As we search for top rated addiction recovery program, we fear that if we spend the time and money to get a loved one into treatment that they still may not succeed.
It is critical that when we finally decide to get help, we find alcohol rehab treatment that works.
Non 12 step programs are non-faith and non-religious in nature. Some doctors call this successful inpatient treatment "science based" rehabilitation due to the fact that it addresses the underlying issues with cognitive therapy, other one-on-one counseling and education to assist the person in changing their mind and behavior patterns.
With years of experience, let us help you quickly understand various options that will best suit your needs or that of your family.
Issues like location and availability of the best alcohol rehab; costs and success rates; length of stay for various top rated alcohol treatment options – these questions and others can be discussed in confidence at no cost.
Let us help you get top rated alcohol rehab treatment so that you can move past addiction and back to living.
It is important to understand that for the vast majority, treatment is essential to recover from a drug or alcohol addiction. Addiction is a developing deep-seeded problem, one that gets worse as time goes on. In most cases, attempting to stop an addiction without proper treatment is likely to lead to relapse and worsening substance abuse issues.
Actually no. Studies reveal that relapse after attempted treatment instill the idea that recovery is not possible and that there is no help for them. Overdose is also an increased risk after treatment due to the body's lowered tolerance of narcotics. Choosing the right option is critical.
Part of it is social and economic reasons, as well as a matter of convenience. The traditional 12 step program was the first broadly used method and was widely adopted due to its ease in application. That has simply become what most people are familiar with due to its accessibility, not workability.
Absolutely NOT. Today, there are all sorts of inpatient recovery programs available and no two are alike. It is important to understand what they will be doing to end the addiction and not just simply a resort-like location that keeps the individual from their drug of choice for a prolonged period of time. It is important that long-term changes are made to the behavior patterns and that they are given the tools needed to deal with stressors and other temptations in their life – both in and out of treatment.

Danish firm aims to improve health, environment in MozambiqueApr 4, 2013
New York/Maputo – Some 400,000 residents of Mozambique will gain access to clean, locally produced cooking fuel following a commitment by Danish company Novozymes to the Business Call to Action (BCtA).
This new venture will also save thousands of acres of forest in the south-east African country.
Novozymes is pioneering CleanStar Mozambique – an integrated food, alternative energy, and forest protection business focused on addressing the interconnected spiral of poverty, biodiversity loss, and the impact on primary health and well-being that exists across much of rural Africa.
"Novozymes' commitment to the Business Call to Action demonstrates an inclusive business model with investments that address climate change made along the entire value chain," said Sahba Sobhani, BCtA Acting Programme Manager. "It shifts consumer preferences towards a safer and healthier energy source, while addressing deforestation, food security and sustainable livelihoods."
BCtA is a global initiative supported by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and other international organizations that encourages companies to fight poverty through innovative business models.
Wood and its derivative, charcoal, remain the primary energy source for most Africans, despite growing concern about its long-term implications. The continent has already lost one-third of its forests to charcoal production.
According to the UN World Health Organization (WHO), smoke produced by cooking with charcoal and wood contributes to 2 million deaths annually worldwide as well as chronic respiratory illnesses that affect mainly women and children.
In Mozambique, 80 percent of urban households rely on charcoal for cooking. In addition to the significant health and environmental consequences of using charcoal, its rising price also creates an additional financial burden.
By 2014, CleanStar Mozambique expects to provide farmers with an income-generating alternative to charcoal production, while restoring degraded soil and improving biodiversity. The company projects this effort will save 9,000 acres of forest annually, with 2,000 low-income farmers growing a range of trees and crops on their land.
This agroforestry system will allow farmers to eventually triple their incomes by selling to the company crops they do not consume themselves. Using enzyme technology from Novozymes, CleanStar's facility will process surplus cassava into 2 million litres (530,000 gallons) of ethanol-based cooking fuel annually, which will be sold in Mozambique's capital, Maputo, along with clean cookstoves.
The company will process legumes and grains into fortified flour, animal feed, cooking oil and other packaged products to be sold domestically.
The company expects to sell 80,000 clean cookstoves tailored to local preferences and forecasts an annual reduction of 320,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas, as consumers replace charcoal fuel with ethanol.
According to the company, this safer, affordable cooking solution empowers working women from urban households to lead healthier, more productive lives.
"Sustainable biofuels have the potential not only to help solve critical energy needs but also to spark wider positive changes in developing societies," Novozymes Executive Vice President Thomas Nagy said. "We see this venture as a great example of what we call the bio-based economy—of how sustainable agriculture together with biotech solutions can meet the needs of people around the world."
Sub-Saharan urban household energy is a rapidly growing, multi-billion dollar market. Several investors have joined the venture, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Soros Economic Development Fund, and IFU, the Danish Fund for Industrializing Countries. CleanStar Mozambique aims to become profitable by 2014, providing proof-of-concept to enable scale-up and replication in other markets.
Business Call to Action is a global initiative that challenges companies to develop inclusive business models that offer the potential for development impact along with commercial success. The initiative is the result of a partnership between the Australian Agency for International Development, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, UK Department for International Development, US Agency for International Development, UN Development Programme, the UN Global Compact, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the International Business Leaders Forum to meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Companies report on progress toward commitments on an annual basis. @bctainitiative

Eurochef necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 23 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Eurochef Foods
We are a Smallgoods company that will be launching a new range of premium smoked smallgoods into the retail environment.
We are currently utilizing a logo that we had created for our catering side of the business but would like some fresh new ideas/ designs.
The new range of products will encompass our passion for creating products of the absolute highest quality. The logo will go on our current products that we will be launching in the supermarkets in a couple of months. Products being Dry cured bacon, and dry cured flavored bacon, as well as a variety of flavored smoked sausages.
Our target audience are those people with a higher level of income, those who are educated when it comes to food ingredients and know how to read the ingredients in a product. Baby boomers who have a decent amount of capital to retire with and are conscious and willing to spend money on a top end product rather than commodity. Also the younger generation (22- 35) with a certain amount of disposable income that can appreciate a premium product and like the fashion of a niche product.
We feel our current logo is too old fashioned. We are premium, we make things the old fashioned way but we are not old fashioned.
We would like all your fresh ideas.
The logo will firstly be going on a black background, we will attach a label to demonstrate what we will be using, minus the current logo.
We are thinking for the black background the logo will need to be in gold.
The logo will also need to go on the back of the label. The back of the label will have a gold background, so the logo will need to be in black.
The logo will also end up on our new website once finished. So it may end up in different colors on this.
Although we would like some of the logo to include some gold, as we like the gold on black look for premium, if you feel it would look good adding other colors, please feel free to offer up any of your ideas. We are really looking forward to seeing them.
We do not want the logo to be too intricate, too fussy, have too much going on. We would like something rather simple, eye catching and that embodies our new range of products.
Although our new products are all Smallgoods, in the future we will be adding other items that are not smallgoods (eg.premium soups, stews),
so we do not want a logo that looks like it belongs to a Smallgoods producer, rather that belongs to a high end food manufacturer.
We don't want the use of the Euro symbol(€) or olympic rings

ShowBiz CRM
We are a software start-up, founded by two full-time, working magicians with a shared vision for enabling talented performers and artists to make a better living performing their craft.
Our flagship product is a highly custom CRM solution that integrates seamlessly with other business tools and lead sources and automates the entire business process.
Our product enables the sole proprietor who has spent decades on the "show" but not the "business" to enjoy the success they deserve.
Magicians, Variety artists, Musicians, fire spinners, jugglers, talent agencies.
We have had to rebrand. Same product, new name: ShowBiz CRM.
As we wind the contest down, please consider submitting variations of your work. In particular, we'd like to see more work of two kinds: non-cartoon styled lightning (rather, realistic lightning) and the theme of the spotlight. Thank you all for your submissions. We are stunned at the quality of these many efforts - Michael & Kevin
Cliches are to be avoided (rabbits, top hats, etc) as they have little to no appeal to magicians (unless you have an extremely creative idea).
Ideally we would like something that fits with our existing marketing collateral (we're currently building out this template: http://www.templatemonster.com/webs…ml?tab=788
We want to come across as professional (our product is world-class and light years ahead of the competition which tend to be amateur access/filemaker pro databases) we have the bells and whistles for the power user, but we are also accessible to the computer semi-illiterate.
We have been brainstorming tag lines and like the following:
The Business of Entertainment
Less Paperwork - More Gigs
Work Less - Perform More
Use any of the above in your concept.
We would also love a business card concept with the logo (but not strictly necessary)

Koreatown Italian: All'Angolo
Koreatown is a great place to live, culinarily speaking. We've got hundreds of Korean choices, dozens of Central American restaurants, a good handful of Oaxacan spots, and we're just a short jaunt from Thaitown and Little Armenia. What we don't have, though, is great Italian. There's La Buca a bit to the north, but it's gotten pretty expensive since the old days when it was a cramped, hole in the wall. Now, I'm happy to report, we have another choice.
All'Angolo Pizza and Pasta is a small restaurant squeezed into a Third Street strip mall between a Baskin Robbins and a liquor store (no dusties, I checked).
Despite its primacy in the name, ignore the pizza, it's served on a soft, sort of pita bread like crust that's not at all crispy. The thing to get here is the pasta.
The pasta at All'Angolo is all made to order, fresh, perfectly cook and tastes handmade (I don't know if they actually make it in-house or not); I've tried a variety since the spot opened last fall, and they've all been great. The highlight for me is the strozzapreti alla trentina (pictured above). Strozzapreti is a short, twisted pasta; it's served in a cream sauce with prosciutto and radicchio. The combination of the meat, the slightly bitter lettuce and the cream in every bite of toothsome, hand rolled pasta is one of those perfectly balanced bites.
I also enjoyed the special of tortellini with sage and butter sauce which featured a rich, ground veal stuffing (pictured above). Even the spaghetti with meatballs, which I order for my daughter is impressive, featuring a somewhat thicker than usual spaghetti, cooked to a perfect al dente, and a rich, tomato-cream sauce...it's all I can do not to eat it right off of her plate.
Desserts are also quite good. The panna cotta was silky smooth without being overly gelatinous and the custard tart, infused with just a touch of booze (maybe marsala) is rich and creamy.
I love my neighborhood's great Asian and Latin American options, but now Koreatown has great pasta too!

Sku, with all your enthusiasm, I think you must like Italian more than a nice dram of Pappy 15:). Regardless, thanks for the tip about a new place to try whilst in LA. (BTW, I'm in the hinterland of Long Beach).

I'm totally looking for that tortellini special which wasn't on the board during the last visit.
Have seen them make their raviolis on the spot, so those are definitely in-house. Has to be better than the milanesa special.
The chickie really enjoyed the spaghetti meatballs as well. The tomato/cream sauce was a bit of a surprise. And to think: nearly all the pasta dishes are ~$10!

Nicknamed "The City of Big Shoulders," Chicago sets the bar pre y high.But with its strollable neighborhoods, sunny lakefront parks and thriving food scene, America's third-largest city more than carries the load
Author Layla Schlack Photography Bob Stefko
CHICAGO'S A TOWN OF MANY MONIKERS — Windy City, City of Big Shoulders, Second City and, as poet Carl Sandburg wrote, "hog butcher for the world." While each speaks to the city's history as an industrial powerhouse led by fast-talking politicos, none of these nicknames does justice to Chi-town's cleanness, greenness or top-notch culinary scene. Exploring the patchwork of neighborhoods and expansive outdoor spaces will give you a sense of the city's past, present and future. It's an understated—and quintessentially American—megalopolis, where Midwestern hospitality meets big-city worldliness. Spend a few days wandering around and you won't just want to stay longer—you'll probably want to move here.
On my first visit to Chicago, I did spend a few days there and you were right! I wanted to MOVE there. I have since been back more than 20 times and each time is a new adventure. I love it there!
love it good to know while I visit chicago

Microsoft Patches Stuxnet Vulnerability
Microsoft released 16 security bulletins today as part of a massive Patch Tuesday update.
The record-breaking update includes fixes for 49 security vulnerabilities affecting Windows, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office and the .NET Framework. Mixed in with the fixes is a patch for one of the zero-day vulnerabilities used by the Stuxnet worm. According to Symantec's Joshua Talbot, Stuxnet--which targets industrial control systems--exploited a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Windows kernel-mode drivers.
"Stuxnet uses the Win32 Keyboard Layout Vulnerability to gain administrator privileges on infected computer systems," explained Talbot, security intelligence manager for Symantec Security Response. "This functionality ensures that none of the threat's malicious actions get blocked on targeted systems due to lack of permission."
The patch means there is still one zero-day used by the malware that remains open. However, the most urgent patches released today are unrelated to Stuxnet, some said.
For more, read the eWeek article Microsoft Patches Stuxnet Vulnerability in Massive Security Update.

Pats winning 14-6 right now going with 51 seconds left before halftime. Here't to the pats bringing down the Bungals !!!
Im not worried about the ratbirds, we play them twice this year and they'll lose more than a couple games besides that. They are coming into a tough stretch of their schedule with Denver, Carolina, New Orleans, Cincinnati, the Falcons, and us coming up. Besides the ratbird offense looked pathetic again this week. They haven't shown anything at all this year long, Steve McNair was once again average at best. The chargers had that game won but had 2 missed FG's that would have won them the game.
We'll have the ratbirds right where we want them on Christmas eve at Heinz Field so we'll dispatch them from our path when we play them. Remember divisional records are crucial for the playoff race and we play the majority of our divisional games in november and december !

How can Brady not pull out a win for us, he has Hank Poteat and Chad Scott in the secondary.
Peace & Yours in Black 'N Gold,
Many thanks to BR7 (Ron) for the sig and matching avatar
Yeah's there's a winning combination !!
The Pats completely dismantled the bengals today, the last I saw it was 38-13 and the network pulled the game off the air. This is one of the few tiems I was pulling for the patsies!
The Ravens got the W so they are now 4-0. I'm not too concerned about them because the Steelers play them twice still and as long as the Steelers can walk away with victories in those games then the Steelers are in good shape and will gain 2 games on the Ravens!
The bengals losing today really helped out cause. We exposed their run defense and lack of consistent protection their OL gives Palmer. The Pats took it too em today in a big way !! This brings them back down to earth.
We'll take care of the ratbirds as will other teams. Their offense is too inept to allow them to do anything. Their defense spends all day on the field and they'll wear out over the season.
Afte seeing part of the Bengals today their weaknesses have been really exposed now. The Steelers showed a glimpse of something and the Pats confimred today that their run defense flat out sucks! I think it's a matter of time before the bengals really start to slide.
Bellichek is a mastermind defensive guy. If you have any weakness at all, he'll find it.
When they came into Heinz and beat us a few years back, the players talked about watching film on us from 4 years ago to find out something to use against us !
I agree there are still keep in mind 13 games left for us and as you said we have the Ravens twice late in the year which will give of an opportunity to catch them if there a game in front of us or tied by beating them head to head. And as you said they face a very tough stretch coming up here having to go to Denver next Monday night which is a game I think they will lose for sure,and then coming back 6 days later to face Carolina will not be an easy task as well. I agree SD should have beat them today, but in typical Marty ball fashion got way too conservative late and he ended up paying for it in the end. I do believe that if the Steelers win that game in SD it will get them on a roll and they will be right back in the thick of things here in the AFC North. The Steelers as far as Im concerned have 4 automatic wins still left on the schedule 2 with the Browns,Tampa,and the Raiders. I do think if we beat SD we most definitely beat the Chiefs here and then go down to Atlanta and win as well before beating Oakland. Its way too early to give up or write this team off there are too many games left and too many different scanerios with the Ravens and Bengals that still have to be played out as far as who they play and when.

Separation anxiety disorder is a psychological condition in which an individual experiences excessive separation anxiety regarding separation from home or from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment (like a father and mother). IT becomes a disorder when the separation reaction becomes strong enough to impair peoples ability to conduct their day to day lives and relationships.
Background Edit
Present in all age groups, adult separation anxiety disorder (affecting roughly 7% of adults) is more common than childhood separation anxiety disorder (affecting approximately 4% of children). Seperation Anxiety can also occur in dogs like the Dachshund which can lead to chewing for relieving stress.[1][2] Separation anxiety disorder is often characterized by some of the following symptoms:
- Recurring distress when separated from the subject of attachment (such as significant other, the father or the mother, or home)
- Persistent, excessive worrying about losing the subject of attachment
- Persistent, excessive worrying that some event will lead to separation from a major attachment
- Excessive fear about being alone without subject of attachment
- Persistent reluctance or refusal to go to sleep without being near a major attachment figure, like a significant other or mother
- Recurrent nightmares about separation
Often, separation anxiety disorder is a symptom of a co-morbid condition. Studies show that children suffering from separation anxiety disorder are much more likely to have ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and other disorders later in life.[3]
Separation Anxiety Disorder versus Separation AnxietyEdit
Separation Anxiety Disorder should not be confused with Separation Anxiety, which occurs as "a normal stage of development for healthy, secure babies."[4] Separation anxiety occurs as babies begin to understand their own selfhood—or understand that they are a separate person from their primary caregiver. At the same time, the concept of object permanence emerges—which is when children learn that something still exists when it is not seen or heard. As babies begin to understand that they can be separated from their primary caregiver, they do not understand that their caregiver will return, nor do they have a concept of time. This, in turn, causes a normal and healthy anxious reaction. Separation anxiety typically onsets around 8 months of age and increases until 13-15 months, when it begins to decline[5].

In the end, though, he confessed it was more a case of weekend warrior-itis that involved a misstep while trying to slap a puck.

184.108.40.206 Precipitation and convection
Increased intensity of precipitation events in a future climate with increased greenhouse gases was one of the earliest model results regarding precipitation extremes, and remains a consistent result in a number of regions with improved, more detailed models (Hennessy et al., 1997; Kothavala, 1997; Durman et al., 2001; Yonetani and Gordon, 2001). There have been questions regarding the relatively coarse spatial scale resolution in climate models being able to represent essentially mesoscale and smaller precipitation processes. However, the increase in the ability of the atmosphere to hold more moisture, as well as associated increased radiative cooling of the upper troposphere that contributes to destabilisation of the atmosphere in some models, is physically consistent with increases in precipitation and, potentially, with increases in precipitation rate.
As with other changes, it is recognised that changes in precipitation intensity have a geographical dependence. For example, Bhaskharan and Mitchell (1998) note that the range of precipitation intensity over the south Asian monsoon region broadens in a future climate experiment with increased greenhouse gases, with decreases prevalent in the west and increases more widespread in the east (see further discussion in Chapter 10). Another model experiment (Brinkop, 2001) shows that extreme values of the convective rain rate and the maximum convective height occur more frequently during the 2071 to 2080 period than during the 1981 to 1990 period. The frequency of highest-reaching convective events increases, and the same holds for events with low cloud-top heights. In contrast, the frequency of events with moderate-top heights decreases. On days when it rains, the frequency of the daily rates of convective rainfall larger than 40 mm/day in JJA and greater than 50 mm/day for DJF, increases. Generally, one finds a strong increase in the rain rate per convective event over most of the land areas on the summer hemispheres and in the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Between 10 and 30°S there are decreases in rain rate per event over the ocean and parts of the continents.
In global simulations for future climate, the percentage increase in extreme (high) rainfall is greater than the percentage increase in mean rainfall (Kharin and Zwiers, 2000). The return period of extreme precipitation events is shortened almost everywhere (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998). For example, they show that over North America the 20-year return periods are reduced by a factor of 2 indicating that extreme precipitation of that order occurs twice as often.
Another long-standing model result related to drought (a reduction in soil moisture and general drying of the mid-continental areas during summer with increasing CO2) has been reproduced with the latest generation of global coupled climate models (Gregory et al., 1997; Haywood et al., 1997; Kothavala, 1999; Wetherald and Manabe, 1999). This summer drying is generally ascribed to a combination of increased temperature and potential evaporation not being balanced by precipitation. To address this problem more quantitatively, a global climate model with increased CO2 was analysed to show large increases in frequency of low summer precipitation, the probability of dry soil, and the occurrence of long dry spells (Gregory et al., 1997). The latter was ascribed to the reduction of rainfall events in the model rather than to decreases in mean precipitation. However, the magnitude of this summer drying response may be related to the model's simulation of net solar radiation at the surface, and more accurate simulation of surface fluxes over land will increase confidence in the GCM climate changes.
Alhough of great importance to society for their potential for causing destruction, as well as their human and economic impacts, there is little guidance from AOGCMs concerning the future behaviour of tornadoes, hail or lightning. This is because these phenomena are not explicitly resolved in AOGCMs, and any studies that have been done have had to rely on empirical relationships between model features and the phenomenon of interest. For example, Price and Rind (1994a) derive a relationship between lightning activity and convective cloud-top height to infer an increase of lightning with increasing CO2. They take that relationship one step further to suggest a future increase in lightning-caused fires due to the increased lightning activity and decreased effective precipitation (Price and Rind, 1994b). Using another empirical relationship between daily minimum temperature and severe convective storm frequency for France, Dessens (1995) connects an increase in daily minimum temperature with greater convective storm frequency and more hail damage in a future climate with increased CO2. However, there have been no recent studies examining this problem with the current generation of global climate models. Due to the fact that these severe weather phenomena are sub-grid scale (even more so than discussed below for tropical cyclones), and that second and third order linkages between model output and empirical relationships for limited regions must be used to derive results, we cannot reach any definitive conclusions concerning possible future increases in hail and lightning, and there is no information from AOGCMs concerning future changes in tornado activity.

We don't understand the point. Since in-ear headphones already cancel outside noise by design, some of the technology here is doing double duty. Still, we guess it's some kind of statement of mind-blowing, macho technology, so like... "sweet." See a full product pic after the jump. [Audio-Technica]

In the year 2000, when MP3.com launched a service that allowed people to stream their own music from "the cloud" by authenticating it with a CD, the labels sued. Apparently, ownership of a CD didn't prove ownership of the songs thereon.
And so for the following decade, music lockers like Amazon Cloud Drive, MP3Tunes, Music Beta by Google, and mSpot asked users to upload their actual music files to their lockers, creating their own "DIY (do it yourself) cloud" music services, so to speak.
The problem with this for the music industry, the way we see it, is that the DIY cloud reinforces old behaviors: pirating music files rather than streaming them from legal services like YouTube or Spotify or, once in a blue moon, actually buying songs piecemeal from iTunes or another download store — usually when a well-intentioned relative gives you an iTunes gift certificate (thus iTunes' annual sales spike in January, but that's another story).
Now, for an advance of $100 million or so, Apple has paid for the right to do what MP3.com was trying to do, but without requiring people to prove that they bought a CD or any music at all, for that matter. For about $2 per month, you'll be able to launch your own DIY cloud service that works with iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, and any Mac or PC running iTunes. And if your music is pirated, so be it — Apple has offered you "parley" anyway (to borrow a phrase from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise).
Granted, for some reason, Apple doesn't let you stream these files the way all other cloud music services we've seen do. Instead, you have to download them to devices before playing them. (Apple claims iCloud music will play "anytime," but fails to mention that you might have to wait for the songs to download before they play.)
Regardless of this streaming/downloading distinction, what Apple has done here is fascinating — not because it offers something new, but because it locks us in to the same model of administering our own music collections. And by extension, it reinforces the practice of downloading music without paying for it. Apple's iTunes Match encourages piracy far more than MP3.com's my.mp3.com CD-mirroring service ever did, and that service was sued out of existence for infringing copyright.
Berklee College of Music vice president and author David Kusek sees this development as a good thing, because it helps music be more "like water" — and legitimizes/monetizes piracy, which is how we behave anyway in the digital age.
As I outlined in Forbes, with hundreds of millions of people connected to digital networks, the potential annual revenue stream for this is enormous. At $25 per person, if 200 million people opted in for iTunes Match, the service would gross $5 billion a year just for the ability to provide access to any song on any device, and let you pirate all the music you want to at will. Add to that the money from new songs you purchase, premium access, increased storage, exclusive concerts and the recording industry may see a bottom to its revenue decline, and could begin to rebuild from there. Seem counter intuitive? The record business will never be the same again, but maybe (just maybe) it will not go extinct.
Industry critic Bob Lefsetz sees it another way.
How can you get everybody to buy a mobile subscription? We can debate that all day long, but it's become almost irrelevant. Because today, Apple killed subscription [we wouldn't go that far, but Bob often does].
Yes, iCloud scan and match is subscription. But the concept of renting your music, like you rent cable TV, that's kaput. And what did it cost? $150 million. For approximately $40 million to the bottom line of each recording company, you know they're not going to share the revenue with artists, the labels sold out their future.
It's like Nintendo being paid a bunch of money to never develop the Wii. It's like Electronic Arts being paid to never develop mobile games. It's a denial of the future. Who in the hell is going to buy a music subscription for even $3 a month when for $25 a year you can have everything you own, even stole, at your fingertips via iCloud[?]
DIY music services are like a pressure valve that gets activated when unlimited music subscriptions are too expensive to attract sufficient customers. Like Amazon and Google, a DIY cloud music provider can decide to stop negotiating and simply choose not to offer an unlimited subscription, or even a "scan and match" feature, and just roll out a hard-drive-in-the-cloud-style music service for free, without paying artists, publishers, or labels.
Apple's iCloud music service goes halfway there, by paying at least some of the labels (if not artists) for the right to offer a scan-and-match feature, saving music fans lots of time. But it leaves unfulfilled the possibility of convincing people to pay a monthly fee for all the music in the world, whether they've bothered to pirate it yet or not.

"My Son"
There comes a time;
When we must speak the truth,
My son is incarcerated
And has been abused.
Forced to plead guilty,
Over the phone he cried;
Mom I'm sorry,
I'm sorry; I tried.
I know you know what's best,
That's why I wanted to talk to you first,
But the judge and lawyer wouldn't allow this;
They said it would be worst.
My son;
He IS my best friend,
A Good hearted soul,
And everyone loved him.
My only son;
Incarcerated since 2002,
As a single parent
What would you do?
My son,
Now serving twenty years to life,
Accused of stealing forty four dollar batteries;
Being over charged more than twice.
The lawyer retained,
Didn't defend;
Investigated then disbarred,
My son suffered in the end.
His grandmother is eighty eight years old
And can't take care of herself,
My son was her provider,
He helped nurse her to health.
My son, my son,
I am alone,
My one and only son;
I need him home!

Visas and Entry Requirements
Please note that visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. For the most up to date information please check your Governments Foreign Ministry website or with your travel agent as rules do change.
VIETNAM – If you require a visa for Vietnam, they need to be arranged ahead of time (BEFORE your trip) as the processing time varies and they are not available upon arrival.
As of March 2017, a select 40 nationalities are now eligible to enter Vietnam with an E-Visa. Please contact your Foreign Ministry or Vietnamese consulate to see if your nationality is eligible. Please note that you should ONLY apply for a Vietnam E-Visa if you are entering Vietnam by international airport – either Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) or Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City).
If you are entering Vietnam by land border, please apply for a regular visa for Vietnam. Many of the land borders we travel through do not accept the Vietnam E-Visa.
Please note that while MOST countries require a Visa ahead of time for Vietnam, certain countries may be allowed entrance for 15 days with proof of exit. As of July 1st, 2015 this will include citizens of Scandinavian countries, Japan, Russia, the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy. However, we STRONGLY recommend checking with your Embassy on the requirements as these change often. Please contact your Foreign Ministry for up to date entry/exit requirements. Your sales agent can assist with departure documentation from Vietnam once we are within 30 days from departure.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
During this tour the local currency you will use is the Vietnamese Dong. As currency exchange rates in South East Asia do fluctuate, we ask that you refer to the following website for the most up to date daily exchange rates: www.xe.com for each of the above mentioned currencies. The best way to carry your money is in debit cards, withdrawing cash in local currencies from ATM machines. ATMs are found throughout South East Asia and will generally accept cards on the Visa and Mastercard networks. It is a great idea to travel with both a Visa and Mastercard if at all possible in case of loss or problems with one card, you will have a back up. Please note, your bank will charge a fee for overseas withdrawals. USD Cash is recommended for times when ATMs are not accessible. You should bring some cash with you for emergency situations (please refer to our trip dossier) but carrying only cash is a high safety risk. ATM card/s and some cash is the ideal mix. Travellers cheques can be tricky, timely and expensive to exchange. While we do not recommend that you bring them as your primary source of funds, it is great to have one or two cheques in case of emergency. Thomas Cook or American Express travellers' cheques in US currency are the easiest to exchange. Cash advances can also be made with some banks but are time consuming and tend to have high fees attached.Credit cards can be used at some upmarket restaurants, and at some larger stores if shopping for big items. If you are bringing US Dollars, please make sure that the notes are new and in good condition. Notes older than 2003, or with any tears or blemishes may not be accepted. Be fussy with your bank when buying cash!
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Departure Tax
Departure Tax is included in all International and Domestic tickets in China, Thailand & Vietnam.
Local tipping is included on this Family trip which covers local guides, drivers and gratuity for included meals. At the end of your trip if you felt your two Chief Experience Officers did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline; per CEO $5-$10 USD per person, per day can be used.
Optional Activities
- Bicycle Rental (5-10USD per person)
Hoi An
- Lantern Making Experience (10USD per person)
- Sunset Boat Ride On River (5USD per person, 20USD per group)

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical information pertaining to the country you are traveling to well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as a full supply of any personal medical requirements. In Asia, you will not find the same drugs as you get at home. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities. Also note that for legal reasons our Leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip specific information. For travelers over 70 years a completed Medical Form is required. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if, in the reasonable opinion of the CEO, they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
Trip Specific Safety
Be aware that petty theft can be an issue in some Vietnamese towns and cities especially late at night. A common tactic is opportunists on motorbikes that drive by and snatch bags. Please always leave valuables and passports etc in your hotel, in safety boxes if available, and only carry with you enough cash to spend for the day. Bags should always be carried over the neck and not left to sit on your shoulder.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Local Dress
When packing be aware that dress standards are conservative throughout Asia. To respect this and for your own comfort, we strongly recommend modest clothing. This means covering shoulders and no very short shorts. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot Asian climate. Shorts should be knee-length.

Judi Smith
"I'm Judi Smith. A self taught clay artist with an insatiable desire to learn, share and experiment along a clay art journey.
It started 20 years when a friend offered me a handful of clay and told me to go away and make something. Faces and figures were the first interest. Distractions of other forms came and went but I have returned to the beginning with the addition of the joojoo range.
For intense firing excitement, I love to raku.
For sculptural work I use an electric kiln.
You're invited to view Cup Cakes and Chocolate to learn a bit about me and Fired Up to learn about what inspires me about clay, and some stories and images from exhibitions and conferences I have been involved with.
The Clay Art Gallery of past and present clay artworks is under construction, but in this section you can see what I am currently working on, and some of the inspirations behind them.
Also check out the Clayzee Magazine, a place where I can share some of the interesting bits and bobs from the world of clay.
"What I am is but a collection of where I have been and what I have experienced.
What I am now is not what I was then. I am recreating me in the moment as you are too – collecting experiences that will reflect who 'I am' tomorrow.""

1 medium head escarole, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 cups diced cooked turkey breast
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 cups large-cubed French bread
1 large clove garlic, halved
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the bread and saute until browned on all sides. Remove the bread cubes to a paper-towel lined plate. Allow to cool slightly then rub the cut side of the garlic clove on the cubes. Set aside.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Toss with the escarole in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss again. Divide into 2 bowls and serve immediately.
I used one leftover demi baguette for the croutons.
Escarole can be kind of sandy so take care to rinse thoroughly and use a salad spinner.
I sliced my egg with an egg slicer then rotated the egg and sliced it again to form uniform strips.
Keep an eye on those bread cubes! Using the pan is easier than baking them (I think) but they can go from golden to brunt quickly.
My thoughts:
Another Thanksgiving, another set of leftovers recipes! I've already posted two this year but I made a couple more that I really wanted to share. This salad was too delish not to add to the list. It is a great way to use up some odds and ends you might have from other parts of the meal; eggs, turkey and bread in a way that tastes nothing like Thanksgiving.
Escarole is a awesome alternative to lettuce during the colder months, it is full flavored but not bitter and really at its peak in right now. The dressing was possibly my most favorite dressing to date. It was the definition of umami; not too pungent but full flavored, intensely savory (but not fishy) and thick enough it coated every leaf. The croutons were crunchy but not brittle thanks to the skillet technique and had just the tiniest kiss of garlic that actually contributed a lot to the flavor of the salad. Every bite was just lovely. I'm not the biggest "salad as a meal" fan but I was truly sad to reach the bottom of my (giant) bowl with this one. I can't wait to make it again!

The Sacking of Lawrence, May 21, 1856 – 4
The actual number of free-state settlers that made it to Kansas was far more modest than the expectations set in the press but the perception was in the public psyche.
When the Kansas Territory's first governor, Andrew Reeder, called for elections of the Kansas Territorial Legislature on March 30, 1855, pro-slavery Missourians crossed the border in droves and took advantage of a poorly conceived suffrage law that required little to no proof of residency to vote. The government they elected was widely recognized as bogus but Reeder let the election stand and President Franklin Pierce endorsed it. The new government created exceptionally pro-slavery laws, some verging on the absurd. Free-state men revolted by setting up their own shadow government in Topeka claiming that its laws and elected officials would become legitimate once statehood was achieved. This exacerbated further the rift between the two factions and opened the door for the Lecompton government to take legal action against the free-soil men, indeed eventually accusing some of treason.
"If one government was valid, the other was spurious, either morally or legally, as the case might be. If the acts of one were binding upon the citizens, then submission to the authority of the other by, for instance, paying its taxes or serving in its militia would constitute sedition, or even treason." (i)
Polarization of the factions increased.
