2 2 Infinity Beads Tutorial Black diamond necklace Materials: Infinity Beads 163 pcs /3x6mm Round beads 9 pcs Druks /8mm Seed beads 27 pcs in our design we used DeluXes pressed seed beads /3mm = 8/0. You can also use other seed beads of size 8/0 (try to select the similar sized ones to get a nice consistant proportions to your necklace) Jump rings 21 pcs - ø 4mm Nylon Line 4 meters / 4,4yd ø 0,25mm Eye pins 9 pcs length 22mm Lobster Clasp and Split Ring or other clasp you wish to use Tools: Scissors Beading pliers round nose and needle nose pliers Long thin needle Procedure: The necklace is assembled from a seperate fragments that we will stitch up first seperately and then link them all together: 1x middle circle 2x large diamond 5x middle-sized diamond 2x small diamond
3 3 Infinity Beads Tutorial Black diamond necklace Step 1 Prepare a needle with the nylon line 35cm /13,8in long. String 12 Infinity beads and tie them together with a double knot to create a circle. Make sure you will leave a 10cm/4in loose end of the nylon line (on the end without needle). Draw the needle through the loose/upper hole of the nearest Infinity bead. (Picture #1) Step 2 Now we will be working with the loose/upper holes of Infinity beads. Draw the needle with the nylon through the Infinity beads one by one and always string 1 seed bead or Infinity beady in between in a following sequence: 2x seed bead 1x Infinity bead 3x seed bead 1x Infinity bead 3x seed bead 1x Infinity bead 1x seed bead (Picture #2) When finished, thread the needle on the other end of the nylon line and pass the needle in the opposite direction through all the beads in circle until you reach the other end of the nylon line. (Picture #3) Tie both ends together with a double knot. Fasten off the nylon line on both ends. Pass the nylon line through the few nearest beads and cut off.
4 4 Infinity Beads Tutorial Black diamond necklace Step 3 Now we will make 2 small diamonds, each out of 9 Infinity beads. Prepare a needle with 30cm/11,9in long nylon line and string 3 Infinity beads I-1, I-2, I-3. Arrange the Infinity beads as follows: I-1 loose hole down, I-2 loose hole up, I-3 loose hole down (Picture #4) Leave 10cm/4in loose end of the nylon line. Step 4 One by one add the other Infinity beads in between the strung ones as follows: String I-4 and pass through the lower hole of I-3. String I-5 and pass through the lower hole of I-1. String I-6 and pass through the lower hole of the same back. String I-7 and pass through the lower hole of I-5. String I-8 and pass through the lower hole of I-4. Pass through the lower hole of I-8, add I-9 and pass through the lower hole of I-7. (Picture #5) Step 5 Draw the nylon line back in the previous line through two Infinity beads (I-6 lower hole and I-7 upper hole). Thread the needle on the other end of the nylon line and draw the needle through the following 2 lines (I-6 UH, I-1 LH, I-5 UH, I-3 LH, I-4 UH, I-4 LH, I-8 UH, I-5 LH) until both end of the nylon line will meet at the same spot. (Picture #6) Tie both ends of the nylon line with a double knot. Pass each end through beads in opposite directions and cut the nylon off. Repeat Step 3 to 5 and make another small diamond.
5 5 Infinity Beads Tutorial Black diamond necklace Step 6 Make the middle-sized and large diamonds the same way as the small ones. Middle-sized diamond (Picture #7) For each middle-sized diamond you will need 40cm/15,8in of nylon line and 16 pcs of Infinity beads. Follow the instructions for the small diamond (Step 3 to 5) and Picture #7. Make 5 middlesized diamonds. Large diamond (Picture #8) For each large diamond you will need 50cm/19,7in of nylon line and 25 pcs of Infinity beads. Follow the instructions for the small diamond (Step 3 to 5) and Picture #8. Make 2 large diamonds. Step 7 On an eye pin place 1 seed bead + 8mm druk + 1 seed bead and close with a round loop. (Picture #9) Make 8 individual pieces. Step 8 Now we are ready to link all fragments together using the jump rings. Link them in following order: SMALL DIAMOND + LINKED DRUK + MIDDLE-SIZED DIAMOND + DRUK + MIDDLE-SIZED DIAMOND + DRUK + LARGE DIAMOND + DRUK (Picture #10) Make another part the same way.
6 6 Infinity Beads Tutorial Black diamond necklace Step 9 With the help of the jump rings attach both parts from previous step to the sticking out Infinity beads on the middle circle. Hang linked druk bead and last middle-sized diamond on the third Infinity bead. (Picture #11) Step 10 Add jump rings to both ends of the necklace and attach a lobster clasp and a double ring. Step 11 jxää wéçx4 XÇ}Éç çéâü Çxã Çxv~Ätvx4
2. Pass your needle back through all of the beads.

Compact robot is endowed with possibilities to recognize images and voice. Without removing from sales model M3-synchy, Vstone company started taking orders for a more advanced model,which called RPC-S1. Novelty has the following specifications: height 30 cm, 17 degrees of freedom, an integrated computer PICO 820, a camera of 1.3 megapixels, two microphones and a speaker. The only difference between RPC-S1 can be considered reduced in size, less detailed head and hands covered with foam rubber. The robot body is covered with the same material. Feature of the robot's RPC-S1 is the ability to rotate his eyes, regardless of head movement, which allows to focus on an object.

Glossy cover trivialises far-right
The weekly fashion magazine Stylist has been heavily criticised today for its cover feature on far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.
On this week's cover, Le Pen appears with a sticker over her mouth, reading:
"Warning: Contains views and policies that some liberal, modern women will find disturbing"
The image has been widely criticised for trivialising the extremist Le Pen campaign, implying that the Front National's policies are cheeky and challenging, rather than structurally racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic.
And while the full article is less egregious than the cover might suggest, it treats Le Pen's campaign for president as an ordinary political event, failing to acknowledge that — no matter how much she attempts to 'detoxify' — Le Pen is a fascist.
Although she is more image-aware than her father, she has a full suite of aggressive anti-immigrants policies, has regularly dabbled in Islamophobic and anti-Semitism, and continues to affiliate herself with a party that remains structurally violent and racist.
Normalising these views is dangerous, contributing to the idea that the far right is not actually beyond the political pale, and that it is socially and politically acceptable to vote for them. And creating a glamourous fascist aesthetic — as the Stylist cover does — makes such a vote more attractive.
The magazine's editorial team have responded to the outcry, claiming that Stylist 'vehemently does not support her or her views, and any misinterpretation of our stance on Marine Le Pen is regrettable and unintended.'
They defend the cover as 'a visual gag', insisting that:
"by covering Marine Le Pen's mouth with a 'warning' sticker we were — by way of a graphic device — labelling her rhetoric (and sheer existence) a very dangerous thing."
The success of France's fascist right is a dangerous thing. As such, it must be handled extremely carefully.
The Stylist cover may not have been malicious, but it was undoubtedly clumsy.

Both OTA and The Organic Center participated in the Ecological Farming Association's EcoFarm Conference this past week. The Center held a discussion group on manure safety, which was part of a national effort to address issues surrounding animal-based soil amendments. Participants were asked about specific topics such as microbiological contents, compost and manure management, and grazing practices in crop and fruit-producing fields or orchards for human consumption. In addition, the discussion also explored beliefs and attitudes regarding food safety and the use of animal-based soil amendments, and potential economic or other barriers to using compost or treated animal-based soil amendments.

I love this so much… See the first photo I posted this morning? That was at the corner of Washington and St. Charles. I was just walking my babies in the park in Saint Francisville and found this one. I am having the best day ever! I left the one in New Orleans but I took this one with me and I will leave it somewhere along my route later... I love it!

I am overjoyed that The Scent of Holiness has had a very positive reception so far. Many people have written to tell me how much they liked it, and how inspirational they have found some of the stories.
The two greatest compliments I received were when a priest said his prayer flowed better on account of the inspiring stories, and when a well-known author thanked me for opening her "eyes to the beauty and great importance of monasticism." My two biggest goals for the book were to inspire people to struggle to live for Christ, and to encourage people to visit monasteries and look at our precious monastics as lighthouses, shining out in prayer, guiding us safely to shore. And so I'm very thankful that my simple talent – that is my recording of the amazing people I met and experiences I had – has had a positive effect.
At the same time I feel a great responsibility to share with you – as I mention in my Introduction and even in the interview I did with Byzantine Texas – that visiting monasteries is not entirely without struggle and temptation. Although I would like people to visit monasteries, I would like even more for people to visit monasteries with a healthy dose of prudence and humble-mindedness.
Monastics are struggling Christians, just like us. They stumble; they sin, and get back up again and struggle. Like us, they squabble, they disagree, they get frustrated. Some are good monks and nuns and some are "bad" monks and nuns. The point is for us not to be scandalized or judge others no matter what they say or do. And this is the temptation of visiting a monastery. Books like my own are the "nice parts" of monasticism. They are the highlights. Of course, I made it clear that the nuns work hard and have temptations, but I would also like to make clear that for every one incredible experience I had I had three difficult, or at best neutral, experiences.
I honestly believe it's all about perspective. If we can take in the words, ways, and actions of those around us and grind the experience through the mill of a humble mind and heart, we can separate the good from the bad in every experience. So, we take the good out of the situation or conversation and leave the bad, forget about the bad. And by bad I don't necessarily mean the bad on account of the other person, but rather our poor reactions or skepticism. I mean the feeling we sometimes get inside when something "rubs us the wrong way." If we earnestly seek to take something positive out of every encounter and every conversation I think we might just be able to always learn a lesson.
And that's speaking about the more difficult things we may encounter in a monastery. There is also the reality that we'll visit monasteries and not feel as uplifted as we had hoped to. We may go and think, "Well, that was okay, but I certainly didn't meet anyone of the caliper I've read about in books." Many people are very good at hiding their spiritual stature, but just because we don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. And this is true of entire monastic communities, not just the individuals who make it up. It takes time to develop relationships and so it shouldn't surprise us if we don't find a kindred spirit in a monk or nun the very first time we visit their monastery. The point is to visit: go for the sake of the monastery's saint or patron. We should go just because our soul will receive benefit whether or not we even lay eyes on a monastic. And over time we will begin to perceive the wealth of grace contained in a monastery. That is, if we don't perceive it immediately.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, like St. Basil the Great says, you may need to go through the thorns to get the rose. Discard the thorns but keep the rose. Don't be discouraged if you've had or have negative, or even neutral, experiences at Orthodox monasteries. I had plenty of those, I just didn't write a book about them. I wrote a book about the roses.

*Used as "2002" movie subtheme
Lyrics by: Lisa Tang
I go blind when I'm not focused on You, Lord
I go deaf when I hear noises all around
But when I slow down and start praying to You, You speak to me
I can testify to the world You're the one
I want to see Your will in my life being carried out
I want to hear You calling through the wind and rain
I tend to tremble when I start to think of hard times ahead
I wonder why this has to be
It feels like I'm facing the ultimate struggle
Am I dealing with it all alone?
A storm is forming deep inside me
And I don't know when can I ever find peace
It feels like I'm facing the ultimate struggle
On my own, I don't know what to do
And I am losing all my senses
But when You're here, then I know everything will be all right
Repeat Verse, Chorus

Sister Shower for Bobo
Last night we had a "Sister Shower" for my niece, Bobo (third from the right). She is going on a mission in August to Salem Oregon, and the family all chipped in to get her outfitted for her adventure!
My sister, Annette, hosted the shower at her house in Springville. She shared some pictures with Mom and me of the first place she and Kent lived. One of the younger sisters from her recent mission to North Dakota had her revisit that same basement apartment last week, as her grandparents own it!
All of Bobo's Siblings were there, except Sam, who lives in Montana now. Half of Joan's family now lives in Utah County, so the St. George contingent drove up for the day!
My sisters and one sister-in-law were all there except Verlene, in Colorado, who sent this nice watch to Bobo!
We had fun playing some missionary oriented party games. I tried really hard to win, as the winners were supposed to get some of Bobo's handmade pottery.
Sadly, the pottery is all wrapped up and sitting on a table in St. George! They promised to bring it up for our 24th of July extravaganza!
There was also some very good food to eat while we visited. It was a fun way to wish Bobo well as she gets ready to enter the Mission Training Center!

The Man with Nine Lives Movie
"The Man with Nine Lives" In keeping with our video dealing with real life scientists trying to beat death at its own hand, I would like to introduce another movie based roughly upon a real life scientist. That research doctor is Dr. Ralph Stanley Willard. In 1935 the Doctor claimed he could bring "dead" animals back to life.

The funds could help Uber China improve on product innovation, quality control, and customer service, which were the company's three key areas of focus, she told CNBC on Friday at the sidelines of Converge, a technology conference in Hong Kong hosted by the Wall Street Journal and f.ounders, adding that Saudi Arabia's investment was "a vote of confidence in Uber and the ride-sharing market."
She didn't elaborate how the money could be put to work in those sectors, but pointed to services such as uberCOMMUTE as an example of recent innovation. First piloted in China last year, uberCOMMUTE enabled drivers to recoup the cost of their trip, including gas, if they shared the journey with a passenger.
Other new Chinese features included the use of payment platform Alipay to hail a ride within the mainland and abroad.
Such new forays signaled Uber's commitment to bolster its finances following reports in February that it was losing $1 billion a year in China.
The San Francisco-based enterprise has been valued at more than $60 billion.

Housing prices have increased annually.
Knoxville ,TN (PRWEB) November 11, 2013
The great 19th century steel building industrialist Andrew Carnegie once said "90% of millionaires became so through owning real estate." Someone reading this quote may beg-the-differ when looking at how stock prices have compared to investing in property over the past 14 years. However, Peoples Home Equity discusses why investors should look at housing as a stable, tangible, and safe investment especially now.
By referencing the S&P500 index, stocks have given a return of 17.01% from June 1999 to June 2013. Meanwhile, by referencing the S&P/Case-Schiller National Home Price Index real estate prices have risen 54.42% over the same period.
To further emphasize real estates out performance of stocks we can look at the number of times property values increased annually from from June 1999 to June 2013, a 14 year period. The national home prices index increased annually 10 years out of 14 with an average annual return of 4% while the S&P500 stock index increased 9 times annually at an average of 0.2%
The discrepancy in returns between the S&P500 and real estate prices is profound because stock prices have a historically more volatile than real estate prices. More volatility attracts investors to stocks because of the higher potential returns rewarded for a higher risk appetite. However, as the data shows, housing has greatly outperformed the overall stock market index.
Investing in property should attract more buyers because the declines are typically less severe than stocks. Real Estate is also safer than ever thanks to new regulations placing strict credit standard on individuals before they can qualify for a mortgage. These new regulations are in place to help avoid another housing debacle as seen in 2007-2008.
To get started on investing in a home using a mortgage, consider Peoples Home Equity. Peoples Home Equity offers a wide range of lending options on their newly designed website. Their "Compare All Loans" sub-tab of "loan options" displays all 8 of their loan options. The website also offers numerous loan calculators to help in case an investor is not sure they can afford the monthly payment of an additional property.

Cubs Favored in Potential NLCS Matchup vs Nats
Losing consecutive games for the first time since before the all-star break, the Cubs are in a miniature rut as they get set to host the NL East-leading Nationals in a potential NLCS preview. Also on a two-game losing streak, the Nats have slowed down significantly of late and come into Wrigley this afternoon as moneyline underdogs.
- The Nationals are 0-4 SU and 1-3 on the runline in their last 4 games on the road against the Cubs.
- The Cubs are 13-2 SU and 11-4 on the runline in their last 15 games after losing as a favorite.
- The total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Nationals' last 8 games when opening a series.
Taking the mound for their respective teams it's Tanner Roark (8-7, 4.93 ERA) and the recently rehabilitated Kyle Hendricks (4-3, 3.80 ERA). Since coming off the disabled list, Hendricks hasn't exactly been sharp, giving up 14 hits in 9.1 innings of work, but he's been effective, limiting the White Sox and Brewers to just two total earned runs in those starts.
2017 hasn't been nearly the love fest it was for Roark in 2016 but he's been a great back-end starter for the Nats. He's 5-2 on the road this season and in his limited work against Cubs batters, he's held them to a collective .200 average.
With a serious headwind forecasted to be blowing into Wrigley Field at the time of first pitch, I'm expecting the baseball to stay in the park and with Washington's offense struggling of late, it couldn't hurt to target the UNDER.

Today was a very long day, first off it was extremely hot, a whopping 109 degrees outside, so that kind of killed the day. But waking up at four to meet with my Bio. study group was also a factor in my lack of fabulousness today, well we also had lab where we were supposed to go hike to pick leaves for our experiment, but of course we did not. So I ended up wearing a hiking appropriate/school appropriate/ weather appropriate outfit. I wore my skinny jeans with my gold high top Nike's, and an Obey tank I got at the beginning of summer. Nothing special like I said before. Since I have no outfit post today I think I will post a little of what I am craving at the moment.
Marc Jacobs studs.
* I will let all of you know now I am obsessed with Marc! I will dedicate another post just to him, but I just wanted to let all of you know right now.

I really need a good school bag, this bag converts into a backpack and a side satchel, I need it!

Rhode Island: The Business Underdog (of our own making)
Toray has been in Rhode Island for over twenty years. They are looking to expand. They also have a facility in Virginia. The Rhode Island facility is bigger, but the costs are higher. Virginia looks pretty good. #50 business friendly Rhode Island is now competing with #1 business friendly Virginia to woo a business it already has.
[Toray CEO Richard] Schloesser is looking to make his decision by the end of the year, said he'd prefer to expand here. But he's concerned about the cost of doing business in Rhode Island. "It's a very expensive state to do business in," he said....One of Toray's big concerns is energy. The company is the largest consumer of electricity in the state, and it went to court to appeal the power-purchase agreement between National Grid and Deepwater Wind, which plans to build wind farms in the waters off Rhode Island. Toray contended the agreement would drive the price of power too high.Because the overall business environment in this state stinks, the Economic Development Corporation is forced to try to make up for the shortcomings by offering one-time, sweetheart deals.
In an interview last week, Schloesser said the court's decision will have "some impact" on the company's expansion plans.
On Friday, the Rhode Island Supreme Court upheld the power agreement, ruling against Toray and fellow plaintiff Polytop Corp. Schloesser could not be reached for comment Tuesday....[Earlier] Schloesser said he is worried about the long-term economic climate in the state. He said some of Chafee's tax proposals, particularly a 1-percent tax on manufacturing equipment, could have been a deal-breaker for Toray. But that idea never made it through the General Assembly.
"We'd like to have the expansion here, but we have questions about what will happen to the state. Is this going to be a good place to do business in the next five years?"
[EDC Executive Director Keith] Stokes aid Toray might be able to qualify for tax credits under the state's provisions for manufacturing research and development, and another for job creation. He said officials from the Quonset Development Corporation have also been involved in the discussions about land acquisition.It's no way to do business.
"Companies are making their decisions based on costs," Stokes said. "It's not lifestyle. It's not loyalty. It's costs."
Stokes said certain costs –– utilities, health care, land and taxes –– are higher in Rhode Island than in other states. What the EDC is trying to do for Toray, he said, is come up with a package to make Rhode Island cost-competitive....Stokes said that in a perfect economic world...[r]ather than a whole set of incentives and inducements, Rhode Island would be better served by a lower corporate-tax rate, a stable budget and a predictable business climate.
But, said Stokes, we're not living in that perfect world. Stokes said that when it comes to economic development, keeping existing companies, particularly an expanding company, is even more important than luring new ones.
Stokes said the incentives under consideration for Toray are not "deals," but ways of compensating for the higher fixed costs of doing business in Rhode Island.
The amazing part is how all facets of Rhode Island government have pretty much acknowledged that we need to improve the 'business climate' but they have done nothing about it. Instead we prioritize social and public union agendas then complain about business doing what's best for business when they take advantage of LEGAL tax breaks and better business climates elsewhere. In the end we resolve it through tax and spend policies. It's analogous to standing there taking punches in the face all the while saying, "I really should put my hands up."Posted by: Max Diesel at July 6, 2011 11:39 AM
Think about this for a second:
- Deal with wind generated power company driving electric prices up, upheld by a court ruling
- Proposed 1% tax on manufacturing equipment (thankfully shot down).
- ever rising property and inventory taxes
- fees, fees, fees.
- State ranked 50th for business climate.
Unless Toray gets some seriously sweet deals, they'd be crazy to expand here.
I think they see the writing on the wall, they've been here 20+ yrs, they know the drill.
What do YOU think? Like I said, they'll get some behind-the-scenes sweetheart deal to stay, otherwise they expand in VA, that's what I think.
Instead of making the overall business climate better, we end up making deals with individual companies to stay, it's stupid. That's why you don't see companies clamoring to come here, we may make deals to keep the ones we have, but we're not attracting any new business.Posted by: stuckhereinri at July 6, 2011 12:37 PM
"but we're not attracting any new business."
Or if we do, our Governor wants to retract the deals they get and basically sue board members.
""[Chafee's] position all along was that this was a bad deal (38Studios) for the Rhode Island taxpayer."
"I (Chafee) am asking you to convene a special meeting of the RIEDC Board at which time this matter can be reconsidered"
And instead of praising Gordon Fox for his "leadership" why don't people like Joe Trillo work with Gordon Fox to come up with a whole statewide tax program overhaul. Something that makes sense for the entire state but can help to turn us around financially.
Unless they're ok with RI being a "bedroom community" and having people instead of business pay the tab.Posted by: Patrick at July 6, 2011 1:42 PM
"Unless they're ok with RI being a "bedroom community" and having people instead of business pay the tab."
More like they're OK with us being a bathroom community swirling down the bowl.
The entire progressive political action plan is the more people they can keep in poverty, the more votes they'll get.
Let's consider our position. In terms of states, Rhode Island is a neighborhood. The Blackstone River is probably the chief reason that early industry came here.
We cannot compete on a "broad base". What we need to do is what was done in the past, find a niche. In the past this was textiles, silver, machine tools. Most, if not all, of this has moved to the Far East.
What to do next? Well, I'm not sure. I am fairly certain that casinos and tourism are not the answers. These do not create "good jobs".
I think we have to select an industry where we can offer an advantage, and then aim for it. A "tax break" is an implicit admission that taxes are too high. I don't think low taxes are the answer, but they are at least helpful.
I suggest that Quonset should be a "port". Combine that with Route 95 and the rail service, then we might get somewhere.Posted by: Warrington Faust at July 6, 2011 2:14 PM
"And instead of praising Gordon Fox for his "leadership" why don't people like Joe Trillo work with Gordon Fox to come up with a whole statewide tax program overhaul."
While the result of the arbitration bill was favorable, Fox should not be praised for the autocratic manner in which he killed the bill. That's not leadership and Trillo should just be thankful and move.
I agree with the tax overhaul but I wouldn't hold my breath.Posted by: Max Diesel at July 6, 2011 2:41 PM
I agree with Warrington. Find a niche and promote it. Shipbuilding? Do the Steinbrenners still have a company in Cleveland doing that? That's a long way to go to get boats. How about building cruise ships and many of the related/needed parts? Think of everything that's needed in a cruise ship. Also build other types of boats.
Then again, that's a business that really gets wacked in a recession. Plus that's a business that the unions would sink their teeth into pretty deep and devour the host.
How about a new silicon valley?

Bingo! Cost-reductions for manufacturing and importing, and first-pick of retail goods. We could be the what T.F. Green is to Logan, but for Port Elizabeth in Jersey: Smaller, cheaper, faster, and less hassle.
This idea of turning it into a business park is boneheaded. I think Ken Block noted that their 'job density' is currently 8 jobs per acre in the park... Dismal and a waste of prime special-purpose real-estate.Posted by: mangeek at July 6, 2011 4:25 PM
"- Deal with wind generated power company driving electric prices up, upheld by a court ruling
- Proposed 1% tax on manufacturing equipment (thankfully shot down).
- ever rising property and inventory taxes
- fees, fees, fees.
- State ranked 50th for business climate."
Yeah, but we make a MEAN vegan brunch!
Really, I think there's a little bit of truth to this thing with the artists and the techies in the city... For every 100 hipsters who came here looking for the 'bluest' state to work in coffee shops and have lots of tattoos, we attract a handful of talented designers and digital plumbers. If the fire inspections and regulatory nit-picking weren't so tough, they'd probably be spawning-off lots more small businesses. Getting started here is much harder than elsewhere.Posted by: mangeek at July 6, 2011 4:38 PM
Hi mangeek, the bastards beat me, I paid the inspectors for my four gallon water heater. Beat the alternative, a five-hundred dollar fine!Posted by: michael at July 6, 2011 5:48 PM
Look on the bright side, Michael. According to Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, 50% of your bogus water heater fee will be used to pay the pensions and benefits of your public union brothers. Let's see some solidarity.Posted by: Dan at July 6, 2011 6:40 PM
Virginia is #1 for business, has #1 ranked public university- Univ. of Va. and has no collective bargaining for gov't workers.
Bob - You left out that the weather's much nicer here too. Come on down, there's plenty of room and jobs for everyone in Virginia. Low taxes AND much better public services - let the progressives try to explain that one away.Posted by: Dan at July 6, 2011 7:11 PM
One-off, special deals to "offset the higher fixed costs of doing business in Rhode Island" - what could be a better description of the problem?
It is much like the Obamacare waivers. Let's set up an impossible system and allow our allies and contributors (and possible bribe-payers, at least in RI) to get special exceptions. Everyone else is screwed.Posted by: BobN at July 6, 2011 7:19 PM

I am constantly reading. I somehow feel like I have even more time for it now that I'm in college…mostly because I make time for it. Whether it's five minutes before I'm off to class, or even a few snatched hours with a cup of coffee and a candle warmer on the weekends, I always seem to find a minute to fit in the new favorite book. One of the reasons I'm looking forward to summer is continuing my ever growing reading list. I am looking forward to applying for a Rhodes Scholarship in the next two years, and with that comes a pretty dramatic British literature reading list. So needless to say, this summer will be spent soaking in some English gardens and countrysides. Here are some of the British history books I'm crushing on that aren't on any approved reading list, but will be filling up my bedside table nonetheless.
Below Stairs, by Margaret Powell
This is the book that inspired both Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey! I've been reading bits and pieces every time I'm at Barnes and Noble, and I'm obsessed. It's filled with delicious little tidbits about the lives of servants and the gentry in British manors at the turn of the century. Both moving and hilarious (Margaret has quite the dry sense of humour), you'll devour it in a few days. And then go flip on netflix for a little time with the Crawleys.
Wolf Hall, by Hilary Mantel
I am obsessed with this book. I read it at the start of the year…and lost my copy. Sigh. But I love it so much that I believe I will be buying it again on my Nook. It is just that good. The book follows the life of Thomas Cromwell, a lowly peasant raised up to the nobility during the time of King Henry the Eighth. Mantel follows his thorny path, twisting from regime to regime while trying to keep his head on his shoulders–literally. This is an inspiring book for writers; I've never read anything quite like it!
Notes from a Small Island, Bill Bryson
I had been meaning to read this book for ages, and finally got around to it this year. Bill Bryson is one of the funniest authors you will ever have the pleasure to read, and this book is both charming and realistic. It goes past our view of Hogwarts and Beatrix Potter England into the realities of industrialization and commercialization, but still leaves you wanting to hop on the next flight to Heathrow. A great ride through the British countryside for those of us stuck on a North American couch.

Another stop in the Big Apple is the Paley Museum. Here I watched selected episodes of The Defenders.
The Defenders was a legal series which ran from 1961 to 1965. It featured a father and son law firm that tackled many controversial issues, now discussed openly but then almost taboo. Lawrence Preston, played by E. G. Marshall, was the sharp veteran litigator. His son Kenneth Preston, played by Robert Reed, was a lawyer with only a few years experience. This younger man was intelligent with an iron commitment to the bar. Nevertheless, he had much to learn from his father and often got disillusioned with the law's inability to correct at least reduce the social problems in our country.
As you can infer, this was not a mystery in the Perry Mason style. Among the issues covered were euthanasia, capital punishment, the definition of insanity, blacklisting , and pacifism. These lawyers were quite human. They made mistakes, lost cases, and could leave a bad situation unchanged. Often their clients were unsavory leaving the Prestons to defend people they did not like or knew were guilty. Lawrence Preston often said he defended the accused not the innocent or guilty. What struck me about Lawrence Preston was his compassion and social concern but with a deep respect for the law. The Defenders opened and finished with a sharp musical score and a picture of New York City Hall.
The pilot episode of the Defenders was on the 1957 Westinghouse Studio One starring Ralph Bellamy and William Shatner. Many notable performers appeared in the TV series such Frank Overton, Ruth Roman, Robert Redford, Viveca Lindfors, and Milton Berle.
There were 133 total episodes of The Defenders and 35 are available on the internet . If memory serves, all but three of the remaining 99 three were very good. There were high royalties for the series and they are in a film vaults at CBS Headquarters in Manhattan. There allot of old TV available series from various sources. Some, especially the comedies, were not worth watching the first time. The Defenders was a great groundbreaking series that made us think about different elements in our country . If enough people write to CBS, release could happen.

Forgotten Little Philli
Poor Philli! We spoiled her so rotten that it has been a bit traumatic for her to share us with another baby. The first few days home with Jace she would just sit in the corner of the room and watch us from a distance. She is starting to adjust now, although you can still tell she is jealous and hurting for attention. Hopefully, when Jace gets older, he will give her all the attention she wants and more!
Posted by Nate and Roberta at 5:50 PM 2 comments:
The Chin!
If anyone is wondering where Jace got his clef chin from... Here it is! Grandpa Stevens was shot in the chin by an Indian when he was a young boy. The arrow pierced him so deeply that the mark has now shown up on his posterity! (Actually, Jace had it coming to him from both sides of the family. There is no way the kid could have avoided it. Not that he would have wanted to. We think it is cute! Grandpa Stevens says it is a heck of a hard thing to shave though!)
Posted by Nate and Roberta at 5:37 PM 1 comment:
3 weeks
Wow! Three weeks old! It is crazy how fast the time has gone by and CRAZY how fast this kiddo is growing. Each day we notice new growth and changes. Jace still sleeps most of the time but he is so much fun. Nate and I spend hours just staring at him! We love our little guy!

One Week Old
It is hard to believe that Jace is already one week old. He is one sleepy little guy. Our first few days with him we could hardly get him to wake up to eat. Of course that is different now. Now he just wants to eat all of the time and take cat naps between feedings. He is so much fun though and we love him to pieces!

The Adventurers went back up to the City today to pick up L's ring and took the occasion to lunch at landmark San Francisco restaurant, Tadich Grill. L's pretty sure she lunched there as a little girl as her father's office was close by and she went a couple of times during her years working for Transamerica. D had never been there, although he'd heard about it and always wanted to eat there.
Tadich Grill is not only San Francisco's, but also California's, oldest restaurant. It's a seafood restaurant best known for its cioppino, which is what L ordered. It was delicious behind belief. And D pronounced his Chilean Sea Bass they best he'd ever tasted.
After lunch, they took the long way back to the train station, walking alone the Embarcadero. A lovely way to spend a day in the City…

The past three days I've been on a foodie roll. My wallet curses me, my belly is giving me the *side eye* and my tongue has been saying "Thank you, Sweet Jesus!"
The adventure started Thursday afternoon when I dined on an amazing salad from SweetGreen. I love this restaurant's concept and you should check them out when you get a chance. I devoured the Chic P salad within minutes. A vegan salad with Falafel, chick peas, veggies, and a lemon hummus tahini dressing.

Later, I was strolling through the Georgetown area looking for a place to dine when I came across Paolo's. I was attracted to their happy hour menu. $3 cocktails with awesome titles like Sir Kir Royal, Buttery Nip.ple, Toasted Almond, and Blue Hawaiian to name a few. For $3 I got a good buzz. Gold star for the bartender not watering down my likka.
I ordered a second Nip.ple and asked the bartender for some chocolate syrup. The cocktail was 10x better with chocolate. Seriously, everything taste better with chocolate.
Do I need an intervention?
For apps, there was several mouth-watering options such as fried mozzarella, prosciutto & arugula, and shrimp scampi. My dining companion and I settled for the Paolo's pizza with pesto and sweet red peppers. This was divine! I used my crust to soak up the remaining olive oil.
I will def be going back.
Afterwards, we ventured across the street to Neyla for some fabulous Mediterranean cuisine. A beautiful, cozy, intimate restaurant. Upon being seated, the waiter presented us some some baked pita bread with yogurt and olive oil to get us started. The pita was loaded with spices and was baked to a perfect crunch.
Having already loaded up on half a pizza, I knew I wanted to just have a light dinner. Their Falafel filled the bill! I've been on a Falafel roll lately. Pun intended? It came with a spicy sauce which was a great compliment.
My dining companion was a bit more hungrier and settled on a chicken entree with Jasmine rice. I didn't taste the chicken cuz I was in a "vegetarian mood" but the rice was off.the.chain. It was spiced with something that I couldn't quite put my tongue on. Cinnamon, perhaps? Nutmeg? Whatever it was, it was goood!
Neyla gets a *side eye* from me though. What public business protects their tweets!? Seriously!? I just can't.
The next day, DC gave us beautiful weather. A perfect blue sky day, with a crisp breeze for strolling. I strolled on over to Teaism to warm up. I was surprised to learn that Racheal Ray featured this cute place on her $40 a day show. Is that show still airing? I haven't seen it in a while.
I was attracted to the lavender peppermint flavored tea and ordered a hot cup to enjoy. Sadly, this brew was a letdown. The lavender did not come thru at all.
After more strolling around DC, I was ready for some chocolate! A friend was in town to celebrate another birthday and I promised Coco Sala. I'm so thankful my friend enjoys chocolate as much as I do! Having already been there once, I knew exactly what I wanted. I ordered the Chiptole Coco, hot chocolate spiced with hot peppers and fresh marshmallow, with a Coco Cupcake. This cupcake is the bomb.com! Chocolate, with chocolate frosting, with chocolate candy, and chocolate balls. Yummy. yummy. yummy. So good, I ordered two of them thangs!! Real talk.
I was comatose after that. I came home to a wonderful apartment smelling of cinnamon and cider. Turns out my roommate had spiked cider with rum, cinnamon sticks, and orange slices brewing on the stove.
Saturday, Lisa Pizzeria had a groupon for Cooper Canyon and we were long overdue for a margarita date. What I love about CC is their signature margarita. They serve a generous portion – – as in a whole shaker – – with olive and limes.
Yes. A good buzz indeed. To accompany our margarita, we shared Fiesta egg rolls and pulled BBQ Chicken sandwhich. Both were good. I was so into my dinner convo and meal that I forgot to snap a picture.
Today… the adventure continues. We're soon heading downtown to check out the DC Metropolitan Cooking and Entertainment Show.
… be back later!

I like Vista too. I'm running Vista 64-bit and it works fine for me, but only because my laptop is sufficiently powerful to run it. For this reason I wouldn't necessarily recommended it on a system I didn't believe could use it satisfactorily. My mum's laptop is a cheap Acer which came with 512 MB and Vista Basic pre-installed. Her needs are very simple, just web browsing and email, but due to the specs it delivered crap performance, so I blew Vista away and replaced it with XP, and it was much nicer.
Unfortunately I think Vista got a bad rap, and it's hard sometimes to separate the genuine complaints from the irrational bashing we see so often.
Ultimately, Vista isn't really that exciting. It's good but not great, and not worth a reason for upgrading really. To be honest I was kinda hoping Linux would break out somewhat due to people's dislike for Vista, but evidently that hasn't happened yet.

Good 7.8 From 108 reviews
Atmospheric and warm and friendly. The staff were so helpful. Breakfast was ideal.
Return visit as the location of the hotel is ideal. Easy access to The Creek and abras, the metro to/from airport and further down to shopping areas and great area to just wander.
Stayed three nights. The breakfast was good, ample. Mattress was thick but hard so not good for bad backs. Room was very dark and lighting not bright enough, especially for reading. Guest house was in the old style, Arabian but ensuite was more modern, good size, but with shower over bath. Stairs to our bedroom were quite steep without a hand rail for safety or support. The most important thing was that it was a NON SMOKING GUEST HOUSE, quite rare in Dubai I think. On the whole a great place to stay, very convenient but not easy to locate. Even the taxi driver had trouble finding it! It's actually directly opposite (but a distance) from the cruise terminal.
An easy spot for a break in travel in Dubai. Clean and interesting with a true middle eastern feel. The hotel does a free hotel pick up and the train is close making it very easy to return to the airport. I did not find the location particularly comfortable as a single woman to find somewhere to eat in walking distance in the evening.
I chose this room for the ambience and the location to the historic district. It is walking distance from the gold souk, spice souk, arabian perfume souk, and close to the abra boat rides that cross the Dubai Creek to get to the fabric stores and the local Museum (a must see!). The hotel staff went beyond their way to make our one night stay (we were a family of 4 with 2 kids) comfortable. We came in early and were able to store the carry on luggage, were offered early check-in options by noon, received filtered water to take to our scheduled tour of the city, and were provided with local tips to navigate the city! We were also able to choose out room from two rooms that met our reservation criteria. During checkout, we needed an early checkout so we would have missed our breakfast, but the staff was very accommodating and prepared our included breakfast and sent it to our room by 5:30 AM before his shift ended. This permitted us to leave on time to catch our flight with a full stomach! :) I am so grateful for this additional service. The room was unique: decorated with lanterns and paintings. Also, the bed was very large. All furniture had an antique look which helped us gain a unique experience. The only slight discomfort was the smell in the general area and the heat in the lobby area. I wish they had kept the lobby cooler. Again when it's 45 degrees Celcius outside, it's difficult to keep a large area cool.
