After car camping through U.S and Canada, I have gathered a few helpful camping tips and tricks along the way. Finding a great camping spot is not always easy, but knowing what to look for is always a great start!
Step #1: What Kind of Camper are You?
The first step to picking a camping spot is determining what type of campground would suit you best. For example, a first-time camper may have a lot of trouble camping in the backcountry campgrounds where there are no amenities.
- The Newbie: As a first-time camper, you might want to consider developed campsites (one's with plenty of amenities such as hot showers and potable water) and sites that are only a short drive away from town.
- Family Camping: Family campers seem to be the most planned and ready. Look for campsites you can reserve ahead of time and research the ones that have easy hikes and activities close by for the kids.
- Adventure Camper: You are not the type to look for the crowded campgrounds, but are willing to put some sweat into finding the hidden gems. Look for the less-popular primitive sites or if you are willing, load up our backpack and head into the backcountry.
- The Person without a Plan: If you plan more spontaneous trips, avoid trying to book the leftover reservable sites and stick to the first-come, first-served campgrounds.
Step #2: Pick a Location
Where are you wanting to camp? A weekend out in the vast and open landscapes of the desert? Do you want to wake up to the sound of waves? An escape into the mountains? Here are some ideas of where to camp in the U.S and Canada:
Desert Camping:
One of my all-time favorite National Parks is Joshua Tree located in California, USA. It's extremely diverse location is perfect for hiking along incredible landscapes and getting an amazing view of the Milky Way at night.

Some tips for exploring the desert:
- If it is your first time camping in the desert, stay in an established campground!
- Bring tarps and other items to create shade and protect yourself from the harsh rays of the sun.
- Be prepared and bring more water than you think you will need.
- Bring lightweight clothing for the hiking in the day and layers for when the temperatures change when the sun goes down.
Beach Camping:
Campgrounds like Big Sur in California are amazing finds because you get to wake up to the sounds of waves without paying the price of a posh resort. Beach camping offers great ways to enjoy the beautiful coastal views and to have relaxing days laying in the sand.

Some tips for camping at the beach:
- Beach camping is one of the most popular getaways, especially in California, so try to find free dispersed sites or try to reserve a site ahead of time.
- The sun is a harsh enemy of the beach, protect yourself with sunscreen and stay hydrated!
- Try to combat the sand as much as you can, keep shoes, towels, and bathing suits outside the tent.
Check out my camping essentials:
Step #3: Choose a Campground
The best way to figure out which campground fits you best is to really research them. If you are undecided between a few and are planning on staying for a few nights, pick one or two that you like. For instance, in Banff National Park in Canada, we stayed at both Johnston Canyon Campground and Two Jack Main Campground. Not only did it help because we could visit more places around the two different sites, but they offered different amenities that we could take advantage of.
Some questions to ask yourself when deciding on a campground are:
- What are the amenities? Hot showers, running water, firewood, general stores, and laundry are all amenities you can decide if you need close by for your camping experience.
- Is it worth the crowd? Some campgrounds offer 100+ sites while others only offer around 20 or less. Try to avoid sites next to the road or larger campgrounds if you are "noise sensitive."
- What is near the campground? Many campgrounds such as Johnston Canyon are located right next to awesome hikes and activities. Figure out what you want to do and see and plan you campground around it.
Our Site at Johnston Canyon Campground, Banff National Park, Canada
Step #4: Pick a Site
Determine what amenities (if any) to be near that would help make the camping experience more comfortable. Some features to look for are:
If you have a RV or are needing an extra spot for friends, make sure you pick a campground that permits the type of space your car needs.
Water Source:
Try to figure out the accessibility of water BEFORE arriving at your campground. Many campgrounds have a water spigot that you can use for potable waters, but there are exceptions. Make sure you have enough gallons to last a few days before arrival.
Sometimes it really is unavoidable to have close neighbors, put if you are going to a first-come, first-serve campground try to go around check-out time (usually 10-11AM) when you can have more sites to choose from.
Many backcountry sites do not have a bathroom, so if you are not one to do your business in the woods, stick to the developed campgrounds. I suggest picking a site near the bathroom, but not too close. It may seem like a plus to be the site right next to it, but that area is prone to increased foot traffic and awful smells.
Flat Ground:
If you are a tent camper, make sure you find a site with the flattest possible spot for your tent. Stay on high ground when the forecast calls for rain and always check for rocks and branches that will make sleeping in your tent an uncomfortable experience.
Spots to Accessorize:
The best part of setting up camp for me is making it feel like home. Set up lanterns, hammocks, chairs (not the best idea for backcountry campers), anything that lighten up the mood and make the site a little more cheery.
I hope these tips making finding a great campsite a little bit easier. A campsite can make or break your trip if you are spending your time being regretful about picking the site next to the screaming baby or realizing that your site is miles away from all the activities that brought you to the outdoors in the first place. I wish you all luck in finding serenity and peace in your outdoor adventures.
Is there anything I missed? Let me know in the comments below!

We now have 14 silkworms crawling around in our classroom. We will be updating the progress of our little visitors. They are really eating a lot of mulberry leaves. They are growing so fast. They are currently in the larva stage. We have learned about four stages in the life cycle of the silkworm. And third graders came to our classroom yesterday and read to us a story about a similar animal in its larva stage called a caterpillar. We are waiting for them to begin spinning their cocoon.
Our student of the week took this photograph of them on May 21, 2008. In the next couple of weeks, we hope to share some of the changes we see.

Jump Rope For Heart
We raised a lot of money for the American Heart Association! On Friday, May 2, 2008, our school had its Jump Rope for Heart event. Our class jumped along with the rest of the school, and we had lots of fun. We also enjoyed watching our principal, assistant principal, and out teacher jumping along. The way we raised money was by having our family and friends donate money before the day we jumped. Our class was able to raise more than $200 alone. We can't wait till we do this again in first grade.

Stillman and Birn sent me some of their books to try, and here are my observations after some brief but purposeful use. I'm not an artist nor an art student. I just like to draw from time to time, and recently I decided to try to take my skills a bit further. That and journaling form my perspective in comparing these books.
Stillman and Birn offers three kinds of paper:
180lb paper with a rough surface, suitable for mixed media is used in the Beta and Delta books.
100lb paper with a vellum surface is used in the Alpha and Gamma books
100lb paper with a plate (very similar to a 'wove' surface) surface in the Epsilon book.
I used the following:
Pencil: Palomino Blackwing, Pentel HB and 2B, Musgrave Unigraph 2H
Pen: Namiki Vanishing Point in fine, with Noodler's Bulletproof Black, Pelikan M800 in extra fine (writes more like a fine) with Private Reserve Midnight Blues.
For fountain pens, I found the Epsilon was best, followed by Beta, and then Alpha. Epsilon is like a brand-new asphalt road. Very smooth and flat. Beta is like an older asphalt road – one that gets little traffic but was laid on a poor base. It's lumpy and the car lurches up and down, but there's no tire noise or steering jitter. The texture of the Beta paper wasn't scratchy, although there's clearly more feedback than with Epsilon. Alpha is like a brand-new concrete road, where they give it a rough surface for poor weather traction. Flat, but lots of tire noise – a rough surface. I found writing with a Namiki fine point, or fine point gel pens to be scratchy. Not unwritable, and the line quality was comparable to the others, just not very pleasant.
For graphite, Alpha was the surface that did best from a line-quality and performance perspective. Next was Epsilon, then Beta. My simplistic shading test left me with the impression that Alpha would be more forgiving of bad technique. I simply colored the left side of a box, and then using a stomp tried to blend the shading to the right:
Above is the Epsilon. You can see where my original vertical strokes are, even after blending with a stomp.
This is the Beta. The absence of blending here is more my fault than the paper's – started blending the dark band on the left, and did so too long before trying to blend to the right.
And finally the Alpha. What caught my eye was that the texture of the shading seemed to be more consistent with the Alpha. The density of the shading is more reflective of technique – or lack of. I think all the papers could shade well with good technique.
I found Alpha to lower the apparent grade of a pencil by about 2 grades – an HB lead on Alpha writes about the same as 2B on Epsilon. It also seemed to consume graphite faster. Epsilon was more pleasant to write on, and was more compatible with the grades I prefer for other papers. The Epsilon paper isn't as smooth as Moleskine or Leuchtturm1917 paper, and it lowers apparent pencil hardness by maybe as much as a grade.
I haven't yet tried anything wet, but I did try both pen and pencil on the Beta and found it was not very pleasant for me with Pencil – I don't care for the crayony look it gave the pencils I typically use, although harder lead looked better. For fountain pen it was smoother than I expected, and I'd rather write on Beta with the Namiki fine than on Alpha. With the M800 it felt like many resume/high-end office papers. Another item in the Beta's favor was the lack of transparency. Both the Alpha and Epsilon are somewhat transparent. Not enough to read what is on the other side, but definitely enough to know something is there. On the Beta I couldn't see it. I'm not very sensitive to this, and it's far less than with thinner papers, but I mention it because I know some folks are very particular. I think the Beta is the only book I've ever seen that is fully opaque. Its paper is thick and tough, and while this makes a really sturdy book it also hits page count, which is a big issue for journaling.
They all seemed to erase about the same. White plastic erasers did the best, followed by kneadable and then the harder rubber style. In all cases the paper didn't seem to be affected.
So where am I with this? Still trying them out, since I've only filled a few pages or so in each. But, right now the choice would be between the Epsilon and Alpha. The trade-off is either poorer pen feel and the need for harder pencils on the Alpha, or slightly lesser pencil performance on the Epsilon. If I knew I was going to use both pen and pencil, it would be Epsilon. Especially if I would be writing very much as the smoother paper is more pleasant to write on.
However, for sketching in pencil, Alpha is clearly the better paper and I enjoy using it. I'm not sure I can articulate all of why I like using it so much, and I'm not convinced the difference in book size – my Epsilon is 5×8, the Alpha is 8.5×11 – isn't clouding my feelings, but the alpha seems better enough that I would consider a book just for that.
Last but not least, my experience with these books so far confirms what I thought when I unwrapped them – there's nothing else out there like these. The paper is heavier and nicer than anything commonly available, and certainly anything available in a bound book. They cost a bit more than the alternatives, but at the rate I would fill books like these, it's not much to pay for a whole lot more book.
As I said, I'm still checking them out – more to follow!

How do I clean a wood garage door?
First, check to be sure that there are no cracks or chips in your paint or varnish. If there is, the water can seep through and damage the wood. Wooden garage doors can be cleaned with a solution of water and simple household detergent; mix one cup of detergent in five gallons of water and wash the door with a cloth or soft brush. You should rinse with plain water after washing. Some people choose to use power washers, which blasts any trace of dirt or grime away, but caution should be used since these can damage softer woods. Your garden hose is almost always sufficient. Let the door dry for a day or two before doing anything else (such as painting).

We'll show you how to install npm on Ubuntu 16.04. npm is a JavaScript package manager which can be used to install, share, and distribute code as well as to manage dependencies in your projects. It is written entirely in JavaScript as an inspiration from the other similar projects like PEAR for PHP, or CPAN for Perl. Installing npm on Ubuntu 16.04 is an easy task – just follow the steps below and you should have npm running on Ubuntu 16.04 in less then 10 minutes.
1. Connect via SSH and Upgrade your System
The very first thing you need to do is to connect to your Linux VPS via SSH and upgrade your system software to the latest version available. You can do that by using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
The upgrade process could take anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the software that needs to be upgraded. Once your system is up to date, you can proceed with the other steps of this tutorial.
Next, we'll need to install Node.js. The installation of Node.js on Ubuntu 16.04 can be done using several different methods:
APT: the default Ubuntu package manager
PPA: Personal Package Manager
NVM: Node Version Manager
For detailed instructions for each of those methods, please visit our blog post on how to install Node.js on Ubuntu 16.04.
2. Install Node.js Version – 4.x on Ubuntu 16.04
npm is bundled with Node.js, so to install npm you only need to install Node.js on your Ubuntu VPS. To install Node.js 4.x LTS on Ubuntu 16.04, run the following commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
3. Install Node.js Version – 7.x on Ubuntu 16.04
Alternatively, to install Node.js 7.x on Ubuntu 16.04, which is the current version of Node.js, run the commands below:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
4. Verify npm Installation
To verify that the installation is successful, you can check the npm version:
npm -v
The output should be similar to the one below:
# npm -v 4.2.0
5. Check the npm Help Documentation
A good way to start using npm is to read the npm help page or the npm documentation. To check the npm help page, enter the following command:
npm help
Here is the npm help page:
# npm help Usage: npm <command> where <command> is one of: access, add-user, adduser, apihelp, author, bin, bugs, c, cache, completion, config, ddp, dedupe, deprecate, dist-tag, dist-tags, docs, edit, explore, faq, find, find-dupes, get, help, help-search, home, i, info, init, install, issues, la, link, list, ll, ln, login, logout, ls, outdated, owner, pack, ping, prefix, prune, publish, r, rb, rebuild, remove, repo, restart, rm, root, run-script, s, se, search, set, show, shrinkwrap, star, stars, start, stop, t, tag, team, test, tst, un, uninstall, unlink, unpublish, unstar, up, update, upgrade, v, version, view, whoami npm -h quick help on npm -l display full usage info npm faq commonly asked questions npm help search for help on npm help npm involved overview Specify configs in the ini-formatted file: /root/.npmrc or on the command line via: npm <command> --key value Config info can be viewed via: npm help config email@example.com /usr/lib/node_modules/npm <command>
Using the commands "npm -l" and "npm faq" will give most new users the basic knowledge they need to start using npm. And that's all that's needed for installation – you have now successfully installed npm on Ubuntu 16.04. The npm documentation is available at https://docs.npmjs.com/.
Of course, you don't have to install npm on Ubuntu 16.04 if you use one of our Optimized Java VPS Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to install npm on for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of installing npm onto your server.

Big Sister Anna Quindlen
Culturebox never dreamed, when New York Times Op-Ed columnist and suburban mom Anna Quindlen abandoned journalism for fiction-writing five years ago, that it would be nice to have her back. But consider the hole she left behind her in the pundit universe. The columns of her successor at the Times, Maureen Dowd, consist of Heathers-like pronunciamentos upon the coolness of this politician and the uncoolness of that one, each punctuated by a saucy flounce. Quindlen's predecessor in the slot at Newsweek she began to fill this week, the late Meg Greenfield, issued closely argued bulletins from somewhere deep inside a Washington dinner party. Quindlen is neither saucy nor one step ahead of the conventional wisdom, but her virtues are ones that Culturebox suspects it's unhealthy to do without: She's substantive and stern; she's loyal to husband and kids; she makes peace, not war; she favors old-fashioned horse sense over brilliance. " 'To see ourselves as others see us,' was the line my grandmother would always throw out when she was crabby and I was full of myself," is the sort of thing she's wont to declare--wisely, self-deprecatingly, and only somewhat preachily. Culturebox would count herself lucky to have Anna Quindlen as a big sister, though she'd probably throttle the girl after a year or two.
Let's clear up another common misconception while we're at it. Big sister-ish though she may be, Quindlen's is not the voice of feminism in our time. It's easy to mistake it for that, and her critics generally do, making her a springboard for an attack on feminism in general. She draws on her own experience, thereby making the personal political, and was for a long time the only female voice on the white, male Times Op-Ed page. She favors what one critic, Karen Lehrman, calls "motherhood politics"--she's for stuff that's good for kids and against stuff that's bad for them. But feminism is an ideology, which is to say a relatively coherent intellectual position, a set of arguments attached to a political objective. So weighty an agenda demands a consistency Quindlen has not, so far, evinced. Insofar as she's a feminist, she's a pop feminist--an Oprah or Lifetime feminist, a cheerleader for women in all their travails. But we read Quindlen, if we do, for her peppy style, and that emerges out of another tradition entirely--not the reformist rhetoric of Susan B. Anthony and Betty Friedan but the homespun, folksy, and often surprisingly liberal tones of an earlier era in American journalism, when newspaper editorialists and magazine editors and advice columnists elevated the anecdote of daily life to the status of gospel and did more than just about anyone else to invent our 20th-century idea of everydayness.
In short, Quindlen is a sentimentalist, which is not an insult in Culturebox's book, since to harden one's heart to sentimentalism is to take oneself beyond the reach of much of American culture. Some of those whose sensibility Quindlen shares happen be female--Ann Landers, Dear Abby, and Mary Worth, the well-coiffed, well-born newspaper comic-strip heroine who has been dispensing sage advice to her less well-adapted neighbors since 1938. But others are male, such as the author and illustrator who create Mary Worth anew every day, or George Horace Lorimer, an editor of the old magazine the Saturday Evening Post and an aphorist whose nuggets of wisdom sound uncannily Quindlenesque: "Education is about the only thing lying around loose in the world, and it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of he's willing to haul away" is one of his more famous ones. Another Quindlen-like figure was William Allen White, the great turn-of-the-century editor of the Emporia, Kansas, Gazette, who deployed his aw-shucks tone to attack heartland know-nothingism and populism, but whose greatest column is widely acknowledged to be his elegy to his daughter, who died after she ran into a low-hanging branch while riding a horse.
Ann Landers and her sister believe in good behavior; White believed in the importance of humor, dignity, and not being provincial; what does Quindlen feel strongly about? Editorials are supposed to be the literature of opinion, but for the key to Quindlen's core beliefs you must turn to her novels. These are as morally instructive in their way as the works of another, far greater sentimentalist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Quindlen's first novel, Object Lessons, is a coming-of-age story about the perils of letting others tell you what to do in life. The homily is provided by--who else?--the heroine's best friend's smart and unusually poised big sister: "Just remember that sometimes you drift into things, and then you can't get out of them," the sister advises the novel's protagonist. "Not to decide is to decide." One True Thing, the story of a woman who comes home to take care of her dying mother and winds up accused of euthanasia, echoes that lesson but ups the ante: If you're passive enough to let your parents dump their problems on you, they can darn near destroy your life. Quindlen's latest novel, Black and Blue, makes the consequences of letting someone else tell you what to do even more horrifyingly explicit: It's the movie-of-the-week-type saga of woman on the run from her abusive husband. Quindlen's message is clear: You have to figure out who you are, think for yourself, take some responsibility, for crying out loud.
As convictions go, it's not the most original around, but it's not a terrible one either. Quindlen's first column in Newsweek is more of the same. This time, the den-mother persona is underscored by the photograph that accompanies the piece, of Quindlen with sensibly cropped hair. The editorial is a sigh of disgust at the whole Brooklyn Museum mess. It's slightly smarter than most on this subject, with more of a sense of history (she tosses the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice into the mix). But ah, yes, here comes the grandmotherly language: "Oh, for pity's sake, here we go again." Here's the liberal common sense: "[I]n other news, cops are being accused of savagery, priests of impropriety, and thousands of children are failing in the New York City schools. And civic leaders, both political and religious, are using their bully pulpits for this?" So what if Quindlen's about a week late to the story? The point is, she's right, as she usually is. It wouldn't hurt us to eat our fiber when she tells us to, or to grow up, either.

Recall for a moment the awkward fumbling of your first kiss, your first make-out session, or your first orgasm. More than likely, you were hesitant about your body's preferences, uncertain of what to do, and unsure how to enjoy it. Relearning your sexuality–indeed, discovering your postpartum sexuality–is quite similar in that it takes time, patience, and a will for sensual adventure to get your groove back. And the groove you track down may end up being a totally new groove altogether. Having kids is arguably the most intense change a romantic relationship encounters, and just as your body, mind, hormones, and priorities have undeniably altered, so too your sexual self may be unrecognizable from that of the woman who you were prior.
Frankly, it can feel downright unfair when a biological function like sex drive, something that gave you such joy before baby landed, that you honed and demystified in the years since puberty, has seemingly…vanished. The good news is that you are not alone. Postpartum lack of lustiness is quite common. So don't shame yourself, and don't give up on sex. If your baby shows up and your libido takes off, try these five steps to get back in the (sexy) saddle.
- Erotic Wishlist – What would you have liked to explore sexually before pregnancy but didn't get the chance? Would you like to be seduced, experiment with sex toys, or try a sexual role-play? This list isn't about what feels probable or practical right now, in stained pajamas drinking lukewarm coffee; it's what you think you might like to try. If nothing sounds "good," per se, keep it simple; kissing, a two-hour massage, or just an uninterrupted bath. Write down at least four items.
- Set the Scene – Sexuality is so much more than just The Deed itself; atmosphere can be equally important to getting and staying in the mood. Take a look at the wishlist you've created, and make a corresponding list of fantasy settings for your experimentation. Can you imagine trying these things at home with baby safely asleep upstairs? Would it be more likely to occur after a good date night and in your car? Or at a hotel? Again, this isn't a "practical" wishlist – it's about what would create the most optimal setting for you. If a waterfall in Fiji comes to mind, write it down.
- Bulldoze the Barriers – Money, Time, and Energy. Lack of these three precious resources might be the most daunting roadblocks to realizing an optimal post-baby sexual/fantasy setting, but also pinpoint not-so-obvious impediments such as breastfeeding and bottles, or feeling confident enough in a non-parental caregiver. Now: remind yourself that these are just logistics, and most logistics have work-arounds! They may not be easy, but they are doable. Enlist trusted friends or family as babysitter. Pump in advance, or schedule your escapade around feeding times. Easiest of all might be turning your own room into a hotel-esque sanctuary: dreamy lighting, flickering candles, music, and, well, you get the picture! It might not be a waterfall in Fiji, but a quiet candlelit shower with your partner can be a wonderful opportunity for intimacy. (Maybe you can even get clean?! Wouldn't that do wonders for your libido?)
- The Thrilling Threesome – Think back to your Top Three (pre-parental) peak sexual experiences. What made them special, why were they fun? Was there a distinct intimacy, an unusual spontaneity? Perhaps it was the luxury of time, or the lack thereof, or a simple laugh between lovers. Whatever the peculiar place or sizzling circumstances, dig deep to remember the details. Pick your brain and borrow something (or many things) from these experiences! Your body just might remember them, too…
- Put It Into Practice – You've done the hard work already. You know what you'd like to try, what you need to create the mood, and now it's time to make it happen. Just as you would plan an ordinary date, book a Sex Date and start checking items off that wishlist.
If you follow these steps, you will have charted an alternate sexual roadmap. However ingrained and well-earned the old map was, you are now on new terrain. You are rethinking what you like and what you like-like and creating a new appreciation of who you are sexually…not then, but now. And that appreciation is so important, because ultimately, it's your perception of your sexuality that determines your actual sexual activity.
More from love

This post was written for University of Toronto Students for Life by Danny Ricci. It does not necessarily represent the views of NCLN.
Blogging has been lighter than I wanted lately but thanks to Michael and Blaise for helping me out! There were two comments on this blog that I had not responded to and I just thought I would use them as another post. I wanted to rebuttal this comment by Sam Sansalone:
You stupid little fools. You don't cut, slice, poke, and invade someones body on their deathbed. The little guy deserves peace, without invasive procedures. Grow up and learn a little.
Thanks for the comment Sam. Maybe it was not clear enough in the original post, but this is not a case of euthanasia but rather a case of parental rights. I have also corrected the category of the original post.
This is not a case of euthanasia because removing the ventilator would not have caused the death of baby Joseph. Rather, baby Joseph would have either survived or died due to his medical condition. Euthanasia is an act that causes the death of someone with the intent of relieving suffering. This was not the case for baby Joseph.
The problem in this case was that the parents wanted to have a tracheotomy done so that baby Joseph could die in their care while the hospital wanted to remove the ventilator and baby Joseph would have probably died in a short time. The parents had the tracheotomy done on their first child about 8 years ago and wanted the same for baby Joseph.
As an update, baby Joseph is in a children's hospital in St. Louis, Missouri and doctors are coming up with a treatment plan for him.
Therefore, the main question in this case is "Who has the right to decide?" . Do parents have the right to decide what is in the best interest of their child, even if it goes against medical advise? We hope, and parents hope, that the answer is yes and we continue to pray and hope for the best for baby Joseph and his family.

Solo Satellite of Love #3
Still lovin' spessartite garnet, especially teamed up in 18k green. The whole garnet family is a favourite at Disegno because of the colour variety, because they're one of the few all-natural, never-treated gems and because of the sparkle. I like to set these rich hues in green 18k gold because it makes the gem 'pop' even more and I've added two side bands for versatility and greater 'framing' of the spessartite. Gem approximately 1.3 ct.
SOLD. Ask me about making a similar trio for you.
Disegno rings are available in most sizes. Don't see your size? Please contact Disegno. Additional charges may apply to larger sizes. Bangles are available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL. For more information, click here.
Disegno is known for generous amounts of precious metals in all of its jewellery. Unless necessary for comfort or light play, all jewellery is solid, not hollow. For rings, weights indicated are approximate for average sizes. For more information and a handy tool to understanding weights, click here.

AIS³ is a walk-in light and sound installation consisting of 444 spheres, distributed over a volume of 8mx8mx7m. AIS³ stands for "Three-dimensional Astroparticle Immersive Synthesizer". Beeing pronounced [aiskju:b] it recalls the name of the worldwide largest particle detector: IceCube. This instrument of superlatives is the biggest observatory for a very special sort of elementary particles originating from the depths of space: the neutrinos. Quite recently, IceCube has discovered energetic cosmic neutrinos. With these messengers from far worlds, a new window to the Universe has been opened. In 2013, the journal "Physics World" highlighted IceCube's discovery as "breakthrough of the year", a title which one year before was given to the discovery of the Higgs boson. AIS³ sonifies the weak interactions of neutrinos with IceCube translating the detector array of a size of a cubic kilometer hidden in the depths of the ice shield of Antarctica into a walkable sound and light sculpture.
The translucent loudspeakers represent together with its electronics and RGB-LED's a sensor segment of an IceCube detector string. Here an especially manufactured acrylic sphere with a diameter of 10 cm houses two high power miniature speakers covering a sound field of almost 360 degrees. 444 of such units are wired and do hang like pearls on 37 strings from the ceiling, so each string with its 12 speakers joins several sensors in the ratio of 1:10. The idea is to represent semi-live data from IceCube which means to use data from IceCube as soon they have been transferred from Antarctica to DESY in Germany. The major difference between a soundscape and a visual representation is the aspect of immersion: The visitor gets the impression not to stand before the detector (vision) but feels more to be bodily immersed into the action of physical processes and to explore it by walking through the detector space. Having a very different access to spatio-temporal data by audition, the basic idea of this project is to find an audible representation for these events of energetic interactions in space, but at the same time it is a novel psychoacoustic experiment placing physically hundreds of loudspeakers in a 3 dimensional space.
The project will premiere in collaboration with DESY Zeuthen on 28 August 2018 at St. Elisabeth in Berlin/Germany (till 16 September). Further presentations will follow up in Munich, the Ludwig Forum Aachen and abroad.
Four billion years ago, our solar system and Earth still in their infancy, a neutrino was emitted in our direction by a huge galaxy with a supermassive black hole in its center. It eventually arrived at Earth on Sept. 22 last year and was recorded by our IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole. The … Continue reading "July 12, 2018: Neutrinos as messengers from a gigantic galaxy – another "falling wall"?"
about the wonder of fresh breakfast eggs at one of the most remote outposts of civilization
IceCube is the weirdest telescope of the world! Instead of light, X-rays or radio waves it detects neutrinos. Neutrinos are tiny, electrically neutral elementary particles which extremely rarely interact with matter. For instance, a thumbnail is crossed by about 60 billion of solar neutrinos per second, but only a dozen of them react with an atomic nucleus when propagating all through the Earth. However, these "ghost particles" are transmitting unique information about the cosmos: Due to their feeble reactivity they can escape the densest cosmic objects, where light is trapped and cannot directly leave.
IceCube consists of 5160 light sensors which are frozen deep into the 3 km thick ice glacier above the South Pole. In total they cover a full cubic kilometer of ice. The sensors record the tiny light flashes which are generated in the rare neutrino interactions. In 2013, the IceCube team discovered cosmic neutrinos of very high energy. The Journal Physics World ranked this discovery as the 'breakthrough of the year'. However, the arrival directions of these neutrinos seem to be uniformly distributed across the sky; so far, no clear individual source could be singled out. That could change rather soon, since more and more data will provide a better sensitivity. Then, the blurred landscape of the neutrino sky will be charted in detail. Eventually, gravitational wave astronomy, acknowledged with the 2017 Nobel Prize, will be flanked by another new tool: neutrino astronomy. Lots of cosmic secrets are waiting to be deciphered…
The movement of sound and coloured light in AIS³ translate the measurements of the IceCube Observatory and immerge the visitor literally in the physical processes. By this way everybody can make in the walkable environment the sensuous experience, that a continuous shower of invisible elementary particle passes out bodies without noticing it.
A trace of subtle light flashes is registered by the detectors of IceCube, when a certain type of elementary particle passes the depths of the ice. The distribution in space and the intensity of these traces give information on the origin of the triggering elementary particle. AIS³ not only redraws these traces by the means of light, but in translates the varying energies in tones of correspondent pitches. Here the compositorial interest focuses energetic schemes underlying the particle interactions. The resulting relation of tones reveal a special but odd harmonics.
By this sonification the environment creates a new access to the data. The coexistence of light and sound makes apparent the major distance between a soundscape and pure optical representation. Vision can locate relatively well individual events in space, but the "bigger picture" and its simultaneousness can be perceived much better by audition. Last but not least, the sonification bears the potential for the scientist to experience his own experiment in a new way.
But AIS³ offers even more than a new access to scientific data. The 444 loudspeakers are physically distributed in the space. This allows an extraordinary sound space experience, which differs considerable from classic multi-channel systems of a cubic or hemispheric shape. Tones travel in space and recompose locally to different sounds. By this way each visitor experiences a unique sound space, which can be explored like an instrument by moving in.

A number of Aeromodelling workshops happen in Dehradun. You can find and enroll in them below.
Dehradun is the provisional capital of Uttarakhand state. It is nestled between the Himalayan foothills to the north and the Shivaliks to the South. The town offers breathtaking scenery.
Dehradun is situated at an altitude of 2,200 ft in the Doon Valley between two of the most important rivers in India, the Ganga and Yamuna. It offers beautiful scenery and a moderate climate in summer, and so is an ideal place to relax and escape the heat of the plains below. The town also serves as a convenient base for visiting the area's many tourist sites.
Dehradun has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, and currently has a population of around 550,000. It is also famous for the Doon School, which is often referred to as the Eton of India.
Jolly Grant Airport (IATA: DED). SpiceJet and Jet Airways each provide two flights daily between Dehradun and Delhi. Connecting flights are available to other major cities including Mumbai. The airport is 20 km from town. There is direct bus service from ISBT (Inter state bus terminus) to reach here. These buses are run by the government of Uttarakhand, and run every 20 to 30 minutes during the day. The buses are painted red on their lower half and are actually going to Rishikesh, stopping at the airport on the way. Private taxi services are available at the airport (US$40), or hotels may provide their own arrangements.
Dehradun (IR station code : DDN) is a major station and a terminus in Uttarakhand. It is connected by rail to Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi, Allahabad, Kolkata, Gorakhpur, Amritsar, Indore, Ujjain and Chennai. Here are some useful trains to reach Dehradun:
Also see Rail travel in India
Delux, Volvo, Semi-deluxe and ordinary Uttarakhand State buses depart every hour from ISBT, Kashmere Gate in New Delhi. There is also an overnight deluxe A/C service run by Uttarakhand Tourism. It is a six to seven hour journey from Delhi. However, the bus station is located about 5–6 km from the centre of the town. If you are coming from Delhi side the trains will generally be more convenient.
Dehradun is in principle a 5 hour drive from Delhi, but unless you leave Delhi very early in the morning, you will encounter traffic that makes the trip significantly longer. The town is on NH 72A (Chhutmalpur to Dehradun). The road is two-laned, but not very wide. There may be many slow-moving vehicles at harvest times, and pilgrims walking on the road in late July and early August.
Various car rental companies provide cars to Dehradun from New Delhi Airport & New Delhi Railway station.
Dehradun has a city bus service run by private owners under STA. The destinations are written in Hindi above the windshield. Generally, however, the buses are crowded, so it is better to use other means of transport.
Auto rickshaws are plentiful in the downtown area. They are not metered, but instead use a fixed rate system. However, as the rate is often not prominently displayed, it is advisable to have some idea of the cost to your destination before taking an auto rickshaw. Otherwise, you are very likely to be charged well over the odds.
The cheapest way to get around town is via the ubiquitous blue three wheelers called Vikrams. These vehicles are often crammed, with capacity for 8 cramped passengers in the back. The Vikrams are numbered according to their routes through the city. Fare is 3-5 rupees.
The best way to explore the town is on foot, since it is surprisingly compact. Finding your way around is not that difficult as it may seem at first glance. Rajpur Road is the main avenue and Chakrata Road is also quite an important street. They both intersect at the Clock Tower Roundabout. Walking across town can take up to 30 minutes.
You can easily visit Dehradun through Car. There are many car rental companies.

Digital Marketing: 4 tips for effective advertising
Goals and objectives guide your social media strategy to assist you with success connects along with your customers.
In this article, we will talk about what you would like to incorporate in your the social media promoting strategy so it works from day one.
- Establish Business Goals
Every piece of your social media strategy must meet the goals you set. You just can't move forward while not knowing what you're operating toward.
Look closely at your company's overall wants and judge how you would like to use social media to contribute to reaching them.
You'll beyond any doubt come back up with many customized goals, however there are a couple of that everyone corporations ought to embrace in their strategy—increasing whole awareness, holding customers and reducing promoting prices are relevant to everybody.
- Set promoting Objectives
Goals aren't really helpful if you don't have specific parameters that outline once everything is achieved. For instance, if one in all your primary goals is generating leads and sales, what number leads and sales does one ought to generate before you think about that goal a success?
Marketing objectives outline however you get from purpose A (an unsuccessful goal) to purpose B (with success consummated goal). You'll confirm your objectives with the S-M-A-R-T approach: create your objectives specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound.
Using our previous example, if your goal is to get leads and sales, a particular promoting objective could also be to extend leads by five hundredth. In order to achieve your progress, opt for that analytics and chase tools you would like to own in social media marketing.
- Establish Ideal Customers
If a business is tormented by low engagement on their social profiles, it's actually because they don't have correct ideal client profile.
Buyer personas assist you outline and target the proper folks, within the right places, at the proper times with the proper messages.
When you recognize your target audience's age, occupation, income, interests, pains, problems, obstacles, habits, likes, dislikes, motivations and objections, then it's easier and cheaper to focus on them on social or the other media.
- Analysis Competition
When it involves social media promoting, researching your competition not solely keeps you apprised of their activity, it provides you a concept of what's operating thus you'll integrate those roaring techniques into your own efforts.
Start by collection a listing of a minimum of 3-5 main competitors. Search those social networks they are utilizing and analyze their content strategy. With the help of digital marketing Dubai, Scrutinize their variety of fans or followers by posting frequency and time of day.
Also concentrate to the sort of content they're posting and its context (humorous, promotional, etc.) and the way they're responding to their fans.
The most vital activity to seem at is engagement. Albeit page admins are the sole once web will calculate engagement rate on a selected update, you will get an honest plan of what they are seeing.
For example, let's say you are observing a competitor's last 20-30 Facebook updates. Take the entire variety of engagement activities for those posts and divide it by the page's total variety of fans. (Engagement activity includes likes, comments, shares, etc.)
You can use that formula on all of your competitors' social profiles (e.g., on Twitter you'll calculate re-tweets and favorites).

Hamra – Beirut's Comeback Kid
This article is part of Your Middle East's series "My favorite neighborhood in…".
Centered on the bustling Hamra Street, the Hamra area has no defined borders. Loosely, it connects major areas in Ras Beirut (literally translated to be the "head of Beirut"). The area includes both the American University of Beirut and some of the Lebanese American University – two of the leading English universities in the Middle East. Consequently, businesses have proliferated in the area to serve the large population of students.
Hamra's liveliness died out in in the 1990s following the Civil War. Because of its high-profile status, and with so much religious cohabitation it was feared as a political danger point. Shopping districts like Mar Elias and Kaslik became safer and more isolated from the public eye and pushed down Hamra from the commercial throne.
ALSO READ How the Lebanese's dark humor will keep them "sleeping with the fishes"
Only recently has it regained its original momentum, becoming more of a distinguished cultural hub than it ever was.
For the past three years, the alleyway, a hidden street of eleven cramped bars, has been frequented by the same young faces, there to mingle at happy hour and into the wee hours of the night. The cacophony of music and banter will seep into neighboring areas. Occasionally, an overlooking window will open and a half-asleep resident will howl out words of tired complaint.
For those seeking a lighter mood for a drink, there are over forty bars in Hamra alone. Some are nondescript and humble, while others opt for grandeur in solitude. Some prefer Arabic playlists, while others have full-fledged French nights. Variety is a good word to describe the area.
Some say Beirut is the city that never sleeps. Naturally, most areas do. The upscale Downtown, for one, is dead by 1am. But Hamra will be up and running at any hour of the day. Partygoers will usually end their night with a savory delight at one of Hamra's late night diners. Stop by the iconic Zaatar w Zeit at 4am on a Saturday night; chances are you'll have to wait some fifteen minutes for a table in this two-floor gourmet manouche restaurant.
Hamra also boasts some of the strongest cultural hubs in the region. The Piccadilly Theatre where the singer Fairuz and the Rahbani Brothers held their musicals closed down during the Civil War. And as any proud Hamra resident will tell you, the Piccadilly Theatre also hosted the French singer Dalida on a few occasions. Albeit the theatre's closing, the street in Hamra is still referred to as The Piccadilly and continues to emit the energy it did in the late 1900s. Nearby, The Metro Hall, a Cabaret-style theatre hosts all sorts of entertainment, including literary ones. Although it is only a year old, it has already gained noteworthy success.
ALSO READ My favourite neighbourhood in…Jeddah
In 2011, The Democratic Republic of Music (DRM), a concert lounge, opened its doors – bringing local and international music to the spotlight in a distinguished, New York blues style setting. Shows have included the Algerian singer Souad Massi and the comedian Nemr Abou Nassar. Uprising artists, too, have taken the stage.
Further West, Café Younes, popular for their strong brew, hold monthly poetry readings where all are welcome to join. For the older generation, Café Younes is reminiscent of Hamra's Café De Paris, where the big shot journalists and writers once gathered. Like Picadilly Theatre, Wimpy's diner and Modca Café, Café de Paris is off the map but engraved in Lebanon's political and cultural history.
"Hamra always had this feeling that revolutionary changes happen there," Rasha Moukaddem, 56, explains.
Because the land rent has skyrocketed in recent years, only established chains have been opening in the area. Still, the older stores that had been standing there for the past decades remain. Because they are purchased land, they are exempt from Hamra's increasing exclusivity. In such a way, torn-down, local fabric stores juxtapose larger chains like Virgin Megastore creating the most interesting visual image for the tourist. Indeed, foreigners who visit the country will likely comment on the contrasts prevalent in Hamra.
"Its charm resides in the blend of new and old, Western and local. It's my creative muse," says Dalia Khalifeh, a 20-year old design student.

In the same way one can shop clothes in Hamra on any budget, food comes for a dollar or thirty. This isn't London's Knightsbridge, nor is it San Francisco's Chinatown. It is a middle ground of price ranges. For three dollars, one can have the (arguably) best shawarma in the country from Barbar. Walking past the restaurant, you will find a horde of people hungry for a sandwich at any hour of the day and some forty Barbar motorcycles parked outside waiting for an order to deliver. But, if today's the day to splurge – you can indulge in some sushi at Soto or pepper steak at Le Rouge just a few blocks away.
"It is home away from home. For you and me. For everybody," an elderly man selling magazines in the area rejoices.
Hamra is the Comeback Kid, and it's here to stay.

the first several things I came across were either lies or distortions, so I gave up.
I never buy this "paid protestors" line. Seriously, with the most intense presidential election ever in this country and millions of people worried about being deported or having their social security or foodstamps cut you don't think that people are protesting because they're truly upset?!
You couldn't rise to a single challenge in that thread, not even the ones specific to the Veritas video, which by the way the entire presentation there put to rest the claims that the Veritas clips were irrelevant, but it was easier for you to just blow it all off and tuck tail.
You've had a month now. The transcripts are out. You're so smart, and so correct on this, do an analysis, break down which clips within the piece DONT speak for themselves, what percent of the piece is worthy of discussion, otherwise you're just embarrassing yourself to speak in these sweeping blanket assertions and patent rejections of there being any EVIDENCE.
Which by the way, you demanded evidence, I provide a #storm of it for you, you blow it all off, then say you want "clear evidence", which I argue you're demanding PROOF, and now you're back to demanding evidence again, which you're long had.
For the tenth time, do an analysis, make the thread, PM me when you do, otherwise you are pointless. What are you afraid of? I keep challenging Antediluvian on this same thing, and he wont do it either!

It is all so blatantly obvious to me. I don't understand how some of these brainwashed liberals can't see it. Keeping blacks and whites in constant opposition works in their favor. And "political correctness" has shut up those that could enlighten the ignorant ones. Donald Trump has given a little of our freedom of speech back, and I hope some of the brainwashed ones see the light.

Video in OP is completely out of context and could mean anything. Without doing further research I am not prepared to do right now, the OP could be completely making up the rest of the post. For all I know having listened to that 30 second clip, Soros is talking about helping Jews. Very manipulative post

why defend anything here?....it doesn't matter anymore....democrats control NOTHING!...the people have spoken and the right-wing controls the entire federal government, and the vast majority of states included. there is nothing left to defend...the right is now going to go after gays, minorities, liberals, and women who don't bow down to ruling conservatives. legal pot users could be rounded up and put in prison. same sex marriages, you could now be put in prison....and you military people, gear up, because you are going to be fighting in some foreign country soon.
now if your are a millionaire or billionaire, START THE PARTY!!.....there will so much of your taxes return to you that you will finally be able to purchase that second yacht.....and since that money will come out of "general funds", you won't have to worry about the poor or middle class complaining, because they'll be too busy working 2 or 3 jobs part time, with no benefits, and at minimum wage. their energy will be concentrated on figuring out how to feed themselves and their kids, and keep a roof over their head....and to black people?....."hands up, don't shoot" will not work anymore....police shootings will go up, you're on your own, their is NO government agency left to protect you. the right will praise the police for their "law and order" stance, and from past history, you know what that "code phrase" means.
my question to you "soul searcher" is why are you even arguing about any of this?....your obsession with Soros having any power went out the window 5 days ago.

Incorporated, Season 1
Courtesy of CBS Home Entertainment & Paramount
Release Date: June 20, 2017
I love how Syfy Channel is incorporating more science fiction back into their lineup. I was worried for a while that they might have to rename the channel because the programming wasn't really matching their name. Thankfully, they seem to be on the road to fixing that.
INCORPORATED, a recent series from producers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, was canceled after a single season, however it is a bold offering and a testament to an attempt at quality, original programming. Despite its cancelation, INCORPORATED is a heck of a show, and it's still worth watching.
If you are not familiar with INCORPORATED, here is the plot synopsis courtesy of CBS and Paramount
Set in a near future where corporations have unlimited power, INCORPORATED follows Ben Larson (Sean Teal, "Reign"), a young executive who conceals his true identity to infiltrate a dangerous corporate world to save the woman he loves. But he'll soon learn that he's not the only one whose secrets may have deadly consequences. In addition to Teale, the series stars Golden Globe nominee Dennis Haysbert ("24), Emmy Award winner Julia Ormond ("Mad Men"), Allison Miller ("Terra Nova"), and Eddie Ramos ("Teen Wolf"), with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as Executive Producers.
One of the biggest positives for me is the use of technology to help tell the story. The futuristic sophistication of their tech is a focal point in the storyline, but it's only a part of it. The human drama involved is what really drives it, which in turn makes the high tech imagery an integral partner.
INCORPORATED is shot well and looks great onscreen. As mentioned, the special effects really pop and look slick alongside the storyline. The acting is also great, with Sean Teale headlining a terrific cast.
But where INCORPORATED really shines is in its ability to draw in the viewer without forcing a major knowledge-infusion upon him or her. Unlike GAME OF THRONES, which makes the viewer learn a whole new world and the rules that govern it, INCORPORATED is content to remain starkly familiar and yet enticingly different. This casual air allows the dramatic elements to unfold in an eye-catching and yet fantastic setting.
INCORPORATED is a win for me, and I recommend it. Look past the fact it was canceled, and give it a watch nonetheless. It's entertaining and engaging fun. It is available now.

Do you remember the National Express coach we caught together, separately? And travelled south on a warm May day as we merged into conversation on the motorway? It was no Devine Comedy the 12 years that followed, but oh the early months were bliss.
Do you remember how one sizzling summer evening our neighbours finished their alfresco dinner party in stunned silence when we forgot to shut the sash? Do you remember…?
That was the year I bought you expensive chocolates, and bunches of flowers, and a soppy romantic card, and got you sexy lingerie
for our first Valentine.
I didn't need a commercial Love fest to express what I felt for you. I told to you every day,
I love you,
until the words stuck in my throat and I choked on every syllable, coughing them out with broken teeth and blood cut by every wound inflicted in the house we shared that needed to be repaired and where you resented me for what I didn't do,
and what I did, and what I… whatever.
But I suppose you felt the same way.
That was why posh chocs became a rarity and the flowers wilted in their pot; and the pink love-cards lost their hue and the lingerie got forgot
on bloody Valentine.
As our summer ended you said "I'm leaving."
I said, no.
No, I'll go.
I couldn't see the gorgeous fruit of our union dragged from his home. So I packed my belongings into boxes and moved from place to place, picking up the pieces of my shattered life, sticking them together with glue like a plastic model kit. I stood battered and beaten and a decade older, stripped bare and my confidence razed.
But I don't have to buy you chic chocolates or out-of-season flowers or oversized cards, or alluring lingerie, now you're
someone else's Valentine.
I'm no-one's macho-man: I'm not an Alpha-type and the closest I get to a six-pack is an offer from the off-license; I don't have any particular talent or skill; I don't play sport or hang-out in trendy bars or laugh at jokes with the blokes down the pub; and no-one pours cash over my incompetence.
Instead I work for just enough; do just enough; am just enough;
but I'm never man enough.
Now I look at the opposite sex and they look back
at me and see a lecherous middle-aged alien sex fiend, and choose to keep on walking not wanting from me
a box of exorbitant chocolates or an array of slaughtered flowers or a six-feet high card or red polyester knickers
for flipping Valentine.
Four drab walls surround me and deaden the sound of that commercially sanctioned
I love you.
I've wasted so many heartbeats seeking affection, only to find it in an unexpected form. I've wasted so much time seeking happiness not knowing its kernel dwells within me
and it needs constant care.
When the page of the year folds round to February I sit back and smile understanding yet another year has passed by where I've stashed my cash at the bank and not squandered it
on overpriced chocolates or blighted flowers or a silly heart-shaped card or some decadent knickers never used
beyond Valentine.

Replacing the 70s vintage Mark VIII SDV SWCS is a lot more advanced though like the Mark VIII the hull will be flooded with water when in operation to negate the need for an airlock. It will have video imagery, passive sonar, and a submerged navigation system what uses pulse doppler sonar and motion detectors to calculate the sub's position exactly so it does not need to break to the surface to get a GPS fix.

Shallow Water Combat Submersible for SBS?
The elite Special Boat Service (SBS) could be getting some new transport. Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS) is a mini-submarine that can carry 6 men for up to 100 miles. SWCS is equipped with sonar to assist detection and evasion of the enemy. The SWCS is being designed for the US Navy SEALs and could also be used for the SBS seeing as they already use the same system the Mark VIII, it is thought the mini-sub is being fast tracked for use in anti-piracy operations off Somalia.

John Cena confronts Roman Reigns ahead of WWE showdown
Raw opened with a rather brutal multi-segment storyline that resulted in a battle royal to determine the No. 1 contender for The Miz's intercontinental championship. Cesaro defeated Seth Rollins via pinfall in a match with Sheamus and Dean Ambrose at ringside. Sasha had previously lost big matches to Bayley and Charlotte Flair at that venue, but she was able to break the curse and become a four-time Raw Women's champion in the process.

Words can't describe how happy I am at this moment. Why?
Click here to see why.
For those who don't know what this means, my custom Decopaw art was selected for review by the popular (and fabulous) pamperedpuppy.com, the 'web's largest online magazine and shopping portal devoted to luxury lifestyles for dogs'.
Each month pamperedpuppy selects a handful of products to review for it's 'Merryvaluations' program. Merry is the adorable company mascot, and she gets to approve doggie products and throw in her two-cents worth.
The art review program is for Merry's mommy, the talented, sweet as pie, and uber cool Angie McKaig. It's Angie's two cents that comprise the review. Of course, Merry obliges her mom by sitting pretty for a photo next to the completed art piece, lol.
Here is the backstory on this review:
Way back in the early fall (late summer?) of 2006 Angie and I were emailing on a totally unrelated subject, when she mentioned to me that she was starting a beta program of artists reviews for the monthly Merryvaluations program, and asked if I would be interested in having my Decopaw art reviewed. "Are you kidding?" I thought. "Absolutely of course YES!". I felt so honored that she would even think of me, given the hundreds of talented pet artists out there.
So around this time last year we tried to start the process. She and I were both very busy so we played a little game of email tag, then decided it would be best for both of us to wait until 2007.
We reconnected again in February of this year, then went back and forth through email again for a couple of months and then started the process in May.
To make a very long story short, essentially life got in the way for both of us this summer, but we finally finished our art commission and I shipped off Merry's canvas (that's her in the art- how cute is she?!) to Angie in late September. Here is her winning proof, and two others that I designed. There is a 4th proof but it is a red Christmas one and just doesn't go with the pink in this post, lol.
Angie planned to post the review on December 1st, which, if I could have picked any day of the year to have my art reviewed, would have been the day. Just in time for the holidays, yipee!
Needless to say I am beyond thrilled with both the review and that I even had the opportunity in the first place. I actually cried when I read the review, and believe this is hands-down the best thing that has happened to Cowbelly/Decopaw in all of 2007.
I am so excited about this review and even more excited to share it with you, my blog audience.
And if you are a pamperedpuppy fan and have stumbled over here from my website, welcome! Hang around for awhile. You'll find all kinds of doggie photos, colorful pet art, and other fun stuff on this blog. Feel free to leave comments, let me know you are here, ask questions, or just gander to your heart's content.
Yay for pamperedpuppy!!! 🙂
