Drugmakers for Health Reform
Quinn Phillips
August 10, 2009
For years, many politicians — a large number of them Democrats — have decried the influence of pharmaceutical companies on health-care policy and denounced them collectively as a special interest group. Now, it seems, their relationship with the industry has become more friendly.
As the debate over health-care reform heats up this summer — sometimes reaching an especially fierce level — the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the industry's main lobbying group, has authorized spending $150 million on television advertisements to support the Democrats' reform proposals. According to an Associated Press article, for comparison, Senator John McCain spent $84 million on his fall general election campaign for president last year. The PhRMA's biggest advertising push is set to begin around Labor Day.
According to some speculation, the industry's support for reform is based on the expectation that if legislation extends prescription drug coverage to more Americans, more prescriptions will be filled and profits will increase. But there are also suspicions that an agreement between PhRMA and the Obama administration announced a few weeks ago — that the industry would cut $80 billion in drug costs over 10 years — is a sign that the industry expects no further threats to its profits from Congress in return for supporting reform efforts. Many Democrats in Congress have expressed support, for example, for allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies to lower the program's drug costs, but it is not clear whether any such provision will be included in health-care reform legislation .
What do you think — is it appropriate for leaders in Congress or for the White House to negotiate with industry lobbyists? Should pharmaceutical companies have a say in what kind of health-care reform Congress passes? Is it a good thing for companies to agree to concessions, or is this the wrong approach to reform? Should lobbyists be able to play the role they currently do in Washington? Leave a comment below!
Obama's health plan will cost us so much money in taxes and we will recieve care that is poor and many of the older people will recieve less care. Just look at the Plan D drug coverage. The ones that benefited from that is the insurance industry. Fortunately at this time I have exceptionally good medical coverage at about $600 per month. If you are over 60 you need good coverage because the cost of treat and prescription is rising at an astronomical rate. It is not fair that the pay to doctors is not equal across the country. I hope that Obama's plan fails just as Hillary's plan failed. We do not need government to run health care but we do need regulation on the health care industry particulary insurance companies. Why would the same drug be in three different tiers?

This is an example of what is wrong with our government. Wonder how much they will donate to the election campaign coffers. This is an example of what the French author, de Touqueville wrote. He said that the American (USA) experiment would continue until it's citizens found they could vote themselves largess paid for by their fellow citizen's.

I believe that that money could be spent better, reducing the cost of drugs. I am not in favor of the Obabma health care. I don't think Obama knows what is covered under the health care he is proposing. He is changing this country, with too much debt, and I am not in favor of it.

Free enterprise built and is the backbone of our economy. To a point. When advantage is taken of those who must have a product ( and drugs are not the only category) to the point of their detriment, then greed has set in. Greed is what needs to be addressed. Maybe setting a limit to profits gained in certain areas. You may remember a pill given to sheep at a cost of $0.21 a pill was found to address certain symptoms in humans. The cost rose to $55.00 a dose. Now that is shameful greed. Not that Obama's answer is the best but it is a start. All the allarmists raising all the horror stories are in part just a bid for status quo and that will ruin us for sure. Our democracy (which should be a Republis as it was founded)is in trouble. Although I don't agree with Obama 100% there is merit in what he wants to change, and change is truly what we need. Without it we are on a downward spiral of the old politic/big business brotherhood bleeding the country dry.

Another reason not to nationalize health care, but to patch what we have. Problems don't get solved by being taken over by government, they just change. Drug companies aren't stupid. They know that if they support the plan, and support the politicians, the "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" effect will keep them wealthy. Perhaps they'll be protected from lawsuits. Perhaps drugs will be fast-tracked, so their research and development costs won't be so prohibitive. Perhas they'll be guaranteed a profit from newly developed drugs. Either way, they win. Do we?
Posted by: Israel H | Aug 12, 2009 06:03 PM
What are they agreeing to? So far as I can tell nobody seems to know what is in the bill(s). My Rep hasn't even read the proposed legislation he supports. I do not trust the drug companies, and their support of the legislation makes me even less likely to support it. It is all about money, power, and control. And you can bet that the patient isn't going to have any of it when this deal is done.

My husbands company canceled all the employees health insurance. I'm a diabetic and he has hepatitis c. We live in a state that the insurance companys don't have to cover us because of our prexisting. Our doctors dropped us because we no longer have insurance. We go to new doctors who complain that we don't have insurance (even the office staff has hassled us about this.) The new doctor changed my insulin to a generic, HE said I couldn't afford the name brand any more. SIGN ME UP for Obama health care.

No they should not have a say. The people of the U. S. should have the same insurance as the Senate and Congress, then we would all be happy.

Coverge is great; but people need to not just have blinders on thinking, insurance coverage, coverage, coverage. People need to think who will pay, how will it be paid, who will suffer from this great thing. Read the bill before you decide to follow the heard to enact the bill. It might hae too many negative strings. After all, it is not just the president, it is the senate, the house, the Clinton people advising the president, and others involved lobbying. I have been without insurance, I have been a cancer patient; so don't tell me the woes of no coverage. Too much, too fast, not planned well. Most of the things coming out of the Congress have been shoved upon us costing many bucks. Also it is not a political party thing, just common sense.

I personally hate the idea of the govenment being this involved in my healthcare. Or, much of anything else for that matter. I deplore Obama's ideas; they are going to again affect the working middle class. I don't care what he says! Money doesn't grow on trees. I think we need to stop the hemorrhaging of our healthcare dollars being spent so freely on the illegal aliens and medicaid folks that pay nothing for their healthcare. This country is in a world of hurt and people need to start taking things into their own hands. We need to start taking responsibility for ourselves and stop expecting the government to bail us out of every problem that many of us get ourselves into! For heaven sakes...millions of low income people get what they need everyday! They use the ER for clinics and abuse the system all the time. I don't believe in "free healthcare" There is no such thing as, "Free anything"!

What is the big deal? What is new here? Lobbists have always been in the deep pockets of our leaders. Proven rule to live by, "when in doudt follow the money" Yes Pharmaceutial company will make big money. Universities will make big dollars from grants from tax payers to study Global warming. The Rich will find a way to pass their higher tax load on to others. Just follow the money and you will alway find out who wins or loses. Most times it's us the consumer.

I have TriCare (military) coverage. Because the government has negotiated with drug companies for controlled costs I pay $24 every 3 months for all my meds (6). Yes, we need a government option in health care. Yes there is a formulary limiting exactly what drugs I can get. Yes many of my drugs are generic. I don't care. I get the drugs I need. So could millions of low income people get what they need.

I'm not sure if anyone is asking the right questions. The house bill is over 1000 pages, but I have yet to hear anyone ask "Who wrote it?". Can anyone point to a Congressperson or staff that wrote it and ask them questions about what is in it. A bill that size does not just show up out of the blue. The President talks about his plan, but has anyone asked to see it in writing? To the best of my knowledge, no written plan has been promulgated by the President. How can you discuss a plan that hasn't been written. No one in the media or congress has asked to see it apparently. I am also very suspicious when large corporations (or any group for that matter) spend huge amounts of money pushing for a program that is not well understood. There has to be a lot more going on in the background than what is being reported.

Obama started his campaign to reform the American health care system by declaring that he wanted to cover the uninsured (a number he overstated). His plan won't do that. Then he started saying he wanted to lower the cost of healthcare. His plan won't do that, either. (He actually meant price, not cost, since he is not addressing the costs that are making prices rise.) Now he is putting the blame on the insurance companies. He wants us to put our healthcare in the hands of the people who run the post office and Medicare. Is it any wonder that we don't trust him? The proposed healthcare reform bill will bankrupt America and lead to a rapid deterioration of our health care system. Don't let this happen!
Posted by: Donna C | Aug 17, 2009 03:24 PM
As with most government legislation, the majority of the cost of this plan will be spent on the bureaucrasy to manage it. Wouldn't that money be better spent on direct patient care and benefits? Tax breaks for insurance premiums and grants to community free clinics would be more efficient. And where in the constitution does it say that the it is the duty of the government to provide heath care?

Because everyone knows Christ loves him some tasteful porn, here's Heidi Montag posing for the September issue of Playboy, and I pretty much feel like I'm reading the Bible right now. Mostly because I don't believe any of this is real and I want to beat Spencer Pratt about the face with it. No nudity clause. REPENT!
@lauri- stop lying.
don't you need to be 18 to buy playboy? if so, why is there no tits?
Um where is her neck?
Such a butterface
No Tits, No Pussy, No ass in this pictures!!!! At least we watch them free hope this Playboy Edition go to hell!!!
Biggest letdown of the year.
Overhyped, undertalented tease.
I still would though
Seriously… when did Playboy go softcore? I bet Hugh Hefner's rolling over in his grave and… wait… really? He isn't dead yet? You're kidding?
No complaints here. She slipped a (little) nip in #3, and she was completely naked in #6. It was enough for me this morning.
No nips? What the hell is the point?
Christ that is a nasty woman / child / thing. I would rather see Paris Hilton's diseased body over this thing,…
fucking disgusting. when is someone going to poison her already?
Shit, anything is better than Lauren Conrad.
Wow… Playboy's current track record of non-nude shoots is destabilizing my pop-culture history. WTF, what's with all of the 'tastefully covered up' chicks. Playboy's for nudes, don't fuck around with it by appeasing celebrities.
Just so everybody knows, she was paid
$$ 500, 000 $$
to do this.
first pic doesnt even look like her – thank god.
This is terrible… no nudity in a Playboy!!!
That being said… I would love to bang the shit out of her… horse face or not.
Umm, I think you mis-labeled this…it is clearly a Maxim photoshoot… isn't Playboy for nude photos?
I actually think she looks pretty good from the neck down.
These pics aren't worth buying an issue of Playboy, though.
This will be the final nail in playboys coffin. after being made almost completely irrelevant by the internet playboy could still sell because it could at least offer c/d level celebrities desperate for attention willing to show their goods. but now that they're not even giving that they have nothing to offer at all.
Wayyyy too much plastic in that body for me. If I want to fantisize about that much plastic, I'll stick to Barbie, thank you very much.
You can undress a horse, you just can't make it pretty.
Is it me, or does it look like her face is photo shopped onto a body in some pictures?
Either way…the pictures are awful, her body is too fake, gross and disproportionate. It's not attractive trying to look like a human Barbie. But then again, she has no brain.
WTF has happend to Playboy.
Aren't women in Playboy SUPPOSED to be nude?!
so basically this is just like her other 'photoshoots' that she does.
what is going on in the first picture? they can't be serious with that, right?
46, you are wrong. heidi does a fine job all on her own giving herself a bad name.
so basically this is just like her other 'photoshoots' that she does.

pure fucking crap
no nudity.
Wow Maxim.
Let us all prepare to bow to a true Playboy goddess. If there's one thing the showbiz world could use a bit more of, in my opinion, it's a curve or two and Heidi delivers from every angle!
This radiant beauty will be the most sought after actress not because of her talent but due how she glows like a nova star. PERFECT!
She was paid half a million to show nothing that is BS. Let this horse faced bitch die in obscurity.
I think that "face" in the first pic is going to haunt me for all eternity. I cringe to think that these were considered the BEST pics from the entire shoot.
38 said it best. lmfao!
1. Her tits are fake
2. She has no ass
3. She's got only one facial expression – Zoolander style.
4. Bitch, please.
She´s really not beautiful
#1 doesn't even look like her. What the HELL is wrong with her eyes in #8??? She has a really nice body, regardless of Photoshop, I'll give her that. But that face…is only a jockey could love. Doink!
Playboy without full nudity is like beer without alcohol – wtf is the point?!
If I were Hef I'd strangle that worthless vapid suckhole with the tie she's wearing.
What a waste of money that was.
Playboy lost it's edge years ago….. Jesus, Maxim has more skin than this.
Even her usual bikini candids/photoshoots reveal more than this. Pathetic job by playboy.
You know its comical that her normal 'photo ops' are 10x more staged than these, taken in a studio. In any photo she is disgusting and man-made. Ewww.
Love it. I know her tits are fake, and I know her ass would be delicious.
If she never spoke people would love her.
Air brush you say? GOOD!!! Thank you for making her look hot so I have something good to perv on.
Welcome to my "spank bank"…well…welcome back.
I'd hit it!! sure she's got a horse face, but thats a pretty good lookin' body. Let's be honest about that people.
Disconjugate gaze. C'mon, there has to be at least one other doctor out there…
Swamp donkey
her nose is completely inconsistent in all the pictures, especially the bridge area. some pictures are sculpted and defined nostrils while the others are relatively normal looking. if you're going to photoshop, at least make it consistent.
Okay…I'll bite….
She looks hot, I got and erection, I masturbated thinking about her.
There, I said it.
@ThisGuy …agreed. And I'd be ok with your sloppy seconds.
why would i buy a playboy to see a covered up girl when i can get the same pictures from any other magazine?
I would rip that christian butthole wide open.
She's so pretty. I just don't understand what she is doing with that weird, wimpy boyfriend.
Yuck! No redeeming features, she looks nasty and plasticky
Back in the 1800′s they would have ridden her to deliver the mail. Not sure what I hate more about her. Looking at her, Listening to her, or the fact that she believes in all that false jesus crap.
WTF If I wanted to see horses I rather go to the Racetrack, for sure I'll se more nudity there too.
Hey, did anybody see the resembling post to Lady Gaga and HM in the So Freaking Hot column? :D
And what's up with the hair?

Ever encountered biased teachers in nsg school? - page 2
Sigh ive been trynig hard for a while, have 2 mos to go actually. Today i made a mistake in terms of calculating the time due of an IV. She (our clinical instructor) yelled at me that the NOD looked at me, and my classmates said... Read More
- 0Oct 14, '09 by ljones428Keep your head up!! I also had a situation like this. My clinical teacher didn't like me for some reason. I would spend hours perfecting my care plans, learning meds, patho., and everything possible because I knew she would still question and give me a hard time. All I can say is DON'T GIVE UP! You will make it!!
I think this is one of the biggest issues in nursing schools. Teachers can be so subjective! Teachers will give some students bad grades on care planes, databases, etc. and give others A's and the paperwork will be the same! At least this happens in every semester at my school!
- 1Oct 14, '09 by LuxCalidaNPSadly, this is all too commonly accepted norm in the medical world, but especially in Nursing. Per the whole eating-your-young theory, I wonder if nurses who "got it give it." Making up for receiving demeaning lectures is an unfortunate highlight of having dealt with the medical hierarchical system. DOWN with pulling rank!
- 0Oct 14, '09 by systolyQuote from bowser301I see what you mean now. As others have said: do what you need to do to graduate. I do shiver at the thought of trying to befriend someone who has no trouble to publicly belittle those under their care.oh systoly , i meant biased because shes always picked on me. everytime shes the cI i seem to make all these dumb mistakes..im scared of her and she knows it. i go all clumsy. and who wouldnt if someone yells at you in your face in front of a lot of people.
maybe i should "try" to joke around w/ her and be her friend apparently you cant be just a student or a neutral person to teachers anymore or else they wouldnt like you.
- 0Oct 15, '09 by dannyc12Quote from bowser301Get used to it. More specifically, gain some skills in not letting it get to you.Sigh ive been trynig hard for a while, have 2 mos to go actually.
Today i made a mistake in terms of calculating the time due of an IV. She (our clinical instructor) yelled at me that the NOD looked at me, and my classmates said she was talking to me like i was a first grader.
We had our Oral Med Administration checkoff the other day. Up till now, our Lab Instructors have been rather low key and helpful. This particular checkoff was different. We were given almost no information on how the test would go or insight into ways they would try to trip us up. We tested in groups of 5.
As we walked into the lab, the normally reasonable instructors began yelling at us like recruits on their way to basic training. "DROP YOUR THINGS!! GO FIND AN OPEN STATION!! HURRY UP!! NOW!! NOW!!" My immediate internal reaction was bemusement, but I tried to remain outwardly calm and nonresponsive as I gathered my stuff while they wailed and walked to an open station. A classmate walked in behind me and the instructors shifted their "wrath" to her. I almost laughed out loud at her shocked reaction to the R. Lee Ermey act.
After I finished the test, which I passed, I figured out the reason for the shenanigans: They wanted about a third of us to fail our first pass. Why? I came up with a few reasons:
1. Patient Safety. They didn't want this to be a test where we were given the answers. They wanted to see how we would react to completely random and unpredictable occurrences while passing meds. Our program values it's clinical sites and does not want to lose one because some dumbass student passed Med Administrations without being challenged. The Drill Sgt. act was contrived to get our heart rates up and rattle us before we even got to the test.
2. Educational Opportunity. Students can learn a hell of a lot from failing. We get three tries and the students who get remediation do have good learning experiences - including working under stress.
3. Program Validation. They must figure no Nursing Program worth it's salt has more than a 70% first-pass rate on Medication Administration checkoffs.
4. Recent graduate student screw up. One of my programs grads apparently went through a bunch of Pyxis machines emptying them of a drug because his calculation said he should give 100 tablets. Someone asked him what he was doing after he hit the 3rd machine. I think they want to shake that prospective guy out before he can take his boards.
Not that I wasn't rattled during my test. My tester for the Skills section was none other than my program's Dean and that was my first time meeting her. I stumbled around like a goon but I got it done.
I learned a lot about how to prepare for future checkoffs: It's kind of like a Haunted House the way things are thrown at you, but try to be as prepared, calm, and focused as you can. And don't worry about failing your first pass, we all are fodder for the mill at one time or another.
Good luck

***** Antiques & Interior Decorating New Headlines
We read about the shortage of new young collectors. but the young people
will be furnishing their homes.
And a quote from Marcia Brown
"The older people, from 50 on up, usually are going for the antiques ...
and the younger people, who are more or less starting their home,
are the ones who are looking for interior decorating,"
And a quote from Leigh Keno, "In today's world, we mix modern and old and there's no such thing as a period room anymore."
And a quote from the Harwington Antique Show management+ "More and more, consumers and style-makers are looking to antique shows as a resource for trends in home design," said Jenkins. "We're moving away from the 'stuff in grandma's attic' image and toward offering a mix of hip, cool and unique items with a range of price points and something for everyone. I think this is going to be the most diverse show in New England."

Not much is known about about Lunar: Silver Star Touch, not even which version it's based on. We can all assume it won't be the GBA version, Lunar Legend, right?

"Tiz, please. You're getting bumpkin all over my feral bikini woman fantasy. "
As much as I'm sick of all the Lunar remakes/ports, this one sorta amuses me. I can poke Nash and he will do things!
Also weird tidbit, but SoMoGa also did a iPhone/iPod Touch port for Vay, which was an old Sega CD game.
I'm expecting this'll pretty much be an iOS version of Silver Star Harmony, so really just a straight port.
can't we just get another version of Eternal Blue already? was hoping for a remake/port of it to PSP after Silver Star Harmony
I think they're going for the World Record of Most Ported Game with Lunar.
They've still got a looong way to go before they catch up with Ys.
But I can tell they're working on it!
At least Ys has an actual library of games to pick and choose from. As far as I'm concerned, there are only 2 Lunar games.
Maybe they could, you know, make a new one. Properly.
There was a GBA version? I know not of what you speak of.
I would say FFIV completely beats Lunar: The Silver Star in the number of remakes/ports. Lunar is trying to catch up, but still has a ways to go.
Which is a shame to say about FFIV because to me it's the second best FF game in the series, but now it has been completely run into the ground.
Eh, well at least the greatest (FFVI) is not being completely massacred as well.
I am all for seeing a remake or two from time to time. I would love to see XSEED's project now that TitS 1 is done to be Ys IV and Ys V (yes this would be remakes, but remakes of games that didn't come to NA and EU) and the next TitS
But the numbers above are just excessive and unnecessary. Just because a game was good doesn't mean that it needs to be remade on every console and portable console of every future gen for eternity.
If anyone is in disagreement though, I would like to get your point of view.
I mean, your getting this pov from a guy that also loathes the wave of excess multi-platform gaming we are getting this gen; because I think competition is a good thing.

It would be nice if Game Arts would work on a Lunar 3 rather than the wave of remakes, lol

It's been a long time coming, but calorie counts will be arriving on menu boards at restaurants, groceries, theaters and most places that sell fresh food.
Researchers have shown that people who cook at home instead of eating out end up consuming less fat and fewer calories without even trying.
A new study has shown that a group of food companies cut trillions of calories, mostly from junk food, but questions remain about the pact's overall effect.
Low-carb appeared to be superior to low-fat for weight loss in a recent study. The results ignited comments from all sides of the diet debate.
Hidden sugars are everywhere: in sauces, processed and frozen foods, and condiments. How much is too much?
Nutrition science has changed over the past 20 years, but nutrition labels on food haven't — until now.
A new provision in the health care law mandates chain restaurants to post the calories in each menu item.
A new study has found that Subway patrons eat about as many calories as those who go to McDonald's.
The 2010 health care law requires chain prepared food sellers to post calorie counts on their menus, but implementation isn't going to be easy.
Ahead of federally-mandated menu changes, McDonald's is voluntarily posting nutritional information alongside menu items.
A new study says our bodies don't readily absorb nutrients from veggies, like beta-carotene and lycopene, without a little fat.
Is junk food really cheaper than healthy food? The USDA says it depends how you do the math.
The newest product of the bacon craze comes from Burger King, but it has nothing to do with burgers.
Federal regulations coming next year will require many restaurant chains to list the number of calories in the food they serve.
One study claims that we eat nearly 600 more calories per day than people did in the mid 1970s. But, the obesity epidemic is more complicated than that.
Customers of the hamburger chain will also be able to substitute French fries for apple slices in kids meals.
In addition to white potatoes, starch-heavy corn and peas are also in danger of being cut in favor of leafy greens and orange vegetables.
A group of health professionals is pressuring McDonald's to stop marketing towards children by using their iconic clown.
Five San Antonio elementary schools have unveiled new "calorie cams" to see how many calories their children are consuming.
Soda has been targeted by public health advocates as a leading contributor to the obesity epidemic. See the ways the industry is trying to change its image.

>General Running>Hey NZers
I'm sure there are lots of beautiful places to run in Auckland, but any in particular that you would recommend? (From a starting point near Albert Park...)
"Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain."
Jack Kerouac
My husband and I went there on our honeymoon, and we ran from the harbor to One Tree Hill (about 13 miles) on the Coast to Coast trail. It's not really a trail (some of it winds through neighborhoods on sidewalks), but it was very enjoyable!
Hi! I'm not a NZer but I did live in across the Northern Motorway for a year. If you're up for a beautiful, beautiful run that doesn't quite start around Albert Park, head across the little ferry to Devonport and run the perimeter beaches: Devonport, Belmont, Takapuna, Milford, Castor Bay...all the way up to Long Bay, where you get to run through tall grass fields and hear the wind rushing through it and cows mooing!! Bring a camera because it's a treat for the eyes, body and soul! I absolutely loved running on the hard sand, across little stone seawalls where you had to time getting across so as to not get sprayed by the waves, and then heading uphill through some tramping paths to stunning ocean vistas. I miss those runs.
Another fave run was just running the path/sidewalk to Mission Bay! I think I used to start around Quay Street, and ran along Tamaki Drive, around Mission Bay to Saint Heliers...I can't quite remember if I turned back or kept going but on a sunny day? niiiiice!
For something close by Albert Park best choices are the Auckland Domain which is on the other side of the University just down the road. It's around a 4-5k loop around that. Otherwise along Tamaki drive as TechW mentioned.
2012 Goals: Sub 3:30 Marathon (Auckland - 3:28:21), Sub 1:45 Half (Lydiard - 1:41:26)
2013 Goals: Sub 3:15 Marathon, Sub 1:30 Half
Loves the outdoors
an amazing likeness
I believe RA member Vinodrinker is an Auckland runner. You might want to PM him.
Choosing my words carefully has never been my strength I've been known to be vague and often pointless
Awesome, thanks, folks... I'll check those places out.
And nzrun, I'll likely be down to Wellington at some point, so I'll be hitting you up for recommendations then!

Thank you, I would SO love to own a yarn store!! You have my dream job :)Delete
I meant to ask you. Round 8...is that a mis-print. It is the same as row 7 except for the number of single crochets in parenthesis. We just crossed out row 8 and it worked out.ReplyDelete
Cindy BeeReplies
How did it turn out? I checked on my original copy and I have the same thing! I want to say ignore row 8 and proceed, but without testing it, I dont want to tell you wrong! I think it is most important to have 66 stitches at the end, so there is enough fabric to sew onto the clasps. I dont have time to test it right now, but I will ask around for volunteers. I am so sorry, I usually double check myself. If you are willing to share your findings, or test the pattern, let me know, I would appreciate it! also, I did find and post the red coin purse's pattern. Thank you!Delete
I went over this pattern today and made correction. Thank youDelete

HoopsHype Stephon Marbury rumors
Stephon Marbury's about to lose his SECOND home due to foreclosure, at least if his bank gets its way ... because the former NBA star has allegedly failed to pay his mortgage yet again. U.S. Bank International filed legal docs against Marbury, claiming he hasn't made mortgage payments on his 2-bedroom 2-bathroom NYC condo since March 2010, and currently owes $844,035 on the property ... which he purchased in 2006 for more than a million dollars. TMZ.com
World Peace recently completed a trip to Beijing and Qingdao, which further fueled his idea of playing in China should he be waived. A league source told ESPNLosAngeles.com that World Peace has explored the option of playing in China through conversations with former NBA players who have made the leap, figuring out if the path blazed by the likes of Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and Gilbert Arenas would be right for him. "You don't live twice," World Peace said. "You're not 33 twice. You won't be able to play in China at a good level again. I wouldn't be able to play in China again averaging, maybe, 40 or more points. That would be fun." ESPN.com
Former NBA star Stephon Marbury said he no longer has the desire to return to the world's most popular league while describing his ongoing stint playing professional basketball in China as more gratifying. "I don't have the desire to play in the NBA anymore," Marbury told a handful of scribes during a Tuesday dinner held in his honor at EDSA Shangrila in Ortigas. Tempo
Much of the attention players now pay to personal style began after the NBA instituted its dress code in 2005. That code essentially forced athletes into a more polished, business-casual mold whenever they are on team or league business. It prohibits shorts and tank tops, for instance, along with chains and medallions, and forced some players to revamp their wardrobe. At the time, Britto was working with both Latrell Sprewell and Stephon Marbury. "While some of the players didn't agree with [the new rules], I went to Ozwald Boateng and a couple of designers in New York, Ron & Ron. Latrell commissioned upward of $350,000 in suits from Ron & Ron," Britto said. "You had guys wanting to have the personality they played with on the court reflected in their personal style." Washington Post
Stephon Marbury's ex-mistress is hell-bent on collecting her hush money from the ex-NBA star ... even if that means going after his precious assets, like a couple of luxury cars. TMZ broke the story ... Marbury and Thurayyah Mitchell -- the personal chef he boinked, while he was married, back in 2006 -- had an agreement: she would keep quiet about the affair, as long as he coughed up $900,000. Problem is ... Marbury stopped making payments around the $600,000 mark, so Mitchell dragged the NBA star to court earlier this year, where a judge ordered him to pony up the remaining $331,584.50. TMZ.com
Still, his China ambitions are not done yet as he has started down another career path - as a basketball coach. The opportunity came when Beijing Ducks head coach Min Lulei invited him to be his assistant during the National Games preliminaries last month in Chongqing. "It's pretty amazing. It's humbling ... it's something that you don't expect to happen so quickly," the 36-year-old told China Daily recently after helping Beijing qualify for the final stage of the high-profile event. "I made no secret that I want to coach basketball here in China and I want to be part of the growth and development here. This is definitely the beginning." China.org.cn
Marbury is also keenly aware of the cultural differences. Whereas basketball is an entertainment business in the US, it remains an outlet to show Olympic might for China. With that comes enormous pressure from media and Olympic-success obsessed officials. But Marbury, who has been dubbed "Ma Zhengwei (Commissar Ma)" by his legions of fans, remains upbeat. "I know (winning Olympic medals) is the most important thing, the CBA's been a platform for players to prepare to be that type to win a medal," he said. "That's the most important thing. "I feel like I have the resources and the understanding that it would take to not only win, but to build the guys up to the point where they will be able to play at that high level consistently. "I would love to be one of the people to help to do that. That would be a huge accomplishment in China's basketball history." China.org.cn
Stephon Marbury's Beijing Ducks may have been sent home packing earlier than expected, but Marbury will be sticking around in Beijing to start another China career: coaching. In an interview on BTV, the 36 year-old guard announced that he will serve as an assistant coach for Beijing as they prepare to participate in the 2013 China National Games. He will work under his CBA head coach Min Lulei, who serves the same position for the Beijing Ducks. The National Games, which happen once every four years, are completely separate from the Chinese Basketball Association season. As a sort of intra-China Olympics, the National Games pit the country's different provinces against each other in various athletic events, including basketball. NiuBBall.com
Marbury's addition to the coaching staff comes on the heels of other big news this week. The Beijing team got a boost when it was announced that Sun Yue, who plays for Beijing Aoshen — a team that is not part of the Chinese Basketball Association — will be representing Beijing at the Games, in addition to several other Aoshen players. A longtime key contributor for the National Team, Sun will be one of the best players in the tournament. NiuBBall.com
Stephon Marbury on Wang Zhelin, an 18-year-old Chinese young talent: "He's really good, he'll definitely be an NBA player one day. He need to improve his strength, but he's only 18 years old. He has to train hard, train with the right people and train smart." Bifenpai
In an interview with Bifenpai, Stephon Marbury admits that he wants to coach the Chinese National Team one day: "If they gave me the oppotunity, I would accept it. They have to continue to work hard, I think especially on their strength and conditioning. But the strength part is more important because the skills are there, I think they have to add more things. You don't have to take away things, because I think they're on the right path in China." Bifenpai
Ex-NBA star Stephon Marbury blasted the Chinese Basketball Association's (CBA) strict sponsorship rules after he was fined for failing to cover up the logo on his own-brand shoes, state media reported yesterday. Marbury, whose Starbury line of basketball shoes is proving a hit in China, said it was "not right" that players were forced to wear footwear made by league sponsor Li Ning, or conceal the logo when wearing another brand. "Every player has his right to wear what shoes are right for his feet to protect his body and wellbeing while playing on the court," Marbury told the China Daily. BusinessWorld Online Edition
Ex-NBA star Stephon Marbury is refusing to pay another cent in hush money to a former mistress -- who worked as his private chef back in 2006 -- claiming his ex-lover isn't entitled to any cash ... because she blabbed their little secret to the world. You'll recall, the mistress -- a woman named Thurayyah Mitchell -- filed court docs back in October, trying to force Marbury to make good on the $300,000 he allegedly owed her as part of their confidentiality agreement. Mitchell claimed Marbury -- who's married with kids -- agreed to pay her $900,000 in exchange for her silence regarding the 2006 affair, but stopped making payments in 2010 ... after only coughing up $600,000. TMZ.com
Stephon Marbury showed the way by taking a detour around Europe and being the first NBA superstar who signed in Chinese CBA. Gilbert Arenas is ready to follow his footsteps. According to sources near the situation the former superstar of Washington Wizards has a deal with Shanghai Sharks after a week of practicing with them. EuroHoops.net
He had problems on court in New York, but former Knicks' star Stephon Marbury was scoring plenty at home — with his family's personal chef, bombshell court papers reveal. Marbury carried on an affair with chef Thurayyah Mitchell, and offered her nearly $1 million so his wife and the Knicks — who were dealing with their own sexual-harassment problems at the time — wouldn't learn about it, court papers disclose. New York Post
"Starbury" fired her in 2006, and Mitchell complained that she'd been the victim of sexual harassment. Marbury said he had considered their relationship "consensual" — but offered her $900,000 to keep her mouth shut. New York Post

|I don't know Dave Ablauf all
I don't know Dave Ablauf all that well, so take this as just an opinion, but when I volunteered for the athletic department when I was a student (2001), I worked with all the SIDs, including Dave, who was great from the little contact I had with him (football SID is obviously much busier than most of the other SIDs). So he's been there for a very long time and was Bruce Madej's right hand man (I assume he has taken Bruce's place with Bruce retiring). I doubt Dave is just a "Brandon guy" and is instead bringing up Harbaugh comments that were pretty disrespectful. I remember being on this blog when they were said and everyone ready to go to their local Ann Arbor torch & pitchfork store to skewer Harbaugh for life. I seem to remember a Mike Hart comment being "well, he just blew any chance he had of ever being Michigan coach"....time heals all wounds (and then some) I suppose.

|That 2nd point is key here.
That 2nd point is key here. The recruits Beilein appeals to are the ones you want because they're gym rats and love the game and have a strong desire to get better. I'd rather have the kids that sign up because they buy in to what Beilein is selling in terms of becoming better than say, the top 25 recruit that signs up because of the glam & glitz of a Midnight Madness or the prestige of being a basketball player at a Kentucky or Kansas.
Not to mention, looking at previous years of the top 247 recruits, outside of the top 5 or 10 recruits, it's pretty hit or miss with the top guys. At this point, I'll trust Beilein's ability to identify the guys he wants out of the remaining guys that aren't in that top 5 or 10.

Given that he clearly lied about it being slipped in his drink, dude should be suspended that full year (or worse given that he lied). But the more important matter here is that he gets help for what looks like an addiction.

Wait, you said the Utah game scares you a lot. A lot a lot. But you gave it a 6.5 on the worry-meter, shouldn't it be like an 8? Because yes, that game makes me more nervous than any game, save MSU/OSU. If M loses there, they are 2-2 (most likely) and the players could easily lose confidence yet again, ala last season. Then they have to go on the road to Rutgers with that lack of confidence, and gulp, 2-3 could be staring them in the face....

Honestly, I felt immediately after the game that it wasn't as bad as the scoreboard indicated. In part because of the final boxscore, but also, it just didn't seem THAT bad while I was watching it. Having said that, it did seem like one team (ND) was in complete control and knew exactly what they were doing, while another (M) seemed to be feeling things out and scrambling to have it all come together. Given the change in OC and the change in defensive philosophy, it would seem this would make a bit of a sense....here's to hoping it gels as the season goes along.

Ace, glad to hear you're doing better and hope it continues. If I may ask, do you have any recommendations for a type of doctor you went to for food allergy tests/advice or for CFS? The reason I ask is that I've suffered through something that I'm not sure what it is. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, but the treatment I've had for it has put it into remission according to my GI doc. All the while, I'm still suffering all kinds of symptoms of something, GI related symptoms as well as some strange chronic fatigue/light-headedness/lack of focus that comes and goes at random times. Getting the Crohn's in remission has helped, but only like 20-40% helped. While I don't necessarily think I'm gluten intolerant (I don't feel worse after eating pasta/bread), I do think it could be a different food allergy issue or CFS even (though again I'm not sure that I have that as my situation isn't as bad as a number of stories I've read on the internet....but I am glad I have an office job because there is no way I could do physical work when I'm suffering through one of my "fatigue bouts"). So in summation, do you have a type of doc you could recommend? CFS seems to be something that all the docs I've talked to don't have much of a clue about and food allergy seems to be well down their list of possible causes.
Thanks! And keep spreading the word, chronic illness f'n sucks.

|At least the first part of
At least the first part of that is inaccurate. ND got 3 points off of the turnovers. So the question becomes how do you lose by 28 and give up less than 300 yds of offense? I mean, it was 21-0 at halftime with 0 turnovers at that point.
I'm with a number of the folks that are saying this wasn't as bad as the scoreboard indicated, but it was as bad as what your eyes were seeing. ND looked in complete control and M was just looked like they were scrambling, trying to fit into new systems on both O and D. The most alarming thing to me though is how this team completely wilts and essentially quits when the going gets tough, specifically on the road. Guess I fell for all the offseason "this team is so much tighter, we're all best buds now, leadership everywhere" talk.

It's definitely not better than the standard jerseys, but I don't think it will look anywhere near as bad on game day as it does here....at least I hope so.

Throughout the race Gladius hung out.
From the 500 metres until passing the 300 metres Triquetra was held up for clear running.
Near the 300 metres Abdaan shifted out to obtain a run and in doing so brushed Joplin.
Trainer M Dale was notified that a warning had been placed on the filly for hanging out. A subsequent veterinary examination of revealed the filly to be suffering a slower than normal recovery and a veterinary certificate of fitness is required prior to Gladius racing again. M Dale advised stewards that the filly would now be spelled.
Race 2 – SWISSE WELLNESS TROPHY - 1800 metres:
Picture Editor was slow to begin (2L).
Whisper Downs raced three wide without cover throughout.
Near the 1400 metres Ulundi, which was over racing, shifted in when being restrained off the heels of Picture Editor and tightened Above in onto Orbital Motion, resulting in Orbital Motion having to be eased.
K McEvoy (Zaamore NZ) could offer no explanation for the gelding's disappointing performance other than he was left in a position further back than desired. A subsequent veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormality.
M Rodd, rider of Orbital Motion, which performed below market expectations, explained that the gelding, which failed to run out the trip, would be better suited over a shorter journey. A subsequent veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormality.
R Myers (Micken NZ) was fined $400 for breaching the provisions of AR137(A)(5)(ii) ($200) in that she used her whip on ten occasions in a forehand manner prior to the 100 metres and AR137(A)(5)(i)($200) of which two were consecutive.
M Neilson (Pelicano) was fined $400 for breaching the provisions of AR137(A)(5)(a)(ii) ($200) in that he used his whip on ten occasions in a forehand manner prior to the 100 metres and AR137(A)(5)(a)(i) ($200) of which one was consecutive.

After passing the 200 metres Dystopia got unbalanced when obtaining a narrow run between Tykook and Mrs Onassis.
C Williams (Serene Star) explained that the mare was a little disappointing and felt awkward in its stride when racing down the straight 1100 metres for the first time. It was for this reason he elected to shift from the inside of the track to the outside passing the 600 metres in an attempt to find a position where the mare felt more comfortable for the run home. When approaching the 200 metres Serene Star was then held up for clear running and had to shift out for a clear run.

When put under pressure approaching the 400 metres Burndiniburn commenced to hang in and did so for the remainder of the race.
Stewards questioned B Shinn regarding his riding of Brave Soul. B Shinn advised that the filly was slow to begin and due to the quick pace in the early and middle stages he elected to ride Brave Soul off the speed with cover in an attempt to allow the filly to balance and finish the race off. He added that Brave Soul is normally ridden in this manner as the filly has a short sharp sprint at the end of her races. B Shinn reported that he was instructed to ride the filly quietly in the early and middle stages, as if ridden closer on the speed she has, in previous starts, weakened over the concluding stages. B Shinn added that the filly did not travel on the bridle in the early and middle stages due to the quick speed and that he began to let her down near the 300 metres but was unable to pull ground on Shamal Wind, which he had been following. Trainer J Pride confirmed the instructions given and advised that whilst he would have liked to have seen the filly settle a little closer mid race, he was not critical of the ride given the nature of the instructions and that the filly had been tardy to begin. Mr Pride reiterated that Brave Soul has a short sharp sprint at the end of its races and if ridden differently does not run on. Stewards ordered a post race veterinary examination of Brave Soul and the report was of no abnormality found.
D Oliver, rider of Agueeda, which performed below market expectations, explained that the filly may have come to the end of its preparation.

I've had the WORST throbbing headache all weekend (that doesn't even go away with tylenol), and it's still there today. I called the doctor this morning since my fingers also started to swell this weekend (my ring is 1/2 size too big, and it's suddenly so tight that it leaves an indent), and with those two sudden symptoms combined, they wanted me to come in ASAP this morning to check my BP.
Well, I had to wait for my manager to show up at work (he picked today to be 2 1/2 hours late...he told me he was going to be an hour late, and then texted me 5 mins before he walked through the door, saying, oops, I meant 9:30, not 8:30), but as soon as he got there and I told him what was going on, he said to go ahead and just leave right then (and I hope he felt like a jacka.ss for being so late and making me wait--he's actually late quite often, just usually not as late as today).
Anyway, they checked my BP, and it's only 112/60 (normal for me), no protein in my urine, so she gave me a prescription for butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine, and even though I took it over an hour ago, my headache is still there, ugh! I'm not dehydrated, so that's not what's causing it either. So frustrating!!
MrsHark122:I have a headache right now too. I'd say drink a real coke too... ice pack on the head... and honestly - maybe a massage. A massage might be the cure. I think it would really help mine!
Coke usually helps me. Drink a coke and take a bath and lay down in a dark room. I feel for you!

I could only find one walkthrough for the game at youtube under mariofan110 user name. The walkthrough is video and did help me in the few areas that I got stuck in.
The controls are easy to learn and it's lots of fun to go around bashing things up to get the little jewels.
I played it for a week, then decided I had to have it.
A "Crash" course in 3D platforming

And just like the other installments, Mind over Mutant is a 3D platformer; you go from one point to another, jump over lots of stuff, collect lots of stuff, beat stuff up and do special moves.
But Mind Over Mutant suffers from the same headaches many other 3D platformers have.
First, a fixed camera that makes it hard to navigate the route, especially when you're walking towards said camera.
Then, the game has you backtracking several times over. In the middle of the game, I went though the same section three time in a row. That's far too much.
Third, the map is not very helpful; it's easy to get lost. When you do get lost, the game will try your patience as you make a very long trek to get back on track.
And some of the jumps made me grit my teeth in anger as I watch Crash fall to his death - several times over.
Still, there are some good thing about Mind Over Mutant. The mutant powers at your disposal are ingenious and fun. Beating up small guys with a huge monster is very fulfilling.
And I like the art style of the cut scenes (which are hilarious.) The story does tend to drag a bit, most notably in the middle where in order to get past a door you have to go through a long walk into the desert to get a creature that will open said door.
Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a game to rent and try - then you decide if you want to buy it or not.

That a big mutant... I bet I can ride it!

Basically, Crash has to protect Wumpa Village (Mushroom Kingdom) from the evil Dr. Cortex (Bowser). Crash disposes of a host of generic minions (goombas and koopas), gains power-ups (fire flower) and collects orbs (coins). Occasionally, he'll fight a boss battle (koopa kids).
I know, Crash is different: he rides mutants. This is the main difference that sets him apart from other platform heroes. You can hop on the big monsters in the game and use their unique talents to advance in the level or simply waste other enemies. These mutants, as well as Crash, can gain levels while collecting orbs. The more orbs you collect while using the fire monster, the more strength upgrades you get. These monsters can die, but experience is applied to the type of monster, so no worries.
When playing Crash, smacking minions around can greatly increase your multiplier, up to 20x. This means all your orbs give you more experience, very useful at higher levels. Each upgrade gives Crash a nice bonus to spin strength, health punching power, etc. But if you get hit just once, you lose your multiplier and have to start again.
There are technical flaws with jumping and ridge climbing which comes with the control scheme. Some of the monsters have wonky controls or slow attacks, making them hinder rather than help. The cartoon cutscenes are clever, but far too long. And there's significant backtracking.
Crash should be respected for surviving in a genre full of icons. But he doesn't have enough of an identity to truly stand out. You'll like Crash, but you won't love him.

(EW.com) -- Director Baz Luhrmann's 3-D film "The Great Gatsby" will open in theaters nationwide and in Canada on May 10, then worldwide the following week. The film was initially scheduled to hit theaters on Christmas day, but Warner Bros. pushed the release back last August.
The adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton.
The film will now be able to "beat on, against the current" as it will no longer be competing with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Les Misérables, This is 40, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained, and other December blockbusters.
"Audiences have been looking forward to Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of one of the most beloved books of all time, and we felt this beautifully extravagant and dramatic film would be a perfect way for us to kick off our Summer slate," president of Warner Bros. domestic distribution Dan Fellman said in a press release.

This year's Rock The Bells started yesterday in San Bernardino, CA. One of the most anticipated performances was a hologram of Eazy-E collaborating with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The seven-minute performance included renditions of "Boyz In the Hood" and "Straight Out Of Compton." In an interview with the LA Times about the making of the Eazy-E hologram, Rock the Bells founder Chang Weisberg said he was inspired by last year's Coachella, where Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg played with a hologram of Tupac. Read the full interview here, and watch yesterday's entire 7-minute performance below.

I hope you enjoyed my paintings. There are a few more, including the banner on this blog.
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

What is the difference between interpersonal and intrapersonal?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The difference is that "interpersonal" refers to relationships or actions that take place between two or more people while "intrapersonal" refers to things that go on exclusively within one person.
"Inter" is a prefix meaning "between." That is why, in the US, we have interstate highways. These are highways that go between states. We have intermediate schools in some places. These are schools that go between grade school and high school. Similarly, we have interpersonal relations that are between two or more people.
"Intra" is a prefix meaning "within." In schools, we sometimes have intramural sports. This means that the sports are "within the walls" of the school. They are sports played against teams from within the same school. Similarly, we have intrapersonal issues which exist only within one person.

Canoe and Kayak Racks?

I have a buddy who is in the process of opening a canoe and kayak business and is in need of racks for numerous hulls. A google search didn't bring a whole lot and the costs were up there. What do shops in your area use? Do they make their own, have some make them?

Inmate left alone at East Kingston police station stole heroin, broke into locker containing gun, drove police cruiser say officials
Jarred Brisbois is suspected of breaking into the police department on May 11 while he was supposed to be washing cruisers and doing other odd jobs as part of an inmate trusty program run by the Rockingham County jail.
The new details into the break-in that authorities say put the public, law enforcement, and others at risk were revealed this morning at a press conference with Rockingham County Sheriff Michael Downing, County Attorney James Reams and Deputy County Attorney Tom Reid.
The inmate, Jarred Brisbois, is suspected of breaking into the police department on May 11 while he was supposed to be washing cruisers and doing other odd jobs as part of an inmate trusty program run by the Rockingham County jail.
Reams said Brisbois used heroin at the police department and smuggled drugs into the jail, prompting an investigation by the sheriff's department.
"The trusties are supposed to be supervised and the departments exercise their judgment in the level of supervision to provide for them. In this particular case, a trusty was taken to a police department on a Saturday. There was no other staff at the police department. When an officer left on patrol, the trusty was left alone in the police department for a period of hours where he had access to police equipment, police property, and tools which enabled him to break into the evidence room, which had been secured and locked," Reid said.
Reid said investigators believe he ingested heroin and smoked marijuana before being returned to the jail under the influence.
He is also suspected of smuggling heroin and a hypodermic syringe into the jail where items were shared with other inmates who tested positive for use of controlled drugs, Reid said.
The trusty program overseen by jail Superintendent Stephen Church allows low-risk minimum security inmates to perform landscaping, cleaning and other work at Rockingham County facilities like the nursing home and local police departments.
Officials say the incident in East Kingston has raised serious questions about the program's safety and level of supervision. The program was temporarily suspended.
"This is obviously a matter of significant public concern. Concern for anyone who may have been at the PD that day or could have come into contact with this inmate while he was alone, and we're concerned for the safety of the inmate and we're concerned for the safety of the other inmates at the jail who were able to obtain controlled drugs, the origin of which they didn't know," Reid said.
Authorities do not believe anything was taken from the officer's locker that was allegedly broken into that day, but the inmate had access to the officer's duty belt which had his handgun, Taser and handcuffs.
The state Attorney General's Office has also asked the County Attorney's Office to investigate the integrity of the evidence room as the incident may have compromised evidence in East Kingston police cases, but the extent is not known, according to Reams.
"The integrity of the evidence room is in question so we need to look into it to see how many cases were affected by his invasion of that room," Reams said.
Reid said Brisbois was initially incarcerated on a theft conviction with a sentence that allowed him to enter drug rehabilitation. He stopped attending after a day and was then returned to jail and sentenced for violating probation in January. He is now not expected to be released until November.
Brisbois has not yet been charged in connection with the East Kingston case.

KELLER minimal windows® convince the experts
The main interest of specialists and architects on the KELLER booth has pointed on the innovative sliding window system minimal windows®. Two years ago, the world innovation caused already a lot of excitement. This year again, the look of the experts has centred on the latest developments of the concept. For KELLER at Troisvierges, who particularly made their name with most exclusive conservatories, mainly with the Orangerie Elegance, the main intend was to increase and strengthen the business partner network in Europe and worldwide. Meanwhile, the concept of the large-scale minimal windows® sliding elements has been constructed under license contract in the Middle East and India. The BAU trade fair in Munich is the ideal platform to socialize with potential new partners and to get a strong brand KELLER minimal windows® positioned within the global competition.
The minimal windows fix and sliding frames were developed in-house at Keller, and are characterised by almost frameless transparency. The entire concept can also be used as an integral component of a home conservatory. Large-scale insulated glass elements and slim profiles are completely on trend in contemporary architecture. The concept embodies the highest level of cosiness and comfort and offers long-term and systematic security based on functional and aesthetic innovation.
