Why Should Natural & Organic Healing Clinic Win this Award?
No business is perfect but after serving 2463+ people our 4.9/5 average customer review rating clearly indicates our dedication in Registered Herbal and Registered Massage Therapy. Natural & Organic Healing Clinic family business has been operating since 2010.
Heartbreaking Story Behind the Founding of the Clinic
The reason why we founded this clinic goes all the way back when our founder Dr. Sally Wu had her father pass away from conventional medicine when she was 7 years old. Her father's untimely death left her feeling very sad, it had a strong impact through her childhood, which left her feeling unfair and having to do something about it. Dr. Sally Wu worked as a young manager in a big pharmaceutical company in her twenties, where she realized the potential harmful side effects of conventional medicine and its limitations in solving the root cause. Wanting to find more ways to heal the body, she pursued holistic medicine in studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Herbal Medicine. Since then, Dr. Wu has treated over 3000 clients in her practice.
Client's Story: From a Hopeless Tragedy (Not Capable Of Taking Care Of Kids & Work) To a Full Recovery With Herbal Treatment
A female client who was a dentist and a single mother with two children had insomnia that led to depression from the lack of sleep. She was taking high dosages of sleeping pills and still had difficulty falling asleep and even staying asleep. The lack of good sleep was so bad that the dentist had to stop her practice, which was tragic because she was raising two children by herself and she was needed to work. She sought out many doctors to help her with her insomnia and depression, which often led to just more pills. After being referred by a friend to Dr. Sally Wu, the dentist was able to have a full recovery – go back to work, stop taking antidepressants and sleeping pills and she was able to take care of the kids.
Dr. Sally Wu's Credentials (Founder)
Dr. Sally Wu also has a PhD in Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Post-graduate degree from Alternative Natural Medicine College of Canada, she is also a Registered Herbal Therapist from The Canadian Herbalist of British Columbia and a Licensed Chinese Medicine Doctor in China, along with a certification from American Association of Drugless Practitioners. In addition, Dr. Sally Wu has been featured on Hawaii Chinese News 檀報 to talk about the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal therapy. Currently she practices in Vancouver, Hawaii and is able to do herbal consultations online.

Elana Wu's Credentials (Owner)
The current owner of the clinic Elana Wu, Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and best-selling author of Your Health is Your Wealth, has been featured on Tri-Cities Community Television to speak on the topic of human performance and habits.
Myth Buster
People think that massage is to just to help them relax, but here we solve pain with unique techniques, of course, no treatment is perfect, but after treating people who have tried everything to relieve their neck, shoulder, back chronic muscular pain, and haven't had results, our clinic has been able to solve the problems, even headaches because most headaches happen to be caused by muscular tension.
Why we don't Advertise
With RMT we solve pain in 60 minutes or less or severe pain in just a few short visits and clients tell everybody else to come, which explains our 4.9 average rating after serving 2463+ people. Client's pain could be from car accidents, work injuries, sports injuries. We also relieve pre or post-natal discomfort help with stress management and injury prevention. Our massage treatments dedicate to the individual needs of each and every patient and select the appropriate treatment systems to solve pain.

now the strange thing is that I never intended studying embroidery!
In the eighties I made a couple of rag dolls and stitched one kit, prior to that I has taken art O and A levels, late eighties I picked up on bobbin lace which was later abandoned until recently and got caught up in the cross stitch trend as it swept across the UK. Completed a few kits, designed my own pictures, discovered black work, and stitched one embroidery kit.
I did however discover patchwork and followed the instruction in the magazine to make a cover for the chess table.
Everything changed in 1997 when we decided to go to the Artic Circle on our motorcycle, Biker Ted takes up the story here.
The quilts grabbed my imagination and when I saw the advert for C&G courses I went so sign up for Patchwork and Quilting! See, even when I got there I was intent on doing patchwork, just a one year course to learn the basics.
I never thought about the fact that I would be "interviewed" before being able to sign up! so after being reprimanded for not making an appointment I found myself meeting the tutor with two other prospective students who had bought their portfolios of work with them. Sitting there, quietly wishing the ground would swallow me up, I listened to the tutor explain both the patchwork and embroidery courses and realised that the embroidery courses actually sounded more fun although it meant several years of study.
so there you are, I never intended to study embroidery!
We were strongly encouraged to use recycled materials and cover any files and books used.

If I said to you Lust for Life, the latest single by Girls wouldn't be what you had in mind. Mind you, from the band name, you wouldn't be expecting two San Franciscans called Christopher and "JR", would you? The first song I heard from the band was the wonderfully grumbling Hellhole Ratrace.
A bit like a non-Scottish Glasvegas, the song seems to drone on in a dreary fashion - which I appreciate sounds very negative but isn't meant to be, it's a character of the song. The bit I am going to say that's negative though is that it does drone on for a little too long - 6 minutes is an overly long song and you do get the feeling it could end much earlier than it does.
Solitude suffers no such problem though, and with the simple accompaniment is perhaps the easiest place to listen to the carefully chosen lyrics of the songs - themes of heartbreak clearly coming from some of the songs as Christopher Owens admits was a source of inspriation. Lust for Life is completely different from the other two I've had the opportunity to listen to - a bit crazier in terms of both lyrics, tune, and definitely video. All in all, it's what I'd best describe as a very "tempting" start - and one to listen to for the future.
Lust for Life is out on 7 Sept, with the debut album imaginatively entitled "Album" following on the 28th over here in Europe.

Little Rock, Arkansas rapper CUZ's "Choppa Go Bang" follows the blueprint of nuanced, detail-driven street rap laid-out on the rapper's previous single "Return Call.
"In the neighborhood you either with the shits or around the shits, so you affiliated either way," says CUZ of his home in Little Rock, the area of the city that inspired the "Choppa Go Bang" and much of his upcoming self-titled project. "That don't make you a bad person; we all products of our environment, some of us just don't make it out."
"Choppa Go Bang" is as mournful as it bold, embodying the attitude necessary for survival in cities across America while lamenting its frequently fatal side effects.

[Events and Prizes listed below story]
We at Mystic Garden were very excited when we obtained the land to start our Pub & Cafe.
It had been a dream of ours for years.
Our happiness soon faded..
Waking up that one morning to find the pirates was a nightmare I will never forget for as long as I shall live.
Upon rising I began to do my usual check of the shops and library buildings.. This is when I heard the noise.
Looking out the library window I saw smoke rising from the chimney of 'The Blue Cow.'
That's not right, I thought. But perhaps Silvia decided to get an early start on the baking for today.
Running across the yard I quickly realized the smoke was hardly the biggest sign of distress inside the pub.
Loud voices and an awful smell were my first big sign. Peeking in the window I was horrified!
There were men in my pub!
I missed the sound of boots coming as I sat wide eyed in shock and terror.
I let out a loud yelp as I was grabbed by the hair by a man the others were calling Captain.
He dragged me inside my own pub and threw me at a stool.
From my position on the stool, I could see Silvia, our chef, sitting on the floor crying.
I could also see what had been done to my pub in what could have only been overnight.
Garbage and broken furniture.. Bones of what I didnt know.. Nets dripping with salt water..
"YOU STOLE OUR LOOT!!!!" The man called Captain screamed in my face. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH IT!?"
My mouth gaped open like a dead fish. Loot? What was this man talking about?
"OUR LOOT! Where is it!" Still closer down to my face.
I gagged as I caught the scent of the sour whiskey on his breath. For my insult, I was backhanded across my face.
From my new seat on the floor, I just stared up and could barely muster a low "What?"
"This land, Our loot was stored here. Our biggest heist, Our best jewels and riches. And now this... This building stands over where it should have been!"
Horror completely took me over. "But sir, I bought this land. I wasn't the one who started building here..."
"BUT YOU'RE HERE NOW!" The sickly sour whiskey scent hit me again. "So it is your problem now. We will not leave until we are given what belongs to us. IF we leave at all."
I watched as they tied Silvia up, wrapped rope around her wrists and ankles, then threw her back into her corner behind the cafe bar.
I was given a scroll with what they believed I had taken from them, and their demands of me.
I was then carried outside and dropped roughly to the ground by the captains men.
The captain standing just behind his men...
"You may not come back to this building, You may not have your precious Chef.. Until we are satisfied.
If you do not return our belongings quickly.. Well you'll regret more then just losing your land and your chef."
The men went back inside, Laughing as I cried, Slammed the door of MY pub on me!
The sounds of loud men and clinking glass resumed. I ran inside my shops and locked my office door.
Now was not the time to cry, Now was the time to find help!
I sat at my desk and penned a note...
Kind citizens of Britannia,
I am in dire need of help! Men that call themselves pirates have taken over one of my buildings at Mystic Garden.
I fear worse could happen in the future. These men say I've taken their belongings they buried long ago where my pub now stands.
I'm looking for a few kind souls to help me find and collect these items!
There will be a handsome reward to the first people to help!
This event begins at 8pm est at Mystic Garden.
Coords 109o 5'N 42o 15'E

Only the deuterogyne stage causes galls, that differ according to the hostplant: narrow rolls of the leaf margin in Tilia cordata and cordata x americana, small wart-like galls at the upper surface, and small round erinea at the underside of the leaf in T. tomentosa, irregular finger-like galls at either side of the leaf in T. americana.

Explicitely not mentioned from T. platypyhllos by Soika.
Uppersurface, wart-like galls, at the underside covered by an erineum, are attributed to Phytoptus abnormis Garman, 1883 in the Dutch cecidological literature, to Ph. erinotes (Nalepa, 1918) by the British. Probably this is incorrect, and must these galls too be attributed to tetratrichus.

Bad News
Dreamwave has cancelled the TMNT comic book series. Issue #7 will be the last one to ship for an indefinite amount of time. The withdrawl was said to be mainly due to a lack of profit from the series. There is possibility however that the series will return in the summer, but LeSean has said he will most likely not be involved.
More details.
Ironically, the Official Site put up previews for Dreamwave issues #1-6 and Dreamwave has reprinted #1-4.
[Thanks to cqb101 for the info.]
I still can't get over this......Just when I was starting to like DW for the first time in awhile, it all goes down the drain. Burn in hell, DW. The worst comic company ever.
Note: This isn't just because of TMNT, they've pretty much canned almost every series they get that isn't TF related. :roll:
Dreamwave seems kinda screwy to me. Why make a TPB if the sales were so bad? So they can loose more money on TMNT? What happens if the TPB sells out a week after it ships?
I pry won't be picking up any other Dreamwave comics, 'cause from what I've heard this is pretty common for them to do.
you are so right dude!!! DW Sucks!!! Does anybody know a e-mail and a address where I can send them hate mail? Those **** TF. What do they think they are.
*shrug* it's not that they suck, because they DO have some pretty cool comics... while they run them that is.
This is the reason i never let myself pick up the comic, and never let myself get attached to liking it.....
why?..Because this was jsut destined to happen. No knock on the TMNT....but they just cant sell good in the comic industry. Not since the old series died. They wouldnt of sold if Marvel owned the title either. DW still sucks...dont get me wrong....but it's not really their fault. Comic industry is in the worst shape its ever been in...and something like TMNT just didnt have a chance.
Umm...Dreamwave made a pretty comic and put it out there for people to buy. If no one buys it, they don't keep making it. That's how the comic industry works. If you need to blame someone, blame a stupid system whereby you have to go into one of the last comic shops on Earth to buy something that would sell much better on newstands.
Actually someone posted the sale number in the other thread about this, and it seemed to be selling quite well. Unfortunately not well enough for DW executives.
(reposted from another thread...)
That's rather upsetting, actually. The first four issues weren't much better than average, but the last couple (5 and 6) were actually quite good. PAD had some creative control and was able to get a strong feel for his own little TMNT world, and I rather enjoyed it.
At the same time, though, I realize how DreamWave's been floundering as a publisher lately. Mega Man, another franchise title they publish, was recently canceled after #4, in a similar manner. More stories were on the way, the the DreamWave execs decided to 'suspend' them 'for the time being'. (Although, Mega Man suffered from some terribly mediocre writing.)
Either way, having more and more of your few titles canceled is never a good thing for a publisher, whether it be due to low sales (though I thought TMNT was doing well?) or lack of organization. I rather like DreamWave, and I hope they get their stuff in order, because things at the moment aren't looking too hot.
#1 (06/03) 32,273 copies (multiple covers)
#2 (07/03) 22,371
#3 (08/03) 21,319
#4 (09/03) 19,567
#5 (10/03) 19,071
And Mirages' TMNT:
#10 (06/03) 7,073 (at a $3.95 cp)
#11 (08/03) 6,694 (at the regular $2.95 cp)
#12 (10/03) 7,232
Yeah, Mirage is no best seller, it's mainly the core TMNT fans that buy the book. But because Mirage owns the property, they don't have the license fees to worry about, and I'd imagine the sells do cover the printing costs, and salary for the people who work with it and other misc. costs. It's no big secret that Laird does the books for the fans, but to company like DW is in it for the money. And it seems that wasn't enough. It is a pity really.
18-20000 is very good for a small brand. Dreamwave is wayyyy to demanding. They should've been happy with what they had. Glad I didn't subscribe. Better go collect 1,2 & 4 before the supply runs out.
wiat a min. Do you mean that they cwe could have subscribe to the TMNT comic? Damn it I wish I had known that.
hmmm, They should have started with publishing all brand new stories like Peter David Wanted. Wasn't there something about, that he wasn't allowed to start out with a brand new story??? well, what do i Know.
Do you think these comics 1-7 are going to be worth big money in the future???
Man the least they could do was to publish issue # 8 T4:The Turtlenator, i was so looking forward to that one.
Well that's all for now...
ohhh ok, then there's is something i have misunderstood, Well it just looks Awesome 8)

CNH Capital America is marketing its third equipment lease securitization of the year, the $755.5 million CNH Equipment Trust 2013-C, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

They could not find jobs as men, but they realized women had more opportunities. So they dress up as women in order to earn a living. Due to this cancellation, 'Cougar Town' will be returning from its hiatus. Season three will be replacing 'Work It' starting Feb, 14. at 7:30/8:30. The producers of 'Cougar Town' decided not to change the title of the show, so 'Cougar Town,' remains. Penny can! Happy Valentine's day! 😀

Completion of a nationally-accredited nursing program or other medical training, can qualify you to start working immediately. If you study pharmacy technology, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as nurse assisting, lab internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the pharmacy department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of pharmacy tech job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of pharmacy technicians, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for NCAT.
Medical laboratory technicians collect samples and perform tests to analyze body fluids, tissue, and other substances. Medical technologist jobs usually require a bachelors degree in biotechnology or life sciences. Pharmacy tech jobs, on the other hand, demand only an accredited associate's degree program in clinical laboratory science. Coursework emphasizes laboratory skills, including safety procedures and pharmacy management. Medical lab technicians can obtain a general certification as a medical laboratory technician, or a certification in a specialty, such as medical technology.
Pharmacy tech jobs are projected to grow 16% in the coming years. An increase in the aging population is expected to lead to a greater need to diagnose medical conditions, such as cancer or type II diabetes. Finally, the average salary for clinical laboratory technicians was $50,550 in May 2015, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Do you know the mussel man?
(Oyster beds in the Gulf of Kalloni)
Yes, I know the mussel man, the mussel man lives in Skala Polichnitou*. In the winter Lesvos makes up a small part of the Greek mussel industry. That is to say, if all goes well and the local fishing unions are not at war with each other.
Three local fishing unions are fishing in the same pond: the Gulf of Kalloni. The fishermen of Skala Kallonis who want to go fishing for mussels depend on the fishermen of Skala Polichnitou, where the main commerce of mussels takes place on the island. This year however there are enough fishermen in Skala Polichnitou to not need the fishermen from Skala Kallonis. The Skala Kallonis' fellows felt so frustrated being without a job that they have decided to make life difficult for their fishing colleagues: they complained to the authorities that too many undersized mussels were being sold and so the inspection service decided that all mussels coming out of the Gulf of Kalloni should be measured and that they must be at least 5 cm.
One fisherman had decided to go fishing for mussels and other shellfish this winter. It was a big decision to make, because if you don't have a diver's certificate and two year's of shellfish experience, you need to hire a diver who has those qualifications to harvest the mussels from the sea bottom (which is the most usual way to catch shell fish on this island). And then you must have lots of patience in order to obtain all the licences and you'll also need a small investment fund. The boat of the fisherman belongs to the small fishing fleet of Skamnioudi and even before going out on the water, this man had a buyer in Thessaloniki for his catch. When he found a crew, all papers were regulated, his boat was converted for shellfish catching and when the winds slowed down he finally set off to sea (although you cannot call the Gulf of Kalloni really a sea, because only at its end is there a small connection with the sea).
I have no idea how many mussels make up one kilo. But I can imagine, that as a boat can catch hundreds of kilos a day, measuring mussels is not the work you look forward to, after coming ashore after a day of hard work at sea. It also means loosing time in getting your catch to its buyer and time and extra labour is money. Then after making your calculations, you find it's better not to play the mussel man, because with all those extra costs you're better off staying in the harbour.
Ai, ai, ai, those Greeks. They can be so bloody jealous!
In Holland you mostly eat cultivated mussels, but here on Lesvos it's the wild ones that live on the bottom of both the Gulf of Kalloni and the Gulf of Gera. With their beards they anchor themselves to the sea bottom and they feed by filtering plankton out of the sea water. When they are a few years old they are ready for consumption.
There is another difference: in Holland it is the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) that is commonly eaten while here on Lesvos it is the Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis). Not that I know the difference. Last week I ate Mediterranean Mussels in the Dutch way, meaning that I served them cooked accompanied with bread and some dip sauces. They were so delightful that, for a split second, I got homesick for the restaurants in Amsterdam where I used to eat mussels on a regular base.
Greeks eat them in a different way, normally as a meze with ouzo. They eat them raw with a sprinkle of lemon juice, just like oysters. I do not support eating raw oysters (I love the taste but get sick) and so I don't eat mussels raw. I'd rather cook them to be on the safe side.
A Greek recipe with cooked mussels is midia saganaki: mussels in a tomatoe sauce with feta, just like the garides saganaki (with shrimps). But there is an easy way to make your Dutch (or other local) mussels in a Greek way: you just add some ouzo to the cooking juice.
The story that you have to discard the mussels that remain closed after cooking seems to be a fairy tale. That's just a mussel with very strong muscles. They just don't give-up during cooking but you can open them and enjoy their tastey meat (really bad mussels will smell strongly).
The Greek tragedy of the newly made mussel man has not finished yet. The hired diver (the new mussel man has a diver's certificate but only one year's experience on a shellfish boat) caught so few mussels that there was a quarrel and the diver left. Now the boat is anchored in the harbour and the remaining fishermen still have to charge more for their catch. I am wondering how long it will take for the buyer on the mainland to find cheaper mussels. Because then Lesvos can say goodbye to its mussel industry and they may never come out of the crisis.
Together we know the mussel man, the mussel man, the mussel man
Together we know the mussel man, he lives in Thessaloniki*

First, I apologize to anyone who read my previous Farm Crawl post and sallied forth on Saturday. 'Cuz, you know...the farm crawl was today, Sunday. Sigh.
On Saturday Jeffrey and I drove all the way out to Reichert's Dairy Air, wondering all the way there why there was no signage. Still, we are pretty good navigators, even on the gravelled back roads of Marion county, so we found ourselves at the end of the Dairy Air's very long, winding farm lane. Lois Reichert broke the news to us that we were a day early, and even offered us the opportunity to help clean out the barn, but we decided to leave that to the experts.
I work on Sundays, and by the time I finished up today, we only had time to visit two places on the 2010 farm crawl. We chose Coyote Run Farm and White Breast Pottery and Weaving, since they are fairly close to each other. At Coyote Run Jeffrey picked up a nice, meaty beef soup bone and we admired the chickens. I've never seen such a big chicken enclosure, and the chickens were loving it! They strutted around looking for bugs, making the most contented soft throaty noises I've ever heard come out of a bird. I guess that's the equivalent of a cat's purr for chickens.
Then we were off to find White Breast Pottery and Weaving before the Farm Crawl's official ending time, 5 PM. The two places were only about ten miles apart, but it was skinny gravel-road driving about 95 percent of the way, so it took us about 15 minutes. The farm had plenty of parking, and we enjoyed seeing the collection of fossils found during clay-gathering expeditions at White Breast Creek. There was lots of pottery, and a demonstration was going on with a potter's wheel. The thing that most impressed me was the weaving loom- a lot of work goes into making the rag strip rugs we saw for sale, as we witnessed first hand.
As we drove down the twists and turns Iowa gravel roads can make, I was struck with how isolated the two farms we visited were. We were told that the owners of Coyote Run Farm had to do without running water while a basement was poured for the older farm house on the property (it was lifted onto the basement when the basement was complete), and that they made do with a solar shower rig and an outhouse. The road to White Breast Pottery had some steep drops in places, and it made me shiver to think about trying to navigate it during a typical Iowa winter. I'm so thankful to live in a place with city plowing and a good internet connection! I'm also thankful for the people who've taken up this way of life, and that they are successful enough to share their bounty with the rest of us.

The Nuts 42 def Ducks 26
Cole/Ron each 8, Tony 20
Congratulations to Division Premiers The Nuts (Div 1) and Brothers (Div 2)! It was a bit more of a quiet affair in the stands last night; perhaps too cold for people, or not having the awards night, but hopefully we can all come together for a big awards night out on the 3rd of December to celebrate the victories and individual awards of both seasons and for all teams to have a fun night out.
We don't want to keep you in suspense regarding the Individual Awards, so congratulations to the following winners. In the category Best & Fairest Female, Ellie Bucher (Sharks) with 17 votes and Best & Fairest Male Sam Scandrett (Beached Az) with 19 votes. The complete Best & Fairest list (of those who received points) has now been updated in the Stats section for this season.
The Most Improved Player awards were awarded by the Board to Jemma Dazeley (The Nuts) and James Barnes (Sea Snakes) for having noticeably improved this season and having made valuable contributions to their respective teams. The achievements of this season's 3 top scorers, Tony Edmondson (The Nuts) 315, Sam Scandrett (Beached Az) 262 and Ellie Bucher (Sharks) 198, should also be recognised.
The contributions of duty teams and umpires are appreciated as always as well as Andrew efforts in for providing us with game highlights on Facebook all season. We were fortunate again this season to have 8 (reasonably) solid teams with a thank you to all Captains for keeping their teams organised and engaged and the Board for their work behinds the scenes.
Peter Gardiner has resigned from the Board and will take a 6-12 month break from Water Basketball to focus on the various Schools Sports initiatives he's involved in. On behalf of the Board and all players I'd like to thank him for all his work at Water Basketball throughout the years and wish him all the best in his other endeavours.
This brings the numbers down to 3, which are bring back up to 5 by welcoming Alison Scandrett and Tony Edmonson to the Board. The exact roles and responsibilities of each Board member will be published prior to next season. This will be the approach for the 2016-17 Financial Year and once Water Basketball has navigated the transition into its new Incorporated structure we will schedule its first Annual General Meeting to vote on and elect new Board members. Going forward this will be the new way of determining the Board composition.
As mentioned in last week's post and the week before that, next season's structure will stay the same and the cost per player will remain similar, so we hope to see you all back next season which, as detailed on the latest year planner, commences 28 July. Captains may be contacted in June to work out any further details and we aim to have the final arrangements on the website for you by early July, so we can confirm the necessary team commitments by mid-July at the latest.
To assist in planning, it would also be very useful if the Captains could indicate as early as possible whether their team will continue to play next year. Similarly, the sooner umpires can confirm with John whether they intend to continue umpiring next season the better. Closer to the start (22 July at the latest) Captains should submit their team sheets to me, so we can get the stats and scoresheets side of things organised.
New/interested players are encouraged to send us an email with your inquiry through our enquiry form. There will most likely be a Come & Try night on 21 July, which always proves valuable in getting a feel for what it's like to play Water Basketball.
Thank you all for another great season 🙂

I drafted a skirt pattern before the holidays and this weekend I finally got around to cutting it out.
Note the Bemberg stamp on the lining fabric. (Also note that I'm displaying the Bemberg gold against a skirt piece with a beautifully serged edge - I love my serger!)
I'd read about Bemberg lining (it's good stuff) but this is my first purchase. When the Britex lady in suiting said Here's your lining fabric. Who knew? Not me, until I was cutting out the lining pieces and saw the flash of gold. That's Britex for you.
But enough of all that, I have an obvious problem here with my ribbon trim:
This was another one of those times where, halfway through sewing, I vaguely remember having read something somewhere about not doing the very thing that I've almost finished doing.
So yeah, I'm going to have to take that ribbon off. My plan is to first try pick-stitching it over the seam & if that doesn't work, try sewing it alongside the seam. Because the only other option I've found so far, is to glue it on with fabric glue.
And somehow, gluing it on like a craft project doesn't really go with the whole Bemberg lining thing.

I took apart one of my purses (it was looking ratty) and used it as a pattern to make a new one. I should have taken a picture of the original for comparison, but I didn't think of it until after I'd already dismantled it. I used a navy fabric with tiny yellow polka dots, and I lined it in a solid yellow Kona cotton. I put mid-weight interfacing on the outer shell, I should have used a light-weight interfacing. Next time. The rings are from the original bag. It has a zippered closure, like the one Lizy did on my purse.
I even put a little zippered pouch inside. It my first time ever attempting such a thing, and I'm super pleased with the results! It isn't perfect, but it works and I learned what to do--and not to do--for the next time.
The pictures aren't the best. I'll bring it in to the shop for show-and-tell, and for any constructive criticism anyone wishes to offer. I plan to make several more of these (I discovered this weekend that my fabric stash is a lot more awesome than I thought). This one already has a home, but I'm hoping to be able to sell some of the others.

What it takes to SucceedMarch 23, 2009
Hey all,
I hope you all caught the great webinar tonight with Jeremy Deeble. A lot of what was shared with familiar material, but one thing Jeremy talked about really jumped out at me.
He talked about the three things it takes to succeed:
1. DESIRE – ACN (or anyone else) can't teach us desire, we have to WANT it.
2. WORK ETHIC – We have to come to the table willing to work…hard.
3. COACH-ABILITY – We have to be coachable, and open to accepting that there may be a better way to succeed. There is a system in place, we just need to work the system. For some of us, "coach-ability" might be a nice way of saying "hu-mility."
That's it…that's what it takes to build a successful ACN business!
Note several things that are NOT on that list:
…a college degree
…a successful business history
…gifted leadership skills
…expensive clothes
…a million dollar home
…a massive network of successful friends
…lots of money to invest
Are these things important? Sure! (Well, some of them.) Some of these might make it easier, might help your business grow faster, but none of them are a pre-requirement.
One statement that I overhead at the Anaheim International was that ACN is a personal development plan – with a compensation plan attached to it. If we're coachable, there are people in the business who have the skills we need to build our business (as well as success principles in all areas of our lives) and who are personally committed to each one of us to teach those skills…as often as it takes…for free…as long as we're coachable.
By the way…a quick Google search on "Leadership Training" found multiple one-day trainings costing between $199.99 – $997.00 (think Saturday trainings), and three-day seminars (similar to our International Trainings) running between $1995.00 – $2095.00.
Incidentally, none of these trainings, some offered by the very same professionals who are the key-note speakers for ACN events, offer a compensation plan. They just give you the information and leave it up to YOU to go find a way to make money with it!
ACN gives us the tools, the step-by-step plan, AND the compensation…while we learn.
All we need are three things.

TPWD is implementing program changes to optimize spawning success.
While the ShareLunker season will continue to run each year from Oct.1 through April 30, only those entries collected between Jan. 1 – March 31 will be accepted as brood stock for spawning.
"Our analysis of spawning results has determined that January-March provides the greatest opportunity to obtain good candidates for spawning," stated Todd Engeling, TPWD's Chief of Inland Hatcheries. "For all ShareLunkers caught outside of that timeframe, TPWD staff will weigh and measure each fish and obtain a fin clip for genetic analysis. The fish will then be returned to the angler."
During January through March, every ShareLunker that TPWD staff determines to be capable of spawning will be transported to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens. In recent years, pure Florida largemouth bass have been primarily used for spawning due to limited hatchery space.
ShareLunker # 564 caught by Roy Euper of Lufkin, TX caught on November 2, 2015 from Sam Rayburn was determined not to be a pure Florida largemouth. It was not kept for kept for spawning, but was released back into Sam Rayburn. If he caught #564 this year, the fish will be kept for hatchery brood stock.
"Pure Florida largemouth bass make up nearly half of all ShareLunkers entered while they typically make up less than 10 percent of bass in the wild. That means they likely provide the best chance to reach trophy size," said Engeling. "TPWD will begin converting hatchery largemouth bass brood stock so that eventually all will be descendants of pure-Florida ShareLunkers."
In addition, although ShareLunker entries will still be accepted from private waters, ShareLunker offspring will not be stocked back into private water bodies even when the ShareLunker is donated from private waters.
The changes announced for 2016-17 season are part of a long-term strategy being developed for the Toyota ShareLunker program, according to Kyle Brookshear, Toyota ShareLunker Program Coordinator. A team of hatchery scientists, fisheries managers and education and outreach experts is evaluating the program's long-term goals and strategies. Additional improvements will be incorporated into future seasons with the goal of increasing angler participation.
"As a competitive angler and fishing advocate, I am thrilled to be part of the ShareLunker program and to contribute to its new direction," said Brookshear. "We want to continue to reward our anglers for not only catching a trophy largemouth bass but also for helping us manage our fisheries to enhance trophy bass fishing in Texas."

A number of media outlets-and the NFL-are pointing out that ratings for Week 3 were actually up when you factor in the Monday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.
Here in the Stateline, preliminary ratings indicate that National Football League viewership is up. The Bears' game on FOX-39 during the 2017 opening game registered a 23.66 rating vs.a 23.19 rating the previous year.
CBS said its overall game coverage on Sunday averaged 11.9 percent of households that tuned in, up 4 percent from last year's week three coverage.
THE FACTS: NFL games shown to a national audience averaged 16.04 million viewers for the first two weeks of this season, down 11 percent from the 18.1 million people who watched during the same period a year ago, the Nielsen company said.
The Nielsen figures also don't include numerous Sunday afternoon games that are shown to a regional audience, but not a national one.
WXIA fact checkers can VERIFY that ratings were lower for Sunday night's games on some networks but higher on another.More news: Android One Moto X4 Smartphone is now Official with Project Fi
The networks saw huge boosts for their pregame shows, though.
Next week's ratings will be even more closely watched, since conservative groups and Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity have called for people angered by the protests to boycott this weekend's games. Both networks tackled the political news of the weekend.
Trump and others have professed that the NFL's ratings are down due to players kneeling, sitting or raising their fist during the national anthem. "Ratings for NFL football are way down except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!" That wasn't the case this past Sunday, as the growing protest of players to President Trump's tweets made the anthem newsworthy. Forbes notes that the rise of internet streaming likely accounts for the NFL's declining cable ratings, compounded more recently by the spate of hurricanes that have hit the south and east coasts.
Other networks had to deal with National Football League games running longer than the time they were allotted on television.
Washington Redskins tight end Niles Paul (84) and linebacker Ryan Anderson (52) and Washington Redskins linebacker Chris Carter (55) kneel with teammates during the playing of the national anthem before the game between the Washington Redskins and the Oakland Raiders at FedEx Field.

The new Amazing Spider Man movie that is coming out. Clearly not all of it is live action, especially the scenes of Spider Man flying through the air swinging on his web. This is clearly computer generated. Now, to make something this crisp would obviously take a lot of computing power to create and render to its finished product. Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere how long or how much computing that would take, but I can tell you that it would be a fair amount of both.
Not only will the swinging scenes be needing a lot of the computing power, the fighting sequences will need it as well. These parts of the movie not only have super intense actions happening, a lot of it isn't actually real life and is either being used with green screen or completely animated. For example, the part where Jamie Fox is going after Spider Man and he is sort of "immersed" into the electricity field, that is clearly not real because no human can be absorbed into electricity. Kind of going off of that, the Green Goblin isn't real either because, well, we haven't exactly come up with that technology yet.
So needless to say, without getting too repetitive, a lot of these scenes are going to require a lot of time to render because of the quality of the image and how many frames are being used to capture all of the action. If you want to see the extended trailer, it's just down below.

Project Scope
Design Services
University of Georgia Athletic Department
The project added much needed amenities and circulation space along the entire north side of the UGA's Sanford Stadium. The area has been transformed from a narrow, dark alley into a spacious and inviting gathering place. Major excavation and site utility work allowed for the addition of 24 concession points of sale, 96 restroom fixtures, and extensive hardscaping. The new Reed Alley greatly improves public safety and facilitates easy access to the central campus location. Cooper Carry and HGOR worked with Manning Brothers and Aramark to design and coordinate concession services. The spaces were designed to be extremely functional and efficient. The project was transformed what was a marginal space into a true amenity.

My First Post
For months I've been planning, designing, and writing this blog in my head. Now here it is.
For my first post I think I need a mission statement, of sorts.
With this blog I plan to explore all the forms of art that interest me. You will see art I'm working on, art by friends, and art by heroes of mine. Over time you will see, art for children's books, art to hang on walls or stand in courtyards, and fine crafts and the artists who create them. This space will be filled with stories and pictures of things that I love. I hope to connect with a wider community of artists and interested people. Finally, I believe that maintaining this blog will help/force me to learn more about the cyber world and how to create art within it. I'm a person who cares about art, and even needs art, and yet wrestles daily with creating it.
Thank you for stopping by. Please come back often, and let me know your thoughts about what you see here.
To view my work please go to: www.maryhaverfield.com

There are laws in this country against monopolization of an industry/business sector, and they should apply here, unless utility companies are exempt from adhering to that law (by the way PG&E behaves, it certainly seems to think so). Also, if CC is now unnecessary, even if it does pass, and I do hope that's a big if, perhaps it could then be invalidated in court. That money won't go to "the children" as we are misled to believe - just another thinly-veiled scheme to plunder the public's pockets for personal profit...ReplyDelete

Couple of articles of interest on things CC in the Pasadena Star Newt lately. One says that the backers of CC are now paying people to do work for the campaign, including phone calls. Which can be taken as an indication that they are running scared. Another article talks about the folks who have contributed cash to the CC campaign, some of them being big special interests that do work for the PUSD. A comingling of interests I guess you could say.ReplyDelete

- AnonymousApril 21, 2010 at 8:52 AM
first off, they're aren't "paying generously"... secondly, the amt. they've raised is in the scheme of things, not that large compared to the the shortfall, so it makes better economic sense to make sure the parcel tax passes.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 21, 2010 at 9:20 AM
I don't think campaign money can go towards any other kind of PUSD funding source. Just like money from the Bond measures for the upgrade and maintenance of the campuses are legally completely separate from monies used for teacher salaries and school teaching supplies. The school districts in this state are hamstrung by funding sources in response to public distrust of the districts and the actions of some of the local administrators and the Teacher's Union. The system screams for reform, but there's so much inertia and special-interest protection in a bureaucracy, as we all know.ReplyDelete

John Buchanan must inform ALL the residents of Sierra Madre that the passage of Measure CC is not necessary. He must do this at the next City Council meeting. Susan Henderson and Bill Colburn must do the same thing. I am sure none of the above will do it.ReplyDelete
If CC passes, PUSD will use the Measure CC money for salaries etc. and W A S T E the diverted funds.

I learned several things during the Measure V election, the most valuable being how to do internet research in order to follow the money. It is very clear that Prop 16 is backed by a special interest group (PG&E). Voters should ignore the mailers and over the air ads and find out who backs all the propositions. PG&E are making fools of the voters. If you fall for their lies and vote YES, you are guarenteed higher utility rates in the future.ReplyDelete
I've seen some of the tv ads for Prop 16 and they are about as cynical as ads get. They smoke and mirror their grab for a greater monopoly as defending civil liberty.ReplyDelete
Can only imagine the Ministry of Truth that campaign came out of.
The big question is will the voting public take 2 minutes to understand the charade, or not.
Sierra Madre just showed that most people
1) Can't be bothered to vote and
2) can't be bothered to discern the liars from the truth speakers.
- Kiss KissApril 21, 2010 at 11:55 AM
Great News, but bad news for the development agencies that owe cities. I heard a recent planning candidate running for councilman state at a debate before the last November election in El Monte, state that their redevlopment agency owes the city 160,000.00. He wanted it back. of course honest men sometimes do not get elected. The union, trying to protect their excessively contracts and raises rose up and got in their own candidates.ReplyDelete
El Monte had to apply for hardship required by the state to pay their share of the seized back funds by the state by more bond indebtedness to A private firm comprised of Goldman Sachs.
It is a drop in the bucket to he redevelopment agencies, but it is a nice sting, to their affordable housing not really affordable housing endevors. Very good of Arnold to sign it into law. Finally
Thank you for the insight into Prop 16, I am afraid everybody is so mad at their cities, they might not know the perspective presented here and shoot themselves in the proverbable foot.
Someone better Call Bill Boogard, and tell him he needs to read the Tattler.
For a bizarre 60-second recording of PG&E's CEO -- who paid himself 8% more than Goldman Sachs' CEO last year -- boasting to Wall Street investors that Proposition 16 is meant "to diminish" voting rights by erecting a 2/3's majority wall around his monopoly franchise, check outReplyDelete

A great exchange took place at the Sierra Madre City Council when the PUSD came asking for Measure TT. Honest Don Watts grilled the guy in his soft spoken way, and the administrator darted & dodged. Don was trying to get the administrator to fess up to expansion plans. The administrator turned it around ("Why, do you want expansion?") and turns out, surprise, the campus is expanding after all.ReplyDelete

- Ed HonowitzApril 22, 2010 at 11:46 AM
Lets at least get the facts correct. The notion that AB4x 26 makes the parcel tax unnecessary is totally false. This is because neither Pasadena nor any other school district in the state will see even one penny of additional revenue as a result of this measure. Instead, the money redirected to schools will be offset—penny for penny—by a reduction in state funding. The whole point of AB4x 26 was to create a state General Fund savings by reducing state funding for schools, not to increase school funding.ReplyDelete
In any event, this legislation is being challenged in the courts and may be invalidated.
The notion that AB4x 26 will pump some badly needed funds into our area public schools is completely false, it is simply not the case. Stop misleading voters and focus on the facts.
Agree with you totally about the excellence of Wayne Lusvardi's Pasadena Sub Rosa site. The fact that none of this latest information has ever been mentioned in the Pasadena Star News speaks volumes about that useless rag.ReplyDelete
- Hal A. BurtonApril 22, 2010 at 12:07 PM
Ed, the lack of any real news media in the area leads to a lot of guess work on peoples' part. This matter of taking redevelopment money and sharing it with the school system looks, at least on the surface, to be a redirection of funds from low income housing to schools. A humane use of CRA cash in my opinion.ReplyDelete
- Virginia Olive HogeApril 22, 2010 at 12:45 PM
What is missing from this story, is the best troll-outing in Pasadena for a long time, the true-life story of how the excellent local, long-time Topix blogger N2shotokai, outed Wayne Lusvardi as "CableNewsGuy" on Topix. CableNewsGuy was a long-time anti-PUSD blogger, almost as much as True Freedom used to be and thats saying something... and even more so as an anti-parcel tax blogger, joining the multitudes.ReplyDelete
That was a great story, really! and right up the Tattler's alley, of the power of the individual to expose corruption. Yes!!
This and the fact that Lusvardi censors comments on his blog, and will not print comments in disagreement with his posts, is enough, for me, to say that Wayne Lusvardi's latest assessment of tax funds, needs to be looked at a whole lot more closely.
How about a quick phone call or email to Scott Phelps, he will give the Tattler the low-down.

Ed, are you speaking on behalf of the Pasadena Board of Education? Can we cite this as an official statement you have made on their behalf?ReplyDelete
Mr. Honowitiz's argument is self defeating. If the State will offset dollar for dollar every dollar raised in taxes locally under Measure CC then why have the tax at all? CC is just relieving the State of its tax burden and disproportionately shifting it on to Pasadena and Sierra Madre.ReplyDelete
If Mr. Honowitz is correct then Measure CC is either increasing the pool of monies statewide for schools and/or preserving the City of Pasadena's redevelopment funds from being shifted to the schools. The PU School District will receive no benefit from Measure CC if we use Mr. Honowitz's logic.
Honowitz also fails to disclose that under Prop 98, K-12 school funds cannot be cut even in an economic recession. Prop 98 is written into the State Constitution. It can not be wished away or changed by a mere declaration of the Governor.
So if K-12 state school funds cannot be cut and Measure CC tax funds will only reduce the state's contribution to PUSD, why are we doing this tax? And by Mr. Honowitz stating that Measure CC funds will only proportionately reduce state school funds, he is inferring that music and arts classes and school libraries are NOT really jeopardized (because local monies can not go toward music, art, and libraries).

How about the overspending by the PUSD laid out on the charts on the No on CC site - and on the card the No on CC mailed out. I could have done without the fish head, but the chart offers irrefutable proof that shenanigans are not just limited to past, and now near future, city councils.ReplyDelete

It would be helpful to have one of the advocates for CC respond to the overspending data.ReplyDelete
PUSD is part of a socialized state school system. As such, an increase in local taxes for PUSD will not result in any increased funding for PUSD; nor will the defeat of Measure CC result in any decrease in funding for PUSD. This is due to Prop 98 that prohibits school funding to be cut from the prior year.ReplyDelete
So all that Pasadena and Sierra Madre would do if they pass Measure CC is transfer $35 million dollars out of the local area for no benefit. As Mr. Honowitz stated: Measure CC is a revenue neutral tax. Measure CC is a loser tax for dumb voters. Even if you are in favor of more funding for local schools you must VOTE NO on Measure CC because there is no benefit from it. Measure CC will not preserve funds for music, arts of school libraries because every dollar raised under CC will be reduced dollar for dollar by the State. Measure CC is a win-lose game with the state winning and the local taxpayers losing. Why should we vote for it?

Pasadena Pundit: Anyone who calls PUSD a "socialized" state school system has their head in the sand. ALL public schools are funded by the government and this is a great thing, this is how we want our tax dollars spent, in something as productive as the educations of children, ALL children. Its called an important social service. Its regulated (unlike Wall Street), it has oversight, it is and has been extremely beneficial to millions of children in our country.ReplyDelete
As for the overspending "data" (coming from Lusvardi's blog and True Freedom's disinformation) that has been proven wrong over and over again, in multiple writings all over the place.
It is disinformation, nothing less! and being perpetrated by those so unethical, they will post it, they will troll with it, they will spread it in a concerted effort to harm PUSD.
This is so wrong.

This has been posted over and over again, but CC opponents continue to repeat and the same misleading claims. Wonder why?
