Dzign by Jamie is all about artisan lampwork beads and jewelry made from glass, gems and hand stamped metals.
Quick and Easy Product Reviews
I just found this cool app on my new Chrome browser. Yeah, I accidentally downloaded Chrome when I downloaded a PC Cleaner program. Some days, I tell ya!!
Any ways, the app is called Reel and you can upload pics of your item and share the link. People viewing can do a quick and easy review by either Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down. Just click, click, click! Here are a couple slide shows to review:
Well, you may remember a year or more ago when everyone was fed up with Etsy when they were messing with the SEO of their site. Well, we mumbled and grumbled and moved on. We being online sellers of Handmade Goodness.
We found a great place to sell our items. The owners listened to the sellers, asked advised, taught us about SEO and let us help with testing. We thought we had found the perfect place to sell. Then something changed.
When Artfire was starting out their tag line was something like Sell For Free, Always. Well, they recently did away with the free shops....after they lured hundreds of sellers in by telling them they could always sell for free.
Then they told us they were thinking about letting in the commercial business. Okay, that's no big deal. Especially since they told us that the commercial side would have to pay higher fees for special seller tools. OK, good, they'll get extra revenue from the commercial business.
But then the announcement came. Suddenly ArtFire decided that they wanted to offer the customer Assurance Protection against dishonest ArtFire sellers. Well, that wasn't such a bad idea. Artfire would first have the customer contact the seller, then if that was unsuccessful Artifire would help the customer file a complaint through Paypal. Then if that didn't work ArtFire would refund the cost of the purchase from a fund. A fund that would come from adding on an additional dollar to our locked in monthly rates. And any left over funds at the end of the year would be used for marketing. And those of us with the locked in rates could opt out of this if we chose.
Hmm, that doesn't sound too terribly bad, does it? No, I didn't think so either. UNTIL they announced that they were going to add a button to their searches so customers could see ONLY items from the sellers who offered this assurance. WHAT???
First of all, I offer a 100% guarantee. No questions asked, return the item I'll return the purchase price. No hassles, no muss no fuss. I don't need the guarantee, I WANT my customers to be happy. I don't want them to have to jump through hoops and get angry.
So what ArtFire is now telling us is that if we don't opt in to the Assurance program we could be excluded from internal customer searches .
I know what you're thinking...so what's the big deal. It's only $12 a year, just pay it and live with it. Well, if they make us pay for this feature so we can be sure to show up in searches, what will they make us pay for later, and then tell us if we don't pay we won't show up in searches? What other fees can they tack on until we're no longer paying our guaranteed locked in rate but being charged some outrageous fees.
All I can say is that my
guarantee to customers is already 10 times better then Artfires, and none of us should have to be coerced into BUYING protection with threats of not showing in searches. Are these guys trying to start an ArtFire mob? Many of us feel as though we've been lied to. Their explanation is that our locked in rates were for basic selling features. Their actions no longer represent what they were when we first signed on. They're no longer for the small seller. It feels like Etsy all over again. Almost like I'm dealing with a lying cheating spouse! I guess the honeymoon is over!
assurance program,
Look! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Jamie moving her shop all over the place!!! Yes, it's true, I sign up here and sign up there. So I thought I'd let everyone know where to find me.
I have a shop on Zibbet. I love listing items on Zibbet, it's very easy to do. And we can pick four colors per each item which is great for customers to search by color. Just a couple of clicks and my items are ready to purchase.
Zibbet is fairly new, but it's fun and fresh. And I'm really looking forward to a lot of success there. And from what I've read in the forums they have some great new features coming soon.
Also, I like that I don't have to pay listing fees and selling fees. I have one yearly rate that helps me save money. And the best part of that is that when I save money you can save money too!
Come visit my new shop and let me know what you think. I can't wait to hear from you.

Happy New Year-A New Year With New Changes
Today was a chaotic day in my head. I've had a lot of decisions to make, and rethinking it all makes me hesitant and I start to think I'm making all the wrong choices. Could I? Should I? What will happen if I do? What will happen if I don't? Usually I'm not this wishy-washy, but for some reason this is harder.
The reason is because I've made decided to say good bye to my heart and soul: Glasstastic Treasures. Oh no, don't worry, I'm not quitting the lampworking business, I love it too much to do that. What I've decided to do is to re-brand myself and instead of focusing only on glass I'll have a more generic name to include whatever I create.
Not only is it sad to say goodbye to such a good friend, but it's a lot of work to re-brand and get your name out there so the world wide web knows who you are. And I mean a lot of work. I know I can do it, I did it when I started so I can do it again!
My second tough decision is where I'd like to house my shop. My current venue on ArtFire is currently proposing extra fees to add on to our supposed "locked in" rates that were guaranteed when we signed up. Over the last year they've made their business decisions, and those decisions have impacted my shop, my internet traffic and my sales. And when my sales are not what I like then I need to fix it.
So, do I go back to Etsy? I left there stating I would never go back. I had played with the idea about 6 months ago and listed some items, and started up a Metal Amore shop there. But my heart just wasn't into it. The had treated us horribly and I just can't give them any more of my hard earned money. So now where do I go?
And my thoughts turned to Zibbet. I really like the look and feel of that site. They're new, they don't have the traffic of Etsy and ArtFire, but ArtFire was once a small less visited site and it grew, as will Zibbet. What to do, what to do.
Then my friend Dawn of Into The Dawn read my taro card today for the new year. It couldn't have been more appropriate or come at a better time. Although I'm sad to see Glastastic Treasures go, I now know I'm making the right choices. Here's what my card said:
Your card is The Wheel of Fortune (10)change for the better, good luck, advancement, upside of a cycle, end of one phase & beginning of another, improving circumstances, Lady Luck, may indicate new vehicle,turning point, personal vision.
For 2012 Glasstastic Treasures and Metal Amore will be combined into one great place to shop, and that place is Dzign by Jamie. You'll have one easy location to find artisan lampwork beads and hand stamped metal jewelry. And what ever other creations my whimsy comes up with.
Here's wishing you a great 2012!!

Romney Pandering to the Religious Right | Jason Rosenberg
Romney Pandering to the Religious Right
None of the Republicans running for president have won over the South Conservative Voters (they think) they have to in order to win the GOP nomination. Between McCain attacking Jerry Falwell in 2000 and then courting him for 2008, Romney was for gay and abortion rights before he was against them, Rudy being pro-gun control, gay rights and abortion rights and Huckabee raised taxes while he was governor, the Southerners are unhappy!
So Mitt Romney showing his true conservative side (joke intended) came out today to say that he would like Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, Governor Mark Sanford (ugh!) and Sen. Jim DeMint as possible running mates. This would please the far-right and would make the former governor more appealing to the white Southern voter.

Euro-Tourism: American Travelers Taking Advantage of Strong Dollar - AOL Finance
Euro-Tourism: American Travelers Taking Advantage of Strong Dollar
Europe's financial crisis means a windfall for Americans looking to purchase European goods and services -- especially when it comes to travel.
"People are very nervous about the debt that the European economies are taking over," says Dr. Chris Hughen, professor of finance at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business. "Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland: These are all countries that have lived well beyond their means and it's really coming home to them right now. People are essentially running to the U.S. dollar as a source of safety, and I think from the standpoint of a U.S. traveler, this is really a great opportunity."
In July 2008, the euro was trading for around $1.58. Just this week, however, the one euro was valued at $1.22 -- a 19% decline.
"It's an excellent time to travel to Europe, with the euro-to-dollar ratio closing," says Julie Barsamian, marketing director at Cook Travel in New York. "I don't think it's been this good in several years." Barsamian says her company's business has picked up by 30% to 40% this season, compared to last year or 2008. The stronger purchasing power for U.S. tourists also coincides with a rough patch for Europe's hotel industry, which is offering guests far better deals than in recent summers. "We're seeing prices that you usually wouldn't see until the fall," Barsamian says, "about $100 cheaper per night for most hotels.Yes, it's tough for Europe right now. However, this could be good for the tourism industry, at least to see a surge of travelers coming."
Euro Instability Makes Currency a Bit of a Gamble
There might be a catch, however: Getting there. Rising oil prices, aviation mega-mergers and other challenges have meant soaring air fares -- which could undo any financial benefits a weaker euro offers for American travelers. But Barsamian says there's a lot of pent-up demand from Americans to get back overseas -- especially now that the U.S. economy is showing signs of recovery. As the recession began in 2008, "we were starting to see more skittish travelers, and last year was a slower summer," she says. "This year is definitely picking up a lot more, because people have been at home for last two summers and they want to travel and they want to go all-out."
There are also concerns whether the euro might continue its wild roller-coaster ride over the summer -- to the disadvantage of tourists relying on the U.S. dollar. "I think anybody who tells you to have a lot of confidence in what's going to happen over the short run is probably lying to you," says Dr. Hughen. "What has changed, though, is that people are starting to question the viability of this European monetary union. What that means is, over the short run, we could have enormous fluctuations."
Barsamian says her company's U.S. clients have been asking whether they should buy euros before they travel, or take a chance on local currency exchanges. The trend, she says, appears to be tourists both cashing travelers checks and using widely-accepted credit cards once they're in Europe.
Even European countries that don't use the euro, such as Great Britain, may be affordable in terms of exchange rates. The U.K., says Dr. Hughen, "has been suffering from some political uncertainties as they change governments. They've also had enormous banking problems like the U.S., and the pound has not been doing well recently."
While the EU pledges to "ensure the stability, unity and integrity of the euro area," pessimism about the euro could bring the currency even lower. "When people start developing this mindset that it's not going to work," says Dr. Hughen, "you really can have a large decline in the currency. So it wouldn't surprise me if it traded for [euro-to-dollar] parity in the future."

SocGen receives Libor probe demand: source
October 26, 2012 / 10:30 AM / 5 years ago
View of Societe Generale bank's headquarters in La Defense near Paris February 16, 2012. Societe Generale, France's second-biggest listed bank, warned of more pain in 2012 after a grim quarter hit by another writedown on Greek debt and a loss at its investment bank, where traders' bonuses are being halved. REUTERS/Charles Platiau
PARIS (Reuters) - Societe Generale, France’s second-biggest listed bank, has received a new request for information from U.S. authorities investigating the Libor rate-fixing scandal, a banking source told Reuters on Friday.
“The request is not a subpoena to appear in a court but a request for more information from U.S. regulators,” the source said.
The ongoing rate-rigging probe led by regulators in the U.S. and U.K. has already ensnared major banks like Britain’s Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of America and Switzerland’s UBS. Barclays, the first bank to settle charges, lost its chief executive over the scandal.
Shares of the bank were down 2.7 percent to 24.21 euros ($31.38), broadly in line with other French banks following a downgrade of BNP Paribas, France’s No. 1 listed bank, by Standard & Poor‘s.

The writer has obtained a lot of background history to this famous work and gives good technical explanations for its early deterioration and also the Ludovico Sfortza family. However he still comes across as a populist writer and he would have benefited from better editing. There is also more speculative aspects which could have made the book a little shorter if they...

This review is from: Leonardo and the Last Supper (Paperback)
This well written, well researched book details the history of one of the world's most famous paintings.Literally, all aspects appear to be covered: Leonardo's own biography, the political, economic and military context that led to the painting's production, the contents of the work based on Biblical sources, the actual making of the painting, how it has (partially) withstood the trials of time, etc.The writing style is lively and, despite the amount of information conveyed, the book is of reasonable length and constantly interesting.The only shortcoming is the lay-out which is hopelessly traditional with rough grained black and white photographs inserted in the main text and all colour photos grouped together in a few pages in the middle of the book. It turns out that no colour photo of the fresco is actually provided!Nevertheless, this book is strongly recommended to all interested in Italy, art or the Renaissance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give me more Renaissance!, Nov. 11 2013
I found Leonardo and the Last Supper by Ross King to be an immensely entertaining and informative book. This book traces the life of Leonardo da Vinci in and around the painting of his notoriously famous last supper mural. Not only is this a history of Leonardo’s art, but it is also a history of the political scene in Italy. Renaissance political figures, especially Ludovico Sforza, ruler of Milan, feature prominently. There are also many exciting battles within this book’s pages. I am inspired to read further in the field of Renaissance history.
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, Sept. 28 2013
Informative and good read. The book is not "dry" history, its actually very entertaining. I enjoyed this. Mr King is a good writer who gives the reader a wealth of information in an easily digestable format.
A really good read. I find it difficult to put down once I start reading.

Myrina (Aeolis) - Wikipedia
(Redirected from Myrina (Mysia))
Μυρίνα (in Ancient Greek)
38°50′43″N 26°59′4″E / 38.84528°N 26.98444°E / 38.84528; 26.98444Coordinates: 38°50′43″N 26°59′4″E / 38.84528°N 26.98444°E / 38.84528; 26.98444
Myrina (Ancient Greek: Μυρίνα) was one of the Aeolian cities on the western coast of Mysia, about 40 stadia to the southwest of Gryneion.[1] The former bishopric is now a Latin Catholic titular see.
Its site is believed to be occupied by the modern Sandarlik at the mouth of the Koca Çay,[2] near the town of Aliağa in Izmir Province, in the Aegean Region of Turkey, near Kalavas(ar)i.
Myrina was a very strong place,[6] though not very large, and had a good harbor.[7] Pliny the Elder[8] mentions the fame of its oysters and that it bore the surname of Sebastopolis; while, according to Syncellus, it was also called Smyrna. An inscription (Bulletin de correspondance hellenique, V, 283) tells us that Myrina formed part of the Kingdom of Pergamon in the 3rd century BC. For some time Myrina was occupied by Philip V of Macedon; but the Romans compelled him to evacuate it, and declared the place free.[9] Under Roman rule, Myrina was part of the Roman province of Asia Prima. It twice suffered severe earthquakes; first in the reign of Tiberius,[10] on which occasion it received a remission of duties on account of the loss it had sustained; and a second time in the reign of Trajan.[11] The town was restored each time, and continued to exist until a late period.[12] It was the birthplace of Agathias, a Byzantine poet and historian of the 6th century. Myrina minted coins in Antiquity, some of which survive.
Under Roman rule, Myrina was part of the Roman province of Asia Prima and its bishopric was a suffragan of the capital's Metropolitan see of Ephesus. The names of some of its bishops are known: Dorotheus, 431 AD; Proterius, 451; John, 553; Cosmas, 787.[13]
It still existed as a residential see in the 14th century, but was suppressed.
It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular bishoprics, .[14] nominally restored in the 18th century.
It is vacant, having had the following incumbents, of the lowest (episcopal) rank :
Matthaeus Prichard, Recollect Fathers (O.F.M. Rec.) (1713.09.20 – 1750.05.22)

Me and my boyfriend (17/19) stayed in the Talayot in Aug 11. It was a great holiday. The food was great there was something different to choose from each day and they allocate where you sit which is good cause you don't have to worry about not getting a seat at dinner. If you don't like the food you could always nip to KFC which is a 2 minute walk towards the beach. Cigarette shop close to hotel. Plenty of gift shops.The beach was clean and lovely, think it was about 12 euros for two sun beds and an umbrella, but you can lie on your towel for free! We hired a bike and rode into Cala Bona, lovely place. Room was good we had a sea view which was lovely for in the mornings and seeing the sunset at night. Spacious and well equipped had space for all my things. TV had English channels for those who go on holiday to watch tele haha, Coronation Street came through good and the sky news channel kept us up to date with the riots going on at home. Room was cleaned everyday and towels changed. We got a spare card incase one of us wanted to go to the shop whilst the other showered etc which came in handy as we left it in the air conditioning slot throughout the day and came back to a nice cool room. We also visited some caves which is worth going to. We also went to the water park in Palma which is definitely worth visiting as we had a great time! Entertainment was good nothing special but it kept us entertained. Weather was very hot in august(no surprise there) think it was early/mid 30s. Really handy having a shop next door and a cafe as we slept through breakfast a few times. You have to pay for mini fridge and safety deposit box think it was 15 euros each and you get 3 euros back after your stay. Would recommend banana boating and it is not expensive. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Cala Millor.
Room Tip: Definitely worth getting a sea view room

We have just spent a week at the Talayot as the second part of a Thomson TUi 'Cruise and Stay' deal. (The cruise ship, mv. 'Island Escape', had an outbreak of norovirus, but, more of that elsewhere). We have taken around a dozen holidays in Mallorca, the first in 1974. The last time we were in Cala Millor (at the Bahia del Este) was in 1977. There were occasions during this last week at the Talayot when I thought we had been transported back to 1977! The Hotel was looking a little 'tired' overall. At Reception on arrival we paid 42 euros extra for a 'sea-view' room, on the 3rd. floor. This was worth it for the views around the bay. However, the balcony windows were dirty, and were never cleaned during our stay. Also, the bathroom mirror was only cleaned where there were toothpaste marks in the centre, but never anywhere else. The furniture was functional and of the self assembly type one could buy in MFI fifteen to twenty years ago. The tv was not flat-screen. And, in 2012, I fail to grasp how an Hotel can justify charging a fee to use the 'fridge in the bedroom! An electric kettle was provided, but, the tea, coffee etc., had to be bought by guests. In the Dining Room, the food choice, variety etc., was good. Self-service buffet, with the pleasant enough staff engaged on dirty dish collecting duties. Our table cloth wasn't changed every day, and, when a 'clean' one was spread, it often still had stains visible. The entertainment was varied. The Entertainment Manager (Sante?) worked his socks off, but, I suspect his budget was limited. We did enjoy the Paella preparation, cooking (and eating) demonstration, (6 euros each). The Wednesday evening 'Flamenco' dancing was first class. Make no apologies, but, just can't do Bingo, and Line-Dancing doesn't rate much higher. On a couple of evenings, we just had to go to other Hotels for their much superior entertainment. To be fair, this Hotel has been awarded Thomson 'Gold Medals' for nearly 20 years, but, I'm struggling to see how, certainly in recent years, based upon my experiences. I understand that, whilst it is 'family run', it is owned by a local Doctor. Clearly, he needs to broaden his knowledge of what's going on elsewhere in the hotel world, and, spend money upon a major upgrading. After all, the resort, and surrounding area, of Cala Millor, is wonderful, so, the Talayot couldn't fail to benefit.

Just returned from a week at the Talayot hotel in Cala Millor. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the sea view room that we had was quite large and looked as though it was recently refurbished/decorated. We were given a table in the dining room for the entire holiday and the meals were superb. We also enjoyed the evening entertainment although this was varied with bingo, spanish dancing, line dancing and singers. All the staff are friendly and always ready to help. The cafe/bar was good and reasonable for light lunches. I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to make a return visit soon.

Stayed at the Tayalot 31st March - 7th April. As others have already noted, hotel is in a good location (still quiet area at this time of the year) and we were lucky enough to get a room with a sea-view. Though not a massive variety of kids activities, the indoor pool is good (the outdoor one was too cold) and the hotel is quiet and well run. Food was initially an issue as there was no Vegetarian meal as standard (or perhaps I was just being naive) but that said, once we raised this they changed their evening menus. The only issue we really had was travel. If you wanted to go to say Palma for the day, we were quoted 90 euros (one way) for a taxi But there are local buses that will charge around 10-15 euros return. It's just that you will have to catch them in the morning and that it could take up to 2 hours, so we just stayed in the resort and enjoyed the weather.

We booked this holiday on a tight budget for two adults and four teenagers. We were all thrilled! The food was excellent with something for everyone. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location ensured everyone had something to do. The entertainment was varied with bingo, Spanish dancing, rifle shooting to water polo. A special mention has to go to Sante and Gabriel who worked so skillfully to keep us all entertained and welcomed. We had lovely walks along the coast upto Cala Bona...the paths are pedestrianised with lots of opportunities for drink breaks!
Room Tip: Rooms at front had sunnier balconies.

Hi just been to the Hotel Tayalot Mid March 2012. The hotel is in a good location (quiet area at this time of the year). Entertainment in general was brillian with "Sante", however the Karaoke act on the Thursday night was rubbish and best avoided!The food in general was good, however there is nothing for a vegetarian apart from vegetables! Waiters and staff were brilliant. The chance to buy the tea/coffee,biscuit packages were brilliant value for money and cannot be beaten in the area. Would definitely go again.G
Room Tip: We had the choice of going for a sea view but did not take it but ended up with one anyway!

Decided on a visit to Cala Millor and the Hotel Talayot as a last minute dealcould not have chosen better. Reception was quick and efficient a safety boxwas 14 euros with a 3 euro returnable deposit for the week, the room on the second floor overlooked the pool area and this was a better option as it was shady throughto the afternoon when it got the sun, the room had air conditioning and a fridge whichI believe there is a charge for didn't use it so don't know how much, plenty of cupboardspace, a kettle and cups, a TV with more than the usual 1 English programme, a hairdryer in the bathroom with complimentary shower/hair sachets etc. The housekeepingwas adequate for purpose there is a note on the wall to say if you require a change oftowels put the used ones on the floor they leave the decision to you when and how you want clean towels. A tip - take your own tea/coffee and whitener and tea towel preferto wash the cups myself, you can purchase coffee/tea and biscuits from reception.The food at this Hotel was really very good we have no complaints what so ever, there wasplenty of choice at breakfast full English and continental if you prefer, the evening meal had a carvery choice various other dishes from fish to casseroles and a salad bar with a choice of two soups cheese and biscuits fresh fruit various cakes and mousses you wouldcertainly not go hungry, there have been comments on here that its an old peoples homewell there seemed to be a varied selection of holiday makers when we where there includinginfants and it was nice to have your own table for the duration, the staff where pleasant andhelpfull.Out and About - The Hotel is right on the sea front Cala Bona easy to walk to most of itclosed until the season starts, Cala Millor was open for business plenty of shops noticedthe cost of hiring a bike for two was 8 euro's an hour, a normal bike had a special offer on of 5 euros for the day, the boats where running for the first couple of days of the week then thesea turned rough so no boats the cost of a trip to Porto Christo was 20 Euro's ea.by sea the bus was 1.70 euro each one way, a limited bus service in operation with regard to time table.To get to the bus stops - turn right out of the Hotel, take your second right and along there is the bus stop to the North of the Island. Cross over the road and walk up a slight inclinepast the supermarket and take your third left and along there outside the aparthotel Laurelis the bus stop to Porto Christo, Manacor and Palma etc. In the summer there seems to bea more frequent service, even buses to the local markets.If you choose to visit this Hotel you will find it value for money it is not "5 star luxury" buta comfortable base to visit the Island.

District’s progressive architecture trend continues - The Washington Post
By Philip Kennicott By Philip Kennicott April 24, 2012 Follow @PhilipKennicott
A couple passes by the Arena Stage (Amanda Voisard/The Washington Post)
Thom is the architect of the new Arena Stage facility, the elegant glass terrarium that encloses a vibrant social space and links Arena’s three theaters into a single village. Thom has a habit of adopting places and engaging with projects that have more social than economic rewards.

Not so far to the south, in Richmond, comes news that Virginia Commonwealth University has selected Steven Holl Architects to design a 38,000-square-foot arts building. The building, which will be near Interstate 95 at the intersection of Belvedere and Broad Streets, will house performance and presenting space for interdisciplinary arts events.
Holl designed a magnificent addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, and has emerged as a major player in China as well. Residents of Northwest D.C. are familiar with his house for the Swiss Ambassador, which has a minimalist cool, with windows seeming to emanate from behind a translucent skin. Initial renderings of the new VCU building suggest affinities with both the Nelson-Atkins and the ambassador’s residence, including rectilinear forms that have an appealingly chilly glow.

Inspection Day Story Lines: Marc Johnson Passes Through Tech & Ready For SDW After Slight Hangup Over Fuel Cell Bolts – King Of Dirt Racing
October 2, 2018 (Oswego, NY) – Super Dirt Week tradition starts with early bird inspections, which indicates the first race car activities of the week in Oswego. Many drivers passed through the ‘room of doom’ today including 2017 King Of Dirt 358 Modified Champion Marc Johnson who faced small infractions according to DIRTcar tech inspectors.
Both Johnson’s Big Block and Small Block Modified rides failed to pass tech on their first pass through due to fuel tank bolts not meeting seal requirements per Race Pro Weekly sources. The Johnson Racing, Lebanon Springs Excavating, and Boss Mechanical team made the proper adjustments and passed through the line for re-inspection without an issue.
The ‘white knight’ is ready to take on dirt racings best at the clay palace in Oswego, NY in both the Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux 200 for Big Block Modifieds and the Camping World 150 for 358 Modifieds.

The Gaines Gang: Good ole' books...
I am a true lover of all books. Though, over the years, life has played a bigger role and I have dwindled in the number I get to read. I still enjoy all the great places they take me and the adventures I go on.
When Hannah was a baby I started reading to her all the time. Not just books but what ever was around us. Sadly, she has yet to share in my love. Granted she likes the concept of the books. Checking them out, buying them, caring them all around. Hannah just cant sit still longer than a chapter. She is my constant work in progress.
My entire family loves old children's books. The illustrations and colors are amazing. The kiddos especially like the library books with the old dewey decimal system. It's exciting to look over the library cards and see who read the book before them. It's fun for mom and dad to reminisce over all the books we remember from our childhood. And the kids find it hard to believe that we are THAT old! Most of these I have picked up over the years at local garage sales, Goodwill, and our city's annual library book sale. This is one of my favorites...mainly for the cover alone. I was able to pick this one up at a local sale for $.50.
Hannah did like this one. Even more when daddy told her the story about when he visited the real Liberty Bell. And how one day he hoped to take her there. {I chimed in and he started calling me the Liberty Bell, little sinker!}
We hope that this year we will see some snow to play in rather than our normal ice fall that we get.
Check with your local library and find out what day they hold their book sale {and write it in your calendar, blackberry, iPhone whatever}. You and your kids will have such a great time.

Kerstin Peters Painting Blog: March 2015
If you have followed me for a while, you know that I believe that art is for everyone. We will not all end up becoming famous artists, but creating art is something that gives lots of pleasure and really relaxes. The most important part is not the finished artwork but the enjoyment of the process of creating, to be like a child again experimenting with different mediums, and surfaces. Do not be afraid to start something new.
This year, I started my ¨Creativity and Me” workshops which run once a month on a Saturday to encourage especially people who are too intimidated to start their creative adventure. I might add another mid-week workshop as I have had many people ask for it as their weekend activities are reserved for the family.
Last weekend, I held another ¨Creativity and Me” workshop at my house. Even though it was not springlike at all, it was actually snowing heavily outside, and we lost power for most of the event but this could not change the great atmosphere inside. We had lots of fun painting wooden Easter eggs and were chatting so vividly that we did not even miss the background music.
Everyone dove enthusiastically into the project. One of the participants made an elaborate sketch on a paper plate only to realize that this was far too detailed to put it on the round surface of the small Easter egg. We experienced that it was a completely different feeling to paint on a surface that is not flat. You only see part of your design which is also an advantage when you prefer a certain area of your egg. When you display your egg, you can put the best side up.
As you are totally free in how you decorate your egg, this is a project for all age groups. I tried two different approaches. For the first egg, I did the design once I had picked the colour of my egg. The next time I just started at the top and let my design evolve one shape at a time which was fun, too.
One of the participants tried her hands at a pointillist approach while another painted her favourite flowers on the eggs and added some metallic paint for extra emphasis. It took all of us about two hours to decorate one egg. However, if you would do the project with kids the time would probably be a lot shorter depending on what they want to paint on their egg.
poster, gouache or acrylic paints
markers or gel markers
Another fun and not very expensive project with kids is a nice Easter place mat made out of foam sheet. I will do this project at my Easter Crafts workshop at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex this weekend.
The materials for this fun project are :
foam sheets, (30cm x 45cm/11.8” x 17.7”)
sticky foam sheets in various colours
stick foam sheet letters
glue stick, if you only have non-stick foam sheets
For my workshop I prepared cardboard templates of a bunny, and different sized eggs.
So if were looking for something to do with your family on the Easter weekend, I hope you got inspired. I am wishing you all a Happy Easter with lots of fun during the Easter egg hunt or just while spending time with your family.
Please contact me at kpeters@DomingoInformatics.ca if you would be interested in the ¨Creativity and Me¨ workshops. The next one will be on Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 1pm to 4pm. We will be doing a personal goal mandala.

Considering that this week was St. Patrick's Day, I thought talking about my very green painting “Did You Hear That???' would be very appropriate.
This acrylic painting was done in my studio using reference photos I had taken on a friend's property. She lives in rural Ottawa and is lucky enough to have not only a creek with a waterfall running through her property but also to have several ponds and a beautiful garden. No wonder that wildlife feels right at home at her place. If I was a frog, this would be my dream place to live. Thinking about it, her garden is an oasis I would not mind having.
My painting buddies and I have painted on my friend's property several times at different times of the year. There are more than enough gorgeous views in any season: I did several paintings on site of the waterfall and creek, one of her ponds, and her spring flowers pushing through the snow.
Both the shimmering goldfish in her ponds as well as the frogs have fascinated me every time I went over. So when I looked at all the photos I have taken throughout the years, I saw many frog photos. This got me intrigued to start my frog painting. The shapes in the composition are simple enough and were no problem. However, mixing enough different shades of green and getting the frogs to be visible on this mostly green composition was very hard. Adding some rust colour and bluish green leaves helped to bring out the frogs.
It took me a long time to finish the painting but I am still smiling when I look at it today, and I am not the only one. A lot of people comment on my frog painting.
I have noticed this with many animal paintings. They just put a smile on people's faces. Most people can relate to them, think about their own encounters and adventures with an animal. Maybe it is also because animals usually make us happy. They delight us with their beauty and their sounds, whether it is the melody of the birds, the happy barks from a dog, or the loud concerts of the frogs - they let us pause and make us remember what is really important in life.
Do you have animals that cheer you up, whether a pet, birds or other wildlife whose sight and sounds make you happy? I would love to hear from you which animal make your day, and why.
As today is the first day of spring, we will probably see nature awakening and peeking through the covers of snow soon. I already enjoy the beautiful songs of the birds, and can hardly wait for the first flower to bloom. In our house we have a yearly game of guessing when the last bit of snow will be gone, not only on our property but in the neighbourhood. My guess is May 1, 2015 but I would not mind to lose this bet.
If you would like to see the original painting, it is exhibited right now at the Bean Town Ranch, 2891 N Plantagenet Concession 3 Rd, Alfred and Plantagenet, ON K0B 1L0, Canada. The Bean Town Ranch is open for the sugar bush season until April 12, 2015 every Saturday and Sunday. For more information please go to http://www.beantownranch.com. I will actually be on site Sunday, March 22, 2015.

Last week, I gave you some information about the Group of Seven.
Today, I want to take the opportunity to talk about “The Plein Air Ensemble”, a local group of outdoor painters that is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month with an exhibition at WALL SPACE GALLERY, 2316 St Joseph Blvd, Orleans. 21 artists are participating in the retrospective, among them two of the original founders, Pierrette Dulude-Bohay, and Charles Spratt. The exhibition runs from March 25 to April 6, 2015.
The show highlights the wonderful talent and diversity of this group of artists. You will find fine art works in oil, acrylic, watercolours, and pastel.
The participating artists will be present at the official “25 Year Plein Air Ensemble exhibition” opening on March 26, 2015 from 7- 9pm to talk with you about the group and the artworks.
I joined in 2009. Since last year, my friend Hélène Martin and I took over as organizers of the group’s activities which include the scouting for accommodations, getting quotes, negotiating, and finally signing a contract with a hotel as well as preparing the registration documentation for the members. During the trip, we are responsible for getting things ready for the daily get-togethers as well as the evening entertainment. It is a lot of work but I really enjoy it.
The founders of this group were three artist friends, Pierrette Dulude-Bohay, Charles Spratt, and Andrew Lyall, who encouraged by their students, organized the first painting trip 25 years ago. It took place in the fall of 1990. The first destination was Calabogie. The idea was to offer painting trips to teach students outdoor painting. However, the group soon attracted more experienced artists than students. Many artists just came to paint with like-minded artists.
From the beginning, the group's aim has been to capture the beauty of the landscape while fostering the friendships among artists. Each year, a group of organizers has planned a spring and a fall trip to different destinations, mostly in the province of Quebec. For the spring trip they hope for some remaining patches of snow and brilliant colours for the fall trip.
Nobody would have predicted that this small group would grow continuously. Today, the group has about 75 members, with about 15 to 20 taking part in each trip. Most of the artists come from the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
Some well-known artists have joined the group, like Quebec artist Bruno Côté and Kanata artist John Mlacak. Unfortunately, both of them and some of the early members have either passed away or are unable to paint in nature anymore.
There is no doubt, plein air artists definitely have to be a resilient bunch. The Canadian climate has thrown a couple of surprises at us, from arctic temperatures, snow storms, ice rain and dense fog to wind gusts, and pouring rain for the whole duration of the trip. Many of the artists still go out no matter the weather. It is amazing to see how they can set up in the front or back of a car. However, there is always a room available at the hotel or inn to set up a still life or work from reference photos when the weather is just too miserable.
Over the years the time spent painting together and the evening entertainment of games, music, and dress-ups created many long-lasting friendships. Painting demonstrations, and talks by different speakers as well as the occasional movie about some of Canada's finest artists satisfied the educational thirst.
As for me and many of the group, we are already looking forward to our next trip to Val David at the beginning of April. You will be able to read my trip report in my blog on April 17, 2015.

my Tom Thomson inspired art
Last week, I talked about the reasons for the collaboration of artists. One famous collaboration in the Canadian art history is the “Group of Seven”.
Before I came to Canada, I had never heard of the “Group of Seven” which is not very well-known outside of Canada but very important for the development of the Canadian art scene. They are considered leaders of the first major Canadian art movement.
The art scene in Canada in the early 20th century was heavily influenced by the European art culture. However, the “Group of Seven” members wanted to show the beauty of the Canadian landscape by celebrating its wilderness. They wanted to create a truly Canadian style which they believed could only be achieved by getting out of the studio and into nature. The Group of Seven is most famous for its many plein air sketches which were often used in the studio to create bigger paintings. In many cases their sketches have so much more energy than the paintings, and capture the spontaneity of the moment.
The roots for the group can be found at the design firm Grip Ltd. in Toronto where Tom Thomson, Frederick Horsman Varley, Frank (Franz, Francis Hans) Johnston, Edward Hervey MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, and Franklin Carmichael worked. In 1913, Alexander Young Jackson and Lawren Stewart Harris joined the group. The informal group temporarily split up during World War I during which Jackson and Varley worked as official war artists.
When the “Group of Seven” was finally founded in Toronto in 1920 for their first exhibition together, Thomson had already died. His untimely death by drowning in Algonquin Park in 1917 is still an incident of many speculations. However, his name is still closely linked to the group because of the influence his painting style, visible in the many sketches and finished canvases, had on his fellow artists. He had achieved a painting style which truly captured the Canadian landscape.
Alfred Joseph Casson joined the group in 1926 replacing Frank Johnston who resigned after the first exhibition. In 1930 Edwin H. Holgate from Montreal joined the group, followed by Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald from Winnipeg in 1932.
Aside from Thomson, Emily Carr was also closely associated with the Group of Seven. She met members for the first time at the National Gallery in 1927. She and Lawren Harris developed a close relationship in which Harris supported and influenced her the most. The encounter ended Carr’s artistic isolation and inspired her to the creation of many of her most famous works.
The Group of Seven increased the awareness and appreciation of the Canadian landscape.
Their use of bright colours and bold patterning was inspired by the Post-Impressionists Van Gogh and Gauguin as well as by the contemporary Scandinavian art which MacDonald and Harris saw for the first time in 1912 at an exhibition in Buffalo.
After the Group of Seven's final show in 1931, the members realized that the art community’s opinion had shifted in favour of their art, making the security net of the group unnecessary to withstand criticism.
To the contrary, with the help of influential friends and supporters including the National Gallery, the group had reached a celebrity status. This led to accusations that the National Gallery of Canada favoured their members’ works and therefore assisted them to be the only Canadian artists to receive recognition. As a result of this controversy, the Canadian Group of Painters was founded in February 1933 and included some of the Group of Seven members.
I saw pieces of the Group of Seven for the first time during my very first visit to Canada in 1994 when my husband brought me to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario. At this point, I had stopped painting at all due to a very demanding career. However, once we moved to Canada, the Canadian landscape has also captured my interest, and I have been back to Kleinburg many times admiring the works of these great artists. I have also taken some workshops exploring some of the artists and their painting style which only has increased my admiration. Even though, I do appreciate some more than others, I found that I learned something from all of them.
I hope you enjoyed this journey into the Canadian art history. If you would like to learn more about Frederick Varley, one of the founding members of the “Group of Seven”, I invite you to my new four week mini session “Painting Like Famous Artists". It will be held at François Dupuis Recreation Centre in Orleans, and starts April 7, 2015. The other artists we will study are Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, and Vincent Van Gogh.
I also offer the "Painting Like Famous Artists" mini sessions for kids at Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex. Each session, we look at different artists. The next one starts in May.
"Painting Like Famous Artists" would also make a wonderful activity for a private get-together or a child's birthdays party. Please contact me for details and rates at kpeters@DomingoInformatics.ca.

E. K. Johnston - Books on Google Play
E. K. Johnston March 5, 2019
Written by the #1 New York Times best-selling author of Ahsoka! When Padmé Naberrie, 'Queen Amidala' of Naboo, steps down from her position, she is asked by the newly-elected queen to become Naboo's representative in the Galactic Senate.

"The most powerful stories encompass a paradox. Spindle is both mythic and true, old beyond reckoning and dazzlingly, gloriously new. You've known this story all your life; you have never heard its like before. The Storyteller Queen lives, and her name is E. K. Johnston." —Rachel Hartman, New York Times best-selling author of Seraphina The world is made safe by a woman... but it is a very big world. It has been generations since the Storyteller Queen drove the demon out of her husband and saved her country from fire and blood. Her family has prospered beyond the borders of their village, and two new kingdoms have sprouted on either side of the mountains where the demons are kept prisoner by bright iron, and by the creatures the Storyteller Queen made to keep them contained. But the prison is crumbling. Through years of careful manipulation, a demon has regained her power. She has made one kingdom strong and brought the other to its knees, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When a princess is born, the demon is ready with the final blow: a curse that will cost the princess her very soul, or force her to destroy her own people to save her life. The threads of magic are tightly spun, binding princess and exiled spinners into a desperate plot to break the curse before the demon can become a queen of men. But the web of power is dangerously tangled--and they may not see the true pattern until it is unspooled.
