Third Stream music had more or less fallen by the wayside by the mid-sixties, but a chance meeting between Zawinul and composer William Fischer inspired this ambitious 1965 attempt to once again present classical composition in a jazz context. Not bad for a guy who was only on his second album as a leader. Zawinul and Fischer largely succeed in their attempt to meld the two, using a small string section and an assortment of jazz instrumentation as their tools on The Rise & Fall. Parts of the scores are written out, yet plenty of room is left for improvisation. The transition is seamless and allows for a great deal of modal playing based on the original themes as well as some free jazz dabbling.
Along with the string arrangements, which vary from lush to jarring, Zawinul contributes some lovely arpeggios as well as some haunted electric piano. Whether or not this music bears any resemblance to classical (or, for that matter, jazz) is up for debate, but nevertheless The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream is a compelling and challenging listen.

Apple products always gives us a lot of expectations and perceptions. Recent running 5s 5c iPhone and iPhone does not allow us to see the extraordinary creativity of Apple and industrial design once again. But the iPhone is not the only thing we expect. There are two Apple products should be a concern this year - five Mini2 iPad iPad ad. You may have seen some leak images look. But today you can see a more detailed video about iPad 5 and iPad4. It allows us to get to know some of the features of the iPad 5.
As the rumor says, the iPad takes the pocket slim design as the iPad mini. Its width has decreased a lot, but the length should be the same as the iPad 4 IPad battery is smaller. Generally, this means less time. But we could not have this application as an effective battery management system is also very important. iPad 5 has a 9.7-inch Retina display with 2048 * 1536 resolution. It is the same as the iPad 4
According to tradition, the Apple iPad is usually more powerful chip than the iPhone. We already know the last 5 s iPhone has a new chipset A7. It is possible that the iPad May 5 accept more A7X chipset power of 64-bit architecture. It has improved the GPU and OpenGL 3.0 support. This may cause a jump in game performance.

Industry 4.0 is a trending topic across the manufacturing world. It's also a complex concept that encompasses multiple technologies and disciplines — and the ROI isn't always readily apparent. One way food and beverage companies are seeing some real-time benefits is through the automation of processes to reduce the potential for human error.
In this exclusive on-demand webcast, Adem Kulauzovic, Director of Coding Automation at Domino Printing, sits down with four industry experts to talk about the impact Industry 4.0 and automation can have on reducing human errors in food packaging.
Join us for insights and firsthand observations from a variety of perspectives on the goals and challenges of integrating technology on the packaging line — an operations engineer at a food manufacturer, a senior systems architect at an automation integrator, an OEM of vision and traceability solutions, and a VP of Industry Services at PMMI.

Congratulations Dr. Neil Vasdev, Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation's Grant Recipient
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) has awarded Dr. Neil Vasdev a grant to "support the development of tools to advance our understanding of Alzheimer's disease by tracking its progression, improving patient selection for clinical trials, and monitoring patient response to drugs in trials."
Translation of an Optimized PET Radiopharmaceutical for Imaging Tau Pathology in Alzheimer's Patients
The invention of imaging agents used in positron emission tomography (PET) to detect amyloid plaques (such as the ADDF-funded Amyvid™ test) led to major breakthroughs in clinical dementia research and drug development. In such studies, radioactive drug molecules (radiopharmaceuticals) are injected and the distributions of those molecules are measured using a PET camera. A similar imaging agent for tau proteins, thought to play an important role in early Alzheimer's disease, could lead to more breakthroughs by allowing researchers to rapidly identify novel Alzheimer's drug treatments that engage and modify the tau proteins in the brain. Dr. Vasdev and collaborators from Merck will develop and evaluate a new tau imaging agent in clinical tests.
Tau PET Imaging in Drug Development – Dr. Eric Hostetler
Tau proteins (named after the Greek letter T) are commonly associated with chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and traumatic brain injuries. Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a non-invasive imaging technology, is used to measure disruptive tau accumulations in the brain. Currently there are few available PET tracers that can be used to measure tau concentrations. But, according to Dr. Eric Hostetler, Executive Director of the Translational Imaging Biomarkers at Merck, these PET tracers have limitations that include in some cases unexplained off-target binding i.e., the binding of the PET tracer to a protein other than tau. Nevertheless, Dr. Hostetler believes that tau PET imaging is crucial for AD drug development and that is only a matter of time until an optimized tracer for tau pathology is discovered. Dr. Hostetler was the guest speaker at a seminar series organized by the MGH Gordon Center and his lecture was titled "Tau PET Imaging in Drug Development: Opportunities, Progress, and Future Directions".
About the Gordon Lecture Series:
The Gordon Center for Medical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University develops new biomedical imaging technologies used in diagnosis and therapy. In addition to translational research, the Center organizes lectures and symposiums as part of its effort to inspire the public and the scientific community about the latest research topics in medical imaging.

Will my genes change during my lifetime, and will that change my body?
There are two answers to that. The first is no. Your code is passed on in sperm and eggs, and the code within them is set at your conception. It's locked into the egg and locked into the sperm that make you. In the egg's case that actually occurs inside your grandmother, because your mother's eggs were developing while she was in utero in her mother. That code is fused together at conception as your genome, and that code should not change over the course of your life. That's the basic answer.
The caveat to that, which is the second answer, is: yes it will. The reason it will is that its replication isn't perfect. There are lots of complex mechanisms within the cell which effectively do copy-editing and proof-reading, and if mistakes are introduced during the non-perfect process, they get corrected. When they don't get corrected, then you potentially run the risk of developing a cancer – that is what a cancer is.
Similarly, your genome could be changed by external factors, such as radiation. If that occurs in the wrong type of gene, that may also result in you getting a cancer. So the code shouldn't change during your life, but it will. And if you're unlucky, that will turn into a disease.
"The question is, if your code is unchanging, then why are people different from each other?"
The real question is: if your code is unchanging, then why are people different from each other? That is to do with how the environment interacts with your genome. So nature versus nurture is a false dichotomy – nature via nurture is a better phrase. The gene code itself doesn't change, but how it interacts with the environment changes profoundly with every action that we do.
There are various mechanisms by which this happens. The one which is incredibly fashionable at the moment is called epigenetics, which is one way in which genes are turned on and off. I'm very sceptical about epigenetics – it is just one of several mechanisms for regulating the unchanging code within our genes.
These things are not mystical in any way. The reason people get healthier when they do more exercise is because of the interaction between your environment and your genetics. All human behaviour is an interaction between the environment and your genes, and the amount of control you have over that relationship is basically controlled by your lifestyle.

A fairytale wedding in the forest by Sweet Little Photographs
Happy Monday!! Did you have a lovely weekend? My hubby has gone back to work today so it's time to get back to routine!! Charlie is sulking as she loved having him home... truth be told so did I. We've had the loveliest couple of weeks on our 'staycation' and I kinda didn't want it to end... although I do need to spend some time getting work done now! Anyway I have the cutest of cutest weddings to kick start the week...
I fell in love with the work of Tim & Merrill from Sweet Little Photographs work a while back, and I'm so excited to share one of their weddings with you today! Especially as it's just so dang adorable!! Held in the giant Redwood Forests around Los Gatos in California this wedding is a little bit like a fairy tale... a treehouse, the cutest little cottage you ever did see (reminds me of something from Hansel & Gretel!), ponds, lakes... honestly this place looks like my kinda dream location!
Lisa and Z - or Zisa if you go by their 'celebrity moniker' - are both graphic designers and I think it's pretty obvious looking at all the cute details in their wedding. I'm loving the groom and groomsmen attire as well... great combos!

Youth Council
Who are we?
The Sail Training Ireland Youth Council is a group of passionate young people within Sail Training Ireland, set up to provide a 'voice of youth' in the organization.
Although we all come from different backgrounds and have different levels of sailing knowledge and experience, we have all taken part in at least one Sail Training Voyage, and developed an interest in sailing.
What is our Purpose?
The council was set up to support Sail Training Ireland in developing the activity of sailing within Ireland. Our main aim in this sense is to help promote the accessibility of Sail Training amongst young people in Ireland.
The Council also represents young people in Sail Training Ireland, through offering opinions and suggestions in any endeavors that involve young people. As well as this, the Council can be utilized as a pool of volunteers to help out at events where necessary, as well as representing the organization at public events.
What is our Vision?
The vision of the Sail Training Ireland Youth Council is to become a steady supporter of Sail Training Ireland, inspire young people to take part in Sail Training and bridge the gap between the organization of Sail Training Ireland and the young people of the country.
How is the Council Organized?
The Sail Training Ireland Youth Council comprises of 8 young people between the ages of 16 and 30. Each of whom were nominated by youth groups which have worked in conjunction with Sail Training Ireland, and have all taken part in at least one Sail Training Voyage. The Council was originally formed in October 2016, during a Causeway Funded Weekend in Belfast. It is modeled after the Sail Training International Youth Council. The Chairperson of the Irish Council will also represent Ireland in the International Council.
When invited, up to two Youth Council members will attend Sail Training Ireland Board meetings. The purpose of this is to provide updates upon request of any ongoing activities, offer opinions on projects concerning young people and to keep the remainder of the Youth Council updated.

Jimmy Henchman Accused of Loaning Wyclef 60,000 in Drug Money
As the case of James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond continues to heat up, yesterday (May 23) in Brooklyn Federal Court a new piece of evidence was introduced to his file.
According to a Proffer Agreement from October of last year, Jimmy revealed to prosecutors he loaned Wyclef Jean 60,000 dollars in drug money.
While the Haitian-American artist did not have any knowledge of the origin of the funds, Rosemond supported Jean's 2010 bid as Haitian president as well as helped organize a concert for President Michel Martelly last year. The Haitian government began keeping a close watch on the pair after several checks totaling to $80 thousand were sent to Rosemond from business properties of Jean's.
The former manager of artists such as Game and Gucci Mane revealed the information as well as other key notes including the details of his $10 Million drug operation in an attempt to reach a Cooperation Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement was thrown out after Rosemond was found with a working cell phone in jail. Text message exchanges were also discovered between him and his brother Mario, who is also a fugitive.
The trial continues this week.

Because they are so important to a home, they receive a lot of action. It's wise to keep your windows clean so that continue to enhance your home. Window glass can get dirty pretty quickly, even sooner with little hands or pets in the home, but fortunately glass cleaning isn't that hard. Many Pella Windows and Doors windows have features that it make it less painful to clean the exterior of your windows from indoors, too. Looking for an easy, new window cleaning process? Here's what Pella Windows and Doors recommends: You can start by brushing off your window sill with a small broom or brush. The dirt and dust that gathers on the sill and ledges will stay there for a long time otherwise, and brushing will also prevent smearing on the glass later on. Do not use the same cleaning cloth that you will eventually use to clean the glass! Run your vacuum's dusting brush attachment over the side of your window screen that faces inside. You can also use this vacuum piece to pick up any leftover dirt and dust along your sills. Use a premixed vinegar-based cleaning solution, or an ammonia-free glass cleaner like Windex® or Sparkle® to clean your glass. You can make your own vinegar-based solution by mixing one-part white vinegar to 10 parts water. Generously apply the cleaner to a clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel and wipe down your glass from a variety of different directions for the best clean. After the cleaning, let your windows air dry and then rinse your glass with clean water if any streaks remain. There are more tips, too! We suggest that you clean your windows on a cloudy day because the sun will dry the cleaning solution too fast and leave streaks on your glass. Also, our Pella Windows and Doors professionals select microfiber cloths since they are the least likely to leave tiny particles behind. Take care of your gorgeous view, protection barrier and light source by keeping your windows clean throughout the year. If you have any questions about interior or exterior window cleaning, or on any steps of our cleaning process, give our Memphis Pella Windows and Doors showroom a call at 901-401-9399 or arrange an appointment with us online for us to come assess your windows.

5 Signs Real Estate Recovery is Near
5 Signs Real Estate Recovery is Near - David Stevens, President and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association, is bullish on homeownership. According to an interview by Inman news:
Stevens believes there is good signs on the real estate front and here are 5 signs of recovery:
1. Markets are stabilizing: the real delinquency rate is down year over year from 10 percent to 8.5 percent.
2. Many markets are experiencing real home-price growth: price declines are not a national problem. "The fundamentals are better than ever." In fact, if you remove the foreclosure properties from the equation, non- distressed properties have actually experienced an increase in prices.
3. The best time ever to buy: Extremely low interest rates insure lowest possible home ownership costs. In the unlikely event prices should dip from the lows of today, the interest rates we pay today will insure cost of ownership will be as low as we have seen in decades.
4. The coming home shortage: Generation Y, which is estimated to be approximately 80 million, or 25 percent of the U.S. population, is entering their prime time for starting their careers, their families, and for buying a home. Additionally there is a predicted population growth of 130 million people in just 40 years.
5. Getting there: According to Stevens, real estate is now at bargain levels that we will never see again in our lifetimes. If there were ever a time to buy a home, that time is now. Read more about the signs of real estate recovery...
This information along with Equifax report of Credit growth being up 13% is all very encouraging. It is suggested that credit growth has reached a two year high.
More encouragement is that credit cycles are turning and loans are seeing higher volumes versus the previous year for everything from credit cards to consumer finance.

New research among 10-17 year-olds, suggests children are more aware of saving money than their parents were at their age.
The research, conducted by Scottish Widows, surveyed 1500 adults and 500 children. Starting school during Britain's financial crisis, the survey looked at the generational differences between children's attitude towards saving and the impact this has had on their financial awareness and decision making.
The survey found children are more conscious of their parents' saving habits as three out of four children hear them talk about saving money, and nearly half have noticed families trying to save money by going out to eat less (48%). Even children as young as ten are aware of deals and offers when shopping as a result of their parents financial choices (43%).

By now you've heard there was a budget deal signed by the President. The deal re-opened the shuttered federal government, but only through March 23.
It also sets the overall amount of money the federal government has, but not individual agency allocations. As Politico noted, it sets the overall size of the pie, but did not establish the size of the slices that each agency gets.
Between now and March 23, Congress needs to fight about the appropriation that each agency will receive. That exercise needs to be completed by March 23. If they don't succeed by the deadline, the government will either again close its doors, or they will need to pass another continuing resolution.
If you're concerned about EPA's budget or other issues, click here and email your Congressperson.

The simple way to choose a college major
With so many college majors to choose from—everything from engineering to education to art—picking what you study may feel like the hardest choice of your life. After all, the decision impacts your future: what kind of job you might have, whether you need to go to graduate school, how much you can expect to earn after you graduate, and more. But to make the decision a bit easier, here are some tips that show you how to choose a college major:
1. Experiment
The beauty of not knowing what your major should be is that you can sample everything: music, history, math, English, whatever. In fact, that's what college is all about, isn't it? Discovering who you are and what you like. So try a bunch of different classes, especially as a freshman. The only rule here: be open to new things.
2. Seek advice
Before you rush into making a choice, talk to your academic advisor, other professors, career services if your school offers it, your parents, and peers. Take their suggestions into account and make a mental chart of the pros and cons of each major you're interested in.
3. Choose what you're passionate about
If you still can't make a decision, think about what you love. Do you spend a lot of time listening to or playing music? Is your nose always in a book? Get a thrill out of crunching numbers? Trust your gut, follow your passion, and you won't make the wrong choice.
4. Consider your skills
In college you may discover that your skills overlap with your academic interests, so start by taking stock of your talents. Are you a naturally gifted writer? Do you like to build things in your spare time? Do you draw for fun? Are you good at puzzles? Every talent has an applicable field of study—all you have to do is figure out what it is.
5. Think about what you want to do after you graduate
Let's face it: college is supposed to prepare you for a job. That means your field of study will influence where you work and what you do. So it pays to think ahead. What kind of work might you be interested in down the line? Write all your ideas down. Then do a little research. What are the educational requirements for each job and what majors best fulfill them? Now match your skills and passions to that list.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Katsucon was my 4th time wearing my Sailor Moon costume, so I decided to change it up a bit by making her 1st manga brooch and choker. The brooch is actually a bottle cap that I spray painted, the moon and star are buttons, and the gems are cabochons attached to the underside with a combo of wire and interfacing. The choker's charm is made of cabochons too. I glued them to interfacing, carefully cut the charm out and added an eyepin so I could stitch it to the choker ribbon :)
- Personal Thoughts:
- lol, do a new brooch, a new choker and a new wand even equal a new costume? XD;;;;;
Update Feb 2013: I made her mask and the cape she wears in some of the artbook pictures! The cape is peachskin and attaches with snaps underneath the sailor collar :)
My next project is to remake the chest armor/sleeves and skirt's waistband ^^

Stanford University's Dr. Robert Malenka, M.D., Ph.D. has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

Alzheimer's Reading Room
Praised for excellence in his innovative neuroscience research, Stanford University's Dr. Robert Malenka, M.D., Ph.D. has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. A member of Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium, Malenka is the Nancy Friend Pritzker Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and director of the Nancy Friend Pritzker Laboratory at Stanford University.
Malenka is a world leader in elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which neural circuits are reorganized by experience. His many contributions over the last 25 years have laid the groundwork for a much more sophisticated understanding of the mechanisms by which neurons communicate and the adaptations in synaptic communication which underlie all forms of normal and pathological behavior. He has been at the forefront of helping to apply the knowledge gained from basic neuroscience research to the treatment and prevention of major neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
"We congratulate Dr. Malenka on this prestigious honor. It is well deserved," said Cure Alzheimer's Fund co-founder Jeffery L. Morby, a Stanford University graduate. "His groundbreaking research on neuroscience has been critical in better understanding how Alzheimer's impacts the brain, and has moved us closer to finding better treatments and a potential cure for this devastating disease."
Malenka will be inducted into the National Academy of Sciences next April. The Academy is a private, nonprofit society engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furthering science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Established in 1863, the academy has served to "investigate, examine, experiment and report upon any subject of science or art" whenever called upon to do so by the government. The Academy has more than 2,000 active members.

Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) has launched a series of philanthropic, cultural,
and spiritual campaigns, aligned with the company's CSR initiatives.
Reiterating its commitment to reciprocate to the community, ENOC has joined hands
with Beit Al Khair Society, The Red Crescent Authority (RCA), and Dar Al Ber Society,
to contribute to less fortunate families through a charity collection drive. During the Holy
Month of Ramadan, all three organisations will place donation boxes across ENOC and
EPPCO service stations in Dubai encouraging members of the community to donate in
the spirit of generosity.
Khalid Hadi, Director of Brand and Corporate Communications of ENOC said: "The Holy
Month of Ramadan denotes a time of reflection. Basking on the values of kindness and
gratitude, humility, and spirituality, ENOC is stressing the importance of members of the
community helping people in need. Celebrating the marvel of Ramadan, we encourage
people across the UAE to assist those less fortunate than us."
In 2002 ENOC/EPPCO was the first fuel retailer to introduce provide dates and water at
service stations in the UAE, during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Since then the initiative
is carried out annually reaching thousands of motorists daily. Held in collaboration with
Alokozay, this year 79 ENOC/EPPCO service stations in Dubai will be distributing over
100,000 boxes containing dates, water, and prayer beads during Iftar.
ENOC is also organising a number of cultural and spiritual lectures during the Holy
Month of Ramadan to educate employees in the group. The lectures are aimed at
enhancing awareness on the Holy Month, as well as its customs and practices.
Key Islamic speakers from Dubai Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities, Government
of Dubai, will lead the lectures in Arabic and English, bridging cultures amongst the
diverse community within the group.
ENOC also launched a workplace initiative to promote healthy guidelines for fasting,
which have been shared with employees across the world.
Another initiative launched by EMGAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENOC,
in association with the Beit Al Khair Society, provides free LPG refills to 300
underprivileged families in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, during the Holy Month.
Ramadan initiatives are part of series of community campaigns supported by ENOC,
aimed at reaching out to and giving back to the society – across social, environmental
and economical sectors. All companies within the ENOC group are committed to
upholding the highest standards of CSR while conducting business

The first of up to 12 Bell-Boeing MV-22 Osprey tiltrotors are joining Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) 1, the unit tasked with transporting the President, other VIPs and their entourages. The Marine Corps was expected to take formal delivery of the first HMX-1 MV-22 last month. The MV-22s are replacing the CH-46E Sea Knights attached to the squadron and are being modified with upgraded communications equipment and seating. They are not expected to be used to transport the President. While they will be painted in HMX-1's signature dark green, they will not have the white tops associated with the Sikorsky VH-3Ds and VH-60Ns used to fly the President. (source)

Hope you had a lovely weekend! I'm back to working on the master bedroom… and here's a look at my ideas for the new space. Patterns and fabrics have yet to be decided but I'd love to mix that bohemian/eclectic feel with softer/traditional elements (like batik fabric for an occasional chair with sheer white panels for the windows, a bright sunburst mirror with a conventional everyday dresser).
My colors are swirling around in the navy, tan and brown ranges but I know a "pop" of something would be ideal! Should it be brick red? A muted yellow? Maybe a sea glass green? Oh decisions decisions…

TeensDoPorn – Isabella Nice Young Rookie Gets Some Nookie (01.05.2018)
Isabella Nice was once an innocent teen, until she showed up for her first Team Skeet shoot. From this day on she has become a wild and horny sex doll. She has a mouth that is meant for sucking cock and a tight pussy that is meant for getting drilled. What we like about her most is that she has fun while she is on camera. That is one of the most desired qualities when it comes to any starlet. Add a face full of cum and perfection is not too far away. If you want to give Isabella some love please comment below, and tell us what site you want to see her perform on next!

Storage: Do not wash or trim Brussels sprouts until you are ready to use them. Sprouts purchased on the stem can be kept on the stem in the refrigerator if you have room. If not, remove them with a sharp knife and store loose sprouts in a perforated plastic bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator (discard the stem). Fresh sprouts will keep for several days.
Preparation: Trim any bruised or yellowed leaves if necessary as well as the stem end, being careful not to trim away too much so the outer leaves don't fall off during cooking. Cut an X in the base of each sprout so the interior cooks as quickly as the outer leaves. Regardless of cooking method, test for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the stem end, which should be barely tender. Overcooking enhances an unappealing cabbage-like odor.
Taste: Cabbage-like, but a tad sweeter.
Nutritional Benefits: Brussels sprouts provide vitamins C (for immunity) and A (for eye health), folic acid (for cell maintenance and growth), potassium (for heart and kidney health), fiber and protein.

7mm White Gold Legend of Zelda Wedding Band Emerald
7mm White Gold Legend of Zelda Wedding Band Emerald
A tribute to Legend of Zelda in a unique men's wedding band! This ring comes with a Chatham lab created sapphire for a nice accent stone. Also available with lab created emerald, or ruby. Have another stone idea? Message us!
SHOWN IN PHOTOS: Palladium 950 metal sample. Available in gold or Palladium.
This 7mm wide wedding band is made from recycled gold of your color choice, palladium, or palladium gold. Each ring is handmade with a comfort fit to your size. The ring is carved from wax, then cast in the metal. From there it is finished by hand to achieve a great wearable look.
Ring Specs:
● 7mm width
● 1.65mm Thickness- good weight, sturdy construction
● 3mm Chatham Lab Created Emerald. An eco friendlier solution to new mining.
● Recycled Gold (14k white, yellow), Palladium 950, or Palladium Gold.
I offer BRUSHED or POLISHED finishes on these rings. Shown in the photo is a polished finish. I also offer a brushed satin finish, please let me know your preference when ordering.
Please allow 3-5 weeks from order to ship date. (Rush orders possible for a rush fee, please message about due date). Exact ring size needed before creating your ring, see sizing info for best ways to get your size before ordering.
● Sizing: It is important for gold that you provide your EXACT finger size. Each ring is handmade to your specifications, so your band may have to be re-made from scratch if a new size is required. I can ship you ring sizers for a very reasonable price to make sure you get sized properly. I strongly recommend going to a few wedding ring stores to get sized before purchase, most will gladly do it for free!
To order a ring sizer for your finger, click here for details: https://www.etsy.com/listing/265359527/reusable-ring-sizer-custom-ring-sizer
Please read my FAQ for more details on ring sizing: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MetalWendler/policy?ref=shopinfo_policies_leftnav
Eco friendly silver and gold is metal that has been refined from old gold jewelry such as estate jewelry and gold coins. The hope is to reduce the impact done from mining by recycling the metal instead. The metal composition and color are identical to commercial golds on the market.

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
About Canadian Diamonds:
Canadian Diamonds- certified, conflict free, cut and polished through ethical and strict codes of conduct. Sourced in the Canadian Arctic.
Subject to the strictest standards through CanadaMark, the Government of Northwest Territories, and designed to protect the the Arctic environment though careful monitoring of every step.
Metal Options:
14k yellow Gold and 14K 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 most people are familiar with, but not 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 gold:
18k gold is 75% pure gold, and 25% other metal alloy. This creates a warmer tone to the pinkness than 14k. Very durable, has an extra fine color quality when seen on the hand.
Palladium White Gold:
An alloy of white gold and palladium ( a cousin metal to platinum, but more economical, not as dense). Not quite as brittle as white gold is, and not quite as common as 14k white.
Platinum is one of the whitest precious metals, and does not require rhodium plating to retain it's whiteness. It has good resistance to wear and tear compared to white gold. Naturally hypoallergenic, platinum is a good choice for people who have metal allergy issues.
Platinum is one of the densest precious metals on the market, and will be noticeably heavier than comparable rings of the same size. Over time, your platinum jewelry may develop a natural patina, which can very quickly be re-polished back to it's original shine. Platinum is one of the most secure ways to hold your stones in place, and holds it's value over time very well.
*** Since every wedding ring I make is handmade, the exact finish of your ring may vary slightly. Each one is one of a kind and unique. Photo represents a very standard studio production item for a client.
*Please Read- info below about fabrication and shipping time before ordering*
● Fabrication Time:Sizes 4-13 ready to ship in 3-5 weeks. Message me if you have a specific timeline, I will always let you know if I can accommodate your deadline! Rush fees may apply.
● Shipping Time:
Items Under $200:
USPS First Class Mail. Shipping time estimated 3-5 business days. Usually within 3 business days, your item will arrive.
Items Over $200:
USPS priority mail with tracking and insurance. Delivery once shipped usually takes between 2-3 days at most. If you need rush shipping (express mail), please message me for a shipping upgrade before purchase.
● Awesome!
A portion of all my monthly proceeds go to "La Puente" community resource center. La Puente is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Colorado's San Luis Valley providing emergency shelter, food assistance, transitional housing, self-sufficiency services, homeless prevention, community outreach services, and job training for the homeless and other community members in crisis.

Manage Multiple Cameras on Your Mac with Cameras
Cameras is a free utility that gives you control over what happens when you plug in any camera to your Mac, and gives you the power to change it whenever you want to use a different app.
PCMag reviews products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
Enter Cameras, a free utility that gives you control over what happens when you plug in any camera to your Mac, and gives you the power to change it whenever you want to use a different app.
Cameras is a tiny, free utility that should probably come with Mac OS. Once it's installed, it shows up as a System Preference pane--you don't have to open a special application to get access to the controls that it offers. By default, the app will force Mac OS to prompt you each time you connect a different camera and ask which application you'd like to open in conjunction with that camera.
The trouble with Mac OS's default way of asking you how you want each camera handled when you connect it is that once you make a selection, it's somewhat set in stone. Changing that preference is often a process of digging through preference files to clear out the one that's set specifically for that camera. Cameras allows you to change your preference at any time, and customize different apps to support different cameras.
For example, if you'd prefer that Aperture open when you connect your DSLR, iPhoto open when you connect your parents' favorite camera, and Picasa open when you connect your point-and-shoot, Cameras allows you to do this quickly and easily. Then, if you decide you'd rather use Picasa instead of iPhoto for your family photos, or iPhoto for everything including your family photos, you can make the switch at any time.
Cameras also supports other photo and video recorders, like your iPhone or SD card reader. You can even bind your iPhone to a different photo management application like Picasa, even though Apple defaults to iTunes and iPhoto. The app requires Mac OS 10.4.11 or later.

You are desperately needed in God's redemptive work of restoring captive humanity to fullness of life. You. Now. This day. Did you know that? Did the theology you were taught allow for such a truth, or were you led to believe that God's plan will be accomplished, with or without our labors?
The Warriors Path is an event based, relational ministry
born from a desire to see young adults, (especially men) find a meaningful destiny through the twin priorities of consistent spiritual pilgrimages, retreats, and adventures and life lived within the context of lifelong bonds of friendship. Years of other ministry contexts have shown us that transformation, change, and freedom best take place in extended times "away" from daily life; and it has taught us that those changes will need deep, lasting, intimate fellowship if they are going to last longer than the latest fad or diet...

Why You Should Work with an Independent Agent for Long Term Care Insurance
Using a financial advisor to help you plan for retirement can be a great choice: it can help you get a better grasp on your finances, understand specific goals and targets for savings, and provide you with information that you otherwise might not know.
Assisted Living Sees Fastest Cost Growth Among Long Term Care Settings
The need for long term care continues to grow throughout the United States and the cost of that care is following suit. Genworth Financial's annual Cost of Care Survey breaks down prices of the different long term care options available. According to the survey, assisted living facilities are experiencing the quickest rise in cost among the various setting options for care.
Connecticut Rejects Long Term Care Insurance Rate Increase Request from MetLife
The Connecticut Department of Insurance has rejected more applications for Long Term Care Insurance rate increases, this time for MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut.
MetLife in Connecticut
MetLife submitted applications for 13 separate rate increases on Long Term Care Insurance policies in the state of Connecticut.
Policyholder Reactions to Genworth Long Term Care Insurance Rate Increases
Several of the top Long Term Care Insurance companies have been forced to raise premium rates in the past few years due to a number of factors. Amidst all the rate increases, some policyholders have been less than pleased, but others have taken it in stride, recognizing that there is indeed a good reason behind the increases.

The goal of Treasure Time is to instill within children a lifelong love of reading and the arts. When children engage in music, acting, creative movement and hands on art projects, learning becomes fun. Treasure Time drama and music programs inspire creativity and offer a chance for self expression.
Mrs. Treasure comes in costume and reads a selected picture book. She sings songs with a guitar and encourages audience participation in games and hands-on art projects. Usually these fun and entertaining programs conclude with dancing.
This dramatic experience is about having an opportunity to put on a play from beginning to end. Children choose a picture book and help to write a musical play. They are involved in the process of creating scenery and props and designing costumes. The culmination of this 8 week session is a performance for family and friends, and sometimes a cable TV show.

A friend of 3 Generations shared her outrage at this photo of a Philadelphia Eagles fan brandishing a knife through an Indian man's head, a most bizarre way to demonstrate loyalty to a football team. By any standard it is a sadistic, racist, ugly image. But how does it look and feel to a Native American?
Our friend, a member of the Lakota Nation, told us "I like football, I like the sport but this picture embarrasses me as a football fan. It pisses me off. It offends me. For any other ethnic/racial/sexual orientation group, had it been their heads sitting on that knife, there would be a tremendous uproar, and rightfully so. But since we have been de-humanized by being mascots, mainstream society says it is ok, it's not ok".
For her and others this is really a double whammy – an evil image and the misuse of Native American culture to create mascots. Some people argue that being a mascot is a way of honoring Native American culture, but our friend does not agree: "It's hard to raise children to be humble, to truly have an interest in the old school culture, when they are constantly seeing pictures of Indians as mascots, how can you be proud of yourself when everyone views you as a cartoon? I'm not a cartoon, my children are not cartoons, we are human beings".
Nor are these mascots representative of what being a Native American really is: Redman Tobacco, Fighting Sioux, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians hardly reflect real people living real lives. As she also pointed out: "I've never run around doing a war hoop. I don't run around patting my mouth making noises. I often wash clothes, go to work, play board games, play with my dog, play with my cat, talk to my children, drink coffee in the morning, have deep conversations with my husband, and pray. So I ask society, why is it ok to have Indians as mascots? Is this how you really view us? Why?"
The term redskin has a murky history depending on whose version you have been taught, but it is always considered disparaging. Indeed the only context in which it is acceptable today is when referencing mascots, but acceptable to whom? Most Native Americans associate it with the 18th and 19th Century practice of bounty hunting. Under the colonial government huge bounties were offered for the scalps of Native men, women and children. They were a manifestation of a cruel and genocidal practice. "Bounties were placed on the scalps of Indians. Bounties were placed and given, for the scalps of my ancestors. Who paid for those bounties? Trappers, traders, and yes, the government".
She finished by explaining that when she sees this picture she sees an expression of imperialism and colonialism. "Speaking up and speaking out when things like this happen, includes speaking for my relatives who were never given the opportunity to do so. We may ask for respect, but we never ask to be honored. Being honored in the real sense, is humbling, not infuriating".
Mascots do not honor, they betray. Time to rethink the obvious.
This week, Jane Wells and TRICKED star, Sgt. Daniel Steele, were invited to participate in the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting. The meeting's theme, 'Mobilizing For Impact', brought together hundreds of the world's leaders and thinkers and provided Jane and Dan with the ideal platform for them to share their work. On Tuesday, Jane participated in the 'Storytelling: A Tool For Action' session in which she shared 3 Generations' efforts to utilize storytelling as a tool for both survivor healing as well as advocacy. On Wednesday, Dan spoke on the 'Human Trafficking: Sporting Events as Opportunities for Advocacy' panel, sharing his personal experiences fighting sex trafficking in Denver and discussing how we can combat human trafficking at the upcoming Super Bowl*. Jane wrapped things up yesterday, speaking at 'The Myth and Promise of Data for Social Impact' session in which she discussed 3 Generations' efforts to coordinate cross-sector support for our film, TRICKED, and action in combating domestic sex trafficking.
Reflecting on his first experience at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting Dan feels that, "participating on the panel at C.G.I. was a truly great experience. Not only were the other panelists extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, but the audience was participative and fully engaged in the discussion. I felt honored to be included with such an impressive group." Jane seconded Dan's comments, adding that the most exciting thing to her at C.G.I. was, "the promise of collaboration and the heartfelt offers of members of this administration to support everyone's efforts in fighting human trafficking." As an organization, we're so proud to see Jane and Dan standing alongside so many of the world's most innovative thinkers and leaders. Their dedication, and the dedication of every other leader at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, shows not only the impact that one individual can have, but more importantly, what can come from the concerted effort of a group of dedicated leaders. Let's pray these feelings of hope last!
Incredible experience today in Detroit, Michigan filming the story of Holocaust survivor Mania Salinger for the upcoming documentary film Night Will Fall. The filmmakers are using a green screen and a red camera so they can place Mania alongside footage of her younger self from the liberation of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp in Germany. She was one of the survivors who greeted liberating British troops on April 15th, 1945. She was filmed by the British Army film unit and is part of my father, Sidney Bernstein's film Memories of The Camps – the film that was never shown. Today Mania identified herself in a still from my father's film. She told us that of all the camps she lived in during the war (including Auschwitz) Bergen-Belsen was the worst: "It was a death camp. You lived day after day waiting for a piece of bread".
Since the conclusion of the Bosnian genocide in December of 1995, recovery has been slow and steady. Today, however, a considerable step in the path to justice was made with Aleksandar Cvetkovic's indictment for the genocide of Srebrenica in July 1995.
Further history was made today with Holland's Supreme Court order that the Netherlands compensate the families of three Muslim men who were expelled from the UN compound in Srebrenica and consequently killed by Bosnian Serb forces. The case opens the Netherlands up for further compensation and "sets a precedent that countries providing troops as UN peacekeepers can be held legally responsible for crimes."

It has been 10 years since the genocide in Darfur began and 6 years since our director, Jane Wells, helped produce the Emmy nominated documentary, The Devil Came on Horseback, starring Nicholas Kristof and Brian Steidle. While it seems that the lull in the Darfur conflict has caused the media and general public to tire of the issue, Kristof is still at it. Reporting on Darfur, Kristof warns that the increasing reports of massacres and killings are beginning to sound all too familiar. Check out the his New York Times article below.

Welcome! I'm Teresa, the hen in a farmhouse nest. I was born in Canada and am now a US Citizen. I inhabit a wonky farmhouse with my husband, Brian, our dogs and parrots and a miniature pig. We also care for alpacas, ducks, chickens, a pair of geese, rabbits, goats, and a couple of barn cats.
Jane Austin once wrote, "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort". I have to agree. While I often daydream of visiting far off places, my heart longs to be at home. Whether I'm inside or outside, I can find plenty to keep me busy and content. I enjoy the French country decorating style, renovating (as time and budget allow), gardening, reading, creating, and blogging.
I hope to inspire you with simple farm living as we renovate and decorate our wonky farmhouse.

The electricians finally made it out last Thursday to move the generator. I've never heard two men whine so much in my life. They stood around for at least ten minutes complaining about moving a 400 pound generator from the … Continue reading
