The heraldic enamels are done, and I continue working on the corresponding caps... I do wish that the initial measurement had been correct, since I've now spent more hours correcting the too-small cap than I spent sewing them both, I've had to add radial bands of couching to cover the seamlines where the cap was "let out", and without all the compensatory embroidery now the other cap looks rather too plain. Bah! Just on these caps I've over 15 hours into this and not done yet. The next step for this project is to create narrow padded ermine bands, the exact necessary head measurement, that will be attached to the lower edge. Then I can call this project done! (Hmmm, I'm thinking a porch roof for Acorn Cottage, as a labor exchange mayhaps)
The plan is to have both this project and the pearled pelican medallion both done by next Saturday, and the dragonclaw coronet need done by the 20th. Or I will need to stay home from the Household encampment. Wish me luck. Next is more wirebending, to prepare for enameling tomorrow...
As the summer is galloping along, I've been thinking about the enameling workshops for the rest of the year. Tentative dates are September 5-7, October 10-12, November 14-16 and November 28-30, and a "last minute gift" workshop on December 12-14.
Remember, the Artisanry has room for only four students at a time, so there is plenty of individual attention and encouragement. I'd like to do at least one workshop on painting enamels. Also, Bill is willing to come down and teach Engraving for Enamelists, Making your own Enameling Tools, Toolmaking for Metalsmiths and Artists, Tablet Weaving in Wire, and Pewter Casting in Soapstone.
I'd like to do more as far as publicising my teaching, and would be delighted to have some suggestions. I'm going to make up a small flyer that can be posted on bulletin boards, and a one page handout, in case I get to demo at Art In The Pearl again this year, (though I haven't heard back from them) I'll be putting a notice up on Craigslist...
I spoke with Rois this morning about the holiday gift sale, and we decided on the first weekend in December, with a special preview on Thursday night. This year we will be having a door prize drawing, with a splendid gift bag full of special goodies from all our vendors. So remember, special, local, handcrafty goodness on December 5th, 6th and 7th (yeah, I know that is waay in the future, but my calendar fills up quickly, and I'm sure yours does too...)

Below is a link to pictures from yesterday at a horse show at the theraputic riding place where Moose goes once per week. He did a stunning job, and he even clapped for himself at the appropriate moment (picture 14). I couldn't believe it! Many of the pictures are blurry since we weren't allowed to use the flash.
By the way, I'm considering switching my picture storage over to Picasaweb from Flickr, since I'm reaching my limit at Flickr and would have to start paying if I want to store more stuff. I really like Flickr, but why pay for picture storage when there are other options? Anyone who has more insight into this stuff than I do, please share your thoughts. Oh, and enjoy these fun, but blurry pics!

From our offices in a prime location in Elgin and Forres High Streets, Keith Parott and Gordon Alexander, the owners and principal valuers, ensure that Grampian Property Centre provides an energetic and progressive service in residential lettings and home sales.
We used the Forres office to sell our property and would highly recommend their services. They were always professional and friendly and we had every confidence in their ability to sell our house.
We both sold our house and purchased our next property with the Forres office. All the staff were super helpful in particular Pamela. Nothing was a hassle and they went above and beyond to help our sale and purchase go super quick and easy. Thanks for helping us through what can be such a stressful time :)
Sold my flat in just 8 weeks in a difficult market. Delighted to get full asking price. The whole process was so easy - the staff and Pamela especially were absolutely brilliant. Also appreciated the lowest commission of any local agents and reasonable but effective marketing budget. Will use again. Thank you.
We used GPC for a short term rental, the customer service from start to finish was great! Flexible about viewing times and always friendly when you go into the office.
We have used the Elgin office to sell our property in weeks, enabling us to buy one they had on the market,nothing is too much trouble and and the service is first class!

"In Finding Nemo I had a HUGE revelation and I called
this Animating from the INSIDE out. My character is not
just some spans of geometry. My character has a heart, has
flesh, has a brain, thinks on their own, etc. After I would
put my blocking in there shortly thereafter I would think,
'Okay, this character has ALWAYS done this, they have
always moved in this way, They are living this moment of
their life RIGHT NOW.'
I think this kind of thinking has happened over many years
of thinking and animating. But the sooner anyone can start
thinking about animation like this the sooner their animation
will become ALIVE and not just a series of movements."
I found this gem on my good buddy, Jamaal's site. And
although it's obviously attributed to someone at Pixar, this
actually sounds like something Jamaal would say himself.
We both previously worked in Seattle and we'd always be
talking about art, trying to come up with all of these new ideas.
The dude is as passionate about this artform as anyone I know.

A minor in marketing requires six courses (18 hours) of study, of which two are required courses (MKT 3013 Principles of Marketing and MKT 4413 Consumer Behavior) and four are electives. Electives may be chosen from among all marketing and transportation courses offered by the department.
The curriculum is designed for flexibility so that students obtain a broad background in marketing that can be customized to augment their preparation for a variety of careers. The marketing minor is especially helpful for students with science, engineering or communications majors who desire to pursue careers involving technology transfer or sales. For instance, a biology student interested in pursuing a career in pharmaceutical sales would be an ideal candidate for a minor in marketing. You can work with a marketing advisor to select electives that maximize your preparation for your intended career.
All students minoring in a business discipline must register with the College of Business Academic Advising Center on the first floor of McCool Hall. Please visit the marketing department for additional information.

Last night, after supper, we all sat down to watch "When We Left Earth," a multi-part documentary about the space race. It was the one called, "Ordinary Superman," the first in the series, about the 7 men selected to be the first to sit on the top of a missile and go hurling off into space. Dr. SmartyPants had DVR'd them a while back and we finally had a chance to see this one. (He's a total space program geek - it's so cute.)
Anyhow - they show a scene where thousands of people had gathered on Cocoa Beach to watch Alan Shepard become the first American in space. As the missile goes up, the camera pans across the faces of these folks and shows every range of emotion possible - shock, wonder, fear, amazement - and the voice over of a reporter who was on the scene describes people dropping to their knees to pray for this man as if he were their own son.
That scene was played out again and again as Gus Grissom, John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, and Gordon Cooper made their historical flights. They were greeted, upon their returns, as heroes. Children wanted to grow up to be like them. Parents wished their children would grow up to be like them.
The American public retained this sense of wonder about them.
Now, the American public venerates hotel-heiresses and their couture-wearing accessory dogs. The nightly news is filled with stories of which celebrity is in rehab or was in rehab or is coming out of rehab or is thinking about maybe possibly going into rehab. We buy video games that celebrate the wanton destruction of human life. We idolize football players and basketball players and baseball players more than police officers and firefighters and EMTs.
The whole thing is upside down.
I don't really have a point, by the way. I'm just frustrated. I'm frustrated that my boys have no role models equal to the Mercury 7. No - they have Zach and freakin' Cody. I hate them. I'm frustrated that we've become a nation of whiny, entitlement-minded, spoiled brats who can't even begin to imagine what the word "sacrifice" means.
I'm frustrated because I have never done anything to change that - watching it happen while sitting on my comfortable sofa and complaining that I don't care what Madonna's divorce is all about.
Now I'm going to be in a pissy mood all day.

Music producer and designer from Russia. I never know what I produce next time and my music has no limits. Let's just define it as atmospheric and clean sound, sometimes with four on the floor beat over the top.
My career started in 2006, when "Shifted Reality - Fever" appeared on ATB compilation The DJ In The Mix 3. Under Shifted Reality alias I released a few trance tracks. They were supported by some famous guys like Markus Schulz, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, etc. I also did remixes for Cosmic Gate and Bobina.

Icing on the Cake
After leaving the north MO property Friday afternoon I made it back to KC in time to hunt the archery only property in north KC. I wasn't anticipating a whole lot of action with high winds and temps pushing 70, but a cold front was going to hit over night and I wanted to have my decoy in there and ready for the morning sit. Right before dark a little 8 point worked in from the east and checked out "Ralphy", he decided it would be best not to scrap with a buck of Ralphy's stature.
Saturday morning I settled back in the Quarry set and "Ralphy" was rocking it about 13yards over my right shoulder. It had cooled down considerably from the night before, but there was still a pretty good south wind cracking. Right after legal shooting light a young 8 point came in and skirted "Ralphy" to the north. The buck was very curious, but just wouldn't commit to coming in and checking things out completely. About an hour later a nice 6 point worked in from the west and gave "Ralphy" as serious once over, he worked inside 25yrds before going on his way. Just after 8am I picked up movement coming out of a draw to the southwest of the set. I didn't need the binos to tell it was a decent buck. I flipped the can call a couple times, but the wind was covering the noise up, so I pulled out the VECtor grunt call. I let out two loud grunts and the buck briefly stopped and looked before continuing to walk away. I let out three more loud and aggressive grunts and in mid stride the buck made a 180 degree turn and started coming right to the tree.
At about 30 yards you could tell the buck finally noticed "Ralphy" and his entire attitude changed instantly. He pinned his ears back, puffed up all his fur, and started the sideways...I'm about to kick your ass gait towards the decoy. The buck actually cut upwind of "Ralphy" and literally walked directly under my set and around the tree. He was totally focused on the decoy at this point, so I swung around the tree and came to full draw without him even knowing I was there. The buck postured all the way in and when he was about 3yards from "Ralphy" I touched off the arrow. Instantly blood poured out of both sides of the buck and he bounded about 20yards past the stand. He had no idea what just happened and he turned to look back at "Ralphy" one last time...it was the last thing he saw because he tipped over right there, with Ralphy giving him the stink-eye!
I was pretty rattled after the shot...I kept my cool the entire time he worked in, but after I smoked him the adrenaline took over. I literally couldn't stop my legs from shaking, so I just sat down and relaxed for about a half hour and took in the experience. It's my first archery buck during the MO firearms season and it was icing on the cake for our week! I'm sold on decoying deer, what a blast!!

Ittefaq: Intriguing posters of Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha, Akshaye Khanna unveiled
Months after intriguing viewers with posters of its characters, played by Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha and Akshaye Khanna, the makers of Abhay Chopra's thriller Ittefaq released new posters of all the characters in order to add to the air of suspense around the film.
While Sidharth and Sonakshi have been projected as suspects in a murder case, Akshaye has been presented as the police inspector who will get to the bottom of the case. In the poster, he looks interrogation-ready, lighting a cigarette as he rests his elbows on the back of a wooden chair.
Ittefaq is the directorial debut of Abhay and a remake of his father late filmmaker BR Chopra's 1969 film of the same name. The original film starred Rajesh Khanna, Nanda and Iftekhar whose shoes will now be filled by Sidharth, Sonakshi and Akshaye respectively.
Ittefaq is co-produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. It is slated to release on 3 November, along with Rakhee Sandilya's romantic comedy Ribbon.

A very awesome ride for me today. 2 hours 45 min in the saddle. Some pretty good efforts.
With the temps hovering mid 20's to 30 it felt like summer compared to just two days ago.
Once again I am restarting the training program. I did start it awhile ago but a week of sub zero, followed by a week following the blizzard, followed by yet another week of sub zero put a dent in my peddle time. But with all next week calling for near 40 degrees its back on.
And it could not come soon enuf for me.
As far as riding a trainer I got good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I went all winter without riding a trainer.
The bad news is that I went all winter without riding a trainer.
I have some catching up to do. Base miles start now.
Bring it on.

I do not owe it to you. I owe it to no one but myself.
Without being shameless I will accept that I have made mistakes, I am only human.
Today I thank You for your unconditional, overwhelming love you showed and Your patients and Your love that did not relent no matter how much I put You through. Thank You for low expectations, for allowing the pajama days, the nights I kept You in and the occasions You missed because You put me first. I thank You for utter understanding even though many times I'm sure You did not. There are many people, in fact, most would not walk over the bed of thorns by my side like You did, I raise You up in praise and celebrate who You are and liberate Yourself for changing someone's life.
I understand You more then likely have no feeling at all, that is fine, but I do not. I lay in the sheets we laid in and I often think of You and how you are doing, my dreams tell me stories at night that I wish so dearly were real. But that are not. And we are not. And that's okay.
I will still love You for a very long time, You not only hold a peace of my heart but a stukkie of my soul, but its okay, I've lost so many piece and I still know how to be whole.
I'm sure You feel ashamed for leaving at such a time because You just couldn't listen to me whine, and its okay, it's allowed to be that way.
I waver my incorrect diagnosis, my path to burn out, which disrupted and destructed our relationship. I simply could not cope with anything let alone the little things. I beg You to continue to communicate your feelings towards people before it's too late.
Learn from our love that at times people aren't mature enough to be in a situation and work with certain things, and that is okay. You were not created to give birth at two so don't feel ashamed for situations You couldn't handle too.
You will not come back, and it's okay, You will not come back, and it's okay
I have to remind myself if not once then twice maybe even three times of the realities I face everyday.
I miss You, and it's okay.
I love You, and it's okay.
I'm alone, and it's okay.
I'm without You, and I'm okay.
I can stand on my feet and gracefully know I never have to apologize for anything I don't want to but rather that I owe it to myself to come clean. I hope You take this with gleaming eyes and courage, because that's what it took for me.
I hope You are well precious one.
Have a good day.

After one of the biggest security swoops in years, the authorities in Saudi Arabia say scores of suspected militants with links to al-Qaeda have been arrested.
Scores of militants arrested in Saudi Arabia
Scores of militants arrested in Saudi Arabia
According to the interior ministry about 58 Saudis and around 50 Yemenis, in three independent groups, were planning to target oil facilities and security forces.
Others, it is alleged were said to have been establishing terrorist cells in the kingdom.
Interior Ministry spokesman, Mansour Al Turki said: " We have uncovered a cell made up of a network of people specialising in targeting security men. In fact we know of instances where security men were put under surveillance by this network."
Weapons, cameras documents and computers were said to have been seized with the suspects.
The operation shows that the Saudi oil sector remains a priority target for al-Qaeda which has been exploiting the instability on the Arabian peninsular.

Technology may be partly to blame for newspaper subscriptions declining, but it can also be its salvation. As Kindle and others make electronic reading possible, downloads replace paper boys and kiosks.
Half the battle is controlling the flow of content. Content has value and as the Wall Street Journal has already proved, it deserves a subscription fee. The breadth and quality of the content can no longer be free for all. Advertising alone does not pay for all its cost. And the first step is for newspapers and magazines to rein in their content and control what they release. "The move by newspapers and magazines to make their material freely available on the Web is now viewed by many as a critical blunder that encouraged readers to stop paying for the print versions." The WSJ teases non-subscribers with bits of the article and reminds them that "membership has its privileges."
The other half of the battle is the electronic device. Today's Kindle and Sony E-Reader, with their small screen and black and white e-ink, are not good enough to provide readers with the full aesthetic. An Apple iPhone with its smaller screen is no better. It will be the next generation device that offers the right size, weight, and functionality, that will win out. Many view Apple as most likely to deliver first. "Such a device, with a screen that is said to be about three or four times as large as the iPhone's, would have an LCD screen capable of showing rich color and video, and people could use it to browse the Web."
Will this save the print business in time? It feels a little bit like the chicken and egg; cutting off access to content and releasing more readers. The timing of each matters greatly in the hunt for eyeballs. I am eager for that new type of reader at a reasonable price point to pave the way. Look at what the iPod did for music and it seems the same is possible for print.

Even a master filmmaker like Ingmar Bergman has to screw up once and a while and The Touch is his flop.
Bibi Andersson is in a comfortable marriage to nice guy doctor Max Von Sydow. Into her life comes a very violent neurotic Jewish archeologist played by American actor Elliot Gould. They have a wild semi violent affair which ends up in the breakup of her marriage.
Since the film has the production credits for ABC films, I can only assume to get financing for this film Bergman agreed to shoot this in English instead of his native Swedish language.
The end result is not so hot. It's like Bergman didn't really think through his characters motivations or much less his characters. Hard to understand exactly with Andersson sees in the Gould character since at one point he basically rapes her. Bergman was known for his skill in writing female characters, but in The Touch he acts like he has barely spent any time with any woman.
It's also hard to understand exactly what the Gould character was angry about. At one point he talks about how he lost all of his family in concentration camps, but Gould seems a little young to have had an experience like that.
Max Von Sydow comes off best in this film. He seems entirely reasonable about the situation and understands how screwed up the Andersson and Gould characters are, even more than Ingmar Bergman the director/writer.
Bibi Andersson has the thankless job of trying to put some life into Bergman's flat dialog. Plus she is unlucky enough to play the love scenes in the nude with Elliot Gould. Gould's pawing at her breasts is kind of icky to watch, Bergman seems very uncomfortable directing these scenes. By the way a naked Elliot Gould is a very hairy guy.
In English, Bergman's themes about alienation, the absence of God, love and passion, sound very trite and cliche ridden. The symbolism of the rotting statue of the Madonna and child as a representation of Andersson and Gould's love is a little obvious even for Ingmar Bergman.
The Touch is a parody of a typical Ingmar Bergman film.
115 minutes.

Yes, I'm still working on this one...keeping to the schedule Michelle has us on (and I only needed 1 reminder that it was time to start the next round :)
We finished Booklet 1 last month. Booklet 2 has 3 units in it too....
The color is way off on this picture! The sky is blue and the fence is tan and gold :)
Once I finish Section 3 and 11 (no, they don't have you sew in order) I will take a picture of what I have so far.....
Florida was fun last week. Spent 3 days in Naples with my family and then hubby, Sarah and I drove to Orlando for 3 days and spent an evening with his brother and a friend. That was nice too because we ate in Epcot in China and then stepped outside and got to see the awesome fireworks they put on. I tried taking pictures but they turned out awful!
It was back to work on Monday and then the onslaught of the nasty weather here in NJ. I'm thankful that we live in the southern portion of the state and far, far away from the flooding of Northern NJ.
Prayers go out for the people in Japan who have the earthquake and Tsunami to deal with.

Dear December,
P.S. I thought I would include some pictures of the ornaments I made for the swap I hosted over at Label Tulip. You know, in some attempt to prove that I haven't totally wasted the first two days you've managed to whiz right past me. Again, if you could just slow down a little bit, I could get more pretty little things like these made.
Don't you just love those pretty little snowflakes? A couple of weeks ago, Marie of Sketchbook Designs asked if I would be interested in working with some of her fabulous products, and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity! Be sure to check back over the next few days to see what else I have created with the goodies that she sent me... lots of fun Christmas projects and gift ideas! In the meantime, you might want to take a look around her Etsy store. She makes tons of cute wood, chipboard, mirrored and acrylic shapes, in addition to some wonderfully crafted acrylic albums... perfect to add to your list for Santa. ;0)
Oh, and one more thing... Label Tulip's stamp boutique is officially open for business again! In addition to the stamps, you won't want to miss out on the limited-time offer of some fabulous grab bags and 40% off all available previous kits (except from November). But, hurry up and stuff your stockings! Supplies are limited to stock on-hand, and won't be available after December 31st!
