If you are looking for an elegant and timeless piece of jewellery, a tennis
bracelet is well worth considering.
TYPES OF TENNIS BRACELET
The top 2 most popular types of tennis bracelets are known as the ‘classic tennis bracelet’ and the ‘bangle bracelet’. The one important difference between the two is purely the fact that the tennis bracelet has been designed in a way to make it a flexible wear whereas the bangle does not have this quality.Different types of setting in a tennis bracelet.There are 2 main different types of settings used on tennis bracelets. These settings are, Prong setting , and Bezel setting:
Rub Over Setting
18kt White Gold
18kt Yellow Gold
Blue Sapphire and diamonds
WHERE DO TENNIS BRACELETS GET THEIR NAME?
This is often the first question that people have about tennis bracelets; after all, it is an unusual name.
The name for this piece of jewellery comes from an incident that involved Chris Evert, a former American tennis player. During a match at the US Open, Evert lost her designer diamond bracelet that was designed by George Bedewi.
A clasp on the bracelet had snapped, causing the bracelet to fall off. Evert asked the officials to pause the match until she found her bracelet. Ever since the incident, the diamond line bracelets have become known as tennis bracelets, and sports stars today, including Serena Williams, commonly wear them.
EASY TO WEAR AND EASY ON THE EYE
The great thing about tennis bracelets is that, not only do they look stunning, but also they are easy to wear. This is why a lot of athletes wear them.
The form of the bracelet makes it convenient for those who play sport or have an active lifestyle, as they don’t have to wear a heavy bracelet that clatters around and gets in the way.
Instead, a tennis bracelet is flexible and lightweight, which means there is less chance of it getting dinged or banged when playing a sport or carrying out day-to-day activities.


One of your most special moments can become a piece of art!
I can create one-of-a-kind portraits with your loved ones, either humans or pets, out of polymer clay, as a photo frame, for wall or desk display.
I will use your favorite pictures as guidelines to recreate the characters eyes color, clothes, hairstyle and facial features with a cute cartoonish face in my own style, but no specific body positions will be replicated.
If you’re looking for a small keepsake with your favorite person, I can create a sculptural jewelry out of polymer clay, for you to wear anytime.
I can create custom necklaces, brooches, earrings, cufflinks with the members of your family.
The process starts from your favorite picture with them. I will use this picture as a guideline to recreate their eyes color, clothes, haistyle and facial features, but no specific body positions will be replicated.
My pet sculptural jewelry offers you a unique opportunity to wear your beloved furry friend with you all the time. I create custom art that shows your favorite animal in clay, so that it can last a lifetime.
If you care about your pet, then this is the perfect way to immortalize his magnificent look and take him with you everywhere.
I first started to create my own jewelry out of polymer clay, and all my friends and co-workers encouraged me to create for them too.
I've become more aware of the limitless possibilities and techniques that I could use, and I've made lot's of experiments and items for more and more people that found me online and at local fairs.
Quit my 9 to 17 job in order to give my creativity space to manifest itself. Currently living a cheerful and simple life, enjoing the small things and my cosy workplace, where I'm creating bits of joy, with my own two hands.
Hi, there! I’m Nico, a polymer clay enthusiast, based in Bucharest - Romania.
My journey started in 2010 when I first handcrafted my own jewelry out of polymer clay. Since then, I had a lovely ride, from a passion, a hobby, to a way of happy living, only from what I can create with my own two hands. I love turning lovely photos and memories into personalized polymer clay portraits, as unique gifts for you or your dear ones. I'm having a lot of fun making every portrait, it inspires me the story behind each one, and helps me give it that special touch that makes it personal and unique.
I’m the only one who's taking care of the entire process and I’m loving it!

On Thursday, Shawn and I got to spend the day together after my PTA meetings. He took me to the Wasatch Running Center so that I could get fitted for some new running shoes. I have decided to join the Daybreak Divas in the Red Rock Relay this year! I have 6 months to train and get in shape...I can't wait! Shawn was so sweet to just buy my shoes without flinching or complaining when they told us the cost. $95 on sale for $85! Later on, Shawn said that was the most he's ever paid for a pair of shoes! Hopefully it will be worth it. It's great motivation to be on a team because you don't want to let the other members down!

The Sole F80 treadmill is one of the higher level models available and offers a wealth of functionality and user options. If you are a serious keep fit enthusiast, or if you have the budget and just want to get a very good quality treadmill to train on, then the F80 is really an excellent choice for you. With a 3 horsepower continuous motor, you have a lot of power below your feet and this range of speed and workout programs will give you a massive amount of training options.
It is not just the robust build and that quality components used to make the Sole F80 that makes this such a popular treadmill. It also has so many smaller details on the machine that really makes it so much better than many of its competitors, and you don’t really notice these until you start using it day after day. Things like the innovative cushion flex whisper deck that gives you a very comfortable workout platform, while keeping the noise down to an absolute minimum too.
You can get 48% off the price of the Sole F80 today – Click here to find out more
Specifications for the Sole F80 treadmill
The control panel on the Sole F80 has been really well thought out. The buttons are at the bottom of the panel, making them all easier to reach while you are working out. The 7.5 inch LCD screen is very clear and easy to read. It displays all of your time, distance, calories burned and speed, and will also keep track of your heart rate too.
Everything is laid out so that you don’t have to go looking for things when you need to adjust any settings during your workout. After using it once you will be very familiar with where everything is and it is easy for anyone to operate.
When you pay a lot of money for a treadmill, then you want it to be comfortable when you are running on it. This is just one area where the Sole F80 comes into its own. The 2 ply belt is built onto a double horseshoe shaped frame, which gives it incredible stability. It also uses oversized rollers to provide for a smooth travel of the belt, and the cushion flex whisper deck can decrease impact by up to 40%.
So not only are you feeling like each workout is a lot more comfortable, but you will also be putting a lot less pressure onto your knees each time you take a step. This is very important if you run regularly, as you do not want your knees to suffer after a while.
You get six built in workout programs with the F80, plus two custom programs so you can design your own workouts whenever you want. You will also get two heart rate programs too, so whatever your goal is with your workouts, whether it is to lose weight or build up your stamina, you will be able to design a program specifically for you if you wanted too.
Speed and incline capabilities
When using the Sole F80, you will have a speed range of 0.5 up to 12mph. This gives even the quick athletes plenty to work with, and most will not get anywhere near the top speed for their running workouts. This also allows for the preset workout programs to really give you that diversity you need to really push yourself each time you train.
You also have an incline capability of up to 15%. This again adds even more variety to your workout options, and running or walking on an incline is going to target different muscles on your body plus really help push you to your physical limits if this is what you want to do.
“This is my first treadmill ever, and I was nervous to spend so much money, but all the reviews everywhere (here and on Consumer Reports) said that this one was the best at-home treadmill you could buy. Why buy a cheaper one that will break in a year? You can’t beat the awesome warranty on frame, parts, and even labor. So with peace of mind, I took the plunge and placed my order.
First off it is VERY HEAVY and even my weight-lifting husband had trouble dragging it into the garage. But once, in place, it assembled fairly easily–the trickiest part was the plastic cover pieces–it’s nearly impossible to reach or see the screw holes in some areas–but those are really for looks anyway. I just took my first run on it and I am TRULY IMPRESSED–I have run on treadmills at the gym before, and this is definitely comparable….” Snippet of review by “Pookapuff”. To read the review in full – Click Here
“Overall Assessment: For features, functions, and overall quality at a very reasonable price, I think the Sole F80 is an outstanding value. As of this writing, we’ve had ours for 5 weeks, logged over 100 miles, and been through every workout numerous times. In general, the F80 has exceeded my expectations. It actually makes treadmill workouts “fun” – something I never expected. The standard preprogrammed workouts all vary the speed and/or incline about once a minute, alternating between stress and recovery. There are no long boring slogs (unless that’s what you want – then you just go manual).
And the display screen provides so much feedback that you’re always aware of exactly what’s going on and what to expect next. That makes the time pass quickly, so that when I stop exercising, it’s because I’m tired; never because I’m bored….” Snippet of review by “T. OBrien”. To read the review in full – Click Here
You would be forgiven for thinking that the Sole F80 is a fixed treadmill that cannot be folded up for storage purposes, as most treadmills of this size usually are. But in fact the F80 uses the easy assist folding deck design, and has a patented all gear rack and pinion system that will allow effortless raising and release of the running deck.
This makes the F80 and excellent option for home use, as it can be quickly folded away and stored in the corner of the room without taking up much space when it is not being used.
The full dimensions of the F80 are:
- Length = 80 inches
- Width = 33 inches
- Height = 58 inches
- Weight = 265 pounds
Overall thoughts for the Sole F80
When you get innovation paired with quality, then you know you have a winning product. The fact that the Sole F80 was voted the best treadmill in this price range just goes to confirm the quality of this machine, and if you are looking for a treadmill in this price range then you will not find any better than this F80 model.

The Best RC Planes in the Market and Its Rising Popularity
Radio Controlled (RC) Planes have surged in popularity in recent years. They offer an exhilarating hobby for people of all ages. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pilot, there is an RC plane out there that will perfectly suit your skill level and needs. But as with any other product, not all RC planes are made equal. In this article, we will look at some of the best RC planes currently available in the market.
Before we delve into our top picks, it’s crucial to note that when choosing an RC plane, factors such as durability, controls, flight time, and price are important things to consider.
E-Flite Apprentice S 15e
For beginners, the E-Flite Apprentice S 15e stands out. It offers a panic recovery mode – if you lose control of the plane, simply push a button, and the aircraft will automatically right itself. The plane is built with high-wing trainer design, which is more stable and easier to fly, a perfect choice for those just starting out in the hobby.
HobbyZone Carbon Cub S2
The HobbyZone Carbon Cub S2 is another fantastic option for beginners. It is equipped with a GPS module that allows the plane to fly back to you if it gets out of range. It also features a “virtual fence” that prevents the aircraft from flying too far away from you.
E-Flite UMX Timber
For intermediate flyers, the E-Flite UMX Timber is an excellent choice. This model has a flight envelope broad enough to take on both slow flight and acrobatics. It also performs well in a variety of weather conditions, making it flexible and reliable.
FMS F4U Corsair
The FMS F4U Corsair is ideal for advanced flyers. This warbird model is recognized for its speed and ability to perform high-precision aerobatics. It replicates the original’s inverted gullwing design and it is as stable as it is agile.
Ultimately, the best RC plane for you depends on your skill level, what you want to do with the model, and how much you are willing to spend. Remember, it’s essential to choose a model that fits your capabilities to ensure a positive flying experience.
In conclusion, with the rising popularity of RC planes, other similar remote control gadgets are coming into the spotlight. In fact, alongside RC planes, there is a growing market for electric skateboards. You may even see an electric skateboard for sale at your local hobby shop. Just like RC planes, electric skateboards offer a unique and fun way to pass the time and develop new skills.
Whether you’re into RC planes or electric skateboards, one thing is for certain: remote control gadgets are here to stay. They offer a mixture of thrill and skill, a blend of technology and physical activity that many hobbies can’t match.


I was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq. I loved sleeping on the roof in summer time. Back home we have a special beds and mattress for the roof. I fell in love with the gorgeous full moon and I was fascinated by the endless sky full of stars. Around the age of 21 I got to know Astrology through the famous astrologer Ibrahim Hazbon’s radio program called “the world of horoscope” broadcast in Arabic from Tel Aviv
Since the program was very successful, he started another one every Wednesday but this one with more information about astrology. He would choose a planet to talk about and discuss its effects on humans in detail. He would talk about each sign and its ruling planet.
For years I used to record his programs which lasted for almost an hour. Then I would listen to it again and write down all the information. He starts with the movement of the planets. Then he points out the most important events in the heaven. Then he responds to phone calls from people in various countries. People call in asking mainly about marriage, health, work and travel.
A couple of years later, my neighbor was fixing my computer. He asked me if I wanted a program to be installed for free; he got through his friend called Vision which is about stars. It was completely a coincidence, a sign from the universe. This program helped me to know my astrology chart and charts of my friends and family.
Astrology translated my behavior and put it into words that made it easy for me to understand myself. I discovered my personality, came to know my weaknesses, strengths, passions, emotions, and many other parts of my personality. Astrology opened my eyes to a different, fascinating world, world of horoscope related to planets in the galaxy. It has been a great way to comprehend the big universe we live in.
When I came to the U.S.A. first time in 2004 for a visit, I got a great gift from a very lovely woman whom I met for the first time in my life. She gave me 20 books of astrology. Kathleen was the manager of my uncle & aunt’s antique store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Those were a treasure but they are in English and still was hard for me but It was another sign from the universe.
My life journey for self-discovery took me to learn hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy changed my life and opened my eyes to new way of living. I learned how I can reprogram my thoughts to change a bad habit or to identify and transform a false belief. Hypnotherapy empowered me by giving me ways of communicating with my subconscious. I am more in touch with my senses and have enhanced my intuition and self-awareness.
Hypnotherapy helped me to be gentle with myself through the process of healing in this life time. It taught me to be compassionate with myself and toward others.
Self-hypnosis is a wonderful tool to learn and everybody can learn it. Learning how to relax the body and brain is very beneficial to begin with. By relaxing your body, you can reach this powerful mental state to give positive suggestions or affirmations to your subconscious.
I have served in multiple positions and I am currently the President of San Francisco Astrological Society
The SFAS Steering Committee works to bring top level speakers to each of our monthly meetings, usually the last Thursday of each month. We emphasize variety, and aspire to keep our members engaged with current happenings in the field of astrology. We occasionally host a longer workshop format on a weekend for a special topic.
The goal of the San Francisco Astrology Society (SFAS) is to serve as an educational, professional and social networking resource to the Bay Area astrological community.
The San Francisco Astrology Society began in 1992 as an informal gathering of like-minded astrology students meeting in people’s homes in diverse neighborhoods such as the Sunset & Mission District to discuss astrology. Today we meet at The Women’s Building in the Mission District to accommodate the larger community. That spirit of warm conviviality continues in the monthly meetings that usually feature invited local and national astrological experts making dynamic and informative presentations!
The San Francisco Astrological Society (SFAS) provides an affordable monthly forum for people interested in astrology to gather and explore this ancient language. We welcome any person, from the mildly curious to the professional astrologer, who wants to delve deeper into the significance of the stars and planets to earthly life.
Finally, the friendly atmosphere encourages and promotes both social and professional networking and connections among members of the community.

Starting at a very young age I gained a passion for all varieties of fitness including running, dancing, gymnastics, and weightlifting. My main focus used to be on being the best runner I could be and not until my sophomore year in college did I discover CrossFit. I saw some YouTube videos of different WODs that I tried out at home and soon after that I joined a CrossFit gym!
I graduated from college with a degree in Middle and High School Social Studies Education and have always had a love for teaching/coaching. Therefore, a few years into doing CrossFit I got my L1 certification and my husband and I became head coaches of our hometown CrossFit gym in Columbus, OH.
Fun Fact: I have lived in Ohio the majority of my life and moving to California has always been on my bucket list. So on my 24th birthday my husband and I drove here from Ohio in my small car with my 2 large maine coon cats in the backseat. It was an eventful 2000 miles!

The month of April started with some exciting news for Chain Link Fundamentals as the program was honored at the House of Hoops store opening on 34th street. Chain Link was the recipient of the Nike Game Changer Award for it’s work in the community in the past year. On hand to receive the award were Josh Gotthelf and Eric Newman who have proudly helped put Chain Link on the map not just as a high quality basketball program but as an organization that changes lives with each and every clinic and event. With the summer months around the corner Chain Link Fundamentals will once again be a game changer in a community near you. Please keep checking the site and our facebook page for updates.

Thanks to Chain Link’s everyday support base in the basketball community and Powerade two hundred youth participants from Los Angeles were able to participate in a pair of All-Star weekend clinics at the Galen Center on the campus of USC on February 20. A team of local coaches were pre-assembled to work with Chain Link Fundamentals to deliver a dynamic program for the participants that are members of LA’s Best and the After School All-Star’s organizations. It was a tremendous way to cap off All-Star weekend as the kids got to experience the Chain Link curriculum at a top notch facility with terrific teachers of the game.

On January 8th and January 22nd Chain Link Fundamentals teamed up with Nike to run two dynamic Saturdays of skill development clinics at the El Faro Beacon Scan Facility on 120th Street and 1st avenue. The Chain Link Fundamentals staff worked with over 500 participants over the course of the two Saturdays. The participants were middle school aged girls who are members of the DYCD/Beacon program which is spread throughout all five boroughs. From beginners to more advanced participants the gym was filled with eager participants who were given two great hours on the court featuring the dynamic warmup, skills and drills in the Chain Link station cycle and an court team building activity.
Chain Link Fundamentals will next activate during all-star weekend in Los Angeles.

Chain Link Fundamentals capped the summer with a bang at the World Basketball Festival. After being led through warm-ups by the elite coaching staff, one of the best players in the world, Kobe Bryant, stopped by to assist in the instruction.
In the midst of the clinic, Kobe observed diligently, spoke to the kids, offered personalized advice to several of the participants.
Bryant was fantastic during this once-in-a-lifetime experience that these kids will remember for ever – likened to receiving one-on-one painting lessons from Michelangelo. After putting in hard work all summer at PS 92, learning from the 5-time champion was a fitting reward.

Converse Open Gym has provided kids all summer with the great opportunity to run full court at PS 92 in Harlem on a newly-refurbished playground, complete with glass blackboards and professional rims. Kicking off Day 3 of the World Basketball Festival, kids from the Milbank Center took to the hardwood at Rucker Park to get their run in. The action was fast-paced and the kids had a great time donning their orange-and-blue for the last time this summer.


PADI Open Water Diver Course (Certification for New Divers)
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course (Prerequisite: Open Water Diver)
Although we offer many different scuba programs, most people start their scuba experience and learn to dive by enrolling in either the Open Water Diver or the Advanced Open Water Diver program.
PADI Open Water Diver $599 The Open Water Diver course is a great way to get started in the world of scuba diving! This course includes:
- 6 classroom and pool sessions
- Scuba system used during the pool sessions
- Unlimited amount of practice dives in our pool before your certification dives
- 4 Open Water Certification Dives.
Unlimited practice dive gives you as many pool sessions you want to polish your skills…ensuring you are VERY comfortable and confident when you do your Open Water certification dives. Also included are the full set of course materials, books and DVD for the academic portion of the course. When you complete your training dives you will receive a PADI Open Water Certification.
- How Is the Course Organized? – Getting certified to scuba dive is a 3-STEP process.
- STEP 1 is a series of 6 classes, normally held from 6-9 pm, twice a week (Mon and Wed, or Tue and Thu) for 3 consecutive weeks. We have classrooms and an indoor pool right in our facility.
- STEP 2 is your independent practice sessions. You can schedule as many of these as you wish. They are free to our students and allow you unlimited time to practice all of the skills you learned. You will become VERY confident and relaxed after your practice session, and ready for STEP 3.
- STEP 3 is your Open Water Certification Dives. These are a series of 4 dives done outdoors with our instructors, usually completed over 2 days. They are fun dives which allow you to gain confidence in your skills in an open water environment, while still under the supervision of our instructors. You can complete them on one of our many local diving weekends, or on one of our Caribbean trips. You can even complete them on your own vacation with a dive center at your destination.
- How Do I Enroll? – So you can have plenty of time with your instructor, our classes are small, averaging 6 student divers. To guarantee your place in a class which meets your schedule, it’s best you enroll in person to fill out forms, pay for the course and pick up your study materials. You may also enroll over the phone and we can ship your course materials to you.
- Where Are the Classes Held? – For your comfort and convenience, all of the classroom and pool sessions are held at our facility. Conducting all of the sessions at one location saves travel time, so you will have more time for learning and practicing.
- What Do I Need to Provide? – If you are starting a program, all you need for the first couple of class sessions is a bathing suit and a towel – we will take care of the rest! By the 4th class, you will need to purchase your their own mask, snorkel, fins, and boots. You will need these items for your Open Water Certification dives, and we do not rent them. We encourage you to try several different styles of gear for the first class or two so you can make an educated buying decision. You’ll find it’s impossible to choose gear without trying it out first, and what better place than our pool? For all open water dives you will need to provide your own diving equipment, which you can rent from us or buy new!
- What about buying my complete scuba system? Is the internet a good place to buy gear? – Please do not purchase any dive gear from anywhere else, especially the internet, without first consulting with us. We constantly research and test gear to ensure we carry the best brands at the best prices. Our regular prices are usually at or below internet prices, but with dive gear it’s not about price. It’s about safety, and getting the appropriate gear for the diving you’ll be doing. Diving is a gear-intensive sport. Equipping our dive students and dive community with great gear is our primary purpose, and is what pays the bills, keeps the doors (and pool) open so we can continue to introduce people to scuba and keep the dive community active and healthy. Our customers are those who support us by purchasing dive gear from us, and we work extremely hard to take care of our customers. We look forward to having a lifelong relationship with every diver, for more classes, trips, dive parties, etc. If you purchase all your gear from us, you’re automatically part of our dive community…if you buy elsewhere, it makes it almost impossible for us to take care of you…since we’re not familiar with your equipment, we can’t really advise you on how to use your gear, service your gear, or loan you gear. In addition, anyone who buys their gear from us gets to use our pool free whenever they want..for life!
Don’t just buy gear from us because you like us,
buy from us because we have the best programs to benefit YOU!
- What if my schedule doesn’t match any of the scheduled courses? – Not a problem. Since we have a pool on site, we can put together a custom private schedule for you or your group for only a $100 scheduling fee.
- What if I have several months between my pool sessions and my Open Water dives? – All of our students get to use our pool for free for their independent practice sessions. This is to practice their skills and we encourage it. Even if you complete your pool sessions in the winter and don’t do your Open Water dives until spring, you can come in as often as you like to practice. Some students log as many as 5-20 practice sessions before their dives. This lets you get very comfortable with your skills before your Open Water dives.
- When are the Open Water training dives scheduled? – To complete your PADI Open Water Course and Open Water certification, 4 open water training dives are scheduled over 2 days. For the Advance Open Water (AOW) certification, an additional 5 dives are scheduled over another weekend. Often you can start some of your Advanced Open Water dives the same weekend you do your Open Water dives. You can often complete all 9 dives on one of our Caribbean dive adventures! Your instructor will discuss course scheduling options during class.
- Where Do You Dive After Certification? – Let’s face it, diving is all about traveling to fun and exotic destinations! From day trips to weekend jaunts, to 2-week adventures, we average 5-10 group trips a year!We frequently take off on our most popular long-weekend getaway trip to do training dives in the warm, crystal clear waters of Cozumel, Mexico! We also feature frequent adventures in the Caribbean, South Pacific and all points between.
From April to October we are diving locally almost every other weekend at dive sites like Mermet Springs and Haigh Quarry. These are 2 of the best dive spots in the Midwest.
We have been leading groups of adventurous travelers all over the globe for over 20 years, and our experience allows us to provide lots of diving opportunities at a wide range of prices so everyone can participate.
Our group trips are legendary for the fun times we provide. A dive trip is not just about diving, we always explore all of the fun things there are to do at a destination. Horseback riding, mountain biking, windsurfing, zip lining, snorkeling, exploring the countryside are all part of what makes a memorable and exciting vacation!


Love antiques? The OKC Land Run Antique Show is happening now at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds Cox Pavilion. Featuring over 50,000 sq ft of hand-picked, authentic antique and vintage merchandise presented by more than 80 dealers, the annual antique show and sale opened on Saturday to rave reviews.
Antique Show in Oklahoma City opens to rave reviews
"The Land Run is hands down my all-time favorite Oklahoma City antiques show," said Realtor Jill Deloitt. Jill purchased several pieces of antique furniture and a wall-hanging for her office.
A Picker's Delight!
Just $6.00 buys admittance to the event which boasts 150+ booths offering antique furniture, vintage clothing, estate jewelry, vintage holiday, Victorian, art, glass & pottery, coins, western, vintage toys & pop culture, early pawn jewelry, bakelite, art deco/nouveau, industrial, mid-century, European linens, advertising, majolica, 50's kitchenware, dolls, primitives, sewing-related, porcelain, sterling, garden, upcycled & shabby chic, antique lighting, quilts, tools, bottles, tins, transferware, perfumes, trunks, books, maps and more.
"If you weren’t already a collector, you could easily become one with the variety of dealers and the quality of antiques they have," said Amy Moses, a homemaker and mother-of-four who drove down from Guthrie, OK for the show. "I'm really impressed," she said.
Equally impressive is what you won't find at the OKC Land Run Antique Show. In order to ensure the show is appealing to both serious antique collectors and those who just like to do a little picking for fun or profit, Organizer Gail Kinney has a strict policy against dealers selling anything other than authentic antiques, vintage or quality repurposed items.
"We don't sell hair bows, new clothing, body scrubs, etc." Kinney says.
You won't find any "as seen on TV" gadgets or multi-level marketing merchandise at the Land Run Antique show, either. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Largest Antique & Vintage Event in OklahomaFed up with a lack of quality antique shows in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Kinney and her husband, Scott, founded the Heritage Event Company in 2009 and launched the Vintage Tulsa Show soon after. Today the husband and wife team produce shows in numerous states, including Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas and the Vintage Tulsa Show is now the largest of its kind in Oklahoma.

So much to celebrate!
In this season of harvest, we'd love to have you join with us to celebrate the good things that have happened this year.
September 10th: Chocolay Bayou Celebration Day! 8 am birding hike, 10 am native plant safari (ending with a tour of the Chocolay Raptor Center!), 3 pm canoe (or kayak of paddle board!) flotilla starting and landing at the Chocolay Township Marina, paddling together into the Bayou. (THIS IS A CHANGE, we will not be launching from the M28 DNR site!). 6 pm Dedication: briefs talks by the UPLC, Dan and Kim DiLoretto (the previous owners), George Hallam (a long-time local and donor), and Scott and Jude Emerson (local activists long involved in the project).
Click here to download, print, and fold up your dedication program and map.
A public forum will be held later this fall for public input on trail managment for the Preserve. For more information on the Chocolay Bayou Nature Preserve, the Upper Peninsula Land Conservancy, or on joining the Chocolay Bayou Preservers in their mission to protect and care for the Chocolay Bayou Nature Preserve into the future, please call or email the UPLC at (906) 225-8067 or firstname.lastname@example.org
For those of you who have been following this story since the beginning, we ended up doing things just a little differently than we originally planned, and you can click here to read those details. The changes are legal-description-oriented and will enhance the conservation value of the land and ensure that UPLC is able to fully protect the property as promised.
The second "Over the River and Through the Woods" 5k trail run and hike has been rescheduled to a late-spring race at the end of May! Refunds have been issued, but we are excited for the srping run! The race will be followed up by a silent auction, prizes for racers, and dinner upstairs at the Ore Dock Brewing Company! Registration will be open soon at active.com
The UPLC has been working since 1999 to conserve and protect the land of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to ensure sustainable management for generations to come. With your help, we now protect nearly 6,000 acres in the Upper Peninsula, with 10 dedicated Preserves, 23 experimental working forest reserves, and 19 conservation easements with partnering organizations and private land owners. Our latest newsletter can be found in the "news and publications" tab.

Ventura Bay is home to five real world icons, who are the heroes of today’s car culture. Build reputation and earn their respect on your journey to become the ultimate icon.
Magnus Walker. Speed.
Speed is the connection that exists between car and driver that is only present at top speeds. It’s about keeping your nerve and never lifting off the gas. It’s about the adrenaline rush of taking a corner at high speed, having faith that your car will hold firm and not lose grip. The fearless always push the limits.
Although no single person can be credited with the rise in popularity of the air-cooled Porsche, the enigmatic 911 fanatic Magnus Walker has definitely played his part. One of the most recognisable characters in the automotive world, not just for the dreadlocks and majestic beard, but the accompanying roar of a turbocharged flat-six cylinder howling through the open exhausts of a Porsche “Widowmaker” 930 Turbo. Magnus may collect and modify classic Porsches, but he’s never been afraid to get out and push them as far as he can on the mean city streets and canyon roads of Los Angeles. – Need for Speed
Who is Magnus Walker?
Magnus Walker. Ce nom ne vous dit peut-être pas grand chose, peut-être ? Pourtant, cet Anglais à Los Angeles est l’un des passionnés de Porsche 911 les plus connus et respectés aux États-Unis. Complètement fou de la sportive classic de Stuttgart, il récupère des épaves et des pièces détachées pour se livrer à des travaux de restauration d’une incroyable qualité … qui ont fait de lui l’un des passionnés de Porsche 911 les plus connus et respectés aux États-Unis et dans le monde.
Passionné de la 911 en 1977, à l’age de 10 ans, lorsque son père l’emmena à Londres, sa passion tournera à l’obsession avec l’âge avançant. Avant de pouvoir assouvir ses désirs automobiles, il a fait fortune dans le textile avec sa marque de vêtements Serious Clothing, ainsi qu’en louant ses hangars pour la télé et le tournage de clips.
His beanie hat hoards a mass of dreadlocks; his beard is a mixture of silver and blonde hairs. Magnus Walker is not what you’d call a typical-looking Porsche enthusiast. Sit him outside Kings Cross, and you’d be excused for handing him your spare change. Yet the self-proclaimed Urban Outlaw has shot to fame as one of the world’s most prolific Porsche collectors and something of an underground hero for anti-establishment tuning of vintage Porsche products. So how exactly does a scruffy lad from Sheffield wind up nestled in Los Angeles as an aficionado of Stuttgart’s finest?
The story begins back in 1977. England was an exciting place to be as a young ‘un – the Sex Pistols kicked off the punk rock movement, and a little film called Star Wars was about to spawn a whole generation of geeks. But, for Magnus, aged 10 years old, 1977 signalled a very different kind of obsession.
He explains in his strange amalgam of US twang and Yorkshire vowels: “It was the Earl’s Court motor show. I travelled there with my dad, and as we reached the Porsche stand, I laid eyes on a 911 painted in Martini red and blue stripes. The engine plaque read turbo, the spoiler was as tall as my head. I knew right then the Porsche 911 was my dream car.” – Magnus Walker
Magnus was hooked. In between scrawling 911 shapes on any piece of paper he could find, he wrote a letter to Porsche HQ asking for a job – solid ambition for a 10-year-old northerner. To his surprise, they replied, thanking him for the interest and suggesting he establish contact again in a few years’ time. Sure enough, this tentative contact engaged a little thing Magnus describes as “Porsche passion”.
Unfortunately for Walker, Sheffield in the early Eighties wasn’t exactly the place where dreams came true. By 1982 he’d dropped out of school with two O-levels to his name and no real education. About this time he also discovered drink and heavy metal music… two hobbies not exactly renowned for sparkling future prospects. Undeterred, Magnus bummed around on the dole making money exclusively to fund these new hobbies. “Cut your hair and get a proper job,” he was constantly told. By the age of 17, it was beginning to sink in, so, sure enough, he decided to get a proper job.
Over the next years, Magnus established a business buying cheap, soulless clothing and personalising it before punting it on at a stall in Venice Beach. He’d joined the fashion industry without even trying, and now there was money for sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. By the early Nineties, the stall had evolved into a brand nicknamed Serious Clothing, now being wholesaled in hundreds of shops and worn by stars including Madonna and Alice Cooper.
“Serious Clothing had its own style. We were shifting a ton of merch, renting a house and a workshop to keep it going. One day it hit me – why am I paying for two peoples’ mortgages? Why don’t we get our own place? In 2000 my wife found a 24,000sq ft warehouse we now call home. It was in an undesirable place, pretty beat up, and people called us crazy. But we had this gut feeling that everything would be ok, so we ran with it.” – Magnus Walker
But how does this translate into the Porsche collection? Back in 1992, Magnus realised that long-held dream and bought his first Porsche, a 1974 911, which soon resulted in countless speeding fines and even being pulled over at gunpoint. A change was, inevitably, needed. Fast-forward to 2002 with both businesses ticking over, the bearded speed freak joined the Porsche Owners Club where he also drove his first track day. He was pretty handy, first obtaining his Clubsport licence and then instructing other owners.
“I was doing nearly 50 track days a year, and the costs were getting crazy. The more serious I took it, the less fun it became. So in the mid 2000s, I sold every car I owned that wasn’t a Porsche and focused my time (and money) on obtaining the ultimate early 911 collection to fulfil my childhood dream.” – Magnus
The 911 styling was never intended to bring him fame. Aside from a small blog on the forum Pelican Parts, Magnus kept the collection sheltered at his workshop for his own enjoyment. But in 2012, a film director named Tamir Moscovici approached him, fed up with directing drink commercials and determined to do something more edgy. He, like Magnus, was a Porsche guy, and instantly the pair gelled. Tamir proposed the idea of a short YouTube film and, ever the optimist, Magnus replied with: “What’s the worst that could happen?” Four days of filming later, the 32-minute documentary Urban Outlaw had been created and was later shown at Sundance, to rave reviews.
“Things blew up after that. It opened up my collection to the whole world. Within two weeks, I had a phone call from Jay Leno to be on his Garage (Leno’s car-based show). My emails exploded, my phone never stopped, it was a new chapter opening up in my life.” – Magnus
A month after the film’s launch, Magnus noticed a letter at his workshop stamped with the Porsche logo. Unbeknown to Magnus or Tamir, Porsche had watched the film. What’s more, they loved it, and they loved him – so much so they flew him across to Stuttgart for a factory tour.
“Opening that letter reinforced my love for Porsche. Being a Porsche guy is about loyalty and the journey. For Porsche to reach out 35 years later reinforced that brand value. I’ve been fortunate to build a working relationship with the brand I strove so hard to be a part of. I’ve been lucky, and I don’t know what the future will bring. But one thing will always remain – Porsche passion. It brought me this far, and I’m sure it will continue to take me further.”

1971 Porsche 911
Magnus Walker’s 1971 Porsche 911 is a true classic, but it’s far from being a precious show pony; this car gets used and abused in the best way possible. The ‘277’, as it is commonly known, is a raw, visceral, canyon-carving screamer that strikes a perfect balance between weight, handling, braking and power. This naturally-aspirated boxer-powered street brawler has seen its fair share of battles and the scrapes, chipped paint and blemishes show it. If ever there was a perfect car to represent its owner, the howling 277 is it.
“I’m super excited to be in the new NFS – need for speed video game along with my favorite car #277” – Magnus Walker
Ken Block. Style.
Style is pure expression through driving, sending your car into a corner sideways with ultimate precision. It’s the feeling of freedom for that split second as your tires leave the ground, when you find yourself in a place where only you and the car exist. For some, style is all that matters.
Ken Block might just be the undisputed king of the internet and has quickly become one of the most recognisable faces and names in the automotive game. Years of driving in top-tier rally, X-Games competitions and his famous Gymkhana videos watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world have honed his skills behind the wheel. Few, if any, can match his ability to throw a flame-belching car sideways with such incredible precision. In a realm where an inch can mean the difference between worldwide fame or global ridicule, Block rules the streets. – Need for Speed

No one can get America more excited about non-NASCAR motorsports than Ken Block. Although he’s pretty good at rally racing (in its latest stadium-and-social-media-friendly incarnation, Global Rally Cross), he’s even better at promoting it and his auto/outlaw image. Block’s annual stuntastic Gymkhana mini-features are as close to guaranteed viral as they come. Why? The driving, for sure, but the machines he jumps into are simply incredible, including his latest, an 850-horsepower AWD 1965 Mustang. – motortrend.com via The 2015 Power List – 50 Leaders, Thinkers, and Agitators Shaping the Auto Industry
Who is Ken Block? The Career Story in 10 years
Ken Block. EA Need for Speed. He’s in the Game
Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR
Mustang purists look away; Ken Block’s first-gen 1965 Ford Mustang, also known as ‘The Hoonicorn’, is not exactly what you’d call period correct. An 845hp Roush Yates Ford V8 gulps down air through eight individual throttles reaching through the hood as it sends 845 horsepower to all four wheels via a custom six-speed sequential dogbox and all-wheel drive driveline. Custom built from the ground up and created for slaying tyres and not much else, simply put, the Hoonicorn is the automotive embodiment of pure, unadulterated terror.

We currently run 3 weekly open mic night stand-up comedy shows in the Washington, DC-MD (Maryland)-VA (Virginia) area.
These amateur night stand-up comedy open mike night shows in Washington, DC (Dupont Circle, NW), Bethesda, Maryland (Wisconsin Avenue) and Arlington, Virginia (Wilson Boulevard) are great places for beginners or comics new to the area to perform standup comedy in front of a live audience for the first time.
Wednesday nights: open mic at RiRa Irish Pub in Arlington(Clarendon),Virginia: 10 spots ranging from 3-10 minutes depending on your skill level.
Thursday nights: open mic at Topaz Hotel in Dupont Circle, DC: 10 spots ranging from 3-10 minutes depending on your skill level.
Saturday nights: showcase at the Hyatt Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland includes a paid MC 10-minute spot, paid 25-minute Feature spot and a paid 40-minute Headliner spot. We also have 2 unpaid 3-minute spots reserved for first-timer “Bright New Faces” that go on just before the Feature and Headliner.
DO NOT CONTACT THE VENUE.
Phone calls/emails to the venue are not accepted as signups.
All show slots are booked via email only to CurtShackelford@verizon.net.
Comics must be 18 years of age or older to perform at our shows. If under 18, try The Comedy Spot in Arlington,VA:
http://ComedyInDC.com/OpenMic.htm They have a Thursday night open-mic that is kid-friendly—no age restrictions.
There is no “show up and go up” walk-in signup.
When emailing requests, please put the Venue name and date you want to do in the subject header in this format:
Example of Date Format: “RiRa Wed. 10-26-2011” “Topaz Thurs. 11-19-2011” “Hyatt Sat 12-03-2011”
If there is space available on that show you will receive a confirmation email indicating you are on. If you do not receive an email confirmation reply within 4 hours, that means there are no spots available for that show. Try another date.
Each comic must signup individually themselves. You can sign yourself up, but if you have a friend who wants to get on also, they must email us directly themselves to signup.
FIRST TIMERS: Are you a beginner, “newbie”, trying standup for the first time? Email CurtShackelford@verizon.net to sign up for an audition slot.
VETERANS: (more than 6 months experience): please email us a YouTube video link of your stand-up act in the same email with your show date request. Please do not send videos of you doing sketch comedy, comedic acting,improv,etc-we need to see you doing STANDUP. Do not send “media kits” or “press kits” that we have to dig thru to find your YouTube clip. Send YouTube clip link in the same email with your show date request in the body of the email at the top, so we can view it quickly. We get approx. 25 videos a day and if we have to dig to find your clip we will have to skip it. Email: CurtShackelford@verizon.net. If you are NOT currently living in the DC-MD-VA area, please let us know what city you are based in.
OUT-O’-TOWNERS: Just passing through? Let us know if you’re a newbie or a veteran and what City/State you’re from. If you are a veteran, please include a YouTube clip or video link so we can gauge how much stage time to give you. Please do not send videos of you doing sketch comedy, comedic acting,improv,etc-we need to see you doing STANDUP. Please Email the video link of your act and the dates you’ll be in the DC area to: CurtShackelford@verizon.net.
If you’ve submitted videos before and did not hear back from us, please submit a new video after 6 months more experience. 6 months more stage time can sometimes result in a huge leap in the quality of your act. Email YouTube video links to CurtShackelford@verizon.net
Most comedy club open mic amateur nights in DC-MD-VA are held in noisy “open” main areas where you’ll be competing with TV’s, video games, phones ringing, bartenders making blender drinks, people who came to chat with friends and are not interested in hearing your comedy, etc—all the normal noise you here in a typical bar. This “background noise” will make your job of capturing the crowd’s attention all the harder, adding to the already stressful situation of performing standup comedy for the first time.
For live standup comedy to work, it must be done in a properly structured environment.
Our shows are held in separate “dedicated” rooms that are distraction-free and filled with focused , behaved audience who are there specifically to see comedy, so they won’t be chatting away only paying half-attention.
There are many other open mic amateur nights in the DMV area, but ours are the best. Ask any veteran comic in the DC area and they’ll tell you our shows are the “best rooms in town” for a newbie trying standup comedy for the first time.
If you do well at our weekly “public” shows, we’ll use you for our paid private party gigs that pop up randomly throughout the year.

I am proud to introduce the fourth major release (and first IMAGE release) of TriPi; a three-way environment for the Raspberry Pi that caters to (almost) all of your entertainment needs!
What is TriPi?
TriPi (Pronounced "Tri-Pie") is (now) a flashable image for those with a Raspberry Pi 2 model B which includes a fresh install of Raspbian Wheezy, Kodi 15.1 and RetroPie (Emulationstation). The best part-- it is preconfigured for you to be able to navigate between Kodi and RetroPie without the need for a keyboard!
- Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, with a power supply that can provide a steady, reliable 2.1A.
- 16GB or larger MicroSD card (or 16GB+ of available space on an external HDD, should you choose to move your /root partition there)
- Xbox360 controller (Wired or Wireless). The major purpose of this project is to go keyboardless, but if you would rather use a keyboard, this image will still function perfectly fine without a controller.

(2022 - Present)
Ordinary Wonderland series is inspired by my daily observation of events, expressed in a surrealistic way. Each work has its own story and something I needed to hear from my inner self at certain period of time.
Everything happens for you (2023)
Pastels, watercolors, colored pencils and pencils
38" H x 55"W
- Inspired by an unordinary story of a rescued blind owl named Zeus. After seeing a small image of his face with eyes that seemed to contain the universe, I imagined his universe that might have existed in his dream world. The second painting of this is work in progress.
Free yourself (2022)
Pastels, pencils, watercolors and colored pencils
58" H x 56"W
- Inspired by one of my orchid plants that hadn't bloomed for more than 2 years. I painted it with my wish and visualized it would bloom beautifully with full of vibrant colors. Believe or not, it really bloomed after I finished this painting and I still enjoy its beauty.
You are precious (2022)
Pastels, colored pencils, pencils, acrylic inks and watercolors
55"H x 42"W
- Story of a little yellow bird that I rescued on a driveway near Bryant Park in New York City. The memory of warmth from holding the precious little bird in my hand led me to paint this work. As I was painting, I came to the realization that I wasn't nice enough to myself as the bird I encountered randomly. This is a painting for the memory of the bird and me.
Pencils, pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylic inks and watercolors
55"H x 37"W
- As I get older and gain more life experience, my perspective has changed gradually. Things that I was holding onto greatly disappeared, things that I was believing hard were vanished. Life wasn’t about black and white; it is about full of vibrant colors.

Jomtien is a seaside resort, and as in any self-respecting seaside resort, water sports occupy a very large place there.
Jomtien Bay is ideal for sailing, the prevailing winds blowing in the direction of the land allow this practice even for beginners, it is possible to rent small catamarans, sailboats and of course windsurf boards.
Many nearby islands allow the discovery of the marine environment, corals, diving tours of wrecks with or without diving equipment, you can fish in the sea and make a stopover on a deserted beach of these islands for a little relaxation .
You can also discover the underwater flora and fauna aboard a submarine specially adapted to appreciate this world.
Many jet ski rental companies will allow you to practice this sport or stroll along the beaches, but beware of scams, jet ski rental companies do not have too good a reputation.
And there are many other nautical and other activities to discover in the bay or on Jomtien beach.


Enjoy your camping holiday in freedom with a few more comforts: glamping is right for you! The new frontier of outdoor holidays, the fusion between “camping” and “glamour”, the union between the adventurous side of camping and the design of an apartment.
And the big news this year: the 4-person Luxury Tent, a larger structure with kitchen and private bathroom, to enjoy an enchanting camping experience, sleeping in nature with all the comforts of a real apartment. We have reserved an area of the campsite entirely dedicated to these six new lodgings with minimal and refined architecture, recreating a small village with a Nordic flavour.
All the tents are tastefully furnished, with attention to the smallest details. Beds with soft mattresses and pillows, a veranda furnished with table and chairs[do you already see yourself having an aperitif or having a tasty breakfast before starting the day?] and practical storage compartments to always have everything you need close at hand.
Discover the glamping tents of Europa Camping Village and live the experience of a 5-star campsite!

I went to my one hour power yoga class to sweat, stretch my muscles and move fresh oxygen through my blood. I hadn’t taken a class in nearly a week and my body desperately craved the heat and movement of flow.
After an amazingly intense one hour class our instructor had us lie on to our backs and get into “happy baby” for our final resting pose.
Looks like this:
At first this pose feels wonderful, your vertebrae, one by one, aligns to the floor, hips begin to stretch open and relax and you feel and actually look like a happy baby.
But holding this posture for more than 30 seconds begins to feel torturesque and we were in this pose for nearly six or seven minutes…
not certain exactly but enough time to listen to the entire song of Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah ..
Between this extremely deep hip opener and mesmerizing song filling the yoga studio… my mind began to wander and I became lost in my thoughts.
Thoughts of pregnant women and how open and relaxed their hips would be in this very pose, if I would take yoga classes when I was finally pregnant one day, my own happy baby that I continue to dream about both day and night, bringing me back to the reality that my cycle still had not started since my surgery, the heavy thought of trying again…and the pain in my tight hips which began intensifying with my thoughts.. and before I knew it my hips began fighting the pose and the pain almost became unbearable taking my breath away…I wanted to quit, I wanted to run right out of the room-Hallelujah and all, away from the heat and the sweat and my thoughts…
But I stayed.
And I breathed.
Welcoming both the pain and the release.
And that’s when it started
Tears began to roll down my flushed cheeks
and I let them
I knew where they were coming from and it made me cry that much more; my hips were holding on to
my tightness, rigidness, controlling tendencies, worries and fears
and I just told myself to let go
Let it all go- she whispered…
And I did
And it felt wonderful
Deciding at that very moment that both tears and happy baby are a beautiful thing
(aka Dead Bug Pose)
Physical: Releases lower back and sacrum; opens hips, inner thighs, and groins
Emotional: Releases unconscious emotions stored in the hip area
Rx for: Lower Back Pain
1. Lie flat on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart, arms alongside the body, palms facing the ceiling.
2. Lift feet off the floor and bring knees in toward the shoulders.
3. Flex the feet.
4. Grasp the outsides of the feet with each hand.
5. Pull gently using the hands, enhancing the stretch and bringing knees closer to the floor.
6. Press buttocks into the floor.
7. Hold for 5 to 10 slow, deep breaths.
