English Synonyms and Antonyms, by James Champlin Fernald
Fine (Latin finis, end) denotes that which has been brought to a full end, finished. From this root-sense many derived meanings branch out, causing words quite remote from each other to be alike synonyms of fine. That which is truly finished, brought to an ideal end, is excellent of its kind, and beautiful, if a thing that admits of beauty; as, a fine house, fine trees, a fine woman, a fine morning; if a thing that admits of the removal of impurities, it is not finished till these are removed, and hence fine signifies clarified, clear, pure, refined; as, fine gold. That which is finished is apt to be polished, smooth to the touch, minutely exact in outline; hence fine comes to be a synonym for all words like dainty, delicate, exquisite; as, fine manners, a fine touch, fine perceptions. As that which is delicate is apt to be small, by an easy extension of meaning fine becomes a synonym for slender, slight, minute, comminuted; as, a fine thread, fine sand; or for filmy, tenuous, thin; as, a fine lace, fine wire; and as a thin edge is keen, sharp, fine becomes also a synonym for these words; as, a fine point, a fine edge. Compare BEAUTIFUL; MINUTE.
beautiful, clarified, clear, comminuted, dainty, delicate, elegant, excellent, exquisite, fine, gauzy, handsome, keen, minute, nice, polished, pure, refined, sensitive, sharp, slight, small, smooth, splendid, subtile, subtle, tenuous, thin
big, blunt, clumsy, coarse, great, heavy, huge, immense, large, rude, stout, thick

A restaurant with a concept and therefore still going strong! With limited options, and chairs to stay in for a long, long time. The location is great. The restaurant is stylish and the food is good. RED, is one of those upcoming Amsterdam restaurants. After opening in 2006, it became an instant hit!
They serve just two dishes, no appetizers, a few desserts, and a great French cheese trolley. Lobster or Steak, with great French fries, home made mayonnaise and a salad.
The wine list is entertaining and promising, but the staff is focused on selling champagne. Chilled and sizzling, looks nice, and fits RED. One of my monthly favourites!

I bought two of these to go in my upstairs hallway. There is another similar one on this site for about double the price that looks nicer in the picture. I took the risk of getting this one, and it looks amazing!!! As beautiful as the picture of the more expensive one. I am very particular when it comes to decorating my home (and I love doing it for less!). You won't go wrong getting these, and the price can't be beat!
The directions are practically none existent and you will have to drill your own holes to make them big enough to fit the screws but when all is said and done it looks beautiful.
OMG! I love this great drum ceiling light! It adds glamour and pizzazz to our guest room and when lit at night, the pattern on the ceiling is so romantic feeling. I show it off to everyone who comes over. Love it, love it, love it!
I hired an electrician to install it. The labor fee is not cheap. The light is elegant, but took him a while to install it. And it can't be completely mounted to the ceiling as the screws are longer. I am not sure about the lighting effect after the installation, as the light seems scattered, however, when I turn it off, it looks beautiful. Overall, with the price I paid, I'm happy with it .
This chandelier is worth every penny and then some. It looks stunning in my daughter's bedroom and looks like it cost three times the price I paid. The crystals are real, not plastic like many of the others offered. The shade creates a beautiful starburst affect on the ceiling from the strings which my daughter loves. It's a nice size too for a medium to large bedroom.
It was a bit challenging to put it together and install. But it looks nice and fancy for the money. After a year I changed the decor and took the black shade off. It still looks very nice...actually I like it even better without the shade.
I am in love with this light fixture. I bought this for the downstairs hallway. A very small hallway only 7 feet long. The lighting output is very soft. In the daylight the illumination is lost but at night it is just right for a soft light. I loved that it came with white gloves so that you didn't leave marks on all the crystals. Overall, I love it and am happy with the look just wish it was a little brighter.
The instructions make no sense (and I'm an electrical engineer) and there appear to be some problems with the parts being too long or too short. I wound up replacing the center threaded rod with a longer one I had from another light and ditching the support brackets. Took me at least a couple of hours to figure it out. My guess it is packaged wrong and probably needed a center bracket that drops down. For the price it is a good deal if you are patient enough to mess with it. Probably only ** in parts.
I purchased several new lights for my new home and this is by far my favorite. The light looks great. Very few directions for putting it together, I assume I did it correctly, but not sure..No matter..It looks terrific. It is bigger than it looks/

How honest are you? - page 3
Venting on another thread got me thinking about this. In our ED, all the rooms including the trauma bays are private, with both curtains and doors that close. Because of this, it's very easy for the patients, in their private... Read More
- 5Having been to the ED multiple times in the past 6 months for myself, and once for DH's car wreck. I don't mind waiting. Our local ED is good about announcing wait times.
Once when being I was being seen, myself and 4 other pts got called back at once. We were called back down the "exit" door versus the entrance. You could see security cordoning off the hallway, and hear the most heart wrenching wails. A middle aged women was kneeling in the hallway clawing at her chest sobbing in agony, and if she could have physically ripped her heart from her chest to stop the pain, I believe she would have.
I knew, without being told, that it was her child that died. I don't know how, I just had that feeling.
It's amazing everyones different reactions.
DH just gripped my shoulder, and told the nurse he would push my w/c for her. However, from then on, he held my hand, stroked my hair, as if to reassure himself I wasn't leaving him.
One of the pts being wheeled back just griped and complained about the wait, and about the long walk to the rooms. Another asked what had happened, and his wife yelled at him for rubbernecking.
The resident who examined me, remembered me from his internship, and was all apologetic, he said there was a traumatic code.
Most of the staff were very very kind. From the way they treated me, you would have had no clue that just a few short hours before there was a traumatic code brought in by helicopter, a young man, worked on frantically for over an hour, that didn't make it.
I didn't look up the details or his name in the news, I felt like just seeing his mother in her moment of grief I was intruding on something private that I had no right to. This time I wasn't a nurse, I was just a pt. I already intruded enough.
The staff didn't have to be honest with me, but they did. It was well apparent. I don't know if it was professional courtesy because the doctor knew me.
I don't work the ED, but I have told pt's that I or a coworker have had an emergency with a different pt and that is why meds or treatments are late. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I think it depends on the pt.
- 5Nov 7, '11 by talaxandraI'm not normally too affected by posts but your description of that poor woman's grief, and the responses of your husband and the other patients, mean my keyboard's blurry.
- 0Quote from talaxandraI think the woman who yelled at her husband...she wasn't yelling at him to be mean, I think it was to protect the mother who lost her son. It's the same feeling I have about not wanting to look up any news reports about that day. It was gut wrenching.I'm not normally too affected by posts but your description of that poor woman's grief, and the responses of your husband and the other patients, mean my keyboard's blurry.
- 0Nov 7, '11 by talaxandraI wasn't calling him mean, I meant that my keyboard was blurry as a result of having tears in my eyes.
- 1Quote from talaxandraOh, I understand completely...I just reread my post and wanted to clarify. Sometimes I wish I could be as elegant as some of the other posters when it comes to phrasing things, unfortunately I am not. For me it is a struggle to put down in words a scene I wish to convey, that is so poignant yet I feel important to share. I often feel I don't do it justice in my attempt to find the right words.I wasn't calling him mean, I meant that my keyboard was blurry as a result of having tears in my eyes.
- 7Nov 7, '11 by Ruby VeeQuote from maelstrom143it's interesting, isn't it, that the daughter who really needed you was grateful and apologetic. someone who just wants more ice for their soda will be neither grateful nor apologetic.i have been very lucky (but then again, i have not had too many years experience yet) because most of my patients are very understanding and willing to deal w/a little wait time since when their turn comes i will strive to give them as much attention as i give the other patients.
one time i had a patient start crashing and we took an hour to stabilize him...we finally managed it. i turn to see a family member of a patient across the way at the door hesitating. i moved toward her and asked what was wrong. she stated, "something is not right with mom...she just lays there and has stopped talking." this was an acute cva we had admitted earlier.
well, my patient was now stable and good to go, so i let the charge nurse know i was going to check on my other lady. i walk into the room, lady turns to look at me...and proceeds to seize. later on it was determined she had also had another stroke! daughter was right to come get me, but when i first saw her at the door, for a split second i was annoyed...lol. i am so glad it only lasted for that split second. thankfully, rapid response was still across the way.
oh, and i forgot to mention: the daughter was very grateful and kept apologizing for coming to get me.
- 1Nov 7, '11 by JBudd GuideI tell people "we've had a serious emergency down the hall, people are a little tied up right now". Sometimes follow it up with, "around here, you DON'T want to be the one who gets all the attention." It usually gets a smile.
On the other hand, the ones who complian the loudest about the wait, tend to be the psych consults, who aren't allowed to leave AMA. Only one counselor, and each eval can take up to an hour. ARGH.
- 1Nov 7, '11 by NeoPediRNIf I think they are going to get something out of the truth then I'll them if it's been a very long time and I can see the frustration building. If they're the type of patient to complain about the wait as there's a code going on right beside them in the same room then I'll save my breath and my time and they can continue to complain and wait.
- 1Nov 8, '11 by maelstrom143Quote from ruby veeaint that the truth she was feeling so bad about coming to the room when she knew we had an emergency going on that i had our director go talk to her and reassure her that her response was, in fact, precisely what it should have been and how glad we were that she had the presence of mind to come get us.it's interesting, isn't it, that the daughter who really needed you was grateful and apologetic. someone who just wants more ice for their soda will be neither grateful nor apologetic.
- 2Nov 9, '11 by hiddencatRNQuote from ~*Stargazer*~No, because in my limited experience, folks that don't "get it" are also the folks that would get a rise out of hearing something "exciting" like that, and I don't want to give them the enjoyment of a juicy bit of tragedy.Have any of you Emergency Nurses been completely candid with a not-sick patient about this?
I had a parent once who had brought her child in for some BS reason and was sitting near our trauma room when a pretty dramatic and loud trauma came in. The mom pulled her curtain open so she could watch the festivities. I pulled it closed a couple of times and she kept opening it to watch. When she was discharged she still complained about having to wait. It didn't sink in for her, that her entertainment had been the reason we were all too busy to care for her completely stable child who should have seen the pediatrician in the office.
I think telling them that it's a busy night, and the sickest patients are seen first is just fine. If that doesn't do it, I'm fine with letting them stew and be annoyed.

My new pattern Look Book!
Surtex is just around the corner — it's only 16 days away, which is the blink of an eye when there's much to be done. Last year, for my debut at Surtex, I did an online Look Book that got such an amazing response from people, that I simply had to do it again. It may seem as though I've gone look book crazy (I recently did one for my Grey Abbey fabric line with Cloud9) but hey, they just make sense! So, without further ado… my Surtex 2014 Look Book! Fake it till you make it, right?
Surtex first-timer tips!
So Surtex is just about 2 weeks away. I have butterflies just writing this — so exciting, so scary! I think back to last year when I was exhibiting for the first time and have to say that I'm a million times more chilled out about everything this year… once you have the experience, you know what to expect and it's a lot less scary. So, I thought I would share a few last minute tips for new exhibitors! Things that would have comforted me last year had I known, things that could come in handy, and a little reassurance. For the record, I am by no means a pro at this, like the fabulous Surtex guru Tara Reed, who is responsible for holding my hand last year via her super-informative Surtex e-books — but I think the first time is the hardest time, and seeing that it still feels quite fresh, I thought this might help someone out there.
Print your forms!
Okay, this is important — make sure you bring documentation of everything related to the show (or if you have access to it on a mobile device, that's fine too). Everything is probably going to go smoothly, but you just never know when something pops in and tries to mess with your flow, and you just want to make sure you're prepared. The show is run by GLM/Surtex, but the facilities are outsourced to the Javits — so there is a little room for error. Example: last year, I ordered a tall table (vs. the shorter table) for my booth, but when I arrived there was a short table at my booth. I thought, no problem — I'll just go find someone to replace it. But the Javits staff, while friendly, said their instructions showed I should have a short table. They said that they would swap it out for me, but that if I didn't have a record showing I'd booked the tall table, I would be charged a labour fee which was something crazy, like $300 or something. A bunch of people ran into this situation and LUCKILY, I had printed the confirmation and hopefully everyone else had too. Basically what I'm saying is, it never hurts to cover your arse. If you ordered shelves or special furniture — bring the confirmation, and the placement form for where you'd asked for things to be installed. Your registration badge confirmation — bring it. Basically any confirmations you received — bring it with you!
3M is your friend
So many Surtex exhibitors *swear* by 3M command strips, and I am one of them. They are incredible. I used 5 small command strips per banner and they weren't going anywhere. Plus, they're easy to pull off at the end and leave no markings — something to keep in mind, because you are responsible for leaving the booth walls in the same condition as when you started.
Bring cleaning supplies!
You've probably already thought about this, but it's a must! Last year I ordered shelves for my booth and they were in fine condition, but they were *filthy*. But they cleaned up just fine with some of those cleaning wipe thingies.
Last year I read that you couldn't stand on the chairs to hang banners, as a safety concern. And a legit one at that. But coming from Canada on a plane, I was wondering how the heck I was going to manage bringing a stool or ladder with me — I am short, so a small foot stool wasn't going to cut it for me. In the end, I left it at home and it all worked out just fine. Those chairs are sturdy… but please don't quote me on this.
Streamlined snacks!
This was another great tip from Tara Reed. If you're at your booth and starving, you don't want to be pulling out a big dish of spaghetti from under your booth to sneak a bite when nobody is looking. I had a few friends helping me last year, letting me go for lunch breaks and things, which was extremely helpful so I didn't really have to eat food at my booth. But sometimes after 5 hours of standing there, you're going to need to shove something in your mouth. I had some easy-to-eat snacks under my table, like nuts, dried fruit, crackers, grapes, small easy-to-eat things. It's like on Top Chef when they have to cater a gala and are told to prepare an amuse-bouche. If you must eat at your booth, you don't want to be caught eating awkward food.
Be prepared with your terms
Try to go into the show with your terms figured out — do you sell artwork or only license? Are you willing to do flat-rate licensing agreements or are you strictly about royalties? What are you willing to budge on for the right client? Last year, I had a ton of people ask if I sold my artwork outright and I was so new to the game that I wanted to make everyone happy and just didn't want to say 'no' to anyone. I still don't, and I will always try and make it work if it's someone that I want to work with — but if it's not a good fit, it's not a good fit. If you aren't particularly interested in the product category or don't see that working with a company will bring value to your business, don't back down and sell artwork. You've gotta look out for yourself. Don't compromise if you're not going to be happy with the deal. Try and go in with a clear vision of what you'd like to do and do you best to stick to it. It's good to think about this before the show so you're not caught off guard!
Be right back
This might be obvious, but just in case you didn't think of it (there are a million other things to think about). If you have to leave your booth to run to the washroom, and you don't have anyone there helping you, at least leave a sign saying you'll be back in 5 minutes. You don't want to lose out on that dream client who stopped by at an inopportune time. I swear, last year, every time I left my booth some awesome client would stop by and I'd curse the timing of it all… so it can happen.
Happy hour!
I haven't heard much about this but I think they do it every year — last year they had a happy hour thing after the show on Monday. Free drinks and the chance to chat with some other exhibitors. Also, there are usually some social events for Surtex exhibitors so keep your ears open in case there are. Last year I missed it but Monica Lee had hosted an event and lots of exhibitors went. A nice way to actually be able to chat with people — not so easy during show hours.
You made it! You really made it!
It was such a surreal experience walking into the Javits centre with all my booth supplies last year, trying to find the booth that I would call home for 3 days and had the opportunity to be a game-changer. Be proud of yourself for taking on the challenge, for getting there, for all of your super hard work. And enjoy it, savour every second. Greet every person that walks by with a welcoming smile. And remember to keep your chin up — there will be some slow periods, and your work won't be the best fit for every client that walks by, but keep your eye on the prize and focus on the good connections you've made. And the new friends you've made. And the fact that you made it to NYC and competed in an international marketplace for something that you're passionate about!
And then breathe…
I relied on adrenaline to keep me going through the show and keeping my energy levels up. Last year, I felt very much alive and excited about everything until 5pm on the last day, when the show officially closed, and I literally just dropped behind my booth and burst into tears. This might sound crazy, but it was just the whole experience coming to a close — a mix of joy and exhaustion. I was so happy, but I also felt my body breaking down and giving in. Give yourself a nice relaxing evening, a low key and healthy dinner, a good dose of vitamin C, and a good night's rest. And hopefully you have some time to enjoy the city before you ship out.
Best of luck at the show everyone! Looking forward to meeting you all, so soon!!
(I'm at booth 741!)
*****I got a few emails with other questions today so I thought I'd add them to the mix! *****
I didn't get electrical for my booth. I used an iPad to present my portfolio, and as long as I charged up the batteries before I left for the show in the morning, mine lasted all day long with no issue. Tara Reed mentioned that if you run out, you can use the exhibitor centre upstairs to grab some power if needed. But again, I didn't need it! But on the same topic… Last year I needed to iron some things, and had posted on the Surtex Linkedin group to see if there would be outlets. I was assured there would be some for us to use, but when I got there, the power source mentioned wasn't there. I went on a wild goose chase trying to find power and was told by the Javits staff that we weren't supposed to use it. We ended up sneaking around to make it happen, but this year, just to be safe, I'm just going to iron everything at the hotel!
Flame proofing
Ahhhh, the eternal issue of flameproofing! I don't think anyone is clear on this! But this is what I was told last year when I asked, and it's the same explanation this year. Basically, if you have fabric in your booth and it has your artwork on it — then you're all set. No need to flameproof. BUT if you have linens in your booth that don't have artwork on them, those should be flameproofed. Honestly, the rationale doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me — fire doesn't exactly discriminate — but I suppose it would be tricky for people to only show products that were flameproofed so they've made concessions. If in doubt, there are apparently special flame-proofing 'dips' you can use to dip your fabrics in and it flameproofs them but I didn't have luck tracking them down. But if the fabric has your artwork on it, you're good to go.
Grey Abbey Look Book!
Hey guys! I've been having a ton of fun with my new fabrics with Cloud9 — so much that I thought we should put together a little look book to show you, and hopefully inspire you to get sewing yourselves half as much as it inspired me.
I grew up sewing… My mum always used to sew clothes for us when my sister and I were kids and they always felt so special. She had tons of old sewing patterns that she'd kept from the 60s and 70s — I've always loved things from those years. Patterns for groovy baby doll dresses and bellbottoms, butterfly-collared tennis dresses, fun little mini skirts… I mean, I would wear all of those clothes even now. And so when I was about 12, I started sewing myself, and was sewing well into my 20s. I even had my own sewing business in my University dorm. My "clients" ranged from 19-year old guys who didn't know how to sew a button on, to girls who spent their loan money on expensive jeans and needed them hemmed, to my favourite client who was a raver guy and wanted to make a statement in the club scene. I sewed him a pair of gigantic orange fun fur pants, and another pair of silver vinyl pants with yellow racing stripes. I have no idea how he could dance in them, fun fur and vinyl aren't exactly breathable fabrics, but hey, that was none of my business. As life got busier and jobs took over my spare time, sewing took a back seat. But I've always known I'd go back to it. And what better motivator than to be able to sew with my own fabrics?
So, I'm happy to share with you my Grey Abbey Look Book. I had so much fun sewing! I'd like to give a shout out to the other awesome people that helped me put this together! First, Cloud9 Fabrics, who designed the super sweet tech cover, and the amazing quilt!! Next, a lovely sewist named Anne-Rose, who is an 80-year old Austrian lady that my mum introduced me to, who sewed all of the ladies dresses that I'm wearing (can't wait to show them off at Surtex!). And a big thank you to my amazing and talented friend Nicole Winer, who sewed up some darling dresses for her adorable daughter Frankie. Nicole is one of the most talented people that I know. She is a knitwear designer and all around crafty lady, and she never ceases to amaze me. So, a big giant thank you to them!
Take a look at the full look book, and I also included the pictures below it in case you wanted to Pin them to your sewing boards! Thanks for reading!
The Surtex countdown is on!
Oh my goodness, things really start to feel real and you understand just how close Surtex is when it's less than a month away. In less than 4 weeks, one of my very best friends and incredible sidekick Sam and I will be getting on a plane for NYC! So excited, but can't help but wish I could press the 'rewind' button so I could whip up the millions of patterns I have ideas for, but there will never be enough time so at some point, you have to make the call and get on that plane and put up your work for everyone to see. I'm super excited!!
I've moved booths this year but will be in the same aisle — booth 741. If you're going, please stop by and say hello! Here's a little sampling of what I'll be showing (plus a link to my promo video if you haven't seen it)! Hope you all have a great week.

Product goodies from Madison Park!
A little while ago I did a post announcing some of my new products with Madison Park Greetings, showcasing a few of their beautiful photos. But that was before I'd seen anything in person, and when I got my product samples, it was like Christmas! Licensing is a funny world… you work so hard on products for so long, and then… you wait. And wait. Because production takes a long time, it's just the way it works. After a while, it feels so abstract. You wait for months and months and by the time you start to wonder if it was all just a dream, a big box of goodies arrives on your doorstep and you want to jump for joy!
Working with Madison Park Greetings was another one of the big highlights of my 2013, and continues to be in 2014, with more yummy products in development. They're lovely, lovely people and I feel lucky to get to collaborate with so many people that just let me do my thing, support me through it and offer me only the best of feedback (which is extra helpful when you work in a bubble by yourself all day). And — they let me use GOLD FOILS!!! DREAM! I hope you can see how natural it was to work with them when you see these products. I'm so proud of these little numbers and I hope you like 'em too. There are tons of greeting cards, boxed note sets, an adorable keepsake box, washi tapes, iPhone covers, paperweights and magnets from iPops, invitations, mix bag sets, stickers, gift wrap, and a 2015 calendar that I'll share closer to next year.
Interested in picking some of these up?
You can buy them in indendant gift shops, or you can buy online here!
Follow me on Instagram!
Instagram is my JAM! I'm always posting new pics of new work and products, so follow me if you're interested!
Grey Abbey is here!
Hi everyone, and happy St Patricks Day! It's been a while since I've posted but really, this is the most appropriate follow-up to my last post, which was about being rejected by a fabric company because my fabric line, Grey Abbey, with Cloud9 Fabrics has arrived! Which coincidentally, is named after a village in Ireland. More on that below.
The concept of having fabrics with my prints, even after working on the collection for what felt like ages, seemed so abstract. So when that big box full of fabric bolts arrived, it was surreal. I opened up the box and unwrapped the first bolt, and I just started crying these tears of pure joy — what can I say, I'm a sap. I just sat there with the first bolt for a little while trying to savour that feeling. Then I proceeded to open up the next (tears) and the next (more tears) until I'd gone through all 12 beautiful bolts and could see the full collection as a whole, and man, did it feel good. The collection has been hanging out in my studio across from my desk so I can admire them and I had to force myself to start cutting them up for projects this weekend, it was hard to let go of those perfect bolts, but they are preserved in these photos below, and will be turned into many beautiful things, which is the whole point, after all.
The collection is printed on organic cotton and it feels sooooo good. The collection is named after a village in Ireland called Grey Abbey. My mum is Irish and I've been to Ireland many times, and I've always felt very connected to it. Trips to my grandmother's house always felt quite magical — she collects antiques and the last time I was there I took a ton of pictures which inspired this collection. I've shared some pictures of the fabrics below. You can also see the gorgeous Ribbon Box quilt that Cloud9 made. Overall, just so thrilled to share this! (And can't wait to share the next collection, which ships in the fall!)
If you're interested in getting your hands on the fabrics, look for / ask for them in your local modern quilting shops — and if they don't have them, you can find them pretty easily online. A great online shop called Gooba Designs is stocking them, as is Hawthorne Threads, and a bunch of others too. The collection has already been featured in a few magazines, like Pretty Patches and Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, both of which are beautiful publications based out of the UK. As for me, I've re-acquired the sewing bug and can't wait to sew up some goodies with these.
Thanks for sharing this journey with me, you guys! Nice to share this with the people that have been cheering me on from the sidelines. xo
Try, try again
I recently came across a letter I'd received from a fabric company about a year ago. I'd been reaching out to some companies that I thought my work might be a good fit for. And while I had my top picks for dream companies, I was also aware that dreams don't happen overnight, so I was hoping to just get fabrics *somewhere* and that maybe it would get my foot in the door. One of the options was a company that required I send a package in the mail, and a few months later received, if I might say, I rather snarky rejection letter. Essentially the letter said (and I'm paraphrasing, but not by much) that my work brought nothing new to the table, and that I'd essentially wasted their time. While I appreciated the personal reply, part of me almost wished that I'd never received it… it was so negative and unfriendly, and for some, could have been a dream killer. It wasn't my dream company, so I decided I better not let it crush my dreams. So the other day when I came across this letter, while working on my second collection for Cloud9 Fabrics (which, by the way, *was* at the top of my dream list), a whole bunch of emotions came up for me. It made me realize how much has happened in the past year. And how happy I am about it all. And how glad I am that I didn't listen to that letter or let it alter my path.
I just wanted to write this post because sometimes it's hard to keep your chin up when things don't seem to be going anywhere. You submit, submit, submit… and feel lucky if you even get a reply. Sometimes it all just seems pointless, when you're investing soooo much of your time and your heart into something, and hoping your dreams come true, and nothing is happening. You start to think your work isn't good enough. I just wanted to share this story as a reminder to always try and keep your chin up. To persevere and keep at it and use that rejection as fuel to do better. And if at first you fail, then try, try again. And then when you reach one of your goals, you can feel a little extra proud of how far you've come.
New products with Madison Park Greetings
One of the highlights of my 2013 was working with Madison Park Greetings, a really artist-focused Seattle-based company whose products I always noticed in nice gift and card shops. I was so excited when I worked on my first greeting card for them, and then that turned into a few more, then more, and then into all sorts of fun gift products, most of which have just launched on January 1st. I'm so excited to show you the first instalment of my new products with them, which includes gift wrap (dream come true!!), washi tapes (ahhh!) and the cutest little gift bag-and-sticker set. I mean, what a dream!
I'll leave you with a few photos of these new products (click to see larger), and there are many more to come! I'll share as they become available. Wishing you all a joy-filled, inspiring and fulfilling 2014!
Quite literally on Cloud9
It's been a long time coming, and I'm so happy to finally announce my fabric line with Cloud9 Fabrics!! Do you know how hard it's been to hold these cards close to my chest and keep it on the down low? VERY. But the collection debuted at Quilt Market this past weekend, and so I can make it official. Big yay!
I've been dreaming of having a fabric line, and have admired Cloud9 Fabrics for a long time. I had my heart set on working with them, they sat at the top of my list of 'dream clients' and so when we signed on to work together I was over the moon! Like my face hurt from smiling so much. Their fabrics feature artists like Lisa Congdon, Eloise Renouf, Heather Moore of Skinny Laminx, Rae Hoestra, the very talented Creative Director of Cloud9 herself, Michelle Engel Bencsko… and so many more! So I'm totally stoked to be included in such an incredible group of artists.
For now, here's the little emblem for the collection which is called Grey Abbey, and is named after a small town in Ireland, close to where my mum grew up. Ireland holds a very special place in my heart, and many of my patterns are based on the antiques that my grandmother has in her beautiful home there. So I thought the title quite fitting. The collection features a really nice mix of tossed and structured florals with some vintage flare, in two colour ways, and I can't wait to show you… soon! The collection will be hitting the market in early 2014 — stay tuned for more updates!
As always, thank you all for the support, it's so very appreciated!

FinePix 6900 Zoom is Fujifilms newest digital camera production. While sharing the same stylish look and control layout with its predecessor (the FinePix 4900 Zoom), the 6900 Zoom has improved on some critical features and specifications. Lets take a look at its impressive specs:Specs

Box Contents
Like most other digital cameras, the FinePix 6900 Zoom ships with a delightfully comprehensive manual. Im impressed, however, that while its easy enough to understand for beginner photographers, its detailed to the point that can keep hardcore professionals interested. For instance, to get beginners familiarized with the basic components and their functions, clearly labelled diagrams and a table of operation modes are depicted in the first few pages of booklet. On the other hand, in-depth explanations of special features and functions and introduction to new technologies never bore the gurus.
One thing I like in particular about this manual is that effective warnings and informative footnotes are everywhere. Theres nothing worse than erasing all your memorable photos for doing something stupid like pulling the SmartMedia out without turning off the power of the camera. Of course, thats just an example; a safety is implemented in the camera to prevent that from happening.
Like the owners manual, the quick start guides are very detailed and informative. The software guide is a 85 page handbook. It has all the information that can help the subtlest person to get the software running on a Windows or Macintosh based system. And of course, theres a troubleshooting section at the end of the booklet to help you solve some problems by yourself. The other quick guide is a sheet of paper that points out all the parts and buttons on the camera (with numbers referring to pages on the owners manual) and instructs you on how to take your first picture.
The included software CD contains all the useful drivers and applications youll need to access and edit your photos. The USB drivers allow connections with the recent members of the Windows family (compatible with as old as Windows98) and Macintosh system 8.6 and above. While the drivers are pretty much universal, most of the bundled applications, except the FinePixViewer, are for Windows only. The FinePixViewer is basically the cameras version of Windows Explorer. It allows you to browse the data inside your camera, as well as your other storage devices, view photos in thumbnail and blown-up scales, set the DPOF of your photos, and use the camera as a PC-Cam for video conferencing, just to name a few of its features. You get the idea of the usefulness of this program ;). There is a few things this neat little program (only about 6MB) doesnt address, however, so Fujifilm completes the package with two Adobe products ActiveShare and PhotoDeluxe.
The two Adobe products seem to have many overlapping features. Some examples are that both can share photos on the Web and through email, fix photos, and make postcards. So why need both of them? Its the few extra functions in each application that make the difference. ActiveShare allows better organization by sorting photos into different electronic albums, while PhotoDeluxe offers more powerful editing tools to repair and customize your photos. The nice thing about them is that all their functions can be fired up in just a few clicks.
The package contains a good selection of accessories. The inclusion of a rechargeable battery is a great idea. A rechargeable battery will save you a great deal of money for the long run, though it costs more than non-rechargeable ones in the beginning. Another advantage of todays rechargeable batteries is that they usually provide longer hours of operation. Speaking of long hours of operation, the AC power adapter is a great asset if you do a lot of indoor photographing. Once the adapter is plugged into a power outlet, your only limit will be the length of the adapter wire. Well, you got to give some to take some, right? ;P
OK, lets say youve fully charged your battery and youve taken a few pictures. Now what do you want to do next? You want to be able to view your photos on a relatively bigger screen than the LCD display or send red-eyed photos to your PC for editing, right? You can do so by using the video and USB cables. The video cable allows you view your photos or videos on any TV that has a video-in RCA connector. Good for watching videos, but not so for photos because of the poor quality (except for HDTVs, I suppose :)). To establish a connection with your PC, an USB cable is used. One very nice thing about the USB connection is that its hot-pluggable, meaning you dont have to shut down your computer every time you connect or disconnect your camera.
The only letdown here is the inclusion of only 16MB of memory. Let alone the fact that 16MB of memory is minimal these days, for a camera of this quality, that amount of storage wont take you very far. A picture at the highest quality and resolution wont even fit on an empty 16MB SmartMedia card. I would really like to see a 64MB or 128MB card, instead.
As seen in the photos, the FinePix 6900 Zoom is a slick looking camera. The casing is made of a combination of sleek magnesium and high quality rubber. At 410g (14.5oz) without the battery, this camera is best suited for people who travel a lot or who simply hate weight. Despite of its lightweight, this camera still gives a feeling of quality and sturdiness.There are two ways of handling the camera. In auto mode, this camera can be operated single-handedly. Because of its lightweight and ergonomic design, one can just grab on the hand grip that wraps around the battery. On the other hand, if you are a more professional photographer who prefers manual operations, youll need both hands to make good use of all the cool functions of the device.
Unlike other digital cameras (or even some hardware devices), the FinePix 6900 Zoom has fairly secured covers for its compartments. During the entire testing period, I have not encountered any untimely opening. There are three compartments, locate on the left side, the right side, and at the bottom, and they house the I/O panel, the SmartMedia, and the battery.
Again, the I/O panel is behind a very secured cover. It is, however, not very convenient or easily accessible. It is located right below the strap mount and whenever it needs to be accessed, the shoulder strap and lens cap cord have to be moved aside or lifted to give way. On the good side of things, one usually dont open and close that compartment frequently. The I/O panel consists of the USB connector, the video output, and the AC adapter connector.
The viewfinder is made of soft rubber so that it doesnt hurt your eye when pressed against it, although that doesnt happen a lot because the EVF (electronic viewfinder) is clear enough to be seen from about an inch away. The brightness of the display can be adjusted easily through an internal menu.
There are lots of buttons on this unit, and each carries out one or more functions (usually with combination of the shift button). While using the viewfinder, I find that some buttons are more easily accessible than others. For instance, the telephoto and wide-angle (zoom-in and out, respectively) are well-placed on the left side of the unity near the manual focus dial. The shapes of the two buttons create a nice fitting for the thumb, thus it becomes natural to place the thumb on it all the time. On the other hand, however, the arrow buttons are a bit tougher to locate when using the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen. I would prefer them to be moved next to the DISP and OK buttons. This problem can be solved by using the LCD display. In fact, thats what I ended up using most of the time because its much more convenient. But then, of course, I had to sacrifice my battery life
Many of todays new digital cameras have built-in video and audio recording functions. Unfortunately, this model has only got the former. OK, here comes an interesting question. How often do people actually shoot silent videos? Alright, maybe they do. Let me rephrase my question. How many people who shoot silent videos enjoy watching them? Not many, I would assume. It would have been MUCH better if audio recording were also included. A minor complaint, though, since this is a camera not a camcorder :P.
One of the neatest things about this unit is that it has included a hot shoe for external flashes in addition to its built-in flash. This gives users more flexibility and control over their needs. Using the external flash is simple, just close the built-in flash, mount the external flash on the hot shoe, and set the external flash option in the internal menu to on then its ready to go. It may sound like a little thing, but its always all the little things that account for a great gadget.
Photo Quality
There are a total of 9 combinations of 4 resolution settings and 4 image quality modes. The following table shows all the possible combinations and their approximate file sizes:
(*Note: The HI quality uses the TIFF (uncompressed) file format instead of JPEG. Because only a 16MB SmartMedia was provided, this setting couldnt be tested.)
Alright, lets start off by comparing two (almost) identical images at the same resolution but different quality settings. The one on the left was taken at FINE quality, which was essentially the best setting available, and the on the right was taken at BASIC. Both photographs were taken at around noon on a bright, sunny day. At normal proportion, the two images look almost identical.
However, if we take a look at the 300% zoomed-in images below, youll notice a huge difference in the sharpness of the puzzle edges and smoothness of the color pixels. As you can see, the blown-up low-res picture has become all blocky. Compression is totally accountable for this degradation. Im impressed with the FINE quality image, however. Even though a little bit blurred, the image is still relatively smooth considering its been magnified 300 times.
While the photographs above were taken at the highest resolution, Im including a VGA one just for the sake of comparison. Im not showing a magnified version for obvious reasons.
The following pictures were taken on a cloudy day + some shower. I was going on a boat cruise, so expect to see a lot of the sea. :]
The main focus of the picture is the rainbow at the background. I was worried that the rainbow wouldnt show up as nice on the computer as on the LCD, but I was over worried. Special attention should be paid to the surrounding buildings and objects. The edges are sharp and colors are bright. This is a good example of the power of this camera.
This is a quick picture that I took before I boarded the cruising boat. The red and white colors of the tower stand out very nicely.
This is one of my favourite pictures. One of the reasons being that it reminds me of the intro of the Simpsons :P.
A romantic sunset view! This photograph was taken on the boat so it looks a little bit blurry, but its still a great photograph nonetheless.Conclusion
Despite all the downsides mentioned above, this is one helluva camera. It has got tons of features (just trying to fool around and get familiar with all of them can take days) and superb image quality. At as high as six million pixels, an entire photo can be printed at A4 size and still not loose its quality. Moreover, its stylish look and sturdy frame along with the lightweight make it an excellent choice for frequent travellers.
The most significant drawback of this camera is that it comes with only a 16MB SmartMedia card; its not enough even for a single image at the highest quality of the highest resolution. To just have a look at what this camera offers at its best setting, users are forced to upgrade their memory card to at least 32MB. That is definitely a gripe. In addition to that, the lack of audio recording is also a significant drawback. All of these aside, however, the FinePix 6900 Zoom is a wonderful device that you want to show off to your friends and possibly your enemies. Once again, Fujifilm has made an excellent product.

Diversify and prosperPUBLISHED: 21 Feb 2014 05:41:17 | UPDATED: 21 Feb 2014 05:41:17PUBLISHED: 21 Feb 2014 PRINT EDITION: 21 Feb 2014
Retiree Peter Swain ("Pensioners need not fear the big four", AFR Letters, February 19) asks some good questions. His reaction to falling interest rates is a typical one.
Self-managed super funds, in particular, rely on the continuing success of the big four banks for income, as well as for growth.
As trustees of an SMSF, Peter and his wife have an obligation to have an investment strategy and to ensure that strategy considers the appropriate risk, return and liquidity. Exposing the majority of your retirement assets to just a few financial institutions could be at odds with the concept of proper diversification.
While the likelihood of default is extremely low for a big four bank, trustees may be loading investments into their portfolio that they believe are very defensive but that do not behave that way when they are needed most.

Nice Daily Wear

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my daily wear shoes for the winter here in Oregon. Waterproof and when paired with shell pants, they keep me dry biking to work. I like the fit and the support, though they could be a little lighter. I'm impressed with the wear as well, since I spend a large amount of my time on rough floors in our shop. Full Disclosure, I got these through participation in the Gore MountainTechs project, but I'd be willing to buy a second pair when they finally wear out.

Major U.S. railroads and the United Transportation Union, reached a tentative five-year contract agreement that runs through December 2014.
The accord, which modifies the current national agreement, is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2010 and covers about 38,000 UTU workers. It must be ratified by membership of each affected UTU craft, but the existing national contract remains in force until then.
The two sides declined to release terms of their accord. The UTU said it will give details to its general chairpersons, who will then have 15 days to submit questions in writing. Those questions and answers will be made available to union members before they vote.
It is the first major rail union agreement reached in the current cycle, so its terms would be expected to establish the pattern for others.
The National Carriers' Conference Committee, which negotiated for the railroads, said the two sides reached their accord on April 21, although both announced the deal today.
The NCCC represented about 30 lines including Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF Railway, Norfolk Southern Railway, CSX Transportation, Kansas City Southern Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway's Soo Line.

|I have a brown turkey in my backyard, and I am thinking of planting one more fig tree.
My kids like sweet, so I am looking for a sweet specie with honey flavor that can do well in zone 6 (Washington DC suburb).
I searched previous posts on this forum and found that LSU gold or Brooklyn white might be a good choice for me. Are they indeed sweeter than Brown Turkey according to your experience? Any other possible choice for me? Any suggestions or comments would be really appreciated.
Follow-Up Postings:
|A Celeste fig is very sweet. I had the pleasure of trying a few this summer. They are like eating sugar, so I think your kids would really like those. There is a tree growing in Pittsburgh, PA that is never covered and it's about 12 to 14 feet tall and about that wide. Hope to get cuttings from it soon.
- Posted by fignewbies 5 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 10, 12 at 19:37
I had heard from other members of Italian fig
|Thanks for your kind reminder, fignewbies. I will make sure my kids take care of their teeth after enjoying figs. :-))
|According to previous discussions on this board on similar topics, LSU Golden Celeste and Dan's Cajun Honey Fig are probably the sweetest figs out there. I will try to buy these if I could find a supplier, and plant them in pots.
|Most figs, when properly ripened will be very sweet.
In Zone-6 which will have a very short ripening season... a grower needs to select the varieties that will most likely ripen in August, into early-September. The sweetest variety grown in the wrong area will yield disappointing figs.
"Atreano" is a very good short-summer fig. Its large, sweet, prolific, dependable, vigorous, and fairly easy to find.
Those in Zone-6...don't waste your time with long-season, heat/sun loving varieties. Zone-6 will never be Southern California.
Happy hunting.

|Frank AKA BronxFigs is right on.
I have four varieties here in Florida, and I give cuttings away for free, but they would all fail way up north. Cold hardy varieties are the way to go for you. Choosing climate-appropriate varieties is key to long-term happiness for all growers.
Also figs, ripened to the drooping point, are always at their sweetest.
Note: I am getting several figs a day now, in mid-November, here in Florida. No way that these trees would give figs up north, being late-season trees.
|Frank and budbackeast, Thanks for the kind suggestions!
Yes, I agree that I should go for hardy and early-ripen varieties. I will probably try Brooklyn White Fig.
- Posted by robert_2007 5b/6a (My Page) on Mon, Nov 12, 12 at 13:07
|Brooklyn white is one of the figs in our cold hardy fig test plots. It appears to be to late for our area
It has not performed that well here in our 5b/6a part of Connecticut. I'm considering pulling it out or top working it to a more early ripening fig like Marseilles Black VS or Danny's Delight. Danny's delight out performed Marseilles Black VS, this year, 2012.
We are growing and testing for cold hardiness and other attributes needed to successfully grow cold hardy figs in the north, Brooklyn White, Danny's Delight, Hardy Chicago, Hardy Hartford, Ronde de Bordeaux, Sal's Corleone, Sal's EL, Abruzzi, Hanc's English Brown Turkey, LaRadek's English Brown Turkey, Atreano, Kathleen's Black, Bayernfeige Violetta, Gino's, Rocco, and others.
The sweetest fig we have in our collection of maybe 20 or so figs is Bayernfeige Violetta. It is so sweet we have to cover it with mosquito netting to keep the flies off of it.
Plus, it needs extensive management to grow it in the north. Because it is ever bearing we have to remove 75% to 80% of the fruit around July 15th, to avoid having a tree full of green fruit, when frost comes. But, we still end up with over 100 fruit on the tree.
Bob zone 5b/6a Connecticut
|Bob, thanks for your very helpful information.
I'll try Bayernfeige Violetta. I searched a bit and found this variety may have another name "Violet Bavaria?
I live in Washington DC suburb, so hopefully Bayernfeige Violetta figs have enough time to ripen before the first frost day.
It seems that my backyard will soon be packed with various Fig trees. Hope my wife won't complain...

Yusmeiro Petit combined with three relievers on a four-hitter as Arizona beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 to win a road series for the first time in over a month.
Petit limited the Cubs to three hits over six innings to even his mark at 2-2. He was making his fifth start of the season, and his fourth since replacing the injured Randy Johnson in the rotation.
Mark Reynolds put the D-Backs ahead with an RBI single in the top of the first. Chris Snyder added a solo shot in the seventh before Conor Jackson hit a run-scoring double later in the inning.
Sean Marshall pitched well enough to win, allowing a run and five hits in six innings. Marshall is 4-4.
Jose Valverde got the last three outs for his 30th save.
The loss drops the Cubs 3.5 behind the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers.

† Appearances (Goals).
João Alves de Assis Silva (born 20 March 1987), known as Jô (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʒo]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker.
He has previously played for Corinthians, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, Everton, Galatasaray and Internacional. Jô made his full international debut for Brazil in 2007, and was in the squads which took bronze at the 2008 Olympics and won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, and also played at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Club career[edit]
Born in São Paulo, Jô played for Brazilian side Corinthians during the years of 2003–2005. He made 54 appearances scoring 23 goals. In 2005 he was transferred to Russian club CSKA Moscow.
CSKA Moscow[edit]
Jô scored 14 goals in his first 18 appearances for CSKA Moscow. In the UEFA Champions League, Jô scored two goals in the matches against Inter Milan, one being in a dramatic 4–2 loss at the San Siro. Altogether Jô appeared in 77 games for CSKA Moscow, scoring 44 goals.
Manchester City[edit]
On 31 July 2008, Manchester City signed Jô for an undisclosed value thought to be worth about £19 million, which would have been club record transfer for the club at the time, but it was later revealed that the deal was actually worth £6m with the fee inflated by Thaksin for publicity reasons.[3] He scored just one league goal in 4 matches for Manchester City, against Portsmouth,[4] and also scored a brace in the UEFA Cup against Omonia Nicosia.[5] Jô found it difficult to establish himself in the City team and featured in just 6 games at the start of the 2008–09 season.
Jô joined Everton on loan in February 2009, until the end of the 2008–09 season.[6] He made his debut at Goodison Park against Bolton Wanderers, scoring twice in a 3–0 win.[7] He finished the season with five goals from twelve league appearances, though missed out on Everton's run to the 2009 FA Cup Final as he was cup-tied after playing the last 20 minutes of Manchester City's third round defeat to Nottingham Forest.[8]
He returned to Manchester City at the end of the season,[9][10] but re-joined Everton on a season-long loan for 2009–10,[11] with the option of a permanent move at the end of that period.[12][13] His first competitive goal in the loan spell was scored against AEK Athens in a Europa League group game, which Everton went on to win 4–0.[14][15][16] After returning to Brazil without permission over the Christmas period, Everton manager David Moyes suspended him for a breach of conduct.[17]
After the breach of conduct at Everton, he returned to Manchester City and was loaned to Galatasaray on the very same day.[18] He scored three goals during his loan spell at Galatasaray.
He returned to Manchester City after his loan spell at Galatasaray expired. Jô scored in his first game back against Portland Timbers and was also successful in further pre-season friendlies against New York Red Bulls, Borussia Dortmund and Valencia CF respectively. He then went on to score in the Europa League win against Salzburg[19] and in the League Cup loss to West Bromwich Albion,[20] his fourth and fifth goals for the club.
On 21 November 2010 Jô made a rare start for Manchester City in his team's 4–1 win over Fulham. Jô also featured in Manchester City's 3–1 win away to West Ham before Christmas and scored City's only goal in a 1–1 draw with Juventus in the UEFA Europa League.
Sport Club Internacional[edit]
On 20 July 2011, following a disappointing spell at Manchester City, only scoring six goals in 41 appearances, Jô decided to return to Brazil and join Sport Club Internacional.
Atlético Mineiro[edit]
In May 2012, Jô signed with fellow Brazilian side Atlético Mineiro, where he formed a striking partnership with Ronaldinho. He won the Campeonato Mineiro and helped the club win its first Copa Libertadores title in 2013.[21]
On 4 November 2014, Jô was released from the club because of indiscipline.[22]
International career[edit]
Jô received his first call-up to the Brazil national football team in May 2007 and was in the squad to play against England, but did not play. He then made his international debut in a friendly against Turkey, in June 2007 aged 20.
On 7 June 2013, Jô was called to replace Leandro Damião for 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, who was withdrawn from the original squad due to an injury.[23] In the opening match on 15 June 2013, he scored his first international goal in a 3–0 victory over Japan. He then scored his second goal for Brazil against Mexico on 19 June 2013.
Jô was selected in the Brazilian squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He made his first appearance in the competition in the second group game, coming on for the last 22 minutes in place of Fred in a goalless draw with Mexico. He made another substitute appearance for the same player in the Round of 16 match against Chile, and played the full 90 minutes of the third-place play-off defeat to the Netherlands.

The Denver Nuggets are making 69.9 percent of their free throws. Which is not good, even if there are two teams that are worse (Charlotte and Detroit, thank you Andre Drummond). Coach Brian Shaw was using his head trying to come up with ways to get the team to shoot better from the stripe, when…

The Extra Pass: Boxed out and Thursday's Recaps
Nov 8, 2013, 8:00 AM EST
You probably already know what I'm going to say about Shane Battier before I even say it.

It's been a long-standing feud between Battier and the box score, really, but it's a feud that Battier…

comfort care? - page 2
I am anew RN grad that finally found a job at a SNF. My acute care training didn't provide me with LTC experience regarding "comfort care". I would appreciate any advice for my situation. I have a resident that has had all... Read More

I have learned over the years that sometimes the best way to get things like this done is to have the request originate from the family,then you are out of the line of fire from peers and other depts.
