Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

September 2005
By Kevin Frye
As presented to an American Civil War chat on AOL
Andersonville, or Camp Sumter as it was
officially known, was one of the largest of many established prison camps during
the American Civil War. It was built early in 1864 after Confederate officials
decided to move the large number of Federal prisoners kept in and around
Richmond, Virginia, to a place of greater security and a more abundant food
supply. During the 14 months the prison existed, more than 45,000 Union Solders
were confined here. Of these, almost 13,000 died from disease, poor sanitation,
malnutrition, overcrowding, or exposure to the elements.
This site was authorized by Congress in October 1973 as a unit of the National park Service. For many years prior to this time, both the cemetery and prison site were administered by the Department of the Army. Between 1890 and 1910, the prison site was cared for by the Grand Army of the Republic, a Union veterans organization, and its auxiliary, the Woman's Relief Corps, as a memorial to the Andersonville prisoners. Of the approximately 45000 Union soldiers who were imprisoned at Andersonville, nearly 13,000 of them died during confinement. But why so many?
At the onset of the Civil War, neither side was prepared for a prolonged conflict. Both sides earnestly believed the war would be a short one. Therefore, no one really even considered the holding of the thousands of enemy soldiers who would eventually be taken prisoner.
As the war dragged on, the necessity of caring for these prisoners became more apparent and critical. At first, both sides used a parole system - in many instances right on the battlefield. The prisoners would state on their honor that they would go home and fight no more until officially exchanged. This system was soon found to be impractical, forcing both sides to hold their prisoners. A formal prisoner exchange system was devised in July of 1862. The system was governed by the Dix-Hill Cartel which specified the worth of each soldier by rank. However, the Cartel had many difficulties and soon broke down.
In addition, the Union discovered that it was to their advantage not to exchange prisoners. As a result, large prisons like Andersonville were established. The earliest camps for Union prisoners were in the around Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital. By 1863 the prisoner population in Richmond had grown to the point that it caused a serious drain on the city's dwindling food supply.
Richmond was under constant treat of attack and General Robert E. Lee pointed out that the Northern captives could prove to be a liability in the even of such an attack. The Confederate government began looking for alternative prison sites late in 1863. Eventually, Camp Sumter was built near the small southwest Georgia community of Andersonville which had a population of approximately twenty.
This site was finally chosen because of its proximity to the railroad, the presence of a creek to be used as the water supply, the mild climate, and abundance of natural building material and the reported availability of food in the surrounding area. In addition, southwestern Georgia at that time was far from the theater of war.
In January 1864, impressed Negro slaves from the nearby plantations began clearing the land. For the next six weeks, the clatter of axes, the crash of trees and the thud of shovels echoed as the sandy soil was stripped of its lofty pines. They cut the logs into twenty feet lengths then hewed them by hand so that they would fit closely together.
The timbers were then placed upright in a five feet deep trench. One prisoner's diary mentions that the wall timbers were so close together that he could not see the guard's fires through the walls at night. The first group of prisoners arrived on February 24, 1864 when only three walls had been completed. The fourth side between the gates had to be guarded with artillery until it was finished. The stockade, enclosing sixteen and a half acres, was originally planned to hold 6,000 prisoners but was built to accommodate 10,000. However, the prison's population had soared to 25,000 by June.
An expansion to ten acres was added to the northern end of the stockade and was opened July 1, 1864, bringing total acreage inside the prison walls to 26 ½ . Although 26 ½ acres seems like a large area, keep in mind that there were 33,000 men confined here during its peak population in August of 1864.
This was about the population of present-day Sumter County. At this population number, had Andersonville been a declared city, the stockade would have been the 5th largest populated city in the Confederacy.
In addition, there were about 4 acres of uninhabitable, boggy land along the stream. This understandably led to a rather crowded situation. As you circle the stockade, the outer concrete posts and stone markers will show you the outline of the enlarged stockade. The inner concrete posts mark the location of a small wooden railing.
The crude fence, known as the deadline, was established by prison authorities in late March, 1864 to make escape more difficult. The guards had orders to shoot any prisoner who ventured across the deadline. Spaced every 80-100 feet were 52 guard towers or "pigeon roosts" as they were commonly called by the prisoners.
Although we do not know the exact number killed at the deadline, we do know that most of the time it was strictly enforced. Two gates, both located on the west wall, provided access to the stockade. Each had two sets of doors and formed a small enclosure.
One set of doors opened to the stockade with the other opening to the outside. One set was always closed and they were strongly guarded at all times. New prisoners entered through the North Gate, located on the hillside north of stockade branch, where they got their first introduction to Andersonville Prison. Before entering, they were divided into detachments of 270 men, which were further divided into squads of 90 men and mess groups of 30 men for the purpose of receiving food rations.
John McElroy of the 16th Illinois Calvary wrote about his first sight of Andersonville: "Five hundred weary men moved slowly through double lines of guards. Five hundred men moved silently toward the gates that were to shut out life and hope for most of them forever.
A quarter of a mile from the railroad we came into a massive palisade made of great squared logs standing upright in the ground. The fires blazed up and showed us a section of these two massive wooden gates with heavy iron hinges and bolts. They swung open as we stood there and we passed through into the space beyond. We were in Andersonville."
The stream that crosses the prison site is Stockade Branch, the principal water source for the prisoners and one of the deciding factors in locating the prison here. From this small stream the prisoners obtained water for drinking, bathing, and laundry. In addition, the toilets, or sinks in Civil War terminology, were built along this brook on the downstream side of the camp. Stockade Branch may have been sufficient water supply for the 6 to 10 thousand men for which the prison was originally designed. However with the overcrowding, this stream was quickly overburdened. Wastes from the bake house and the guard camps upstream polluted Stockade Branch before it even entered the prison. In their search for a better water supply some prisoners located small brackish springs along the hillside or dug wells. Those who located water often sold it to their fellow prisoners.
John Ransom, a prisoner here, wrote in his diary on May 18th: "Some of the wells dug by the Yankees furnished passable water, am improvement anyway on swamp water. Well water, in great demand, is sold readily for such trinkets as the men have to dispose of." During the hot dry summer of 1864, the prisoners' need for water became so great that they began to pray to God for help.
In August, a heavy rainstorm transformed Stockade Branch into a raging torrent that washed away part of the stockade wall. It also gave the camp a greatly needed cleansing. According to legend, during the storm, lightning struck the ground. Upon investigation a spring was discovered flowing were the lightning had struck. Since many prisoners felt this was the answer to their prayers, it was named Providence Springs. John Ransom simply wrote on August 13, "a nice spring of cold water has broken out in camp. Nearly enough to furnish all here with drinking water. God has not forgotten us.
A memorial building over Providence Springs was erected in 1901. The spring still flows today.
Located in the area to the left of the bridge is the site of the bake house. It was originally planned to issue the prisoners cooked food. However, as a result of the scarcity of lumber, bricks, and cooking utensils, the bake house was not completed when the first trainload of prisoners arrived. By the time it was finished, the prison population had soared, rendering it inadequate. Often rations were uncooked. Many times the food was spoiled or infested with bugs. The meagerness of the daily food rations and its lack of variety caused severe dietary deficiencies.
The South Gate
Prisoners who died within the enclosure were laid just inside this gate. Later the bodies were carried to the dead house. The dead house was a crudely built shelter of pine boughs. Here the bodies were kept until they were transferred by wagon to the cemetery. It was very common for friends of the deceased to stay with the body at the South Gate. This gave them an opportunity to carry their friend to the dead house, and perhaps along the way, they could pick up a few small pieces of firewood, a valuable addition to the scarce supply. At least one man attempted to escape by having his friends carry him out as if he were dead.
Charles Mosher from the 85th New York Infantry wrote about this in his diary on June 16th: "There has been several cases where a Yank has played dead, and his chums would tie a rag around his head to keep his jaw in place, tie his big toes together, pin a slip of paper to his clothing, with his name, company and regiment on it; and then in a very solemn manner, carry the poor fellow out to the dead house. But the Yank had his weather eye open, and watching his opportunity when the guards are out of sight, steps quietly out of his dead surroundings and makes a break for the Union lines."
Fearing that General Sherman's army would attack and free the Federal prisoners, Camp Sumter's commander, General John Winder, ordered Star Fort and other earthworks to be constructed in late July and August. These fortifications were hastily constructed by the prison guards and slaves. In addition to the earthworks, a second stockade wall was constructed and a third one started. This third wall was called the "covered way" and although it was never completed, it did connect the earthworks on the northern and eastern sides of the prison. In case of an attack, this wall would enable the Confederate guards to move from one earthwork to another without being under direct fire.
Although General Sherman's army continued on its march to the sea, one of his cavalry officers, General George Stoneman, did attempt to liberate the prisoners here. This attempt was thwarted when he and about five hundred of his men were captured on July 31, 1864 at Hillsbourgh, Georgia, approximately sixty miles north of the prison.
Five of the guns in the fort were trained upon the stockade enclosure at all times. These could effectively cover the prison area north of Stockade Branch. In addition, a small redoubt just west of the North Gate had three guns covering the area south of Stockade Branch. It was well known by the prisoners that the cannon could sweep the enclosure with grape shot and canister upon a moment's notice. Fortunately, this drastic measure was never required. There was a single shot fired over the stockade to show that it could be done
The large field opposite Star Fort was the location of the shed hospital. The hospital was comprised of 22 sheds, each 100 feet long and 22 feet wide, to accommodate 50 patients. It was definitely an improvement over the two previous hospitals, where the patients were housed in tents, yet this was still far from adequate. Nonetheless the patients fared much better than the prisoners within the stockade enclosure. Disease became more prevalent as the prison population grew. It quickly became obvious that the lack of proper medical facilities and shortage of medical supplies was critical. The doctors relied upon their won ingenuity and improvised home remedies to replace the drugs which they could not obtain.
Solon Hyde, a prisoner paroled from the stockade to work as a nurse, wrote after the war: "The stock of drugs was meager. There was only limited quantity of quinine, opium, and other mercurial preparations, mostly consisting of herbs and roots such as sumac berries, white oak bark, prickly ash, prickly alder, willow bark, dogwood bark, snake root and juniper berries along with golden seal. These all came from and were packed by the Confederate medical dispatchery in Macon, Georgia."
On the south end of the stockade, there is a lone white post low on the slope of the hill. This post marks the site where six "Raiders" were hanged. The lack of order and the overcrowded conditions within the prison enabled groups of thieves to become established. Since there was no organized police force these gangs, called Raiders, became very powerful. The area along the south end of the prison stockade was where gangs of raiders were camped.
Realizing something had to be done to control the lawless gangs, prisoners grouped together, forming the Regulators, an unofficial police force. With the cooperation of Captain Henry Wirz, the Regulators finally gained the advantage, capturing many of the Raiders. The six ringleaders were singled out and tried by a jury of 24 Union sergeants. These were new arrivals who had no experience with conditions inside the stockade. A prisoner acted as counsel for the defense, Captain Wirz provided books of law to insure the fairness of the trial, and proceedings of the trial were recorded. Found guilty, the six were hanged on July 11, 1864. After the execution, the Regulators continued to maintain some degree of order.
Movement of the hospital tents from the interior of the stockade freed up much needed space and provided slightly better conditions for the patients. The sinks were a major contribution to the pollution of the prisoner's primary source of water because they were built over the stream. Polluted water added to the spread of diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and typhoid.
Because the Confederate authorities did not provide any building materials, the individual was left to fend for himself using whatever was available. As a result, a hodgepodge of shelters, as simple or elaborate as the builder's imagination and resources, existed. Blankets, tent halves, and bits of clothing were fashioned into crude lean-tos. These shebangs, as the prisoners called them, offered only meager shelter.
Amos Stearns, described a friend's shebang in his diary: "Champney's shebang consisted of two army blankets fastened together with wooden pins and put up like an A-tent, which with a poncho for the end, made a comfortable shelter compared with what the majority of the prisoners had."
To supplement their meager rations many men set up shops to peddle whatever wares they could make or procure, or whatever services they could perform. Understandably, these small businessmen dealt mainly in the necessities of life. Not all of the prisoners had the resources to start a business. However, most prisoners did find something to occupy the idle hours of captivity. Although any activity which offered relief from the daily reminder of being a prisoner of war was popular, the thought of escape seemed to be a particularly favorite pastime.
For many, the only hope of escape seemed to be through tunneling. Robert Kellogg, a prisoner from Connecticut, recalled in his memoirs: "The work of completing a tunnel had been silently going on , and we hoped to be successful in keeping it from the peering eyes of the rebels, but in some way they discovered it, for the reb quartermaster came in with me and the necessary implements, and filled up the place, thus blasting one more hope."
Escape was difficult because of the remoteness of Andersonville from the Union lines and the efficiency of the dogs used to track down runaways. During the existence of the prison, only 329 prisoners are known to have made successful escapes. Many of these did so by running away from work details or by violating their paroles during employment outside the stockade.
Camp Sumter existed for 14 month. With the release of the prisoners at the war's end, the stockade wall slowly rotted away.
However, the story of Andersonville continued. Andersonville had become a very well known name in the North. It was one of the largest Confederate military prisons and it had a very high death rate. Emotions came to a peak as the released prisoners made their way home and told their stories. The Northern public was outraged.
Since General John H. Winder, post commander, had died just prior to the war's end, the bulk of the responsibility for Andersonville fell upon Captain Henry Wirz. Wirz, commandant of the inner stockade, was tried by a military tribunal in Washington D.C. The Swiss immigrant was found guilty of conspiring to injure the heath and destroy the lives of Federal prisoners, and murder in violation of the laws of war. He was hanged on November 10, 1865. Despite numerous claims, mostly by embittered former inmates, there appears to have been no conspiracy. Captain Wirz contended that he was following orders of his superiors, and that he was unable to get the food and supplies necessary for the care of such a large number of prisoners. The prosecutor at Wirz's trial, strived to understand how one man could allow such atrocities to occur, a question that, even today, bares heavily upon the minds of many people, and the conscience of the nation.
Andersonville had often been compared to many of the other Civil War prison camps. But is it fair to compare one to another? All prison camps were horrible places, and at any given time experienced similar conditions.
At Camp Douglas in Chicago, Illinois, 10 percent of its Confederate prisoners died during one cold winter month; and Elmira Prison in New York state, with a death rate of 25 percent, very nearly equaled that of Andersonville.
Each is part of one of our nation's most tragic experiences. Civil War prisoner John Ransom wrote in his diary in June 1864:
"I have read in my earlier years about prisoners in the Revolutionary War and other wars. It sounded noble and heroic to be a prisoner of war, and accounts of their adventures were quite romantic. But the romance has been knocked out of the Prisoner of war business, higher than a kite. It is a fraud."
Andersonville National Historic Site commemorates all prisoners of war throughout our nation's history. The state monuments, the wells and tunnels dug by the prisoners themselves, and the National Cemetery all stand as monuments to these prisoners. The purpose of monuments is - not only to commemorate the past- but to teach lessons to the present.
At times, the number of guards at Andersonville was 1,000 or more, mostly from the Georgia Reserves. Most of them were young boys, old men or wounded veterans who were not well enough for combat. There was much sickness among the guards with 226 dying before the closing of the prison. 117 were buried behind the present maintenance building. To our knowledge the others were taken home for burial since many of them came from a radius of 5 or 10 miles from the prison.
In 1878 when the wall was built around the cemetery, these bodies were left outside the cemetery.
The ladies of Americus, Georgia were raising money for a monument for their city, but in place of buying a monument they had the bodies dis-interred and buried in Americus at Oak Grove Cemetery or a family plot. Of these buried in this honored place where the Stars and Bars fly over these gravesites, there are 43 marked as " Unknown" graves.
Although other prison sites were no vacation land, here are a few notes that tell us the extreme conditions here at Andersonville. During the 4 years of war, there were an estimated 30,000 Union prisoners who died as captured prisoners. 12920 died here in just 14 months. That makes the overall percentage of ALL Union POW deaths at about 42% here at Andersonville. The following are numbers held at other POW sites, Union and Confederate.

The list was provided to the United States War Department.
Andersonville National Cemetery began as a
result of the conditions which caused the deaths of thousands of Union prisoners
of war held captive at Camp Sumter. The first death to occur was that of Adam
Swarner on February 27, 1864. Private Swarner, a member of the 2nd New York
Cavalry, had been in Confederate prisons in Richmond, Virginia since his capture
in September 1863. Swarner was among the first prisoners to be transferred
to the new prison in Georgia, and arrived ill and dying. He was here 2 days.
Jacob Swarner, Adams younger brother was captured and brought here after Adams
death. Jacob died July 26 1864, 5 months after his brother.
By the time the war ended in the spring of 1865, nearly 13,000 men had been laid to rest in these acres. They were buried in trench graves, shoulder to shoulder. Their graves were marked with a small wooden board with the number of the grave carved on it. That number corresponded to the "dead roll" kept by the Confederate surgeons, the task being actually assigned to a paroled prisoner. Dorence Atwater, a comrade of Adam Swarner's in the 2nd New York Cavalry, kept the dead roll for most of the time he was at Andersonville. He feared that the Confederate government would not be honest about the number of Union deaths, and made a secret copy of the list which he kept hidden until his release early in 1865.
In July 1865, Miss Clara Barton, known as "the Angel of the Battlefield" for her work as a nurse of the Union Army, arrived at Andersonville with an expedition from the Quartermaster Department under the command of Captain James Moore. Captain Moore's expedition included 40 laborers who would paint, letter and erect wooden markers for each grave. The process of marking the graves was completed by mid-August.
Today Andersonville National Cemetery remains operational.
Veterans of the United States Armed Forces may be buried here along with their
spouse and minor dependents. Basic requirements are that the veteran must
have been on active duty for more than 180 days and if discharged,
the discharge must have been under conditions other than dishonorable. The 27 acre cemetery contains the remains of men and women who have served this country in all branches of the United States military. Andersonville has been an active National Cemetery since the Civil war with dead buried here who served in the Span-Am , WWl, WWll, Korea, Vietnam, Desert storm, and not the war in Iraq.
As a sad note this past Monday the 15th, SPC Victor Anderson from Ellaville Georgia was laid to rest here at Andersonville. He is one of the several Georgia reservist who were killed in a roadside bomb attack in Iraq on July 30 2005. He is the first combat casualty to be buried here at Andersonville since the Vietnam war.

by S. A. Frye
A slow sunrise lights the wet earth in crisp, clear rays of orange and yellow. A
bird sings in a melancholy voice, and the whole of nature seems to hold its
breath like a waiting child.
As far as the eye can see, there are gravestones. But they are decorated; little flags stand boldly before them, showing like red, white, and blue jewels. The morning is Memorial Day.
Last Friday afternoon, volunteers and boy scout troops came to Andersonville
National Cemetery to place American flags on the graves of the veterans - Civil
War and Present Day - to honor them for Memorial Day.
I myself placed flags for America's heroes. But what about the rest of our nation?
Why, the vast majority were taking advantage of car and clothing sales, and planning cookouts with family and friends. Have we forgotten our veterans so quickly?
The sun rises, and thousands of flags are flown for our brave soldiers; will you let your flag fly?
The other day, a friend and I rode by a cemetery and decided to have a look around. I noticed that the newer graves have been very well taken care of; flowers were set everywhere, family plots were neat and clean, broken stones had been mended; in short, these recent dead were still being honored.
But when does this honor withdraw? The older graves lay in ruin, some with broken headstones, or no headstones at all; some overgrown, some cracked open. These graves gave a sense of loneliness and sadness. These dead seem to have been forgotten.
When a family buries a loved one, the last
thing they want to see happen is that person be forgotten by Time, and though
this is inevitable, we should do everything in our power to give recognition to
the dead, even if we do not know their name or there story.

842 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411037.759442 -122.421376
Mon.-Thu. 6 p.m.-close; Fri.-Sun. 5:30 p.m.-close.
Neighborhoods: Central, Castro
Though portions are small, the food is close to perfect. Stay well-stocked with bread, as the broths and sauces tend to steal the show!
Great place – One of the best places ever been in, go check yourself and you know what I mean.
Great California Cuisine – The food is really great and the cocktail menu is unique. My only complaint is that I was cold so I had to order the tomato soup to warm up which isn't so bad.
Overpriced, dull atmosphere, boring decor, food only looks good – Well, I'm not a negative person and I love to eat out.
Yet, I wish some restaurants simply didn't exist. Like this one.
Its expensive. The atmosphere is boring. It looks like a bunker (have you seen a movie "The Fall" about last days of Hitler in his underground hideout? Same theme)
The service is friendly and waiters are easy going. Service was actually the only good impression.
Vegetables were overcooked and food was too salty (which is very rare for a high end restaurant). Portions are "European" i.e. very small. Get ready to leave hungry.
It was also greasy, you could tell they used a lot of butter when cooking.
They served cold bread. Only two tap beers on the menu.
The place was quite full though, surprisingly.
Anyhow, if you like vibrant, interesting dining, groovy decor, delicious food and exciting crowd - this place is not for you.
If you are kind of an office cubicle character, who is afraid of the world and lives in the shoe box - you'll feel protected from the world and its beauty. And your ego will be satisfied by a pricy check for nothing.
Triple Crown Winner in my book – I am pathetically jaded on restaurants, and Range blew me away. I ate there two weeks ago and can't stop talking about it. Every element of the place is professional and welcoming. The wait staff are skilled and unobtrusive. It reminds you that a good waitperson is a very good thing. They allowed us (a table of 4) to linger at our table, and we never felt rushed. The food was absolutely fabulous, even though I ordered 3 courses that typically aren't my favorites. The fish and beef served to our table were both done perfectly. The desserts were equally as good. They even gave us a free desert because the fourth person in our party did not order one. It was incredibly courteous. If you peek in the kitchen here, it looks like a choreographed dance of chefs who know what they are doing. It's a real kitchen. We moved to the bar after our meal and talked to other patrons - some where off-duty staff that had come in for a meal - and indulged in the most exciting cocktails I know of in SF right now. As my friend said, the "Envy" is like a spa vacation in a glass. This even holds up after you have 3. Maybe we had such a pleasant un-rushed evening because we had an early reservation (at 6 pm), if so, I would recommend getting an early reservation. They do keep tables by the door open specifically for walk-ins, however, and I noticed that one of them was pretty much always open during the evening.
Not as good as it used to be. – I used to really enjoy Range, but it's not as good as it used to be. Even with early (6:15pm) dinner, the wait for the food reaches 45 minutes. The portions are much smaller (Thai Snapper) and the menu is nothing outstanding. Too bad because it used to be so much better.
Seems to have it all together – On entry, it might be just a neighborhood hangout, but once the food is on the table, it's city-class. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I can report on only one dinner, but it was sterling. If there is one dish that is a touchstone as to how a kitchen is doing, it might be scallops. These were ideally springy (it's a catch muscle that flaps the bivalves shells as it goes scooting over the bottom), not too soft, in a brown savory shellfish bisque that played off nicely against the grilled edges of the scallops; and cute, crisp radish sprouts on top. Cross-rib roast: not fork-cuttable (I tried) but very tender and mellow, on a great base (was that fennel with the little potatoes?) And a nice dessert choice. Good wine list, although I found mine in the by-the-glass section. This young place seems to have it all together; all the best to them!
Terrific, refined comfort food – Portions are nice and not over-the-top, choices are relatively few but everything we had was really great. Ravioli, fish, tartar, and more were all great. Wines by the glass were also skimpy in overall choice, but well picked out and thought out. Overall service was friendly and efficient, though our waiter didn't have a lot going on "upstairs." We asked for his you-can't-miss-these-dishes recommendations and he (sweetly) looked at us, and said "uh, I don't know, it's all good." The hostess & bartender were great and the crowd was buzzing. I can't wait to go back.
Good, Tasty Food. Your tummy feels good after you leave. – I went to Range twice in two weeks. It's a great restaurant for reasonably priced and portioned, tasty, original food. Not fancy, but really good. The desserts are great right now, during summer fruit season. Loved the tartes, crisps, very refreshing and great combinations of sour and sweet. Dinner for six, including appetizer, entree and dessert was only $350, including tax and tip. Awesome deal for the food you get. Easy to become a regular.
Food Holds Up Next to the Big Boys--Mina, Danko, Fleur de Lys – I love this place! The food is creative, fresh and memorable. It could possibly be my favorite restaurant in San Francisco.

Fake Flat Abs: 7 Tricks to Try
Want a friend on the inside? Add us on Facebook to always stay in touch.
I like to think of myself as a relatively healthy person. I go to the gym, do yoga and I even actually enjoy a good run, believe it or not. But when it comes to ab work, there's nothing I hate more than crunches. I get it - to get the flat abs, a la Gisele, you need to put in the work and strengthen that core. And while I'm reluctantly willing to suck it up and suffer for the sake of a firm tummy, I have very little patience for the amount of time it actually takes to start seeing results.
Since I know I'm not alone, here are some quick ways to fake flat abs. Of course, none of this should be done in lieu of actual exercise, but if you're in a time crunch - as in you have two days before you have to be in a bikini - then here are 7 tricks to try.

Emotional Impairment
Emotional impairment causes behavioral problems that interfere with any kind of an experience. Behavioral problems associated with emotional impairment are different from those associated with social maladjustment, cognitive and sensory factors, and health issues.
'Psychological disorder' is a blanket term that refers to a wide range of mental illnesses such as mood, thought and emotional disorders. Emotion in common language refers to subjective, behavioral and psychological reactions of an individual to events and objects. Mood is a related concept which refers to a long lasting but less specific and less intense emotional state. Feeling, on the other hand, is a subjective experience of an emotion.
Emotional impairment is characterized by one or more of the following elements:
- Inability to build and maintain social relationships.
- Improper behavior under normal circumstances.
- Prolonged depressive mood.
- Unexplained inability to learn from experience.
- Tendency to develop physical illness and fears when facing personal problems.
Emotional impairment is usually disclosed after a child starts going to school. However, the disability should not be exclusively determined because of frequent violations of school codes. Such violations can arise due to general indifference or a tendency to indulge in aggressive behavior. These can easily be managed by understanding and defining specific tolerable limits. Emotionally impaired students may require certain accommodations within reasonable limits.
There is a close link between emotional impairment and bipolar disorder in children and adults. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by alternating episodes of depression and euphoria. In children, it is marked by sexual promiscuity, poor performance in school, addiction and suicide. Psychological disorders are actually invisible disabilities and need to be diagnosed properly. If your child shows any symptoms that raise doubts about his/her emotional health, it is better to get it evaluated by a specialist before blaming the poor child for poor performance.
A lot of research has been done in this area, and there are lots of techniques by which such disabilities can be overcome. You can gather information from various sources like books or the Internet and get the latest information.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Tyrhee Pratt exhibited no symptoms of a sophomore slump Friday. In fact, the Capital quarterback helped pave the way for another impressive debut for a Cougar freshman in a 68-7 win over Riverside at Laidley Field.
Freshman running back Silas Nazario caught a 52-yard touchdown pass from Pratt, then scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter as the Cougars (1-0) built a 47-0 lead by halftime.
Nazario had 86 total yards in the first half, and Capital began to substitute liberally soon after the second-half kickoff.
"Not too bad. Now, we've got freshmen who aren't playing because that's all we have -- they're playing because they're ready to play," Capital coach Jon Carpenter said. "It's exciting."
Nazario and Tyrell Davis got the bulk of the carries during the first half after starting running back James Richmond injured his knee on a failed point-after try early in the game. Davis had 48 yards on just three carries, including a highlight-reel 29-yard touchdown run through the Riverside (0-2) defense.
Carpenter said Richmond's injury was not thought to be serious.
"It was a precautionary measure," he said of holding out the senior. "That's the Belichick word for it, right?"
Richmond's absence did little to slow Capital's attack, and only served to showcase its depth.
Capital standout utility man Kashuan Haley did not play during the first half. He had a 44-yard touchdown run on his second carry of the third quarter that made it 54-0. He added a 69-yard punt return for a touchdown following Riverside's ensuing possession and a 69-yard TD on his next carry.

JENKS— Authorities say a child has been killed by a vehicle backing out of a driveway in Jenks.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. George Brown says an emergency call came in about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday that 15-month-old Alexa Lambillotte, had been hit by a vehicle on private property near 125th Street and Elwood Avenue.
OHP says that Daniel Lambillotte was backing a Chevy Tahoe out of the driveway, when he accidentally ran over the child.
Overcome with emotion, he collapses into my arms and starts to sob.
He says he was headed out of town when he heard that little Alexa was gone.
"I was on my way to Falls Creek Baptist Assembly to do a funeral just west of Oklahoma City when we got the word," says her grandfather, Bobby Smith.
Through his tears, he begins to speak about the granddaughter who lit up a room when she walked through the door.
"She was the sweetest little girl on the earth. Without a doubt, the sweetest little girl on the earth, there was no question," he says.
"She liked to be outside, she liked the water and to play in her little pool. She enjoyed playing with her toys you know and she enjoyed being with grandma and grandpa," says Smith.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says this was a terrible accident.
Her father, Daniel was backing out of the driveway when he accidentally hit Alexa.
The family immediately brought her to the Jenks Fire Department.
Captain Lance Steward is almost too overwhelmed to give a statement about what happened.
"I know we started providing patient care right away. I don't know...it was pretty quick...Emsa arrived pretty quick and assisted," says Steward.
Alexa was taken to St. Francis Hospital where she later died.
The family is asking that you pray for strength as they try to get through their unimaginable grief.

I'm a 22 year old city girl who loves the hustle and bustle of urban life but like everybody else, I just want to come home at the end of the day and curl up with my dog, my tea, and a good book.
I've never cared much for coffee, but got into tea after a visit to Lupicia in Hawaii. What started off as a small box set of souvenir tea has turned into monthly tea shopping trips to local tea shops and a cabinet in the pantry just for tea!

The problem the code is solving
This is a script to access the stackexchange api for the genealogy site and create a list of user dictionaries. Ie each user dictionary contains the info about that user obtained from the api. This data can then be used to analyze user behavior on the beta genealogy site and look for things to improve.
The code works. It contains a snippet at end to validate. The data obtained is stored in YAML format in a file for use by other programs to analyze the data.
The Code
This is a script to access the stackexchange api
for the genealogy site
and create a list of user dictionaries
# use requests module
# - see http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/#install
import requests
# use YAML to store output for use by other programs
# see http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML
import yaml
OUTFILENAME = "users.yaml"
# use se api and access genealogy site
# see https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/users for api info
URL ='https://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/users'
url_params = {
'site' : 'genealogy',
'pagesize' : 100,
'order' : 'desc',
'sort' : 'reputation',
page = 1
not_done = True
user_list = []
# replies are paginated so loop thru until none left
while not_done:
url_params['page'] = page
# get next page of users
api_response = requests.get(URL,params=url_params)
json_data = api_response.json()
# pull the list of users out of the json answer
user_list.extend( json_data['items'] )
# show progress each time thru loop
print api_response.url
#note only so many queries allowed per day
print '\tquota remaining: %s' % json_data['quota_remaining']
print "\t%s users after page %s" % (len(user_list),page)
# prepare for next iteration if needed
page += 1
not_done = json_data['has_more']
# output list of users to a file in yaml, a format easily readable by humans and parsed
# note safe_dump is used for security reasons
# since dump allows executable python code
# Sidebenefit of safe_dump is cleaner text
outFile = open(OUTFILENAME,"w")
yaml.safe_dump(user_list, outFile)
# validate it wrote correctly
# note this shows example of how to read
infile = open(OUTFILENAME)
readList = yaml.safe_load(infile)
print 'wrote list of %d users as yaml file %s' % (len(readList),OUTFILENAME)
What looking for in review
I wrote this code because I wanted the data it gets from the genealogy site but also:
- to learn api's in general
- to learn the stackexchange api
- to get back into programming which I hadn't done much lately
- I thought I'd try YAML
I learned alot from comments on my original submission so I'd appreciate feedback on this version. Since it's such a simple script I didn't bother with objects, but I would be interested in how it could be remade in the functional programming paridigm which I'm not as familar with.

Commuters warned of icy road conditions
Postponed I-15 closure in Victorville to take place Wednesday
• Allow enough time. Trips to the mountains can take longer during winter than other times of the year, especially if you encounter stormy conditions or icy roads. Get an early start and allow plenty of time to reach your destination.
• Keep your gas tank full. It may be necessary to change routes or turn back during a bad storm or you may be caught in a traffic delay.
• Keep windshield and windows clear. You may want to stop at a safe turnout to use a snow brush or scraper. Use the car defroster and a clean cloth to keep the windows free of fog.
• Slow down. A highway speed of 65 miles per hour may be safe in dry weather, but an invitation for trouble on snow and ice. Snow and ice make stopping distances much longer, so keep your seat belt buckled and leave more distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Bridge decks and shady spots can be icy when other areas are not. Remember to avoid sudden stops and quick direction changes.
• Be more observant. Visibility is often limited in winter by weather conditions. Slow down and watch for other vehicles that have flashing lights. Visibility may be so restricted during a storm that it is difficult to see the slow moving equipment.
• Stay with your vehicle. When stalled, stay with your vehicle and try to conserve fuel while maintaining warmth. Be alert to any possible exhaust or monoxide problems.
Winter weather conditions felt across the Victor Valley on Tuesday evening will continue briefly into Wednesday morning, according to weather forecasts.
With a large percent of residents commuting down the hill, travelers along Interstate 15 should prepare for icy roadways and low visibility as snow showers continue Wednesday morning.
"The storm will bring snow and slippery travel to ... passes and the high deserts. Some of these roads may close for a time, due to sudden heavy snow and whiteout conditions," wrote Alex Sosnowski, Expert Senior Meteorologist, Tuesday on AccuWeather.com.
There is the potential for people to get stuck venturing over the passes of Southern California, wrote Sosnowski.
California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Matt Hunt declined to predict whether or not there would be any closures of the Cajon Pass on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning due to winter weather. He said that a full freeway closure "only happens on the rarest of occasions."
There was only one report of a solo vehicle spinout early Tuesday evening due to the weather at the 15/215 junction. The spinout was reported on the northbound lanes at 7:38 p.m., according to the CHP website.
A National Weather Service winter weather advisory remains in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday. A high-wind warning also remains in effect until 4 p.m. Wind speeds of at least 40 mph with 58 mph gusts may lead to property damage, according to the NWS alert.
The brunt of Tuesday night's storm, expected to hit Hesperia and Lucerne Valley hardest, will linger into Wednesday morning according to the NWS. Winds will gradually decrease throughout the day.
Both Apple Valley and Hesperia unified school districts posted on their websites a weather alert to students and parents Tuesday afternoon warning of possible closures on Wednesday.
"Snow showers are expected (Tuesday) evening. We will monitor road conditions," the alert said. "Please monitor local radio stations or this website regarding possible school closure."
Mountain High in Wrightwood also posted on their website regarding the winter weather. The resort was expecting 6 to 12 inches of fresh snow on top of a base that was over 2 feet in some places on the resort.
Caltrans was requiring motorist to use chains on all vehicles except four-wheel drive vehicles with snow tires on all four wheels on most mountain highways. Travels should be prepared when they drive on Highway 2, 18, 38, 138, 173, 189 and 330 due to winter weather conditions.
The scheduled I-15 freeway northbound closure for the La Mesa/Nisqualli Interchange project in Victorville will take place Wednesday into Thursday morning, according to San Bernardino Associated Governments public information officer Tim Watkins.
The closure was postponed to due the extreme weather, Watkins said. Crews will close northbound lanes at Bear Valley Road Wednesday and Thursday from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The southbound lanes of I-15 will close at Palmdale Road on Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. and will reopen on Feb. 27 at 4 a.m.
Wednesday's temperatures in the Victorville area will remain cold with a high of 48 degrees and a low of 29, according to an AccuWeather forecasts. A couple of morning snow showers may occur, but it will otherwise be mostly cloudy and breezy, the forecast said.
Temperatures will begin to rise slowly over the next few days finally reaching 60 on Saturday making for a sunny weekend, according to AccuWeather.

Six games into the Big East schedule, Johnson never got the memo.
Johnson offered up his starting spot to sophomore Jerome Seagears at the start of Big East play, understanding the value of a three-guard lineup. With Johnson coming off the bench, and still getting his minutes, Rutgers is 2-2 and fell just short of an upset over Notre Dame last night.
Averaging four points per game in his first three years, Johnson's numbers are doubled off the bench this season. Johnson averages 8.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game off the bench as a senior.
"I can't say exactly what it is, but I'm a more confident player," Johnson said after seven points in a victory over South Florida. "I can sit down and really take it in before [head coach Mike Rice] puts me in. I have a good feel for the game when I get in and I'm still going to get my minutes."
Butting heads with Notre Dame star Jack Cooley in the 69-66 loss to the Irish, Johnson held his own against one of the best in the business. Active on the boards, Johnson led the Scarlet Knights (12-5, 3-3) to a strong paint performance.
Rutgers kept the game from getting away by out-rebounding and out-blocking the seasoned Irish bigs.
Johnson provided six points and six rebounds in the loss to Notre Dame, but caused problems on both sides for Notre Dame.
"They're a tough group," said Notre Dame's Pat Connaughton. "They have three really good guards and a big guy that can play. That automatically makes them a tough out."
Johnson, who describes himself as crafty on the court, continues to create opportunities in 20 minutes per game off the bench. Perhaps most importantly, Johnson's minutes with starters Jack and Judge often in foul trouble are critical.
That, said the 23-year old, comes with maturity.
"I just want to win," Johnson said. "I don't mind [not starting] because it's best for this team and I'm playing well. … We just have to keep it going and keeping following coach Rice's plan."
Rutgers, tied for sixth in the conference standings, hosts St. John's Wednesday before the toughest four-game slate of the year. Traveling to Connecticut and Cincinnati, Rutgers then hosts Louisville and Georgetown at the RAC.

Hello again wise plumbers...
As I've posted recently, I'm in the starting stages of a basement remodel, to include a new bathroom. To do so requires an ejector, and some other concrete cracking/excavation - for the toilet and shower, at least.
In an effort to minimize the concrete work, the following struck me: Can I have a shower and laundry next to each other; the shower with a 2" trap, and its own vent in the wall bounding the shower, and the laundry with a 2" standpipe and trap, and its own vent, with the drainage of the laundry then flowing via a santee into the vent pipe of the shower?

Amazon Prime's streaming video service is touted as offering thousands of movies and TV shows available to members. Some number-crunchers are calling that estimate massively inflated.
Fast Company magazine reports that Amazon says it offers more than 17,000 movies and shows, a claim the magazine says is misleading because the company actually counts each episode of a TV series as a "show." In other words, just a few long-running productions could count as thousands of shows. Using the more conventional characterization of a TV series as a show, the magazine calculates that 1,745 movies and only about 150 TV shows are part of the Prime Instant Video offering.
At $79 per year, a Prime membership is still cheaper than rivals Netflix or Hulu Plus, and the membership includes other perks like free shipping. A partnership announced in February between Redbox owner Coinstar and Verizon to offer streaming content won't be available until the second half of the year, so consumers who want streaming content have limited choices, even if the amount of content is less than it appears.
Ketchup 90% off? 'Crazy' Amazon price claims
"They could've been a little more transparent about it," said Alan Webber, principal analyst at the Altimeter Group, a technology research and advisory firm. He said that he didn't think the online retailer was out to deceive customers, however.
"Look at where the future of content is going," he said. "The music industry went from albums to selling songs." Treating TV episodes as individual products rather than as parts reflects this new norm, Webber said. "I think that's just part of the natural evolution of the segmentation of content and how we actually procure and use content."
Amazon did not immediately respond when asked if it planned to revise its method of counting streaming media titles, but the current landing page for Instant Video now characterizes the number of available titles as "thousands."

Best Chinese Food Ever! – I have been eating here for at least 10 years. Their food is always great! I always enjoy the fresh choices they offer. I only wish it were easier to get to, or that they would deliver to Bayview!
They always offer great service and say hello when you walk in the door. Very friendly atmosphere!
This is definitely my favorite of all Chinese Resturants in Milwaukee!

Simple & Customizable
Tender Monogram Save the Date Magnets It was so easy and simple to find what I was looking for. It was just as easy to customize the magnet. Lots of design choices to choose from as well.
Fun Save-The-Dates
Tender Monogram Save the Date Magnets My partner and I really enjoyed these magnets. As well, guests loved that they could put them on their fridge to avoid losing them. They were a great size. Very easy to mail. The only critique would be regarding the design - the colored lines (e.g., heart and bottom decor) are very thin and print very very light.
Tender Monogram Save the Date Magnets We are so very pleased with both the product and MagnetStreet. The ordering was super simple and came very quickly. The magnet is excatly what we wanted and we are already getting rave reviews from our family.
Tender Monogram Pocket Invitations I really love all the products we've ordered. Save the date magnets and invites are impressive.
Good Quality
Tender Monogram Gate-fold Invitations The paper and print quality are great. Very easy to read and very pretty. I changed my invite to have a black background which kind of has a glossy finish and white font. Everything looks perfect.
