Great website for designing ring, by far the easiest to use that I have seen. The ring is great and exactly as expected. Tapered side baguettes for 1.5 carat were perfect. Also great customer service by phone and during the delivery process.
Perfect, BUT...
No question - this engagement ring is amazing. BIG problem though is matching a wedding band. Short of having something custom made - it will be nearly impossible to get something that fits well. Loved it but had to send it back :(
She said "yes!" :)
I'm really iffy when buying expensive item online. But Blue Nile made my buying experience smooth and stress free. They have the best customer support I have ever seen.
This engagement ring setting with a 2.5 ct Radiant Cut Diamond is stunting and has been very well received. Wow seems to be the word most used by those that see it for the first time. Well Done Blue Nile!!
Overall I am happy with process and she is thrilled with the diamond! however, the baguettes were too small when compared to the diamond (2 ct) - so we will be returning for a different setting. I had anticipated such an outcome - so was not surprised. An offering of larger baguettes might have alleviated the problem...but we're onto a 3 stone setting. :-D
After building my ring for 5 years
I've been creating my ring on your website for 5 years. I visited our local BB jeweler 4 years ago with the intent to see in person what I wanted. I got a bums rush and told to wait for their special diamond sale.I never went back. A few months ago I was considering spending some AMEX points. To my great surprise there was BlueNile. I used the 10% discount offer on my setting. I called CS and got Corey C. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted was exactly what I wanted, she reassured me that stock items were exchangeable. The ring came. It was gorgeous. What I'd suspected about the setting not being big enough for my 'rock' was true. I sent it back the next day and ordered the special order setting. Everyone was nice. No pressure. Suggestions were helpful. The rock was gorgeous.
Beautiful ring, exactly what I wanted and ordered came to my door. The support staff was very helpful, and had answers to all my questions. My fiance loves the ring!
Even better than expected!
The ring is beautiful was even better than could be pictured on the website. Being able to put together the band and exact stone all together made for a great buying experience and perfect proposal.
My fiance loves the ring!
It is a very class looking diamond. The cut makes the diamond look larger than its carat weight.
Lovely but side stones a little small.
The ring is beautiful, but I felt the side stones were too small for my 1-1/4 ct. diamond. I returned this ring and ordered the 1/2 ct. tw. side stones.
She LOVES it! And she said yes!!
My fiance loves it! She kept looking at it, admiring it. Her friends say the ring is stunning.
She loves this ring!
This is a stunning, elegant and flawless diamond ring. We are both very happy with it and will enjoy its beauty for the next fifty years.
I love how the ring delicately sparkles.
My boyfriend paired this setting with an asher cut solitaire diamond. Overall the ring looks a lot more delicate in person. The solitaire with the baguettes take up the most of the width of the front of my finger. The baguettes really add a lot of sparkle to the ring. The platinum part of the ring is very thin and feminine. I never really knew what kind of ring I wouold want but this one is beautiful.
I'm very happy with this ring.
Overall, I am very happy with this ring, and my girlfriend loved it. In terms of value, i did notice that other similar settings advertised online have tapered baguettes that are twice as big, so if that's important, you can find it.
I love the shape and size of this stone.
It is very elegant looking. Specially for petit ladies.I love wearing it everyday.
She loves the ring!
Customer service was exceptional and helped me pick out the perfect ring within my budget.
She loved the ring was a big hit
The ring was beautiful at first I was nervous about ordering online but will shop here again for all jewerly
The Perfect Ring!
The ring is solid and well constructed. Blue Nile sent me a box and appraisal letter, along with a certified geologist note for reference. Also, I called customer service with a few questions. I did not have to wait more than a few ring tones, and a happy person answered and was very helpful. There was also an issue that I had during my payment, but it was quickly corrected when Blue Nile called my phone to inform me. they were very helpful and responsive.
She was head over heels in lover with her engagement ring
Blue Nile's tools to educate guys who don't know the first thing about buying a diamond ring were invaluable in this very important purchasing decision of an engagement ring. The setting was exactly what she wanted and the diamond was absolutely brilliant thanks to the help of the extremely knowledgeable staff at Blue Nile. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Blue Nile.
She was all Smiles:)
The ring is beautiful (Round, 1.25, G, VV2, Excellent cut and polish). Exactly what we were looking for! We went diamond ring shopping in the local stores to get a feel for what we wanted, then purchased through this site! Ordering, shipping and delivery was simple. I will surely buy through Blue Nile again!!
The ring was exactly what she wanted
My now fiancee had described to me the type of ring she would like if she ever got engaged. I ordered an Emerald cut from Blue Nile based on her description, and it was perfect. The staff helped me pick the correct stone, it was set in a platnum set with bagettes. The transaction and delivery were all seamless and on time. She loves the ring. My thanks to Blue Nile. I work in Afghanistan and your service made this purchase very easy for me.
Baguette and Emerald diamonds delight!
My fiance is extremely pleased with her engagement ring. She said that if she were to design her own ring, she would have made the same ring! The Baguette diamonds on the side really compliment the Emerald cut center diamond very nicely. Please do not copy though, I like being unique!
Great quality and value!!
The ring was a huge winner. The diamond sparkle beautifully and the platinum setting was a winner. She was very pleased and I was very pleased with the ease of the transaction. This website is a winner.
The engagement ring was a huge winner.
My engagement ring was even better in person then in Blue Niles pictures.
It's beautiful! She loves it. The whole process was informative, simple, and fun.
When my fiance saw the ring, all she could say was, "it's perfect." Customer service was great and I got my ring in no time. I'll definitely shop here again.
i'm very, very pleased with the ring. i'd preferred the white gold, but it was out of stock, so went with the platinum. personally, not sure if it's worth the extra 1,000.00 for platinum, but blame myself for making final purchase too close to our anniversary to wait for white gold as much as i blame blue nile for being out of stock. the main stone is unbelievable.

Neighborhoods: Absecon
Great Restaurant Had a Great Meal Great Waiter!! – I went to Evo last night and had a great dining experience. I ordered Fried Calamari and Crabcakes with Seafood Chowder. Dinner was excellent and the waiter Matt was so friendly and fun. He made my dining experience a pleasure. Great personality. Hope he is there next time. The manager came by Genadi and he was on top of service and the full dining experience. My dinner was only $19.99 and a great value plus the ambiance was excellent. I was with a good friend and great atmosphere and he loved the food too.
Waiter made the experience! and the food accompanied it – Food & Service Was Awesome!
2nd time eating with a prefix menu on the boardwalk and this time it was better than flames.
Our waiter (Jeff I believe was soo great, efficient & friendly.
The Food was awesome My boyfriend loved the lobster bisque as and MY Shrimp scampi was AWESOME! Biggest Shrimp I've had with scampi!
Terrible Food and Bad Service – We went there as several years ago, when they first opened, they were good. How things change! The service was beyond bad. They don't even clear the food off the table after you eat. If you want the waiter, you have to flag him down as otherwise he was not going to come take our order or check on us. The food was inedible. Probably the worst food I have ever had on the boardwalk. The fish is overcooked, the soup is tasteless slop. For dessert, we had something they called creme brule that I won't even try to guess what it was, but it was not creme brule! Not sure it was even food! If there was a lower than 1 star rating, that is what Evo would get.
WORST PLACE IN ATLANTIC CITY – Labor Day, 9/3/07 around 2:00 PM
I?m a local. My family took a walk on the boardwalk and decided to have something light for lunch. My wife and I dine at Evo about 10 times a year. For the last couples of times the foods were below average but nothing too much to be complained about. They really made us angry yesterday. There were 3 adults & 3 kids. To start it off, the hostess was really rude. She asked us if we wanted to be seated inside or outside. We told her ?inside.? She looked at us couples of times funny because we have kids with us. Everyone in my family agreed that we had an impression that she wanted us to sit outside because we have kids. NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY RESTAURANT. There were maybe a couple inside the restaurant and a few people sit inside. The place looked dead. We ordered lunch. We waited for at lease 30 min for the foods to come out. They showered us everything at once. The soups and pizza were less than warm. The chicken sand was black and burnt. Fried calamaries were warm also. The service was OK. The bill: Fried Calamari: around $ 7.00, 2 Seafood Bisque Soup: $14.00, Sundried Tom. Pizza (small): $14.00, Chicken Sand. w/ fries $12.00, OPEN TABLE CHARGE $12.00, 20% TIPS (INCLUDED ON BILLFOR FOODS) $ 9.40- TOTAL I PAID $68.40
The thing they made me mad was the $12.00 open table charged. What can a 5 year old and a 6 year old eat? I don?t mind if they charged open table for six adult, but here they charged 3 adults, an 11 y-o and 2 kids for open table. This is ridiculous. In addition, they included the 20% tips?.For the service they did?I could only allow to give them 12%...20% is only for exceptional service?Their service is not exceptional service at all. WE ALL HAD BAD EXPERIENCE. MY WIFE AND I , MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WOULD NEVER COME BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN AS THE FOODS ARE BAD AND THEY TRY TO RIP PEOPLE OFF WITH ALL THE EXTRA CHARGES. IF YOU?RE EVER IN ATLANTIC CITY?.DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.WHAT A RIP OFF.
Mediocre decor with the bland food to match. – I will make this quick and simple. I ordered the risotto with shrimp and my wife the grilled jumbo shrimp. The shrimp for both dishes was unbelievably tough. The atmosphere had much more effort than the attempt to live up to the menu. Service was so bad that we didn't even leave a tip. With my wife being a past waitress in her college days, it takes a lot for us not to leave a tip. Bypass the plaza and opt for a different choice.
Not Worth It!!! – We went to the restaurant for lunch on a Saturday. Most of the patrons were seated outside. We chose to be seated inside so it was easy to get a table. The service was not prompt. It took the waiter too long to get our orders. The food was even worse. We ordered a burger and a crab cake. Both were so tasteless and unappetizing. It is also not a good place to bring the kids. The decor was all chic and fancy but the food was sooo depressing. Not worth the money and the time. We left very disappointed!
GARBAGE – Pure Garbage...A true boardwalk clip joint. Nice decor, everything else is below mediocre. Giving EVO credit for mediocrity would be an insult to truly mediocre establishments. Avoid it like the plague.
Decent Italian food – Trump Plaza's restaurants do not have a good reputation so we were prepared for the worst when we made dinner reservations at EVO. The restaurant was very busy this evening and it took awhile for us to be seated. We shared a very blah and uninspiring Caesar salad. Our entrees of grilled salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach was satisfactory though nothing special.
WHAT A JOKE – This is basically a pizza shop disguised as a chic restaurant. This place is one of the absolute worst in Atlantic City. Looks beautiful, but beauty is only skin deep isn't it? It is absolutely the case here. The menu is nice, but nobody knows how to actually make the food that is on it. Absolutely horrible. Frozen food! The service is just as bad. I've had better service at dives. Typical Boardwalk Eastern European staff that don't give a damn about anything, but getting your money in their pocket and don't feel they should have to work for it at all. Drinks are weak and we had to wait at the bar with a party of six and spent well over $200 on booze and didn't get so much as a thank you. If you like food and like restaurants and bars, avoid this place like the plague.

Summary of The Journals of Ayn Rand Summary of The Journals of Ayn Rand Reviews for The Journals of Ayn Rand An Excerpt from The Journals of Ayn Rand
Rarely has a writer and thinker of the stature of Ayn Rand afforded us access to her most intimate thoughts and feelings. From Journals of Ayn Rand, we gain an invaluable new understanding and appreciation of the woman, the artist, and the philosopher, and of the enduring legacy she has left us. Rand comes vibrantly to life as an untried screenwriter in Hollywood, creating stories that reflect her youthful vision of the world. We see her painful memories of communist Russia and her struggles to convey them in We the Living. Most fascinating is the intricate, step-by-step process through which she created the plots and characters of her two masterworks, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and the years of painstaking research that imbued the novels with their powerful authenticity. Complete with reflections on her legendary screenplay concerning the making of the atomic bomb and tantalizing descriptions of projects cut short by her death, Journals of Ayn Rand illuminates the mind and heart of an extraordinary woman as no biography or memoir ever could. On these vivid pages, Ayn Rand lives.

Instructors: Placing Material on Reserve in the Art Library
Only reserves lists for 300+ level courses are accepted at the Art Library. For large classes below the 300 level (especially survey classes), reserves should be placed with the Odegaard Undergraduate Library reserve unit. Exceptions may be made for small classes.
1. Prepare a list. It is very helpful if you verify the bibliographic information in the UW Libraries catalog. This establishes whether the UW Libraries own the title. If the UW Libraries do not own the title, an effort will usually be made to purchase a copy as quickly as possible.
Verification is also useful for preparing the reserve list the instructor gives to the students so that the citations match the way the item is cataloged by the libraries (author form, etc.).
2. Submit your list. Lists may be submitted by hard copy, online form or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Information to include (*indicates a required field):
- *Name
*Course number and title
*Campus box number, phone, email
Number of expected students
Contact person if other than instructor
- *Author, title, date of publication and/or edition (if you know it). See section below for information about reprints.
- *Loan period: 2 hour / 24 hour / 72 hour / library use only
Choose one of the above for your items. You may use different loan periods for different titles. Only the 2 hour items are kept in the reserve section behind the desk. The other 3 categories are shelved with the regular books in the open stacks. For items which will receive intense usage, 2 hour is the best choice. All reprints are 2 hour.
- Number of copies. The library will not usually purchase multiple copies unless there is expressed need, and other restrictions may apply. A general guideline is one copy per 20 students, but unless indicated, we usually default to one copy for the course if the item is not 2 hour. Contact the reserve technician or the librarian to discuss questions about the number of copies.
3. Copy and submit any reprints you require following the fair use guidelines of the Copyright Act of 1976. Please specify if you wish the photocopies to be shelved under the author's name or under your name. The photocopies will be returned to you at the end of the quarter.
Another option is to make short readings available online as electronic reserves (e-reserves). In general electronic reserves are best for journal articles, book chapters and other works with less than 30 pages. File sizes for readings that have more than 30 pages are too large to easily download. We do not scan complete books. There is a limit of 30 articles, etc., per course. Instructors should supply us with one-sided good high contrast photocopies. Alternatively, electronic files such as Word or .pdf files can be transmitted to us. For more information, check the FAQ's for reserves, ereserves, and course paks. Contact us if you are interested or have questions (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Additional information
Lists are processed in the order they are received. For various reasons, including time needed to recall checked out books and to request books from other UW library units, you should allow at least 3 weeks before the first day of classes for the processing of your list. Do not expect something just submitted to be available immediately unless you have cleared it with the reserve technician.
Once processed, your reserve list can be viewed in the UW Libraries' catalog under the Course Reserves button. A paper list is also kept at the reserve desk in the Art Library.
Personal copies are accepted for reserve, at the owner's risk. They will be shelved behind the desk. If not retrieved in person at the end of the quarter, personal copies will be returned by campus mail. The library cannot be responsible for material not returned by students or lost in the mail.
If the UW Libraries do not own a title you need, we will try to purchase a copy as quickly as possible. Allow sufficient time for this process. A general guideline is 6 - 10 weeks - if the book is available. Out of print books will probably not be obtained in time for the current quarter.
Lists may be revised or added to at any time. Allow time for processing.
The UW Copyright Permissions Center (685-7969) has information on Course Paks, should you be considering having your students purchase course packs. This is not part of the library system.

chikungunya fever, viral disease transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes that is characterized by fever, headache, rash, and severe joint and muscle pain. The name chikungunya, which means "that which bends up," is derived from the Kimakonde language of the Makonde people. This African tribe lives on the eastern border between Mozambique and Tanzania, where chikungunya virus was first detected in an epidemic that occurred in 1952–53. The disease was given its name because severe musculoskeletal pain caused affected persons to walk in a stooped posture.
Paul I. Howell, MPH; Prof. Frank Hadley Collins/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Image Number: 9534)The fever is caused by chikungunya virus, which is carried by humans and transmitted between humans by mosquitoes. Wild primates such as monkeys are suspected of serving as natural reservoirs for the virus in Africa. Outbreaks of the illness historically were limited to Africa and India, where Aedes aegypti, the original mosquito vector described for chikungunya virus, thrived. However, viral mutation, climate change, and human travel and migration have caused shifts in the geographic occurrence of chikungunya fever. Mutations in the virus have enabled it to infect a second vector, Aedes albopictus, which is native to Asia but today is considered an invasive species in places with warm, marshlike environments, including certain areas in Australia, on islands in the Indian Ocean, in the southeastern United States, and in Europe. Infected humans traveling from regions where the virus is endemic to regions where A. albopictus is invasive have played a significant role in distributing the disease to previously unaffected parts of the world. Outbreaks of chikungunya fever typically occur following a period of heavy rain, since the resulting pools of water that form provide rich breeding sites for Aedes mosquitoes.
Chikungunya fever is debilitating, though it is rarely life-threatening. Onset of symptoms typically occurs within 3–7 days of being bitten by an infected mosquito, although some persons may not show signs of illness for up to 12 days. The symptoms of the disease resemble those of dengue, with acute illness characterized by sudden fever, headache, chills, nausea, vomiting, severe joint pain (arthralgia), and muscle pain. While many of these symptoms dissipate after a period of 10 days, joint pain may persist for weeks or months. Such chronic arthritis occurs in roughly 10–12 percent of patients.
Infection with chikungunya virus is diagnosed through serological tests for antibodies to the virus and is confirmed through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of viral RNA. There are no vaccines or antiviral agents available for chikungunya fever. Thus, treatment is based on controlling symptoms of pain and fever. This is accomplished primarily through the administration of anti-inflammatory agents such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Chikungunya fever can be prevented by managing Aedes mosquito populations. Using insect repellents and wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants are effective methods of preventing mosquito bites while outdoors. Secure screens in windows and doors and mosquito nets can be used to keep mosquitoes from entering houses or other buildings. In addition, emptying containers and other vessels that fill with rainwater eliminates potential mosquito breeding sites.
A disease similar to chikungunya fever that involved symptoms of fever and joint pain was described in India in 1824. The first epidemic in which the disease and the causative agent were characterized occurred in 1952–53 in an outbreak on the Makonde plateau in Africa. An outbreak in Bangkok in 1958 represented the first known incidence of the disease in Southeast Asia. Outbreaks in India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, the Philippines, and Indonesia occurred in subsequent decades until about the mid-1980s, when the incidence of the disease in these areas decreased.
In 1998–99 chikungunya fever emerged in Malaysia, and in the early 2000s it reemerged in places such as India, Thailand, and Indonesia. The virus also appeared on Réunion, Mauritius, Comoros, and Seychelles—islands located in the western Indian Ocean. Beginning in 2005, a large outbreak occurred on Réunion that affected some 255,000 people by 2006. That same year an epidemic of the disease swept across multiple Indian states, including Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Delhi, with some 1.25 million suspected cases reported. In 2007 chikungunya fever appeared for the first time in Europe, causing illness in more than 200 people in Ravenna, a city in northeastern Italy. The virus was believed to have been carried to Ravenna by a person traveling from an affected region of India. The unexpected outbreak of a tropical disease in this region of the world prompted concern about the invasiveness and adaptive abilities of Aedes mosquitoes in cool climates.
In 2009 a large outbreak of chikungunya fever occurred in Thailand. Between January and June of that year, some 24,000 cases of disease were reported. The outbreak initially affected only southern provinces—those near the border with West Malaysia, which also was experiencing an outbreak of the disease. However, by June cases had begun to appear in the northern provinces of Thailand as well. The disease also spread to Singapore, located on the southern edge of West Malaysia, and to many areas of East Malaysia, located on the northwestern edge of the island of Borneo.

Valpo's Deetjen Signs Pro Contract with Gary SouthShore RailCats
Saturday, June 30, 2012
Valparaiso University's Tyler Deetjen (Saint Charles, Ill./East H.S.) has signed a minor league free agent contract with the Gary SouthShore RailCats of the American Association, an independent professional baseball league.
"Deetjen's a guy that helped us for four years build our program, culminating with our Horizon League championship and NCAA Tournament appearance this year," Valpo head coach Tracy Woodson said. "This is a great opportunity for him."
A southpaw, he was a Second Team All-Horizon League pitcher for the Crusaders in 2012 and named to the Horizon League's All-Tournament Team. He went 8-3 with a 3.12 ERA, with both the win total and ERA ranking second in the league. He set a school record pitching 121.1 innings on the season and ranked third in the conference with 65 strikeouts.
Deetjen ranked fourth in all of NCAA Division I with a 0.82 walk per nine inning ratio, allowing just 11 total free passes. He also was 18th in the nation with a 5.91 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
"He's a kid that throws strikes and relies upon his defense," Woodson added. "He deserves this chance and I'm excited for him."
For his career at Valpo, Deetjen made 56 total appearances in four years, making 45 starts. He posted a 17-15 record with seven complete games. His 17 victories rank him eighth on the career charts. Deetjen ranks third all-time having pitched 311.1 innings in a Brown and gold uniform, striking out 171 and walking just 47.

Minister at last for Wellington's United Reformed Church
4:00pm Wednesday 11th December 2013 in News By Michael Marsh
THE United Reformed Church in Wellington is celebrating the induction of its first minister in five years.
The Rev Jenny Kilgour was appointed to the post at a formal ceremony, filling the post which has been vacant since the departure of Ken Coles.
Rev Kilgour said: "I'm delighted to take the role at the church and the induction was absolutely brilliant.
"It is a fantastic church and has great links to the community, including the foodbank which runs there. It's great it has a minister again."
Rev Kilgour, 66, was born in London and joined Queen Alex-andra's Royal Navy Nursing Corps, qualifying as a state registered nurse and serving in Britain and Germany.
She later moved to Tiverton and joined the United Reformed Church (URC) there before training as a midwife at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.
After entering ministerial training, Rev Kilgour travelled to Africa to work alongside a minister in the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, taking un-paid leave from her job as a midwife.
She then ordained into the Tiverton group of the URC in 2006, working closely with the church in Westleigh as a non-stipendiary minister.
Rev Kilgour added: "I don't know Wellington too well but I did some of my midwifery training here a long time ago.
"From what I have seen so far it is a lovely community town. Some places people live and commute from or just pass through but Wellington doesn't seem like one of those.
"I look forward to getting to know it more and becoming even more involved with the community at the church."
The Rev Kilgour lives in Cullompton with her son, David, his wife Claire and granddaughters Sophia, six, and Elisia, four.

Dear All,
Can anybody tell me, why only air is used for achieving proper combustion. Why not we use only oxygen, which plays a vital role in combustion process, even we know that air contains nitrogen (79%) which is inert and contribute to NOx formation and heat loss.
Dear All,
Can anybody tell me that why TDS limit decreases in boiler water with the increase in the boiler pressure.

I worked at CSG Systems International
Pros – Free popcorn. Given early out on the eve of holidays. Not a horrendous amount of overtime. Interesting and challenging work. Some very nice smart coworkers.
Cons – People there are frightened of making a mistake, frightened of offending "the ear", and afraid to trust each other. Example: small group of developers discussed a laborious paper process that could be replaced by file compare, sounded like they have wanted this for a long time. I'm not a developer but I thought I'd bounce the idea off a developer from another team. Other developer quickly looked around to be sure we were alone, dropped voice to a whisper and said "You HAVE to be careful what you say! There are people who have been here a long time and don't want things to change." The good news is I see they are advertising for an internal auditor so maybe the cloak and dagger era of process improvement will end soon.
Advice to Senior Management – Empower the technical staff to make changes, they know what isn't working and how to fix it. Support the technical staff instead of treating them like they cannot be trusted. Figure out which people are refusing to allow change and figure out what is causing the fear in the technical staff. Maybe an anonymous hotline for whistle-blowers would help. Train the managers on how to be managers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Packers Playbook (aka Hobbjective Analysis): Week 6 at Texans
I think it's time to do a Hobbjective Analysis on a group that has always been overlooked: linemen. I'm guilty of it myself; line play is very complicated and nuanced and I will be the first to admit that I don't know very much about it; if you want to see what sort of technicians and athletes these guys truly are, I highly recommend you check out the "Word of Muth" column over at Football Outsiders (one of my favorite columns by the way). Nevertheless, I personally think that while Aaron Rodgers throwing 6 touchdowns probably was a big factor as to why the Packers were able to clobber the Houston Texans, I think the defensive line deserves even more credit than Rodgers in winning the game for the Packers.
The Situation: It's 11:44 in the second quarter with the Packers taking the early lead in with a 14-0 advantage. Early in the game the Texans had curiously attempted to get their offense started with a pass-heavy strategy but ended up with quarterback Matt Schaub running for his life. By the time the second quarter rolls around, it appears as if the Texans have abandoned this idea and go back to their bread and butter strategy of getting good down and distance situations with All-Pro RB Arian Foster, and setting up the play action pass with QB Matt Schaub and All-Pro WR Andre Johnson.
The formation: The Texans come out in a 2-1-2 formation (2WR-1TE-2RB) with WR Johnson aligned out wide to the left and WR Kevin Walter aligned in the slot to the right. TE Owen Daniels lines up inline along side the right tackle while RB Foster is 7 yards directly behind QB Schaub with FB James Casey forming a offset I formation. The Packers respond with their base 3-4 alignment. The Packers come out with their standard linebacking core of ROLB Clay Matthews, ILB AJ Hawk, ILB DJ Smith and LOLB Erik Walden. With NT BJ Raji out of the game due to an injury sustained versus the Colts, DE Ryan Pickett takes his place and lines up as the 0-technique (to the open side shoulder of the center), while DE CJ Wilson aligns to the right of Pickett and plays the 4-technique (between the guard and tackle), while DE Jerel Worthy aligns to Pickett's left and plays the 3-technique (directly infront of the guard; I admit it's rather hard to judge the defensive line's alignment due to the camera angle, traditionally the NT plays the 0 technique while the DEs play the 5 technique). I've excluded labeling the secondary as their are extraneous in this play, especially with SS Charles Woodson outside the box.

Summary of The Greatest Story Ever Sold Summary of The Greatest Story Ever Sold Reviews for The Greatest Story Ever Sold An Excerpt from The Greatest Story Ever Sold
New York Times columnist Frank Rich examines the trail of fictions manufactured by the Bush administration from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina, exposing the most brilliant spin campaign ever waged
New York Times correspondent Frank Rich examines the trail of fictions manufactured by the Bush administration from 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina, exposing the most brilliant spin campaign ever waged."Occasionally the right man is at just the right place at exactly the right time.... Frank Rich is that man.... A shrewdly observed and reasoned explanation of the motives behind all this horrifically destructive deceit."
When America was attacked on 9/11, its citizens almost unanimously rallied behind its new, untested president as he went to war. What they didn't know at the time was that the Bush administration's highest priority was not to vanquish Al Qaeda but to consolidate its own power at any cost. It was a mission that could be accomplished only by a propaganda presidency in which reality was steadily replaced by a scenario of the White House's own invention-and such was that scenario's devious brilliance that it fashioned a second war against an enemy that did not attack America on 9/11, intimidated the Democrats into incoherence and impotence, and turned a presidential election into an irrelevant referendum on macho imagery and same-sex marriage.
As only he can, acclaimed New York Times columnist Frank Rich delivers a step-by-step chronicle of how skillfully the White House built its house of cards and how the institutions that should have exposed these fictions, the mainstream news media, were too often left powerless by the administration's relentless attack machine, their own post-9/11 timidity, and an unending parade of self-inflicted scandals (typified by those at The New York Times). Demonstrating the candor and conviction that have made him one of our most trusted and incisive public voices, Rich brilliantly and meticulously illuminates the White House's disturbing love affair with "truthiness," and the ways in which a bungled war, a seemingly obscure Washington leak, and a devastating hurricane at long last revealed the man-behind-the-curtain and the story that had so effectively been sold to the nation, as god-given patriotic fact.
-Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times
"Frank Rich has the perfect credentials for writing an account of the Bush administration, which has done so much to blur the lines between politics and show business."
-Ian Buruma, The New York Times Book Review
"A gripping, witty and devastating indictment of President Bush's reliance on public relations to market his Iraq and counterterrorism policies."
-The Washington Post
"Fierce and uncompromising."
-Time Out
"An incisive assault on the administration's message control and word games."
-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Destined to enjoy a healthy shelf life."
-The New York Times

It just seem to be an advertisement/marketing for lawywers and tax advisors and credit card debt relief.
There has been a lot of talk about these financial stimulus packages on the news, newspapers etc but not a lot of information for small businesses like plumbing businesses, as to how to find out if your plumbing business may be eligible or not for one of these grants.
Since the Federal Government in the US announced these stimulus packages twelve months ago, many State Governments also released financial stimulus packages, so that now there are hundred's available. Most plumbers don't have time to sit around and find out where they can find the details to these packages because they are too busy working. But working all the time doesn't mean they are not eligible for one or more of these grants or that they have enough money to pay all the bills every month.
Anyway, if you are a US small business and want more information to see if you and your plumbing business is eligible for financial assistance from one of these packages go to http://www.plumbersmarketing.org and the information is on the right hand side.
Australian Plumbers in Queensland have been advised to inquire through Dept of Trade and Regional Development Industries at http://www.business.qld.gov.au and for other Australian States go to http://www.trdi.gov.au
I hope this information reaches those plumbing businesses who may be eligible for some assistance.
Regards to all,
Jan Smith

Another masterpiece from the company founded by William Shakespeare! No, not THE William Shakespeare. Though, much like his literary namesake, William Shakespeare, Jr. was an innovator. Take the level-wind reel. A pretty standard feature on a lot of today's reels, right? Well, thank Mr. Shakespeare. He patented the idea in 1896. 40+ years later, anglers were in need of a light action reel brake to prevent spools from back-lashing.
So he invented one and it was bye-bye "bird nests". Fast forward to today and you'll see the innovation hasn't stopped. As evidenced by this sleek, lightweight Agility™ Low Profile Baitcast Reel, Shakespeare is still committed to giving anglers of all levels the best for an everyman price!

The former head of the U.S. security team in Libya says the consulate in Benghazi never had enough of what it needed to protect itself.
Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Wood testified Wednesday at Congressional hearings into the September 11th attack on the consulate that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others.
Republicans have accused the State Department of failing to heed demands from security personnel on ground for more help.
Wood described the security in Benghazi as a struggle the entire time he was assigned to Libya. He said there was only one U.S. diplomatic security agent at the consulate just months before the attack.
Deputy Assistant of State Charlene Lamb, who is responsible for diplomatic security, told the hearing Wednesday that Benghazi had the proper number of security officers at the time of the attack based on intelligence and agreements between officials in the field and Washington.
Republican Congressmen Darrell Issa retorted that such an assessment does not ring true to the American people. He said it took just moments to storm the embassy and kill four people.
But Democrats at the hearing pointed out that Republicans have repeatedly cut funds for diplomatic security.
Republicans have also criticized the Obama administration for initially saying the attack on the consulate was part of the protest against an American-made anti-Islam film before later calling it a planned act of terrorism.

Veldheer's dad says surgery went well
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, August 16th, 2013 at 3:05 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Jim Veldheer, the father of Raiders tackle Jared Veldheer, tweeted Friday "Jared is in recovery. All went well. Praise the Lord.''
Veldheer underwent surgery to repair a torn left triceps and likely be placed on the designated for return injured reserve list, meaning the earliest he could return would be in the eighth game of the season on Nov. 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Raiders won't make that move until cutting the roster to the final 53, with Veldheer included in that number. He would then be placed on injured reserve, taking him off the roster, and the Raiders can add another player.

Being in Toronto is a lot like being in Europe. It's very cosmopolitan, just a delightful city. I can tell you now from first-hand experience that the city has some of the friendliest bridge players you could find anywhere.
The first time I went to Toronto, way back when, the airport was called Malton Airport – no mention of "international" at all. When I arrived in mid-August this year, I noticed it is called Toronto Pearson International Airport. Someone told me it was named for the former Prime Minister Lester Pearson, who actually won the Nobel Peace Prize back when I was playing bridge a lot more.
I was greeted by the exquisitely charming Barbara Seagram and her husband, Alex Kornel. Barbara caught up with me at the airport before I could check out the baggage carousels and get myself into trouble. The next few days rushed by so fast I can't keep everything straight in my mind even now, so if I get something out of order, you'll know why.
Getting to know Barbara on the way from the airport made me want to go to the bridge table and be nice to someone – heck, everyone. As many of you probably already know, Barbara pioneered the movement called Zero Tolerance, which means, to sum it up, "Be pleasant to your partner and opponents – or go home!" I can tell you, we could have used some ZT when I first started playing. You had to have a really thick skin to survive.
Barbara told me she picked up the idea for ZT while playing in Bermuda, which has an annual tournament that features everyone dressed properly – no bell bottoms, thank goodness – and being very civil. Barbara says that in Bermuda, they pride themselves on being proper in all ways: "Dress better, behave better." She told me about an experience at her informal club after her visit to Bermuda. Barbara played with a friend who showed up in a suit and tie. "He proceeded to shake hands with each opponent as he sat down and they treated him so well that I couldn't believe these were the same people."
Barbara told me she and Alex used to own the largest bridge club in Canada, the Kate Buckman Bridge Studio. Now their club is smaller. Their games are not restricted by masterpoints but by attitude. Everyone has to be nice if they want to play there.
Some new-fangled practices in bridge are better, after all.
At Barbara and Alex's club, there is a full-time cook. His name is Jimmy, and they tell me the ladies love him. He provides, great food at very inexpensive prices, and all the women want to know if he is married. As I found out, Jimmy makes the best Greek salad in Toronto. While I was there, he gave me a lesson in salad making. Wow!
Barbara was nice enough to take me to Hazel Wolpert's club. It's called, appropriately enough, Hazel's Bridge Club.
Hazel was very charming, as well, and I'm told she is also a superb bridge teacher and a good player. Her son is Gavin Wolpert, recently married to Jenny Ryman (Blue Ribbon Pairs champions), both of whom just won big events in Washington. They are expecting their first baby in September. Hazel's other son, Darren, is also a fine player. Hazel's mother, Phyllis Bresge, was a highly competitive player in the world of duplicate as well. Hazel is loved and respected through the bridge world. Her large club averages about 30 tables on most afternoons.
We also went to Partners, Toronto's newest bridge club. It was impressive.
The following was sent to Barbara by Sarah, a new fan of mine. I think it's quite clever.
"What a doll! Tell BOB L that I don't even need ONE SPADE to dig him. He has stolen my HEART, and if he promises me a DIAMOND, he can live at our CLUB. We'll treat him like the KING he is, and play the fun and interesting game of bridge in our midtown REGAL location. A rousing cheer (but NO TRUMPets) for BOB L and his visit to our wonderful city!"
Well, gotta run back to the bridge table….There's so much more to tell about my adventures in Toronto and the fabulous clubs and people there. Check back soon for more news! Take a look at the gallery below for lots of photos of me having fun in Toronto.

FREEPORT – Maine's best known outdoor sporting goods retailer has developed a unique gift for members of the world champion Boston Red Sox baseball team: Commemorative boots.
Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell celebrates with David Ortiz after Game 6 of baseball's World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2013, in Boston. The Red Sox won 6-1 to win the series.

Image of the Red Sox World Series champions boot, taken from the L.L. Bean blog "TrailMix."
L.L. Bean, which is based in Freeport, announced Thursday on "Trailmix," a company blog, that it would be giving specially designed L.L. Bean boots to Red Sox players and staff.
The boots, according to the blog, will feature a commemorative logo on the red leather upper portion of the boot that reads, "2013 World Champions Boston Strong." The only portion of the boot that won't be red will be the rubber bottoms which will remain tan-colored.
The company says the limited edition boot was designed and sized specifically for the Red Sox team and staff by its "expert boot builders in Brunswick, Maine."
L.L. Bean also saysthe boot will "never be sold," adding that it's the company's way of saying thanks to the Red Sox "for all the Fenway memories."
L.L. Bean was founded in 1912, the same year that Fenway Park was built.

Historic debate on end-of-life bill about to beginBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | February 12,2013Stefan Hard / Staff Photo
Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison, introduces end-of-life bill S. 77 Tuesday in the Senate Chamber of the Statehouse in Montpelier. Ayer is flanked on her right by Sen. Christopher Bray, D-Addison, and Sen. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham. Sen. Robert Hartwell, D-Bennington, is in the foreground right.Sen. Robert Hartwell sat alone in his committee room this morning, poring intently over "Robert Baxter versus the state of Montana."
The 2009 case went all the way to the Montana Supreme Court, where judges weighed the legal implications of allowing doctors to hasten the deaths of their terminally ill patients. The Supreme Court ultimately said it could find "find no indication in Montana law that physician aid in dying provided to terminally ill, mentally competent adult patients is against public policy."
Hartwell and the rest of the Senate will decide later today whether to enshrine in Vermont law a citizen's right to request a lethal dose of medication from their doctor.
The drama surrounding today's vote stems in part from the uncertainty of its outcome. Hartwell, a Bennington County Democrat, was among the four lawmakers who had yet to announce publicly where they stand.
Earlier today, the ranks of the undecideds shrank to three when Sen. John Rodgers announced that he'll be voting in favor of the legislation.
The Senate chamber is packed today with supporters and opponents of a controversial legislation that promises to engender an inspired floor debate.
We'll bring you updates on this historic debate throughout the morning and afternoon, and have the vote to you as soon as it's counted.MORE IN This Just InA stepfather accused of killing his 2-year-old daughter was released from jail Friday night after...

Choose a necklace bottom from the same collection or coordinating metallic color.
Use two connectors to attach necklace top and bottom to each other.
Repeat for other side.
Add more unique style to your necklace by attaching a pendant to one side, on the connector. Pendants slide on or clip in to the connector pieces to attach to necklace.
Pendants can even be added to jump rings on necklace bottoms; in this necklace option you can easily attach any pendant to the center jump ring in the shorter of the two strands.

1. Peta can suck my nuts, dogs, and every other pet, usually (90% of the time,) have a better life in captivity than in the wild, as a matter of fact, if it weren't for human captivity, we wouldn't have Canis Familiaris as we know it today! LICK MY ASSHOLE, PETA!
