Online Dating – Your Online Profile Is All Wrong

Nothing is worse than spending your time setting up (what you believe!) a perfect profile, and end up not getting the results you hoped for! Your inbox is filled with dud after dud!

Your online profile is all wrong, if you are not getting good results.

If you continue to receive emails from Singles you would never have any interest in, then my first question is; do you state clearly on your profile what the ideal person for you would be?

So many Singles tell me they want someone athletic but they continue to receive emails from Singles that are really thin, or really overweight.

My question to them is always; “does your profile clearly state you are looking for someone athletic?” The expression on their face is best described as someone watching paint dry!

I decide to check myself! No where in their profile do they state the type of “build” they are looking for! If you don’t state what you want, don’t be surprised at what you get!

Your online profile is all wrong if you continue to get lewd, obscene and vulgar remarks. When Singles tell me they are going to take their profile down because online dating just isn’t for them. [...] Continue Reading…

A History of Tapestry – Part Two

Pre-Columbian AmericaIt was the Andean Indian cultures of ancient Peru who produced the most accomplished weaving in pre-Columbian America. The technique of Tapestry weaving among these peoples dates back to the beginning of the Christian Era, and was well established by the 6th and 7th century. Tapestry was used to decorate garments and was often integral to the fabric itself. Surprisingly, due to the dry desert climate, a number of these weavings survived in Peruvian coastal burial sites. Examination of these relics reveals some of the most skilled and varied techniques of weaving ever present in any culture.The study of Spanish chronicles and ancient Peruvian pottery inform us that the weaving was generally done by greatly skilled women. Such was their skill that some of the relics discovered have been found with 150 to 250 weft threads per square inch. Most of the tapestries are polychrome as the use of natural dyes made for a vast range of colors. Strong colours were favored over more subtle graded tones, especially in the Inca period. The designs were often of geometric patterns, or human and animal figures. Plant motifs were uncommon.The viceroyalty of Peru, after the Spanish conquest, imported looms and [...] Continue Reading…
