We are excited to welcome June Cashmere to Spun!
June Cashmere's yarns rise well above the ordinary (even when the "ordinary" is cashmere!). Sustainably sourced from small family farms in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, processed at artisan mills in Great Britain, and finished in Maine, these yarns are manufactured with an eye toward community health and well-being. The care that goes into their creation yields cashmere of very high quality; properly cared for, garments and accessories made from June Cashmere's yarns will last a lifetime.
June Cashmere (from the Kyrgyz word "june," meaning "animal fiber") works directly with Kyrgyz shepherds, the owner and his family living in Kyrgyzstan and putting a portion of profits back into their community, primarily (so far) by improving local elementary school facilities (replacing defunct heating systems, buying kitchen supplies, and so forth). "We believe," says the company's mission statement, "that when a business deliberately aims to benefit everyone involved that amazing things happen."
We brought in a few kits early (see patterns below; click on any image to read all the details on Ravelry), which include yarn and a pattern, all tucked into a fair-trade June Cashmere project bag. (The pattern and bag are free with kits purchase.) These make great presents for yourself, and great projects for holiday knitting. We'll be getting unkitted skeins in over the next couple of weeks, but come see what we've pulled together: you're sure to find something you love.

3 Ways to Get a Handle on Your Calendar
You have to be a master juggler of time to be a successful bodywork practitioner. Between managing clients, charting sessions, and trying to find the time to get a bite to eat during the day, there's not much time left to work on your business.
But to have a successful and sustainable business, you MUST make the time to develop the business side of your practice.
If carving out chunks of time to do that work seems impossible, you might not need more time -- you might just need to get a handle on your calendar.
1. The first step to having a calendar that works for you is to get a calendar, period.
I'm astonished at how many bodyworkers try to remember everything in their heads -- inevitably something gets lost along the way, and chaos ensues.
Of course it does! Our modern world is lightning-paced, and there is simply too much for you to remember and plan for without a system for managing your time.
You need a system, but it doesn't have to be anything fancy.
My system is a planner called Passion Planner, and I use Old School pencil and paper to keep track of everything: no fancy apps or digitalized anything!
The key is to keep it simple and easy to use -- don't make the mistake of having a digital calendar AND a paper calendar. That just gives you twice the work, and the goal is to streamline and simplify.
Grab a system that works for you and USE IT.
2. Another great way to get a handle on your time is to use Post-It notes. I do this all the time, and I call it Sticky-Note Scheduling.
It's really a piece of cake - simply put one small task on each sticky note, and then put them into your calendar. If things change, you won't need to cross out or erase -- you can just move your stickies around.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.
I use this for Big-Picture Planning, too. Here's a shot of my planning wall for January:
I can easily move things around as I need to, and there's something so darned satisfying about taking down one of those stickies when I complete the task!
Try this for scheduling different parts of your life -- one color sticky note for your biz, another color for family time, and another for me-time.
You'll be able to quickly see where things are out of balance, and then take steps to get your life into a better state of flow.
3. Finally, experiment with blocking or chunking your time.
This is a technique you can use to save oodles of time.
Rather than going from task to task to task in a Tasmanian Devil whirlwind, chunk together tasks and get them done all at once.
You can write your email newsletters for the month in one sitting, instead of trying to find the time to do them each week.
Or, you can return client calls during one 30-minute chunk of time each day, rather than having your phone constantly within reach.
Time chunking also helps you because you can plan for it -- put these chunks of time into your calendar, and your schedule will be filled with ease, rather than panic.
These 3 easy tips -- having a simple calendar system that you actually use, Sticky Note Scheduling, and Time Chunking -- will help you free up the time you need to develop the business side of your practice.
And that will allow your practice to soar.

This charming Boca Raton restaurant brings to mind a time not so long ago when quality, service and style was as widespread as today's hum drum fast food experiences. At Pasta Fever, cooking is a disciplined art where the inventiveness and refinement of Chef Luigi Enriquez's classically modern cuisine shines through. Drawing upon his family's Italian heritage and his extensive experiences in Italy as well as leading restaurants in Miami and Los Angeles, the Chef is undoubtedly one of Boca's brightest culinary stars.
Impeccable service is provided by two accomplished waitresses, Suzy and Michelle, who supplied whatever information we thought relevant. While we perused the dinner and wine menus, they delivered a platter of crisp tomato laden bruschetta along with a saucer of scented olive oil and a basket of fresh baked bread.
Sparking crystal goblets, gleaming silverware and precisely folder napery decorate a dozen or so tables supplied with candles and condiments. Wall sconces and overhead chandeliers emit a soft red light that illuminates period photos, mirrors and prints. The overall charm is enhanced by an imaginative wall sculpture made out of thin rods depicting a bicycle bearing gifts.
The Chef's flair manifests itself immediately in the unique treatment of his starters. Escargot ($9.50) presents a cluster of tender mollusks heaped over a crunchy toast round. The ensemble is energized by a sublime rich sauce that enhances the flavor of each morsel. The Tomato Caprese ($9) delivers cuts of vibranttomato , fresh mozzarella, calimata olives, purple onions and a dusting of superlative aged balsamic drizzled over all the ingredients including clusters of fresh basil.
Wine is an indispensable adjunct to every great meal and this cellar draws heavily on imports, especially from Italy. Many labels are modestly priced and available by the glass. The Chef's featured wine this month is Villa di Campobello Chianti.
Every entrée we selected was an extraordinary feat. Snapper Francaise ($23.50) is a compelling creation featuring an exceptionally succulent filet sautéed with touches of white wine, butter and lemon, Veal Parmesan ($23.50) allows the delicate essence of the cutlet to shine through the gently seasoned tomato sauce and the fragrant mantel of mozzarella.
Rich, cool and crunchy, the mouthwatering Profiterole doused with homemade chocolate sauce walked away with the highest honors as did the satiny-soft luscious Chocolate Cake. The Chef's Sunset Dinners ($17.50) from 5 to 6pm and the Summer Menu ($25.50) offer extraordinary three course dinners. To learn more about Pasta Fever, log on to www. pasta-fever .com

A smaller version of our Bearded Viking Axe, with a solid bamboo haft, priced at $ 28- has been listed on
Archive for category Blades
Viking Axes and Weapons are considered collectors items, invoking reminiscences of the Viking age.
Vikings (In local vernacular- vikinger, vikingar, víkingar), were Nordic seafarers, primarily speaking the Old Norse language. They raided and traded across wide areas of Europe, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries.
One of their axes is popularly called the Bearded Axe or the Skeggöx (from Old Norse Skegg, beard + öx, axe), which was in vogue around the 6th century AD, a time period associated with Viking Age. The lower portion of an axe extends out like a beard, and hence the nomenclature. There are many variants of this design, in use by foresters, even today.
Our Bearded Viking Axe head is HOT FORGED in 6150 Steel. Equivalent grades- 735A51 50CrV4 50Cr4V2 EN47 6150 SUP10). Analysis Carbon 0.48-0.53% Silicon 0.15-0.35%, Manganese 0.70-0.90% Phosphorous 0.040% max, Chromium 0.80-1.10% Sulphur 0.035% max, Vanadium 0.15% min
The haft/handle is in bamboo. Bamboo has longer fiber and is said to be stronger than wood. Some of its mechanical properties are comparable with steel. Additionally, the species of bamboo that we use ( Dendrocalamus Strictus) is ALMOST FULLY SOLID, with a very small inter-nodal cavity. Because of its unique anatomy, bamboo has the quality of absorbing the shock, much as a shock absorber, thus making it a better material for hafts and tool handles. In India, most farm tools have bamboo hafts/handles
Overall: 24 inches
Weight: 1 kg alloy steel head, 300 gram, self locking SOLID bamboo handle
HRC 48 to 50

Rattan Cane and Bamboo are often confused with one another, despite them belonging to entirely different families.
Rattan Cane is a creeper-palm. The word "Rattan" ( Malay rotan) is a family of about 600 climbing palms belonging to subfamily Calamoideae (Greek 'kálamos' = reed).
Synonyms for Rattan- manila, or malacca (named after the ports- Manila and Malacca), Manau (Malay rotan manau, which is the trade name for Calamus manan canes). The climbing habit is associated with the characteristics of its flexible woody stem, derived typically from a secondary growth, makes rattan a liana rather than a true wood.
The largest rattan genus is Calamus, distributed in Asia and Africa.
Daemonorops, Ceratolobus, Korthalsia, Plectocomia, Plectocomiopsis, Myrialepis, Calospatha, Pogonotium and Retispatha, are found in Southeast Asia. Laccosperma (syn. Ancistrophyllum), Eremospatha and Oncocalamus are found in Africa.
The bamboos are grasses- evergreen perennial flowering plants of subfamily Bambusoideae, family Poaceae. Bamboos have hollow inter-nodal regions, though some are almost solid, e.g., Dendrocalamus Strictus and Membranaceous. The vascular bundles in Bamboos are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicot woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood makes bamboos columnar rather than tapering.
Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo has a higher specific compressive strength than wood, brick, or concrete and a specific tensile strength that rivals steel.
Bamboo and Cane agro-forestry systems, thus offer a sustainable option to save our forest cover, which is the backbone of human existence on earth.
Bamboo and Cane are an excellent raw material for handicraft industry.
The word bamboo comes from the Kannada term bambu, which was introduced to English through Indonesian and Malay.

Aug. 26: Cardinals 5, Pirates 4
For the second day in a row the Cardinals used a dramatic late inning home run to put away a game against the Pirates.
On Thursday Matt Holliday hit a three-run homer to put the game out of reach for St. Louis after Albert Pujols was intentionally walked. On Friday, after the Birds trailed the whole game, Lance Berkman hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the eight to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead that Kyle McClellan nailed down in the ninth.
The Redbirds looked like they would spoil Willie McGee bobblehead night when starting pitcher Jake Westbrook gave up a walk a double and a single to make it 2-0 Pirates before he could record an out. The defense was unable to turn a double play opportunity by half a step to make it first and third with one out so a long fly ball became a sacrifice fly instead of the third out of the inning and the Cardinals were down by three before they came to the plate for the first time.
In the bottom of the second Holliday walked and third baseman David Freese singled with one out. Catcher Yadier Molina, who has already established a single season personal best for home runs, cranked a ball down the left field line for his 12th round tripper of the year to tie the game.
The Birds surrendered a run to the Bucs in the fourth to fall behind 4-3. And the score stayed that way until the eighth inning as the Cardinals could only manage six hits on the night.
Albert Pujols struck out as he attempted to check his swing to start the bottom of the eighth. But Holliday walked to put the tying run on base and give Berkman a chance to put the club ahead. In dramatic fashion, the former Astro launched a ball to right field for his 30th homer of the season to put St. Louis ahead for the first time of the night.
McClellan, who pitched an uneventful top of the eighth, stayed in the game in the ninth to preserve a victory for himself and improve to 10-6 for the season.
After his rough start Westbrook settled down and at least kept the Cardinals in the game. He gave up a total of four earned runs on seven hits over six innings.
The bullpen pitched a total of three perfect innings. In addition to McClellan's work, Arthur Rhodes pitched a perfect frame.
Cardinals Star of the Game: Berkman
Cardinals Play of the Game: Berkman's game winning homer
Lowlight: Westbrook's lousy first inning

- Private eye to investigate shenanigans at Hurstville Council
- Hurstville mayor uses casting vote to suspend general manager
- I was set up, says Hurstville mayor
Hurstville Council will be placed into administration after Local Government Minister Paul Toole announced he has lost confidence in the council's ability to conduct itself properly.
The council was notified late on Friday afternoon that the minister intended to suspend the council for a three-month period and would install an administrator.
The shock move was prompted by the sacking of the general manager Victor Lampe.
Mr Toole said on Friday that an ongoing investigation into Hurstville Council "has identified what appear to be numerous failures of the required standard of governance and legal compliance".
He also said that the summary dismissal this week of Mr Lampe as well as other "serious issues" have raised concerns about the functioning of Hurstville council.
"If the suspension proceeds, an interim administrator will be appointed during the suspension period to undertake council operations," Mr Toole said.
Fairfax Media exposed the extraordinary actions of the property-developing Mayor Con Hindi earlier this year.
Cr Hindi, a Liberal, was facing fines in excess of $7000 for repeated failures to comply with orders from his own council staff to remediate an asbestos-riddled development site in Crump Street, Mortdale.
In May Cr Hindi, who was the mayor at the time, used his casting vote to suspend the general manager who was due to give evidence about Cr Hindi's problems over the asbestos later in the meeting.
Cr Hindi's backers, who include the current mayor, Labor's Vince Badalati, claimed that the vote to suspend Mr Lampe was because of allegations of misconduct on Mr Lampe's part which they claimed were unrelated to the asbestos saga.
After the general manager's removal from the meeting, Cr Hindi's backers were then able to vote to postpone any decision by council staff on whether to prosecute or fine Cr Hindi.
Mr Lampe has been suspended on full pay since May.
Earlier this month, Cr Hindi was found guilty of inappropriate conduct after he used his position to threaten a neighbour who had complained that Cr Hindi's excavations on the Crump Street site had caused subsidence on his block.
On April 23, using his mayoral title, Cr Hindi sent an email to his neighbour in which he not only blamed his neighbour for the subsidence but told him it was his responsibility to build a retaining wall to fix the problem.
"I am putting you in notice that if your storm water pipe ... channels illegally thorough [sic] the property my family will take the matter further," wrote Cr Hindi.
According to the council's code of conduct: "You must not take advantage [or seek to take advantage] of your status or position . . . in order to obtain a private benefit for yourself."
Cr Hindi claimed he never meant to intimidate his neighbour and that the mayoral signature is "automatically inserted when an email is sent".
However, an investigation by the Office of Local Government found that Cr Hindi "acted in a manner that: was improper; was an abuse of power or otherwise amounted to misconduct; caused intimidation of another person; caused a reasonable person [his neighbour] unwarranted offence or embarrassment."
Cr Hindi said he would appeal to the Office of Local Government because the investigator did not take all circumstantial evidence into account.
Cr Hindi has also been found guilty about his conduct in making false allegations about another councillor.
It is understood that Mr Toole has also been concerned about the resignations or removals of key staff such as a the head of planning and the internal ombudsman. The position of internal auditor and governance manager has been vacant since November last year.
"I am absolutely delighted that the Minister has finally intervened to stop this rot," said Cr Brent Thomas.
Labor Cr Thomas was one of a minority group of councillors who had been calling on the minister to intervene for some months.
The council has seven days to reply to the minister.
"The community of Hurstville deserves the highest standard of conduct of councillors as their elected representatives," said Mr Toole

CHARLESTON – Georganne Landis ran up a $333,442.86 bill divorcing orthopedic surgeon A. E. Landis of Beckley, and she wants him to pay it.
She has asked the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals to overturn a Raleigh County court order leaving the bill in her hands. The Justices are scheduled to hear the case Oct. 9 on their Argument Docket.
Circuit Judge Robert Burnside last year denied her motion to hold the surgeon responsible for her expenses.
Her attorney, Lyne Ranson of Charleston, wrote to the Justices this April that "Ms. Landis has no monies left in her retirement to pay her attorney, expert fees and costs."
His attorney, Elton Byron Jr. of Beckley, answered in May that "The Respondent has sufficient funds from which to pay her own attorney fees.
"If Dr. Landis can sustain his current earning capability, which is doubtful due to his age and health, he will still be financially disadvantaged when compared to the income and assets of Ms. Landis."
He wrote that, by court order, Dr. Landis would pay Ms. Landis $880,966.
Ranson answered that he owed her that much since December 2005.
"Ms. Landis has not received the first cent," she wrote.
As the Justices ponder who can better afford it, they will need to examine how the divorce happened in the first place.
Ranson aims to pin the bill on the surgeon by pinning the blame on him.
"... fault must be considered and given appropriate weight when deciding who pays the fees and costs," she wrote. "... this marriage would not have been dissolved, but for Dr. Landis' continued affair with his X-ray technician."
Ranson wrote that his infidelity devastated Ms. Landis, and that Dr. Landis and the technician are engaged to be married.
Dr. Landis' attorney answered.
"Ms. Landis could not come up with any evidence to support her allegations of fault on the part of Dr. Landis and by agreeing to the substantial settlement which Ms. Landis has received in this case, she has elected not to produce any evidence if it, in fact, even existed," Byron wrote. "Therefore, fault cannot be considered in this case because there was no fault shown."
Ranson then replied.
"Ms. Landis did not want a divorce from Dr. Landis," she wrote. "She wanted to keep her family together."
She wrote that because they resolved the divorce before trial, it was never necessary to present facts of his misconduct. Ranson also said he obtained a pager though he was not on call and used it to talk to his married X-ray technician.
"The cell phone bill was sent to his private post office box and paid by a separate company check," she wrote. "Furthermore, while the parties were married, Dr. Landis was out of town and staying at a hotel in Charleston, West Virginia."
She wrote that on June 4, 1999, at 1:06 a.m., "Ms. Landis called Dr. Landis at the hotel and his female X-ray technician answered the hotel room phone and handed the telephone over to a very sleepy and groggy Dr. Landis."
Dr. Landis bounces blame back at Ms. Landis, for spending so much.
Byron told the Justices she retained several attorneys and experts, and it was her choice to terminate them and no fault of Dr. Landis.
"Dr. Landis should certainly not be responsible for her inability to sustain a compatible relationship with her attorneys and experts," he wrote. "The problem in this case was that nothing would satisfy Ms. Landis and she insisted on continuing to dig for information that simply did not exist.
"What made this case complex, protracted, or contentious was the personality of the Respondent who was hell bent on attempting to destroy the reputation of Dr. Landis which she fell short of doing."
Ranson replied, "Dr. Landis continuously removed, dissipated and transferred marital monies that had to be tracked and subpoenaed because Dr. Landis would not provide the appropriate documentation."
They clashed over whether she could work.
"Ms. Landis has been out of the work force for nearly 20 years," Ranson wrote. "Ms. Landis does not have the ability to be employed ..."
Byron wrote, "... she is highly educated, intelligent, has independent wealth and real estate holdings aside from what she has received from Dr. Landis and has the ability to continue in gainful employment."
Last of all, they clashed over which of them was in worse shape.
Ranson wrote that Ms. Landis moves with pain and difficulty due to diabetes, arthritis, joint and disc degeneration, and four collapsed discs.
Byron replied that there was no evidence to support her allegations.
"The fact of the matter is that Dr. Landis is fast approaching the age of 65, is not in good health, and has had his income substantially depleted by court ordered obligations," he wrote.

Birmingham City have signed Scottish midfielder Chloe Arthur on a two-year deal from Bristol City.
She is manager Marc Skinner's second signing of the summer as he looks to build on last season's fifth-place finish.
"I'm really looking forward to it," said Arthur speaking to Blues TV.
"I needed a new challenge and having played against Birmingham I know they have a really good team and they're a tough team to play against.
"They're a possession-based team and it suits my game. It's the type of team I need to be involved in to develop as a player.
"I spoke to Marc and he explained that he's always looking to improve the team and that nobody can take their place for granted.
"I've got to fight for my place and then as a team we have to prove to everyone that we're here to fight for silverware."
Arthur has six caps for the senior Scotland side so far, having also played for the U17s and U19s.
Her last appearance for Scotland was back in October, in a 5-0 win over Albania.
She will be hoping the move puts her closer to nailing down a starting place in Shelley Kerr's Scotland team.
The 23-year-old began her career in Celtic's youth academy before moving to fellow Scottish side Hibernian.
Her time at Hibs closely resembles the fortunes of the Blues in the Women's Super League era.
She made the Scottish Cup Final in 2015, eventually losing out to Glasgow City.
Hibernian also came close to winning the Scottish Premier League, which would have been their first title win in eight years, missing out again to Glasgow City.
Her time in Scotland did not go unnoticed and she joined Bristol City in 2016.
She made 28 appearances for the club, scoring five goals from midfield.
Arthur will return to Scotland this weekend as Blues take on her former nemesis Glasgow City.

Members at Golden Valley Health Centers (GVHC) rallied in support of their bargaining team on Thursday evening for better wages and cost of living increases. The major struggle in negotiations is restarting the pay step system. While GVHC has a pay step system in place, there is no language in the contract that propels members through the steps. Many workers are still stuck at the A and B steps despite many years of service.
Members came to the board meeting and delivered 300 signatures on a petition in support of their bargaining team. The board president was clearly moved by the presentations. He responded by telling a story about his own life and told the group that "There are no hard hearts at this table."
Delia Mendoza, a patient care coordinator for pregnant women, said, "Every worker shares the commitment to serving the underserved in our community. This is about getting and keeping the best workers to serve the people of this area."
There's some trouble at the hospital with turnover and retention because of working conditions and the lack of an established system for advancement. Those who stay do it because they are passionate about doing the work that they have been called to do. That passion and sacrifice for the community can also come at a great cost to the workers and their families.
"This is a battle for basic fairness." said Joanna Lee, medical assistant. "We give a lot to our community and we're asking for a little help so we can continue to do that."

Have you ever needed to download a file from a download site, only to play a virtual game of hide and seek of "which is the real download button and not the one that will install shady malware if I click the wrong one?" Or those "your flash player requires an update" ads? Google has taken them on in their next phase of Safe Browsing.
Consistent with the social engineering policy we announced in November, embedded content (like ads) on a web page will be considered social engineering when they either:
- Pretend to act, or look and feel, like a trusted entity — like your own device or browser, or the website itself.
- Try to trick you into doing something you'd only do for a trusted entity — like sharing a password or calling tech support.
Someone posted an image some time ago on imgur saying that it was like trying to defuse a bomb to figure out which button was the real one and which ones were ads.
The other types of ads that Google cites are the fake software update ads that don't actually lead to the true site, but scare people into thinking they are required to download updates, which actually intalls malware.
Many of the less reputable ad networks use these types of ads because they have a high accidental clickthrough and because nearly all of them download malware or adware onto the end user's computer. So if you are running any ads like this, you need to be aware that your site may now be flagged with the red interstitial warning searchers from clicking through to your site.
It probably won't be long before we start hearing about which ad networks are getting sites flagged, similar to how Bidvertiser is commonly associated with malware flags, or if some of the less reputable ad networks stop running these types of ads.

The thing about a residency is, you never know what you'll do until you get there. At Can Serrat, near Barcelona, I was fascinated by the olive jars and garden urns on the grounds outside the building, and so began a group of sketches and watercolors that documented those forms and led me to others. Among the paintings that came out of that experience are Spanish olive jars and cazuelas, a biconical vessel from the Danube Valley, 5000 BC, and depictions of pieces from my own collection of vases and pots.
It's never my intent to describe things exactly as they appear, but rather to be accurate and honest in bringing them to the canvas. With these paintings, I often felt as though I were shaping the forms as a potter would, in three dimensions rather than two.

my fear of being too much.
I shake the hand of someone who holds an unfamiliar face. A few words in, I'm adding sugar and honey to my personality. I cherry pick and showcase my sexiest traits. As people, we do everything we can to sweeten ourselves into a version of ourselves we think others will respond to. For me, this means I water my personality down for the constant voice … Continue reading my fear of being too much.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans bought slightly more new homes in October, the Commerce Department said Monday, but the median sales price fell to its lowest level of the year. And the annual sales rate is trailing last year's, which was the worst in half a century.
New-home sales increased 1.3 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 307,000, the department said. That was less than half the 700,000 that economists say indicate a healthy housing market.
September's figures were revised down significantly to show a weaker rate than first estimated. The 323,000 new homes sold last year were the fewest since the government began keeping records in 1963. This year is not faring much better.
Sales were uneven across the country. They increased 22.2 percent in the Midwest and 14.9 percent in the West. But they were unchanged in the Northeast and fell 9.5 percent in the South.
While new-homes sales represent a fraction of the housing market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
Many builders have stopped working on new projects because they cannot obtain financing. The number of new homes for sale in the United States fell in October to a record low of 162,000.Continue reading the main story
Builders are also struggling to compete against cheaper resales, even as they lower their own prices. The median sales price of a new home fell 0.4 percent in October from September, to $212,300.
Steven Wood, chief economist at Insight Economics, said the small number of new homes for sale should help the housing market recover quicker when prices began to rise.
But he said, "A sustained rebound in new-home sales appears unlikely."Continue reading the main story

If you have not seen the movie "Chocolat" rent it! - it is wonderful! I have looked for this recipe off and on for months and finally found it through e-mailing an Australian confectioner. This drink is as close as we can get with modern ingredients to the Mayan drink (from the movie) - it will cure anything from PMS to heart disease to a broken heart.
This can be made and then chilled and served cold... but even in 100+ heat..it is sooo good in the morning. Better than coffee! I used more hot pepper than called for ;-)
Serves 6.

Winnipeg Filmmaker Sets Out to Explore the Realms of Canadian Folk
Published Apr 07, 2015Winnipeg-based filmmaker Paul Plett is turning to his fellow Canadian music fans for help with his latest project. He's currently working on a documentary about folk music in Canada, aptly titled Northern Folk, and he's launching a crowd-funding campaign to help move along the process.
The Indiegogo campaign launches today (April 6) and will run for 30 days. Funds raised will be used by Plett to conduct further research and experience the vast array of folk music our country has to offer — beyond Manitoba and Ontario.
"I'd love to visit Halifax, Montreal and Vancouver to get a more complete picture of what folk music is like across Canada," he said in a statement.
Plett expands a bit more in the description of the campaign, saying:
I want this documentary to tell the story of folk music in Canada. What it means to be a musician, and what it means to be a folk artist. But more importantly, I want to explore the philosophy behind music, and behind creativity. What drives musicians to be creative and what inspires them to write music. … If I don't reach my goal, I'm still going to do everything I can to make this film. This is a passion project for me, and even if I can't travel from coast to coast, this is still a documentary that I'd like to see. So no matter what, Northern Folk will be completed! The funds just help make the film a bit bigger, and allow me to tell the story that I'd truly like to tell.
You can watch a trailer for the film below, featuring interviews with local singer-songwriters. Check out or contribute to the Indiegogo campaign over here.

One of the problems I have noticed with many of the firms we work with is that they don't win nearly as many proposals as they could.
Some recognize this as a problem… but many don't think much about it.
What keeps most technical consulting firms from winning more business? While many will point to competition or market conditions, I'd argue that the key factors are internal. Here are the three most common reasons firms aren't winning more business:
Consulting firms don't make the time to pursue more business
Time is the most critical resource of consulting firms and investing unbillable time chasing business can be a major challenge. Gaining time back while maintaining or increasing utilization is the holy grail in consulting.
While I obviously think the answer to gaining time back lies – in big part – in using a proper software solution, process is a big part of that too. In fact, software is the tool that both facilitates and enforces following adequate processes.
By designing processes that drive efficiency and leveraging software to manage and improve your processes you can gain efficiency – you can get A LOT of time back. This is one of the primary focuses that drives the vision for our software and I will spend a lot of time discussing this in future posts.
Proposals are of poor quality
We see lots of challenges with proposals, from the form of the proposal (your old Microsoft Word template might look outdated and clumsy) to a lack of detail (proposals with more details generally win more business).
The biggest factor isn't in the proposal itself but the follow up and focusing on the importance of the relationship with whom you've made the proposal. In addition to taking the time and energy to improve on the quality of proposals, taking the time to manage the relationship and follow up is of critical importance. The activities and the process of following up needs to be managed and tracked like any other.
Firms don't track their proposal win/loss ratio
Most firms I talk to are focused simply on determining how much business is coming in to maintain their current business flow. They don't track the ratio in which they win new business in an effort to focus on improvement – and as a result are missing out on growing their business.
As a starting point, I recommend using a simple spreadsheet. Every proposal that is made gets entered with some basic information: who, when, the time invested and a subjective assessment of whether it as a good or bad proposal. Then, use this simple formula to keep track of the ratio on a monthly basis.
What next?
My advice is: make it your number one priority to make more time, for you, and for your team. Every other action will be easy once you achieve that.

Result #49: Sad to announce another failure... Happy to announce I'm going to get back on this project pretty soon./
#49 Write a biweekly series of short stories based on Apartment Infinity.
Date: 2-18-2014
Due date: 2-18-2014
Resolution: A few years ago I wrote a series of short scripts called Apartment Infinity. This series is based on my short film The Infinite Flu. At the time it was meant to be a web series. A couple people expressed interest in shooting this series, only I can barely afford to produce a short film once a year, let alone an entire series.
Since I started this blog I've started to rethink my goals as a writer. Up until a few months ago I thought of myself as a screenwriter only. Now I'm beginning to see the freedom of write with the written word being the end goal.
I'm not really good at being the one to rally the troops. I love to write and I write a lot. For the past 16 years I've been writing with the hopes that someone will find my work interesting enough to take it off my hands and run with it. I'd be down to help out of course, but I need someone else to steer the ship while I battle with my insecurities.
I'm now seeing the flaws in this strategy. The main problem is that I don't feel comfortable reaching out to others, so I rarely get my work into the hands of anyone who can take the reins. This leads me to feel my work is flawed without any input. The other problem is, with film you NEED others to turn your writing into the end product, there's no other way.
My new strategy is to get my work out there in its written form. Using this blog as an outlet I no longer have to count on others for the end product. My main goal will continue to be to get my work on the screen, but I'm just going to use a different strategy to get there.
Starting Friday, February 28th I will post an adaptation of my pilot episode of Apartment Infinity and then post a new chapter every other Friday for the rest of the year. By the end of this process I should have enough content to create a novel and then begin to experiment with self-publishing.
I look forward to sharing my stories with you!!!
Update #1: Installment #1: An Awkward Introduction.
Date: 2-28-2014
Though I didn't plan today to be the date of the first installment of Apartment Infinite because of the proximity to my birthday, but since it happened I'm going to capitalize on it by asking as a birthday present if you would please go to this link http://www.wattpad.com/40404950-apartment-infinity give it a read, and a review. It's only three pages and I promise you'll like it.
I just found out about Wattpad.com and am not fully sure what to expect from it, but as part of my attempt to branch out and write for various mediums this will be my outlet to complete this resolution.
I'll post links and reminders but if you read installment one and like it, you'll be able to read a new installment every other Friday for the next year or until the story is complete, which ever is longer :)
I'm always looking for editors, illustrators, and graphic designers to help to make my work look more visual and professional looking. If you are interested drop me a line. It would be voluntary at this point, but who knows? If I make a dime and you help you will make a portion of that dime.
Thanks in advance for your participation/birthday gift :)
Update #2: Installments 2-14
Date: 2-21-2015
Click here to read the completed installments of Apartment Infinity.
Update #3: The Conclusion.
Date: 2-21-2015
This is another resolution that I am very bummed out that I failed. I got over half way through when all of the sudden I missed a day. I hit another one of those moments of doubt when it seemed that no one noticed or seemed to care (I was going through a hypersensitive phase at the time.)
I never meant to give up on the story but once more and more time passed the harder it was to get back into right mood to write this story. As I get more and more settled into my new home I can feel that my enthusiasm and productivity levels are on the rise.
I promise I will redeem this resolution and have 26 chapters of Apartment Infinity by the end of the year.

Stone is also popular in a bathroom vanity countertop for its natural appearance. When people decide to redecorate their bathroom, they often change their bathroom vanity for many reasons. It could be wanting to change the size, the design or just to replace an old vanity.

Matthew 28: 18 -20 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
I was so inspired by Pastor Delton's message on Sunday, as he shared with us our Mission Mandate at Point of Grace:
"Connecting Real People to a Real God, who Living Connected, Connects others"
The first part of this statement: "Connecting Real People to a Real God" is the original mission from the beginning of this church 15 years ago.
The second part: "Who Living Connected, Connect others" is what the Spiritual Leadership Team wants to add to our mission to make it more complete.
This addition to the original is right in line with Jesus' "Great Commission".
First Jesus came and connected the disciples and others to God, and then commanded them to go and do the same for others. The disciples in order to fulfill this commission had to first believe and then stay connected to God through the Holy Spirit and then went out and began helping others to connect to God.
We are to continue with Jesus "holy orders" we are to Be Followers of Jesus ourselves and also "Make Followers of Jesus" as in Delton's sermon notes.
The wonderful thing about this Mission Mandate is that everyone who becomes a believer and follow of Jesus becomes a part of the mission mandate!
It's also exciting to know that we matter to God so much, that he values us and wants us to be a part of the team.
WE connect to God, get excited about it , we share with others who get connected and so on. Like when we all joined hands in church to illustrate how we are each connected to God through the Holy Spirit and to each other through Jesus.
WE don't have to go very far either to look for others to connect to God, they are right in our own families, our neighborhoods, communities and at our work places.
We are to continue this commission until the end of the age!
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for coming, and reconnecting us with God. Thank you that we get to be a part of your mission to reach the whole world and connect them with God too.
We know that it is a big task and that we cannot do it with out the Holy Spirit. Help us to stay connected to you each day through prayer, reading your word and obeying what you have commanded us to do.
Help us to be connected to other believers through you. That we may help each other as needed to stay connected to you.

If you've read a newspaper in the last week, you probably noticed the minor snafu that occurred with some NHS trust computers. In that they were held to ransom, and all of the files on the infected computers were completely inaccessible.
But what does this have to do with photography? Well, my question to you is: where are your photographs? Because if they live on your computer, what would you do if your computer was held to ransom? Or when the inevitable happens, and your hard drive fails? (Which it will.)
Having a good back-up procedure is important (at least one copy on another drive, preferably not connected to your computer). But even better is (you know where I'm going)... to print your photographs.
A print will last much longer than you (the earliest photographs, from the 1820s, are still surviving), assuming you don't burn it or take it in the bath (and you'll have no better luck doing that with your computer…). And, kept out of direct sunlight, it'll fade less quickly than your hard drive will degrade (or your media become obsolete).
So, before the worst happens, find your favourite images and send them off for printing. You'll thank me in 20 years...

West Views: Oregon must move on peacefully
East Oregonian (Pendleton)
January 26, 2016, will rank among the darkest days in modern Eastern Oregon history. And that darkness is far from over.
One man was killed, eight others were arrested, and tension has been ratcheted up once again at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns. What for 24 days was an occupation and protest can now only be described as a standoff between insurrectionists and the government.
Our ability to navigate this tense situation without further bloodshed will be put to the test.
The chances are not good. Armed protesters have sworn to die before they surrender. And federal authorities have brought in concrete barriers and floodlights, and have cut off reinforcements and physical contact with the outside world.
Bloodshed is what everyone has been trying to avoid from the beginning of this protest, but on Tuesday night they were unable to do so. Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was killed while en route to a community meeting at John Day. The details of that event are not yet known, though it hasn't stopped thousands from speculating on it.
We live in a snap-judgment world, and the Internet doesn't have time for facts. They can be made up to fit a narrative, and then passed along and shared enough times that they begin to carry an air of truth. It's the telephone game on steroids, and few will stick around (and then trust) what is eventually released by law enforcement through the slow-moving wheels of the justice department.
It's terrible that a man died. He shouldn't have. However, we will hold off on assigning blame.
The last three weeks have been hell on Harney County, and the highways that surround Burns look more like Baghdad. Few Oregonians are among those remaining in the national wildlife refuge. With the loss of their leaders, who knows how this will play out and what damage to life and property and environment will be done.
America must support the right to protest. It's the First Amendment for a reason.
No one should be injured or killed or threatened or jailed because of something they believe.
But, as was said by the FBI in Burns on Wednesday, actions have consequences. The occupiers are the reason why Burns feels more like a war zone. They stole and used vehicles that did not belong to them. They took property that was not theirs. They destroyed fences without permission. They built roads unbidden and rummaged through countless Native artifacts that they had no right to. This vandalism needed ending.
We can argue — and we should argue — about the finer points of the Hammonds case, the Bundys case, about the BLM's grazing policy, the decline of rural economies, the importance of peaceful protest and armed demonstration. We need to have those discussions.
But this is America, and we make those changes through a democratic system.
We all have our problems with this country, and everyone has a list a mile long of things they would change. So we vote for people we like and we think will make things better. We convince our friends and neighbors to do the same. And if we're being mistreated or not being heard, we have the courts and we have marches down Main Street.
We do not arm ourselves to the teeth, take things that are not ours, intimidate and harass those we disagree with. We especially cannot allow that to be the status quo for the difficult slog of public lands management, which will forever be a contentious issue.
Tuesday's events have a chance to spiral out of control and leave Eastern Oregon a more desolate, bitter, angry and violent place than before.
It will take the strength of our communities, our love of country, and our trust in one another to rise above it. We must do it.

When you have a nose for junk, you can find it anywhere. Remember the vintage typewriter shirt I found at a concert recently? Well… here's to more junk in all the wrong places! A couple of weeks ago I went to an art show and came a cross this fantabulous exhibit: Rummage Haus at Stella Haus. The artist had pinned all kinds of junk, each piece with its own little story, to all the walls in her space. I snapped these pictures:
just to give you an idea of what the installation was all about. Totally cool! It was an idea she borrowed from a fellow artist and adapted for herself. So… now I'm considering "borrowing" the idea to tag all the junk I'll be putting in my new space May 1. My stories will be short and most will be made up, but some will be based either on true events or people I know. I'll probably confuse the heck out of my customers, but I think it'll be fun and challenging to keep with it. My new space is called "Salvage Sanctuary," so I'm calling these tales "salvaged stories." The first story I'm working on will go with a flower frog display and will discuss the time-honored tradition from my childhood of catching tadpoles after a good rain. Once it's ready, I may post a sneak peek. We'll see. So… to the Rummage Haus artist, whose name I can't remember, props to you and yours. If you get a chance to come see the junk I sell and how I turned your idea around, I'd welcome a visit. Your junk was incredibly inspiring!
Here's a link to more photos, and possibly a fuller story: http://attheloft.typepad.com/photos/first_friday_april_2009/index.html.

For the first time in the history of the NFL or television, there's a double-doubleheader on today. It's just a shame that Fred Smoot's not going to be around to take part. To see which four games you're getting today, peruse today's NFL Schedule, and then have a peek at today's NFL TV distribution maps.
But other than the NFL, with the exception of a few scattered college basketball games, the sporting landscape seems to be taking the day off. Seriously. Look:
12:00, ESPN Classic. MLB Baseball. 2006 San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Dodgers. Because New Years Eve makes me think of one thing: Football.
1:00, Fox Soccer. Premiership. Chelsea vs. Fulham. Here's the upside to you not following soccer: I mentioned this game yesterday, but you didn't read it, so you don't know who won ... which means you can enjoy this one. Sweet.
1:00, NFL Network. Make Your Own Super Bowl Ad. Who's watching this instead of actual football...
1:00, Fox Sports. College Basketball: San Jose State @ Duke. Actual sporting event. I guess FSN doesn't get a chance to show Duke very often.
3:00, Fox Sports. College Basketball: Dayton @ North Carolina. See above.
3:00, Fox Soccer. High School Soccer. 2006 West Coast Classic Final. Not only is it a high school soccer game, it's a replay of a high school soccer game. Someone's going to get fired.
5:00, Fox Sports. College Basketball: Washington @ UCLA. This appears to be the one non-NFL event taking place this afternoon that's worth watching.

Tearaway Toboggan
|Tearaway Toboggan
|Hot Pursuit
|Notable features
|The Kongs ride the toboggan for a majority of this level.
|Bonus level(s)
|Animal Buddies
|Enemies encountered
|Skiddas, Knik-Knaks, Buzzes, Booty Bird, Koin
|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
Tearaway Toboggan is the second level of K3, unlocked by getting through Krevice Kreepers.
In this level, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong ride in a high-speed toboggan, and along the way, they encounter pitfalls and small, snow-covered houses. They must jump over abysses and watch out for Baron K. Roolenstein's minions. Buzz are a common enemy in this level, and can be jumped on for a height boost while riding the toboggan. Skiddas are also found aplenty, being mobile enemies that are sometimes found in groups. Knik-Knaks are also found in this stage, serving as immobile obstacles that usually reward the player for jumping onto them.
The toboggan could be considered tricky to maneuver, due to its speed. Sometimes, the toboggan will have to ride atop the small houses' roofs to progress through this level. The level's Koin is found by going east of the End of Level Flag, and a Green Extra Life Balloon can be obtained by utilizing a Team-Up throw towards the northeast corner of the level's end. After raising the level flag, the next level, Barrel Drop Bounce, opens up.
- Booty Bird: 1
- Buzz: 18
- Knik-Knak: 5
- Skidda: 12
- Bear Coins: 6
- Barrels:
- DK Barrels: 3
- Steel Kegs: 1
- DK Coin: At the end of the level, after the Kongs disembark the toboggan, they are fired at a Steel Keg, which must be carried past the Level Flag and tossed at a wall behind Koin. When thrown, the Steel Keg ricochets off the wall and defeats Koin, who drops behind a DK Coin.
- Extra Life Balloons:
- Red: 1
- Green: 1
- K-O-N-G Letters:
- K: Above a house found after some Buzz near the start of the level.
- O: Located next to the second pit from the Star Barrel.
- N: Shortly after the first house ahead of the Star Barrel, the "N" Letter is at the left side of a depression in the path.
- G: Located right before the two small houses near the end of the level.
Bonus Levels
- Bash the Baddies!: The first Bonus Barrel is near the start of the level. Dixie and Kiddy must jump into a Barrel Cannon above a red Buzz. The cannon should blast the two at a bottom-right angle so that they land in an invisible Bonus Barrel. In this Bonus Level, the Kongs have to defeat three flying Knik-Knaks within fifteen seconds. Because they are in midair, the lead Kong must toss the following one at the Knik-Knaks. There is also a DK Barrel in this room. When the three have been defeated, a Bonus Coin appears at the rightmost area.
- Collect 50 Stars!: Near the end of the level, right after the letter G, are two houses: beneath the second house is a Buzz adjacent to a Bonus Barrel. The lead Kong (Dixie or Kiddy) must carefully jump over Buzz and avoid landing on the house's rooftop and instead in the Bonus Barrel. In the Gameboy Advance remake, the Buzz in front of the bonus barrel was removed, making it much easier to get into. In this Bonus Level, the Kongs ride in a toboggan rapidly moving downhill. They must collect fifty stars, some positioned on or under log cabins, within ten seconds to summon a Bonus Coin at the end of the area.

The form of the poem organizes our sensory and felt experience as we read. It supports and disrupts what the language is saying. The line slows the sentence down. The line makes a dance inside the sentence. The line breaks open the sentence. The line registers what the sentence tried to contain. The line takes a walk as Paul Klee described it in painting. And because the line can make these many moves it lets us do more with words than the sentence with its rules of grammar and conventions of speech can do. The repetition of lines in a poem, its form and body and interruption of space and time, allows for many patterns and connections to weave meanings of their own. Every different kind of line has a music and attitude that enters into what you are writing. These are simple experiments with line that will show you what is possible with the poetic line.
Week 1: Three lines: three poems
Week 2: Choosing a line
Week 3: The emerging line
Week 4: Holding the sentence open
Week 5: When the sentence behaves like a line
Week 6: The line takes a walk

She has a 2006 book of poetry Lives of the Puzzleworkers, as well as work in the anthologies Pontoon and Northwest Edge. She has a Ph.d in English and American Literature with a specialization in poetry and poetics, as well as a M.A. in Jungian Clinical psychology; for her, the two go hand in hand because they are both deeply about the creative process and coming into language. She has taught Graduate Seminars on H.D., Dickinson, Sexton, Plath, Brigit Kelly, Olga Broumas, Joy Harjo, Anzaldua, Ai, Levertov, Brooks, Lorde, Hahn and Rich, and is a trainer, educator and practitioner in psychodrama and sociometry. Brigid has a private practice and continues to lead a variety of workshops in both areas. Her goal in her work at Corporeal Writing is to develop workshops that help artists get into a relationship with themselves so they can access their inner poetry and find where their bodies and language come together.

It's never too early to get ready for the holidays. As much fun as it is to put together gift lists and party plans, it can also be overwhelming. This is why planning ahead is not only smart, it also saves you a lot of money.
Beat the holiday rush by being ahead of everyone else. Here are three tips for stress-free holiday planning.
Invest in high-quality decor
If you haven't yet, the best time to do this is now. The holidays come each year, and even if you think you don't really spend a lot on home decor, not investing in pieces that you can re-use each year is just throwing money down the drain. Getting commercial Christmas lights that practically never break is one purchase that will save you a lot of money in the long run. There are a lot of flimsy lights that are being sold in the market and you don't want to waste money on them while also posing a fire hazard to your home.
Don't buy gifts in bulk close to the holidays
One of the biggest expenses associated with the holidays is gifts. Buying gifts a few weeks before the holidays is a quick way to burn through money. Prices are marked up to anticipate the higher demand. Many people suggest keeping money in a holiday gift fund. That's a nice idea but it also disregards the fact that everything is much more expensive over the holidays.
This is the solution: Get gifts during sales throughout the year then keep those items in your gift cabinet. This is a great way to save money and make sure that you don't run out of gifts. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Post-Holiday sales – take advantage of them all.
Stay organized
It's easy to go crazy over all things holidays. Decor, food, gifts, and parties are things that are very easy to over-spend on. Make sure you set aside a budget for all your expenses and don't go over that. Keep a tab on all your spending so you can adjust accordingly. You wouldn't want to be put in a position where you need to penny pinch in other important areas just to have a fun holiday season.
So, there you have it. Saving money for the holidays is a life skill that you will continue to benefit from for years to come.

Ori and the Blind Forest Returns Profit After Just One Week; Microsoft and Developers "Super Happy" with Title's Success
Released last month across Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC, Moon Studios' Ori and the Blind Forest drew great praise as one of the best titles to hit the Xbox platforms in the beginning of 2015, and as a result the title has managed to return a profit and shows that Ori and the Blind Forest may have a very promising future ahead.
Moon Studios developer Thomas Mahler took to a post on NeoGAF and detailed that since its release in March, Ori and the Blind Forest "was already profitable a week after release and Microsoft is super happy," showing the title's great reception and feedback has been positive for the game's sales.
While Mahler couldn't give more specifics at this time, he did cap off his post by mentioning "we'll see about Ori's future," as Mahler described that the studio has "5 potential things…in the oven right now (spanning from smaller to huge projects)," seeming like both the future of Ori and the Blind Forest and Moon Studios will be in a good place.
In a follow-up post on the same thread, Mahler also detailed that the studio is looking for community feedback and suggestions, with the possibilities of future Ori titles either further exploring the unused backstory of The Blind Forest in subsequent games or in alternative mediums, such as a movie. Mahler explained:
"I have somewhat of an outline now of where I'd like to go with the IP in the future, if we'd get to work on another Ori-related project, but I'd be interested in hearing what you guys generally thought about it. I think we crafted a big world with memorable characters and there's a lot of potential for us to go in and keep working on that tale."
"I've read both sides now – people that loved the story and people that really only cared for the gameplay and dismissed the story. But there was actually quite a lot of lore we created that didn't really make it into Blind Forest."
"I love that our characters have quite a lot of depth and that even our antagonist isn't just out to take over the world, but has a good reason for her actions. But it'd be interesting to take it a step further and open up the world a bit more, to give people further insight into how Nibel works, the characters in it, etc."
"I think in general, there are two camps: Those that really enjoy the tale behind it and those that really are just there for the gameplay and that's perfectly fine. But I'd looove for us and Microsoft to do a little bit more with the IP – Ultimatley, I think it'd be amazing if some movie studio would acquire the film rights and produce a film based on Ori. I think the story we crafted would suit itself really well for that medium as well…"
Ori and the Blind Forest is currently available on Xbox One and PC, with an Xbox 360 version scheduled to release later in 2015.

No one does collage (in this case shown on greeting cards) quite like Curly Girl Design – and since Leigh Standley's work is one-of-a-kind (dare I say like most moms?), no one has been able to imitate it with any success. I have blogged about the freewheeling optimism & spunky humor that runs through it before, but it is the distinctive mixture of Leigh's wise take on life with her homey collages that make the final product so special. Fortunately for all of us Leigh keeps on introducing more amazingness.
Anyhoo, I have two mother-rific designs today that any mom would be thrilled to receive. I'll let them speak for themselves, and the more you look, the more you see. Available here for $3.95.
This giraffe card speaks equally well to a new mom at a baby shower as a not-so-new mom on Mother's Day. Take it from me, we all like (and need) to be reminded of this once in a while! Available here for $3.95.
Leigh's designs are not just on cards (though they did start out that way), she's added all sorts of gifts to the equation. So the giraffe image is available on a mug, a wristlet, a candle, an art block and a canvas, $12-300. Meanwhile the mom image is on a mini votive candle ($4) and a magnet ($4.50). So there's something for every budget and every mom's lifestyle. Go ahead, I dare you: Peruse her site and just try not to fall in love.
