Select Local Merchants
Spa TerraRead MoreSeveral Napa Valley residents may have visited Spa Terra without ever realizing that they were there—or rather, that they were standing on top of it. The 22,000-square-foot hideaway is entirely subterranean and has tucked its 12 treatment rooms into the Estate Wine Cave behind the Meritage Resort. This naturally sequestered locale echoes with the whispers of waterfalls, enticing guests to trace the brick arches and spiraling mosaics of its Florentine design. Chandeliers and candles cast a glow onto stone, tile, iron, and wood accents, all of which were built by craftsmen to fit the underground space without angering its slumbering dragon landlord. The light takes a smoky, ethereal shift inside the steam grottos of the ladies' and gentlemen's lounges, and private soaking pools radiate blue-green tones from beneath the water. In keeping with the earthy environs, the staff draws from local and organic ingredients during its treatments. Olives, herbs, and honey brighten skin through a variety of body scrubs and facials, which also rely on products from Comfort Zone and Éminence Organic Skin Care. Unsurprisingly, wine has a role in many of the services—the signature Solo Vino package begins with a cabernet-grape-seed scrub, then segues into a wine-cave-mud body wrap. It concludes with a therapeutic Terra massage and a selection of cheeses, served with wine or champagne. Guests can browse a far-reaching menu of massage modalities, including targeted styles for headaches and sore feet, or schedule a romantic couples session complete with chocolates to share.875 Bordeaux WayNapa, CA US

Sumbody & Sumtime SpaRead MoreLike fingerprints, snowflakes, and boy bands, no two skins are exactly alike. That's why Sumbody & Sumtime Spa's staff custom-blends products using natural ingredients that hail from the very planet we roam upon. Founded by Deborah Burnes, who authored Look Great, Live Green, the spa's signature line of products soothes the hair, body, and nose with natural and locally sourced ingredients. And when Burnes says "natural" she means it. "People tell us every day that they've tried everything on Earth," says Burnes, who quickly turns the question around: "Have you tried the earth itself?" Using elements such as clay, charcoal, sea salt, and honey, she concocts all-natural formulas that she says bring out the best in her clients' skin.3800 Bel Aire PlazaNapa, CA US

Auberge Du SoleilRead MoreAt the heart of the cabernet sauvignon merlot and chardonnay vines of Napa Valley the French restaurateur Claude Rouas has created a discreet and elegant hotel hidden amongst a grove of olive trees that evoke his love of Provence in the South of France. A handful of houses perched on the hillside offer spacious maisons with private terraces where aged French oak floors colorful chenille fabrics abstract paintings and fireplaces create an air of romance.

ChristianSubjectively, man tries always to 'classify' knowledge and understanding. E.g. we see this in sciences as Zoology or Botany, where some specimens are difficult to classify, because of God's tremendous complexity. However classification is always helpful for limited beings as us. So is Scripture: there will be texts that on examination, one would be hesitant to which particular group it belongs, as it might well belong to more than two or three, ... Yet this is due to the superabundant wisdom of God. If we could encase all his treasures of knowledge, he might not be God at all. e.g. Does this verse deal with the moral, or ceremonial realm?
"See that ye refuse not him that speak. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven"Both___

Lawnmower torches Arbor Vitae on Portland Drive
The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures. Westside Fire chief Jim Trammell, in blue shirt, directs firefighters. The video was taken by Capt. Dave Smith of Hood River Fire Department. Enlarge

Locating iTunes Plus tracks
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I would like to be able to see which songs in my iTunes library are from iTunes Plus, ie DRM free. I do not see an option to view that in "View, Options". Is it possible to do this?
- Tomo
A: Although there are no default options in iTunes for this, it is possible to setup a smart playlist to track this information.
The key point here is that traditional iTunes tracks will be listed with a "Kind" field of "Protected AAC File" whereas iTunes Plus tracks instead display their "Kind" as "Purchased AAC File."
Therefore, a Smart Playlist such as the following, which selects tracks based on the information in the "Kind" field should group all of your iTunes Plus tracks into a single playlist:
Note that this will not include iTunes Plus Music Videos however, as these do not contain the word "Purchased" but rather simply omit the word "Protected"—so a standard iTunes Music Video would be listed as a "Protected MPEG-4 video file" whereas an iTunes Plus music video is listed simply as an "MPEG-4 Video File."
However, since all iTunes Plus music videos also have a 256kbps audio track, this may help in creating a secondary Smart Playlist that can be used to group these. A Smart Playlist similar to the following would work, assuming that you have not encoded any of your own music videos at a 256kbps audio bit-rate:
This will essentially list all "MPEG-4 video files" with a 256kbps audio bit-rate and a "Video Kind" of "Music Video" (thereby excluding any movies or TV shows that may be in your library). Unless you have encoded any of your own music videos at a 256kbps bit-rate, this should show only iTunes Plus music videos.

Women are suffering from a low fertility-IQ.
A new survey from the National Infertility Association, found that less than half of women could correctly answer 7 out of 10 basic questions about their own fertility. Many of them didnt understand how long it takes to get pregnant or how dramatically fertility drops off after a woman hits 30!
Dr. William Schoolcraft is the medical director for the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine. And he says most women dont even think about infertility issues until theyre trying to conceive a child. And in many cases, that could be in a womans thirties or forties. By that time, the likelihood that she can naturally conceive is far lower than most women know.
A healthy woman in her 30s has about a one in five chance of getting pregnant
and once forty rolls around its more like one in twenty.
So why are women in the dark when it comes to understanding their own fertility?
Well, the problem is many of them dont look or feel as old as they actually are. But whether they look 40 or not, their reproductive system keeps aging.
High-profile celebrity moms also reinforce the idea its never too late to start a family. J.Lo and Mariah recently had twins and theyre both in their forties. They make it look easy, but the reality is they have access to the best fertility treatments money can buy. For women in the real world having a baby past 40 can be expensive, hard on their health and even plain old impossible.
So if youre thinking about having a baby, and youre 30 or beyond, get the facts at Resolve.org, the website for the National Infertility Association.

Elizabeth Warren Speaking At Democratic National Convention Before Bill Clinton AddressQuicklink submitted By Amanda Lang Permalink
Become a Fan
(9 fans)
|Massachusetts senate candidate Elizabeth Warren will speak at the Democratic National Convention just before former President Bill Clinton, but will not deliver the keynote address, the Boston Globe reports.
Prior to the announcement, there had been speculation that Warren, who has wowed Democrats with her populist economic message, would give the keynote address.
The Harvard Law professor has raised more than any non-presidential candidate this election cycle, netting $8.67 million in the most recent quarter. She remains in a tight race against incumbent Republican Sen. Scott Brown.
"I'm honored to speak at the Democratic Convention - to stand with @BarackObama & talk about our shared vision to move the country forward," Warren wrote on Twitter shortly after the announcement was made. Warren has warmed up the crowd for a bigger speaker before -- she introduced President Obama...

(Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky taken by Lingjing Bao)
Candidates spend one final day on the campaign trail as election day approaches while, death with dignity advocate Brittany Maynard ends her life, and a new report indicates a former Navy Seal is under fire for his book about the Osama bin Laden raid.
In sports, Tom Brady once again comes out on top over Peyton Manning, plus Jimmie Johnson wins at Texas, but fists fly after a controversial finish.
It's now less than 24 hours before the midterm elections get underway. Democratic and Republican candidates across the country are on the campaign trail for one final day, trying to gain support from voters. An increasing number of polls indicate that the GOP will have a big win tomorrow. Republicans tell voters that giving them a majority in the U.S. Senate will mean an end to gridlock in Washington.
On FOX News Sunday, Mitt Romney says, quote, "This is really the last chance for America to pass judgment on the Obama administration and on its policies." The 2012 GOP presidential nominee adds, quote, "The Republican Party is saying, look, we're going to take a different direction. We're going to break the blockade in Washington by having a Republican Senate."
In the GOP's weekly address on Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky stated that Democrats had abandoned governing to protect their majority in the Senate. McConnell will likely become the next majority leader if he and other Senate Republican candidates win their races. The GOP needs a gain of six seats to take control of the Senate.

Lone Ranger ambushed at box office by Despicable Me 2
Movie's poor box office means black eye for Disney, Johnny Depp, Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski
|Report an Error
Share via Email
LOS ANGELES—The minions have overtaken The Lone Ranger.
Studio estimates Friday show Despicable Me 2 is trampling the Johnny Depp Western at the holiday box office. The animated Universal sequel has collected three times more than the Disney cowboy caper since both films debuted Wednesday.
Despicable Me 2 earned $59.5 million (all figures U.S.) so far, while The Lone Ranger took in $19.5 million in ticket sales.
Moviegoers opted for the minions over the masked man by more than 2 to 1 on Independence Day. The family film dominated with $24.5 million Thursday, compared with Ranger's $9.86 million.
Poor reviews for The Lone Ranger may have translated to sluggish ticket sales. Chicago Sun-Times critic Richard Roeper called the $250 million Western "slick trash."
The film cost an estimated $225 million to produce.
The film's poor opening is a black eye for producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and star Depp, the trio behind Disney's ultra-successful Pirates of the Caribbean series.
Disney made their prior success a key part of marketing the current film and Depp's international appeal still could help the film's overseas box office.
The Lone Ranger is an action remake of a 1930s radio show and television series in the 1950s. Armie Hammer plays John Reid, the lawman who dons a mask to fight injustice in the Old West. This time, though, it is the Lone Ranger's native American sidekick Tonto, played by Depp, who takes centre stage.
Critics have not embraced the movie. Among 110 reviews compiled on the Rotten Tomatoes website on Wednesday, just 24 per cent recommended the film.
The Lone Ranger is the latest entry in Disney's strategy of spending more on fewer films to build franchises from big budget movies that can generate continued revenues from sequels, merchandise and outlets like its theme parks and TV properties.
The company found such success with Marvel superhero films The Avengers and Iron Man 3, and with Pixar's Monsters University, but wrote down $200 million when sci-fi epic John Carter flopped last year.
The studios will update the box office results over the weekend.

The Tennessee Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will host Three Blind Wines on Thursday, at 6 p.m. at The Mill at 1601 Gulf St. #100.
The annual wine event is expected to bring more than 300 charity minded attendees, and to raise an estimated $25,000 to support the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, to assure the development of the means to cure cystic fibrosis.
From wine novices to fine wine aficionados, Three Blind Wines gives all guests the opportunity to taste different brands of wine while benefiting a great cause. Guests will have the opportunity to compete and vote in the "blind wine" contest. The team with the most popular wine will take home a cellar full of wine.
Featured at the wine event is a silent auction and reception at 6 p.m., followed by dinner, a live auction and entertainment. Live auction items include a trip to Telluride and San Francisco. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in Bid for a Cure as well.
When the Foundation was established in 1955, children with CF were not expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Due in large part to the Foundation's aggressive investments in innovative research and comprehensive care, the predicted median survival age for people with this disease is now more than 37 years.
In 1989, CF Foundation-supported scientists discovered the defective gene that causes cystic fibrosis-a monumental breakthrough on the road to a cure.
The Foundation has played an integral role in the development and FDA approval of four therapies that are now a routine part of treatment regimens for many with CF. The Foundation is actively supporting more than 30 potential new treatments currently in development- that's more than in the entire history of the disease.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.
Individual tickets to Three Blind Wines are $30 and can be purchased by calling 615 255-1167. Sponsorships are also available.

By Wayne K. Wilkins | March 17, 2008
However, should Shawn Michaels be the one to end the career of the most legendary wrestler of all time? Shawn Michaels himself has stated in recent years that his knees and his back are bad and that he is feeling the effects of wear and tear from the sport, so it could be very likely that Shawn himself may be nearing his own retirement. Whether this match is highly anticipated or not, I do not believe that Shawn alone should be the one to end the career of Ric Flair, especially if he may not be in the sport long enough to benefit from it.
The way I see it is that there could have been many opportunities to put over younger stars in this match-up, stars with a future in the business, the likes of current WWE talent Montel Vontavious Porter and Mr. Kennedy, both of whom have played a role in the current Ric Flair retirement storyline but came short in the process of the attempts to put Ric Flair away for good. Is the WWE really doing all they can to make the storyline an epic? Are they doing all they can to make the final year of Ric Flair's career as memorable as his decades and decades in the sport already? Or are they simply making any attempt and any storyline to get him out as soon as possible? Are they truly respecting the greatest legacy of all time the way they should?
The answer of course is a no. If they were going to do so, then where are the faces that have played a part in the career of Ric Flair? Where are Sting, Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, JJ Dillon, Diamond Dallas Page, Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan? Where the generations of stars that have attempted to put Flair out in the past and failed? The answer, WWE just can not be bothered, or the writers have no idea how to plan it all out.
The way this storyline should have been played out is people from Flair's past show up and help save his career, then others from Flair's past show up and attempt to end it. This would be portrayed on the weekly shows, likely having The Four Horsemen in his own corner attempting to save him, and having faces from his past in the other corner trying to end it. This would end up as a faction towards the major pay per views, those recently of course being Royal Rumble, No Way Out and Wrestlemania next.
For the first two pay per views, the stars from the past who attempted to end Flair's career would be in the corner of the up and comers, Montel Vontavious Porter and Mr. Kennedy at the two previous pay per views that they also failed to put Flair out, with obvious cheats and interferences with many near falls. Mr. McMahon who in storyline has played a part of wanting to put Flair out would then announce an obvious method to destroy Flair once and for all, and that would be by putting Flair in a Three Falls match-up in which Flair has to face 3 opponents and if he loses any of those matches, he is gone, forever, forced into retirement.
This would open a door to have a "Past, Present and Future" 3 falls match-up. A star from Flair's past in match one, a star from Flair's present in match 2 and a Star of the future in match three. The likes of Terry Funk, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan or Dean Malenko fit perfectly into the Past section, the present would be someone such as Batista, Shawn Michaels or Triple H, and the future would be someone like Mr. Kennedy, Montel Vontavious Porter, or an up and comer who has yet to debut, someone like recently released TNA talent "Wildcat" Chris Harris or Ron "The Truth" Killings.

Why I am a St. Louis Blues Fan
With two very important home games coming up I think it is important that we all take a second to remind ourselves why exactly we cheer for the Blues. I often get asked why I decided to start writing about our beloved Blues. I am by no means a professional writer nor do I have any aspirations to be one. With a full-time job and two young kids the only time I really get to sit...

Blues escape Dallas with a big win despite again packing it in with a lead
The dangerous game continued in Game 2. The Blues jumped out to a 3-1 lead and then immediately shifted into a defensive shell. That mistake, one which the team has made repeatedly, nearly cost the Blues in a game they really needed to win. Thanks to a bad penalty by the Stars, the Blues escaped Dallas with a win after a David Backes OT goal. It wasn't a must-win game mathematically...

Humanitarian Intervention:
Effectiveness of U.N. Operations in Bosnia

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed: (1) allegations that the United Nations (U.N.) withheld humanitarian assistance to pressure the Bosnian Muslims into an unfavorable peace settlement and that U.S. officials had knowledge of this tactic; (2) the effectiveness of U.N. operations in Bosnia; and (3) factors affecting U.N. performance, with a view towards lessons learned.
GAO found that: (1) there is no evidence that U.N. withheld humanitarian assistance to pressure the Bosnian Muslims into settlement, or that U.S. officials had any evidence that U.N. manipulated humanitarian assistance; (2) U.N. operations and international efforts, including the allied airlift and airdrop operations, are credited with preventing starvation in Bosnia for two winters; (3) inadequate numbers of troops and weaknesses in overall U.N. leadership and coordination have hindered consistent assertive action to deliver aid and protect Bosnians; and (4) U.N. has improved coordination and is taking steps with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to deliver humanitarian assistance and provide protection in designated areas.

Embarrassed Epsom won't pick Banks again
Relevant offers
Prime Minister John Key is sticking by his coalition partner, Act leader John Banks, but support is waning among those who voted him in.
Banks says the saga over his electoral return and donations ended when police decided not to charge him, but voters in his Epsom electorate say his actions are unacceptable.
The Sunday Star-Times visited Epsom and questioned 30 people who said they voted Banks at the last election. All said they were now embarrassed to have him as their MP because of his actions over his donation declarations during his bid for Auckland's mayoralty, and because of his behaviour once they became public.
Not one offered any support for his position, but all of those spoken to said they were stalwart National supporters who voted Banks to toe the party line and keep Act in Parliament as a coalition partner.
And no matter how unpalatable, those electoral necessities had not changed, Remuera resident Carol Harding, 68, said.
"I feel quite deceived by him after what happened with the donations. But I don't want Key to lose his slim majority. That's a different ball game."
But she said National should consider that there was no way she could vote Banks in 2014.
Fellow Remuera resident Neil Malaghan, 70, also voted Banks.
"I don't know if he should resign, but it's unacceptable, although at the time this all occurred he acted within the law. The police aren't laying a complaint and I have more faith in them than in the judiciary."
But he had the same message for Act and National. There will be no Banks vote in 2014.
Police closed their investigation in July, saying Banks filed a false election return because a $15,000 donation from SkyCity and two $25,000 cheques from German millionaire Kim Dotcom were all registered as anonymous.
But no charges were laid because under one part of electoral law a limitation on the time in which charges could be brought had run out, and under another part of the law, there was insufficient evidence to prove Banks had filed the false return deliberately.
Banks claims he signed the form without reading it and did not knowingly breach the law.
Banks has said in the past: "There has been an expensive police investigation, no charges, all over, all finished and we move on."
But when the police file into its investigation was released, it returned the issue to the spotlight.
The file showed law firm Simpson Grierson partner Gregory Powers spoke to Banks in February, a few weeks after Dotcom was arrested on US anti-piracy charges, and Banks told him he could not offer help to Dotcom because "that may backfire on Kim if it became known about the election support".
Labour deputy leader Grant Robertson told Parliament last week that was "a clear admission he did know about the donation from Dotcom, and could remember it as recently as this year".

The perfect prop for a Hollywood baddie? Directors turn to e-cigarettes to show characters 'too slick to be trusted'
- Oscar nominee Michael Shannon says e-cigarettes are ideal props for villains
- He claims devices were crucial to his scheming character in 99 Homes
- The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp, was one of the first films to use devices
- Films restricted from showing cigarettes in 1998 due to product placement
- Cigarettes denoted glamour and sex appeal in Hollywood's golden age
Cigarettes enhanced sex appeal, signified rebellion and oozed glamour when used by film stars in the golden age of Hollywood.
But tobacco companies hoping that e-cigarettes will receive similar treatment are in for an unpleasant surprise.
Oscar nominee Michael Shannon has argued that the vaporising devices are ideal props for amoral villains who look 'too slick to be trusted'.
Scroll down for video
Actor Michael Shannon (left) says that e-cigarettes are ideal props for amoral villains. The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp, was one of the first films to show the devices (pictured)
Shannon, who stars as a corrupt estate agent in 99 Homes, said that his e-cigarette was a crucial part of his character, in an interview with The Times.
The prop was suggested by Ramin Bahrani, the film's director, who believes that e-cigarettes may come to denote characters who are too slick and charming to be trustworthy.
'Ramin gave me one e-cigarette and I started tooting on it like…I can't think of a good metaphor,' said Shannon, who starred in Revolutionary Road.
'I couldn't stop fiddling with it. It was always in my hand.'
'It's like one of those old cartoons with the steam blowing out of the smokestack, and that's what Caver is like – this smokestack that's about to blow all the time.'
He said that it came in most useful when his character was trying to evict a desperate man, who responds by threatening to shoot his family and himself.
Cigarettes denoted glamour and rebellion for film icons such as Audrey Hepburn and James Dean
Electronic cigarettes are s a battery-powered vaporisers which simulates tobacco smoking
'I think the whole film inevitably led to the place where he's standing in front of Frank Greene's house and not knowing what to do with himself. That's where the e-cigarette comes in handy.'
Asked if it would catch on as a prop for villains, Shannon said: 'Who knows? Probably. Other directors are going to copy it.'
The Tourist, starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, was one of the first films to feature electronic cigarettes.
Depp is seen using the device on a train, when questioned why he is smoking in public place, which is obviously banned, he explains how electronic cigarettes are exempt from the public smoking ban.
Traditional cigarettes denoted glamour and empowerment for female stars like Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis.
And Audrey Hepburn's cigarette holder in breakfast in Tiffany's became a character-defining prop.
Smoking enhanced Marlon Brando's sex appeal in A Streetcar Named Desire and signified rebellion for James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause.
Smoking has declined sharply since a legal agreement in 1998 under which tobacco companies are restricted in using films for product placement.
Smoking enhanced the sex appeal of film icons including Sophia Loren and Humphrey Bogart

What is an 'Interest-Only Mortgage'
A type of mortgage in which the mortgagor is only required to pay off the interest that arises from the principal that is borrowed. Because only the interest is being paid off, the interest payments remain fairly constant throughout the term of the mortgage. However, interest-only mortgages do not last indefinitely, meaning that the mortgagor will need to pay off the principal of the loan eventually.
BREAKING DOWN 'Interest-Only Mortgage'
Interest-only mortgages can be useful for first-time home buyers because it allows young people to defer large payments until their incomes grow.
At the end of the interest-only mortgage term, the borrower has a couple of options. He or she can either renew the interest-only mortgage or repay it through standard means, such as entering into a normal mortgage and liquidating investments.

The University of Notre Dame is raising undergraduate tuition by 3.8 percent to more than $46,000 next school year. The school says the percentage increase is the same as in recent years. With average room and board rates of more than $13,000, total student charges for 2014-15 will be about $59,500. Notre Dame's president, the Rev. John Jenkins, thanked parents in a letter for their investment in the university. Jenkins also wrote that while surveys show college graduates earn more than those with high school degrees, the education is more important than simply for earnings potential.

Mancini wants summer of spending
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini hopes to be allowed to spend big this summer in pursuit of further success.
Chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak has said there is now no need to spend the lavish sums of previous summers, because the squad is already strong, but Mancini still wants more top names as he hopes to add the Champions League to this season's Barclays Premier League title victory.
He told BBC Sport: "Barcelona and Real Madrid every year buy two or three players and spend a lot of money. I think for Manchester City it will be the same. We need to improve. We need to have the strength to play Champions League and Premier League."
