Proper care of pets leads to a long and loving relationship. Bringing a baby rabbit or bunny into your home can be an exciting time. Enjoy watching this small fuzzy creature with a twitching nose and fuzzy tail hop around the house. Its soft and warm fur is almost irresistible to the touch. As with any pet, bunnies require special care. Be prepared even before their arrival to meet their special needs.

- 1
Prepare your home. Before you acquire the baby rabbit, secure cabinet doors and hide all electrical cords, placing them out of reach of the bunny. This will protect them from dangerous chemicals kept in the house and prevent the rabbit from being electrocuted if it chews on the wires.
- 2
Build or buy a cage for your bunny. The cage should be as large as possible in your given space. Wire is preferred; a rabbit can chew through wood.
- 3
Introduce the baby rabbit to its new environment. Slowly show the new pet different areas and household members. Be especially cautious with introductions to other household pets as rabbits do not get along with all species.
- 4
Schedule feeding times. Feed the baby rabbit at regular intervals. His diet should include fresh vegetables and commercial pellets made for rabbits. Use ceramic feeding bowls to prevent the baby rabbit from chewing them up.
- 5
Train your baby rabbit to use a litter box. Place the box in her cage in the area she has previously relieved herself. Put a few of her droppings in the box to give it her scent.
- 6
Give your baby rabbit plenty of hard toys to chew on. Pet stores sell toys designed for rabbits to gnaw on that dull their teeth and prevent them from chewing on other household items.
- 7
Schedule an annual visit to the vet. Rabbits typically do not need vaccinations, but yearly check-ups are recommended. Any signs of malaise or lack of appetite also are reasons for a medical visit.
- 8
Check your rabbit for fleas or mites on a regular basis. Do not use flea soaps or collars. Comb out fleas with a lice comb and treat ear mites with appropriate over-the-counter medications.
- 9
Exercise your bunny daily. Let him out of his cage to hop around the house and explore for needed exercise. Do not leave him alone during this time.
- 10
Pet and love your baby rabbit. Rabbits require attention. Gently stroke their fur, hold them in your arms or lap, and talk to them daily.
Tips and warnings
- Get to know your baby rabbit personality. Each has its likes and dislikes. Take note of these issues to make daily life with your bunny easier.
- If your rabbit becomes aggressive, seek professional help in resolving the issue quickly. Rabbits have sharp teeth and biting can cause injury to family members or other pets.

Have You Noticed?
A question from a character in a book. "Do you ever wonder about the way things look - about what we see and what we miss?"
She's just been given a death sentence cancer diagnosis and in her shock notices how clear everything looks to her, and realizes at the same time that she's never really taken the time to look at what passes for mundane - leaf shadows, the laugh lines on someone's face, the way the grass moves in the wind.
I don't want to wait until I'm on my way out to notice all the things that make life extraordinary. So I sit at my window and watch the way the snowflakes leap in the wind and the way the small birds at the feeder puff themselves out like little feather balls to keep warm. The horizon is invisible behind the falling snow and the gray haze of leafless trees.
Yesterday I hung laundry in the bright sunshine. The first piece of clothing was frozen before I hung the last but by midday the pants and shirts were dancing with one another, arms and legs flapping in time to the music of the wind. I made a pot of soup and watched the carrots and peas and beans take turns bubbling up to the surface only to dive again, like vegetable kids in a summer pond.
I walked along the roadside while the wind ruffled the faux fur on my hood and ducked under it to smite my cheeks and nose. The air smelled bright and metallic. Brilliant red berries stood out like sentries against the brown sameness of a line of trees.
Earlier a friend came for lunch. Her hair curled in little tendrils about her face and when she smiled her eyes lit up. The cottage smelled of hot soup and toasted bread. Our spoons made little clinking sounds against the bowls, the water in our glasses shimmered.
I vow to pay attention to the small things, to the way the pages of the book whisper when I turn them, the way the silence of the cottage is filled with small sounds - the tick of the clock, the clank of the radiator, the sigh of the door when it closes. I don't want to miss a thing.

Too true, OOTP
Thanks, Marc. And I love being called Paula. One of my sisters and a friend call me that.
JCN - true of many of us and more's the pity.
Friko - I have to keep reminding myself even though noticing the small stuff is pretty much a habit now. What I must remind myself to do more often is write down what I notice and what I fell and think about it.

Cybele Part 2
Attis & Cybele
This story is one of the major myths involving Cybele and they often include her relationship with Attis, a youthful consort to the goddess. Attis is noted too as being the name of a Phrygian deity. Further, Attis doesn't become a part of the myth with Cybele until the Roman poet Catullus references him with Cybele as Magna Mater and as the name of the head priest for the Galli. Additionally, pine cones are used as symbols of Attis' death and rebirth.
Attis – As a Phrygian deity, Attis is the god of vegetation, his death and resurrection is symbolic of the death and rebirth of vegetation and the harvest with each winter and spring. The name Attis in Phyrgia was a common name and one used for priests. In the myths linking Attis with Cybele as her consort; wherever Cybele's worship spread, Attis' worship went as well.
Imagery portraying Attis has been found at a number of Greek sites. Whenever Attis is shown with Cybele, he is shown as a younger, lesser deity to her. He is possibly even one of her priestly attendants. During the mid-2nd century B.C.E., various letters from the king of Pergamum to Cybele's shrine in Pessinos all address the chief priest as "Attis." So deity or priest tends to be a matter of personal interpretation with the myths of Attis.
The Myth
Attis was Cybele's young lover who had devoted himself to the goddess. He had a made a promise that he would always be faithful. As fate would have it, Attis in time fell in love with a nymph by the name of Sagaritis (or Sagaris) and they decided to marry. When Cybele learned of this marriage, she burst in on the marriage ceremony, inflicting Attis with madness and sending the other guests into a panic.
In his maddened state, Attis fled for the mountains. There, he stopped under a pine tree and proceeded to mutilate himself to the point of castrating himself and bleeding to death there beneath the pine tree.
When Cybele found her lover, the young Attis dead, she mourned her actions and deeply regretted them. She pleaded with the god Jupiter to restore Attis to life. Jupiter vowed that that pine tree would remain sacred and like the tree, Attis would live again. The blood that Attis shed is said to have become the first violets.
In the versions of the myths where Maeon is Cybele's father – Maeon kills Attis, the baby whom he sires after committing incest with his daughter. Cybele manages, in this myth to restore Attis back to life.
Pausanias' Version – Another story of Attis, this time with Agdistis as another name for Cybele follows much of the same story as previously mentioned. Only now, when the baby, Attis is born, he is left exposed and a ram comes, standing guard over the child. As the baby grew, his beauty became ever more apparent as more than human. Agdistis saw Attis and fell in love with him.
When Attis finally came of age, he was sent to Pessinos, a city in Phrygia to wed the King's daughter. After the marriage ceremony was completed, Agdistis appeared, causing Attis, driving him mad in her jealously to the point of cutting off his own genitals. The madness was such, it effected other nearby, that even the king cut off his own genitals.
Shocked, Agdistis sought amends for what she had done and begged Zeus to restore Attis to life so that he would be reborn.
Ovid's Version – In this one, Attis had fallen in love with Cybele who wanted to keep the boy at her shrine as a guardian. She commanded Attis to always be a boy. Attis declared in kind that if he lied, let the lover he cheated be his last.
As happens with these kinds of stories, Attis does cheat with the Nymph Sagaritis (or Sagaris). Her tree is cut down by Cybele, killing her the Nymph. Attis in response goes mad and hallucinates that the roof to his bedroom is collapsing on him. Attis runs towards Mount Dindymus where he calls out for Cybele to save him.
Hacking away at his own body with a sharp stone, Attis continues to cry out to Cybele that she take his blood as punishment and cuts off his genitals as that is what has caused him to cheat on Cybele.
Ultimately, this story of Attis' self-mutilation and castration is the basis for the Galli, Cybele's priest to castrate themselves as a show of devotion to the goddess.
Cybele & Dionysus
Similar to the story of Attis & Cybele, is the story of Dionysus & Cybele. The earliest reference to this myth in Greek mythos is around the 1st century B.C.E. in Apollodorus' Bibliotheca.
Like Attis, Cybele also cures Dionysus of his madness. Considering she's the one who caused Attis' madness, I would hope she would cure it too.
Both Dionysus' and Cybele's cult shared many similarities. As foreign deities worshiped among the Greeks, both gods would arrive in chariots drawn by large exotic cats. Dionysus would come in his chariot pulled by tigers whereas Cybele's chariot was drawn by lions. Both deities would be accompanied to the fanfare of wild, raucous music and a parade of exotic foreigners and lower class citizens of Greek society.
For the Hellenic Greeks, these two gods held wild temperaments that didn't sit well with many affluent Greeks and were thus, warily worshiped.
Due to the similarities of both Dionysus' and Cybele's cults, in Athens, by the end of the 1st century B.C.E., the two cults were often combined.
Cybele & Sabazios
Sabazios is the Phrygian version to the Greek Dionysus. Under Greek influence, the name Sabazios is often used as an epithet for Dionysus and the two's myths have become very intertwined.
Further Greek influences have Cybele equated with Rhea. By Phrygian traditions, Cybele is the mother of Sabazios. When Cybele is equated with Rhea, she is the nurse-maid and tutor to a young Dionysus after his mother Hera rejects him.
Orgia – It is thought that the Orgia, the Orgiastic cult of Dionysos-Sabazios may have originated with Cybele. When Sabazios had been wandering in his madness, he made his way to Cybele in Phrygia where she purified him and taught him the initiation rite for the Orgia. Sabazios is to have received his thyrsus and panther-drawn chariot while he went throughout all of Thrace to spread the Orgia. The Orgia certainly seems to have become associated with the celebrations of Cybele as the Great Mother or Mountain Mother in the writings of Strabo or as Euripides makes mention of in his play Bacchae.
As Nurse-Maid – In a story very similar to Dionysus' being rejected by his mother Hera, it is Cybele, identified as Rhea and Grandmother to Dionysus who takes up the infant to care for him much like she did her own son Zeus. The god Hermes, tells Cybele how Dionysus will become a god later when he's grown to manhood. Cybele's priests the Korybantes use their loud drumming and chanting to drown out the cries of the infant in order to prevent Hera's wrath from finding him to finish what she had started with trying to kill Dionysus when she cast him out. The story of Dionysus' youth with Cybele continues with him grabbing lions for the Mother Goddess to hitch up to her chariots and later acquiring a lion-drawn chariot of his own.
Atalanta & Hippomenes
These two were turned into lions in myth by either Cybele or Zeus as punishment for having sex with one of their temples. The Greeks believed that lions were not able to mate with other lions. Another version of the story will have Aphrodite turn them into lions when they forgot to give her proper tribute or offerings.
Bee Goddess
Cybele was also especially noted for being a bee goddess.
Mother Of The Mountain – Goddess Of Mountains And Fortresses
As a goddess of mountains, cities and forts, Cybele's crown was seen to take the form of a city wall, showing her role as a guardian and protector of Anatolian cities.
There is an inscription of "Matar Kubileya" found at a Phrygian rock shrine dating from the 6th century B.C.E. It is often translated to: "Mother of the Mountain." It is a name that is consistent with Cybele and a number of other tutelary goddess who are all seen as "mother" and connected to a specific Anatolian mountain or other locations. In this sense, Cybele is seen as a goddess born from stone.
Cybele's connection and association with hawks, lions and the mountainous regions of Anatolia show her role as a mother of the land in its wild, uninhabited state. She holds the power to rule, moderate or soften the unbridled power and ferocity of nature and to reign it in for the use of civilization.
Idaea – Mountain Goddess & Nymph
Cybele is often connected with Mount Ida in Anatolia where there is an ancient site of worship. Idaea is the name of the local mountain goddess or nymph who resided here. Where many goddess get absorbed into each, the name of one deity, Idaea in this case will become an epithet to the more well-known deity.
Goddess Of Nature And Fertility
As an ancient fertility goddess, Cybele's worship is believed to have covered from Anatolia to Greece during the Archaic period, roughly 800 to 500 B.C.E and then into the Hellenistic era of 300 to 50 B.C.E.
Lions and sometimes leopards were shown to either side of Cybele to depict her strength.
Cybele is typically seen as a guardian and protector over all of a nature and a goddess of unbridled sex.
Along with Artemis, Cybele is seen as the "Great Huntress" and patron goddess and protector of the Amazons.
Magna Mātēr – The Great Mother
The Romans revered and knew Cyble as Magna Mātēr or the Great Mother, Rome's protector. They also knew her as Magna Mātēr deorum Idaea, the great Idaean mother of the gods. It is a similar title to the Greek title for Cybele of Mētēr Theon Idaia, Mother of the Gods from Mount Ida. In the early 5th century B.C.E., she was known as Kubelē. In Pindar, she was known as "Mistress Cybele the Mother." Cybele's worship among the Greeks saw her easily identified and equated with the Minoan-Greek Goddess Rhea and the grain-goddess Demeter.
As Magna Mātēr, Cybele was symbolized by a throne and lions. She held a frame drum. A bowl used for scrying. A burning torch was also used to symbolize her bull-god husband Attis in his resurrection. For some like Lucretius, Magna Mater represented the world order. Her imagery hold overhead represented the Earth, thought to "hang in the air." As the mother of all, the lions pulling her chariot represent the offspring's duty of parental obedience. Magna Mater is seen as un-created and separate from and independent of all of her creations.
Under Imperial Rome, Magna Mater represented Imperial order and Rome's religious authority throughout its empire. Emperor Augustus, like many of Rome's leading families, claimed Trojan ancestry and a connection to Magna Mater. His spouse, empress Livia was seen as the earthly equivalent and representation of Magna Mater. Statuary of Magna Mater has Livia's likeness.
While there are not a lot of documents or myths that survive regarding Cybele, it has been suggested that her Phrygian name of Mātēr indicated a role as a mediator between the boundaries of the known and the unknown, the civilized world and the untamed wilds, the living and the dead. The Imperial Magna Mater protected Rome's cities and its agriculture. Ovid mentions how barren the earth was before Magna Mater's arrival. The stories and legend of Magna Mater's arrival to Rome are used to promote and exemplify its principles and Trojan ancestry.
Megalesia – Festival To Magna Mātēr
Also known as the Megalensia or Megalenses Ludi; under the Roman calendar, Cybele's Spring festival of Megalesia was celebrated from April 4th to April 10th, a period of six days. This festival celebrated Cybele's arrival in Rome along with the death and resurrection of her consort, Attis. This festival and the whole month of April were celebrated with an air of rejoicing and lavish feasts.
Exactly how the festival was celebrated is uncertain. What is known is that there were many religiously themed plays, games and activities. There are descriptions of mummery, war dancers wielding shields and knives and a lot of drumming and flute playing. As to the games, slaves were not allowed to participate. On the first day of Megalesia, there would be a feast held. These feasts were known for being very lavish and the Roman Senate passed a law limiting the amount that could be spent on these feasts. On April 10th, Cybele's image would be publicly paraded to the Circus Maximus, chariot races would be held in her honor. A statue dedicated to Magna Mater with her seat on a lion's back stood at the side of the race track barrier line.
Hilaria – Holy Week
In addition to the Megalesia festival, there is also a week-long festival known as Holy Week that starts from March 15th, also known as the Ides of March. That really gives a new meaning to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar when he's told to beware the Ides of March. The entire festival is meant to have an air of celebration for the arrival of Spring and the Vernal Equinox.
The festival itself seems to have been established by Claudius as a means of claiming and honoring Trojan ancestry. As a result, the festival very likely grew and expanded over time as a celebration for the death and resurrection of Attis.
The Reed Entered – Also known as Canna Intrat, from the 15th to the end of the month, there is festival for Cybele and Attis that starts on the 15th or Ides, with Attis' birth and his being left along the reed bank of the Sangarius river in Phrygia before either shepherds or Cybele find him. People known as Cannophores will carry away the reeds. During this time, there is a nine-day period of abstinence from eating bread, fish, pomegranates, pork, quinces and likely wine. Only milk was allowed to be drunk during this period.
The Tree Enters – Also known as Arbor Intrat, March 22nd marks the date of Attis' death under a pine tree. It is observed. People known as Dendrophores or "Tree Bearers," after sacrificing a ram, will cut down a tree and carry it to Magna Mater's temple for a mourning period of three days.
Tubilustrium – March 23rd, this is an old, archaic holiday for the Roman god Mars. The tree has now been laid to rest in Magna Mater's temple. Mars' priest, the Salii will do a traditional beating of their shields accompanied by trumpets and other loud music from the Corybantes. Overall, this is a day of mourning.
The Day of Blood – Also known as Sanguis, Sanguem or Dies Sanguinis March 24th. The rites can only be described as frenzied as mourners and devotees whip or scourge themselves in order to sprinkle the alters and Attis' effigy with their blood. Some of the rites involve castration and the tree is buried, symbolizing Attis' placing within his tomb. This day was also to honor Bellona, a war goddess. Her priests were known as the Bellonarii and practiced mutilation along with using hallucinogenic plants.
The Day of Joy – Also known as Hilaria, on the Roman Calendar this marks the Vernal Equinox. It takes place on March 25th and celebrates Attis' resurrection. It must be noted that is a day of celebration and not the previous mournful tones and rites. I'm also not the only one to have noted a similarity to the Christian association of Jesus' resurrection.
Day of Rest – Also known as Requietio, March 26th. What can we say? Partying is hard work.
The Washing – Also known as Lavatio, March 27th. This is when Cybele's sacred stone, the Pessinos' black meteor is taken from the Palatine temple to the Porta Capena along a stream called Almo. This stream is a tributary to the Tiber river. Here, the stone would be bathed by a priest. The return trip back to the temple would be conducted by torchlight. It's noted by Ovid as being an innovation by Augustus.
Initium Caiani – March 28th. This particular part of the festival is found on the Calendar of Philocalus. It is likely an initiation ceremony that was held at the Vatican sanctuary for the mysteries of Magna Mater and Attis.
Pine Cones
Pine cones are symbols of Cybele and the related myth of Attis. They are believed to have been worn by Cybele's priests and followers as one of her symbols. As a protective symbol, a pine cone would be affixed to the top of a pole and placed out in vineyards to protect the crops. Pine cones would also be placed at the entrances to homes, gates and other entrances.
A type of hand drum or tambourine, the tympanon was used by the Greeks to denote worship in a foreign cult or religion. Of the foreign deities the Greek adopted, only Cybele is ever shown holding the tympanon. On the cuirass of Ceasar Augustus' Prima Porta statue, Cybele's tympanon is shown lying at the goddess Tellus' feet.
The Trojan War
Among the Romans, Cybele was rewritten to be a Trojan goddess and thus making her an ancestral goddess through the Trojan prince Aeneas.
The Trojan War was a major and significant war among the Greeks. Many deities got themselves involved. Cybele was one of many such gods to do so. When Prince Aeneas was attacked by Turnus, leading the Rutulians, Cybele prevented Turnus from setting fire to the Trojan fleet by turning all of the ships into nymphs.
Virgil's Aeneid – As Berecyntian Cybele, she is the mother of Jupiter and the protector of prince Aeneas. Cybele gave the Trojans her sacred tree to use for building their ships. Cybele then pleaded with Jupiter to make the resulting ships indestructible. Aeneas and his men are able to flee Troy, heading for Italy, where Rome would be founded. Once the they arrived in Italy, the ships all turned into sea nymphs or Oceanids.
Yes, you read that correctly. During the early Roman Imperial era, the poet Manilius introduces Cybele into classic Greco-Roman zodiac. It upsets the balance as there's already twelve zodiac houses represented by a corresponding constellation. Each of which is ruled by a different deity, the Twelve Olympians in Greek and the Di Consentes in Rome. Manilius places Cybele as a co-ruler with Jupiter over Leo the Lion, which is noted for being in direct opposition to Juno who rules Aquarius.
Some modern scholars have taken note of how, as Leo rises over the horizon, that Taurus the Bull sets. Symbolically, this is seen as the lion dominating or defeating the bull. The idea then gets put forth that the celebrations of Megalensia includes this symbolism with lions attacking bulls. As a Spring festival, the date for the celebration of Megalensia is around April 12th when farmers would dig in their vineyards to break up the soil and sow their crops. This would also be when farmers would castrate their cattle and other livestock.
Mesopotamian Connection?
It has been suggested by some scholars that Cybele's name can be traced to that of Kubaba, a deified queen who ruled during the Kish Dynasty of Sumer. Kubaba was worshipped at Carchemish and would later be Hellenized to the name of Kybebe. Kubaba was also known to the Hittites and Hurrians in the region. There isn't enough etymological evidence to support this. However the names Kubaba and Matar do seem to have become closely associated. Such as the genital mutilations that are found both within Cybele's and Kybebe's cults. Much like many other localized mountain goddesses in Anatolia, who are called "mother" and among many who would become identified with Cybele.
Christianity And The Book Of Revelation
Of interest, is that the author of the Book of Revelations, identified by modern scholars as John of Patmos is likely to have been referring to Cybele when he mentions "the mother of harlots who rides the Beast."
Christianity – Kept to a nutshell, the early Christians, once Christianity became the state religion of Rome, began to view and regard Cybele's cult as evil, even demonic. Under Emperor Valentinian II in the 4th century C.E., he officially banned the worship of Cybele and the goddess followers and devotees fell under a lot of hate and persecution. Under the rule of Justinian, objects of worship for Cybele and her temples were destroyed and eventually by the 6th century C.E., Cybele's cult seems to have vanished.
It has been noted by others how the Basilica of the Vatican is apparently the same exact spot for where Cybele's Temple once stood and that Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the same place where Attis was once worshiped. Some will even go so far as to suggest that revering the Virgin Mary is merely another aspect of worshiping Cybele and many other ancient Mother Goddesses.
Montanism – Christianity – Also known as New Prophecy – Now I do find it fascinating that around 100 C.E. a former Galli priest of Cybele by the name of Montanus formed a Christian sect that worked to oppose Pauline Christianity.
In Pauline Christianity, those who followed the teachings of the Apostle Paul, it held a major influence into the formation of Christianity in terms of scriptural interpretations, cannon and dogma.
Montanus' sect was considered very heretical to the Catholic Church and would eventually see all of its followers excommunicated.
In brief, Montanus believed himself to be a prophet of god and that women could also be bishops and presbyters. Where much of early Christian theology diminished the power and presence of women within religion, Montanus' sought to keep it.
It's also interesting to note a rather prominent example of a Pagan religion that Christianity and former followers of other religions attempting to adopt and add in their beliefs. Like Montanus equating Jesus with Attis and the celebrating of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus during Holy Week, the days between Good Friday and Easter is also the same period that Hilaria, observing and celebrating Attis' resurrection was held.
Very interesting…
Rhea – Greek Goddess
Just as Cybele is the Great Mother of the Roman Pantheon, Rhea, her Grecian counterpart is the Great Mother of the Greek Pantheon of Gods. Thanks greatly to the influence of the Romans, many people will identify and equate Cybele with Rhea.
The Romans were famous for subsuming many deities in their conquest across Europe, particularly the Mediterranean area, and identifying their gods with those of a conquered culture. The most famous being the Greeks, where many deities were renamed to those of Roman gods. Prominent examples like Zeus and Jupiter, Hera and Juno, Ares and Mars and so on down the line.
With the Hellenization of Latin literature, many Greek writers and even Roman writers rewrote and intertwined the myths of these two deities so that would virtually become one and the same. As the centuries have passed, the tradition of accepting both of these goddesses as one and the same has become generally accepted. Just that there are still some differences that separate the two.
Rhea's best known story is with the birth of the Olympian gods. Cronus fearing that a son of his would kill him and take over, devoured all of his children as they were born. Rhea managed to rescue her youngest son, Zeus by tricking Cronus into swallowing a rock. She hid Zeus in the Dictean Cave in Crete. Zeus, after growing up, succeeded at overthrowing Cronus and rescuing his siblings.
Like Cybele, Rhea can help in easing the pain of childbirth and soothe the pain and difficulties that come with menstruation.
Amu Nowruz
Alternate Spelling: Uncle Nowruz
Also called: Persian – عمو نوروز
Etymology: Uncle Nowruz or Uncle New Year.
The figure of Amu Nowruz is a familiar one in Iranian and other Middle Eastern cultures for their celebrations of New Year that coincides with the official start of Spring.
In Iranian tradition, Amu Nowruz appears every year at the start of Spring along with his companion Haji Firuz. Their appearance marks the beginning of Nowruz, the New Year.
Amu Nowruz is often depicted as an elderly, silver or white-haired man wearing a felt hat, long blue clock, sash, pants, sandals, and carrying a walking stick. Amu Nowruz's role is to pass on the story of Nowruz to the young.
Naneh Sarma And Amu Nowruz
One thing I found of interest is learning about Amu Nowruz's wife, Naneh Sarma. There's a love story wherein they only meet each other once a year.
According to the one story found, every year, on the Spring Equinox, Mother Simorq flies down from Mount Qâf with Amu Nowruz, the Young Man Spring. Once Simorq has dropped off Amu Nowruz, he heads for a chestnut colored horse waiting for him. Amu Nowruz will then ride the horse out over the plains towards the city gates where he will meet Naneh Sarma, Grandmother Frost in her orchard just outside the city walls.
Amu Nowruz and Naneh Sarma were madly in love with each other and the first day of Spring, Naneh Sarma cleans her house and prepares for Amu Nowruz' arrival. Naneh Sarma waits a long time for Amu Nowruz's arrival. Long enough that she falls asleep.
By the time Amu Nowruz arrives, he finds Naneh Sarma fast asleep. Instead of waking her, Amu Nowruz leaves a flower he picked for Naneh Sarma on her lap. He then proceeds make himself a glass of tea and stoke the fire so it doesn't die down. After all this, Amu Nowruz then heads on into the city, bringing Spring time with him.
Shortly after, Naneh Sarma wakes up and finds the flower that Amu Nowruz left and the other signs of his having been there. She weeps finding that her lover has come and gone again. Mother Simorq comes to Naneh Sarma to comfort and remind her that she will have to wait another year for Amu Nowruz's arrival without falling asleep.
Mother Simorq then carries Naneh Sarma back up to Mount Qâf as she begins to melt. On the top of the Mountain, Mother Simorq lays Naneh Sarma down as she completely melts, knowing that if Naneh Sarma and Amu Nowruz should ever meet, the world would end.
Nowruz – The Persian New Year
Amu Nowruz's role in the New Year's celebration is one very similar to that of Santa Claus or Sinterklaas with the celebration of Christmas in that of one whom is bringing gifts. Depending on the country and the calendar used, Nowruz is celebrated close to the Spring or Vernal Equinox, often close to somewhere between March 19 to March 22.
Nowruz is Persian for "New Day," marking the first day of the month Farvardin and the first day of Spring in the Iranian calendar. The celebration of Nowruz has its roots in ancient Persian traditions of Zoroastrian religion. Some scholars suggest that the celebration may even be older and have roots in Mithraism. It has survived some 3,000 years and varies a bit in celebration from one country to another, especially among the Middle Eastern cultures, mainly Iranian.
Heralding the start of Nowruz, Hajji Firuz is often seen parading through the city with a troupe of singers and dancers following him. Accompanying him is Amu Nowruz bringing and bearing gifts where Hajji Firuz is the one to demand and expect them.
With Nowruz, the New Year's Day must start off with an atmosphere of joy and happiness so that families may continue to know joy throughout the coming year. The arrival of Hajji Firuz is important for bringing the necessary spirit of joy and happiness to accompany the New Year. This same spirit of joy and happiness is necessary too, for without it, the faravahars (similar to guardian spirits or angels) will leave the household, taking with them the family's blessings, abundance and luck for the coming year.
Shahnameh – The Book Of Kings
The Shahnameh is an epic poem written by the Persian poet, Ferdowsi sometime between 977 and 1010 C.E.
What's significant is that this poem dates the celebration of Nowruz to the reign of Jamshid, who in Zorastrian texts saves all of mankind from a killer winter that would have killed every living creature. This mythical Persian King likely represents or symbolizes the transition of people going from animal hunting to animal husbandry and the eventual more settled, civilized eras of human history.
Jamshid is credited with the founding of celebrating Nowruz. According to the text of the Shahnameh and Iranian mythology, Jamshid created a throne embedded with gemstones. Sitting on the throne, he had demons raise him up above the earth into the heavens where he sat like the sun, shining brightly. The creatures of the world would gather around Jamshid and scatter gems around him. This started the day known as the New Day or Nowruz and marking the first day of the month of Farvardin.
Persian scholar Abu Rayhan Biruni, about 10th century C.E. notes in his Kitab al-Tafhim li Awa'il Sina'at al-Tanjim, the Persian belief that Nowruz marks the first day that the universe begins.
UN Recognition Of Nowruz
While it goes slightly off topic of focusing on Amu Nowruz, I feel it's important to mention that in 2010, the UN General Assembly recognized March 21st as the International Day of Nowruz. It is recognized as an ancient Persian festival for Spring that has been celebrated for over 3,000 years.
Where for Christians, the celebration of Christmas is often used to promote peace and goodwill, so too does the celebration of Nowruz during Spring. That having more of the world, the global community be better familiar with the significance of Nowruz and its meaning, it will help promote more cultural understandings, friendships, peace and hopefully long lasting respect.

Taking apart a regulator
James Lorden:
So the topic name is really overkill. I bought a secondary regulator some time ago. There is a nipple on the "in" then at the bottom a check valve for the CO2 to exit. On the end opposite the "in" there is a plug. I wanted to remove the plug so that the pressure from the primary regulator would pass through the secondary.
For the life of me I can't get that nut to turn. It seems like it's just screwed in with a bit of tefflon tape. Am I missing something here? Is there a chance that the plug is not removable or I'm missing a step? Perhaps I'm just weak ???!
James...Can you post a pic showing the nut?
Joe Sr.:
That plug is removable. If I recall, mine took an allen key (hex).
Try a ratchet, of you have one. Make sure you're not tightening it instead of loosening it.
Sometimes these things take more force than you would think.
I would place the regulator on a bench or other flat surface so that it is steady and have at it.
That said, I don't believe mine put up much resistance when I removed the plug to add the high pressure gauge.
Some of these are actually left hand threads. You should be able to see some mark on it if so (LH) or be able to tell that the threads look backwards or try turning it the wrong way a bit. Just a thought.

--- End quote ---
That's what I was going to tell him. My Dad used to say "before you twist off the head you might, and this is just a suggestion, turn it the other way". It's not like I had a reputation for breaking off bolts but I did have 2 older brothers so Dad had seen it happen before (and he saw it happen again, I had a little brother too).
That, or turn off the CO2 tank before you try to remove the plug. :P

Question about Seagate (ST3300601U2-RK) (ST3300601U2RK) 300 GB Hard Drive
There is no power showing to the external hard drive, when connected to cable the green light on the power supply lead/ black box flashes, but the drive will not start?? When you disconnect the power supply cable from the hard drive the green light on the power supply lead/ black box remains constantly on (as it always used to be when in operation).
Is this a problem with the cable/ power supply or the hard drive??
The drive is about 15months old?
thanks, sanyu
Its not worked, theres no difference when i tried a new USB cable!!!
The hard drive has a seperate power supply cable, and when you remove the cable from the back of the hard drive the green light on power supply box (unit that converts 240v to 12v) remains constantly on like any normal power supply unit/ cable. However as soon as its connected to the hard drive the light starts to flash!! There is no evidence that the hard drive is getting power as it will not switch on?? is there something wrong with the cable/ supply or part of the hard drive?? what would have caused such a thing to start happening??
I havent tried openig case as thought that would be risky!!! not sure how to either as it seems well sealed and cant see how it could be opened without damaging the casing!! what do you suggest???
I Have The Same Problem, I Have The Seagate 7200.10 External Out The Case And tried Placing It In A Standard Pc Tower, The Tower Wont Power Up, So I Will Buy Another Hard Drive he Same Model And Swap The Controll Boards And Try And Transfer All My Dater

Mr. Cooper has rarely missed an opportunity throughout his career to showcase his buff physique (as anyone knows who remembers him stripping to a bathing suit to quiz Michael Phelps.) But Mr. Cooper is no longer the only CNN correspondent with a self-conscious taste for form-fitting charcoal T-shirts, accessorized with a tiny microphone clipped at the neck...Looking somewhat sheepish about it, a newly sleek Dr. Sanjay Gupta moved through the ruins of Port-au-Prince wearing a snug gray T-shirt, his hair styled in the obligatory CNN crop. His colleague Jason Carroll, reporting on Wednesday's aftershock, and looking like a guy who had dropped to the ground and done 20 quick pushups before going on air, wore a T-shirt so snugly revealing it called into question whether a disaster zone is the right place to flaunt one's gym physique. A spokeswoman for CNN declined to comment, but in journalism, as in most things, old standards of decorum are clearly on the wane.The upshot, to Trebay, is that "old standards of decorum are clearly on the wane." (That or some roundabout tap-dancing about sexuality, I'm not precisely sure.) Old ones, maybe, but the new ones, if anything, seem more stringent. What I take away from this is that a journalist couldn't get away with being a mere journalist anymore - you need to be ripped or, like Gupta, "newly sleek." If you don't have a body that can be shown off by a tight tee, well, stay behind the camera. I don't blame the journalists - whatever they're wearing, I'm guessing they weren't thinking about it when they hit the ground, and hey, maybe they don't have any normal clothes that are neither club-ready nor Prada. But this televised ubermensch is definitely setting the bar high for men, be they journalists or neurosurgeons. At least you can't accuse the networks of double-standards. The better question is, perhaps, whether a disaster zone is the right place to critique fashion - but I'll let the Times field that.Advertisement Disaster Coverage Without Having To Roll Up The Sleeves [NY Times]Reply103 repliesLeave a reply

The PlayStation app has been available for Android and iOS users since 2011 and now it's been updated to coincide with the launch of the PS4. Unless you had the desperate need to check your trophy count or see what PSN friends were doing online, it really wasn't worth making space on your smartphone or tablet for. If you paid out to buy Sony's next gen console at launch, it's defintiely more useful this time, but it's not an integral part of the PS4 experience.
Once you've made your way past the lenghty User Agreement page and log in with the same PSN account assigned to the console, you'll be met with the a single homescreen that has a very familiar look to it. It's clearly taken some inspiration from the PS4's new, very blue Dynamic Menu.
The layout shares some similarities as well placing notifications, invitations, game alerts and messages up top. Down the bottom there's the Connect to PS4 feature and an extras section with access to a current games catalogue, PlayStation blog, PS4-related YouTube videos and competitions.
In the middle you'll find the socially-driven (and not yet live) What's New section where you can tell users what you have been playing and watching. Additionally, there's access to the Playstation Store, a place to view your profile, trophies, settings and a list of PSN friends.
The two main features most likely to get any use is the ability to your phone or tablet as a second screen and make purchases when away from your console. Both will require the PS4 console to be on and it's worth keeping in mind.
When you launch the PlayStation Store it will actually boot you out of the app and into a web-based storefront. It's a familiar-looking shopping environment where the drop down on the left lets you see all the content including PS4 games, movies, TV shows plus get details of deals, offers and upcoming releases. Once you've found what you are looking for simply make the purchase and it will start downloading to your console.
Connecting to a PS4 requires an almost identical process to the one needed to set up a Remote Play with the PS Vita. You'll need to go into the Settings on the PS4 console and find the 8-digit code to type into the PlayStation app and make the connection.
Once the two are linked, key PSN information will be fed to the app. The smartphone or tablet running the app can now be used as a keyboard or a mouse to navigate through the interface. It's a smoother experience typing with phone keyboard than on a controller but the touchscreen navigation is not brilliant.
After seeing some potentially really interesting uses of Microsoft's Xbox Smartglass companion app, it's the second screen experience where we really expected to see more interesting uses of the PlayStation app. Disappointingly, there are currently no PS4 games available that support it.
Second screen apps do exist, but the likes of EA, Activision and Ubisoft make their own companion apps for Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. Maybe PS4 exclusives will be made to add more exciting second screen functionality, but as it stands the feature is not any use at all.
The PlayStation app is free so it's worth trying it out, just don't expect it to radically change the way you use the PS4. The standout feature by far is the ability to remotely buy items in the PlayStation Store, but unless you really need to remember what trophies you bagged playing Killzone Shadow Fall the night before, it's a companion app you can currently live without.
Next, read our piece on why PS4 Remote Play is Sony's killer feature.

Wondering if we need to add any specifics about the vacuum to the criteria - just to make sure that everyone is using the same type of vacuum. Also, if one of the criteria is that the vacuum must weigh 20lbs, I think we need future submissions to include a shot of the vacuum on a scale.

The inner liner fastens with a zip through to a cosy funnel collar, while the wax outer fastens with smart buttons and features a buckle-close collar, which can also be left undone to form a revere. Three outer pockets add everyday practicality, while a flash of Moon's wool tweed at the back neck buggy gives this distinctive jacket an air of the country gent.

I was able to use some scraps on this one. I liked the different fluffy textures all together.
Then I had a custom order for some coffee cozies.
I am still trying to pull together a DIY kit. I am trying to decide if I need to include instructions. It seems pretty self explanatory to me, but I could be wrong. What do you think?
I have been itching to get some kits together so maybe I will have something more concrete to show you by next week.

The Knicks, who couldn't reach the 100-point scoring mark in 28 games last season, continued their running and scoring rampage last night by overwhelming the Philadelphia 76ers, 141-122, before a capacity crowd of 19,591 at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks entered the game averaging 119 points, second best in the National Basketball Association behind the Denver Nuggets. Last season, they averaged only 105.5 points.
In the back-to-back split against the 76ers, who beat New York on Friday night, the Knicks piled up 276 points. The victory, which brought their record to 6-3, gave them undisputed possession of first place in the Atlantic Division. The difference in games in the span of 24 hours was the Knicks' defense.
Led by Patrick Ewing, who made 13 of 15 shots from the field, including the last 10 in a row, the Knicks had three 20-point scorers and shot 58 percent for the game. The 7-foot center had 27 points, Johnny Newman 25 and Gerald Wilkins, 22.
Ron Anderson led the 76ers with 28 points and Charles Barkley had 23. Fast Start for Barkley
Barkley, who scored 38 points and had 15 rebounds in the 76ers' 137-135 victory Friday night, was off to another good start last night. He had 11 points in the first period, making his first four shots before missing. He also had four rebounds and leaped high in the air to block shots by Gerald Wilkins and Patrick Ewing.
But unlike Friday night, when the first period ended with the score 37-37, the Knicks were clearly the dominant team offensively. Leading from Ewing's opening layup on a pass from Wilkins, the Knicks, shooting 64 per cent from the field, enjoyed a 39-25 first-quarter advantage.
The big difference was in the Knicks' defense, which was almost nonexistent 24 hours earlier. The Knicks' press was more effective, as was the man-to-man defense. Barkley was constantly double-teamed with Charles Oakley getting weakside help. New York constantly tried to push Barkley farther away from basket. The 76ers, who had only 10 turnovers Friday night - 3 in the first half - had 9 in the first quarter last night. The Knicks turned them into into 12 points. New York, meanwhile, committed only two turnovers in the first quarter.
Ewing, saddled by foul trouble for much of time in Friday's 137-135 loss, did not commit his first foul last night until 5 minutes 17 seconds remained in the half. By that time the Knicks had a 61-45 lead.
Ewing, more active in going to the basket, had 10 points in the first quarter and Wilkins added 8.
While the first quarter was the Knicks against Barkley, the second period was the Knicks against Ron Anderson, the 6-7 forward whom the 76ers acquired in an off-season trade with the Indiana Pacers. Anderson, who had 24 points on Friday night, added 17 in the first half, 15 in the second quarter.
But it mattered little. The Knicks, running at will, continued their torrid scoring pace and led, 79-63, at halftime after leading by as many as 21 points twice. The last time they had that margin was with 2:33 left, on a 3-pointer by Johnny Newman, his second of the game and his fourth in the last two nights. That brought his season total to 15 in 33 attempts.
The Knicks shot 56 percent in the second period and 58 percent for the first half, compared with the 76ers' 48 percent.
Ewing and Wilkins continued to pace the offense. Ewing adding 9 in the period to bring his total to 19 and Wilkins brought his total to 15.
The Knicks continued to shoot the 3-point shot at an uncanny pace. They were 3 for 7 in the half, lifting their season total to 48 for 104.
Barkley, who missed once in six attempts, had 15 points at halftime.
With 4:11 remaining in the third period, Jimmy Lynam, the 76ers' coach, was ejected from the game after Ron Garretso, one of the three officials, called two technicals fouls on him.
They came seconds apart when he complained that Hersey Hawkins should not have been called for goaltending on a Mark Jackson layup. Fred Carter, his assistant coach, took over the team.

Ronstan's Halyard Shackle has a secondary pin to keep the shackle permanently secured to the halyard and in the correct orientation. The secondary pin is removable so a pre-spliced halyard can easily be fitted. The captive shackle pin at the bottom ensures you won't accidentally drop it overboard. It is engaged by a quick action pin that only requires one quarter turn to tighten or loosen. Added features include an anti-vibration retaining lug and a long lever head for easy attachment.
Ronstan shackles are manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel. They are strong, reliable, and economical. Ronstan applies a UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) rating, which is the breaking load applied across the full width of the shackle pin. This one has a 1/4 in. pin diameter with an inside length between the pins of 32mm.

There's lots of discussion these days about what to call people as they grow older. Nobody likes "elderly"; "senior" and "senior citizen" are a scant improvement over "elderly"; and we can argue til the cows come home exactly what "older person" means. I'm fine with using my actual age as a descriptor. I'm a "64-year-old." Period.
Spending a good deal of my day online, I see people my age and older being called "adorable" all the time. "Adorable" is a word that is best applied to babies and puppies. To my ear, it's a diminishment of what I've accomplished, and doesn't show the respect for my age and experience that I would pr...

Crockpot Sticky BBQ Meatballs
This weekend we have a bunch of friends coming into town. Some will be staying with us which is awesome, but the kicker is that we never really know when they will be pulling into town. The drive from Salt Lake takes about 4 hours and they usually leave right after work, (without stopping for dinner,) so I always try to have something delicious and filling for them to nosh on when they get here. My crockpot is my weapon of choice in this situation. I can tackle dinner for my family AND our late night visitors in one fell swoop!
Now PAY attention cause I am going to throw a little curve-ball at you... For this particular recipe I actually use the HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS PORK RUB, and not the BEEF RUB. It has all those tasti-fied browns sugars & homestyle bbq flavors that I was looking for in this dish, and its a super simple SET & FORGET recipe, which I love!
1 bag (48 ounces) frozen meatballs
1 bottle (28 ounces) your favorite BBQ sauce
3 tablespoons HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS PORK RUB
1/8 cup Apricot jelly or preserves (optional)
1/8 cup Honey
Combine meatballs, BBQ sauce, HS PORK RUB, Honey and apricot preserves in a crockpot. Heat on High until warmed through, then set to Keep Warm until your guests are ready to enjoy them.

What dish/side food would go well with this recipe? Maybe rice?

Do you brown the meatballs before throwing them in the crockpot? Or just throw them in uncooked??

Asking if frozen meatballs need to be browned first does call for a little jab. Let's keep it real.
Delete Some may not be familiar with frozen meatballs. I have never noticed them, apparently, and have never purchased them and likely never will because I have a homemade recipe I really like, so, to me the question makes perfect sense. Just keepin' it real here for ya'. :)

I actually want to know.... I'm new at cooking so I really have to ask the dumb questions apparently

No need to brown first, they're already cooked and ready to go. If you make your own meatballs from scratch then yes, you should brown them first.
Delete - AnonymousSeptember 15, 2014 at 2:36 PM
I have never made anything with frozen meatballs but I have seen them , they look gray and ugly to me so browning them just to get some color , or to get some extra flavor makes a lot of sense to me . I wouldn't cook them long just enough to brown them in a little oil.

Homestead pork rub ? Is there an alternative please ? Dont think we have that brand in england
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousAugust 26, 2014 at 8:51 AM
They mentioned having brown sugar and some bbq flavors so I would look for those flavors on the bottle or jar of the pork rubs in your area....
Delete - AnonymousAugust 26, 2014 at 8:55 AM
.... it won't be the same, but it may be close... it seems they have a link to the Homestead products at the top of the page if you are interested.... the price seems reasonable...
How long do you normally keep these in the crockpot on high? Trying to time it for when husband gets home from work.

General Question
Why is education compared among countries?
Asked by dxs (14368)
March 25th, 2014
I frequently see articles on how the USA is "lagging" in education compared to other countries such as South Korea. But this is according to a global standardized test, where USA is not on top. What's the purpose in this comparison?
Here's one article: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/us-teens-lag-global-education-rankings-asian-countries-rise-top-f2D11686930

Summer is such a busy bustling season for us at the shops. So many folks in from all parts of the globe, which makes each day incredibly interesting & full. Box after box arrives each day keeping our shelves nice and full. A quick walk around, I snapped away some of my favorite things of the moment to enjoy on this Sunday.
My Favorite Things Today
A quick spin around the shop on a busy day produced some really fun new stuff that has shown up recently. Along with a few tried & true that always just make my heart sing. These are a few of my favorite things at the moment. Little delights that caught my eye.
I like this image on just about anything. A Scalamandre classic. Who knew paper napkins could be so chic.
A variety of peppy and preppy picture frames that I found at the New York show on this last trip in May.
Maps, boats, shells and overall beachy things always make me smile.
As does a good travel journal.
The Summer issue has arrived. Be a smarty pants with your beach reading. Equals out the People magazine next to it in your beach bag.
I mean seriously, these are so good they bring a tear to my eye. Just lovely. A dish towel but would be swell as an oversized napkin for alfresco dining.
Sweet, sweet, sweet little Denise Fielder gift tags to make any package special.
For a stylish quick roll of the dice.
Santa Maria Novella pot-pourri has become a Watson Kennedy staple.
I know I had this image posted last week, but I am still a bit weak in the knees over all the Livia Cetti flowers dotting the displays, I just had to add this to the list.
And lastly, QUIN Candy assorted bags of their delicious sweet edibles. Bumps up the flavor quotient for a candy dish. My grandmother Watson always had a candy dish on the coffee table when I was a little kid. This bag of treats makes me want to do the same.
Happy, happy Wednesday everyone! Hope all is swell & dandy in your part of the world.
Denise Fiedler Custom Pet Portraits at WK
Denise Fiedler, artist extraordinaire, is soon to be in the house! I am so honored & thrilled Denise will be flying up for the book launch party next Tuesday, May 6th. Not only will she be bringing tons of her work for a trunk show throughout the day, but she will also be setting aside time for appointments for sittings to create custom pieces of your pet–be that pooch, kitty, bird or other creature you love and adore. For $150 Denise will create a one of a kind piece of art for you in her fab style using vintage pieces of paper in collage. You can bring your pooch in or you can bring photos and she can work off of those. If you are not able to attend, we can also work off of photos that you e-mail to me. Shoot me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to reserve a time that day or would like her to create a piece for you via photos and the artwork will be shipped right to you. Such a cool remembrance.
Happy May Day to you all!
From sunny & quite warm Seattle,
Studio Tour of Artist Denise Fiedler
My warm & sunny San Francisco trip seems like a distant memory as I am surrounded by snow and a zero degree temp, but it was really only a week ago. Aside from buying at the food show, I was also able to fit in a visit to one of my favorite artists we carry at Watson Kennedy, Denise Fiedler. Her collage work using vintage paper creating cut-out pieces that are just whimsical & wonderful, are some of my favorite things we carry. I have known Denise since my showroom days, but it was fun to see her work space, get to see her in action with her scissors, and just get to know her a bit better. Her warm and witty personality shines through in her work as well as her work space. Housed in the historic Sentinel Building, her studio is filled with ephemera and vignettes that just filled my heart with detailed joy. Here is a look, in no certain order–of her space, the building, and Denise working on a piece for her Spring collection.
Hope you enjoyed the little snippets of the space. Thank you so much Denise, for showing me your studio and letting me click away the images. Such a visual treat.
Happy Dog
Our dog section continues to grow. I am just finding so much fun stuff to add to it. We found some apropos vintage flashcards that made a whimsical piece of art, staying with our 'art' theme of the last few days.
The Denise Fiedler pieces of dogs are always a hit, as well as our variety of pooch themed reading material.
We just got these in yesterday. The perfect water and food bowls!
The Hugo Guinness dog images are charming too.
The Gift of Art
Giving a piece of artwork can be an incredibly special and meaningful gift. We started the tradition of giving each other a piece of art for our anniversary. In January, it will be 24 years of exchanging artwork–the wall in our living room helps to tell the story.
For this collection of gifts, we decided to just have things framed in black, which really helps unify the wall. There is a variety of mediums, including photography and linoleum cut prints.
It is fun to look back and remember when each gift was given.
Some of the artwork on the wall was a gift from friends and artists whose work I sell at Watson Kennedy. The column was a gift from Hugo Guinness, and could not be more perfect in the spot next to the column in the hall.
Our goal is to have the artwork cover the entire wall from floor to ceiling. Almost there.
This Denise Fiedler cut-out is a nod to pooch Bailey.
I also like just propping a piece up against the wall and rotating it occasionally.
Bar Accoutrements
A well stocked bar can mean much more than having a variety of alcohol & mixer choices. It is also a chance to bring a little style into the area. With more and more people entertaining at home, a gift to jazz up one's bar set-up can be a winner heading into this Holiday season. Below are a few things we sell that top the list of fun bar gifts.
The French Tire-Bouchon Zig Zag wine opener is a classic, and looks great sitting out on a bar.
We have a new supplier for these pump decanters, and they now work better than ever. Put your hand over the top of the pump, push down, and it pours a perfect shot. The bottle is etched with a variety of liquors, such as gin, vodka and scotch.
This is made for me by a local Seattle guy, Jack, who hand stamps his name on each piece. They are bottle openers with a very vintage feel.
These are vintage non-working seltzer bottles that are metal encased and just have the greatest look to them.
A cut out of a champagne bottle by San Francisco artist Denise Fiedler is always a good thing.
As is a piece of art by Hugo Guinness.
This urn shaped vase would also work great as an ice bucket, and look uber stylish left out on a bar.
A vintage Veuve Clicquot bucket would make any fan of the widow very, very happy.
All of the above are goods we sell at Watson Kennedy. If anything catches your eye or interests you, please feel free to e-mail me directly with questions or call one of the shops.
A Personalized Gift
Denise Fiedler, artist extraordinaire from San Francisco, sent me the sweetest gift the other day. We have been carrying her work for some time now, and I have struck up a lovely long distance friendship with her. That is the fun thing about the retail world, you end up working with fabulous folks from around the globe. She sent me one of her hand cut & pasted, one of a kind works–taken from a photo that appeared in Country Living magazine, of me with pooch Bailey at my side. Baseball cap and all, Denise captured a moment in time.
If you are wanting a personalized piece by Denise, all I need is a photo in PDF form, and off we go. The custom work starts at $350. I will be adding this service onto the Watson Kennedy web site soon, but if you are wanting something sooner, always feel free to contact me directly by e-mail, or call one of the shops.

Combining different audio effects to create a totally unique sound is one of the joys of playing an electric guitar. With this high level of customization, each guitarist can develop a distinctive personal style that listeners will instantly recognize. An effects pedal package will help you in shaping that individual character, putting your own exclusive signature into every note that you play. Traditionally, a guitarist might use a wide assortment of pedals at once in order to combine their effects or switch quickly between different ones. A simpler solution for beginners or guitarists looking to streamline their stage equipment is a multi-effect pedal, which uses digital processing to allow a much greater range of effects and combinations. For the most "plugged-in" guitarists, advancing technology has gifted the modern music scene with e-pedals that can be connected to a smartphone, tablet or laptop. These high-tech stompboxes can be loaded with as many different e-pedal effects as you care to download, giving you total control over your sound. A great effects pedal package is an important piece of gear for any guitarist, from novice to pro and anywhere in between. Pedals are called 'stompboxes' for a reason—they're built tough, because they have to be. When you're playing high-energy gigs, your effects pedals take a lot of abuse. Features like metal construction and heavy-duty footswitches ensure that a stompbox can take a kicking and keep on going from one gig to the next, reliably putting out the effects that you demand. With the guitar effects pedal, your choice of amp and, of course, your preferred axe in hand, you're ready to fine-tune your own signature sound to take onto any stage. Whether your style is clear and crisp, punchy and gritty or otherworldly and refined, it will be a sound that's all your own when you take advantage of your pedal's power.

An elaborate sculpted altar was commissioned by the Milanese Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception for their oratory in San Francesco in 1480. A new contract was drawn up in 1483 with Leonardo and the de Predis brothers: a central panel was to be painted by Leonardo alone, and there were to be two side panels showing angels singing and playing musical instruments.
Two paintings of angels (An Angel in Green with a Vielle and An Angel in Red with a Lute) by artists influenced by Leonardo, are undoubtedly those for the altarpiece.
'The Virgin of the Rocks' seems not to refer to the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, but depicts the type of subject that Leonardo might have painted in his native Florence where legends concerning the young Saint John the Baptist were popular.
Execution of the commission was protracted. Leonardo may only have put the finishing touches to it in 1508. The finished work was then sent to France, (now Paris, Louvre). Leonardo painted a replacement for San Francesco that was probably completed with some help from his studio in 1508, and which is now in the National Gallery Collection.

wikiHow to Do a Reverse Crunch Twist With an Exercise Ball
Three Methods:Getting in the Starting PositionPerforming the ExerciseFrequencyCommunity Q&A
This simple exercise will work out your lower abs and obliques.
Getting in the Starting Position
1Lie on your back with your calves resting on your exercise ball. Your arms should be on the floor along your sides and the back of your thighs should rest against the side of the exercise ball.
