Vesalius Anatomical Illustrations
(Northwestern University)
Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was an anatomist, physician, and the author of a pioneering treatise on human anatomy, De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body). First published in 1543, and substantially revised in 1555, the Fabrica is a superbly illustrated atlas of the human body, informed by Vesalius' experience with autopsies and dissection. This approach marked a shift in medical education away from a reliance on Ancient authorities like Galen, towards the direct observation of the human body. While the artist who produced the Fabrica's woodcuts is unknown, they are masterpieces of Renaissance printmaking. Further, these illustrations became the basis of medical art and illustration for generations to come, and transformed attitudes and perceptions of the human body throughout the Western world. As such, they were, arguably, more influential than the anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci, which remained unpublished for centuries, while the Fabrica was widely distributed throughout Europe.
Two scholars at Northwestern University Daniel Garrison, Professor Emeritus of Classics and Malcolm Hast, Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology worked on the first English translation of the Fabrica. With assistance from Northwestern University library and academic technology staff, the first book of their annotated translation was published online in 2003: http://vesalius.northwestern.edu. On November 4, 2013, the Galter Health Sciences Library sponsored a celebratory reception featuring the release of the two-volume print set of the completed translation, a project that was 20 years in duration. As part of the project, digital scans of the diagrams and anatomical illustrations were produced from a facsimile of the 1543 edition. [Sadly, the original wood blocks were destroyed during the Allied bombing of Munich in 1943.] Over 200 images, depicting individual bones and organs, entire systems, and the famous "muscle men" posing dramatically against Renaissance landscapes, are now available in ARTstor. These images are accompanied by scholarly information, including modern anatomical names for all parts mentioned in the original Latin text, also contributed by Garrison and Hast.

These two ladies sure know how to tempt a guy! The female components of the Chris Brown love triangle have no problem sexing it up for Instagram. But there can only be one belle of the social network ball. Who do you think is hotter?
We don't know whether to congratulate Chris Brown or feel pity for him. Sure, it must feel great to have Rihanna and Karrueche Tran showing off on Instagram for him, but at the same time it can't be easy seeing your ex-girlfriend try to outdo your current fling via social networking. Either way, Rihanna and KT have definitely gone head-to-head on Instagram. So who comes out on top?
Rihanna Vs. Karrueche Tran: Who Has The Hotter Pics?
Rihanna is the OG of sexy Instagramming, but it's actually shocking how closely Karrueche has followed in her footsteps.
RiRi revolutionized the game by posting sexy pictures of herself in skimpy outfits, like a halter top baring the maximum amount of cleavage. KT has matched her, throwing up pics of herself wearing tight dresses too.
And they've both tried their hand at stunning closeups — their hair waving gracefully in front of their eyes. And oh yeah, Rihanna and Karrueche both haven't shied away from showing off their derrieres on Instagram. Chris must go out of his mind trying to decide whose behind he likes best — we know we can't choose!
Rihanna Vs. Karrueche Tran: Which Girl Has More Fun?
Rihanna and Karrueche have also used their Instagrams to show the world how awesome and fun their lives are. RiRi posting pictures of herself smoking have pretty much become typical by now, but two can play that game. More than once, Karrueche has also uploaded shots of herself enjoying a little puff-puff.
And both girls get down on the drinks from time to time — Rihanna seems to be more of a wino, while KT is all about a classy glass of cognac. Rihanna used to be blonde — was she trying to say that she has more fun?
It's a little scary how similar RiRi and Kae can sometimes appear, but it does make it convenient and easy for us to compare them. So what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Which girl has the sexier Instagram?

Is this a joke? Really HL? You are so mean to Kareoke! I would not even call her Sexy. Her body is NOT proportional. Big Head, chipmunky face, looks like she is smuggling somethinh in her cheeks, food for later – maybe? Tiny and short malnourished body…etc. She calls her self a model, where in the hell does she model? Why don't we ever see her on the catwalk? Why didn't she make the sexiest list? Ya'll HL are mean people, give the girl a break!

It's obvious that she admires Riri but scary at the same time. How can CB fall for someone that imitates the love of his life. Close to single white female. It's going to be expensive for CB to fund Kae to try and keep up with RIRI. "Why window shop when you own this" Kae is reaching. Whenever RIRI wants CB she can have him and Kae is dumped. Happens more often than not. Kae is the rebound chic and she knows it.

Jones caught a middle screen as a member of the Buffalo Bills last September and was immediately drilled to the Ralph Wilson Stadium turf by
"I definitely have to say something to him about that," Jones said outside the Patriots locker room Friday morning. "It was a real hit. It's football. I got up right away. I'm sure he's going to have jokes but it will be all right."
Jones was set to become a restricted free agent this spring but the Bills chose not to offer him a tender, thus making him an unrestricted free agent. That decision seemed to be a curious one after the wideout caught 41 passes for 443 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games last season, and it was to Jones as well.
"That came as a shock to me. Me and my family," he said. "But that decision was made upstairs over there and I'm happy to be here now."
Jones has hurt the Patriots at times in the past. Last season he had two solid games against New England, catching a pair of passes for 90 yards including a 68-yard touchdown in the first meeting and adding six receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown in the rematch in Foxborough. Also, in 2011 he grabbed five balls for 101 yards in the Bills 34-31 upset victory in Orchard Park, N.Y., numbers that included a 48-yard bomb down the sideline that set up the game-winning field goal as time expired.
For his career Jones has 88 receptions for 887 yards and six touchdowns in 35 career games, so clearly much of his damage has come against New England. Perhaps that success led to Bill Belichick's interest in the former undrafted free agent out of Youngstown State.
"Maybe, I really don't know. It might have opened some eyes," Jones said. "I'm glad I had the opportunity to have those games."
Also noteworthy in Jones' performances against the Patriots has been the varied manner of his big plays. The 68-yard touchdown came on a crossing route in front of safeties Patrick Chung and
Jones believes it's that kind of versatility that likely led him to Foxborough.
"I can play any receiver position. I lined up in the backfield," Jones said. "Whatever they ask me to do. I'm guessing that's what they liked about me. That's what I bring to an offense. I haven't done one thing the most. I've been inside and I've been outside and that's what the coaches like about me. I can learn the playbook very fast.
"I would like to be somebody that can do everything – down the field, over the middle, catching slants – I can do it all. There's not something I can feel more comfortable with."

Test Kitchen: Pucker up for lemon chicken
Jessica Rodrigo
Jan. 8, 2014 at midnight
Updated Jan. 7, 2014 at 7:08 p.m.
• 2 chicken breasts
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cooking oil, for frying
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2-3/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp. cornstarch
• A few drops of yellow food coloring (optional)
Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound thin using a meat tenderizer, a bottle of wine or a cup with a wide bottom. Once pounded out, season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine cornstarch and panko crumbs. Coat chicken evenly with crumbs and set aside. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat. Cook on each side about three to four minutes until lightly browned. Cut into strips or leave whole. Serve covered in lemon sauce or serve with sauce on the side.
For the sauce, combine lemon juice, water and sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. In a small ramekin, mix the cornstarch with a little bit of water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the mixture and keep over lower heat. Food color can be added before serving. Adjust to taste and serve hot.
Can't make it? Go get it
Beijing Garden
• ADDRESS: 113 S. Main St., Victoria
• WHEN: 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-9 p.m. Monday-Friday
Every one has a go-to at Chinese restaurants.
Mine is the lemon chicken, unless I am hankering for some noodles - then, I go with lo mein. Luke, a creature of habit, usually shoots for the General Tso's. And, of course, we do a few crab rangoons or egg rolls, too. A recipe for the crab rangoons is on my to-do list, so stay tuned.
I have a ton of lemons from Luke's mom's tree to burn through before they go bad, so I thought I would make cook my own version of lemon chicken.
But I have to say that I love the lemon chicken version served up at either Beijing Garden or Dragon Palace.
Instead of serving it as chunks of chicken battered and deep fried, they do a flattened piece of chicken, breaded and lightly fried then served with a sauce that is sweet and sour.
The best part is that they are cooked separately, which leaves the chicken crunchy, adding more texture to the dish.
In my trial runs, some of the batches I cooked up tasted just like lemonade, so be sure to adjust the flavor to what you like. Add some red chili flakes if you want it spicy and see where it goes from there.
What are you doing with all your lemons? Send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet @EatsEatsEats. I'm always hungry.

POSTED: Monday, August 20, 2012 - 4:30pm
UPDATED: Monday, August 20, 2012 - 4:34pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — 258,000 GM SUV's are being recalled in the U.S. and Canada.
Many makes and models are included in the recall, but the 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer was the biggest seller out of all the vehicles involved.
Here's the problem: the power windows and the door lock switches in the SUV's could short circuit and start a fire.
Dealers will fix the problem for free; owners will get letters telling them when to schedule an appointment.
Other vehicles included in the recall: GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender, and SAAB 97-S (all makes/models are years 2006 and 2007).

Today he's dressed in white linen. A rakish Panama hat is cocked on a full head of hair dyed a potent black, like a Colt .38. He's not the high roller he used to be, but as Bev happily relates, he still loves the ladies -- as long as they're younger than he is.
Over the course of his life, Johnny amassed and squandered a small fortune, a couple of million dollars, he estimates, much of it ill-gotten gains from the shady side of thoroughbred horseracing. For more than 35 years, he worked the tracks from Canada to Miami as a corrupt jockey and horse owner, mostly for the mob, or more accurately, the syndicate (multiethnic crime combinations).
"I was an international race fixer," Bev boasts proudly.
During his years in the high life, Bev drank Tom Collinses with Frank Sinatra; took Alan Ladd's costar in The Blue Dahlia, Veronica Lake, dancing at the Fontainebleau; ensured winners for famed wiseguy financier Meyer Lansky; and owned stakes in Miami eateries, an Italian restaurant in Hialeah and a steak house on Collins Avenue. He also claims to have shared an opal mine in Mexico with a Mexican Army general: "I was the only jockey in the world with a mink saddle, diamond-studded whip, and gold stirrups," he boasts.
Bev's heyday came in the late Forties and Fifties, when he estimates that about 75 percent of horseracing was fixed. Lots of people were getting a piece of the action, including Johnny: "Everybody is crooked," he philosophizes, in a nasal voice. "You give them $5000, they are going to kiss you."
He rigged the results of hundreds of races, or so he claims. (Checking verifies some of Johnny's story, but he operated in the predigital age, and in a field where vagueness was considered simple good manners, records are spotty.) He never spent more than a night or two in jail, but today his passion for the Sport of Kings is largely off-limits; he's persona non grata at local tracks like Calder Race Course on the Miami-Dade-Broward line, and Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, and he is totally banned in Canada.
Still, Johnny claims no regrets. No guilty conscience. No sins to atone for. "All that money we made went up in smoke, but we had a good time," he says. "Wine, women, and song -- show me a better game, and I'll follow you."
Some of the hard living and good times remain etched on his face in heavy furrows across his brow and deep crow's feet branching from his eyes. His hands are dark with liver spots. Bev's features seem slightly off-kilter on his slight five-foot-three frame: large ears, a beak nose, and, oddly for a small man, gangly arms and legs.
His home is a basic first-floor studio in North Beach. The shades are seldom cracked, and the old furniture looks beaten, victim of a thousand rough nights. His most cherished possessions are his fantastic and wonderful tales of a time of plenty and glamour, the youthful highlife of the Forties and Fifties, when Miami Beach's "beach-boy culture" -- Murph the Surf and Alan Dale Kuhn, the "movie star" jewel thieves and their molls -- held sway in places like Happy's Stork Bar on the 79th Street Causeway.
It's still morning, but he hopefully offers a drink. Then he makes his pitch. He's got an agent. If he can interest someone in his life story -- maybe a book and movie deal would follow. He's already done the figures, lovingly counting the millions that await him. In the movie, he'd prefer to be played by Al Pacino.
"There has never been a jockey who admitted he was a thief," he says. "A good title [for the book] would be I Confess, I Was a Crooked Jockey."
Johnny Bev came into the world as Angelo Bevelacqua, born in Attleboro, Massachusetts, on December 20, 1926, the child of Sicilian immigrants who owned a clothing and jewelry store. He discovered his calling when the family doctor hired him as a stable boy. He started racing at county fairs in Massachusetts around 1942.
That same year he Americanized his name to John Bev so it would fit on racing forms and took to peddling himself as a jockey from California. He needed to win 44 races in order to qualify as a full jockey, and so he moved to Providence, Rhode Island, to ride at Pascoag Race Track. The Patriarca family, the Mafia lords of New England who operated out of Federal Hill in Providence, did business at the track. They approached Bev to fix races, but he refused for fear he'd lose his apprenticeship. Instead the gangsters bought off the other jockeys, who would "pull" their mounts (rein them in) and let Johnny win.
It wasn't long after his 44th race that he started taking dives himself.

4 Their finest hourgambler | 20/10/2010 | See all gambler's reviews (2)This documentary offers an insightful and interesting look into the making of one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. You really get a feel for the period and the mood of the band at the time with plenty of quality archive footage and in-depth interviews with the band and those that were close to them at the time. If youre looking for live concert footage then youre going to be disappointed. This is a film documenting the making of the album - not a concert film. If you want a concert film I highly recommend you purchase Ladies and Gentlemen The Rolling Stones. But if you want to know just why this album is so revered then look no further - it could possibly be the best five pound you spend this year.

Facebook Rusty Shackelford and Patrick J. Kelly II Republican candidate for Congress in Kentucky's 6th Congressional District are the same people.
Rusty Shackelford AKA Patrick J. Kelly II had some advice for Elise DeVinney on Facebook: "It's ok, Elise. I understand. You just haven't had a good man and a firm hand to straighten things out for you yet." Yes Rusty Shackelford AKA Patrick J. Kelly II may have been kidding when he posted: "It's ok, Elise. I understand. You just haven't had a good man and a firm hand to straighten things out for you yet." However it's difficult to tell if Rusty Shackelford AKA Patrick J. Kelly II is kidding or he is serious when you take a close look at his Facebook sites.

None So Blind
By Lawrence A. Hunter, Ph.D.
June 18, 2012
A few weeks ago, I
the Grand Old Party (GOP) should change its name to the Fixing the Unfixable Party (FUP). Last week, I
most Republicans as Socialist Fellow Travelers. This week comes a plethora of evidence I was right in both instances.
First came
out of America's heartland where Republicans swept to large legislative and gubernatorial victories in 2010 that the effort to reduce the size of government and cut tax rates has stalled due to deep divisions within the party —"a war" according to the Kansas Republican Senate President—between those who want to use government to "advance conservative goals and those who want it to stop meddling."
How do you know you are talking to a Republican Fellow Traveler? When he is
the words "using government to advance business" and "not jeopardizing services that people have come to expect," standard fare among the Republicans.
As conservative Minnesota Senator Sean Nienow
put it
, "We ended the [legislative] session this year with two products not that different than what Democrats would have come up with if they were in charge."
In Washington, Congress is currently in the process of producing another pork-laden, fixer-upper "reform" of the farm program that is distinguished, as usual, by its bipartisan rent seeking for the farm faction at everyone else's expense. In this case, Congress is looking to replace "liberal" direct subsidy payments to farmers with a "conservative" expansion of federal crop insurance programs—six of one, half a dozen of the other. Meanwhile last week, Fla. Senator Marco Rubio, frequently mentioned as a possible Mitt Romney running mate, led 30 Republicans
in favor of an extension of price supports and quotas for sugar producers.
On the "advancing-business" front, a majority of Republican Senators also voted last month to
the notorious Export-Import Bank, which ladles on billions of dollars of corporate welfare with federal loan guarantees and subsidized insurance to businesses.
Now comes more evidence of Republican perfidy on healthcare. No matter how the Supreme Court rules on ObamaCare, the Wall Street Journal
, congressional Republicans have no intention of using the opportunity to deregulate medicine and restore freedom of choice and market forces to healthcare. Instead, they intend to fix the unfixable Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) by adopting a "take-the-good-stuff" approach. Can you say RhinoCare? Can you say a Trojan Elephant for socialized medicine using Medicare with another label as a template for an expanded insurance-based, single payer of last resort just as I
almost three years ago?
The fellow traveling Heritage Foundation, the originator of Obama's individual health-insurance mandate, also is pushing for the fixer-upper approach on health-care reform: Heritage's Ed Haislmaier is
by Politico as worrying, "Of particular concern to me [is] that folks on the right not throw out the baby with the bath water."
Meanwhile, back in the states—the same states where the battle within the Republican Party is being lost—it is clear the locals are well ahead of their national counterparts in Congress in adopting the fellow-traveling, fixer-upper approach on ObamaCare. Nationally, all eyes have been focused on the slow-grinding implementation of ObamaCare while the Supreme Courts deliberates on the constitutionality of the Act. Beneath the radar, however, red-state legislators and bureaucrats have been busy about the business of quietly working to comply with the law and positioning themselves so that whether PPACA is overturned or upheld in the Supreme Court, ObamaCare can be "repurposed" to create state-based reforms such as state-run health insurance exchanges modeled after the exchanges in PPACA.
These insurance exchanges are
as "marketplaces where people not covered through their employers can shop for health insurance at competitive rates, with subsidies for lower- and middle-income individuals and families." Whether state or national, insurance exchanges are in reality bureaucratic "delivery mechanisms," which when combined with the two main characteristics of exchanges—guaranteed issue and community rating—almost certainly will lead to a public takeover of the health care system.
Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney let the cat out of the bag: "Our game plan was to take all the federal money we could take [and] build the [insurance] exchange. If PPACA is ruled unconstitutional in part or in whole, we're still prepared to go forward with the exchange."
If insanity really is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time, then it appears getting rich will drive you nuts. Exhibit number one: Poor, pitiful rich guy, Sheldon Adelson. Casino owner Adelson seems not to have learned that in politics no less than in casino gambling where he became a billionaire, the establishment house has rigged the game in its favor. Adelson has become a compulsive political gambler who has so much money and is so desperate to elect Republicans to office that he is
his wealth, on the order of $70 million, to elect more fellow-traveling Republicans to office. To what end; for what purpose?
It just goes to show, I guess, it really is true that none are so blind as those that will not see.

Today I got a phone call from o2 (My phone network) telling me I had been randomly selected to see Pink at London's Hyde Park for the Wireless Festival... I am so excited to see her again... I see her last night at Alton Towers... where I also see her getting on a ride (Story in the thread: Tour/Europe: 'Is it possible to meet pink?')
I have wanted to see Pink live for so long, I'm talking 7-9 years, was always unable to go due to so reason or other, now I feel as though it is all happening to me at once... seeing Pink on the ride at Hyde Park right in front of my eyes... 10 meters away from me and then watching her incredible show and then getting that amazing phone call this morning!!!

Pennsylvania's governor says he is suing the National Collegiate Athletics Association in federal court over harsh sanctions imposed on Penn State. Those sanctions followed a child sexual abuse scandal involving Jerry Sandusky, an ex-assistant football coach. The penalties included millions in fines, a four-year bowl ban and the forfeiture of 112 wins by its football team and were signed off on by the university. But Gov. Tom Corbett says the penalties are unfair and filed an anti-trust suit.

text: "3x5" AIDS Initiative Imperiled By Low Funding... (2) ----------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues There is something quite unreal about this whole 3X5 AIDS Ini- tiative from WHO. The funding crisis in development needs to be brought to a head with some very serious planning that includes not only sector "dreamers" but the financial "gnomes" that are in control of the global supply of financial resources. The peo- ple at WHO need to learn from the problems faced by the Global Fund (GFATM) in raising money... and all the other initiatives of the ODA community that are not getting funded! Almost every country in the SOUTH has a financial crisis. Public Finance in the SOUTH is as bad relative to the NORTH as the SOUTH/NORTH health crisis divide. But without addressing the money and finance question all the sector ideas are dreams, and will disappear when the dreamers wake up. We have to set the stage to get some major changes in the fi- nancing of development. Essentially the World Bank Group (and to some extent regional development banks) have almost unlimited access to capital market funds for their lending and their pro- jects. But generally speaking, these loans have tended to miss the local priorities and have merely satisfied "global" priori- ties as defined by the donors. And the end result is, simply put, failed development. Nor am I not waiting for Foreign Direct Investment to make de- velopment successful. The FDI business model is simple, and while there is usually massive international corporate value adding, at the community level there is usually value destruc- tion (and often absolutely permanent!!!). Community priorities that satisfy local needs should be at the top of the financing agenda. But how is it possible to do this? Clearly this is not something that the ODA community can handle, including the World Bank, and the UN organizations, and national governments. But it is something that a reformed financial sec- tor should be able to do. MicroFinance institutions are starting to do it. Some local banks are starting to focus on the possi- bilities. The technology is available. But the knowledge about all this is not yet good enough to jus- tify substantial scaling up, and does not yet support a new set of financial instruments to finance a revived financial sector. I would welcome feedback about this. There has been virtually no practical outcome from the Monterrey meetings on Financing for Development..... HELP. The developing world needs financing, it needs it now and it should be done in a way that builds value in the borrowers' communities.

Augustinian Inversions: How would the Bishop Contend in Postmodernity?
Over the last several years of studying contemporary (continental) philosophy and theology and the theology of Augustine, I've noticed several recurring themes, or rather, inversion of themes between contemporary theological battles and those in which Augustine was involved. Of course these inversion only makes sense from a broadly Augustinian point of view (which you can feel free to contest), but I think noting these inversions may demystify some common differences and...

Yamaha Factory Racing is the company's direct link to the highest level of motocross– the FIM Motocross World Championship – where their prototype and development ideas, research and innovations form part of the valuable feedback towards Yamaha HQ in Iwata. The race team is the competitive forefront of the YRRD (Yamaha Rinaldi R&D) technical wing where the dependable and excellent base of YZ production motorcycles are taken and enhanced for competition and continuous testing. YRRD was established in 1995 by former World Champion Michele Rinaldi and has almost reached two decades with Yamaha moving through two-stroke and four-stroke mechanical eras. YRRD is also indispensible in the creation of the sought-after Yamaha racing kits (used by other teams in the Grand Prix paddock and by the likes of double FIM Women's World Champion Kiara Fontanesi) .
The initial partnership between Yamaha and the Rinaldi set-up was an immediate success, soaring to the 1992 250cc world title with the late Donny Schmit. Since then the association has continued to grow and prosper, maintaining a place in the upper echelons of the sport. In 1994 the Italian squad reaped more acclaim in a different category when another American, Bob Moore, sealed the 125cc Championship. The Rinaldis carried on running the factory's official 125 and 250cc efforts and then further on-track glory came when the team began campaigning Yamaha's four-strokes in 1999; it was to be the start of a comprehensive streak of results. Andrea Bartolini won the 500 world title with the production based YZ400F in that first year, with Marnicq Bervoets taking the runnerup position the following term.
Grand Prix victories and podiums have since been celebrated with the likes of Josh Coppins, Marc de Reuver, David Philippaerts, Steven Frossard and Gautier Paulin. Coppins came extremely close to gaining the title in 2007 before an injury towards the end of the season cruelly denied the New Zealander his life dream. Philippaerts took the YZ450FM to world championship success in 2008 in what was his first term with the team; the emotional scenes at the final 2008 Grand Prix in Italy will not quickly be forgotten. Frossard continued the trend of debut riders being able to make a vast impression in their maiden year when the Frenchman claimed two MX1 victories in 2011 and finished the campaign as runner-up in the standings. Paulin rode the YZ450FM for the first time as a wild-card at the last round of 2011 and won the Italian Grand Prix. Since 2010 the Italians have split their focus again between the premier classand the MX2 division and therefore YZ450 and 250FM machinery. Paulin and then Christophe Charlier both won Grand Prix motos on the quarterlitre bike in four years of evolution and refinement towards what is now the production 2014 YZ250F. Charlier will start his third season as part of the team in 2014 and is joined by promising young Belgian Jeremy Van Horebeek in MXGP. JVH will be hoping for the same 'rookie effect' on the YZ450FM that brought glory to Coppins, Philippaerts and Frossard.

CATIA V5-Embedded CFD Helps Save Four Months in Design of Automotive Valve
The current move from hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants to CO2 presents a major challenge to designers of valves used in automotive air conditioning systems. The new refrigerant is required to operate at much higher pressures and flow rates which in turn makes it critical to substantially reduce the pressure drop through the valve. CATIA V5-Embedded CFD allowed VENTREX Automotive to meet the new design requirements without having to build a new prototype with every design change. "In the past, we would have had to build and test at least 50 valves in order to get the design right," said Peter Pfaffenwimmer, Project Manager for VENTREX Automotive GmbH, Graz, Austria.
"CAD-embedded CFD makes it possible to determine simulation results nearly as fast as we can change the design. The result is that we were able to improve the flow rate of our new CO2 valve by 15% while eliminating about 50 prototypes and reducing time to market by 4 months. "
Daniel Gaisbacher, Project Manager for Ventrex
About a decade ago, most automotive conditioning systems converted from CFC-12, a refrigerant that harms the ozone layer, to HFC-134a, a refrigerant that does not harm the ozone layer. Even while this conversion was being made, it was understood that HFC-134a was only a short-term solution because it tends to promote global warming. Now automobile manufacturers are beginning the process of converting their air conditioning systems to CO2. CO2 is a refrigerant that exists in nature so it does not damage the ozone layer. Although carbon dioxide is a global warming gas, it has less than 1/1000 the effect of the hydrofluorocarbons it is replacing. But for CO2 to be effective, the system needs to operate at pressures 7 to 10 times higher than HFC-134a based systems and this requires redesign of many air conditioning system components.
Need to redesign air conditioning valves
One of the components of the air conditioning system most affected by the change to CO2 refrigerant is the valves used to evacuate and charge the system. When the system is charged, vapor-phase refrigerant flows through the valve into the air conditioning system. Existing valve designs are not able to operate under the conditions required when CO2 is used as the refrigerant. Most important, the pressure drops seen in existing valves are too high to enable the required flow rates. Valves need to be redesigned to remove constrictions and improve their efficiency.
Reducing the pressure drop of valves is challenging because of the complexity of internal flow passages caused by the presence of components used to open and close the valve. In the typical valve, the geometrical features in the flow passages create obstructions that increase the pressure drop of the valve. But the complexity of the flow means that it is rarely possible to determine simply by looking at the geometry which features are the most significant from a pressure drop standpoint and what is the best way to correct them. In the past, engineers would make design changes based on educated guesses. For each design change they would need to build and test a prototype of the valve. This process was time-consuming and expensive and the test results did not provide diagnostic information that would help engineers determine whether or not the design change had the intended effect.
CFD provides diagnostic information
CFD provides a potential solution to this problem by simulating the flow within the valve. CFD makes it possible to build a software prototype of the valve that can be solved to determine the pressure drop of any particular design iteration without having to build a prototype. A key advantage of CFD is that the simulation also provides diagnostic information such as the flow velocity and direction at every point in the flow field. This type of information helps engineers evaluate the entire flow field to determine which geometric features are providing the greatest obstacles to flow and offering insights into what type of changes might be able to overcome these obstacles.
Up to now, however, CFD has been primarily used to design high value added products that depend heavily on fluid flow such as airplanes and automobiles but has been used only infrequently by valve manufacturers, which tend to be small and medium sized companies. The greatest obstacle to the use of CFD has been that traditional CFD codes require the user to have a deep understanding of the computational aspects of fluid dynamics in order to be certain of obtaining accurate results. For example, users need to know how to translate their computer-aided design (CAD) model into the CFD environment, then "reverse" the model so that empty flow space rather than the solid product is modeled, create a mesh with the right properties, determine boundary conditions, select the right physical models, tweak solver settings to ensure convergence, as well as other tasks.
CAD/CFD interplay cuts design time
But in the past few years a new generation of CFD software has become available that by extends CAD functionality to include fluid flow and heat transfer simulation within a single user environment. VENTREX has long used CATIA CAD software so they selected Flomerics' FloEFD.V5 software, a full-featured general purpose fluid flow and heat transfer analysis software specifically developed to work inside CATIA V5. "We selected FloEFD.V5 because it simplifies the process of performing fluid flow analysis to the point where it can be accomplished by any engineer," said Gaisbacher.
Johannes Holzer, also a Project Manager, performed the analysis on the new CO2 valve. He began by calling up the initial concept design in CATIA V5. Then without leaving CATIA he executed a menu pick that invoked the FloEFD.V5 CFD software to simulate the native CATIA data. The CFD software analyzed the CAD model and identified the voids within the valve where fluids could flow. An automatic mesher created a grid for analysis within these voids. Holzer then attached the boundary conditions directly to the CAD model, in this case an inlet pressure of 59 bar and an outlet pressure of 1 bar which rises to the system pressure of 59 bar.
Iterating to an optimized design
"Within a few hours we had completed the simulation of the initial concept design and we were able to turn our attention to improving it," said Pfaffenwimmer. "We viewed the simulation results within CATIA mapped onto our original model. These results included vector plots that showed the direction and velocity and flow of the refrigerant at every point and color-coded contour maps that showed properties such as velocity and pressure. The simulation of the existing design showed us how the refrigerant was flowing through the valve and helped us identify areas where flow was being constricted."
"Rather than use our intuition to propose design changes," Gaisbacher said, "we zeroed in on the precise areas that the simulation identified as the source of the pressure drop. We started by the relatively simple and inexpensive step of putting chamfers on the corners that were associated with the pressure drops. We made the changes in CATIA and then pushed a button to regenerate the mesh. Then we re-ran the simulation. We could see not only the effect of our change on the overall pressure drop and flow rate and also get a better understanding of the sensitivity of the design to changes in a particular parameter."
"The ability to make our design changes in CATIA and then have these changes automatically ripple over to the CFD simulation reduced the time from when we developed the design change to when we got the results to an hour or less," Pfaffenwimmer said. "In some cases we discovered that smoothing out the corners alone did not have a major impact on the pressure drop. In those cases, we experimented with more extensive remedies such as increasing the size or changing the shape of flow remedies. The key advantage of CFD in these cases was that it provided a window into not only the overall performance of the design but even more important the performance in the local areas that were directly affected by the latest design change. We took full advantage of this benefit by re-simulating and checking the results after each design change to determine whether or not the change had the desired effect."
"It would not have been practical to use conventional CFD software in this application because by the time we could have gotten simulation results the design would have changed to a degree that would have made them obsolete," Gaisbacher concluded. "On the other hand, by using CFD software that is embedded into our CAD software we could evaluate the performance of each new design iteration almost as fast as we could conceive it. This made it possible to quickly improve the performance of the design. We reduced pressure drop to the point that flow rate improved by about 15% in the final design at any given pressure. We reduced the number of prototypes that were required during the design process by about 50, which saved a considerable amount of money but most importantly let us bring the product to market faster. We have already shipped this product to customers and they have verified that it performs nearly exactly as predicted by the simulation."

Argentina is one of South America's largest and most important economies. It has a population of 40,412,376 inhabitants and a GDP per capita of $14,700 (adjusted by purchasing power parity). Although it suffered through a severe financial crisis in 2001-2002, the country's economy has now almost fully recovered to pre-crisis levels. This has been demonstrated by the positive impact that the recent economic recovery is had on living standards, as demonstrated by the steady improvement in key social indicators. In fact, Argentina is now ranked 45th in the Human Development Index and According to the World Bank, poverty and indigence rates fell between the second semester of 2003 and the second semester of 2004. The percentage of individuals (households) in poverty declined to 40.2 percent at the end of 2004. As the country continues on its road to recovery, the scars of a prolonged economic contraction remain visible throughout its territory.
Despite indications that the worst is over and the economy has stabilized, from the social perspective, Argentina still has a long way to go before it fully recovers to pre-crisis levels. Argentina's commitment to improving the conditions of its citizens and achieving the MDGs appear to be on having some success. Argentina has developed ninth objective and modified some objectives to complement those set in the Millennium Declaration. This ninth goal is related to the reduction of unemployment and the improvement of working conditions in their territory.
Today, the major concerns are the increasing polarization, impoverishment, and social inequities that have grown since the end of the 90's, and need to be tackled. In terms of distribution of family income, Argentina's Gini Index is 45.84 (2009). As a consequence of unemployment and income reduction, half of the Argentine families lack a steady income to assure a basic package of goods and services. In the last few years the Argentine Social Security System - the main axis of the this country's health system – has been facing a very serious financial crisis bringing almost all health institutions dependent on it to near collapse conditions. In that sense, the country faces two serious health challenges; 1) to overcome the sanitary emergency and 2) to close the gap that statistical means occult, and define the margins of inequity between the richest and poorest sectors of the population.

good stuff btw if you don't mind heres a petition for you to sign
This is one of the shortest, easiest requests you'll ever hear from anyone: Help me stop the Keystone XL pipeline before it's too late.
The State Department just released its final environmental impact statement for the pipeline, and the clock is ticking. There aren't many barriers left. If TransCanada and the oil industry get their way, the deal will be done in a matter of months. This is one of the most important decisions President Obama will make during his presidency, and we need to urge him to do the right thing.
Please co-sign my comment below to President Obama, telling him to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. I'll be sending it to the president soon, along with the names of everyone who signs on in agreement, so I hope you'll add your name.
Please reject the Keystone XL pipeline, based on its clearly documented environmental risks, the multiple corporate conflicts of interest it entails, and the flawed process the State Department used to support it.

SunCruz executives Jack Abramoff and Ben Waldman are walking examples of the strange and sometimes uneasy alliance between the family-values party and the gambling industry. Both men have strong ties to the Christian Coalition, which is adamantly opposed to gambling. And both were affiliated with the Reagan administration before leaving government service for careers with conservative causes.
Abramoff, SunCruz's vice president, has been connected to the Christian right since he was a student at Brandeis University, where he served as the head of a conservative group called the College Republicans. In that position he enlisted a young Ralph Reed as his top deputy; the two have remained close friends ever since. After graduating from Georgetown University law school in 1986, Abramoff later went to work in the Reagan White House and played an integral role in starting the Christian Coalition with Reed.
Waldman, the company president, served as associate director of Reagan's White House Office of Public Liaison and in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 1988 he began work as press secretary and top aide to Pat Robertson during the televangelist's run for the presidency. (Robertson now directs the Christian Coalition.) Waldman then staged two failed bids for a West Virginia congressional seat in the 1990s.
There's an easy answer to the question of how the pair reconciles affiliation with both the Christian Coalition and the gambling industry, says company spokesman Mike Scanlon, also a GOP lobbyist. (Abramoff and Waldman declined to comment.) Both Abramoff and Waldman are Jewish, and the basic tenets of that faith don't preclude gambling, he says. "Jack is a deeply religious man himself; he's a conservative, Orthodox Jew," Scanlon says. "But there is no conflict in his religion with representing or owning gaming interests. Gambling is permissible by their religion."
That explanation doesn't wash with the Rev. Tom Grey, executive director of the National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling. "Bullshit," says Grey, who belongs to the United Methodist Church. He accuses the Republican Party of selling out to the big money of the gambling industry, a view shared by Christian Right stalwarts like former presidential candidate Gary Bauer and Focus on the Family president James Dobson. "It's hypocritical for the Republican Party to talk about family values when it's promoting a business that destroys families," Grey adds. "What politicians want to do is say the right things about gambling and then take the money it gives them."
There is no question that Abramoff and Waldman, who are both in their early forties, give SunCruz considerable governmental clout in an industry that relies heavily on the kindness of politicians.
Abramoff is a lobbying powerhouse who has been paid millions of dollars by the Choctaw Indians of Mississippi to keep Congress from taxing revenues made at their casinos. He also represents E-lottery.com, which provides Internet services to state lotteries. In December he joined the Miami-based law firm of Greenberg Traurig, bringing $8 million worth of annual lobbying business with him, according to Scanlon. Last July he was featured in a Wall Street Journal article that called him a "GOP strongman" in Washington because of his pull with Republican leaders such as Tom DeLay, the majority whip in the House of Representatives, and Texas Rep. Dick Armey. Gaming interests have filled the campaign chests of some Republicans, including DeLay and Armey, say antigambling activists. "Tom DeLay blocks all antigambling legislation," says Mark Harrison, a Capitol Hill lobbyist who works for antigambling forces. "The industry runs all the money through him, so he blocks the bills." (DeLay's office in Texas didn't return messages from New Times.)
At present SunCruz faces little threat on the national level; a bill that would have banned gambling cruises to international waters was killed last year. But the industry has voiced concern about new attorney general John Ashcroft, another Abramoff friend, who has professed his opposition to gambling in all forms. And President George W. Bush, while he has made no promise, has said he doesn't support the gambling business. "Jack has a relationship with the President," Scanlon says. "He doesn't have a bat phone or anything, but if he wanted an appointment, he would have one."
On the state level, Attorney General Bob Butterworth, a Democrat, has been trying (and failing) to shut down SunCruz for years, but Scanlon says he doesn't expect that kind of combative relationship to continue. "Bob Butterworth had issues not only with the day-cruise industry but also with Gus as an individual," Scanlon says. "We've reached out to the [Florida] attorney general's office, and we intend to follow not only the letter but also the spirit of the law. We are far different people than Gus Boulis and prior management."
The most powerful man in the state, Gov. Jeb Bush, hasn't embraced the gambling industry. But he has taken little action to curtail it. "As far as I can tell, he's not in favor of gambling expansion, but we have no reason to believe he is antigaming," Scanlon says.

Niall Horan and Demi Lovato have made no secret of the fact they have the hots for each other, but as with all good celebrity romances, the stars refuse to confirm that they are actually dating (yes Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, we're talking about you).
In fact, Demi recently insisted she was single and concentrating on her career. Very sensible.
But that hasn't stopped so-called 'insiders' close to the One Direction star and new X Factor USA judge spilling the beans on their relationship, and according to reports, it could be more serious than anyone thought.
An anonymous insider claimed that Niall is considering moving across the pond to spend more time with the 19-year-old Demi. Noooooooooo!
The source told Closer: "Niall told his family he's crazy about Demi.
"He's already going to have to spend at least six months a year in the States with One Direction, so he wants to base himself near her and make a proper go of it."
He can't go! Niall would miss Jeremy Kyle too much and he loves being at home surrounded by his One Direction plaques – check out his latest Tweets.
For now, it seems the musical twosome are content with conducting their 'friendship' via Skype, but if things hot up, it looks like our loss will be America's gain, as Niall contemplates life across the pond.
And if things don't work out with Demi, at least he would always have Katy Perry's oh-so-glamorous shoulder to cry on.
The Firework singer has been gushing about handsome Horan, telling The Sun: "Niall is just such a sweetheart. I'm a big fan of One Direction."
The 27-year-old continued: "They've been so sweet to me every time I meet them, they're like the biggest thing in the world right now. I'm thrilled for the success they're enjoying and love hanging out with them — Niall is just lovely."

What2Watch In Reality: Kim Isn't Tardy After All
Also: Emily Maynard gets mad, and Teen Mom comes back.
Here's the best in reality TV this coming week – because Sharon and Howie outvoted Howard and wanted to see it:
Monday: The Bachelorette (ABC, 8 p.m.): The final ten plus Emily are in London to act in Romeo and Juliet, hopefully with Ryan as Mercutio. Also, this is the week we finally get to see what made Emily mad enough to drop an f-bomb (maybe she's been reading the tabloid stories about her).
Tia & Tamera (Style, 8 p.m.): The Sister, Sister sisters are back for a second season, with Tia dealing with the usual new mom issues, and Tamera trying to keep her hand in show biz while spending part of her time outside L.A.
Extreme Couponing (TLC, 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.): One of the profiled couponers this week is a 14-year-old girl. She needs an age-appropriate hobby that won't put her on either this show, or 16 and Pregnant.
Tuesday: Barter Kings (A&E, 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.): This new show promises to be a good partner with Storage Wars – another half hour that aims to prove that everyone can make a mint off the crap lying around their house.
Teen Mom (MTV, 10 p.m.): The last season with the original cast premieres with Amber preparing to go to rehab. Gosh, I wonder how that will turn out? Also, Maci prepares her little one for daycare. Ah, they grow up so fast. Both babies AND moms.
Wednesday: Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network, 10 p.m.): Robert Irvine will probably be less of a barking pill this week, since he is undertaking a mission at the behest of Michelle Obama.
Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew (MTV, 10 p.m.): The season finale is here – do you realize there have been seven seasons of this? Few reality show champions have done as well in the real world as JabbaWockeeZ, but you really never hear anyone talking about ABDC.
Thursday: Don't Be Tardy For the Wedding (Bravo, 9 p.m.): The most instructive thing about this series (spoiler alert: they do get married) has been proving once and for all that Kim Zolciak may be the most ridiculous person on earth. But if she stops with the wigs, I might reconsider.
The Pauly D Project (MTV, 10:30 p.m.): The first (only?) season ends with Pauly contemplating what the future holds. If he had known then that his future would include The Choice, he might have run into the surf and never come out.
Friday: Randy to the Rescue (TLC, 10 p.m.): Fashion expert Randy Fenoli travels the country handling bridal fashion emergencies, with the premiere episode set in the bride-intensive town of Las Vegas. You know, if TLC combined their wedding stuff with Sister Wives, they might have the most powerful reality franchise of all time!
Sunday: Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E, 9 p.m.): Kendall and Kylie make a mess on the carpet, which I sure hope doesn't mean what it would mean if they were puppies. Also, Kim and Scott socialize, and Kris bumps into someone she once had an affair with.
Real Housewives of New Jersey (Bravo, 10 p.m.): Caroline's daughter comes to a decision regarding her dieting, while Jacqueline has her own daughter issues regarding the mega-pathetic Ashley. Also, Teresa talks to a bankruptcy attorney, finally.

Italian Sausage and Bread Stuffing
Serves8 (side dish)
- Active time:45 min
- Start to finish:2 1/4 hr
November 2007
This is the stuffing of your dreams, in which everything is a little more rustic, rich, and intense than you remember.
- 1 (3/4- to 1-pound) round Italian loaf, cut into 1-inch cubes (8 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, divided
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 4 large celery ribs, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
- 1/2 cup turkey giblet stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (2 oz)
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
a 4-qt shallow ceramic or glass baking dish (14 by 10 by 2 3/4 inches)
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter baking dish.
Put bread in 2 shallow baking pans and bake, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until just dried out, about 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook half of sausage, stirring and breaking it into small pieces, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Brown remaining sausage in remaining tablespoon oil, transferring to bowl.
Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean. Heat butter over medium heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, celery, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add vegetables and bread to sausage.
Whisk together eggs, 1/2 cup cream, turkey stock, cheese, and parsley, then stir into stuffing and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Reserve 5 cups stuffing to stuff turkey and spoon remainder into baking dish, then drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup cream. Cover stuffing and chill.
About 1 hour before stuffed turkey is finished roasting, bring dish of stuffing to room temperature. When turkey is done, increase oven temperature to 425°F and bake stuffing, covered tightly with foil, until hot throughout, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until top is golden and crisp, about 15 minutes more.
Cooks' notes:
- Bread can be toasted 3 days ahead and kept (once cool) in a sealed bag at room temperature.
- Stuffing can be prepared (but not baked) 4 hours before roasting turkey.
- If baking stuffing at the same time as potatoes, put stuffing in upper third of oven and potatoes in bottom third (allow extra time).

Spock's Beard music & merch including the Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep CD, Downloads and Tee Shirt!
This will definitely not be your ordinary, boring meet and greet. PLEASE NOTE: This VIP package is supplementary to your concert ticket. In other words, you still need to purchase a ticket if you want to see the concert. First, we will make a special tour laminate (VIP pass) for you. You will be able to collect your laminate at the venue during sound check time and use it to be able to hang around during sound check, which is cool, but here's the best part: You'll have a chance to come up on the stage with us for 10 or 15 minutes after we finish our sound check. We will be up there with you, so you will have the chance to ask us any questions you may have about the band or our gear, find out how we get sounds and see up close how our equipment is set up, get autographs if you'd like, and even have a picture taken of yourself with one of our guitars strapped on, or sitting at Jimmy's drum set, or standing within Ryo's keyboard zone.
Then we'll leave the stage and take you on a brief tour of our tour bus, which will only take a minute or two and is not really that exciting, but if you've never seen a band tour bus it would be interesting to see where we live while on tour. (There may be a venue or two where the bus is parked really far away from the venue (probably Paris, maybe London as well), so in those cases the bus tour will not be available.) That sounds fun, right? The price of this adventure is €100. To purchase a VIP package, go here (link to Buy Stuff store on website). After you purchase this package, we will contact you to find out which show you will be attending. This package will be available at all shows except for 2Days Prog Festival in Veruno, IT.

The Progressive Nation at Sea cruise, upon the beautiful Norwegian Pearl, was an event that will be considered by many of the musicians and fans that were there as one of their top lifetime live music experiences.

Estimated shipping date - September 1, 2014.
The DVD currently at the manufacturer and is totally on schedule to start shipping by the end of August.
But. . .here's a little surprise.
Since the audio mix is already done and requires no physical manufacturing since it's a digital download, we thought "Why don't we release that now?". We couldn't think of a reason why not, so we'll be sending out download codes on Friday, Aug 08 for the audio-only version of the concert to everyone who preordered either of the two reward options. So keep an eye on your inbox, and if you don't see it in there check your spam folder.
Keep in mind that this is not the DVD video, it's the audio-only digital download version. (It rocks, by the way.)
And. . for those who missed out on the preorder, this audio-only version is now also currently for sale on our Bandcamp page

This is a family favorite with it's light lemon flavor. There are many recipes posted for Chicken Picatta, but I found very few provide accurate nutritional information. I have take special care to record all the ingredients for a proper calculation. The nutritional calculation only use 1/4 cup of flour, even though you need a 1/2 cup to dredge the chicken. Most of the flour will not be used. Submitted by: TXTITA

March 2, 2015
Millions of Oprah fans are waking up this morning, preparing for life without their favorite TV friend.
Oprah's last hurrah, a heartfelt and sincere event, was not really a goodbye; more like a see you down the road.
All alone, without a single guest, Oprah Winfrey shined the spot-light on her audience.
After a 2-day star-studded buildup, her swan song was a love-letter to her fans.
Part pep-talk, part Sunday morning sermon.
Oprah said, "Nothing but the hand of god has made this possible for me."
she urged them to build better lives... Be better people... Much like she's done over the last quarter century, "All the energy you spend trying to hurt somebody else, that energy will turn around and slap you in the face."
And no sooner had her finale hit the airwaves, did Oprah's fan club flood the internet.
"I can barely watch this last show without crying," said one. "It was a great way to end," read another.
Even late night comedians chimed in.
Letterman said, "Every day, I get out of bed and think: `What can I do to suck up to Oprah?"'
At its height in 1991, the show reeled in twelve and a half million viewers. Increasing competition from cable and the internet helped cut her audience in half.
Sam Schechner with The Wall Street Journal said, "What's left is both an opportunity and a danger that Oprah's 7 million or so viewers may not watch TV once she's gone."
Stations across the country are programming Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz into her time slot, TV-talk hosts she helped launch. But few expect lightening to strike again.
Schechner said, "There's shifting sands and possibly opportunities maybe not for a big home run or a grand slam but a number of singles and doubles."
Her numbers broke records; More than four thousand episodes in daytime talk. But unlike Carson or Donahue, she promises not to fade from view. With her own 24-hour network, "I won't say goodbye, I'll say till we meet again."
Loyal fans should know where to find her.

Reserved for Emily C. - Red Sky At Night. . . - Sailors Valentine Pendant with Stick Pearls, Ruby Nuggets and Onyx Necklace This item has been reserved for Emily C. Please do not purchase unless it is intended for you. The Sailors Valentine originated as a way for sailors to not only express their love for wives and family, but to also while away the endless days at sea. Fashioned from varieties of colorful shells found during their travels, these beautiful mosaics were originally housed in wooden boxes and covered in glass. I first became aware of these highly collectible works of art early during our 10 year sojourns to Nantucket for the summer. Imagine my delight in finding these miniature versions of Sailors Valentines encased in vintage/antique pocket watches! An exquisitely detailed scrimshaw depicting a tall ship is the focal point of this unique pocket watch Sailors Valentine. This magnificent ship is surrounded by a painstaking arrangement of the most miniature shells in black & white and ruby red. A whimsical chain of chunky ruby nuggets with hand-coiled loops and black onyx rondelles are interspersed with whimsical hand-linked ivory freshwater stick pearls. The natural aging process of this antique watch case has happily created a blackened finish which is de rigueur this season; while amulets of petal pearls, ruby briolette and 24k gold vermeil seahorse carry out the lure of the sea . These are truly one-of-a-kind designs that will mesmerize your friends! 27.75 long with 2.50 pendant drop. Reference: 27771
