End of era: why Messi and Ronaldo won't become the best any more

End of Messi and Ronaldo's era

Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo left the 2018 WC on the same day, and many people started to talk about the end of the era of the two greatest players of modern time immediately. In a column written for Realnoe Vremya, popular commentator Vitaly Oshovsky tells why these talks are absolutely reasonable.
CriRo fans didn't laugh for long
30 June 2018 will be remembered in history of football for ever. Lionel Messi was out of the tournament together with the national team of Argentina at 19.00. However, Ronaldo's fans weren't glad for long: the Portuguese were eliminated from the WC precisely 4 hours later. And now a paradoxical situation can be observed in all social networks now: Messi and Ronaldo's fans are posting pictures where their idols sadly hug each other. There aren't eternal debates who is cooler nay more – there is only regret the era of Ron and Leo made a very huge step to the finishing line.
Several journalists at once asked Hugo Lloris about the duel of Messi and Kylian Mbappé before the match between Argentina and France. He said Leo couldn't be compared to other football players, he's unique. But if Mbappé will work hard and play well, he will be able to reach his level, France's goalkeeper replied. Kylian smashed the defence of the national team of Argentina almost on the next day, got a penalty and performed a double. Messi played a good match and even had two successful assists. But people say for a reason: Leo is the only player in the world who can be criticised for not making a miracle.
''In this tournament, Lionel lacked freshness as nobody else. He has a very hard season at Barcelona behind, which he also works almost on his own,'' Sergey Kiryakov claimed. In this respect, it was easier for Mbappé because he has Cavani, Di Maria and Neymar at PSG. And PSG doesn't have rivals in the Championship of France.
Messi played a good match and even had two successful assists. But people say for a reason: Leo is the only player in the world who can be criticised for not making a miracle
Mbappé could have a break this spring to show off at this WC at times. A miracle is expected from Messi in every match. And if nothing happens, bashing starts. His mother Celia Cuccittini admitted Leo was a wonderful person with big heart. She says sometimes he takes criticism to heart. Sometimes she sees him suffer and cry, and it's painful for her to accept it because she knows how he loves his country.
Number of haters of Messi grows even in Argentina
Another question that's actively discussed among fans is whether Messi is the best or 'one of the many'. Many people choose the second option in Leo's homeland after the elimination of the national team of Argentina. Moreover, the number of his haters also skyrockets. Famous Argentinean coach Ricardo Lombardi claimed Messi 'absorbed' the eighth coach. There is a feeling he played badly deliberately to put pressure on Sampaoli. Messi should be expulsed from the squad. He doesn't care about anything, he plays against the head coach. Lionel always wants to be surrounded by the players he likes, not the best players.
Indeed, there is a serious piece of truth in his words: an episode in the 80 th minute in the match with Nigeria showed it when Sampaoli asked Messi's permission to field Agüero.
Before this tournament, the 'alien' had a unique chance to become absolutely the best player in the world. But due to several reasons, he didn't take advantage, which caused a new wave of talks about the insufficient greatness of Leo in comparison with Maradona. The majority thinks Messi can't be better than Diego without a victory at WC. Meanwhile, opponents insist that football was much slower in the 80s, and there were less really cool players (especially defenders). Due to the failure of Messi at the 2018 WC, it won't be possible to come to a single opinion. The elimination of the national team of Argentina doomed us to eternal debates about Messi and Maradona.

Messi vs Ronaldo
Visual impressions often play a key role among fans with regard to 'who is cooler'. Here, as a rule, any mathematics doesn't work. Ronaldo can have 8 Ballon d'Ors in a row. He won 2016 Euro and three Champions Leagues in a row. However, Leo is called the genius of modern football anyway. And completely different characteristics of these players is the point. Even 'semi-alive' Messi almost lost the match with the Frenchman with the help of his 'genius'. While Ronaldo, first if all, is a machine for scoring goals, an incredible athlete. Apart from the different game style, they have diametrically different character. But if Leo hadn't stopped in 2015 and continued getting one Ballon d'Or after another, it would have been possible to confidently speak about his supremacy over Ronaldo. But Messi lost his chance here too: at this moment, their Ballon d'Or score is 5-5!
Two great players left the WC in one phase and on one day. Ronaldo will be remembered in this tournament for his hat-trick in the goal of one of the favourites – the national team of Spain, while Messi – for an amazing assist in the match with Nigeria. This all just proves that football is a team game, Rio Ferdinand said well. In yesterday's match with Uruguay, we saw how smart team actions and the highest concentration of the defence were able to neutralise even the legendary Portuguese. Cristiano was constantly in the centre of attack. However, he has never (!) received a ball in the rival's penalty area. And it becomes more complicated for Ronaldo to regularly reach the penalty area, look for the ball due to his 'old age'.
Who breathes down their necks
It's highly likely that after the 2018 WC neither Leo nor Cris will receive the sixth Ballon d'Or. Same Mbappé not only is on their heels – there is a feeling he is about to go ahead of the two giants. Messi's downed eyes after the third goal of the Frenchmen by Mbappé is a kind of delegation of power.
Ronaldo can have 8 Ballon d'Ors in a row. He won 2016 Euro and three Champions Leagues in a row. However, Leo is called the genius of modern football anyway
Samuel Eto'o affirms Mbappé is going to change Messi soon. If he, of course, is able to manage his status well. To have an excellent career, it's necessary to consider a variety of things not linked with football. So the French player hopes he will be able to talk with Mbappé one day. Kylian can follow Messi's example – a person with incredible power of will.
Not only Mbappé is ready to shift Leo and Cris this season already. Mohamed Salah looks no less bright in the first half of the year. Neymar who will be the main candidate for Ballon d'Or if Brazil wins the WC is getting shape after a serious injury. Moreover, forwards Harry Kane, Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku are able to really surprise the world. They all, except Salah, are ready to break the hegemony of Ronaldo and Messi right now.
There won't be any hot debates about which of the giants is cooler any more. Instead, we will be witnesses of the union of fans of Cris and Leo more often. With sad memories of their former greatness.

Interior and tech
It is a beautiful interior, no doubt about that – the days when BMW's cabins used to be well thought out but quite staid are gone, and though it's much more subtle than it once was, the driver-angled centre console on the dash is present and correct. Shame, then, that even though it is of a high quality, it's not quite as special inside as the Porsche, Audi, Range Rover or even Volvo equivalents; it doesn't move the game on considerably from its immediate predecessor. There's plenty of space, although naturally the option of fitting two seats in the back (£1410) reduces the X5's 650/1870-litre cargo capacity (seats up or down) in five-seat format.
Despite being well-equipped, luxurious and reasonably expensive, there's a long list of options on which you can drop several thousands of pounds, meaning you could quickly end up with an X5 that's deep into Range Rover Vogue price territory. Things such as Head-up Display (£995), sound systems that range from £485 for the BMW upgrade, £895 for the Harman Kardon and £3345 for a Bang & Olufsen set-up, rear-seat entertainment (£2130), a panoramic glass sunroof (£1295), soft-close doors (£485), night vision (£1750)… all of these are very nice, but will bump the BMW's price up significantly.

Loudoun County could seek nearly $80M in damages related to opioid crisis
Sanford Heisler Sharp, LLP
As It Appeared On
By Nathaniel Cline, ncline@loudountimes.com
Loudoun County could seek nearly $80 million in damages related to the nation's opioid epidemic, the Board of Supervisors determined Thursday night.
Following a closed session meeting, the Board of Supervisors directed County Attorney Leo Rogers to retain and work with Sanford Heisler Sharp LLP, Kaufman & Canoles LLP and the Cicala Law Firm PLLC to initiate and prosecute ligation against opioid manufacturers and recover costs incurred.
A board-initiated cost assessment found the county has a claim for at least $79.6 million over the last five years in the areas of criminal justice costs, emergency services costs, school system costs, mental health costs, family and children's services Act costs and other expenses.
Opioids, commonly used for pain relief, can be addictive with severe drawbacks and accounted for more than 47,000 deaths in 2017 in the United States, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In the same year, an estimated 1.7 million people in the U.S. suffered from substance-use disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers, and 652,000 suffered from a heroin use disorder (not mutually exclusive). An estimated $78.5 billion per year has been spent on prescription opioid misuse in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Costs include health care, lost productivity, addiction treatment and criminal justice involvement.
Nearly a year ago, the Board of Supervisors directed county staff to assess the damages to law enforcement, emergency and health services. Counsel in 26 Virginia localities has filed suit against opioid manufacturers. Some of the nearby localities include the counties of Arlington, Fauquier, Prince William and the City of Alexandria.
The board voted 8-0-1, with Supervisor Kristen Umstattd (D-Leesburg) absent.
"It's not just opioids, it's substance dependence disorder as a whole that is a scourge on a society and has caused the deaths of so many," Chairwoman Phyllis Randall (D-At Large), a mental health therapist by trade, said last summer. "Opioids by themselves caused the deaths of between 75 and 115 people per day in America, and at some point there needs to be some reckoning of how we got to this place. And so I support all options for prevention, education, rehabilitation, but also reckoning to how the opioid and substance abuse crisis in total has become so out of control."

The unbeatable location on a quiet street adjacent to Piazza Navona is the reason we love Hotel Raphael for families. Many of Rome's major tourist attractions are within walking distance. Rich with local color, the historic streets in this part of the city are fun to explore. The ivy-covered hotel has a boutique feel with appealing public areas and modern rooms. Families need to know that some room categories are small and the hotel offers only a handful of suites that can accommodate four people. That said, if a suite is available and you have a flexible budget, the property makes a wonderful home-base and is a favorite for many Ciao Bambino clients. The rooftop terrace is a special feature with lovely views of Rome's landmarks.


What a way to end the term! Well done to all the children who auditioned for our fabulous end of term talent show. It takes courage and resilience to get up and perform in front of others. An extra well done to our finalists, Ella, Evie, Izzy B and Lily U for their outstanding performances. The children in the audience were amazing too! So supportive and full of encouragement - I feel so privileged to be a part of Team Wyburns.
Following this we then created our memorial (in memory of the Jewish people who lost their lives) in the school sensory garden. We took a moment to think about how history has changed our lives for the better and pledged to create a better world without prejudice.
Have a well-deserved break Class 6 and I'm so looking forward to more magical moments in the Summer Term.


Trimming hooves took us a couple of times before we got comfortable that we weren't going to make the sheep bleed all over.
Here is the information we used to get us started, we had never trimmed a hoof before we got the sheep. This will be a regular (read; quarterly) chore for the sheep. This step-by-step learning tool was borrowed from the www.infovets.com website.
* When learning how to trim feet, begin by removing small amounts of hoof wall at a time. Go slow and take the time necessary to let the foot down and check the balance of the foot. Removing small amounts and taking time to check balance on the foot will help reduce the chances of over-trimming and entering the sensitive structures of the foot.
This picture shows the various parts of the hoof on the bottom of the foot.
A) identifies the heel regions of the foot.
B) shows the toe region on a claw that has not been trimmed.
D) indicates fresh sole after being trimmed.
Often the first place to start is the dewclaws. The tips of the dewclaws should be removed. These structures will bleed if cut too short, so it is important to remove small amounts on a frequent basis.
This shows the bottom of a foot that is in desperate need of a trim. Notice how hoof wall has over-grown between the two claws allowing dirt and potential infection to be trapped in the interdigital cleft (identified by the white arrows).
The goal of trimming the foot should be to get the bottom of the foot to match the angle of the coronary band (identified by the white line). In this picture, the excess toe is being removed to a level where the bottom of the foot will be parallel to the coronary band. The intended bottom of the foot is indicated by the black line. Notice how the white and the black line will be parallel once the foot is properly trimmed.
This picture compares the untrimmed claw on the left to a trimmed claw on the right. Notice how much shorter the toe region on the trimmed side is in comparison to the untrimmed side.
This is a picture of a fully trimmed foot. The bottom of the foot has also been leveled with a plane.
I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada and I prefer the convenience of shopping online when I'm too busy to drive to town to pick up the items I need. I purchase many sheep supplies, including hoof trimmers, at Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers.

From stars' entourage to the octagon, Danilo Marques finally gets his UFC shot
Khadis Ibragimov and Danilo Marques will battle in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 253. | Zuffa LLC via Getty Images
It has taken a while for Danilo Marques to finally earn his chance in the octagon, but being in a UFC event and experiencing a fight week at the biggest stage possible is nothing new to the 34-year-old fighter.
Marques (9-2), who takes on Khadis Ibragimov in the preliminary portion of Saturday night's UFC 253 in Abu Dhabi, has lost count of how many UFC events he's been part of over the past decade or so. As a cornerman, he's been with Fabio Maldonado once, when he headlined a Fight Night card opposite Stipe Miocic, and helped former champion Mauricio Rua in most of his UFC fights.
"Demian (Maia), Mauricio and many others, I've been in half of the trips when they fought," said Marques, who trains at Demian Maia's team in Sao Paulo and Rafael Cordeiro's Kings MMA in California. "Sometimes I wasn't in the corner, like in Demian's case, for example, but I've traveled a lot with them and have always been part of their camp. I've been with them all over the world."
For Marques, experiencing a UFC fight week alongside major Brazilian stars helped him prepare for his first opportunity. And making his octagon debut in Abu Dhabi is more special since he travelled to Fight Island in July to corner "Shogun" for his trilogy bout with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.

Danilo Marques (right) cornered "Shogun" Rua in Abu Dhabi.
"I'm feeling at home here," he said. "We spent almost three weeks here the first time, so I'm already used to the place. There's not much we can do here but we know how the hotel works, I know the employees, I know what's the best time to warm up before the fight. There's nothing new for me here."
Away from the cages for two and a half years, Marques originally signed to compete at Dana White's Contender Series on June 30, but visa issues prevented him from travelling to the United States. He got a new bout set for Sept. 15 and flew to Abu Dhabi to corner Rua, but woke up one day to the news of another fight cancellation.
"That was hard, man. That was f*****g hard," Marques said. "I remember being by myself in my room and opening the email and thinking, 'no way, it's impossible, I must be sleeping or something.' I speak English and I'm used to reading in English, but used a translator to read it again [laughs]. I called Eduardo (Alonso, manager) right away. It was very frustrating, but Mauricio told me, 'keep your head up, son, we'll get it.' I was frustrated, but we never gave up.
"Getting here was hard, but now I have to stay. I'm just halfway through now. My plan is to fight well and get the job done, but I'm obviously very anxious. It's so cool, but I have to go there and work."
Ibragimov has actual experience in the UFC cage, though, but went winless in his first three octagon appearances. Marques believes he's "a good fight for us" style-wise, too.
"It's a great match-up for me," Marques said. "It's a good fight for me regardless of the fact he's coming off a win or a loss. I'm confident. The best way to win is doing what I always do, closing the distance and grappling. But we have other plans for the victory. Depending on what he tries to bring against me, we have a game plan set."

Coe returns to be coach of North softball
By KEVIN GOFF,Mail Tribune
She starred on the state title teams of the 1990s before going to Oregon
North Medford, with its storied softball history, began a new chapter on Monday.
The Black Tornado dipped into a pool of talented former players during its search for a coach and plucked out Missy Doerr to guide the team this season.
Doerr, known as Missy Coe during her four years with North from 1995-98, replaces Brent Barry, who took over the athletic director position at Phoenix High after two years coaching the Tornado.
We had three excellent candidates that we had in mind, said North Medford athletic director Tim Sam, who declined to name the other two finalists. We are very excited about Missy being the new coach.
She's very passionate about coming back and coaching for us.
Doerr, 24, spent three years playing softball for the University of Oregon and remained in Eugene after graduating. Her husband, Kurtis, was a punter on the Ducks' football team and now sells medical supplies.
The couple still resides in Eugene and is expecting their second child in a month. They plan to move to Medford following the birth.
Missy Doerr applied for the position less than a month ago and just recently got word of her hiring.
I am very, very excited about coming back and coaching for North, said Doerr, who coached a 16-under ASA team from Eugene last summer. (North Medford) has been such a big part of my softball career from the time I was 12 years old. It's the only place that I truly felt I could give back to the organization that led me into softball.
Doerr's background in softball is both lengthy and impressive.
She earned first-team all-state honors three times as a catcher and helped the Black Tornado advance to the state title game in her last three seasons, winning one and tying another.
Doerr moved on to Oregon and didn't miss a beat. She was named to the all-Pac-10 Conference first team in 1999 and set school single-season records in doubles (18), runs (49) and total bases (127) while hitting a team-best .362.
In 2000, Doerr hit three home runs in one game against Wichita State.
Her latest challenge is to keep North among the elite in the Southern Oregon Conference.
I truly believe we can continue the tradition here, she said. The standard of excellence is very, very high, and the respect and pride of North softball is known around the state.
Doerr will have plenty to work with this spring.
North Medford, which made it to the state quarterfinals last season, returns second-team all-state outfielder Deni Rowley and honorable mention all-state catcher Stephanie Haskett.
Pitchers Kendra Strahm and Mallorie Hoover return for their senior seasons, as does second baseman Rachelle Willden.
I've heard some great things about the girls, said Doerr. I know they have a very good team coming back with a really strong senior class.
I just want to give to them the knowledge that I learned while I was at North.
And help the Black Tornado turn the page.

From the time I was young I wanted to run away. I saw myself going to every country, speaking the languages and meeting people of all different cultures. At eighteen I am now on my way to Hawaii to do just that. I have been saying for two years that I will be in Hawaii, around the same time I walked into Armeny's. I was in shock by the beauty of the shop and more so when who I've come to know as Armen's sister, raved about how he could do any design even Mickey Mouse. I had this thought in my head for years before that until just months ago of a map of Hawaii on a ring. I have always loved gold jewelry and told myself I would save to buy a gold ring before every country I traveled to. Leaving home I told myself this gold ring would be for Hawaii and as I stood there looking at the jewelry in the shop I knew I would be back. Months ago I came to Armen and not only did he take my dreams and make them into a digital image verifying what I wanted but then a beautiful gold ring sitting on my pinky finger. My sister told me as we drove home how fairly Armen treated me as an eighteen year old and I couldn't agree more. He worked with me to find a way to make it as affordable as possible, using my grandmother's broken ring to pay for some of the total as well as giving me an entirely fair price for the honest masterpiece he made. I will be wearing my ring everyday but being sure to take it off before getting in the waters of Hawaii and will definitely be back at Armeny's the day I need a ring for my left hand ring finger. I would recommend him to anyone who treasures their jewelry more than anything as I do and who is looking for a company with a family as a true to their business as they are to each other. Thank you Armen, it means the world to me.
Armen is amazing. Went in with an idea for a custom pendant and he blew away my expectations. I will for sure come back again for my next custom piece. I recommend anyone looking for an awesome jeweler with great ideas and a wonderful personality, look no further than Armen.
My mother has a jade necklace that had a broken clasp and needed to be restrung. Armen did an EXCELLENT job!!!
I was looking for a place for a watch battery. I love to support my neighborhood businesses so decided to stop by here. He changed my watch battery as I strolled through the neighborhood and gave me a call when it was ready. $10 for the battery and service was a good deal for me.
The customer service is second to none and the attention to detail on custom made jewelry nothing short of amazing. I bought my wife's engagement ring there and had no choice but to buy my wedding bands there.
My fiancée and I discovered Armeny when searching Yelp reviews for a great custom jeweler in the area. Thank you Yelpers for the amazing guidance! We are so lucky to have found Armen and have him create both of our engagement rings. My fiancée and I are both women who wanted to very different style rings. Armen and his sister Hasmik, who also works in the store, were patient and generous with their time, friendly, kind, and amazing to work with every step of the way, and the outcome is absolutely incredible.
My ring was based on a Victorian 19th century estate piece I fell in love with years ago, but with some tweaks. When I first saw the digital renderings I had a couple little concerns with the width of the band, etc, but after talking them through with Armen, I just decided to trust the expert. When my fiance presented the final ring to me, I was blown away. It turned out more perfect than I ever could have hoped for, and her ring is equally stunning and unique. My best advice to anyone who designs a piece of jewelry with Armen is to trust him! His creative instincts and eye for detail are truly exceptional. He is an artist and master of his craft. I can't wait to have him design our wedding bands, but in the meantime, I'll be shamelessly agreeing with all of the compliments I receive from people who say my ring is the most beautiful engagement ring they've ever seen.
Accidentally, I broke my polycarbonate eyeglass frame. Unfortunately, I had no back- up frames at the moment. Went to several eyeglass repair shop but no success. Then, I read online the great reviews Armeny had and decided to give it a shot. I was EXTREMELY satisfied with the result of my fixed eyeglass! Armeny is a true, caring professional who is an expert in doing what he does and I think this place is absolutely the best! Thank you Armeny for your great customer service and excellent craftsmanship!! I highly recommend this place to anyone who need eyeglass frame repairs!
Excellent repairs in a very timely fashion. Quality workmanship in a friendly environment.
Love, Love, Love my engagement ring and so do other people that see it! It's so unique. Thanks Armen.

I came to this store for a gift for my girlfriend's second anniversary. Foolishly, I hadn't realized it was more of a made to order store, and as I browsed the cases for what I had in mind and couldn't find, amid a sense of defeat and horse's assedness, Armen and his very accommodating sister went completely out of their way on what I could tell was a busy day for them to help me decide exactly what it was that I was looking for. Again, I had no specific item in mind, yet their infinite patience with me allowed the possibility to look through catalogues and narrow down the perfect anniversary gift, and beyond that, I could tell that it wasn't a favor or a business obligation on their part; they legitimately cared about my outcome and made certain that I would be happy with the choices that I made. I was coy as well to be so limited in my budget, and while other jewelers would most likely not waste their time with such a small sale, it was of no importance to them and they treated my circumstance all the same as any other client, an undeniable indicator of true integrity. Armen was beyond fair in his pricing, in fact better than if I had bought something less personal for more, and I already have 2 other projects in mind that I have no doubts these 2 wonderful people will have no trouble helping me reach.
Armen, we gave the diamond earrings to my friend/colleague today and she absolutely loved them!!! I later mentioned that she could return them if she would prefer something else and she said "Why would I want to return them? They're wonderful!" Suffice it to say that she was thrilled and my colleagues with whom I was texting while in the store were very pleased with the selection. Thank you for your patience while I looked around for the right gift for my esteemed colleague and friend. The time spent was well worth it – the earrings will remain special to her forever and she was truly grateful. They were stunning on her and she said she might not take them off – they are really perfect for her. The diamond earrings you created from the ring this summer are gorgeous. We'll give them to our daughter over the holidays when we see her – I know she too will be pleased. Thank you for you classic and elegant work.
Armeny does not disappoint. Unique, beautifully designed jewelry at affordable prices. Owner is very courteous, professional, patient and knowledgeable. One visit and he earned my business. I'll be back again for sure. Many thanks.
Armen helped me create a custom ring for my wedding. It came out great and he was super helpful from day one. Very pleasant and awesome customer service. Highly recommended.
I have settled into my ring very comfortably.
You created a beautiful ring. Simple yet elegant, contemporary yet slightly traditional. It is stunning and a joy to wear.
Armen, I am so very pleased with the ring. It is beyond imaginable. Your workmanship and vision made it just exactly as I imagined it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is a beautiful ring!
Armen is an artist, out of the box thinker and a great communicator. There has already been enough said about his work, but in my case he went above and beyond any expectations. He, firstly, designed a pair of earrings that I loved (being an absolute saint during the discussions), and, secondly, has adjusted them to my liking without blinking an eye.
Thank you, Armen, and I will be back for more.
Absolutely brilliant! He designed my perfect engaging ring! I would highly recommend Armeny Custom Jewelry!
When it comes to Yelp I personally don't give out 5 stars freely but when it comes to this place it's well worth it. By far this is the only place that has helped me and truly time of need . Just recently I had two articles of jewelry that needed to be fixed when was my watch any other was a bracelet. My girlfriend had to get a watch shortened due to it not sitting on her wrist we called the company to hopefully send it back in so we can be done professionally and they declined to do so. I looked this place up, came in and they gave me a warm welcome. Everything that couldn't be fixed by other people or other stores they took on the challenge and fixed everything that I brought in. This place has to be the best place in the central Connecticut. Matter of fact ,hopefully I will be able to go here to get my engagement ring done.
After reading the rave reviews on Yelp, my wife and I went to Armeny to design her engagement ring using a family diamond. From the moment we walked into the store we were greeted with friendliness and professionalism and instantly knew we had found the right place. Given we live out of state, Armen (the owner) was extremely flexible and easy to work with. We communicated via email and in person each time we were in town. It was always a pleasure to see both Armen and his sister Hasmik in the store. In the end we created my wife's engagement ring and wedding band and I ordered my ring there as well. My in laws have since been customers and are equally pleased with their jewelry and the experience of working with Armen.
Armen was great to work with as we designed and created a ring that my wife had envisioned for many years. When we finally got serious about the project in the Spring, we decided to work with Armen based on his courteous professionalism and beautiful work displayed in his store. The ring came out great, and we love it more and more as time goes on. Armen was patient with us, as we worked through the design, renderings, diamond purchases, revisions, and prototyping. The experience was enjoyable, and the end result is an heirloom that we love.
Armeny Jewelers did and incredible job repairing my wife's wedding ring and it didn't take 3 weeks like many other jewelers. They are friendly, honest and trustworthy. I was treated like a family member. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for a certain piece of jewelry or is in need of having jewelry repaired.
My wife had a ring design in her head for many years. We finally got real on the project in the Spring and started working with Armen on the design and production of the ring. Armen was easy to work with, and created excellent renderings that brought the design to life. The finished product is beautiful, and each week that goes by, we love the ring more and more. I recommend Armen for his professionalism and artistic craftsmanship.
I was running an errand in West Hartford, and saw the Armeny store next door to the store where I was shopping. I had a ring with a damaged stone I wanted to replace, but wasn't sure where to go, so I impulsively popped in. Armen and his sister were extremely helpful and professional. When I showed them the ring, Armen politely made a suggestion for re-designing the ring that was highly imaginative and would improve the overall appearance of the piece significantly–so I immediately decided that he should do the work. Once he completed the ring, it loved it more than ever and now I never take it off. After that, I asked Armen to design a new ring from scratch using stones from an old ring I didn't wear any more. Again, he executed a beautiful design starting with a computer generated rendering, a wax model and finally the finished ring. It's gorgeous, and I was amazed at how reasonable the price was for a unique, personally created piece of jewelery.
I went to Armen with a very unique engagement ring. The ring has a low setting and a twisted double shank, which made it very difficult to find a wedding band that looked good next to it. I was having a lot of trouble deciding the style of band and I was excited by the idea of seeing the wedding band on a computer screen before it was actually made (that way I wouldn't have to worry about my imagination matching reality). I went in to Armeny and had my first consult with Armen. We came up with 3 different possible styles for my wedding band. I was still having trouble making up my mind and went in for multiple consults. Armen didn't seem to mind my frequent visits, he was incredibly helpful and gave me feedback through the whole thing. One of the options (which I didn't do) would have involved making a double-sided band that sat flush to the curves of my engagement ring, with the diamonds slightly tilting outward so that it looked the most sparkly. Armen would have taken a mold of my engagement ring so that he could make a computerized image of my engagement ring to be 100% accurate in making the matching band. I ended up having him replicate a ring that my great grandmother wore, using her diamonds. (My engagement ring and wedding band do not match at all, but it looks like it is on purpose, and I actually like it that way). He still took the measurements of my engagement ring and then very carefully examined all of her diamonds and told me which ones were likely the originals, and which ones were poorer quality replacements. He made my new ring using all of her original diamonds and found 2 additional diamonds of the same quality to complete the near-eternity style band. Long story short, I love love love the wedding band he made! Throughout the entire experience Armen was VERY attentive to detail. During our consults he was very contemplative and thoughtful and it was clear to me that he wanted to make my ring as beautiful as possible. He is a true artist.
Armeny, thanks for creating my engagement ring. Is beautiful and very unique. Thanks so much for all you work on it for us. I love it!
The best jeweler, family owned and operated store among all jewelers in West Hartford center. A quality of workmanship and customer service are outstanding. If you are looking for an engagement ring – first stop by here! Hands down, excellent quality products for the money. In need to customize your jewelry, to give it a new look – ask for Armen, he is your magician. What a great job they do!
I came in for a custom necklace and it came out better than I could have imagined. Everyone in the store is very friendly and Armen went over each step of the process thoroughly with me. I was surprised at how much detail he was able to get in a smaller sized charm. My mother was extremely impressed and excited when she received this custom gift! I recommend Armeny to anybody and will definitely return in the future.
Armeny is a great place to bring your jewelry. excellent service and very friendly. I brought a set of jewelry to be cleaned, and they took care of it within 5 minutes!!!
I would recommend Armeny to anyone looking for the best service around town.
Absolutely amazing jeweler. My fiancée purchased my engagement ring from a different store and we took it to Armeny to be sized, based on the great reviews. The price was cheaper than most places, especially in West Hartford center, and I was happy that they do the sizing in the store. We also took the opportunity to view some wedding bands while we were there.
Armen was extremely knowledgeable with everything to do with jewelry and metals. He told me all about the pros and cons of different ring settings and metals, how often I should clean them, etc. He took a lot of time out of his day to explain all of this even though he knew we wouldn't be buying our bands for quite a while and my fiancée had already purchased my ring from another store. It's rare to find a jeweler that you can trust, but I definitely find this at Armeny.
Armen originally had told me it would take 2-3 days to size my ring, but after just 24 hours I received a call saying it was ready. We picked it up today and it looks twice as beautiful as the night my fiancée proposed to me. It is a high grade diamond and was sparkling before, but now it looks even more gorgeous. I'm shocked at the quality that this small store provides and I will definitely be returning to Armeny to purchase our wedding bands!
I wanted to have a very special custom designed ring for myself. That is why I went to Armeny. I explained to Armen what I was looking for. He provided a sketch and made a final product. The way he worked with me was very impressive and professional. I love my favorite ring and will visit Armeny again without any doubt. Thanks again for your professional approach and excellent customer service.
I live in Montreal and I was introduced to Armeny jeweler by a family member after he had made a fabulous custom ring for my sister.
Since then, I bring anything to be fixed or redesigned to Armen.
Armen is kind enough to try and finish the order during my visit, if not, I'll wait until I come back and pick it up then.
Honest, professional and caring……doesn't get better than that.
Armen is fantastic. My fiancé was working in Hartford last year, and decided to go with Armeny Jewelry to design the engagement ring. It is so beautiful, and the craftsmanship and service were both so awesome, that even though we live in D.C., we went through Armeny Jewelry for both of our wedding rings! He will work with you to figure out what you want, and has been very quick to respond via email with progress reports, costs, etc. If you want something special, something very personal, this is the place to do it! I would absolutely call up Armen again if I need other jewelry work!
Armen created my engagement ring which I absolutely love and get tons of compliments on, so it was only fitting that my husband and I go to him for our wedding bands. When he made my engagement ring he had me consider my wedding band so that when I eventually wore the two together it would fit nicely. The wedding ring is gorgeous and the 2 rings together are stunning! I can't say enough how talented Armen is. He is also professional and easy to work with and talk to. The shop itself located on Farmington Ave is clean and upscale with a warm vibe which is perfect for browsing and discussing personalized items. I will be going to Armeny for the foreseeable future for whatever I may need. Thanks again!
Thanks for the gorgeous 3 diamond ring you created for me. I will cherish this forever.
I just want to let you know that my daughter loves the pendant…she also likes it on the longer chain.
Thanks so much, once again…it has been a pleasure working with you.
I called a few jewelers this weekend looking for someone who could remove a watch band link in house while I waited without sending it out to a watch repair specialist. Shockingly after calling about 3 different jewelers Armeny was the first who replied in the affirmative (some of the big names clearly just have sales people who have no actual technical training). Popped over the mountain to Armeny and was very pleased with the service. As I walked in Armen came out of the back to say hello and ask what he could assist me with. We talked through what I wanted done and a little bit of why because it had implications into our decision to remove two links vs one (I'm losing weight). Armen completed the work in literally 2 minutes and then we talked a little bit about how I found his business and some other items of interest between the two of us. I came away so impressed at the personal service Armen provided and I can tell he cares about his customers and building relationships. I already have made mention of him to a couple of friends who live around the center because he also makes beautiful custom jewelry that I think their wives would very much enjoy (as would my own). Will definitely do business with Armen again.
I had a ring with 3 diamonds that was badly in need of resetting. For 5 years [or more] I had been carrying around a picture of my "dream" setting. Due to the sizes of the stones I knew that they wouldn't fit into any pre-made setting. This would have to be a custom job but I had no idea of who to go or where to turn. It was a very lucky Google search that brought me to Armeny Custom Jewelry! Armen listened to every thing I said. He worked with the picture of what I desired and made changes and improvements. He was very helpful in answering all of my questions both in person and through emails.
Armen did an amazing job designing and making a custom setting. The ring is absolutely gorgeous, beautifully crafted, and will be a treasure forever. Armen was helpful and a delight to work with; it was obvious he wanted me to be happy with the out come while still staying within my budget. I hope to have Armen work on several more pieces for me.
Armen is not only a very talented jeweler but also a true artist. He was able to take my dream and make it a reality.
Again, thank you so much for your work. Really does look brand new.
Here are the pictures of the ring on the day of the wedding, and then the two pictures of the "sculpture".
I will be sure to recommend you to others. Take care.
When looking for a jeweler to create my engagement ring I found Armeny on Yelp. My fiancée and I went to here based on the great yelp reviews, and because I didn't want to go to a big place where i would feel like sales reps were vying for my business. I was seeking a more personal experience and I certainly found it here with Armen. He was very helpful in answering all of our questions. Not only in person, but then in continued emails back and forth for weeks while I decided exactly what I wanted. He designed the ring in a 3D program for me to approve the design first, and he expertly copied (and even made better) a setting I wanted mimicked from another ring. Bottom line, he created exactly my vision for my engagement ring. It is stunning! A million thanks!
I cannot express how thrilled I am with the heart pendant. I love the look, the feel and the weight of the piece. It is a true work of art. Of course…you are such a wonderful artist. I am honored. Thank you so much. Oh my… I just saw the pictures of the work in progress. Amazing, truly amazing. You were able to take my vision and make it a reality.
Came here to get my watch battery replaced. Called first to make sure they do this and the guy on the phone was very courteous!
Was able to find metered parking right across the street, which was super convenient.
Was greeted by an elderly woman who looked to be making jewelry. Shortly thereafter who I assume was the same courteous gentleman I spoke to on the phone walked out and greeted me. After a short polite exchange he informed me he would have my battery changed in a few minutes. The cost was $11.
I took that time to walk around the store and admire the beautiful and well-organized displays. I also spotted a GIA certification, which was very impressive.
Shortly thereafter the courteous man returned with my watch, politely thanked me for my business and asked me to come again, which I definitely will!
Still in shock at how amazing my engagement ring came out. I stare at it daily and I am so grateful that we worked with such a talented jeweler. He listened to every little thing I said, down to the very last detail. I cannot wait to go back and work with him on our wedding bands.
Armen did an absolutely amazing job designing and making our wedding rings in a very short time. They are gorgeous and beautifully hand-made, and we will treasure them forever. Armen was so helpful and very easy to work with; it was obvious he just wanted us to be happy with the outcome. Thank you so much Armen!
Thank you Armen! The ring you designed for my girlfriend/fiancée is just want she wanted–she loves the ring. We truly thank you for your assistance in designing her engagement ring, it was a great experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire shopping/buying experience at ARMENY. They were exceedingly helpful to design perfect setting for my diamond. They listened to my ideas, sought out designs with my desired characteristics and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. The showroom/office is completely cozy and inviting–it's a warm and relaxing place to shop for. Armeny's work product is absolutely amazing and they are truly committed to customer satisfaction!
I decided to have a special custom designed ring and went to Armeny. First of all, I was impressed with excellent customer service they provided in the store. Secondly, they clearly understood what I would like to have done when I explained them my idea. Thanks to Armen, I enjoy wearing my new ring. Excellent service and very affordable prices! What else do I need?
Armen helped Camille and I design her wedding band for our May wedding. We brought in diamond chips from my grandmother's wedding ring and he helped design the most beautiful band for Camille. Armen custom designed a beautiful wedding ring. We loved coming in to see the ring and even just like to stop by for a visit. Armen and his sister are so friendly and welcoming. They took such an interest in our wedding planning and we are so happy with our choice of them as our jeweler's. We loved going in to visit for the fittings and talking with him about our dogs. We still owe him a visit so he can meet Frank and Minnie.
A friend of mine suggested I talk to Armen when I mentioned I wanted to reset my engagement ring and purchase an anniversary ring. He did not disappoint. Armen was able to take my ideas and make them a reality. It was a wonderful experience and he created exactly what I wanted, In fact they surpassed my expectations.
It is a real pleasure to be in your store. There are many people in custom jewelry business, but few do it as well as you. Thank you again.
The best store for jewelry ever. Anyone can sell you something run of the mill out of a catalog. That is not what I was looking for. With three different renderings to review the perfect ring was decided on. Craftsmanship and professionalism is job one at Armeny.
Armen, this is beautiful. I just spoke to TJ, we both LOVE the design! TJ said, "Holy Cow! He is amazing!" Thanks so much. We are very pleased!
Armen-I gave the cross to Teri – it was a total surprise, she did not realize I took it. She cried! She told me the story of how she bought it shortly after her husband passed away. It was very emotional for her. The new Jesus is truly a piece for it, I am in awe that such a beautiful result could even be performed. I struggle to tell you how much I appreciate the detail put into this piece.
My family used Armeny Custom Jewelry Design for four separate projects and was thrilled with each outcome. He used family stones to create modern pendants, earrings, and rings for all the women in my family. Most recently, he used a series of diamonds and sapphires from my mother's tennis bracelet to create custom earrings for my mom, me, and my sisters. They came out so unique, and lovely. It's also a treat that you get to see a mock-up of all the designs before they become reality. A+!
I wanted a pendant that would symbolize 30 wonderful years of marriage and Armen created an heirloom masterpiece for me! By using the diamond from my original engagements ring, my original diamond studs and three Tahitian pearls we purchased during our anniversary trip, Armen designed a beautiful contemporary, unique pendant which I wear with great pleasure. Thank you, Armen!
You guys are the best, most knowledgeable and fun to shop with. Prices are more than reasonable, quality is outstanding. Not regretting that i have my long drive to your store from Mass.
Armen is a master – I lost a custom wedding ring and only had a few, blurry photos that showed the ring on my hand. Between those poor photos and a few sketches, Armen was able to reproduce my ring to a T. He was easy to work with, had excellent suggestions, and did EXACTLY what I asked. I had little faith that I would ever see anything like my ring again, but now I'm wearing it. Thank you, Armen!

Mayor Lee Announces Local Hire Policy Surpasses Initial First Year Goal
First Annual Local Hire Report Released; Appointment of Local Hire Director & Formation of Advisory Committee to Strengthen Local Hire Policies to Put San Francisco Residents Back to Work
3/27/12—Today Mayor Edwin M. Lee joined Supervisor John Avalos, City Administrator Naomi M. Kelly, City departments, construction industry partners and community supporters to celebrate the one year implementation anniversary of the landmark San Francisco Local Hiring Policy for Construction. The Mayor released the first Local Hire annual report showing the City reached 34 percent local hiring on City-funded construction projects, significantly exceeding the first year goal of 20 percent. Mayor Lee also announced the formation of a Local Hire Advisory Committee and the appointment of new Local Hire Director Pat Mulligan to ensure that the Local Hire policy continues provide jobs to San Francisco residents who need them most.
"On the first anniversary of our historic Local Hire law, we are proving that we can rebuild our City's infrastructure and ensure our public investments are creating local jobs for San Franciscans," said Mayor Lee. "As our economy recovers, we must continue implementing the next steps of our Local Hire law to ensure that City investments in rebuilding our roads, parks and sewers keep putting City residents back to work. I want to thank members of the Board of Supervisors and the community for their strong support and advocacy for reaching our Local Hire goals in the last year."
In December of 2010, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted the Local Policy for Construction, which amended Chapter 6.22(G) of the San Francisco Administrative Code. The Policy transitioned from "good faith" efforts for local hiring on City construction projects to mandatory levels of San Francisco resident participation. The Ordinance is among the most ambitious and far-reaching policies on local hire in the country.
"We are rebuilding San Francisco and putting San Franciscans to work with the strongest local hire ordinance in the country," said Supervisor Avalos. "Today's report highlights that we are doing just that, hiring within our communities and working together as a City to make sure that we are putting San Franciscans back to work."
"San Francisco's local hire law is putting San Franciscans to work, and we have implemented the program in a cost-efficient manner," said City Administrator Kelly. "This report shows the community the progress we've made and charts a course for sustaining our economic recovery. Our new Local Hire Advisory Committee and Local Hire Director will help ensure we stay the course and meet our goals under the Law next year as well."
The first Local Hire annual report, produced by the City's Office of Economic and Workforce Development, found that the City reached 34 percent local hiring on City funded construction projects, 14 percent above the first year goal of 20 percent. On March 25, 2012, the requirement goal escalated to 25 percent. Overall, 153 San Francisco residents out of a total of 542 workers have worked on 22 of the active Local Hiring projects in the first year of the Policy's implementation.
In its first year in implementation, City-funded public works and improvement projects were required to meet 20 percent local resident participation by trade, and 50 percent local apprentice participation by trade. The report shows that the 22 City construction projects performed work hours that have yielded 34 percent in San Francisco resident participation across all trades, and 68 percent for apprentice hours.
The first Local Hire annual report can be found at www.WorkforceDevelopmentSF.org
Mayor Lee also announced the formation of a Local Hire Advisory Committee to include City staff, labor unions, contractors, and community representatives. Committee members will be appointed by the Mayor and will provide guidance on the implementation of the policy, give feedback on key decisions such as trade exemption requests and provide a broader forum for feedback on the Local Hire Policy.
To help with the City's efforts to train and hire local residents for the City's capital infrastructure improvement projects, Mayor Lee appointed Pat Mulligan as the City's new Local Hire Director. Mulligan will not only move ahead in aggressively continuing the City's progress in implementing the policy, but will also work to innovate and find creative solutions to ensure San Francisco residents are given opportunities to apply for and train for our local jobs. Mulligan previously served as the Financial Secretary of Carpenters Local 22 and is a Trustee of the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council. A San Francisco native and a graduate of University of California at Santa Cruz, Mulligan has served as a construction professional for the past 25 years.
Today's announcement took place at the Cayuga Clubhouse and Playground, a $5.5 million rebuild of a small park in the Cayuga Terrace neighborhood as part of the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, which is one of 22 projects that have performed work hours under the Ordinance in its first year. Once complete, this park will feature a new clubhouse, upgraded children's play areas, improved pathways, and new court as well as improvements to the irrigation system, landscaping, and the park's basic infrastructure.
Aggressively implementing San Francisco's landmark Local Hire Ordinance to ensure that City-funded projects hire San Franciscans and employ local contractors as well as working with public-sector employers to prioritize hiring San Franciscans and San Francisco contractors are critical parts of Mayor Lee's 17-Point Economic Plan for Good Jobs & Opportunity for San Francisco.

1st Thomas Reinke went undefeated for the third week in a row, this time ending up with a 4-0 +511 record. His first game was a big win against a late-arriving, harried-looking Helen, where he scored 505 and played LEADENS, SOBBERS (an appropriate term describing the usual state of one of his Scrabble victims), and HUMANITY. He faced Charles in the second round, and won 438-382. Charles started off with a big SHIELDED for 94, but that was his only bingo, and Thomas' sole SETBACKS along with some other stuff (exact nature of the stuff is unknown) was enough to take the win. Thomas' next match was against Gail, where he won 443-365. He got two bingos, SPOILER and ACULEATE (n. a stinging insect), early, then proceeded to play so much defense that Gail couldn't bingo at all. There was a definite lack of places to play by the end, but they managed to squeeze all 100 letters onto the board when all was said and done, achieving the customary 44.44444 percent tile coverage. In the final game, there was a rematch of the classic twin matchup, and Thomas again came out on top, 500-382. He played ZENAIDAS, STUNNERS, and DICENTRA in that game, while Charles' two bingos meant that Thomas had only three played against him the whole night. Easy to win games when your opponents aren't getting 50-point bonuses all the time, I guess.
2nd Gail Salm came in second place with a 3-1 +46 final tally. She won a close one against Dave in the opener, 395-371, countering his word-of-the-week CHOLERIC (adj. bad-tempered) with SCORIAE and playing enough defense to keep her opponent from bingoing at the end. Her scoring output dipped in the second game, by one point, but she still beat Bryan 394-349 by playing TENSIVE and PINIEST. That makes two wins in a row for her against that particular opponent, and the trend doesn't show any signs of stopping, as Bryan will continue to not win any games against her for at least the next week. In the third game, she faced the unstoppable defensive juggernaut of Thomas and lost 365-443, but she recovered in the final game, beating Helen 436-381.


Despite being an incurable introvert, I have a tendency to talk too much.
I'm not sure I've ever left a party and not wondered why I talk so darn much.
In some ways I've transferred that habit here, to the blog. I have a captive audience and I can come and share my thoughts whenever the spirit moves me.
And the fact that what I say might inspire you somehow? Whoa. Now I might never shut up.
But the truth is thought, I also crave silence.
I need lots of quiet time to be lost in the day-to-day work of my life, to soak of the magic of my family, and to be in my own head.
There is mindfulness in the silence.
But you and I have an unspoken agreement.
You know that if you come here during the week, there's a pretty good chance you'll find a new post. Most days during the week.
And I feel a little sorry if I don't share something with you.
So I come here and share.
Even – sometimes – when I really just need quiet.
I'm feeling the need for peaceful down time with my family.
I'm feeling like powering down my laptop and going outside.
And yet I don't want to let you down.
It's like we have a Monday Morning Coffee Date that I should either show up for or call and cancel.
I doubt that most of you know how much it means to me that you come here and read what I write. What a gift that is! And I don't want to disrespect that by disappearing on you.
But sometimes I need to.
I need to disappear now and then and get lost in my own head.
And get lost in the quiet.
I won't be showing up here everyday.
Maybe sometimes I won't be here all week.
And when that happens you can assume I'm in the woods with my kids or canning the last of the tomatoes. If I'm away, it's probably a good thing.
Perhaps it will inspire you to power off your computer and head out into the world for an adventure of your own.
I'll still be here, but I want to allow myself the freedom to write only when I have something to truly worth sharing.
With that, I'm out of here. For today anyway.
P.S. To keep up with me you can also follow me on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter. I'll still pop into those three places now and again, too.
Good for you Rachel! We all need time to just be in the moment. And in the last year your life has exploded with new things. It's very important to take the time to slow down and really see and experience all of these new things. It's a good reminder to us your readers also to step back and slow down and really experience our own reality. And for those of us who need a LuSa Clean experience on any particular day we can go to your archives and bring up any topic that fits our need. With as full as your life is you need to be sure you have time for you especially since you are probably still getting your energy back after having lyme disease.
We're thinking the same things(as usual.) I've been having these exact thoughts. And yes, how is it that introverts can talk too much? I do that too. I think for me it's nerves.
You know best what it is you need.
And you are delightfully human.
I love reading your post, but I also understand that need to be in your own head, because I feel like that too, crave that too.
So, no need for apologizing, you are excused but you don't need our approval. Be your wonderful self, because you are a wonderful person.
Like Heather said, we're by your side! have a wonderful time!
Never feel obligated hon! After all, we sometimes take a break from blog reading too 🙂 Its just not quite as obvious to you since you're the one doing most of the talking.
guilty. and i love this new plan. enjoy your time away so you may better enjoy it here.
your blog is growing so much on me. your words and photos are so good. thank you!
I'm an introvert too. I feel like more and more people are coming out as an introvert, which I think is great for a better understanding.
I put my blog on the back burner the past couple of months. When you have kids, land, a garden, animals, it's hard enough to find the time for yourself never mind blogging. Yet blogging can also give a mama some 'her' time. Some accomplishment outside the home.
You are very inspiring. I will always look forward to your words and photographs no matter how frequent or in frequent.
I've left facebook 4 times and often for 7 months or so at a time. I have a love/hate thing with the online world/inner peaceful silence of the real world.
Enjoy your quiet family days. Canning. Whatever your inspired to do on a day to day basis.
Do what you need to do Lady. For you and that lovely family of yours.
A few comments have expressed what I'm thinking–no need to apologize, sometimes we take a break from reading blogs without telling you, your life has been riding a wave of huge events and of course you need down time. You have no duty to look after our souls more than your own.
Preserve yourself and rethink your blogging schedule. Maybe keeping a personal journal would satisfy your need to write and process thoughts, without worrying about the audience.
Your blog is one of my faves. My frame of mind may be enhanced by your posts, but my life won't be worse without it. My hope is that you come back when you feel inspired, after a long, relaxing and refreshing breath. If you don't come back, I'm still blessed for what you have shared already!
You are intelligent.funny. wise and sensitive..and real.I will be watching for your posts and hoping life is good for you as you enjoy your family and your awesome farm!
Full support. Oh, and admiration. Thanks for having the guts to go with what you truly need.
thanks for sharing bits of yourselves with us all, even me down here in little ole Aotearoa(New Zealand)I will appreciate the nuggets when they come all the more.
What I realized is that a post once a week is what I can handle at this point in my life, while my children are still small (but growing bigger every day). It may not be the best possible scenario for my blog, but my family comes first–always. And the readers I value will understand, as I'm sure yours will as well. Do what YOU need to do, always.
Love it! Silence is good and there is nothing wrong with powering down and stepping away- you are so inspiring to recognize the need in yourself and then share it with us because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by not being here- too thoughtful!
You're not letting us down at all. I read your blog & others when it works out for my schedule…you should feel free to write when it suits you. Take care! I'll be reading when you next post!
Lovely. I dig that we're always on the same page. Except for the part where I'm not pregnant.
Thank you for your kindness. And for sharing your words.
You have to fill up before you can spill out onto the page. It is a wise woman who recognizes her needs and takes time for the quiet. Beautiful blog post…and when you are not on the page, I'll know you are in that holy space in between words.
I´ll keep enjoying your posts even more!
Thanks for being a source of inspiration and reflections.
I'm also an incurable introvert that can sometimes talk too much. I notice it's "worse" when I'm anxious.

mad orange fools: At last!
If you are a Polaroid addict like me, then you have heard all about this today. I just can't help but write about it a little.
The Impossible Project had their big press conference today about the new instant films that they have developed. Available on March 25th, the first two films are black and white integral films, one for the SX-70 cameras and one for the 600 cameras.
The packaging in and of itself is stunning and so far all the images I have seen are absolutely beautiful. The whole collection is here.
At $21 for 8 shots, it's not something I can really stock up on, but I definitely will be buying a handful of packs to try out. It's too hard to resist even though I should be pulling my purse strings tighter, not loosening them up.
It's pretty amazing that this group of people put there heads together and not only started this venture but have now also produced new instant film. Mind-blowing, in fact. Perhaps a whole new era for instant film.
A couple of new bags.
It's all about rainbows around here.
Often found on the coffee table.
What I wouldn't do for a view.


"In Traralgon, a local woman explains the promises made to the community when Victoria's electricity system was privatised. Her husband and hundreds of others were encouraged to take the redundancy package with the promise they'd be hired back as contractors. It never happened and an entire generation never got jobs again.


Being here for Israel's English-speaking community is a responsibility that Chaim V'Chessed does not take lightly. Over the past three-and-a-half years, the once-fledgling organization has exploded into a non-stop chessed operation, with an average of 50 new cases to tackle each day.
Chaim V'Chessed offers assistance to English-speaking residents and tourists in all aspects of life, including special education, mental health, geriatrics, government offices, kupat cholim and health care. The organization is departmentalized by areas of service, and each department is staffed by experts in its field.
Chaim V'Chessed's medical department has been operating beyond capacity for a while. Mrs. Nechama Nulman, department coordinator, acts as the liaison between callers and their healthcare providers, hospital staff and on-site Chaim V'Chessed hospital representatives. The reps, Zevi Weingarten and Aralla Weingarten, are both native Israelis with years of experience interfacing with hospital staff, smoothing out complications and ensuring that patients' needs are met. Zevi and Aralla circulate between Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals. They advocate for patients and guide them through the confusing medical terms and foreign hospital mentality.
But the need for hospital assistance just keeps growing. This October, Chaim V'Chessed welcomed a new team member. Meet Mrs. Shani Wahrsager, a born Israeli who is intimately familiar with the Anglo mindset and culture.
It's rare for Israelis to work so well with Anglos. What's your secret?
I was born in Israel, but my parents are American. I grew up in the Israeli system and I have a fluent Israeli Hebrew, but I've lived and worked all my life with Americans. I get their mentality and I speak their language.
How did you hear of Chaim V'Chessed?
I've been working in the world of English-speaking non-profits for years. Over the past three years, the name "Chaim V'Chessed" started coming up more and more. I realized they were doing valuable work. When I was ready to move on, I reached out to Chaim V'Chessed, and with my job history and skill set, the medical department was a perfect fit.
I work with Nechama Nulman in the medical department. Nechama's been handling all the behind-the-scenes medical cases on her own until now. My job, ultimately, is to phase into her current role as the in-office liaison. This will free her up to spend more time in Jerusalem hospitals. Zevi and Aralla Weingarten are phenomenal patient advocates. They accomplish so much and have affected the lives of hundreds of people. But the need is growing. Adding Mrs. Nulman to the hospital representative roster will not only increase Chaim V'Chessed's presence in the hospitals, but will also offer patients more emotional support.
You're new to the organization. What's your take?
Chaim V'Chessed is here for you. We are a non-profit organization that helps English speakers navigate all areas of crisis or difficulty in Israel. Our phone hotline operates 9 am –5 pm, Sunday through Thursday, with an emergency notification system that operates 24/6. To learn more about our multifaceted efforts on behalf of Israel's English speaking community, or to contact us, visit www.chaimvchessed.com or dial 072-CHESSED (243-7733).

The Last Stand (2013) Review
Director: Kim Jee-woon
Genre(s): Action, Crime
The Last Stand was supposed to be Arnold Schwarzenegger's big comeback film, as this was his first lead role in a movie since his term as Governor of California. Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly an overwhelming success at the box office, and critical reception was mixed. The picture is about small-town sheriff Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who must lead a posse against escaped drug lord Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), who's making a mad dash to the Mexican-American border. It sort of sounds like a modern-day western, doesn't it?
This flick's secret weapons are its clear, well-defined characters. Even the smallest acting roles can easily be distinguished from each other here. Of course, this is really Schwarzenegger's movie, with his immense presence towering over all others. Forest Whitaker shows up as FBI agent John Bannister, giving a performance that's so intense that one has to wonder if he knows that he's actually in a silly action film. Harry Dean Stanton (as farmer Mr. Parsons) and Johnny Knoxville (as eccentric gun museum owner Lewis Dinkum) make positive impressions.
Yeah, the characters may be fine, but how's the action (the real reason you're watching)? To sum things up, the violence is pretty frequent, magnificently bloody, and excitingly orchestrated. South Korean director Kim Jee-woon handles the ever-escalating physical mayhem with commendable skill. The finale, when the good guys and bad guys duke it out for control of Schwarzenegger's town, is a fearsome, fun fiesta of firearms fetishism. Don't miss it!
One's enjoyment of The Last Stand is largely dependent on how they feel about the action genre and Schwarzenegger. Fans will eat it up. There's no romantic subplot for Arnie and the carnage comes fast and hard. From beginning to end (which features a version of "I Ain't Superstitious" performed by Santana featuring Jonny Lang), this is one of the Austrian Oak's most consistent efforts. I recommend it highly to his followers.

Synopsis for "Kill You"
Eminem is performing at a concert, and once the show is concluded, he leaves in a limo. They are stopped by the Punisher who is standing right where they need to go. Eminem and his crew get out angrily to move him out of their way, but Punisher merely opens fire on them, killing many of them. Eminem runs, firing behind him as he does so, but is pulled into a building by Barracuda.
Believing Barracuda to have saved him, Eminem goes with him to a house, and wait to ambush the Punisher. Eminem gets the drop on Castle and smacks him in the face with the butt of his gun, knocking him out. However, he quickly found out Punisher wasn't after him at all, and that Barracuda was not trying to save him, as Barracuda shoots him in a non-vital organ and causes him to become knocked out.
Eminem wakes up on a boat chained to Punisher outside Detroit. Punisher starts to argue with him about their situation. Barracuda arrives to kill them, and throws Eminem of the boat and onto the frozen water, but it does not break. Barracuda looks for his sniper rifle, and Punisher attacks.
Eminem runs out onto the frozen lake, somehow escaping from his chains, and finds an ice fisher. The ice fisher is a huge fan, and says he'll do anything for him. Eminem asks to borrow his chainsaw for cutting ice for a moment. He runs back to the boat and sees Punisher getting beat-up badly. He grabs Barracuda's attention, then chops him up with the chainsaw. Savoring the moment for a minute, Eminem realizes Punisher has a gun to his head.
Punisher tells him he is going to the Parents Music Council for contracting a killer. Eminem floats off into the sunset, and says, "Do me a favor and tell 'em Shady sent you."
Despite the cover saying this is the first issue of a two issue limited series, this was only released as a one-shot issue.

Northern District of Illinois
John R. Lausch, Jr
www.justice.gov/usao-ndil
Rockford Man Sentenced to Six Years in Federal Prison for Illegally Possessing Firearms
ROCKFORD — A Rockford man has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for illegally possessing loaded handguns.
JAMES PETERSON, 41, last year illegally possessed a .380-caliber semi-automatic handgun and a .45-caliber handgun. As a previously convicted felon, Peterson was not lawfully allowed to possess a firearm.
U.S. District Judge Iain D. Johnston imposed the prison sentence Friday after a hearing in federal court in Rockford.
The sentence was announced by John R. Lausch, Jr., United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; and Angie Salazar, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago office of Homeland Security Investigations. Substantial assistance was provided by the Illinois State Police's State Line Area Narcotics Team (SLANT), the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert S. Ladd.

The Beast progressive rake race at Winning Poker Network rooms now comes with zero rake drop. WPN listened to players and decided to fund the entirety of the promotion themselves instead of cutting into players' winrates with extra jackpot rake.
A 100% free shot at a large payday is yours while you're grinding, especially if you can play enough to make it into the top 20 leaderboard positions.
The beast is funded by WPN according to players' usual weighed contributed rake. Your rakeback isn't affected.
Players earn 1 point per $0.02 they contribute to the beast.
Each Beast race runs over a week from 00:00 Saturday – 23:59 Friday. Cash prizes are issued at the end of each Monday for the previous week's race.
The more games run, the higher the Beast prizepool rises. 100s of leaderboard spots receive prizes each week, with more winners for higher prizepools.
For example a $50k Beast prizepool pays out 200 players, and a $90k pool will see 360 paid. 25% of the pool is retained to seed the following week's prizepool.
The top 20 rakers receive 13% of the prizepool. First place is capped at $20k to flatten the payout structure WPN calculates and award more money to casual players.
To date the Beast has paid out over $4m in prizes – check your current leaderboard ranking on the Americas Cardroom or Black Chip Poker website or via the links in the top right of the poker client lobby.
