Antiques for the Table - A Complete Guide to Dining Room Accessories for Collecting and Entertaining (2nd Edition)

 

This book is a must for those who truly enjoy a great table!

The photos are magnificent and is beautifully written. I found that I learned a LOT by simply looking at the photos of china, crystal and glassware. From this book alone, I chose my sterling silver flatware and china patterns and have never regretted it! The book also gives ideas on simple room decorations as well - even though this is not a primary focus of the book itself. I really can't say enough good about this book.

Review by Albert Hoff

The ultimate guide to quality tabletop antiques for those of us who cannot get enough of these kind of "pretties". Have owned this book for 10+ years, and still "pour" over it, can never get enough of it!! Besides being informative, the pictures are literally intoxicating. If you love all things old and elegant (nothing shabby here) for dining and entertaining, this is the book for you. If you look at decorating books and get disgusted with cookie cutter tablewear, or you would die before going into a Pottery Barn or Pier One, this is the book for you. Tasteful, classic, traditional and always in style. Like a very wealthy elderly MD once told me, "anyone can have new things". Ladies, if you think like me, you will totally understand this! 

From my point of view this book offers a unique content that any antique lover could use.

Marine corps marathon

The most popular marathon in country was held. This event has a huge effort when securing a smooth organization. The whole event was covered by mass media. Jacob Bradosky was the fastest man to complete 42195 meters

The Pentagon ordered a tightening of security in the DC for the Marine Corps Marathon Sunday. References from the Pentagon after a series of shootings in the Marine Corps Museum are reported.

Marine Corps Marathon is a marathon, 26.2 miles, which takes place every year. This year, the Marine Corps Marathon will celebrate its 35th Birthday, and thousands of Marines committed to attend the event. How many Marines wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan wars to participate in Marine Corps Marathon Sunday in a wheelchair. Perhaps the biggest concern for the organizers of both events is security. Pentagon has ordered for tighter security in the D.C. area for the Sunday’s Marine Corps Marathon.

Forces that competed have showed excellent endurance and overall physical conditioning.

Daylight savings time 2010

The time of the year when we change our clock one hour back has come. Probably most of us need to change our sleep schedule.

The adjusting of clocks is not some random crazy law, but, instead an attempt to save energy by taking advantage of the sun and light during the 8 month period from March through October. The practice began back during World War I as an effort to save energy for the War effort.

DST also return on 14 March in the U.S. and Canada. As soon as the clocks were reset this weekend, we are considered to be in “Time.” As changes occur every six months, many have become confused about what direction they should turn their clocks.
Many also wonder if they will receive more or less sleep as a result of changes in time. Because time goes back an hour, you will actually get an hour more sleep this weekend as a result.

This change comes good to people that like to sleep late!

Time change fall 2010

Each year we need to change our clocks to daylight saving time, this 2010 is the same. The clock from Sunday 3 AM turns into 2 AM. This time change makes more daylight at afternoon, and less in the morning.

No matter where you live, you will gain an extra hour of sleep. Despite the fact that the process has been taking place for 35 years now, twice a year people in 70 countries who have adopted this system still pose the same age old question – are we switching to summer time or winter time before fixing their clocks.

In spring, the government decided to advance the legal time 60 minutes. In the fall, we get back to the usual time. But do you ever wonder why does the time change biannually?

My advice for you is to take the most of this time change and get a good sleep.
