Depression Glass Trivia
Depression glass facts make for interesting conversation,especially when you're at a convention or talking amongstother Depression glass aficionados. So here are a few itemsto get you started so you, too, can have some meaningfulknowledge to put on the plate when you and your Depressionglass collector friends gather ?round and chat.English Hobnail leads the pack as the design with around the most available pieces still out there for collectors.Westmoreland Glass Company produced the English Hobnailpattern from the late 1920s to the 1980s, with theDepression-era pieces made in eight different colors. Intotal, 175 pieces of this particular design were created.Rose Cameo, conversely, holds the record for the leastnumber of pieces available in a pattern. The BelmontTumbler Company held the patent for Rose Cameo, and onlysix pieces of this design made it to the marketplace: aplate, a footed sherbet, a footed tumbler, a berry bowl,and a 5-inch and 6-inch bowl. Because Belmont manufacturedonly tumblers and was trying to recover from a massivefire, experts speculate the actual production of this raredesign happened at the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, only afew miles away.
A six-piece set of tumblers ? the patternwas only made in green ? in mint condition can be had forbetween $150 and $175 (prices may have changed since I wrotethis).The Jeanette Glass Company breaks all records for coming upwith the most patterns. Jeanette made 11 patterns ofDepression glass between 1928 and 1946: Sunburst, Homespun,Swirl, Doric and Pansy, Windsor, Sunflower, Doric, Adam,Sierra, Floral, and Cherry Blossom.And then at the other end of the spectrum, the Fenton GlassCompany produced only a single pattern of Depression glass? the Lincoln Inn.Of the 200+ patterns of Depression glass created, footedsalt and pepper shakers from Hocking's Mayfair designdemand some of the very highest prices. Don't flinchwhen (or if) you have a close encounter with one: They gofor more than $9,000, which makes them 1 of the most expensiveitems of all Depression glass patterns at the time of writing this article.Hazel-Atlas produced the Aurora pattern in beautiful cobaltblue for one year only ? from 1937 to 1938.Jeanette and Federal glass companies manufactured the twomost reproduced patterns, Cherry Blossom and Madrid.Jeanette produced 43 pieces of the Cherry Blossom designfrom 1930 to 1939 in five colors. Federal's Madrid outputnumbered 45 pieces in five colors from 1932 to 1939. Thepopularity of these designs, of course, made reproductionsimpossible to avoid, but also makes the originalDepression-era versions that much harder to detect.This article, perhaps, may inspire you to dig deeper andfind out even more about the Depression glass productswe've all come to love.

Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic (also called cardiovascular exercise) exercise requires continuous, smooth, rhythmic movements that strengthen your heart and lungs. This type of movement works large muscle groups and causes you to breathe more deeply.
This forces your heart to work harder to pump blood and emits carbon dioxide and other waste products. It also causes your body to burn a higher percentage of calories from fat.
Participating in aerobic exercises can be fun because there are so many choices available. Some examples of aerobic exercises are:
*Walking
*Aerobic dance
*Swimming
*Bicycling (inside-stationary bike)
*Ice, Roller or In-line skating
*Cross-country skiing
*Running or Jogging
*Water aerobics
*Stair-climbing
*Elliptical training
*Rowing
If you are hesitant to start an exercise...

Home For The Holidays: Happy Times, Right
This time of the year is supposed to be happy. A time when family is warm and welcoming.
A time for loving and feeling loved. We watch the annual TV specials which emotionally choke us up. We watch those traditional, mushy movies like Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life which bring sentimental tears to our eyes.
We watch those heartwrenching Hallmark commercials which make us sob dramatically. All of these portray the ideal and they always end happily.
But real life isn't like that.Watching and listening to all the hype and sweetness reminds many of us of our losses. We think of the things we won't have this year, or any year ever again. The holiday season is actually the season of much depression and sadness.
Just imagine for a moment how many losses a person of 70, 80 or 90 may have endured. To help us understand those losses, here is a partial list.

Obesity in America
Obesity in America has been blamed on many different things; increased technology such as video games is one, as well as more fast food restaurants. However I do not believe that these are the only causes of such a large amount of obesity within the USA.The cause that gets mostly overlooked is the portrayal of men and women in society. Not video games or more fast food restaurants, but the way women and men are portrayed by the media, movies and television shows over the past decade.There are a few exceptions such as "The Parkers" or "Rosanne" but for the most part there is not an obese person on television who is in touch with the youth.When you walk outside and see a billboard of a sexy model in lingerie or turn on the television and see another underweight woman or go to the movies yet again to see a woman with large breasts and a small waist has to be a large contributor.Young men and women are forced to look like these models. The ones who can't do it end up getting depressed, which...

The rose is perhaps one of the most powerful symbols in the metaphysical world. It is also one of the most accessible tools that can be used for everyday magic. The gift of a rose is also one of the simplest ways to say, "I love you" without too much hocus-pocus. The thorns on its stems represent the "prick" of love and the overcoming of obstacles to achieve your desires. It is the pinnacle of metaphorical purity and symbolizes completion and perfection.The element associated with the rose is Water, so it is particularly friendly to the astrological signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
Both Mercury and Venus rule this flower. A bath in rose petals or rose water (which is distilled from the buds) is said to attract love to the bathing beauty. An ancient custom is to sprinkle the bed of newly weds with rose petals to sweeten the initial carnal relations.
