Southwestern Canoe Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
The oldest recovered canoe was from The Netherlands and dates between 8200 and 7600BC. It is on display in Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands. Canoes are used for recreation at many camp sites and for river crossings because of their light weight. You are going to love this personalized canoe ornament that can be a keepsake for a memorable boy scout camping trip, cub scout outing on the lake or a couples canoe trip down the river. There is enough room on this personalized boat ornament for two lines of text so that you can have names as well as a camping destination. Makes a great addition for a wildlife or wilderness themed Christmas tree for your favorite outdoorsman!
Material: Resin
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

12/24/2014 - "I was not supposed to receive my ornament until after Christmas. I did send an email telling you the ornament was for my 82 year old mom. I had to wait to place this order late because she was having so many health issues, including surgery. A response was sent telling me you would do everything possible for it to arrive before Christmas. Today, Dec. 23rd, 2014 the ornament arrived in the mail! I cannot thank everyone enough for trying so hard just for one customer. My mom will think this is the greatest gift she's ever received and I can not thank you enough. Merry Christmas to all who work at this wonderful, caring company. Susan H."

8/25/2014 - "I have purchased ornaments from Ornament Shop.com for 4 or 5 years. I have 6 grandchildren ranging in ages from 11 - 25 and have been purchasing Christmas ornaments since they were born. I look for ornaments that have something to do with their interests, or where they are in their lives at this particular time. i.e., college freshman,(college boy) aspiring music teacher (guitar), lover of horses (brown horse w/saddle), coach (lacrosse equipment), golfer/caddy(golf green) and stylish lady (lovely high heels). I find the selections fantastic and better every year. I especially like the personalization that I have been able to place on each ornament. I hope my grand kids place these ornaments on their own Christmas trees someday and know each will bring back fond memories. Ann F."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iRecycle®, powered by Earth911, an Infinity Resources Holdings company (YCNG - OBB), launched its latest upgrade just in time to help consumers have a greener holiday by preparing to properly dispose of obsolete consumer items and unwanted holiday leftovers -- including the Christmas tree.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121212/NE28643 )
With nearly half a million downloads, iRecycle is already the premiere application for local disposal information. Earth911's mobile application is based on Earth911's one-of-a-kind recycling directory, with over 1.5 million local recycling and proper disposal opportunities for 350 different materials in every U.S. ZIP code. Users input a ZIP code, address, city or their current location and a material to find the most convenient solution for disposal.
"iRecycle is a great example of how Earth911 is moving recycling forward. With nearly half a million downloads already, we're headed for an even more explosive release with this new version," said Corey Lambrecht, President of Earth911. "We're leading the charge to get consumer products recycled by using our data - the best single resource available to make this a reality."
The new version of iRecycle features:
- iRecycle iOS v2.5.1 - optimized for iPhone 5, Retina iPad, and iOS 6
- iRecycle Android v1.5 - optimized for Android devices. Support for many screen resolutions, including tablets
- iRecycle now has a single focus: finding recycling centers
- Vibrant color display to help distinguish categories
- Social sharing of recycling listings is even easier with Facebook, Twitter, SMS or email
"If there's one simple way of finding out where you're going to dump all of your recyclable materials in the United States, it's the iRecycle app," said reviewer Chris Burns, head editor of SlashGear, noting its "amazingly simple-to-use interface."
"Knowing what to recycle and where to recycle it can be a challenge but the iRecycle app makes it easy and intuitive," said Marci VerBrugge-Rhind, spokesperson for Sprint. "We're excited to see that Earth911 continues to refine this utility and provides an even better experience for our customers who are looking for recycling information on their wireless device, especially our customers who are using the Sprint Green ID Pack that enables several apps for greener living like iRecycle."
For responsible disposal of waste generated by holiday celebrations, consumers can find ways to reuse or recycle holiday decor through iRecycle, or visit Earth911.com to read holiday-themed content with unique ideas for achieving a zero-waste holiday. And once the holidays are over, Earth911's Treecycle program will direct consumers to the most convenient disposal options for their Christmas trees when the season ends.
iRecycle can be customized for brands and companies looking to promote recycling and responsible waste disposal for their products. For more information on how Earth911 helps consumers and businesses achieve their zero-waste initiatives, visit http://business.earth911.com.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Big Show
One woman, one thousand works of art. Its hard to say what my strategy will be, says Laura Fried, this years juror for The Big Show at Lawndale Art Center. Last year, more than 400 local artists delivered 1,014 works, in person, to be considered for the annual exhibition. Fried, who will make her first trip to Houston to jury the show, is the Assistant Curator at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and has headed up many locals-only exhibitions there.
Although she doesnt know exactly what to expect here, Fried says the works selected will be the ones that can hold their own among so many others. (Last years show featured almost 100 paintings, sculptures, mixed-media, video and photography pieces.) [Its important to] maintain a focus on the work, the ideas in the work, the execution and the different practices I see, says Fried, and not to be skewed by any idea that a show could be curated based around an idea of Texas art, by the idea of regionalism. See her selections at todays opening reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Regular viewing hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Through August 8. 4912 Main. For information, call 713-528-5858 or visit www.lawndaleartcenter.org. Free.
Mondays-Saturdays. Starts: July 10. Continues through Aug. 8, 2009

Women of substance at Paris fashion week
A triumvirate of designers shone in Paris last week – and these ladies all had very different ideas. Susannah Frankel reports from the front row
Susannah Frankel
Susannah Frankel is Fashion Editor at The Independent.
Monday 10 October 2011
The women whose designs appear on these pages would no doubt balk at being grouped together on account of their gender, or indeed at all.
However, their clarity of viewpoint is an inspiration to members of the fairer sex across the globe and that applies to everything from the creation of clothes to the controlling of the image of the companies they preside over more broadly. In particular, for spring/summer 2012, their entirely diverse talents were remarkable.
To take it from the top, Rei Kawakubo's collection for Comme des Garçons was probably her strongest and most profoundly moving for years. Kawakubo is the single most influential fashion designer – male or female – of the past 30 years. Since she arrived on the scene in Paris in 1981, when her anarchic spircaused fashion editors to run tearful from her shows, she has given the world deconstruction, deliberately aged fabrics – boiled, faded and frayed around the edges – an oversized silhouette and more. Kawakubo overthrew – and continues to overthrow – any notion of status in designer clothing. We even have this designer to thank for the (non-) colour black in the fashionable wardrobe which is now ubiquitous to the point that it has become clichéd.
Conversely, the godmother of the avant-garde worked this time around entirely in white. Media-shy to the point of reclusive, all Kawakubo had to say of her extraordinary presentation was "white drama". Later in the showroom that was elaborated upon, at least to a certain extent, by her husband and business partner, Adrian Joffe, who said his wife had been thinking of "everything that makes you happy and sad in life". Kawakubo was trying to express all of life's big events and the sentiments they evoked including, in particular, marriage and the potential restraints that go with it through white clothing. An ambitious concept to say the very least.
And so models' arms were tied at the front with soft, oversized bows, their torsos and legs were enclosed in silk-covered cages, crinolines were worn over dresses and trousers and more dresses sprouted overblown skirts from in front or behind. Sleeves, meanwhile, were so long they grazed models' ankles. Crochet-knit jackets brought christening blankets to mind, while cocoons of silk encasing bodies and then even heads whispered of the shadow of death.
Perhaps inevitably, at least some onlookers concluded that Kawakubo was reacting to the earthquake in her native Japan – she lives and works in Tokyo travelling to Paris for a few days only four times a year for her shows – but she was quick to assert that was absolutely not the case. Whatever, the play here between nihilism and optimism and innocence and experience made for a visual and emotional tour de force that was magnificent even by a designer of such elevated stature's standards.
Phoebe Philo is still a fledgling talent comparatively, although she was responsible for the spectacular success of Chloé in the Noughties and is now working her magic at Céline. Although she demonstrates very different concerns both women, interestingly, share a reticence to speak about their personal lives. Passionately private, the point of it all is the work and their designs should speak for themselves, their thinking goes.
In the two and a half years since Philo has been creative director at Céline her aesthetic has certainly spoken to women of style and, it has to be said, considerable means the world over. The "cabas" and "luggage" bags, the Céline tunic, white shirt, crepe jumpsuit and perfect cocoon coat are all part of the label's vocabulary by now and have earned Philo a following that would rival many of those who have been striving to achieve such a clear identity for far longer. The hype that has sprung up around this label is all the more noteworthy given its understatement. Céline is subtle, about wardrobe over and above seasonal stand-out pieces, and to all but the initiated far from immediately identifiable.
While the Céline classics were all present and correct at Philo's show last week there was a jump forward in silhouette. There are very few designers working today who have the ability to develop new proportions. Here, though, jackets were high-waisted and kicked from the empire line down and were worn with skirts and trousers cut low on the hip. Shoes were high, even by catwalk standards, only adding to the impression of tallness in the clothes. Like Kawakubo, Philo works against the traditional hourglass silhouette, preferring her clothes to be moulded around the body and for there to be a space between garment and wearer. The distinct feeling here is that tight clothes are too obvious somehow. In the past there has been a severity to the Céline look. This time, however, softness was evoked by the veiling of white trousers in black chiffon or the concertina pleating of a strict white shirt when seen from behind.
As the final day of the Paris collections dawned, a friend and colleague wondered: "How long do you think it will be before we're all bored of sweetly romantic clothes?" If the Miu Miu show was anything to go by, Miuccia Prada's over it already. This may seem just a tad contrary given that her collection for Prada, shown in Milan not much more than a week before, showcased just the pastel colours and ultra-feminine silhouette that more than a few designers in Paris have since upheld as the last word in summer chic. And that, perhaps, is the key to the blinding success of Italian fashion's first lady. She has an extremely short attention span, jumping from one idea to another at breakneck speed, forcing the rest of the world to struggle to keep up with her quick and elegant mind only if they dare. Prada, who with her husband and CEO Patrizio Bertelli, has recently floated her company on the Hong Kong stock exchange and is believed to be among the highest earning people in contemporary fashion, has made a small fortune out of such thinking.
With this in mind, belle laide was the story at Miu Miu where many of the staples of the classic bourgeois and/or haute couture wardrobe that have proved de rigueur in New York, London, Milan and, finally, Paris were subtly subverted to typically mischievous effect. Lace – the fabric of the spring/summer season – here came stiffened and in the type of unlikely hues this name is famous for, not least burgundy and beige. Velvet bows were scaled up and tied capes no longer than a matador jacket and designed to be worn off the shoulder. The bell-shaped skirt that has cropped up here, there and everywhere, looked considerably more fierce with an exaggerated high waist and in a palette of navy, black and grey. Matchy matchy? Miuccia Prada doesn't do matchy matchy. Instead the disparity between a lace dress, a patchwork cotton cape, a velvet bow, brass-finished dolly bags in myriad fabrics and colours and shoes and boots inlaid with roses and with witchy pointed toes was exaggerated almost to the point of madness. As for the hair and make-up... Gashes of blood-red eye shadow and hair plastered to the head with a centre parting that was often slightly skew centre-parting made even the most beautiful models appear far from conventionally pretty. It looked brilliant and you could almost hear the designer laughing to herself backstage.

High-Heel Homicide
One morning in June of last year, Houston defense attorney Jack Carroll arrived preoccupied at Harris County's 338th District Criminal Court. He had never appeared before the court's presiding judge, Brock Thomas, and he needed to ask for a continuance. As he waited for his client to be brought in, he ignored the disheveled woman in jail orange waving frantically at him, trying to get his attention.
The woman was Ana Lilia Trujillo, who was on her way to becoming the most notorious accused murderer Houston had produced in years. She'd been arrested for killing her boyfriend, Alf Stefan Andersson, less than 24 hours earlier, and already it was nationwide news.
If she had stabbed Andersson with a steak knife, it would have been unremarkable, a commonplace if terrible act of domestic violence. But instead she had stabbed him with her five-and-a-half-inch stiletto heel. The legal sharks of Houston's criminal defense corps, who like nothing better than the kind of attention the case was receiving, sent emissaries to tout their skills to Trujillo.
