John and Yoko famously had their bed-in, in which they spent two weeks in bed as a way to promote peace. Fast forward to 2010 and our own Maxwell Ryan spent a year in bed to promote better sleep. OK, he didn't actually spend an entire year in bed — but he did spend a year testing a new mattress in his own home every month. Let's look back at his findings...
Maxwell's Top Ten Mattresses:
- Danny Seo Natural Care Mattress by Simmons As a friend of Danny's Maxwell was initially reticent about reviewing his mattress. What if he didn't like it? What if it got a bad review? All that worry over nothing! It turns out that this was the top ranking mattress, getting high marks for its sleep experience, construction and price. It doesn't look like Danny Seo-branded mattress is available today but Simmons still produces a Natural Care line.
- NaturaLatex Tranquil by Natura This mattress actually tied for first place in Maxwell's ranking. While he didn't initially have a positive experience with foam mattresses, this one proved to be just right. Maxwell rated it as "excellent" for sleep and "very good" for construction and price.
- The Hastens Excelsior II While this mattress reviewed well, at just over $13,000 it's an investment piece.
- Savoir No. 2 Bed - "The Savoy" What's it like to sleep on a $15,000 bespoke mattress? Excellent - but not at first. Maxwell reports, "You have to get used to this bed. For a $15k bed, we were both amazed at what a lumpy first impression it made. The horsehair topper settled big-time over our thirty days."
- The Royal Sovereign "Concerto LS" Maxwell reported an excellent sleep experience and very good construction but the $5,000 price tag kept this mattress from ranking higher.
- The Keetsa Pillow Plus Maxwell was impressed with this eco-friendly mattress from a small, family-owned company. The sleep experience was excellent, construction was very good and, at about $700, the pricing is pretty reasonable.
- The Biltmore Bed by Charles P. Rogers While this mattress provided a good night's sleep, its coil, foam and cotton/polyester didn't win Maxwell over for sustainability or naturalness. At just under $800, however, the pricing is very good for a traditional mattress.
- TEMPUR-Cloud Supreme w/ Adjustable Base Although not a fan of memory foam mattresses in general, Maxwell did report that he had a good sleep experience on this one. The true selling point of this bed might be the adjustable base, especially if you work/watch TV in bed. While Maxwell didn't use it much, his young daughter loved the feature.
- Embody Memory Foam by Sealy Maxwell initially found the squishiness of this memory foam mattress quite comforting — although he had spent the previous month on a very firm mattress — but he quickly noticed that he overheated due to lack of air circulation.
- IKEA Sultan Erfjord After sleeping on a $15,000 mattress, how does it feel to sleep on an affordable option from IKEA? Not bad. But not great either. This mattress felt a little too firm to Maxwell. Once he added a pillow topper, his sleep experience improved considerably.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Court records in Lavabit LLC's fight for internet privacy and security are now public. Although most of the documents have been redacted, 23 court orders, pleadings, and other documents are now available to the public while the case is on appeal in the Fourth Circuit.
During an investigation, the federal government demanded both unfettered access to Lavabit's server and a copy of the Lavabit encryption keys used to secure web, instant message and email traffic. After having a motion to quash the search warrant was denied, Ladar Levison, the owner and operator of Lavabit, was compelled to surrender the encryption keys. Mr. Levison then made the difficult decision to suspend operations, stating on his website: "I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit."
By suspending Lavabit operations indefinitely Mr. Levison has lost his main source of income and says that "without the donations people have made to the Lavabit Legal Defense Fund there is no way I would have been able to afford the legal support needed to win my appeal."
Mr. Levison has received tremendous support in his ongoing battle to defend internet freedom and privacy rights. Thousands of people have opened their wallets and generously chipped in with contributions to the Lavabit Legal Defense Fund. To date the fund has raised just over $150,000, "but that simply isn't enough" claims Mr. Levison.
Mr. Levison continues to ask for donations of what you can afford by visiting http://tinyurl.com/m65n4ko or via the link on http://lavabit.com/.

We have a lot of friends come down to visit us who have never been to Tuscaloosa. It's a mid-size town with a few things worth seeing, but the main attraction is the football and food. When there's no football, we just have to make do with great food.
Friday Lunch: City Cafe
The best of the best! Classic southern meat and three. The only thing that's changed since the 1960′s is the prices – they go up about $0.05 a year. Closed on the weekends, and only open for breakfast & lunch so you have to prioritize.
Friday Dinner: Nick's in the Sticks
Double check the address before you leave, you don't want to get lost looking for this place. It's tucked just off the road with a sign that's easy to miss so look for a parking lot full of cars. Expect to wait about an hour or more. Buy a couple of drinks at the bar (everybody talks about the "Nickademus" – make sure you have a DD!) and then smoke a few cigarettes outside while you wait.
One of the best steaks I've ever had – thick, bacon wrapped, and actually a true medium-rare.
Saturday Breakfast: Rama Jama's
There is some serious debate over who has the better breakfast – City Cafe or Rama Jama's. I lean towards Rama just because the memorabilia is entertaining for folks who've never seen Bama Football madness. 2 eggs scrambled, with sausage patties, toast, cheese grits, and coffee. Mmmm! That's a good way to start the day.
The great thing about Rama's for a weekend breakfast is you can walk off your pain by taking a look at the football stadium. Around the front towards University Blvd is the Walk of Champions with large, gaudy bronze statues of all the football coaches who have won national championships over the years – 14. Don't forget it! The really crazy part is thousands of people line up to see the players walk-in towards the stadium before every home game.
Saturday Lunch: Bama Smoke House
Don't let the fact that it's built in next to a gas station throw you off. They have the best ribs in town. If you're feeling hungry or thinking about splitting (you'll change your mind), get the 2-meat with 2-sides. The smoked sausage pairs up great with the ribs. This is not my favorite pork in town – drive right down the street to the Pigg Shack if you want a great pork sausage.
Saturday Dinner: Cypress Inn
The best part about this place is the view. You can't beat a sunset dinner looking out over the river. If it's raining though, the indoor seating is decent.
Pretty much the cheapest thing is the best thing on the menu! Get the smoked chicken with white BBQ sauce and ask for extra rolls. I know this is cheating the system, but grab that chicken and stuff it into a warm roll. Wow!
If you want to play by their fancy rules and not eat with your fingers, get the catfish or maybe a pasta. Everything else is hit or miss.
Sunday Breakfast: Waysider
Legend has it Coach "Bear" Bryant used to eat breakfast here, so if you want to become a legend then you should too. Basically, think of this as your grandmother's dining room that hasn't been redecorated in decades, with a few extra tables and chairs. The nice way of saying it is, it's "cozy" or "intimate." Arrive early to get a table.
Sunday Lunch: Carmelo Cafe
We wrap the dining blitzkrieg with a lunch similar to how we started. Think of Carmelo's as a nice, fresh, organic-ish version of City Cafe. When they run out of something, it's done for the day. Simple, fresh dishes made from local ingredients.
Pick anything you like! You can't go wrong here. I usually get the catfish, but only after changing my mind 10 times.
Plan B's / Honorable Mentions:
Archibald's BBQ – This is the original Archibald's (not to be confused with the many unsuccessful off-shoots) and this is for the folks who think I didn't include enough BBQ shacks on the list. They've got 4 stools and a wood fire for cooking in a run down cinder block shack. You can't get more local and run down than this.
Catfish Heaven – Seriously great catfish in a less than ideal dining area. Most folks just grab it to go, but they do have a couple tables. Try the purple drink!
After Dinner / Bars:
The Alcove – Best bar in town with the best selection and atmosphere. They've got great outdoor seating and they keep the music low enough so you can actually have a conversation! They've always got great regional beers on tap.
The Gray Lady – Decent alternative if the Alcove is too crowded. They've got the turf from the old football stadium hanging up over the bar. Yeah, football is serious here.
Sweets and Treats:
Edelweiss German Bakery & Cafe – Best Coffee in town, with a decent patio for outdoor seating.
Rama Jama's – Swing back by for a milkshake if you need a nice lazy afternoon.
Mary's Cakes and Pastries - This place is tucked away, almost behind City Cafe, in downtown Northport. You will walk out happy.
Gigi's Cupcakes – I don't get it, but some folks go crazy about this place. Too much icing for my taste.

Welcome to the worldwide Santacon nexus, the orginal resource for Santarchy events across the globe.
Each December Santas visit cities around the world, engaging in a bit of Santarchy as part of the annual Santacon events.
It all started back in 1994 when several dozen Cheap Suit Santas paid a visit to downtown San Francisco for a night of Kringle Kaos organized by the Cacophony Society. Things have reached Critical Xmas and Santarchy is now a global phenomenon.
Check out our Santarchy FAQ.
You'd better watch out! Santa's coming to town!
PLEASE NOTE: We are not associated with any commercial Santacon websites that are attempting to cash in on Santarchy. The Santacon events have always been advertising-free events without sponsorships.

Vergne, Philippe. "Kaoru Arima." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
Since 1997, Kaoru Arima has produced works on a daily basis, filling notebooks, plain paper, and pages torn from newspapers in various languages with his eccentric figurative drawings. His imagery alludes to a wide range of sources, unfolding a complex and intricate iconography: the Roman god Priapus emerging from the back of a child centaur; a hydrocephalous salary-man wearing nothing but a tie; a mermaid flirting with a hairy devil; a man growing puppets from his own arms. Twisted mythologies merging with underground icons, primal anxiety juxtaposed with absolute serenity, and sharp sarcasm next to naïve poetry—all these contradictions animate Arima's odd drawings.
Arima draws with a delicate, almost nervous line and lets his figures occupy the center of the page, isolating them on a patch of white paint when he uses a newspaper support. A very short text is embedded in each, providing a parallel or equivalent to the visual information. These texts are as absurd as the drawings, revealing a delight in word play, puns, and the comedy of life. With the images, they reveal a philosophical worldview that seems consistent with the fears, fascinations, beliefs, and taboos in contemporary Japanese society. An integral part of his practice as an artist is the Art Drug Center, an exhibition space in the remote location of Inuyama City that has become a necessary local link between communities and cultural projects.
Arima merges cultural references with philosophy and "zero-emotion" humor. In an oblique way, he follows the poetic tradition of the haiku—his drawings are like very short poems that appear to be cute aphorisms yet are informed by direct personal experience. His practice is fed by the dual traditions of Zen Buddhism and Conceptual Art, which aim to systematically analyze and exhaust the temporal, spatial, and cultural parameters that constitute art and culture. The subversive dimension of Arima's work stems from the fact that each of these traditions critiques the other, but neither dominates. The artist proposes a related reading of his work that is both profound and disarmingly simple: "If I look deeper into my work, I'm probably searching for the reason for my existence… . I'm describing weaknesses and strengths existing together as one, which may sound depressing to you, but I'm enjoying my life every day."1

Celebrated as one of the most influential figurative painters of our time, Chuck Close has remained a vital presence by focusing exclusively on portraiture, a genre often underrecognized in contemporary art. Since the 1960s, Close has used his inimitable style of representational painting to portray friends, family, fellow artists, and himself. In all of the media in which he works, whether painting, drawing, photography, collage, or printmaking, he begins with the photograph as his subject. By choosing, as he often remarks, to consistently "alter the variables" in the way he transposes his photographic sources, he has created a remarkable pictorial language that continues to become richer and to expand through time.
By 1967, Close had completed graduate work at Yale University, moved to New York City, and abandoned the abstract work of his school years to begin painting from photographs. "I wanted something very specific to do where there were rights and wrongs," he has remarked, "and so I decided to just use whatever happened in the photograph … By limiting myself to black paint on white canvas, I would have to make decisions early and live with them."1 At the same time, he sought to eliminate any brushes or tools with which he was comfortable working: "I was constructing a series of self-imposed limitations that would guarantee that I could no longer make what I had been making and push me somewhere else."2
His first attempt was an enormous painting of a reclining female nude, from which he honed some of the decisions about where to go next, such as using an airbrush, a tool with which he was unfamiliar. Making this work led Close to paint his first self-portrait.3 "The day that I photographed myself I was actually photographing the nude, which I had just completed; I had film left over and I shot myself. There wasn't anyone to look through the viewfinder, so I focused on the wall and got the distance from the lens to the wall that was in focus. I cut a little cardboard strip, and then I moved the camera back out into the middle of the room and I would put the strip of cardboard between the lens and me so I knew that I would be in focus. I didn't realize I was tilting so much in all these photographs. And I didn't realize that I was going to get so much out of focus. Then I realized the minute I started to make the painting that it was far more interesting because there was a range of focus. The tip of the nose blurred and the ears and everything else went out of focus, so I began to engineer that… . I also didn't realize, until I made the painting, how crucial it was to shoot from below so that the painting looms over you."4
Big Self-Portrait (1967–1968) was a watershed image for Close, in that it established his basic working method, which he has continued to use in various permutations to this day. Using a technique employed by both Renaissance painters and modern-day billboard artists, he overlaid a grid on his source photograph and, over the course of four months, transposed his subject square by square to the new 9-by-7-foot canvas.5 The finished painting was arresting. The artist's rumpled, mug-shotlike visage indeed loomed from the canvas, cigarette dangling from his lips. Close recalls that the process of making this painting was extremely liberating, as his rigorous process of working only from information available in the photograph forced him to make marks and forms that were entirely new to him.6 He went on to paint a related group of eight black-and-white "heads," as he refers to them, which included portraits of fellow artists Nancy Graves, Richard Serra, and Frank Stella and composer Philip Glass. In the years that followed, he reintroduced color into his work, began to fully explore his formula in drawings and prints, and embraced Polaroid photography as another means of building an image.
Continuing the modus operandi that allowed him "to find things in the rectangle and slowly sneak up on what I want … to make it all happen in the rectangle instead of on the palette and in context,"7 Close began to explore new means of creating his images—ranging from "dot" drawings to collages of pressed and dyed paper pulp to paintings and drawings made with his own fingerprints—that began to shake up the smooth surface sheen and photographic veracity of his earlier work. By the mid-1980s, he had embraced a brilliant color palette. His grids began to be more apparent, and he had introduced marks into his system that were self-contained, allowing each square to emerge as a miniature abstraction in itself.
Beginning in 1988, Close faced new personal and artistic challenges after suffering a collapsed spinal artery that initially left him paralyzed from the neck down. Through his remarkable courage and tenacity, his condition improved, and though dependent on a wheelchair, he was able to begin painting again with a customized brace. The paintings made following this event resumed the train of thought begun with his dot drawings, but became looser and more gestural than ever before. In canvases such as Kiki (1993), the candy-colored pinks and greens, delicate lavender, acid yellow, and other unexpected combinations reveal Close as a highly intuitive colorist. The blocks of color in the painting amass across the canvas as watery pixels—resolutely abstract at close range and joltingly real as the whole is absorbed and the artificial hues begin to reveal flesh, hair, and features.
Close's work continues to evolve in surprising ways. Incorporating new techniques, from nineteenth-century daguerreotypes to twenty-first-century computer-generated Iris prints, he has remained committed to rigorous experimentation within his rigidly defined practice. Through more than thirty-five years of "isms" and art movements, Close has operated on his own continuum, one that never fails to propel his work to new places.

The Walker purchased Big Self-Portrait out of Close's studio in 1969; the $1,300 sale was the artist's first to a museum. The Walker has continued to add to its holdings of Close's work by assembling a collection of self-portrait prints that span his career. Executed in techniques ranging from etching and linoleum block to woodcuts and handmade constructions of dyed paper pulp, the self-portrait prints form a fascinating microcosm of the artist's work overall. ↩

The size of the canvas was determined by the proportions of the source photograph.

I am not trying to make facsimiles of photographs. Neither am I interested in the icon of the head as a total image. I don't want the viewer to see the whole head at once and assume that that's the most important aspect of my painting. I am not making Pop personality posters like the ones they sell in the Village. That's why I choose to do portraits of my friends – individuals that most people will not recognize. I don't want the viewer to recognize the head of Castro and think he has understood my work. Chuck Close, 1970

TDU: Stage Two
Photos: Wade Wallace
Plenty of familiar faces and some fresh ones for ride number two. One rider even joined us from Japan and plans to get his passport stamped on every stage this week. We began with a climb up Greenhill Road, one of Adelaide's most renowned ascents, and then on to Mt. Lofty. Heavy mist rolled in and within minutes the temperature had dropped from 30C to 15C. Fortunately, it wasn't long before the sun broke through and as we descended through Stirling en route to Mylor, conditions heated up again.
Arriving at Mylor, the group congregated for coffee and baguettes before watching the race loop its way three times through this beautiful country town. Thousands of fans lined the narrow roads to cheer on a solo break by Australia's Will Clarke. A short ride back to Stirling for the hilltop finish saw the crowds rewarded with an Aussie one-two-three, with Clarke holding off the chase all the way to the line. He was followed home by Michael 'Bling' Matthews and Simon 'Gerro' Gerrans, who took second and third respectively on a day that saw eight Australian riders finish in the top 20.
The highlight of the day was the breathtaking view as we rolled through Allgate Road, one of the most beautiful roads you will ever ride. It was one of several memorable moments on this ride, along with meeting an Imperial Storm Trooper walking across Australia for charity. Oh yes, and riding home with the Liquigas team after the race.

St. Katharine's Dock
St. Katharine's Docks were designed by engineer Thomas Telford to replace an area of slums, and opened on 25th October 1828 to provide a large quayside area to accomodate cargo and warehouse accessibility. The docks consisted of two basins (east and west), and were connnected to the Thames via a lock. However, due to the inability of large ships to dock there the docks were not as successful as hoped. The docks did not recover from major damage during the Second World War and closed in 1968, with the old warehouses demolished in favour of modern businesses. Today, the marina and surrounding apartments is a highly sought (and expensive) place to live!
How to get here:
Underground (District/Circle): Tower Hill - Exit the station and head south and down the steps towards the Tower of London; turn left and follow the path alongside and under the main road, then bear right and walk through to St. Katharine's Pier. +

Despite the closure of the National Mall and monuments during the partial government shutdown, immigration advocates held a rally and concert on Tuesday, and some conservatives are crying foul.
The protesters, who held the march in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, which is stalled in a stalemated Congress, are allowed to rally on the closed mall under their First Amendment rights, the National Park Service told CNN.
"Under the same First Amendment rights that are allowing Honor Flight veterans and their families to visit the veterans memorials on the National Mall, other groups will be granted access to the park for First Amendement activities," spokesman Michael Litterst said.
They were expected to be charged with "crowding, obstructing and incommoding" under Washington law, the Capitol Police told The Associated Press.
Conservative groups have voiced outrage that the rally was allowed to take place. They said there was a double standard as veterans were locked out of the World War II Memorial last week after the government shutdown.
"[T]he Democratic Administration looks immensely foolish and ham-handed in this one," Roy Beck, head of NumbersUSA, an anti-immigrant organization, said in a statement.
Republican members of Congress aided the veterans and removed the barriers to allow the veterans to enter.
The National Park Service has furloughed more than 20,000 employees around the country, including about 300 employees who work on the mall. The agency, however, says the U.S. Park Police, which is responsible for policing the event, are not affected by the shutdown and are working "at full capacity...to protect life and property."
The Camino Americano: Concert and March for Immigrant Dignity and Respect is hosted by local and national Latino groups and two major unions -- the Service Employees International Union and the AFL-CIO.

One other caveat I'd just like to throw out--I have this issue w/ youngest son (age 11) who doesn't get all the shampoo rinsed out. The dried shampoo looks *just* like dandruff (and copious amounts of it).
