Thought this timeline would add some fact clarity to the topic:
A paragraph in the article says that company's have moved to non-union states and other countries. Wouldn't it be easier to make Lucas County like the other states and countries than to bring in illeagal immigrants er I mean immigrants? Then maybe more residents, at least the ones left here, could start business's without government interferance.
This crap has gotta STOP! All it will take now, is someone coming in, with ebloa. And folks, we all know it's on its' way. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/07/todd-starnes-illegal-immigrant-c...
Here is one more news report of how they do business south of the Rio Grande.
For all the weak-knee liberals, for all the heads of corporations who want cheap labor how are you going to react when this happens in Boise Idaho? These people are animals. Why are some in this country willing to open our borders and invite barbarism unto our shores? That should not be the America we will be gifting to our next generations.
My Monday started out like most. I work from home, so I got up early and answered emails. Then it was time to settle in with a cup of coffee to watch the best show on television--Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda. If you don't like that show...well, then maybe you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself an "American." Whether it's "Funday Monday" or "Wine Wednesday"--there's no more quality entertainment on this earth.
I clicked on the TV and tuned into the local NBC station--WNWO Channel 24--and Kathie Lee and Hoda weren't on. What?! In their place was some damn Canadian show--everybody knows that's not real television.
The Senate vote to give 11 million illegals U.S. citizenship will probably happen today. (Okay--I know there will be people who will get all technical and say "It's just a 'path' to citizenship." Yeah, sure.)
We know that the impetus for this is to gain votes. They will be Democrat voters, but the Republicans somehow think they'll get a piece of the action. Yeah sure.
We are going to bestow citizenship on these people based on one criterion--they broke our laws.
So, we should have some say on the conditions of their newly acquired gift--shouldn't we? My suggestion is we designate three states where these illegals must live in order to obtain citizenship. Let's give them Vermont, Oregon, and Massachusetts. They have to live in one of those states for 10 years before they become eligible for citizenship.
For pictures, and the full blog, click on the above link!
Maybe it is the lawyer?
The Obama administration took another verbal sodomy in the Supreme Court today. When you make a case against checking immigration status and Justice Sotomayor tells you that your argument "isn't selling very well" then you should probably reconsider your line of work.
Of course I'm awaiting the liberals on here to describe how suddenly the Supreme Court is now racist.
Hello friends and fans! Are you interested in learning a bit about Stikii's latest and greatest innovation? We're pretty sure you are. One of the many new things that we have developed to make our customers shoe-wearing experience more enjoyable is the creation of the "Stikii Size Chart". The piece is fun, vibrantly colored and serves a very practical and useful purpose!
Is your kid special, does he or she like performing, modeling, singing or acting? Does your child like to be on camera or take pictures? Is your little one-not-so-little? Are they outgoing, easy to get along with, a natural leader? If they are NONE of those things, are they just plain CUTE AND ADORABLE? Would they like free Stikii shoes?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to get your children involved with the Stikii Kids Club contest.
My favorite radio host(sorry Fred) Mike Church interviewing Rep. Ron Paul this past weekend. This is one of the only people you will ever see give congressman Paul a fair interview instead of treating him like some old nutjob. Very insightful Q&A.
Or at least that is what the liberal left would like you to think about me or anyone else who dares support legislation requiring a photo ID to vote. But when you take into consideration that their goal is to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator*, the accusation is hypocritical, laughable and just plain dumb. Especially when you add in how the left operates; arguments based on emotion rather than fact and focused on the supposed rights of a group rather than the actual rights of an individual.
Well what the hell is he doing for Mexico????? and his people...you would think he could come up with some kind of job creation for his country....
For those unfamiliar with George Orwell's novel 1984, a fictional language called Newspeak is introduced by the totalitarian regime in an attempt to make any alternative thinking, referred to as "thoughtcrime" or "crimethink", impossible by removing words or constructs that describe the ideas of freedom, rebellion, etc. In it's more generic use, Newspeak has been used to describe any attempt to restrict disapproved language by a government or other powerful entity.
Enter the Society of Professional Journalists and their Diversity Committee's campaign to get reporters to drop the term "illegal immigrant" from their coverage as it is "offensive" to Latinos.
Sounds like it's time to educate some leftist lame-streamers...
The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that the 2010 Census put the population of the United States at 308,745,538, an increase of 9.7% from the 2000 Census.
For those wondering how Ohio fared, please see below the fold for all data related to the Buckeye State.
A real LOL clip of Obummer. Seriously though, it is a true foreshadow.
He doesn't even know it's the Presidential Seal. Then get's all defensive, "All of you know who I am."
LOL, this guy really is a joke. Obummer!
A Democrat Left Wing LIberal Wacko Environmentalist took hostages today at the Discovery Channel building in Silver Springs, Md. It's obvious that Al Gore and the television news channels MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS with their support of the Global Warming movement have ginned up this man's anger. What role do those stations and the liberal talk radio crowd have in this incident? Who's responsible for this man's behavior, what caused him to snap? Was it perhaps this from Chris Mathews suggesing that BP execs get the same treatment as Chinese polluters?
Tuesday morning at 7a Rebecca Heimlich from Americans for Prosperity will be on and the Spending Revolt bus will be at the WSPD parking lot from 7-8a. Stop by and sign the pledge to cut government spending. If we return to federal spending of jut 20% of the GDP we can get the fiscal house in order.
A little food for thought on your Sunday morning,
From a post on Yahoo.com by ML...
The Cost of "Illegal" Immigrants
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Ready? Now pay attention...
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.

What is Bouldering?
Bouldering is a type of climbing where you actually don't need to leave more than twelve feet off the ground. But don't let the height fool you – bouldering is not for the faint hearted, it requires total body control, upper body strength, body endurance, creativity and quick thinking.
As its name implies, bouldering requires the climber to work their way through a boulder route, termed a 'problem'… and it's not as easy as it looks!These moves require intense training and practice before they are successfully mastered.
Bouldering is perfect for anyone who seeks adventure and adrenaline.
Fancy trying it out? Book in for a taster session on Saturday mornings… drop us a line on 020 8613 6500 or pop by for further details.

Precautionary measures have been taken in like Phugana, Lisadh, Bahawadi, Kutba, Kutbi, Kakda, Mohammadpur- Raisingh, worst affected villages in last year's communal clashes, police said.
The September riots last year left over 60 dead and rendered several people homeless.
"27,198 people have been displaced from their native places, of which 3,259 riot victims have been enrolled as voters at places where they have rehabilitated.
"The remaining would be provided full security so that they can cast their vote at polling booths where they are registered as voters," District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said on Sunday.
627 polling centres of riot-affected 20 villages have been declared sensitive, he said.
Narendra Modi's close aide Amit Shah in Muzaffarnagar earlier triggered a controversy with his comment that the general elections, especially in western UP, is "an election for honour. It is an election to take revenge for the insult."

On Sunday, November 12th, we shared with the church the vision for accelerating the ministry of The Glade Church. We have unprecedented opportunities in front of us. The Unleashed for Greater Things campaign will help us best prepare for them. If you were not able to be present, the Unleashed campaign will free up more resources to put toward ministry and missions. For years people have driven by the facilities of The Glade Church and thought, "How did that big church get here?" Our challenge is to ask, "WHY is it here at this time?" With unprecedented growth in the community, we believe that answer is now clear. God has put the tools in place for us to reach the thousands of people moving into the immediate area. Below are some important dates for us as we answer this challenge.

18th C
In October 1759 Margaret Burr Gainsborough packed up and left her modest house in Ipswich. Before leaving the Gainsboroughs sold off not only items of furniture from the Brook Street house but also a number of Gainsborough's earlier painings and drawings, sending off the remaining household goods by waggon across country to Bath. Margaret and her small daughters prepared themselves for their first lengthy and arduous journey presumably by public coach, first to London, then on to the most renowned Spa town in the country.
Wealthy individuals had no need to use public transport. When the noted writer Fanny Burney was eighteen she made her first visit to Bath travelling in style as the guest of a family using their own splendid coach drawn by four horses. They were followed in procession by a poste-chaise conveying the family's maids, followed in turn by all the male servants splendidly attired in the family's colourful livery and riding horse-back, the whole cavalcade a spectacular sight as it clattered over the cobblestones and entered the high street. For the less wealthy there were regular stage-coach services running from London to Bath and back. Bath was, mid 18th C , home to about 15,000 permanent residents.
Journeys by road were uncomfortable, exhausting and hazardous. Footpads and highwaymen were a living nightmare. Some time later, in 1775, Gainsborough was travelling in a chaise heading towards Hammersmith in London when the vehicle was attacked by two men on horseback who threatened the artist before snatching his pocket watch and two golden guineas. Both highwaymen were eventually arrested, found guilty of several crimes and bath were sentenced to death. one of them, McAllister, was hanged at Tyburn two months later.
Large sums of money were necessarily carried by coach passengers in order to pay for their accommodation and food at inns enroute, not only for themselves, but for any servants accompanying them, turning these vehicles into honey pots for highwaymen.
Travelling by stage coach required the Gainsboroughs to go first to London to stay overnight and then face no less than three full days journeying on the coach to cover the distance of a hundred and twenty miles to Bath. The roads were rocky, narrow and rutted, jolting the passengers unbearably, the fear of attack constantly present.
Luggage on board was strictly limited and packing for the journey was as difficult for Margaret as it is now when travelling by air with new restrictions constantly being imposed. When James Boswell planned to travel from London to Oxford he wrote a note to remind himself to buy a small 'portmanteau.' If he could not find one he decided he would have to pack up his shirts, stockings and slippers into a 'bundle' and carry that to the coach. Always aware of the necessity to economise, Boswell was then in a quandary when comparing the cost of a night's rest at the inn, from which the sage-coach departed, against the disadvantage of sleeping in his own bed and having to rise at an unreasonably early hour in order to leave home to be at the inn on time for the coach and so save a shilling on the hire of the room. It was necessary for him to reserve his seat in the coach which he referred to as 'the machine.'
The stage-coach mid 18th C was a heavy lumbering vehicle which carried six passengers inside, drawn from all social levels, offering a wide variety of experiences otherwise unfamiliar. People ascended and alighted at different stages, characters in a play who might offer any number of strange encounters in the crowded interior of a vehicle which became a kind of theatre as passengers chatted about themselves. The coach arrived at inns at inconvenient hours, often stopping for too short a time for passengers to eat or sleep as long as they would have wished.
On one occasion as a young man Boswell was called at 3 am to take his seat in a coach travelling from London to Scotland. The other passengers were first his own brother, a commercial traveller then joined him followed by a Scottish maid servant and Lord Tankerville's steward. As passengers spent days on the road together and stayed in the same inn at night, a certain intimacy was difficult to avoid.
On another trip Boswell's sole stage companion was first a young chambermaid travelling alone, replaced at the next stage by a gentlewoman, also travelling alone. (Clearly, women of different social classes travelled unchaperoned at this time). Then a strolling player came aboard and after he dismounted, a schoolboy on holiday took his place.
On one journey Boswell described how he and his companion shared the more expensive but infinitely preferred journey by chaise which accommodated only two passengers. For the first few hours the two young lawyers studied their legal documents and then passed the time by singing, Boswell's companion choosing arias from The Beggars' Opera.
Main roads tended to follow the ancient Roman roads by then fallen into a sorry state and at times disappearing into narrow muddy lanes or rutted cart-tracks crossing water-logged bogs or stony waste land. Powerful horses were required to haul the heavy coaches and running footmen were often employed by wealthy families to run alongside carrying heavy poles to ease the vehicle out of holes in the road or over difficult stretches. Coaches overturning were frequent events with consequent injuries to passenges and horses. Broken linch pins or axles were a common cause of accidents and delays. In one of the Duchess of Portland's many journeys in the UK a maid following her mistress's coach in a waggon was thrown out in an accident. The wheels of the heavy vehicle ran right over her. She died in agony three hours later.
Sometimes it was considered more comfortable to walk beside the coach than to be thrown about inside. In winter passengers bundled themselves up in cloaks and wraps and huddled together to keep warm. Pity the cheaper fares clinging on up top, braving icy rain and freezing gales, with no shelter but a great coat to protect them.
In 1769 London society buzzeed with the talk of a new machine that operated WITHOUT HORSES. A man sat in this 'horseless carriage' and turned a handle which worked a spring that drove the machine forward. Wise old Dr Johnson was, on this occasion, unwilling to be impressed. The only gain he could see was that the operator had a choice: whether to move himself alone or move himself and the machine as well, so dismissing perhaps the first intimation of the invention of the motor-car.
Today the local Bath authority is everely criticized by citizens and visitors alike for car-parking problems and consequent high rate of charges. Surprisingly, the first parking fine was introduced in the city as early as 1650 when a new by-law was passed prohibiting anyone from permitting any kind of 'beast' to stand in any street in any one place for more than fifteen minutes for any purpose, including feeding the animal.
Traffic jams are not a recent problem. At the coronation of William and Mary in April 1689 Peers of the realm were requested to leave their coaches at home and arrive at Westminster Abbey BY SEDAN CHAIR ONLY to prevent serious congestion in the vicinity.
21st C
Writing about coach travel reminded me of the following incident published in my book on ghosts: TRUE GHOST STORIES OF OUR OWN TIME, Faber and Faber, London, 1991, pp 15-17. Reprinted several times the book is now out of print and only available second-hand or on the internet. The following is an example of what is known as a timewarp experience:
"A friend told me about the bizarre experience of Susan, her highly respected employee. A woman of mature age, neat, precise, and rather shy, Susan is reluctant to discuss the event with strangers, and wishes to remain anonymous. She did agree to talke to me, however, and the following story is taken from a recording of our conversation made in Bath on 10 May 1988.
In about 1968 Susan and her late husband were driving along a tarmac road near Marksford on the outskirts of Bath. It was very familiar territory to the couple, who often walked their dogs in that area, near their home. Susan was sitting in the passenger seat next to her husband who was driving. There was no one else in the car.
The journey was uneventful until all at once, with absolutely no warming, Susan found heself flung backwards in time.
'Suddenly the road was a track and there were a lot of people around a stage coach which had overturned. There were armed men, boxes strewn about the ground and deafening noise. But no one appeared to be hurt. I don't know what century it would have been - probably about a hundred years ago I should think.'
The coach, painted black and trimmed with red, appeared to have overturned recently, spilling boxes and baggage all over the rutted track. The four horses were hysterical with fear, but still in harness, struggling to keep on their feet as the armed men, who appeared to be highwaymen, rushed around shouting orders to passengers and coachmen. The confusion was indescribable. Susan wa unsure of her own role in this scene:
'I don't know what part I was playing in this, whether I was boy, man, girl or woman, but I was right in the middle of it, and totally unafraid.'
This aspect of the experience seems to be the one which surprised her most of all. She emphasized how utterly unafraid she was of the armed men (whom she described s being dressed in dark coloured clothing, perhaps red). The confidence she felt in the midst of the confusion was quite foreign to her normal reserved nature. In retrospect she believes she might have been a member of the highwaymen's gang.
Beyond that she could not say whether she was young or old, male or female, or what kind of clothes she wore. She had the impression that the people involved in the scene were young rather than old. She could not see any individual's facial features, or estimate the number of people involved in the chaos. But she was convinced that she had arrived on the scene at the precise moment the coach had overturned.
Projected without warning into the centre of this noisy disaster in time past Susan was acutely aware, throughout the experience, of her other self, her current life in 1968. She was conscious of being two people at once, she told me, but in two different time scales.
She described her raction as one of impatience and almost anger, certainly of deep regret, at being dragged back into the present when her husband stopped the car at a crossroads and spoke sharply to gain her attention. He demanded to know what was wrong - he had spoken to her several times and she had not replied. When he glanced at her as he waited for the traffic to pass, he was disturbed by her appearance. 'You look so strange, ' he said.
A straightforward, matter-of-fact man who had never experienced anything remotely resembling what his wife then described, he accepted her explanation because, he said later, Susan was so clearly not with him on the half-mile stretch of road between the time of her last remark and the moment at which they reached the crossroads....It was only when her husband spoke her name for the third time that Susan was drawn back from the scient of the stage coach disaster to re-enter the 1960s."
The experience was never repeated.

This crab is one tough MF. And why not? He is a representative of mighty Crustacea. This subphylum has been offering up super-weird armored animals for at least 350 million years. The exoskeleton has proven to be a great adaptation for crabs, especially the ones that spend at least some of their time on land. The exoskeleton provides some protection from predators and it also helps the crab maintain moisture. Lots of crabs live a mostly terrestrial existence but a dried out crab is a dead crab.
OK. So the crab has armor plating, some claws and evolved from a good family. But I also have some firsthand knowledge of this particular crab's never-say-die attitude and Relative Pinchiness. (RP is a standard qualitative field measurement.) When I first grabbed him on the beach in Mexico on a fine moonlit night he pinched me in his dominant claw. I shook him off, cursed him a little. Picked him up again. Got pinched again. I decided that I liked his vim and his moxie. I stuffed him in an empty cigarette pack and carried him back to my hotel room. When Wes and I got back we dumped our crab haul in the sink and grabbed some test tubes from our luggage. We didn't have enough isopropyl alcohol to use for killing and preservation. But we did have a lot of tequila around. It was truly foul stuff, to be sure, and we thought that using it to kill the crabs would serve a dual purpose: it would preserve the crustaceans and it would save us from drinking any more of that cactus-rot. So we dumped the crabs in cups of the stinking amber liquid and retired to the balcony to drink the rest of the bottle.
After 20 minutes we decided that our new specimens were probably ready to be transferred to test tubes. They were not. They were still as pinchy and upset as ever. So we waited a little bit. Went back to the sink and discovered that they were still alive. Wes and I stuffed them into the test tubes, trying to ignore all the frenzied pinching.
Was this cruel? Conventional wisdom and early research traditionally supported the view that an animal like a crab was incapable of feeling pain. This was good news for everyone that wanted to pretend that they were not responsible for a lot of suffering because of their diet and habits. But it turns out that this view may be wrong. Are you surprised? Animals with complex nervous systems having no perception of pain seems a little convenient and far-fetched to me. I offer you some words from Professor Bob Elwood from the School of Biological Sciences at Queen's University, Belfast, whose research into pain led him to use crabs as research subjects.
"The results are consistent with the idea of pain being experienced by these animals."
Researching pain in non-mammals gets pretty complex, introducing all sorts of thorny biological and philosophical questions to deal with, so this quote shouldn't be read as fact. It is offered here as something to think about, Wes Hunting, the next time you, Wes Hunting, kill animals in such an unreasonable way for such spurious reasons, Wes Hunting.

Write For Your Student Newspaper
You can graduate with a High score and join whatever PRINT society you want, but what editors want to see from recent college grades is experience. That starts at your college newspaper. Journalism classes are fine, but there's no substitute for writing real stories, on a real deadline, that get a real byline in a real newspaper.
Be An Editor For Your Student Newspaper
You've written some stories for your student paper – now take things to the next level. Holding an editor's job at a college paper shows you're willing to really make the commitment of time required to get experience in the news business. It also demonstrates maturity, responsibility and all that other good stuff that employers like.
Get An Internship
You've done your time as a student journalist. The next step is working with the pros. Newspapers nationwide offer summer internships and having one on your resume sets you apart. Working at a professional paper gives you the kind of experience that says, "This person is ready to work in the real world."
Build Your Clip Portfolio
Clips, clips clips – they're they key to getting a job. And the more you have, the better. Keep a copy of every story you write, so that when it's time to apply for a job, you'll be able to pick and choose your very best work.
Learn Marketable Skills
There's no denying it – this is a tough time for the news business. So make yourself as marketable as possible by picking up as many technical skills as you can, especially in the new media.
So learn to use layout software like QuarkXpress or InDesign; acquaint yourself with digital photography; start a blog and learn web design; and shoot digital videos and upload them to the web.
Write, Write, Write
Whatever you do, keep writing - for your student newspaper, a blog, a community newspaper or a local magazine, anything. Just write. The more you do it the better you'll get, and even in this new media world, good writers will always be needed.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Marc Marquez is reigning MotoGP champion and the most dominant rider of recent years. Valentino Rossi is of one the most dominant and popular former champions in the sport's history. Together, they have the fiercest rivalry on two wheels, with crashes, kicks and harsh words in a simmering feud that can erupt at any race.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Marc Marquez is reigning MotoGP champion and the most dominant rider of recent years. Valentino Rossi is of one the most dominant and popular former champions in the sport's history.
Together, they have the fiercest rivalry on two wheels, with crashes, kicks and harsh words in a simmering feud that can erupt at any race.
Given their most recent dustup, three weeks ago in Argentina when the Italian Rossi called the Spaniard Marquez a "dirty" rider, the series' return to the track at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Texas could spark some new fireworks.
Other riders are starting to tire of the bickering. Australia's Jack Miller even suggested it is dangerous for others on the track.
"We are all here racing and risking our lives," Miller said. "I think it is quite silly and immature."
Rossi, 39, and Marquez, 24, have won 11 MotoGP championships between them. Rossi's last world title was in 2009 and Marquez has dominated the recent era with four championships since 2013. Their nastiest battle came in 2015 when Rossi appeared to kick Marquez in the Malaysian Grand Prix and sent him tumbling into a crash that knocked Marquez out of the race.
The kick also cost Rossi a shot at his eighth MotoGP championship and 10th in all classes as he was forced to start the final race that season from the back of the grid as a penalty; he ultimately lost the title to Jorge Lorenzo.
The kick that season was the lowlight in an already tense sprint to the finish that saw Marquez even complain that an Italian television comedy crew was harassing his family late in the season.
The feud had been somewhat dormant until Marquez's wild race in Argentina. It began with him frantically trying to restart after his motorcycle stalled on the starting grid. After disrupting the grid and ignoring orders to go to the back, Marquez was forced to ride through pit lane after the race started. He'd been heavily favored and his desperate bid to get back to the front was chaotic as Marquez first bumped Aleix Espargo and then knocked Rossi into the grass and out of the race.
Marquez, who was penalized for both incidents, blamed the touch with Rossi on wet conditions on the track and finished 18th. Rossi called Marquez a menace who is "destroying the sport" with his aggressive driving.
"It was a strange race," said Britain's Cal Crutchlow, who won the race and took the lead in the season standings. "Not only from my point of view, but what was going on behind."
Neither rider seemed interested in fanning the flames ahead of Sunday's race, at least not in their English language interviews Thursday. Rossi said he is not yet ready to meet with Marquez to hash things out. He also didn't back off is post-race comments criticizing Marquez.
"I think exactly what I said after the race in Argentina," Rossi said. "It's better to look forward."
When asked about Rossi, Marquez also decided to keep it generic.
"I'm a rider. I like to learn from everything. From that Sunday, everyone can learn and we'll try to improve for the future," Marquez said.
Marquez could tamp things down quickly if he shows the same dominant form he's had over the last several years at the Circuit of the Americas. The track built for Formula One cars has been a sweet spot for Marquez as his powerful Repsol Honda has scarcely been challenged through its s-curves and long straight. Marquez has won the Texas race the last five years with a pace that has often left Rossi well back in the distance.
Rossi's Yamaha may still make it a fight. He finished third in 2015 and second last year, a result that temporarily put him on top of the season standings. Marquez and Rossi were 1-2 in Friday's first practice session.
Everyone will be watching for new clashes this weekend. France's Johann Zarco said the feud threatens to overtake MotoGP when there is good racing throughout the grid.
"We are touching two gods, we have (Rossi) that is the first god and now Marc is becoming this other god because he is doing incredible things," Zarco said. "It is between riders that we must almost speak together and find a solution together."

This story has been corrected to show 2015 would have been 8th MotoGP championship and 10th overall.

As coloured diamonds go, brown stones are probably seen as less desirable than their pink, blue or green cousins. I think yellow to brown coloured diamonds have an intrinsic warmth that adds something special.
This ring, from Lang Antiques, is described as, "A sparkling white diamond bow is knotted in the center with a bright and beautiful, natural brown oval-cut diamond weighing 1.22 carats in this fun and fabulous estate jewel, hand-fabricated in platinum. The striking and scintillating 'cognac' colored center stone is accompanied by a GIA Diamond Grading Report stating: Natural, Fancy Dark Yellowish Brown, Even color – VS1 clarity. A dazzling and distinctive engagement or right-hand ring. Currently ring size 6."
It sells for USD$$4,750.

The 14th National Assembly (NA) on November 14 approved a resolution on the central budget allocation in 2018. (Photo: VNA)
Hanoi (VNA) – The 14th National Assembly (NA) on November 14 approved a resolution on the central budget allocation in 2018 with 88.39 percent of the deputies voting yes.
The resolution targets over 753.404 trillion VND (33.17 billion USD) collected for the central budget and 565.796 trillion VND (24.91 billion USD) collected for local budget in 2018.
Meanwhile, central budget spending is capped at 948.404 trillion VND (41.76 billion USD) next year.
The parliament tasked the Government with collecting for and spending of the state budget, which consists of central and local budget, and allocating the central budget to ministries, central agencies, provinces, and centrally-run cities in accordance with law.
The Government was ordered to promptly approve target programmes to allocate capital for the programmes to relevant ministries, sectors and localities in a timely manner. It must also reduce funding for sluggish projects while step up the allocation of capital for projects with good progress.
In the resolution, the NA also asked the Cabinet to accelerate projects of national importance and the construction of urgent facilities.
The vote on the central budget allocation resolution was part of the parliament's fourth session that is taking place in Hanoi.-VNA
