Inniskillin Icewine, recognized as one of the world's finest specialty wines, is truly a gift from nature to wine lovers. Harvested at the pinnacle of Canada's crisp winter, exceptional grapes are naturally frozen on the vine and hand picked when the temperature drops below –10°C. The removal of ice crystals, separated from the frozen grapes during pressing, concentrates the juice into a delicate nectar that is expertly guided through fermentation to achieve the rich and alluring specialty known as Icewine.
For centuries, Riesling has been a highly regarded grape variety for Icewine. This vintage is characterized by loads of up-front fruit on the nose with a true Riesling flinty, petrol-like background note. Very rich and full on the palate with distinct orange blossom and honey notes.
"Rather varietally distinctive with upfront aromas of flint, petrol and candied apricots followed by a seductive scent of orange blossoms. The lusciousness on your palate of ripe nectarines is complimented by a tingling tangerine acidity that lingers forever. As with all dessert wines, first and foremost, the wine should always be sweeter than the dessert. Also, avoid strong citrus-based desserts. Fruit based strudels, rich cheeses, tarts or apple, pear, peach or apricot desserts pair well."
Austrian-born and monastically educated, Karl J. Kaiser, and native Canadian Donald J.P. Ziraldo, a decendant of a family of winegrowers in Northern Italy, founded Innisklillin Wines on July 31, 1975, obtaining the first winery license granted in the province of Ontario since 1929. Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake at the historic Brae Burn Estate, Inniskillin was founded upon and is...Read More About Inniskillin

After losing to the Chicago Bulls 95-83 on MLK day, a frustrated Kobe Bryant said, "Obviously, this isn't working." Los Angeles Laker head coach, Mike D'Antoni has tried to shake the line-up by starting Earl Clark and sitting Pau Gasol, but that experiment has already caused a lot of internal dissension and external controversy.
The usually quiet Gasol has publicly voiced his displeasure about coming off the bench, since he's been a starter his entire career. However, the twin tower combination thus far has not panned out.
Furthermore, Dwight Howard has been affected by the lack of stability and constant change amongst the Lakers as well. Howard had 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 turnovers as Joakim Noah frustrated both Gasol and Howard the entire night.
After the loss to Chicago, Bryant said, "I've tried to go out of my way to get him (Howard) the ball. Sometimes I end up looking like an idiot, because I get up in the air, I've got a shot, but I try to find him. But he thinks I'm going to shoot, so his back is turned. I'm trying to think about getting him the ball a lot – take care of him as much as I possibly can. It takes me out of rhythm a little bit, but I'm fine with that. If that's going to help our team, I'm more than willing to do that. I've constantly tried to help him out, tried to talk to him. Two o'clock in the morning, three o'clock in the morning. Texting him. Sharing reading materials. Anything to try and help him."
Coach D'Antoni has a history of making players fit into his system rather than adapting his system to the players that he has. So, if D'Antoni wants to keep his job in Los Angeles he is going to have to figure out a way of adapting to his players as much as the players are trying to adapt to him.
Otherwise, D'Antoni is going to follow the footsteps of his fleeting predecessor, Mike Brown.
The Lakers not making the playoffs is not only unacceptable in the city of Los Angeles, but this team – with four Hall of Famers – will go down as one of the most under achieving teams in NBA history.

Emulating the style of a French chateau, this grand Victorian residence, built in 1884, occupies a prime location within Westminster. It's worth staying at the Grade I-listed Royal Horseguards Hotel for its fascinating history alone. Politicians of note have met in the stately rooms at One Whitehall Place, adjacent to the hotel while all of its 281 rooms and suites have been upgraded to 5-star luxury - some with river views.

LEAF International is connecting global youth to THEIR cultural traditions.
Over 530 global youth are currently in LI music programs!
10 Countries • 13 Programs • 19 Teaching artists • 7 Schools
2 Orphanages • 3 Cultural Centers
1035+ youth have participated in LI programs since 2006.
LEAF International empowers youth globally through THEIR cultural musical traditions to enhance self-esteem, educate, and to create skills, connections, and community. LEAF collaborates to create programs with their LOCAL teaching artists, instruments, and costumes. LEAF believes MUSIC & ARTS are powerful tools for children's self-esteem, healing, learning skills, positive development, hope, skills, and creating a healthy happier community. Experiencing art, music and cultures transforms us as individuals and as a global community.
Costa Rica
According to 2013 surveys from many of our programs:
Learning cultural traditions is changing the lives of students and communities.
LEAF International is proud to be a member of:
The International Society for Music Educators and The National Guild for Community Arts Education
(click on the images below for more information about these great organizations)
Our INSPIRATION: A Note from the Director
The LEAF Arts Education Outreach Programs of LEAF International [LI] and LEAF Schools & Streets [LSS] both grew out of seeing a "gap" and a "need." Global Cultures have always been one of my passions. Since I started LEAF, I have learned that music and dance are the most powerful vehicles to keeping culture alive and connecting people. While traveling, I started to dream of a way to be able to connect deeper with the "locals" while "giving back." While in Bequia, I inquired how many kids on the island were learning the local STEEL PAN tradition....only ONE! At the local school, I asked them if I secured instruments and a local teacher would they host a program...of course! LI was on its way. Now over 70 kids on the island have learned how to play pan.
LEAF was one of only two national festivals asked to present to the NEA council in response to their "Outdoor Festival Study." Most organization create one to nine outreach programs annually. LEAF through LI and LSS create 60 annual ARTS EDUCATION programs yearly! LEAF is a small festival with a big vision and outreach. All gifts, donations and earnings are maximized to make a 100% direct positive difference!
The vision for both LSS and LI continues to be: community collaborations, that are low cost, high impact, LOCAL, and sustainable. We are all stronger together, and MUSIC and ARTS helps bring so much positive life to our communities!

Didn't enjoy this one as much as last year due to all the problems.
We had to wait to get on, but not as long as some people we were talking to who had to wait 3 hours or more sat on their coach at Southampton before being allowed to board.
Once we were called to board there was problems with the cruise card machines which was slowing things up this was the same problem getting back off again at Southampton.
Yes there was a problem with the Virus which the Captain only started to make announcements about after a couple of days into the cruise.
People we were talking to said that 400 went down with it on the previous cruise and some were saying that the Virus had been on the ship since January. I think the numbers going down with it on this cruise may have got to half the ship.
We have people we know that are recently back from a Fred Olsen cruise where the virus was on board and the cruise was cut short by 2 days because it was so bad. It is not just Princess that have had this virus.
Because of the virus this caused the Horizon not be self service and in fact food was served to you which slowed things down and had a knock on effect on the other dining rooms as we noticed waiting staff being pulled into the Horizon from the other rooms to help with the serving.
The sea wasn't as kind to us this year particularly when we were supposed to go to Naples and couldn't go in leaving us to sail to Corsica. What a night it was when we left Corsica the sea was rather rough that night and we were glad we had come down a few decks this year and more into the middle. We were on Lido Deck last year and 3 cabins back from the bridge.
I heard a lot of people complaining and trying to compare with other cruise lines and it did make me think why they had come on this cruise if these other lines were so much better and I am not talking about the virus or the problem with the machines here. I am talking about the food and the entertainment etc here.
I think you have to take in what prices you are paying and the type of cruise you are wishing to take.
On the other side I have heard that the food wasn't as good or plentiful on other lines and other lines you may have to be dressed up more.
I personally am content with the food, If I had to criticise then there were occasions where it could of been hotter at times. Dressing up I think they have got it about right but some passengers decided to come into the dining rooms on smart casual nights in Jeans and were let in. Whilst it wouldn't normally bother me I thought this strange that having made some rules that Princess didn't apply them. I saw one boy come in a football strip including shorts and was let in.
Overall we enjoyed our cruise despite the problems, albeit not as much as last year and we are on the Grand in September and hope that all the probems will have been sorted out by then.
It was nice meeting up with the few Cruise Critic members that showed and I wish everybody well what ever cruising and ships you sail on.

The excitement over landing the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft has faded for the Cavaliers
Blog Entry:
June 26, 2013 10:59 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
When I read
this ESPN report
, I thought Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant had lost his mind.
Then a few minutes passed, and the rumored trade offer — the Cavs would send Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters and the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday's draft to Minnesota for Kevin Love — sunk in.
The Cavs would have two All-Stars in Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love under the age of 25.
Love, who led the league in rebounding in 2010-11 and was second in the category in 2011-12, is a two-time All-Star who is much better than Thompson in every facet.
Paired with Irving, the Cavs would need one more All-Star-caliber player for their own Big Three (the key to any championship foundation in the NBA), and they would have plenty of salary cap space to acquire one in free agency this summer or next.
The Timberwolves, alas, reportedly turned down the trade offer —
where is David Kahn when you need him?
— and the Cavs, if you believe the rumors, have now been rebuffed in attempts to acquire Love and Trail Blazers power forward All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge.
That tells us two things:
1. The Cavs know they need to pair Irving with multiple All-Stars, and they're aware they might not have another one on their roster.
2. Despite
acting all wild and crazy when they won the lottery
, the Cavs realize they couldn't have picked a much worse year to own the top overall pick.
ESPN's Andy Katz reported that the Cavs were down to three players for the No. 1 pick — Maryland's Alex Len, Kentucky's Nerlens Noel and either Georgetown's Otto Porter or Kansas' Ben McLemore.
Akron Beacon Journal
's Jason Lloyd
said his sources
insisted the Cavs, as of Tuesday, had not set their draft board.
Consider the top overall draft picks since the Cavs selected LeBron James in 2003: James, Dwight Howard, Andrew Bogut, Andrea Bargnani, Greg Oden, Derrick Rose, Blake Griffin, John Wall, Irving and Anthony Davis.
There were no doubts that James, Howard, Rose, Griffin, Wall, Irving and Davis would be very good.
Oden was expected to be great, too, but injuries ruined that, and Kevin Durant will forever be the Michael Jordan to Oden's Sam Bowie.
The others — Bogut and Bargnani — were the top picks in weak drafts, a description that often is applied to the Class of 2013.
Bogut and Bargnani have never made an All-Star team and have been dogged by injuries the last two seasons (Bogut has played 44 games in that span, and Bargnani has appeared in 66).
Bogut had one big season — 2009-10, when he averaged 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per contest. Bargnani averaged 21.4 points in 2010-11, but he's a 7-footer who makes Chris Bosh look like a monster in the paint (Bargnani's career high is 6.2 rebounds per game).
The Cavs can't afford to take a player the caliber of Bogut or Bargnani first overall, and the thought of Len and Noel — two big men with red flags — makes that seem like a scary possibility.
Maybe they're more aware of that scenario than anyone, which is why we keep seeing the Cavs pop up in almost every rumored draft-night trade.
There's also this: Even in weak drafts, future All-Stars are available. In 2005, Deron Williams and Chris Paul went third and fourth, respectively. In 2006, Aldridge was taken one spot after Bargnani.
If McLemore is this draft's sure thing, the Cavs should take him — regardless of position (like Waiters, he's a shooting guard).
Select the best player, and worry about the implications later.
Do anything but remind us of Andrew Bogut and Andrea Bargnani.
The Heat is on ... Pat Riley
met with the media Tuesday
, and these two comments were particularly interesting:
On staying with the Heat past the summer of 2014:
"This is what we came here for, so that would be the ultimate. But you can never ... I don't know, life changes, things happen, and we have to be prepared for that. But this is what we all want to be here for, that's to be able to compete for a championship each and every year. And if we can do that, then it'd be awesome."
On opting out of his contract next year and exploring free agency:
"I've been in this position before. I've heard it before. It can't get any worse than my season before I became a free agent in 2010."
LeBron has learned his lesson from The Decision, but he remains a true pro when it comes to putting all the pressure on the organization to make sure he's happy and the supporting cast is up to his standards.
Brownie bits
Let's hope he's being honest:
already questioned
the Browns' strange choice of Armonty Bryant in the seventh round of the 2013 draft.
Bryant was arrested in college for selling marijuana — on campus, on back-to-back days — then was in hot water again, this time
for allegedly driving drunk
less than a week after he was selected by the Browns.
But Bryant's
interview with reporters Tuesday
at the NFL rookie symposium in Berea was compelling.
Bryant was open about his problems, and his statement that the team's top pick — Barkevious Mingo — has been helping him off the field was encouraging, and even heart-warming for the most cynical among us.
The investigation is flying right to the top:
it's not looking good for Jimmy Haslam
As more former Pilot Flying J executives plead guilty in the rebate scam, and more agree to cooperate with the government's investigation (the list is up to five), the more we wait for the final hammer to drop — on the owner of the Browns.

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped dates

New York
Date to be announced for 2015!
New World Stages
Generate conferences are brought to you by net magazine and Creative Bloq. After a great inaugural event, we're launching Generate New York and returning to London in 2014.
A source of inspiration, education and networking opportunities, this year Generate will be packed with more top content from world-class speakers.
"Team is back at Empire HQ now - Amazing and insightful time had by all at #generateconf #neverstoplearning #lookoutsideyourbox"
We Are Empire @ Twitter
London 2013 KeynoteDuration: 29 minutesRecorded: 13 Sep 2013Keynote
Bio: Oliver Reichenstein studied philosophy in Basel and Paris, he started working as interactive brand consultant for Interbrand Zintzmeyer & Lux.
He moved to Japan in September 2003 and started iA Inc in 2005. iA has offices in Zurich and Tokyo. It has set new standards in interaction design with clients like DIE ZEIT, Tages-Anzeiger and Freitag and its best selling text editor called iA Writer.
The New Era of JavaScriptDuration: 28 minutesRecorded: 13 Sep 2013We're seeing more and more of the processing on sites being moved to the client site and done with JavaScript. In this talk we'll look at some approaches, libraries and frameworks for solving issues and even if we should be doing it at all. When is it a good idea to shift from server to client, and when should we stick to the traditional approach of all the heavy processing and work being done on the server?
Beyond Progressive EnhancementDuration: 35 minutesRecorded: 13 Sep 2013The time is 2020. The inflection point has long passed. Most web traffic is now coming from some manner of portable device. And if Google Chairman Eric Schmidt (and many others') predictions have come true, we will have truly reached time where "... will just be seamless. It will just be there. The web will be everything, and it will be nothing. It will be like electricity."

Variety key to Quad City Air Show
``There is no other event in the Quad-Cities that attracts more numbers,'' he said. ``We don't even count the number of people with lawn chairs in their driveways.''
It also would be fairly impossible to count all those folks the planes fly over.
``I like to say we are the largest family event,'' Mr. Hopper said. ``We have people from 1 day old to 100 years old, and we try to cater to them.''
The air show features World War II planes and a kids space to keep all ranges entertained. However, most people come to see the air events, and the Quad City Air Show delivers a high-quality three- to four-hour performance.
To keep professionalism high, Mr. Hopper only looks seriously to the top 12 air performers in the country. Two of those returning favorites were the late Leo Loudenslager and his Bud Light Laser 200 show, and Jimmy Franklin's WACO Mystery Ship.
It is important the performers have 10 to 15 years of experience so they really understand safety, Mr. Hopper said. In the 38 years the Federal Aviation Administration has monitored U.S. air shows, a spectator has never been hurt, he said.
The Quad City Air Show has been lucky enough to host the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds since 1989. In that second year, the Blue Angels made their first appearance, and the number of spectators grew from 34,000 the year before to 100,000.
The two top-notch military performers get up to 900 requests internationally to appear. Each chooses only 30.
Is it luck the Quad-Cities is graced with their presence, or is it Ken Hopper?
Mr. Hopper has worked closely with the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds since the 1970s. In fact, he is a godfather to more than one of the fliers' children.
``When I pick up the phone to talk to them, they talk to me,'' Mr. Hopper said. ``I see them 20 to 30 times a year. My goal is to be in front of their faces.'' He travels to see their practice and season shows and knows he won't be forgotten.
Besides, why not the Quad-Cities, he asks. Having traveled or done air shows all around the world, including Belgium and Korea, Mr. Hopper said, ``I think the Quad-Cities is a fantastic place to live.''
As far as variety goes, Mr. Hopper is careful to choose acts that look different from one another. Most viewers can't pick out slight differences, he said.
That is why Quad City Air Show-goers will see anything from parachute and hot-air balloon teams, F-14s, F-16s, a Air Force Boeing B-52 Bomber, Rockwell B-1, and a Lockhead F-117 Stealth Fighter.
Each year, pure fascination will bring people back.
``Most people will never achieve flight,'' Mr. Hopper said. ``I think that is what makes it fascinating.''
Anymore, in big airports, people don't even see the plane they are flying on, Mr. Hopper said. A person walks down the ramp and could just as easily be getting on a train, he said.
At the Quad City Air Show, people see it all.

From WENN.com
The British hunk reprises his role as 007 in the upcoming 23rd installment, while Harris plays special agent Eve.
The actress spent weeks learning to fire guns before filming began, but she admits the shoot was less than perfect at times - and Craig often stepped up to help shoulder the responsibility.
She tells InStyle magazine, ""It was all quite nerve-wracking, but he was very reassuring. It was great to have someone be like, 'We're just going to do this together, it's going to be OK, and if you don't get it right, we'll do it again.'
""Sometimes I'd mess up and he'd say things like, 'No, it was me' and take the blame.""

Gross! That shrimp bound pesto thing should have a disclaimer, "don't try this at home!". 20 minutes or less, how about shrimp cocktail? Or shrimp on a skewer?
The review of David Burke's Primehouse made me laugh. "Machismo down to the Studs." Too funny.
why do they wait until after the biggest holiday party weekend of the year to print this? seriously.

New Teen Clinic Opens at Forest Area Schools
Kalkaska Memorial Health Center expands teen services
Kalkaska Memorial Health Center's Teen Health Corner recently expanded into a second clinic at Forest Area Schools.
Since 2006, students in the school district have been eligible to use the Teen Health Corner clinic located at Kalkaska. Operations for the new center will be funded with a grant and in-kind matching funds from the school district and hospital.
Kalkaska Memorial Health Center Chief Operating Officer Sheila Atwood said the new clinic will be open three days a week and the hospital has hired physician assistant Sara Smith, P.A.-C, to provide health services along with nurse Joanna Durfee, R.N.
"It's a great convenience for families in the Forest Area school district," she said. "The biggest component is promoting health education and wellness to young people ages 10 through 21."
As with the clinic in Kalkaska, the new facility is designed to make teens feel comfortable. There are no sterile paper gowns and sheets. Fleece blankets, cloth gowns, and fluffy pillows comfort teens that might be uncomfortable with any procedure they are about to undergo.
Students are treated for age-appropriate health services that include primary care for illness, preventative services, immunizations, physicals, health education, and referrals for specialty care. A mental health counselor will be available during clinic hours two days a week. Advantages to families include convenient scheduling and walk-in appointments.
The clinic is located in a red portable building next to the high school/middle school. Clinic hours are Mondays 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.; Tuesdays, 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.; and Thursdays from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
"Our students now have access to health care right here by our building" said John Smith, superintendent of Forest Area Schools. He said prior to working with the clinic in Kalkaska, the district had no school nurse. Now the on-campus clinic will make immunizations and other health care services much more convenient.
"Students also will have health counseling services through the Teen Health Corner," he said.
While the Teen Health Corner clinics are primarily offered to students age 10 - 21 at Kalkaska and Forest Area schools, home schooled and charter school students are encouraged to use the clinics as well.
Operational grants for the clinics come through the Michigan Department of Community Health. There are 58 state-funded, school-based, and school-linked health centers in Michigan.
For more information about the Teen Health Corner clinics, or to make an appointment, call (231) 369-2000 at Forest Area Schools, and (231) 258-7791 in Kalkaska.

3 Huge Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Now shares are testing that $7.75 resistance level in today's session. A breakout above that price level signals this stock as a buy. When it happens, keep a tight stop in place.
Nearest Resistance: $11
Nearest Support: $9.50
Catalyst: T-Mobile Merger Drama
>>5 Trades Getting Ready to PopSignificant trading activity is getting sparked in shares of MetroPCS (PCS) this week after some public drama has unfolded over the small-cap cell phone carrier's planned merger with T-Mobile. Despite winning regulatory approval to join forces, independent advisors and some shareholder groups are recommending against the combination that's spotlighted some of the significant value in PCS' share price. One of the more vocal shareholders has been John Paulson, PCS' largest shareholder, who has characterized the deal terms as unfair to MetroPCS shareholders. With shares sitting just below resistance at $11, this is one merger name that could see some unexpected upside in the near-term. Gilead Sciences Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $44
Catalyst: Patent Win Biopharmaceutical firm Gilead Sciences (GILD) is seeing continuation in trading today after a patent win against Idenix Pharmaceuticals ( IDIX) gave the firm the upper hand in the early stages of a fight over a hepatitis C drug. The news has sent shares of GILD pushing through to new highs this week, a bullish condition in and of itself. >>5 Stocks Ready to Break Out Making new highs is significant from an investor psychology standpoint because it means that everyone who has bought shares in the last year is sitting on gains - as a result, the "back to even" mentality is less of a concern than it would be for a name with a higher proportion of shareholders sitting on losses. Investors who aren't too risk-averse may want to consider buying here.

If you have a couch, easy chair, foam pillow (including those used for breastfeeding), mattress, mattress pad, futon, car seat, carpet padding or any other product made with PBDEs before 2005 in your house, you could be exposing your child to chemicals that may possibly lower his or her intelligence and / or lead to hyperactivity.
PBDEs are polybrominated diphenyl ethers used for decades as fire retardants in common products such as carpeting, baby strollers and electronics.
In a recent study, PBDEs have been associated with hyperactivity and lower intelligence in children. PBDEs were mostly withdrawn from the U.S. market in 2004, but remain present in many consumer products bought before then.
"In animal studies, PBDEs can disrupt thyroid hormone and cause hyperactivity and learning problems. Our study adds to several other human studies to highlight the need to reduce exposure to PBDEs in pregnant women," study author Dr. Aimin Chen, an assistant professor in the department of environmental health at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, said in an American Academy of Pediatrics news release.
For their study, researchers examined the PBDE levels in blood samples from 309 pregnant women and followed up with intelligence and behavior tests on the women's children each year until they were 5 years old.
Researchers found that PBDE exposure in the womb was associated with hyperactivity at ages 2 to 5, and with lower intelligence at age 5. A tenfold increase in PBDE exposure during pregnancy was related to about a four-point IQ deficit in 5-year-old children.
The results of the research did not prove a cause and effect relationship with hyperactivity and lower intelligence scores in the children, but did show a possible association.
Many households contain items that were purchased before the PBDE ban in 2004. Oftentimes these products are handed down from one family member to another (especially children's products), or can be picked up at a garage sale.
"Because PBDEs exist in the home and office environment as they are contained in old furniture, carpet pads, foams and electronics, the study raises further concern about their toxicity in developing children," Chen concluded.
In a study published in 2008 by the Environmental Working Group, young children were found to have 3 times the blood levels of fire-retardant chemicals as their mothers.
What can you do to reduce your family's exposure to PBDEs?
1. Inspect foam items. Replace anything with a ripped cover or foam that is misshapen and breaking down. If you cannot replace these items try to keep the covers intact. Beware of older items like car seats and mattress pads where the foam is not completely encased in a protective fabric.
2. Use a vacuum fitted with a HEPA filter. These vacuums are more efficient at trapping small particles and will likely remove more contaminants and other allergens from your home. HEPA-filter air cleaners may also reduce particle-bound contaminants in your house.
3. Do not reupholster foam furniture. Even those items without PBDEs might contain poorly studied fire retardants with potentially harmful effects.
4. Be careful when removing old carpet. The padding may contain PBDEs. Keep your work area isolated from the rest of your home. Clean up with a HEPA-filter vacuum and mop to pick up as many of the small particles as possible.
5. When purchasing new products ask the manufacturers what type of fire retardants they use. Avoid products with brominated fire retardants, and opt for less flammable fabrics and materials, like leather, wool and cotton. Be aware that "natural" or latex foam and natural cotton are flammable and require a fire retardant method that may contain toxic fire retardants.
The study is to be presented Monday at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
Until it is peer-reviewed in a medical journal it should be considered a preliminary finding.
As a nation of consumers we are exposed to chemicals, many of which we've never heard of, in products we use daily. Most of us are not scientists, just people trying to find the right products that are safe for our families. More information on product safety can be found at www.ewg.org and www.epa.gov.

Investigating Novell's ZENworks Linux Management 7
Policy-based administration and image-based system installation are important new features of Novell's ZENworks Linux Management 7. We'll show you what's new with the Linux component of Novell's fabled ZENworks suite.
Before Novell acquired Suse, they reached the headlines in the summer of 2003 by taking over the reins of the well-known Ximian software company. Novell integrated Ximian's system management software, Red Carpet, into their ZENworks family to create ZENworks Linux Management (ZLM). The new owners continued to build on that Ximian foundation, releasing versions 6.5 and 6.6, but the tool's Red Carpet history was still clearly visible. ZLM showed few signs of progress until the recent appearance of Version 7. ZLM 7 (Figure 1) reveals increasing evidence of Novell's influence, including a new administration interface, architectural changes, and many additions to the feature set.

John the Revelator
Peter Murphy
A universal story of love, family and betrayal,
John the Revelator
is narrated in the compelling voice of an introverted, watchful adolescent, John Devine. Stuck in a small town, worried over by his single mother - the chain-smoking, bible-quoting Lily - and the gregarious but sinister Mrs Nagle, he yearns for escape. When Jamey Corboy, a self-styled Rimbaudian boy-wonder, arrives in town, John's life suddenly fills with possibilities - welcome and otherwise - and as he hides from the reality of his mother's ever-worsening health, he is faced with a terrible dilemma.
Brilliantly evoking all the frustrations and pent-up energy of a parochial adolescence, John the Revelator also gradually becomes the story of Lily herself, and the secrets of her past. Suffused with eerie imagery, black humour and told in hypnotic prose, John the Revelator is a novel to fall in love with.

When it comes to higher education, the creme de la creme is schools like Harvard, Yale, or Oxford. But not to Kris Jenner. She tells The Hollywood Reporter:
It's so funny that somebody can criticize a show like ours, and yet we employ hundreds of people. And it's been such a great learning experience for all of my kids. It's the best education I could offer them.
Hmm. Let's put on our thinking caps and debate.
While Kris has a point that her clan's various shows and myriad entrepreneurial endeavors employs hundreds people, I'm not sure that had anything to do with an education. Granted, Kris's kids are very successful in their chosen field -- reality TV. But that's a far cry from academia. Money isn't necessarily knowlege. There are plenty of rich dumbasses in the world.
Perhaps what Kris is trying to say is that her children received an education in business, since their reality exploits have led to so many business deals. But it's Kris that negotiates them. And she has a lot of help. There are lawyers involved. I highly doubt any of the clan sits down and goes through every licensee contract with a fine-tooth comb.
If Kris Jenner's education is Keeping Up with the Kardashians, then I guess Kim Kardashian's master's thesis was her sex tape. Or maybe her short-lived marriage. Perhaps she has two concentrations.
If everyone plays their cards right, the kids will never have to work again after the show ends. But plenty of rich celebrities go broke. Not that an education guarantees you won't ever go broke -- but it at least gives you something to fall back on. I'm not sure what the kids will be doing when they're in middle age. Hopefully, they're investing well.
I'm not knocking Kris for making her kids very successful. But you can't compare a reality show to Princeton. Well, I guess if you're Kris, you can. Hopefully there are no moms reading Kris's words and thinking, "To hell with that scholarship to Columbia! Let's get a reality show, kids!"
Do you think Kris gave her kids an education? Do you think it matters?
Image via Hollywood Reporter
She taught them how to be greedy and cold. With the exception of Khloe who doesn't come across as
greedy at all. Tell me someone what kind of mother on national tv in front of her kids tells them who is her
favorite. Let us not forgot when Rob had his breakdown in the therapists office Kris sat there cold as ice
and never approached her son to comfort him. He was hurting and she just sat there.
I guess this is not what I imagine having a great education. It is ok for people to have a different vision, but there are some standards we should keep up with and seeing things in pink glasses is just so not good. Educating through reality show...well it is not good for me. I am educating kids through good examples. For instance, I have customized and original coursework and dissertation to show to my child, just to encourage him. I mean I have so many examples for sure!

Lombardy - Lake Como Area:
The Italian Lakes are a little slice of paradise. Elegant ribbons of blue water stretch out ahead, folded into the sun-baked foothills, with a spectacular back drop of the snow-capped Alps.
Lake Como offers hidden treasures just waiting for the visitor to discover them: charming corners forgotten by time, lakeside villages where nothing seems to have changed for centuries.
It is steeped in history with an immense collection of churches, architectural masterpieces and works of art covering the centuries. The lake is situated in a basin surrounded by wooded mountains, and offers an extremely varied landscape, with its' shores featuring a succession of pastures, and woods as well as harsh and impressive rock formations.
All this alongside elegant, lakeside villas with sub-tropical gardens, which provide a haven of peace and tranquillity and chic resorts such as Varenna, Bellagio, Menaggio and Como itself.
Warming, in spriing and graced with natural beauty, the lakes are still a place to draw breath and wonder. Lake Como, oriented north-south, ringed by characterful old villages often wedged onto narrow beaches between rugged cliffs and water. Those classic lake images of flower strewn balconies, Baroque gardens and splendid waterside villas can be found here in abundance. Dotted around and between the lakes are some of Italy's finest art cities, such as Milan, Verona & Bergamo.
The most romantic and picturesque villages on the lake are Santa Maria Rezzonico, Varenna (15 min by ferry) & Bellagio (8 min by ferry), Lenno (visit Villa Balbianello, location for 007's Casino Royale as well as Villa Gaeta, right here in Menaggio) & Laglio (where George Clooney owns Villa Oleandra).

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
June 9, 2008
Every year in response to a Congressional directive, the Department of the Navy issues reports that describe its plans for ship construction over a 30-year period. In the report released in February 2006, the Navy presented its fiscal year 2007 plan, which called for expanding its fleet from 285 battle force ships in 2006 to 313 by 2020 and beyond. In May 2006, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued a study analyzing that plan and estimating its potential costs. Today CBO released an analysis of the resource implications of the Navy's fiscal year 2009 shipbuilding plan.
Since May 2006, the Navy has provided two updates to its 313-ship plan, one for fiscal year 2008 and one for fiscal year 2009.The plans differ in several ways. For instance, although the 2007 and 2008 plans both assumed annual costs of $16.1 billion for new construction, the 2008 plan increased the total number of ships scheduled for purchase over the 30-year period to 293, compared with 280 under the 2007 plan. The 2009 plan envisions purchasing three more ships than indicated in the 2008 plan296and increases the Navys estimate of the costs to implement the plan by about 30 percent. Although the overall number of ships slated for purchase under the 2008 and 2009 plans differs only slightly, the Navy made significant changes in the types of ships it would purchase under the two plans. CBO's analysis found the following:
- Executing the Navy's most recent 30-year shipbuilding plan would cost an average of about $27 billion per year (in 2009 dollars), or more than double the $12.6 billion a year that the Navy has spent, on average, since 2003.
- The Navy's 2009 budget request appears to depart from all of the budgetary assumptions used to develop the service's 2007 and 2008 shipbuilding plans.
- CBO's estimates of the Navy's shipbuilding program through the period covered by the 2009-2013 Future Years Defense Program are about 30 percent higher than the Navy's estimates.
- For the 2009-2020 "near term" period, CBO estimates that the new-ship construction alone would cost about 13% more than the Navy estimates
- For the "far term" period beyond 2020, CBO estimates that costs would be about 8% greater than the Navy projects.
These estimates are based on a number of assumptions that CBO made about the size and characteristics of various types of ships that the Navy would buy and about the timing of those purchases. Different assumptions could produce different estimates. The analysis was performed by Eric J. Labs of our National Security Division and Raymond Hall of our Budget Analysis Division.
