10/30 round mags for a saiga .223
I was wondering if anyone knew where to get 10/30 mags for a saiga .223 here in California. Thanks
If you're talking about the US Palm 10/30 mags, here in NY we can only get them for 7.62x39. Not sure if they make them for any other caliber.
Any questions about AK mags please contact me.
I found a store that's 30 minutes away in Sacramento that sells nothing but magazines and firearm accessory and I bought four 30 round magazine "REPAIR KITS" for my Saiga .223. Thank you for the responses though.

A multipole expansion, based on spherical harmonics, provides an efficient method for calculating the field in the focal region of a lens for radially polarized illumination, or other illumination polarization and phase distributions, including vortex beams. The multipole approach also has the benefit of providing a simple measure of the purity of the longitudinal field mode. The method is also convenient for calculation of fields scattered by particles and calculation of optical trapping forces.

Canberra pitcher Brad Inglis was a promising Australian footballer before his softball-playing mum lured him along to the diamond, now the 18-year-old is preparing to join the famous Boston Red Sox organisation.
Inglis had offers from the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds, but opted to sign with the Red Sox because he is mates with Jon Deeble, who doubles as the Australian baseball coach and a Boston scout.
When his visa comes through, Inglis will fly to Fort Myers in Florida next month for spring training and expects to be stationed in the Gulf Coast League (rookie class).
Inglis said he had heard about why professional baseball was called "the grind" and was prepared for the hard work involved in making it to Major League Baseball.
"I'm prepared for it. They've said it's going to be hot and hard, so I'm looking forward to it, it's a new experience," he said.
"I don't care what I have to go through as long as I'm playing professional ball I'll give it my all."
If baseball can get a recall as a sport for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo then Inglis wants to be there.
Having started out with the Weston Creek Indians, he wants to work his way up to the pinnacle of the sport.
"Looking forward to 2020 to see if I can make that Olympic side, so that's a future goal, and then just work my way up to the Major Leagues," Inglis said.
Canberra Baseball player pathway manager Jeremy Barnes said Inglis has been impressive at the Australian nationals over the last few years with his ability to strikeout hitters.
Barnes said Inglis was a "big kid", roughly 1.93 metres tall, who threw about 138-141 kilometres per hour.
"He's a big kid with a lot of upside. I don't think he's reached his full potential yet by any means," Barnes said.
"He's known as a strikeout guy here in Australia ... it's a good opportunity for him to go over and develop, play baseball every day.
"I think with that body you just don't know what's in there until you get over there and give it a go."

Sharing similarities to the famous Staple colorway, the kicks feature a blend of grey color hues combined with the vibrant contrast of Nike's infrared colorway. Taking advantage of the endless material uses, La MJC completes his sneaker concoction with a medley of suede, mesh, and premium leather, keeping the shoes design subtle yet classic.

Citation: Shaner, D.L., Khosla, R., Helms, A., Boseley, B. 2009. Enhanced Atrazine Degradation: A Survey of Crop Fields in North-Eastern Colorado. Weed Science Society of America Annual Meeting - Abstracts. orlando Florida February 9-12, 2009 Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: When it comes to weed management, logically, farmers have a very low tolerance for weed infestations since it can cause significant damage to their crop yields. However, over application of pesticides for any infestation has a serious consequence. Recently, farmers in the north-eastern Colorado reported that atrazine was not giving the residual control as expected. This could be a cause of concern for many reasons because atrazine is widely used in Colorado for controlling many broadleaf and certain grass weeds in corn (Zea mays L.) and other crops. A survey was conducted in 2007-2008 to determine the extent of fields showing enhanced atrazine degradation. Soils were collected from several fields in various counties, such as Kit Carson, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Philips, Washington, Weld and Yuma counties. Soil samples were collected from the fields had been planted in maize, wheat or were fallow at the time of collection. Our soil analysis indicates that approximately 30% of the fields tested showed enhanced atrazine degradation. All of the fields with enhanced atrazine degradation had a history of atrazine use. Our survey findings suggest that atrazine degrades rapidly in fields in Colorado where the herbicide has been continuously used for 3 or more years. This rapid degradation leads to loss of residual weed control as reported by farmers.

Reading the Gazette front page last week was like déjà vu. During 2000-2003 Councillor Margaret Nolder (SDC and Glos' County) as Labour Leader of SDC tried to circumvent the Gloucester County strategic plan by placing 300 houses in Cam when the county had expressly set three levels of development - major conurbations i.e. Gloucester, Cheltenham - minor towns i.e. Stroud - and last option villages i.e. Cam.
With the aid of an objection by Gloucester County Council against Stroud District Council the rate payers of Cam mounted a campaign to overthrow this inept judgement with the second highest number of objections (450) in the county. Stroud District planning officers distanced themselves publically in the Gazette from the disgraceful, political and undemocratic manoeuvring being carried out by the SDC Labour party.
A strategic planning review for Gloucestershire was carried out by a UK Government Planning Inspector resulting in Cam housing being removed from plan, while Hunts Grove complied with all the government planning guidance under Town & Country planning law. This review was conducted by one of the country's most competent inspectors.
It is not enough for SDC Labour party ignoring Town and Country planning legislation now we have the Labour Party MP David Drew trying to overthrow the democratic process which cost the rate and taxpayer money and a great deal of local peoples time raising the documentation necessary to represent themselves in the process.
Where exactly are you going David, apart from going around in circles? Gordon Brown set his course on listening to the people to gain their trust. By your actions you are achieving the exact opposite. Who have you consulted in Cam apart from Parmjit Dhanda MP?
As for you always opposing Hunts Grove? I did not see you at the inspector's enquiry when I was representing the people of Cam with the Cam Against Ruining the Environment (CARE) group.
The Planning laws are in place, the people made representations, the Inspector made his judgement and everyone accepted the outcome. Four years after the decision you want to overthrow the democratic legal process?
Come on David Drew MP what sort of people's representative are you and what sort of political pressure will the new inspector be under to make a complete reversal of the legal process to suit Parmjit Dhanda and you?

- //Tori Amos
5 - 1
A song that could benefit from a backing track and Amos' patented brand of playing the Bosendorfer with her right hand and a Rhodes keyboard with the left. With her cover of David Bowie's "After All" on Strange Little Girls and the occasional glam influence of the Thin White Duke found on songs like From the Choirgirl Hotel's "She's Your Cocaine", it feels like the time is right for her to possibly explore yet another Bowie classic, this time one with a piano-heavy specificity that fits, pun-intended, hand in hand with the Amos oeuvre.
One of Amos' only true peers in terms of creativity, skill and raw talent, it is almost shocking that she has never covered one of PJ Harvey's tunes. Given her professed admiration for songs like "Beautiful Feeling", acknowledgement of Harvey's talent and career, a cover seems almost imminent, particularly since Amos has covered contemporaries such as Radiohead ("Karma Police") and Bjork ("Hyperballad", of which there is no known recording). Harvey must certainly be on Amos' covers radar.
Why this cover has not happened yet is a mystery given the lyric's affinity for shattered glass and broken hearts, both Amos staples. Also, with her predilection for the new wave hits of the 1980s such as A Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran", Blondie's "The Tide Is High" and Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" with specially-constructed backing tracks and two Eurythmics covers so far ("Sweet Dreams" and "Here Comes the Rain Again") it is a safe bet US audiences will be getting some kind of synth-heavy pop from this glittery decade. Not to mention, Amos famously sung about the "Me" decade on her 1999 album To Venus and Back with "Glory of the 80s" and recently covered Berlin's other mega-hit "Take My Breath Away" from Top Gun, beautifully.
After recently composing a successful musical, The Light Princess, and firmly immersing herself in this milieu, we're willing to bet Amos has her finger tuned to the pulse of contemporary musical theater. Given the phenomenal success of the current Broadway revival of John Cameron Mitchell's transgender punk rock passion play starring Neil Patrick Harris, this romantic song feels like a natural choice to cover when Amos plays a two-night stand in New York City August 12 and 13. A simple, gorgeously-written myth that would thematically stacked up against the glam pop of American Doll Posse, wigs and all! Obviously "Origin of Love", "Sugar Daddy" or "Wig in a Box" are all perfectly acceptable substitutes, but "Wicked Little Town" is the song from Hedwig's repertoire that feels most in line with Amos'.
There is a side of Amos that fans gleefully like to refer to as "Demon Tori". This side can be seen in performances of songs like "Blood Roses" and "Cruel" and would eventually be manifested in the character of "Pip" during the American Doll Posse era. This song by Iggy and the Stooges perfectly suits this harder-edged rock and roll aspects of Tori's musical persona, so much so it was rumored to have been considered for inclusion on her 2001 covers album Strange Little Girls, while the track "Heart of Gold", an interpretation of Neil Young's classic, instead showcases a striking Stooges influence. Amos told us earlier this year that her daughter's instructions to her, regarding this tour, were to "get out there and rock" and there is nothing more "rock" than Iggy and the Stooges.

Rome – A giant family sized fun-bucket of speciality Italian Fiefdom Fries has been delivered to the retired Pope's private quarters in Rome amid Vatican fears His Holiness might not make it past this Friday.
Treatment for blocked arteries has seen Pope Ratzinger confined for several months to a bleak vegan diet of lamb's lettuce and tofu crackers.
However the strict regime has left Papa Ratzi craving one last fast food binge-out as all the signs and portents on his natal astrology chart point to a major Summer Solstice faultline imploding.
"Blessed are the fast food delivery boys," the ex-Pontiff's PR said today, "for they shall get a damn good tip for concealing some secret garlic and chili dipping sauce for the Pope's Last Supper.
"Wanna see digitized final shots of the Papal aorta before the Sun enters the sign of Cancer on Friday?"

Online video is the latest rage on the Internet, and it is almost mind boggling how much of a household name YouTube has become. Some people, such as lonelygirl15, have become YouTube SuperStars. In fact, lonleygirl15 even appeared on the Jay Leno show!
That is just one side of what the video sharing sites are used for. Besides for personal use, many sites (especially DailyMotion) are becoming a hub for copyrighted video content. Ashley recently covered a site called PeekVid which brings television shows and movies into a central location so that they can easily be viewed. Alluc is another site similar in nature to PeekVid, and between those two sites you can surely find something good to watch.
So what can you do if you don't want to watch the videos while being connected to the Internet? Simple! You can download them and play them at your leisure. I'm going to give you a bunch of tips on how to get the videos onto your computer.
–Download a Video–
Downloading the videos that you want is probably just about the easiest part of the video process. There are so many tools out there to get the job done and they are so easy to find. Depending on what you're looking to do these three tools will get the job done fast:
- VideoDownloader – This is a Firefox extension that works with all kinds of sites and content. Not only can you download videos from YouTube, Google, MetaCafe, iFilm, and DailyMotion but it will also let you save MP3's and QuickTime videos that are embedded in sites. The list of sites that it supports is quite extensive so I'm not going to list them all here, but rest assured that this extension should get the job done.
- KeepVid – This is my personal favorite because it doesn't require you to install any extension or application to download the videos. You can simply enter a URL into the site or you can use the bookmarklet that they have available for even faster conversions.
- GrabYouTubes – I wanted to include this service because it will surely come in handy when downloading videos from the PeekVid service that I mentioned above. All you have to do is provide the URL to the PeekVid movie or TV show that you want and it will quickly provide download links for all of the parts listed on that page. This is a lot easier than retrieving the download links one at a time. For more information on how to use the GrabYouTubes read Ashley's post on PeekVid.
–Convert a Video–
If you didn't notice most of the videos that you will download will be in the file format FLV. This isn't something that most computers will recognize immediately and let you start playing, so you might want to convert it into a more recognizable format. Here are two ways that you can do the conversion:
- Online FLV Converter – This service is free and the great thing is that you don't have to install a single application on your computer to have it converte videos. It can take a FLV file and transform it into an AVI, MOV, MP4, or 3GP so that you can watch the video on just about any device. This service is primarily geared towards YouTube since it does allow you to directly enter in a YouTube URL, but you can also enter in the URL to a FLV file (found using one of the utilities mentioned above). After giving it that information the service will download the video from the site and re-encode it into the format that you want. I tried it out and on smaller files (1MB or so) it works great, but I also tried a 10MB file that ended up error out. So if you're trying to convert a large movie try the next solution.
- Super Video Converter – This video conversion utility is by far the most popular and happens to be one of the most CyberMarked articles on our site. This free application will let you convert a FLV file into a large array of other file formats, including AVI, MOV, iPod, Pocket PC, WMV, and PSP. It also allows you to customize various options so that the resulting video is exactly what you want.
–Play/Watch a Video–
You don't have to convert a video just to watch it, though. If you have the right tool you can actually watch the FLV file right on your PC bypassing the whole conversion process. I looked around for at least an hour trying to find a nice player that was not only simple but offered what I thought was some very necessary features. I wanted to be able to play from a file that I downloaded and most importantly I wanted a fullscreen mode. Actually, the most important thing was that the application be freeware that wasn't bloated with things that I didn't want to use, but the fullscreen mode was still a critical deciding factor.
The result that I came up with was nFLVPlayer (download mirror). The application takes just seconds to install and it is simple enough for anyone to understand. The configuration options are minimal so power users may not get much joy from it, but you can still adjust the brightness, contrast, and a few other things. This program definitely gets my stamp of approval!
Download nFLVPlayer from our mirror
Now you're going to be all set the next time that you want to take your videos with you on the go, which is great for those of us who don't have access to the Internet 24/7. There are so many tools out there that can replace any of the ones that I listed above, but I covered the ones that I had experience with. With that being said we want to hear what you're using to download, convert, and watch videos.

For the first time since he was implicated in the damning Manase report, Derek Naidoo has broke his silence, saying he had nothing to be stressed about.
"If I was corrupted or took one cent from a contractor it is one cent too many… I'm not worried," said Naidoo.
As deputy city manager: procurement and infrastructure, Naidoo was one of several top-ranking eThekwini officials implicated in the Manase report which emanated from a forensic probe into irregularities in the municipality's financial affairs.
However, Naidoo told The Mercury that he was "not stressed about Manase or any other report" because he had not committed any wrongdoing and had no intention of resigning.
"I'm not stressed, I'm not paid to stress… but that's Derek," he said.
However, he was stressed about Thursday's story in The Mercury which said that he was on his way out of the municipality.
"There is serious reputation damage to my person and the council… I'm asking in a humble way, can you please control your pen.
"My story is very simple: I have not quit council. I'm saying I've no intention of resigning from council. The whole world thinks I've quit," he complained.
He said following the report he had received "a thousand phone calls" and he now had to explain to his teenage children that "this is not what dad is about".
Naidoo said he had sacrificed his life, spent time on Robben Island as a political prisoner and lost his brother, Lenny, who was killed.
"All we care about is serving the people in the city," he said.
On Thursday, he demanded a front-page retraction from The Mercury article because he wanted everyone to know he had no intention of quitting.
However, the original article did not state that he had resigned.
Instead it stated that the municipality's executive committee had endorsed a decision to terminate Naidoo's month-to-month contract.
However, when exactly this will happen has not yet been decided.
Municipal manager S'bu Sithole is expected to meet officials implicated in the Manase report on Friday.
This includes Naidoo, head of housing Cogi Pather who has already tendered his resignation, city treasurer Krish Kumar and Jacquie Subban, head of the geographic information and policy unit. Subban is on indefinite sick leave.
Naidoo said that since the Manase report was released two months ago, neither he or any of the others implicated had been "favoured" with a copy of the report.
Sithole had promised to give them copies, but to date he had not even seen the abridged version which had been made public, nor been charged with any wrong-doing.
He said the matter was going through the "council processes".
Asked whether he felt that the municipality had betrayed him, Naidoo said: "I don't think the council has betrayed me. I think the press has."
The abridged version of the Manase report recommended that action be taken against Naidoo, for not complying with supply-chain management policies as well as failure to exercise due care and diligence in dealing with matters before the bid adjudication committee. - The Mercury

Shining Knight
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
|This article or section may be Overly British. Americans may not understand humour, only humor. Canadians and Australians may not understand anything at all. Don't change a thing to remedy this.
Shining Knight is some poor excuse by those anti-British bastards at DC Comics to rake in a little money from abroad, using the old knights because they think that new superheroes are too good for Great Britain, all because the British Empire lasted longer than the American Empire.
edit Origin
Initially designed as a cockney chimney sweep and singing shoe shining squire; Shining Knight was considered too racist for even the super friends. DC Comics have always believed that America is best and the rest of the world is worst. They've always hated the British because they know that they thought of better heroes in books that don't get insulted like their creations. In an effort to compete with this, Shining Knight was created and later became a spoof of British culture while using Knight Watchman of Big Bang Comics as a template.
edit Character History
Having failed as a Peasant, a Chav and a Milkman, Sir Justin decides to become a Knight instead, serving as a backup knight at Camelot, hence why he doesn't appear in Arthurian legend. He heads to Scotland and gets frozen in ice.
When America began to take over the British Empire after World War Two in it's bid to take over The World before the Soviet Union did, they enslaved the Scots and forced them to mine out the ice in the Highlands for ice-cubes. Shining Knight is among them, and becomes a reserve member for the Justice League. After that, he's never seen again because DC Comics want to make sure no British character ever takes the spotlight for one single issue.
edit Superpowers and Weakness
With his so-called "magical armour" (what a load of Yankee baloney!), Shining Knight is stronger than usual and can carry a three-ton sword without breaking his wrists. His major drawback is anything American. Being a Brit, any form of Americanisation (or for you Yanks, watching episodes of Friends, drinking a Budweiser or having a Stars-and-Stripes on every corner) can seriously affect his powers, which can only be cured by singing Land of Hope and Glory at the top of his voice.
edit Enemies
- America - Who enslaved him
- George W. Bush - Who colonised his homeland
- George Washington - Who placed America in chaos by breaking away from his true masters
- Steven Spielberg - Who blew War of the Worlds out of all proportion
- Batman - Who ripped off Sherlock Holmes
- Tom Cruise (This isn't anti-American, practically everyone hates this guy)
edit Notable Issues
None, as DC Comics is too American to see any significance of a British character and so hasn't used Shining Knight for anything worth mentioning on Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia or the BBC. In the 80's Alan Moore tried reinventing Shining Knight in a 12 issue run of illuminated manuscripts as a moonshiner with a Thompson sub machine gun sent back in time to King Arthurs court. Unfortunately the decision to have Augustinian monks pen each issue individually and gold gilding lead to production costs higher than the annual budgets of most third world nations, ultimately resulting in D.C.'s liquidation to Euro Disney.

Ramsey has sold a piece of surplus property.
By unanimous vote, the Ramsey City Council March 12 approved selling a 3.1-acre parcel, located at 178th Avenue and Vicuna Street, to nearby property owner David Pomroy for $42,000.
The city has owned the property since 1989, according to Patrick Brama, management analyst.
The 2011 and 2012 strategic planning process created an inventory of surplus city-owned land, he said.
After reviewing the city future development plans, this property, known as Windsorwoods, was not included in any plans and was declared surplus, Brama said.

The first thing that we need to talk about it is the definition of trance. A trance is an altered state of consciousness. What does that mean? Well if you think of any state that you are in now, when that state changes it is altered. So in many respects it's every state is an altered state from the state you were in just a moment ago.
The advantages of knowing how to go into a trance or induce a trance are infinite. Inside of trance states your learning abilities and perceptive abilities are enhanced. You are actually able to accelerate the learning process if you go into a mild trance.
Altered states are very easy to induce. The simplest trance induction is the pattern interrupt. Anytime you can interrupt a pattern that somebody else is in, they have to go inside their head and figure out where they were so that they can start at the point you interrupted them. If you think about this, you know that it's true.
Every time you speak you form the sentence in your mind first. Your mind does this quite quickly but it is rare that you deliver a full sentence before it is completely formed inside your mind. If I were to interrupt you in the middle of delivering the sentence you had already formed, your mind would go blank for moment. Inside of that blank space is a world of possibilities. While you are inside your head I can put anything I want in there.
The reason that I can do this without getting caught is that if you hear me, it will simply interrupt the process of finding where you were. In essence, it is a double interrupt.
If you don't believe me try this on a waitress. Waitresses are pre-programmed to say a certain phrase when they walk up to the table. Waitresses that have been waiting on tables for a long time are very programmed. If you interrupt them at any point with a question, you can watch their minds go blank.
If you are very aware and notice when the blank spot happens, you can anchor it. Then all you have to do is fire the anchor the next time you want to induce trance.
Bringing to the conscious mind awareness of something that is generally thought of as unconscious will bring about an altered state or trance state. If I would ask you right now, to think about how the spot between your toes feels, it would be something that you normally would never think of. If I would ask you to think about how your shirt feels on the middle of your back, that is also outside your conscious awareness. If I were to ask you think about exactly how this piece of paper feels in your hand, that is also outside your conscious awareness.
The key is to think about the things that people normally don't think about, and get them focused somewhere other than on their consciousness. As you watch them you'll notice that they will go inside their minds to find the information. When they do you can slide commands in.
The easiest trance induction is a 54321 method
1. Something you feel
2. Something you see
3. Something you hear
4. Something you feel
5. Command
Let me give you an example:
As you sit there in your chair and feel the weight of your body pressing down, you can look at this paper and notice the edges as your eyes scan these words. You might hear something in the room around you and feel the paper on your finger and relax.
1. Feel
2. See
3. Hear
4. Command
5. Command
You might notice the beat of your heart and see the colors of the room while listening to the sound my voice. See you can feel good about knowing that you're about to learn now.
This would be followed with two things that you notice and three commands. Then one thing that the notice and four commands. I think you get the idea.
This is also easiest method to do self-hypnosis.
My favorite way to get somebody into a trance state is to get deep rapport, alter my state and pull them in. When you have deep rapport you are, in essence, linked directly in to the unconscious mind. Wherever you go they will follow. I realize that at this point in the seminar that we have not learned deep rapport skills but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

Watchout for javascript!! I just translated in French some strings that appear in a javascript context and using an apostrophe would prevent the javascript code from executing. I suppose that the apostrophe should be escaped in some way (possibly by using '). I chose to use "'" (unicode x2019) instead. Someone with some knowledge of gettext and javascript should add a corresponding entry for this. Chtito 14:42, 2 Jan 2006 (GMT)
I strongly disagree with the merge proposal! The Localization page is for any average non-English speaking user (and hopefully will have soon several translations), while the Translating WordPress is for those willing to contribute AND are knowledgeable enough to make a translation. The "target audience" of the two pages (articles) is totally different.
(late signature) - oops, that was me
Moshu 16:57, 19 Dec 2004 (GMT)
I agree. This page's techy content will totally scare off any newbie seeing it. I would therefore _not_ merge it. :) -User TigerDE2 23:51, 18 Dec 2004 (GMT)
I figure this page is small enough, and the Localization page is small enough, that this page can easily be inserted into the Making a Translation section on Localization. I don't think, given the placement of the section on that page, that users will be intimidated by it. But failing that, if you really think it deserves its own page, it should at least: (a) be merged with Localizing WordPress, and (b) use the correct terminology: "Localizing WordPress".
(Moshu, remember to identify yourself when you leave a comment:
— morganiq 08:45, 19 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Okay, I must protest the removal of the
{{merge}} tag. Am I the only one who thinks keeping this separate from Localizing WordPress is ridiculous?
— morganiq 03:47, 22 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Alright, so we need two seperate pages:
Can we agree on that and work towards that?
Exactly, this is what I had in mind. One for international end-users on how to get a localization, and one for translators on how to create a localization. Both Localizing WordPress and Translating WordPress fall into the latter category.
— morganiq 10:07, 22 Dec 2004 (GMT)
I don't know who did it - and I am not even interested to find out, since I'm getting less and less interested in contributing anything... but you guys successfully messed up the two very different stuff: now we have 2 articles with titles like WordPress Localization and Localizing WordPress, and it seems nobody cares that one is for translators (see the comment above) and the other is for international end-users. Is there anybody out there who can give me a reasonable explanation why the word translation has been removed from the title of the article that deals with TRANSLATION and replaced with another one (localization/localizing) from an already existing article just to confuse the readers?
Moshu 19:22, 31 Dec 2004 (GMT)
I understand your frustration, much of which I feel, too. Maybe we should have two pages (and no more), one called "Using a Translation" and "Creating a Translation" - to remove any confusion. Codex is still in a pre-natal stage, so it is better to get these things down straight now, before it becomes well-entrenched in search engines and peoples' minds. We should be able to resolve this soon. Sorry for the confusion. Carthik 19:41, 31 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Despite the redirect muck, I still think they should be called "WordPress Localization" (for end-users) and "Localizing WordPress" (for translators). We should really do some serious redirect maintenance by making sure all pages are updated with the correct links and deleting the redirect pages. It would clear up Special:Allpages something drastic.
— morganiq 01:55, 1 Jan 2005 (GMT)
@ Moshu,
I hear your frustration. It's a bit of the nature of a wiki I think to go through stuff like this. Please hang in there with us and we'll get it figured out and make it work as a team. I appreciate your work and the work of everyone else very much. Codex has improved greatly in a very short time, and it's all due to you folks!
--NuclearMoose 02:26, 1 Jan 2005 (GMT)
Can anyone please explain what "BOMs" (Byte Order Markers) are? Thanks! :)
-- User TigerDE2 20:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
—morganiq 02:34, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Please, emphasize the importance of not hard-coding bits of English, especially where the lang files already specify the translation string. e.g. in passing arguments, use __('string_to_translate') not 'string_to_translate'. This will save ten-thousand users from having to dig into each template file hunting down the troublemakers and searching in the .PO file for a suitable equivalent (assuming they even know how!). Failing this, many average users will simply re-hardcode themes in their own language. That might be okay in some cases, but imagine having a theme switcher and a dozen half-hardcoded themes that have won prizes based on visual design but aren't so great when you switch languages. User A-giâu 07:04, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps calling the localization page something like "Install your own language" or something like that would be usefull to non-English speakers.
Another problem I am experiencing is that all of my installation messages revert to the English wereas the rest of the messages seem fine? What could be the problem? --User Renier Maritz 13:36, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Well I'm not sure this is the best place where to write this, but it has to do with Localization implementation and Wordpress so I'm writing anyway... There's a concept trouble with localized feeds in WP: it asks for get_the_time (or get_post_time in 1.5.1) when filling the pubDate element of RSS and the like. Well this leads to trouble with some newsreaders (bloglines just to say one) that cannot recognize formats different from numerical (as in 2005-05-14T12:00:05+0000) or English. I suggest modifying the RSS and Atom template in future releases. No idea what to do in the meanwhile though. I wrote more on the subject (also with the code fix) here: http://www.codewitch.org/archives/2005/05/wordpress_local.html
If anybody have an English translation for this link it will be very usefull:
After 5 or 6 mounth my translation of WP 22.214.171.124 (pt_BR) is done with poEdit .. its a lot of work to configure ando that link is the only one who bring-me ligth !
Other thing is the "\n\r" code : poEdit have problems with that code ... in this link they recomend replace "\r\n" to "\n" ... why not replece in all code of WP for translators ? ...and the themes have almost times ALL tags not for translation. e.g: "example text" __('example text')

Google's 'Hotel Finder' Preps for Travel Push
Google has launched "Hotel Finder," what the company is calling an "experiment" in finding the perfect hotel.
Users can enter a location, a check-in (and check-out) date, as well as specify the hotel by price and hotel class and rating.
Google also offers some novel tweaks, including the ability to search via a "shape," where users can outline the boundary range of the search area. In that regard, the new Google Hotel Finder looks quite similar to Yahoo's Sketch-A-Search, a technology that the company rolled out in 2010.
In some sense, Hotel Finder is a twist on Google's established Google Places, and perhaps a framework or complement for its ITA travel integration. And it's not even a beta, but an "experiment".
Google announced plans to buy ITA for $700 million in July 2010. The Boston-based software company specializes in organizing airline data like flight times, availability, and prices. Google said last year that the purchase will help Google produce new flight search tools intended to simplify the process of searching for flights, comparing options, and buying tickets. That acquisition was recently approved by the Justice Department.
In reality, though, Hotel Finder seems to be a novel way to promote Google's AdWords. After defining and reading the reviews that others have posted for hotels, users can click a drop-down "Book" menu, with listings from Travelocity, Expedia, and others. Each price, though, is listed as an ad - although, put another way, other referral sites most likely offer a percentage of revenue for the referral as well.
PCMag.com has rounded up the best travel sites. With Hotel Finder, I'd cross-check Google's findings against TripAdvisor, whose candid, crowd-sourced reviews greatly outweigh the reach of what Google's own reviewers have added.

The non-profit organization that cares for 233 miles of snowmobile trails in Sherburne County has lost two of its most valuable tools.
The Sherburne County Trail Association's pole shed, located in the 17100 block of 262nd Avenue in Orrock Township, burned March 17, claiming two groomers including a 2011 John Deere that was purchased just before Christmas by the organization.
That machine cost $180,000. The other, a 2005 Tucker Sno Cat trail groomer, is believed to be worth $140,000. A third groomer, which was scheduled to be returned to the shed on the day of the fire, was spared.
"We had some pretty teary-eyed members," said Mike Lanegran, the president of the trail association. "My wife was one of them. The pictures just don't do it justice."
Lanegran says what was lost is something the trail association has built up over the last 35 to 40 years.
The Sherburne County Trail Association, which has board members from three snowmobiling clubs within the county, owns the land where the trail shed was located.
The building, which has been expanded over the years to meet the group's growing needs, has been paid for, too, Lanegran said.
The once-shiny new 7330 John Deere with Soucy tracks and blade, that was shown off on group's Facebook page in a December 2010 post, has not been paid for yet.
As the group awaits word as to the cause of the fire, it is assembling a list of its losses from its shop, classroom area and storage.
"We will rebuild," Lanegran told the Star News.
The Sherburne County Trail Association has five representatives from each of three snowmobiling clubs, including the River City Riders out of Elk River, the Elk Lake Easy Riders and the Big Lake Sno-Cruisers.

Fire took 35,000 gallons to put out
The Zimmerman/Livonia Fire Department with the help of mutual aid put between 35,000 and 40,000 gallons of water on the St. Patrick's Day fire.
The department was dispatched to the fire at 11:58 a.m. on Thursday, March 17. The building was fully involved with fire with the exception of the classroom area, according to Chief Ryan Maloney.
There were reports of two small explosions in the area about an hour before a neighbor saw smoke and called 911 to report the fire.
By the time the fire department arrived, nearly half of the roof was already collapsing, Lanegran said.
The Zimmerman/Livonia Fire Department was assisted by the Big Lake Fire Department, Elk River Fire Department and the Northeastern Sherburne County Fire Department.
No one was present in the building at the time of the fire and the gate to the property had been closed and locked prior to the fire starting.
The fire remains under investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office.

As the weather changes and the season turns, spring healthcare and herd management makes reappearance. Vaccinations and deworming should play a key part in managing animals that are moved into a herd, are pre-calving, and are being processed in other similar scenarios (such as during pregnancy evaluations, calf processing, or deworming).

A likely cause of her symptoms is neuropathy. A nerve conduction test would be beneficial. I recommend she see a neurologist or physical medicine and rehab doctor regarding this for the can perform the test. Causes of this can be from vitamin b12 deficiency (which appears that she is being treated for), thyroid disease (again she is being treating for with synthroid), diabetes, autoimmune disorders. Treatment will depend on the exact cause.
If you have any further questions please ask. Otherwise please click accept.
What would be preferred a neurologist or physical medicine and rehab doctor?
Both types of specialist are well versed in this. One is not better than the other.
Why does this occur only at these times and not during the day?
It can be due to use during the day causing inflammation or swelling at night leading to these symptoms
If she does the nerve conduction test can the problem be solved??????????
With the nerve conduction study, a diagnosis can be made. Depending on what the diagnosis is, treatment can relieve symptoms
Anything else you can add and thank you
I think that is where you need to begin in order to find the exact cause of those symptoms
You are welcome.

Charges Dropped Against May Day Protestor Maria Jannett Morales
After reviewing YouTube video of the May Day riot, King County prosecutors dismissed all charges against a protestor accused of punching a bike cop.
Maria Jannett Morales, 30, was charged with assault in the fourth degree, a felony, for an incident that occurred near the intersection of First Avenue and Pike Street a few minutes before 6 p.m. on May 1, just as the day's rioting was starting to simmer down.
SPD's version of events was called into question by amateur video from the scene uploaded to YouTube. The footage seems to show Morales walking past Fry, obeying orders. Then, after a brief verbal exchange, Fry grabs Morales by the shoulders and hair and pulls her down.
Maria Jannett Morales: May Day Protestor Charged With Assaulting Cop Proven Innocent By YouTube Video, Attorney Says
One May Day protester charged with assaulting a police officer has already been exonerated after video footage contradicting SPD's version of events surfaced. Now the attorney for a second claims the cops have once again been caught on camera embellishing the facts.
SPD detective J.D. Mudd's probable cause statement reads: "Morales got right up to Officer Fry and said, 'Okay bitch,' then punched Officer Fry in the chest with a closed fist. Officer Fry grabbed Morales with the intent of placing her under arrest." Morales is also accused of kicking another cop in the leg as she struggled to get free of Fry.
In the video, Shouting makes it difficult to decipher the entire dialogue, but Fry can be heard barking orders to "Move back!" with Morales responding, "We are moving back!" Morales shuffles to her right, and Fry grabs her by the shoulders and hair, pulling her down on top of the police bikes. The videographer is then forced to move down the street, away from the action.

Artistamps are miniatures, owing to their size, but
they aren't "miniatures" in the traditional sense because they
are infact smaller and often not one of a kind, although they can be.
Artistamps are often stickers. We stick them. They come
with dry adhesive or in crack and peel format, or we add glue by hand to
make it stick. As such, they are stickers. But they aren't stickers, because,
although they are stuck, their form, symbols and meaning set them into another
Artistamps are stamps: they are intended to be "like"
postage stamps in form, symbol and meaning. But they aren't postage stamps
because no "macro-nation", to borrow a term from the world of
imaginary countries, accepts them as legal, which is okay since most of
us don't want them to be accepted as such.
Artistamps are cindarellas [philatilest term for non-postage
stamp stamps]. But they aren't cindarellas, because, I believe, for most
of their creators they are a form of artistic expression AND are intended
to be seen as postage stamp like, not sticker like.
But by discussing them this way I've made some assumptions
about what "artistamps" are: I've assumed they are small and that
they stick and that they are like postage stamps...
And some of us were making artistamps before we'd even
heard of artistamps, so were those early works REALLY "artistamps"?
What I'm coming to is that to define them, to know them
when we see them, we have to have guidelines, or "rules" to distinguish
them from other little pieces of art or creativity. So when we discuss artistamps
on this board, we all have bought into a certain set of rules that define
what artistamps are. We may not all agree on every single rule which is
to be included, but there is agreement....
Artistamps are:
generally small, usually postage stamp sized like governmental
postage stamps in form, more or less according to the designer's whim/intent
often stick, but not always are created as singles to be stuck, or are created
as sheets to be admired can be considered art, or play can be any 2d medium
can be one of a kind, or a limited edition can be perforated, or not ultimately,
each of us has determined for ourselves what an artistamp is based on our
observations of the artistamps of others and real postage stamps AND have
gone on to break certain "rules" that didn't suit our particular
expression/media/desire at the time.
We also redefine what an artistamp is every time we
sit down to make one. And it is this glorious diversity in stamps from within
our own oeuvres and from artist to artist that keep me coming back to artistamps
as an artistic/creative challenge.
David Locicero from the AML group
"Thousands of people all over the world are using stamps as a form
of creative expression"says Ed Higgins, III, a New York artist who
has made 380 different issues of Doo Da Post ,stamps bearing everything
from whirling dervishes to dancing tomatoes.

On this week's episode of Talking Radical Radio, I talk with organizer Yolen Bollo-Kamara about her experience in Toronto with the wave of organizing that has been sweeping North America in opposition to police violence and anti-Black racism.
It should be entirely uncontroversial to assert that, in fact, Black lives matter. But there are 500 years of globally dominant societies behaving as if they do not matter. And notwithstanding what many white people in contemporary Canada might claim, it's not a problem that can be dismissed as "of the past" or "just the US" -- it's a problem here, a problem now.
On August 9, 2014, a white police officer killed unarmed Black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Misouri. It's a tragically common occurence, happening once every 28 hours in the United States according to an oft cited statistic. But thanks to the tireless dedication of mostly young Black organizers in Ferguson, this time non-Black North America has been unable to forget and ignore. And in late November when a grand jury decided not to indict Brown's killer, protests erupted across the continent and around the world. Though these protests certainly seek the kind of accountability that would show that Brown's life mattered in that specific case, they have also set their sights much more broadly or ending racist police violence in their cities and creating all of the other the kinds of change that flow from an insistence that Black lives matter.
Yolen Bollo-Kamara is a member of the collective of organizers that that came together in Toronto under the banner of "Black Lives Matter." A student activist and president of the undergraduate student union at University of Toronto, she is very clear that the actions they have organized are not just a response to events in the United States but to the very similar realities that comprise Black experience in Canada. She talks with me about the organizing, the broader context, and the kinds of changes that need to happen in Toronto, in Canada, and globally. And please note that we spoke the day before the most recent major Black Lives Matter action in Toronto.
To learn more about the Black Lives Matter collective in Toronto, you can follow them on Facebook or Twitter.
Talking Radical Radio brings you grassroots voices from across Canada. We give you the chance to hear many different people that are facing many different struggles talk about what they do, why they do it, and how they do it, in the belief that such listening is a crucial step in strengthening all of our efforts to change the world. To learn more about the show in general, visit its website here. You can learn about suggesting topics for future shows here.
Talking Radical Radio is brought to you by Scott Neigh, a writer, media producer, and activist based in Sudbury, Ontario, and the author of two books examining Canadian history through the stories of activists.

Roasted Butternut Squash
This is the second time I have thought I should write a book called, My Romance with Squash. Each time, I bring home a new squash, I fall in love again. I have had a crush on Butternut Squash for many years and this dish may have been the fulfillment of my dreams, easy to make and just right to eat with a slight sweetness that gives it charm.
Roasted Butternut Squash
2 medium sized butternut squash
2 large sweet potatoes
1 - 3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of honey
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce mixed with the honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place parchment paper on large cookie sheet.
Cut butternut squash and sweet potatoes into cubes about one half inch in size.
In a bowl, mix together the oil, honey, cayenne and cubes. Make sure, all the cubes are coated.
Spread the cubes of squash and sweet potatoes on parchment covered pans.
Bake for 1 hour or until the cubes are soft enough to eat.
Pour off the sheet onto a serving plate or bowl and serve. If you want to add your favorite spice, go with it.
Eat and enjoy.

This story originally appeared in The Washington Post, and was written by Kevin Sieff
(Washington Post) KABUL - The United States has for several years been secretly releasing high-level detainees from a military prison in Afghanistan as part of negotiations with insurgent groups, a bold effort to quell violence but one that U.S. officials acknowledge poses substantial risks.
As the United States has unsuccessfully pursued a peace deal with the Taliban, the "strategic release" program has quietly served as a live diplomatic channel, allowing American officials to use prisoners as bargaining chips in restive provinces where military power has reached its limits.
But the releases are an inherent gamble: The freed detainees are often notorious fighters who would not be released under the traditional legal system for military prisoners in Afghanistan. They must promise to give up violence -- and U.S. officials warn them that if they are caught attacking American troops, they will be detained once again.
There are no absolute guarantees, however, and officials would not say whether those who have been released under the program have later returned to attack U.S. and Afghan forces once again.
"Everyone agrees they are guilty of what they have done and should remain in detention. Everyone agrees that these are bad guys. But the benefits outweigh the risks," said one U.S. official who, like others, discussed the issue on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the program.Long slog ahead in 9/11 trial at Guantanamo Bay
Military commanders warned to get troops in line
Obama, Karzai ink partnership deal
The releases have come amid broader efforts to end the decade-long war through negotiation, which is a central feature of the Obama administration's strategy for leaving Afghanistan. Those efforts, however, have yielded little to no progress in recent years. In part, they have been stymied by the unwillingness of the United States to release five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay -- a gesture that insurgent leaders have said they see as a precondition for peace talks.
Unlike at Guantanamo, releasing prisoners from the Parwan detention center, the only American military prison in Afghanistan, does not require congressional approval and can be done clandestinely. And although official negotiations with top insurgent leaders are seen by many as an endgame for the war, which has claimed nearly 2,000 U.S. lives, the strategic release program has a less ambitious goal: to quell violence in concentrated areas where NATO is unable to ensure security, particularly as troops continue to withdraw. The releases are intended to produce tactical gains but are not considered part of a grand bargain with the Taliban.
U.S. officials would not say how many detainees have been released under the program, though they said such cases are relatively rare. The program has existed for several years, but officials would not confirm exactly when it was established.
The process begins with conversations between U.S. military officials and insurgent commanders or local elders, who promise that violence will decrease in their district -- or that militants will cease fighting altogether -- if certain insurgents are released from Parwan. The value of the tradeoff and the sincerity of the guarantee are then weighed by senior military officials in Kabul, officials said.
"The Afghans have come to us with information that might strengthen the reconciliation process," U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker said. "Many times we do act on it."
The insurgents released through the secret program are the only detainees at Parwan who are able to circumvent the prison's judicial review board. Their release is instead approved directly by the United States' top commander and top military lawyer in Afghanistan, U.S. officials said. One official described the process as being "outside of our normal protocol."
As opposed to the formal NATO-sponsored reintegration program, which forces militants to sever ties with the insurgency, the strategic release program does not require detainees to formally disavow their relationship to the Taliban, Hezb-i-Islami or other insurgent groups. In some cases, detainees are expected to maintain those connections and use them to further peace-building efforts between the Americans and the insurgents.
"We look at detainees who have influence over other insurgents -- individuals whose release could have a calming effect in an entire area," one U.S. official said. "In those cases, the benefits of release could outweigh the reasons for keeping him detained."
When the insurgency appears to be gathering steam in certain provinces, for instance, prisoners have been released to alleviate mounting tension.

{Attorney General Press Release Header}
December 9, 2013
Statement from Attorney General Jepsen on Opening of Settlement
Negotiations, Withdrawal of SCOTUS Petition in SEBAC Case
Attorney General George Jepsen today issued the following statement on the decision to withdraw without prejudice the states petition for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition v. Rowland following SEBACs request to open settlement negotiations:
The decision to suspend our request for Supreme Court review in order to engage in settlement discussions is not one made lightly, but is made with the best interest of Connecticut taxpayers squarely in mind. I have conferred with Governor Malloy, and he fully supports this step and agrees that it is in the best interests of the state.
In the ten years since this case was filed, no substantive discussions seeking a resolution to this case have ever occurred. After the filing of our petition for certiorari, the unions have come forward proposing to negotiate a settlement. In withdrawing the petition without prejudice at this time, the state reserves the right to file our petition again should those negotiations not bear fruit. To be clear: We can and will file a petition for certiorari at a later stage if necessary, raising the same issues and perhaps others with equal force.
Withdrawal of the petition is a necessary condition for meaningful negotiations to take place. As a practical matter, given the complexity of this case and the other pending related cases, these discussions simply cannot be completed in the time before the Supreme Court would rule upon our petition. At the same time, any such decision by the court on the petition before negotiations are completed would dramatically alter the parties bargaining positions and impede productive discussions by removing the uncertainty that hangs over both parties today.
Since taking office, I have made it a priority of my administration to allow all parties regardless of the circumstances an opportunity to solve problems through frank and fair discussions. This matter is no different. I believe any responsible attorney confronted with similar circumstances be it in a public or private lawsuit would advise their client to explore settlement. Indeed, given the potential fiscal stakes involved here, it would be particularly irresponsible not to explore the possibility of an equitable resolution.
Both SEBAC and the state recognize the uncertainty we each face in this case. It is widely known that the Supreme Court rejects the overwhelming majority of petitions for certiorari, but I believe the unions also recognize that our petition is unusually strong.
Justified or not, these lay-offs undeniably burdened thousands of families, all of whom have been living without resolution for more than a decade. Continued uncertainty benefits no one, and both the unions and the state acknowledge the very real potential of many more years of expensive litigation if the case does not settle. My hope is that these circumstances and mutual uncertainties will be uniquely conducive to productive discussions. I caution, however, that the unions settlement expectations must be reasonable and must take into account the fiscal pressures under which the state continues to struggle.
I am confident that the petition has brought the unions to the table under circumstances favorable to reasonable discussions, and Im prepared to meet them there in good faith. Should a resolution not prove possible, however, Connecticut taxpayers can rest assured that I will act accordingly with their best interests in mind, as I feel is my ethical responsibility as their Attorney General.

Whitehall apartment complex sold to New York company
A longtime family-owned Whitehall Borough apartment complex was sold for $11.75 million to a New York-based company, records show.
The Maiden Bridge and Canongate apartments, located off Weyman Road in Whitehall, were sold at the end of last month by members of the Caste family — included under the name Maiden Bridge LP — to Pittsford, New York-based Morgan Communities, under the name Morgan Maiden Bridge LLC.
Representatives from Morgan Communities and Caste Commercial Real Estate did not return multiple calls seeking comment.
A deed recorded in the Allegheny County Department of Real Estate shows the property sale was finalized on Dec. 27. Four parcels of land were sold, including the Maiden Bridge and Canongate apartments and vacant land on Lawnview Drive in Whitehall, documents show.
Longtime owners of the complex included the Maiden Bridge Limited Partnership, formed in 1972 under the name Brightview Joint Venture. Others listed on the deed included the Estate of Mary Danielson, the Estate of Philomena Teodori and members of the Caste family.
The Caste family owns and manages the Caste Village Shopping Center and other properties in the area.

Engagement Ring Spinoff

Looking through the responses on the other topic about engagement rings, I was just wondering, how many of you have coloured stones? I have a pink sapphire surrounded by white diamonds, I love it, but I'm sometimes asked if it's real, or if I feel like I missed out on a "proper" engagement ring. They act like since it's not all diamond, it doesn't count. Did anyone else get this?
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:54 PM
Sounds pretty.
I have diamonds, I'm boring. My mother has a beautiful aquamarine engagemet ring and I love it. I think some of her friends thought it a peculiar choice given she got to choose it herself, but it's what she wanted
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:55 PM
I purposely did not want a diamond.
I have a lovely large yellow citrine engagement ring - suits my skin colour.
I get lots of compliments but there were a couple of 'friends' I could tell thought their rings were superior because they were diamonds.
I love coloured gemstones.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:55 PM
I have a pink sapphire too and love it. I was never interested in having a big diamond and would have been peeved if DH ignored my preferences and got one.
People have only ever been complimentary about my ring.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 05:56 PM
Forgot to mention...I also have my mother's engagement ring which is a stunning oval black onyx surrounded in gold.
Really stunning!
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:00 PM
Mine is a champagne diamond so I got exactly what I wanted-colour but still a diamond.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:05 PM
Mine is an emerald - my all time favourite stone.
The only issue I had was the politics of mined gems, particularly emeralds and diamonds, so we chose old, old stones which I had re-set.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:09 PM
Mine is only diamonds.
But my mums is rubies and diamonds and my best friend's is sapphire main stone with smaller sapphires and diamonds.
They're both beautiful rings.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:13 PM
Mine too is a (real) pink sapphire surrounded by diamonds too. I love it.
Looks like this, not exact, but close enough lol.
ETA: Yeah i get people feeling "sorry" for me because 'they got a diamond' but i don't give a crap. My ring is gorgeous, it's me all over and i adore it.
Edited by WhatWouldBuffyDo, 16 November 2012 - 06:15 PM.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:16 PM
I have a ruby (oval) with a smaller diamond on each side. I love it. We both prefer coloured stones.
I do however have a diamond eternity ring on the other hand I got for my 10th wedding anniversary.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:16 PM
I also have just diamonds... but mainly because I was worried that a colour wouldn't 'go' with everything I was wearing and I wanted to be able to wear it all the time.
I was very interested in having a champagne or yellow diamond, but my DH didn't like either (and at the time, none of the places we went to had any nice ones!)
I would LOVE to see pics of all these coloured stone though, they sound fabulous!
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:17 PM
I wanted a coloured stone.
But it was DH's nan's and diamonds. So I like it for the sentiment. If I ever had to, heaven forbid, replace the main stone, though, I would probably pick something green. Green amethyst or peridot or emerald?
Diamonds aren't my favourite thing but his nan accepted all the intermarriage baggage really sweetly and gracefully and gave us the ring herself so I love it for that.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:19 PM
We went with a peach sapphire. Part of the reason I love it is that unless they ask, people struggle to know if it's a sizeable cognac diamond or something else. All the cachet of a deposit-on-a-large-house ring with none of the actual expense
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:20 PM
I love coloured stones. I got diamonds though as a friend was a diamond setter at the time & got a great price on the stones. My mum had a green sapphire surrounded by diamonds, it was lovely.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:27 PM
I have a blue sapphire - I love it!
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:30 PM
Garnet here, surrounded by small diamonds. I much prefer it to a central diamond, and find that because garnet is quite a deep red it doesn't clash with any outfits, as per pp's concern.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:32 PM
Have never encountered a diamond snob. My ring is a sapphire with 6 small diamonds.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:36 PM
It doesn't seem that uncommon then! Thanks everyone. I do get compliments for it but it's the pity that frustrates me, and people asking if it's a dress ring. Engagement rings haven't always been diamonds, and I bet no one ever asked Princess Diana or Kate Middleton if they're sad they didn't get a proper ring... Anyway. This is my ring and I love it.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:39 PM
DH asked me before he proposed if i minded if the ring wasnt a diamond. I said i didnt mind and i meant it. Some gems are much more stunning. In the end he proposed with a CZ ring and i had to tactfully ask that we go get something else. We ended up choosing a diamond but only because i fell for the setting and anything else i would of had to wait to get it made.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:44 PM
I don't know how to quote, but julia*v I'd like to see photos too! They all sound gorgeous. I'd like an emerald one if I didn't have a pink sapphire. I don't know how to put a photo up either but if I figure it out, I will put mine up.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:51 PM
QUOTE (Jenflea @ 16/11/2012, 05:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I have a ruby (oval) with a smaller diamond on each side. I love it.
Ooooooooh this is what mine is too and I also LOVE mine. My ruby is ummmm well quite dark red and big so there is no mistaking it is an engagement ring. So, no never negative comments, quite the opposite. It is a beautiful ring, my DH chose it himself and it is without a doubt my favourite belonging (except maybe my kids but some days i am not so sure ).
I think it might be a conflict stone though as it is from Burma.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:56 PM
I have a diamond. I like simple jewellery and a single beautiful high quality simply cut diamand is exactly my style. It's just over 1carat so not blingy at all - just beautiful.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 06:56 PM
Ooh, I'm not sure where my ruby came from. The store we bought it from closed just after we bought it after 40 years of trading, so I can't ask now where they source from.
I have been told it's a good cut and colour for a ruby and the price we paid for it.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 07:01 PM
I have a pink diamond. I love pink things!
Now I just need a set of pink diamond earrings and I will be all done for jewellery....watch out gold lotto here I come.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 07:08 PM
Maybe this will work...
Ohh a ruby that would be beautiful. It's nice reading all the variety. Pink diamond wow haha good luck in the lotto.

Krisann Kleibacker Lee (R), of counsel at Faegre & Benson, working with a client.
Cargill Inc., a business devoted to providing sustenance and energy products and services to people worldwide, places significant emphasis on giving back to the communities it serves. But finding the right pro bono project for the company's legal department was a challenge.
In its search for a pro bono program last year, Cargill faced numerous impediments. Not only are the company's offices miles from the downtown Minneapolis courthouses, but its lawyers all tend to have specialized practice areas related to food and energy commodities, which don't immediately translate to pro bono work. However, thanks to Mike Skoglund, a senior lawyer at Cargill, the legal department found its solution after approaching one of Cargill's preferred law firms, Faegre & Benson.
With Faegre's help, Skoglund got his team involved with the Hennepin County Housing Court Project (HCP), which offers low-income tenants free, walk-in legal advice and, in some matters, full representation. The majority of clients seek advice and assistance with cases that are scheduled for hearing that day, typically dealing with eviction defense, notices to quit, lease violations, repair problems, emergency repairs, lockouts and housing records expungement.
Skoglund, who coordinates Cargill's involvement in the HCP, manages a group of about 15 lawyers and six paralegals who volunteer regularly. The housing court is open Monday mornings, so volunteers typically only have a small commitment every two months, which Skoglund says is manageable for the lawyers because they never have to take on full-representation cases. Most days, lawyers from both Faegre and Cargill attend the housing court along with paralegals from either firm. "Depending on the workload, we'll either collaborate when we give advice to a client, or if it's really busy, we'll divide and conquer," Skoglund explains.
While Cargill and its legal department also regularly work with United Way, Habitat for Humanity and numerous food organizations, Skoglund says he believes the HCP clinic has truly helped the legal department to expand its horizons, and has provided valuable experience for lawyers to appear in court and interact with clients with whom they normally would never work.
"As lawyers, we have an ethical obligation to do pro bono work where we can," Skoglund says. "The clinic has been a great opportunity to do that and to learn about an area of law with which I'd never had any experience."
The experience the legal department gains from working in the housing court is as valuable to Skoglund as the services it renders to the community. In a recent case, one of Cargill's intellectual property lawyers—who had never been in court before—received a client who had been served an eviction notice. After the initial consultation, the attorney realized that there was a defense to the eviction, and she appeared in court on his behalf, argued the motion to dismiss the eviction and won. "It was a great result for the client, but it also was a really good opportunity for our lawyers," Skoglund says.
