The last month or so has been interesting because tons of stuff has happened with the Dolphins that have led to many notions of what is about to happen. Some of those notions are probably well-founded (such as Joey Porter is going to get cut) while others aren't.
I figured today would be a good day to address some of these flights of fancy based on what I know, what experience tells me and, in some cases, what is only an educated guess.
1. Joey Porter. He will get cut. The Dolphins need to get Cameron Wake into games and they can't have Porter being a "progress stopper." Porter cannot stay around as a backup because he'd be a locker room cancer in that role. So Porter has played his final game for the Dolphins. This I know.
2. Gibril Wilson. I was talking to a Dolphins source about Wilson and without prodding, he told me, "All I know is we can get rid of anyone we don't think can do the job without it hurting our ability to get other players." So that tells me the Dolphins are strongly leaning toward getting rid of Wilson if they haven't decided to do so already. A free safety is supposed to be the final line of defense and it seemed like Wilson was instead an open invitation to score touchdowns. Add to that the fact he didn't bring any game-changing plays to the table, and I think you get the idea.
3. Elvis Dumervil. ESPN's Adam Schefter, perhaps the best information man in the business, said during the playoffs that Dumervil would be on "Miami's radar" based on the fact former Denver defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is now Miami's defensive coordinator. Well, Salguero, a relative peon by comparison, is telling you this will not happen. Dumervil will not be a Dolphin in 2010. First, the Broncos aren't going to let him go. Secondly, Dumervil isn't an unrestricted free agent, but rather will be a restricted free agent. Third, the Dolphins will not pay multiple draft picks plus a huge contract for Dumervil when their list of needs is immense and the draft is the most viable way for filling those needs. So we'll see who is right on this one.
4. Brandon Marshall. The Denver wide receiver will be traded. And it will not be to the Dolphins. I'm thinking more likely it will be to a team like Chicago. That part is a guess. The trade of Marshall part of the equation? Book it.
5. Anquan Boldin. This is a totally different situation than Marshall. The price tag has dropped on Boldin and the Cardinals will be looking to get something for him this offseason because he's a free agent after 2010 and they've already identified a replacement for him in Early Doucet. The Dolphins like Boldin. He's tough. He's big. He is not a diva. Did he complain about his contract? Yes. He had a legitimate complaint. Does that make him a bad dude? Absolutely not. The Cards will probably ask a second-round pick for him. Somebody will offer a fourth. Depending on how high the selection, I'd say he could be had for a third rounder. Doesn't mean the Dolphins will do it. But they will absolutely discuss it.
6. Channing Crowder. Many of you on my twitter, which you should be following are asking if Crowder will be cut based on his agreement with Porter on several issues during their radio appearance this week. That is not Crowder's biggest concern. His concern should be having a great offseason so that next year he can start 16 games, which he has not done since arriving in 2005. Crowder finished fifth on the team in tackles last season. Fifth. He had fewer than half the tackles he had in 2008. It was a bad year for him. That's the type of stuff that gets you replaced, not a couple of sentences on one radio show. Bottom line: I think Crowder stays.
7. Ted Ginn Jr. Dan Marino, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, recently said Ginn has the makings of a No. 1 receiver, that all he needs is time to develop. Salguero the peon disagrees. Oh, Ginn has the speed. But he doesn't seem to have the temperment or quickness or hands to be a No. 1 receiver. Now, I would never question what's in a man's heart. But I've seen this guy run out of bounds too many times when he could have gained an extra couple of yards. I've seen him drop too many passes in pressure situations. And last year he he regressed rather than progressed. I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid any more. I leave that to Marino.
8. Ronnie Brown. Many of you have asked if the Dolphins are going to re-sign him to a new contract. He is under contract for 2010 if there is no salary cap. And it is a virtual certainty there will be no salary cap. So I ask you, what is Miami's motivation for giving him a new long-term contract now? It seems wiser to let him come to training camp and prove himself (yes, again). It also seems wiser to get a better grasp on what the labor agreement is going to look like. Signing him to a long-term deal now is simply not wise. I assume the Dolphins recognize this.
9. Chad Pennington. He only works for the Dolphins under a strict set of circumstances: That he is healthy, first and foremost. And that he accepts that he is the backup to Chad Henne. Pennington is one of those guys that gets it. He won't be trouble as a backup. He won't step on Henne's toes. And he would bring value as an insurance policy against a Henne injury that neither Pat White nor Tyler Thigpen can offer. He is experienced. He is a great leader. But his return is absolutely, positively not done. I would say his return right now is 50-50 at best.
10. Jason Taylor. He is the antithesis to Joey Porter in that he doesn't go off like a cocked pistol ready to shoot everything in order to hit a small target. Taylor is more calculating. He was every bit as angry in 2010 as Porter because he was, in fact, platooned more than Porter. Taylor lost more snaps than Porter did as the Dolphins used third-down to get Cameron Wake and even Charlie Anderson more snaps. That made Taylor so unhappy he cooled on returning for 2010. Now, he obviously understands that if Porter isn't coming back, his chances of returning on a one-year contract improve. But the Dolphins are making no commitment to Taylor. And he, frankly, is making none to them. He'd like to be back in Miami if he's going to get an opportunity to rush the passer and play significant downs. If that's not the case, life will not end for Taylor. He will play somewhere. But to pretend to know where is crazy at this early stage in the process.

WEYBRIDGE — "What has been most inspiring about Vermont is that I've been able to stay put here. Nothing is as good as stability for getting your work done."
Julia Alvarez, a Weybridge writer who has also taught at Middlebury College for nearly 25 years, wrote those lines in her essay "A Vermont Writer from the Dominican Republic."
BRANDON — Sixteen emus on a farm in Brandon have died in what is Vermont's first documented case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Area veterinarian Keely Henderson sent brain tissue and blood samples from the dead emus to a University of New Hampshire lab last Wednesday, Sept. 21, and the results were received late next day.
MIDDLEBURY — An Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) committee will spend the next three months studying the feasibility of offering a second-language program to students throughout the seven-town school district.
Most students in the ACSU currently do not have access to second language instruction until grade 8, though Weybridge Elementary currently operates a successful Spanish program. Officials at Mary Hogan Elementary in Middlebury are also now exploring the prospect of offering a second language.
STARKSBORO — A Starksboro family is coping in the wake of the loss of their home to a fire on Monday, Sept. 19.
Eric Cota, a longtime employee of the Bristol Road Department and a volunteer firefighter, his wife Catina and their two children, Matthew and Jordyn, were not injured in the fire, but the family lost their two dogs, Rascal and Sheba, to the blaze.

MIDDLEBURY — The president of eCorp English acknowledged on Thursday that her company's Middlebury launch has been slowed by low cash flow and a major loan agreement that fell apart, but said a recent infusion of new money and the imminent unveiling of its new software product should right eCorp's ship and put it back on schedule to becoming a major employer in the area.
"The message is, 'We are not going belly-up, we are not leaving Middlebury,'" said Deborah Schwarz, founder and president of eCorp English.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory Union's former business manager is suing her past employer, claiming — among other things — that she was bullied by the district's top executive and then placed on administrative leave after she complained about his behavior.
Sharon L. Stearns, who served as ACSU business manager for nine years prior to resigning last spring, filed her four-count civil suit in Rutland County Superior Court on Sept. 13.
BRISTOL — At a selectboard meeting Monday, town officials in Bristol were tallying up the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene, exploring plans for more infrastructure repairs and discussing how much help they could get from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"All the roads are back open and we're working with FEMA to put in all of our costs," said Chairman Joel Bouvier.
But exactly what those costs will add up to is still unknown.

International Variability in the Ross Sea
Project Description
The Ross Sea, a marginal Antarctic sea south of New Zealand, has been
studied since the days of the Scott/Amundsen expeditions. It is the
site of extensive penguin, bird and mammal colonies, and also the home
of two significant scientific bases, McMurdo Station (US) and Stazione
Baia de Terra Nova (Italy). Its oceanography is relatively well known,
including ... the physical oceanography and hydrography, nutrient
concentrations (nitrate and silicic acid), and phytoplankton biomass
and species composition. However, marked variations in these variables
occur spatially and temporally. Indeed, the variations with time are
the greatest factor in the Ross Sea habitat. For example, throughout
much of the winter the Ross Sea is ice covered, and no incident
radiation is available to drive photosynthesis. In contrast, during
the summer months the Ross Sea is ice-free, and large accumulations of
phytoplankton biomass occur.
In addition to these seasonal changes, variations among years occur in
all oceanographic variables, whether they be current velocities and
directions, ice concentration, winds, or phytoplankton
productivity. The causes and consequences of these interannual
variations, however, are poorly known. They likely have both local and
remote drivers; that is, ice concentrations are likely controlled by
the Antarctic circumpolar wave observed by White et al. (1999), as
well as by basin-wide changes induced by El Nino. Regardless of the
causes, the degree of variation among years in biological variables is
unknown, and this is what IVARS seeks to explore. Ultimately we hope
to understand not only the causes, but also the consequences to the
food web of the region.
How will we assess the interannual differences in biological
processes? We first will collect as much historical data from the
region from various cruises conducted in the past three decades and
generate a climatology or long-term mean of both nutrients (nitrate
and silicic acid) and chlorophyll concentrations. This will enable us
to compare results collected during our cruises to assess the degree
of variation from those observed earlier. The second approach is to
collect, from a pre-defined sampling grid, nutrient and phytoplankton
information using standard ship-board sampling procedures. Two cruises
per year are planned: one in mid- to late-December (the period of
maximum productivity and phytoplankton biomass), and one in
mid-February (the end of the growing season). A total of five field
seasons will be undertaken, with the first in 2001-2002 having been
already completed. By comparing the nitrate data from each cruise to
that of "pre-bloom" water (found prior to phytoplankton growth early
in the growing season), seasonal productivity can be calculated and
compared with that of previous years, hence quantifying the
interannual variations in seasonal productivity.
The third component of IVARS is the deployment of two moorings, each
with an elaborate suite of instruments designed to investigate the
proximate causes of the limitation of phytoplankton growth. The
locations of the moorings are placed where historically there are two
different phytoplankton assemblages. The first (Calinectes), located
north of Ross Island, is normally dominated by diatoms, whereas the
second (Xiphias) is dominated by the haptophyte Phaeocystis
antarctica. These phytoplankton types have extremely different roles
in the local food web and biogeochemical cycles. Each mooring will
have the following instruments on it: a fast repetition rate
fluorometer (FRRF), a nitrate analyzer, a silicic acid analyzer, a
whole water sampler, two additional fluorometers, a sediment trap,
thermistors, a CTD, and current meters. The aim of each mooring is to
provide continuous sampling of the surface layer properties to get a
closely spaced measurement of the variations within each growing
season. In addition, the FRRF gives an assessment of the degree of
limitation by inorganic nutrients. It has been shown that iron becomes
limiting in the austral summer (e.g., Olson et al., 2000), although
the extent and onset of this limitation is unknown. Using the FRRF
will give a sensitive measure of the degree of iron limitation through
time. The nitrate data will allow for continuous estimates of seasonal
production (and its short-term variations), and the silicic acid
measurements will allow for the estimation of diatom productivity (as
Phaeocystis antarctica does not use silica). Diatoms are often
considered to be more strongly iron limited than other species, but it
is uncertain if this is true in the Ross Sea. Furthermore, the ratio
of nitrate:silicate uptake is another indicator of iron stress in
diatoms, and will provide a separate estimate from the bulk community
measurements provided by the FRRF. Finally, the sediment trap will
allow estimates of the losses of organic material through the water
column, which can be compared to productivity and biomass estimates to
construct a one-dimensional budget of nitrogen (Smith and Asper,
Using this three-tiered approach, we hope to accurately assess the
variations in several important variables of the Ross Sea, and their
relationships to the food web of the region as well as to large-scale
forcing. Hopefully this record will also allow for an assessment of
subtle changes that might occur in future years in response to global
climate change. Such changes have already been observed in the
hydrographic conditions of the region (e.g., Jacobs et al., 2002), but
this would be the first attempt to relate biological responses of the
lower portion of the food web to large-scale changes in surface layer
properties that occur as a result of climate changes.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Latina Employees Demoted and Terminated for Opposing Discrimination
SAN JOSE — Modesto, Calif.-based almond processor Fisher Nut Company violated federal law by retaliating against Latina employees who participated in a discrimination claim filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), according to a lawsuit filed today by the federal civil rights agency.
The EEOC's investigation found that a group of Latina employees suffered numerous consequences for having attended an informal meeting that resulted in a discrimination charge being filed with the Commission. Some faced verbal threats and irrational warnings from their immediate supervisors; in one case, a worker was warned for "laughing during the course of the work day." All but one of the workers were moved from various other jobs to the entry-level almond sorting position, widely considered the least desirable work at the plant. Ultimately, all the women were fired within two months of the informal meeting.
One of the women said, "At first, I did not understand why I was being transferred to almond sorting. But then I saw friends transferred there too, friends who had joined the discrimination claim against the company. We were constantly under close supervision. I felt we were being punished due to the claim we helped file. Later we were told in a meeting that we were being fired because Ron Fisher was very angry due to the discrimination claim. And after eight years of working for Fisher Nut without a single warning, I was terminated."
Retaliation for reporting employment discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin, and it protects workers who speak out about such offenses. After first trying to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement, the EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Fisher Nut Company, Civil Action No. CV 10-01794 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division), and seeks monetary relief, including emotional distress and punitive damages, on behalf of the women affected by the retaliation, in addition to injunctive relief to prevent a recurrence of this type of discrimination.
According to EEOC Regional Attorney William R. Tamayo, "To effectively enforce the law, EEOC must ensure that workers may come forward with a claim without the fear of retaliation by their employer. In this case, it was a priority to defend workers vulnerable to retaliation that could potentially be hidden by the seasonal nature of their jobs."
The EEOC's San Francisco District Director Michael Baldonado said, "Punishing the employee who participates in an EEOC charge will only multiply your problems." He noted that the number of retaliation charges filed with the EEOC in fiscal year 2009 (33,613) was more than double the number of sexual harassment charges filed (12,696) and has overtaken race discrimination (33,579 charges) as the number one problem alleged by workers filing complaints with the agency.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Oklahoma Flood Control Dams Provide Multiple Benefits
Oklahoma has 2,107 flood control dams in 61 counties that have been constructed by local units of government (primarily conservation districts) with the assistance of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Watershed Program.
The primary purpose of the dams is flood control, but they also provide secondary benefits such as fish and wildlife habitat, livestock water, irrigation water, and fishing and recreational areas.
Over forty of these dams are considered to be multipurpose dams that provide municipal and/or recreational areas or have added water storage for wildlife or irrigation. City government agencies or state agencies are usually cosponsors of these dams and paid for additional water storage beyond that needed for flood control.
There are 129 watershed projects in Oklahoma that have been planned and implemented by local people with assistance from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.
2,107 flood control dams have been constructed in 61 Oklahoma counties. These watershed projects that also include thousands of conservation practices provide over $81 million in average annual benefits.
For additional information about watershed projects in the state visit the Oklahoma Conservation Commission website at: http://conservation.ok.gov or visit your local conservation district and NRCS office.
This is one of many examples of how local, state and federal government agencies have worked together to utilize the Natural Resources Conservation Service Watershed Program to address natural resource needs and improve the quality of life for thousands of Oklahomans.
North Deer Creek Dam No. 1 in Pottawatomie County is one of the dams that was constructed for flood control , municipal water supply and recreational areas.

Scabies in Children
What is scabies?
Scabies is an infestation of mites (tiny insects) in the skin, characterized by small red bumps and intense itching. This highly contagious condition often spreads from person to person while they are sleeping together in the same bed or have close personal contact. The itching is caused by the mites burrowing into the skin where they lay eggs that hatch a few days later. Scabies can affect people of all ages but mostly occurs in children and young adults.
What are the symptoms of scabies?
It may take between four to six weeks for a child to develop symptoms of scabies after coming in contact with an affected person.
In children younger than 2 years of age, the lesions caused by the mites tend to occur on the head, neck, palms, and soles. In older children, the lesions usually are on the hands, between the fingers, wrists, belt line, thighs, belly button, in the groin area, around the breasts, and in the armpits.
The following are the most common symptoms of scabies. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Itching, usually severe
- Rash, with small pimples or red bumps; sometimes burrows can be seen
- Scaly or crusty skin (with advanced conditions)
How is scabies diagnosed?
In diagnosing scabies, the skin and skin crevices are examined by your child's doctor. A sample of skin, obtained by scraping the skin, may be examined under a microscope to confirm the presence of mites.
What is the treatment for scabies?
Scabies is treatable, and members in a family/home should be treated at the same time. Treatment should be repeated in 1-2 weeks to eliminate any newly hatched eggs following the initial treatment. Specific treatment will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
- Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
- Extent of the infestation
- Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- Expectations for the course of the infestation
- Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
- Applications of prescription creams and lotions, such as permethrin, topical sulfur and lindane solutions
- Oral antihistamine medication (to help relieve itching)
- In some cases, additional topical ointments are recommended (like topical steroids for management of post-scabies rash)
In addition, it is important to wash all clothes and bedding in hot water and dry in a hot dryer. Clothing and other objects that cannot be washed (for example, pillows, stuffed animals) should be placed in a plastic bag for at least one week.
The itching may continue for many weeks after the initial treatment of the scabies. If it is still present after this time, or if new burrows (which look like tiny wavy lines, often seen between the fingers) appear, retreatment may be needed and your doctor should be consulted.

Technology & Altruism
Technology is building bridges between people on opposite sides of the globe, but it is also building ever stronger walls between neighbours. Some people are surrounding themselves with modern technology while paying little attention to the needs of others. Others use technology to better understand their fellow man to overcome physical distance, establishing relationships of mutual solidarity around the globe.
Whether driving a car, planting a bomb, sending a spam E-mail or signing a contract, technology extends our realm of influence. Usually, however, it does not extend the senses that we rely on to give us feedback about the consequences of our actions. An unfortunate dynamic of modern technology is that it often works through competition; many technologies benefit early adopters at the expense of non-adopters. Ancient man must have been satisfied when he learnt how to kill mammoths by driving them over precipices. This seemed to offer great benefits - until everyone else adopted the technology, driving the mammoths to extinction.
The inherent competition of weapons technologies will need no underlining to anyone familiar with the nuclear arms race. Could anyone say that the development of nuclear weapons has made their lives safer? Social critics such as Ivan Illich and Neil Postman pointed out that this phenomenon is not confined to weapons; many technologies develop a momentum of their own which takes them beyond the point of counterproductivity at which they become self-defeating. Much of the convenience they offer occurs by inconveniencing others. Cars for example, offer increased speed and comfort of travel at the expense of non-drivers, who find that cities are traffic-choked, unhealthy places no longer designed for pedestrians. Televisions were sold as devices to educate, inform and entertain, whilst computers were ushered into businesses amidst talk of 'paperless offices'.
Considerable effort is required to defy exhortations to the contrary and reflect altruistically on how each new technology would affect not only our lives but also the well-being of others. Difficult enough on a personal level (if I get a car, how much extra work will I have to do to keep it running? Are there enough cars on the roads already? What about Peak Oil?...), it is utterly impossible to grasp the full effects of technologies on a wider level. Some technologies, such as nuclear power require a large scale of organisation, and pose potentially catastrophic risks even to those who do not adopt them. Others, such as solar or wind power, are inherently local in their operation and allow people to run their own risks.
Limited liability corporations of the 19th century operated within a very strict legal framework which regulated their ability to undertake risky ventures and spread the gain from doing so throughout society. Last century, however, that balance shifted as an ugly nexus of political and economic power formed. An elaborate framework of intellectual property laws was built that stressed the primacy profit maximization (even over the safety of the public or the natural environment) and the media was used to misinform the public and stifle discussion of their wider risks of new technologies. Meanwhile, deregulation removed most of the frameworks designed to protect people from the selfish short termism of capitalism. Since over 50% of all US scientists are funded (directly or indirectly) by the military, and most of the rest are funded by large corporations, it should be no surprise that most modern technologies do little to boost our capacity for altruism.
One often unregarded technology is the money system itself. As the engine for most of their development, it is key to understanding the properties of modern technologies. It is often mistaken to be neutral in operation, but in fact its anonymity discourages altruism in favour of exploitative rent-seeking, whilst its centralization encourages undemocratic, large scale undertakings. We are working on an alternative, developing a non-zero sum, distributed economic system.
Modern technology is changing mankind as much as it is changing our planet. What we do and say, even how we think is being subtly changed by our machines. The logic of the all pervasive computer is inspiring a cold, mechanistic view of the world that emphasises objective reality and lead us away from the subjective realities of our emotional and spiritual sides. Mass production denies our uniqueness, while communication technologies and the ubiquitous internet and disrupt our sense of place.
Maintaining a faith in technology to solve our probloems is increasingly difficult in light of its lengthening history of creating them. Nevertheless, even after US Senators were attacked with weaponised anthrax from US government labs, they continue to permit the bioengineering of new superviruses, allegedly for defensive purposes. Leaving aside such obvious folly, many technologies such as coal, CFCs or DDT that originally appeared benign have lead to unexpected and increasingly serious problems, so to rely on technology alone seems likele to prove vain and self-destructive. Instead, we believe it is time to realise the inner truth that all of life is interconnected and interdependent. Even as it homogenises our culture, technology is interlinking our lives. A global consciousness is arising amongst a younger generation who have more shared experiences and viewpoints than their ancestors could ever have had. The internet, air travel and even photos of the earth from space all affect how we see ourselves. The increased range of action given us by technology means that no group of people can be wholly immune from danger whilst others are at risk. More and more of mankind's problems require that we abandon selfish competition in favour of exploitative altruistic cooperation if we are to survive and prosper.
Technology could be exploited by a financial elite to insulate themselves physically and mentally from their fellow man — to refuse to engage with them as individual people, but to deal with them as if they were numbers on a computer screen — to 'objectify' them and treat them with the cold, calculating, impersonal logic of the machines on which 'developed' societies appear to have become dependent. Such an elite would use increasingly advanced machines to guard their doors and to effectively 'edit out' the materially disadvantaged from their lives. Locked in an escapist world of digital culture, denying their essential connection to others and to the natural world, they would probably squander the world's natural resources in a series of high technology resource wars.
Alternatively, if people can make the change from fear to love, technology can help us all to meet both our physical needs and our quest for meaning and autonomy. Its effects should give us cause for hope. Of the modern technologies, the internet stands out as a positive influence on the people of the world, putting us in contact with one another, helping us understand the magnitude of the common challenges we face.
Ultimately, mankind's salvation does not lie in more or faster machines. All technology is, in the words of the poet Thoreau, but 'improved means to an unimproved end'. As long as we are at war with one another and with the world around, the ability to act faster and more effectively will not help anyone. Increased technology has however made clearer mankind's dilemma as expressed by Martin Luther King: 'The choice is not between non-violence and violence, but between non-violence and non-existence.'

COLUMBUS-- Are you looking for a wedding set that's fashionable and classic? Do you want it to still expresses your individuality and not effortlessly duplicated?
Then you are undoubtedly on trend for the most popular Bridal Engagement Rings of Winter 2018! Here's what forecasters and business experts say are the hot items for this year's bridal fine jewelry, just in time for Argo & Lehne Jewelers Bridal Event!
Origin & Old Inspired
In an age of tech and digital, we tend to take comfort in the nostalgia of vintage items. Considering that the jewelry is commonly one of a kind or a rare find, classic lends itself to individuality.
In an era of mass produce, it's necessary to shine in your own way. Vintage inspired is desirable because it evokes the sentiment and romance of years past.
Often the methods of vintage jewelry are very alluring because of the gorgeous skillfullness such as hand engraving.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is not a new metallic, but since Pantone revealed rose quartz as color of the year in 2016, it has had a resurgence.
First seen in the 19th century in Russia, it's a blend of yellow gold and copper. Rose gold has a warmth and softness that exudes romance. It's a very durable metal and doesn't require rhodium plating or dipping like white gold.
Because it is feminine and fashionable, we love it. Because it's unexpected and that makes it unique, we also love it.
Fragile Setups
Lifestyles have changed and many feel comfortable with a more minimalist look. We are seeing many customers who are interested in a delicate setting.
Brides are placing more emphasis on a single sparkling diamond and less on the band. They are purchasing classic solitaires or delicately accented engagement mountings.
This elegant and simple look also allows the wearer to emphasize her personality by stacking alternate bands in a variety of metals and shapes. This also gives her the versatility to change-up her ring daily by wearing the piece in different alternatives of stacks.
Colorful Gemstones
Using colored gems has been favored in both vintage and contemporary jewelry.
People and couples are often drawn to a stone because of the color or meaning of the stone. It really makes the ring an original and attaches significance to the piece.
We're starting to see these luscious pops of color as center stones, accented stones and on bands to complement the wedding ring. More and more we are also noticing ovals of all colors set in an east west facing mounting, which can be very chic.
Three Stone Rings
Thank you Meghan Markle for bringing back the enduring three stone involvement ring, wonderfully fit for a princess!
We love Meghan's ring for several reasons, including the heritage diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection and the cushion cut. Oh so elegant and gorgeous with such view of past, present and future.
Custom Styles
There are so many looks to choose from and so many elements from different rings calling your name, but why can't you find the one?!
Or perhaps, it's just the opposite and you can tell an individual what you don't like but you aren't sure what you do like.
Not to dwell ... there is always custom! Modification has become more popular than ever with millennials who want to be a part of the total design involvement in creating a piece that is truly special to them.
Choosing the one for you!
How to pick what's right for you? Pin all you like, but you really need to start trying on! It's common to love a ring in a photo, but it isn't until you try that piece on that you here are able to understand if the look is right for you.
An awesome start is at Argo & Lehne Jewelers Bridal Event which runs from January 22-27. They will have a substantial options of styles for men and women at exclusive event pricing. There will be thousands of rings to sneak peek including a private trunk show with check here Whitehouse Brothers (a local Cincinnati designer with vintage styles), Venetti and Dora. Thursday Jan 25th at 5:30 pm they will have Draughts and Diamonds-- An Intro to Diamond Buying with tasty beer provide by Seventh Son. Customers will have the opportunity to be introduced to their "Argo Approved" bridal vendors.
They are also giving a $50 gift card to the Refectory Restaurant to the first 20 customers who schedule a custom appointment. The gift card will be acquired after your consultation, and can be used for a delightful dinner to discuss the attractive designs you created with your design professionals.

HDI images do not use the standard IBM partition table, but a proprietary IPL1 partition table defined by NEC for the PC-98.
My work in DOSBox-X has made it possible for IMGMOUNT to read PC-98 IPL1 partitions and handle FAT filesystems with 256, 512, or 1024 byte per sector formatting, therefore HDI images can now be mounted directly in DOSBox-X.
If you're wondering, I was able to find some scraps of information on the IPL1 partition table by poking around the source code to GNU parted.

The solution to your health and performance goals:
- Gold standard service
- A team you can trust
- Your health - Our focus
A huge thank you to everyone at Hatts, but especially John who has helped me from injury and surgery, to not just recover, but to make me better than I was before! This is a huge gift that will set me in good stead for the rest of my life. John is informative, honest and enthusiastic and inspired me to do my bit, which is putting the work in, and the results have been fantastic. Everyone from the receptionists to the rehab team are so friendly, kind and professional.
Delighted to be pain free! Thanks to Ben and his excellent care I've got happy feet! James' physio and Hannah's rehab have got me back running again too. Would highly recommend to anyone, it pays to get those niggles sorted and be able to live an active lifestyle. Thanks everyone!
I cannot rate the Pilates class I attend highly enough. I am continually impressed by the attention to each individual's limitations from our various ailments. At the same time we are challenged to build strength further and I have seen a real improvement over the course of the last year. Rich is an excellent Pilates instructor, providing an hour of calm in a very busy world and I always look forward to my weekly recharge at the Clinic.
Superb treatment from start to finish. Rich was not only brilliant at addressing the problem with my lower back but enabled me to understand how to prevent the problem in the future. Thanks to Rich and the team for a first class service.
"Well what a treat! Walked off feeling so comfortable and on Cloud 9. Fabulous experience and will definitely go back"

Fort Lewis College quarterback Tim Jenkins will get a chance to show his skills against Division I talent Friday in the desert.
Jenkins was selected to play in the second-annual Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game at 7 p.m. Friday in Tucson, Ariz.
Six players from the inaugural edition of the game, which pits NFL Draft-eligible seniors against each other, were selected in the draft, while 61 were invited to NFL training camps. With scouts from the NFL, Canadian Football League and Arena Football League present, Jenkins will have a shot potentially to turn heads as a Division II player against a crop of mostly Division I players, including Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist, Oklahoma defensive tackle Jamarkus McFarland, TCU linebacker Kenny Cain and Michigan State defensive back Mitchell White, among others.
Players report today before a weigh-in and fan day Monday, followed by practice and a banquet on Tuesday. More practices follow Wednesday and Thursday before Fridays contest, offering ample opportunites to impress talent evaluators.
Jenkins battled injuries as a senior, playing in just six games. But in those contests, he completed 161 of 301 passes for 1,817 yards and eight touchdowns against eight interceptions. He ended his career third in school history in passing yards (8,857), fourth in touchdown passes (47) and second in completion percentage with a minimum of 500 attempts (.583).
The game will be broadcast on the ESPN online streaming website WatchESPN.com.

Germany says Bieber's monkey going nowhere
BERLIN — German customs authorities say Justin Bieber's monkey is going nowhere, despite a request of the animal shelter where it's living that it go to a zoo.
Mally the monkey was seized by customs March 28 when Bieber failed to produce its papers after landing in Munich.
The Munich shelter said Tuesday it received an email last week purporting to be from Bieber's representatives saying they were "looking into the idea of placing Mally at a zoo in Germany" and asking for recommendations. Bieber's representative didn't immediately respond to an email for comment.
But customs spokesman Thomas Meister says that Mally will stay in the shelter until Bieber or someone with his power of attorney gets in touch with them directly.
Bieber has until May 17 to provide Mally's paperwork.

Or perhaps I should have called it, 'Do you remember?'.
I was thinking today, whilst waiting about 10 seconds for my Nicky Clarke Straighteners to heat up, about the old days and the first hair tool I owned. It was this Babyliss 4×4 kit, a white and yellow creation with interchangeable plates.
I am guessing it was about £15 from Argos.
For those of you who don't know, when I was growing up there wasn't tons of choice like there is now. These hair plates, were da bomb. They:
1. Had four interchangeable heads
2. Took about 20-30 mins to heat up properly. You would plug it in and leave it for as long as possible then come back to do your hair and…
3. Even then every hair style I did with it never stayed in. Everything dropped out as quickly as it was put in.
There was the straightener attachement which I never used (nor did I know anyone who did use it), because it just wasn't hip back then – the fine waver which kind of worked but would drop out in about 1 hour, and the loose waving plate which was a whole other level of useless and then the crimper. Oh beloved crimper!
The crimper was the only one that worked properly in the hair and it sure felt soft and fuzzy, transforming your hair into a pillow like airyness but boy was it ugly. Boy IS it ugly.
So tell me –
