Miloslav Vlk (born 17 May 1932) is the head of the Czech Catholic Church, the archbishop of Prague, and was considered a papabile (i.e. a possible candidate for a new Pope) to succeed John Paul II.
Early life
Vlk was born in the hamlet of Líšnice, part of Sepekov parish, in the Písek District of Southern Bohemia. He spent his childhood in Záluží near Chyšky, where he attended elementary school and experienced the hard labour of farm work.
At the age of 11, he first started thinking about the priesthood. This initial idea of a priestly vocation came to him because he felt particularly challenged by a poster hanging in his parish church that continued to attract his attention. The poster said: 'Wouldn't you like to become a priest?'. That goal seemed unattainable at the time, so he dreamed of becoming an aircraft pilot.
On 20 June 1952 he passed his final examination at Secondary School in České Budějovice, Southern Bohemia. In those years of Communist persecution theological studies were impossible, so from 1952 to 1953 he worked at the Motor Union automobile factory in České Budějovice and from 1953 to 1955 did military service in Karlovy Vary.
Despite the political situation, after being discharged he was able to study archival science at the Arts Faculty of the Charles University in Prague and received his degree in 1960. He worked in various archives in Southern Bohemia: at the Regional Archives of Třeboň in Jindřichův Hradec, and from December 1960 to 1964 at the Civic and District Archives of České Budějovice, where he served as director.
In this same period he published a series of articles in various scientific reviews. In 1964 he left this work in order to study at the Theology Faculty of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Litoměřice (1964-1968).
On 23 June 1968, during the 'Prague Spring', he was ordained a priest at the age of 36 and was immediately appointed secretary to Bishop Josef Hlouch of České Budějovice (1968-1971).
The state authorities, worried about his influence and pastoral activity, forced him in 1971 to leave České Budějovice and sent him to the parishes of Lažiště and Záblatí, isolated on the mountains of the Bohemian Forest in the Prachatice district. From 1 November 1972 he was parish priest in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem and at the same time in Bohutín and Drahenice, in the Příbram district. There in 1978, the state authorities, in collaboration with the local communists, revoked his state authorization to exercise his priestly ministry.
Citizen Vlk was thus forced to live underground in Prague from October 1978 to 31 December 1988.
From 1978 to 1986 he worked as a window-cleaner in downtown Prague. In this period he secretly carried out his pastoral activity with small groups of lay people. From 1986 to 1988 he was able to work in the district archives of the Czechoslovak State Bank in Prague.
On 1 January 1989, at the start of the 'turning point', he was permitted to exercise the priestly ministry for a 'trial' year. He became parish priest at Žihobce and Bukovník in the Klatovy region of Western Bohemia. Subsequently, on 1 September 1989, he began to work as a curate on the Bavarian (German) border: at Čachrov, Javorná, Železná Ruda, Běšiny and Stráž na Šumavě.
With the so-called 'Velvet Revolution', the history of worker Miloslav Vlk suddenly changed. On 14 February 1990 Pope John Paul II appointed him Bishop of České Budějovice and he received episcopal ordination on 31 March 1990 from Bishop Antonín Liška.
After a year at this post, on 27 March 1991 Pope John Paul II appointed Bishop Vlk as the Archbishop of Prague, successor to the late Cardinal František Tomášek. The official installation took place on 1 June 1991. He was then created and proclaimed Cardinal by Pope John Paul II in the Consistory of 26 November 1994, becoming the Cardinal Priest of the Titulus S. Crucis in Hierusalem.

In 1992 he was elected President of the Czech Episcopal Conference; a role that he held until 2001. From 16 April 1993 until 31 May 2001 Archbishop Vlk was President of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences (CCEE), as the successor to Carlo Maria Martini, Archbishop of Milan, Italy. Special Secretary of the 1st Special Assembly for Europe of the Synod of Bishops (1991); and has taken part in the 9th General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (1994) and in the 2nd Special Assembly for Europe (1999).
Between 1992 and 1993 he received three honorary degrees: one each from Illinois Benedictine College and the University of St. Thomas in the U.S., and a doctorate in theology from the Faculty of Passau. In addition to these academic awards he has also received various honorary citizenships.
Vlk was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2005 papal conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI.
Curial membership:
- Oriental Churches (congregation)
- Social Communications (council)
- Special Council for Europe of the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops
It was announced in May 2007 after Cardinal Vlk sent his retirement letter to the Pope that he is requested to stay in his position until 2009.
Church properties in the Czech Republic
Vlk has fought a decade-long, and still unsuccessful, battle to work out a new legal framework for the Catholic church in the Czech Republic, which would include resolution of some $6 billion in church property confiscated under the Communists and never returned. That includes almost a million acres of forest which formed the church's traditional economic base. [1]
Far right movements
Vlk has been sharply critical of the rise of far-right and xenophobic sentiment in Central Europe, joining Jewish protests in 2007 when right-wingers planned a march through Prague's Jewish quarter on the anniversary of Kristallnacht. [2]
Relationship with Traditionalists
In 2006, Vlk criticized a group of Lefebvrite Catholics who staged a conference in Prague, accusing them of sympathies for "anti-Semitism and neo-Nazism." Local organizers fired back that Vlk showed "ill will to socially ostracize Catholics who point to the negative consequences of liberalization processes in the church."[3]
Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia
On the 41st anniversary of the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, Cardinal Vlk called for the ban of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia, which is currently the third most popular political party in the Czech Republic according to opinion polls.[4]

I've been testing spiceworks for a while and decided to set one up at home to track my personal inventory and IT services. Everything is working well, except for email. The email configuration details work fine when setting up a mail client like Thunderbird, however on spiceworks it complains about it being timed out while trying to contact the server.
I also use the same mail server to test spiceworks at the office (my personal mail server on a dedicated server), with all the same settings (except it's a different mailbox account), so I know it's working and that I'm configuring it right.
That leads me to believe it's something at home which is blocking it. My home setup is SW on a win XP SP3 box, windows firewall disabled, and the anti-virus is passive so it doesn't have any effect on running applications. The machine is behind a Linksys router, which might be related but I don't know how spiceworks operates at the network level so I have no idea if it needs the smtp port (or any other ports) to be forwarded or not, currently it is not.
I really just need spiceworks to yell at me when an IT service such as domain or web hosting needs to be renewed.

Also try checking your AV on that box. Disable it and have it test the email settings. Report back!
Other option might be router, like you said - but I'm leaning toward a local issue on the box.

Who is your ISP?
I was shocked to learn (after years of no-problem use) that my ISP (Roger's) actually blocks port 25 exchanges with the outside world. I subsequently found out that many large ISP block all kinds of things both inbound and outbound.
Only reason I found out was testing a new server for a client and configuring it's email services.
If it is a port block there are many ways around however...
Just for clarification WHERE is the E-Mail server located please?

I myself have been finding that out as well. I do not have this issue but on a few customers of mine I have seen this.
Aug 9, 2010 at 8:43 UTC
Yep, its a pretty common practice these days, however quite a few ISP's that do this will offer some sort of SMTP server that you can use as a replacement.
Aug 9, 2010 at 8:45 UTC
Re: provider blocking -
Oh - so in these cases, the provider is blocking port 25 access on servers other than their own, correct?
Could you not set up Spiceworks to send mail to or through the provider's mail server?
Aug 9, 2010 at 8:48 UTC
My ISP is Bell Canada. The mail server is located on a dedicated server in a datacenter in Chicago.
The AV is 100% passive, all it does is scan files or the system on demand.
Now that you mention it, it's quite possible that my ISP is blocking port 25, however I thought SW just acted as a client to the mailserver, and not as an actual server itself? The behavior of SW when it comes to mail is basically a fancy version of a mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird. (I can use the mail server just fine via Thunderbird).
I've never used their SMTP server but I'll give it a shot when I get home. Will update this after I try that out. Thanks.
Aug 9, 2010 at 8:59 UTC
Do you have an existing mail client on that system or network that is accessing a mail server that sits outside of your provider that you are accessing via port 25? Long question - sorry. :) If so, then I would also wonder why SW couldn't access the server when your other mail clients could. If not, then this would be a good path to pursue.
Aug 9, 2010 at 9:07 UTC
On the same network I used to access the same mail server via Thundebird a few months ago but switched to webmail. Back then it worked fine. I'll try with a mail client again tonight before trying my ISPs smtp server on SW.
Aug 9, 2010 at 9:46 UTC
Technical Magic Corporation is an IT service provider.
The default setting in SpiceWorks is port 25 - it might just be that you have to change that port to say port 587 and check off use Authenticated connection.
Port 25 is blocked for me at my home (Roger's) but port 587 authorized connections work just fine.

Yep - that's where we were going with this if port 25 wouldn't work!
Aug 9, 2010 at 7:19 UTC
Well it's not my ISP blocking. I can use a mail client (thunderbird) perfectly fine on port 25 for the smtp server.
I've also forwarded port 25 on the router and it didn't help.
The exact error is "Error on outgoing settings: Timed out trying to reach ******.net on port 25. Please check your settings. Please note that SMTP via proxy is not supported."
And I am not using a proxy.
Also killed my AV just to be 100% sure.
I also tried port 587 on my mail client, works. On SW it does not, same error.
Aug 10, 2010 at 6:35 UTC
I've now tried everything except using my ISPs smtp server and ssh tunneling. Both of which are too much trouble - to use my ISPs smtp server I must use an account they give me, I wouldn't be able to have it use my own email domain.
I could also change the smtp port on my server which would then cause problems for the 50 or so others who I let use it so that isn't an option.
I'll just give up on using SW at home and create my own php+mysql solution to tracking my IT services, at least until a proper ISP pops up.
Aug 11, 2010 at 7:16 UTC
Technical Magic Corporation is an IT service provider.
Very strange but I feel like I do not have all the details to make a full recommendation.
You could, btw, based on your last post, run SpiceWorks elsewhere and just use the home install as a remote collector.
Then your home/office(?) becomes just a site into a larger inventory pool.
My SpiceWorks is installed about 3000 miles away from me (at RackSpace) and I have numerous remote collectors at various sites populating it and I get notifications from the one central source.
SpiceWorks release 5 is supposed to be even better at this particular type of model.
That seems like far less work than rolling your own....
My $0.02 :)
Aug 11, 2010 at 10:18 UTC
I'll look into something like rackspace however I already have my own dedicated server, only thing is that it is CentOS, so no spiceworks there. My only reason for using SW at home was to track things like web hosting and domain names I manage for myself and clients. No monitoring or inventorying of any kind, so I'll probably be better off with making my own solution for that, just wanted an easy fix after seeing SW's potential while testing it at work.

Broccoli-Spinach Soup with Avocado Toasts
No cream required: Tahini gives this soup its buttery flavor and silky texture -- and makes a serving of dark leafy greens unusually enticing. Avocado toasts round out the meal.
- Servings: 4
Photography: Christopher Baker
Source: Whole Living, March 2012
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 leek, white and pale green parts thinly sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock or water
- 1 bunch broccoli, chopped (6 cups)
- 6 ounces baby spinach (6 cups)
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices rustic bread, toasted
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1/4 cup radish sprouts
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leek and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add stock; bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cook, covered, until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in spinach, Parmesan, and tahini. Let cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth.
Top bread with avocado and radish sprouts. Season with salt and pepper, squeeze with lemon, and drizzle with oil.

Kendra Galante23 MAR, 2013Great recipe. Super simple, vibrant color and flavor. I added a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg at the end. Next time I'll try a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne to change it up.Reply
ALR5999744DW29 DEC, 2012I've made this soup like ten times now and it's fantastic. Never bothered with the toast. It's soooo rich and creamy and virtually calorie free, not to mention packed with nutrients. Even my 2-year-old loves it. Thanks!Reply
Katnppr14 APR, 2012This soup was delicious! I want to make it again and again! The color was so appealing and the aroma was wonderful! I didn't know that Tahini is simply Sesame Butter. What a lovely flavor to add to these vegetables! The Parmesan is a perfect touch!Reply
denab091511 APR, 2012LOVED this soup! So warm & creamy on a cool day! I didn't have tahini, so I added half an avocado during the puree process. Delicious!Reply
thepurpleonion3 APR, 2012Made this and it turned out exactly like the picture - a beautiful and delicious meal. Couldn't find tahini at the market so toasted sesame seeds and ground up in food processor with a little olive oil until it made paste. Found beautiful rustic bread at the market and the toast was a perfect accompaniment to the soup. Will make this again for simple weeknight dinners and for weekend lunch guests.Reply

This is where we do what I love.....Find the value of X. After watching last week's episode of Impact, a few things were very glaring to me.
1. Several top stars on the roster are now talking about their contracts. Kurt Angle reveals that his is up in August; Sting's is up within the next month or so; Jeff Hardy's contract allegedly has come up in the past week or two; and others have come up on news sites the web over.
2. Jeff Jarrett HAD been teasing news about his new venture, but now he has to "wait until a few things finalize" before making the reveal. With the next LIVE Impact broadcast being in a few short days, doesn't that seem a bit odd?
3. James Storm, in an interview just last week called the loss of Jarrett "the worst thing that could happen to TNA right now." Think back to the return of Devon. in the weeks before, Hulk Hogan called the "loss" of Devon one of the biggest losses TNA suffered at the time, but a few short weeks later, here he comes as the first member revealed of the Aces and Eights.
4. AJ Styles has indy dates and ROH appearances set all the way until April....All the way up until 2012, Lockdown was ALWAYS in April. Coincidence? Perhaps, but with negotiations being ongoing, there's really no way to tell....
5. Genesis has now been announced to take place over 2 straight weeks; January 16 and the 23rd. Strange? I think so. Considering this has never been done before by TNA, this year marks a FEW new things, so I'm finding.
6. Concerning the footage of the aftermath shown on YouTube: AJ is shown greeting fans and signing items at ringside near the ramp before leaving the Impact Zone.....what about the farewell speech? That footage of AJ Styles giving a emotional farewell is conveniently absent from the official channel. Simple critical thinking would respond that it was just to cover up that there are ongoing negotiations to renew his contract, but even so, that doesn't COMPLETELY rule out the possibility that this whole ordeal is a ruse to guard the potential for a new investor to come in and hail the return of the founder, Jeff Jarrett.
7. Since absolutely NO details are known with certainty about the negotiations between Jeff Jarrett, Toby Keith, and TNA's top officials, it seems premature to label the reports on the many news outlets as anything more than rumor. That said, the "rumor" was that the top potential buyer wanted COMPLETE control of the company; 100 percent....the whole thing. If the whole story is to be known, we might as well reveal ALL of it, right?
8. Dixie Carter called together some of the executive staff in Nashville to discuss the future moving forward. When asked about the Jeff Jarrett situation, Carter called it a "business decision" and did not elaborate. Weird?
As many as 4 years ago, the Carter family began sending feelers out to potential buyers for the TNA brand, but it was only to relieve the financial burden TNA has been on the money bags of Panda Energy. Now, there were conditions to these "feelers".
a. Any buyers could not have ties to the McMahons, thus creating an even more complete monopoly in the mainstream wrestling marketplace.
b. Any offers to buy the entire thing would be denied. The Carters, as half hearted as they were with the Hulk Hogan/ Bischoff regime from day one, still want to make a profit from as many avenues as possible. SO, IF TNA was able to turn a large profit one day, they don't want to be cut out from that kind of profit, especially since they've invested so much to get the project off the ground to begin with.
A number of potential buyers came around TNA headquarters, whose names have been kept a carefully guarded secret. The most recent news was that Toby Keith was one of the perspective buyers, provided that he was able to make purchase at a decent price, but beyond that......nothing. It was speculated that if Keith made purchase, Jarrett would come as a part of the deal as a full time consultant or manager.
So what is this all about? What is the value of X? One thing Eric Bischoff brought to the table as a member of the team was valuable information concerning how to throw the mainstream viewing public off the trail of secrets. Think about this: a couple of weeks back, the Feast or Fired cases were opened on camera. In the original cut, Ethan Carter had pulled the Fired case, but when it was aired on TV, Chavo was given the boot. With Jeff Hardy's absence explained on the UK tour this year, it's still not known whether or not he'll make his return after. With Sting still slated to travel along with the crew on the tour, it will be up to him to keep the storyline concerning Magnus moving.

This is part 1 of Fantendo Fusion: Lost Heroes.
Chapter 3 (Squav)
I'm a hungry squavacado, okay? Although I'm still 17, my appetite matches that of a growing 13 year old. So when I saw the buffet of a breakfast on the table, I dug in. Pancakes and waffles, yum! Sure, White almost always burns the food, but he cooks it with his Boomstick, what would you expect? Oh, yeah, you guys don't know what that is. Well, his Boomstick is a staff that can shoot fire, I believe.
During breakfast, I heard a knock on the door. "I got it" said Scratch. With that, he walked out of the kitchen, leaving me, Unten, Data and White. By the time there were only three pancakes left, Scratch came back holding a newspaper with a picture of a fairground on it.
"What you got there?" asked Data. Scratch explained that an abandoned fairground mysteriously appeared on the outskirts of Fan City. "Should we check it out? What do you guys think?" he asked, excited. "I'm up for it" I replied and the others agreed. We finished the remaining pancakes and set out to find the abandoned fair.

Tom Fletcher shocked by wife's tummy remark
Tom Fletcher's "jaw dropped" when a fan made a cruel remark about his wife Giovanna's "mummy tummy".
The 31-year-old writer, who gave birth to her second son Buddy 12 days ago, has admitted her husband was appalled when a woman commented on her post-baby body and laughed in her face after she stopped them in the street to ask for a photograph with the McFly singer earlier this week.
When asked what Tom thought about the remark, Giovanna said: "His jaw dropped. I just think neither of us could really believe that it was being said and I know that afterwards he kind of came back home and spoke to his mum and dad about it, so he was sharing it with more people than I was!"
Despite taking to her Facebook account yesterday (03.03.16) to comment on the cruel joke, the brunette beauty - who also has two-year-old son Buzz with Tom - has admitted the remark didn't bother her because she's proud of how her body has made and given birth to two beautiful children.
Speaking on 'This Morning' today (04.02.16), she said: "The fact my body has grown two children is just phenomenal."
Meanwhile, although Giovanna has had a rough week, it hasn't all been bad as the talented author was crowned this year's Celebrity Mum by icelolly.com after fighting off stiff competition from the likes of Adele, 'TOWIE' sister Sam and Billie Faiers, Coleen Rooney and Katie Price.
Giovanna said of her win: "I feel really flattered to have been voted icelolly.com Celebrity Mum of the Year 2016. I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted and give a supportive cheer to all the other mums out there plodding their way through the highs and lows of motherhood."

October 2016: Top 10 Reasons to Join Us and Why You Want to be There
Intern Highlight: Nikkie Belindar Singh
Hello, my name is Nikkie. I am a third year student at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a San Francisco native. Sustainability in all its different forms has been an interest of mine since I can remember, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to learn more about Fair Trade Los Angeles (FTLA). Soon after UCLA became a Fair Trade University(!!!), I joined FTLA's campaign that aims to make Los Angeles the largest Fair Trade city in the United States. My primary responsibility is to build relationships with local businesses in order to spread awareness about Fair Trade and recognize those businesses selling Fair Trade Certified products. If a business sells at least two Fair Trade Certified products, we recognize them as part of the LA Fair Trade Town Campaign on the Fair Trade Campaigns website. Benefits from that include free networking and advertising. Look for your favorite businesses and organizations to see if they are participating yet at our campaign website: www.FairTradeCamaigns.org/los-angeles-ca.
Before I started outreach, I was nervous that the information I was trying to convey would not be well-received. I wanted to do justice for FTLA, so I practiced my spiel on family and friends for days before I went out to retail locations. Despite my nerves, every person I spoke to seemed genuinely interested in Fair Trade and it felt so good to be able to spread awareness about it. I also very much enjoyed connecting with my local community about such an important message. I have been pleasantly surprised by how kind people can be. Some people are very well informed about Fair Trade and I have been able to introduce them to our organization and invite them to our meetings. Sometimes, people know nearly nothing about Fair Trade, which gives me the opportunity to educate my community about it and FTLA.
I began by visiting smaller businesses and was able to connect with owners of the stores or people very involved and knowledgeable about purchasing for the store. The larger stores seemed daunting, but I found that, even at huge chains such as Whole Foods, everyone was very friendly and approachable.
Another highlight of doing outreach has been getting to know brands that support Fair Trade. One of my favorite is Alter Eco, a brand of chocolate I found at EarthBar. The Alter Eco dark salted burnt caramel chocolate bar is something I was drawn to for several reasons. First, I love dark chocolate and I think salted caramel is probably the best flavor on the planet! But mostly, I love the brand. Alter Eco also sells chocolate, sugar, quinoa, and rice, all of which are Fair Trade certified. On their website, they describe their relationship with their farmers as well as the brand's focus on sustainability as a whole, which is something about which I am really passionate. On the Alter Eco website, you can click on their products and meet the farmers behind the products! The brand is so sustainably aware, which I think is really inspiring.
All in all, working with FTLA has been very meaningful to me. Every time I get to explain what Fair Trade is and what FTLA does, it reminds me how important the cause is and how my time can make an impact on a city as large as Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Fair Trade Town campaign is recognizing businesses and organizations within the city of LA that support Fair Trade. If your organization serves or would like to serve a Fair Trade Certified product at meetings, in the office, or at events, let us know! If your business sells or would like to sell at least 2 Fair Trade Certified products, let us know! The campaign can recognize your commitment by listing the organization or business here. You will be connected to consumers and other businesses who support Fair Trade through this free advertising and networking opportunity. Help make Los Angeles a Fair Trade Town!

Member Highlight: Rachel Winokur of Rachel Winokur Interiors
A little bit about myself:
Much of my childhood in New England was spent enjoying the outdoors and that included living on a sailboat when I was about 8 for 2 ½ years. Also, I was named after Rachel Carson (my middle name is Carson) who was an environmentalist and wrote books like the well known Silent Spring. So at an early age, I developed an appreciation and respect for nature. However, it wasn't until much later that I was aware of other important aspects of sustainability and that includes fair trade.
How did I hear about fair trade?
Given my strong relationship to the environment, I focused my business, which started in 2007, on sustainable design. However, I didn't realize at first that to be truly sustainable, it must include being socially responsible.
When did I first get involved with fair trade?
I think my first exposure to fair trade in terms of the Interior Design industry (where very few were discussing this topic at the time) was about 7 years ago when I discovered a GoodWeave rug for a hotel spa client. GoodWeave label on a rug certifies that no child was involved in making it. With about 250,000 children making rugs in South Asia, it's helpful to know which rugs are not. That spa rug not only looks beautiful but my client and I were able to make a difference in the lives of others through its purchase. It just seems so simple to me that if you're already going to buy a rug, why not buy one that you know didn't harm the environment or the people involved in making it and that won't harm the customer who buys it (by being non-toxic).
A little bit about Rachel Winokur Interiors.
Rachel Winokur Interiors is a small Interior Design firm based in LA which I started in 2007. I've grown it to serve clients between Boston, LA, Shanghai and Saudi Arabia. I provide my residential and hospitality clients solutions that not only look stunning but are also sustainable which includes being eco-friendly, ethical, non-toxic and durable.
What do I enjoy most about working in fair trade?
I absolutely love being part of the fair trade movement. I find it extremely empowering that I get to choose how to spend my purchasing dollars and that it could literally save a life! Plus, it is an honor to share that opportunity with my clients and teach them solutions and share sources to help them accomplish that.
What is unique about fair trade products?
Fair trade design products tend to be unique because they are handmade and many are made throughout the world which means distinctive materials with centuries old techniques as well as innovative processes. They are made with heart and soul. Also, fair trade products allow the consumer to have a direct relationship with the artisan and the result is a respect for the product as well as enhanced joy in having that product in their home.
What action items can you take when shopping for home decor?
My recommendation is to ask a lot of questions when purchasing any item, décor related or not. In addition, there are wonderful resources to help guide you to fair trade products like Sustainable Furnishings Council. Even large brands like West Elm offer fabulous fair trade options. Plus, look for labels like GoodWeave, Fair Trade Certified (from Fair Trade USA) and Fair Trade America.
Member Highlight: Mike Farid, BGREEN and Nature USA
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am originally from Iran but my Dad made a huge sacrifice to leave a successful life and garment business behind to give me and my siblings an opportunity for a better life in the US in the mid-80s. I actually went to high school in Germany but soon joined my family back in the States once I graduated. My Dad started a small knitting business which after many, many years of hard work, turned into what we have today with Nature USA. I've always loved to create things and growing up on the factory floor gave me priceless hours of hands-on experience in manufacturing apparel. Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone with a product I've helped create that is actually useful to them. That's what gets me out of bed in the morning….that and my beautiful wife and son.
How did you hear about Fair Trade?
I've always believed quality products can only be produced by happy, engaged workers. For years we searched for a way to reinforce and get recognition for all the good work we do for our employees, our community and our environment. I began hearing about Fair Trade products (coffee, chocolate, etc.) and was very interested to see if I could find a way for our manufacturing to be part of such a great mission. However, apparel manufacturing wasn't even included as an option to be Fair Trade Certified (FTC) until about 5 years ago. I ended up approaching Fair Trade USA to let them know I was interested in becoming certified, and they let me know there were actually no FTC factories in the United States. So I quickly told them I would love to be considered to become the first. Because there were no Fair Trade standards in place for apparel manufacturing in the US, it took a year and a half for us to work through the process. I'm very proud of the fact that we did succeed in becoming America's First FTC Factory in March of 2015.
When did you first get involved with Fair Trade?
About 2.5 years ago, I started down the road to getting certified.
Tell us about Nature USA and/or BGREEN.
Nature USA is our private label business and BGREEN our own brand.
What do you enjoy the most about working in Fair Trade?
I enjoy the fact that our workers have the opportunity to earn extra income and that excites and encourages them. To be able to get a few thousand extra dollars a year, as a blue-collar worker, it really can be a major difference in their quality of life. I am thrilled that my partnership with Fair Trade USA gives me the ability to actually make a difference in their day-to-day lives.
What is unique about Fair Trade products?
The Fair Trade Certified™ label on every BGREEN product signifies that rigorous social, environmental and economic standards have been met in our factory and that our workers earn financial premiums with every sale to support sustainable livelihoods for their families and communities.
What action items can our readers take when they shop for clothes?
There are SO many it would take me two hours to get them all out here. However, I think the most important thing your readers should know is that they have a LOT of power over what products they buy and how these products are made. You can greatly influence what happens in the marketplace by choosing to spend your dollars in an intentional and socially/environmentally conscious way.
Fair Trade Fashion Show Los Angeles
Photos by: Isabel Szkiba
Post by: Kristeen Singh
The second annual Fair Trade Fashion Show held on July 16, in downtown Los Angeles was a hit. Hosted by Fair Trade LA members Sica Schmitz (Founder of online ethical boutique Bead & Reel) and Katie Bond (Founder of sustainable Fair Trade nonprofit The Peace Exchange), this year's fundraiser benefited the women of The Peace Exchange's non-profit sewing centers in the Congo.
Sica indicated that "over 80 percent of global garment workers are women, so when we talk about workers being exploited, what we're really saying is that women are being exploited. When I say that this collection is Fair Trade, what it really means is that women are paid fair wages."
The event started with some delicious Fair Trade food and beverages. Items offered included local craft beer from Angel City Brewery, organic wine from Stellar Winery, and food from Golden Mean Café and Sol Natural Goods Macaccino. Fair Trade LA had an informational table at the event and we spoke with many enthusiastic people about Fair Trade LA's work as well as the campaign to make Los Angeles a Fair Trade Town.
The program began with a wonderful welcome by Lisette Mibo, award-winning model, activist and Founder of Passion for Motherland.
The awardee was introduced by UnReal actress Breeda Wool who is soon to be featured in HBO's Vice Principals. This year's recipient was Andrew Morgan, Director of the groundbreaking documentary The True Cost. The film pulls back the curtain on the untold story of how clothing is made and the people who make it. Andrew enthusiastically accepted his award over Skype and asked guests to consider the human and environmental costs of our clothing.
Next began the panel discussion which included Sam Bills, Executive Manager of Ten Thousand Villages, Elisabeth B. Kadesi, CEO for We are the Voice, Dr. Hope Ferdowsi, Doctor, Writer, and advocate in preventive medicine and public health, Paul Freedman Director of Merci Congo, Elizabeth L. Cline, author of Overdressed, and Nina Francisco, Global Ambassador for EBW2020. Lisette lead the inspiring discussion on the importance of Fair Trade and its empowerment of women and their families, as well as for those who wear Fair Trade fashion.
Sica said "tonight's show features over 15 fair trade brands that span the globe from India to Peru to Malawi, showing a side of fashion that empowers women in 3 different ways." Check out some of favorites from the fashion show below! Visit the Bead & Reel website to purchase or learn more!
Garment Worker's Center Fashion Show!
First things first, I just want to say how blessed I am to be writing this blog. My name is Michaela and I'm originally from the Bay Area. I hear you all cheering for me because I heard that some of you are from there too! As for why I'm part of Fair Trade LA (FTLA). I am an intern who has one more semester at Chico State ("Go Wildcats!!") and who has a blog of my own! In fact, I blog at www.instantgratitude.club and you can follow me on Instagram @instant3655 & Facebook. I love learning about Fair Trade and after doing a presentation in the Stop Trafficking of Persons (S.T.O.P.) Club at my school, I knew I needed to get involved, so, if you aren't already motivated by my story, I hope the blog of the Garment Worker Center's Fashion Show will inspire you!
At first, I thought this was a strike to raise awareness of sweatshops. I was going to bring a sign, but I'm glad I didn't. I went in and it was a medium sized white room. It was originally a house, and I liked that because it brought me comfort and showed how this event got so much local coverage, but is making history in the books! There was art all around and it was great seeing local artists presented through their amazing painting talents. It brought color to the white house. While I was there, I got a chance to meet Michele, Coordinator of our LA Fair Trade Town Campaign, Katie Bond, member and Founder of The Peace Exchange and who's in charge of the FTLA Instagram (do check out those pics and follow us @fairtradela and like the pics from this event), and Pam Michell, member of FTLA and survivor of domestic trafficking. I also met Kristeen Singh, FTLA member and Founder of Fair Trade Project rHope, as well as Laurel Averill, FTLA's merchandise and pop-up shop gal! She also has her own Fair Trade company called Vida Verde.
This event was held at the historical Tropico de Nopal Gallery and just so you all know, there are only three paid staff at the Garment Worker Center and the rest are awesome volunteers! I was able to help find a place inside the gallery for the beautiful gift baskets donated by FTLA members for the silent auction. We helped raise over $300 for the Garment Worker Center!
We heard from Blanca, the guest speaker. She was in the TV show East Los High! I watched that growing up, and it is very old school. It was an amazing show of culture and how much passion and work people behind the scenes put in to make this event happen. Slavery still exists behind the doors of sweatshops and in this fashion show a number of the models wore clothes protesting sweatshop conditions. There were many people who made their clothes and had fabrics brought in from all around the world, which was nice to show appreciation to the many types of cultures and styles of clothing.
Blanca spoke on the second shift syndrome and how important it is to recognize self-care and focus on you and then others. Women work hard enough, and need more people to just give them the time, attention, and care, to lighten their burden. We need to discuss realistic ways people can try to create better relationships in their world today. Fashion is a perfect example of this burden on workers, especially women. People care about what's the best and most trendy, or "in" fashion. The media just makes this worse and this can be seen with how popular this or that top is based on the latest Kardashian wearing the most recent of all the Top Shop dresses, yuck. It's hard to be a woman and a worker and raise families, and this goes for men too. Gender has been talked about a lot too these days and it's very interesting to see where this goes from here. Blanca shared a Bulgarian poem about an immigrant and she translated this into Spanish. At the end of the poem, she shared how she couldn't even teach her kids how to make tortillas. She never went to school, but always put others first. Unfortunately, Spanish for tasks that they needed her for like laundry, food, chores, etc. It was sad, but made me realize that in this world if we don't fight, how are we going to make changes? I remember Kimi was a woman on the Garment Worker Center team and her Mom made $100 dresses but was paid $1 for the work she did. This is why she got into the work. It was great celebrating someone who has done so much for the Garment Worker Center and it was cool seeing all the work she had done in addition to seeing her casual Fair Trade clothing style! In addition to her and many of the other attendees, there were many Mata Traders dresses and clothing so unique and beautiful from all over the world. The women wore outfits that fit each of their unique style.
I felt like I was a red carpet interviewee when I talked to the models. Most of them were family members and they made their clothes or FTLA or other companies donated them. I will point out my favorites in the pictures that I post below. Check out the signs that these amazing people made for this historical event: #activism everyday fight on the streets to make this happen (not sure what this means). My goal with my involvement in the Fair Trade Movement is that people are educated about this. I hope that people that make clothes get paid fairly like the Garment Worker Center fights for. I also wanted to pay respect to Orlando and let you all have a time for silence for those family and friends mourning for lives that should never have been lost. Whether you are or are not religious, God bless them. Also for the deaths in the black community and the movement of Black Lives Matter, Jesse Williams says, "We know that police somehow manage to de-escalate, disarm, and not kill white people every day." I just wanted to pray for them during this time, because all lives matter and that's why we are trying to bring awareness through the work the Garment Worker Center does to bring awareness that there are still slaves in the world doing sweatshop labor!
Without a doubt the food, band, and event were so authentic and historical. I wish I stayed longer not only because there were cute band members, but it would have been fun to dance!
We as FTLA all sat together and it was a nice table in a beautiful venue. I was shocked with how they fit as many people as they did there, but they did an amazing job! The little ones were so happy too and shy, but it was cute seeing them getting their makeup done and all.
This event was completely translated in and out from Spanish to English and some Spanglish in-between! The gallery had items in it from local artists about fair trade (not sure what this means) and it was so beautiful to see. I wish I could've bid on some items. They also had a timeline, a must see! The gallery takes no more than 15-20 mins to go through, everyone should go!
They spoke about those receiving awards, and please see the pics for these awards at the end. There was a woman, Nora Phillips, who came for the part of the show called Call of Action! She was a woman who was an immigrant fighter, survivor of domestic violence fighter, refugee fighter and attorney and has her own Tijuana Nonprofit too. She was awesome and made her own cape that said, "Show me the money!" She's a human rights activist and helps with the LGTBI movement. You have got to see this pic. For a great laugh, she handed out spiced oil and pickles since she was originally from Wisconsin, it was a great time with her!
"They are doing this for fairness and for the people and for their people to feel alive!" And that's why I want to continue writing and bringing art to this type of work!
With all the peace, love, and happiness,

I chose this photo because I thought the colour variation between the grass stem and the brown dirt. I chose to put the grass strip on the rule of thirds.
I edited this photo using an effect called 'sun beams'. I chose to put the edit on because I think it makes the grass stem stand out more and it makes the dirt look more alive even though its not alive.
I thought this picture looked cool, because I used the rule of thirds.
When I edited this photo I first put an effect on it and then I put a fire streak through the bottom of it. The fire streak makes it look more bright and nice to look at.
I took this photo because I liked how the leaf had holes in it like it had been eaten by a caterpillar. It gives it a unique look.
Personally this is my favourite edit. I put a nature border on and used some text to write 'nature'. This is my favourite edit because i think the black border and the white text go together well with the green grass.
this photo is of a centipede. I thought it was pretty.
I edited this photo using a vintage effect, making the sides darker. I also blurred out the surroundings so that the focus is on the centipede.
I used just a simple 4 square collage and made the edges a bit round and made the photos spaced out.

Hi. My name is Moxy. I'm probably part Maine Coon but it's hard to tell. Being from a feral/wild cat colony with so many cats around, it's hard to tell who my kin are! But I sure look like a Maine Coon and I have a sweet personality.
I'm still a little shy but that's because I never had a human of my own when I was little. But my foster mom is giving me lots of love. (Moxy's beautiful fur was full of knots and she was tick infested when we found her. She sure deserves so much better.)
I've come a long way since I was first rescued. I'm still very shy but I love to be around people--but I don't quite know how to approach them. But I follow them everywhere.
My foster mom refers to me as the 'kitten whisperer'. Every foster cat that comes into my house instantly forms a bond with me; we love to snuggle together. In fact, I love every cat I meet and they love me--mom has never seen me hiss at another kitty. Everyone loves me.
I need some time and a special patient person to bring me out of my shell. I can't wait to snuggle with my new friend!

Unable to save formAsked by BraxtonWV on May 05, 2015 at 10:08 AM
The form I have been working on for two days has not saved nearly any of my changes and now appears to be spinning it's wheels.... How can I assure that my work will not be lost?
JotForm Support
You said that you are working with the form for 2 days right? When you took a break or stop working on the form, do you just leave it or do you save it using the save button? Do you also log out from your JotForm account when you stop working.
The possible reasons why would this happen are the following:
1. Form builder is open on multiple tabs/ windows or multiple browsers. The form builder has an auto-save function. So avoid opening the form builder on multiple tabs/ windows.
2. You got disconnected from the network or have an intermittent network problem.
3. The user is not logged in to their JotForm account or probably got logged out.
Please take note that these are only possible reasons. You can use the Form Revision tool to revert back the changes you made. Also, please try to clear your browser cache.
Let us know if you're still having issues with saving the form.

My boyfriend recently went to this friend's house party. she got really drunk and he sent her messages saying she was sweet when she was drunk and it was great to side that other side of her. She has a boyfriend, i'm not worried about her, i'm more concerned about my boyfriend's reply. Especially when i've been dating him for over 3 years now.
I only saw a message from her and i was curious. They were talking for 2 years yet i only knew of her just recently. Am i wrong to think there is anything in his reply to her? I personally would think a guy friend fancies me if he sent me a text saying that.
Should i be worried?

Francis Scott Key Monument
The Key Monument on Eutaw Place is a grand reminder of how Baltimoreans have kept the memory of the Battle of Baltimore and the War of 1812 alive over 200 years. Francis Scott Key was a Maryland lawyer who was on board the British vessel HMS Tonnant during the evening of September 13-14, 1814, as part of a delegation to try to negotiate the release of prisoners. Key was stuck on board the British vessel to helplessly watch as the British Navy shelled Fort McHenry and Baltimore throughout the night.
At dawn, Key saw the Stars and Stripes still flying over the fort. That morning, the unsuccessful British allowed Key to return to shore, and on the return trip he wrote a poem describing his experience the night before. The poem was quickly published in two Baltimore papers on September 20, 1814, and days later the owner of a Baltimore music store, Thomas Carr of the Carr Music Store, put the words and music together in print under the title "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Before his death in 1907, Baltimore resident Charles Marburg gave $25,000 to his brother Theodore to commission a monument to his favorite poet, Francis Scott Key. Theodore selected French sculptor Marius Jean Antonin Mercie known for monumental sculptures of Robert E. Lee (1890) in Richmond, Virginia, and General Lafayette (1891) in the District of Columbia. The Key Monument was added to Eutaw Place in 1911.

All right, well, here I am. I'm going to write about one of my favorite champs, cuz I can't think of anything else to write about right now. So, read on, if you wish, about... Mordekaiser!
A while ago, I used to play a tanky Morde; sunfires, FoN, rylai's, etc., and that worked well enough for a while. Before they "fixed" the frozen mallet bug with his ghost, the greatest satisfaction in a game came from watching a CC'ing ghost beat down a fleeing champ and scoring me a kill, or dropping ignite + CotG and watching them go into the fog of war, just to see them reappear as a ghost moments later. My most memorable game as Mordekaiser was 29/5 K/D, killing 22 times before my first death, using the tanky build I mentioned before.
Now, just a few days ago, while the internet at my college decided to be a dick and leave me disconnected for a good portion of a game, there was a Morde on the other team running an "Invinci-Kaiser" build, which I had kinda sorta heard of before, but hadn't really looked into. At his recommendation, I looked into it and tried it in a game.
My mind was blown. Seriously, what the hell? I was pulling crazy shit all over the place. How do people not play this more? In just the first game playing that, I could easily hold the attention of 3, 4, or even all of the enemy champs without dying, long enough for my friend to skyfall in as Pantheon and finish them off, since I would typically wear them all down to below half health.
While fighting off four members of the enemy team just outside of their mid inhibitor, my friend was yelling at me to get back over skype, and hovered over me to see if I was dying.
"Dude, get out of there, they're gunning for you!"
"Dude, what the hell? How are you doing that?"
"Screw this, SKYFALLING!!!"
BOOM, we mop up, push inhibitor, and the other two inhibitors, win.
My second most memorable game, definitely. And similar scenarios have happened since. Seriously, this is one of the most ridiculous thing I have seen yet. Against teams that are lacking in stuns and disables, this is what I like to call a "railstorm." So, if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it, look it up on Leaguecraft today!

The impact of dietary calcium on body weight and fat mass

Studies demonstrate that increased intakes of calcium are associated with weight loss, which is specific to loss of fat mass. The purpose of this study was to determine if long term increases in dairy calcium consumption alter body weight and fat mass in young, healthy women. In this one year dairy calcium intervention, 135 young, healthy women with dietary calcium intakes <800 mg/day, caloric intakes ≤2200 kcal/day and willing to consume dairy products were randomized to one of three groups: (1) control: continue established dietary intakes (n = 42); (2) medium dairy: increase calcium intake to approximately 1000 mg/day (n = 45); and (3) high dairy: increase calcium intake to approximately 1200 mg/day (n = 48). The main outcome measures were the year changes in body weight and fat mass. Mean calcium intakes were 742.4 ± 321.5, 1026.4 ± 311.3, and 1131.29 ± 337.2 mg/day during the intervention for the control, medium dairy, and high dairy groups (P < 0.0001), respectively. There was no significant difference between the control, medium dairy, and high dairy groups in the mean one year change in weight: 0.8 ± 2.8, 0.7 ± 3.0, 1.5 ± 4.1 kg, respectively (P = 0.45) or fat mass: −0.5 ± 2.5, 0.3 ± 2.7, 0.5 ± 3.5 kg, respectively (P = 0.26). Therefore, a diet rich in dairy products does not alter body weight or fat mass in young, healthy women over one year. In addition, increased intakes of calcium are proposed to increase lipid utilization, leading to fat mass loss. To determine if increased dairy calcium alters lipid oxidation in the women enrolled in this study, a subset from the control (n = 13) and intervention groups (n = 13) were given an isocaloric liquid meal (55% energy carbohydrate, 15% protein, 30% fat) at baseline and one year. The thermic effect of feeding after each standardized meal was measured by respiratory gas exchange. The mean one year change in lipid oxidation was higher in the intervention group (0.10 g/min) versus the control group (R 2 = 0.56, P = 0.0002). Taken together, these results suggest that a high calcium diet leads to favorable metabolic changes, which do not translate into a measurable weight loss in young, healthy women. ^

Wedding Keepsake Quilt - Part II (aka Total Quilt Redemption)
I used scraps to make my binding, and since I put such great pains into rounding the corners of all of my wedding stationary, I gave my quilt rounded corners, too.
It is, hands down, the best quilt I've ever made. The corners match up and everything! (I'm a little ashamed by how wrinkled it is in these pictures, but I like to wash my quilts when they're done.)
11 comments:
That looks great!! I can't even imagine how you managed the quilting. Amazing!ReplyDelete
I love it!! It turned out beautifully. This is really making me want to buy some AMH fabric now..ReplyDelete
Mandy- this is so beautiful! I love it. My mother quilts and I really wish I had inherited her sewing skills- you've inspired me to try sometime very soon to learn!ReplyDelete
Thanks, guys! You should try it. I personally don't think it's a skill, per se...unless you consider patience and attention to detail a skill (which is plausible).ReplyDelete
This is fabulous! Good grief you finished that fast. I am currently working on my first quilt ever for Jude. I just hope I finish before he's in high school!ReplyDelete
I love the binding, even though their scraps it looks totally planned. Koodos for doing something I just don't have the patience for!ReplyDelete

Your quilt is stunning! What a lovely way to keep all those beautiful fabrics a part of your everyday life!ReplyDelete

ITHACA, N.Y. – The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team wrapped up its season on Saturday night with a 3-2 (17-25, 25-15, 18-25, 25-19, 15-9) win over Cornell at Newman Arena. The Quakers finish the year with a 13-13 overall record and a 7-7 mark in the Ivy League.
In the Quakers' first five-setter since September 6, Penn answered back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to win the final set, 15-9. It is Penn's second five-set win of the season.
Seniors Alex Caldwell (11) and Jasmine DeSilva (10) led the way offensively for the Quakers, totaling 21 kills between them. Classmates Alexis Genske and Ronnie Bither were also strong performers, with Genske chipping in 9 kills and Bither racking up 31 assists and 17 digs. Genske also added 13 digs, while Bither put forth five kills.
After dropping the first set, the Quakers jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the second frame. Penn kept its distance throughout the second, and after a pair of Cornell errors, the Quakers led 16-10. Cornell cut the lead to 17-13, but the Red and Blue closed the set on an 8-2 run.
Facing a 2-1 deficit, the Quakers once again leapt out to a lead in the fourth. Freshman Courtney Quinn recorded a kill to put Penn up 7-2. After Cornell came back and tied the score at nine, DeSilva put the Quakers ahead and they never looked back. Genske put in an ace to give the Red and Blue a 19-15 edge. Following back-to-back errors, DeSilva sealed the set with a kill.
Penn kept the momentum rolling in the fifth set, racing out to a 6-2 advantage. DeSilva registered back-to-back kills to put the Quakers up 12-4, and then again to give Penn a 14-6 lead. The match ended on a service error by Cornell.

Hmm, not impressed
My husband went for a lump on the side of his neck. The doctor wanted to demonstrate how to check someone's sinuses so they let an intern run a camera up my husband's nose. They found nothing. However, they did acknowledge that it was to be sure there were no sinus issues. Hmm, what about the lump below his ear? Seemed unwilling to think about the problem or to listen to our background. Seemed more interested in teaching students how to do proceedures. Suggested surgery. Not sure how the tube up nose lead to surgery, but we're not experts. Maybe someone else knows. Sigh.

Worst doctor I've ever seen
I had a horrible experience with Dr Buchmann. He wouldn't listen to the things I told him or my extensive and complicated history. I brought in all the notes I had from the referring physician and Dr Buchmann refused to even look at them. He was very rude and short with us as if it was his goal to spend less than 5 minutes with each patient. Dr Buchmann would tell me something on one visit and then contradict it on the next visit. I asked him about one of these things on a visit and his response was, "I wouldn't have said that," but my wife and I both heard him plainly state it the previous visit.I had a lymph node that was swollen that my Rheumatologist wanted tested for lymphoma. He told me he couldn't even tell if the node was swollen. I had 3 other doctors who could tell that it was swollen and 2 of them weren't even Otolaryngologists. I eventually went to a different Otolaryngologist who removed the lymph node and told me it was roughly 3 times the size it should have been.I ended up waisting 3 months on Dr Buchmann when I was so sick I had to be on disability leave from work. The other Otolaryngologist I saw was able to remove the lymph node and run the tests the referring physician wanted in 2 weeks.Dr Buchmann is the worst doctor I've ever seen and I would highly recommend anyone considering seeing him find a new doctor.

I would highly recomend Dr. Buckmann to anyone. He is very caring and is very concern for your well being. Very knowleable about his profession, and spends the time to answer questions. He always follows up to make sure every thing is doing OK. A very execellent Dr.

Questionable Care
I had surgery and this MD could not explain multiple issues that I had postoperatively......The MD that is following me for additional care was not impressed and strongly suggested that if any additional surgery be done that I not go back to this surgeon.......At first, I did not agree but as time goes on.......I think the advice is wise......
