'Abnormal Life'
02 July 2011
'Abnormal Life'
Nashville. Show day.
After waking up to the best non-ironic mainstream newspaper headline in the history of the world ("This just in! Bible may be allegory, shock!"), I took a couple of the tour crew to Mas Tacos for lunch, which made me feel like quite the local. Turns out that they do a breakfast taco on Saturdays, which was almost more than a man could have wished for. I'm having a great Nashville.
Today sees our 100th show of the 360 tour. One hundred performances beneath the space station! By way of joining in the celebration, Tennessee arranged for a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which was very touching. It was stupefyingly hot outside but being a humidity-free heat, I confess to secretly loving it. Growing up in England, the notion that the temperature could ever be too high, or the weather too sunny, would simply never cross your mind. To say that the weather was awful because it was too hot would have been right up there with complaining about the inconvenience of having so high an income. I remember going to the south of France for the first time one teenage Summer and hoping against hope that there might be a day when it was 'unbearably hot'. Had I holidayed in Nashville that year, my hope would certainly have been realised and today, uncomfortable though it was, I still couldn't help but enjoy it.
I managed to get myself a brief art fix, having been tipped off that the "Warhol Live!" show at the Frist was worth a look. The premise of the show is that it presents the elements of Warhol's work that relate to music, dance and television and it's a nice collection. The only disappointment was a room supposedly decked out to represent The Exploding Plastic Inevitable – Warhol's trippy multimedia performance evenings that would feature the likes of The Velvet Underground or The Mothers of Invention, depending on which coast he was on at the time. The gallery room set aside for this was curtained off and contained suitably 60's films, light projections, strobe-lights, etc., and a huge padded seat/bed in the centre, covered in cushions and pillows. There were a few people walking through the gallery and looking a little intimidated so I, being imbued with 60's performance art spirit, lay down amid the cushions to see if I could induce a few hallucinations. Moments later a little security chappie runs in yapping tersely "I'm sorry sir, you may only sit, you may not lie on the pillows". "Oh," I replied confused, "I rather thought that was the whole point." I can't imagine that lying down would have been much of an issue at The Factory.
It's all very well for me to be loving the heat, but I wasn't the one having to run around in a leather jacket for the evening. However, the band did well despite, I'm sure, being at the point of near-collapse throughout. Shane Kimbrough was at the show, he being one of the NASA astronauts that we met in Houston in 2009. It was great to catch up – he was asking about the tour and I said how sad we were that our grand project was about to come to an end. "Well, we feel the same way about the Space Shuttle," he replied. He also told me that he'd been the one to strap Cmdr. Mark Kelly, the astronaut in the 360 show, into his shuttle seat before take off, so they especially enjoyed Beautiful Day.
We did a runner from the stadium to the Air 360 plane and headed to Chicago. I had a window seat and began to notice occasional flashes in the night sky. We seemed to be heading towards them and as we got closer I could see that it was an electrical storm, strobe-lighting the clouds into incredible momentary shapes and colours. We ended up flying right over it, looking down onto a thunder and lightning storm, which looked like the Earth below was melting or exploding. It felt more like a ride in the Space Shuttle than an aeroplane.
Landing in Chicago, for some reason I kept thinking we were in Canada. On arrival at the Hotel Fabulous, we gathered in the bar that had thoughtfully been kept open for us. It was 2am and a few of us bellied-up on bar stools, chatting to pleasant and helpful bartenders and having a bit of a laugh. Having a lot of a laugh, actually, especially when they brought us a plate of chicken wings the size of a small car. I was aware that we were just talking rubbish and were borderline demented but somehow it just wasn't possible to go to bed before 5am. Adrenaline maybe, or just a perfectly normal side-effect of this perfectly abnormal life.

Ankle buster This bed was not great. The frame was a tad longer than a standard mattress, so there was a gap either at the head or foot of the bed. Then, the legs jutted out on the corners and more times than not we slammed our ankles into it causing great pain. It was solid wood and that was great, but the design was not great. I gave it away. It was a pain to put together too.

Don't be blinded by the price I am a frustrated customer. First of all the bed came in great time and is definitely a two person job. Also, they have live assistance who will help you with questions as you put the bed together. Yet, one of the screws broke as we put the bed together (the wood was very difficult to get through on one side of the bed) and the screws we ordered were NEVER delivered. We went to the hardware store and bought our own screws and put the bed together. Then in the middle of the night I hear a CLUNK and look under the bed to see the middle support leg FELL OFF. The inside of the leg that screws on came off and the leg just fell of the bed. We ordered new legs and after 2 weeks of waiting they finally came and they were black instead of wood colored which was weird because the ones we had were wood colored so we thought we had had the wrong legs to begin with... WRONG. They sent us the wrong legs which we learned after we put them on and realized they were too BIG AND regardless one of those legs was broken! It wouldn't screw in all the way! SO my bed was wobbily and broken so we had to put the old (broken) legs back on the bed so that I have somewhere to sleep and I had to call yet again to get new legs to be delivered and just HOPE that these ones are the correct legs and are actualy usable! If I could go back in time I probably would not buy this bed. Save your time and spend a little more money and maybe get something that you can put together in one shot and have it for years. The wood is fantastic, you don't need a box spring (coming from a girl with metal rods in her back so you know I mean business) and the color is great but with all of these issues all in all it just doesn't seem worth it. The bed is nice...maybe you'll have better luck than me.

VERY DISAPPOINTED I read all the reviews before ordering this and felt confident that I had made a well-informed buy... I was so so wrong. First of all, I was missing a few parts. Secondly, one of the end boards didn't have threading AT ALL so I had to go and buy material to put in the hole to allow the screw to stay and tighten and then buy l brackets to ensure that it worked. Also, the center support rail was cracked when we took it out of the box and the 3 support posts that go down the middle were too short and didn't even touch the ground. Now we're going to have to buy a piece of plywood to place inside of it so we don't break all of the supports. I'm so upset about this, I could cry.

Disappointed I felt for the words "Scandinavia", "Materials: Solid Wood, Mixed Hardwoods" and "Sturdy design and construction" and learned my lesson of buying such things online. Material is just simple and cheap engineered wood and it broke in the first night with two people on it. Despite the reviews I did not choose the warranty and protection plan, so I am left with a expensive firewood. Overstock.com? Never again.

Support Rail & Legs Broke after 4 Nights! After reading so many great reviews on this product, I took a chance and I regret it big time. There were missing directions so I had to wait for Overstock to send them to me. After setting the bed up, it appeared to be sturdy and looked decent. After 4 NIGHTS, I heard some loud cracking noises. I got up and noticed that the end (bottom) of the bed was sagging. Upon lifting up the mattress, two of the three support legs were broken and off to the side. I took the mattress off and lifted the frame up. I could clearly see that the support rail was cracked and all three legs were broken (the third support leg was very lose and on it's way to being broken). I wrote to Overstock and hope that they will be very responsive to this issue. I would really like to get my mattress off of the floor and back on a functioning bed frame. After all, I did pay for this product and I expect it to work as expected. ***To Be Continued**Sidenote: I found this bed on the distributor's website and noted that the newer Stockholm Bed has 4 support legs that appear to be of more durable construction. Interesting.

My Daughter Loves It!! Got this as a Christmas present for my daughter. My wife was hesitant about ordering furniture online. After checking around town, we could not find anything that matched the quality, features and price. Love the fact that it's all solid wood. The finish is beautiful. Very minimalistic - but sturdy and functional. Also, got the mattress for this frame from Overstock - love it too!!!

Hello, I did not receive assembly instructions with my order. Please advise to where I can find these online. Thank you.
Hello kathlyn90, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.

Hello yow4714, you will be contacted by a customer care specialist shortly. Thanks for shopping with us!
Is this included with this bed: Two (2) underneath storage areas measure 36 inches wide x 78 inches long x 8 inches deep each? It is not shown. Thank you.
I purchased this a couple of years ago and all that was included was the bed itself, no storage areas
I also purchased this a couple years ago and there is no storage but I think they mean that you have that clearance under the bed for storage. I used it in fact to store out of season clothing in plastic bins and they were out of site so it worked out nicely for me !
Can I attach a headboard?
Yes you can it has two pre-drilled holes for mounting a headboard not a foot board though.
Where is above item made?
Thank you for contacting us collica005. This is made in Indonesia. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I just purchased this bed a few weeks ago. I really like it, but I need a headboard. What do you recommend?
Type in headboards and a bunch come up, If I go in that direction I will buy one that matches the other bedroom furniture I purchased from Sauders.
I used a couple of ENORMOUS dog beds as a headboard, just to prevent my guests from sitting up in bed and leaning back against a cold plaster wall.
My husband took our old headboard and tie wrapped it to the frame - it can't be seen so no harm done!
I made an upholstered headboard.
Assuming I use just a mattress with this frame, how high off the ground is the bottom of the mattress? In other words, how low into the frame (which the information says is 13 inches high) does the mattress sit?
Thank you for contacting us jjohh. From floor to top of mattress wood platform: 11 inches Floor to top of side rail: 14 inches Floor to bottom of side rail: 8 inches Spaces between slats: 3 inches Leg dimensions: 3.25 inches tapers to 2 inches wide x 1.5 inch thick. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I have used with box spring and without. Much better with.
It sit into the frame about 4 inches But from top of my 14 in memory foam mattress to the for is 25ins
why can't overstock answer this very basic question? how far off the ground will the base of the mattress sit in this frame? we can't calculate the overall height of the mattress without knowing at what height it will sit in the frame!
Overstock did answer this question on September 11. The mattress sits 11 inches off the ground, The top of the side rail is 14 inches.
what size is the shipping package? Basically I need to know whether the slats are in one solid piece or whether they come joined with webbing and bunched up, or two pieces, or? If one solid piece, it won't fit up our stairs... Thanks
My slats were stapled to two strips. They were joined together, but they are flexible for movement.
My slats were all separate. We had to screw them all in. That's a lot of screwing.
It will fit up your stairs. Boxes are long an narrow. I have two of these, one queen one double. Both are great for the price.
Do you still have the natural color available?
Natural is no longer available ... the closest lighter color is Medium Oak which is a light brown ... Walnut is a dark brown, Mahogany is a dark burgundy ... Hope this helps
How far apart are the slats from each other? Thank you
Hello vita108, these are about 3.5 inches apart. Thank you for shopping with us.
Are there any compatible color nightstands for the black version of this bed?
Yes, we do. Please see item 13670050, the Escala Black Two-drawer Night Standm item 14045547. the Nova Matte Black Night Stands/ End Tables (Set of 2), very nice and the Escala Black Two-drawer Locking Night Stand, item 13670065. Any one of these three would work beautifully with this bed. Thank you.
I purchased this bed over a year ago, and over time the center support legs that initially did not reach the floor are now barely attached to the bed. I am afraid that the middle of the bed is going to collapse (and I weigh under 120 pounds). Are there any kind of replacement legs or instruction for reattaching the legs once they have stripped the holes they were screwed into? I'd hate to have to purchase a new bed after having this one for such a short period of time.
Have someone look at the support beams while you are laying on the bed. The cross beams are supposed to flex, such that the support legs touch when there is weight placed on them.
That makes sense, but unfortunately the support legs in the center of my bed have stripped the holes they were screwed into, making them so loose when they do touch the floor, they are no longer vertical, but rather at a 30-45 degree angle. This offers absolutely no support to the center of the bed when weight is placed on it.
You can adjust the legs every so often which is not hard even for a small person like yourself. I'm 100 lbs heavier and it stll holds me up
Our middle support never was right. I measure the distance from support to floor, had a piece cut at the lumber yard & put it them in myself. I just have to be careful if I move the bed to take the mattress off so as not to drag it around. That will strip the screws & break it. Good luck!
see it there is a glue you and put into the stripped hoels and attached the leg back into the hole before it dries and it the legs arnt long enough too touch the floor get a block of wood and slide it under the leg until the the bed feels supported a little better. That should help, or get ahold of where you purchased it and see what they can do for you...

mmm placed an order with PureAroma just now – 30ish random teas! woot woot!
Yes but not until AFTER Saturday lol :) and they're all sample sizes so easily sipdown end in 2-4 cups
I should never look at this thread. I saw someone's order from Zen Tea, and decided I needed to try their teas, too. I got 20G each of:
Green Tea-Coconut $2.00
White tea-Toffee Dream $2.20
Rooibos-Vanilla Heaven $1.80
Herb-Tumeric Ginger Organic $0.60
Herb-Bamboo integrity $2.00
Oolong-Bossa Nova $1.80
Oolong-Coconut $3.80
I'm really looking forward to trying the 2 oolongs.
I wanted more samples, not full sizes, as I have a lot of full sizes of unflavored black tea right now. It's the bestest, so that's ok, but I am trying to learn what else I like. I've explored a lot of unflavored teas, so now I'm branching out further, although many of these have a black base.
From Chado tea in California, I got the following dozen 1 ounce samples, all for under 2 dollars each, with 3.95 shipping – the whole order was 23.12USD:
- Green Christmas (green tea, orange peel, almonds, rose petals, cinnamon chips, apple pieces and cinnamon orange spice)
- Orange Blossom Oolong
- Red Fruits (black tea, strawberry, raspberry, red currant and cherry)
- Lychee Tea (black)
- Lemon Tea – with lemon peels (black)
- Sambucca/Licorice Spice (black)
- Phoenix (black tea, honey, caramel, vanilla)
- Almond Tea (black)
- Banana Tea (black)
- Butterscotch Tea (black)
- Samovar – Russian Caravan Fruity (black)
- Mate Carnival (Roasted mate, cocoa, rooibos, sunflower, cactus, cornflowers and almonds)
I'm a bit nervous because they're primarily a teahouse, not chiefly an online retailer, but they had such cheap, big samples and huge selection. I'll be sure to make notes for all of them.
I just ordered my first tea pot :) www.amazon.com/Creative-Home-Ceramic-Teapot-Infuser/dp/B001LQIDE2
2nd tea related order of the day! This time from Den's! :D
Pineapple Sencha (2oz/56g)
Sencha Fuka-midori (2oz/56g)
Hashiri Shincha (2oz/56g)
Teapot Shudei – $5 until 4/30
I KNOW RIGHT? and only $3 for shipping. If you like Japanese greens jump on it!!! :D
If you haven't bought their sampler for green tea novices for $3 I highly recommend it.
Darn. I already have. So I guess it doesn't apply to me? Ah well. Still getting the teapot and their special sale on one of their senchas.
I used my $3 coupon that came with my novice pack to apply to this order :)
Thanks to Stephanie (no sarcasm intended!), I caved in to buy a Japanese green. sigh goodbye, willpower.
Den's Tea:
Teapot Shudei
Sencha Shin-ryoku 2oz (with 20% off)
Have you had the shin-ryoku before? I wonder how it tastes compared to the fuka-midori!
I'm tempted by that tea pot too! I think I can walk away though… I think.
Bought 52 Tea's Pineberry Honeybush
Currently eyeing Mandala teas for my next order, sigh, it'll be a big one too.
1 LB of Jaclyn's Cocomint Tea from Simpson and Vail because I love them and I love that they made me this tea and I need it with me at all times forever. yum!
Just placed my first order from Verdant!
Five Teas for $5 – 10g samplers of:
Laoshan Black
Laoshan Green
Hand Picked Tieguanyin
Yunnan White Jasmine
Shui Jin Gui Wuyi Oolong
and 7g of Master Han's Wild Picked Yunnan Black.
Verdant's $5 sampler also~! I'll finally be able to try Laoshon Black and a Tie Guan Yin.

by Woody Sherman I can't believe what I just saw Maybe you've seen some of the spectacular videos online that feature extreme sports footage. There is nothing more immediately compelling than extreme wide-angle, point-of-view video of people doing something your brain tells you not to do. Personally, I've seen videos of sky-diving, bungee-jumping, and men in aerodynamic "flying squirrel" suits dive-bombing down the fjords of Norway. And while I'm not that adventurous, perhaps you are. If you're a cyclist, water-skier, skateboarder or snow-shoer if your favorite pastime involves speed, the elements, and skill outdoors the Sony HDR-AS15 is for you. Strap it on, stick it on a helmet, tie it to your vehicle. I guarantee it will deliver a level of personal involvement you haven't seen before in your videos. You provide the activity, we'll provide the The Sony HDR-AS15 Action Camcorder Share your exploits in minutes Now take the amazing content you've generated and connect your 'AS15 to an available Wi-Fi® network. Add the available free PlayMemories Mobile app from Sony to your Android or Apple® smartphone or tablet and you'll be able to transfer and compress movie clips and photos from the camera without cables then share them over social networks while you're still mopping your sweaty brow. Rugged and sharp-sighted The 'AS15 comes standard with a custom-crafted waterproof/dirtproof/dustproof enclosure that is rated down to an impressive 197 feet. That's rugged. Plus, the Exmor® R CMOS sensor and Sony's SteadyShot technology will combine to give this camera stable shots and exceptional low light performance. Savor the moment What good is a spectacular shot of a freestyle skier leaping over your head without the ability to stretch the moment with impressive slow-motion? While the 'AS15 shoots lush 1080/30p video, it also captures crisp 720p video at 30, 60 and 120 frames per second. The latter two rates, when played back at 30 fps, give you spectacular 2X and 4X slow-motion, so you can explore technique, equipment performance, or simply enjoy the awesome beauty of a well-played moment. Take it anywhere This camera is extremely compact and lightweight and mounts virtually anywhere. A large button on the back of the camera (and waterproof enclosure) allows you to start and stop recording with a simple button push, even with gloves on. Features:captures HD video in 1080p/30 frames-per-second and 720p/30/60/120 fpsHD SLOW 2x (1280 x 720, 60p) and HD SLOW 4x (1280 x 720, 120p) shoot slow motion, which is ideal for studying and refining form and techniqueWi-Fi-enabled camera shares movies and pictures with compatible Android and Apple® smartphones and tablets through free downloadable PlayMemories Mobile appultra-wide angle Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens gives a sharp, clear 170-degree viewing angleincluded rugged, waterproof housing seals against dust, grime, and mud, and is waterproof to 197 feetSteadyShot® image stabilization with active mode helps to cancel the effects of camera shakethreaded tripod mount is integrated into the waterproof housingHDMI (micro) output enables live streaming to a compatible monitorsnaps 2-megapixel still JPEG imagesinterval recording function can be set to 5/10/30/60 secondsrecords to Memory Stick Micro and Micro SD/SDHC cards (not included)Exmor® R CMOS sensor gives great performance in low-light situationsincludes camera, battery, adhesive mounts, waterproof case, micro USB cable, manualTechnical Specs:includes NP-BX1 lithium ion batteryUSB port for easy connection to a PC (cable included)micro HDMI port for easy playback on an HDTV (cable not included)1"W x 1-7/8"H x 3-1/4"Dweight: 3.17 oz. with battery and memorywarranty: 1 year parts, 90 days laborOur 60-day money-back guarantee Shoot videos for posterity or posting online From birthday parties to YouTube antics, camcorders let you capture moments you can share with friends and family, or the world at large.

great value Written By hachimachi808, honolulu, hi on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Picked this up for myself during the black Friday period. For what I paid, it is the best action camera for the price. The features and specs and brand name speak for it. The software update was very easy and now I can do 1080p 60p great for slowing things down when action gets good! Battery life is good. I was able to do a time lapse with 5sec interval shots, it shot for a approx 4 hours before it died(sunrise, I went back to sleep!). I use the WiFi function regularly rarely have issues connecting with iPad air and sony xperia z smartphone. Overall if your in the market but don't want to pay a premium for the as30 or gopro lineup get on it! Pros: Slim, lightweight, battery life, WiFi Cons: Mounting options are limited but it uses a standard threading so any tripod mount will work.
Really nice action camera for the price Written By grunner, North Hero, VT on Wednesday, October 02, 2013 I really like this camera. It has great picture quality and is intuitive to use. The WiFi is really handy as it provides a view on your iPod device to "see" what your shooting. I have used this for both video and time-lapse and the results exceeded my expectations. It seems to be very well built, and the picture quality is very good, especially at 60fps. All the features worked flawlessly out of the box. I had read some complaints on difficulty connecting / using the WiFi feature with a iPod -but, it connected fine and consistently for me -but, I only used for setup/review - trying to download pictures is painfully slow and it seems much more practical to simply upload to your computer. Battery life seems typical for this type of device. Nothing Is perfect and I wish Sony would have provided a means to use the camera on a tripod, without requiring the use of the protective case. However, for a few dollars, I found that a universal cell phone type tripod mount works well to allow you to mount the camera without the protected case. With the case, the form factor is a bit awkward and adds a lot of weight -- too bad it could not have been built such that it would not need the protective case to protect it from the elements -similar to the Polaroid or Contour action cameras.
Sony HDR-AS15 Awesome action cam Written By Muddy puppy, Chicago, il on Friday, September 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love this little camera. It's my first action cam and am very impressed by the quality of the Sony. I do have to say that the instructions that are included in the box are almost impossible to read. Your best bet is plugging the cam into your computer and opening up the instruction file thats loaded on the camera itself. The image quality seems to be what I read it would be. For the price this is a great entry level cam that I see no need to improve on. Pros: quality, lens, ease of use, and battery life. Cons: instruction booklet.
OK Written By Escapemax, Trenton, NJ on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not a bad camera. VGA mode is Blury on a monitor(PC). Std is better. Pros: Small in size to mount to my Yamaha Majesty, WiFi to connect to Android Tablet Cons: Sony Mounts are HUGE. No mounting Stud (1/4 x20 Standard camera mount) on Camera. Only on Plastic box. Made my own wooden mount to attach to dash of motorcycle. Battery could last a little longer.
Really small Written By Jimbo, Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday, June 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Super small form factor, really easy to set up. Great picture! Pros: Super small Cons: mounts on side of head, not in front.
Nice little camera Written By Doug, Knoxville, TN on Monday, June 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the price it's a great little camera. It has a new downloadable upgrade that give you a new 1080p 60p. The new upgrade also allows you to turn off the button beep. At the new resolution the camera provides some pretty good video. With the waterproof case on the sound is almost non existent, but what would you expect with the mic behind a plastic waterproof shell. Sony sells an optional lens cover that has a few small holes in it to get your sound back. You won't be able to dive with it on, but fine for snow skiing. If you want professional sound underwater, get a professional camera. For the price though, this camera rocks. It's a little heavy with the waterproof case on, so I guess I'll see how well the mounts work this winter while I'm skiing. Pros: New 1080p 60p mode with download. Small and compact. Great video. Cons: Just a little heavy with the waterproof case on.
Video: Sony Action Camcorders by Zak Billmeier If you're a cyclist, water-skier, skateboarder or snow-shoer - if your favorite pastime involves speed, the elements, and skill outdoors - a Sony Action Camcorder is for you. Strap it on, stick it on...

Standard ileostomy - diet; Brooke ileostomy - diet; Continent ileostomy - diet; Abdominal pouch - diet; End ileostomy - diet; Ostomy - diet
You had an injury or disease in your digestive system and needed an operation called an ileostomy. The operation changed the way your body gets rid of waste (stool, feces, or poop).
Now you have an opening called a stoma in your belly. Waste will pass through the stoma into a pouch that collects it. You will need to take care of the stoma and empty the pouch many times a day.
People who have had an ileostomy can usually eat a normal diet. But some foods may cause problems. Foods that may be fine for some people may cause trouble for others.
Your pouch should be sealed well enough to prevent any odor from leaking out. You may notice more odor when you empty your pouch after you eat certain foods. Some of these foods are onions, garlic, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, fish, some cheeses, eggs, baked beans, Brussels sprouts, and alcohol.
Doing these things will keep down the odor:
Control gas, if it is a problem:
Try eating 5 or 6 small meals a day.
It is OK to try new foods, but try only 1 at a time. That way, if you have any trouble, you will know which food caused the problem.
Unless you are underweight because of your surgery or any other illness, try not to gain weight. It is not healthy for you, and it may change how your ostomy works or fits.
When you feel sick to your stomach:

How long did it take Bill W. to take the 12 Steps?
In reading Bill's Story, Chapter 1, Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill describes each of the actions that he took to have a spiritual awakening that removed his compulsion and obsession to drink -- and brought about a profound change in him, that allowed him to live the rest of his life sober -- and never to drink again.
The actions that he took became the basis for our 12 Steps, that were later written down and published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, providing the instructions so that we could also take the same Steps that Bill took -- and, we could recover also.
In reading Bill's Story -- can you determine how long it took Bill to take the actions, that became our 12 Steps?
How long did it take him?

Car Brakes: How Do You Know When to Change Them?
By Zach Bowman For those who suffer a daily commute through heavy traffic, your vehicle's braking system can bring thousands of pounds of metal, plastic and empty Starbucks cups to a stop hundreds of times before you get to work. It goes without saying that these pieces wear out, but they do so slowly, meaning you may not notice they need attention until ...

Jaeger-LeCoultre's affinity with the 7th Art is all about two worlds infused with the same creative effervescence, inspired from a longstanding tradition and the absolute quest of excellence. Jaeger-LeCoultre gives a particular support to those who daily contribute to create and bring life to the art of filmmaking, and attaches great importance to the preservation of its heritage.
Official partner of the Venice International Film Festival for almost a decade, Jaeger-LeCoultre confers each year the Glory to the Filmmaker Award to a filmmaker chosen by the director of the festival.
Since April 2013, as part of the actions of the "Film Society of Lincoln Center" in New York, Jaeger-LeCoultre has launched the Filmmaker in Residence Program, an initiative which supports a filmmaker in the realization of his future projects. On the occasion of the Shanghai International Film Festival, Jaeger-LeCoultre works to protect the Chinese cinematographic heritage by funding the restoration of old movies.
Also sponsor of the films festivals of San Sebastian, Toronto, Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles, Jaeger-LeCoultre is committed to supporting the cinema in all its diversity by standing behind the camera, alongside the artists.
Cinema according to Jaeger-leCoultre
Jaeger-LeCoultre and Cinema
She belongs to a long line of artists. On her father's side, Carmen is the granddaughter of one of the greatest geniuses of the 20th century, the actor, writer, director and composer Charlie Chaplin, and great-granddaughter of the playwright Eugene O'Neill. On her mother's side, she is the granddaughter of painter Patrick Betaudier.
Born in London and raised in Spain and France, the actress, screenwriter and director currently works between Paris, London and New York. Carmen worked with directors such as André Téchiné alongside Catherine Deneuve, Chiara Mastroianni and Daniel Auteuil in My Favorite Season, which opened the Cannes Film Festival in 1993. She co-starred with Ewan McGregor in Philippe Rousselot's The Serpent's Kiss, and appears in Sydney Pollack's Sabrina, as well as Jay Anania's Day on Fire,alongside Olympia Dukakis and Martin Donovan, and with Eva Mendes in All About the Benjamins, directed by Kevin Bray. She has just completed Tryst in Paname, her first short film, which she wrote and directed in Paris, starring her sister Dolores Chaplin and Bambou Gainsbourg. Carmen is currently preparing Bombay Nights, her first feature film, which she also co-wrote and will direct next year in India. She is also preparing a series of documentaries entitled Screen Goddess, co-produced with Rosalie Miller and Sandra Rudich, a series of intimate conversations with two legendary women of cinema, one an icon and the other her successor.
"I love antique watches and the idea that they have a past and a story to tell… Imagining there is a mechanism as precise as a heart-beat behind these tiny dials fascinates me."
Carmen Chaplin, descendant of one of the great legends of cinema, and Jaeger-LeCoultre have a story to share concerning the Memovox watch owned by Charlie Chaplin. They decided to make an art project of it, the short film A Time for Everything, that will have its premiere on the occasion of Jaeger-LeCoultre 180th anniversary celebrations.
Actor, director, producer, screenwriter and composer, Charlie Chaplin only had one great adversary. "My only enemy is Time", he often said. Perhaps in the spirit of supporting him in that battle, the country of watchmaking presented him with a timepiece in 1953, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox.
This unique watch was passed down from one wrist to another, through the generations, like a symbol of eternity...This was undoubtedly the reason that Carmen decided to act in this short film alongside her mother and her daughter Uma, three generations of women from the same family to illustrate the idea of transmission, the passage of time and inheritance.
A faithful partner of the Venice International Film Festival for the last 10 years, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Swiss watchmaking Manufacture is to further strengthen its links with the city of Venice on the occasion of a new collaboration with a unique venue dedicated to art: the ""Scuola Grande di San Rocco"".
Jaeger-LeCoultre has recently discovered this exceptional locale in Venice immortalised in the works of an artist from times past, the painter Tintoretto (1518-1594). Captivated by this heritage and the beauty of the venue, it seemed a natural choice for Jaeger-LeCoultre to sponsor the Brotherhood of the Scuola Grande de San Rocco.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is to launch a three-year restoration programme with a series of donations. The lights and marblework of the Entrance Hall and the Grand Upper Ballroom will be restored so as to return this unique place to its full glory.
Jaeger-LeCoultre also partners with the Shanghai International Film Festival. Within this context, Jaeger-LeCoultre organises a gala evening and a charity auction aimed at funding film production in China as well as restoring several classic Chinese films. During the 2014 Shanghai International Film Festival, a screening of 'Chinese Film Masterpieces Restored by Jaeger-LeCoultre' is to showcase the results of this project.
James Franco is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher and author. He began his career on FREAKS AND GEEKS and received a Golden Globe Award for his performance in the biographical film JAMES DEAN. Notable film credits include OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, SPRING BREAKERS, "Harry Osborn" in the SPIDER-MAN trilogy, MILK, THIS IS THE END, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor, and 127 HOURS, for which he received an Academy Award nomination, as well as SAG and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor. He has directed several features including CHILD OF GOD, AS I LAY DYING, SAL, SATURDAY NIGHT, and THE BROKEN TOWER. He has been published several times in magazines and books and is currently teaching college courses at UCLA, USC and CAL ARTS and acting classes at STUDIO 4. He recently made his Broadway debut in OF MICE AND MEN this spring to rave reviews and directed the off-Broadway play THE LONG SHRIFT.
With regards to the Venice Film Festival, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture pays tribute to creative ingenuity of filmmakers by conferring the Glory to the Filmmaker Award to a personality "who has brought great innovation to contemporary cinema". At the Venice International Film Festival, the list of past honourees makes for fascinating reading: Takeshi Kitano (2007), Abbas Kiarostami (2008), Agnès Varda (2008), Sylvester Stallone (2009), Mani Ratnam (2010), Al Pacino (2011), Spike Lee (2012), Ettore Scola (2013), the first Italian director to receive this award, and James Franco (2014).
Lisandro Alonso has been described as a maverick of the New Argentine Cinema, one of the most accomplished and original artists working in Latin American cinema today.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1975, the filmmaker has directed four features prior to this year: LA LIBERTAD (2001), LOS MUERTOS (2004), FANTASMA (2006), and LIVERPOOL (2008), all of which have premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and have established his reputation as a creator of a minimalist cinema that bends the traditions of both documentary and narrative film.
His work has been acknowledged on several occasions including the prestigious FIPRESCI Prize, the Award given by the International Federation of Film Critics during films festivals worldwide. Lisandro Alonso also debuted his most recent work, JAUJA, starring Viggo Mortensen, at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, where the film won the FIPRESCI Prize and was nominated for the "Un Certain Regard" Award.
As part of their multi-year partnership, Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Film Society of Lincoln Center launched the "Filmmaker in Residence" initiative in 2013. An annual initiative designed to further cement both organizations' roles within the film community, and support of the arts. Each year, an artist will have the opportunity to focus on developing or refining new works in New York City. During the residency, the emerging or established talent may participate in master classes, mentorships or cultural exchange and enrichment film programs with the Film Society of Lincoln members, the film community and the public. In 2013, English filmmaker Andrea Arnold utilized her residency to develop the script and work on pre-production details for her next film "American Honey", followed by Argentinian filmmaker Lisandro Alonso in 2014.
Sophie Desmarais: Sophie garnered critical acclaim in Sarah Prefers to Run that rocketed her to the top of Indiewire's "10 Actors to Watch" list at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. She made her English-language feature film debut in Head in the Clouds, cast opposite Charlize Theron and Penélope Cruz. Sophie can next be seen in Qu'est-ce qu'on fait ici?, Henri Henri and Gurov and Anna.
Julia Sarah Stone: Julia had her breakout performance in The Year Dolly Parton Was My Mom for which she won the prize for Best Performance in an International Feature at the LA Young Artist Awards. Julia stars in the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival selection Wet Bum and can next be seen in Every Thing Will Be Fine, Vernon God Little, and F/X pilot, How and Why.
Shannon Kook: Shannon Kook made guest appearances on the popular CBC series The Border and Being Erica, Disney XD's Aaron Stone, and the award-winning HBO series Durham County. He had his breakout performance in The Conjuring. Shannon can next be seen in Dark Places.
Alexandre Landry: Alexandre had his major breakout performance in Gabrielle directed by Louise Archambault for which he garnered critical acclaim and international awards. Alexandre can be seen at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival in a starring role in L'amour au temps de la guerre civile.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is proud to celebrate every year one of the Film Society of Lincoln Center's most prestigious events: the Annual Chaplin Award Gala.
The Film Society's Annual Gala began in 1972 and honored Charlie Chaplin, who returned to the U.S. from exile to accept the commendation. Since then, the award has been renamed for Chaplin, and has honored many of the film industry's most notable talents, including Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Laurence Olivier, Federico Fellini, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, James Stewart, Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Michael Douglas, Sidney Poitier, Catherine Deneuve, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in 2015.
A spirit of solidarity will reign at the competition again this year in the form of the "Time to smile: No time to waste, just lives to transform" charitable initiative which aims to keep a smile on the faces of children suffering from cancer. Among the activities on offer at the 62nd edition of the San Sebastián Film Festival will be an exhibition of photographs by Belén Rueda, Eduard Fernández, Imanol Arias, Juana Acosta, Manuela Vellés and Miguel Ángel Muñoz who, as special contributors, agreed to donate their pictures (focused on the theme of Childhood, Solidarity and Time) to this charitable initiative. These will be on display in the Jaeger-LeCoultre VIP Lounge in Hotel María Cristina.
Jaeger-LeCoultre, the world's first Swiss watchmaker founded in 1833, will sponsor the San Sebastián Film Festival for the third year running and will join forces with the Fundación Aladina charity to run a project to help children in need.

The art of making time stand still, of sublimating the moment, of giving life to a work that is unique because it is fashioned by the human hand. The art of revealing an artist's unique vision of time. Filmmaker, watchmaker, actor, jeweller… each artist is an artisan of emotions. For nine consecutive years, Jaeger-LeCoultre has paid tribute to the talent of these creators of wonderment.
From 28th August to 7th September, 2013, on the occasion of the 70th Venice International Film Festival organized by the Biennale di Venezia, Jaeger-LeCoultre will unveil its own dream cast of exceptional haute horlogerie creations and present its Jubilee collection.
As a loyal sponsor, Jaeger-LeCoultre will be actively involved in all major events of the festival, adorning the stars with its finest creations and presenting a personalized Reverso watch to the winners of the Best Film (Leone d'Oro, the Golden Lion Award), the Best Actress and Best Actor of the year (Coppa Volpi Awards). The watches will feature a lacquered engraving depicting a lion, the symbol of Venice, handcrafted in accordance with the finest traditions, and bear the inscription "70. Mostra"".For close to a decade, Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre has recognized the creative ingenuity of filmmakers through the Glory to the Filmmaker Award at the Venice International Film Festival, presented to a personality that has brought "great innovation to contemporary cinema"".Past honorees included Takeshi Kitano in 2007, Agnès Varda and Abbas Kirostami in 2008, Sylvester Stallone in 2009, Indian film director Mani Ratnam in 2010, Al Pacino in 2011 and Spike Lee in 2012.
For the third consecutive year Jaeger-LeCoultre renews its commitment to the charity initiative in support of the Emergency association.
In 2011, Jaeger-LeCoultre announced that it would partner with the Shanghai International Film Festival for a period of three years, the primary purpose of which was to support the restoration of a number of classic Chinese films. This was the first time that a private watch company had made a commitment to support the restoration of classic films in China. The company has remained a steadfast supporter in this endeavour to conserve China's rich cinematic history.
2012 - Jaeger-LeCoultre once again seals its bond with art and cinema sponsoring for the first year the San Sebastián International Film Festival in Spain, in honour of its 60th edition. During the festival a selection of the best international films from the four corners of the globe will compete for the Golden Shell and other official Festival awards.

PNC Park set for Polanco's arrival vs. Cubs
Wood looks to spoil prospect's debut and even series
Gregory Polanco made the announcement himself: The wait for Pirates fans is over.
Polanco, the Pirates' top prospect, was promoted from Triple-A on Monday night and will make his much-anticipated debut Tuesday against the Cubs. The 22-year-old outfielder has hit .347 this season with seven homers and 49 RBIs.
"Our goal is to bring him here when we feel it's the right time," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said Sunday. "In an ideal world, we'd like to get him some more plate appearances down there. What he's doing has allowed us to shorten that time frame a little bit."
The right time came Monday night when second baseman Neil Walker hit the disabled list with an appendectomy. That opened the door for Polanco, rated as baseball's No. 12 prospect by MLB.com.
All eyes will be on Polanco in his debut as he attempts to spark a Pirates team that finds itself three games below .500 and 7 1/2 games back in the National League Central.
Meanwhile, starter Francisco Liriano will continue to seek consistency. The left-hander's season began with six shutout innings against the Cubs, but has since been marked by erratic pitching and odd results. He will have an opportunity to face Chicago a second time when the teams meet Tuesday in Pittsburgh for the second game of a four-game series.
Liriano's first and lone victory didn't come until May 30, and despite allowing just a bunt single in five innings in his last start, he took a loss by walking six and allowing three runs (two earned).
"Too many walks, getting behind the count too much. Not executing pitches. Three-two counts on almost every hitter," Liriano said, listing mistakes following his sixth loss.
After posting a 3.02 ERA last season, Liriano enters his 14th start with a 4.54 ERA. He has surrendered at least four earned runs in six of his 13 starts, compared to doing so seven times in 26 starts last year.
As he seeks to regain the form that he found last season and carried into his first start this year, Liriano will face a Cubs team he has had success against. With his season-opening start -- a no-decision in which he struck out 10 -- Liriano has posted a career 2.36 ERA in seven career starts against the Cubs.
Cubs starter Travis Wood, who allowed two runs on four hits over five innings in a no-decision his last time out, will oppose Liriano. In his last outing, Wood walked a season-high five batters, but helped himself by hitting a two-run homer and driving in another run on a fielder's choice.
While Liriano's top performance this season came against the Cubs, one of Wood's came against the Pirates. The right-hander lasted six innings allowing one run in his second start of the season against Pittsburgh.
The Cubs, meanwhile, are attempting to carry on the momentum they began to find at home. Chicago won five of six games on their last homestand before starting a 10-game road trip on Monday in Pittsburgh, where it lost 6-2.
The Cubs are 10-22 on the road this season, leaving manager Rick Renteria eager to see if his team can carry recent success at Wrigley Field to its road trip.
"More than anything it's my interest to see if we can continue to play good baseball," Renteria said. "The results, they'll take care of themselves."
The Pirates will have extra help Tuesday, with the long-awaited arrival of Polanco.
Cubs: Carrying success to the road
In their last road trip at the end of May, the Cubs went 4-6 with two series against first-place teams in the National League as stops included San Diego, San Francisco and Milwaukee.
The Cubs followed that trip up with five straight victories at Wrigley Field before suffering a one-run loss Sunday against Miami. While the Cubs are one game above .500 (15-14) at home this season, they are seeking to use the 10-game road trip that started Monday to inch closer to .500 overall.
Chicago is currently in a stretch of playing 20 of 26 games on the road. That stretch will end with this road trip June 18.
"We had a good chance on our last road trip, we were one game from being .500," Renteria said. "It's like hitting -- sometimes you struggle and a guy wants to get 10 hits in one at-bat. You've got to simplify and get back to playing the game and go pitch to pitch. I know it's all cliches, but you have to minimize the mistakes and have a good solid ballgame."
Pirates: Pittsburgh has new strategy to slow Bonifacio
When the Cubs and Pirates met for six games back in April, the Cubs' Emilio Bonifacio was a thorn in the Pirates' side.
Bonifacio went 16-for-30 (.533) in those six games, and went 11-for-16 against the Bucs in April at PNC Park. The Pirates certainly noticed, and planned to approach Bonifacio differently this time around.
"He was hitting .600 last time we saw him, but now he's found some more common ground where more of the hitters stay," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "We found some areas where other teams were pitching him and having some success, so we'll see if we can replicate that."
Whatever the Pirates did, it worked Monday as Bonifacio went 0-for-4 in the first of four games between the teams this week.
Worth noting
• With the 6-2 series-opening victory Monday at PNC Park, the Pirates have now gone 5-2 against the Cubs this season.
• Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen is hitting .390 (23-for-59) in his last 15 games played at PNC Park after going 2-for-4 Monday night with a two-run homer and 3 RBIs. McCutchen is 2-for-20 all-time against Wood.
• Cubs pitchers have surrendered Major League-low 40 home runs this season. Two of those came Monday against the Pirates.
