Shipping & policies
Estimated Shipping
My shipping defaults are set at USPS First Class or Priority International mail. If a shipping upgrade is desired, please contact me prior to buying. If the combined shipping cost qualifies, I automatically upgrade to Priority/Express Mail. If you want it bad enough, I'll try my best to get it to you. I combine shipping for multiple items, and will do so between this and my other stores, "embellishedlife" and "eldupholstery".
Please understand that shipping charges include actual postal charges, plus a small addition for shipping supplies (mailers and baggies) Significant overage above this total cost is promptly refunded.
NOTE : I only ship Priority International to Italy, Brazil and Mexico. Most other international countries ship First Class International. Contact me for a more precise shipping quote.
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Custom charges are the responsibility of international buyers. Please be aware of these charges, thresholds and what is allowed in your country before ordering.
UK BUYERS: purchases over £15 can incur VAT of 20% + £8 handling fee from Royal Mail.
International delivery can take anywhere from a week to a month or more, depending on where you are located. Upgraded/expedited shipping with tracking is available and must be paid upfront. Please contact me for details.
I DO NOT LABEL PURCHASES AS A GIFT (unless it is!) It's illegal and can get me a fine of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment. I'd rather spend that on fabric, trim, twinkling goodies (!), and if I'm locked up you can't get any pretties either, so let's not go there.
I usually ship within 24 - 48 hours of your payment , sometimes on the same day.
Your item is placed in a baggie, and then placed in a secure bubble mailer. While neither rain nor sleet nor snow stops US mail for the most part, it will surely play havoc with your package, so I make sure it is safely packaged.
I currently accept credit cards through Paypal (you can pay as a guest of Paypal with no Paypal account) and also through Etsy's Direct Checkout (takes all cc, including the Paypal Debit card). If you're having issues checking out, be sure to let me know.

In general, items with embroidery, sequins, et al should not be machine washed as the agitation will loosen the decorations. Hand-washing, spot-cleaning, steam-cleaning is fine. Dry-cleaning is good too, they will cover the buttons.
SALE OF ITEMS: Items made from my buttons are okay to sell as long as seller does not claim credit for the creation of the button itself.
TUTORIAL: Tutorial is in pdf form and will be sent to the email on record here at Etsy. Please note the tutorial itself (text and images) cannot be copied, transmitted, sold or otherwise reproduced en masse without my permission.
While my buttons are intended for general use, here are some suggestions. If using through button-holes, I would suggest getting a smaller size than the size of the button-hole, as I sometimes pad and layer fabrics and that will take up extra space (for eg if your button-hole is 2 inches, get 1 7/8 inches)
There are alternates to button-holes. Use a loop that goes around button, or attach my button to top of item, then put a regular button to underside of item, and use that through a button-hole.Snaps can also be used in place of a regular button.
I am proud to offer a quality product along with impeccable customer service. I am available always for any kind of questions and/or concerns. Please don't hesitate to contact me, and thanks for visiting!

For many years, Gordon Maycumber worked downtown as a Syracuse firefighter. He was stationed at the old Engine One, which used to be across the street from City Hall. During the heyday of downtown, when Maycumber was often at the station overnight, he had a little tradition he always followed in the holiday season.
He'd open the window in his room, and listen to beautiful Christmas music as it poured from speakers near the top of the Syracuse Savings Bank.
Maycumber, 80, eventually retired as a deputy chief. He assumed the music was gone for good, just another ghost of Christmas past. So he was delighted Saturday to learn the sound system in the bank will again play carols this week, beginning at noon on each day before Christmas.
"A wonderful thing," Maycumber said.
Like the rest of us, he is glad for every downtown success story. In our crumbling economy, a lot of downtown projects have stalled. The magnificent facades of the Mizpah Tower or the old Central High School, empty landmarks once held up as keys to a revival, are reminders of high hopes that have yet to come to be.
Amid that atmosphere, a guy named Wesley Dann made a point of reviving the music at the old savings bank.
"I love old stuff," Dann said. "I love old buildings. And it's exciting to bring something like this back."
Dann is building manager at the savings bank, now used by Bank of America. That Clinton Square landmark is a familiar symbol of downtown. It was designed in 1875 by Joseph Silsbee, a Syracuse architect who would later serve as a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright and Tully native Irving Gill, two of the great architects in American history.
The most prominent feature of Silsbee's eccentric masterpiece is a tower that rises 170 feet above Clinton Square. When the building opened, visitors took turns going up for the view. At some point in the 1900s, the bank installed eight speakers in the windows of the tower. The music came from downstairs, either from a manual organ that still works or from an automated system that played "piano rolls."
When the automated system broke down, in the 1940s or 1950s, the bank replaced it with a similar machine that played tapes. Frederick "Doc" Schwartz, 80, a retired bank vice president, said he was involved for many years with coordinating those musical choices.
"It really meant something, just like the building itself," he said.
Schwartz remembers how the bank would set up hundreds of folding chairs on summer days in Clinton Square. Crowds would show up to listen to music from the tower. He speaks with special passion of the Christmas season, when carols from the bank were the soundtrack for thousands of shoppers.
Choral groups, he said, would often gather in the lobby for Christmas concerts that could be heard throughout downtown.
In those years, Schwartz said, the building was elaborately decorated at the Yuletide. A special plastic covered the windows, making them appear to be stained glass, and they were backlit with powerful spotlights.
No one is quite sure when the music stopped. Old clippings from The Post-Standard recall how bank officials were having trouble with the machinery in the late 1980s. By the mid-1990s, it seems clear, the music was turned off.
That began to change about a year ago, when a new group of owners bought the building. They hired Dann, 50, as their building manager. At one time, he had worked in the Chimes Building, a downtown landmark at South Salina and West Onondaga streets, whose music also went silent long ago. Dann said the system in that building was in tough shape.
He was surprised and thrilled at the good condition of the system in the old savings bank. He began experimenting. He found the tapes that contained Christmas carols. He went to the owners and told them he thought he could get the music to work.
They told Dann to go ahead. He got the job done fast.
The crowd at last month's tree lighting was treated to some carols, and you'll get a chance this week to hear some more. In coordination with the Downtown Committee, on the remaining days before Christmas, Dann will play a tape containing many Christmas classics. Those songs, at lunchtime, will echo throughout downtown.
Dann is passionate about fine architecture and memorable design. He'd love to see the exterior of the bank, and other landmarks around it, illuminated at Christmas. He'd love to see the sound system repaired in the Chimes Building, so beautiful music could be a backdrop throughout the year on both ends of downtown.
The problem, as with anything, is money. Just cleaning and updating the musical system in the bank would involve significant cost. Yet the best argument for the investment may be the reaction of the folks who listen for the music on the street.
"It means a lot to a lot of people," Dann said. "These are hard times with the economy. You just see it in people's faces. What this (music) does when you turn it on, it brings hope."
Sean Kirst is a columnist with The Post-Standard. If you have memories of that musical system, or the music once played by the Chimes Building at the other end of downtown, share those tales with Kirst by e-mailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com or sending him a message on Twitter.

Brown shifts campaign; polls turbulent
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown emphasised Labour's pledge for political reform today, in a move to establish common ground with the Liberal Democrats, as polls pointed to no conclusive winner on May 6.world Updated: Apr 21, 2010 08:16 IST
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown emphasised Labour's pledge for political reform on Wednesday, in a move to establish common ground with the Liberal Democrats, as polls pointed to no conclusive winner on May 6.
The Liberal Democrats, Britain's traditional third party, have enjoyed a dramatic surge in popularity over the last week that has left Labour and the Conservatives scrambling for a way to break the deadlock ahead of the May elections.
Brown, who has seen his party pushed into third place, sought to cast Labour as agents for "new politics", highlighting his party's pledge to hold a referendum on voting reform.
"If you want a referendum on the new politics, you have got to consider voting Labour. We are the only party committed to a referendum on it. You won't get one with the Tories," Brown told the Independent in an interview published on Wednesday.
Labour has said already it would launch a "comprehensive programme of constitutional reform" if elected, promising fixed-term parliaments and a referendum on an alternative vote system for electing members of parliament.
Brown's comments could be seen as an attempt to woo the Liberal Democrats, longstanding champions of electoral reform, who will hold the balance of power if no single party wins an outright majority.
But the Liberal Democrats' leader Nick Clegg appeared to dampen hopes of a "Lib-Lab" alliance telling the Daily Telegraph Labour had failed to deliver reform over the last 13 years and could not be trusted to do so in the next parliament.
"Brown systematically blocked, and personally blocked, political reform. I think he is a desperate politician and I just do not believe him." Clegg said.
"And do I think Labour delivered fairness? No. Do I think the Labour Party in its heart has a faith in civil liberties? No. Do I think they've delivered political reform? No. They are clutching at straws," he said.
The Liberal Democrats so far have resisted intense pressure to name which party they would prefer to join in a coalition, saying they would set out four concessions in return for supporting another party.
Clegg, Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron are preparing for the second of three live television debates on Thursday, this time focusing on international issues.

Make an elegant candy – sparkling strawberries
Last updated 7/11/2018 at 11:41am
FALLBROOK – Confections often make a great addition to parties and gatherings. Whether passed around before the main course is served or presented as dessert, sweet delicacies are favorites of many.
Homemade confections can be prepared by hosts who want to go the extra mile for their guests. While it might seem difficult to make such treats, the following recipe for "Elegant Sparkling Strawberries" from Jane Sharrock's "300 Best Homemade Candy Recipes" (Robert Rose) is easy to prepare and sure to please guests.
Elegant Sparkling Strawberries
Makes about 40 strawberries
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 3-ounce package strawberry-flavored gelatin
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 to 2 cups finely chopped walnuts or pecans
40 blanched slivered almonds
2 to 3 drops green food coloring
1/2 cup red decorator sugar, for rolling
1/4 cup green decorator sugar for rolling
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and strawberry gelatin, stirring until well blended. Stir in the coconut and chopped nuts, blending well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the mixture easier to handle.
2. Place the almonds in a small plastic bag. Add the green food coloring to the bag. Seal tightly and shake until the almonds are tinted to resemble green stems. Remove the almonds from the bag and place them on paper towels to dry.
3. Pour the red decorator sugar into a small custard cup. Pour the green decorator sugar into another small custard cup.
4. Shape the milk mixture into small balls about 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter. Pinch one end of the ball between the thumb and index finger until it resembles a strawberry. Roll the bottom two-thirds of the strawberry in red decorator sugar. Dip the top end of the strawberry in green decorator sugar. Place a green almond into the green end of the strawberry to resemble a stem. Place on waxed paper. Repeat until all strawberries are shaped. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, separating each layer with a sheet of waxed paper. These candies may be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.
Cook's note: It is often easier to work with a few strawberries at a time. Dip about 12 shaped strawberries into the red decorator sugar and place them on the waxed paper. When all 12 are coated in red, dip the ends in the green sugar, insert the stems and place them on the waxed paper again. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Bathed Naked, Cheered Until Twelve
Zurich is fertile ground for great literature: many famous writers created important works there and allowed themselves to be inspired either by its liberal cosmopolitanism or its idyllic peace and quiet. Fifty of them were portrayed by the Zurich Tages-Anzeiger in a series of entertaining and informative articles – to pay homage both to literature and the town itself.
In coffeehouses, on park benches, in hotel rooms or on the banks of the river Limmat – in Zurich it is hard to find a spot not occupied, at one time or other, by a famous writer thinking or putting pen to paper. Goethe even had himself rowed to the middle of the lake to compose a poem (Klopstock was content to praise its glistening surface from the shore) – and noted later in his diary that he had felt "as happy as a pig". Georg Büchner wrote Woyzeck in a house on Spiegelgasse, while on the other side of the Limmat, Gottfried Keller created Martin Salander. Robert Musil worked on The Man Without Qualities, James Joyce on Finnegans Wake, Thomas Mann on Felix Krull. They were all here, some temporarily, some for half a lifetime: Kurt Tucholsky, Johanna Spyri, Elias Canetti, Robert Walser, Max Frisch… Written by literary critics and experts, these portraits give informative insights into the creative processes of world-famous wordsmiths while at the same time conveying the flavour of a very special town.

Zoe Saldana follows a not-so-secret Hollywood regimen to stay thin: just don't eat lunch!
The svelte Latina actress joked in a comedic scene from an episode of IFC's "Comedy Bang! Bang!," which according to E News airs Aug. 9, that all she does is "snack" and never eats real meals.
When asked what she had for lunch, Saldaña admitted, "I haven't had lunch yet…it's very Hollywood, I know…It's not the only meal you can skip in one day."
While Saldana was poking fun at the unruly methods some of her industry peers take to stay thin, she was surprised back in June when her weight caused controversy.
Saldana said she didn't understand why Allure magazine was receiving backlash for putting her weight on the cover of their June issue.
"It almost felt like you were just looking for a reason to just be upset at the fact that I allowed myself to be very free and collaborating with a magazine that is known for collaborating with the subjects," Saldana said.
As Saldana put it, the "115 pounds of grit and heartache" tagline was just an attempt to contrast her big personality with her slender frame.
"I come really hard, I'm a very aggressive person when you meet me because I am a devout New Yorker and I'm Latina so this is my personality," Saldana said.
"It's not the first time that people have said, for such a delicate-looking person, you're very tough. And I think that was the idea that they wanted to get across as a compliment to what they saw in me."

Lily and Lionel is about family. The brand is named after Creative Director Alice Stone's grandparents, the ones who established her family's history of working in the textile industry. Lily was a dressmaker, with a strong talent for designing and creating all of her own clothes; Lionel supplied apparel to some of London's most glamorous boutiques and stores. After graduating from the London College of Fashion, Alice set about making her own mark on the textiles industry with a line of iconic printed scarves.
Each and every print that you see on our scarves tells a story and has been hand-picked because it resonates with us in some way. Perhaps it was inspired by our favourite painting, a photo we took on holiday, a vintage print found in a market. By combining that with the very best textiles, from the moment you wrap yourself up in your Lily and Lionel scarf you are enveloped in comfort and meaning. Light weight and soft in texture, Lily and Lionel scarves bring the feel-good factor to life.
We aim to create a keepsake rather than a simple accessory, so we're constantly looking for new ways to capture the beauty we see around us and evoke an emotion with every piece. For us, it's all about The Big Reveal. As you unfold your scarf, the colours will expand to reveal a complete story, whether it's one of our signature city prints or an intricate pattern.
As well as being awarded Walpole's British Luxury Brand of Tomorrow 2012, we're proud to say we have fans in Elle Macpherson, Edie Campbell, Thandie Newton and Kate Winslet.
As we approach Lily and Lionel's fifth year, we are present in over 150 locations around the world, including Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Liberty, Henri Bendel and Le Bon Marche.

The Hungarian Academy of Sciences is under critical fire. Old men are flaunting undeserved privileges and are refusing to hand over the helm to the country's younger real scientific elite. Literary academic György C. Kalman sides with the criticism. "There are subtle methods, for example labels like 'emeritus' or 'honorary member' to ease burnt out, no-longer effective or plain lazy scientists from important positions. But there are also members of the Academy who were never any good because they joined for political reasons. The Academy missed the opportunity to settle accounts with them in 1989. At that time it was more important that nobody felt persecuted. And now fifteen years have passed with no resignations. It is high time to start reconsidering the fate of the Academy members."
Almost all the bishops of the Reformed Church were secret police informers, writes the newspaper Mozgo Vilag. The article is unfortunately not online, but it did launch a debate. The publicist Norbert Izsak is surprised that the Church is still "unsure about how to judge the former secret police informers among its ranks: Should they be honoured or condemned for the compromises they made? ... And church-goers are at a loss as to what constitutes acceptable behaviour in the days before 1989. For some of them, the bishops of the time are heroes, because they had brilliant ecclesiastical careers which involved 'putting up with a lot'. Others accuse them of having made unprincipled compromises."

R. K. Mishra documents the case of the actor Aamir Khan, whose latest film "Fanaa" the local official of North-West Indian Gujarat as well as film distributors and cinema owners are refusing to screen, after the actor expressed criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party. In an interview Khan seemed unperturbed: "I had said that people killed in Godhra and its aftermath were not Hindus or Muslims for me. They were Indians, and whoever was responsible for the carnage was anti-Indian and anti-national. If that was the reason for this (ban), so be it.... The issue here is of the concept of democracy. If the people of Gujarat are annoyed with me, they have the choice not to go to the theatre, not to see my film, not to support me. But it's wrong for any organisation to use its might to force them into it."
Merkur, 01.06.2006 (Germany)
The philosopher Christoph Türcke defends blasphemy against its angry critics, even if he himself sees the Muhammad cartoons as a victorious western sneer "more imperial than subversive". "There is no doubt blasphemy is not on a par with enlightenment. But enlightenment sometimes looks like the spitting image of blasphemy. Ridicule bores, when it touches the black, deeper than any other form of criticism. Where lengthy processes of presenting proof often fail, sometimes a single joke, a satire, a cartoon can expose the vanity, the pomposity, the arrogance of ruling authorities. Ridicule is cynical, where it makes the sad risible. It is elucidating wherever it instantly brings out what is risible, distorting if necessary to the point of recognition. Criticism without ridicule is toothless, cannot get a proper hold, is not meant earnestly. Which is why religious criticism in the spirit of enlightenment could do nothing else, if it was serious in its intent, than every now and then to insult the religious authorities and the feelings they foster. Sporadic ridicule is part of the impetus of the attack."
Le Nouvel Observateur, 29.05.2006 (France)
To mark the publication of a new book by essayist Stephane Zagdanski ("De l'antisemitisme", Climats), the Nouvel Obs publishes a discussion between the author and lawyer Theo Klein, a leading member of the Jewish resistance during World War II. For Zagdanski, anti-Semitism is common to all epochs and civilisations: "Take a very recent example, the murder of the young Jew Ilan Halimi in Paris by a suburban gang. Their motive was that Jews allegedly have a lot of money, and always stick together. For me there's not the slightest difference between that and the statement in Marx's book "On the Jewish Question," that money is the jealous god of the Jews. Even if the murderer Youssouf Fofana never read Marx, he has the same deluded reasoning under the surface." Klein answers by recommending calm self-assurance. "For me, a Jew who defines himself purely in terms of the Shoah, which he didn't experience, and Israel, where he doesn't live, fails to grasp the essence of the Jewish identity. And it's these people who are the most sensitive. If Jewishness is truly something spiritual for someone, then he won't get all worked up at every anti-Semitic idiocy."
Il Foglio, 27.05.2006 (Italy)
Amy Rosenthal has met ninety-year-old Orientalist Bernhard Lewis, who sets things straight on what should have been done in Iraq: "The very first thing should have been to build up an Iraqi authority capable of assuming power. The invasion of Iraq wouldn't have been necessary at all. In the 90s there was the so-called 'Free Zone' in the north. Around one fifth of the country, and the population, no longer belonged to Saddam Hussein, but were controlled by Kurdish leaders and the national congress. Something could have been done then, but nothing happened, and a fantastic opportunity was wasted. After the invasion, this resistance completely collapsed."
Marie Antoinette was the victim of a media campaign, writes Siegmund Ginzberg. It all started with jealous court gossip which "spawned increasing numbers of pamphlets and caricatures". The fact that the young king had been unable to consummate his marriage for seven years became the source of speculation and vituperation. Wild rumours proliferated on all kinds of intimate details. If the husband has a problem, it's only logical that the young and brilliant wife should look around for sexual alternatives. It was imputed she had whole cohorts of lovers, both male and female. People said her children, the designated heirs to the throne, must have been fathered by someone else (the chief suspect being Louis XVIth's younger brother)." Public antipathy reached its peak right after her beheading, writes Ginzberg, when a revolutionary pamphlet wrote: "The tart Marie Antoinette got the death she deserved, like a sow in the slaughterhouse."
The Economist, 26.05.2006 (UK)
A year after the French and Dutch rejected the European constitution, The Economist doubts that another year's reflection would make any sense, suggesting: "One sensible thing that next month's summit could do is to agree to forget the present text. That would enable the summiteers to move on to the more fundamental questions that the constitution was supposed, but failed, to answer: how to restore the EU's purpose (and, just as desirable, its popularity), and what institutional changes this might require."
Elet es Irodalom, 26.05.2006 (Hungary)
Imre Kertesz celebrates a major series of contemporary music concerts in Budapest, which has opened with works by Hungarian composer György Ligeti: "For a long time, this name was just a word for me, shining through the darkness of public interdictions. György Ligeti: the unattainable source of wonderful, secretive tones. For decades his music was banned from concert halls, music schools and radio programmes in Hungary. Posterity will certainly ask how this country could have been so wasteful with its talent." The concert series is the first major project initiated by the New Hungarian Music Association (UMZE), established in 2005 by György Kurtag, Peter Eötvös, Andras Szöllösy and others with the aim of making contemporary Hungarian music better known in Hungary.
Peter Esterhazy's overwhelming enthusiasm for football certainly helped the Hungarian literary football team in their match against Germany last weekend in Berlin. The final result was 0:0, but the Hungarians ran circles around the Germans, writes author Laszlo Darvasi, who was himself on the team. "In the second half the Germans could hardly get possession, let alone score a goal, while our team blew one heart-rending chance after the next. We can name several witnesses, all of whom are ready to state that our team really did play better than the German writers, who were on average a good ten years younger." The Hungarian literary football team, by contrast, was composed of men "with vile, obstinate spare tires about their hips, dismal fillings in their teeth and deep wrinkles: the authors of lamenting novels, snivelling features and other sad fiascos."
Die Weltwoche, 25.05.2006 (Switzerland)
Christof Moser travels to Entropia, a virtual universe with 300,000 participants and annual sales figures of a very real 165 million dollars. In a gallery in New Oxford, he meeds the filmmaker Jon Jacobs, who goes by the name Neverdie here, and has just opened a nightclub on an asteroid for 100,000 dollars. "There are about one hundred guests here from all over the world, the opening is well-attended. The art, mostly abstract works of the kind Americans like best, can be bought as virtual objects for between 1,000 and 5,000 PED, but they can also be ordered as real works. As I sit down and start up a discussion over the internal chat system with an artist from Budapest, for whom Entropia is now the most important sales channel, Neverdie promptly buys 40,000 PED (4,000 real dollars) worth of virtual pixel art, which he wants to hang in the VIP lounge of his club. Jacobs sees it as an investment. Like the other virtual objects, pictures can also be traded on the commodity exchange. If the demand for an artist goes up, it pays off to be among his first virtual collectors."
Blueprint Magazine, 17.05, 2006 (USA)
Flemming Rose, the cultural editor of Jyllands-Posten, the Danish daily which published the Muhammed cartoons last September, defends his decision as a stance against what he calls "the politics of victimology", a rhetoric concocted by the European left which he says has been cleverly exploited by Islamic radicals. "Equal treatment is the democratic way to overcome traditional barriers of blood and soil for newcomers. To me, that means treating immigrants just as I would any other Danes. And that's what I felt I was doing in publishing the 12 cartoons of Muhammad last year. Those images in no way exceeded the bounds of taste, satire, and humour to which I would subject any other Dane, whether the queen, the head of the Church, or the prime minister. By treating a Muslim figure the same way I would a Christian or Jewish icon, I was sending an important message: You are not strangers, you are here to stay, and we accept you as an integrated part of our life. And we will satirize you, too. It was an act of inclusion, not exclusion; an act of respect and recognition."

I apologize for being absent for so long. Life got very busy for me. For the most part, things have been good but of course, like everyone else, there were some not great times too! But enough about that.
If you remember a previous blog post that I had written some time ago.....I love bears! Seriously! And I don't mean the Chicago Bears either. I love bears! It has been my dream to see one in the wild.
This past June, I had taken a trip to Wisconsin and while we were driving on the highway, a big beautiful black bear came running out of the woods and ran directly in front of us as it crossed the highway. It wasn't running like it was scared or in a hurry. It was just kind of galloping along happily. It was completely oblivious to the cars which still scares me. I have always been aware of deer or other animals running in front of cars but never a bear. I was so surprised, I just watched it run by and THEN it occurred to me what I had just seen. Of course, what was the first thing I did???? Post it on Facebook and Twitter. Not a picture because it was too fast to get one. Just my pure excitement at what I had just witnessed! It was so cool!!!! Definitely a high point!
In keeping with my Bear theme, I wanted to write about something else that I have enjoyed over the past couple of weeks. If I haven't mentioned it before, I love movies and particularly Blu Rays. I recently saw that a new blu ray was being released by National Geographic called "Bears of the Last Frontier". Naturally, I decided to order it from Amazon. It is FANTASTIC! It takes place in Alaska and the photography is spectacular! Grizzly Bears, Black Bears and Polar Bears are seen in the wild playing, eating, and living their lives. They head to several locations in Alaska and the Arctic and believe me......there are locations that I have never seen before. The beauty is breathtaking and now I would love to visit Alaska! There is even a section that shows (using time-lapse photography) how the ocean freezes over in the arctic. So by now you've gotten the idea that I love this blu ray right?! The host is so great too and not just someone reading their lines either. His name is Chris Morgan and you can hear the sheer delight in his voice with so many of the cool discoveries. So if you get a chance, check it out. If you like bears, you'll love it but even if not, the beauty of Alaska (all parts of it) is worth it on it's own.
Now, one thing that I haven't mentioned is that throughout this blu ray, there are many mother bears and their cubs. Many of the scenes are momma bears playing with their cubs or teaching them some skill. It's so cute to see the cuddling of the cubs with their moms. The momma bears are known to do anything to protect their babies too. They are spectacular moms and their cubs are loved and protected completely. Black Bears, Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears. They are all the same. Motherhood at it's best.
This got me thinking about human mothers. Isn't it sad that so many human mothers are missing the love and mothering skills that are present in bears? Maybe you have been blessed to have a good mom like that. Or maybe you haven't. These bear moms represent the best in motherhood. They guard their cubs, they teach them how to live successful lives, they hug them, they play with them, they feed them and so much more. I couldn't help but think how different many of our lives would be if we all had moms that were that loving.
If you had the misfortune of having a mother that wasn't very good, you already know the loss that it presents in your life. I know many people that weren't blessed with a good mom and have gone on to live great lives. There is hope. It's pretty simple even. It sounds silly but actually, you can be your own mom. You can give yourself the love that you didn't get from your mother. Why is it that we always want to blame ourselves for this. Like somehow it's our fault that they don't love us? Of course we know in our heads that we couldn't have done anything to cause this but our hearts are a different matter. There's always that little voice that says maybe there's something wrong with us. Maybe somehow we really don't deserve their love.
Well let's get rid of that kind of thinking right now. We all deserve to be loved. And for whatever reason, we were given mothers that weren't going to give us the love that we need. Maybe we are somehow stronger and God knew that the children that would be born to these mothers would need to be very strong to survive.
Most of the people that I've know with mothers like this are pretty amazing people in their own right. This loss has somehow made them better people with more compassion and understanding than most. They are also very loving people. So maybe we should just embrace this loss and turn around and give the love that we have been blessed with to other people that are struggling. There are so many out there. Wouldn't we have loved to have someone take us under their wing when we were struggling with the hurts that our mothers caused? Let's be those people. Let's use the wisdom that we've gained and make a difference for others. I have a feeling that it won't take long and that emptiness that we were feeling will disappear.
One other thing that I noticed about the bear moms in my blu ray was that they had the sense to know when to feed and take care of themselves. They could give all of their food to their cubs but, they keep some for themselves. How strong would they be if they needed to defend their cubs without having eaten and rested? They take care of themselves as a priority so that they are ready for all of their responsibilities as moms. And... so that they can happily give the love and play to their cubs.
So wise!
This falls into the same category as putting the oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on your child when you're in an airplane. How can you take care of your child if you've passed out from putting yours on last? How can you be strong enough to be a good parent if you've given everything away and kept nothing to feed yourself? If you're not getting enough sleep or time for yourself, it will take it's toll on you eventually. If you're a mom or a dad, do you remember to do this? It's so easy to forget. Follow the bear moms and take care of yourself too.
Thanks so much for reading and remember to check out "National Geographic Bears of the Last Frontier"

Otronicon is back and again filling Orlando Science Center with all manner of technology. Participants in the four-day event can check out a wide range of marvels, from playing music video game Rock Band onstage to seeing the daVinci robot, which is used in medical settings to perform surgery.
I talked with Jeff Stanford, vice president of communications, about what's new and what's returning to Otronicon, which begins Friday. Here are just a handful of the features I would like to explore.

Reconstruction. It's such a loaded word, isn't it? It rarely signifies the start of something new, of an adventure, of a Good Thing.
It's a fixing word. A time that comes after the breaking, after things have been physically torn apart, minds have been stretched beyond imagining by the devastation, and bodies are hurt.
There are several reconstructions in my life right now, all swirling around and around in my head and heart. None of them are the source of my current pain (OMIGOSH the ovary hurts today; if I don't relax and write, I swear I'm going straight to the ER to have it taken out), but they all linger over me with guilt and procrastination.
My kitchen is in a state of disarray after a recent water leak. The floor is exposed concrete. The cabinets have been hacked into and partially destroyed, with two cabinet doors sitting sadly in my garage, exiled after they got wet in the leak. The dishes are put away in various new places (Like the guest room. Sorry, Mom!), and the china is perched in the laundry room. We've had contractors in and out evaluating the space, raising our hopes, and then giving us estimates (ugh). None of them seem nearly as cool as the one in the book I just finished. Progress is at a standstill. Not exactly what I had hoped for when I scheduled Scrap Night AND Widget's birthday party for our house this week.
My body is kind of messed up too. I have these goofy little blobs of skin left from my mastectomy in January — they're the part that shows under your armpits if you put on a bra that's too tight. I didn't even know I HAD fat there, but apparently I do. They stick out obnoxiously if I put on the wrong style tank top or forgo one during the summer heat. I'd like to take them out (and my PT says it's what's normally done), but it's another surgery. And when I called the plastic surgeon, know what it's called? Reconstruction.
I met with the plastic surgeon recently, and it went well. I was a little goofy about it (the exam room was locked, and the nurse was goofing around about it, being all hush-hush as he tried several keys before one worked, letting us in to "the secret room." I played along, asking, "is this where you keep the boobies?" and actually cracked him up. I like a place where even the nurses laugh.
But I still don't know that I want to have another surgery just to look better.
The other reconstruction — and forgive me if this is a stretch — is the one I grew up with. Newsweek had a feature article the other week about the changing (or not changing) South, and what the author's recent tour through the South seems to tell us about the vote in November. Apparently, Obama is still mistrusted for reasons perpetuated by rumors, rumors that have tenuous basis in fact, such as his religion, his name, and his "foreignness." Which is really ridiculous, I think, because his beginnings seem to have a lot in common with those of many of us in the South.
That's right. Us. Because I too was born and raised in the South — the Deep South, even — Mississippi in fact, and those days are with me still. I opened the Newsweek with trepidation, ready to read yet another northerner's bashing of the land I loved, and came away from it decidedly mixed. I love the South. I love the people, the land, the deep sense of history and tradition. But some things about it were hard. Not just hard, but wrong. And it bothers me that, all these years later, they linger still.
Reconstruction, the time when the South put itself back together after the Civil War, was never really finished, you see. The War of Northern Aggression really tore the land apart, and the scars remain. The scars are on the land (I saw them on the Civil War battlefields we played on as children), in people's minds (a distrust of smooth talkers from the north — which may cause both presidential candidates problems, depending on their choice of running mate), and in their hearts.
Though the land has been put back together, our hearts remember still.
And that's the problem with all three of these terrible situations, summed up with a single word. The trauma can never be fully erased, despite serious attempts and money spent on

SARASOTA — The sixth annual Sarasota Jewish Food Festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at Temple Sinai, 4631 S. Lockwood Ridge Road with far more than satisfying appetites at stake.
Be the Match, a bone marrow registry, will have a booth seeking individuals willing to have their cheeks swabbed in hopes of helping a 14-year-old with acute childhood leukemia.
Roughly 95 percent of the children diagnosed with this disease respond to chemotherapy, but the Temple Sinai teen has not.
"It is critical that a match be found and he has not matched any of the 10 million people already in the registry," Lachowitzer said.
Hundreds are expected to attend for the traditional comfort food, free admission, health fair, arts and crafts and a used book sale.
Start with bagels and a schmear and move right into brisket, corned beef and cabbage rolls, blintzes, knishes or matzoh ball soup. A large selection of delectable baked goods is also available. Eat in or carry out.
All Faiths Food Bank is a community partner and guests are asked to bring a nonperishable item to help the needy.
"The need is great in this community and they work tirelessly to help meet it," said Laurie Lachowitzer, past co-president Temple Sinai.

Google has launched a great Star Wars Easter Egg within its search results. Just type " A long time ago in a galaxy far far away " into the Google Search and you will get the search results, "Star Wars style".
When you activate the Star Wars search, the results will appear to scroll up, similar to the Star Wars opening prolog you see in the movies. These are actual search results, and in case you want a clear view of the results you can either press the pause button in the top right-hand corner or close down the Star Wars style scrolling altogether.
You can see a video of the action below:
Choose the "light side" or "dark side."
This promotional stunt comes hot on the heels of another Google launched just a few days before. If you visit https://www.google.com/starwars/ you will be able to choose between the "light side" or "dark side":
Once you have chosen a side (we chose the dark side), you will get the option to install various add-ons to make you website experience themed. The only one we installed was the Chrome Addon that gave us some nice wallpaper backgrounds to the chrome browser when it first loads.
In addition to the various themed add-ons etc., you get to influence the "balance of the Force" by your choice. The balance is shown when you scroll down the page once you make your choice. As of the date of this post it is as follows:
And if that doesn't get you excited for Star Wars, then Google has released a promo video with some rather cool footage of the new Star Wars Films:
More Star Wars Themed Easter Eggs to Come
In the blog post announcing the "Awaken the Force Within" campaign to choose either the light or dark side, they indicated that they have many more promotions \ Easter Eggs being rolled out before the opening night:
We've got more coming between now and opening night — the Millennium Falcon in all its (virtual reality) glory included, so stay tuned. And we've hidden a few Easter eggs, too. So awaken the Force within, and be on the lookout for things from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away …
You can see the clever hint at the search for "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" in the announcement post. We can't wait to see what follows.

Deprived of legal protection, animals are defenseless against exploitation and abuse by humans. Through the Animal Bill of Rights, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is working to show Congress a groundswell of support for legislation that protects animals and recognizes that, like all sentient beings, animals are entitled to basic legal rights in our society.
The Right of animals to be free from exploitation, cruelty, neglect, and abuse.
The Right of laboratory animals not to be used in cruel or unnecessary experiments.
The Right of farm animals to an environment that satisfies their basic physical and psychological needs.
The Right of companion animals to a healthy diet, protective shelter, and adequate medical care.
The Right of wildlife to a natural habitat, ecologically sufficient to a normal existence and self-sustaining species population.
The Right of animals to have their interests represented in court and safeguarded by the law of the land.
More than a quarter-million Americans have already signed the Animal Legal Defense Fund's Animal Bill of Rights. Please sign the petition to show your support, and speak out to your lawmakers today!
Op-ed Guidelines
Please bring up points that were missed, elaborate on issues not fleshed out, add ways to make the idea/bill better, suggest a companion for GREATER Raters to consider. Please check your facts, grammar, syntax, punctuation, credit sources and quotes, and keep it under 500 words unless you absolutely cannot—then never more than 700 words. Please keep your criticism constructive. We will likely not print destructive criticism although a well written partisan rant bringing up new issues in the idea/bill or previous Op-eds may be accepted if it ends on a constructive note—especially if it offers an alternative idea/bill.
Shorter "letters" are encouraged that bring a new facet to the subject. The intent of the Op-eds is to fully cover the issue for the kind reader to consider before rating, and not waste their time with redundancy or the dreaded—"people-screaming-at-one-another-while-wearing-earplugs-syndrome." Think of the idea/bill as the base with the Op-eds stacked on top to form a structurally sound argument. The goal here is to have a GREATER US for the greatest number of citizens/neighbors. We may publish your piece without notice—so please only submit completed articles. We may, also, contact you for a rewrite or edit. We might even offer suggestions. It is our intention to fairly present the views of fiscal conservatives, independents, and social liberals—to find the overlap of whole-hearted support (nonpartisan) plus the commonality of the "I-can-live-with-that" (bipartisan).

If you've played any game that's been made within the last two years or so, you've probably already ran into the microtransaction dilemma.
Do you know that small icon telling you to buy more gems or the whacking great alert which tells you to buy the latest DLC pack to get a minor advantage? Well, more and more games seem to be bolting microtransactions as an excuse for selling what should be in the full game as 'additional content'.
It used to be reserved solely for free to play games or social games but the grubby, money-sucking claw of microtransactions is now starting to affect retail games; see the ridiculous prices for cars in Angry Birds Go! or Forza 5.
Nevertheless, there is certainly a right way to do microtransactions. I will now outline the innocent and the guilty of microtransaction wrongdoings:
League of Legends
LoL provides a good example of how the 'free-to-play' mechanic should work by giving the player both options to earn 'champions'; you can either play well through the game, or put your cash down.
Unlike other free-to-play games, just because you can buy champions with real cash, doesn't mean that you will necessarily be better. On the contrary—the majority of the most expensive champions are the hardest to use and Riot even gives you some Riot Points, which act as the premium currency to buy some starting heroes to get you going.
Also, the main thing microtransactions are used for in LoL is to buy skins, which give you no buff to your characters at all, besides a new taunt or dance.
LoL avoids the 'pay to win' trap of most free-to-play games and does not do something as bad as putting up a paywall in order for you to play for longer.
Final verdict: INNOCENT!
Dungeon Keeper and Final Fantasy: All The Bravest
Both of these mobile games act as a constant reminder of how microtransactions can utterly ruin games. Both games are nothing more than money vacuums with some fancy animations on top.
In the case of Dungeon Keeper, the game constantly tells you that you can buy gems to speed up the process of building rooms, which now takes hours; in the original PC game, it would take you seconds. The fun of the original game has been completely stripped away, and replaced with loads of obstacles that require you to wait for hours to clear. All sense of 'gameplay' is done away with.
The same situation is present in All the Bravest. The game not only amounts to tapping on the screen ad nauseum (to the point of nausea), but also has the nerve to let you buy characters in such a randomised way, that it even allows you to exchange a few quid for a character that you may already have.
These two are the lowest of the low in terms of microtransactions. Avoid at all costs.
Final verdict: GUILTY!
This is a new free-to-play shooter that carefully avoids the 'pay-to-win' aspect that other free-to-play shooters have been including. Loadout provides you with weapon modifications — which is what the game is based around — only available through playing rather than by simply purchasing them.
The 'tech trees', which are used to unlock new weapons and modifications, are accessed by gaining XP and, while money can be put down to buy double XP boosts or costumes — which are bloody overpriced, I might add — only play-through can unlock features that make them powerful. On my first go, I thought this game was going to fall into the 'pay-to-win' trap, but luckily it does not. It turns out to be a super fun shooter—when the server decides to work.
Final verdict: INNOCENT!
Angry Birds Go!
Not only does the Angry Birds series have the gall to charge full price for console versions of their game when the mobile versions are only a couple of quid, but when they charge up to £34.99 for a single car, they are taking the proverbial.
What makes it even worse, is that some cars were initially priced at £69.99 in a game targeted at children, causing the possibility of more cases of kids unwittingly spending hundreds of pounds to unlock cars in a worthless Mario Kart copy. Again, this provides yet another example of how microtransactions threaten not only basic game design — as they are structured solely around draining as much money out of you as possible — but seek to screw over the consumer and see them only as conduits for more cash.
Final verdict: GUILTY!
So, my message to game developers everywhere is to be smart about how you use microtransactions. Use them for cosmetic items only and never structure your game solely around them. Treat your consumers with some respect and make some good games, rather than just lining your pockets.

Husband and Wife couple looking for other singles and couples to join their new D&D group. Husband has some experience as a player, but is a new DM, and the wife is completely new. There is no set campaign, just adventures for low levels, until we're more experienced. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. There is no requirement for the players to share in the hosting responsibilities, as the couple prefers to host. Meet ups would happen every 2 weeks (likely on a Saturday @ 11am, but we're flexible so if that's not a good time, don't count yourself out!) with the preference of happening every week. Neither prior experience nor any books are necessary! We have the D&D Player's Handbook, DM Guide, and Monster Manual already and are willing to share until players can acquire their own.
If you have any questions or would like to meet, please feel free to let me know. My e-mail is in my profile or you can message here.

I just wanted to let people who check this know that we have players for our group. Currently we have 3 players, and 1 DM, with the potential of 2 or 3 more players depending on their schedule. However, if someone reads this and is still interested, feel free to contact me. Since we're starting with adventures instead of going straight to a campaign, it'll be easy enough to add new players.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Perhaps you'll keep us in mind when your other games end.Steve wrote:Hope you find more people for your game I would join but I've got to meny games going as it is. Welcome to the forums

Academic Core taking shape
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The foundation for Ohlone's Academic Core Project has been laid down after a rainy couple of months.
There was a "dent in the schedule" during January and February, said Robert Dias, Director of Measure G, but operations are back on course.
Despite unideal weather, the past two weeks have been great for construction. Workers have made "significant progress" over the span, said Dias.
Voters passed the $349 million bond in 2010 and the project began with demolition of Buildings 1, 2 and 8, which were built in the 1970s.
Groundbreaking began last April and since then construction workers have been setting up the footprints for the Academic Core Buildings at the heart of the campus.
Structures for all three main buildings of the project are being built simultaneously.
Depending on logistics and positioning of the crane, each building is coming together with different sequencing.
For example, Building 2 is further along as its skeleton has two floors already in place.
The floors are created by "an erection of steel with safety in mind first," said Dias.
After that, floors are decked and concrete is put over the bases of steel. The process will eventually happen with each structure.
Following this phase, Dias said work will "appear to stop" but they'll be working on other parts, such as the interior of each building.
The complex is set to open in the Spring of 2019.
