We do understand that this is a huge concern for many people when dropping off their jewelry for repair. The sad reality is that the jewelry business is like all other businesses, in that there are some good people and some not so good people.
So let's take a look at how you can protect yourself against this possibility. But, first, it's important to understand some things.
Removing and resetting a gemstone, whether it be a diamond or colored stone, is not an easy or quick thing to do. If it's set in a bezel or if it's flush set into the ring then the work to remove and reset a gemstone would be so intrusive and destructive, it would be very difficult to hide. Prong set gems would be the most vulnerable, but, even then, you must pull back the prongs, without doing damage, reset a stone that has virtually the same proportions, then remove any marks on the prongs to cover your tracks. Although not very difficult for an experienced craftsman, it does take a considerable amount of time in addition to numerous tools.
Another thing to understand, is that when you leave your ring, it will be in a "worn" condition- scratched and, at least, somewhat dirty. When you pick up the ring, it will be polished and clean. In other words, it will look different. If you were concerned to begin with, this alone can cause alarm.
The best course of action, when there are concerns, is to discuss them when you bring the ring in initially. This will provide an opportunity for both of you to take a look at the ring and gem(s) to get measurements and to take a close look to see if there are any easily recognizable aspects to the gemstone, such as inclusions (what we like to refer to as 'birth marks') or chips. Using a jewelers loupe (magnifier) to look at your jewelry can take a little practice, but it's well worth your time and can often resolve any concerns you may have.
We always recommend that jewelry should have an appraisal and be insured. If you do have an appraisal, then, hopefully, it will have the imperfections of your diamond mapped out for you. If this is the case, then you should be able to have your gemstone verified before and after having it worked on to insure it is yours.
Another option is a laser inscription. There are a number of laboratories that provide a service that, using a microlaser beam, can inscribe diamond report serial numbers, company logos, and text messages on the girdle of a diamond. If your diamond is inscribed with a certificate number, make sure to note the location of the inscription so that you can find it again when the diamond is returned to you. Mention the inscription to the jeweler; this will not only alert the jeweler to the fact that you are aware of this security feature, it will also insure that when setting or repairing the ring the inscription is not inadvertently obscured or damaged.
Of course, there is one more 'bullet proof' way to alleviate your concerns and anxieties- Watch the goldsmith set your diamond. Here, at Jewelry Doctor, you can let us know ahead of time of your concerns and what work is needed to be done, and we can (in almost all cases) do it while you wait and ..... watch. A good example of this occurred recently with a 2 carat diamond a lady wanted set into a new ring. She brought in the diamond, so we could measure it and determine the proper type and size of the head. She then left with her diamond and we ordered in the head, polished it, then soldered it into the ring and got everything ready for setting the diamond. We then called her up, set up a mutually convenient time, gave her a chair and she watched as our goldsmith set her diamond.
A true story- Many years ago, when we were still located in Lansing Mall, a young lady came in to have some work done on her engagement ring three days before her wedding. Her ring was examined and we could see that the ring could be worked on, but only if we removed the stone first...... because it was a cubic zirconium. The truly unfortunate thing was that we were quite certain that she thought it was a diamond. It was an awkward situation.
Obviously, we didn't want to take it in with any misunderstanding, so the situation was gently explained to her. She was visibly shaken and explained that, no, it was a geniune diamond that she received from her first marriage and she had an appraisal for over $5,000.00 to prove it. She was asked if she had her ring worked on recently, and she said 'yes' and told us where it had been taken. We explained that we thought she should go and have a talk with them and hoped that it had been an innocent mistake.
As you can imagine, we were very curious about the outcome of this conversation, so we were pleased and surprised when she returned about an hour later. Still shaken and fighting back tears, she explained that, yes, the diamond had been switched for a cubic zirconium. At her fiance's request.
We would have loved to hear his explanation when she got home.

A client of mine recently shared a recipe with me that I found very intriguing. She called it her No Broth Layered Soup. Wait – what? Is it really possible to make a soup without adding any broth or water? Tonight I found out that the answer is YES! The trick is in the type of veggies, and how they are layered in the soup pot. You will not believe how delicious AND easy this is. Without further ado:
4 large tomatoes, diced
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large or 2 medium zucchini, sliced thin
1 medium head Romaine lettuce, chopped
1-2 cups diced green beans
¼ cup chopped fresh Basil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and pepper to taste
In a large soup pot, layer the vegetables in the order they are written in the directions. Pour the olive oil on top.
Cover pot and bring to a boil. Keep lid on, turn down to simmer, and cook for another 20 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Enjoy! If you tolerate cheese, you can add some freshly grated Parmesan. Make a meal by adding leftover chicken, or beans.

The divisions and disagreements between and amongst feminist about pornography, the "feminist sex wars", have a fraught and lengthy history. These debates are not new, and the positions are most commonly broken into a pleasure/danger binary – where focusing on one means refusing the possibilities of the other. Today, we see these positions articulated in an even clearer way: divided into sex positive and it's often unnamed but obligatory counterpart, sex negative – though what it means to be wholly and always positive about sex in all and every manifestation, or wholly and always negative about it irrespective of context or consequence, is not something that is ever fully described.
As this project develops, and I continue reading through the 2000+ survey responses and talking with the women who have wanted to have a more in-depth conversation about their views and experiences of porn, I'm seeing more and more that these positions are not only unhelpfully reductive, but they just aren't grounded in lived experience - they exist as theoretical abstractions. On the ground, women's positions are much more conflicted and contested than the binary allows. Critical voices exist within both framings, meaning the experience of pornography for women is not typically one of oppression or empowerment. Though there are those who do indeed hold uncompromising pro or anti positions, there are a range of positions between these that go unarticulated in debates where the complexities of women's situated experience are collapsed into for or against.
Pro-pornography often focuses on the possibilities of pornography, most commonly alternative pornographies, for reclaiming women's sexual agency from the position as 'done to'. But some clear voices are coming out from the research so far suggesting that the division into mainstream and alternative pornographies again doesn't accurately describe the ways in which these different forms are commonly sought out together – their relationship one of both/and not either/or. Anti-pornography largely denies these possibilities, claiming instead that pornography, and sometimes sexuality itself, is fundamentally a tool of oppression. But in a world where women have so little space within which to explore and develop their sexual pleasures and desires, many of the women in this project have successfully navigated pornography to find some space for action; to find some space to have a sexual pleasure that is just for them, that is wholly theirs.
Within these two broadly sketched positions, there are a range of competing and complimentary views – though again you wouldn't be aware of this from the outside as the debate is largely painted as between clearly defined and internally consistent opponents. But there is actually great consistency between these two perspectives. Both sex positive and sex negative positions acknowledge women's sexual freedom as a necessary part of women's freedom, and recognise that women's sexual freedom is restricted in specific ways even though the solutions to increasing women's space for action diverge radically. And it's in these solutions that we uncover the reasons that complex perspectives have been reduced to uncompromising positions – one leading as it does to pornography regulation, and the other to increased production. But what if they didn't lead there? What if we weren't looking for solutions? What if we are somehow able to sit in the space between, and talk to each other, openly, honestly, about what pornography means for women's sexual freedom, the bits that expand it, the parts that narrow. That places that make us slightly uncomfortable. Refuse to deny our complexity.
Responses to sexualisation are split into either sexual protection (reduce/limit what is available) or sexual celebration (increase/open what is available), allowing no room for the ambiguity and ambivalence that structures material action. What is reproduced here is the legacy of thinking in terms of subject/object; victim/agent; free/constrained; sex-positive/sex-negative. Such perspectives lock us into an unhelpful binary in which the complex, multiple, and uneasy ways in which as women we individually and collectively live our agency and oppressions in the current gender order are lost. An account of women's sexual agency is reproduced as either unconstrained (thus) equally available to all, or constrained and thus not really free. We are either empowered or victims.
There is no space for lived difference. It is not enough to approach 'woman' as a unitary category with a universal experience. As Debra Bergoffen makes clear in her discussion of erotic generosity in Beauvoir, "The bodies in the lived world of everyday experience cannot easily exchange places…our experience is vertically and hierarchally positioned as well as horizontally and spatially situated". Hierarchies of worth drawn from social markers such as race, class, and sexuality, situate women in relation to each other. And this situation has implications for our embodied space for action – that is, our lived experience of freedom. Taking the range of women's situated lived experience seriously means that the story isn't a simple one about positivity or negativity, freedom or restraint. Beginning from this point, our attention is immediately turned from an attempt to articulate one clear theory of 'agency' or 'freedom' to an exploration of the ways in which these hierarchical structures interact and intersect with gender inequality, meaning it manifests and is experienced in multiple ways, some of are shared and some of which are not.
It may be then that, as Rae Langton suggests, pornography can both affirm women's sexual autonomy at the same time as denying it. The location of the feminist debate about pornography as mainly taking place within a legal or medical paradigm has operated to the detriment of a philosophical exploration of the experience of pornography - pornography as a lived relation. These experiences may be contradictory, overlapping, and struggle for expression within a legal frame - a frame that needs necessity, universality. Something is or it isn't, either, or. Finding space in the sex wars means sitting in sticky uncertainty. Our questions not just those of legislation and policy response, but of the very conditions of agency and the possibilities of freedom itself.

phantom of the opera musical vs book
A case study regarding "The Phantom of the Opera: Musical vs Book" in unavoidable. Some hit musicals are based on classic best sellers like this. Usually it starts as a play adapted from the book which in turn gets adapted into a musical. In this case though, the version that used less music was the 1990 adaptation written by Arthur Kopit. But Andrew Lloyd Webber took straight from the book and into his 1986 musical version. Minor tweaks are inevitable.
The few that didn't like the 1986 version of POTO were mostly purists – bookworms that already read the novel written by Gaston Leroux that really went dark and horrifying in portraying the unfortunate character. Let us enumerate the differences between the musical and the book then.
In the musical: The closest character to a Persian found here is the monkey sitting on the music box holding the cymbals wearing Persian robes while playing "Masquerade".
In the book: OG's lackey and partner-in-crime wore the robes and was only referred to as "The Persian".
In the musical: OG's origins are not much discussed. The only person who knew about it, Madame Giry, was even too scared to go into details other than OG's stint as a freak show attraction.
In the book: OG's origins are narrated from the chaotic youth, due to his disfigured face, to how he became a renowned torture chamber designer. The Paris Opera House ended up becoming his "retirement home".
In the musical: While OG's threats to Carlotta were unspecified, she lost her voice in the middle of a performance of "Il Muto", making her croak like a toad. OG then used this to blame the chandelier's fall on Carlotta's deteriorated voice.
In the book: Threats are unspecified but still Carlotta lost her voice, this time in the middle of a performance in Gounod's "Faust". The chandelier falls and OG pinned the blame on Carlotta's deteriorated voice.
In the musical: OG abducts Christine in the middle of his own opera "Don Juan Triumphant".
In the book: OG abducts Christine in the middle of Gounod's opera "Faust".
In the musical: After the first time that she replaced Carlotta, Christine demanded from OG that he show himself as proof that he existed. He showed himself by opening a mirror and Christine went with him to his lair.
In the book: Christine fainted after the first time she replaced Carlotta. She then woke up in OG's house, implying that he abducted her while unconscious.
In the musical: OG has set up a lair underneath the Paris Opera House where she took Christine.
In the book: OG built a house, not a lair, underneath the Paris Opera House.
In the musical: Raoul found an opportunity to face OG twice – first when OG took away Christine in the middle of "Don Juan Triumphant"; second when he went to OG's lair to save Christine.
In the book: Raoul never faced OG since he almost died in the torture chamber that the latter has set up for him.
In case you plan to read the book solely-based on what you have seen from the 1986 musical and write your own case study about "The Phantom of the Opera: Musical vs Book", you're in to be pleasantly surprised. And when you just can't get enough of discussions regarding your favorite musicals, all you have to do is to like our official Facebook page, MusicalsOnline.com, and follow us on Twitter @musicalsnews.

One of my most well read blogs was the one called "The Trick to Changing Someone". People are often dissatisfield with the people they are with or with what they are doing and are hoping that there is a magic formula to change them.
How can we become more satisfied with the people we are with?
- Think about the person that you would like to change.
- Think of what bugs you about them.
- Do you feel better now?
I doubt it.
Let's try again.
- Think about the person that you would like to change.
- Think of what you like or love about them (there has to be something…. it could be their left eyebrow).
- Think of what they do for you. It's best to write this down for when you need it again.
This last one is tricky. Often we are so blinded by how irritated we are with the person that we don't realise what they do for us. It could be something small and hardly noticeable for example when there is an office party your colleague always brings you a piece of cake; maybe your partner always takes the spoon out of your coffee cup because he/she knows you don't like to stab yourself in the eye; maybe you hardly notice that your spouse warms up the baby's food for you without you asking; maybe your teen fills your hot water bottle for you when you ask him; maybe your Housekeeper prepared the veggies for supper because she knew you would be home late. I could put a hundred examples here of tiny things people do for us that we usually take for granted.
Yes…. they also take you for granted and if you focus on that then you are not going to improve your relationship. You could talk to them about that but in the meantime if you have a list of what they do for you and why you like or love them you will be able to have a positive outlook and more loving feeling towards them when you are in their space and this gives you the motivation to work on the relationship.
Why does it have to be me who always makes the changes you may ask? Relationships weren't designed to be flawless, perfect things. They can help us grow into strong, loving, kind human beings or bitter and twisted people who hate.
People (secretly or not secretly) need to be recognised for what they do and if we ignore what they do for us neither of us benefit. Let's take notice of what people do for us (no matter how small) and remember to thank them for it. When you recognise and appreciate someone they are likely to do more.
Thank you for reading my blog, it makes it worth writing.
Wishing you the best

In the March 28, 2011 issue of the Law Times (Vol 22 No 11) Michael McKiernan wrote about the recent case of R v Balgobin, 2011 ONCJ 108: "Breath evidence tossed". In his article McKiernan reports on the views of Balgobin's counsel, Richard Posner who reportedly commented that many police officers would avoid giving rights to counsel and view it as a nuisance. The cases indeed raises some concerns about the reported conduct of the officer involved, but is there really an epidemic of officers trying to avoid giving rights to counsel?
Balgobin was charged with "over 80". At trial he brought a motion to exclude the breath readings (which were almost twice the legal limit) on the basis that there had been a violation of section 10(b). On the facts, as outlined by McKiernan, it seems there could be little doubt that there was a breach. The officer apparently told the accused he might have to wait for two hours for a call back from a lawyer and despite the accused asking more than 30 questions about his legal rights the accused did not in fact ever take the opportunity to exercise his rights as he felt that he might be released faster if he did not exercise his right to counsel. After finding that this conduct amounted to a violation of section 10(b) the trial judge went on to exclude the samples under section 24(2).
In his article McKiernan outlines Richard Posner's views on the case (Mr Posner was counsel for Balgobin). Amongst those views are one that might catch your attention. Posner is reported to suggest that the case highlights the attitude of many police officers about the right to counsel; he then stated "[t]here's a feeling that it's a technicality, something they've got to get done...[a]nd if it can be avoided, so much the better. It's a nuisance for them".
Is this really the view of "many police officers"? With respect, despite what appears to be troubling conduct on the part of the officer in Balgobin, it seems unfair and unfounded to use that decision as an opportunity to indict "many" other officers. Indeed, consider how many impaired/"over 80" trials take place everyday in Canadian courts; then do a quick search and see how many section 10(b) violations are found everyday...there are some; they are not the majority.
Police officers sometimes make mistakes. Others sometimes carelessly violate an accused's rights; still others may recklessly do so. Most police officers, however, actually take the Charter seriously and respect an accused's rights guaranteed thereunder. There is no epidemic of officers disrespecting the Charter - quite the contrary, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the Supreme Court brought about change to the section 24(2) regime in R v Grant, 2009 SCC 32.

For our listeners who haven't read The Zookeeper's Wife, how would you describe the book?
It's the true story of a Warsaw zookeeper's family that saved 300 Jews during the Holocaust, a story of war and sanctuary, and of good coming out of evil. But it's especially the story of Antonina Żabińska, the zookeeper's wife, who had a powerful, mystical relationship with animals, and was an unlikely heroine who rose to towering acts of bravery and compassion when it came to outsmarting the Nazis and caring for the refugees hiding in the cages of the zoo. It's a story about love—for both humans and the other animals we call "animals." It's a story about evil and its opposite, and about discovering yourself in the midst of an inferno.
Where did you first hear about Antonina Żabińska's story and what compelled you to write it?
I first came to the story through the animals. I'd heard about ancient horses roaming a primeval forest in Poland, and that piqued my curiosity. When I started delving into it, I learned that the Żabińskis, the Warsaw zookeepers, were adopting orphan animals from that forest and raising them inside their home. By sheer luck I came upon Antonina's diary, and when I had it translated, I was stunned to discover that they were adopting more than animals—hundreds of human refugees were spirited out of the Warsaw Ghetto and hid in the bombed-out zoo cages. Their zoo became one of the most successful hideouts of WWII. Antonina, especially, was extraordinary, but her story somehow vanished between the seams of history, as women's stories often do. The more I learned about her almost mystical relationship with animals, her cleverness at outwitting the Nazis, and her many radical acts of compassion, the more I knew I had to share her story.
March is Women's History Month. Why do you think it's so important to share the stories of women throughout history?
History is also Herstory, and women's achievements are plentiful, but they tend to go unrecorded and undervalued. Yet these stories often transcend culture, class, language, gender and era to offer us a unique view of the human condition, seen through women's eyes. Their lessons tie us together across time and country, and inspire us to grow and be bold for changes in our own lives.
What research did you do for the book and were you surprised by anything that you learned?
I did a colossal amount of research, in books and in Poland, but I love learning, and animals, and the research was deeply fascinating.
The Zookeeper's Wife has been made into movie—congrats! What has surprised about the process of turning your book into a film?
The film is exquisitely beautiful and emotionally electrifying, and it stays true to my book and to the Żabińskis' story. But it's a different kind of creative adventure from writing a book. I've seen it several times now, and am deeply moved each time, as I relive the events in new dimensions. It's been thrilling to discover how one artistic medium can be powerfully translated into another.
Here at the Reading Women, we're all about promoting female voices. What female writers have inspired you?
Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Penelope Lively, Collette, Edith Wharton, Carson McCullers, Maxine Kumin, May Sarton, Mary Oliver, Annie Dillard, and so many more.
What have you been reading lately?
At the moment, my open books are: Donna Seaman's Identity Unknown, Carson McCullers' The Member of the Wedding, James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time, Janna Levin's Black Hole Blues, Mary Oliver's Our World.
What are you working on now?
I've just begun a new book, but I'm afraid I can't say anything about it quite yet!

In its annual census of fatal occupational injuries, released Aug. 25, BLS reported that the rate of fatal injuries in the workplace also rose, from 4.0 to 4.1 per 100,000 workers, the first such increase since 1994. The number of workplace fatalities has now risen 2 years in a row. The last time this happened was1994.
Despite the rising rate and numbers of death on the job, the 2004 figure of 5,703 represents the third lowest annual total recorded by the government since it began the fatality census in 1992.
Other highlights of the BLS report:
- Fatal work injuries among Latino workers were up 11 percent in 2004, after falling the two previous years;
- The rate of fatal work injuries among Latino workers also rose from 4.5 to 4.9 per 100,000 workers;
- Fatal falls shot up 17 percent last year, to a total of 815 the highest annual total ever reported by the fatality census for this type of injury;
- The construction industry recorded 1224 fatal workplace injuries, the most of any industry sector and an increase of 8 percent from 2003;
- The number of workers killed on the job in the manufacturing sector rose 9 percent, from 420 in 2003 to 459 last year;
- Fatal highway incidents rose slightly in 2004, from 1353 to 1374, reversing a two-year trend of declines in the category that accounts for the largest number of fatal occupational injuries;
- The number of workplace homicides fell sharply, from 632 in 2003 to 551 in 2004 the lowest annual total yet recorded by the fatality census.
The full BLS census of fatal occupational injuries report is available online at: www.bls.gov/news.release/cfoi.toc.htm.

TeenTech City of Tomorrow offers students the opportunity to apply their knowledge of science, technology and engineering to create their City of Tomorrow where no ideas are too big and everything is smarter, kinder and safer than before. The activity highlights career pathways in construction, engineering and technology and promotes good citizenship.
Schools, libraries, local councils, LEPs can register to participate here. If you are a parent or carer and would like to work with your child on this project, individual entries can also be made.
Working to the brief of "smarter, kinder, safer" young people, individually or in small teams, have to design and construct architectural models of buildings to sit on the footprint of an A4 card – but buildings can go out as well as up. Together they develop ideas for the connected city and consider how to use technology and the internet of things to improve how we will live, work and play in the future. Materials used to build project models should be recycled or cost no more than £10 if bought specially.
There will be a National Showcase for TeenTech City of Tomorrow at the Emirates Stadium, London, in 2020 for young people across the UK to showcase their buildings and ideas.
TeenTech City of Tomorrow is a versatile model, which can be implemented using our support materials, and programme management plan. You can:
- Run the activity in your primary or secondary school
- Become a 'hub school' and run the activity with all your feeder primaries
- Run the activity in an informal learning setting with a group of young people
To get started schools and informal learning providers can register their students and TeenTech will be in touch with the guidance documents you need to run the activity over a day, week or term.
Full guidance and curriculum-linked materials are available to schools and registered learning providers at no cost.

TeenTech is a CIC established to change perceptions of careers in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Construction. Over the last 5 years we have been privileged to work with thousands of young people and industry professionals to create amazing interactions that have sparked imaginations and begun amazing journeys. We are delighted to invite all schools and youth groups throughout the UK to join our new challenge 'TeenTech City of Tomorrow'. This challenges young people to address the issues facing the modern world in how we work, live and play. Through connecting industry and education we aim to support our leaders of tomorrow as they become responsible global citizens of today.
In my lifetime the population of our planet has doubled. The way we live is changing faster than at any time in human history. More people around the world are moving into urban areas, and consequently cities are growing and changing fast. This new human planet requires a radical shift in the way we're going to live together: How can we redesign cities? How can we use energy more efficiently? How can we plan infrastructure better? How can we move faster? How can we live healthier and happier lives? These challenges will require solutions from the next generation of scientists, thinkers and leaders. We need creative solutions wildly different from our old ways of thinking, which will rely on imagination and a bold new approach to science and engineering. With these new challenges will come exciting opportunities. We need brilliant young minds to think about tomorrow's cities and redesign our world for the better.

Always an exciting event when the postie delivers the first copy of a new book. 'Red Card' – out in January – has arrived from Barrington Stoke.
They are thrilled with it and say it's an outstanding story. I may try and script it as a film or radio drama in the future


text: Here's one for all the future quantum physicists and rocket scientists (some of my students will, hopefully, remember the phrase "you don't have to be a rocket scientist to..." that we talked about the other day) - and I guess my colleagues Mr. Feuerpfeil & Mr. Matthes would enjoy these a lot. The best thing is, many of the candy involved is actually available in Germany, too. Maybe an idea to keep in mind for this summer's School Fest?

Upcoming Events.....
Who we are: Triple Spiral of Dún na Sidhe is a Pagan spiritual community that gathers together to remember the Old Ways and hold sacred space to honor all of creation. We work, primarily, from a Celtic tradition with reference to the Native American and cross-cultural pagan wisdoms. The Women of Triple Spiral meet at the Full Moon to work in the Grove and invoke various aspects of the Goddess. At the Fire Feasts (Beltain, Lughnasa, and Samhain) we join with the Men of our community to participate in rituals that honor the connection and balance of female and male, Earth and Sky, Goddesses and Gods.
We meet to honor the Sacred Mother. We show respect to the Goddesss and Gods, Ancestors and Spirits of the Land. Dogma gets checked at the door. Any other spiritual paths you may follow are ok with us. Many of us wear several different layers simultaneously. Other manifestations of the Divine can be invoked in other times and spaces. We ask that you respect the privacy of the Sisters and Brothers and not share their names with people outside the Circle.
Our Story
My spiritual journey began in my childhood, surrounded by spirits and guides and drawing comfort from trees and water and sky. My father's family is a particularly American conglomeration of Celt and Cherokee, and my organic rhythms harmonized with those traditions. Catholic grade school brought another layer of spiritual thought and suppressed much of what had come before.
In my 20's I lived in NYC and found a number of teachers from different Native American traditions. I began to feel an awakening of inchoate spiritual longing.
When my daughter was born I got the first of what I have come to call "the cosmic 2by4 upside the head". A place needed to be made where girls could have ceremonies and learn about the Goddess, and stay attuned to their divine connection. Along with my spiritual "big sister", the Rev. Eugenia Lee Hancock, I started a Moon Circle where women came together and sought the Divine Feminine.
This need for Sacred Space, for women to come together and remember, took several turns until it landed here at Dún na Sidhe. This land is a gift for us all to make community and remember the old ways. After a year or so, we felt compelled (another cosmic 2by4) to make a place where the men and boys could join us. And so we began to celebrate the Celtic Fire Feasts as well as the Full Moons.
More cosmic 2by 4's , and we now are an incorporated 501c-3, have held classes for maidens, coming of age ceremonies for young men, have run two classes of women dedicated to priestess training, built a Labyrinth, expanded the Grove, and become the North American location for a WISE EARTH healing center through the RISE organization. My learning continues through association with teachers from Celtic, Avalonian, Native American, Daoist, and Senegalese faith traditions
I remain committed to making and holding space for the Goddess, for I believe that only when She is seen and held as sacred can the peoples of this Earth begin to repair the damage to our planet and cultures. We are continuing to be a tribute to our ancestors.
What comes next...
Our goals as a community continue to expand and evolve. Our new association with RISE (Revivers of Indigenous Spiritual Ecosystems) creates opportunities for our congregation to develop relationships with indigenous and pagan groups around the world. We are the North American site for the WISE EARTH healing centers that aim to protect and educate in the Old Ways. We will continue to enhance our training programs, and we have a new class for maidens scheduled to start in 2016.
On the Land we have dreams of opening up the old well that dates from colonial times, building a separate structure that can be a home for classes and ceremonies, and creating more permaculture features to love and care for the land itself.
I would love to see a training program and set of standards developed to guide women toward initiation as Priestesses of Triple Spiral of Dún na Sidhe. And in the works are Triple Spiral guided tours of Ireland and Scotland to visit sacred ancient sites and do ritual there.
Our community loves to sing, and we are in the process of designing a songbook of all the chants written by the women of Triple Spiral. We hope to have that available in 2016, along with downloadable music on this website.
I long to be continuously growing and open to the needs of this community- to serve the people of the now, those who have come before, and those that will come after.
Blessed Be

3,2,1....Happy New Year!!!!!!
The countdown begins…. 3, 2, 1. Happy New Year!!!
One of the things my family (and our friends who gather with us on New Year's Eve) have come to expect and sometimes dread is the time I call "Year in Review". So here is what I do. At some point on New Year's Eve, usually after dinner and before midnight, we gather in a comfortable space. Then I usually ask the questions: "When was God most present to you this past year?" and "What will this new year bring?"
Every year I get the same response – initially a lot of groaning and rolling of eyes, and that's from my friends. I won't tell you what my family says. But I push through and soon we are going around the room praising God and dreaming about how God will use us in this year to come. By doing this annual ritual we set goals and we become accountable to one another. I love it and, whether they admit it or not, my family and friends love it too. What an amazing way to start the year – with the sense of being heard and encouraged, and being accountable. It makes running the race and getting to the finish line that much more rewarding.
So let me ask you …
When did you see God at work in your life in 2014? Thank Him, Praise Him for how He has carried you through yet another year.
How will you allow God to use you this year? What does God want you to do for Him, for others and for yourself in 2015? What will it look like?
One thing I know for sure is that God wants amazing things for you. You are a child of God and He loves you. We are reminded of this truth in scripture. Check these out. Matthew 6:30, John 3:16-18, Deuteronomy 23:5, Revelation 1:6
Probably one of my favorite verses is found in Jeremiah 29. Verse 11 says:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
That is the kind of God that we have – a God who wants to love you, to protect you, to cherish you, and to prosper you. All we need to do is to be open to it. All we need to do is respond to God's love to us by being faithful and obedient. All we need to do is love Him back.
I am excited by all that God has in store for each of us in 2015!! May this New Year be a year of Praising God!
To God be the Glory for the things He has done … and the things He will do!
May I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very blessed New Year.
Families, of all configurations, are very important to us at Amberlea. Our ministry to the family is core to who we are and what we do. Would you consider sending a year-end gift to help families of Amberlea and the Amberlea community thrive in 2015?
If you have already sent in your contribution THANK YOU! But if you haven't, please consider giving generously right now.
Your year-end financial partnership will help equip parents to raise Godly kids, strengthen relationships and, most important, proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in 2015.
You can make your year-end gift online now. It's easy, quick and secure.
Thank you for supporting Amberlea!

Fantasticast Four #30: The Humanity Of Benjamin J. Grimm 10(ish)
Written by: Stan Lee (A rather nice writer)
Illustrated by: Jack Kirby (A quite noteworthy artist)
Inked by: Chic Stone (A somewhat nifty inker)
Lettered by: Art Simek (An occasionally neat letterer)
I guess this one counts, even though it's not a full return to human form.
One of the central conceits of this issue is that Diablo's alchemy is able to partially restore Ben's human form, reducing his monstrous exterior to little more than a severe skin complaint, whilst retaining a large portion of The Thing's strength. In the way of all such hokum, the reversion proves to be temporary, and appears to come with some kind of mental persuasion. Ben returns to his Thing form after only five pages.
What astonishes me is that Reed never went back to Diablo's alchemy to see if this temporary cure could be used as the base for a permanent one. Despite Diablo's nefarious intentions, he is able to partially reverse the transformation, and for an extended period of time. Unlike Reed's one-time use and temporarily effective cures, Diablo appears to be able to offer a workable solution that could be developed further. I guess this is counted as invalid due to it being created by a villain...

As a boy, I remember hearing a fable about a scorpion and a frog that goes something like this:
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they will both drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
Replies the scorpion: It's my nature …
As this Administration has doubled down and dug its heels in on its backroom deal with Iran, it's become more and more apparent that the frog in this story is us. The Obama Administration is forging a "diplomatic" relationship with a nation that is broadly known to be the world's foremost state sponsor of terrorism and somehow expecting not to get stung.
Worse still, the Administration is intent on misleading the American people while making broad concessions for Iran. How? The Administration misled the public about the terms of the arrangement with the Iranian regime, they misled the public about the nature of the payment they made to Iran during the release of American hostages, and they misled the public about why the money wasn't wired to Iran (as other recent payments have been).
This has to end. America isn't a follower, it's a leader. We don't devote our energies to making sure that terrorist states are happy. We devote our energies to peace—and diplomacy—through strength. We set the standard for the rest of the free world to follow. We make decisions with our eyes open.
This week, I supported two important pieces of legislation that aim to expose how the Iranian regime facilitates widespread human rights abuses and end the Obama Administration's practice of negotiating with terrorist states. The Iranian Leadership Asset Transparency Act would stop Tehran from financing terrorism or laundering money by requiring the federal government to publicly report all assets held by Iranian's top leaders. That's incredibly important if we are to put an end to terrorist attacks around the world. I also supported the Prohibiting Future Ransom Payments to Iran Act to prevent ransom payments from the U.S. to Iran in the future. The Obama Administration's intentionally deceptive cash payment to Iran sets a dangerous precedent for the future, and I will do everything I can to prevent that from happening again.

Re-Blog: Weekend Mindfulness/
Vacations are done, the kids are back in school, and you're definitely back to working at least 5 FULL days each week. Prevent the days from blurring together and practice mindfulness after work and on the weekends with these three incredibly easy tips.
Original article:
3 Mindful Things to Do When You Get Home from Work
Using mindfulness to picture your perfect Friday—and put it into practice.
By Elisha Goldstein | June 24, 2016
When we're at work—especially on a Friday—home is not far from our minds. We yearn for some down time, and the relaxation that comes from being with friends, family, or just resting by ourselves. But as the work day comes to an end, maybe we get stuck in rush-hour traffic, or we have to run a few errands that take more time than we'd like, and that picture-perfect Friday starts to dissipate. We arrive at our doorstep exhausted and irritated, and another night seems to fly by without us really noticing.
Bringing mindfulness to this experience can help us savor and appreciate the final hours of the day. You made it through the week, and you deserve a happy hour (or three!).
Bring these three mindful tips home with you and see what you notice.
When you get home from work:
1. Set your intention: Before you even step foot in the door, take a deep breath, soften your body as a way of becoming present, and take some time to think about how you want this evening to unfold. Do you want to spend time with your family? Do you want to relax in another way?
2. Hug something: It could be an animal, a loved one, or if there's no one else there, curl up in a ball and hug yourself. Hugging allows us to feel connected, soothes the body, and it sets us up to feel good for the rest of the evening.
3. Control your environment: Put on some soothing or playful music, bring some play into your environment, or put on some candles if you want it to be a relaxing evening.

Marriage, Gender, and Sexuality … yikes! These can be heavy, divisive, and extraordinarily misunderstood topics in todays social and political environments. But they are much more than hot-button topics for debate. Marriage, gender and sexuality are deeply meaningful and all three created by God with distinct clarity and purpose. This week, we will learn about what the Bible teaches on these topics and also discuss how to talk about them without diminishing His design or His love.

Focus: Luke 2:21-35
I recently saw an article about how our world wants Christians to be silent. They will grudgingly allow you to have your Christian beliefs, but don't share them and don't inconvenience them with those beliefs because they have the right to be non-Christian. It begs the question for all of us about how comfortable we are with speaking or living our faith. Most Christians are silent. They are careful not to offend people with their views. They will participate in a Sunday activity event even if it means missing church or do something shady in business. Yet what is the cost of keeping silent about our savior? What does Jesus really mean to you and to your future? Today, we will look at a man who could not keep silent. As he holds the baby Jesus in his arms, the whole world must know the reason for his hope and faith.
Simeon knows the reason for hope and so should we. For 400 years, the people of Israel have been waiting for God to act on their behalf. During that time, they have been overrun by Persians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. They have had to fight to keep their faith in a world where Zeus is king. Now God has acted and there is hope. God has not forgotten them. The child is that hope for he is the messiah that has been promised from the beginning of time. Simeon holds God's answer to all the problems that they face as people. It is a day of hope realized and hope gained.
What is your hope? In our country, I think hope is often about technology and money. If we have enough gadgets or if we get smarter we can conquer all the woes of the world. If we have enough money saved, we can live comfortably and retire with a life of ease. Yet, we look for hope in all the wrong places. With all our technology we cannot stop the war or world hunger. With all our money, we cannot make a better place. The reason is that none of that changes the hearts of men. We just have bigger bombs and more greed.
Can you give the reason for your hope? Simeon had no trouble giving the reason for his hope. Jesus was the hope of Israel, the salvation of Israel and the light of the world. He was the answer to man's need and the only way of hope and salvation. It was what he had been waiting for and he proclaimed it loudly. Could we tell people why our faith is in Jesus? If a microphone was given to you to tell the people around you what you believe about Jesus, could you tell them? Maybe, the question is would you tell them even if you know?
There are a lot of people out there who want to know why you are a Christian and why you believe the things that you do. They are tired of the false hope and salvation that the world has to offer. It hasn't worked and they are looking for something different. Hold the child in your arms and give them your response. You don't have to picket or change the laws. Just tell people what you know and believe about the child. Invite them to worship or to Sunday school or small group. Stop being a silent Christian and give people a reason for your hope. Amen.

My post is about my favorite fruit machine named "Floridita Fandango". I am writing this because I could not stop to share my experience and views and thoughts related with this one.
Basically this one is based on the Microgaming. Before 2-3 years I watched a movie fandango and that was pretty good. So I can play this one anywhere even at home, at office too. The best part about this one is my little brother john also likes its cute graphics. It includes many symbols and icons like cherries, some bar glasses with some candies and oranges.
When I started playing Australian pokies, they provided me demo for free, with no registration. When you will play with demo machine you will get to know about the process and the approaches what you will need to play it with real money.
There are only three simple steps will need to start it. First you need to download the casino software from the internet. This software's are 100 percent safe and secure for your pc or mobile. After that in the second step you need to sign up or register with it. In the last you will need to deposit some credit to the account to play it but most of gaming website gives first time bonus or welcome amount.
Generally I prefer to play online because I can play it anytime. No need to worry about the timing or place. So this is the best part about the video slots or other one. I hope this article will help you to find out the best ways to play and win more and handsome amount. So start playing with fun and excitement.

Several months ago I purchased a Little Meggie kick spindle from Heavenly Handspinning.
I spun on it a few times but then started working on more projects and having less energy to get to this by thte end of the day.
I recently found a kick spindlers group on Raverly and started poking around to see how other people were doing with their kick spindles. I realized that a part of why I hadn't gone back to spin was because I didn't enjoy it like I thought I would. After I watched a video of someone using their Mother Marion & rewatched the Little Meggie videos on YouTube, I had an epiphany...my spindle wasn't spinning as well as it should!
So dh & I investigated...the first thing you can actually see in my pic above...the top whorl is resting on the support post creating friction. That was the first thing to move. Next, I realized that the bearing in the base wasn't actually spinning...so it was creating more friction for the spindle shaft instead of helping. And it was actually creating a groove in the shaft where it was rubbing against the stationary bearing. Part of the problem was that the spindle shaft and the bearing are not square to each other. You can also see from the pic below that the spindle shaft is a bit bowed (to the right)...which doesn't help the situation either.
DH popped the bearing out of the hole & found there that it wasn't drilled evenly so the bearing wasn't sitting square. He scraped out a bit of wood from the side of the hole & put the bearing back.
At this point, the spindle shaft got smoothed down & shoved back in the bearing...I thought it was fixed. And for a few spins, the bearing ran smoothly...then it began to "stick" again and grind away at the spindle shaft again >:(
Now began the experiments to keep the shaft & the bearing together. I tried a piece of paper towel...which worked for a while but the paper got worn down by the pressure. DH suggested adhesive...I REALLY did not want to do that! Next was modeling clay. Again it worked for a while but got smooshed out by the pressure. At this point, I was getting really frustrated. I considered other things like a cotton ball, a rubber band, duct tape, and electrical tape. Tape options were out cuz of the "goo factor" and I wasn't confident that the others would actually do the trick for the long term.
So the next attempt was air line tubing from dh's fish tank equipment. The only problem was it wasn't a large enough diameter to easily fit over the shaft tip. We both tried stretching it to no avail...so I cut it. I now had a flat piece of tubing and thought it couldn't hurt at least try it in the hole, right?
Here it is
It works GREAT now!! I've only had it pop out of place once (cuz I put too much upward pressure on the bottom whorl when giving it a spin with my hand). The most important thing is that the shaft & bearing have not broken free of each other once! I am so happy now :D I was able to get thru the rest of the 2oz of BFL/CorrieX I had started 4 months ago in just a matter of a few more sessions with it. Now I just have to find something to wind it off on so I can start the other 2oz.
SO happy now!
11/17/08: Update
The piece of tubing started breaking down so I took another stab at rearranging the components to get the spin going right. I think the major problem with the bearing is that the hole is not flat inside. Since I don't have the right tools to scrape it out, I remounted the bearing up & away from the bottom of the hole. The sides of the hole are tight enough that it is secure. And the best part is that when I inserted the shaft & spun it, the bearing seated itself into the right angle for a fabulously long spin!
Here's a pic...

24 years ago today, on May 18, 1980, I was only 7 months and 2 days old. My mom and dad, ever since I was old enough to listen and understand, have told me that on that very day, they held me up on my Oma's balcony to watch as Mount St. Helens erupted, thrusting pillowed, dark smoke into the Washington sky. I don't remember it, unfortunately, but I've always liked thinking back, as each anniversary of the eruption has passed, and knowing that I was there to witness such an amazing display of the power of Mother Nature.

Site Showcase: Bravebird Studio
Client's Site Description: Business and Portfolio website
Template Chosen: Juke
Why did you choose that template?: I generally stick with the Brine family of templates and Juke spoke to me when I was choosing my own site template.
What was the Client's Objective?: I wanted a site where I could really show off some of the great design features of Squarespace and the Brine family has the most options and flexibility.
Tell us a bit about the design process?: I used the same process on myself as I do with clients. I answered questions about my ideal client and goals, I created a Pinterest inspiration board and mood board. And I designed the website with all of that as my guide. This site took a little longer than the usual two weeks though because I was responsible for all of the content creation (images and copy). ;)
How did you help the client differentiate their business through design?: I wanted to showcase my specific aesthetic and style while still keeping the website clean, modern, and easy-to-navigate. I used custom branding elements for originality and personalization.
Is there custom development? What about custom added CSS? Can you tell us why you did or did not use these edits?: Yes, lots. Because this was my website, I used CSS a little more than I do for clients. I customized things like the "read more" link on blog posts, button hover colors, and navigation links. I also added an accordion FAQ section, a text background color for my packages, and a custom "Pin It" button to blog images.
What are the top three creative features you used in the design?: Parallax scrolling, summary blocks for testimonials and related blog posts, and a sidebar plugin for my blog page. (When is Brine going to offer a sidebar?!)
Anything else you want us to know about the site?: I had a lot of fun designing this website and learned A LOT too!
Vendors used?: I produced all of the photography for the site. I used a remote shutter release for my About page header and all of the stock photography throughout the site is mine. In fact, I will be adding a Stock Shop to the Bravebird website soon!
Designer: Judea Johnson from Bravebird Studio
Site Name: Bravebird Studio (my site)
