Max Winkler, Son of Henry, Channels His Impetuous Inner Child for 'Ceremony'
Inspired by his father Henry, who turned to directing and producing after his run as Fonzie ended in 1984, Max Winkler spent his childhood with a camera in hand, constantly filming home movies and, in the process, honing the directorial skills he puts to appreciable use in his feature debut, Ceremony, opening Friday at the Lumiere.
Did Winkler, 27, hope to follow in the Fonz's footsteps? Not exactly. As a preteen, he entertained thoughts of acting, even making a brief appearance in Henry's 1993 family comedy Cop and a Half. Yet Max soon discovered his comfort zone behind the camera, where, as he puts it, he felt more focused, more in control.

text: The Pala kings of northeastern India sponsored the construction and sculptural decoration of numerous Buddhist and Hindu temples during their stable and prosperous dynasty (730-1200). This image of Vishnu, the god of preservation, originally adorned the walls of such a temple complex. The erect Vishnu on a lotus pedestal symbolizes the axis of the universe; he is flanked here by his principal consorts, Lakshmi and Sarasvati. The deity's four hands hold his traditional attributes: the mace, sun disk (cakra), conch, and lotus blossom. Worshipful devotees are shown at the base, while across the background arch appear the ten incarnations of Vishnu, each reflecting a different form the god assumed in rescuing the world from evil. In the background are various animals and mythical creatures, such as elephants, lions, and makaras. Near the top, the masklike "face of glory" signals spiritual security for the devotee.

Sherwood T90 Undercover Matte Junior Hockey Stick

Sherwood T90 Undercover Matte Junior Hockey Stick
Key Features- Senior weight: 475g
- Length: 52"
- The advanced one-piece spear shaft construction with high kickpoint design allows complete energy loading for explosive slap shots and one-timers. With a stiffer taper area, the shaft flexes in the middle for complete energy loading and release as the player fully leans into his shots.
- The concave sidewall along with square radius geometry is specifically engineered by SHER-WOOD to ensure the most secure grip. It is ergonomically designed to naturally fit your hands, This ensures the player's hands won't twist when taking a shot.
- The blade has a light high-density foam core that dampens high frequency shocks providing the player with more comfort and greater feel for the puck.
- The expanded blade profile reduces the torsion moving down the shaft while high modulus carbon fiber reinforcement increases blade stiffness, thus providing unmatched accuracy.
- The player can cut his stick anywhere in the top four inches of the shaft without affecting the flex of the stick. Better engineered materials combined with a state of the art components have allowed SHER-WOOD to pioneer this industry-leading technology.
- The shaft runs through the heel of the stick and is constantly in contact with both the ice and the puck, giving the player a tangible feeling for the puck, and increased control.
- The traditional joint between the shaft and blade is eliminated which leads to less weight in the blade area. This improves the balance of the stick, giving you the light, natural feel that pro players demand. Never again will a stick feel bottom-heavy in your hands.

After an unexpected burst of hot weather in late January, the 2009 vintage settled down to provide one of the best ripening seasons of the last decade. The 2009 Mort's Block Riesling is an intense, racy wine that showcases the strength of Clare Valley with this varietal. Green apple, lemon blossom and bath salts dominate the nose. The taut palate shows grapefruit and lemon pith with a stony mineral edge and crisp, natural acidity. While irresistable now, this wine will age beautifully for 10+ years, developing toasty, honeyed characters.
"A flowery bouquet leads into an elegant and fine palate, with flavours of lime, lemon and green apple neatly tied together with crisp acidity. " 94 Points Australian Wine Companion
"Tight, bright and refreshing for its lime-scented apple and floral flavors that don't quit on the zingy finish. Drink now through 2019. 500 cases imported." 91 Points Wine Spectator
"The winery has always excelled with Riesling from the Clare Valley. The 2009 Mort's Block Riesling is light straw-colored with a splendid nose of mineral, spring flowers, lemon-lime and other citrus aromas that jump from the glass. Just off-dry (1.4g/L RS), it is reminiscent of a high quality Mosel Kabinett. It will evolve for 5-6 years and drink well through 2021. " 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"2009 Clare Valley Mort's Block Watervale Riesling This Watervale riesling has a richness of texture, along with complex scents of orange blossom, lime, lemongrass and honey. The flavors come in layers across the palate, clean and mouthwatering. For Cantonese seafood dishes, such as clams with black bean sauce. " 91 Points Wine & Spirits
"Pale, green-tinged yellow. Lively aromas of lemon zest, mint and chalk are complemented by white pepper and quinine. Dusty, sharply focused citrus and herb flavors gain sweetness in the mid-palate, showing deeper tangerine and pear nuances. The brisk finish features a strong echo of spicy herbs. I find this extremely easy to drink." 90 Points International Wine Cellar

Local view: Vikings stadium was, and still is, a strategic opportunity for Duluth
The case for Duluth as the new home for a Vikings stadium was and is a compelling one. Aside from the obvious historical roots with the Duluth Eskimos, the team credited with saving the NFL in the 1920s, there has been real value in making the effort, value many seemed to miss.By: Joe Reasbeck, Duluth News Tribune
The case for Duluth as the new home for a Vikings stadium was and is a compelling one. Aside from the obvious historical roots with the Duluth Eskimos, the team credited with saving the NFL in the 1920s, there has been real value in making the effort, value many seemed to miss.
Like Butler University, which reportedly reaped more than $639 million in publicity during last year's NCAA basketball tournament, Duluth has grabbed priceless attention. Simply from making the proposal, Duluth landed on NFL fan websites nationwide, and the story was carried in several international newspapers. The Toronto Sun even made it sound like, despite the distance, Duluth had a real shot because of our historical ties to the NFL. How many people worldwide went and looked up Duluth on Google as a result? Duluth can't buy that kind of publicity. And let's not forget the impact of the panoramic images of Lake Superior and the Twin Ports harbor that were sent out to the world via the NFL.
Some leaders in Duluth were skeptical the community could come up with local funding for a stadium; they determined the project wasn't viable in Duluth.
However, considering the site targeted was 500 acres, perhaps we could have been thinking bigger than just a stadium. Perhaps we still need to.
What if there were private sources of capital involved? How about the stadium, or some other development, as an anchor tenant to a larger entertainment complex with technology underpinnings?
We've known for some time the Twin Ports is being evaluated for large enterprise-sized data centers, potentially billion-dollar builds in their own right. Mayor Don Ness advocated for such on public radio. I think one of the questions we should be asking is how we could involve these companies into some sort of joint project. Today, modern stadiums, and other potential users of our open land, have increasingly robust needs for high-speed Internet and data processing. As we switch to Internet protocol delivery of media, these needs will escalate.
And tech companies have idle cash. Apple has $100 billion, Google $50 billion, Cisco $48 billion, Microsoft $52 billion, Intel $15 billion, IBM $12 billion, Oracle $32 billion, and the list continues. If we put together the right pitch, any of these companies could stroke the check.
Especially if we could add a green component to the effort; Google, in particular, is making considerable investments in green applications and green, carbon-neutral data centers. Such environmentally friendly projects would tie in nicely with high-speed rail to Duluth.
It should be noted that this winter Manitoba emerged as possibly being interested in investing with Minnesota to connect Winnipeg (metro population of 750,000) and Minneapolis (metro population of 3.3 million) via a Northern Lights Express-like, high-speed rail project. Such a link would, in essence, provide the beginnings of a high-speed, transcontinental rail network. Imagine Duluth to Winnipeg as the international connection and the Twin Ports metro as the hub.
If we are to assume the Vikings are an asset to the state and the building of a billion-
dollar stadium is an effort to maximize the benefit of this statewide asset, then Duluth has a very persuasive argument for maximizing the strategic placement of that investment, even if Minneapolis is the front-runner.
A green-tech Vikings stadium in Duluth could be a catalyst and linchpin to a successful high-speed rail route between Duluth and the Twin Cities. The possibility of that potent combination would be enticing to a green data center investment from Google and other like-minded tech companies.
As we push deeper into the transition to mobile computing and the cloud, Google is very aware it must continue to add substance to its reputation as an environmentally friendly company. It wouldn't be a stretch to involve Google in a green stadium and green transportation package.
Put the pieces together.
Granted, it takes vision and planning, but the benefits to Duluth and the state of Minnesota could be massive. There has been real value to the effort so far — and there still is.

FAR HILLS, N.J. – The United States Golf Association today announced that Michael Cumberpatch, of Annapolis, Md., a tireless contributor to the game on local and national levels for 20 years, will be the recipient of the 2014 Joe Dey Award.
The USGA has presented the Joe Dey Award annually since 1996 in recognition of an individual's meritorious service to the game as a volunteer. The award is named for Joseph C. Dey Jr., who served as the USGA's executive director for 35 years, from 1934 to 1969, before serving as the first commissioner of the PGA Tour.
"To be honored like this is pretty special, and to be honest I was floored when I heard the news," said Cumberpatch. "It has been a lot of fun over the years to work alongside all the volunteers throughout the USGA who do so much for the game of golf. They are just really good, solid people and to be associated with them and be part of so many great championships has meant a lot to me."
Cumberpatch has been affiliated with the USGA since 1993, when he joined the Association's Regional Affairs Committee. Over the ensuing years he has worked at 20 USGA championships, including the U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, U.S. Mid-Amateur and Men's State Team Championships. Since 1999, he has also served as the official-in-charge of U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying for the Washington, D.C., region.
"The impact of Mike's volunteerism extends well beyond the exemplary service he has provided to the USGA," said USGA Executive Director Mike Davis. "He is truly devoted to the game, and has used golf as a vehicle to help people in his community and all over the country. He personifies all of the attributes that Joe Dey Award winners are known for."
Cumberpatch is a past president of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, where he earned recognition for his efforts to bring together neighboring golf associations and for instilling a sense of community with USGA committee members in the region. The Middle Atlantic PGA Section presented him with the David Wortman Citizen of the Year Award in 2009.
Beyond his dedication to the USGA and regional golf activities, Cumberpatch has provided extraordinary volunteer service to other organizations, including the U.S. Armed Forces. He has overseen the collection and distribution of golf equipment to active military forces serving overseas and to troops who have recently returned home. In 2009 alone, he joined members of the Maryland State Golf Association and the U.S. Naval Academy Golf Club in procuring three tons of golf supplies – including 50,000 golf balls and 250 clubs – and delivering them to the 82nd Airborne Division based at Ft. Bragg, N.C., for distribution to soldiers serving overseas.
"I cannot say enough about the character, effort and overall devotion to duty that Michael Cumberpatch displays," said 2002 Joe Dey Award winner Clyde Luther. "I have known literally hundreds of golf volunteers and I have never been associated with a more devoted and sincere individual than Mike."
Cumberpatch will receive the Joe Dey Award on Feb. 8, 2014, at the USGA's Annual Meeting and Service Awards at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in the Village of Pinehurst, N.C. The newly created Service Awards dinner consolidates the presentation of many of the USGA's most significant honors into a single, inspiring event, highlighting the people and organizations whose selfless dedication and outstanding accomplishments have made an important impact on the USGA and its mission to serve the game. In addition to the Joe Dey Award, the Ike Grainger Award, USGA Green Section Award and Herbert Warren Wind Book Award will be presented at the dinner. The presentation of the USGA's most distinguished honor, the Bob Jones Award, will be delivered at a public ceremony during the week of the 2014 U.S. Open Championship at Pinehurst.
"Golf has always been very fortunate to have the involvement and support of so many dedicated people who want to give back to the game, to their communities and to important causes," added Davis. "Volunteer leadership is a powerful force that helps advance our mission to serve the game of golf, and celebrating the contributions of all our award winners at one time is going to make for a very special evening."
Michael Cumberpatch began playing golf at a young age, and was team captain and MVP of the American University golf team in 1976. He competed in both the British Amateur and Western Amateur championships in 1978 and in the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship and Canadian Amateur Championship in 1984. He is a five-time club champion at the Sherwood Forest Golf Club in Annapolis, Md., and a four-time club champion at the U.S. Naval Academy Golf Club, where he has also served multiple terms as president of the men's association.
Cumberpatch and his wife, Lynn, live in the Annapolis area with their two children. He currently works as a substitute middle-school teacher in the Anne Arundel County, Md., school system.


text: UN-HABITAT is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all. An important part of UN-HABITAT's mandate involves contributing to secure tenure for the urban poor,urban land delivery for housing, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To fulfill this part of the agency's mandate, UN-HABITAT proposes the establishment of a global network (hereafter referred to as the "Global Network" or the "Network") to develop pro-poor land tools related to urban land and secure tenure. It is envisaged that this Network will improve land-related knowledge management, with a focus on urban land law, land tenure, land management and administration, and related gender impacts and issues. The Network would both undertake research and develop relevant tools for implementation that advance the Habitat Agenda.

Thread: Angelina or Evangeline?
June 28th, 2013 02:56 PM #16
Och, how was it?! I have been trying to get my hands on a copy of Evangeline for probably over 10 years now! I don't suppose it would be that hard to get a hold of, lol, but I really am not that into poetry, and ONLY want to buy Evangeline, not a whole book of poetry by Longfellow or something. That's the main appeal of Evangeline for me, as well (besides the religious connotations!). I think Evangeline is lovely--it by far gets my vote! I do like Angelina, but nowhere near as much as Evangeline. I can't help but think of Angelina Jolie and Angelina Ballerina with Angelina. :/ Still a beautiful name, though!
twenty-something name lover dreaming of adoption.

I am really not a fan of either. I really don't care for Angelina. It is a little too Ballerina for me. Plus, I dislike Angie which could happen. Evangeline is a little better but not my style either.

I'm not a fan of Evangeline. It's a bit harsh. Angelina is beautiful, and I love the nn Angie!

I dislike Evangeline a lot because of the strong religious connotations with evangelicals and such. Angelina isn't my thing, either, what with the celebrity connection, but I still prefer it.

I love Evangeline. Such a beautiful, exotic name. I know it's popular with Berries, but I have never heard it used in real life.

To sustain and enhance innovation in our country, we need leaders who can routinely innovate solutions to complex, ill-defined problems. I study and design collective intelligence systems to support innovation.
Practically, I draw from my professional experience as a designer, social scientist, and manager. Theoretically, I draw from her academic training in social psychology, organizational behavior, design, and social computing.
As the Allen K. and Johnnie Cordell Breed Junior Professor of Design at Northwestern University, Faculty Founder of Design for America, and co-director of the Delta Lab, I write about human computer interaction, design, and innovation.
My current research focuses on understanding collective intelligence systems that support problem solving, decision making, and social impact. This work brings a unique perspective of contemporary practices such as crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, brainstorming, and prototyping, etc. – and provides a strong foundation for designing engaging social environments that promote innovation and leadership.
I received my doctoral and master's degrees in Management Science and Engineering and Product Design from Stanford, my bachelor's degree from Dartmouth, and have worked professionally as a designer.
To support my mission of amplifying innovation in our country, I am actively designing a new national collaborative innovation initiative called Design for America. Design for America students and mentors tackle local innovation projects with social impact. Design for America has been featured in outlets such as Fast Company, Oprah, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The Chicago Tribune, and Crain's Businessweek. Currently, Design for America has 2500 members in its network across the country.
Prior to Design for America, I helped to develop the business and design initiative at the Stanford d.school.
I teach Design Thinking and Communication, and Human Centered Design, and Communication Design at the Segal Design Institute in the McCormick School of Engineering and in the School of Communication at Northwestern University.

Is this what happens when you blow a save in NY? Your bed goes missing? #toughtown pic.twitter.com/dEXjdqdcve
— David Aardsma (@TheDA53) August 3, 2013
David Aardsma nearly lost the game for the New York Mets on Friday night. The reliever entered the game in the 9th inning with a 2-1 lead and allowed the Kansas City Royals to tie it up, resulting in a blown save. Fortunately, the Mets won anyway on a walk-off homer from Eric Young Jr. in the 11th. But it didn't solve all of Aardsma's problems.
When Aardsma returned home after the game, he found that the bed had been removed from his bedroom in his apartment. Or, so he says.
Aardsma then went on to crack a couple of jokes about his bed going missing.
It's the city that never sleeps cause you bed randomly goes missing!
— David Aardsma (@TheDA53) August 3, 2013
Night y'all, get em tomorrow. And the bed!
— David Aardsma (@TheDA53) August 3, 2013
I'm not really sure what the hell is going on here, to be honest. Would someone break into Aardsma's apartment just to steal his bed and call it a day? My guess is he knows what happened to it, but he saw it as an opportunity to screw with people. If he wanted us to be puzzled, mission accomplished.
And if someone really did steal Aardsma's bed, maybe that will teach him to not mock other pitchers who blow saves.

I have created various symbols to be placed into drawings when required, rather than having to re-create the same sketch everytime the drawing is produced.
When I place the symbol I am given the option to select where to insert it, based on the insertion point.
The problem is... once the symbol is placed there is no way (that I can figure out) to constrain to the view or dimension to it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Surely there has to be a way...
I don't know of any way to do what you are asking, if I understand correctly.
Could you post an example of what you are trying to do?
Thank You for your reply. I have attached a step-by-step that hopefully better explains what I am trying to do.
Thanks again.
As far as I know, you can only attach the leader to an object in a view, there is no way to specify an offset or dimension the sketched symbol.
Maybe you can do what you want with sketch blocks?
The only solution I could come up with is to do your symbol in Autocad as a block, then add a sketch to the view you want the symbol on and insert the Autocad block into the sketch.
Then you should be able to dimension from geometry projected from the view to the Autocad block.
Just a thought.
Good luck!
Hi codyc-9096,
Unless I'm misunderstanding, you should be able to define Insert and Connection point for your symbols to assist with this. You can add sketch points, or use existing endpoint of lines for this.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Did you find this reply helpful ? If so please use the Accept as Solution or Kudos button below.
I am not familiat with Sketch Blocks, but just read through the wiki help on them...
I am not sure how that would help me, as I am looking to show the symbol in the drawing... unless I am not understanding it correctly.
I will try out your suggestion with the AutoCAD block.
I have tried your suggestion... those "grips" are only used for the insertion and selecting of the symbol.
They do not allow you to dimension to or constrain to these points.
I was thinking you might be able to use a sketch block on a sketch attached to the drawing view, but I see that is not an option.

Eating in restaurants can be expensive. It's estimated that each American spends an average of $2,620 a year eating out. Roughly 93% of consumers enjoy eating out, and the restaurant industry takes in a 47% share of all food-dollar expenditures. But you don't have to spend a fortune at restaurants this year. Try these tips to help you save money while dining out.
Choose the right time of day
If you are looking to try out the newest restaurant in town, try going for lunch instead of dinner. Or try heading there at happy hour. Dining during off-peak hours can save you money while still allowing you to try new dishes. Not only do some restaurants offer buy-one-get-one-free deals on beverages during happy hour, they also typically have specials on food. There are even apps for your mobile device, such as Savored, that advertise the discounts some restaurants offer during off-peak hours.
Look for deals
Many restaurants offer promotions through various deal-of-the-day websites. Groupon, for example, offers vouchers that can save you 50% to 90% off your meal. The trick with Groupon is making sure you use the deal before it expires. Also, if your chosen restaurant has more than one location in your city, make sure the deal you buy is valid at the location you want to visit.
There's also restaurants.com, which offers discounted gift certificates. Such gift certificates are good at a range of restaurants, though you typically may use only one certificate per restaurant per month.
Check in
If you have a smartphone, you can use social networking apps like Yelp and Foursquare to "check in" at locations. Both allow you to search for deals nearby, which may influence your dining decisions. And as an added bonus, many restaurants offer discounts to those who check in. Just mention it to your server.
If you're a frequent restaurant-goer, OpenTable is another option. OpenTable allows you to accumulate points for making (and keeping, of course) reservations through its website. Once you have accumulated 2,000 points, you are able to claim a $20 gift voucher for its network of restaurants. While most reservations earn around 100 points, you can search for some that are worth 1,000 points.
Bring your own bottle
Wine and other alcoholic beverages are often marked up as much as two to three times their wholesale value, meaning the restaurant is making a pretty penny on your $11 glass of pinot noir. Surprisingly, many restaurants mark up their cheapest bottles of wine the most. One method for saving on wine is by calling ahead to see if you can bring your own bottle. Some restaurants will allow you to do this, but they may charge a corkage fee. By researching the corkage fee, which can be as much as $20 per bottle, you can price out how much you'll spend on a bottle of wine.
Share a plate
Portions at restaurants tend to be a lot larger than anything you would consume at home. Many people find ordering a meal overwhelming because they want both an appetizer and a main course. If you're out with friends, opt for sharing both. That way you can try both items without having too much food, plus you get to share the costs when the bill arrives.
The bottom line
Eating in restaurants can be costly, but if you pay attention to the small ways you can trim your bill, the cost becomes more manageable. By sharing food, scouring websites and paying attention to the time of day you go out to eat, you may be able to cut your bill by as much as half.

Labor Relations Today
@LRToday Morning Round-Up: February 11, 2013
Striking Bus Drivers Rally at City Hall: NY1 News reports that over 1,000 New York City school bus drivers and matrons assembled in front of City Hall yesterday afternoon, calling on Mayor Bloomberg's office to become involved in the now four-week old strike.
"We're here today for our job protection, our job security. This is what we need," said a member of ATU Local 1181. "We've been having it for 33 years. We need this. If not, we won't have a job."
Union members first began picketing almost a month ago to demand job protection language in any new labor deal. However, the city has maintained that such job protection language is illegal and has further called for the drivers to negotiate directly with the private companies that hire them.
Saginaw Police Negotiations at Impasse: Mark Tower of MLive reports that negotiations between the city of Saginaw and the local Police Officer's union over a new contract have broken down. City staff have told local media that there are no new meetings scheduled between the two parties. However, leaders in neighboring cities have encouraged the parties to get back to the table.
"Get the unions involved," [Pontiac Mayor Leon] Jukowski said. "It's going to be much easier if this is something that is negotiated."
The talks began last year in an effort to close a $3.2 million budget shortfall before July, 2013. We will keep you posted as the situation develops further.
More and More Unions Popping Up at Charter Schools: AFT News writes that three new unions have won recognition at charter schools in New York State, Los Angeles, and Detroit. The Detroit election occurred on February 7, 2013, and was the first union victory since the National Labor Relations Board ruled that charter schools should be considered private-sector employers for the purpose of collective bargaining.
The ballot outcome of the Feb. 7 election was 88 for the union, 39 opposed. Said Becky Wilinski, a middle school social studies teacher at Chavez Academy, "We are reminding Gov. Snyder that workers in Michigan still have the right to say 'union, yes!'"
The New York and Los Angeles unions received voluntary recognition after administrators received union petitions at both schools. This recent spate of union victories at charter schools across the country may be a sign of things to come in the wake of the Board's December ruling. We at @LRToday will certainly keep you posted.

January 6, 2014 - I bought 2; one for my daughter, and one for me. She loved it. Her dog is a rescue, as is mine.
January 5, 2014 - I bought this for a friend of mine who had adopted a dog from the shelter a couple of months after he had lost his dog that he had had for years. He was very depressed and finally decided that he was able to replace the one he had lost. I put the heart on a pull apart key chain and will give it to him when I see him.
January 3, 2014 - I purchased this for my daugher for Christmas because she is constantly saying her dog rescued her and came into her at a time in her life that she really needed him. The perfect gift for her and she was extremely happy - got the matching "I rescued a human" tag for his collar. Very happy with products!!!
January 3, 2014 - The chain I received was kinked up and tarnished. The size of the pendant is decent, but, am very sad that on a whole, this looks cheap. I just lost our precious dog, and was hoping for a nice gift to remember him by... SIGH... disappointed. :-(

Since it was introduced first in the late 18th century, homeopathy has been appreciated by some of world's most famous and respected individuals. Dr. Oz talks with Dana Ullman, author of The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy, about the basic principles behind this alternative form of medicine.
Homeopathic remedies are made from substances that, in undiluted form and in very small doses, cause symptoms similar to the disease or illness they aim to treat. "We find a medicine in nature that will mimic the symptoms of the body, that will mimic what efforts the body is trying to heal itself," Dana says. For example, he says homeopathic doses of arsenic can be used to treat the food poisoning-type symptoms caused by an arsenic overdose. While this logic is often cited as contradictory—and controversial—by conventional medical practitioners, Dana says it's a central part of homeopathy because symptoms are viewed as the body's effort to restore health, not as something "wrong" with the body. "Homeopathy is entirely based on augmenting the body's own immune and defense system, and it's the only system of medicine, ultimately, that respects the wisdom of the body and then seeks to mimic that wisdom," he says. |

Help & advice: Buying guide to lamps
Buying guide to lamps
Here's how to get the right lamps to transform any room and create a warm and wonderful atmosphere throughout your home. Light up your life with the Homebase range of lamps.
Creating a lighting scheme
Different styles of lamps obviously give you light for different activities but they can all help set the right mood for your room.
Table lamps
Want to create atmosphere or need focused light for specific activities? Table lamps are brilliant for both. From living rooms to bedrooms and hallways, they generate subtle, glowing pools of light in just the right areas. Quite simply they add welcome warmth and depth to any room.
It's easy to check if a lamp's right for a table. Simply sit next to the lamp, and the bottom of the shade should be no higher than your eye level. Any lamps you place between chairs should have thin or transparent bases. That way, lines of sight aren't blocked and your conversation can flow freely. And you might want to know...
- We sell complete lamps in a variety of fashionable styles, finishes and colours.
- We also offer lamp shades and bases separately so you can mix and match.
- Create a co-ordinated lighting scheme with our ranges of matching table and floor lamps, ceiling lights and wall lights.
Floor lamps
Like table lamps, floor lamps are both functional and mood-setting, and especially good for studies, living rooms and halls. Use floor lamps to create areas of light and shade that add interest and warmth to a space.
- There are loads of floor lamp designs to choose from and they're often made to partner table lamps.
- You can mix and match bases and shades but floor lamps are generally sold complete.
- Why not try father and child lamps? With these an uplighter shoots light onto the ceiling, which bounces off to create a soft glow. And a second, directional light gives you focus for reading. Very smart. Some feature useful dimmer switches and easy-reach pull on/off cords to save you getting up. Luxury!
- For a cool, contemporary vibe, cylinder and column-style lamps with paper or fabric shades really shape up. And you'll appreciate the ambient light they generate.
Desk lamps
Helping you stay focused, desk lamps are the perfect choice for your home office. Here's how to make the best of them.
- Get the position just right. Place your desk lamp so it gives you enough light to read documents and see your keyboard, but without directing the light at your eyes or computer screen. That'll reduce glare around the screen and prevent eye strain.
- Look for sturdy lamps with desk clamps or a weighted base. Right-angle arms allow greater movement for effective positioning.
- Using a desk lamp for fine work such as drawing or sewing? Fit it with a daylight bulb. This type of bulb replicates noon light and produces excellent and accurate colour rendering and contrast.
Choosing the right shade
A shade's colour, shape and material make a huge difference to the look of your lamp so here are a few tips for getting it right.
Choose a shade in proportion to the size of the base. Too big or too little and the lamp will look odd and out of place. The shade shouldn't be less than one-third of the height of the light fixture. It should cover the fixture's 'hardware' and come to the top of the lamp base. Make sure the shape suits the fixture. Drum shapes generally look more modern and conical designs are more traditional.
Choosing bulbs
For reading lamps always choose a bulb of at least 60 Watts, or 11 Watts for energy-saving bulbs. Need advice on finding the right bulbs for your lights? See our buying guide to light bulbs.
Here's a way to save cash. Use cheaper-to-run energy-efficient lighting in areas that are lit for long periods - kitchens, living rooms, hallways and stairs.
Homebase buyer's tips
Beat the burglars when you're away at work by using a table lamp with a timer plug. The timer turns on the lamp at preset times so it looks like you're at home.
It may seem obvious but... when buying a lamp always check the flex is long enough to reach the socket!

The Phillies statement on letting pitching coach Rich Dubee go
Sep 30, 2013, 10:47 AM EDT
Charlie Manuel was not the only coach in the Phillies dugout to get the axe this season. After finishing out the string on Sunday afternoon, the team announced this morning that longtime pitching coach Rich Dubee will not return to the club next season.
The team's full statement:
The Phillies have opted not to renew the contract of pitching coach Rich Dubee, the club announced today.
"Rich was a big part of a wonderful era here and in his nine years he served our organization very well," said Senior Vice President & General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. "We believe it is time for change as we move forward. We thank Rich for his professionalism and contribution to the Phillies."
Dubee's nine years as pitching coach was the longest service time at that position for the Phillies in the last 35 years and tied for the most in club history with Cy Perkins (1946-54) and Ray Rippelmeyer (1970-78).
The Phillies will have announcements regarding the remainder of the coaching staff at a later date.
It's unclear whether this is a Ruben or Ryne decision, but my inclination would point to the GM wanting a change here.
Will fans notice much of a difference with a new pitching coach? It's tough to say. Dubee has had his share of success stories but also a handful of guys who never turned into what the team really hoped for out of some young guys. Then there's the Kyle Kendricks of the world who turned from nothing to momentary ace back to almost nothing.
No more yucks from Dubee in the dugout before the games.
- BFT - Sep 30, 2013 at 11:05 AM
No surprise here, though I guess I wouldn't have been surprised if he stayed either.
Over the years I think Dubee has been kind of a mixed bag. For example, he did great work getting a guy like Brett Myers to focus and play to his talent level and of course helping Lidge to forget his past struggles and rip off that ridiculous string of saves. But as Enrico said, the slew of younger guys who didn't pan out at least somewhat has to fall on his doorstep.
Overall, I think that as with Manuel, a change was needed, but he should leave with our well wishes.

Hire Jaime Moyer
- Simmonds17 - Sep 30, 2013 at 11:28 AM
Jamie Moyer is not officially retired yet but I hope the Phillies do hire him when his playing days are over.
In the meantime, welcome to the Rod Nichols era. He was Sandberg's pitching coach at Lehigh Valley and is pretty highly thought of around the game from what I know. I thought the writing was pretty clearly on the wall when he was promoted to the big club with Sandberg.

We Might Be Seeing A Lot Less Wolverine In Comics Come 2014
Last week Marvel held their creative summit where all their writers and editors come together to make plans for upcoming storylines and events for the next year or so. Of course they discussed things like the upcoming Age of Ultron and Dan Slott's planned Spider-Man event, but according to Bleeding Cool they also throw around a pretty surprising idea.
According to Bleeding Cool, who seem to always be on the money with comic book rumors and news, the creative summit brought around an idea to kill Wolverine in 2014. According to the site:
I understand that, spinning out of gossip from the Marvel Creative Summit this last week, that next year there is a plan at Marvel to kill Wolverine. In a way that gets round his healing factor and his seems supernatural deal to keep coming back from the grave.
If Marvel follows through with the idea, which BC is calling just a rumor and piece of gossip for now, they'll have to get around the healing factor of the unkillable hero. One possibility may present itself in Age of Ultorn. We know from solicits that Wolverine and Sue Richards travel back in time to try and stop Ultron, but something may happen to Wolverine as he time travels that causes something to go wrong and one of the few heroes to outright kill goes too far. This is certainly a pretty juicy rumor. Marvel have given us Wolverine overload in recent years, so killing him off is one way to scale it back. But then again, the little Canadian did die recently and fought his way out of hell itself. Even if he goes out for real, he probably won't be gone for too long. What do you think of the idea? Should Wolverine actually, really, no loopholes for now die next year?

ROME (AP) — Premier Mario Monti told the Italian president Saturday he is resigning soon, saying he can no longer govern after Silvio Berlusconi's party withdrew crucial support. It paves the way for early elections a year after the unelected economist helped pull the country back from the brink of financial disaster.
Only hours earlier, Berlusconi announced he would run for a fourth term as premier, aiming for a dramatic comeback, considering the billionaire media baron quit in disgrace in November 2011.
The office of President Giorgio Napolitano, who met for nearly two hours with Monti at the presidential palace, said the premier told the head of state that without the support of Berlusconi's party, ''he cannot further carry out his mandate, and consequently made clear his intention to resign'' once Parliament passes a crucial budget bill soon.
Political turmoil in Italy, mired in recession and trying to escape the eurozone sovereign debt crisis, could spook financial markets, which, with Monti at the helm, had steadily regained faith in the country's ability to honor its debts.
Standard & Poor's rating agency, indicating on Friday that it could lower Italy's rating if the recession endures well into 2013, cited ''uncertainty'' over whether the next Italian government could stay the tough course of austerity Monti's nonpartisan government moved through Parliament.
Monti is an economist appointed by Napolitano a year ago to head a non-elected government of technocrats that replaced Berlusconi. The premier told Napolitano he would quickly consult with political leaders on prospects for swift passage of the ''financial stability'' budget law critical to soothing market fears.
The presidential palace statement said Monti warned that if lawmakers didn't pull together behind the bill, that would render ''ever more grave the consequences of a government crisis, on a European level as well.''
Political instability could send the ''spread'' —the difference in interest between benchmark German bonds and Italian ones — back soaring again. Monti toiled to shrink the spread.
With elections ever closer, politicians would be loath to shoulder the blame for fueling the crisis. Both Berlusconi's party, and its rival center-left Democratic Party, would likely quickly approve the budget law in the next few weeks.
The Democratic Party's candidate for premier, Pier Luigi Bersani, decried the ''irresponsibility'' of Berlusconi's party in ''betraying the commitment it made a year ago in front of the nation'' to back Monti. Bersani said his party would work ''as swiftly as possible'' for the law's passage.
Once the budget bill passes, Monti will ''hand in his irrevocable resignation in the hands of the president,'' the presidential palace said.
Monti concluded his government's effectiveness was dwindling following back-to-back blows from Berlusconi's conservative Freedom People, the largest party in Parliament. On Thursday, it refused to back two confidence votes in Parliament that the government had tied to legislation.
And on Friday, Berlusconi's hand-picked political heir, party secretary Angelino Alfano, criticized Monti's emphasis on austerity, saying that strategy failed to revive the economy.
In Monti's view, Alfano had essentially delivered ''a judgment of categorical non-confidence on the government'' and its strategy, the palace statement said.
Before an election date can be set, Napolitano must dissolve Parliament, whose full term runs until late April. Elections must be held within 70 days of Parliament's dissolution, meaning balloting could be held perhaps as early as February, or weeks ahead of the March 10 date that Berlusconi said would suit him.
Earlier in the day, the 76-year-old Berlusconi told reporters outside the training camp for his AC Milan soccer team that he was ''running to win,'' despite opinion polls which indicate his party's popularity has slumped dramatically, and could pull under 15 percent of the vote.
Besides bowing to the financial market pressure last year, Berlusconi has suffered other blows. In October, a Milan court convicted him of tax fraud in connection with dealings in his media empire and sentenced him to four years in prison. He is appealing. Convictions don't become final in Italy until after two levels of appeals are exhausted.
And he is on trial in another Milan courtroom for allegedly paying an underage prostitute for sex and using his office as premier to try to cover it up. Both he and the young woman have denied they had sex. Berlusconi blames that criminal case, and several other judicial probes in the past, on prosecutors he contends side with the political left.Continued...
