The WaterRower water rowers have self-regulating water resistance. The user who performs exercises on the device does not need to know about setting it because the resistance automatically adjusts to the strength with which the practitioner rows. It means that the stronger you row, the greater the resistance. In the case of devices such as water rowers, resistance is generated due to the movements of the paddle in the water tank.
Exercising with WaterRower there is no risk of "overworking". The device can be used literally by anyone regardless of age, gender or condition. WaterRower rowers work incredibly quietly, and the user can indulge in the relaxation of the sound of water noise while performing each stroke, just as if he really rowed in a boat in a natural environment.
"Rowing, indoors or outdoors, at any exercise level of intensity, requires a greater exercise expenditure thanany other aerobic activity. Calories are burned in relation to the number of muscles used and the intensity and duration of the exercise. Rowing with a sliding seat uses a very large muscle mass since the upper, lower andtrunk muscles are used vigorously."- Dr. C Everett Koop- Former US Surgeon General
The main advantage of WaterRower rowers is a high-quality manual finish, characterized by a very long life and great feeling during rowing. WaterRowers can be used in any environment, during the exercise you can hear only the natural noise of water, so they do not disturb other users in the same room.
Each stroke in the device is extremely smooth and it distributes the work to individual muscle groups. WaterRower rowers do not require complicated assembly, they do not take up a lot of space and after finishing the workout, just place them vertically. The design of the equipment has been chosen in such a way that it resembles a piece of furniture more than a training device, which is why in most cases it will look very nice and aesthetically in apartments.
Another very important thing is that WaterRowery does not require any literally any maintenance except replacing the water in the tank from time to time. The end of dirty and greased hands as in the case of other devices that need to be systematically lubricated with various types of grease.
WaterRower simulators are shorter than other similar training devices. The water system of automatic resistance is the closest to the actual rowing movement occurring in nature. Rowing on the device with just the strength of your muscles, you increase or decrease the load, which is very convenient and universal, and thus in a very easy and convenient way you can adjust the resistance to your abilities and expectations very precisely.
The WaterRower rowers were made of the best quality materials available on the market. Models: Home, Club, Oak, Maple, Blank, Classic, Club, Natural, Oxbridge, Xeno Muller, and Studio were made of high-quality wood. Models: M1 LoRise and M1 HiRise in aluminum while models: S1 LoRise and S1 HiRise from high quality stainless steel. Looking from the side, you can see that the manufacturer did not save on materials by producing their WaterRowers, thanks to which the machines are resistant to friction and mechanical damage.
We guarantee that the devices will serve without problems for many, many years and even over time will not be too different in technical condition from these new catalogs because they have been really solidly made.
What else can we say about our devices?
Certainly the fact that rowing training is one of the most popular home-grown training, engages as much as 84% of the entire body, which has a positive effect on your condition and improves your fitness and, most importantly, you can achieve spectacular results in a very short time.
The majority of WaterRowers in our offer have modern S4 V2 training computers, in addition to the Home and Studio models, because these have been equipped with A1 training computer. Computers allow you to monitor on a regular basis in order to check your achievements in a simple and transparent way and to beat your own records. You can also modify the training in such a way that it is more efficient than the previous one.
We also remind you that there are many additional accessories available for our WaterRowers, such as tablet and smartphone holders, pulse monitoring kits, cleaning kits, water dyes and equipment mats.
For monitors in version S4 V2, a pulse measurement module can be added without any major problems, which enables more accurate readings! If you decide to make a set together with a telemetry belt, then you already have all the necessary set, and if you have a computer with only a receiver, you still need to buy a telemetry belt. There are also available bluetooth modules, thanks to which there is the possibility of pairing the device with a smartphone, computer or tablet, and what goes with it can be practiced even more conveniently with additional training applications.

The history of the American brand WaterRower
goes back to the late 1980s. Then American John Duke developed easy-to-use rowing equipment. He assumed that training on land should simulate conditions that prevail on the water in the most similar way. So he invented the original and unique WaterRower water rowing machine.
WaterRower machines
are presented annually among others at the world's largest International Fairs. Currently, the WaterRower brand is very popular and its offer includes products available for sale both at home and abroad.
In 2008, the WaterRower brand
won the Plus X Awards perfection prize, which is the most important distinction in the world for innovation in technology, lifestyle and sport.
Application of water resistance in WaterRower
Unlike training rowers from other manufacturers, and more specifically rowers with mechanical, air, magnetic or hydraulic resistance, WaterRower is characterized by the use of unique water resistance.
The heart of the WaterRower rowing machine is the water reservoir and the paddles enabling free manipulation of the water in the reservoir. The ergonomic design of all WaterRower rowing machine components allows maximum utilization of the water resistance potential. The use of water resistance results in a pleasant, smooth and jerk-free workout that is closest to nature.
Water resistance is self-acting, which means that it adapts itself precisely to the speed of rowing and training strength. The WaterRower rowing machine, by using water as a resistance, simulates the experience of rowing in natural surroundings and provides relaxing sound of water noise. Learn more
The most important advantages of using WaterRower water resistance:
rowing with WaterRower is gentle on the joints,
water resistance is 100% self-determining,
training is calm and soothing, thanks to the pleasant, rhythmic noise of the water,
water shows no signs of wear - it is indestructible.

Appeal from a judgment of the district court refusing to vacate a search warrant, under which the appellant's premises were searched and quantities of whiskey, gin and alcohol were found and seized. See also the next case, post, p. 267 U. S. 505.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is an appeal, under § 238 of the Judicial Code, direct from the district court, being a case involving the application of the federal Constitution. The judgment complained of denied a petition of Steele for an order vacating a search warrant by authority of which Steele's premises were searched and a large amount of whisky and other intoxicating liquor was found and seized. He contends that the search warrant violated the Fourth Amendment because not issued upon probable cause and not particularly describing the place to be searched or the property to be seized, and because the search conducted under the warrant was unreasonable. The affidavit for search warrant was as follows:
"Southern District of New York, ss.:"
"Isidor Einstein, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I am a general prohibition agent assigned to duty in
the State of New York. On December 6, 1922, at about 10 o'clock a.m., accompanied by Agent Moe W. Smith, I was standing in front of the garage located in the building at 611 West Forty-Sixth street, Borough of Manhattan, City and Southern District of New York. This building is used for business purposes only. I saw a small truck driven into the entrance of the garage, and I saw the driver unload from the end of the truck a number of cases of stenciled whisky. They were the size and appearance of whisky cases, and I believe that they contained whisky. A search of the records of the federal prohibition director's office fails to disclose any permit for the manufacture, sale, or possession of intoxicating liquors at the premises above referred to."
"The said premises are within the Southern District of New York, and, upon information and belief, have thereon a quantity of intoxicating liquor containing more than one-half of 1 percent of alcohol by volume, and fit for use for beverage purposes, which is used, has been used, and is intended for use, in violation of the statute of the United States, to-wit, the National Prohibition Act."
"This affidavit is made to procure a search warrant, to search said building at the above address, any building or rooms connected or used in connection with said garage, the basement or subcellar beneath the same, and to seize all intoxicating liquors found therein."
Isidor Einstein.
"Sworn to before me this 6th day of December, 1922. Saml. M. Hitchcock, U.S. Commissioner, Southern District of New York."
The search warrant issued by the commissioner followed the affidavit in the description of the place and property to be searched and seized, and was directed to Einstein as general prohibition agent.
Section 25, Title II, of the National Prohibition Act, c. 85, 41 Stat. 305, 315, provides for the issue of a search chanrobles.com-red
warrant to seize liquor and its containers intended for use in violating the Act, and provides that the search warrant shall be issued as provided in Title XI of the Espionage Act of June 15, 1917, c. 30, 40 Stat. 217, 228.
Under that title, in conformity with the Fourth Amendment, the warrant can be issued only upon probable cause, supported by affidavit particularly describing the property and place to be searched. The judge or commissioner must, before issuing the warrant, examine on oath the complainant and any witness he may produce, and require their affidavits or take their depositions in writing and cause them to be subscribed by the parties making them. The affidavits or depositions must set forth the facts tending to establish the grounds of the application, or probable cause for believing that they exist. If the judge or commissioner is satisfied of the existence of the grounds for the application, or that there is probable cause to believe their existence, he must issue a search warrant, signed by him with his name of office, to a civil officer of the United States duly authorized to enforce or assist in enforcing any law thereof, stating the particular grounds or probable cause for its issue and the names of the persons whose affidavits have been taken in support thereof, and commanding him forthwith to search the person or place named, for the property specified, and to bring it before the judge or commissioner. If the grounds on which the warrant was issued be controverted, the judge or commissioner must proceed to take testimony in relation thereto, and the testimony of each witness must be reduced to writing and subscribed by each witness. If it appears that the property taken is not the same as that described in the warrant, or that there is no probable cause for believing the existence of the grounds on which the warrant was issued, the judge or commissioner must cause the property to be restored to the person from whom it was taken; but if it appears that the chanrobles.com-red
property taken is the same as that described in the warrant, and that there is probable cause for believing the existence of the grounds on which the warrant was issued, then the judge or commissioner shall order the same retained in the custody of the person seizing or to be otherwise disposed of according to law.
The facts developed before the commissioner on hearing this petition for return of the seized goods were these: Einstein and Moe Smith were prohibition agents. They saw a truck depositing cases in a garage on the opposite side of Forty-Sixth street from where they were. Einstein crossed the street and saw they were cases stenciled as whisky. Einstein left his companion to remain in the neighborhood until he could get the warrant, and in something more than an hour returned with it and made the seizure. The building searched was a four-story building in New York City on the south side of West Forty-Sixth street, with a sign on it "Indian Head Auto Truck Service-Indian Head Storage Warehouse, No. 609 and 611." It was all under lease to Steele. It was entered by three entrances from the street, one on the 609 side, which is used, and which leads to a staircase running up to the four floors. On the 611 side, there is another staircase of a similar character, which is closed, and in the middle of the building is an automobile entrance from the street into a garage, and opposite to the entrance on the south side is an elevator reaching to the four stories of sufficient size to take up a Ford machine. There is no partition between 611 and 609 on the ground or garage floor, and there were only partial partitions above, and none which prevented access to the elevator on any floor from either the 609 or 611 side. The evidence left no doubt that, though the building had two numbers, the garage business covering the whole first floor and the storage business above were of such a character and so related to the elevator that there was no real chanrobles.com-red
division in fact or in use of the building into separate halves. The places searched and in which the liquor was found were all rooms connected with the garage by the elevator. One of them was a room on the second floor with a door open toward the elevator, in which, when Einstein made his search, three men were bottling and corking whisky. There was a room on one of the floors, flimsily boarded off, in which an employee had a cot and a cook stove. The prohibition agent seized 150 cases of whisky, 92 bags of whisky, and one 5-gallon can of alcohol on the third floor on the 609 side. On the second floor, 33 cases of gin were seized on the 609 side, and six 5-gallon jugs of whisky, 33 cases of gin, 102 quarts of whisky, and two 50-gallon barrels of whisky, and a corking machine were taken on the 611 side of the building.
The description of the building as a garage and for business purposes as 611 West Forty-Sixth street clearly indicated the whole building as the place intended to be searched. It is enough if the description is such that the officer with a search warrant can, with reasonable effort, ascertain and identify the place intended. Rothlisberger v. United States, 289 F. 72; United States v. Borkowski, 268 F.4d 8, 411; Commonwealth v. Dana, 2 Metc. 329, 336; Metcalf v. Weed, 66 N.H. 176; Rose v. State, 171 Ind. 662; McSherry v. Heimer, 132 Minn. 260.
Nor did the search go too far. A warrant was applied for to search any building or rooms connected or used in connection with the garage, or the basement or subcellar beneath the same. It is quite evident that the elevator of the garage connected it with every floor and room in the building, and was intended to be used with it.
The attempt to give the building the character of a dwelling house by reason of the fact that an employee slept and cooked in a room on one of the floors was, of chanrobles.com-red
course, futile. Section 25 of the Prohibition Act forbids the search of any private dwelling unless it is used for the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquor, or unless it is in part used for some business purpose, such as a store, shop, saloon, restaurant, hotel or boarding house. It provides that "private dwelling" is to be construed to include the room or rooms used and occupied not transiently, but solely as a residence in an apartment house, hotel, or boarding house. Certainly the room occupied in this case was not a private dwelling within these descriptions, but, more than this, it was not searched, and no liquor was found in it. Forni v. United States, 3 F.2d 354.
The search warrant properly described the building searched as a garage, and one for business purposes.
Then it is said that the property seized was not sufficiently identified in the warrant. It was described as "cases of whisky," and, while there is no evidence specifically identifying the particular cases which were seized as those which Einstein saw, the description as "cases of whisky" is quite specific enough. Elrod v. Moss, 278 F.1d 3, 129; Sutton v. United States, 289 F.4d 8; Tynan v. United States, 297 F.1d 7; Forni v. United States, 3 F.2d 354.
Finally, it is said there was no probable cause for the warrant and the seizure. Einstein, a man of experience in such prosecutions and in such seizures, saw the name "whisky" stenciled on cases and said they looked like whisky cases. He ascertained by his own investigation of the official records that there was no permit for the legal storage of whisky on these premises. In a recent case, we have had occasion to lay down what is probable cause for a search. Carroll v. United States, 267 U. S. 132.
"If the facts and circumstances before the officer are such as to warrant a man of prudence and caution in
believing that the offense has been committed, it is sufficient."
What Einstein saw and ascertained was quite sufficient to warrant a man of prudence and caution and his experience in believing that the offense had been committed of possessing illegally whisky and intoxicating liquor and that it was in the building he described.
The search warrant fully complied with the statutory and constitutional requirements as set forth above, the liquor was lawfully seized, and the district court rightly held that it should not be returned.
The decree is affirmed.

Nell Casey
Nell Casey, editor of Unholy Ghost, was only 16 years old when her sister Maud was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Eleven years later, Maud stopped taking her medication and, after a brief hospitalization for mania, fell into a four-month depressive episode.
For this period of time, Nell and her mother became Maud's primary caregivers. Nell threw her energy into responding to hospital crises, taking care of Maud's job and apartment, and helping Maud through the trials of finding the medications that worked for her. Eventually Maud recovered. Even after Maud stabilized, however, Nell experienced an aftermath of anxiety, extreme hypochondria, weight loss, and headaches for several months. Nell describes the difficulties and emotions of caregiving, along with the incredible triumph of her sister's recovery.
What was your sister's experience with bipolar disorder?
The first time Maud experienced depression, she was 18 years old and in her first year of college. She ended up in the nurse's office after someone on her dorm floor called to say she wasn't coming out of her room. She was delusional and had lost touch with reality. My parents had to bring her home and she was hospitalized for about a month. My parents were really involved, although I did visit her in the hospital. I was only 16 years old, so it all seemed incredibly foreign to me. Maud responded quickly to lithium. She regained her composure and became very driven to get back to college. She only ended up taking a semester off from college. It seemed to be a very quick recovery.
When Maud was 29, she went off lithium under the supervision of her therapist, but without telling anyone in the family. She felt that the medication was a decision that my parents had made for her. I saw Maud before I knew she went off the medication and she seemed agitated. Finally, Maud signed herself into the hospital, and then called the family. That was when we found out she had gone off the medication.
Initially Maud was in control enough to realize that she had to go into a hospital and get on medication. But, then the mania got worse and she was in the hospital for six weeks.
When Maud was able to get out of the hospital, she moved back with my mother to Illinois for about month. Then, just as she was incredibly driven to get back to school the first time, she was driven to get back to New York. She wanted to get back to her life.
When she came back to New York, she still seemed really frail and I was uncertain as to how well she was doing. She was living alone in her apartment. Then, she slipped into a very deep depression that no one had predicted. She had a four to five month period of depression. So the whole episode was about six months, but even after that it was such a long process to pull everything back together.
Incredibly, a year later, Maud had recovered. She sold her novel, and had a fully high functioning life. She had a boyfriend and a good job. In putting together the book, Unholy Ghost, I've realized how lucky we are. Maud found medications that really work. We are so happy that Maud is doing so well now. She's been very strong.
What were your sister's mania symptoms?
She had delusions, was paranoid, and didn't trust others. She had interesting theories that ranged from government conspiracies to religious revelations. Her delusions were so active, creative, and oddly fascinating, but heartbreaking. Her energy was so high and agitated. I wasn't allowed to spend the night in the hospital so I had to leave her there in this horrible state. It was awful.
Which symptoms were most upsetting?
The depression was scarier than the mania, because Maud was so absent. It was as if she had exited her body. During her mania, she was outgoing in a way. But, during the depression we feared that we would not get her back. I had long conversations with her on the phone where she was crippled with doubt, pain, insecurity, and sadness. I wondered if she was going to hurt herself. I experienced this ambiguous loss of not knowing if she was going to get better and if the medication was going to work.
What was your experience with the hospital?
The doctors were trying to figure out how to ground her so the mania would not keep galloping ahead. But the people at the desk and nurses seemed bored and because of that they were provocative and tried to pick fights when we were at our lowest point. They had Maud in restraints, even though she wasn't wild, hitting, or screaming. When the staff called me, they wouldn't give information out even though she was an hour and a half away. I remember getting a call in which someone said 'you have to come, something is terribly wrong with your sister. Oh wait, I have to go there's a suicide call.' Then, the person hung up on me. I called back and someone said that it might have been about my sister, then hung up again. As it turned out, it wasn't Maud, but I had to race over there. I never knew what the staff was talking about. The hospital was completely disorganized and it was terrifying because of it. I was far away and trying to hold down a job.
How did you care for your sister?
I didn't care for Maud by myself, my mother who is an unusually dedicated person, moved from Illinois to New York to be here. If my mother wasn't here, I don't think I would have the wherewithal to do it and sustain caring for Maud. We needed to be able to pass off the baton of care giving and take care of each other. I would have burned down to an anxious crisp without my mother. Also, Maud's network of friends was incredible. Her friends were always going to Queens and checking in on her. And our family and relatives all came to visit.
My mom and I both felt like we could fix it and make it better. I did what was logical, but I also went into overdrive. I went to the hospital every day and arranged for other people to go in shifts.
I took care of a lot of medical insurance business. And, I talked to her employers and worked to hold onto her apartment. We wanted her to have a life to walk back into when she came out of it.
I went to the psychiatrist with her when she was still depressed to get a second opinion. She was struggling so much that she couldn't take in everything that the doctor said so I had to be aware of the medication. Maud went through 18 different medications, some concurrently, over four to five months before she found a combination that worked. Maud didn't have the presence of mind to know that one of her medications was actually giving her anxiety. I remember one weekend when she wasn't sleeping, she was up at six, and she was rationalizing how she was going to get better. She made new decisions every three seconds about how she was going to get better. Finally, she mentioned that one of her medications had changed and I realized that this was a side effect. Ultimately, Maud found a combination of drugs that worked for her.
What effect did your sister's depression have on you personally?
Because I didn't understand how to ration my energy, I ended up with some emotional and physical complications afterward. I had terrible anxiety even when she was doing much better. My anxiety was feverish and high about everything. I had a huge amount of hypochondria. I lost a lot of weight. I thought I was dying because I couldn't gain weight. I remember saying to people 'I think I might be dying' and I was clearly thinking irrationally. I had horrible headaches for months. I threw myself into care giving so wholeheartedly. It took a long time to downshift. I was still revved and people would say 'But Maud's better, she seems so well.' My mother had a more realistic expectation, having gone through it the first time.
Also, Maud's depression didn't seem that far away from where I might go. At times Maud had me convinced that we were all suffering from mood disorders. Even in her delusions, the leap from me to her didn't seem that far. I didn't worry that I would suddenly develop manic depression, but I did worry about my mental health because my anxiety was so high. In trying to imagine what she was going through, it became too easy to feel my mind not being able to hold on.
What motivated you to create your book, Unholy Ghost?
Initially it was from the personal experience of dealing with Maud's illness. The book was a home for us to express and write about Maud's experience. Then, the book grew to include many other writers' experiences with depression. I find the questions surrounding depression and mania so relevant and powerful. The vulnerability, loneliness, isolation, and worry are issues that everyone can understand.
What advice do you have for families?
It is really critical to have a tag team of care giving in the family. You need to understand how to ration your energy, although it's hard to do because you don't know how long the situation will last. You need to be supportive of each other.
Know that you are being helpful to a depressed family member even when it seems like you're not. I was surprised to hear Maud say that it was important to have the consistent stubborn support of family there all the time. There were so many moments when I thought that I was not getting through to her.
Also, realize that there are so many aspects of getting better and one of them is that the depressed person has to decide to get better. Maud made the decision to pull her life together and leave some of her support systems. There has to be a decision by the person with depression to get better, among other factors, such as medication, therapy, and family support.

FAMED by Magan Vernon:
On the heels of Mary James leaked sex tape - totally a fake one to make her boyfriend jealous she might add- she needs some PR help if she ever wants her acting career to end up in a fiery hell like her love life.
Chris Garcia has been working his way up from mail room clerk to junior associate at Tate & Cane and now to get to the next rung of the corporate ladder he has to take on the firm's toughest client: Mary James.
With a little help from a nosey Aunt Rosita and Mama Garcia, the two decide the best way to move forward is simple: a fake relationship.

One-Night Stand-In - T. Gephart
Sarah Madison loved working at Tate & Cane Enterprises.
While she looked and, for the most part, acted conservatively—she was a gladiator in the boardroom. The fast-paced, energetic work environment not only fed her need for corporate blood but also allowed her to work for one of her role models, Olivia Cane—living proof a woman really can have it all.
And after months of paying her dues, she was finally offered the promotion she'd been vying for. Which was great, except for the fact she had to share the position with a new guy they brought in especially for the role.
Kyle Drake was smart, experienced, and probably just as good, if not better, in negotiations. And if she wasn't careful, prove he could do the job without her. Add in good-looking and an incredibly sexy smooth talker, and everyone in the office either wanted to be him or sleep with him. Which Sarah could have totally ignored if he hadn't been the stranger she'd married in Vegas during a fake ceremony six months earlier.
He was supposed to be her one-night stand, a stand-in for a ceremony that wasn't even legally binding. They were never even going to see each other again. Hell, she apparently hadn't even known his real last name at the time. It was the only time she'd ever done something completely reckless and spontaneous.
It figured that one time would come back and bite her where it hurt.
Becoming the new Marketing Manager at Tate and Cane was a game changer. I was hell bent on proving I deserved this job, and that it wasn't my cousin Sterling Quinn who had helped me score the new job title. Him being one of the CEO's best friend—didn't help the rumors.
Well screw that.
Ten years of sweat and hard work was the reason I was sitting in a large corner office with a killer Manhattan view. More focused than I'd ever been, it was time to take the bull by the horns.
And God help the person who stood in in my way.
Things I left behind in Seattle, Washington: A promising career at a top marking firm, the past I was desperate to escape, and obviously my sense of direction. It was because of all of those reasons I was standing in the middle of New York City lost and cursing at my phone.
If I didn't get to Tate and Cane soon, I wouldn't only be late, but also blow the chance to make the good impression on my new boss, Mason Quinn. And I needed that more than anything.
One wrong turn, an unfortunate collision, and an expensive suit drenched in my soy chia tea latte was not how I wanted to start my first day.
Then there was the other little problem I had. The drop dead gorgeous man whose suit I'd ruined was my new boss.
And boy did he look pissed.
I was rich, single, and connected, which meant a steady diet of beautiful women wherever I went.
I really did think I had the perfect life.
Until I went and married a supermodel I'd just met, and everything changed.
Of course there were choices. But the word annulment meant giving her up, and I never give up anything. Still, I was a bachelor at heart, and having a wife, well, I didn't really know what to do with that.
After only forty-eight hours of marriage, I had already gone and screwed everything up.
Now I have thirty days to prove to my new wife that I'm husband material. There's only one problem—I don't even know what husband material means. However, I'm certain that won't stop me from excelling at it.
My wife tells me it isn't going to be easy. That I have numerous issues to overcome.
First, there's my jealousy. It needs to be tamed. Did I flip over the fact that her latest picture was causing men around the world to do dirty things all over the covers she graced? Hell, yes. I couldn't help myself though. When her photo went viral, my caveman instincts kicked in, and I demanded she quit her job and stay home—barefoot and pregnant in my kitchen. I can work on that, right?
Then there's my mother. I need to convince her that my new wife is not the money hungry floozy she called her. Did my mother actually call her that? Yes. I can't help it that my mother wants me to get rid of my new wife. The problem is what my mother wants, she always gets one way or another. Still, turning my mother's opinion around can't be that hard, can it?
There are many other issues, but according to my new wife, those are minor compared to the biggest one—she says I will never be able to accept being tied down.
Don't worry—I got this one. I intend to prove to her in no uncertain terms that being tied up, down, or horizontal is just what this Upper East Sider needs.

UNSUPERVISED by Cora Kenborn
A non-existent love life, unstable paycheck, and a six-year-old who'd rather hit boys than books sound more like a cry for help than a dating profile. On paper, it would seem like I need a life coach, but I've managed to get a decent grip on the single-dad thing. My love life, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. With my sexy Irish accent, I should have women of all ages losing their minds, but I seem to attract only a certain type—crazy.
The last thing I want is a new relationship, but I need a date for my company's charity function. A chance meeting with a tall, leggy blonde who looks like she could use a night out is the perfect solution. Beautiful, sane, and she has a kid? We have a winner.
I didn't count on Laken being unforgettable. Unlike all the other fake women I've met in this city, she's real. And if there's one thing I value more than anything, it's honesty.
I didn't bust my ass in college to be a nanny. Unfortunately, a 4.0 GPA and sucking up to the owner's sister did nothing to secure a coveted Tate & Cane Enterprises internship. I'm not proud of being a nanny-for-hire to get my foot in the door, but my wealthy socialite employer has the ears of company executives. Swallowing my pride, I do what I need to—until an afternoon at the park changes everything.
I don't mean to let him think Preston is my kid, but he just assumes. This isn't me. I'm not a liar. Although his panty-melting accent does unspeakable things to me, I should set the record straight. There's only one problem. Niall is a freelance photographer for Tate & Cane and invites me to a company event as his plus-one. He's my "in."
If I can hold on to this charade long enough, I can get the job and the man of my dreams. I'm winging this completely unsupervised. Game on.
TWISTED by Mandi Beck
Three friends walk into a bar . . . One walks out the fake girlfriend of a hot, bearded Scotsman.
Fannin McGuire is up for promotion at Tate and Cane Enterprises, but first she has to make it through her stepsister's wedding. To Fannin's ex. Yep. Her ex-fiancé is about to be her new brother-in-law. One big happy family. And lucky her, she also gets to work with him.
While Fannin is putting all of her energy into her career, her ex is putting all of his energy into making her life hell. Just when Fannin is sure she'll be attending the wedding without a plus one, in walks Jasper James to save the day. He's the bartender at the Iron Flask, the account she's trying to land, and everything she didn't know she needed or wanted. Before Fannin knows what's happening, Jasper is playing knight in shining armor and she likes it. And him. A lot. With his smooth Scottish accent, ridiculously good looks, and that beard? She doesn't stand a chance.
Jasper isn't in the habit of rescuing anyone. But when Fannin is confronted by her ex about her lack of a date for his upcoming nuptials, Jasper can't help but step in. Her wild hair, violet eyes, and killer legs have him doing a few things he normally wouldn't. Never mind that he shouldn't be getting involved with the woman in charge of making the bar a global success.
Their fake relationship becomes more real than either thought it would. Now they're at the mercy of their feelings when truths are twisted, and the lies don't taste as smooth as the whisky.

Multiple U.S. senators are sounding the alarm about the solvency of a recently enacted $350 billion emergency lending program for small businesses, calling for Congress to pass another wave of funding as soon as this week.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will work with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to get the Senate to approve, without objection, another influx of cash on Thursday.
McConnell did not say how much the Senate would try to approve by unanimous consent — which allows the Senate to approve legislation without requiring senators to return to Washington to cast votes — but Small Business Committee Chairman Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said "at least" another $200 billion to $250 billion would be necessary to keep the program afloat.
"We have days, NOT weeks to address this," Rubio tweeted.
The recently enacted $2 trillion financial rescue package included an initial $350 billion for a small business emergency lending program. The program has only been operational since Friday.
McConnell said in a written statement that the program is "overwhelmingly popular" but that "Congress will need to provide more funding or this crucial program may run dry. That cannot happen."

Wildlife Conservation Groups Join Fight to Ban d-CON Rat Poisons
Manufacturer rejected safeguards against accidental poisonings

Today, conservation groups took legal action to support the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to ban sales of several harmful rodenticides.

American Bird Conservancy, Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Club, represented by the public-interest law firm Earthjustice, filed a motion to intervene in landmark administrative proceedings before the U.S. EPA.
The rodenticides at issue, marketed by British-based multinational conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser LLC, under the brand name "d-CON," do not comply with safety measures established by EPA in 2008 to protect children, wild animals, and pets from accidental poisoning.
"Reckitt Benckiser profits at the expense of American natural heritage," said Greg Loarie, an attorney at Earthjustice representing the groups seeking to intervene, "We will do everything we can to support EPA's decision to ban these poisons."
The rodenticides at issue interfere with blood clotting and cause the victim to bleed to death. In the absence of safeguards, rodenticides pose a significant risk to bobcats, foxes, owls, and other animals that are apt to eat poisoned rats or mice.
"EPA is trying to protect wildlife and children from the damaging and even lethal effects of rat poison," said Defenders of Wildlife attorney Jason Rylander. "But Reckitt Benckiser insists on putting money first. To their shame, they are the one company that still refuses to comply with reasonable safety standards."
In 2008, EPA ordered companies to re-formulate their products in protective bait stations and to stop marketing the most toxic rodenticides on the consumer market, instead limiting their sale to large containers from agricultural supply stores. Most other manufacturers have been quick to conform.
"The d-CON company is carrying out unprecedented stalling tactics while their poisons continue to cause gruesome deaths in hawks, owls, eagles and other raptors, as well as in dogs and cats," said Cynthia Palmer, Pesticides Program Manager for American Bird Conservancy. "Reckitt Benckiser is determined to fight this battle to the end because d-CON products are a significant source of income in their $37 billion portfolio, alongside French's Mustard, Lysol, Woolite, and other products. It is time for d-CON to put children's health and animal welfare above corporate profits and to get in line with every other rat-poison manufacturer."
"There's no reason to leave the worst of the worst poisons on the market to benefit one multi-national corporation," said Jonathan Evans who is the Toxics and Endangered Species Campaign Director for the Center for Biological Diversity. "There are safe, cost-effective options on the shelves today that don't indiscriminately kill wildlife."
"Our children, America's wildlife and a rogue rodenticide manufacturer don't mix," said Andrew Christie, director of the Sierra Club's Santa Lucia Chapter. "Reckitt Benckiser's preferred profit margin is not worth another poisoned child or dead kit fox. More needs to be done, but the EPA's proposed ban of d-CON is a necessary minimum safeguard."

The Benefits and Versatility of Engineered Hardwood
The Benefits and Versatility of Engineered Hardwood
When it's time to redo your floors, the options are numerous and can be overwhelming. There are pros and cons to everything and flooring is no different. Classics like hardwood floors are hard to resist, but the benefits of newer options are equally hard to overlook. Unless you have a generous budget, new hardwood flooring may be out of reach. Not so with other hardwood-looking options. One such option, engineered hardwood flooring, is both affordable and versatile. Read on to find out more!
How Affordable is Engineered Hardwood?
Engineered hardwood floors, which consist of a thin layer of hardwood flooring glued to a core made of composite plywood, offer notable savings when compared to traditional hardwood flooring. Without doing extensive bargain hunting, it's possible to find a wide variety of options between $2.50 and $10/ sq ft. While that is a wide range, most were around $5/sq foot. According to Forbes Magazine, the average cost of traditional hardwood floors comes in around $6-10/ sq foot. However, installation costs must be considered, as few people have the time, tools, and ability required to install their own hardwoods.
I Can Install Engineered Flooring Myself?
In a word, Yes! Engineered floors are not difficult to DIY. Installation requires no nails or gluing, although power tools are necessary for cutting boards to length or around doorways and existing trim. As long as you are moderately handy, self-installing is an option and makes engineered floors a more affordable choice. If you do choose to opt for professional installation, they don't require quite as much expertise when compared to traditional hardwood floors.
Where Can I Put Engineered Wood Floors?
Engineered floors can be installed in places where hardwood floors would be discouraged. They tend to be more forgiving with moisture and temperature fluctuation and are therefore more versatile. Consider them in your kitchen, foyer, or basement, provided it is temperature-controlled and isn't prone to flooding.
While companies are coming out with more waterproof versions, all engineered floors are water resistant; a little water isn't a problem, but they don't tolerate being submerged or exposed to extended periods of wetness. In addition, wildly fluctuating temperatures can cause boards to contract or expand, which can create gaps or buckling. To avoid this, don't install engineered floors in an area that gets excessively cold or hot. Also, make sure you choose the appropriate underlayment, if applicable, and that your subfloor is in good shape.
How Do I Maintain Engineered Wood?
Ease of use is always an important consideration when it comes to home improvement projects. Engineered floors are very user-friendly. They can be easily kept company-ready with a broom or dust mop and an occasional cleaning with a product formulated just for them. Check with your specific manufacturer to be sure, but most tolerate washing, provided you don't leave water to settle or soak into the floors. As always, you want to clean up wet spills and pet accidents right away and sweep up grit that could cause scratches. Engineered floors have a wear layer that can be refinished but the best way to keep them from needing refinishing is by staying on top of basic care.
So, are engineered floors right for you? They are, if you like the feel of wood underfoot, but also the feel of money in the bank. A great alternative to traditional hardwood, engineered floors are a step above other popular options. They are available in a wide variety of finishes to fit any decor, and they can be self-installed in many areas of your home. If you need more information, or if you are ready to take the plunge into a New Year flooring project, visit the designers at Shoreline Flooring. They will help you pick out the perfect product and set you up with an installer who can help you revitalize your space.

This has come up a few times in a few other questions, but I've heard varying opinions from different people in a number of answers and comments on here - some saying that just boiling for a moment is enough, others saying that to be sure you should boil for around 10 minutes, and others saying it doesn't matter how long you boil for because some bacteria can survive it with no problem.
So in short, how long should you boil water you've collected for to ensure it's safe to drink? (I'm discounting filtering like metals which boiling won't remove.) It'd be good if answers could be referenced / backed up since people do seem to have different ideas on the subject!

Silas took me to the Kings of Leon concert at The Forum as part of my 40th birthday present. It was really a romantic gesture because he's not a fan of them at all. We had 3rd row seats on the floor and I've never been that close to a concert my whole life. It was incredible. The Local Natives opened up for them and they are currently a new favorite. Their music is so deep and touching. One of the singers dedicated a song to his mother who had passed away recently. Holding back tears on that one. Hopefully these vids will come through as beautiful as they sounded live and not as shit iphone vids. Either way, enjoy.
How good is live music? Are you as passionate as me about it? Its amazing how band can transform your impression on them solely by their live performance. I've lost respect for artist hearing them live, and found new favorites and admiration for others. Its so fascinating to me to be see what musicians come alive onstage. Most of the time, I am not disappointed. Jim James of My Morning Jacket touched on these events so beautifully when he said during one show I saw; "Its really nice to be here together, get away from our iPhones, our screens and our lives and just participate".
How often do we do that???

LONDON -- It's an issue that's been argued about for months, both by experts and by people strolling through parks all over the world: Can people who don't feel sick spread the coronavirus, and if so should we all be wearing masks to stop it?
Even the World Health Organization can't seem to get it straight. On Tuesday the U.N. health agency scrambled to explain seemingly contradictory comments it has made in recent days about the two related issues.
The confusion and mixed messages only makes controlling the pandemic that much more difficult, experts say.
"If you are giving them confusing messages or they're not convinced about why they should do something, like wear masks, they will just ignore you," said Ivo Vlaev, a professor of behavioral sciences at the University of Warwick.
The communications debacle highlighted WHO's change to its longstanding mask advice - a revision that was made months after many other organizations and countries already recommended people don masks.
On Friday, WHO changed its mask advice, recommending that people wear fabric masks if they could not maintain social distancing, if they were over age 60 or had underlying medical conditions. Part of the reasoning, WHO officials said, was to account for the possibility that transmission could occur from people who had the disease but weren't yet symptomatic.
But when Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's technical lead on COVID-19 was asked about the frequency of this kind of transmission this week, she said "It still appears to be rare that asymptomatic individuals actually transmit onward."
On Tuesday, Van Kerkhove said she was referring to a few studies, not the complete picture.
Still, many other scientists were stunned by the description of asymptomatic spread as "rare," saying plenty of evidence exists that people can spread the disease before suffering symptoms.
"I was surprised by the conviction of that statement because there have clearly been people who have transmitted the infection before they go on to develop symptoms," said Keith Neal, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Nottingham who has advised the U.K. government on outbreak control.
The details on how well the coronavirus spreads in different circumstances is not well understood, and is still being studied. But here's what scientists say and experts recommend based on what is known:
We don't know. WHO has maintained for months that the vast majority of COVID-19 spread is from people with symptoms like a fever or cough, and that transmission from people who don't feel sick is not thought to be a major driver of the disease.
At a hastily arranged social media event Tuesday to try to clear up confusion, WHO's emergencies chief, Dr. Michael Ryan, said "both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals are part of the transmission cycle" but that it was unclear how much each contributed to disease spread.
Probably. Wearing a mask might not protect you from getting sick - your eyes are likely still exposed - but health experts think that it may prevent you from spreading the disease unknowingly by acting as a physical barrier.
COVID-19 is spread via respiratory droplets, so wearing a mask will stop those droplets from reaching others. While most spread is thought to happen by coughing and sneezing, Ryan said there is some suggestion that even acts like singing or shouting could spread the virus from people who don't yet show symptoms.
It's complicated, especially since the virus was only identified in late December. Some scientists said WHO's distinction between people who are truly asymptomatic - those who are infected by COVID-19 but never show symptoms - and those who are pre-symptomatic and develop symptoms later - is part of the problem.
While truly asymptomatic people are likely not responsible for significant virus spread, several studies have documented people spreading the disease before they get sick - and some experts say recognizing and stopping this kind of transmission is critical to controlling the pandemic.
Detailed studies and testing of people who test positive for the coronavirus but don't show symptoms to determine if they spread the disease are needed - and few have been done so far.
Although numerous studies have suggested people can spread the virus before they show symptoms, WHO has largely dismissed those as anecdotal or pointed out that they were based on modelling.
Babak Javid, an infectious diseases doctor at Cambridge University Hospital, says many scientists are persuaded by the studies published so far and think WHO should publish the data it is citing to explain why it believes transmission of the disease in people without symptoms is "rare."
"If you're going to make a really important statement like that, it would be good to back it up," Javid said. "I think WHO is an important organization, but they've made a lot of statements that have been misleading."
WHO's Ryan said the agency was committed to being honest and transparent and welcomed the scientific debate it has prompted.

Tesla Motors, makers of the remarkable electric super car that can accelerate as fast as a Ferarri, putting the Prius to shame, has just announced plans to begin production of a $60,000 electric sedan that would seat five and go 225 miles between charges. The Model S would effectively put the price of an all-electric car that doesn't sacrifice performance within reach of a much larger segment of the population.
This is a big development for our energy-strapped nation. It was unknown whether electric battery technology was advanced enough to be cost-effective for people without deep pockets. A $60K price point in just two years would be a game changer, and in 10 years electric cars could be ubiquitous. Tesla's co-founder and chairman, Elon Musk, is on the record with a prediction of a sub-$30K offering in four years at the most according to Palo Alto Daily News. Unless Tesla is bluffing, they may have discovered something special in battery technology, which may just save suburbia from an inevitable death.
However, Tesla has disappointed before with production delays and an inability to deliver enough supply to the hundreds of customers yearning for their environmentally-friendly race car, so there are plenty who doubt that Tesla can deliver on their goal to bring electric cars to the masses.
If you are interested in investing in the future of the auto industry, you may have soon have such an opportunity. Musk has told C-Net that there are plans in the works for a Tesla IPO by the end of 2008, which would raise an estimated $100 million. But perhaps an even better investment option is to head over to the Tesla Motors site where you can pay $55,000 to lock in a production slot for the 2009 Tesla Roadster. As your delivery date approaches, you could sell your spot in line for a nice profit, which you can then put toward a more practical Model S in 2010.

While on the metro I spoke to a union activist who had worked at the RFK stadium where 700 buses were parked. That is about 35,000 people right there. I would guess the protest had to have at least 75,000 - 100,000 people at it.
The peace continent met at 10:30 this morning in the shadow of the Washington monument and then marched over to the rally site at the Lincoln memorial. There couldn't have been many more than 1,500 peace activists in that grouping. It appears that because the One Nation organizers never really seriously included the peace movement's issues of war, peace, and military spending in the official literature and web site for the action, it had a negative impact on the response from peaceniks around the country.
I never heard any speaker from the peace movement while I was at the rally. Someone told me that maybe one would get to talk. So much for inclusion of a key constituency in the program. It really does indicate to me that the Democrats didn't want the peace issues to be given much of a sounding at the event.
There was a huge number of black people, and to a lesser degree Hispanics, at the rally. The SEIU (Service Employees International Union) was heavily represented. I heard that they paid for 600 of the 700 buses. The United Auto Workers (UAW) had a strong attendance too but not many other unions stood out in great numbers.
Those peace activists that were present were carrying many different signs with the Bring Our War $$ Home message on them. So it appears that the slogan is spreading. I met a peace group from suburban Maryland that carried a banner that had that slogan on it as well.
I hung out for some time with the Catholic Worker folks who had come from throughout the northeast for the rally. Then I walked around the entire rally site checking out the scene and getting a feel for the vibes in the crowd. My biggest sense of it all was that people were feeling good about being together in such a very ethnically diverse event. That was the best thing about the whole day.
The best chant I heard all day was from the activists behind the "Socialist contingent" banner. They were shouting: "Obama's no Socialist - but we are!"
My talk last night went very well at the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker House. We had a good discussion afterwards. I learned today that Dorothy Day's granddaughter was there. Not many of them knew very much about space issues so it was a good chance to bring them up to date on the work of the Global Network. They were also interested in hearing more about Maine's Bring Our War $$ Home campaign too.
It was particularly fun for me to see two old friends again at my talk. Patrick O'Neil and Paul Magno were involved in the 1984 Pershing Plowshares action in Orlando, Florida when I lived there. I helped organize support for them during their court trial. Their action, during the time of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, was very controversial in conservative Central Florida. (They poured their blood and hammered on a Pershing II nuclear missile launcher after they broke into the Martin Marietta Corporation.) Patrick lived with me and my son Julian for several months after he got out of prison. He is quite the character and a dedicated activist.
I am at the airport in Baltimore now waiting for my 9:00 pm flight back to Portland. I get the day off on Sunday and then head to Massachusetts on Monday for my talk at Merrimack College.
I did alot of walking today. I'm trying to get in walking shape for the Maine peace walk in November. I got a couple emails from Maine in the last day telling me that folks have begun registering with Veterans for Peace for the walk so that is exciting news.

User accounts on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance are preserved when you change the authentication method and users will continue to log into the same account as long as their username doesn't change.
If the new method of authentication changes usernames, new accounts will be created. As an administrator, you can rename users through the site admin settings or by using the User Administration API.
Other issues you should take into consideration include:
Passwords: If you switch to using built-in authentication for your instance, users must set a password after the change is completed.
Site administrators: Administrative privileges are controlled by your identity provider when you use SAML and can be controlled by group membership when you use LDAP.
Team membership: Only LDAP lets you control team membership from your directory server.
User suspension: When you use LDAP to authenticate, access to GitHub Enterprise Server can be controlled via restricted groups. After switching to LDAP, if restricted groups are configured, existing users who are not in one of those groups will be suspended. Suspension will occur either when they log in or during the next LDAP Sync.
Group membership: When you use LDAP to authenticate, users are automatically suspended and unsuspended based on restricted group membership and account status with Active Directory.
Git authentication: SAML and CAS only supports Git authentication over HTTP or HTTPS using a personal access token. Password authentication over HTTP or HTTPS is not supported. LDAP supports password-based Git authentication by default, but we recommend that you disable that method and force authentication via a personal access token or SSH key.
API authentication: SAML and CAS only supports API authentication using a personal access token. Basic authentication is not supported.
Two-factor authentication: When using SAML or CAS, two-factor authentication is not supported or managed on the GitHub Enterprise Server instance, but may be supported by the external authentication provider. Two-factor authentication enforcement on organizations is not available. For more information about enforcing two-factor authentication on organizations, see "Requiring two-factor authentication in your organization."
Fallback authentication for users with no account on your external authentication provider: You can invite users to authenticate to your GitHub Enterprise Server instance without adding them to your identity provider.

What a delight Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is! It's charming but never cloying, complementing its vibrant cel-shaded art and good-natured child star with plentiful doses of wit and joy. The clever dialogue dips into a bottomless well of puns, keeping you grinning wide, if not laughing out loud at the constant goofiness. More importantly, this Japanese role-playing game possesses great soul, exploring a son's love for his mother, and the vast expanses he's prepared to cross in the hopes of a reunion. Hearts are broken and restored, hidden motives are revealed, and lost relationships again blossom, even after great evil has torn them asunder. This is a wonderful world that you will be eager to lose countless hours in as you adventure through its enticing realms.
Oliver is the cherry-cheeked center of Ni no Kuni--the boy who would save the world, as so many youngsters do in RPGs. But the world he saves isn't his own. Oliver lives in Motorville, an Anytown, U.S.A. sort of place--the kind you might see depicted in a Norman Rockwell painting. Children laugh and play, cars drive slowly along the shrubbery-lined streets, and mothers shop for bottles of milk and sacks of foodstuffs. On the occasions you visit Motorville throughout the game, your travels are accompanied by slurring violins and trilling flutes and oboes. The music tells you all you must know in just a few notes: Oliver's world is idyllic, and his childhood untroubled by cares of the adult world.
This all changes drastically when Oliver's mother dies, saving his life after his reckless motorcar antics. But there is a whisper of hope amid the grief: mom has a soul twin--a great sage living in a fantasy world, currently trapped by a villainous fiend called Shadar. For Oliver, Shadar's defeat means the possible liberation of his mother from death itself. For the denizens of the parallel world, it means liberation from his magical tyranny--or so their story goes.
Thus begins your journey alongside a heartbroken young boy desperate to restore order to his life and his world. Oliver is the soul of the adventure--and his companion Drippy is the wit. Drippy is hardly mere comic relief, but his enthusiasm is infectious. He frequently refers to himself as High Lord of the Fairies in a delightful Welsh accent, egging Oliver on during moments of uncertainty. It's in Ni no Kuni's most surreal scenarios that Drippy's dialogue tickles the most--places where lines like "These littlies are nowhere near as fragile as they are egg-looking!" make a silly sort of sense. His follow-up line: "When I was their age, I ate squid for breakfast! Proper hard I was!" Drippy's a wonderful sidekick (though Drippy sees you as his sidekick, to be fair), and remains a joy, even 60 or more hours in.
As you traverse the overworld and its various cities and dungeons, the squat Drippy skips merrily along, a lantern pierced through his nose. His boundless energy occasionally causes him to stumble, but he bounces right back into gear without ever losing his goofy smile. He's an instant classic of a character, brought to life by fantastic voice acting, a trait the character shares with the entire cast. Oliver's young actor hits just the right balance: endearing and gung-ho, but rarely sickeningly sweet. Fantastical characters like Ding Dong Dell's King Tom--a feline ruler referred to as His Meowjesty--are uplifted by fun, sincere line readings that never cross over into self-parody.
The result is a world you love to be in, which is just as well: even as the game seems to wrap up its story with an emotionally satisfying conclusion, it presses forward, refusing to let plot threads dangle, and uprooting any sense of complacency. The whimsy of the writing is matched by the whimsy of the world and the situations you encounter. This is a game in which you explore the pastel-colored innards of a giant wobbling mother before she fancifully erupts and you experience a second birth of sorts. Unusual? Yes--but also utterly enchanting. Even the smallest moments deliver glee. A llama with a gourmet appetite wants yummies. A traveler keeps misplacing his diary. A wannabe diva of a molten monster warbles a few notes that could break a champagne glass. This is a world of wild imagination, and so you pursue every side quest and peek into every nook, knowing that a surprise lies in wait.
All of those nooks burst with beauty, and become even more varied as you explore further. When you first arrive in the overworld near Ding Dong Dell, you'll be enthralled by the sun-drenched meadows and glistening waterways. But later, you roam golden deserts, icy plateaus, and misty swamps, where the eyes of crooked trees look upon you in displeasure. Cel-shaded games often sacrifice detail in lieu of bold outlines and primary colors, but Ni no Kuni doesn't use its style as a crutch. Rather, the cartoonish visuals are heightened by extraordinary visual details. In a Motorville shop, each storefront and hanging flower planter is given careful attention, making it the hometown you wish you had grown up in. As you make your way towards a village, your party visibly shivers from the cold. These excellent small touches are crucial in creating a sense of wonder.
The impact of the fantastic soundtrack cannot be overstated. A fairy village in Ni no Kuni isn't like a fairy village in any other game, and the music reflects as much. When you enter, the oom-pa-pas of tubas lend this place the exact right kind of circus atmosphere. Explore a dungeon and you hear a rising scale motif, which in turn raises the tension. And then there comes a moment when Oliver's friend Esther raises a musical instrument in song, warmly intoning the game's main theme without additional accompaniment. And it's here you recognize how much meaning this one tune possesses--and how amazing it is that it never grows tiresome, but rather, gains emotional power over time.
Much of the success of a role-playing game hinges on its world, its people, and its story, and Ni no Kuni is thankfully rich in all of those areas. But generally, interacting with the game is as joyous as watching and hearing it. Structurally, the game is much like many RPGs to come before it. Towns and dungeons are linked together by a massive overworld that you first navigate on foot, then by boat. Even later, you navigate by dragon, soaring through the skies with ease from one locale to the next. You also unlock the ability to quick travel to and from places you've already been, but in this world, such conveniences must be earned by dedicating a couple dozen hours first.
You spend a lot of time in combat. Connecting with enemies initiates battle, and Oliver is joined by two other party members on the field. But Oliver and his buddies don't have to do the fighting on their own, though they certainly can if you wish them to. Instead, they usually deploy creatures to do it for them, Pokemon-style. Each party member can equip up to three familiars, which means you have as many as 12 combatants at your disposal during battle, though only three at any given time. You gather creatures by fighting them: every so often, Esther gets the random chance to lull one into submission. You can then name the creature and add it to your stable
The action is typically a lot of fun. During combat, you control only one character/familiar at a time; the AI handles the other two participants. The action isn't exactly real-time, but you still maintain direct control, maneuvering into effective position to attack, defend, or unleash magic or other special skills. In the most challenging skirmishes, you must pay close attention to visual indicators to take a defensive position at just the right time, or to interrupt a creature's attack with a well-timed strike.
Later hours can have you flipping back and forth between characters madly, trying to maintain a proper balance of healing, offense, and defense, all the while being aware of your opponent's weaknesses, and trying to nab the healing and mana orbs they occasionally drop. Such battles are highly entertaining, and once all the systems are in place, you can rarely afford to be complacent.
Familiars level separately from their handlers, so the majority of battles end with a pronouncement that at least one pet or another has gained a level. (Fortunately, your 9 active pets gain experience even if you don't order them into combat.) The constant notifications give you a great sense of progress, which is important given the amount of grinding needed to keep a decent number of creatures ready for battle. Newly-captured familiars are weaklings, and it takes time to get them in tip-top shape. And even after spending significant time with them, some familiars just aren't that effective, rarely (if ever) getting used because there are battle-ready creatures that you've already leveled up. As a result, you'll probably have a number of reliable pets you keep with you at all times, and will switch out a few other slots here and there to take advantage of particular magical skills--or just for the thrill of seeing a new pet in action.
You can set basic behaviors for the AI party members during combat, but you don't have as many options as you do in the Tales game series, whose combat system bears a passing resemblance to Ni no Kuni's. It would have been nice if the game allowed you to set these behaviors outside of combat, but at least you have the option to do so during a fight. Given how quick the AI is to waste its magical energy when given the chance, nudging them in the right direction is crucial to success. Combat exhibits other quirks too: familiars getting stuck against each other or monsters, for instance, or party members whacking on baddies with their puny weapons when a familiar would be the better choice.
The possibility of bringing along an ineffective familiar might lead to frustration if you aren't careful (and sometimes, even if you are). There are some notable difficulty spikes which are compounded by potentially imbalanced parties. Yet even at its most challenging, it's hard not to appreciate the grotesqueries you face, and the possibility of getting to nab one for yourself. You won't add boss creatures to your pen, but that hardly makes the boss battles less rewarding. Bosses require the most party micromanagement, and are often a wonder to look at to boot. Among them are a slithering snake in Egyptian garb, hissing at you with its menacing purple tongue; a horned demon, its obese figure belted by gnarled branches; and a rubbery invertebrate with blinking lights rimming its bell and tentacles, giving it the look of a carnival ride.
Outside of the story quests are seemingly infinite side tasks to pursue, many of them focused on Oliver's ability to siphon excess amounts of emotions like love and ambition from passersby and offer them to brokenhearted citizens needing a pick-me-up. It's a cute and pervasive activity that makes perfect thematic sense within the narrative, though you aren't limited to such simple tasks. You can take down monsters to earn rewards, help a street vendor assemble the most delicious curry you ever did taste, and collect a sun-shaped creature in order to help a plant grow. Throw in a battle arena, an alchemy system, and hidden caves to explore, and you have more than enough to keep you busy for a while to come.
Ni no Kuni is a stupendous game because there's so much to do in it, and because all of it is just so good. The hallmark of the greatest RPGs is that you don't want to stop playing them, and Ni no Kuni proudly joins that elite group of games providing such an enticing world that you can't imagine never having visited it. The only problem, of course, is that you may never want to leave.

The Cannabis Papers: A citizen's guide to cannabinoids (2011)
By Publius
Keith Marker / PTSD Edition
Publius' Veterans Day cannabinoid science PTSD edition notes four 2014 PubMed articles on the cannabinoid system (CS) modulating re-homeostasis, our ability to heal. Today's Re-Homeostatic line-up links to CS PubMed articles discussing: brain injury combined with depression, diet and PTSD cues, facilitating fear extinction (and its recall), and a music therapist for World War I Shell Shock, Paula Lind Ayers.
With healing in mind, we highlight and honor US veteran Keith Marker; Marker served in Afghanistan, suffered suicidal PTSD upon returning home, and found CS relief via New Mexico's Medical Cannabis Program.
I. Re-Homeostasis (Brain Injury and PTSD) and the CS
"United States Veterans of the Iraqi (Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)) conflicts have frequently returned from deployment after sustaining mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and enduring stressful events resulting in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A large number of returning servicemembers have been diagnosed with both a history of mTBI and current PTSD. … These findings suggest Veterans with mTBI+PTSD perform significantly lower on neuropsychological and psychiatric measures than Veterans with mTBI-o or PTSD-o. The results also raise the possibility of persisting cognitive changes following mTBI sustained during deployment."
The Effects of Mild TBI, PTSD, and Combined Mild TBI/PTSD on Returning Veterans.

II. Re-Homeostasis (via Diet) and the CS
"The etiology and pathophysiology of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remains poorly understood. The nutritional deficiencies associated with the altered metabolic processes of PTSD have not previously been studied in detail. … The results of this initial study demonstrate that addressing the increased dietary requirements of PTSD can improve symptoms of the disease while eliminating significant side effects. A larger, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is warranted."
Administration of an amino Acid-based regimen for the management of autonomic nervous system dysfunction related to combat-induced illness.

J Cent Nerv Syst Dis. 2014 Oct 8;6:93-8. doi: 10.4137/JCNSD.S13793. eCollection 2014.
PMID: 25336998 [PubMed] Free PMC Article
Related citations
III. Re-Homeostasis (Anxiety Disorders/Fear) and the CS
"Anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress (PTSD), panic, and phobic disorders, can be conceptualized as a failure to inhibit inappropriate fear responses. … How might the cannabinoid system effect fear extinction? Collectively, translational evidence suggest that enhancing cannabinoid transmission may facilitate extinction learning and its recall, and that the cannabinoid system is a potential pharmacological target for improving the active learning that occurs during exposure-based behavioral treatments prompting future research in terms of mechanisms research, novel treatment approaches ('cognitive enhancers'), and pharmacotherapeutic drug discovery."
Cannabinoid modulation of fear extinction brain circuits: a novel target to advance anxiety treatment.
Rabinak CA, Phan KL.
Curr Pharm Des. 2014;20(13):2212-7.
PMID: 23829364 [PubMed - in process]

IV. Re-Homeostasis (Music Therapy/Shell Shock) and the CS
"Little is known about the therapeutic uses of music during the First World War. This historical study provides a biography of Paula Lind Ayers (1891-1974), a vocalist, actress, and YMCA Entertainer who became known as 'the girl who could sing away shell shock.' … Understanding Paula Lind Ayers' contribution to music therapy provides a deeper awareness of past therapeutic uses of music with soldiers who experienced shell shock. Such understanding helps shape the way we view the present conception of music therapy with veterans and how we might answer questions that will affect the future of the field."

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children Know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that Old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around. O, Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh And play just the same as you and me. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. Frosty the snowman knew The sun was hot that day, So he said, "Let's run and We'll have some fun Now before I melt away." Down to the village, With a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there all Around the square saying, Catch me if you can. He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler "Stop!" For Frosty the snow man Had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day." Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
