At the beginning of the year I was all fired up to remodel our kitchen. I started by building a new Kitchen Island.
The look I was going for was a vintage shop counter. The kitchen remodel stopped there though because as I mentioned above I quit my day job to pursue my passion. It's been an amazing journey for me. I plan to post more about it (the good, bad, and the ugly) soon for those of you who have thought of doing it yourself.
I started by renting a small space in a local gift shop.
I also decided to try my luck selling on Craig's List. For the most part it works pretty well. All the above items sold within a week but not everything I've posted has.
Then I DIY'd some Built in cabinets for our Dining Room. Totally abandoning the kitchen.
As well as a Ship's Ladder, my favorite Home Improvement Project to date. If you click on the link you will see the nightmare that was there before. Major Improvement. I just think they are so darn cute.
Then it was Spring and I did a little work in the garden and built a Gate and Trellis out of Pallets and some reclaimed wood.
By this time the Store I had my space in downsized so I went looking for a space somewhere else and found a home at Abundance Vintage in Downtown Centralia.
I started by consigning a few pieces which led to renting the window for a month, then my own space. This is when all projects at home stopped because I decided to focus on pieces I could sell. I have been building, re-purposing and painting for a long time but never to sell. It's a totally different deal when you want to sell your creations. I have really enjoyed figuring it all out and hope to find a better balance in 2013. Here's a few of my favorite items that I have either built or refurbished to sell.
I have some exciting things coming up in the New Year including teaching Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Classes at Abundance Vintage. There couldn't be a more perfect product for me to talk about. I love distressed chippy finishes and what this product can do. If you are local and interested in taking a class visit Abundance Vintage on facebook or send me an email for details.
I want to thank all of you who read my blog. It seems whenever I need a boost one of you will come through for me with a thoughtful email or comment. I hope that once in awhile I come through for you too with some inspiration. Here's to another great year!

Greencastle, IN
Associate Professor of History and Faculty Development Coordinator
Research and Teaching Interests
My research interests are in medieval Islamic science and medicine, and medieval Islamic intellectual history. My earlier research has examined the intersections of philosophy, theology and medical physiology in the works of Ibn al-Nafis, a 13th century physician-jurist who first posited the pulmonary transit of blood. The significance of this result is that it forms the basis of William Harvey's (d. 1657) theory of blood circulation, three centuries later. More recently, I have been examining the evolution of medical commentaries in post-1250 Islamic societies, particularly in the context of the changing relationship between medicine and philosophy, on the one hand, and medicine and religion, on the other.
The courses I teach inform and are informed by my research interests, particularly those in the areas of history of science, Islamic intellectual history and Mediterranean exchanges and encounters.

Rsanchez2007 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
I'm an amateur graphic designer in need of some professional help. I have seen many companies make attempts at the Hispanic market, but I feel only few of them have been successful. Style is a predominant force in the culture, and I hope to influence emotion with my t-shirt designs. I'm looking for a graphic artist that is emotionally invested in their work. Someone who sees their style as an extension of their personality.
I tried a contest once before but was disappointed to find that my favorite designs used existing design components from http://www.chadlonius.com/static/freevectors.htm, so I pulled the contest due to copyright fears. This time around I'm guaranteeing the prize in hopes that it will entice more creative designs. However, I've already done a Google image search for "El Cucuy," and noticed that some of the previous designs used these images without proper authorization. Don't attempt to submit a design if it's not original or if you don't have copyrights to all the used components.
My target market is the young Hispanic Market in the United States. My designs should appeal to young professionals in their 20s (mostly 20-25 year olds). This calls for a young, trendy look, but not over-the-top childish. I best describe it as a style that shows they're mature, yet still up for a good time.
For this specific design, I'm targeting males.
Look at graphic tees from Express, DKNY, and Armani for guidance on what type of style I'm looking for. The concept of this design is "El Cucuy," which is the spanish boogeyman. See wikipedia for short background:
The goal of this shirt is to create a hip, stylistic shirt, but has a secondary (backdrop) design that's funny. To describe it best, I want people to, at first glance, appreciate the artistic design of the shirt then have a smirk as they realize that the design is comedic in nature.
Stylistic Preferences:
Witty, but not childish funny!
Clear, clean typography (background can be as busy as you see fit)
20-25 y.o. age group
Material Requirements:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please visit the current state of my site, which is a bare bones work in progress, at http://www.litachanclita.com for a glimpse of what stylistic direction I'm heading in.
Current designs were created by myself, so if you feel you can't produce something of a higher caliber, please save both of our time and don't enter this contest!
See attached imaged for style preferences. Have fun with it!

Red Hat Delivers RHEL 6.3 Beta
Last week, the Linux Planet celebrated the launch of Ubuntu 12.04, the Precise Pangolin. While the new Ubuntu release introduced both desktop and cloud based innovations, it wasn't the only active party on the Linux Planet.
1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3
Red Hat released the first beta for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.3 last week, providing a long list of updates and new features for enterprise Linux users.
Virtualization is the biggest winner in the RHEL 6.3 update. The new Virt-P2V tool lets users create virtual KVM images of physical RHEL systems. This is a much needed tool to help workload mobility and more specifically the use of KVM.
From a virtual security perspective, the RHEL 6.3 update provides compliance with PCI-DSS, by enabling virtual machine disks to be securely wiped.
The other key challenge for virtualization is always about scalability which is something that RHEL 6.3 also addresses. The new update enables enterprises to run up to 160 virtual CPUs up from only 64 in RHEL 6.2. As well KVM guests can now tap into as much as 2 TB of memory up from 512 GB in previous RHEL releases.
2) Xfce 4.10
While GNOME and KDE tend to dominate the Linux desktop deployment landscape, they aren't the only desktops.
This week Xfce 4.10 was released, providing an alternative for those seeking a lighterweight desktop experience. A key new addition in Xfce 4.10 is an improved application finder.
"It is now possible to launch applications and open files on the desktop with a single click of the mouse. In addition, the 4.10 desktop can display thumbnails and automatically advance through the wallpaper list."
The Xfce 4.10 release comes 16 months after the Xfce 4.8 was released.
3) Google Drive
Google finally launched their online storage service last week, though they left Linux users out in the cold. Instead of providing Linux users with the same opportunities as Windows users, Google's Linux support is lagging. This lack of support comes not long after Google decided to terminate support for Picassa on Linux.
The only official word from Google about Gdrive support is from staffer Teresa Wu who wrote: We're working on Linux support - hang tight!

Community-based conservation action in Rajasthan, India drives effort to save an important medicinal plant.
Commiphora wightii or 'Guggul', as it is known locally, is derived from the Aravali hills of Rajasthan state. The plant's gum-resin has been a key component in the ancient Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine as an effective treatment for bone fractures, arthritis, inflammation and obesity. Now it is also widely used in modern medicine for heart problems. Unfortunately, the Guggul Tree has become scarce because of over-harvesting for its valuable resources.
In 2008, The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ listed 45 tree species from India as Critically Endangered and 246 plant species as Threatened. Guggul is listed as Data Deficient because of lack of research to establish its conservation status.
"Indian animals facing extinction are widely talked about but hundreds of plant species are quietly slipping into extinction and nobody seems to care," says CEC member Vineet Soni, Assistant Professor in the School of Life Science, Jaipur National University, Jaipur, India.
"Conservation cannot work without the involvement of the people who depend on biodiversity. Therefore, with the help of friends, I am organizing a series of awareness programmes in different rural areas of Rajasthan state about the importance of plants and their conservation," Vineet explains.
The Guggal Bachao Abhiyan (Save Guggul Movement) in carried out in collaboration with villagers and friends, and is receiving warm appreciation from the local villagers and tribes. This conservation work has received support from the IUCN Sir Peter Scott Fund.

Was Jonah truly swallowed by a whale?Question: "Was Jonah truly swallowed by a whale?"
Answer: The story of Jonah is the amazing tale of a disobedient prophet who, upon being swallowed by a whale (or a "great fish" - see below) and vomited upon the shore, reluctantly led the reprobate city of Nineveh to repentance. The biblical account is often criticized by skeptics because of its miraculous content. These miracles include:
• A Mediterranean storm, both summoned and dissipated by God (1:4-16).
• A massive fish, appointed by God to swallow the prophet after he was thrown into the sea by his ship's crew (1:17).
• Jonah's survival in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, or his resurrection from the dead after being vomited upon the shore, depending on how you interpret the text (1:17).
• The fish vomiting Jonah upon shore at God's command (2:10).
• A gourd, appointed by God to grow rapidly in order to provide Jonah with shade (4:6).
• A worm, appointed by God to attack and whither the shady gourd (4:7).
• A scorching wind, summoned by God to discomfort Jonah (4:8).
Critics also find Nineveh's repentance (3:4-9) hard to believe, though it isn't technically a miracle. In actual fact, Nineveh's repentance makes perfect sense given Jonah's extraordinary arrival upon the shores of the Mediterranean and the prominence of Dagon worship in that particular area of the ancient world. Dagon was a fish-god who enjoyed popularity among the pantheons of Mesopotamia and the eastern Mediterranean coast. He is mentioned several times in the Bible in relation to the Philistines (Judges 16:23-24; 1 Samuel 5:1-7; 1 Chronicles 10:8-12). Images of Dagon have been found in palaces and temples in Nineveh and throughout the region. In some cases he was represented as a man wearing a fish. In others he was part man, part fish—a merman, of sorts.
As for Jonah's success in Nineveh, Orientalist Henry Clay Trumbull made a valid point when he wrote, "What better heralding, as a divinely sent messenger to Nineveh, could Jonah have had, than to be thrown up out of the mouth of a great fish, in the presence of witnesses, say on the coast of Phoenicia, where the fish-god was a favorite object of worship? Such an incident would have inevitably aroused the mercurial nature of Oriental observers, so that a multitude would be ready to follow the seemingly new avatar of the fish-god, proclaiming the story of his uprising from the sea, as he went on his mission to the city where the fish-god had its very centre of worship" (H. Clay Trumbull, "Jonah in Nineveh." Journal of Biblical Literature, Vol. 2, No.1, 1892, p. 56).
Some scholars have speculated that Jonah's appearance, no doubt bleached white from the action of the fish's digestive acids, would have been of great help to his cause. If such were the case, the Ninevites would have been greeted by a man whose skin, hair and clothes were bleached ghostly white—a man accompanied by a crowd of frenetic followers, many of who claimed to have witnessed him having been vomited upon the shore by a great fish (plus any colorful exaggerations they might have added).
Jonah needed only to cause enough of a stir to gain himself admittance to the king who, upon believing Jonah's message of imminent doom for himself, would have the power to proclaim a citywide day of fasting and penance. According to the biblical narrative that's exactly what happened (Jonah 3:6-9). So we see that, given the caveat that Jonah was spewed upon the shore by a great fish, Nineveh's repentance follows from a very logical progression.
As for Jonah's aquatic experience (which is the crux of the story), while there is no conclusive historical proof that Jonah was ever swallowed by a fish and lived to tell about it, there is some provocative corroboratory evidence. In the 3rd century B.C., a Babylonian priest/historian named Berosus wrote of a mythical creature named Oannes who, according to Berosus, emerged from the sea to give divine wisdom to men. Scholars generally identify this mysterious fish-man as an avatar of the Babylonian water-god Ea (also known as Enki). The curious thing about Berosus' account is the name that he used: Oannes.
Berosus wrote in Greek during the Hellenistic Period. Oannes is just a single letter removed from the Greek name Ioannes. Ioannes happens to be one of the two Greek names used interchangeably throughout the Greek New Testament to represent the Hebrew name Yonah (Jonah), which in turn appears to be a moniker for Yohanan (from which we get the English name John). (See John 1:42; 21:15; and Matthew 16:17.) Conversely, both Ioannes and Ionas (the other Greek word for Jonah used in the New Testament) are used interchangeably to represent the Hebrew name Yohanan in the Greek Septuagint, which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Compare 2 Kings 25:23 and 1 Chronicles 3:24 in the Septuagint with the same passages from the Hebrew Old Testament.
As for the missing "I" in Ioannes, according to Professor Trumbull who claims to have confirmed his information with renowned Assyriologist Dr. Herman V. Hilprecht before writing his own article on the subject, "In the Assyrian inscriptions the J of foreign words becomes I, or disappears altogether; hence Joannes, as the Greek representative of Jona, would appear in Assyrian either as Ioannes or as Oannes" (Trumbull, ibid., p. 58).
Nineveh was Assyrian. What this essentially means is that Berosus wrote of a fish-man named Jonah who emerged from the sea to give divine wisdom to man – a remarkable corroboration of the Hebrew account.
Berosus claimed to have relied upon official Babylonian sources for his information. Nineveh was conquered by the Babylonians under King Nabopolassar in 612 B.C., more than 300 years before Berosus. It is quite conceivable, though speculative, that record of Jonah's success in Nineveh was preserved in the writings available to Berosus. If so, it appears that Jonah was deified and mythologized over a period of three centuries, first by the Assyrians, who no doubt associated him with their fish-god Dagon, and then by the Babylonians, who appear to have hybridized him with their own water-god, Ea.
In addition to Berosus' account, Jonah appears elsewhere in the chronicles of Israel as the prophet who predicted Jeroboam II's military successes against Syria in the 8th century before Christ (2 Kings 14:25). He is said to be the son of Amittai (cf. Jonah 1:1) from the town of Gath-hepher in lower Galilee. Flavius Josephus reiterates these details in his Antiquities of the Jews (chapter 10, paragraph 2). Jonah was not an imaginary figure invented to play the part of a disobedient prophet, swallowed by a fish. He was part of Israel's prophetic history.
As for the city of Nineveh, it was rediscovered in the 19th century after more than 2,500 years of obscurity. It is now believed to have been the largest city in the world at the time of its demise (see Tertius Chandler's Four Thousand Years of Urban Growth: An Historical Census). According to Sir Austen Henry Layard, who chronicled the rediscovery of Nineveh in his classic Discoveries at Nineveh, the circumference of Greater Nineveh was "exactly three days' journey," as recorded in Jonah 3:3 (Austen Henry Layard, A Popular Account of Discoveries at Nineveh, J. C. Derby: New York, 1854, p. 314). Prior to its rediscovery, skeptics scoffed at the possibility that so large a city could have existed in the ancient world. In fact, skeptics denied the existence of Nineveh altogether. Its rediscovery in the mid-1800s proved to be a remarkable vindication for the Bible, which mentions Nineveh by name 18 times and dedicates two entire books (Jonah and Nahum) to its fate.
It is interesting to note where the lost city of Nineveh was rediscovered. It was found buried beneath a pair of tells in the vicinity of Mosul in modern-day Iraq. These mounds are known by their local names, Kuyunjik and Nabi Yunus. Nabi Yunus happens to be Arabic for "the Prophet Jonah." The lost city of Nineveh was found buried beneath an ancient tell named after the Prophet Jonah.
As for the whale, the Bible doesn't actually specify what sort of marine animal swallowed Jonah. Most people assume that it was a cachalot (also known as the sperm whale). It may very well have been a white shark. The Hebrew phrase used in the Old Testament, gadowl dag, literally means "great fish." The Greek used in the New Testament is këtos which simply means "sea creature." There are at least two species of Mediterranean marine life that are known to be able to swallow a man whole. These are the cachalot and the white shark. Both creatures are known to prowl the Mediterranean and have been known to Mediterranean sailors since antiquity. Aristotle described both species in his 4th-century B.C. Historia Animalium.
So we now have three of the four major players: Jonah, Nineveh and the man-eating fish. All that remains is the fourth major player: God. Skeptics scoff at the miracles described in the book of Jonah as if there were no mechanism by which such events could ever occur. That is their bias. We are inclined, however, to believe that there is One who is capable of manipulating natural phenomena in such supernatural ways. We believe that He is the Creator of the natural realm and is not, therefore, circumscribed by it. We call Him "God," and we believe that He sent Jonah to Nineveh to bring about their repentance.
God has made Himself known throughout history in many diverse ways, not the least of which was His incarnation in the Person of Jesus Christ. Not only does Jesus give us reason to believe that there exists One who is able to perform miracles, He gives us every confidence that such events have, in fact, occurred.
Jesus spoke of Jonah's ordeal as a real historical event. He used it as a typological metaphor for His own crucifixion and resurrection, itself a miraculous event. Matthew quoted Jesus as saying, "For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea creature, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, Someone greater than Jonah is here" (Matthew 12:40-41; cf. Luke 11:29-30, 32).
The evidence is such that any Christian should have confidence to believe and any skeptic should think twice before dismissing Jonah as a fairy tale.

Spot or Not: Pine Creek
by Josh Kirby
Last time we hit Pine Creek, seven of us hit it and five of us got hurt. One of the five broke his wrist (yeah Shawn). About three years ago I was taking Adam A. to his car after a night of not partying, I saw some water falling in the distance and nearly freaked Adam out with my excitement. Shortly after, Ben Caruso and I started hitting the spot that is Pine Creek.
Pine Creek is a drainage ditch from one of the canals in the UCF area, about a _ mile walk with a winch to the spot. To even turn pine creek into a gap one must pull away a barrier that blocks the top of the drop off. In order to do such one must wade in garbage water containing old meat wrappers and other gross things the fishers pollute the gap with. After that, the rider must clear away the numerous boulders that occupy the landing area. Due to this barrier there are two, 3 1/2 foot poles the rider must thread through right before hitting the gap.
Once you get past all of the set up the shredding begins. One of the great parts about Pine Creek is that it is never the same gap. And the rope-walk from the spot is short and easy. Depending on the rain situation, the drop off can be anywhere from one to three feet. One time B.C. even ollied up the gap. Unfortunately, if the water level is too low in the bottom pool, the spot is unhittable due the cement under the landing area.
Pine Creek is a great spot to chill and hit all day with bros due to that the bust factor is 0 (so far). It is also great for polishing up on your winch tricks before taking them to the big boy spots. It was the first gap that Nick and I ever k-flipped down, first for B.C. to switch 180, and first for Grasso to ever hit. Get some!
For the past few months I have believed that winching in Orlando is dead, but recent events have lead me to think otherwise. Spots in Orlando still exist and Pine Creek is one of them. If you winch it please respect it, don't trash your winch spots. Keep these spots alive for all riders. After writing this article Grasso and I have came to the conclusion that… Mikey T is awesome!

Iowa Graduate Theology Schools & Programs
Graduate theology schools help students to explore religious ideas like god, the divine, and other metaphysical concepts. They might do this by studying not only the bible, but also theological scholarship, Christian philosophy, and other religious texts and teachings. Theology graduate schools—which potentially includes divinity school and seminary school programs within a university—are anchored in a certain faith tradition, and may explore theological concepts from that perspective. However, in some cases, secular programs could also be available. Theology graduate schools may offer masters degrees, doctorates, and graduate certificates.
Why Consider Attending Graduate Theology Schools?
Graduate theology schools could be a supportive option to pursue expertise in religious scholarship. You might choose to attend a convenient part-time program local to you, a full time residential program in an exciting new city, or something in between! Either way, you'd have the opportunity to study under experienced faculty, developing personal relationships with your peers and mentors. And you could use the resources available on your school's campus, like research materials, technology, and even academic support. Some theology graduate schools even offer flexible scheduling options, including night classes that could accommodate a full time work schedule, or online courses.
Types of Graduate Theology Schools
Theology graduate schools offer a broad range of programs, each with unique approaches to the subject, and specific goals with respect to that approach. For example, a theology graduate school might use the framework of their affiliated religious tradition, and that may have some differences compared to a school associated with a different faith. However, that's not the only potential difference.
While individual programs may vary, broadly
speaking, theology graduate programs fall in two categories.
- Applied Theology Graduate Schools develop high-level expertise regarding theology scholarship, texts, and concepts. However, they generally focus on helping students learn to use that expertise to help people in their careers. This could include religious education, ministry, or pastoral leadership. These may also be referred to as practice-based.
- Scholarship-Oriented Theology Graduate Schools focus on developing, writing, and understanding theology scholarship. In addition to developing fluency with theology research and influential voices in that space, students may also have the opportunity to hone their research and writing chops.
Degrees Offered at Graduate Theology Schools
Theology graduate schools may offer both practice-based and scholarly programs at several levels, including masters, post-masters, and doctorate. Shorter theology graduate certificate programs may also be available. Within each category, a range of degree types may be offered. The nature and availability of each degree or certificate type may vary by school.
Masters in Theology
Theology master's degree programs may issue one of several different degrees upon completion. This could depend on the nature of the school, the goals of the program, and the types of students the program is designed to serve. The prerequisites of each program will differ by school. This could vary significantly, from programs open to those with little experience and unrelated bachelor's degrees, to programs specifically for students with both religious education and professional experience (e.g. clergy).
- Master of Arts in Theology (or MA in Theological Studies): This degree type is somewhat variable. Depending on the school issuing it, it may either be applied or academic.
- Master of Divinity (M.Div.): These are usually professional degrees, meaning they're practice-oriented. As such, they may tend to be aimed toward students with experience in ministry or religious education.
- Master of Theological Studies (MTS): MTS programs are typically academic. They focus on building fluency with theology scholarship, and performing and writing research. They may also help to facilitate further study at the doctoral level.
- Master of Theology (Th.M.): This is sometimes considered a post-masters degree, and as such may require students to have prior master's-level education in or related to theology. These programs are typically academic, focusing on building the theology scholarship experience one might need to pursue a doctorate.
- Master of Sacred Theology (STM): STM degrees are typically awarded by Catholic graduate schools. Like Th.M. programs, they're often considered post-masters. They may help students to earn theology research experience, and help to facilitate doctoral study.
Doctorate in Theology
Theology doctoral programs include a few different degree types. In some ways, these may equate to the degrees offered at the masters level. However, there are a few unique differences. Also similar to the masters level, the prerequisites may vary, and the programs may either be professional or academic. Typically, however, you might expect prerequisites to attend a theology doctoral program to include elements like a theology masters program, research experience, professional experience, and adherence to a related faith tradition.
- PhD in Theology: Theology PhD programs may be the most variable between schools. Often, these are research-focused, and may look to support roles at the university level. That said, practice-based PhD programs may be offered at some graduate schools.
- Doctor of Pastoral Theology: These are typically professional doctorates. They're often designed to help students apply their knowledge of theology in pastoral, ministry, or theology education types of roles.
- Doctor of Sacred Theology: These degrees are usually only offered at Catholic graduate schools in the pontifical university system. They tend to focus on theology scholarship, and aim to support students as they prepare to lecture on theology at the university level.
- Doctor of Canon Law: This is also a degree unique to the Catholic pontifical university system. It could be described as the religious equivalent of the Juris Doctor (JD) and focuses on the nature and application of the ecclesiastical laws and regulations within the church. Despite its comparison to JD degrees, however, it does not qualify somebody to practice law.
Theology Graduate Certificates
Theology graduate certificate schools enable students to study a specific theology topic in detail at the masters or post-masters level. Because these are not degree programs, the curriculum tends to be short. In some cases, the credits earned might be transferrable toward a degree at a later time. Schools may offer graduate certificates in a range of topics, from the teachings of a certain philosopher, to theology research methodology, to strategies to teach theology in the classroom.

Mansilk - By Mary GreenFor the last two decades, designer Mary Green has been a hands-on, vital force in undergarment fashions. Already an innovator in finding washable silk that can be used in women's lingerie, she has expanded her brand to create Mansilk - a mens silk underwear line. Mansilk underwear is without a doubt one of the most popular lines of silk underwear out there. Men love it for its luxurious and extremely comfortable feel. It's no wonder- Mansilk's line of silk knit underwear that offers the fit of briefs, trunks, and boxer briefs with the feel of silk is a truly unique find that many men don't want to do without once they've experienced the soft comfort. But Mansilk takes if further with a wide variety of colors and patterns in its signature men's boxer silhouette.
Mansilk men's underwear now has national and international recognition as the go-to brand for silk boxers, silk pajamas, silk briefs, silk loungewear, and basically any undergarment a man would want made in silk. The Mansilk line includes silk briefs, boxers, boxer briefs and G-strings. Most products range from S-XL with special collections running in 1X-4X.
So, who is this men's silk underwear designer, Mary Green? She's an entrepreneur with an emphasis on ethics. Not only has Green created a successful and trendy lingerie and underwear firm, she also serves on the Board of Directors for several top charitable and business organizations. In 2008, she was awarded the Vision Award for World Leadership. Also to her credits are several CILA Awards.
You might think that silk is simply silk. Not with Mansilk. They have created woven silk garments and also sheer georgette and silk knits for everyday classic designs for men's underwear. The Mansilk satin boxers have become a holiday staple for many men under the Christmas tree, or as a romantic gift from their loved one on Valentine's Day.
In recent years, the Mansilk brand has dipped its toe into the skimpier men's underwear silhouettes. And with little surprise this sexy underwear has been quite successful. The Mansilk silk satin thong has been a winner. It's for that man who craves a super soft and sleek fabric. Also popular has been the Mansilk silk satin mini brief which is cut to be minimalist.
The Mansilk line includes: silk briefs, boxers, Mansilk boxer briefs, and mens G-strings. Most products range from S-XL with special collections running in 1X-4X.
Recognition has most definitely come to the Mansilk line of men's underwear. The Mansilk boxers were voted the number one boxer by Rolling Stone Magazine. This boxer has also been a two time winner of the Undie Award for favorite Woven Men's Boxer. The Mansilk satin front/silk back mini brief, style MS10, also received an Undie Award for Favorite Men's Brief in 2009. The Mansilk line was recently featured on 'Sex in the City' and on Jack Black in 'School of Rock.'
The Mansilk designs and wardrobe staples have found their way onto Hollywood all-stars. They are also frequently featured in top television shows and movies. Mansilk garments can also be found in top magazines such as InStyle, Glamour, W, Vanity Fair and Lucky.
Please note: Though the proper spelling is the singular word Mansilk, many also search on Man silk, man silks mens silk, and silk underwear.

The television sound was off, but I didn't need words to know this was sad news. Why else would there be grainy black-and-white images of Stan Musial unleashing that powerful swing out of an awkward stance?
Musial passed away last night, not long after former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver died, and the sports world was suddenly without two legends. Despite polar opposites in terms of temperament, both were unique and left an indelible mark on baseball.
Weaver was the fiery manager of the Orioles who built his championship teams with superb starting pitching and the three-run homer. Musial was overshadowed by Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron, but was as lethal with the bat as any of them. Others were more spectacular and played in flashier markets than St. Louis, but Musial personified baseball in his town and throughout middle America.
Having worked in Baltimore covering the Orioles, I learned quickly now woven Weaver was into the fabric of that town, and traveling numerous times to St. Louis, and saw that city embrace Musial to where two statues of him are outside Busch Stadium.
The beauty of baseball is how the sports rolls on with one generation of greatness following the other. However, there are those few who transcend their times and will be remembered through the ages.
There's sadness in the losses of Weaver and Musial in that they are gone, but also that many of us never got a chance to witness their greatness in person. And for that, we are all the poorer.

I deally I will place on a plastic hanging strip on top of each other. I've attached a photo of how I think I'd like them packaged, but I'm open to any other ideas.
The most important thing is that the buyer needs to know the shape of the liner once it is unpackaged. I've attached a some photos of how the product looks once installed and independently.
The label can be die-cut, so it shows the shape of the circle. I thought that might bring added attention to buyers, but it is not necessary.

More about this item:Provenance | Buying guide
How to buy bed linen
Confused by thread count? Don't know your percale from your Egyptian cotton? Our guide to buying bed linen will soon have you picking out the loveliest linens for your bedroom.
The thread count is used to describe the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the finer and smoother the fabric to touch. As a general rule, the higher the thread count, the more superior the quality of your bed linen. Standard cottons will be around 110 thread count, while higher quality starts at 200. Anything above 200 is considered a much more luxurious quality.
Which fabric should I choose?
Egyptian Cotton: This term relates to the fibre used to make the fabric. Egypt is renowned for growing cotton with particularly long fibres that allows them to be spun unto very fine, soft yet durable yarns, making Egyptian cotton into one of the finest.
Cotton Sateen: This relates to the weave used to turn the fibre (Egyptian Cotton) into fabric. Through an overlay of yarns on the surface, a sateen weave creates a fabric that has a lustrous, smooth surface that is irresistibly soft against your skin. This weave can also have a slight sheen.
Cotton Percale: This term also refers to the weave of the cotton fibres. Percale weave has a more matte look as it is a flat weave. When made in a good quality thread count (300 and above, for example) it has the unusual quality of improving with age. Percale is a high quality combed cotton. Combing removes any rougher poor quality fibres and gives bed linen a lovely smooth finish.
Our pillowcases come in the classic Housewife style, which has no border and fits exactly to the edge of the pillow. Our bespoke pillow cases are available in an Oxford style which has an additional border around the edge and mitred corners for a stylish look.
Duvet covers have a traditional French 'tail' or 'bottleneck' end fold rather than button closure, which gets tucked in at the bottom for ease of bed making and so that you don't lose your covers at night.
Fitted sheets have elasticised corners to keep your sheet secure through the night. Josephine Home fitted sheets all have a depth of 30cm. If your mattress is deeper, choose a flat sheet and fold in the corners to secure it in place. A flat sheet is also used as a top sheet and is essential if making your bed with blankets. Make sure your flat sheet has the right side facing down so that when you turn it back at the top of the bed, the right side is facing up.
We believe at Josephine Home that the journey of the product, what inspired it and how it is made, are equally important. Starting small with a made-to-measure service, our aim has always been to produce the very best quality in the world for each of our products, in each of their categories. Through this personal and focused approach, we had the opportunity to work closely, on a small scale, with the very best craftsmen in England and Continental Europe.
On the strength of our bespoke work, we realised that if we could do this service well, we could do anything. The experience we have gathered over these early years has meant that we now know the hallmarks of a great product. We believe that bespoke can never be a "quick fix" but instead it should be, and is, a journey.
For Josephine Home, provenance is about the combination of love, care and level of expertise that goes into creating each and every one of our products. All of our craftsmen have many years and often centuries of accumulated expertise at our (and your) service and what sets them apart is the unique combination of skill, passion and pride. We work closely with every workshop to develop products exclusive to Josephine Home.

How should I care for my bed linen?
For generations, laundering, whitening and darning bed linen were vital rituals in the cycle of life associated with fine linen. Today, a few simple rules will ensure you get the best out of your bed linen.
Firstly, wash at the lowest temperature (40-60 degrees) without filling the drum too tightly as water must be able to circulate to ensure a thorough wash. Soft water also makes a huge difference to the feel of your linen, so it is really worth investing in a water softener if you live in a hard water area.
Secondly, always iron sheets while they are still slightly damp for an easy glide and a perfect finish. Finally, store well away from any dust – ideally in a separate linen cupboard, or drawer, perhaps adding an evocative scent to infuse the linen. The result will be long lasting, crisply ironed, freshly scented linen, which will make it a treat to get into bed every night. Given that we spend up to a third of our lives in bed, it just has to be worth it.
How do I care for my towels?
Your Josephine Home towels should ideally be washed on cold before the first use to soften the fibres. Once in use, they should be washed with whites only at 40 degrees to keep them white and fresh for as long as possible. They will however easily withstand a 60 degrees wash which is essential when a deep clean is required.
Tumble dry is essential for a lovely fluffy finish. However, if you are lucky enough to be able to air dry them outside on a line, this will give them the irreplaceable smell of fresh air with the slightly rougher finish of old fashioned towels.
Never use fabric conditioner on towels, bath mats or bathrobes as it will coat the fibres and make them less absorbent.

The Volvo S70 dates back to 1998-2000, when the car was available on the market. Only three model years were available for the S70 and continuous improvements were made to the body, interior, and performance throughout its run. The S70 may be most well-known for its new sleek body design with obvious modern updates to front hood and nose of the car, but it is hard to surpass the Volvo image and reputation for safety.
Thought to be the replacement for the 850 sedan, the Volvo S70 was built on the same platform, but boasted numerous revisions in terms of body style and performance. At first glance, the most noteworthy updates can be seen on the front end which includes a reshaped rounded nose and hood along with new headlamp options.
With four trim packages to choose from, drivers could pick and choose improvement features ranging from safety to performance to interior perks. Powerful engines were found in the well-equipped T5 along with plenty of standard equipment ranging from power windows to a trip computer.
Regardless of the car model, Volvo is continuously known by consumers as a safe and reliable vehicle. Staying current with safety features, from side airbags to anti-lock brakes, only builds on the already established reputation of the S70 and other models under the Volvo name. Still others know the S70 for its comfort and spacious interior with updated design improvements throughout.
When the 2000 Volvo S70 was released, consumers could choose from one of five different trim packages, starting with the base and rounding out with the high-performance T5. Its last year in production brought about several changes in the engine offerings along with the available automatic or manual transmissions, depending on the trim package you select.
The base S70 included all-wheel drive, side curtain airbags and a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine with automatic transmission. The next level was called SE and also featured a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine. Both versions were capable of 162 horsepower. The GLT and GLT SE also boasted a 2.4-liter engine and the top of the line T5 included the powerful 2.3-liter five-cylinder. Standard on all 2000 Volvo S70 models included the WHIPS seat technology designed to minimize whiplash in the event of a rear collision. This feature allowed the seat to follow the passenger's body backward motion up to 15 degrees to avoid a sudden snap forward.
Beginning in early 1998, the Volvo S70 was available in four trim packages: the base, GL, GLT, and T5. All featured several upgrades from the 850 sedan including, but not limited to, powerful engines, new body colors, and updated suspension. The base S70 ran on a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine with manual transmission that climbed to a modest 168 horsepower. The GL trim packages offered up more speed and performance, reaching 190 horsepower. Those still searching for more out of the Volvo S70 could opt for the T5 with a powerful 2.3-liter, turbocharged engine in either a four-speed automatic transmission or five-speed manual. In terms of safety, the S70 provided several noteworthy descriptions on its overview. Anti-lock, four-wheel disc brakes were available on all models for this year in addition to side airbags.
Although the S70 only spent two years on the open market, changes were implemented from 1998-1999 models. Once the 1999 S70 reached consumers, the GL trim package was dropped and additional enhancements had been added for safety throughout the vehicle. Consumers could choose from the base four-door sedan, base four-door, all-wheel drive sedan, GLT, and T5. This year also offered three different engines, including the 2.4-liter 162 horsepower, 2.3-liter 236 horsepower, and 2.4-liter 190 horsepower. True to Volvo standards, the NHTSA Crash-Test ratings and IIHS Crash-Test ratings were mainly good on the 1999 model.
Standard equipment options included power windows, remote keyless entry, and cassette players on the base model. Upgrades, such as CD player, memory seat, power moonroof and garage door transmitter, were optional. The GLT included those standard features along with memory seating and automatic temperature control. The top of the line T5 included a CD player and trip computer standard in addition to the several features mentioned earlier.
In 2000, the S70 saw improvements from the transmission to the engine. Five available trim packages offered a variety of performance features to choose from along with all the standard safety and interior amenities expected from the S70.

In Focus: When Time Stood Still
Jones, Davis Fondly Remember Famous Play 40 Years Later
Within the walls of Tiger Stadium lies a field with a rich history of legendary moments. Forty years ago on this patch of grass a group of Tigers fought until the very last second against one or their biggest rivals. On this night, a moment was born that will be instilled in the minds of a group of Tiger gridiron legends forever.
On November 4, 1972, a record 70,502 fans packed Tiger Stadium to witness the Tigers take on the Rebels of Ole Miss. The Fighting Tigers were undefeated at 6-0, and looking to bounce back from a loss to the Rebels in the previous season.
"The two teams didn't like each other very much and the fans hated each other," said 1972 LSU tailback Brad Davis. "It was a great setting for a rivalry game."
The Tigers and Rebels battled neck-and-neck in front of an electric crowd the entire night.
|LSU At the Game programs are available on campus three hours prior to game time and online while supplies last.
"The atmosphere was electric beyond the normal high voltage of Tiger Stadium," 1972 LSU quarterback Bert Jones said. "The constant roar made communication almost impossible on the field."
In the fourth quarter, the immense Tiger Stadium crowd was temporarily silenced as Ole Miss nailed a 40-yard field goal to take a 16-10 lead. In the following possessions, LSU struggled to put points on the scoreboard. However, the Tigers were granted one last opportunity on their own 20-yard line with 3:02 left to play.
"Bert was very cool and was smiling the whole time," Davis said. "He knew we would score. He made us very confident."
"There are very few opportunities in life or sports that allow you to experience a situation like this," Jones said. "As a kid everyone dreams of being down three in the World Series with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth."
Jones lined up under center 80 yards away from conquering his aspiration. The Ruston Rifle would not disappoint.
Jones led the Tigers to the Ole Miss 10-yard line on a drive that included two fourth-down conversions. With four seconds remaining, the Tigers appeared to be down to their final chance to win.
Jones dropped back 10 yards away from the endzone and threw a pass intended for Jimmy LeDoux that fell incomplete. It appeared that the Tigers had suffered their first loss of the 1972 season.
"I really thought that there was pass interference against Jimmy LeDoux in the end zone," Jones said. "I did not realize there was a second left until I looked at the clock after arguing with the referee for a pass interference call."
With one second miraculously remaining in the game, LSU was granted one final opportunity. The Rebels used their final timeout of the game. The Tigers gathered around LSU Head Coach Charles McClendon, hoping to scheme a way to get the ball across the goal line.
"During the week we practiced a play to use if we needed a two-point conversion," Jones said. "That is what we called."
"This is it, son," Coach McClendon said to Jones before he took the field.
"Coach Mac said I winked at him on the sidelines," Jones said. "I really think it was probably a nervous twitch."
The Tigers took the field with three receivers lined up on the left-hand side, including Davis in the slot. As Jones received the snap, Davis ran an out route toward the left pylon.
"I was wide open after my second step and looked back wondering why Bert was waiting to throw the ball," Davis said. "The Ole Miss linebacker that was supposed to cover me had lost me."
As time expired, Jones spotted Davis near the pylon and threw the ball in his direction.
"I lost the ball in the lower lights for a split second and just threw my hands up," Davis said.
Davis bobbled the football, but maintained his concentration and made the catch. He then dived into the end zone, tying the game at 16-16. Rusty Jackson tacked on the game-winning extra point, propelling LSU to 7-0 on the season.
"It was an elated feeling," Jones said. "It was my dream of hitting a home run in the World Series, or better yet, an LSU victory over Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium."
The 1972 LSU Football team will never forget the magical events of that November night in Death Valley. More importantly, they will always remember the people they shared it with 40 years ago.
"I was very fortunate to be able to play football for LSU and make friendships that still exist to this day," Davis said.

January 17, 2003January 17, 2003 — Dr. Richard Roll, Japan Alumni Chair in International Finance and professor of finance at The Anderson School at UCLA, is the winner of the highly regarded Nicholas Molodovsky Award for his significant influence on financial theory and practice.
The award is given annually by the Association for Investment Management Research (AIMR), to a researcher who has had significant influence on financial thought and practice.

It is chartered by financial analysts to advance the interests of the global investment community, by establishing and maintaining the highest standards of professional excellence and integrity.
"The field of financial economics continues to evolve as a scientific discipline," said Professor Roll. "It is now highly quantitative and recent trends include more emphasis on psychology as a tool, more study of the fine structure of markets and more attention to international aspects."
A leader in his field of study, Professor Roll has made a significant impact on investment theory and on the practice of portfolio management. He is best known for research about modern portfolio theory, particularly his critique of the capital asset pricing model, and his collaboration on an alternative model, the arbitrage pricing theory.

Professor Roll is a principal of several portfolio management firms that employ modern financial theory as a guide to investment management. Receiving frequent requests to lecture to financial industry groups, Roll has also been a consultant for many corporations, law firms and government agencies. He served as a vice president of Goldman Sachs, where he founded and directed the mortgage securities research group. A past president and fellow of the American Finance Association, he is also a fellow of the Econometric Society and the Financial Management Association.
Roll has published two books and more than 70 articles in technical journals. His most recent paper he co-authored is titled "The End of Class Warfare: An Examination of Income Disparity." Another interesting article he co-authored is titled "Why Many Developing Countries Just Aren't."
His 1968 doctoral thesis won the Irving Fisher Prize as the best American dissertation in economics. Roll is also the recipient of the Graham and Dodd Award for financial writing (twice) and the Leo Melamed Award for the best financial research by an American business school professor. He is past president of the American Finance Association and is a fellow of the Econometric Society. Professor Roll is currently or has been an associate editor of 11 different journals in finance and economics.
Professor Roll received a Ph.D. (economics, finance, statistics) in 1969 from The University of Chicago, an M.B.A. (business) in 1963 from the University of Washington and a B.A.E. (aeronautical engineering) in 1961 from Auburn University.

Paradise with Serpents: Travels in the Lost World of Paraguay
Harper Perennial, 2007 - History - 376 pages
In 1537 a group of Europeans founded Asuncion on the banks of the Paraná River in modern day Paraguay where they were enthusiastically welcomed by the Gurani people. An extraordinary fusion of New World and Old was created, a place where magnificent baroque cathedrals were built of carved stone in the heart of the jungle, and solemn Catholic masses were performed on European instruments by Gurani Indians and their Jesuit mentors. Today Paraguay is the only South American country which is truly bilingual: Spanish and Gurani are both spoken and every citizen is proud of his or her dual heritage. Long fascinated by Paraguay due to childhood stories of his great-uncle Charlie—who vanished into the Amazonian jungle of old north Paraguay in search of Inca silver Carver—Robert Carver travels into this forbidden lost world in search of his own golden city of outlandish experience in this enrapturing travelogue. The physically reckless journey takes him from mule trains high in frozen mountains to steamers up remote rivers in dense tropical jungles. Fascinating and original, this is first-hand look at one of South America's most unique and engrossing nations.

Fantastic news! Melissa McCarthy will host SNL for her second time on April 6. She'll obviously be extremely hilarious and wonderful, and hopefully maybe even play a character who doesn't bathe in ranch dressing or try to eat her co-worker, or whatever. It'd be cool if they did some SNL-style goofy-yet-biting social commentary about how her weight is always a thing? Or, if not, they could at just make the entire show one shot of her playing a character named "Fat Tanya" who just eats, grunts, and humps the legs of uninterested men? Oh, and midway through takes a bath in ranch sauce, using carrot sticks to clean her ears. I'm getting a little too invested in this character.
No matter what happens, it's sure to be a delight, just like McCarthy. Mark your calendars!

The Midnight Express 39 has remained the leader among high performance off shore center consoles due to continual evolution and optimization. Engineers and designers at Midnight Express have been tirelessly incorporating cutting-edge technology, the most advanced materials, and the most innovative solutions to make the newest iteration of the 39S, far above and beyond anything in its class.
Developing a dive door in a high performance ocean-going boat is a challenge that our engineers have the experience to manage. The result is a unique structural design of the hull, deck, and door. The hull and deck opening are molded into both structures so that they form an integrated unit, instead of cut in after hull and deck construction like many other manufacturers do. Additionally, strategically placed reinforcements are placed in and around the opening to create stiffness equal to a boat without a dive door. The resulting structure on the 39S is so stiff and strong that in out testing the boat could be run at speed with the door open without significant hull flex, yet when the door is closed, it locks into place, and stiffens the opening further.
Ease-Of-Access has long been a hallmark of Midnight Express boats. As part of this mission, the forward door to the head is expansive and opens outward without impeding the captain's view. The large size of this fiberglass door made it heavy. Now, in the 39S, the still expansive forward head door is constructed from carbon-fiber instead of fiberglass, reducing the weight of the door. This light door allows for easy opening and closing of the door, as well as less stress on the hinges, and eliminating the sagging that might be caused from a heavier door.
The need to create an exhilarating and fun experience along with a feeling of comfort and confidence for your family and guests make performance mission critical to you. The Midnight Express 37 Cabin can be powered by either triple or quad outboard engines to suit your performance desires. Combine this with a unique configuration that balances space utilization to give you a comfortable, stylish overnight cabin, large head with the open above deck areas for lounging and enjoying the water.

Care in Ghana by Victoria Murray
I had always dreamt of taking a gap year in Africa so the 6 months I spent in Ghana are definitely my best yet! When I arrived in Ghana I was welcomed by a very cheerful Nyame! After spending the night in Accra at the office, Henry came to take me to the Akuapem Hills at 5am. I found my first day very overwhelming: lots of emotions, hectic Accra, the heat, bumpy tro rides and the completely different culture. But once I arrived in the Hills my supervisor Emmanuel welcomed me with open arms and took me to my host family.
I lived with Diana in a small town called Akropong. I felt very much at home here and enjoyed spending time with her daughter Hannah who kindly taught me how to wash my clothes by hand! I surprisingly didn't mind the bucket showers which were actually quite refreshing, brushing my teeth in the back garden and sharing my bedroom with geckos! Every day on my way to work I would hear Ghanaians calling me "Obruni" (meaning white person in Twi) . . . and this never got old with the children!
The 6 months I spent in Ghana I split my time between Adom Day care and Trinity Orphanage. Working at Adom was a lot of fun. Every morning I would collect children on the way to "school" and be greeted by very excited children when I walked through the gates! Here I became Aunty Victoria! It did not take long to settle into the routine of changing their clothes, organising their lunches and bags first thing every morning and dancing to Bumbaleega! Assembly is filled with songs, prayers and marching which is very enjoyable to watch :)
Throughout the day I would help Diana teach her class the alphabet and how to write small words. I found this very rewarding because as soon as Kelsey (fellow volunteer) and I used encouragement and stickers as a reward, all the children worked so much harder. At break times we could play with the children, help feed the younger ones and comfort those who were upset. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Adom Day care and working there has made me realise that I definitely want to be a Primary Teacher.
Working at Trinity Orphanage was a very different experience because it was a lot poorer than anywhere else I had been in Ghana. This made it harder emotionally but even more rewarding when I could bring a smile to their faces. As the children were in class during the day, I would help wash the dishes and clothes. A few of us repainted the bedrooms and repaired mosquito nets. One day we took all the children to the Botanical Gardens nearby. It was a great day as they all really enjoyed it and I won't forget having about 10 children in each taxi! It was very sad leaving both placements as I grew quite attached to some of the children.
Whilst I was in Ghana I turned 19 the same time as two other girls so we had a tribal themed party! This was one of the best birthdays I've had, as all the volunteers came and some of the local Ghanaians.
I spent most of my weekends travelling with other volunteers. In Cape Coast I visited the castles and learnt about the slave trade which was quite shocking. This was a great way to learn more about Ghana and its history. In the north I was lucky enough to see elephants up close in the wild and learn to ride a motorbike! I also travelled to Togo and Benin (neighbouring countries of Ghana) which gave me an insight into voodoo . . . creepy!
Looking back, I can't believe how much I did in 6 months. So here's some advice when you go to Ghana: do everything you can think off! Bring fun and games for the children, learn the local language, try the Ghanaian food, go to church and travel if you can. Make the most of your time in this strange but wonderful country and you will have the time of your life. I would not have changed this once in a lifetime experience for the world because before long, Ghana became my home and Ghanaians became my family.

"Why aren't all disk brake rotors made with rounded edges...?" ~ Kevlar
From - http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/compton-injured-by-disc-brake-rotor-in-lille/#disqus_thread
Very good point and it would be very easy for anyone to take the edge(s) off with a file providing of course that the rotors are just...round.
Did manufacturers drop this idea or are their rounded edges to subtle to make a difference as far as safety goes?
Forgive me if this has been disc-ussed already, a search showed nadda.

(Reuters) - Tampa Bay Lightning's Martin St. Louis captured his second scoring crown while Washington forward Alex Ovechkin and Chicago goaltenders Corey Crawford and Ray Emery also earned season-ending awards, the NHL announced on Sunday.
The NHL's lockout-shortened regular season drew to a close with the Senators beating the Bruins 4-2 in a game postponed in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, finalizing the league's individual races.
Ovechkin claimed his third Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy as the league's goal-scoring leader with 32, while Crawford and Emery combined to win their first William M. Jennings Trophy for allowing the fewest goals during the 2012-13 regular season.
St. Louis ended up with 60 points to claim the Art Ross Trophy as the overall scoring champion, edging out Lightning team mate Steven Stamkos by three points, with Ovechkin and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby just behind on 56.
The 37-year-old St. Louis won his first Art Ross Trophy for amassing 94 points in the 2003-04 season.
At the other end of the ice, Crawford and Emery allowed a combined league-low 102 goals, two fewer than the Ottawa Senators.
