Swarovski Special - How to Spot a Fake
Now, I want to impart the wisdom that I have learned the hard way to you all! Some of the wisdom below was self-realised, but most of it was learned from lots of research! The information below is also a guide not only for the purchase of flatbacks, but for beads too.
Shape & Cut – Swarovski crystals are generally regarded as the finest machine-cut beads in the world. Because of the unique and patented computer generated technology used, each crystal is cut to precision, resulting in crystals perfectly uniform in height, slope and width. Each facet juncture meets at precisely the same point, and when you line them up, it is possible to spot fakes with the naked eye if the edges and corners do not meet. The facet junctures inside the crystal will also always point upward.
Swarovski also create the only stone to have 14 facets (namely the 2028 Xillion) compared with 8-12 from many other makers.
Another point that I have noticed in the imitation flatbacks that I purchased, is that the flat foiled side of the stone is not perfectly flat, or may have dimples, or may have little protrusions – like they have been "popped out" of a sheet of acrylic.
Swarovski Elements are precision cut for maximum brilliance, each cut designed to capture and reflect the maximum amount of light, inferior imitations are usually noticeable when compared to the real deal!
It's obvious which is the fake right? Simply observe the sharp and precise edges of one bead to tell the difference!
Clarity & Colour – Rhinestones are made of lead crystal, glass or acrylic. Swarovski elements are made from lead crystal. Korean and Czech extra grade stones are made of glass and are not as bright or brilliant, and acrylic stones are widely available and cheap but they will not sparkle like glass and are not comparable at all to lead crystal. Swarovski elements have a depth of colour not matched by even its closest competitors, in some case the difference is small, but it is still noticeable. While normal crystal glass contain only 12-28 % lead oxide to increase light refraction, Swarovski contains approximately 32% lead oxide. This increased lead content refracts light more efficiently, hence adding more luster and sparkle to each crystal bead.
Swarovski quality control ensures that each crystal has a consistency in colour and clarity, so impurities that might find their way into other crystals, like air bubbles, should not be present if you are looking at a genuine Swarovski crystal.
In order to create a crystal that allows light to refract in a rainbow spectrum, Swarovski coats some of its crystals with special metallic chemical coatings. Aurore Boreale, or "AB", is one of the most popular coatings, and gives the surface a rainbow oil slick appearance. The genuine Swarovski AB finish crystals have a smooth and uniform coating. Watch for swirl marks or scratches on the surface of the crystal as these imperfections are a sign that the Swarovski vacuum processing was not used. The surface of an inferior product will also appear oily.
A genuine crystal will stand out from the cheap knock-offs every time, simply by the way it sparkles!
This bead has a very obvious air bubble - proving that it is a fake! Sometimes you will find lots of little air bubbles, this too is not the genuine article!
The AB finish on this bead shows another glaring flaw that would never get past Swarovski QC!
Have a look at cut, colour and finish - gorgeous isn't it!? This is what you want your beads to look like!
This is what you want your flatbacks to look like - sharp, smooth and brilliant! And no - this is not trick photography, they actually look like this!
Weight - Swarovski is made of one of the highest lead contents of any crystal bead made, approximately 32% lead, so they will weigh something, and each size will have a specific weight. Imitations will simply not weigh as much as the real thing! If you don't have a gram scale, that's ok, you should be able to feel the weight difference!
General Clues –
Colour Names - This clue might seem a little odd, but the crystal colour names are specifically chosen by Swarovski and are never generic names like blue, red or green. Look for colour names like Hyacinth, White Opal or Smokey Quartz. If you are unsure of a colour name, you can check Swarovski colour charts to make sure the colour actually exists! Beware of "chili-pepper," "brandy" or "rose gold" as these are not official Swarovski colours.
Foiled Backing – Make sure there is a silver backing on flatbacks. In my experience shiny silver backed crystals are fake, and matte silver backed crystals are genuine, however, I have not found any official information to support this theory, it is just what I have seen in my own collection.
Official Packaging – If you are buying larger quantities of crystals that don't require the seller to break up larger packages, then make sure you receive them in a sealed, official Swarovski package. An easy way to recognise official packaging is by the hologram that appears on the package, but also the quality of the packaging, and the name Swarovski – spelled correctly!
Loose Beads – When buying beads, beware of them being sold on a string. Swarovski crystals are all sold loose and by weight, not quantity.
This is an example of a colour chart - they are a dime a dozen online!
This is a matte silver foiled back - beware if it is shiny!
Just one example of official packaging. Take note of the hologram!
A second example!
Buying – Most online sellers will display approved seller badges on their website, however beware of people illegally displaying Swarovski logos. If you are buying on eBay check the following before buying:
1. Check the actual feedback given as well as the feedback percentage.
2. Check out the Sellers Returns Policy to ensure that if you do make a duff choice, you can return it.
3. Check the wording of the listing to ensure that it says "Genuine" Swarovski crystal – although this is not a solid guarantee.
4. If a supplier on eBay is offering a Swarovski Gift Box and Certificate with the jewellery or gems - beware! Unless it is a one off gift they no longer want.
Finally, check the seller's receipt. If the beads you have purchased are fake, the seller is not likely to specify what the item is that you purchased!
Just a little sample of the official Swarovski logo!
Whew! So there you have it ladies! All of the info that I could offer, so that you all could be more aware of those dodgy imitations! I hope my guide helps you make more informed decisions when it comes to buying, so that you don't end up ripped off like I did! I have plenty of genuine crystals that I am happy to swap or sell, so please contact me if you are interested in a reliable source - or I'd be happy to point you in the right direction for larger quantities! Have fun shopping for what all of us girls simply can't resist... cause diamonds are a girls best friend!

Swarovski use the optical glass BK7 of Schott Germany. The genuine materials of Swarovski are NOT Crystals. It is old and non-eco glass. BK7 glass is out of production, because the lead technology for moulding is dirty. The new Schott glass is N-BK7 (leadless). So, Swarovski looks great, but material is not something special. It is only cheap optical glass, it is not space technology. They just have good marketing.ReplyDelete

Thank you for this article. I was researching this topic because I started a project with Swarovski 2058 flatbacks (the one that is replacing 2028) in the Light Colorado Topaz color. I bought them at a local bead store in Los Angeles. Then I went to Bohemian Crystal in downtown L.A., where you can supposedly get these stones much cheaper, and I was shocked to see that the Light Colorado Topaz they were selling was a much darker color. I honestly don't know if one or the other was fake, but I had to go back to my original, more expensive source because I had already started my project and needed them to match. But now I will be much more vigilant!ReplyDelete

I was sorting some of my swarvoski beads under the florescent light, pulled out all those I thought were blue shades. Then I moved to the other room and was using a regular incandescent type light bulb, there were some purple beads mixed in that could not been seen under florescent light. Gave me a great idea for a project. Beware on ebay. many fake beads. Swarvoski actually regulates the amount of beads sold, they stop producing one type before making another. The weight of the bead is the best way to tell. Worth buying a gram scale.ReplyDelete

The backing of the crystals is not always an indicator of their authenticity. While *most* Swarovski have a silver matte back, they do have colours (Iridis, for example) that come with a shiny silver backing. :-)ReplyDelete

Can the Ultimate GPS be used for High Altitude? How can I know?
Modules shipped in 2013+ (and many in the later half of 2012) have firmware that has been tested by simulation at the GPS factory at 40km.
You can tell what firmware you have by sending the firmware query command $PMTK605*31 (you can use the echo demo to send custom sentences to your GPS)
If your module replies with AXN_2.10_3339_2012072601 5223 that means you have version #5223 which is the 40Km-supported firmware version. If the number is higher then 5223 then its even more recent, and should include the 40Km support as well
HOWEVER these modules are not specifically designed for high-altitude balloon use. People have used them successfully but since we (at Adafruit) have not personally tested them for hi-alt use, we do not in any way guarantee they are suitable for high altitude use.
Please do not ask us to 'prove' that they are good for high altitude use, we do not have any way to do so
If you want to measure high altitude with a GPS, please find a module that can promise/guarantee high altitude functionality
OK I want the latest firmware!
Here is the binary of the 5632 firmware, you can use this tool to upload it using an FTDI or USB-TTL cable (or direct wiring with FTDI). We do not have a tutorial for updating the firmware, if you update the firmware and somehow brick the GPS, we do not offer replacements! Keep this in mind before performing the update process!
I've adapted the example code and my GPS NMEA sentences are all garbled and incomplete!
If you are using Leonardo (or Micro/Flora/ATmega32u4) or Mega, consider using a HardwareSerial port instead of SoftwareSerial!
How come I can't get the GPS to output at 10Hz?
Experimentation may be necessary to get the optimal results. We suggest RMC only for 10Hz since we've tested it.
How come I can't set the RTC with the Adafruit RTC library?
The timezone cannot be changed, so you'll have to calculate local time based on UTC!

Since I've moved to the UK and now live in a tiny flat, I read everything I can get my hands on about small space solutions.
Granted, my husband and I got rid of most of our earthly possessions before we each moved from our home countries to England, but we've had to start collecting again and keeping things neat and organised has been a challenge.
The best thing we bought so far was this white Ikea Malm dresser, which has stored our pots, pans, extra blankets and spices. A dresser in the kitchen area sounds weird, but it works well.
We have a number of storage bins in our wardrobe to store everything from pharmaceuticals to flip flops. We also cram things into spaces, like the cutting board above our small fridge, pans in the oven and pens, notepads in some of the wine storage shelves (I'm not storing wine next to a heating object, I don't like mulled wine that much). There is, thankfully, more wine rack shelves next to top cabinets.
We've also found some quirky ways to store kitchen items, such as cooking utensils inside our four cupboard doors.
We also keep our drying racks under and behind our little couch because unfortunately, it's pretty common in London not to have a dryer. However, you don't see it and that makes me happy.
We also have four really deep shelves. While most of my books are in storage in Canada, I use the front of the shelves to display books, art and travel items, and the back to store (and hide) random things, such as file folders boxes (which store warranties, receipts, bills, keeper cards), the iron, tools, etc. The turquoise and bamboo bowl holds our keys. The bottom of the shelves has our washer, and I store our extra towels and dish clothes there.It works, though I need to find something taller to hide those file folder boxes, or perhaps make them look nicer. I am really working on everything having a place, and that place not obvious and out in the open.
So because I spend so much time looking at these solutions, and trying to come up with some, (I still have not found a solution for the one wardrobe that must store our suitcases on top) I thought I'd share some of my favourite suggestions from some great blogs around the web.
We haven't adapted many of the ideas I like because we're avoiding putting any more holes in the walls – the plaster seems to disintegrate with each nail, and we're not sure how long we're staying, but I definitely keep them in mind for the future.
I love the idea of wall-mounted items to save visual space. Instead of having a side table on either side of the bed, why not mount a shelve to store your book, your lamp (or hang the lamp!), your alarm clock and your glass of water?
Have an Ikea nearby? We never had one in my home city of Halifax, but we have a few in London, which has been wonderful. Google "Ikea hacks" and you'll find tons of stylish makeovers of Ikea items, like the former kitchen cabinet below. Not only stylish, but practical storage solutions.
Or use the space above your head – on top of cupboards, above doors, closets – when you live small, you need to be inventive.
I like the idea of making furniture work for you. Whether it's double purpose furniture like a coffee table with drawers, seating that has storage or even fold away furniture that doesn't have to take up space when you're not using it.
And if I ever owned a small space, I LOVE this idea of suspending the bed.
I've linked all of these sites in the captions, but my tried and true website, my happy place, is Apartment Therapy.
What are your favourite small space solutions in your home? Please share in the comments.

I found out from one of my trusted sellers in Multiply that she's offering a personal shopping service from Japanese stores. Now that I'm leaning heavily towards the gyaru style, I'm going nuts because this is the chance to own something, ANYTHING by Cecil McBee, Gilfy, Swordfish, Ego System, Liz Lisa... OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
Unfortunately, I still owe some other sellers money. And I just finished investing quite a heavy sum in retail treasury bonds, so I have absolutely skint. DX
Not to mention that I feel incredibly guilty since there are so many people out there currently living worse off than I am due to Typhoons Ketsana and Parma, which attacked our part of the country in the last 2 weeks.
I just want to go for it SO badly though...! T.T
God, please, I would like a windfall right about now. Please? I've been really, REALLY good! T_____________________T

Driving Blind Series
Contributed by Peter Loughman on Aug 15, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: Waiting with God isn't wasting time. Waiting with God it isn't time taken away. Waiting with God is never a waste of time.
Note to reader: I have hot-links to various subjects in this sermon. The document with the active links can be found in PDF form at this web address: http://www.firstpresanchorage.org/Sermons.htm (The sermon is titled the same "Driving Blind"). May our Lord Jesus empower you as you write your sermon for your congregation. -Peter
When you go in for a test at the doctor's office you hope for an answer on the first visit. But, then it turns out you will have to wait for a few days (or more) to get the answer.
Perhaps you remember a time when you just finished an exam that will determine the next step in your life, and for what seems like en eternity, you had to put your life on hold while you waited for the results.
All kinds of things can cause our lives to pause.
Maybe right now it feels like God has put your life on hold. You need something to happen in your life, it would REALLY help if something would happen in your life, but nothing seems to happen.
You pray, you reflect, you council with other believers - you may even submit your prayer to the prayer chain, but still, you hear nothing.
Your life is in the dark.
You have to wait. You don't want to wait, but here you are, waiting.
So during this time of waiting, life goes on around you, but, there you sit. Waiting.
Here in our text today, we tend to notice the flash that surprises the everyone, we tend to notice the voice that confronts Saul and we tend to notice Saul falling to the ground - but we pass over the most important part - the time when Saul is literally, sitting in the dark.
Do you see that there in verse 9? For three days Saul was blind, he didn't eat or drink. Think about this: Saul sits there in the dark, not knowing how long he will sit there, not knowing what will happen next, not knowing when he will ever see again. Wasn't Jesus dramatic enough to get Saul attention with the flash, a surprising voice? Why have Saul wait for three days in the dark?
God knows what we fail to realize: Waiting with God isn't wasting time.
How did Saul get to the place where God has him wait in the dark?
We saw back in chapter 7, a believer in Jesus Christ named Stephen claim that Jesus was greater than the Temple. Stephen argues that God historically met with people before the Temple was built so we don't need the Temple to communicate with God. Stephen argues further that since Jesus is the one and only atoning sacrifice for all time - Jesus is all we need...and the Temple in Jerusalem is redundant, it is not needed.
For this, Stephen was killed by the highest religious court in the land - and there at the execution was Saul, giving his consent. Remember, those who threw the stones placed their cloaks at his feet - they took off their cloaks so they could easily heave the heavy stones at Stephen.
Saul is the first real enemy of the Church of Jesus Christ, and here in verse 1, Saul asks for, and receives papers of authorization to hunt down Christians. Now, can Saul pick up just any Christian? No, Saul cannot arrest just any Christian. Saul is only after the Greek speaking believers. Perhaps the high priest thought that if the Hellenists where brought under control, the situation would settle down.
We saw that Stephen, was a Hellenistic Jew, which is a person of Jewish ethnicity who spoke Greek as their first language, as opposed to Jews who spoke Aramaic as their first language. Remember, examples of Aramaic speaking Jews would be the Apostles and Jesus Christ. These Aramaic speaking Jews tended to be locals in Palestine, while Greek speaking Jews tended to be outsiders to Palestine. Stephen was a leader in the Church yes, but Stephen was specifically a leader in the part of the church that spoke Greek. It is these Greek speaking Jewish believers who are being targeted by the high priest. They are the one who are seen as creating all this trouble about Jesus and the Temple since this idea about Jesus being greater than the Temple originated in the Greek speaking community.
Back chapter 8 it was the Greek speaking Jewish believers who fled Jerusalem after the death of Stephen, not the Aramaic speaking Jewish believers - we saw the Apostles, who were Aramaic speaking, were left alone. Saul is on his way to Damascus to arrest Greek speaking Jewish believers who have fled Palestine.
How can Saul do this? Aren't the Romans in control of the territory? Well, yes the Romans are in control of punishing civil and criminal crimes, but the high priest had special extradition rights to bring back Jews for over one hundred years at this point in history.

Do you find it hard to sleep til' night,

There's more to this than you had ever thought?
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

Effect of Working Pressure on Corrosion Behavior of Nitrogen Doped Diamond-Like Carbon Thin Films Deposited by DC Magnetron Sputtering
Nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon thin films were deposited on highly conductive p-silicon(100) substrates using a DC magnetron sputtering deposition system by varying working pressure in the deposition chamber. The bonding structure, adhesion strength, surface roughness and corrosion behavior of the films were investigated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, micro-scratch test, atomic force microscopy and potentiodynamic polarization test. A 0.6 M NaCl electrolytic solution was used for the corrosion tests. The optimum corrosion resistance of the films was found at a working pressure of 7 mTorr at which a good balance between the kinetics of the sputtered ions and the surface mobility of the adatoms promoted a microstructure of the films with fewer porosities.

It's too many ... and it's no way ... fuel oil should be higher than gasoline, and gas shouldn't be as high as it is."— Hagerstown
"As a Tea Party participant, I ask Tim Rowland how he got so knowledgeable about us. I've never seen him at an event. What a poor service The Herald-Mail provides, to feature his misconceptions and distortions to its readers."
— Boonsboro
"This woman or whoever the person was from Waynesboro who said that Sen. Hoyer wanted to freeze the military pay, she better read that the other way, because President Obama said freeze the federal pay, with the exception of the military. She better read it right."
— Hagerstown
"Where are you ... who complain about the development of the old Standard Quarry, when the U.S. Customs is building everything and you have not said one word. Does the Customs have building permits? Uh huh, they pay no taxes and there're no jobs for the county people who are unemployed."
— Jefferson County, W.Va.
"There needs to be another traffic light by the shopping center by Walmart, especially near the Best Buy shopping center. Over the weekend I went to cross from there, from the Best Buy shopping center to go over to Walmart, and the cars come flying there like bats out of Hades. You need to have another traffic light there or something, because people need to safely walk, and of course, other drivers, too, to drive, because it's getting really dangerous there."
— Hagerstown
"I haven't heard anyone complain about the Obama hypocrisy. A year ago ... President Obama said that this country was in the condition it was in because of the Bush tax cuts, which he cut for everybody. ... Well, now today, he's promising everybody a tax cut, and he thinks that's the greatest thing on earth, and that's his oath for the new year. I haven't heard anybody say anything yet. I haven't heard anybody blame George Bush for the gas being $3 a gallon. I haven't heard them mention Mr. Obama either."
— Waynesboro, Pa.
"Yeah, you learn in life you can't really trust anyone, not even your own relatives, for that matter. Anyway, concerning people out there complaining about bicycle lanes and the bicycle riders, I would like to say once again that being a bicycle rider, that I don't recall calling on any of you people out there to take me anywhere in your automobile. ... Therefore, I feel you people just need to mind your business and drive your automobile."
— Greencastle, Pa.
"When are the police going to start enforcing the rules of the road? The other day on the interstate I passed a woman who was texting while she drove. I was so mad I threw my beer bottle at her."
— Hagerstown
"About Sunday's front page, Rowland's convoluted attempt at sarcasm and humor is not appreciated. The paper wasted two full pages with his ranting. Just what was the point of it? More liberal journalism."
— Hagerstown
"No one knows when Jesus was born. I think it's nice to take a certain time (Dec. 25) to call it His birthday. It hasn't hurt anything. As for those tired of hearing about Jesus and Christmas, I would prefer Jesus to the filth poisoning the minds of our youth with TV and music about sex and violence, or Harry Potter's witchcraft. Jesus' teachings were about love, charity, forgiveness. Believe in Him or not, the teachings are what this miserable world needs."
— Hagerstown
"To the person from Blue Ridge Summit who said Democrats are not true Americans: I am wondering what his definition of a true American is and where did he get the definition — Fox News is my bet. Indians probably come the closest to being a true American but all us strange people are Americans."
— Waynesboro, Pa.
"I just read a business news article saying that we have such a large supply of natural gas in this country that it will be exported in the future. What's wrong with this picture? Oil prices are climbing, we are investing huge amounts of tax money in wind and solar energy and we are going to export natural gas. Go figure, the people lose."
— Greencastle, Pa.
"This is for the Greencastle caller again. Honestly, no one is jealous of you or your bicycle. Honestly. We have so many more important things to worry about in our lives — you know, like taking care of our children, going to work and just trying to make the best of our lives every day. Maybe, Greencastle caller, instead of thinking only of yourself and always writing so negatively we could start out 2011 much more positive. Happy new year."
— Greencastle, Pa.
"I've been wondering if the county commissioners would consider eliminating the position of the Washington County sheriff, and save the taxpayers some money, since the sheriff seems to want to be a patrol deputy instead of the sheriff. You see this happening quite often lately, so maybe the position of sheriff is actually not needed after all."
— Hancock
"I hope everyone read in Jan. 2 Herald-Mail about the Iraqi government wanting our troops out of their country. We did not bring democracy to that country, and Christians are fleeing the country and are worse off than ever before. Iraq was a big mistake."
— Hagerstown
"I'm just reading about the stink bug article in today's Jan. 3 Monday paper. What do stink bugs eat? We know they started eating, making damages, holes in peaches, last season. We thought we saw some damages in the vegetables. Watch out for this coming growing season. Do whatever you can to stop them. In the house, keep them swimming — they can't swim. They drown. Stick them in the water."
— Cearfoss area
"I'd like to say a special thank you to my friends and neighbors who supported me in this year's Polar Bear Plunge benefiting the Washington County Humane Society. Your donations were greatly appreciated."
— Leitersburg
"Redskins done it. They beat Dallas in first place."
— Downsville
"I had to laugh this morning when I read the comment from the caller from Blue Ridge Summit, who said about — who wondered if any Democrats were real Americans. It is truly funny how so many people today feel they get to judge who is a real American, when it's our difference of opinion that makes us strong."

Chicago is a gorgeous city, so there's no shortage of unique areas and storied landmarks that serve as perfect backdrops for wedding photos—the Chicago Theatre marquee, the street outside the Board of Trade, the greenery and skyline views in Olive Park, and so much more. But, sometimes it's not feasible to hit up all those places on your wedding day, particularly if you're working on a tight timeline. That doesn't mean you won't be able to get amazing photos though. Some wedding venues—like the following six—have photogenic elements that are just as stunning as iconic Chicago scenery.
Salvage One's 60,000-square-foot warehouse space is brimming with vintage furniture and areas that make for unique photo backdrops. But perhaps its biggest photo-op draw is this industrial-chic "Chicago" marquee sign outside. 1840 W. Hubbard St., 312-733-0098
The Adler Planetarium offers a wedding space, the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Solarium, that aptly allows you to celebrate your nuptials under the stars. And, even if you can't see any actual constellations (this is a big city, after all), the slanted glass ceiling and glass walls will serve as an absolutely gorgeous backdrop regardless. 1300 S. Lake Shore Dr., 312-542-2428
In most places, an elevator is just an elevator. But at Bridgeport Art Center, a beautiful, urban-chic venue, it's a focal point. Seriously: The Skyline Loft space includes a massive elevator that can hold up to 8,000 pounds and everything from a beautiful couch to a bar to your entire wedding party. The photo opportunities are endless. 1200 W. 35th St., 773-843-9000
Navy Pier's Crystal Gardens offers the unique opportunity to have a tropical wedding in the middle of Chicago. The indoor botanical garden has more than 80 live palm trees (among other beautiful foliage) housed in a six-story glass atrium—all of which present some very cool photo opportunities. 700 E. Grand Ave., 312-595-5436
If you and your spouse consider yourselves to be major book buffs, there's probably no better place to get married than The Library at 190 South LaSalle. The two-story-high walls in this elegant space are lined with more than 50,000 volumes of law books. It doesn't matter if law isn't your thing—in your pictures, you'll get the stunning effect of being surrounded by beautiful, leather-bound tomes. 190 S. LaSalle St. 40th Fl., 312-981-6014
The refectory building on the northern end of Columbus Park is gorgeous inside and out, but the turquoise accents on the doorways and windows, the massive, green potted plants, and the open-air brick space complete with majestic archways and greenery in the background particularly make for killer photo ops. 500 S. Central Ave., 773-287-7641

Tiffany Alvord: My Tribute
Tiffany Alvord: Inspiration
Over the course of the past few weeks, I have been paying music tributes to Cover Artists on YouTube. Cover Artists excel in taking well known songs by popular singers and then translating them into their own style. I enjoy listening to these Music Covers because I like hearing my favorite songs sung by new voices. It is refreshing to hear songs that are overplayed, sung by different voices and styles. I have already dedicated music tributes to Sam Tsui, Boyce Avenue, Tyler Ward, Maddi Jane, Julia Sheer and Mike Tomkins.
I have attempted to spice things up in this music series by introducing Maddi Jane, a 13 year old Cover Artist who will hopefully make it big some day. I also introduced Mike Tomkins, who is a very unique singer. He produces his videos by playing several different instruments with only his mouth! He is incredible and talented and one of my favorite Cover Artists.
I have started this series in the hopes of giving these artists some well deserved publicity. These stars are on the rise and are popular on YouTube. But, they deserve to be well known globally, and I hope to see this happen at some point!
It is now time to introduce the next Cover Artist in my music tribute series! Everyone, put your hands together for the YouTube sensation, Tiffany Alvord!
Tiffany Alvord: Music Sample Video
Before I delve into the background and interesting facts of Tiffany Alvord, let's listen to one of her songs! Below, I am sharing a sample of Tiffany Alvord's music. This is her Music Cover of "Titanium" by David Guetta! I love this song because it portrays the range she is able to reach. I hope you enjoy this song!
Tiffany Alvord: "Titanium" by David Guetta
Tiffany Alvord: Background
Tiffany Alvord was born in the state of California on December 11, 1992. She was raised in California and still lives with her family(five brothers) there. Tiffany was a gymnast for nine years in her earlier childhood; this was her passion before music. She started playing piano in elementary school and taught herself to play the guitar. At the age of ten, she began writing her own songs. Tiffany Alvord was home schooled from 8th til 12th grade, and graduated in 2010. She started her YouTube career on April 14, 2008. And the rest in history!

Absolutely stunning! Her voice is so raspy, and yet has the spirit of an angel. Great tribute, Josh! Wow, I fell in love with her voice already!
OK, I hear a bit of Adelle in this pure and delightful voice.
Josh, you are exposing me to such talent. Now I am recognizing Alejandro and Boyce Avenue, thanks to your wonderful series.
Voted UP and UABI. Will definitely look to see Tiffany going to the top!
What a voice and amazing at such a young age. Interesting to meet all these cover artists and love the informative hub and layout.
Another great intro to a singer and a great tribute. Tiffany has it all intelligence, talent and popularity. Passing this on.
Another special talent! They get talented at an early age these days, huh? Hard to believe she's just 13! Looking forward to then next one on your list...I love them!
"People will say we're in love...". You're not married, are you...
You have an ability of finding the diamonds in the rough. I enjoyed seeing her, and listing to the selections you picked. I will keep my eyes on this one. Another great hub Josh!
For such a young girl, she is quite talented, beautiful and has a great future. I must say that her voice is so mature for the age. Enjoyed the review.
Hi josh, she has got a fabulous voice, isn't it amazing how many youtube kids are so good at singing? I have been promoting a girl on youtube for about a year now, her name is Jenna Sousa, and I found her last year, me and her mom are always emailing each other, and she lets me know when she's going to be doing something new, a few weeks ago Jenna sung at a concert with justin beibers friend, forgot his name! looks like she is on the verge of signing, great job, and I hope Tiffany becomes a star, with a voice like that she should go a long way, nell
Very nice tribute. She definitely seems like one to watch out for. She's got a certain sweetness and confidence to her voice that's really nice. You continue to find great talents to profile.
Such a beautiful girl, she has talent galore. I predict she will be a BIG star..Thank's..Great article, well researched..
Great tribute to very talented young lady who really had a lot of hits on YouTube 200,012,761 views!
I like this tribute to Tiffany she has a beautiful voice I must agree Josh, her life of home schooling and self musical training was exceptional indeed.
I also like the idea you have of promoting artist who can make a difference in the music industry and in the world as a whole if their voice gets heard much more, and by many others.
Lets hope that she makes it, and you know by a few of my hubs I've written as well about hip-hop artists who I feel need to go worldwide as well, that I am all for this form of promotions.
Great write up & tribute to her bro, and I'm going to try to catch up to you when it comes to hub visits, its tough when I'm always writing all the time, but every once in a while a break is needed, and so here I am.
Cheers to powerful writing Josh, you are one of the best here in my book, nice one!
Tiffany Alvord, a beautiful Christmas baby. Heard her for the first time thanks to you. Reminds me of a young Christina Aguilera. I know she will be out there. Her stunning looks and her vlice will take her far. Another winner from our Josh!
Wow! She and Alejandro harmonize beautifully together! Great series, Josh. Your enjoyment of putting this together comes forth in each post! Keep it up!
Beautiful voice, song and a beautiful girl. I love the song. She reminds me of a cross between Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood and I have all their CD's. Josh..you found a really great niche with these reviews! Good going. voted up and beautiful
What a beauty that girl is; if she sings as well as she looks she is a star in the making. Great hub nephew; I'll check her out.
I haven't heard of this artist before but I will be checking her out. This is a very resourcesful hub and a great introduction. I am always looking for new music.
Chock full of great pictures Josh. And what a pretty young lady! I love all the facts you have gleaned about her. I hope these cover artists appreciate all the extra PR you are getting them. Most of us probably never would have heard of these cover artists if you didn't point them out to us. Good work! Voted up and interesting.
i get to listen to the samples makes me enjoy your tribute a little bit more.. thanks Josh.. actually for the education..
A talented lady and a wonderful tribute, Josh. Thanks for making the lesser known, better known. I've linked this to my hub as well. Sharing.
Josh, another beautiful tribute to yet another amazing cover artist. She totally does justice to one of my favorites, with covering Katy Perry's Wide Awake. I truly do love this series, because you are bringing some otherwise not so well known (except on youtube of course) musicians who do need to be heard and seen. Have also voted and shared too!!
A lovely tribute, she does have a beautiful voice, I don't usually go for cover versions, when I fall in love with a song it usually have a lot to do with the original voice. Very rarely do the cover equal or better the original, but yes it does happen. Voting up.

Palm Trees and South LA Culture
By Stefani Camille
October 24, 2014
You can't come to Los Angeles and not notice the Palm Trees towering over the metropolis in Southern California. These trees line the streets and freeways. You can't listen to a rapper from LA like ScHoolBoy Q and not hear him rap about "Gang signs and palm trees, bomb weed and becks". Where did the palm trees come from?
Los Angeles did not start out with the sky duster palms. These various types of palms are exotic and were brought here from areas like Australia, and or the Andes to improve the landscape.
One particular Palm called the Mexican Fan made it on the big screen which lured people to want to come and visit the Southland and witness these tall fans that grow as tall as 150 feet.
The first viewing on screen was in Bing Cosby movies. The entertainment industry made the LA Fan Palms glamorous with it association with sex and celebrity.

One day, dairy is heralded as a wonder food, and the next you're told to avoid it with the stealth of a ninja warrior.
Sorting through competing messages about food do's and don'ts can seem like a full-time job, but it doesn't have to be.
A new, free workshop by Student Health Service's Health Promotion team is designed to help students learn the basics of nutrition while providing tips and tricks for making sure a busy college lifestyle doesn't interfere with healthy eating.
"One of the best ways to care for your body is to eat right, but with all the myths and lies about food and diets these days, it's hard to know what really is healthy," said Shantille Thompson, graduate student assistant in the Health Promotion Department. "That's why it's so important for students to learn the fundamentals."
Students are not required to register for the 1-hour nutrition workshop, which is presented Thursdays at 2 pm in Calpulli Health Center, room 3225.

Awesome PC game soundtracks
Here are some games that I think benefited a lot from their soundtracks which greatly enhanced the gameplay. They are listed in no particular order.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
An amazing soundtrack that included both atmospheric ambient music a really damn good theme song and had great location specific music. It had that dark futuristic sound that complimented the gameplay and the story perfectly.
Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines This was my favorite soundtrack for a long time. Just like with Deus Ex: Human Revolution it combines great ambient sound with location specific songs. Exploring Santa Monica or LA during nighttime to the music this game provided was really immersive. All the clubs and important locations also had their own set of songs which enhanced the feeling of a dark/goth/vampire setting. It also included this hilarious GTA inspired female radio DJ called "Deb of night" which was always on (several radio episodes throughout the game) and took calls from random crazy listeners that were either morons or funnily enough told about events related to your game progress. The radio shows also included fake commercials which are laugh out loud funny. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness I really loved the Orc soundtrack for this game. Somehow it captured the mood of this game perfectly and added gravitas to the simple setup of building your base, collecting resources and sending your troops out to kill the enemy. Starcraft + Brood War expansion This RTS game had not only an epic story spanning over 3 campaigns but also included som really damn good music. Both in-game soundtrack and the music used for the CGI cut scenes were truly great. Command & Conquer: Red Alert Probably the most iconic track from the original C&C:Red Alert which has since then been included in all sequels in one shape or another. Diablo 2 The creepy and atmospheric music from Diablo 1 was enhanced and expanded in the sequel and the soundtrack is one of the best out there to date. Setting out from the starting camp of the game and into the rainy fields slaughtering demons never felt so important as when accompanied by this soundtrack. GTA: Vice City GTA 3 really introduced something great into the GTA series, radio stations. Now you could browse various channels in the game and listen in to music styles that you liked mixed with hilarious and silly fake commercials. This has worked really good in all the GTA games following GTA3 but perhaps the best example of how a good soundtrack can enhance the setting and add immersion is GTA: Vice City. This 80's themed game was packed with great music of the time and made cruising the streets of Vice City between missions a real joy. Fallout (F1/F2/Tactics/F3/NV) I grew up with Fallou 1 & 2, and while I think Fallout 3 was dissapointing the series bounced back up with New Vegas. Still, all games (including Fallout Tactics) had truly great soundtracks that added a lot to the post apocalyptic travels you had to undertake across the wastelands of the US. The older games relied a lot more on creepy atmospheric soundtracks that truly made you feel like walking in a post apocalyptic wasteland full of death and decay. The most recent games (F3 / N.V.) included a lot more pompous orchestral music. Both add a lot of value to the gameplay and truly enhance the experience. The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) I got into the Elder Scrolls series back when TES III: Morrowind was released, to explore the weird landscapes and locations of the island of Morrowind accompanied by a the atmospheric and very fantasy sounding soundtrack made one of the best gaming experiences I've had. The intro song pulls you right into this RPG experience with its slow pacing which then turns into this epic sound towards the end. The Oblivion and Skyrim soundtracks are equally good and have a wide variety of ambient tracks for exploration mixed with fast paced tracks when battles are raging. The latter two are a bit more "epic" sounding while Morrowind was a more low key soundtrack which fit perfectly with the somber rainy and partially ash covered island you were exploring. Myth 2: Soulblighter A direct sequel to Myth: The Fallen lords, it continued the story of this dystopic fantasy world telling about the underdog war of humanity against the undead and the vicious Myrkridia race. Myth 1 had a great story and gameplay, but Myth 2 had the far superior soundtrack which was used together with a great storyteller in the cutscenes explaining the events of the campaign and the dire situation of the human kingdoms. Icewind Dale Being a more linear hack & slash oriented RPG experience compared to the more sophisticated and multilayered Baldurs Gate game, the first Icewind Dale had the edge of some truly great music. Bioshock Did not care much for this game, mainly because I felt that the cartoony combat ruined an otherwise visually spectacular adventure and interesting plot. However the soundtrack was flawless and sounded like some kind of matine movie. The Witcher (1&2) The Polish RPG game the Witcher appeared out of thin air and turned out to be one of the best fantasy RPG games in recent years. Both the original game and the sequel both awesome soundtracks which added an additional layer to the gaming experience when playing in this eastern European medieval inspired world of the Witcher.

Wow, great post, some classics in there, Red alert (Hell March) is just awesome.ReplyDelete
Can't believe you missed out Mass Effect or Halo from the list though. Try Mass Effect 2 (http://youtu.be/VTsD2FjmLsw) or Halo 3 (http://youtu.be/q_pAa9252Uo) Hope those links work.
I never played any of the Mass Effect games, for some reason they never appealed to me (just like I never played any of the Knights of the Old Republic games).ReplyDelete
I played Halo 1 (and Halo 2) on my Xbox. The Halo music was quite good, the rest of the game was a bit too silly for me (cute bright colored aliens). If they had made Halo a bit more dark and bleak I would probably have liked it a lot more. It had fun multiplayer mode though.
To be honest I don't care much for the ME2 theme, it was just so unlike the first one (which is great) and just helped remind you that the game was now dumbed down to 'rpg light'.ReplyDelete
Personally think that the Dragon Age: Origins theme is pretty epic. Not to mention Sins of a Solar empire.
And of the songs listed here, the superior one is from the first Witcher game. That games music is just soaked in mud, melancholy and mystery.
Wow, i've played most of these games and found myself standing around, just listening to the beautiful music more than once.ReplyDelete
Great post, brings back a lot of memorys.
Yea, there is some great stuff there. Also, Jagged Alliance had some good "military" feel music for their games. I loved Warcraft that had the "rap" song that was funny.ReplyDelete
I agree with Vice City because I grew up in that era and still regularly dine on 80s movies, TV and video games. Here are a few of my favoritesReplyDelete
Full Throttle
Silent Hill Franchise
Great post!!ReplyDelete

Flyers blow another lead, miss out on key points against Capitals
The Flyers remain on the outside looking in as the playoff race continues to heat up.
The Flyers have been in nearly every game they've played lately. Regardless of whether it's the lowly Blue Jackets or the top team in the NHL, the Capitals.
That's due in large part to their newly found ability to score first.
But very few leads have proven to be safe for Philadelphia, as another early advantage was erased as the Capitals edged out the Flyers, 3-2, Sunday afternoon in DC.
Michael Del Zotto got Philly on the board early (assisted by Shayne Gostisbehere whose rookie scoring streak continues) and staked a 1-0 advantage the Flyers looked poised to upset the Caps for a second straight time.
But in the second period,two goals in just 69 seconds gave the Caps a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes.
An equalizer from Nick Schultz was made all-for-naught when Matt Niskanenscored for Washington in the third as well, leaving the Flyers 14 minutes to close the gap once again. They had no answer.
Steve Mason, getting a lot of recent work with Michal Neuvirth out with an injury stopped 27 big Washington shots but against an equally active Braden Holtby, the Flyers were only able to find the net on two of their 36 shots.
The Flyers were 0-for-5 in the power play and defensemen scored the only two Flyer goals -- a completely different look from the past few gameswhich saw special teamsand top line forwards make big contributions.
The setback ends a nice stretch for the Flyers who have acquired points in their last 14 games, including an overtime loss to the Rangers (yet another blown lead) with a point.

The last couple weeks have been a confusing time for me. I have found myself in somewhat unfamiliar territory emotionally and physically. About three weeks ago I made a casual observation that my mind had become somewhat muddied. My cognitive processes seemed much slower and my memory had gone to pot. I was having a great deal of trouble recalling names from the previous chapters of my life, and I couldn't seem to remember to do anything. Theses memory problems were most troublesome because I work as a salesman and forgetfulness is bad for business, but as time passed they worried me a little more.
Along with the mental cloudiness my temper was getting much shorter and as time passed my wife and I barely spoke without ending up making some sort of short, frustrated, and angry comment toward each other. About a week ago I began to notice I was doing things that made no sense, like forgetting steps of repetitive tasks I have completed thousands of times, and was becoming distrustful of myself which in turn was causing a marked increase in my anxiety levels. I had just come to the realization that I was beginning to slide downhill quickly when this weekend the tension with my wife exploded into a real open argument. She basically asked me what the hell was going on that I was repeatedly doing things that made no sense, or failing to do things that were obvious. It seems the greatest source of frustration on her part was that I had turned into a complete idiot.
The only other time I recall having these types of memory problems was right after my son was born. The sleep deprivation affected my memory, and I had a lot of problems with work until I figured out a system to deal with it. In time a slept again and the problem passed. I was never unduly angry in those days and I don't remember feeling like I was in mental molasses I just forgot everything that happened in the course of a day. This time around my mind doesn't feel quite right most of the day. I can't focus and I forget things I am supposed to do moments after I am told I need to do it. I have always been a little absent minded, but of late it is becoming a safety hazard. You certainly don't want me to be operating any heavy machinery, but my job requires me to drive the roads every day.
Over the past few days I have browsed through the ever dangerous WebMD reviewing the symptoms of depression, Chronic fatigue Syndrome, and whatever else sounds good. This can be counterproductive exercise and as my wife correctly points out, if I try hard enough I can make myself fit any of the criteria. It reminds me of taking Psych 101 in college. When we got to the chapters on actual psychological disorders the professor warned us that we would all think we had undiagnosed mental problems before it was over. It seems everybody has a few of those symptoms at some point along the way it becomes more a matter of severity. I have written before that WebMD is a hypochondriac's best friend.
I had my last medication management appointment two weeks ago which was just before I started to become aware of the depth of my forgetfulness. I did talk to him about still having some problems sleeping and being slightly more anxious than I would like to be. The sleep problems are better than when they first started in July, but it can still take me 45 – 90 minutes to fall asleep. The average is about an hour. I have also begun to have a little trouble staying asleep waking up two or three times each night. I would say on average I have had 5 – 6 hours of sleep a night for the last four months. Some nights have been less some nights more. I have always needed about eight hours of sleep to remain functional and it appears that the prolonged lack of adequate sleep has begun to take its toll. The slow creep of the fatigue seems to have snuck up on me a bit so I didn't feel it coming.
The question I ask myself now is why am I not sleeping properly? Back in the summer it was clearly anxiety driven, but that explanation doesn't really make a lot of sense now unless I have become so numb that I hardly feel it anymore. Am I depressed? I don't feel sad, but I also don't seem to give two shits about a lot of things that I really enjoy. I have chalked it up to lack of energy, but that takes you back down the path toward depression. When you add it all up, anger, insomnia, loss of interest, and then put it the context of my history it sure sounds like it could be, but I don't feel a great deal of sadness. If this is depression it has been disturbingly insidious in its arrival.
When I was talking to the doc a couple weeks back I asked him about SSRI medications. Most folks who will read this are aware of my distaste for these medications. I find the sexual side effects intolerable. I have only ever taken Celexa and Lexapro as they are supposed to cause the least incidents of these side effects. I asked the doc if there was any chance that one of the other medications would not lead to the sexual dysfunction. I was surprised at his answer. He indicated that the wider allowable dosing schedule for Zoloft would allow him to start with much lower effective doses and it was possible that we could use the medication to augment the Wellbutrin without getting to doses high enough to trigger side effects. Of course the only way to know would be to try and there are no guarantees, but he seemed to think it was worth a shot.
So it appears I have a decision to make. Of course I have allowed myself to reach the point where decision making is difficult. It is hard to muddle through the pro and cons when your brain is moving so slowly through a fog. I keep thinking if I could just get some rest things would be ok, but that rest never seems to come. I am taking a few days off in a couple weeks, maybe I can get some rest then, and come to some sort of intelligent decision.

As spotted by our eagle eye shoppers on Sony's Japanese Store, the immensely popular Osomatsu-san is getting a shiny, limited edition Sony PS Vita. This thing has our wallets opening faster than we could have ever anticipated them to.
This version will launch with the game, which itself has six different packaging versions for each of the sextuplets… and will have a special packaging to show off that silver glam. The game is expected to launch in Japan on June 29th. Great thing: all PS Vita come factory unlocked. Going for 28,450 Yen (or roughly 262USD), this device will set you back some, but bragging rights are worth it.
The special themed packages for each sextuplet will run 13,284 Yen (roughly 129USD) for each copy and will carry the same bonuses as the other packs, minus the shiny PS Vita. What you get for the money is a special theme, copy of the game, and the console (plus happiness).
The anime Osomatsu-san follows the day to day failures of the Matsu Sextuplets as they live out their meager lives mooching off of their parents. Personally, this anime was a favorite of ours back when it aired in 2015 for its crude humor and lovable characters (determined to ruin their own lives… unintentionally of course). The anime can best be classified as a slice of life as it follows the sextuplets through their daily routines. The anime is the successor to the original 1966 anime Osomatsu-kun; which portrayed the sextuplets in their younger years.
No actual information itself has surfaced on what the game will allow the players to do. We are personally hoping that the game takes an open world JRPG approach, but that remains to be seen when actual game play footage surfaces.

We all know that life is meant to be seen in glorious technicolour and the same could be argued for your home decor. If you're wondering which particular shades and hues are going to be en vogue in 2018 then look no further as we have scouted high and low to bring you the hottest colour trends that you need to know about in order to transform your home this New Year.
Each year the Pantone Colour Institute predicts the colour trends for the following twelve months. For 2018, the chosen colour is a bluey-purple hue called Ultra Violet. The Institute usually has an uncanny ability to predict the colour of the year correctly and so 2018 is likely to be the year that purple shows us its power.
When you break it down, purple is a very mesmerising colour indeed. Interestingly, it is made up of two colours at completely different ends of the spectrum: blue and red. While blue evokes feelings of thoughtfulness, the red symbolises passion and excitement – which is quite a powerful mix for any room of your home. The colour purple has connotations of power, creativity and the supernatural which makes it perfect for creating an interesting and captivating space in any room of the home.
We are living in very exciting times and so it really doesn't come as any surprise that bold and playful colours are really going to be big in 2018. It's also become increasingly popular over the last year or so for colours to lose their gender connotations so you can really have some fun playing around with the colour palette in your home this coming year. Think warm yellows, energetic purples and watery tones of blue for a fun and engaging space that captivates the senses. Now more than every you can go bold with your colour choices and go for the extraordinary choice rather than the plain old ordinary one.
Of course a bright and vibrant colour scheme isn't to everybody's taste and preference. Modern life is so demanding and hectic but colour is a powerful psychological tool that can affect your mood and enhance every aspect of your life. There is a lot to be said for the calming and restorative nature of a neutral colour schemes. Muted and soft purple hues are common in nature, and for a less vibrant colour scheme sophisticated blush or serene shades of blue offer the best of both worlds with a dash of gentle colour that keeps it simple and reminds us that life doesn't need to be so complicated.
Some common themes that are carrying over into 2018 are the increasingly popular themes of mindfulness and escapism. Perhaps the way in which social media has become integrated into everyday life has taught us the importance of not having to be 'on' all the time. In a world where we are constantly accessible across various different methods of communication, it's nice to have somewhere we can retreat to and switch our brains off for a while. It's for this reason that we will also be seeing a rising popularity in minimalist pastels over the next 12 months. Whichever colour you choose, pop along and see us for the perfect oak or pine furniture to match.

Jean-Siméon Chardin – French painter.
The House of Cards (c1736-37)
When will the house of cards collapse? Never.
It is frozen in time by oil painting.
Chardin's still and silent composition invites us
to concentrate
on the boy's calm intentness as he prepares
to add one more card to his fragile creation.
Life is arrested by art.

MACON – Weather permitting, Monday, June 11th, Missouri Route 161/Route J in Montgomery County will be closed for a bridge replacement. The project will be at Interstate 70 near Danville. There will be several phases to this project in addition to the bridge replacement, including ramp pavement work, outer road pavement work, guardrail, lighting, and signing. Motorists should expect night time lane closures on I-70 the week before as the contractor installs concrete traffic barrier in preparation for the demolition and subsequent construction activities.
Lehman Construction, LLC of California, Missouri, was awarded the contract in the amount of $2,192,595. They will have 140 calendar days to complete all phases of the project. The new bridge will be 20 feet wider than the existing bridge.
"The demolition of the old bridge will begin on the evening of June 11th. Lehman Construction will have 24 hours to remove the old bridge and I-70 will need to be closed during this time for the safety of all involved," said MoDOT Area Engineer Erik Maninga. "During the bridge demolition, I-70 traffic will be detoured over the off and on ramps," he added. While I-70 traffic is using the ramps at the interchange, motorists needing to access the interstate should use other routes to nearby interchanges.
Changeable message boards will be used to notify motorists of future traffic impacts as the project progresses.
For more information contact MoDOT's Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MoDOT (275-6636). All information for this project can be found on our website at http://www.modot.org/northeast/major_projects/montgomery.htm. We also encourage motorists to sign up for email and text alerts at

Friday's Five Faves.
- By Beka Burke
- 3 Comments
1. This list. I think I might be Twilight Sparkle. And I'm okay with that.
2. This video. Because I just showed a video and now I want to show a scary one.
3. Barn friends. I spent a few minutes the other night talking to the Eventer about her ponykin's recovery, the freaking awesome Dapple Bay hoodie she was wearing, and training problems. And about half an hour ago, the other TB rider sent me a text to see if I would be going on the trail ride tomorrow. I said yes. And that we should get club shirts. I like both these women and it's a matter of accepting that I don't have to be competitive in any way and that no one is judging me. Also, neither of them has acted like they are better than me, which helps. The Eventer is super knowledgeable, but it's an approachable knowledge. And the TB rider is really chatty, but it's a conversational chatty and not a lecture chatty. And, you know, I'm part of the equation and I've been on my best STFU behavior.
|I'd never say "doggone it" and we all know that.
Get it here for $1.99. Or not. This website from the Horse is free. God, I'm such a sucker.
|I.. um.. never knew my TB was a "Stock" horse.
|Look at his dainty little legs.
I'm thankful that he has his own hobbies, that he supports me having mine, that he doesn't question when I say that I need something for my horse or our dogs or our cats or the crazy little reptiles that would love to eat me. I'm thrilled with his physical transformation over the past couple of years and doing my damnedest to catch up, so he can be just as proud of me. I still get giddy over this man and I still gush about him to anyone stupid enough to ask. It sounds really fucking cliche, but I hope everyone can experience a love like mine.
|Dude and I had just started dating and he'd already been dragged into this crazy.
