If you're a huge Becoming Jane fan, you might want to skip this YouTube clip of Abridged Classics: Becoming Jane and scroll down to the wonderful link sitting at the bottom of this post. For the rest of us, this clip provides an 8-minute tongue-in-cheek view of the movie, emphasizing Jane as a clingy, gullible female. I especially liked the waist watch observations.
As an apology to Becoming Jane fans, I have added this link. Click here and scroll to the bottom for a wonderful free surprise.

Rodgers calms injury fears over new boy Can
Brendan Rodgers has moved to allay injury fears over Emre Can's fitness after he was taken off early in the friendly victory over Preston.
The 20-year-old made the switch to Anfield from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month.
Can and fellow transfer-window recruit were both named in Liverpool's starting XI for the 2-1 victory at Deepdale on Saturday.
However, Can lasted just 20 minutes before he was replaced by Jordon Ibe due to calf complaint.
Liverpool manager Rodgers has subsequently revealed he made the switch purely as a precaution.
"Young Emre was excellent; he showed some lovely touches on the ball," Rodgers told Liverpool's official website.
"He's got power and pace. He just had a little bit of tightness in his calf, so as a precaution we took him off early on."

I'm really sad that I can't celebrate the Fourth of July here with a big old street party like I used to back home in Oregon! I live in Perth, and it's really quite sad on the 4th not being able to go an event that made my year every year growing up!
Your blog is always so unbelievably fantastic, and it's always been a favorite of mine. You are simply adorable and always write about things that warm my little heart from the inside out.
I would be delighted if such an inspirational blogger like you would check little ol' me out at my blog. I'm hosting a giveaway right now, and I would simply LOVE you to enter it.
Entirely up to you though :)
Much Love,

Gorgeous photo!
I have to work on the 4th (my weekends are Monday and Tuesday) but I think my hubby is getting Monday off, so we'll have our "fireworks" a day late - ha!
Hope you have the best 4th ever! Blue Ridge Mountains, eh? That's where my mom's people are from!

FYI: the Stars and Bars is the confederate flag. Here is a wikipedia quote - "The first official flag of the Confederacy, called the "Stars and Bars," was flown from March 5, 1861, to May 26, 1863."
Perhaps you meant Stars and Stripes?

Temple Studios
26 July
Here in the gloom you float through trees
26 July
Here in the gloom you float through trees
and down abandoned streets,
looking through windows,
nothing to stop you looking
for a stolen kiss or catching a glimpse
of a knife blade in the dark.
They know they are watched,
used to an eye always
on the back of the neck,
used to the mask they wear,
the smile set, lipstick in place.
They are used to this, to wooden walls
and doors that lead on anywhere,
to labyrinths instead of houses,
rooms of dresses that are not their own.
Used to the clothes that turn them
into other people, and the taste
of a script as it clings to the back of the throat.
The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable runs at Temple Studios until 30 December 2013

Parenting is defined as the "process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood". Nothing warm and fuzzy about that, is there? And did you notice there was no mention or even insinuation of love or of being nurturing and sacrificial? How sad is that...for everyone involved!
But like I said, it made me ask myself which one I was when my children were growing up. Was I a parent or was I a mom?
A parent supplies their children with food, clothes and a place to live. A parent makes sure their child has the necessary school supplies. A parent drops their child off at church. A parent buys what they think their child will like for Christmas...in September, and then sighs with relief that the job is done. A parent asks "how was it" because they don't take the time to go to their child's games, programs or other events. A parent makes sure their child receives the medical care they need. A parent allows the obligatory dog or cat, but that's it! A parent's involvement in their child's school is usually nothing more than dutifully attending parent/teacher conferences (maybe). A parent says things like
- Let me do it so it will be right.
- I'll do it myself so I can get done quicker.
- Getting a C in math isn't acceptable.
A mom or dad bakes cookies with their children and doesn't mind the peanut butter being smeared down the handle of the knife and packs their child's lunch for school because they don't like school food. A mom or dad feels their heart will break when they can't afford the shoes or jeans the rest of the kids are wearing and hope no one makes fun of them and that someday they will understand. A mom or dad's efforts go into making a house a home instead of being concerned about the square footage or the address. A mom or dad does without so their children can have new backpacks, "Hello Kitty" folders and money for sports fees. A mom or dad worships with their child; living the religious and moral beliefs they want their children to have. A mom or dad exchanges a doll three times in a month so Santa will leave the right one under the tree and hopes with all their heart that the gifts they give will put a smile on the face and heart of their child. A mom or dad rarely has to ask "how was it" because they were there to greet you at the finish line or broke their lawn chair bouncing up and down with excitement at the game. A mom or dad goes without sleep for days on end and lets the cares of the world care for themselves to see their child through an illness. A mom or dad digs out empty jars to house tadpoles and lightening bugs and doesn't mind that sometimes the house feels more like the zoo for wayward mice, frogs and salamanders. A mom or dad attends school events, volunteers at their child's school and checks to see if homework is done. A mom or dad says things like
- Help me do this so you'll know how.
- You dust the chairs while I do the picture frames.
- I know math is hard for you, so as long as you do your best, that's all that matters.
I'd like to believe I was (and still am) a mom and not just a parent. What about you?

Phil. 4:6 - Balance and rhythm in translation
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.The NLT wording is largely retained from that of the Living Bible, of which the NLT is a revision. I have often found that my favorite passages in the NLT are ones which retain the literary genius of the Living Bible (it can be faulted for exegetical deficiencies but there are true literary gems in the LB):
Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers.Both versions demonstrate literary beauty, with balance and rhythm in the phrasings. Both versions essentially create non-rhyming English poetry for this verse, which can be seen if we arrange the verse with one clause per line (I'll focus on the NLT now):
Don't worry about anything;Notice that the contrast between not worrying but, instead, praying, which is a part of the underlying Greek, is made clear in the first two lines of the verse. The last two lines amplify upon what the content of such prayer should be.
instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need,
and thank him for all he has done.
Only standard English syntax is used in both versions, unlike every other version I checked which is essentially literal, starting with the NIV/TNIV versions on the literal-idiomatic continuum and and continuing toward the most literal versions:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (NIV)It is non-standard English to say "by prayer and petition." This directly reflects the dative phrases of the Greek, producing a kind of English translation which I sometimes call "Gringlish." It would create more natural, clearer, and, ultimately, more communicately accurate translations if more English Bible translators would stop for each verse they are translating and ask, "What is the English translational equivalent of this Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek construction? What is the natural way that English speakers express that the biblical text is saying?"
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (TNIV)
It is also not quite standard English to say "... with thanksgiving ..." rather than using more natural English such as NLT "thank him for all he has done," TEV "with a thankful heart," NCV "always giving thanks," and GW "while giving thanks."
And it is periphrastic (not paraphastic) to say "present your requests to God." This is understandable and perhaps dignified, but it strikes many English speakers as not being quite the way they would express it. Crisper, more natural ways of saying the same thing are: NLT "Tell God what you need," GW "let God know what you need," and TEV "ask God for what you need."
Translations which clearly and naturally reflect the semantic contrasts and explanaory amplifications of the original biblical texts are easier to memorize. For me any, they stick in my mind better, settling down there so that my mind processes them longer. And that is a form of meditation, feeding on God's Word, which is a very biblical thing to do.
No English version has literary beauty in every verse. But I rejoice, yea, verily, I even exult in, and also am glad whenever I come across a wording in any English Bible version which has the literary beauty that I find in NLT Phil. 4:6.
Oh, the most important question, of course, to ask is, "Is this beautiful wording exegetically accurate?" Well, I have followed my translation consulting process of checking each phrase of the original Greek with each phrase of the NLT. Obviously, they are not in the same order. But every original piece is there. And from what I can tell, each original piece has the same meaning as that of each Greek phrase.
Finally, while it is nice to point out the beauty of this verse in the NLT, we must do more with the verse than just admire its literary qualities. Let's put Paul's teaching into practice. Let's not worry about anything (even though that is humanly natural). Instead, let's pray about everything. Let's tell God what we need. And let's thank him for what he has done, for his answers to our prayers.

Arvind Kejriwal is by far the dirtiest politician India has ever seen and this has been proved time and again. It is shocking that a person with such low moral standards has been elected as the CM of Delhi. His entire political career relies on defaming his opponents, especially PM Modi. And the list of his U-turns just keeps getting longer with each passing day.
इस पोस्ट को हिंदी ने पढने के लिए यहाँ क्लिक करे
Here is a latest clip of Kejriwal from an event that was organised to mourn and seek justice for Rohith Vemula of the Hyderabad University. See in the video how he uses expletives against leaders from the opposition and how he is provoking the people by trying to create a caste divide. See the video below.

Now watch the 'Chota Pappu' of Congress. The 'Chota Pappu' is none other than MP Jyotiraditya Scindia, who said that Afzal Guru should be arrested if he is a terrorist. But how can we arrest someone who has been dead for three years now ?! Or was Afzal Guru never hanged ? Was he deported by the Congress and the nation was fooled ? We may never know.. But see the hilarious video below which will leave you in splits.

Kejriwal also spoke about the 'fake nationalism' of the BJP and the RSS. So here is a video of what happened when a group of Congress workers stormed to the RSS office to hoist the tricolour. The true nationalists were identified after this incident. See the video below.

Fun night in Martinsville but not a fun time coming home -- we offered to bring these 2 gals to NV, then one of them said she had left her glasses in the other car, so we went to the house where she would be stopping and got stuck their yard. Had to call a wrecker and then the guy called the Sheriff about all the yard damage. What a wet place.

Finish This Important Florida Billboard?
What do you think of when you think of Florida? Beaches, sun, sand, glorious times with friends, possibly Jimmy Buffet? You probably don't think of horse slaughter & the illegal horse meat trade...

We are writing to ask for your help in getting a very important billboard up in Jupiter, Fl...
We have funds to get a board up in Okeechobee, it's a small board with a low traffic rate - but we have just been offered an AMAZING opportunity to get one up in Jupiter, Florida - which is just 88 miles north of Miami (where a lot of illegal horse slaughter goes on) it is a huge 48ft board and has a super high traffic volume, meaning it will be seen by thousands of people each day and night.
We are not funded by anyone other than you, our readers and supporters. We need to raise an additional $1850 to cover the Jupiter board...can you help us?
This is TOTALLY a grass roots, by our boot straps effort!
People cannot fix a problem they are not aware of & many people in the United States do not know thousands of horses are shipped to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered – DAILY.

We receive no federal, state or corporate funding for this awareness and educational effort.PLEASE help us raise the funds needed to get this board up.

Adam, there was this essay published in issue 265:
I think that's where some of the more "notorious" statements can be found regarding women.
Regarding the first 100-200 issues, I don't think that their can be much doubt that the level of praise directed at the craftsmanship on display there is absolutely justified. I don't know if reassessment is even necessary; I've never heard or read a bad word about the artwork or the plotting of the stories that really carried any weight. The ethics around gender issueslater on, well, most artist who give that much dedication to their work can be expected to lose touch with the outside world to some extent. Look at Steve Ditko, no-one's besmirching his achievements just because his heart went dark.

It's been a hot weekend. We stayed indoors most of the weekend and the boys decided to do very cat-like things. Bert practised his circus act. He doesn't quite have the double flip worked out but he's getting there.
Chief found napping a good activity. He also found a wonderful box to cuddle into to. One problem - the box is my "finished knit but not blocked items" box. Under him is 3 pair of socks, 2 shawls, 5 blocks to send to the Greensburg project and a few other items I can't remember. Hope the Greensburg people like cat hair!
Mystery Shawl 3
I did get the next clue of the MS3 shawl Saturday morning because Friday was busy. Saturday afternoon before I headed out to meet friends and a little time this morning were spent knitting the next part. Now - I wait till next Friday to continue this project. By the way - did you hear - we "broke" Yahoo Friday morning with everyone trying to download the next clue. http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20070706/tc_pcworld/134237;_ylt=Ap0el
Friday my new floor arrived. It has to live in the house for a couple days to get used to the climate but - Monday I will no longer need to look at the old floor. It's been around for many years. I remember the floor from high school (i.e. - early 70s) The seams were not done right and within a year the one seam started popping up. Then a little later the other seam. Dad would re-glue it every of often but it was never great. Well, I decided one of the first things I would do when I bought the house was REPLACE THE FLOOR! You'll just have to wait until Monday night to see what the new one looks like. (It's SOOOOO pretty I can hardly wait!)
Also Friday some of us got together at a friends house to watch "The Last King of Scotland". None of us had gotten around to that one and I just got it from Netflix so - instant movie party. That lead into the Saturday night supper and movie party because the other movie I got this weekend was "The Good Shepherd". We all agree Last King was excellent and Good Shepherd was good but long and at time confusing. Everyone also said the raspberry muffins I made for Friday night were good. Hey- I had raspberries sitting in the garden and 1 hour before I had to get over to their house - what else do you do but run out, pick berries and make muffins.

1) I'm tired.
2) I still have an amazing amount of 464 stuff to finish (?>!#@#%$#@#)
3) I think I have my entire wedding planned. All I need now is a groom. tee-hee!!
4) Seriously. I want a red/yellow wedding. And then I realized if I marry a Marine one day? I have a moto colored wedding. God damn it all. DID NOT do this on purpose.
5) I need my boyfriend more than ever right now (I assume it's vice versa). And he's being a super Marine down at MCRD in San Diego. I don't have time to get on the train to go visit. Screw that!
6) I heard the phrase "Cool your jets!" today. Haven't used or heard that phrase in years.
7) What happens to people AFTER they graduate from school??
8) Why are all my friends getting married and making babies? I had this weird dream that I seriously woke up 6 months pregnant one morning. Didn't know how or when that happened. Thought about calling Drew but then decided it would freak him out and he'd drop the phone and pass out and whack his head or something and SOMEHOW I'd be responsible for maiming government property.
9) I'm loving that I have to attend a workshop called "How to Find a Job in a Recession". Good to know that we're practically in the dark ages again.
10) Drew suggested I get a job in Healthcare PR at one of the Naval Hospitals. OOH! There's an idea.
11) My mom reminded me that the government is broke and as such: I'll be broke. But tell me something I'm not already aware of. I'm in the negative right now so it can't get much worse.
12) I hate being sleep deprived. I'm honest to God going to sleep in my car for a good 4 hours tomorrow afternoon
13) I think my group and I are about ready to start throwing back a few stiff ones. Irony? We're doing a campaign against binge drinking among college students.
14) I'm almost done with ARPR!

Gina is a wild life biologist, spends a lot of time outdoors, spends her free time going to classes and workshops and REALLY knows her stuff. In addition to being a spinner, knitter, stitcher, and weaver, she teaches dying classes at fiber festivals and at the Stillwater Multi-Arts Center. The Guild was fortunate to have Gina do a presentation for us.
The Guild got the benefit of Gina's in depth knowledge as she presented a program for all the senses, except taste. (Annie brought king cakes to share, so taste got covered elsewhere). We got to see a slideshow presentation, listen to Gina speak, and touch and feel samples of wool fabric and yarn she has dyed. In addition, Gina had a dyepot going on an electric burner as she demonstrated the color achieved by dying with pomegranate rinds. Displaying a bit of dyer's alchemy, Gina added a pinch of iron to the pot and viola! and got a deeper richer color of the gold-ish green produced by pomegranate rinds.
Afterward, Guild members got to leaf through Gina's books, shake bottles of lichens, walnut hulls, pulverized bark, and flower buds used for dying while asking Gina repeatedly,
"what color does this make?"
If you want to make your own colors--and you know you do--you can buy natural dye products, mordants, books, etc from Gina.
--You can see (or buy) Gina's dyed fabric and wool or dying materials at her Etsy store--link HERE.
--You can read about Gina's adventures in her blog: link HERE.
-- Other contact information for Gina is available in the February Newsletter, the link for which is found in the post previous to this.

I love how this one almost feels like it doubles as a work space, the chairs and lighting are incredible.
I like that nothing about this room looks planned. I like the outdoor style chairs, the lighting, the white floors, and the window (inside the house) looking into that room.
I like these chairs with that beautiful wood table, and of course the white floor.
I love all three of these casual dining rooms. As I've mentioned before I have no dining table in my apt because I really have no room for it. If my wife and I aren't eating outside we are usually folded in half eating over the coffee table. Oh well.

You could say that colonial a brick exterior and pillars provide a regal look to the stately entry of the 3,227-square-foot Herman (402-59).
You could say that colonial a brick exterior and pillars provide a regal look to the stately entry of the 3,227-square-foot Herman (402-59).
This spacious home is perfect a growing family or one with teenagers. The main floor has 1,926 square feet and the daylight basement has 1,309 square feet.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-story home has been designed for a lot that slopes down from the front so that only the top floor is visible from the street.
Yet the rear of the home has a deck with a railing that runs two-thirds across the rear, second story and makes the backyard accessible by stairway from the top, main floor.
Visitors access the Herman across the front porch and through the covered entry into a spacious combined living-dining room underneath a vaulted ceiling. The great room is made more spectacular by a fireplace with a large hearth and two sets of double doors leading out onto the elevated rear deck.
Separated from the great room by an eating bar is the kitchen, which is equipped with a dishwasher, double sink and walk-in pantry. The pantry has adjustable shelves for the storage of various items besides food.
The bedrooms are scattered throughout the house. The vaulted master bedroom is in the right front of the home and features a large walk-in closet. French doors open from the master bedroom out to a second covered deck. The full master bathroom has a whirlpool tub, shower and dual sinks.
The remaining two bedrooms are on the left and each contains a wall closet. There is a full bathroom in the hallway nearby.
The two-car garage is upstairs and has room for a small work area or for the storage of lawn mowers, bikes, etc. A door from the garage leads directly into the utility room, which houses the washer and dryer and a sink.
Off the entry is the stairs to the daylight basement. Downstairs, there is a large recreation room with a wet bar and eating bar. This room opens onto a small concrete patio area that leads to the stairway that accesses the deck above.
The other main room in the basement is the family room, with a fireplace in one corner, and a full bathroom and two linen closets. Through a door off the entry to the bathroom is a large storage room with a smaller storage area nearby. Either of these areas could be used for bedrooms if needed.

The other day I looked over to discover that Gracie was "building" Joseph a house. A house of umbrellas and other various items.
He was enjoying himself.
Then William realized what was going on and joined in on the fun and I threw our painting sheet over them. They were in heaven.
Next thing I know Gracie pops out with William's Easter bow tie on her head. I had to force her to let me take a picture of her.
So that is how the last couple of days have gone, pretty chill and lots of play. We have been having a good time. That is the calm, now here comes the storm.
Tomorrow (Friday) my brother Mark will start moving all of their belongings out of this room (below).
This will then become our family room. This is very exciting, except that we don't have furniture to put in it and not really any money to buy any...so we will see what happens. We did get it painted already. A dark gray called Cement from Martha Stewart, but we got the Behr paint plus primer and one gallon and one coat took care of the whole room! That is a big deal cause it is a big room.
Last week we painted my new craft room/guest room Driftwood Gray. It is a lighter gray and again we really love it.
There is still so much to do, but I can not even tell you how excited I am about this space.
I have to move everything out of the office into here. The office is currently "the room that must not be named". It has been so bad for so long. The problem being that there are far to many things without a place in this room (cause it was temporary). But now everything will have a place. EVERYTHING! Sorry I don't mean to shout, I am just really excited about this. I really love my house. Now pictures of the room that must not be named. I am only showing these because I hope to wow you all with some really amazing after pictures.
And, Saturday (while they are still moving) I will be throwing Gracie's birthday party that I don't really feel ready for. I am sure this weekend is going to be nuts! But it is the good kind of nuts. Lots of happy things.
I love my house! Did I already say that?

Globe Pequot Press. 2012. c288p. illus. index. ISBN 978-0-7627-7950-5. $19.95.
In this lavishly-illustrated (more than 250 full-color photographs) guide, Jaques (Bachelor of Arts, History, Stanford University; Master of Business Administration, University of California at Los Angeles), a journalist specializing in art and travel and a gallery docent at The J. Paul Getty Museum, introduces readers to art collections in fifty lesser-known American museums. Covering museums in thirty-one states with "geography" factoring into her selection process, the author showcases "diverse" museum collections that remain "hidden" or "under-the-radar" to many museum goers, even though they may be located on the "beaten path" or in "plain sight." (p. xii) Not known for their blockbuster exhibitions or encyclopedic holdings, these "unsung," "largely unknown" museums constitute "collecting" museums that display "extraordinary" art from their permanent collections and "tend to be exceptional in specific areas." (pp. xii-xiii) They typically offer "unique" art-viewing experiences that are "genuine, intimate, and uncrowded." (p. xii) Jaques organizes her book into fifteen chapters, each of which features three or four museums that have extraordinary collections in certain areas. She titles chapters: African, Pre-Columbian & Oceanic Art; American Art; Ancient Art; Asian Art; Contemporary Art; Decorative Arts, Design & Craft; European Painting, Eighteenth to Twentieth Century; Medieval, Renaissance & Baroque Art; Modern Art; Native American & Western Art; Photography; Sculpture; Single-Artists; and Spanish & Latin American Art. In each entry for a museum, Jaques describes the museum, its founder(s), buildings, collections, and history. The author also sets forth each institution's address, contact information, website, hours of operation, and admission fee(s) as well as briefly highlights a few of its "must see" pieces. Of interest mostly to art lovers and travelers, this accessible, artfully- designed, engaging, informative, nicely- written, thoughtful, and well-presented publication by an experienced writer, traveler, and museum aficionado may be read from cover-to-cover and/or consulted by chapter and/or entry. While Jaques's selection criteria and classification scheme may seem too arbitrary, inexplicit, personal, subjective, and/or superimposed for some readers, this book nevertheless belongs in many public, academic, and special libraries. It is recommended for individual readers as well as for library reference collections. Review copy. Availability: Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com

Every year, the SBA hosts National Small Business Week. Here's why it matters — and what's in it for you.
Continue Reading Below
Owning a business comes with its own rewards. We all know what they are — we make our own rules, we answer to no one (except our customers and clients), and we (most of us, anyway) love what we do.
Yet sometimes being an entrepreneur can feel like a thankless job. There's no one to talk to when you've done good work, no pats on the back, no boss to give you extra time off. In short, there's no one to salute you.
Honoring America's top entrepreneurs
But at least one week a year, it is all about you. Since 1963 — when President John Kennedy established the first National Small Business Week — the Small Business Administration (SBA) has celebrated what Susan Walthall, director of community relations at the SBA, calls the "cream of the crop" of America's small-business owners. Small Business Week is, according to Walthall, the "opportunity to, once a year, draw attention to the contributions small businesses make to the economy."
From May 16 to May 20, people all across the nation will celebrate entrepreneurship. This includes a chance to recognize some of the nation's most diligent small-business owners.
The main event takes place May 18 to 20 in Washington, D.C., where winning entrepreneurs from every state — plus the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico — will be honored as their state's top business owners; attend forums about high-growth strategies, exporting and social media (full disclosure: I will be participating in this panel); and compete to be named the National Small Business Person of the Year.
Check with your local SBA office to see if it will also be holding celebrations that week (some do it later so their state winners can attend).
Watch it live
If you can't attend in person, the event, whose theme this year is "Empowering Entrepreneurs," will also be webcast live (and archived) so you can learn along with the award winners. Before you scoff and assume this is just a waste of time, think again. I've attended several Small Business Week events over the years, and the winning entrepreneurs always come away excited, educated and eager to take their businesses to the next level — and that's exactly the point.
Walthall says the state winners, while "humbled to be honored," are among those who "drive innovation, create 21st-century jobs, and increase U.S. competitiveness." As entrepreneurs, we're all part of that group.
Walthall adds, "These are the business owners growing their businesses, adding jobs and working hard to get their businesses to the next level." And this year, she notes, the state winners are particularly diverse. In fact, a quick look at the list of winners shows quite an array of businesses, ranging from restaurants and cafes to home cleaning companies, small manufacturers and technology businesses.
Personally, I can't wait to meet the owner of a water park in (of all places) North Dakota, and to catch up with two of my favorite women entrepreneurs: Washington's Anne-Marie Faiola, whose Bramble Berry company sells soap-making supplies, and Katrina Markoff from Illinois, who founded Vosges Haut-Chocolat, maker of some of the best- (and most exotic-) tasting chocolate I've ever had.
Why Small Business Week matters
President Kennedy had great foresight back in 1963 when he created that first National Small Business Week. After all, back then, while there certainly were a lot of small businesses (my dad owned one, for example), the American (business) dream focused on jockeying for position and climbing the corporate ladder. If you don't believe me, just watch a few episodes of "Mad Men."
More than a few years ago, I wrote a column saying small-business owners were like Rodney Dangerfield — they got no respect. And while America's entrepreneurs are held in higher esteem than they were 15 years ago, we still don't command the respect we've actually earned.
Too many people today use small-business owners as pawns to advance their own personal agendas, without really giving us what we truly need to innovate and create jobs. There's a lot of talking at and about us, instead of with us.
So I think it's wonderful that at least for one week, all eyes will be on American small-business owners — and after America is done saluting us, maybe it'll start listening to what we have to say.

Yesterday I received a comment about this old post from back in October. So since my data indicates that most of my loyal readers are of the female persuasion, I thought it might be of interest to bring it out again for the new visitors.
I have had several requests to include more gurly-girl stuff. So here goes. I hope this is gurly-girl enough for you. We're going to look at women's hosiery.
Prior to 1937, 88% of women's stocking were made of pure silk. The silkworms were racing each other to see who could produce the most silk, but they always ended up in a tie. (hahaha)
Then along came Dr. Wallace Carothers of Du Pont. He is credited as the inventor of nylon. "Nylons," as they were soon called, eventually replaced silk stockings. Keep in mind that these nylons did not resemble the "pantyhose" women wear today. They differed in several ways.
First of all, they covered only about two-thirds of a woman's leg, from the feet to mid-thigh, and they were held up by garters and a belt. Women could buy them in either "full-fashioned" form with seams at the back or "seamless." Also, because nylon didn't stretch, it was necessary to manufacture them in different sizes.
When America entered World War II, both silk and nylon were commandeered by the federal government (specifically the War Production Board) to supply defense needs. Overnight, stockings made of any materials became hard to find. Nylon became important to the war effort because it was used in parachutes and tires. On the home front, the popular press presented nylon as a miracle of technology that Americans could again enjoy when the war ended.
Since stockings were hard to get, there was a thriving Black Market. Stocking were a popular gift from US soldiers for the ladies back home. It was during this time that women began painting seams on the back of their legs so it appeared as if they were wearing stockings.
When the war ended in 1945, nylon was again available to Americans. When the announcement was made, Macy's sold out their entire stock of 50,000 pairs of nylon stockings in six hours. At the same time, 40,000 women stood in line in a torrential downpour in Pittsburgh to buy theirs.

The Card Concept # 20
12 comments:

text: Hey all, I'm currently using Chrome with the latest update and running Windows 7. However, when I try to download something it will be a really fast download for about 30 mb then it will just stop. I can't restart the download but when i try to download it again it will go for about the same time, maybe a little longer or shorter, then stop again. This just happened and I need to download something for school. Any ideas? My roommate using the same connection can download things and I've tried switching networks but the same thing still happens. Thanks

President Obama is slated to present the new regulations set forth by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for the ever-popular and often predatory payday loan industry. The speech, to be given today in Birmingham, Alabama, in addition to presenting the regulations will also tout the young agency that put them together. The CFPB was a part of the 2010 D0dd-Frank financial law. Their mission is to "make markets for consumer financial products and services work for Americans—whether they are applying for a mortgage, choosing among credit cards, or using any number of other consumer financial products." For People like Carl Anthony Vaughn II these regulations come a little too late.
Carl's first experience with payday loans (90 percent of payday loan business is repeat customers) was for $400 in 2009. "Because of the interest, I owed about $475 by the time I got my next paycheck. Because of that, I had to take out another loan for about $375 just to cover everything. This occurred for about two months, until I had to get a tire replaced on my car. That made is so that I couldn't continue paying the loan".
Payday loans are designed to offer short-term relief to cash-strapped customers, often with loans designed to bridge the gap between paydays and are often set to be repaid within 45 days. You can get cash loans from Perfect Payday and other companies with good practice track records, but on the whole however, payday loans are often guilty of predatory practices that result in payments that equal the sum of the loan many times over and leave borrowers with a massive, often unpayable debt. According to the Center for Responsible Lending, "a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that works to protect home ownership and family wealth by fighting predatory lending practices," the average payday loan interest rate is between 391 to 521 percent. In comparison the average personal bank loan can average up to 20 percent.
As Vaughn explains "The interest bumped it back up to over $500 until I got sent to collections because of it. I never tallied up the total amount that I'd paid to them, but it was easily about $500 in interest alone".
The CFPB regulations would require short-term lenders who offer payday and title loans to ensure that borrowers can repay the loans a fashion similar to standard longer term loans. In addition, the regulations would ensure that lenders provide affordable options instead of the current loan packages with exorbitant interest rates. In a statement, CFPB Director Richard Cordray said "Too many short-term and longer-term loans are made based on a lender's ability to collect and not on a borrower's ability to repay. The proposals we are considering would require lenders to take steps to make sure consumers can pay back their loans. These common sense protections are aimed at ensuring that consumers have access to credit that helps, not harms them."
For borrowers like Vaughn the results of predatory payday loans can be financially devestating "My credit score suffered, making it more difficult to do almost anything financial. The bank account that I had went into negative until they closed it down. Because of that, I had to go elsewhere to get another account, and they would only let me get a starter account (meaning I had to pay $75 per month for the account for a year and I could only spend $200 per day through the account). I finally dug my way out of it back in 2012″.
Payday lenders have found themselves under great scrutiny as of late due to a number of borrower horror stories. Payday lenders are also finding themselves in an array of legal trouble. MoneyMutual, a payday lender made popular by their spokesperson Montel Williams was recently fined for misconduct in New York relating to their absorbent APR's which ranged from 261 to over 1,300 percent interest. Unlicensed lenders by law are capped at 16 percent interest while licensed lenders are capped at 25 percent.
Following the proposal of the CFPB payday regulations time will be set for public and industry commentary at which point the regulations as proposed will be made final.

We have had a run of orders on our Going to Market Basket pattern over the past few weeks. When I asked some of the customers where they had seen it, a few of their favorite blogs were mentioned. We want to both acknowledge and thank them for the promotion. It was fun viewing their blogs and I found myself getting caught up in the moment (or should I say hours) of jumping from one to another. I think I now fully understand the excitement over these delightful online spaces to share and stay connected with others. Yikes, in a matter of minutes I found myself clicking from quilting to knitting, artisan bread baking and cupcakes (also a few of my passions). This can be dangerous, but in a good way. I need to stop and get some work done. If you are not familiar with these blogs, please take a few minutes to visit them, as they are wonderful: www.fredashive.blogspot.com, www. mrsschmenkmanquilts.wordpress.com, www.okperisplace.blogspot.com and www.quiltinspiration.blogspot.com.
Let us know if you have a favorite blog you like to visit.
Until next time, enjoy blogging!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I really had fun with this quilt and was glad to take a class with it. As soon as I saw the picture of your quilt I knew I had to make it. Some of the ladies in my class did not opt for the black and white handles. I think it was a mistake. The baskets were still cute but they just didn't pop like the black and white handles. I'm glad some of my readers came to buy the pattern from you. I've had a lot of interest in this quilt!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the mention and for your visit! Such of a treat of a pattern -- making those curved handles is still magical. :-) I believe that Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! was the first quilting book I ever purchased. It has never been put in quilt book storage (you know, for lack of bookshelf space). Still one of the very best books! Thanks!!ReplyDelete

a drawing a day
I bought myself a Moleskine sketchbook. It's my first one - I've always resisted buying one because they're expensive, and I figured they couldn't really be all that much better... right?
Well, so far it's pretty sweet. I love how thick and smooth the paper is. As you can see, I have high expectations of what this new sketchbook will do for me. Heh.
I've set a challenge for myself: I'm going to draw something in my sketchbook every single day for the next month. Partly, I want to make sure I actually use my fancy-pants Moleskine. But mostly, I've fallen out of drawing in the past few months, and really want to get back into it, and get better.
I probably won't post my drawings here everyday, but I figure I'm more likely to stick to my Drawing-A-Day challenge if I tell you about it.

Iran's maniac-in-chief says Iran is already a "nuclear state," adding that it does not intend to attack Israel and that Iran's arms buildup is purely defensive. The new Hitler also accused "Zionists" of trying to deceive the world and attempting to take control of major money centers. Read more.
Given Iran's atomic advances and relationship with nuclear-armed North Korea, why should the world assume that Iran does not already possess nuclear weapons of some sort--a slew of dirty bombs, say?

Southern Salads, based in Kent in the UK has recently installed two Novus 350s to pack their Iceberg lettuce and other leaves. This installation is part of a major investment in their processing and packing facility.
Southern Salads is a hugely successful family run business. Starting life off in markets in London, CEO & founder Ray Boakes developed the business by supplying shredded lettuce to multinational high street restaurant chains and has continued to serve this market ever since.
Southern Salads is a long-standing Hayssen Flexible Systems' customer who utilise several intermittent Sandiacre TG 320 machines to pack their products. When they decided to move forward with continuous motion packing, it was a logical move to choose Hayssen Flexible Systems' machinery. Their new Novus produce specification machines have been specifically designed to improve speeds, pack integrity and decrease maintenance and servicing costs against current machines.
The unique product stager device prevents product from getting into the end seals and the Novus' Quali-seal jaws offer extended sealing times and increased pack seal integrity. The Novus's independent bag squeezer reduces oxygen levels in the bag, while the gas flushing feature slows down bacterial growth, increasing the longevity of the product's shelf life. "Hayssen Flexible Systems' ability to supply machines with a guaranteed increase in output and seal integrity was a key decision making factor to help us better serve our customers," says Andrew Boakes, Managing Director at Southern Salads.
Andrew Boakes explains further "Having experienced Hayssen Flexible Systems' outstanding after sales service support for many years it was an easy decision to continue our relationship with them. Their technical team are always readily available to give support and advice which we highly value."

APR-27 When one googles the word "apocalypse" the first result is the Wikipedia entry for Apocalypse. According to our Wikifriends, it is, and I quote: "a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception." Ironically we live in the information age.
What happens when everything is available? When memory is more important for your electronic gadgets than your mind?When people can go on for months socializing through an online social network, and when not socializing, occasionally dropping in unseen, to catch up by viewing photos, or reading statuses. Classes on youtube, forums for any topic imaginable, downloadable PDFs, pirated books and documentaries. When instead of remembering, you simply refer to google or bing via your pc, laptop, or phone. What happens when we have all the info yet we still don't know anything.
I had forgotten that Apocalypse means Revelation. Its very easy to forget this when Apocalypse has become synonymous with the end of the world. One imagines destruction, chaos, fire and avenging angels, seven-headed serpents, and other biblical cartoons--But the truth is simple and far more powerful, it means revelation. The revealing of Truth, the revealing of The Real. Its more Catharsis than Doomsday.
I am not religious or even spiritual. I will die and I am absolutely comfortable with that being that. I belief in individuals, I belief in the universe of the individual. Each person will have their catharsis, their day of reckoning with The Truth, every individual will one day face an Apocalypse. Maybe you'll read this and fight it, scoff and laugh on the outside. But within, internally, a spark has been ignited--one, you immediately recognize, in that dark side of your brain's moon, where you hide all the things inconvenient.
For some, this cleansing is a marvelous opus of relief, however painful or overwhelming--for others, it might as well be the end of the world. For the insecure, for the weak, for the leeches and vultures, for whom confidence never dresses, for whom happiness is never independent--for these, the Truth is plague, revelation is a burning mirror that snaps off their flesh entirely in one bite. They fight the Apocalypse until they die and they still lose. They are fragments, never whole.

-Can you tell a little bit about yourselves?
Hi I'm Kimberly S. Lockett :), Sup everybody I'm Keyondra. We were both born and raised in Shreveport, La.
My (Keyondra) field is in Telecommunications. I graduated with my Associates Degree in the Summer of '09 and will be attending the Art Institute-Atlanta in the Spring of 2011 to obtain my Bachelors in Advertisement!
I (Kim) just recently graduated (Spring 2010) with my BS of Psychology! I'm going back to school to get my MA of Community Counseling w/ a Concentration in Marriage and Family Counseling! The only counseling experience that I have is the summers that I was a peer counselor for a Summer camp! I'm currently looking for social service jobs in the Atlanta area.
-What type of items do you sell?
We specialize in crystallized eyewear but we also offer non-crystallized eyewear and other accessories such as feather earrings (ChariD) and RGS handmade shoulder pads!
-What are your favorite/best selling items from your line?
Well my (Kim) favorite pair are a unisex pair, the Frankies.
And my (Keyondra) favorite are a male pair, the Zekes.
We don't have a BEST seller because its kind of random. People have picks and chooses all across the board!
-Who are your favorite designers?
We happen to have the same favorite designers! We absolutely love Betsey Johnson and Juicy Couture. They are so chic and classic, they are our inspirations!
-What entertainers would you LOVE to see rocking your designs?
I'd (Kim) love to see the Disney Channel stars rocking RGS eyewear! lol Crazy but true... Put those babies in something and all of their fans will want them too! Namely HM (Miley Cyrus) and Demi Lovato!
And I'd (Keyondra) like to see Soulja Boy in a pair of the crystallized frames. To see him running across the stage blinging from eye to chest (crystallized medallion) would be hilarious!
-Name at least 5 things a diva should have in her wardrobe at ALL TIMES [including accessories and cosmetic products].
**Keyondra's List**
Pair of pumps! Duh lol
Skinny Jeans (Dark Denim)
Oversized bag
Great insurance (Spanx)
Anything Bath and Body Works
**Kim's Top 5**
Dang, we can only name 5?! lol
Yes, pumps (bold color)
Black power dress
Oversized bag... Agreed
Chunky bangles
Lip/Eye primer (for eye shadows and lip colors)
-Name least 5 things a diva should NEVER leave the house with.
Lip gloss / Conditioning lip balm
Sunglasses (RGS lol)
Since its winter we'll say a scarf
Communication device (iPhone!!! Anything else is bogus! lol j/k)
-Outside of the fashion world, what else are you passionate about?
I (Keyondra) am very passionate about my faith in God, which is one of the reasons why we're doing this is to reach the masses. When the world sees that you can look good, be in the family of faith, and you can live according to God's standards they'll follow after Him. They feel like in order to live the "good" life you can't be associated with Christianity. We're here to show them that they can.
I (Kim) am also very passionate about the Lord and people! I'm no tree hugger by the stretch of any imagination, but get me some people with some problems and I'll talk with them and minister to them with the love of God! I have a heart for His people and His will and I plan to keep it that way. That's another reason that RGS is so great for this time because so many people feel like they can't go on or do greater things. But we're going to be the examples and true living testimonies that through God all things are possible!
-Where do you see yourselves 5 years from now?
I (Kim) see myself being a successful psychologist, married and having at least one child! lol I also see RGS being a household brand!
I (Keyondra) will have my B.A. in Advertising, working successfully in my field, and definitely married... well, I better be! lol And RGS shall be flourished and well known in all industries!
If someone wants check out your line, how can they contact you?
Well they can always find our product on the website http://www.TheRedGlassesSisters.com. If they have any other needs our email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Where can we find you on the web?
You can find us on http://www.twitter.com/rgsisters and Facebook Fan Page for The Red Glasses Sisters Online Boutique http://www.facebook.com/rgsisters!
You can find me (Kim) on http://www.facebook.com/KimLockett. I also have a fashion blog http://rgs-fashionology.blogspot.com/. I have some great changes coming up for the new year! :D
And you can find me (Keyondra) on http://www.facebook.com/
Thank you SO MUCH ladies for taking time out of your hectic schedules to do this interview. I'm more than honored! Blessings to the both of you, grand success, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Phew! Asteroid's passing was a cosmic near-miss
I guess I have this unrealistic expectation that the night sky is being watched for asteroids. And apparently for the really big ones, like a kilometer or bigger, we are. We would see this coming for several years. What we would do about it is another story, but at least we'd see it coming.
We saw this one coming on Friday. And it was closest to the Earth on Monday. No time to send Bruce Willis to save us in that time. It came within 45,000 miles which sounds like a lot, but that is about twice as high as our satellites. Five times closer than the Moon to Earth. Too close.
And a curious thought comes to mind. Why did we not hear about this?? You would think this would be a great story. Another fear mongering and sensationalistic story that typifies current media.
What damage might this have done?? This is a 20-30 yard hunk of rock. We're probably not talking mass extinction, but we are talking serious aftermath. We could very well have had a catastrophe on our hands, depending on where it hit.
More eyes on the skies please.

Total assets at U.S. commercial banks swelled to $11.12 trillion in early April, up from $9.94 trillion a year ago, according to Federal Reserve data that are updated every Friday. Last month, the growth rate of bank assets hit its fastest growth pace in 28 years.As Mark states, one of the problems that occurred in the CMBS market was that lenders were not keeping an interest in the loans they originated. They were just producing the paper to package into a stream of CMBS offerings. Banks forgot that they were making loans and that the loans would have to be managed.
Prior to the CMBS, when negotiating documents, the "no" response was that the change would reduce the value of the paper. I was not hearing that it would affect the lender's ability to manage the loan.

Interesting Video on How to Flip a Retreat
Retreating to a farm is one thing but it has to be in the context of a community with a team of LE/Rangers (Texas type)/light cavalry to run constant patrols and act as a fast reaction team. The place to stop people like this is before they enter your Zone, community territory, or village proper.
The problem then becomes how do you pay them? They will have to be supported by the community through taxation. You can call it tithe, tribute, or a donation but in the end it is a tax. One you will be happy to pay at first.

After I watched this my first thought was I need more ammo. Lot's more!ReplyDelete
You are correct. They took this right out of the Ranger manual. Anyone near the I-35 corridor should take heed. The place to stop this would be at your border.
Damn some of those guys were ugly!

This is stupid in a post-collapse scenario. Sooner or later the scavengers will run out of supplies and food because they will have wiped out all the groups growing food and producing supplies (even if it's just clothing and shoes). So it's ultimately self-defeating behavior. Scavengers this stupid won't be around long.ReplyDelete

"A Musical Mind"
Click to enlarge...
I was just looking through some old pics and came across this…It's some artwork of mine that I did a long time ago now…it was originally just a doodle that I drew by hand… I often doodle:) I then scanned it into the computer at some point. When designing the original CD artwork for "But First…This Song"(Now recently released as "The Godsend Sessions") I was going to use this for something…probably somewhere on the inside booklet…I guess I will still use it for the physical release of my CD "The Godsend Sessions" which should be coming soon.
Some time back…I was a member of a website called talentdatabase.com and I titled the work "A Musical Mind" and uploaded it there…it was then given an award and featured on the main page! :) Some of my wonderful artist friends and also many artists that I began to meet online showed me alot of support and encouragement and seemed to really like it and wanted to see more of my work and so called "Doodles". The website soon shutdown and disappeared…but then I put it up on deviantart.com…It is also available at my cafepress store as a ceramic tile coaster…and from what some friends and fans have told me it really looks cool as a design for that…like a mosaic tile…My deviantart link is: http://joegande.deviantart.com/Please visit and comment and if you have a page there with your work let me know and connect with me there…I'd really love to know what you all think and get some feedback…Thank you!Love,Joe

The Musician's Social Club's Blog Talk Radio Show Joe Gande Interview/Feature
Thanks to all that tuned in,joined us in the chat room there, called in or caught the show later...I really appreciate all the kind words, thoughts and messages about my music!:)
I think this is the first time I've done one of these phone in podcast interviews...and after this experience I think I will definitely be doing some more...
Leasa was an awesome host! We talked about some things...she played a few of my songs and people called in... So glad I got to chat with one of my longtime online friends...the talented Singer/Songwriter Tommie Brewster!
Thanks for calling in Tommie and for your awesome questions!
I Loved chatting with everyone in the chat room too..it was great!
Many of you that really know me may know that I'm not that fond of the phone in general and can be pretty phone shy:) Unless of course I happen to be rambling or ranting and raving about a subject that I am passionate about!:)LOL
Except for when I am singing...I think I sound pretty goofy...you know..like when you're a kid and you hear yourself played back on a tape recorder for the first time and don't even recognize yourself and say "That's me?"!:)
But...Leasa asked...and she made me feel really comfortable about the whole idea...so I thought that I would give it a shot...Here is the result...

Joe Gande - BUT FIRST....THIS SONG (The Godsend Sessions)
Every once in a while I run across a rocker that I just can't take my ears off of.
Joe's finely crafted high-energy CD tunes, vocal and guitar skills far exceed the "average band" these days... in fact, cuts like "Can't See My Life" take me back to my earliest experiences with bands that made the heart soar.
It's really nice to hear such strong talent in today's (often) diluted energy field... none of that on Gande's efforts, to be sure!
There is a superb taste of the unique on tunes like "Lost Her Head", though I would have preferred it be a bit longer than 3:44 (especially that funky/dow-un bass line that's drivin' it).
The tune that gets my vote as favorite on this set of songs, though, is the 6:08 "Godsend".
Artist names runnin' through my head like Joe Cocker (for the vocals) and Robin Trower...
as I listen to the swirlingly cosmic guitar lines at about 3:00; absolute KILLER rock with the kind of punch that will drive you straight into the edges of the oblivion you've been seeking all these many years!
This is more than just being "impressed" - I'm inspired by Joe's excellent music, & give him my MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially for listeners whose roots reach out of the "normal jazz mode" into the kind of stellar energies that drive the universe. He gets an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.98, too.

The Independent Music Scene: Joe Gande Review
New Review featured now...Written by Paul Ruth of "The Independent Music Scene"...Joe Gande
Joe Gande is a rock, hard rock, blues artist and songwriter from New York, New York. His music holds the excitement that you would expect from the genre. Basically the sound is the full package. It is dynamic, soulful, smooth, but heavy. A great layer of sound the intensifies as the songs go on. Joe provides an experience for just about anyone who likes music. It is not common that I find a person of this kind of talent. Check out more info on his official page: http://www.joegande.com/
Songs I like are "25 Hours", and "Brighter Day". they can be found at his Reverb page: http://www.reverbnation.com/joegande

I am a huge Lenny Kravitz fan and you have a quality in your music that is similar to Lenny...the passion shines through and the lyrics are very real. I think you have the 'raw energy' quality and it transfers into your music... I don't need to see you perform to know that you captivate the audience. Actually the more you listen to the more mind blowing it gets. Plz link on myspace.com/jazmkz and I will put u in my top frenz."

text: So the NFL is thinking about helmet cams for key players. Not sure what for, but im pretty sure its just for an "in game" experience. They're taking things too far in my opinion it's fine how it is. If they want more of an in game experience why dont they just let people play?
