Nonnie is my nickname and has been since I was about 6 years old, which is eons ago, as I am now 54. My interest in making jewelry began with faceted gemstones – studying, identifying and making jewelry with them. From that I somehow began buying beads which then led to my beading habit. Now it has been about a year and I have enjoyed every single minute of it, the shopping as well as the beading. I've turned one of the spare bedrooms into my "Gem Room" and it's my "happy place". It's where I go to relax and when I have been inspired to create something. I have a couple of desks, beads hanging on the wall, a super comfortable futon, my computer, and stacks and stacks of beads to play with.
My wonderful husband of umpteen million years lovingly supports my beading habit. We have 2 sons that we are very proud of and 1 beautiful daughter in law. Update – I now have my first grandchild. His name is Thomas and he is cute as a button! He was born January 27, 2012.

Write for Us!
Write for Us!
We are always looking for new articles and new authors. If you feel that a subject is important or needs better explanation then we probably do as well. Writing on something you feel passionate about is always easier than writing about something that does not interest you.
Tutorials, reviews, overviews as well as case studies and news are always needed. If you are a member of a user group then why not tell us about it.
We can handle any type of submission but prefer e-mail. Screenshots are always welcome. Try to give us some help by mentioning the subject in the header of the e-mail or letter.
General Guidance
Articles are usually about 800 words per page although code listings and images will reduce this. If possible try to write full pages.
As we sell in many countries and translate into other languages try not to write in slang or use too many idioms. Try to plan ahead. By the time the magazine reaches your desk it has gone through many stages from production, printing and distribution. This means if you say something will happen next week in an article, in the magazine on your desk that date has already passed.
Please send in your proposals to email@example.com.
Please read more about Formatting your text.
Please contact the Managing Editor with any questions regarding proposals or manuscripts at edit AT linux-magazine DOT com. Be sure to include "Proposal" or "Manuscript" in the email subject line.

One does not have to be particularly interested in history or even interested in archaeology to succumb to the charm of the excavations of Empúries.
The Greeks settled here beginning during the sixth Century before Christ, and later the Romans selected the place for their settlement, surely not only from strategic considerations, but certainly because it also pleased them. | |
Greek city, in the background the archaeological museum |
numerous holidaymakers a visit of the ruins of Empúries is an annual vacation
ritual. The excavations are less
than two kilometres from L'Escala and can be reached by foot comfortably along
the beach promenade. If you arrive
from a direction other than the promenade you must look for the sign "ruines
d'Empuries." Care must be
taken, for many visit attempts, even by university graduates find themselves at
the ruins in Sant Pere Pescador and leave frustrated, hoping to find Empúries
next time.
you arrive by car, and find the correct signs, you can drive your the car quite
close to the ruins and park there. Before
entering you must purchase tickets, cash only, for 2,40 euro.
This is a good bargain, and includes admission to the archaeological
museum. In addition, you will
receive an explanatory brochure with a helpful map.
The brochures are available in several languages, including English.
Plan to spend at least 1 hour 15 minutes for the main walkabout.
If you have time, consider a longer visit.
However, try to avoid midday. The walk to and through the excavations is
unshaded and in general L'Escala it usually two degrees warmer than, for
instance Roses. On the other hand
an ideal day to visit is when the Tramonatana rages uncomfortably around the Cap
de Creus. The Tramontana hardly
ever affects this area, and if it does it will only be as a refreshing breeze.
The actual town foundation for the 6-century before Christ buildings are not part of the visible excavations. The oldest building ruins are under, or were replaced by, the village St Martí d'Empuries. This village with its restored centre and the late gothic church is also a popular destination. The sand beach directly in front is beautiful and in the best way maintained... | |
St. Marti d'Empuries |
and is in point times also accordingly frequented.
If you do visit St. Martí d'Empuries in the off-season (and we really
recommend a visit), should not forget, if it is good weather, trunk and towel.
Some history
In the V century before Christ the Greeks shifted Emporion to the location of the current excavations (the current St Marti d'Empuries). Emporion became rapid one of antiquity's most important commercial ports of the Mediterranean. | |
Greek city |
During the second Punic war, in the third century before Christ, Emporion became a Roman possession, called Emporiae. This was the beginning of the romanisation of the Iberian Peninsula.
Caesar probably found Emporiae to be a special place.
He built a new Roman settlement behind the originally Greek city that was
ten times larger than the prior one (today we would call the addition an
urbanisation) for homes for war veterans.
So that the inhabitants were not bored, he - naturally - constructed an
Amphitheatre and for the sport training of the citizens he had a sports field
built. Fashion shops and taverns
were grouped around the forum. The
homes were not the dull drab architecture of a social welfare-building project;
mansion fragments show the construction to include generous sized facilities and
wonderful ornamentation mosaics on the floor.
Empúries lost its importance, in the third Century after Christ the city was
completely abandoned. When, during
the 17-century, fishermen created L'Escala, many Greek and Roman stones from
Emporion or Emporiae served as the building material.
of Greek and Roman town construction art and their essential structures can be
visited in Empúries: The Greeks
adapted their places to the site and the terrain, while the Romans designed
their plan and made the land accommodate their chessboard-similar raster pattern
for their cities.
visible excavations in Empúries began in the year 1908 and continue today.
Only about 25 % of the surface is observable.
is not our intention to offer more than a superficial description of the
excavations of Empúries. We would like to urge, however, that our readers visit
Empúries. You will be moved by the
experience. Go for any or all of
the following reasons: to spend some moments at a quite special place, or to
impress the children with the remnants of a bygone era, or to learn more of
man's history. Your visit in
springtime will present a peaceful time to imagine how our ancestors lived.

Not knowing exactly what is being meant by training I will have to answer this way.
When I was 14 I went to an International BB Gun competition which required shooting session a couple of times a week for several months in preparation for that. Got out of HS and went into the Army. Did my stay there and other than the Texas CHL class, everything else has been on my own. Been shooting, and hunting, and teaching others from kids to adults how to shoot ever since I was 14. The first 15 years of my shooting focused on rifles mostly, and the last 10 or so has been mostly pistols. Rifles at the ranges I am able to shoot at around here just aren't challenging, but pistols definately are.

I don't know how many golfers live here, but millions of non-golfers all over the world have been drawn to this story over the last five or so months. If you're not watching his return to professional golf, you might want to have someone put a mirror under your nostrils to check for signs of breathing. So cast your vote in my very first poll, and please elaborate on your choice if you care to.

He'll qualify, but if he's not over par going into the last round, I'll be amazed. Two entirely different realms.
"Guns don't kill people. Male Kennedy's kill people."
lon, I think Tiger has the capability of winning, and I know he's going to be hungry for the win to show the nay-sayers he's still in the game, but there are others who are going to be as determined to win that's why I put him as finishing in the top ten.
"As an American, I was not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials"...Newt Gingrich The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
Wouldn't that be an incredible story....if he DID win?
I agree with Car54, he's not going to win it, but he'll definitely finish in the top 10.
Because of all of the media hype, this will be as big as the SuperBowl. Especially if he is in the hunt. JMHO.
Man, I'll be glad when it goes back to stories about gold when it comes to him. I have said from the beginning this is not news. There are more important things to look at than who some golfer is boinking. Now catch him with a sheep and I"ll pay more attention. Ti-i-i-i-i-iiige-e-e-err-r-r-r--rrrr Coo-o-o-m-m-m-e Ba-a-a-a--ack!!! Yo-o-o-o-o-ou sa-a-a--aaii-i-i-iid yo-o-o-o-o-o--oou Lo-o-o-o-ved me-e-e-ee heh
Mickelson wins the Masters. Tiger was 4th.
The FTF polls again are more accurate than Rasmussen!
The guy couldn't keep it in his pants. He's an unfaithful jerk. I don't care about his return to golf or his return to a whorehouse. He's not worth my time or energy.

More and more scientists each and every day are abandoning this ridiculous climate change agenda as more evidence is found that not only has the earth stopped warming 16 years ago as CO2 emiissions continue to climb, but the increased CO2 has led to a significant greening of the earth.
NASA satellites confirm this. Even the IPCC is struggling to maintain credibility.
So why do politicians still cling to this? Money. Power. Control through fear.
