			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout the years the toy market has seen many toys come and go but few have the staying power and the unique business relationship of the <a href="http://www.enespera.net/tag/toys/" target="_blank">Teddy Bear</a>. Let&#8217;s explore this unique story of this classic toy and a piece of American heritage.</p>
<p>It was November 1902 and our president at the time, Theodore Roosevelt went on a hunting excursion to Mississippi. The trip was business and pleasure: He was there to try to settle a restrain take exception between Mississippi and Louisiana and a hunting excursion for the president, who loved the sport.</p>
<p>But on that particular day, the hunt did not go as plotted as President Roosevelt could not find a suitable target to his liking. However, his staff, in an effort to accommodate him, someway managed to capture a Louisiana black bear cub for him to shoot and tied it to a tree. The purview of shooting a baby bear tied to a tree did not seem sporting to the accomplished outdoorsman and he refused, instead sparing the life of the <a href="http://www.enespera.net/tag/toys/" target="_blank">black bear cub</a> and setting it free.</p>
<p>Mr. Clifford Berryman, a famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star at the time, drew a cartoon titled, Drawing The Line In Mississippi, depicting the President letting the bear live, and using the story as a metaphor as for how the president dealt with the boundary dispute.</p>
<p>The cartoon also showed the President with his whirl and his back turned on the cute, cowering, baby bear. This gave Brooklyn toy retentiveness owner, Morris Michtom the inspiration for a display for his shop.</p>
<p>He placed a copy of the newspaper cartoon next to a hand-sewn stuffed bear his wife made in the window of his store. To his surprise, he was overcome with customers eager to buy his stuffed bear!</p>
<p>Michtom quickly requested and received President Theodore Roosevelt&#8217;s permission to use his name for the stuffed bears that he and his wife were now selling. Thus the <a href="http://www.enespera.net/tag/toys/" target="_blank">teddy bear</a> was born, and soon Michtom was producing the bears by the thousands. With the net from the sales of the teddy bears Michtom went on to form the apotheosis Toy Company.</p>
<p>Teddy bears continue to be best friends to children of all ages all over the world. Their mass appeal will never go out of style and they are a true classic to, albeit, with a little presidential help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>changer&#8217; id=&#8217;spin_1&#8242; onclick=&#8217;ShowSpinOptions(1)&#8217;&gt;JEWELRY FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY</p>
<p>It is difficult to write with authority on the twentyfirst century as it has really only just begun. Projections can be made but there is no telling what this century truly has in store in terms of societal changes, and developments in art and design. What is already clear is the wondrous surge of creativity across all mediums of art and design disciplines. Older ideas and dogmas gal-vanized in the twentieth century are being chal&shy;lenged. One of the most visible changes is the return of ornament to the forefront. Advances in computer and manufacturing technologies have led to the introduction of new materials and modes of production. While it is doubtful that the rise of the luxury brands will be stanched completely, there has been a shift in the concept of luxury from the attainment of desired con-sumer goods and services, spurred by the effects of the Industrial Revolution, to being more experience-based: the luxuries of time, travel and self-fulfillment.</p>
<p>Following the democratization of &#8216;luxury&#8217; that occurred afterwards in the twentieth century, what begins to emerge are more complex notions of specialness and exclusivity in relation to physical objects, surrounding a renewed interest in the origin of products, inclusive of materials, the method of manufacture and the stage of crafts-manship involved, whether it be handmade or innovative computer-aided manufacture.</p>
<p><em>Contemporary jewelry fits happily into these </em><em>new modes of thought, and since the 1970s has </em><em>developed in two different directions. There is work that references goldsmithing&#8217;s traditional craftsmanship, in particular concerned with wearability and incorporating varied interpreta-tions of beauty, and work with a more abstract emphasis; the ability to transmit a message or to analyse form and adapt and relate it to the body. Fashion is now firmly structured around seasonal reinventions of product with the tendency to recycle ideas and inspirations; however, change is afoot, cross-pollination is occurring, and figures from the design world with their notions of time-lessness, technological innovation and ethnical relevance are being approached for the input of ideas.</em></p>
<p><em>Studio jewelry</em></p>
<p><em>Studio jewelry has developed and grown since </em><em>its inception in the 1960s, gaining a wider </em><em>audience, and has begun to be considered an accessible art form rich in both ideas and pos-</em><em>sibilities. Function continues to be a concern </em><em>for many contemporary jewellers but their work now often encompasses performance art and </em><em>conceptual ideas. It is seen to engage with design, </em><em>in particular architecture, fine art, and a range of applied art disciplines. A dialogue is developing between the embracing of increasingly innovative technology, the return to traditional hand skills and an organic approach to ornamentation and form. Issues surrounding the practices of sustainability and recycling are gaining ground and inform the jewelry making of many contemporary practi-tioners. Themes and subjects are wide-ranging and, in addition to aesthetic concerns, we see ideas expressed pertaining to cultural identity, the psyche and memory, existential thought and conceptions of value and preciousness.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you shopping for a new <a href="http://www.catchersglove.org" target="_blank">catchers glove</a> this season ? I was, but after using an ancient  Spaulding catchers mitt for so many seasons , I was a little unsure  about new selections . it seems like all the big baseball glove manufacturers are making their own version of the strange looking glove, and this is making them even more of an  conversation piece on the diamond .</p>
<p>I saw a  red and green  glove with the American flag stitched across the back. I also saw a glove rimmed in a neon accent color, apparently to help  mark the target when framing strikes. Not to be outdone, the Nokona glove people are making a very  custom glove. When I inquired about it, I was told it was Kangaroo leather.</p>
<p>My own baseball carreer was  obscured by a very bad economy and very few of the very good  players were able to take time from working to engage in such  foolish activities as baseball. If those men would look  today at the price of some of these <a href="http://www.customizedbaseballgloves.com" target="_blank">customized baseball gloves</a>, they may indeed have heart failure .</p>
<p>In my opinion , the glove today is vastly superior than in the past, but the level of play is not that much different in youth baseball. Once in the high end and even in MLB it is quite different, but should we really justify the expense for these high end gloves at such an early age?</p>
<p>If you are unsure what to buy or even where to look, I have news for you . It&#8217;s going to be tough and you&#8217;ll need to search some websites that specifically talk  about the&nbsp; <a href="http://www.catchersglove.org" target="_blank">catchers glove</a> because there is a lot of new information.</p>
<p>The seemingly endless selection  is expanding to include youth baseball gloves as well. Not to be outdone by the big guys , these miniature versions of the catchers glove are lovely to look at and demand a heavy price tag. If you are determined to raise a catcher, you&#8217;d better get him or her comfortable with the right glove. And it&#8217;s never too early to start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With regards to fashion accessories, <a href="http://goldcupjewelry.com/category/buy/necklace">necklaces</a> and bracelets  are unequivocally the favorite. Selecting what design to wear with each outfit is indeed vast it can easily some times become quite daunting. Let&#8217;s take a look at a few fundamental tips and suggestions that might direct you towards making a final choice.</p>
<p>At the start  you have to determine  whether you are wearing your jewelry for the entire day and  evening or if it is pure day wear or only as evening  wear. If you will be putting it on purely in the daytime you ought  to choose an item that is not too flashy. Everybody loves a small amount of bling, though  the emphasis needs to be on - little! You  don&#8217;t want to be sitting in a board meeting  with accessories which might be more suited to the opera!</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve taken out the very shiny  jewelry you can then decide on which of the ones left would go best with your chosen clothes. Invest time to  determine the unique look you are  trying to achieve. If elegance  is most important for your  requirements, you  may never go wrong with a string or  two of <a href="http://goldcupjewelry.com/category/buy/pearls">pearls</a> in your jewelry box. Pearls seldom date and each outfit demands an  alternative design. Picture a smart cream suit with a pearl  choker; elegance itself.</p>
<p>Casual clothes worn in daytime are the easiest  to accessorize. It is possible to just throw on your favourite gold or silver  necklaces. Remember though when it comes to gold and silver <a href="http://goldcupjewelry.com/">jewelry</a> worn around the  neck, less is usually more. If you are  trying to be more adventurous then you need to wear a piece of craft wear. Possibly a hand woven choker or hand carved  charm.</p>
<p>So often we find ourselves pressed for time and unable to return home between  work and an evening engagement. The quickest way around this dilemma would be to pick clothes that can be accessorized for both day and evening. Before leaving for  work grab a small bag with your evening jewelry in it.</p>
<p>Once the day has finally come to an end and it is time to get ready for the  evening arrangement simply whip out your bag of evening goodies. Be sure you have a rather darker  lipstick available as this adds a bit of drama to your ensemble. Now start  putting your evening look together. Make sure you have brought along lots of glitter. You want to dazzle people  when you walk into the room. If you do not have enough  sparkle around your neck and ears then you can always add a beautiful hair  slide with all manner of jewels embedded in it.</p>
<p>One last tip before you buy your neck wear. Take the time to examine your neck.  What type of neck do you have? Long necked people are lucky enough to be able  to wear most chains and chokers, but should avoid strands of beads that  are overly long. People who have slightly shorter  necks should be wary of purchasing chokers because they can shorten even a long neck. Take these guidelines  and enjoy browsing through all the neck jewelry knowing that you will be buying  the necklaces which might be right for you.</p>
