DEAR CAROL: With the school year beginning, once again we face the decision of what to do with last year's lunch box. For boxes with broken lids that still have a good bottom, I use them for storing small bottles of glue, craft and school supplies. It can even be kept on a high shelf, as the handle helps to get it off the Return to Tiffany mini heart tags bracelet.

If the box is intact, but worn out, I keep it in the car trunk with a supply of plastic eating utensils, napkins, wipes and cups to have on hand when we need snacks after sports practices or trips to the apple orchard. - MS. M.B., WORCESTER.

A WEBSTER reader, MS. J.C.H., says, "I don't like T-shirts with shoulder pads. I didn't want to discard the pads, so I decided to make pot holders out of them. I sewed the centers together to make a nice round pad. I then covered it with material I had on hand. It's nice and soft and heat resistant."

DEAR CAROL: As a mom of two young boys, I often think about how to combat the problem of germs around the house. Unfortunately, I don't always have a lot of time to do something about it.

Teething rings and other plastic infant and toddler toys go from hand to mouth and mouth to floor, often without being cleaned in between. Each time I load the dishwasher, I put a few of these items in the top rack. I don't have to worry about making time specifically for this chore. - MS. J.W., tiffany jewelry on sale.

DEAR CAROL: Recently while babysitting for my 2-year-old granddaughter, she accidentally smeared bubble gum all over my linen shoulder bag. I was at a loss as to how to remove it.

As I was looking under my sink for regular household cleaners, I came upon a discarded can of hair spray. I sprayed the gum and as if by magic, it all peeled off nicely. I also used the hair spray to remove ink stains from inside the purse. I have found that the spray also works well to remove stains from cotton and other cloth fabrics. Thank heaven for whoever invented it. It isn't just for hair anymore. - MS. C.A.R., WORCESTER.

From MS. B.H. of SHREWSBURY comes this idea: "Sometimes lettering and pictures on tops and T-shirts smudge when ironing. Now I take a plain piece of standard-size notebook paper and place it over the lettering. The wrinkles come out, but the letters don't smudge."

DEAR CAROL: In case of an emergency, I went over and over the method of dialing 911 with my 3-, 4- and 8-year-old children. Then I discovered that writing it in the slot on the phone where your own number belongs helps them to remember more readily.

Now I tell them that if an emergency occurs, just look at the phone and dial these numbers. Even the youngest is able to understand. - MS. L.E., WORCESTER.

"Here's an idea for women who like a complete fashion look. Recently I purchased a cute jumper-style Heart chain bracelet. It came with two extra covered buttons that matched the fabric.

"I had some old earring backs on hand, so I glued the covered buttons to the backs and now have earrings that match the jumper. You can also purchase earring backs at most craft stores if need be. You couldn't get a more coordinated look."

VideoCorner: Techniques of Beading Earrings valentines jewelry.

by Deon DeLange. Produced by Bosworth Communications; distributed by Eagles' View Publishing Co, 1993. VHS, color, approx 76 minutes. $29.95.

Techniques of Beading Earrings is one of the most complete beading lessons that anyone could hope to view. It was wonderful to have the video narrated by the author of so many successful and informative beading books. Not only is Deon DeLange a very talented designer, she is an easy to understand and follow Frank Gehry Fish necklace.

Introductory parts deal with the basic supplies that one would need to bead. DeLange takes her time to carefully explain and show why certain materials are essential. The section on "Tips and Tricks of the Trade" is a treasure trove for any level of beader.

Through the mechanism of start and completion of one pair of beaded earrings, DeLange covers the whole process with close-ups of one part or another adding greatly to the reader's understanding. One of the most interesting parts of the presentation is DeLange's inclusion of natural materials such as porcupine Elsa Peretti Starfish necklace. The total impact is that Techniques of Beading Earrings is a highly motivational video that this reviewer highly recommends for any level of beader.

Is Body Piercing Against My Religion? Earrings Are Okay, But Nose Rings. Are Not, Unless You Live in Tiffany 1837 Bar key ring

`Gee, yours looks kind a crusty," said my bikinied neighbor to her friend as I passed them on the veranda we share. They were comparing their new navel rings.

Ugh! Why would these pretty young women -- Stanford students, yet -- want to puncture their bellies like savages? In these parts, people pierce everything. The shop-girl in a Berkeley stationery store has one ring through her lip, one through her nose and several through each eyebrow, and that is just what I could see. Habitually, I would dismiss such a sight as "Goyim naches," an idiotic practice disdained by Jews. But is it?

Is body piercing permitted under Jewish law? Just how different is piercing your nipple -- Jewishly speaking -- from piercing your ears, which is obviously practiced

Nose rings, the most common outre piercing nowadays, were the height of fashion in biblical times, according to Genesis 24:47. No less a personage than the matriarch Rivka wore such an ornament, given to her by the servant of her soon-to-be father-in-law, Avraham, as a chichi engagement present before her marriage to Yitzhak. "I then placed a ring in her nose, and bracelets on her arms," the verse reads. Genesis, however, since it represents the period before the giving of the Commandments, is not considered a source for legal prescriptions, so that wasn't much help.

Leviticus, the Torah source of many rules pertaining to bodily practices, reads (19:28): "Do not make gashes in your skin for the dead," prohibiting Jews, the commentator Rashi explains, from following the pagan practice of scarring the body when a member of the tribe dies.

But do gashes in the skin translate into pierced body Tiffany Circle clasp necklace?

Rabbi Moshe Tendler, a Yeshiva University professor of biology and Jewish law who is a leading halachic authority, said that when we consider body piercing, "the issue involved is self-mutilation. There has to be good reason for it." Halacha tolerates some minor forms of self-mutilation, like pierced ears and plucked eyebrows -- but only those forms that are sanctioned by prevalent social norms. "Society is a major halachic interpreter" in this regard, he said. "Societal approval leads to halachic approval as well."

Piercings of noses, navels, lips, genitals or anything other than ears are way beyond the pale, Rabbi Tendler said, because society rejects them and they represent a kind of additional risk to one's health, which tradition advises Jews to avoid. To explain the prohibition against gold hoops in sensitive places, the rabbi cited three concepts originating in the Torah and explicated in the Talmud.

First, Deuteronomy 22:8: "When you build a house, you must place a guard rail around your roof. Do not allow a dangerous situation to remain in your house, since someone can fall from [an unenclosed roof]." Consequently, "it is forbidden to introduce danger into your life" and all due care must be taken to avoid doing injury to yourself and others, Rabbi Tendler said.

Second, Deuteronomy 20:19, which explains that when you lay siege to a city, you must not destroy its fruit trees or use them for making war, not only because you may later eat from them but because it is forbidden to destroy anything that is useful and vital.

Third, "Take heed and watch yourself very carefully" (Deuteronomy 4:9 and 4:15) is a commandment not to cause yourself injury and follow only healthful practices, as Rabbi Tendler explains, in order to serve God to your fullest capacity.

Finally the rabbi raised the question of intentions. "Why would a man or woman put an earring through a nipple or a genital organ?" he asked. According to Rabbi Tendler, such adornments are not for beauty but are inspired by "sexual fantasies, some kind of cult or rebellion against Heart and Tiffany Box Charm." Such motives, according to the rabbi, run contrary to Judaism. By the rabbi's own reasoning, in India it would be acceptable for a Jewish woman to wear a nose ring, because it is the custom. So, then, if nose rings et al. become a more universal fashion here, would that provide a loophole for Jewish bohemians?

STUDENTS DEFEND LONG HAIR AND EARRINGS

zhao1988 | 05 Februar, 2010 09:51

SANTIAGO, Mar. 11 (IPS) -- The start of the school year in Chile has high school students gearing up to fight what they consider discriminatory dress codes enforced at several public and religious schools in Santiago.

Long hair and earrings are out for young men, who must show up with a tie, and female students sporting miniskirts and make-up are not allowed through the doors at Gabriela Mistral High School in the north-central Santiago municipality of Independencia, as well as other schools in the Tiffany 1837 Bar key ring.

Three attorneys have filed a lawsuit with the Santiago Appeals Court against Independencia Mayor Antonio Garrido, who is heading the offensive. The lawyers argue that the dress code enforced by Garrido -- a former boxer and a right-wing National Renovation Party (PRN) militant -- violates the constitution's guarantee of equality.

Authorities at the Juan Gomez Millas High School in the southern Santiago municipality of El Bosque also followed Garrido's lead on Monday.

Student leaders at three schools called this week for the creation of a student federation to fight Tiffany Circle clasp necklace discriminatory measures like strict dress codes, and received the implicit support of Deputy Minister of Education Jaime Perez de Arce, who called the measures "outdated."

Uniforms are used in public schools in Chile, although according to the government they are not mandatory. In a number of private schools, there has been a movement towards eliminating uniforms and dress codes.

The debate on dress codes has also highlighted other forms of discrimination in Chile's schools, where pregnant and disabled students as well as the children of single parents or annulled marriages -- Chile has no divorce law -- frequently face forms of exclusion.

Mayor Garrido, who said he was not worried about the lawsuit lodged against him, told the press that "long hair, buns and earrings were made for women."

Commenting on Deputy Minister Perez de Arce's criticism of his position on long hair in schools, Garrido said "I am doing the right thing, and I won't back off even if the entire government comes to talk to me."

"I have even been congratulated from abroad," he added, "and many parents have thanked me because at last they discovered that their sons have ears."

In the public schools of Independencia, not only long-haired heavy metal fans have been shut out of school, but all male students whose hair extends below their shirt collars or covers their ears.

Gonzalo Downey, Gonzalo Zuniga and David Riquelme, the student leaders who have called for the creation of a student federation to defend "freedom and respect," told the press that "no one has demonstrated a correlation between hair-length or the use of earrings and discipline or school performance."

Deputy Minister Perez de Arce stressed that a climate of freedom and tolerance was necessary for the Heart and Tiffany Box Charm reforms President Eduardo Frei aims to implement.

PRN Deputy Arturo Longton, who represents the district in which Independencia is located, said it was a shame that Garrido belonged to his party, and came out in support of the suit filed with the Appeals Court.

Longton refuted Garrido's claim that short hair was a natural condition of the male sex, pointing out that throughout history, long hair has been predominant.

Girl with a Pearl Earring

zhao1988 | 04 Februar, 2010 09:13

The scant confirmed facts about the life of Vermeer, and the relative paucity of his masterworks, continues to be provoke to the literary imagination, as witnessed by this third fine fictional work on the Dutch artist in the space of 13 months. Not as erotic or as deviously suspenseful as Katharine Weber's The Music Lesson, or as original in conception as SusanAtlas cuff linksinterlinked short stories, Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Chevalier's first novel succeeds on its own merits. Through the eyes of its protagonist, the modest daughter of a tile maker who in 1664 is forced to work as a maid in the Vermeer household because her father has gone blind, Chevalier presents a marvelously textured picture of 17th-century Delft. The physical appearance of the city is clearly delineated, as is its rigidly defined class system, the grinding poverty of the working people and the prejudice against Catholics among the Protestant majority. From the very first, 16-year-old narrator Griet establishes herself as a keen observer who sees the world inElsa Peretti Eternal Circle cuff linksimages, expressed in precise and luminous prose. Through her vision, the personalities of coolly distant Vermeer, his emotionally volatile wife, Catharina, his sharp-eyed and benevolently powerful mother-in-law, Maria Thins, and his increasing brood of children are traced with subtle shading, and the strains and jealousies within the household potently conveyed. With equal skill, Chevalier describes the components of a painting: how colors are mixed from apothecary materials, how the composition of a work is achieved with painstaking care. She also excels in conveying the inflexible class system, making it clear that to members of the wealthy elite, every member of the servant class is expendable. Griet is almost ruined when Vermeer, impressed by her instinctive grasp of color and composition, secretly makes her his assistant, and later demands that she pose for him wearing Catharina's pearl earrings. While Chevalier develops the tension of this situation with skill, several other devices threaten to rob the narrative of its credibility. Griet's ability to suggest to Vermeer how to improve a painting demands one stretch of the reader's imagination. And Vermeer's acknowledgment of his debt to her, revealed in the denouement, is a blatant nod to sentimentality.Return to Tiffany Cuff linkshis is a completely absorbing story with enough historical authenticity and artistic intuition to mark Chevalier as a talented newcomer to the literary scene.

OWNING IT: Earrings

zhao1988 | 30 Januar, 2010 02:39

A gift from her mother, the earrings have dangled from Sharyl Stanley's lobes nearly every day for 27 years, well, except for the times she's lost one. Anyone who wears earrings knows that when one disappears, it's usually gone forever. But with Stanley, every time she's lost half of this pair she's found it, even though once it took two years. Black oynx Toggle necklaceThey're silver with a pale purple stone Stanley believes is amethyst. It's like the center of a flower, surrounded by silver pedals. Check them out when Stanley's at work at the Stewart's on Route 29 in Saratoga Springs, just east of the Northway.

So, Sharyl, you've lost and found one of these earrings how many times now?

Let's see ... four times. The first time I'd had them about a week. I was out shoveling snow, and when I went in the house I noticed it was gone. We'd had maybe 4 feet of snow. There was no way I was going to find it.

I threw the other earring in a jewelry box and thought maybe I'd put it on a chain and wear it as a necklace. Then spring came, and I went out on the front porch, and the sun was shining. I just happened to see something sparkling, and there it was, as shiny as if I had just bought it in the store.

And the next time?

That happened maybe eight, 10 years ago. I had moved, and I lost one of the earrings while moving. And again, I assumed, well, forget it. But when I went to move again two years later, I moved the bed, and there, at the head of the bed, sticking part way out from the leg, was the earring.

That's still a mystery to me, because I had vacuumed undevalentines jewelryr there and pulled the bed away from the wall and looked for shoes under the bed. But there it was. I'd found it again.

And the next time?

I'd been at my daughter's, and they have like three acres of land, and we'd been all over the place. I got back to my house and walked upstairs and went to take my earrings out, and I went, 'Oh no, I've lost my earring.' I looked around the house, and I said, 'Oh my God, not again.'

My grandson went back and found it on the bed in my daughter's RV. I'd leaned over the bed looking for an electric outlet, and I guess it fell out then.

OK Sharyl, there's one more time, right?

This happened just after Christmas, this past Christmas. I'd put them down on the nightstand next to my bed. I'd had some cheese and crackers or something, and one of the earrings must have gotten hooked to the plate. I'd scraped off the crumbs into the trash and put the plate in the dishwasher. I looked on the floor and stuff, and then I figured I must have thrown my earring out.

The next day I went outside and had to look through three bags oFrank Gehry Fish necklacef garbage. My mother had a wicked cold, and she'd been blowing her nose, and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe I'm doing this.' When I got to the bottom of one of the bags, I found the earring. It was in some shepherd's pie potatoes we'd had the night before.

How in the world can you explain that you've always found these earrings?

I think they're magic, I guess, because they came from my mother. I probably have 20 earrings in my jewelry box, really nice ones, that I've lost one of the earrings and never found it. But this one just pops up all the time. They're my heirloom earrings, I tell my mother. I'll pass them on, if I don't lose them.

Dwobble to and fro? It may be a children's song, but for many fashionistas it's a reality. With the growing popularity of "the bigger the better" earrings, earlobes are becoming strained and pulled out of shape.

But there's a new product on store shelves that claims to solve the problem of saggy earlobes.

The EarLift by Telebrands Corp. is medical grade invisible ear lobe support tape.

The product box claims EarLifts will supportTiffany 1837 concove circle cufflinks stretched or torn ear lobes, relieve strain from heavy earrings and prevent further stretching.

But does the support tape actually work as the packaging says it does?

The instructions are simple.

Apply one EarLift tape patch on the back of the ear lobe and press firmly to secure. That's it. Just slide your earring on as usual, including through the support tape. The packaging for the product, as well as the company's Web site, show before and after photos that are drastically different. In some, it looks almost as if the problem never existed. But are the photos too good to be true? Eh, sort of. Although the patch did aid in some support for the earring, the ear still sagged. The iFrank Gehry Fish cuff linksnstructions call for only using one of the 60 included pre-cut tape circles. But we decided to try two, just to see how that worked. There wasn't much difference. So the patches do give a little oomph to a droopy lobe. But in no way is it as miraculous as the pictures and packaging claim. This product didn't really work.

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH: MODEL AS, EARRINGS AND MACHINE GUNS

zhao1988 | 22 Januar, 2010 07:49

The traffic light finally turned green after what seemed like an eternity at the intersection of King and Washington Streets. Aunt Maxie eased off the clutch, allowing the old '29 Ford Model A to slowly pick up speed as they headed up-town.

The streets were lined with stately houses covered in whitewash with magnificent lawns and landscaping. Along the way people would wave, and the occasional dog would chase after the black sedan. In the seat beside Aunt Maxie was a young girl no more than 10 years old preoccupied with the offerings of the Woolworth's Five and Dvalentines giftsime store situated on the square in Quincy, Fla. It was a Saturday afternoon, which meant this curly-headed girl and her aunt would make the rounds picking up necessities for the upcoming week. If she was lucky, they might even stop and take in a movie or even get an ice cream at the drugstore. The ride uptown lasted but a few minutes; however, Charlotte squirmed in her seat as Aunt Maxie would tell her to sit up and behave. The old Ford was somewhat of an embarrassment to the young girl so she would often slouch down to avoid being seen by her friends. Quincy was quite the small town back in those days, and it was not uncommon to know nearly everyone in town.

Charlotte had endured the tragic loss of her mother and the painful separation from a brother who had even been placed in an orphanage for a brief period of time. But, as the years passed, the young girl became a Girl Scout, played in the Gadsden County High School band and boarded a bus to further her education at Lees McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., all under the watchful eye of her stern but loving aunt. Upon graduation, she became a school teacher and shortly afterward married her high school sweetheart, a newly commissioned Air Force aviation cadet.

Santa Rosa, N.M., was the site of my parent's marriage. They began their honeymoon by going to a movie. It wasn't an expensive wedding, and there weren't any bridesmaids or groomsmen, just a justice of the peace and two young people completely devoted to each other.

She and my father, a career Air Force officer raised three children while traveling the world. Paris, Stuttgart and Jakarta were among the places we called home. She was the devoted military spouse who spent countless hours waiting and worrying while her husband flew aircraft through all sorts of weather and 12 months of combat missions in Vietnam. She managed the affairs of raising children with homework, piano lessons and Boy Scouts in her husband's absence. She, like so many other women, are worthy of accolades that may never have been bestowed and were certainly never expected. They went about tReturn to Tiffany Bead Braceletheir daily lives quietly and passionately keeping their families together.

This same perseverance and work ethic are seen in women today, not only on the homefront, but also serving on the frontlines in combat or hazardous duty zones everyday. Their story is compelling.

The guard mount Airmen came early this morning as they have every day since arriving in Iraq. Quickly, the Airmen gather for the day's briefing to include information on the weather, the scope of the mission, and relevant intelligence matters that may have developed over the preceding 12 hours. The mood is somber. The coffee is strong.

Scattered amongst the troops are women performing the mission right alongside their male counterparts. Some of the men are built like linebackers and lumberjacks; great big guys who pride themselves on lifting weights for hours and running countless miles to stay in shape. I would imagine their grocery bills back home are enormous.

The lights are low in the briefing tent this morning, allowing the computer screen slides to be more easily read from the rear of the tent. Something reflective catches my eye that for the moment seems completely out of place. I scan the assembled men and women and quickly realize that what I had seen from the rear of the tent was the sharp reflection of a tiny earring that one of the female Airmen was wearing. Sitting among these Air Force patriots was a young female Airman about half the size of her male counterparts. I wish Norman Rockwell could have been present as this picture was nothing short of priceless. She wasn't the only young woman in the group this morning. There were several.

It wasn't a shock to see the women present. No, far from it. But what was different was the perspective I have now gained regarding women preparing to roll out on a combat patrol. The reflection oReturn to Tiffany heart lock charm and braceletf her earring was more than the usual radiance from of a simple piece of jewelry. It was a symbolic reminder how far women have come and how much they have accomplished.

Here at this moment in time, I experience in full clarity a complete understanding of the scope of the contribution these women make, as I remember my mother's contributions. Here before me are servicewomen: some of whom are married, some who are single, some who have children and some who do not. They are truck commanders, drivers and machine gunners. They wear the same body armor that the men wear despite some of the dramatic physical differences in size and muscle mass. These ladies are tough and they take incredible pride in the work they perform and the mission they accomplish. They are part of a team creating a formidable fighting force to be reckoned with - they are Air Force Airmen!

March is Women's History Month. I would like to take this opportunity to offer a salute to all the women in our great country for their many contributions that all too often go unmentioned and unrewarded. To the many mothers, wives, spouses and servicewomen from Quincy, Fla., to Camp Bucca, Iraq, and all points in-between, thank you for your service and continued support. May God bless you.For more information please contact: Sarabjit Jagirdar, Email:- htsyndication@hindustantimes.com.
