Best Tips to Find Your Ring Size
Knowing your ring size is essential to purchasing a well-fitting band. Check out our list below to help find your perfect fit.
This was my first time ordering from overstocks overall I was pleased....
ITEM#: 13041736A claddagh design with sparkling white diamonds in the heart defines this pretty ring. The fashion ring is crafted of fine sterling silver with a highly polished finish.
|Sterling Silver

I've ordered several Claddagh rings as gifts online before from another site, and this is the first & only ring I've ever been truly happy with. My family is of Irish descent, many family members (including myself) have their own Claddagh ring, so I'm extremely picky about how the ring is styled. I purchased this particular ring as a Christmas gift for a friend, & I love it so much I'm considering ordering one for myself to replace the one I wear now. As the previous poster said, pay attention to the 2nd picture: the crowns are different in the first & second pictures. The ring I received has the crown shown in the 2nd picture. The diamonds in the heart aren't over the top glittery, but they provide enough sparkle (in my opinion) even though they're smaller. I think that the ring looks like I paid about $100 or so for it, not the much lower price listed here on Overstock. My only complaint is that the inner part of the main portion of ring is hollow - I was hoping that the back of the crown, hands, & heart would be filled with sterling silver. The band itself is filled. However, even with this part of the design, in my opinion the ring is still smooth enough that it's comfortable. I would definitely recommend this product, & will most likely be back to purchasing my own ring once my size (hopefully) back in stock! Hopefully the friend I purchased this for likes it as much as I do!Read More
I love things that have meaning behind them and have always wanted a Claddagh ring. My promise ring got torn up so I was trying to figure out something different (and cheaper) to replace it when I saw this ring. I would recommend this ring. It is sterling silver like it says and it's not bulky. Having small hands this is an issue (bigger rings make my hands/fingers look smaller)and its an acceptable size. However the diamonds in the heart are a little smaller than I expected, but it still is a pretty ring. I look forward to wearing this for years to come!Read More
this is a nice looking ring, and i shouldn't have expected any actual diamonds for $$$. it still disappointed me to look at it with a magnifier and see nothing but glass mirrors. don't fall for this one, unless you want a nice-looking sterling silver claddaugh ring for $$$ that doesn't have any gems. i should have gone cubic zirconia for that price, though. this is why i don't usually shop at overstock.com. amazon is way better.Read More

I love this ring. I got it for my birthday and it is beautiful. I have been looking for a pretty and affordable claddagh ring for a long time. This one was perfect.Read More
The ring is beautiful. and looks amazing. As of now I could not be any more happy with it. I am only concerned to see if the ring will turn fingers green. If you do not see another post from me assume it was good to go.Read More

Hearing Summary: Senate VA/HUD Appropriations Subcommittee Focuses on NSF FY 02 Budget Request
June 6, 2001
On Wednesday June 6, 2001, the Senate VA/HUD Appropriations Subcommittee convened a hearing on the NSF FY 02 Budget Request. NSF Director Rita Colwell, National Science Board Chair Eamon Kelly, and NSF Inspector General Christine Boesz testified. Senator Barbara Mikulski, wielding the gavel as the new Subcommittee Chair, (D-MD) and Ranking Member Senator Christopher Bond (R-MO) opened the session by affirming the bipartisan spirit of the subcommittee and their intent to double the NSF budget in five years. Both felt that the FY 02 request was inadequate, but cautioned that additional funding would require increased attention to management and oversight. This theme of accountability was also evident by Boesz's appearance, the first time an NSF Inspector General had been invited to testify at an appropriations hearing.
During her testimony, Colwell detailed the $4.47 billion FY 02 request-a 1.3% increase over last year. Kelly stressed the importance of sound investments in science and engineering for strengthening the American economy. In the concluding testimony, Boesz noted that the IG's office will be paying particular attention to basic award administration, management of large infrastructure projects, and cost sharing.
Mikulski started the questions session by criticizing the decrease in funding for research and asking Colwell, "Is this (budget) what you really wanted or what you got?" Colwell responded that this is a transition year budget and it provides increases in key areas, such as graduate student stipends, mathematics research, and the initiation of Math and Science Partnerships, part of President Bush's K-12 education plan. As Mikulski pressed on, Kelly added that the request substantially underfunds research, but both he and Colwell were dedicated to future budget increases. Mikulski was also concerned that the Math and Science Partnerships drew money away from other K-12 programs and was skeptical "it would really make a difference." Colwell assured her that the NSF would be implementing the best practices from previous programs and that partnering higher education with K-12 was a winning combination.
Bond's first comment was a call for clear-cut milestones
to track progress as the NSF budget increases in the
future. Colwell said advances in areas such as high-speed
terascale computing, plant genomics, understanding
the complexity of the environment, and nanotechnology
were of high priority. Kelly added that increasing
diversity in the science and engineering student population
and workforce was essential to the nation. Bond then
raised concern over the NSF merit review system, training
high tech workers and a lack of nuclear engineering
programs. He concluded by asserting that NSF should
not solely focus on the top research institutions
and criticized the flat funding for EPSCoR, Historically
Black Colleges and Universities, and Tribal Colleges
programs. Colwell replied that NSF supports many small
institutions, although Kelly noted that the current
budget does not make things easy. Bond responded that
"what the Administration has directed may be possible
for the legislature to undirect."

Welcome to Pay Raise Day 2007! We did it! After ten long years, today America gets a raise! It's a special day for working families, and I'm honored to be here with you.
We have so many leaders here today who have dedicated their lives to the nation's workers - John Sweeney, Anna Burger, Paul Sherry, Maude Hurd, Kim Gandy, William McNary, Michael Goodwin, many other champions for working families. My thanks to them, and to each and every one of you who have joined us here today.
You were the true soldiers in this great battle for fairness and justice. You pounded the pavements, you knocked on doors, you made the phone calls to send out the message that no one in America who works for a living should have to live in poverty!
In the ten years that we worked to get this bill passed, I met countless minimum wage workers. I heard their stories of struggle and survival:
How they worked more than one job. How they saved every penny they could. How they had to make impossible choices every day about what food they could afford to buy and what bills they could afford pay.
Today I'm thinking of each of them - the 13 million Americans who will see more money in their paychecks for the first time in a decade under this bill. They will have a few more dollars to spend on the essentials of life, or a few more hours to spend time with their families. 6 million children will have better food, better health, and better opportunities for the future.
Don't let anyone tell you that what we do here in Washington doesn't make a difference to real people. 6 million children with a brighter future - that's the difference having a Democratic Congress makes!
We've overcome many obstacles. We've faced every tactic in the Republican anti-worker playbook - to get this minimum wage increase across the finish line. And let me assure you here today, we have only just begun to fight!!!
We need your help just as much in the battles ahead.
Will you join us in the fight for affordable health care?
Will you join us in the fight for better, safer schools?
Will you join us in the fight to create more good American jobs?
Will you join us in the fight to make sure minimum wage workers are never left behind again?
You and I know how important these battles are. You and I know we're right. And we know that if we keep working hard together, the future of working Americans will only get brighter! Thank you very much.
Increasing the minimum wage will make an immediate and significant difference in the lives of millions of hard-working Americans.
An estimated 13 million Americans will benefit from an increase to $7.25 an hour - 5.6 million directly, and another 7.4 million indirectly. More than sixty percent of these workers are women, and almost forty percent are people of color.
Almost eighty percent of those who benefit are adult workers, not teenagers seeking pocket change.
This raise means that minimum wage earners will almost immediately earn an additional $1,500 to help support their families. When the full increase takes effect in 2009, these workers will see a total increase of $4,400 per year - enough for a low-income family of three to buy:
o 15 months of groceries
o 19 months of utilities
o 8 months of rent
o Over two years of health care
o 20 months of child care
o 30 months of college tuition at a public, 2 year college
Increasing the minimum wage will help combat poverty in our nation.
The number of Americans in poverty has increased by 5.4 million since President Bush took office. 37 million Americans currently live in poverty, including 13 million children.
Among full-time, year-round workers, poverty has increased by 50 percent since the late 1970s.
This increase to the minimum wage, combined with the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the food stamps program, will bring a family of four above the poverty line. It will benefit an estimated 6.4 million children of low-income workers.
Britain has the second largest economy in Europe (after Germany). They implemented a minimum wage in 1999 that has had no adverse employment effects, and has lifted 1.8 million British children out of poverty. They raised their minimum wage to about $9.58 per hour last year, and they are planning to raise this rate to about $9.96 in October of this year.
Increasing the minimum wage restores lost value.
Every day minimum wage workers waited for a raise, the minimum wage lost value, and workers have fallen farther and farther behind. This raise restores the purchasing power of minimum wage workers.
Since the minimum wage was last raised in 1997, its real value has eroded by 22 percent. Before this raise, minimum wage workers had lost all of the gains of the 1996-1997 increase.
Even with this increase, the real value of the minimum wage will still be $2.25 below what it was at its peak in 1968. To have the purchasing power it had in 1968, the minimum wage would have to be $9.50 an hour today, not $5.15.

UPDATE: Tropical Depression #4 Impacts Turks and Caicos
Tropical Depression #4 is impacting the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas.
Little has changed for the system, which is still packing maximum sustained winds of 35 MPH. Its movement has slowed somewhat as it rumbles towards the northwest at 11 MPH.
The National Hurricane Center's official forecast cone remains virtually unchanged. The official forecast upgrades the system to Tropical Storm Cristobal sometime Saturday night into Sunday morning. It could develop into a hurricane on Tuesday.
As of 8:00 PM, South Florida remains outside the forecast cone. However, forecasters say this is still a tricky system and South Floridians should remain vigilant.
Tropical Depression #4 has officially formed in the southeastern Bahamas.
The depression packs maximum sustained winds of 35 miles per hour and traveling northwest at 12 miles per hour.
The National Hurricane Center's official trajectory has it developing into Tropical Storm Cristobal sometime tonight or early tomorrow morning and possibly becoming a hurricane on Tuesday.
For now, the forecast cone projects the system staying offshore and veering out to sea.

Unknown Territory For Conroy
Unknown Territory For Conroy
After nine straight wins in the New Zealand Formula Ford Championship Invercargill driver Jamie Conroy faces his biggest challenge of the season when he lines up for Round 4 at Hampton Downs in North Waikato this weekend.
Conroy has never raced on the undulating 2.7 kilometre Hampton Downs circuit before and in fact the only time he has seen it was when it was under construction prior to it's opening in 2009. "It will be a completely different set of challenges this weekend but we are ready for that," says Conroy as he prepares to travel north for his first appearance at the track. "I have only seen the place before it was built when the track was completely clay. I have been watching You Tube videos to learn my way around," he says. "It looks like it has a fair share of fast, flowing corners which should suit the Mygale."
The Mygale is the chassis that Conroy has driven to a 100% record in the championship to date. While he has been the man the rest of the field have been chasing at the first three rounds, Jamie is expecting Wanganui driver Aaron Marr to be on the pace in the North Island. Marr, driving a car similar to Conroy's, is currently third in the championship with 468 points. Conroy leads with 675 points, 72 ahead of Christchurch driver Michael Collins. While Conroy is facing the final three rounds of the championship on tracks he has never raced on before Collins has the advantage of having contested the full championship last year and has raced at Hampton Downs and the venues for the final two rounds, Manfeild Park in Feilding and the Taupo Motorsport Park.
While he has compiled an impressive winning streak Conroy says, "our focus is on the National Championship as a whole, not winning individual races."
After qualifying on Saturday morning Conroy will line up for the first race of the fourth round that afternoon. before two more races on Sunday.
Jamie Conroy's Formula Ford campaign is supported by Horgan Farms, Evolution Motorsport, Progressive Engineering Southland Ltd, Waikato Milking Systems, Gulf, John Deere, Gallagher, SP Tools, Hydraulink, George Wilson Sales Ltd, Sievwright Auto, PPG, E Hayes, Southern Wide Real Estate, Radcliffe Electrical and R & A Williams.

A suspicious smell at 9:30 Friday morning caused an evacuation at Martin Elementary School in Flowery Branch. But by 10:30 a.m., a sweep of the building by Hall County Fire officials found no cause for alarm.
Principal Tamara Seymour said a teacher reported a suspicious smell in her classroom and alerted her. After inspecting the cause of the smell with the school custodian, Seymour said she called the fire department to confirm whether the smell was actually natural gas.
She said once the alert was issued, it took 1 minute, 55 seconds to evacuate all 800 students and 105 employees at the school, located at 4216 Martin Road.
"We went to the room and evaluated the heating unit ... and it was definitely a different smell than anything we've ever experienced," she said. "Another concern was that the heating unit was not (supposed to be) on, and because it was on was another reason for me to be alarmed."
Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle said crews responding to the scene said they did not find any sign of a gas leak. By 10:30 a.m., students were filing back into the school.

Sarah Silverman On Becoming A Lumpy Cave Lady, Going Full-Frontal
"I saw my full frontal, I had an actual heart attack — and I'm proud to have done it … I actually gained 20 pounds for the role. I wanted to be lumpier. I said, wouldn't it be interesting to have a posture of a lady caveman. I'm really happy with that."
– Sarah Silverman on watching her nude scene in the upcoming film "Take This Waltz," in which she plays a recovering alcoholic. Her "shower scene" takes place amongst a group of women of all shapes, sizes, and ages after a water aerobics class. Sarah Polley, who directed this romantic drama (also starring Seth Rogan and Michelle Williams), wanted to show real women with real bodies. Consider my film interest completely piqued.

Deaths in the 1992 LA Riot
Past students expressed concern about my not mentioning White people killed in the 1992 Los Angeles riot. Besides Reginald Denny, who was beaten but not killed, there were three other White people who were killed in front of witnesses during the riot. Of course, these were not the only people killed in the riot. Most who were killed were Black and Latino. I found a web site that listed all of the deaths and what is known about their circumstances.
I have summarized this information in the table below, and have also pasted below a copy of the material from the web site. The more general site includes many other articles about the riot.
Deaths in the 1992 Los Angeles Riot
Notes: I counted people as shot by police, National Guard, or store owner either when that is known or when that was the conclusion of the police investigation. In some cases, those killed were shooting at the police, in other cases they were unarmed and/or shot in the back. I counted people as "shot by other, seen" when someone was charged or the description of events implies people saw the shooter and the shooter was NOT police, national guard, or store owners; I counted them as "shot, not seen" if it is not clear who did the shooting (i.e. it could have been the police but it also could have been a "rioter" or other civilian). Three of the Black people who died in a car accident were being chased by police after a robbery call. One of the Asians who was killed was involved in a gun battle between two different groups of Koreans who apparently thought each other were gangs of looters. In short, the riot involved BOTH some attacks by angry Blacks on Whites or Latinos, but ALSO a lot of other kinds of violence that led to deaths.

The multi contour seats do not have the ventilated or active function, those are in the comfort seat option.

We all have our pet peeves about this game. One of mine happens when I've been getting nothing but junk hands for hours, and then I'm dealt something like 10-9 suited, or maybe a baby suited ace— something that's just good enough to call. Full of eager anticipation at finally seeing a flop, my joy quickly turns to "Oh @#%# I have to fold again" when one of the players in front of me puts in a raise.
In a case like this, the temptation to cold-call, that is to call for two bets when one has not yet put any money in the pot, can be very strong. I'll confess that I have succumbed to this temptation from time to time. In this I have a lot of company, because cold-calling with inferior hands preflop is one of the most common mistakes in poker. It's also one of the most ruinous.
That's partly because the opportunity arises so often. Unless you're sitting at a table full of nits, preflop raises are a common occurrence. Quality hands, by contrast, are relatively few and far between. But more than that, every loose cold-call you make has the potential to snowball into a stack-busting disaster if—as so often happens—you catch just enough of the flop to make an expensive second-best hand. It's this noxious double-whammy, the frequency of this mistake coupled with the nasty way it can blow up on you, that makes loose cold-calls so deadly.
As a general rule, whenever you're facing a preflop raise, you should be looking to either reraise or get out. The vast majority of the time, those are your best options. But there is a range of hands, a very narrow kind of no man's land between the clear folds and the aggressive three-bets, where cold-calling becomes a viable alternative. Like everything else in poker, this range is always shifting, depending on the exact circumstances.
For starters, always consider the preflop raiser. There's a multiverse of difference between calling two bets cold from a tight player who raised UTG, and cold-calling the same two bets from a drunk maniac sitting in the cutoff. Before anything else you must consider the source. How much do you respect this opponent's preflop raises? What range do you put him on? No wishful thinking allowed here, no talking yourself into believing he's raising with the low end of his range so it probably won't hurt to call with A-J this time. It's rationalizations like this that can kill you in the long run.
The next crucial question is: how many players will be in this pot? If other players have already cold-called before it gets to you, or if there were limpers in front of the raise who are likely to call again for one more bet, you know you're looking at a multiway pot. Now you can call for two bets with some drawing-type hands, starting with big suited Broadway cards. The more opponents you know are going to play this pot, the looser you can cold-call, down to the medium suited connectors or medium pocket pairs. More opponents equals better implied odds, so with multiway action you want to cold-call with hands that have the potential to hit big. The key here is being able to get away from the hand if the flop doesn't hit you just right. If your pocket pair didn't flop a set or if your suited connectors only hit for a middling pair, you must be able to walk away.
What you don't want to do is cold-call with hands that are easily dominated, such as K-J or A-10. Even suited, these hands are always dangerous against a raiser. It's far too easy to be out-kicked, or simply out-pipped, when you make a pair. Against a player who has already told you his hand is strong, cold-calling with potentially dominated hands is just pushing your luck. Never a good idea in poker.

THE education boss proposing a change to the school week has admitted that an early finish on a Friday could cause problems for parents.
The admission was made during Tuesday night's public meeting in the high school, at which a small turnout of parents and teachers heard about plans to move to a four-and-a-half day week. The proposal would mean all schools operating longer days from Monday to Thursday, but a shorter day on a Friday – with children leaving at lunchtime, while teachers work on.
It was heard that the idea has been put forward to allow schools to prepare better, share a structure and resources, and maximise teachers' contracted hours – while also saving £9million from Scottish Borders Council's budget over the next five years.
And although Glenn Rodger, the director of education, outlined the benefits for both teachers and pupils, he did not disagree with one parent who said it would hit her in the pocket.
The concerned mum-of-two told the meeting: "This might save Hawick High School money, but it certainly won't save me any. The summer holidays cost me a fortune, and myself and my husband are already stretched to the max."
Mr Rodger conceded: "There are issues, and the biggest is childcare. We can't offer to pay for childcare."
And despite giving assurances that out-of-school clubs would be increased, he added: "We fully recognise there is a transfer onto parents."
Other concerns raised included the longer day for younger children and rural pupils, but Mr Rodgers stressed: "It takes a bit of getting used to, but it will become the norm."
Secretary of the high school's parent council, Dawn Nairn, said it fully supported the change to a 33-period week, as did Drumlanrig Primary head teacher Jeanette Gordon, who commented: "The biggest benefit will be quality time for devlopment work."
New head master Kevin McClory, who recently took up the post from West Lothian, also backed the proposal.
"I come from an authority that implemented an assymetric week and firmly believe it is the way forward," he stated.
All views will be reported back at SBC on March 27.

Carnival Fantasy exceeded our expections by a mile: Carnival Fantasy Cruise Review by hepcat72
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Fantasy exceeded our expections by a mile
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Charleston
This time it was just the two of us for 7 nights. We were very impressed. The crew was exceptional, totally above and beyond anything we expected. The captain steered us through some rough seas out of Charleston. He did a very good job in winds gusting to 72 knots. Smooth sailing after that. The ship was spotless. Our favorite activities were the trivia contests and miniature golf. In the evening we liked the Piano Bar. We chose to eat primarily in the dining room. The food there was exceptional. We even had the same waiter as we did 15 years ago when we cruised with the kids.
The ports of call were so-so. Nassau, Half Moon Cay, and Grand Turk. We weren't focused on them anyway, so no big loss. More We didn't do any excursions, but just walked around near the pier. The best was Nassau because it's bigger. The least-best was Half Moon Cay because of all the intense sun that we were trying to avoid. If Carnival had pushed the the return to ship deadline maybe two hours later, especially at Half Moon, that would have been nice, because we could have walked on the beach in the late afternoon/early evening and minimized the sun exposure.
Overall - an excellent trip. Would do it again, although maybe try a bigger ship next time for a change of pace. Less
Published 06/08/13
Cabin review: 5AR100
R100. Excellent room. Quiet. Near enough to mid-ship so that motion was very minimal. The bathroom and closet space were ample and the bed excellent. The thermostat system may have been hard for a small, elderly, or handicapped person to adjust. Nice view of the ocean. The room service was excellent.
Port and Shore Excursions
As with Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk would have been nicer if the ship had stayed a little longer in port, into the late afternoon or early evening, so that we could have walked on the beach without getting too much sun exposure. It was, however, a nice beach and very accessible. The facilities onshore looked like they were owned by Carnival, so not really too interesting. I supposed that if we had taken an excursion, we might have seen more of the island.
Would have enjoyed it much more if the ship had stayed a little longer into the late afternoon or evening. As it was, it's a very sun-drenched location, and we were trying to avoid getting burned. Also, unlike the other two ports, where there is a pier, at Half Moon you have to get on a launch, which my wife doesn't care for. There was, however, a nice grass-hut bar on the beach.
Walked around downtown for a few hours. Had a nice time. In retrospect, taking an excursion might have been a good idea since Nassau has a fair amount to see.

Antique Tinplate Model Trains
For serious railroad aficionados, the word "tinplate" is synonymous with "toy trains," meaning a miniature train that is not made to scale. Toy trains often have oversize elements like smokestacks or wheels. Model trains, by contrast, are authentic replicas of real trains, correctly proportioned right down to the smallest handrail.
True-to-scale model trains were actually first produced as prototypes and marketing tools in 1784, a full 20 years before the first life-size steam locomotive huffed and puffed along two rails in Wales. When the railroad eventually captured the hearts and imaginations of people in Europe and America in the 1840s, toy makers started producing miniature trains for children to play with.
Like toy soldiers, the earliest toy trains were made of lead and had no moving parts. Some had wheels that turned, but these had to be pushed or pulled. A few of the early 19th-century push toy trains were made of tinplate, like the large, durable, stylized locomotive toys in the U.S., which were painted red and gold and decorated with hearts and flowers.
Around 1875, technological advancements in materials and manufacturing allowed tin to be stamped, cut, rolled, and lithographed faster than ever before. In Europe, particularly in France and Germany, these new techniques were employed to mass-produce tinplate clockwork toys, moving human and animal figurines, boats, cars, motorcycles, and, naturally, toy trains. Other tin-toy manufacturers, particularly those in Britain, made toy trains out of tin or brass that ran on steam—they were called "piddlers" or "dribblers" because of their propensity to leak.
Still, 19th-century toy trains lacked one important element, a track. Even though Germany dominated the tin-toy market with top-notch companies like Lehmann, Bing, Issmayer, Carette, and Günthermann, it was a French company, E.F. LeFèvre Successeurs, that made the first stations, signals, and sheds of tinplate to accompany its trains. The LeFèvre train "track" was rather primitive, though; a circle of tin with two grooves in it for the wheels.
No one expected that German toy company Märklin, which was better known for its dollhouse accessories and toy kitchens, would lead the next revolution in toy trains, but Märklin did just that in 1891 at the Leipzig Toy Fair, where the company debuted the first toy railway system.
Along with its windup tinplate trains, Märklin's introduced the concept of "gauges" to standardize model-train measurements—these gauges are still used today. Märklin's trains ca...
Märklin's other major innovation was the concept of interchangeable tracks that incorporated "turnouts" (where two tracks diverge to become four) and crossings (where two pairs of tracks intersect). Parents could buy additional sections of tracks for their children to make their train layouts longer and longer, so soon Märklin was producing stations, tunnels, bridges, and figurines to line these routes. Thus, the world of miniature train sets was born.
The next major breakthrough, circa 1897, was the introduction of trains that ran on alternating currents of electricity. Carlisle & Finch is usually credited with introducing electric tinplate trains to the U.S. market, while Märklin is often cited as the company that developed the technology in Europe. It wasn't long before German manufacturers like Karl Bub and Bing, as well as U.S. companies like American Flyer, Ives, Lionel, and Marx, got on board and started producing their own lines of electric toy trains, usually out of tinplate or stamped steel. German toy manufacturer Hans Biller bucked this technology trend by producing windup trains and then battery-powered models.
Following the tradition of American toy trains, Lionel made big, sturdy, stylized toy trains in a non-standard gauge, 2 1/8 inches, which it cleverly branded as "Standard." Before long, it was. In fact, by the 1920s, Standard gauge Lionel products dominated the tinplate toy train market in the U.S.
By the '20s and '30s, adults began to admit to their fascination with toy trains. German and U.S. companies egged one another on to introduce more and more innovations for their miniature trains, including safer electrical systems and even smaller gauges like the HO scale, which finally led to the production of genuine model trains.
This growing hobby all but came to a halt during World War II, when raw materials like tin and toy factories were devoted to the war effort. Many of the prewar toy trains by Lionel and other top companies were melted down in scrap-metal drives, assuring their scarcity today. After the war, some firms returned to making tinplate toy trains, but only briefly. Most postwar manufacturers, including Lionel, responding to the puiblic's desire for more realistic model trains, made their locomotives out of diecast metal and, later, plastic.

A 67-year-old Anderson man is accused of posing as a police officer and raping a young mother, and detectives are concerned there could be other victims out there.
Terry Lee Duckworth is in the Madison County Jail on a $50,000 full cash only bond. He was arrested for one count of rape and another count of criminal deviate conduct, both Class B felonies.
"He said he was an Anderson Police officer and he told his victims that they had to perform sexual acts or he wouldn't let them go," said Detective Joel Sandefur, Anderson Police Department.
Police say in July, a 24-year-old mother was pushing her one-year-old daughter near a downtown Anderson park when Duckworth came up to her and began to talk about the weather. The young mother walked back to her apartment. She says Duckworth followed her home and complimented her on how attractive she was, and asked her if she was hungry or if she needed money.
The woman said she told Duckworth she wasn't interested in him, but as she went inside her apartment, Duckworth followed her in and attacked her. The woman fought back and tried to escape to another room, but says Duckworth was able to reach her and attack her a second time.
Duckworth allegedly told the woman that he was an Anderson Police officer and that she was going to be arrested for prostitution after soliciting him for sex in exchange for money, as well as being arrested for battery.
"Thankfully the child was not harmed. His attention was on the mother," said Det. Sandefur.
The woman reported the incident to Anderson Police, and an investigation led to Duckworth's eventual arrest.
Duckworth was sent to jail for four years after threatening to kill a woman in 2007. His victim in that crime was horrified to find out about the latest accusation.
"I'm appalled he is even released from prison, given his prior criminal record," she said. The woman did not wish her name to be used in this report.
Terry Duckworth has a long history of run-ins with the law. Prior to this arrest and the prison time he served for threatening the woman in 2007, Duckworth was accused of stabbing and killing a woman in 1979. A jury eventually acquitted Duckworth on those charges.
Suggested Links
Now Anderson Police, along with Duckworth's former victim, are hoping that more women will come forward if they were harmed.
"It is not okay to be assaulted by a man. Please come forward. He is not a police officer. He will never get out of prison again," she said.
Police say a similar case involving stalking was filed in January within months of when Duckworth got out of jail for that intimidation conviction.

Don't mind getting the Fly Highs if I need to, but it all adds up quickly! I think these will fit, but since they have the "waterbed" type fittings, how much modification will it require? My gut tells me to spend the $$ and go with the Fly High Pro X so it's a 5 minute swap, but wanted to get input from the experts.

By K.J. Pilcher
Special for NASCAR Wire Service, as distributed by The Sports Xchange
NEWTON, Iowa -- A drive for 25. At least that is what some NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers would relish.
With the 2013 NCWTS season schedule expected to be released soon, some drivers shared their opinions for the series to expand back to 25 races in a Friday news conference before opening practice for the American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway.
"I'm hearing a lot of that chatter in the garage," Points leader Timothy Peters said. "I think it would be great to get back to 25 races."
The last time the season consisted of less than 25 races was 22 in 2002. This season started Feb. 24, and the 22-race season is a little more than one-third finished. June was the first month this season with three race weekends, competing only once in February and March.
Fewer races spread out the first part of the schedule. If a driver falters, he doesn't receive a quick chance to rebound.
"Hopefully next year they'll get 25," Matt Crafton said. "If you race and have a bad weekend, usually back to back weekends you can recover the next weekend, but we have to have salt in the wound for a whole month."
Races are more frequent from here on out, squeezing 14 in from today until Nov. 16. The drivers prefer race weekends over extended ones.
"I'm looking forward to the rest of the season," Rookie Ty Dillon said. "I'm really excited to get to some races where we race back-to-back weekends and stop having so many long weekends off."
Crafton said he would like to see an addition of road courses and even an extra race at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway on the new schedule. Peters has heard the possibility of a schedule that suits his short-track history.
"Everybody is curious for a couple weeks when it does come out," Peters said. "I can't wait. Hopefully, we get that mixture of short tracks and road courses."
Dillon's history leads to good feelings
Ty Dillon is searching for his first win in the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series. A successful history at Iowa Speedway provides a boost of confidence heading in to the American Ethanol 200 on Saturday.
"I've got a good feeling about this weekend," Dillon said. "You've got to have confidence coming in here after the good runs and success that we've had here."
Dillon, who is tied for second in overall points trailing Peters by only four, won the ARCA Series Prairie Meadows 200 last year and was second in the 2010 ARCA race. Older brother, Austin Dillon, won the NCWTS race at Iowa Speedway in the same black Chevrolet No. 3 truck for their grandfather's Richard Childress Racing in 2010. The younger Dillon said the track fits their driving style, and they will share notes.
"Last year and the years before I was watching the practices, spending every moment with him while he was here racing," Dillon said. "I'm sure after practice I'll be calling him and make sure to see the things I have to learn and the different things I can tell him I'm learning now."
Dillon expects some of his old tricks from his NASCAR K&N Pro Series and ARCA performances at the 0.875-mile oval to transfer to trucks competition.
"I will probably have to drive a little bit harder with these trucks. They have so much downforce and that big windshield," Dillon said. "I'm sure I'll have to tweak the driving style a little bit, but little things I've always used here at this race track will probably stay the same."
A trip to Victory Lane is the one thing the front-runner for Sunoco Rookie of the Year is missing. He has top-10 finishes in all eight starts this season, and two at the end of last year give him 10 in 11 starts. He said he'd give his team a "C" grade since they are in the top three of a heated points race; a jump to first or second would garner an "A" or "B," respectively.
"My approach is to win races," Dillon said. "You have to finish the race to win it, so if we finish it my team's good enough to finish in the top 10, but we need to be able to win them to win the championship."
Peters plans patient aggressiveness
Red Horse Racing's Timothy Peters is leading the truck points standings. The racing veteran knows his margin for error is slim to stay on top, considering the top four drivers are separated by a mere nine points, with the top seven within 50 points of the lead.
"Everybody's going to be tough," Peters said. "We just need to be a little bit better.
"We still have some fine-tuning to do. I'm proud of what we've put together, to have this momentum and to be able to compete."
Peters has yet to win, but has a series-high five top-five finishes and seven in the top 10. He has plenty of motivation to capture his first victory and overcome the challenge from his consistent competitors.
"We feel they're right there," Peter said. "They're not making mistakes. They're racing smart. That's what we're going to have to do as well."
Armstrong tops practice
Rookie Dakoda Armstrong, who is 16th in points and looking for his first top-10 finish, was the fastest in the only on-track action for the truck series Friday, posting a fast lap time of 23.341 seconds (134.956 mph). Joey Coulter was second in the 80-minute practice session with a time of 23.506 and 2011 Iowa Speedway winner Matt Crafton was third.
NCWTS drivers will have a final one-hour practice session beginning Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ET. Pole qualifying will begin at 5 p.m. with the 200-lap race set for 8:30 p.m. ET.

It doesn't work 'out of the box' but with 10 minutes' effort & tiny brainpower, it works. OK, I used these sites: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Dell+Studio+15 AND http://jomcode.com/fadhil/
The Dell 1397 wireless controller found in the Studio 15 laptop is supported by a hybrid driver released by Broadcom.
More information can be found at http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archi...ess-cards.aspx.
Well, it worked for me as follows:
Go to a box with internet & download driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Currently, it's hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5_10_91_9.tar.gz. Save it in root folder of BT4b.
Boot BT4b, open a konsole & type:
wlan0 or eth1 should appear. Internet can be used at this stage.Code:tar -xvzf hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5_10_91_9.tar.gz make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` rmmod bcm43xx; rmmod b43; rmmod b43legacy rmmod ndiswrapper modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip insmod wl.ko ifconfig
To load the module upon boot:
If you get no error on modprobe, then it worked perfectly! Next you have to tell your system to load the module at startup. Edit the file /etc/modules to include the following:Code:cp wl.ko /lib/modules/126.96.36.199/kernel/net/wireless depmod -a modprobe wl
Code:ieee80211_crypt_tkip wl
Lastly (optional), housekeeping........ ........ delete the files from root folder that you just created over last 10 minutes, you don't need them any more!!

Transkei Travel Guide
Coffee Bay © Jon Rawlinson
The region of the Eastern Cape which used to be called the Transkei (and usually still is identified as such by South Africans) was formerly a Bantustan: land set aside exclusively for the use of a black ethnic group during Apartheid, and supposedly governed independently by its population. The region has a tumultuous and sad political history and remains a mostly rural area where poverty is still rife. However, it is an area of spectacular natural beauty which is popular with adventurous travellers looking for an experience of unspoilt landscapes and authentic rural culture.
The main attraction is the Wild Coast, which as the name suggests is remarkably undeveloped, boasting near pristine stretches of coastline where rolling hills, grassland and forest grow right onto the beach undisturbed. Accommodation tends to be rustic, with the most famous venues being isolated camping and backpacking communities, making the Transkei an ideal South African destination for young budget travellers and backpackers. It is also a wonderful surfing destination, with some gorgeous surf breaks that are never crowded and often 'secret' - just watch out for sharks.
East London is a good starting point for a journey into the Transkei. There are a few tour operators offering great bus services through the region, but apart from this, the only way to get around is by hiring a car and road tripping. Bear in mind that although this is a wonderful way to explore, the infrastructure is awful and the roads can be really challenging, with animals like cows, donkeys and dogs strolling about, huge potholes, and virtually no signposts. For confident drivers this is all part of the adventure, but travellers shouldn't expect to get anywhere fast in the Transkei.

History of the department
Dr. Sam.G.P.Moses- Founder Prof.V.Seshiah-First professor
The development of Diabetology as a separate speciality in Tamilnadu could be traced back to the 1940s. It took roots in Madras Medical College in the year 1946, when Late Lt.Col. K.P.G. Menon and Late Dr. Sam.G.P.Moses started an independent Diabetic Clinic at Government General Hospital in 1950. It was upgraded as a Department with 12 beds in 1970. A chair in Diabetology was created in 1978 and Prof.V.Seshiah became the first ever Professor of Diabetology in the Country. In 1979, the bed strength of the Department was increased to 30 (thirty) by the Government of Tamil Nadu. First of its kind in entire India, a separate fulltime Two years "Post-Graduate Diploma in Diabetology course" was started in the year 1985 affiliated to Madras University . Subsequently, the course was affiliated with The Tamilnadu DR.MGR Medical University and it is the only diabetology course in the entire Nation to have the recognition of the Medical Council of India. In March 2009 the diabetology department of Madras Medical College achieved yet another milestone of being upgraded as Institute of Diabetology. The Tamilnadu DR.MGR Medical University has given approval to start M.D., (Diabetology) course in our Institute, which may be started in the next Academic year.
List of successive Heads of Department
Name of the professor
Dr.Sam G.P.Moses , M.D.,
Dr.Seshaiah, M.D.,
Dr.A.Sundaram M.D.,
Dr.R.S. Hariharan M.D.,
Dr.N.Rajendran M.D. D.Diab
The Department is actively engaged in basic research, clinical research and experimental research in Diabetes. Over 100 papers have been presented / published in regional, national and International conferences and Journals.
The categorisation of a Third Syndrome called Insulin Requiring Diabetes Mellitus (IRDM) from this Department to delineate non ketotic insulin requiring diabetics has been well received and a collaborative study on the hormonal profile of these patients with the Institute for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, "Vuk Vrhovac", Zagreb, Yugoslavia, a WHO collaborating Centre and Information Clearing House for Diabetes in Developing Countries is being planned.
Similarly the findings of the Pregnancy Diabetic Services of the Department that even minor deviations in glucose tolerance from normal during pregnancy is associated with increased foetal risk, has been appreciated at the Third Aberdeen International Colloquium on Carbohydrate Metabolism in Pregnancy and the Newborn at Aberdeen, U.K., in April 1983.
Two of the Research Scholars from the Department have been awarded the Ph.D Degree for their Research works, one for the work in Laboratory Research and another for the work in Pregnancy Diabetes services during the last three years.

1. The slump isn't much of a slump
Despite appearances, and a few losses full of crooked numbers, the Tigers sit at 11-11 in the month of August. That's nothing to write home about for a team that's aiming to win the division crown, but it's also not a horrific slump, either. Consider last year, when the Tigers won the AL Central and clinched it a week before the season ended, the Tigers were within a game of .500 in three of the six months of the season. In 2012, they had two months just like it, too, and were three games under .500 in May. Way back in 2006, the Tigers had a six week stretch over August and September where they didn't win a single series.
Over the course of a six month long season, teams are bound to have a few bumps in the road. When it comes to wins and losses, this recent stretch is nothing unlike what the Tigers have gone through in prior years when they had some significant postseason success.
2. The pitching staff is about to get healthier
In a cruel twist of fate, the Tigers lost a pair of starting pitchers just as they were entering a stretch full of playing every day with a doubleheader mixed in. That forced the Tigers to have to not just reach down to Toledo, but down to Erie and pull up a guy like Buck Farmer, a solid pitching prospect with little experience, and certainly not someone ready to compete against big league hitters. The results were to be expected.
But Justin Verlander returned this past weekend, Anibal Sanchez could return from the disabled list and start this weekend, and Joakim Soria will be back to try and help stabilize the bullpen.
A former Cy Young and MVP winner, last year's AL ERA champ, and an experienced closer. Those are some significant reinforcements for a team that was relying on Farmer, Robbie Ray and the revolving door of relievers from Toledo.
3. Rosters expand on September 1
Yes, that's true for everyone. But in the case of the Tigers, it provides an opportunity to exploit some tactical holes. Ezequiel Carrera is probably best as a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch runner, but has to be used as more than that right now. That won't be the case next week, when the Tigers can add Tyler Collins or Steven Moya to the big league roster. The catchers have also struggled mightily against left-handed pitching, with just a .231 wOBA, but Toledo's James McCann has a .350/.409/.487 slash line against lefties, and he'll be ready and able to come up as well.
The Tigers have been juggling as best they can to manage a roster with some obvious holes and limited alternative options. But when rosters expand, those options increase substantially.
4. The Royals can't keep this up
Fans are in a frenzy over a month in which the Tigers have lost their lead in the AL Central, but it's been far more about the success Kansas City has been having, winners of 24 of their last 31. That's an impressive streak, but it's unsustainable, and likely in line for a correction. No team plays .800 ball for half a season.
According to Baseball Prospectus, it's not just that the Royals are playing above their heads and winning a few more close games than expected. They're winning WAY more, to the tune of an additional ten games between what their projected record should be based on runs scored and what it actually is. Even when adjusted for opponents, it's still nine games higher than expected. That's a larger difference between actual and expected record than any other team in MLB. Toughness and grit and all that aside, Kansas City has gotten a favorable bounce through the first five months of the season.
Correcting for the past can be tough to argue, because there's no going back and changing it, but there's nothing to indicate this hot streak won't end, because all streaks do. And when it does, the underlying projections show the Royals are a .500 baseball team.
5. Star power matters
Max Scherzer. David Price. Miguel Cabrera. Victor Martinez. Verlander. Five players on the Tigers roster, every one of them better than anyone else Kansas City has to offer. That's not to knock a solid Royals club, it's simply to point out the obvious.
The Tigers have a track record of success, because they have some of the best players in baseball. And they still have those same players. Sure, some have had their ups-and-downs this season, but when push comes to shove, you'd still take a down year from Cabrera than the best Alex Gordon has to offer.

From "Opening Soon" to "Now Open" - Jimmy John's South
The banner hanging over Rochester's south Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches shop is changing from "Opening Soon" to "Now Open" today.
Skip and Tammy Christian are delivering their third Med City sandwich shop at 10:30 a.m. this morning.
"We just got the word Friday night that we're cleared to open," says Skip Christian. "Jimmy John's always opens on a Tuesday."
This latest Jimmy John's is along South Broadway in the Crossroads Plaza. It's in the former home of the Maid Rite Diner, which closed earlier this year.
Traffic on the first day could be significant. The sandwiches will start flowing today a few hours before Vice President Joe Biden will appear across the street at the Olmsted County Fairgrounds.
While the process to build out this new location took longer than expected, Christian says it is now ready to roll with clearance from local officials and Jimmy John's head office.
"You've got to be efficient… got to be quick and you've got to be fresh, before you open up," he says.
This new shop is staffed by a team of 30 to 35 people. That'll bring Jimmy John's total employee numbers to almost 100 in Rochester.
While the menu and fast delivery at this location will mirror its older siblings, a drive-though window makes it unique among the other Med City Jimmy John's.
This shop will be exactly the same size as the northwest location, which is at 2986 41st St. N.W. in the Jiffy Lube center. The Christians opened that one in 2009.
Their first shop launched in 2005 in the Kahler Inn and Suites complex in downtown Rochester.
Since then, Jimmy John's has seen a lot of competition come to town, with the latest being a Cousin's Subs opening on Second Street Southwest.
"Competition is good. It really does help us all," Christian says. "It gets people out. I enjoy the variety."


text: Posted January 4, 2007 · Report post This forum is to discuss environmental and green issues related to washing machines. I'm looking to get things into proper perspective though, and believe green issues shouldn't be blindly given top priority. We need balanced facts and a full picture. It's perfectly possible for example to buy a more economical washing machine that costs the environment (and the buyer) much more in the long run because of other factors. I'm all for "green" washing machines" but wary of companies jumping on the bandwagon and selling poor quality washing machines as environmentally friendly. As far as I can see, the most environmentally friendly washing machine you could buy would be one that lasts a long, long time and doesn't end up in landfill after a few short years - even if it did use more water and energy.

The case of a woman accused of running over Richard "Mr. Downtown" Wirick with a Utah Transit Authority bus will be heard by a jury next year.
Cheryl Anne Kidd pleaded not guilty in March to charges of negligent operation causing personal injury, a class B misdemeanor, and failing to yield the right of way at a crosswalk, an infraction, in the 2012 accident that killed the 82-year-old businessman known as Mr. Downtown.
On Friday, a three-day jury trial was scheduled to begin Feb. 18 in Salt Lake City Justice Court.
Wirick was walking across a crosswalk at 200 East and 400 South on Feb. 21, 2012, when the traffic signals changed.
The UTA bus accelerated. The bus had a green light when it hit Wirick in the far right westbound lane of 400 South, according to a police report. He was trapped under the bus until firefighters could remove him.
Kidd, who was driving the bus, told police she did not see Wirick. There was no evidence she had been driving under the influence.
If convicted of the misdemeanor, Kidd, 50, could spend up to six months in jail.
UTA terminated Kidd on March 15, 2012, but would not comment on the circumstances other than to say each case is evaluated individually and drivers are not automatically terminated for involvement in a fatal crash.
Wirick owned the Oxford Shop shoe store, at 65 W. 100 South, for nearly six decades. He earned his nickname, Mr. Downtown, for his unwavering support of downtown business.

I Had Dysport a Week Ago in my Forehead. Both my Eyelids Are Swollen. Will This Go Away and if So How Long Will It Take?
I Had Dysport a Week Ago in my Forehead. Both my Eyelids Are Swollen. Will This Go Away and if So How Long Will It Take?
Doctor Answers 6
Dysport should not caused eyelid swelling. I would recommend that you follow-up with your provider who injected you. It may be that the Dysport is causing heaviness or drooping of the eyelid.
Post Dysport Treatment Swelling
Thank you for your question. Sometimes people can have or feel heaviness of the lids or forehead and usually subsides after 2 weeks, but sometimes longer. Eyelid swelling and puffiness is not a usual side effect of Dysport injections. Be certain to get evaluated and be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.
Swollen eyelids following Dysport?
It is rare to have swollen eyelids after Dysport injections. In general, side effects from Dysport injections may include the following:
1) Bruising
2) Headaches
3) Eyelid ptosis
4) An expressionless appearance - (if too much is injected, or the injections are not performed properly)
5) Minor swelling
Sometimes patients experience ptosis of their eyelid, drooping of the lid, that can be confused with swelling. I would see an doctor to ensure you are actually having swelling and not another side effect.
All side effects from Botox will subside following a over a few weeks to months. I would recommend following up with your physician who performed the injections regarding any concerns. Thanks and good luck!

You might also like...
It is likely that what you are describing as swelling is actually eyebrow ptosis.
Forehead treatment can lead to paralysis of the frontalis muscle in the forehead. Yes this muscle makes the forehead lines but it also helps elevate the eyebrows. Over treatment in the forehead will cause the eyebrows to fall and make the upper eyelids look unusually full. This can take many weeks to wear off.
What you are describing is likely brow ptosis [or droopiness]
Dr. Rueckl is on the right track. If you had injections performed around the eyes, then droopiness of the eyelid would be possible side effect.
However you describe your injections to be along the forehead. It would very unlikely for this to cause your eyelids to droop. However, it is quite likely that this will in effect lower your eyebrow position. Since the botox is weakening the frontalis muscle [forehead muscle] responsible for elevating the eyebrows, upon weakening, the eyebrows will droop.
Because the eyebrow is continuous with the eyelid, as it is lowered, it contributes to a "fuller appearing" eyelid which you may be confusing with swelling.
This will in fact improve. Unfortunately you will need to wait about 3 months to wear off. Alternatively, you can also selectively weaken the muscles that pull the eyebrow down to counteract the brow droop, but I wouldn't recommend "throwing good money after bad".
Wait for the botox to wear off, and then consider another more experienced injector for your next botox appointment. The amound of botox injected into the forehead needs to be subtle for this exact reason. Over treatment can cause an expressionless face and potential eyebrow droop.
Consider seeing your injector
Although unclear, what you are describing sounds like it could be ptosis. Ptosis is is a drooping or falling of the upper (or lower) eyelid from overinjection (or too low of an injection) with Botox or Dysport. Sometimes what I've heard people describe as "swelling" is actually this. Consider returning to your injector for evaluation. If it is ptosis there are prescription eyedrops that can help lift the lid back up; if it's something else, just know that Botox does eventually go away!
