It's that time again, the time to cleanse out the inside of the body and prepare for summer. There is nothing more beautiful in the summer than healthy glowing skin. There are a few things to do first to prepare for the cleanse. I never skip this step because it's really important. It's the pre cleanse phase.
The mind is a powerful tool. The mind is also a very destructive tool as well. Step one in the cleanse is getting the mind prepared for change. Everyone is different in this aspect. When starting a cleanse, it makes sense to stop filling the body with anything other than whole foods. Going through the cabinets and fridge to get rid of junk food and carbs is a good idea. Replace those foods with fresh food, lean meats and lots of veggies, green veggies. Another tip to a pre cleanse id to remove all negative thoughts about you and replace them with a positive outlook. For whatever reason you're cleansing, it's important to feel good about whom you are.
Since I am mostly focusing on the liver to begin with, I have to bring up the importance of water. The liver requires a lot of water to cleanse itself. If the body isn't fully hydrated, the liver will pull water from other parts of the body so it can complete its job, which is filtering. If this happens you can really get a bad headache because the brain also requires water to function well. The liver is the most active between 11 p.m and 1 a.m so make sure you are plenty hydrated before you go to bed.
Now that the pre prep is finished and it's time to get to the cleanse, I should mention that I am hardcore believing in sweaty 60 minute cardio workouts on the cleanse. A lot of toxins will be released through sweat and breath. When doing a liver cleanse, I always start with the basic herbs that work wonderfully together. The staple herbs are Milk thistle, burdock root and dandelion root. All three are great liver, blood and kidney cleansing herbs.
Milk thistle Facts:
Latin name: Carduus marianus also known as Silybum marianum
Other common name: Mary thistle
Milk thistle is a common weed with white markings on the leaves. Reaching the
height of five feet the plant puts out purple flowering heads, which may be
eaten fresh as a vegetable. The seeds are collected and dried for use in herbal
Milk thistle is useful in the treatment of liver diseases such as alcoholic
hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver poisoning and viral hepatitis. Milk thistle is one
of the few herbs that have no real pharmaceutical equivalent. Milk thistle also
regulates the digestion of fats, helps stabilize blood sugars and cholesterol,
reduces inflammation of the intestine and promotes the excretion of certain
Milk thistle is helpful for:
" Acne, constipation, Crohns disease and irritable bowel syndrome
" Alcoholism, cirrhosis, and hepatitis.
" Atherosclerosis, gallstones, high cholesterol and iron overload
" Cancer
" Diabetes
" Ovarian Cysts
" Parkinson's disease
" Psoriasis
Milk thistle is one of my favorite herbs to take regularly. It's non-toxic. Using milk thistle daily won't hurt your body and it contains such amazing nutrients it's truly helpful. But as I stated before, make sure you drink plenty of water while using milk thistle. The body is made up of mostly water anyway, so you know you need it to function.
Burdock Root Facts:
Burdock Root
Latin name: Arctium lappa
Other common names: edible burdock, greater burdock, lappa
Description of Burdock
Burdock, a relative of the sunflower, grows to the height of five feet with
reddish purple flower heads covered with spiny bracts. In the summer, the
seeds are harvested and the roots of two year old plants are dug. The roots
are the most important part of the plant used for medicinal purposes.
Benefits of Burdock
Burdock is a blood purifier that clears congestion in the circulatory,
lymphatic, respiratory and urinary systems. Burdock also helps to eliminate
excess fluids in the body and stimulate the elimination of toxic waste which
relieves liver disorders and improves digestion. Burdock cleanses the body of
bile and detoxifies the kidneys and gallbladder. It also increases perspiration
which reduces excess toxins.
•Arthritis, gout, sciatica
•Boils, dandruff and eczema
•Liver diseases
Burdock can heal a damaged liver and protect it from further damage. In as
Little as two weeks, the symptoms from liver damage can improve.
I personally love burdock root as a blood cleanse and as a liver cleanse. When combines with the use of garlic, it really perks the body right up. I have to admit, the combo of those two I will not go without.
Dandelion Root Facts:
Latin name: Taxaxacum officinal
Dandelion root is know best as a weed that pops up in lawns but grows wild in
most of the world and is cultivated as an herb. The young leaves of dandelion
root are picked in the spring for tonic salads. In the early summer, before the
plant blooms, leaves are harvested for the manufacture of medicinal teas and
tinctures. The roots of two-year-old plants are dug in the fall, when they are
at their greatest concentration of the complex carbohydrate inulin, for use
in tablets and tinctures.
Benefit of Dandelion Root:
Dandelion leaves are a powerful diuretic. The roots act as a blood purifier
that helps the kidneys and the liver to remove toxins and poisons from the
blood. The roots also can be used to help jaundice. Dandelion also acts as a
mild laxative and improves appetite and digestion. Dandelion root is also
believed to help age spots.
Medicinal uses for dandelion root:
" Anemia Dandelion root contains high levels of potassium, is a rich
source of iron and vitamins. Dandelion root contains high levels of carotene.
" Bladder infections Because dandelion root is a diuretic, it helps to
relieve fluid retention in bladder infections.
" Constipation and indigestion dandelion root is a mild bitter. It has a
cleansing effect on the liver by stimulating the production of bile.
" Irritable bowel syndrome dandelion root improves regularity
" Liver problems and gallstones. The bitter principles in dandelion root
increase bile production and bile flow in the liver. This makes dandelion root
useful in sluggish liver function due to alcohol abuse or poor diet. It is a
restorative to the liver and helps the risk of developing gallstones.
" Osteoporosis Dandelion is a rich source of boron, which helps raise
estrogen levels in the blood and helps preserve the bone. Dandelion root is
also a rich source for calcium.
" Overweight Dandelion reduces water weight through its diuretic effect.
It may also help the liver regulate blood sugars. It also increases bile flow
and helps to improve fat metabolism.
So now you have a few basic facts about herbs and the pre prep for a cleanse. Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg and Ill address a lot more components over the course of thirty days. A cleanse will help the body remove toxic build up that may reduce the function of the liver. A few signs that you may need to cleanse would be fatigue, weight gain, acne or mild depression. The liver is where we store our negative energy so every now and again a good purge is in order. Visit the website daily for information on cleansing.

McCain, Huckabee neck and neck in S.C.; Obama leads Clinton
McCain and Mike Huckabee are neck and neck heading into Saturday's Republican primary in South Carolina, where the outcome could hinge on a bloc of undecided evangelical voters, according to a new McClatchy-MSNBC poll.
The survey, by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, found a battle between McCain, an Arizona senator, and Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, for the lead. It also revealed a close struggle for third between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson.
As in earlier contests, the margin is close, the voters are unsure and the campaign is volatile. Almost 1 in 10 likely voters said they were still undecided, and one-third of those who did express support for candidates said they might change their minds in the final hours.
The biggest bloc of undecided voters are evangelical Christians.
The numbers:
-- McCain, 27 percent.
-- Huckabee, 25 percent.
-- Romney, 15 percent.
-- Thompson, 13 percent.
-- Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, 6 percent.
-- Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, 5 percent.
-- Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, 1 percent.
-- Undecided, 8 percent.
The poll also found that the economy is tops on the minds of voters in South Carolina, as it was in Michigan. Voters who said the economy was the most important issue split between McCain, 29 percent, and Huckabee, 24 percent, with 17 percent going for Romney.
McCain draws his strongest support from those older than 50, men, non-evangelicals, non-Republicans and those looking for a leader who can keep the country safe. He's campaigned as a war hero who knows how to lead the country during wartime, appealing to veterans in a pro-military state.
He had a 2-1 advantage over Huckabee among non-Republicans, a nearly 4-1 advantage among non-evangelicals and a 2-1 edge over Huckabee and Romney among voters who say the quality they seek most in a candidate is leadership.
Huckabee draws his greatest support from voters looking for a candidate who shares their values, where he had a 2-1 edge over Thompson, a better edge over Romney and a nearly 3-1 advantage over McCain.
Huckabee has campaigned as a devout Christian who'd oppose abortion and gay marriage but also as an economic populist who'd look out more for working people than corporate bosses.
He had an edge among evangelical voters, but not the lopsided margin he's had in other states, winning 33 percent of them to McCain's 20 percent, Thompson's 15 percent and Romney's 13 percent.
"It's a little more spread around here," said Brad Coker, the managing partner of Mason-Dixon.
The poll suggests that evangelicals remain key swing voters heading into the voting. There were more undecided evangelicals, 11 percent, than non-evangelical voters, 4 percent, for a ratio of 3-1.
More people call themselves evangelical Christians in South Carolina than in most other states, including Iowa, where Huckabee won most of them. That's partly because there are more of them in South Carolina.
But it's also a matter of culture, Coker said, in a Southern state where more people are likely to say they're born-again Christians. "You get more moderate conservative mainstream Protestants calling themselves evangelicals."
And they might be voting on issues such as the economy or national security rather than traditional "values issues," such as abortion. A deluge of ads blasting Huckabee for raising taxes in Arkansas could be splintering his support among evangelicals.
Also, Huckabee has more competition in South Carolina for social conservatives than he's had in other states, mainly from Thompson.
How those remaining evangelicals vote could well determine the outcome.
"It's a tossup," Coker said. "If Huckabee pulls this out, it will be because the rest of the evangelicals went for him. If McCain pulls this out, it will be because they went on other issues like national security."
The McClatchy-MSNBC Poll is a snapshot of voter opinion at the time it was conducted. It isn't a prediction of how people will vote on Election Day.
The Mason-Dixon poll of 400 likely Republican primary voters in South Carolina was conducted by telephone Monday through Wednesday. Those interviewed were selected by a random variation of telephone numbers from a cross-section of telephone exchanges. That means that anyone in the state with a phone line had the same odds of being called as anyone else, except for people who use only cell phones. Cell phone numbers aren't in the exchanges.
The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points. That means that 95 percent of the time, the correct numbers could be as many as 5 percentage points above the poll's findings or as many as 5 percentage points below them. The remaining 5 percent of the time, the correct numbers could vary even more.
The sampling margin of error doesn't include other variables that could affect results, including the way questions are worded or the order in which they're asked.

The landscapes all share the central motif of a road traversing through mountains and valleys leading to or passing monumental buildings. This fantasy world creates a scene where the stakes have risen in the human pursuit of creating meaning through ceremony and a directed spirituality. Like many civilisations in human history it's the architecture that shows they lost there way. This invented world may be absurd but the lingering question with all Morgan's work is how much more absurd is his fantasy world to ours?

Time to man up and pick this Super Bowl. The great thing about making a Super Bowl pick and getting it right is that you can totally brag about it for the entire offseason without letting people know A) That you lost oceans of money on other bets during the season and B) That you picked the Colts to win this game back in August. I picked the Jets and Bucs to play in this game before the season began. You think I'm disclosing that to anyone? NUH NUH. I'm no fool, except when picking NFL games. Here we go.
Giants/Pats: This Patriots team isn't better than the one that choked away a perfect season against the Giants back in Super Bowl 42. The defense is worse. The running game is spotty. Even Tom Brady, Hall of Famer that he is, has had his rotten moments. He was outplayed by Joe Flacco in the AFC title game, and if Eli Manning does likewise on Sunday, New England WILL lose. Of course, you never know when Brady will rise up and throw for eight TD passes in a single half. He tends to do that when he's properly motivated (witness his game against the Broncos three weeks ago), and Lord knows he'll be primed to avenge Super Bowl 42.
The problem is this Giants' pass rush. That's the reason New York pulled off that historic upset, and you could argue that this defensive line is even better than the one that crushed Brady way back when. And this Pats' o-line isn't as good as it was five years ago. You CAN get to Brady, as the Ravens proved. With Rob Gronkowski playing hurt (I'm sure he'll play, but he clearly won't be 100%), Brady's options will be limited to Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez and not much else. I think Brady takes his licks, turns the ball over a few times, and then Eli and Victor Cruz take advantage. Of course, perhaps this is wishful thinking. Perhaps it'll be the Pats' pass rush that brings down Eli (he was sacked often against the Niners), with Brady and company jumping on the opportunity for ring #4. Given that I'm about to pick the Giants, that's probably the more likely scenario. Oh, well. GIANTS 30, PATS 20.

The red card handed to the Tottenham defender Danny Rose for a foul on Edin Dzeko has been overturned, the Football Association has announced.
Rose was given a straight red for a tackle on Dzeko inside the home penalty box during Tottenham's 5-1 defeat to Manchester City at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
Replays showed Rose clearly made contact with the ball, but a penalty was awarded by the referee Andre Marriner after his assistant Scott Ledger flagged for a foul.
After studying replays of the incident, which happened when City were 1-0 up, the FA has decided to rescind the red card.
That means Rose will be available to play in Spurs' away game at Hull on Saturday.
An FA statement read: "Danny Rose's one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect after the Tottenham player's wrongful dismissal claim was upheld by an Independent Regulatory Commission.
"Rose was dismissed in Tottenham's game against Manchester City on Wednesday for denying a goalscoring opportunity."
The Spurs manager Tim Sherwood said immediately after the match that the club would appeal, adding: "I think Andre got it right in the first place when he called it as a corner.
"Unfortunately for us, the linesman decided that Andre got it wrong and he's given a penalty there. I think Danny's making a last-ditch tackle so he's having to lunge in there a bit. He clearly wins the ball."

Satellite Data Reveal Route of Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane
Jetliner 'Pinged' Satellites With Location, Altitude for Hours After Disappearance
Malaysia Airlines' missing jet transmitted its location repeatedly to satellites over the course of five hours after it disappeared from radar, people briefed on the matter said, as searchers zeroed in on new target areas hundreds of miles west of the plane's original course.
The satellites also received speed and altitude information about the plane from its intermittent "pings," the people said. The final ping was sent from over water, at what one of these people called a normal cruising altitude. They added...

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority on Thursday issued a Notice of Recommended Award to Capital Rail Constructors for the major design-build portion of Phase 2 of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project, known as the Silver Line. The announcement of the Notice of Recommended Award formally identifies the team consisting of Clark Construction Group and Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. as the low-price proposer for the contract, but does not constitute a final award of the contract.
The announcement follows an Airports Authority review of Capital Rail Constructors' $1,177,777,000.00 price proposal, which was determined to meet all necessary requirements. Capital Rail Constructors' price proposal was the lowest of the five read by the Airports Authority at a public opening on Friday, April 19.
"We are very encouraged by the price submitted by Capital Rail Constructors and the potential savings it includes," said Pat Nowakowski, executive director of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project. "This has been a very successful competitive procurement process. The winning proposal is well below our original estimates of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion for this portion of the project, which hopefully will allow us to pass on additional savings to users of the Dulles Toll Road."
The Notice of Recommended Award is the next step in a competitive procurement process that began in July 2012. The Airports Authority will now request additional documentation from the team, including insurance certificates, and payment and performance bonds. A final award of the contract is expected in May.
This contract includes the construction of 6 stations, 11.4 miles of track and guideways, and wayside components. The stations are Reston Town Center, Herndon, Innovation Center, Washington Dulles International Airport, Route 606 and Route 772/Ashburn. Additional contracts will be competed in the near future for the rail yard and parking garages.
The Silver Line project is being undertaken in partnership with Loudoun and Fairfax counties and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority was established in 1987 by the governments of Virginia and the District of Columbia to manage and operate Washington's Ronald Reagan National and Dulles International airports, which together serve more than 40 million passengers a year. The Airports Authority also operates and maintains the Dulles Airport Access Road and the Dulles Toll Road and manages construction of the Silver Line project, a 23-mile extension of the Washington region's Metrorail system into Loudoun County, Va. No taxpayer money is used to operate the toll road, which is funded by toll revenues, or the airports, which are funded through aircraft landing fees, rents and revenues from concessions. The Silver Line construction is funded by a combination of toll-road revenues, airport contributions and federal, state and local government appropriations. The Airports Authority is led by a 17-member board of directors appointed by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, the mayor of Washington, D.C., and the president of the United States.

Olga was born in Sweden in 1894 in Sweden and she immigrated in 1907. I have found her listed in a passenger list and she had traveled with her sister Hilma Engdahl. The two girls listed Montana as their destination and they had an aunt living there. I have been unable to find the aunt, or that family. I would really like to know how these two girls, 14 and 16 or 17, traveled from New York to Montana.
After the passenger list, the next mention of Olga was in the 1920 census as the wife of Thurman Allen Poe, and living in Sparks, Nevada. I know that she married Thurman Allen Poe, because of family information. However, I have no documents regarding the marriage. Thurman Allen's brief bio was in 52 Ancestors: #2 in this series. I found numerous mentions of Olga and her children, particularly her daughters, in the social columns in Reno and Sparks newspapers. Unfortunately, I don't have any other documents with her mentioned.
Sometime after Olga and Thurman Allen divorced, Olga moved to California. She died in 1954 in Berkeley. Her obituary was included in the Reno newspaper.
Since Olga and Thurman were my biological paternal grandparents, I would appreciate collaborating with anyone with knowledge of this family. I would truly appreciate any photos, copies of documents, or even knowledge of where documents could be found.
This blog was written in response to Amy Johnson Crow's blog challenge: 52 Ancestors in 52 weeks on her blog: No Story Too Small.

Empoli Glass 5929Culture Object
#5929/12.5 x 7 inches/ $270
In 1926 a Boston importer discovered the Tuscan glassmaking town of Empoli, known for its rustic utilitarian glassware. By hiring Venetian maestros to train the Empoli glass blowers the importer sought to produce less expensive Venetian style glass. While the experiment failed, the influence can be seen throughout the succeeding decades. A resurgent interest in the Venetian style is evident during Empoli's last productive period in the 1960's.
The series presented here is defined by thin-walled and delicately colored glass. While executed in a grander scale and with simplified forms, it evokes the spirit of Murano in its elegance. Produced in greater quantities than other Empoli styles, this glass dominated the American market in the 1960's and 70's. Barely a single issue of House & Garden or House Beautiful was published without Empoli glass during this period.
Curated by Damon Crain / Culture Object
As a leading expert in mid-20th century glass Damon has published numerous articles in international publications and book. Museums who have consulted with Damon on acquisitions include the Corning Museum of Glass, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, The Toledo Museum of Art, the Chrysler Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Yale University Art Gallery. Damon was recently named a "Fellow" of the Corning Museum of Glass and has served as advisor to the West Virginia Museum of Glass, Vice President of the New York Metropolitan Glass Club, board member of Art Glass Forum | NY, and Director of the Blenko Museum of Seattle.

...you would have been unhappy with the TC cheapos...I mean pros. Overpriced, over rated and the rubber sucks...both soles and rand ( which continues to pull away from the shoe).
For rubber, XS Grip 2 rules but I do not know if it is durable or not.
I find the new TC rubber just as good, maybe it's my extra bulk giving me more gription (or flexible ankles, or fit, or....) who knows-- that's how these companies sell so many shoes.

Patriots four-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork became the unofficial mouthpiece for defensive players against any potential NFL rule changes on Monday, saying that current NFL rules don't do enough to protect defensive players.
Although he's had meetings in the past with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell due to his own discipline issues on the field, the six-foot-two, 325-pound Wilfork still believes quarterbacks are too protected.
"You have a guy that's making $30 million a year, but you can't touch him. C'mon, let's be for real now," Wilfork told The Boston Herald on Monday. "Me as a defensive lineman, it's OK for somebody to hold me up, and another guy to come and chop my legs, and I can't protect myself. I can do without that. That's probably the main thing. Being able to hit a quarterback good. We need that. We need that back right there. But you hurt the franchise of your team if you're allowed to tee off on the quarterback. Cuz you know, quarterbacks are wimpy."
Wilfork had 3.5 sacks and two interceptions last season and has been a steady force in the Patriots defensive attack, starting 112 of the 122 games he's played for the team over the last eight seasons.

MOSCOW, July 9 (UPI) -- Anatoly Iksanov is to be replaced by Vladimir Urin as head of the Bolshoi Theatre, the Russian culture ministry announced.
The BBC said Iksanov was removed from his post following a series of scandals.
Iksanov is accused of mismanaging the Bolshoi's $1 billion renovation, which ran years over schedule and budget, and of harassing principal dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze, whom he accused of being involved in an acid attack that left the ballet company's artistic director Sergei Filin mostly blind.
Tsiskaridze has vehemently denied any involvement in the assault for which three other people are awaiting trial.
"A difficult situation had developed around the theater and the troupe -- everything pointed to the need for renewal," the British broadcaster quoted Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky as saying about the decision to replace Iksanov.
Iksanov had been the head of the Bolshoi Theatre for the last 13 years and had more than a year left on his contract.
Medinsky said Iksanov will have a role advising Urin, former general director of the Stanislavsky Musical Theatre, until Iksanov's contract runs out, the BBC said.

Hundreds of people packed the South Reno Baptist Church today to pay their last respects to Reed High School graduate Captain Joshua Byers.
Byers was killed July 23 when his convoy was ambushed in northern Iraq.
"I thank God for him," said his father, Dr. Lloyd Byers. "Josh is a real hero."
And a hero to many.
People traveled from all over the United States - some family members traveling from as far away as Guam - to honor Captain Joshua Byers.
Everyone we spoke with remembered Captian Byers as being an extraordinary husband, brother, son, and friend.
"I feel richer for having known him. He was an inspirational young man," said former ROTC Instructor, Gordon Jobe.
Said Bo Eisfelder, Byers' best friend: "The best friend I could ever have. I'm proud to have known him."
While Josh only lived in Nevada for a few years, the West Point Graduate who dedicated his life to the Army touched many lives.
"Josh laid down his life to free the Iraq people," one said.
His parents say that dedication came across in everything. "Every letter he wrote to his mom and me said I love my soliders and I'm committed to bringing them safely home to their families," his father said.
A commitment that has left tears in the eyes of many and a hole in their hearts.
"My worst nightmare is to lose a child," Dr. Byers says. "I've had to go through that."
Said friend Jessie Jobe: "We hope will all meet again one day."
Captain Joshua Byers was laid to rest in Mountville, South Carolina.
He is survived by his wife, parents, and two brothers.

Larger than I thought it would be
I got the purple one it's the perfect size and very well made I love love my bag
Love them. Came really quickly - really good quality. Looked just as description. Thank you
I recently ordered the Adorable Kittens Wallet. It was just what I was looking for. Just Purrfect!!
I just love this shower curtain. It really adds to the decor in my bathroom. I'm an absolute cat lover and this is just perfect.
The dress is so cute on my granddaughter.
This item was a huge surprise. It is a good size & excellent quality! It will get you noticed & is functional. Use it for travel, cosmetics, a weekend travel tote.. many different ways. It's not just a backpack for the kids!! I adore it.
Photos of my cat next to the pillow
It's so adorable!! I smile every time I pull it out of my purse. And I always get compliments.
I gave the bad to my daughter-in-law as a birthday gift. We were both impressed with the quality and features - zipper!
Unfortunately, I didn't notice that "not for cars with integrated seat belts' part. I can't get them on, but might alter them to fit because they are so pretty! If I am successful, I will send along a picture. They go perfectly with my black Monte Carlo!
These shoes (Egyptian Cats) were originally only offered in women's sizes, but this wonderful company was willing to custom make them in a man's size for me, which I gave to my Egyptian, cat-loving boyfriend for his birthday. He LOVES them, and they fit perfectly. I give them an A++!
Great shoes. I haven't yet worn them for an extended time, so can't write a detailed review yet.9
I absolutely LOVE these shoes. They're so bright & happy looking. I was also surprised how comfortable they are. They're extremely light & perfect for the spring & summer.
Again, I have to praise these people for their customer service. I am not exaggerating when I say I have never dealt with such a wonderful company. If anything is wrong, they'll fix it right away. They definitely care about their customers & stand behind their products.
I've had strangers compliment my shoes too! It's happened twice & I've only worn them twice, now that spring is finally deciding to greet us.
Many thanks, Boundless! =)
Not only am I ridiculously happy with my necklace, I have never experienced such stellar customer service before! No hyperbole! These people really care & they stand behind their products. My necklace looks even better in person & because it's on a chain, you can wear it at any length. Great quality too =)
I love it!
Many thanks, Boundless, for being so wonderful.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

I. Brewster & Co. began operation over 30 years ago as a wholesale Fine Art operation working out of a small 1000 square foot walk-down in Philadelphia. Today the company has an experienced and knowledgeable staff of 22 with a magnificent depth of inventory in Masters, Contemporary and Pop Art paintings, drawings and original prints.
The gallery is known worldwide as one of the major primary sources for Louis Icart works. Owner, Nathan D. Isen is a specialist in Louis Icart, and co-authored the catalogue raisonne Louis Icart: The Complete Etchings Limited Edition Graphics, now in its fourth printing. The gallery's inventory exceeds 40,000 pieces. (So if you do not see it on the website / it does not mean we do not have it / just contact us).
The Pop, Contemporary and Masters Art market is continuing to boom with an ever rising demand on availability. For the most part, this is due to a scarcity of 'material' or 'product', as it were: so many of the blue-chip artists have passed away; an increasing demand from Europe, Russia, China and South America as well as the traditionally strong demand in the United States. Much of the work by Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Picasso, Renoir, Rockwell, Degas, Miro, et al. have been setting record levels at auctions recently. As well, these artists' prints have been appreciating in value at 20% to 55% per year.
We sell fine art as an investment vehicle. Blue-chip art has been one of the few high-end discretionary items which can be fully enjoyed aesthetically while retaining its market value and, more often than not, increasing in value. Because of this, the gallery offers a "20 Year Exchange Policy" which means that they will take most anything back in exchange for new art. Moreover, many shrewd clients sell pieces through the gallery and realize substantial gains.
This is all part of the company's philosophy: to offer private, corporate and dealer clients the finest artwork at the most reasonable price points possible -- simple and straight-forward.
Due to the related cost factors involved with owning a fine art inventory outright, most art dealers and galleries selling 'Blue Chip' artists do not actually own any of the art they are exhibiting and selling. This lack of control can be very detrimental and frustrating to the buyer. The results are usually higher prices on pieces of unknown condition or – worse yet – on 'phantom' pieces that are not even available to this type of situation. As one of the largest stocking Blue Chip print dealers in the United States, I. Brewster & Co. does not have these problems.
The company ships art of all genres and mediums to clients and dealers all over the world. You will find their operation to be highly professional from your first contact forward to completion of each and every transaction. In addition to superior buying talent and the ability to offer prices 30% to 50% less than traditional 'retail' galleries, I. Brewster & Co. has thrived over the years largely due to an extremely loyal following of repeat clients and referrals.
Many people are seeking to dispose of artwork either they or loved ones have acquired. Since we are constantly selling, we are consistent buyers as well. I. Brewster & Co. is always looking to buy artwork by the artists we represent. Since we have significant financial resources, we often buy for our inventory in contrast to simply brokering pieces to other dealers as most 'buyers' in the fine art market do. And by owning the inventory outright, the company can offer you the best prices possible and to finalize transactions quickly and efficiently. Please keep us in mind if you or anyone you might know is looking to sell artwork.
You will be delighted to find the staff at I. Brewster & Co. to be very responsive to your questions and concerns. We will not consider any transaction complete until you, the customer, is completely satisfied. We firmly believe that any art purchase should be a fulfilling and enriching experience. We pledge to you to do all in our power to make your experience as an art collector enjoyable and rewarding.
Some notable Corporate, Charitable and Famous clients include:
Emory University (collection from I. Brewster valued over $7m)
The Coalition for the Protection of Children (raised $140,000.00 for their charity in one weekend)

- 2 MySQL, ODBC with OpenOffice Setup on the Remote Server
MySQL, ODBC with OpenOffice Setup on LocalHost
This document shows how to set up ODBC in Arch, first to access you database on your localhost and then extends the steps to configure MySQL to allow remote access through ODBC.
Packages To Install
Start by installing the unixodbc and myodbc
# pacman -Sy unixodbc myodbc
Configure the ini Files
Configure the "odbc.ini" and "odbcinst.ini" file. Starting with odbcinst.ini, which lists all installed drivers. Su to root and set up your /etc/odbcinst.ini file as follows
[MySQL] Description = ODBC Driver for MySQL Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc.so Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so FileUsage = 1
Next set up your data sources in "/etc/odbc.ini" (system wide) or "~/.odbc" (current user). If a data source is defined in both of these files, the one in your home directory take precedence.
[MySQL-test] Description = MySQL database test Driver = MySQL Server = localhost Database = test Port = 3306 Socket = /tmp/mysql.sock Option = Stmt =
Create A Symbolic Link
Next we need to create a symlink for libmyodbc.so. To do this we need to go to /usr/lib/ and set up a symlink to libmyodbc.so
cd /usr/lib/ ln -s ./libmyodbc3-3.51.12.so ./libmyodbc.so
Renamed Modules
OK, for this step I cheap-skated it a little and simply copy these files to agree with version of ODBC that Arch was looking for.
cp libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.7 cp libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.7
Create A Test Database
On my machine I run phpmyadmin so I already had a test database to use. If you don't have a test database then create one in MySQL.
Testing the ODBC
To test the ODBC connection
isql MySQL-test
If the connection is established, you will see
+---------------------------------------+ | Connected! | | | | sql-statement | | help [tablename] | | quit | | | +---------------------------------------+ SQL>
If you have a problem connecting then check the error message by running
isql MySQL-test -v
A Couple Useful Websites
This website got me going on ODBC with MySQL but left out some things that were necessary for me to get isql up and running. However this might be a good reference for the OpenOffice part.
To work around error messages this URL proved helpful so here it is as well.
MySQL, ODBC with OpenOffice Setup on the Remote Server
Edit odbc.ini
From the Client side it is necessary to edit the odbc.ini and the .odbc.ini files slightly. Here is the odbc.ini that I used to login.
[MySQL-test] Description = MySQL database test Driver = MySQL Server = 192.168.0.102 Trace = Off TraceFile = stderr Database = test Port = 3306 USER = username Password = secretpassword Socket = /tmp/mysql.sock Option = Stmt =
Edit my.cnf
Edit /etc/my.cnf so that port 3306 will be running to do this comment out skip-networking and also add bind-address = your IP
#skip-networking bind-address =192.168.0.100
Edit hosts.allow
Next add a line in "hosts.allow"
It is recommended to do something like mysql:192.168.0.102 or whatever your client machine would be.
Verify Port 3306 is Listening
restart the mysql server with the command "/etc/rc.d/mysqld restart" and then check to see that port 3306 is listening on the server
netstat -ant
If port 3306 is open, you'll see the following
Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Permissions on MySQL for Remote Connection
Next it is necessary to give permissions on the server so that MySQL will allow a remote connection. Type "mysql -u "username" -p" and log into you MySQL
mysql> CREATE DATABASE test; mysql> GRANT ALL ON test.* TO username@'192.168.0.101' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';
Here was a helpful URL for this step.
Testing the ODBC
run the "isql MySQL-test" command and you should be able to log into your server.
The main error message that took a while for me to figure out was the error message "Lost connection to MySQL server during query". This was being driven from the hosts.allow not being added.
Also from the client you can run the following command to verify that port 3306 is open
telnet 192.168.0.102 3306
Good luck and happy computing now that you can get OpenOffice to connect to you databases. Alex & HW

It's the long and short of why Rick Nash wasn't trade at the deadline and why Howson won't trade him at the Draft. Mostly because I believe that Howson won't be there for the Blue Jackets come Draft time. Fact of the matter is that Howson was in a lose-lose situation.
First off, he probably couldn't trade Nash because the price he was asking for return was much to high for teams to pay. Even though Nash is a talent, the odds are that his lack of playoff experience doesn't warrant trading away the chemistry you have on your team, as well as mortgaging the future, even if Nash will be around during his prime with the team.
Second, Howson didn't want to hamstring his team he's working for being responsible for trading the face of the franchise, especially if it doesn't work out in the end. Should Howson's tenure end in Columbus and trading the biggest name on his team for what could be nothing won't look good on any resume you'd be showing to prospective employers.
Third, and I think most important, Scott Howson is not long for the Columbus Blue Jackets organization and may not have been allowed to actually move Nash, regardless of the price. It's been a bad year for Howson and the decisions added to the lack of solid play could have hamstrung Howson for the long-run. Sure, injuries could be claimed in the case of summer pick-ups James Wisniewski and recently-traded Jeff Carter, but at the same time-- the goaltending wasn't solid, the rest of the team didn't pick up any slack, and the star player was merely a footnote with only 21 goals and 22 assists as the captain of the team.
Granted, that stuff is out of Howson's control, but didn't make the team better in the long-run. It almost seems like a lame-duck move for him ask so much or be told to ask for so much by the ownership. Considering he didn't make many other moves of note either, shows that he is probably not in control and come April, he'll be in the unemployment line.
Another clue to his demise could be how Howson broke down the fourth wall and threw the star player under the bus and making himself the victim. When you do something like that, you're already breaking down a more fragile situation and maybe it very awkward for players and upper management to believe in you and trust in your decision making. That, to me, put the final nail into the coffin for Howson's tenure.
Like always, I'm probably wrong and that the dreaded "Vote of Confidence" that may come is actually geniune and Howson will stay, but his decision making has been fairly suspect and hasn't yield much success for the franchise in the grand scheme of things. If he would have traded Nash, he would have been run out of town by the fans, with him not trading Nash and then putting private matters out to the public, he could be run out by his own peers.

Mexico's war on crime now ranks among Latin America's bloodiest conflicts
The revelation that as many as 27,000 people may have gone missing in Mexico in recent years renews attention to the huge human toll left by the war on crime that former President Felipe Calderon waged during his six years in office.
Combined with the 70,000 dead acknowledged recently by the new administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto, who succeeded Calderon on Dec. 1, the number of the disappeared makes the Calderon tenure the bloodiest period in Mexican history since the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th century.
On Thursday, human rights campaigners said the numbers place Mexico far above some of the better-known Latin American human catastrophes of decades past, including the rule of military regimes in Argentina, Chile and Brazil and civil wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Lia Limon, Mexico's deputy interior secretary for human rights and legal affairs, acknowledged on Wednesday that the government had compiled a list of 27,000 missing people after meeting with representatives of the New York-based advocacy group Human Rights Watch.
Mexican Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong on Thursday promised to "look for all of them." But he also warned there were no guarantees. "We start from a fundamental fact," he said, "little information, little evidence and no rules."
Civic activists hailed the government for disclosing the list, nonetheless.
"It is an acknowledgement by the Mexican state of the problem," said Jorge Verastegui Gonzalez, spokesman for United Forces for Our Disappeared in Mexico, an advocacy group. "Recognition is a first step."
Jose Miguel Vivanco, executive director of Human Rights Watch's Americas division, said any list of disappeared must be carefully scrutinized and cross-checked to eliminate those who are known dead or who later reappeared. He said that even if a final tally is smaller, the numbers are "overwhelming."
Over the past six years, Vivanco said, Mexican authorities have collected 15,921 bodies or partial human remains that have never been identified.
"These figures speak for themselves," he said at a news conference, adding that "in terms of forced disappearances, the numbers put Mexico almost at the vanguard of what lamentably has occurred in Latin America in this area."
"How many people disappeared during the military dictatorship in Brazil? According to official figures, 137 people," Vivanco said. "How many disappeared in Chile? The most recent official figures say around 3,000. How many disappeared in Argentina during the military dictatorship? According to the Sabato report 'Never Again,' around 10,000 people."
In a detailed report released this week, Vivanco's group said that it had investigated 249 cases of disappearances in Mexico. Of those, 149 involved people who witnesses saw being detained by military personnel or municipal, state or federal police. He said the actual number of such cases is certainly far higher, though what proportion of the total number of disappeared had government involvement is not clear.
Organized crime syndicates are thought to be responsible for the bulk of Mexico's bloodshed, unleashing a wave of terror that included beheadings, dismemberments and public executions in a battle fueled by cash from an insatiable demand for cocaine and other drugs in the United States.
In some areas, the criminals operated as virtual shadow governments, particularly along the border with the United States.
But Vivanco said the likelihood that police and military were involved in at least some of the crimes increases the obligation of the Pena Nieto government to prosecute. To do otherwise, he said, would just encourage more abuses.
Vivanco called for "exemplary punishment" for soldiers and police found guilty of crimes with "sentences proportional to the atrocities that have been committed by public forces in a war against drug traffickers in which everything was permitted. This is the result of a war without any controls."
Building cases from long-cold crimes will not be easy, he said, especially when "officials manipulated crime scenes, fabricated evidence to clear themselves and implicate others."
Judicial investigators are often poorly trained, unable to carry out simple tasks for building a criminal case, added Nik Steinberg, a Mexico researcher for Human Rights Watch. In one case, he said, "investigators spoke to the wives of disappeared men, and then took DNA samples from the wives. . . . This is an example of the capabilities of the investigators they are sending."
Vivanco noted that citizens placed more than 5,000 complaints of abuses against naval and army forces during the Calderon government. "How many led to conviction? Thirty-eight," he added.
Recent years mark the bloodiest chapter in Mexico's history since its national revolution, which took more than 1 million lives between 1910 and 1920.
Other Latin nations have known intense periods of bloodshed as well. A period between 1948 and 1958 in Colombia, known as La Violencia, left 200,000 people dead.
Civil wars in Central America also left vast tolls. A Guatemalan insurgency that began in 1960 and lasted until 1996 triggered bloodshed that left 200,000 Guatemalans dead and 50,000 missing. Civil wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador took 60,000 and 75,000 lives, respectively.
Calculating the disappeared in Mexico draws particular challenges because of the nation's proximity to the United States and the tendency of some Mexicans to cross the border secretively, even slipping away without informing family members.
Some migrants – especially those from Central America – have fallen into the grasp of organized crime in northern Mexico and suffered mass killings. In August 2010, Mexican marines found the bodies of 72 migrants. Less than a year later, they found mass graves containing 193 bodies.
Verastegui said he believes the figure of 27,000 missing may actually be shy of the real number.
"In a great majority of the cases, people don't dare denounce the crime," he said, "because the authorities are the ones linked to organized crime or actually participated in the disappearances. The families are afraid."

The Open CETL
The Open University's Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
The Open University's mission is to make university study available to anybody, everywhere and at any time. This aspiration has always shaped the strategic choices of the University and its teaching methods.
The OU's four Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning reflected its commitment to be open to methods. Funded by HEFCE between 2005 and 2010 and drawn together into a collective known as the Open CETL, the Centres developed and strengthened methods of open learning in ways that reflect new social priorities and realities.
The Open CETL provided insights into delivery of effective life-long learning at scale and free from constraints of time and place.
With over 250 delegates, the Open CETL Conference once again proved to be an enormous success in 2009. The focus of this conference was to explore the ways in which the work of the four Centres could be carried forward and embedded into individual practices and across the University whilst celebrating the CETLs successes. A diverse programme with over 80 abstracts for short orals, workshops and simulations plus the ever popular poster presentation session ensured a captivated audience and stimulating conference.
After the conference, delegates were asked to a) provide three words that they would use to best describe the conference and b) how they would use the knowledge and understanding that they had gained from the conference in their own practice. We have created two word clouds using Wordle to illustrate that feedback.
To read more about the conference please visit our 'News' page.
