Q: Can you REALLY make money selling T-shirts online?
A: YES! Is it easy? No way. It does take hard work if you want to make a business out of it. Can you get lucky and simply dream up the next "big thing" and have it take off without any work? Sure. But do not count on it.
Q: How much "hard work" are you talking about?
A: If you want to do it full time you should consider putting in at least as much work as you would a regular job (i.e. at least 40 hours per week). If you are just looking to supplement your income I'd say you need to be able to commit at a minimum 20 hours a week to selling t-shirts for profit on the internet. Personally I put in a lot more than that.
Q: Ok, seriously, how much money do YOU make?
A: Enough to keep realizing that selling t-shirts on line is a serious way to make money. Realize that I also work a full time "regular" job as an engineer so if I am going to spend hours working at selling t-shirts I have to be making a comparable amount doing that to what I would make if I worked extra hours for my boss. And engineers are not cheap.
Q: How do I sell t-shirts on the internet?
A: The best way is to set up with one of the many "one-off" producers around the internet. I personally use Cafepress because in my experience they are hands down the best for this purpose in terms of product selection, quality, user interface, and features. But there are also other companies including Zazzle and Spreadshirt.
Q: What will this cost me?
A: Most of these sites have free memberships. What they do is allow you to upload your designs to their galleries and then they do all of the heavy lifting in terms of providing a showcase for your designs, printing the shirts, shipping and order handling. Some sites like Cafepress (again my personal favorite) have "premium" memberships that cost a few dollars a month and give access to additional features like customizable home pages, additional product selection, etc. These costs are usually so small that one or two sales a month would cover it.
Q: How do I make money if someone else is selling my design?
A: These sites pay you a commission based on the price of product that is sold containing your design. Some of these sites let you set your own "markup" and some also offer volume bonuses as well. Then usually every month they send you check if you exceed whatever minimum amount is set for them to justify sending you a check. If you don't reach that minimum amount, do not worry. They will send you a check as soon as you gain enough sales to qualify.
Q: Can I really compete with brick and mortar stores selling t-shirts on the internet? I hear some of the prices I have to charge are higher!
A: The answer is yes, you can easily compete with the Wal-Marts of the world selling brand name merchandise at rock bottom prices because you are not selling that stuff. What you are selling is unique (at least they better be unless you have all sorts of Copyright and licensing agreements) designs that people cannot buy anywhere else.
Q: What kind of designs sell?
A: You'd be surprised. Basically anything will sell that you can dream up from t-shirts with slogans to full color murals. Just remember however that simple designs can become wildly popular but if they are just a shirt that says "bite me" in Arial lettering there is little is stopping someone else from making it cheaply themselves.
Q: What if I don't have any artistic ability? How can I design and sell t-shirts?
A: Well, you have two options. You could find a friend who does have some artistic ability and knows how to use graphic design software and go into business together. Or maybe you could just open what are known as "affiliate" shops. Cafepress, for example, lets you sell other people's merchandise and earn 20% on all sales.
Q: Ok, how much is Cafepress paying you to schlep their services?
A: Nothing. I am simply one of their most successful shopkeepers generating plenty of sales each month to warrant a nice check from them. I believe in their business model and they have helped me generate extra cash so I just really, really, really like them as a company.
Q: Do I need to start my own official business to sell t-shirts online?
A: The laws in each state are different so I would suggest consulting an attorney. There are certainly advantages to making the business official by forming it into a partnership or corporation or what have you but generally it is not necessary. But be aware that if you make money selling t-shirts you are looking at having to pay taxes on that money.
Q: What about selling t-shirts offline? Can I make money doing that?
A: Sure, but there are generally higher costs involved. For example, you would have to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars to have stock preprinted, possibly the cost associated with keeping a brick and mortar store front, etc. It can be done however.

Book City: How 'Cloud Atlas' inspired author Jonathan Evison
Novelist Jonathan Evison won his second Pacific Northwest Book Award last week for "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving", set here in the Northwest. A former punk rocker, comedy show writer, and caregiver himself, Evison lives and writes on Bainbridge island.
Valerie Easton: What books are lying open on your nightstand right now?
Jonathan Evison: "Big Ray" by Michael Kinball and "Class: A Guide Through the American Status System," by Paul Fussell. The Kinball book is about a guy dealing with the death of his father, and it's a real shelf-talker, a gorgeous object of a book. The Fussell book is because I'm gestating a big novel about class divisions in America.
Have you read any truly great books lately?
"Mr. Peanut" by Adam Ross, and "Beautiful Ruins" by Jess Walter.
What makes them so recommendable?
These two writers have so much voice… The timbre and tone of their voices is so good. The books are more than just great stories, although they're that too.
Congratulations on winning a 2013 Pacific Northwest Book Award for "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving" What's next?
Well, I recently finished a novel called "The Dreamlife of Huntington Sales," which is kind of a beast, structurally and thematically. I'm letting this one sit for a year or so, before I take a final run at it. Now I'm working on a novel called "Harriet Chance," which is about an eighty-seven year old widow who takes an Alaskan cruise with her dead husband. I'm really having fun writing this book, and I can't wait to get it in the hands of my readers.
"The Revised Fundamentals" is a such a guy's book…..
It appeals to women though, because the theme is masculinity and crisis and every woman is an expert on that….
Your eighty-seven year old widow In "Harriet Chance" — what was more of a challenge? Writing a female main character, or one that's twice as old as you are?
One isn't harder than the other if I'm doing my job. Once I climb inside of a character, it's all empathy and imagination. That's why I do this….it's an empathetic window for me.
Which of the books you've written is closest to your heart? Why?
I did an awful lot of emotional dredging for "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving" — so much that the act of writing the book was cathartic. I don't like talking about some of the stuff, which is why I wrote the novel. The fictive lens gives me a little distance to work with. I wrote an essay for the paperback, which killed me to write.
(The essay is called "Filling Holes", and you can find it on Jonathan's web page.)
Can you talk a bit about how your reading informs your writing? Have any of your books been sparked by something you've read?
Well, David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas" was an inspiration to me when I undertook "West of Here." I love it when writers swing for the fences. Mitchell's big ambitions were contagious. After I read the book, I knew I wanted to write a world-beater.
You mention local locations and scenes in "Revised Fundamentals." Does living on Bainbridge Island influence your work, do you think?
One thing I love about living on the island is that I grew up here, so my roots run deep in this place and I know virtually everybody. The Bainbridge community has been so incredibly supportive of me throughout my career as a writer, that I feel like I've got a homefield advantage that none of my writer friends in Brooklyn enjoy. Eagle Harbor Book Company is family for me.
You wrote, produced and hosted the comedy show "Shaken, Not Stirred," and your work has been lauded for its offbeat humor. Do you have favorite comic writers or read humorous titles?

>> Click Here if you are looking for best affordable VPN in China service.
It does not matter whether you are travelling in China for a short period of time, or stay in China for work, you may consider join the service of VPN in China.
It is commonly known that Chinese government gains more and more control over the Internet, and build a number of firewall to filter unwanted information and data to/from China. Many of the famous websites that maybe sensitive to Chinese politics are blocked. For example Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many foreign newspapers. Although many people are not political sensitive and simply access to the Internet for business marketing, research and studies, the Chinese firewall are blocking a lot of websites, large or small, and information access are quite limited in China.
What is VPN in China
VPN is a protocol that encrypted your data from your PC/Mac to the server. By using the technology, you can connect some VPN server outside China and request the server to access the information you want, on behalf of you. And the data will be encrypted and passed back to you. Thats mean you can access almost any blocked website by using VPN in China. For instance, you can make use of VPN in China to view certain blocked YouTube videos in China.
Recommended VPN in China
Not all VPN services could be accessible in China. The most stable and famous one called HMA VPN is currently blocked in China. I am not sure HMA VPN could be unblocked soon or not. At the time being, I am using Pure VPN which is around $10 per month. Pure VPN is currently untouched and still remain strong in VPN in China market.

Man held in jail
on theft charges
BENNINGTON An Arlington man is being held in jail after being accused of taking two cartons of cigarettes from a Manchester store March 27 and some miscellaneous items from an Arlington doctors office March 9.
Benjamin S. Payne, 32, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court this week on a felony charge of burglary and two misdemeanor charges of petty larceny.
Payne pleaded innocent Monday but at a hearing Tuesday, defense attorney Lucy McCarthy said her client would not object to being held in prison because the Department of Corrections revoked his furlough.
Police said Payne took some tourniquets and needles from Arlington Family Practice on March 9. The combined value of the items was about $1.50, police said
Payne was also accused of taking two cartons of cigarettes and going through an employees handbag at Maplefields store in Manchester on March 27. He was charged with burglary because police said he entered an area of the store not open to the public.
Police said the incident at Maplefields was recorded by the stores video surveillance system.
Payne was charged Friday as a habitual offender, which allows a judge to sentence him to up to life in prison if hes convicted. Payne has previous felony convictions for escaping from furlough, burglary and identity theft.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full StoryPolice are looking for a hit-and-run driver.

There are a few Numbers and a Karmic Lesson that I've been paying close attention to for a couple years. Number 19 and Karmic Lesson 5 which means a person is missing the letters E, N and W in their birth name.
Of course I need more validation, no problem I'm also a person that relentlessly tries to verify the numbers, my intuition.
While counseling someone last year, my intuition told me that a missing 5 meant that the person lived in a small town or on a small island. Much to my surprise the traveler validated this fact and again this year, I validated my intuition with American Idol top 7 finalists, Phillip Phillips. Apparently Phillips is from Leesburg a small city in Lee County, Georgia with an approximate population of 2,965.
Judging by the numbers this is a great opportunity for Phillips to determine if life as an entertainer is right for him or if he should put his Industrial Systems Technology degree to good use back at home. Seeing he has a Karmic Lesson 5, Phillips preference is to stay close to home, where he's comfortable. Nevertheless the Universe has afforded him a great opportunity to strengthen his character by overcoming his weakness, he's already taken the first step, he's on the west coast competing. A Karmic Lesson 5 suggests he's unable to accept change, dislikes crowds, has limited life experiences and could be very jealous.
If you have a major 5 in your Blueprint or a Pinnacle or Life Cycle 5, the weakened energy can easily be build up. 5 is rarely ever totally diluted. Even with missing E, N and W in your birth name there's another side to a Karmic Lesson 5. Watch for sexual guilt, thrill seeking, preferring to make easy money, and flirtatiousness.
Judging by the numbers this year Philllips may want to be left alone and may feel as if everything he does or says is taken the wrong way. Depending on how he's handling the energies of the year, as his friends get booted from the show, the remaining contenders may notice he's more withdrawn and antisocial.
It's an incredible year for Philips, age 21, a Life Number 3 and a Pythagorean Destiny 93, Chaldean Destiny 61, and Personal Year 7.
Furthermore being amongst the final contestants on Idol gives rise to much sudden change which could make Phillips apprehensive and melancholy. He also needs to be careful of depression and not allow feelings of loneliness or fear overwhelm him. 2012 is a difficult year for anyone missing the Letters E, N, or W in your name or with a Challenge 5.
It's the eleventh season of Idol. I'll certainly be watching to see if there is a War of Words or something shocking when the contestants are dwindled down to 5.
After struggling with the shadowy side of 1you want a simple life. 19 is a number of strength and confidence. During this Cycle things do get better a lot better but usually it's when you are standing on your own two feet and self-sufficient. Generally at the beginning of the Cycle you are dictatorial, arrogant, unpredictable, inflexible, too dependent on, or at the mercy of a lover or spouse, selfish or lazy. By the fifth year, Personal Year 5, Change arrives.
Appears some people are fated to be single and for some, the culmination occurs in their early 50's (Final Pinnacle) or 60's (Harvest Cycle).
I'm finding that if 19 is your Final Pinnacle or Harvest Cycle, at the end of your life there is a physical loss, or the closing stages of a relationship that results in you being on their own, single. Namely due to a divorce, death of a significant other/partner, by choice because unpleasant experiences have guided you to be by yourself, or your professional life is too hectic to slow down.
I also notice that during a 19 Cycle many situations are self-inflicted as a result of being too positive, overly optimistic and unrealistic. There are many unexpected adversities to teach you the importance of having a good sense of Self, to really understand what you are capable of. Usually you are egotistical and out of touch with whom you really are, your self-perception is skewed. Or it may be that you just don't want to be truthful with yourself and therefore lie to others to make yourself appear self-sufficient, strong-minded, powerful, or better off than others when you know it's a white lie. The old saying 'Pride comes before the fall' certainly is applicable to 19.
19 almost certainly will give rise to a 'reality check' and hopefully you're willing to listen to others and learn from your experiences so that you don't keep repeating the same old lesson. 19 asks 'are you really as almighty and independent as YOU think you are?'
Want the black and white of your life, order Your Personal Portrait.
Are you missing the Letters E, N, and W in your birth name? Can you share the steps you are taking to overcome your weakness?
Are you in a Final Pinnacle 19 or Harvest Cycle 19, are you single? Can you like to share the sequence of events in the wake of your parting?

2 injured in Ellis County accident
By The Hays Daily News
By The Hays Daily News
Two northwest Kansas residents were hospitalized for injuries following a two-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon. The accident was shortly before 3:30 p.m. in the 1600 block of old U.S. Highway 40.
Georgia Beckner, 66, Kanorado, and her passenger, Sheri Jackson, 41, Goodland, were taken to Hays Medical Center for injuries, according to Ellis County Sheriff Ed Harbin.
Beckner failed to yield at a marked intersection while driving a silver 2003 Mazda, Harbin said.
Beckner collided with Jose Jimenez-Rivera, 18, Hays, who was driving a red 2001 Ford Explorer.
The "jaws of life" had to be used to get Beckner out of her vehicle, Harbin said.
Jimenez-Riveria and his passenger, Carlos Sanchez, 15, were not taken in for medical evaluation.

Two Arrested on Impersonation Charges
By: Elizabeth MontePosted: Friday, December 07, 2012
Sheriff Danny Hickman reports that the Boone County Sheriff's Office received a call from Hudspeth Motor's on Tuesday about two individuals who were attempting to purchase a vehicle. But after a quick credit check, it turned out these individuals had false information.
A 911 call was made and when Deputies arrived, the two individuals fled the scene in a vehicle, striking another vehicle as they left. Deputies pursued the vehicle, and finally stopped the individuals at Kum and Go on US 65 South. The driver, later identified as Michael Warrick, 33 years old of Springfield Missouri, fled on foot from officers before being detained by Harrison Police Corporal Rodney Smith. The passenger, later identified as Diana Warrick, 31 years of age also from Springfield Missouri, was apprehended at the scene by Deputy David Upton.
It was determined that the Warrick's had been stealing other peoples identity and using that information to obtain property and credit cards. Numerous false identification cards, Driver's Licenses, and fake checks were located in the vehicle. Michael Warrick was also in the possession of a loaded handgun and suspected methamphetamine at the time he was placed under arrest.
Both individuals were placed in the Boone County Jail with a $100,000 bond each.

I had every intention of throwing a post up yesterday sometime, but the day got away from me. A lot happened, most of which I can't really talk about yet.
I had an unusual walk in the morning. Knowing I had to leave for an appointment at 1 p.m., I was on a schedule and walked quite briskly (for me, anyway). A little past the halfway point I felt like someone or something pushed my right shoulder. I stumbled to my left and felt very dizzy for a few seconds. I remember shaking my head, like you would to get the cobwebs out, and continuing on. But I didn't get very far.
I had my cell phone with me and, thankfully, it worked from the little valley I was in. I called my husband to come get me, and I've been fine ever since. My goals are pretty much shot for this month. I don't think I can make up the five days I missed, but I'm going to try. Yesterday's 49 minutes didn't help erase my deficit.
We noticed a flat tire on my husband's car when we got back, so we have to take care of that this morning. I'm going to make time to walk first, though. Another busy couple of days looming.
I hope you're acting on your good intentions. I'm sure going to try!

Tour Testimonials
- Over two years ago, I went on the best trip I had ever been on. I traveled with a group led by Addi Ouadderrou, owner of Moroccan Caravan. We went all over Morocco. From all the Imperial Cities Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fez, the desert, and Marrakesh, to some amazing small villages where we saw rug weavers, potters and other artisans. We also ventured through desert on camel and visited to a beautiful seaside, fishing village still operating as such, and recently also as an artists' haven. He is immensely patient, kind and courteous. His knowledge of Morocco is encyclopedic, with just the right amount of thought provoking insightfulness and a little brevity.
I highly recommend this trip to all. In fact, this January, God willing, I'm going to Morocco again with Addi, the shopping is fabulous!
(Beth E., Minnesota)
- I dont think anyone could top the warm and friendly experience of traveling with Addi and Moroccan Caravan if you are looking for a way to experience Morocco and its wonderful people.
Julie, Jacksonville, FL, USA
- The thrill of my life. From the land-Rover race into the Desert to the camel trek at sunset and the night of drumming and dancing under the full moon. The night in the Desert was magic. How cool was that! The talks, questions and discussions about Morocco and its people were better than a history course. I came away with a true understanding of the uniqueness of Morocco and Moroccan People. I will be back.
Joani Mullen, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
- Addi, you are the best. Thank you for your time and patience
Daun Meyer

GUWAHATI: The state government on Tuesday invited anti-dam protestors of the state for talks on January 5 here to resolve the impasse on the Lower Subaniri hydel project. All protestors, under two separate blocks, one led by the All Assam Students Union (Aasu) and the other led by the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samity (KMSS), have decided to participate in the talks.
The protesters as well civil society members and experts will be sitting together with the group of ministers (GoM) selected by chief minister Tarun Gogoi to end this protest.
"The group of ministers has decided to have open discussions with all the protesters. The first round of protests will begin on January 5," power minister and chairman of the GoM, Pradyut Bordoloi, said.
The All Assam Students Union and 25 other groups, which form one protesters' block, will meet on Wednesday to decide their strategy for the talks, the KMSS-led anti-dam group comprising six organizations has decided to suspend the economic blockade against Arunachal Pradesh but its blockade against movement of men and materials to the NHPC site at Gerukamukh will continue.
KMSS secretary Akhil Gogoi said, "We have decided to hold talks with the government. Our protest has forced the government to invite us for talks after it remained adamant for several days on its stand. This is a victory for the people."
The KMSS and its five associate organizations have also decided to hold a public rally near Gerukamukh on Wednesday. "We want to take suggestions from the people on how to go about the discussions with the government," Akhil said.
The anti-dam group has also asked the state government to open the discussion on Thursday on a positive note by convincing the Centre to put on hold the construction of all dam projects, including the Lower Subansiri project, in Arunachal Pradesh for at least two months.
"We understand the state government has a limited role to play since the NHPC, which is constructing the Subansiri dam, is under the central government. We want to appeal to the state government to be with us since we are fighting for equal rights with Arunachal Pradesh over our water resources," Akhil said.
Aasu advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya said, "We will go for the talks. Aasu and 25 other organizations are meeting tomorrow here to chalk out our strategy."

ISTANBUL, October 4, 2009 –World Bank Group President Robert B. Zoellick and Managing Director Ngozi N. Okonjo-Iweala met today with global business leaders in order to continue expanding economic opportunities for women worldwide. At an event co-hosted by the Hüsnü M. Özyeǧin Foundation in the margins of the World Bank-IMF Annual Meetings, the leaders discussed the impacts of the ongoing economic crisis on women, and announced new partnerships to support women around the world.
"At this time of economic turmoil, investing in women is critical," said Mr. Zoellick at the meeting. "A host of studies suggest that putting earnings in women's hands is the intelligent thing to do to aid recovery and long-term development. Women usually reinvest a much higher portion of their earnings in their families and communities than men, spreading wealth beyond themselves."
In the meeting of the global Private Sector Leaders Forum, comprised of 21 companies committed to promote women's economic empowerment, the leaders talked about the need to protect women from the adverse effects of the economic crisis, and shared experiences on successful programs designed to support women's economic opportunities in key areas, such as targeted lending programs; inclusion and diversity initiatives to promote women into corporate leadership roles; and the training of business women in developing countries.
Highlights of new partnerships and initiatives announced at the event include:
- The Ozyegin Foundation and Goldman Sachs will expand the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women program to Turkey.
- Boeing announced Forum member efforts to track and spend $2 billion over the next three years on goods and services from women-owned businesses in supply chains.
- Belcorp announced a partnership with the World Bank to train 50,000 women in financial literacy in Latin America.
- McKinsey presented their new research, "The Business of Empowering Women," which maps out potential business sector contributions across women's life cycles.
According to the participants, these initiatives are crucial as the world sets about rebuilding economies around the world. Research shows that during economic crises, girls are the most likely to be withdrawn from school and be put to work to help their families. And adult women face the risk of suffering disproportionately from the jobs lost since they constitute between 60 and 80 percent of export manufacturing workers in developing countries, a sector expected to shrink due to fall in demand.
"Women and girls need to be protected because they are suffering disproportionately from the economic recession," said World Bank Managing Director, Ngozi N. Okonjo-Iweala. "But more importantly, women can be the engine for recovery. If done right, we can emerge from the crisis with healthier growth and be on a faster track to reducing poverty and boosting development." Investing in improving women's lives is critical,"
The Private Sector Leaders Forum is a public-private partnership between the World Bank Group and some of the world's leading private sector companies. The partnership supports the World Bank Group's Gender Action Plan to promote women's economic empowerment and gender equality.
Launched in January 2008 during the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Forum is comprised of:

This data set contains calibrated sensor measurements acquired by the Passive and Active L- and S-band (PALS) airborne microwave sensor during the Soil Moisture Experiment 2002 (SMEX02). This data set includes radiometer brightness temperatures (TB) at 1.41 and 2.69 GHz, and radar backscatter coefficients at 1.26 and 3.15 GHz, with multiple polarizations and a 45° incidence angle. The data are geolocated with latitude and longitude information for each data sample. Included are coregistered nadir and boresight infrared temperatures, altitude, and attitude information. Radar and radiometric studies are relevant to SMEX02 because the data indicates wet soil versus dry soil based on differences in emissivity in the microwave spectral region. Data are provided as ASCII files for each flight line and day of the mission. Ten flight lines were flown each day. Flights took place on June 25, 27, and July 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 2002. Data are available via FTP. These data were collected as part of a validation study for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). AMSR-E is a mission instrument launched aboard NASA's Aqua Satellite on 04 May 2002. AMSR-E validation studies linked to SMEX are designed to evaluate the accuracy of AMSR-E soil moisture data. Specific validation objectives include assessing and refining soil moisture algorithm performance; verifying soil moisture estimation accuracy; investigating the effects of vegetation, surface temperature, topography, and soil texture on soil moisture accuracy; and determining the regions that are useful for AMSR-E soil moisture measurements.

On Tuesday, the men and women of the Monroe County Korean War Veteran Association presented a crystal plaque honoring Jeong Jang for her generous donations to the group since she won in Rochester back in 2006, prior to the tournament becoming a LPGA major.
On June 25, 2006, a local supporter of the Association, Byoung Baek, decided watch the Wegmans LPGA with hopes to persuade the winner to visit the memorial after the tournament. That day marks the beginning of the Korean War, which happened to be the day the South Korean won her second LPGA Tour victory. Jang and her family agreed to visit the memorial following her media obligations that day and she has gone back every year she's been in Rochester ever since.
Jang has donated to the association every year to help with the upkeep of the memorial. The memory of those who fought in the Korean War is slowly starting to fade throughout the U.S. The Association appreciates Jang's support and will always be their favorite LPGA player.

noun \ˌes-kə-ˈtä-lə-jē\Definition of ESCHATOLOGY
Origin of ESCHATOLOGY
Other Philosophy Terms
Rhymes with ESCHATOLOGY
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Theological doctrine of the last things, or the end of the world. Mythological eschatologies depict an eternal struggle between order and chaos and celebrate the eternity of order and the repeatability of the origin of the world. The most notable expression of mythological eschatology is in Hinduism, which maintains belief in great cycles of the destruction and creation of the universe. Historical eschatologies are grounded in datable events that are perceived as fundamental to the progress of history. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have historical eschatologies. Eschatology in the Hebrew Scriptures sees the catastrophes that beset the people of Israel as due to their disobedience to the laws and will of God and holds that conformity to God's plan will result in renewal and the fulfillment of God's purpose. In Christianity, the end times are thought to have begun with the life and ministry of Jesus, the messiah who will return to establish the Kingdom of God. Millennialism focuses especially on Christ's second coming and the reign of the righteous on earth. In Shi'ite Islam it is believed that the mahdi, or restorer of the faith, will come to inaugurate the last judgment, in which the good will enter heaven and the evil will fall into hell. In Buddhism, eschatological traditions are associated with the Buddha Maitreya and with Pure Land Buddhism, as well as with individual efforts to achieve nirvana.

5 And when these days were completed, the king gave for all the people present in Susa the capital, both great and small, a banquet lasting for seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace. | 5 When these days were over, the king gave a banquet, lasting seven days, in the enclosed garden of the king's palace, for all the people from the least to the greatest, who were in the citadel of Susa. |
6 There were white cotton curtains and blue hangings caught up with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars, and also couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones. | 6 The garden had hangings of white and blue linen, fastened with cords of white linen and purple material to silver rings on marble pillars. There were couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and other costly stones. |
7 Drinks were served in golden goblets, goblets of different kinds, and the royal wine was lavished according to the bounty of the king. | 7 Wine was served in goblets of gold, each one different from the other, and the royal wine was abundant, in keeping with the king's liberality. |
8 And drinking was according to the law, no one was compelled; for the king had given orders to all the officials of his palace to do as every man desired. | 8 By the king's command each guest was allowed to drink in his own way, for the king instructed all the wine stewards to serve each man what he wished. |

Vessel that carries blood from the heart to other parts of the body (see cardiovascular system). Arterial blood carries oxygen and nourishment to tissues; the one exception is the pulmonary artery, which conveys oxygen-depleted blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and removal of excess carbon dioxide. Arteries are muscular, elastic tubes that transport blood under the pressure of the heart's pumping action, which can be felt as the pulse. Large arteries branch off from the aorta and give rise to smaller arteries, down to the threadlike arterioles, which branch into capillaries. An artery wall's inner layer (tunica intima) consists of an endothelial (cellular) lining, a fine connective tissue network, and a layer of elastic fibres. The middle layer (tunica media) is mostly smooth muscle cells. The outer layer (tunica externa) contains supportive collagen fibres. See also capillary; vein.

Grandpa's FireFork Is A Nifty Stocking Stuffer
December 4, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · Leave a Comment
Are you looking for a nifty stocking stuff for the outdoor enthusiast on your list? If so, then maybe you should check out Grandpa's FireFork made by Light My Fire. A compact nifty gadget, the FireFork is a simple solution for cooking marshmallows, hot dogs and even fresh fish over an open flame. Large skewers can be awkward and cumbersome to store and carry. On the other hand, the compact Fire Fork, which was inspired by an innovative grandpa, easily fits into a backpack or even a coat pocket. Once the protective plastic cover is removed from the fork's prongs, the two wire springs expand. By pressing the two prongs towards each other, the rings align and a stick can be shoved through. Hot dogs and marshmallows are then easily put in place on the prongs and held over the campfire. Another advantage of the forks is that, unlike randomly scavenged sticks, the prongs can be cleaned between uses. Priced at about $10 for a pack of four of Amazon, the FireForks would...

Great Reads for the Road…Or at Home!
December 4, 2011 by Diane Berry · 6 Comments
Closely akin to the thoughts about gifts for loved ones on the Feast of St. Nicholas, which was the subject of my last post, is the journey my mind takes each year about this time to acquiring new reads for the road. Assuming you are like me, especially thinking about summer reading, or perhaps winter reading for those cold winter nights, I wanted to share some of my favorite reads for either occasion. 1. While the New York Times Bestseller list is a great resource for new publications, there are a few classic favorites that are timeless and great for travelers. Thoreau's Walden is an example of such a book. While I had an old copy acquired in college, I felt compelled to acquire a new edition while in Massachusetts visiting Walden Pond a few years back. Incidentally, I think that body of water should perhaps be renamed Walden Lake as it did not at all resemble a pond. When home, Walden it sits at my bedside; when traveling it accompanies me. In his spare prose, Thoreau shares wise... [Read more...]
Let There Be Light!
December 1, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · 1 Comment
Head lamps. Flashlights. Lanterns. Campfires. What is your favorite way to light up a dark night when you are out in the great outdoors? Do you have a favorite flashlight that you depend on? We have used all of these items and our preference for them really depends on the situation. Sitting around a campfire on a summer's night is great fun. When the kids start dashing around the campground or the park after dark, they definitely need a good flashlight in hand. For tent camping, a lantern is essential. And, head lamps are critically important in remote areas as well. When I was shopping with my teenage daughter last week, I stopped by REI to see what was new. I didn't spend a lot of time there, but I did peruse the flashlight and head lamp section. I thought the Photon Micro Light II looked very good and well priced. This personal safety flashlight has an ultra bright LED light that is visible over one mile. And, the light is built to survive serious use! I think this... [Read more...]
'Twas the Feast of St. Nick…
December 1, 2011 by Diane Berry · 5 Comments
I published a post last year about this time, talking about St. Nick ideas for the avid RVer. My focus last year was on items new on the market. As it is that time of year again, I want to, again, focus on St. Nick ideas, but will be addressing a combination of both the old and the new; some items upon which you rely, most likely need to be replaced and this is a good excuse to trade up for a few of them. We always have a need for a new flashlight and those other items that we use everyday but seldom give much thought to. This year, my husband is in sore need of two items, both of which have been improved since we last purchased them, so these will be my first two suggestions: Our "new addition" 1. To replace our old generic flashlight from 15 years back, he is getting a new Maglite model that will provide a high intensity light beam. The light has two settings and a krypton bulb and is able to provide either a spot light or a flood light with the flick of a switch. Also,... [Read more...]

Although I did not but this product but instead got it as a gift I owuld still recommend this scent. It is sweet so if you are interested in more sophisticated scents this is not for you. I of course like the sweetness of it but for me it doesn't seem overpowering. The only thing I would say is the scent fades away too quickly so I do have to keep reapplying it but I kind of like that for some reason because I love the smell of it so much. Definitely worth the try if you are into sweet scents.

I bought this a while back. It smells decent, but I've found that it can be nauseating to certain people. Also, it doesn't smell as good after wearing it for a while. It leaves an odd scent to your clothes, almost like spoiled icing. It smells the best when you first when you put it on. I like the smell, but this definitely isn't something that I would wear all the time. I try to limit how much I use it.

Gosh, the bottle is so cute! I just have to give it a try. BBW has some of the cutest perfume bottles. I find this fragrant non offensive and easy to wear. It is a few tolerable fragrances at BBW. It is similar to many Victoria's Secret Garden scents but less sweet. I find this fragrant although nice smelling, smells kind of cheap. It smellls too synthetic for my taste. However, compared with the majority of BBW fragrances, it is one of the better ones in my opinion. For my personal taste, it is a bit too strong. It's floral and musky mostly. It's very nice smelling during the initial application that I had to go back to find out what it was. As it dries down, the cheapness creeps in and synthetic room deodorizer started kicking in. Over all it's a pretty fragrant. I wish they improve on the sharpness on the perfume to make it smell a bit classier.

Bath&BodyWorks Paris Amour Fine Fragrance Mist is one of the brand's best selling products. Bath&BodyWorks describes the scent of Paris Amour as a "dreamy blend of French tulips, apple blossoms, and sparkling pink champagne, inspired by a romantic stroll through the streets of Paris." As you know, a few months ago Bath&BodyWorks reformulated, renamed, and repackaged their body sprays in "Fine Fragrance Mists", which are said to give you a delicate mist with more improved coverage control as well as a higher concentration of fragrance. Bath&BodyWorks also claims that their Fine Fragrance Mists contain aloe to help condition and nourish the skin. Bath&BodyWorks is a cruelty free brand that makes their products in the USA. I purchased my 3fl oz (88ml) travel sized bottle for $3.34 on a 3/$10 deal. Travel sized Fine Fragrance Mists sell individually for $6, or $14 for a full 8fl oz size.
Bath&BodyWorks describes their Fine Fragrance Mist bottles as beautiful and sophisticated. I don't know about sophisticated, but they are very pretty. Paris Amour's recyclable plastic bottle features the name of the scent written in silver lettering. A metallic pink bow wraps all the way around the bottle. On the back of the bottle is a little, pink Eiffel Tower. Cute. I love Bath&BodyWorks imagery, and Paris Amour has some of the best. It suits the scent wonderful and is extremely girly.
Bath&BodyWorks states that the "Fine Fragrance Pump" gives more precise control over scent placement and gives a more delicate mist of product. Personally I don't notice much of a difference in the mist, but I do notice a difference in the pump. It takes significantly more effort to spritz than the old body spray's pump. I don't like effort. :(
Before I do on; here is the full list of Paris Amour's scent notes:
Top Notes: Sparkling Mandarin, Strawberry, Cassis, Pink Champagne, Apple Blossom, Dewy Freesia
Mid Notes: Luscious Peach, Jasmine Petals, French Tulips, Waterlily, Frangipani
Dry Notes: French Vanilla, Coconut Milk, Amberwood, Sandalwood, Creamy Musk
Unlike many Bath&BodyWorks scents with lots of notes, Paris Amour actually smells like most of them! The base of this scent is definitely the sparkling pink champagne, which gives this scent a bubbly, effervescent quality. Various fruity notes like peach, mandarin, apple, and coconut subtly mingle with the champagne. I love fruity champagnes, I wish I had one that tasted like this scent smells. I find that blend of fruits very appealing. I said in my review of the Paris Amour Body Lotion I said that this scent smells like a blend of champagne and apple juice, and while I still agree with that, I can pick up the more subtle notes in this scent in the Fine Fragrance Mist version. Subtle notes like the gentle but almost smokey musk and sweet vanilla. I much prefer this scent in mist form because I get a better idea of the scent. It has more layers and depth this way. The soft musk makes Paris Amour just a little more sophisticated than your average fruity floral scents from Bath&BodyWorks, like Sweet Pea or Carried Away. It's a light scent that's found the perfect balance of fruity floralness.
You may remember my review of the Sweet Pea Fine Fragrance Mist. I was quite upset with it. The spray smelled very sugary and alcoholic. I'm happy to report that I don't have that problem with Paris Amour. Like all body sprays, it does smell a bit of alcohol when first spritzed, but that quickly dries down to the Paris Amour I know and love. (By the way it was determined by a sale associate that I had a bad bottle of Sweet Pea's Fine Fragrance Mist).
However, Paris Amour did retain one issue that the Sweet Pea mist also had. The new Fine Fragrance Mists lack staying power, lasting at most 3 hours on me. That sucks, but it's a problem easily fixed. Layering the scent with it's matching lotion or shower gel or carrying around the travel sized spray for touch ups will solve the longevity issue.
I'm very pleased with Bath&BodyWorks Paris Amour Fine Fragrance Mist. I was worried it would have all the same issue as my bad bottle of Sweet Pea, which I purchased immediately after reformulation. The formula seems to have improved greatly, but I feel like it still needs tweaked just a little more to improve the longevity of the scent. Paris Amour is one of my favorite Bath&BodyWorks scents. It's young, fresh and playful, but still has a touch of class to it. Also, according to Boyfriend, who is French, Paris Amour does smell kinda French. I guess that's a bonus. The bubbly champagne and subtle fruits blend wonderfully together with hints of floral notes. I plan to pick up the full sized bottle next time I go to Bath&BodyWorks. I highly recommend this very appealing, feminine scent. Its one of Bath&BodyWorks' best.

Pink Champagne is the pushing point of this scent, yet I had a difficult time picking it up. This was one fragrance that I wanted to fall in love with, but instead I was left waiting at the altar. I wanted it to deepen and develop into its composite notes. Instead of a multi-spectral, diverse floral fragrance, it is somewhat less so, more two dimensional as it were. I picked up the floral note and the musk/sandalwood base, but that was about it. The middle notes really stand out in this one, as the top notes were lost to me. The BBW associate pushed the tulip note, insisting the floral element I was picking up was tulip. I believe it was the frangipani I was tuning into. While not my favorite floral, frangipani is lovely if done right.
I may give this another try, as it is not a "would not ever buy again" fragrance. Perhaps I didn't catch myself on the right day. It is amazing how my tastes change with fragrance, depending on my mood and a host of other factors. This one is worth a shot if you like florals, as it is not heady or cloying.

This is among my favorite BBW scent. It balances that fine line between being sweet and too floral. This is a the perfect fragrance for daytime, year round.It is a very light, fluffy fragrance that packs a punch without being too cloying or overpowering. Love it! Smells very expensive!

It just doesn't live up to all this hype. I found that it smelled very cheap. I was expecting something floral and sophisticated. All I got was a boring sweet sort of note with nothing really going on. It's really sad how down-hill BBW has gone. Their packaging is better than the actual perfume. It use to be the other way around.

The Power of Being Empathetic Towards Those in Need
A nurse reaches out to a patient during a time of need. This patient had experienced a traumatic loss and desperately needed to talk to someone. The nurse saw this urgent need and watched how others never gave this patient the time.
This precious time gave the patient the ability to share the story, thus allowing the nurse to show emotions and be empathetic towards the patient. Later, this small moment of time, resulted in a small return favor that showed a great appreciation for the nurse and proved the nurses theory.
Every evening, I go into work, as a Registered Nurse, expecting to have a typical night with the same type of patients. All of the patients are here for recovery from their drug addictions, so each night is similar to the night before.... Administer medication, do some brief assessments, and keep the peace for them.
Then one special patient stands out on this particular night. The one patient that experienced a life-changing event... The one that came to not only recover from the addiction they had, but to develop a whole new life.
What is so different with this patient as compared to all the others?
This patient has experienced a terrible loss. An accident that has been life changing, the loss of a young child due to a brief loss of attention. I have heard through the daily nursing report about this tragic loss, but I wanted to be available for my patient. Most other nurses just went on about their business during their shifts, but not me...
It was this one night that I told this patient "I'm not a professional, but I am here for you if you need to talk to someone or just have someone listen."
This patient was so grateful to have a nurse open up and reach out that he ended up sharing the whole story about how this brief moment had cost one young child's life... A car accident, plummeting off a 30-foot drop, leaving a young child lifeless while another young child injured. My emotions showed through my tears streaming down my face as I felt this patients pain. I only wish I could rewind time and bring life back into this child's life. The most I could do is give my words of condolences. I had wanted to give this patient a huge hug, but that crosses the patient/nurse boundary.
I did not realize how much this brief conversation of empathy had affected this patient until my next shift. Every night, when I come into work, I pull the medications for the diabetic patients since they get their medications upon awakening in the morning. This particular morning, this same patient did not come up to get the morning medications as scheduled; therefore, the medications sat there for some time.
My shift had ended and the patient came later to get the medications.
Another nurse had thought the medications were already administered and the patient was very upset and took the time to write up a grievance report and put it into the grievance box (which is under lock and key with only a slot to put the paper in). Just after slipping the paper into the slot, did a technician inform the patient that "I", the nurse was the one that had pulled the medications the night before.
It was at that time that the patient stated that the intention was not to have written the grievance on me, the nurse. Apparently, the patient did not like the other nurse, as she never took the time to "listen" to her patients (as other patients had complained to me).
This same patient then went over and picked up the grievance box, flipped it upside down, and out fell the one piece of paper that was just put in (that he had written). The patient stated, "It must've been by the grace of God that the paper fell out", per the technician. The patient proceeded to rip the paper up and go about the day.
So the important thing to learn about this whole story?
Just take a few extra moments to connect with those you are caring for... just listen to what they have to say and do not be afraid to show some emotion. Even if the payback is near to nothing, the patient is all that matters! This brought on a great feeling to know that my empathetic side makes such a huge difference in others' lives. Now, this is what "nursing" to me is all about!
The patient did recover from the addiction and did have some great resources for the depression that followed the death of the young child. The patient was very grateful for my time to listen to the story revolving the car accident. If all nurses could take just a few extra moments out of their time for each of their patients, then my theory is that patients will ultimately feel happier since they sense that their nurse is actually caring about them and not just treating their ailments. My belief is to treat the whole patient, not just their disease process.Last edit by Joe V on Jan 10, '15About MystyqueOne
I am a Registered Nurse in the State of Arizona with two beautiful young children. I am pursuing my Master's Degree in Family Nurse Practitioner at the beginning of the year. One of my dreams is to create a strong provider-patient relationship among all my patients once I am a FNP and to hopefully create a new method of treatment that includes "listening" to patients with each visit, thus treating the whole person.

3Aug 21, '12 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorThank you so very much for sharing your story. Patients enter the system with the main intention of receiving healthcare, but they also want to be acknowledged as individuals in their own right. You listened to your patient, provided the acknowledgment, and showed that you cared through your actions. Kudos to you!1Aug 21, '12 by MystyqueOneQuote from MulanI suppose I didn't make that clear. My apologies. I wish I could edit the article to clarify that point. The other nurse on the new shift refused to give the patient the medications and assumed the medications were already given, therefore upsetting the patient and forcing the grievance letter to be written.Good story.
I get your point and it's a good one.
I don't understand, however, what he was writing a grievance about in the first place.

If we all take only one extra moment with our patients to listen to what they want to share, I truly think patients' health may improve drastically. Think about it, there is scientific research that shows that depression highly inhibits healing within one's life. So, by nurses reaching out to our patients, shows that we truly care for them as a whole person, thus decreasing any depression they may have and improving their health a little at a time.I know something of that magnitude was not only life changing for the patient but definitely you as well.
