One of the most versatile and influential artists of Northern Europe in the seventeenth century, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) had a remarkable ability to bring his paintings intensely and joyfully alive. He was a successful businessman who ran an efficient studio, and was also a classical scholar, an enthusiastic collector of art and antiquities, and a respected diplomat on intimate terms with European royalty. Contemporaries admired his extraordinary artistic versatility. His paintings include portraits, altarpieces, allegories and landscapes; he also designed tapestries, book illustrations, silverware and his own home.In this lively and original study, Kristin Lohse Belkin shows that there is more to Rubens than the Rubenesque nude. She explores his techniques and workshop practices, the role of women in his life and art, and his engagement with contemporary issues of Church and state. She unravels the allegorical and iconographic content of key works, situating them within their original settings. Drawing on his extensive correspondence, she traces his involvement in the events of his time and charts his relationship with members of his circle.

The irony of a divorce-court judge getting divorced herself is not lost on Vanessa Colton-Kirk. After all, she's seen everything in her notorious Houston courtroom, where she's presided over the breakup of countless unhappy and disillusioned couples. Even her own sister, Dionne, is dealing with a relationship drama of her own, a betrayal that's left Dionne hungry for revenge on the man she hoped to marry. But when career-driven Vanessa chooses to work late on the night of her fifth wedding anniversary, her husband, Thomas, decides he's had enough of her putting work before starting the family he so desperately wants -- and he tells her he wants out. In a last-ditch effort to save the marriage, their own judge orders Vanessa and Thomas to attend a spiritual retreat. She goes -- but not without a fight. And just when she thinks she's won, fate steps in and helps her see things in a whole new light. Now Vanessa and her sister face the toughest choices of their lives. Can Dionne untangle herself from a payback plan gone horribly wrong? Can Vanessa rebuild a bond that she had a big part in destroying? Will she learn from her own mistakes and her years of experience on the bench? Or will she need something else to keep a tide of bitterness from taking over her life?

What do you want to be when you grow up? A fireman? A nurse? A teacher? Little Dickie's answer was unusual....

Adequan I.A., 6 Vials (1 mL each) Adequan IA, 1 ml Vial - 6 Pack is injected intra-articularly to treat joint dysfunction and lameness of the carpal joints in horses. Adequan contains glycosaminoglycans to provide joint pain relief. ADEQUAN I.A. Joint Pain Relief for Horses Luitpold (Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan) (PSGAG) Solution 250 mg/mL For intra-articular (I.A.) use in horses DESCRIPTION Each milliliter of Adequan contains 250 mg of Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan and Water for Injection q.s. Sodium Hydroxide and/or Hydrochloric Acid added when necessary to adjust pH. PHARMACOLOGY Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan is chemically similar to the mucopolysaccharides of cartilaginous tissue. It is a potent proteolytic enzyme inhibitor and diminishes or reverses the processes which result in the loss of cartilaginous mucopolysaccharides. PSGAG improves joint function by stimulating synovial membrane activity, reducing synovial protein levels and increasing synovial fluid viscosity in traumatized equine carpal joints. TOXICITY Toxicity studies were conducted in horses. Doses as high as 1,250 mg were administered intracarpally to 6 horses once a week for 18 weeks. This dosage is 5 times the recommended dosage and 3.6 times the recommended therapeutic regimen. Clinical observations revealed soreness and swelling in 1.8% (2 of 109 animals) at the injection site which was mild, self limiting and lasted less than one day. There was a dose related evaluation on partial thromboplastin time, creatinine and glucose. No animal had any clinical illness during the trial and none showed clinical evidence of toxicity except transient swelling at the injection site, possibly due to mechanical invasion of the joint. INDICATIONS Adequan is recommended for the treatment of non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction and associated lameness of the carpal joint in horses. CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not use in horses showing hypersensitivity to Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan. Do not administer Adequan in the face of joint sepsis. WARNING Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dose of Adequan in horses is 250 mg (1 vial) once a week for five weeks, intra-articularly. The joint area must be shaved, cleansed and sterilized as in a surgical procedure prior to injection. Do not mix Adequan with other drugs or solvents. ADVERSE REACTIONS Two major categories of adverse reactions have been reported following the intra-articular administration of Adequan: 1. Inflammatory joint reactions consisting of joint pain, effusion, and swelling with associated lameness. 2. Septic arthritis. Less frequently, nonseptic arthritis, hemathrosis, and cellulitis at the injection site and surrounding tissues have been reported. PRECAUTIONS Adequan is indicated for use only in the carpal joint of horses. Do not mix Adequan with other drugs or solvents. Reaction in the joint may occasionally occur within 48 hours after intra-articular treatment. If the reaction involves excessive inflammation, cease therapy with Adequan. Post-injection inflammation may result from possible sensitivity to Adequan; traumatic injection technique; exceeding the recommended dose, frequency of administration or number of Adequan injections; and from combining Adequan with other drugs. Excessive joint inflammation may be manifested by rapid onset, tenderness, swelling and warmth over the injection carpus. Inflammatory joint reactions may successfully be treated by systemic anti-inflammatory drugs, cold hydrotherapy and rest. Serious reactions of this type may indicate the presence of joint sepsis. Joint sepsis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of the intra-articular injection. It usually results from the deposition of skin organisms into the joint space by the needle tip. Gustafson et al., (1989) have demonstrated that Adequan may
