Bodies Found at Joshua Tree National Park Identified
Jaffa King
CREATED Aug. 24, 2011
JOSHUA TREE - The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has identified the two people who were found dead in Joshua Tree National Park on Monday.
44 year old Augustinus Van Hove of the Netherlands and 38 year old Helena Nuellett of Germany were tourists who were on their way to Arizona. Investigators say the pair stayed in the Coachella Valley Sunday night.
The couple entered the park sometime Monday morning - the day their bodies were found. Toxicology results are not yet in, but authorities say there are no sign of obvious injury to either person and believe the pair died due to exposure to the extreme heat. The investigation is ongoing.

This is my first piece of Menswear that I have made…but I'm sure it won't be my last, because it turned out totally awesome. I got this lovely mustache fabric printed on organic cotton sateen from Spoonflower. I fell in LOVE with this print as soon as I saw it, I was initially going to make myself a dress in it, but it really suited this Men's Shirt sewing pattern. I sewed the shirt true to the pattern with little alterations, it was really easy to make and fit super well! I sewed it in a size 50 here, but I did lengthen it 1" and I added a pocket. Boys really like pockets on their shirts.
I have a feeling I'm going to be making a lot more of these, guys want to be stylish too!

Ah a! That's where the tab is supposed to go! I made this for my boyfriend and was utterly confused about that. (I put it on the inside in the end.) I also struggled with keeping the flat fell seams straight and accurate. But mine is for costume / festivals so can be a bit rough. (It is bright green with multicoloured spots.)
I love the fabric!

This is the best salsa recipe I've found so far and I've tried about a dozen. I got it from one of the local hospital cookbooks that are sold in my area. I changed it a bit and have been canning it for years. The reason I plant a garden is for this salsa. We would be lost without it. Hope you like it as much as we do. One of our members who is a food scientist took this salsa to work, tested the pH and found it measured under 4.0 (well within the safety limit for boiling water bath processing).

The grandson of a daycare owner has been arrested for sexually abusing a 5-year-old boy at the daycare.
The crime happened in October 2008, at Sandy's Family Childcare, which is run out of a home on Vena Drive, east of Interstate 75.
According to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Mark Dungan-Carpenter, 21, is not officially listed as a daycare employee, but he lives in the home, and his grandmother occasionally paid him to watch the children.
The sheriff's office is working with the Department of Children and Families to identify other potential victims.

25. June 2013 06:01 by Lynne 0 Comments Oldest Cave Art in the US Discovered 25. June 2013 06:01 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareResearchers have announced the discovery of prehistoric art dating back 6000 years located in caves on the Cumberland Plateau in and near Tennessee. These pictographs, the oldest U.S. cave art to date, offer a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of early Native Americans. The rock art include drawings of hunters, birds and snakes, as well as what authors of the article in Antiquity describe as heroic or ceremonial images of humans turning into animal forms, flying through the air, or reaching through walls. While most of the drawing are pictographs, a few are images scratched into the damp clay of Mud Glyph Cave, according to the Fox News story. Lead author Jan Simek, professor emeritus of the Department of Anthropology, University of Tennessee, hypothesizes that the cave art may be tied to surface rock art in the area. He suggests that the art may show images from three levels of existence: an upper, celestial world, a middle world showing life on the earth's surface, and an underworld. Cumberland Plateau cave art often depicted images of a lower world filled with darkness, danger and death. For example, scorpion drawings appear only in deep caves where they appear to be part of the First People's lower world imagery. Others, such as transformation images and rayed circles, are found both on surface objects as well as in caves.

16. January 2013 10:57 by Lynne 0 Comments Where's the Respect? 16. January 2013 10:57 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareJudging by recent events in the fashion and entertainment industry, It seems to be difficult for many non-Native people to understand why they should respect Native American culture and traditions. After all, we openly criticize the dominant culture, and our laws support freedom of speech. Why should we treat American Indian customs differently? Partially, I think the problem is that most people in our society have had very little contact with traditional Native American culture. They don't understand that to disrespect what appears to be a superficial aspect of Native culture is to disrespect tribal beliefs and traditions. Also, Indian people have a longer history of cultural suppression and assimilation than other minorities in the US. It isn't surprising that they're demanding respect for what they've preserved. In addition, some wannabes have crossed the line between imitation and respect when they vulgarize customs such as sweat lodges. There's a large gray area between admiring and imitating Native culture and lack of respect. Some of it has to do with motive. When I lived on a reservation, an Anglo I knew, who sincerely believed in the traditional religion, asked a medicine man to hold a healing ceremony for him—not so that he could later write or blog about the experience, but because he believed he would be healed of a serious illness. On the other hand, I also knew non-Natives who bribed members of the tribe to let them participate in traditional ceremonies. And, at the far end of the spectrum we have the recent situation where a Victoria's Secret underwear model was decked out in Native jewelry and an imitation feather war bonnet. But times change, too. Last Spring I attended the Denver pow-wow and my jaw dropped when the emcee invited non-Indian visitors to join in a few of the dances. Not to mention the fact that the audience applauded every dance. My attitude toward pow-wow dances comes from the years spent at a reservation college where at each and every pow-wow the college president reminded non-Natives that the dances were religious in nature and applause was unacceptable. Joining in the dance was grounds for a strong reprimand. Teaching respect is not as simple as passing a law on equal rights. First, children need to understand the importance of respecting people from other cultures. That's best taught at home by example, but it can also be learned at multi-ethnic schools like those I attended, with children whose parents came from all over the world. Looking back on it now, I think the Denver pow-wow emcee was right. If non-Indian children are allowed to participate in dances with little religious significance, maybe when those children become adults they won't see Native culture as something alien or exotic. Instead of feeling threatened by it, hopefully they'll see that Native American culture has many things of value to offer and deserves their respect.
16. January 2013 06:13 by Lynne 0 Comments Canadian First People Protest Budget Bill & Demand Rights 16. January 2013 06:13 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareNative Americans in Canada are using fasting and civil disobedience to protest a 2012 budget bill that First People and critics say makes it easier to sell reserve lands and weakens environmental safeguards for Canadian lakes and rivers. Teresa Spence, chief of the Attawapiskat Tribe, has been fasting on fish broth and medicinal tea for over 30 days, in an attempt to start a dialog with the current government. Other First Nation chiefs have joined her. They hope to address concerns over the recent budget bill as well as unfulfilled promises dating back to 1900 about indigenous participation in developing natural resources and other benefits. In recent developments, Ms. Spence refused to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Her reason for boycotting the meeting is that many of the treaty rights at issue date back to British control of Canada and were established by royal proclamation. Ms. Spence said that she was willing to attend a ceremonial meeting with Governor General David Johnston. However, Shawn Atleo, Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, and some other Native leaders met with the Prime Minister on Friday January 11, and agreed to a future meeting. Topics of the meeting will be treaty rights, education and employment opportunities. Various Canadian Native rights groups, including Idle No More (INM) are supporting the protest. During 2012, members of INM held marches, highway blockades and flash mob protests with Native drumming and dancing to call attention to various demands. Spokespeople for Idle No More have stated that their quarrel is not with the Canadian people, but with the current government.

For more information go to: http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Local%20News/BC-NM--HistoricMarker-PuebloPotter BBC Special Explains El Dorado Myth Stories of a city of gold were the driving force behind a number of Spanish expeditions into Central and South America. The facts behind the legend are explored as part of a new BBC Four series "Lost Kingdoms of South America." According to Dr. Jago Cooper, British Museum curator for the Americas, archaeological research has proven that El Dorado was originally a religious ceremony of the Muisca peoples in Colombia. El Dorado was the climax of an initiation ceremony for new Muisca leaders. The new leader, naked except for a covering of mud and gold dust, made offerings to the gods by throwing specially made gold objects into a sacred lake. The best description of this ceremony comes from a 16th Century book The Conquest and Discovery of the New Kingdom of Granada by Juan Rodriguez Freyle. The Muisca peoples made a special alloy of gold, silver and copper called "tumbaga" as an offering to the gods to maintain balance and harmony in Muisca society and with their environment. With time, the Muisca ceremonial lakes were transformed into "cities of gold"—untold riches for a European society using gold as a symbol of wealth and as well as a currency. "Lost Kingdoms of South America" began airing January 14 on BBC Four. For more information on this series: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pyfwc

December 2012 05:36 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareFirst Native American Saint Named This October the pope named the first Native American Catholic saint, Kateri Tekakwitha, an Algonquin/Mohawk woman who lived in the 17th Century. Kateri lost most of her family to smallpox and was left scarred and partially blind. According to the BBC Magazine article, she was baptized into the Catholic religion at the age of 20. After conversion she took a lifetime vow of chastity and left her village for a Jesuit-run mission near Montreal. There she spent her days in self-punishment and fasting. She died four years later. Because the mission Jesuits believed her to be a saint, they wrote down everything they knew about her. These records show that miracles started to occur when she died—the scars disappeared from her face, she appeared to people in visions. In 2006 a part-Lummi boy was cured of a flesh-eating bacterial infection, necrotizing fasciitis, when a bone from Kateri Tekakwitha was placed against his body.

12. November 2012 10:45 by Lynne 0 Comments Seller Beware 12. November 2012 10:45 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareBeading is a skilled craft and fine beadwork an art. For many Native people, beadwork is part of tribal culture, a skill handed down from generation to generation. Because beadwork is used to make adornments for children as well as adults, and because some is classified as jewelry, it is regulated by law. At present, U.S. consumer safety laws do not require any special documents to import beads and jewelry findings. Nor do they restrict beadwork and beaded jewelry for adults. However, the 2008 Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act does regulate all products intended for children. Only the State of California's Lead-Containing Jewelry Law and Proposition 65 require special documents proving adult jewelry components meet their safety standards. Anyone who lives or works in California, or who sells to customers from California must comply with both of these laws. California requires all manufacturers to provide certificates showing that their products comply with California law, and Proposition 65 requires anyone employing 10 or more people selling or distributing products in the State of California to include warning labels. These labels must state that the product contains specified hazardous materials or, that the product may contain a hazardous material. With some exceptions, most beadwork for adults falls into the second category. The warning reads: "This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm." There are two reasons why the warning is required. First, because the chemicals listed in Proposition 65 are reviewed twice a year. California's logic is that just because beading components are not classified as harmful now, some chemical used for coloring or lining the beads may be found to cause harm in the future. Use of warning labels protects jewelry makers from unintentionally breaking the law. Second, although these laws were intended to regulate things like cast lead jewelry charms for children, they have resulted in a flood of lawsuits that include possible harm to adults—not always because it was proven that someone got cancer from the product, but because they "might" get cancer. Without the warning, at some future date, the seller or maker of beaded jewelry may find themself in court trying to prove that their jewelry didn't cause harm. Even though most beaders don't employ 10 or more people and are exempt from Proposition 65's warning, no one is exempt from the threat of lawsuits. Certainly children should be protected from toxic materials. But how far we should go to protect adults from possible harm caused by swallowing or inhaling something that was clearly meant only to be worn externally as jewelry, is debatable. I suspect the adult provisions in these laws have more to do with the fact that today stupidity is profitable and benefits the legal profession, than with controlling potentially harmful substances. And it seems a pity that in order to protect ourselves from lawsuits, we should be forced to put scary warnings on something meant to bring beauty and joy to our lives.

Passed in 2006, the law was designed to support programs in tribal communities for restoration and immersion in endangered Native languages. Companion bills to refund the Act have been introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. The House bill is sponsored by a bipartisan group of legislators from New Mexico. The Act was named for Esther Martinez, a member of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, located in the State of New Mexico, who kept her Tewa language despite being punished for speaking it through years of boarding school.

27. September 2012 06:12 by Lynne 0 Comments How Current Lead-in-Jewelry Laws Affect the Beading Industry 27. September 2012 06:12 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareA fair amount has been written about jewelry and current laws regulating the amount of lead and other toxic substances in products for children as well as adults. At the risk of adding to the mass of information already on-line, here is how we believe these laws impact the beaded jewelry craft industry. Even if you don't make beaded jewelry designed for children, if children are able to wear the jewelry (such as necklaces, earrings, barrettes, bracelets), for your own protection you should be aware of current laws. These laws were passed because in the United States several children have died or become seriously ill from chewing on or swallowing jewelry parts made of lead coated with another material or jewelry parts having a high lead content. The US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act The main law that must be considered is the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008. This law limits the amount of lead and other toxic materials in products intended for children age 12 and under. On August 2011 the amount of lead allowed in children's products was reduced to 100 parts per million (1%). Products with a higher amount of lead covered by surface coating or electroplating are not allowed. Thus, parts and findings made of electroplated lead are not safe for children. The amount of lead in paint and surface coatings may not be higher than 0.009 percent (90 parts per million). In addition, anyone making products intended for children under age 12 must age grade their products and follow other standards set out in the law: http://www.cpsc.gov/info/toysafety/childrensproduct.html. CPSIA also regulates products not intended for children. To see a list of these products, go to http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/reg.html . One important section of CPSIA that beaders and jewelry crafters who make children's products need to keep in mind is the ban on small parts for children under 3 years old. The Act defines a small part as any object that fits into a cylinder 1-1/4" in diameter x 2-1/4" long. The term "small part" includes: (1) a whole toy or article; (2) a separate part of a toy, game, or other article; (3) a piece of a toy or article that breaks off during testing that simulates use or abuse by children. This definition makes most beaded jewelry illegal for children under 3. The term "beads" includes everything from Swarovski crystals to heishi to plastic pony beads. Most beaders who sell their work to stores and at craft fairs use glass beads of one type of another and this article will deal mainly with glass. Glass beads are manufactured in various countries. Companies each have their own manufacturing method. Some use lead in the glass making process, others don't. For example, Miyuki, who makes Delica beads, states that they do not use any lead in the actual glass making process, but some of their slips and linings contain lead. Most bead manufacturers have a contact email address on their website. If you use beads from one or two manufacturers exclusively, we recommend you contact them and ask about lead content. Some bead manufacturers have already posted information on line about lead in their product. One of these is Kandi Corp. that makes Swarovski crystals. Beaders who use Swarovski crystals in their work should read their lead content statement http://www.i-kandi.com/CPSIA-Crystal-Lead-Statement.htm At least two states have passed laws restricting the amount of lead and other dangerous materials in children's products—Illinois and California. While these laws are essentially superseded by the CPSIA, until the provisions of California's Lead-Containing Jewelry Law are tested in court, jewelry makers must comply with it. California's Proposition 65, which requires warning labels on any products that contain toxic materials, affects all jewelry makers who work in or ship to California. The California Lead-Containing Jewelry Law In 2009 California passed a Lead-Containing Jewelry Law to protect children from jewelry containing high amounts of lead—the amount of lead varies depending on the type of material. The law also restricts use of any part with more than 3% cadmium (300 parts per million). California's law breaks materials into three classes. No jewelry, for children or adults, may be manufactured in, sold in, offered for promotional purposes, or shipped to California that does not exclusively use materials from one or more of their three classes. Class 1 materials are precious metals (gold, silver, etc.) stainless or surgical steel, natural or cultured pearls, most but not all gemstones, natural decorative materials such as shell, wood and leather provided they have not been treated in a way that adds lead, adhesives, and "glass, ceramic, or crystal decorative components, including cat's eye, cubic zirconia . . ., rhinestones and cloisonné." There are additional restrictions for children's jewelry that craftspeople should check out. BellaOnLine has an excellent summary of this law as it relates to children's jewelry. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art24173.asp Class 2 materials include electroplated metal with less than 6% lead by weight, unplated metals with less than 1.5% lead, plastic or rubber including beads and stones that contain less than 2% lead by weight and have a dye or surface coating with less than 6% lead by weight. A Class 3 material is any part of a piece of jewelry that's not a Class 1 or 2 material and that contains less than 6% lead by weight, including watch timepieces. The State of California has an on-line fact sheet that explains the law in detail. http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/Jewelry/upload/jewelry-fact-sheet-052710.pdf While many beading materials fall within one of the three classes of acceptable materials, it's a good idea for jewelry makers to know the law and then check with their suppliers. We asked a representative of the California Dept. of Toxic Substances Control if jewelry suppliers and retailers are required by law to warn customers that jewelry parts may not meet legal standards for children's jewelry. The answer is "no." However, manufacturers and suppliers who sell to retailers are required to include a certificate stating that their products do comply with levels of cadmium and lead under the law. The certificate can either be displayed prominently in jewelry packaging or in the shipping container. This means that no one selling jewelry or jewelry making supplies in the State of California should be selling products that don't comply with the law. As far as the individual beader or jewelry maker is concerned, unless the package containing jewelry making materials has a children's age warning somewhere on it, as do many products from Hobby Lobby, it's up the customer to ask whether the items they're buying are okay for use in children's jewelry. California Proposition 65 Proposition 65 requires businesses that employ 10 or more people to include warning labels on products containing lead or chemicals known to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. Anyone making beaded jewelry who has less than 10 employees doesn't need to put warning labels on their products. However, if you sell to a store or distributor with 10 or more employees, it's likely that you'll need to include the warning. Chris Franchetti Michaels points out in her BellaOnLine article that, as a beader, it's wise to let your customers know in an honest and personal way that the beads you use do contain some lead, and should not be given to children as gifts, nor should children be allowed to play with them. It's also a good idea to include pets in the warning although no current law mentions them, since dogs and cats will chew on things they find lying around. Canadian Hazardous Products Act Most countries in the world have laws covering toxic materials, particularly in children's products. Anyone who sells beaded jewelry on-line should be aware of laws in the countries where they do business, whether they use Etsy, eBay or have their own web site. Canada is right next door and, with the U.S./Canadian free trade agreement, it's logical to sell to our neighbors. Item 42 of the Canadian Hazardous Products Act went into effect in 2008. Glass and crystal jewelry parts are specifically named in the law. It prohibits the importation, advertisement or sale of any jewelry intended for children under age 15 that contains more than 600 mg/kg of total lead and more than 90 mg/kg of migratable lead. "Migratable lead" is the amount of lead which is released from a product when it is brought into contact with a liquid solvent. It's also important to note the age Canada defines as a "child." Last year, Canada Health announced a ban on cadmium in children's jewelry, restricting the level of cadmium to .013%. To read Item 42 of the Hazardous Products Act: http://hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pubs/indust/jewellery-bijoux/index-eng.php. The European Union's Toy Safety Directive In 2009 the EU strengthened existing laws on child safety. "Child" is defined by the new directive as anyone under the age of 14, which is two years older than the CPSIA's definition. Although the law is called the Toy Safety Directive, it includes "gray area" products such as items for collectors, historical replicas and "fashion accessories which are not used in play." Beaded jewelry and clothing adornments fall into this category. Strict limits are put on the amount of nickel in children's products and no intentionally used lead is permitted. Since many of the glass beads used in beadwork come from EU countries, the manufacturers need to comply with EU laws, but that only means they consider the beads safe for adults. For more information on the Toy Safety Directive use this link: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/toys/files/factsheets/scope_of_toy_safety_directive_en.pdf Conclusions These laws make it difficult for beaders and jewelry makers because of the need to make sure all of their materials comply with various laws. For children's jewelry, the CPSIA should be the baseline. Jewelry intended for adults can include beads and findings that are not legal for children's jewelry, but it's a good idea to keep California's Lead-Containing Jewelry Law in mind. As things now stand, the burden of determining if jewelry making materials meet California's standards for children is on the jewelry maker--not on the supplier or retailer. If you sell outside the United States it's essential to read the laws of the country you're exporting to, because they're different from ours. If you sell at craft fairs, flea markets or on-line, there may be no way of knowing where the buyer lives or who they're buying for. Native beaders who sell a variety of beadwork at craft fairs should rethink offering beaded children's items such as baby mocs and baby barrettes. It's now illegal to sell any beaded jewelry for children under age 3 except jewelry using large pieces of material meeting the size requirement that have 1% or less lead content. Common sense can help avoid problems and law suits. If you design for adults and suspect someone is buying for a child, gently tell them that the beaded item is not intended for children under a certain age and can be harmful.
18. June 2012 09:13 by Lynne 0 Comments The Best of the Best--The Story of Charlotte Beads 18. June 2012 09:13 by Lynne | 0 Comments TweetShareby J-Me and Guy of Wild Things Beads Charlotte cut seed beads are the Cadillac of seed beads, the one cut facet making them sparkle and shimmer. Considering how popular they are, they are very hard to get in any form of consistency, and beaders who know, buy them whenever they can, and keep their sources secret. According to Peter Francis, Jr. Charlotte cuts were first used in 1847 in France, for the garment trade. Although Peter doesn't know the origins of the name, in a recent letter to Bead and Button magazine by Elliot Greene of New York, Elliot states the name was attributed to his daughter. Elliot Green is an importer of Czech glass beads, and one of only a small handful of importers of charlotte cut seed beads. Seed beads have been made for centuries, in Italy, France, and Bohemia; according to Peter Francis, Jr., the beads were made in Venice and Lyon, then sent to Bohemia for faceting. Seed beads are no longer made in Italy, and France. The only European seed bead manufacturer now in existence is in the Czech Republic. The factory is Ornela, located outside of Jablonec nad Nisou, where most of the Czech glass bead industry is located. Ornela is the world's largest seed bead factory. Having said that, charlottes are almost impossible to get, and most bead stores are always in short supply, as are the few importers who carry them. Why this is the case is a mystery, because charlottes are very popular. Charlottes were originally only made in size 13/0, but then 11/0 were made, and now charlottes are available in 15/0, 8/0 and 6/0. Because technically only 13/0 are charlottes, all the rest, (11/0, 15/0, 8/0 and 6/0) are called one cuts or true cuts. But if you are not a purist…then charlottes are really what they are called. Charlottes are made in many colors of glass, and some are made with different lusters and coatings. Some of the most desirable charlottes on the market today are the precious metal charlottes such as 24 kt gold, sterling silver, copper and marcasite. However, buyers should be aware that there are two varieties of the precious metal charlottes – the painted (galvanized) seed beads and the baked on ones. The painted charlottes are much less expensive than the baked on ones, are not as bright, and the color comes off almost immediately upon contact, leaving the core base of crystal or alabaster showing through. Needless to say, this will ruin a project you would be doing. The baked on charlottes are quite a lot more expensive, but the coating will last much longer, if not indefinitely. Some beaders have reported that the coating will come off where repeated contact with other beads or metal findings rubs against the charlotte cut. Also, wearing your jewelry with these coated charlottes in the hot tub or pool will cause the coating to fade. But if you treat your beads with care, they will last a long time. J-Me Lynn of Wild Things Beads has been creating this fancy anklet for over 35 years with various types of charlottes. In response to the need for charlottes, Japan has entered the market as well, with Toho offering 12/0 and 15/0 charlottes. Unfortunately, they are only available loose. In a recent comparison of Toho charlottes and Czech charlottes, the Japanese charlottes are not the same size. The Toho are larger. (Size 15/0 are really a 14/0). As of July 3, 2005, the first shipment of 11/0 gold and silver charlottes arrived in our warehouse, along with 13/0 gold, in the 1/8 kilo bundles. There are approximately 19 hanks in the 13/0 bundles, and 11 hanks in the 11/0 bundles. The quality is exactly the same. As previously mentioned, Elliot Greene of New York is one importer of charlotte cuts, but only carries 13/0. Other importers are: York Novelties of New York, who carries 13/0, 15/0 (but only loose), 11/0 and 8/0, Shipwreck Beads of Washington, who carries 13/0, Buy-Lines of Los Angeles, who carries 13/0, John Bead of Canada, who only carries a small amount of 13/0, and Wild Things Beads of Penn Valley, California. We carry 15/0, 13/0, 11/0, 8/0 and 6/0, depending on supply from the factory. © 5/31/05 – updated 10/13/06 This is a shortened version of J-Me and Guy's original article reproduced with their permission. To read more go to: http://www.wildthingsbeads.com/article-ccsb.html Wild Things Beads is an American wholesale importer of glass beads, buttons and crystal prisms manufactured in the Czech Republic and Germany, supplying bead stores and the costume jewelry industry. They also have a website http://www.wildthingsbeads.com/index.html where you can find heaps of wonderful information about beads from all over the world. Wholesale customers with tax ID numbers can order beads on-line. In the near future Wild Things Beads plans to have a retail website. If you're interested in being put on their retail list, send J-Me an email by going to their home page. Specializing in the more exotic colors and coatings, Wild Things offers charlottes in 24 kt gold, sterling silver and marcasite, metallic chocolate bronze, green with a bronze luster, amethyst with a bronze luster and, cobalt blue with a bronze luster. These coatings look bronze when you hold them down, but when you hold them up to the light they become transparent green, purple, or blue. Wild Things Beads have been in business since 1982, starting off in the arts and crafts industry, selling at flea markets, craft fairs, church fetes, art shows, and Quartzsite, Arizona before specializing in glass beads, first as a retail establishment, then in 1998 as an import house.The owners are Jamie and Guy Lynn, a wife and husband team. Both were in corporate employment during the beginning days of Wild Things Beads.

As the Yankees head into an early offseason, I'm fairly certain about a grand total of seven roster spots for next season. Two everyday positions seem to be set for next year - Mark Teixeira at first base (and he comes with a "missed virtually the entire previous season" asterisk) and Brett Gardner in center field. On the pitching staff, I think two rotation spots are set - CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova. In the bullpen, I'm confident predicting that three spots are already spoken for - David Robertson, Adam Warren and Preston Claiborne. That's an awful lot of uncertainty heading into next season, and they haven't done much this season to help themselves sort through things. Yes, I'm hoping against precedent that the Yankees will see Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells for the sunk costs they are and dump them. I started off preferring that if they are both on the roster next year, they'll used in some sort of platoon. However, looking at their lefty-righty and first half-second half splits, that seems unlikely, in addition to unwise. Both have been equally useless in the second half: Ichiro is hitting .223/.256/.259 in 273 plate appearances since the All-Star break. In 346 PAs since May 1, Wells is hitting a nearly identical .222/.263/.306. Furthermore, neither of them have much of a positive platoon split to exploit, and have not since 2011.
Ichiro | OPS vs LHP | OPS vs RHP |
2011 | 0.648 | 0.644 |
2012 | 0.649 | 0.724 |
2013 | 0.757 | 0.586 |
Wells | OPS vs LHP | OPS vs RHP |
2011 | 0.851 | 0.659 |
2012 | 0.671 | 0.686 |
2013 | 0.720 | 0.587 |
If you think either of them has a respectable OPS against lefties this year, it's only in comparison to their other splits the last two seasons. I can't think of a single baseball reason (as opposed to a contractual reason) to keep either of them on the roster next year.

Jennifer Aniston: 'I Used To Eat Like S--t'
Jennifer Aniston used to poison herself with unhealthy food.
The clean-living actress - who recently revealed she detoxed for days after gorging on a hamburger - wasn't always so health-conscious and claims she used to treat her body like "s**t".
Speaking on French TV show '50 MN INSIDE' on TF1, she confessed: "I used to eat like s**t, I didn't sleep. You overestimate yourself so much when you're young because we think we're invincible. I honestly didn't even drink water, only sodas, I just didn't take that good care of myself."
Jennifer, 44, and her fiancé Justin Theroux, 42, have been plagued with wedding rumors since they first got together while filming Wanderlust in 2010, and pregnancy speculation has only increased since the 'Friends' star announced her engagement to the actor.
Asked whether her friends frequently call her, excited she may be pregnant or about to marry, she replied: "Yeah, that's happened. Even my family. They say, 'Did you go off and get married?' or 'Have you really had your 900th child?' or 'Are you planning a wedding party and you haven't invited me?'"
Jennifer has come up with a fail safe way to avoid getting caught up in the media attention.
She said: "[I have] a really great support group of friends and family back home. I surrounded myself with what's real."

The tortilla adds a delicious crunchy shell and it smells so good while it is cooking. I actually made up this recipe from items in my kitchen and couldn't believe how wonderful it tasted! It is now a hit in my family and so EASY to make. Please rate and give feedback. Update: Since I first made this five years ago, we still enjoy this at least once a month. I have found that I can alternate the ingredients to use up items I have in the fridge. I have used mushrooms, sauteed onions, cherry tomatoes and even feta cheese instead of cheddar cheese. And it always comes out fantastic. I have also found that there are times I need to use more or less eggs depending on the ingredients. Also, a glass pie pan is so much better than a metal as it toasts the tortilla just right. Such an easy recipe with gourmet taste!

iTunes 11 doesn't scroll in Device -> TV Shows [SOLVED]
Hi there,
I am trying to sync TV shows onto either my iPhone or iPad with iTunes 11. When I go to the device in iTunes and select TV shows, iTunes will not allow me to scroll through the list of shows in the lefthand column. Every time I try to scroll down, the list bounces back to the top. Also the scroll bar is not appearing on the side of that column. Anyone else seeing this behavior? Any solutions? Thanks! ************ Solved...the entire window scrolls instead of the columns...that cannot be right! Last edited by parkds; Nov 29, 2012 at 04:48 PM. |

Overview of Research:
I am involved in research using satellite remote sensing, image processing, and global positioning systems (GPS) for a variety of geologic and environmental applications. Remotely sensed data provide a unique way to view the earth's surface and the associated geologic and environmental processes. Satellite imagery provides a synoptic overview at scales not available through field work or conventional airphotos. The ability to image the earth at infrared wavelengths allows for spectral contrasts and discrimination beyond the visible; and the digital nature of satellite remotely sensed data allows for computer enhancements. Specific geologic research has focused on petroleum exploration in the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming; mineral exploration in the Pacific Northwest, Pakistan, and Brasil; and lithologic mapping in Greenland and India. More recently, the attention of the laboratory has turned to environmental projects in northern New England, including mapping of the clear-cutting history and ecotones related to biodiversity in the Northern Forest Lands and alpine tundra mapping in the above-tree-line areas of the Presidential range to develop indicators of possible global climate change.

- Reduced Sensivity During Sex Video
Sexual health expert Dr. Catherine Hood answers a question on reduced sensitivity during sex in the company of Emma Howard.
Read the full transcript »
Emma Howard: Hello! We are answering questions on sexual health. I am joined by Dr. Dr. Catherine Hood. Hello Catherine! Dr. Catherine Hood: Hello! Emma Howard: Got a question here from a 55-year-old woman who says she is still active, sexually active with her husband but she has been experiencing reduced sensitivity during sex and she wants to know if there is anything she can do stop this from getting less. I wondered what she meant by reduced sensitivity. Dr. Catherine Hood: Yeah, it can mean various things counted. I mean I think given her age is 55, the chances are she is either around the age of the menopause or she has already gone through the menopause and there are several things that can happen around that time and several things that can happen just with aging. I think the first thing is the pelvis has a muscle in it that goes from front to back, it's called the pubococcygeus or the pelvic floor muscle. Most women will be aware of this if you have had children because they're told to exercise and lighten afterwards. Emma Howard: And we never do it as much as we should. Dr. Catherine Hood: Exactly. And this can mean, as you get older, that muscle gets a little bit flappy and a little bit lax. Now the thing is that vagina goes through that muscle and so if the muscle gets really lax, it means that the vaginal tone goes down and you can't feel quite as much as perhaps you used to. But the good news is you can actually tone up that muscle quite easily by doing some what are called Kegel exercises or pelvic floor muscle exercises. Emma Howard: And you can do those anywhere, can't you? Dr. Catherine Hood: Absolutely! You don't have to put any a caterer or anything. Emma Howard: And nobody knows you are doing them. Dr. Catherine Hood: Very discrete as well. All you need to do is to clench the muscles in your pelvis. It's a bit light trying to stop yourself going to the loo and you hold for about five seconds and then you let it go. If you do that ten times and do the cycle of ten three times a day, you will soon start to feel those muscles much more, it might be hard to feel them to begin with but after a while you'll notice the difference. Emma Howard: Now, you shouldn't be doing that while you are in the loo, should you? Dr. Catherine Hood: No, you should just let yourself go to the loo because you can get yourself a urine infection if you are just holding urine back but doing it at other times, even if you are at work, you can sit and do them. Emma Howard: Or on the bus, people say. The problem is because you never mentioned doing them, maybe you are just giving your hard time if you don't them. That's only you and actually, you have to drive yourself to do it. Is there anything else that she should be concerned about or check out? Dr. Catherine Hood: I think as when we get older particularly after the menopause as well, it can be harder to become aroused and this maybe what she is driving out as well. The Kegel exercises will help with that as well because they increase the blood flow to the genital area. But there are other things. If the husband is or the partner is a little bit quick to the chase, I would say, hold back and spend a bit more time on foreplay because sexual stimulation can just -- you need a little bit more to get aroused as you get older. Emma Howard: Take that bit longer. Dr. Catherine Hood: And to lubricate. So take a little longer on foreplay before getting into penetration. There are other things that can help with the feel. Another one is that you can get lubricants now which contain a warming ingredient which help to again to increase the sensitivity in the vaginal area. Emma Howard: Catherine, very good advice. Thank you very much indeed. Well, if you have a similar problem, we hope it might have given you some help, but remember, it's always best to go and see your own doctor for medical advice. Thanks for watching, we'll be back with more health questions and answers.

How to save passwords for all Web sites in Safari
With the myriad of online services that require password protection, password management in your Web browser has become a practically essential service. Most browsers, including Apple's Safari browser for OS X, have some form of password management built-in, and when you visit a site that requests authentication, the browser should prompt you to save the entered credentials. However, some Web sites may be specifically built so browsers will not store passwords.
