Saint Columbanus (540 – 23 November 615; Irish: Columban, meaning the white dove.) was an Irish missionary notable for founding a number of monasteries on the European continent from around 590 in the Frankish and Italian kingdoms, most notably Luxeuil (in present-day France) and Bobbio (Italy), and stands as an exemplar of Irish missionary activity in early medieval Europe. He spread among the Franks a Celtic monastic rule and Celtic penitential practices for those repenting of sins, which emphasized private confession to a priest, followed by penances levied by the priest in reparation for the sin. He is also one of the earliest identifiable Hiberno-Latin writers.
He encountered opposition, especially from his mother, who strove to detain him by casting herself before him on the threshold of the door. But conquering the feelings of nature, he passed over her prostrate form and left his home forever. His first master was Sinell, Abbot of Cluaninis in Lough Erne. The Irish words "Cluan Innish", which mean "meadow and island", have been contracted to "Cleenish", where the remains of the monastery can be seen at Bellenaleck, County Fermanagh. Under Sinell's instruction, Columbanus composed a commentary on the Psalms (for another identification, see Mo Sinu moccu Min.
He then moved to the celebrated monastery of Bangor on the coast of Down, which at that time had for its abbot St. Comgall. There Columbanus embraced the monastic state, and for many years led a life conspicuous for fervour, regularity and learning. At about the age of 40 he seemed to hear incessantly the voice of God bidding him to preach the Gospel in foreign lands. At first his abbot declined to let him go, but at length he consented.
Columbanus set sail with twelve companions; their names are believed to be St. Attala, Columbanus the Younger, Cummain, Domgal (Deicolus?), Eogain, Eunan, St. Gall, Gurgano, Libran, Lua, Sigisbert and Waldoleno (Strokes, "Apennines", p. 112). This little band passed over to Britain, landing probably on the Scottish coast. Some contend they may have landed in and crossed Cornwall enroute to Brittany. They remained only a short time in England and then crossed over to France, where they arrived probably in 585. The landing site of Columbanus is marked by a shrine at Carnac in Brittany. At once, they began their apostolic mission.
Wherever they went, the people were struck by their modesty, patience and humility. France at that period was in sore need of such a band of monks and preachers. Owing partly to the incursions of barbarians, and partly due to the remissness of the clergy, vice and impiety were prevalent.
He and his followers soon made their way to the court of Gontram, King of Burgundy. Jonas calls it the court of Sigisbert, King of Austrasia and Burgundy, but this is manifestly a blunder, for Sigisbert had been slain in 575. The fame of Columbanus had preceded him. Gontram gave him a gracious reception, inviting him to remain in his kingdom. The saint complied, and selected for his abode the half-ruined Roman fortress at Annegray in the solitudes of the Vosges mountains.
Here the abbot and his monks led the simplest of lives, their food often consisting of nothing but forest herbs, berries, and the bark of young trees. The fame of Columbanus's sanctity drew crowds to his monastery. Many, both nobles and rustics, asked to be admitted into the community. Sick persons came to be cured through their prayers. But Columbanus loved solitude. Often he would withdraw to a cave seven miles distant, with a single companion who acted as messenger between himself and his brethren.
After a few years, the ever-increasing number of his disciples obliged him to build another monastery. Columbanus accordingly obtained from King Gontram the Gallo-Roman castle named "Luxovium" (Luxeuil), some eight miles distant from Annegray. It was in a wild district, thickly covered with pine forests and brushwood. This foundation of the celebrated Luxeuil Abbey took place in 590.
But these two monasteries did not suffice for the numbers who came, and a third had to be erected at Fontaines. The superiors of these houses always remained subordinate to Columbanus. It is said that at this time he instituted a perpetual service of praise, known as laus perennis, by which choir succeeded choir, both day and night (Montalembert, Monks of the West II, 405). He wrote his Rule for these flourishing communities, which embodied the customs of Bangor and other Celtic monasteries.
For nearly 20 years Columbanus resided in France and, during that time, observed the unreformed paschal computation. But a dispute arose. The Frankish bishops were not well disposed towards this stranger abbot, because of his ever-increasing influence, and at last they showed their hostility. They objected to his Celtic Easter and his exclusion of men as well as women from the precincts of his monasteries.
The councils of Gaul held in the first half of the sixth century had given to bishops absolute authority over religious communities, even going so far as to order the abbots to appear periodically before their respective bishops to receive reproof or advice, as might be considered necessary. These enactments, being contrary to the custom of the Celtic monasteries, were readily rejected by Columbanus. In 602 the bishops assembled to judge him. He did not appear, lest, as he tells us, "he might contend in words", but instead addressed a letter to the prelates in which he speaks with a strange mixture of freedom, reverence, and charity. In it he admonishes them to hold synods more frequently, and advises that they pay attention to matters equally important with that of the date of Easter.
As to his paschal cycle he says: "I am not the author of this divergence. I came as a poor stranger into these parts for the cause of Christ, Our Saviour. One thing alone I ask of you, holy Fathers, permit me to live in silence in these forests, near the bones of 17 of my brethren now dead." When the Frankish bishops still insisted the abbot was wrong in obedience to St. Patrick's canon, he laid the question before the Pope St. Gregory I. He dispatched two letters to that pontiff, but they never reached him, "through Satan's intervention".
The third letter is extant, but no trace of an answer appears in St. Gregory's correspondence, owing probably to the fact that the pope died in 604, about the time it reached Rome. In this letter he defended the Celtic custom with considerable freedom but the tone is affectionate. He prays "the holy Pope, his Father", to direct towards him "the strong support of his authority, to transmit the verdict of his favour". Moreover, he apologizes "for presuming to argue, as it were, with him who sits in the chair of Peter, Apostle and Bearer of the Keys".
He directed another epistle to Pope Boniface IV, in which he prays that, if it be not contrary to the Faith, he confirm the tradition of his elders, so that by the papal decision (judicium) he and his monks may be enabled to follow the rites of their ancestors. Before Pope Boniface's answer (which has been lost) was given, Columbanus was outside the jurisdiction of the Frankish bishops. As we hear no further accusation on the Easter question -- not even in those brought against his successor at Luxeuil Abbey, Eustasius of Luxeuil in 624 -- it would appear that after Columbanus had moved to Italy, he gave up the Celtic Easter (cf. Acta SS. O.S.B., II, p. 7).
In addition to the Easter question, Columbanus had to wage war against vice in the royal household. The young Theodoric, to whose kingdom Luxeuil belonged, was living a life of debauchery. He was completely in the hands of his grandmother, Queen Brunehault (Brunehild). On the death of King Gontram, the succession passed to his nephew, Childebert II, son of Brunehault. At his death the latter left two sons, Theodebert II and Thierry II, both minors. Theodebert succeeded to Austrasia, Thierry to Burgundy, but Brunehault constituted herself their guardian, and held in her own power the governments of the two kingdoms.
As she advanced in years she sacrificed everything to the passion of sovereignty, she encouraged Thierry in the practice of concubinage in order that there might be no rival queen. Thierry, however, had a veneration for Columbanus, and often visited him. On these occasions the saint admonished and rebuked him, but in vain. Brunehault became enraged with Columbanus, stirred up the bishops and nobles to find fault with his Rules regarding monastic enclosure. Finally, Thierry and his party went to Luxeuil and ordered the abbot to conform to the usages of the country. Columbanus refused, whereupon he was taken prisoner to Besançon to await further orders.
Taking advantage of the absence of restraint, he speedily returned to his monastery. On hearing this, Thierry and Brunehault sent soldiers to drive him back to Ireland. None but Irish monks were to accompany him. Accordingly, he was hurried to Nevers, made to embark on the Loire, and thus proceed to Nantes. At Tours he visited the tomb of St. Martin and sent a message to Thierry predicting that, within three years, he and his children would perish. At Nantes, before the embarkation, he addressed a letter to his monks, full of affection. It is a memorial of the love and tenderness which existed in that otherwise austere and passionate soul.
In it he desires all to obey Attala, whom he requests to abide with the community unless strife should arise on the Easter question. His letter concludes thus "They come to tell me the ship is ready. The end of my parchment compels me to finish my letter. Love is not orderly; it is this which has made it confused. Farewell, dear hearts of mine; pray for me that I may live in God." As soon as they set sail, such a storm arose that ship was driven ashore. The captain would have nothing more to do with these holy men; they were thus free to go where they pleased. Columbanus made his way to the friendly King Clothaire at Soissons in Neustria where he was gladly welcomed. Clothaire in vain pressed him to remain in his territory.
Columbanus left Neustria in 611 for the court of King Theodebert of Austrasia. At Metz he received an honourable welcome, and then proceeding to Mainz, he embarked upon the Rhine in order to reach the Suevi and Alamanni, to whom he wished to preach the Gospel. Ascending the river and its tributaries, the Aar and the Limmat, he came to the Lake of Zürich. Tuggen was chosen as a centre from which to evangelize, but the work was not successful.
Instead of producing fruit, the zeal of Columbanus only excited persecution. In despair he resolved to pass on by way of Arbon to Bregenz on Lake Constance, where there were still some traces of Christianity. Here the saint found an oratory dedicated to St. Aurelia, into which the people had brought three brass images of their tutelary deities. He commanded St. Gall, who knew the language, to preach to the inhabitants, and many were converted. The images were destroyed, and Columbanus blessed the little church, placing the relics of St. Aurelia beneath the altar. A monastery was erected, and the brethren forthwith observed their regular life.
Columbanus is reported to have performed a miracle in Bregenz: The townpeople had placed a large vessel in the town center, filled with beer. They told Columbanus it was intended as a sacrifice to their god Wodan (Illi aiunt se Deo suo Vodano nomine), whom they identified with Roman Mercury. Angrily, Columbanus breathed on the vessel, which broke asunder with a loud noise, spilling the beer. After about a year, in consequence of another rising against the community, Columbanus resolved to cross the Alps into Italy. An additional reason for his departure was the fact that the arms of Thierry had prevailed against Theodebert, and thus the country on the banks of the Upper Rhine had become the property of his enemy.
On his arrival at Milan in 612, Columbanus met with a kindly welcome from Lombard King Agilulf and Queen Theodelinda. He immediately began to confute the Arians and wrote a treatise against their teaching, which has been lost. At the request of the king, he wrote a letter to Pope Boniface on the debated subject of "The Three Chapters". These writings were considered to favour Nestorianism.
Pope St. Gregory, however, tolerated in Lombardy those persons who defended them, among whom was King Agilulf. Columbanus would probably have taken no active part in this matter had not the king pressed him so to do. But on this occasion his zeal certainly outran his knowledge. The letter opens with all apology that a "foolish Scot" should be charged to write for a Lombard king. He acquaints the pope with the imputations brought against him, and he is particularly severe with the memory of Pope Vigilius.
He entreats the pontiff to prove his orthodoxy and assemble a council. He says that his freedom of speech accords with the usage of his country. "Doubtless", Montalembert remarks, "some of the expressions which he employs should be now regarded as disrespectful and justly rejected. But in those young and vigorous times, faith and austerity could be more indulgent" (II, 440).
On the other hand, the letter expresses the most affectionate and impassioned devotion to the Holy See. The whole, however, may be judged from this fragment: "We Irish, though dwelling at the far ends of the earth, are all disciples of St. Peter and St. Paul... Neither heretic, nor Jew, nor schismatic has ever been among us; but the Catholic Faith, Just as it was first delivered to us by yourselves, the successors of the Apostles, is held by us unchanged... we are bound [devincti] to the Chair of Peter, and although Rome is great and renowned, through that Chair alone is she looked on as great and illustrious among us ... On account of the two Apostles of Christ, you [the pope] are almost celestial, and Rome is the head of the whole world, and of the Churches".
If zeal for orthodoxy caused him to overstep the limits of discretion, his real attitude towards Rome is sufficiently clear. He declares the pope to be: "his Lord and Father in Christ", "The Chosen Watchman", "The Prelate most dear to all the Faithful", "The most beautiful Head of all the Churches of the whole of Europe", "Pastor of Pastors", "The Highest", "The First", "The First Pastor, set higher than all mortals", "Raised near into all the Celestial Beings", "Prince of the Leaders", "His Father", "His immediate Patron", "The Steersman", "The Pilot of the Spiritual Ship" (Allnatt, "Cathedra Petri", 106).
But it was necessary that, in Italy, Columbanus should have a settled abode, so the king gave him a tract of land called Bobbio, between Milan and Genoa, near the River Trebbia, situated in a defile of the Apennines. On his way there he taught the Faith in the town of Mombrione, which is called San Colombano to this day. Padre della Torre considers that the saint made two journeys into Italy, which were confounded by Jonas.
On the first occasion he went to Rome and received from Pope Gregory many sacred relics (Stokes, Apennines, 132). This may possibly explain the traditional spot in St. Peter's, where St. Gregory and St. Columba are supposed to have met (Moran, Irish SS. in Great Britain, 105). At Bobbio the saint repaired the half-ruined church of St. Peter, and erected his celebrated abbey, which for centuries was stronghold of orthodoxy in Northern Italy. Thither came Clothaire's messengers inviting the aged abbot to return, now that his enemies were dead. But he could not go.
He sent a request that the king would always protect his dear monks at Luxeuil. He prepared for death by retiring to his cave on the mountain-side overlooking the Trebbia, where, according to a tradition, he had dedicated an oratory to Our Lady (Montalembert, "Monks of the West", II, 444). He died at Bobbio (in part the model for the great monastery in Umberto Eco's novel The Name of the Rose) in 615.
Among his principal miracles are: (1) procuring of food for a sick monk and curing the wife of his benefactor; (2) escape from hurt when surrounded by wolves; (3) obedience of a bear which evacuated a cave at his biddings; (4) producing a spring of water near his cave; (5) repletion of the Luxeuil granary when empty; (6) multiplication of bread and beer for his community; (7) curing of the sick monks, who rose from their beds at his request to reap the harvest; (8) giving sight to a blind man at Orleans; (9) destruction by his breath of a cauldron of beer prepared for a pagan festival; (10) taming a bear, and yoking it to a plough.
Chapter VII deals with the Choir Offices. Sunday Matins in winter consisted of seventy-five psalms and twenty-five antiphons-- three psalms to each antiphon. In spring and autumn these were reduced to thirty-six, and in summer to twenty-four, fewer were said on week days. The day hours consisted of Terce, Sext, None and Vespers. Three psalms were said at each of these Offices, except Vespers, when twelve psalms were said.
Chapter X regulates penances (often corporal) for offences, and it is here that the Rule of St. Columbanus differs so widely from that of St. Benedict. Stripes or fasts were enjoined for the smallest faults. The habit of the monks consisted of a tunic of undyed wool, over which was worn the cuculla, or cowl, of the same material. A great deal of time was devoted to various kinds of manual labour, not unlike the life in monasteries of other rules.
The Rule of St. Columbanus was approved of by the Council of Mâcon in 627, but it was destined before the close of the century to be superseded by that of St. Benedict. For several centuries in some of the greater monasteries the two rules were observed conjointly.
The fascination of his saintly personality drew numerous communities around him. That he possessed real affection for others is abundantly manifest in his letter to his brethren. Archbishop Healy eulogises him thus: "A man more holy, more chaste, more self-denying, a man with loftier aims and purer heart than Columbanus was never born in the Island of Saints" (Ireland's Ancient Schools, 378).
Regarding his attitude towards the Holy See, although with Celtic warmth and flow of words he could defend mere custom, there is nothing in his strongest expressions which implies that, in matters of faith, he for a moment doubted Rome's supreme authority. His influence in Europe was due to the conversions he effected and to the rule that he composed. What gave rise to his apostolate? Possibly the restless energy of the Celtic character, which, not finding sufficient scope in Ireland, directed itself in the cause of Christ to foreign lands. It may be that the example and success of St. Columba in Caledonia stimulated him to similar exertions. The example, however, of Columbanus in the sixth century stands out as the prototype of missionary enterprise towards the countries of Europe, so eagerly followed up from England and Ireland by such men as Saints Killian, Virgilius, Donatus, Wilfrid, Willibrord, Swithbert, Boniface, and Ursicinus of Saint-Ursanne.
If Columbanus's abbey at Bobbio in Italy became a citadel of faith and learning, Luxeuil in France became the nursery of saints and apostles. From its walls went forth men who carried his rule, together with the Gospel, into France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. There are said to have been sixty-three such apostles (Stokes, Forests of France, 254). These disciples of Columbanus are accredited with founding over one hundred different monasteries (ib., 74). The canton and town still bearing the name of St. Gall testify how well one disciple succeeded.
St. Columbanus is named in the Roman Martyrology on 23 November, but his feast is kept by the Benedictines and throughout Ireland on 24 November.
In art St. Columbanus is represented bearded bearing the monastic cowl, he holds in his hand a book with an Irish satchel, and stands in the midst of wolves. Sometimes he is depicted in the attitude of taming a bear, or with sun-beams over his head (Husenheth, "Emblems", p. 33).

Find the Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr.
Print and cut out Wonder Pets Clay Frame Templates.
Knead the whole block of turquoise sculpting clay in your hand until it's soft. Have your child roll a 1 1/2-inch ball, flatten it, and then use a rolling pin or any cylinder-shaped object to roll out the piece until it's big enough to cover the square shape.
Place the square shape on top of the clay layer, and have your child cut around the shape on the clay with the plastic knife. Peel away the edges.
Place the heart paper shape on top of the clay square, and have your child cut around the shape on the clay. Take out the central heart-shaped clay, and now you have a turquoise square with a heart cutout in the center. Save the clay heart so later you can trace the turquoise badge circle onto it.
Roll a 1 1/2-inch ball of red sculpting clay. Flatten and roll it out until it's bigger than the triangle shape. Use the knife to trace the triangle and the Wonder Pets "W" onto red clay.
Roll a 3/4-inch ball of yellow sculpting clay. Flatten the ball and roll it out. Trace the small circle onto yellow clay, and trace the big circle onto the turquoise clay heart.
Arrange the clay shapes like the image reference on the templates.
Place on the pan and bake at 275°F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Cut a strip of magnetic tape and attach to the back of the frame.
Cut your photo to fit the frame and attach from behind. Place the frame on your fridge or anywhere that applies!

BEAUTIFUL, doesn't have to be spiked

Comments about Paula Young Bebe Wig by Estetica Designs:
I wrote a review, but wanted to attach a couple of different photos. This is a quality product, & unlike some of the lesser-cost wigs, you can't see through to the seams -- it really looks like real hair! I bought it in the R24/18BT & LOVE it! It's a wheat color, not too blonde...almost like a light brown but with a little bit of a golden cast. I wouldn't have bought from the picture on the site, given the spiked look, but bought locally when my PY order was not delivered overnight as ordered (I'd cut off my color & my hair was WAY too short!). Am SO glad I bought this, as it looks like my own hair, not a wig! Don't hesitate to buy this one, folks, it's worth the extra money!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LOVE THIS! Doesn't have to be spiked!
I bought this wig locally, when my PY order didn't ship overnight as I needed (I'd cut color off my gray hair, leaving my hair WAY too short!), & I LOVE it! It's not one that I would've ordered by the picture, due to the spiked top, but I comb it down a bit with my fingers so it isn't spiked (work in a bank, like a more conservative look), & customers do NOT know that it's a wig! After trying quite a few PY styles that DID look like wigs on me & didn't have a quality feel, this one is WONDERFUL!! I bought it in the R24/18 BT, kind of a wheat color, & it's great on me! It's worth the money, for sure!!

Lawson Earns Men's Tennis Player of the Week Honors
March 10, 2010
HIGH POINT, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys Philip Lawson (3-2 overall, 0-1 conf.) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas men's tennis Player of the Week during week number four in the 2010 season. Lawson was the only Falcon to have a perfect 2-0 record at both singles and doubles this weekend in a 1-1 team record for the Falcons.
Playing in back-to-back matches at No. 1 doubles and No. 2 singles, starting with Newberry, Lawson scored a 6-2, 7-5 individual win before an 8-4 victory at doubles. A day later at No. 24 nationally ranked Anderson, Lawson scored his first individual conference win in straight-sets 6-4 & 7-5, right after an 8-5 win at doubles. Pfeiffer as a team rolled Newberry 8-1 before falling to Anderson 7-2.
Weather permitting, the mens tennis team will be back in action hosting Mount Olive on Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m.

Les Miles was not about to spend yesterday's post-game press conference talking about how his team came close to losing to a huge underdog or about what went wrong. He wanted to talk about his seniors, the effort his players put forth every game, how much he loves them and how glorious a game it was. He captured it all in one nearly two minute rant that is making the rounds everywhere.
It was classic Les Miles after the team's emotional and exciting win over Ole Miss - and it was not to be missed - (edited for family viewing).

You are right to work for more substantial things in real life that will probably last longer than the things in WoW. But if a player can't be arsed to put enough effort into the game they havent earned the right to anything despite what they pay to play for the game. You wouldnt want a selfplaying Super Mario Bros right? What you're dead wrong in is that the people who look into parses, strategies and similar things are lazy. Its a hobby they take very serious. Most are managing a reallife on top of that very sucessefully.
The only casuals that are ruining it for wow economically is the ones who play for a month or two and then unsub after a few lfr/normal clears until the next tier. There's a shitload of thoose. Blizzard wants people to sub regularly which is why the lfr/normalmode crowd probably brings in the most money since they are the biggest in numbers. It's probably also the reason to why blizzard wants to put out content in a higher pace - to make sure as few people as possible unsub inbetween tiers.

Tierra handmade and high fired terra-cotta floor tiles are of unparallel quality. The durability and strength of our Tierra terracotta tiles greatly depends on high quality raw materials and its firing processes. We have a very strict quality control in the selection and formulation of the clay that embodies these tiles, along with high firing.
Our Tierra Terracotta tiles are fired at temperatures ranging from 1180 to 1200 degrees centigrade, approximately 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Only high quality raw materials, and careful formulation can withstand such temperatures without cracking or breaking apart in the kiln.
In comparison to Saltillo tiles and mission red tiles, Tierra floor tiles are of superior quality and durability; that is why they are the preferred terra cotta floor tiles by architects, professional builders, and designers. Tierra floor tiles are 100% handcrafted and deliver a stunning and authentic old-world charm with 21st century high quality standards; additionally, they require very little maintenance.
Tierra floor tiles must be sealed in order to preserve their beauty. We recommend the usage of a high quality penetrating sealer such as 511 Impregnator or 511 Porous Plus from Miracle Sealants Company.
511 Porous Plus is a penetrating sealer designed for the protection of the most porous surfaces. 511 Porous Plus forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. 511 Porous Plus is not a surface coating and will not alter the natural look. All surfaces are harder and less slippery. Therefore, 511 Porous Plus is highly recommended for all our Mexican terra-cotta floor tiles.
NOTE: Although Tierra y Fuego maintains high standards of quality control, lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from original orders. This is an intrinsic characteristic in all handcrafted tile
The clay is extracted from mines and consolidated to be transported to the factory.
Once at the factory, the clay is processed in a grinder.
|The clay is worked into a mass.
|And an artisan spreads the Tierra clay with his hands.
To make Tierra floor tiles the clay is placed in individual wooden molds and pressed.
|The Tierra floor tiles are laid in rows ready to be left to dry.
|Artisans add the bullnose edge when needed to the Tierra floor tile.
Once dried, the tiles are put in shelves to be ready to be put into the kiln.
Tierra High Fired floor tiles are cleaned after they are fired, before they are packed to be shipped.
The Tierra tiles are high fired at temperatures ranging from 1180 to 1200 degrees centigrade, approximately 2100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The tiles are tightly packed and ready to be shipped out.
Tierra Floor tiles arrive safely in our San Diego, California distribution center.
How to Order Tile Samples
|You may order samples online or by phone. Sample must be purchased and shipping charges apply. When ordering samples please keep in mind there is no guarantee tile samples will match future orders do to the handmade process.
|Available sizes (all in inches) 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 13x13, 17x17, 4x8, 6x13, 13x13 Octagonal for 4 in. accents, 13x13 Octagonal for 2 in. accents, 8x8 Hexagon, 8x8 Octagonal, 12x7 Diamond, 13x13 cut edge for 4 in. accent,13x13 cut edge for 2 in. accent.
|Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to ¼ in. Sizes are nominal; meaning that sizes vary from the actual.
|Red body bisque, they are flat but still have mild variation on contour. Compare to our Saltillo and Mission Red floor tile, Tierra floor tiles are of superior quality and durability. Tierra floor tile are fired at temperatures ranging from 1180 to 1200 degrees centigrade. Tierra floor tile is considered high resistant with a very dense body and are almost non-absorbent.
|Tile Thickness
|Tierra floor tile has a ½ in. thickness. Larger and smaller tiles vary in thickness accordingly.
|Suitable for all interiors and exteriors of residential and commercial applications. Floors and wall applications, such as showers, fountains, backsplash, countertops, stairs, and pool areas. We recommend applying a penetrating sealer which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Tierra floor tile can be used in exterior environments on which there are extreme weather conditions, with temperatures below 0º C.
|Recommended Grout Width
|¼ in. grout line suggested. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer.
|Recommended Grout Type
|Use sanded grout. We recommend to seal tiles and grout lines with a high penetrating sealer.
|Color, Size and Design Variation
|Slight variations in color and shape are expected for all Tierra floor tiles. All Tierra floor tiles will vary in color ranging from natural earth tones of reds and oranges. This color variation depends on the clay and the placement in the kiln at the time of firing.
|Customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase.
|Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders.
|Installation Recommendations
|Tierra y Fuego strongly recommends consulting an experienced licensed contractor for the installation of Tierra floor tiles. Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size and color variation, we recommend to shuffle thru several boxes before installation. The application of a penetrating sealer is recommended in accordance with the sealer manufacturer's instructions to further enhance the durability of the tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface.
|Care Recommendations
|For routine maintenance immediately clean any spills. Damp mop floor tile with a neutral PH cleanser, and water, as needed. Never use abrasive cleaners, acids or bleaches.
|Quantities, other than samples, will be shipped via a freight company. We will contact you via e-mail or telephone with an accurate shipping cost.
|Since Tierra Floor is high fire, has a stronger body, better resistance to stains, and lower porosity it is an excellent choice for your building or remodeling project.
|How Much Extra Tile to Order
|Industry standard recommends adding on 5-10% additional tile to the tile needed to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. This is particularly important in complex installations. Specially with diagonal patterns.

JON CARDINELLI writes a marked improvement at the gain line and in their kicking game allowed the Springboks to bounce back in the second half and ultimately steal another win in Dublin.
JP Pietersen couldn't have picked a less opportune moment to impede.
The Boks were trailing by nine points with just over 10 minutes remaining in the first half. All the momentum was with the Irish at that instant, and had the hosts managed to cash in during that period of numerical advantage, the Boks may not have been able to recover in the second stanza.
But recover they did. First they survived the period of sanction without conceding a single point. Then they punished the hosts when Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip was sin-binned to the tune of 10 points, a purple patch of scoring that allowed them to take the lead as well as the initiative.
These were game-shaping moments, and the Boks played them best.
The question is how? How exactly did the Boks hit back? And how does the success of the second half put the nightmare of the first into perspective?
The Boks battled to get into the game during the first half. Their kicking game was off point and their physicality at the gain line was woefully below par.
For whatever reason, they opted to counter-attack on several occasions from deep within their own territory. They also called for complicated set-piece moves despite the fact that they were fielding an inexperienced backline combination.
These are decisions that played into the hands of a depleted, yet well-prepared, Ireland unit.
The Irish have been playing under the new 'crouch-touch-set' scrum calls since the beginning of the European season, and this showed as they enjoyed success at the scrums during the early stages.
They also displayed a greater appreciation for Englishman Wayne Barnes' refereeing style at the breakdown.
The hosts had all the forward momentum in the first half, and because the South Africans kicked poorly out of hand, Ireland were dominating the forward exchanges from inside the Boks' territory.
To sum it up, the Boks were putting themselves under pressure during that period, and the Irish were building on that.
But the lack of class and experience within this Ireland side was patent if you consider that they didn't make the Boks pay when Pietersen was sidelined. They also struggled for answers when the Boks went back to a more traditional approach in the second half.
Captain Jean de Villiers should be commended for backing his lineout early in the second period. On three occasions, he turned down a shot at goal, preferring to build some pressure from the lineout and push for a try.
This set piece proved a source of great go-forward for the Boks. The rolling maul was nigh-on unstoppable, and created some point-scoring opportunities as a crucial juncture in the game.
The Boks also tightened up around the park, building through the phases and then showing more precision in terms of their kicking game. They pressured the Irish with some accurate, high-hanging kicks, and managed to win the ball back on several occasions.
Francois Louw was a standout in what was a disappointing first half, and led the breakdown charge once again in the second stanza. The Boks affected some important turnovers in this area, and all-in-all their defence at the rucks was nothing short of outstanding during the final 40 minutes.
So what does it all mean? The Boks must stick to their strengths.
They cannot hope to beat heavyweight teams without first dominating the forward exchanges and then winning the battle for territory.
If they attempt to run every ball from deep within their half, they are going to place themselves under pressure; they are going to give the opposition point-scoring chances.
In the first half, their approach was too high risk and there was no reward. On the contrary, the Boks high-risk approach backfired badly.
The second half was more controlled, clinical, and disciplined. That has to be the norm from hereon in.
Once the platform has been laid, then there will be opportunities to try something out of the box in terms of attack. But not before.
The Boks won in Dublin on Saturday, but hopefully they've learned their lesson.

I feel like a princess in my princess shaped ring. I keep staring at my hand to make sure that I am not dreaming. I always thought that a ring was not so important to me; I was never one of those girly girls who cared so much about a perfect ring or a perfect wedding. But Mark knows me so well, maybe better than I know my self. He gave me a strong, powerful, gorgeous 1 carat diamond ring. There is nothing conventional about it - it is sleek and modern, which is how I see myself, and I think how Mark sees me too. Also, even though the band is really thick, it is actually surprisingly comfortable.

5 stars! I fell in love with this contemporary, bold design as soon as I saw it. It took me a while to decide on the gold as opposed to the platinum. Although gold is not as traditional, I'm glad I chose it. It looks beautiful on me and everyone asks me where I got it. Thank you James Allen!

A striking, modern ring. I am very pleased with the cut and clarity of the diamond. I bought my mother earrings from JamesAllen last year, so I knew that the company was reputable and offered quality products. Five stars for JamesAllen. Thanks for the beautiful jewelry.

Dog Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Dog Acute Myeloid Leukemia
You've heard the term Dog Leukemia, but do you really know what it means? In dogs, something called acute lymphoid is something that can develop very rapidly. Dogs may appear stressed out and even anxious, have a swelling of the lymph nodes, show a Dog Loss of Appetite, experience spontaneous bleeding, Dog Fever, Dog Anemia, Dog Difficulty Breathing and panting, pica (eating dirt, rocks, and other "non-food" items), experience lameness in limbs, or suffer from a lack of coordination. Acute lymphoid leukemia usually occurs in senior dogs, as opposed to how it usually occurs in humans, where children are its biggest target.
Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Rapid diagnosis is imperative for proper treatment and managing of the disease, if not its complete cure, just as with most instances of Dog Cancer. Therefore, if you have a dog and he or she exhibits any of these symptoms (especially if your dog is older), see your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Acute myeloid leukemia as it occurs in dogs is part of something called myeloproliferative diseases, which originate in bone marrow. With this condition, cells called multipotent cells ("parents" to all types of blood cells) grow very rapidly, but maturation is impaired, as is function; this means that blood cell components don't mature normally, leading to problems, including destruction of other tissues.
The condition is quite rare in dogs, and does not discriminate between breeds. With acute myeloid leukemia, cells grow out of control, and cells as a result are less mature than non-cancerous cells and poorly differentiated.
The onset of acute myeloid leukemia is sudden, and it's a much more aggressive cancer than is chronic myeloid leukemia. The resulting overproduction of immature cells can ultimately affect every organ in the body, including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, heart, kidneys, tonsils and the central nervous system. Symptoms usually first include anemia and a low white blood cell count, particularly in neutrophils. In addition, thrombocytopenia, low platelets, may also be seen. As a result of these disorders, hemorrhaging and infection can occur.
Treatment therapies for chronic myeloid leukemia
Therapies for dogs with chronic myeloid leukemia include cytoreductive chemotherapy, using a drug like an interesting, anthracycline, prednisone, and cytosine arabinoside; cyclophosphamide, vincristine, cytosine arabinoside and prednisone are also used as maintenance therapies (also known as COAP).
With this treatment, bone marrow suppression is significant, such that thrombocytopenia and anemia may result. Transfusions of plasma or whole blood may be required to treat the prophesied opinion and anemia. Infection, too, may become a significant problem, such that aggressive in the attic therapy may be required. Because the disease is so invasive, palliative supportive care is also necessary. Prognosis for acute myeloid leukemia is "guarded" for dogs that acquire this disease, although treatment can certainly make dogs more comfortable and in some cases may prolong life.
