As a rough guide when halving the thickness of sheet you will double the length (if rolling in one direction). The better you understand the jewelry you are offering, the even more trust and self-confidence you will certainly create with your consumers. As pointed out in an earlier article, the boom may be double peaked for investors, always positive, but there is always a possibility of another sharp correction.
So as you can see, if you stick with tradition on this element, it possibly has to be silver, gold, or diamond and that will largely rely on the many years you have been married. That means that you will have wasted a lot of money on a gift that they do not like. With so many different retailers all offering the best deals and most beautiful jewelry, shopping for the perfect piece can be quite a challenge. Together with the increasing amount of buyers, businessmen along with other individuals who definitely are getting a pastime upon tips on how to buy gold and silver, it is always quite important to help you simplify the benefits and cons associated with committing to gold or investing in silver.

Silver is a very good metal for precious metal jewelry, since it is easy to work and shines like few others. Once purchased, you can place them in a bank safety deposit box or in a home safe.

Pretty travel pictures, much as I love them, rarely paint the full story of a trip away. Our Maine recap didn't tell you about the horrible migraine I had our first night, for example, nor about the day we drove a full two hours away from Portland, looking for lunch, only to find three different restaurants closed (all I can say is thank goodness for this coffee shop and its quiche!). The afternoon we flew home from Boston to Chicago, it was after a fast morning stuck in crazy Cambridge traffic during which I had to pee so bad I actually sat there imagining myself getting out of the car, right on the busy highway, to take care of business in the median that was noticeably lacking in bushes or general greenery. (We did finally find a Dunkin Donuts, and even though I had to buy something in order to get the manager to buzz me into the bathroom, I was so happy to enter it, I almost cried.) Sunday night, when we came home, it was after a combined total of 2,000+ miles of driving (most of … [Read more...]

Harvest on the Harbor: Portland, Maine
We walk into the Ocean Gateway building our first night in Portland, and inside the air is electric, people swarming every direction, hands reaching for small bites as they juggle tastes of wine. Live jazz music from the Fogcutters Duo band plays in the corner. A hundred voices comingle. We shed our winter coats and mittens and plunge into the crowd. Here in America's most northeastern state, in a glass-enclosed building with surrounding water views, is the opening event for Harvest on the Harbor, a four-day food festival celebrating Maine's renowned food scene. While we've traveled several hundred miles from Nashville (by way of Chicago) to be here, we're not the ones farthest from home. In fact, attending events and competitions over the next few days will be participants from 34 different states and five countries. It may sound strange to someone who's grown up in the northeast, but visiting New England in the fall has been on my vacation dream list for as long as I … [Read more...]
Emeril's Celebratory Artichokes, Slow-Cooked in White Wine, Garlic, and Oil
I wish you could have seen Tim and me in our little galley kitchen on Saturday, October 12, at around 2 p.m. in the afternoon. There we were, side by side in front of the sink, each of us with a plate of slow-cooked artichokes to our sides. Barely speaking, the both of us stood there, rhythmically pulling tender, wilted leaves of artichokes off their softened, deep green bulbs, scraping the flesh with our teeth, oil and juices dripping down our hands and arms and over everything. "These are the best artichokes I have ever had," Tim finally said to me between slurps, halfway through his dish. … [Read more...]
Greenville Anniversary Trip, Part Two
I didn't say so in Tuesday's post, but getting to spend this last week in Greenville has been a little surreal for Tim and me. We started talking about our upcoming anniversary back in September, tossing around ideas and discussing budgets, and I thought more than once that I didn't know what to do. Stay in Nashville? Go up to Chicago? Keep checking cheap flights? Maybe Asheville or Knoxville or Birmingham? It's not like we think we have to take a trip every anniversary, but we do enjoy getting to set aside a few days to be together each year, away from work, away from routine, as a tangible way to reflect and remember and connect. So when Greenville offered to host us and let us sample its food scene, it felt like more than a good opportunity---It felt like a good gift, straight from the One who sources every good thing. All week, as we met passionate food professionals and ate plate after plate of beautifully prepared meals, we kept thinking how thankful we were for what we received. … [Read more...]
Greenville Anniversary Trip, Part One
When we arrived in Greenville Monday night, it was with a lot of balls in the air. Those of you who read our newsletter know that the last few weeks have been busy ones for us. We've been working extra hours in our freelance gigs, we've had a lot of social events to attend, we've been inundated with random emails, the blog went down for a little while, which meant Tim has been spending extra time working on it, and then we've been signing up for press trips like this one, all while working on another secret project we haven't announced here yet. We've wanted to come to Greenville, South Carolina for a while, partly because my friend Holly, who's lived in places like Africa and Alabama and now Philadelphia, calls Greenville her favorite city and partly because, generally speaking, visiting a new place has always been the sort of thing to slow us down. But when we finally collapsed into bed last night, after a full night of delicious meals, the two of us looked at each other and said, … [Read more...]
Rosewater Cardamom Lassi
The first time Tim took me to Indian food was the first time I liked Indian food. It was also the first time I ordered a lassi. I am half Indian, my dad grew up in southern India, and my Italian-German-Danish mom taught herself to make a mean curry, but I wasn't on Team International Eating until well into my adult years. By the time I'd met and married Tim, I liked plenty of different cuisines, just not Indian, so on our one-month wedding anniversary, we decided to celebrate by doing something to change that. We went to Nashville's Sitar and ordered Tim's favorites: butter chicken and garlic naan. Turns out pillowy herbed dough heady with garlic, alongside creamy, tender chicken, is not a hard sell. I was in. Mostly though, there was that sweetened yogurt drink that had caught my eye on the menu and accompanied my meal. Served over ice in a tall glass, it was sweet, just barely, and flavored with rosewater---it was also the most wonderful offering I'd ever sipped through a straw. I've … [Read more...]
Mustard Green Chips
My friend Carla was in town this weekend. I love Carla. Carla is soft and sharp and for some reason has always reminded me of a brunette Meryl Streep. Carla can finish my sentences and make me laugh and when she comes to town and eats lunch at my table, she asks me how she can help clean up, and I show her the sink setup, and there she is, doing my dishes for me as I stand next to her, talking, bent over with my elbows propped up on the counter and my rear end up in the air while I barrage her with questions, her barely missing a beat. As she slips spoons and forks, one by one, into the dishwasher in our galley kitchen, like she is the hostess and I am the guest, I let her because she is Carla and because I know she knows me and because all those weeks (or months? or years?) of walls that typically block we humans from finding intimacy with one another have already been torn down. Carla was the person I went to visit a few nights before my wedding, two years ago this month, so she … [Read more...]
10 Things + Pumpkin Pie You Can Drink
A few notes from here in Nashville, here in this first week of October: 1 / An autumn that's all big mums and our neighbors' porches filled with pumpkins, right alongside bare feet and sundresses. 2 / A few blog updates, some obvious (design changes) and some not (new hosting). If anything seems wonky when you stop by this space, it probably relates to one of the things we've changed, and we probably don't know—so please tell us. 3 / A a new library book I've been waiting for, an interview with its author (posted here) and my favorite quote from that interview: "My description of this room will differ from your description of this room will differ from everybody else's description of this room because we are limited and graced by our own pair of eyes, the things that we notice in the foreground versus the background—That's the beauty of creative work." 4 / A good chunk of time thinking about this story, especially because of one line about always wanting everyone to … [Read more...]

Statement by the Secretary-General on Ukraine
New York, 10 March 2014
I am increasingly alarmed by the developments in Ukraine. Since the beginning of this crisis, I have appealed to all parties to de-escalate tensions and to engage in direct and constructive dialogue in order to forge a peaceful way forward.
Recent events in Crimea in particular have only served to deepen the crisis. As tensions and mistrust are growing, I urge all sides to refrain from hasty actions and provocative rhetoric.
The international community must help the key actors to calm the situation and work toward a durable and fair political solution. A further deterioration of the situation would have serious repercussions for the people of Ukraine, the region and the global community.
I also continue to urge the relevant authorities to ensure that the human rights of all in Ukraine are respected, with particular attention to the rights and protection of minorities.
At this crucial juncture, we cannot afford either miscalculations or inaction. Above all, a resolution of the crisis must be found on the basis of United Nations Charter principles, including the peaceful settlement of disputes and respect for the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Who do you think has more google results? Luke Skywalker of Darth Vader, Josh Rubin or Tony Soprano? Find out for yourself if you're bored and want a laugh. It has no affiliation with Google, it's just a totally amusing game with real results.

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (February 2, 2013)---Negotiators in Alabama were still trying to persuade Jimmy Lee Dykes to surrender Saturday four days after the 65-year-old man shot a school bus driver to death and grabbed a 5-year-old boy off the bus.
Dykes has been holed up ever since in a home-made bunker in a rural area near Midland City, Ala.
Police have been treading carefully in dealing with the man and saying little about the standoff, except that they are using a ventilation pipe to talk with the man who is holding the boy.
A local official says the boy has been crying for his parents.
A neighbor says he believes Dykes is looking for a platform to "rant and rave about politics and government."
