<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://rudegirls.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sn.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1350" title="sn" src="http://rudegirls.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sn.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="588" /></a></p>
<p>Der kommer ofte sælgere i butikkerne der ønsker at vi skal købe et nyt mærke eller varer fra dem. Det er forskelligt hvor godt jeg mener at produkterne passer i vores butikker.</p>
<p>Forleden var der en svensk smykke designer inde for at sælge hendes smykker <em>Sägen smykker</em>. Pigerne i butikken var begejstret for dem og ville ha at jeg skulle kigge på dem. Nu tænkte jeg at jeg ville vise dem til jer&#8230; -hva siger i?</p>
<p>Jeg har umiddelbart sagt nej tak til at købe dem hjem, fordi jeg syntes at de er for dyre. Tror armbåndet skulle koste ca. 300 -eller var det 400?,-  og en ring ca. 200,-.</p>

<p>What&#8217;s that black thing clinging to Blair&#8217;s legs? Oh no, no no no.. another Blair-fashion faux pas. I&#8217;ll just assume all her tasteful skirts and dresses are stuck in the dry-cleaning.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://thehappysnapper.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dad.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;margin:0 20px 3px 0;" title="Dad" border="0" alt="Dad" align="left" src="http://thehappysnapper.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/dad_thumb.jpg?w=197&#038;h=244" width="197" height="244" /></a> When my father passed away (many years ago) I got to choose one of his rings to wear, its a gold ring with three red stones set into it, not sure what they are, I wore it always for years, it felt like I still had a link to him somehow, when I looked at it I was reminded of him and sometimes I would twiddle it while thinking or day dreaming. But then a couple of years ago I had to stop wearing it, it started to irritate my finger, not an itch or anything like that, it was more like something sharp was sticking in my finger but there didn’t seem to be any sharpness anywhere. Anyway last night I re-discovered it in a box in one of my drawers, I was looking for something else and there it was, I thought I’d put it on for a while and lo and behold, no longer a problem, no irritation, I’ve had it on all day today and it seems fine, hopefully I can once more wear my dads ring and feel that link and twiddle in an absent minded manner, the photo above is of my dad.</p>
<p>Anyway, I went back to work yesterday following my short spell off with a cold and sinus infection, I was quite happy to be back and it wasn’t a bad first day, I did get a bit tired toward the end of the shift though and today was pretty much the same, a decent day but I got real tired toward the end, just glad to be home relaxing.</p>

• Marvin Sapp &#8211; &#8220;Praise Him in Advance&#8221;<br />
• MARY MARY &#8211; &#8220;God In Me&#8221; (As the biggest crossover they&#8217;ll win hands down&#8230;and I happen to think it&#8217;s a great song anyway with a greater message)<br />

• MARIO featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett &#8211; &#8220;Break up&#8221; (I choose this song although it may be too street for some tastes&#8230;but the combination of flows made for an engaging journey into downtempo Rhythm &#38; Beats aka R&#38;B)<br />

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">RIP MJ!</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:center;">ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">• Michael Jackson</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Since there weren&#8217;t any choices, it goes to Michael. It goes to him not because he was the best this year but because he died this year, let&#8217;s keep it real. This music industry is so politically inclined they couldn&#8217;t just say we are giving MJ the accolades we haven&#8217;t given out of guilt&#8230;maybe if more of us were supportive and loving toward one of the greatest to ever do it then maybe the people closer to him would have done more to protect and take care of him.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Looking forward to seeing who actually wins! Maybe the industry can take notes from the AMAs by giving awards based on sales and not politics since sales mean PEOPLE chose the winners! *Pardon me Grammys* but the voters are not necessarily in tune with the music&#8230;I&#8217;ll get on their case in another blog coming soon!</p>

<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">&#8220;Well I am not gonna wear that platinum and diamond ring mother&#8221; retorts my youngest son.  I had mentioned over dinner that I have to consider who to leave granny&#8217;s lovely dress ring  along with other jewellery. My husband and I are updating our last will and testaments. The four of us myself, two sons and my husband have a good laugh at Tim&#8217;s feigned indignation.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">As I served a slice of this, a spoonful of that all topped with a dollop of gravy a little niggle was still there waiting to be voiced.  Besides, I needed to know .  I consider myself modern and pretty well street wise enough to deal with anything thrown in my path &#8230;. thinks I .</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">Dan takes a sip of wine and Tim is wrestling with a particularly crisp roast potato.  I treasure these get togethers when they have time to leave behind their busy city lives and travel home for a meal or a stay.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">&#8220;Are you batting for the other side ? &#8221;  I blurt trying to sound nonchalant and &#8216;with it&#8217; .   &#8221; WHAAT ? &#8221;  splutters Dan  &#8221;What&#8217;s got into you tonight mum ? &#8221;  his dibelief is strong.   &#8220;Ooh it won&#8217;t bother me if you are &#8230;. I mean .. you are my sons and I love you both no matter what !&#8221;  &#8221; But we aren&#8217;t and whatever makes you think we even could be ? &#8221;  Dan looks amazed.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">&#8221; well .. you never say much about any romances these days so I just wondered &#8230;   &#8221;  my voice trailed to an inaudible whisper.  Good Grief this wine is strong and I am beginning to feel foolish as they and hubby all laugh at my outburst.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">&#8220;Ha ha &#8230; be rest assured mum, we are both as straight as can be &#8230; no worries there. &#8221;   Laughing in unison they look at each other knowing that mum has done &#8216;barmy&#8217; once again.  It is true &#8230; sometimes I only take my foot out of my mouth to replace it with the other.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">As I declared earlier I really do love them and couldn&#8217;t bear life without either.  However, I have no daughters and although life has had many bonuses and generally been good to me,  it would have been very nice to have had a daughter too.  How nice to be able to enjoy all the girlie things like shopping, nattering, listening to each others moans about hormones and men.  Also, how easily it would resolve who to leave granny&#8217;s things to that I had inherited some years ago.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">I laugh too and smiling at the sight of their happy faces I can&#8217;t help saying with a burst of pride &#8221; Now that you are both in your thirties and with good jobs you are both wonderful catches for the right girls.  Then maybe I could have grandchildren &#8230; even a granddaughter.&#8221;</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">&#8220;No pressure then ! &#8221;  joke the lads.   &#8220;Let&#8217;s hope some girls set their caps at us as your generation would say .. ha ha ! &#8220;</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">They love to tease me about &#8216;proper&#8217; things and expressions.  I look down at the ring twinkling on my right hand radiantly sparkling back at me.  I visualise lovely,  pretty pink, frilly things,  or knitting dolly clothes.  So different from the khaki action man clothes I knitted in the seventies.</span></em></h2>
<h2><em><span style="color:#993300;">Perhaps my granddaughter is just a twinkle in my eye. Who knows ?   Certainly the only pink frilly things my sons are interested in shopping for are those that women at least 25 years my junior want to shop for .</span></em></h2>

<p style="text-align:left;">In one of her latest hits Beyoncé sings about the single ladies and a certain kind of ring. The story of the film &#8216;Szinglik Éjszakája&#8217; (&#8220;Single Ladies&#8217; Night&#8221;) of director Tamás Sas is based on the mysterious disappearing of that certain engagement ring. In a girl&#8217;s life two things should look perfect: the engagement ring and high-heels (we never forget the fear of Carrie Bradshaw before she got her beautiful diamond ring). And yes, you are right! There&#8217;s only one reason I write about a hungarian film on my english blog: is that the girls in the film are wearing my shoes and bags. The main character Gabriella Hámori (in the blue dress) is one of the leading hungarian actresses and I&#8217;m happy that she&#8217;s wearing my lovely black <em>&#8216;Tepan&#8217;</em> stiletto of the fall collection.<a href="http://rekavago.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/szinglikejszakaja_01b.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-126" title="Single Ladies werk" src="http://rekavago.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/szinglikejszakaja_01b.jpg" alt="Gabriella Hámori on set in my high-heels" width="500" height="450" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align:left;">The premier will be in 2010 february and I&#8217;ll be there &#38; also my high-heels.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>She raised eyebrows when she appeared on X Factor without her wedding ring a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>But the nation&#8217;s sweetheart Cheryl Cole and husband Ashley have been putting on a united front to play down reports of marriage trouble.</p>
<p>The couple, who wed three years ago, looked happier than ever as they attended the birthday party of Cheryl&#8217;s bandmates Sarah Harding and Kimberly Walsh on Saturday.</p>
<p>Hot on the heels of her X Factor appearance, Cheryl looked stunning in a neon pink scultped dress as she and her footballer beau arrived hand-in-hand.</p>
<p>The pair were later spotted in an intimate embrace on their way home.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the second time in a week 26-year-old Cheryl has quashed reports of marital problems.</p>
<p>On Friday she posted a picture of herself with her ring in front of her face and the line “3 words. Diamonds Are Forever” on Twitter.</p>

<p>What I am trying to show you how I use photoshop to enhance the image. I think the image that comes out from the camera is already okay to use but if i can make it look even better, why not. Lightroom can be use to enhance up to a point but to complete the transformation, photoshop is needed. When view the image below, please look at them slowly, think to yourself it was you, will u be happy with the image and leave it as that.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The stories of Raven stealing the light or Raven prying open a shell that contains the first people ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The stories of Raven stealing the light or Raven prying open a shell that contains the first people continue to inspire great art, and have the advantage of being no single family&#8217;s property. But they are only a fraction of the stories and themes that could be told in Northwest Coast art. That is why, when I buy art, I am always interested in less often heard subjects – the change is interesting to me, and, I hope, a change of pace for the artists as well.</p>
<p>A case in point: “Healing Ring,” the second of the rings made for us by up and coming artist Gwaai Edenshaw (the other ring was “<a href="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/">Raven and Crows</a>,” which I blogged about earlier).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how Gwaai Edenshaw himself describes the ring. He was talking with us as he wrote and using a soft pencil, so I have had to guess here and there as I transcribed:</p>
<blockquote><p>
[The] centre of the ring is Fungus Man, made famous in the story of Raven and the First People. The only [one] of Raven&#8217;s helpers that was strong enough to face the feminine energy/sprit, and bring it to humanity. This character was likely <em>Fomitopsis Officinalis</em>. This is a shelf fungus that is analogous to a Chinese medicine (in fact on of Chinese Medicine&#8217;s most prized medicines. It was almost definitely used by Haida shamans. Samples of it have been found among shaman&#8217;s effects (this was thought to be wooden carvings until a recent test of the wood revealed it to be Fornitopsis. Fungus Man appears out of a brush of K&#8217;waay K&#8217;ia (Indian Hellebore), a very important medicine to us. Like many medicines it has potential for toxicity, but in the hands of the right practitioner it is a true marvel.
</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trish-ring4.png"><img src="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trish-ring4.png" alt="" title="trish-ring4" width="270" height="167" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1092" /></a></p>
<p>Also called <em>Laricifomes officinalis</em>, the fungus is almost extinct in Europe, but is found in old growth forests in the Pacific Northwest. In various locales, it has been used to treat tuberculosis,     pneumonia, asthama, rheumatoid arthritis, infection, and smallpox, and to ensure long life.</p>
<p>I believe that the appearance of the fungus on the ring is one of the first instances in which Edenshaw has combined his interests in Haida botany and art. In fact, aside from what appears to be tobacco leaves and European-influenced floral designs in some argillite work, flora of any sort is rare in Haida art, although some mainland nations have floral crests, such as the Gitksan Fireweed clan.</p>
<p>Edenshaw continues:</p>
<blockquote><p>
On the reverse side is a pair of herons. These are the helper in a number of stories, notably the Gunarsiargit story where they play a small but critical role in the story&#8217;s namesake fulfilling his destiny.
</p></blockquote>
<p>More specifically, a heron often dwells on the edge of the village, some distance away from the inhabited houses. This locale reflects the heron&#8217;s often lone habits, but might also suggest a shaman, since shamans often lived and certainly were buried separately from everyone else.</p>
<p><a href="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trish-ring1.png"><img src="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trish-ring1.png" alt="" title="trish-ring1" width="296" height="193" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1093" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trish-ring8.png"><img src="http://brucebyfield.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/trish-ring8.png" alt="" title="trish-ring8" width="361" height="213" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1094" /></a></p>
<p>For me, these are the kind of details that, when combined with artistic skill, can make Northwest Coast art so satisfying to me. They offer not only aesthetic pleasure, but, for a European ethnic like me a small window into the cultures that produce them. And Edenshaw, besides being a gold smith with a genuine feel for the metal, is also clearly someone deeply knowledgable about his culture as well.</p>

The ad featured samples of their jewelry line which includes customized pieces that can be engraved with the names or initials of your child(ren). The pieces were so cute that I decided to visit the website. I&#8217;m always looking for unique gifts to give friends. The first sentence in the &#8220;About Us&#8221; section immediately grabbed my attention. It said, <em>&#8220;</em><strong><em>Never underestimate the determination of a mother.</em></strong><em>&#8220;</em> After reading their story of perseverance I instantly became a fan. Nelle and Lizzy wanted to create a jewelry line that was &#8220;understated yet meaningful&#8221;. These moms set out on a journey and accomplished their goal, despite the challenges, hard work, and length of time. Love that!</p>
<p>I encourage you to visit their website and buy something! Nelle &#38; Lizzy jewelry pieces would make great gifts for the moms in your life this holiday season. They would also be great for sisters, best friends, and favorite cousins. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thanks Nelle &#38; Lizzy for representing mothers well! Visit website: www.nelleandlizzy.com</p>
