For any individual who is new to living in marquees buying the most apt gear can be a very bewildering experience. The advocating you glimpse is all professionally finished and the writers are very skilled in telling you what their merchandise can do for you. What they don’t notify you, of course, is what their merchandise can’t do for you. This is where recommendations from an skilled third party can be a Godsend. In this item I will focus solely on buying the best living in marquees oven, the one that matches your own living in marquees requirements.

Camping ovens, like other pieces of living in marquees gear, arrive in allotments of forms and sizes. To take the disarray out of your buy you should first conclude which kind of camper you are. This will simplify and slender your area of seek making your supreme buying conclusion that much easier. There are three very broad kinds of camper:

Backpackers and hikers have their own exact needs. Everything that they convey has to be as lightweight as possible. If the opening is there they may favor to construct a campfire and prepare nourishment on that. Sometimes though this isn’t possible. In numerous locations campfires are ostracized because of the risk of grave brush or plantation fires. A little essence or propane oven may be a poor alternate to a decent campfire, but will explain the difficulty of how to make a warm drink or a lone pot meal. Safety note. Fuel for essence ovens should always be conveyed in a made for the job container. Leaking inflammable fluids and rucksacks are not a good idea.

Couples and very little groups are not going to be joyous with a lone burner oven, except of course, they are hiking. If they have transport the least significant oven that they should address will have not less than two rings, though three would be better. This assembly may furthermore address a compact solid fuel BBQ grill. If they have transport, heaviness is not rather so much of an issue.

Families and bigger groups are the fortuitous ones, in my opinion. Typically they will be traveling by vehicle and will are inclined to stay longer in one place. They will not desire to spend all of their vacation preparing nourishment and so need to select the preparing nourishment gear carefully. The smallest obligation here has got to be at smallest three burners, in addition to, investments allowing, a blended grill and oven. I have my own individual very well liked that is very compact, only the dimensions of a family slow cooking appliance, but is large-scale sufficient to prepare nourishment a full bake dinner. It furthermore makes a BBQ large-scale sufficient for up to six people. I often use this in the kitchen at dwelling, which is really what I acquired it for in the first place.

Hopefully the overhead will have unblocked your brain of some of the disarray you may have been feeling about buying your new living in marquees stove. It’s not actually that tough when you can isolate what your desires actually are.

For a more in deepness gaze at this subject encompassing my own individual favorites, which encompass the baking oven / grill I cited previous, you may desire to ascertain out the website below. Happy camping.

Van Halen World Tour T Shirts is the epitome of Van Halen. T Shirts are used to savor the great times gained by going to their concerts and even meeting group members. Lets take a look back at the rise of group and some of the high times and low times of the group.

Since their 1978 eponymous debut, wow that was a long time ago, Van Halen has been rocking crowds. Simultaneously, Van Halen rewrote any and all the rules of rock rock guitar. Eddie redefined what a true guitarist was developing a blindingly fast techniques. Included in these techniques was a variety of self taught two handed tapping, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals. At the time no one was doing this. It was only compared equal to vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards. Unlike Eddie, Roth did not have the blessing of great technique. But what he did have took off, showmanship. Together, with a lot of hard work, they made Van Halen into one of the most popular American rock & roll band of the late ’70s and early ’80s, and in the process set the template for hard rock and heavy metal for the ’80s.

The ’80s is when Van Halen really took off. Due to the fact that it was impossible to not have heard of Van Halen’s instrumental technique on recoreds that ranged from the heaviest metal to soft pop. To give them more of a spot light, other heavy metal groups stated copying the antics of Roth. One of these was Sammy Hagar, an arena rock veteran from the ’70s who replaced Roth after the vocalist had a falling out with Van Halen in 1985. Hagar stayed with the band longer than Roth, helping the group top the charts through the late ’80s and early ’90s. However, the group’s sales began to slide in the mid-’90s, just as tensions between Hagar and Eddie began to arise. In one of the most disastrous publicity stunts in rock history, Hagar was fired (or quit) and Roth was brought back on, seemingly as a permanent member, but only for two songs on a greatest-hits album. He was subsequently replaced by Gary Cherone, a former member of Extreme.

Bonjour,
Je m’appelle Alain Chadelaud, mon surnom, c’est Chacha, je suis guichetier à la Poste, mais, malgré la sécurité de l’emploi, je cherche l’indépendance financière pour pouvoir gérer mon temps comme je le désire.

Je viens d’avoir 54 ans (eh! oui! plus de la première fraîcheur!..) et débute sur le net depuis environ 6 mois seulemnet.

Avec les premiers revenus générés par mes sites (si, si , c’est possible, j’ai des preuves), j”ai fait l’acquisition d’outils supplémentaires me permettant d’augmenter mes revenus en ligne; j’en suis actuellement dans cette phase de réinvestissement, mais m’en trouve “débordé” par trop d’informations :trop d”information nuit à l’information, je viens d’en faire l’expérience! Que de formations à ingurgiter pour réussir! Réussir sur internet demande aussi beaucoup de temps et de travail, contrairement à ce que vous font croire certains…

Je viens de créer ce blog à travers lequel je souhaiterais vous faire partager mes sites via mon site principal e-affairesenligne.com  en bas de la page principale duquel vous trouverez des liens vers mes autres sites.

Merci à tous, j’attends vos commentaires (positifs ou négatifs: c’est par la critique qu’on s’améliore!)

let’s take a moment..
At least some break from your daily lives, and spend time with family and friends. How graceful our lives are in the United States! Reading Thoreau always reminds me of the inherent good in life– let’s not watch messages that tell us we need more, we’re not good enough, we’re overweight or uncompetitive. In debt or unemployed, we have everything we need. Cherish our health! Relish the community! Our politicians are doing well! Sometimes being happy is the best privilege we have.

Things I’m thankful for this year.
1. Good food. That it still exists, if you know where to look, and donations of pure generosity. The good people in this field who do writeup work, and fight to bring this onto your table for every day.

2. Collaboration: The internet brings us new ways to learn and work together to solve our problems. As someone who just got a job because of the ‘net, I’m making it work for me in Boston. That’s a lot to say.

3. The poor, grassroots, and homeless. These are my favorite people, and god-bless them this Thanksgiving. To the random poor man trying to make bills work, doing odd jobs around the community, that I relate to so well: I respect you.

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope that everyone finishing up schoolwork can concentrate and become the person they wanted to be.

About a week ago I did my demonstration speech on “How to Open A Starburst with Your Mouth.” I think it went pretty well except the video was extremely hard to hear. So I’m going to post the link just in case anyone wants to watch it again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoLUICC1k-Y

This link goes to my best friends youtube. There are many other videos on the site. So make sure you check those out too.

Anyway, as always everyone did amazing on their speeches. I would like to thank Frances for taking my advice and making ice cream sundaes. They were amazing. All of the food was amazing. I think I liked these speeches the best.

Candee cracked me up every time someone forgot to make a conclusion. It is pretty hard to remember to  make one when you’re up there explaining everything. Sometimes you just get so lost in the speech and there’s not really anything else left to say about it. So if you feel like you’ve forgotten something at the end of the speech, just look at Candee and she will be giving some sort of look or hand motion. Haha.

Our last speech is a persuasive speech. My idea is to do something on “following your heart/dreams/getting out of Ohio”. I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to do that. I’m not going to lie, I have the Winter Blues already.  I’m slacking and I feel really depressed about being here. I’m not sure if this is going to hurt or help my speech. But all I think about is getting away from here and following my dreams. I want to do something big. And I just can’t do that around here. I’ve been thinking about how to organize it in my speech for over a week now and I think I’ve got a decent idea of how it’s going to work out.

I’m sorry I didn’t have anything really awesome to write about. This weather makes me brain dead. The only thing I can think about right now is winter break and sleeping. <—Which is why I need to move to a place that is warm ALL YEAR LONG.

See you guys on Monday!

Discovering that an internet site you are relying on to collate data that you have been collecting over a couple of weeks for an effective PR strategy, has suddenly lost your details is a tad annoying. Did I say tad? I mean really, really annoying.

Duplicate invoices, incorrect forms and continual misinformation from trusted sources, can also drive you potty. Not to mention having to stand up on public transport due to the ever increasing numbers deserting their cars (not a bad thing, I suppose).

Will this ever stop? Probably not. But all this stress will lead eventually to my ultimate goal…success.

Anyway, enough preaching, I went for a business meeting the other day. On my way! We spoke about PR (obviously) self-employment and loft conversions (it was relevant at the time).

I’m soon letting Cookie PR loose on Twitter, so feel free to follow me on there (and let me know if you decide to try out digital PR, want to get in touch with myself, or even have an interest in self-employment).

"National proverbs: Serbia"

Without new experiences, something inside of us sleeps. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert

I was watching scrubs today (Scrubs five).  I’m not a massive fan, but it is pretty funny.  They were talking about lists they had supposedly compiled when they were younger of all sorts of things that they wanted to do before they were thirty, and I thought… why not!  I wrote my own, endeavouring to keep it to fifteen so it isn’t ridiculous.  So here is my list:

1. Visit the following countries:
   Egypt
   Italy
   New Zealand
   India
2. Speak Spanish fluently
3. Have read all of Shakespeare’s plays.
4. Have been to an opera
5. Busked with friends
6. Have (successfully) made souffle
7. Have been on a cruise
8. Run a marathon
9. Have written and a novel and been published
10. Have properly explored Australia, including Uluru, the great barrier reef, train across the country, skiing, bridge climb etc
11. Learnt how to write in shorthand, and in calligraphy
12. Buy a brand new car
13. Help out in a soup kitchen
14. Swim with dolphins, and then with sharks
15. Self publish my Gt relatives poetry along with my own in a compilation for my Grandad.

I want to add so much more, but it is unrealistic enough without them added on!  Most of the things I want to do in my life are ridiculously specific so I tried to be as general as possible here.  For example, I want to ride a bicycle (one of those cute ones with the baskets that has a baguette sticking out of it) in France wearing a striped scarf and a beret.  And I want to go to Egypt and buy a poison ring like the one my Ancient History teacher has, and put berocca in it so I can make it fizz like poison when I pour it into something.  Because, y’know, poison totally fizzes.

Anyway, what are your top 15?  And why?

I only have 7 more sleeps until my husband and I go on our 12 night Caribbean Cruise to Egypt!  My wonderful husband won this holiday through work and we are absolutly over the moon to be going (even if it does mean leaving the little 4 year old behind for a while!).

I have read some absolutely great reviews regarding Royal Caribbean and nobody seems to be able to say anything bad which is good!  Our holiday is totally paid for apart from booze and excursions and I am really looking forward to being able to tell you all about it when we get back!

If you would like to know more about Royal Caribbean Cruises, visit their website www.royalcaribbean.co.uk!

Yesterday I went swimming in the sea. We have had some blustery weather and althouth the tide was not very high the waves looked good. I donned my wet suit and clutching my surf board I took to the water. A friend joined me. He was inspired to have a go having seen me out a couple of weeks previously. We did not get a good run in on the waves but we did have a good laugh and enjoyed being out in the elements.
Back on the beach we quickly changed, exchanged watery experiences and enjoyed a hot cup of coffee. What have you done that is different? What would you like to do that is different? How can you overcome your fear? Be bold, start the week as you mean to go.

As a child with a younger sibling, Roger, I felt a responsibility to take every opportunity I could to teacher him something, anything , and ad nauseum for my mother I’m sure.

However, it did make me the perfect candidate for a babysitter first for my brother and later for every child under 10 on my block (10 at the time).  The seemingly endless hours of babysitting lead to several teaching related opportunities first at the Western Springs Recreation Center and later at the YWCA in Boulder, CO.

Teaching trumpet lessons was my first experience with creating lesson plans and assessing development.  While the lessons were not formal they provided me the experience to teach the same subject to different types of learners.  I learned to tailor my teaching style and method accordingly.

As a camp counselor I was exposed to the types of challenges every teacher faces – the unexpected.  However, camp counseling taught me to plan ahead (and for the unexpected) as much as possible.  I also learned to quickly think on my feet, either to come up with a spur of the moment activity or react to a conflict.

Camp counseling also opened my eyes to the rewards of teaching.  Watching the girls learn, over come challenges, and experience a fun activity was a gratifying adventure to say the least.

During my undergraduate studies at DePaul a course requirement for my Community Journalism course was to volunteer at a neighborhood center in Chicago.  As an ACT tutor in Pilsen, I not only tutored students for testing, but learned about the community, their educational challenges and goals.

Upon graduating from DePaul University as an undergraduate, I was hired as a full time by the department I worked for as a student employee.  Working for the university allowed me the opportunity to work in higher education, a field which I highly respect and admire, and further learn the area I had worked in as an undergraduate – design and publishing.

After working as a staff member of the university for three years, I decided it was time to go back to school to become an educator so I could have a direct impact in education by teaching students.

It was a cold day today, and still I remember the moment before. Last November 17, 2008 this is the day that I’ve seen my best ever brother in my life. It’s really ridiculous in my side that we both like the same girl at one time. She was although beautiful and charming. She was one of my school mates when I was in elementary at Bogo Central School II but I never recognize her. I was shock when she told me that we are schoolmate at that time. It was amazing that the world is too small for us. I thought that we are destined t o each other. She was studying at Cebu Normal University and she was fourth year at that time. The three of us meet because of the Pilgrimage in Angel of Peace at Talisay City. That was pretty cool. Lorenzo (my ever dearest brother) invites me at that time. At the car that we are riding I’m the only one who never got sleep because I’m still working graveyard at that time. I talked a lot, feels like I’m in the office. After that I decided to be with her till the end of the afternoon. I left my brother at that time so that we have some chat with this girl named Renalin.

I already have her number and at that time I want to contact her. At first I contact her but she never answered it. I thought that she is busy and had a class at that time. This is really ridiculous in my side feels like wondering in the midst of the dark with no light to coming in. But I know still me have lots of hopes.

November 17, 2008

I was so amaze at that time that she was in the church. Wow! She was pretty cool and she was still blooming at that time. I can’t imagine that she was here just to say hi for me. And my ever dearest friend was there also. I was so touch that she recognizes me even though I only have her just for a day at that time. Lorenzo is my friend when we are in high school. We are opposite in common. He is idealistic and a good listener. He is always still at my side no matter what happen at that time. He is one of the friends that inspired me most about how many obstacle lives has with. He encourages me every time when I was down. He was a pretty cool friend that I have in my life. I know that gestures of Lorenzo at that time. We often called him as “Isoy” for his nickname. We both know each other. At that time I know what he meant. I know that he left me at the end of the road for something but he never told me about it. I ignore it but inside of me I feel sad and deeper blue.

In our friendship with Ingke, Kent and Isoy with Galay and Malyn we have a gathering every Christmas and New Year. We celebrate it together in the house of Isoy just to mesmerize the past that we had when we are in high school. We really had a great time when I remember the Christmas last 2007 and 2006. And I ignore everything that had happen to me last November 17, 2008. It was not a good omen for our friendship. I do believe that if I want to see him in the near future it should be 10 years from the day that I left him and he left me.

 December 2008

I never joined the Christmas gathering. I am at the boarding house sleeping and get relaxed to relieve the stress in my life. I am studying at that time while I was working at one of the call center in Cebu. I lived at Jones at that time. Consolacion is an hour travel to reach and I don’t have a good time to celebrate Christmas with them. I change my number and never call them or send an SMS neither to greet a Christmas at that time. I saved there number but don’t have time to send SMS greetings. We are in different network provider at that time. I already forget them and I want to change my attitude next year. The year 2009 is good for me. I want to change everything on me. But I’m sad, fells like I’m celebrating a blue Christmas in my dreams.

Welcome 2009, January

In Cebu we celebrate Sinulog Festival and that was the time I change my company. I worked in holidays and Sundays with Saturdays. I spent my New Year with my board mate that has no time to go home. We have some karaoke and eat some foods. We watch the fireworks display at the Crown Regency Hotel, which is the tallest tower in the Philippines. It was an awesome display and I have no time to go back in Consolacion to celebrate the New Year with them. I know that it was a new life of mine. I have some friends in the office to talk with but I don’t have time to divulge any information about me at that time.

January 10, 11, 12 of 2009

I have a bleeding at that time. I’m not feeling well at that time. I’m sick but I’m still working every early in the morning. I worked 4 AM because it was Daylight Saving Time in the USA at that moment. I am sick.

January 31, 2009

It was a hot morning but it feels like it was so cold. I don’t have any communication with my friend. I went to the doctor already and they advised me to have some rest. So I rest, when I woke up at 12 NN I was so dizzy and fainted at the hallway in my room. I cried for help and I can’t see anything at my way. I’m trying to fight for it but when I arrived at the doorway of my room I decide to sit down and I am unconscious. I don’t remember anything. When I woke up I saw my board mates that they are helping me. I feel the pain that was in my hand. I have lots of rashes in my body that they figured out. They plan to send me in the hospital so that somebody will take care of me. I don’t have any contact numbers of my parents. So, they decided to send me at Cebu Doctor’s Hospital.

EMERGENCY ROOM

My body was so tired and it feels like that I can’t live anymore. My body was dying at that time. I don’t know what my illness is. One of my board mates ask me if you have a contact number of my parents so that they will know that I am at the Emergency Room. I don’t have it. I gave them the number of Lorenzo to contact my parents even though we are not neighbor but I believe that he can contact my parents in just a couple of minutes.

Parents Arrived

My parents got arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon. I don’t see him I expect that he will be coming together with my parents. I have a low platelet at that time and have a temperature of 39.8 degree. It was so hot, it can boiled a water maybe. I thought that he was really numbed; he never had a time to come and see me. My mom says, “Isoy will be coming tomorrow because he was so busy”. I understand that he was so numbed. I can’t imagine that he left me behind.

Around 4 in the afternoon he arrived at the emergency room. I was so amaze and was happy. I’m wondering if Ingke is around or Galay but both of them were at the school at that time. He assists me in my urinalysis and the nurse got an IV with dextrose. They confine me at room 503 at the fifth floor. That was the first time that I was confine in the hospital. It was dengue fever. The room was spacious but boring. I thought he forget about me at that time. I thought that our friendship will run down at that year. But what I expect is wrong.

February 5, 2009

I am discharge at the hospital. I go back to Consolacion and tell him about what had happen in my life. He was wondering why is it that I never shown in the Christmas Eve and the New Years’ Eve. I told him everything; it’s hard for me to tell a lie with the person who is true to you. He told me that he suffer everything about love and sacrifice everything to the girl named Renalin. My heart was blue at that time.  I told him that I am in love with her. But since he told me that he already does a sacrifice so let me be the one to let go. But I ask him favors if you and she will be at the relationship just tell me so that I can refrain to her.

April 20, 2009

They are in a relationship. He never told me that at that particular day. I was so sad because I read his gestures. It was so awful in my side but its okay he was my brother. We declared each other as a brother after I was confine in the hospital. He told me in the next day that they are in a relationship. I can’t breath. I don’t know how to. Around 1 in the morning I was at the Hospital at Eversley in Jagobiao Mandaue City. I can’t breath and my body was stiffened at that time. I cried a lot because I can’t breathe.

April 29, 2009

It was a rainy day in Cebu at that time. We went at the Seminary to have some sports feast. I played chess and I got only the second prize on it. I can’t concentrate because of her. When we gone home it was a heavy rain and she was sitting beside me but not with my brother. He got jealous. He went home alone without me. I am guilty. I don’t have time to deal with this. I want to solve this issue that we had.

We go to the house of Isoy whether Rena like it or not. I don’t care about it. I don’t like that this is the day that our friendship will be gone. I love my brother and I love he girl I want to let them happy in there life. While we are at the house of Isoy he was cleaning the room. I know that if we are sad we force to clean our room. That was the funny moment of us. He told me that you can have her in there house, and his eyes is full of tears. I don’t want it. I let her go because you have it. We are walking towards Cansaga while we are talking I scold him that I don’t like the way you act today. I’m trying to save your relationship that would be the reason that I am here right now bringing her in front of you now. He told me “sorry”, it touches my heart and I am so happy for it.

We reached the Cansaga Chapel and Renalin went home together with him. When he comes back he told me again, “SORRY” and he’s eyes have tears already. He hugs me and I hug him. It was a sensuous story that I had. They are right now in a good relationship. That is brotherhood for me. You need to compromise to each other to resolved the issue. You need to listen to each other not yelling or ex communicating them. It will never help out if you never listen to each other. Apologize to each other and derived a solution. This is the real meaning of friendship. Till now we are in good terms with the girl also.

Rejection is something we have all experienced. Many of us have been rejected by our families, our church, a prospective school, employer, or publisher. As humans, we have a huge capacity and desire for love. The biggest rejection of them all is by a love interest.

I will admit that I used to watch talk shows on a regular basis. My favorites ones were The Maury Povich Show and of course The Jerry Springer Show. I just never had enough of these guests who would willingly go on their shows and sometimes even embarass themselves on national television. Private rejection hurts, but public rejection is the ultimate worst.

I can’t count how many times I watched as a woman in love was ruthlessly rejected by her man. Some were so broken down and desperate for love that they would beg for affection, hoping that he would stay with them. There are women who have purposedly gotten pregnant, thinking that he would step up to his responsibilities and marry them. Ladies, no man is ever going to respect you if you don’t respect yourself first.

As woman, the matters of the heart never come easily. It’s usually an emotional rollercoaster with plenty of heartache. Many of us know how to mask the pain well, while others crack under the immense pressure, struggling to put back the pieces. Although I am considered too young to know the game as you would call it, I’ve had my fair share of love. I have had enough experience to have a good idea of relationship do’s and don’ts. With every year that passes, I know there will be more added to both sides of the list, but in the meantime, here’s what I  have learned.

This post is mainly for the ladies. For the men who may choose to read this, feel free to take notes, or better yet submit a response.

First things first, men do not validate you! YOU VALIDATE YOURSELF! Too many women have been killed as a result of domestic violence. If he isn’t treating you well, move on. Your life is worth more than him.

Second, please don’t waste your time waiting patiently by the phone for his call. Nor, are you to jump the minute it actually rings. The last thing to do is wait on them hand and foot. Once it starts, it’s usually hard to break away from it.

Third, why oh why do we allow men to have so much weight on our appearance and behavior? You are your own individual. You can take his opinion and suggestions under consideration. His words are not law. Remember that!

Fourth, compromise is essential in any relationship. You can cook on this day and he can step and cook for you every now and then. Thankfully, God creates us with two hands and two feet, why not use it?

Fifth, have you ever wondered why some men expect you to dress a certain way with them showing the curves and other assets that are now off the market? Then expect you to dress like a nun when they’re not around. Uhh, ladies the word is balance here.

Sixth, women tend to lose their dignity and self-respect trying to build the ego and confidence of their man. I’m not saying it’s wrong but the job is not entirely yours. They have to carry some of that responsibility too. You can’t do all of the work.

Seventh, trust your instincts and make the decision for yourself. It’s great to have the support of your family and friends, but it isn’t always guaranteed. Before you get into any relationship, make sure he is exactly what you’re looking for. Never settle and don’t even think that you have the mystical power to change who he is. The last thing you want to do is look back five years later at time wasted on a brother who won’t settle down with you or worse.

Eighth, avoid drama. It’s not a good look nor does it do any good for you. You ever notice that even when it’s the man’s fault, the women are always the ones stressing. It’s always the women fighting, cussing. pulling hair. The man just stands aside watching the show. Give the blame to whomever it belongs. Regardless of the situation, you’re a woman first. So act like a lady at all times.

Ninth, we need to draft a woman’s bill of rights. Some men, nowadays, take women for granted and need a big wake-up call. I am not your mother. I will not baby you. If you want to be a grown man, you will be treated like one and nothing less. No I will not run all around town with a metrocard, when you have a perfectly good and working car. No I will not wash your drawers when you still live at home with momma. No I will not do the grocery shopping so that you and your boys can have snacks during the game. When was the last time you took me out?

Tenth, women need to be united. Enough of this backbiting, creeping, man-stealing foolishness. Enough of the weave fights and expensive hair repairs. Cut the car-keying and tire-slashing.

If you can’t handle a relationship and the twists and turns involved, DON’T DATE!

We perused the Sephora, we weren’t quite sure was a Sephora, one more time. I was drawn to a Spiderman cologne, which ended up smelling like lemon cleaning substance. Nadia headed to a shelf with a scent she knew. “Need a tester?” I offered. Nadia declined– “I know this one,” before liberally squirting.
She sniffed her wrist and offered it to me. Ughh…something was wrong! It doesn’t smell right, she lamented. Too late.

We headed out of the  ”Sephora” laughing.

Our suspicions seemed confirmed. We were now pretty sure the store must be hiding a disclaimer or facing a lawsuit (if anyone bothered to notice or care).

I’m non-material, don’t much like shopping and have little brand loyalty. Despite, it is always surprising when you realize the product you’re seeing only shares a similar name and packaging style.  This applies for food, clothes, makeup, jewelry, accessories etc.

Sometimes the differences are very easy to spot, as Nadia and I discovered last week. Others are are less obvious if you’re not suspecting.Plus, the practice obviously isn’t confined to expensive brands, to which the shampoo example attests.

It happened to me a couple months ago with shampoo. I bought a bottle, which I could have sworn was Herbal Essences.

The texture of it noticeably sucked and I was disappointed. About halfway through the bottle I made a not-so-startling discovery. I was using “Herbal Care” rather than Herbal Essences.

Silly me right? But hey, it even had the same picture of the fruit/flowers, green top and pink color.

The other thing I find most entertaining about the whole brand knock-off practice, is very often descriptions and product details are spelled completely incorrectly too, raising the question–is the brand misspelling always purposeful?  Very likely if these fakes were trying to be legitimate they would have typos, which would give them away despite

Back in Mohandaseen Nadia and I have moved from the “Sephora” to two amazing accessory stores which beckoned with their glitter and lights. Beside the photo-worthy brands featured here, highlights were a large selection of snake sunglasses (Nadia modeled every pair), belly-dancing beads and endlessly shiny, big and beautiful earrings.

The best part? Nadia and I failed to buy the shoes and warm clothes we set-out for. Looks like another  bedazzled-visit is in order!

Just this last weekend I was spending quality time with my family on the farm (meaning I was sitting in a combine and doing my best to not trample over any delicate corn heads) when I was blessed with a whole afternoon (after finishing the corn of course!) to take my dad’s Chevrolet and do a little off-roading adventure.  I backed up my illegal actions of trespassing on every abandoned building that I drove upon (it’s all for the art, so its okay, right?), and put on a orange cap, just in case I looked remotely like a deer to the frolicking men with their rifles strapped to their back. The day was a sunny 55 degrees, minus the brisk 30 mile an hour wind, and a good time to unwind from the endless stresses of homework and the ever inevitable worry of what may lie ahead in my future titled “Being a real adult.”  Bouncing around on minimum maintenance roads and climbing through glass-edged windows led me back to a happy time and place (those good ol’ high school days), when my friends and I would pose for pictures using our new abandoned discoveries as subjects (pretending to go to the bathroom in an old outhouse was a never-tiring pose).

Armed with only my camera and tunes playing on the radio, I was blessed not only with wonderful weather, but many new subjects that were just waiting to be explored.  My very first subject was a house that migrant workers used to stay in when they would come to work for the farmers in the summer, and then leave back to the warmth of Texas in the winter.  Besides the ghetto writing all over the walls, the chunk of bird dung I collected on my black gloves, and me nearly falling in a hole in the porch, it turned out to be a worthwhile subject for future works.

Continuing on my journey, and excited by by new painting prospects, I drove into an abandoned house…before I saw the cable dish…and the dog barking in the window.  Fearing I would have to pretend to sell girl scout cookies instead of telling my real motive, I searched for human activity then quietly left.  On to the next!

Minutes turned into hours as I bumped along on rural roads (some as abandoned as the houses), and the further I traveled into “no-man’s land” I realized that the abandoned buildings seemed to be more prevalent then inhabited ones.  The landscape was barren, flat, and wind-blown and the houses still contained curtains that fluttered in the wind.  Besides the fact that $300,000 green combines were chugging away in great expanses of fields, I felt as if I was in an era different then the hustle of bustle of today.

One particular house made me realize that these houses, although completely inhabited for years, still contained very real, and very substantial evidence that these houses were once entities of living, breathing people.  I first saw a pair of underwear (or I should say, I stepped on it, it clung on to my shoe, and I kicked it across the room) when I realized that it belonged to the elderly lady that seemed to vanish from thin air, leaving all her belongings behind.

The suspect at large

Along with her undergarments, her house was strewn with bank statements (from the local Hunter Bank) clothes, shoes, furniture, and a calender that she had checked off every day up until January 20, 1990. On that day, did this lady go to the nursing home, or did she just quietly pass away?  One may never know.  The forgotten memories haunted me for a moment when I came upon a dresser set that was the exact same as a dresser set my grandma had before she passed away and passed it down to my brother.

The replica of my grandmas dresser

When my grandmother died, her house was meticulously cleaned out by her loved ones, either sold or kept in the family.  This women, her name stated so starkly on her bank statements, must have had a family at one point too.  Whether it be her family was all gone or too far away to care, her house lay almost exactly as if she was still living there, not a single soul in the world caring enough to clean it out and keep some of her memories to pass on to future generations.

Last but not least, I stumbled upon a true “little house on the prairie”, that still held the original house, two barns, and smaller sheds, and was located down a long driveway surrounded by a crowd of dead elms.  After exploring all that there was to see, I had to end my photo taking journey with a humorous picture of a school bus, slumped over in exhaustion in a stand of trees.  Even good ol’, cheery orange buses get old, tired of hearing screaming children day in and day out, and just want to hide out and rest after their long days of human use.

Today, again, I hodge-podged mannequins, which I have been doing for the past week and a half now. Though, unlike all the other times where nothing much else was going on in the studio other than work, my other supervisor, Leonard, who was the one that granted me this internship to begin with, gave a presentation about his work experience at Volcom and the company’s “image” to an art class from OOC. While I was in the back of the room busy finishing a mannequin, I set my iPhone on record. This is what I overheard: files.me.com/mklein7/8a7e2q.mp3

(Sorry for the low volume. I was pretty far away, and sorry it’s cut short. It was at the end of my shift, and I had to leave midway through the presentation.)
