It is estimated that in 2009 Flickr hosted over 4 billion photographs and Facebook users uploaded 30 billion images. This is just the tip of the iceberg with no end in sight. On the video front, YouTube now has over 12 billion views per month. We are without question in the greatest age of photography since its introduction. Never in the history of mankind has there been a greater opportunity to experience the creative process, and the ability to share it with the masses. We are in a Creative Revolution.
I often meet people that have only been taking pictures for a few years, and when presented with their work, I am simply blown away. In today's digital capture and manipulation era and with the hyper accelerated pace of learning and sharing, it is possible to accomplish in one or two years what took an average person say, 20 years ago, to accomplish in 10 years.
In 1979 Bob Dylan wrote about a "Slow Train Coming," but in 2011 that train is moving at a high rate of speed. Miss that train and you will be left behind. It is a rude awaking for those of us who grew up with Bob Dylan and have dug in our heals, resisting the digital age.
Part of accepting this new digital era is being willing to re-examine the very definition of photography. If we define photography by the technical process or by the tools used in that process then we are bound and obligated to work within that definition. A few years ago when I first started doing photographic composites, I received all sorts of criticism stating I was no longer a photographer but had now become an illustrator. Somehow we had accepted the manipulations done in camera and in the darkroom, but when it came to working in programs like Photoshop, well that was somehow cheating and crossed the line of traditional acceptance.
A few years ago I sat down and asked the question, "from the glass plate process to the new digital process what constant denominator has never changed and will never change in the future?" The answer is this: the creative process. In the end, the single greatest dominating unchanging force that drives the photographic process is that it takes an artist to create. What tools we use should be completely secondary to the creative process.
Once I let go of my preconceived definitions of photography and focused on my exploration and uniqueness as an artist, my work literally took on a whole new life. I was now free to explore the creative process without the restraining boundaries that once kept me in check by the definitions established by others.
Joel Grimes makes his living in commercial photography but has a parallel career in art. Grimes combines an artistic vision with an impressive fluency in the technical aspects of photography, creating images that make viewers see the world anew. See his work in Digital Darkroom which runs from December 17, 2011 - May 28, 2012.

PlushBeds is manufacturer-direct / factory-direct only, which is why we can offer the pricing that we do. If our mattresses were in retail stores, they would sell for 50%-70% more for a solid mattress made of pure 100% natural latex. Because you're buying direct from the manufacturer, you're cutting out the middle man, retail markups, etc. You're getting more mattress for your money!
Each natural latex mattress is handmade in our California production facility as orders are received. This is why we can offer so many different firmness options. While we offer a standard selection of our 4 most popular firmness options, we can accommodate virtually any firmness request. By contract, most online companies are resellers and only offer ready-made mattresses their manufacturers' provide to them.
Every PlushBeds latex mattress arrives fully assembled. Just take it out of the box and enjoy.
Our Botanical Bliss mattresses come in four firmness levels to satisfy a wide range of sleep preferences. Soft, Medium, Medium-Firm, and Extra-Firm options suit every body type from the sensitive side-sleeper who needs pressure-point relief to the back-sleeper who loves the feel of a firm, supportive bed.
Rule of thumb, even if you are partially a side sleeper, our medium will provide better pressure relief in your hip and shoulder areas. If you prefer a firmer mattress and only sleep on your stomach or back, our medium-firm will provide the additional support you are looking for.
The difference between our 9", 10" and 12" Botanical Bliss models varies, depending on the firmness you choose. Each mattress has its own unique attributes. Whatever your body type or sleep preferences are, we can help you find the bed that will help you sleep better than ever before.
The taller the mattress, the more soft talalay latex is used in the top comfort layer. Our 9 inch model is topped with a 2 inch comfort layer; our 10 inch option with a 3 inch comfort layer, and the 12 inch model with a luxurious 5 inch comfort layer (a 2 inch over a 3 inch comfort layer).
In our Soft and Medium models, the thicker talalay on the 10 and 12 inch models gives these mattresses a softer, plush feel, preferable if you're a side sleeper or prefer a softer mattress. The 9 inch model, on the other hand, is ideal for side sleepers who need a little more support without sacrificing comfort.
In our Medium Firm and Extra Firm models, all three thicknesses have a similar feel since firmer latex is used in the comfort layer on all three models. Instead of sleep style, body weight becomes the deciding factor when choosing a firm mattress, since the amount of firm latex needed in the comfort layer will depend on the amount of weight pressing against it.
We recommend using the following guide in selecting your medium-firm or extra-firm models:
When you combine the hypo-allergenic, temperature regulating, and eco-friendly characteristics of latex foam with the unmatchable comfort and buoyant support of our carefully engineered Botanical Bliss line, it becomes obvious that any of our 3 models (9", 10" or 12") would be a wonderful addition to your bedroom. Remember, our 100-night comfort exchange policy allows you to find the Botanical Bliss comfort that's just right for you, even after it has been delivered.
There's no off-gassing in our 100% natural latex, so no odors are present.
Flipping is not necessary, however for customers who prefer to flip or rotate their mattress every 6 months, our mattress covers have a zipper and the top of the mattress cover is easily-removable for easy access to rotate or flip the layers on natural latex underneath.
Yes, on queen and king size mattresses, we can customize each side of your mattress with a different firmness. Please call 1-888-449-5738 and any one of our mattress specialists can assist you in customizing your order.
Yes, due to the dense cell structure of 100% natural latex, your mattress will be heavier than a traditional mattress. This should be looked at as a characteristic of its quality vs. a hindrance, similar to a solid wood dining room table as compared to a lighter, particle board piece of furniture. While it may be heavier, you most likely won't be moving it many times after bringing it into your home.
With that said however, you should make necessary arrangements on the delivery date for bringing your new mattress to your bedroom if you select free ground shipping; or if you prefer you can select a white glove delivery for $299 on our checkout page, and our private carriers will bring your new mattress to the room of your choice and unpack it for you.
The weight of your mattress will vary based on the firmness you order. The weight ranges are below:
Absolutely. Natural latex is much more resilient and better for pressure relief because it is extremely elastic. Blended latex has more of a couch foam feel to it and does not have the same resilience as 100% natural latex. For this same reason, blended latex mattresses sold in stores typically will have a much higher firmness level (higher ILD) to compensate for the lack of resilience or "springiness" that 100% natural latex provides. While this may compensate for support, the higher ILD does not have the same pressure-relieving qualities. Only 100% natural latex has the unique characteristic of simultaneous pressure relief and contouring support. Due to the high cost of the raw materials, solid 100% natural latex mattresses are typically not sold in retail stores.
The relevant question is not as much about which is better as it is about where and how it's being used in the mattress. When latex is derived from the hevea brasiliensis tree, it has the consistency of maple syrup. There are 2 primary processes used to transform it to the latex foam used in mattresses; the talalay process and the dunlop process.
To spare you the technical details, the dunlop process produces a latex foam that is more dense, while the talalay process produces a latex foam that is lighter and has more air in it. If we use cake as an analogy, dunlop would be like pound cake and talalay would be like angel food cake. If you were to weigh each as latex cores, the dunlop would be heaver because it has more latex in it.
As a top comfort layer of a mattress, talalay is typically preferred because it is less dense which provides better pressure relief. As a mattress core however, dunlop is preferred because it's dense cell structure will hold the shape of the mattress better over time & will be less prone to sagging or indentations.
No, our mattress specialists are not paid on commission, so you'll never experience a "hard sell". Our mattress specialists pay careful attention to your questions and requests, guiding you through the process of finding the mattress that is best for you on a budget that you can afford. Feel free to reach any of our mattress specialists from 9am-9pm EST, 7 days a week by calling 1-888-449-5738.
Company X is most likely not the manufacturer, but a reseller. If so, their only option is to glue it, which is why they market "layers shifting". Natural latex is naturally abrasive (the layers grab each other) and does not shift. PlushBeds has done extensive testing on this, and you would need to hold your mattress up to a 90 degree angle before seeing any movement at all. Further, a huge disadvantage to glued layers is that if your mattress is too firm or too soft, your only option is to return the whole mattress (instead of simply switching out a layer).
Please click on the "10 Reasons to Buy" button at the top of the page just below the mattress image, or visit our comparisons tab for a detailed explanation on what separates the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss from the competition.
Approximately 40% of our customers choose the 9", 40% choose the 10", and 20% choose the 12".
Memory foam and latex may seem similar at first glance, both are responsive foam bedding options designed to support your body without the use of traditional inner springs. But look more closely: latex gets the green seal of approval, sleeps cooler, is more responsive to your movements, and lasts longer.
A latex mattress is constructed using sustainably harvested liquid latex that's produced naturally by the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. When combined with an organic cotton cover, natural latex is one of the most eco-friendly bedding options on the market today. Memory foam has a cellular structure that holds heat and responds slowly to changes in pressure. Most people find that memory foam "sleeps hot" and offers a sinking sensation similar to sleeping in quicksand. Latex, by contrast, is constructed with an open cellular structure that encourages air flow. The natural resilient "bounce" of rubber allows latex to respond quickly and gently to your every move - and can last up to 20 years or more.
Latex mattresses have far less motion transfer than traditional innerspring mattresses. An all-natural latex bed gives under your weight and shifts back to its original position when you move, but the motion is localized. The cells beneath your body compress and expand individually. A quality latex mattress on a quality mattress foundation can give you most still, peaceful sleep you've ever had.
The resilient feel of latex is one of the most delectable in the mattress industry. Its unique customizability makes it ideal for a wide range of sleepers. Whether you are a stomach sleeper who likes a firm mattress or a side sleeper who wants to sink into your bed, you'll find the unique responsiveness of latex to be a gently supportive bedding alternative that relieves pressure and aligns your spine-so you sleep deeply and wake refreshed.
Yes, all of our latex mattresses are handmade by our skilled craftsmen as orders are received in our California production facility.
Some of the first 100% natural latex mattresses sold in the US were sold by Sears in the early 1950s. While Sears no longer sells them, many of their customers reportedly still had them 30+ years later, looking as good as they did when they first bought them. 100% natural latex mattresses are very durable and should last 20-25 years, although it's typically recommended to replace your mattress every 8-10 years.
Yes, you can use an electric blanket with your latex mattress. In general, you should not apply extreme heat directly to natural latex, however your latex mattress is protected with an organic cotton cover which will protect the latex.
Natural Latex is one of the safest, purest mattresses you can sleep on. It is naturally resilient for support, yet offers optimal pressure relief at the same time. It is hypoallergenic, dust mite resistant, mildew and mold resistant, odor free, extremely durable and is not manufactured with any harsh chemicals. With that said, if you plan on having children or pets sleep on your new latex mattress, we recommend purchasing a waterproof mattress protector, which will protect your mattress in the event of any accidents.
Initially, we did glue our layers under the assumption that unglued layers would shift. Some customers would receive their mattress and wanted it to be softer or firmer. While they would have enjoyed the mattress in a different firmness, their only option was to return the whole mattress as the layers were glued together and couldn't be changed.
Additionally, customer feedback showed us one of the primary reasons customers choose a natural latex mattress is because of the purity and lack of harsh chemicals. We felt using as many as 4 cups of glue in each mattress (the amount needed to glue a queen size mattress) did not align with our customers' values, and began our research to build a healthier mattress.
After extensive testing, we found 100% natural latex is naturally abrasive, and the layers "grab" each other, which prevents shifting. In fact, you would need to hold your mattress up to a 90 degree angle before seeing any movement at all. Further, a huge advantage to non-glued layers (both immediately when you receive your mattress or years down the road if your comfort needs change) is that if your mattress is too firm or too soft, you can simply exchange a layer of latex to a firmness of your liking vs. returning the whole mattress. With our 100 night comfort guarantee, this can be done with just a flat rate $45 shipping fee.
Many online companies boast "factory direct', yet are simply resellers who are buying your mattress from a manufacturer, adding their markups, and having it shipped from the manufacturer directly to you. By contrast, PlushBeds is the manufacturer. Because you are buying directly from the manufacturer and there is not another retailer or reseller in the food chain, we can use higher quality materials and still offer a better price than most competitors without cutting corners on quality. Remember, there are 100 ways to cut corners in the manufacturing process to make a mattress "cheaper". There will always be a "cheaper" mattress out there, however our objective has never been to be the cheapest. Our objective has always been to make extremely high quality mattresses we are proud of, and mattresses our customers love. We can confidently say PlushBeds offers the best quality and best value for your money.
Most of our latex mattresses are compression rolled for efficient shipping using a state of the art roll pack machine which fully compresses and seals the mattress, then rolls it into a size which can be shipped via UPS (inferior machines compress and roll simultaneously, which can damage the mattress).
Some of our larger or firmer mattresses are too big or dense to be compression rolled and are flat packed (the full size of the mattress) and shipped via private carrier.
Our free ground shipping includes basic delivery anywhere in the continental US. If you would like mattress setup or setup with old mattress removal and disposal, you can select the White Glove Delivery option on our checkout page.
For $299, our White Glove delivery service will bring your new mattress into the bedroom of your choice, set it up, and remove the packing materials. They will also remove and dispose of any old mattresses at a price of $99 per unit.
Approximately 7-14 days; up to 7 days to manufacture, and up to 7 days in transit, depending on where it is being shipped to. Our production facility is in California, so Western US deliveries will be a few days earlier than Eastern US deliveries.
Most of our latex mattresses are compression rolled and shipped via UPS. If your mattress ships via UPS, you will receive a shipping notification via email on the night your mattress ships. The email will contain your UPS tracking number and your mattress delivery can be tracked on the UPS website.
Some of our larger or firmer mattresses are too big or dense to be compression rolled and are flat packed (the full size of the mattress) and shipped via private carrier. If your mattress falls into this category, we ship your mattress to the dispatch center in your local area. Once it arrives, the local dispatch center will call you to schedule your delivery, usually the next business day. Similar to a UPS delivery, this is a standard delivery, unless you've selected a white glove delivery option on the checkout page. For $299, our White Glove delivery service will bring your new mattress into the bedroom of your choice, set it up, and remove the packing materials.
Absolutely, just call 1-888-449-5738 and any one of our mattress specialists can arrange a future delivery for you. You can request delivery after a certain date, or before a certain date. We can shoot for delivery on a specific date based on estimated delivery times, however please keep in mind this is not an exact science as once we hand your mattress off to the delivery companies, we have no control over any delays or schedule changes they may experience.
Yes, pricing will vary depending on the requested timeframe and shipping address. Please call 1-888-449-5738 and any one of our mattress specialists can provide you with a customized quote.
Most of our deliveries are via UPS, who delivers Monday thru Friday. Some of our White Glove delivery partners can deliver on Saturdays for a White Glove delivery fee of $299, however this varies across the country. If you absolutely require a weekend delivery, please call 1-888-449-5738 and one of our mattress specialists will see what they can do to accommodate you.
Yes, for a flat fee of $299, our White Glove delivery service will set up your mattress and any foundation included in your order.
Did you just receive your mattress and it's slightly softer or firmer than you'd like? Just give us a call to exercise your 100 night comfort guarantee. For a $145 deposit, we'll send you a new top layer of 100% natural latex of a different firmness, based ion your initial feedback. Simply unzip the top of your cover and replace the old top layer with the new. We'll send you a shipping label to return the old label, and once it's received, we'll refund your $145 deposit.
Yes, a top comfort layer exchange resolves comfort issues 90% of the time. Not every mattress has the same core, but in our experience, most comfort issues can be solved with a top layer exchange as they are just a little off, for example, someone orders a medium then decides they'd prefer a medium-firm. If someone enjoys a very soft mattress, they probably won't be ordering an extra-firm.
Absolutely not. They are sent to our 3rd party liquidators. Unlike other companies, PlushBeds will only send 100% new products to our customers 100% of the time.
From the day your mattress is delivered, you have 100 days to fall in love with it. Because sleeping on natural latex has a different feel than most traditional mattresses, we ask that you give your body 30 days to adjust. After the first 30 days, if you don't fall in love with your new latex mattress for any reason, just call us to arrange a return and box the mattress for shipping. We'll send a private carrier for a curbside mattress pickup, who will ship the mattress back to us. We'll pay for all the round trip shipping costs and you will receive a full refund of your purchase price. Should you decide to return your mattress prior to a 30 day trial, or keep any bonus accessories received with your mattress, a $99 accessories fee will be deducted from your refund.
Please note that our 100 night return policy applies to our full collection of latex mattresses; foundations, additional toppers, or accessories purchased with your mattress are not returnable as these are universal items that can be used with any mattress.
Let's say you purchase one of our latex mattresses for $2,399. It's delivered and even after 2-3 months, you decide that natural latex is just not for you (this happens less than 2% of the time). Simply call us to arrange a return and package the mattress for shipping. We'll send a private carrier for a curbside mattress pickup, who will ship the mattress back to us. Once it's received, you'll receive a refund of $2,399. Should you decide to return your mattress prior to a 30 day trial, or keep any bonus accessories received with your mattress, a $99 accessories fee will be deducted from your refund. Refunds are typically issued within 7 days from the date we receive your mattress and are refunded to the same original payment source.
Unlike several other online mattress companies who boast free or cheap returns, then customarily deduct damage or excessive use fees to cover shipping costs, PlushBeds offers a solid return policy with no tricks or games. We hope you love your latex mattress as most of our customers do, however, even if natural latex is not for you, we still want you to feel good about your experience with our company. Of course, there are always rare exceptions to this rule if a mattress comes back destroyed or in a condition where even our 3rd party liquidators reject it, which only happens once or twice a year. The last one, for example, was a mattress returned to us completely cut in half by a customer trying to fit it into his boat who miscalculated his dimensions. In extreme situations such as these, we feel a damage fee would be appropriate.
Any products returned soiled or with smoke damage will be sent back to you in lieu of any refunds being issued as our liquidators will not accept them in this condition. Should you decide to return your mattress prior to a 30 day trial, or keep any bonus accessories received with your mattress, a $99 convenience fee will be deducted from your refund.
Our returned mattresses are sent to our 3rd party liquidators and are never resold; the latex is either recycled or ground up and used in carpet padding.
PlushBeds is a reputable and ethical company with great independent reviews and a solid BBB rating. Unlike other online companies, we follow the law, which clearly states that it is unlawful to resell a returned mattress as new.
Our 25 year manufacturer's warranty protects you from manufacturer's defects and excessive body impressions or sagging greater than 1.5" over a 25 year period. Every warranty begins the day your mattress is delivered, and provides full replacement in years 1-10, and pro-rated replacement in years 11-25.
No, however the mattress does have to be on a completely flat surface to validate the warranty. In several warranty inquires, we found customers were placing their latex mattress on an old box spring (+7-10 years old), which began to sag due to the weight of the mattress.
Most of our online competitors are resellers and are offering their own warranty, not the warranty from the mattress manufacturer, who typically warranties the mattress for a shorter time period. You should ask for a copy of both warranties, as if the reseller is out of business in the future, it's the manufacturer's warranty you are left with.
Yes, through our relationship with PayPal, we provide their Bill Me Later financing offer, subject to credit approval, which offers no payments + no interest on your order if paid in full within 6 months. To take advantage of this financing offer, simply select Bill Me Later as your payment option on our checkout page.
Box springs are typically designed to hold lighter, traditional mattresses. Natural latex mattresses are heavier and require more support. Our orthopedic foundations are built from select woods for their strength. Additionally, the slatted structure of the orthopedic foundation provides better breathability for the latex.
The best way to determine if your current box spring still offers support is to give it a knee test. Place your knee as close to the center as you can and apply pressure. If it sinks less than 2 inches, you might be ok; if it sinks 3+ inches, it should be replaced.
Another consideration is whether you purchased your box spring prior to 2007. In 2007, the CPSC enacted stricter flammability laws (CFR 1633) which all mattresses and box springs are required to pass. Box springs purchased prior to 2007 may not pass current flammability laws and could present a higher risk.
Our Orthopedic Foundation is 8" high. Most customers place the Orthopedic Foundation into a metal bed frame, which traditionally is 6" high. If you need to order a metal bed frame, please call 1-888-449-5738 and any one of our mattress specialists can assist you.
Our king size orthopedic foundation is 1 piece that measures 76" x 80" x 8". If you require a 2 piece foundation, please select the split king foundation from the foundations drop down box, which is two pieces, 38" x 80" x 8" each.
Our orthopedic foundation comes unassembled and is very easy to assemble. Using a patented construction process, no additional tools are necessary; you simply connect the pieces per the instructions. Once assembled, it can support weights up to 600lbs. It can also be unassembled just as easily for moving, etc.
Our orthopedic foundation comes unassembled in a box which measures 12" x 12" x 82" and weighs approximately 45lbs.
Absolutely, because of its elastic characteristics, a latex mattress is superior to any other mattress for performance on an adjustable bed. Just be sure to measure the surface of your adjustable bed and order the right size mattress to match.
Our adjustable foundation has legs and removable casters (wheels) that go all the way to the floor. The height for the foundation is as follows:
The foundation is fully functional with or without legs. Just add the height of the mattress to whichever option above best fits your needs to determine the total height.
The weight of our adjustable foundation varies by size, the weights for each size are listed below:
The recommended weight restrictions on our full motion bases are as follows:
This full motion base will structurally support the recommended weight distributed evenly across the head and foot sections. This product is not designed to support or lift this amount of weight in the head or foot sections alone.
As with any product that produces a vibrating motion (optional), it is possible that some pacemakers may interpret this motion as a false sense of movement and/or exercise. This may or may not affect your pacemaker. If you have any concerns, please consult your physician. For information on disabling the vibrating motors, please contact customer service by calling 1-888-449-5738.
Due to their weight, our adjustable beds are shipped separately by private carrier from several different warehouses across the country, depending on your location. We typically aim to have both your mattress and adjustable foundation arrive on approximately the same day, shipping schedules permitting.
If you select our free ground shipping, a private carrier will deliver your adjustable foundation to your house. Due to the weight of the foundation, it is recommended that you make necessary arrangements for assistance to bring the foundation to the room of your choice. The foundation comes fully assembled in the box, just the legs need to be screwed on.
If you select a white glove delivery option ($299) on the checkout page, our white glove service will bring both your mattress and adjustable foundation to your house, into the room of your choice, and will set up your complete bed including the syncing of your remotes, and will remove all packing materials.
All king and California king adjustable foundations are 2 separate units positioned side by side. No manufacturer makes a single king size unit as it would be too large to fit inside most people's bedrooms.
On a regular king model (76" x 80") or California king model (72" x 84"), both units are positioned side by side, and the frequencies are synced together (similar to a garage door opener) so the head and feet on both sides go up and down simultaneously. This is used when a regular king or California king mattress is placed on top.
On a split king model or split California king model, both units are positioned side by side, and each side operates independently on different frequencies. This is used when a split king mattress (2 twin XLs) is placed on top, so each side can go up and down independently of the other side.
Both styles come with 2 wireless remotes. The main difference being that with the regular king or California king, each remote controls the whole bed, and with the split king model, each remote only controls one side of the bed.
Yes, we offer an extremely high quality adjustable foundation at a very affordable price, however we are also authorized dealers of all major adjustable bed manufacturers and can source most models on the market. If you have a particular adjustable foundation model in mind, please call 1-888-449-5738 and any one of our mattress specialists can provide you with a customized quote.

1. With wide blade palette knife, apply irregular coat of Deep Tuscan Red Texture Crackle to entire surface of canvas. (Make sure that it is quite thick in some areas and thinner in others. It doesn't have to be heavily textured, but you do have to cover surface.) As it dries, texture will begin to crackle. Thicker areas will have larger plate; finer plate will show in thinner applications.

You've got whopping electricity bills. You've heard about all of these photovoltaic (PV) solar systems that can produce electricity for your home. And lo and behold, you can't help but notice that sun shines on your baking hot roof several hours of the day.
Can a solar PV system help you save significant money on your electric bills? And what about those prohibitive $30,000 or so up-front costs? Double ugh fooey.
"Anybody with electric bill of $150 to $200 and higher is a good candidate for a solar electric system," says Joe Bono, CEO of Solar Universe, a California-based solar installation company with 22 franchise locations in seven states. "We often see bills in the $300 to $400 a month range," and a good solar electric system can cut those in half—or more. Those who are investing in electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging systems are also good candidates for solar arrays, because those home-based chargers can use a lot of electricity.
Tax credits and rebates exist at the state and federal levels. In addition, some smaller and municipally owned utilities offer good rebates for homes producing solar electricity. SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) that pay homeowners and businesses for producing energy to help offset their system costs are available in some states. Feed-in Tariffs, which pay producers a cost-based price per the energy produced, have been instituted in Ontario. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and solar leasing programs with little to no up-front costs are also available, though there are pros and cons to leasing. (Read on.)
Here are some planning tips for considering solar electric systems.
Bonus tip: Look to the future.
Making your house more energy efficient and adding a solar PV system can be just the start. If you want free hot water, think of a solar thermal system that can cost about $8,000 or more. And look to tie your home systems together at some time with home automation. You no longer have to be a millionaire to have these systems. There are many more affordable options out there that can help you turn on and off lights and regulate your thermostats automatically. Systems are available from ADT, Comcast/Xfinity and soon Verizon and perhaps AT&T. One company, EcoFactor, will connect to a smart thermostat to regulate it a degree of two via a variety of weather and other data, enabling you to save automatically without sacrificing your comfort. When smart grid services from your local utility come, you can run smart appliances like dishwashers at low-cost times, via time-of-use pricing that varies hourly. "Today with products like EcoFactor, you can save 10 to 20 percent," says Bono. "In the future when appliances interact with the grid—and that's coming—we'll see a lot more home automation. I think there's real serious savings to be had."

An appendectomy is the removal of the appendix. The appendix is a small, blind-ended tube that is attached to the large intestine.
An appendectomy is most often done as an emergency operation to treat
appendicitis. Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It can be caused by an infection or obstruction.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your doctor may do the following:
Intravenous fluids and antibiotics will be started right away. Since appendicitis is an emergency condition, surgery is almost always done as soon a possible after the diagnosis is made.
General anesthesia
will be used. You will be asleep, with a temporary breathing tube in place.
Three small incisions will be made in your abdomen. A
(small tool with a camera on the end) will be passed through an incision. Gas will be blown into your abdomen to make it easier for the doctor to see. Other tools will be inserted into the incisions. The camera will send images of your insides to a video screen. The doctor will use these images to find and remove the appendix.
The appendix will be detached from surrounding tissue. The doctor will stop any bleeding from blood vessels. The appendix will then be tied off and cut out. The incisions will be closed with stitches or staples.
The removed tissue is examined by a pathologist.
1-2 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You may go home on the same day, if the surgery was routine. If infection, rupture, or other complications happen the stay will be longer.
You will be asked to get out of bed about six hours after surgery.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
Recovery takes about 1-2 weeks.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Existing from 1919 to 1933 the Bauhaus school came to represent a variety of new currents in art, architecture and design as new forms of expression flourished in post-war Europe. Thus in the works of Klee and Kandinsky, both of whom taught at the school, we see the emergence of a style in which form is abstracted and colour used to expressive effect. Despite the brief life of the school, which shut itself down under pressure from the Nazis, its influence continued as those connected with the school spread its ideas around the globe. Our range of prints captures this exciting moment in which existing barriers broke down and artists redefined what was possible in their newfound freedom.
Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Vanity Fair's Best Dressed 2010 List is out! And it's quite, errr retrograde? Nearly everyone on there seems to be famous for being a wife – Michelle Obama, Samantha Cameron, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy or being born into wealth like Wendi Murdoch, Tatiana Santo Domingo (topped the list) or various members of royal families from around the world with unfamiliar names.
A couple of exceptions were Gaga (YAY!) on the list at 26 (out of 45), Carey Mulligan at number 3 (VF described her style as 'existential pixie'!) and siblings Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon and Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal (both pairs listed as one entry, we don't know why). No Emma Watson, no Kate Moss or Victoria Beckham and very few
But wait. There's something else. Who was in at number 31? we hear you wonder. Flying the flag for great British style, *drumroll* Helena Bonham Carter! *splutter splutter*
What do you think of Helena Bonham Carter's style?

Play Threefold: Chick Corea, Bobby McFerrin, & Jack DeJohnette
April 24, 2008. Posted by Simon Rentner.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
I dislike using qualitative language to describe music. Words fall short, especially when conjuring up the right descriptors for a performance I experienced last night at Carnegie Hall with Chick Corea, Bobby McFerrin, and Jack DeJohnette. That doesn't mean that I couldn't write a novel about what I witnessed. The existence of a concert like this explains why I find myself helplessly committed to a life in music. It was performance art of the highest order. Excluding the encore, they performed one continuous improvisation that included Bobby singing fluently in many made-up languages, Jack losing himself in a voluminous drum solo, and Chick playing a hand drum like a robot. There were drumsticks flying in every direction, some of which landed in Bobby's hair, a game of four-handed piano playing, where Chick and Bobby swapped places on the piano bench, and a captive audience clicking their tongues in unison. Bobby then led us in "making tones," as Chick described it backstage, where the audience and musicians sang sustained notes -- in six-part harmony -- creating intricate cascading patterns in falsetto throughout Carnegie's cavernous hall. Miraculously, we some how pulled it off. During this part of the concert, which Chick proclaimed his "favorite moment," my colleague Doug Yoel, saw patterns floating in the air. I was hallucinating too. - Simon
Here's what writer Dan Heckman from the LA Times thought of the trio at Disney Concert Hall.
Nicholas Payton - A Different Kind of "Blue"
April 24, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: club coca cola, coca cola, debut, Listening Post, music, nicholas payton quintet, nonesuch records, studio session, Studio Sessions, wbgo
In October 2007, WBGO recorded a studio session with the Nicholas Payton Quintet. The band had just finished a week-long run at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, and they had just recorded the music for Payton's debut on Nonesuch Records, Into the Blue. The record hit stores this week. Check out the studio session on NPR Music. It posted earlier today. Funny how that works....Timing is everything.
Great Live Moments - Max Roach
April 24, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: Listening Post, Live Music, Studio Sessions
Max Roach christened WBGO's music studio. Thanks to our den mother, Dorthaan Kirk, Max came to our performance space in 1987 with two different ensembles. It was a Sunday afternoon, and Max wore a grey silk suit. Those performances with then-WBGO host James Browne marked the beginning of many ambitions for a fledgling jazz station. Now, we have music performances all the time (seven bands booked in this month alone). But the first session with Max Roach is one that many at WBGO will never forget.
Listen to "Lonesome Lover," from the WBGO Archives.
If you're feeling ambitious, check out the JazzSet Max Roach Memorial. It includes more music from this WBGO studio session.
And it you're even more ambitious, and you love to pay nothing for a show (like most jazz people I know), head to Brooklyn for a three-day tribute to Max Roach.

Welcome back
Hey everyone
Just a quick intro... I used to be on this forum under the name Big Bad C! but I was mostly lurking and reading.... now it seems that I cant access that log in so this is my new one.

Oropharyngeal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the oropharynx.
The oropharynx is the middle part of the pharynx (throat) behind the mouth, and includes the back one-third of the tongue, the soft palate, the side and back walls of the throat, and the tonsils. The pharynx is a hollow tube about 5 inches long that starts behind the nose and ends at the top of the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (the tube that goes from the throat to the stomach). Air and food pass through the pharynx on the way to the trachea or the esophagus. Anatomy of the pharynx (throat). The three parts of the pharynx are the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx.
Most oropharyngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Squamous cells are the thin, flat cells that line the inside of the oropharynx.
Oropharyngeal cancer is a type of head and neck cancer.
Use of tobacco products and drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of oropharyngeal cancer.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer include the following:
Possible signs of oropharyngeal cancer include a sore throat and a lump in the neck.
These and other symptoms may be caused by oropharyngeal cancer. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following problems:
Tests that examine the mouth and throat are used to help detect (find), diagnose, and stage oropharyngeal cancer.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) depends on the following:
Treatment options depend on the following:
After oropharyngeal cancer has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread within the oropharynx or to other parts of the body.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread within the oropharynx or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment. The results of some of the tests used to diagnose oropharyngeal cancer are often used to stage the disease.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
The following stages are used for oropharyngeal cancer:
Stage 0 (Carcinoma in Situ)
In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in the lining of the oropharynx. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ.
Pea, peanut, walnut, and lime show tumor sizes.
Stage I
In stage I, cancer has formed and is 2 centimeters or smaller and is found in the oropharynx only.
Stage II
In stage II, the cancer is larger than 2 centimeters but not larger than 4 centimeters and is found in the oropharynx only.
Stage III
In stage III, the cancer is either:
Stage IV
Stage IV is divided into stage IVA, IVB, and IVC as follows:
Recurrent oropharyngeal cancer is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the oropharynx or in other parts of the body.
There are different types of treatment for patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with oropharyngeal cancer. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Patients with oropharyngeal cancer should have their treatment planned by a team of doctors with expertise in treating head and neck cancer.
The patient's treatment will be overseen by a medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating people with cancer. Because the oropharynx helps in breathing, eating, and talking, patients may need special help adjusting to the side effects of the cancer and its treatment. The medical oncologist may refer the patient to other health professionals with special training in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer. These may include the following specialists:
Three types of standard treatment are used:
Treatment choices depend on how the treatment will affect the patient's ability to speak and swallow.
Surgery (removing the cancer in an operation) is a common treatment of all stages of oropharyngeal cancer. A doctor may remove the cancer and some of the healthy tissue around the cancer. Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given chemotherapy or radiation therapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Radiation therapy may be more effective in patients who have stopped smoking before beginning treatment.
Radiation therapy to the thyroid or pituitary gland increases the risk of hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone). Thyroid function tests should be done before and after treatment.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
See Drugs Approved for Head and Neck Cancer for more information. (Oropharyngeal cancer is a type of head and neck cancer.)
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Radiosensitizers are drugs that make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Combining radiation therapy with radiosensitizers may kill more tumor cells.
Hyperthermia therapy
Hyperthermia therapy is a treatment in which body tissue is exposed to increased temperature to damage and kill cancer cells or to make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and certain anticancer drugs.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
After treatment for oropharyngeal cancer, frequent and careful follow-up is important because of the risk of developing a second cancer in the head or neck.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.

The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Editorial changes were made to this summary.
About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
The future
It's all a pipe dream
Jason Perlow
Best Argument: It's all a pipe dream
Audience Favored: It's all a pipe dream (58%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
The future of TV is 4KSteven Vaughan-Nichols I have seen the future of TV and it's 4K. Don't get me wrong I love my 1080p HDTV, but 4K's 3,840×2,160 pixels, aka Quad Full High Definition (QFHD), blows it out of the water.
It's not just the four times better definition. I see 4K TV becoming a blockbuster because it will be bundled with organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies with their exceptional color reproduction.
Yes, there are two major problems. First, it takes a heck of a lot of bandwidth to move 4K video. Lossy video codec technologies, such as the just approved High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is going to bring that down to 100Mbps broadband speeds.
The other problem is that OLED 4K TVs are more expensive than some cars. Those prices will go down eventually.
So why is 4K's going to win anyway? Because, I'm taking the long view. By 2015/6 Gigabit Internet connections will be more common. Simultaneously, I see 4K TV prices will drop into the 2-grand range.
4K will still only be for hardcore TV fans, but it will be a mass market. It happened with HDTV, it will happen with 4K as well.

ROM Walks
One of the greatest ways to explore the city is walking at street level through Toronto's neighbourhoods. Guided walking tours are offered for free by ROMwalks every Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon from May through October. Tour leaders from the Royal Ontario Museum's (ROM) Department of Museum Volunteers present thoroughly researched guided tours through some of the city's most distinctive neighbourhoods, visit historic landmarks and illuminate the architectural and historical significance of Toronto's building.
All ROMwalks are free and no reservations are needed, with the exception for ROMwalk Plus walks.
See www.rom.on.ca/en/activities-programs/bus-walks-travel for more details.
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) hosts Mesopotamia in its premiere North American engagement from June 22, 2013 to January 5, 2014. The internationally touring exhibition of the ancient civilization is presented in Toronto by the British Museum in collaboration with the ROM.
More than 3,000 years of accomplishments by the civilization are explored in the exhibition. Widely credited with the invention or development of writing, long-distance communication, law, trade networks, and the first empires, Mesopotamian society also launched and advanced literature and sophisticated art, concurrently with great intellectual, spiritual, and scientific advances. These achievements still influence us today.
Mesopotamia showcases more than 170 priceless objects from the eminent collections of the British Museum. These artifacts, most never before seen in Canada, are augmented by those from the ROM's own renowned collections and other leading institutions, including the University of Chicago Oriental Institute Museum, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (Penn Museum, Philadelphia), and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Presented in a series of well-defined themes, the exhibition features an outstanding selection of artifacts: stunning jewellery, dramatic stone sculptures, and impressive wall reliefs.
