Before an article of jewelry is created, design ideas are rendered followed by detailed technical drawings generated by a jewellery designer , an expert who's educated in the architectural and practical knowledge of materials, fabrication strategies, composition, wearability and market tendencies. You'll be able to promote your designs to manufacturing companies or design and make your own jewelry on the market by craft retailers, galleries and on-line retailers. Most jewelry designers are both self-employed – establishing their own workshop or studio, or freelance – working with individual makers or trend and jewellery designers. This technology takes the design process one step beyond a hand sketch to a render that's a hundred% dimensionally correct.
At The Village Goldsmith, we use a mixture of the most recent technologies and traditional craftsmanship to deliver your bespoke jewelry design to life. Immerse yourself on the earth of gems and jewelry and earn your Jewellery Design certificates by learning at a GIA campus.

I hope you are having a wonderful time with friends, family and your significant loved ones. The hubby and I ended up just staying in for the night, stay warm and just relaxed. We did go to the grocery store to pick up a few things to pig out on tonight, but other than that we just chilled relaxed, and then a hour before midnight I watched a country concert on TV and then watched the ball drop and kissed my husband for the first time this year.
Now I'm just relaxing some more, playing game on my phone called pocket frogs it's a pretty cool game. Fun, and since I love frogs it's a perfect game for me. If you have a phone you can play games on, definitely go and check this game out!
Like I said earlier, I hope everyone had a wonderful night. Stay safe, have fun and stay warm!
Night everyone! :)
Happy New Years!

Kemer Golf Resort Hotel
Kemer Golf and Country Club is a country retreat situated 25 km from Istanbul in the heart of the Belgrade Forest. The Country Club was originally founded in 1995 to provide its members with a getaway from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. While the main attraction for the club has always been the golf course, there are also facilities for horse riding, tennis and other sports as well as a spa and fitness centre. Autoban has seamlessly integrated the new hotel into the existing club facilities by transforming the site of the former clubhouse into the 35-room luxury boutique hotel.
The hotel is situated in a beautiful natural setting, while being in close proximity to Istanbul. Autoban's design concept conveys a sense of secluded relaxation while also keeping guests connected to their urban lifestyle.
With the Kemer Golf Resort Hotel, the oversized rooms each boast interiors more akin to a home than a hotel in terms of comfort and functionality. The interiors fuse natural materials and rich textures with exceptional craftsmanship. As with all of the studio's interior projects, the hotel room design is based around a layered interior shell. This time overlapping surfaces covered with custom-designed wallpaper, marble and wood, form a richly layered surface that give the space a domestic feel.
Republika Academic Aparts
Bearing the slogan 'Comfortable as a hotel, warm as a home', Republika is a new concept in student accommodation with three branches located in different parts of Istanbul. Designed by Autoban, the residencies lever up the standards of student housing with thoughtfully planned habitable units that provide utmost comfort within compact spaces, as well as the carefully organised relationship of private and public areas.
In the first two branches in Ortaköy and Büyükçekmece, the converted properties boast around 230 rooms and 650 beds each, whereas the purpose-built (also by Autoban) Florya branch accommodates 83 rooms with 188 beds.
Since economy and efficiency are the prime goals, all three projects address the challenge of creating pleasurable living environments with cost-effective and durable materials, and coming up with perfect architectural solutions that make the most of daylight, height and space.
In creating the design concept for Republika, Autoban followed the principles of modernist architecture, designing a repetitive module of simple geometric forms that inscribe across the architecture. The series of modules are made to fit in the existing architectural shell of the first two branches, while the individual module forms the basis of the architecture and their repetitive assembly makes up the entire building in the more recent Florya branch.
Witt Istanbul Suites
Starting with its sandstone façade, Witt Istanbul Suites showcases the careful transformation of an old Istanbul apartment into a contemporary boutique hotel. The location has significant history while being at the center of one of city's most lively neighborhoods, a fact which has set the tone of voice of Autoban's narrative approach in designing the hotel.
The exterior façade is inspired by the Tophane-i Amire Building at the end of the same street, and the tall windows as well as the French balconies reflect the architectural style of the Italian Hospital across the street.
The 17 loft-like rooms boast walls covered in mirror tiles and layers of wood and steel panels with laser-cut motifs. Opting for the guests to feel like they've just stepped into their dream apartment, the studio kitted out each one of the relatively large suites with kitchen-bar units, bathrooms in traditional gray Marmara marble and freestanding furniture to evoke the sense of a home.
The House Hotel Galatasaray
Situated in a 19th-century building named 'Zenovitch' in Galatasaray, The House Hotel Galatasaray marks one of Autoban's long time collaborators, The House Cafés, first foray into hotel operations.
In designing the interiors of the hotel, Autoban imagined a fictional old Istanbul family living in this four-storied townhouse, and thereby retained many of its original features including the stairs, handrails and hall doors, to recover and broadcast the spirit of the area's past while inserting today's textures and forms.
On each floor, the bedrooms are reached by long corridors, where the designers installed hexagonally perforated ceiling panels that add bold geometry to the otherwise neutral environments, while also concealing the light fixtures. The room numbers mounted on a rod at a distance from the corridor walls are equipped with their own light source, casting a looming shadow of the number against the white surface.
The House Hotel Bosphorus
Occupying the historical Simon Kalfa building, which is a listed Grade A wooden waterside mansion named after its architect who helped to build many Ottoman palaces and mosques back in the 19th century, The House Hotel Bosphorus is a unique boutique hotel boasting 23 suites over 6 floors.
Inside the 1,070 sqm hotel with spectacular views over the Bosphorus, Autoban creates comfortable and contemporary interiors while keeping the building's historical architectural elements, such as doors and window frames, intact. Original moldings and detailing are now offset with the play of circular forms and 3D geometrical patterns, which, as decorative patterns, are scattered through the interiors and as trompe l'oeil marquetry on floors (such as the cube-shaped wooden tiles peeling up from the foyer floor to form the reception desk).
The House Hotel Nişantaşı
The second edition of The House Hotel occupies a central location in the city's toniest shopping and residential district, Nişantaşı, offering a modern guest experience and pit stop of contemporary design in the heart of Istanbul.
Set in a 2,200 sqm relatively new building, the hotel accommodates 45 rooms of five types over six floors with a library on the first floor. Lobby, restaurant, meeting room, and the bar are also located on this floor overlooking the busy shopping street below.
Each of the 45 rooms as well as the shared areas are wallpapered by a layered interior shell made of oak panels. The rooms feature a bar, a wine rack, and an exposed bathroom with floor-to-ceiling glass that can be shuttered with Venetian blinds, if desired. The bathrooms are clad with black-veined white Carrera marble on both floors and walls, bordered with beige Bursa marble.

Friday was another blustery day with gale force winds and some intermittent showers. It continued mild for late January.
We had a nice mid morning rainbow but I couldn't find a spot in the garden where the full rainbow was visible. Then we had our final delivery from Kings seeds. This time it was a couple of sacks of seed potatoes.
They're not all for us I hasten to add a few are for other plot holders as we have ordered through the Kings Allotment Holders Scheme. I'm guessing I'll have to get them set out in trays to chit in the greenhouse over the next few days. It's a matter of keeping them cool so that they don't start growing too quickly producing long thin straggly shoots. They won't be planted for a couple of months. We don't normally start planting our potatoes until the beginning of April.
We had a quick visit to a garden centre on Wednesday afternoon and apparently I bought another hellebore, Spring Promise, to add to our ever growing collection.
Whoever decided on the purchase I think it was a pretty good choice.

Area Rugs 101
You have a lot of options when it comes to choosing the right area rug for your space, which can be overwhelming. This buyer's guide will walk you through the basics of area rug use and design to help you make the best choice.
Uses for Area Rugs
There is a lot of potential for what an area rug can accomplish in a space.
One key application of a rug is to define a space, such as a seating area, by creating boundaries and edges. Rugs guide peoples' eyes to certain areas and they can guide foot traffic through a space as well.
If you have a long hall or entryway, consider a runner to fill the space and make it more warm and inviting. An area rug creates a soft, warm and forgiving surface to walk, sit and play.
Area rugs can also stylishly cover any unsightly blemishes on your existing flooring.
Size & Shape
To determine what size and shape you need your rug to be, start by looking at your space and the needs you're trying to meet. Be sure to measure the space you're trying to fill before selecting a size and shape.
Area rugs come in both standard and non-standard sizes, and can be rectangular, circular, square, oval, or long and narrow. Circular or round rugs are sold by the diameter, which is the distance from the center of your space to the edge (called the radius) multiplied by two.
Color & Design
One thing to remember when choosing a rug is that it doesn't have to precisely match the other colors in your room. Modern interior design often utilizes contrasting color combinations or colors that complement the primary color scheme of a room.
A good rule of thumb, however, is to use no more than two additional colors in conjunction with your primary color.

Khanh - (1957-1975)
Republic of Vietnam (1955-1975) adopted and awarded the Kim Khanh during
the 18 of its 20-year period of its existence. It was bestowed in four
classes (exceptional, 1st, 2nd and 3rd). Its design was noticeably different
than that of its predecessor with the Chinese calligraphy replaced by
scholar's scrolls. This was just one of a plethora of medals adopted and
awarded by the Republic of Vietnam.

I woke up this morning just in time to hear my wife start her car as she headed off to work. I had slept in a bit longer than intended, but I guess I needed it, because I woke up more refreshed, energized, and excited about whatever great things God had in store for me today than I had in weeks. As I showered and got dressed, I made a mental list: There are a couple of clients I need to tend to. Business has been slow, so I really should follow up on some folks I haven't heard from in a while. Those notes I promised my class I'd have on my Bible study blog really needs to be done today. And I gotta leave some time to read another chapter or two in that book about Calvin. This is going to be a good day! And it'll start with a big mug of coffee! As I headed downstairs to start the brew, I grabbed my phone and opened my email. Halfway down, I saw the newest one: "Your overdraft protection has been activated."
WHAT? I knew I was operating close to the line, but I was sure that there were at least a few bucks left in there. Once the coffee was started, I trotted back up to my laptop so I could get a better look. OK. There were a couple of purchases from Target from early last week. (I love that 5% discount I get with my Red Card, but – seriously – do they really have to take a week to clear?) And then those few small purchases I was expecting. But still, there was enough left. Then I looked closer and found the culprit. The last debit, the one that put me over the line, was my automatic payment to Zoe International for Tui, the little girl we help to support.
In the next 60 seconds, I went through the stages of grief. Denial: "This can't be right!" Anger: "Who can I blame?" Bargaining: "If I agree to take the blame, can we make sure this doesn't happen again?" Depression: "Face it. It will happen again. You're just an idiot. Your coffee's ready." By the time I got to my waiting pot, I was getting close to acceptance when the thought popped into my head: "You know, that's just part of having kids. The other ones always cost you money you weren't planning on. She's just like your other children."
She's just like … my … other … children. We've been supporting Tui for – what – over 2 years now? And this is the first time that thought entered my mind. Just like my other children. But what I do for her is so little – just a few bucks a month, automatically deducted from my checking account. Oh, and her picture hangs on my fridge. And ten months ago, I actually got to meet her and spend a little time with her. That was really special, but is it really enough that I should think of her as one of my kids?
Cherie and I have sponsored numerous children over the past 35 years, and we've been happy to do our little part. But I can't say that I ever really thought of any of them as part of my family. Oh, there were some that we sponsored for a number of years, and I do remember them fondly and wonder where they are and how they're doing today. But did I ever hear that little voice say, "She's one of your kids. She's part of your family"? I don't think so. To my loss, I guess.
Child sponsorship can be a wonderful thing. You get pictures of your child to hang on your fridge, and you get periodic updates. You hear about the things she likes, and you learn of the things she needs and the ways you are helping to meet these needs. You help make sure that she is getting enough to eat, she's going to school, and that she's learning about Jesus. You write letters to her, and sometimes you get letters from her. In short, you get to change a kid's life – all from the comfort of your living room, and at very little cost to you.
OK. That last part sounded a little crass, but here's the point. It's what I learned this morning: Child sponsorship is an opportunity for great joy, and it's also an opportunity to become neglectful. When God hands these little ones to us and says, "Here – you get to take care of her," it's really, really easy to think that if we set up automatic payments and stick her photograph in a place where we'll see it from time to time, we have fulfilled our duty. And when He goes so far as to send us half way around the world to meet her, we can keep our guard up so much that the most we come away with is, "She's really a cute and complex kid. It was fun meeting her," and even then not let our heart become affected too much.
Sponsoring a child does bring with it some duty, but it's more than payments and pictures and an occasional prayer. It is the greatest and most joyful duty given to us as followers of Jesus: It's the duty to open our hearts and let them in, love them and let them become part of our family. And when we meet them, to let down our guard enough that coming back home without them breaks our hearts. When that happens, she becomes part of our daily routine: We think of her, pray for her and recognize our wonderful responsibility to care for her. And when we do, that auto-payment we set up won't sneak up on us.
But something else might, like maybe a little tear. Because, after all, this little runt who just overdrafted my checking account and generated an additional service charge – yeah – she is my kid. And I love her, and I miss her, and wish I could give her a big hug. And I'm glad she cost me a few extra bucks today, because maybe now I'll remember to think of her, pray for her, care about her and miss her a little more often. Just like my other children.

Carrie, eighteen, adores her older brother Kevin but suspects he would never be interested in a romantic relationship with her. So she brings over girlfriends whom he might become interested in to relieve his loneliness.
But little does Carrie know that the reason why Kevin continually rejects their advances is due to his true desire for her. The sex stories he fantasizes about, centered around Carrie as he writes them, is the only companionship he knows. After they are finished he ties them to rocks and tosses them into the pond out back to ensure his secret remains undiscovered.
When Carrie finds the spiral binder in the garbage Kevin's secret is slowly revealed. What follows is a roller-coaster of passionate sex, drama, and emotion as close friends of theirs, another brother and sister about their same age, are also caught up in the out-of-control whirlwind of forbidden love.

The Red Cow, Hawaian Sky
The chickens are starting to lay again and the birds of song are getting fired up, sure signs of spring. It has been a long cold winter here in Tucson. Highs are still only in the 60's and 70's. Pretty chilly I know. I run the heater in the studio in the mornings and re-heat my tea several times before noon. It is only then that I venture out to check on the birds and make sure the truck starts. I hear it's not good for the motor to run when it's too cold.
25 year anniversary trip to Hawaii being contemplated. We have friends there that take some pretty cool pictures...inspiring this large 24x24 skyscape.

A Woman's Heart Part Five: Helping Hands
I have worked on many projects, and not a few happened to be with all men. See, I am good at building things. I love to look at a house and start from the ground up. I obsess over woodworking and designing beautiful creations that take labor and time to perfect. As you can imagine, my crowd that I help with on these projects rarely, if ever, consists of enthusiastic and, much less, knowledgeable women. I used to find myself offended when a man offered to handle the power tools instead of me or when the men took the saws away from me to finish the job.
All I ever got stuck doing was painting it seemed (and just an fyi, I hate painting – talk about dull). Needless to say, my frustration lead to me pushing them aside and insisting that I was apt enough to do the job, thank you very much. But, I started watching the guys as I did this. They were lost.
Thus, I adopted a new philosophy: ask how I can help rather than demand how I can help. The guys never seem to have a problem with me using the saws or the drills or doing something dangerous with the knife (*grins* --- me and knives are deadly), but they wanted to take the lead because they felt comfortable doing that. It was their way of saying "I love what you are doing, but I want to help you here."
Men take a huge risk with women. They go against their very nature that fears failure to put their necks out for us. And what do we do? We join the feminist movement and take their careers away from them. Or we submit to them and let them lead wherever they want (which doesn't help them either).
Yet, that was not what we were designed for. Women have such a high calling for their lives that no amount of money can compensate for the loss when women abandon their post. We are the helping hands. We are the right hands of men.
A good man seeks woman for advice. Seriously. Women are made to be critiquers and supporters. Your words as a wife or even simply as a friend resonate louder than most men will ever admit. We were gifted with the unique insight that it takes to stand at the side of leaders and be their comforting advice, encouragement, and strength.
No man on this earth could do what woman does. They were not designed for this purpose. They were designed to lead and we were designed to support.
This design is not only intentional, but brilliant. A leader fails miserably without their right hands. The support feels undue pressure and eventually breaks down without a strong bearing in their path. Neither of the positions are lesser or greater, but they each need each other so much so that if one fails, the other fails.
Many women hold the Biblical position to be that of slavery. They see it as a demand to remain in the kitchen and be under a man's leadership 24/7. Taking care of children and running the household is their only foreseeable future. (And this position stereotyped as the only Biblical position is not quite the ideal representation of being the supportive by the way.)
Yet, statistics show that when women choose a career field outside of the home, they choose one where they can help. They don't choose one to lead others or to be prideful in their accomplishments. They choose a position to be the helping hands.
That's what we are. It is not a job title that confines us to the home or to the career field. It is a passion and a calling that pushes our hearts into a place God designed them to go.
You remember the guys I build things with? Well, guess what? I use the power tools and saws just the same as them but in a different way. They like to finish the job; I like to start it. I like to guide the job, fix the spots that are broken and get it to perfection. The projects not only get done faster, but they get done with a joy and an appreciation that is often lost.
They respect my knowledge, seek my advice, and allow my hands to create the perfect details. But, in the end, I can see that they want to take the pride in these projects and feel like they led and accomplished them.
And you know what? That is fine by me. I want to know I mattered. I want to know I made a difference. I want to know that I was there to help and to lend what I could to the job. That is what I want and that blends so perfectly with what they want that is makes a team.
Just a side note though: if you think I am dropping the power tools or letting them carry everything or handle all the saws, you are dead wrong. Unfortunately, I happen to take a good deal of pride in my woodworking and all my hands on work too. The more rigorous life is, the better off I am.
Women and men are a team. I have offered you ladies a glimpse at God's beauty magnified in you, the reason you fear abandonment, the reason women suffer so much oppression, and the source of your strength.
But, in the end, it all leads to one thing: God designed you, inside and out, for a very specific purpose. He placed in your hearts passions, fears, callings, hopes, and joy so that you would always thirst for Him and always want to magnify Him in your life. You all have a unique way of going out this and have absolutely gorgeous hearts to prove it.
God not only adores you, but He needs you to desire Him. He truly does. Your love and your understanding of who you are to Him mean more than anything else. Women were chosen to have specific struggles to counter our natural sinful tendencies, and in those struggles, our only answers would be God and the comfort of His callings.
What we feel and experience and long for and fight for is good. If it wasn't a struggle, we wouldn't have rewards, we wouldn't have triumphs, we wouldn't know how good things really are.
My heart goes out to every woman out there. I wrote these posts because I believe these truths can touch your hearts, can give you just a look at what God has in store for you if you would just let Him into your hearts, ladies. It is so worth the journey.
Thank you all for reading. Blessings!

Great post Hannah! It is sad that the women of our culture have left their beautiful place of "helpmeet" for the false promise of independence. May our generation refuse to settle for the "liberation" our feministic ancestorers fought for--and instead embrace the biblical role of womanhood God calls us to!ReplyDelete
Hi Hannah! I found your blog mostly by accident, but I know it was God directing me to it! I really enjoyed this post. I look forward to reading the previous parts!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing what the Lord has been teaching you!
This was very inspirational to read. I'm a man, and I can certainly tell you that it's the women in my life who have hurt me AND helped me the most. Your article explains this phenomenon very well. You made excellent and true observations about how your male co-woodworkers respect and heed your advice and suggestions yet wish be the ones to get the job done in the end.ReplyDelete
Thanks for writing this. God bless.

Brighton, CO (Vocus) July 9, 2008
A clean home is a comfortable home, but there is nothing clean about mildew. Mildew growth is unsightly, can produce an unpleasant odor, and, if not addressed has the potential to pose health risks over time.
Most desire a clean home, but increased environmental awareness is also motivating many people to seek natural, non-toxic methods and products to keep things clean, green, and mildew free. Follow these simple and easy tips from Sashco Sealants to reduce or eliminate mildew growth in your home, naturally.
Get some air!
Allowing fresh air to ventilate the home is one of the fastest, easiest and least expensive ways to prevent excess humidity that creates conditions where mildew flourishes. Simply keeping the humidity of your home under 45% deters mildew growth significantly.
Make a trip to the kitchen
Many of the natural ingredients needed to help keep mildew growth at bay can be found in your kitchen cupboard. Try spraying one of these natural combinations directly on areas of mildew, do not rinse.
Tea tree oil: Combine 2-teaspoons of tea tree oil with 2-cups water in a spray bottle.
Grapefruit seed extract: Combine 20-drops of grapefruit seed extract (available in most health food stores) with 2-cups water in a spray bottle.
White vinegar: Straight white vinegar reportedly kills 82 percent of mold. Pour white distilled vinegar straight into a spray bottle, do not dilute.
Expert from Annie B. Bond, author of Home Enlightenment (Rodale, 2005).
Seal Surfaces Wisely
Reduce environmental impact by choosing an earth friendly sealant like MildewFree Sealant* to caulk, or reseal kitchens and bathrooms. MildewFree Sealant* has a low VOC (low volatile organic compound) content, cleans up with water without the use of toxic solvents, provides long durability for less waste, and contains no dangerous isocyanates that can cause dermatitis and asthma when touched or inhaled. ItÂs both user and environmentally safe. MildewFree Sealant* is available in 6 oz. squeeze tubes in both white and linen.

BW piece on how the VC scene is hotting up in Russia:
To encourage such investments, the Russian government has set up a trust that matches investments from private venture capitalists. Already, it has agreed to dispense nearly $100 million to three groups of investors. Among them: Asset Management, run by legendary Silicon Valley venture capitalist Franklin "Pitch" Johnson, which has secured $52 million in matching funds from the Russia government for a new investment vehicle called Bio-Process Capital Partners. The Russia-based fund will scope out investment opportunities in biotech.
Other experienced tech hands also are piling in. Roel Pieper, a seasoned industry executive now based in the Netherlands, has set up a new fund primarily targeting Russian opportunities, including hydrogen technologies and light jets. Alexander Galitsky, a well-known Russian entrepreneur-turned-investor is planning to launch a new Russia fund later this year, in partnership with unnamed Western venture capitalists. And in April, Boston-based OpenView Venture Partners teamed with Moscow-based ABRT Venture Fund to form a "partnership for Russia" investment program targeting information technology companies in Russia and Eastern Europe.
"This is just the beginning," says Joe Bowman, a U.S. venture capitalist working for Russian Technologies, a Moscow early-stage $50 million venture fund. "We're entering a new era for Russian venture capital."

Grand Island Fire Co.
On Friday, July 8, Grand Island Fire Co. marine unit personnel responded to a call for assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard for a "watercraft in distress." The incident occurred at 11:23 p.m. near Strawberry Island in the Niagara River.
GIFC Assistant Fire Chief Chris Soluri coordinated efforts to locate the vessel, which was found stranded in shallow shoals offshore because of a mechanical failure. Although one of the three Buffalo boaters was diabetic, he was not in need of emergency medical service treatment, according to GIFC paramedic Jon Cinelli.
The stranded boaters were then turned over to the USCG and GIFC MU-1 rescuers. The rescuers and Rural Metro returned to service on Saturday at 1:11 a.m.

This beautiful Victorian home that sits on Pineapple Avenue was once owned by William H. Gleason, former Lieutenant Governor of Florida. He was born in New York in 1829. He was interested in banking, law and politics and was a member of the Skull and Bones Society at Yale. In 1855 he moved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and opened a bank, then moved into sales during the Civil War.
There is a lot to see in this little historic community that sits along the edge of the Indian River. The area is one my favorite places for this is where my great grandfather, William Roesch, ventured to when he left Potosi, Wisconsin. Here he lived and became the first Mayor of this wonderful town. Gleason and my grandfather had more than a professional connection. (More about his life story another day)
It is important to note here that it was in 1969 that the City of Melbourne and Eau Gallie citizens voted for unification of their towns. So there is no longer an Eau Gallie; it is all Melbourne, The Harbour City. Here you will still find citizens that take pride in their community of Eau Gallie and will call it that until the day they die. Still today, everywhere you look, the name is still seen on signs, buildings and churches. The town is loved by all who know her or live there.

So I say,
Happy Birthday dear Dr. Seuss
You have won our hearts
and given us smiles.
A day with Joey is a day that makes me smile!
Oh..."But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. On and on you will hike. And I know you'll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are."
Kid, you'll move mountains!
Thank you (and Joey for this great celebration!)
Thanks Joey! I love Dr. Suess, one of my other favorites is One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. I could recite it by heart!
i am in a tree
with a bee
on my knee
reading thee...
{{ not really
you get the picture }}
One of the staff members gave me a copy of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" when I retired....made me cry! I am like that, I guess. I love the book and Joey!
Joey has excellent taste in books!
Love and smiles across the miles
Love Jeanne
Joey sure is a handsome fellow and with good taste in books.
You know, when I was a child, I did not like Dr. Suess. Can you imagine? Now, I adore him. Yes, happy happy birthday, dear Dr. Suess.

For a truly home-away-from-home experience and the ultimate in space and privacy Wholesale Jimmy Wynn Jersey , consider a vacation beach house rental during your next trip to the Caribbean or other beach locale as an alternative to booking a room at a crowded tourist hotel. Many hotels provide great accommodations, but nothing beats the spacious and quiet seclusion of a private villa or rental.
Whether seeking a romantic get-a-way or fun in the sun for the whole family, beach vacation rentals provide many options. Below are some factors to help you decide if a vacation beach house might be right for your next holiday.
Vacation Beach House Rental vs. Booking a Hotel Room
At a hotel... even a small one... you are sharing everything with lots of other people... strangers. More people equals more noise and commotion, which may not be as relaxing as you'd hoped. Often you have to set your alarm to get a palapa on the beach or that perfect pool lounger spot. Private vacation rentals often have their own beach and pool reserved for your use only.
True, hotels offer activities and services that you and your family may like, but many private rentals come with things like bicycles, snorkeling gear and games. Spa service will often come to your rental and certainly, you can still partake of all the local attractions.
Of course, it's nice to have a restaurant on the premise like most hotels. However, many people like to keep snacks and drinks in their own fridge, be able to cook some meals or even have a private chef cook for them.
Typically the biggest difference concerns personal space. Private rentals almost always offer more space, privacy, peace and quiet both inside the residence and its surrounding outdoor environment.
Types of Vacation Rentals
Once you decide a beach vacation rental is for you, you'll need to decide what type of property you want. In most tourist locations, you'll find three options: private homes, apartments or condos, and condotels. That last option refers to condos that have been built at hotels and include use of the hotel facilities.
Private homes will usually provide the most room and will cost the most Wholesale Andy Pettitte Jersey , but that can vary depending on location and the degree of luxury offered by the property.
The amenities offered with your vacation beach house rental will vary depending on the property owners. You can expect all to be fully furnished and most provide things like, plates, utensils, coffee makers, blenders, etc., along with maid service. Some properties have private beaches and pools. Some properties even have private maids and chefs and come with the use of a car.
How To Rent The Perfect Vacation Beach House
Start planning your Caribbean vacation by first searching for that perfect beach house rental. You can either go through a direct management firm, which handles multiple properties or through the individual owner.
Unless the individual has been renting the property for a long time, you'll have a more secure and professional experience if you work with a direct management company; however, many owners are very attentive and professional and can give you the most accurate details regarding the property.
Because these properties are booked up quickly, you'll need to schedule your reservations as far in advance as possible. Make sure to ask about the cancellation policy for the property in case something occurs that interferes with your travel plans.
To secure your reservation, you will normally be asked to make a deposit equal to half the rental rate via your credit card with the balance usually due at some point prior to your arrival date. Some properties require a damage deposit in addition to the rental rate that will be returned after you have vacated.
Turks & Caicos: A Great Beach House Destination
Located in the West Indies not far from the Bahamas, the Turks & Caicos Islands as a group are one of the least developed islands in the Caribbean. Providenciales has been discovered with recent growth, yet remains a wonderful vacation destination offering many vacation beach house rentals.
Turks and Caicos villa rentals can even be found on the more secluded sparsely populated islands where you'll find deserted white sand beaches with views of crystal clear turquoise water. That beautiful water is perfect for fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins.
Of course Wholesale Dallas Keuchel Jersey , the beaches are fabulous. Grace Bay on Provo is consistently rated as one of the ten best in the world and many other equally stunning beaches exist on surrounding islands. Hiking, biking, whale and bird-watching, especially the abundant flamingos, are popular activities.
If you're interested in renting a vacation beach house on the Turks & Caicos Islands, then be aware that the most popular season for travelers is between December and April with the Christmas holiday period representing the peak season.
The best time for beach house rental on the islands is from May to November when the costs are much lower. They range from $1,500 to $16,000 per week during the low season compared to $3,500 to $35,000 per week during the peak season.
Other Caribbean islands are similar, but will vary some. Certainly, there's a wide range of enticing options to choose from, but again... start planning now, book your vacation beach house rental early and get ready for a fun and relaxing get-a-way!

What Do People Not Understand About Clearing Snow Off Their Cars?
My drive to work today was a bit of a nail-biter. And no, it wasn't because of snowy or icy roads. It wasn't because of an accident, construction, or backed up traffic. It was because of the people who still don't understand the concept of clearing all of the snow off of their cars.

If you're not aware of the work of Freddie Wong, I'll sum it up for you: he makes video shorts with awesome special effects. Perhaps more importantly though, he's a massive geek and often uses games as his muse. Oh, and he has a wicked sense of humour, but his homages are never mocking, more gentle fun-poking and in-jokes. OK, so that summation wasn't that short, but then some of Freddie's video 'shorts' aren't that short either (see his Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Frozen Crossing pt. 1 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Frozen Crossing pt. 2 for evidence of that – they total over 16 minutes of action and gun play that wouldn't look out of place on a high-budget series like 24).
I'm more interested in his homage to 1995 arcade classic Time Crisis though, the on-rails light gun shooter that revolutionised the genre with its high-quality scripted action sequences and foot-pedal cover system. I'm not sure whether Freddie's latest creation has anything to do with the upcoming new Time Crisis title (Time Crisis: Razing Storm for PS3), but watch out for plenty of cute references to the original game (and to how we all used to play it): the players shooting off-screen to reload while in cover; agreeing to cover enemies on the left and right (but nobody covering the guy in the middle); the ridiculous hostages, and the better player getting annoyed with his comrade for not helping (highlighted by the old-school score sheet at the end); the unfair boss entry that results in someone getting killed and requiring another coin to re-join the game; and best of all, the way we all used to deal with the bosses – the old semi-automatic light gun finger trick, for when rapid-fire hits on a large target area, not accuracy and sharpshooting, are the order of the day. Kudos too goes to Freddie for getting a major star to be his P1, and it's great to see Andy Whitfield (star of Spartacus) looking fit and well after being diagnosed with cancer (that interrupted filming of the next series of Spartacus). Enjoy!

i had great designs on regular posting as i began residency and i was off to a good start. but i ended up taking a huge emotional blow in my second week and i had to withdraw into myself simply to get up and go to work. so i quit writing. i also quit reading and watching tv or really interacting. i survived by text message and meaningful looks. i also lost weight, though i think lacking appetite isn't the recommended method.
i am improving. every day is better. i am still hurting. i will hurt a little for a very very long time. but i have not been taken down by anything yet and if you know me, that IS saying something.
on the up and up...ER was a good rotation. a great way to start - a chance to remember my basic skills. thank goodness. now if people would just stop coming to the ER for non-emergent problems. and if the ER staff would learn that abdominal pain is not a catch all and certainly does not include pelvic pain. those are different.
i am glad i didn't choose ER as a career though. and i wonder about the FM trained docs who end up doing ER. what was so unsatisfying about FM - where the idea is to follow the pts forever - that you have to go all the way to ER where you don't follow pts even as far as the door.
now i am on to OB which would be great if i weren't suffering for the sins of those who came before. long story. lets just say i am walking uphill both ways in the snow. but i get to catch babies, so that's fun.

Baby Onesie card
I'm making some invitations to a baby shower for a friend and I was trying out some different things. Here's one of my creations.
I'm not really crazy about the colors, I think I'm going to try a white one with blue trim and see if that turns out better.
These cards are a lot easier to make than it looks. I used this tutorial by Lauren, but I changed the trim. Instead of using the scallop circle punch for the trim, I used the 1 3/4 inch circle punch. I just thought the scallop punch was a little too lacy for a baby boy's shower.
Do you have any good baby shower invitations??? PLEASE post a picture or a link so I can get some ideas. I'd love to see what you all have done.
Thanks for sharing!

I like your card and the colors! Great job! I love how you used the circle punch and not the scallop punch too!! Great idea!!!on December 31st, 2008 at 5:08 am

I have never stuck to a diet, an exercise regime, even a plan to wash my face every night before bed. This is the first time in my life, that I have actually made a commitment to a lifestyle change and stuck it out….
I work full-time Wednesday through Sunday which leaves my days off as Monday at Tuesday. Tuesday morning, me and my little bug (4-year-old daughter) went out on the town to celebrate the last day of 3-year-old preschool. We had a girls day, complete with manicures and pedicures.
After being out in the Houston heat all day (95 degrees!!), and still being about a 45 minute drive from home, we decided to stop by Barnes & Noble. Immediately, I was captivated by the smell of coffee, and if you remember from the beginning of my fast–there is nothing I love more than a grande white mocha with extra whipped cream, nothing I tell you!
Now, I know that I am fasting and at that point I had made it past 2 weeks without so much as cheating even a little bit. But, my daughter wasn't fasting….
"Hey baby bug, would you like to have a snack from the café?"
"Sure Mommy! Let's go!"
So off we went to the café. I was resolved. I was determined. I was not going to cheat even though I hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast and we were going on 2 o'clock.
Then she ordered a cupcake. Not just any cupcake either. A strawberry cupcake with cream cheese filling.
Oh. My. Heavens.
I ordered a nice bottle of Fiji water and then took a bite of that cupcake.
"Would you like to share with me Mommy?"
Who can say no to that?
I ate half a cup cake, right there in the Barnes & Noble café. Yes I did.
And it was not nearly as good as I had hoped. Afterwards, I was sad and I had a stomach ache. I felt like a failure. I felt like I had let myself and God down. I felt awful.
Which led me to this post. Everything that happened was a perfect example of the Christian struggle with sin:
- We do not prepare to face temptation or occasions of sin.
"Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. Luke 22:46
- We are tempted.
- We do not turn to God when we are tempted and ask for help.
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38
- We put ourselves in a situation which is a near occasion of sin.
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
- We rationalize, use other people and look for reasons that what we are doing is okay. (I am hungry, she ordered it-not me.)
- We try to minimize our sin.
Taking this one step further, we then have two options:
1.) Confess and acknowledge our wrong doing and turn away from future sins.
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. (Acts 3:19)
2.) Feel ashamed, embarrassed or even afraid of God. Refuse to acknowledge the sin and keep on sinning.
God, help me to choose the first. Help me to recognize my sins when I commit them so that I am aware and can turn to you instead. Hopefully, if I can overcome the small with your help, then the big things will be easy too.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:9

Here we've been getting ready for 10 months of great gardening! Our resting months are officially over, and now we are preparing for the new season. June and July are the months Floridians pour through seed catalogues with interesting photos and poetic descriptions while hibernating in air conditioning. This is very different from gardeners of northerly climes with their growing season starting in spring. The first crops are warm-season types planted at the end of summer (August-ish), followed by cool-season crops planted in the fall once the heat dies off (October-ish), and then another round of warm-season crops for spring (March-ish).
In May I planted cover crops across all the rows from last season and let them take over for the summer. This was a good month to stop warm-season vegetable plantings. Too much of everything- rain, heat, work, humidity, disease, and insects. The rewards fall short of the effort.
I wanted to enrich the soil, giving back what I reaped last year. I experimented with cover crops in the legume family- peas, beans, and kin. I chose cow peas and velvet beans since they are adapted for hot and somewhat moist climates, but can also tolerate drought. Perfect since typically this is the wet season, and we've been experiencing drought and unpredictable weather for years.
Legumes are emphasized because they are known as underground fertilizer factories. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live as nodules on the roots and convert nitrogen from the air into a form stored in the soil. The nitrogen- fixing bacteria need the legume roots to convert nitrogen from the air and the legumes need the nitrogen for fertility. Just another example of symbiotic relationships at work! Crops later planted where legumes grow get to tap this nitrogen too.
I was also curious about covering and protecting the soil from weeds and sun beating down all summer. The beans and peas were densely sown, grew in quickly, and created a living mulch. This created a micro- climate that shaded the soil and held in the moisture. It became a summer hangout for frogs, cats, and chickens just looking for a little relief.
August has been a busy month of uprooting the cover crops, preparing the beds, mulching walkways, and sewing seeds for transplanting. I'll be experiamenting this season with no- till methods, leaving the summer cover crops as a mulch/green manure on top of the soil rather than tilling it under. Top soil hardly exhists in coastal Florida, so tilling wrecks what little soil structure we have. The top few inches see all the action so I'm working on preserving it. That and tilling is tiring.
I hope everyone is staying hydrated, getting excited about their new beds, and of course enjoying the sea!

Another church in the old inner city of Delft. Close to the New Church is the Old Curch or "de oude Jan" as it is called in Delft. This picture shows well there are only a couple of streets between the two giant churches. It's the oldest church in Delft and was built in 1246.
|Oude Jan, not straight as you can see
The church tower is a leaning tower. Because of lack of space the water of the "oude Delft" was rerouted to create some space for the church. Because the church was partly built on solid ground and partly on a filled up formal canal the ground gave way to the weight and the tower was built lop-sided.
In the church are two special old bells, de Trinitasklok, from 1570, often called the Bourdon and the Laudateklok (bell), from 1719.
The Trinitas bell is the most important of them both. This bell, casted by Hendrick van Trier, weighs nearly 9000 kilo en has a diameter van circa 2,3 meter. De Trinitasklok is the most historic bells of the Nederlands en is only being used on special occasions. The reason for that is that the sound of the bells causes severe vibrations that could cause damage to the tower.

I converted one pair into 3 new pairs and just tweaked the other pair a bit to make them wearable. Such pretty rhinestones and I love the color green. I wish I would have taken a before picture.

Coming Out To Other People
Some people have reasons for staying in the closet. Maybe they are religious or they know their parents won't accept them or they are afraid of being bullied at school. I didn't have any reasons. I knew. Of course I knew. I knew for so long. To this day I cannot explain why I held it in. We all need to do it on our own timeline, I suppose, and for whatever fateful reason, this was mine.
I was twelve or thirteen the first time I remember consciously thinking about being attracted to another girl. I was watching The Notebook, and as Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling flapped around like birds and gazed into each other's eyes, all I could think was, "Man, Noah is so much luckier than Ally because he gets to have the pretty girl." Then I shook my head like a dog, as if you could just fling feelings out of your head, and convinced myself Noah was just as great.
My childhood was a series of female obsessions, from celebrities like Avril Lavigne, Idina Menzel, and Tina from S Club 7 to camp counselors, teachers, and sometimes friends. They were all "role models," of course, not crushes. This trend of mine—which has culminated in my current, 8-year strong love for the magnificent Taylor Swift—coupled with a lifetime free from boyfriends and filled with intense female friendships, made coming out a little easier because, well, people were not surprised.
The first person to ever come out to me was my friend, Rachel. We were nineteen, and she pulled my friend and I into the fire ring at the summer camp where we worked. It was pitch black outside, Rachel was crying, and all I could think was that she was about to tell me she was dying. My hands were shaking, and when she finally said that she was gay, I had never felt more relieved in my life.
I am, to this day, so proud of Rachel, not only for having the courage to be the first of her friends to come out, but also for doing so simply because she knew who she was and not because she had fallen in love. She taught me, however, that coming out doesn't have to be such an intense reveal. After her, friends started coming out simply and easily, just the way it should be. By the time it was my turn, my friends and family were all used to people coming out, and I knew they'd be more concerned that my heart had been broken than by the fact that it had been broken by a girl.
I told people hesitantly at first, mostly because I still wasn't used to saying the words to myself let alone to others. But the more I talked about it, the more I wanted to talk about it, and suddenly the topic of my sexuality, and my love life in general, became a common focus during chats with my friends. It quickly became less of a "subject" that needed to be discussed and more a part of our daily gossip sessions, accompanied by everyone else's adventures in romance as well. I loved it. I was shocked by how easy it was, how natural it felt, like I'd been out for years. I loved finally chatting openly, honestly, and best of all, casually, about feelings I'd been silencing my entire life.
I understand that I am lucky, that, unfortunately, many of us do not live in the warm and fuzzy world of acceptance that I do. All I had to do was get over my own inability to come to terms with being gay, and for others there are so many more hurdles to jump. I wish it could go for everyone how it went for me. Everyone deserves to become their true self and have that revelation bring them closer to the people they love.
People surprise you. Not all people, of course. Some just suck. But there are people in my life who I truly did not expect to be okay with it, and some of those people have become my biggest cheerleaders.
I can't write about what it felt like to come out to the people I care for and be rejected. I can't say how I would have handled all this if I'd had far more odds working against me. I know I can't empathize with the more difficult situations so often associated with coming out. All I can do is say that for my whole life I felt broken, and now, no matter what else life has thrown at me, I don't.

If you're familiar with this period in history, you already know the Japanese had isolated themselves from the rest of the world. Not only did they kill foreigners, they would also kill any of their own countrymen who left and then returned. Manjiro has as much a chance of returning to his own country as a poor fisherman has of becoming a Samurai.
I would recommend this one for the older end of middle graders and up into YA. My twelve-year-old and I loved it, but I wouldn't hand it to my eight-year-old yet. Not because it was offensive but because of the way the main character introspects about the racism of the Americans and the Japanese and also about the slaughter of animals. On second thought, I may read it to him, so that he can ask me questions. I really liked how they took so many of the real Manjiro's thoughts from his letters ect. and incorporated them into the story. And of course I loved how, in the end, he achieves the impossible (though what that "impossible" might encompass, you'll have to read to find out). You have to read the Epilogue and Historical Note though.
HEART OF A SAMURAI has death, bullies, rescue by blue-eyed barbarians, whaling, a kind captain, school, horse racing, gold mining, a May Day poem for a girl with storm-colored eyes (which she treasured into her eighties), a parrot who speaks Japanese, a mad captain, prison, and impossible triumph. It's the most beautiful and inspiring story I've read this year.
Have you read it? If not, what's the most inspiring story you've read this year?


text: Al May, SDSU Extension Grain Marketing Specialist, was in the area last week for two Marketing Workshops, in Murdo and Burke. The audience at both locations was not large, but very interested and engaged. The phenomenal prices currently being offered for all the major commodities were undoubtedly the reason for the producers' interest, but also the risks associated with the increase in input costs. Early in the program, Al emphasized the primary rule of marketing: "Every time you make a sale, whether a cash sale today or a sale for future delivery, you give up something to get something else in return". Producers who sold wheat shortly after the 2007 harvest; or even those who sold wheat in the fall of 2007 know that all too well. When those producers made sales, there was a profit to be made, and no one knew prices would soar to the levels they have. As Al pointed out, the key factors that resulted in the record high prices are a demand vs. supply driven market (very tight supplies of most grain commodities), a bidding war for acres, ethanol demand, outside influences (other commodities, speculators, etc.), and weather. Although ending corn stocks are not at long-term record low levels, demand is on a sharp increase. Wheat prices are a major interest, posting phenomenal prices, due to steady demand and the lowest supply in 60 years. Producers are not only interested in taking advantage of the record high prices being offered, but most of them know they need good prices to remain profitable. Not too many years ago, wheat budgets in south-central South Dakota included costs that hovered around $100 per acre. Al showed a wheat budget at the recent workshops where costs totaled $235 per acre. Spring wheat costs are almost certain to exceed that. Respectable yields at $10 per bushel may cover those costs nicely and still return a profit. But what if yields suffer and/or you don't have wheat priced and the market goes down? As Al said, we can't go back to $2 corn or $4 wheat. A concern producers expressed was pricing the 2008 crop at the current high levels, and having a crop failure. Producers in "Winter Wheat" counties, as this area is, needed to secure crop insurance in the fall of 2007. Most winter wheat producers choose the CRC (Crop Revenue Coverage) type of crop insurance, which carries a $2 cap on the CRC base price, which is already determined at $5.88 per bushel. With wheat prices at current levels, and the possibility of going even higher, there is a risk in pricing uninsured production if you have a crop failure. For more information on forward pricing grain or marketing strategies, contact the Extension office. Youth Welding Workshops Joel Milton, Lyman High School Vo-Ag/Industrial Arts Teacher, has agreed to offer a series of Youth Welding Workshops again this spring. The workshops have been scheduled to offer 4-H Youth instruction in welding, but non-4-H Youth are also welcome. To participate in the workshops, youth must be 10 years of age or older, and at least one parent is strongly encouraged to attend with their child, particularly the first session. The workshops will all be held at the Lyman High School Shop and begin at 6 p.m. The workshop sessions will be held March 10, 18 and 27. Contact the Lyman County Extension Office for more information. Calendar 3/19/2008 Ð Tree & Shrub Pruning Workshop, 7 p.m., Kennebec Library 3/21/2008 Ð Good Friday, Extension office closed afternoon
