Many teenage girls feel sad, stressed, angry, or confused from time to time. These are normal growing pains. But sometimes these feelings last a long time or become too big to bear. When teens feel stressed, terribly angry, violent, numb to the world, or so sad they think they will never feel better, they may consider taking their own life. Girls are more likely than boys to attempt suicide, although boys are four times more likely to actually kill themselves. If anyone talks of suicide, it is very serious. Seek medical help immediately. Who is at most risk? Teens who u have tried to commit suicide before u are depressed u have a history of alcohol or drug abuse u have a close family member who has attempted or committed suicide u are already coping with depression or alcohol/drug abuse, and then also face a serious loss or stressful situation u have easy access to a gun, particularly at home u have recently read, seen, or heard about other teenagers who have committed suicide u have been physically or sexually abused u are in jail.

They are sad without knowing why. About 1 in 10 mothers may experience more serious post-partum depression. 7 Menopause and midlife bring changes to your body and feelings. Changing hormone levels can cause mood swings. Aging parents, children leaving home, or the serious illness of someone you love often add stress during this time. Develop ways to cope with stress, find positive friendships, and fit in activities you enjoy. Take care of yourself and be alert for signs of mental health problems. Ask for help if you feel you need it. The senior years are the best time of life for some women. For others, they can bring on depression and anxiety. These are not normal signs of getting older. They are signs that you may need help. Get treatment if you need it. To promote good mental health, keep exercising your body and mind. Do activities you enjoy, strengthen friendships, hobbies, and family ties. Remember to exercise and eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. Reading, playing cards, gardening, doing word or number puzzles, playing music, or going to concerts and shows help keep your mind alert. 8 Taking time to relax and talk about problems can help promote good mental health.

"Hispanic families have three very important values: Family, Respect, and Trust. Women are expected to put the 'familia' first, certainly before themselves. Speaking up, especially outside the home, breaks trust and respect. When I knew I needed mental health help I tried to turn to my family and follow their way (prayer, rosaries, candles, altar to the Saints). But I ended up in the hospital anyway. There I had to choose: either stay sick by not speaking about the truth or get well by talking to outsiders. My choice to get well, alienated me from family. After 14 years, some relatives still will not forgive me. But I've learned to break some chains and fill the void with my husband, children, and people I have met in recovery. It has taken a lot of work, but I have healed from many labels and am now on the happiest journey I have ever experienced. That is why I share my story – to help other women like me know that there is a good life for us, too."

ClassicsOnline Home » SAINT-SAENS, C.: Piano Concerto No. 5 / RAVEL, M.: Piano Concerto in G major / Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (Biret Concerto Edition, Vol. 3) > Review List
"The Turkish pianist Idil Biret was one of the greatest child prodigies of the 20th century. Her recital at the Boston
Conservatory demonstrated that she is no less prodigious today. She played a long and demanding program with the power,
concentration, and pouncing instincts of a crouching tiger. This is the kind of playing that makes reservations irrelevant;
there is no one like her, which is what defines a unique artist."
Boston Globe 2005
"Extraordinary memory, brilliant technique and unusually insightful performances—these are the features of Idil Biret's
music making which allow her to play works inaccessible to other pianists, even eminent ones. The range of her repertoire
is truly astounding. In the 1980s she performed, for example, Beethoven's 32 Sonatas and 9 Symphonies in the Liszt
transcriptions. In 1997, during the centenary of Brahms' death, she performed all his solo piano works in Germany. Her
repertoire includes over one hundred concertos. In her playing Idil Biret reaches the levels of her great masters Kempff and

Tiger Woods made his return to PGA play today at his own Hero World Challenge charity tournament, and the above video suggests maybe he needs a few more months off. Here he is on the par-5 13th at Isleworth, struggling mightily. He's currently +4, in last place. »
It's still stunning how quickly everything fell apart for the world's greatest golfer, last seen being a humorless prick. And it all began five years ago today: a car crash, and cheating allegations that spiraled into one of the biggest sports scandals we're ever likely to see. »
So Tiger Woods is all bent out of shape about a satirical piece Dan Jenkins wrote in Golf Digest. We think Woods is a hollowed-out dummy who long ago ceased to be a human being, but we do agree with part of his criticism of Jenkins. The "fake interview" conceit is just fine, but Jenkins shouldn't have made up quotes… »
Yesterday at The Players' Tribune, "Tiger Woods" "wrote" the dumbest fucking thing in response to a satirical, obviously fake piece that ran in a recent issue of Golf Digest. All Woods's blockheaded complaint did was alert the world to how much of a dense, robotic dolt he is, and now his girlfriend, Olympic skiier… »
The Players' Tribune justified its existence this afternoon when guest contributor Tiger Woods published a screeching rebuttal to a disposable piece of satire in this month's Golf Digest. Why rely on Twitter as the middleman for athletes' unhinged rants when you can get them directly from the source? »
The Tour Championship begins today, and it's the first time since 1992 that neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson qualified. We are, by any reasonable observer, toward the tail-end of a generational torch-passing at the top. The world's No. 1 certainly qualifies as a reasonable observer. »
By the time Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy won the 96th PGA Championship on Sunday, his second major in as many months and fourth overall, the man whose mantle he seems poised to assume had long since left the property.

The only thing I can add is to realize that you are not going to be outrunning any TS you can see on your sailboat. If its in sight, you'll just have time to reef or secure the sails and maybe get your foulies on before its on top of you. It can be tempting to try to make it through that narrow entrance channel to a safe harbor, but its more likely you will get caught in high gusty winds, near zero visiblity and high adreniln from the lightning striking around you at the worst possible time. Its much safer (on the Chesapeake) to weather a summer storm in an area where you have room to manuver in any direction the storm dictates. Its also very hard to tell if the storm is going to hit you, which is likely why there are so many tales of sailors waiting too late and getting spanked. Better to take the precautions while you can and if the storm misses you, great go back to what you were doing.
I just moved from HHS to Shipwright and wouldn't be too thrilled about being caught in a TS while in the "slot" running between HHS and HHN. There is a bit of room in there but not a whole lot. I'd rather wait out the storm somewhere further out and make the run in after it had passed.
One thing not mentioned, that I do at anchor is determine a "panic azimith" which is a safe intial direction to point the boat if you have to get going in a hurry in the dark or low visiblity like a heavy downpour. I write it down and leave it at the helm so I know a compass bearing to steer immediately. I also will keep a fender at the bow in case I need to leave the anchor quickly so I can secure the rode to a floating object to retrieve later. Lastly, there have been some achorages where I felt constrained enough to don foulies and sit through a TS in the cockpit with the engine running in case the shifts broke the anchor free.
Some great ideas! I always keep a 100% watch if there is a t.s. approaching. Having plenty of fenders out is a good idea because boats almost always slip anchors. I've had a number of "catches.
" Ski goggles work well because visibility in driving rain is often close to 0 and impossible without eye protection. I really like your "panic azimuth" idea and will start doing that.

MSI release more X79-based motherboard pr0n
Earlier today, MSI shot us an e-mail with some teaser shots of their various boards. Instead of an update to that post, this motherboard deserves its own spot on the news page just because it looks like a boss.
Enter, MSI's Big Bang XPower II, which features eight DIMMs, ten SATA ports (!), a slew of PCIe ports enough to plug in eleventy million cards, X-Fi MB2 on-board, and what stands out on its military black theme, is a row of 6 bullets that make up a magazine as a heatsink. We have never seen this before, except for oh wait, Gigabyte's G1 Sniper boards, but hey, two can play at this game, right?

MSI tease X79 boards, four different models on show today
My inbox this morning had some glorious news, a tease of the upcoming Sandy Bridge-E boards from MSI. Included, was the super high-end Big Bang XPower II board, all the way down to the smaller micro-ATX X79MA-GD45. If you like pics, there's a bunch below:
First up is the X79A-GD65 8D, which does look quite pretty. It sports various features such as the usual quad-channel DDR3, but includes THX TruStudio PRO sound, CrossFire X and SLI support. It also includes eight SATA ports and eight DIMMs if you're RAM and Storage crazy like most of us.

GIGABYTE X79 boards to have 3D UEFI setup program
GIGABYTE wants to have something that is more functional than the competitions' UEFI setup programs, and this is where GIGABYTE 3D BIOS steps up and into the ring to have a swing at things. When you hit DEL at POST to load up the setup program, it starts up the 3D BIOS home screen. On the home screen, you find a 3D rotatable image of your motherboard.
Cool, right? Well, you can use your mouse to spin the board around and check it out - certain parts of that motherboard image can be clicked to open up settings related to it. Let's say you want to click on the SATA ports on that image, click it and the program will open up SATA controller settings. Clicking on the memory slots brings up the memory tuning settings window. Very, very cool.
The visual elements all look spiffy, including smooth fonts, curves and lavish use of alpha. The fine tuning pages don't look like a re-skinned, mouse-enabled version of the old interface, but now include genuine GUI elements like sliders, tickboxes, radio buttons and tabs. A video demo of this is available below:
GIGABYTE are using an AMI UEFI backend, mixed with its own patented DualBIOS technology that protects against bad flashes.
MSI packs some serious punch into micro ATX sized X79 motherboard
We've seen quite the frey of final revision X79 motherboards being readied up to coincide with the big Sandy Bridge-E launch in just a little over a week from now, but MSI's X79MA-GD45 has just been exposed and should peak interest for many particularly due to one bold attribute - it is built around the Micro ATX form factor.
I bet you're already thinking of how cool it would be to have so much power hiding inside a nice compact mATX chassis for your gaming pleasure. The board doesn't disappoint in the features dept. either and should be quite the solid board with the use of MSI's Military Class III components all round.

Biostar's TPower X79 looking like a strong candidate for extreme overclockers
Any reason to show off some more Sandy Bridge-E / X79 related goodness is a good one, especially now with it being one of the hottest topics thanks to the launch right around the corner. And thanks to Biostar we can give you some more of it with pics and details on their upcoming TPower X79 motherboard for the next-gen LGA-2011 platform from Intel.
The board, while being by Biostar who tend to be renowned for delivering a more no frills, lower priced piece of hardware, looks to be quite strong by design overall, with no real shortcomings over the many other X79 motherboards we've been lucky enough to see pre-launch; unless of course you compare it directly to something like ASUS' Rampage IV Extreme.

GIGABYTE X79 boards to sport Bluetooth 4.0 + WiFi card
Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi are set to be included on Gigabyte's upcoming X79-based motherboards; G1.Assassin 2, X79-UD7 and X79-UD5. The card will be included in the boxes of those models, which will be a mini-PCI Express Wireless N module, two moveable base antennas, Bluetooth 4.0 and a USB port.
The mini Wireless card sports an Atheros chip and will be powered by the PCI-Express bus, with the USB port being an internal connector which will allow you to add any USB device from within the case. A unique feature.
The Bluetooth 4.0 side of things will continue to be compatible with Bluetooth 3.0 +HS as well as low-power 4.0 devices. Both ASUS and ECS have chosen to go down the Bluetooth 3.0 route, so this gives GIGABYTE the one-up on those companies. There are only a low number of devices that support Bluetooth 4.0, such as the iPhone 4S.
Is it too early to put one of those G1.Assassin 2 boards on my Christmas list? GIGABYTE, have I been a good boy?
ASRock unveils four X79 motherboards
ASRock have come out swinging today with some Sandy Bridge-E flavored teasing. ASRock shot off e-mails all across the world announcing they were showing off some X79-based motherboards. No list of specifications or features were included, but we do have some delicious photos to show you.
First up, we have the X79 Extreme9 which sports eight DIMM slots, five PCI Express x16 slots, dual auxiliary 12V power connectors, 12 SATA ports and network connectivity/audio are powered by what looks to be Creative's new Core3D audio chip. The Extreme 9 features a hot-as-hell color scheme and fills out along the rest of ASRock's X79 line.

MSI releases mATX sized Z68 motherboard with PCI-E Gen 3 support
While most attention is now on Sandy Bridge-E with the mid November launch date closing in fast and Bulldozer having left a trail of despair, that doesn't stop Z68/LGA1155 remaining with a super firm hold of the market thanks to its characteristics in providing a brilliantly balanced, high performance platform for all types of users.
That said, it's worth mentioning that MSI has just outed another Z68 offering in m(icro)ATX form - the Z68MA-G43 (G3). The highlight of this particular offering is, as its model name denotes, the inclusion of PCI-Express Gen 3 via a couple PCI-E (3.0) x16 slots.
Apart from that, it gives much of what you'd expect from such a board - four DDR3 DIMM slots, a couple SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, four SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, a couple USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit ethernet, 7.1 channel audio and for video output there's D-Sub, DVI and HDMI on tap. MSI rounds the feature set out with its OC Genie II overclocking facility and of course, that lovely UEFI BIOS we've all quickly grown to love.
Unfortunately we don't yet know the price tag on the Z68MA-G43 (G3).

ASUS Rampage IV Extreme X79 motherboard video preview
Yesterday we attended an ASUS motherboard technology seminar in Taipei where we were introduced to its range of upcoming Intel X79 Express chipset based motherboards. These motherboards will support second generation Intel Core i7 processors for high-end desktop systems using the new and larger LGA 2011 socket.
Intel has super tight restrictions on what can be said about these new products and as we are bound by an Intel NDA, we need to stick to the rules. That is one of the reasons why the video below might seem a little cryptic at times - we both had to be very careful what we said. The man in the video below is Jack Cheng who is with the ASUS motherboard R&D team and was kind enough to tell us some ASUS ROG driven features of the Rampage IV Extreme X79 motherboard.
Some of the big ASUS features with this board include the OC Key for simple on-screen and very much on-the-fly overclocking, subzero sense for finding out temperatures under extreme cooling conditions and VGA hotwire for putting your video card through hell and back. There is also the X-Socket which allows you to bring along your old coolers and they'll work on the new 2011 socket - it will also be good for extreme LN2 overclockers and their pots. Besides just the video above, there is a selection of pictures below in the gallery which we took.

ASUS Sabertooth X79 motherboard video preview
Yesterday we attended an ASUS motherboard technology seminar in Taipei where we were introduced to its range of upcoming Intel X79 Express chipset based motherboards. These motherboards will support second generation Intel Core i7 processors for high-end desktop systems using the new and larger LGA 2011 socket.
Followers of ASUS will know the Sabertooth motherboard from previous generations and some will also be happy to know that it is back again with the X79 Express chipset. Impressive cooling is a big part of the Sabertooth and Jack Cheng who is with the ASUS motherboard R&D team and was kind enough to go on video and tell us about some of the ASUS driven features of this motherboard.
It's not just cooling though, with the included software powered by the impressive Digi+ VRM power control design you get really good monitoring (12 different parts of the board are digitally thermally monitored) and control over the board and all the different aspects of it using the included Thermal Radar software. There are no real big single handed massive features that will take the crown for the Sabertooth, but the message being sent is that it's "tough".

One thing we know is we can always trust Speedo.
Loved the soft feel of the fabric. Nice pattern and color combo greens and grey, black.
I'm a 14 year old swimmer who has practices 8 times a week. Coming from someone whos a bit overweight but has no real big breast area, the suit molds to my form nicely. I've had this suit for a good 3 months using it about 3 times a week and ive seen no real wear and tear on it. Great design and is very comfortable while swimminh.
I bought this in the same size that all the rest of my Nike suits are in. I admit that I am sort of between sizes currently, but I was surprised to find that I needed to exchange it for a larger size, since all my other Nike suits don't have that problem.
I ordered this suit and less than a month later the black suit lining inside had a hole near the waist. As the whole kept growing, the top layer of the suit was too transparent therefore I couldn't wear it again.
great suit
Quality is great! I love speedo and I can rely on it to endure day after day of practice. It was a little bit tight but nothing too bothersome.
Seems true to size. Color is vivid and as pictured.
This suit fits really well and I like the purple and grey on me.

Former LaCucaracha Armadillos who graduated from 1980 through 1990 held a reunion this past Saturday night at the Gomez Mexican Food Restaurant. Many attending said the event was saved by the legal availability of alcohol at the cash bar.
1984 graduate, Steve Brown, arrived at the gathering and immediately felt that old familiar awkwardness when he was unable to spot anyone he knew or recognized while strolling amongst the throng of former Armadillo classmates. Thankfully, Brown found the bar and quickly downed a beer. The alcohol hit Brown's bloodstream and soon one of alcohol's more pleasant side effects, not caring about anything, began to take place.
"I spotted this chick I used to pass in the halls," said Brown, "and just said 'hello.' She clearly had a couple of beers already so the next thing you know, we're talking like actual middle-aged adults who vaguely know each other."
Alcohol, primarily known as a social lubricant, also has other side effects that come in handy for events such as high school reunions, weddings, office parties, concerts, funerals and first dates. Those side effects include: a loosening of morals, an increase in bravery, becoming more talkative, a lessening of anxiety and the power to make people seem more attractive and interesting than they actually are. However, it is a fine line between the good effects of alcohol and the somewhat more negative effects such as loudness, obnoxiousness, general idiocy and death – in a spectacular variety of ways.
For the most part, alcohol's good side was on display Saturday night. "Sure," said Angela Shifflet, class of 1988, "at first I was anchored to a table fearing for my social life. Certain groups started to form and someone I went up to had absolutely no idea who I was – he didn't even pretend to recognize me – so it started to feel exactly like high school. But then, I saw the bar. A couple of gin and tonics later and I was talking to people I didn't recognize or remember. The best part was, they were drinking too so they didn't care about anything either."
Alcohol also made an excellent excuse to get out of a conversation that had run its course, or one that someone didn't want to have in the first place. "I was catching up with Morty," said Thomas Simpson, class of 1981, "and as much as I like Morty, there's a reason we haven't kept in touch all that much. So, you know, we have a couple of laughs, but then it's pretty clear we've got nothing left to say, but almost at the exact same time we're both , like, 'hey, I gotta make a beer run.' So, no harm, no foul."
Miles Cavender, class of 1987, however, was trapped in a conversation with former Armadillo drill team captain, Sheryl Davidson, class of 1986, whom he really, frankly, cannot stand. "I see her coming over," said Cavender, "and I'm dreading it. I know it's going to be all about her kids, just like Facebook. And sure enough, after one patronizing comment on my life, she immediately goes into her kids 'accomplishments.' I hit the bar, pronto."
Former flag corps member, Ronald Hyde, class of 1985, tried to start a conversation with former band member, Nathan Edrington, class of 1983, but apparently being in the flag corps wasn't good enough for Edrington and his band cronies. No problem for alcohol though. Hyde downed a couple of more beers and simply forced his way into the conversation to the eventual enjoyment of all the band members.
"I tell you what," said Elliott Orr, class of 1982, "alcohol can take you from complete awkwardness to a conversation about how the urinal trough is simultaneously disgusting, incredibly gay and a modern marvel of efficiency and then seamlessly segue into a serious discussion about politicians grappling with an increasingly global economy transitioning away from traditional manufacturing into a completely new kind of consumerism."
By the end of the evening, people who would never have hung out in high school were arm in arm, swaying softly in the stifling heat, singing the Armadillo school song in sweet harmony and unison. "It's like that Jamaican dude in the commercial says," said Orr, "Hooray for beer!"

I sometimes feel like bracket and sportsman racers are drag racing's forgotten children. It bothers me that the stands at a national event clear out when the dial-in or index classes come to the line. That's why I'm so excited to be presenting a column to the readers of Drag Racer written from the perspective of someone who's logged thousands of bracket passes down the quarter-mile. Perhaps you own a drag car of your own, but have only done heads-up drag racing; or maybe you're a fan of the sport, but have never been down the track yourself. If my column helps bring some understanding as to why racers like me became involved with and dedicated to bracket-style racing, maybe you'll take your own car to the local track and get involved in bracket racing, too.

In This Era of "Buy and Race" the Faint Light of Creative Engineering Still Flickers in Competition EliminatorMonday, February 21st, 2011
Michigander Steve Ambrose and his guys have certainly left their mark on Competition Eliminator, winning nine NHRA National Events including Indy and capturing three division championships. They're currently marching toward their fourth. (Hope we didn't jinx you, Steve!) The J/AA six-cylinder Ford-powered '23 T roadster, which has chalked up these wins, is powered by cubic ingenuity not cubic dollars.
The Mongoo$e JournalsWednesday, February 16th, 2011
Faithfull readers, this edition I have a special event to share with you. Very recently the famous Peterson Automotive Museum hosted a unique affair paying tribute to my old friend, business partner and teammate, "The Snake," called An Evening with Don Prudhomme. It was held in conjunction with the opening of a major new exhibit commemorating 60 years of NHRA racing. Your old Goo$e was one of the honored guests. Besides all of the cars on display for the NHRA exhibit, there were half a dozen others, including the Greer Black and Prudhomme dragster that owner Bruce Meyer brought.
How the Modern Racing Pushrod was InventedMonday, February 14th, 2011
The most revealing sign of a pushrod's capability is its resistance to undue deflection—its column stiffness. Until 1993, meaningful research into valve train testing had not been possible. It was only when the Spintron emerged, a revolutionary electrically powered valve train test machine, that profound inadequacies in pushrod design were first revealed. (more…)
The Essential Craft of Keeping Pro Stock Mountain Motors RunningWednesday, February 9th, 2011
Pro Stock Mountain Motors have cubic inch displacements of 820 to 825. Their capacities began much smaller, deriving from original equipment big-block engines of the '60s. But gradually the dimensions between their pan rails grew, allowing longer throw cranks to appear with connecting rods measuring 7.750 inches center to center and 5-inch bore centers with 4.770-inch-diameter pistons, all functioning within a deck height of 12 inches. Today's Pro Stock engines operate on compression ratios of around 18:1, run on VP Race Fuel grade Q16, and generate in the region of 1,900 hp. Depending on weather conditions, they run quarter-mile elapsed times in 6.25 seconds at speeds close to 225 mph. (more…)

Gaylen Smith Makes his way in ADRL Pro ExtremeWednesday, February 9th, 2011
It's no secret that respect and respectability don't come easy in the cut-throat world of outlaw doorslammer racing.

It's Been Said Anticipation is Better Than the Reality, not so for Bob BodeTuesday, February 8th, 2011
As I write this, two days following the conclusion of NHRA's Lucas Oil Nationals, somewhere outside of Chicago there's one really happy guy—actually a bunch of really happy people: Bob Bode, his wife (and "bug") Alice, son Bobby and crew. After 10 years of competing, they've just won their first NHRA National Event. Bob Bode notes wistfully, "There's just no way to put into words what this feels like…what this means to my family, crew and me." (more…)
Mickey ThompsonMonday, February 7th, 2011
Over the years, the hot rod industry has spawned numerous innovators, icons, entrepreneurs and heroes, but perhaps none more prolific than the late Mickey Thompson. Murdered, along with his wife Trudi in their Bradbury, California, driveway in the spring of 1988, Mickey was larger than life and his life is the subject of a stunning exhibit, Mickey Thompson: First American to 400 MPH presented by Banks Power at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum at Fairplex Pomona.

Day 2: Crabbing with Fred Dockery
Tom grew up crabbing on Barnegat Bay, so crabbing with Fred Dockery was "familiar territory." Dockery currently crabs about 300 pots at a time (even though he's licensed for more), and is sensitive to conservation to only catch what he knows he can sell.

I tend to change gyms a lot. And not just because of bad locker room reputations. I just assume the next one will always be better. It never really is. But then, none of these gyms have ever featured the likes of Stacey Poole boxing and pouring water over her enormous sweaty melons. Sure, I've seen some attractive women in spinning class and the other classes that have names that sound really healthy and fun. But I've never quite seen anything like that before.
I'm not saying this type of funbag display would be right for every potential gym member. I'm only saying you only need to show me Stacey once, tell me she'll be back again someday to do the same, and I will never ever leave. I'm a very simple consumer. Enjoy.

I have zero problem with a client getting imaging. I do think imaging diagnostics like MRIs are overused, especially in cases of minor to moderate pain. If a client is worried and fretting about the condition of their spine, I encourage them to get an MRI and find out.
But if they ask me if the results of the MRI will change my work with them, the answer is no. The MRI doesn't show the problem. It shows the RESULT of the problem. The problem is the spine has become fundamentally mispositioned. The discs wouldn't displace otherwise. So in case, I have two fundamental objectives:
1. Prescribe the appropriate corrective exercises to bring the body back to postural and functional balance.
2. Listen to the client's instincts and allow their wisdom to drive the process.
If I give a client an exercise that is posturally indicated but causes a mild increase in their symptom, that's their body telling me it's not ready to do that movement or position yet. We listen to that and find another way to get where we want to go.
My bottom line, if a client asks me if they think they should get an MRI, I tell them there are two fundamental circumstances in which I think that's absolutely appropriate:
1. Given the symptom presentation there is a distinct possibility of an issue that requires immediate medical or surgical intervention. When we're talking about mild to moderate back pain, that is beyond rare.
2. If the client is so mentally wrapped around the axle that they just "have to know". If it gives them peace of mind, great.

Learn the basics of buying art at auction from the experts at Sotheby's.

Art of Interiors
When designing a home, knowing how to best display your artwork is an important consideration. Interior designer April Russell, offers her top tips for how best to display artwork in your home.
Think carefully about your surroundings
Each piece of art in your collection has been carefully selected and deserves its own place to shine. To create a home with all the beauty of a galleried space, carefully consider using a frame within the time period of the work, avoid hanging art on an overly patterned wall, and design your room around the artwork, rather than choosing works that simply 'fit.'
Make a plan for your collection
Something I like to do, especially when working with a large collection, is to split the pieces across different rooms, and lean the art against walls before making a decision. This way, I can see how the piece will work with existing colors and patterns before making a final decision—and any unnecessary holes in the wall.
Don't be afraid to be a little different
Sometimes it's fun to try something new with your art. One thing I find adds a delightful pop of color is to take a black and white print, and adorn it with a bright frame. This works especially well with a cluster of family portraits. It's unexpected and a perfect way to add personality to your home.

Many thanks to our guest blogger, April Russell, who has more than 20 years' experience, trained at London's Inchbald School of Design and at Sotheby's, where she developed her talent and confirmed her determination to put the client at the center of each design project.

A Masterpiece Art Market / Sotheby's
Discover how Sotheby's auction house sold $1 billion in Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary Art at their May and June sales, as discerning collectors from more than 35 countries eagerly competed in a quest for quality at the very highest end of the market.
Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Art Spring Preview / Iconic Works by Picasso, Matisse & Monet
Sotheby's spring Evening Sale of Impressionist & Modern Art will be held in New York on 7 May 2014 with the New York exhibition beginning this Friday in Sotheby's York Avenue galleries. Highlights from the sale include iconic works by Picasso, Giacometti, Matisse, Monet and Léger.
"We are thrilled to offer works by three of the greatest masters of 20th century art, each of which exemplifies the artist's output at a critical moment in their career," said David Norman, Co-Chairman of Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Art Department Worldwide. "Matisse, Picasso and Léger in their unique manner so distinctively catapulted the representation of the figure in to the Modern Age. These paintings, resplendent in color and bold in design, which were respectively executed in successive decades from the 1920s to 40s, resonate with today's global audience of collectors and connoisseurs."
Pablo Picasso, Tête de Marie-Thérèse, 1932 (est. $15/20 million)
The auction will offer an impressive selection of 14 works by Pablo Picasso, with examples reaching across his remarkable career – from an early drawing dated to 1900, through a late oil painting from 1969. The group features Tête de Marie-Thérèse from 1932, a radiant example of his paintings depicting his beloved mistress of the early 1930s (est. $15/20 million).
Claude Monet, Le pont japonais, 1918 (est. $12/18 million)
The Evening Sale will offer three impressive canvases by Impressionist master Claude Monet, including Le pont japonais which he painted at Giverny from 1918–24 (est. $12/18 million). Monet's spectacular images of the Japanese bridge spanning the lily pond of his lush garden are among the most recognizable images of 20th century art.
Henri Matisse, La Séance du matin, 1924 (est. $20/30 million)
Henri Matisse's La Séance du matin (est. $20/30 million) depicts the artist's studio assistant Henriette Darricarrère, whose own interest in painting he encouraged by offering her lessons during their working time together. In another version of this same subject, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Matisse depicts a nude model alongside the studious painter. The present composition instead features Henriette alone, completely absorbed in her own work.
Beyond Limits Art Exhibition at Chatsworth House
Each year Sotheby's is honoured to present Beyond Limits at historic Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England. This year's exhibition features a spectacular selection of more than 20 monumental sculptures from around the world.
This year's show includes a particularly strong contingent of home-grown artists including Bill Woodrow, Tony Cragg and Allen Jones, who will be creating a specially commissioned sculpture for this latest edition of Beyond Limits. The exhibits are notable for their exciting range of materials – from the traditional, such as bronze and stone, to fibre-glass, aluminium, steel and acrylic. The extraordinary diversity of these international artists' works represents some of the most original and thrilling monumental sculpture being made today.
Tony Cragg, Declination / Executed in 2005 and cast in bronze in an edition of 1 plus 1 artist's proof by the Kayser & Klippel foundry in Dusseldorf.
Alice Aycock, Cyclone Twist / Conceived in 2013 and executed in aluminium in an edition of 1 plus 1 artist's proof.
Marc Quinn, Spiral of the Galaxy / Executed in 2013 and cast in bronze in an edition of 3.
Watch highlights of the exhibition.
Inside the Mind of a Fine Art Collector
From the pages of RESIDE® / Luxury Homes and Lifestyles Around the World / Spring 2013 Master Edition
Collecting is often viewed as a curious compulsion, with someone driven to acquire every example in a particular field. A short tour of the Internet reveals some astonishing examples, ranging from posters depicting fish to Soviet era calculators and chocolate wrappers including examples from Oman and Uzbekistan.
The more rarefied world of art collecting, however, operates in a slightly different fashion. Certainly a cursory examination would seem to indicate a similar level of obsession, with collectors gathering thousands of examples of their chosen field be it Old Master drawings, Meissen ceramics or duck decoys.
However, it does not reveal the full story. It perhaps remains impossible to define what drives someone to collect, be it fine art or film memorabilia, but art collectors tend to operate with a higher degree of discernment, not simply acquiring every example of an object, but curating their collection to ensure it is both comprehensive and of high quality.

Amedeo Modigliani's L'Amazone is readied for exhibition at Sotheby's in London. As part of The Collection of Alex & Elisabeth Lewyt, Modigliani's sensational L'Amazone is an early masterpiece by the artist and one of his most arresting images of women. Painted in 1909, it depicts Baroness Marguerite de Hasse de Villers, a glamorous socialite and lover of the younger brother of Modigliani's patron, Paul Alexandre. Marguerite poses in her riding-habit, gloved-hand on her hip and her arch gaze holding the viewer captivated.
L'Amazone's draughtsmanship and exquisite brushwork announced the arrival of a singular talent that Modigliani would explore during the following decade. L'Amazone will lead Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale in New York on 7 May 2013 and is estimated to fetch $20/30 million. Proceeds from the sale of The Collection of Alex & Elisabeth Lewyt will benefit a charitable foundation to be established in their name and for which will support the causes that they both were passionate about, especially those concerned with animal welfare.

The Blue Unconscious by Jackson Pollock on view at Sotheby's Los Angeles gallery. The monumental canvas (84 x 56 in., 213.4 x 142.1 cm.) was painted in the critical year of 1946, just prior to the establishment of the artist's celebrated drip paintings. Pollock executed the present work in the famed Long Island barn studio he established after moving to East Hampton with his wife, Lee Krasner, the prior year to escape the pressures of the New York City art world. The canvas has remained in the same private collection for nearly 50 years having last appeared on the market in a 1965 auction at Parke-Bernet. The appearance of the work on the market comes just months after Sotheby's set a new Pollock auction record with Number 4, 1951 which sold for $40,402,500 (est. $25/35million) in November 2012. The Blue Unconscious is estimated to bring $20/30 million and will be auction for sale at the Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale in New York on 7 May 2013 after it travels for exhibition in LA and London.
Fernand Léger's Trois femmes à la table rouge on exhibition at Sotheby's in London during a press preview event. The painting, which is from the collection of legendary entertainer Madonna and is estimated at $5/7 million, will be auction at Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale in New York on 7 May 2013.
Proceeds from the sale will benefit the Ray of Light Foundation to support girls' education projects in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries. In Afghanistan, just 12% of women are literate and it is estimated that only seven girls to every ten boys are able to attend school. In Pakistan, which has one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world, it is estimated that there are more than 3 million primary school-aged girls unable to attend school.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Le Sun Chine
No.06 Lane 1220 Hua Shan Road, Changning, Shanghai, China
Neighborhood: Changning
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Shanghai's got top-shelf business hotels, big-deal design boutiques and colonial-chic luxury hotels, but rare in this city is the sort of complete package you'll find in Le Sun Chine. This one chooses a little bit from each column; a 1930s-era Edwardian-style mansion on a quiet walled estate, it's got colonial character to spare, but its interiors are a contemporary interpretation of classic Shanghai rather than a museum-grade restoration.
And though it's small, its 16 suites are anything but — not only are they quite surprisingly spacious, but in physical terms they're the equal of any of the city's five-star business hotels. They come in distinct color schemes, either blue, red, gold or cream, and the design, by the Singapore-based Julian Coombs, recalls the composed elegance of some of London's posher boutique hotels.
What sets Le Sun Chine apart from some kind of extended-stay residential hotel is the full complement of luxury-boutique services. A fine restaurant serves modern Shanghainese cuisine and the lounge specializes in Champagne. There's a spa featuring both Chinese and Western treatments as well as a pool, a fitness center, and what might just be the world's only boutique-hotel ballet studio (we'd be happy to be corrected on this, incidentally).
Travel advisory: Passport and visa requirements differ from country to country. Please check with your local authority before booking.

ESPN reports on the Packers' latest moves, which could help start to solidify the defensive interior.
The offseason program starts Apr. 22, OTAs take place May 28-30, June 3-5 and June 10-13 and minicamp occurs June 17-19.
When asked about the second-year outside linebacker, Packers coach Mike McCarthy recently stressed his special teams contributions before getting discussing the defensive side of the football.
The biggest question mark for the Packers along the offensive line entering free agency is that status of center Evan Dietrich-Smith.
Media and fans alike are quick to blame the Packers general manager for the teams failure to defend its title while ignoring the bigger picture.
