The diamonds are appraised and measured by all the normal standards.

A Tiffany setting is 6 pronged setting - the usual standard is 4 prongs. No one going to Costco actually thinks they're literally getting a diamond ring from Tiffany's. There are no blue boxes being sold or anything like that. The only question that I have is if Tiffany's trademarked the 6 prong setting, but I highly doubt it. Sounds like they're just being jerks and looking for some press.Bridgethttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-80013631471711415672013-02-15T14:01:24.130-08:002013-02-15T14:01:24.130-08:00We bought our wedding sets at Costco... after doin...We bought our wedding sets at Costco... after doing a lot of research (retail, outlet mall, estate, custom jeweler, etc.), no other company came close in offering the quality of diamond & setting that we got from there. It was also a "tiffany-style" ring. We paid close to $10k (not cheap) and the ring is valued at closer to $20K. We did it online and it arrived via courier two days later. I would rate the whole experience as very, very good. Oh! And because we used our Costco American Express card, we got an insane bonus back the following year. Win=Win. Costco has a policy of only adding 11% I think to any item it sells, they make their money in volume.

It cost me 125 bucks. But I have/had enough to give some to my mom for her cooking. And I brought a bunch to work for co-workers. Insane amount of veggies, probably about 25 to 30 lbs.

The Costco in Concord, Ca said "Tiffany Setting" on the sign. My friend is proposing to his girlfriend sometime soon, so I walked by and remember seeing the sign and checking out a few rings for him.

Love Costco. Because that unholy, terrible, Monsanto of the brewing world - AB InBev trying to buy Grupo Modelo, Costco has stoppped carrying Bud, Bud Light, Stella and Modelo citing the fact that AB Inbev was trying to shake them down. Had a hug sign over their beer display.

The tip-offs to Costco consumers would have been no Tiffany mark on the inside of the rings, and no turquoise Tiffany boxes.

And while I've never bought diamonds from Costco, I have bought several pieces of simple gold jewelry for myself and as gifts, and none of it has turned anyone's fingers or ears green.

In all seriousness, I highly doubt Costco is trying to 'rip off' the Tiffany name. They are very well known to be highly ethical, etc. The contrast between Sam's Club and Costco is incredibly huge. Sam's Club is a poor man's Costco. And Costco is NOT cheap. Some of the items may be cheaper, but seriously, can you EVER leave there with spending less than $100?!

David L. Spector of the Cold Springs Harbor Lab (CSHL), a scientist long known for his pioneering work in live cell imaging of the nucleus and its surprisingly fluid geography and population, has been named to a pair of prestigious memberships, one in the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the other in EMBO, the European Molecular Biology Organization. Spector, who is both a professor and Director of Research at CSHL, has been an ASCB member since 1980. He chaired the ASCB Annual Meeting program committee in 2008 and served on ASCB's governing Council from 2010 to 2012.
The first line of Franklin Carrero-Martínez's CV is a showstopper—"Scientist, Diplomat and Educator with a Ph.D. in Neurobiology." But he comes by all of it honestly. As of this writing, Carrero- Martínez, who is in his second year as a AAAS Science & Technology (S&T) Policy Fellow, is in Mexico City. He has been officially posted for two months to the U.S. Embassy there by the U.S. State Department to advise on Environment, Science, Technology and Health (ESTH) issues, including working on a Mexican version of our Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) technology transfer program. It's a policy level program to encourage Mexican researchers to bring new ideas out of their academic laboratories and into real world applications. U.S. President Barack Obama and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto agreed on sharing this and other technology ideas in talks last May. As a Senior Science Policy Advisor in the Office of the Science and Technology Advisor to the Secretary (STAS for those keeping acronym score), Carrero- Martínez is in Mexico City to make it happen.
Before that, Carrero-Martínez held the Pakistan S&T portfolio at both the U.S State Department and the U.S. National Academies of Science. That was during his first year in Washington as a Roger Revelle Fellow in Global Stewardship, a special AAAS policy fellowship program for early career faculty. As a Revelle Fellow, Carrero-Martínez was free to find his own placements. He ended up with two and with two offices—one at the State Department and one at the U.S. National Academy of Science (NAS). In both places, Carrero-Martínez picked up the Pakistan S&T portfolio, which was an orphan. "I guess no one wanted Pakistan because it was so hard. But I found it not to be too difficult. I guess I enjoy the higher adrenalin of dealing with complex issues and walking that line."
If cells were cars, then the three pioneering cell biologists just named winners of the 2014 E.B. Wilson Medal, the highest scientific honor of the American Society for Cell Biology, helped write the essential parts list. William "Bill" Brinkley of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, John Heuser of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and Peter Satir of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx identified crucial pieces of the cytoskeleton, the cell's shape-shifting framework, and showed how these elements drive life at the cellular level.
ASCB Women in Cell Biology committee member Ora Weisz, of the University of Pittsburgh, was inducted last week into Johns Hopkins University's (JHU) Society of Scholars. The Society recognizes accomplished former JHU postdoctoral fellows or visiting faculty who have gained marked distinction elsewhere. Just over 600 people have been inducted into the society since 1969. Weisz joined distinguished academics from around the world for an induction ceremony at JHU's Peabody Institute on April 7.
It was an all-or-nothing moment. Titia de Lange, a newly hired assistant professor at the Rockefeller University, had months of prep work and her entire grant's supply budget in hand as she waited to cross York Avenue, the busy north-south street on Manhattan's Upper East Side that separates Rockefeller from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where a collaborator was waiting to sequence de Lange's protein distillate. "We walked with all the protein we had from 1,500 liters of HeLa cells," de Lange recalled. "If we had tripped it would have been a problem. "It was a potentially self-destructive experiment, but it worked."
A yogurt producer with concerns, a puzzling aspect of bacterial genomes, a discussion over coffee, and a new MIT faculty member so youthful that he was mistaken for a freshman—these are a few links in the chain of discovery that led to CRISPR, today's hottest genetic rewriting technology. It stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and CRISPRs are changing biological research by making it easier than ever to edit genomes, opening whole fields to new possibilities in experiments and likely providing new treatments for complex diseases.
The University of Chicago (UChicago) and the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) have made their first joint research award since MBL became a UChicago affiliate last year to a group headed by ASCB member Clare Waterman with three other ASCB members as co-investigators. The Frank R. Lillie Research Innovation Award will support cross-disciplinary research at MBL in Woods Hole, MA, into integrin activation and actin dynamics during cell migration. The $125,000 award honors both MBL's 125th anniversary and Frank Lillie, who was chair of Zoology at UChicago and the second director of MBL in the early 20th century.
March is Women's History Month and both the Royal Society in the United Kingdom and the Smithsonian Institution Archives (SI Archives) in the United States scheduled Wikipedia "edit-a-thon" sessions to strengthen the online encyclopedia's inadequate coverage of women in science history. The Royal Society's event was last week but for the Smithsonian's there's still time to sign up and learn how to become a Wiki editor or go along in person to the Women In Science session on Tuesday, March 18, at the SI Archives offices in Washington.
For those who think scientific discoveries pop up overnight, consider Tom Rapoport's tale of the holiday carp and how it led him to study the translocation channel through which proteins, such as insulin, are secreted. Rapoport's latest discovery starts with a fish 30 years ago and ends, or at least continues, this month with a publication in Nature of the first x-ray structure of an open protein translocation channel.
John Pringle has been going to different sorts of meetings this last decade. He is still a regular at the ASCB Annual Meeting and at smaller yeast biology gatherings. Indeed he was in New Orleans for the ASCB Annual Meeting in December to receive the E.B. Wilson Medal, the ASCB's highest scientific honor, for his pioneering work on cell polarization and cytokinesis. But Pringle also goes, when he can, to the International Coral Reef Symposium, the Society for Microbial Ecology, and the International Symbiosis Society. He still has a small yeast group in his lab although his other interests have represented the majority since 2007. He is becoming known at these marine biology and ecology meetings, but Pringle says that he wishes there were more cell biologists there. John Pringle aims to correct that.

LEDs come in waterproof and non-waterproof applications. To choose the right LED strip light, first assess the conditions that the LED lights will be subjected to. Will they be indoor? Outdoor? Rainy areas? Desert climate? etc.IP ratings measure the amount of protection flexible LED strip lights get from the elements.
IP ratings are here to specify the amount of protection the LED received from the elements. The IP stands for Ingress Protection. Each IP rating has 2 numbers. The first number refers to the protection against solid objects (dust, etc) and the second number refers to liquid protection. Look below for our chart on IP Ratings. Our 5050 LED strip light and 3528 LED strip lights come waterproof or non waterproof!
Example :With an IP65 , The LEDs can be used in an outside setting and are water-resistant, but they are not waterproof and are not OK to be submerged. An IP68 can be submerged in water.
Note: These flexible LED strips are not to be used in or around chlorinated or salt water, waterproof LEDs are fully submersible in untreated water.
Waterproof LEDs also have higher protection against foot traffic. Example would be movie theater aisles, yard pathways, staircases, restaurant bars, club floors, yacht deck lighting. Our waterproof LED flexible strip lights are perfect for bathroom or kitchen applications. Undercabinets near showers, sinks, or other high splash areas. These LED strip lights can be placed just about anywhere.
Each of Flexfire LEDs LED flexible strip lights are rated with an IP number. Still confused? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

About the Book
A cross between The Handmaid's Tale and Wicked, with a dash of Grimm and Disney thrown in, Stray is part coming-of-age story, part fairy tale, part adventure, part sweet romance.
Stray tells the story of Aislynn, a princess who misbehaves and must give up her royal trappings and enter a life of service as a fairy godmother. Will Aislynn remain true to her vows and her royal family, and turn away from everything she longs for? Or will she stray from The Path and discover her own way? Epic, rewarding, and provocative, Stray will appeal to readers of Entwined, by Heather Dixon; to those who grew up watching the Disney princess movies; and to fans of the acclaimed musicals Into the Woods and Wicked.
Princess Aislynn has long dreamed about attending her Introduction Ball, about dancing with the handsome suitors her adviser has chosen for her, about meeting her true love and starting her happily ever after.
When the night of the ball finally arrives and Nerine Academy is awash with roses and royalty, Aislynn wants nothing more than to dance the night away, dutifully following the Path that has been laid out for her. She does not intend to stray.
But try as she might, Aislynn has never quite managed to control the magic that burns within her—magic brought on by wicked, terrible desires that threaten the Path she has vowed to take.
After all, it is wrong to want what you do not need. Isn't it?

Excellent quality, matches my existing pulls.
New glass pulls look great.
These pulls match perfectly with my kitchen decore. I mixed and matched different glass pulls and knobs. Very whimsical!
Love the pulls. Good quality. Mixed in with old ones to get the number I needed. Only draw back is the length of the screws. New cabinet drawers attached to the drawer box made the screws too short. Really need 2 3/4" - 3" screws. We had to drill recess area inside the drawer in order to attach the nut. We searched high and low and could not find this type of screw in a length to use them otherwise. Our contractor couldn't find them either so he finally came and drilled the recess so we could use the pulls.
Much better than the ones we had purchased two years ago. They were poorly designed and started falling apart. These are of a sturdier design, although I think the'd be better with hexagonal nuts instead of the square nuts that are provided. Washers should also be provided.

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis continues to be a hot topic this offseason, as fans and teams alike are wondering if the Jets will deal Revis. It seems like the Jets are willing to deal Revis if it will help the team in the long run, but they will certainly be cautious about it and look for the best deal possible. If there are no deals that are up to their standard, then the Jets will just keep their star.
An agent told ESPN New York that there is no chance of Darrelle Revis getting traded before the 2013 NFL Draft. The agent also told Rich Cimini that no team will be willing to give Revis $16 million per year, because he is a cornerback (it might also be because he is coming off of a serious injury). Revis is a great player, but it does look like he is overvaluing himself. The highest-paid defensive player in the league is also making $16 million per year, and he also plays in the AFC East. That man? Last year's big free agent signing; Mario Williams of the Buffalo Bills.
The reason why there is "not a chance" of Revis getting dealt before the draft is due to the lack of cap space around the league. The flat cap has made it difficult for many teams, but teams like the New England Patriots that planned ahead for this are looking good.
The New York Jets won't be re-signing starting running back Shonn Greene due to their cap issues, but he will be an attractive free agent catch for teams in need of a running back. According to Cimini (same piece), Greene is expected to "draw interest" from the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons; both teams in need of another RB.

from John Lloyd:
Maybe don't give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses
As we saw last week, Africans are desperately risking, and losing, their lives in the struggle to get into Europe. They come above all from the war-afflicted states of Eritrea, Somalia and Syria. They trek to Libya (itself now increasingly in bloody turmoil, a Spring long gone) or Tunisia, and from there seek a boat to the island of Lampedusa, the southernmost piece of Italian soil, nearer to the north African coast than it is to Sicily.
The emigrants pay up to 1,000 euros to traffickers, who sometimes take their money and disappear, sometimes pack hundreds of them into fishing boats, which might normally carry a dozen men. From there they set off to cover the 80 or so miles to the lovely island, a luxurious resort with some of the best beaches on the planet, and now the fevered hope of some of the world's poorest.
At the end of last week, a 66-foot ship with upwards of 500 of these people sank less than a mile from Lampedusa. More than 150 were rescued; as many as 350 may have drowned. Italy, mired in recession with burgeoning unemployment for all, and especially for the young, is no more generous to illegal emigrants than the rest of Europe, but the scale caused shock there and throughout the continent. Unlikely, though, that it will it cause a change in attitude.
The Mediterranean immigrants are not just fleeing poverty -- as emigrants, including millions from Italy in the past two centuries, have always done. They are fleeing death. The largest proportion of the Mediterranean immigrants come from Eritrea, Somalia and Syria. The plight of those three countries makes clear what their citizens are running from, even if it's unclear what they're running towards.

Rice: Hitting 'reset' on Africa talks
Michael O'Hanlon, in his Reuters Opinion piece, "In defense of Susan Rice" (Reuters, December 10, 2012), took issue with my New York Times op-ed article, "Susan Rice and Africa's Despots" (December 9, 2012).
Mine were not ad hominem attacks. It is fair to hold a public official accountable for her career and for the roles she played and continues to play in attempting to resolve African conflicts. I was not questioning U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice's desire for a more peaceful continent.

Ethiopia and Eritrea: An elusive peace on the cards?
By Aaron Maasho
Ethiopia and Eritrea are still at each others' throats. The two neighbours fought hammer and tongs in sun-baked trenches during a two-year war over a decade ago, before a peace deal ended their World War I-style conflict in 2000. Furious veRed Sea, UNrbal battles, however, have continued to this day.
Yet, amid the blistering rhetoric and scares over a return to war, analysts say the feuding rivals are reluctant to lock horns once again. Neighbouring South Sudan and some Ethiopian politicians are working on plans to bring both sides to the negotiating table.

Is Israel right in deporting African migrants
Israel this week started deporting a planeload of migrants to South Sudan early on Monday, the first of a series of weekly repatriation flights intended as a stepping stone to dealing with much greater influxes of migrants from Sudan, Eritrea and Ivory Coast.
About 60,000 Africans have crossed into Israel across its porous border with Egypt in recent years. Israel says the vast majority are job seekers, disputing arguments by humanitarian agencies that they should be considered for asylum.

A 'day of rage' in Ethiopia?
Ethiopia's handful of TV channels are not carrying much news lately. Instead, broadcasters are spending most of their time covering every phase of the construction of a new mega dam along the country's Nile waters.
From mawkish ballads to patriotic poems and documentaries, programmes are waxing eloquently about how far the impoverished African nation has come since the dreaded Communist junta was toppled two decades ago, by defying Egyptian pressure and embarking on a massive project from its own coffers.

Ethiopia/Eritrea: Another war?
Ethiopia is beating the war drums again. After a lull of more than a decade, the Horn of Africa giant is now threatening to attack its neighbour and foe Eritrea over claims it is working to destabilise the country.
When Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said his country would no longer take a passive stance towards Eritrea, it marked an escalation in the bitter war of words that has ensued since a devastating border spat ended in 2000.
from Africa News blog:
Is Eritrean policy shift just "tactical"?
Eritrea's arms seem to have been folded in a sulk for a long time now. The Red Sea state has, for some, taken on the black sheep role in the Horn of Africa family. But President Isaias Afewerki is looking eager to get off the naughty step.
His opponents say he was put there for good reason. Eritrea became increasingly isolated in the region after a 1998 – 2000 border war with neighbouring - and much bigger – Ethiopia.

Where is Lemlem?
It's one of those photos. The type you can't get out of your head. There's just something about it that draws you in. You keep coming back to look again.
It could be because she's beautiful. Dark brown eyes, gently rounded cheeks, bundles of black curls held atop her head by a carefully tied scarf, the start of a smile she's trying to suppress, a smile you know will charm when set free.
from Africa News blog:
Mining and free trade in Eritrea
Eritrea's President Isaias Afwerki has guarded his country jealousy since independence, pushing a self-reliant attitude that encourages Eritreans to rebuild Eritrea for themselves.
But in order to develop the potentially lucrative mining and trade sectors, he will have to open up the country more to foreign money and therefore possible foreign influence.

FRIDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly your entire brain is
engaged in striving for success when you play games, according to a
new study.
The finding that many more brain regions besides the reward
centers activate in an attempt to win games, such as
rock-paper-scissors, makes sense in terms of evolution, the Yale
University researchers noted.
"Our brain functions to maximize the chance of survival and reproduction, so reward should be important for all cognitive functions, and thus most brain regions," lead author Timothy Vickery, a postdoctoral fellow in the psychology department, said in a university news release.
He and his colleagues used a special pattern analysis technique
to examine functional MRI scans of volunteers as they won and lost
games. The results showed that wins and losses were recognizable in
nearly all areas of the brain.
The study appears in the Oct. 6 issue of the journal
"We aren't saying that the dopamine network is not the core system of reward processing in the brain," Vickery said. "Our novel point is that this information makes its way throughout the entire brain in a much more far-reaching manner than previously thought."

workplace-based and military-based interventions that target underage populations;
interventions with youth who are currently drinking; and
research to further refine understanding of the multiple interrelated factors that affect underage drinking and long-term outcomes.
Some of the committee's recommendations, especially those in Chapters 7 and 8, are addressed to the private sector; they do not entail any public expenditure and, for the most part, require little more than commercial self-restraint. Similarly, some of the recommendations directed to the government in this chapter do not involve significant new expenditures. The data collection and monitoring needed to implement the overall strategy are unlikely to entail substantial new costs, although the proposed data collection efforts may require consideration of the value and opportunity costs of the data proposed in comparison with the data that are currently collected. Similarly, the committee's recommendation (in Chapter 10) that resources for school-based programs be explicitly targeted at programs with elements of proven effectiveness will entail a shift of funding rather than significant new expense. And the committee's recommendations for research are an effort to identify policy-relevant priorities for research funding agencies, both private and public, and do not necessarily involve new funding.
Several components of the proposed strategy will require new investment, at the federal, state, or community levels: the adult-centered media campaign (Chapter 6); improved enforcement of existing laws at the state and local levels (Chapter 9); community mobilization grants (Chapter 11); funding for prevention and treatment of adolescent alcohol use and abuse (above); and resources for HHS to monitor adolescent exposure to alcohol messages in advertising and entertainment media (above). Responsibility for funding the strategy could be shared by the federal and state governments and the industry-funded nonprofit foundation envisioned by the committee (Chapter 7). The necessary government contribution could be offset by revenue generated by increased federal and state alcohol excise taxes (above).
Available data do not allow the committee to make specific estimates of the costs of developing and implementing individual components of the strategy or the strategy as a whole. However, the actual costs of similar programs provide a starting point for gauging the likely cost of some components. For example, the Office of National Drug Control Policy's antidrug campaign and the American Legacy Foundation's anti-tobacco campaign each cost approximately $100 million per year for production and

I made the three tops especially for my mom. I will meet her on the vacations very soon, so I wanted to make something nice for her to wear. I just hope that she will like it and the tops will fit her nicely.
The first and second top based on Burdastyle Lace Dress 04/2013 size 44 with adjustment on the waist and hips area. And the third top based on Burdastyle Printed Tunic (plus size) 01/2013 size 44, but I only used the upper and the sleeve pattern.
I sew the button on the back of each top and added sleeve tabs for all of them.

from David Rohde:
Will a billion 'selfies' cause us to miss history?
This week, Ron Haviv described to me the first time one of his photographs changed history.
The acclaimed war photographer was surrounded by his life's work, which is now on exhibit in New York's Anastasia Photo gallery. At age 23, Haviv took a photograph of supporters of Panamanian dictator, General Manuel Noriega, beating the country's recently elected opposition vice president.
What is striking about the image is not just the crimson blood covering the man's shirt. It is the Panamanian soldier standing a few feet away -- doing nothing to protect him. The photograph appeared on the cover of Time, Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report. Months later, President George H.W. Bush cited the riveting image in his speech justifying the U.S. invasion of Panama.
"All of the sudden," said Haviv, a longtime colleague and friend, "I had this understanding that the work I was doing was going out into the world and creating and causing a reaction. It helped cement my desire to do this for a living."

At Chicago Sun-Times, portrait of a newspaper investor
It's not every day that you get people who are anxious to tell you that they're investing in newspapers, that great industry sector that took a swan dive into an empty swimming pool over the past couple years. Private equity firms that are getting into that game again are just that -- PRIVATE.
The latest buyers of the Chicago Sun-Times and parent company Sun-Times Media Group identified themselves on Friday, however, and we'd like to share their names with you too. Good luck with the newspaper game.

The New York Times tries local news, far away
If you read often enough about the supposed death of the newspaper business, you would think that the nation's newsrooms are increasingly depopulated, barren places, with darkened offices and empty cubicles... the occasional tumbleweed blowing past. (Actually, large stretches of Tribune Co's New York bureau look just like that, as I saw earlier this year).
In San Francisco, Chicago and other metropolitan centers, you would be wrong. It's true that both cities bear unfortunate marks of how rough the advertising decline, rise of the Internet and financial crisis have treated their news operations: Hearst was toying with shutting down the San Francisco Chronicle, and Chicago's leading daily papers, the Tribune and the Sun-Times, are owned by bankrupt companies. Improbably enough, both are turning into hot spots for local news competition.
from MediaFile:
Wall Street Journal finds friend in Chicago
...And we're not talking about Tribune Chief Executive Sam Zell. We Mean Coleen Davison, private citizen, and resident of Chicago, Illinois.
The Wall Street Journal turned a letter from Davison, a former Chicago Tribune subscriber, into an advertisement -- that it tried to run in the Trib. Trouble is, that paper declined to run the ad. Now, it's running in the Chicago Sun-Times, the Trib's rival.
from MediaFile:
Sam Zell 'chastises' his intern
Tribune Co.'s new owner, billionaire and orator nonpareil Sam Zell, let Chicago Tribune intern Katie Hamilton know exactly what he thought about her recent prank on rival paper the Chicago Sun-Times -- one that has produced its fair share of chatter in the Windy City.
Hamilton and her colleagues submitted a music video that they sent to the Sun-Times, which offered a cash prize to whomever could produce the best video protesting Zell's plan to sell the naming rights to the city's historic Wrigley Field.

Lists. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. That goes for all sports, NFL included. We find them subjectivity nauseating… yet the reward of team-wide, or in this case individual player recognition makes us giddy like it's Christmas morning.
89 names have been revealed in the NFL Network top-100 players of 2014, and there still hasn't been a Giants player tabbed since Antrel Rolle at #72. While the rankings aren't necessarily alleged to reflect football reality, Giants defensive end Jason Pierre Paul has not been impressed with the selection process. To quote JPP's instagram account:
"Now WTF is wrong with this list? Don't get me wrong all these guys are great players, but come on now! I see a lot of players who's not on this list that should be, but that's none of my business ☕
Following the Giants Super Bowl XLVI rampage, JPP slotted in at a cool #24 on the NFL's 2012 list. And rightfully so. Now… it appears he's berating the quality exclusions to the list rather than fighting for his own inclusion, but given his past two campaigns, Pierre-Paul would be best served to let his on-field performance do the talking.
Speaking of slights, we once again present you Eli Manning! ESPN Insider journalist, Mike Sando, created quarterback tiers using NFL-wide input from "eight general managers, two former GMs, four pro personnel evaluators, seven coordinators, two head coaches, two position coaches and a top executive". The results on Eli's status weren't pretty:
"He is really a two when you supply him with the right weapons," a head coach said. "He is a guy that has the ultimate trust in a big wide receiver."
"I see Eli having a hard time generating things on his own," one GM said. "I don't see a great decision-maker. He has never struck me as a take-charge, carry-the-team type of guy."
"Eli can go from a championship quarterback to throwing five interceptions in one game," an offensive coordinator said.
Suffice it so say, if Eli Manning doesn't enter 2014 with a chip on his shoulder, he probably never will. He is getting absolutely slaughtered in the national media. And speaking of Eli, don't miss our friendly battle with Predominately Orange and Naptown's Finest. Since all Eli news is currently iffy, why not something positive and a little fun:
QB Battles: Eli Manning vs Peyton Manning vs Andrew Luck
Enjoy! Happy Independence Day , Giants Nation! Be safe out there.

I would have to say no, from a personal perspective.
It was fun the first month, two months top, especially the first time you progress through the campaign, that is really epic. But it did not take me long to get bored of PvP in StarCraft 2, which is the central part of the game. I stopped after a month, and can't stand a single match anymore.
From your OP, it sounds like you never played SC1, so I am guessing from a story standpoint you are not interested in the series.
From a Gameplay perspective SCII is a good RTS, the downside is it takes a heavy amount of processing power and you will run into slow performance alot in games that are 6 player +
Personally, I couldnt get into SCII that much, since it felt too different from the Original SC1 gameplay, but I did like the custom map settings games. Only downside I think is most modders in the community are lacking in creativity in comparison to the thousands of different types of games that existed in WCIII.
Other than that, if you are looking for a new RTS experience SCII is not a bad purchase.

Worth it. The game itself is great, the only mild disappointment is b.net 2.0 around it. Compared to Warcraft III, Blizzard cut b.net created tournaments, race stats, map stats, clan support. The campaign is very good, if you intend to play multiplayer online it's a must have game. Coming from somebody who thinks both Cata and Diablo III (in its current state) are garbage.
The game is great, you can try the Starcraft II 1.5 Arcade Beta, it's free and see if you'll like it or not
Rufflesaurus <Huhuholics> Tarren Mill EU
Very worth it. If you enjoyed WC3, then there's little reason for you not to enjoy Starcraft 2. Some mechanics are kind of similar to the races you may be used to. e.g. the zerg's creep is similar to blight, and terran can lift some buildings like the night elves could uproot. It won't feel too out of place, in my opinion, and there are just as large a variety of custom games for you to choose from in SC2!

It feels amazing to be a part of a club that's starting up after a 20 year hiatus. After a long semester, it's nice to know that we've reached the amount of members we did without being able to promote/ affiliate ourselves with CSUN. We're in the process of getting chartered as I type this, so we're going to have one amazing 'official' year next year! After seeing UCR's VCN, I really want to help this club reach great heights. I'm mostly thinking of running for President, Secretary, or External Vice President (ICC). Each one would be challenging, especially considering that I'll also be graduating, but lets face it, I work so much better under pressure. You guys should definitely check us out, I guarantee you that we're going to accomplish amazing things the next school year. Suit up!
PS This is about half the members, haha. We went on a hiking trip recently.

19 Bridge Street
Opening hours:
Please click here to see a brief history of We Three Kings
The gallery workshop in Bridge Street is where Bill and Nikki Maddocks design and make beautiful pieces of jewellery at the bench. You can buy pieces from their limited ranges on show but the options are endless as they offer a specialist jewellery service. Their bespoke designs allows them to tailor the design and materials to suit your style and budget.
Bill is a goldsmith working in residence within the gallery and is happy to discuss design ideas. Appointments are free to discuss ideas and you are not committing yourself until you are happy with the design and the price. After that a deposit is required if you decide to have the piece made up. They work in gold, silver and platinum and can source practically any stones you require from the best quality diamonds to semi precious stones and beads. It is also possible to melt and reuse old gold if it has a sentimental value and old stones can be cleaned and reused to create a new, unique piece.
It takes approximately six weeks after designing to create the finished piece. Bill explains it is a privileged to be part of the journey starting with an idea , putting it on paper , working it through all the processes, sending it to the Assay Office where it is tested and stamped with the makers mark and finally presenting it to the customer in its box. Every piece has it own story. They make jewellery for all types of occasions and appreciate it can sometimes be difficult for customers to be confident when having a piece made for a surprise so they offer a service where you can present a sketch in a box allowing the design and materials to evolve so the final piece is exactly what you want. Another option is to choose a stone which can be given in a presentation box and you can come in and design the piece together.
Working closely with other specialist trades enables them to offer hand engraving and an assortment of other services including casting, plating and stone cutting of the highest quality.
We Three Kings also offers to service and repair your jewellery whether
it is a general check up or complete overhaul.
The skills used in creating jewellery largely remained unchanged for hundreds of years, the art of goldsmithing dates back over 5000 years and is the earliest form of metalworking.
We Three Kings is situated in a 17th Century listed building once
occupied by Early's of Witney, manufacturers of the famous blanket in the
Cotswold market town of Witney, Oxfordshire.

Up for auction is a beautiful Pewter ZINN plate, made in Germany, of a nursery scene. It has a place for a personalized inscription and would make a wonderful addition to a baby's room! I believe this to be quite old because from a small amount of research I tried to do on the internet, if it has a percentage sign (% of pewter) then they are not very old. This plate does not have a percentage sign that I could locate. If anyone knows more about them and would like to advise please feel free, as I am not an expert by any means! :D It is in very good condition as you can see from the photos. It has a tab for hanging on the back.From nonsmoking home. Thank you for viewing my auction! Payment is expected within 7 days please, or item will be relisted. Thank you.

GULF OF MEXICO - NOAA has opened more than 16,000 square miles of previously closed fishing area off the Florida coast. The most significant opening is a 13,653-square mile area just west of the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas.
It was initially closed on June 2 as a precaution because oil was projected to be within the area over the next 48 hours. However, the review of satellite imagery, radar and aerial data indicated that oil had not moved into the area.
Additionally, the agency closed a 2,275-square mile area off the Florida panhandle federal-state waterline, extending the northern boundary just east of the western edge of Choctawhatchee Bay.
This federal closure does not apply to any state waters. Closing fishing in these areas is a precautionary measure to ensure that seafood from the Gulf will remain safe for consumers.
The closed area now represents 78,182 square miles, which is approximately 32 percent of Gulf of Mexico federal waters. This leaves approximately 68 percent of Gulf federal waters available for fishing. The closure will be effective at 6:00 p.m. EDT.
The last closed area modification was June 2, when 88,502 square miles were closed to fishing, or roughly 37 percent of federal waters of the Gulf.
Federal and state governments have systems in place to test and monitor seafood safety, prohibit harvesting from affected areas and keep oiled products out of the marketplace.
NOAA continues to work closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the states to ensure seafood safety, by closing fishing areas where tainted seafood could potentially be caught, and assessing whether seafood is tainted or contaminated to levels that pose a risk to human health.
NOAA and the FDA are implementing a broad-scaled seafood sampling plan. The plan includes sampling seafood from inside and outside the closure area, as well as market-based sampling.
According to NOAA, there are approximately 5.7 million recreational fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico region who took 25 million fishing trips in 2008. Commercial fishermen in the Gulf harvested more than 1 billion pounds of fish and shellfish in 2008.
Fishermen who wish to contact BP about a claim should call 800-440-0858.
NOAA will continue to evaluate the need for fisheries closures based on the evolving nature of the spill and will re-open closed areas as appropriate. NOAA will also re-evaluate the closure areas as new information that would change the boundaries of these closed areas becomes available.
NOAA has a number of new methods for the public to obtain information or be notified when there is a change to the closed area:
- Sign up to receive Southeast Fishery Bulletins by email at email@example.com;
- Call 1-800-627-NOAA (1-800-627-6622) to hear a recording of the current coordinates;
- Listen to NOAA Weather Radio for messages about the closure;
- Receive text messages on your cell phone about changes to the closed area by texting fishing@gulf to 84469 (visit DeepwaterHorizonResponse.com for more information);
- Follow NOAA on Twitter: USNOAAGov to get a tweet when the closed area changes.

MC Serch Says He Refuses "To Have Fighting" On His New Talk Show
MC Serch wants his show to go from "ratchetness to righteousness in 60 minutes."
Though MC Serch's new show, "Serch," focuses on conflict resolution, he doesn't foresee the conflict getting physical.
The show was announced early last week. "We refuse to have fighting on the show," said the Rap veteran in an interview with MTV News. "I'm not gonna have anybody calling anybody out their name.
Serch did qualify, however: "There's gonna be a certain of ratchetness we're gonna have," he said.
The first episode of the television show, Serch will confront a 22-year-old who has six children with four different women.
"We want to see the conflict and hear the conflict because that's appealing, but we want to get to the resolution," he said. "Use my life experiences, use what I've learned in my marriage, use what I've learned in therapy, use what I learned from my mom and dad, and help others on a path of getting their mind right."
"We go from ratchetness to righteousness in 60 minutes," he said.
Watch the interview below:

Uncertainty Prevails For Vertex
Balanced Investing • Thu, Sep. 11 • 13 Comments
- Thanks to Gilead's Sovaldi, the company has decided to call off Incivek from the market on the back of shrinking market share and substitute options available.
- The successful introduction of Incivek had pulled the company out of its heavy loss phase in 2011.
- The company plans to apply for authorization of TRAFFIC and TRANSPORT in the last quarter which is the first cure for the main cause of cystic fibrosis in individuals.
- The company's current leverage status may prove to be detrimental to the company's going concern status if the losses continue to occur.
- The near term future prospects seem rather uncertain for this company.

There's nothing I don't love about Gerard Depardieu renouncing his French citizenship and becoming a Russian because Gallic nonsense, Vladimir Putin and famous people who pee on airplanes are three of my very most favorite things!
As such, I was already excited enough to read Lauren Collins' in-depth profile of the actor when I spied it in this week's issue of The New Yorker. Then I realized it was actually a write-around. Make that one of the most elegant, clever and well-researched write-arounds I've read in aaaaages. It seriously matters not that she didn't get one direct quote from her subject when you're convulsing with glee over everything else she managed to unearth.
Obviously this called for a list.
1. "Nouns get all the good parts—potato, macaca, the Appalachian Trail—but this winter, in Paris, a jobbing three-syllable adjective set off a political scandal." (This was just the lede. I propose an inaugural Pulitzer for ledes, which will obviously be won by this sentence. Even an Ellie is fine with me if the Pulitzer people want to be snotty about it.)
2. "[Depardieu] had grown up poor, but free, and meat remained for him the avatar of prosperity. He was a Rabelaisian sensualist, not a Balzacian crook."
3. "He felt that Depardieu ought to be left alone in Belgium with his 'booze binges' and his chickens."
4. "Libération had owned the story since early last fall, when it ran a now famous front page featuring Bernard Arnault, the C.E.O. of the fashion conglomerate L.V.M.H. Arnault, France's richest man, had recently applied for Belgian nationality. The headline read, 'Casse-Toi, Riche Con!' (roughly, 'Get Lost, Rich Asshole!'), a play on a gaffe by Sarkozy, who once dismissed a heckler at an agricultural fair by saying, 'Casse-toi, pauvre con.' (Arnault is suing Libération for "extreme vulgarity and violence." He has said that he will continue to reside in France and pay taxes there.) Another cover pictured Depardieu, in a sort of contrapposto position, as'"Le Manneken Fisc.' This united, in a single pun, tax exile; the Manneken-Pis, a Brussels fountain with a urinating cherub; and a 2011 incident in which Depardieu soiled the carpet of an Air France jet." (Look, I know it's an entire paragraph but you try breaking up all that amazing. I did it for you.)
5. "On the ninth day, the actress Catherine Deneuve, in a sort of epistolary round-robin, squared off against Torreton. With regal condescension, she admonished him for attacking Depardieu, his better. 'You speak of his physique! His talent! 'This mess,' of which you speak. By what right, what democratic concern, do you make your filthy condemnation' Deneuve wrote. 'What you would have done in 1789, my body still trembles.'" (WHAT? Just stay with me.)
6. "The pigeons wrote letters, too. One was delivered on YouTube by an animated bird, who warbled sadly from the pavement against a backdrop of commuters' calves. 'Monsieur le Président," he sang, 'It's been years now / that I've worked like an ass / to augment my wealth / that I didn't steal / Unlike the others who have left / I had confidence / I stayed in France / and you betrayed me.'
7. "Morano, a reliable font of aggression (she was once filmed harassing a Senegalese-born street vender, telling him, 'We can't welcome all the Senegalese'), is lampooned in the French media as a poissonnière, or fishwife."
8. "…after a Vogue photo shoot, Depardieu calmed his nerves with 'a steak big enough for three, a huge slab of Roquefort, and two bottles of young red wine from his château.'"
9. "The next day, Brigitte Bardot swore that she would move to Russia, too, if a French court did not forestall plans to euthanize two tubercular elephants."
10. "Daniel Senesael, the mayor of Estaimpuis, had become a minor sensation in Francophone quarters. An irrepressible booster of the region, he once took off his pants at a gathering for local civil servants and belted out a song called 'Naked and Tanned All Over.'"

Great Health Tip of the Day: Intuitive Eating: Listen to your body!
May 11, 2012
Our body is designed to help us maintain a healthy weight through the feelings of hunger, thirst, and fullness. However, in today's world it is easy to ignore those signals. We eat when we are bored, sad, stressed, or happy. We forget what hunger feels like. We ignore feelings of fullness. We confuse the feeling of thirst with the feeling of hunger. We try fad diets. This week, get in tune with what your body is telling you by eating when you're hungry and stopping when you are full. Here are some tips:
- Before you eat, ask yourself, "Am I really hungry?"
- Eat when you are hungry! Don't ignore hunger pangs.
- Avoid handling your emotions with food.
- Make sure you drink plenty of water so you aren't confusing your thirst with hunger.
- Eat without distractions—don't watch TV, read, or drive. Focus on your food.
- Eat slowly and enjoy your food.
- Sit at a table to eat.
- Wait 10-15 minutes before a second helping. Then, if you are still hungry, go for it.
- If you want to eat dessert, start with a small portion and stop when your enjoyment of it diminishes. 1 or 2 bites might satisfy you!
