1928 Company was founded by Melvyn Bernie in 1968 and is still in business. Styles inspired by Victorian and Edwardian designs
Vintage Signed 1928 Autumn Leaves Necklace
Are you the wild child one who can sense the coming of autumn even while summer still beats its rays? In this 1928 signed autumn leaves necklace you will be one with the winds that bring the leaves. High Quality antiqued brass chain brings you dancing leaves with carnelian and olivine vintage plastic cabs. The chain is a generous 19" , leaving you plenty of room to fasten with adjustable J hook. The longest leaf is 1 2/3" and should dip right into your collarbone, leaving his eyes to roam here and there. Excellent condition with tag marked 1928 Jewels. $35
Amber Guild ~ Made amber jewelry beginning in the 1950s.
Amber Guild Gold Filled Bracelet
Amber and gold are enduringly lovely together, especially in this sweet link bracelet signed Amber Guild 12K GF. Glowing genuine amber 10mm beads alternate with gold filled wire twists for a playful space age look. It clasps at 7 1/2" for a medium to large wrist. This great jewel is in Excellent condition, and is hers today for $42.
In business since the mid 1930's,
Accessocraft survived throughout the '90s. The jewelry is high in quality, yet
Accessocraft is not a common signature and still underpriced.
Black Rose Brooch
Circa 1955. This jet black deeply carved Lucite Rose is attached to a textured gold tone stem and leaves base to make romantic magic! Wear it with pale colors or bold stripes for extra drama, or to black lace for an ultra femme touch. The 2 7/8" brooch is light enough for the finest fabrics but well made enough for a jacket or blazer. Signed ACCESSOCRAFT on the reverse, this jewel is in Excellent condition. $38
Delightful Vintage Enamel Pansy Brooch
Another flower power jolt from the 1960s, we have for you a seldom seen pansy pin signed Accessocraft. This one is sturdier than the tin flower power pins, with purple and yellow enamels baked onto the riveted goldtone finding and centered with a prong set faux pearl. The leaves are enameled spring and deeper green, but the stem stays naked goldtone! The colors are wild enough that this does not need to be a big brooch, like others in the '60s flower power garden. AT 2 7/8" tall x 1 3/8" wide, it will add delicious color to your daytime or party outfits. Signed Accessocraft NYC in two places. Excellent condition. $38
A Regel Gold-filled Jewelry appears to be circa mid 1940s through early 1950s.
Gold Filled Fiery Topaz Rhinestone Ribbon Floral Signed A Regal
This nicely designed brooch looks like an Iskin, but it's signed A Regel in back, along with marks for 12K gold filled. Swirling ribbon, a brilliant unfoiled topaz rhinestone flower and winding with tendrils and dripping pods, this beauty will go everywhere with you. This 2 1/4" wide jewel has beautifully intact finish; the prong set stone is pristine. Excellent. $32
is the mark of American Jewelry and Chain company, which was in business
from1927 to 1997. Even their well-known 1990's figural pieces are
very well made. Also, it appears many pieces were made in small quantities..
Signed AJC Limpid Lady Mirror Brooch
AJC made a number of lady brooches, but this one is hard to find. It is well designed, sleek, and golden. Perhaps the lady is ready for a secret rendezvous in the moonlight. She's shown in front of the large slender oval mirror holding a fan and appears deep in dreams. You can find her, in silvertone, pictured on page 166 in Kathy Flood's Warman's Costume Jewelry Figurals. Circa 1980s, It's just lovely, the way the oval mirror reflects the alternating polished and matte goldtone. This jewel is slender and tall at 3 1/4". It's hard to find the signature; the letters look like lumps along the back side mirror frame, but it's there, AJC. Wear it with anything to invoke quiet excitement. Excellent condition. $45
Avon Avon has it's own page! Avon Jewelry
B. David Founded in 1945, B. David jewels are well made and present beautifully.
Beaujewels~ Bowman & Foster went out of business in the 1970's. These jewels are always beautiful if the stones are still bright and enamels and faux pearl nacres intact. The ones I have seen are made with riveted backings. This kind of construction is NOT unique--many costume jewelers used it, particularly during the late 1940's and 1950's including Weiss, Coro, and Judy Lee--this was the era when sweaters were very popular; the riveted construction is lighter and won't weigh down a sweater. After all, we're talking vintage fashion jewelry--the best designers kept womens' and young lady's fashions in mind. Often, Beaujewels brooches were not signed, only the earrings. But, unless you already know the styles and findings they used or have the signed earrings, don't accept an unsigned brooch as Beaujewels.
Beaujewels Rare, Incredibly Gorgeous Rose & Painted Rhinestone Floral Brooch Set
This vintage demi parure blooms large, frosted cellulose acetate green roses, molded and assembled into thick layers of thick lush green color changing gradually to light olive green, nearly transparent at the top of the petals. These beauties, two of them on the brooch, are centered with green AB aurora borealis rhinestones that flash green & gold. And look at the variety of green cabs--light jade green navette chatons hand painted with with rose and gold, also olive green moonstone glass cabs and several shades of aqua and green rhinestone navettes and chatons, all prong set in riveted gold tone metal. The brooch measures 3" x 2.5" and rises over 1" above the surface pin stem. The matching earrings measure approximately 1.25"L x 1"W and rises just under an inch above the clip base. As is often the case, only the earrings marked BEAUJEWELS. Don't miss such seldom seen beauties! $88
A master of epoxy enamel jewelry, beginning for about 1980 to
the late 1990's. Since then he has concentrated his artistic drive in other
areas and has not created any more jewelry lines. In my opinion, Berebi jewelry
is still inexpensive enough to be a great investment for those who love to spend
their money and have it, too!
Crazy Enameled Earrings Signed Edgar Berebi
For the adventuress in your life--or in you--these black-clad, red hat & belted waiters are running every which way, ready with plates of colorful fruit. They will dangler maddeningly below your ears, and will not fail to get attention and compliments. In the pictures it's hard to see how everything is outlined in gold--the earrings look better than the pictures. Each dangler is articulated between the late of fruit and the little guys' hands. as well as the joint holding the fishhook findings. The earrings themselves are 1 3/4" tall, but they dangle from the curve in the fishhook a full 2 1/4:, Both are signed (c)Berebi in back. Excellent condition. $32
Bogoff~ 1946 to 1970. Made high quality jewelry, mainly rhinestone sets, but this designer also used pearls, beads, and metals. This is a scarce, highly sought after signature.
Bonetto This
company made beautiful ladies' hinged bangle watches, rhinestone watches and watch pins during the
1970s and 1980s as well
as collectible clocks. Some of their jewels are marked Bonetto, some Bonetto
Digits, and some, probably later, simply Digits. Many of these, particularly the ladies, appear to have
been put together by hand. Bonetto Digits today is producing watch rings, so
these lovely collectible clocks and watches of the '70's and 1980's are long gone, unless
you get lucky.
Lady Bonetto Watch Pin in Original Box
Circa 1980. One of Bonetto's glamorous ladies, this dangling watch pin is highly collectible. Her bisque face is hand painted with beautiful blue-shadowed eyes and a red bow mouth, posing languidly beneath an antiqued gold tone hat with rhinestone centered flowers, rhinestone chain and black fan bow. Textured foliage decorates her neck along with more bright crystals and a sparkling large rivoli rhinestone. The goldtone watch with diamond-like digits on the face dangles from midst of the splendor, and runs perfectly with a brand new battery. This irreplaceable jewel totals 3 1/2" tall x 1 3/4" wide. The watch by itself is 7/8" in diameter. The clear Lucite top of the original box has a few scratches, but otherwise the watch and the lady are still Like New on original card in box with the old warrantee card! Enjoy this glamorous collectible for the holidays. $78
Bonetto Rhinestone Balloon Clown Dangling Watch Pin
Bugbee & Niles was in business from the late 19th century until at least 1953. Marks include B&N, B.N., BN and others.
Cathe A scarce signature; this design house produced quality jewelry in the 1960s. Still underpriced considering it's rarity and originality of design.
Green-Eyed Cockatiel Pin
This handsome fella looks so happy on his perch. The cockatiel is fashioned in gold plated metal with various detailed textures and brushing alongside polished gold tone, always an attractive combination. The green glass center matches the sparkling eye of this pretty boy. Although he's only 1 3/4" tall, your friends will smile when they see him. Signed in back (C)Castlecliff. Excellent condition, with intact finish and sound, bright stones. $38
DeLizza & Elster for
Moroccan Matrix Art Glass Bracelet
One of Celebrity's better pieces, this ethnic revival link bracelet offers colorful and exotic molded glass enameled cabochons in each setting. This type of art glass was also used by Delizza & Elster in their own unsigned jewelry and is called "Moroccan Matrix." Feels cool and heavy on the wrist. This jewel is 1" wide and clasps with the large foldover at 7 1/2," roomy enough for a medium to med/large wrist. Complete with safety chain, this chic collectible is signed in back of one of the links (c)Celebrity. Excellent, unworn condition. $55
Celebrity Moroccan Matrix Drop Earrings by D&E
Delizza & Elster, for Celebrity, made an entire set of of jewels using molded & enameled glass called Moroccan matrix. Here we have the drop earrings in red, white and black. These little dangle earrings are clip-ons, 1 1/4" long, and will dance sassily while he longs for you to glance his way. Signed CELEBRITY on earring clips. Excellent, unworn condition. $22
Charel Charel
is best known for Art Moderne Lucite thermoset jewelry of
the 1950's. In my opinion, most jewelry marked Charel is is as well made
as Lisner jewelry but much more scarce.
Brown Moonglow Lucite Earrings
Clip on earrings. Here's a great pair of 1950s earrings in the Art Moderne style Charel does so well, with silvertone angular overlays on bourbon colored moonglow Lucite wafers. These little jewels are 7/8" and marked CHAREL on the clips. Excellent condition. $24
Cerrito Jewelry Ltd from 1977~ Johnston, RI
Bright, Lovely Poinsettia Pin by Cerrito
Simply beautiful this brooch, with its curled leaves & criss-cross textured petals highlighted by golden edges and a floret of puffs in the center. The back of this 2"beauty is smooth gold tone and signed in large block letters, CERRITO. Excellent condition. $32

We thought the rumored name of the club thats replacing PM, Griffin, was weird enough, but Vittles Vamp has it that Sasha Petraske of Milk & Honey and Audrey Saunders of Pegu Club are teaming up on a bar called Gryffindor. Um ... ? Petraske tells us: If Audrey and I open a bar together, I promise you we won't get the name from Harry Potter. Kudos to Vittles Vamp for managing to fool at least one other food blog.

This story just might have some legs after all:
[i]Marty's son expected to get a shot in Buffalo
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 2, 2010 5:43 PM ET
In my haste to post the news that Brian Billick will interview for the Bills, I missed another big item at the bottom of Jason Cole's report for Yahoo! Sports.
Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is expected to interview for the Bills head coaching job, too.
The interview makes sense. When Buddy Nix was hired as the new Bills G.M., there was speculation than Brian's dad Marty could be in the mix for the job. But Nix also has a history with Brian, who coached in San Diego before moving to New York.
A conspiracy theorist (none around here) may wonder if the Bills could possibly land a package Schottenheimer deal, but the elder has said he doesn't want to return to coaching.[/i]

The New York Times reports on one advantage of owning a large block of land:
'With a single well, drillers can bore down a few thousand feet, turn sideways and drill lateral wells up to two miles long. In other areas of Pennsylvania, that can mean having to secure permission from hundreds of property owners. The airport, though, is 9,000 acres with a single landlord.'
"It's like finding money," said Rich Fitzgerald, the county executive of Allegheny County, which owns the airport. "Suddenly you've got this valuable asset that nobody knew was there."

A little about me...
I'm a simple kind of stylish guy who blends in all sorts of settings, from dressed up at a 4 star restaurant, to a lazy blue jean day at the park; I always am content and happy. Being energetic and staying active is very important to me, along with being grandpa and spending time with friends. I don't blend well with melodramatic, negative, rude or passive personalities, life is about choices and I choose to enjoy it.
About the one I'm looking for...
A lady who cares where I am, who's eyes light up when I talk to her, who listens with great detail and reaches for my hand… and most of all, would rather be with me wherever we land. All I seek, I will give first, a good relationship is 50/50
I'd just like to add...

Six ways for gardeners can survive winter with style.
Power through branches with ease.
In 2011, much of the United States suffered extreme heat and drought. Due to watering restrictions, gardeners were forced to make choices about which plants to water and save.
How much to water and ways to help plants survive extreme temperatures takes real thought and can test a gardener's mettle. Here are some good ways to cope.
Plant in spring and fall
Water deeply and less frequently
Shade Cloth
Shade Cloth is often used in vegetable gardens in hot and dry climates. It helps protect plants from intense sun. If you decide to use shade cloth, consult your local cooperative extension service for the shade percentage used in your area.
Grow plants that don't ask for much.
Choose and grow plants that are drought resistant and can handle the heat. Some suggestions are:
Try the tips above and make your job easier in extreme heat and drought conditions. Even if your area doesn't experience these extremes, these tips are all good garden practices and will help your garden survive whatever the climate delivers.

text: DOD Justifies Somalia Raid Under Same AUMF Mandate Obama Denounced in May Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 9 Oct 2013 post a comment Following the October 5th SEAL Team Six raid in Somalia the U.S. military cited the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) to justify its action. Problem--the AUMF was passed under George W. Bush and President Obama began pressing for its repeal four months ago. So we have an administration divided against itself (again), with the White House denouncing the AUMF and the Department of Defense (DOD) citing it. According to The Long War Journal, the DOD cited the AUMF in "announcing the raid that targeted...senior Shabaab leader...Abdikadir Mohamed Abdikadir."Abdikadir, also known as Ikrima, "coordinates the groups actions outside Somalia with Al Qaeda's central command in Pakistan." The goal of the October 5 raid was to capture Abdikadir, but he was not captured. On May 23 Obama told an audience at the National Defense University that the AUMF was "now nearly 12 years old" and it was time to repeal "AUMF's mandate." Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins

How they treat a hen in Big Sky country
This is Henny.... She is a "house" hen. She doesn't sleep in the house, mind you, she just comes in for food. In the morning my friend "D" goes out and let Henny and Dwane (the rooster) out of the chicken house. Henny charges out of her beautiful little abode and immediately comes toward the big house. Up the steps she goes and if the door is not open she paces back and forth until "D" opens the door and then ....."here she comes just a walkin' down the street" or what I mean is.... across the floor. She is a chicken on a mission, a hen with purpose.
Henny is an Orpington breed (I think.) with a beautiful Wheaten coat and smarter than the average chicken. She struts into the kitchen and waits while "D" fixes her breakfast. Then with all the elegance a chicken can muster, she eats her special gourmet meal. This morning it was hard boiled egg (probably her own....the ultimate recycle) and some broken pecans, much more to her liking than the egg.
When she had her fill she started for the door. "D" called her and gave her one last, special, hand delivered goodie.... and then....out she went to forage on her own. With a flip of her tale feathers and a few clucks (...could have been "thank you", it's hard to know.) she walked out the front door and into the garden.
It is definitely a hen's life around here.
I, on the other hand, had to get my own breakfast. Hummph! OK, I know. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Sometimes you just have to do a little chicken dance and grab the camera instead.
I just hope Henny knows how good she has it. I think she does....
P.S. Please don't tell my hens about this.

Has anyone been to Taste at Belvedere recently?
I was at Daedalus Books today and saw Taste's sidewalk signs advertising two-for-one entrees on Tuesday nights. Any feedback?
Not sure how you define recently, but I was there within the last 6 months. I found it perfectly ... fine. The service was pretty bad -- inattentive and indifferent. The shrimp and grits appetizer was served lukewarm and the shrimp was a bit overcooked. As an entree I had some sort of white fish, I forget the exact fish now but it was their special that night, and it was, again ... fine. Nothing special about it or the steamed veggies that came with it. Now I'm a veggie lover, so that wasn't my issue, it was more like there was nothing about the dish -- no interesting herbs on the veggies, no tasty salsa on the fish, etc. -- that made it pop. Everything was just ... fine.
And considering it was nothing more than fine, it is terribly, terribly overpriced. It's funny you ask about the Tuesday night special, because I have commented often to friends that the only way I would ever go back would be if it were a Tuesday, because otherwise the food simply isn't worth it. I'll pay $10 -- $12 for a "fine" entree, but not low $20s. So I guess my point is, if you are curious to give it a try yourself, definitely make it a Tuesday.
re: charmedgirl
I will join the overpriced/fine chorus. We went for my birthday in Feb. of this year to try something new. It was some sort of deal night, but it still ended up being expensive and the food was so-so. In fact, we decided to not have dessert there, but drove down to Charleston to end our evening at a place we knew would have a fabulous dessert.
And a Charleston aside (which probably belongs on a Charleston thread, but it is related to this topic), it was a bitter chocolate flourless cake of some sort, and I had ordered a red wine, which the bartender (we ate in the bar) brought to me, but she also brought out two glasses of dessert wine (on the house - and we definitely didn't look like anyone special) that she said would be amazing with the dessert. I usually don't like dessert wines, but this was the most perfect pairing I've ever had. This is why I don't mind paying what Charleston costs - fabulous service and when it is right on (dessert is usually always right on), it is stellar.
re: charmedgirl
The grilled Caesar was pretty tasty. But unfortunately, that was it.
The rest of our dinner was 'meh', and the service was some of the worst I've had anywhere.
I have not been recently, because I vowed not to return after my last visit. I wish I could be generous enough to give them another chance, but I found the food so mediocre and uninspired on the two occasions I've been there that I just cannot do it. To be fair, I only tried the appetizers, so maybe the mains are better??
i think the chef use to be a private caterer. i don't think she has the proper credentials to pull off an expensive, fine dining concept in a free standing restaurant. mediocrity seems like word of the day....
I've eaten there three times since they opened: app's only; full 3 course meal; lite meal. The most recent was late spring/early summer and we (bf and I), had a lite meal of dozen oysters and one entree and salad and one mojito. With tip and tax our cheque was close to $150, which we thought was incredibly expensive, esp as we were NOT blown away by the food. I have to say, I've been really dissappointed with the food here which I also think is overpriced. Has anyone had a positive, good, go back experience?
re: Junglegirl
Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll look elsewhere for a night out......
I'm surprised at all of the negative comments. I've actually had several very good meals at Taste and it is one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore. I have recommended it to friends and they have enjoyed it as well. I agree that the regular prices are somewhat steep, so my recommendation would be to go on a Tuesday and check it out for yourself.
re: blossomlover
Taste is taste-less. Wretched food, attrocious service. Stay at home and eat a cold hotdog---you will have a much more memorable meal in front of your refrigerator.
A friend and I stopped by Taste last night (Tue) figuring to give the two-for-one special a try. The Tue special is that if you order an entree and an appetizer you get an additional appetizer for free. Not quite the deal I expected. We declined and went downtown to Mem Sahib. They were closed as they were catering a special event. That area on Utah Street had a very sewage like odor. We ended up in little Italy for a red sauce dinner that was fine but not worth further description.
re: jfish
I went a few months ago for lunch, and I think I had the fish burrito. I can't remember what my wife had, but I do remember that both of us were glad we didn't waste money on the place at dinner prices. I was excited about trying Taste, but after eating there you got the feeling the place was over-hyped.

The accident airplane was observed entering a near-vertical climb shortly after taking off from the private airstrip. The airplane continued in the near-vertical climb to about 300 feet above the ground before it turned to the left and entered a nose-down descent toward the runway. One witness described the aerobatic maneuver as a wingover or a hammerhead. Another witness stated that the airplane appeared to stall at the apex of the vertical climb, before it entered the left turn and nose-down descent. The same witness reported hearing the engine operate at a high speed during the descent. Several witnesses noted that the airplane impacted the grass runway as it was recovering from the dive. Given the witness statements, and that the pilot reported completing two flights earlier in the day during which he had performed aerobatic maneuvers near the private airstrip, the airplane likely stalled while the pilot was performing the maneuver. The pilot reported having no recollection of the accident flight besides performing an uneventful takeoff. A postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Day one:
I'm really not sure what made me decide that paddling the Everglades Wilderness Waterway alone was a good idea. I'd honestly like to lie and say that the planning involved in this trip took months, or even years. But in reality, I started really thinking about doing it two months ago, picked a date to go, got my gear together, got off work, and went for it.
In an extremely unusual fashion, I did VERY little research when it came to preparing for this trip. I didn't read any books, check out reports, or even look at what the weather was supposed to be. I simply set a date for it, and went. I think I read the National Park Service's .pdf on the Waterway which is only about two pages and gives you the world's worst map of campsites and chickees. I also read one report of a group of three guys who kayaked from Everglades City to Flamingo and back in eight days. And that was about it.
I spent most of my preparation time glued to Google Earth. I painstakingly entered the GPS coordinates of each campsite and chickee, and made my paths for each day. I allotted myself eight days to travel from Everglades City to Flamingo which covers approximately 99 miles. My goal was to explore and fish primarily, so I had little interest in having huge 20+ mile paddle days. I'll be the first person to tell you: I hate paddling. It's not enjoyable for me. It's a lot like work and is simply exhausting. BUT, I –love- to kayak fish. So much so, that I'll tolerate the paddling and even pretend, at times, that I enjoy it. In reality though, I just like to fish from the kayak. So short days were planned in order to give myself plenty of time to explore and fish new waters.
With a lot of my gear back home in Pensacola, my parents were kind enough to make the drive over to Jacksonville and visit with my sister and I after the holidays (neither of us could make it home this year). And when they came, they brought things like dry bags, waterproof cases, and some extra tackle. Upon learning that I'd be paddling the Everglades alone, they also insisted on renting me a satellite phone to take on the trip.
So with my gear ready, I set about pounding out the logistics of the entire trip. I picked which campsites and chickees I'd stay at each night, and planned alternate routes to each of them should weather or tides mess me up. Then came the task of working out the non-paddling parts of the trip. I have a good friend who happens to live in Naples, and she was nice enough to let me sleep on her couch the night before the trip. This saved me from driving the 5 hours down to Everglades City from Gainesville, and paddling to my campsite in one day. I was then able to make arrangements with –another- good friend (seriously you can never have too many friends) who lives in Boca and he agreed to pick me up 8 days after I left in Flamingo at 2pm and haul me back. Once those details were set in stone, I made sure to plan out my meals so that I wouldn't starve to death, and ensure that I had a way to carry all of my water with me.
The water issue was a relatively big one. There's no drinkable water in the Everglades since it's almost all brackish. This means that all drinking and cooking water must be carried along. It was suggested online that a person carry 1 gallon of water per person per day solely for drinking. This meant that I needed a minimum of 8 gallons of water. I realized, however, that carrying hard-sided water jugs, or even the big five gallon plastic jugs, simply wouldn't work. Eventually I settled on Zephyrhills 3 liter water bottles. They were tough, had a screw on cap, and fit perfectly in my kayak.
When the day finally came for me to leave, I loaded up the Jeep, slapped the kayak on the trailer, and took off for Naples. I was initially shocked at how quickly I loaded everything. It usually takes an eternity for me to actually load all of my gear, be it for a hunting trip or a fishing trip. This day, however, it took me just a few minutes. I suppose it's because all the gear I was bringing had to fit into the kayak, and that really wasn't much gear at all.
So after a relaxing evening with friends down in Naples (I gorged myself and enjoyed a few good beers), I awoke Saturday morning and drove the final hour down to Everglades city.
If you've never been to Everglades City, there isn't really much to it. A right turn and a round-about and you're literally through the entire town. At the southern end of Everglades City is the National Park Service's visitor center and my stop. I went inside, walked up to the counter, and told the old man behind the desk that I needed a permit for the Everglades Wilderness Waterway.
I soon began filling out paperwork much like that given at a doctor's office in order to torture you. It was nearing 9 am and I really wanted to get through the paperwork and onto the water to start my day. The next thing I had to do was tell the ranger all of my planned stops. They like to know who's staying where and when so that a particular campsite or chickee doesn't become too crowded. My first night was going to be on Pavilion Key; a beach site on an island out in the gulf. I assumed there'd be plenty of room. So when the ranger asked where I was heading that night, I replied "Pavilion Key"
"Sorry, it's full"
If my brain could've made the sound of screeching brakes, it would've. "Oh freakin' great. Seriously? The beach is full?" I asked. The old man simply nodded and told me that it was one of the more popular campsites and usually filled up quickly.
So now my carefully crafted route was already messed up and I hadn't even touched the water yet. I stood there at the counter and stared at the map. Where the hell am I gonna go now? Most of the other routes I could have taken were either too short for a day, or far too long. But after staring at the map for a while, I saw the only logical option for me: To go to the inside early rather than out in the gulf to start my first day. Lopez River campsite was open, and I opted to get there that evening instead. It was about 9 miles away rather than the 13 to Pavilion Key, but it was almost equidistant to what I'd planned to be my next stop at Darwin's Place.
So I asked about the second night: Darwin's Place which was approximately 12 miles from Lopez River. The old man opened up a binder and began scrolling through campsites and reserved spots. Immediately I began to worry that it too would be full. What was I going to do if all of these spots were already reserved? You can only reserve the day before or the day of. Had THAT many people already beaten me to the punch?
Luckily he said Darwin's Place was open. And as luck would have it, all of my other sites were open as well. He called down to Flamingo to verify the last couple of chickees I'd be staying at and told the person on the other end, "Hey, I've got another one heading your way. Solo paddler." I breathed a giant sigh of relief as he finished filling out my permit, and another ranger ran over a few quick rules and reminders with me and another guy who was going out with a large group. Just before I turned to walk out the door, the second ranger looked at me and said "Oh, you're going alone? Well…be careful! Rodger's River chickee might have a nuisance gator too. So just watch out."
It actually took me quite a while to load the kayak up. I wanted to make 100% sure I wasn't forgetting anything and that everything was in its. Over an hour and a half had passed since I arrived at Everglades City and my watch read 10:10 as I floated the kayak away from the launch, and turned south to Chockoloskee which is the very last "town" before Flamingo.
Immediately I was met with 20 mph winds out of the South. Due south. Right in the direction I wanted to go. Waves began crashing over the bow and it was exhausting trying to keep moving forward in a wind that wanted to send you straight back. I'd been paddling no more than 5 minutes when the thought went through my mind…
What have I gotten myself into?
Though I failed to take a picture of the yak before launching, I did remember to turn on the GoPro and take a quick video. I apologize ahead of time. You ought to turn your volume ALL the way up if you expect to hear me. I'm pretty quiet.
The three miles to Chockoloskee was hell. Absolute hell. I was drenched and during the paddle, waves had managed to dislodge my tent a little and the trash bag I'd wrapped it in was dragging at least a pound of seawater off the side of the boat. Not wishing to have the tent soaking wet, or worse, lose it, I pulled ashore at Smallwood's store in Chockoloskee. Smallwood's used to be a store for fisherman and crabbers. Today it's a museum and has a small launch which I gladly took advantage of to re-secure my tent. By this time I was starving and it was right around 12:30 (yes the three miles took THAT long). I was still in very rough water and wanted to get out of the wind before I ate. I opted to continue on and cross the rest of Chockoloskee bay to get out of the wind on its southern shore. It was during this paddle that I quickly became aware of how deceptive the distances can be in the Everglades. That tree line that looks like it's about 600 yards away? Try two miles. What I thought would only be about 15 minutes of paddling turned into almost an hour. And rather than stop and lose ground with the wind pushing me back, I just kept paddling until I reached the other side and glided into calm waters.
I took a stick of salami and a block of swiss cheese with me on this trip. I figured both wouldn't go bad quickly, and the mixture of them with trail mix actually filled me up quite well. I'd treated myself to a powerade before leaving the ranger station and saved one for the middle of next week as a treat.
After lunch I checked my map and realized that I had some time to spare for fishing. I set about tossing my DOA along the mangroves and it didn't take more than 5 casts to get a hook up.
The little red put up quite a fight and though it would've been delicious for dinner, I had no real way to cook fish for this trip. My little cookware set has a pot that's –maybe- 5 inches in diameter. So it's far from ideal for cooking fish. So I slowly began making my way toward Lopez River and fished in spots that looked promising. I looked over my shoulder to grab one last glimpse of civilization, and then disappeared behind the mangroves and into the back country.
The tide was beginning to go out, so even though I'd escaped the wind, I was now getting to fight a tide. I hooked and lost some small Black Snapper and Jack Crevalle along the way, and after a couple of hours, I made the turn and paddled into the mouth of Lopez River.
Once there I stopped and realized: I'm freaking tired. Already. And it was true. My arms, shoulders, and back were pretty tired. Prior to this trip, my longest day paddling was about 8 miles. And I remember the day after that I wallowed around in bed groaning because I was so sore. I was about to break that record and then some with the addition of the wind and tide. Luckily, the campsite was only another mile down the river and I relaxed a bit once it came into view.
I'm not really sure why, but I was actually a little worried about finding my campsites at first. The thought always in the back of my mind was what if I can't find it? Do I spend the night in the kayak? But I was relieved when I pulled ashore, unloaded some gear, and set up the tent to dry. Luckily it wasn't completely drenched, so I climbed inside to lay down for a minute. I then blinked…
…and woke up an hour and a half later.
The sun was dipping low in the sky when I stepped back out of the tent and I was rather upset with myself for falling asleep. I really wanted to get some fishing in since I'd reached my campsite in the early afternoon. But now I was getting late and to be honest, I was still tired. My muscles were just…whooped. I did no training before this trip, and though I'm in relatively good shape, the muscles needed for paddling long distance were a bit lacking.
I decided instead to just take it easy and cook dinner. After all, I had another 7 days to fish hard. So I cooked while I still had light, and enjoyed the sunset after dinner.
It was about that time that the wind died, as did the light, and in the 40 seconds it took me to gather my gear into the tent, I nearly died of blood loss. The mosquitoes descended on my camp in what could have only been a long planned out scheme to turn me into a shriveled husk of a camper. I'd read a brochure that the rangers handed me about keeping water and food secure in the back country. From the image they painted, ravenous bands of raccoons and mice would stop and nothing short of breaking into your tent and robbing you at gun point to get at your food and water.
So in a fit of paranoia, I emptied the kayak of water and food, and brought it into the tent with me. And it was during this process that I let about 4 trillion mosquitoes into the tent. There really is nothing more calming after a long day's paddle than swatting at mosquitoes for an hour and a half.
After killing every one I can mush up against the tent canvass, I took out my small notepad, and jotted down one little page of notes for the day. I knew tomorrow was going to be a long day, and I had a full week of paddling ahead of me. Considering I usually don't even go out to the bar until 10-11pm, it honestly felt a little weird going to bed at 8:15 pm. But even after my nap that afternoon, my body had no rejections to sleeping a bit more. I couldn't help but be a little nervous and excited about the rest of the week. This was going to be an awesome adventure, and my thoughts wandered to my next day of fishing might hold before I drifted off into a –very- deep sleep.

I purchased this sweat pant for my son. He liked it because of its moisture wicking quality as last time when I bought him a sweat pant he did not like that one due to low quality fabric.
This sweat pant is ideal for winter. I think it is a perfect blend of comfort and style one can get for chilly days. I used it as my daily wear.
I bought this soft fabric sweatpant for my father for his morning walks..he was amazed with the quality and great prices!

Departments of Education and Agriculture Collaborate on Career Pathways
By: Catherine
Last week the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Education signed an agreement to promote agriculture education postsecondary and career pathways. Under this agreement, the Departments will work together to identify and use career pathways and programs of study that prepare students for employment in the agriculture, food and national resources cluster, including as teachers of agriculture education. They will also collaborate in identifying industry-validated standards, assessments, accreditations, certifications and best practices. As part of this pact, the departments will exchange resources and jointly organize Webinars and conferences.
"Agricultural education is central to the future of American prosperity," Secretary Duncan said in the official press release. "Many Americans may not realize that agriculture supports 1 in 12 jobs across the nation. For the U.S. economy to continue to rebound and grow, agriculture has to help lead the way."
It sounds like a win. Agriculture educators, what do you think?

Its impossible to be objective in a vote where one or more of the candidates is at his peak at the current time while one or more of the others are well past their prime.

I voted for Silentstriker.
Ricky Ponting.
Everyone wants to change the world, noone wants to change himself.
Said Tendy, but could easily have been Lara. Ponting can't be judged against those two until he's nearer the end of his career. And Rahud Dravid isn't a patch on his brother Rahul, let alone the other three in the poll.

While some hedge fund managers are still bearish on China, equity-focused managers say there are still bargains to be had, despite the macro picture.
Marko Dimitrijevic, founder and CIO of Miami-based emerging
markets hedge fund firm Everest Capital, sold off most of his
fund's short positions in Chinese equities earlier this fall,
not to get out of China but to increase the fund's holdings
through long positions. He and Matthieu Vermersch, who heads
Everest's Asia operations from their offices in Singapore, have
been bracing for a slight improvement in China's economy,
though they believe it doesn't really matter if China's GDP
grows 7 percent or 9 percent this year.
"The world is focused on big macro numbers for China, but
that's not so important for the value of listed companies,"
says Vermersch.
Not everyone shares this view. Indeed, hedge fund managers
like Hugh Hendry, CIO of London-based Eclectica Asset
Management, have been loudly and frequently explaining for some
time why they are short China. At a conference...

Artist Pamela Patrick White depicts Clara Barton tending wounded at Chatham.
'Let Us Try,' by artist Mark Churms, depicts Union engineers building a pontoon bridge, under fire, to Fredericksburg in December 1862.
'Lee's Headquarters' shows the Confederate commander conferring with 'Stonewall' Jackson and James Longstreet.
Larry Silver has built a to-die-for art collection.
It includes the top names in Civil War art and illustration--people whose work is sought by collectors, galleries and history buffs across the world.
On Saturday, a small selection of that artwork is coming to the Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center, where the public can enjoy it during the region's kickoff to its most intense period of the war's sesquicentennial.
"The Battle of Fredericksburg forever changed our area and had a lasting effect over the next century," museum president and CEO Ellen Killough said in a statement. "These pieces have never before been seen by our community, and they are a wonderful opportunity to visually experience the historic significance of this chapter in our local history."
The Battle of Fredericksburg, fought in mid-December 1862, was the first of four major battles fought in the area--making it the most blood-soaked landscape of the entire 41/2-year conflict.
The temporary exhibit comes courtesy of Silver, president and CEO of Silver Cos., the area's largest developer.
The executive's interest in the subjects emerged from his boyhood in Fredericksburg.
"Even today, you can see the historic imprint left behind by this battle on our nation's history," he said in a statement.
"My father, Carl Silver, who had a deep love for this community for over 70 years, taught me how important it is to remember and respect your past. I hope these paintings help inspire a new generation to cherish the rich history that is Fredericksburg."
Silver said he and the Silver Cos. wanted to do something significant for the battle's sesquicentennial.
He commissioned dozens of oil paintings, which have never been shown to the public, starting in 2006 as part of the Silver Cos.' early plans for its Celebrate Virginia retail complex, when a visitors center there was being considered.
Silver's collection focuses on the history of Fredericksburg from the Colonial era, when George Washington lived here with his family, through the Civil War.
He is providing 10 oil paintings, chosen by the museum staff, for the exhibition. They were created by many of America's most respected historical artists, including Mort Künstler, Don Troiani, Bradley Schmehl, Pamela Patrick White, Heide Presse, Keith Rocco, Dan Nance and Mark Churms.
Each work was chosen for its depiction of life, death and struggle during the four critical days in late 1862 that made "Fredericksburg! Fredericksburg!" the rallying cry of Union troops who, 16 months later, repelled Pickett's Charge in the Battle of Gettysburg.
As Silver developed his collection, a Fredericksburg-area advisory group worked for several years to provide historical perspective and balance to the endeavor.
Those advisers were Greg Mertz, supervisory historian at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park; Ed Watson and Mary Helen Dellinger, both formerly of the regional museum; local historian Jervis Hairston; art professional Ken Haack; and Bernadette Bruce of the Silver Cos.
Watson, the museum's director emeritus, urged people to be sure to see the unique exhibit.
"The museum's showing of these Civil War commemorative paintings is significant for the role that Fredericksburg played in the war," he said in an interview. "These paintings dramatize this conflict and its effects on the city and the surrounding counties in a way that only original works of art can do."
The museum is partnering with the University of Mary Washington to bring the paintings, which are on permanent display at the Silver Cos.' office in Florida, to Fredericksburg. The works will return there after the exhibit closes on Jan. 1.
In a statement, UMW President Richard V. Hurley thanked Silver for honoring the battle's 150th anniversary, calling it a "wonderful exhibit."
Hurley lives in a historic house on Marye's Heights that figured importantly in Dec. 13 fighting and was the residence of the area's delegate to the Virginia secession convention in early 1861.
"The UMW campus, particularly the president's home Brompton, uniquely occupies ground that was pivotal to the course of our nation," he noted. "Therefore, we have a special role to play in such efforts to reflect on our history and to educate for future generations."
The Silver family has a long tradition of local philanthropy.
The Silver Foundation has helped build community centers, medical facilities, and adoptive-care homes. Carl Silver, Larry's late father, gave millions of dollars to build the Lloyd F. Moss Free Clinic, the largest of Virginia's 47 free clinics.
The Silver family also donated the land on State Route 3 for the Cancer Center of Virginia.
Several of the artists who created works in Silver's collection will take part in a signing event at the museum on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is invited to meet them.
Prints, giclees, and commemorative posters will be available for purchase during the exhibit, with a portion of proceeds being donated to the museum.
The cultural center is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m. For more information on the exhibit, call Ellen Killough at 540/371-3037, ext. 134, or visit famcc.org.

Six years ago Robbyn Simon found herself in a situation she's never been in. She was employed at Subs Plus in Welland and learned her boss was closing his doors.
"For the first time in my life I had no job opportunity. I didn't know what to do," she says. "So I borrowed money off my parents and opened for myself."
Simon took over the location and opened Robbyn'z Nest Cakes & Café. She says running the business is "hard" but she doesn't regret her decision to venture out on her own.
"It's hard. There's not a lot of money in Welland, but our doors are open "But I enjoy what I do. I'd rather work for myself. One day [the economy] will change."
Simon, who runs the business with her husband, Jason Larsen, says the biggest challenge seems to be letting customers know there's more than just cakes at the Nest.
"They can't believe that we're a bakery slash restaurant. You can have all your food and goodies too," she says.
"You don't have to leave the place," Larsen adds with a laugh.
The café's Niagara Street location keeps them a bit hidden, Simon says, but once people discover what's behind their doors they are amazed.
"We're not just cakes anymore. We have homemade food. They're impressed when they come in. It's comfortable and relaxing. There's not a lot of young kids or a lot of noise. And," she laughs, "seniors like it because coffee refills are always free."
Simon stresses everything available at Robbyn'z Nest is completely made from scratch.
"Nothing is made by machine. Everything is made by hand. Jay does all the cooking and all the home made foods and I do all the baking."
Simon says almost all their ingredients are bought locally.
"We go to the markets. I get my meats local. My bread and buns are from Spinososa Bakery. We just buy from mostly in Welland," she says.
With their dedication to quality and preparation of homemade foods, Simon and Larsen say they easily put in 12-13 hours per day. And during holidays it's even more.
"We pretty well live here," jokes Larsen.
Simon nods with amusement and adds, "We only go home to sleep."
She says she loves decorating and creating during the holidays.
"At Christmas I go crazy with snow men, snow flakes and poinsettias," she smiles.
And, of course, what would a café be without delicious foods and yummy sweets?
Larsen prepares turkey dinners with stuffing, potatoes, vegetables and buns while Simon keeps busy baking desserts such as pumpkin, apple and custard pies, cupcakes, cookies and more. With all of these delectable items is it easy to choose a favourite for the holidays?
"I like the chocolate cupcakes or the red velvet," says Simon after careful consideration. Larsen, on the other hand, has a quick and enthusiastic answer.
"Chocolate," he says with a huge smile.
All of the cakes and cupcakes prepared at Robbyn'z Nest are peanut free.
"I bake nothing in the ovens with my cakes and my cupcakes. All of my other stuff is done separately," Simon says.
And not only do Simon and Larsen support the local food suppliers, but they feel it's necessary to give what they can to the community. Simon's eyes show genuine concern and emotion as she explains.
"Myself, I know what it's like not to have; so anytime I can give, I give. It's good to help others and give to the community. You have to. A lot of places don't. I probably give too much, which is probably why we don't make a lot of money," she says. "But you've got to help out."
