Regular price
Default Title - Sold out
Sold out
Sterling silver ring with a cast kokopeli band and purple Spiny Oyster stone set in it. Top measures approx 3/4" X 1/2". Inlaid by Ella Cowboy. Size 13The material called, "Spiny Oyster," used by Native American artists to make inlays in fine jewelry, comes from the shell of the bivalve mollusk, Spondylus varius. The genus' scientific name, "Spondylus," means "spines on its back." Aside from its scientific name, it's also known as Thorny Oyster, Spiny Oyster, Spondylus, and Spondylid. Like many other bivalve mollusks, the soft, meaty interior of Spondylus is edible, so the Spiny Oyster's valued for its hard, outer shell as well as its interior meat.The shell's made up of several parts, and the portion used to make inlays is known as Aragonite, which consists of the carbonate mineral, calcium carbonate. Aragonite has the same chemical formula as calcite, but it's formed by biological and physical processes in marine and freshwater environments.The crystal lattice of aragonite varies from that of calcite. Looking at smooth, polished Spiny Oyster set in a ring next to turquoise, one sees a very smooth, polished orange or red surface. The most commonly used Spondylid Bivalve shell colors include orange, reds, and purples and may include distinct striations and color variations. The Yellow Spiny Oyster's especially rare.In the American Oceans, the Spondylids occur along the North American coasts, as far north as North Carolina, on the Atlantic Coast, and northwestern Mexico, on the Pacific Coast. It develops in waters to South America. The Orange Spiny Oyster occurs in shallow to moderately deep waters, where snorkelers and scuba divers readily harvest them. Purple Spiny Oysters grow in deeper water, making them more difficult to find and harvest.\n

How Much Does a Divorce Really Cost in North Carolina?
You may have heard that getting divorced will cost you a pretty penny.
Surprisingly, the divorce itself is fairly affordable, but many of the issues that must be resolved for divorcing couples (like property, finances, and children) can bring added expense.
While it may be tempting to follow a low-cost "do-it-yourself-divorce" plan, this could end up hurting you in the long run, particularly if you and your spouse are not on the same page or able to work well together.
The smartest plan of action is to consider the complexity of your case and speak with an expert who can help outline all of the costs – even the small fees you may not initially account for. These may include:
Your Attorney's Time
A great divorce lawyer will make sure you have the very best representation and help you prepare for a stable future. Each attorney's fees will vary, but can range from $150 to $300 hourly. Keep in mind that these hourly rates apply for all work on your case — from email, meetings, and telephone calls to travel time.
Documents & Filing
You may have guessed that there would be lots of paperwork involved. Your attorney will work on obtaining and copying things like tax returns, bank statements, credit card bills, and other important documents. This labor, plus the $225 cost of filing fees in North Carolina, should be considered.
Asset Appraisal
Hiring a professional appraiser is often necessary to fairly divide assets. An appraiser can provide values on real estate, businesses, and even household items and antiques. Depending on how many different types of assets you're having appraised, the cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Child Custody Evaluations
While some couples come to a child custody agreement quickly, many don't see eye-to-eye on this issue. In these cases, an evaluation will be carried out to determine what is in the best interest of the children. Professional custody evaluators are retained to do psychological testing and interviews of the parties involved. The evaluators' fees, which are paid by the parents, are billed by the hour at rates comparable to an attorney. These costs can climb into the thousands of dollars based on the complexity of the case.
So how do I minimize costs?
There are a few alternatives that can be used to solve the legal issues of divorce without going to court, including:
Negotiation: You and your spouse can negotiate directly with each other and have our attorneys draft your agreement into a formal document. Our attorneys advise and coach you client through the negotiation process as you work directly with your spouse to come to an agreement. An attorney can also negotiate on your behalf with your spouse or with your spouse's attorney.
Arbitration: An arbitration is similar to a court trial but it is private and the case is decided by an arbitrator instead of a judge. This process can be faster than court cases which are routinely are delayed by full court dockets where cases are continued and costs mount.
Mediation: Mediation is a private process where a neutral mediator helps you and your spouse come to an agreement. You maintain control to decide how to resolve your property, custody, and support issues. You and your spouse can use a mediator with attorneys representing you. You can also use a mediator to help you come to an agreement and then use an attorney to create the formal document to put the agreement in writing.
Collaboration: Collaborative law allows you and your spouse to settle your divorce and family law issues through the use of settlement conferences and the assistance of mutually retained professionals like appraisers and financial planners. You and your spouse each have your own lawyer who represents your best interest, but you agree not to use the lawyers in court and work toward settlement together.

Sports News | Mayfield's Mutterings:
Illini to Stony Brook, NY
Grant, Johnson lead Purdue past Siena 72-64
Send a link to a friend
[March 20, 2010]
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP)
Forgotten amid all that angst over Purdue's NCAA tournament chances without Robbie Hummel: The Boilermakers still have Keaton Grant.
The senior, who became a starter after the do-it-all Hummel blew out his knee three weeks ago, ignited a decisive, 20-3 run with 11 points to begin the second half. That opened up the inside for teammate JuJuan Johnson's 23 points and rallied fourth-seeded Purdue past No. 13 seed Siena 72-64 on Friday in the first round of the South Regional.
Johnson, the tallest player on either team at 6-foot-10, tied his career high with 15 rebounds.
E'Twaun Moore added 12 points for the Boilermakers (28-5). They were steamed that even President Barack Obama had joined a national chorus predicting the Saints (27-7) would pull a first-round upset in the third consecutive NCAA tournament.
Take that, Mr. President!
Edwin Ubiles scored 18 points for Siena, which came from 15 points down to pull within 66-63 on a layup by Ryan Rossiter off a deft pass by Ronald Moore with 62 seconds left
- before Purdue clinched the win with free throws.
Then Lewis Jackson, who had airballed a shot and missed a free throw seconds earlier, made two foul shots. The first, tension-breaking one plopped in after a thud onto the back rim as Jackson sheepishly smiled.
Ronald Moore missed from inside off the front rim at the other end with 40 seconds remaining, and Chris Kramer made two foul shots to put Purdue up 70-63 with 33.9 seconds left. Then Johnson added two free throws with 28.6 seconds to go to make it 72-64.
Only then could the Boilermakers exhale.
Siena leading scorer Alex Franklin had 10 points - but none after halftime
- and 12 rebounds, and Rossiter added 10 points and 13 rebounds.
The small school with 3,000 undergraduates outside Albany, N.Y., had beaten Ohio State and Vanderbilt to begin its previous two NCAA tournaments
- and talked Thursday of even feeling pressure as a "favored" No. 13 seed.
Purdue's win after a 3-2 stretch without Hummel left No. 13 seeds just 22-80 in games against No. 4 seeds since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. They added another loss when Wisconsin held off Wofford later in the day.
Purdue's early decision-making on offense - freshman point guard Kelsey Barlow's pass into Siena's zone to no one, a full-court pass over the head of towering Johnson and into the Siena band
- had coach Matt Painter sitting on the scorer's table near his bench and yelling, "What are we doing?"
He knew after halftime.
The Boilermakers charged out of the locker room to score the first 13 points.
[to top of second column]
Purdue had missed eight of its first nine 3-point shots before going 3 for 4 to start the second half. Grant had all three of those, after missing his first four shots. That shooting opened up the inside, and Johnson roamed free for dunks over the bewildered Saints.
Grant's first 3-pointer changed the tone of the game. And when Lewis Jackson, playing with a foot fracture, zoomed uncontested down the lane for a scoop shot, Purdue had instantly turned a three-point deficit into a 37-32 lead.
Siena called timeout, and frustrated Saints coach Fran McCaffery got a bench warning for being on the court and yelling.
As McCaffery swore at his players throughout the timeout, his players felt their own warning
- that their third consecutive first-round upset in the NCAAs was slipping away.
Grant hit another 3 after the timeout, and Chris Kramer stole the ball at halfcourt, soared for a breakaway dunk and yelled to his teammates on the bench. Purdue led 42-32 with 17 minutes left, and McCaffery glared at the officials to begin his second timeout.
When Grant made his third consecutive 3, from the wing, former Boilermakers coach Gene Keady was on his feet two rows behind the Purdue bench and roaring over the 45-35 lead.
Siena's best answer from 3-point range was on the bench. Starter Clarence Jackson, a 39-percent shooter from deep, did not play after spraining his ankle.

Messy Mansion stamping plate MM40
Just for fun, I thought I'd do a review of a Messy Mansion plate. I have bought two of their plates previously, and adored the quality, and when I saw they'd restocked some plates and the stamping heads, I couldn't resist and nabbed another two plates and the soft stamp set with the tin.
Stamping plate! This one is a knitting plate, though I see that crochet needle over there too, plus zips, buttons, and a cat. Because we all know how much cats like knitting. Or impeding knitting 😀
Like most plates, they arrive in a little bag…
with a blue protective plastic cover over them, which needs to be removed before use.
And the stamping heads – in a really adorable tin. Note though, it's a small tin. I hoped to be able to fit a few more stamping heads in it, and I can, but not a lot.
Still, very cute 😀 These ones are the soft stamping heads, and I have a stamping barrel already to use with them. These are fractionally larger than the ones I am used to, which is perfect because they stay IN the barrel of the tool. The other ones would fall out and annoy the crap out of me.
Designs! I tried one of each of the knitting patterns, first over deep red (Warpath)
and then over a lighter yellow with glitter in it (You Go, Glen Coco).
I had this on my thumbs, and it made me giggle – I smudged it, and it looks like it reads 'I love knots'. No, not in wool I don't 😀
The stamping polish was one I made, but if anyone is looking for one, may I recommend Mundo De Unas or Kleancolor Black or White for stamping with.
So there it is! I have used the fox and wolf plate several times too, and it's gorgeous. My favourite images there are the wolf howling at the moon, and the fox and the raven in the Celtic circle. 😀
Have a great day!
A couple of recent nail art manis: stamping and freehand
Just a quickie! 😀
This is a recent mani I did to help a friend for a competition – using neons – providing an example (though, in my case, it's normally a What Not To Do example):D
These were all over white, the yellow is Models Own Luis Lemon (love this colour, true highlighter yellow), the green is Color Club Feelin' Groovy (brighter than that, but my camera hates green) and the orange is Color Club Wham! Pow!. I just dotted on the Wham! Pow! And outlined with a black polish (a franken black but any decent black will do) and some broken dots and lines, added top coat, and done! Neon leopard print. I really liked this, may revisit it when I can keep it on for more than 10 seconds 😀
And the mani I posted on my Facebook page recently in support of Mundo de Unas – and against bullying in any way!
This was Color Club Halo-Graphic and the darker pink is Star Kin R.S:
stamped with Mundo de Unas 10
And this is Dance Legend Mars: with a metal and rhinestone leaf decoration from Born Pretty Store
and with stamping.I liked leaving the tips free of stamping, sort of a funky french effect. I also liked this pre clean up, it reminded me of henna hand art! 😀 But, obviously, I had to tidy it up. Ah well. I didn't take photos of it cleaned up, however. Oops. 😀
I'll have more Dance Legend polishes in their own post shortly 😀
Have a wonderful day
Review for Born Pretty Store: 3D Nail Decoration – shield
The last of the items to review from Born Pretty Store are these very, very cool 3D nail decorations. They are filigree and have stones set into them – this one is silver with a clear rhinestone, but there are others to choose from too, and can be found here.
I kept this mani simple to let the decoration stand out, the base is Star Kin Moon Dark, and all that is needed is some nail glue, and press the shield onto the nail and hold for awhile.
My only complaint is that my nails all broke, and are shorter than this decoration! Wah! The measurements are on the page though, and would have fit my nail perfectly pre-break. And when they grow again, it's going to be GREAT 😀 They are, however, a great width for me 🙂
I am looking forward to using these on a night out too, it's great to have a selection of fun things to jazz up a simple mani with. Free shipping from Born Pretty Store, and feel free to use my coupon code (in the right sidebar) to get 10% off. Shipping times are a bit sporadic, this time they arrived very quickly (in about a week), other times it has been 5-6 weeks, usually somewhere in between. So, I'd recommend stashing one or nice pieces for future use, and not having to be concerned about that 😀 Stockpile like a squirrel! 😀
Have a great day
Note: Item provided by Born Pretty Store for my honest review
BPS review: THE most awesome metal fox nail decorations!
I was contacted again by the friendly Daisy from Born Pretty Store to ask whether I'd like to review a few more products for them, and um yes, yes I would 😀 They are so much fun! I went for a few new-to-me items, like these metal fox nail decorations (find them here) and waited with anticipation.
These are amazing. I am wearing one here over a Handmade by Kyleigh Starry Starry Knight. I haven't top coated, relying on the polish (which was damp and I just pressed Mr Fox down into the polish) to hold it in place, and it seemed very stable. I would use glue if I was going out wearing these, though, I couldn't bear the thought of losing it 🙂 You get three in the packet 🙂
They have a decent weight to them but are not heavy and do not stick up too much, no danger of an inadvertent eye gouge here.
And, of course, they are SUPER pretty
Then I integrated another one into another mani, and I think it worked even better…
This is a skittlette mani: left – right: Lyn B Designs Double Bluff (amazing polish, post coming later), a purple jelly I made with Double Bluff dots over the top, the purple jelly with Mr Fox decoration, and purple jelly with Star Kin Dainty over the top.
These little foxes are gold with clear sparkly stones and black eyes – Born Pretty Store has heaps of others to chose from, too 🙂 My code for 10% off is AJQB10 , or you can click the Born Pretty Store icon on the right side of this page to go to their site and use the coupon – or any other 🙂
Usually, items from Born Pretty can take a goodly length of time to arrive – this time, they arrived within 9 days. That is right up there with the quickest arrival from China, and I'm really impressed, and hoping that will be the new trend 🙂 I have a few other reviews to show shortly, and a few other items that I have bought myself, so yes, I do buy their products as well as being sent them 😀
Have a wonderful day
*Fox nail decoration sent for review. All other items bought by myself, opinions my own 🙂
Random Nail Post – including massage nails and nail polish jewellery
And I mean nothing nefarious by 'massage nails': I went on an awesome massage class leaning Lomilomi for a weekend, and well, I learned during my nursing training, and in the massage diploma course, that brightly painted nails can just not look quite right. (well, it's outright banned in most hospitals, and then your sense of what is appropriate becomes warped, more likely). Anyway! I cut my nails short for obvious reasons, and went with a very soft neutral Color Club pink and stamped a delicate pattern on my accent nail.
Oh, the ring? Why yes, isn't it gorgeous! My friend Serra from Peacock Pie makes the most gorgeous jewellery using nail polish, and I managed to snaffle this ring off her. And I love it 😀 It goes with everything.
The next is a polish I put on yesterday, to match a bustier I wore out dancing last night. The main colour is a deep red holographic Star Kin polish that I am planning on making available a bit later on in the year, called Holo Sailor. The stamp is done with a black holographic stamping polish I also made just for my own personal use.
The accent nail has two coats of Holo Sailor, and then put on a top coat (well, base coat, it dries slower!) and pressed on some holographic red and matte black square glitter into lines across my nail. I used the high tech method of a small wooden skewer which I dipped in water to pick up the glitters 😀 Topped off with two coats of proper top coat, it was still a bit rough to the touch but I wouldn't have been able to sand down wood with them, and all glitters stayed firmly in place.
With the bustier – you can see I reversed the colours, but it still worked fine for me 😀
And yes, it was a great night out, good band, good friends, danced for 4 hours. Happy Ami, tired Ami 🙂
Have a great day!
Ami the Happy and Tired 😀
Born Pretty Store Review: Geometric Metal Nail Studs
The second of my reviews for Born Pretty Store, this is for these cute geometric nail studs. I have a few studs (nails! Sorry, my life isn't quite that interesting hehehe), but these have to be some of my favourites now. Just so versatile!
There are 200 various sized studs here (according to the title, I didn't count them), and they are either silver, gold or red. So I combined them in this skittles mani over some yet to be released Star Kin polishes, and it ended up making a (very accidentally!) patriotic combo 😀
These are easy to work with: get the stud you want, and plonk it on your still-slightly-damp nail polish. With the smaller studs I tend to use a little skewer or a nail dotting tool which I dip into a bit of water in order to pick up the little things, and with the bigger ones I use tweezers.
Once on and in the right place, add top coat if you want them to last awhile. The red star was too large for my ring finger, it looks fine in the photos but the edges stuck over the curve slightly, and then they get lost during the day. Great for thumb nails though 😀
Like most 3D effects, this would be great for a fun day, or night out. I really quite liked this combo, and I made it through most of the day before losing a few studs here and there, though most I just removed and put back to reuse at a later stage.
I may go have another look through Born Pretty Store, they have loads of goodies 😀 If anyone is thinking of doing similar, my coupon code can be found on the widget at the bottom right hand task bar, click it or any of the links in this post, and feel free to use my coupon code AJBQ10 for a 10% discount 😀
Have an awesome day

Skydiving Nails :D
Saturday a week and a bit ago, I went skydiving with my mother and Sister V. My mother had gone the week before and was so hyped about it she wanted to go again (as in, immediately!) and offered to take my sister and I with her. Sister V leapt at the chance. I took a night to think it over and do the research .. .which all came back with, if something happens and I die in a tandem jump, it'd be a miracle. A nasty one, but none-the-less, miraculous (which I call Terry Pratchett's Miracle, as it was one of his amazing books that pointed that pointed that concept out to me) 😀
So… after that angst, next came the nail angst! (ok, and the have a shower / straighten hair / shave legs angst because hey, if you're going to fall out of a plane, might as well feel like you made the effort should someone have to lever you out of the ground, right?). But THEN came the nails 😀 I tried a few different combos, and they failed. The polish themselves worked, but little things like my eldest son bumping them etc etc.. so I went another option.
This is – mostly – Emily de Molly Hole in the Sky. My Sister C bought this for me (wheee!) and it is STUNNING. Perfect pale periwinkle blue with silver holo glitters including mid size silver holo dots. Just gorgeous.
The accent nail is Star Kin Cashmere as the base, stamped with Star Kin Green Shift (from the Bundle Monster plate) to make the earth, I filled in some more with a small brush and Green Shift, and then used the brush to fill Star Kin OhNo! around the edges for the space / starry sky. I feel like I could have done a better job, but I liked it overall. 🙂
And I LOVED Hole in the Sky. One, it's the perfect name for going skydiving. Two, I got to say 'I am wearing this so I can make a Hole in the Sky, and NOT a Hole in the Ground' – which is the kind of thing I really enjoy saying 😀 I am sad, yes. But I have fun with my type of sad 😀
And how was it? Amazing. I'm NOT a thrillseeker – I've been on one rollercoaster and hated it. I went for the experience, I wanted to know what it was like, I've always wanted to fly, and to take a ride in an open helicopter or something (ok, maybe I just don't seek all the thrills but there are a few…). And I'll admit, those first five seconds before the stabiliser parachute opened were the most terrifying thing. My tandem jump guru took me through a nice barrel roll during that time so I did get to look up at the plane as we fell backwards, sort of. I may have been quite busy screaming and trying to turn us over into a proper falling position 😀 BUT once I was in the proper flying position, it was amazing. We were still freefalling, we did 10,000 feet in 60 seconds, but there was some purchase (especially once the stabilizer chute opened), the view was amazing, and it was just wow. Then the main parachute opened and it was surreal and serene and glorious and I wish that I could parachute everywhere, every day. I didn't want that to end (though I did tell him off every time he tried to spin us – I don't like that feeling, plus I wanted the float down to last forever) :D. So, yes. Amazing. I'm not sure I'll do it again. O.K, I'm pretty sure I'll do it again.. but may leave it for when I need a life reboot. Because man it does that. YAHOOOOO! 😀
Have a great day, and may you find your own life reboot when you need one!
Ami 🙂
Spider decals from KKCenterHK – review
The other review post! These spider water decals were the other things I requested to try from KKCenterHK, and I'm so happy I picked them 😀
They are just AWESOME. Look at them! The squishy round 3D-ness of them. I do like spiders. I think they are fascinating animals. However, I do have a policy where if they do not jump on me, I do not jump on them. Fair's fair! So, no, I'm not one of those people who like to have spiders on me, but these don't creep me out at all. They'd be perfect for Hallowe'en, too.
Nails, right 😀 My pinky and index finger have two coats of Star Kin I Love Cookies and Cream, and then on the middle two fingers I have three thin coats of Star Kin Polished.
The water decals are easy to use, I flipped back the plastic cover and cut out the spiders I wanted to use, then one at a time dropped them in a saucer with a little bit of water in it – enough to cover, but not so much I needed to wring out the carpet if I dropped it (it's a clumsy time for me, ok? Don't judge me! hehe)Then I found it easiest to just sort of slide the spider so that an edge was sticking out over the backing paper, which I grabbed with tweezers and placed on my nail where I wanted it. Top coat and done, just that easy 🙂
One of the girls in the facebook polish group I'm part of said they looked badass 😀 I've never had that said before, and I kinda like it 😀
My coupon code at KKCenterHK is EVERYSENSORY, which will get 10% off 🙂

Indian Army Day - Facts Your Child Should Know About Army
Created by Hina Srivastava Updated on Jan 15, 2019
Fifty Years since independence and the Indian Army has been at the forefront, as the guarantor of the nation's freedom against external aggression. These army-men in uniform demand nothing from the nation but faces all kinds of troubles and deal with harassing situation while defending our borders. Somewhere it is a hostile enemy and somewhere it is the torturous weather, which challenges the survival every single day.
It is the love and dedications towards their call of duty that these guardians of ours, fight at the forefront. Now all that we can do as a nation and as its responsible citizens is to give them full support and understand the ethos of services. This gives them strength greater than any weapon to carry on in all circumstances.
Your Child Should Know These Facts Behind Indian Army
This Indian Army Day, while we salute all the soldiers and officers guarding our precious borders, let's learn about some quick and interesting facts about the Indian Army – the world's 2nd largest military force.
President-The Supreme Commander
The Indian Army is the largest component of the Indian Armed Forces. The President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind is the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces and the commander is General Bipin Rawat, Chief of Army Staff. The Army is organized into various combat arms like the Infantry, Armoured & Artillery, Engineers, Signal, Service, and Aviation along with other combat support arms. All these above arms have their own functional roles during war-time as wel asl peace settlements. However, the basic function of all is to maintain the national security and integrity of our nation from internal threats and external aggression.
The Origin And Little Bit Of History
The Indian Army has its origination from the East India Company during the British Raj. It eventually becamea national army after independence. Celebrated on 15th January, Army Day is an annual event which takes place in the national capital, New Delhi and other headquarters and marks the transformation of Indian Army from the aegis of British Raj into a self reliant Army. The reigns of the armed forces were legally handed over to the Indian Army. The then General, Field Marshal Kondandera M. Cariappa took over as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from General Sir Francis Butcher, the last British Commander-in-Chief of India on 15th January, 1949. Hence, this day came to be known as the Indian Army Day.
How Is Army Day Celebrated?
It is a day to commemorate the self-sacrifice of our courageous and valiant soldiers whose motto in life is "Service before Self". This day is celebrated in the form of parades and military shows wherein the army personnel display various drills and activities. It takes place at Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate and other Army offices and headquarters.
The 71th Indian Army Day Celebrations
India will be celebrating its 70th Army Day this 15 January 2018. We, as a nation, should always remember the hardships faced by our soldiers to keep their country and its citizens safe. We salute our forces and wish them a very Happy Army Day!
Jai Hind!

When I take my dog out for a walk, he ends up eating grass and then vomits. Does this sound familiar? You are not alone in your concern.
"Dogs love to munch away on grass, and some even make it part of their daily routine. Fortunately, most experts believe it isn't something you should worry about. So why exactly do they gobble up that green stuff in your yard?
Dogs, unlike their catty counterparts, are not carnivores. But they're not like your garden-variety omnivores, either. For tens of thousands of years, these opportunistic scavengers have devoured anything and everything, as long as it fulfilled their basic dietary requirements.
The modern dog, partly because of evolution and domestication, is no longer like its ancestors, which frequently ate their prey entirely, including the stomach contents of plant-eating animals. Instead, dogs today seek out plants as an alternative food source. Most commonly the plant is grass -- since that is what is closest at hand -- but wild canines are known to eat fruits, berries, and other vegetable matter, too," according to PetMD.
There are several reasons why your dog might be eating grass:
They are bored. If this is the case, giving them more exercise with help with that.
Nutritional deficiency
"Pica is the technical term for the disorder characterized by eating things that aren't food. Sometimes pica indicates that your dog has some type of nutritional deficiency, though it is often simply a sign of boredom, especially when practiced by puppies and younger dogs.
Dogs eating grass is actually quite common (it has been observed in wild dogs, too, and may be completely natural) and this form of pica does not usually cause too many problems. In fact, most veterinarians consider it a normal dog behavior. One small-scale study of 49 dog owners whose dogs had regular access to grass and other plants found that 79% of the dogs had eaten plants at some time. Another survey about plant-eating dogs found that grass was the most commonly eaten plant. On the chance that your dog's pica behavior is caused by a nutritional deficiency, switching to a better dog food, especially a high-fiber variety, could help alleviate the problem", states Pets.WebMD.com.
Don't feel well
There is a school of thought that dogs turn to eating grass when they don't feel well as a way to make themselves vomit, which in turn makes them feel better.
Improving digestion
Your dog might be eating grass to improve digestion, treating intestinal worms, or fulfilling some unmet nutritional need, including the need for fiber.
Typically grazing itself isn't harmful for animals. Consider that certain herbicides and pesticides used on lawns can be quite toxic, especially if your dog ingests the grass with the toxins on it.
Time to get concernedThe American Kennel Club reports that "if your dog's vomiting can be described as any of the following, then it is time to start getting concerned:
- Continuous vomiting
- Chronic vomiting
- Vomiting a lot at one time
- Vomiting with other symptoms, like fever, weight loss, lethargy, anemia, etc.
- Vomiting blood
- Vomiting with nothing coming up
- Bloody diarrhea
- Suspected foreign body ingestion
- Seizures
It never hurts to play it safe when it comes to dog health. The best way to find out if your dog's vomiting is normal or not is to call your vet".
If in doubt whether there is an issue or not, make sure you talk with your local veterinarian? Animal Care Center in Smyrna, GA, is owned and operated by Otto H. Williams, DVM.

It is no secret that the Wii U did not sell well. Even Ubisoft, which was a huge supporter of the console in the first few years of the Wii U's life, gradually lost interest. Unfortunately, this would lead to a game never releasing, despite the fact that the game was finished and rated by the ESRB. That game is Know Your Friends, a title that Liam Robertson takes a look at in a new video that was uploaded to the Did You Know Gaming? YouTube channel. Here's the video:
17 comments
There's a lot you can say about Ubisoft that they definitely deserve, but they're one of the few who have tried to make use of Nintendo's unique systems every gen. No More Heroes 1+2, Red Steel 1+2, and the Rabbid party games with the Wii, Zombie U and Rayman Legends (before Zombie U tanked, that was planned as an exclusive) on the Wii U, and Kingdom Battle on the Switch. That's a bunch of exclusives that made use of the consoles they were on.
To be fair, NMH 1 and 2 had little to no Ubisoft involvement, the idea for motion controls was all Suda51 and Grasshopper.
Yah that's an odd one, since it sounds like it was made with a bit more autonomy than usual and the publishers probably mostly handled just printing and promotion (since it has a different publisher for each region). That's very different from your typical "send us a monthly milestone video and let us tell you what we like and what you need to fix to get your teams payroll for the month."
But it's still a financial investment, and therefore risk, for Ubisoft to take on the publishing role. They support Nintendo more than most, is all I'm saying.
Zombi U didn't tank, it sold pretty well for a horror game released as a launch title.
"Yves Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of Ubisoft, is typically one of the biggest proponents of new systems, but betting big on the Wii U didn't work out well for the company. ZombiU, one of the most popular launch titles for the system with players, was not profitable, he says. Not even close. As such, he says, there are no plans (or even desire) for a sequel. It was, in fact, because of that game's performance that Ubisoft decided to make Rayman Legends a multiplatform game."
Essentially another local party game. Just what the Wii U did NOT need. Then again, it might have helped to lure some suckers into buying a Wii U… maybe…
local play party game.*
I am more looking forward to the Mario + Rabbits Kingdom Battle Donkey Kong Adventure DLC than the Mario story of this game.
This base has been free of trolls and now is the perfect time to finally reveal that i am commander quadraxis.
To be fair? I don't think this game would have sold well even on a system that at the time was dying. So not many people are clamoring for a release of it.

text: Share: Comments Print April 20, 2007 at 8:36 AM Answering your questions Posted by Bob Condotta Some questions posed the last few days so I'll try to get to some of them here: Question: Will incoming freshmen Chris Izbicki and Anthony Boyles play this season? Answer: While Izbicki is a highly-touted tight end, that is also the position that may be UW's deepest on its entire roster with Michael Gottlieb, Johnie Kirton and Robert Lewis all back, so the need for Izbicki isn't great, which would seem to indicate a redshirt year. UW does have some more immediate needs for depth (and playmakers) at receiver and Boyles will certainly get a long look in fall camp. But as I wrote here a while ago, new receivers coach Charlie Baggett says he tends toward the conservative route on playing true frosh, saying he's only had one who ever felt really was able to pull it off — Andre Rison at Michigan State. But UW has six scholarship receivers at the moment, several of whom are nursing nagging injuries in fall camp, so Boyles and some of the other frosh at that spot may be needed this fall. Question: I remember Dan Howell seeming to win the gold jersey all the time during fall camp. How is he doing this spring? Answer: Apparently pretty well. There was a funny moment during an interview the other day when Tyrone Willingham was asked about the linebacking corps and said "It's Howell, then we're working our way to the other ones." The meaning being that as of right now, Howell is about the only sure thing back there as the only returning starter. The team doesn't select captains until after the season, but I have little doubt if they picked them ahead of time, Howell would be one of the ones chosen. Queston: Who is working as the punt andd kick returners, and do they work on that during spring drills? Answer: To answer the second question first, yes, they work on returning during the spring. Roy Lewis remains the primary kick returner with Anthony Russo also in the mix. I know there is concern on here about Lewis doing those duties when he is also the team's best cornerback. But Willingham says he can't coach worrying about injuries, that he has to put the best players out there. Lewis averaged 18.8 yards per kick return last year and had one of 80 yards or so in the scrimmage the other day. As for punt returners, the players working there the other day were Russo, Louis Rankin, Cody Ellis and D'Andre Goodwin. Russo and Goodwin are listed as the two primary punt returners on the official depth chart. I would imagine that a handful of the incoming freshmen will get looks at both spots in the fall, as well. I'll try to watch this a little more carefully in coming practices and give a clearer report. Question: Is Paul Homer the only player so far to win a gold jersey, and is he running No. 1 at fullback? Answer: As of Thursday's practice (April 19), Homer appeared to be the only player to win a gold jersey, wearing it both Tuesday and Thursday. He is listed as the starting fullback right now, but backup Luke Kravitz is also seeing a lot of time there (though Kravitz is also seeing some significant duty at tailback with UW only having two of those, as well). I think fullback will be a little like the tight end spot with both players seeing some significant time, rotating into different roles as needed. Question: How does this offensive line compare to a Keith Gilbertson offensive line? Answer: That's kind of a hard question to answer. Do you mean Gilby's lines during the early '90s Glory Years? During his stint as Neuheisel's assistant? Or as head coach? Obviously, the talent isn't yet back to where it was during the national title time, so that wouldn't be fair in any measure. It's not to the 2000 team level yet, either, to be sure. As for Gilby's two years as head coach, things were so chaotic during that time that it's impossible to separate that from what was happening on the field. So guess that's not answering your question, really. I would say that with Mike Denbrock now in his third season as UW's O-line coach, we should begin to see some improvement based on that stability, though there are still some talent and depth issues that have to be addressed. But this is now the longest UW has had a line coach in place since Steve Morton held the job from 1992-98, a time during which the Huskies had some good O-lines, and that should begin to pay off. Progamming note: The Huskies are hosting their annual coaches clinic this weekend, and Willingham won't be available to meet the media today. With that in mind, this is going to be the one spring practice day I'm taking off, so there may not be any more reports on here today. But the team will practice again on Saturday and we'll report on that here and elsewhere. Also, here's our story today where I tried to update some of the key position battles of the spring.

The sun is bright today, and it's very quiet out here in the countryside. Exish is working around the property, doing this and that. The girls, (Pepper and Jez, his dogs), are running around, right behind him, and the cats are inside with me. I'm listening to Guns N Roses through my earphones…very low volume…just so I can hear enough to sing along.
Exish was asleep on the couch when I woke up this morning. I sat in my chair and watched him sleep for the longest time. His face looks nothing like the boy I married. It's weathered and hard looking now. His body, broken down after thirty years in the oilfield. I love his hands. They are rough and calloused…the hands of a hard working man. As I watch him, I'm taken with love and desire and pain…so much pain. I reached over and brushed the hair from his eyes and watched him a bit longer before waking him. When I did, I acted as though I had just gotten out of bed. Can't let the wolf know what the lamb has been up to…
I 'met' a man online yesterday. His messages were frightening. I could see that his words were carefully chosen and meant to leave an impact. They did. I liked it. Because I can be frightening, as well. And, I was. I can't help but laugh as I think about it. When engaging someone in a conversation geared specifically to cause intimidation and fear, never underestimate who you are…engaging. I learned the art of creating fear from my stalker, M, many years ago. I endured four long years of it. But he never once knew how afraid I was of him. In the end, he was the one afraid of me. Suffice to say that I don't do 'victim' very well, and I'm exceedingly patient when I need to be. If you're going to fuck with my life, you'd best not slip up, even once. If you do, I've got you. Game over. For M, it took four years. He was very good at what he did. Top of his game. But even the best can falter. Lucky for me. VERY unlucky for M. lol!
In any case, this man wants to meet. Admittedly, I was somewhat taken by his demented and twisted manner of chatting online. However, after talking to him by phone, I find him rather irritating. As it turns out, he is a very 'safe' person. I do appreciate that in a man. It's a great quality. But in contrast to who he presented himself as, 'safe' was a huge letdown. He reminded me of a hall monitor…somewhat of a tattle-tale. You know? I expected to hear something else in his voice when he answered. Instead, he sounded fearful. It made me feel bad. I coddled him for a bit to reassure him that I wasn't scary and I knew he wasn't, either, etc. Out of nowhere, he began to swear that he'd never stalk me, or otherwise insert himself into my life uninvited. He said he had no desire to have the sheriff show up at his door, cops all over the yard in front of the neighbors. WHAT??? It was as though he had actually experienced the situation. THAT was a type of creepy that I could not top, nor did I have a desire to. I explained that he would never have the opportunity to force himself into my life, anyway, because ol Margaret, (my trusty pistola), was always on duty. lol! Shit! What is wrong with people??? "Why, yes, I'd love to meet, date…make love to you. But, when it's over, I may have to kill you." Again…SHIT!
Yeah…I'm at a low point. Seems like I'm not doing much of a job at picking myself up, either. It's pathetic. I hate myself for it, but I'm feeling really low on strength, emotionally and physically. I just can't seem to get it together. And I'm 48 years old. That's pretty fucking old to be such a hot mess. My diet has gone to Hell in a handbasket since Exish has been home. Even when we get along, I'm nervous all the time when I'm around him and eat a lot more. My hair is falling out again and I just feel bad. I finished off another bottle of whiskey. I've been living here since the middle of April. Since then, I've consumed more booze than I have in the last ten years, altogether. Granted, that wasn't a huge amount, anyway, (I stay on top of my drinking issues), but it's too much for me. I have to nip this in the bud. I can't go out like that. It's so typical of someone in my gene pool. I come from a long line of highly functional alcoholics. And, like I said in a previous post, I seem to have managed to pass those genes on to my youngest son. So, there is no way I can drop the ball on this one. How can I help him if he knows that I'm a drunk, too?
Exish and I are going to move furniture around today. It's time to get things settled a bit more…decorate…nest. I actually love this little house. It feels like an apartment, which I LOVE, and has a decent layout. It's perfect for one person, great for two. I'd like to redo the bathroom some time in the near future. I want a huge soaking tub. The way the plumbing is situated, it would be just a cosmetic redo, so it wouldn't be too hard on the budget. But it's okay the way it is. I should just be happy with that. I never feel settled. I'm always thinking things could be better. In all fairness, I have had to move from a giant house into a one bedroom loft, basically. I think I deserve just one perk…Right? 🙂
I just wish I had a real partner in life. A man who has never hurt me, and never would. I'm not one of those people who gets stuck on how 'hurt' they are or have been. But I don't like living with the memories. I don't like that the lies and betrayal changed me. Yet, I can't change back. I don't even remember what I was like before. Not really. I know there were years, when the boys were little, that I was as happy as I've ever been. I kept a beautiful home, had lots of friends and family over all the time, had amazing parties. My children were happy and our house was always buzzing with the sound of children playing. It was just so…fun. And meaningful. Traditional. Loving. Those are things I barely relate to anymore. I feel so uncertain of where I should go from here.
Well, I should get going. I've rambled on about myself long enough…saying a whole lot about nothing.

DN2 had a swim meet this weekend so we've been running around with that a bit.
I had to work as a timer on Friday night and that was interesting - always fun.
I do have an observation though.
Lately the boys who swim have taken to wearing the suits called jammers, and they look like this:
And when you see a kid wearing this kind of suit, well it's almost obscene for the lack of coverage:
Now that's just an observation, I'm not going all Mrs. Robinson on anyone.
I did have plenty of opportunity today to work on something with which I have struggled for a while.
I don't want to jinx myself and say yet, so you'll have to wait.
Now I'm off to watch Here Come the Brides for a while and work on my project.

Nicole and Mike
He proposed in front of all his family on New Years Day, just minutes after the ball dropped! I knew it was in the works but had no idea when, nor that he would be so brave to do it in front of so many people.
His family was cheering so loud that I couldn't even hear a word he was saying so I just started nodding my head to say yes before he could even ask the question! I also found out later when watching a video, that he dropped the ring a few moments before and had a couple family members distract me while others were looking for it ! So glad he found it!
Special Thanks

Glow Worm Tunnel Newnes
Last time I attempted this outdoors adventure, it was a glorious failure. North Nomad had already moved back to Canada, and I had two weeks left in Australia before I joined him in Toronto.
I wanted just one more adventure with my Subaru in the bush. With my sights set on the Glow Worm Tunnel at Newnes, I followed the directions up the 34 kilometres of unsealed road from Clarence, and managed to drive right on past the trail, missing the Glow Worm Tunnel.
My spatial ability isn't the best…
Jump forward almost three years.
This time I was in Australia with North Nomad to navigate, and some fairly detailed instructions from Lithgow Tourism and Blue Mountains Tourism.
Just to be extra certain we didn't get lost, we dropped into Lithgow Tourism where Gai explained the directions to us and gave us some maps. She reassured me that she hadn't heard of anyone getting lost looking for this trail!
Having sold my poor Subaru to the knackers back in 2012, we had our trusty Hyundai hire car this trip. Now, because the insurance on your hire car is usually voided when you take it on unsealed roads, we had to get to the Glow Worm Tunnel a little differently.
If you have a car you can take on unsealed roads, you can get to the tunnel via a 34 kilometre unsealed road at Clarence.
Without such a car, you need to drive to Lidsdale, 10km north of Lithgow. You take Wolgan Road and drive for about 30km to the start of the track, which is sign posted on the road.
You do still need to do just under a kilometre of unsealed road, just past the Emirates lodge, but it's a surprisingly good quality unsealed road.
At the gate, we took our shoes off to walk through the river, to get to the 9 kilometre return hike ahead.
The water was icy-cold, but beautiful and clear. If it had been a bit deeper it would have been lovely for a swim!
Onwards, we had a steep incline for about a kilometre. I wasn't at my fittest after a lot of travel, and found this stage a little grueling.
It's also sandy with that orange dust I love in the Australian bush (or outback, as North Nomad likes to call it), so you need good, firm shoes so you don't slip.
The bush in this section is more sparse, so you also need good sunscreen and a hat to protect against suburn.
Beyond the incline, the landscape changes into denser bush and scrub. The roar of the cicadas at this point was deafening. I needed to block my ears at parts because it hurt!
And we wondered whether it was Monarch mating season, as we'd never seen so many of those rust coloured butterflies in one area before.
Closer towards the Glow Worm Tunnel, the landscape changes again. A creek appears and the trail runs parallel with it.
Ferns overtake this part of the hike, the trees are more lush, and it's cooler and damp.
The smell as we approach the tunnel reminds me of Jenolan Caves, so I can tell when we're close.
The entrance to the Glow Worm Tunnel is impressive – a huge hollowed out rocky area, previously part of the railway to Newnes Kerosene Shale Works.
It's pitch black inside the tunnel. Gai had warned us we'd need torches to see our way through. We find the light on our iPhones was more than sufficient to get us through.
It's also very chilly inside, and worth bringing a jacket. The path where the railway use to lie is uneven, but closer to the sides of the tunnel is much easier to navigate, where it's smoother and less wet.
When we get closer to the middle of the tunnel, North Nomad stops us and turns off his torch. The glow worms start to flicker into vision.
The longer without the lights, the more glow worms we see appear. They look like tiny stars in a midnight sky. It's beautiful; serene. And with the damp and the silence, a little spooky!
(Yes, that's two solitary glow worms we could capture without the flash. I didn't want to pester them, so didn't try too hard for a photo. You'll just have to do the hike to see them!)
Our walk back is not as strenuous as the walk up. And the icy water in the river is lovely and refreshing to walk through on the way back. If we had towels, I would have happily just sat there in the water for an hour to rest up.
Between the scenery, the sound of the cicadas, and the glow worms, this is possibly my favourite hike so far in the mountains and Lithgow area. And we recommend trying it out in Summer, when walking through a river is very appealing!
Getting there: Drive to the weir over the Wolgan River 7km before Newnes, and do the 9km return hike, walk or cycle in from Newnes State forest, or drive from Lithgow or Clarence (both roads eventually join up), about 25km bumpy dirt road, and walk 1km to the tunnel.

Tips: Wear good shoes and sunscreen. Bring a hat and torches. Gai from Lithgow Tourism also let us know that glow worms do no not like light or noise – and you can see them much better without shining your light on them.

The location I chose is at Yonge St. 5410, It's near the residential area, so people will be very convenience while they want to eat chicken wings. The restaurant is a median size restaurant, the range is usually serve to workers and students, between teenagers and young adults.
These picture is where my inspiration come from.
This is my 3 drafts.
This is what my logo looks like.
My logo's letters look irregular because of the style, the part fill with brown red is a dragon head, it makes the whole thing vivid, the letters part I use black and white, it gives a contrast, and the dot on the top of the "I" is represent aureole. How I got my inspiration is a wings picture, and my logo is similar to half of the wing, but I don't want it look too boring and soft, so I made it with a hard shape, and create the letters follow the shape. one of the hard part when i do my logo assignment is how to cover up the regular restaurant picture's logo. I went to google and search for it, now I get how to cover a picture's part in usual. If I do photoshop next and I need to put something into the picture makes it look normal I will use this skill.
This is what my logo in restaurant version looks like.

Michelle and Aaron's Friday reception at The Carolina Inn was great! Guests arrived around 6:00 for cocktails outside the ballroom and I was set up and ready inside. The doors opened around 7 and I got everyone lined up for the bridal party introductions. Everyone entered to "Party Rock Anthem" and that got the crowd rowdy. Lots of Aussies in attendance! Once the newlyweds hit the floor, it was time for the first dance, "Whatever It Is" by Zac Brown. Michelle and her dad danced next to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" by Brother Iz and then Aaron and his mom danced to "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts. The father of the bride welcomed everyone, the blessing was said and dinner was served. Great food!
After dinner, there were a few toasts, the cake cutting and then open dancing! From song one, it was an awesome dance response. I played a little bit of everything and only stopped for the bouquet toss ("Single Ladies") and garter toss ("American Woman"). We rocked all the way to the closing song "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton. Glow sticks closed out the night with a big departure for the new Mr. and Mrs. Ryder!
