The French billionaire François Pinault has appointed Caroline Bourgeois as the curator of this exhibition, which was conceived to coincide with the exhibition In Praise of Doubt at Punta della Dogana, and presents another re-assessment of the traditional limits of the geography of art, and how we relate to others and the world.
Their common denominator is art. Their distinguishing factor is belonging to Venice's most famous European collection. If the Biennial, which upholds the Lagoon City as the capital of contemporary art, is in a full vortex of preparations, at the Pinault Foundation, too, people are working round the clock.
The new venue of Punta della Dogana will be closed during March to allow the mounting of a new exhibition curated by Caroline Bourgeois, "Praise of the doubt". The official opening date will be April 10, 2011.
On Thursday October 28th 2010 at Palazzo Grassi at 5pm

Facebook needs to get better at cracking down on hate speech against migrants, says founder Mark Zuckerberg.
He identified them as a group that needed protection on the social network during a public "town hall" session in Berlin.
About 1000 young people were invited, many of them students.
Germany's history with the Nazi party means there are strict laws around the protection of minorities.
Facebook has faced criticism in Germany for failing to police anti-immigration posts.
Their ministry of justice has said the social network acts quicker to remove sexual imagery than it does racist messages.
It was reported in January that German authorities were working on a deal with Facebook, Google and Twitter to make sure the law took priority over company policy.
When asked to clarify Facebook's position directly, Zuckerberg said: "There's not a place for this kind of content on Facebook. Learning more about German culture and law has led us to change the approach," he said.
He did not specify how he would stop this sort of material, but added: "Hate speech against migrants is an important part of what we now have no tolerance for on Facebook."

The first post on a new blog is always the most awkward, so I have decided to get it out of the way so I can get on with blogging properly!
My name is Kyra, and my aim for this blog is to write about my journey through fiction writing. From the moment I learned how to write, I walked around with a pen and paper in my hand, but this is my first serious attempt at finishing a book, and trying to get published.
With every post, I hope you'll get to know a little bit more about me and what I do. I am looking forward to engaging with other writers and readers, and learning and sharing things along the way!
I know this was a terribly dull entry, I hope you don't hold it against me lol!
Thanks for stopping by!
Kyra :)

Ah, good old GORGOROTH...they keep on pluggin' along no matter the weather or musical climate, and won't adhere to anyone but themselves and their fans. You gotta respect that mentality; very few bands can do so and still sound competent and great. And now, with news of King ov Hell's trademark scenario thrown to the wolves, I felt the urge to give the "ROTH more of my reviewing prowess. So let's start from the beginning...
At this time in GORGOROTH's career, they were a seriously fledgling act who hadn't really established both themselves or their take on black metal (that would come later in their masterpiece "Under the Sign of Hell") So as it stands, this is really little more than a group of well-meaning kids blasting their blasphemous hearts out, with influences shown oh-so-clearly on their sleeves; a little MAYHEM here, a little old BATHORY there, and a big helping of old-to-mid-era DARKTHRONE topping it all off. The riff-work is top notch evilness, chaotic and with a touch of melody to keep it from being the static-y dissonence most BM bands at the time seemed to find awesome. The guitars are clear and sharp, the bass audible and thumping along nicely, and the drums powerful and tight. But then you get to the vocals...man oh man is this strange. They're not the worse vocals I've heard in either black metal or any other genre, they're just odd. Easily not the BM norm in terms of rasping, instead it comes off like an evil parrot from an old cartoon, rendering the lyrics completely indecipherable (nowadays a common practice for GORGOROTH), and the lack of lyrics printed (another practice) leaves you mainly focusing on the music, with songs ranging from killer to decent ("Crushing the Scepter", "Katharinas Bortgang", and "(Under) the Pagan Megalith" being prime cuts of musical evil).
So in the end this is a nice, decent release...but the band wouldn't start kicking serious ass until the next couple albums. Still, it's a worthy addition to anyone's black metal collection.

When my wife and I take road trips, we love to explore. We know where our final destination is each day but we love to travel down the unknown and find what is needing to be found. This photo was taken in Gloucester, MA and is part of an old castle by the ocean.
Where do these steps lead?
What is around the next turn?
I'm feeling very on edge at this moment as I wait for a phone call to tell me that my paintings have been found. Sure there is insurance on them, and I would be paid for them if they are lost, but what about my New York debut? The final painting called "Amazing Grace" was just finished for NY and the three of them fit together like a beautiful symphony. I have a lot of available paintings, here, and seven in Laguna, but these three were it.
God in His all knowing power sees where they sit, probably safely on a truck to NY, but I can only wait upon Him to see me through this step to the unknown. All of this is happening so fast - from nowhere to Laguna and now New York, 2009 has been one year leaving me in a state of AWE!!!

The Day of the Dead, is a celebration that represents the unity between life and death. It emphasizes death as part of the cycle of life and was borne from the merging of the Catholic feast of All Soul's Day (a day to remember the dead with prayer) and with Indian rituals of death.
The celebration of Día de Muertos (Hanal Pixán in Mayan language) coincides with indigenous celebrations and the catholic celebrations of All Saints Day (Nov 1st) and All Souls Day (Nov 2nd ). On October 31st relatives clean and decorate the altars (at the Grave Site) in anticipation of the honoured guests: deceased family's souls. This festivity mark a very special occasion when the living have an opportunity to show respect for their departed loved ones, whose spirits are expected to return to their homes.
also decorate an altar at the house. With the deceased's photograph, favourite food, alcoholic beverage,
cigarettes, chocolate and other goods. For
deceased children, simple toys are included so the child's spirit
has fun while he/she visits the family.
The beginning of the Christmas festivities is marked with Las Posadas, nine consecutive days of candlelight processions and lively parties starting December 16th.
gather to re-enact the holy family's quest for lodging in Bethlehem. The
procession is headed by a small plaster Virgin Mary and San José.
They are followed by other children portraying angels, the Three
kings and pastores (shepherds).
The breaking of a piñata is a rigorous part of this celebration.
Buena is the culmination of the Holiday festivities with the celebration
of a midnight mass (Misa de Gallo). Afterwards, families head home for a traditional Christmas
supper, which may feature regional
dishes. Depending on the
economic status of the family, the
feast might include bacalao a la vizcaína (Biscayan cod) and romeritos
(wild greens in mole sauce). Roast
turkey, ham or suckling pig are other popular menu items.
The evening is rounded out with the opening of gifts and for the
children, piñatas and luces de Belén (sparklers).
These happy family gatherings generally last until dusk and for
this reason December 25th is set aside as a day to rest and
enjoy leftovers.
which is called Dia de los Reyes (Three Kings Day) portrays the arrival
in Bethlehem of the Wise Men carying gifts for the baby Jesus.
Children all over Mexico, anxiously await waking up January 6th
to find toys and gifts.
special treat served on this day is the Rosca de Reyes (a crown-shaped
sweet bread decorated with jewel-like candied fruits) Tiny plastic figures of babies are hidden in the dough before
baking. There is much excitement
as each partaker cuts his or her own slice, for whoever gets a piece containing
a baby is obligated to host another party on or before Candlemas, February
2, when Mexico's holiday season finally comes to an end.
Santa is Mexico's second most important holiday season of the year, behind
only Christmas, and runs from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. In addition
to attending Mass on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, many Mexicans will
also take advantage of the holiday to go on vacation. If you're planning
to visit Mexico during Semana Santa, make sure you checked on availability
in advance.
Santa, or Holy Week, celebrates the Christian holiday of Easter. Mexico
is nearly 90 percent Catholic, so this religious holiday takes on a special
meaning that the entire community shares and participates in. Live representations
of the Jesus Christ's Crucifixion take place in many little towns.
It is like a live play where people from the town assume the roles
of Jesus, Virgin Mary, St. Peter, St. John and many other characters.
The origination for Cinco De Mayo, The Fifth Of May, commemorates the defeat of the French army by the Mexicans at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, but is also celebrated in other parts of the country and in U.S. Cities with a significant Mexican population.
battle at Puebla in 1862 happened at a violent and chaotic time in Mexico's
history. Mexico had finally gained independence from Spain in 1810, and
a number of internal political takeovers and wars, including the Mexican-American
War and the Mexican Civil War of 1858, had completely wiped out the national
economy. The victory of the
battle at Puebla gave the people pride on their Country and the spirit
of freedom.
is an official Mexican holiday that kicks off a five-day celebration
of the libido before the Catholic lent. Beginning the weekend before Lent,
Carnaval is celebrated exuberantly with parades, floats, costumes, music
and dancing in the streets.
festival of Carnaval is celebrated as a last indulgence of carnal pleasures
that Catholics must give up for 40 days of fasting during Lent, from Ash
Wednesday to Easter Sunday. In fact, the word Carnaval is derived from
Latin, meaning take away or goodbye to flesh, and strict Catholics will
give up meat eating during Lent.
is officially celebrated for 5 days, leading up to Ash Wednesday, with
the most vigorous celebration taking place over the one weekend in Mexico.
The wearing of masks during Carnaval is said to be a pagan practice as
protection from evil spirits, but most likely evolved as a way to participate
fully in the celebration with some anonymity.
Independence Day is celebrated on September 16. It commemorates the beginning
of Mexico's struggle for independence from Spain, which began on the 16th
of September in 1810. Known as Dieciseis de Septiembre, it's often confused
by Americans with Cinco de Mayo (which celebrates the victory at the Battle
of Puebla). In every town,
small and large, el día de Independencia is celebrated with "El Grito
de Independencia" (Independence shout) in which many Mexicans gather in
the main square of the town at midnight to shout many "Viva México" to
commemorate the shout made by Miguel Hidalgo on the original Independence
In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 469 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.
Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, have been a very important part of all Mexican's lives. She is the patron of all Catholics in México who worship her truly.
Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th with
a mass celebrated with a Mariachi band.

I'll be honest, I just wanted a fresh take on my morning cup of coffee this morning.
I didn't want it piled high with whipped cream, dripping in chocolate sauce or caramel syrup. But I didn't want just a cup of joe with cream. I can do that anytime. So, I went to my trusty Pinterest and did a search on 'coffee drinks'.
I scrolled and scrolled, same old, same old,…then suddenly I came across 'Butter Coffee'. Wha-at? I read through the Someday I'll Learn post, and was totally intrigued. Sure, the health reasons for each component are laid out nicely. But it's a Saturday morning, and I was admittedly more interested in yummy tasting, rather than searching based on my heart health.
And yes, the ingredients are not your typical coffee accoutrements. Butter, coconut oil, nut milk, raw honey, and vanilla extract. Butter was the most disconcerting. But not a deal-breaker. I love my butter. And the post even mentioned that using salted butter will give it that salted caramel taste. Butter, check. Raw Coconut oil, check. Nut milk, check. Raw honey, check. Vanilla: extract, powder, paste, take your pick. So I went about constructing my coffee. I first made up a pour-over, my go-to way for preparing one cup. I find it such a therapeutic way to prepare coffee- you have to be there, in the moment, to slowly, methodically pour the hot water over the grinds. But the result is a fabulous smooth cup of coffee.
I put the coffee into a NutriBullet. Along with all the other ingredients. Organic butter, grass-fed if possible, because the Vitamin K that the cows get from grazing is good for clearing out your arteries, and then the healthy fat that butter contains can move through your body easily. Raw honey is filled with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and enzymes. Get the organic kind from a good health food store. It's good for fighting disease, even cancer.
I whipped the ingredients together. Oh my, how creamy, foamy and tasty. And potentially messy. I learned this one the hard way, so you won't have to: make sure you have closed the NutriBullet container tightly! And if you don't have a NutriBullet or something similar, an immersion blender will work just fine. Either way, fabulously yummy. Also ideally, try and have your butter at room temperature. It will speed up the blending process without cooling down the coffee too quickly.
Try this, and let me know what you think. It is definitely a fresh way to have yummy and healthy coffee. And why not add ground cardamom or cinnamon? I'm trying that next! This morning I had it with one of my Pear and Chocolate Scones, reheated from a stash in the freezer. Go on, whip up a batch of these, you'll be very happy 🙂
* Since this first cup, I now have this cup of coffee regularly. Sometimes I'll use my favourite non-caffeine coffee substitute because this is the one recipe that you will NOT be able to tell that you aren't drinking the real deal. And sometimes I will add freshly hand ground chai spices to steep in the pour over coffee as I'm making it. Then I'll just strain the coffee into the NutriBullet. Chai Butter Coffee. It's a thing!!
Love Jen
Game Changing Butter Coffee
A rich, creamy, foamy cup of coffee that will blow your mind!
- 8 oz brewed coffee I use the pour over method, but you can prepare it any way you'd like
- 1 tbsp organic, grass fed butter if at all possible, for the health benefits
- 1 tbsp nut milk I use almond, but you could use cashew or coconut
- 1 tbsp raw, organic honey this is non-negotiable: Do not use pourable, liquid honey- depending on the source, very little of it may be honey!
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Place all the ingredients in a blender. Or use a frother or wand blender. Even a Nutri Bullet type works well. Just seal tightly since you will be putting it upside down.
Blend well.
Recipe Notes
You could make this with a coffee substitute like Teeccino or Milo etc. In fact, this preparation may make them taste even better!

Can't get enough Wentworth Miller from your standard television diet? Well fret not! In addition to the upcoming series, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow," Fox has now confirmed that they are hard at work at a "Prison Break" reboot event series. Very much in the vein of 2014's "24: Live Another Day," the word "event" seems to indicate a one-time return to a much-beloved series.
For those unfamiliar to the original mid-2000s series, "Prison Break" followed Wentworth Miller's character Michael Scofield, who purposely got himself sent to prison in order to free his wrongfully-accused brother. The series lasted four seasons, and was a perfect companion piece to "24," and it was one of the early examples of American serialized TV before it completely dominated in more recent years.
So far, the details as to what the plot of the series will entail are limited, but according the press release, the juicy details will follow soon.
The press release from FOX is as follows:
"'PRISON BREAK' TO RETURN TO FOX AS ULTIMATE ESCAPIST EVENT SERIES. Series stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell to Reprise Roles as brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows. Original producing team of Paul T. Scheuring, Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead return for newest chapter in award-winning series."
"FOX has ordered a thrilling new event series based on its hit series, 'PRISON BREAK,' it was announced today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group."
"An immediate critical and ratings hit when the original series premiered in the fall of 2005, the new event series will hit the ground running, reuniting series stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell as brothers MICHAEL SCOFIELD and LINCOLN BURROWS."
"The original producing team, including series creator Paul T. Scheuring ('Zero Hour'), Neal Moritz ('The Fast and the Furious' franchise), Marty Adelstein ('Aquarius,' 'Last Man Standing') and Dawn Olmstead ('The Whispers,' 'Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce') will return to executive-produce the new series, with Scheuring serving as showrunner/writer."
"The original action drama PRISON BREAK centered on a young man (Miller) determined to prove his convicted brother's (Purcell) innocence and save him from death row by hatching an elaborate plan to escape from prison. A breakout success in its premiere season, garnering Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Television Series – Drama and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama (Miller), as well as winning the People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, PRISON BREAK thrilled audiences for four heart-pounding seasons, ending its run in May 2009."
"Additional details on the new event series will be announced at a later date."
"The series will be produced 20th Century Fox Television. Paul T. Scheuring, Neal Moritz, Marty Adelstein and Dawn Olmstead will serve as executive producers.

In this article you passive sound will learn the easy tinnitus treatment methods and you will also learn about the factors that can be the cause of this terrible symptom. It is a fact that there are many methods that can be performed to cure for tinnitus, but it is highly recommended that you should consult with your doctor before making any decision to use any of these methods.
These Beats By Dr Dre headphones are of the earbud style and are adorned with some bling. The diamond crusted earbuds feature all of the technology that makes the Beats headphones the best Monster Beats Studio and utilizes the same silicone tips for noise blocking effect. I don't like that they run on batteries. I was expecting a little more in that area.The passive noise canelling headset reducing headphones are much smaller as they go inside the ear canal and need no power supply.
You will find body parts that should be protected, like the eyes. Using safety goggles or glasses will guard against dust, splinters, filings and grit from going into your eyes. When you are doing work around power tools, safety goggles are one of your most important components of safety equipment. Electric power devices can be very noisy and for your protection and comfort you should use ear plugs or ear defenders. Long term hearing loss can be avoided if you take the precaution to protect your ears.
Many people make the mistake of working through their lunch and break times. In the long run, this will not ensure you get any more work done. Instead, you will be tireder and more stressed, and your brain will not function properly. Your work passive noise cancelling headset will then suffer. When you take the breaks your body needs you re-charge your batteries and you will get just as much work done, if not more.
Your surroundings can make a huge difference when you are trying to study. Dorm rooms tend to be too loud and busy for you to focus. You may find it preferable to discover a locale that is quiet. Studying in a library is always a great idea. If you do not have any other choice, buy some noise-canceling headphones.
Netflix Subscription. If you really have no idea what kind of movie to get the fan in your life, get them a subscription to Netflix. They will be able to pick out the movies they want to watch and keep them as long as they like. You can choose the number of movies they have out at a time and how many months the subscription will last.

EU Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc said, "This agreement is an important step to curb aviation emissions. An ambitious climate policy is an integral part of the Commission's plan to create an Energy Union, and a priority of the new Aviation Strategy. The EU played a central role in brokering this deal, as it did at the COP21 in Paris. I hope this will create further momentum for the creation of a Global Market-Based Measure to offset CO2 emissions from international aviation, which we hope to achieve this autumn at the ICAO General Assembly."
Meeting in Montreal, the ICAO's Committee on Aviation and Environmental Protection (CAEP) agreed on a CO2 standard, which will guide the certification of aircraft towards greater fuel-efficiency. The stringency and the applicability dates, which the CO2 standard imposes, will depend on the weight of the aircraft and whether it concerns a "new type" aircraft or an "in-production" aircraft. For large new aircraft types, a very ambitious standard was agreed, to incentivise ever-greater fuel efficiency performance of future aircraft fleets. For such aircraft types, the standard will apply as of 2020. By 2028, existing aircraft types will also have to apply the new standard. Over the period until 2040, the CO2 standard could help save up to 650 million tonnes of CO2.
This agreement concludes six years of international negotiations. It will be brought before the 39th ICAO Assembly in September for political endorsement, and is expected to be formally adopted by the ICAO Council in early 2017.

What happens when a clandestine group of politicians and intelligence operatives run prototype weapons through Lieutenant Peter Bank's jurisdiction? Nothing, they're clandestine, no one knows they exist or what they do... Right?
Correct, right up until one of their prototype weapons turns up at a drug bust, along with a congressman's son who likes to moonlight as criminal elite.
The paperwork on the arrest is not finished before an army of politicos and local executive pressure comes down on Banks and his narcotics unit like a thousand year flood. Everyone wants to make the arrest of a prominent politician's offspring go away, even Bank's own Chief of Police. Normally that wouldn't be a problem. Most cops follow orders from the chief, most cops have a stake in their careers.
Peter Banks has been burned before by political fixers who seemed to think the various strata of society are not all created, or treated equally under the law. Banks also has a team behind him that would follow him to hell and back if it meant getting the job done.
From an exclusive island off the coast of South Carolina, the mountains in the upstate, to the gutters of Charleston, SC Banks and his team will charge through mercenaries, assassins, and their own hierarchy to see justice done; and they will do it at terrible cost.
Spoilers details what happens when a determined police unit puts service and doing the right thing above themselves. It is a fast paced, intricate, and explosive read that leaves the audience exhausted and begging for more after the last page is turned.

Dutch government to run 'lawless' St Eustatius
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AFP) — The Dutch government said Monday it will take over the running of one of its Caribbean island municipalities, denouncing "physical neglect" and "lawlessness" on Sint Eustatius.
The island's ruling council will be immediately dissolved, and Dutch Interior Minister Raymond Knops will travel there this week to explain the decision to residents.
"The current administrative situation is one of lawlessness and financial mismanagement," the interior ministry said.
"Discrimination, intimidation, threats, insults and personal enrichment flourish at the expense of the people of Sint Eustatius," said a statement issued in The Hague.
Mismanagement "has had a serious effect on the running of the island and the daily lives of the population of Sint Eustatius," the ministry said, adding "the island has been physically neglected."
New polls to elect an island council will be held once Sint Eustatius is able to properly run itself.
Administration of the tiny island municipality with just over 3,000 residents, situated in the Leeward Islands chain east of Puerto Rico, "has been a source of concern for a while," the statement said.
"Previous measures to improve the situation have failed," it added, pointing to a report by a two-person commission set up in May to investigate.
The commission recommended an intervention by the Dutch government, a move supported by the Dutch State Council – The Netherlands' highest court, which also advises the government on state matters.
But the commission also slapped the Dutch government, saying it had allowed relations to deteriorate, while projects to improve roads, water supply, homes and waste disposal had dragged.
The move comes less than a month before the Dutch part of the nearby island of Saint Martin is to hold new elections after a row with The Netherlands over aid in the wake of Hurricane Irma forced a previous premier to resign.
Irma barrelled through the eastern Caribbean destroying swathes of Sint Maarten, as it is called in Dutch, as well as Sint Eustatius, Bonaire and Saba.
Sint Eustatius, together with the islands of Bonaire and Saba, form "special municipalities" within the Kingdom of the Netherlands which is responsible for its public administration.

Are you or a loved one struggling with heroin addiction? We're here to provide the support and guidance you need. Residents at Timberline Knolls learn to conquer heroin addiction through evidence-based treatment methods and cutting-edge therapies.
Compassionate Heroin Addiction Treatment Based on Medical Excellence
Timberline Knolls psychiatrists, internal medicine physicians, nurses and therapists are not only experts in heroin abuse and addiction treatment.
We also understand the fear and anxiety that come with confronting the emotions, perceptions and life experiences at the root of heroin use. We support each woman who seeks our help with relentless compassion and an unconditional, joyful spirit that inspires hope in her ability to reclaim her life from heroin addiction.
In addition to understanding symptoms of heroin dependence, our treatment team assesses each woman's entire history of substance abuse. They may also look for other co-occurring addictions, such as abuse of opiate painkillers or other prescription drugs that may have been a precursor to heroin abuse. We also consider efforts the user may take to cope with the side effects of long-term dependence on heroin.
Our substance abuse treatment team also digs deeper than many drug rehab centers into the underlying causes and conditions of the entire addictive disease process. As a result, they often identify co-occurring psychiatric conditions or eating disorders, or uncover other addictive behavior patterns deeply intertwined with long-term dependence on opiates. If unaddressed or under-addressed, co-occurring disorders commonly trigger repeated relapses.
Each woman or girl who seeks help at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center will receive a heroin abuse treatment program that focuses on her strengths. This individualized, medically-based approach to treatment and recovery succeeds where other drug rehab programs may have failed. It helps women and their families reclaim their lives from heroin and look forward to the future.
What Makes Our Heroin Dependence Treatment Plans Successful?
The most effective approaches to substance abuse treatment and recovery consider all available information about a resident, and leverage the experience of a diverse treatment staff to customize each woman's treatment program. This collaborative approach is one of the distinguishing elements of heroin abuse and addiction treatment at a leading rehab center like Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center. It's also one of the reasons why so many leading outpatient drug abuse and addiction specialists refer to us their patients who need more intensive treatment, or who have struggled to sustain heroin recovery in an outpatient setting.
Before Admission
Assessment of a woman's treatment needs begins early on in our admissions review process. We ask both the woman and her family to provide information about her drug abuse symptoms, roadblocks to success in work or school, and challenges with loved ones. We also request her consent to speak with previous addiction treatment providers to gather additional information about medical history, psychiatric history, past substance abuse treatment progress, and stumbling blocks to achieving or maintaining recovery from dependence on heroin.
Thorough Intake Assessment
Once she is admitted, each woman undergoes a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment. She is then assigned a substance abuse treatment team with several members whom she will meet individually after she settles in on campus:
- Primary therapist
- Family therapist
- Psychiatrist (MD)
- Internal medicine physician (MD)
- Addiction specialist
- Registered dietician (RD)
Each treatment team member provides an assessment within the woman's first days at Timberline Knolls. The findings are integrated and reviewed with our entire clinical staff, including other therapists and psychiatrists. As a result, our full knowledge about successful opiate addiction treatment is integrated into each woman's treatment plan.
Taking Ownership of Treatment
We believe it is critical for each woman to take ownership of her treatment and recovery from the outset.
Once her addiction treatment plan is formulated, our team's recommendations are shared with the woman in her first care conference, which will include her primary therapist, family therapist, psychiatrist, discharge planner, nursing staff and lodge staff. This cooperative approach gives her input into the goals for her treatment and allows her to choose several elective elements of her program. She will be asked to sign off on her treatment objectives and the progression of her treatment plan for heroin abuse or addiction, and any other co-occurring disorders. This conference also sets stage for ongoing collaboration between the woman and her treatment team throughout her stay in residential treatment.
Looking Forward to Recovery
Following the initial care conference, the treatment team will meet weekly throughout the resident's stay, and consult each other informally to monitor her progress and to make sure her recovery needs are being fully supported. If new symptoms appear, a woman may also undergo additional psychological testing or medical evaluation to ensure her heroin addiction treatment considers all relevant aspects of her health.
Additionally, women with other medical symptoms or complications from prescription opiate dependence, anorexia, or bulimia may be referred to consulting healthcare providers such as a neurologist, orthopedic surgeon, cardiologist, gynecologist, dentist, or gastroenterologist.
What Will You Experience at Our Treatment Center?
A woman's experience at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center may differ dramatically from other drug rehab facilities or substance abuse treatment programs she has attended in the past. That is by design.
Comprehensive, Integrated Treatment and Recovery
There is no miracle cure for heroin addiction.
Every woman recovering from heroin abuse must develop tools she can trust to help manage both physical and emotional pain that compels her to seek out heroin. We work with our residents help them learn to recognize emotional changes and identify the conscious choices they are making throughout their day. Our caring staff provides consistent support as women learn to use new tools in situations where they would have previously abused heroin or other opiates. As they gain confidence in their ability to make positive, healthy choices, women experience improved self-esteem and body acceptance, reduced stress and anxiety, healing of trauma, and increased self-awareness.
Comprehensive and individualized addiction treatment plans use approaches proven to help women learn to manage their emotions and develop the tools to recover from heroin dependency. Specific examples include:
- One-on-one therapy sessions
- Expressive and experiential therapy
- Education about disease processes and recovery
- Meal support and regular consultation with dietary staff
- Group sessions to teach and practice behavior modification and emotion management
- Family therapy (including family participation)
- Twelve-step facilitation
- Onsite and offsite twelve-step meetings
- Weekly psychiatric consultation
- Trauma awareness and recovery
- Educational services for school-age women
- Families Anonymous (FA)
Expressive Therapy Provides A Productive Outlet for Complex Emotions
Expressive therapy has been clinically proven to promote healing and recovery, in addition to providing a needed creative outlet for women during their treatment and beyond. Our expressive therapy program includes a variety of outlets a woman can select based on her personal interests:
- art therapy in a historical art studio that supports painting, sculpture and other media
- dance/movement therapy
- empowerment group (experiential trauma recovery)
- movement therapy in our on-site fitness facility
- outdoor recreation such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton or gardening on our 43 acre campus
What is Our Approach to Detoxification and Withdrawal from Heroin Addiction?
While Timberline Knolls takes a holistic approach that integrates recovery principles into our treatment, we recognize heroin abuse and addiction as medical diseases that first and foremost require medical stabilization.
Successful heroin dependence treatment must consider more than just the causes of the addictive behavior. Treatment must also address the medical challenges a woman will face as she attempts to curtail long-term abuse of prescription drugs. Her safety is our first priority. Depending on the medications she's abusing, her patterns of use, and the state of her health, she may require medically managed detoxification.
Though many in the recovery community express philosophical objections to the use of prescription opiates, we believe this deprives many heroin addicts of the best available treatment and chance of recovery. In certain cases, we may prescribe temporarily a medication known as suboxone for women struggling to overcome long-term heroin addiction. This helps them weather the otherwise debilitating withdrawal symptoms and take ownership of their treatment and recovery process with some degree of comfort and dignity.
Our internal medicine staff and psychiatrists have extensive experience helping women through heroin withdrawal symptoms. One of the unique features of a leading residential treatment center is that we provide 24-hour nursing care. A woman facing withdrawal, as well as her loved ones, can be confident that her safety will be monitored continuously and that staff will be attentive not only to her comfort, but also to complications from other health conditions. More importantly, our entire staff provides her with consistent emotional support that recognizes the important step she's taken by committing to treatment and recovery.
Heroin abuse and addiction are serious medical conditions that require care from experienced chemical dependency specialists. Curtailing heroin use can involve serious medical complications, including death. Detoxification from heroin should not be attempted at home or without direction and supervision from a licensed medical doctor experienced in treating heroin addiction and withdrawal. If you or your loved one are concerned you may be experiencing heroin withdrawal symptoms, call 911 for emergency assistance.
How Do We Treat Co-Occurring Disorders with Heroin Abuse?
When treating women and girls for heroin dependency, our specialized treatment team at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center never assumes they are treating an isolated disease. Frequently, long-term abuse of heroin progresses from attempts by a woman to:
- Manage pain or other symptoms from acute injuries or chronic medical conditions, particularly if she loses access to other opiate painkillers
- Reduce feelings of anxiety or depression worsened by underlying psychiatric conditions that we refer to as co-occurring disorders
- Soothe intense emotions related to unresolved, traumatic experiences in her past
Co-occurring disorders describe a situation where heroin addiction exists along with at least one other psychiatric illness that is active and affects the user's patterns of substance abuse. Co-occurring disorders are a widely recognized factor among heroin abusers. However, many medical and behavioral health professionals, who are primarily concerned with addressing the heroin dependency, do not always treat these complex conditions appropriately. Medical researchers have found that a large percentage of those who have an addiction to opiates also have at least one other mental illness and/or personality disorder. Women with co-occurring disorders tend to have more severe symptoms of each illness and higher potential for relapse.
Examples of conditions that can co-exist with heroin addiction are:
- depression
- bipolar disorder
- panic and anxiety disorders
- eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, body dysmorphic disorder)
- post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- personality disorders
- schizophrenia
- various phobias and compulsions
In a situation where co-occurring disorders exist, an attempt to address only the heroin addiction in isolation is at best incomplete. In some cases, it can even worsen her long-term prognosis for recovery. Life-long recovery requires an in-depth understanding of each disease and the complex challenges their interactions create.
To learn more about heroin abuse and addiction treatment and recovery at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, call one of our experienced admissions counselors today. We accept adolescent and adult women for admission seven days a week.

Welcome one and all! I don't think I get to tell you as often as I should, how much I love Ireland and what it has "produced" along time. Tomorrow proud ginger Irish people celebrate St. Patrick's Day all over the world. Even in Chicago the river turns green and leprechauns can be seen - of course fake ones, so don't go running after any pot of gold ;) The first St. Paddy Day was celebrated in 1756 in NYC at the Crown & Thistle Tavern. In case you did not know, it was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century. This feast day us kept by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Lutheran Church as well! It is the day that remembers the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, through Saint Patrick himself! It's a celebration deeply rooted in the heritage and culture of Irish people (and not only!). Nowdays it is rather popular for big cities to host parties on the 17th of March, for St. Paddy's, and have an Irish theme about it. I remember going to such parties in my hometown, in Iasi - Romania. People would have Irish beer (like Guinness or Kilkenny) or Irish whiskey, dress up in green, sport a 4 leaf clover and listen to some good old Irish tunes.
It is said that the shamrock, the clover, as a symbol of Ireland, came from the times of good old Saint Paddy. It is said that when he came to bring the fairy in Ireland he explained the Holy Trinity by using a 3 leaf clover - The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. It is also said that since Saint Paddy stepped in Ireland the country was "cured" from snakes and there are no more of them - I wonder if that still indeed is true... I still have Ireland on my #bucketlist even though I came very close a couple of times... But why should you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?! Why I would celebrate it for this fine country alone! I celebrate it because I've always had a crush on Ireland, ever since I was a wee lass. But then... why love Ireland? Because...
1) It has the most amazing music, played from the soul, with all of their heart. They pour forward their sorrows, mix them with grief and elevate them to dark humor and pure laughter. But they don't just leave it to that, they have the most amazing dances I have seen... I remember being small and watching for the first time Michael Flatley work his magical feet onto the floor. It seemed to me as if the ground he was walking was of fire! The way that Irish people tell stories through music is just unearthly and totally eary. Also... should I even try mentioning the most amazing band still running... that's right! U2!
2) History alone would recommend Ireland! Some countries boast of being old and filled with history lessons, but Ireland has that even before 8.000 BC!
3) The stories, ghost, ghouls, fairies, leprechauns and all the mystical creatures that are roaming about Ireland... I will always believe that pixies and fairies are real, no matter what everyone says! And for sure when I'll see a leprechaun I'll try to be swift and catch it so he can take me to his pot of gold, at the end of the rainbow ;)
4) Horses as a symbol - that's right! Horses are a symbol of Ireland, wild and beautiful. They are a national treasure and they are cherished. Even in famine times people did not want to eat horse meat, considering it too precious. Maybe for the Irish is indeed safe to say that the horse is their best friend :) and such magnificent creatures they are!
5) Free national museums and galleries - enough said! They had me at "museum"... everyone who knows me knows that I love a good museum and it seems Ireland has quite a few nice ones to offer.
6) The spirits... as in the alcohol... as in the wonderfully one of a kind beer like the dark Guinness or the "Red haired" Kilkenny. Pure love for smooth and silky taste - that's Ireland alright!
7) Eurovision record... they took it home 7 times! But I think the real winner behind this is the amazing Riverdance (first performance in the 1994 contest). Long may the magical Michael Flatley live!
BONUS: The Book of Kells (held in Dublin). If you have no clue what that is but you love beautiful things, if you love art and design and history... well this baby is a must! There is even an animation about it, so beautifully done it will break your heart. Just so you know... in 2009 the animation The Secret of Kells was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. It tells a fictional story about three creation of The Book by an old monk and his apprentice Brendan.
How about you lads and lasses, will you be celebrating tomorrow St. Patrick's Day? Will you be dressing up in green or have a clover with you? Will you tap dance? Any plans on visiting Ireland soon? I find it, through pictures and movies, the greenest place on earth. Have you ever been there? I would love to hear your stories in relation to this celebration.
Yours very much sincerly,
The Twisted Red LadyBug That Loves Ireland
