Sleepwalking is a disorder that occurs when people walk or do other activity while they are still asleep.
Walking during sleep; Somnambulism
The normal sleep cycle has stages, from light drowsiness to deep sleep. During the stage called rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the eyes move quickly and vivid dreaming is most common.
Each night people go through several cycles of non-REM and REM sleep. Sleepwalking (somnambulism) most often occurs during deep, non-REM sleep (stage 3 or stage 4 sleep) early in the night. If it occurs during REM sleep, it is part of REM behavior disorder and tends to happen near morning.
The cause of sleepwalking in children is usually unknown. Fatigue, lack of sleep, and anxiety are all associated with sleepwalking. In adults, sleepwalking may occur due to:
In the elderly, sleepwalking may be a symptom of an organic brain syndrome or REM behavior disorders.
Sleepwalking can occur at any age, but it happens most often in children ages 5 through 12. It appears to run in families.
When people sleepwalk, they may sit up and look as though they are awake when they are actually asleep. They may get up and walk around. Or they do complex activities such as moving furniture, going to the bathroom, and dressing or undressing. Some people even drive a car while they are asleep.
The episode can be very brief (a few seconds or minutes) or it can last for 30 minutes or longer. Most episodes last for less than 10 minutes. If they are not disturbed, sleepwalkers will go back to sleep. But they may fall asleep in a different or even unusual place.
Symptoms of sleepwalking include:
Usually, examinations and testing are not needed. If the sleepwalking occurs often, the doctor may do an exam or tests to rule out other disorders (such as partial complex seizures).
If the person has a history of emotional problems, they also may need to have a psychological evaluation to look for causes such as excessive anxiety or stress.
Most persons do not need specific treatment for sleepwalking.
In some cases, short-acting tranquilizers have been helpful in reducing sleepwalking episodes.
Some people mistakenly believe that a sleepwalker should not be awakened. It is not dangerous to awaken a sleepwalker, although it is common for the person to be confused or disoriented for a short time when they wake up.
Another misconception is that a person cannot be injured while sleepwalking. Sleepwalkers are commonly injured when they trip and lose their balance.
Safety measures may be needed to prevent injury. This may include moving objects such as electrical cords or furniture to reduce the chance of tripping and falling. Stairways may need to be blocked with a gate.
Sleepwalking usually decreases as children get older. It usually does not indicate a serious disorder, although it can be a symptom of other disorders.
It is unusual for sleepwalkers to perform activities that are dangerous. But precautions should be taken to prevent injuries such as falling down stairs or climbing out of a window.

* Natural Instincts Level 2 Non Permanent vs. the leading Level 3 permanent crème colorant
Hair, just like skin, is susceptible to environmental factors that attack the proteins in your hair, which can weaken the hair structure and ultimately lead to breakage. In most cases, this process is amplified when you color your hair.
Our ammonia-free Natural Instincts system with coconut oil nourishes and protects your hair with clinically proven healthier color.* The antioxidant properties prevent the formation of highly reactive, damaging molecules by helping to inactivate the metal ions that cause their formation. This leads to predictable color results and hair that's actually healthier-looking than before you colored!
* Natural Instincts non-permanent Level 2 vs. leading Triple Protection permanent Level 3 color crème: based on amount of surface damage
The Natural Instincts Collection, the only hair color clinically proven less damaging,* is also the hair color women applaud for its natural-looking results, healthy-looking shine and ability to gently blend away gray. * Natural Instinct level 2 non-permanent vs. leading level 3 non-permanent crème color. Based on amount of surface damage.

Title Fight
In the middle of June 2011, hundreds of people converged on Redwood Art Space, a cramped storefront unit in an aging, out-of-the-way strip mall on the outskirts of Wilkes-Barre in the heart of northeastern Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley. The crowd ranged in age from fresh-faced, guileless early teens to preening, collegiate twenties to paunchy, resigned forties, and in affect from angular-coiffed mall-punk to Polo- and Nike-bedecked straight-edge hardcore to menacing on-probation street tough. They had come to celebrate the release of Shed, the debut album by Title Fight, a local melodic hardcore-punk band formed in 2003 by bassist-vocalist Ned Russin, drummer Ben Russin, and guitarist-vocalist Jamie Rhoden when the three were in middle school.
In the intervening eight years the band had added a second guitar player, Shane Moran, and released a succession of demos and EPs. At some point, roughly around the release of Kingston, their 2008 Lifetime-inspired seven-inch named after the Wilkes-Barre suburb where they were raised, Title Fight had started to get busy. At first, the exposure had been regional — their pictures in the city paper, their local shows drawing notably large numbers of kids. Eventually, it had gotten bigger than that. By the end of 2009, they had secured slots on tours with the likes of New Found Glory and H20, some of the biggest names on the uppermost echelon of modern punk rock. They had, in other words, embarked upon a path that would lead inexorably to their becoming a big, nationally known band.
And yet here they were — in the midst of such an ascent, at a point in their lives when the trappings of celebrity are at their most alluring — here they were marking the release of their debut full-length by playing a self-promoted show in a drab, cigarette-smoke-stained erstwhile retail space with no air conditioning. They would perform that night between four sweating gypsum walls and under a sagging asbestos ceiling in a room whose square-footage would allow admittance of no more than a couple of hundred paying customers, and whose floor plan lacked a bar, a VIP area, and even so much as a ladies bathroom. Appearing as openers on the evening's bill were Cold World, War Hungry, and Dead End Path, homegrown hardcore bands specializing in high-volume ferocity inspired to the point of slavish obsession by the legendary New York City hardcore scene of the 1980s.
To understand Title Fight, what makes them special, what inspires uncommon loyalty within their rapidly growing fanbase, one must understand, first, why the Shed release show could happen and, second, why it did happen. At no point in their first eight years had Title Fight's four members lost touch with the DIY hardcore scene in which they had come of age. Nor had they even momentarily ceased to regard themselves as card-carrying members. In return, the DIY hardcore scene, a subculture with an unmatched aptitude for detecting hidden agendas, threw its support behind the band to an extent that is frankly unprecedented.
"This has been something that I've thought a lot about over the past couple of years. Where does Title Fight fall in hardcore?" Ned Russin says. "We're all hardcore kids, we all go to hardcore shows, and we're inspired by hardcore bands, so are we not a hardcore band? I feel like the hardcore scene has our backs, and if it does it's because it senses that we're always going to be the same people and that we're not doing anything that we ourselves, as hardcore kids, wouldn't back."
Many credibility-seeking frontmen of many credibility-bereft bands have attempted to make similar cases. But Russin and his bandmates are among the very few who in saying they're down know it to be true. It's simply a fact that Title Fight is a band for which integrity is not a pose but second nature. And that means something. People notice that. Have noticed it.
"The only reason we're in the position we're in is because we had a really good example set for us in the scene we come from, in Wilkes-Barre," Shane Moran says. "Everything's moved really fast for us recently. There are all these industry professionals you get involved with who are trying to get their hands on a piece of the pie. So we're always trying to bring our friends out on tour, and everything from music videos to T-shirt designs to album artwork — all that labor has been kept within the small, insular world of our friends.
He goes on: "The bands that I like, you sort of get a feel for their personality beyond their music. You're able to develop an understanding of where they're from, what they're like, who they came up with, and who they surround themselves with. Someone like Ned could tell you the weirdest little piece of minutiae about Youth of Today or another one of his favorite bands. And I feel like we have an obligation to make that information available to the world, so that kids who might want to know and who might be fascinated by it can find out."
* * *
Shed was a culmination record. In listening to it one might very well have pictured the four members of Title Fight, who, to their parents' horror, have dropped out of college to tour full-time, at the summit of a mountain so tall it had taken eight years to climb. It drew on influences as diverse as Jawbreaker, Turning Point, Gorilla Biscuits, and Brand New. It had been produced by Walter Schreifels, one of their heroes. It seemed to contain in its sounds and words everything the band knew of the world, along with every nostalgic, terrified, confused, and euphoric feeling they had ever felt. How is anyone supposed to follow that up?
A year passed. They toured the world. In the late spring of 2012, they had a month away from the road. They promptly entered the studio and recorded 11 songs with Will Yip, who had engineered Shed. Mere weeks later, they left the studio, having completed their second full-length album, Floral Green. Just like that.
"Shed had been a really time coming, I feel like," Moran says. "We didn't want to do the first full-length until we felt like we were prepared, like we were ready to give the world a definitive release from us. And now that we've kind of gotten that out of our system, we're all just really excited about the opportunity to make music, to make another record. It's what we love doing — it's all we want to do — so there was no better time. We were ready."
Floral Green (out on SideOneDummy Records in Septmber 2012) is a continuation record, in both the if-it-ain't-broken sense and the onward-and-upward sense. The songs continue to drive, the singing continues to be heartfelt, almost frenzied, the hooks continue to soar, and the hardcore-punk influences continue to be central. But the songwriting, which has progressed immeasurably, now incorporates a strain of textured, emotional art-rock that listeners of a certain age and predilection will associate with labels like 4AD, Creation, and SST. Longtime fans will note that the band has kept intact its unbroken record of blockbuster first tracks; this time it's "Numb, But I Still Feel It," which is as much Swervedriver as it is Naked Raygun. Elsewhere: "Head In The Ceiling Fan," with its Slowdive-like swirl, and "In-Between," which sounds like The Sundays meets Quicksand.
As with everything Title Fight does, has done, and will continue to do, Floral Green is an exercise in earnestness, of playing music and singing words that express, with absolute pinpoint precision, what is felt, and doing so in unguarded, unmediated, and unironic terms. The album's lyrics provide a blow-by-bow account of human feeling in all its complexity and, it has to be said, in all its ugliness. They reveal the frightening-to-plumb depths of resentment, self-doubt, cowardice, and duplicity that we all know are somewhere inside us.
"I really strive to be honest in my writing, but that is something I always struggle with," Russin says. "I think this is by far the most straightforward stuff I've written. I'm really proud of that, but at times I'm worried about people knowing how I feel."
Also, and not incidentally, the album contains talk of loving homeland and family, of gratitude for life's opportunities and its occasional swells of transcendent happiness. Ultimately, Floral Green is a leading-by-example repudiation of cynicism and narcissism. It amounts to a persuasive argument in favor of presenting yourself exactly as you are. Exactly as you've always been.
"This record is a time capsule of where we're at in our lives and the world we come from," Moran says. "We want to put all that out into the world because it's those things that set us apart and make us interesting. We feel a responsibility to the kid somewhere out there who by seeing Title Fight will have their eyes opened to something more — and I don't mean just by becoming a fan of Title Fight, but by going beyond us, to dig deeper into the music they listen to and hopefully discover something that's really meaningful and really special to them."

Barnes Tipped M/LE TAC-TX Rifle Bullets are different from TAC-X bullets in that they have a special polymer tip capable of increasing the ballistic coefficient for better ballistics in long range shots. However, these bullets also offer controlled and double diameter expansion along with full functionality and maximum penetration.
Other benefits of using these bullets include the 100 percent copper material, high weight retention, and outstanding performance for going through barriers. Used primarily by law enforcement officials and military personnel, the bullets are a flawless choice for AR-type rifles. Proven to be exceptional, these are not reloading bullets.

The highly athletic Huff was forced to play corner for the talent-depraved Raiders last season, but he'll slot in as Ed Reed's replacement at free safety with the Ravens. It's yet another shrewd signing from GM Ozzie Newsome as he rebuilds his defense. Huff is five years younger than Reed, has missed just four games in his seven-year career and his average annual salary is $3M cheaper. Thanks in large part to this week's additions of Huff and DE/OLB Elvis Dumervil, the Ravens are a good bet to actually improve on last year's 17th-ranked defense.

CANCELED - Stars vs Kings11-25-2012
The National Hockey League announced today the cancellation of the 2012-13 regular-season schedule through November 30 because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL. A total of 326 regular-season games- 26.5 percent of the season -- were scheduled for Oct. 11 through Nov. 30. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly today issued the following statement regarding cancellation of the 2012-13 NHL regular-season schedule through Nov. 30: "The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action. By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to Player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term Collective Bargaining Agreement that would have preserved an 82-game Regular Season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur. "We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the Players and the Clubs --one that will be good for the game and our fans."

Cswitch Corporation Adopts Mentor Graphics 10 Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller for Innovative Configurable Switch Array Chip
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Sept. 12, 2006 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT), a leader in standards-based semiconductor intellectual property (IP), today announced that Cswitch Corporation has selected the Mentor Graphics® 10 Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) for its flagship Configurable Switch Array™ chip. The new chip is the first to combine the performance and density of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with the re-configurability and time to market of an field programmable gate array (FPGA). It is the first programmable chip to embed 10 Gigabit Ethernet MACs as standard cells in order to address high performance network markets such as routers, switches and SONET equipment.
"We selected Mentor Graphics since it's the industry leader for Ethernet MAC IP," stated Godrey D'Souza, Cswitch vice president of engineering. "Integrating Mentor's 10Gb MACs into our fully configurable chip, with its high performance network blocks and 2Ghz dataCrossconnect, ensures a platform that customers can quickly and easily develop applications that previously could only be done in ASICs or with multiple FPGAs."
Cswitch's Configurable Switch Array Chip was developed to specifically address the network market with a platform that was not hindered by the performance and low gate count densities of standard FPGAs. By embedding six Mentor 10Gb Ethernet MACs on the first Cswitch chip, designers have at their disposal over 60 Gbps of on chip bandwidth without using up any of the valuable programmable gates. Moreover, it now becomes possible for engineers to develop programmable solutions that range in size from 1 million to 7 million gates.
"The Cswitch Configurable Switch Array chip is an innovative technology and Mentor is proud to have been selected for its leading Ethernet MAC cores, which provide fast speed for a variety of different applications," stated Bill Martin, general manager of Mentor Graphics IP division. "We believe our expertise in providing reliable, standards-based, reusable IP solutions for key technologies, plus our reputation for outstanding service and support, serve key customers like Cswitch Corporation well."
Mentor Graphics is a Leader in the Communications IP Market
Mentor Graphics' intellectual property (IP) cores for ASIC and FPGA usage in telecom and networking systems were recently ranked as one of the top three (Mentor, Xilinx and ARM) leading IP suppliers in the world, according to Light Reading's Components Insider study (ASICs & FPGAs for Telecom Applications: A Buyer Study, Vol. 2, No. 3, July 2006). For more information on Mentor Graphics portfolio of standards-based IP technologies, go to www.mentor.com/ip.

quote:Well, if the NBA could get bigger crowds, the owners would build bigger arenas. I doubt every NBA game is a sellout that would have more people attending if only there were more seats.
quote:NBA stadiums range from about 17,000-22,000 capacity. MLS stadiums range from about 10,000-38,500 (18,000-27,000 if you take out the top and bottom stadiums). I don't know where you are getting more than 60,000
quote:Don't start bad-mouthing wrasslin' now.
quote:Thats 100% irrelevant. One is played in an indoor arena with a max capacity around 20,000, the other in a stadium that can seat usually around more than 60,000. Ratings tell you what people watch. Man, idk what world yall live in.
quote:Doesnt change my point one iota.

quote:I imagine you could find any metric you choose to dispute it.
quote:I would think NASCAR is easily at least as popular as the NBA.
quote:Truth is, the NBA just isn't that popular and most people don't care about it.

Verona Buffet
Love! Love!
I love my buffet! It was easy to assemble and took no time at all. The color is gorgeous and looks great with my dining table. Even my brother (who is very picky with furniture) loved it and couldn't believe the deal I got on it.
January 2, 2014
Beautiful Piece
This buffet is gorgeous and I love it. My husband and I put it together and it was relatively easy to do (the parts come numbered). I used the idea some other people mentioned about not using the wine section and instead use that area for my cookbooks. It gives the space it's in a lovely, classy feeling.
November 26, 2013
Great value
This buffet is really very well made and beautiful. I was looking at Pottery Barn buffets that were well over $1,000 when I thought of looking at Cost Plus. So glad I did. Under $400 is a bargain.
The pieces are real wood. The directions were insanely easy. I live in a remote area so have to order a lot of things online, and putting them together is usually a challenge, but this was so well organized and explained.
The only two things I don't like is the shipping was very expensive, but that's part of living where I do, so I can deal with it.
It would be absolutely perfect if it came with an extra inside shelf. Only having one will eventually make for a bit of a mess with everything thrown in on two shelves.
April 18, 2013
Perfect entertainment center
Use a simple hole saw, and this makes a perfect entertainment center. I purchased 2 matching 4 shelf book cases and it looks great. Keep the tv in the center to back area, or the doors will be difficult to open. The wood was darker than it appeared in the picture, but the distressed look works well with slightly lighter woods. Easy to assemble and made well.
August 18, 2012
Used as a TV stand

Happy with purchase
There is a lot of storage space. I didn't assemble the wine racks to leave space for a big basket of linens in the bottom.

Solid buy
Wow! This is a great piece. Solid wood frame, ends and bottom shelf. Every where you need stability in this piece, it's got real wood. After I assembled it, I didn't worry it would collapse under the weight of my settings of china and serving pieces. I bought two and put them side by side in the dining room to store china and excess nick nacks.

Love it!
Was eyeing this for well over a year. Needed something to go w/ our dining set that we also purchased from World Market. Easy to assemble. Looks beautiful in our home!

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) can be painful, but it is not quite as dire as it sounds. Technically, it is not a disease, but a condition, and the term degenerative applies to the disc, not necessarily the symptoms. In many cases, people with DDD actually improve over time.
DDD occurs when the outer layer of a disc becomes structurally unsound, usually with small cracks and tears. These tears in the disc can cause nerve inflammation or irritation, making it uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time. Over time, this can cause instability and misalignment of the spine.
Some customers will find temporary relief through the use of inversion tables, which increase the space between the vertebrae. it can be especially effective when used immediately before sleep, maximizing its benefits. Always have the client read the warning card before using the inversion table. Others may benefit from products to hold the spine in proper alignment to reduce instability.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Northwood teacher treks Appalachain Trail
Monday, September 9, 2013
NORTHWOOD — For many, hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail is a lifelong dream, but for a Northwood School teacher, it became a real-life experience this year.
For Fersch, who was previously teaching at another school, giving up a year of teaching was a difficult decision, but fortunately, the Northwood School allowed him to be a long-term substitute at the school for two months last year. "I love teaching, it's the greatest thing I've ever done," said Fersch. Fersch and Wendt began their journey on March 24. After flying to Georgia, they took a train as far as it would go, and then got a ride to the first mountain on their list, the Springer Mountain in Georgia. Right from the start of the trip, hiking through what looked like "rolling hills" was turning out to be difficult, said Fersch. It snowed during the first two days of the hike, and foliage didn't start to come in until about May. With sore feet and a pain in his knee, Fersch was beginning to feel discouraged, but the thought of taking a year off from teaching just to not complete the hike was not an option, he said.
"It would have really upset me to stop," said Fersch.
"Your mood and your attitude — you have more of control over it than we act like we do," said Fersch in an interview.
After finishing the hike, "I was proud of myself for having done this," said Fersch, who said the hike is "a good test of our patience as human beings." |

Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (she later dropped the Amber) played the popular cheerleader at Bayside and Zach's on-again-off-again girlfriend. Diamond claims in his book that the on-screen couple carried on a romance in real life as well. When the series ended, Thiessen moved to a more seductive zip code, "90210," to play the manipulative vixen Valerie Malone. Thiessen and co-star Brian Austin Green began a seven-year romance before Thiessen left the series in 1998. Green married another bright-eyed brunette beauty, Megan Fox. In addition to a memorable role as Honey DeLune opposite Tim Meadows in 2000's "The Ladies Man," Thiessen played Billie on the short-lived series "Fastlane." Her most recent role on "What About Brian" was cut short when the series was canceled. Now 39, Thiessen stars in the hit series "White Collar" and has a 2-year-old daughter, Harper Renn, with husband actor Brady Smith. She recently posed in her shirt and underwear for website Me in My Place, telling ABC News about her two decades as a sex symbol, "I think the older you get, it feels good that you can still do that little bit."

In 1993 I was signed to Warner Bros. as as one half of the rap group March 3rd, had a publishing deal with Zomba Music which then owned Jive Records and Battery Studios where I was obligated to work out of. I co-owned a independent hip hop-jazz label called Original Jazz Recordings that had a distribution deal with Polygram.
I had it very good, and was fortunate to work with and for quite a few artists and producers who are now considered hip hop legends.
Anyway GraFritz asked me to dig up any old videos I have for the documentary and this raw clip which was shot by my label's then A&R Director is of myself doing a producer's panel at the New Music Seminar. In the video is Royal Bayaan who produced Kool & the Gang, Eddie Edmund who produced TCF Crew, and the legendary Large Professor and DJ Clark Kent.
At that time I was doing the very same thing I'm doing today, incorporating live musicianship with sampling and one of the things I felt passionate about was keeping musicians in work. Sampling back then was getting out of control and studio musicians were suffering and I was saying that hip hop producers should consider employing people who can play so everyone could eat.
My point of view came as someone that was then commanding 25-50k per song. It also came from my school of thought as a DJ and as a musician, so today I can look at this video and understand how come Clark Kent and Large Professor reacted the way they did to my plea because Sampling after all was under attack by the industry and there was quite a few lawsuits happening. I didn't really have to face such issues because they were strictly sample based producers, where I was a hybrid producer that practiced both arts so I never had to clear anything. It's also how I got hired by my fellow producers to recreate samples for them.
I don't know if GraFritz is going to use this footage I'm sharing with you guys for the documentary, I don't want to interfere with his work. I trust him to tell my story in a compelling manner as he's been interviewing several artists, former executives and a few childhood friends, I hope you guys enjoy this video and maybe get some insight as this is apart of real hip hop history.

You can't have it both ways, meaning that you can't hand pick which historical records you want to keep just because it supports your beliefs. Then dismiss or discredit the things that do no support your beliefs by throwing out a verse like that. You are certainly entitled to disagree, qmark, but that argument is a bit condescending.

artist's studio, seattle
Benjamin Benschneider
Four white walls pivot to control light and circulation.
The mild steel-clad entryway of the old building, a former shoe parts warehouse, blends with the transitional neighborhood.
The movable table, inspired by the work of George Nakashima, was center-cut from an old-growth tree that died naturally and retains the tree's contours.
olson sundberg kundig allen architects, seattle
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but in the hands of Tom Kundig, FAIA, rudimentary solutions become bold and celebratory. The latest example of his trademark big thinking is this artist's studio in Seattle's patchwork Pike Street corridor. The client, a painter and printmaker who lives nearby, wanted a flexible workspace where she could also host cultivation events for art venues. Kundig thus preserved the building's weathered roughness while fabricating floating elements that can change the shape and use of the room. Four white dividing walls slide or pivot as needed to control light and circulation; they also provide places to hang the art and study it in different kinds of light.
All of the furniture has wheels for easy rolling, but the pièce de résistance is a 26-foot-long table, live-cut from a Douglas fir tree. "The table is a wink and a nod to the character of the space," Kundig says. Set on steamroller-type wheels welded from steel pipe, the table spends most of its time near the kitchenette as a work/dining surface, but it can also be wheeled out grandly for movable feasts.
The judges thought the architect's ideas, including the entryway clad in mild steel, were terrific. "The whole thing is flexible, and I love the materials," raved one judge.
