Urbanears intros Slussen DJ adapter + app
Urbanears has introduced Slussen ($15), a stylish-looking portable DJ adapter with a free companion app. Slussen plugs into an iOS device, using two 3.5mm jacks to connect headphones and a sound system. Upon launching the app, users can hear one song through headphones while another is playing through the speaker. The app allows music to be controlled in a number of ways, by adjusting BPM, syncing tracks, and EQ effects; a scratch function, crossfaders, and equalizer are also included.
Slussen comes ready for keychain attachment. Available now, it comes in four colors — grape, pumpkin, petrol, and tomato — with the tomato version priced at $20.

West Coast rapper Game's appearance and speculated role in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V video game has started to intensify with new cover art circulating online.
Although fan-made, the rap star's return to the popular Rockstar Games franchise is clearly expressed in the new promo art.
The GTA 5 release date for Xbox 360 and PS3 is fast approaching. Rocksta rhas confirmed the game's launch for spring 2013, and the latest rumor is that rapper "The Game" may show up to the next "Grand Theft Auto" party. Will "The Game" play a feature role when the GTA 5 release date arrives. We can't say anything for sure, but some new fan art released by the Money Gang Facebook page. What role will "The Game" play in GTA 5 when the release date arrives? Well we already know that "The Alchemist" has been brought on to compose a soundtrack that will play during missions. However, it's possible that "The Game" could be featured in the GTA 5 soundtrack. It's also possible that either the rapper of all of "Money Gang" may get their own "Grand Theft Auto" radio station. (iDigital Times)
Recently, fellow West Coast hip-hop artist Alchemist got latched to the game.
A returning rapper may be composing an original music score for the upcoming multiplatform title, "GTA 5." According to a report by Pinoy Tutorial today, Alan Daniel Maman, who goes by the stage name of Alchemist, posted a message on Twitter (that has since been deleted) revealing that he will be working with Rockstar Games to make a new song specifically for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 video game. The rapper's music tracks previously appeared in "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars." (Examiner)
Back in November, Game reportedly confirmed his return to the popular franchise.
For those of you that remember "B-Dup" from "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," you may have realized that this character was voiced by rapper, "The Game." On Nov. 5, "The Game" was interviewed by Studio 96, in which he revealed some interesting information regarding "GTA 5 ," which is shown in the slide-show above. When asked if he would be appearing in the upcoming "GTA 5," he confirmed that he has done work on the game with Rockstar. This confirms that we will definitely see at least one character return from "San Andreas" in "GTA 5." (Examiner)
In 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, he played the character "Mark 'B-Dup' Wayne."
OG B-Dup recently (and suspiciously) moved out of his Ganton home and into Glen Park – Balla territory. Rumours suggest that he has drifted apart from gang banging and into "other activies." Allegations of false imprisonment and kidnapping of friends persist. Often seen alongside Barry "Big Bear" Thorne, whom he has drugged up. B-Dup is voiced by Jayceon Taylor, who is nicknamed "The Game". The Game was born into a life of gang-banging and hustling – his father being a Nutty Block Crip and his mother a Hoover Crippelette. He recalls seeing his parents preparing to do drive-by's. (GTA San Andreas)

I've never tried it. As much as the idea of eating snails weirds me out I'd still really love to try them. I live it a regional area and getting decent cheese or coffee is difficult enough. A French restaurant let alone one serving escargot...not going to happen!

I would try them, but I'm worried I would hate the texture. That's why I don't eat a lot of shellfish, and snails are shell-dwellers as well.

Never had it, but I'm fairly certain just about anything would taste pretty good drenched in butter and garlic and breadcrumbs.

I like them without the breadcrumbs, but with bread served on the side, so then you can dip the good crusty baguette into the garlicky butter. It's the only time I ever eat butter. SO GOOD.

The forint slid from its strongest in two weeks against the euro and Hungarian bonds fell amid speculation the European Union's most-indebted eastern member may struggle to get International Monetary Fund support.
The Hungarian currency lost 0.6 percent to 305.69 per euro by 11:32 a.m. in Budapest, snapping a 4.2 percent gain in the previous four days. The yield on government debt due in 2017 rose two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 8.308 percent.
Hungary, which received an IMF-led bailout in 2008, is seeking renewed talks with the fund, the Economy Ministry said on Nov. 17, sending the forint and bonds rallying. The move may help the country avoid losing its investment-grade credit rating, central banker Ferenc Gerhardt told ATV channel yesterday.
"We are still of the view that one of the three main rating agencies will downgrade Hungary by the end of the year," BNP Paribas SA strategists led by London-based Bartosz Pawlowski said in a report today. The deal will take a long time before "being finalized as it is likely to involve conditions that the Hungarian government might be reluctant to fulfill at first," they said.
Global stocks fell and most emerging-market currencies slid as an impasse on U.S. budget cuts raised speculation the world's largest economy may face another credit downgrade and data signaled faltering economic growth from Japan to Singapore.
"One of the most important reasons why central and eastern European currencies are weak is the bleak eurozone growth outlook, and that won't change anytime soon," Pawlowski and colleagues wrote.
An IMF team in Hungary, which was in the country for a regular Article IV review, will cut short its visit and return to Washington D.C. to discuss Hungary's financial assistance request with the lender's management, Managing Director Christine Lagarde said.

Blues coach rates Reds showdown as a quarter-final
May 11, 2000
Auckland Blues coach, Gordon Hunter, is looking on his side's clash against the Reds at Ballymore in Brisbane on Saturday night as a quarter-final.
Hunter said this morning that the Blues were in a must-win situation to progress further in the Super 12 competition.
"In my opinion, if we can't win then we don't deserve to be in the semi-finals," he said.
The coach emphasised that no attention had been given to losses in Super 12
"That means zip to this group of players," he said. "I love going to Ballymore and the team is positive about it. We are looking forward to it.
"We have great respect for our opponents. They played a huge game against the Brumbies in the last round and they are in very good form."
Hunter said Justin Collins had come back into the team as a specialist
Eroni Clarke at centre will have a significant role against the Reds'
Blues captain, Robin Brooke, said the team would target the win and four
"But we cannot be too conservative," he said. "We have to go out and get on with it from the start, and we will, otherwise the game might drift away from us."

Learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder Referral Guide
Instructors, counselors, and other college staff often ask about what to look for before referring students with possible learning disabilities or attention deficit disorder. The brief checklist of characteristics which follows may be of assistance.
Keep in mind that, according to the Title V regulations that govern the California Community Colleges, a learning disability is a persistent condition that affects adults with average to above average intellectual ability. In spite of this ability, these individuals experience severe discrepancies between aptitude and achievement as a result of a severe processing deficit.
LD Characteristics
- Difficulty with comprehension and retention of material that is read
- Errors in spelling, grammar and sentence structure in written work that are inconsistent with the student's oral language
- Difficulty understanding verbal instructions in spite of the fact that the student's primary language is English
- Difficulty with multiplication, division, fractions, and word problems
- Poor grades on exams inconsistent with the student's apparent understanding of the material and participation in class
ADD or ADHD Characteristics
- Extreme difficulty with organization and time management. The student is often late, loses handouts, or forgets assignments
- Difficulty following lectures. The student is easily distracted or seems to drift off
- A tendency to be impulsive. The student blurts out answers, talks too much, does not follow directions
- A pattern of procrastination. The student is late with assignments, rushed, or under prepared.
- Difficulty organizing thoughts in writing even though the student has lots of good ideas

The Good News, The Bad News, and The Good NewsI
Well, I have good news, bad news, and then good news. I'll do them in that order, a sort of good news sandwich. The good news is my photography business, Pamela Greer Photography is doing amazing! I am so busy that I am turning people away! See the above photo, that was an engagement session from Friday night. Since that time, I did a wedding on Saturday and a family session on Sunday! I have 300+ photos to edit before a senior session tomorrow!
As you can imagine, I do not have much time to cook. Even if I did cook something, I don't have to time to edit the photos or wax poetically about said meal on here. So, I am taking a blogging vacation! I know! I think in the past seven years I have taken a total of two weeks off. But now, something had to give and it is blogging. Oh, I'll still take breaks here and there and try and visit your blogs and still be somewhat present. But I don't think I will be blogging again until the week of Thanksgiving! Why so long? That brings me to the final good news!
In the midst of all this, we are going to California!!! My stepson is getting married in Los Angeles and since we we will be flying clear across the country, we thought we should stay awhile! So, we will be spending about 10 days working our way through wine country! I will have my weekend wine reviews covered probably through 2015! I am so excited, except for the whole flying part. I hate to fly. But let's not think about that!
So, I will see you all back here at the end of November! But don't worry, I will be visiting your blogs when I can, and this would be a great time to follow me on Instagram @pamgreer if you'd like to see photos of wine being drunk in gorgeous California!
I miss you already!

Urban farming and self-sufficiency
Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I think Lalitanatha's idea of urban farming is very relevant in those countries that have no existing farm (yet).
Many devotees have no idea how to grow anything, and still they feel they should. If we want a farm community to manifest somehow, WE have to manifest it, and the best way to start is right here and now.
Using whatever space one has for any small agriculture will prove to oneself and to others that the person is really interested in farming. That is a good basis for bigger plans.
We can not expect that the local GBC just comes and does some trick and booom! there's the farm. All the devotees should take responsibility. It is a sign for the GBC secretary also.

Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thank you for your very nice article.
I have been following this topic for some time and am interested in it.
I have also been wondering how far city people have drifted from natural life. Still I believe that there is a dream living in many city devotee's minds about more natural life. The question is how on earth to get there?!
The gap between city and countryside is big. I think your ideas and thoughts are very usable. Making one's life more natural begins here and now, not in distant utopian future. If one thinks that 'I have to change everything and move to a farm' (which doesn't even exist) , that kind of idea is sure to never come true.
Growing one's own flowers in the balcony and herbs on the window sill is small thing, but it is a beginning of the journey to nature. Too big unrealistic plans just paralyze people. The path begins with the first step. Without first step there is no second step.
I also recommend everyone to grow sprouts. That is very economical, green and healthy thing to do. Even in the winter. These kind of green activities give confidence and help devotees to understand their realistic potential.
With best regards, your servant Astasakhi dd

Interview with Chair of the Committee on Succession and Leadership

Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble obeisances.
I would like to thank HH Bhakti Vijnana Swami for bringing this important issue out.
I would also like to add some down to earth points to this interesting subject matter:
Leadership/management is a very important thing. It should not be belittled. It should be noted if we want this Krishna movement to move. Srila Prabhupada wanted devotees to become leaders of the society. The fact is : Future leaders must be trained. Who will do that? Is it better that competent devotees do it or should it be left to professional trainers who don't understand the devotional aspect?
The association of devotees is very inspiring. We have many skillful devotees in our movement who will give excellent training, who have leadership/management skills, psychological talent and experience in councelling others in various fields. It is a great chance for them to help the devotee community.
The world is also full of good written material on the issue. We can use that and don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Compared to internet self-study, the academy format as suggested is personal. It is also very motivating and effective, the best way to learn. No one can learn just by reading the books. Why not just send nice cook books to every Iskcon center and expect them to soon have excellent cooks? Why to attend seminars on Srila Prabhupada's books, is it not enough to read them by yourself? It is the same logic with leadership, and especially leadership!
Studying in an academic environment is a synergic process (ie. a synergic group achieves exponentially better results than an individual), and as such a worthy lesson itself for those who wish to learn about effective leadership.
Very many temple presidents and commanders are in the need of leadership training. How could they train others in that situation? Of course after some good training they can possibly share their knowledge in their local temple/asram.
Basically what you learn in the temple is about the sastras, puja and book distribution. This content varies a lot in different countries. The list of what you don't get to know in the temple/asram also varies in different places: Cow protection, farming, bhaktivriksa program, cooking, yajnas… and practically devotees interested in these things do go somewhere else to study. Why to expect every temple to run a leadership program? It is utopian.
At last a comment on 'who is chosen to go there': I believe that those interested in the subject matter will apply for the study by themselves.
I am hoping all the good luck for the project and waiting for applying for the course!
Your servant
housewife manager

It looks like the Hunter-Johnson Band is going to go through a re-boot of sorts..we're shuffling some things around, and we should be making an announcement shortly..stay tuned.
Wow...what a wild ride it's been so far. The show we played in November at the Lakeridge Winery in Clermont, FL was a ROUSING success, and all we're doing now is waiting for the recordings we did all 3 days to get mastered. Once that's done, Baby Blues will release the live album....I can hardly wait!!

The Most Stylish Films of 2012
Another year, another bounty of sartorial inspiration from the silver screen. Here, the winners of GQ's 2012 Style Oscars
Best Fantasy Wardrobe: Django Unchained
We're reasonably sure that nobody dressed like this in the 1850s (feel free to fact-check us, Internet), but Tarantino's spaghetti western tribute looks all the more terrific for it. From Django (Jamie Foxx) himself celebrating his new-found freedom through some truly liberated duds, to bloodthirsty slave owner Calvin Candie's (Leonardo DiCaprio) antebellum smoking jacket, the whole ensemble is like an idealized Levi's catalog, the American frontier rendered into Technicolor and hyperbole. You'll wish your duds looked as sharp as all that stylized violence.

Checking out ChipotleApril 19th, 2004 , by admin
The current fad restaurant at our daughter's school is a burrito restaurant called Chipotle. My daughter has been eager to go there, so today after church we tried it, and found it to be remarkably Blood Type friendly.
There are only three menu items: burritos, tacos, and bowls. For a Type O the choice was easy. The burritos and the tacos had grains I must avoid, so I chose a bowl.
A server then adds to your bowl (or burrito or taco) only the ingredients that you want.
I chose grilled steak and romaine lettuce, both beneficial for an O. I also chose rice and black beans, both neutrals. I passed on the sauces because I wasn't sure what was in them.
My Type A husband also got a bowl. He selected rice, black beans (beneficial for him) romaine lettuce, and guacamole. My Type A daughter got a burrito with pinto beans (beneficial for her) and chicken.
The portions were generous, so we all had plenty to eat. It was a unique idea and a very enjoyable lunch
The Bible and VegetarianismApril 17th, 2004 , by admin
One line in Mike's blog on famous quotes about the treatment of animals and eating meat sent me off on a search of my Bible this morning.
When people quote the Ten Commandments, they usually quote the King James Version which translates the words "Thou shalt not kill." Any modern language translation done by Christians or Jews translates it this way: You shall not murder. Exodus 20:13.
This verse has been incorrectly used as an argument against capital punishment and for vegetarianism. It has nothing to do with either issue. It is a commandment against murder.
The verse I relied on during my "health nut" days when everything I read urged me to become a vegetarian was this:
1 Timothy 4:3
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
I knew I felt bad and got sick every time I took meat out of my diet. Back then this verse confirmed to me that those who said everyone should be a vegetarian were false teachers. Now that I understand the blood type diet, I can see how God designed some of us to thrive on meat and some of us to thrive on vegetarianism. As the end of that verse says, it's important to know the truth.
I did a scripture search this morning and came up with a few other verses for Type Os who are made to feel guilty about eating meat.
Genesis 9:3
Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
Romans 14:6-8
He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Moses ate lamb at the Passover and ate quail that was miraculously provided by God. Jesus ate fish and lamb and told a story about eating "the fatted calf".
Combining work and workoutApril 15th, 2004 , by admin
I'm busy just like you. Today I had paper work to do in the morning plus laundry and mowing the yard. I had an appointment at 11:15, and I needed to get to school early to prepare for my journalism students. My daughter had a dentist appointment right after school, and then we had to photograph a tennis tournament.
I was trying to think creatively, but it was going to be hard to fit exercise into the schedule. I strapped on my ankle weights, 1.5 pounds each, and started the lawn mower. Our yard is not totally flat, and our lawn mower is not self propelled. Before I had finished half the front my heart rate was up and I was breathing hard. By the time I finished the back, I had probably gotten a better workout than I do when I run.
This came from Reader's Digest:
Did you hear about the sword swallower who was on a diet? He was on pins and needles for six weeks.
Do you want fries with that?April 14th, 2004 , by admin
Two more new veggies and I'll be caught up. These are two of my favorite discoveries, but they have not been popular with my family.
One day I was looking for unfamiliar foods in the produce department and saw a sign for Mexican potatoes. A closer look found the word Jicama on a label of a furry looking vegetable. The ER4YT data base listed it as a neutral. My vegetable guide said if it was eaten raw it was like water chestnuts; if it was cooked it was like oven fries. I hadn't had French fries since last summer, and oven fries sounded really good. My daughter and I think these are delicious. My husband and son say "no thanks." She, like me, has made the decision to stop eating potatoes. My husband and son both know that potatoes are avoids, but will still order a value meal at a fast food restaurant. My theory is that the longer you go without "real" French Fries, the better the Jicima fries taste.
When I noticed parsnips were beneficial to Type Os and Type As, I set out to find some. I asked a young man working in the produce department if he had any parsnips, and he gave me a totally blank look. He checked his vegetable guide and said, "Oh, you mean white carrots. That's what most people call them." While he went to get some, I saw that his guide said they were good with maple syrup. That first night I cooked them in the pressure cooker. They were really soft and by the time I stirred in maple syrup and butter, they looked liked mashed potatoes. I told the family they were parsnips, not mashed potatoes, but no one really liked them (was it the taste or the way they looked?). I still had half a bag left, so a few days later I sliced them and steamed them until they were barely soft. I tossed them with maple syrup and butter and they were delicious. The family has tried them fixed the new way, and still does not care for them. I fix them for myself at least once a week. I can't get enough. They are high in potassium; maybe my body needs more potassium right now. It is a bit of a disappointment that my enthusiasm for parsnips is not shared by anyone in my house.
Eat Meat, Not WheatApril 13th, 2004 , by admin
As I was driving my son to meet his ride back to college, we were talking about dorm food. They have two types of dining halls: traditional cafeterias and newly renovated food courts. The food courts are the most popular with the students. I was warning him about the food courts because of all the wheat in the sandwiches and pastas that are served there.
He said that he had been eating breakfast and dinner in the cafeterias. He usually has eggs and fruit for breakfast and lots of vegetables and salad for dinner. He does, however, like meeting friends for lunch in the food courts. He said, "Don't worry Mom; I really don't eat a lot of wheat. I have a motto: Eat Meat, Not Wheat."
There it is - Type O basics in four words. Then we were at his roommate's house, hugging and saying good bye.
For those of you who have little children at home, I would say three words, "Treasure each day." You have no idea how quickly those little ones will grow up. I have watched friends wish their children's childhood away saying, "I can't wait until he sleeps through the night." "I can't wait until she can talk and I don't have to guess what she wants." I can't wait until he can walk and I don't have to carry him everywhere." "I can't wait until she starts school so I can have a minute of peace and quiet." I can't wait until he can drive so I don't have to take him to soccer practice and music lessons." Suddenly they're grown up and packing their bags.
Share the adventure with your toddlers and preschoolers as they explore their world. Be there when they say their first words and take their first steps. Listen to the stories they tell and answer all their questions. Delight in their smiles and their joy. Those will be the memories you treasure as they wave good bye and drive away.

Llyn Strong hosts a gem party at llyn strong fine jewelry. The gallery and studio has been a fixture on Main Street since the 1980s. / Heidi Heilbrunn/Staff
Llyn Strong got her first tattoo at the age of 42. She likes chili dogs and Fritos with her pimento cheese. And she has always been shy, although you�d never know this from watching her command a room of 22 people at a recent gem roundtable at her downtown gallery.
�How is everybody this evening?� Strong booms.
Unable to gather the room�s attention, the petite jewelry designer and local entrepreneur sticks her two pinkie fingers in her mouth and blows. The room grows quiet.
�My cousins from Nantucket taught me,� Strong says with a laugh. �Took me two weeks. I got it lying in bed one night.�
The new trend in jewelry showcases, like the one this night, brings a hand-picked group of customers together with a gem dealer who educates them about the nuances and characteristics of each stone. The store owner provides the wine and food and emcees the evening.
Customers can �dib� on gems to look at them more closely, and then they can buy if they desire.
When Strong�s friend suggested she take this step in her business, Strong laughed.
�It just sounded so hokey,� Strong says. �I mean, I was like, I can�t say that dibbing is like flirting with a stone and if you want to marry it, you can take it home.�
Strong has never been one to blindly follow trends, but after surviving, though with some anxiety, the down economy, she�s realized you have to pick your battles. So last year she jumped on the bandwagon, and she hasn�t looked back. Change is a necessary part of success.
�I never wanted to be a starving artist; I knew that from the beginning,� Strong says. �I really like pretty things, unfortunately.�
Change is but one lesson Strong has picked up over her 23 years in the business. Adapting when necessary is one reason she�s been able to make it in the heart of a growing downtown Greenville, even as others have fallen.
�To survive that long is a significant achievement for any small business,� says Hank Hyatt, vice president for economic development with the Greenville Chamber of Commerce. �The first three to five years are really difficult and, if you can survive that long, odds are you�ll make it. But she�s become an institution in Greenville, and it has been very beneficial to have her in the area.�
From tomboy to jeweler
If there is one thing Strong is not, it�s fake. Though �pitifully shy� growing up, she has always spoken her mind. You could point to her New Englander parents, or to her shyness, or to the fact that as she reaches 60 she�s more confident in herself, but really it�s how Strong says she has always been.
�I have a dear friend who says, �Llyn, please wrap your bricks before you throw them,�� she says with a laugh. �I said, �Why?�
Strong was born in Norfolk, Va., and moved to Greenville as a child when her father retired from the Navy. Bob and Alice Sargent raised Llyn, the middle of their three children, to be self-sufficient and hardworking. So she had an early desire for a job. Since girls weren�t allowed to have paper routes at the time, Llyn�s brother got two routes and gave one to 11-year-old Llyn and their younger sister, Roberta.
At 13, Strong began working at the lake bath house at Paris Mountain State Park.
Aside from a strong work ethic, Strong says her parents also gave her creativity.
�We were never allowed to be bored growing up,� she says. �Because if you have a brain and you can think, then you can�t possibly be bored.�
Strong was always creative, but save for a penchant for pop-beads as a child, her future in jewelry wasn�t so obvious. The self-described tomboy was more often found playing baseball than dress-up � a trait she�s passed on to her daughter Sydney, who played soccer at College of Charleston.
Her individuality led her to an early love of art, though. In college she studied graphic design and painting at Western Carolina University and fell in love with Gustav Klimt, the Austrian symbolist painter known for revolutionizing the impressionist painting world with his abstract, jewel-toned works.
At Western Carolina, Strong took a jewelry class on a whim, and the medium fascinated her. She took two more classes in college and then two more with a friend through a federally funded art program.
Strong also adopted her lower-case moniker � the one that became llyn strong fine art jewelry � in college, too. Though some may hope for an epic story, it�s really more practical. Her father, Strong says, really wanted all boys and gave all of his children, even Strong and her sister, boy-sounding names. Strong�s legal name, Allyn Howe Sargent, posed some problems when she registered � she was assigned to a men�s dorm � so she dropped the uppercase �A� and went by Llyn.
�I was so naive and shy,� she says of the dormitory mistake. �It�s a shame I didn�t just say, OK!�
After college, Strong bought jewelry-making equipment and set up a studio in her apartment. She had a solid background in jewelry design, but breaking into the male-dominated industry in 1972 proved difficult. So she took a job at a local jewelers in the only position they offered � bridal consultant.
�I had to learn what a bacon server was and a pickle fork, and all that crap,� she says wryly.
She eventually moved up the ranks into the workshop, but Strong always knew she wanted to work for herself. She began selling work at art and craft shows and moved into her own studio in 1983.
The shop, located where High Cotton is today, was �not in the best part of town,� she says. So her father would often come by and sit with her while she worked at night.
�He looked at me one day and he said, �I used to think you charge a tremendous amount for what you do, but now I�ve seen what it takes, and I don�t think you charge enough,�� Strong recalls. �That really meant a lot.�
Moving up Main Street
The year 1989 was a big one for Strong. She and her husband, Sydney�s father, divorced; her niece, Llyn, was born; her father passed away; and she leased her first retail store on North Main Street, where Jersey Mike�s is now.
The move to the heart of downtown was not as much visionary as it was practical, Strong says. At the time, downtown Greenville was growing, with the construction of the Hyatt and the Peace Center, but Main Street was still recovering from the flight to the shopping malls. That fact, a bank loan she got with the help of the Minority Business Development Center and a second mortgage on her house allowed Strong to purchase her building at 119 North Main in 1992.
Over the years, Strong has remained a force in the jewelry world. Her pieces, made of primarily precious gemstones, silver, platinum and 14- and 18-karat gold, are known for their �everyday wear-ability,� she says.
�People really respond to her designs,� says Betty Edwards, a longtime customer. �She doesn�t do anything like anybody else.�
Staying relevant
Though Strong is a very practical person, she has never underestimated the meaning of little things. She often looks at a ceramic tile on her desk for inspiration. The piece shows the lower part of a woman�s leg, the foot in a red high-heel balancing on a branch. A townscape fills the background and these words are in the foreground: �When you�re out on a limb, you�ve got the world at your feet.�
�I think I�ve stood out on a limb most of my life,� Strong says, smiling. �You have to take risks to be successful, and I don�t think you always are.�
Strong has remained true to that motto as she�s grown her business from small operation to mainstay in the heart of downtown Greenville. When she was starting out and didn�t have enough of her own work to show, she contacted artist friends to consign their pieces, which Strong would sell for a percentage of the price.
As her business grew and she got her own building, she focused more on glass and her own jewelry. Today, custom pieces remain the crux of her business, which has helped Strong develop a devoted customer base.
�I realized years ago that my customer base is not everybody,� she says. �I don�t need to try to go after everybody.�
More recently, technology has been a major game changer. Strong attended her first Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America shows six years ago and returned home with three new pieces of equipment and a five-year lease-payment plan.
�Technologically, I�m probably one of the �trickest� shops in the Southeast right now, especially for a store my size,� Strong says, slipping in some unexpected slang. �I just love equipment.�
As she continues to both design and make her pieces, the laser welder and 3-D printer have made a world of difference in precision. But the induction casting machine allows her to make wax casts from her sketches and has enabled her to produce the highly detailed pieces for which she�s known at a much faster pace.
�It�s brought me into the 21st century,� Strong says.
The gem roundtables have helped her business in a similar way. Though Strong has held most in her store in Greenville, she plans to take them to other Southeastern cities by next year.
Strong�s goals for the coming years are divided into business and personal, though, as with most entrepreneurs, those two often overlap. In business, she wants to expand her customer base nationally and even internationally. She has developed a more strategic approach to art shows � focusing on higher end ones like Art Basel in Miami rather than doing more shows.
�She�s constantly thinking of new things,� says Brad Pine, Strong�s husband of seven years.
Pine might be the yin to Strong�s yang, and his background in corporate sales has helped Strong hone some of the numbers side of her business.
�But I told her, numbers are numbers,� Pine says. �Use those as guides; you don�t ever take away your creativity or your entrepreneurial thought.�
Beyond business
At the roundtable inside Strong�s store, the group has gathered around the elegantly set table. Strong sits at one end passing brightly colored gems around and explaining their qualities to the people beside her.
There, in that room, in the middle of her store, surrounded by precious stones, Strong is in her element. After two decades, though, she is ready to hand off some of the business side. She wants more time to design, craft and imagine pieces now.
That�s still her passion after all these years.
Sometimes, when Strong sits on the floor of her apartment or her gallery and looks around, she thinks she might have achieved success. Sometimes, she prefers to gaze out the window overlooking Main Street instead. But no matter where she looks these days, she feels content.
�I don�t know,� she says. �Of course, the older I get the more I think you just need to leave your doors open, follow your heart.�

Budget hotel, currently under renovation!Posted Sep 7, 2014
We looked and found many hotels in Paris. Concluded that we would go for lower end budget and not too central would be fine. As we decided that we would be travelling about on the metro anyway to get from place to place and that we probably won't spend much time in the hotel. Location is within 5min walk from 2 metro stations, so very handy. Staff there are mostly friendly. Breakfast is as expected, cold meat, cheese, toast, yogurts and croissants. Lift is slow and not helped at the time by tradesmen constantly using it. Our room was I hope a, yet to be renovated room. However it was a Comfy bed, had a kettle and small single shower etc. the tv only had English news and stocks channels and was a stylish on the wall tv, however unforutnately was a bit too small to see properly from the bed. Overall the room and facilities were as expected. What wasn't expected was renovations to be going on in the next room and rooms above & below. We was assured that work was strictly between 10am and 6pm but this was not the case daily and we called reception on occasion to report it and they apologised. When we asked to move rooms we were denied due to availability. With this amount of work going on at the hotel there should of been notifications before we booked. The hotel does not provide dinner facilities so each night we ate out in the city. The older male receptionist was very helpful and recommended a great local restaurant just a couple of minutes from the hotel Le petit something .

Nice AreaPosted Jul 23, 2014
We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and other than the fact that room was small, everything else about the hotel was satisfactory. The hotel has a supermarket right infront and a metro station about 3 mins walk away. The area in which the hotel is located is rather nice for those who would just want to stroll around leisurely and observe the old buildings or sit and have a coffee at one of the many cafes situated once every few minutes walk. This is not a very touristy area so the locality is peaceful. The breakfast at the hotel was also ok. The front desk staff was always very helpful in guiding us how to get around and plan our day to make the most of it. Moreover they also had some tickets and discount coupons available for some of the tourist attractions.

Services and comfort.Posted Jul 15, 2014
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: I do not think they can improve anything as this hotel building is old and there is no room for expansion of facilities and services.
Location: Close to Metro station and opposite to convenience store should you need to make some grocery purchases.
Dirty and smelling rooms. Very small room and bed is small for a couple. Cannot move in shower. Toilet squeezed between wall and shower enclosure - very tight space. Lift is very small and as a couple with two large suitcases you will have to do two trips. Stayed three nights and even after mentioning the staff to replace one of the two light bulbs in the bathroom it was not done. Made a mistake booking this hotel Do not recommend to anyone. Pay little extra and stay in a nicer hotel. Our stay was very uncomfortable.

Air conditioning disabled at end of September. This is a French thing. Very warm in Paris during my stay. But staff did change our room to a better location off street so we could sleep with window open and no street noise. A great neighborhood and the staff was excellent.

Pay attention to the Star rating. 3 is not highPosted Jun 24, 2013
Pros: Looked reasonable on the web site. Bathroom was clean.
Cons: Square footage of the room chosen.
Location: About a ten minites walk from the Arch. A few nice neighborhood restaurants are nearby.
Rooms and elevators are small. Air Conditioning inadequate. Front desk staff was okay, but the "Restaurant" staff was not accomodating.

Pleasant and CozyPosted Nov 26, 2012
Pros: Location, service, cleanliness.
Cons: over priced breakfast
Location: 2 minute walk from the Wagram metro station, near cafes and a supermarket
The hotel was very cozy, although the room was a bit small. The staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations and directions of things to do and places to see. The location was great as it was a short walk from the metro, and across several cafes and a supermarket. We loved it and would defiantly recommend it to couples or young travellers.

Perfect for a weekend in ParisPosted Oct 16, 2012
Pros: The comfotable bed and excellent shower
Cons: Nothing
Location: Excellent location near Wagram metro station. The 31 bus also stops outside the hotel and takes you to the Arc de Triomphe in less than 10 minutes.
The location and area of this hotel is excellent with the metro stop Wagram a short 5 minute walk away. Superb cafe's and patisserie shops nearby and a supermarket opposite the front door of the hotel. The reception staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful. The standard double room was very cosy and well decorated. The only negative comment is that the size of the room is very small but for a quick weekend in Paris this is not an issue. The bathroom was fine and very clean with an excellent shower. The bed was very comfortable and had very good quality bedlinen. It was helpful to have a kettle and hospitality tray for hot drinks. We did not eat breakfast in the hotel as there are so many fantastic patisseries nearby. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and will be returning.

Proceed with cautionPosted Aug 1, 2012
Pros: Tea and coffee in the room was a lovely touch - unusual in many European hotels
Location: 10 minute walk to the metro and a conveneint supermarket opposite
Caution - our entire stay at this hotel was excellent and exactly what we wanted from a 3 star hotel in Paris right until the point I realised that my debit card had been fraudulently charged over £200 whilst I was still staying at the hotel. I had paid for the room in full through Expedia and my card details were only taken when I checked in as security if I had breakfast or used mini bar. When I checked out I settled my account in cash. When I telephoned the hotel to investigate why they had charged my card they were very unhelpful. I spoke with the manager who tried to blame my bank. I rang my bank and they confirmed that the hotel had processed the transation in the early hours of the morning following my arrival. I was staying for 3 nights! Several emails of complaint to the hotel followed and finally when I said that I would refer this to the police they accepted they had made an error and refunded my card although the exchange rate resulted in the refund being £10 less than the payment. I understand that misktakes happen but the way the manager dealt with me and being so adamant that they had not taken a payment was appalling and tarnished our holiday and the hotel reputation. If you stay here do not offer your card details at reception and consider alternative means of security if they ask for it.
