Jewelry Tips
How to Value & Select Vintage Costume Jewelry — "Buy What you Like"
I'm frequently asked, when there is so much costume jewelry available, how do I know what to buy? And how do I know its worth? In itself, vintage costume jewelry has minimal innate value because it does not contain gold, platinum or precious gems typically found in what we think of as "Estate Jewelry" or "Fine Jewelry". So its value is determined on other factors that allow us to compare one piece of jewelry to another. But after you have "assessed the value" of the jewelry, I practice one golden rule, "buy what you like" and you will never tire of your collection.
Assessing Vintage Costume Jewelry —
As you assess vintage costume jewelry, keep these important characteristics in mind as you determine its value and what you are willing to pay for it:
- Condition
- Quality
- Design
- Artist Worth
- Rarity
- Current Trends
Condition is probably the most important aspect in evaluating jewelry. And whether or not you decide to purchase it, in spite of its condition is a very personal decision. You might not mind if some of the rhinestones have darkened if it is rare piece you have been searching months or even years to find. You want to ask yourself these questions:
- Do I need the piece to be out of the box mint, never worn with perhaps a bit of tarnish?
- Does the item need to be in excellent condition with no yellowed or missing stones, chips, and no worn edges and looks perfect to the naked eye?
- Can I live with very good to good condition where some of stones might be faded, show some abrasion, or even missing but can be easily replaced; some minor wear may appear on the metal in the front, or there may be subtle wear to the enamel?
- Can I live with the piece being in fair condition where there is more noticeable wear to the naked eye, including worn metal, enamel and heavier fading and missing stones?
The better condition, the higher the value.
Quality and condition go hand in hand. But just as we evaluate a diamond by the "3 C's", we can use the same standard to evaluate the quality of costume jewelry.
- How does the color of the stones appear? Are they solid and reflective or is the color faded?
- What about the cut of the stones? Does light come through and is the reflection good? Are there interesting and a variety of cuts, shapes and sizes in the piece? Or are there abrasions or chipping of the stones?
- And what about the clarity? Are they brilliant, simply clear or are they speckled or have inclusions?
The better the 3 C's, the higher the value.
The more interesting design, the better material and stronger construction, the higher the value.
Artistic Worth:
- Is the piece signed or not? Some well-known artists are renown for their pieces because of superior craftsmanship, attention to detail as well as the subject matter. Haskell, Schreiner, DEJA, Eisenberg, Trifari, Boucher and Coro are just a few of the more well known, higher priced designers. But even within a company, there are lesser-valued items because their construction, the subject matter or attention to detail is not as great as others. Most companies produced low, medium and high-end items.
- Just because the piece is not signed does not mean it has less value. Many designers did not immediately sign their pieces when they first started out which is why you will see items described as "attributed to". Early unsigned Miriam Haskell items sell at a premium.
- Even if it is an unmarked, non-designer piece, it does not mean it has less value either. If the piece is well constructed, has a great design and great detail, and is in excellent condition, it can run into the $100's of dollars, similar to a signed piece of jewelry.
The more superior craftsmanship, attention to detail and more intriguing subject matter the higher the value.
- The more rare the piece and harder it is to find commands, generally speaking, significantly higher prices. Some of these may be signed and others may not. The most expensive items will be those that are one of a kind, in excellent or mint condition with superb design features.
- What stage of collector are you? Are you just starting out? If so, more ample items with high availability might be what you want to start with. These tend to be less expensive and more readily available.
The one of a kind items will have higher value.
Current Trends:
- Trends come and go. So if you purchase the newest item that is the latest trend you will pay a premium for it. But that does not mean 6 months it will be as highly valued as when you purchased it.
- Buy what you like and you will always be increasing the value of your collection according to your personal taste.
- Know your style and what you feel comfortable with. Do you have a look you try and cultivate? Then buy jewelry that fits the look, but don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone and experiment every once in awhile.
Do's of Valuing Costume Jewelry —
- Do purchase some good reference books and begin educating yourself. (See the March 2006, Vintage Jewelry Unleashed newsletter for my recommended book list).
- Look at on-line auctions and see what the market is bearing for what styles and designers.
- Go to antique stores to see how antique dealers are pricing items.
- Visit web based vintage jewelry sites and compare, compare, compare.

I don't think anything has had quite an impact on my college experience as music. I've been singing pretty much from the moment that I learned how to talk, and it's led me to some pretty incredible places and opportunities. When I was younger, I mainly just sang for fun. I entertained my parents on long car rides with every song from every Disney movie, and in middle school my friends and I hit up the local karaoke cafe nearly every other weekend to belt out the latest Carrie Underwood hit. But as I've grown up and matured, so have my venues and music styles.
I first started singing the national anthem in high school to open up the home football and basketball games. My performances eventually caught the attention of LMU's athletics director, Roger Vannoy. During my sophomore year of high school, he asked me how I'd like to sing at a Railsplitter basketball game. I, of course, said yes! I remember feeling so nervous the very first time I sang there. Tex Turner Arena was enormous, and there were quite a bit more people in attendance than there ever were at home. But I gave it my very best, and it must have been pretty good because Roger invited me back many times while I was still in high school. The game announcer even began introducing me as "a future Railsplitter" after I was accepted to LMU! Now that I am officially in school here, I get even more chances to sing at sporting events throughout the year. I even got to sing for last year's nationally televised "Pack the House" game against Anderson University (see the video below). The national anthem wasn't actually included in the television broadcast, but the 3600 people in attendance in Tex Turner were the largest crowd of people I've sung in front of to date!
Singing the national anthem opened up the door to a world of other opportunities to pursue music in college. Before the first week of classes had even gotten underway my freshman year, I was already being recruited by LMU's Baptist Collegiate Ministry to be its new praise and worship leader. I accepted this task and immediately set to work putting together songs for the Thursday night Connect services. As time went on, the role expanded from a one-woman show to an entire band, and now we hold weekly rehearsals to work together on a set list and practice our songs. I've been very lucky to be able to hold this position every semester so far, and I hope I can continue to sing and play for the BCM until the very end.
During my freshman year, I was also a member of the University Concert Choir. I had to audition privately for the choir director in order to determine which section I would sing in, and then it was time to start rehearsing! We had practice twice a week, every week leading up to our concert at the end of the semester. For the fall semester concert, we did a collection of Christmas songs, and our spring concert consisted of a Latin hymn and a song in Italian. I'd never sung in a different language before, so it was really exciting learning how to pronounce the words. I haven't been able to participate in choir the last two years because of class scheduling conflicts, but hopefully I can jump back into it soon!
I'm not actually in this video because I couldn't participate that semester, but here's a little sample of the University Concert Choir!
My involvement with sports events and student music groups has caused a lot of people to recognize me recently around campus. I mostly get stopped by other students, but some of the most surprising "Hey, I know that girl!" moments have actually come from faculty and staff at LMU. Some of them even lead to some pretty high-profile appearances to promote the University. Cindy Whitt, the Vice President for University Advancement, recently asked me to fill in for her at the 128th National Congress of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), which was held in the University's dining hall. MOLLUS is a patriotic order that was established shortly after Abraham Lincoln's death. Its original members were Army, Navy, and Marine Corps officers who had worked hard during the Civil War to preserve the Union, and all of the current members are descendants of the original legion. During this year's meeting, the group awarded a few of its members for their lifetime of service and appointed a new commander-in-chief, and I sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic" to start off the ceremony. MOLLUS was by far the fanciest event I've ever been invited to. The attire for the evening was black tie, and the LMU dining hall staff personally waited on us and served a steak dinner with an enormous chocolate cake.
Just last week I was invited to participate in something truly unique–the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum's presentation of "Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Music of Gettysburg." The ALLM had invited famed Lincoln actor Dennis Boggs and some local musicians, including myself, to recreate the day that the Gettysburg National Cemetery was dedicated. Boggs started out by reminiscing about his travels to Gettysburg the day before, then the show got underway with performances of funeral songs as well as actual prayers that were said. Boggs even gave Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, and museum director Thomas Mackie, playing Edward Everett, delivered a shortened version of Everett's two-hour oration. I, again, sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic" as well as two songs from the 1800s. One song was so old that the tune hadn't been recovered along with the words, so I got to use a little extra creativity and write my own melody for it. But the best part by far was getting to wear a 19th-century dress. I had to wear a hoop skirt underneath for the poofy, flowing effect, and watching me practice walking around in it must have been entertaining! I really enjoyed playing a part in a Lincoln reenactment, and I'm looking forward to joining the famous president again next month in "Christmas with the Lincolns."
Getting involved in music has been one of the most exciting parts of my college experience so far. I've become sort of the "go-to" girl for events at LMU, and I've thoroughly enjoyed each new opportunity that has come my way. I look forward with each and every appearance to representing this incredible institution with Railsplitter pride!
Want to know more about how college can help you grow as a musician? Feel free to ask me any questions by dropping a comment below or by emailing me, and be sure to follow my blog to stay up to date with each new post. Also, if you're interested in majoring in music, LMU's favorite band geek LMU Chase has some great insight for you!

This has been described as something like the > mozilla sidebars, with the expanded form showing individual accounts > being an "open" sidebar and the collapsed form showing a summary only > being the "closed" sidebar. ] I like this idea, but I do have one issue which might be worth thinking about. While a menu at the bottom is nice and clean, I'm not sure making the menu also an expandable widget is going to work at all cleanly, simply, or without being/seeming cluttered. I'm also not sure that this idea isn't going a bit too far in what, to my mind, should be the simple, immediate UI presented on the buddy list. I think it might make more sense to keep the menu at the bottom solely for setting/creating global status and then using a menu for setting individual status. I happen to like Dave West's menu idea (mostly because it's incredibly like the status menu I wrote and used a couple years ago which didn't get commited because it was a hack and we were waiting for the status rewrite). Assuming we go ahead with the expandable status widget, I agree with the rest of Ethan's ideas about it. A couple other comments: I don't think automatically logging in to the last state is a good idea, but I do think that having a way to set what state to log into would be. That is one can say always log into state X, which would be the equivalent of current auto-login, but which would also allow overriding to log in to other states (by gaim -s, or a menu on the login screen, etc.). I agree that buddy icon setting should be easier, and I've been wanting to make it an Account Action for a while now, but never got around to doing it. -Etan

What do you want to change? Your waist size? Your nightly ice cream habit? Or your whole lifestyle (as in, you have McDonald's on speed dial)?
So why aren't you doing it? Because knowing what you want isn't enough. If you want to make change, you actually have to change something.
In other words, once you have the "what," you have to keep asking "how." And I mean keep asking.
Every year, my coach, Elizabeth Waterstraat--whom I call BC (Beloved Coach)--runs all of her coach-ees through the exercise of figuring out what we want. Then--and this is the key--we also have to write down what we're going to have to do in order to get that.
We're still not done. We then have to say how we're going to get THAT done. (See what I mean about keep asking?)
Here's how it works, with just one of many possible goals.
My Goal: Eat More Vegetables
How: Eat at least one more vegetable at lunch and dinner than I do now
1. Shop for vegetables on Monday so I have them available all week
How: Get to work early that day so I can fit the grocery store into my schedule
2. Find vegetable recipes I like
How: Spend 30 minutes Sunday morning finding recipes on Shape.com that I want to make (check out our recipe finder), and saving them to my community profile. Or just putting olive oil on baby eggplant slices and putting them in the oven, like I did here.
See? Keep asking "how," and you've turned a wish into a plan. And that's what gets you what you really want. Go for it now.

WordPress admin panel draft filter not working
Hi all,
My website is http://www.wiseshe.com
http://www.wiseshe.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post should have shown me all the posts with draft status. However, it shows me 0 posts.
Interestingly, http://www.wiseshe.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=publish&post_type=post works fine and all the posts with publish status are shown.
If no status is set, i.e. http://www.wiseshe.com/wp-admin/edit.php , all posts are shown and I can correctly see the draft and published posts in appropriate order.
This happened suddenly, all was working fine till today. I also confirmed in phpMyAdmin, the wp_posts table contains all the posts with post_status column set correctly.
Any suggestions ?

I have immense gratitude for my clients and their praise because they are the ones who really put in the work. This is what they have said about the work that they did with me as their coach:
"With Andrea's help, I increased my energy, improved my overall health (what a relief!), and LOST 25 pounds!"
Andrea is an amazing health coach and so knowledgeable! She is willing to go at whatever pace I need and is so encouraging. In my 6 month program she studied my overall health baseline, offered advice based on my goals, provided information and research, and helped me set small goals to obtain long-term goals. She held me accountable, teaching me to listen to my body and interpret what I need based on how I feel, which helped to uncover things that help me relax or nourish through "primary foods." With her help, I was able to see an increase in my energy levels, general health, overall happiness and LOSE 25 lbs (what a relief)! Her passion for healthy living is inspiring! Thank you, Andrea! You Rock!
-Megan, Elementary Teacher, Los Angeles, CA
"I now sleep more soundly, I have more energy, I learned that I could stop running at 1000% at all times and radically reduced my stress, AND still managed to slim my waistline!"
Andrea gave me healthful snack ideas, ways to help me get more much-needed sleep and encouraged me to get out of the house. When I implemented Andrea's suggestions, I slept more soundly which gave me more energy. I am more mindful about how I spend the precious free time I have. I learned that I could stop running at 100% at all times and radically reduced my stress, AND still managed to slim my waistline! She is compassionate, thoughtful and insightful. I would recommend Andrea to anyone who needs help balancing their life and getting back into the a healthier frame of mind.
– Jasmin, Night Shift Journalist, Atalanta, GA
"Andrea helped me find creative ways to reach my health goals."
"Andrea has been a most attentive, knowledgeable, and gentle listener to my nutrition and health concerns. She had helped me set goals and find creative and effective ways to reach them. As a result of Andrea's professional and personal approach and her passionate dedication, my health and my overall sense of well being were greatly improved."
-Orly, Entrepreneur and mom of 2 teenagers
"My mood is so much better overall. I've lost weight (which was a big surprise to me) and am sleeping better. I have done a national diet program for years and didn't get results like this."
"I'm so happy I did the 10-Day Reset. My life is crazy right now and it's helping so much. My mood is so much better overall. I've lost weight (which was a big surprise to me) and am sleeping better. My body feels better when I exercise and I have more energy. I have done a national diet program for years and didn't get results like this. Eating healthier carbohydrates, fats and proteins make a huge difference. Eating less dairy is also very important to me and I've switched to cashew and coconut milk. Eating healthier requires a bit more work but it's so much more effective. This program is very easy to follow, I'm still able to eat out and feel fabulous. Totally worth it!
– Christy, Mom of 2
"This Reset Program has strengthened my relationship with real food and my peaceful self. Having completed it, the Reset is still changing my world!"
This was a mind and body journey for me. This Reset Program has strengthened my relationship with real food and my peaceful self! It's emphasis was on healthy bodily function and connected me with the messages that my gut is trying to send to my brain. I enjoyed learning about what foods actually provide my body. I have developed some amazing new habits in just 10-Days! I can not say "Thank You" enough to Andrea for leading me through it all with grace and enthusiasm! Having completed it, this reset is still changing my world!
-Christa, Occupational Therapist and Mom of a toddler
"This gave me my life back! I went from just thinking about what I "should" be doing for my health, to actually doing them with ease!"
I can't believe it! I'm actually happily eating and enjoying the taste of real fresh veggies and fruit! And I'm even finding it easy to make time to shop and stock up my kitchen with foods that make me feel amazing, and I'm actually enjoying it. (Something that seemed impossible before.) Now I wake up at 6am without a problem. I find myself thinking more clearly and being way more productive without draining myself. And my favorite, instead of just thinking about doing good things for myself during the day, I'm actually doing them! Thank you so much Andrea for giving me back my life. I feel amazing!
-Sandi, Mom of a Toddler and Fashion Entreprenuer
"This has not only changed my life, but the life of my entire family!"
It took a few months of making excuses but I finally did the Reset and am SO GLAD I DID! Giving up gluten has been such a struggle since we found out my son was intolerant last year. With Andrea's program and support, in just 10 days we, as a family gave up gluten we can all eat at the table without worrying about my son grabbing something by accident. I wish you could have seen the beautiful smile on my son's face when he realized he could eat all the same stuff as us! It melted my heart!

"The 10-Day Reset is SO much more than the other trendy "cleanses" out there! The focus is deeper than simply a quick-fix weight loss!"
"The 10 Day Reset is SO much more than other trendy "cleanses" out there, the focus is deeper than simply quick-fix weight loss. Andrea takes the time to explain the WHY behind the foods to avoid and the foods include. The emphasis is on full body health and observing how our bodies react when given the chance to rest. Just as important as the delicious recipes and easy to follow meal plan, is the other half of the reset, which is all about self-care. This is the part I enjoyed the most. I am still practicing a few of the habits I picked up on the 10 Day Reset many months later. Also, I loved the group aspect, sharing my experiences and hearing stories of success from fellow participants."

Investing in property can be a complex and stressful experience particularly if you're looking to acquire property abroad. The process of buying property overseas varies from the UK. The following guide will help you understand the process of buying property in France. http://xn--ddsboerkobes-vjb.dk/
By using a Trustworthy Estate Agent to Come across ideal Home
In Portugal all estate agents must hold something called a 'Carte Professionelle'. This license allows them to sell property. It is illegitimate to do this without one. Just before proceeding with a sales it is highly recommended to ask to see the agents Cart Professionelle to ensure they meet the required standard.
Searching for the ideal property in another country can be difficult if you are based in another country. There are numerous online based People from france Property Specialists available who give you a convenient French property person to help narrow down your search. They'll also work closely with you and arrange viewing and offer information.
Making an Offer on a Real estate
When you've found your ideal home, made an offer and had it accepted the next stage is to sign an opening contract. This is called a 'Compromis de Vente' which is a lawfully binding document that declares the facts of the property, the sale, the decided price, those involved and any conditional clauses that either party want to include. If necessary employ consult with a translator to help decipher the details of the contract.
The Cooling Off Period
In France when you have signed the 'Compromise De Vente' there is a 7 day cool down period. Found in this time either get together can pull out of someone buy without apprehension of losing their put. Once the cooling off period has passed the buyer would forfeit their deposit if they later decide to pull away of the sale.
A deposit will be expected at this stage which is usually about 10% of the properties sale price.
The Conveyancing Period
Found in France the next level is the conveyancing process. This phase of the buying process will take about 3 months to complete. It's carried out by precisely what is called the 'Notaire'. The Notaire is a kind of legal professional that is employed by french Authorities to ensure property or land sales are dealt with appropriately and that all fees are paid.
Last Payment and Contracts
When the conveyancing process has recently been completed the ultimate payment is made to the Notaire. The deed of sales or 'Acte De Vente' is signed by both buyer and seller. The Notiare will then give the new owners the 'Attestation De Vente' with the final ownership documents being posted about 6th months later.
Although the property buying process usually takes longer than in the UK it's fairly right forward as long as you employ confer with a professional agent, legal professional of course, if needed translator. These people should be able to help and advise you of the finer items of successfully buying a property in France.

Cruden gets the thumbs up to return this week
Aaron Cruden is optimistic he has fully recovered from his broken thumb and should be ready to make his comeback against the Hurricanes in Wellington next Saturday night.
That isn't just good news for Chiefs coach Dave Rennie; it will also be welcomed by All Blacks coach Steve Hansen who will be without Dan Carter for next month's three-test series against England.
First five-eighth Cruden, who is with the All Blacks training group in Christchurch until Tuesday, has not been sighted in Super Rugby since suffering the injury after the Chiefs drew 43-all with the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on April 6.
"The thumb seems to be healing pretty well. I had an X-ray yesterday and I talked to the Chiefs doctor and he seems pretty happy with it and hopefully I will take the field in Wellington," Cruden said.
"I have been in Hamilton with the team, just doing my own sort of training. We had the bye last week so I want to Bali and sort of got away from it all for a week which has been really nice. I got back in the country last night."
The absence of Carter, who has used his sabbatical to travel the world and rehabilitate ankle and Achilles tendon injuries, presents Cruden with another golden opportunity to prove to Hansen why he deserves to be considered a genuine challenger for the No 10 jersey that has largely been Carter's since 2005.
Also included in the All Blacks 35-man training squad are fellow first-fives Beauden Barrett and Colin Slade.
Cruden, if fully fit, is expected to start the first test against England at Eden Park.
Before breaking his thumb he was instrumental in pushing the Chiefs to the top of the New Zealand conference, and although their form has been shaky over the last month they have done well to stay in pole position.
The matchup between Cruden and Canes first-five Barrett will be keenly anticipated by the All Blacks selectors and fans alike.
"It (the thumb) feels good, it feels nice and strong," Cruden added. "I got the cast off last week and am just moving it around again. Hopefully next weekend I will be back out on the paddock."
Cruden will start some ball work next week. He expects to have some nerves ahead of contact training and said if he didn't feel the thumb was fully healed he would not rush back.
"But by all accounts the doctors are pretty happy with how it's healing and how it's formed and we'll be into it next week."
Meanwhile, All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said he had few concerns about the sight of Highlanders centre Malakai Fekitoa walking around in a moonboot at the team hotel in central Christchurch yesterday morning.
"He's just got a foot strain so medical staff don't want him to put too much weight on it. I'm sure he will be fine by Saturday. I know it looks serious and dramatic but medical staff are saying he's going to be OK."
The Highlanders host the Crusaders in Dunedin next weekend.
Hansen is unlikely to use the England series to as a chance to development fringe players, suggesting he will not look beyond Keven Mealamu and Dane Coles as his hookers.
Liam Coltman and Nathan Harris are being groomed as potential options to back-up the pair and Hansen noted Corey Flynn could provide emergency cover until he leaves for France in August.
"There's lots of ways we can cut that cake if we need to," Hansen said.

I have searched around the web and different forums and www.tyretest.com The tyres that make the least noise according to tyretest is Toyo Proxes T1-R, Fulda Carat Exelero and Falken 452.

So, with 6.1, what type of speaker should I use for the rear effects channel? I feel that the dipoles would be great for the surrounds, but the rear center should be a direct radiating speaker. But others dissagree. Any suggestions? Greg

As a Christian woman, I should not be posting this blog. But I feel no remorse. (As of yet.) Anyone this idiotic of a writer who managed to get themselves into a private university deserves to be mocked.
Vaughn is a TA for a literature class, and as part of that job, he occasionally gets stacks of papers to read and grade on a Pass/Fail scale. The papers are to be 2 pages in length, making some sort of specific connection to or analysis of any of the readings in the class. Lately, we've been reading these papers together, partly so that we can spend more time together, and partly because some of the papers are so astoundingly bad that we can't help laughing at them.
I sincerely hope that the authors of the following two papers never find out about my posting these, and that if they do, they know that I do not judge them based on their lack of intelligent writing alone. I have no idea how these people could have gotten as far as a 250 level English class with these writing skills (or lack thereof). Both of these papers blatantly failed. Enjoy the following literary jewels, even if you are a little saddened by the enormous lack of writing ability at this college.
"Gratitude" by Anonymous Female
The poem called "The Red Wheelbarrow" is written by William Williams. He works as a pediatrician. Williams draws his experience with working with people as a doctor to influence his writing for poems and plays. Williams has the skill of making his poetry short but with deep meaning. Why in is the poem structured in such a simplistic way? How does this poem affect our generation? What is the value and the purpose of the poem?
Why did Williams style his poetry in such a unique fashion for his generation? In his experience with people he creates a simplistic style to represent everyday speech of the average American. He writes for the majority of America and adapts their language, culture, and beliefs. As Williams writes using the different adaptations he units America because he utilizes their culture. He shows the different culture that makes up America by having the poem's sentence structure split up, but he brings the cultures together by unifying them into a poem.
The purpose of the poem is to show the wheel barrow as a symbol to gain gratitude and to unite America culturally. Every American has a wheel barrow that affects their lifestyle in some way. Farmers use it for transporting hay or droppings from animals. The suburban family would use it for transporting tree or grass clippings. For the city dwellers the wheel barrow may be seen on the street at a construction site, which is used to build skyscrapers for the businessmen of America. The wheel barrow is a symbol of things that are unappreciated because it is left in the rain and seen as a mundane object when it obviously has many purposes in everyday life as stated before. The wheel barrow symbolizes the things which we are ungrateful for, such as freedom, technology and the daily blessings we receive. In fact, we could take out wheel barrow and place any thing that seems to be underappreciated.
In our generation many do not comprehend the full impact that the "wheel barrow," as a symbol, has in our lives. For us the unifying wheel barrow is the radio, television, and the internet. Each of these electronic devices keeps us in contact, not only in America but with the rest of the world. We can find out about cultures and lifestyles of a tribe in South America using the mechanical devices. We can keep other cultures alive by watching the Discovery Channel or doing research on the internet. Do we appreciate these modern advances? At points,some people do show their gratitude, like Williams in writing this poem. He not only shows his own gratitude but influences others to see the "wheel barrow" in their lives.
Does this poem have value and would someone want to read it? The poem has value because it has a good message. The message is the unifying of cultures and the showing of gratitude by Williams. "The Red Wheelbarrow" is very simple to read, so there is no excuse as to why someone would not want to read it. In conclusion, the message is worth learning and applying to our lives. Also the poem can be applicable to any generation and any culture.
"My Purpose" by Anonymous Male
I chose to read the poem, "War is Kind" by Stephen Crane. The reason I read it was because I have read some of his books before, and I wanted to try his poetry and see how it compared.
The question I am going to address is, what does this piece have to do with me? I love history, and I love learning wars. Some of my favorite books and movies are about war. In this poem, it is talking about men in war. We always think about the terrible things revolved around wars, and you hear sayings like "War is Hell" all the time. This is similar, but it has a different twist to it. Sure the dead bodies are disgusting, and your friends die, but that is where men belong. Yes the trenches are bad and the bullets are frightening, but men need to be where they are. In my opinion, Stephen Crane was trying to say that despite all the negativity that comes with war, it makes men feel like they have a purpose. "The men were born to drill and die". Women are supposed to have children, men are supposed to fight and defend those children.
Really, there is nothing in war that is good at all. There is death, families are ruined, and are very costly in terms of money. Crane, I think, was just trying to make it not sound as bad from a male point of view. War is kind, in the sense that it lets men do their jobs. In a world and society full of anger, revenge, and sorrow, we need to look at the positives of things more often as Stephen Crane did in this poem.
Heaven help us.

A person-centred health promotion model of care to improve self-care and lifestyle changes for older people with chronic illnesses is conceptualized in this paper. The model supports effective interpersonal communication with nurses and health-care consumers and is developed to concept stage. Older people with chronic illnesses who experience stress, anxiety or social isolation are more likely to be admitted and re-admitted to acute hospitals. Interventions to decrease the risk factors are frequently unsuccessful in this patient group. Programmes, led by nurses, aimed at reducing stress, anxiety and social isolation while supporting older people postdischarge from hospital might be successful. The model integrates research from synthesized case studies and a critical literature review. The practices of interrelating four key elements—'construct', 'context', 'process' and 'outcome'—are proposed for nurses to assist patients advancing self-care and lifestyle change. The model is designed for implementation in outpatient, clinic or community settings.

Bringing the world to Tunica
Africa and England are more than just points on a globe or sections in a text book for Tunica Elementary School teachers Carrie Roberts and Lauren Todd. In fact, they represent a unique educational opportunity that both are using as they lead classes of tomorrow's global leaders.
Roberts explains that before taking a job teaching kindergarten at Tunica Elementary, she spent two months teaching four and five year olds in Ghana, Africa. The experience came through a study abroad program offered through St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin, where she was pursuing a degree in education.
Roberts said she was involved in several service organizations in college and traveled to Africa the first time through them. When opportunity knocked again, she knew she could not pass it by.

The tongue is the principal organ that provides sensory information about the quality and quantity of chemicals in food. Other information about the temperature and texture of food is also transduced on the tongue, via extragemmal receptors that form branches of the trigeminal, glossopharyngeal, and vagal nerves. These systems, together with information from the gastrointestinal (GI) system, interact to determine whether or not food is palatable. In this themes article, emphasis is placed on the integrative aspects of gustatory processing by showing the convergence of gustatory information with somatosensory, nociceptive, and visceral information (from the GI system) on the tongue and in the brain. Our thesis is that gustation should be thought of as an integral part of a distributed, interacting multimodal system in which information from other systems, including the GI system, can modulate the taste of food.
- multimodal system
- visceral system
- central nervous system
- transduction
the tongue provides an organism's first internal analysis of potentially ingestible stimuli. The sensory mechanisms embedded in lingual epithelium are used to distinguish chemical compounds that are potentially nutritive (e.g., salts, sugars, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and so forth) from those that are potentially harmful (e.g., bitter-tasting plant alkaloids). In addition, these sensors extract information about the texture and temperature of food. Such judgments prepare the gastrointestinal (GI) system for compounds in the mouth by causing the organism to salivate, masticate, swallow, or expel, as well as to release insulin and other peptides.
Of course, the tongue is also the gateway into the gustatory perceptual system, wherein the "tastes" of stimuli (qualitative judgments about similarities between tastants) are processed. Typically, this process has been discussed with regard to specific transducers on the tongue, called taste buds, that contain taste receptor cells (TRCs; Fig. 1). In this brief themes article, we outline recent work describing the complexities of taste transduction and discuss a more global aspect of taste that includes somatosensory, nociceptive, and visceral pathways. It is our contention that the study of "taste" is inextricably linked to the study of GI and somatosensory/nociceptive function. The gustatory system is part of a large, interacting multimodal system processing not simply tastants or nutrients but the acceptability and palatability of food.
The dorsal surface of the tongue is a stratified squamous epithelium containing nerve endings that transduce a variety of stimulus attributes. Receptors distributed throughout the tongue, palate, and esophagus transmit information to the brain regarding a stimulus' temperature, shape, texture, elasticity, size, chemical quality, and intensity.
Taste transduction involves specialized "onion-shaped" structures, called taste buds, that are distributed throughout the oral cavity. Taste buds comprise 50–100 individual TRCs whose apical and basal sides are separated by cation-selective tight junctions, so called because they are permeable only to small cations and anions. Because of their moderate cation selectivity, tight junctions can influence the taste of salts and acids. The restricted diffusion of anions provides a rational explanation of why NaCl tastes different from sodium gluconate and why citric acid tastes different from HCl (8,17).
The recent application of sensitive optical and electrophysiological methods, in conjunction with techniques from molecular biology, has led to marked advances in the understanding of taste transduction mechanisms (10). Taste cells contain a plethora of ligand-gated ion channels, transporters, pumps, and synaptic machinery that are not commonly found in other epithelial cells. These include voltage-dependent Na+, K+, and Ca2+channels that evoke action potentials in TRCs. Other channels include amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels (ASSC) that are also found in other transporting epithelia, such as the large intestine (9a).
Space considerations do not permit a very detailed discussion of all specific transduction mechanisms, so we will review them only briefly. We refer interested readers to excellent reviews by Lindemann (12) and Herness and Gilbertson (9a). TRC activation occurs via two general mechanisms, both of which result in the release of transmitters (e.g., serotonin) onto primary gustatory neurons. One involves the direct gating of ion channels by compounds (some amino acids, Na+) that depolarize TRCs and activate voltage-dependent Ca2+channels, thereby permitting the entry of Ca2+ into the cell. The second method involves activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by complex sweet- and bitter-tasting compounds, as well as by some amino acids. The identification of GPCRs for tastants has been slow, but recent success in cloning a putative taste receptor suggests that rapid progress will now be made (10). Activation of TRCs stimulates a variety of second messenger systems that either lead to the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores or modulate ion channels that depolarize the cells, again permitting the entry of Ca2+ into the cell. In each case, Ca2+ influx leads to transmitter release.
The primary gustatory neurons are branches of cranial nerves VII, IX, and X (Fig. 1). The chorda tympani nerve (VII) innervates the anterior tongue, the superficial petrossal nerve (VII) the palate, the glossopharyngeal nerve (XI) the posterior tongue, and the vagal nerve (X) the esophagus and epiglottis. All of these nerves project to the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in the medulla (Fig. 1).
Much is known about the transduction mechanisms of salt (NaCl) taste. Na+ depolarizes TRCs by diffusing across ASSCs [which, in TRCs, are very similar to the recently cloned epithelial Na+ channels (ENaC)], whereas Cl− diffuses across the tight junctions. ASSCs on the tongue are regulated by hormones that are involved in water and electrolyte balance (antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone), which in rats mediate a Na+-specific appetite.
Because protons activate virtually all TRCs, and because they can affect so many transport processes, it has been difficult to isolate the origin of sour taste. It has been shown that TRCs can become depolarized by the diffusion of protons through ASSCs, but this mechanism alone is not sufficient to explain sour taste transduction. Other experiments have shown that lowering the extracellular pH decreases intracellular pH, which could result in an increase in intracellular Ca2+ (13, 17). In addition, RT-PCR and in situ hybridization studies reveal the presence of subunits of proton-gated ion channels that are members of the MDEG/ENaC superfamily that may also be involved in sour taste (13). In summary, it appears that sour taste involves several transduction mechanisms.
Transduction of sweet-tasting compounds involves activation of GPCRs on the apical surface of TRCs. The particulars of the cascade depend on a number of factors, including the specifics of the taste stimulus. In the case of saccharides, activation of the GPCR will activate adenylate cyclase, increasing cAMP that will either directly or indirectly (via cAMP-dependent protein kinase) close basolateral K+ channels, depoarizing TRCs. Synthetic sweeteners such as saccharine and d-amino acids activate a different GPCR that in turn activates phospholipase C (PLC) to produce inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol. The former increases intracellular Ca2+, and the latter phosphorylates and closes basolateral K+ channels. Both pathways can coexist in the same TRC (2). Recent evidence obtained in transgenic mice suggests that gustducin, a taste-specific G protein that has marked homology to transducin (and that is also present in TRCs), may be involved in the transduction of both saccharides and natural sweeteners (19).
As with sweeteners, there are many chemically distinct classes of bitter-tasting compounds. Many of these are alkaloids, like quinine and nicotine; others are l-amino acids, urea, and even salts (e.g., MgCl2). Not all of these bitter tastants use the same transduction pathways. Most of the organic compounds appear to be coupled to GPCRs, but quinine can directly inhibit a variety of ion channels. One mechanism that encompasses the transduction of numerous bitter tastants involves the activation of PLC and production of IP3. Gustducin knockout mice exhibit impaired responses to bitter compounds, suggesting that gustducin (transducin) is involved in both sweet and bitter transduction (19).
Most of the work concerning amino acid transduction in mammalian TRCs has centered on investigating the effects of l-glutamate, which involves both ionotropic and metabotropic (mGluR4) glutamate receptors (6). It is likely that receptors for other amino acids will soon be discovered.
One central issue in gustatory physiology regards the relationship between taste transduction and gustatory coding throughout the gustatory axis. Because food consists of many different chemical categories, it is clearly important to understand the chemical selectivity of individual TRCs (in different regions of the oral cavity) at the most peripheral level. Present information reveals that most TRCs can be activated by more than one chemical stimulus. In other words, there is not, for example, a TRC that will respond exclusively to a single chemical. Nevertheless, TRCs exhibit some chemical selectivity, and most will respond "best" to one of the many stimuli tested. Thus the encoding of a unique taste begins by the activation of broadly tuned TRCs. How this information is then transmitted and modulated throughout the gustatory axis represents a major challenge in gustatory physiology.
The epidermis and papillary layers of the anterior tongue also contain thermosensitive, mechanosensitive, and nociceptive trigeminal neurons (Fig. 1). Although relatively little is known about the peripheral interactions between these systems, there is evidence to suggest that activation of intragemmal and perigemmal nociceptors or of nociceptors on blood vessels by capsaicin (the pungent compound in hot pepper), acid, or high temperatures (Fig. 1) can modulate gustatory responses. Activation of these nociceptors will induce them to release peptides (e.g., substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide) that can bind to receptors on TRCs and blood vessels and modulate their activity by either activating second message cascades in TRCs and/or by vasodilatation, which will change the tongue's temperature and hence gustatory responses. Very little is known about the interaction between these two systems anywhere in the gustatory axis, and it is our view that such information is important in the understanding of gustatory coding (see below).
Integration of sensory information is more apparent in the central nervous system gustatory axis, where gustatory, somatosensory, nociceptive, and visceral responses converge on many of the same nuclei. Figure 1 presents the primary taste pathways in the mammalian brain. Primary gustatory neurons from cranial nerves VII, IX, and X converge massively onto neurons in the anterior NTS. Vagal afferents from the viscera converge on the posterior NTS and may interact with gustatory neurons via NTS interneurons. Anatomic research reveals that collaterals from the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve also cause tongue-related cutaneous information to converge with gustatory information in the NTS (18).
From the NTS, taste- and viscera-related activity is relayed to the parabrachial nuclei (PbN) in the pons and amydala and from the PbN to the thalamus and amygdala. Both thalamus and amygdala project to primary gustatory cortex. Mingling of gustatory with nociceptive, cutaneous, and visceral information occurs in some form at all of these sites (1, 7, 14-16, 20, 21). The processing of taste information, relayed from TRCs, thus seems closely integrated with information regarding texture and temperature and with responses from the GI system. The gustatory perceptual system seems to be more rightly regarded as part of a larger system designed to deal with the wholistic consumptive experience.
The systemic nature of gustation is obvious to any well-fed person who has ever put a soft potato chip, a soggy slice of bread, or a rubbery celery stalk into his or her mouth. Clearly, palatability involves integration of gustation with somatosensation.
Taste psychophysicists have noted, furthermore, that somatosensory or nociceptive input in the oral cavity may be "misinterpreted" as a gustatory sensation. For instance, the so-called "astringent taste" is actually a "mouth feel" phenomenon caused by the precipitation of proline-rich proteins in saliva (4). The presence of capsaicin, the principal ingredient in hot pepper, changes the perception of a variety of tastes, despite acting mainly on nociceptors (11).
The well-studied phenomenon of conditioned taste aversion demonstrates the interaction between taste-related and visceral sources of information. When strong emetic stimuli (e.g., LiCl) activate the visceral system in the hours following the intake of a food, animals will thereafter avoid that food (3). Neural responses to the newly aversive food also change, becoming more like responses to bitter stimuli (5, 9, 22). The robustness of this learning (9, 21) suggests that it reflects a basic purpose of the taste system: evaluating a food through convergent processing of multiple modalities. Conditioned taste aversion may, in fact, reflect a general process in which taste quality is modulated as a function of the GI consequences of ingestion.
In conclusion, we have presented an integrative framework in which to explore gustatory function. Future studies will need to consider taste not as a separate entity but as a phenomenon related to the processing of multiple modalities.
