He's the new mayor and he'll serve for just one year. He won't get paid, but he'll do what mayors do: A few weeks ago, he rode in a Fourth of July parade.
Depending on how you calculate, he's the youngest mayor in Riverside County. Or possibly the oldest.
His name is Max — Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller, an 11 1/2 year-old golden retriever. And the new mayor of Idyllwild. Max and his rivals (11 dogs, two cats) didn't spend campaign money. They raised $30,000 for ARF — Idyllwild Animal Rescue Friends. I'm not exactly sure how they counted the votes (I am not alleging fraud), but Max came out on top.
I'm not saying every city (in fact, Idyllwild is not a city) would be well served by having a dog for a mayor. But even a cat person could see certain advantages.
Cost. The Office of the Riverside Mayor's annual budget is $900,000. A candidate in the current mayoral race proposes to slash that in half, still leaving a hefty six figure pot. With a modest food allowance, an unlimited supply of city water and vet benefits, a dog could easily run the city for under $5K a year.
Council Meetings. Because the Riverside mayor doesn't vote, a human mayor does not appear to be essential to the proceedings. An affable, self-assured canine would allow a council member — the mayor pro tem — to run the meetings while the mayor rested up for the next ribbon-chewing ceremony.
Collaboration. Because of his limited powers, the Riverside mayor must be able to work with people. Can you think of a better collaborator than a dog? A dog mayor would be trustworthy, loyal, friendly, obedient, cheerful and thrifty. Brave? Clean? Reverent? Hard to say. No officeholder is perfect. But a dog mayor would have council members eating out of his hand — or vice versa.
Governing. What do San Bernardino, Stockton and Mammoth Lakes have in common? All are California cities. All are bankrupt. None has a dog for a mayor.
Here's something you can take to the bank: A city that has a dog for a mayor will never go through bankruptcy. How do I know?
The first dog mayor in U.S. history ever to preside over a municipal bankruptcy…
Have you ever read those words? Ever? Of course not. There's your proof.
And here's something else: A dog mayor wouldn't put up with a grandstanding city attorney. By the time the canine mayor got through nipping him in the bud, the city attorney couldn't even get elected dog catcher.
Also, if a dog mayor saw plans for 42 million square feet of warehouses, he'd cock his head and wonder if it made sense. Then he'd wait patiently to find out. As a rule, dog mayors don't get unduly excited about warehouses.
Civility. What if Max were the mayor of Menifee? Picture him perched in the mayor's chair as council members and citizens hurl accusations and insults at each other. Maybe they would catch Max panting or smiling or sitting there deadpan, like a Sphinx. And maybe they'd catch themselves thinking, "Our mayor is so polite, so civilized."
What if Menifee had a mayor who could teach council members to behave more like a dog?

We should not love our NHS
State run healthcare causes enough problems as it is. But when it is run by a government in debt, who must cut their spending, there is inevitably going to be a staffing crisis.
In the news today, it was found that the UK has fewer doctors per 1,000 people than almost all other EU countries! In the report (Eurostat regional yearbook 2013):
- The UK had 2.71 practising doctors for every 1,000 people – fewer than countries including Bulgaria, Estonia and Latvia.
- The UK ranked 24th out of the 27 European nations, only beating Slovenia, Romania and Poland.
So what did the union GMB say?
Enough is enough, there can be no more cuts to budget or staffing.
Why, in these sorts of articles (not just in the Telegraph, but in fact all other media outposts in the UK), do they not consider other options, such as splitting up the NHS into more manageable chunks, or privatising services such as GP practices to save the taxpayer and government money?
The only positive thing that has happened to the NHS over the past 10 years is the abolishment of 23,000 unnecessary admin jobs which are the types of jobs that are created when things are run by the government.
ps. will somebody please raid the guardian and destroy this horrifying meme which is designed to destroy the healthcare debate in the UK. Thanks =]
Will people get off their backsides about the NHS please
The National Health Service has already become too big, but has it now finally reached breaking point? Dr Mark Porter, chairman of the BMA thinks it has, and I do too.
An article in the Guardian today discloses comments made by Dr Porter which include:
- An "arbitrary" straitjacket on the NHS's budget by Whitehall is leading to job losses, recruitment freezes and inadequate care for patients.
- Forcing the NHS in England to make £20bn of "efficiency gains" by 2015 at a time of rising demand for healthcare was wrong and damaging.
He is, of course, exactly right. Making cuts to the 5th largest employer in the world is inevitably going to have a negative effect when the government is its only source of income.
The article goes on to quote the Department of Health:
- "The key thing to remember is that there's effectively a policy that results in redundancies because the single most important policy determinant in the NHS is the spending limits on it imposed by the government."
- "The NHS's budget should be based on population growth and people's health needs rather than arbitrary Treasury spending limits."
Again, I agree with these comments. Where I start to disagree with Dr Porter, the DoH, Labour, the guardian, the BBC, and in fact, the majority of the british people, is on how to fix the NHS. We can't throw more money at it (Unless you know someone who has a tree on which money grows) because our government is already spending too much (Not to mention the debt!).
If I had it my way, I would gradually reduce the NHS by replacing services with a true free market in which private healthcare companies can operate. This would drive down the costs of healthcare compared to the NHS and would save UK taxpayers £billions. In fact, in a previous post I described how the NHS could save 8% of its budget in one swoop by privatising GP services. Do you want to pay for people picking up sick notes for work off their doctor?
Anyway, this idea is probably impossible to achieve due to the media's grip over the word 'privitization'. The only real difficulty that occurs due to privatization is it means people would have to shop around themselves for the best bargin. It means they would have to get up off their backside and make their own decisions instead of being forced to pay for one price by the government.
The NHS has been making money, who knew!
The NHS is a taboo subject in the UK, even the most brave MP does not dare speak against it.
I saw a funny tweet earlier today from a labour party supporter:
The big tory lie: 'We cant afford the NHS'. It has been in surplus for the past 5years and the treasury has clawed back £5bn
What the left don't realise is the fact that the NHS making a profit is good news for the UK taxpayer. It is also good because that money can be used to reduce government debt.
I know this may be an unpopular view, but I think the UK could benefit from a private health service if it was part of a true free market. Also obamacare is a disaster before it has even started!

Mediterranean Sea Club
A reminder of nature. A readjustment of the mind.
MESC, a new paradise cocooned into the coast of Ibiza. Reaching into the pure state of human relaxation and unity with nature.
Today many visitors seek a reconfiguration of one's self mind through the psychedelic world of Ibiza's ceaseless partying culture. Nurtured from the 70s/80s 'hippie culture' spirit of 'reaching an alternate state of mind,' this experience is enhanced by the artificial lights, endless nights and drunken sights. The often destructive and harmful method of pursuing this path has led to the proposal Re-Mind. The tourists are offered a pilgrimage located along the tranquil bay of Cala Xuclà. It proposes an experience that pampers body and mind. Meditation and relaxation are the focus of this proposal. The tool will be architecture and the resource will be Ibiza's natural attributes. Lifting the commercial blanket suffocating Ibiza, Re-Mind looks to offer a constructive rather than destructive way towards pure relaxation and pleasure. The visitors will be offered the experience to concentrate on four main qualities of Ibiza's coastal landscape; Light, Sound, Water and View, paired with a chosen sense:Temperature, Hearing, Touch and Sight, respectivley.
A seperate intervention along the main connecting path is dedicated to each pairing, augmenting its characteristics through subtle, yet powerful, architectural gestures, enhancing the natural qualities. Each experience starts from the path along the bay, through to a designed approach which leads the visitor to the main space of that element, concentrating his awareness and attempting to Re-mind.

Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. That's always been the aim of the game on Australian Survivor. But this season, the approach is more crucial than ever.
Crossing seas from Samoa to Fiji, Australian Survivor: Champions V Contenders is closer to home, but worlds apart from the day-to-day lives of the 24 contestants hoping to win $500,000 – if they can endure 50 days of serious game-playing.
For the first time in Survivor history, the series – which has more than 70 versions around the world – is pitting 12 everyday Australians (the Contenders) against 12 extraordinary individuals (the Champions) in a David-and-Goliath-style battle fought out in a new setting.
The island of Upolu in Samoa played host to last year's competition. This season, it's Savusavu in Fiji that's offering a whole new landscape to set up camp, forage for food and conceal Hidden Immunity Idols.
"I was excited – it's good to shake it up and have a new location," returning host Jonathan LaPaglia, tells TV WEEK when we sit down with him in Fiji.
"I loved Samoa – I had fun. But we did two seasons there, so I think we got the most out of it. It was time for a change."
And while fans of the show have been waiting to sink their teeth into the latest season, Jonathan wasn't always excited about the new format.
"To be honest, when I first heard the concept, I was a little wary, because they hadn't decided who the champions were going to be," the 48-year-old admits.
"I didn't want to tip into a celebrity version of Survivor. I'm kind of a purist and I think the format is so strong, we don't need to do that. But when I saw who they'd cast, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed."
Selected for their physical and intellectual prowess, the Champions hope to showcase the talents of tribe members such football stars, an Olympian and an astrophysicist over the abilities of a sales rep, a delivery driver and a construction manager on the Contenders' side.
"They really have found people who are true champions in their field," Jonathan says. "It's a great narrative for this season: people who are highly trained versus the average guy."
Since this season marks Jonathan's third time hosting what he calls "the grandfather of reality shows", you'd think he'd have the hang of it by now.
But the actor says hosting is still a whole new ball game compared to shooting scenes for TV dramas.
"First of all, you can't do a take again," Jonathan explains. "You live and die by the sword."
The former Love Child star admits remembering all the contestants' names is still a challenge.
"You've got 24 people charging through an obstacle course and you're trying to remember everyone's names," he laughs. "Thank God the tribes are Contenders versus Champions this year!
"Normally, I'm trying to remember some local name that's impossible to pronounce, as well as everyone's names, as this thing is rapidly unfolding in front of me.
"So hats off to [US host] Jeff Probst, because he makes it look easy – and I'm here to tell you it's not."
"Easy" isn't a word you'd ever associate with Survivor, least not this latest instalment. And for anyone assuming the Champions will avoid Tribal Council, Jonathan is quick to point out anyone can be crowned Sole Survivor.
"The interesting thing about Survivor is that, yes, there's a physical element to it, but this is only part of the game," he explains. "There are so many other elements that everyone gets a fair shot.
"Also, sometimes the big boys have a hard time because they have a lot of muscle that needs a lot of food, and there's not a lot of food out there.
"In some ways, it [their size] becomes a disadvantage."
But if he's suggesting the average guys have a leg-up, Jonathan's not letting on.
"It's a great social experiment," he teases. "It will be fun!"
Australian Survivor is set to premiere at 7.30pm on Wednesday 1 August, on TEN and WIN Network.

Google has been leading the market for some time now and the visual market niche is no exception. Through simple, functional design and by using bright colors they managed to develop a unified system which connects with a field that is constantly changing and adjusting.
In this article, we present a useful collection of five essential websites for any designer that intends to approach to the Google world!
Through Material Design Google provides many resources with its own distinctive visual language aiming to connect design basic principles and technology innovation, unifying diverse platform experiences while focusing on a natural and fresh design for applications.
In each of its sections the website has a series of explanations and advice to be taken into account when designing. Through examples and their own experience, they mean to show designers and developers which is for them the best way to design in an efficient and functional manner.
This library contains everything from colors, shapes, contrasts, icons, shadows, physical characteristics of element to animations and transitions… A whole series of resources and artifices that help you design or develop under these criteria.
In Material Up we can see an open board in which one finds shared work developed using "Material Design". It is a social network in which designers and developers can share, discuss and show works created in the Google system. It is definitely a great source of inspiration for those working in a project that requires this kind of graphic and design concept.
Material Palette functionality resides in its easy-to-use color combination tool. You just have to select two colors with which you want to work (a primary and a secondary color) and it will show a color palette made out of these two and also where to apply it based on guides suggested in Material Design.
It also allows you to save this palette in various formats (CSS, SVG, XML, PNG…) We can infer that this graphic trend banks on the concept of a main color and its different shadows, a secondary color to tinge and establish hierarchies and a combination of grey shadows for the rest of the components and depths.
MATERIALIZE CSS and MATERIAL DESIGN LITE
Thanks to Materialize CSS and Material Design Lite developers are able to gather resources and understand the logic behind interaction and reaction of elements. In addition, there are several tutorials about development and usability for mobiles which implies a bonus to bring oneself up to date and be able to adapt to the inertia of the digital market.
Other features to take into account are animations and usability. One of the challenges to face was to provide an organic user experience in which elements can interact and respond in a natural manner. There are several tutorials that address this subject.
On one side, there are many people who think that Material Design is a great initiative by which Google is able to extend their style, logics and their vision about digital communications and technology.
However, and here comes the discussion, there may be some who see it as a unilateral and authoritarian way for the color-lettered giant to impose their ways, which might level down graphic criteria and therefore, minimize the importance of graphic arts and development as a synergy made up by different perspectives.

Things To Do
The hotel was constructed on the site of the Sheldon Hotel, which burned in 1929. In fall 1929 Conrad Hilton began construction. Nineteen days later the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began, yet construction continued. On November 30, 1930, Hilton's first highrise hotel was opened. At 239 feet (73 m) it surpassed the O. T. Bassett Tower to become the tallest building in El Paso; it is still the city's fourth tallest building. Designed by Trost & Trost, the Plaza is an Art Deco styled 19-story reinforced cast-in-place concrete structure with setbacks at the 16th and 17th floors. It is faced with brown brick and concrete and crowned with a Ludowici clay tile pyramidal roof. The exterior remains largely unaltered from its original form. Elizabeth Taylor briefly lived in the penthouse of the hotel after she married Conrad's son, Nicky Hilton. The hotel will feature the world's largest tequila collection.
The property will offer 131 sleeping rooms.

People who are changing the style of their home, are moving, or downsizing will be looking to sell their leather furniture.
For those with smaller homes, such as apartments, a modular sectional sofa can be an excellent option. Though used in larger homes, these were originally intended for smaller spaces. These sofas can be separated, so there are options in terms of the arrangement. They can fit into corners, which is space that usually goes unused. This adds to the floor space, making the room look larger despite the sofa.
A used leather sofa can give all the benefits of this material without the high cost. By being creative, a stylish and unique room can be put together. Create a beautiful room while saving money!

"When you enter a home, greet the family, 'Peace'. If your greeting is received, then it's a good place to stay." Luke. 10. 5,6.
The new term at All Saints' Halifax begins with a new baby and a baptism. The family are really excited, love the church, and are so looking forward to the event. It may be a stretch to get all the guests in alongside the regular congregation.
Getting everyone in and making sure that all receive something out of coming to church is what we're about at All Saints'. Our vision, simply put, is to 'meet God with family and friends.' We weren't the first to think along those lines, and our founding member was rather good at turning small acts of kindness into something that would eventually shift the world - turn it upside down. Think about the few mouthfuls of food that somehow stretched to feed several thousand people. (John chp. 6.)
It's not the doing that's the miracle, but the meaning. From that point on, there's enough hope around for everyone to receive who wants to. The Church of God was commissioned to actively seek out anyone who was hungry, lost, forgotten, homeless or hopeless... and to spend time with them sharing the good news of a Saviour who cares, walked in their shoes, and has changed the rules of the game. The verse above is part of that commission.
As part of his teaching, Jesus asked his disciples to seek out 'men or women of peace.' The instruction was to go out and spend time with such people, and explain his mission. 'Going out' can mean many things, but essentially it requires Jesus' followers to turn their hearts and vision to the needs of others. Such a call is demanding and puts our neighbours' needs before our own. Initially that's a tough thing to do for most of us, but the rewards of doing so are immediate and eternal. (Matt. 19.vs.21)
Recently, some members of All Saints', who are mostly retired, began to organise into a group who 'open the book' for children. They dress up, make props and act out bible stories in school. It's not complicated, no special gifts are required, only a time commitment and a desire to bring something good and worthwhile into others lives, and they are having a ball doing it. Most had never done anything like this before. As it happens our 'open the book' team will be bringing a bible story to the baptism service next month, and I for one, am looking forward to seeing it.
Beyond that, we hope that everything we do at All Saints' is open and encouraging to all, from our worship and teaching to the cakes and coffees' that come with a friendly face at the end of our services. So, we hope to see you at one of these services, or at an event near you this Autumn term – you will be very welcome.
Your friend in Christ, Steve

This golden spice has received a lot of hype and for good reason. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is a well-known antioxidant that supports many important systems of the body. These include helping to regulate the immune system and healthy inflammatory responses, the development of new cells, cardiovascular health, temporary relief from occasional pain, the regulation of blood sugar levels, and brain health during normal aging. An important side note is that a compound in black pepper has been found to exponentially increase the absorption rate and effects of turmeric. It is recommended to incorporate some black pepper with the consumption of turmeric.
Here a few different ways to try to integrate turmeric into the diet:
- Add it to Scrambled Eggs or Tofu
- Add it to Rice
- Add it to Sautéed or Baked Vegetables
- Add it to Chicken
- Recipe: Honey Roasted Turmeric Chicken
- Sprinkle it on Greens
- Recipe: Turmeric Sautéed Greens
- Take a Supplement
- Add it to a Smoothie
- Make Tea
- Recipe: Turmeric Tea
- Make Golden Milk
- Add it to Soups
Overall, those are just a few ideas but there are many different ways to take turmeric while still reaping the numerous benefits.

Much has changed over the past decade in the way jobs are structured and the way we think about work. With increasing adoption of information technology solutions and the growth of outsourcing, tedious and mindless work is less valuable than ever. This places many jobs, especially entry-level and individual contributor style jobs, at risk.
In years past, it was perhaps enough to come to work on time every day, complete the tasks you are assigned, and get along reasonably well with others in the office. If you want job security, it is increasingly probable that this is no longer going to be good enough. It's an inefficient system and companies are realizing they can no longer afford to do things this way if they want to keep up with competition.
One way to create job security is to become indispensable to your boss or your employer. And one way to become indispensable to your boss or employer is to create something of value. (This is especially true if that new innovation requires ongoing support!) And it doesn't have to be a breakthrough game-changing innovation. Even if it were, you would eventually outgrow your creation. If it's good, it becomes institutionalized and expanded and others assume responsibility—you would no longer be needed to support it.
For this reason, job security is not a result of one big idea but rather an avoidance of getting complacent after your first home run. Ideas and projects come and go but continued innovation is valuable and companies always need more problem-solvers, innovators, and strategic thinkers. The good news is you probably already have the tools to pursue this style of work; moving from a reactive employee to a proactive problem-solver is more about your mindset than your skillset.

Put your suggestions for names for Nougat's triplets in the comments. One commenter will be drawn at random to receive a bar of handmade soap – current stock includes Coffee 'n Cream (goat milk soap); Lavender with Oatmeal (goat milk soap); and Eucalyptus / Spearmint (non-goat milk soap).
Monthly Archives: May 2014
Sneak Preview
Right on schedule
Joey was bred last July and kidded in December and the sheep, bred last fall, started lambing late February and finished mid-March. Nougat was my sole hold-out; she was bred on Christmas Day. The gestation period for goats and sheep is 150 days plus or minus. Today was day 150. Nougat, being a very considerate goat, promptly kidded this afternoon — triplets, all female. She is a very protective mother and tried to butt me when I went in to sex and weigh the kids. I managed a quick look at the three and told her I would come back to weigh them after she had cleaned them off and they were all settled in. On my next trip to the lambing jug I tried bribing Nougat with fresh hay . . . evidently I need a better bribe next time as she promptly butted me into a fence when I picked up the first kid to weigh her . . . and the second kid and the third. The first kid born is the light tri-colored doeling. She weighed 6 lbs. The darkest kid weighs 4 lbs and the medium brown kid weighs 6 lbs. All are up and appear to be fine.
A naming contest will be posted sometime in the next week with the prize being a bar of handmade soap.
Saturday Morning at the OK Corral (a/k/a sheep pens)
My dogs tag along at chore time as young pups and gradually are asked to help when help is needed. Just as important is the dog learning when NOT to jump in, offering assistance.
Sidhe learned two lessons this morning. First she learned that fresh sheep placenta is delicious. Second, and more importantly, she learned that ewes who have just lambed are dangerous.
During lambing season I limit the number of dogs that accompany me at chore time to lessen the stress on the sheep. Tuck, my right hand, comes with me more often than not but this morning I took Sidhe with me when I went out to feed. As I approached the sheep pen with the ewes that haven't yet lambed I saw a ewe cleaning off a lamb. Once I reached the pen I realized that she had a second lamb on the ground and another ewe had a single lamb on the opposite side of the pen. I made a quick detour to the lambing jugs. I had moved the two ewes that had lambed on the 5th, and their lambs, out of the lambing jugs and into the nursery pen Friday afternoon and cleaned out the jugs so just needed to re-bed the jugs, and fill water buckets and hay feeders to prepare the jugs for new occupants.
As I was heading to the barn for hay, I looked back to check on Sidhe and saw her stick her head through the fence and grab a placenta. She quickly pulled her head back, just as the ewe rammed the fence. I left her happily chewing and made a quick trip to the barn.
Once the lambing jugs were ready I threw some hay to the ewes without lambs and then went into the pen to move lambs and moms. One of the twin lambs was alert but unable to stand. I picked him and his twin up, and with mom following me, moved them into the lambing jugs. A quick check of the lamb revealed no muscle tone in his hind legs.* Sidhe, very sensibly stayed out of the way. When mom was happily munching on her hay, I went back to the main pen to move the ewe with the single lamb. She was less willing to leave the rest but eventually did follow me and her lamb into the lambing jug. I had only pulled the wire panel closure behind her when the ewe followed me in, thinking the ewe would be content with the hay in the feeder. I was with the first ewe and lambs when Sidhe started running up and down outside the lambing jugs. Not surprisingly, the ewes both became upset and I told Sidhe down. She promptly laid down just outside the entrance to the lambing jugs. Evidently the second ewe felt threatened and the next thing I knew, Sidhe was screaming bloody murder. The ewe had pushed her way through the wire panel and gone after Sidhe. Being a smart dog, Sidhe had broken her down and run. However, she didn't realize how fast or how determined a ewe with a new lamb could be and the ewe chased her halfway across the working pen before Sidhe circled back to where I was trying to get out of the first ewe's lambing jug. The second ewe hit Sidhe just as Sidhe came along side the wire panels making the front of the lambing jugs. I was sure Sidhe was seriously hurt given her vocalizations and hurried to run interference with the ewe so Sidhe could escape. She did run out of the working pen but stopped less than ten feet away, standing quietly and waiting for me. After I got the ewe back with her lamb and closed off the lambing jug I called Sidhe to me expecting to find some injury on her. I was very happy to discover she was in one piece. I was also very happy to see that Sidhe was showing no signs of being afraid to come back into the working pen or to pass close to the sheep in the other pen.
Two valuable lessons.
*The lamb is still not able to use his hind legs. He pulls himself along with his front legs and has learned how to prop himself up to nurse.
Addendum: This post was written on March 8, 2014. The lamb finally managed to stand on his feet a couple of days later and I thought all would be well, but he died the next day.

Learn How To Make A Basic Wooden Stool With The Awesome Technique!
Woodworking is heavily based on skills and practice. If you are interested to invest your time and patience on it, you need to know the basics, techniques and tricks to guide you. You will also need projects in which you can practice applying your knowledge. One of the most common projects in woodworking is a shop stool. It is a simple wooden stool with a half lap joint to make it sturdier.
In this video, the process of making a basic shop stool will be demonstrated. The base of the stool uses the half lap joint technique. This technique helps in supporting, making the stool stronger. It is one of the easiest techniques to do as well. Half of the material will be removed and in place of the removed piece, another material will be placed.
Mathematically, the first material is halved, yet a whole new material is placed to replace the missing part. Watch the video to learn more about this technique and start your own shop stool!

An initial piece of foreshadowing — why the Mathers didn't invite former babysitter Lily (Odessa Young) into their home — paid off in full. The same can't be said about the mystery identity of the hacker responsible for exposing the sexual secrets of their small-town American burg. What begins as a hyper-anarchic flat-out black comedy takes an overly talkative turn at Tarantino Terrace before collapsing under the weight of that vilest of all genres, the slasher film. Yet another faintly imagined feminist revenge epic that tries to get a handle on misogyny by role-reversing its leads — in this case, a quartet of of color-coordinated besties — into even more toxic variations on their male assailants. The film also raises the age-old question: how do one's person's hands get covered in blood after administering a single blow to the head with a baseball bat? With: Hari Nef, Suki Waterhouse, Abra, and Bella Thorne. (2018) — Scott Marks

A lot of us spend hours at our desk at work and that includes our lunch break. I decided to do something different and reclaim back my lunch hour, rather than spending it at my desk, as I usually do. I decided to explore what was on offer around St Paul's where I do the day Job. Situated across the road from my office, is the Guildhall Art Gallery, which is the focus of this post. The Guildhall Art Gallery, The Guildhall and The Guild Church of Saint Lawrence Jewry are all located in the Guildhall Yard in the City of London. Who knew there was so much history around me. Note to self, I should visit more historic sites around the city of London and maybe you could do something different and explore what the vicinity of your office has to offer.
Most recently, the reception and end of the parade after the service of commemoration at St. Paul's Cathedral, marking 13 years of military operations in Afghanistan took place at the Guildhall, I captured these lovely pictures outside my office.
The Guild Church of Saint Lawrence was built in 1666 after the fire of London. The Church is the official church of the Lord Mayor of London and the City of London Corporation.
The Guildhall Art Gallery has recently re-opened after extensive refreshment and rehanging of works. It was first built in 1885 and shows a changing display of about 250 artworks from its collection of paintings, drawings and sculpture out of a collection of over 4000 works, in addition to a programme of temporary exhibitions. The Gallery is also responsible for significant works of art held in the Guildhall, statues in the Old Bailey and further sculptures and the Harold Samuel Collection of 17th Century Dutch and Flemish Paintings at Mansion House and the Lord Mayor's residence. The Guildhall Gallery is the first gallery in the UK to open its doors on Sunday to members of the public.
During my visit, a tour of the gallery was going on, so I joined them and my visit had a completely different perspective, it was more informative and the paintings were brought to life by the tour guide's enthusiasm. Here is a rundown of my visit and me reclaiming my lunch hour by exploring what my city has to offer around me.
City of London
On entry, to the left of the gallery is the ground floor gallery, showcasing the activities and buildings in the financial capital of the UK and major landmarks around the city of London. It is fascinating to see different parts of the city of London that I walk by everyday in paintings from over 50 years ago to present day.
It is also interesting to see how the landscape of the city has changed, but yet remains the same through these art works, as depicted in the works of William Logdail (1859 – 1944) of The Ninth of November 1888, which shows the iconic Royal Exchange and Bank of England of London in the background.
The painting was commissioned by the Lord Mayor at the time, capturing the eve of the Lord Mayor ceremony. The painter sketched out the people in the painting at the site of the event and painted them in later in his studio.
Monumental Painting
At the entrance of the gallery, you can't help but notice this gigantic art piece in the main gallery from the upper Mezzanine floor, which extends to the lower ground floor. This painting was painted by John Singleton Copley' depicting the Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar. This enormous painting measuring 302 cm × 762 cm (214 in × 297 in), was meant to take two years to complete initially, but it took the painter eight years in the end. During the first world war the painting was rolled up and stored in Oxford. In 1974, it was in a dreadful state and it took another eight years to clean and restore it. In the history of this amazing art work, two buildings were built around it, including the Guildhall Art Gallery which currently accommodates the painting today.
The Victorian collection
On the same floor in the main gallery is a wide variety of Victorian paintings on display. The collection spans the period of queen Victoria from 1837 – 1901 and is displayed in the style of that era with chains hanging from the ceiling and framed in golden decorated frames.
In this period, artist started challenging the subjects depicted in paintings which were often inspired by religious themes. Artists started capturing everyday life around beauty, home, work, leisure, love and imagination which are spectacularly displayed around the Mezzanine floor. Some of which I've captured below.
Apparently, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Americans are big Collectors of this style of artworks. I love the display, frames and the way the paintings are hanging from chains.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Amongst the Victorian collection is the works of Rossetti, which is the most valuable painting in the gallery's collection. Victorian painters including Rossetti aimed to capture and redefine what was deemed to be the beauty ideal at the time.
Tower Bridge Exhibition
The gallery has a space for temporary exhibitions. The current temporary exhibition is the 120 years of Tower Bridge (1888-2014) celebration.
An interesting piece, which is somewhat out of place is the works by Mentor Chico, the painting was still a little bit wet when it was brought into the gallery. In celebration of 120 years of tower bridge, this painting provides a lovely contemporary perspective of the city of the London compared to the other paintings in the gallery. It shows multi-cultural aspect of London and the painting also featured himself as one of the people walking on the bridge, it shows the newly installed glass walk on tower bridge. The gold sky could be viewed as a symbolism of the city running on money and gold. The artist captures the Walkie Talkie, the chess grater and the Gherkin buildings caressing the skyline.
Another contemporary works that caught my eye is the abstract realism works of Judith Evans and Arthur Watson. The artist describe the image of Tower Bridge as an agent of progress in a period of political and social change at the time.
The spirit of London 1981
There were other works in drawings, photographs and paintings by different artists which also captured the different interpretations of Tower Bridge and its history.
Some photographs of Tower Bridge
London Bridge
London Bridge was not left out of the collection. London Bridge was the first bridge on the Thames and there was a cost for crossing to ease congestion and recoup the cost of building the bridge. The works of Clarkson Frederick Stanfield captures the congestion on London Bridge at its opening, which could easily be a scene on London Bridge today during rush hour. I like the way the artist captured the double decker buses and lorry carts in different colours and the general hustle and bustle of the city.
The opening of London Bridge
Market Scenes
Some other works featured market scenes around the city of London. Lovely paintings of Smithfield, Exmouth and Billinsgate markets below.
Oldest Paining
This painting by John Michael Wright of Sir Hugh Wyndham is one of the oldest paintings in the gallery's collection, which was painted around 1617. The collection at the Guildhall Art Gallery started with this piece. There are only two remaining of these magnificent works, as most of them were destroy in the fire of London. The other one is at the Ministry of Justice at the Old Baileys. Rumour has it, that the painter only painted the head and the rest of the red rob was done by his students,as the body appears to be out of proportion, the head and hands look too small for the body.
Unfortunately the lighting at the gallery was not suitable for photography and I could not get a good shot of this amazing works, but you may be able to get a feel for the size of this paintings, Its enormous! This needs to be seen in person.
Mayoralty Oath
Right next to the oldest painting, is a painting of the ceremony of administering the mayoralty oath, which is rather interesting as it is painting of a ceremony that takes place at the London guildhall in absolute silent and is still done at the Guildhall today. The artist has chosen to show people having conversations.
London's Roman Amphitheatre
In 1988, Museum of London archaeologists made an astonishing discovery that changed the face of Roman London. The capital's only Roman amphitheatre was located in Guildhall Yard, during an archaeological dig taking place in preparation for the new Art Gallery building project. This led to over a 10 year delay in the opening of the gallery. In 2002, the doors to the amphitheatre opened for the first time in nearly 2,000 years. I ran out of time and I did not get to visit this part of the Gallery, maybe another lunch break.
Well that's it for now, thank you to the tour guide and the guildhall art gallery. I enjoyed my lunch break, happy I did something different. I really liked the way the gallery mixed old masters paintings and contemporary art. It was fascinating to see what the City of London looked like ages ago captured in different styles of art works. Some of the art works are huge and it is much better enjoying the whole collection in person, so visit if you are ever in the area.
Admission to The Guildhall Art Gallery is Free for most exhibitions. Visit the Guildhall Art Gallery website for more information. Opening hours: Monday – Saturday 10am – 5pm and Sunday 12 noon – 4pm
How are you spending your lunch hour? Not at your desks I hope:) Please share and comment on your mini adventures during your lunch break.

Human behavior almost always falls along a continuum; people seldom exhibit extreme behavior. Extroverts and introverts were one of the last bastions of either/or measurement, and now social scientists are rethinking that measure as well.
Extroverts are stimulated by interactions with others; they appear more socially confident and connect with others more easily than introverts. Introverts crave alone time, which they need to recover when they've had too much social interaction. Generally, psychologists believe that your extrovert or introvert behavior is set at a very young age and stays constant over time. But what if you don't feel you fit neatly into one of these categories?
I can relate. Although I'm an extrovert, I find these days that I need more recovery time than usual after big, noisy, social functions. I also have a friend who has always identified as an introvert who recently ran a very successful campaign for public office. You would never have guessed that meeting new people and speaking in public was a challenge for her - she made it look effortless.
Psychologist Hans Eysenck coined the term "ambivert" in 1947 and defined them as people who balance the hypersensitivity of some introverts and the domineering attitude of some extroverts. Author Daniel Pink says that ambiverts are socially "bilingual;" they can switch back and forth between the two types of behaviors. "They know when to push, and when to hold back."
A site called the Science of People offers a quiz to see whether you might be an ambivert. For the record, I scored in the extrovert category, but closer to the middle than I might have a few years ago. According to Adam Grant, a professor at University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, there is a definite "ambivert advantage." His 2013 research found that ambiverts make better salespeople than extroverts, surprising since we tend to think of extroverts as having the classic sales personality. Over a three month period, a group of (mostly male) ambiverts produced 32 percent more revenue than introverts and 24 percent more than extroverts.
The sales employees in the Grant study who scored at the exact midpoint between extroversion and introversion averaged sales of $208.34 per hour, considerably more than any other group (and 66 percent more than their extroverted colleagues.) Grant attributes the ambiverts' success to their ability to listen more than they spoke, a classic introvert trait. He went on to suggest that ambiverts score higher on leadership traits as well, making them the optimal pattern for successful entrepreneurship "…since leading and selling are at the heart of what an entrepreneur has to do."
Ambiverts have the ability to lead and listen, and may be better at bringing out the best from introverted employees and partners. As long as they understand and nurture their own dual nature, they can achieve strong results over time. They may also have the ability to recognize and hire other ambiverts for key roles, creating a more balanced company culture.
For years, we assumed that successful leaders, entrepreneurs and salespeople had to be extroverted. Psychologists now believe we were influenced by the extroverts who were frequently in the limelight; they craved the attention and didn't hesitate to talk about their work. The ambiverts, it seems, were off somewhere else, quietly building successful companies and raking in record sales. Maybe it's a quality more employers should look for when building successful teams.

Spam, oh how we hate it.
Turns out there is a new form of iTunes-related Spam, and this is not just affecting iTunes users, but non-iTunes users too.
The email, is in the form of a typical iTunes receipt.
There are few things you can keep an eye out for
- The Song Listed: "Whatever You Like [Digital 45]" is priced a little high
- The Totals don't add up - $372.99 = $984.99 = $795.99 = $976.99??
- Billed To: Store Credit - Have you topped up with Store Credit?
- The Date is formatted DD/MM/YY which in some countries is wrong
- The Currency is $, so if you live in Europe, UK or somewhere where "$" isn't you currency, its not for you!
Sophos Security Blog, says that if any of the links on the receipt are clicked then it will redirect you to a Canadian Pharmacy page with advice on how to please you significant other.
If you can add up, or know how a receipt works, you will notice the 'totals' and be smart enough to realise its not a legitimate email.
Apple saysJust keep an eye out for these emails.this is a very new issue and they are working to get it under control. They said to delete the e-mail from your inbox and do not click on any of the links provided. If you received this e-mail and do have an iTunes account, check the account to make sure everything is in order.

Travelling and living abroad has been one of the defining characteristics of my life. My parents both having wild souls, I was always taken to different lands as a child, and this instilled in me a deep love of exploring and adventure. At twelve I travelled to Iceland alone to meet with a friend, at fifteen I went with just a friend to Hamburg, after school I spent two months in Europe, after university I moved to Australia, and many, many more trips in between. After Melbourne it was Brazil, after Brazil it was Edinburgh, after Edinburgh it was Berlin, and on we go. I have visited every continent, and mastered the art of saying "a bottle of house red wine, please" in more than a few languages.
Travelling Vignettes is my way of remembering each of these experiences, trying to capture the feeling of these moments, rather than just filing them away under "been there, done that". I will slowly meander down the misty pathways of my memories, and strike a light into those areas that might otherwise grow dark and dim. They may be memories of only a fleeting instance; a feeling, a friendship. They may reach their tendrils around the the whole, softly pulling together the pieces to paint richly how it was then. I hope you will come with me on that journey. Come, take me by the hand and let me lead you down the path, and we will sit together by the fire.

A STUDY ON a new test for breast cancer shows that it reduces the need for chemotherapy in some patients.
The test, Oncotype DX, involves a sample of the tumour being taken and sent to the US for gene testing. It has only been available in Ireland for four years.
Suitable patients
Patients who are suitable for the test – whose cancer is node negative and hormone positive – have their tumour gene-tested.
The test looks at the activity of 21 genes in this particular breast cancer, and is able to see how the cancer is going to behave into the future and whether it would benefit from chemotherapy or not.
Genomic Health presented 11 studies today in Vienna, Austria, on the test in Ireland.
They include a real-life observational study in Ireland, which demonstrates significant reductions in chemotherapy and cost savings when the test is used in early-stage breast cancer.
Dr Janice Walsh, Consultant Medical Oncologist at St Vincent's University Hospital in Dublin, led the research project for the All Ireland Co-Operative Oncology Research Group (ICORG) in collaboration with the National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP).
Dr Walsh told TheJournal.ie that the test has been standard practice in the United States since 2005, but was only introduced in Ireland, following a long campaign, in 2011.
Ireland was the first European market to publicly reimburse the test.
The study at Irish hospitals showed that out of the 583 patients who were included in the analysis, 59% underwent a change in their treatment decision.
339 of the patients would have been recommended chemotherapy had they not undergone the test – the test showed that they could be changed to hormone therapy alone, as chemotherapy would have given them minimal or no benefit.
Dr Walsh said this is "hugely significant" as it means the patients can avoid the side effects from chemotherapy.
It is estimated that there are about 600 eligible patients a year.
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Irish women.
Kieran Kenny of Genomic Health said that the test has demonstrated value for patients and the health care system.

These candy cane cookies have always been my favorite cookie. I love them. They are very mild tasting. I just love them.
They are orignally from my mom's Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. That book has been so used and loved that pages are falling out, are taped together and all over. Maybe your family would like them too.
I always double the recipe! Here is the size batch I make:
1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup shortening
2 cups confectioners sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups flour
2 teaspoon salt
red food coloring
granulated sugar
crushed candy canes
Heat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit. Mix together butter, shortening, confectioners sugar, vanilla and almond extract. Blend in dry ingredients. Divide dough in half. Color one have red, using enough for desired shade of red.
Shape 1 teaspoon dough from each color into separate ropes, twist together into candy cane shape. Complete cookies one at a time, place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 9 minutes or until set and lightly brown, very lightly brown. sprinkle with sugar and candy cane mixture
Should make 8 dozen cookies, but never does 🙂

Wow, has December been a crazy month in the stock market to say the least. Lanny has taken advantage of some of the craziness and put some capital to work and so have I. There have been some frustrating moments for me (I'll describe those later in the article). But overall, I was excited to grab some stocks at a discount and continue to build my forward dividend income. Luckily, my account was still eligible for free trades and I was able to engage in a lot of small trades. With a fresh cup of coffee in hand, I'm ready to summarize the stock purchases. Let's dive right in!

Bert's June Dividend Income Summary
June is coming to a close and you know what that means….we are officially halfway through 2015! That's right, our year is nearly 50% completed. Are you kidding me?? It seems like just yesterday that I was writing my 2015 goals article and trying to scheme about how I am going to knock these goals off. This month is one of my favorite dividend months as most of my portfolio pays out in third month of the quarter, so this is always one of my favorite articles to write! Let's see how I performed in June and if I was able to knock of Lanny, who had one heck of a month as well racking up nearly $850 in dividend income!
Bert's Recent Purchases – PM and CVX
Lanny isn't the only one to purchase stock recently, as I re-upped a stake in one position and initiated a new position in another. Both transactions have occurred over the last couple of weeks and added a nice sum of dividend income to my portfolio. This month has been crazy for me and has been one of my highest frequency trading months since I started investing a few years ago. Let's see which companies I added!
Bert's Dividend Income Summary- December
Happy New Year everyone! 2014 is officially in the books and we turn the page to a new, exciting year. 2015 will be the year of major moves, as we all continue to build on our success and grow our passive income. You know that dividend income we all received this year, we will receive more this year just from the power of DRIP and increasing dividends (See the impact of dividend growth on your portfolio). Since the year is over, I wanted to take one final look at the dividend income I received in 2014 and review my December 2014 totals. I have a surprise in store for everyone, possibly a new dividend record for me! So let's begin.

Alan Taylor has been speaking to SFX about his work on Thor: The Dark World and how Marvel's decision to delve into "period stuff" helped when working on the sequel.
"I love doing period stuff, and I was immersed in Game Of Thrones," he told the magazine. "I was lucky that Marvel seemed to have an appetite for that this time. They'd consciously steered away from that kind of thing in the first one. Because they wanted to make sure they were distinguishing themselves from Lord Of The Rings. They didn't want to be mistaken for that. But by the time I came along it seemed like they were ready to embrace a slightly more historical attitude towards it."
As for the difference between this movie and the first film, he added: "In my mind this is an ancient, ancient culture that highly reveres the horse and the culture of the horse. We still use fountain pens because we think they're really cool – it's not like we all use laser pens.
"So I think there's a living culture that keeps these things. To me the defining thing was that Thor is a superhero amongst many superheroes, but the thing that makes him different is the thing that should be featured in the movie. And that is that he's also a warrior prince from ancient culture."
Thor: The Dark World stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba and Christopher Eccleston, and is released on November 8.

Hi Terry,
Just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for going above and beyond to help my mum, Carole Nash. You helped get her condo staged and ready for sale, sold it so quickly and assisted her in finding a new rental apartment! These are just the more tangible things that you did on her behalf, but you were also a big support for her during these big changes. You supported her and were there for her while she faced various stresses and helped her overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. More importantly, you showed you cared and you listened and that means so much to both her and her family, like me, who are so far away.
Thank you ever so much Terry! We will definitely be recommending you to friends and family in the GTA!–Michelle Dobeson

Four Tips for When Your Senior Won't Do What She Needs to Do
Your senior knows that she should be doing certain things to keep herself as healthy as possible, but how is that going lately? If it's not going so well, you might have to try some of these tips.
Get a Grip on Your Reaction
Your first reaction to this type of situation is not likely to be the one you really want to put forward. It hurts when your senior isn't taking care of herself and you might want to do things for her. You can't force her to take better care of herself and you shouldn't simply take over, so that means you need to have a better first reaction. Step back and remind yourself that you're there for your senior and that you want the best for her. That can help you to approach this conversation from a more friendly perspective.
Talk to Your Senior
When you've got your reaction a little more under control, talk to your senior. Listen to what she's telling you about why she's not taking better care of herself or why she's not doing the things she knows she should be doing. There may be a lot more going on than you realize, especially in regard to how she feels about her health and about what is happening. She may also have a much different approach to handling the situation.
Look at How Important the Situation Is
After you get her perspective, it's important to look a little deeper at how urgent this is. If your senior's actions, or inactions, are going to create a serious health hazard for her, you may need to keep pushing her. If what she's doing doesn't create a dangerous situation, you may need to let it go. For instance, eating junk food a couple of times a week might not be incredibly bad, especially if she's eating healthy foods otherwise. But failing to check her blood sugar might be putting her into a more dangerous situation.
Let Your Senior Know You're There for Her
You need and you want to help your senior, but there might be times when all you can do is let her know you're concerned and that you're there for her. Ultimately, there are a lot of decisions that she's going to make on her own and that she should make on her own. Unless there are reasons for you to push harder for her to do things your way, you may need to simply step back for a bit.
Something else to consider is that sometimes caregivers find their recommendations to be ill-received by their senior family members. Having home care services providers offering the same assistance or advice can sometimes go better, simply because that person isn't a relative. It can be worth a try.
If you are considering Home Care Services in Mansfield OH, call the caring staff at Central Star Home Health at (419) 610-2161. Providing services for families in Mansfield, Lexington, Bellville, Mt. Gilead, Loudonville, Crestline, Galion, Shelby, Ashland, Wooster, and the surrounding areas.

Winter journeys by stagecoach were never comfortable and often the roads were impassable. Travellers had to take their own food or rely on the roadside inns where their coaches stopped to change horses. The stops were brief, the food served hot, was always rushed: the coach waited for no-one.
This mode of travel, which looks so attractive on Christmas cards, was very different in reality. Roads were very uneven and often muddy. William Cobbett writing around this time said of Sussex roads that the 'clay is bottomless'. It was even suggested by one visitor that the people and the animals of Sussex had such long legs because they were always having to pull them out of the mud.
Coaches weren't very comfortable. Washington Irving said: 'There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse; as I have found in travelling in a stage coach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place.'
One's travelling companions sometimes left a lot to be desired. Smoking too much, talking too much or eating too much as in a coach used by Lord Macaulay:
'I travelled with a family of children who ate without intermission from Market Harborough to the Peacock at Islington,[London] where they got out of it.' They brought baskets of food and bought more on the way at all the stops.
It was dangerous journeying by stagecoach for many reasons too. Coachmen sometimes raced each other with disastrous, even fatal consequences. There was always the risk of highwaymen, and it could be extremely cold. Hot sweetened ale with beaten eggs was a useful reviver at the inn.
Turnpikes were set up to help pay for improvement of roads and cottages like this one were built for the toll-keeper and his family to live in right beside the road. It was a thankless job in many ways: he could be woken at any time of the night to let someone pass, many travellers avoided the toll if they could and he was always vulnerable to robbers who knew that he had toll-money in his house.
Despite all this, his job was seen by some as a comfortable one.
Contented in my little house,
On every call I wait
To take the toll: to ope and shut
The five-barr'd turnpike gate

Since I got on the goal bandwagon for 2014, I've encountered so many great goal-setting and goal-keeping printables on my favorite blogs. I knew I could benefit from the accountability of writing out my goals, and I was sure you would too. After a quick search on Pinterest, I found few excellent sources. Since these printables cover a variety of personalities and goal-setting styles, hopefully you'll find one that's right for you!

Wall Clocks For Kitchen Modern – A lot of people that fall in love with the wonder and beauty of antique wall membrane clocks decide to choose duplications bits because most people just want to set the clock to the right time and also tell a tale of the type of clock it is, where in fact the clocks were made popular and what the annals behind the clocks are. Despite the fact that these folks may have a duplicate clock, they will still employ a good story to see and a very good conversation piece to spark these testimonies when they are entertaining in their house. Besides, hardly any people invite an actual clock connoisseur with their home for brunch.
Alternatively, some people made a decision to get an actual authentic antique wall membrane clock not recognizing that they include quite a little of responsibility. Real antique wall membrane clocks include a lot more than simply a good story. Most of them come with traditional paperwork that tells where and when it was made and perhaps which company managed to get and the year or at least the period it was made. Generally, this paperwork is very old and will need to be stored in a secured place where continuous ruffling will never be a choice. With an traditional antique wall membrane clock not only will one need to make sure the clock works but one will also need to find out are there any special care and attention and maintenance regiments that will have to be performed and how often.
wall clocks for kitchen
Many times people want to forget about their furniture pieces once they have located them in "the perfect place" in their house but, often with more mature items like traditional antique wall membrane clocks the "placed it and forget it" attitude is not an option. For situations, a wet or very moist environment or a host with sunlight or fluorescent lamps will never be a choice with these things. Dampness or moisture content may make a few of the paper or cardboard swell and sunlight or fluorescent lamps may cause a few of the ink on these sensitive items to diminish, essentially ruining enough time piece and, depending about how much you paid for it, depreciating it from a pricey heirloom to a worthless status. If these clocks are appraised and covered with insurance then a few of these behaviors could make your insurance policy null and void.
wall clocks for kitchen
A couple of two main types of traditional antique wall membrane clocks, ones that are spring-driven and will run for about eight days or ones that are weight-driven and will run for about thirty hours. Real antique wall membrane clocks usually also include labels, stamps or brands of authenticity that may be easily ruined if located in the incorrect area. These clocks are also usually much bigger and far heavier than modern or duplicate wall membrane clocks so be mindful to make sure they are secure in the area that they are hung. Unlike modern clocks, slipping off the beaten track a few times or your "Tabby Kiddy" jump on or scratch it up could wrap up costing you your investment. Be sure you discuss all old-fashioned items with your homeowner's insurance agent because items of great price may have special clauses concerning whether they are covered or not.
These are a few of the main reasons that when looking to get an antique wall membrane clock, a person should always ask themselves first if an old-fashioned wall membrane clock is right on their behalf and if so, which kind? There are various kinds of old-fashioned wall membrane clocks from old English, old People from france, old German to early American, or ones that come from specific eras like WWII or the Renaissance etc. If you are a meticulous person who pays close attention to details and would like to get and care for one of these elegant time bits then by all means research and look into the purchase.

Cannot remember....
May 5th 2019, 03:08 PM
I can't remember my username, since it's been a long time... and when I'm trying to create a new account, it won't let me. Just says "cannot create account". Well. (All I can remember is that I had a fish as my profile pic.) Just whining, I guess!
