When we built the Sleep Number Innovation Series i10 bed, we weren't sure how we would top it.
Until now.
On April 17, 2011, we officially unveiled the all-new Sleep Number® i10 bed. It's a breakthrough in comfort and style with features designed to provide a quality night sleep.
What is it that makes this the most innovative Sleep Number bed?
The new i10 bed is designed and crafted in the USA and is all about quality and comfort from start to finish. We paid a lot of attention to detail so the entire bed has been redesigned. There's new updated corner rail technology for superior durability to provide you with lasting comfort. A dual-layer design lets you personalize your comfort with new conforming, ventilated memory foam layers and a soothing layer of support. What's more, the new i10 bed has an added two-inch base pad making the already amazingly comfortable Sleep Number bed even more luxurious. Advanced temperature balancing and moisture-wicking technologies keep you sleeping comfortably night after night. No more hot-cold-hot-cold battles with your covers.
And, you have to visit one of our Sleep Number stores to FEEL how SOFT and comfy the mattress is. I laid down on the mattress here in our showroom at Sleep Number headquarters and can testify that this is a VERY comfortable bed. I was walking with one of my coworkers and she exclaimed multiple times to everyone around here that "This is our best bed yet. It's SO comfortable and I already thought my Sleep Number bed was the best. I'm buying the new i10." I heard her an hour later still going around asking everyone if they'd had a chance to lay on our new bed yet. My thoughts exactly.
To me, the new Sleep Number i10 bed feels like an exquisite, supportive giant pillow. I'd love to slip my favorite Lyocell sheets on top of this mattress and sleep night after night.
And the best part? You can pick one up on sale. Right now. With $500 off.
Visit a store and write back to let us know what you think of our top-of-the-line mattress. You can learn more by visiting Sleep Number online, Facebook or Twitter.

Recipe by National Cattlemen's Beef Association
"Start your day out with a tasty beef, scrambled egg, and vegetable burrito topped with creamy lime-cilantro sauce."
Watch video tips and tricks
12 ounces ground beef (96% lean)
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend or shredded Cheddar cheese
4 medium spinach or plain flour tortillas (10-inch diameter), warmed
Lime-Cilantro Cream (optional):
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Everyone in my household enjoyed these. The recipe left off the sour cream for the lime-cilantro cream, but after checking around, I found it was suppose to be 1/2 cup sour cream mixed with the cilantro and lime juice. I doubled the recipe and used extra cheese (we love cheese). This would be really good with potatoes added in as well. :)
Holy cow, silly pun intended Natl. Cattlemen's Beef Assoc., these burritos were delicious! I used hand ground beef sirloin and stayed true to the rest of the recipe. Very tasty, pretty presentation, kid friendly, company worthy, economical meal. The spinach wraps are a must. The lime cilantro cram really gives this dish a nice adult taste. I don't think most kids would like it if they're anything like my grandsons. We would definitely have these again but for our tastes, we'd double the ground seasoning.

Fly over the new Bernard
For downtown motorists and pedestrians frustrated by the Bernard Revitalization, the City of Kelowna is offering prizes and a glimpse of what the fuss is all about.
The City of Kelowna has made available an animated fly-by of what residents can expect to see when the $14-million Bernard Avenue Revitalization, which began Sept. 5, is completed in the summer of 2014.
Improvements to Bernard Avenue, considered Kelowna's main street, include wider sidewalks, a coordinated complement of street furniture, as well as more trees and vegetation.
Currently, Bernard Avenue from Ellis to Richter Street will be closed to motorists in order to accommodate the utility replacement and streetscaping portion of phase I.
"The Ellis Street intersection will be closed to motorists and the truck route will be rerouted temporarily to Gordon Drive until mid-October. Detour routes will be clearly marked and traffic safety personnel will be on site directing traffic," the City says.
However, the City stresses that Bernard Avenue remains accessible to pedestrian traffic.
"Access to businesses, walkways and sidewalks is a priority. Pedestrian crossings at St. Paul and Bertram streets are permitted when safe and traffic personnel are present to assist.
"While Bernard Avenue is closed to vehicles between Richter and Ellis streets, including the Ellis intersection, the rest of Bernard Avenue is open to motorists, pedestrians and for parking."
Residents and visitors can also expect construction noise at earlier and later hours than normal, as city council has amended the noise bylaw to allow for extended construction hours.
Crews are permitted to work from 6 a.m. to midnight, Monday to Saturday, with occasional work also allowable outside of these hours.
City offers cash prizes to downtown visitors
As a little incentive to keep business as usual in the downtown core, the City is holding a Bernard Avenue contest.
Those who shop or dine at businesses on Bernard Avenue in Phase 1— from Richter to Ellis Streets—will receive an entry slip. Contestants should enter the number from your entry slip online at Downtown Kelowna.
A $500 prize for downtown dollars will be drawn every two weeks.
Residents and visitors can find weekly updates on the project as well as photos of the construction at the City of Kelowna website.

Nike Air Force 1
Men's Shoe
The legend lives on in the Nike Air Force 1 Men's Shoe, a low-cut take on the iconic AF-1 blending classic court style and striking color contrast.
The leather upper includes strategically placed overlays for added premium durability, fit and support. Perforations enhance ventilation to help keep feet dry and comfortable.
The low-cut silhouette creates a low-to-the-ground feel and classic look. This version of the Nike Air Force 1 features crisp leather edges for a cleaner, more streamlined silhouette and finer detailing.
A metal "AF-1 '82" tag on the laces honors the shoe's debut.
The durable foam midsole includes a full-length Nike Air unit for lightweight cushioning and impact protection.
Transcending foot coverage since 1982, this once hoops shoe was named after Air Force One-the aircraft that carries the U.S. President. It was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionizing the game for players like Moses Malone and Charles Barkley while rapidly gaining traction around the world, from the hardwood to the blacktop to the core of hip-hop culture. Today the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with soft, springy cushioning and a massive midsole, but the Nike Air technology takes a backseat to the shoe's status as an icon.
More Benefits
- Pivot points in the forefoot and heel for smooth transitions in all directions
- Non-marking rubber outsole for traction and durability
- Padding at collar for a snug, comfortable fit
Featured Technology
Nike Air
More than 30 years ago, a revolutionary idea raised the standards in sneaker comfort: Use the lightest cushioning material there is—air. Nike Air units work by trapping air molecules inside a durable urethane shell. With each footstrike, the air unit compresses to reduce the force of impact, then immediately recovers its shape to be ready for the next landing. Nike Air units are built to last, so the cushioning properties hold steady for the life of the shoe.

Report: Microsoft to debut 'Windows TV' at CES
With CES fast-approaching, the rumor mill is at full bore, and one of the latest items to come out of it is that Microsoft will be rolling out a "stripped-down version of Windows" that will run on set-top boxes and upcoming TV sets.
The report comes courtesy of The Seattle Times, which says the boxes will cost somewhere in the ballpark of $200, will run the Windows Media Center interface, and will be on the market sometime this year.
As The Times points out, the version of Windows that will be running this TV-friendly interface is not a … Read more

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 8:25 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
What would be big bill in the Congress be without a few extras stuffed into the measure? Don't worry, the latest health reform bill has a few items surfacing that might raise some eyebrows.
Some of them cropped up yesterday as Sen. Max Baucus issued 36 pages of revisions to his original health reform bill that he unveiled last week.
For example on page 51, the following would be inserted:
"The Chairman's Mark would establish a grant program to be used to fund operating expenses for school-based health centers (as defined in the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, P.L. 111-3). The Chairman's Mark would appropriate $100 million in FY 2010 and FY 2011, for a total of $200 million, to remain available until expended for such program."
In other words, there is $200 million in spending on school-based health centers. That was part of an amendment by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).
Here is a change that came from Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME).
"The Chairman's Mark would establish a three-year, $75 million demonstration project for up to eight states to expand the number of emergency inpatient psychiatric care beds available in communities."
That's $275 million.
Another extra piece of money came from Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE).
"This amendment provides $200 million to the Secretary of Health and Human Services for up to five years to make grants to small businesses with less than 100 employees (full and or part-time workers) to provide access to comprehensive, evidence-based workplace wellness programs."
That's $475 million.
Another plan from Sen. Jeff Bingamann (D-NM) would establish "Teaching Health Centers" that would be eligible for money for medical education expenses.
The money would be funneled to these schools from Medicare.
"A total of $230 million will transferred from the Medicare Part A trust fund for FY2011 to FY2015 using a formula for calculating the direct graduate medical education expenses and the indirect expenses associated with operating approved graduate medical residency training programs established by this Section."
That's $705 million in new spending.
That same Bingamann amendment would also create a new federal grant program to "establish newly accredited or to expand primary care medical residency programs."
"$25 million in FY2010; $50 million in FY2011; $50 million for FY2012 and such subsequent sums as may be necessary to carry out this section."
Wait - wait - "such subsequent sums as may be necessary" - that's basically an open ended appropriation.
That's $830 million (plus).
Another Stabenow amendment would add $200 mllion for "a provision that would appropriate $50 million per year for FY2012 through FY2015 to establish a graduate nurse education demonstration program in Medicare."
That's now $1.23 billion.
I'm not sure I would label any of these as "pork" - but they certainly could be referred to as "sweeteners."
It might be just the start of the Health Care Gravy Train. Stay tuned.

Jun 13, 2006 — Yesterday was a grim debut for Team USA in the World Cup in Germany. The Americans had little to surprise heavily favored Czech Republic in their 0-3 loss. According to an ESPN poll, most Americans didn't adjust their routines to watch the noontime match. A couple dozen mostly international students took in the game in Clarkson University's student center in Potsdam. It was a far cry from thousands of chanting fans filling squares in other countries.

The Senate of Canada, that venerable and mostly irrelevant appendage, is much in the news of late.
Teapot tempests over residency rules and senators' travel and living expenses are impeding a more important debate: do we need a senate and, if so, what do we want it to do?
I frankly don't care where Senator Mike Duffy, a broadcast journalist before he went over to the dark side, calls home. He may be a resident of Prince Edward Island where he was born and where he keeps a summer cottage (at Cavendish). Or it may be Ontario where he has lived for 40-odd years, where he has a home (on the outskirts of Ottawa), where he pay taxes and has his driver's licence, health card and his cardiologist (he has had serious heart problems).
Duffy regards himself as an Islander. Prime Minister Stephen Harper accepted him as such when he appointed him to represent P.E.I. (The Constitution requires senators to own $4,000 in "real property" in the province they represent. Duffy had that in P.E.I. as well as is in Ontario.)
He came a cropper when it was revealed it had claimed his P.E.I. cottage as his principal residence and had collected $42,000-odd in an allowance for a secondary residence in Ottawa. It is clear Ottawa was, and is, his principal residence. Although it is also clear he should not have claimed the allowance — he says he will repay the money — I do have some sympathy.
What would have happened if he had declared his principal residence to be in Ontario? He could have avoided the living-allowance controversy — but he would have had to resign from the Senate because the Constitution, adopted 146 years ago, requires senators to "be resident in the province" for which they are appointed.
The residency rules make no sense the days. They are vestiges of an era when senators came to Ottawa once or twice a year by train, stayed in the capital until the session ended, then got on the train to go home again. Principal residence wasn't an issue.
These days, a senator like Duffy can get on a plane in Charlottetown or Ottawa in morning, fly to the other place (working his smartphone as he goes), spend the day tending to public business, then fly back at the end of the day. It doesn't matter where he calls his principal residence.
The Constitution is an impediment to modernization of many procedures, in the Senate and elsewhere. Senate reform is not going to happen any time soon, though. In the interval, a more flexible approach by the government and the Senate would let senators like Duffy and others choose the place they want to call home.
The case of Saskatchewan Senator Pamela Wallin is different. I have known Pam for years, and I have no idea where she lives. I don't even know how to figure that out. She owns a condo in Toronto, which is rented out. She owns another condo in New York, which may or may not be rented. Her hometown is Wadena, Sask., where she is co-owner (with her sister) of a house in town; she also has a cottage at Fishing Lake outside town.
Among her several residential options, Wallin chooses the house in Wadena as her principal residence. That seems fair enough. Instead of maintaining a second home in Ottawa, she stays in a hotel there. Her hotel expenses are covered by the Senate.
Her travel costs between Ottawa and Wadena are not excessive. But she claimed a whopping $321,027 for "other" travel in Canada and beyond in a two-year period. Some of that would be travel on behalf of the Conservative party because Wallin is in demand as a speaker at fundraisers.
The issue to my mind is not how much Wallin spends on party-related travel. It is why the Tory party is not picking up those bills instead of sticking the taxpayer with them.

AGA iTotal Control Cooker allows for remote-control cookery
By Ben Coxworth
June 11, 2012
AGA's new electric iTotal Control Cooker incorporates three separate independently-operating ovens, assigned to the roasting, baking and simmering of foods. It also has a snazzy touchscreen panel, which can be used to control those ovens. Additionally, there's a boiling plate and a simmering plate on top. What really makes it special, however, is the fact that it can be controlled from anywhere in the world.
There are three ways in which the iTotal Control can be remotely operated.
The first is by text message. Users simply send a message along the lines of "All ovens on" or "Roasting oven on," whenever they want the food that they've left inside the oven(s) to start cooking. Within 15 to 20 seconds, they will receive a confirmation message from their appliance, such as "Roast Oven On - Activated."
The second method involves using a dedicated website. After initially registering their cooker on that site, users will subsequently be able to use the onscreen interface, which is similar to the cooker's own control panel. This can be used to turn all or some of the ovens on or off, in real time.
Finally, an interface similar to that on the website can be accessed via a free iPhone or Android smartphone app.
The cooker receives its remote commands via a separate hard-wired router-like box. That box must be located in an area where it can receive a network signal – a booster aerial is available, if such a location isn't close to the cooker.
Of course, simply setting a timer in the morning is less work than remembering to do so at an appointed time later in the day, and that can also be done on the iTotal Control – each of the cast-iron ovens can be programmed for one or two cooking cycles per day, seven days a week. The remote functionality is presumably intended more for people with unpredictable schedules, so they can get their supper cooking once they're ready to leave work for the day.
The convenience and versatility of a three-ovened remote-control cooker does come at a price, however. If you want an iTotal Control of your own, expect to pay at least £10,090 (US$15,628).
It can be seen in use in the video below.

Just so I understand this correctly, you can remotely start cooking food that you have left in the oven without any kind of refrigeration. This sounds like a fantastice time saver! If you cook it hot enough all the bad stuff from too warm raw food will hopefully be cooked off leaving you with a new and improved taste to your favorite meal.
Rt158312th June, 2012 @ 05:45 am PDT
This is a singularly stupid use of technology and money. People who can calmly pay 15 large$ for a "cooker", ( somehow the word "stove" may not be used), can just call their live illegal housekeeper to either make something or order takeout.
Fridges with interior cameras and network connections so it can email you a note to buy milk, stoves with remote controls that will get mislaid and be annoying to use, are examples of tech usage that defies common sense. Think about misuse opportunities.
Angry spouses, ex-wives, boyfriends-girlfirends, clever teenagers pranking the parent units by delaying or accelerating cooking, etc.
Not every possible bright idea is all that bright.

The Jelling Monuments
Jelling is home to Europe's finest Viking-Age monuments: Denmark's two largest grave mounds and two runic stones erected by the kings Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth in the eighth century. In 1994, the royal monuments and Jelling Church came under the patronage of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The 10-meter northern mound, presumed to have been built by King Harald Bluetooth, contained a wooden burial chamber in which the king's father, Gorm the Old, had been entombed. The 70-meter southern mound is not actually believed to have been a burial site.
The church sits between the two mounds and has an underground burial chamber.
The smallest of the two large rune stones in front of the church was erected around 940-50 AD by Gorm the Old in honour of his queen, Thyra. The runic inscription reads: "Gorm the Old made this monument in honour of his wife, Thyra, the flower of Denmark". This is the oldest known reference to the name of the nation.
The inscription on the larger of the two rune stones, erected by Harald Bluetooth, reads: "King Harald made this monument in honour of Gorm, his father, and Thyra, his mother. Harald who won Denmark – in entirety – and Norway and who brought Christianity to the Danes."
The two rune stones, together with the church and the two grave mounds, are evidence of the transition from paganism to Christianity in Denmark and the change from Norse burial traditions to those of Christian religious practice.
The Royal Jelling visitor's centre relates the inspiring story of the royal monuments, their origin and significance.

Veterinary Care Jackie Gai, DVM Dr. Gai began working with PAWS in 2001. She is dedicated to providing excellent quality, compassionate veterinary care to all of PAWS' animals and spends a minimum of two days a week on site. She is on call for emergencies 24/7, and is an integral part of PAWS' animal care and management team. Dr. Gai was the head veterinarian for the Micke Grove Zoo from 2002-2009, and has also been providing veterinary care to sanctuaries, wildlife rehabilitation centers, and select private clients in northern California since 2001. Dr. Gai with Nicholas A Message From Dr. Gai "Sanctuary," by definition, is a place of refuge and protection. PAWS exists to provide sanctuary to elephants and other animals, many of whom have spent the majority of their lives serving humans' desire for entertainment. We have never refused to accept an animal because of illness, and we are wholeheartedly committed to providing a safe, healthy, nurturing environment for every animal that comes to PAWS. This commitment includes a program of excellent veterinary care throughout the life of the animal, no matter what health problems may arise. PAWS also has a tremendous commitment to the health and safety of staff and visitors to the sanctuary. Our quarantined Asian elephants are housed separately from all other elephants, and strict biosecurity protocols are used in these areas to protect both elephants and people. Written policy prohibits visitors from entering quarantine areas. Our African elephants, as well as Nicholas the Asian bull, are housed separately from the quarantine area, and these elephants have consistently tested negative for tuberculosis. PAWS consistently meets or exceeds industry standards for disease testing and biosecurity. We work closely with State and local Departments of Public Health, the California Department of Fish and Game, and the United States Department of Agriculture to ensure that our protocols are sound. Representatives from all of these agencies have visited us, reviewed our procedures, and all have expressed confidence in our level of care. One of these agencies was so highly complimentary of our protocols, that they asked us if they could use them to help rewrite their own protocols. As PAWS' veterinarian, I am proud of the care that our animals receive, and I am also impressed with the organization's commitment to the health and safety of visitors and staff.

Occupy the B.C.S.
To the ever-growing list of life's certainties—death, taxes, fourth-quarter comebacks by Tim Tebow—we can now add annual complaints about college football's Bowl Championship Series. Last night, a panel of human voters, prone, as a species, to mistakes, and computers, prone, as devices, to a lack of emotion, selected Louisiana State and Alabama as title-game opponents. This means we will get to watch the Game of the Century again, two months after the last one, even if the first one, in which no one scored a touchdown, barely registered as the Game of the Evening.

bienvenu ici ! J'aime beaucoup les vaisseaux dans les décors de SF, ce sont mes images préférés. C'est en même temps dommage je trouve que ce soit les boulots les moins personnels, les plus réussis je trouve mais ceux dont on sent le moins ta patte à toi. Bon on est dans le domaine du concept donc c'est pas important peut être, mais défois ça demanderais ptetre à être renouvelé, quelques choses de révolutionnaires au niveau du style. Parceque sans vouloir te vexer, on en voit partout ^^ surtout ici
Enfin ça n'empêche pas que il y a un super niveau, que ça démonte sa mémé !
For people who do not speak french, i was trying to say, there a great level in his work, lot of great pictures, but not enough personnal style. But it's probably very very good for conceptual works !
Really awesome work. Those environmentals are just inspiring. I honestly don't even have a clue how you make them? Is it in photoshop?
Thank you Axel, I admit for now i have not really personal style I try to learn observing different artists on web, but i try to improve this side to my work.
UmpaArt thank you, yes it's photoshop and sometime alchemy to charac.

Hey, beautiful stuff man!
The only flaw that pops up is depth, which might want to be improved in some of your environments.
J'étais sur d'avoir déjà posté ici... De très bon tafs en tt cas!
Bne Année en avance! ; )
(si t'as msn j'serais heureux de faire connaissance! Pm si tu veux)
Really solid work! Keep it up!
Pretty sweet! Have you tried joining in with some of the community activities on the forum? Its good practice and you can gauge how far or close you are to your ultimate goal.
really cool work man!

nice !
Je connaissais la plupart de tes boulots sur cfsl ;-) et je t'avais déjà donné mon avis dessus ... mais les MT O_o !!!! alors là c'est une tuerie ! vraiment tu m'as scotché, c'est différents de ce que tu fais d'habitude (techniquement parlant) et pourtant il y a une grosse maitrise, ça a de la patate, du style ... ça file direct dans mes favs, donc je veux en voir plus Kaïro !!!
Kario, you have some cool work. I especially like the Mobile Tanker images for the graphic style, and your fighter jet paintings for the value usage.
I agree with the comments about personal style and depth. Just keep on working and your own style will present itself! Regarding depth, maybe play around with more opaque brushes and rely more on picking values like you did in the jet studies. Also, I think doing those small black and white studies will help a ton as well. There is a concept called notan that I recently learned about, and it seems to help a lot with spatial organization.
Good work so far!
Nice concepts! Liked specially the airplanes!
Merl1n: you're right, I need to improve again and again about depht.
Souf: Merci dude, your last dragon is not bad too.

Relapse-free Drug Rehab is Possible
A struggle with an addiction can be very difficult to overcome. It is nearly impossible to break an addiction without the assistance of a professional rehabilitation center. There are many different approaches to overcome substance abuse, such as outpatient centers, residential centers, detox approaches, holistic techniques, and so on. Life with an addiction can be like being on a treadmill, impossible to get off without falling down. The addictions threaten the health of the addict and can ruin personal relationships, careers and family relationships. Addicts are also often unwilling to admit that they need help, and may even resist attempts to intervene. The best help may actually come from efforts to intervene by people closely tied to the individual with the addiction. Unfortunately, many rehab programs have poor success rates. Many substance abusers have relapses and become indifferent to further treatment. By means of special techniques including holistic approaches, the best drug treatment centers claim high success rates. The Drug Treatment Center Facilities have much higher success rates compared to many, so they are worthwhile of further investigation.
Drug addicts admitted to rehab programs are often suffering from multiple substance abuses and for them the best option is the administration of the optimum approach specific to the type of substances to which they are addicted. Some common specific addiction paths handle addiction to drugs such as crystal meth, Vicodin, marijuana, cocaine and even alcohol, the everyday legal non-prescription drug that is just as harmful when abused to the point of physical addiction.
Residency rehab programs, such as these Drug Treatment Center Facilities, where the addict remains inside the facility day and night and hence avoids the psychological triggers that are present in their own lifestyle and environment, are the most likely to reach a permanent state of rehabilitation, although outpatient programs are also available. After release, follow-up sessions can be used to strengthen their will to remain free from the abused substances and return to a productive life.

A breathing space over this long hot weekend, no idea what happens in the morning. Staying in the day. The government has called for an end to the protests that have turned violent and criminal, but so far no wage agreements have been reached, so the rioting could resume tomorrow. How I long for those long dull days when nothing much happens.
All the same, life does go on and I'm sitting with a mug of green tea reading all about the rise of the self-help industry, a phenomenon about which I feel ambivalent, the nuggets of common sense and wisdom mixed in with the vapid or narcissistic. What has happened in AA over the course of six or seven decades? What would BillW not recognise if he walked into a downtown New York meeting on a cold January evening in 2013? An article with a great title: How Self-Help Publishing Ate America:
The New Age was really a revival of what had once been called New Thought: a religious movement spawned in the primordial soup of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sigmund Freud, and William James that preached the flip side of the Protestant work ethic: faith above works and a belief in one's unlimited capacities on Earth. The new New Thought was the perfect religion for the Me Decade, a reality-show version of spirituality in which the meaning of life is to unleash the inner superstar.
You might date the final triumph of New Thought over mid-century pragmatism to the relocation of Harper & Row's venerable religious division. In 1977, the old Protestant imprint moved to New Age–soaked San Francisco, land of Esalen, yoga, est, and Human Potential. Nine years later, it partnered with the Hazelden clinic to publish Melody Beattie's Codependent No More. Suddenly, the jargon of AA became the jargon of the USA. Linda Loewenthal, who led self-help beacon Harmony Books, calls the recovery boom "my awakening to the power of naming something." And, actually, "recovery" named everything, defining every problem as a personal illness to be conquered—toxic parents, women who love too much, obesity, excessive shopping, and above all "codependency," which could potentially encompass any human relationship.
We learn and then unlearn, start over, as old certainties and paradigms shift and lose ground. What is conflated and what is not included, what is normal and what increasingly is defined as abnormal or illness. So many new hypotheses, so many questions about the power of naming. How much we are learning about the brain, about neuroscience and the nature of human impulses and motivations and neural pathways, synapses misfiring. From The Edge:
Maybe a lot of the neurons in our brains are not just capable but, if you like, motivated to be more adventurous, more exploratory or risky in the way they comport themselves, in the way they live their lives. They're struggling amongst themselves with each other for influence, just for staying alive, and there's competition going on between individual neurons. As soon as that happens, you have room for cooperation to create alliances, and I suspect that a more free-wheeling, anarchic organization is the secret of our greater capacities of creativity, imagination, thinking outside the box and all that, and the price we pay for it is our susceptibility to obsessions, mental illnesses, delusions and smaller problems.
We got risky brains that are much riskier than the brains of other mammals even, even more risky than the brains of chimpanzees, and that this could be partly a matter of a few simple mutations in control genes that release some of the innate competitive talent that is still there in the genomes of the individual neurons. But I don't think that genetics is the level to explain this. You need culture to explain it.
This, I speculate, is a response to our invention of culture; culture creates a whole new biosphere, in effect, a whole new cultural sphere of activity where there's opportunities that don't exist for any other brain tissues in any other creatures, and that this exploration of this space of cultural possibility is what we need to do to explain how the mind works.
And both the self-help mentality and the neuroscience of family history and genetics comes together in the Kennedys as archetypal American power moguls gone wrong. For those who haven't heard enough as yet from this curious troubled family, there's Susan Cheever in The Fix:
Patrick Kennedy: And I had the genetics. In 1969, when I began my drug use, it was an entirely different culture. We didn't know then what we know today. As a matter of fact, my parents did not have the ability or the information to really intervene in a meaningful way in my using. Things have evolved. Not so long ago, one of my kids presented with an anxiety disorder. Now I know, from this book, that as many as 70% of all people who present with an addiction also have a co-occurring mental illness. To complicate that—and this is where this book is different and new—not only do they present with a co-occurring mental disorder, but they often present with more than one! If you are an alcoholic and you show up at a treatment center, chances are that you might have a food disorder. You might smoke, have a sexual compulsivity or a gambling problem.
But sitting here in a strife-torn countryside, the problems are other and older lessons to do with morality or right ways of behaving and acting have not gone away. Despite secularism, we still need idealism, the transcendent,, we want the bigger picture, we hanker after hope. And the warmth of spring, the change of season.
From Louise Gluck's long poem Winter Morning:
In untrustworthy springtime
he was seen moving
among us like one of us
in green Judea, covered with the veil of life,
among the olive trees, among the many shapes
blurred by spring,
stopping to eat and rest, in obvious need,
among the thousand flowers,
some planted, some distributed by wind,
like all men, seeking
recognition on earth,
so that he spoke to the disciples
in a man's voice, lifting his intact hand:
was it the wind that spoke?
Or stroked Mary's hair, until she raised her eyes
no longer wounded
by his coldness, by his needless destruction
of the flesh which was her fulfillment—
This was not the sun.
This was Christ in his cocoon of light:
so they swore. And there were other witnesses
though they were all blind,
they were all swayed by love—
Winters are long here.
The road a dark gray, the maples gray, silvered with lichen,
and the sun low on the horizon,
white on blue; at sunset, vivid orange-red.
When I shut my eyes, it vanishes.
When I open my eyes, it reappears.
Outside, spring rain, a pulse, a film on the window.
And suddenly it is summer, all puzzling fruit and light.

In today's world going green has become less of a trend and more of a lifestyle, and it's no surprise that, with all of the pesticides and chemicals applied to wine grape crops in the USA, certain people find themselves craving a more natural grape juice.
If you're planning on hosting a birthday party, wedding, or holiday get together you may want to consider picking a green wine for the occasion. Even if your event isn't green in theme offering your guests a green wine is a healthy, earth-friendly thing to do.
Here are two types of wine that are both Earth and body friendly:
Organic wines containing organic ingredients from farms and vineyards that have refrained from using herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified seeds (usually for at least three years) have become very popular over the last few years. However, there are three different types of organic wines. Certain organic wines are classified as 100% Organic, meaning it has been processed without synthetic agents and contain no added sulfites (preservatives, made from diluted mined sulfur that prevent oxidation and bacterial spoilage). Other organic wines may only be 95% organic, while wines 'Made with Organic Grapes' or 'Organic Ingredients' are usually 70% organic, containing some sulfites.
Biodynamic is based on the precise observation and an attempt at balance of nature. Seen by some people as the first modern ecological farming system, as well as one of the most sustainable, biodynamic farming has much in common with other organic approaches, such as emphasizing the use of manures and composts and excluding the use of artificial chemicals on soil and plants. Some biodynamic farmers claim to have achieved improvements in the health of their vineyards, specifically in the areas, crop nutrition, soil fertility, and weed and disease management.
While biodynamic wines are becoming much more widely available as it is not only 100% organic, but the grower has gone beyond to try to bring the farming process more closely in tune with nature. For instance, biodynamic wine growers may make their own compost and/or watch the stars and planets to time what they do.
Choosing between organic and biodynamic wine is a decision based more on personal preference than anything, as wine's labeled 100% Organic generally reduce sulfite content to a minimum, while biodynamic wine will have low-sulfites and be cultivated according to the most wide-ranging sustainability standards.
As far as presenting your organic or biodynamic wine Splendids.com offers a wide selection of fine stemware,wholesale wine glasses and champagne glasses in bulk, as well as dinner plates and bowls, perfect for home entertaining, restaurants, bars and pubs, reception halls, workplace kitchens, and much more.
You can also have these wine glasses personalized with your custom logo here at Salina Glass

Another thing that pisses me off is that Chris was the only player willing to come on the site, and he gave some pretty good insight into what was happening on the inside.

Sep 11, 2013Nothing beats the glamour of being collected from Venice airport by your own private motor launch and then taken to this exceptional island hotel. During warmer months, make sure to take dinner at least once on the outdoor terrace.

One of the most luxurious hotels in the world this hotel is an oasis situated a quick 5 minute boat ride from St. Mark's Sq. The decor is typically grand palace, the amenities and services are as expected, top of the line. Do not miss the opportunity to have dinner at the restaurant. Gorgeous views of Venice.

Jul 05, 2012Visiting Venice is already a magical, otherworldly experience, but staying at the Hotel Cipriani takes it to an entirely new level. Just five minutes away from Piazza San Marco, Hotel Cipriani sits on an island all by itself, already setting it apart from the other great Venetian hotels. The original Cipriani property, this hotel is more quietly elegant than the newer Cipriani establishments and has a very old-world feeling, without sacrificing any of the modern comforts and amenities one expects at a hotel of this caliber. The bright blue swimming pool is heaven in the summer, when Venice becomes incredibly hot and Cipriani is the only hotel in Venice proper with a pool on the premises. I adore this hotel and I would tell even the fussiest traveler to stay here.

text: Just wanted to everyone a heads up on our status. At the end of this billing cycle we will no longer be sponsors on AM . This is based strictly on a business decision. For us to remain competitive with online stores of our size, we must have PH's listed. We all know this is not allowed on AM, so therefore we have made what we think is a good move to not sponsor here and re-list our PH's, which some of you here have inquired about and purchased from us. We have had many request and questions on where some of the listings went to. We do still intend on being a part of this board. Thanks to all of you that purchased from us in our short time here and we look forward to serving you all in the future.

Today, I'm incredibly proud to announce to launch of Season 2 of The Leviathan Chronicles. This is a huge day that is over two years in the making as the team and I have worked hard to push the boundaries of audio drama forward, and continue the immortal saga of Leviathan. Season 2 will be released in two parts, and unlike previous seasons, you get all the episodes NOW!
The Director's Cut of Season 2 is now available for purchase here! Buy it now and get the first 13 episodes in Season 2, including one hour of exclusive BONUS storyline that won't appear in the podcast. You can now listen to the first half of Season 2 at all at once, and not have to wait weeks between episode releases.
Season 2 picks up just moments after the dramatic conclusion of Season 1. Evangeline is in a coma after Bennu's vicious attack. Macallan and Anton must now deal with the power vacuum within Leviathan as the city continues to self-destruct due to the deadly computer virus infecting the city's AI. Tulley and Oberlin are reunited in Tibet, but must now grapple with being separated from the women they love, while being hunted by the Yakuza for the financial debt they owe. And Seinshun has now joined forces with The Blackdoor Group to find the aliens that are now trapped somewhere on Earth. But the aliens are harboring a secret that could destroy Leviathan, and the rest of humanity.
Please support us by purchasing The Director's Cut of Season 2 for $19.99 and listening to the most explosive episodes that we've ever produced. In addition, Season 2 (as well as our Special Edition Episodes) can now be gifted to your friends!

D.C. Council votes on changes to gun law changes
Tuesday - 3/6/2012, 2:35pm  ET
WASHINGTON - The D.C. Council has given preliminary approval to a bill that would roll back some rules for possessing a gun in the District of Columbia.
The D.C. Council voted Tuesday in favor of the bill. The changes in the bill include eliminating a vision test as well as ballistics testing and a ban on some types of ammunition.
Rules about gun ownership in Washington are still being adjusted as a result of the 2008 Supreme Court decision that ended a 32-year-old handgun ban in the nation's capital.
The bill approved Tuesday does not change registration requirements. It will get a final vote before being sent to the mayor for his approval.
