We originally started our business in Kenilworth, Illinois. In the spring of 2011, we moved the business to Massachusetts. Indeed a wise move, as we have greater access to older antique furnishings, lovely original art and very interesting vintage items. Along with the move, we expanded our business by acquiring a larger studio space, with more room for creating a complete collection. We now have greater access to receiving shipments from Europe and all of New England to hunt for the items which our clients and customers desire.
For a wider selection of our inventory, please visit our Etsy shop. We put most of our smaller items on Etsy. You will find many more vintage items within this shop.
Coming soon to Hartong International, we will be partnered with Second Shout Out.

We sincerely look forward to serving you!
Please feel free to contact us, with any questions you may have. If you happen to have a specific antique or vintage item you must have, but don't see it on our site, email us with details. We frequent a lot of estate sales and have priceless contacts to other dealers in the USA and throughout Europe, so it's likely we can find what you are looking for, if we don't have it. Our inventory is also much larger than what we have listed. It's taking us time to catalog and list every item. Check our site often, as new acquisitions are listed every couple of weeks.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has recently launched her own lingerie line named Hope and the first commercials to air for the label have caused quite a stir amongst the female lawmakers of her home country according to reports by The Guardian. The advertisements, which have been airing on Brazilian television in the country's native language of Portuguese, suggest that the world famous Victoria's Secret Angel is causing all kinds of problems from car accidents to overly expensive shopping sprees which she remedies by putting on Hope Lingerie and coming onto her husband so as to make him forget the troubles she has started. A voice-over that accompanies the image of Gisele in Hope Lingerie reminds viewers "You're a Brazilian woman – use your charm."
Government officials from the women's secretariat in Brasilia were anything but charmed by these ad spots. Considering that less than one year ago Brazil elected its first female president many women lawmakers perceive the ads, which have already been criticized as sexist and encouraging the objectification of women, to be a step in the wrong direction. An official statement released by a group of female lawmakers reads: "The campaign promotes the misguided sterotype of a woman as a sexual object of her husband and ignores the major advances we have achieved in deconstructing sexist practices and thinking."
Gisele has not responded to the official statement yet, considering that Hope was launched a little more then a week ago it is no surprise that they were not prepared to respond to this degree of negative backlash. Though it is certain that the supe will have to weigh in soon considering how deeply involved she has been in this label. In a statement she released last week Gisele acknowledge that Hope Lingerie has long been a dream of hers, saying "Life is made of dreams and I'm very happy to announce that now you will know the Brazilian intimate. My dream come true is for Hope."
Whether your in Gisele's corner or with the women's secretariat on this, one thing we can all agree on is that Portuguese doesn't translate very easily to English.

If you've still got a Sony Xperia Z1 collecting dust in a drawer, or a OnePlus One that you just couldn't learn to love, then good news as now you can turn them into something new.
Canonical, the company behind open source Linux distribution Ubuntu has announced that its mobile operating system has been ported by the OS's community to work on both the Sony Xperia Z1 (first released in 2013) and the OnePlus One (which made waves in 2014). It is showing both these phones running Ubuntu off at Mobile World Congress, which is currently taking place in Barcelona.
So if you want something new to play with, with a whole new suite of apps, it might be worth a try. Ubuntu OS goes heavy on multitasking, allowing you to run mobile and tablet apps side-by-side, and you can even resize them if you like. Plus there's built in support for Facebook and YouTube - so even if it has fewer apps than Android, you'll have at least a couple of the essentials.
Though be warned: Installation isn't for the faint-hearted. To install it on your phone you'll need to be running Ubuntu on a desktop computer already - and then you'll need to carefully follow instructions on the command line. [Via Slashgear]

Local businesses robbed
By Michael Johnson, Editor
Four area businesses were broken into with cash and some tools stolen on either July 11 or July 12 in the Underwood area. Underwood Farm Supply, R & S Oil, Sodas & Things all in Underwood and Harbor Bar in Coleharbor were all broken into likely July 11 or the early morning of July 12. All businesses reported damaged doors and stolen money when the burglars either pushed or pried the doors open. Hank Rasmusson of R & S Oil said that he lost about $30 to $40 in the break-in and it appears the robbers took nothing else. Rasmusson said the worst part is the cost to replace his door could be upwards of $3,000. The metal door was badly bent from being pried on. At Underwood Farm Supply, cash from the business safe was stolen along with a few small tools. It wasn't until a customer came in that was interested in the tools that the Cottinghams noticed they were gone.

It's not easy being a ghost. Your continued existence hinges on not being seen, and the only time you can deal with people is when you catch them completely unawares. Otherwise they'll not only be unfazed by your efforts to remove them, but will also be able to easily overpower you with their superior weapons and legion of friends. Indeed it's hard not to feel a twinge of jealousy towards the other guy who just charged on in and took on the whole room with their flashy abilities and deadly assortment of cool gadgets. It looks like they're having a grand ol' time, leaving you wondering what could ever possessed you to think that being a ghost would be good for you.

So we've seen when creating new modules there's a number of arguments and one of these are HTML.
So what can you do with this HTML field? Answer is pretty much anything you want! It doesn't need to just be a link. Check out the video for a few examples and click into the article for the simple steps to reproduce these!
So in the video you see two customisations. The first is the grey highlighting behind every module and the second is a confirmation box on each click of a module (neither of which are the most ground breaking of examples but just demos how to use the HTML field).
So, how were they done?
Create a new module and select link type as HTML.
In the arguments field, enter the following code:
a.menu:hover {
For the confirmation link, you can do something similar but this time add a <script> tag. In the arguments enter:
addLoadEvent( function() {
$$('a.menu').each( function(e) {
e.observe('click', doConfirmation);
function doConfirmation(event) {
var t = event.element().text;
var x = confirm('Are you sure you want to click on ' + t + '?');
if (!x) {
And that's all there is to it. You can play around with this how you like. Maybe add different roles to different modules so only show particular highlighting or do a particular action if you have the necesary role.
Or maybe create a popup so you can add a link that popups a window on top of the form instead of navigating elsewhere.

Proudly Coloring And Styling With
Hear what our customers are saying about us
I was going back and forth on switching hair salons. As anyone would understand this is a nerve wrecking decision. But my last salon was over priced and i always paid $200-$400 for something i didn't want. What could be worse than another bad haircut?
I finally gave in, being a holiday wknd, i really needed a haircut badly. So I called, maybe an hour and half prior to closing asking if anyone was available for a haircut. The receptionist was very prompt and helpful and said if i made it prior to 5pm Nicole would be able to take me. So i made few minutes short of 5pm. I was checked in, filled out new client form and met with Nicole to discuss what i was looking for, as i already have been sitting on chopping all my hair off i showed her a pinterest photo, which she welcomed. Girls at the last salon would roll their eyes. So she assessed and voiced exactly what would be done. My hair was washed and seated for the haircut. Nicole was very vocal in asking me if the length was ok and if i wanted more cut off to not be afraid to voice it. She was amazing and my haircut came out amazing and perfect! (Must mention, this haircut didn't hurt my wallet like the last place)
Im very pleased with this salon and their service. This will be my permanent salon going forward.
I could not recommend this salon more highly! Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Katieann is my stylist and she is a genius! I have never been anything less than thrilled with her work and she is the nicest person ever. I always leave feeling beautiful. Definitely recommend!
My wife and kids have been coming here for several years. Usually I just drop them off and pick them up, today I decided to go in and wait. I had a blast just sitting there and watching all the action in the salon. The staff were all courteous and friendly and everyone left smiling.

We undertake house clearance in all areas of Jarrow: Bede Boldon Colliery Cleadon East Boldon Fellgate Hedworth Hebburn North Hebburn.
A Full List Of Our Jarrow House Clearing Services
House clearances can be potentially stressful & troublesome if you use cowboy companies – Please look at our many House Clearance Recommendations
House Clearance In Jarrow Case Example: Client instructions
The owner of a four-bedroomed, semi-detached suburban house in Jarrow asked us to clear everything from the property so that he could move into it himself with his young family. The house had belonged to his mother who had passed away, leaving it to him in her will. He had already been through the property and removed anything that he wanted to keep, and he was very keen that the rest of the items be sent to a charity in Jarrow or used again in some way. He told us that his mother had been a keen charity worker and environmentalist, so this was what she would have wanted.
He also asked us to clean the house after the clearance.
Jarrow House Clearance Overview
We began the clearance in the living room where we removed shelves, books, and an old but still working TV, various ornaments, a three-piece suite and some paintings on the wall. On closer inspection, one of the ornaments was identified as a potentially high value 'tabatière' a French-made snuff box from the 18th century. It seemed that this had been missed by the owner so we called him immediately to tell him what we'd found.
We then cleared the kitchen, removing all of the white goods including the electric cooker, as well as the crockery and utensils from the cabinets.
Next, we moved upstairs and cleared everything from the bedrooms and bathroom, and once the entire property had been cleared, we cleaned it throughout to leave it in excellent condition.
Jarrow Disposal of Contents
We donated all of the items that were in a suitable condition to three charities in the Jarrow area, which were all very grateful to receive the furniture and other items that they could sell to raise funds. There were a few things that we had to recycle, but there were also some items that we agreed to resell to offset the cost of the clearance, including some paintings from the living room. As always, we removed everything from the property in our unmarked vans for the privacy of our client.
Jarrow Client Comments
Our client was very impressed by our professional attitude throughout the clearance. He was especially grateful that we'd spotted the snuff box which realised a very good price at auction. To respect his mother's memory, he donated the money to her favourite international development charity.

The Police Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, has arrested two men, Oladapo Oyeniyi and Kunle Ayotoye, for allegedly defrauding a United Kingdom (UK)-based bank of 1,200,000 US dollars under false pretences.
The police said Oyeniyi, 48, and Ayotoye, 45, stole the money between December 2012 and January 2013, during their employment at a firm at No. 3, Oje Imsisnvan Street, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos.
The duo, of unknown addresses, were arraigned yesterday before Chief Magistrate A. O. Awogboro of an Igbosere Magistrates' Court.
They are standing trial on three counts of conspiracy, stealing and fraud, according to a charge marked A/11/2017.
Prosecuting Inspector Amedu Adoga told the court that the defendants and others at large conspired and issued a fake instruction to Habib Bank domiciled in the UK to transfer $1.2m to 12 beneficiaries.
Adoga accused them of issuing the instruction to the bank under the guise that it was their employer, Mr Chris Ejike, that issued the said instruction and with the intention that it be acted upon as genuine.
"The bank believed that the instruction emanated from the defendant's employer,and, therefore, carried it out," Adoga said.
He said they stole the said money, thus contravened Sections 285 (8), 361 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The defendants denied the charge and their counsel, Bode Omoboriowo, urged the court to admit them to bail on liberal terms.
This was opposed by the prosecutor who urged the court to remand them in prison custody.
Adoga said the amount involved in the case was so high that the defendants could jump bail and that their addresses were unknown.
"It took the police years to trace the defendants," he added.
Chief Magistrate Awogboro upheld the defence counsel's argument and admitted the defendants to N5 million bail, each with two sureties each in the like sum.
The sureties, who must show evidence of tax payments to the Lagos State Government, must have landed property and must be blood relations of the accused.
She adjourned the case till February 15.

It humbles me to write this amazing blog post
I understand that the evolution of languages over time is inevitable. If it stayed static, we might all be talking like Chaucer. Still, I can't help thinking it a shame to witness a change practically under my nose, which has clearly happened because of the ignorance of the general populance. So if enough uneducated people don't know what they're talking about, our language has to make a major shift to accommodate them? It could only happen with English, never with Maths. When I said something like that to my kids, they thought my attitude was a bit pompous. Whether or not that's true, I wonder what's next in store for English speakers.
I think I have a fair idea when I engage on social media and see people's use of the word 'humble.' I've noticed Facebook statuses like this over and over, not to mention published books.
'I felt humbled to win the netball grand final with such wonderful team members.'
'I was humbled to be awarded the grand prize for my highly acclaimed novel.'
'I felt so humbled to be included on a list with such illustrious members.'
'I felt so incredibly humbled to have my contribution selected over all others.'
Now, in your mind, take that word 'humbled' and replace it with 'honoured' or 'proud' in each of those examples. To me, it seems to make much more sense that way. Surely 'humbled' in its truest sense, means belittled, taken down in size, diminished. I can understand somebody writing, 'I feel humbled when I look up at the stars and the vast Milky Way in our huge night sky.' King David actually did write something like that long ago. It makes perfect sense that he should be aware of his own relative puniness in comparison to the galaxy. But to state that you feel humbled because you won a contest is completely different. I believe it's another word we see used far more often in the opposite sense of what it really means.
How did this happen? Maybe we've unconsciously decided that using it helps us appear like modest, self-effacing people. 'I don't want to come across as if I'm boasting, so if I throw in the word 'humble', everyone will see how unassuming I am.' It seems to be the fashionable term for those who want to do a bit of showing off without appearing that they are. In his book, The End of Me, Kyle Idleman has coined the term 'humblebrag' for what he notices people doing on social media. 'I'm so tired of men giving me wolf whistles' or 'I wish little Johnny would stop asking me questions I can't answer. After all, he isn't even four yet.' I wouldn't be surprised if any sentence beginning with, 'I was humbled...' may well fit into this category.
I can imagine the dictionary some day including an extra definition of 'humble'.
1. Modest and aware of one's failings.
2. Low in rank or importance.
3. To be humiliated or made to apologise.
4. To be the recipient of recognition or honour. Used to express pride in a noteworthy achievement (informal).
When that day comes, the poor non-English speakers who are trying to learn our weird, fluid language will have another reason to scratch their heads and say, 'Huh, I don't get it. How can it mean both?'
If you enjoy this blog post and can see my point, I'll be gratified and honoured, but if enough people tell me I'm talking a load of hogwash or having a silly rant, then I'll be humbled.
6 comments:
HI PaulaReplyDelete
I'm with you on 'literally' though I sort of understand the 'I am humbled ...' I think (at least originally) it expressed the feeling of being overwhelmed when winning an accolade, the feeling of a certain level of 'this can't be happening to me' and a heightened awareness that you didn't make it on your own, that a whole team of people made this possible for you - and so feeling 'humbled' (similar to the feeling when being a recipient of overwhelming generosity - or God's grace). So - I think it is a 'thing' and that it isn't necessarily just a 'humblebrag' - but I do think it has probably become a cliche - something people think they should say in these circumstances regardless of whether they feel it or not :)Replies
Hi Jenny,Delete
Yeah, I was discussing it with Andrew, and he mentioned the sense in which someone might be trying to get across the sense that their victory may have come on the backs of wonderful teammates, for whose support they feel humbled. I do get that, and maybe that helped contribute to the overuse we see.
Yes and Yes. Both and. I agree. I am also tired of hearing everyone( including humble me) use the word ' like' in every sentence. Sometimes, like, twice in like, every sentence. Here's another one: in answer to for example the simple question ' How was your holiday?' Answer: ' Yeah No it was pretty good really.' Well, which - yes or no? I am also tired of the use of ' epic'. Particularly when it relates simply to a donut or a coffee. For heavens sake. I know, I know, I am already a woser.Delete
Hi Christine,Delete
I completely agree. I once challenged my teenage daughter to try to complete a sentence to her friends without a 'like' in it, and she was hard pressed. I wonder if the 'yeah, no' is just an Aussie thing, or if it's more widespread. It sounds a bit like us.
And don't you think the boosting up of words like 'epic' means that we have to keep inventing or discovering new ones to express strong feelings, because we've watered down the ones we already have?
Good to talk to someone who knows what we're talking about.
It's natural for language to evolve, and our English language has been evolving for a very long time. There was a wonderful series when I was a teenager called The Story of English that showed the progression from the earliest roots of our language to today (or rather, 1980's "today"). I was so fascinated I ended up taking a linguistics course in college. Yes, language changes, and many of those changes happen because the lower classes adopted words or phrases. Even though we might not appreciate the changes in the thick of it, I think it is wonderful that we can be influenced so much by the world around us. Grammar police must hate it. :o)ReplyDelete
Peace and Laughter!Replies
Hi Cristina,Delete
That would have been awesome. I would have loved to have studied linguistics too. Perhaps it just shows that the common people hold weight where it matters (in language development). I find it all very fascinating.

L.I.F.E. is an acronym that stands for Life Skills, ICTs, Financial Literacy, and Entrepreneurship. The training program is a capacity-building initiative designed to improve the lives of under-served youth in host communities. A baseline study usually precedes the setting up of each L.I.F.E. Training Centre. The program focuses on youth who do not have the financial capacity to acquire relevant ICT, Entrepreneurial and Life skills that can make them compete in the workplace
Life Skills, ICTs, Financial Literacy, and Entrepreneurship
We work closely with underserved communities and youth (ages 12 – 28 years), providing the access to web-enabled technologies, digital literacy training, entrepreneurship and life-skills training, online work training, connection to short-term internships, and supporting youth to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams
A careful selection process ensures that the school admits only those who need the intervention the most, have the highest motivation, and a deep interest in ICTs. Detailed orientation sessions with both the selected applicants and their parents or guardian serve the purpose of carefully communicating details of the training, including course requirements, clauses on conduct, rules & regulations. This process helps to commit students to a near perfect level of attendance throughout the training.
The L.I.F.E. Centre serves as a knowledge hub where youth from the community can be empowered for the world of work. It also serves as a center for the advancement of workplace preparedness for the program beneficiaries.

The "S" Word
Contributed by Jim Kane on Feb 2, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: Sermon 2 of a New Year's series based on Wilkinson's book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs
Now, I have no doubt that some of you have looked at the title of my sermon printed in the bulletin and wondered, "What in the world are you up to this morning, Pastor Jim?"
Well, we are going to hear a word that begins with "s" quite a bit this morning and I thought to myself on Monday when I started this sermon, "Hey, that's a catchy title!"
What's the word? SIN.
It is a hard word to say. It sounds rude, it sounds harsh, it sounds judgmental, it sounds old-fashion, and it sounds very, very un 21st century. But it is a Biblical word and it is God's will that we be forgiven of it and released from its power over and grip on us if we want to experience spiritual breakthroughs in our lives.
As I shared last week, Spiritual Breakthroughs are… (Overhead 1)
As we continue our series on experiencing spiritual breakthroughs, we have to face four important truths about sin that puts us in so many ruts:
(Overhead 2)
The reality of sin in our lives
The power and pull of sin over our lives
The availability of forgiveness from sin in our lives
The reality of resisting sin for our lives
As we face these truths, we can experience spiritual breakthroughs in our relationships with family, friends, co-workers, the Lord, and ourselves because sin, as we learn from the very beginning in scripture, sin, disobedience of God, affects everything.
Let's examine each of these four truths this morning:
The reality of sin in our lives
The Bible speaks of the reality of sin in the human heart and soul from cover to cover and we cannot deny that it doesn't do so.
Jesus spoke of the reality of sin often during His time on earth and we read some of those statements in the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as follows:
In the opening chapter of Matthew we read in verse 21, "And she will have a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
Matthew 4:17 provides us with a statement of Jesus spoken at the beginning of His active ministry," Turn from your sins and turn to God because the Kingdom of Heaven is near."
In Mark 1 and verse 15, we again read Jesus' proclamation, "The Kingdom of God is near! Turn from your sins and believe this Good News!"
In Luke 13 we hear Jesus say, "You will also perish unless you turn from your evil ways and turn to God… I tell you again that unless you repent, you will also perish."
In John 1:26 we read of John the Baptist's proclamation "Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
The Bible is clear that sin is a major problem for the human race and that central to the Christian faith is God' s plan and offer to forgive us our sin and to help us return to the Lord and live rightly with Him.
We see this in the availability of forgiveness from sin through Christ. In each of these just mentioned verses, not only is the reality of sin mentioned; the availability of forgiveness is mentioned as well.
The words of the angel in Matthew 1 acknowledge that Jesus will "save His people from their sins." We also hear the availability of forgiveness in the proclamation to repent because the act of repentance is rewarded with forgiveness.
Finally John's public pronouncement makes clear that Christ, the Lamb of God, takes away (forgives) the sin of the world.
We also hear in the scriptures not just about the reality of sin and the availability of forgiveness from sin we also are told of the power and pull of sin over our lives.
James 1:14 and 15 says, "Temptation comes from the lure of our own evil desires. These evil desires lead to evil actions, and evil actions lead to death."
And Paul writes in Romans 7 in a very personal and intense way of the power and pull of sin over our lives. "I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead I do the very thing I hate. I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong… but I can't help myself, because it is sin inside me that makes me do these evil things… Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."
Bob Snook has written a very pointed skit entitled "Echo" in which a mother and daughter are sitting with a mentor and as the mother shares the daughter mimics every action and word. The mother cries out for help, "Amy you've got to help me! She repeats everything I say… I can't make her stop."
