That's G for Genius!!       When one of my commercial tanning beds quit on me last week I was shook! With only three tanning units in my salon, it is critical that all three beds are in running order.  But I just started this business, so, I surely don't have extra cash to be throwing at high-priced (or even low-priced) electricians.       I hit google to see what information I could find.  I know that when the problem first began, all of the lights in the bed would flicker while the timer was running.  This was strange to me and as I tried to make sense of it, I turned the timer off and back on a few times.  After about the third try, the bed wouldn't even attempt to light.      I read and read... and then read some more.  I wanted to understand how a tanning bed worked, so that I could somehow troubleshoot the problem.  I went to tanning bed parts destributor websites ...

It's going to be a good year!!  "...One new business that made downtown East Liverpool its home last year is One Stop Tanning on Walnut Street. In fact, owner April Galloway says she'll be celebrating its one-year anniversary on Feb. 22. She is also preparing to hire on her friend Mary Wymer to co-manage the establishment with her. Galloway believes that too many local residents work in Youngstown, Pittsburgh or other outside communities, contributing to a brain-drain that inevitably draws people away from East Liverpool. "Let's build our own community," Galloway said with emphasis. Towards that end, she says she has been talking with other downtown business owners about how to make it happen. Galloway admits that downtown revitalization will be a difficult path, but says that it is important enough to make the effort. "I think the most important thing is for small businesses to keep going, keep trying," she said. Read the F...

I crocheted this blanket for my Mum!  As you can see, it was worth the work!

Utopia is a name for an ideal community or society, which is taken from Of the Best State of Republic, and the New Island Utopia, a book written in 1516 by Sir Thomas More describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, possessing a seemingly perfect socio-politico-legal system. A dystopia is a vision of an often futuristic society, which has developed into a negative version of utopia.  A dystopia is often characterized by an authoritarian or totalitarian form of government. It often features different kind of repressive social control systems, a lack or total absence of individual freedoms and expressions and a state of constant warfare or violence.

            I have always had a special relationship with nature.  As a child, I can remember frequently taking a notebook into the woods, at the end of the road from our house.  I would venture deep enough in to be completely engulfed in trees and search for the perfect spot from which I would have the most beautiful view.  Alone I would sit, perched on my rock or log of my choice.  After taking in the impact of my surroundings, I would write or draw in my little notebooks. In all these years, I don't think I've ever come up with the words that can explain the solace I feel in the woods.              In my early twenties I discovered Beaver Creek State Park.  It quickly became one of my most favorite places to be.  For me, it was another escape. I could venture through the woods for hours.  Instead of the stresses of every-day life clou...
