If you are under 65, you can get premium-free Medicare Part A benefits and Medicare Part B (monthly premium), if you have been a disabled beneficiary under Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board for more than twenty-four (24) months. You also qualify if you are disabled, over age 50, and a widow or widower. If you are receiving benefits for a disability that you have had since before you turned 22, you qualify as well.
Once you have Medicare Part B, in most states you will have an open enrollment period of six months from the time your Part B coverage goes into effect, where you are guaranteed acceptance in a Medicare Supplement plan regardless of your current or previous health status.
A majority of states make at least one Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy available for those under age 65.
Click Here to See State-Specific Enrollment Information for Under Age 65 Applications
Rates are sometimes much higher than for those after 65, and can vary greatly from state to state. If there is not an affordable Medicare Supplement plan available, you can also look into a Medicare Advantage plan. These plans do accept all Medicare beneficiaries unless they have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
Once you turn 65 you will again have an open enrollment period for a Medicare Supplement plan. This may enable you to switch to a plan that is priced better or works better for your needs.

"I did some research on supplemental policies on my own and felt that I had the facts I needed to make a purchase decision directly with one of the companies I had identified. To be certain I was considering all the factors involved, I decided to contact your organization through your website through an Internet search and was quickly contacted by Leslie Jablonski. During our consultation, two additional points came out that I did not know from my own investigation. As a result, I decided to coordinate my policy purchase with her. Leslie was professional and helpful and I would recommend her and your organization to others seeking advice on Medicare supplemental plans. Shopping with Medigap Advisors was an uncomplicated and very satisfactory experience."

The mayor of Liskeard in Cornwall said it was greedy and insensitive to attempt to force up property prices at a time when small retailers are already struggling to pay high rents.
Liskeard was one of 12 English towns named last month as the recipients of £100,000 to regenerate their tired high streets under a project fronted by Ms Portas, the television presenter and Government "High Street Tsar".
Since the announcement, the sellers of two empty shops in the Cornish town that have been on the market for some time have increased the asking price for their properties, in one case from £275,000 to £300,000.
Liskeard's mayor, Tony Powell, said: "They are trying to take advantage of this. They will get knocked back straightaway. But it does seem to me an act of gratuitous greed and insensitivity. It's horrible.
"Success breeds success and there are always people who will try to jump on the back of it and make something out of it."
Mr Powell predicted that the sellers, who have not been identified, will fail to get their new asking prices.
"People are far more canny these days about what they spend their money on. All they're going to do is lose friends. They aren't going to influence the market," he said.
Rob Redgrave, from Cornwall-based chartered surveyors Miller Commercial, which is handling the sale of one of the shops, said he did not think the landlord would achieve the higher price.
"The problem is people tend to follow suit and if one or two put the price up, everyone will think it's a good idea," he told the BBC.
Other towns and cities named as Mary Portas pilots, including Wolverhampton, Nelson in Lancashire and Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, said they had not experienced the same problem as Liskeard.
More than 370 towns bid for a place in the pilot scheme, which will also form part of a television series fronted by Ms Portas.
The initiative follows a Government-commissioned review into town centres by Ms Portas, which recommended initiatives including affordable town-centre parking, disincentives for landlords who leave shops empty, and "town teams" composed of consumers, landlords, shops and councillors who would be in put in charge of improving the main shopping areas.
Liskeard plans to use its £100,000 grant to lure shoppers back to the high street from the out-of-town supermarket with fun and colourful projects including decorating public toilets with hanging baskets and turning empty shops into art venues.

A Western Adventure
By Paulette Tobin, Grand Forks Herald, N.D.
Aug. 1–By Paulette Tobin
Herald Staff Writer
The Medora Musical" packs a lot of razzle dazzle into its nightly high-energy show, with fireworks, more than two dozen singers and dancers and even live horses and a re-enactment of Teddy Roosevelt's historic charge up San Juan hill.
Still, when Job Christenson lifts his voice to sing the inspirational Josh Groban song "You Raise Me Up," a hush falls over the audience sitting under the star-filled North Dakota Badlands sky.
"Even the babies stop crying," Amphitheatre Manager Kinley Slauter said.
Christenson, Grand Forks, a featured performer in "The Medora Musical," this week marked his 60th performance of the summer at the Burning Hills Amphitheatre in Medora.
100 shows
As of Wednesday morning, it was 60 shows down and 40 to go. By Sept. 6, Christenson will have performed on Medora's outdoor stage 100 times, every night without a break since Memorial Day weekend. How does he do it?
"Lots of sleep," Christenson said in a telephone interview. "I sleep and work out, and I'm pretty low-key during the day, so we can give our entire selves to the show." Workouts? When he sings and dances on stage every night? Yes. They're important for the body and soul, he said.
Christenson, artistic director of the North Dakota Ballet Company and Apprentice School and one of the producers of Crimson Creek Players of Grand Forks, is well known as a performer in Grand Forks. After graduating from Central High School, he trained in musical theater at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and then danced and performed all over the world and in Broadway and national tours with "Cats,""Ragtime" and many other shows.
Since returning to Grand Forks, he's directed and choreographed shows for Central and Red River high schools and Crimson Creek Players in Grand Forks, Frost Fire Theatre at Walhalla, N.D., Sleepy Hollow Summer Theatre at Bismarck and more. He's worked with the theater department at UND, performed extensively and recorded two musical CDs.
In January 2007, the North Valley Arts Council named him Artist of the Year for his role in the local arts community.
Now, he's playing a city slicker headed West to find his fortune who accidentally gets off the train at Medora and finds his cell phone and Bluetooth don't work out there.
It's an experience that's been different and unexpected in several ways, he said. And not just because he occasionally swallows a bug while singing on Medora's brightly lit outdoor stage.
"This is a huge operation with lots of people working on it," Christenson said. "Even talking about Broadway, this is a little bigger than that. There are buildings that move on a track. There are 30 people backstage and horses. It's huge, what happens in this one two-hour show. We have some wonderfully talented people. I work with schools and communities and that's fun, too, but it's nice to be part of something that's so professional and so high quality."
The show brought at least one new challenge to this longtime dancer: learning to clog.
"I'm a tapper from years back, and I love tapping but I've never clogged," Christenson said. "This year, I learned how to clog. That was really fun."
Curt Wollan of Troupe America, a theatrical production company in Minneapolis that's been associated with "The Medora Musical" since 1992, said Christenson has brought a lot of talent to the show.
"He's a good dancer and singer, and he's a good person, a real unifier for the rest of the cast," said Wollan, the show's producer and director. "He's real supportive of everybody in the show and a joy to work with."
Another Grand Forks resident in the show's cast, Ellery Tofte, recently left "The Medora Musical" because of painful shin splints and other leg issues, Wollan said. She's been replaced by Allison Mickelson (formerly Allison Brooks) of Pierre, S.D., who lived in Grand Forks for a time and performed in many shows here, including Crimson's Creek's "Chicago" in 2006.
"The Medora Musical" has a different cast each year, and its story varies some, but there are always common themes, including God, country and the value of the individual.
"It's a Western extravaganza," Christenson said. "It has the music and the dancing and singing and a bit of a plot, but not much of one. But it's trying to instill pride in North Dakota and in our country, where even a cowboy can be president."
The message that every person can make a difference is important for adults and young people, especially in an election year, he said.

Someone Stapled a Dress On Rihanna's Diamonds Tour Poster
Someone with a sense of decency and modesty stapled a dress onto a promo poster advertising Rihanna's upcoming Diamonds Tour concert date in Dublin, Ireland recently.
After Beyonce performed semi-nude during her Mrs. Carter World tour last month, a citizen took action to cover up the suggestive nudity displayed on Rihanna's promo posters.
Not everyone was in agreement with the censorship.
"Somebody has stapled a dress on to this Rihanna poster on Church St. Well done, you complete nutcase," tweeted director Paul Duane, who posted a photo of Rihanna's poster clad in a fancy dress.
Rihanna's high pitched yodeling has been compared with the cries made by baby goats.

Them Irish takes their religion serious as HAIL. They been at war over it for literally HUNDREDS of years.
Stapling a dress on a nakked Rih does NOT surprise me in IRELAND. England or say The Netherlands or Switzerland maybe…Ireland? NOPE

Demeyere John Pawson 7-Ply Stainless Steel 6-Piece Cookware Set
About the Designer
John Pawson England (1949 - )
John Pawson has been designing buildings and objects for more than twenty-five years, with work realised on four continents for a wide range of clients and covering a breadth of scales and programmes. From the beginning his approach to making architecture has drawn comparisons with the art movement known as Minimalism. More helpful, perhaps, is its characterisation as an attitude to space, light and proportion. On his acclaimed collaboration with Demeyere, Pawson says, "A museum director once said of my work, 'Everything starts with the kitchen'. What he meant was that houses are the heart of the work and kitchens are the heart of the houses. My collaboration with Demeyere started with the idea of providing these most important of contemporary living spaces with a set of core equipment which would combine functional sophistication with the highest design values. A pan might seem like a very straightforward object to design, but the reality is that smallness of scale does not equate with lack of complexity. The union of form and function must be seamless. There would have been no point in identifying the perfect simple profile, for example, if the lip did not pour well. Visual comfort would likewise lose its value if the pan did not feel good in the hand. I knew I could leave the more specialised technical issues to the team at Demeyere. My efforts have focused on the shape of the body and on the detail and angle of the junction between body and handle. My goal has been something which looked different, but right, equally at home over a flame or on a table û modern but not modish and thus liable to lose its freshness quickly." Although his work has been described as having an abstract quality, it is rigorously grounded in a precise understanding of the grain of everyday life. Whether a house, store, gallery, bridge, monastery or cookpot, for Pawson the fundamental challenge is always the same: how people, space and objects may be brought into harmony with one another.

Yodelling Bounces from Snowy Peaks to Malls
ZUG, Switzerland — The sound of 'yo yo yo lue lu' conjures images of remote valleys and snowy peaks, but every Friday the distinctive notes drift through a classroom window and across the Swiss city of Zug's industrial district.
Yodelling, long seen by outsiders as a caricature of out-dated Alpine kitsch, is undergoing a renaissance among an urban generation seeking to reconnect with their roots.
"It's traditionally Swiss," says 36-year-old architect Eva Guhl, echoing other members of the evening school beginners group as they explain what has drawn them to the classroom on Metal Street every Friday evening for the last three months.
"It's a wonderful feeling when you let it all out," she said. "In pop songs you can hold yourself back, but not with yodelling."
The 1965 film "The Sound of Music," starring Julie Andrews, used yodelling, goat-herds and lederhosen in what became one of the world's most successful musicals.
Unlike lyrical singing, yodelling is a non-verbal technique which plays on sharp transitions from low "chest" notes to high or "head" notes — stringing together single syllables with an energetic and unique twang.
The technique may have its origin centuries ago as a far-carrying communication cry between Alpine shepherds in remote mountain communities, but it endures today.
Despite the revival in urban Zug, Swiss and Austrian yodelling is also heard in folklore festivals, tourist restaurants or sound recordings.
Austria's Eurovision Song Contest entry this year was a distinctive fusion of yodelling and salsa.
Last month, a record 180,000 visitors thronged a yodelling festival in Aarau — a Swiss urban outpost more known for its shopping centers and tower blocks.
Professional yodeller Rita Ehrler, 48, attributes the recent rise in yodelling's popularity to a longing for homeliness and reassurance in the face of social problems and rapid change.
"Yodelling simply gives you a feeling of warmth and security. It's a Swiss thing," she says, flanked by her 20-year-old daughter Nicole, the fourth generation of yodellers in the family.
Rita Ehrler learned to yodel from her grandfather in the central Swiss village of Ibach Schwyz, home to the Swiss army knife and picture-postcard views of green meadows sweeping up to craggy snow-capped peaks.
It is a far cry from the classroom where she runs the evening course for the Migros Klubschule, the educational arm of a supermarket-lifestyle conglomerate which also offers Zug-dwellers courses in hip hop or latino dance aerobics.
Although one fifth of tiny Switzerland's population are foreigners and the export-led economy depends on links with abroad, foreign influences have done little to erode stout national pride among the country's Germanic majority.
Yodelling itself often forms the refrain to traditional songs about nature, communities or God which are sung in Swiss German — a bastion of Swiss identity but a linguistic quagmire to non-native speakers.
The evening school enthusiasts clasp their hands over trendy belts and jeans as they blast out a Swiss-German song about a little boy too eager to leave his mountain valley, before breaking into a chorus of undulating yodels.
"It's not the sort of music I listen to at home," acknowledges 23-year-old nursery school teacher Manuela Brunner. "But I like it."

The Grand Wazoo and Other Delights Present A Tribute to Frank Zappa Tonight
December 29
12:30 2012
Today, Dec. 29th, at the Park West, 322 W. Armitage, Chicago, just days after Frank Zappa's 72nd birthday, the Chicago Jazz Orchestra (CJO) presents an adventurous tribute to this great American musical genius. The show, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will feature the 15-piece CJO along with saxophonist Ernie Watts, who was in Zappa's band for the original recording of The Grand Wazoo. Electric violinist Mark Wood (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and electric bassist Dave Morgan, who created the arrangements for this show, are also featured. Conducting the performance will be CJO artistic director Jeff Lindberg.
This concert was recently moved from its originally scheduled location at the Harris Theater to the new venue at Park West. Tickets are on sale now priced at $35.00 and are for seated, general admission, and can be purchased from the concert venue website www.parkwestchicago.com, the Chicago Jazz Orchestra website www.chicagojazzorchestra.com or at the Park West venue at 322 W. Armitage.
Jeff Lindberg's Chicago Jazz Orchestra (CJO) is a 501C(3) not for profit organization founded in 1978 as the Jazz Members Big Band by Jeff Lindberg and the late Steve Jensen. Composed of Chicago's top musicians, the CJO is Chicago's oldest professional jazz orchestra in continuous operation and one of the oldest jazz orchestras in the country. Conductor and Artistic Director Jeff Lindberg is one of the foremost transcribers in jazz. As a result, the Orchestra's repertoire draws upon his vast library, which includes the works of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Benny Carter, Oliver Nelson, Ray Charles and many others.
The CJO recently announced its upcoming 2012-2013 concert season, including performances with such solo artists as Michael Feinstein, Ernie Watts, Mark Wood, Randy Brecker and Kurt Elling. For more information about the CJO's season, please visit the website www.chicagojazzorchestra.com.
The CJO receives support from the Stare Fund, the Illinois Arts Council, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Joseph B. Glossberg Foundation, The Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, and the Oppenheimer Family Foundation. WDCB 90.9FM and Downbeat magazine are the Chicago Jazz Orchestra's media sponsors. Additional in-kind support is also received from the Jazz Institute of Chicago.

In the following extract from "The Tyger", William Blake asks if the conventional analogy of Christ as the Lamb of God can explain the more terrific and violent aspects of creation:
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

This snap of Made in Chelsea's Caggie and Millie makes us wel jel, what a pair of natural beauties!
Caggie and Millie when they were 18. Copyright: [twitter/caggiedunlop]
We like to think that celebs only look great all the time because they probably have 18 personal stylists, a hairdresser, make-up artist and a nail technician on hand 24 hour a day.
But it would seem the pair were just as lovely prior to the 18 personal stylists. Honestly, how is it fair?
Proof that they are not just all hair straighteners and eye liner, Caggie tweeted this pic of the pair super fresh faced taken when the pair were just 18.
What a couple of hotties!
Related Stories: [Spencer Matthews 'is an arrogant toff']

Years before the Made in Chelsea mayhem began and Millie was voted the 15th sexiest woman in the whole world.
So yep, when they were mere mortals like us.
Caggie tweeted the pic along with the message: 'memory lane! me and mac at 18.'
Just as fit now. Copyright: [wenn]
The pair are now both the grand old age of 22. Until tomorrow that is, when Millie will be celebrating her 23rd birthday.
We do hope that her boyf Professor Green has bought her something nice.
We wish our boyfriend was a rapper, we would totes get him to rap Happy Birthday.

DNA is a molecule that contains an organism's genetic information, which is passed on from one generation to the next. When a cell reproduces, it copies its DNA almost exactly.
In human reproduction, half of the DNA comes from the father and half from the mother. This is why you share many characteristics with your parents.
DNA has the famous double helix structure, shown in the picture above. Each molecule is made up of 4 chemicals called bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine, which are sometimes abbreviated to A, C, G and T.
DNA is found in all known living organisms, from complex animals like chimpanzees and humans, to single-celled organisms like plankton in the oceans.
The same 4 bases occur in the DNA molecules of all these types of organisms. Also, the A, T, G and C bases always occur in a similar sequence from one end of the DNA molecule to the other. This is evidence that humans are related to every other species on Earth.
The genes of organisms that look very different are surprisingly similar. For example, human DNA sequences are over 95% identical to chimpanzee sequences and around 50% identical to banana sequences.
You have to go back in time a long way to find a common ancestor between humans and bananas, but ultimately they have both emerged from the same family tree, the tree of life, and that is why they share common characteristics.

Epcot is rolling out 2nd Segway tour
Full Story: Epcot is rolling out 2nd Segway tourEpcot is rolling out 2nd Segway tour
by Christopher Boyd
More Disney visitors soon will be scooting around Epcot on Segway transporters in the morning before the park gate opens to the general public.
For a couple of years, Walt Disney World has given Epcot visitors two options to ride Segways -- the two-wheeled, electric scooters that people stand on as they ride.
The big ride is a two-hour spin, including an hour of training indoors and an hourlong guided tour of Epcot's World Showcase. That attraction, which costs $80 a person, proved popular enough that Disney is adding a second tour, starting Friday.

Arbor Networks and IANS' Dave Shackleford to Present on the New Denial of Service Attacks: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Business
Webinar topic: "The New ℠Denial of Service´ Attack: Why you may no longer be protected."
Burlington, MA (PRWEB) June 05, 2013
Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, is hosting a webinar this week with BrightTalk on the topic of "The New ℠Denial of Service´ Attack: Why you may no longer be protected." Arbor Networks´ John Trollinger will co-present with IANS Faculty member and security expert Dave Shackleford during the webinar, which takes place on June 12, 2013, at 11:00am ET.
This webinar will focus on examples of high profile, multi-vector attacks that use stealth components and application vulnerabilities to shut down or infiltrate an enterprise´s network. Attendees will learn which types of attacks cloud providers and service providers are stopping and which types need to be handled on the internal enterprise network. John Trollinger and Dave Shackleford will also recommend a framework that will help organizations move toward a more secure stance against denial of service attacks.
John Trollinger, product marketing manager — enterprise security, Arbor Networks
Dave Shackleford, IANS Faculty member and security expert
There was a time when distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks threatened business operations by simply "flooding the network pipe" with traffic congestion. But that has all changed. Today´s sophisticated and targeted attacks use a multitude of vectors to overwhelm and infiltrate websites and online services — disrupting an enterprise´s online presence and the customer´s ability to do business with the company under attack.
While enterprises once could rely solely on their cloud service providers, ISPs, and perimeter security to protect against these attacks, many are just now learning they are vulnerable to the new types of denial of service attacks. Some of these highly targeted attacks are taking down online services while others are being used as a diversionary tactic to distract from an advanced malware attack.
This webinar will review the evolution in the denial of service landscape, discussing best practices for protecting enterprise networks from these stealthy and complex denial of service attacks.

I'm so thrilled to bring you today my review of Charlotte Hedeman Gueniau's first decorating book, Happy Home – Everyday Magic for a Colourful Home. You may know Charlotte as the lady behind the super mega Danish lifestyle brand, Rice, or you may know her home since it appeared in my first book Decorate. Since Decorate published, Charlotte relocated to a new home that she renovated and decorated from the ground up in a colorful, friendly palette (complete with a glitter bathtub) and you can see most this color-filled castle in her new book. Want to have a peek inside?
In addition to Charlotte's own space, you will see many homes belonging to her many friends and the bonus is that I've never spotted any of them before – even online – which makes this book even more special. Happy Home has everything you need to know about color, whether you love it or are scared to death to explore outside of your neutral world since it encourages you to experiment, play and not be so uptight about it – it's only color, not hostage negotiation! Have fun!
I'm going to go a bit deeper though so this won't be the standard reviews I do because in this case, the author happens to be my friend, so it's tough for me to not let out friendship influence my opinion. Honestly, she could have filled it with photos of her home and wrote on a single page, I Love Color! and I would have bought a million copies because she is just a super special person. But you know what, if you like me and my style then the fact that I like her and her style may tell you that you can still trust my opinion and the gushing words that follow.
Charlotte is the author of two Danish cookbooks, both of which I own, but when I worked in her home in 2010 for Decorate and got to know her better on the shoot, I felt really confident that she could also do a decorating book. We stayed in touch and after she appeared in mine, I dropped the idea by my UK publisher that Charlotte should do a book and before I knew it, she was sitting on a book contract because they agreed with me – she had something truly special to share that not a lot of people have. I am so glad she went for it and even happier that I was chosen to write the foreword for Happy Home because Charlotte is a true authority on hue not only because of how she lives but through the hundreds of products she and her team design for Rice which bring so much joy into homes, especially here in Europe where her brand is so well known and loved.
Another thing about Charlotte that I adore is that whenever I'm around her, I'm so inspired by her clothes! She'll show up in pink cords, neon striped shirt and a floral blazer topped with a big colorful brooch and a pair of sequined chucks on her feet and she thinks nothing of it. I adore that she owns who she is and her spirited design travels from her magical hands into everything she touches – her wardrobe, accessories, home, the food she prepares, party decor, her products… Even her car is a lovely sky blue Fiat. This is why I think she is the perfect voice for a book about colorful, bright decorating.
There is something about a woman who has such confidence and who wants to stand out and be noticed. You want some of what she has, you know? And for me, I have not only her friendship by now, her new book so there is always a little Charlotte in my life and I like that and I bet you will, too.
Please check out Happy Home because I know that you'll walk away with color confidence that you may not have guessed you had locked inside. Her approach is so casual, her words so warm and encouraging, and everything she teaches from how to make your outdoor space brighter to infusing your home with bold happy hues, will give you a burst of ideas and the energy to see them through. With Spring on its way, it's about time we turn to sunny yellow, bold blues, perky greens, fresh-picked picks and juicy orange tones to wash away this gray winter.
Charlotte, well done! I'm so happy for you and hope to see many more books from you in the very near future.
You can buy Happy Home on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and it is soon to be released in German under the title, "Funky Home: Style und Design für ein farbenfrohes Zuhause" at Amazon.de. The book is also available in all good bookstores in North America and the UK.

Hi everyone! I love a good book, don't you? That is why I have to share this sweet crafting title from blogger Abbey Hendrickson of Aesthetic Outburst today. In addition to her life as a blogger, she's a freelance artist and craft stylist living with her family on a farm in rural New York. I'm guessing that living away from the big city is what makes Abbey so super creative when it comes to crafting — often when you have less to work with you are forced to think and create and DO stuff. Of course, everyone is different, but personally I find that the less I have the more I find creative ways to get what I need.
In her new book, You Are Awesome – 21 Crafts To Make You Happy, published by Cicada Books, Abbey will show you how to get crafty with basic things you can find either already in your crafting closet or that you can pick up anywhere – and each project is really cute, too!
About You Are Awesome, "In between DIY disasters, childcare catastrophes, book obsessions and cultural consumption, Abbey makes some fantastic and funky craft projects, which she sells through her Etsy shop. You Are Awesome collects together 21 of her craft ideas from her blog and her "20 in 20″ challenge (for which she made 20 crafts in 20 days), each one presented in color and clearly explained step by step. They range from an embroidery sampler to a bookshelf to a laptop toy made from a cardboard box. The projects are fairly simple, but all distinctive and quirky, and will appeal to novices and crafting professionals alike. Each one captures the warmth and humor that Abbey herself radiates and which has made her and her blog so popular." Sounds about right to me! Here are some spreads and more pics from it to whet your appetite!
What I loved about this book: First, the gorgeous neon orange spine and the lovely cover – from the project featured to the font chosen, it looks really fresh and clean. I also love that the end papers are the most gorgeous pastel blue, so serene and such a nice complement to the neon orange accents throughout the book. The entire book feels very fresh as you flip through it, too – the layouts are simple yet striking and the font choices throughout are quite lovely. Another favorite is that it's small enough to fit into your handbag yet it still feels special because it's hardbound in some cool cardboard, I've not seen this often and totally like it because it doesn't take itself too seriously.
I also really appreciate the title, even though I'm sure being a bit vague (it's hard to tell it's a craft book when you first see it) may make it hard to find for those who don't know Abbey. Despite that though, I still love the title for one reason: it makes you feel good. I think that lots of people feel intimated by all of the perfection out there from what we are seeing on Pinterest to the pages of gorgeous magazines – it's very easy to feel like you sorta suck in comparison. That's why YOU ARE AWESOME is such a nice, "There, there, you can do it!" pat on the back kind of message. I like that.
In addition to the design of the book and title, the photography shot by Garry Maclennan is beautifully done and the illustrations throughout by Fiona Biddington from Pink Paper Circus are equally charming – what a great team Abbey had assigned to her book!
Some of my favorite projects include the Awesome pegs on p. 16/17, rainbow necklace on p. 18-21, Faceted necklace p. 34-37, Geometric ornaments p. 22/23 and the Valentine medals p. 64/65. The book also comes with handy templates in the back.
All in all, this is lovely little craft book – nice job Abbey!

What a great afternoon I had! Let me tell you what I did. First, I stressed out a little because I realized I have a few looming deadlines I'd forgotten (oops!) and, instead of working on them, I had to stick with my appointment this afternoon because there was no way I was going to cancel it… Then (the fun part), I spent 5 hours with my film instructor, Christopher, shooting and working on editing a short film we made in my work studio about the simple pleasures of reading a good book and enjoying a cup of tea. I'm not going to show it all (sorry, we didn't finish it) but it came out really good and if you'd like, you can watch some of it on Vine if you follow me there (@decor8).
Sounds simple, but there is so much that goes in to making a really good film – it's absolutely the coolest thing to really LEARN. If you want to convey emotion and lots of love (at least if that's what you're going for) without having it look boring or too corporate-y, you really have to shoot with your heart. Thankfully, he is exceptionally patient and talented because I didn't feel for a second like I was going to fall asleep – just the opposite – when it was time for him to wrap up I felt like I could have gone on learning for many hours more. It felt good to just give myself 5 hours "off" (no guilt!) from the normal routine to absorb all he had to teach me.
Later this week, we'll go on a field trip to a film studio to work some more — I feel like I'm learning so much. I have no clue what I will do in the end with this education but I'm not learning with any "goal", no big picture in mind, no end result. I'm simply learning because I've always wanted to learn about video production and editing and finally found the time to do it but also the person to teach me. I've been thinking more and more about doing a little video here and there for decor8 and my e-classes, so this is also inspiring me in that direction. But again, no big planning or new career direction. Just having some fun. It's vital to do things that we love, just because we love them.
Speaking of LOVE, this lovely e-mag that Jen Ramos from Made By Girl just released is LOVELY. It's called, Cartas De Amor, or Love Letters in English. It's a collection of personal handwritten love letters from the heart from Jennifer and 17 of her closest blogging pals. It's really sweet and personal and I think Jen did a really nice job on it and hope she does more e-mags it's nice to see her eye directing a magazine! To view the entire mag, click here.
Which reminds me… February 14th is just around the corner – I'm cooking for my family and friends and then we're all going out to see a concert so it will be a very nice day. What will you do on V day?

Hello friends! I have an interview and book review to share quickly if you have a moment… I'd like for you to meet German stylist, photographer and debut author, Peter Fehrentz. I wrote about him last year but with the launch of his gorgeous book, Made By Yourself, I had to see if he would be free for a chat and he was! Peter is very talented and is a real inspiration to me so I am honored to feature him today. The projects in his new book are so innovative and fresh, I can't wait to show you a few of them!
His publisher, DVA, gave me some images from the book to share with you so I've included them in this post along with some snaps that I took of my own copy of Made By Yourself. Won't you join us for our little chat? Good! Meet Peter Fehrentz, everyone!
First of all, where do you live and what do you do for a living?
PF: I live in both Hamburg and Berlin and I am an Interior Stylist, Set & Product Designer and Photographer.
How did you get into this profession?
PF: I studied product design and after getting my degree, I did an internship as an editorial stylist at Schöner Wohnen magazine in Germany.
Do you find Germany in general supportive of those in creative fields?
PF: Currently it is changing a lot because there are many design schools that are very supportive and there are many fairs for young designers to show their work and to get in touch with industry professionals and potential clients. So, yes there is support here!
What do you appreciate most about German life and culture?
PF: Germans are very open and curious about other cultures – it influences our daily life wherever you go. Germany is a great place for doing straight forward business, especially in the northern part of the country.
Where do you go for inspiration in Hamburg and Berlin, where you split your time?
PF: I always go where there is art – galleries, museums, cinemas and theaters. Also simply nature.
Where do you look for inspiration online?
PF: There are some blogs (like decor8) that I visit frequently but also art and style websites that are sometimes good for creative input depending on what subject I am working on.
Where has your work been featured?
PF: There are many magazines and companies that I've worked with here throughout the years, for instance Living at Home, Brigitte, Schöner Wohnen and also foreign press such as Elle Decoration, Inside Out, etc. I work with companies too, for instance Parador, Alape, Dornbracht, Duravit, Hansgrohe, JAB Anstoetz, etc.
Where did you get the idea to write, style and photograph your own book?
PF: I've always produced DIY stories for magazines anyway, but it was when I started to photograph my own ideas in 2009 that I started to feel ready for more – for a book project.
What was the process like for you to do a book – how did you get a book deal, how long did it take to do the book, etc.?
PF: First, I approached my favorite publisher, DVA, about the idea in general and they were very interested and open to it. After negotiating the contract I had about 1,5 years time to produce the book. I didn't work on it the entire time though because I had a lot of "daily business" and other jobs to do that were separate from the book. I'd estimate that the core amount of time it took me to do the book was about 6 months.
If someone living in Germany wants to get into interior styling, what would they need to do to be taken seriously and break into the profession?
PF: The best thing is to assist a stylist who is very talented and very busy in the industry for a long period of time (years not months). There is so much to learn and explore and this will not happen overnight. It takes patience. After assisting for awhile, and once one feels secure and ready, you have to find magazines, photographers, clients and agencies that fit your style and – very important – like you personally. Then you proceed from there to pitch some of your ideas and see what happens!
Who are some of your favorite stylists from other parts of the world?
PF: Rhea Thierstein, Robyn Glaser and Studio Toogood.
What do you think makes a stylist "good"?
PF: When styling is not only decoration but also has a certain twist. I like work that tells a story in a subtle way and it's even better when this is done with a little irony. Not only one the surface but something deeper with many layers.
In Germany, there aren't many gurus in design like we have in America, there are not a lot of well known names like Jonathan Adler or Kelly Wearstler. Why do you think this is the case?
PF: Germany doesn't have a strong decorating tradition like some other countries. Sometimes I think one reason could be due to World War II. Right before the war, we had the Bauhaus which is still very popular and adored all over the world. After the war everything was about rebuilding and escaping the trauma for a long time and it is still not very popular to hire an interior designer here. I am not sure though if that really can be a reason, it makes sense to me, but perhaps it's just in the German nature.
Would you like to be better "known" in Germany – famous for style and design for instance?
PF: I just like doing what I do and I am not really keen on being famous. I like the idea of reaching a large number of people and sharing my passion for what I've explored and what I believe in though. It's always great getting response on your work.
Tell us about your book! What do you love about it?
PF: From the beginning, I always wanted the book to be about inspiration so people who love books can feel joy by looking at the photos but it should also work for those who love to build and handcraft things. When I peruse the pages of my book, I still like to look at all the pictures, the layout and design, and the colors. I hope that those who bought the book have the same feelings, too!
What is your favorite project in the book?
PF: There is not one in particular but two of my many favorites are the concrete lamp base (p.101) and the drop shaped mirrors (p.16).
What is a really big dream of yours?
PF: This book! I had wanted to do a book for a long time and I am really grateful that I found a publisher who gave me the freedom to make it a very personal piece – a true reflection of my taste and style.
If you'd like to see a video interview with Peter (in German) or watch him make a project for the book, you can click here for two videos on his site. To buy a copy of his book, please visit Amazon or his publisher, DVA (Random House).
Thank you Peter for the interview – so nice to get to know you better! If anyone has questions for Peter, please ask him in the comments section. Thank you!

I love dealing with the people that are excited about their vacations like our family is. We love going to Northern Michigan and enjoying the beautiful areas and attractions.
Jackie Weber purchased this cottage in 2003
This is a fantastic location. Up North feeling, but Traverse City is only 6 miles away. Also, great restaurants, golf, malls, etc. within 3 miles.
Interlochen Center for the Arts very close as well with great concerts.
The cottage is unique in that it is very spacious and private on the inside and only 10' from the beautiful water through the screened in porch. This unique benefit has been grandfathered in and could not be re-built this way. It is a great relaxing place to be - on the water without the annoying mosquitoes and sipping your coffee or a cocktail.
Nicely repainted and updated! It was a beautiful weekend here and we enjoyed the stay. Loved the lake, the area and the town! We will definitely come back for fall color tour!
Love the new dishes in the kitchen and the new mattress also!
We spend a few days at Lake Bass and it was a wonderful time. The lake is really nice and quiet. The house fits the description on their web site. We have watched the 7 minutes movie which shows a walkthrough the house and it demonstrates what you will get there.
The only thing we were a little bit disappointed about was the BBQ-grill and that there were no coal available.
We stayed at this cottage for 2 nights, Jackie the owner was kind enough to tell me that I could arrive as early as I wanted on Friday :-)
The Cottage is exactly as it shows on the pictures,we were there specifically to admire the fall colors and we were not disappointed, we like the fact that it was close to downtown Traverse City, also it was very quiet, we met one of the neighbors and he was very nice and helpful.
The view from the screened deck was nice and calm, enjoyed the sunrise and sunset as well as a peaceful environment.
Fireplace was nice to have, I guess my only negative comment is about the sofa bed, it is kind of old and when I tried extended to sleep on it the funny smell made me close it, and could not be used as a bed.
Overall I would recommend this place, the owners also provided a row boat and paddle boat which was very nice. We wanted it a peaceful getaway weekend and that's exactly what we got, thank you for letting us rent your place.
My Brother and I arrived last night for a 3 night stay and we were so happy. The place is charming and the view I awoke to was breath taking. The owners have been great to work with. I came from California so if by chance your wondering Jackie was awesome to work with on holding the cabin for us..so thank you Jackie. And for those who mentioned the pots and pans... They bought a nice set of T fal so I felt special. I have no complaints just praise. You must come vist in the early fall for the colors are spectacular. I came across the country to see them and I'm not disappointed. I met the neighbors and they even offered thier kayak's for my brother and I to use even though there is a rowboat for us. How sweet. So thank you for the use if your place. Renee Cobb. California
Beautiful, quiet setting - loved getting up early to see the beautiful sunrise. The cottage is older and could use some updates. Beds were not comfortable and it could use new kitchen flooring. There was not a kettle big enough to make soup or spaghetti, the no stick fry pans are peeling. It was great to have a washer and dryer and a dishwasher. We had a cold week so the electric fireplace was nice, also. We had a great time but I expected a bit nicer accomodations for the price. The peaceful lake and screened in porch helped me overlook the negatives. Owners seemed kind and helpful.
We had a wonderful time. The cottage was great, the kids had a blast, we caught a lot of fish. It was real easy getting over to Empire to swim on the few warm days. This first time staying outside of TC or the Peninsula gave us an opportunity to enjoy the other great towns in the area and the lovely countryside. Thank you again, Bill.
We had a great time in Traverse, the cabin is located just minutes away from town but yet you felt very secluded. The lake is just outside the door and we had fun with the paddle boat and some kayaks that were lent to us. The cabin was very comfortable space wise and clean. I would recommend that the owners update the mattresses and pillows for sure in the master and the room with the bunks, they were not comfortable to sleep on, other than that a great place to stay and would consider it again with some upgrades to the bedding. Coming from Texas I was worried about no AC but the weather was great, window fan in the room with the bunks needs to be replaced, very noisy. All in all with the minor complaints nice place to stay very relaxing and peaceful place to spend a week in Northern Michigan. Owner was very prompt to answer any questions that I had.
Great location. True 'Up North' Cottage setting on beautiful Bass Lake, yet only a ten minute drive to downtown, shopping, wineries, casinos, and the Grand Traverse Bay.
