I will never use Get A Freelancer again without escrow. Publishing the 5 project descriptions I was not paid for. Going to Writers With Angst Group and post names of those who didn't pay me.
#Blue Bamboo Kimono Robe
This is one of our loveliest new style Kimono Robes. The clarity of the color will flatter you. The comfort will give you many pleasant evenings of lounging. It is of excellent quality in both the Chinese silk material and the care with which it was sewn.
You could spend an hour staring at the intricate pattern on the material itself with its white blossoms and bejeweled appearance. The Kimono has wide three-quarter length sleeves, a tie belt of the same material and falls softly to the floor-length hemline.
In 1644 the Qing Dynasty in China adapted a voluminous kimono and royalty and important personages were the only ones to wear them. By the 1900s kimono style dresses were worn in England. By the late 1980s kimono style robes were popular and continue to this day. Although originally attributed to Chinese style, the kimono is more of a traditional costume in modern Japan and considered to be a Japanese item of clothing.
Everyone in Japan and America can enjoy the comfort and beauty of this item of clothing. Our Blue Bamboo Kimono Robe is of exceptional beauty and will reflect on the exquisite taste of the wearer.

#14. Bamboo Sunrise
The Bamboo Sunrise Shoji Screen is lightweight and easy to place anywhere for a delicate privacy screen or simply to add a decorative touch to your living room. Its ethereal beauty is surprisingly durable. The four panels are each 48" high and 17.5" wide. The thick rice paper is framed in natural golden bamboo.
The name Shoji refers to the translucent paper screens. Historically it was used for Japanese tea ceremonies or as the backdrop for a group of musicians giving a concert. The Buddhist priests placed shoji screens outside to serve as temporary enclosures for their religious rituals. You can place it between your living room and dining room while serving tea to your friends.
Imagine barricading clutter from view when unexpected company arrives. Or you may simply desire an atmosphere of tranquilizing Zen-like serenity to induce a pleasant drifting off to sleep in your bedroom each night. The muted loveliness of the flowers will provide that mood.

Bring this Bamboo Sunrise Shoji screen into your home or office to enrich your life. Fortunately, it can be shipped for fast delivery.
#18 Shoji Window Screen
Here we have a short Shoji screen that is 48" high and 17" wide. The name window screen refers to the many panes of rice paper it is composed of. The rice paper is thick for maximum durability. Its soft, attractive honey finish will blend well with other colors in your home.
The wonderful thing about decorating with Japanese shoji designed items is the way it can transform the size of your room at a whim. A folding window screen can be placed in the center of a room closing it off halfway from one group of friends and separating two conversations going on at the same time. Perhaps the children are watching cartoons while you are serving tea to their parents. The beautiful Shoji window screen allows you to keep an eye on them as you enjoy the more peaceful side of the room.
The versatility of this shoji screen is its lightweight portability and adaptability to any room in the home or even on a porch to achieve privacy from outsiders. Whether you have contemporary furnishings or Japanese, this screen will complement the decor. We especially like it as a contrast to blue or green furniture pieces such as couch and loveseat or chair. This featherweight yet strong shoji window screen will serve you for many years to come.
#28 Kobe Japanese Lamp (Rosewood Finish)
These style lamps are more than attractive. They are interesting to look at and wonder about the unique shape of them. They can serve as the beginning to a good conversation about Japanese decor and its history,
It stands 19” high and is 8” wide and 8” deep. Made of fine wood with panes made of thick and durable rice paper. UL approved electrical components allow for a 25 watt bulb. Turn on and off with a socket and switch style.
The utilitarian look is embellished with fancy decorative top and feet that are similar to Queen Ann style feet as seen on furniture. This gives the Kobe lamp a slightly fancier look. They are large enough to place in a living room or are lovely as bedroom lamps on your nightstands. They cast a soft, soothing light that is so relaxing as you prepare for sleep.
The softness is in keeping with the intent of the Japanese to turn the ambiance of the night on by using the lamps rather than imitating the bright light of day. Each hour has its own purpose and night is not expected to be harsh as the daylight sometimes is. Carry on this interesting concept in your own home to give it the Asian decor.

The Dreaded "Block"
I had it, I had writer's block for a full week. Had an assignment due and an article due. The person I enjoy writing for is on vacation. I absolutely couldn't put a coherent thought down on the page. The carrot of cash was dangled in front of me and still, I couldn't write.
That's it end of sad tale of woe is me. :)
I'm better now. :)

Santiago Calatrava Takes Flight In Milwaukee
Santiago Calatrava Takes Flight in Milwaukee
by Jeana Morgan, Apr 30, 2009
Just as the mention of opera brings Pavarotti to mind, the name Calatrava is inextricably intertwined with the mention of modern architecture.
Tourists from around the world and any resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the US is familiar with the Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum located on the Lake Michigan shore. Most people love it and some ridicule it but no one is indifferent to this magnificent structure.
It is an addition to the older, grayer Milwaukee Art Museum and some say it isn't a good match. It may not blend and merge as a part of the older building; it sets itself apart as a glowing white masterpiece reaching out and up. It scoops up the fluid lines of nature and gives wing to Santiago Calatrava’s expression of mother earth
.
The original buildings known as the Milwaukee Art Museum were designed by an architect named Eero Saarinen in 1957. In 1994 the director of the Milwaukee Art Museum commissioned Calatrava to design the new addition. This was the famed architect's first project to be built in the US. The pristine whiteness of his creation is like a winged structure poised and ready to fly out over the blue expanse that is Lake Michigan. It not only enhances the shore but connects the lake to the city itself by way of the Reiman Bridge. This pedestrian bridge leads visitors from the downtown area consisting of hotels, restaurants and shopping to the Lake Michigan shore and the entrance to the Calatrava addition.
The sheer beauty of the distinctive “fins” set on top of the addition have been called both wings and waves. Either term connects them to nature. Wings to the clouds or waves on the lake, they are a breathtaking vision to all visitors.
But they extend beyond aesthetics, they are a movable construct made of 72 steel fins. They can be adjusted to control temperature and light inside the entrance hall to the museum. The Brise Soleil is 217 feet wide and weighs in at 90 tons.
An architect will see the Brise Soleil as a masterpiece of form and function. An artist will be overwhelmed by its beauty. A small child will look up at his mother and ask, “Mommy, do you think it might fly away?”
Santiago Calatrava’s early career as a builder of bridges is exhibited all over Spain
, the rest of Europe and the world. Naturally, when plans were being made in 1999 to raise funds to build bridges spanning the Trinity River, his name came up. He was awarded the design project in 2004 and a ground-breaking ceremony took place in 2005.
Now, four years later we find that the necessary steel has been shipped in from Italy and is awaiting inspection procedures. This first bridge in a planned parcel of three will have a center arch with the equivalent height of a 40 story tall building. What a marvelous addition to the Dallas skyline it will be – whenever it is finished.
As of April 2009 it hasn't been started therefore it obviously it won't be finished by July 2009 although that was the original projected date of completion. As Murphy’s Law dictates – stuff happens. In this case the “stuff” was a lack of steel plus safety concerns over sandy deposits
on the river bottom into which construction
crews planned to embed the pilings. The delay in building the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge seems advisable and necessary.
The current completion date is expected to be sometime in 2011. Santiago Calatrava's “Bridge over Dallas Waters" will definitely be a sight worth waiting to see.

The Best Seller That Resides In A Corner of My Brain
I have about a dozen plots roaming through my thoughts from time to time. The most prominent one takes place in a hospital setting and ends in divorce court and the target of my animosity losing all his worldly goods.
It has the main characters of a plastic surgeon who is a gifted surgeon but sorely lacking in providing the slighted scintilla of emotional support to his patients. He has a genius IQ but is clueless when it comes to being cognizant of anyone having importance except himself.
Along the way, his patients both male and female are emotionally destroyed by his acceptance of requests for unnecessary procedures and other various poor judgement calls on his part. The ending doesn't kill him off but extracts a little revenge in the area of financial status.
Would be such fun to write and wouldn't be expected to be anything but the slushy little romance novel with some gratuitous sex thrown in. (gotta sell it somehow). But woe is me, I'm not going to spend all those hours writing something I'm not going to be sure of getting paid for. Hell, if I want to be ripped off timewise, all I have to do is sell my writing for peanuts on GAF.
My other story ideas have great depth, I'm not ALWAYS shallow. lol

Ignorance Would have been bliss
by preperowlifick, Feb 21, 2009
A description of an astonished reaction to the blatant misuse of power and political position at the expense of almost everyone except the politically powerful, lobbyists and the billionaire bunch who are the power behind the scene.
Here we are again handing out money to the "haves" at the expense of future generations who will become the "never gonna haves." I try not to feel resentful after all I have food and a roof. My family is doing well. But what about those people who have lost their houses. Yes, yes I realize they should have known the rule that only 30% of a family's income should be used for housing. But when a banker (some people are in awe of the knowledge a banker is supposed to possess) is offering you a house which is after all the American dream, it is difficult to say no. Balloon payment at the end? Uh what does that mean? It means the banker led you into an impossible situation with a promise and a smile.
Wake up dude. Your American dream has come to an end.
But you won't be feeling lonely. Many others are in the process of following in your unfortunate footsteps. Isn't it interesting that when we don't balance our checking accounts correctly we are punished via overdraft fees. Isn't it even more interesting that when the bankers who punished us via overdraft fees don't balance their bank accounts - they get million dollar bonuses. Welfare for the CEO's. All their advantageous educations put together and they can't balance the books. But of course bonuses are still given. WHY WHY WHY WHY?
Once again I stand before you - a confused person who although she can balance her checkbook didn't get a million dollar bonus. What did I do wrong. Should I have screwed someone over who is more gullible than me like the bankers did? Am I not as smart as they are. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not - but I am smart enough to realize there is nothing I can do to help - change - alleviate the unfathomable disaster our country is quagmired in.
I am terribly confused about one thing. When counterfeiters print money with nothing but paper value to validate it they go to prison. When the US prints money with nothing but paper value - it continues to be justified and then they print more. I don't know about the rest of middle America but I'm smart enough to be scared - but not smart enough to know what to do about it.
