As winter approaches do you leave the screen windows on? Of course not! Likewise it’s common sense that if we want our feathered friends to use (and benefit from) the nest boxes we have in our yards, we must winterize them.

First clean out the season’s nests that may have gotten damp, filthy or infested with blowflies or lice. Then, layer 3-4” of clean dry meadow grass in the bottom of each house. Wood shavings can work well too, but don’t use sawdust as it retains moisture when wet.

Second, plug the air vent holes (and drainage holes) in your houses with flexible weather strip. You can get weather strip (Moretite is one brand) in most home/hardware center stores. It comes in a putty- like cord that you simply press in with your fingers and it comes out easily in the spring.

Who will use your house if properly winterized? Downy woodpeckers seem to be one of the most common winter tenants, even though they prefer to carve their own nest cavity. You can tell they have visited when you find some of the feathers they shed. Their feathers are long with very flimsy shafts with gray barbs and a grayish white tip. Chickadees and titmice will sometimes leave droppings and a few feathers behind while bluebirds leave a few regurgitated seeds. It’s not uncommon for 6-9 bluebirds to emerge from one box. Nuthatches and Carolina Wrens are some other common visitors to winterized homes.

If you want to provide even more winter housing, check out the Winter Roosts at BirdHousesOnly.com!

Last year I handmade all my Christmas presents. The presents were personal and unique but it ended up taking more time and expenses than I expected. With the economy the way it is today, we can all step back and look at how much money we have been spending at Christmas.

With that said, I have run across the perfect solution for saving time, energy and money as well as giving a meaningful gift.

Seattle Fast Fix Jewelry and Watch Repairs has been in the Westfield Southcenter mall since 1999. While they do routine jewelry inspection and cleaning, watch battery replacement and eyeglass hinge repair, they do more than just that. They also restore antique jewelry, restring pearl necklaces and engrave jewelry, watches and gift items.

Do you have jewelry that you no longer wear? Maybe a ring that needs a little spiffing up, a loose stone that needs mounting, a locket that has a broken chain or a watch from your grandfather that no longer is ticking? Rather than buying new jewelry as a Christmas present, why not make a piece of your own jewelry an heirloom and treasured gift for a loved one?

Seattle Fast Fix Jewelry and Watch Repairs takes rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets, watches, tie pins, broaches, tiaras and more that you already have and makes the necessary repairs and/or restorations to make them new at affordable prices.

Engraving jewelry, watches or gift items can also make meaningful, less expensive Christmas presents. Seattle Fast Fix engraves metal and glass items. A personalized glass 1st Christmas ornament might be a perfect gift for a newly wed couple or parents of a new baby. A personalized Zippo lighter might be a great idea for a grandson. An engraved key ring might be perfect for that teenager who just got their driver’s license. Seattle Fast Fix also carries items ready to be engraved such as ID bracelets, medical alert jewelry, plaques, flasks and other gift items. And, they can even remove the engraving from a solid silver item and add a new message.

So while you are out-and-about this holiday season, stop by Fast Fix Jewelry (located near JCPenney’s just inside the Southcenter mall entrance between Racha Thai and BJ’s restaurants) and have your treasured items restored, repaired or engraved while you shop for other items.

Hammond Ashley Violins is all about bringing quality music tools to the string communities of Seattle, Washington and San Diego, Calfornia.

Founded in 1964 by Hammond Ashley, the business began on the second floor of Ashley’s woodworking shop just south of the Seattle-Tacoma airport. Ashley’s background in engineering, woodworking and music made the perfect foundation for lutherie work. (Read more about founder Hammond Ashley here.)

After Hammond Ashley died in 1993, his grandson, Paul Ashley, took on the business, which had grown significantly and taken up shop on Des Moines Memorial Drive. In 2006, the business again moved to a shop with more space in Issaquah, Washington.

In February 1999, “Hammond Ashley Bass Violins” went online under the domain www.bassviolins.com. Here, they had a large inventory price list of instruments and their accessories. Customers could order these products by emailing or faxing their desired products and phoning in their credit card information.

Currently, Hammond Ashley Violins has two shops, one in Issaquah, Washington and one in San Diego, California. Both shops have recently moved location and are continuing to grow in business. They can be found online at www.hammondashley.com where customers can easily complete the entire rental process online and simply pick up their rental instruments at their school or in-store. Customers are encouraged to come in-store for the purchase of instruments, bows and accessories where professional staff will help find the perfect instrument for each individual.

Hammond Ashley violins’ specialty is in sales and rentals of high quality stringed instruments. Both stores are lined with hand-picked instruments and bows from all around the world that customers can play and compare in a friendly and comfortable environment. Before deciding on the purchase or rental of any stringed instrument, customers are encouraged to take the instruments and/or bows home to play for their teacher’s input. The store also includes a workshop where stringed instruments are set up, adjusted and repaired before and after purchase. Instruments purchased elsewhere can also be brought to the workshop.

Passion for musicians is not limited to Hammond Ashley Violins’ walk-in customers. Their outreach extends to schools and the string community around them. Throughout the years, Hammond Ashley Violins has sponsored master classes, workshops, summer camps and festivals, concerts and contests. They have a school outreach program whose goal is to educate students and teachers on topics such as care and maintenance of string instruments and how to select an instrument or bow.

Hammond Ashley Violins offers reliable referrals for professional private string instructors for any skill level or age. In fact, most of the business to Hammond Ashley Violins comes from private string teachers and their students. This is because Hammond Ashley Violins

• sells only the best quality instruments, bows and their accessories,
• provides professional service,
• guarantees their work,
• provides personal assistance and help with difficult questions like “what do I look for when searching for a bow?” and
• provides a rental program that builds equity for future purchases.

Hammond Ashley Violins is a worry-free dream for any music teacher.

Dr. Norm Culver, lecturer, author and consultant, practiced dentistry for 37 years, before completing his own successful dental transition from full time dental practice into retirement. His transition allowed him the free time and money to take extended vacations as well as live half-time at an island home. His transition was so successful that he is using his knowledge to help other dentists do the same.

If you’re thinking about phasing out or retiring, Norm Culver, DDS, has a proven method for accomplishing this transition successfully. It’s not a conventional partnership, but a temporary arrangement with a highly beneficial return for both you and the buyer. Hear the Real Story - not from a broker - but from a Dentist.

You can choose to attend a dental seminar where you will gain the practical insights needed to transition your practice from one of the nation’s leading educators and consultants to dentists. Dr. Culver will show you how to take in a younger dentist while you phase out gradually and more lucratively. Seminars are offered in several locations around the U.S. Each location has two sessions - the Basic Seminar in the morning for dentists who want a detailed presentation of the process and, immediately following, the Advanced Seminar for those interested in taking their retirement planning to the point of execution.

If you would prefer a more personal approach, Dr. Culver offers personal dentist consultation services which are designed to help dentists through any portion of a dental practice sale or transition process. These services can either be provided on an “as needed” basis or as a “complete guide” through the entire process. The objective is to provide individualized consultation for each dentist’s particular needs rather than the full service usually provided by dental brokers.

These personal services will help you with:

• Initial, general planning for the determination of which type transition to pursue.
• Specific and definitive planning for the formation of the chosen arrangement.
• Positioning of a practice for an upcoming transition.
• Office visits and evaluation concerning a transition.
• Sources for finding a quality candidate.
• Writing and placing an effective ad.
• Screening applicants and matching parties together.
• Negotiating with the parties and skirting the common pitfalls.
• Forming the legal agreement.
• Finding a qualified attorney-and the right broker.

For more information, go to http://www.phasingout.com/ or contact Dr. Culver at 1-877-425-5837.

Dr. Conger of Eye Craft, LLC, has been serving South King County since 1999 with general eye care, glasses, and contacts as well as cataract, Lasik, and refractive surgery. Besides the Burien office, Dr. Conger has satellite offices in West Seattle and Vashon.

General Eye Care, Glasses and Contacts

Their optical shop carries the latest in frame and lens design and technology. They maintain only the highest quality assortment of frames, including designs by Calvin Klein, CK, Fendi, Coach, Nike and Marchon. Their optical technician has been in the business for over 20 years, and specializes in progressive lenses and evolving technologies, such as next generation Anti-Reflective coatings and Transition lenses.

Lasik Surgery

Until recently, if you were one of the millions of people with a refractive error, eyeglasses and contact lenses were the only options for correcting vision. But with the arrival of refractive surgery, some people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism (a cornea with unequal curves), may have their vision improved through surgery.

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, is a refractive procedure that uses an automated blade and a laser to permanently reshape the cornea. The reshaped cornea helps focus light directly onto the retina to produce clearer vision.

Eye Craft, LLC, also provides patients with Custom LASIK surgery; a procedure that involves the use of a wavefront analyzer and enables your surgeon to customize the Conventional LASIK procedure to your individual eyes. This customized procedure can result in patients seeing clearer and sharper than ever before.

Dr. Dean Conger
Dr. Conger is a caring surgeon that wants his patients to make informed, educated decisions about their eye care. At Eye Craft, LLC’s website, http://www.eye-craft.com/, Dr. Conger provides a wide variety of pages and links designed to help individuals be better educated about their eyes, vision, and many related subjects.
