Military council approves political isolation law as deadly Cairo clashes enter a third day [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male #1
In one of the most prominent developments in Egypt, the Supreme Military Council issued a decree banning those who "corrupted political life" from participating in politics.
In this context, revolutionary parties in Egypt demanded to sack the Prime Minister Essam Sharaf's government and form a government of national salvation amid continuous protests and violent confrontations between protestors and security forces in Tahrir Square, which have killed 33 people. On the other hand, revolutionary parties called for a million-man march tomorrow under the slogan "million-people march for national salvation." Meanwhile, Egypt's public prosecutor released 64 people who were arrested during clashes. As mentioned earlier, Egyptian medical sources said 33 people were killed in the clashes in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo and several other provinces, which began last Friday between protestors and security forces. For his part, the assistant commander of the central military zone, Major-General Saeed Abbas, reiterated in a press conference the Military Council's commitment to the political roadmap leading to a power transfer and an elected civil government.

Tahrir Square in Cairo is living a new day of chaos. Confrontations were renewed between protestors and the army and police forces for a third consecutive day. The square appeared to be a restive war zone, and its effects extended to surrounding buildings. The protestors blamed the interior ministry after a number of casualties occurred. The protestors' demands seemed to be clearer this time.
Guest, Male #3 (Islam Lutfi, Member of the Youth of the Revolution Coalition)
We demand the immediate resignation of Essam Sharaf's government, and the swift and fair trials of anyone who has Egyptian blood on their hands, or incited the bloodshed. We demand Interior Minister Mansour el-Essawy, the director of the general security, and the director of the national security be held legally accountable, as well as anyone who is directly or indirectly involved in causing the bloodshed of Egyptians.
Reporter, Male #2
Resentment for the Military Council appeared to be the common factor that angered the protestors.
Guest, Male #4 (Mahmoud Afifi, Spokesman for April Movement)
The youth of the revolution alone are facing the security forces, confronting tear-gas, rubber bullets, and live bullets. Therefore, we hold the Military Council responsible for the revolutionary martyrs' death and the situation which has intensified immensely.
Reporter, Male #2
In turn, the Military Council held a brief press conference, affirming its commitment to the transfer of power to an elected civilian administration.
Guest, Male #5 (Major-General Saeed Abbas, Assistant Commander of the Central Military Zone)
The next step is to fully implement the political roadmap laid out by the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces with all of its details, and the results should be announced by an appropriate institution, be it an elected parliament, Shura Council, or a committee to oversee the constitutional process.
Reporter, Male #2
So even if the protestors and the Military Council restore their trust, it appears that the situation in Egypt still faces many possibilities.
Bahrain admits to using 'excessive force' against protestors [Press TV, Iran]
And now to Bahrain, where authorities have concede the use of 'excessive force' against anti-regime protestors this after international rights groups and activists lashed out at Manama for an iron fisted response to protests. The government also admitted in a statement that detainees have been mistreated. This statement comes two days ahead of a report by an inquiry panel commissioned by King Hamad to probe misconduct during the crackdown between February and March.
Thousands of Saudis protest government killing of teenage boy [Press TV, Iran]
Now to Saudi Arabia, where thousands of protestors have taken to the streets condemning the government's killing of a teenage boy. Saudis in the oil-rich Eastern Province are mourning the death of 19-year-old Nasser al-Mheishi. He was killed on Sunday night by Saudi regime forces while walking along with a group of friends in the town of Qatif. Security forces have injured and arrested dozens of people in the past few days. Tensions have been high after Riyadh decided to escalate its troop presence.
Hezbollah captures CIA spy in Lebanon [Press TV, Iran]
The US Central Intelligence Agency has faced a debacle in Lebanon. Hezbollah has burst several US spy rings arresting a number of American spies. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised address back in June that his movement had identified and captured at least two CIA spies who had infiltrated its ranks. In recent months, CIA officials have been secretly trying to protect their remaining spies in Lebanon before Hezbollah could find them. Tel Aviv has also not fared any better in the espionage matters. Dozens of Israeli spies were arrested by Hezbollah back in June.
Syrian troops attack Turkish buses [Future TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Male #1
In the latest developments of the Syrian revolution, the death toll has risen to 18. The Syrian Local Coordination Committees said that 14 people were killed in Homs, three in Hama's countryside, and one in Riqa by the gunfire of Assad's brigades. In conjunction, the Syrian opposition organized demonstrations on a Tuesday dubbed the "day of freedom for Yaman al-Qaderi," who has been detained by the regime since November 3. Meanwhile, the Turkish foreign ministry announced that two of its citizens were wounded in an attack on a bus carrying Turkish visitors in Syria.
Reporter, Male #2
The bloody scene has become part of daily life across Syrian cities and towns, which have been witnessing anti-regime demonstrations for over eight months. The Local Coordination Committees announced that various neighborhoods in the city of Homs are witnessing random raids and acts of violence by security forces. The Committees added that several people were killed in Homs and several others were killed in the town of Karnaz near Hama. They further said that military operations are being carried out in the areas of Idlib, Daraa, Hasaka, Hama, and other regions. Demonstrations erupted across various Syrian cities and towns demanding the downfall of the regime and the departure of President Bashar al-Assad. The Syrian opposition organized demonstrations on a Tuesday dubbed the "day of freedom for Yaman al-Qaderi," who has been detained by the regime since November 3. The strained relationship between Syria and Turkey has taken a turn for the worse following a security breach that dominated the unfolding events in Syria. Turkish media sources reported that Syrian troops opened fire at a Turkish bus carrying Turkish visitors near a checkpoint along the Syrian border in the north, inflicting causalities among the passengers. The passengers said that eight Syrian troops intercepted the convoy and ordered them off the bus near a checkpoint before indiscriminately opening fire at them.
Guest, Male #3
They were hiding. They were soldiers and not civilians. One of the troops told me "come over, come over." He wanted me to get closer but I refused. He pointed his gun at me and ordered me to raise my hands. I yelled for everyone to run away, and we all ran away. Then they started firing at our backs. God saved us.
Reporter, Male #2
Opposition websites released footage of the damaged busses near the Bab al-Hawa border crossing, adding that the incident triggered a Turkish security alert at the border.

Saudi Arabia stressed the importance of providing protection to Syrian civilians and ending all acts of killing and violence. Following its weekly session presided by Crown Prince Nayef Ben Abdel Aziz, the Saudi council of ministers called on the Syrian government to fully implement its pledges towards the Arab action plan to resolve the crisis in Syria. The council also hailed the efforts by the Arab League regarding the situation in Syria.
Presenter, Male #1
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Syrian President Bashar Assad's days in power are numbered. Meanwhile, the Russian foreign minister accused the West of adopting a quote "provocative behavior" in the Syrian crisis.
Saudi Arabia seeks to find a tribal solution for crisis in Yemen [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female #1
Massive protests erupted in the streets of the Yemeni capital Sanaa, condemning the air and artillery shelling of the city of Arhab by forces loyal to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Thousands of protestors took to the streets of Ibb in central Yemen to protest the massacres committed by Saleh's regime against the residents of Taizz and Arhab. The protestors renewed their rejection of the Gulf Cooperation Council's initiative and demanded that no immunity be granted to the killers, whom the initiative is trying to protect. The protestors marched through city streets following a speech rally, in which a statement was read condemning the murder and attacks of women during demonstrations in Taizz and Sanaa. In northern Sanaa, tribesmen opposing Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh announced they stormed a pro-Saleh military base and seized weapons. Tribal commander Hamid Assem, who clashed with republican forces led by Saleh's son, said seven tribal fighters and several troops were killed in the attack. Saudi Arabia is seeking to end the Yemeni revolution through a tribal solution between al-Ahmar and Saleh's tribes, removed from the political scene and without achieving the people's demands for reforms. This news comes after the UN Security Council postponed its session on Yemen to allow Riyadh to push ahead in that direction.
Reporter, Male #1
The UN Security Council has adjourned its session on Yemen for a week, as demanded by Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. It's a new deadline issued under the pretext of quote "searching for a political solution to ensure a peaceful transfer of power." This delay comes amid international news reports, in what was attributed to a Western diplomatic source saying that western mediators are considering the possibility of brokering direct talks between the Yemeni president and his two rivals, General Ali Muhsen al-Ahmar and Sheikh Hamid al-Ahmar. The source added that the deal doesn't intend to override the Gulf Cooperation Council's plan. The deal aims to activate all guarantees stipulated by the initiative, including those that were not included in the UN Security Council's resolution. In what was leaked to media sources, it seems that Saudi Arabia is leading the mediation efforts. Riyadh is trying to broker a deal for smooth transition of power from President Saleh to a key figure in the al-Ahmar tribe, most likely Sheikh Hamid al-Ahmar. It's a tribal solution away from the political scene which could undermine the demands of the Yemeni revolution for freedom, democracy, and reforms. Observers believe that any partial solution in Yemen will not succeed, especially amid the escalating 'revolutionary resolve' and the protestors' commitment to achieving all their demands.
Jordanian king visits Ramallah for first time in decade [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
The Jordanian monarch, King Abdullah II ended his visit to Ramallah, where he met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. During his visit, which was scheduled at the last minute, the Jordanian king discussed the latest political developments with the Palestinians, especially the issue of reconciliation. More details in our correspondent Iman Ariqat's report from Ramallah.
Reporter, Female #1
Jordanian King Abdullah II descended from his military helicopter in front of the Palestinian presidential headquarters in Ramallah. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas described the king's first visit since 2000 as "a great visit which will always be remembered." The Jordanian king wanted to discuss an array of issues during a phase described as sensitive. These issues included Jordan's full support for the Palestinian bid at the UN Security Council to receive full membership for a Palestinian state, the importance of achieving a united internal Palestinian front, and Jordan's rejection to the talks of an alternative homeland.
Guest, Male #2 (Nasser Judeh, Jordanian Foreign Minister)
To anyone who says we call for an alternative homeland, or earmark an alternative homeland, or any similar talks, we say that the Jordanian king's position is very clear: the independent Palestinian state can only be established in the Palestinian territories with East Jerusalem as its capital. This is Jordan's position. Anyone who says otherwise has no ground for it.
Guest, Male #3 (Abdul Rahim Muluh, PLO Executive Committee Member)
We were against this subject in the past, and we are against it now. We will not accept the idea that Palestine has an alternative. Palestine is the nation for Palestinians; Jordan is the nation for Jordanians.
Reporter, Female #1
The Jordanian monarch's visit brought forth many questions about the Jordan's proposals for the Palestinian leadership, especially since the visit takes place merely days before the anticipated meeting between the Palestinian president and Hamas' political bureau chief Khaled Meshal in Cairo.
Guest, Female #2 (Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, Palestinian Legislative Council Member)
The purpose of the meeting is to affirm Jordan's continuous mediation on the highest level in order to face the current challenges, especially as countries in the region are going through political changes. In addition, it is a positive move connected to the Arab Spring.
Reporter, Female #1
Jordan's affirmation of its position supporting the two-state solution based on the June 4, 1967 borders came with the Palestinian assertion that it is ready to return to negotiations as soon as Israel stops all settlement activities and recognizes these borders as those of the independent Palestinian state. While some consider the Jordanian king's surprise visit as historical, others say its timing is imperative as it coincides with Palestinians' anticipation for the future of both their internal and external statuses. From Ramallah city, Iman Ariqat, BBC.
Iran boycotts IAEA meeting [IBA, Israel]
Iran decided to boycott today's meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency amid growing tensions over the West and its nuclear intentions. Iranian envoy to the UN nuclear watchdog declared that the move was his country's first response to the IAEA' bombshell report exposing Iran's rogue nuclear program. The envoy also said Iran decided to stay away from the discussions due to Israel's participation.
Israeli medical residents return to work [IBA, Israel]
Back here at home, medical residents gradually returned to work today after last week's mass resignations. Heading high court orders, the young physicians have agreed to another round of negotiations with the treasury. The High Court appointed former Supreme Court justice Professor Yitzhak Zamir and President of the Israeli Association of Mediators Mordehai Mironi to help expedite the process.
Al-Qaeda sympathizer accused of NYC bomb plots [IBA, Israel]
New York City officials have arrested a US citizen on charges of building a pipe bomb to use against US troops. Twenty-seven year old Jose Pimentel had been under close surveillance since May of 2009 for his apparent ties to the now-deceased al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. The New York City police commissioner said that the killing of al-Awlaki in a US drone attack spurred Pimentel's desire to harm US forces returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Israeli professor: Israeli textbooks cultivate apartheid and racism [Palestine TV, Ramallah]
Presenter, Male #1
Israeli researcher Nurit Elchanan asserted that Israeli textbooks cultivate apartheid and the Israeli education institution aims to prepare the Israeli youth to justify the Israeli army's crimes. Anas Bu'arku reports.
Reporter, Male #2
Israeli researcher and professor of language and education at Hebrew University, Professor Nurit Peled-Elchanan concluded that Israeli textbooks cultivate racist apartheid against Arabs and Palestinians and encourages treating them like a demographic problem. Hebrew newspaper Maariv said that Elchanan's conclusions can be found in her new book which will soon be published in English. In the book, she says, "The Israeli apartheid is not only a group of racist laws but an ideology towards Arabs and Palestinians." Elchanan worked on her book from 1996 to 2009. It is called Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education. She believes that the purpose of the Israeli education institution is to prepare the Israeli youth to justify the Israeli army's crimes by simplifying complicated Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.
Libya's Misurata opens war museum [Russia Today, Russia]
Presenter, Male #1
The city of Misurata, which became famous during the Libyan revolution as a stronghold for the revolutionaries against the late Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's battalions, is hosting an exhibition of the variety of weapons seized during the fighting against Gaddafi's forces. One of the most prominent items exhibited is the golden fist that used to decorate Gaddafi's headquarters in the Bab al-Aziziya complex.
Reporter, Male #2
The city of Misurata became famous in the recent Libyan war as a stronghold for revolutionaries against the late Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's battalions and is now a symbol of the revolution. The city suffered a suffocating siege by the battalions for five months. On Tripoli Street, an open-air museum showcases a collection of tanks, mortar shells, and Molotov cocktails seized during the fierce fighting against Gaddafi's forces.
Guest, Male #2
It's a very nice feeling. We came to Misurata to see it; all this destruction and war crimes. May God prevent this from ever happening again.
Reporter, Male #2
The items were collected from the battlefields where the Gaddafi battalions were defeated. The most prominent item is the giant statue of the golden fist holding an American warplane that used to decorate Gaddafi's headquarters in Bab al-Aziziya. It used to represent Gaddafi's hostility towards the West. This statue is now here, covered in revolutionary slogans and the colors of the new Libyan flag. The large metal eagle that also used to be in Gaddafi's home inside the Bab al-Aziziya compound is on display in the museum. The eagle has a four-meter wingspan and clutches a life-sized mannequin of Gaddafi in its claws.
Guest, Male #4
This hand used to be called the "hand to smash the tyrannical enemy." Now we say it's the hand of the resistant Misurata. Misurata is the iron fist that crushed the tyrant and his aides in this war.
Reporter, Male #2
Many families with young children toured all parts of the museum. But what concerns many is the spread of weapons in Libya and its negative impact on the democratic transition process and internal security challenges that may extend beyond the border. Ibrahim Hasnawi, Russia Today.

European Partnerships and Projects
EERE engages through regional partnerships, as well as bilaterally with individual countries in the European region. Some of the following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. Download Adobe Reader.
Regional Partnerships
U.S.-European Union Energy Council
The EU-U.S. Energy Council was created in November 2009 to deepen the transatlantic dialogue on strategic energy issues and establish low carbon energy sources, while strengthening scientific collaboration. The Energy Council has created three working groups that focus on Global Energy Security and Markets, Energy Policy, and Technology Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D). EERE participates in the Technology RD&D working group in four areas: 1) biofuels; 2) energy efficient buildings; 3) hydrogen and fuel cells; and 4) solar power.
EERE and the EU-U.S. Energy Council are helping to bring together subject-matter experts from Europe and the United States to coordinate activities and share information. This cooperation will propel energy policy and deployment, and to accelerate the development of clean energy technologies.
Collaboration on the Solar Decathlon Europe
Developed under a 2007 MOU between DOE and Spain's Ministry of Housing that provided for two events over four years, the first Solar Decathlon Europe in 2010 brought 17 innovative solar houses and 190,000 visitors to Madrid, Spain. The SDE 2012, which will also be held in Madrid, will kick off on September 14.
In March 2012, DOE and the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, Transport and Housing signed an MOU regarding the 2014 competition, which will take place in Versailles, France.
The Solar Decathlon is a biennial competition that challenges teams of university students to design, build and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient and attractive. The winner of the competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum energy efficiency.
See the Solar Decathlon page for more information about the DOE competition, or visit the Solar Decathlon Europe website.

(KJRH) A great deal families are counting their pennies while trying to pay off their layaway bills.
That was at the center of conversation Monday as some east Tulsa, Oklahoma Walmart customers left the store in tears.
"I've been off work for a year and a half so it's been kind of tight," said Nita Renee, who was in line to pay off her layaway bill.
Renee says she has been saving for weeks to pay the $215 she owes. But Renee says that was her only option. She says her daughter must have a Christmas.
"She's six years old and she deserves it. She really deserves it," Renee said.
Fortunately for Renee, her debt was paid by a Secret Santa. That same anonymous shopper paid for 52 other families this holiday season -- a gift totaling $10,000, according to Walmart employees.
No one with the store would reveal the identity of the generous shopper.

Original Message

While it's often best not to engage with conspiracy theorists on their own turf, as you can probably never convince them, it's worth setting the record straight on all the myths and phony evidence surrounding the Sandy Hook massacre.
We've rounded up every major piece of evidence we could find that leads theorists to say the "official narrative" of events "doesn't add up" and provided the facts that show why these questions can be easily explained. We've ignored the empty accusations with no evidence to support them (it was the Jews!) and focused only on the theories that try to present actual empirical or circumstantial evidence.
Let us know if we missed any and we'll add to it as more myths emerge. In no particular order, here is your comprehensive guide to disproving the Sandy Hook Truthers:
Why aren't the adults sadder? "They aren't behaving the way human beings would act," as conspiracy theorist Jay Weidner told fellow conspiracy theorist Jeff Rense on his radio show. Theorists have zeroed in on Robbie Parker, who they say wasn't grieving hard enough for his slain 6-year-old daughter, Emilie. In one widely circulated clip, Parker laughs before stepping up to the microphone, and apparently someone says "read from the card" (as in cue card) before Parker breathes heavily in anticipation of beginning a press conference. "This is what actors do to get into character," one popular YouTube video states. Rense and Weidner also take issue with the mourning of the school nurse, the family of slain teacher Victoria Soto, and others. "ALL ACTORS??? NO TEARS," wonders the author of SandyHookHoax.com on a page featuring videos with numerous interviews from the shooting.
Answer: People mourn in many different ways, sometimes all at once. As a recent Scientific American article on gref noted, "oscillation between sadness and mirth repeated itself in study after study … Time and again, a grief-stricken person's expression would change from dejection to laughter and back." George Bonanno, a psychologist at Columbia University who studies grief, even developed a way to determine if this mourner's laughter was genuine or merely a facade to hide grief — he determined that they "exhibited the real thing." Scientists think this is part of our internal resilience mechanisms kicking in, because constant grief is simply too much for a person to handle.
What about Emilie? One of the most common myths circulated on message boards and in YouTube videos is that Emilie Parker is actually alive. The "proof" is a photo purportedly showing her with President Obama when he visited the school after the shooting. Conspiracists know it's Emilie because she's wearing the same dress as the one Emilie wore in a family portrait taken before the shooting (an alternative theory is that the girl in the photo with Obama is her "double"). Other websites take issue with the family portrait, alleging it was Photoshopped for some reason, pointing to the fact that the Emilie is making a "devil's horns" sign with her hands and "making the devil's horn hand sign isn't easy. Try it yourself. Imagine getting a 3- and 4-year-old do it."
Answer: The girl on Obama's lap is Emilie's little sister. It's amazing that we have to say this, but sometimes younger siblings wear clothes passed down to them from older siblings, and sometimes siblings look alike because they are siblings. And there's no evidence or even motive given for why the portrait would be Photoshopped. Making a "devil's horn" gesture is actually incredibly easy. Try it yourself.
Why do they all look the same? Numerous websites juxtapose pictures of people from Newtown against pictures of similar looking people from Aurora, Colo., and assert they are the same actors.
Answer: Not all women with brown hair are the same person.

Cross between Modern and Victorian Romantic
Living room or Great room
She's a tough chick with pink power tools. She'll have to pardon us for staring. Paige Hemmis may be an unlikely vision on a construction site, however the statuesque beauty is an accomplished carpenter and skilled homebuilder. Self-taught and with no formal carpentry training, she is rarely to be found without a tool of some kind in her purse.
Paige was born in Wisconsin and grew up in Chatsworth, California, with aspirations ranging from teacher to doctor to world traveler to wedding planner. During college, she taught first aid and CPR to the University of California, Santa Barbara student population. Later, she became a licensed Emergency Medical Technician, after graduating with degrees in both Theology and Psychology.
In 2001, Paige founded a real estate company that bought houses, renovated them and developed innovative rent-to-own solutions for tenants who cannot afford the steep down payment usually required to purchase. Without deep pockets, she used her tenacity and resourcefulness to learn all aspects of construction, including drywall, cabinetry, electrical and plumbing. She auditioned for Monster House in order to win tools so she could fix more homes. When she appeared on the Christmas episode, she was discovered by the producers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Lucky for us!
In her years in the construction industry, Paige found a void in the marketplace when it came to women's tools and products. "I had such a hard time finding gloves and tool belts that fit me. I would constantly have to take men's gear and drill extra holes or use duct tape in order to get equipment to fit me." With that in mind, she founded Tuff Chix, Inc., dedicated to performance workwear for women that's durable and fashionable. Tuff Chix is inspired by Paige's own hard work and determination and features such items as pink work gloves, boots and tool belts. In 2006, she released her first book, The Tuff Chix Guide to Easy Home Improvement, to inspire other women to tackle DIY projects with confidence. She is currently working to develop TV & film projects through her Tuff Entertainment Group. In early 2010, she plans to launch a Tuff Chix Foundation, aimed to promote successful women and help young women realize their utmost potential.
This summer, Paige debuted on ABC's competition reality show, The Superstars, in which she and partner Bode Miller took second place. She also serves as a spokesperson for several charities, including Habitat for Humanity and the Starkey Hearing Foundation. When she isn't busy filming or helping out charities, she enjoys traveling to exotic locations, dining out, curling up with a good mystery book and hanging out with friends and family.
Paige considers her role on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition a blessing and feels extremely fortunate to make her living helping others. "It's amazing that we get the opportunity to travel our country helping families redefine the place they call home. It's an honor to help, and my life will be forever changed by it."

New RP
A New Town, A New Life
Welcome to Asherville. Your parents stumbled upon this little gem of a neighborhood whilst house shopping. Youre the new kid in town and youre not the only one! There are tons of new kids and the town seems to be revitalized! Have fun making friends and trying to fit in!
Alright, so the idea is that there are tons of new kids coming into this bright and now revitalized town called Asherville. The only teenager left before this new influx is the mayors daughter, Megan Asher. Shes not to thrilled with all of the new kids, but her father promises that itll be okay. After a few months of the kids living in the town strange things start occurring. The greenery is dying and it storms constantly. A group of students from Asherville High School team up to try and find out whats going on. This is where our story begins.
Im thinking this will be a mostly humans campaign, but Im open to ideas for non-human characters. Just let me know!
If I get enough people wanting to do this, I'll start up the OOC and we'll go from there.
P.S. Read my character's CS, it'll give you background info.
P.S.S. If you have any ideas to add, let me know!

Comments about 18KW Delicate Antique Scroll Ring:
MY fiancee loves the ring. We looked at a few in advance, so I had an idea of what to get. It was definitely worth sacrificing some size for the added clarity and (lack of) color. I wanted a 1.0 carat, but instead selected a 0.93 carat which rated better in cut, color and clarity. It was well worth it! The sparkle is the best part and 0.93 carat looks just as nice on my fiancee's hand.

Comments about 18KW Delicate Antique Scroll Ring:
It was the perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. She loved it and loves to show it off. With a reasonable price of the band I had quite a good selection of diamonds and the team at brilliant earth was very helpful in picking it out. Furthermore, they take good care to package the ring well. Because I was proposing in the restaurant, it was hard for me to hide the box in my pocket. I ended up just carrying the ring but I don't think the effect was the same. Otherwise great!
We're here to help! Call us at 1.800.691.0952 or email us.
All of our rings are made from recycled gold or platinum.

NEW MUSIC VIDEO!!! I wrote the song "Stranded" after reading the novel "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier. Blessed to have been able to collaborate with incredible talents Kevin "K.O." Olusola and Tara Kamangar. Please watch, share with friends and on your social media pages. Thanks for your support! Much love
i thought i was brave enough to battle your ghost
the fever of a first love which poets wrote
deeply penetrates both soul and mind
leaving nothing but a prisoner behind
but never did i see, you'd turn away from
making it so hard to hold on
it's in the way you leave me stranded
i feel like i've lost control
it's in the way you seem so distant
i feel like i've lost a friend
it's in the way you live for her each day
it's sin the way you live for her each day
and not for me
i thought i was strong enough to battle it off
the lure of what's lost, what still haunts
an intuition of some suspicion, what's locked inside
a secret mystery, it mesmerizes me
i know, i feel, she's calling me
hold on, hold on…and not for me
bittersweet i tried to reach you
memories of her voice won't leave you
love devoid-a ghost that's haunting me

Food in the fall often means baking something with apples.
An apple pie with a big scoop of ice cream is a standard dessert in the fall. But there are variations on the apple pie that are just as delicious and remain as easy as the original. One of my favorite things to eat in fall is caramel apples. When I found a recipe that basically was a caramel apple in the form of pie, I just had to try it.
The Woman's Club of Elizabethtown's Harvest Breakfast and Country Store has been a tradition each October since 1964. This year is no exception. It is 7 to 10 a.m. Saturday at Pritchard Community Center in Elizabethtown with dine in and carry out service. Tickets, available at the door, are $6 for adults and $3 for children.
If you haven't heard, fall is the season for really good apples and if you haven't already thought about making something with apples, hopefully you will after today's column. George and Nora Bowles, friends from St. James Catholic Church, recently called about a recipe for apple butter not using apple cider. Cider is costly, but apple cider vinegar costs much less. I have since found a recipe for those of you who love apple butter that you could make any time using applesauce or stewed and pureed apples.
As the fall chill hits the air, it's the perfect time for making a yummy pot of soup.
Soup recipes can range from incredibly complex to super easy.
And soups often become tradition for specific dishes and circumstances. When you don't feel well, you want chicken noodle soup. When you're making a grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup is always a must. But for something a little bit more fancy you can find multiple variations of soup.
Today's "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" is a lovely lady and was nominated by her daughter-in-law, Lu Woodford. I had Lu's daughters in class and I see her quite often while stopping in at Surgical Specialists. It was obvious why she nominated Mary Lou Woodford when I got to reading about her.
Sharing recipes for "Recipe Roundup" is fairly easy this month. I have three recipes mentioned in the September "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" column featuring Greg Milby. They are the Teriyaki Chicken, the Fried Biscuits and the Ice Cream recipe.
The fourth recipe is one I found in a magazine and I can't wait for an occasion to try it.
A few people have expressed to me their frustrations over their difficulty in making biscuits. Being a fan of the biscuit, I've tried to make several recipes and a few haven't been too complicated.
In fact, biscuits are so amazing you probably should have a purpose for them before making them or you'll be tempted to eat the entire pan. I hope that's not just me.
If you have spent any time at all with children or teens you've learned they love to snack. Pizza rolls and mozzarella sticks are a staple of many of their diets.
But these types of snacks don't have to come from a freezer, deep fried or nuked in the microwave. There are homemade alternatives which often taste better than bags of frozen snacks.
Baked mozzarella balls and pepperoni pizza rolls might be a couple good recipes to try.
A blogger who posted a recipe for baked mozzarella balls said they also are a healthier alternative.
The weeks sure roll around quickly. And what about this alphabet, hasn't it gone by quickly? I think I am telling my age. They say the older you get, the faster time flies. I feel it.
We are to the letter Y and what would you think of other than Yams. You say, "Oh, you mean sweet potatoes?" No, even though the terms are used interchangeably, there are differences. Because yams are not so available here, I have some sweet potato recipes.
You meet the nicest people in the most unusual places. I was riding my recumbent bike at the gym and started up a conversation with the lady riding the bike next to me. It was amazing the things we had in common, one of which is a love for cooking.

I'll be out of town until the 2nd (headin' up to Santa Fe to party in the new century!), so Web Site updates may be delayed. Happy New Year, Clash mates!
Clash Team:
Now that we've moved to Apolyton and are past the "beta" stage, it's important that the Web Site remain current. As I've said before, it's very much YOUR site, and it's incumbent upon Dom and I to respect your wishes. We want you to use the Web Site as your Clash work space, and that means each model page should be accurate and up-to-date. Although the look-and-feel of each page should be similar, they don't have to be identical.
For example, if the Disease guru uses several "non-Clash" web sites to assist him in developing his model, by all means let's add those links to the Disease Model page. Anything which helps you "get the job done", we're prepared to support.
And of course, there's the regular stuff like model updates, new email addresses, inclusion of new team members, bug reporting, etc.
I am YOUR web editor, sometimes forgetful but always approachable! I'm not receiving much email from Team Members however, so lets try something different. We'll establish this thread as the central point for posting requests to the Web Team. That will ensure I don't "lose" an email (I get about 80/day, so it DOES happen!) or miss something that occurred in a different thread. Also, since your request is "public" I'll have an added incentive to respond promptly!
To access the Clash Web Site, "Click Here"

I'll be out of town until the 2nd (headin' up to Santa Fe to party in the new century!), so Web Site updates may be delayed. Happy New Year, Clash mates!
Kull & Dom,
I've sent you the new manual so could it go up ASAP, thanks.
And for anybody else reading, take a lot at it and could you tell me what you think in the thread titled "The Manual".
Done. Real nice job, by the way!
Kull & Dom,
I've posted the Disease Model so you can update the web page. It's a little hard to understand because I can't really format it the same way I had it in Wordpad, so if you need me to send you that instead, let me know.
TK: The Disease Model has been updated. We've also added a page for your new "Disasters" model. Re: The Wordpad versions. Yes, by all means email them to me!
Darren: I've updated the Interface model to reflect all the work you've done lately, including a link to your demo page.
Nice work, guys!
Hey Kull can you post 2 polls for my char model? I want to use them instead of all reading all the comments cuz i have some specific parameters I want to ask and don't wish to read a whole lot of messages.
Kull, I'll send you those wordpad files in a few days. I'm in the process of updating the models with the stuff we've already discussed. When it is more readable I'll send it to you.
Kull: Excellent, thanks! It's good to have all that stuff in one place (not least for my own disorganised purposes )
LGJ: I can post pretty much anything you want! I don't see the polls in any of the threads, so I assume you'll be emailing them?
I'll be out of town on business until Thursday, so updates will be delayed a bit. Please post your requests anyway!!!
LGJ: I rec'd your questions and passed them along to Dominic. He's looking to incorporate polling technology into the web site, so hopefully we'll have them up this weekend.
The first Clash Poll is now up-and-running! Kudos to LGJ for suggesting it (and Dominic for the implementation). We still owe him 3 more!
[This message has been edited by Kull (edited January 19, 2000).]
Rodrigo: Your "History of Warfare" Summary has been posted, with links added to the Military Model page and in the News
Mark: The new Suggestions page is now up.
All: I've added a "Demo 5 Central" Page which hopefully will assist the Demo5 development process....and keep the curious informed!
U may want to put the demo5 tech model under techs also since it seems to have become the general tech thread also.
TK: The new Disease Model has been posted. Also updated your bio and propagated the new email address.
Actually, we don't yet know exactly what the tech tree will be like, as a lot of the particulars are still being discussed. The posted model has been changed in a lot of ways. It would probably be best to simply put a link to the Demo 5 Tech Tree thread.
Are u going to post any of my other polls? If so i might want to review them (if u still have them -_- ) to make sure they are still aplicable.
LGJ: Regarding the polls...
1) The technology only allows us to post one poll per page. So if you want a "Research" poll, only one at a time can be posted on the Research Page.
2) If you also wanted a "Characters" poll, that's no problem since it would be posted on a different page.
3) We can probably create additional pages to handle second and third polls, but it does complicate things a bit. It's not a showstopper though.
4) I'll return your original email containing the Four polls, and will also forward Mark's email in which he provided different wording for Poll #2. Dom & I will make it a priority to quickly post your revisions.
RB: I'd prefer not to take down your existing version of the Tech Tree. It's inevitable that out of date models are going to be posted, otherwise almost every page on the Web Site will say little more than "Model still being revised, see forum for details". I've added a "NOTE" to that effect on the Research Page. If you insist I'll remove the existing model, but I hope you see why I'd rather not.
LGJ: I've updated the links on the Research page, per your request.
LGJ: The new Poll has been posted on the Research/Tech Tree page.
All: I'll be away on business until Thursday, so additional site updates will be delayed. Don't let that stop you from posting new requests, however!
LGJ: Dom was finally able to eliminate the annoying slider at the bottom of the Web Site Index section. It was harder than it looked, as other pages had to be resized so THEY didn't acquire a slider!
Thx! ^_^
Richard/LGJ: I deleted the old Research model and replaced it with the new concept outlined on the Technology System Version 5.1 thread. Congrats, as you guys have done a lot of groundbreaking work!
I appended the new "Equations Post" to the Model Page. The earlier post (dtd 2/27) is still there because it's still very informative about the unique aspects of the Clash Research methodology. (Especially for the math-challenged!)
Kull: The equations in that post are obsolete. I will send you a copy of the e-mail I sent to Garth that details all of the equations and plans for the tech editor. That really is the final plan, so if you put that up everything would be up to date.
That's good; everything in the old post is still up to date except the equations. I didn't want anything to be done with the old post.
Chris/LGJ: The new "Wonders Model" page has been added to the Web Site!
I just posted a model for Vegetation, Climate, Ecology, and Pollution. Kull, could you add that to the web site? Thanks.

"I Am BioLogos"
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
What's the evidence for the idea that God exists or doesn't exist? I think anyone who's looked at that would conclude that the strong atheist position of saying, "I know there is not God" is not an easy one to sustain.
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
Old Testament scholar and BioLogos ECF grantee John H. Walton spent the first seven months of 2013 traveling around the United States and fifteen other countries lecturing on Genesis 1 - 3. In this series, we feature John's reflections on his world tour and the insights he gained from his conversations.
Zoologist Steve Roels shares a summary of his experiences listening and talking with the scientists in attendance at the Third World Summit on Evolution and also offers a reflective essay and poem about evolution, psalms of praise, Darwin, and the islands that so inspired him.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Its questionable treatment of science and scientists—with an attack mindset and a goal to make scientists look stupid—causes me to advise extreme caution. Bluntly, I see this video as counter to our evangelistic mission.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
Listening to his story I had to remind myself that Phil was an atheist, not a seminary student recalling those who had inspired him to enter the pastorate. As the narrative developed, however, it became clear where things came apart for Phil.
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
With a high-school level understanding of science and theology, I was convinced by this "either-or" argument and, to my knowledge, became the first Young Earth Creationist in my local Nazarene church. I knew the enemy and the enemy had a name. It was Evolution.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
