Try a black elastic band
Or a couple colorful elastic Pony Tail bands. I was going to say the girls wear but my son wore them too back in his long hair days.

Well, since their country was overrun by foreigners...
Yep, who sold them glass beads. They were already making their own with shells, and stones but glass ones were cheaper.

I just received an email from Nikon announcing the pre-release order for their new Df camera. A beauty, based on the old Nikon body but digital inside. Only $2999.95 or so with 50mm lens. Good thing though is that it's compatible with these lenses: Enhanced Lens Mount
Works with all current AF-S,
AF-D and AF NIKKOR lenses,
AI (Aperture Index) and
non-AI lenses.
Drool, luckily I don't need one. I'll wait till it shows up in
SAMs Club.

I would buy American but even the beads the Indians use are foreign made.

Good idea but something does bother me about what you have said. Notice that your suggestions are service oriented. That is fine except that the real issue is the lack of American made goods to select from. Not talking about made elsewhere and assembled in the USA. While there are more products being made in the USA, we are a long ways from where we once were. Maybe we will never be as self dependent as we once were but we need to keep trying.
I agree. We've become a service nation now, not many American products left to buy. One may find a product that says "Assembled in the USA" but all parts are foreign. We may find an American McDonald's burger but the meat is probably counterfeit horse meat from Romania as it was here in France last year.
Even the Europeans are getting concerned. A news story last weekend followed French shoppers around and watched how they checked labels looking for French made products to buy. I had to smile as just that afternoon, my wife and I were shopping and I wanted to buy some socks. We carefully located those that were marked Made In France. In the US, I always wear Gold Toe socks but now they are sold at Sam's Club, made in China and they don't fit well.
I did find some very nice wool ones, French lamb wool, fine texture, made in France. As the other shoppers found, they were a few centimes more expensive, but excellent quality. So, I bought them, just as I would an equivalent American A to Z product if I could just find one.
I should say that I bought a Kia CE'ED here in France after comparing quality, cost, features, etc with Renault and Peugeot. Very high quality made, but not in Korea and imported. Kia wanted quality so they spent 1.1 Billion $ and built a new factory in Slovakia. My 2010 model is amongst first off the line and comes with 7 year warranty. No problems after 3 years other that door dings, and minor scrapes.
Renault and Peugeot are shutting down productions daily. VW/Audi are now being made in China too, like Cadillac as there is an upcoming market boom since the Chinese are becoming richer daily.
I'll took next week for American products when we return the USA. Wish me luck.

To me, what better justice than for him to spend eternity being kicked around by those he kicked around.

How about people on welfare will they be asked to sacrifice ?
Yes, those are fit will be asked to get off their fat asses and get a job. Welfare has become an industry for those skilled enough to avoid work. :thumbup:

It goes way beyond just our borders too. Google African Black crime rates in Canada, Autralia, UK, France, Germany, et al. Hmmm. Let's see - You can't blame it on being descendants of slaves outside our borders. So one has to ask why this is so? Obviously not all are criminals or even close to the majority but when they commit several times the violent crime than other races wherever they are then to ignore that fact is cowardly and dishonest. Facts are not racist, just facts.
Town square in Vallauris, famous for decorated pottery. We visited hoping to find shops and museums offering their wares but only found this scene at the entry to the Old Town of Vallauris. Loiterers, wearing the bright gang colors, rappin', etc, and they appear un-employed as it was a work day. We started up the street behind them to visit old town and backed out as it was a black ghetto. And, this is France, not any big town in USA.

These are a few items from an outdoor sculpture gallery in New Hampshire. The turning wheel of running feet was created as a commemoration for the 2013 Boston Marathon.
Your photos are great. Thanx for posting them.
