Yellow gold engagement rings have a simple, enduring appeal. Unlike their white gold and platinum counterparts, the yellow hue gives the gold band a soft appearance and a distinctive allure of warmth.
If you are looking for a classy engagement ring to surprise your loved one, you are at the right place. In this article, I'm going to show you some of the best yellow gold diamond engagement ring designs in the market.
To see complete details for each ring, simply click on the corresponding image.
One of my favorite designs from Vatche. This simple and clean looking 6 prong solitaire ring creates a superb contrast between the diamond and yellow gold band. It is refined elegance at its best and is testament that less is sometimes more!
If you love intricate detailing and filigree work done on your band, this unique yellow gold engagement ring design is perfect for you. With diamond accents, this yellow gold ring has a vintage flair and romantic feel to it.
Three stone diamond rings in yellow gold have gotten popular recently because of Meghan Markle's royal engagement ring. In this classical rendition, 2 emerald shaped diamonds flank the center stone of your choice. The 2 extra rows of pave diamonds on each side of the shank give the ring extra bling.
Set in wire baskets that showcase the center diamond and rubies, this enduring engagement ring is the perfect embodiment of love and devotion. For gemstone lovers, you also have the choice of using sapphires instead of red rubies.
A special and one-of-a-kind design, this yellow gold marquise diamond engagement ring features intertwining shanks with 2 rows of pave diamonds woven together. This is an ideal setting for people who want to make a bold fashion statement.
Delicate and breathtaking, this dainty ring design has pave diamonds lined along the shanks to provide the extra sparkle and to accent the center stone. The thin band also helps to emphasize the size of the center stone and makes it appear bigger.
Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this solitaire ring has a low dome design that is made for comfortable wearing. The tear drop silhouette of the pear shape diamond creates an elegant and stylish appearance for her.
Oval diamonds have gained popularity in recent times due to the elongated shape and appeal. Mounted in an affordable petite solitaire setting, this evergreen design is ideal for minimalists and people on a tighter budget.
Fantastic 2 carat K color round diamond with ideal light performance.
Large size diamonds are expensive because of their rarity and one big advantage to yellow gold engagement rings is that they can hide color tints in diamonds. This means you can complement the setting with a lower color diamond that costs significantly less.
This delicate engagement ring packs a punch and delivers on sparkle. Diamond melees are seamlessly integrated into the shank and line up perfectly to draw the eyes towards the center stone.
A stunning halo encircles the center stone and makes it look larger than it is when seen at a distance. This setting gives you the biggest bang for your buck if you are looking for an engagement ring that impresses without breaking the bank.
With gold making a comeback in popularity, jewelry designers are giving yellow gold engagement rings a modern facelift with the newer creations of contemporary designs. There are literally hundreds to thousands of 14k/18k yellow gold ring designs to cherry pick one that suits you.
Now that you seen the top 11 ring designs I handpicked, I want to hear from you. Which is your favorite type of setting? Did I miss any particular design out?
White Flash, Blue Nile and James Allen are some of the best vendors in the world for stunning engagement rings at competitive prices. Check out their beautiful collections of yellow gold diamond rings for yourself.
I stumbled across your website and was wondering if you could help me find the best value possible for a $8000 engagement ring purchase. I'd like to get something around 1 carat and round.
I have also been reading up about information on hearts and arrows diamonds online and am extremely interested in this cut for its beauty.
If you could give me a couple of suggestions around that price range and carat size, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! I hope to hear from you soon as I want to make this purchase within the week.
Thanks for your email. I would need more details before I am able to make any meaningful recommendations.
Does the $8000 budget include the cost for the setting?
Are you OK with having fluorescence in a diamond? Some people like to have that, some don't. Personally, I love fluorescence.
I'm look for an 18K yellow gold four-prong solitaire setting. $8000 would be for the diamond alone. I was previously looking at Blue Nile and their yellow gold classic solitaire four-prong ring. I came across a 1 carat diamond with ideal cut, F color and VS1 clarity. It also had excellent symmetry/polish and is around my price point of $8000. I don't know too much about fluorescence so I would be open to any suggestions with fluorescence.
After reading about the hearts and arrows cut, I became interested in learning more about this specific type of diamond. It seems like if you get a high quality cut, you can lower your color and clarity because the diamond will shine brilliantly due to the precise cut alone. Anything else you think I should know before going for this cut?
Let me know if I can narrow it down anymore.
If you are setting the diamond in 18k yellow gold, we have more flexibility for your price point.
We don't need a colorless diamond (D-F) since a 'white' diamond will still appear slightly yellowish on a yellow gold band. It would be wise to go down on color and up on carat size.
You are right in your statement that you can go lower in color and clarity with well-cut diamonds. For the hearts and arrows diamond, you will be paying a slightly higher premium for optical symmetry (the display of hearts and arrows patterning).
Here are diamonds in the order of preference I would recommend. We have a clear winner here in the 1.2 carat K SI1 diamond. Out of the lot, it has greatest value for money. A K diamond set on a yellow gold engagement ring will blend in better than higher diamond colors.
Feel free to let me know if you have any queries.
Wouldn't a K color look more "yellow" than a diamond with a more "colorless" grade when set on a gold setting?
Where would be a good place to look for settings? Should I buy the setting at the same place I buy the diamond?
If I were to lower my price point to around ~4000, what would be the best value I could get for a hearts and arrows cut? Could you list some recommendations?
It depends on the kind of look you want to achieve. Most people I know of go for lower colors in a gold setting to get a more 'blended' look.
This article on how jewelry settings can enhance diamond color is a good read.
It depends on your location and whether you know of any trustworthy local jewelers in your area. If a jeweler in your area has a particular ring design you like, this is an option for you to explore. Buy the loose diamond online and get it set locally.
In general, I advice my readers to get their settings done with the vendor they get their diamonds from. This avoids unnecessary trouble and hassle. Even in the unlikely event that you don't like what you see after receiving the ring, both James Allen and Brian Gavin have good return policies. So, there are no worries there.
For a truly customizable design, Brian Gavin is really the place to go to build your ring from scratch. Find out more details about their customization work with this link. You might want to consider this option but as you know, customizing from scratch usually means it comes at a higher cost.
Going down to $4000 for H&A diamonds would usually mean a diamond within the 0.75-0.85 carat ranges. I could list recommendations but before that, I would like to get your input on the kind of look you want to achieve for your ring. This will enable me to give you appropriate recommendations for color.
I like the small contrast between the diamond and gold setting. I would be okay with a .75-.80 carat diamond as well. I just wouldn't want the diamond to look overly yellow. Overall, I am looking for the best eye-clean and clear optical diamond possible at that price range.
These are the diamonds I liked in the order of preference for around $4000. Diamond 3 has the best hearts and arrows patterning but it costs about $1000 more. In my opinion, it is not worth the extra $1000. In terms of brilliance and fire, these diamonds will have very identical optical performance. (note: having perfect h&a doesn't necessary equate to better or best optics).
Any particular reason why you picked number 1 over number 2? Would these suggestions be better than anything else I could get that isn't hearts and arrows (in terms of brilliance, fire, eye clean, great optics, etc)? Also, what do you think about James Allen's settings? It seems like Brian Gavin's settings are much more expensive.
Again, thanks for your help. This is my first time purchasing something this expensive online, and I still have some reservations about not being able to see the diamond myself.
Size is the main reason that tipped the scales because women love diamonds with bigger carat sizes. In terms of diamond color, a G and an I won't make any visual difference on a yellow setting. Unless you scrutinize the ring from a side view and have a D/E/F colored diamond by your side for comparison, most people can't tell.
The second diamond (G) was what I also found to be within ideal proportions and optimum light performance. This is a stone I would recommend for white gold setting. But for your case, the I would be a better choice. It's still up to your decision at the end of the day. If you think color plays a significant part in your decision making, then go for the G. That's the main reason I included it.
In terms of optics and performance, the round diamonds (hearts and arrows) are as good as optics can get in diamonds. The diamonds that were picked (for brilliance & symmetry) represent about the top 1-2% of the kind of diamonds that are cut in the market.
If you click this link here: https://beyond4cs.com/step-by-step-guide/evaluating-diamonds-with-idealscope/, you can reference the idealscope image to what you see from the diamond choices above.
With regards to the settings and designs, I can't really offer you advice because it is a personal thingy. Both JA and BGD do have excellent workmanship on their ring settings. All I can say is that James Allen has a wider range of settings and their settings are much more catered towards the mass market. For BGD, their settings are much more unique in that sense.
But hey, don't worry. Once you get the diamond ring/diamond in hand, you will be pleased. Let your wife/girlfriend wear it around. You might even want to do your own comparisons and compare your diamond to those found in local stores near you. I assure you that you will see a stark difference in terms of quality and brilliance against the common diamonds found in stores.
I ended up getting the very first diamond you suggested. The 1.2 carat from BGD is the best color diamond for yellow gold in my opinion. I set it in 18k yellow gold solitaire and it should be coming within 2 weeks. Thank you for your help and advice, it cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had.
One last thing: once I receive the ring, should I get it appraised first and what insurance options would you recommend?
I personally believe that's the diamond which will offer you the biggest bang for your buck.
If you are worried or need a peace of mind about your purchase, you can get it appraised with your own appraiser to verify the diamond's authenticity. Anyways, you will need an appraisal for insurance purposes.
I am assuming you are based in the US (that's the only market I am slightly more familiar with on jewelry insurance). If you are based other parts of the world, I'm sorry I can't advice you on things that I am not sure about. You need to check with your local insurance companies on this.
For US/Canada insurance, it really depends on your own preference and comfort level. Most people look for a rider clause to be included in their current homeowner policy because this is the most convenient for them. If you like this option, it is best to call up your insurance company and see what they say on details.
In the unfortunate event you really lose your ring, this might put your home policy in risks of higher future premiums or in worse case, might lead to cancellations. Personally, I feel that it would be better to insure your diamond ring away from any current home policies with a separate policy. If you like this option, these are 2 nice companies to consider.
p.s. I would really love to see a picture of your ring. Could you take a snap and send a nice picture to us when it arrives and tell me what you think of it?
I apologize for the late response. The diamond is great! My fiance loves the yellow gold diamond ring and we are getting it appraised this Friday for insurance. Thank you again for your help and I'll try to send pictures when I get a chance.

Paramount spent over a year painstakingly restoring this treasured film, using the original nitrate negative along with two fine grain masters made in the 1940s. Each element was carefully scanned using the very latest technology to both preserve the delicate negative and create the best possible digital image. Fortunately, 13 of the 14 reels of the original negative survived, but portions had begun to deteriorate so the best image was selected from one of the three original sources on a shot-by-shot basis. The result is a more vibrant and detail-rich picture that brings this classic to life like never before.

The sky over Banderas Bay is still heavy with gray clouds from the previous day's storms when my friends and I embark on our last adventure in Puerto Vallarta. Cool air greets us, a respite from late summer's humidity; the ocean murmurs behind us. We climb cobbled streets to meet our guide, Fernando, at a nearby OXXO, a convenience store chain with ubiquitous presence all over the country. Early morning traffic whirs along the road. Fernando waits for us next to his air-conditioned touring van. He dispenses warm hugs and hellos. We board the van, eager to leave the city for a morning with the birds. "Let's go, girls!" says Fernando, blue eyes smiling.
The drive to El Tuito follows coastal Manzanillo highway 200 and veers southward and inland at Boca de Tomatlan, climbing from sea level into oak and pine country. Fernando inquires about our lives and professions, while providing little windows into his path from Mexico City to cetacean studies and Puerto Vallarta. We are all educators, so we describe boarding school life and offer statistics about demographics. (I don't mention that I am a newly-minted former educator because the wounds to my ego are still fresh. My friends kindly uphold my omission.)
We spend all morning in the temperate mountain region, relishing the clearing cloud cover and a break from the heat. At over a thousand feet above sea level, the air hums with sound: the buzzing, chirping, and chittering of creatures that thrive in tropics. Fernando spots birds from barely perceptible movements in the abundant, green canopy, and he shuffles our bodies and our lines of vision to accommodate seeing what he sees. Within minutes, we've spotted nearly a dozen different birds, among them a male blue-black grassquit, small and, appropriately, bluish-black with white spots in the crook of its wings. Fernando, who warned us at the outset that he was a serious "bird nerd," puffs with joy. "Look at him!" he says. "Watch… He will jump to announce his territory." Sure enough, the grassquit bounces in place, a single spindly branch propelling him upward: Here I am! Look at me!
In the distance, a black-bellied whistling duck alights on a tree. Fernando says: "Quick! Two o'clock!" The group pivots as one, binoculars at the ready. The duck has large, ringed eyes that give it an inquisitive appearance, and long legs that match its bright coral bill. It is cuter than the average dinosaur's descendant.
We drive further inland to Rancho Primavera, a destination known for its birding opportunities. Heavy blushing mangoes dangle from grove trees. Unseen birds entice us with birdsong. The caretaker's dun-colored dogs follow our trek through the grass. Fernando whistles a series of staccato pygmy owl toots and, in turn, flushes out a cinnamon hummingbird, which we track as it zips through undergrowth. As if on cue, Fernando points to a blue-capped motmot resting on a low branch. It fixes us with its red gaze. We coo.
A male elegant trogon, resplendent with a brilliant red breast and shimmering green body, flits through high branches near the lagoon. It holds a moth in its beak; the moth's wings flap wildly. The trogon divides its attention between us and the insistent call of a nearby female, reluctant to reveal the location of its nest. We turn to leave, and the trogon disappears from sight.
Photo Credit: (Who else but) Fernando
Fernando walks several steps ahead, his short brown ponytail swishing. He waves his arms: "Come on, girls!" We fall into a single line on the moist terrain, four birds in tow.
The tour concludes at a family-run El Tuito restaurant. Fernando confers with our young server, the proprietor's daughter, whose shy smile betrays amusement over our group's limited grasp of the Spanish language. We order beef machaca with eggs with tortillas, salsa, and Pacifico beers all around. Fernando chooses eggs with locally made panela cheese. We raise our eyebrows at the lack of peppers in his dish. He laughs. "I know," he says, smiling ruefully into his plate. "I'm a weird Mexican."
Thank you, Restaurante El Mariachi!
Fernando teases us all the way back into the city, no longer a guide but a friend. We exchange contact information while saying goodbye. He has an evening tour to run before going home to his beagle, Leia.
Later that evening, we lounge in the pool. Our eyes savor the sunset; our limbs bob in the cool water. We are, for a short moment, unburdened. Soon, my friends will return to their jobs at the school where we met. They're girding themselves for three weeks of in-service; I know, because I used to attend the compulsory monotony, too. As we twirl and weave through gentle waves, recollecting the day, laughing, and singing along to ABBA's "Fernando," I find myself wishing that this year will bring them to new heights in the areas of their lives that truly bring them joy: their creativity, their pride and rewards of work, their connections with high school learners.
I choose not to think about the fact that I won't be returning to teaching with my friends. Instead, I'm reminded for the hundredth time of Emily Dickinson, my gap year muse: "'Hope' is the thing with feathers / that perches in the soul / and sings the tune without the words / and never stops – at all." Relaxing in the pool, still warm from memories of the day, I feel like I've just stepped into the sun after a long spell in the dark; my cells and spirit reunite, a small bird on wing.

Angels Among Us
My students and I recently finished reading Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli. The book's narrator, Misha, is a young boy of indeterminate age – probably 8 or younger, we decided – who has been living on the streets and thieving for so long that he has no recollection of his past otherwise. His innocence provides moments of humor but also confounds us. How could a child lack memories? How could a young boy exist without knowledge of birthday cakes, baths, and medicines?
Intrigued, I asked the students about their earliest memories. I was surprised that many of them cited memories from age two and three in some detail, while others, like me, were older when their first memories formalized. They recalled sensory details: the fur of a brother's Halloween costume; hiding in the back of a closet, skin brushed by low-hanging clothes, dark shadows around them. I made my best case for memory's lack of specificity; they returned with the observation that one person's memory rarely matches another's, so an individual's memory is specific to him- or herself. I suggested that sometimes the stories families tell create a mental image that then supports a family-centered reality. Some agreed; some didn't. The discussion made me wonder if and how the acquisition of knowledge nudges certain memories to the periphery while other memories remain static and dependable.
My first memory dates back to age five. Like my students, the details dwell in the senses. I lay in my bed at the house on King Street, tucked under a Holly Hobbie blanket. It was night, and a small column of hallway light fell across my bed. My grandmother, who at the time was undergoing treatment for a cancer she didn't conquer, sat at the edge of the bed, stroking my forehead. Her sapphire eyes shone in the dark. She wore a velvet robe and turban to match her eyes. Before I fell asleep, I imagined that all angels must look like my grandmother.
Misha gives significant thought to the presence of angels. He polls others: do they believe in angels? Some do; others scoff at him. A kind doctor convinces Misha that angels exist, and Misha eventually comes to think that we each have an angel who lives within us.
In the book, Misha is something of an angel himself. He begins life with no one to guide him, yet he intuitively senses right from wrong. He pilfers food wherever he can, but he shares it with those he cares for. He doesn't have to share any of it – the book is set in the Warsaw ghetto, and everyone is sick with starvation – but he does anyway. I have read Milkweed several times, for pleasure and in preparation for discussion, and Misha is one of the unforgettables: the characters we adopt as real, for whom we root, worry, cry, and laugh as if they were one of our own. Misha made me reconsider the nature of angels.
Misha has no recollection of his life before orphanhood. When the book's big brother-figure, Uri, bestows him with an elaborate personal "history," Misha's response is nothing short of jubilation. He loves his story and recounts it to anyone who will listen. His memories evolve over time, altered by oral embellishments.
I identify with Misha in this regard. I never knew my mother's parents or the details surrounding so much of what made up her story. I have only her journals as a window to her past. Instead, I embraced my grandparents' rich history growing up. My grandfather completed his autobiography shortly before he passed away. I love to share his stories: finding thieves searching his bedroom in pre-WWII China; coming face to face with water buffalo on a hunting expedition in Tanzania; developing a hospital built on education for those afflicted with leprosy. My pride in their legacy of accomplishments is an integral part of who I am. Like Misha, too, I'll tell my story to anyone who will listen.
A couple weeks ago, my father gave me a collection of china that belonged to my grandmother, noting that it was one of her three "most prized possessions." She carried it everywhere she lived during her missionary career. The set contains twelve of everything – plates, salad plates, teacups, saucers, bowls, soup bowls, and a pitcher, serving bowl, and cream and sugar set – a simple bamboo design in immaculate condition, despite many years of traveling abroad.
I had no idea this collection existed, much less that my grandmother treasured it. Dad supplied these details. I have few recollections of my grandmother; she died right around the time of my first clear memory. Sometimes I speculate whether she might have been an actual angel.
I know from what my grandfather has written that she was instrumental in sponsoring my mother's passage into the States. If not for her, I might be one of thousands of Julias scrapping for money and success in the Ukraine. My grandmother's drive made my life as it exists today possible. I held back tears when my father, eyes sparkling and mustache twitching, said, "She would have been delighted for you to have them."
Dad left as suddenly as he came, and I attended to the collection, hand washing every piece, holding very tightly, and then towel drying each one. In an hour and a half, I had built neat stacks, each dish separated by a paper towel buffer. My palms tingled, as they do whenever I feel excited. This was a treasure I never anticipated, but will cherish. It represents something much larger – a tangible connection to the lives my grandparents led in service to the Lutheran Church, and to a woman I remember, if only a little, adoring. If Misha were with me, I would have told him that often angels live within us, but sometimes they like to travel.

COMMENTARY: POPE'S ADVISOR REPLIES TO MY BOOK I have been asked whether the Pope (then Pope John Paul, picture below) ever replied to my open letter to him. The answer is no, he did not. However I sent a copy of an earlier version of the book A LAWYER PRESENTS THE CASE FOR THE AFTERLIFE through someone I knew at the time - a Jesuit priest, Fr. Peter Little from N. Sydney. A couple of months later he said he had received a succinct reply from Pope John Paul's advisors about the book, words to the effect:"this New Age writer does not mention God ...".
IRRELEVANT COMMENT? I found this a very strange comment. First, writing about the existence of God would be a different book with different evidence. There are many atheists who accept the afterlife but do not accept the idea of the human-like God of the Old Testament. Secondly, I do not regard myself as a 'New Age writer'. I am a lawyer who investigated the evidence for the afterlife. One would have thought that the Pope and his advisors would have found the subject of interest and would respond more intelligently - and more diplomatically.

"YOU DON'T DIE GLEN...WE DON'T DIE"
This is what a 'being of light' told a very surprised Vietnam Veteran, Glen Brimer, during his NDE. Glen talks about the huge problem he later had integrating the overwhelming love he experienced for every living thing during his NDE with the brutal reality of warfare.
When actress Jane Seymour was 36 years of age, she had a severe case of the flu and was given an injection of penicillin. She suffered an allergic reaction which led to a near-death experience."I literally left my body. I had this feeling that I could see myself on the bed, with people grouped around me. I remember them all trying to resuscitate me. I was above them, in the corner of the room looking down. I saw people putting needles in me, trying to hold me down, doing things. I remember my whole life flashing before my eyes, but I wasn't thinking about winning Emmys or anything like that. The only thing I cared about was that I wanted to live because I did not want anyone else looking after my children. I was floating up there thinking, "No, I don't want to die. I'm not ready to leave my kids." And that was when I said to God, "If you're there, God, if you really exist and I survive, I will never take your name in vain again." Although I believe that I "died" for about thirty seconds, I can remember pleading with the doctor to bring me back. I was determined I wasn't going to die."
Then Jane suddenly found herself back in her body.
THE CHESS GAME FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE Vernon Neppe, MD, PhD, FRSSAf, is a neuropsychiatrist based in Seattle. Here he provides a detailed analysis of a chess match played between a living grandmaster, Victor Korchnoi and an ostensible deceased grandmaster, Géza Maróczy, whose moves were communicated through a spiritualist medium using automatic writing. Neppe argues that this is a strong case supporting the hypothesis of survival of consciousness after death. It combines an unusual degree of accurate information with a high level of chess skill, plus aspects of personality.

QUESTION ON EVIDENCE: Victor, if there is a contradiction between what a scientist claims and what a lawyer claims, who prevails?
Victor: That is a tricky question because if the contradiction is over a scientific issue, then the scientist has a comparative advantage. But if the claim is about what constitutes evidence, then the lawyer prevails because lawyers know what is admissible evidence and what is not. There would be at least 100 years of precedents about admissible evidence in the courts. Scientists have not been able to disprove the twenty areas of admissible afterlife evidence in our book A LAWYER PRESENTS THE EVIDENCE FOR THE AFTERLIFE. Guaranteed, if the scientists could disprove the evidence, they would have done so fifteen years ago!
In his most interesting book, "Remote Viewers—The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies", (1997) Jim Schnabel cites a number of highly credible sources, including an American president, about the reality of Remote Viewing applied for military objectives. Here is just one: 'I never liked to get into debates with the skeptics, because if you didn't believe that remote viewing was real, you hadn't done your homework.' Major General Edmund R Thompson, U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, 1977-81, Deputy Director for Management and Operations, DIA, 1982-84 (Schnabel 1997: cover).
DIRECTLY FROM THE AFTERLIFE: HUGE, UNNECESSARY FEAR ON CROSSING OVER "I speak from first hand experience when I tell you of the extreme terror that consumes so many poor souls when their moment of transition has come. Instead of the winter of their earthy lives passing gently into the glorious fresh, fragrant spring of their new life in these lands (afterlife), they arrive here with that terror full upon them. Such beliefs are relics of pure paganism, but the wicked fiction has been kept up and disseminated by the Churches of earth as a measure of inspiring fear into the hearts of their 'faithful'. As a former priest of the church, I regret, deeply and earnestly, that I ever gave tongue to such misguided teaching. And there are hosts of others like me." Hugh Benson through Anthony Borgia.
CHIMPANZEES REMEMBER KINDNESS AFTER 18 YEARS "All animals are individuals and they have feelings and thoughts and they suffer the pain and the joy that we do."
FEEDBACK: 1) Liked your comment on free will. So, the more evolved you are, the more that, in the words of Lennon, "Instant karma's going to get you".
Thank you for another wonderful Afterlife Report - you introduced us to Arthur Yensen whom I was unfamiliar with, I loved Jack Canfield's interview, and much more. I look forward to this each week. I know it takes a lot of work and dedication. Just know that you are appreciated.

Should Bishop Eddie Long take authority or take a long vacation?

"I'm under attack."
This was the summation of Bishop Eddie Long's long-awaited and legally approved response from the much ballyhooed pulpit of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. As if the swolled Bishop had a kingdom resting atop Stone Mountain in Georgia, he gives yet another aged rally cry used from scandalous preachers in the past.
It's the most ragged page out of their ruddy playbook. You see, it's not the sin they committed; it's the fiendish acts Satan has committed against them.
At least, that's what they want you to believe because why else would the media, the lawsuits and the cries of a rather perturbed country come against the "Mand of Gawd?" See for yourself:
From the Washington Post story referred earlier:
"Please hear this: I have been accused. I'm under attack. I want you to know that I am not a perfect man, but this thing I'm gon' fight," said Long, who also preached a short sermon on surviving painful times. "I feel like David against Goliath, but I've got five rocks, and I haven't thrown one yet," the bishop said to roaring applause as he dropped his microphone on the pulpit with a thud, took his wife Vanessa's hand and left the stage.
The story forgot to mention the rose petals thrown at his feet, the serfdom bowing at his presence and the trumpets saluting his retreat in the sunset as well.
Leave the pomp and circumstance aside, it doesn't take away the fact that this is yet another alleged and shamed preacher who used the power of God given to him for the service of the Lord's kingdom to use for his own megalomaniacal purposes.
There is another serious problem:
Long never directly said he is innocent, but he made clear that he would not leave New Birth, and church leaders vowed to stick by him. "We stand behind our pastor. And there is a period behind that," church elder Darius Wise said.
We are but sheep, right? And sheep are known for one other thing, besides providing some sweet sweaters… they love the taste of Kool-Aid. Regardless of the flavor, it all tastes the same. Whatever the Mand of Gawd says it tastes like, that's the winner.
Bishop Eddie Long, left, embraces a friend Sunday at his Georgia megachurch. 'I am not a perfect man. But this thing I'm going to fight," he said.
The man never avowed his innocence and allegiance for the Lord, only that he will fight for his own kingdom. Doesn't he realize there is more at stake than the precious TV rights provided him by TBN and Daystar?
He has a family, a congregation, a gaggle of supporters… and oh yeah, the lives of four young men who believe Bishop Eddie Long used his authority in the Gospel to rape them.
That leaves quite the scar on one's spiritual upbringing, you know. And there's the tragedy with the megachurch these days.
They are not led by God, just for him.
Man, full of ruddy clay, riddled with angst and heaping with drama run these edifices… and are surrounded by a heaping troupe of Yes men.
Who will tell these dolts, "No." If they value their job, not a soul. And whose to say what God is saying to these egomaniacs. Not all leaders of huge churches have this personality, but we have seen many that do… and they all follow the same playbook when confronted with scandal.
What's the harm in taking a sabbatical to properly deal with this mess? Go away, get better and get beyond this drama. Think that will happen… uh, no.
And why? There is no competition for his throne. He has a legion of lawyers to protect him if there is an overtaker among the peons. And you waited a week to deliver your "David and Goliath" speech (of which the lawyers have used in statements as well).
Shoot, I was expecting "Unleash hell" sans the Maximus brutality. "Taking authority" is his fabled tagline after all. Although I think the dude just needs to take a much needed vacation.
Yet, there he goes, off in his Bentley and a sack of five stones at his leisure. Hope you and your legal team have good aim, Bishop Long. Because if you miss, there are more than 25,000 people who will fall with you.

Out of the Desert
Since 1973, many Americans have felt lost, isolated and scorned as they looked for some kind of direction to deal with their unwanted same sex attractions. In late 1973, the board of trustees of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) voted to drop homosexuality, per se, as a mental disorder. Ten board members, who voted 6-4, decided to simply obliterate its century old psychological definition by a consensus agreement. This has left those with unwanted same-sex attraction to aimlessly look for direction to find their true selves. The APA's tragic decision has left many with unwanted SSA alone in the desert for 40 years.
To make matters worse, for decades, many heterosexuals have scorned, humiliated, and shunned homosexuals. Instead of helping them out of the desert, they built up walls to keep them there. Not finding love, affirmation, and acceptance from heterosexuals, many with unwanted SSA decided to stop their isolated suffering. These men and women only wanted what everyone else wanted: to belong, to be accepted, and to be loved. The Gay Movement was born out of these simple, psychological, and emotional needs. The gay movement defended, fought for, and won over the hearts of many homosexuals, their parents, and their friends.
Is it any wonder then that homosexuals have built up walls to keep any non-gay affirming information away? Today's homosexuals do not even want to hear about 21st century strides in understanding the causes and the resolution for same sex attraction (all of which, by the way, deal with issues that a specialized, trained, licensed clinical therapist could facilitate had the APA's 6-4 ruling been allowed to be scientifically challenged, disproven and overruled.)
Most gays I've talked to are unaware of the latest discoveries about gender identity development, the healing of memories, the healing of post-traumatic stress disorder, and the remarkable ability of the brain to reorder pathways. They are unaware of twin studies which literally disprove any "Born Gay" theory. They are also unaware that they were not affirmed in their gender identity, perhaps since they were 18 months old. They are completely unaware of the thousands of authentic success stories of reoriented men and women.
What we need is a loving voice to reach those is the desert, to welcome them back, and to offer them wholeness. We need a new Moses.
Gisele Roy is a parent of a son in his twenties who has battled SSA for 13 years. She has struggled with the emotional pain of seeing her son experience rejection from his peers, loneliness, and deep depression. It is Gisele's hope that she, her husband and her son will continue to work on healing the deep-seated pain and emotional causes of his SSA and that her son will be able to find a wife who will complement him in every way.

1. Dr. Neil Whitehead has wrote extensively on this subject of the genetics and biology of same-sex attraction. He generally believes, as I do, that biology plays a very small factor in the development of same-sex attraction. According to his recent article based on a meta-analysis he did on Twin studies, he said the following:
"At best genetics is a minor factor," says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD. Whitehead worked for the New Zealand government as a scientific researcher for 24 years, then spent four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic Energy Agency. Most recently, he serves as a consultant to Japanese universities about the effects of radiation exposure. His PhD is in biochemistry and statistics.
Identical twins have the same genes or DNA. They are nurtured in equal prenatal conditions. If homosexuality is caused by genetics or prenatal conditions and one twin is gay, the co-twin should also be gay.
"Because they have identical DNA, it ought to be 100%," Dr. Whitehead notes. But the studies reveal something else. "If an identical twin has same-sex attraction the chances the co-twin has it are only about 11% for men and 14% for women."

2. 100 years of research does indeed show that some people with homosexual feelings do experience change, on a continuum, to heterosexuality. See the landscape research review here:
http://www.unav.es/icf/main/top/diciembre09/Narth_What-research-shows-homosexuality.pdf
Additionally, A recent study indicated that while heterosexual feelings are more stable in both genders, women might have even more fluidity in their same-sex attractions than men. Similarly, previous research has found that heterosexual attractions are 17 times more stable in men and 30 times more stable in women than homosexual attractions.

Harare - Former president Robert Mugabe doesn't want to join cash-starved Zimbabwe's bank queues: he wants to get his money out in cash – just like he's always done.
It's emerged that the 94 year-old was getting $20 000 a month in cash while he was president – while telling ordinary citizens they should adopt plastic money.
Now he's asking for a lump sum pay-out of nearly half a million US dollars plus his monthly pension of more than $13 000 in cash, reports the Sunday Mail.
Public Service Commission Chairperson Mariyawanda Nzuwah wrote in a letter to central bank chief John Mangudya: "The former president was being paid his salary in cash and he has requested that the same arrangement be maintained."
"We are kindly requesting you to avail cash amounting to $467 200 and monthly cash amounts of $13 333 for us to pay the former president of Zimbabwe his pension benefits," the letter said.
The news will fuel anger in a country where chronic cash shortages have plagued ordinary Zimbabweans for nearly two years.
A source in the office of the new president said Emmerson Mnangagwa recently turned down an attempt to be paid in cash like his predecessor.
The president is reported to have told a visiting government bank official "that if he needed cash he would queue for it like everyone else because the cash shortages affected all Zimbabweans and he would demand no such preferential and irregular treatment."


It's been busy! Here is a sample of what has been happening.
4th January 2017 – Jeremy Barrell (BSc FArborA DipArb CBiol FICFor FRICS), of Barrell Tree Consultancy, appeared on the BBC's 'The One Show', where he gave his expert opinion on the need to retain Sheffield's healthy highway trees.
7th January – A Facebook organised event asked Sheffielders to 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon' all the way round the Town Hall. STAG uses ribbons to draw attention to threatened trees, an idea inspired by the popular song 'Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree.' Despite the rain, hundreds of supporters turned up to make this action possible.
• the City of Bristol's carefully thought-out civic tree strategy.
• the CAVAT system for measuring the 'community-amenity' value of individual trees. Sheffield's street-trees are worth millions of pounds by this calculation!
• the real age of Sheffield's 'young adult' trees. They aren't 'past it' as Sheffield City Council have been telling everyone, they have centuries yet to live!
• potential health problems for people and wildlife caused by the daylight-spectrum bulbs in Amey's new street-lights. Chicago's urban trees suffered when extended winter 'daylight' disturbed their yearly cycle.
• attractive and commonly used engineering solutions for pavements with large trees.
The conference highlighted the real need to share tree knowledge with the general public. Some of this information can be found in STAG's campaign leaflets.
5th February 2017 – Amey Plc, assisted by the South Yorkshire Police (SYP), arrived in Chippinghouse Road, Nether Edge, to fell a number of large street trees. Trees were protected by residents and campaigners alike and, despite the calm and orderly nature of the protest, seven people, including Sheffield City Councillor Alison Teal, were promptly arrested (under the same ''Trade Union Act' as used in Marden Road in 2016) when they decided to enter the work zone underneath a condemned horse chestnut. Sadly the tree was felled shortly after the arrests.
6th February 2017 – Amey returned to Chippinghouse Road. Felling was initially delayed due to quick thinking protestors parking their cars under trees, although this was only a temporary solution as they were asked to remove their vehicles by SCC parking services. Last minute permission was granted by a homeowner, allowing campaigners to stand in their front garden overhung by a threatened tree. Meanwhile Inspector Stubbs arrived insisting that protestors could not remain in the garden, however campaigners stood their ground.
Over on the other side of the road, Amey's safety barriers were repositioned several times over the course of a couple of hours, each time enlarging the work zone around the tree and reducing the area in which protestors were allowed to stand. Although 'public safety' was cited, it was understood by protestors as deliberate attempt by police to clear the area so that felling work could continue.
7th February 2017 – eight police officers arrested a further two individuals on Chippinghouse Road, this time while staging a non-violent protest on private property, bringing the total number of those arrested to 14. The legality of these arrests was disputed, however SYP assured STAG that they were correct in their interpretation of the law, and remaining tree-protectors were forced to stand down leading to the loss of another healthy tree.
8th February 2017 – Inspector Stubbs was informed by superiors that he was being broadcast on Facebook Live. Shortly after this the police backed down with regard to their earlier insistence on arresting people stood on private property and a contested tree was saved.
9th February 2017 – The destruction of 'Lonesome George', a stately horse chestnut in a part of Chippinghouse Road with no other trees, was particularly painful. Residents living next to 'George' came home to find their street full of police-cars, barriers and arborist crews. Due to the flawed survey process many had not realised that 'their' conker-tree was due to be felled, resulting in understandable distress.
SYP again used arguably intimidatory tactics when they penned residents and protestors into a narrow part of the pavement opposite 'George'.
10th February 2017 – Back on Chippinghouse Road, Chris Rust handed over a 'warning' letter to Insp. Stubbs. It repeated STAG's belief that the decision to conduct arrests and issue warnings to protestors stood on public highways and on resident's properties is unlawful.
The police response to STAG's warning letter was to continue with the threat of arrests under the Trade Union Act.
13th February 2017 – Police arrived to handle peaceful citizens gathered on St. Ronan's Road, Nether Edge, and Chris Rust took the opportunity to deliver legal advice written by barrister, Paul Powlesland, to Insp. Stubbs. In it Paul questions the arrests and warnings that took place at both Marden and Chippinghouse Roads under Section 241, including a detailed consideration of what constitutes an arrestable offence under this act.
Shortly after this SYP announced the suspension of tree felling on both St. Ronan's Road and also across the city at Chiltern Road in Hillsborough, so that their own solicitor had a chance to review the new advice.
This marked the end of police involvement in overseeing peaceful tree protection, a position later reinforced by Dr. Alan Billings, the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, when he said: "The police should not be drawn into delivery of the policy, as they were when they knocked on doors in the early hours on Rustlings Road. This was a matter for the city council and its contractors, as I said at the time." As Amey could no longer rely on protestors being removed by the police felling in Nether Edge ceased.
For more detail on the events taking place during this challenging fortnight read the legal situation.
25th February 2017 – The 'Stop the Spin' event was hosted on the steps of Sheffield Town Hall, the origin of much of the misinformation spread about Sheffield's street trees. The centrepiece of the occasion was a chainsaw-wielding arborist (one of our supporters) dressed in hi-vis gear chasing down trees (a small forest of supporters with branches) to a chainsaw soundtrack. The public were generally amused and the event provided an excellent opportunity to talk to people about trees and hand out informative leaflets. For more on the council's misinformation campaign please read our Stop the Spin leaflet.
25th February 2017 – Channel 4 News aired an in-depth report on the many factors behind the destruction of Sheffield's trees. Watch the video.
27th February 2017 – Dore residents gathered to celebrate 150 year old 'Vernon Oak', who is still in the prime of his life. As can be seen from this photo, he is the only large tree on Vernon Road. Vernon is a reminder of when this area was still predominantly a farmed landscape and deserves extra recognition for his contribution to the historical and cultural heritage of this city.
SCC say this venerable tree must be removed because it has pushed the kerb slightly out of alignment. This is in spite of an Independent Tree Panel recommendation to retain the tree.
By the end of February all plans by the Crown Prosecution Service to try any of the 14 arrested tree-protectors were dropped. Various reasons were given including: 'lack of evidence' and 'not being in the public interest' . While some arrestees were relieved, others were disappointed not to be able to argue the legality of their arrest in court.
15th March 2017 – South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, Dr. Alan Billings, said that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is "not prepared to criminalize peaceful protesters," and that attending proposed felling was not a good use of police resources.
19th March 2017 – marked one hundred years since Oxford and Tay Street residents planted trees as a 'living memorial' to their WW1 dead. The Royal British Legion joined with Oxford and Tay Street residents and STAG representatives to hold a memorial ceremony for the 77 young men from the local neighbourhood, who lost their lives in WW1. As their bodies could not be repatriated the trees were planted as a focus for their families' grief. An exhibition about the soldiers, where they lived, worked and died, was displayed along the full length of Oxford Street.
These hundred year old trees have only just reached their adult size and have a century or more of life yet to live. Nonetheless nine of these healthy trees are threatened with removal.
STAG staged a WW1 historical re-enactment. Nine young men, including current and former military personnel, marched briskly from Midland Station, past Sheffield Town Hall to the Weston Park Cenotaph, then on to the Oxford and Tay street Memorial Ceremony for two minutes' silence at 11.00am. A young man in WW1 uniform stood 'on guard' by each of the nine 'young adult' threatened trees. Later they marched past the (also threatened) Western Road War Memorial trees.
Artist Paul Brooke created a 5 day long piece of performance art in the Winter Gardens. On 1st April original amateur artwork was replaced with an exhibition of cartoons and satirical works by renowned local artists including Pete McKee, James Whitworth and Lydia Monks.
Performance Artist Paul Brooke created an entirely fictitious art club named 'Meersbrook Community Arts Club' and booked an exhibition space in the Winter Gardens (a Council managed public space). Paul Brooke said "The purpose is to raise awareness of the destruction of Sheffield's street tree heritage and the failure of the Council to read and understand contracts, by using satirical art. […] We submitted information with our application that clearly stated that the 'Art Club' was fictitious but evidently the Council did not read the contract, this reflects one of the concerns many residents have about Sheffield City Council's oversight of the 'Streets Ahead' PFI contract with Amey".
3rd April 2017 – International support for STAG: the Taiwanese Tree-Party and Canadian Professor of Resource and Environmental Studies visited Sheffield. The city's controversial tree-felling programme has been widely criticised, both throughout the UK and internationally – Sheffield is now famous, but sadly for the wrong reasons.
Delegates from the Taiwanese Tree-Party are pictured standing in front of the 120-year-old Chelsea Road Elm, a rare survivor of Dutch Elm Disease. STAG members, including Sheffield City Councillors Alison Teal and Majid Majid, showed them trees at risk in many parts of the city.
The following day Professor Peter Duinker, from the School for Resource and Environmental Studies at Dalhousie University Canada, came to see Sheffield's tree-felling programme for himself. His visit was co-hosted by STAG and the Woodland Trust.
STAG regularly receives supportive messages from across the UK and around the world.
15th April 2017 – The Roots of Steel concert was held at Yellow Arch studios. The community turned out in force to watch an excellent line-up and the event was a great success. All proceeds from this one day festival were donated to STAG.
24th May 2017 – The result of the 'Great Trees of Sheffield 2017' competition was announced at Hallam University. After an intense and lengthy discussion over the many characterful trees that were nominated, the winner was judged to be the Western Road War Memorial Trees. Professor Ian Rotherham presented a trophy 'Tree of Steel' to Robin Ridley, a resident of Western Road.
25th May 2017 – Instead of negotiating with the people they are appointed to represent, SCC published a notice in the Sheffield Telegraph, of questionable legality, banning pedestrians from walking along their own streets if and when required to do so. This was also backed up with the appearance of numerous street signs with similar wording – more on this in the legal situation.
In a highly surreal development 'security operatives', posing as arborists and wearing discreet body-cams, have been employed to film polite and peaceful protesters. There is reason to believe that this may well represent a breach of data protection laws – STAG are still reviewing this.
Final week of May 2017 – events took an ugly turn when certain unstable individuals 'previously known to the Police' vented their frustrations on campaigners, and a senior Amey manager is alleged to have assaulted a peaceful tree-protector. To our great relief SYP have protected us impartially and confirmed that we have the right to peaceful protest.
Amey brought in extra crews from outside the city in an attempt to overwhelm campaigners. Members of the public reported several incidents, concerned that Health and Safety guidelines for the safe felling of trees in public areas were being neglected. The general consensus was that the additional crews were in Sheffield on a 'hit and run' mission.
STAG requested another meeting with SCC in early July to try to find a way forward that recognises the concerns of of residents and the wider tree-protecting community.
26th June 2017 – Another attempt was made to take the remaining threatened trees on Chippinghouse Road. Once again the actions of protestors halted felling and the tree crews stood down.
A notice attached to a safety barrier, designed to exclude protestors from the work zone, was only partially successful. Several tree-protectors chose to ignore the warning and stand directly underneath trees or in adjacent gardens where permission was given.
27th June 2017 – Meanwhile the council have responded to continuing protests by issuing pre-injunction notices to protestors and residents alike. Despite agreeing to meet with STAG in early July it would seem that SCC are still unwilling to listen to public opinion and are taking extreme steps to squash attempts to save trees. Watch the BBC Look North report and read Cllr. Alison Teal's response in the Guardian.
29th June 2017 – Contractors arrived to fell the cherry trees on Abbeydale Park Rise. Residents keen to defend their trees were supported by STAG and no trees were taken. These cherries were planted by the community years decades ago, with the council's permission. Now they are being removed due to pavement and kerb issues despite vocal opposition from a community determined to keep them.
30th June 2017 – SCC have announced their intention to fell the Chelsea Road Elm, arguably one of Sheffield's most important trees and winner of second place in the English Tree of the Year 2016 competition.
As one of only around 1000 elms outside of Brighton and Edinburgh that have been able to survive Dutch Elm Disease beyond the age of 50, it is a nationally important tree. A colony of rare White Letter Hairstreak butterfly, a Biodiversity Action Plan species, call it home and, without another suitable tree to move to, this butterfly's future is in doubt.
The ITP have recommended saving this special tree and yet again the council have ignored their advice.
28th June 2017 – A BBC report into the tree campaign including a discussion of injunctions (apologies for video quality).

Crowdfunding has received raised donations ranging from £2.00 to £400.00. The support for the 'Leeds Eight' has been overwhelming and contributions are coming in at approximately £1,000 per day! That said, court-cases don't come cheap, and fundraising efforts continue.
6th August 2017 – Christmas came early to Abbeydale Park Rise, famed citywide for its Christmas lights and its buzzing cherry-blossom each spring. Every December people from across Sheffield and the nearby Peak District come to soak up the atmosphere under the boughs of these illuminated trees.
Despite it being late summer, not winter, around 50 residents and supporters gathered to hold a vigil under the cherries. There were tears, cheers, songs and poems, as campaigners stood defiant under the glow of fairy lights.
Residents have attempted to negotiate with Amey and Sheffield City Council, however they have been told the felling of 19 trees will go ahead as planned. The street is poised to defend their trees when the chainsaws come, as it is now the only option left.

These two items tie the Beatles to both Manson and the Zodiac killings. Fritz's book confirmed my suspicion that Beatles lyrics were used to program killers.
The lyrics to "You Never Give Me Your Money" were written on that door BEFORE the White Album was released.
The Z letter clandestinely quotes the same verse of the song.


Is your data safe? What if your hard disk fails? Or a burglar ransacks your office? A backup is essential, but not all backups are created equal. You need a rock-solid backup strategy that ensures you can restore quickly and completely, no matter what catastrophe arises.

Q: jQuery code difference Let me start by saying that I'm not a JavaScript programer or a jQuery guru by any means, I'm actually just starting with jQuery.
I have the two following jQuery codes:
$('.tipTrigger').hover(function(){
    $(this).toggleClass('active').prev('.tipText').stop(true, true).fadeToggle('fast');
});

and
if ($(".tooltip-container").length > 0){
    $('.tipTrigger').hover(function(){
        $(this).toggleClass('active').prev('.tipText').stop(true, true).fadeToggle('fast');
    });
}

Several questions I have about this:

*

*What is basically the difference between the two codes above?

*What is the meaning of if ($(".tooltip-container").length > 0){?

*Is there a benefit to using the above if?

*What's more 'efficient' from a developer's stand point? (that is IF something so small would have a considerable performance impact in any way)

Any other comments/help with this simple comparison would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A: The second sets the hover function only if there are one or more DOM elements with the class "tooltip-container".
Both traverse the DOM to find elements with the specified class(es); whether or not the difference in efficiency is worth it depends on the DOM, when the statement is called, etc.

A: *

*The hover functionality will only be registered if...

*... there is at least one element in the page with class "tooltip-container".

*Slight performance maybe, unless there is some hidden magic in the way these tooltips work I don't know about.

*If it's not going to slow it down or error, I generally favour cleaner code over miniscule performance tweaks.

A: *

*What is basically the difference between the two codes above?

The second will only set the hover function if there is an element on the page with the class 'tooltip-container'

*What is the meaning of if '($(".tooltip-container").length > 0){'?

Simple if statement to test if element having class tooltip-container exist on document

*Is there a benefit to using the above if?

In short, in this case, not really, since the .hover wont be asigned unless an element having classtipTrigger exist anyway.  Also this could cause performance issues since it only checks to see if one tooltip-container element exist.  If this is a check to ensure tipTrigger is "inside" said container, it will fail in that as soon as one element with tooltip-container is found, ALL elements with tipTrigger will be asigned hover function and this MAY BE undesired.

*What's more 'efficient' from a developer's stand point? (that is IF something so small would have a considerable performance impact in any way)

If you must check to make sure that only tipTrigger elements inside tooltip-container elements are fired, you might consider use of jQuery's .each function or use CSS in the selector, as follows

>
$('.tooltip-container .tipTrigger').hover(function(){
    $(this).toggleClass('active').prev('.tipText').stop(true, true).fadeToggle('fast');
});

For Further Understanding

*

*.toggleClass: toggle's class active on this element

*.prev: moves chain into referencing the element having class tipText that comes before current element in dom

*.stop: stops any anymation in current on this element

*.fadeToggle: will begin to fade the element into "hiding"

Polycarbonate roofing sheets have so many applications in the home. Whether you're looking to build a new carport or replace your old pergola roof, choosing the correct polycarbonate roofing sheets is essential. But with a large selection of roofing sheets present in the market, making the right choice can be a bit confusing, especially if you're an average homeowner.
This guide outlines what to look into to ensure you choose the appropriate polycarbonate sheets for your roofing project.
Your local climate is an important consideration when choosing polycarbonate roofing sheets. You'll need to use roofing sheets suited to the climatic conditions in your local area. If your home is located in an area that receives plenty of sunshine across the year, for example, you'll need to choose sheets that provide great thermal insulation and adequate UV protection.
Where light transmission is given priority over thermal insulation, thinner polycarbonate sheets are desirable. Single-walled roofing sheets can provide better light transmission than their double-walled or multi-walled counterparts. But if you live in an area that's prone to hailstorms, choosing roofing sheets that offer maximum-impact resistance is a top priority. Multi-layered polycarbonate roofing sheets will outperform their single- and double-layered cousins in this regard.
Whether you like it or not, the appearance of the roofing sheets you choose is going to affect the kerb appeal of your residential property. If you're like many homeowners, you care about the appearance of your roof.
Polycarbonate sheets come in a wide variety of colours and shades, ranging from clear polycarbonate to coloured polycarbonate. Custom colours can also be provided upon request. Make sure you choose a look that will blend well with the features in your home's exterior.
The different types of polycarbonate roofing sheets available go for different prices because they don't offer the same level of performance. When choosing polycarbonate sheets for your roofing project, look for sheets you can afford. In determining the most affordable roofing sheets your project, don't just focus on the prices. Establish what you need and choose a product that matches your needs and budget.
Your local climate is the biggest factor affecting your choice of polycarbonate roofing sheets. After all, you need your roof to protect the space beneath from harsh weather. But aesthetics and budgetary considerations matter as well. If you're still on the fence about which type of polycarbonate roofing sheets are right for you, talk to a roofing expert today.

once the navigation key stops working, it is a clear cut indication for yu to change replace the entire strip itself. the strip is expensive and the money yu spend on the strip can by yu a nokia basic phone.. any sliding bar high end phones have this strip problem.. apart from this one major draw back is its response time,, it keeps on going slower day by day.. pls keep updating the software..

Clayton Dog Off-Leash Park was the first dog park in Surrey to be fully fenced with separate large and small dog areas. The park features a total enclosed area of 1.25 hectares (3 acres), making it one of the largest off-leash areas in the City. The enclosed areas feature grass fields, forest and bushes, as well as paved perimeter paths. The park is very popular with dog owners in the Clayton and Cloverdale neighbourhoods.
You'll find parking available from 188th Street, benches and a water fountain for dogs.
At the east side of the park, just outside the fenced dog park, is the new Clayton Community Garden, which was put forward by local residents from the Clayton and Provinceton areas of Cloverdale. These two areas are connected by Clayton Park and the Clayton Dog Off-Leash Park.
The goal of the Clayton Garden Group is to connect the community through gardening; growing fresh healthy fruits and vegetables for members, as well as those less fortunate; and utilizing park space to educate people about gardening.
Inquire about garden plots at claytonparkcommunitygarden@gmail.com and follow the Clayton Garden Group on Facebook.

Zimbabwe's ruling party fired President Robert Mugabe on Sunday, ending his 37-year reign as the African country's leader after being placed under house arrest days ago, a party official said.
Recently fired Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa was appointed as the new leader of the ZANU-PF party and is expected to lead a new government. Party members said Mugabe must resign by 12 p.m. Monday or will "definitely" face impeachment. Innocent Gonese with the MDC-T party said they had been in discussions with the ruling ZANU-PF party to act jointly.
Senior figures of the party gathered early Sunday for an emergency meeting of the party's Central Committee to discuss calls to expel the 93-year-old leader. First lady Grace Mugabe was also recalled as head of the women's league. The now-former leader's talks with army commander Constantino Chiwenga are in the second round of negotiations on an exit as the military tries to avoid accusations of a coup.
Mugabe remained under house arrest with his wife and resisted calls to step aside. Vast throngs of demonstrators turned Zimbabwe's capital into a carnival ground on Saturday in a peaceful outpouring of disdain for their longtime leader and calls for him to quit immediately. People in Harare clambered onto tanks and other military vehicles moving slowly through the crowds, danced around soldiers walking in city streets and surged in the thousands toward the building where Mugabe held official functions.
