All living things require energy in order to survive and carry out their life processes, such as growth, reproduction and for their metabolism. For example, when thinking about our Ocean Tracks species, a large amount of energy is required to migrate the thousands of miles they may travel.
This energy comes from the organism's ecosystem and in many cases from the food that organism eats. But where did the energy in those food sources come from?
For much of the life on Earth, the primary source of energy is from the sun. Through photosynthesis, plants are able to capture energy from sunlight and use that energy to power reactions that transform carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugar molecules. This process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and provides the oxygen that we breathe.
Life is possible, however, even in the absence of sunlight. For example, microbes living in hydrothermal vent communities are able to use inorganic chemical compounds through a process known as chemosynthesis to create energy. These chemosynthetic microbes are the foundation of the food web in hydrothermal vent communities. Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis make it possible for life to exist on Earth!
Organisms that are able to capture energy either from sunlight or chemicals and convert it into a form that other organisms can use are called autotrophs.
Autotrophs are also known as primary producers, and are are a highly important food source for other organisms. On land, primary producers are mostly plants such as grass in trees. In the ocean, 95% of the primary production is done by microscopic phytoplankton. Phytoplankton contribute 50% of the oxygen in our atmosphere. Some phytoplankton are bacteria and others are protists. Two important types of phytoplankton that are diatoms and dinoflagellates.
In coastal regions of the ocean, algae, such as kelps and rockweeds, and plants, such as sea grasses, are important primary producers.
For organisms that cannot make their own food, they must ingest other organisms to fulfill their energy requirements. These organisms are called heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are also called consumers because they must consume other organisms for energy and nutrients.
There are herbivores that feed on plant material. In the ocean, an example of an herbivore would be a periwinkle grazing on some algae.
There are carnivores that kill and eat other animals. In the ocean, of course one of the greatest carnivores is the great white shark.
There are scavengers and detritivores that feed on dead plants and animals, such as a hagfish feeding on a dead whale in the deep ocean.
Omnivores feed on both plants and animals. The hawksbill sea turtle is an omnivore, feeding on sea urchins, mollusks, crustaceans and algae.
Decomposers are bacteria that chemically break down organic matter.
A food chain is a set of linkages that show who eats who in an ecosystem and the transfer of energy that takes place.
Food chains start with a primary producer. Energy is then transferred to a primary consumer, then secondary, tertiary, and quaternary consumers in sequence.
The primary consumer is an organism that eats a primary producer, which can include a zooplankton or snail in the ocean.
The secondary consumer is an organism that eats a primary consumer, and includes fish species that feed on the zooplankton.
Tertiary consumers feed on secondary consumers, and quaternary consumers feed on tertiary consumers. These groups include higher level predators such as sharks.
In reality most ecosystems are more complicated than a simple chain of feeding interactions. Many species consume more than one type of species, creating a complex web of interactions known as a food web.
In the visual below, you can see an example of a food web in the open ocean ecosystem and also one food chain that is a part of that food web. You may notice, however, that even the picture of the food web is incomplete since only a small number of ocean species are represented.
Each step of the food web or chain is called a trophic level. Primary producers are always the first trophic level and are represented at the bottom of an ecological pyramid. The diagram below shows an example of an ecological pyramid for the ocean.
These pyramids can also show how much energy is available at each trophic level of a food web. The average amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next is 10%. For example, 10% of the solar energy that is captured by phytoplankton gets passed on to zooplankton (primary consumers). Ten percent of that energy (10% of 10%, which is 1%) gets passed on to the organisms (secondary consumers) that eat the zooplankton.
With more trophic levels that exist between the primary producer and a consumer, the smaller the amount of energy that gets passed on to the consumer. The shape of the pyramid reflects the idea that they amount of energy gets smaller as you move up the food chain. The visual below shows how little energy gets passed along as you get higher in the food chain.


Biomass Briquetting is the process of converting low bulk density biomass into high density and energy concentrated fuel briquettes. Biomass Briquetting plant are of various sizes which converts biomass into solid fuels. Briquettes are ready substitute of Coal/wood in industrial boiler and brick kiln for thermal application. Biomass briquettes are Non conventional Source of energy, Renewable in nature, Eco friendly, non polluting and economical. Process of converting biomass to solid fuel is also non-polluting.
Having a point of view to provide helpful solutions to improve requirement for regular energy sources, these types of organizations are Biomass Briquetting machines manufacturers or supplier, Biomass Briquetting machines exporters, as well as importer of Biomass Briquetting factories and Biomass Briquetting machines. These products are usually commonly used from the farming field and help with conserving the character Mother Land to a great scope.

F1 hybrid of cultivated apple (Malus 3 domestica) and European pear (Pyrus communis) with fertile F2 offspring
The establishment of intergeneric hybrids for horticultural and agricultural crops is still a demanding task for breeding programmes. The aim of such approaches is to introduce new quality and resistance traits and to enlarge the gene pool. Recently, an F1 hybrid between Malus × domestica and Pyrus communis became available which arose from a breeding approach undertaken in the late 1980s by the breeder Max Zwintzscher (Cologne-Vogelsang). Unlike previous reports, viable and fertile F2 plants were obtained from this F1 hybrid line by author HS, providing a unique perspective not only for genomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic studies but also for advanced breeding strategies. Here, we give the first report on the confirmation and characterization of the F1 hybrid by phenotypic, genetic and biochemical means. The intergeneric hybrid shows an intermediary phenotype of leaves, flowers and fruits, and some disorder of secondary shoot growth. Nuclear DNA content is also intermediary and corresponds to a diploid state. Apple and pear type rDNA as well as SI alleles from each genus were found. At the metabolic level, parallel biosynthesis of the apple dihydrochalcone phloridzin and of arbutin, a p-hydroquinone-glucoside typical for pear, take place leading to considerable concentrations of both in leaves. The overall data allow secure confirmation of the hybrid character and give a first insight into the hybrids genetics and physiology

According to a report from online news portal Siliconrepublic.com, creditors of beleaguered operator Smart Telecom have banded together to ensure they receive the EUR40 million worth of debt owed to them. Smart confirmed it had run out of cash last month and soon after eircom switched off its 40,000 or so customers after Smart failed to pay a EUR4 million bill it owed the incumbent. Smart subsequently agreed to offload all of its business assets and liabilities to BidCo, a private company controlled by its major shareholder Brendan Murtagh, for EUR1 together with shares representing 10% of BidCo. The Murtagh-backed company agreed to assume Smart's estimated liabilities of nearly EUR40 million and provide extra working capital, and announced its intention to de-list the company from London's AIM Market.
The Smart Creditors Action Group has been formed to protect the rights of investors and provide an environment in which the directors and shadow directors of Smart can 'deal responsibly with unsecured creditors to ensure that all debts are paid in full in the shortest possible timeframe', the online journal said.


Your 8-day China small group tour starts the moment you land at Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK). You will meet our professional guide outside the customs and then be transferred to the hotel by a comfortable drive. Take the rest of the day to recover from the jet lag.
After breakfast, our guide and driver will come and meet you at the hotel lobby and take you to Tiananmen Square. It is the world's largest urban square in the heart of Beijing and has witnessed important ceremonies and assemblies. Then, you will walk through the Tiananmen Tower with the company of our guide to visit the Forbidden City, which was the royal palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 - 1911).
At noon, an a la carte welcome lunch (valued at CNY150.00 per person and included in our price) will be arranged at an elegant restaurant, where you will also taste the authentic Peking Roast Duck.
After a short break, you will be escorted to the Temple of Heaven, where emperors held national sacrificial rituals and prayed for good harvest in the old times. If you are a big fan of Chinese Kung Fu, a lively Kung Fu Show at the Red Theater will offer you a chance to appreciate this martial art up close.
This morning, we will arrange a visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall, and the round-trip cable car is included. Connecting Juyongguan Pass in the west and Gubeikou Great Wall in the east, Mutianyu has been regarded as an important military area in Beijing since ancient times. Afterwards, to celebrate the conquest of the Great Wall, we will specially provide red wine for a group-toasting.
Lunch will not be arranged by us as restaurants near the Great Wall are not up to our service standard. You may have a big breakfast before setting off and have some fast food around the scenic area. Our guide will offer you more advice.
On the way back to the downtown area, we will stop and leave you some time to take photos of the Olympic National Stadium, also nicknamed as the Bird's Nest because of its unique appearance. Afterwards, take your time to explore a featured local market and get relaxed.
Having had a challenging trip yesterday, this morning we will arrange a leisure visit to the Summer Palace, which used to be the royal resort during the Qing Dynasty. Here you can admire richly ornamented halls and temples, the tranquil Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill. Then a Hutong exploration by rickshaw will round off your Beijing tour. You can have a glimpse of authentic traditional Beijingers' life while shuttling among Hutong alleys and grey brick courtyards. Furthermore, a special Chinese Paper Cutting experience is also in the schedule.
At noon, we will provide an a la carte lunch (valued at CNY150.00 per person and included in our price) at a fancy restaurant.
After that, you will be escorted to the airport for your onward flight to Xi'an. Upon arrival, our local guide will pick you up at the airport and accompany you to the hotel for check-in.
Your memorable Xi'an tour starts today. After breakfast, our guide and driver will pick you up and transfer you to the Terracotta Army. It is the funerary object of Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 - 210 BC) with over 8,000 pottery soldiers and chariots in battle array to protect this great ruler in his afterlife.
After that, we will have an a la carte lunch at a local family (valued at CNY120.00 per person and included in our price). You can even follow suit with the hospitable host to cook home-made food if interested.
After lunch, our guide will take you to Jianfu Temple to visit the Small Wild Goose Pagoda and Xi'an Museum inside. The Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show will highlight this evening and you will be served a traditional Dumpling Dinner at the same time.
In the morning, you will be taking a short ride to the City Wall Park. While strolling in the park, you will see a great many of local people are doing their morning exercises. It is the best place for you to get to know more about the local life and feel the culture differences between east and west. You will also experience a Tai Chi practice with the master whom we specially invite. Then under our guide's company, you will ascend the City Wall, which has guarded the old city of Xi'an for over 600 years. If you are interested, you can go cycling on the wall. The bike rental fare is your responsibility.
After an a la carte lunch (valued at CNY120.00 per person and included in our price) at a well-known restaurant, our guide will transfer you to the airport for your flight to Shanghai and help you with the boarding procedure.
Upon landing, you will meet our local guide at the airport exit and be escorted to the hotel by a comfortable drive.
After breakfast, our guide will pick you up at the hotel and take you to the first destination, Shanghai Museum. The museum collects over 120,000 precious items of different dynasties, among which bronze wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 - 771 BC) as well as paintings and calligraphy works of the Tang Dynasty are the most worth seeing.
You will then be transferred to Yu Garden. Although not very large in scale, it resembles an elaborate bonsai with pavilions, bridges, pools, and rockeries inside setting off by verdant plants. Our guide will leave you some time to hang out at the traditional bazaar nearby.
At noon, an a la carte farewell lunch (valued at CNY120.00 per person and included in our price) will be arranged at a popular local restaurant. After lunch, we will drive to the Former French Concession to appreciate the exquisite western-style garden houses and know about the histories and stories there. Our next destination is the Bund area, where you will take a one-hour cruise tour along the Huangpu River. You will also have time on the Bund to look at the miniature of Shanghai back in the 19th century.
Our guide will accompany you back to the hotel at the end of the day and say bon voyage.
This one-week China small group tour will come to an end today. Take your entire belongings to check out the hotel and get to the airport for your homeward flight by yourself. In order to save your time, we kindly suggest you take a taxi to the airport. It is around CNY150 per cab to Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) and CNY 200 to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA). Please make sure you go to the right airport. We wish you a nice journey home!
If you wish to extend your tour from Shanghai to other neighboring cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huangshan and others, please feel free to contact our travel consultant. We will be happy to arrange it for you!
Prices are per person in US Dollars.
I enjoyed every minute of my tour. I would highly recommend it to others. The price was reasonable and I saw many things. The guides were very knowledgeable.
We have some great moments with our guides. I am happy to reassure people that TCG provided an outstanding service. This is absolutely a great way to experience China.
Thank you for making China possible! This vacation has opened up a whole new part of the world to us. The quality of our experience was exceptional, and I can't imagine having done so much and learned so much without our guides. I feel that I have finally begun to feel connected to this very important part of the world!
Thanks for the good service we had. All the meals we're were good. All of them could be recommended. The only negative point is sometimes, we ate at 1h30 pm and supper time was at 5h00pm because we had a show to attend. If was to close together. All the guides were nice people. A special thanks to our guide in Xi'an. She was outstanding! Cars were always clean and good service. A special thanks to our driver in Beijing and Xian.
Haven't even left home yet! Selina has been prompt, informative answering my multiple questions as well as accommodating to my requests. My husband and I sincerely hope we can meet Selina in person when we arrive in China.
I want to thank the agency very much for all the arrangements they made for our travel in China - my wife and I had a wonderful time, and I'm sure that we'll come back to China within a few years. The itinerary was wonderful, and most of the guides were excellent on our trip; some guides were much better than others, but all were acceptable and it was interesting to see the variation among the city guides.
Wendy, our tourist consultant, is very friendly and helpful so far.Me and my husband are very satisfied with her. She is here for us whatever we need. Very kind person, with huge knoweldge of the trip.
I would like to appreciate the company for their hard work in producing an excellent experience for us. It was the opinion of all of our group that they exceeded our expectations for our first visit to China which we all universally enjoyed. The mixture of different nationalities worked very well and it was a help that everyone spoke English in the group.
There was so many wonderful sites to see that it would have been nice to spend more time at the majority of them. However this is not possible, but to give you an idea of which spots might be omitted from the itinerary: personally I would be happy to drop the CPC First Congress Site from the agenda (but ONLY because it was slightly less interesting than the others, and NOT because it was disappointing).
In general the meals were good or very good. It is so difficult to remember the really good ones, especially as I enjoyed so many of them. My one strong suggestion would be to see if it was possible to have LESS food during the lunchtimes as very often we felt that there was too much food provided during the middle of the day. We enjoyed the rest that the lunch break provided, but less food would not have been a problem.
Our Xi An guide definitely had the most strongly accented way of speaking English. She was extremely knowledgeable about all the tour spots and gave us lots of information. Because she tended to speak quickly and with a very strong accent, it was sometimes difficult to understand her. Also she tended to speak for 5-10 minutes at once delivering lots of information, but too much, it would be better if she delivered her extensive knowledge in smaller pieces of 3-5 minutes each - this was done by David who had a wonderful way of delivering information, even though his English was good, but not as good as Rai, our guide in Shanghai.

Creating magic illusions is an increadibly satisfying aspect of magic that many magicians overlook. It leaves you with a unique trick that the audience will hopefully remember you by. However, there are many reasons why most magicians use off-the-shelf tricks. This article will explain some of the reasons for and against making illusions, and give some guidance.
Creating a illusion will guarantee that nobody can say "I've seen that before". Creating stage illusions is the most satisfying as it will look unique, feel unique and perform uniquely, however, they take the most work as they are typically physically large. Creating card effects (or similar) can be done anywhere with nothing but imagination.
If you are creating a stage illusion, you can easily incorporate your branding, whether that's the colours from your website and flyers, or simply your stage name, photo or contact details designed on it, it will be positive advertising – especially if you allow photos in your performances. This can be applied in a similar way to close-up effects – why not print your own logo onto the gimmick.
In the unlikely event that you can't find any off-the-shelf tricks that'll be the perfect climax to your routine, then you will often find that with a little thought, you can create the perfect illusion.
Creating illusions is not easy, especially if it means constructing gimmicks. It is essential to check, check and check again that everything works smoothly as expected. A guillotine with a special mechanism that may rust unnoticed over time could even be lethal. Think of the worse possible scenario while designing the illusion to ensure that nothing dangerous, in this case, can happen. Typically the worst that can happen is you make a fool out of yourself, but with stage illusions, you can trap unwilling guests in your contraptions or even just give them a splinter! Either way you could find yourself at the wrong end of a legal case with nobody to blame but yourself.
Before you start creating the illusion, make sure you are really the inventor of it, especially if you are hoping to sell it in the future. Depending on how much you value your time, it may be cheaper to buy an illusion that will be guaranteed to work (hopefully) without errors.
Transportation – can you transport the illusion – does it need a van or a pocket?
To conclude, inventing magic is a satisfying way to expand your routine, but beware of the pitfalls that you may fall into. Sometimes using ready-made effects will do the job perfectly in a tried and tested manner!

The Villa Riviera was constructed in 1929 as a luxury residential cooperative. At the time, it was the second-tallest building in Southern California after the Los Angeles City Hall. Construction costs exceeded two million dollars. Late Architect Richard D. King won the grand prize at an international contest for the design of the sixteen-story building. Its architectural design style, as described in its original brochure, stated "it will savor of the majestic Tudor Gothic, but with a marked feeling of French and Italian Renaissance, all blended into a composite grace of line that will overshadow any single decorative detail." Ever since its construction, Chateauesque Villa Riviera has been an iconic landmark of the Long Beach oceanfront.
The building underwent restoration in the 2000s. Spectra Company completed a wide scope of restoration services for this job including a complete re-creation of the ornate original bronze doors that were lost during the World War II era. Spectra re-created the decorative doors from historic photographs. In addition, many of the grotesques that adorned the top of the building were re-created from molds made from extant figures. The building is a Long Beach Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Children and Social Work Bill was introduced into the House of Lords in late November. If it comes into force, it could mean that Court Orders relating to Child Protection could become unenforceable.
The Children and Social Work Bill enables Local Authorities to request an exemption from Child Protection Laws so that the Local Authority can test different ways of working. The exemption could last up to 3 years and be extended by a further 3 years.
If the Bill were to come into force, Local Authorities could apply for an exemption from Court Orders relating to children in foster placements or care homes. This would leave the Court Orders unenforceable and children without legal protection.
The Children and Social Work Bill is due to be introduced into the House of Commons this week and debated further.

We are in Kalgoorlie where gold is still being mined on a grand scale. Paddy Hannan and two of his mates, who are less feted, discovered gold here in June 1893. In the 1890's provisions were in short supply, prostitution was rife (many of the women from China & Japan), and housing was a 6×8 hessian tent erected with forked sticks, an oat bag for a mattress and billy cans and kerosene tins to cook with. It must have been a wild, old town. The engineer, CY O'Connor, developed a project to pump water the 600 km from Mundaring Resevoir, in the Perth hills, to Kalgoorlie and the first of the eight pumping stations was officially started, with great pomp and ceremony, in 1903. This, of course, changed everything, and it is extraordinary to see the pipeline today, often following the road, as you travel between Perth and Kalgoorlie. Some of the original pipes are still in use although the pumping stations have been replaced.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder has some lovely, old buildings and we have visited a couple of museums and the Arboretum and the Karlkurla Bushland Park. We also had lunch at the historic Ora Banda pub, which has a colourful history involving arson, bombings, murder and The Gypsy Jokers. The food wasn't great! but it is a lovely, little outback pub with a very pleasant beer garden.
We have travelled 12,200 kms in 11 1/2 weeks and tomorrow we head for the Nullabor. It will take us two days to cross, and we will free camp so, probably, no internet/phone access. Home in two weeks.

Jurien Bay to Kellerberrin
This is is the extraordinary Eucalyptus Macrocarpa which, as you can see, we are very taken with! There were just a few trees in flower on the side of the road as we travelled from Jurien Bay to Kellerberrin. Geoff went clambering around in the bush and collected a bush tick for his pains.
Flowers in Lesueur National Park
We were surprised to find so many flowers still blooming in this park.
The Pinnacles Desert, Nambung National Park
These photos were all taken in an extraordinary area of Nambung National Park – The Pinnacles Desert. Thousands of limestone pillars, which range in size up to 5m tall and 2m thick at the base, rise up out of the sand and heath. They were formed thousands of years ago when ancient plant roots formed a weak cementation of calcite within the dunes and have been exposed by wind and shifting sands. It is difficult to convey how dramatic and unexpected this spectacle is. The stone pillars resemble a stone army on the march – rather like a scene from Lord of The Rings! They are beautiful and eerie at the same time.
Beautiful Kalbarri
A lovely afternoon in the Kalbarri National Park East of Kalbarri. These are the inland gorges on the Murchison River with rock formations as old as 400 million years. The Murchison River starts its journey in the ancient range lands near Meekathara before feeding into the Indian Ocean at Kalbarri.
The Z-Bend Lookout gives views of the 150m plunge to the river below and highlights the red river gums against the striking colours of the Tumblagooda sandstone. Nature's Window is a rock arch which frames the section of the river called The Loop. We didn't leave the area until after five so had the opportunity to greet a couple of kangaroos on the road on the way back. Like all of their brethren, they have suicidal tendencies.

Wage inequality has been increasing in most industrialized countries over the last three decades. There are, nonetheless, major differences across countries in terms of the timing and magnitude of the growth in inequality. A large number of explanations have been suggested for these observed changes, including technological progress and the computer revolution, labour market institutions and social norms, and changes in the relative supply of highly educated workers. This paper assesses the validity of these explanations in light of the large differences in inequality growth across countries, and the stunning growth in the concentration of income at the top end of the distribution.
Professor Thomas Lemieux has held positions at MIT and the Université de Montréal prior to joining the faculty at UBC in 1999 where he is a Professor of Economics and a Distinguished University Scholar.

Sunday duck hunt on Kaw Lake fatal
Mike ErwinJournal-Capital
Emergency crews resumed their search Tuesday for an Arkansas man who has been missing since his boat capsized Sunday on Kaw Lake.
The body of the man's duck-hunting companion was recovered from the lake's icy waters early Monday. Authorities identified the deceased as 22-year-old Chase R. Morland of Van Buren, Ark.
Kay County officials contacted the Oklahoma Highway Patrol around 9 p.m. Sunday upon learning that the two men were believed to be missing. The boat was found shortly after midnight, but searchers had not been able to locate the hunters before suspending their efforts at about 2 a.m. Morland's body was discovered when the search continued at 6:30 a.m.
OHP Troopers said personal flotation devices were not being used by the hunters. Late in the afternoon, fading light and the weather caused suspension of attempts to find the second man — Craig M. Strickland, 29, of Springdale, Ark.
According to postings on social media, Strickland is the lead singer of Backroad Anthem, a well-established area band that has opened for several major headliners. The group had been scheduled for a Monday performance in Oklahoma City.

People [just now] planted their melon patches, they planted everything.
But I can't. I don't even have a single watermelon.
I dug it out, with my tiny little shovel.
Two or three times I went, oho! [I dug] a melon patch as big [as I needed].


CONTEST - How are we doing?
Picture Story Time! Open Late TONIGHT!
FASHION and the CITY - Oh What a Night!
It's Here! Fashion and the City!
It is incredible out there! A perfect day to be enjoying what autumn has to offer! Here's a picture of the kids last Sunday helping me pick out pumpkins for my fall display! No jackets required today...so get out there!!
I have heard that rain is in our forecast for tomorrow so while you are on your way to pick apples or do the Corn Maze, don't forget to pop in to grab some goodies to keep you busy inside tomorrow! I have already been told we are Smashing again THIS Sunday. That's three in a row and I couldn't be happier or thankful!!
Enjoy it! Don't waste it!
So I absolutely LOVE decorating for fall! I spent the entire day Sunday running around to the various produce stands and DeGoey's to grab items to decorate my front door and other areas around the house. Here is a picture of my front door. I love the look of decorating with an eclectic mix of gourds, pumpkins and squash.
I have never decorated near my garage/front walk but I am very happy with the look of this display. Nice and showy from the road.
So all this decorating around the house has me inspired. Last night I began to "play". Decorating gourds and small pumpkins with glitter is not a new idea. I know we have all seen in it various magazines, etc. I had never tried it so I thought "what the heck?"
My first attempt was the pumpkin on the left. I took Perfect Paper Adhesive (only THE most amazing paste glue perfect for collage, mixed media, etc.) and basically coated the pumpkin and then dusted Glitter Ritz all over to cover the pumpkin. I like the look but almost feel like it is too "pretty" maybe even too "Christmas-y" (if that is possible). It was almost lacking in colour. I am also a very impatient crafter and did not take the time to coat the top portion and then allow dry time before doing the bottom. It is a little rough but hey....it was my first attempt!
I do like the little craft paper flower on top though! This was made using the "Blossoms Die" from Spellbinders! Yes, the same dies I used for the Fashion and the City craft!
My third attempt was the pumpkin on the right with the little white flower and bakers twine. This pumpkin was decorated using the same glitter ritz/PPA paste and then I sprinkled some of Tim Holtz's Distress Glitter on the top (green chunkier glitter). This little guy is SO adorable! The die used here is from MFT. It was the perfect size for this guy!
So see....product at The Pickle is NOT just limited to scrapbooking and card making! Use the products you have to add a little charm to your home! Can you not see these as little place card holders at your Thanksgiving table or as a centerpiece?!?
Want to see these beauties in person? Stop by the store! Open today until 8pm! Fourth Street Market is on TODAY from 4-8pm!
PS...Keep those suggestions coming! Contest is closing on September 30th! Over $150 in prizes are up for grabs!
To those of you who came out and shopped The Fourth Street Market...thank you! You may not realize that by supporting a local artisan, farmer or entrepreneur, you are encouraging their efforts and thus helping our community! Why not come out tomorrow (Wednesday) for THE LAST market night of the year?!? Stop in anytime between 4-8pm.
New Product - Memory Box & Couture Creations!
It is unbelievable the number of dies in the store at this moment. There are also some fabulous embossing folders! All in preparation for THE biggest and most creative time of the year for card makers....Christmas! Have a peek at some of the latest dies from memory box NOW in store!
Trust me when I say these folders could simplify and yet step your Christmas cards up a notch! I mean aren't we all out to impress our non-crafting friends. We want them to be blown away with our latest design but at the same time I know we all have limited time and cannot spend FOREVER on the 20+ cards we need to send out! These folders emboss beautifully and come in A2 and 5x7 size! I brought in a few different designs and patterns to see what you think. So what do you think?
Tell Me What You Think - Contest Closes September 30!
Thank you SOOOO much for the great suggestions so far! I am flattered with the kind words and I am thankful for the words of advice. Keep them coming! Contest will close September 30!
Washi Tape Jenga going on at the store this morning! Over 50 different styles of washi tape are now in stock.
Have a look at how I used this coral floral washi in my smash book! So fun. So easy!
Speaking of Smash Books, I got a reminder text from my 7-year old to bring home my smash book so we can "smash" ALL day tomorrow while daddy is watching football! Ha. Well twist that rubber arm of mine! Sounds like THE perfect day to me!
Hope your weekend brings much JOY!
Whoa! Stop the train! We have been moving FULL SPEED AHEAD ordering product like crazy, bringing you THE latest and greatest that the paper crafting industry has to offer. Beautiful dies, a nice eclectic mix of embellishments, unbelievably gorgeous papers are all in stock right now.
But my question to you is "Are we bringing in THE RIGHT product?" Are we missing anything? I would love to get your feedback on product. Please comment below or send me an email to let me know your thoughts. The only way for The Pickle to be the premier paper crafting store is for customers to happy with the product and service we provide.
That leads me to my next point...."what do you think of the service you are receiving?" How are the store hours? Would you like to see us open Tuesday-Saturday again? Do you like the later hours one night a week (like we have been doing this summer on Wednesday nights)?
Are you interested in classes? What types of classes (card making, scrapbooking layouts, special projects for gifts)? Would you like to have a special guest artist teach at The Pickle? Who would you like to see here in Chatham?
We just got through a pretty big event (Fashion and the City) but are you interested in other special events including product launch parties, open houses, etc.?
Are you enjoying the Craft-Tea Time? This takes place on the SECOND SATURDAY of each month and costs $5. You stop in anytime between 10am-2pm for a 15 minute craft and you get a beverage from Dekoko's! Sounds like a great deal to me!
Do you remember back in our early years when we had those Christmas tag exchanges? This was where you would make 10-12 of the same tag and those tags would be exchanged with 10-12 other people so in the end, you will have 10-12 different Christmas tags to add to your gifts this Christmas. I loved that! Did you? I have been thinking a lot about this and am tempted to get this going again. Let me know your thoughts!
Another thing I was thinking about was having a place online where we can all post our creations! The blog is kind of a one way conversation with me posting my thoughts and designs, etc. It would be nice to see all of your work! Many of you bring in your cards, layouts and special projects for us to see. I LOVE THAT! I mean isn't that why we do this? To make others and ourselves happy. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place that the Pickle People can go to see what to do with the products that are available locally? I am just starting to look into the best avenue for this. But if you want it, I will set it up!
We value your time and appreciate any feedback we receive! This is why I will be running a little draw to go along with this post! For each comment received below or in store or for each email received (I know some of you are shy!) you will receive one ballot for a chance to win a super awesome prize!
You could win this gorgeous plaid rolling tote filled with some pretty cool paper products! The prize is valued at over $150 so tell me what you think now! The contest will be open until September 30th with the grand prize winner being announced on the blog on October 2nd! You can enter as often as you like between now and then!
One last housekeeping item....a few of you were wondering who won the $250 gift basket from Fashion and the City and how many inches of ribbon were in the jar. I can tell you that we had TWO winners who guessed the exact same amount. K. MacDonald and S. Livingstone were the big winners! They guessed 1,050 inches and I had 1,029 inches in the jar. Thanks to all who participated that night! We may have to do that again sometime!!
Thanks again for taking the time to read this and respond to my request! It really is my goal to be THE most super coolest paper crafting store in the area and maybe even the world! Ha.
I absolutely love this time of the year. The summer can be so chaotic with events planned every weekend. The routine gets thrown off with the kids being out of school. The first week of September can be insane with all the back to school preparation and activities.
But by mid September.....ahhhhh. I feel like life is easing back into the speed that I like.
Crafting - So much better when Shared with a Friend!
Those of you on Facebook would have seen this photo already, but I had to share on the blog. Sunday was spent Smashing with my favourite crafting companion! As you can see, she has discovered WASHI TAPE! Ha. So beautiful and so easy to use! I too fell in love with it this weekend. It truly made my heart smile when I added it to my smash book. Check out my pages!
This is the pink floral washi tape.

Janett Menzel About the Art of Being Alone
How to overcome loneliness and the fear of being alone +++ 70 strategies & ways to become happy alone +++
Do you constantly need people to be around you to feel fulfilled and satisfied? Do you feel empty when you have no one who is with you? Do you look for partners and lovers to feel loved, wanted and "enough" although they later turn out to be the wrong choice? Are you constantly waiting for partners who don't love you as much as you love them, hoping that they will be ready for a committed relationship one day? Then you might attract them unconsciously because deep down you are afraid of being alone. This book is dedicated to all those who want to understand their fear of being alone and their loneliness and transform it into self-love. The author Janett Menzel takes the reader along on a journey of discovery: what type you are, where the fear and depressive emotions come from, what they want to say to you and how you can overcome them with self-recognition. However, instead of fighting it, she suggests examining it carefully, understanding the emptiness and lesson, and, finally, transforming it.With over 70 strategies and reinventions of your own character and life, the author helps the readers to expose and decouple old belief systems, recognize dependencies, and resolve blockades.

Bruce Jenner Could Reportedly Face Manslaughter Charges in Car Accident
Michelle McGahan
Michelle McGahan Published: February 18, 2015
Bruce Jenner could reportedly face manslaughter charges in the fatal car accident that he was involved in earlier this month.
As we previously reported, police have obtained crucial video evidence of the crash. Now, TMZ claims that the video -- which was caught by an MTA bus -- shows Jenner's vehicle hitting the Lexus in front of him, which then spun out onto oncoming traffic. The driver of the Lexus was killed when the vehicle was struck by an oncoming Hummer. After Jenner's car hit the Lexus, it continued on to strike the Prius in front of the Lexus.
The video also reportedly proves that the Lexus never made contact with the Prius that was in front of it. TMZ reports that since it was Jenner's car that hit the Lexus -- and not the Lexus hitting the Prius in front of it before Jenner's vehicle struck the Lexus -- it may imply that Jenner was following too close to the Lexus. The site claims that this "opens up the door" to the possibility that the reality star may face vehicular manslaughter charges.
"Accident reconstruction experts" Integral Media Works created a re-creation video of the accident, which you can see in the video below. TMZ reports that this video is not based on the actual bus footage of the accident and does not take into account any braking by Jenner or the other cars, which could also be an important factor in the case.

We see them from afar, as lone voices suddenly erupting with disruptive force, often barely audible, sometimes unintelligible, but rarely unnoticed. In some corners of the world, their acts can become dangerous; inciting violence, being put upon by the surrounding crowd; their license to interrupt has been somewhat muted by the responsive threat of retaliation, voiced in more recent days. Most of us sit back and wonder who "those" people are — such fury and passion to deliberately interject without invitation or welcome, and with the full knowledge that the subsequent events will lead to being either escorted out in less than gentle ways, or set upon in more violent fashion.
Are there causes which still exist, worth fighting for, anymore? Is it just boiled-over frustration against a political firestorm of ineptitude and economic vicissitudes which leaves the ordinary person powerless and voiceless? Or, is that interruptor a paid badger from another camp, merely acting as an apparently passionate interlocutor, but nothing more in reality than an employed spoiler to reveal the disarray of discontent allegedly felt by the greater populace?
It is a tradition of American politics, certainly, to have the presence of at least one heckler rise from the quietude of the sheep's fold; and like the wolf covered by the lamb's clothing, with barely an eye peeping through to gauge the exact timing for the sudden uproar, the impertinence of a question posed, a harassing shout and a barrage of epithets and garbled sentences drowned out by a sea of groans from around; does it all really matter?
There have always been hecklers of time and badgers of dishonor; and like the crowd which follows blindly in sequence of movements, such temporary interruption of a planned event is but merely a nuisance of life tolerated. How we treat the heckler is but a reflection of life itself. For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who have a similar interruption of "the event" of life, such as a medical condition which cuts short the Federal or Postal career, and where a responsive interlude must follow — filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, whether the Federal or Postal employee is under FERS, CSRS or CSRS Offset, is often the only choice left, and the best alternative to pursue.
Suddenly, it becomes the "quiet one" who must turn and heckle; for the Federal Disability Retirement applicant is often that part of the crowd which never made waves and rarely complained, but merely went about his or her business and accomplished quietly the "mission" of the agency or the daily repetition of work at the Postal Service. Then, suddenly, the Federal or Postal worker was "singled out" as the "troublemaker" — all because of a medical condition which the Federal or Postal worker never asked for, never wanted, and rarely complained about. But like the heckler who knows of the oncoming consequences, filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits is surely a cause worth fighting for — despite the rude exit which is certain to follow.
In modernity, the asking of the question in itself raises a suspicion. Being curious no longer kills the cat in some obscure, proverbial manner; to inquire immediately brands the individual and categorizes the questioner based upon the query of conventional consciousness. Thus is debate of any kind quelled; for, to engage in a dialectical process requires a prefatory landscape of imaginative fertility; but in an atmosphere of poison and shallow interests already consecrated, there can be no classic form of "give-and-take", of a level of intellectual inquiry required for the pursuance of excellence, improvement or uncanonized thought processes.
Can society ever escape from this cycle of self-immolation, where intellectual integrity is questioned, when speakers are shouted down at quiet lecture halls of solicitations for a teleology of thought, and at a level of purposive questioning, as in the days of yore when the pestering Socrates questioned every convention of the powerful and influential?
It will be difficult, if only because the widespread de-coupling of thought from information, separated by the force of modern technology, where deviation from identity is difficult to maintain, has made drones of us all. Fortunately, law is, and remains somewhat in a sacrosanct manner, an arena which allows the simple query to survive, if only within the compound of argumentation for a cause.
For the Federal employee and U.S. Postal worker who becomes the victim of one's own bureaucracy, where a medical condition requires an accommodation but the Federal Agency or the U.S. Postal Service is unable, or unwilling, to pursue avenues to allow for the continuation of one's chosen career, preparing an effective Federal Disability Retirement application, to be submitted to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, whether the Federal or Postal employee is under FERS, CSRS or CSRS Offset, is often the best and only alternative to pursue.
The battle of inquiry and improvement — for, if you think about it, they go hand in hand in that the only way to "improve" anything is by questioning the status quo — may have to come to an end; and as it takes effort to expend to question and contend for greater heights and levels of excellence, so the Federal or Postal employee who suffers from a medical condition, such that the medical condition no longer allows for the Federal or Postal employee to perform all of the essential elements of one's positional duties with the Federal agency or the U.S. Postal Service — the energy expended in other areas must now be preserved to attend to one's medical condition and the deteriorating health of one's body, mind and soul.

WHAT'S GOING ON With Ambitious $40M, 42-Acre 'Destination Resort' in Watauga? Plan: Break Ground in Spring for 50,000 sq ft Indoor Heated Water Park
Published: Monday, November 5, 2012 at 12:00 pm

Nov. 5, 2012. Imagine spending two days skiing, snowboarding or tubing in the chilled winter air at four of our fine winter resorts in the High Country and then settling into a heated water park that features five slides, a wave pool, a Jacuzzi and a "lazy river" that floats through a cave to a nearby a tiki bar.
Although the project hasn't yet been approved by the Watauga County Planning and Inspections Department, a 42-acre "destination resort" called Middle Fork Falls Resort plans to break ground in the spring of 2013, according to developer Steve Moberg.
To be wedged in between Tweetsie Railroad and Mystery Hill off U.S. 321 in between Boone and Blowing Rock, the ambitious $40-million project will feature:
· 50,000-square-foot year-round indoor water park;
· Hotel with 120 to 150 rooms with a conference center
· 35,000 square feet of commercial retail space
· Combination gas station with convenience store and a fast food restaurant
· 10,000-square-foot full-service restaurant
· Approximately 50 "rustic" resort rental log cabins
· Distillery and micro-brewery with music hall
· Nature trails that connect to the Middle Fork Trail
· 1,600 parking spaces
Moberg said he began pondering this project after visiting an indoor water park in Gatlinburg that felt like a tropical paradise when the temperatures were 20 degrees outside and thought, "Why not have one of these in Boone or Blowing Rock?"
When Moberg, who is the owner of Crestwood Resort and Spa and has been a building contractor for the past 30 years, came back to the High Country after his recent vacation, Tweetsie President and CEO Chris Robbins told him the 42-acre tract was on the market.
Starting in February, Moberg and Robbins spent six months in negotiations and the property finally went under contract in July.
The property currently owned by Middle Fork LLC worked with Moberg to relieve some restrictions placed on the acreage to make the current proposed project possible. They have also agreed to a cross-easement parking since most of the parking used by Tweetsie will now be on the proposed Middle Fork Falls Resort
"It's going to be a great little draw and what it will do financially for the county will be huge for everybody," Moberg said, mentioning the employment through the water park, hotel, stores and shops.

Moberg's plan is to open everything at once in the spring/summer of 2014.
"What we are [aiming for] is a destination resort. I don't want to say a little Gatlinburg or a little whatever, but truly come up here and spend a couple days and enjoy what you want to do," Moberg said, adding that, more than anything, it will help combine Mystery Hill, Middle Fork Falls and Tweetsie into a single destination.
For the water park, Moberg is working with SplashTacular, a water park design firm based out of Canada and Kansas.
The two-story indoor water park, which would feature a retractable roof to control the climate, will be in an enclosed glass sidewall and ceiling structure that is 100 feet wide by 500 feet long. The five enclosed slides – two of which are raft slides, two are body slides and one is a vortex slide – will take off on the second floor and jut out of the structure into the elements, twisting and turning, and will land on the first floor back inside of the building. The whole time, though, the bodies sliding through the tubes will stay warm.
Preliminary plans of the first floor. Slides start on the second floor. To view second floor map, look at bottom of article.
Preliminary plans for the first floor show a splash area, a basketball pool and a wave pool, which will feature a platform stage for performing acts to play in front of the wave pool. The western portion of the water park will feature an adult area that has a "lazy river" that floats into the tunnel of a mountain with a waterfall and grotto, and a Jacuzzi sits next to a tiki bar.
Preliminary plans for the second floor show an outdoor deck and an inside mini-golf course, concessions and a balcony to view what's happening on the bottom level.
The eastern portion of the water park is adjacent to the Mystery Hill property and western portion of the water park borders the proposed hotel with a conference center. Next to the hotel is the 35,000-square-foot retail commercial center. Behind the hotel sits an eight-acre wooded area that is shaped like a bowl and will feature the 40-plus "rustic" log cabins to be built by local contractors, a spa and amenities center.

Moberg envisions two entrances into Middle Fork Falls Resort, one of which is the current Tweetsie entrance, where cars will immediately take a left and drive down Middle Fork Falls Parkway. The other entrance is about 100 yards away from the Tweetsie entrance towards Blowing Rock on U.S. 321.
Upon turning into the proposed second entrance, drivers will immediately encounter the proposed fast food restaurant, gas station and convenience center on 600 feet of highway frontage property that leads to a covered bridge that leads to the parking lot of the resort.
Across from the 1,600-space parking lot and closer towards Tweetsie is the 10,000-square-foot full-service restaurant in the vein of a Red Lobster, Outback and Olive Garden.
The 42-acre resort that will feature three to four outparcels for the convenience store/gas station, fast food restaurant, hotel and possibly the commercial shopping center. Moberg said he doesn't want to be in the business of managing restaurants, hotels, gas stations and stores.
Moberg said one store in the shopping center that would be a great addition to the area would be a flyfishing shop because of the massive trout that swim in the Middle Fork River, which runs through the property. For another example, he said an ice cream and fudge shop like Kilwin's of Blowing Rock would be a perfect fit as well.
Recently, Moberg has been in discussions with a group out of Asheville to start a micro-brewery and distillery inside a music hall on the Middle Fork Falls property.
He added that he plans to advertise in Charlotte, Asheville, Greensboro and into Virginia and said that he hopes to attract people of all kinds of varying demographics – from families and single adults to small kids to college students to this the year-round resort.
"We'll be the only water park in that region," Moberg said. "The theory is to have it right here. Truly in the dead of winter, in times of the year when folks are hoping for golf season, you can have a tropical setting in here."
Before Moberg finally got the property under contract, he began preliminary discussions with Watauga County Commissioners, N.C. Department of Transportation, the Watauga County Fire Marshall Steve Sudderth, the "swamp guy" for environmental issues and other necessary officials to be involved in the project.
"I met with everybody to get due diligence out of the way, normally you do that before you [enter] into a contract, but I wasn't going to stop," Moberg said, adding that a site plan is complete, and he is waiting to tie a couple loose ends with the investment group before presenting the project to the county.
"Once that happens, this project is going to fly," Moberg said.
When asked if he had heard of the project, Watauga County Manager Deron Geouque said, "Yes." But then, he added "Is he serious?"
After stating that, "We wish him the best," Geouque directed comments to Watauga County Planning and Inspections Director Joe Furman.
On Monday, Furman said he had heard of the project but seemed skeptical. He added that he hasn't seen the site plan, which would be the first requirement to break ground.
Furman also mentioned that a few ordinances would need to be approved, such as the water shed ordinance, high-impact land ordinance, subdivision regulations and erosion control and flood plain.
Furman said it was hard to comment on this development without seeing it on paper. However, Furman, who is also the director of the Economic Development Commission, added that there is enough property for what Moberg wants to do and if the project is successful, he said the resort could be a boon to the High Country.
"The water park is intended to be an attraction, so if it's successful, it would have a positive economic impact," Furman said. "One thing I've heard said is in the summer when it's raining, it's hard to find stuff to do especially for kids, and in the winter, if the skiing is not good, the same."
Furman added, however, "If [Moberg] wants to break ground in the spring, I need to see it on paper pretty soon."

When my only remote car key broke I called my auto dealership but they gave me this ridiculous price and said it would take a few days to get it done. I didn't want to wait that long nor did I want to pay so much for a simple remote key. So I started asking around, and someone recommended In & Out Locksmith. I gave 'em a call and they said they'd be able to do it that very same day and offered me a much more reasonable price. I scheduled for a locksmith from their company to come over that same day and he did his work on the spot. I was very impressed!
I called In & Out Locksmith when I had accidentally locked my car key in the trunk. Not only was I locked out of my car, but it was also raining outside! Thankfully I was able to use the internet on my cell phone and found In & Out Locksmith. I called them and explained the situation I had gotten myself into. They were very understanding on the phone and said they would try to be there as soon as possible. Indeed, a locksmith technician was over in no time and let me back into my car a few minutes later. I definitely recommend this great service to anyone!
I am writing this as a huge thanks to In & Out Locksmith! My car keys were stolen last week at a party and I had no idea what to do. I called my friend who did a quick internet search for me and gave me In & Out Locksmith's phone number. A technician arrived to help and I was on my way in no time. Thanks!
A friend of mine used In & Out Locksmith's service one time and was very pleased, so I kept the number in my phone- even though I never thought I would use it. One day out of nowhere my key got stuck in the ignition. The technician helped me quickly, efficiently, and professionally. Saving In & Out Locksmith's phone number definitely came in handy.

Recording Artist: T San Bruno
supremepr.us/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/8-8ee0e97ced45b7bd975af29294978532/2020/11/2-Ciao-Love-T-san-bruno.jpg
I am 35 years old, and I have been playing music since I was 7 years old when my Mom made me take piano lessons. I was born in San Francisco CA, and raised in San Bruno CA. I love the Bay Area. I have been in many Pop Punk, Country, and Metal bands. My first instrument was piano, but I played guitar, bass, drums, and sang lead vocals in many failed bands. I have always loved Rap & Hip Hop since I was a kid. I grew up listening to Mac Dre, Andre Nikatina, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dog. I heard Juice WRLD in the summer of 2018 while visiting Italy, and fell in love with every Juice WRLD song. My 2 tracks were recorded in 2020 in San Mateo CA, and are heavily influenced by Juice WRLD. RIP to Juice WRLD. My music are heartbreak ballads, and I consider my songs Emo Rap. I love all music, and I don't hate on any style, or genre of music. Each song I make is like a gem to me, and I want the production, and sound to be beautiful. I don't cuss, or say bad words in any of my songs. I put a lot of time into my music. My music is also inspired by Italian Rap & Hip Hop. I have been to Italy many times, and it is a great Country to visit.
What inspired your new song?
I am heavily inspired by Italian language Rap & Hip Hop. This song is in the Italian language. The female who broke up with me, and inspired the words in this song, is Italian, and she speaks Italian. I attemped to learn to speak Italian, and in the process that female broke up with me. I wanted to do a Italian language song like the Italian artist Fred De Palma, and put my emotions in Italian. Getting dumped by a beautiful & smart female also inspired me to write this release.
Describe your writing process?
The writing process consisted of me writing the lyrics in English, and then using my phone, and dictionary to translate the words to Italian. The recording process took about four, 8 hour sessions becasue I wanted the song to be like I heard it in my head. Also, COVID-19/Coronavirus hit towards the end of the recording process, so that slowed down the finished product, but we still GOT IT DONE! It was crazy when I couldn't go into the studio in San Mateo, CA because of COVID-19.
Do you have a video?
Yes, I do plan to release a video for this song, but that will not be until mid 2021. I have an idea, and I have directed, and been in a few music videos. Looking forward to creating, and having a big release for the video.
How do you stand out as an artist?
I am just starting to dive into the Emo Rap genre. I brand myself to stand out from other artists out there by sounding depressed/emo, and I sing in my songs. I also brand myself as having an intimidating physical appearance, like you don't want to mess with me, or my girlfriends. My music brand stands out from the rest of the artists becasue I "over produce" my songs, and want them to sound beautiful to anyone's ear. I don't cuss, or say bad words in my songs. My sound, and lyrics will make anyone listening think about their lives. I don't release trash/garbage tracks that sound terrible. I know my tracks hit, and are produced, mixed, and mastered well.
Who are you listening to right now?
Juice WRLD, Post Malone, Future, smrt death, Fred De Palma, Moderup
Who are some of your influences?
Juice WRLD, Alice Cooper, Mac Dre, Fred De Palma
What gets you up in the morning?
I swear I am a Real Rstate Agent in California, and that thankfully gets me out of bed every morning. I have been an agent for 4 years, and 3 months. I also love my Family, and love spending time with them. I also enjoy taking my dog on long "beast" walks.
What's next in my world is getting back into the studio, and recording this new heartbreak ballad I have written, and ready to go. I will use SupremePR/The Supreme Team to help me get it out there. SupremePR does a great job, and I appreciate their motivation. I am just getting through this COVID-19 pandemic, and continue to create, release, and promote my Emo Rap songs.
How can fans reach you?
This is my instagram, and it will show I am a real, hard working artist.
