This is a pair of white gold wedding bands I made for some super cool customers. Together we worked from a range of textures and ideas that suit their tastes and personality. One of the bands was inspired by the shape of driftwood, while the other was modeled on the elevation lines of a topographical map. Definitely unique, and totally one of a kind. I hope they're pleased with the results. Wishing them many happy years and adventures together.
Here is an awesome pair of wedding bands I made for an awesome pair of friends. As with the last ring I posted - these too have a bit of hidden symbolism. The design for her ring is carved in the outline or profile of her family cottage island property. The rose cut diamond marks the place of the cottage, a spot they both hold dear. His ring is so cool because it is made out of hand forged Gibeon Meteorite. It has a bar of 14k white gold, (a thin slice of the sprue off her ring) soldered over the seam. I wish them all the luck while they seek out new life and new civilizations together. ;)
OH, and a big THANK YOU to my coworker Uli from Pure Brilliance for all the help and advice about working with the meteorite.
This diamond engagement ring has an interesting design detail wrapped around the setting. The customer wanted to incorporate moose antlers into the piece because the animal held symbolic meaning for them. We wanted the form to be recognizable, but not blatant nor cartoonish. I think it worked out rather well. It was a pleasure working on this with you and I wish you both all the best.
Here is a ruby engagement ring in yellow gold I completed recently. They wanted the stone to sit a bit lower and for the setting to be integrated into the shape of the ring. In my opinion, often stones are set too high to be comfortably worn. I also hand engraved lines twisting down and around the shank to mimic the texture of my Mitsuro collection. I hope they're pleased with the results & I'm wishing them all the best.
Here's an Engagement ring I completed a little while ago. The customer wanted a BUNCH of different colours, and I got all excited and went a little wild. Not too wild…it's no rainbow jewellery…but I did use an unusual combination of stones. It's made using 18k yellow gold, with bead-set yellow diamonds, various shades of blue sapphires as well as champagne diamonds. It sure is bright, and I heard she loved it. I wish them all the best for their future together.
The inspiration involved in this design came from the customer. She wanted a ring with three 'pathways' symbolizing her three children. Using my Wave Ring series as a starting point, we developed this design into a unique version of a Family ring. I really like how the strands of metal look like trails, or lives a family branching off, but always coming back around and together.
Here is a Wave Ring I made a little while ago with Sapphires. We chose to use several different colours of blue, some lighter and darker and even a couple stones leaning towards violet. I really like the smooth lines and transitions in this particular ring. I wish them all the best on their adventures across the pond :)
Here is another variation of my Wave Ring series. It's made using 14k white gold and bead-set blue sapphires and diamonds. When worn, the individual stones really work together - turning into a linear element and adding movement to the piece. I hope the customers are pleased with the results. I wish them many more happy years together.
This design is a variation on my Wave Ring series. It's made using sterling silver and green tsavorite garnets. I opted to make the strands a bit more irregular and uneven and i'm quite pleased with the results. The ring was entirely hand carved out of wax, then cast into silver. The brilliant green tsavorites really stand out against the white metal…even a bit more sparkly than emeralds.
The last two rings posted were made using the stones from this family heirloom. Here is a little look into the process of pulling stones for remount into a new ring:
The first image is a photo of the piece as is. I clean and check all the stones before doing any work. There was one diamond chipped and one of the 5 emeralds was cracked before I began.
In the second image, I have clamped the ring into my ring vice and will use a flat graver (or chisel) to carefully lift all the prongs. The steel of graver is hardened tool steel and can damage the stones…so I must only touch the metal. During removal of stones I usually work under magnification to better assess how the metal is bending. I don't want to create any pressure points when pulling stones because it could damage the stones.
In the third image, all the stones have carefully been removed. The metal gets sent to be refined and the emeralds are going to the lapidary to be re-cut and re-polished. While that is happening, I'll be carving and casting the wax models into metal. Depending on the complexity of the design, type of setting, it takes me about 5-15 minutes to remove each stone. Emeralds are very brittle stones, and since we want to use the remaining 4 emeralds, I can't make any mistakes taking them out, nor putting them into their new settings.

A Nation of Immigrants

moreImmigration makes America what it is and is formative for what it will become. America was settled by three different models of immigration, all of which persist to the present. The Virginia Colony largely equated immigration with the arrival of laborers, who had few rights. Massachusetts welcomed those who shared the religious views of the founders but excluded those whose beliefs challenged the prevailing orthodoxy. Pennsylvania valued pluralism, becoming the most diverse colony in religion, language, and culture. This book traces the evolution of these three models of immigration as they explain the historical roots of current policy debates and options. Arguing that the Pennsylvania model has best served the country, the final chapter makes recommendations for future immigration reform. Given the highly controversial nature of immigration in the United States, this book provides thoughtful analysis, valuable to both academic and policy audiences. less

Counterparties: Well Fed critics
Welcome to the Counterparties email. The sign-up page is here, it's just a matter of checking a box if you're already registered on the Reuters website. Send suggestions, story tips and complaints to firstname.lastname@example.com.
At a conference in Chicago today, Ben Bernanke seemed like he was talking directly to his critics. In a speech on monitoring the financial system, Bernanke's message was, essentially: we're keeping an eye on things. (Shadow banking, in particular, is still a risk, he warned.)
Bernanke's speech comes on the heels of this year's Ira Sohn conference in New York, where, as Joe Weisenthal and Reuters both noted, one of the major themes among hedge fund bigwigs was "Bernanke hate". Stanley Druckenmiller, a former protege of George Soros, told the crowd that the Fed "is running the most inappropriate monetary policy in the history of the developed world". Paul Singer worries that the "cessation of money printing will cause an instant Depression" and says the Fed's much-discussed end of quantitative easing will be difficult to impossible. And prominent economist Martin Feldstein, a former Reagan econ adviser, wrote Thursday that the Fed's quantitative easing program has loaded up the Fed's balance sheet but hasn't helped the economy in any significant way.
Why all the anti-Bernanke comments and talk of Fed-induced bubbles? Ryan Avent cites a few factors, including recent (nominal) stock market highs and a February speech, in which new Fed governor Jeremy Stein warned of a number of possible financial market bubbles. Paul Krugman thinks the Fed bashing may be just be self-interest — hedge fund managers are paid as a percentage of their overall profits, and the industry certainly has been terrible in that regard of late. Weisenthal says "anti-inflation is kind of a nostalgia trip" for old American hedge fund managers stuck in the mentality of the 1980s.
Pawel Morski looks at lending, the shadow banking sector and the bond market and sees little evidence that the Fed is pushing the financial sector into anything resembling pre-crisis behavior. Still, the anti-Bernanke crowd may have some new ammunition: junk bond yields fell below 5% this week for the first time ever, IFR notes. As the Fed has kept interest rates at historic lows, investors looking for higher returns have piled into the junk-rated corporate debt. Even if that 5% record is effectively meaningless, these milestones can have an effect. "Asset bubbles now rank as the number one concern on credit investors' minds," Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts said. - Ryan McCarthy

"Fed bashing" from people like James Grant (and his readers, Druckenmiller, El-Arian, Faber, et. al.) goes at least as far back as the 87 crash. What's new?
Low interest rates? David Stockman writes:
"the Fed's prosperity management model has led to the extinction of the traditional saver class. During the fourteen-year period since the Greenspan Fed panicked at the time of the LTCM crisis, its interest rate repression policies have resulted in an inflation-adjusted return on six-month bank CDs of exactly zero percent." (The Great Deformation, p. 496.)
And of course the "investment return" on Treasury's most recent 4-week T-bill auction (before inflation) were just that: 0.000% — precision to 3 decimal places.
Bernanke's legacy will be the assist he gave beleaguered PE titans, whose top nine executives took home only $1 billion in dividends and compensation last year:

The industrial FED apologist complex.
Is there an organization with more empirical evidence of ineptness? But just as the military industrial complex has a vast incentive to justify and expand itself, the same applies to the FED.

Reggie Bush's Girlfriend Is Pregnant
Things aren't lookin' good for Reggie Bush's bank account for the next 18 years. According to Bossip sources close to the Dolphins' baller say his live-in, Armenian, boo-thang (no, not THAT one) Lilit is knocked the fawk up!
Apparently, Reggie spilled his seed in ol' girl on a romantic trip to Europe towards the end of the summer where he wasn't too interested in using an "umbrella" when "playing in the rain".
Our insider tells us exclusively that Reggie and Lilit have been together for a little over a year, and he moved her from L.A. to Miami so she could be on his arm during the NFL season.
We're also told that he's PISSED about the whole situation, but she is VERY adamant about keeping the baby, so Reggie isn't going to fight her about it.
When will these stupid ninjas learn to stop dealing with these off-brand, good-for-nothing, can't-wait-to-be-a-baller's-baby-mama azz hoes alone?!
He should have stayed his silly azz with Kimmy Cakes. At LEAST she has her own gwap and wouldn't need to suck his bank account dry with child support payments that he is getting ready to make to this ho.
SMH…get your life together Reggie!
Sidebar: If you have Reggie on your fantasy football team you might wanna bench him this weekend. He's liable to be a lil'…distracted.

Hello everyone! I have been reading these forums quite a bit and have decided to post my AT&T ADSL woes to see if anyone can assist or shed some light for me. This is my post to copy into the AT&T Direct forums. Address:Lisbon, CT 06351 [edited] Service #: [edited] I live on the end of the AT&T service area and they extended DSL to my location when SBCGlobal.net was the service provider. We have always had intermittent, VERY SLOW, constantly disconnecting DSL service. Fed up with the service quality and being an online gamer / remote IT Support technician that needs a consistent ping, I decided to try a different local DSL service provider, 99 Main, for a month or two despite it being double the cost for the same service ($40.00/mo). 99 Main severed the service from AT&T and we went on. The internet quality was the same. Due to inexperience, I found that it is because of unmaintained, outdated equipment on the pole that routes service to my area. We found this out after 10's of support calls to 99 Main and having them contact AT&T. Realizing it is AT&T's lines and equipment that is bad, rather than paying double the cost we contacted AT&T to re-establish our DSL service. The big issue we have is that AT&T will no longer offer us DSL service due to saying that we were "grandfathered" in, even though our neighbors and relatives who live next door to us still have AT&T service. The internet service is so terrible as it is over these lines and with the equipment, we just want to go back to paying the nominal amount with AT&T V.S. double with 99 Main. Even though AT&T Chat representatives tell us the service is available and we just have to disconnect with 99 main, I am very apprehensive about doing so for fear that we may lose the ability to have DSL altogether. Once we call into support/sales, they say they cannot help us or escalate to a manager. We have been a customer of AT&T for over 30 years with a home phone and other services and do not understand why they will not offer service to such a loyal customer. There is no sight of cable or UVERSE in the near future due to our location. Anyone who could pull strings to even just get AT&T to please service our home with DSL once again (we still have their home land line connected) would be a great help to us. Thank you for reading.Curtis & Family
You must be on the edge of getting DSL. Theres a guy here at work that has really crappy dsl service from AT&T. AT&T said there was nothing they could do other then cancel his services. Really what AT&T meant was that they are too cheap to keep their infrastructure maintained. Dont listen to any of those CSR's, they are liars that just want to keep you as a customer as long as they can. They told me DSL will be coming down my road in the near future. That was like 10 years ago........anyways, you already said you contacted people in the AT&T direct forum, hopefully david will be able to help you out but let me tell you this now, dont hold your breath. AT&T is too damn cheap to upgrade their aging copper lines. If anything I would start looking into wireless. Millenicom is pretty good.Good luck.--»mc-buildville.enjin.com/
Unfortunately, the AT&T staff who can pull those strings read and post regularly in the AT&T Direct forum. That forum is private; this forum is accessible to the general public, so posting personal information here is not wise. I've requested a mod to check, so the information may be redacted before you return.FWIW, AT&T is just a new name for SBC Global; same management and staff, new name (which came with the company when SBC bought AT&T in 2005).Also, AT&T appears to have two plans for the future. In regions where it is financially feasible to maintain infrastructure, they are retiring legacy ADSL in favor of IP-DSL; either ADSL2+ or VDSL. This would be urban, and higher density suburban. Where they are not willing to incur costs of infrastructure upgrade, they are going to deploy wireless (4G/LTE?) You may be caught up in that; only the techs in the AT&T Direct forum can tell if you might still get hooked up with DSL service. And you can post your account details in that forum; just don't post it here.--Norman~Oh Lord, why have you come~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
Is cable available?
Thank you guys for your quick replies and advice. Also, thank you for contacting a moderator to protect my identity. I didn't realize that I shouldn't post that type of information in this forum itself.Unfortunately cable is not available otherwise I would have switched years ago. I will copy my post into the AT&T Direct forums to see if I can get any further assistance.You guys rock!
AT&T is too damn cheap to upgrade their aging copper lines. If anything I would start looking into wireless.

All Customer Reviews for "2mm HyperFlex AMP Wetsuit Beanie Cap"
Average Customer Review: 19 Reviews
Write an online review and share your thoughts with others.
odd fit, 6.12.2014
Reviewer: Skald S. (, )
I'm not sure if this runs large (as per other reviews) or just has an odd fit. For me, it isn't too big so much as it constantly slides off during surfing, SCUBA or snorkel (I've tried it for all 3 activities in the Lake Superior Region this spring). However, it works great for open water surface swimming, as another reviewer pointed out, if you have it over a swim cap. So.. for that use, it works GREAT. Nice materials, et cetera. For diving or surfing, however, you might be better served with a more specialized rig. I was hoping for a diving cap that was less restrictive than my hood for quick working dives (not recreation) but the hood really is what you need up here, especially if the cap pops up or up and off.
Reviewer: Alea (, )
OK I ORDERED MEDIUM DUE TO LONG HAIR (HIP LENGTH) BUT THE MED IS HUGE AND ANY SPLASH (waves) will knock it off. I wore it so cannot return it.
Buy a size SMALLER than you'd think!
A bit tall and order smaller, 3.8.2014
Reviewer: John - Upstate NY (, )
My head is 23.5". I ordered both a L and a M, figuring I'd send back the one that didn't fit right. Consistent w/others here, the MEDIUM is the right size for me. So, order down a size.
I also notice that it comes down a little bit further than I would have liked (so there's too much headroom up top). Not a big deal, but I plan to use this while scuba diving and if it stopped a little higher up it'd be easier to get the seal from my mask to find my forehead skin.
NIce Fit , 1.19.2014
Reviewer: David (, )
Fits nicely over my ears. Seems tight enough to hold up well in the water. Makes for a good rain cap as well!
Great Product, 12.5.2013
Reviewer: Steve (, )
Beanie is Awesome! Go one size down for better fit!
Love it!, 11.22.2013
Reviewer: Ron (, )
This thing is awesome! Wear it wakeboarding and it takes quite a crashes for it to come off! I've taken full sets and gone down several times and my head has stayed dry! As others have said probably fits alittle looser than what I would have thought after measuring my head but I like how it fits and wouldn't return. I've got a oneill full head skull cap with ear flaps but I much prefer this because it doesn't make it feel like you are outa touch with your surroundings like you do with the ones that totally cover your ears. Highly recommend for the cold weather riders!
Good quality, 10.21.2013
Reviewer: coldwatersurfer (, )
Nice for those fall and spring days when you don't need a hood. I ordered a medium and found it to be a little snug, I normally wear a 7 1/8 in a cap. Does'nt quite cover your ears, Good construction
Review of 2mm AMP Beanie Cap for sailboarding, 9.22.2013
Reviewer: Frank Graydon (, )
Very pleased with quality and design. Perfect for making sure my balding head does not fry. Received my order in just a few days. Only complaint is my head measures 23.5 inches so I ordered a large (23") to make sure it was tight on crashes. Feels a little looser than I would like but have has not come off yet, Remember to order smaller. Little holes in back are perfect to put a plastic wire tie through. I put my wet suit zipper leash through and tie to my croakies for glasses. Now I have everything attached! Nice product! but think I should have ordered a Med because will stretch with time!
Good product but does not fully cover ears, 11.17.2012

Good bean but it does not fully cover the eas.
Used by firefighter for rescue swimming in Hurricane Sandy, 11.5.2012
Reviewer: Jay Sarno (, )
Very warm and secure. Used first day out of box as rescue swimmer for my fire department during Hurricane Sandy.
really long swims in cold water, 9.18.2012
Reviewer: Jane (, )
I'm a long distance swimmer and this is great for cold water.My head is small so useing a silicone cap under the beanie and then a neon visible cap on top is not to tight and keeps me totally toasty.This will be a wonderful year for fall and maybe winter swims.
Beanie, 6.3.2012
Reviewer: John (, )
Sizing is a bit loose. Recommend getting a size down from your normal size.
It comes down a little too far. When I'm paddling it rides up on the back of my neck. I may need to cut a little crescent out of the back of the beanie so it stays down.
Everyday cap, 3.19.2012
Reviewer: Jake (, )
Got this Beanie as a less itchy option when I have extremely short hair. Really like a beanie that doesn't itch. It seems to run a size bigger than expected. I wear Lg, should have bought Med.
warm and open, 2.18.2012
Reviewer: joe (, )
Kept my longboarding head warm while allowing freedom of movement. I dont like the tunneled in feeling of a full hood. Comes with holes for easy lanyard attachment to your zipper. Kept my hand on it while getting tossed and did not come off....yet
very nice beanie for cold weather water sports, 2.1.2012
Reviewer: Mike from Tahoe (, )
I bought this beanie for chilly early morning runs. If you go out early when it is chilly and have gotten an icecream headache this beanie is for you. I have a friend that was wearing one and he always comented on how it kept him warmer. He is right and just this little beanie and a wet suit top can make an early morning run so much nicer. If you are trying to stay warmer during chilly water sports this is a nice addition.
Gangsta, 12.21.2011
Reviewer: GMC, San Diego (, )
I really like this cap. You look like you're from the hood when you're in the water. It keeps my head warm when I am out. The water here is in the 50's but this really works for me. The only thing is it does not stay on your head when you get worked after a wave and the lip of the wave hit me right on the head and took it off, use a lanyard! Shoe string tied to my wetsuit works great!
Great for in between fall/winter, 10.20.2011
Reviewer: El Stupido (, )
Great to have for days when you want just a little on top. I have a shaved head and this works well. You dont get the full on spacesuit feeling of a hood, but keeps your melon toasty. Would recommend, especially for 20 bucks.
Perfect, 9.19.2011
Reviewer: Ray (, )
Works great for cold water and days especially when you have short or no hair and its not cold enough to warrant a full hood.
2mm Hyperflex Beanie Cap, 8.7.2011
Reviewer: John (, )
I use it for scuba diving. It was just what I wanted; a wetsuit beanie without an annoying chinstrap.

Meatless Mouthful: Why Tony LaRussa Went Vegetarian
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 7th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Meatless Mouthful.
"Back in 1977, when I was a player-coach, I came back from a road trip, and my wife was watching a PBS documentary on how veal comes to the table. As soon as I walked in the door, she said, "We will never eat veal again." So that started it. Very soon after, all red meat disappeared from our plates, and the chicken and turkey, and then fish. Within a year to a year and a half, we were totally vegetarian."
—-Major league baseball manager Tony La Russa, in an interview with Vegetarian Times in the September '09 print issue. Tony and his wife, Elaine, founded the Animal Rescue Foundation, a nonprofit that provides services for abadoned animals, such as vet assistance and adoption.

Inside Ultimate Exposure Tanning Centers' Chicagoland locations, a full lineup of UV- and spray-tanning equipment infuse skin with a healthy summer glow year-round. Individual sessions in the automated spray-tanning booths?such as VersaSpa?or UV beds gild bodysuits for nights on the town, and unlimited monthly packages fashion a continuous golden hue previously only available to sunbathing satellites. The salon stocks a variety of tan-accelerating lotions from Swedish Beauty, Australian Gold, and Designer Skin, which deepen bronze hues and moisturize skin to fashion a long-lasting radiance.
Danbee Spa's adept aestheticians treat digits and bodies to french or spa-style mani-pedis and waxing for both men and women. Manicures and pedicures polish beleaguered extremities, with some treatments providing paraffin-wax dips or salt to buff nails and grant clients the power to season pot roasts upon contact. In massages, therapists ease away muscle tension with kneading strokes targeted at tense areas. Spa technicians also offer to beautify clients for a range of events, including weddings, neighborhood parties, and birthday soirees.
At Arch-ez Sensational Beauty, each beauty specialist brings a distinct set of skills to the table. At her respective station, Sana Khan threads eyebrows and administers lash extensions that help eyes to pop as powerfully an Orville Redenbacher factory on fire. Demi waxes off clients' unwanted hair, while resident facial specialist Sarika Modi coats faces in whitening, herbal, and organic treatments. Meanwhile, at another area of the spa, a specialist decorates skin with intricate henna designs.
The tanning pros at Xotic Tan help clients combat alabaster tones with a variety of tanning services. Clients can recline in toasty tanning beds that bronze limbs with customizable intensity. Alternatively, they can step into Mystic tanning booths for quick spritzes of UV-free bronzer, or opt for a custom airbrush tan that allows them to fit in at the beach or to stop getting mistaken for snow.
In her years as a permanent and semi-permanent makeup expert, Suzie Kim became disillusioned with the products and techniques available to her—many left drastic, unnatural results. She eventually discovered semi-permanent makeup; instead of depositing harsh tattoo inks deep into sensitive facial skin, an entirely permanent technique allows the design to eventually fade into a bluish-gray hue or a vintage ribbon that says "Mom," Now, Suzie grants her clients more defined eyes, eyebrows, and lips, shortening their morning routines and leaving their faces radiant.
Le French Twist Hair Salon's beauty technicians offer a full menu of salon services that ranges from hair to waxing and airbrush makeup. Along with salon services, the staff soothes away tension with massage therapy and fosters glowing skin with basic, treatment, and anti-aging facials.

Regarding ATT, do they actually tell you the speed you will get? Whenever I see their ads they seem to always use "up to" verbiage. Does the FCC then rank them based on the "up to" number?I'm not defending ATT here but since they seem to be toward the bottom of the rankings. Is that because they are truly advertising speeds they never deliver or interpretation by those creating the charts?

Tip: Try Long Lasting Lemon Thyme
Many people tell us they don't use fresh herbs because they cannot cook through a whole bunch of them before they go bad.
We suggest trying lemon thyme or another member of the thyme family. Stand a bunch of washed and dried thyme up in a glass in the kitchen. It will dry for you right on the counter and last a couple of weeks. Thyme keeps most of its flavor when dried.
Lemon thyme has the herby brightness of thyme with an especially clear citrus flavor, without the acid, that can stand up to roasted meat and other intense flavors. How would you describe the flavor?
We love lemon thyme with fresh tomatoes, roasted eggplant, or the brown-buttered corn recipe from The New York Times. Kitchen reader Art told us he uses lemon thyme on grilled chicken and in martinis. Chocolate and Zucchinni used Lemon Thyme to flavor a creme brulee and the sign at the farmer's market says lemon thyme works well in soothing sore throat teas.

Nice tip! Of course, "parsley, sage, rosemary and lemon thyme" doesn't have quite the same ring to it...
Try this:
Pear, prosciutto & brie pizza
(serves 6)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 corella pears, cored, cut into wedges
- 2 bunches asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut into 5cm lengths diagonally
- 1 pizza dough
- 100g (1 cup) grated mozzarella
- 8 slices prosciutto, torn
- 200g brie, sliced
- 1 tbs fresh lemon thyme leaves
- 20g baby rocket leaves
1. Preheat oven to 240°C. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the pear and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until caramelised. Transfer to a plate. Add the asparagus to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until bright green and tender crisp.
2. Brush a baking tray with oil. Roll out a dough portion on a lightly floured surface to 30cm-diameter disc. Place on the prepared tray. Sprinkle over the mozzarella. Arrange the pear, asparagus, prosciutto and brie over the pizza base. Sprinkle with lemon thyme leaves. Drizzle with remaining oil. Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Scatter with baby rocket leaves to serve.

love that last shot with it hanging over the plate! this should be the new standard shot for crust rigidity!! from the looks, I like mine a little more crisp. but that's such a personal opinion. i'd pay good money for that pizza! looks fabulous! great job!!
Another attempt tonight reinforced my point that a 4:30 bake time at 500F w/convection is the money spot for this dough. Heavy toppings = more time in the oven and means a harder crust. Next time I may try moving to a screen after 4:30 on stone to see if it's still how I like it.Nate
I`m making this tonight....my Good Golly better be jolly, good ole Nate !!

Genre: Contemporary Romance, General Contemporary Romance
1997 BEST CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE Nominee
Get ready to savor a witty, sexy, adventure-filled romp from the captivating imagination of Suzanne Simmons. THE PARADISE MAN is a tropical treat!
Antiques expert Jane Bennett is a woman on a mission. Twenty years ago her globe-trotting father, Charlie, disappeared from the Caribbean island of Paradise. Charlie presumably died while searching for treasure on the shipwrecked Spanish galleon Bella Donna. Retracing her father's footsteps, Jane is now determined to find answers.
Former businessman Jake Hollister has transformed in the last year, from successful CEO to bar owner/beach bum on Paradise. In his spare time Jake also searches for the legendary Spanish wreck. From the moment he sees her, Jake finds himself highly intrigued by Jane. Paradise is not your ordinary tourist mecca, so what brings a woman of obvious wealth and class out this far?
For her part, Jane is disconcerted to find herself attracted to a man so different from her usual male ideal.. What is it about Jake that sets her blood pounding? The realization that they are both searching for the Bella Donna gives them a reason to join forces. Neither is obsessed with the potential riches to be found: Jake seeks a challenge, while Jane wants answers about her father's disappearance. Yet for others, the money means everything, the sharks in the sea not being the only ones circling the island.

High school teams go to work
By BARRY BURLESON
Dew covered the field. When the lights of Sam Coopwood Park were turned on, nearby dogs started barking.
It was near midnight.
At about 12:05 a.m. Monday, the Holly Springs High School Hawks entered the stadium. It was officially time for some football.
"The closer it got to our midnight practice, the more excited I got," said head coach Clifford Brown. "We're ready to go to work and try to accomplish some good things."
The Hawks will play its "Black and Gold Game," an intrasquad scrimmage, on Thursday, Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the stadium. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted at the gate. Concessions will be sold.
Holly High then goes to Horn Lake Friday, Aug. 22, for a jamboree contest and kicks off the 2008 season Friday, Aug. 29, at Cordova, Tenn.
Brown expects 47 players in 10th-12th grades, plus 27 ninth-graders.
The old press box at Sam Coopwood Park has been demolished, and a new one will be constructed. Brown said he appreciates the continued improvements to the facility, which help build pride in the program as a whole.
"We want the people to get out here and support us," he said.
Marshall Academy
Marshall Academy started practice on Monday, July 28, a week before the public schools.
The Patriots, under the leadership of head coach Keith Wicker, will play in a jamboree at Lee (Clarksdale) on Thursday, Aug. 14. They kick off a new season Friday, Aug. 22, at Lee (Ark.). Wicker expects about 29 Patriots on the varsity roster.
"Meet the Patriots" is set for Tuesday, Aug. 19, at 7 p.m. at the football stadium.
The Indians and first-year-head-coach Markeith Washington opened practice Monday.
Byhalia's first game of the season is Friday, Aug. 29, at home versus Horn Lake.

The Chico City Council accepts a financial report from a third-party auditor. The council members accepted the financial audit from a Sacramento based firm at Tuesday night's meeting. According to the E-R, in order for the city to receive a clean audit for the last fiscal year the city needed to reimburse over $13 dollars in deficits to capital improvement funds. This caused the City's the general fund to be over $7 million dollars the red. The Council says that they need to move forward and that they need to clean up the fiscal mess.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday blocked an Arizona law banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy as it considers the case. The law was upheld by a trial judge Monday and was set to take effect Thursday.
Politico: Court Blocks Arizona 20-Week Abortion Ban From Taking Effect
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction that will block an Arizona law banning abortion after 20 weeks from going into effect this week. Responding to an emergency appeal filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights and the ACLU after a federal district court judge upheld the law on Monday, the circuit court Wednesday temporarily blocked the law from being implemented on Aug. 2 while the court considers the case against it (Smith, 8/1).
The Associated Press: U.S. appeals court blocks Ariz. 20-week abortion ban
A federal appeals court on Wednesday temporarily prohibited Arizona from enforcing its new ban on most abortions starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its order two days after a trial judge ruled that the ban could take effect Thursday as scheduled (Davenport, 8/1).
Reuters: U.S. Appeals Court Blocks Arizona's New Late-Term Abortion Ban
A federal appeals court blocked Arizona on Wednesday from enforcing a new state ban on most late-term abortions that opponents say is the toughest in the nation, and agreed to an expedited review of the controversial measure. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the injunction two days after a federal judge upheld the ban and threw out a lawsuit brought against the Republican-backed law, which was due to go into effect on Thursday (Schwartz, 8/1).
Arizona Republic: Appeals Court Blocks Arizona's 20-Week Abortion Ban
The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction Wednesday blocking implementation of Arizona's new law that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The law was to take effect today. With the injunction in place, the restrictions in the Mother's Health and Safety Act cannot be enforced until the San Francisco-based appeals court hears the case, likely in late October or early November, and issues a ruling (Pitzl, 8/1).
Bloomberg: Arizona Law Criminalizing Some Abortions Blocked for Now
An Arizona law that makes it a crime for doctors to perform abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy was blocked from taking effect today by the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco while a lower-court order is appealed. The appeals court ruled on a so-called emergency request to halt the law from three doctors who lost a lawsuit alleging the rule was preempted by the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. A federal judge in Phoenix upheld the statute July 30, ruling that Arizona showed credible evidence that an unborn child may feel pain during such procedures (Gullo and Harris, 8/2).
CNN: Federal Court Blocks Arizona Abortion Law
The law was scheduled to go into effect Thursday, and a federal judge in Phoenix earlier this week had allowed it to go into effect. That prompted an emergency request for "injunctive relief" to the appeals court by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights, on behalf of three patients and their physicians. Those groups said in their successful emergency appeal the ban would force doctors to wait until a woman with a high-risk pregnancy was close to death or would suffer major medical damage before terminating a high-risk pregnancy (Mears, 8/1).

Outstanding with very well intentioned staff.
My son and daughter were registered and attended this particular private school, and I was impressed not so much with the facility but the teaching methods that were instilled on the students. My two kids were taught not only the academics but religious aspects which are practice in the home as well. I found my kids were also tutored one on one when their grades were not so good. The Teachers also were very nice, highly motivated and appeared to be inspired by the kids ambitions to learn. Today, my two children are enrolled elsewhere, and are maintaining a 3.3 GPA or better. I credit there a lot of there success to the teachings of the St. Francis Schools and the special credit to the exceptional stellar faculty staff.

A second domain concentrates on writing media histories. I use the plural in order to indicate that different media histories can be written, ranging from histories of media techniques to histories of mentalities. Of special interest, in my view, is a type of history which concentrates on changes evoked by the advent of a new medium in the private, as well as in the public sphere. Another important research area may be designated as a cultural history of media. Here research would concentrate upon the co-evolution of media and communication, the emergence of macro forms of communication such as literature, journalism, public relations and advertising, the rise of new genres, e.g., together with the development of the internet such as chats, blogs, twitter, social networks, video platforms (You- Tube), etc., or forms of canonization. In this area single media offers are analyzed from a theoretical perspective of difference, i.e., in an interdisciplinary manner. In my view, this is the framework where literary studies ought to be located. Literary texts as special media offers produced and treated by a special social system, namely the literary system, play a specific role compared to all other media offers with regard to all relevant perspectives. Their production, distribution, reception, and postprocessing on the one hand differs from that of other media offers, on the other hand it has to be redefined with the advent of any new media system. Print, radio, television, or the internet have changed the material, communicative, and emotional conditions of all individual and social processes in which literary phenomena play a role. New genres such as computer poetry arise (see, e.g., Block, Heibach, Wenz; Hartling), literary texts are stored on and retrieved from the internet, literary phenomena have to compete with computer games, and there is the option to publish literary texts on the internet, etc.

New Orleans's Gender-Bending Rap
The most insane thing about this article is that a reporter from the NYT was at a club one block away from my house. If you knew where I lived you would also be surprised.
(via mardisonsharkel)
Abandoned Six Flags Amusement Park Tour
E.J. Bellocq - Untitled (c.1911-13)
From the Storyville Portraits series
The Rev. Grant Storms, the Christian fundamentalist known for his bullhorn protests of the Southern Decadence festival in the French Quarter, was arrested on a charge of masturbating at a Metairie park Friday afternoon.
Storms, 53, of 2304 Green Acres Road in Metairie, was taken into custody at Lafreniere Park after two women reported seeing him masturbating in the driver's seat of his van, which was parked near the carousel and playground, a Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office report said.
The first woman told deputies she was taking her children to the playground and parked next to the van at about noon. As she was walking around her own vehicle, she noticed the van windows were down and the occupant was "looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down…," the report said. The woman noted that he was masturbating and quickly ushered her children out of her car.
She told a second woman, who walked to the van and also spotted the man masturbating, the report said. The second witness told deputies that the driver saw her and tried to conceal the zipper area of his pants with his hand.
The two women flagged down a park employee who notified the Sheriff's Office. The employee detained the man, later identified as Storms, until deputies arrived.
Storms told deputies he was having lunch at the park when he decided to urinate using a bottle instead of the restroom, the report said.
Deputies booked him with obscenity. Bond was set at $5,000, but he was released from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on Sunday because of jail crowding.
Storms could not be reached for comment on Monday.
A self-styled "Christian patriot," Storms led a small West Bank congregation called The Reformer Church and for 10 years hosted "The Reformer Radio Show" on WSHO. Storms has railed against the Roman Catholic church, calling it "satanic" and "demonic."
He is especially known for arming followers with bullhorns, Bibles and picket signs to protest Southern Decadence, the three-day gay festival held in the French Quarter during Labor Day weekend. Storms grabbed national attention in 2003 with his failed attempts to shut down what Southern Decadence organizer Chuck Robinson called a peaceful festival that celebrates gay and alternative lifestyles.
"He's done everything through the years to disturb that and try to make it into something nasty that it's not," Robinson said. "If the Rev. Storms is caught doing that in our city, it is ludicrous and heinous that he would have the nerve to complain about any kind of sexuality."View full size
The amplified antics of Storms and his followers prompted the New Orleans City Council to adopt ordinances banning the use of megaphones and other such devices in the French Quarter, though the law requires a certain decibel meter reading before it can be enforced.
Earl Bernhardt, co-owner of The Tropical Isles and two other Bourbon Street clubs, got a temporary restraining order against Storms during Southern Decadence 2004, then went bullhorn to bullhorn with him when that didn't work.
"He's, in my opinion, just repulsive," Bernhardt said Monday. "I'm not surprised at all that he got caught doing that. Serves him right. He'll be out of our hair down here."

My boyfriend and I will be here later this month! Can't wait!
Oh New Orleans. There is this gorgeous and terrifying mansion (with a gravestone in the yard!) a block away from me, that is for sale for, like, $65,000. Who wants to be my neighbor?
Just a quick note to say that I've been out at the parades since 5 am, and l'll be pic spamming hard core later tonight. I've lived in new Orleans since I was 12 , and Mardi GRAS has always been a really family fun event for me. I go set up where it's all little kids running around and we're out here with an ice chest full of sodas and sandwiches. I know lots of people think it's all boob flashing and trashy frat boy stuff but it's really not. Everyone's out here grilling burgers and hot dogs. I love it here so much; it reminds me why i can never leave the city, even though life here is gritty and hard, so much of the time. Also, this year I'm dressed as a glamorous elephant!

A one-word answer was enough.
Did Ray Emery have his best game with the Blackhawks in their 4-1 victory Friday against the Calgary Flames?
"Yeah," coach Joel Quenneville said.
Emery inexplicably was left out of the postgame three stars after making 24 saves for his third victory of the season. But he was the Hawks' best player Friday as the team won on back-to-back nights and looked ready to leave its recent rough stretch behind.
"We were joking we thought he'd be one of the stars of the game," Jonathan Toews said. "We definitely thought he deserved it. He stepped in there when we needed him to. It was a big game for him tonight. That breakaway chance in the second period, he made a big stop there."
The save Toews mentioned was Emery's stop on Flames winger Curtis Glencross, who got loose for a breakaway after a turnover by defenseman Steve Montador at the blue line late in the second. A goal would have made it 2-1 with plenty of time left, possibly changing the complexion of the game.
"It was a huge save, very timely," Quenneville said. "He was big in a lot of ways tonight. They were around the net. They played a strong game. That was a very huge save at that time because the game was pretty even. That could have turned it around."
Emery also was strong in the early going. The Hawks seemed sluggish after their victory Thursday in Columbus, Ohio, and turned the puck over often.
"We were a little careless with the puck early in the first five minutes of the game," Quenneville said. "I thought Ray had a special game for us. He was big in getting us two points."
The Flames made it interesting when Olli Jokinen made it 2-1 halfway through the third on a set play after a faceoff win. But Marian Hossa (two assists) set up Viktor Stalberg with a beautiful feed six minutes later to secure the victory.
Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook (power play) scored their first goals of the season as the defense was a big factor in the offense for the second consecutive game. Kane had an empty-netter in the final seconds, Patrick Sharp had three assists and Daniel Carcillo added two.
The Hawks' defense also did a strong job of cleaning up the loose pucks around Emery as the game went on.
"They throw it to the net and whack at pucks," Emery said. "There were definitely pucks there. The 'D' did a good job of letting me see the puck, and when there were rebounds there, taking them away."
There were other positives in the victory. The Hawks' power play, while still lethargic at times, produced for the second consecutive game, and their penalty kill was able to kill off Niklas Hjalmarsson's first-period tripping penalty, their only penalty of the game.
But the victory was about Emery improving to 3-0-1 and lowering his goals-against average to 2.70.
"I've played once a week or so, and I expect to come out with a lot of energy," Emery said. "A lot of times that's the reason why you're playing the second game [of a back-to-back], because you can bring some extra energy to the group that's traveled and played the night before."

Income gap: What would Jesus do?
- 10:23 pm Wednesday, December 4th, 2013 by Rhonda Swan
No Jesus, No Peace. Know Jesus. Know Peace.
I noticed those words on a bumper sticker today, and it got me wondering why so many Christians, who by the very definition of the word should know Jesus, seem not to really know Him.
That Pope Francis would garner so much attention – especially negative attention – for saying that we should care for the poor is evidence.
The pope speaks to a hunger among us for a conversation about what matters. Caring for those less fortunate is at the core of every major religion because caring for each other is what matters. That was the Gospel of Jesus.
"Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless,' Pope Francis wrote in his first apostolic exhortation. "As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape."
President Obama addressed those issues today in a speech about income inequality.
"I believe this is the defining challenge of our time," Obama said at an event hosted by the Center for American Progress, a pro-Obama think tank. "It drives everything I do in this office."
He said we can close the increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots by raising the minimum wage, improving education and implementing the Affordable Care Act.
For all its flaws – and there are plenty – the Affordable Care Act is about providing insurance to those who can't afford it so they can get health care. If the so-called greatest country in the world is not going to have national health care for all of its citizens like so many other countries in the world do, then shouldn't it at least provide affordable health care? If not this law, then what law? If not now, when? We've been trying to do this since Jesus was a baby.
Is Obama right that income disparity is a threat to the country?
- 2:51 pm Monday, July 29th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
During a rare interview Saturday with The New York Times, President Barack Obama made a pitch for his economic policies by saying that the income and wealth gap in the United States represents a threat to the country.
"If we don't do anything," the president said, "then growth will be slower than it should be. Unemployment will not go down as fast as it should. Income inequality will continue to rise. That's not a future that we should accept."
The numbers support the idea of a widening gap between the rich and the rest of the America. Between 2009 and 2011, the [More]

One of the perks of being the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide is an endorsement contract with Coca-Cola. The world's more popular soft drink was set decoration on the old 'Bear' Bryant Show, and Bryant's likeness was featured on commemorative bottles decorating mobile homes across the state.
Even former coach Bill Curry got in on the act, as evidenced by this gem from 1988, preserved through the miracle of YouTube.
The spot features clips of Curry chatting it up with some townfolks, likely at a time when he should have been game planning for Auburn. His immaculate hair is an engineering miracle, and is clearly the star of the spot.
The commercial also features various 1980s fashion mistakes, like the "punk" that is basically a bro with a mullet that's been spray painted Coca-Cola red; the cute co-ed in the Coke rugby shirt and jorts; and a whole lot of short shorts and high-waisted jeans.
The Internet is proof that you cannot escape your past, and in Alabama's case, the past includes the tenure of one Bill Curry.

Alabama Crimson Tide running back Eddie Lacy is considered to be one of the top running back prospects in this year's draft class, but he is beginning to fall out of favor with NFL scouts because of his unwillingness to run for the scouts.
Lacy has been nursing a hamstring issue that kept him from running and properly being evaluated at the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine and Alabama's Pro Day, and now scouts are beginning to wonder whether Lacy is downplaying his injury or just afraid of recording a slow time.
Per NFL Draft insider Tony Pauline:
The frustration over Eddie Lacy/RB/Alabama and the fact he's pushed his workout back to April 11th is beginning to boil over. Scouts are questioning whether Lacy is too injured to run or just too slow.
Lacy will need to perform at his personal Pro Day and record an impressive time if he hopes to land in the first 32 picks of the 2013 NFL Draft.
If he comes up with a slow time, he will likely blame his nagging injury, but that excuse isn't going to fly for much longer.
With the draft rapidly approaching, teams need to find out everything they can about their potential draft picks, so it's time for Lacy to ante up and show that he isn't trying to hide a flaw in his game.
