Get Started in Jewelry Design: These Books Will Show You How
The techniques of creating jewelry are pretty simple, but the artistry involved requires an understanding of design basics in order to be successful. Taking a course in jewelry design at a local art school or continuing ed program is great, but if that's not possible, or if you want to expand your understanding of jewelry design beyond your instructor's approach, then one or more of these books will give you a great start.
Author Elizabeth Olver takes both the subject of jewelry design and her readers seriously in her book The Art of Jewelry Design: From Idea to Reality (North Light Books, 2002). The book combines detailed hand-drawn illustrations and dramatic full-color photographs with solid content covering essential design tools, stages of the design process, the various elements of jewelry design and creative concepts involved in successful jewelry design. Creative concepts, as defined by Olver and enumerated in the book's table of contents, include "organic, geometric, abstract, figurative, narrative, symbolic, icons, fashion, fine, series," and "sculptural." This book will help you find your own unique style of jewelry making based on a solid understanding of design.
If your taste in jewelry runs to beads, The Book of Beads: A Practical and Inspirational Guide to Beads and Jewelry Making, by authors Janet Coles and Robert Budwig (Simon & Schuster, 1990), covers the basics of designing jewelry with beads and then presents detailed instructions for a variety of projects. The book also contains many photos and descriptions of a multitude of beads and covers the process involved in creating earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and decorative brooches.
More basic but a lot of fun, The Art of Making Jewelry, by Deborah Krupenia, Tammy Powley, and Jessica Wrobel (Thunder Bay Press, 2005), covers the tools and materials used in jewelry making, including standard glass, metal, and ceramic supplies as well as more unusual materials such as paper and papier mache. The book offers specific instructions for a wide range of projects using a variety of techniques, and profiles twenty well-known jewelry artists and their work.
Each book illustrates basic techniques but then takes them into very different directions, resulting in a wide range of artistic styles that can act as inspiration to the fledgling jewelry designer. Each one individually offers a solid technical understanding of jewelry-making; together they provide an excellent introduction to the creative range available in this unique art form.

After 28 million records sold worldwide, 5 Grammy nominations, and more #1 hits and weeks at #1 than any other artist in history at Adult Top 40 and Modern AC, Melisma/Atlantic recording group matchbox twenty is overdue for a Greatest Hits package. In order to create something truly special for their fans, the band returned to the studio to record their first new material in five years. Grammy-winning producer Steve Lillywhite oversaw the sessions in L.A., marking the band s first work with the renowned producer - whose credits include the likes of U2, The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, and many others. Out of the session came six brand-new songs, turning the package into a new EP with a bonus of 11 matchbox twenty hits. The new tracks also mark their first recordings as a foursome.

The Wire - The Complete First Season
The Wire - The Complete First Season
After one episode of The Wire you'll be hooked. After three, you'll be astonished by the precision of its storytelling. After viewing all 13 episodes of the HBO series' remarkable first season, you'll be cheering a bona-fide American masterpiece. Series creator David Simon was a veteran crime reporter from The Baltimore Sun who cowrote the book that inspired TV's Homicide, and cowriter Ed Burns was a Baltimore cop, lending impeccable street-cred to an inner-city Baltimore saga (and companion piece to The Corner) that Simon aptly describes as "a visual novel" and "a treatise on institutions and individuals" as opposed to a conventional good-vs.-evil police procedural. Owing a creative debt to the novels of Richard Price (especially Clockers), the series opens as maverick Detective Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West, in a star-making role) is tapping into a vast network of drugs and death around southwest Baltimore's deteriorating housing projects. With a mandate to get results ASAP, a haphazard team is assembled to join McNulty's increasingly complex investigation, built upon countless hours of electronic surveillance.
The show's split-perspective plotting is so richly layered, so breathtakingly authentic and based on finely drawn characters brought to life by a perfect ensemble cast, that it defies concise description. Simon, Burns, and their cowriters control every intricate aspect of the unfolding epic; directors are top-drawer (including Clark Johnson, helmer of The Shield's finest episodes), but they are servants to the story, resulting in a TV series like no other: unpredictable, complicated, and demanding the viewer's rapt attention, The Wire is "an angry show" (in Simon's words) that refuses to comfort with easy answers to deep-rooted societal problems. Moral gray zones proliferate in a universe where ruthless killers have a logical code, and where the cops are just as ambiguous as their targets. That ambiguity extends to the ending as well; season 1 leaves several issues unresolved, leaving you begging for the even more impressive developments that await in season 2. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Review: I'll say it too: the best show on television
Last night, I watched the last episode of the last season of The Wire. I was truly sad that the show had ended. No more McNulty, Bunk, Prop Joe, Bubbles and, yes, even Marlo. After five seasons I feel like I know these people.
Other reviewers have commented eloquently on how good this show is. I guess I'll just add that if you're into multi-character shows with long plot arcs, like Lost or Battlestar: Galactica, take a step up and try Season 1 of The Wire. I love those shows, but The Wire is in a different league. You have to be willing to pay attention and invest the time as the multiple, intertwined plots and realistic characterizations unfold, and you won't be spoon-fed a shocking plot twist and/or cliffhanger each week. But you will not see a better television show.
Customer Review: Can't believe they cancelled this masterpiece
I just finished the first season of the WIRE last week and all i have to say is WOW!!!!!. This is most realistic drama i have ever seen. The characters are deep, compelling and all flawed in some way. Wheather it is McNulty's manipulation of the system, Bunk's drinking, Daniel's ambition. Every character in this series has a depth to them that is rarely seen in a Television show. Gone is the unfallable courageous protagonist and or the evil super villain, In thier place lie good guys who aren't always so good and bad guys who aren't always that bad. This show is a masterpiece and should be treasured. granted this show is not for everone. the crime violence can be very graphic and if you just want to sit and watch a show without any thought or attention to detail than this is certainly not for you. This show is as rich in content and realism as any I've seen and is a must see for all Crime drama fans or any fan of a great story. I already purchased season 2 and 3 from AMAZON and cannnot wait to continue the journey.

Vegetarian Guide to Diet and Salad by Dr. Norman Walker
Vegetarian Guide to Diet and Salad by Dr. Norman Walker Features & SpecificationsVegetarian Guide to Diet and Salad by Dr. Norman Walker Book DescriptionBoth a Recipe book and nutritional guide, "Diet and Salad" belongs in every homemaker's kitchen. The chemical elements in food--protein, amino acids, milk starches, etc.--are clearly explained. Recipes by the dozen are supplied.About the AuthorDr. Norman Walker is the longest-lived, widely-known raw-foodist of the modern era. Thousands upon thousands of people credit Dr. Walker's live-vegetable-juice therapy for healing them of "incurable" diseases, including Jay Kordich, known to the world as "The Juiceman." When Jay Kordich had cancer, he met and was tremendously inspired by Dr. Walker. After healing himself of cancer through The Raw-Food Diet and juice therapy, Jay worked with Dr. Walker beginning in the 1940s up until Dr. Walker's death in the mid-80's at an age of well over 100.For more than 100 years, Norman W. Walker, Ph.D., proved through research and experience that well-being and long life go hand-in-hand. Through the non-stop activities of raw-food enthusiasts, such as Nature's First Law, modern day nutritionists and medical researchers are finally discovering the raw truths which Dr. Walker knew and taught throughout the twentieth century. Dr. Walker was living proof that a longer, healthier, more enjoyable life is achieved through The Raw-Food Diet, mental poise, and intelligent body care. Dr. Walker's contributions to the common heritage of humankind began before the turn of the century in London, where as a young man he became seriously ill due to over-work and stress. Unable to accept a sentence of ill-health and early death, Dr. Walker healed himself with living foods and vegetable juices. Among Dr. Walker's greatest contributions was his discovery of the therapeutic value of fresh vegetable juices and in 1930, the development of what would become known as the Norwalk Press Juicer.
