Product care and repair
We pay great attention to the quality of our products! In order to present you with a great variety of colors and content, we use various techniques of goldsmithing. Since we want you to enjoy your piece of jewelry for a long time, we recommend to read and follow our care instructions.
- Remove your jewelry before washing your hands, perfuming or moisturizing. The particles of these cosmetics, which can not be removed by short washing, can be deposited in hard-to-reach areas and become a corrosive mixture which can lead to premature wear of the metal in the long term.
- This also applies to the use of household cleaners.
- Avoid contact with salt water. This can attack both precious stones as well as precious metals and thereby sustainably damage.
- Avoid impacts and scratches.
- Always keep your jewelery in the original boxes. Store chains closed and lying flat.
- Special care must be taken with pieces with fire-embers, since fire-seals are melted glass, which can break through an improper treatment.
- Gold cladding may wear out over time, depending on the load. This is a natural process which, however, can be avoided by appropriate treatment (see above).
With time each piece of jewelry shows signs of wear. This is normal and we find it beautiful when a piece of jewelry tells of its life and develops its own patina over time. But we also offer the restoration and repair of your jewelery. Please contact:

I haven't wrote here in a while, but my blog has gotten the most traffic anything I've written or created. My post about my cousin was found through search engines when people have searched her name.
Aris Bishop, Aris Bishop, Aris Bishop. Aris. Donshae. Bishop. Why did Aris Bishop jump? Was Aris Bishop depressed? Did Aris Bishop commit suicide? Why did she commit suicide? Did Aris Bishop leave a suicide note?
All those questions and instead of answers, those searchers found my blog post, my rambling about the validation of grief. Her mom sent me a text this morning about an article that used her as the reason that Portland should put nets or fences around Vista Bridge. It was poetic. News might be an objective thing, but you can tell when the Creative Writing majors and minors write an article and when the Communications majors do. This was definitely the former.
Anyway, I read it and horror gripped me like it was the day I heard. There I was, sitting on this white girl's couch holding my new kitten, and hearing my father say in that way that tries to be offhand, that tries to be normal, "Aris died". I know people want to know> Hell, I would search those things too, if I was curious but wouldn't ask. But it still feels weird. I suppose because I like the notion that people I know won't read my posts, but I know they have now. Witnesses to grief. And grief is something vulnerable and you never know what someone will think or do when your vulnerability is exposed. All the same, I won't take down my post. Or make it private.
Aris, Aris, Aris, Aris. I look at her name and think, "Arise"; I look at her name and see "Transcend". I see love, like "Eres"; I see my five year second cousin on my other side of the family, Heiress; I see her sticky hands and her skinny legs in navy blue school uniforms and I think, "inheirit", and I think of belonging, I think of it at it's basis, at it's concept, I think how funny the way things belong, but there's no line to draw. Dots that aren't connected…but they are. Stars lightyears away but to us, their single constellations and again, my mind wants only the thought of transcendence. But it's not blissfully, or airy as it would suggest. The softness of the name, is an echo the sound of leaves and wind when there is nothing else in the street. Aris. Heiress. Eres.
And echoes are lonely sounding things. Besides this, my life has direction again. I am going to move to Cleveland. I will miss Atlanta like crazy, for reasons I'll delve into in my next post when I can catch a minute along to drink tea (I'm attempting to cut back on my coffee intake…we'll see how that goes. Might go well since I'm broke) and write with no distractions. Living with a significant other and family makes it hard like that. But I leave in a little over a month; I'll be glad to be gone, I'm excited! But I'm afraid too. My emotional knowledge of Cleveland only reminds me of my brother's mysterious illnesses and symptoms and the countless hours in Cleveland Clinic in the cold. But I'm sure it will be fine.
As cold as it will be after September, and no matter where I will go, Ohio feels like home, even if it is a despondent and neglected home.

Excerpt from: Winnetou – Book 4
If the secret, which I was trying to find, really existed, it wasn't going to be based on shrewd, ingenious constructions, but upon the extremely straightforward application of a very simple law of Nature. I was extremely curious, but kept my thoughts to myself for the time being. However, I didn't hesitate to put it to a decisive test. I asked my wife to return to the other island, together with Young Eagle, and to sit upon the great chief's armchair.
"What for?" she asked.
"There will be a surprise for you from me."
"A good one?"
"Yes, a good one. If I succeed, you will be delighted! Or would you rather
get a bad surprise? I can do that, too!"
"No! A good one is better! But is this really necessary?"
"Yes! Absolutely!"
"You are so very secretive lately! I hope it's only temporary! I'll obey." She left together with the Apache. I stepped to the island's edge and
watched them talking to each other along the way to the Devil's Pulpit. They climbed up. Of course, I was quite tense with anticipation. I listened.
Then, I could hear the lively voice of my wife, not from the direction I observed her, but from behind me:
"He won't rest any sooner! He'll succeed in discovering the secret of the Ear-and-Pulpit business! I know him!"
They were both standing on top of the island. I had heard my wife's voice only after they had reached the platform. I could see them, but not clearly. The faces were unrecognizable; the distance was too great for that. Even their arm and hand gestures were impossible for me to see. After her last word there was a pause; then I could hear her again:
"No; I have no idea. He hasn't had the time to tell me or even explain it."
From that remark I deduced that the Apache had also said something, but it had escaped my hearing. I was probably not standing in the proper position to intercept the sound waves that his voice had created. My wife had stopped at the edge of their island. I also stood at the edge of my island. Young Eagle was several steps away from her, and stood next to the stone seat in the middle of the platform. Therefore, I left the edge and also walked to the centre. That was, however, situated inside the hut, deep inside the thicket and the question arose whether or not the vegetation was going to intercept the sound waves and make them inaudible. That didn't happen. Because, as soon as I reached the hut, I could hear my wife much more clearly than before:
"Unfortunately, I've not roasted one yet. Therefore, I've got to rely entirely upon you. Are the paws really the best part? And delicious?"
I heard Young Eagle's reply just as clearly:
"Without a doubt! There is nothing more delicious!"
"And do they have to be left to mature until they are full of worms?" "Actually, yes."
"Why ugh? The worms are removed. You don't eat them as well!"
"But they were there! That's disgusting!"
"Then you don't wait that long!"
At that point I decided to amuse myself and loudly called to them:
"Not at all! It's absolutely necessary to wait for the worms! Only then
will the paws be roasted; the worms, however, are fed to the redbreast robins and the nightingales!"
Immediately I heard Herzle laugh:
"That's my husband, the jester! He sneaked after us. But where is he?"
I assumed she was looking around for me. I could no longer see her.
Hence I shouted:
"Here I am—here!"
"But where?" she asked.
"Up here, with Max Pappermann!"
"Joker! Be serious!"
"Alright: I'm sitting on the nearest tree!"
"Nothing but mischief! Come to your senses and talk rationally!"
"As you wish! Young Eagle may reach into his left vest pocket. That's
where I am!"
"Uff, uff!" the Apache exclaimed. "Now I know it, now, now!"
"What?" she asked.
"He is not here at all! His voice sounds as if it is coming from above,
then from below, then from the right, then the left. He still stands where we left him; but he has discovered how to send his voice all the way to us."
"Could this really be the case?"
"Of course!"
"Then that's the surprise he was talking about?"
"Most likely. You just said that he wouldn't rest until he discovered the
secret behind the Ear-and-Pulpit matter. Now he can rest. He's already discovered it!"
That's when I butted in:
"He's correct. I'm resting!"
"Here on my island. I am standing in front of the stone hut." "Really? Or are you still mocking me?"
"No. I'm serious now. I've acquired education. I really am standing at the island hut and hear you as well as you hear me. I've guessed as much before and will explain the circumstances to you. I sent you to the other island to test my assumption. It worked. I'm extraordinarily satisfied with the result, extremely pleased!"
"If it is as you say, then it almost resembles a miracle!" she exclaimed.
"And yet, it's not a miracle at all, but only the careful, intelligent application of a simple natural law."
"In that case, we could listen to the Indian negotiations from where you are now!"
"Yes! From beginning to end! In complete comfort and safety! Imagine that!"
"Can you really hear me clearly?"
"Just as if you were standing next to me."
"I hear you equally well!"
"Splendid! But let's test the strength or softness of a voice, as well as the point to stand on so as not to miss a word." That test went well, too. Only whispers couldn't be understood; they sounded like a breath without words. And shouting sounded like thunder. It was almost scary, only the clarity of voice was partially lost. But everything between a whisper and a shout sounded as if one was standing next to the other and not separated by a great distance. Finally, Herzle, always cautious, suggested trading positions.
"You'll come over here to my island and I'll go to yours," she said. "We'll meet along the way. But first, you'll place an object of my choosing into the hut to convince me you are truly there now."
"Then you still think I'm joking?"
"No, because you aren't here with us, and not nearby, either. We would see you. But I understand so little of your acoustics and natural laws that I will only trust my own eyes, not sciences or a jester!"
"Then tell me what you want me to deposit here? My watch, my knife?"
"No, something poetic!"
"Alright, what?"
"A love letter!"
"Oho! To whom?"
"To me, of course. There is no other woman here. Take a sheet from your note book and write down what I'm dictating now!"
"Very well! Sheet and pencil are ready. Now speak!" She dictated the following: "My dear Herzle! I love you and will remain true to you until death does part us. For your next birthday you will receive fifty deutschmark for the Radebeul hospital. I shall keep my word and sign with my name!"
"Make sure to sign it!" she finished.
"Done!" I confirmed.
"Then come!" I placed the note into the hut, descended from the island and walked towards hers. We passed each other along the way. She attempted to give me a triumphant look on account of the fifty deutschmark, but couldn't do it. Instead, she shook my hand to thank me, and then continued with Young Eagle. I made haste to get to the other island as quickly as possible. When I arrived and stood at the top, I kept quiet and listened. Then, I heard them coming. They were talking to one another. My wife went to the hut immediately. I heard her say:
"There's the note! Truly, truly!" She read it and continued: "Exactly as I dictated it! There can't be any more doubt…"
"Oh, yes!" I interrupted her quickly.
"Ah, you're there already?" she asked.
"And you doubt it?"
"I have significant doubts. I must also perform a test to convince myself!"
"What kind of test?"
"I suppose you also have a pencil with you?"
"Then take my sheet and, on its reverse side, write down what I'm going to dictate now!"
"Splendid! I've got the piece of paper and the pencil. Let's begin!"
I dictated: "The most obedient undersigned herewith remorsefully admits before the prosecuting attorney's office of the Royal Saxon district court in Dresden to a cunning act of blackmail in the amount of fifty deutschmark, no less, committed at Devil's Pulpit in the American State of Colorado, and…"
"Stop, stop! No more!" her voice cut me short. "I only have to admit my sins to you, not to the district attorney whom I declare completely incompetent in any and all events that take place on top of the Devil's Pulpit. Your fifty deutschmark belong to my patients from now on; and that's that! If you need further testing, try something else, but not this!"
"I desist!"
"Then come over and apologize! As far as I'm concerned, your discovery is in no further need of testing."
"In that case, let's return to camp. I won't walk over to you first, but will meet you both at the brook outside the basin."
When I got there, they hadn't arrived yet. It took quite a while before they turned up.
"We had to let you wait," my wife apologized. "It was important to make it as comfortable as possible for you."
"Your listening post, the stone hut, where you will have to stay for hours or maybe even longer. It had to be cleaned out first. Then, we placed enough dry leaves in there, so that you can be as comfortable as the circumstances allow. Are we going up now?"

I was planning on getting the fantum pro 29 (I weight ~200lbs); but now I have the opportunity to get a new 700HT for $400 shipped; its half the price, so now I dunno what to do
EDIT: I can also get the Fantum Trail for $450
Last edited by wearetheborg; 10-03-2008 at 03:56 AM.
How do you get the discount on those two bikes?
Having now owned a 29er for a few months, I personally would not compromise by getting a cheaper 26er. But if you haven't yet drank any of the 29er kool aid yet...then you may never know the difference.
Rollin With No Colon!

I went nearly nuts trying to figure this out, spent entire yesterday and today.
The extra value for the Fantom pro I estimated as:
$125 for the fork
$50 for the XT derailleur
$100 for the brakes
$50 for the crankset
-$50 for the frame (the frame on the fantom trail seems better)
So, $275 additonal in total; of which I dont really care all that much about the brakes so $175 in real difference. But this $175 is something I'd really like
But the moto pro costs $350 more...

Most people think of a habit as something that is bad for us; something we need to break or stop, but there are many habits we can start; habits we can strive for that can be very good for us. There are many theories about how long it takes to create a new habit, or break an old one, but I think it really depends on the person. Some habits may be more difficult and therefore will take a bit longer, while others may come quite easily. The most important thing to keep in mind is to be determined and don't give up if you falter a bit. Here is a list of good habits to work toward. I think you'll find that positive changes will help you grow as a person, and will lead you to a happier you.
Get up earlier in the morning
When I was in my teens and 20's, I relished the opportunity to sleep in; every chance I got and for as long as possible! While that's good to do from time to time, getting up earlier in the morning can prove to be a great eye opener! Whether you spend the time meditating, working out, going for a walk, enjoying a cup of tea, or visiting with your significant other a wee bit longer than normal, the extra time, well spent, can be very rewarding. Watching the sun come up, for example can make you more aware of nature and give you the enjoyment of seizing the moment that many others take for granted. If you find yourself rushed in the mornings, that extra time may start your day out a little less stressful and help you feel more together. If the idea seems daunting to you, start small. Begin with 15 minutes until you become accustomed to the change, then add another 15. It lends a feeling of accomplishment and I think you will find it refreshing.
If you've never practiced meditation before, there is a lot of information on the web. There are also books and DVD's for beginners that explain the basics as well as more advanced lessons. I suggest anything by Rodney Yee. I have read his books and own several DVD's for meditation and Yoga and he is very easy to listen to and lends a peacefulness to the process which makes it enjoyable. Even if you only meditate for 10 minutes a few times a week for starters, you will benefit from calming your mind and allotting some time to truly relax. We all need this to shed stress and connect with the peacefulness inside us. Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years, and has not always been seen in western civilizations as a serious practice, however many medical professionals encourage meditation now, and see it as a healthy addition to well-being. According to The Mayo Clinic, meditation can help many illnesses such as allergies, anxiety, asthma, binge eating, cancer, depression, fatigue, heart disease, high blood pressure, pain, sleep problems, and substance abuse. Meditation is even seen in the animal kingdom. Have you ever watched your pet find a comfortable spot and gaze out a window or across a field? Research has shown that many animals practice this calming ritual and believe it has the same benefits to them as to humans. When I meditate, my dog and cat both come into the room and join me. It is as though they sense the calming, peacefulness. They both sit quietly in stillness with me. Whether you meditate in the morning, mid-day, or before bed, meditation can bring you a calm sense of self and add some peacefulness to your life.
As with meditation, there is a wealth of information about the benefits of Yoga. It is a low stress exercise that has been proven to aid in circulation, digestion, eliminate toxins, clear the mind, improve posture, improve balance, relieve joint pain, improve breathing, and relieve stress. Many people think of Yoga and expect they will have to be able to twist themselves into a human pretzel, but this is not true. There are many different kinds of Yoga such as prenatal Yoga, relaxation Yoga, and power Yoga, so whatever your age or body type, there is a Yoga that will fit your needs. If you avoid strenuous exercise because it seems difficult, Yoga can help you become more flexible, strengthen muscles, and make your body and mind more powerful. Yoga also helps with focus. I have a daughter who is diagnosed with ADD. As some of you know, ADD is a disorder caused by the brains inability to process information at the average rate. A child without ADD processes information in about 3 seconds, where an ADD child can take up to 14 seconds to process the same information. Both meditation and Yoga have helped my daughter focus and has the ability to calm her mind allowing for quicker responses and faster processing of information. The key to making Yoga a new habit is to go slowly. If you don't feel you can master the positions exactly like the Yoga instructor, do what you can and don't be discouraged. Each time you practice Yoga, the movements will become easier and your flexibility will improve. Set aside time as often as you can whether it's once or twice a week, or every morning. If you prefer gathering with others, most towns offer Yoga classes. Check your local school, church, or community center. Once you begin to notice the benefits, you will look forward to Yoga and find a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is becoming healthier in mind and body.
Even if you don't consider yourself a fantastic writer, journaling is good for the mind, body, and soul. We all have thoughts, feelings, and ideas floating around in our heads. We often don't share these thoughts with others due to lack of time, or attention. Maybe we even feel that others wouldn't be interested or would think our thoughts are silly or repetative. It is important to accept, acknowledge, and love our own minds. Mindfulness has been described as, "the practice of purposefully focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it without judgment. Mindfulness is now being examined scientifically and has been found to be a key element in happiness". Journaling will help you become more mindful because it allows you to take a quiet moment and truly get in touch with your thoughts and feelings. By writing down your thoughts, things you're thankful for, ideas, feelings, or even dreams, you are purposfully acknowledging what is in your heart and mind and gaining to ability to accept yourself. Journaling also gives you something tangible to reflect back on later, which can make you aware of how you've grown over time and remind you of hurdles you have overcome. This will help prevent you from "bottling up" feelings or treating them as if they're not important and will give you a better sense of what you want from your life.
One of the biggest hurdles we have in our lives that keeps us from accomplishing our goals and dreams is our own feeling of inability. We allow self-doubt to hold us back, then find ourselves looking back in time and saying, "if only I had done this or that when I was younger, or when I had the money, or when I had more time". If there is something you want, the time to strive for it is now. Even if you have to take baby steps toward your goal, the act of doing anything toward that goal is better than inactivity. Visualizing your goal and yourself accomplishing the goal is a very positive way to move forward and avoid feelings of failure. It has been said that, "If you are searching for that one person who will change your life, take a look in the mirror". While you may want the support of family and friends, the only person who can truly make your dreams come true is you! Take a few moments a day and sit quietly. Picture yourself at a crossroad and acknowledge that one road will take you to the same place you have been, while the other road will take you to the destination you're seeking. Imagine yourself the way you want to be; strong, capable, healthy, and begin to walk down that path. Recognize what needs to be done to make the trip successful and begin to see it as something you CAN accomplish. By picturing your hopes and dreams, you will begin to replace the feelings of doubt and inability with thoughts of what you need to do next. You will convince your mind that this goal IS in reach and begin to accept the responsibility to make it happen.
Rid your life of the toxic elements
If you were to make yourself a pot of tea, you would boil the water, add tea bags, maybe some honey or lemon. Would you decide to add a little bleach? A teaspoon of weed killer? Of course not, so why would you allow toxic things in your life? Toxic people, poisonous attitudes, and unhealthy behaviors taint your mind, body and soul just as toxic chemicals would ruin your tea. Identify people who keep you down or make you feel unable to make the changes you long for. If eliminating a person from your life completely seems harsh or isn't possible, then at least address the issue and expect respect even if they can't or won't give you support. Your dreams are precious to your life and well-being, so stand up for them, defend them, protect them so they can grow. If you're spending a great deal of time on something that you really don't want to be doing, make some changes with that time in order to open it up for the things you truly want to be doing. By stopping the behavior that is stripping you of joy, you will tell yourself that time is worth something good and you will begin to believe that you have as much ability to attain your goals as any other person, and you will show those who are not supportive that you are stronger than their desire to hold you back.
Welcome Positivity
Sometimes the goals and dreams we have are not necessarily commonplace for others in our lives. In my life, for example, I am not surrounded by writers. My husband works with computers and programming, my kids are involved with their friends, school, and plans for their own futures, and most of my friends have interests that are not always the same as mine. In order to get the support we all need, sometimes it is necessary to seek people outside our everyday life. If you find this is true, join a club, take an art class or writing seminar. If your goal is to lose weight, join a gym or weight watchers group. If your dream involves a further education, join a study group with other college students that have similar goals. The internet has endless possibilities for support groups, blogs, and internet communities of people with the same mindset as you. You may even find that encouraging others will also reinforce your own encouragement. It's nice for me when my family or friends say something positive about my writing, but there is always that voice in my head suggesting they are just telling me that because they don't want to discourage me. By seeking people outside your everyday life, people who have the same interests, people who don't have anything to gain by encouraging you or giving you constructive criticism, you will give yourself a very helpful resource for your goals. Become a sponge for positivity. Absorb every ounce of it you can. This positivity will help you grow and will bring your goals into the forefront of your life.
When standing at a crossroad and being aware that a change is needed, it is important to evaluate. Evaluate your needs. Evaluate your unhealthy habits and negative mindsets. Do not allow the business of life to get in the way. Clear out the clutter and make room for positive habits in place of unhealthy ones. Create positivity. Welcome encouragement. Repel negativity. Become one with the knowledge that life has great things in store for you and that you are bound for the destination of your dreams!
"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."

During practice this morning, remembered that Matthew Sweeney made a specific point of telling us to look at our shins during forward bends (versus straining to look at the feet). Got the impression that as the hammies and lower back open — in their own time — the ability to look at the feet will just evolve on its own.
Someone asked about curling forward (i.e., curving the back) in forward bends, versus folding forward through the hips. He entertained the question but did not want to make any definitive pronouncements. Well, except for this (characteristic) one: try something and if it hurts, try something else. Then see how it goes. If you are feeling better, keep going; if you are feeling worse, cut back.
This is similar to what he said regarding working through injuries: push into pain spots a little and see how it feels; if better, carry on; if worse, cut back. The subtlety inherent in this little bit of what would appear to be common sense is that you have to be making the better-or-worse judgements continuously, day-to-day and moment-to-moment.
I know I'm guilty of being optimistic and tend to push into pain figuring everything'll be fine. So far, luck has been with me.
Last night at dinner, The Cop and I were talking about something that could go awry (can't quite remember what it was), and I said, "I'm sure everything will be okay."
He made some comment about how that statement is typical of me. I was amused, but then thought about it a bit. People tell me they like to talk to me at work or when they have problems, because I tell them that everything will be okay. Again, I am amused, because surely everyone is capable of telling themselves that things will be okay — which they will, one way or another. Even if something goes horribly wrong. Eventually, things will sort out. Possibly not the way one might prefer, but whatever.
My dad is both stoic and an optimist. A lovely combination, I think. What I learned from him is that optimism is simply a habit — possible to cultivate with some practice, and handy to have available in this world.
Yes, I still intend to post about Matthew Sweeney's classroom management skills. Have a bunch of notes and will need time to sort it out in my head. Probably something I can get to this weekend.

Since taking office in March, Palm Beach County Sheriff Charles McCutcheon has attempted to arrest the image of a department troubled with nepotism and sexual harassment.
Yet a McCutcheon-approved hire may re-ignite both issues.
Three sheriff's sergeants, all males, filed a federal complaint last month that said they were victims of sexual harassment through Vicki Cutcliffe, now a former sheriff's deputy.
And they say they were subject to retaliation "due to [Cutcliffe's) close relationship with the sheriff," according to a claim filed on Sept. 25 with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Cutcliffe's father, Leo Callahan, was police chief in Fort Lauderdale when McCutcheon was police chief in Boca Raton. They've known each other more than 30 years.
When Cutcliffe and her older sister, Carole Raggio, were forced from their Broward sheriff's jobs after the election of Ron Cochran in 1992, Callahan introduced them to McCutcheon, then undersheriff of Palm Beach County.
In 1993 the sisters became road patrol deputies when McCutcheon and Col. Frank Fogleman overrode an internal affairs report advising against hiring the women.
During his background check on Cutcliffe, Palm Beach County sheriff's internal affairs Sgt. James Bannister found that Cutcliffe, while at the Broward Sheriff's Office, invoked her father's name to make problems go away.
Callahan was an administrative assistant to ex-Broward Sheriff Nick Navarro, whom Cochran defeated.
After being hired in Palm Beach County, Cutcliffe and Raggio were assigned to the Delray Beach substation, which was run by Capt. Pat McCutcheon, Charles McCutcheon's son.

Why Believers Don't Know Jack
Christians are great at saying they believe in something but acting otherwise. James calls it looking in the mirror and forgetting what you see.
We say we believe in grace but impose rules.
We say we believe in freedom but bring people into "righteous" bondage.
We say we want others to trust in Jesus but add religious ceremonies and activities. It's ridiculous!
We say we want to be like Jesus – who was the friend of sinners – but we make sinners the enemy. Rather than adapting to them, like Jesus did, we expect them to adapt to us. He became human. Perhaps we should try it.
Frequently the message we send to outsiders is act like a believer before you become a believer. Not only is it foolish, it's selfish. We demand comfort for ourselves while making others uncomfortable. It's disgusting!
It's no wonder nonChristians have a low view of church and Christians. We have a reputation of wanting things, demanding conformity, rejecting sinners, and pretending we are better than we are. It's nauseating!
Questions for the day:
- How can I help someone think highly of Jesus?
- How can I love someone without expecting a return?
- How can I bring positive value? Value doesn't occur until we give more than we take, not before.
I can imagine believers nodding while they read that list of questions. Yet, truth be told, we haven't the first idea of what it looks like. Our heads are so buried up our righteous butts that we've convinced ourselves we are doing things we aren't.
How can you practice the questions I asked? If you can't describe it, you can't do it. Period!
Truth be told, we want to talk it but we DON'T want to do it. We don't know jack till we practice what we preach!

Not flattering on me!! Looks very white. Very blah even when I applied a topper. Applies well; formula is not goopy. Very pretty in the bottle.
I prefer other colours from Sinful Colours:
social ladder - sheer shimmery pink
Glass pink - shimmery pink
Rose Dust - cream purple/pink

I own 300+ polishes packed like sardines in a Melmer, so the fact that I've worn this one more than once, let alone regularly, says a lot.
Yes it applies like White-Out. But with a thick self-leveling topcoat (I use SV), all application sins are forgiven. It's a lovely shade of near-white neutral pink (lighter IRL than in the bottle shot here) that looks immaculately clean, just pink enough to pass for office wear, but stark white enough to be punchy and not boring. I use this as a palate cleanser shade, and it's still fun to look at. Stands out against any skin tone.
Just apply with a steady and careful hand because the formula is difficult. I recommend four coats.

Not one good thing to say about this. The formula was thick, gloppy. It was very streaky. Took 3 coats and it was a very unattractive white/pink. A top coat of Seche Vite helped.I threw the bottle away, I knew it wasn't worth the time and trouble to use again. There are so many good pale, neutrals today.

Beautiful shade in the bottle, ruined by excessively thick pasty consistency looking super cheap once applied. Have you ever purchased something assuming it's a win and tossed it that same day, because you hated it , then repeated the mistake again? Ugh. Skip this..

I am loving nude nail polishes and this is a winner. I was a nail technician in the day so I've used many many polishes and this one is terrific. The colour is a slight pinky white which makes my hands look beautiful. It also dried extremely quickly. I used two coats and the coverage was even. I have absolutely no complaints at all. For $4 a bottle it's a little beauty. I will definitely be going straight out and buying backup bottles.

This product doesn't last long on my nails, and neither does it apply equally. I wouldn't waste my money of this.

For a "pink-tinted" (white) polish, the coverage/consistency of Easy Going is incredible!
Most white based light pinks are super streaky/goopy no matter what the price range, but this one goes on streak free with the second coat, and the formula is very manageable and forgiving for a white.
For those of you who are insisting on the streakiness of this polish, I have to emphasize that just like for any white based polish, application technique is EVERYTHING here. That's not on Sinful Colors though, it's just the way with this type of pigment.
I have tried many in this price range and also opi/essie, etc, and this one wins for me. I'm so glad I shrugged my shoulders at the negative reviews and gave it a chance.
It's easily a HG light pink/nude polish for me, and is the perfect balance between pink and white. So classy looking!
I am really impressed with the formula on this one. Just do a thin first coat and a generous second coat and with a fast dry top coat, you will be good to go!
Nothing but love for this polish from me.

This turns from streaky to opaque, disappointing all the way. Whoever said it looked like house paint nailed it. I somehow thought it would be a dupe for OPI Don't Burst My Bubble. I was wrong, but only 99 cents' worth. It does make me look tan, but that's not what I was going for. Just don't like the finish.
Update: an great alternative to this is Sinful Colors Mad Matter from their Porcelain Matte collection. It is very similar, but more of a cool light pink. Its application and formula are a dream.

I held off on buying it because of the bad reviews however, I finally purchased it and I love it!! I'm all for nude nail polishes especially those with pink undertones. Two coats and I'm set. It also lasts long without chipping, pretty amazing for a $2 nail polish

One of my signature colors - i get compliments on it all the time.
I wore this color on my wedding day :)
Not too pink, light enough to make hands look more tan than they actually are.
The formula IS a little on the streaky side. I usually apply 2 - 3 thin coats. Dry time is closer to an hour but well worth it. Usually lasts 4+ days without chipping.
I will absolutely buy again - the price is great and so is the color.

I finally get it
I finally get it and it suits my soul just fine.
Lately, a little voice has been asking me what my "next step" will be. I've been stressed damn near out of my skull trying to find the answer to that question. Well I finally get it. The answer for me is not at all important to post because my answer is not your answer and vice versa. It came to me as I was walking down the street this morning, so clear. No, the earth didn't shake, no, a big voice from above didn't give me a script to follow, nor was I given a prescription to take (which is good, because I don't do any drugs) I had a simple thought and it made me happy. I saw myself in my grand scheme of things and for once didn't compare myself to anyone else. I liked what I saw.
I wouldn't trade places with anyone. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks because only I have the answer. I finally have the answer and I don't even feel like jumping up and down because it's been there in front of me the entire time. All of the choices, places, people now make sense.
Have a happy day and pay attention to your life.

I don't know which of your last, like 5 posts to comment on, so why not here?? Since you've had your questions answered, would you mind tackling a few of mine? Namely…
1) You're six feet tall??
2) You didn't really find (and buy!) that black & white graphic jacket did you??
3) Travel & Leisure know they did wrong by NOT featuring shorty with no pants on, right?
4) How'd you get to be so dope????
Take your time. Some of q's require a light touch ;-))

Blizzard announced during its "State of the Game" BlizzCon panel in November that Heroes of the Storm would be getting a new matchmaking system before the end of the year. Where the original system, based on the one used by StarCraft 2, focused on speed rather than match quality, the new way of doing things reverses those priorities, which Blizzard said should lead to a more consistent rate of "quality" matches.
The tradeoff is a potentially longer wait for match creation, as the system attempts to put together players with similar matchmaking ratings (MMR). Queue priority will be given to players who have been waiting the longest, which will help keep waits to a (hopefully) reasonable rate, and if the matchmaker determines that your wait time has become "excessive," it will broaden the parameters of its search, meaning that you could end up facing an opponent slightly above or below your ranking despite the changes. Blizzard added, however, that most players are unlikely to experience this, as it will primarily affect "those at the extreme ends of the MMR spectrum when searching for a match during off-peak queue times."
Changes have also been made to party matchmaking, and even to the loading screen, which will now more effectively communicate who you'll be fighting with and against, and to make it "easier to understand how a low-rated player managed to find their way into your game," if and when that happens.
Blizzard warned that there may be a hitch or two from time to time, as the system is still quite new, but said it will continue to monitor matchmaking data and make adjustments as necessary. It also put up a list of "known challenges and future improvements," which includes things like improving team compositions in Quick Matches, and preventing players from being matched with people on their Blocked Communication list.
"This is only the beginning of the changes we have in store for Heroes of the Storm matchmaking, and providing evenly matched games is still our highest priority," Blizzard wrote. "We're going to keep monitoring data from live games, and will continue to make improvements with future updates."
Unfortunately, but not unsurprisingly, the changes to the matchmaking system do not include the addition of a "spectate friend" feature. Game Director Dustin Browder said earlier this month that the option won't be coming anytime soon, and it seems he wasn't just trying to set everyone up for a surprise reveal.

I am usually not a pants fan. So much so that for about 10 years, all I wore was dresses. But this is changing and I must admit that I am a huge fan of "The Jumpsuit". Rightfully so, my post today is all about the jumpsuit and how to go about finding the one for your body type. Note to self: As amazing as something might look on a mannequin and/or hanger, I am not blessed with a mannequin physique, so I try to wear items which flatter my body type.
Recently jumpsuits have become very popular (they are no longer restricted to prison inmates) and are ideal for both day and evening looks. If you have a thin waist and petite figure (bless you), a short jumpsuit will scream femininity and make you look taller. If you'd like to draw attention to the bust area, choose a jumpsuit that's either strapless or has a V-neck. Strapless jumpsuits are also perfect for summer so it's a perfect addition to anyone's closet. Tall, skinny girls can pull of any jumpsuit (oh how I hate you ladies).
I've kept my look for today quite simple; with a loose fitting jumpsuit (I have bulges in all the wrong places so this works perfectly). I've paired my jumpsuit with a waterfall blazer and pearls for an office friendly look. Hope this helps you find some jumpsuit inspiration!!!
Jumpsuit – Mango
Waterfall Blazer – Clothing Market in Thailand
Shoes – Woolworths
Bag – Zulu Lulu
Pearls – Zulu Lulu


text: One day in our back yard we found a spider wasp trying to carry a paralysed huntsmen spider up our glass sliding door. I had never seen a spider wasp before. I had to look it up on the internet. Apparently they travel solo and stun spiders to use as feeding bays for their young. The spiders are still alive when their babies are born. Ew. I called a pest specialist to see what I could do. They advised I try to spray it with insecticide and not make it angry. NOT make it angry. We were freaking out about going outside at all. I eventually got up the courage to venture outside with a fly swatter and a can of fly spray. I was the mummy and it was my job. I sprayed that sucker several times. It got angry and flew away. At least it dropped the spider. I could not catch it to kill it. So we still didn't venture outside for some for fear of running into a pissed off spider wasp.

New Year Policy Resolutions
March 4, 2009 at 6:47 pm vendorcompliance Leave a comment
Business policies, like New Year resolutions, are written with the best intentions. With a new policy in place, operations will be more efficient. Universal understanding will be achieved. Expenses will be reduced and profits will soar.
These policies, like resolutions, are enthusiastically followed the first few months. Then they are forgotten. Keeping a policy "live" over time takes effort. Requires changes in core behaviors.
A recent article in Health-System Pharmacy News, quoted Dave Hicks, the University of Chicago Medical Center's chief pharmacy officer, talking about their Vendormate-based vendor management application.
Hicks said the medical center already had a vendor-management policy in place, but compliance was inadequate.
"The vendor would make an appointment with somebody at the hospital, and that would get them through security," Hicks explained. "And then they'd spend the day in the hospital trolling the hallways, essentially, and looking for people to have ad hoc conversations with."
Hicks said the Vendormate system helped put teeth into the existing policy (emphasis added). The program rollout also included education for staff about permitted vendor activities and the medical center's expectations for vendor behavior.
I'll wager that the success University of Chicago and Hicks now are experiencing in policy compliance is based on the behaviors driven by educating the staff and the appointments and sign in process, rather than any new policy.
It's not that the intent to comply wasn't there before. Just like every night that I went to bed, intending to get up early and exercise. But come morning, the existing behavior of hitting the snooze bar was already there. Changing that behavior didn't require a new, "don't hit the snooze bar" policy, but it did require moving the alarm clock out of arm's reach.

To a cardboard, I leave you push pinned, in the Candlewood Suites. A printed photo and a failed drawing both attempted with the greatest of intentions, either for one another's solace, or some attempt at self preservation.
The time we have spent together in this hotel with scarred green carpet has been exquisitely tortuous. I thank you for your acquiescence – you were kind enough to visit me in a shroud in the middle of each night, and then again as a cat on my chest in the morning catching at my breath playfully trying to make me gasp or even feign small deaths between sit ups.
It will not feel symbolic to leave your picture hanging on that wall. Nothing about you has felt symbolic although every moment has been exchanged for a subway token or lottery ticket. All in all a cigar box of Polaroids.
So real is the night, lover, so facetious the day.

My majestical daily life, AKA the awesomeness of being me, continues to entertain me each and every day here in Budapest, despite my often uncomfortable or frustrating surroundings. The noise level recently has been through the roof (or through the floorboards, depending), and I my regular pleas to shut doors to dull the intense noise are being completely ignored. One more month, one more month. I never wanted to long so deeply to leave this semester, and it's so unfortunate that I have to be that way, but I'm counting down the days until I can climb into my 1993 Ford Escort and drive home — by myself. In silence. In solitude.
Having said that, even if I had known beforehand how much worse my hyperacute hearing would become or how bad the noise from my fellow Calvin students here would be, I would still have chosen to come on this semester. For people with normal hearing, there are no problems, so any Calvin students reading this should not be at all discouraged from coming! I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and I will still continue to cherish each and every day and new experience that comes my way while I'm here. But at the same time, the peace and quiet of a forested valley in rural Pennsylvania sounds lovely right about now….
Anyway, aside from the noise which has been tiring me out and frustrating me, Kelly and I have still managed to be up and about despite my exhaustion. We went with Adri to a small cafe that she and I frequent occasionally, and Adri asked that we meet her at Kosztolányi Dezső tér so that she could practice using public transportation with her crutches with us at her side. We happily agreed and, after meeting her and hopping on tram 47, rode leisurely toward Deák Ferenc tér, the end of tram 47's line.
I was standing facing out of the tram window and holding onto a pole when a flash of silver caught my eye for just a moment. Suddenly, the tram driver rang his bell frantically, and the brakes clenched tightly and pitched the entire train forward with a rattling jolt. My knees buckled and I stumbled, but I didn't lose my grip on the pole. Kelly had hold of the hinge between tram cars and steadied herself, and Adri, who was sitting, lurched sideways but clung to her seat.
What seemed like minutes actually lasted only a fraction of a second as the other people standing in the tram car staggered in a synchronized wave, the intense force of the brakes driving them down together. The screech of rubber and the pistol-like bang of shattered glass snapped all of us in the stalled train back to our senses. A silver van, its back half crushed in like a paper bag, trickled diamond-like glass shards along the road as it gimped out from in front of the tram. The tram driver flung himself out of his compartment at the front of the 47, shouting, "Van valaki megsérült? [Is there anyone hurt?]" Thankfully, no one was, and Kelly and I briskly grabbed Adri's canes and helped her evacuate from the tram onto the middle of the road. We made our way to the curb and looked back to see the tram, its front cowcatcher bent grotesquely sideways, frozen on the tracks next to the crippled van.
Although the van had been making an illegal U-turn across the tracks, the van driver was lecturing the tram conductor (who would have none of it, if I don't say so myself). We couldn't stick around, as the congestion of people in the area was only making things worse and I assumed that Adri was getting tired from walking so far on her canes after such a stressful wreck. It was obvious that waiting for another tram would be pointless at that point, because none of them would be able to get around the 47. Thankfully, we were near enough to Astoria that we got the metro. Adri was a great sport and walked all that way, down the steps, onto a metro, and then up two escalators with our help. It was stressful to help her, as I was always fearing that I would somehow hurt her or that I wouldn't be able to catch her and she would fall, but we made it! I was very worried about her, but she managed with a positive attitude to boot.
After that, making it to the cafe was easy (if exhausting for Adri, who'd walked quite far by that point). The next day, when I showed up for work and mentioned the collision to one of my superiors at Telepátia Nyelviskola, Borbély Eszter, she quickly pulled up the incident report of it online: (http://www.origo.hu/itthon/20121026-karambolozott-a-kiskoruti-villamos.html).
Speaking of work, I do really enjoy it. I received this message from Eszter just today, actually: "We just checked one of the recordings – the taxi one – and found that your voice is very-very pleasant. We like you the most. (so does Caroline :-))"
Caroline is this very fun, very spunky British lady that does the British English pronunciations for the recordings while I do the American English ones alongside the other voice actors — Holubecz Bálint (lots of fun, really positive attitude, though he usually just runs the sound system), Odze Orsolya (also very nice, the first one from Telepátia that I spoke to), and occasionally Ezster if Odze is busy. It depends on whether the script calls for a man or woman, British/American/Hungarian, etc. Anyway, Caroline takes an affectionate interest in my time here in Hungary and often inquires about how things are going with the noise back here in the dorm. She's great to be around.
On Monday (November 5), I took my Hungarian language midterm, which I feel like I aced. We'll find out next week! I sat down in the classroom and we had a bit of class before the test; shortly before the exam was handed out, a young lady walked into the classroom and sat down. Having been absent from class last time due to whatever illness I picked up in Romania, I had no idea that this new girl had joined our class, but today was her first day. Professor Laszlo (I don't know why, but he's the only professor I've ever called by first name) asked her to introduce herself. She seemed very confused, and he broke it down, asking her individual questions. Her English was very rough, and she whispered for fear of getting her words wrong, but when Laszlo asked her where she was from, she replied, "Japan."
My face ——-> O_O
My brain exploded.
I just had this sudden urge to be like, "キャアアア!どこから来ましたか。私はキャリです。ちょっと日本語を話しますよ。手伝いましょうか。大学でせんこうは日本語ですから、お姉さんのために翻訳することができます [OMG, where are you from in Japan? My name is Carrie. I can speak some Japanese. Would you like me to help you? At college, my major is Japanese, so I can translate for you if you want]," as well as a whole bunch of other stuff that I wanted to say. Unfortunately, the midterm got in the way. She was very nervous through the rest of class, so when class was over, I was going to meet her in the hall and ask her something simple like "大変でしたね [It was tough!]" or something, but the professor asked her to stay a bit later to help fill her in on what she'd missed at the beginning of class, so I didn't have a chance. Oh well. Hopefully she's there next week and I can talk with her!
What else? Let's see….I decided that, now that my homemade banana oatmeal cream bites were long gone, I should probably make some other sort of snacky food. Not having access to an oven or nice baking pans, it's up to me to create my own recipes here. So, scrounging together a basic idea of what every brownie needs in order to actually be a brownie, I created my own recipe and made brownie bites in a skillet on the stovetop. Because I am Queen of Skillet Cooking. I can cook anything in a skillet. Seriously.
I know they look like pancakes, but they have quite a different consistency. They are indeed brownies! I just broke them apart to make them bite-size. This recipe, which I created myself, uses only cheap ingredients — no butter, no vanilla extract, no chocolate chips (or cocoa, or baking chocolate, or melted chocolate in general), no brown sugar. And yes, they still taste like chocolate brownies, with the same soft texture. Fudgy, even, thanks to my cooking skills — take a look at the middle!
I got up early in the morning in order to make those before most people woke up and crowded into the kitchen. Kelly had just woken up when I'd finished, so I went back into my room to study for my upcoming linguistics midterm at Karoli Gaspar. I looked at the study guide. Now, don't get me wrong, I love linguistics, and it (especially morphology) is something that has always in some way come very naturally to me. I read the textbook pages that weren't assigned because I was interested, took way more notes that everyone else in class, and just devoured everything that Professor Csides has been saying since September. I saw this question on my study sheet:
Allophones of a phoneme are in a __________ distribution.
Hmm…that's a tough one. I'll have to think about that for a minute. Let's look at another one.
List the alveolar consonants of English.
Need to think about that one too. Anything I can answer right now?
Transcribe the following words according to RP, using the Gimsonian notation. Mark stress when necessary.
I'm screwed, aren't I?
The syllable consists of an onset, a nucleus, and a _______.
CODA, baby. The answer is CODA. Booyah!
So I got one right, at least…. 😉
It's not that I don't know the answers to these things, it's that I don't know them quickly. This test is 40 questions, and most of them (about 35 of them) are like the first three above. It's not that I couldn't figure them out. It's that I have 50 minutes to take the whole test. And when it says to "transcribe the words according to RP," that RP is short for BrRP, or "British Received Pronunciation." That means that I can't mark stress or sound based on my American accent — I have to use the British accent. That makes a big difference in documenting /r/ as well as the glottal (you know, how they don't say "ScoTland," they say "Sco_land." British people don't say the T, and there's a special symbol for that). It makes the test more difficult and time consuming.
Needless to say, I'll really have to study for this puppy. But, I'm really excited too. This has been a fantastic class, and I really love it. It is the first time that I have ever actually felt like I am at the college level. I've never had a class that has challenged me in this way.
Then again, that could also be because some Karoli students are also taking this class for their Master's degree….
After I'd finished studying, Kelly and I went to Centrál Kávéház to observe the people there for a journal assignment about food culture in Hungary. I can certainly say that I was not expecting the level of grandeur that that place showed off once we got there.
I was thinking, Oh, it's just a coffee house. It won't be anything fancy. Yeah.
I originally wanted just a small piece of (relatively cheap) cake, but I decided to majorly splurge and get a meal that I probably will never have again — Sztrapacska, a curd-potato gnocchi "from the Uplands" (northern regions of Hungary and southern parts of Slovakia) with ewe cheese and sour cream and bacon bits. It was certainly delicious!
The ewe cheese was quite unique, having an almost smoky taste. It was bitter, much more so than, say, sharp cheddar, but it was quite good. Then again, Kelly misread the menu and thought we were getting emu cheese, so I'm not sure if she got what she was expecting. 😉
She looked up at me and said, "How exactly do you milk an emu?"
What a perfect point on which to end a blog! 😉

I'm so sleepy but I can't sleep. 😣😣😭😪
Listening to Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran
Preview it on Path
yes he is. I'd try singing like him but the cats would run away and hide under my bed.
Haha. Though it's so fun when there's whole group of friends who can't sing nd still they jam together.. it's silly but so fun.
that's like being in Germany for the Christmas Markets. you think you can sing in German with enough gluhwein in ya.
I think I may. Who knows!! I wanna go see Europe so bad. God knows when that's happening.!
Yeah. If I have to chose somewhere closer to where I live it would be Diu or Goa or Kerala.
Imagination are great though
Itn't it! Thank God I'm not the only one who does crazy fan thing. He's real talented man.
Yes he is! And I'm really happy I've found someone to fan-girl about Ed with! 🙂

I am constantly amazed as to the signs indicating the closure of the Limehouse Link and the Blackwall Tunnel. The Limehouse Link signs have actually become a source of amuzement amongst my friends and I. You see, the end date for roadworks keeps getting put back two months at a time. At the moment, its indicating that it will be shut until the 23rd December, 2007. Of course, I should go and put a bet on in Ladbrokes that at the end of December, it will say the tunnel is shut until 29th February 2008.
As to the Blackwall Tunnel, anyone who has ever travelled (or not) in the southbound tunnel after midnight between Tuesdays and Saturday will know that it was supposed to have been completed in Spring 2004 – at least that is what the first ever sign I saw indicated. Given it is now Winter 2007 and all emails from Transport for London still say the works will be completed "soon", one has to wonder if it will ever be finished. Personally, I think not given that its rare to see anyone working in the tunnel whilst travelling through it in convoy. I have yet to go through on a Tuesday when contraflow is not in place, meaning the northbound tunnel appears to be constantly undergoing roadworks, too.
I am always amazed to see traffic jams at two or three in the morning, but not anymore. The way the Department of Transport handle roadworks I should be surprised there are no traffic jams anywhere – no matter what the time, day or night.
