Welcome to my online boutique! I am so excited to share what I love, with you. Please feel free to convo with any questions... I love a good challenge. I purchase beads from all over the world and many times I try to repurchase something, only to find that it is no longer available. So if you like something please don't wait - the next time you look it may be gone. I strive to make things that cannot be duplicated by others. I like knowing that the things I make cannot be purchased at your local mall or catalog parties.
I accept paypal or direct checkout as methods of payment. Payment is due within 7 days of purchase. Failure to do so may result in negative feedback and cancellation of your order.
I understand the checkout system can be a little confusing. Let me walk you through the payment process! After checking out, you will need to PROCEED TO PAYMENT if paying by paypal or credit card.
If you are not sure whether you have paid, the following link explains the checkout and payment process—
If you don't have a paypal account or would like to pay by credit card, here is a helpful link that explains how you can pay by credit card through paypal--
I don't believe in making money from shipping so I try to keep the shipping costs to a minimum.
U.S.A. BUYERS: I ship via USPS First-class mail. Please contact me if you want to upgrade to Priority mail. I would be happy to insure your package for an additional charge. Please let me know if you want to add insurance.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I ship worldwide with USPS first class international mail. Please contact me for additional shipping options.
Refunds and Exchanges
I will do exchanges ONLY for items purchased within 10 days of original purchase. Shipping charges are NOT refundable. Custom orders are NOT refundable. Please make sure you estimate your size correctly. I cannot be responsible for errors in sizing. Resizing is $10.00 PER STRAND or item (plus shipping) because it takes the same amount of time to create your gift the second time, as it did originally.
Additional Policies and FAQs
I try to take the best pictures possible with my camera. Having said that, sometimes the lighting is still not the best. I will try to be as accurate as I can in my description so that you aren't dissapointed.

Ten for Texas... what went wrong (10 mile race report)
View IMSMILEY88's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from IMSMILEY88
Sunday, October 14, 2012
(Pre-race photo of group that I only trained with occasionally because of injuries. I'm standing in pink - the short sleeves was TOO HOT! My coach is beneath me in the yellowish color. She's been my coach & pilates instructor for past 1.5 years and she's TERRIFIC!)
Yesterday's race is DONE! I was trying to say if it was 'good' or 'bad'... I'm just glad it's DONE right now!
As I mentioned, I wasn't as trained as last year (from nagging 'injuries' this fall) and I've gained about 12 pounds. So, I knew my time wouldn't be fantastic. But, I thought I'd be happy with 2:10 (that'd be quite a bit faster than my training!) and THRILLED with 2:00. I got a 2:07:30, which I'm really happy with.
Things that went wrong:
...didn't bring water to drink pre-race & walked around thirsty. I usually drink until 20 mins before hand.
...dressed too warm - that shirt is kind of thick & should have had sleeveless. I rolled sleeves up early in race but still felt hot (temp was 72 at start and 82 at finish)
...went out too fast (1st 2 miles at about 11:45 - last 4 averaged over 13!)
...tried something 'new' - the visor! We were supposed to get in our group shirts, but didn't. But she handed out the visors with team name. It was stiff & itchy & just not comfortable. I kept messing with it.
...bought new water bottles (I drink a LOT & carry water during races!). The water tasted like plastic... pretty gross! And, I was afraid I'd get sick.
...drank too much Gatorade. They had 5 stations and I was hot & thirsty. Drank cup of Gatorade at each. At about mile 9 (I think I might have got water at that last stop) I started getting heart burn! That's never happened! Was worried, but it got better. Oh, and it was lemon-lime, not grape like I'm used to.
...didn't have a fueling plan. During race I decided I'd eat a smaller 'snack' (I use Honey Stingers, not gels) at 30 mins, 60 mins & 90 mins as race would take about 2 hours. I totally forgot the 60 min fueling!! Thankfully, I saw someone else fueling at 90 mins and took that one... plus a little extra.
...didn't get enough sleep. This is typical for me on race nights, but I'm wondering how a good night's sleep would help. I usually get 8-8.5 hours. Went to bed at 10 & woke up at 12, 2, & 4. Next woke at 4:30 and coulnd't go back to sleep so got up at 4:50 (vs 5:00 which was planned). So, 6.5 not-so-restful sleep.
But, again, I am happy with how I performed. I think I did really well for where I'm at this fall. I have my first half marathon of the year next month (5 weeks away) and hope to get in much better shape by then... and lose some weight!
Have a happy, healthy week!

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
For all the things that went wrong you still had an amazing finishing time. So it wasn't your best race. No biggy.
I have never ever ran as fast as I think I should. I have never been as prepared as I wanted to be. Stupid things like work, family, and normal every day things get in the way of our athletic aspirations.
You did just fine. And you know it!
You were not as prepared as you think you should have been. Why is that? There is something in my profession called a "Root Cause Analysis". When something goes wrong, you try to get to the bottom of it. Since you live in Texas, you know it can be hotter than the inside hubs of hell! Why did you wear too heavy a shirt? What do you have to do to keep from getting "nagging injuries". Why can't you relax and get some sleep before a race?
I liked reading about your race experience. Are those tire marks on the Armadillo?
Thanks, Bruce

Firstly - CONGRATULATIONS!! You did it and that is what matters!
Second - thank you for sharing the helpful tips because I think that we have all been there making these types of mistakes, especially the "over dressed" one!
Lastly - Sleeping the day before the race is near to impossible but I read and article that suggests to make sure to gets lots of sleep the day BEFORE the day before (if that makes sense) and your body will be well rested.
Great job on your finish and meeting your goal!!

kudos to you for finishing despite all the "things that went wrong" and awesome that you got a good time!
Report Inappropriate Comment
Well done! That's a great time, especially in hot weather and coming off an injured season.
In the past few months, I've had some trouble getting a good night's sleep before a race day, partly because my husband is a night owl and partly because we have kittens who keep waking us up early. One strategy I've been following is to try to get a longer night's sleep the night before the night before the race, so even if the night before doesn't go well, I have some sleep time "in the bank". For example, if the race is on Sunday, I try to turn the lights out on Friday by 10 pm (and sleep until 8 am). Even if get woken up a few times by the kittens, I've still had a decent night's sleep, which makes up for having a disrupted night on Saturday.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Very well done!! I don't think tat you will ever conquer the "Night Before Sleep Deprivation". The excitement will not allow you to have a smooth night. But, that's OK. Hang tough and get ready for your next challenge.
Report Inappropriate Comment
You did great, no doubt about it (despite the irritants).
Report Inappropriate Comment
Wow! For how many things went wrong and you still met your goal! That's awesome. As for sleep, I've heard from several runners that its the night before the night before the race that matters. Not sure if its true or folklore but it helps me. I never sleep well the night before a race.
And, man! That is HOT!!
Report Inappropriate Comment
LOL you did a million times better than most people would do with proper sleep, hydration, and fuel...!
OK, I need to point out that I am from Erie, PA... so I'm sure our idea of "hot" is way different. I would be dying in 82 degrees with a "thick" shirt on with just the sleeves rolled up! OMG! It sounds like a fiery hellish death to me!!!!! I would probably quit! Or just rip the dang thing off and leave it on the ground.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I think you did a great job! I know you had a lot of challenges and you overcame and still finished the race.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I think you did a great job. It is good that you have journalled your experience, it will be useful for future races. Good luck with your next 5 weeks of training, hope all goes well.

Wal-Mart Reports Disappointing Earnings: Ahead of the Ticker
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report) reported disappointing fiscal first-quarter earnings and forecast a challenging second quarter.
For the quarter, the retailer reported a profit of $3.78 billion, or $1.14 a share, up from $3.74 billion, or $1.09 a share, a year ago.
Sales rose 1% to $113.43 billion.
The results came in below Wall Street expectations for earnings of $1.15 a share on revenue of $115.78 billion.
Wal-Mart reported a 1.4% drop in revenue at its namesake business for stores open at least year -- that marks the first drop in about a year and a half. Analysts expected revenue at Wal-Mart stores to remain unchanged. The company cited a payroll tax increase, delayed tax refunds and bad weather for the worse-than-expected results. Looking ahead, the retailer expects earnings per share to be in the range of $1.22 to $1.27 in the current quarter, below analysts' expectations of earnings of $1.29 a share. Wal-Mart represents nearly 10% of nonautomotive retail spending in the U.S., and thus is considered an economic bellwether.Cisco Systems (CSCO - Get Report) reported a higher-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fiscal third quarter on Wednesday. The computer-networking equipment maker reported adjusted earnings of 51 cents a share on revenue of $12.2 billion, beating analysts' estimates of 49 cents a share on revenue of $12.18 billion. Shares of Cisco surged 12% Thursday morning on the results. Cisco forecast current-quarter earnings per share of 50 to 52 cents excluding items, in line with expectations. The company expects revenue to grow 4% to 7% from the same quarter a year ago. CEO John Chambers said, "We are managing the business to account for a continued slow steady recovery on a global basis."

This 6th round of the Biennale resumes the footsteps of previous ones. It is concerned, in particular, with the Miniature "Artist's Book", the dimensions of which do not exceed 15 × 15 × 15 cm. It is anattempt to explore the artists' creativity in this field on this small scale, emphasizing that creativity, technical skill, and authentic expression are the most important values in an artwork, which is not necessarily linked tothe greatness of the artwork's size.
The Veil and 9/11: The Orientalist Discourse Revisited is an attempt to excavatethe prevailing discourses on the veil, notably after the bombing of the World TradeCenter in New York. This article tries to argue that the Orientalist discourse has been revisited in most of the Western debates on the veil. For instance, the veil after 9/11 was connected with a lot of stereotypes and prejudices such as the veil as a sign of oppression, gender inequality, terrorism, patriarchal ideologies, lack of voice and more significantly a refusal to adopt Western values and ways of life. Furthermore, this article will try to come across four items: Orientalism and the question of difference; the perception of the veil in colonial era; the veil and 9/11; and the veil and New American Orientalism.
This volume is dedicated to the Omar Toussoun Collection of the Graeco-Roman Museum. The collection is wide ranging and includes architectural elements, sculpture, minor arts and pottery, all of which have as their provenance the Canopic region, 20 kilometers east of Alexandria. The collection was donated by the prince in 1923, and was exhibited in Room 22, named The Prince Omar Toussoun Hall in his honor.
This publication aims to present an overview of the BioVisionAlexandria 2012 conference and gives a brief portrayal of the next BioVisionAlexandria 2014 Conference
The theme of BioVisionAlexandria 2012 Conference was "New Life Sciences: Linking Science to Society" which aimed at addressing the role science can play in achieving a fair, equal and just society, not just through scientific research but also policy adjustment. This publication shows the extensiveness and the depth of topics and issues that discussed during the three days conference covering almost all Life Sciences fields. It includes presentations of invited speakers in form of articles to help -in a way - how new life sciences can help society to reach its full potential."

An obituary for actor/filmmaker Leonard Nimoy.
Joe Carnahan's "Narc" is a cold, hard film about Detroit narcotics detectives. Ray Liotta and Jason Patric star, as a veteran whose partner has been killed and a younger cop assigned to join him in the investigation. If many cop-partner movies have an undertone of humor, even a splash of "The Odd Couple," this one is hard-bitten and grim: The team consists of Bad Cop and Bad Cop. The twist is that both of them are good at their work; their problem is taking the job too personally.
The film opens with a virtuoso handheld chase scene, as Nick Tellis (Patric) pursues a suspect through backyards and over fences until the chase ends in a shooting--and it's not the perp who is hit, but a pregnant woman. Tellis is put on suspension and cools off at home with his wife and a baby he loves. It's clear this is a man with big problems involving anger and overcompensation; is there such a thing as being too dedicated as a cop? More than a year later, his captain (Chi McBride) calls in Tellis and makes him an offer: He can be reinstated on the force if he becomes the partner of Henry Oak (Liotta). Oak's former partner, a cop named Calvess, has been murdered. The captain thinks Tellis' contacts with drug dealers and other lowlifes, plus his unique brand of dedication, are needed to track down the cop-killer. He warns Tellis that Oak is a good cop but sometimes unstable, and there are quick subjective cuts to the older man beating a prisoner.
Tellis and Oak do not fit the usual pattern of cop partners in the movies. Either of them could be the lead. Neither one is supporting. As cops, they think independently and are self-starters, and cooperation doesn't come easily. Tellis is startled, too, at Oak's methods, which are quick and practical and amoral, and produce results but are not always legal.
The movie's writer and director, Joe Carnahan, brings a rough, aggressive energy to the picture. His first film, "Blood, Guts, Bullets & Octane," was all style, but here he creates believable characters. His screenplay stays within the broad outlines of the cop-buddy formula, but brings fresh energy to the obligatory elements. It is no surprise, for example, that Tellis' wife doesn't want him back out on the streets, and that there's tension between his home life and his job. This is an ancient action cliche: A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. But the details of the domestic scenes ring true.
In terms of its urban wasteland, the movie descends to a new level of grittiness. These streets aren't mean, they're cruel, and to work them is like being the garbage man in hell. Liotta's character stalks them as a man on a mission, driven by private agendas we only begin to suspect. The Patric character is stunned to see the other man not only violating protocol, but apparently trying to shut him out of the investigation, as if this business can only be settled privately between him and his demons.
Both Liotta and Patric have played similar roles. Patric starred in "Rush" (1991), in a brilliant performance as an undercover narcotics cop who, along with his rookie partner (Jennifer Jason Leigh), gets hooked on drugs himself. Liotta has appeared in countless crime pictures, both as a cop and, most memorably, in "GoodFellas" (1990) as a cocaine-addled criminal. Here they bring a kind of rawness to the table. Liotta, heavier, wearing a beard, leaves behind his days as a handsome leading man and begins edging into interesting Brian Cox territory. Patric, 10 years after "Rush," looks less like he's playing a cop and more like he might be one.
The investigation itself must remain undescribed here. But its ending is a neat and ironic exercise in poetic justice. Pay attention during one of the very last shots, and tell me if you think the tape recorder was on or off. In a way, it makes a difference. In another way, it doesn't.

The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages), a group of closely related languages of the Slavic peoples and a subgroup of Indo-European languages, have speakers in most of Eastern Europe, much of the Balkans, parts of Central Europe, and the northern part of Asia. The Slavic languages are spoken by some 315 million people[2] (see Table on the right),[3][unreliable source?] and are the second largest native spoken language group among the Languages of Europe, after the Germanic languages and ahead of the Romance languages.[citation needed]
Scholars traditionally divide Slavic languages on the basis of geographical and genealogical principle into three main branches, some of which feature subbranches:
Some linguists speculate that a North Slavic branch has existed as well. The Old Novgorod dialect may have reflected some idiosyncrasies of this group. On the other hand, the term "North Slavic" is also used sometimes to combine the West and East Slavic languages into one group, in opposition to the South Slavic languages, due to traits the West and East Slavic branches share with each other that they do not with the South Slavic languages.
The most obvious differences between the West and East Slavic branches are in the orthography of the standard languages: West Slavic languages are written in the Latin script, and have had more western European influence due to their speakers being historically Roman Catholic, whereas the East Slavic languages are written in Cyrillic and, with Eastern Orthodox or Uniate faithful, have had more Greek influence. East Slavic languages such as Russian have, however, during and after Peter the Great's Europeanization campaign, absorbed many words of Latin, French, German, and Italian origin, somewhat reducing this difference in influence. Although the South Slavic group has traits that distinguish it from the West or East Slavic branches, within itself it displays much the same variations: Bulgarian, for example, has some East Slavic traits (Cyrillic alphabet, Russian loanwords, and Greek influence) and Croatian many West Slavic ones (Latin alphabet, overall central European influence like Czech), despite both being South Slavic.
The tripartite division of the Slavic languages does not take into account the spoken dialects of each language. Of these, certain so-called transitional dialects and hybrid dialects often bridge the gaps between different languages, showing similarities that do not stand out when comparing Slavic literary (i.e. standard) languages. For example, Slovak (West Slavic) and Ukrainian (East Slavic) are bridged by the Rusyn of Eastern Slovakia and western Ukraine.[12] Similarly, Polish shares transitional features with both western Ukrainian and Belarusian dialects. The Croatian Kajkavian dialect is more similar to Slovene than to the standard Croatian language.
Although the Slavic languages diverged from a common proto-language later than any other group of the Indo-European language family, enough differences exist between the various Slavic dialects and languages to make communication between speakers of different Slavic languages difficult. Within the individual Slavic languages, dialects may vary to a lesser degree, as those of Russian, or to a much greater degree, as those of Slovene.

Slavic languages descend from Proto-Slavic, their immediate parent language, ultimately deriving from Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor language of all Indo-European languages, via a Proto-Balto-Slavic stage. During the Proto-Balto-Slavic period a number of exclusive isoglosses in phonology, morphology, lexis, and syntax developed, which makes Slavic and Baltic the closest related of all the Indo-European branches. The secession of the Balto-Slavic dialect ancestral to Proto-Slavic is estimated on archaeological and glottochronological criteria to have occurred sometime in the period 1500–1000 BCE.[13]
A minority of Baltists maintain the view that the Slavic group of languages differs so radically from the neighboring Baltic group (Lithuanian, Latvian, and the now-extinct Old Prussian), that they could not have shared a parent language after the breakup of the Proto-Indo-European continuum about five millennia ago. Substantial advances in Balto-Slavic accentology that occurred in the last three decades, however, make this view very hard to maintain nowadays, especially when one considers that there was most likely no "Proto-Baltic" language and that West Baltic and East Baltic differ from each other as much as each of them does from Proto-Slavic.[14]

The imposition of Church Slavonic on Orthodox Slavs was often at the expense of the vernacular. Says WB Lockwood, a prominent Indo-European linguist, "It [O.C.S] remained in use to modern times but was more and more influenced by the living, evolving languages, so that one distinguishes Bulgarian, Serbian, and Russian varieties. The use of such media hampered the development of the local languages for literary purposes, and when they do appear the first attempts are usually in an artificially mixed style." (148)
Lockwood also notes that these languages have "enriched" themselves by drawing on Church Slavonic for the vocabulary of abstract concepts. The situation in the Catholic countries, where Latin was more important, was different. The Polish Renaissance poet Jan Kochanowski and the Croatian Baroque writers of the 16th century all wrote in their respective vernaculars (though Polish itself had drawn amply on Latin in the same way Russian would eventually draw on Church Slavonic).
Although Church Slavonic hampered vernacular literatures, it fostered Slavonic literary activity and abetted linguistic independence from external influences. Only the Croatian vernacular literary tradition nearly matches Church Slavonic in age. It began with the Vinodol Codex and continued through the Renaissance until the codifications of Croatian in 1830, though much of the literature between 1300 and 1500 was written in much the same mixture of the vernacular and Church Slavonic as prevailed in Russia and elsewhere.
The most important early monument of Croatian literacy is the Baška tablet from the late 11th century. It is a large stone tablet found in the small Church of St. Lucy, Jurandvor on the Croatian island of Krk, containing text written mostly in Čakavian dialect in angular Croatian Glagolitic script. The independence of Dubrovnik facilitated the continuity of the tradition.
More recent foreign influences follow the same general pattern in Slavic languages as elsewhere and are governed by the political relationships of the Slavs. In the 17th century, bourgeois Russian (delovoi jazyk) absorbed German words through direct contacts between Russians and communities of German settlers in Russia. In the era of Peter the Great, close contacts with France invited countless loan words and calques from French, a significant fraction of which not only survived but also replaced older Slavonic loans. In the 19th century, Russian influenced most literary Slavic languages by one means or another.

The Proto-Slavic language existed until around 500 AD. By the 7th century, it had broken apart into large dialectal zones.
There are no reliable hypotheses about the nature of the subsequent breakups of West and South Slavic. East Slavic is generally thought to converge to one Old Russian or Old East Slavonic language, which existed until at least the 12th century.
Linguistic differentiation was accelerated by the dispersion of the Slavic peoples over a large territory, which in Central Europe exceeded the current extent of Slavic-speaking majorities. Written documents of the 9th, 10th, and 11th centuries already display some local linguistic features. For example the Freising monuments show a language that contains some phonetic and lexical elements peculiar to Slovene dialects (e.g. rhotacism, the word krilatec). The Freising monuments are the first Latin-script continuous text in a Slavic language.
The migration of Slavic speakers into the Balkans in the declining centuries of the Byzantine Empire expanded the area of Slavic speech, but the pre-existing writing (notably Greek) survived in this area. The arrival of the Hungarians in Pannonia in the 9th century interposed non-Slavic speakers between South and West Slavs. Frankish conquests completed the geographical separation between these two groups, also severing the connection between Slavs in Moravia and Lower Austria (Moravians) and those in present-day Styria, Carinthia, East Tyrol in Austria, and in the provinces of modern Slovenia, where the ancestors of the Slovenes settled during first colonisation.
The following is a summary of the main changes from Proto-Indo-European (PIE) leading up to the Common Slavic (CS) period immediately following the Proto-Slavic language (PS).
The Slavic languages are a relatively homogeneous family, compared with other families of Indo-European languages (e.g. Germanic, Romance, and Indo-Iranian). As late as the 10th century AD, the entire Slavic-speaking area still functioned as a single, dialectally differentiated language, termed Common Slavic. Compared with most other Indo-European languages, the Slavic languages are quite conservative, particularly in terms of morphology (the means of inflecting nouns and verbs to indicate grammatical differences). Most Slavic languages have a rich, fusional morphology that conserves much of the inflectional morphology of Proto-Indo-European.[15]
The following table shows the inventory of consonants of Late Common Slavic:[16]
Labial | Coronal | Palatal | Velar | |||||
Nasal | m | n | nʲ | |||||
Plosive | p | b | t | d | tʲː | dʲː | k | ɡ |
Affricate | ts | dz | tʃ | |||||
Fricative | s | z | ʃ, (sʲ1) | ʒ | x | |||
Trill | r | rʲ | ||||||
Lateral | l | lʲ | ||||||
Approximant | ʋ | j |
1The sound /sʲ/ did not occur in West Slavic, where it had developed to /ʃ/.
This inventory of sounds is quite similar to what is found in most modern Slavic languages. The extensive series of palatal consonants, along with the affricates *ts and *dz, developed through a series of palatalizations that happened during the Proto-Slavic period, from earlier sequences either of velar consonants followed by front vowels (e.g. *ke, *ki, *ge, *gi, *xe, and *xi), or of various consonants followed by *j (e.g. *tj, *dj, *sj, *zj, *rj, *lj, *kj, and *gj, where *j indicates the sound of the English consonant y as in yes or you).
The biggest change in this inventory results from a further general palatalization occurring near the end of the Common Slavic period, where all consonants became palatalized before front vowels. This produced a large number of new palatalized (or "soft") sounds, which formed pairs with the corresponding non-palatalized (or "hard") consonants[15] and absorbed the existing palatalized sounds *lʲ *rʲ *nʲ *sʲ. These sounds were best preserved in Russian but were lost to varying degrees in other languages (particularly Czech and Slovak). The following table shows the inventory of modern Russian:
Labial | Dental & Alveolar | Post- alveolar/ Palatal | Velar | |||||
hard | soft | hard | soft | hard | soft | hard | soft | |
Nasal | m | mʲ | n | nʲ | ||||
Stop | p b | pʲ bʲ | t d | tʲ dʲ | k ɡ | kʲ ɡʲ | ||
Affricate | t͡s | (t͡sʲ) | t͡ɕ | |||||
Fricative | f v | fʲ vʲ | s z | sʲ zʲ | ʂ ʐ | ɕː ʑː | x | xʲ |
Trill | r | rʲ | ||||||
Approximant | l | lʲ | j |
This general process of palatalization did not occur in Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian. As a result, the modern consonant inventory of these languages is nearly identical to the Late Common Slavic inventory.
Late Common Slavic tolerated relatively few consonant clusters. However, as a result of the loss of certain formerly present vowels (the weak yers), the modern Slavic languages allow quite complex clusters, as in the Russian word взблеск [vzblʲɛsk] ("flash"). Also present in many Slavic languages are clusters rarely found cross-linguistically, as in Russian ртуть [rtutʲ] ("mercury") or Polish mchu [mxu] ("moss", gen. sg.).
A typical vowel inventory is as follows:
Front | Central | Back | |
Close | i | (ɨ) | u |
Mid | e | o | |
Open | a |
The sound [ɨ] occurs only in some languages (Russian, Belarusian, Polish), and even in these languages, it is unclear whether it is its own phoneme or an allophone of /i/. Nonetheless, it is a quite prominent and noticeable characteristic of the languages in which it is present.
Common Slavic also had two nasal vowels: *ę [ẽ] and *ǫ [õ]. However, these are preserved only in modern Polish (along with a few lesser-known dialects and microlanguages).
Other phonemic vowels are found in certain languages (e.g. the schwa /ǝ/ in Bulgarian and Slovenian, distinct high-mid and low-mid vowels in Slovenian, and the lax front vowel /ɪ/ in Ukrainian).
An area of great difference among Slavic languages is that of prosody (i.e. syllabic distinctions such as vowel length, accent, and tone). Common Slavic had a complex system of prosody, inherited with little change from Proto-Indo-European. This consisted of phonemic vowel length and a free, mobile pitch accent:
The modern languages vary greatly in the extent to which they preserve this system. On one extreme, Serbo-Croatian preserves the system nearly unchanged (even more so in the conservative Chakavian dialect); on the other, Macedonian has basically lost the system in its entirety. Between them are found numerous variations:
This section requires expansion. (February 2013) |
Similarly, Slavic languages have extensive morphophonemic alternations in their derivational and inflectional morphology,[15] including between velar and postalveolar consonants, front and back vowels, and between a vowel and no vowel.[17]
The following is a very brief selection of cognates in basic vocabulary across the Slavic language family, which may serve to give an idea of the sound changes involved. This is not a list of translations: cognates have a common origin, but their meaning may be shifted and loanwords may have replaced them.

Most languages of the former Soviet Union and of some neighbouring countries (for example, Mongolian) are significantly influenced by Russian, especially in vocabulary. In the south, the Romanian, Albanian, and Hungarian languages show the influence of the neighboring Slavic nations, especially in vocabulary pertaining to urban life, agriculture, and crafts and trade—the major cultural innovations at times of limited long-range cultural contact. In each one of these languages, Slavic lexical borrowings represent at least 20% of the total vocabulary. However, Romanian has much lower influence from Slavic than Albanian or Hungarian. This is because Slavic tribes crossed and partially settled the territories inhabited by ancient Illyrians and Vlachs on their way to the Balkans.
Although also spoken in neighbouring lands, the Germanic languages show less significant Slavic influence, partly because Slavic migrations were mostly headed south rather than west. Slavic tribes did push westwards into Germanic territory, but borrowing for the most part seems to have been from Germanic to Slavic rather than the other way: for instance, the now-extinct Polabian language was heavily influenced by German, far more than any living Slavic language today. The Slavic contributions to Germanic languages remains a moot question, though Max Vasmer, a specialist in Slavic etymology, has claimed that there were no Slavic loans into Proto-Germanic. The only Germanic languages that shows significant Slavic influence are Yiddish and the historical colonial dialects of German that were spoken East of the Oder–Neisse line, such as Silesian German (formerly spoken in Silesia and South of East Prussia) and the Eastern varieties of East Low German, with the exception of Low Prussian, which had a strong Baltic substratum. Modern Dutch slang, especially the Amsterdam dialect, borrowed much from Yiddish in turn. However, there are isolated Slavic loans (mostly recent) into other Germanic languages. For example, the word for "border" (in modern German Grenze, Dutch grens) was borrowed from the Common Slavic granica. English derives quark (a kind of cheese, not the subatomic particle) from the German Quark, which in turn is derived from the Slavic tvarog, which means "curd". Many German surnames, particularly in Eastern Germany and Austria, are Slavic in origin. Swedish also has torg (market place) from Old Russian tъrgъ or Polish targ,[18] tolk (interpreter) from Old Slavic tlŭkŭ,[19] and pråm (barge) from West Slavonic pramŭ.[20]
The Czech word robot is now found in most languages worldwide, and the word pistol, probably also from Czech, is found in many Indo-European languages, including Greek (πιστόλι, pistóli).
A well-known Slavic word in almost all European languages is vodka, a borrowing from Russian водка (vodka) – which itself was borrowed from Polish wódka (lit. "little water"), from common Slavic voda ("water", cognate to the English word) with the diminutive ending "-ka".[21][22] Owing to the medieval fur trade with Northern Russia, Pan-European loans from Russian include such familiar words as sable.[23] The English word "vampire" was borrowed (perhaps via French vampire) from German Vampir, in turn derived from Serbian vampir, continuing Proto-Slavic *ǫpyrь,[24][25] although Polish scholar K. Stachowski has argued that the origin of the word is early Slavic *vąpěrь, going back to Turkic oobyr.[26] Several European languages, including English, have borrowed the word polje (meaning "large, flat plain") directly from the former Yugoslav languages (i.e. Slovene, Croatian, and Serbian). During the heyday of the USSR in the 20th century, many more Russian words became known worldwide: da, Soviet, sputnik, perestroika, glasnost, kolkhoz, etc. Also in the English language borrowed from Russian is samovar (lit. "self-boiling") to refer to the specific Russian tea urn.
The following tree for the Slavic languages derives from the Ethnologue report for Slavic languages.[27] It includes the ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3 codes where available.

Our alarm clock has become very difficult for him to hear. He's slept through his alarm twice in the last month, making him late for work.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a moderately priced alarm clock for the hearing impaired? I'd like to get something for him that's loud enough for him, but won't wake up my kids in the bedrooms next to us.
I saw a number of clocks on Amazon, but they have mixed reviews. The vibrating ones look interesting, but again...mixed reviews.
Do any of you have any experience that you can share?

Maybe put a timer on a bedside light?

It looks like there is a wristband version as well.
Thanks! I'm willing to try both at this point!
Of course, they run $100-150, so you'd really only want to go that route if you also wanted the fitness features and it were going to be a multi-purpose purchase.
[This message edited by Amazonia at 6:13 PM, December 30th (Monday)]
As his bedmate, I have to agree.
We took a look at some of the vibrating alarm clocks and ordered a Sonic Boom from Amazon. He's also going to hookup the timer on the lights this weekend when he has a moment or two.
Wish us luck!

Euro League - Do You Believe ME
Artist: Euro League
Producer: Inphanyte
Album: Cloud 9: Annunaki Rap
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 6 votes )
Although his stage name may lead you to believe that Euro League is a group of savvy European's keen on electro-trance music and designer threads, the Bronx native is far from that. The twenty-something emcee may be new to our pages, but he already boasts an impressive resume which includes a nod from TDE spitter's Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q, who he dropped a few bars for during the taping of Rigamortus last year. For his Booth debut, we have selected EP stand out Do You Believe ME, which touches on everything from faith to self-discovery. With the backing of fellow Bronx native and producer Inphanyte's sax-focused boardwork, the young emcee exudes a modest amount of lyrical confidence on the jazzy tune. If Euro League's Booth debut has landed the rapper on your radar then be sure to check out his newly-released project, Cloud 9: Annunaki Rap, out now for free download.

Lil Wayne had Big EgoSubmitted by Not Original (not verified) on Tue, 10/23/2007 - 8:37pm.
The thug is a poser. He does some petty crime, glorifies it, exposes it as being wrongly ACCUSED, all the while he's trying to earn some sick street 'cred' with the youth. He's a PUNK in the purest form of the word. He's not expressing ANYTHANG that is even remotely individual or original in his whole persona. He looks, sounds, dresses, acts, blames, curses, acts disingenuinely shocked, and is self-centered just all the rest of the rap world. Every inch of this wannabe is orchestrated. What a man! And shame on the NHCBoE for pretending not to know.

Geoff Ogilvy injures finger
Updated: January 5, 2011, 11:52 PM ET
Associated Press
KAPALUA, Hawaii -- Geoff Ogilvy might not be able to defend his title in the Tournament of Champions after cutting open his finger on a coral reef at the beach and taking 12 stitches to sew it up.
Ogilvy was coming in from the surf Tuesday when he cut his right index finger on the reef.
"It's not so much a big cut, it's just in an awkward position," said Paul Galli, his manager. "It was fairly deep, and when you're on the reef, you've got to be careful with an infection. They cleaned ...

Most states have rescinded their requirements that brides and grooms be tested for STDs, but one Oklahoma lawmaker would like to reverse this trend.
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a looming public health crisis. Last week, the White House simultaneously released a national strategy, a report, and an executive order from the president that takes aim at this issue.
This week, a new study presents evidence that the parasite that causes trich might lead to prostate cancer, a new list shows the best and worst states for STIs, a Gallup poll shows the most support ever for same-sex marriage, and gay rights activist Harvey Milk is honored with a stamp.
This week, one app is blamed for a syphilis outbreak, while another wants you to practice cunnilingus by licking your phone.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released sexually transmitted disease surveillance data for 2012, and the news is not good: Cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis all continued to rise.
A new website asks members to sign up for frequent STD testing and lets them share their results with other members confidentially. Encouraging STD testing is a good thing, but the site has major flaws. And when it comes to STDs, I can't help but wonder if we would do best to leave the digital world in our pocket and just talk.
In a rare move, a porn actor was jailed for spreading syphilis to his co-stars. His attorney argues that he is the victim of political posturing.
In this week's sexual health roundup: A pill may have led to the sexual revolution, but it was penicillin – not birth control; new research says the first time a person has sex really is important; and testosterone release is immediate upon mutual attraction.
California Gov. Jerry Brown calls reparative therapy quackery as he signs a law banning the practice of changing teens' sexual orientation; syphilis rates spike in Houston; and Big-Apple guys choose big condoms.
Kaiser Permanente makes it incredibly challenging for gay men to get the STD tests they need, hurdles that help fuel the spread of STIs in our community – including HIV. This is especially troubling at a time when new antibiotic-resistant strains of gonorrhea have emerged.

I have about 22 yrs UK contributions and about 25 year Irish PRSI contribution. I am about to retire and have applied to Sligo office for my pension. The UK office told me to apply via Sligo office for UK pension. The Sligo office has stated how much I will receive which is not a full pension. They have not taken account of the UK contribution and said they do not pay the UK contribution, but have applied on my behalf. Does this mean that I will receive extra pension direct from the UK.
Based on 25 years contributions in Ireland you should be entitled to a 98% pension = €218.90 I would put a seperate application to the UK (The Pension Service, Tyneview Park, International Pension Centre, NE98 1 BA England). Quote your Social Security No. if you still have it. Otherwise give your name and any addresses you had while in the UK, employers names and dates where you worked and they will look after it for you. You will be paid a reduced rate of pension from the UK which together with your Irish pension will be a lot better than full rate Irish pension only
Thanks Black Sheep, you are bang on with amount from Ireland + €148.90 for my wife. When I wrote to the UK Pensions Office in Newcastle, they replied and told me I had to apply through the Sligo office, which I think they have done. I am still assuming that I will receive payment direct from the UK (not so good at the moment with the exchange rate)
You will receive the UK portion of your pension in sterling equivalent, so it matters little whether it is paid direct or through the Irish system. What you could do, if you still have interests in the UK, is to open a sterling account to avoid paying FX both ways. If you are totally in Ireland, then your UK income will vary with the exchange rate.
This seem full of contradiction, A friend of mine who is past retirement age says that he is getting UK pension with his Irish pension. and is receiving the 100% Irish limit only. Sligo told me they do not pay UK pension wich makes sense since they do not have this in my 98% assessment. Do I or do I not receive UK pension?I seem to be getting the run around Can any confirm
If you do not qualify for a State Pension (Transition) or State Pension (Contributory) on Irish contributions alone, you can add on contributions that were paid in the UK. These may help you qualify for a reduced State Pension (Contributory) from Ireland but you may also qualify for a pension (not a portion of your Irish pension) from the UK.
I have just processed a UK pension recently for a friend. He had worked part time for just over 2 years in the UK in the sixties while going to college. He applied directly to UK and yesterday received notification from them that his pension will be £4.30 per week paid annually at Christmas + £10 Christmas bonus. His wife will also receive 60% of his pension. He has a full Irish pension Note The portion which his wife receives will give her an entitlement to a medical card (regardless of income)
Interesting all the variations. When my wife applied at 60 having been born in the UK and after hacving a few years contribution she was refused because she did not have enough contribution. They seem to keep moving the goal post.
How long since your wife applied ?. My friend applied in Jan 2006 and got back a reply stating that as he had not enough contributions - no pension. Then a few days ago all the detail came awarding the £4.30 and arrears back to April 2005
The U.K. allows backdated voluntary contributions from 1996 - 2006 to be made within April 2009. These contributions cost £300 something per year and in my opinion are a great idea. They can be paid even if one is already drawing the U.K. pension.
Thanks all for your comments, but it is still not clear to me if I receive a separatate UK pension. Just to re-cap. UK office told me to apply through SLIGO, Sligo have given me a 98% Irish pension on average taken from 1979. No mention of credits from the UK. 22 years previous to 1979. Sligo tell me they do not pay UK pension. who do I contact now ? Others I have talked to with UK & Irish contributions are only receiveing an Irish pension.
I would think that you have to apply to UK for a separte UK pension based on 22 years contributions. See here ? It odes not appear, from what you say, that the Irish Pension is based on a conbination of both records. Take Balcksheep's advice above and contatc them.
Hope it's Ok to piggyback on this thread. I worked in the Uk for 24 years, moved to Ireland but continued working in UK and paying UK taxes etc for another 4 years, and will probably work & pay taxes in Ireland for around 22 years. I know the goalposts shift considerably, but as it stands now, what level of pensions would I be entitled to?
It's possible that he would get the 100% pension if all 25 years of Irish PRSI were in one block but because of the possibility of any Irish PRSI paid before the UK payments this would reduce the yearly average. As the OP did not give the full details of when payments were made I took the more cautious approach and suggested the 98% pension. This would be certain and the 100% is a possibility
A bit of advice on this. keep an accurate record of all employers and employment dates, and date unemployed if signing on. The pensions will give you an assement matrix with all your credit and payments base on all the years you have been paying PRSI. They can get it wrong, and even got it wrong last year for myself + ommitted my self employed contributions, this will reduce your average.
Roker, Did you get your records from the Central Records Office. They should have all records of PRSI paid during your full working life. The Pension Office appear to have records only back to 1979 when they became computerized. Yes I agree with you it is important to keep your own records just to be sure. I always advise P60,s should be kept forever though people think I,m crazy
I got my statements from the Pensions in Sligo. I had to get my accountant to prove that I had paid self employed contribution from 2003 I was not given any statements at the time and this was missed from my pension assessment.
Not bad advice! I would always advise people that it is their responsibility to monitor PRSI records, etc.. as you can't depend on the dept. getting it 100% right given the volumes of records they have to mainain. Things can go wrong very easily (such as an employer returning PRSI under a wrong number, employer not paying PRSI, etc) Only the individual knows what should be on their record.

Have always left pleased- far better then Starbucks! Great coffee, delicious pastries & warm atmosphere
I can never pass this place up if I am near Olympia. Enjoy a cup the and take a bad of beans home. Wish it wasn't 95 miles from my home.
Stopped here for some breakfast. The coffee was great and the barista was helpful explaining all the options. The almond croissant I had was heavenly. The layout in the store was very nice, normally coffee shops are cramped and you feel guilty squeezing between the tables, here there was space to get around without knocking anyone elses table.
Visit here each time I visit Olympia. After shopping, my friend and I always stop here for a rest and coffee. Different coffees of the day every day. The staff is great.
I went in to grab a London fog when the barista suggested to me a completely different (but slightly similar) drink. Loved it! The staff was all so friendly and helpful. The tea was amazing with a good selection. They also offer sweet snacks as well as breakfasty items. A good selection of gluten free and vegan options.
Batdorf and Bronson is a straightforward independent coffee shop. They sell their blends in and around Oly, to different restaurants and coffee stands. Their drip coffee is TOP NOTCH. For my taste, their espresso runs a little smooth, lacking the bite of Starbucks. But no worries, just add an extra shot to any order. Service is TOP NOTCH. Jon, who... More
The first coffee roaster in Olympia, and it soon gained a national reputation. In one of the first articles in the New York Times about the nascent premium coffee roasting industry, the writer kept badgering the head of the national trade association to tell him which of his many members' roasts was his personal favorite. The industry rep obviously didn't... More
There are several locations of B&B as it is known locally around Olympia and the coffee is good. The tasting room is fun to visit with knowledgable staff and tasting options. They do a lot of green in their facilities, and it is fun to learn more about it. They give free used coffee grounds for local gardeners.
This is one busy coffee shop. Located just a few doors down from a Starbucks. Highly recommend it here, my latte was delicious and the leather chairs are super comfy! Will be back soon!
I rated this coffee house excellent even though all we had was a couple cups of drip coffee so hard to evaluate. However, those cups were delicious and the place itself is spacious, well-lighted, and pretty. Coffee to drink there is served in real cups with a free refill.

I am running mine with 3S sometimes, but the metal bushes are not for 3S for sure!!!
I am thinking in changing then for ball bearings: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._4pc_118B.html I know it will be a 10 bucks upgrade on a 50 bucks car, but the metal bushes makes a lot of noise. What do you think about that? Thanks from Brazil, Evandro |

In the short spaces (yard, driveway, etc) my son and I race, speed is not a problem, in fact I've got his set at 50% throttle. So I wouldn't need 3s or bearings. But if you need more speed, that would seem to be the place to start. I love the low center of gravity, these things spin out instead of flip. My next upgrade will be something to help the shocks. We only take small jumps, off curbs, etc, but you can hear the trucks land hard. |

Has anyone done extensive testing with a three call LiPo? Does the stock ESC need a fan to run it on higher voltage? I am planning on using a two cell in it, however I would like to know the limitations of the stock setup. |

I have built my own body for this buggy. I carved it out of some foam and then vacuum formed it. This is my first attempt i only spend half hour to and hour carving it so not to detailed. I have painted my wheels and added an LED to the front. The led is handy for night driving just to tell what direction its heading in.

Nice job, I ordered a losi body off of ebay for my son's car so we could tell them apart. It took quite a bit of cutting to fit right. Yours fits perfectly.
(I didn't have the time to do strip and repaint detailed in this thread, but that maybe a winter project for the extra body) |

Hey Guys,
Have been kept busy fixing my RC's recently :P broke the Bell crank set and couldn't be bothered ordering another plastic one from HK so i decided to make 1 myself, made it out of scrap metal we had lying around somewhere and did the drawing up for it in CAD printed it out and used a grinder and dremel to get it into the right shape. Anyway at the moment i am busy attempting to fix 2 cars at the same time, (set up my old kyosho with a new brushless motor and esc and its fair to say that i stripped a couple of gears after 2 days haha) but with the turnigy i will upload the template for the bellcrank main peice (the main part that has broken on me) in a PDF when i track it down and you guys can feel free to make your own out of metal to get stronger one's if your that way inclined. (P.S i know that it looks abit dodgy but thats not the diagram thats the 16 year old me "learning" how to use the dremel and grinder to make parts haha this was going to be the test part but is now becoming the actual part) |

Wow, what a PIA,
I killed my steering servo, so I figured, no biggie, I've got a bag full of spare servos. Not a single ONE had an output shaft that fit the servo saver (which did NOT live up to its same,) so I pulled the output gear from the dead servo and installed it in a ht900 servo. It works, but things are out of alignment, I didn't check that the top part of the new servo was the same 'height' as the old, it is not, and now the steering mechanism bangs into stuff. TOUGH, It works, it runs. well it did for 10 minutes before I, for the first time, broke the front shock tower, I've got three bags of extra parts for these trucks, I was sure I had a shock tower. NOPE, and they are back ordered. does anyone know if some other part will fit, say something from LOSI? |

STUART HAWLEY (BART) BARTHOLOMEW 2/05/25 7/12/13 Stuart Hawley (Bart) Bartholomew died peacefully in his home on Friday, July 12, 2013, after being ill for several months. Bart was fond of phrases as a way of summing up a person or a situation. One of the last things he said was, "He was a fine man." Everyone who knew Bart will agree this was an apt description of him, a man who was loved and adored by his family and respected and appreciated by his friends and colleagues. Bart was born to Claire Kenneth and Jane Bartholomew on February 5, 1925, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His family soon moved to Oregon, and he spent most of his childhood in the Lake Oswego area. Bart was still in high school when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. On his 17th birthday, he enlisted in the Navy in order to become a carrier fighter pilot. Fortunately for Bart, his family to be, and the heavy construction industry, the Navy decided that he would make a better engineer than pilot. The Navy enrolled Bart in NROTC programs at the
University of Washington
and later the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned his bachelor of science degree in civil engineering. Bart went on to earn a master of science degree in civil engineering, also from UC Berkeley. He was deployed briefly with the Seabees to Guam near the end of
World War II
. While serving there, Bart worked for the legendary dam builder, Harvey Slocum, an association that had a major influence on his career. As a student at Berkeley, he met Carol Hughes, who became his first wife and mother of their four children. After his discharge from active duty and a brief (and uninspiring) employment as a design engineer for the U.S.
Corps of Engineers, Bart followed Harvey Slocum to work on Bull Shoals Dam in Arkansas. This was the beginning of Bart's long and notably successful career in the heavy construction industry, which included such projects as Bhakra Dam in Punjab, India; Karnaphuli Dam in Bangladesh; port and rail facilities in Port Hedland, Western Australia; several segments of the Bay Area Rapid Transit system in San Francisco and the East Bay; and numerous marine, bridge, transportation and tunneling projects in the Midwest and on the East Coast. In the late 1960s, Bart met and went to work for John Sault of Fruin-Colnon Corporation, becoming a vice president and member of the board of directors before his retirement in the early 1980s. It was during his employment with Fruin-Colnon that he formed many of the friendships and close relationships with both colleagues and competitors that he so valued as the most enduring and meaningful aspect of his work. Bart was a Fellow and Life Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a member of both the Moles and Beavers heavy engineering construction associations for over 25 years. Bart married Margaret Gegg in 1962. Margaret's three children and Bart's four children formed a large family that bonded over many years of holidays, summers and celebrations. Married in California, they later moved to Western Australia, returned to the Bay Area, then moved to St. Louis, Mo., where they lived for nine years. Bart always attributed much of his professional success to Margaret's constancy, support and acceptance of his career and the demands it made on their family life. In 1984, they returned to California and settled in Chico, where they were very active participants in the community. Bart and Margaret chose to retire in Chico so that Bart could pursue a second career as a professor of Construction Management at California State University, Chico. He wanted to contribute to the industry he loved so much through teaching and mentoring its next generation of leaders. The many Chico State Construction Management graduates now working in the heavy civil construction industry who remember Bart with fondness, respect and appreciation are the testament to his success that he most valued. He also published college text books on the legal aspects of construction and heavy construction estimating, which are still in use. While he was teaching, Bart remained active in the heavy construction industry through his consulting business and service on numerous dispute resolution boards. In 2000 the Beavers honored him with its annual Engineering Award for outstanding achievement in Heavy Engineering Construction. He attended his last Beavers Award Dinner in January, 2013, shortly before he became seriously ill. After Bart's retirement from teaching and consulting, Bart and Margaret finally had the time to travel and fully enjoy their many dogs, children and grandchildren and pursue their lifelong passion for music and the arts. Bart began singing lessons, which he enjoyed immensely. Margaret and Bart had a rewarding life together in their 49 years of marriage. Bart remained an active member and past secretary of the Chico Breakfast Lions Club until his death. Margaret died in 2012. Bart is survived by his sons, Steve Bartholomew (Lyn), Tony Bartholomew (Naomi), Jay Bartholomew (Cindy), all of Keaau, Hawaii, Nate Bartholomew (Kathy) of Portland, Oregon and Bill Gegg (Sharon) of Pleasant Hill, and daughters Caroline Gegg of Pleasant Hill and Margot Gegg (Larry Mitchell) of Chico. Bart's grandchildren are Josh (Kate), Jevon, Bryna, Weslee, Courtney, Andrew, Kelly, Robin (Kainoa), Kyle (Joan), Evan (Kelly) and Levi (Melissa). He has a number of great-grandchildren. He is also survived by niece Louise Specht (Tim) and their children, Liz and Greg. In the early fall, Bart's family and friends will gather at the family home in Chico to remember and celebrate his life.

PARIS (AP) — Paris fashion's enfant terrible, Jean Paul Gaultier— whose design signatures include the nautical stripe — has inaugurated his first international exhibit in the Netherlands.
The "Fashion world of Jean Paul Gaultier" at Rotterdam's Kunsthal gallery traces about 35 years of the designer's avant-garde creations including loans from Madonna — whose post-feminist conical bra is now the stuff of fashion legend.
More than 140 original creations, from the 60-year-old Gaultier's haute couture line to his ready-to-wear, also include movie costumes loaned from Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.
Though Rotterdam is far from Paris, Gaultier brought it a little nearer to his home by decorating a Thalys train with his famed nautical stripes that links the French capital with Rotterdam.
The exhibit opens to the public Sunday and runs until May 12.
