Sable Nelson of Wilson, Wyoming
Not all of Ducks Unlimited's members walk on two legs. Sable, an 18-month-old Labrador retriever, is one of DU's Junior Legacy Greenwing members.
Conservation may be a difficult concept for a dog to grasp, but each time Sable retrieves a duck she's doing her part. Her owner, Heritage Sponsor Greg Nelson of Wilson, Wyoming, has been committed to wetland conservation for many years. "I was always told that if you take from the resource, you have to give back," Greg says. "I wanted Sable to be part of the Ducks Unlimited family."
For her part, Sable is eager to continue her waterfowling adventures and do whatever it takes to help the ducks, especially if it involves retrieving.

The stimulus bill signed by President Obama in February provides billions of dollars for energy efficiency programs.
That includes $4 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to fix up public housing and increase energy efficiency of units. Another half-billion will do the same for homes maintained by Native American housing programs.
These financial investments are expected to cut energy costs and CO2 emissions while also creating green-collar jobs .
The program helps landlords and property managers cut their heating and air conditioning costs by installing more efficient systems. It also pays for more modern faucets and toilets to help reduce water waste. According to HUD, utility costs make up nearly a quarter of public housing operating costs.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan says every dollar of stimulus funds his agency spends can be reviewed and tracked at HUD's Recovery Act website.

Just a short note to tell you what a wonderful job all of the guides and drivers did to make our Italy trip so enjoyable. For every single appointment we were met on time by our guides and/or drivers and since punctuality is a big deal with me I was very pleased. I would rate all of the guides an A as they were extremely knowledgeable. Special kudos to Daniella whom we toured with in Venice - San Marco on May 18th and Mariana (sub for Maria Elena Fanti) whom we toured Florence with on May 20th. Both of them spoke very good English and had a very warm and friendly personality. We absolutely loved Sorrento and the Amalfi coast and I am really glad we added the day trip to Cinque Terre. Two unplanned special events occurred while we were there - first was the earthquake on May 20th at 4:00 am in the morning while we were on the 14th floor of the Florence Hilton Metrople (we swayed quite a bit for at least a minute) and prior to our tour of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome we were able to see the Pope as he made an appearance at a large gathering in St. Peter's Square. Also it was a nice touch having Andrea Mola at the Rome airport for our trip home as we had some issues with the size and weight of our bags. He was able to help us through some anxious moments. Great job! Larry

If you're trying to think of a healthy side dish to counter all the decadence of the holidays, rice can be the perfect go-to-dish. For one, rice is a good meal extender. It has built in health benefits. And if you pick a brown rice casserole, then you're in for a delightfully nutty, moist and flavorful dish.
Brown rice benefits are immense. It is rich in antioxidants. Its nutrients are known to lower cholesterol. And since it is rich in fiber and selenium, brown rice can help maintain one's weight . Overall, there is no doubt brown rice is one of the world's healthiest foods.
Although it takes slightly longer to cook than white rice, this Brown Rice with Sausages & Vegetables will definitely get the approval of anyone who tries it. I had no difficulty putting this together. I had two different types of sausages : Italian and Spanish chorizos, a bowl of assorted vegetables and cups of brown rice and broth. Once I finished cooking, it was sheer brown rice perfection. It was an all around good quality, healthy rice dish and instantly became a family hit.
For the complete recipe of BROWN RICE WITH SAUSAGES AND VEGETABLES, head on over to my friends at Homemade Quirk, a community blog of Quirk Books. While you're there, browse around, they've got some good reads!

Chicago-based advertising and editorial food and product photographer Colin Beckett is our PhotoServe weekly contest winner. Christmas is over but we thought we had to show his interesting take on the holidays. The image here is part of a series of three that Beckett has been creating this last month that he calls The Grinch Series. It's just a different slant on holiday photos. In November, Beckett was busy with a new campaign he shot for Mike's Hard Lemonade with Tris3ct that will be coming out in the summer. "I had a lot of fun working with the creative team building and testing all the summer-time props that we focused on for the shoot even though it was 25 degrees outside in Chicago," says Beckett. We'll just have to wait until summer to see all the cool tips and tricks they came up with. But for now, we still have a little bit of Christmas. www.colinbeckett.com

PARKERSBURG - A motion for the city to pay $34,000 toward the repair of the streets of the Wyndemere subdivision died for lack of a second Tuesday in council's finance committee meeting.
Officials say the topic is not dead, however, and will likely come before full council for a vote in the near future.
Mayor Bob Newell requested the funds, saying the subdivision had been annexed by Parkersburg in 1999, but the streets were not finished by the developers and were never annexed.

Newell said the money would be matched by Gregory B. Krivchenia II through his K2 of West Virginia LLC, and the remaining cost would be covered by the Wyndemere Homeowners Association.
Newell specified the money from the city would finish up the project and would only be available after the streets are dedicated by council.
Following a nearly hour-long committee meeting Tuesday, council member Roger Brown made a motion to approve the city funds, but the motion died for lack of a second.
Newell said other Parkersburg subdivisions in similar situations have had their streets dedicated and repaired by the city.
"I think to deny any citizen what we've done for others is inherently wrong," Newell said.
A major sticking point for council members was a closed gate which sits at the entrance to Wyndemere Drive off of 12th Street in Vienna. There is no gate at the end of Wyndemere Way which connects to College Parkway in Parkersburg.
Newell said the gate and the portion of road it occupies would not be dedicated by the city and would function the same as a wall or other barrier.
Attorney Ginny Conley, representing K2 of West Virginia, said the gate improves safety along the roads because it discourages motorists from speeding through the subdivision.
Residents of Wyndemere said the gate has helped them eliminate issues with damage to the road, trash and even vandalism, by discouraging through traffic.
But some council members balked at the idea of the gate remaining.
"I'd like to put a gate at the end of 16th Avenue, if it doesn't constitute a gated community," Councilwoman Nancy Wilcox said. "We have children who play along those roads too, so it's a safety issue."
John Migliore, president of the Wyndemere Homeowners Association, said no gate, no deal.
"I was told under no circumstances were we to open that gate," he said, adding the homeowners might seek to remove the subdivision from Parkersburg if no deal on the roads can be reached.
Newell said the only complaints the city receives about the gate are from those who want to use the Wyndemere roads as a shortcut between Parkersburg and Vienna.
"I don't know why we want to create a shortcut to Vienna for people to spend money," he said. "If this was a shortcut to Patriot Plaza (in Parkersburg), I might think a little differently."
Several times during the meeting, city attorney Joe Santer said council was confusing the issue by focusing on the gate.
"Forget the gate. Forget 12th Street," Santer said. "They are asking the city to take the streets. Either way, that gate stays. It is not a gate issue."
Santer said as long as one end of the street remains open, the street meets the definition of public access.
"That would give you restricted access. It does not eliminate access," he said. "You are not going to decide whether there is a gate or not. It is their gate."
Committee chairman and council member John Rockhold said an issue that dies in committee is not actually dead. The city charter requires items brought before council to be sponsored by a committee, which indicates at least three committee members approved the item, or have three individual council members act as sponsors.
Newell said he believes despite the committee's lack of a vote, he has the sponsors to bring the motion before council.
"I think the entire city council should have the chance to vote on this and that is exactly my intent, to find sponsors to bring this before council," Newell said.

Star Gazing: Congressman pushes for 'Elvis Presley Day' Jan. 8
A North Carolina congressman defeated for re-election last month has introduced a resolution expressing congressional support for designating Jan. 8 as "Elvis Presley Day."
Rep. Larry Kissell, D-N.C., has already picked up 10 co-sponsors.
The resolution notes that Presley was born Jan. 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Miss., and "remains one of the most famous American entertainers of all time whose influence on music and whose cultural impact continues today."
It notes that Presley served in the U.S. Army and has been "hailed as the 'King of Rock and Roll.'" It notes that he died in Memphis and that Graceland is on the National Register of Historic Places. And it points out that the 1993 postage stamp featuring Elvis became the most popular commemorative stamp in United States history.
In a statement shortly after introducing the resolution, Kissell, who represents a district east of Charlotte, said that in 1973, a billion people eventually watched the Elvis television broadcast "Aloha From Hawaii."
The legislation-monitoring website Govtrack.us gives the bill a 31 percent chance of passing before Congress adjourns later this month.

Washington, D.C.-State Sen. Wendy Davis on Wednesday kicked off a swing through Washington with a series of private meetings and a speech to House Democrats from the Texas delegation.
Davis, a Democratic candidate for Texas governor, is in the nation's capital to raise campaign money and fire up base supporters for her race against Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott or former Texas Republican Party Chairman Tom Pauken.
Her speech to the Texas Democratic delegation to the House was closed to the news media.
Members who attended said they looked forward to her campaign.
"She has a fighting chance," said U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio. "The demographics in the state have changed and Battleground Texas and other organizations are finally doing the grassroots work that's required to register more voters and mobilize them in November."
Castro said Davis has a compelling life story that contrasts in a politically favorable way with the policies of Republicans like Abbott.
On Friday Battleground Texas, a grassroots organization led by former campaign aides to President Barack Obama, is hosting a Washington fund-raiser for Davis. Another Democratic group, the Lone Star Project, is co-hosting the event.
The Abbott campaign has blasted Davis' trip to Washington and warns that she's trying to bring Obama-styled politics and policies to Texas.
Davis wants to raise at least $40 million for her campaign. She's running unopposed in the March Democratic primary.

The Secretary of Teachers Registration Council, TRC, in Akwa Ibom, Mrs Esther Essien was on Sunday kidnapped by unknown gunmen around Itu Local Government Area of the state on her way back from church.
Confirming the abduction on Monday, the Director of State Security Service, SSS, in Akwa Ibom, Toma Minti said, "I can confirm to you, talk to the police. We are working on it, we understand she was kidnapped around Itu."
The State's Commissioner for Education, Eunice Thomas, expressed optimism that the victim would be released unhurt,
Ms. Thomas however ruled out possibility of the abduction being masterminded by a staff of the ministry.
"You see, we are told that she drove alone back from the church, in such case she is vulnerable," Ms. Thomas said.
A reliable source said the kidnappers were alleging that the husband, being a politician, had not "serviced the boys,"
No specific amount had been demanded as ransom by the kidnappers.
However the Akwa Ibom State Police Command spokesperson, Etim Dickson could not confirm the development because he is at Abuja for a conference.

By Jason Tudor, GCMC Public Affairs OfficerApril 1, 2014
GARMISCH, Germany -- On stage, he is what you expect an actor to become: transformed. Something else. Another person in another time. He is immersed, delivering lines, running the blocking and being truthful about the role, holding fast to English poet Alexander Pope's decree to "act well your part; there all the honor lies."
Yet those close to Jim Miller watching him in this role would raise their eyebrows. Jim? That guy? The contracting specialist from the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies? Not Jim.
For the first time in his life, Miller performed on stage in a play put on by the Family MWR Garmisch Players Community Theater, in March. In taking the role Woodruff Gately, a shell-shocked Vietnam veteran from Georgia in "Pvt. Wars," Miller would echo his friends' comments.
"I think everybody is surprised," Miller said. "I surprised myself. It's not something I thought I would ever do. And I think most folks back home would say the same thing."
At Pleasant Valley High School in Bettendorf, Iowa, Miller's friends knew him as an athlete playing football, wrestling and hurling a shot put. At the University of Iowa, similar memories and a six-year stint in the Iowa National Guard as a combat engineer, including a deployment to Afghanistan. Nowhere in there was a hint of acting.
When he started his DOD civilian career in Rock Island, Ill., he made another deployment for seven months to Afghanistan and kicked off his career as a contracting officer, but still no acting. It wasn't until he touched down in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and read about a 2013 casting call for movie extras that the bug hit him.
"I submitted a photo to a web site," Miller said. "Then I forgot about it."
They didn't forget him. His phone rang three weeks later with a callback. A month after that, costumers had the burly six-footer outfitted in a Navy SEAL costume and standing alongside Samuel L. Jackson as the president of the United States in the film "Big Game."
Filming took place over three days in the mountains near Garmisch. Miller said a helmet covered his face, so no one will see him. "I think my voice is in [Big Game]," he said, laughing. Did he meet Jackson? "He said 'hello' to us at around five in the morning as he was getting out of his car." The film is expected to debut sometime in 2014, according to iMDB.com.
A few weeks later, Miller stood repairing picture frames in the Garmisch Arts and Crafts Center when Michelle Schneider, Garmisch crafts and entertainment director, approached him about attending acting workshops at the crafts center.
"She told me they were having an acting workshop and that I should come. I didn't have anything better to do, so I gave it a shot."
Schneider thought Miller "looked like the theater type to me. He just seemed to have the character to be on stage."
"I just saw it as something new; something I could challenge myself with," Miller said. "I've always wondered what it would be like to perform for somebody."
Stephen Simpson, who works at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch, directed "Pvt. Wars" and got to know Miller through his work during the acting workshops, which ran from August to November 2013. He said Miller is focused and dedicated to the craft, and that he was the "absolute right fit for the role." When Simpson led the acting workshops Miller jumped into, he said Miller started out quiet but eventually came out of his shell.
Soon after, she thought of Miller when the theater started work on "Pvt. Wars." However, Miller broke his ankle in a skiing accident in January. Intent on casting Miller for a role, Schneider said since the play was based in a hospital, they were willing to work around the injury.
"He was a perfect cast for the role," she said. "He fell right into character. It smells like an award."
The "award" Schneider mentioned is a Tournament of Plays, or "Topper" Award, the U.S. Army Europe Entertainment version of an academy award. "Pvt. Wars" is one of 17 plays competing in the U.S. Army Installation Command Europe Tournament of Plays in 2014.
If there is an award for Miller to win, Simpson pointed to the actor's dedication, limping around on a broken ankle during 18 rehearsals, some running four hours per night. There were lines and blocking to be memorized; lighting and sets to be designed and the litany of work that goes into making a play. Further, this is the first time in about six years the theater produced a play.
Despite the wait and any potential rust that might have developed, the play is a hit in the community.
Miller's Marshall Center contracting co-worker Jacqueline Garrido said she is gathering a group of friends to catch one of the final "Pvt. Wars" performances. While others may think this is a break from Miller's character, Garrido felt this was a right fit for him.
"I thought he would be good at it. I find him to very personable," said Garrido, adding that she's looking forward to seeing him perform. "I've heard that he was very good in it."
Miller believed his first performances had their own rewards and he's looking forward to more.
"I like hearing the audience laugh and having people respond to what you are doing," he said. "The best part was hearing a room full of people laughing at you; and the applause at the end. All that hard work comes to that."
Simpson credited Miller's patience. "In case of the role he is playing, he just worked and worked, and then the light came on around the beginning of March. It was a case of his ability to get the characterization that I was looking for and if he would fit the role I could mold for him. And he did so very well."
And Miller's advice to others watching his transformation in the spotlight shine on the Iowa native and thinking of jumping into an audition? "Just try it at your community theater at least once. I'm no super thespian, and I think it's great."

Simon Cowell ripped Russell Brand for calling for a revolution.
The "X Factor" judge criticized Brand's recent claims that democracy in the western world isn't working and the system needs revolutionizing.
Cowell told Shortlist magazine, "A revolution? He's getting $10 million a movie. I mean, come on!"
Cowell reportedly suggested 38-year-old Brand should use some of his own money to help change the things he criticized several weeks ago.
"Well, give your money back then, Russell," Cowell said. "I always say that about people. Start off as you mean to go on. Donate all the money back to the revolution, and then I'll believe it. I'm living in a $10 million mansion and I want a revolution? Give me a break."
Maybe Brand wants a revolution where he can be the rich dictator.
Brand made his comments in October during an appearance on BBC. "It's not that I'm not voting out of apathy," Brand said. "I'm not voting out of absolute indifference and weariness and exhaustion from the lies, treachery and deceit from the political class that's been going on for generations now.
"I don't think (voting) works," he continued. "The planet is being destroyed. We are creating an underclass. We are exploiting poor people all over the world and the genuine, legitimate problems of the people are not being addressed by the political class."

Celebration of the Greeks
November 4, 2011
Which came first – the Roman Catholic Church or the Greek Orthodox?
I learned a lot more about the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Asheville, North Carolina when I spent some time at the Greek Festival, held each September on the church grounds in the historic Montford Neighborhood.
I listened to Nick Demos and the Greek Islanders playing authentic Greek music, wandered through the marketplace, watched Greek dancing, and marveled at a myriad of cultural demonstrations.
Before we ate, my wife and I decided to take the church tour, and we were impressed and inspired by the architecture and aesthetics. A priest greeted us in the foyer, an area, which he said represented our earthly experience. He then led us through the building and discussed the symbolism and the theological basis of each. We especially enjoyed information he shared on iconography and much of he artwork on display.
It was during the tour that we learned about the split between the Greek and Roman churches centuries ago. It seems that, in 1054, the Greek Orthodox denied that the Pope had any unique authority over them, so Pope Leo IX and Eastern Patriarch Michael I excommunicated each other. Politics as usual.
What would a Greek "Panagen" or "festival" be without food? Lots of great food was plentiful and easy to find. There was a cafeteria style "a la carte" dining area inside the Hellenic building where a long line of visitors also purchased Greek pastries.
The crowds must haves been huge. By the time we arrived on Sunday afternoon, they had sold out of moussaka and baklava. A Gyro Tent and a soft drink tent were situated near the common pavilion where the dancing and music were located.
My wife and I got an assortment of spanakopita, a pork tenderloin on a stick stuffed with grapes, and potato salad, which we ate in the tent that also housed the "Kafenion" (coffee house) and beer tavern. We enjoyed it completely. No leftovers to take home.
We did leave with a better appreciation for another aspect of Christianity, inspiration from the pastor, and an enthusiastic anticipation of next year's festival. Oh! And I enjoyed some homemade ice cream on the way back to the car.

Sugar is the James Bond of food: It has code names, appears where you least expect it and leaves a trail of destruction in its wake. Oh, and we kind of have a thing for it. "It tastes good, and the more that's produced, the more we eat," says George Bray, M.D., chief of the clinical obesity and metabolism division at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Since 1970, the amount of sugar in processed foods has nearly doubled, largely because sugar is cheap and readily available. Today it's pumped into pretty much everything to make food products more enticing—even ones that are already sweet, such as fruit juice. As a result, the average American gobbles up 43,800 more calories from added sugar (meaning sweeteners, like high fructose corn syrup and honey, that are added to packaged foods) per year than we did in 1977.
Donna Thorpe
Trouble is, our body isn't equipped to handle this amount. If a woman's intake of added sugars increases by more than 20 percent, her body-mass index rises 2 to 3 points, which is enough to shift from the normal weight to the overweight category or from overweight to obese, a 27-year study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has found. Research has also linked increased sugar consumption to higher rates of diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome.
Thayer Allison Gowdy
But before you envision a sad existence devoid of chocolate, know that we at SELF would never suggest such a thing. (We love chocolate, too!) Besides, "cutting out sugar completely isn't necessary or even possible," says Suzanne Farrell, R.D., of Denver. What is: indulging wisely, by curbing cravings and eliminating hidden sources. On these pages, we make eating a lot less sugar a cakewalk.

In a previous post, I provided a list of venues for artists, artisans and artisan crafters.
This week I'm profiling another of those sites. Artfire is relatively new to the online handmade selling venue catalog, but their growth has been phenomenal over the last few months. (See the graph from Quantcast below).
Alexa ranks them at 87,085 overall, but take note of the more recent traffic ranking numbers from the last week or so below.
I asked John Jacobs, the President of Artfire, to tell us a bit more about the venue.
What is the site name and where can artisan sellers find you?
ArtFire can be found at http://www.ArtFire.com
We maintain a social media presence and can be found on Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, and Myspace. We are also developing features to help our members manage their social footprint using these sites as well.
Tell us a little about your site's history. What are its origins?
Our parent companies have an e-commerce background and we have been in the trenches and abused by huge online market places and venues for years as sellers and business owners. The ArtFire site was born out of a need to offer a better alternative for sellers of handmade to represent themselves in a fair and equitable manner. Many of us over the years have been challenged with the ever changing environment of the Internet frontier and have very little time after performing our core business functions, to build a web site, market and advertise our wares, and keep up with the changing social media landscape.
Up until this point sites like EBay were able to prey on small businesses and artisans and charge incredible fees for their venue and traffic. In fact some calculations put the actual server and bandwidth cost of a listing on eBay as low as just .02 cents and falling! So after years of abuse, and repression, we decided that we would not take it anymore. So we built a better community with a focus on supporting its members and a spirit of service. We think that the future of the internet is aggregation of micro segments and we want to help support this movement while nourishing a unique market segment that is close to our hearts, and that often lacks adequate respect; the artist community.
Tell us about the site's staff.
I don't code, and can barely even spell PHP ;o) , but I do know a couple guys that can! Here are the people we owe our success to: The Team: Kyle, Matt, and Aaron are some of the best programmers I have ever met. That is important, but you know what's really impressive? Their attitude, drive, and dogged commitment to making the community better! These guys never stop, they never sleep, and they are always innovating and adapting!
I am not sure how we were lucky enough to find such a talented team, and this really rings true in the case of our lead site designer Jen. I am certain we would not be where we are today without her insight and holistic understanding of not just aesthetic design, but function and User Interface.
Those of you that track us on Twitter at http://www.Twitter.com/ArtFire have met Sara, one of our super fast, multi-tasking, gen-Y cyber editors who is an all around riot to have on our team, and Twitters circles around me! In fact she is ranked in the top 250 "Tweeters" on the internet! She also reminds us to have fun and laugh at ourselves, which is refreshing after a long 14 hour day!
And then, there's Tony Ford. When Tony and I were in our Master's Degree program together we always challenged each other to perform better and eventually found that when we tackled projects together we reached even further and could not be beaten. Tony Ford is perhaps one of the brightest marketing guru's that the Internet has ever seen. During the development of ArtFire, we brought in consultants, SEO, SEM, development, and marketing companies. You know, we fired every one of them, and do everything our selves now. Tony is always right there on the front lines, not just pushing the proverbial ArtFire cart, but pulling it, and the rest us, up the hill along with it!
What is your plan for the site? What are your goals?
Our mission is to support artists and their businesses. We approach this goal in a little different manner however as compared to other sites. We don't worry about what venue an artist sells their item on, we offer tools to increase success in general and even on sites that some may see as our competitor. Take for example the new Market Hub feature (see image below) that displays an artist's full social footprint for a potential buyer to explore. This tool allows a buyer to fully understand, discover, sample the depth and efforts an artist employs to sell their wares.
Who is your target seller audience?
ArtFire supports handmade artists. We also have additional categories to list supplies, vintage, and media items. Our site is designed with small business in mind and aims to reduce the time spent by designers in establishing and growing their business on line.
Who is your target buyer audience? How will you drive buyers to your venue?
There are many affinity groups that purchase handmade, from the environmentally conscious to those who desire unique quality items crafted with meaning. We run an extensive traditional and online media and viral marketing campaign that adapts to successes in near real time; changes to suit the shifting market almost constantly; and employs emerging techniques and strategies that maximize reach. You will see us in national publications and hear us on small town radio stations around the US. But our marketing extends beyond traditional and even new media to viral, community driven promotion of the handmade ethic. We understand that a market place must bring buyers and invest substantial resources in growing a robust buyer base. We want to bring not just bulk traffic to the site, but qualified individuals that appreciate the values that make handmade items so unique.
Is this an international, domestic US, Far East or European focused site?
Our market is global, though most members are creating from the US. We always keep an eye out for better ways in which we can support international transactions, buyers, and members. We built the site with a currency converter on every page and offer extended support for non-US based members. As we grow we will remember that the US may have borders but artists and great art do not.
What differentiates this venue from other online selling venues?Why should artisan sellers consider utilizing this site as a resource instead of other, older sites or their own sites?
We coined a concept we call Community Directed Development (CDD) which puts the community in the driver's seat of site direction and features. This requires us to move very quickly, put our leaders on the front line of service, and this allows us to adapt to the needs of our members in real time. For example on Christmas eve we decided to roll out Google Analytics and within 120 minutes of sitting down to discuss rolling out of GA, we were up and fully functional, site wide. This feature and many others are absolutely free to the community, including instant and automatic submission to Google Shopping (Google Base).
We encourage and offer tools to increase your social footprint, teach members to promote their business and their personal brand, and challenge sellers to manage as many channels as they comfortably or effectively can. You never know which channel will bring in the most buyers and we believe that members should embrace an ArtFire AND ETSY approach to selling handmade items, not an ArtFire OR ETSY position.
How have you structured your seller pricing?
After many years of paying insertion fees and final valuation fees, we chose a simple straight forward plan that puts the member (seller) first. List 10 items at a time, when several sell, put more up in their place, absolutely free. If you would like access to enhanced features, and want to list UNLIMITED ITEMS, it will only cost you $20.00 a month! We are currently offering the next several thousand members a $7.00/month upgraded "Verified" account, which will never increase in price, ever. (Note from the editor: Right now, as a reward to join and help work out all the bugs in the beta version of the site, you pay $7 a month. That's it. No additional listing fees, no final value fees, no sales commissions. Ever. And it's $7 per month. As long as you own your shop. And, if you refer 10 individuals to the site that open Verified accounts, your shop fees will be waived FOREVER. Very cool! More information here )
What else should we know?
We roll out new features constantly, adapt quickly, interact in our own forums, and I can be contacted directly on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/ArtFireJohn
Thank you John!

Stay tuned over the next weeks as I will be profiling more artisan handmade selling venues with interviews from the site owners. You can find this site's traffic rank according to Compete.com here

"Who is God's Son?" Hebrews 1:1-3
Perhaps the most important question that can ever be asked and answered is: "Who is Jesus Christ?" Is Jesus the eternal Son of God, or is He simply a good teacher? Is He God incarnate in human flesh, or simply a man about whom a myth has grown so that some declare His divinity? The Bible is unequivocal about its answer to these questions. Jesus is God incarnate in human flesh. We find such a declaration of this fact in the opening paragraph of the book of Hebrews.
The writer of Hebrews begins his book without the usual identification and greeting in order to jump right into his subject. What a subject it is! Who is Jesus, the Son of the Living God?
"God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds." (Hebrews 1:1–2). The message of these verses is that in the revelation of God there is diversity and unity.
The writer underlined the diversity in the first verse by emphasizing that God's revelation through the prophets was first a piecemeal revelation. The first word in the Greek sentence is the word translated "at various times" in our translation could probably be better translated "in many parts."
God revealed Himself in the Bible, little by little, and bit by bit. Each installment built on what had come before to give us what we call progressive revelation. We see this every year in our Christmas service. In our service we read some of the verses in the Old Testament which show us God's plan of redemption being progressively revealed. We begin with the first glimpse that God gives us of His plan of redemption in Genesis 3:15. "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." Did God give us the entirety of what He was going to do? No. He began the process of showing us "bit by bit."
It was also that the revelation through the prophets came in "various ways." God spoke with Adam in the cool of the day in the Garden. He appeared to Abraham in a theophany. He appeared to Jacob in a dream, and as the Angel of the LORD He wrestled with Jacob.
To Moses God spoke "face to face as a man speaks with his friend." He also dictated to Moses the Law. From Moses to Malachi, God's revelation is presented as history, Psalm, and prophecy. God's method of revelation was diverse in form.
It also was diverse in time. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son."
Do you see the contrast? The first revelation was in time past and to the fathers. It was an historical revelation. It happened in the past. It also was a revelation to our forbearers in the faith. While there is a difference in our times and cultural situations, the revelation is one we must see and understand.
The culmination of the revelation came in "these last days." This is the Messianic age. In contrast to the progressive and piecemeal revelation of the prophets, we have the completion of the revelation in the Lord Jesus Christ. "Has in these last days spoken to us by His Son." God's last word to man is found in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We read a similar statement in the Gospel of John. In John 1:17-18 John wrote: "For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." We find what was revealed through the prophets contrasted with that which was given us in the Son. Moses showed us our need of a Savior in the Law, while Jesus came and showed the grace and truth in God's plan as He became the Savior that was required. Jesus expounded God to us.
Although there is diversity in the revelation, there is also a vital unity. It is the revelation of the one true and living God. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son." God spoke. God is the revealer and the revealed one. The revelation is an unveiling of God's person and plan. It is a unified revelation because it reveals the One true and living God.
This has important ramifications. Some would divide the New Testament revelation of God in the person of His Son from the Old Testament revelation. This is a mistake. Law and Gospel go together. The Law lays down the groundwork and breaks up the hardened soil of the heart. The Gospel is the rest of the story. It is the good news that Jesus came to save us who are under the condemnation of the Law. Without the Law the rest of the story makes no sense.
This unity is important because God has completed His revelation in His Son. When the New Testament closed, there is no need for further revelation. We don't need prophets to reveal God to us. God has finished His revelation in His Son. We don't need dreams and visions, etc., because God's revelation is complete. Don't let any one mislead you.
The writer is not satisfied to just tell us that Jesus is consummation of the revelation of God, he also tells us who this Jesus is. "Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:3).
First, Jesus has been "appointed the heir of all things." (Hebrews 1:2). This simply means that the focus and point of everything created is the Son of God. In Revelation, we read of the 24 elders engaging in worship of the Lord and saying: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are [exist] and were created."
Second, He is also the one through whom God the Father created all things. "Through whom also He made the worlds." The word translated worlds is the word "ages." John 1:3 says, "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." The emphasis here is that He not only created every thing, but He created and controls all the ages of time.
Third, the Lord Jesus is the one, "who is [being] the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person." He is the radiance of His glory and He is the express image of the Father's Person. The word "being" is important. The Lord Jesus was always the image of God Himself. He did not become it. He has always been the radiance of His glory. He has also always been the image of the Father's person. That is why Jesus could say to Philip in John 14:9 "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father." Jesus is God of very God.
He upholds all things by the word of His power. Jesus sustains the universe that He has made. Do we see His majesty and His divinity here? Colossians 1:16-17, "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." What angel could do this? None. Could any created being? Absolutely not.
He is the one who, "when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." Jesus put away our sins, if we have put our trust in Him. One of the recurring themes in this book is how the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus took care of our sin once for all.
We have learned many things about who the Lord Jesus Christ is today. The most important thing that He can be for you is your Savior. Have you believed in Him? Has He saved you once for all?

Owned and funded by a Macau based development company, Savan Vegas is situated close enough to the border of Thailand to allow for many Thai residents to cross over the border and gamble.
The Hotel and Casino is open twenty four hours, has a plethora of stores to shop, restaurants to dine at, bars and clubs to make merriment, and health and fitness centers to get fit. All in all, one of the most modern building and facilities currently in Laos.

Fred Setterberg is no stranger to writing and publishing, with three nonfiction books and numerous articles under his pen, but his recently released fact-based fiction novel, "Lunch Box Paradise," proved to be an entirely new challenge.
"I spent 10 years with this book because I didn't really know how to write fiction," he said. "But it was really fun, and I loved doing it."
The Oakland author's efforts and enthusiasm for the story of suburban life in 1950s and '60s California is evident in the attention to period detail, richness of characters and humor that lead the reader through eight chapters and 20 years in a family's life.
Each chapter represents a period and theme that defined the times and the people who lived them, among washer and dryer combos, bug spray, frozen vegetables, neon-yellow cake mix and ultra-green lawns. Though not a straight memoir, the spirit of the story reflects the small town where Setterberg spent his childhood and the things that were important to his parents and their working-class community.
The idea for the book had been simmering for many years.
"For the last many decades I wanted to write about where I grew up, which represents an experiment in the process of our becoming a suburban nation," Setterberg said. "The other thing that was important to me was to write about class, and this was a working-class community."
Jefferson Manor, Setterberg's fictional town, represents the small town of San Leandro, where plumbers, electricians and people who made good union wages personalized their identical tract homes, dreamed the American dream and believed their children could use education to improve their lives. Though Setterberg lived through this period, he did considerable research in preparation for the book.
"I went back and read a lot of books abut the period, including what happened in the 1930s through World War II and the beginning of suburbia," he said.
Though now deceased, Setterberg interviewed both his parents for the book and based the character of Franklin, the father in the story, on his own dad, whose four-year stay in a sanatorium with tuberculosis gave him the opportunity to read.
"Twenty years later the way he lived through reading was passed down to me," Setterberg said. "It made me a reader and eventually a writer."
After months of research the author realized that there were no hidden treasures and the story was within his own mind.
"A time comes to cut off the research and just sit with what you feel and imagine," Setterberg said. "My task was to go into my own experience and feeling, and that's the harder job."
The catchy title came from Setterberg's wife, Ann Van Steenberg, and symbolizes the sense that the working class was now part of a world unimaginable to them in their previous lives, but it was a paradise where work was necessary. Setterberg urges readers to recognize that, in truth, there is no paradise. "There's a snake in every garden, and there's one here, too," he said. "You have to read the book to find out what it is."
Released in November, "Lunch Bucket Paradise" has garnered many positive reviews, and Setterberg is pleased with the response.
"I hope readers will have an authentic experience of a working-class town with individuals who are familiar and ordinary, extraordinary in their ordinariness," he said. "That readers feel that these are lives that they knew themselves."
Setterberg's experience with writing fiction has him ready to repeat the process. "It's made me want to write more books like this," he said. "I really, really enjoyed it."
"Lunch Bucket Paradise" is available from Heyday for $15.95.
Fred Setterberg will read from "Lunch Bucket Paradise" at 2 p.m. April 28 at the Dimond Branch Library, 3565 Fruitvale Ave. in Oakland and at 6:30 p.m. May 16 at the Alameda Public Library, 1550 Oak St. in Alameda.

Posts Tagged 'Chrysler Sebring Convertible Top Replacement'
At first glance, the Chrysler Sebring may seem to be a thoroughly middle-of-the-road car. People get excited about the flashy convertibles, the Mazda Miatas and Ford Mustangs. But a surprising number of Sebrings have been sold over the years.
What's the Sebring's secret? Put simply, a lot of people want a convertible, but they don't necessarily want to pay top dollar for a sports car like the Mustang or a BMW convertible. The Sebring is a convertible for the rest of us, so to speak.
This is no doubt why the producers of The Office chose it as the favorite car of everyman Michael Scott. (When Michael was being wooed back into the fold, one of the few demands he made of Dunder Mifflin was that they provide him with a Sebring convertible to replace the one he had traded in the season before.)
As a sensible, reliable car, we sell a lot of replacement convertible tops. After all, keeping the car that you already own can save you over $30,000 over the course of your lifetime, versus trading it in for a newer model! It makes economic sense to replace your convertible's top, if the top is showing wear and tear from years of service.
If you need a new Sebring convertible top, check out our selections today! Got a question? Just ask!
The original Chrysler Sebring was introduced in 1995 as a new midsize coupe in Chrysler's line-up. The convertible and the standard Sebrings were only distantly related – the standard Sebring was closely related to the Mitsubishi Galant, whereas the convertible launched in 1996, and was built on Chrysler's own platform. To quote, Edmunds, the Chrysler Sebring convertible "brought class, dignity and a bit of luxury to this otherwise whimsical segment."
The second generation Chrysler Sebring was produced from 2001-2006, and again used separate platforms for each body style. The second generation convertible Sebring was redesigned, and shared most of its sheet metal with the sedan.
The third generation of Chrysler Sebrings was launched in 2007. Initially, Chrysler did not produce a convertible Sebring during these years, instead carrying forward the 2006 Sebring convertible through 2008. The 2008 convertible was for the first time available in an optional hardtop, in addition to the standard cloth and vinyl tops which had been offered since the early years.
We offer replacement convertible soft tops for all three generations of Chrysler Sebrings: 1996-2000 (which came with a two-piece style top, meaning that you can buy a top and window, or just buy only the top or only the window as needed), 2001-2006 (ditto), and 2007-2010 (in this model, the glass window stays on the car and attaches to the new convertible top).

Ice Fastpicth has 3 openings in our defensive clinic with Howard Kobata on Monday, November 12 for 13U and 14Us.
The clinic will be held indoors in the Alsip area from 5 PM to 7 PM. Fee is $50 cash at the door. Email Rich Morford at email@example.com.
Howard Kobata has broken fielding and throwing down in a way that nobody else does. My daughter had the good fortune to attend one of his clinics four years ago at Elgin, and it really improved her footwork and understanding of how to catch and throw efficiently. If you have kid that appreciates technique Howard will open your eyes to a different way of thinking about the mechanics and footwork of defense. And if you are a coach, he has some fantastic drills, so pay attention.
The biggest problem is that you will learn so much it kind of reaches a point of overload. And don't be afraid to question his technique or suggest what you think is a better way. He can show you why you are wrong in a simple and clear way and not embarass you either.
Skip the high school and college clinics and listen closely to Howard. If you absorb 1/3rd of what he says and practice it, you will be a better player.

What does it mean for data to "be vertical"? A 3D point has no
direction, so it can't be vertical by itself.

How would I go about constructing a lean to side and front onto my existing 24'x24' vinyl covered building?
The building has a concrete floor and one row of block, then the 8ft. walls. It also has an upstairs with a roof pitch of 10-12 with shingles on top. I want to build a lean to storage section on one side, close it in and put vinyl siding to match existing. I also want to turn and continue the lean to across the front of my building to add sort of a front patio area. Does anyone have any advice as to how I should get started and tie the lean to into my existing building?

Treatment Options
If you have been diagnosed with endometrial cancer, you should know that this is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs among American women. It can often be cured, especially when diagnosed early.
If you have been referred to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) for treatment, here are some of the treatment choices you may be offered. Remember, each woman's cancer is different, as are her circumstances, preferences, and beliefs. A treatment that works well for another woman may not be right for you. Your team will explain your options and recommend a treatment plan that's tailored for you.
The first treatment that most women have for endometrial cancer is surgery to remove their uterus and usually their fallopian tubes, ovaries, and lymph nodes in the area.
Radiation Therapy
After surgery, your doctor may recommend that you have radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy may be used to treat endometrial cancer that has spread or that has come back after treatment.
Hormonal Therapy
Like chemotherapy, hormonal therapy is a systemic therapy, one that circulates through the bloodstream to attack cancer cells throughout the body.
Your team at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance offers long-term follow-up care for you as long as you choose after your treatment for endometrial cancer.
