Golden Future
Stopped by my jeweler’s store today so he could fix my glasses. They do that for me while I wait, which is nice because it gives me a chance to look at all the jewelry in their display cases. I notice there was not much gold and asked him about that. He said that the price of gold has gotten so high that they are not carrying much gold any more. I actually already knew about the price of gold because my Dad taught me as a teenager to consider gold as an investment vehicle, not just something to wear around your neck on on your fingers. I knew about buying gold bullion before I could drive a car. Gold should be a part of anyone’s investment portfolio. You cannot rest easy if all your money in tied up in just one type of investment. My dad taught me that you must diversify and manage your portfolio throughout the year. You can buy gold bullion online now and it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how to do it! It is easy!

NY Coffee Guide: The Best Coffee in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
Brooklyn-baked Ovenly pastries sit in handsome jewelry display cases, and while the coffee is of the more rocket-fuel than tasting-note style, espresso drinks (brewed with Milwaukee-based Anodyne roasters’ espresso blend) are rich and flavorful. Bedford Hill Coffee Bar 343 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11238 ( map ) 718-636-7550; bedfordhillbrooklyn.com The Daily Press This newest member of Bed Stuy’s coffee posse is a diamond in the shadow of the Franklin Avenue Shuttle. Intelligentsia beans fuel the wee shop’s French Press and espresso program, while cappuccinos, macchiatos and lattes are sweetened by amazing Hudson Valley Direct dairies. The shop offers prepared bagels, 4th Street Cookies from Philadelphia, and an array to-go artisan breads and quality bottled milk that are sorely lacking in the community. The drinks are delicious��and the space is beautiful, carefully anointed with not too many antiques and strong nods to the community it’s a part of.

The collection
I found the first one hidden among a tray of gaudy costume jewelry in a display case at the local Waterfront Mission. I knew immediately what it was and asked the clerk if she could get it out for me to see. The black wooden beads polished to a high sheen, I could imagine them being worn smooth from years of use, thousands of prayers recited, thousands of Our Fathers and Hail Marys. The crucifix made of the same ebony wood as the beads, was accented with silver and stamped ‘Italy’ on the back. It felt like I had found a lost treasure and knew I would be taking it home. Having been raised in the Baptist Church, and married in a Presbyterian one, it felt slightly heretical to bring a Catholic relic into my house. I didn’t know how to pray a rosary, and at the time, knew nothing of substance about Catholicism. All I did know was that holding it in my hands, working my fingers around each bead, somehow felt right.

��Hope and Change�� or ��Bait and Switch��
Not by just a little, but by a margin so great that it is embarrassing. How did he get in over his head? Victor Davis Hanson’s theory is essentially that the Obama administration psyched itself into this error, first by imagining itself as the leader from behind the teleprompter of the Arab Wave, and second by thinking that by applying a little nudge here and nudge there they could remake the region. Egypt was the first gentle step, but the second step was a doozy. Second, Europe ��pushed�� him by upselling what was essentially their idea. Like a salesman who sees a customer returning again and again to a certain display case, Sarkozy pretended to buy the product beside it and by panicking the buyer who now imagined someone else would get his coveted item, sold him the paste in the jewelry display case. What visions momentarily danced in Barack’s head? Immortal fame was there for the taking. I remember wondering, ��why did he think the UN NFZ resolution was ��historical’?

Bacon…
This is the second night in a row I’ve had dreams I remembered when I woke up. In this one, I went to a small shop I could only get to via a long walkway. The shop looked like the sort that sells jewelry, only instead of jewelry in the display cases there was crispy slices of cooked bacon. I was apparently a regular at this shop, so, to show his appreciation, the shop owner gave me a single slice of bacon. I took it like it was a precious gift. I’m really not sure what brought this dream on. Anyway, switching gears, although I managed to write 3 posts in the past week I still have to write about 1 anime series, 2 books, 1 manga, and possibly 1 short story, so I’m still behind. My Hulu queue is going through another round of expirations, so I’m trying to finish up Spice & Wolf II (I highly recommend this series) and Soul Eater (Death the Kid is my favorite)

Freelancers Leaving the Comfort Zone
You are much more likely to catch the owner first thing in the morning than you are if you went in at say, 2:00 in the afternoon, when the owner may be in the back making a repair or assisting a customer who deserves the owner’s full attention. So you walk in to the store and you notice the owner laying out the jewelry displays in the cases like he or she does every morning. The owner looks up and says, ��Can I help you?��. You need to smile at this point and then walk over and introduce yourself. ��Hello my name is John Johnson and I own Web and Print Design on a Budget�� and you hand the owner your sell sheet. Miraculously, two things will now happen. The first thing is the owner will take your sell sheet from you because that’s what people do when you hand them something and the second thing is they will look at what you just gave them. Simple right? I never said this was rocket science.
