Getting back into the swing of things.
Hello everyone!!
It's been awhile since I've posted but I've been lurking :).
** Karen ** :: Been thinking about you and hope things are going as well as they possibly can for you.
Most of you know that I kinda hit the pits after losing my beloved FIL & and a best friend within a week back in May. I just lost all ambition for decorating of any kind but now I'm finally making some progress in pulling myself back together.
I've managed getting back to work and the 4 pug boys keep me moving so not much time to be down at this point.
DH has gone back to working 12 hours a day , 7 days a week for awhile and I found myself alone with allot of time on my hands so I went the basement for the first time in months. It was really kind of nice to dig through things again.
Will make a follow up post with a few pics of what I've managed so far (if I can remember how to post the darn pics...lol)
First I set the table (bare since May)...
Lost the pic of the side cabinet but will get to that in a bit. I'm rather proud of this one as it's different for me.
Then onto the hallway..
moving right along to the bathroom nook...
still steaming ahead to the living room..
Then ran out of steam..lol
Here's my "project in waiting". He's a little cast iron squirrel given to me by my neighbor "Grammy". He's at least 50 years old.
I have intentions of putting him on a cake plate pedestal that I've sprayed harvest gold, if I can ever find one of the flipping things again. I see em everywhere when I don't need one but now they've all went into hiding and I'm NOT using my good one. lol
Oh, I posted at the same time you were adding pics!
And I LOVE your antique squirrel! He looks cute here on the wood pedestal, too!
Love that hallway pitcher, too...the colors are wonderful & you've added some pretty foilage & such.
You've been busy ...that t'cloth looks lovely layered ...nice bright blue! And that centerpc bowl is beautiful! Hope this brought a smile to your face ...cause you did bring one to mine! TFS, milosmom! Jeanne S.
Great to have you back Sarah, Life can sure take a toll on us at times can't it? Your little squirel is so cute. Hope you can find a cake pedestal soon. My car is in the garage for some major repairs so I am having major thrift redrawal. Your little cannon is unique. The arrangement in the pitcher and bowl is pretty. I love how you have used the ivy around the bowl. Glad to have you back, Janet
Adding the side cabinet (which I presume it helps to actually load the pic to SFly in the first place..lol)
The lamps, boat and books came from a raid on my friends "get rid ofs". The candleholders were a TS find, the pineapple I already had and the clay piece next to the books was made for me by my son last year in art class.
Janet ::
The little canon is indeed unique.
A one of a kind actually as my husband drew the plans out for it and made it as a metalargy project his Sr year in highschool.
Each piece of it was individually graphed on paper to spec detail and handmade of the metal , right down to the little pins holding the wheels on.
He made it for his Dad and after his passing, he toted it home.That thing is heavvvy so I can't easily hide it, might as well decorate with it. :-)
Bless him , the dear man has a degree in metalargy/drafting/milling but doesn't use it.
He graduated up to playing with/programming robots for a living instead. LOL
So glad to have you back posting with us. Hope the sad times are behind you and you see brighter days ahead. Love your table and that cp bowl is awesome.
Your bowl and pitcher is so pretty and you've added a neat variety in it. Beautiful spider plant and I love the red and gold candle holders. The cannon is a neat project DH made and wonderful that you display it. Looks great in the cubby with all your brass candle holders.
That's a pretty cool squirrel your friend passed on to you. Hope you find a cake plate pedestal for it. Side cabinet looks great as always. Aren't friends so fun when they share with us? You really got some neat things. Great find on the candle holders. Tell DS to keep up the good work in Art Class.
I've missed you and kept you in my prayers. Hope DH doesn't have to keep that work schedule to long.
Way to go, Sarah! You ARE back! I'm so happy for you, and for us getting to see your decorating again!
Everything looks so lovely! The black and gold table is quite striking. Both the cannon and the squirrel are wonderful, I love things with a 'history'. Also I really like the way you did the bathroom nook! And boy, I've missed seeing your side cabinet decorating. ;o)
I appreciate you thinking about me. I believe things are starting to look up here too. (other than the fact I tripped and took a really hard fall Sat night. Fell totally flat on my chest on the floor. Knocked the breath out of me, and pain so bad I thought I'd broken some ribs. Took about 5 min before I could move, then get up. But I didn't break anything, just bruised my sternum and its been rather painful since.) I still haven't decorated, and my beachy-summer stuff is still packed as I've procrastinated my way thru all of July on getting it out.
BUT....two friends took me to my favorite antique mall on Sunday, and are taking me to Hobby Lobby on Wed. I think.
Retail Therapy is back hopefully. LOL.
But actually the very best thing for me is I just got a puppy. Another Whippet of course. Even tho I have 5 adults, and sure didn't need another dog, he was irresistable. My friend had a litter 11 wks ago, and I saw them a couple of times, and totally fell in love with little Mac. So today he came home with me. Its impossible to be sad around a puppy!
Forgive me for rambling on, don't mean to hijack your thread. I'm truly happy you are doing better and definitely enjoyed seeing you back in action.
hugs, Karen
Glad to see you back into the swing of things, Sarah.
I know how hard it is to lose loved ones.
Love your table, it looks so cool on these hot summer days.
Looks like you've been busy with your decorating, it does give you a lift doesn't it? The candle stick lamps on your side table are lovely and I especially like the squirrel and cannon.
Geez Karen, I hope you are alright!!
Your new puppy is too cute.
I would never have the energy to care for a puppy at this stage in my life.
So glad that you are feeling better and once again able to decorate and share with us. Everything looks lovely and I know you will enjoy the changes too. I really love your squirrel, that is a wonderful piece. I think he needs an acorn in his hands for sure! LOL
Karen, little Mac is precious. I hope he will bring you many smiles.
Love EVERYTHING!!! You have done a wonderful job. Know it is tiring, however I sure needed to see some new pics. LOL
The table setting, love the colors, the bowl and pitcher, very creative, the nook is very unique, the cannon is like Karen said, history looking, the little squirrel some how just speaks for itself, Amazing side cabinet. All well done. Keep up the good work!!
Karen your Mac is precious.. If my husband would let me, I would get another kitten. Always makes you feel so relaxed and excited. Genuine love.
Look forward to seeing more pics.
Take Care,
Thank you everyone :).
((Karen)) :: Goooood grief!! What an awful tumble. I do hope you're alright. Love your new little friend. What a cutie.
Yes, they do seem to have a way of making us happy-(ier). We've had the foster puggie , Mickey, for just over a month now and in as much as I didn't PLAN to get a 4th boy... he's grown on my husband something awful so I figure he's staying. LOL Haven't made the formal adoption yet as he's still under medical arrest but it's coming. I'm gullible - what can I say.
here is our brat boy (and I mean this honestly), he came from a puppymill so teaching him manners and living in a house has been an adventure alright.
.............................. What??....................
Sarah..I've been away for a week, and just got back and saw your post...
.so glad to see you're back and in the 'Groove' again!
You've been missed..
Seems like you've been busy around your home - everything looks lovely...I too love that Squirrel (laughing at Luvs -who thinks it needs an acorn) !!
Look forward to seeing more of you.
Karen...hope you're okay from that awful fall...
Little Mac looks like a precious little guy...I'm so happy you found ea other!!
So glad you are back!! We have missed all of your lovely TS's and sideboards.
That table is quite dramatic with the black and gold and blue.
I like all of your other areas also, but my fav is your "new" squirrel! Can't wait to see what all you do with him.

Dear Editor,
President Obama's choice of Nevada to announce his all encompassing amnesty program is curious. Nevada's 10.2 unemployment rate is the nation's highest. Las Vegas, where Obama spoke, has a 10.4 percent unemployment rate. Nevada unemployment is so acute that more than four and a half years have passed since a single construction worker showed up at the unfinished $4.75 billion Echelon mega resort.

Article: Comparison of combined X-ray radiography and magnetic resonance (XMR) imaging-versus computed tomography-based dosimetry for the evaluation of permanent prostate brachytherapy implants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To present a method for the dosimetric analysis of permanent prostate brachytherapy implants using a combination of stereoscopic X-ray radiography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (XMR) in an XMR facility, and to compare the clinical results between XMR- and computed tomography (CT)-based dosimetry. Patients who had received nonstranded iodine-125 permanent prostate brachytherapy implants underwent XMR and CT imaging 4 weeks later. Four observers outlined the prostate gland on both sets of images. Dose-volume histograms (DVHs) were derived, and agreement was compared among the observers and between the modalities. A total of 30 patients were evaluated. Inherent XMR registration based on prior calibration and optical tracking required a further automatic seed registration step that revealed a median root mean square registration error of 4.2 mm (range, 1.6-11.4). The observers agreed significantly more closely on prostate base and apex positions as well as outlining contours on the MR images than on those from CT. Coefficients of variation were significantly higher for observed prostate volumes, D90, and V100 parameters on CT-based dosimetry as opposed to XMR. The XMR-based dosimetry showed little agreement with that from CT for all observers, with D90 95% limits of agreement ranges of 65, 118, 79, and 73 Gy for Observers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The study results showed that XMR-based dosimetry offers an alternative to other imaging modalities and registration methods with the advantages of MR-based prostate delineation and confident three-dimensional reconstruction of the implant. The XMR-derived dose-volume histograms differ from the CT-derived values and demonstrate less interobserver variability.International Journal of Radiation OncologyBiologyPhysics 09/2008; 71(5):1518-25.

Article: Impact of electromagnetic field exposure limits in Europe: Is the future of interventional MRI safe?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The European Union (EU) has recently introduced a directive that aims to protect workers from adverse effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields. All countries within the EU are required to incorporate this directive into their national law by 2008. This legislation applies to all types of occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields with frequencies from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. It has dramatic implications for interventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, because workers who are close to the MR scanner while scanning is taking place are exposed at levels substantially above the exposure limits. This is especially the case for time-varying magnetic fields in the 110 Hz-5 kHz range, which includes the field from the imaging gradients. In this article, the scientific evidence on which the limits are based is brought into question. It is concluded that an urgent review of the directive is required and that more research, especially at MR gradient frequencies, is needed.Academic Radiology 10/2005; 12(9):1135-42.

ABSTRACT: In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there is always a drive toward reducing the acquisition time. In volume imaging, time is often spent in acquiring data where there exists no signal because the imaging volume is larger than the object. In this paper, a method is presented for scan time reduction using an adaptive field of view (FOV). Multislice images are acquired with the FOV in the phase encoding direction of each slice determined by measurements made on the initial localization survey scan. Depending on the region of interest, an optimized FOV is also determined so that scan time is reduced in comparison to a normal scan while improving image resolution. The method is simple to implement and requires no additional hardware. Typical reductions in scan time are on the order 9-14%.Magnetic Resonance Imaging 02/2005; 23(1):47-52.

ABSTRACT: There is considerable interest in performing free-breathing acquisitions of the heart in order to obtain high-quality images without the need for multiple, long breathholds. In this article a 3D motion-correction method is described that is based on image registration of in-plane data and through-plane slice tracking. A number of fast radial undersampled images are acquired, each of which is free of motion artifacts. Initially, in-plane translational and rotational motion between each image was corrected before combining the data to give a fully sampled image. At the next stage, correction of in-plane deformation, in addition to translations and rotations, was performed in the image domain. Through-plane translational motion was compensated using a navigator echo to move the acquisition plane. Using this method, information on the motion of the heart was captured at the same time as acquiring the image data. No motion model, assumptions about the motion, or training data are required. The method is demonstrated on phantom data and cardiac images acquired on free-breathing volunteers.Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 11/2004; 52(5):1127-35. DOI:10.1002/mrm.20252 · 3.40 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This paper describes a quantitative assessment of respiratory motion of the heart and the construction of a model of respiratory motion. Three-dimensional magnetic resonance scans were acquired on eight normal volunteers and ten patients. The volunteers were imaged at multiple positions in the breathing cycle between full exhalation and full inhalation while holding their breath. The exhalation volume was segmented and used as a template to which the other volumes were registered using an intensity-based rigid registration algorithm followed by nonrigid registration. The patients were imaged at inhale and exhale only. The registration results were validated by visual assessment and consistency measurements indicating subvoxel registration accuracy. For all subjects, we assessed the nonrigid motion of the heart at the right coronary artery, right atrium, and left ventricle. We show that the rigid-body motion of the heart is primarily in the craniocaudal direction with smaller displacements in the right-left and anterior-posterior directions; this is in agreement with previous studies. Deformation was greatest for the free wall of the right atrium and the left ventricle; typical deformations were 3-4 mm with deformations of up to 7 mm observed in some subjects. Using the registration results, landmarks on the template surface were mapped to their correct positions through the breathing cycle. Principal component analysis produced a statistical model of the motion and deformation of the heart. We discuss how this model could be used to assist motion correction.IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging 10/2002; 21(9):1142-50. DOI:10.1109/TMI.2002.804427 · 3.80 Impact Factor

Chapter: A Dynamic Brain Atlas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe a dynamic atlas that can be customized to an individual study subject in near-real-time. The atlas comprises 180 brain volumes each of which has been automatically segmented into grey matter, white matter and CSF, and also non-rigidly registered to the Montreal BrainWeb reference dataset providing automatic delineation of brain structures of interest. To create a dynamic atlas, the user loads a study dataset (eg: a patient) and queries the atlas database to identify similar subjects. All selected database subjects are then aligned with the study subject using affine registration, and average tissue probability maps and structure delineations produced. The system can run on distributed data and distributed CPUs illustrating the potential of computational grids in medical image analysis.12/2001: pages 532-539;

ABSTRACT: A specially designed phantom consisting of a 3D array of 427 accurately manufactured spheres together with a point-based registration algorithm was used to detect distortion described by polynomial orders 1-4. More than thirty 3D gradient echo GRE and multi-slice spin echo SE phantom scans were acquired with a Philips 1.5T Gyroscan ACS2. Distortion was measured as a function of: readout gradient strength 0:72 = G r = 1 :7mTTm, TRRTEEEip angle, shim settings, and temporal distortion change for 11 weekly scans for the FFE sequence and TRRTEEslice gap for SE. Precision measurements for linear distortion were: scale = 0 :03, shear = 0 :04 degrees. Linear distortion in the readout dependent directions increased with decreased readout strength r r 0:93. There was a signiicantly higher p p 0:01 sagittal shear for 5 SE scans compared with 5 FFE ones with the same G r -possibly because of slice selection. Diierent shim settings produced only linear distortion change: up to 2 scale and 1 degree shear. There was negligible distortion change over time: scale 0:1, shear = 0 :05 degrees. There was a decrease in distortion as a function of polynomial order r r 0:9; n = 33, 75 of the distortion was either rst or second order.Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 07/2001; DOI:10.1117/12.431151 · 0.20 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Introduction In traditional MR acquisitions, k-space is sampled in a pre-determined fashion eg: raster, radial or spiral, with each measurement placed in a pre-allocated part of k-space. By analogy with the radar technique inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR)[1], it is possible to reconstruct an image of an object moving in an unknown way, by estimating the position of the object for each measurement. Rotation of the object rotates the k-space position of the associated measurement, so by determining the motion of the object, each measurement can be correctly placed in k-space, and the resulting non-uniformly sampled k-space can be reconstructed. The novelty of this approach is that unknown object motion is seen as an aid rather than a hindrance to image acquisition. A potential advantage is that a small, cheap MR scanner could be built without phase-encoding gradients. By analogy with inverse SAR, we call this technique inverse MRI. In this proof-of-concept paper, we demonstrate that non-uniform rotational motion of an object can be used to reconstruct images, using conventional slice select and readout gradients, but no phase-encoding. Methods Images were acquired using a conventional 1.5T MR scanner (Philips Gyroscan ACS2), using a 256 line dual echo spin-echo acquisition TR=800ms,TE 1 =11ms, TE 2 =200ms) with the phase encode gradient turned off. The object was attached to a specially designed rig that fixed the center of rotation, and was rotated by a minimum of 180° free-hand (ie: with variable angular velocity). A 5mm diameter marker containing 0.5mM GdDTPA was attached to the rig. Due to choice of echo times, only the marker had high intensity in the second echo. Using software written in Matlab, each echo underwent a 1D Fourier transform to generate a space-time hybrid space. The marker was automatically tracked in the second echo hybrid space also known as a sinogram (Figure 1), as the path of the marker is an approximation to a sinusoid. To calculate the center of rotation of the object the half way point between the maximum and minimum displacement of the marker path is found. The angle of acquistion at each point is found from the inverse cosine of the ratio of the displacement at that point to the maximum displacement from the centre.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The bright sun and clear skies were routine, but the cold was not, as Californians bundled up with sweaters and gloves and stocked up on firewood Friday to brace for several nights of freezing temperatures.
Zookeepers turned up the heat for chimpanzees in San Diego, and tourists covered their hands on Hollywood walking tours. Still, the cold snap wasn't enough to throw many off their strides.
"We love our 75-degree weather," said Tami Walker, 50, of Ventura. "Any time it gets cooler than that, everyone says, 'Oh, it's getting cooler.' If it starts to drizzle, people call each other and say, 'Run to the window.'"
Walker, part-owner of Urban Adventure Quest, which does self-guided walking tours in California's tourist meccas, said customers wore gloves and told her they expected a warmer vacation.
The National Weather Service is forecasting morning frost on San Diego beaches for several days. Big Sur, on the central coast, prepared for daytime highs almost 20 degrees below Boston's. Even the snowbird haven of Palm Springs faced the possibility of freezing temperatures at night.
In Sonoma County, homeless shelters started handing out extra warm clothes to protect people from freezing overnight temperatures.
Some customers drove more than an hour to buy firewood.
"It's crazy busy here, at least 50 percent more," said Renea Teasdale, office manager at The Woodshed in Orange, south of Los Angeles.
Still, it was business as usual as much of the state contended with temperatures in the high 40s and low 50s.
"It's still sunny Southern California, and I'm going to work on my legs all year long," said Linda Zweig, a spokeswoman for the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which is hosting a 5-kilometer run north of San Diego on Sunday. The lifelong San Diego-area resident is prone to wearing two sweatshirts when the temperature drops but refuses to give up on shorts.

This is a sample markdown edited tool. It uses the live-console approach. It's like an immediate WYSIWYG editor – quite interactive. And this editor has two features that are really keen :
1. Direct upload of document to wordpress
2. Dropbox backing store for persistent document retention.
3. Go to read more of the doc.s meself !
If you want to try it out and have a Dropbox account, please see this link: https://stackedit.io/editor# as it will give you a live taste of what this tool can do. Enjoy :-)

This is a short sample Groovy class with some tests to try out the H2 in-memory database feature.
Just wanted to give you a starting point to try the H2 in-memory database. I've used the Groovy development language here to setup a set of methods. The whole class named H2 is constructed in the style of a java class with all it's syntax. Ok, it's not exactly a java program. For that you would need to add more syntax.
For this demo, i've tried to use the most common features of the H2 grammar.
This project is arranged in a folder structure that's compatible with many build systems. In this demo, i've used the gradle build tool. Have also included a full gradle wrapper with required bits and pieces the code needs to work correctly. These are declared within the build.gradle script.
Folder Layout
The H2 Grammar is described here : http://www.h2database.com/html/grammar.html
The Groovy Koans project is a collection of small exercises in the form of unit tests, designed to get Java developers up to speed on Groovy features and common idioms. It starts by teaching you basic Groovy building blocks, and gradually builds your knowledge towards metaprogramming, slurpers, and all the goodness Groovy has to offer !
$ git clone https://github.com/nadavc/groovykoans.git)
$ ./gradlew removeSolutions
$ ./gradlew koan01 and fail (or any other Koan using
$ ./gradlew koan##)
File -> Open Project and open the
build.gradle file
gradlew script downloads Groovy and Gradle for you, so you don't have to set up anything by yourself.
To allow gradlew to work through your proxy, simply add the following parameters:
$ ./gradlew koan01 -Dhttp.proxyHost=[http proxy] -Dhttp.proxyPort=[http proxy port]
One of the perks of learning through Koans is that once your Koan is solved, you can compare your solution with
the 'official' solution and perhaps learn from that comparison as well. It is also a way to make sure that the Koans
are indeed solvable by filling in the blanks.
For optimal learning experience, however, you should first try to solve the Koans without those solutions as reference.
To remove the solutions, run
$ ./gradlew removeSolutions from the root of your unzipped Koans.
These are the Koans that are currently planned:
* Embedding Groovy
* Creating your own DSL
* Creating your own builder
* Transformations
* GPars
Follow me on Twitter or GitHub for updates.
The Koan concept started way back in Zen practice. It was then adapted by the good folks of
rubykoans.com and perfected by Neo4j. The Groovy Koans project is licensed under the

This reminds me of winter – burrrr….
Am often asked what i listen to when coding and hacking. For me, a background Sanskrit mantra – chant – adds a tone of calm to an otherwise hectic day. Translation below. Hope you may find it as healing a chant as i do. :)
This is the Maha Ganapathi Moola Manthram
What does it indicates?
Om – represents the creation, maintenance and destruction activities
that take place in the universe and the power behind and beyond all.
Shreem – indicates the chakras in the human body begining with the
Mooladhara to swadishtana the energy centres which is activated by
this mantra it is also connected with Godess Maha-lakshmi
Hreem – represents the Mahamaya principle — Purusha and Prakriti
in the Sivate Siddandha Sivam and Sakthi.
Gloum – After referring to the universal principle and the human body
which was a direct connection with the principle and the powers behind
and beyond these, we come to the God Maha ganapathy who removes all
obstacles and helps in solving our ever many problems in our day-to-day
life and in field of activites.
Gom – Again we come to the human body and the Kudalini — the chakras have all been referred to – here Gom represents the throat which is the place through which activation of the energy going above the brain centres to activate thought and Dhyana or contermplation. These solve our innumerable problems in life, in other words: a wise man resorts to his own inherent energy and conscience, when he is comforted with challenges in life.
Ganapathye – The Lord of obstacles i.e. Ganapathi
Vara Varadaa – The Lord of whom people offer their prayers to fulfil their wishes
Sarava Janam Me - Let all these blessings of the Lord be mine – let me
be rid of my problems – for people like me and help me in my efforts
The important point to note is that people constitute the real strength behind all actions and activities and all our endeavors are only successful if people are behind such endeavors and actively participate in them.
In other words, people's participation is the 'Secret of Success' in human endeavors both individual and collective. – translation courtesy of Dr.KollurIyer.
The bell-like tones of this mantra bring forth a shower of blessings from Ganesha.
In uttering them, the worshipper surrenders his ego to the Lord, seeking His protection and grace at all times. Notice the first line which contains several seed (in Sanskrit, "beej") mantras, single syllabic utterances from Vedic texts whose meanings vary depending on their intonation and the purpose of incantation.
'Om' for instance, is an affirmative sound, one which fuels our energies and is associated with divine protection and benevolence. 'Shrim' invokes love and beauty; it concerns the heart and hence, both physical and emotional health.
'Hrim' is associated with Maya, a syllable that empowers us to see through the illusory nature of the world while 'Klim' is forceful, stimulating and energizing; symbolically, it is represented by a thunderbolt that destroys lowly ignorance.
'Glaum' is the earth element while 'Gam' is the primal Seed, meaning Ganesha himself.
In chanting this mantra, the devotee seeks the grace of Ganesha in his present life and all future lifetimes.
Ok, i'm sure you read sanskrit quite well, but here is yet another sanskrit translation just in case you're a little rusty – courtesy of Sonja Anicca Mathur:

lighting for kitchen island
Was wondering what people think of chandeliers above an island... the architect's plans show 3 pendant lights but I'd really like to put a small chandelier over the area where we will have seating for 6. I will have plenty of recessed lighting around the room as well as under caounter lighting - this is more for the look than function. The island is quite long and two levels - about 12 feet. My question is what to do with the other two spots set up for lighting. Seems odd to put plain pendants next to a shiny chandelier but I definitely need something above my sink which closer to the other end of the island.
Also, has anyone ordered crystorama chandeliers? I love one that I saw online but can't seem to find the ones I like in stores to actually look at them. Hard to tell how much they will really sparkle unless you see them in person.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.
I have a long island and plan on using the Crystorama La Vella pendants. I almost ordered a Crystorama chandelier, but I liked one from Elk better. What chandelier are you thinking about. There is a light store 10 minutes from my house that has some Crystorama chandeliers so I have seen them in person. I really think the ones I have seen are pretty. I ordered my Crystorama Lights from Lighting by Gregory. I live in Minnesota, but I believe this is one of NY City's oldest lighting stores. Ask for an additional 10% off. They gave it to me and their customer service is really good. One of my pendants arrived and the glass was broken and they didn't give a hassle at all. I recieved the new glass globe within a week. I will post a link to my stuff that shows the Crystorama lights I am using.

Now that I've been doing more shopping I'm quite sure that I am in love with a small Schonbek mini chandelier and want to put two above the island instead of one and two pendants. Has anyone done this? Does it look weird? I think I'd love it but hubby disagrees somewhat. Advice for the experts, please. Going to try to attach a picture but not sure if I can figure out how ... here goes (BTW, picture is in gold but I love the silver).
Here is a link that might be useful: Schonbek 1829 Century 1 light mini chandelier
I think this is a picture of what the kitchen should look like eventually. What do you guys think about two chandeliers over the island (in particular the one I referenced in my earlier post about Schonbek but in silver tones)?

3-D Felt Christmas Tree Card
Craft a handmade holiday card with texture, dimension and cheery pops of color using layers of felt.
By: Debbie Olson
Materials Needed:
- white card stock
- aqua card stock for accent mat (or a color to coordinate with patterned paper)
- patterned paper
- foam tape
- felt in colors to coordinate with patterned paper (100% wool felt works best for die-cutting)
- tree die for focal image (optional — can be cut by hand)
- sentiment stamp
- cotton string for small bow
- aqua, pink and red ink (or colors to coordinate with patterned paper)
- sanding block (optional)
- paper trimmer
- glue or double-sided tape
- tape
- 1/8" hole punch
Cut Card Base and Front Layers
Cut card base to 4-1/4" x 11" and fold in half. Cut aqua cardstock to 4-1/8" x 5-3/8", and patterned paper to 4" x 5-1/4". Sand edges of patterned paper and attach to aqua cardstock mat layer.
Cut smaller patterned paper to 2-5/8" x 4" and aqua mat layer to 2-3/4" x 4-1/8". Sand edges of patterned layer and attach to mat layer.
Cut white sentiment layer to 1" x 4" and aqua mat layer to 1-1/8" x 4". Sand edges of patterned layer and attach to mat layer. Note: This layer will be flush on both short ends.
Stamp Sentiment
To create a multicolored sentiment, start with a clean stamp and mask off parts of the sentiment that do not need to be inked in the first color with regular tape (Image 1). Ink, then remove tape mask before stamping first color. Clean stamp, then repeat the masking step before inking with second and third colors (Image 2). Tip: To get a two-toned sentiment, ink sentiment first in the lighter of the two colors, then ink only one edge in the darker color. Note: Using lighter ink before darker ink will keep lighter inkpad from being contaminated by darker ink. Remove tape mask and align second layer of ink with first layer.
Multicolored Stamped Card Sentiment
In step 2,create a multicolored sentiment. Start with a clean stamp and mask off parts of the sentiment that do not need to be inked in the first color with regular tape. Ink, then remove tape mask before stamping first color. Clean stamp, then repeat the masking step before inking with second and third colors. Tip: To get a two-toned sentiment, ink sentiment first in the lighter of the two colors, then ink only one edge in the darker color.
Attach Front Elements to Card Base
After gluing each card-front element to its corresponding mat, attach each element to the card base with glue or double-sided tape.
Create Felt Tree
Using tree and star dies, cut an aqua felt tree and white star (Image 1). Alternately, if you don't have dies, cut tree and star using scissors or a craft knife. Cut extra tree parts from green and brown felt, as well as from white card stock. Cut felt layers apart and glue to card stock base (Image 2). Using a sharp 1/8" hole punch, punch felt ornaments to coordinate with patterned paper (Image 3). Tip: 100% wool felt die-cuts and punches more cleanly than craft felt does. Glue ornaments to felt tree (Image 4).
Attach Felt Tree to Card Front
Using foam tape, attach felt tree to prepared card front and base and add a small string bow to sentiment, if desired.

The Jungle Books
The Jungle Books, regarded as classic stories told by an adult to children and best known for the "Mowgli" series, also constitutes a complex literary work of art in which the whole of Kipling's philosophy of life is expressed in miniature. The stories, a mixture of fantasy, myth and magic, are underpinned by Kipling's abiding preoccupation with the theme of self-discovery and the nature of the "Law."

"One of the concepts we came up with is to take from the natural beauty we have on property and incorporate that into our build," says host of Yardcore Joel Moss. Over the bar a custom-made chandelier mimics the live oak trees found on property and two hammocks hang off the corner to provide extra lounge space. The dock is complete with a boat lift and a 2014 MasterCraft NXT 20 wakeboard boat.

I am using the the O2 PAYG Sim in my Android Note that was in my aging Nokia phone. I don't like the Note so I was thinking about a Samsung Galaxy SIII or an LG Optimus 4X.

You need to check the size of the sim card. If it is a normal size then it wont fit in the S3 as this takes a mini sim, dont know about the LG. Also the phone you are getting needs to be on O2 or unlocked.

It was most definitely nighttime by the time we were finally dropped off at the edge of the pedestrian town centre, and set out to find a bed for the night. Tired from the journey, the passport fiasco, and the hike with our backpacks, we had little energy left for the growing packs of Afghani and Kashmiri hotel touts who fought over our attention and the commissions they sought on our account. ...
A long road into the mountains
... enjoyed the scenery as we wound our way into the mountains. I was particularly delighted when I began to see monkeys standing on the side of the road and perched in trees, silently watching our colorful game of chicken down below. About 5 hours later, we FINALLY pulled up in front of the Hotel Sagar View, where we were net by the rest of the group, and treated to a very tasty dinner. Now off to bed. I truly can't wait for my first full nights sleep in 3 ...

I loved my stay here. I had such a huge room to myself. The staff were great and the location was perfect. So close to everything and right on the waterfront.
Room was very clean and large, for such a large hotel it was very quiet. They also have a pool, it's not huge but it is very nice and it's right at the front so.. great views from the pool!
Loved my time in the bay of islands and would recommend Kingsgate

Sightseeing in Vernal Utah!
... brochure about the monument, and saw Echo Park, one of the other amazing views of the monument! We only spent around half of the day here so we wouldn't be too tired to drive. After eating some hot dogs for lunch, we will continue to drive to Steamboat Springs, Colorado!
Here is the brochure about the Dinosaur National Monument:

Dinosaur National Monument
... no shade and dry wind all the time. But the scenery is really cool! Tonight, we learned about the history of the Park Service from a ranger and her husband who have been to 323 of the 401 NPS units. Considering we have been to 89 including this one, we have a long way to go! Tomorrow, we are headed to another, far more remote section of the park for some ...
Vernal, Utah
... the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area on the southern border of Wyoming. We drove on Route 191 south and saw a lot of antelope herds on the way. We went through every kind of terrain you could name. Some of it was beautiful and some of it was boring.
The Flaming Gorge was spectacular. The Green River runs through the area and there is a dam that forms a lake that is very blue. John ...
Stunningly Beautiful!
... Today's trip down river is mostly a float, with nothing greater than riffles which are waves without much in the way of rocks to maneuver around. The trouble with this section of the river is that most of the day is rowing rather than being carried along by faster moving current. This means that if the upstream winds come up, which they always do, rowing against the wind makes the rowing doubly difficult. It is the type of day that the 'hard ...
Vernal - the Dinosaur Town
... our way out of town.
We had lunch in a local bar which wasn't bad before continuing our stroll through town. Sean and I walked in the opposite direction to find the post office and get a flat pack box to send through to Mainfreight - it's a good way to get rid of the goodies we buy alone the way and also keep out load on the bikes lights as possible. For $14.00 it was sent through to be packed with the bikes when we return them back to NZ.
Dinner was had ...
