Brass Catalina
It Is Important To Be Able To Tell An Authentic Designer Bag From A Fake OneDesigner handbags, especially Gucci handbags, have always been a woman’s best friends--they enhance a simple ensemble, add elegance to an outfit and even become timeless heirlooms. With the prevalence of fake designer handbags though, it’s getting more and more difficult to tell an authentic designer bag from a fake one at first glance. There are surefire ways, though, to determine if what you’re spending your hard-earned money on is a real designer bag or not. The following are some tips to keep in mind to make sure you don’t get conned. Check materials and stitching. Fashion houses use great care in choosing materials for their designer bags. Check for cheap-looking materials and large, inconsistent or uneven stitching. While some designer bags are made of faux leather or PVC, because of current trends, most still use genuine, high-quality leather. There shouldn’t also be any loose stitching or hanging thread visible anywhere in the bag. Designer bags usually have clean, small, even stitching. Check the brand logos or the bag’s brand tag. The brass or metal brand tags or logos located on the bag should not be tarnished nor should it have spots. Also, as in Gucci handbags, the designer labels are stitched onto the bag and should not be hanging from a strip of carton on the handle. Most counterfeit handbags also have the labels misspelled. It’s common to see an additional (or missing) letter from the labels in a fake designer bag. Some fake bags even have different fonts and spacing between letters. Also, logos should be engraved on leather and not just stamped on it. Pay attention, especially to how the letters in the logos are shaped. Bring a photo with you for comparison. Check the bag’s lining. The lining inside the bag should be sturdy, shouldn’t feel like it will rip easily nor should its stitching be poorly done. The lining of fake designer handbags is very thin and cheaply made—one wrong move and they can rip as easily as paper. Also, most designers have their labels or logos monogrammed on the lining of the bags themselves. Their linings should also be sturdy, soft and silky to the touch. Check if the bag has an authenticity card. An authenticity card is like the passport of a designer bag. All designer bags have this to prove their authenticity. The bag’s serial number (which should match the serial number found in the bag itself) should be embossed on the authenticity card; other information, such as the bag model and a magnetic strip or bar code should also be found on the card. The card is usually placed in the inside pocket of the designer bag. Be wary though, authenticity cards can be faked, but these fake cards look cheap and unprofessional. Verify the serial number in the bag. As mentioned before, this should match the serial number found on the authenticity card of the bag. Different designer bags also have different patterns for their serial numbers and these can change over the years or per collection released. Serial numbers should also be clear and should be easily read. Stop, look and check first before you part with your hard-earned money on those Gucci handbags you’ve been eyeing since last year. Keep the above tips in mind when scouting for a designer bag to be sure that you’re spending only for the real deal. About the Author Get authentic, affordable Gucci handbags and other designer bag.

Recollections and pieces of the Past: a look at a Veteran
On this Veterans day I take time to ponder what it means. Over the course of our history, America has always had veterans. In one way or another men and women both have fought and died for this country. From the beginning when our forefathers and mothers first came to the shores of this land the problematic war and bloodshed was there.
In the recourse of history we see the major wars of the Revolutionary war, Civil war, the Spanish American war, the American versus the Indian wars, World war one, World war two, Korean war, the Vietnam war, and the myriad of strife america has helped put down.
I personally was in the Navy during the Vietnam war. Signalman seaman, that was me. I rubbed shoulders with the brass while putting up semaphores and relaying messages by flashing light (morse code). While many americans were fighting in Nam, our fleet spent time off the course of New York throwing over rubber dummies and running man overboard drills. We also would run watches, and work in our navy pack of ships interpreting messages from each other. The guns would clear their throats with a boom and we would run more drills.
It always seemed odd at the time of a war such as Nam, that we would be doing that. The main thought at the time was that the military was not at full strength in Nam. The political war, sure. But in the end, we survived the drills, unfortunately many of our comrades did not. That is the trouble with wars, they are not fair. Good people [yes, I know all are good], but, some people with such a bright future, people you don't expect would die in a war, actually die.
As I write this, I think also of my dad who was a navy medic in the south pacific. He doesn't talk about it much. He has seen so much bloodshed and death, no wonder he doesn't. Can anyone actually see so much death and not be changed somehow? I think not. Dad tells this story of two GI's with similar wounds. As he was working on each one, the doctor came around and told dad point blank, "this guy won't make it".. "the other guy would make it". It was in their eyes he was told. Dad told me he could see the look. One had given up, tired and not wanting to go on. The other guy fought and wanted to live. The doctor was right, the one guy died. My dad kept working as more GI's were brought in. To this date I remember the little medic kit he brought home from the war with him. I used to play with it. I remember dad also not talking about it much. Don't blame him. He is over eighty now, mom is gone. Dad is still driving, living, and coming by to visit me. In these years since mom has gone, he and I have had long talks. These are about things we never used to touch on. In these last years of His life, I believe the Lord has blessed him with a few extra peaceful days. I believe the Lord did this because of what he has seen and endured. Many may disagree with this. But, in the end, how can anyone see so much death and survive without the Lord bringing relief? Dad talks alot about how the Lord got him through his life.
Dad never volunteered for the War, He was drafted out of high school. He tells me the time Japan bombed Hawaii. My grandfather was the Town manager for Catalina Island, the first Fire Chief there, and also a game warden on the sea surrounding the Island. When that attack happened on Pearl, many in the states thought the mainland was next. My grandfather told my dad "take the gun and go down to the dock, shoot anything you see parachuting to the island". I can see the picture to this day...My dad with a gun looking up in the sky for an enemy that thank God, never came. Dad in the end would go to the enemy and help win the war.
War is hell, blood, death, saddness, and victory. But in the end both victors and the defeated lose precious human life and blood. One of these days people will learn war no more...Thank God for that.....Ev. Dana G Smith...
Isaiah 2:4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
