Hi Delores, we felt very lucky that the RTH was so patient. Normally they fly off just as I raise my camera ;-}Delete
Great colour! I hear a bird calling up in the trees, and it sounds like a hawk, but it is very small. Can't get a good look at it yet. - MargyReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Margy! You could be seeing and hearing either a Merlin or an American Kestrel - both are ver small hawks. I think the Merlin might be the best bet; it's about the size of a Pigeon.Delete
Cheers! Elaine
Love those shots. The third one makes it look as though it's having a really good check on you.ReplyDelete
Wow. Such a privilege to see. thank you.ReplyDelete
Amazing shots. Love the sunlight as well!ReplyDelete

Just like writing fiction, one must find consistency. Or steal a great quote about consistency, habit. This one by Octavia Butler is from her essay, "Furor Scribendi," and sums it up quite nicely; a friend pointed this one out to me after my post about perseverance, and I like it.
"First, forget inspiration," she writes. "Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not ... Forget talent. If you have it, fine. Use it. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. As habit is more dependable than inspiration, continued learning is more dependable than talent ... Finally, don't worry about imagination. You have all the imagination you need ... Persist."
Or you could always take Joe Lansdale's advice, which is equally as, um, wise (and paraphrased, jogging my memory): "Sit ass in chair and write." No ifs, ands, or buts…just your butt in the chair and get to it!
Of course, inspiration is usually not an issue, the world is a wicked playground. (That and there's often a story or five in progress at all times.) I'm only too happy to frolic with madness, mishear things (that's one of Harlan Ellison's story triggers), and, in general, live with my eyes and mind wide open. But consistency helps improve the process, gets the brain primed and ready without delay--some days we simply have to prod the Muse and hope She jumps in when She's ready--and opens doors to even more than I might have imagined when starting a story.
BTW, "Furor Scribendi" is Latin for "rage for writing," a wonderful phrase (another door opening? Yes!) which inspires me to get back to the words at hand because, as I like to say: Words Matter!

Making Movies is an American rock and roll band that entrances audiences with their interweaving of Afro-Latino rhythms and psychedelic rock'n'roll riffs. Armed with their ambitious and politically charged new album, I Am Another You, the band punches out one high-energy song after another with theatrics and improvisation littered throughout. Their culture gives way to dynamics too: at times front-man Enrique Chi trades his electric guitar for a folkloric Panamanian mejorana, and the Chaurand brothers hop off drums and percussion to instead supply the rhythmic pulse with dueling zapateados, a traditional dance from Guadalajara, Mexico.
The band's political idea is straightforward enough that they can express it in four words: "We are all immigrants." In supporting that cause, a portion of all proceeds from the upcoming album will go to the National Immigration Law Center. I Am Another You comes out May 26th.
"... tough to classify into one genre, which ... makes them that much more appealing." — CNN en Español
"the band synthesizes what's happening in ... Latin music better than anyone else out there today." — MTV

seifknight include standard chartered bank
26/09/2012 13:52
lobong you should add citibank as well, their transaction fee is the lowest $18
26/09/2012 14:39
samuelx Yes, i am using citibank as they have the lowest minimum fee and i am a small player.
You should be careful with SCB, because although they have zero minimum commissions, they do not hold your securities with CDP... so if you apply for IPOs through DBS/UOB, etc. you may not be able to sell your securities using Citi without an additional step of transferring, etd. dont think you can use conveniently with another broker at the same time too.
27/09/2012 09:16
samuelx Anyway, this list should be outdated. I think MF Global is in the process of liquidation.
As feedback, I would suggest timestamping all such posts on the website so that users can tell when the post was made and when it was last updated.

Shiloh UMC treats Jubilee Project youth to a "Dirty Santa" gift exchange. (More photos below.)
SNEEDVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 16, 2018) -- The holiday season is a wonderful, busy time at Jubilee Project because of the generosity of many Holston Conference churches. Several churches have taken on annual events that benefit the people they serve, and they want to express their gratitude for all who remember their residents in need "over the mountain."
For the last five years, members from Kendricks Creek United Methodist Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, have hosted a party, complete with gifts and a visit from Santa, for the special-education students at Hancock County Elementary School. The smiles and joy from the children are contagious and makes this one of the staff's favorite events of the year. Of course, the volunteers from the church go away feeling that they're the ones who have been blessed.
Fairview United Methodist Church from Maryville, Tennessee, "double-dipped" their blessings this year. First, on Dec. 9, the United Methodist Women came to host a party and share fellowship with Jubilee's women's ministry. They asked each of the women for gift suggestions ahead of time and then brought them each a bag of things off the list. This is the fourth time the two groups have gotten together and relationships are forming, making the visits all the more special.
Then on Dec. 16, 45 members of all ages came from Fairview to distribute 360 Christmas meal buckets and hams. The buckets were assembled ahead of time at a mission event at the church, filling a five-gallon bucket with ingredients for a holiday meal plus some food staples. The food was a blessing, but just as important was the love and joy shared by the church members with each recipient.
On Dec. 15, Shiloh United Methodist Church from Rutledge, Tennessee, treated Jubilee's youth to a "Dirty Santa" gift swap. It was fun to watch the youth "steal and compromise," but let's just say that some mothers received a nice little gift from their sons that night.
Last but not least, thanks to the generosity of an individual donor, the youth group was able to have a special Christmas event. They traveled to Bristol for the Speedway in Lights and ice skating, and then each youth received a Christmas gift. It was a wonderful night, and coupled with the visit from Rutledge, it gave the youth a glimpse of grace, as people who didn't even know them cared about what kind of Christmas they would have.
The staff at Jubilee would like everyone who volunteered or donated (not just at Christmas but all through the year) to know that while your offering may seem small to you, in God's hands it makes a big difference for His kingdom. You will probably never know how God chooses to use it, but trust that somewhere down the line He will use it for something important. You have made a difference!
The Rev. Linda Stransky is executive director of Jubilee Project.

I know what you're thinking. BLASPHEMY! That cupcake is on fire! But wait! I swear it's part of the recipe! Sprinkle Bakes has developed these gorgeous Flaming Baked Alaska cupcakes! If you're unfamiliar with Baked Alaska it is a dessert composed up of ice cream layered with sponge cake topped with a meringue that's then placed in a super hot oven to set the meringue and brown the top. Because of all this meringue and short trip in a high heat oven the ice cream is actually protected from melting!
The process to recreate this cupcake is a little more involved that your standard everyday cupcake recipe but as you can tell from the picture, the extra time spent is well worth it! Check out the recipe and step by step guide here!

Shootings mark an end of innocence
by David Kirp
Until Friday morning, Newtown, Conn., pop. 27,560, was known, if at all, as the place where Scrabble was invented. Its residents - well-off - liked it that way. Then came the massacre: 26 dead, including 20 elementary schoolchildren. The event changes everything, not just for Newtown but for America.
In recent years, we've grown wearily familiar with killings in high schools. These horrific events happen with seeming randomness, not in hot-spots like Harlem or Watts but in burgs scattered across the nation, a roll call that includes Red Lake, Minn.; Chardon, Ohio; and of course Columbine High in Littleton, Colo. The aftermath has become as familiar as a script - the search for a cause, whether in the shooter's misshapen life, the parents' dereliction or the community's indifference, as well as a rehashing of the debate over gun control.
But this time it's different, not just because of the number of students who died but because they were so young.
Once, we imagined that school violence was someone else's problem, a plague on inner city high schools that spared the rest of us. But Columbine delivered a forcible reminder that no place, no matter how seemingly picture-perfect, was immune. Until Friday we imagined that lower elementary schools, like the children who attended them, were Edenic in their innocence. No longer.
Predictably, there will be calls to do something - anything - that will make our schools safe again. Some will urge that security guards be hired and metal detectors installed everywhere. Even if you can't imagine a 5-year-old in a leafy enclave like Newtown being asked to shed her backpack when she arrives at school, that child will grow up in a world, barely recognizable to her parents, that has grown ever less trusting, ever more vigilant for the merest hints of danger. Newtown marks an end to innocence, and in ways big and small - ways that we cannot entirely fathom - all of us are the losers.

Sally Obermeder's touching tribute to her surrogate
Sally Obermeder's little family became complete after she welcomed her second daughter, Elyssa via a surrogate in December last year.
And now, the TV host has revealed that her daughter's birth mother will always 'continue to be involved' in the family's life.
"I think [Rachel and I will] have a very tight bond for life," she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"We Facetime all the time...it feels very natural. It's just like sending photos of your kids to your friends."
Additionally, Sally revealed her second-time around at parenting, following the birth of her daughter Annabelle, 5, while she was battling breast cancer, had felt completely different
"I can't remember Annabelle smiling, I can't remember this, I can't remember that...It was so tough at that time with Annabelle...it's almost like this is my first experience of it in this way."
Welcoming Elyssa was overwhelming for Sally, who was diagnosed with breast cancer a day before she gave birth to Annabelle, in October 2011.
After a year of chemotherapy, Sally was given the all-clear but warned that it was too dangerous for her to fall pregnant again.

From Hindu Wisdom's page.
Thomas Babbington Macaulay (1800-59) was the first Law Member of the Governor-General's Legislature and is best known for introducing English education in India. Speaking in the British Parliament, he said on February 2, 1835 the following:
"Such wealth I have seen in this country (India), such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which (backbone) is her spiritual and cultural heritage. And therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation".
Dr. Dipak Basu of Nagasaki University in Japan has written:
"The British historians glorify the Muslim rule in India and dismiss the Hindu period as myths and fantasy. They dismiss the Marxian analysis of the British oppression of India. They emphasize the improvements in administration, construction of railroad, universities, abolition of 'Sati' and 'Thugis' from India and ultimate peaceful transfer of power to Gandhi-Nehru. In that history, there was no freedom movement in India , no man made famines, no transfer of huge resources from India to Britain, no destruction of Indian industries and agriculture by the British rule, but only a very benign and benevolent British rule in India. History according to the JNU or AMU is not much different."

Gee, we couldn't possibly have seen this coming: Goldman Sachs says they'll stop taking orders from its "high net worth" clients for shares of Facebook. And some of those clients have been told they'll have to settle for far fewer shares than they want, so intense is the demand.
This is according to The Wall Street Journal, citing "people familiar with the situation" – as if Goldman doesn't really want this information put out there to further gin up demand for the inevitable IPO.
"When you have a chance," reads the Goldman solicitation to its clients, "I wanted to find a time to discuss a highly confidential and time-sensitive investment opportunity in a private company that is considering a transaction to raise additional capital.
"For confidentiality reasons, I am unable to tell you the name of the company unless you agree not to use such information other than in connection with your evaluation of the investment opportunity and to keep all information that we reveal to you strictly confidential."
Any resemblance between this and a Nigerian email scam is purely coincidental. At least it wasn't in all caps.
"It looks to me like that's typical of what the investment banks have been doing for the past decade, which is trading paper for profits, instead of investing in revenue streams," we told Tech News World this week.
Unfortunately, in the process of editing the article, our central point got lost: How the whole thing smacks of a Ponzi scheme. Goldman's clients get the big gains, while the IPO investors will be left holding the bag. Plus, it looks like the deal as it's structured with Digital Sky Technologies gives Goldman's clients a built-in out…even before the IPO.
Good position, if you can land it.
But the question remains: If Goldman writes to its best clients in language that treats them like everyday marks in a wire-transfer scheme, imagine what it thinks of the schlubs who'd buy publicly traded shares.

The Journey A Communist officer falls hard... MORE > $16.95 Regularly $19.99 Buy Now
powered by AFI
Brief Synopsis
A Communist officer falls hard for a married woman trying to escape from Hungary.
In 1956 Hungary, a national uprising against Communist rule results in Soviet military occupation. At the Budapest airport, several foreigners anxiously waiting to depart are informed that flights have been canceled, but they will be transported to Vienna by bus. British television representative Hugh Deverill is surprised to find acquaintance Lady Diana Ashmore among the waiting passengers. Diana hopes to keep secret that she is traveling with Hungarian national Paul Kedes, who is hiding a severe wound from a street battle and is traveling under an assumed British identity. Although weak and exhausted, Paul insists that Diana disassociate herself from him in the event that he is detained. As the bus departs Budapest, Diana startles Hugh by confiding that she is divorcing her respected British husband. After the bus passes a Soviet roadblock, Paul faints and Diana rushes to his aid, raising Hugh's suspicions. Further down the road, the bus is halted by a group of Hungarian freedom fighters led by the steely Eva. Allowed to proceed, the bus soon arrives in Mosen, the last Hungarian town before the Austrian border. The officer in charge of the border check point, Major Surov, confiscates the passengers' passports and informs them that they must be individually questioned before being allowed to cross the border. Upon preliminary questioning, Surov is struck by Diana's poise and beauty, and also notes Paul's veiled hostility. At the local hotel, proprietor Csepege welcomes the travelers and, at the major's orders, places the men in quarters apart from the women. Sharing a room with Simon Avron and Teklel Hafouli, Paul collapses into bed with a high fever. Hugh warns Diana that if Paul is wanted by the authorities, Diana's association with him may place all the bus passengers in jeopardy. When the others go downstairs to dine, Diana slips into Paul's room to rebind his wound and Paul begs her not to place herself in danger. Surov attends the group's dinner and notices Diana's late entrance and Paul's absence. When gunfire outside interrupts the meal, Surov wonders why the Hungarians hate the Soviets. After dinner, Surov's impervious demeanor is shaken by the death of young freedom fighter killed just outside the hotel. That night, when Paul falls into a delirium and speaks an unfamiliar language, Simon awakens Hugh to express his and Teklel's fear that Paul is not British. Roused by the murmur of the men's voices, Diana overhears their discussion, then follows Hugh downstairs. Over tea, Diana reveals that Paul is a Hungarian biologist, whom she met and fell in love with in England years earlier. After Diana ended their relationship and married someone else, Paul returned to Hungary where his correspondence to England regarding her prompted government suspicion that he was a spy. Arrested and tortured mercilessly, Paul spent five years in prison and was just released. Still in love with Paul and wracked with guilt for his suffering, Diana is determined to get him out of the country. The following morning at breakfast, Csepege announces new regulations about reporting all Hungarian nationals and surrendering arms. Led by Simon, the men demand that Diana turn Paul over to Surov, but she refuses. When Surov arrives with forms for the passengers to fill out, he notices Paul's continued absence, but no one in the group gives him away. Diana brazenly offers to fill out Paul's form, then later takes it upstairs to him to sign. Surov follows and in a moment alone with Paul, accidentally finds and confiscates his gun. Later when Paul and Diana realize the gun is missing, Paul declares they must leave immediately. Diana asks Csepege how Paul might be smuggled across the border and he directs her to a contact at the fish market. After making the arrangements to escape that night, Diana is picked up by the military police and Surov. Taking Diana to a deserted brewery, Surov shows her Paul's gun and demands to know why Diana has been lying. Diana is startled when Surov admits that although he can arrest Paul, Diana's presence has forced him to hesitate and doubt his previous unquestioning attitude. That evening at dinner, Surov assures the anxious passengers that their trip will likely resume the following day and demands that the occasion be festive. Csepege secretly advises Diana that the escape plan is confirmed, but Diana is detained when Surov drunkenly insists that they dance together. Diana finally flees the dining room, but on her way to join Paul, Surov stops her to apologize for his behavior and to return Paul's gun as a farewell gift. Moments later, Diana joins Paul and a guide in a small boat in the canal. As the boat floats by the guard tower, Surov arrives on horseback and Diana and Paul are caught. Paul struggles to defend Diana, insisting that she is not responsible. Back at the hotel, the remaining passengers are placed under house arrest and several wonder why Diana and Paul did not inform them of their escape. Back at his office, Surov files his report on Paul's arrest, ignoring Diana's emotional pleas to spare Paul. Later, Surov visits Paul in jail and is affected by his courage and humanity despite his bitter experiences. Meanwhile at the hotel, the passengers, led by pregnant American Margie Rhinelander, accuse Diana of instigating their difficulties. Margie declares that everyone has noticed Surov's attraction to Diana and bluntly encourages Diana to take advantage of it to help save them. While riding back to the hotel from the jail, Surov's horse is shot out from under him by Eva hiding in a tree. Distressed, Surov returns to the military headquarters, but is unable to kill his suffering horse. When Diana arrives, Surov bitterly chastises her naïve idealism, then admits that her influence has ruined him. When Diana confesses that she came at the behest of the others, Surov is outraged, then demands that Diana confess that she returns his feelings. Despite sharing a passionate kiss with Surov, Diana departs. Early the next morning, the group, minus Paul, returns to the bus. A few miles away, as the relieved passengers disembark at a small bridge leading to Austria, Surov drives up in a jeep with Paul. Diana rushes to thank Surov, but he assures her that he has acted only to clear his conscience. Moments after Diana and Paul are welcomed to Austria by the border guards, shots ring out as Surov is killed by Eva.

This article was also published in the Financial Times.
Upstairs, the simply-named, eating-in floor of the 80,000 sq ft Whole Foods on High Street Kensington, seats 350 which makes it one of the largest café/restaurants to open in London this year irrespective of the two vast floors of food retail beneath it. And it was there shortly before it opened that David Lannon, President of the North Atlantic region of the Texas based company, outlined their systematic approach to opening in the UK.
"We bought Fresh & Wild, a small, organic food company, a few years ago and since then we have watching as the British appetite for organic produce has grown and developed. There have been numerous challenges along the road such as a fire in our former head office, the fact that Tesco have a range of their own label food called Whole Foods, sensitive negotiations with our neighbours regarding delivery times and that we are obviously not the first retailer in this market."
As two painters behind him put the finishing touches to the sign above 'The Barley', their pub which naturally only sells organic beers, Lannon explained one of the key differences in Whole Foods business model between the UK and the US. One that, surprisingly perhaps, has nothing at all to do with the organic movement.
"The eating-in aspect of this branch of Whole Foods is much more significant than anything we have ever done in the US because of the relative ease of acquiring a liquor licence here rather than in the US where it is difficult in certain states and impossible in others. We simply could not do anything like this back home," Lannon explained.
As a result, although the initial publicity concentrated on price comparisons between Whole Foods, M&S, Waitrose and Tesco this new store in fact owes more of its inspiration to the more established London department stores where restaurants and cafes sit side by side with their bountiful food halls. Fortnum & Mason's five restaurants will seat 600 by the autumn; the Fifth Floor at Harvey Nichols seats 450 but both are dwarfed by what must be the biggest restaurant in town, Harrods, where 28 different eating places can accommodate 1,839 shoppers at any one time.
In these settings, both sides, selling and serving food benefit from their proximity. The retail side benefits from the greater volume, and therefore lower unit costs that comes from buying for the kitchens as well, while the chefs, unlike their counterparts in individual restaurants or even hotels, have the benefit of highly professional in-house buyers as their colleagues. In practical terms it can mean that any fruit or vegetables that may not be aesthetically pleasing enough to sell off the shelf can be handed over at the close of the day for tomorrow's soups or salads and the butchery department can find a home for the sausages and burgers that are invariably left over when a carcass has been stripped of the fillet, ribeyes and rumps which invariably sell first.
In practice, this is often not so easy as the two departments may simply not get on and there is a finite capacity to the stews, casseroles or chowders, made from the less expensive cuts of meat and fish, that can be sold in the summer. But creating as many as possible of these 'link throughs' or 'link sales', as they are known in the trade, is the key to this type of business according to Dominic Ford, who created the Fifth Floor at Harvey Nicols and plans to launch two new foodmarkets, Food. Inc in west London later this year and Union Market in Islington in 2008. Such potential synergy can come from the most unexpected quarters, as he explained to me. "When Simon Hopkinson was at Bibendum restaurant he used to come in to buy veal and I realised that we had the meat, the butchers and the vans delivering to our private customers to develop this further. Pretty soon we were supplying 35 restaurants with their meat," Ford added with a smile.
Whole Foods' management may well stumble across an equally unexpected and profitable 'link through' but in the short term there are certainly numerous ways in which to take advantage of their enormous and well-directed buying approach.
On the ground floor, between a large wine department (where not all the wines on sale are organic) and their temperature-controlled cheese room is a small wine bar where one can sample the produce from either department. Far more significant, however, in terms of generating sales and the vital synergy between retail and the kitchens, are the three large banks of counters in the middle from which customers can help themselves to a vast array of prepared food. These counters go a long way to justifying Whole Foods choice, and expensive but well judged conversion, of this former Barkers store. It is particularly well placed to appeal not just to those who work and live close by but also to anyone heading off to Kensington Park or stopping off, pre-concert, en route to the Royal Albert Hall.
Upstairs incorporates one large self-service counter which serves pasta, pizza and salads, separate stations for ice-creams, crepes and waffles and a juice bar. But the more distinguished cooking is set around three separate counters which serve shellfish and seafood, dim sum and sushi and a range of Mediterranean small dishes (although in true American fashion the portion sizes tend to be large).
At each of these counters intelligent design allows their relatively inexperienced chefs to deliver pretty good food from the outset as a lot of the preparatory work is obviously done behind the scenes and the cooked food has only to travel a brief distance between the kitchen range and the customer. Ham croquetas and salt cod fritters arrived piping hot while the grilled halloumi had not yet turned to the rubbery consistency it easily acquires from waiting around too long in the kitchen.
On my way out I bumped into Lannon, characteristically wearing a badge announcing him as Dave, and told him how good in particular the spiced lemons with the salt cod and the drunken raisins - macerated in red wine, olive oil and vinegar - that accompany the Welsh lamb kebabs had been. He said that these were on his list for the kitchen to produce in enough quantity to be sold in the store, another potential 'link through' in the making.
But a much more long lasting effect has already occurred in the marketplace in which Whole Foods and a smaller competitor, The Natural Kitchen, which has just opened in Marylebone High Street, have chosen to operate. Talking to a number of committed growers, producers and farmers they are thrilled to see the arrival of Whole Foods in particular. "They are definitely going to up the ante for consumers," said one who preferred to remain nameless. "I think the major British supermarkets have become complacent over the past few years and have become takers rather than givers on the back of the growing interest in organic food. That approach is going to have to change now."
Whole Foods, 63/97 Kensington High Street, London W8, 020-7368 4500.

Oh Tina....you need to make another 10 bears....ahhhhh....that would give me enough reason for a massive panic attack.
I will miss you, I am already feeling very sorry for myself that I will not be there this year.

Hi everyone! Are you all excited to be back snug in your routines after the holiday break? I mentioned on Saturday that I'd be back to detail some of the exciting new things we've got planned at Verve this year. So grab a cup of joe, because I've got a lot of things to share!
First off, our amazing Divas! Oh my word, these gals have become like family to me and I'm so blessed to have them along for the ride this year! We're trying something a little different with the team in 2011, and it will mean a wider variety of Verve-alicious inspiration for all!
I think it's a little sad that there's all that Verve out there collecting dust. Just because it's not the latest release, doesn't mean that we can't all get inspired by it! So Mark and I decided to form a new team to focus on highlighting stamps from previous releases. We're starting things off with 6 of our insanely talented Divas and will be adding to this team in the coming months. I can't wait to see what they choose to inspire us with!
The rest of the Divas, including our two newest Divas will be focusing on new releases and challenges! You'll get to see them in action starting tomorrow with our first New Release Spotlight Hop of 2011! Here's a refresher of their smiling faces!
Wow! That's a lot of smiling Divas! These gals post so many more fabulous creations than what we have time to share during our releases, so this year we've devised a little organizational thread to make it easier to find our design team's Verve posts. Each time any of the Divas post a Verve creation on their blog, they'll be linking to the Divas in the Blogosphere thread over in our forum. So check back often for new inspiration!
Next up, we've got some challenges! We love seeing your Verve and want to inspire you to create! As I announced last week, there's a new look for Viva la Verve! and we'll be having a new card sketch every Friday! We hope you'll play along.
There's a NEW Diva challenge in town! Each month, starting in February, one of the release team Divas will host a week long challenge over in our forum. This is your chance to Get Your Diva On, and there's a super sweet prize! One participant each month will be chosen to be a future Guest Diva! That means the winner will receive an entire Verve release, as well as get to play along behind the scenes with the Divas during an upcoming release! This challenge will start on the 2nd Monday of each month and you'll have until that Saturday night to get your entries in! So mark your calendars for our first Get Your Diva On challenge... Monday, February 14!
Show Us Your Verve thread so we can come check it out! We'll be randomly picking some winners each month for some fun prizes, so show us your VERVE!!!
I'm sure there's a few other new things we'll be introducing as the year goes on, but I think that's enough rambling for one Monday morning! LOL Tune in tomorrow for the first day of our New Release Spotlight Hops!

Life Spiral
Quantity in Basket:
Code: LS
Price: $150.00
In the center of this piece lies a golden Triskelion, a Celtic symbol that represents the Maid, Mother and Crone. The Butterfly correlates with these three stages as caterpillar, to cocoon to winged wisdom. Each stage vital, unique and a part of the life cycle. The elder spotted dolphins have motted spots, wrinkled but lucid eyes, and their manner is meditative and knowing. Dolphins value life at every age, as seen in this RARE, HAND-SIGNED 16"x20" Limited Edition Giclee, printed on Satin Stock, Hand-signed, of a series of 750, by multimedia artist Michele Gold.
(In the expensive and meticulous process of a Giclee Print, a million sprays per second create a continuous flow of color, far superior to an ordinary lithograph. Giclees are highly sought after since they are the closest thing to an original that is possible!)

Single Mom and Separation Anxiety with an Only Child
mom.me: March 1, 2013
It's common for your toddler to cling to your leg when you leave for work, or a kindergartner to miss mommy while at school. However, separation anxiety can be even more difficult for only children and children raised by a single mom, says Dr. Wendy Rice, a licensed psychologist in Tampa, Florida. "Separation anxiety is a common phase during child development, in part due to innate fears that the parent may disappear if out of the child's immediate sight," says Rice. "If fear that the parent will disappear when the child leaves their side dominates, insecurity takes over and separation becomes a frightening and frustrating experience for both parent and child…

Yahoo CEO Terry Semel seemed a little nervous as he strode out on stage, cutting a more bashful figure than the typical broadcast-network chief. "Times are a-changing, and changing quickly. There is no doubt in my mind the world has gone fully digital," he said before reeling off facts and figures on broadband penetration.
Mobile search and IPTV
Mr. Semel also touched on Yahoo's mobile search service and internet-protocol TV. Yahoo has been doing IPTV in Japan for awhile, he said, and is working with AT&T domestically on its IPTV program. "We should very much be part of your early planning."
At one point Mr. Semel pulled a series of cue cards out of his pocket and mulled, "Oh, what else did I want to talk about now?" Apparently that was it, and he moved on, introducing Wenda Harris Millard, Yahoo's chief sales officer.
"We're not here to trash television," she said. But, she noted, 17% of a consumer's time is spent online, and only 6% of ad dollars are spent there. While people always say it's not about the money, "that spread of 11 points ... that's very much about the money," she said. Moving dollars online, she said, is about "replacing hope with certainty. ... We're here today to gently coax new thinking as media plans are created."
Time spent on Yahoo
Among the other stats touted: Yahoo has 7 million affinity groups, 75 million search users and a 29% higher conversion rate in search than Google. And time spent on Yahoo properties accounts for 13% of total time spent online -- "more than MySpace, Facebook and Google combined," said Jeff Weiner, senior VP-Yahoo search.
For a first go, it was an admirable attempt, though the program was notably light on entertainment compared with the broadcast and cable upfront presentations -- which might have been the point. The only hint of relief from what at times felt like an investor roadshow came from Yahoo Chief Marketing Officer Cammie Dunaway, who quoted a survey about how sleep is the new sex -- which she said was true at her house, anyway.
TV buyer reaction was, as always, mixed. Some said they wished they had heard some of the offerings a bit sooner than yesterday, while others said they had wanted a little less marketing speak and a little more talk about what Yahoo can do for them.
More case studies
Audience members thought the presentation could have used a few more case studies of effective advertising partnerships beyond the Nike and Doritos examples offered by two of the speakers, as well as a better explanation of how Yahoo can offer integrations between online and TV. Still, the presentation reminded the crowd that Yahoo does come up with its own content and can attract big audiences to boot.
"Relationships are critical" for Yahoo, said Greg Coleman, exec VP-global media sales. "We need to sit down and talk deeply." He added that workloads are "out of control, and we have to be careful about where we focus our time." The idea being, we guess, to focus time on Yahoo.
"Today is not about theater," Ms. Millard said. "You won't see 'Desperate Housewives,' no indoor pyrotechnics. We don't even have Paris or Britney. But we do have an enormous respect for your time" -- though some might have wondered about the wisdom of the animated, onscreen "Gus the Gopher," who took some 15 minutes to demonstrate what Yahoo can do on cellphones.

Here are our design team projects:
I used ribbon, paint and yellow from the above list to create this tag. I normally colour stamps using Copics but as these were not n the list I decided to use paint. I was surprised that it turned out as well as it did as paint for me normally involves lots of paint and mess! The tag and stamps are all from PaperArtsy and in case you were wondering I do not have shares in PaperArtsy but I am starting to think that maybe I should!
The recipe I used for my page is; yellow, paint, white space and ribbon. The yellow was so bright, but so was the seahorse at the aquarium, lol. I always love to work with bright colors, they are my favorite. Let's see what recipe you will choose :-)
Recipes challenges are so much fun! I've used white space, yellow, paint and a bit of fluff!
I knew instantly that I wanted to do a paint printing background for this card. I also decided pretty quickly to finish my recipe with a banner and ribbon.
I created a Flora Art Tag and used Yellow, Ribbon and Paint from Kerry's list. I wanted the color yellow to be the most prominent feature in this project so all the elements I used have various shades of this color.

use Circular Polarized lens technology without electronics and, therefore, are less
expensive to manufacturer.

No, not everybody, but they are effective for most. Only a small portion of the
U.S. population suffer from stereo blindness. Others have some challenges including
disorientation or headaches from extended use of 3D glasses. If this occurs, we
recommend viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D images.
For more information, please download our Use and Care Guide.
Your Active 3D glasses use electronically-driven Liquid Crystal lenses that receive
a signal emitted from the 3D-ready TV. To Power-ON the glasses, find the Power button
on the top left temple. Depress the Power button and the LED green light will shine
for 1.5 seconds. To turn OFF, depress the power button for 1.5 seconds and the LED
green light will blink three times.
For more information, please download our Use and Care Guide.
Your Active 3D glasses receive an IR (infrared) signal from your 3D-ready TV. For
proper use, glasses should squarely face TV with no objects blocking the signal
between the TV and the 3D glasses. Keep the 3D glasses away from other IR devices
and Fluorescent lighting as this can cause some 'flicker' at times.
For more information, please download our Use and Care Guide.
When your Active 3D glasses need recharging, the LED green light will blink once
every three seconds indicating your battery power is low. Locate the USB cable in
the 3ACTIVE protective case and connect the USB cable to both your 3ACTIVE glasses
on the bottom of your left temple and your computer. The LED red light will indicate
that recharging is taking place and will be completed in two hours. The recharge
is complete when the LED red light goes off.
For more information, please download our Use and Care Guide.

I've been playing with our recipe a little bit and tweaked our favorite biscuit recipe to make it a sweeter version for shortcake.
For the Biscuits:
2 cups flour (I've been really enjoying using King Arthur Flour company's white whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) just barely softened
4 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk (plus a small amount to use just before baking)
1 teaspoon vanilla
small amount of course sugar (for the tops of the biscuits)
For the Filling:
Whole fresh strawberries
Whipping Cream or pre-whipped whipped cream
To Make the Biscuits:
1. Preheat the over to 450 degrees F.
2. Mix the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
3. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (My trick is I cut the butter into small pieces with a knife and then use the wire whisk on my Kitchen Aid mixer to cut the butter into the flour mixture.)
4. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until the mixture comes together.
5. It will be a little sticky and lumpy. Turn out onto a slight floured surface and knead a few more times. It should start to be a little smoother and a little less sticky. Add a small handful of flour if too sticky.
6. Reflour the surface and pat the dough out flat so that it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Or, if you do not have one of those use a the slightly floured edge of a drinking glass.
7. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
8. Brush each shortcake with a little bit of milk and sprinkle on the coarse sugar.
9. Bake the shortcakes for 10 to 12 minutes. They should be slightly golden colored when they are ready to come out.
10. Let cool on a wire rack. Shortcakes can be served slightly warm, or made up to a day ahead and served cooled.
Before serving:
1. Wash and slice the strawberries into a bowl. If you want the strawberries to be a little juicier, you can add a small dash of either white sugar or maple syrup. Also, the further ahead you prep them the juicier they will be.
2. Whip the whipping cream using an electric mixer ( I add a little sugar and vanilla first) or use a pre-made whipped cream.
3. Slice the shortcakes in half. Place the berries and cream on the bottom half, then top with the other half of the shortcake. Enjoy!
This is a recipe my kids love helping with, especially my 2 year old. Here are a few ways little hands can help:
Patting down the dough and cutting out the shortcakes. Even though it sometimes means having to repeat the patting stage several times, this recipe seems pretty forgiving to being handled lots of times.
Brushing on the milk and sprinkling on the sugar. Yup, sometimes it makes a mess, but luckily the parchment paper (or in this case silicone mat) saves me from a lot of clean up time.
And of course, everyone enjoys the final product!

In researching 17th century maternity wear recently, I came upon a treasure-trove of information on 17th century daily life in Holland, compiled by art historian Kees Kaldenbach. The facts of daily life are deducted in part from the detailed inventories of the Vermeer household, as well as paintings.
The history geeks among us will know well the feeling of coming upon such a resource. I call it "Falling into the Black Hold of Research" when I emerge to see that hours have passed.
Consider yourself warned!
On courtship and making love
Childbirths, midwives, obstetricians
Maternity dress and trousseau
Children's chair, potty chair
Baby child presented in a crisom
Feeding brest milk/mother's milk
Vaginal syringe
Fire basket, fire holder
Mattress, bed, blanket. A bed was made of three layers:
- a flat mattress filled with bedstraw, horse hair or sea grass.
- a soft cover filled with feathers, down or "kapok" from silk-cotton trees. This is the layer a person would sleep on.
- sheets and blankets
pillows (pillows, ear cushion, sit cushion, tapestry cushion — there were no chairs for the children. They were to use pillows when the adults used the chairs.); blanket,
bed cover: fascinating! The Vermeer household of 3 or 4 adults and 11 children had few blankets. People slept sitting up, two to a bedstead, propped up by pillows. The children slept in wheeled drawers which slid under the bed.
bedsheets, pillow cases, bed linen: 8 pairs of sheets were valued at 48 gilders — the equivalent of a workman's wage for 24 to 48 days.
In the cooking kitchen
In the basement, or cellar
In the inner kitchen
Delft markets
Market bucket
Tables: fold-out table, pull-out table, round table, octagonal table, sideboard: This includes instructions on table manners. ("Do not propose to sing at the table oneself ; wait until one is invited repeatedly to do so and keep it short.")
Trestle table
Foot stove: "One placed an earthenware container within the foot stove and filled it with glowing coals or charcoal. One then placed the feet on it. If a large dress was then lowered over it, or a chamber coat, it warmed both feet and legs."
Pots, vats and barrels in the basement
Chimney hanging; pelmet, valance, rabat; large chimney covering cloth; gold tooled leather (wall covering);
Hall stand or hat stand;
Cloth drying sticks: long, round sticks that rested on attic ceiling beams. The sticks were pushed through sleeves of wet clothes and thus would allow for drying.
Wood chairs, covered with red Spanish leather.
Tapestry table rug: "Only the most wealthy of Dutch households put Turkish rugs on the floor."
So, you see? I hope you enjoyed this little trip back into the 17th century.

I gripped the metal handle of the factory door and my knuckes instantly froze to it, just as I imagined my father's always did.
Lisa agreed with her mother that the sewerage drain outside the front door was an issue with her new flat, but a far more pressing one she loathed to mention was the door key glistening in the trickling, putrid water below.
As usual, I'm open to criticism, but please try to stick to the one liners. ;)
