BOSTON -- Puma has launched InCycle, the brand's first closed-loop collection of footwear, apparel and accessories, all of which have earned the "Cradle to Cradle Certified[CM] Basic" certification. Puma's InCycle products are entirely biodegradable or recyclable. This product introduction is another important step in PUMA's mission to become the most sustainable and desirable Sportlifestyle company.
"Puma's Cradle to Cradle Certified[CM] Basic InCycle products represent a tremendous step forward in reducing our environmental footprint and giving consumers a more sustainable product choice. The InCycle Basket and Basket Tee Biodegradable have been analyzed as part of PUMA's first Product Environmental Profit and Loss Account published in October 2012 and the results speak for themselves, showing that these two products impacted the environment by a third less than their conventional counterparts" said Reiner Hengstmann, global director of Puma Safe.
Puma collaborated with EPEA, to develop the collection, whose mission it is to help companies fulfill the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute's criteria for the design of ecologically and intelligently designed products. All products in the InCycle collection have been certified by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, whose mission is to provide a continuous improvement quality program to guide product manufacturers and designers in making safe and healthy products for our world. Cradle to Cradle has created a rigorous certification program that rates products against five sustainability factors: 1) the use of environmentally safe and healthy materials; 2) design for material reutilization including recycling and composting; 3) renewable energy and management of carbon; 4) water stewardship; and 5) social fairness.
"We are delighted to have Puma, such a powerful global brand, showing consumers and industry peers exactly what is possible through the adoption of the Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Program," said Bridgett Luther, president of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. "Puma's InCycle Collection raises the bar on what consumers can expect and what the apparel and textiles industries can deliver: products that are not only a delight to use and wear and but are also designed from the start to have a positive environmental footprint as they biodegrade safely to soil and are returned to industry as a valuable resource."
The Puma InCycle collection can be broken down using one of two processes: the technical cycle or the biological cycle. Materials within the biological cycle can be broken down by microorganisms into biological nutrients and will go back into the earth, thus making them biodegradable. Materials found within the technical cycle - such as metals, textiles, and plastics - can then be used to create new products.

Todays Indy Star talks about Al Harrington being reacquired by the Pacers in a sign and trade. It also list Mike James as possible.
Its well known the Raptors have a lot of interest in Peja Stojakovic .
The Hawks need a point guard,the Raptors have a free agent one available in Mike James.
Perhaps Peja goes to the Raptors , James and a 2nd rounder from the Raptors to the Hawks and Harrington to the Pacers.Or Jamaal Tinsley and Sarunas Jasikevicius end up in Atlanta and James in Indy.
Not saying its likely but not beyond the real of possibility. Pacers could end up with both Harrington and James at the cost of Peja , Tinsley and Sarunas. Okay its the off season too much time on my hands.
Just a thought. But that way all 3 teams get needed parts.

Somali militants wielding automatic weapons have attacked a small Kenyan coastal town, killing at least 48 people as they sprayed bullets into the street, assaulted the police station and set two hotels on fire, officials say.
Kenya's top police commander, David Kimaiyo, also said that the gunmen attacked a bank. The assault came late Sunday night as town residents were watching World Cup matches on TV. Authorities blamed al-Shabab, Somalia's al-Qaeda-linked terror group.
Another police commander said that as residents were watching the World Cup at the Breeze View Hotel, the gunmen pulled the men aside and ordered the women to watch as they killed them. The attackers told the women that that's what Kenyan troops are doing to Somalia men inside Somalia.
The attack by dozens of gunmen occurred in the town of Mpeketoni about 20km southwest of the tourist centre of Lamu. Any tourism in Mpeketoni is mostly local, with few foreigners visiting the region. The town is about 100km from the Somali border.
Kenya has experienced a wave of gunfire and explosive attacks in recent months. The US, UK, France, Australia, and Canada have all recently upgraded their terror threat warnings for the country. US Marines behind sandbag bunkers are now stationed on the roof of the US Embassy in Nairobi.
The Red Cross, which said it had personnel on the ground, put the death toll at 34. Kimaiyo had earlier said it was 27 but that it could rise.
The Interior Ministry said that at about 8pm on Sunday two minivans entered the town. Militants disembarked and began shooting. Kenya's National Disaster Operations Centre said military surveillance planes were launched shortly afterward.
The nearby town of Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the country's oldest continually inhabited town. The region saw a spate of kidnappings of foreign tourists in 2011 that Kenya said was part of its motivation for attacking Somalia. Since those attacks and subsequent terror warnings tourism has dropped off sharply around Lamu.
Al-Shabab has vowed to carry out terror attacks to avenge the Kenyan military presence in Somali. At least 67 people were killed in September when four al-Shabab gunmen attacked an upscale mall in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Kenya sent troops to Somalia in October 2011.

Super hyper spider typer
Keyboard skills can only be learnt through practice and repetition. This kids' game is not only fun but teaches them skills they can only learn through doing them. Watch as they advance from one finger typing to not even looking at the keyboard so they can keep an eye on their spider.
What you need:
- computer with internet access
Bring up the game page and let the kids have control of the mouse.
On the left of screen, a spider on a web appears in front of a start and finish line
Lizards appear on branches to the right of the screen, each with letters on their backs.
Type the letters and the lizards disappear.
As you advance through the levels, the lizards will change colour and letters. For example, a pink lizard will have a letter on its back and once you hit the correct letter, the lizard will change to blue with another letter on it. Get that letter correct and the lizard will disappear.
Once your spider gets to the finish line, you advance levels.
If the lizard gets to your spider before you get the letter, your spider will be eaten up!
You can find this game on the Kaboose website.

Fairfax County to Open Four Temporary Shelters
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Sept. 18, 2003
Fairfax County to Open Four Temporary Shelters
Fairfax County is projected to start feeling the effects of Hurricane Isabel late this afternoon. In response, county officials are opening temporary shelters for those impacted residents in need of a place to stay. The shelters will open at 2 p.m. this afternoon and remain open as long as needed.
The shelters are located in the following Fairfax County public
• Chantilly High School, 4201 Stringfellow Road, Chantilly
• Edison High School, 5801 Franconia Road, Alexandria
• Marshall High School, 7731 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church
• Whitman Middle School, 2500 Parkers Lane, Alexandria
County and Red Cross officials urge residents to stay home and shelter in place, if at all possible. The temporary emergency shelters are intended for residents who feel they will not be able to weather the storm safely in their homes. County and Red Cross staff will be on hand at each shelter. Persons coming to the shelters should expect to stay at least until the storm has passed Friday morning and conditions are safe for travel. Each shelter will have cots and blankets. Food will also be available.
Two shelters, Chantilly High and Edison, will accept pets along with their owners. Both schools offer animal science programs and have the facilities to handle pets. No animals will be allowed at Marshall or Whitman, except service animals such as seeing eye dogs. Therefore, residents should make alternative arrangements for their pets prior to going to those shelters.
If you decide to come to a shelter, please bring the following:
• Pillow
• Medications (bring a cooler if any medications require refrigeration)
• Flashlight
• Toiletries
• Change of clothes
• Special items such as diapers and formula for babies
No alcohol, smoking, firearms or illegal drugs are permitted in the shelters.
Residents needing more information about the shelters can call the
county's Emergency Information Line at 703-817-7771, TTY 711.

MATALAN stores across the Black Country have raised thousands of pounds for the NSPCC over the last 12 months.
Staff and customers at stores, including those at Merry Hill and Oldbury, have raised £7,350.41 for the children's charity since last April, by taking part in a variety of fundraising events.
Mike Jeans, Matalan HR and retail director, said: "We are very proud of all our fundraising efforts for the NSPCC over the past ten years.
"We have seen a real team effort made by all staff and customers and we are delighted to be raising vital funds which will help support the children's charity and the invaluable work they do across the country."
Kathryn Taylor, the charity's corporate fundraising manager, added: "For the past decade Matalan's staff and customers have continued to smash targets and raise more funds year after year for the NSPCC.
"This will ensure the most vulnerable children in communities across the West Midlands and the rest of the country can access help from the NSPCC, including through our Childline Service.
"We would like to thank all the hard work everyone has put in."

Gov. Mark Dayton says Minnesota politicians should be allowed to accept larger campaign contributions.
State law sets strict limits on the amount candidates can raise and spend. But Dayton says it's easy for political donors to get around the caps and avoid transparency.
"Then the money goes to [the] party. Or the money goes to some outside group who's going to make 'independent expenditures,' and then nobody knows where that money is coming from," Dayton said.
Dayton said he doesn't have a specific proposal yet, but he wants the Legislature to look at raising the limits next session — something he said hasn't happened in nearly 20 years.
The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board will discuss the issue on Wednesday, and may also propose raising the limits.

The Kings and team captain Dustin Brown agreed Thursday on an eight-season contract extension that will pay him an average of $5.75 million per year and keep him in uniform through 2021-22. He has played all of his nine NHL seasons with the Kings and has been the team's captain since Oct. 8, 2008.
By giving Brown a long-awaited and much-anticipated extension, the Kings took another step toward solidifying their future. Brown and forward Jeff Carter are signed through 2022. Goaltender Jonathan Quick is signed through 2023. Defensemen Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov are signed through 2019.
Forward Mike Richards is signed through 2020.
"Whenever you can lock up your captain on an eight-year contract, it says a lot about the way we feel about `Brownie,"' Kings general manager Dean Lombardi said during an video interview with radio analyst Daryl Evans.
"You add him to the core of the other top players we now have signed to long-term deals. Having your captain under the umbrella certainly is a good feeling. He's a classic case of somebody's who's grown, not only as a player but as man, every year. When I first got here, it was very difficult to get two words out of him. To see how much he's grown as a person is as incredible as his game. ...
"He has a passionate caring for this franchise."
Brown registered 18 goals and 11 assists in 46 games during the lockout-shortened 48-game season in 2012-13. He helped the Kings reach the Western Conference finals for the second consecutive season after guiding them to the Stanley Cup championship in 2011-12.
Brown, 28, has 388 points (181 goals, 207 assists) in 641 career games.

We have a saying in India that a person who hasn't seen Lahore has yet to be born. Lahore is a city in what is now Pakistan. The hub of land trade between India and the Middle East, it used to be call "the Paris of the East" because it was such an important center of high culture in India. The street foods and meat preparations of Lahore are still legendary.
This chicken curry recipe is a staple for Lahoris. The inclusion of potatoes makes it hearty and a wide assortment of spices delivers complexity.–Suvir Saran & Stephanie Lyness
LC Ingredients Note
Take a look at this ingredient list. It may, at first glance, seem a little lengthy, but everything in there looks pretty familiar, eh? You may just have what you need for this warming, wintry curry in your pantry. Love when that happens!
Lahori Chicken Curry Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- One 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces and skinned
- 3 medium red boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 3/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt
- 1 1/2 medium onions, roughly diced
- 5 garlic cloves
- 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and cut in half crosswise
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1-inch piece cinnamon stick
- 12 green cardamom pods
- 9 whole cloves
- 10 black peppercorns
- 3 whole dried red chiles
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 fresh hot green chile, cut in half
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons store-bought or homemade tomato paste
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt, whisked until smooth
- 1 cup plain water
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1. Combine the chicken, potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of the turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl and stir to coat the chicken and potatoes with the spices. Let stand while you make the sauce.
- 2. Finely mince the onion, garlic, and ginger in a food processor and set aside.
- 3. Combine 2 tablespoons of the oil, the cinnamon stick, cardamom, cloves, black peppercorns, red chiles, coriander, and cumin in a large casserole or pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and the cinnamon unfurls, 1 to 2 minutes.
- 4. Add the minced onion mixture, the green chile, and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to brown around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. You may need to turn the heat down to medium if they begin to brown too quickly.
- 5. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick and green chile and stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth. Set aside.
- 6. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil in the same casserole or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and potatoes and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the yogurt, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir well after each addition. Cook, stirring, to evaporate some of the moisture, about 2 minutes.
- 7. Add the puréed tomato mixture and bring to a boil. Stir in the water. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes, stirring every 5 to 8 minutes and scraping the bottom of the pan to keep the sauce from sticking. Uncover and cook until the sauce is reduced and thickened somewhat, 5 minutes more. Stir in the cilantro and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste. Serve hot.
T-shirt Variation
- Vegetarian Lahori Curry
- Substitute 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets, for the chicken.

Citing the Needs of the Many
Which Star Trek character said, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one"? Most notably, it was Spock in the movie The Wrath of Kahn. So what does that have to do with the Social Security Death Index? To my way of thinking, it points out the essence of the mistake the government is making when it cuts the majority of us off from free access to the regularly updated index.
I too will admit to having a personal genealogical interest in this limitation of public records as did Megan Smolenyak in her article Are We Going to Lose the Social Security Death Index (SSDI)? . I don't think I could say anything better than she did. We've also had some excellent articles about the SSDI debacle by Kimberly Powell at About: Genealogy (Social Security Administration Removing Names from Public Death Master File (aka SSDI)) as well as several others.
It seems logical to me that when the IRS was alerted to the fact that people were taking the social security numbers of deceased children and using them to claim them on their income taxes, that it was their responsibility to do due diligence and investigate it at their end. More people than just genealogists need this database and it's just "cutting off your nose to spite your face" to cut off access to the SSDI out of hand.

Kelsey Grammer's Custody Throwdown
By Hollywood standards, Kelsey and Camille Grammer enjoyed a long and happy marriage. Their union that lasted 13 years, produced two children, and together, they amassed an estimated $120 million fortune. But the marriage legally ended in February so that Kelsey could move on to his fourth wife, flight attendant Kayte Walsh, which he did just two weeks after the divorce was finalized.

The drama, however, is far from over. Kelsey and Camille, star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, now find themselves in the middle of a bitter legal battle that is playing out bit by bit in the tabloid media. Not since Britney Spears lost custody of her children to Kevin Federline in 2007 has a celebrity divorce and custody case attracted so much attention.
What they're going through off-camera is anybody's guess, but it's likely torturous. "Mere mortals think the rich and famous don't have problems when everyone has the same problems," said Los Angeles celebrity attorney Stacy D. Phillips, who has represented many celebrities in divorce and custody cases, including Spears and Bobby Brown. "But these are real people with real feelings, and you'd be surprised at how they act behind closed doors. To deal with this process is very scary and if someone is not scared, something must be wrong with them."
For the Grammers, who have a date in court today to determine custody for the summer, the legal road ahead is long and winding. Besides division of their ample assets—including 25 cars and homes in at least five state—custody of their two young children, Madison, 9, and Jude, 6, will likely be decided during a trial. Both Kelsey and Camille, through their representatives, declined to comment for this article.

"Separately, they're very good people, so it's really hard to watch them go through such a battle because you can't really divide children," said Allison DuBois, the psychic medium who became friends with both Kelsey and Camille when Kelsey produced the TV series, Medium, which is based on her claimed abilities and life. "It's not King Solomon. I hope the kids don't have to suffer too much because kids in the public eye go through more than kids who go through normal divorce because everyone's weighing in on what they think of their parents. And that can be very painful."
Camille, who is now filming the second season of RHBH, is willing to share legal and physical custody with her ex-husband, who is temporarily living in Chicago while he films a new Starz TV series, according to Los Angeles Superior Court records. But Kelsey does not want joint custody. In fact, in April he proposed having physical custody of only his son (his daughter would live with her mother), a request he amended in May when he filed for primary custody of both children, seeking to move them to New York City, court records show.

"Just when she thinks it couldn't get any worse, something happens that makes it even harder for her," said DuBois, who was vilified for her mean and intoxicated appearance on 'RHBH' and admits she is now closer to Camille than to Kelsey. "She's just trying to move on with her life. She's a nicer person than I. I wouldn't have let him out of the marriage so he could marry someone else before all the money was decided. That was big of her—to let him move on in that respect without having a sense of security of where her life was going."
With no prenuptial agreement in place, Camille Grammer stands to keep half of the estate, which includes $62.5 million in real estate, $1.4 million in vehicles and boats, $13 million in cash and equivalents, and a cut of Kelsey Grammer's retirement, pensions, and profit-sharing plans, according to court records. During most of their marriage, Kelsey starred in and produced the lucrative NBC hit, "Frasier," and produced other successful series, such as "Medium" and "The Game," which allowed the couple to maintain a lavish lifestyle that included traveling on private jets and hiring four nannies to take care of two children.
On June 6, Camille appeared on Ryan Seacrest's morning Los Angeles radio program and said she's been trying to reach Grammer "and it's very important for us to be very cordial to one another to raise our children properly…hopefully we'll work toward some kind of agreement on this." Six days later, Kelsey hit the Tony Awards red carpet with his new wife and invoked a different tone when he told Life & Style: "It's going to be a long, drawn-out thing. We'll be tortured and it will be unpleasant, I'm sure, but not on my side."
Related on The Daily Beast: Look through photos of New York's gay pride parade
DuBois, however, vouched for Camille, echoing that Kelsey refuses to take her calls, and blamed him for adding unnecessary tension to a difficult situation. On June 22, Camille complained to E! News that her ex-husband refused to give their children permission to appear in the upcoming season of RHBH. In court papers, she also has argued that her children belong in Los Angeles this summer because her daughter, Madison, goes to acting camp for one month, and her son, Jude, who has repeated kindergarten twice, needs to go to summer school in order to be allowed in the first grade in the fall.
"In my opinion, most of the anger that I've seen has come from his camp," DuBois said. "I hope he's able to realize that she's not a target. She's not someone to be adverse with. She's the mother of his children and was his wife for a very long time and she does deserve respect. She did not start this ball in motion. She would have stayed with him forever."

Whoever started it, the ball will roll until the lengthy process of sorting out the last 13 years is over. In Los Angeles, judges typically begin with the presumption of joint custody and work down from there, Phillips said. To determine the custody arrangement, the court will evaluate each parent to establish if drug or alcohol abuse or domestic violence issues exist in the family. The court also will evaluate each parents' relationship to each child, and a mental health professional will evaluate the children separately.
"If you have basically two healthy parents and two basically good parents, it would be hard for a court to just move the kids across the country," Phillips said. "But think about what it will be like for a 9 year old and a 6 year old to regularly travel that distance to see both parents. In California, a move-away case is the worst you can have. There are no winners here. Everybody loses, especially the children. These cases are just awful. Judges hate them, mental health professionals hate them, and lawyers hate them. Is it challenging? Yeah. But from a human standpoint, it's awful."

A woman walking along Hampton beach was dragged into the bushes and sexually assaulted last week.
Victoria Police said the woman, 20, was walking along a bike track near the intersection of Beach and South roads when the assault happened.
About 10pm on Tuesday 13 November, she was grabbed by an unknown man and dragged into nearby bushes on the opposite side of the track. The man then sexually assaulted her and tried to remove her clothing.
The woman fought the man off and then ran to a nearby house.
The man is described as white, in his late 30s, 183 centimetres tall with a stocky build, dark eyes and sandy hair. He was wearing a black puffy bomber jacket and black pants, as well as a black beanie. During the assault he rolled the beanie down over his face but afterwards, it is believed, he removed it.
He was last seen walking south along the bike path.

We invest directly in winemakers. We don't invest in sales, marketing, fancy packaging and other things you can't taste. Which means you get more bang for your buck. People that help us invest get an even better deal. We call them Angels.
Get delicious wines made exclusively for you delivered to your door, and get an even better deal by becoming an Angel. You'll
If you become an Angel, you earn these benefits by investing $40 a month in your Naked piggy bank, yours to spend on any of our wines whenever you want.
But the Angels are a closed group at this time. If you'd like to become an Angel, you can put your name on the waiting list.
Look around a bit, pick from our highest rated wines or grab a mixed 6-pack we've put together for new customers, and check out! Or if you're a techno-phobe, give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718 and we'll place the order for you.
We can ship packs of 6 and cases of 12 virtually anywhere. Some states can also take larger packs (with 15 bottles in them).
Your best bet is to click on the green basket button in the top right corner of the page where it will tell you how many more bottles you need to add to checkout.
For mainland United States orders that are less than $100, we ship for $9.99 via FedEx, GSO or UPS. Delivery is included with each purchase of $100 or more except for MA, HI, and AK where there is no delivery included. Alaska and Hawaii also take longer and cost $130 and $70 per package respectively. Sorry guys, but hey, you live in paradise so there is compensation.
Depending on your address, deliveries are on Monday-Friday or Tuesday-Saturday during regular working hours and they'll require a signature from somebody over 21 years old.
Most deliveries will take 2-6 business days, generally... Except for NJ, HI and AK. If you live in any of those states, it could take up to 14 business days.
The shipper will attempt to deliver three times and then they turn into a pumpkin. Ok, not really. But almost. And we're as frustrated as you are when deliveries don't go smoothly. Some states will actually destroy your parcel if nobody's there to receive it 3 times in a row and wasting wine makes everybody angry.
If you're having delivery issues, the best way to sort it out is to call in at 1-800-673-4718 and we can figure out the best way to get you your wine.
We love shipping to business addresses. Deliveries to commercial addresses are M-F during normal business hours. Since our orders require an adult signature, work places tend to be a great way of guaranteeing delivery.
We can ship to: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NY, NJ, NM, NC, ND, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, VA, WA, WI, WV, WY.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO, AFT, DPO or FPO addresses. For some zanier addresses (eg. I live in a van down by the river!) we'll only accept them with a telephone number.
Yes, and we have a number of convenient shipping options depending on where you're having the wine delivered.
You can have wine shipped to:
Important: Please remember that somebody needs to be there to sign for the wine and they need to be 21+ years old.
In some states we can't work with FedEx. We're always working on ways to make your shipping more convenient.
We work with several reliable carriers and distribution partners, depending on where you live. We have multiple warehouses that specialize in getting the wine to you as quickly as possible so you'll receive a timely delivery from a dependable carrier.
Yes, but make sure the person is 21 and that they'll sign to receive it. We can also include gift messages. And a big shiny sticker on top of the parcel so they know a friend got it for them.
During checkout, we'll verify that we can legally ship the wine to the address you're sending it to. If there are any problems, we'll let you know before we charge you.
No, sorry. You need to sign to accept the parcel.
If you want to cancel your order for any reason give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718 as soon as possible and we'll cancel it for you and give you your money back.
Note: Many states have specific laws about the transfer and shipment of wine, so it isn't always possible to cancel the delivery. That warehouse team moves as fast as lightning! But we can still work something out. Just give us a ring or send an email to email@example.com
You get your money back. We only charge you for the wine you love, guaranteed.
And let us know by going to your Naked Me and giving the wine a thumbs down. Once you do that, we know to steer you away from wines that taste similar and you can avoid other wines you might not enjoy.
And we'll also use this to figure out which winemakers are doing the best job at making wines our customers will love. It's a win-win!
Still not sure what to go for? Give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718 and ask for one of our friendly Wine Advisors who will customize a case to match YOUR taste buds.

Angels found a smarter way to buy wine.
Angels get:
Angels get this by depositing $40 a month into their Naked piggy bank to spend on wine whenever they like.
The genius here is that the money serves two purposes at once while it sits in your account, we can confidently invest in winemaking projects around the world. We hire the best winemakers and give them the resources to get the best fruit and the best equipment to make great wine.
And because we're confident that you'll use the money in your account to buy these delicious wines, we don't have to invest in sales, marketing and other stuff you can't taste.
Then you get to use your money to get these amazing handcrafted wines, and you get them at Angel-only prices 40-60% off because they wouldn't even exist without your support.
The whole thing is so positive, it makes me smile just thinking about it.
Oh, if you ever change your mind, your money is still sitting there in your account and we can refund it in part or in full to your credit card. No problemo!
Angels are currently a closed group with a waiting list to join. You can put your name on the list here
Canceling your Angel status is easy. There are

If you're into wine, you probably know that "wine club" usually means you pay a subscription and the club (often a winery) sends regular shipments of wine. We aren't doing that.
Instead, Angels put money in their piggy bank (not a subscription; they can get it back at any time). And they can come and shop at the site with that money as often or as little as they want.
Most of our customers like this way better since they choose what wine they get and when they get it. But in the more general sense, we are a group of people who really enjoy wine. So if "wine club" just meant a club that likes wine, we'd be that.
Buying direct from wineries is a great way to support already existing winemakers. But you'll pay a lot more without necessarily benefiting the winemaker.
Being an Angel means you're financing new winemakers and creating new projects (often folks who couldn't afford to have a winery without your support), and you tend to get much more bang for your buck because of that.
Here's our main wine guy explaining how Angels are sometimes better than direct sales:
"The cost of selling wine direct to consumer is huge. You either have expensive real estate that attracts visitors or you're spending a big budget to reach out and get people to come to you. Then you're hiring staff (because a winemaker should be in the cellar, not pouring wine all day for looky-loos), training sales people, and giving healthy commissions to folks who sign up club members."
"Even if Angels pay less money per bottle than other people who visit a winery and buy direct, the winemaker is often making more per bottle. No sales team, no marketing campaigns, no fancy French architects designing multi-million dollar tourist attractions on Highway 29."--Matt Parish, Wine Guy
No, Angels save money all the time, not just for short slash sales with limited windows of opportunity. It's more than temporary discounts on wine. Angels actually make production less risky and less costly.
Flash sales are by definition temporary. On the other hand, the value Angels create last year after year. The way Angels crowd-fund wines means that the winemaker never wastes money on sales or marketing. So quality can go up and prices come down vintage after vintage.
The UK version of the website does have timed sales offers, but it's a pretty tiny part of what we do.
Probably not. Virtually all the wines on the site are Angel-funded and exclusively available here. But our winemakers are all responsible for some of the famous wines you will find at stores.
Angels crowd-fund these winemakers and promise to drink up all their wine, so the winemakers offer the wines exclusively through NakedWines.com and many are reserved for the Angels.
Yep, we do! It's an exclusive reward for our Angel customers who are key members of the community and deserve every drop of those bottles.
The wine is delicious. We intentionally pick our best wines because we want to make the reward as good as possible and we want to get good feedback from our beloved Angels.
These wines are always worth at least $19.99 and are regularly sold on the site at that full retail price.
Haha, yes, these are 750 ml bottles of delicious wine. We love how skeptical people are about this special treat. This really is a frequently asked question, and we're happy to say this is a real offer. One FULL-SIZED bottle of awesome wine included in your case each month that you order.
If you're an Angel, the bottle will appear in your Naked Me and you can add it to your basket from there.
Just add 11 other bottles to your basket and checkout and you should have a $0 bottle in that order.
If you have trouble, don't hesitate to email email@example.com or give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718.
Unfortunately, some areas (like TN, NE and DC) won't let you order more than 12 bottles at a time. If you add a 12 bottle case to your basket that's 12+1 and it won't work. :( See the full list of irritating state laws that might be getting between you and your wine here.
If you have trouble picking out the wines and getting the order to work, just send us an email at email@example.com or call 1-800-673-4718.
When the bottle appears varies month-to-month based on inventory availability, but if you get impatient you can always email firstname.lastname@example.com or give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718.
Keep an eye on your Naked Me page and your inbox to be sure you don't miss out.
Sometimes, the Angel bottle may be deleted from your basket. If you're entitled to an Angel bottle, you can find it again by visiting your Naked Me. You have a wall on your Naked Me page and you will see a post there with an 'add to basket' option for the Angel sample bottle. If you need any further assistance, give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718.
You may have gotten your wings after we sent out the Angel sample. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or give us a ring at 1-800-673-4718 and we'll sort it all out.
You can find mixed cases under the cases tab or assemble your own case through the wines tab. You can also browse individual wines to build your own case. Sort those wines by the highest customer ratings, or filter them to only see red wines, white wines, or sweet wines.
Once you've tried a few wines, you should tell us whether you think you'd buy them again or not. This will let us customize the entire store to your tastebuds. If you keep telling us you dislike oaky Chardonnay, we can stop showing you oaky Chard. If you say you love a big inky Zin you tried, we'll show you other Zins or maybe a Petite Sirah. The more often you give feedback, the better we can customize the shop.
On the Naked Me tab, you'll find a lot of free tools:
If you want to cancel your order for any reason give us a ring on 1-800-673-4718 as soon as possible and we'll cancel it for you and give you your money back.
N.B. Because we deliver very promptly and many states have specific laws about the transfer and shipment of wine, it isn't always possible to cancel the delivery. That warehouse team moves as fast as lightning! But you can refuse to accept the wines when they arrive (just tell the delivery person to return the wines to sender). We'll refund your money when the wine arrives back at the warehouse.
Reeefuuund! If you don't like a wine, or it's corked or damaged, then we'll give you a full refund. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 1-800-673-4718 and we'll sort it out for you.
We like to see a lot of chatter on the website.
Unlike any other online wine retailer we know, you can:
We rely on feedback from customers so we can grow and improveso please don't be shy!
Our winemakers in particular love hearing what you think, so when they're working on new vintages, they know what our customers are looking for!
Here are a few ways you can interact once you're registered and logged in:
TOP TIP: The BEST place to start is to join our Naked Novices group and introduce yourself!
We want talented winemakers who can make great wine without wasting time or money on marketing. Many of them come to us.
You can read more about our winemakers' illustrious careers at some of the world's best wineries and see that we really get the cream of the crop!
Since we finance everything and sell everything we finance, our winemakers don't have to worry about funding, marketing or sales. Zero risk and more time to concentrate on making great wine tend to be pretty convincing arguments.
Just drop us an email at email@example.com. We're looking for talented winemakers who have sussed out great opportunities to make wine and need help with the financing and sales. So tell us what you've done that makes you special, what opportunities you've found, and give us an idea of how we can help you.
In the UK, we allow winemakers to pitch their wines directly to consumers through a part of the site called MarketPlace. Feel free to check that out and see how it works. We plan on bringing this to the US one day too.
If you received a
We know that trying a new wine can be a scary experience. And we need to earn your trust. So we try to make the first case as affordable as possible.
We'll also try to make the choice easy for you by recommending a case of wine. The recommended case has a good panoply of wines that represent the diversity and quality of our range. That said, if you want to build your own case, feel free to do that under the Wines tab of our website.
Note that the voucher you got should say exactly how much money you get off and it will probably have a minimum spend on there too. Like $50 off of a purchase of at least $200. If you build your own case, make sure that you hit the minimum spend amount or you won't be able to claim the voucher.
We cannot honor vouchers in: IN, MA, MI, MO, NC, SD, TX, VT, VA, WV, Honolulu & Maui – We're very sorry, and wish we could honor this deal but your state laws prevent us from doing so.
For vouchers with delivery included, this does not apply for shipments to AK or HI.

It really depends on the individual delivery. Sometimes the wine is fine the day of, but it usually pays to have a bit of patience. They have come a loooooooooonnng way and will look and taste better after a little nap. Old reds especially. If you can't wait to dive in, try something light and white.
The best thing to do is find somewhere consistent. Avoid big swings in temperature, humidity, and light. If the bottle has a cork, try to lay it down so the cork stays a bit wet. And try to find somewhere dark, but that's less crucial.
There's nothing wrong with keeping bottles in the fridge (dark, stable temperature, stable humidity) but you'll want to take the wine out before drinking it to get to the right temperature (especially on reds and richer wines and higher alcohol wines).
If you could have a dream storage, there are lots of articles online about perfect storage conditions. You want a cellar that is pretty humid, cool (like 65 F), and dark. The cellar temperature slowly fluctuates over the year which is great as long as the fluctuation is sloooow (like as slow as the seasons change). And you want to lay the bottle down so it keeps the cork closure wet, but you ideally also want a bit of the air bubble in the bottle to touch the cork (so a sudden change in temperature/air pressure will push air through the cork rather than wine). So you know, if you ever decide to turn your neighbor's flat into a wine cellar, now you know exactly what you're aiming for.
Pop the whites into the bottom of the fridge for 30 minutes before you plan to drink them. Don't OVER-chill or you might lose flavor (unless it's really freaking hot. You do what you want.)
Reds should be closer to 65 degrees F. Some people say room temperature but that's dead wrong if you live in Florida and think room temperature is a balmy 80 degrees. Think room temperature in a nice restaurant where it's actually a bit chilly.
The general rule here is food you like with wine you like and people you like sharing your wine with. There are a handful of combinations where that won't work but this rule works 98% of the time.
That said, if you really want some tips:
Many, many of our wines use twist off caps. These spoil wine much less than cork closures do. For wines that are meant to be consumed young (and most of our Angels do consume wine within a year of purchasing them) screw cap preserves the freshness and style that the winemaker wanted to present to you.
Mainstream middlemen in the US are scared of switching to screwcap because most wine drinkers haven't been exposed to it yet. They often force winemakers to use cork even though screwcap might be superior for a particular wine. Entire countries like Australia and New Zealand have switched to screwcap and think it's ridiculous that that they are forced to bottle their wines with corks just for the American market.
Whites are generally ready to consume as soon as they're on the site, and the fresh, crisp whites should be consumed within a year. The richer, oakier whites or the very structured, mineral whites (if you don't know what that means, don't feel bad. Neither do I.) can generally age more than a few years.
You can generally hold the reds for at least 2 years and often much more. There should be aging recommendations on the individual wine pages - if that's missing feel free to ask the winemaker and we'll get it updated. But a good basic rule is that if we put a cork in it, you can hold onto it for a bit longer as its expected to age and we've traded off the consistency of screwcap for the aging potential of cork.
All this assumes you have a good place to store the wine. If the place you keep your wine regularly swings in temperature or under bright lights, you should probably not try to age the wine for decades.
But let's face it, you're going to drink 99% of this wine within a month of buying it. So dive in!

A HAMPSHIRE centre which provides essential support to disabled people has received donations from the public to the tune of nearly £130,000.
The Rainbow Centre in Fareham supports children suffering with cerebral palsy and adults born with severe neurological impairment launched a crisis appeal in March following the threat of closure.
It aims to raise £150,000 to keep its services running and have been given £129,000 in just four weeks of campaigning.

Youth Only Hunting Weekend Full of Opportunity
AUSTIN, Texas — Passing the hunting tradition through the generations and providing opportunities for young hunters this fall are the goals of special youth-only seasons.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has set aside the weekend of Oct. 29-30 as special youth-only seasons for white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey and waterfowl in the North and South Duck Zones, to encourage adults to share the hunting experience with the next generation of hunters.
"We hope these opportunities will motivate folks to devote some time afield with youth and pass on Texas' hunting heritage to the next generation," said Mike Berger, PhD, director of wildlife with TPWD.
During the statewide special youth-only hunting weekend, licensed youth 16 years of age or younger will be allowed to harvest white-tailed deer and Rio Grande turkey.
General season bag limits for the county hunted apply during the youth-only weekend. For example:
In Bowie, Brazos, Camp, Cherokee, Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Gregg, Grimes, Hopkins, Houston, Lamar, Madison, Morris, Red River, Robertson, Rusk, Titus, Upshur, and Wood counties, the bag and permit requirements are the same as for doe days on Nov. 24-27. For the remainder of the state, the bag and permit requirements are the same as for the first two days of the general season in the county. In a county where antlerless deer may be taken only by permit, a permit is required to take antlerless deer during the youth seasons.
Hunting for ducks, mergansers and coots during the youth-only waterfowl hunts will be limited to youngsters 15 years of age or younger. Normal bag limits and hunting restrictions apply, except that pintail and canvasback ducks may be taken during the youth-only waterfowl hunts. Certification under the Harvest Information Program is required of anyone, regardless of age, who hunts waterfowl or any other type of migratory game bird. No federal or state migratory bird hunting stamp is required for qualifying youth to hunt during the special youth-only waterfowl hunt days. However, during the regular waterfowl seasons, the $15 Federal Duck Stamp is mandatory for hunters 16 years of age or older and the $7 Texas Migratory Game Bird Stamp is mandatory for hunters 17 or older.
TPWD has made an effort to open as much public hunting land as possible to youth hunts. Youth hunting on departmental public hunting lands must be accompanied by a supervising adult 18 years of age or older who possesses the required APH permit, a valid hunting license and any required stamps and permits.
Youth hunts for either sex white-tailed deer are scheduled during the special weekend season on 21 public hunting units covering nearly 325,000 acres, mostly in East Texas. Youth waterfowl hunts are available on 61 public hunting units.
In addition, TPWD is making available afternoon-only dove hunting on Mad Island WMA during Oct. 29-30. Youth 16 and under do not need a special permit, however, either an Annual Public Hunting Permit or a Regular Permit is required of all other hunters.
The Annual Public Hunting Permit is a $48 permit, valid from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31 of the following year. The permit allows an adult access to designated public hunting lands in the TPWD public hunting lands program. Hunting is allowed for small game, turkey, white-tailed deer, exotics, predators, furbearers, and fishing without having to pay daily permit fees and in most instances, without having to be selected in a drawing.
Along with the appropriate Texas hunting licenses and stamps, permit holders may take youth under age 17 hunting free of charge on these public hunting lands.
Permits are available wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold, online through the TPWD Web site (tpwd.texas.gov) or by calling 1-800-TX-LIC-4U and paying by major credit card. There is a $5 convenience fee for online and phone purchases. If the permit is purchased at a TPWD office, the public hunting lands map booklet and supplement will be provided immediately at the time of purchase; otherwise, the publications will be mailed to the purchaser within two weeks of purchase.

MONTREAL — The Teenage Health Unit at Jewish General Hospital's (JGH) Goldman-Herzl Family Practice Centre is striving to cope with increasing demand for its services amid budgetary challenges.
Herzl administrators worry that this situation could eventually affect the unit's level of care.
Established in the mid-1980s by Herzl director Dr. Michael Malus, the unit provides free medical and psychological support – in strictest confidence if desired – to teens aged 13 to 19.
Services range from basic medical care and reproductive health to issues they say are being presented on a more frequent basis: bullying, depression, stress, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and even cutting and serious thoughts of suicide.
"There are so many kids in need now," Carmelina Ricciuto, Herzl's chief administrator, told The CJN at a recent fundraiser for the unit co-ordinated by the JGH Auxiliary and held at Au Vieux Duluth restaurant in St. Laurent, which donated to the unit all contributions related to the event.
"There is a triage process, but I would say we are seeing more than 1,000 [teens] each month," said Cindy Pessah, a psychology co-ordinator at Herzl.
The fundraising event came only days after 15-year-old Amanda Todd killed herself in Port Coquitlam, B.C., following months of bullying and harassment online and at school.
The event also came as the unit was searching for innovative ways to meet its $300,000 annual budgetary requirements. This has become a more pressing issue since one benefactor discontinued support more than a year ago (the unit uses private funding because cognitive psychological therapy – the primary one used at the unit – is not covered by medicare).
In 2011, the JGH Auxiliary donated $100,000 to the unit.
"Funding is becoming a huge problem," said Ricciuto, who described it as a crisis situation. "The cheques are coming slower now."
Thought has even been given to "capping" the number of sessions for teens to meet with psychologists, Ricciuto indicated – something never considered previously because it is virtually impossible to predict how much therapy teens in crisis might need.
For Malus and unit clinical psychologist Perry Adler, the rise in the number of cases is attributable to several factors, among them unprecedented social and school pressures that did not exist to the same extent years ago.
In the case of bullying, "you used to be able to go home and find refuge from it," Malus said. But now, bullying and harassment follow you home on Facebook and Twitter, "and there's no escaping it."
The Teenage Health Unit's roots date back to 1983, said Malus, who also heads the JGH's department of family medicine, to when he visited a residence for pregnant teens as part of a research project.
In 1985, after visiting a number of high schools, Malus saw that teens face common issues regardless of family income or ethnic background – a realization that led to the creation of the unit.
"That was the beginning of our relationship [with high schools]," Malus said, adding that the unit continues to visit schools every year as part of its outreach program and to hand out wallet-sized cards with contact information on them – something teens take full advantage of.
"Our interventions are up 47 per cent," Malus said." We've become victims of our own success."
The Teenage Health Unit is only one aspect of the Herzl centre, whose roots go back to 1912 as a dispensary. At the time, it served both as the organizational model for the Jewish federation and as a precursor of the JGH, which was established in 1935.
The Family Practice Centre, used for the clinical training of resident physicians in family medicine office practice, is described as "state-of-the-art," divided between a Family Medicine Clinic and a CRIU Walk-In Centre located inside the JGH's Pavilion H on Cote des Neiges Road.
The centre uses primary care staff physicians, as well as teams of residents, psychologists, nurses, nurse-practitioners and co-ordinators.
As part of the centre's post-graduate training program, residents are involved in its adolescent medicine program dealing at a medical level with "common adolescent problems," as well as other issues, including maternal child health, drug rehabilitation, geriatrics, pediatrics, breastfeeding, mental health, women's health and in-patient care.
The teen unit itself has more than 20 psychologists who meet with teens on a continuing basis, "all free to the patient," Pessah said.

Mozeliak excited about acquisition of Redbirds
Memphis, Tenn. -- A little bit of disappointment capped the day for Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak. The Cards formally announced their purchase of the Redbirds and long-term lease of AutoZone Park on Friday, but the Cardinals-Redbirds exhibition game was washed out by rain.
"It was exciting to finally get the keys to the building, and it would have been special to have this game, had we better luck with the weather," Mozeliak said.
During presentations to city officials in the last year, the Cardinals outlined several improvements they planned to make to the park.
"Obviously, the improvements will have to wait until the end of this season, but one of our goals is to get much of the upgrades in place for 2015," said Mozeliak. "Once the season starts, we may look to see what makes the most sense for this year and future years.
"I've always been a big fan of this ballpark and Minor League baseball in Memphis. ... I think it's about putting a product out there that we can be proud of and the city of Memphis can be proud of and embrace."

Detailed Description:
The aim of this study is to show the existence of a clinical benefit rising from a substitution of the striatal neurons degenerated among a large cohort of Huntington's patient at early stage by homologous neurons coming from human foetuses, This effect will be estimated, compared with a group of patients not treated at first, on the results of the motor scale of the Unified Huntington Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS, Huntington study group, on 1996).
Transplants will be realized in two surgical times to avoid the risk of hurts per-operating, BI-CAUDES, if transplants were realized at single time. The minimal interval between both transplants will be of 2 weeks, so as to let the patient recover of the first general anaesthesia It's a multicentric study of phase II randomised and controlled, with direct individual benefit.

Home maintenance helps systems operate at optimal efficiency and lower the chances of a problem. For most people their house is their most valuable investment. So why do we tend to forget home maintenance? It seems like even cars get more love despite the large price disparity compared to a house.
