Finding valuable information concerning jewelry can be difficult. Because of all the vast knowledge that is available, it can be difficult to know which ones to apply. This article contains answers to your everyday jewelry concerns and questions.
Don't use harsh chemicals like turpentine or bleach to clean jewelry. These can erode both the color and the materials of your jewelry.
Always keep your jewelry in a place that doesn't experience extreme temperatures or humidities. It's best to store it in a closed box, like a jewelry box, or a drawstring bag. Certain metals will be tarnished when exposed to humidity or air. Certain metals, such as bronze, may not polish well, even though silver polishes work well to remove tarnish. The polish may remove the surface coating and then the metal underneath, such as copper, becomes visible.
When shopping for diamonds, it's best to comparison shop. Look at what you want very closely, and keep that in mind so you can compare it with other diamonds you look at. There are ways to hide some of a diamond's imperfections, so be very particular about each one you view.
Look at what they are wearing now. Do they like hoops or studs? Does the person prefer chokers or loose fitting necklaces? This should give you a grasp of their tastes, and some ideas about what to buy for them.
Before you think about picking up new jewelry, check into what the latest trends are to get a sense of what's of value. If there is one thing better than finding the perfect, most heart-stopping bauble, it would be snagging the piece at a wonderful price!
Be sure to at least inquire about the insurance that is available when you buy jewelry from a reputable jeweler. If it is damaged, these policies dictate whether or not the jeweler will replace or fix your item of jewelry. Some jewelers have insurance policies that cover lost of stolen jewelry, also.
If you want to collect costume jewelry, concentrate on getting quality peices. It is also an investment worth your time, so avoid any pieces that have too many flaws, even though collecting costume jewelry can get expensive. A piece of costume jewelry that has been treated well can be a treasure for years to come.
Think about how best ways to look after your jewelry. Different kinds of jewelery will require you take care of them in different ways. What works for one material could damage another. Go ahead and ask a professional jeweler to find out exactly how you should be caring for your jewels.
Unfortunately, if you are dead set on real gold jewelry, you will run into the problem of high prices. , even though you can save some money You just need to be a little flexible about the number of karats you will accept. An 18 karat piece is comprised of no less than 75 percent of pure gold, which is generally considered by many to be the most optimal combination of quality and price.
Onyx and crystal, for example, can be especially striking and make a strong impression. It is certainly possible to spend less and come out with a piece of jewelry that is absolutely remarkable.
Sometimes, you may find difficulty displaying your jewelry properly at a craft sale or flea market. Always try to be as creative as possible, as this will draw the most eyes to your display. stands, Racks, boxes and baskets can all be used as jewelry displays.
A lot of people are starting to combine silver jewelry with yellow gold jewelry when they pick out pieces to wear. To do this correctly, you need a piece that combines them both. If you do not do this, the look will appear tacky and not stylish.
It can be quite tempting to buy a piece of jewelry that is out of your price range, so be sure to have a budget, and stick to it. Buying a piece of jewelery you cannot afford is not good for your personal finances. If you are young and money is an issue, select a less expensive ring to start with. Later, when they can better afford it, they can update it to something more substantial.
If you want to wear a necklace from your childhood years without looking immature or old-fashioned, layer it with larger, more modern necklaces to create a grouped look. A small heart pendant or simple cross adds personality to a bevy of other necklaces, whether they have something in common or not.
Budget is an important consideration to make before you start shopping for that special engagement ring. Purchasing a diamond is often a thing that is approached on an emotional level. It is easy to lose yourself in the moment and forget about your budget.
Get something simpler and then upgrade to what you want later when you can afford it if the one you really want is not affordable right now. It's always possible to add the ring you originally wanted as part of an anniversary gift, or any other occasion that is momentous. In some instances your jeweler may offer a program where they will buy back the simple ring in partial trade for your better one.
Ask yourself what kind of effect you want your jewelery to have. Find the right balance between your outfit and your jewelery as the main point of focus.
The engagement rings you choose with your partner should reflect your personalities and your lifestyle. It is very important that your personal style and how you live together with your partner reflects the ring you choose. You will be talking about the ring for many years so you should make sure that it is a good reflection of your personality.
Before making a purchase, make sure you have some knowledge about jewelry. Having read this article, you should be ready to start your search for that right piece. Your future efforts selecting, caring for and giving jewelry will be more successful when you make use of the tips you've just read.

Over the past several months, I've gradually come to use Evernote for all kinds of tasks, from managing my writing to jotting down grocery ideas to drafting articles. It's free and it's become my single most used application on every computer I use – my Mac (where I do most of my work), my laptop (remember the frugal laptop? I'm still using it!), and even my iPod Touch, which is constantly in my pocket. A big nod to Manny, a long-time Simple Dollar reader who
introduced me to Evernote (see comment #5 on that thread).
What Is Evernote?
Evernote is basically a note manager that synchronizes the notes across computers. You can create and edit notes on any machine with a web browser and several types of mobile phones. You can save pictures, web pages, voice recordings, text – anything you want.
The thing that I find really useful, though, is that if you take a picture of a handwritten note – if it's legible at all – Evernote will automatically extract the text for you. So, let's say I'm at a meeting and I've jotted down a few notes that I might want to write about later on. I can just take pictures of the notes with my camera, stick them on Evernote, and boom – I've got the text.
The best part? It's free (well, not entirely – there's some very high level of data beyond which you have to have a paid account (40 MB), but I've never reached it). I have upgraded to a premium account there, simply because I have a deep philosophy of supporting what I use, but you can use it to your heart's content without paying a dime. They pay the bills with a small ad on the site.
Obviously, you wouldn't want to store highly sensitive personal information on here, but for 99% of the notes you'll take, Evernote simply works.
7 Ways I Use Evernote to Improve My Finances
Given that Evernote makes text notes basically ubiquitous, this means I can update them pretty much wherever I'm at. This is perfect for little pieces of personal finance data that you'll want to retrieve later on. Here are seven examples of how I'm using Evernote in that regard (note that you could also use a pad and pencil for these, but that having them in electronic form is almost always more convenient).
1. I use it to track my spending on the go
I keep a note going where I just record my expenses. A great example of this was on vacation, where my parents and I had agreed to split all expenses equally. During the vacation, whenever we simply paid for an activity or something else, I jotted it down in Evernote. Then, at the end of the trip, it was quite easy – I just copied the numbers into a spreadsheet and automatically totaled them, easy as pie.
2. I use it to jot down prices for comparison shopping
Evernote is incredibly useful as a price book. Whenever I'm in a store and I spot a great price on an item, I jot down that price and where I found it. Later, I'll compare it to other prices, both online and off. If you're shopping for a large purchase, like a piece of furniture or a television, this can be a great way to compare prices.
However, I've found it really useful for little things. Since we split a lot of our shopping for food and domestic items between Fareway (most food), Sam's Club (some bulk purchases), Target (most household), and Hy-Vee (specialty foods), I find it really useful to keep track of what's actually cheapest at each store and buy them there. Evernote makes this really easy – I now know that many deli cheeses are cheapest at Fareway, but some upscale cheeses are far cheaper at Sam's Club thanks to using this technique, and that enables me to easily get the best price on the items that I buy.
3. I use it to take notes if someone lets me in on a bargain
Let's say I'm chatting with my neighbor and he mentions that he saw that Lowes is having a sale on lawnmowers this weekend – and I'm in the market for a lawnmower. That can be a very valuable piece of information – and so I immediately jot it down. Later, when I see it electronically, I remember to visit the Lowes website, see what's on sale, and do some comparison shopping.
Similarly, I overheard recently at the grocery store that one could find $1.50 off coupons for V8 Fusion online. I jotted that down quickly, went home, searched for it, and unfortunately came up short – but it's easy to see how something like this could really pay off (if someone has a link to $1 off or more V8 Fusion coupons, I'd love 'em!).
4. I use it to keep track of potential investments
On Sunday mornings, I'm usually found at the kitchen table reading the Sunday Des Moines Register – and while reading, I usually find out something interesting about some investment. I also find myself reading the Wall Street Journal sometimes at the library, and I always find some interesting businesses or investments in there.
Obviously, I want to follow up, so I just jot down that investment's symbol on Evernote. Later, when I'm home, I just copy and paste that symbol into Google and into Yahoo! Finance and see what I find. This has helped me become more familiar with the business side – and the product side – of many companies and also led me to quite a few index funds that I'm watching for potential future investments.
5. I use it to jot down product research notes at the library
As I've mentioned many times, whenever we begin to look at a major purchase, I hit the library. I dig out piles of old issues of Consumer Reports and other consumer magazines and go through them, finding out what independent testers have to say about it.
Naturally, I take my laptop along on such journeys, and I find that jotting these things down in Evernote is quite helpful. I'll type the interesting notes in quickly, take snapshots of anything interesting with my camera, and collect all the research electronically in one place. Later, when I'm at home, I can add to this research. Or maybe I'll be at my parents' house and I find something useful to add – I can just log on via the website and add to a note.
6. I use it to keep a convenient schedule of automated transactions
One note includes nothing more than a list of the automatic transactions that come out of our primary checking account every month – our children's 529 accounts, my Roth IRA, our car payment, our mortgage payment, and a SmartyPig savings goal (for a better laptop sometime way down the road).
This has come in handy several times. Once, not too long ago, we were in Texas on vacation and I was trying to decide if I should pull some cash out of my checking account or my savings account. I pulled out my list of automatic transactions, did the math, and realized it wasn't a problem at all to leave the savings alone – we had plenty of buffer.
The best part: if I make a change to the automatic transactions I have, I can just update one text file and I have the info everywhere. I don't have to write a new note or make a bunch of scribbles on it. It's clean and just works.
7. I use it to keep track of gift ideas for people
I keep a constantly running list of gift ideas for people. It's actually quite easy – I just listen to what people talk about and if they mention anything they like or may want, I jot it down on this note. Then, every once in a while, I'll go bargain hunting with this note – I'll update my Amazon deal search filters with these items and I'll search through several different bargain sites that I look at. Occasionally, I'll find a hit – and when I do, I might turn a $70 idle wish someone has into a gift from me that only cost $20.
Not only that, this gift list comes in big handy when the holidays are actually close. I'll get out this gift list just before Black Friday and browse through the circulars on Thanksgiving Day – and sometimes I'll find an amazing match, connecting a great deal to a recipient who actually wants the item.
To put it simply, the sheer utility of Evernote gives me tons of opportunities to save money. The examples above just scratch the surface.

As I mentioned in my previous post, the Acceptance in Lieu panel has recently published its review for 2012-13. This also included a number of pieces of early Georgian furniture which has been allocated to Montacute.
The furniture was originally commissioned for Chicheley Hall, mostly by Sir John Chester, 4th Baronet (1666-1724). It remained in the house until it was given on loan to Montacute by Major Greville Chester in the late 1940s. Chicheley Hall was sold to the 2nd Earl Beatty in 1954 and to the Royal Society in 2009 (and there is an excellent history of the house by Peter Collins and Stefanie Fischer on the Royal Society website).
The National Trust acquired Montacute in 1931 through the generosity of Ernest Cook, but without any contents. During the Second World War the house was used as one of the stores for the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which was under threat from bombing. Towards the end of the war a project was initiated to gather suitable furniture and furnishings to bring Montacute to life. The loan from Major Chester was one of the groups of items that came to the house then.
The single most important item in the group is a swaggering giltwood and gilt-gesso side table probably made for Sir John Chester, 6th Baronet (1693-1748) incorporating his coat of arms and those of his wife, Frances Bagot.
The group also includes a sofa, ten chairs and a screen upholstered with embroidery. Although the furniture is English, the embroidery may be French, depicting various scenes from Ovid based on engravings. Dudley Dodd identified the embroidered scenes in an article in the 2011 National Trust Historic Houses and Collections Annual, but the identity of the makers remains unclear.

DETROIT >> Jonas Gustavsson's two seasons in Detroit seemed to be spent mainly on the trainer's table.
Battling injures from groins to shoulders, Gustavsson appeared in just 34 regular-season games with the Wings over two seasons.
"I mean it's been a lot of injuries, you don't want to have those for yourself and for your team," Gustavsson said Tuesday during the Wings' locker cleanout at Joe Louis Arena. "You want to be out there to be able to be part of the team every day, every day of the season so of course that sets me back. I'm going to keep working on it to prevent injuries like that."
Gustavsson has missed a total of 23 games on five separate occasions with three different types of injuries last season.
Groin injuries have been his Achilles heel since signing a free agent deal with the Wings.
Along with missing 18 games due to a groin injury this season, he appeared in just seven of the 48 games during the lockout-shortened year last season, making just four starts. He didn't play over the final 27 games of the season, which included the playoffs.
"I felt like I found a way that was working for me at the end of the season so hopefully I can build on that," Gustavsson said. "The groin felt really good for the second part of the season for the most part so that's something I'm going to keep working on and that's something I need for myself too because I want to be playing at a high level for a long time and I want to try to take the next step and that's part of taking the next step."
When Gustavsson played, he played well this season, going 16-5-4 with a 2.63 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. He appeared in the final two games of the playoffs, filling in for starter Jimmy Howard who was sidelined with the flu, and gave Detroit a chance.
Gustavsson has aspirations of perhaps being a No. 1 goalie somewhere, but could return to Detroit.
"I think every athlete wants to be as good as they can be and reach as high as they can, but that being said it's not like I can go out on the open market and demand a starting role somewhere because there are a lot of good goalies," said Gustavsson, who missed the final two regular- season games after suffering a left shoulder injury in a 4-3 shootout loss to Pittsburgh. "You have to compete to get to that job. I would like to play a few more games that so I'm just going to try to go where I can feel like I can take that next step. It could be here and if so that's great and if nothing happens here then you look at other stuff."
The Wings' top goalie prospect is Petr Mrazek, who'll likely spend one more season in Grand Rapids in order to play in games instead of sitting on the bench as the backup in Detroit.
"We might," Wings general manager Ken Holland said when asked if the team will need to search for a backup goalie next season. "We believe we have a 60-game No. 1 goalie. Is Petr Mrazek, as a 22-year-old, better off playing 15-18 games in the NHL or is he better off playing 65 games in the AHL for one more year? That's the internal conversation we've got to have."
Mrazek has played in 11 regular season games in parts of of two years in Detroit going 3-5-0 with a 1.74 GAA and a save percentage of .927. Two of his wins were shutouts.
"Everybody is enamored with (Anthony) Mantha and Mrazek and the people that aren't here," Holland said. "Well, the people that are here now, we were enamored with those people three years ago. Now they're here and (people) want to know who's next. It's human nature. That's why I try to keep (prospects) out of here as long as possible because there's big expectations when you play in the NHL, there's passion, there's emotion and when a player doesn't live up to those expectations and that hope, people get down on them real fast."
Mrazek led the Griffins to the Calder Cup title last season.
"Whether (Petr) Mrazek plays here or Gustavsson plays here, Gus got half our wins this year," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "The bottom line is if you're playing every day you have to earn the right to play every day. If you're a tandem that's what happens but the other guy has to earn the right to make that happen so we'll see what happens."
Belarus bound
Five Wings – Justin Abdelkader (United States), Danny DeKeyser (United States), Gustav Nyquist (Sweden), Tomas Tatar (Slovakia) and Jakub Kindl (Czech Republic) – will play for their countries at the World Championships in Minsk, Belarus, which begins on May 9.
Abdelkader also appeared for the United States in 2012. DeKeyser will make his international hockey debut.

For only the second time ever, the Valley West Hawks have advanced to the semifinal round of the BC Hockey Major Midget League playoffs.
The Hawks, which draw players from the Semiahmoo, Langley, Surrey and Cloverdale minor hockey associations, swept the Cariboo Cougars in a best-of-three quarterfinal series last weekend in Langley. Valley West edged the Cougars 4-3 on Friday at the Langley Sportsplex, then eliminated the Prince George-based team with a 5-2 victory Saturday at the George Preston Rec Centre.
The Hawks have reached the semifinal star of the MML playoffs only once before, losing in straight games to the Cougars 2010-11.
Valley West led 1-0 after 20 minutes of Friday's game on a goal by White Rock's Davis Koch, but went into the last 10 minutes of play trailing 3-1.
Koch started the comeback with his second goal of the game with seven minutes left. Ty Westgard of White Rock tied the score with three minutes left on the clock and Matt Bradley of Surrey notched the winner with just 31 seconds remaining.
Bradley and White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis each had a pair of assists.
Valley West never trailed in Saturday's game. Mitch Newsome of Surrey opening the scoring six minutes into the contest, and a minute after the Cougars pulled even, Westgard put the Hawks back on top. Spencer Gerth of Langley and Surrey's Jamieson Ree upped the difference to 4-1 after 40 minutes. The teams traded goals in the last minute of play, with Newsome netting the Hawks goal.
Valley West will travel to Kelowna next weekend to face the second-place Okanagan Rockets in a best-of-three semifinal series. Last season, the Hawks lost a quarterfinal series with the Rockets in three games.
The teams split a two-game series in September in Richmond, while the Rockets won two close games in Kelowna in December.

Sorry if this post seems needless. I have searched all over the forums for rules regarding tattoos on officers. I have read the CAF FAQs and found that anywhere other than neck, head, or ears is aloud. However I have already applied and passed my air crew selection and am now considering a half sleeve starting from the wrist bone up to the elbow on my forearm. I assume it is alright but I have a feeling that an officer might be held to a different standard and I am worried this could jeopardize my career. It is not offensive and will just involve the ocean with a few small details. I've seen countless members with sleeve tattoos but again not any officers. Any feedback or personal experiences are appreciated! Thanks
When in doubt, consult Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/3o7viy/what_are_your_opinions_of_tattoos_on_officers/
To clear up the many questions about Tattoo's that keep appearing. Recruiters and File Managers cannot tell you if your tattoo will or will not be approved upon your recruiting process. The only people involved in that are the MCC, UPSO, CFRC CO, RPSO, CFRG CWO & CFRG Commander (acronyms defined below).If you do not have a tattoo and you are thinking about getting one - your best bet is to hold off. As a Recruiter I will not tell you not to get one, but when you are trying to join an organization with a tattoo policy your best bet is to hold off.STEP 1Initial assessment of eligibility by the Military Career Counsellor (MCC). When there is no doubt that the applicant is in compliance with the CAF tattoo policy, the MCC can continue processing the application. When in doubt, the MCC remains the main point of contact for applicant counselling and must take the following steps:a. During the eligibility interview, the MCC must ask the applicant whether they have any tattoos and if so must ask the applicant for a description of all their tattoos, as well as their meaning and location, as set out in the interview guide; b. The MCC must record the information concerning all tattoos in the interview guide;c. When in doubt, the MCC can ask an applicant to take photos of his/her tattoos for evaluation purposes;d. When in doubt, the MCC must do research to determine what the tattoos represent;e. If still in doubt, the MCC must ask the UPSO (Unit Personnel Selection Officer) for his/her opinion; f. The decision must be recorded; andg. If the file must be sent to the CFRC CO for a final decision, the MCC must fill out the CFRG Tattoo Evaluation Request form and send it to the UPSO.STEP 2Eligibility evaluation and recommendation by the UPSO. If required by the MCC, the UPSO must take the following steps:a. Make sure that the MCC has considered and evaluated all compensating factors and/or all circumstances;b. Review all CFRG Tattoo Evaluation Request forms to verify accuracy, perform quality control (QC) and verify the justification including any additional research regarding the meaning of a tattoo;c. The CFRC CO must refer, via the UPSO, to precedents before making a final decision. All similar tattoos that have previously been evaluated and denied by a CFRC CO or the Comd CFRG are considered precedents. The CFRC CO can ask for the RPSO's opinion before making a final decision;d. Ensure that relevant notes have been written in the General Comments section (if applicable) and that the photos have been scanned;e. Write his/her own evaluation in the general comments section (opinion, future actions if applicable);f. Forward approval requests to the CFRC CO, in cases where there is serious doubt at to the application of the tattoo policy. The UPSO can ask the RPSO's opinion before submitting the file to the CFRC CO;g. If the applicant wants to appeal, the UPSO must send the approval request to the Comd CFRG, via the RPSO;STEP 3Review and recommendation of the RPSO. When a request is sent to the RPSO, via the UPSO, for the Comd CFRG's consideration, the RPSO will conduct an analysis and make recommendations, taking into account the research conducted, the descriptions and meanings provided, including compensating factors, and will forward the request to the CFRG CWOSTEP 4 Review and recommendation of the CFRG CWO. As senior advisor to the Comd CFRG on matters of dress, the CFRG CWO can make a recommendation to the Comd CFRG.STEP 5Final and binding decision of the Comd CFRG.**** NOTE: No further questions will be answered about the tattoo policy and this thread is going to be locked. The above information is accurate as of 14-Sep-2016 and may not be 100% accurate at any time past that date ****
So I've been in for two years now and am thinking about getting a piercing well on christmas leave and was looking for some insight. I was just wondering if anyone else here has got a piercing well on leave and how that worked out for them? how did you keep the holes open at work, because I know even piercings that have been there for over a year can heal when not in use. Any info would help. thanks

Are you tell your base that you got a tattoo during xmas break or "let sleeping does lie"? Its healed and "non-offensive" so....ThanksOS FLAE

Make funeral home pay
I was glad to see your article on the parking situation in this week's Hook [July 8: "Dead rights Funeral signs not backed by law"].
I have been after City Council for the last two years about that situation. I know that the funeral home does not have City Council permission but does have a private arrangement with the police department.
Just two days ago, I wrote an email to Kendra Hamilton suggesting that if City Council cannot stop the practice, then they should at least charge Hill and Wood for the use of three or five or seven blocks of parking for between four and eight hours. I suggested $500 per block per day.
The city can certainly use the money, and it might tend to minimize the on-street usage. Also, by taking up that much of the on-street parking Hill and Wood are pushing people to park in the McGuffey Art Center and McGuffey condos parking lots.
Thanks again for a good article.

Government savings bonds are generally deemed risk free because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. Most investors feel confident that the U.S. government will not default on its obligations to bond holders. However, there are other types of risk to consider.
Perhaps the biggest risk you face when buying government savings bonds is inflation risk. Most savings bonds have interest rates that are pegged to other government securities and are not adjusted for inflation (the exception is Series I bonds, which are adjusted semiannually for inflation). As inflation goes up, the spending power of your dollars goes down. With government securities, there is always the risk that inflation will outpace your rate of return, effectively diminishing the spending power of your savings.
Interest rate risk is also a factor for EE bonds purchased through April of 2005. For these bonds, the interest rate is pegged to an average yield of other government securities. Their return, and the risk, is directly tied to how those government securities perform. If interest rates go down, returns will be affected. For purchases on or after May 1, 2005, however, EE bonds earn fixed rates of interest.

Correction: Guatemala Hospital Abuse Story
In a story Nov. 30 about allegations of abuse at a Guatemalan psychiatric hospital, The Associated Press reported erroneously that 300 children were found held in isolation there. The rights group Disability Rights International says it found a total population of about 340 patients but saw only a few in isolation, including a teenager. The story also said that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights participated in the investigation. Two rights groups conducted the investigation, then submitted their findings to the commission.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Human rights groups say they found women and children subjected to abuse at a public psychiatric hospital in Guatemala's capital.
The investigation was conducted by the Human Rights Office of the Archbishop of Guatemala and Disability Rights International, and the findings were submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Executive Director Nery Rodenas said Friday that the probe found patients in the Federico Mora hospital suffering from a lack of medical attention, along with abuse by staff and inmates from a neighboring prison who were allowed into the hospital. The commission called for Guatemala to swiftly address conditions in the hospital.
Investigators found more than 300 children and adults at the facility. It said it found that newly admitted minors were kept in isolation cells, and patients in locked cells had died of preventable diseases due to lack of medical attention.

[UPDATE] Religion in/and/as Pop Culture, a panel at (dis)junctions Grad Conference, Apr 5-6. DEADLINE EXTENDED to Feb 22
Despite claims that modernity is disenchanted and secular, one encounters religion everywhere. References to religion appear in many different pop culture media, whether as themes and topics or as casual references, character building, or background elements. Conversely, religious groups or institutions appropriate pop culture forms in order to reach new subsections of believers, proselytize to outsiders, or provide general messages for society at large. Consider the ways in which religion appears in popular novels like Moore's Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, themes in music like Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown, or television programs like Futurama, South Park, or Family Guy. Consider also the way evangelical Christian organizations have utilized media forms from the advent of radio through the Internet, or the comic book-format of the Chick Tracts. What does the ubiquity of religious imagery mean for both the secular and sacred arenas within which such interaction takes place? What benefits are there for secular media forms to reference or draw upon religious elements, however tangentially? What does it say that some of the most skillful users of diverse media forms are religious groups? How have these interactions—these encounters—with, between, among, against each other affected both religion and media forms? We welcome paper or panel submissions exploring any of these themes or other topics regarding encounters between religion and popular culture.
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted at www.disjunctions2013.org or mailed to email@example.com no later than February 22nd, 2013.
This is a panel call for the 20th Annual (dis)junctions Humanities and Social Sciences Graduate Conference at the University of California, Riverside. This year's general theme, "encountering with(in) texts," examines the impact of situatedness, unexpectedness, and/or unpreparedness on "face to text" encounters with media objects, embodied encounters negotiated through or overdetermined by texts, and representations of "encountering" within texts. Please visit www.disjunctions2013.org for more information on this year's theme, our other subject- and discipline-specific panel calls, and Keynote Speaker Dr. Nicholas Mirzeoff.

Interview of Economist's editor-in-chief with Grand Ayatollah Saanei
The editor of Middle East and Africa service of the Economist interviewed Grand Ayatollah Saanei about different matters pertaining to Islamic law and politics. In response to a question about stoning, the Ayatollah mentioned that some scholars believe that punishments such as these were only suitable in the time of the Prophet and his successors and that nowadays, the punishment for adultery should be something other than execution. Other scholars support the belief that because adultery is so difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt, punishments other than stoning and execution should be considered.
Saanei, Yousef

Today would have been my seven years in Japan.
I wished I didn't leave earlier. In the time I have come back, I haven't found a job. I applied for many kinds of work. I even applied for a position at a famous computer company (yeah, the fruit one), but I didn't get called back for a second interview.
Getting used to living back in Australia wasn't so hard, but I still feel a massive disconnect. After so many years of waking up at midday it's hard to shake THAT habit. To be honest I'm missing Japan a lot.
Since I left Australia there has been an explosion of sushi shops here. I realised very quickly though that sushi pales in comparison to even the worst I tasted in Japan. Most places sell only the sushi rolls which are actually uncommon in Japan, forcing you to rather use your fingers than chopsticks. The fish is often dry and tiny, and the maguro (tuna) is usually the cooked variety. Having said that the best alternative that managed to evoke memories of "home" is Sushi Izu in Woolworths. A little bit pricey, but they're onto a good thing here.
I managed to find green tea ice-cream which thankfully wasn't too bad. It looks like Haagen Dazs closed shop in Australia a few years ago, so no more weird and wonderful flavours from them. Anko or anpan sweets are nowhere to be found.
I was thrilled when I saw that the Japanese dollar shop, Daiso was here, but instantly disappointed when I found out they marked up the prices to $2.80 for everything. Not so much of a bargain anymore. Uniqlo recently opened their first store in Melbourne but looking over the Australian pricing, it seems to be close to double the price.
I don't want this post to wallow in my self pity, so I'm happy to say I have been accepted in an intensive month long uni course that will allow me to teach foreigners English in Australia. Unfortunately that doesn't begin until August, but it is something I am excited and very nervous about.
I was getting a little bored so I decided to get my motorcycle license at the end of February. In Queensland it's pretty easy, and I was licensed in only two days!
Next step was a bike. I had my sights set on a Harley-style cruiser, so I did the next best thing and got myself a new Yamaha 650cc beast. Although it's quite heavy, along with my (temporary?) beard, I look the part.
I've joined some meetup groups which have given me a great opportunity to go for some fun rides and socialise. I kind of regret that I didn't get the licence BEFORE I went to Japan. I even talked with a Japanese expat that is in the same position as I was. He thought Japanese food was expensive here and not as good too! He is also thinking whether it's the right time for him to go back.
Looking back over my blog, it feels like Japan was a dream. As more time passes I am reminiscing the good times. Life was pretty good. What's next for me?

We're used to the idea of communicating with our eyes — but soon, we could be using just our eyes to write words, or to control machines. A French scientist accidentally figured out how to control his eye movement enough to be able to write on a computer screen — and in the process, may have revolutionized how we communicate with paralyzed people.
Our eyes are actually incredibly good at smooth movement — but it's not something we can control. Generally, we only engage what's known as "smooth pursuit" when tracking a moving object. If you try and do a slow pan with your eyeballs without something to fix on, you'll generally just shift around in short bursts. But a scientist accidentally discovered a way to engage smooth pursuit without a subject to look at. Even more amazingly, he trained his eyes to do it at will.
Top image: Charlotte Gomez/Wall Street Journal — click the link an exclusive video of the device in action.
Jean Lorenceau of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie was looking at an unusual visual display in his lab, and discovered that he could detect and control his own eye movements. Building on this, he trained himself and six others to control their fine eye motion, to the point where they could write cursive.
The display he used was described as:
a display screen filled with randomly distributed static disks modulated in contrast about the background luminance at a moderate temporal rate (>12 Hz). When the eyes are at rest, this display appears as a field of faint static disks. However, any movement of the eyes creates a shift of the visual pattern on the retina.
This tricks the eye into behaving like it's tracking motion — and from there, Lorenceau was able to train the subjects to control the fine motion of their eyes. First, by tracking an object on the screen, then by having red dots show where the pupils were pointing, finally removing all fo this, and lowering the contrast on the screen.
After all of these methods, subjects were able to comfortably and smoothly move their eyes for more than 10 seconds at a time, plenty enough to scrawl out words.
This not only opens doors for people who need to use their eyes to communicate — patients with ALS, tetraplegics, cerebral palsy, locked-in syndrome — but also might be a way to improve eye control in people who rely on intense hand-eye coordination. [Current Biology]

Detailed research made over the past few decades by various musicologists and lovers of music has tended to called in to question the iconic lives and official careers of the 'great' composers with which we are all familiar. To the point where it is possible to say with a high degree of certainty that the careers of many of the most iconic composers were hugely exaggerated. Owing their reputations, in fact, to various little known sources.
We are able to say with a high degree of certainty that W.A. Mozart (1756-1791) was not a 'musical genius'. That his musical talents were, in fact, rather average. But that his official life 'story' and even 'his music' was supplied to him throughout his career by numerous others whose names are often unknown today (though often published in Mozart's name even after the time of his death) and that Mozart's legendary status was being managed and invented at virtually every stage during his lifetime and beyond it by those who would eventually start to control the music industry of the 19th century. Who would start to control the editing and writing of textbooks on musical history itself, in fact.
The Mozart icon which dominates our western musical civilization was almost entirely manufactured. But this area of research, though highly controversial, may bring us to finally appreciate that great musical achievement in terms of composition is really the product of a society and always has been, rather than highly individualistic 'geniuses' of the kind we so often suppose.
It is not that documentary and musical evidence is lacking. It exists, in volumes. What is lacking is a desire within mainstream corporative and feudalistic musicology to dismantle its own icons, to re-examine its own simplistic versions of musical history and to be honest about its own prejudices and practices.

Patient reports of relatives' cancer history often not accurate
Doctors often rely on a patient's knowledge of family medical history to estimate his or her risk of cancer. However, patient reports of family cancer history are not highly accurate, according to a study appearing May 11th online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Primary care physicians routinely ask about family history and may base their recommendationsfor screening or referrals to specialists, for instanceon the results. But it is not clear how many people in the general population have accurate information on their relatives' cancer history.
To explore this issue, Phuong L. Mai, M.D., of the National Cancer Institute and colleagues examined the accuracy of patient reports of family cancer history in the Connecticut Family Health Study. The study included a survey in which a representative sample of Connecticut residents were asked about cancer diagnoses in first- and second-degree relatives. A total of 1019 respondents provided information on cancer history for 20,578 relatives. The researchers then tried to confirm cancer history for four of the most common adult malignancies - breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer - for 2,605 randomly-selected relatives.
Confirmation was obtained through state cancer registries, Medicare, death certificates, other health records and databases, and interviews directly with the relatives or their proxies.
The accuracy of reported cancer diagnoses in relatives was low to moderate and varied by type of cancer: 61.1 percent for breast cancer; 27.3 percent for colorectal cancer; 32 percent for prostate cancer; and 60.2 percent or lung cancer. In contrast, reports on relatives with no cancer were highly accurate. Reports for first-degree relatives (parents, siblings, and children) were more accurate than for second-degree relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews).
The authors conclude that efforts are needed to improve the accuracy of family cancer history reporting. "Given that the population from which we sampled is similar to primary care populations, the results of this study suggest that family cancer history collected in the primary care setting might be useful as an initial screening tool, and, if positive, confirmation of the reported cancers is needed for the purpose of making cancer screening recommendations or referral to a specialty clinic."
In a related editorial, Rachel A. Freedman, M.D., and Judy E. Garber, M.D., of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston say that the study highlights the limitations of relying on patient reports of family cancer histories for risk assessment. They add that the current debate on electronic medical records and patient privacy should include this issue. And they note that on-line family history tools, such as the Surgeon General's pedigree tool, genealogy websites, and Facebook pages may contribute to more accurate reporting.
"However," they write, "if we want to be able to appropriately integrate family history into personalized clinical care, studying systematic ways to enhance family history ascertainment should be a research priority."
