How to Make Nail Polish Jewelry
Tammy is a paralegal, an experienced freelance writer, a mother of four, and a bargain hunter.
Fast and Affordable Jewelry With Nail Polish
Jewelry is expensive. Why not make your own (or spruce up the jewelry you already have)?
Making jewelry with nail polish is fast, inexpensive, and an easy way to add some flair to your jewelry collection. By using crackle nail polish, you can create rings, bracelets, necklaces, key chains, purse ornaments, and bookmarks in custom designs and colors of your choosing.
This jewelry is created by painting the flat side of cabochon stones with a clear topcoat and various coats and colors of crackle nail polish. The design is then painted with black crackle polish to give the stone a "mirror" finish. The result is a beautiful "stone" that looks as if it has a beautiful glow from within and many compliments for you.
A Great DIY Gift Idea!
Nail polish rings look fabulous when you wear them with matching nail polish. Finished pieces make great gifts for you or someone special. Nail polish jewelry is a very fun and addictive craft!
- Clear Cabochon Stones: Available in jeweler's grade online at Etsy or at any craft store. These can be made using the floral beads in the floral department at Walmart or the Dollar Store. If using these, check the quality of them before your paint your stone as some of them may be chipped.
- Crackle Nail Polish: In several colors including black to line the bottom of the stone.
- Clear Lacquer Nail Polish: OPI is the leading brand of all nail polishes.
- Jewelry Finding: These can be purchased at craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, AC Moore, and Michaels. Findings are the actual jewelry structure in which you will place your stone such as a ring, necklace pendant, bracelet, or key ring. Jewelry findings come in many styles and quality may vary. If you plan on wearing your piece of jewelry, consider getting a sturdy, high-quality finding for a setting.
- Glue Gun: With high-temperature glue sticks or super glue.
- Tape: To hold the stone in place while painting.
Instructions to Make Nail Polish Jewelry
- Fold a piece of tape around your finger so it is sticky on all sides. Place it on a clean workspace that is prepared for painting.
- Place the clear cabochon stone onto the tape so it stays in place as you paint it. Make sure the flat side is facing up. This is the side of the stone that will be painted.
- Coat the flat side of the cabochon stone with an even thin coat of clear nail polish. Allow the polish to dry for at least ten minutes. If you are using crackle nail polish on your stone, you must coat it first with clear polish. Crackle polish activates when it is used on nail polish,
- Coat the stone with your favorite shades of crackle polish in any design you desire. Experiment with patterns and abstract applications. This will be the design that shows through your jewelry. (Sparkle nail polish looks exceptionally pretty!)
- Let the design dry completely. Allow extra drying time for thick paint.
- Coat the back of the stone with black nail polish. This will help your design to show through and give the stone a mirror effect from the top. This will also prevent the glue from showing through once you glue it to the finding. Allow this coat to dry.
- When you are certain the nail polish is dry and hardened, glue the cabochon stone to the finding. A high-temperature glue is best for securing the stone to the finding but you can also use craft glue or super glue. Allow the glue to dry before wearing your new jewelry.

Terrific idea! There's a photo at the top of your hub here that shows a pendant with yellow, blue and black swirls ... how exactly did you make that one?
Lejla M.S. from Bosnia and Herzegovina on November 16, 2014:
Looks great. I might give it a try as well :)
Emma Lindhagen from Stockholm, Sweden on November 16, 2014:
This sounds like a lot of fun! I must try it out one day.

That is so cool! I had no idea this was even possible. Vote up!
Hamza Arshad from Pakistan on March 28, 2013:
Wow that's something creative thanks for sharing such ideas
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 28, 2013:
Thanks for reading The Goddess. You can use the glass stones from the Dollar Store. These are vase fillings and are a little chunky. Many of them have an irridencent quality that make regular nail polish look magical. I found the ones I used at Etsy. If you search cabachons you can find them in any size and they are very affordable. You don't have to use crackle polish if you don't want to. The blue one in the photos is made of just blue nail polish. You will still want to add a clear coat on the bottom of the stone. Hope that helps!
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 28, 2013:
Thanks so much Sparleyfinger. I appreciate you stopping by.
Brina from Ohio on March 28, 2013:
These are really beautiful and original. Just a quick question though: Are these stones like the glass ones you could get at a Dollar store? And do you HAVE to use crackle polish?
Rumana from Sharjah, UAE on March 27, 2013:
Hi tammyswallow,
I am having a habit of making ear piece from my old jewelry. But you have done something very creative here.

Tammy (author) from North Carolina on February 27, 2013:
Thanks Maria! There are a few on this page. You can get a big variety of bezel cup rings and cabachons on Ebay and Etsy. The cheaper they are, the lower quality they usually are. I hope you will give them a try!

Brenda Kyle from Blue Springs, Missouri, USA on February 26, 2013:

talfonso from Tampa Bay, FL on July 09, 2012:
Wow! I've never heard of nail polish jewelry. If I have to work at a job where nails have to be free of polish (like foodservice), I'd decide that instead of wasting polish, I'd buy a stone and a bezel and paint with it!
carol stanley from Arizona on July 09, 2012:
I just came across this and found it fascinating. I write a lot of craft articles and never heard of doing this. Well done and very interesting. WOuld love to try it. I am a new writer at Hubpages. Drop in sometimes.

Tammy (author) from North Carolina on June 18, 2012:
Thanks Suzie HQ. I really appreciate your support of crafts. This is one craft that really pays if you plan to sell them. Men actually buy many of these in red and black and black and silver. These do wonderful on Etsy and Copious. I have been working on some with metallic nail polish and they turned out really neat. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Suzanne Ridgeway from Dublin, Ireland on June 18, 2012:

Wow, this is so cool. I can see doing this at a teenage girl's party (as well as doing it for myself).
Really clever!
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on June 03, 2012:
You can use those for this project. The irridecent ones make pretty jewerly. You can also use purchased cabachons that fit specific ring sizes from Etsy. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for commenting.
cmendijar77 from philippines on June 03, 2012:
This is awesome Tammy! That picture with the different cabochans reminds me of those little colored glass pieces that you can put inside of vases and what not. I can't wait to try this out!
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on June 03, 2012:
Thanks for your kind comment frogyfish. You can find crackle polish at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart. I hope you have fun with this craft.
frogyfish from Central United States of America on June 02, 2012:
This is a delightful new craft, at least to me. Loved your video instruction, both of them. I will have to get some crackle polish, which I have never seen because I don't wear nail polish, and have fun! Lots of ideas here. Thanks much for sharing your tips.

Liz Elias from Oakley, CA on April 30, 2012:
Right--I was thinking of any possible adverse effect on the polish itself.... Thank you
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on April 30, 2012:
Thanks for stopping by DzyMsLizzy. As long as the stone is taped down to the table (or set in putty) a blowdryer could definatley speed up the process. If it isn't attached, it will blow off the table. Thanks so much for your comment.
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on April 30, 2012:

Thanks so much for reading and commenting babergirl. I am sure you know exactly what can be done with crackle polish. I appreciate your visit and kind comment.
Liz Elias from Oakley, CA on April 30, 2012:
Very interesting. I would not have guessed nail polish from the photos.
I wonder, if you are an impatient sort--not mentioning names, (**la-dee-dah...looks around and up at ceiling...hum-dee-dum...**), whether you could use a hair dryer to speed up the nail polish drying time without causing a problem in the finished piece.....
Voted up, interesting, beautiful and shared.
Anamika S Jain from Mumbai - Maharashtra, India on April 30, 2012:
Nail Polish Jewelry? Now that's interesting! Good Hub,voted up!
Stacy Harris from Hemet, Ca on April 30, 2012:
I love this idea. Being that my profession is a cosmetologist, you can only imagine how many bottles of nail polish I own. I bet this would be a fun little craft to do with my girls. They are old enough that they could do this, and they are really getting into jewelry! Thanks for the great idea... up, awesome and pinning!

Tammy (author) from North Carolina on April 03, 2012:
Hi Cloverleaffarm,
I am not sure if you can crackle a stone that is already colored. If it is a translucent stone, you can apply crackle to the back of it and it may show up. It wouldn't look the same. I will experiment with that and let you know if any thing works. Thanks for reading!
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on April 03, 2012:
Thanks daisydaz. It is addictive and so much fun. You can make one for every outfit! Thanks for commenting!
Healing Herbalist from The Hamlet of Effingham on April 03, 2012:
I saw this stones in colors the other day. I wonder what you could do to 'crackle' those?

Thanks for the comment alifeofdesign. This is a wonderful craft. It can be done in the time it takes polish and glue to dry and it looks amazing. I appreciate you stopping by!
Graham Gifford from New Hamphire on March 29, 2012:
My nieces would love this idea. Thank you, tammyswallow, for sharing. I hadn't seen this craft idea before and it's particularly good because it cane be an afternoon craft. All too often, I'm inspired to craft a much larger project that takes weeks to complete. It's refreshing to make something you can wear that night!
Best Regards,
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 29, 2012:
Thanks so much myawn! It is great fun.
myawn from Florida on March 29, 2012:
never would have thought of this excellent jewelry hub.. I love making jewelry will try this .
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 28, 2012:
Thanks for your comment creativelycc! These are beautiful and they look stunning on all sorts of ring bases. Walmart, CVS,(the Sally Hansen brand) and Sally Beauty sell crackle nail polish. It is a harsh look and I don't think I would wear it on my nails, but it brings this jewelry to life. You can put regular nail polish on top of it and it shines through. I appreciate your visit and wish you the very best as well!
Carrie L Cronkite from Maine on March 28, 2012:
I love this, they are so beautiful. They would make great Christmas gifts. I never heard of crackle nail polish, I'll have to look for some the next time I'm at Walmart. Thank you very much and the best to you!
Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 28, 2012:
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment Ms. Stephanie. This is a fun craft and the combinations of colors are endless. I appreciate your visit.

Age: 56
Birthplace: Burlington, Ontario, Canada
Jillian Marie Barberie (née Warry; born September 26, 1966) is a Canadian-born American actress, television hostess, sportscaster, and radio personality who currently co-hosts The Drive Home on 790 KABC in Los Angeles. From 1995 to 2012, she was a co-host on the popular Los Angeles television morning show Good Day L.A.. Concurrently, from 2000 to 2005, she appeared on Fox Sports as the weatherperson for Fox NFL Sunday.[2] From 2006 to 2013, she was known as Jillian Reynolds by marriage.Barberie was born Jillian Warry in Burlington, Ontario after being adopted soon after her birth. Later in life after finding her biological parents she learned she was born to a native Irish mother and native Lithuanian father who had both immigrated to Canada, and later went on to marry and raise Jillian's two sisters. She went to Assumption Catholic Secondary School and then went on to graduate from Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario, with a diploma from its two-year program in broadcast journalism. After completing her diploma, she worked for several other television stations, including The Weather Network in Montreal, Quebec, WSVN in Miami and KTTV in Los Angeles (WSVN and KTTV are Fox affiliates).
Barberie's screen presence has earned her roles on several television dramas including Clueless, V.I.P. and Melrose Place, as well as comedic turns on the sitcom Yes, Dear and the Fox sketch comedy series MADtv.[3] She hosted the reality television series EX-treme Dating. In 2000, she was hired to present the national weather segment of Fox Sports Fox NFL Sunday pregame show, working opposite James Brown, Howie Long, and Terry Bradshaw. As a result of her scratchy gravel-laced voice and affable "one of the guys" on-camera personality, she became a national figure and earned significant fan interest in the male-dominated sports demographic, and several spots for Prestone antifreeze that aired during NFL game broadcasts.[4]
In addition to Barberie's work on Good Day L.A., she worked on the national version of the show Good Day Live. However, she was ultimately fired from that show, ending her tenure there on June 4, 2004.
She served as the weather girl and entertainment reporter for Fox Sports during the 2002 Super Bowl, the 2005 Super Bowl, and the 2008 Super Bowl. In 2005, she was Regis Philbin's co-host for his New Year's Eve special on Fox. She has appeared in Maxim magazine twice. In 2006, she participated as a contestant on the Fox reality television series Skating with Celebrities, partnered with professional skater John Zimmerman and came in second place. She was an ice skater in her childhood. Beginning in November 2006, she became the co-host of KTTV's That's So Hollywood with fellow KTTV/KCOP personality, Mark Thompson.
In August 2008, Barberie began appearing in NutriSystem commercials with former NFL players Dan Marino and Mike Golic; in the ad, she claims to have lost over 40 pounds after the birth of her daughter.
In March 2009, Barberie was also the host of American Idol Extra on Fox Reality Channel. She interviews the eliminated Idol that week and other guests who appear on the show. She has appeared alongside her ex-husband, Grant Reynolds, in the Fox Reality Channel original series, Househusbands of Hollywood.[5]
Beginning in February 2014, she co-hosted Midday Live on 790 KABC in Los Angeles, airing from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Since January 2015, Barberie and John Phillips were moved to the 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm timeslot.[6]
She has also hosted the entertainment program Hollywood Mix on KTLA.[citation needed]
Barberie works for the prevention of cruelty to animals and has nine pets of her own—all of whom she has adopted from shelters. She has said that she believes her "adoptive" nature is due to the fact that she herself was adopted.
Barberie was married to former Major League Baseball player Bret Barberie from 1996 to 2002.[citation needed]
In her backyard she married former Marine sniper turned actor Grant Reynolds in a private ceremony on July 8, 2006.[7] She initially stated that she was legally changing her name to Jillian Reynolds, but keeping Barberie as her professional surname.[8] Since then, she has chosen to use Reynolds as her surname on Fox NFL Sunday while continuing to use Barberie in the NutriSystem commercials—until April 2009, when she began using Reynolds in those ads.
In December 2006, People magazine said Reynolds was pregnant with her first child, due July 7. She officially announced her pregnancy the morning of December 18, 2006, during the broadcast of Good Day L.A.[9] Barberie took three-month maternity leave from the show beginning June 22, 2007. On July 9, an announcement on Good Day L.A. stated that she had given birth to a girl, Ruby Raven Reynolds, on July 6, 2007. The baby weighed 6 lbs. and 12 oz.[10] On July 6, 2009, she announced on Good Day LA that she was pregnant with her second child. She gave birth to a boy, Rocco Rio Reynolds on January 11, 2010. The newborn weighed 7 lbs 8ozs and was 20½ inches long.[11][12]
In 2011, Barberie became a naturalized citizen of the United States.[13]
On March 15, 2013, Jillian announced that she and her husband Grant Reynolds were divorcing.[14]
The divorce was finalized on February 14, 2014.[1]

Pros and Cons of headless eCommerce that you probably didn't know about!
The world of headless eCommerce is a pretty diverse one! Making a decision on selecting a headless eCommerce platform is not just deciding for your online store but your business as a whole.
There are many associated pros and cons, and every small factor can actually affect the future of your business in a big way. With the right platform, you can completely transform the way buyers perceive your business, the way you accept and process orders, and analyze your data.
This article aims to simplify your decision-making process by listing all the major pros and cons of a headless eCommerce platform.
Without any further ado, let's jump straight into the pros and cons:
PROS of headless eCommerce
- Faster time to market – If you successfully built an omnichannel or a multi-channel retail experience using a traditional eCommerce platform, your scaling can be complex, thanks to the slow time to market. On the other hand, a headless eCommerce solution helps businesses focus on front-end experiences on touchpoints and various devices. The products and content are delivered via API and housed centrally. This further facilitates quicker time to market while entering new regions and adopting new channels.
- For agile marketing – A headless eCommerce platform is capable of supporting new technology whenever required. To be able to support new technology is ideal while designing new user experiences. This will enable your marketing team to promote your brand in the best ways possible on various sites across different portfolios, brands, and divisions. Therefore, the flexibility offered by the headless eCommerce solutions gives a push to the marketing teams to manage your business better.
- Lower cost – Headless eCommerce technologies are advancing each day. With such growth, starting and maintaining an eCommerce store with a limited investment has become quite affordable and pocket-friendly. Merchants now need not spend large sums of money on billboards or television advertisements, or real estate.
- To go Omnichannel – A headless eCommerce platform will aid in driving your content everywhere. Meaning, it will deliver your eCommerce products, blog posts, product videos, etc., to any channel that has or will emerge. Hence, be ready to sell through digital signage, Alexa, progressive web apps, etc. The best part with a headless eCommerce platform is that it is a future-proof package. There is no requirement to restructure your web platform to publish across different desired channels.
- Personalized messaging – Headless eCommerce platforms allow merchants to serve their customers better. They can send product recommendations and personalized content to every registered buyer. This form of targeted communication helps to enhance conversion by posting relevant content for every customer.
- To remain competitive – A headless eCommerce platform allows you to deploy updates without affecting the back-end of your store. In addition, you can easily alter the front end to coincide with the speed of the customer technology. Most commerce labels that use a traditional eCommerce solution usually roll out updates in a few weeks. When the front and back ends are not firmly coupled, you do not need updates for the entire system. Only updating a part does the job. Therefore, you can deliver the desirables of the customers in a short period and pretty much remain competitive.
- Website personalization – Website personalization leads to better shopping experiences. Another pro of headless eCommerce platforms is that you can have personalized landing pages for your customers. This personalization will let your buyers purchase from your store without any extra work from your end. All the hard work can be done much in advance based on your customers. Furthermore, you can personalize the experience of your buyers by sending out emails. You can segment your mailing list based on older purchases, money spent, or location. Another recommendation is to retarget buyers who visited your online store or added a product to their cart.
- More consistent and personal customer experience – Customers need change with time, but they must receive a consistent user experience across all channels and devices. Additionally, audiences wish to purchase from brands that understand their needs. In a headless eCommerce platform, the back-end is familiar with what a specific customer prefers. It uses the data to influence the personalization tools on social channels, CMS, and mobile apps.
- It makes the customer experience more consistent and personal – Customers require change with time. However, every customer of your store on a headless eCommerce platform should enjoy a consistent shopping experience irrespective of what channel or device they use.
- Faster Integrations – Integrations, and updates are time-consuming jobs when speaking from a technical point. They take several weeks to have the job done. When speaking of a headless eCommerce solution, eCommerce integrations are API-driven. Meaning, you get to enjoy quicker integrations. Using a headless approach for your business, software platforms like CRM, CMS, ERPs, etc., are quickly integrated.
CONS of headless eCommerce
- Customizing and Initial setup – The initial setup of Headless eCommerce solutions involve a lot of steps. You would need a lot of customizations and integrations to fulfill all the needs of your particular business. This can include paying a lot of developers from different backgrounds. However, companies like BetterCommerce offer complete integration and initial setup, so you won't have to get into the technical side of Headless eCommerce.
- Costing for small startups – If you are starting out your eCommerce journey on a small scale and wish to test out things, headless is probably not for you. There are price points and linked factors that do not make sense for people testing out their ideas. However, it becomes logical as soon as you start to scale.
- Training – This can be a con or pro for you, depending on your current stage and other factors. You will have to train your team so they can easily use every part of the software. Marketing campaigns and other changes on the website have to be made by members of your team who are trained for using and making changes on the platform.
This becomes a pro with time as you get more freedom and ease in implementing changes on your website.
I am sure you now have a clear idea of all the pros and cons of a headless eCommerce platform and can visualize what you can do with your business.
BetterCommerce had researched and experienced the cons in eCommerce platforms to build a platform while working on all those cons.

Walmart Stays Above Annual Value Level - Here's the Trade
Walmart (WMT) - Get Free Report reported weaker-than-expected earnings, ending a winning streak of seven consecutive quarters.
But after a bit of weakness early on, the stock has stayed above its annual value level at $116.42, as the Bentonville, Ark., retail giant's board declared an increased dividend.
The earnings metrics were disappointing but that may have been caused by a shorter holiday-shopping period. Here's the earnings details as analyzed by TheStreet.com.
A look at the technicals shows Walmart held its 200-day simple moving average at $112.88 on its daily chart on Jan. 27. The weekly chart ended last week positive, which favored a positive reaction to the earnings news.
The stock ended last week at $117.89, down 0.8% year to date and in bull-market territory 22% above its 52-week low of $96.53 set March 28, 2019.
It's 6% below its all-time intraday high of $125.38, set on Nov. 14.
Longer term, shares of Walmart had two major corrections.
From a high of $109.98 set during the week of Feb. 2, 2018, the stock fell 25% to a low of $81.78, set during the week of May 25, 2018.
Then, from a high of $105.50 set during the week of Nov. 16, 2018, the stock fell 19% to a cycle low of $85.78, set during the week of Dec. 28, 2018.
The stock is not cheap, as its p/e multiple is 23.7 with a dividend yield of 1.8%, according to Macrotrends.
The Daily Chart for Walmart
Courtesy of Refinitiv XENITH
The daily chart for Walmart shows that the stock has been above a golden cross since Sept. 17, 2018, when the 50-day simple moving average rose above the 200-day simple moving average. The move indicated that higher prices lay ahead.
This buy signal was in play when the stock set its Christmas Eve 2018 low of $85.78. When a stock is above a golden cross, investors should always buy weakness to the 200-day SMA.
The close of $118.84 on Dec. 31 was an important input to my proprietary analytics. Its annual pivot for 2020, $116.42, was a value level before the earnings report. The semiannual risky level for the first half of 2020 is $126.15. The value level for the first quarter is $107.04.
The close of $114.49 on Jan. 31 was an input to my analytics, and its risky level for February is $129.22. This week's value level is $113.24.
The Weekly Chart for Walmart
Courtesy of Refinitiv XENITH
The weekly chart for Walmart is positive, with the stock above its five-week modified moving average of $117.14.
The stock is well above its 200-week simple moving average, or reversion to the mean, at $90.18. That was last tested during the week of July 14, 2017, when the average was $73.34.
The 12x3x3 weekly slow stochastic reading is projected to rise to 32.55 this week from 23.05 on Feb. 14.
When the stock spiked to its all-time high of $125.38 on Nov. 14, this reading was above the 90 threshold as an inflating parabolic bubble. Such a condition is typically followed by a decline of 10% to 20%. The decline to $112.68 set during the week of Jan. 31 was 10%.
Trading Strategy: Buy weakness to WMT's annual pivot at $116.41 and to its 200-day simple moving average at $113.92. Reduce holdings on strength to its semiannual and monthly risky levels at $126.15 and $129.22, respectively.
How to use my value levels and risky levels:
The closes on Dec. 31, 2019, were inputs to my proprietary analytics. Quarterly, semiannual and annual levels remain on the charts. Each uses the past nine closes in these time horizons.
Monthly levels for February were established based on the Jan. 31 closes.
New weekly levels are calculated after the end of each week.
New quarterly levels occur at the end of each quarter. Semiannual levels are updated at mid-year. Annual levels are in play all year long.
My theory is that nine years of volatility between closes are enough to assume that all possible bullish or bearish events for the stock are factored in.
To capture share price volatility investors should buy on weakness to a value level and reduce holdings on strength to a risky level. A pivot is a value level or risky level that was violated within its time horizon. Pivots act as magnets that have a high probability of being tested again before its time horizon expires.
How to use 12x3x3 Weekly Slow Stochastic Readings:
My choice of using 12x3x3 weekly slow stochastic readings was based upon back-testing many methods of reading share-price momentum with the objective of finding the combination that resulted in the fewest false signals. I did this following the stock market crash of 1987, so I have been happy with the results for more than 30 years.
The stochastic reading covers the past 12 weeks of highs, lows and closes for the stock. There is a raw calculation of the differences between the highest high and lowest low versus the closes. These levels are modified to a fast reading and a slow reading and I found that the slow reading worked the best.
The stochastic reading scales between 00.00 and 100.00 with readings above 80.00 considered overbought and readings below 20.00 considered oversold.
A reading above 90.00 is considered an "inflating parabolic bubble" formation that is typically followed by a decline of 10% to 20% over the next three to five months.
A reading below 10.00 is considered as being "too cheap to ignore" which typically is followed by gains of 10% to 20% over the next three to five months.
Disclosure: The author has no positions in any stocks mentioned and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

In November 2020 the Werribee line was shut down for one week to enable the Level Crossing Removal Authority to work on the removal of the Cherry Street and Werribee Street level crossings in Werribee. However just before the planned reopening date, a "signalling fault" saw the closure extended by one week, and then by a further two weeks, taking the shutdown to a month. So what is the story behind the blowout?
The project
The Cherry Street level crossing is located at the Melbourne end of Werribee station, and heavily used by suburban trains.
It's being replaced by a road-over-rail bridge a short distance to the east.
While at the Geelong end is the far quieter Werribee Street crossing – following the diversion of Geelong trains via Regional Rail Link in 2015, only sees a dozen freight trains each day.
Which is being replaced by three single-track rail-over-road bridges.
Thanks to the alternate route via Tarneit, the pair of broad gauge tracks have been closed to allow the construction of the new bridges, but standard gauge trains on the Melbourne-Adelaide railway have been diverted through the work site via a temporary level crossing.
The November 2020 shutdown
The initial plan was for a week long shutdown.
Werribee line
Buses replacing trains between Laverton and Werribee
Starts: 8:30pm Sunday 29 November 2020
Ends: Last service Sunday 6 December 2020
Buses replace trains between Laverton and Werribee from 8.30pm Sunday 29 November to last train Sunday 6 December, due to Level Crossing Removal works.
Please allow an additional 45 minutes travel time.
With the scope of the work including:
– 325 metre long viaduct over Werribee Street
– East and West lines between Werribee and Manor Junction restored to service
– points no. 9 will be abolished
– commissioning of new signals
– commissioning of axle counter units for primary train detection
Public messaging as late as December 4 advised trains would still return as planned.

But come December 5, the project hit a rough patch.
Buses will continue to replace trains on the Werribee train line for another week following a signal failure.
The signalling fault impacted the boom gates at the Cherry and Werribee streets level crossing on Friday morning, with no injuries or damage reported.
Level Crossing Removal Project works which have been taking place since Sunday and were scheduled to be completed tomorrow, will now be extended to next Sunday with buses replacing trains between Laverton and Werribee.
Freight trains are able to continue running during this time, and will be guided through the level crossings by traffic management.
The Department of Transport says it is working with the ARTC, Metro Trains Melbourne and the Office for the National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR) to investigate the cause of the incident and to stop it from happening again.
Public Transport Victoria gave no reason for the extension in their communications, but Metro Trains did – initially blaming works on the "ARTC freight lines" until they changed it to a generic "equipment fault" message.

A few days later, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau advised they were investigating the incident.
The ATSB is investigating a level crossing irregularity involving freight train 3PM7 at Cherry Street, Werribee, Victoria on 4 December 2020.
At approximately 0825, Pacific National freight train 3PM7 was approaching the Cherry Street level crossing when the train crew noticed that the level crossing protection had not operated. The train was travelling at approximately 40 km/h and emergency braking was applied, bringing the 1400m long train to a stop across the level crossing. A number of cars were observed passing through the crossing just prior to the train's arrival at the crossing. There was no collision or injuries.
And Metro Trains advised staff that the planned signalling changes had been delayed.
The Werribee Street grade separation project works have been deferred and will now apply from 00:05 hours on Monday 14th December 2020.
As late as December 12, the two-week long shutdown was still advertised as ending on the extended date.

The Level Crossing Removal Authority published a media release.
Buses will continue to replace trains on the Werribee line for a further two weeks following a signalling fault that occurred last Friday 4 December in Werribee.
Regular train services are set to now resume Monday 28 December, with buses continuing to replace trains between Laverton and Werribee until last service on Sunday 27 December.
Independent investigators have been working throughout the week to identify the source of the fault. They have advised that further work and testing needs to be carried out to make sure the system is safe.
To allow investigators to access the line, construction work on level crossing removals at Werribee and Cherry streets in Werribee, Old Geelong Road in Hoppers Crossing and Aviation Road in Laverton was stopped following the signal fault.
Werribee line passengers are thanked for their continued patience during this time.
Freight trains are able to continue running during this time and are being guided safely through the level crossings by traffic management.
Public Transport Victoria finally giving a reason for the extension.
Due to an ongoing signalling fault, buses will continue to replace trains on the Werribee line between Laverton and Werribee until last service on Sunday 27 December.

Including on their website.
Werribee line
Buses replacing trains between Laverton and Werribee
Updated: 6:10am Saturday 19 December 2020
Ends: Last service Sunday 27 December 2020
Due to an ongoing signalling fault, buses will continue to replace trains on the Werribee line between Laverton and Werribee until last service on Sunday 27 December.
Level Crossing Removal Project works have been taking place since Sunday 29 November and were scheduled for completion on Sunday 6 December.
To ensure a safe return to train services on the Werribee Line, the disruption has been extended and trains will now resume on Monday 28 December.
December 16 saw another government agency get involved – the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator, advising of a systematic safety issue.
ONRSR is issuing a Safety Alert in response to several recent occurrences where level crossings were incorrectly isolated resulting in trains travelling through unprotected level crossings.
Whilst investigations are continuing it is important industry is made aware of emerging safety critical details.
– On 7 December 2020, a freight train travelled through the Torrens Road Level Crossing in Adelaide without any warning equipment activating.
– On 4 December 2020, a freight train travelled through the Cherry Street Level Crossing in Werribee without any warning equipment activating.
– On 8 January 2019 a passenger train travelled through the Thompson Road Level Crossing in North Geelong without any warning equipment activating.
All three incidents involved level crossings with multiple lines with more than one rail infrastructure manager and required partial isolation of the crossing. The level crossings were to be isolated for some lines but were required to remain operational for other lines.
However, the crossings were mistakenly isolated for the operational lines and workers were unaware of the mistake until the passage of trains through the unprotected crossing. This represents a significant risk to rail safety.
But they still aren't finished!
Metro Trains returned to the Werribee line on the revised date – December 27.
With the temporary level crossing at Werribee Street removed for good in January 2021.
✅ And just like that #45 is gone – for good!
🚆 We've removed the level crossing at Werribee Street, with freight trains now running on the new rail bridge.

— Level Crossings (@levelcrossings) January 30, 2021
But the signalling works were still incomplete.
From 06:00 hours Thursday 24th December 2020, the following interim track and signalling arrangements will come into effect:
• The East and West lines between Werribee and the MTM lease boundary will remained closed to rail traffic. The Absolute Occupation of the East and West lines will remain in force until further notice.
• The East and West lines between Laverton and Werribee will not be available for bi-directional movements. All down trains will be restricted to operate on the East line only, and all up trains will be restricted operate on the West line only.
The result – all rail freight to Geelong and Warrnambool has to be diverted through Tarneit on the Regional Rail Link tracks.
So when will the tracks at Werribee Street be reopened for broad gauge trains? Given that the ribbon has been cut on the level crossing removal, I'm not holding my breath.
And the butterfly effect
Back in April 2019 a woman was struck and killed by a train at the Grenville Street pedestrian crossing on the Sandringham line at Hampton.
Public Transport Victoria reacted by closing the unprotected crossing, until local advocacy saw the decision made to upgrade it instead.
The upgraded crossing will include:
– train-activated warning bells and electronic gates to alert people to oncoming trains
– an improved surface
– ground tactiles to help people who are vision impaired
To date we have completed several key tasks. These include:
– design and planning work to ensure crossing operates safely with surrounding infrastructure
– site preparation works
– installing a custom upgraded surface at the
– new fencing on the approach to the crossing
– asphalt and concreting works
– electrical works and installation of lighting and light poles
The final stage of works due to be completed in December 2020, but the signalling issues at Werribee saw the works deferred, and in a surprising move from Public Transport Victoria, they actually explained the reason *behind* the delays.
Signalling and commissioning works that were planned to occur in early December 2020 could not take place as a signalling fault on the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) freight line, took precedence on the network and the planned works at Grenville Street were delayed.
Signalling works must be thoroughly tested and certified by accredited rail safety experts to ensure the reliability of the crossing and community safety.
The accredited rail safety experts, who specialise in signalling are a limited resource and often work across a number of projects.
The earliest availability of the Metro Trains Melbourne signalling and testing team to complete these final works necessary to open the crossing is in February 2021.
Following these works, the crossing will re-open in February 2021.
With the crossing able to be reopened following a night of works.

So why so complicated?
The signalling at Werribee station is a legacy 'freewired' relay interlocking commissioned way back in 1973.
Interlockings ensure trains can operate safely.
Within a railway signalling system, the so-called "interlocking" is the logic architecture which ensures that the routing of trains and the signals provided to trains provide safe operation of the rail network. Trains are routed through the infrastructure using points, and are controlled and regulated through the infrastructure using signals. The location of trains is detected using track circuits or axle counters or other devices.
Essentially, the interlocking prevents (i.e. locks) a change to the system configuration unless a number of related parameters have the appropriate settings (for example points detected in the correct place, the absence of trains in certain track sections etc.). In particular, the interlocking has a logic architecture which prevents the controller of the infrastructure from allowing two trains to occupy the same piece of track at the same time and allows the controller to regulate and route trains through the infrastructure.
A total of 39 freewired relay interlocking exist on the Victorian rail network, and they're a complicated beast – each containing a web of custom wiring.
"Free wired" relay- based systems started to be introduced in the 1950s. In these systems, a logic circuit is specifically designed for a part of the network. This enables the logic circuit to be optimised for its required functionality and removes redundancy. The system operates very quickly and has inherent parallel operation. One problem with free wired interlockings is they are time consuming to design, install and test, as they are tailored to the specific track layouts they are to serve. So-called "geographical" relay based interlockings were developed in the 1960s in order to resolve some of the problems with free wired systems.
So why did a one week change spiral out of control into a month long shutdown – difficulty making changes to a legacy signalling system, procedural lapses leading to an incident at an active level crossing, or something else altogether?

Rates of interest on pay day loans should be capped in Nevada, after passing of a ballot measure on Tuesday. An average of nationally, payday loan providers charge 400% interest on small-dollar loans.
Nebraska voters national cash advance fees overwhelming thought we would place restrictions on the interest levels that payday loan providers may charge — which makes it the seventeenth state to restrict rates of interest regarding the high-risk loans. But customer advocates cautioned that future defenses pertaining to pay day loans might need to take place during the level that is federal of current alterations in laws.
With 98% of precincts reporting, 83% of voters in Nebraska authorized Initiative 428, which will cap the yearly interest charged for delayed deposit solutions, or payday financing, at 36%. an average of, payday loan providers charge 400% interest in the small-dollar loans nationwide, in accordance with the Center for Responsible Lending, a customer advocacy team that supports expanded legislation associated with industry.
By approving the ballot measure, Nebraska became the seventeenth state in the united states (and the District of Columbia) to make usage of a limit on pay day loans. The overwhelming vote in a situation where four of the five electoral votes is certainly going to President Donald Trump — their state divides its electoral votes by congressional region, with Nebraska's 2nd region voting for previous Vice President Joe Biden — suggests that the problem could garner bipartisan help.
"This just isn't a lefty, out-there, high-regulation state," stated Noel AndrГ©s Poyo, executive Director for the nationwide Association for Latino Community Asset Builders, A latino-owned business advocacy team.
"The folks of Nebraska are instead of average really big about restricting the monetary services industry," Poyo added. "But whenever you ask evangelical Christians about payday financing, they object to it."
Industry officials argued that the ballot measure would impede consumers' use of credit, and stated that the price limit helps it be in a way that loan providers will be unable to work when you look at the state.
"It quantities to eliminating regulated small-dollar credit in hawaii while doing absolutely nothing to fulfill Nebraskans' genuinely real monetary requirements, including amid the COVID-19 pandemic and economic depression," said Ed D'Alessio, executive manager of INFiN, a nationwide trade relationship for the customer monetary solutions industry.
The ballot measure's success in Nebraska could presage efforts that are similar other states. Other states which have capped the interest payday lenders charge in the past few years via ballot measures like Nebraska's include Colorado and Southern Dakota.
"This transcends governmental ideology," said Ashley Harrington, federal advocacy manager during the Center for Responsible Lending. "There is merely something amiss with triple digit rates of interest and trapping individuals in rounds of debt."
The experiences in those continuing states add further support behind initiatives to cap interest on small-dollar loans. In Southern Dakota, the quantity of unsecured and payday alternative loans offered by credit unions, that are susceptible to an 18% and 28% price limit, has exploded dramatically considering that the ballot measure passed away in 2016, research has shown. And polls suggest continued help associated with rate of interest limit on pay day loans among a majority that is vast of Dakotans.
Federal regulators have actually loosened restrictions in the payday financing industry
The interest rates it charges despite the measure's success in Nebraska, changes occurring at the federal level could weaken efforts to regulate the payday-lending industry and cap.
In July, the buyer Financial Protection Bureau issued a brand new guideline rescinding provisions of the 2017 rule that mandated that payday lenders must see whether an individual should be able to repay their loans. Experts regarding the payday industry have actually very long argued that the interest that is high the loans carry cause visitors to belong to financial obligation spirals, whereby they have to borrow brand new loans to repay current pay day loans.
NALCAB, which can be being represented by the Center for Responsible Lending and Public Citizen, filed a lawsuit in federal court the other day up against the CFPB trying to overturn the brand new guideline.
Meanwhile, any office regarding the Comptroller associated with Currency, which regulates nationwide banking institutions, final month finalized the "true lender" guideline. This brand new legislation permits non-bank lenders, such as for example payday loan providers, to partner with banking institutions to provide small-dollar loans. Due to the fact loans is made through the lender, they'd never be susceptible to state-based interest caps. Experts have actually called the brand new legislation a "rent-a-bank" scheme and argue it might harm customers.
"It's maybe maybe maybe not just a loophole, it's a gaping tunnel," Poyo stated, in criticizing the OCC's new legislation.
If Democrat Joe Biden wins the presidential election, their management would take control leadership of both the CFPB as well as the OCC and might rescind these new policies, Poyo stated.
But, Harrington argued that the government that is federal go an action further and create a federal limit on rates of interest. Even though control of Congress continues to be split between Democrats and Republicans, Harrington stated lawmakers should turn to the prosperity of the ballot measures in Nebraska and Southern Dakota as motivation.
"Everyone will be able to get behind safe, affordable customer loans that don't have actually triple-digit rates of interest," Harrington stated.

I saw this meme a few months ago. It shows the difference between what the outside world thinks a stay at home mom does, and then shows what it's really like.
I admit that, until I had kids of my own, I wondered what in the world parents did all day at home with their kids. I thought it was a sweet privilege that people could have the kind of money to make it possible for them to sit at home and do nothing all day.
That meme pretty much summed up exactly what I thought: being home is an extended vacation.
Except, not.
Turns out this was another on the long list of pre-parenthood thoughts and assumptions that were more a reflection of my ignorance than any reality.
The joke is, a parent who stays at home with their children full time is not just a parent.
A Stay At Home Parent is also;
-A teacher
-A principal
-A cook
-A clown
-A housekeeper
-A psychologist
-A tour guide
-A mediator
-A lawyer
-A judge
-A nurse
-A cruise director
And umpteen other roles my mind can't even articulate into a word that fully encompasses the job requirements.
I have now done two maternity leaves, and in between the two, I was a mom who worked outside the home. Juggling shift work and a family was hard. Being effective at work on limited sleep and a whole lot of energy expense when I got home, was hard. Still having my synapses fire and be able to speak in adult speak after coming home and talking 3 octaves higher and in mostly single syllables was a challenge.
But none of that holds a candle to how much harder it is to be a stay at home mom.
As someone who has seen both sides, and admittedly on a limited basis (I had to keep my older child in daycare to both maintain her spot and guarantee my son's), I can say that being a stay at home mom is, by far, the most under-appreciated job on the planet.
It's so under-appreciated that it is most commonly referred to as 'deciding not to go back to work,' as if the fact it's not paid and doesn't involve putting on dress pants some how makes it 'not work.'
If I mess up at at the office, my boss gets mad.
If I mess up at home, I screw up my child!
My boss, when I'm at home, doesn't give me coffee breaks.
He doesn't respect business calls.
He doesn't guarantee me, offer me, or even allow me vacation days.
And sick days? Ha!
He doesn't care how badly I need to go to the bathroom.
If he's in a mood, that's going to be my problem.
If I'm in a mood, that's also going to be my problem.
My boss is a micromanager. Every second of his day better be planned to a T. He needs to be in charge, and he needs my constant attention.
My boss is unpredictable. His mood can go from good to raging mad at the drop of a hat. And he has no higher authority I can complain to when I'm harassed by him.
My boss under-pays me, under-appreciates me, physically and verbally assaults me, throws the meals I prepare for him at my face and on the floor if he disapproves and my scheduled breaks (read: his naps) are at his discretion in both length and frequency and over all consistency.
The biggest difference between the boss at home and the boss at the office is that I love my boss at home with every ounce of my being. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make him happy. Nothing that can be happening, no day that can be full of stress, that his ear to ear 6-tooth smile won't make disappear, even for just a minute.
He is my everything.
And maybe that's why I can say that I'm not cut out to be a stay at home mom. And that that's okay.
Because I acknowledge that it's the hardest job on the planet.
I'm not cut out to be a doctor either. That doesn't mean I'm not going to tend to my kid's cuts and bruises and bumps. But for the big stuff, the stuff that I'm not qualified for? That stuff I'll defer to the professionals. When something is beyond my scope and capabilities, like a serious cut, I wouldn't feel guilty saying 'that cut needs stitches and I don't know how to do them.'
So I won't feel shame in saying that I'm not cut out to be a stay at home mom.
That doesn't mean I love my children any less than parents who do choose to stay at home. It means I love them enough to know that it is not in their interests or mine for me to stay home.
And I also now acknowledge, from meeting lots of amazing moms across this country, staying home wasn't necessarily made possible because of one spouse's massive salary.
Some people make sacrifices, huge sacrifices, to stay at home with their kids. Because it's where their passions are, and what they want to do. Just like other people do to take jobs in other fields that aren't highly paid because they love the work.
Anyone who thinks being a stay at home mom isn't work hasn't done it for even a day.
I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for stay at home moms, not just because of how hard their job is, but because they do it in spite of knowing that most people don't consider it a job at all.
I guess that's what you do when you're passionate about something. You do it in spite of what others think.
And I guess that's also why it's okay for me to say it's not my passion. That it's too hard for me, and not something I'm very good at.
And that doesn't make me a bad parent. It just makes me a not-so-great stay at home mom.
And that's okay.

Christians at risk as Islamists plan major terrorist campaign in Nigeria
July 21st, 2011 Posted in Nigeria, Persecuted church |
From Barnabas Fund
Islamist militant group Boko Haram are stepping up attacks in Northern Nigeria, with churches and Christians among their main targets, ahead of plans to mark the anniversary of their founder's death at the end of the month in a "big way".
The threat comes amid a spate of deadly bomb blasts on churches, police bases, markets, and bars as well as the assassination of Christians, politicians, security personnel and Muslim critics. Boko Haram, which is also known as "the Nigerian Taliban", is fighting to establish an Islamic state in the North.
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, where Boko Haram was formed in 2002, has been worst hit by the violence, which is spreading to other Northern states. The group has carried out at least 20 deadly attacks in Maiduguri since the beginning of the year, forcing the state university to close on 11 July and thousands of people to flee.

Water is the most common solvent the world over, but most solvents don't quench fires; instead they pose fire risks. From glues and cleaners to finishes and fuels, we keep these volatile chemicals for tasks that range from grilling and painting to mowing the grass. The solvent that people keep most at homes across North America? Gasoline.
Solvents can easily catch fire and burn, sometimes explosively. Three conditions must exist simultaneously for that to happen: enough air, an ignition source – a spark or a match, for example – and solvent vapour in a high enough concentration. Lack any one of these factors and no fire occurs. Therefore, storing solvents safely interrupts one or more of these conditions.
The best way to safely keep these chemicals is to have someone else do it: leave them at the hardware store or gas station until absolutely necessary. Buy only what's needed – the smallest paint stripper can for that chair refinishing project – and use it immediately.
For solvents kept on hand, follow a three-tiered plan for safe storage that's easy to remember by thinking, "Safe solvent storage is small, medium and large":
Small: Choose approved, commercially available containers with built-in safety features and warning labels. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent evaporation. Don't use your own containers to store solvents, even temporarily.
Medium: Store solvent containers wisely. A fireproof cabinet with stable shelves that is secured against unauthorized people, children and pets is ideal.
Large: Locate your storage cabinet in a safe environment. The best choice is a temperature-stable, detached garage or shed with no ignition sources like pilot lights and no direct sunlight. Label this area "No Smoking."
Finally, station a fire extinguisher nearby. Some solvents have flash points as low as 38 degrees Celsius, so every extra precaution helps protect against fire.

America's tennis sweetheart, Charlotte "Charlie" Silver, bounced out of Wimbledon with a huge injury. She needs someone to help her ranking climb, and possibly win a major. She finds that someone in the infamous tennis coach, Todd Feltner. Todd decides Charlie needs to completely changer her look and mindset, and turns her into the "Warrior Princess" in order to defeat her foes on and off the court.
What follows is a jet-setting life, going from tournament to tournament, becoming tabloid fodder and possibly finding love, with a crazy coach thrown in the mix. With a trio of delectable men, the tennis superstar, the famous Hollywood actor, and the normal hitting partner, Charlie is in for a wild ride as she attempts to win. But not everything is as it seems, and Charlie might be losing her true self, in order to be the "Warrior Princess" people want her to be.
The Singles Game, by Lauren Weisberger (of The Devil Wears Prada fame) is a delightful summer read that takes you in to the world of tennis, where no one plays by the rules.

The world has long been waiting for Eon Productions, the people behind the James Bond films, to stage a grand unveiling of the director for 007's 25th episode.
These things usually happen in front of hurtling speedboats and roaring helicopters. Instead, the news seems to have emerged in an aside at an event to celebrate something else entirely.
It's Danny Boyle. Most of us thought it would be Danny Boyle. The Mancunian director, best known for Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, let the information slip at a gala screening of his new TV series Trust.
"We are working on a script right now," he said when asked about Bond. "And it all depends on that really. I am working on a Richard Curtis script at the moment. We hope to start shooting that in six or seven weeks. Then Bond would be right at the end of the year. But we are working on them both right now."
The entertainment world has been caught on the hop. But Boyle doesn't seem to be winding anyone up. At the Trust event, he went on to confirm that he was working on the project with his frequent collaborator John Hodge.
"We've got an idea, John Hodge, the screenwriter, and I have got this idea, and John is writing it at the moment," he said. "And it all depends on how it turns out. It would be foolish of me to give any of it away."
Hodge wrote Trainspotting, The Beach and the recent T2 Trainspotting for Boyle.
They will need to get their skates on. The film is due for release in the autumn of 2019. That counts as a tight schedule for a project as complex as a James Bond film.
It has been confirmed that Daniel Craig will, perhaps for the last time, return as the imperial thug, but the producers have yet to settle on a distributor. The deal with Sony, who made fortunes distributing the last few films, expired with Spectre, the 24th episode, and negotiations have been long under way to find a replacement or to renew the old partnership.
Other directors had been mentioned in connection with 007. Denis Villeneuve, director of the recent Blade Runner 2049, and Chris Nolan, Oscar nominated for Dunkirk, have made vaguely positive noises when quizzed.
For a month or two, Yann Demange, who made the excellent Northern Irish thriller '71, seemed to be securely in the sights. But all have other projects on the bubble.
The immensely versatile Boyle always seemed like a more likely choice. He has never disguised his affection for the franchise and, in Trainspotting, he directed one of the great meditations on the Scottishness of Sean Connery's Bond.
"Ursula Andress, the quintessential Bond girl. That's what everyone says," Sick Boy says. "The embodiment of his superiority over us. Beautiful, exotic, highly sexual and totally unavailable to anyone apart from him. Shite!
"Let's face it. If she can shag one punter from Edinburgh, she'd shag the whole lot of us."

Please BEAR With Me
I just realized that I haven't updated my reviews since 2019! I'm working on it right now! Stay tuned!by Donna Notaro from Bear Feet. Submitted Date of Stay:
Lovely Cabin - Great Location
We spent a wonderful week in Gatlinburg at Bear Feet Cabin. The location is great- close to everything but away from the congestion in town. The cabin is spacious, clean and has many amenities. The hot tub on the lower deck was wonderful. It was a nice surprise to find that the community pool is open til Oct. 1st and is only a very short walk from Bear Feet. The cabin is located in a resort community so the cabins are close together but there was still plenty of privacy. After more than 30 years visiting Gatlinburg this was the first trip where we never went into town. We used the bypass to get into the park every day and found so many great places to eat on Hwy 321 that we never felt the need to go into town. Geno's pizza was excellent and it was nice to find that they delivered to the cabin the first night we arrived since we were tired after the trip. A Taste of Italy, The Alamo and El Sonador are all restaurants I would recommend, but our favorite restaurant by far is the Greenbrier. Donna is a wonderful person to work with. She answered every question immediately and does a great job making her guests feel welcome and at home.by Deborah B. from Kettering, OH. Submitted Date of Stay:
This is an beautiful cabin in a very scenic area of the Smokey Mountains
The cabin was more than I expected. I have seen pictures of places and then gone to find it a little less than what the pictures show. This place is an exception. The pictures did not do it justice and the owners were incredibly nice and helpful. Any questions I asked were answered immediately, including good trails to see. The trail suggested by the owner allowed us to see a momma bear and three cubs. I would choose this place to stay every time I go to Gatlinburg. Everything was very close to the cabin as well making the place very convenient the entire trip.by Patrick L. Submitted Date of Stay:
Cozy, Mountainy Cabin that Makes You Feel Like You are Nestled In the Trees
This cabin worked perfectly for us. Game area for playing pool, videos, hand held games, board games. The bedrooms were split up perfectly to allow for that little bit of extra privacy everyone needed. Having three decks was very nice, some enjoyed the hot tub, some the star watching while listening for bears and owls and others the porch swings. So no matter your mood or where you were with energy there was a place just for each of us when we wanted it. Our four grandkids loved the game room, especially the pool table. AND YAY! internet bandwidth to accommodate everyone. The kitchen was clean and well equipped, we didn't need anything that we didn't readily find in the kitchen. We loved the restaurant options to much to cook but if we had wanted to the kitchen and dining room would have provided everything needed to have a very nice evening in. We took in all of the major attractions and most of the minor attractions. Donna went out of her way to provide exceptional information for the area and even coupons for us. Dollywood was a big hit with everyone with the Dixie Stampede running a close second. For those of us who knew and loved the Opryland Park in Nashville, Dollywood brings back some of those great memories. We try to take a vacation once a year that includes our kids and grandkids. This one will go down as one of our favorite family vacations and one we will want to repeat. When we were packing to leave everyone was already saying "we HAVE do this one again". We hope you have as much fun as we did, Best Wishes from the Hancock's.
P.S. Donna was absolutely amazing! She was more than on top of everything. She seemed able to sense our needs and address them before we even asked. She was a pleasure to deal with all the way through. She was so efficient we never had the opportunity to speak to anyone else. Just perfect.by Darlene H. Submitted Date of Stay:
Great cabin, great view!
This cabin was the perfect size for us to meet with kids and grands for the Thanksgiving Holiday. The huge table seats ten and was the perfect place for all the board games the kids brought and for family meals. We also enjoyed the cheerful Christmas decorations and the kids loved playing in the huge hot tub. The owner was available to answer all questions quickly and help was sent for the two very minor issues. I highly recommend Bear Feet Cabin! :)by Debbie & Bruce O. Submitted Date of Stay:

Mixed Contracts for the Newsvendor Problem with Real Options

In this paper we consider the newsvendor model with real options. We consider a mixed contract where the retailer can order a combination of q units subject to the conditions in a classical newsvendor contract and Q real options on the same items. We provide a closed form solution to this mixed contract when the demand is discrete and study some of its properties. We also offer an explicit solution for the continuous case. In particular we demonstrate that a mixed contract may be superior to a real option contract when a manufacturer has a bound on how much variance she is willing to accept.
