I went into Vegas (about 60 miles) planning to hit the Tuesday morning stores, but only went to one. Oh well. I the decided to go to the only quilting store in Vegas that I had not checked out yet. I had heard they were closing, but not sure when.
I guess it is soon, because there was not a whole lot left. In fact this Thursday she is closing out all her fabric for only 2 bucks a yard !
Today, everything was half price. And this is all the good stuff. So anyway, I got one yard each of four different pieces. I also got three fat quarters and a set of Asian chubby eighths. (19 in all !) I also got a sports quilt pattern for my daughter. Then I found several ruler/tools that I had to have. One is a 45 degree triangle 8" size. and two Cut a Rounds. One makes 6 to 19 inch diameter circles and one makes 19 to 30 inch diameter circles. The owner said she uses hers for all kinds of crafts as well as quilting. She said there are instructions with that tell you how to make set in circles , and that it is not hard at all. We'll see about that, LOL. I got this huge haul for just over 60 bucks !

of course, there's always something to fall in love with: asexual perspectives on pop culture and much more.

Because It Was There
An AVEN member got me thinking about Chris McCandless, the real-life subject of the book (by Jon Krakauer) and movie Into the Wild. Chris literally gave up everything to realize his dream of living alone in the Alaska wilderness. Some parts of the story definitely imply that Chris was disinterested in sex. But we'll never know why, as his drive to go to Alaska obviously eclipsed all else.
Mountainsexuals also appeared in another Krakauer book, Into Thin Air. Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but people's quotes about mountain climbing sound like accounts of sexual desire cranked to 11, or romantic love in its most passionate throwes. Krakauer says that "attempting to climb Everest is an intrinsically illogical act-- a triumph of desire over sensibility." (Introduction). Check out some other quotes he uses in the book:
The more improbable the situation and the greater the demands made on [the climber], the more sweetly the blood flows later in release from all that tension. --A. Alvarez (95)
But I couldn't say no. For in my heart, I needed to go, and the pull of Everest was stronger for me than any force on earth. --Tenzing Norgay (115)
How much of the appeal of mountaineering lies in its simpllification of interpersonal relationships, its reduction of friendship to smooth interaction (like war), its substitution of an Other (the mountain, the challenge), for the relationship itself? --David Roberts (188)
When I read Roberts' quote and its paralleling of mountaineering to war, I couldn't help but think of that old article in The Sexually Opressed. In the article on asexual women, there was one footnote on asexual men, in which combat, and Vietnam in particular, was called "an escape hatch" for men who "wanted nothing to do with any kind of sex". I found that pretty dern interesting.
Comparing mountaineering to sexuality might seem like a stretch. But if one asexual goal is to broaden the idea of what excites us most, I think the experiences of people like mountainsexuals could be cool to explore. They are also my response to the "You're missing out!" people. Some folks, when confronted with an asexual, suddenly get defensive and make sex out to be the most important thing in the world. But if Mount Everest is what turns your gears beyond all else, who's really going to argue with that? Nikola Tesla, rumored to be ace by some, was probably a mountainsexual too, but with electrical currents instead of peaks.
"All told" (as Krakauer loves to say), I might still be sick, as my brain feels like a Swiss cheese. It might be up to you to decide how much sense this all makes...

Coming out as asexual is awkward enough since most people don't know what it means. Just imagine trying to come out as mountainsexual. I mean, you think we get asked weird questions...

Dude, I think you really hit on something when you said that telling people about asexuality suddenly makes them all defensive about sex. I am not asexual, but there are definitely days when I think about how much more I could get done if I was. There are some real advantages to being able to focus on other things and not get distracted by sex.
Mountainsexuals definitely seem real to me. Aerobasexuals also seem likely. There are some people who just seem to get so much out of their aerobics exercises that they just can't stop! ;)

I agree with ily on the funny is easier to say than the serious.

Hee hee...I think I might have to write a post about this time management issue, SQ, because I've really heard it mentioned so many times...even though I'm ace, I'm awesome at getting absolutely NOTHING done. I think the adage that "busy people get more done" is true, whether they're sexual or not. Sure, I'm not distracted by sex, but I'm distracted by ridiculous things like Failblog or reruns of Family Guy. Aiiee! Actually, I'm pretty sure I have written a post about this, but I can't remember.

Hi Ily,
I've been reading your blog for a couple of days nows and I'm really enjoying it :)
I totally agree with you that asexuals can still be unproductive. As shown by the fact that I am reading your blog at work. And now I have Failblog to read as well. I'd never heard of it before today :D (now I have a replacement for the work-blocked Icanhascheezburger)
Though I have to tell you that things are not looking good for our favourite Kiwi tv asexual. His mother has suggested he has Asperger syndrome because of his aversion to sex and his domestic nature. Luckily it is obvious that Gerald and Morgan think she is talking nonsense.

Heh, as a birder/bird watcher/bird person, I always got those snorts of "so, you like, do birds?" to which I could honestly answer "pff, no, but I don't do mammals, either." Threw 'em off a bit, I suppose. We could just be nonphilic? But love isn't the same as sex, so nevermind. Birdsexual is just all wrong though...
- August 27, 2008 at 6:26 PM
- Ily said...
Thanks, Gemma! You know, I wouldn't mind if Gerald was made an Aspie from the beginning, but he doesn't have ANY Aspie traits whatsoever. Hopefully that's just his mom's ignorance and not that of the writers. I started watching some of the more recent clips, and Gerald begins to take things too seriously! That's not good! (But I guess it's par for the soap opera course.)
And Heidi, yeah, I didn't think so far as non-human but still animate interests...
- August 27, 2008 at 8:45 PM
I think you're definitely onto something here, first of all with the observation that passion can be pointed at all sorts of things other than sex, but also that nature is quite often one of those other things. The Krakauer examples are great, but the first time I ever really started to think about that idea of passion=sexuality was with Timothy Treadwell, (aka Grizzly Man.) If you've ever seen the documentary, you'll know that he identified as straight and had a girlfriend, but his sexual identity was clearly shaky (he went on long rambles about not being gay) but mostly, just the way he acted with those dang bears... you knew he had found his life's love.
- August 28, 2008 at 7:42 AM
- Superquail said...
Yeah, but did you see what those grizzlies did to him at the end? Maybe there was some bad touch.

Leonard Sachs and Lainy LeBow-Sachs have turned their world outside-in.
The renovations and additions to the Baltimore power couple's Reisterstown home make it ideal not only for entertaining large groups, but for entertaining birds, too.
Fond of plants and flowering shrubs as well, Leonard commissioned a solarium that defies Mid-Atlantic winters.
And the flagstone that was once the exterior of the house is now part of the study and den and informal dining area, giving the house a rustic, masculine quality.
"It is the perfect place to come home to," said Lainy, who works as an executive vice president at the Kennedy Krieger Institute.
The couple has been married for almost half of the 47 years Leonard has lived here, and the house has gone through a number of major renovations and additions.
"The house has seen a lot of different lives," said Jay Jenkins, the interior designer for three of the most important rooms in the house for the couple: the kitchen, the solarium and the first-floor master bedroom.
"It is a labor of love for them. A lot of very talented people have brought their best efforts, and every job has been very complementary."
The first-floor bedroom is surrounded on two sides by large windows that look out on a cluster of birdhouses and bird feeders and birdbaths. The couple can lie in bed in the light-filled room and, if they are very still, they can watch a variety of birds arrive, eat, bathe and depart.
"We fill the feeders every Monday," Lainy said. "And in the morning, we lay in bed and watch the birds."
"You have to be very still," said Leonard. "They notice any movement in the house." Netting surrounds the bird sanctuary to keep out cats and other predators. And it is planted with an abundance of flowering shrubs and wisteria to attract the birds.
"We worked to make it a comfortable, cleaner place," said Jenkins. "Interacting with the outdoors is very important to both of them."
Doors on either side of the bed in this bright room lead to long, narrow, his-and-hers bathrooms, very modern, practical and luxurious. "We can meet in the middle," Lainy said, laughing.
The second floor, where all the original bedrooms are located, now serves as the pied-a-terre for the couple's blended family: five children and nine grandchildren.
And the kitchen, with family pictures everywhere, is more than up to the task of feeding the crew — or 200 guests at a fundraiser. The Sachses are prominent patrons of the arts in Baltimore as well as civic causes. Leonard Sachs chaired the restoration of Penn Station and commissioned the signature "Man/Woman" sculpture out front.
Also designed by Jenkins and partner Alexander Baer, the kitchen has gleaming Mexican tile floors and counters, part of an expansion that created a cozy den at one end and a huge farm-style dining area at the other end, both next to the cooking area.
"I used to do a lot more cooking. I even made my own bread" said Lainy, the longtime aide to the late Gov. William Donald Schaefer. "When I stop working, I will go back to cooking."
"The den is a little fall and winter place to go," said Jenkins. "The scale is more intimate, the colors deeper and darker, and a fireplace."
The couple used to do a great deal of traveling, too, and mementos abound. Lainy has a collection of tiny Limoges boxes, of whimsical teakettles, of paperweights and of elephants.
The art on display also reflects the couple's travels and is a dynamic mix of bold colors and geometric designs.
"I buy what I appreciate," said Leonard, when asked about his interests in art. "I like color, shapes. I like the free-ness of the colors. The pieces just suited us."
He and Lainy have safaried in Africa and biked in Switzerland, France and Holland. They have hiked in Alaska and the Canadian Rockies and visited China, Russia and Norway, and gone white-water rafting in Yellowstone. They will be married 20 years this May.
Life has slowed for both, and now their favorite destination is the solarium Leonard adores. It extends from what used to be the front of the house down toward the pool. Glass-enclosed and with an irrigation/sprinkler system, the in-ground garden is planted with orchids and a variety of green and flowering plants and is gently lit from the rafters above at night to magical effect.
"If someone sends me a plant, we find a place for it," said Leonard, who has also taken up painting. "Even in winter, I am surrounded by flowers and plants."
"Leonard wanted to make it a place that was more appropriate for Lainy to be with him," Jenkins said of the space. There are a desk, a computer work station, a television and a beautifully rendered model of the Pride of Baltimore, on which he had the privilege of sailing.
On display in the solarium is the flag that draped Schaefer's coffin, presented to Lainy after the services, which she coordinated. But it was clearly Leonard's space before the changes.
"She wanted to be there with him," said Jenkins. "Our job was to make the room a more special place for the two of them to spend time together."
On the coffee table are heavily annotated bird books, with colored strips marking pages covering birds they have seen outside the windows of their home.
"So many different kinds," said Lainy. "Sometimes we can't find them in any of our books. But they are here for us."
Leonard Sachs and Lainy LeBow-Sachs have turned their world outside-in.

Steak Near Me
In European medieval ages, steaks were only served for kings and nobles and nowadays, America is the largest steak consumption country. Its typical types include Tender Loin, Rib-Eye, Sirloin, and T-bone. Many of us are trying to eat healthily, and we are adding more fruits and vegetables to our menu, but we ignore the basic nutrition our body needs. While red meat contains an amount of fat, it also provides rich protein, vitamins, and minerals and thus steak makes an important portion of a healthy diet.

Scenes from Cochon 555, NYC
GalleryScenes from Cochon 555, NYC
Note: Slideshow has photos of pig butchering. Click accordingly.
Not everything is better with bacon. Or pork belly, for that matter. As the palates of the food-focused have developed towards devouring nose-to-tail and farm-to-table menus have swept to Brooklyn's furthest shores, appreciation sometimes turns to misuse.
But Brady Lowe of Cochon 555 is looking to change that, connecting heritage breed hogs with master chefs to educate us on how to use the entire animal with reverence and respect.
Last night we hit Cochon 555 at Pier 60, with local chefs Missy Robbins (A Voce), Leah Cohen (Pig & Khao), Alex Guarnaschelli (Butter), Shanna Pacifico (Back Forty West), Elizabeth Faulkner (Krescendo), and Sue Torres (Suenos) providing full menus utilizing the whole hog. Each chef was given a heritage breed pig that they butchered, cured, smoked, and confited into menus highlighting their personal styles.
While a healthy crowd toured their way through the tables, Sara Bigelow of The Meat Hook took apart an entire Berkshire hog from Percy Thomson Meadows in Bethlehem, Connecticut. Five wineries offered vintages that paired well with the sweet and salty pork dishes, and a friendly "Punch Kings" competition brought Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey to center stage. A bourbon bar, cheese bar, and Chupito bar made sure that there was plenty to feast upon and imbibe.
While all chefs brought stellar plates (way above and beyond what you normally get for your buck at tasting events), Missy Robbins' team from A Voce took home first prize. Her Italian-focused menu incorporated pine nuts, dried grapes, whipped cotechino, and, of course, pasta to win over the crowd.

OCEAN CITY – A familiar face in Ocean City made his retirement speech this week as he makes his move from working behind the scenes to getting out and enjoying what Ocean City is all about.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
On Tuesday afternoon, Council Secretary Mary Knight presented Special Events Coordinator John "Sully" Sullivan with a proclamation and key to the city for dedicating 14 years of service the Town of Ocean City.
He has played an integral role in the Recreation and Parks Special Events Department where his skill and experience have been instrumental in the overall success, Knight read from the proclamation.
"We got Sully in an interesting way," Knight recalled. "He is a retired Colonel from the army where he served for 30 years and when he interviewed with then City Manager Dennis Dare, he was very impressed because Sully was in charge of the 50th anniversary of V Day, and after three years of planning, the event went off spectacularly. He brought that skill set to this city."
Knight personally felt Sullivan's most significant accomplishment was the OC Air Show that has brought millions of people to Ocean City in the past six years.
"On a personal note, there is nothing grander than going to a black tie event, in a lovely gown, and being approached by an ex-colonel of the army and him dancing with you to the most beautiful foxtrot and dipping you without dropping you," Knight said.
Councilman Dennis Dare, who hired Sullivan in 1999, remembered when he interviewed him he thought to himself how this man arranged for the president to be on the beach in Normandy and now he wanted to work for Ocean City in special events.
"Now 14 years later … Sully, I want to wish you the best and thank you for your service," Dare said.
Sullivan took the time to thank many people from the Mayor and City Council to each department and its staff individually.
"I have really enjoyed working for the city for the past 14 years. It has gone by too quickly but it has been such a wonderful time," he said.
Sullivan thanked Dare personally for giving him a chance.
"I also want to thank you for creating such a wonderful working environment for all city employees," he said to Dare. "You maintained that since the first time I met you and it just makes it a pleasure to come to work every day, and it has been a delight to work for the 'Double D'."
Sully thanked the Mayor and City Council for their support of special events over the years.
"Even more so, I want to thank you for the truly outstanding employee benefits that we enjoy," he said. "It is my humble opinion that these benefits keep our families together. Please keep those benefits the way they are."
Sully went on to thank the recreation department and his special events team, parks division, public works, the police department, fire marshal's office and fire department.
"Finally I want to thank the residents of Ocean City and our many guests who have supported Springfest, Sunfest, Art's Alive, July 4th, Concerts on the Beach, Sundaes in the Park, the Sunset Park Party Nights, Winterfest of Lights and all of the private events," Sully said. "It has been our goal to create … a positive Ocean City memory for you so that you will return again and again, and you have. Thank you. In closing, I wish all of you every joy and blessing and I hope to see you soon on the Boardwalk or on the beach."

Here are links to five articles that I've found to be interesting and helpful reading.
Achievement, expectations, humility, service, success & the will of God: God's Not Looking for Heroes
"We don't all need to be heroes. Jesus is the Hero. The Hero came 2000 years ago. So He's already the Hero. He's not looking for heroes, He's looking for co-laborers. The challenge is, most people want to be co-stars, not co-laborers. If you actually understood what it was to be a co-laborer, you could labor wherever you are."
America, culture, individualism, materialism, nationalism, patriotism, values & war: American Values Are Not Necessarily Christian Values
"… [there can be] no excuse for conflating country and church. We can appreciate and even respect the nation in which we reside, but we must not forget that our status is as foreigner and exiles. (1 Peter 2:11)"
American Sniper, cinema, deception, distortion, evil, film, movies & payback: Clint Eastwood's Sniper, and the American Messiah [essential reading]
"This is the problem with the white-hat black-hat narrative of Hollywood: when 'they' do what 'we' do (though 'they,' of course, poor saps, are just not as efficient in their killing as 'we' are) it is evil, but when Americans do it, it is heroic. Eastwood's Kyle insists he is doing what he does because he does not want terrorists in our neighborhoods here. Yet he participates in the invasion of a country that had nothing to do with 9/11; a country who was headed by, no doubt, a despot but a despot who had furthered his hold on power by the support of our own country; and when those people fight back because they don't want foreign invaders in their streets, it's 'evil' like Eastwood's Kyle has never yet imagined."
Anger, bitterness, forgiveness, hatred & resentment: A Holocaust Survivor, Spared From Gas Chamber By Twist Of Fate
"Anger doesn't get you anyplace. Hate doesn't get you anyplace."
Attention span, authority, church, commitment, Facebook & social media: 5 Ways Facebook May be Harming Your Church
"What effect does 'social media' technology have on the way we view church? What effect does it have on the way we conceive of life in the body of Christ?"


text: Jamie Lee Curtis was on Oprah yesterday to discuss aging and being the naked cover girl of the current issue of baby-boomer magazine AARP. Curtis says she's over fighting the aging process — she openly admits to the plastic surgery she's had in the past — saying it's futile, and that once she dropped all the bullshit nonsense about looking and dressing the part, she finally felt free. It sounds a little self-help-y, but it was also kinda inspiring to hear someone famous go on such a huge show as Oprah and talk about her disdain for the fashion and advertising industries, because of what they do to women's minds. Clip above.

Obama, Boehner head for stalemate on tax cuts
Updated: 2:56 p.m. ET
Setting the stage for a contentious debate over reducing the nation's deficit, President Obama today drew a clear line in the sand about the extent to which he will compromise in order to get a congressional deal on deficit reduction, insisting that while he is "open to new ideas" and "committed to solving our fiscal challenges," he will reject any approach that does not involve a tax increase on America's highest-income families.
The president, speaking from the East Room of the White House to an audience made up partly of middle-class Americans, stressed his commitment to pursuing a bipartisan approach in tackling the so-called "fiscal cliff," a combination of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to go into effect January 2013 that, left untended, threatens to plunge the U.S. economy back into recession.
"The American people voted for action, not politics as usual. You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours," he said. "In that spirit," Mr. Obama said, he has invited leaders from both parties, as well as business, labor and civic leaders from across the country, for a dialogue on staving off what many believe is an impending fiscal crisis.
The Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire at the end of the year, and January 1, 2013 also marks the day when $1.2 trillion worth of budget cuts, which cut across domestic programs and the Pentagon, begin to go into effect unless Congress can reach a deal to offset them. On the same day, a payroll tax cut will expire, as will a deferment of payment cuts to Medicare physicians.
"Our top priority has to be jobs and growth. That's the focus of the plan that I talked about during the campaign," said Mr. Obama. But, in a direct challenge to House Republicans, he rejected the idea of extending the Bush-era tax cuts for Americans with incomes of over $250,000 per year.
"I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas. I'm committed to solving our fiscal challenges," he said. "But I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced. I am not going to ask students and seniors and middle-class families to pay down the entire deficit while people like me, who are making over $250,00 a year, aren't asked to pay a dime more in taxes. I'm not going to do that."
Publicly, House Speaker John Boehner has signaled an openness to working with the president and Democrats in forging a deal to avert going over the fiscal cliff, stressing that Republicans want to "rise above the dysfunction, and do the right thing together for our country in a bipartisan way."
But in his first press conference following Mr. Obama's re-election, Boehner, too, drew a firm line on the issue of tax cuts. Even while suggesting the Republicans would be open to some increases in revenue, he rejected the notion outright that such money could be brought in via any form of tax hike, immediately setting Democrats and Republicans up for another bitter fight over an issue that has dogged them for years now.
Boehner reiterated his position shortly before Mr. Obama's speech, noting that Republicans want to avert the fiscal cliff without raising any taxes and "in a manner that ensures that 2013 is finally the year that our government comes to grips with the major problems that are facing us." Next year, he argued, "should be the year we begin to solve our debt through tax reform and entitlement reform."
Mr. Obama appears ready to call that bluff, suggesting that his re-election serves as a mandate from the public to carry out his calls to permanently suspend some of the Bush tax cuts. Following the president's remarks, his office reiterated that he would veto a bill to extend those cuts on incomes above $250,000.
"I just want to point out, this was a central question during the election. It was debated over and over again. And on Tuesday night we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach," said Mr. Obama. "That includes Democrats, independents and a lot of Republicans across the country, as well as independent economists and budget experts. That's how you reduce the deficit, with a balanced approach."
The president's next task, as he acknowledged, is to get a Republican-led Congress to comply with his wishes.
"Our job now is to get a majority in Congress to reflect the will of the American people. I believe we can get that majority. I was encouraged to hear Speaker Boehner agree that tax revenue has to be part of this equation. So I look forward to hearing his ideas when I see him next week," said Mr. Obama, declining to acknowledge that Boehner has already rejected his approach in two separate news conferences.
Democrats, however, seem to think that House Republicans will cave.
"Boehner wants to compromise; that's why he gave that speech," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told MSNBC, of his first press conference. "He's not a hard-right guy, he's a mainstream conservative ... and I think it's going to help because the hard right is chastened in a lot of ways."
Even so, economists fear a prolonged stalemate on tackling the fiscal cliff could lead to major setbacks for the U.S. economy.
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, inaction on the fiscal cliff could have devastating consequences to the nation's fragile growth: Its analysts warn that a prolonged deadlock could hike the unemployment rate back up to 9.1 percent by next fall, and that that preventing the defense cuts would alone save 40,000 jobs. Meanwhile, the White House lists more than 1,200 government programs that would be subject to cuts if the sequester goes into effect, in which case the number of U.S. food inspectors will go down, FEMA will be subject to cuts, and the FAA's budget will shrink.
On Friday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnelly, R-Ky., backed Boehner up, declaring in a statement that "there's no consensus on raising taxes."
"While I appreciate and share the President's desire to put the election behind us, the fact is we still have yet to hear an actual plan from the President for addressing the great economic challenges we face," said McConnell. "Now that the election is over, the American people expect a plan that reduces spending, reforms the entitlement system, and puts us on a path to ending our chronic annual deficits--without harming an already fragile economy."

Wave Band Ring // 5mm Wedding Band
Wave Band Ring // 5mm Wedding Band
This ring was inspired by musings on quantum physics.
Available in your choice of 10k, 14k, and 18k gold (yellow, rose, or white), as well as Palladium 950.
Recycled gold material
Band is 5mm wide, by 2mm thick
The percentage of pure gold affects the color of the metal. Please inquire within about coloration considerations.
This ring is made to order in your size. Please allow up to 3-6 weeks for shipment. Rush orders possible, please read details below.
The ring as photographed has a brush finish, with a polish on the inside of the band.
Ring Dimensions:
● 5mm width
● 1.5 mm Thickness
Metal Options:
14k Yellow and Rose Gold:
14k gold is 58.3% pure gold, and 41.7% other metals to alloy for a more durable product. 14k Yellow has a traditional yellow that most people are familiar with, but not as rich as 18k or 22k that contains more pure gold. Rose gold contains copper alloys to create the pinkness that is so unique to it.
18K Yellow and Rose gold:
18k gold is 75% pure gold, and 25% other metal alloy. This creates a warmer, richer yellow than 14k. Very durable, has an extra fine color quality when seen on the hand.
Palladium is a precious metal with some commonalities of platinum, but more affordable. It is a white metal, but has a bit of a blueish tone that makes the metal look cooler than other white metals. Rarely causes allergic reaction, nickel free, and is very durable. Excellent option for wedding or engagement rings.
About Moissanite:
Moissanite is a lab created gemstone that is near colorless, extremely durable, with a brilliance that can even outshine diamond. It has become a great alternative to diamond in that it offers a lower price point than comparable diamonds in size, and does not depend on the traditional mining methods that have been roiled in controversy. It is created from Silicon Carbide, a rare mineral found in meteors and stardust. Charles & Colvard are the leading manufacturer of synthetic moissanite, and have perfected a gemstone that has a hardness of 9.25, proving to be only topped by diamond on the hardness scale. To learn more about Moissanite, please visit the website of Charles and Colvard: http://www.charlesandcolvard.com/moissanite.
Are other center stones possible? Yes! Please message me with your idea. I offer Moissanite to reduce the current industry mining impact. Other hard stones are ideal for use in an everyday ring, such as diamond and sapphire. Ethical, fairly mined stone sources are possible for these designs.
Lead Time, shipping , and giving back:
*Please Read- info below about Lead time and shipping time before ordering*
● Lead Time: Please allow up to 3-6 weeks for completion of your ring. Please message me for a specific date you are thinking about if it sounds close. Rush fabrication is possible, charges will apply to expedite creation and delivery. Inquire within.

Shop local this holiday season
When you spend your hard-earned money, take a second to think about those local merchants offering their products and services. They are part of our community, your friends and neighbors, and deserve your support.
The Examiner and Clear Channel Media + Entertainment have teamed up to support our hometown businesses with a campaign called 'Think Southeast Texas FIRST!" that runs to Dec. 26. The combined newspaper and radio campaign now in its third week features promotional material that emphasizes the "Buy Local!" with in-store registration at participating merchants to win a $250 gift certificate from that store. In all, $5,000 in gift certificates will be given away.
Here are three more merchants helping bring this important message to the community.
Calder Avenue is one of the original grand concourses in Beaumont, once home to many stately mansions some of which survive today. Now a thriving group of small businesses are scattered along a stretch of more than two miles amidst the St. Elizabeth Hospital campus and the various medical supply stores, auto repair shops and law offices. Here you will find a delightful assortment of boutiques; antique emporiums offering everything from shabby chic to high-dollar European imports; home decor; jewelry stores; gift shops; and eclectic shops where you can find everything from rare books to kits to brew your own beer and wine.
These merchants are teaming up to show their wares at a daylong extravaganza they are calling "Christmas on Calder." Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., you can come stroll the avenue or just stop in to check out the stores. Sample the wares from Rao's Bakery, a Beaumont tradition since 1941, to the essential Tex-Mex of Tacos La Bamba, to the Logon Café, which promises to feature live music throughout the day along with their signature deli sandwiches, burgers, desserts, coffees and drinks.
Participating stores include Cathy Cook Jewelry, Tattered Suitcase, French Vanilla Market, PRN, Wallpaper Etc., Laura Belles, Joy Shop, Ella n Scott, Burns Antik Haus, Balimports, Southern Oaks Dental, Ellis Pottery, Rao's Bakery, Park Avenue Cleaners, Tacos La Bamba, Tintworks, Logon Café, Heartfield Jewelry, The Brew Shop and Book Bazaar.
Cathy Cook of Cathy Cook Jewelry and Nina Marks of French Vanilla Market have recently opened their businesses on Calder and thought Christmas would be a great opportunity to showcase what the neighborhood has to offer. The result is the Christmas on Calder event.
"I'm excited to be a shop on Calder," enthused Cook. "I think the businesses on the avenue have something exciting to offer all the residents of Southeast Texas. We invite the community to come on Dec. 14 and do some holiday shopping."
Stay tuned to The Examiner and the December issue of the Beaumont Business Journal for more details, and mark Dec. 14 on your calendar.
For Dr. Ashley DeMarco, coming to Beaumont to open Gulfside Dental was a return to her roots. Her mother grew up here, attending St. Anne Catholic School and French High School, and Ashley would spend summers with her grandmother here.
Gulfside Dental opened in a gleaming, modern storefront office in the Barnes & Noble Shopping Center in September 2012 and saw 4,000 patients in its first year. When you visit Gulfside Dental, your smile is their top priority. Their entire team is dedicated to providing you with the personalized, gentle care that you deserve in a relaxing atmosphere with a commitment to serving their patients including providing information that helps them to make more informed decisions about their oral health and ways to maintain their teeth and gums.

In Parkdale Mall just across from Books-a-Million is a shop that is bringing cutting edge fashion and high style to Southeast Texas at the Apricot Lane Boutique.
Sun Johnson and Randle Cole are the mother/son team behind Apricot Lane Beaumont. This dynamic duo merges their experience in the retail industry and penchant for entrepreneurship to bring Southeast Texas this premier fashion destination.
An opportunity to purchase a friend's retail business initiated their search for other alternatives. The mission was to find a franchise that highlighted exceptional customer service while providing premium brands. After exploring options, Apricot Lane emerged as the ideal place where Sun could highlight her retail knowledge and Randle could fulfill his passion for business management.
"We wanted to bring something unique to Beaumont – offering the leading high-fashion brands at affordable prices," said Cole. "We specialize in quality products with a fierce fashion sense from 7FAMK, Miss Me, Rock Revival, Big Star, Vintage Havana and BB Dakota."
Cole, who attended Nederland High School and Lamar University, understands there is a place in this regional market for celebrity-inspired fashions with the quality you'd expect from designer labels. Together with Johnson, he has transformed this franchise store into something more than that: a unique fashion emporium that defines a style. Their core audience is women age 25 to 50, but in reality their product line has definite appeal to sophisticated female shoppers of any age.
Their boutique also features the latest in trendy jewelry and accessories. Check out their Facebook page at Apricotlanebeaumont.
They invite you to stop into Apricot Lane Beaumont today and experience a true shopping treat. They'll not only assist you with celebrity-inspired looks. They'll give you the red carpet treatment each time you visit.
Apricot Lane Boutique is in Parkdale Mall. Call (409) 924-9741 or visit www.apricotlanebeaumont.com.
These fine merchants join the group we have presented the last two weeks – Sew-N-Sew's in Mid County, Serendipity Chicks in Bridge City, Charles S. Nacol Jewelry Co. in Beaumont, Mike Smith Tire Pros in Lumberton, the Purple Door in Beaumont and Cathy Cook Jewelry in Vidor and Beaumont – offer their goods and services to their friends and neighbors as we urge you, when making purchasing decisions, to think Southeast Texas first.

After all, Jamaicans swept the 200 today with Yohan Blake (19.44) and Warren Weir (19.84) finishing second and third, respectively, behind Bolt's 19.32 seconds.
Four years from now, when Rio hosts the 2016 Games, Bolt will be 29.
So, can we call it early? Is Usain Bolt the greatest track athlete ever?
"I've got nothing left to prove," he said Thursday, Reuters reported. "I've showed the world I'm the best. This is my moment. I'll never forget this. I did what I wanted. I came out of a rough season and did what I had to do."
OK, but he's biased.
History would suggest Bolt, 25, still has some lofty goals ahead of him.
Two men in particular, can argue for their place ahead of Bolt (to make it simple, for now at least, lets debate the men).
Bolt is still four gold medals shy of American Carl Lewis, for starters.
Lewis embraced both track AND field which makes him an endearing figure.
Not only did he win back-to-back 100s (1984, 1988 thanks to Ben Johnson), but he won the Olympic long jump in four consecutive Games (1984 to 1996).
He ended his long, Olympic career with 10 medals. The lone silver came in the 200 at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
The other athlete with a claim on the greatest on the track is Paavo Nurmi.
The Flying Finn also has nine gold medals and 12 overall.
Nurmi was a distance runner from a different era, so it's difficult to handicap his accomplishments.
However, winning six gold medals at the 1924 Paris Games certainly seems unbeatable.
Nurmi won events like the 1,500, 5,000 and 10,000 meters – all events still held today.
Yet, he also won the individual and team cross country golds, and the team 3,000, none of which exist anymore.
What you can't argue with is Nurmi's world records. Throughout his career, he set and reset 22 world records in 16 different events.
They ranged from the dependable 1,500 to the long-forgotten one-hour race.
But, hey, maybe one day Bolt's events will become passe. That's why those connected to the Games are waiting for Bolt's career to conclude before cementing his place in history.
"Let him participate in three, four games, and he can be a legend," IOC president Jacques Rogge said in The Washington Post. "Already he's an icon."

I'm not sure how much good this would do in a staggered stud wall, as there
aren't really any isolated cavities- it's all one big air pocket.

Kind of funny- my target STC is "as much as possible," just because it makes
sense to build as tight as I can in the beginning. I'm not going crazy,
because I've got three neighbors I can see, and only one I can hit with a rock.
They've been OK with my band practicing in the original part of the building,
with 24" OC 2x4 walls with 1/2" ply on one side and 1/4" lauan on the other.

Williard E. Stone PROFESSOR UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
Abstract: There seems to have been little change in financial statements from Grammateus to 1911. This article contains a 1911 practice set which was used to teach transaction accounting as well as trial balance and statement prepara-tion along the lines described in the previous article.
Just after editing the Inoue manuscript translating the 1521 ac-counting text of Grammateus, a practice set from 1911 was given to me for Christmas. It had been purchased in Miller Falls, Massa-chusetts and was titled Modern Illustrative Bookkeeping (Introduc-tory Course). The student, Mary R. McGlynn, had completed sam-ple transactions for two different business organizations for the years 1911 and 1912. The instructor, F. W. Morrill, stamped his ap-proval and its date on each assignment. The text used is not known but all the vendors and customers which the practice set businesses dealt with were located in small towns in central Massachusetts. Each practice set ended with a balanced trial balance and a "busi-ness statement."
The "business statements" differed from those of today and by an amazing coincidence were very similar to the ones translated from Grammateus and illustrated in the flow chart (Fig. 1) of Profes-sor Inoue's article.

Signs of celiac disease
Celiac disease, or gluten allergy, affects at least 3 million Americans. Many people realize they have it after they start having issues digesting foods with wheat but Celiac disease is much more than just "tummy trouble". Learn the signs and symptoms of Celiac disease so you can get on the road to a healthier lifestyle.
What is it? Celiac disease is an auto-immune condition in which gluten inflames the lining of the small intestine; it affects women and men equally. When your body releases antibodies in response to the gluten, the tiny intestinal villi, which absorb nutrients, can be damaged. Untreated celiac disease also can lead to osteoporosis, infertility and some cancers.

Have heart burn? The cause may not be what you think
Symptoms: Signs of celiac disease vary but often include diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating. If you suspect you have the condition, ask your doctor for a blood test. If positive, an intestinal biopsy might result in a more detailed diagnosis. Symptoms of gluten sensitivity are similar, but do not include intestinal damage.
Should I avoid gluten anyway? Unless you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, you shouldn't jump on the gluten-free bandwagon. Experts say to keep eating gluten regularly if you have no medical reason to avoid it. Replacing foods from your typical diet with gluten-free versions might mean you'll miss out on iron and other important nutrients. But, if you have type 1 diabetes, you should know that new research suggests you could see a decrease in your blood-sugar levels after following a gluten-free diet. And, studies indicate that people with diabetes who have celiac disease and stop ingesting gluten might have less hypoglycemia.

New Hampshire fish and game officials say a Connecticut man has died in a snowmobile accident in the woods in Errol.
Rescuers were called at 2 a.m. Saturday to the scene, on 13 Mile Woods trail about two miles north of Millsfield Pond Road.
The victim is identified as 56-year-old Louis Voegeli Jr. of Woodbury, Conn. Voegeli was last in line in a group of four snowmobilers traveling south. He failed to negotiate a left turn and hit a tree.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, but officials say alcohol does not appear to be a factor.

Good, honest service and reasonable prices. They have been very good to me. I highly recommend EG.
Excellent job on the break system.
EG Automotive is a great place for car service. Joe is always friendly, honest, and professional. Stopped in today to have Joe inspect the brakes on my daughter's car before returning to school. The inspection was done in an hour and I was told that all was fine and that there was no charge for the evaluation. Amazing service. I would highly recommend EG for quality honest service. Mike Palumbo
Great customer service.. honest, fair and quick service!
Goodbye Tire Barn! Hello EG!
Great job, reasonable priced, friendly.
Good owners and techs. Oil change once, then issue with AC, and they diagnosed a major repair, but didn't charge as they knew the car wasn't worth the money.
Quality service! A friendly family environment and a clean waiting area! Great people there. Stop by and ask for Pete or Joe!
The experience I had here was amazing! I am not from the area and while driving to a conference my tire pressure light came on. I still had about 50 more miles and was concerned I was getting a flat or had a leak and didn't have a tire pressure gauge with me. I just so happened to be passing EG Automotive so I pulled in hoping they could help. They were friendly and extremely helpful. They immediately took my car back and tried to troubleshoot the issue. I waited at most, 10 minutes, if that. They checked my tires for a leak and filled them with air. I wish I lived closer so I could continue to give them my business!
Excellent service. Staff is very friendly and accommodating, will be back!
Peter and his son are great. Very accommodating and know the value of customer service. The only place I'll go for automotive needs.
Great services and a very knowledgeable staff! The staff as well as the owner are very knowledgeable in their work. Service is fast and efficient, never tried to guide you in wrong direction, fully trustworthy and always give you proper guidance and valid reason for the service required immediately on your car or wait till next appointment. All in all the one and only stop for your car services. I will recommend them highly!
Took my Range Rover for a service and was blown away by the customer service.
Great customer service, quick repair, and comfortable environment. Highly recommend going to them for any car troubles.

Great Shop, knowledgeable mechanics. Using the latest diagnostic tools. Very reasonable prices.

It's hard to find a mechanic shop you can trust, and when you do you stick with them forever. I will now be a lifetime customer of EG Automotive! Went in thinking I had a major engine problem that would cost me major $$. Turns out it was a minor fix that cost under $100. These guys could've beat me over the head because I told them I was expecting the worst, but they were honest and fixed my vehicle fast. I will never go anywhere else for my car's repairs or maintenance.
I will definitely be going back here again. They were very efficient and pleasant. Extremely satisfied!
Nice people always trying to help you out! They do good work and they're always pleasant.
Good service. Friendly people. I have been going here for 25 yrs. New ownership, but they seem to be keeping their honesty going.
Joe is great. Such a professional. Staff very helpful and friendly. They get you in and out. Highly recommend this place.
EG Auto is the best auto shop I have found in Middlesex County. They are awesome, work hard and let you know everything that is going on. No matter what, you are always on the same page as them!!! Thank u EG.
I stopped here just when the store was about to close, but a staff member stayed a few minutes after to check out the damage to my tires. Very friendly and accommodating. 5/5 Definitely would recommend!
Good service.
I was visiting NJ and my tire went flat. EG helped me out no questions asked. They ordered a tire while I finished up work and they fit me in before they closed so that I can go home 180 miles away. THANKS JOE AND TEAM!
Owner is very respectful and helpful of situations. Went out of their way to make sure my car would be ready for me in a short time. Prices are very fair and they do a great job. Will continue to come here; love the service !
Friendly, professional, and courteous. The price of my repairs was very fair. I couldn't be happier with the service. Joey & Pete know how to treat a customer; with respect!
Today I went to EG Automotive, my car was making a noise and turns out that my brakes were metal to metal. Joe and Steve took excellent care of me. I felt very comfortable and absolutely loved the service.
We stopped here after my car broke down on NYE on a long trip. The owner spent 20 minutes looking at my car and gave me great advice, filled my transmission with a lot of fluid and didn't charge us anything! Very knowledgeable and great customer service.
Quality service. Great prices!
When driving from Philly back home to CT, alternator went. They were able to fit me in and fix it and get me back on the road in a timely fashion. Friendly, fast service. Free TV to watch while you wait.
I showed up this past Saturday (Memorial Day Weekend) with a nail in one of my rear tires. Steve repaired the tire quickly and I was on my way. I've never been to EG but have lived in the area for a long time. I would definitely recommend this shop to friends and family.
Very happy with Steve and his tech crew, honest hard working guys, came in with engine light on, and he took care of it right the way.
Nice friendly and very effiently taken care of. Really busy business in the area.
Been using this place for a few months now. So far it's been a pleasure, great work and great prices, no games. They've done brakes, alignments, tires, and oil change for me on 2 cars. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for an honest repair shop.
Finally found a local automotive center that is professional, responsive and skilled. We've been blessed to find a family business who is fair priced and always accommodating. We have 2 older cars and, as seniors, truly appreciate their level of competence and customer service.
Wonderful local business, knowledgeable, courteous and HONEST, really honest and their prices are fair, never inflated. I trust them completely, a very rare commodity in this day and age, especially in this type of business.
Great guys. Our car over heated as we were traveling with two toddlers - it was Good Friday and EG was open. They checked out the car, determined we could make it to our destination, gave us a couple gallons of water (just in case it over heated again) and didn't charge us. Thank you!!
I've taken my car here for years, and the guys at EG never let me down, repairs and routine maintenance are always done promptly and well. Unlike other car repair places, they never overcharge or make up fake things that need to be done RIGHT AWAY for the tune of several thousand dollars or else my car is liable to spontaneously combust. The EG guys are courteous and helpful. I hope EG never goes out of business!
Simply excellent.
Great people.
Great service! I would highly recommend! Better than those chain places.
Very professional shop, work was done on time, at a fair price and to my absolute satisfaction. Recommend them.
EG Auto is an AWESOME shop!! Friendly staff and very helpful..I love that they fully explain everything out to you and there are no surprises!!! Thanks EG Auto for all your help, my honda can count on you!
Won't go anywhere else, this is the best service I've gotten from all the auto shops I've been to!
I've been coming to EG Automotive Center since 2014. Besides being friendly and professional, I feel like I can trust them. I've been told by them before "You could get that done, but you don't need to. Don't waste your money". That made me trust them. I appreciate their honesty, even if it prevents them from adding to their cost.
Friendly, professional, and courteous. The price of my repairs was very fair. I couldn't be happier with the service. Joey & Pete know how to treat a customer; with respect!
I've been coming to EG since the 1990s. They are the best. I recommend them to all my friends. Steve and Pete are so friendly and are always there when I need help with my car. Love those guys.
Thanks for checking out my tires when I got my oil change. I didn't know how bad the tires were. You gave me a great price for tires and now my wife and kids can drive safely.
Went there for an oil change and wheel alignment, they were absolutely honest and friendly and reasonably priced! I would send my friends and family to this place!
Good, honest service and reasonable prices. They have been very good to me. I highly recommend EG.

"OMG! You're So Lucky!"
In the amazing journey I'm taking with my startup Swayy (first NYC, and now Berlin) I get the chance to meet a lot of new people, and to take part in a lot of interesting conversations.
On one of the recent conversations I had, I spoke about myself working on something of my own, which is something I enjoy doing. Since this is not necessarily true for most people – The other person immediately perceived me as being "Lucky".
To be precise "Oh my god, you are so lucky!" was that person's reaction. I spent a lot of time thinking about this reaction later that night, which led me to write this post.
My current status in life has little to do with luck.
As a matter of fact, describing a person's life status using the word "Luck" underestimates him and overlooks the bigger picture.
One of world's greatest athletes Serena Williams described it amazingly:
"Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come"
– Serena Williams
Luck has nothing to do with it (The File Drawer effect)
Overlooking the bigger picture and missing additional facts and data is better known as a File Drawer Effect (affecting a research because some of the studies were never reported).
In life – you only hear about those great stories (or extremely bad ones), which affects your perspective over the statistics of success.
For me, it took almost two years of hard work and a lot of failures in order to get to the point where I'm standing right now.
For the person I was talking to, statistically, I have a 1/1 success rate, and this is why that person mistook it for "luck".
The File Drawer Effect alters our perspective in many day to day events, and that's what causes us, as outsiders, to consider luck as a factor of success:
Think of that friend of yours who told you how lucky he was to get the best parking spot. Did he ever tell you about the bad parking spots he got? I'm sure he didn't.
Statistically, we'll get a good parking spot once every hundreds of tries.
So What's Luck Anyway? (Hint: Probability)
My world view is that "Luck" is an occurrence of a positive event against the odds.
The question is, how do you increase your odds to succeed and omit luck from the equation?
To begin with, different people have different odds achieving something they want.
Growing in a rich family, or a city filled with opportunities, might increase your odds to succeed, over people from a lower socioeconomic status. So those "lucky" people actually start their journey to success with higher odds than the rest.
From this starting point we can easily look at our odds to succeed in a mathematical way, using Probability Theory.
If you'll think about it, for most things in life we can determine our approximate probability.
Let's say you try to succeed in something that has a 0.1 success rate, and you need at least one success:
If you only attempt once, you get a 0.1 (or 10%) success rate.
Two attempts – and your odds will increase to 1-0.9*0.9=0.19
If you won't give up, and try 15 times you'll get a 1-0.9^15=0.79 success rate. Almost 80%. And that's not too bad.
So in my eyes, a "lucky break" means I succeeded on the first or second attempt. But if I succeed on the 15th attempt, it is no longer luck, it's persistence – so what do I need luck for?
"Accidents happen. That's what everyone says. But in a quantum universe there are no such things as accidents, only possibilities and probabilities folded into existence by perception"
– Dr. Manhattan
Luck Only Comes to Those Who Try
There is one simple "rule" that is pretty clear – eventually, if you won't try at all, you won't even get the 0.1 success rate. Luck doesn't help those who are afraid to try or who give up in advance.
Lets say everyone gets the same chance of meeting that "one in a thousand" person you were looking to meet. So yes, you can get lucky and meet that person on your first try.
But meeting him/her is still under your control – Go out and meet as many people as you can. I guess 1000 people would suffice.
Remember that entrepreneur that met his investor in that meaningless meetup? What's the difference if this happened on his first meetup ever or on his 50th? Go to as many meetups as you can – Increase your odds. It's up to you.
I let this way of thinking guide me – Go out and tell your story to as many people as you can, ask for question, introductions etc.
I do marketing, and finding a successful marketing strategy is hard – not all attempts will lead to a good ROI – but you cannot stop on your first or second try.
If you generate one success every ten tries – go out try ten different strategies.
Some people have better starting points than others, and some fall into situations you might not have been "lucky" enough to fall into. So those people have bigger odds to begin with.
It's up to you now to understand how to increase your odds. If there is anything to be learned from Probability Theory – it's that you should do more and try more. Go out and increase those odds.

Hi just a quick question here.
im doing an electronic bandit assignment and when you win the payout is added to a JTextfield called winnings.
i also have a Jbutton that allows you to transfer the winnings to the balance so you can carry on playing.
The problem im having is that once i have transfered the winnings to the balance, the JTextfield that stores the winnings amount still shows the amount of winnings i previously had instead of reseting back to 0 and starting again.
How do i go about this?

Subscribe To New Cloud Atlas TV Spot: Our Lives Are Not Our Own Updates
I've already subscribed
What ought to be the most ambitious, baffling, possibly infuriating movie of the fall is moving faster and faster toward us, with Cloud Atlas now very close to its October 26 release date. The film from the newly dubbed "Wachowski Starship" (a.k.a. Andy and Lana Wachowski, the siblings behind The Matrix) and Tom Tykwer debuted at the Toronto Film Festival last month to some raves and some jeers, and when it appeared as a surprise screening at Fantastic Fest later in September it won a whole new legion of fans-- as well as a few more people who just couldn't get down with its high-flying philosophy and time-jumping narrative.
I'm a devoted fan of Cloud Atlas, and even I think you have to see it for yourself to decide if you like it. Now we've got a lot of TV spots showing up to help you make that decision-- including this new one, which you can see below.
I'm not among the critics quoted here (I know, right???) but I co-sign what all of them saying, while also acknowledging that a bunch of positive adjectives can't really capture what's so special about this movie. With six different narratives set centuries apart and interwoven with some of the most spectacular editing you've ever seen, Cloud Atlas is an enormous story, and comes with the kind of big feelings that so few movies aim for these days. It's really unlike anything else I've seen this year, and even if you think you can't get down with the "everything is connected" story, there are so many strong performances and engaging stories that you might find something worth liking anyway. Let us know in the comments if we've convinced you that Cloud Atlas is worth your time.

I am celebrating my blogging anniversary. Well, it's the 20th or 21st; the Summer Solistice. I figured I needed the longest day of the year to get started.
While I don't have a huge number of readers, I appreciate each of you. I also want to thank Amy and Thomas, especially, for their encouragement in the first few days/months.
Just for your info, family stuff has been interfering with genealogy. I'm sure you can all identify with that. So, for the past month I've been planning on how, starting today, genealogy writing (especially blog writing) would move up in my to-do list.. Unfortunately, I just found out that MORE family stuff is going to take extra time and effort, including being away from home, for some time. (No, it's not my health or my any of my family member's health, so that's not the problem.) I don't know how long yet. I'm grateful that I was able to attend both NGS and Jamboree this year. I'm still hoping to make GRIP. We'll see.

I'm taking a break from blogging to completely heal from an illness. Please send your healing thoughts and prayers. Good luck with your genealogy hunting. I plan to be back at it soon! Loving photos assembled by sister Ellen from when Reg and Joan were young! –> go here

"Having a mobile app is a way for Seattle Shakespeare Company to stay connected and engage with our patrons no matter where we are - whether it's at our indoor venues, at our summer park shows, or on tour across the state. It's flexible, easy to use, and works within our budget. We looked long and hard for a mobile app solution that would work with our unique needs, and we're so glad we found InstantEncore."
