My husband and I own rental properties, so this guest post caught my interest when I found it in my inbox. As of now, we only purchase homes within driving distance from our personal home, but in the future it would be adventurous to spread out a little. San Antonio is close enough to us that we visit there a few times a year, so why not invest in their real estate if the prices are right.
Don't let past upheavals in the housing industry scare you off from investing. Real estate still remains one of the most rewarding and fulfilling investment opportunities available. While real estate is in general a good idea, being that people will always need houses, the specific place plays an important part as well. Sunny San Antonio, with its enviable climate, cultural offerings, and friendly residents, could easily be the perfect place for your next real estate investment.
Location Is Key
Going back to specifics, you always have to think about where you're investing. Although you could invest in, say, San Francisco or New York City with success, those markets are tighter. NYC is expensive enough that it's hard to find anyone to use your property, and while the same is true for hotspots like San Francisco, there's also the factor of California's fault lines and possible natural disasters.
In contrast, San Antonio is practically a foolproof location. It's warm enough to appeal to snow birds or retirees fleeing cold winters, yet young and hip enough that it also appeals to residents in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. The place you choose to invest is an essential consideration, and San Antonio is likely to please you as an investor and a resident, not to mention any potential renters. Check out all the fun things there are to do in San Antonio.
You Have a Tangible Investment
Investing in stocks or bonds is certainly tempting, but that leaves too much up to chance. When you invest in real estate, you can see your investment. You can touch it, smell it (if you're into that), and improve upon it. It will become a hot commodity for you and it's practically guaranteed to bring in more income.
In fact, the potential for a high return is directly related to its tangibility. Especially if you choose a property or space you can rent out for the long-term, you will have money coming in regularly. You even have control over how much you earn, because with respect to negotiating and being open to your rental market, you control the rent.
It's Guaranteed Retirement
Saving up for your retirement is difficult, simply because you're sure you have time. As a result, it's all too easy to spend any money you set back for your golden years. By investing in real estate, however, it all but forces you into saving for retirement. With the right planning, you can transfer all of your rental income into your retirement savings plan, or use the money to move into a comfortable, long-term residence such as The Forum at Rancho San Antonio. You'll be taken care of, even if you find saving difficult.
You're Promoting Diversity
Diversity is never a bad thing. It's fantastic in life and it's vital in your portfolio. You don't have to give up your other investments, even if you have a taste for popular stocks or other assets. Adding real estate holdings to your portfolio actually lessens your overall risk. You have a decent chunk placed in a practically foolproof return, plus you're enjoying a long-term return on your initial investment.
Just make sure you choose the right investment for your needs and skills, and think before choosing a residential property or a commercial leasing opportunity. Does San Antonio appeal to your investment urges?

This just in… Only thous after the Detroit Tigers entered the fray, the Atlanta Braves and the San Francisco Giants have also asked inquired about Hairston according to Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger. Yep… As I said, Hairston is as good as gone… Even a platoon catcher or left fielder would have looked good instead of another empty spot on the 40 man roster…. We have been bleeding talent for three off-seasons now and the team is still hemorrhaging… By the way, almost two months down and my prediction that there wouldn't be any "wholesale changes" is looking better and better…. Only 2 1/2 more months until Mets Spring Training Camp opens. Are ya ready? LETS GO METS!

I'm sharing my epic moments thanks to Schick Hydro® as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #MakeItEpic
I always thought that I would never ski. Why would I? I live in the south. For Father's Day, no man in my family will ever get ski poles or curling equipment as a gift. Growing up down here, we never had much use for snow and ice and winter sports were just something you'd see on a commercial or the Olympics. As I got older, I noticed that people around me were leaving to go play in the snow, and returning with stories of mountain adventures. It would take a visit to Breckenridge, Colorado to convince me that I could snowboard, or why I should have taken a lesson first, or just listened to that voice in my head and stayed in the bar.
I've been to Colorado a few times, but it was always in the summer, when school teachers have nine free weeks to go crazy. Estes Park had been the destination each time and why not. Love that place! It is the dopest. Beautiful summer weather with a hike up an 11,000 ft peak. There is absolutely nothing better. This time, however, it was February and freezing. When you're from the tropics, the cold and snow can be fun in small, very small bursts. Everybody in Breck was doing something outside. Playing on the delicious slopes with all manner of toys. With all my friends on the mountain, I decided to abandon my perch at the Gold Pan Saloon and purchase my first-ever lift ticket. It was time for me to carve the pow-pow. Whether you are an emergent snowboarder or a seasoned professional, hopefully you'll find these tips poignant and useful.
Lessons In Poor Snowboarding
- Gear: Anyone who knows me knows I focus on fashion before safety. I'm not sure if I was wearing a baseball cap or a ski cap that day, but neither would have helped much considering how hard the back of my head hit the ground. And I thought snow was soft. Ski caps are fun to wear when the mercury drops below 60 on a Florida camping trip. Like bicycle trail riding, it only takes one low branch to convince you to wear a helmet. Also, blue jeans may look good on experienced athletes who never touch the snow, but for someone who is sitting in it all day, they make your butt cheeks freeze together. Not sexy.
- Ski club/Restaurant: Whatever they call it. It doesn't matter that you can see it all day as you pull yourself down the mountain, it doesn't get any closer. It's not like I could go any faster. If you get heavy snow all over your board, remember not to bang it on a tree to remove it. The vibration may release more snow in the overhead branches and bring it down on you. Yes, that could really happen. If you are a beginner and you cheat the fates enough to make it to the lodge, don't carry your board inside. Realizing that you passed everybody else's boards and skis outside and you are the only one holding one at the bar can be rough. As if it wasn't obvious enough already.
- Safety: Pay attention to what lift you get on. Apparently they have names or colors but pay attention, because it matters. Some go to places with guard rails and safety harnesses that enclose gentle slopes. Some go straight up the face of mountains before dumping you out on deserted, snowy crags. I figured even James Bond had to learn some things on the fly. How hard could it be? To the ski patrol, I must have looked like some kind of spastic flopping down the mountain. Even though the snowboard refused to go where I told it, surprisingly, walking was not an option either. You wouldn't expect that. The snow where people were skiing was so packed, it was like greased ice, impossible to walk on without slip sliding away. The forest is also, not an option. You can't walk down, hidden in the woods like a sissy, because the snow is six feet deep, straight out of a Lewis and Clark journal. I find it difficult to walk in snow up to my chest. You'd think there would be a nice, graded sidewalk for redneck imbeciles.
- Appearance: My beard was perfect as I carried by board down the mountain like a Sherpa. I should have been forced to shave off my man-beard after that sickly performance. I really don't deserve to look as good as I do. Fortunately, I didn't have to get rid of the whole package. It's a breeze to keep everything tidied up. With the Schick Hydro 5 Groomer I can shave, groom, edge, and hydrate all throughout one shave. I sound like a Boca Raton lawn. As excited as I was to order that from my barber, now I can take care of it at home. This is the perfect Father's Day gift. The Hydro 5 Groomer has a razor at one end and an adjustable power trimmer at the other. On the professional snowboarding circuit I often get asked to share a personal grooming secret. Well, there you go. Both fathers and sons…be well groomed.
Buy two participating Men's Schick or Edge products in a single transaction and get two Fandango Movie Tickets up to a $20 total value. This promotion runs through July 10th. Follow Schick on Facebook and Twitter.
Hopefully, you could use these Breckenridge snowboarding tips. What is your best tip for snow sports?

A holiday to Goa isn't complete without experiencing the beautiful beaches of South Goa. Grab your sunscreen, a coconut and prepare to spend some serious holiday time on the beach. We've designed summer to give you a perfect beach holiday with the comforts of a clean room and bathroom, all walking distance from the waves.
Rent a kayak or a stand up paddle, head to monkey island and give your typical Indian sunset a whole new meaning.
Beach. Sun. Sand. Waves. Beer. Football. Sunscreen. Coconuts. Frisbee. Cocktails. Palm trees. Beer. Ocean. Sunset.
Jump off the waterfalls of Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary as part of your Jungle Adventures Canyoning Tour.
According to the reviews, we've got the best hot water showers in India, although we think this probably has something to do with getting rid of the sand after an amazing day at the beach. Choose between AC and non-AC dorms or go all in and book yourself into a private room. Whichever you choose, you'll have a safe, clean and friendly place to get good night's sleep so that you're all set to do it all over again the next day.

Root on Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop update N910PVPU1BOB7 using CF-Auto root has worked. The N910PVPU1BOB7 was officially pushed on March 05, 2015 from N910PVPU1ANK2 4.4.2 KitKat to 5.0.1 Lollipop. So those who got the update and lose root and might want to regain it back then you may use the CF-Auto. Once your Galaxy Note 4 is rooted you can also install the TWRP recovery if you want to customize your device further.
The CF-Auto Root method has been confirmed and it worked fine according to our fellas at XDA-Developers. But then again this rooting process is for advanced users only and not highly recommended for those who are not tinkerers in the first place.
In addition, installing root in your Galaxy Note 4 trips the Knox flag, which means you will be unable to use any of the Knox features anymore. Some company requires KNOX to its employees for security purposes. So if you don't want to screw up KNOX then do not root your phone.
Disclaimer: Use of this rooting guide is solely at your own risk!
Make sure to recharge your Galaxy Note 4.
It is highly recommended to make a back up all important files stored from your phone's internal memory – contacts, messages, etc. before flashing, just to be safe and ensure that your stored data are in safe if something went wrong during the rooting process.

Of EVERLOST, School Library Journal wrote: "Shusterman has reimagined what happens after death and questions power and the meaning of charity. While all this is going on, he has also managed to write a rip-roaring adventure…"
Of UNWIND, Publishers Weekly wrote; "[A] gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller…could hardly be more engrossing or better aimed to teens."
Of THE SCHWA WAS HERE (Winner of the 2006 Boston Globe/Horn Book Award), School Library Journal wrote: "Shusterman's characters–reminiscent of those crafted by E. L. Konigsburg and Jerry Spinelli–are infused with the kind of controlled, precocious improbability that magically vivifies the finest children's classics.
Of SCORPION SHARDS, Publisher's Weekly wrote: "Shusterman takes an outlandish comic-book concept, and, through the sheer audacity and breadth of his imagination makes it stunningly believable. A spellbinder."
And of THE EYES OF KID MIDAS, The Midwest Book Review wrote "This wins our vote as one of the best young-adult titles of the year" and was called "Inspired and hypnotically readable" by School Library Journal.

text: We have lived in the same house for almost a decade. We have never had any pets and haven't even had anyone else's pets in our home recently (within at least 6 months or more). Just in the last 24 hours I've started seeing quite a few fleas on my feet and lower legs (summer clothes…shorts and no shoes). And these are definitely inside the house; not brought in from outside. I would have thought without pets the possibility of getting a fleas infestation inside our home would be remote at best. And they've appeared so suddenly. Have never noticed any before about 24 hours ago. We keep a relatively clean house (vacumning about once a week usually). So ultimately I wanted to know if this is a situation you are familiar with and how common (or uncommon) is it?

Earlier this week I made arrangements to get some legos from my neighbor's mom who was looking to get rid of some legos she had.
I jumped at the chance to take them off her hands because my kids LOVE legos. All three of them. And their creativity with them truly amazes me. (I'm not just saying that because they are my kids, mkay? I have friends that will vouch for my kids' awesome ways with legos.)
Anyway, this morning the neighbor messaged me on Facebook and said she was going to the store, but she'd leave the tin of legos out on her front step for me.
Seeing that I wasn't dressed yet, I asked Lazy Dad, who was dressed, if he'd go fetch them.
"I need you to run next door and pick up a tin from the neighbor for me."
"What?" he said with a slightly confused look on his face.
"I need you to run next door to the neighbor's and pick up a tin."
"What are they giving you a ten for?"
Realizing he meant the dollar bill, I said, "A tin! A tin!" as I drew a round container in the air with my hands.
He paused for a second then he said, "Ohhhhh, a TIN."
While this conversation did not amuse me at all while we were having it; by the time I left the kitchen and walked into my bedroom I started to giggle. Clearly I was speaking of a tin. Right? But to his little Northern ears, it sounded like a ten.
And okay, after I had thought about it during that walk from the kitchen to the bedroom, maybe I did say tin the same way I said ten. In fact, I'm pretty sure I say them the same exact way. In FACT, I wasn't really sure there were two ways to pronounce tin and ten until Lazy Dad pronounced tin differently than ten.
Are you following me?
So as I giggled over this conversation I had with Lazy Dad and the revelations that ensued, I posted on Facebook, "The hazards of being married to a Northerner: I asked him to go pick up a tin from the neighbors… which apparently to him sounded like a 'ten.'"
Several commenters became concerned that Lazy Dad demanded the neighbors give him a ten instead of a tin. Which made me really laugh. (I mean, that image is funny!) But don't worry! I soothed their concerns away when I told them that the crisis was averted thanks to the use of hand gestures that had to be implemented in the conversation. (Which is also funny.)
Then my Southern friends on Facebook started wondering what on earth a 'tin' was exactly and why was I sending Lazy Dad to go get one? They wondered what on earth Northerners DID with such things called 'tins?'
I was laughing so hard I was crying while I explained that I was speaking of a cookie, or popcorn, or Christmas 'tin.' To which one Southern friend of mine replied, "Oh. I only use that word in December."
Oh, people, you can't make this stuff up!
And all because of one little tin.

Only in Texas.
Good one - but are you sure it is in Texas - I thought it would have been bigger - isn't everything bigger in Texas???
Damnyank, If you look closely, you can see it`s a Texas noose, and look closer still, and you will see "The Duke" hiding in the bushes.
My eyes must be failing me (not really but I don't want to tell Smokie my hair got in my eyes) - once I expanded the pic I now see "The Duke" and once expanded - it does look closer to "Texas Size"!
OOh yes, Damnyank, I can see we are really getting along fine together.

Over weight is a serious problem faced by many people and most of them follow exercises and diet to get rid of the excess weight. Even then many are unable to shed weight. There are many herbs that help people to reduce weight and these herbs act by increasing the metabolic rate, thermogenesis and by improving the digestion to promote weight loss.
Certain other herbs facilitate the loss of weight by removing the excess water from the body and they are called diuretics. These natural weight loss methods have very few side effects and are cheap when compared to other weight loss programs.
Comparatively herbs are safe, but the usage of certain herbs for weight loss is restricted due to their harmful side effects.Herbal laxatives like cascara, diet tea, senna, rhubarb root, buckthorn etc may lead to diarrhea, cramping, and may impair the movement of bowel. Ephedra, herbal fen-phen are other herbs which in high doses raise blood pressure, over stimulate central nervous system and increase heart rate and hence the chances of having heart diseases are more if they are continuously used.
Herbs that are Safe for Weight Loss
Cayenne which contains an ingredient known as capsaicin stimulates the production of saliva and improves the digestion. It also accelerates the metabolic rate and aids in burning fat. Seaweed which is a major source of trace elements such as iodine and chromium stimulate the thyroid gland and thyroid gland increases the rate of metabolism and fat burning. Guggul helps to lower the cholesterol level in the blood and affect the metabolism to reduce the weight.
Garcinia is highly beneficial for reducing the weight. It contains hydroxycitric acid which helps in suppressing the appetite and reducing the body's ability to convert carbohydrate in to fats. Thus it inhibits the deposition of fat tissues. More over the hydroxycitric acid helps to burn fat while exercising.
Coleus forskohlii aids in losing weight by promoting the breakdown of fat deposits. It also prevents the formation of new adipose fat tissues by stimulating the metabolic rate through improved thyroid functioning.
Similarly green tea, St.Johns wort, oat straw, flax seed, psyllium seed, ginger etc can help to reduce weight. Before starting with any herb it is ideal to consult the doctor who can prescribe the best herb for your health condition.

The strangeness began as I stood on the shingle in my Wellington boots and looked out in disbelief. The clouds were still stitched to the sky but the sea was close pounding the shore, white topped waves high and powerful. The waves crashed on the shingle, pulling pebbles back onto the sand.
"This is all wrong," I said to no one. But something was wrong. I could feel it.Every day I walk the coast from Worthing Pier to the Sea Lane Cafe in Goring, and back. Sometimes I walk on the promenade, occasionally on the wet shingle playing catch-me with the retreating waves at the end of each groyne, but other days far out on the wet sand among the squabbling seagulls and curiously running little pied wagtails.
I read the tide tables as if they are a book. The fine print tells me a story. The changing pull of the moon dictates my footwear. Is it to be trainers for the promenade or Wellington boots for the beach?
When the sea is right out I am unconnected, in a different world, the pier like a gigantic insect astride the sand on multiple legs, the sea-front hotels and terraced 18th Century houses lost in haze, the ugly multi-storied car park mercifully shrouded from view by the band stand. (They pulled down the elegant Grafton House to build that monstrosity. They should have gone underground, like Mole.) I know it's haunted. When I pass by late at night, I hear the clunk-clunk of croquet balls and the tinkle of china tea cups.
My watch said 4.20 p.m. A 6'3'' high tide had been at 11.31 a.m. The sea should be seeping far out by now, nudging the distant pale horizon.
"Misprint," I said aloud, dismissing it. But I knew it wasn't. No one else had noticed the change but I know the tide times by heart. Something had gone wrong with the tide.
The churning sea matched my annoyance as I stumbled and slithered down the steep bank of shingle and trudged along the water's edge, climbing over each slippery weed-hung groyne. It was hard work.
"You got it wrong," I shouted to the waves. I often talk to the sea. It matches my moods. It is a satisfactory conversationalist, mirroring my thoughts, answering back with a myriad of reflected twinkles in its eye. No words, just a rush of water.
A dog came leaping out of the waves, plumed and eager, stepping high as a thoroughbred racehorse. It came bounding over and shook itself, the spray flying like crystal rain from its pale coat.
"Hello," I said, my ill-humour vanishing. "You're a nice dog. What's your name? Maybe I shall call you Flora, after Flora Macdonald."
The dog barked and bounded off, wanting to play. There was a lot of greyhound in her. I wished I had a ball. I don't throw stones for dogs. It wasn't fair when they could never find them. And I hated the thought of sharp flints carried in tender mouths.
"How did you know her name?"

This past Wednesday our Advisory Neighborhood Commission had their February meeting. If you missed it, you're in luck! We videotaped the whole thing. You can view the meeting in 16 segments at our You Tube page. Here are some highlights:
We got an update from Lieutenant Durand of Police Service Area 506. He assured us that there is no "crime wave" in Brookland. There is no news on the Silvestre's armed robbery or the CVS "smash and grab" robbery. There is an uptick in car break-ins along 12th Street and burglaries. We asked the Lieutenant what coordination is taking place regarding the armed robberies by masked men using vans in Brookland and nearby such as the two robberies of a convenience store on the 300 Block of Hawaii Avenue and the attack on a Postal Worker. He responded that the Postal Service case is not theirs, and that he would not assume a connection between any of these crimes, and that they do coordinate along police district areas.
There were updates from all ANC Commissioners for their Single Member Districts, except for 5B02, Ursula Higgins, who was not present at the meeting. While that may seem insignificant on the surface, it was great news for those who would like to see Steel Plate, the new restaurant from the owners of Rustik, come as soon as possible. Because there was no vote on, or even mention of, the restaurant's liquor license application, it looks like smooth sailing as the timeframe to protest the license will end before the March ANC meeting. Here are the updates from the other SMDs.
ANC Commissioner for 5B01, Shirley Rivens-Smith will be having SMD meetings every month. For the March meeting, there will be a viewing of a documentary of the history of South Africa and there will be information about new DC tax laws.
ANC Commissioner for 5B03, Michael Morrison, has not set up monthly SMD meetings yet. However, he is setting up a meeting in mid -March with representatives of DC's Fire and EMS Department regarding the well publicized death of Mr. Medric Mills, who collapsed in the parking lot of a shopping center at 1309 Rhode Island Avenue in January.
ANC Commissioner for 5B04, Carolyn Steptoe, announced that she will no longer hold monthly SMD meetings because they "cause a ruckus among some people". She mentioned a few developments in her SMD: 901 Monroe, Brookland's Finest, Jackson Place Lofts and the Lock 7 condos, but didn't offer any updates on them. She also encouraged the community to participate in a mentoring program at Luke C Moore Academy.
ANC Commissioner for 5B04, Janese Jones, announced that she will be holing meetings every other month. She gave an update on the construction of the Brookland Middle School.
We thought readers would be interested in this presentation about the development project from Oxbridge Development for the property they purchased on 9th street between Kearny and Lawrence, Streets NE. The project team is seeking a zoning change for the development and were hoping for a vote from the ANC, but none was taken.

The Mumm Napa Brut Prestige reveals how good the results of blending wines can be, especially when they are being blended for a sparkling wine like this. This sparkling wine is both fruity and spicy, a little sweet without being overly sweet, and pairs well with a number of different dishes. Mumm Napa Brut Prestige is definitely worthy trying if you're willing to buy a moderately priced sparkling wine.
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut is not the highest rated or best known French Champagne, but it's a remarkably good French champagne. It's also reasonably priced, at least compared to the better known champagne brands. So if you'd like to try to good French champagne to see what the fuss is all about but don't want to break the bank, you should get some Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut.
The 2006 Seven Heavenly Chards Chardonnay is a medium-to-full bodied dry wine with smooth acidity. Like the aromas, the flavors of this chardonnay are most like spiced apple pie, some butter, and perhaps some citrus notes. The alcohol can be fairly pronounced so this is a chardonnay that should be drunk well chilled.
The St. Francis Winery 2008 Chardonnay is a straw-golden color with green-tinged edges and nice clarity. The flavors of this dry, full-bodied Chardonnay are very aromatic and consist mostly of apple, pear, and creamy vanilla. The acidity is strong enough to make the St. Francis Chardonnay quite refreshing.
The 2008 Wyatt Chardonnay is a pale greenish-yellow with clear edges. The nose of the Wyatt Chardonnay is clean with distinct notes of pear, melon, and other tropical fruits. This Chardonnay is a dry, full-bodied wine with crisp acidity and moderate flavor intensity. For a Chardonnay that isn't oaked at all it's hard to avoid the impression that it still tastes a little oaky, but that's countered a bit by the mineral flavors.

Hi, I'm new on this board so please bear with me. ^^;
I am having a wonderfully terrible time trying to decide which school of animation would be the one for me. I have been accepted to both Sheridan College and Concordia University and I cannot for the life of me decide on which school I would rather go to.
I have heard Sheridan's program is a tough one to get accepted to - I was thrilled to learn I was accepted! I know I would like going to Sheridan college and I know the program is great.
My dilemma is that I am very attracted to Montreal. I also love Canadian animation and I have heard that Montreal is where it's at for working in Canadian animation. But I do not know a whole lot about Concordia's animation program. I don't know if it is as good of a program as Sheridan's. I am worried that I will not be able to reach my artistic potential if I go to a program that is not as good. Naturally, I wish to be the best artist I can be. Or am I over-stressing?
Another thing that concerns me is this: A lot of my friends tell me that I will not be able to expand my creative horizons in animation: they say i'll be unhappy because I will not be able to have any creative input into what I am doing. I don't believe that, but I also really want to explore my creativity and be a unique artist.
I know that Sheridan has co-op in third year i believe (?) Would it be possible to go to Montreal for co-op?
If anyone can give me any insights, experiences, or just knowledge on the programs and atmospheres of either school, it would be wonderful if you could share!

I just received these adorable Born Pretty Snowflake decals just in time for some cute winter nail art. These were delicate but sturdy decals, and I handled them mainly with a pair of tweezers. I did have to press them down a bit against my nail with an orange stick and sealed them with a nice layer of top coat.
I thought the gold would look nice against a soft almost white gray so I decided to go with this gorgeous piCture pOlish Lakodom, packed with a ton of subtle micro-glitter. It took me 3 coats to reach full opacity, the formula was easy to work with and did not clump up at all. Yet another excellent polish from the ladies at piCture pOlish
On my middle two fingers I used piCture pOlish Bette to create a gradient for the background of my penguins. I free-handed the penguins using Julep Daria, Julep Winter, China Glaze Liquid Leather, and China Glaze Snow.
The wonderful Allison of Born Pretty sent us a few nail art items for review and we will be sharing them in a few separate posts. The first item up for review are the rhinestones (Item #15228). If you use the offer code DGG10, you'll get 10% off at the born pretty store! How awesome is that?
These are super cute multi color rhinestones, at about 1-2mm in diameter. In different angles, the rhinestones change from a bright green and yellow to a lovely pink and bronze. I loved the small size as well as the shift in the color. I thought that these were a perfect addition to my accent nails and my nails still looked classy and practical. I personally like to keep the amount of 3D decorations on my nail minimal. Just a little here and there can make a huge difference, no need to go overboard.
I have a few more ideas in mind for how I would like to use these. Here is one look using grays and small pops of color to balance out the colors in the rhinestones.
Placing the rhinestones: I applied a layer of top coat, then used tweezers to place them. You might want to apply a 2nd layer of top coat after placing the rhinestones to seal them in.
I am continuing the Game of Thrones House Sigils challenge. This one features House Stark of Winterfell. I tried to capture the cold snow from Winterfell with a gray-dark gray gradient and sponged some medium-small sized glitter for the snow. On my accent nail, I painted the direwolf in black and topped it with some subtle hex glitters to mimic the snow effect.

on Emmitsburg Winters of Old
As I began to ascend the ladder toward the last of
the dirty windows, I found it hard to accept that it was
January. I was so warm in fact that I had dared to
remove my shirt and was even toying with putting on some
shorts. Where had the blustery winters and deep snows of
my youth vanished to, I thought?
I had been looking forward to winter all year. With
the horses off on a well-deserved vacation and the
gardens put to bed, I had envisioned a few months in
front of a fire doing nothing but reading and writing.
But with temperatures soaring into the 60's, and skies
of bright blue, it was impossible to resist the call to
be outside.
Blame it on Global Warming, El Nino,
or El Nina, no matter how you cut it, this was one
winter that would not be remembered for its severity.
Come to think of it, since moving to Emmitsburg, I have
only experienced one winter that revived the winter
memories of my youth, that being the winter of 1992-93
and its blizzard of blizzards. But even as formidable at
that 1992 storm was, modern technology provided ample
warning of its approach so we were ready and life pretty
much returned to normal within hours of its end.
As I lathered on some more sun
tanning oil, I found myself wondering what life was like
during a winter storm in Emmitsburg of long ago.
Unfortunately, it proved just a tad too difficult to
visualize a cold winter, especially given that I was
sucking down a frozen strawberry daiquiri at the time.
But just when I was considering breaking out my summer
stock of rum, the jet stream headed south and winter
returned with a vengeance. Suddenly it wasn't so hard
to imagine being a kid in Emmitsburg in a winter long,
long ago, especially with the help of the older 'kids'
in the Emmitsburg Historical Society.
Unlike today, children in the 1930's
and '40's didn't have any fancy weather forecasts,
weather channels or instant weather on the net. If a
storm was approaching, their mom's would rarely tell
them, lest they raise hopes of school closings and the
mischief those thoughts would bring the night before the
If your mom was really, really good,
your first inkling of a major winter storm would be in
the morning when you awoke to discover Emmitsburg had
become a winter wonderland. However, if you were lucky
and had a friend, Aunt, or Uncle with rheumatism, you
usually had fair warning of any approaching storm and
thus never wasted a night before a storm in useless
No matter how bad the storm was or
how deep the snow, kids always got ready for school.
Unlike the wimpy, pampered kids of today, our
grandparents were expected to stand out in the cold and
wait for the bus no matter how bad the weather. Only
well past the appointed time of arrival did their moms
finally acknowledge that school just might really be
closed. But if the bus came, off to school they went,
where they would spend the day wishing for more snow and
an early end to the day.
Emmitsburg was a kid's haven in the
winter. With hills and ponds a many, it boasted some of
the best sledding and ice skating around. While almost
forgotten today, in younger days places like Bunker
Hill, Havilih, and Popular Hill were names that every
child knew. At any given time, thirty to forty sleds
raced down these prime sledding spots. But if it was
time-on-the-sled one was looking for, then Irish Town
Road, as it was affectionately called back then, was the
place to be. Starting at the top of the hill near Saint
Joseph's, one could slide clear down to the 'Wharf'
at Flat Run Creek (just behind Jubilee).
When it came to skating, Emmitsburg
was tops. Skating was so good, in fact, that kids in
Thurmont would often be seen crying and even cursing
their parents for not having the foresight to settle in
Emmitsburg. By far, the best skating was at
Creek's Bridge. A pond, almost a
quarter of a mile long, formed behind the old Maxell
mill race dam, and offered a smooth surface that twisted
and turned through beautiful Tom's Creek Valley.
Whether your goal was to skate fast or to skim slowly
hand-in-hand with the one you loved, Tom's Creek
offered it all.
Other prime skating destinations
included Flat Run, whose thick tree screen provided
protection from biting winter winds, and the Old Mount
St. Mary's Pond, drained long ago for a new student
hall. But it was Fraily's pond that offered Toms Creek's
its greatest competition. Located just to the west of
town, 200 yards south of the Dough Boy's statue, it
was a popular spot for skaters who had grown too old to
skate with their parents. Fraily's pond was laced with
small caves around its perimeter, in which fires would
burn all night. On the ice, or around the fires, those
who would soon face the horror of terrible wars
frolicked with friends and loved ones into the wee hours
of the morning.
Without TV to entertain them,
everyone still found something to do. Whether you
skated, sledded, or simply played cards, a winter storm
offered a chance for everyone to stop and take notice of
the good things in one's life. But before winter play
could begin, chores had to be attended to. If you lived
on a farm, milking was always the first order of
business for girls. For boys, it was the stocking of
fire wood and coal, cleaning ashes from the stoves and
burners, and drawing water for kettles that simmered all
day, and provided the only warm water in many houses.
Winter storm breakfasts were reasons
for feasts, too, often consisting of 'pudding' and
corn cakes, pastries and other sweet treats. Pudding of
course being a ghastly concoction of dead everything
boiled down to pure artery choking lard. But boy did it
taste good!
For those lucky enough to have a
storm hit on their mother's shopping day, a trip to
town on a sled was the order of the day. Though the long
walk back seemed a lot longer then the ride in, the
sight of the town asleep in the snow provided memories
that lasted lifetimes. Memories that are as vivid today
as the day they were formed.
And yes, snows were much deeper back
then, and according to Historical society members, it
had nothing to do with the fact they were only a quarter
of their present height! Many tales are told of fences
disappearing for months at a time - fences that still
dot the countryside, viewable to all who dare to doubt.
Snows were so frequent and heavy that it was often
possible to step over fences that were otherwise
Winter storms of course meant money
for enterprising kids. Work clearing driveways and
walkways could be readily found at ten cents an hour.
While today's kids have snow blowers to make quick
work of it all, back then, kids moved snow one shovel
full at a time. While cars were on their way to
predominance, heavy snows often forced them to yield
their role once again to horses. Untroubled by the cold,
icy roads, or deep drifts, teams broke from the fields
and pulled sleighs of gleeful children. Returning at
dusk with their cargo full of joy, they were rewarded
for their service with bran mashes and an hour long
Like the masters they loved, dog's
relished the fresh snow, too, playing with each other
from first light till fatigue caused them to wander
home. Some would bury their head deep in the snow,
others would prance about, as if putting on a show. Only
shorthaired little dogs failed to see enjoyment in snow,
instead they sought warmth, curled in front of a hot
As evening descended, all scattered
toward home and the hot meals that waited by fires that
would warm. Evenings were full of games of all sorts -
Chinese checkers, gin rummy and games of that sort. But
no snowy night was complete without the popping of corn.
On really snowy nights, taffy pulling was performed.
Heated bedrooms were a luxury that
few could afford and electric blankets, while nice, were
yet to be born. The fire did beckon as bedtime
approached, and the distance to the fire reflected the
order of go. The goal need I say, was to suck up enough
heat, in hopes of staying warm through the cold night to
come. The one beauty of winter was it made friends of us
all. It was impossible to be mad at one's brother or
sister, for you depended on them for warmth as you laid
back to back.
Nestled deep in flannel sheets and
under quilts of all sizes, children laid as still as
they could, lest toes touch the cold reaches. With time
and perseverance, sheets eventually warmed to their
liking, and before they knew it, into sleep they had
fallen. A sleep full of dreams and high only a child
dares muster, such as another full day of winter's
white bluster.
Any story of snow would not be
complete without recollection of snowmen and snow forts,
and other creations imaginations would create. Taking
cue from the oldest, a handful of snow was rolled until
it grew. Starting with the youngest, who got first crack
at the rolling, it grew in size till they could not move
it. Standing in line, the next oldest would advance it,
till they too could not move. The routine was continued
till the oldest was done and there at that spot, the
snowman was begun. Drawing coal from the coal chest, and
a carrot for a nose, the face soon appeared. Racing to
the attic an old hat was retrieved and with the addition
of long sticks, the snowman was done. Often working late
into the night, under the light of a winter's moon,
they added to his joy with a snow wife and maybe a child
or two.
Snow forts and snow tunnels dotted
the land, joining snowmen and their families as bastions
against winter dreariness. Just when we thought they
would melt out of sight, we would wake up one morning,
and find a new snowfall of delight.
Well in spite of early predictions of
a winter without snow, winter finally came through. As I
watched my dogs frolic in the deep drifts of snow, I
heard laughter seep from the past. I strained to hear
more and began to imagine the source, but the cold wind
was biting and my old dog stood shivering as if to
remind me of his plight. Retreating inside, we warmed by
the fire, and with my dog fast asleep, I consigned these
memories to file.

old in Emmitsburg?

Likutei Halachos on Parshas Pinchas
Translated by Dov Grant
Bemidbar 25:11 "Pinchas…turned away my wrath from the children of Israel…"
Bemidbar 25:11 "Pinchas…turned away my wrath from the children of Israel…"
Zimri, prince of Shimon, was guilty of p'gam ha'bris/blemishing the Covenant (sexual transgression) when he took Kozbi, the Midianite woman, in full view of all the Jewish people. Pinchas attained the priesthood by merit of his zealousness for Hashem in that incident. He drew to the world the concept of tikkun ha'bris/rectification of sexual misdemeanor, meriting the priesthood, related to the idea of "holy love that dwells next to the point" that is the covenant of peace – as it states "I give him My covenant of peace".
The entire action of Pinchas against Midianite marriage was a tikkun/rectification to subdue and annul the klippah/evil force of Bilaam, as expressed later (31:16): "These [Midianite women] caused the children of Israel to revolt against Hashem – through the word of Bilaam…" For Bilaam was the very personification of p'gam ha'bris. He was extremely sick, disgusting and abominable in this respect. As Chazal/our Sages tell us (Sanhedrin 106): "He was drawn after this desire his entire life". He didn't even attempt to abandon his heart's desires, as he could have, through Holy Speech.
For Holy Speech is an aspect of "the Three Points" (see Likutei Moharan 34). This is the Holy Speech between a person and his Creator; between a person and his fellow about fear of G-d; between a person and a tzaddik. With Holy Speech, even the most utterly despicable person can exit the very pits of spiritual descent and merit ascending to closeness to Hashem.
The wicked Bilaam and his students have no desire for such Holy Speech. It's bad enough that they're so greatly drawn after sexual desire – but not to attempt Holy Speech in the three aspects? And to add insult to injury – they actually sully their power of speech. They defile their G-d given power of speech with levity, gossip and slander, words of futility and bad language. They are especially guilty of bad mouthing true tzaddikim and honest people, through which they for sure place themselves far from "the Three Points". In consequence, they sink themselves lower and lower into their wicked desires. And it's not enough that they thereby damage themselves. Rather, they also desire to harm all of the Jewish people. Their evil words, that are an aspect of the wicked Bilaam, distance people from positive self-appraisal. Thank G-d, we have true tzaddikim that illuminate the good points of every Jew through their appropriate, encouraging speech.
Orach Chaim Hilchos Nisias Kappayim 5:12
