From: Beautilicious,
Here at Wahanda, we believe our beauty habits are as unique as we are and so we do our best not to judge the cosmetic behaviours of others. Not fussed about a chipped nail? Good for you. Hate taking your makeup off at night? That's your call (although your skin won't thank you). You see, we're very accepting here. However, when we hear about a new treatment that is a little bit 'out there' we like to gossip about it as much as the next non-judgemental beauty critic. Imagine our delight when we came across these three weird sounding, but possibly wonderful, new surgery trends. No judgement...
Yes, you read that correctly. One of the biggest new trends in the world of fat loss, Aqualyx injections liquefy fat so that it can enter the bloodstream and leave the body through the process of urination. The treatment works by injecting a water solution containing plant polymers into stubborn areas around the body. The polymers then bind with the cell wall of the fat tissue, before rupturing and releasing the fat to be dissolved.
The process, which works over a three-week period, is said to completely destroy fat cells, meaning that they will never return. Suitable for use on the thighs, stomach, knees, chin, buttocks, back and neck, the treatment – which requires no down time – sounds like a simple (although slightly gross) alternative to weight loss.
Alas, the experts disagree. Dr Arun Ghosh, from the private Spire Hospital in Liverpool told the Daily Star: "It's dangerous to re-absorb fatty acids into your bloodstream because if they're dissolved down into salt it would send cholesterol levels sky high." There had to be a downside… aside from the obvious.
Despite its slightly controversial nickname, this new non-surgical lift is quickly growing in popularity. Designed to combat signs of ageing like facial sagging and visible veins, which are caused by the temples becoming gradually more sunken, the treatment uses a collagen stimulator called Scupltra to fill the cheek and temple. Working to replace lost volume, boost collagen levels and improve the quality of the skin, after two or three treatments the results are said to be as good as a facelift and last for around two years.
Dr Linda Eve, Medical Director of EvenLines says: "Scupltra is one of my favourite treatments because the effect is so natural. It restores a youthful heart shape and elegance to the face. My patients love the gradual lift that Sculptra gives them and also the improvement in the quality of their skin... the so called 'Sculptra Glow!'"
Kim's infamous 'Belfie', instagram.com/kimkardashian
If you thought the world was mad to copy Kim Kardashian's Vampire Facial (interest in the procedure has increased by 800% since Kim posted her gruesome selfie, according to WhatClinic.com) you might be amazed to hear that her bottom has been deemed responsible for the increase in the number of 'Brazilian Butt Lifts' performed in the US recently. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the controversial procedure has increased by 58 percent in the last year, with 11 per cent more surgeons offering the service. Costing between $800 and $12000, the treatment involves taking unwanted fat from problem areas and transferring it to the buttock region to plump it out.
Dr Constantino Mendieta of Miami said: 'The trend can definitely be attributed to more women wanting to emulate the look of Kim Kardashian's and Jennifer Lopez's shapely buttocks based on what I hear in my own offices on a near-daily basis'.
After photographs of Kim outside the Versace Mansion in Miami last week sparked mass Twitter debate about whether the star had had the procedure herself, we can only imagine these figures will rise. While we're not entirely sure what we think of this procedure, it's quite nice to see evidence of women striving for a curvier figure. Again, no judgement…

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/06/2014 -- The report "Pipeline Safety Market [Physical Security (PIDS, Optic Fiber & Thermal Sensor, Acoustic Sensor, Leakage Detection, UAV, GPS Mapping, Smart Pigging), ICS Security, Professional Services] - Global Advancements, Forecasts & Analysis (2013 - 2018)" segments the global pipelines based on the type of the products transported, the solutions and technologies used to secure the infrastructure network and professional services. It also identifies drivers and restraints for this market with insights into trends, opportunities, and challenges.
Browse more than 60 market data tables with 14 figures spread through 163 pages and in-depth TOC on "Pipeline Safety Market"
Early buyers will receive 10% customization on this report.
Customization on this Report Available @ http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestCustomization.asp?id=187556390
Major Players in Pipeline Safety Market are Abb, Alstom, Bae Systems, GE Security, Honeywell, Schneider Electric, Senstar Inc, Siemens, Thales Group, and many more
MarketsandMarkets has segmented the global pipeline safety market based on the type of deployment i.e. on-shore and off-shore; the type of product transported through them i.e. natural gas, crude oil, refined products and chemicals, water and others (HVDC, communication); by the technologies and solutions deployed for infrastructure security; by professional services offered; and by regions i.e. North America (NA), Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe (EU), Middle East and Africa (MEA) and Latin America (LA).
Increasing demand for oil and natural gas and competitive pricing has forced the government and private players across nations to deploy cheaper and efficient means of transportation. The increase in terrorist attacks and cyber crime on energy sector has also forced the government to set up regulatory policies and security compliances to ensure the safety of the people and environment. The absence of integrated platforms offering both physical and network security solutions, has forced the pipeline operators to deploy multiple security solutions available in the market such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network security solutions, surveillance solutions using unmanned aerial/underwater vehicles, leakage detection solutions and pigging systems to improve their operational efficiency. Major companies are now providing dedicated integrated security platforms to gain traction in this highly fragmented market.
The major forces driving this market are the increased government pressure and security compliance and regulations, threats from terrorist attacks and cyber attacks, lack in comprehensive solution for pipeline safety and physical attacks and insider threats. Companies providing physical security solution and cyber security solutions are looking forward to gain a better competitive advantage in this growing market, thereby creating comprehensive security solutions and integrated security management platforms for the rig platforms and refineries.
The global pipeline safety market is estimated to be $4.35 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow to $6.73 billion in 2018. This represents an estimated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.1% from 2013 to 2018. In the current scenario, the natural gas pipelines continue to be the largest segment, in terms of spending and adoption, for pipeline safety solutions, followed by oil and chemical refined products. In terms of regions, North America is expected to be the biggest market on the basis of spending and adoption for pipeline safety solutions. MarketsandMarkets further expects that the increasing energy markets in the developing economies and increased extraction and distribution infrastructure will further enhance the growth of the market.

I am neither an attorney-at-law nor I do play one on television or on the internet. No one should assumes my opinion is legal advice.

I work out of my home, so yes, I do carry at work!
Yes and I make the rules so yes
What about not allowed, still carry?
I do not break any laws.

Work asset protection for Walmart here in PA. Company policy says not at work and not in the car, so sadly my firearm stays at home while I work. Don't agree with it because of the nature of my job, but works hard to come by these days

I know my employer isn't too thrilled with the whole thing. He used to work with a group that the 2 senior members OCd. Pretty much caused him to move to his own office.
Not really sure what to do. Some sketchy folks downstairs (ex con call center). But isn't worth losing my work contract or a long time friend.
If it do it will have to be pocket and I won't let him know. (button shirts and i'm scrawny enough to print to all hell)
Work officially doesn't allow or disallow in our policy. Previous town manager said if it's not in there then it isn't forbidden so carry away. New town manager is pro gun too so it's never come up. It's an issue that no one has wanted to address in our policy. At our town garage there are no weapons signs due to a previous employee going a little mental an waiving a gun around. He was fired and nothing has been said about it since.

No, against company policy. Jobs are scarce around here right now.

CC is not allowed here at work, in your vehicle on the parking lot is no problem. I like my job and respect my employers so I wouldn't even consider breaking that rule.
Yes, because it's policy.

Apparently that wasn't just marketing fluff. According to an unnamed Foxconn exec who spoke to the Wall Street Journal, it really is a pain in the ass to manufacture. Here's what the exec had to say: Advertisement Advertisement "The iPhone 5 is the most difficult device that Foxconn 2038.HK -0.68% has ever assembled. To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated," said an official at the company who declined to be named. "It takes time to learn how to make this new device. Practice makes perfect. Our productivity has been improving day by day."The exec went on to acknowledge that the iPhone 5 is more susceptible to scratching due to a new coating material, but says that the factory is becoming better and faster at cranking units out. Hopefully that isn't coming at the cost of those employee's collective sanity. [WSJ via TNW]Reply80 repliesLeave a reply

A Minnesota man repeatedly dialed 911 after stealing a car to brag that cops couldn't catch him. Did they? Yep.AdvertisementYou'd think with relatively high, tax-free profits on offer, the car theft profession would attract a higher quality of practitioner. At least in this instance, that's just not the case.The 23-year-old didn't start calling 911 until police had already started chasing him, causing him to crash into a guardrail, abandon the car and flee on foot. At that point he was feeling pretty good about his efforts, telling police over the phone that he was smarter than them. Despite these near constant clues to his whereabouts, police lost track of the man until later in the night when a concerned citizen reported a prowler on his property. Police then found the man hiding in a shed. He now faces charges for gas theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, burglary, tampering with a motor vehicle, trespassing, and assaulting an officer.

Key West Aquarium
American Alligator
Alligator Mississippiensi
Alligators are crocodilians in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. There are two alligator species: the American and the Chinese (Alligator sinensis). The word "alligator" comes from the Spanish word for lizard, el lagarto, which is the term the early settlers of Florida used when they first encountered them. The alligators in the Key West Aquarium are usually between the ages of 1 and 3 years old and are on loan from the Alligator Farm in Homestead, FL. When the reach a certain size or the age of 3, whichever comes first, they are returned to the farm and switched for younger alligators. They reside in the Key West Aquarium to further the education of one of Florida's most important and well represented predators.
What's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?
Alligators and crocodiles are in different families. Alligators have a wider, rounded U-shaped snout while crocs have a more pointed V-shaped snout. While alligators primarily live in the southeastern U.S., crocodiles are found in North, South, and Central America as well as Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Crocodiles favor saltwater areas while alligators prefer freshwater and brackish water habitats. Southern Florida is the only place where alligators and crocodiles coexist.
Where are they found in the United States?
American alligators inhabit most of the southeastern United States; primarily Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia. The largest population of gators live in Gainesville, FL. They live in freshwater rivers, lakes, swamps, and marshes. There are an estimated five million American alligators in the southeastern U.S. with a quarter of the alligator population in Florida. Year after year we find that the Alligator Exhibit at the Aquarium is one of the most informative
Key West Attractions
because children and adults are always interested in learning information about alligators when they visit Florida.
How large can they grow?
Alligators can grow up to 800 pounds and 13 feet long on average. Females do have a tendency to be smaller than males. According to the Everglades National Park, the largest alligator ever recorded measured 17 feet, 5 inches.
What do they eat?
They eat primarily fish, birds, turtles, various mammals, and other reptiles. If the alligator is big enough it will eat larger prey such as deer, bear, razorbacks, or other alligators. If the gator has caught something too large to consume in one bite it typically drowns it by violently spinning it in the water. This is commonly called a "death roll". It will then store it for a couple days to allow decomposition and easier consumption afterward.
How do you tell males from females?
You cannot tell a male from a female alligator unless you perform an internal examination by identifying it's sexual organs. Judging the size of an alligator is not a reliable way to determine it's sex.
How long do they live?
Alligators live an average of 35-50 years in the wild. They have been known to live 60-80 years in human care.
When do they reproduce?
Mating season is mid-April through May and alligators have a heightened aggression during this time. The female will build a nest in the vegetation in or around the water and lay a clutch of 20-50 eggs. Incubation is 60-65 days and hatchlings will stay with the mother for up to 2 years. Female alligators are fiercely protective of the nest and hatchlings and are especially dangerous. The temperature in the nest determines sex of the offspring. Temperatures above 93 degrees will produce males while temperatures of 86 degrees and below produce females.
How good is their sight? Smell? Hearing?
The senses of all crocodilians are quite powerful in comparison to other reptiles. They have an excellent sense of hearing and a well developed inner ear; mothers can actually hear hatchlings calling while still inside the eggs. They have extra sensory organs inside the snout for a heightened sense of smell and their vision above water can be compared to that of an owl. They also have excellent night vision and are thought to be able to see color.
What is the "growl" or "bellow" sound that the gators make?
Alligators have no vocal chords so the growl is a sound made when the gator sucks air into their lungs and blows it out to produce very loud, deep toned roars. It is used to show dominance, territorialism, and to attract mates.
Do alligators hunt people?
No, they do not. Alligators do not naturally regard humans as prey, unlike the crocodile. However, attacks on humans are on the rise due to the loss of their habitat and irresponsible behavior of humans (feeding them, approaching and harassing them) that all contribute to lessening their natural fear of man.
Are they endangered?
No, not anymore. They were removed from the endangered species list in 1987, but are still classified as a threatened species. The hunting and trapping of alligators is only legal through proper permits and strictly enforced quotas.

I was wondering if anyone makes any decent money doing this? I opened an Etsy shop back in February, finally got to start listing a few items a few days ago. I've had a few looks but no sales as of yet. Anything anyone could share on this topic would be appreciated, I am at the beginning of getting a divorce, my income is going to drop drastically, and I'm in a really bad area to have to commute from (do NOT want to risk my neck driving on the curvy icy winter roads around here). Any ideas? Thanks!
I looked at your site and I love the necklace/earring set. I wish I could purchase them from you. Right now I am cash poor. I hope you have lots of luck though!
That's my favorite one too! I've got a bunch of other stuff that I haven't posted yet, trying to get some decent pics. I finally got a digital camera and have to figure out how to work it *LOL*
I hope Mammabooth is around to answer here. She has a great thing going. see thread:http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/showthread.php?t=204003&page=1 I don't myself (i'm too big a procrastinator to get enough stuff done to make any money at it) but we have a friend who makes her entire living off her jewelry and beadmaking. She is always working on something. She makes a pretty good living; able to pay all her bills, go on an occasional vacation (which she normally works into a bead or jewelry show trip), and really doesn't have any problems. she's putting enough away for emergencies, but her biggest worry is medical insurance. She's had some troubles physically, and it has cost her a bundle. from her on making a living with jewelry: Find something that no one else makes, or some way to make a regular piece "special". For her, it's her goddess beads. She also works with the silver clay to make unique settings for her beads. The other thing she does is a LOT of shows. She'll go to a couple a month, AND she usually has her beadmaking setup there...so she can be working while people are shopping. She says it gets people interested and shows them that it's really an artist doing the work, not some factory somewhere. You have to find your niche. and an outlet for your goods. If you're going to sell just online, then you need to find a way to get people to look at your website. advertising, word of mouth...something. I've seen a number of people who put up one item on Ebay, and a link to their online store. I'm not sure how the ebay folks feel about that, tho.
I do make money selling jewelry, I'm not Rockefeller yet, nor don't see that in the future, but it brings in a tidy sum. If your planning on making it a fulltime business with your only scource of income, you better raise your prices. Why? Well, you need to think of wholesale prices. If someone should approach you to wholesale to them, and they do. At your current pricing would you be able to make a profit after giving your jewelry at a wholesale price (usually 30 to 40 % below your price). You might not be thinking to wholesale, some people don't, but if someone offered to buy all your stock, would you turn that sale a way? I would also get away from the plated findings and move up to sterling. I know it's more expensive, but you also can raise you prices, as well. Some folks have allergies to plated and can't wear it, so would pass your jewelry up, no matter how much they loved it. The sucess of any business is being in the public eye, so you should give some thought on marketing your jewelry. Use your ETSY shop in the tag line of your profile, so it shows in every message you start or answer. Join jewlery making forums (use that tag line) and be active in the threads,( in the public eye) There are forums for all the beading magazines, like "Bead & Button". "BeadStyle", "Art Jewelry" join them. Even getting active in the Etsy forum would draw attention to your shop. I know someone that was so angry because she didn't have any sales, she planned to close her shop. She posted a question in the Etsy forum and a day later had her first sale.Can't say if that did it or not, but she swears that was the reason for her sale. Check your local Beauty salons and approach them about selling your jewelry, scary, I know. The most they can say is NO, big deal, move on to the next salon. I sell earrings in 3 salons in the area. Just earrings and I do a 40/60 split, I'm the 60. I can count on a least $100 a week from these salons (combined) not a whole lot, but steady. I replace stock once a week, rotating it, if it's not selling in one salon, move it to the next,so on and so on. I have also sold to an upscale dress shop in the past, but the daughter took over from her mother and things just kind of went down hill, it closed. There are all kinds of articles online about making money selling jewelry, even books, do a google and you'll get all kinds of info. A hint about Etsy, when you add to your shop. Post one item a day, it shows in the "New Additions", bringing attention to your shop. If you do it all in one day, it only shows that day, if people don't check that day, they don't see your shop. I also did shows/fairs about one a month. But old age is telling me to take it easy, so now I only do 3/4 shows a year. I am planning to open a Etsy shop as soon as I can get a good camera, mine bit the dust awhile back. If there are any dress shops, talk to the owner about selling your jewelry, this is where wholesale may come in. They may wish to buy it outright or sell it on consignment. Outright you'll need a wholesale price that still makes you a pofit, but not high enough to stop them from buying. It's a thin line to walk with pricing. Hit your local Photographers and ask them to pass your flyer with examples of your jewelry out to Brides that they maybe doing thier wedding. Offer a commission on any sales they bring to you, say anywhere from 10-20% of the sale. There are designers who do nothing but wedding jewelry and are sucessful at it. Good Luck with your new venture, and many sales to you. .
WisconsinAnn - I have been watching Mammabooth's thread...she has some lovely stuff. Not sure what my niche is yet, I like doing a little bit of everything *LOL* My favorite stuff to work with though is silver and gold-fill, and gemstones. Thanks for the suggestions! CraftyDiva - Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. I agree with you on getting away from the plated stuff...I actually do use sterling for most of my stuff, along with gold-fill, just don't have most of that posted yet. I mostly use the plated stuff for when I'm working with inexpensive materials, and for working out new techniques. I also like the idea of offering a wide price range. I hadn't thought much about wholesaling yet, but the idea is interesting. I do have a friend who is a massage therapist, she's opening a shop and sounded like she may be interested in putting some of my work out. I figure once I start making some sales I can gradually raise my prices, I don't want to charge too much off the bat because I haven't been doing it that long and people are not familiar with the quality of my work yet. I have been working on getting my shop more in the public eye, I have some links on my MySpace page, and I also set up a public jewelry artists group there as well, I thought that would be fun to run and would give me some exposure as well. Again, thanks so much for your input!
Thanks for the compliments on my goodies! I'm doing a 2-day arts/crafts show locally this weekend and then a one-day show next weekend about an hour from here. Since these two are close, I'll be putting up a sign and telling people that special orders are welcome. If I get a lot of orders, I can get them all done, plan a route, and deliver them all in one trip (the mileage will be tax-deductible). I know that probably sounds like a lot of work, but then I can make sure the ladies like their jewelry, I can have more face time with them, and probably get more orders. Most ladies really like the idea that something was made just for them and that I am very concerned with their satisfaction. If you do craft shows, I also suggest having a wide range of prices. Make sure you have something cute and cheap that little girls can buy (like $5.00 or less). Little girls bring their mommies! When you dote on children, mothers are happy. Happy mothers buy jewelry for themselves or as presents...it's a wonderful thing. It may sound like I'm being nice to the little girls just to get their moms to buy stuff, but I really just like to make people happy...perhaps to a fault sometimes. In addition to making something inexpensive, make sure you have some things that are very expensive. Not only does it make the rest of your items look reasonably-priced, there will be ladies that come along, that just want to buy the most expensive thing you have. I don't understand folks like that, but I'm here to oblige! Another thing...make stuff you don't like. When I make something that I think is just horribly gaudy-looking, that's usually the first thing to sell. The most imortant tip I can give you is to make sure you have yourself set up (legally) as a real business. There are so many tax deductions available, it's just amazing. While that doesn't give you money in your pocket right now, it will help tremendously when tax time rolls around and will help you think on a grander scale. It is helping me (I'm naturally a tightwad, so I'm still working on it) to spend money to pamper ladies who come to my home shows. Again, when ladies feel they are being taken care of, they relax, have fun, and spend their cash! I'm not making a living at this yet, but I can see it in the future. My husband has all sorts of big plans for it...he would love to quit his real job and be the advertising and paperwork guy for me. That will probably take a while yet (I just started making jewelry a year ago and didn't have my first show until March of this year), but it's something that we both see as a possibility. This creating stuff has ignited a passion in me that I had no idea was there (and I LOVE IT!!!!!!). P.S. One other thing...once someone has bought an item, I put it into a cute little organza bag. If they are giving it as a gift, I ask if they would prefer a gift box and if they'd like for me to wrap it for them for a dollar extra (I have different sizes of wrapping paper already cut to fit the boxes so it's very quick and easy). I also have gift bags and tissue paper in case their purchase won't fit into a jewelry box. Some ladies jump at the chance to not have to wrap it themselves. There is no way in the world that I would pay to have someone wrap a present for me, but I'm an oddball, I guess! Good luck!
R7, I used to be a massage therapist. The profession tends to attract a lot of people who are interested in alternative forms of healing. Some folks put a lot of stock in the vibrations given off by particular stones (electromagnetic or some other form of energy, I believe). If you could work that into your jewelry making for your massage therapist friend's shop, that might help boost sales. Also think about making items that can be worn on different parts of the body, depending on what problem the person is having, ankle bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bracelets of course, but what about some kind of stone on a key-type ring or decorative pin that could be hung from a belt loop or even a bra strap or wherever? I know it sounds rather "out there", but some people do believe strongly in this and I don't see that it would hurt anything to offer items made specifically for them. Do be cautious not to make any specific medical claims on your packaging, whether or not it may be true, putting it in your advertising is illegal in most states
Hi, We used to sell jewelry and made a decent living at it for about 10 years. We definitely found a niche, though. We're in Alaska, and made caribou and moose antler jewelry and accessories. My husband cut and sanded the antler pieces, and I drilled them and did the detail work with beads and porcupine quills. I only skimmed through the other posts, but definitely lots of very good information. I only did one show a year, and it was a small, international wholesale gift show in Anchorage. I once tried a huge show in a large city down south, but it was a flop. I found that we did much better sticking to our market. We also found that by raising our prices, we sold much more. I used high quality materials, made very unique jewelry, and was able to sell to the high end galleries, gift shops and museum shops. I found that if I tried to compete with the lower priced things, I didn't sell much. I tried to do one medium size retail craft show a year just to get a better feel for what people wanted to buy. Then, I could let the wholesale buyers know what was popular that year. I did keep my retail prices only about 50% above wholesale (instead of the usual double price that most of the Alaska stored do). My main reason for the somewhat lower retail price was to get my jewelry out there and see what people liked. I didn't compete with the cheaper jewelry, just tried to give people a good price at that show. Also, I always let my retail customers know that I would not do any more shows that year, and I told them where they could buy more of my jewelry. By only doing one retail craft show, many of the retail buyers would purchase more than just one or two items. After a couple of years, many of the buyers would just give me a dollar amount and tell me to put together an order for them. After a few years in business, there was a big demand for our work and we could only make enough to sell to about 20 businesses. That kept us busier than we wanted to be, so we had to set an order deadline. Anther thing we did was turn negatives into positives. An example was when we started out, we lived on the road system and could mail orders to buyers whenever they contacted us. When we moved out to the bush, we didn't have any postal service, and charter planes for mail were VERY expensive. We could only ship orders to the buyers once a year. We THOUGHT we would lose business because we would be too hard to do business with. But, our sales immediately jumped. The buyers knew they could only order once a year, so they ordered a bunch to make sure they didn't run out. Since they had so much of our stock on hand, they often featured our work and gave us "prime real estate" (as they called it ---- the top place in their store). They didn't want to get stuck with so much expensive jewelry, so they really pushed it. Since they sold so much (because they tried hard to sell it), they always ordered more the next year. At craft shows, I always tried to be really friendly with folks. I was in town alone, so I enjoyed socializing anyway. Once at a show, there were high school groups doing concerts. There was one I particularly enjoyed, so as a man who looked very bored was walking toward my booth, I struck up a conversation with him and mentioned how much I liked that little group. As it turned out, his son played an instrument in the group and he was just waiting on his son. The man had no intention of buying anything, but as we were talking, he was looking at my jewelry. He ended up buying things for his wife, mother and daughter ---- spent over $500! :hobbyhors OK, that's about it for my tips. You really have to find a market for your work, otherwise you'll just blend into the crowd. There was one woman who was selling beautiful jewelry at the wholesale show in Anchorage one year. She was disappointed at not selling much. I looked at her work, and told her that I thought the buyers at the Alaska show were looking for things that were a bit more "Alaskan", although not "cheap looking" and touristy. Although she did great work, it didn't stand out. The next year, she was at the show with the same beautiful jewelry, only she changed it a bit to have more of an Alaskan feel to it. She's still in business and doing great. Best Wishes, Jenny Frontier Freedom Online Magazine
While cleaning out my Favs, I came across this................. http://www.home-jewelry-business-success-tips.com/ There is a lot of useful information, yours for the taking. Never fails when your cleaning (house or otherwise) , you always find something you forgot you had. .
Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone for all the great information! I listed a few more items the other day, no sales yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Oops, you're right...I forgot that when I posted this thread it was after I had already added the newer items *LOL* It has been a LONG last couple of days and I must've confused myself....getting ready for a new puppy this coming weekend among various other things. Oh well...I should hopefully have a few more items up in the next day or so.
Thanks! I was so excited when I saw that I had made a sale. I'm still waiting for payment though...hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a non-paying buyer, that would just figure *LOL* I haven't had much time to list more stuff...been busy with deer season and the new puppy for the last week or so, although I did list a new necklace tonight. It has a few looks already so I'm optimistic
Have either of you listed your shop with the new shops on the forum? Just add your shop to the list..................... http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5302709
Craftydiva - I listed my shop on a similar thread back in October, I'll add it to this one as well, thanks for the link!
How about seeing if you could hook up with folks that do bridal fairs and making custom jewelled headpieces as well as custom jewelry for the wedding party? My son just married and his bride would have loved that. PQ

Before we got Layouts Blogger, in 2006, we had pre 2006 Blogger. The first blog feeds, provided as part of pre 2006 Blogger, were served as part of the published blog. The pre 2006 Blogger blog feeds were continued into Layouts Blogger.
For "blogging.nitecruzr.net", we have an pre 2006 Atom feed "blogging.nitecruzr.net/feeds/posts/default", also addressed as "blogging.nitecruzr.net/feeds/posts/default?alt=atom". We similarly have an RSS feed, addressed as "blogging.nitecruzr.net/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss".
With Layouts (2006) Blogger, besides having a blog posts feed, we have a blog comments feed - and we have per post Comments, and blog Labels, feeds. The "blog feed" and "blog comments" feeds each are singular - but the "comments" and "labels" feeds are plural, with one separate comment feed for each post, and one separate feed for each label, respectively. All of these feeds are served as part of the published blog.
We also have mirrors of the blog comments and posts feeds, served as part of "www.blogger.com". This blog has a Blogger served comments feed of "www.blogger.com/feeds/24069595/comments/default" and posts feed of "www.blogger.com/feeds/24069595/posts/default". In most cases, the published blog feeds and the Blogger served aliases are identical.
This blog has 4 Atom posts feeds.
- blogging.nitecruzr.net/feeds/posts/default.
- blogging.nitecruzr.net/feeds/posts/default?alt=atom.
- www.blogger.com/feeds/24069595/posts/default.
- www.blogger.com/feeds/24069595/posts/default?alt=atom.
This blog has 2 RSS posts feeds.
- blogging.nitecruzr.net/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss.
- www.blogger.com/feeds/24069595/posts/default?alt=rss.
In general, all 6 aliases will produce the same output. In all cases, all 6 aliases will at least show the same posts; any differences between any of the 6 aliases will be a natural consequence of the (increasingly minor) differences between the Atom and RSS formats, which are two separate and competing newsfeed standards.
With nearly all blogs published to BlogSpot, or to a Google server as part of a custom domain, this will be a consistent fact. All 6 aliases will, by nature, contain the same posts.
With FTP publishing, this won't always be the case. And that's a point of confusion to some bloggers who publish their blogs externally. The Blogger hosted blog comments and posts feed files will be produced instantly, when updates are published to the blog, because they will be hosted from a Blogger server. The blog hosted blog comments and posts feed files, which by design are served from the remote server, will be subject to any problems with publishing to the remote server.
If there is a problem with FTP publishing, the Blogger hosted feeds will still contain the most recent updates. The blog hosted feeds, as well as the blog itself, may or may not contain the recent updates. When there is a problem with FTP publishing, which causes changes to not be published to the blog, or to the blog feeds remotely hosted, there will be a loss of synchronisation between the Blogger hosted feeds, the blog hosted feeds, and / or the published blog.
In this case, a problem with FTP publishing will also be perceived as a problem with a blog feed.

Yay!! Write again after opening. psst! we already wrapped it for him.

Merry Christmas! I hope there are many great surprises for you--the wonderful kind that last a lifetime and are not found in shiny wrapping. The kind that begin in quiet moments with those closest to you and grow into special memories and new appreciations.

The Beauty of digital photography is that we not only get to keep ALL the photos - the working up ones and the ones where we reach the platonic ideal. all without cluttering up our closets.
I find that i use pieces of the not-perfect photos in other ways, pieces of art, visual references for other kinds of art - remembering things.
It's like having your own "behind the scenes"
Merry Holiday. - 7:41 AM

The red hair is GREAT!
I find that the non-perfect photos are often the ones that remind me most strongly of the time that they were taken. The "good" versions just don't seem to be quite as evocative, somehow.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. - 10:03 AM

There are three elements of culture: the Native Americans; the Spanish; and the Caribbean. In the 18th century English influence spread along the Atlantic coast (the Mosquito Coast) from Belize to Costa Rica. This has left a legacy of Black Creole English speakers along this coast. The pre-colonial cultures included an urban empire in Mexico the Aztecs and an important culture in southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize: the Mayas. Much of the documentary evidence was destroyed by the Spanish invaders. These cultures may be reasserting themselves, for example, in the political and semi-military resistance in the Mayan area of Chiapas in Mexico and in Guatemala. 21 Decemberr 2012 is notorious for being the date when the Mayan calender reaches a major turning point - like the milometer of a motor bicycle showing all zeros - at the end of one phase of the Long Count. Is there a Mayan Prophecy? There is no documentary evidence for such a thing, so it's entirely fiction, though the subject of various cults. Nevertheless there are to be cultural celebrations of the event in the Mayan countries and perhaps in 2012 the Mayan culture will receive publicity. On independence from Spain there was an attempt to form a federation of the provinces of Central America which included Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala and Mexico. Perhaps because communications between these countries were poor this federation quickly broke up. Communication was easier by sea than by land. The jungles even today have few roads connecting the countries. There is no road from Mexico to Colombia, and no rail link either. Panama was part of Colombia at independence and was only separated, through a Coup believed to have been organized by the US, in order to allow the United States to build a canal across the isthmus. Throughout the area (except Costa Rica) patterns of landholding concentrate ownership in a few hands and leave the mass of people in considerable poverty. This makes it difficult for development to occur by the accumulation of capital and investment by farmers. In several countries much of the land is underused even though there are many unemployed or underemployed workers. The one exception is Costa Rica where large scale plantations of sugar and bananas are not such a large proportion of the total economy and where a democratic system has functioned for many years (without an army). The whole area is generally believed to be affected by the policy of the United States expressed in the past (until the 1990s) through military aid to the often brutal military rulers. This was apparently fueled by a "fear of communism". But what Communism there may be is created by the hopelessness of people in a quasi-feudal situation. It is to be hoped that with the collapse of communism in eastern Europe support for the military and their puppet governments will be switched to education, land reform and economic development. |

Mater Dei counters CdM's kiss with knockout blow
IRVINE – Mater Dei's intensity for its CIF-SS Division 1 boys water polo semifinal against Corona del Mar already was high Wednesday night. But after the Sea Kings scored their first goal, the Monarchs received an extra jolt.
Corona del Mar's Armen Mavusi blew a kiss toward the Mater Dei goal in the middle of the first period after scoring on a sweep shot from center, one of water polo's versions of a slam dunk.
"When they gave us that kiss, we wanted to give it to them even more," Mater Dei junior Kent Inoue said. "We just executed all we could."
Mater Dei delivered best on defense, igniting a fierce counterattack that paced the top-seeded Monarchs to an 18-9 victory at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center. Mater Dei (30-0) erupted for seven counterattack goals, most of which started with strong defense.
Mater Dei's counterattack turned their 4-3 lead after the first period into a lopsided victory.
CIF Central: Playoff brackets, articles and more
Inoue, a sharp-shooting attacker, netted three of his match-high seven goals off the counterattack.
Mater Dei junior goalie McQuin Baron anchored the defense with 15 saves, including three against Corona del Mar's man-advantage.
The Monarchs held fifth-seeded Corona del Mar (23-7) to a 2-for-8 effort with the extra attacker (Mater Dei went 3 for 5).
Mater Dei supported Baron with four first-half blocks by field players. Three of the field blocks came in the decisive second period, which the Monarchs won, 5-0.
"Defense always comes first with us," Baron said. "That's what we work on every day in practice."
The second-period surge gave Mater Dei a 9-3 lead at halftime.
The Monarchs' counterattack took many shapes in the second period.
Jon Walters scored on a counterattack off a turnover. Nicholas Silvers scored on a counterattack off his field block.
And James Walters scored after the Monarchs' successfully ran a gap defense on the perimeter. James Walters sprinted to offense after a save by Baron, who sent an outlet pass to Phillip Tran, who found James Walters.
Silvers scored twice in third and finished with a season-high four goals.
"They kept coming," Corona del Mar coach Barry O'Dea said of Mater Dei. "Their counter was really good tonight. McQuin is solid in the cage."
Mater Dei coach Chris Segesman said his squad thought it could exploit Corona del Mar's transition defense. He said the Monarchs also wanted to use the counterattack to push their shot-attempt totals on offense.
But both strategies were dependent on playing strong defense.
"The defense was tremendous in the second and third quarter," Segesman said. "They just locked it down."
At one point, Mater Dei scored eight consecutive goals to open a 12-3 lead in the third.
The Monarchs also shaded extra coverage to mark Corona del Mar's Reid Chase. The senior was coming off a four-goal effort against Newport Harbor in the quarterfinals but finished with two on Wednesday.
And for the second consecutive season, the Monarchs posted a lopsided victory in the semifinals. Mater Dei beat Loyola of Los Angeles, 19-5, last season in the semifinals before playing a second consecutive close final against El Toro.
According to water polo historian Bill Prichard, Mater Dei became the first team since El Segundo in 1955 and 1956 to post a combined winning margin of 23 goals for consecutive semifinal match.
"They shot really well tonight," O'Dea said of the Monarchs. "They're good."
O'Dea wasn't surprised to hear that the kiss fired up Mater Dei. Mavusi's score knotted the score, 1-1, with 4:11 left in the first period, which ended with the Monarchs leading, 4-3.
"I'm sure it did (fire up Mater Dei)," O'Dea said. "(But) that was our guys getting fired up, too. ... It's high school sports."
Mater Dei is now one victory away from becoming the first Southern Section team since Whittier in 1953 to claim consecutive championships with undefeated seasons. The Monarchs will take on Long Beach Wilson, a 6-5 winner against Loyola of Los Angeles in the first semifinal, in the Division 1 final Saturday at 7 p.m. at Woollett.
The Monarchs also went 31-0 last season to capture their second consecutive Division 1 title. They have won a Southern Section-record 78 consecutive matches overall.
James Walters helped pace Mater Dei's defense with four steals.
In the first semifinal, Jackson Kimbell scored two goals and Jake Becker made nine saves to lead second-seeded Long Beach Wilson (23-7). The Bruins won the Divison 2 title last season.
