Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Accessible aromas of cherry, coffee and cola are punctuated by nuances of maple syrup. Suggestions of mushrooms and forest floor complete this wine's ample nose. The 2002 Botella's aromas follow through in the mouth, being accentuated by bright cherry fruit on the front of the palate. A rich middle with ripe complex tannins leads to balanced acidity on the finish.
"A superripe, rich and concentrated style, with lavish mocha-laced oak wrapped around tasty black cherry, plum and wild berry fruit flavors. Firmly tannic, which gives it a nice backbone. Finishes with a touch of heat, but also a long, plush, lingering aftertaste."

Wine Spectator
"The 2002 Pinot Noir Botella exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color as well as a tight but promising nose of cassis, macerated black cherries, forest floor, and subtle oak. Although still primary, it is loaded. It possesses a rich, full-bodied, pure palate with seamlessly integrated acidity and tannin. A 30+ second finish adds to the joy. While accessible, another 1-2 years of cellaring will result in something quite special."

Perfect, in every possible way!
The Villa is fantastic. Upon arrival, it was love at first sight! Great location, minutes from supermarkets, Outlets, parks, you name it! The house is cozy, well maintained and has a wonderful swimming pool, plus the advantage of having house holds and furniture that covers every thing you need in a home away from home. If you are looking for a great place to stay, with that "home" feeling, this is the place to be. The owner is a great person, always answering promptly to any kind of question or request you might have. The company that manages the Villa is excellent, as well. I just cannot put into words how great it was staying there. What I can say is that, together with the city, this Villa made my family's experience in Orlando area a fantastic one. If possible, we intend to return whenever it is possible!!! Nicolas Santo, Brasília, Brazil.
Magical Family Vacation
We had a wonderful vacation at the home. The home exceeded our expectations and was the perfect location for our family trip. The layout of the house was perfect for our family. The children enjoyed swimming in the pool in December. The photos and description accurately reflects the house and the property is well maintained. The owner provided information and promptly answered any questions we had. The neighborhood is nice and found neighbors friendly when walking to the playground. It was a great experience! I have recommended this property to friends.
Can't Wait To Return!!
We were amazed at how stunning this home is when we entered the front door. Straight ahead you can see the lake with the beautiful fountain. So perfect for those relaxing times, and great to feed the ducks on the shore. The free solar pool heat, free BBQ and free items for the kids were very much appreciated. Needless to say the kids loved the game room, big kids did too! This house had everything we needed from cooking needs in the kitchen to an abundance of towels and linens to even video games for the kids. We can't wait to return. This is the home for our holidays!! Thanks for such a great place to stay!

- great findmdguy43Dined on 7/19/2014Booked a table based on trip advisor rating. It was great, food service and wine. Highly recommend giving the crush of traffic and people of Rehoboth to visit JD's. Excellent food: great crab cakes, shrimp band lobster curry and scallops. WONDERFUL DESSERTS.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant surpriseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/10/2014JD's was not on our radar, but because it was affiliated with another restaurant we knew that was filled, we gave it a try for dinner. My filet mignonette was very tender, my wife's Chicken Oscar was delicious, our salads were fresh and crisp, and my wife's shrimp grits were unusual and quite enjoyable. Service was surprisingly quick - we got there just ahead of the evening rush, and they were more busy as we left. All in all, we will go back to JD's when in Lewes, a town with a number of good restaurants. Add this to the list for a pleasant meal at good value.Special Features:
- The following 37 reviews are from the JD's Cafe reviews archive.
- First time for dinnersamdeeVIPDined on 5/31/2014Have been to JD's for breakfast and have not been disappointed. This was our first time for dinner. First courses were fine; however, two of us that had red meat very disappointed. Cuts were very thin and contained fat and grisle. Other guests were satisfied with their dishes - a crab/lobster saute and gumbo. We thought the wines by the glass were pricey based on the menu choices. We would try it again, but avoid the red meat selections.Special Features:
- Amazing FoodDoslocosguysVIPDined on 4/20/2014We have been here many times and always enjoy ourselves! Love the taste-small plates and mains-regular dinner portions. The Caesar Salad, Asparagus Salads were incredible. They took off the Brussel Sprout Salad-little disappointed, but the Asparagus more than made up for this! Had our usuals, Blacked shrimp and scallops with the grits-delightful and delicious plus the chicken mio something-perfect! This time we had dessert and the cheesecake-pure heaven. We both had flights of wine-very nice touch and great to try new ones-wew will do the bottle instead. Server Christine and Alina were great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- first time and disappointedCaptPCVIPDined on 4/12/2014I had been hearing good reports about the changes at this restaurant so decided to give it a try. We were immediatley seated even though we were early for our reservation. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, the wine list was adequate and we ordered a bottle which was very good. We ordered calamari as an apettizer and this was a bit soggy and greasy. The disappointment came with the grouper entrée. It was so over cooked that it had the consistency of over cooked chicken. Overall the experience was good with the exception of my entrée but certainly not great. I hope that they get it right as it could be be a nice alternative to the downtown restaurants.
- Keeps Getting BetterDan1Dined on 2/28/2014Every time we go to JD's the experience and food just keep getting better. The Chef makes incredible dishes from the basics.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food was unique and flavorful.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014The food was unique and flavorful. The booths provide privacy. The server was friendly, helpful and we were seated and waited on as soon as we entered the restaurant. The server checked back with us several times to see if the food was okay and refreshed our drinks. We really like this restaurant because they don't serve the usual fare. They have a wonderful chef. We were there Valentine's Day and they gave all the ladies a red rose. They add special touches to everything they do.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Christmas EveMilton4Dined on 12/24/2013We wanted to take our sons from out of town for a nice Christmas Eve dinner and chose JD's. They loved it. The service was excellent. We all had the fried scallops which were delicious. The pino grigio was the best I'd ever had! The guys all had beer which they were very pleased with. It was perfect and we will return.Special Features:
- AMAZINGDoslocosguysVIPDined on 12/22/2013Went here for brunch with 3 friends and all of us were just blown away with the food...service and atmosphere! Had the Avacado BLT wonderful...Omelettes were huge and pancakes soft and fluffy!Special Features:
- Hidden GemOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/7/2013JD's Cafe is my not so secret top spot for dinner in Lewes Delaware. My wife and I dine out in that area probably 70 times a year and know every restaurant in town, and this has become our "go to" place this past year after the changes made with a new decor, new chef, and new menu. Especially welcome are healthier choices and the option to have a "taste size" portion of most of the dinner entrees and salads. We always make it a point to dine there every time we are in town, either by ourselves or with a group of friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!! The buildingwineloverDined on 10/27/2013Great food!! The building does not have much curb appeal, but the inside is nice and the food was awesome!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fill er upBeachEatsVIPDined on 10/17/2013JD's Filling Station maintains the casual ambience of its gas station legacy with numerous license plates and car memorabilia throughout. My wife had garlic chicken with mashed potatoes and a nice green salad with goat cheese. She enjoyed her meal considerably. I had the scallops with spinach and risotto. The scallops and spinach were tasty but the risotto was a bit ordinary. I had a really good French green bean salad as my appetizer. Neither of us had room for the desserts. We'll have to try them next time. Our server was Russian and he was very attentive and we had a nice conversation with him about his home country. All and all, we had a very pleasant evening and will keep this on our list for future trips to Lewes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Birthday CelebrationDoslocosguysVIPDined on 9/8/2013Celebrated our Mom's birthday. She loves the taste menu here. Five of us for dinner. Had two bottles of wine-perfect temperature and server knew his stuff. Ordered 2 soups-Clam Chowder-hot and very tasty. taste caesar salad and chicken-outstanding. Two Chopineao specials were wonderful! Lobster ravioli with the sauce-perfect. Neice once again had the bison burger and looked great. We had a cheesecake-light and delicious, Chocolate cake and bread pudding-all housemade and perfect. We have been here many of times and this place always amazes us on what an outstanding and creative job they do here! Looking forward to coming back next week, for Dad's birthday with a slightly larger group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food at the beachKirstenDined on 9/6/2013My husband and I really enjoyed our meal. I have celiac disease and the host was knowledgeable, and they were flexible as far as altering menu items to accommodate. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food reasonably pricedOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/4/2013Specials were terrific and their prime rib and steak rate high.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinner in Lewes Beach.OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/25/2013Great dinner in Lewes Beach. Our diubke stuffed lobster tails and shrimp with spinach over linguine was outstanding. This restaurant is a real find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant dinneriluv2eatDined on 8/19/2013We had a very good experience at JD's. Greeted warmly at the door and shown promptly to our table. Surprisingly, it was very quiet although it was a Monday night in the summer. Best sale of the day-half price bottles of wine. Good deal!! Anyway, the waitress was pleasant but not able to answer all our questions but went to the kitchen for a quick consultation. Food was good-nice to have tasting plate sizes as we were not famished. Nicely appointed dining area-in fact better than we expected. Will surely consider returning for another pleasant meal, especially given the variety and the portion sizes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing again!DoslocosguysVIPDined on 8/18/2013We have dined here several times and decided to bring our friends from out of the area. 5 Total and we were all blown away from the way the food and presentation was delivered! The chef prepared each of our taste impeccably-not needing anything extra. We orders 3 apts to split...2 bottles wine...(very nice wine list and reasonable. 6 taste plates for dinner and 2 mains. then shared a dessert of warm blueberry bread pudding. We were so stuffed but had such an array of items.. Pan seared scallops...ny strip...blacked shrimp...lobster ravioli..cheese plate and so much more.... the Tetake salad was the best around! Can not wait till we can go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food in Plain SurroundingsFrugalGastronomeVIPDined on 8/14/2013Don't be put off by the lack of fancy trappings as you drive by or walk up. The dishes were imaginative and expertly prepared. And the portions are ample. (The Rockfish special I ordered was available as a "main" or as a "taste" and when we asked about the sizes, it was obvious that the smaller portion on top of an appetizer would be plenty.)I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food -- very slow serviceDCnativeVIPDined on 8/10/2013We waited a 35 minutes between appetizer (which took 20) for our entrees. Just not what you expect at a neighborhood restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JDKeithVIPDined on 8/10/2013Cool place! The food was excellent. There were 6 people in our group and they all enjoyed their dinner. The overall experience was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great find!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/10/2013What a find! The food was so good and the service was fast and attentive. The local food was so fresh it literally was like eating fish caught that afternoon. The manager explained their process of going to the docks and buying small beaches for the night's dinner special. The crab soup was great as were the oysters. Another diner had the chicken mafioso and the prime rib and both were happy. The small plates allow for a healthier portion and more appetizer to try. I wild definitely come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Dinner Choice in LewesOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/2/2013JD's has been known as a breakfast/brunch/lunch place. But now it's a great dinner place at reasonable prices. Their new chef produces delicious, heart-healthy dinners that make you want to come back. And it's one of the FEW places in Lewes to take reservations!!! A good bet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousZaraVIPDined on 8/2/2013We had a wonderful dinner and dessert. Service was attentive and professional. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Utterly AmazingDoslocosguysVIPDined on 7/21/2013This is our 6th visit here and we are amazed at the food-service and overall feeling of this place. Oyster Rockefeller WONDERFUL-Tuna Tata-something delishes...Blackened Shrimp still want more... Can not wait to go back.. You would never know that this place does a full breakfast and lunch then serves this kind of food for dinner....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great "new" dining spot in Lewes DEOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/20/2013We have eaten at JDs many times over the years and always enjoyed it and recommended it to others. New this year is a nice remodelling, scaling back greatly on the garage theme, and now a new chef and new simpler menu with an emphasis on healthy entrees and optional small portions on almost all the dinner items, good for the waistline as well as the budget. Combined with an extra friendly staff, it's hard to beat choosing to dine here. And we dine out frequently at all the spots in Lewes and environs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food in a tourist townOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/13/2013The food was delicious and very well priced. Our waitress was friendly and made helpful suggestions.Special Features:
- Lewes GemNeedsAttn2detailVIPDined on 7/7/2013Great new dinner menu although JD's is historically known for breakfast and lunch. A new hit for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food in a Charming AreaOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/5/2013Don't miss this neighborhood gem in a charming, historic 1940's refurbished gas station near the DE beaches. Food was excellent and beautifully prepared. The bar had noteable beers and wines. We had a perfect and elegant early dinner with great service after a long day in the sun and they welcomed casual attire.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This was my first time. WeluckyrenoDined on 6/30/2013This was my first time. We dined with another couple you had experienced the restaurant with past owners. It was good but still has a ways to go to be considered a neighborhood gem. I would return.
- Taste & Mains???DoslocosguysVIPDined on 6/16/2013Father's Day we brought a party of 5 into JDs as it was recommended by friends. We were totally BLOWN AWAY! Love this taste and mains thing they have here. basically full and half portions-I like to taste many entrees and this gives you the opportunity to do such a thing. My niece had Bison Burger and totally enjoyed it. Dad had fish & chips was not on the menu-asked and the chef did prepare for us. Mom had the fresh breaded oysters and thought the meal was perfectly done-not over cooked! I had the NY Strip steak-done just right-Tuna appt was tasty and delish. The homemade bread pudding was and is creative not to mention the chocolate cake. We are looking forward to coming back to JDs on our next visit to Lewes.Special Features:
- JD's is well known for breakfast,Dan1Dined on 6/16/2013JD's is well known for breakfast, which is fantastic. But with a new Chef, menu and decor update, it is a go to place for dinner with specialties every night. If you go for lunch, which is also teffic, you must try the Savannah Burger. I am a resident and have not ties to this restaurant. Lots of great restaurants in Lewes, and you should add this to the list.Special Features:
- Such a mixed bag at this place...OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 6/15/2013Such a mixed bag at this place... Our waitress struggled to understand the wine flight setup, didn't know they had a children's menu despite the crayons and coloring pages the host had supplied my nephew, spilled oyster shells and ice cubes on one diner, came back to clarify orders multiple times, and generally seemed highly confused. Had she acknowledged that this was her first night on the job, we would certainly have been forgiving, but mistake after mistake was simply apologized for with a smile. That being said, the food was FANTASTIC. The three entrees that were ordered garnered sighs and mmmm's of appreciation from all the diners at the table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a wonderful diningOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 6/6/2013We had a wonderful dining experience. Service was terrific and food delicious. The only negative is that we had a special request for a simple dish but they couldn't accomodate us.Special Features:
- Not just a diner!LynnVIPDined on 5/25/2013formerly a diner, this place serves an awesome dinner so don't be fooled by the facade. Had a group of 7 and meals ranged from blackened shrimp/grits, to osso bucco, to sword fish. Everyone loved! When you don't want to hassle with parking in Rehoboth but want a great meal, this is your place!Special Features:
- Not a "crab house"!MomnipDined on 5/24/2013IF you've enough of the shore area "crab house" menu, then this is the place for you. The owner greeted us and give us an overview of the new menu (due to new chef). Buffalo meat (extensive creative burger menu but also steaks and an Olso Bucco special) is featured along with chicken and other fresh seafood. Salads were enjoyable and 2 large served our family of 4 adults along with 1 bowl of the soup of the day which we all shared too (excellent seafood chowder). We also shared some fresh oysters which were as fresh as they get and served perfectly. Almost every entry has a "Taste" and "Main" option which enabled our lighter eaters to enjoy a whole meal but with smaller plate size (luncheon). The place is freshly decorated + clean too.Special Features:
- Tastes-small platesDoslocosguysVIPDined on 5/19/2013We have eaten here many times for breakfast and lunch with an occasional dinner. Love the new chef and his creations. Totally remodeled interior with warm tones of wood and greens. Much relief from the previous dinner menu of diner food. We had Taste of Lobster with sauce-done perfectly. Jerk Chicken salad with cilantro dressing-fresh and innovative. Maryland Crab cake broiled-no filler here with potatoes and the Thai Curry saute over risotto-prefect. We were so full with 4 taste-no room for the tempting housemade bread pudding-warm peach with vanilla ice cream. Looking forward to coming back.Special Features:

Size Zero
Insecure, uncomfortable, ugly and fat?
Look at pictures of our icons in the media, magazines and television and this is what some of us start to feel.
Just because some celebrities look like this, it doesn't mean they are beautiful. There was a documentary recently about extreme weight loss, and the impact it had on me was shocking.
Trying to achieve this beautiful size zero look is dangerous, with some celebs having even died to look ridiculously thin.
Karen Carpenter died of a heart attack in 1983 because she constantly battled to be thin and anorexia nervosa killed her because her eating habits became a disorder. Her heart attack was caused by heartbeat irregularities brought on by chemical imbalances associated with anorexia nervosa and malnutrition. She was a well famous singer and the press and the public were very shocked when they heard about it.
Please don't be tempted to look like this because they put themselves in danger to be this thin. You all must have heard of the likes of Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Mary-Kate Olsen.
Yes, they're famous, rich and pretty but they are all terribly underweight. I bet all of you girls sit and look at these mags and as I do, think I wish I was that skinny. But you're not realising it's not beautiful to be that way. These celebs go to extreme lengths to achieve this horrible look.
Marilyn Monroe, the most gorgeous woman of all time was a voluptuous size 16, would that happen nowadays?
All I want to say is that you are YOU and you should stay healthy. Don't feel pressured by the media, because you could end up dead.
Sub-Ed Note: Although less common, boys can suffer from anorexic disorders and body image pressure too.

i agreee!
i would neverrrrrr want to be that skinny :|
Commented 59 months ago - 27th October 2009 - 06:48am
its all stupid!
it shouldnt matter wether your black white or blue
skinny or "fat"
these days your fat if you dont wear under a size 10.
as long as your happy as who you are does it really matter?
all the gossip magazines and tv programmes make it all a lot worse knocking everyone down and making them feel rubbish. it's not just size that people judge you for these days it's what you wear were you live and what hair and make up you wear. and you get criticised for doing something wrong or wearing something the wrong way. society needs to realise that even snide little comments towards celebrities in magazines affects us. cause we realise that we look like that sometimes so there must be something wrong with us and take the criticism personally. they complain about celebrities being ultra skinny but they force them to do it as they call them fat if there bones dont stick out. and then they get dangerously skinny and the magazines still have a go at them for that. so what are they suppoused to do. It's all a vicious cycle. but people complain about what the magazines say yet they still buy them and read all the crap in them !!!!

You claim that you're a good man.
You believe in God.
Believe that he'll be there to save you.
Well, where is he now?
God fucking called in sick today.
Your savior has turned his back on you.
You pray so hard on bloody knees, to a false God
Who would never grant you the forgiveness you ask for in vain.
You know damn well that you don't deserve anything more than a bullet in your head.
I hope you burn in hell,
You robbed me of my innocence.
The only thing I had left.
I try so hard to erase all the memories,
But they still remain.
Reminding me of how much I fucking hate you.
I need your end.
I want your demise.
Don't ask me why--
I'll sew your fucking lips shut.
Make one wrong move, and I'll end your pathetic existence.
I won't rest until everything you love has been destroyed.
I'll slit your wrists; watch you bleed.
I want you to feel the pain that I've lived with my entire life.
Feeling caged inside,
The monster you've created has escaped.
Look at me, so I can see the light escape from your eyes.
I want to be the last thing you see before you die.

So many people have had the same problem and only a few of us have probably not thrown out the silicone wipe! Add the silicone to the rubber hose and it gets pretty slick! So much so that it doesn't stick to itself causing the binding so many have experienced! I wiped mine down when I first got it and do it once or twice a year when it feels like it needs it.
As another reviewer stated, I also relieve the pressure from the system when I am done with it just to protect the hose. This also makes it easier to retract and store the hose on the reel.
The overall quality seems fair to good though an exceptional model would be made of steel and probably cost twice as much! Still, for the home shop (this is hung on a rafter above my '71 Mustang) this does a great job of getting out of my way when it's time to clean up!

I bought this for my husband. He likes the flexibility of the hose and it reels in well but the outer casing seems rather flimsy. I'm hoping it holds up well but he can be hard on his tools.

It reels in pretty well and the hose is nice and flexible. The outer casing is more flimsy than I expected--hopefully it doesn't have any cracking issues.

While it may not be the most expensive industrial hose reel it does a good job in a personal garage setting. Just remember to let the air out before retracting it.

I really like this hose real. I have only used it a few times but it works great. I think it is a really good deal compared to the other hose reals I saw on line and this one was a lot cheaper.

I like this little unit. It's perfect for what I need- a way to not trip over the air hose, keep it contained. I used a less expensive open reel and am replacing that with this unit. Just not 100% sure I wouldn't have jumped up to a larger hose and lenght.

Just built a two bay garage with a lift on one side. Mounted in the center, the retractable hose works great and just the right length to reach everywhere including just outside the door.
via sears.com
been wanting one of these for a long time, and finaly got around to buying this one. I have a small wood shop and got tired of triping over my compressor hose when useing my air nailers this was a good choice for the money. wish I hadnt waited so long.

My only negative would be that the leader hose is only 3 feet long, but other than that I am very pleased with the product.

Catholic clerics and pilgrims visiting St Peter's basilica on Tuesday expressed shock over a scandal that has shaken the Vatican and led to the arrest of the pope's butler, fearing it would hurt both the pontiff and the Church.
"It's awful and very sad that something like that can happen right at the heart of the Vatican," said David Kaberia, a priest from Meru in Kenya, standing under the sun in a queue snaking through half of St Peter's Square to tour one of the holiest sites of Roman Catholicism.
"This is an inside job by greedy people and I think it will inevitably affect the Church worldwide because this is the centre of the Church's power," he told Reuters.
The scandal exploded last week when, within a few days, the head of the Vatican's own bank was sacked, the pope's butler was arrested over leaks of sensitive documents and a book was published alleging conspiracies among cardinals and corruption in the Church's financial dealings with Italian business.
"This is a warning for all of us in the Chuch community, that we should only look after spiritual things and not be corrupted by matters of money, career and power," said Father Francesco, a priest frorm Florence.

Is the heart overlooked when it comes to intelligence?
The center of the nervous system, the brain, has been popularly defined as the fundamental core of intellectual activity. Yet, in my Bioelectricity class with Professor Nina Tandon, we learned about recent research suggesting that information processing in the body may in fact be more distributed.
For example, there is increasing evidence suggesting that the cardioelectromagenetic field can actually affect human beings in close proximity.These signals are stronger in amplitude when in direct contact, but are still detectable up to several feet away from the source. Through these interactions, the heart transfers energies between human beings. The heart can therefore be characterized as the engine for distributing and controlling energy of the human body.
These extraordinary results illustrate that the heart is not only responsible for blood regulations, but is also a very powerful intelligence system.
This made me wonder, could intelligence be distributed through the body in ways we might not expect? Could this information sent to the brain perhaps even influence emotional states? Or provide insight into some of the unexplained links between "mental" and "bodily" diseases (eg Alzheimer's and cardiac disease etc)?
See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3547419/
and http://books.google.com/books?id=pvkpdNHhI6cC for more details
Given that the heart and other organs are frequently excluded from the
intellectual discussion, I would like to ask the Ted community, how do
these new findings affect how we view intelligence? How will our
interactions with each other differ if we view more of our bodies as

Yusuf KhanApr 11 2013: Hi Hadar
I feel that indeed our bodies are a spectacular creation which we don't use our minds to decide how they should operate. They instinctively do what they need to, to survive and to accommodate to conditions.
Generally we as humans cannot really has the level of control of our bodies to harness the capabilities that exists, though i know that in cases such as monks who sit in meditation practicing for years can do feats which we cannot totally comprehend, though they can due to they level of control they have over their bodies.
Although there exists intelligence in our bodies which we don't fully appreciate, we can progress in this aspect if we are prepared to dedicate more time to it.
I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Hadar CohenApr 11 2013: HI Yusuf!
It seems you are saying that our bodies are actually superior to our brains. This is a fascinating idea to think about. Our society constantly appears to dictate otherwise, with phrases such as "mind over body".
I am curious about how we as humans can control our bodies in order to appreciate the complexities of our intelligence. I do think though that we do need to dedicate more time to uncovering more about these concepts.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Steve CApr 13 2013: Thanks for the question. (I would've asked it myself if I weren't afraid of it being deleted for being too new-agey & unfounded.)
I'm waffling on whether or not people believe in the brain over the body... I'm thinking this specifically because of the quote: "People may forget the things you did, but they'll never forget how you made them feel," (or something like that.)
"... as humans can control our bodies "
Maybe if we ease-up on the idea of "control" would help. [sentence broken, you get the idea.]
Apr 12 2013: I agree with Yusaf, there are certain people who are capable of controlling our bodies and I liked the example he gave with the Buddhist Monks! But the average person doesn't have the patience and drive to tap into that inner power and capabilities. Our bodies are wondrous things that we continue to learn more and more about each day, and this question is no exception. I don't know the electrical and biological anatomy of the human body as well as I would like, but Allan and Colleen stated below, it comes as no surprise that the heart "controls" our emotions. There are thousands of neurons found in the muscle mass of the heart! And there are so many different forms of exercise and rehabilitation that focuses on this body/mind relationship that it can't simply be ignore.

I've Been Sentenced to American Idol Jail
On September 26th I'm going to prison…American Idol prison.
My jail cell will be at West Village in Dallas and I'll be there from 5am on September 26th - 9am on September 27th
If you've followed my story over the last year, you'd know that I was nearing the completion of my debut full-length CD when I made it to Hollywood on American Idol, Season 10. I was fortunate enough to be a Top 12 Guy this year before leaving the Idol Stage…or was I fortunate? To continue in the American Idol competition, I had to sign a contract during the Top 40 Round that prevented me from signing a recording contract, a management contract, a booking contract, and it prevented me from releasing any music for several months.
The reality of this contract is that it has felt like being in prison because I haven't been able to do what I love most: share my music with others. I've been sitting on this album for several months. So I'm finally going to be set free from American Idol jail at the end of this month, which happens to correspond with the release of my debut full-length CD 'Rise and Fall' on iTunes on September 27th.
So for the final 24 hours of being in American Idol prison, I'm literally putting myself in prison. Yes, I will be in a physical jail cell in West Village Shopping Center in Dallas, Texas. Starting at 5am on September 26th, I will get into the jail cell in the parking lot outside of Mi Cocina, and I will live in that jail cell until 9am on Tuesday, September 27th. Please come visit me if you are in the Dallas area. I'll be taking donations for Kidd's Kids because the first track on the CD is this year's Kidd's Kids song, and all proceeds from that song will go to Kidd's Kids as well. Everyone who brings me a Kidd's Kids donation will be put into a raffle for a free Tim Halperin concert at your home, office, school church, or wherever you want. There will also be some free frozen yogurt and other goodies throughout the day.
If you are not in the Dallas area, the whole thing will be live on my UStream Channel, and I'll be interacting with people there as well. So come visit me in prison and get excited with me about finally being able to release my debut album 'Rise and Fall'!

Winter family night ideas
If queuing up a movie has become your default family night activity, it's time to shake things up. Here's a list of fun ideas you can do without dealing with the freezing weather outside.
Set up a homemade hot chocolate bar.
Give your cup of Swiss Miss an upgrade by going all out. Use milk, cocoa powder, sugar and a pinch of salt to brew a batch of hot cocoa on the stove and put bowls of various toppings out on the table. Some ideas: crushed chocolate mint Oreos, caramel crumbles, mini marshmellows, red and green sprinkles and of course whipped cream. Sipping your warm drinks together will give your family a chance to simply talk and hang out. If your family is too busy during the week to share meals together, this time will feel extra meaningful.
Get competitive.
If the board games you have seem a bit tired, try Shake Up, which Real Simple magazine deemed "the new Sorry." In this dice-rolling game, players try to be the first to get their pawns through the "safe zone holes." Each round only takes about 15 minutes, allowing time for multiple games – and winners.
Fill a photo album together.
Instead of relying on Facebook to hold all your family memories, create some actual, physical albums. Before family night, go to fotofriend.com to get your Facebook photos printed, as well as other pics you are relying on your phone or computer to store. They'll be shipped straight to your house. Go photo album shopping with your kids so they can help pick out the albums. Then, you're ready to get started. Your family will have a great time laughing together and reliving your most special memories. And at the end of the night, you'll have a priceless keepsake.
Learn something new together.
Whether it's getting everyone in the kitchen to cook a new dish, building a model, painting a birdhouse or learning a new foreign language through a video series together, everyone in the family will get something out of this family night idea. If you choose to go the cooking route, give your child ownership of a task – like getting all the ingredients to and from the fridge if you have a young child or making a side dish if you have an older child. It gives a feeling of accomplishment that makes the meal that much yummier.
Write letters to extended family members.
Your kids' grandparents or favorite aunt will love getting an unexpected surprise in the mail, written by you and your kids. Helping your kids think of their recent accomplishments will make them feel proud. It's also the perfect time to tell your favorite family stories, making your kids feel valued and happy to be apart of the fam.

Video Hardware Acceleration For WebKitGTK+
Published on 29 July 2013 12:12 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
Video hardware acceleration is being worked on for WebKitGTK+ with composited video support.
WebKitGTK+ has been worked on a lot lately from
Clutter acceleration
for the GTK+ version of the WebKit rendering engine to
being ported to Wayland
Igalia has been working on accelerated composite video support with a goal of having a hardware-accelerated path for playback of 1080 high-definition video content. While they have 1080p video playback working with WebKitGTK+, they are waiting for improvements to land in GStreamer 1.2, the VA-API video acceleration back-end for GStreamer needs to be updated to the new API, there's some tearing issues to work through, and they are still working on CPU/GPU/memory optimizations.
For details on this composited video support work being done for WebKitGTK+ by Igalia can be found in

It has been pretended by some, (and in England especially,) that inventors have a natural and exclusive right to their inventions, and not merely for their own lives, but inheritable to their heirs. But while it is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from nature at all, it would be singular to admit a natural and even an hereditary right to inventors. …….. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society. It would be curious then, if an idea, the fugitive fermentation of an individual brain, could, of natural right, be claimed in exclusive and stable property. If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Isaac McPherson, August 13, 1813
I assume it is a Lemma, that it is the invention of the machine itself, which is to give a patent right, and not the application of it to any particular purpose, of which it is susceptible. If one person invents a knife convenient for pointing our pens, another cannot have a patent right for the same knife to point our pencils. A compass was invented for navigating the sea; another could not have a patent right for using it to survey land. A machine for threshingwheathas been invented in Scotland; a second person cannot get a patent right for the same machine to threshoats,a thirdrye, a fourthpeas, a fifthclover, &c.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Isaac McPherson, August 13, 1813
As sensible as this is, patents for applications is something drug companies are allowed to apply for, and use to keep generics off the market.
The saying there shall be no monopolies, lessens the incitements to ingenuity, which is spurred on by the hope of a monopoly for a limited time, as of fourteen years; but the benefit of even limited monopolies is too doubtful to be opposed to that of their general suppression.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, July, 1788
By monopolies both Jefferson and Madison were talking about copyrights and patents. Jefferson seems to have thought we'd be better off without them. Today our government seems happy to just give control of the internet to the entertainment industry. And extra extra long copyrights. All bow down to Disney.

1999 Honda CR-V Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 17 reviews
Add 20-hp to the engine, and the 1999 Honda CR-V is pretty much the same car it has been. The Honda "Real-Time" 4WD is really popular. This system means normal driving is with the front wheels, and a computer sensor will automatically switch to 4WD when necessary.
There is plenty of room for 5 passengers and storage, independent suspension (unusual for SUVs), and an anti-lock brake system. A 5-speed manual transmission is now standard on the 4WD package, though the 4-speed automatic is available as an option.
Of course we will never confuse the CR-V with a Jeep or another more powerful SUV. Instead, this vehicle is relatively inexpensive to buy, is quite economical to maintain, and will do all the everyday jobs just as well as any SUV on the road. If you can find one that doesn't already have a driver, you can have your own for about $7,000 to $9,000.
The side-opening tailgate is practical - especially for smaller people. The spare tire is mounted on the outside, allowing for more storage space. Consumers rate this vehicle very highly, though comment the seats could be more comfortable for longer drives.

Gamers lined up outside of the Best Buy off of Richmond for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2".
Though the electronic store closed its doors at 9 p.m., a select few were allowed inside for a hands-on sneak peek of the game.
"If you're like a gamer like I am, play nonstop like into the game, you understand you're into the whole story," Kelly Cevallos said.
Kelly was second in line, all bundled up and in good company next to Eric Cevallos.
"I don't know what time we're gonna go home and I don't know how it's gonna work out for me," Eric said. "I'm gonna play all night and try to go to work the next day.
Apparently the game is totally worth a sick day. Die-hard gamers were also given the opportunity to play in the Magnolia Design Center, fully equipped with surround sound and several controllers.
"It is first-person shooter so you when you're in the game, you actually see what it is your looking at, your rifles or whatever weapon you have," Best Buy supervisor David Hill said.
The CEO of Gamestop said they have seen the highest preorders in history and the game is already on track to break records and rake in millions.
That includes the $60+ each person outside will spend, even though some said they were only out there for support.
"I'm more like a supportive wife to my die-hard husband. I'm staying in the cold and waiting for him while he gets his game," Andressa DeLeon said. "I'll play a little, but I'm not a die-hard gamer."

Why markets are shaking
Headlines pin recent volatility on fears of less stimulus from the Federal Reserve. But the deeper driver is what was responsible for the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
If you read the papers or scan the headlines, folks are dismissing recent market volatility as a tepid reaction to the potential for the Federal Reserve to cut back on its $85 billion-a-month QE3 stimulus at its policy meeting next week. As if $10 billion or $20 billion less in liquidity dumping each month, when the banks are sitting on $1.8 trillion in excess reserves, is going to make a bit of difference.
The real reason is something I previewed in a recent column: Japan's efforts to destroy the yen in a last-gasp attempt to revitalize its stagnant economy. There were unintended consequences as investors realize that, in economics as in life, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
The Japanese didn't think things through, didn't account for the fact that higher inflation (their goal) would rattle its bond market (threatening insolvency if interest rates rise too much) before providing any lift to its deflation-addled economy. As a result, Japan's stock market recently flirted with bear market territory as the government risks losing control.
The yen's rapid decline and subsequent reversal has put massive pressure on emerging market economies. Stocks in these areas have been shaken. As have currency rates, forcing Brazil, Turkey, India, and Indonesia to all take direct action recently to control the situation. Stock markets in Thailand and the Philippines just suffered their worst one-day losses on Tuesday since 2011.
My recommendation to bet against the area via the Direxion 3x Inverse Emerging Markets (EDZ) is up 23% since May 23 as a result.
That's because, as I warned in the column, Japan was essentially stealing export competitiveness from its neighbors. The world's major economies, desperate to keep markets calm and keep alive the promise that cheap money solves everything, looked the other way and didn't reprimand Tokyo for clear and blatant currency manipulation in pursuit of mercantilist policies.
That's already starting to drag down emerging economies. The Philippines suffered a 7% drop in exports in April. Industrial production in India came in below expectations. And over the weekend, China reported poor retail sales and industrial production numbers.
Even Japan's economy has yet to see a benefit from its currency destruction. Machine orders fell nearly 9%, missing consensus estimates. Its trade deficit widened as energy and commodity import prices rose faster than exports gained.
In response to the ongoing weakness, I'm adding a short against CEMEX (CX) to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio. Material stocks like CX are leading the latest phase of market weakness.
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended CX short and EDZ long to his clients.

hey IQ168,
You nailed Keynesian non-sense. Krugman said about the stimulus "it does not matter what we spend the money on"! That is a somewhat logical conclusion to be drawn from Keynesian Economics if you are an idiot. But hey that conclusion, however, twisted, fits the Progressive-Big-government agenda so run with it. Ok, so all we need to do is spend 1 trillion dollars hiring millions of people to dig holes in the ground and millions more to fill them back up! Gee problem solved, economic growth, and wealth creation will be ours! Now, most people would say that is non-sense. But hay That is what Krugman and many supporters of Keynesian Economic SAY. You say, well Krugman did not mean that. Well, what he actually did say was is that "we could spend the money preparing for an alien invasion which will never come'!!! HE SAID it! That is no different than the digging hole senerio, no economic growth, no wealth created, just a pile of debt. These people believe this non-sense and govern that way.
One of the main problems with applying Keynesian Economics in this manner is that for spending to be stimulitive (if, and a big if, spending is ever really stimulitive, which I doubt) AND make Economic sense; the money has to be spent on useful, productive, wealth producing stuff. Roads and Bridges MIGHT qualify for this, but only a tiny fraction of the stimulus was spent this way. And if those roads and bridges go "nowhere" .... Well ..... I challenge anyone to come up with ONE TRILLION dollars in such productive expenditures in any 12 month period. Therefore, applying Keynesian economics this way guarantees a waste and actually a drag to the nation, since the money is borrowed and we get to pay for the waste in interests FOREVER.
What Keynes actually said about government spending being stimulative, is that since people save say 5 cent of every dollar and spend only 95 cents it is less stimulitive than if the government taxed and took the dollar from the individual and spend 100 cents. 100 cents being greater economic activity than 95 cents. Secondly, Keynes suggested that we borrow money in bad times and RUN SURPLUSES in boom times. See a problem here? Progressives are quick to talk about the spending part, but have you EVER heard one talk about NOT SPENDING in boom times? Of course not!
Do know something about the Japan deal with the US in treasuries. Since, 1986 or so they bought everything up and this continued for about 20 years. They hit a wall and tried to deflate. They still have a ton of US treasuries and want out. They cannot go anywhere with this and they know and we cannot pick them up as we have nothing to pick them up with. Broke is broke. Time to pay the piper for all.
tic toc tic toc tic toc, hmmm wonder how much more of this stimuli the idiotic fed is going to pump into an economy that's in ZERO recovery without it??? hmmmm, eventually the well of phony money printing will run dry then what????? blame Bush, no, he's been outta the picture for 5yrs now, that's not gonna work anymore, .......I'm sure some blame game rhetoric will surface but....
and obviously this idiotic Stalinist regime doesn't know or care what it's doing to get the economy going but I'll tell you filthy democraps what to do:
get the hell outta the way of the free market system that what you do!!!!!
hmmmm, what else..... let's face it people, the idiots that voted for this regime not once but TWICE are responsible for this utter and complete disaster of a economy, the Stalinist machine in overdrive with the IRS targeting conservative groups, the NSA data mining not for , terrorist activity bullshiiiiiiiiiiit, didn't that pig messiah say the war on terror is over???? so what's the META data for exactly?? I'll tell you but shhhhhhhhhhh! it's a secret between me and you here it is:
that META data is just another extension of the tyrannical IRS scam, deliberately targeting, on purpose conservative groups, now this META data is going to be used to target any group, media or otherwise to get info on Republican/Independent's and get this: even the liberal media like the AP to get dirt on anyone in case they should stray from the osama agenda, or any such group that opposes that piece of shiiiit vermin that's in the white house, simple as that, and those of you that voted for that pig may you all burn in the deepest pit in hell. enjoy

Advisory group presents road maintenance alternatives
By Meg Olson
didnt come up with any silver bullets for you, but
theres been a lot of thought, effort and insight,
said Blaine city assistant public works director Steve Banham,
presenting the recommendations of the advisory committee
on street maintenance, or MOST, committee.
The ten-person committee made up of local business owners, property owners and residents, has met five times since March, reviewing the citys program to maintain streets and developing recommendations on how to improve it and how to pay for it. On May 20, they told city council the city needs to boost its street maintenance program and find new ways to pay for it.
The consensus was that maintaining streets is important to the community, Banham said. There was especially concern from people who have invested in streets through local improvement districts who now see their investments literally eroding.
The committee evaluated three levels of service for roads, starting with the paving industry standard, which recommends crack sealing paved roads every five years and repaving every 15 years. To maintain all city roads at this level would cost $318,000 a year beyond the $600,000 annual street operations budget, which includes everything from potholes to street sweeping. By waiting longer to seal or repave roads, the committee developed a second level of service, which dropped the cost per year to an extra $265,000. They also looked at a lower level, at $134,820, which would stop asphalt maintenance on all but arterials and collectors and replace other paved streets with cheaper chip-seal. Thats what it would take if we only had $134,000 per year chipsealing all our smooth new roads. said public works director Grant Stewart.
The city also collects an additional $350,000 from taxpayers through the residential street levy, which expires in 2006. Those funds are specifically earmarked for debt service and capital improvements of the citys residential streets they paid for improvements to downtown residential streets over the last 10 years but the city cant use the money to maintain the streets it rebuilds.
The committee recommended a combination of all three service levels to trim the budget but keep asphalt roads in good shape: arterials and collectors would get top shelf maintenance, which would be less frequent for residential streets. Existing rural chipsealed roads would stay that way and not be paved. To implement their recommendation would cost the city an extra $242,000 per year.
There was really no way we could come up with the money for level A maintenance, said committee member Kathleen Capson. If we could it would save you money in the long run but its really a matter of finding the money now. Stewart explained the more regular maintenance streets have, the longer they last and the longer the city could put off expensive road rebuilding.
A combination of smaller sources was recommended to fill in the funding void and pay for more street maintenance. The committee recognized there are non-residents who use our streets and it was preferable to have a revenue package tied to use, Banham said. Topping the list of revenue possibilities was a lift on the existing residential street levy to include maintenance dollars, a proposition which would need to go to the voters.
Other options included transferring the cost of street lighting to the electric utility, where it would become part of rates, thereby freeing up $34,000 a year in the street maintenance and operations fund.
Increasing the city gambling tax, increasing tax on cable TV companies and a business and occupation tax on gross sales similar to that levied by the city of Bellingham were also considered. What may need to happen in a larger sense is to figure out where street maintenance stands with everything else. Some other things the city does may need to be cut, said committee member David Gagnon. Maintaining streets is a core function of city government.
Banham said the committee was still looking for out-of-the-box creative funding options. Why dont we approach a big insurance company and sell them naming rights, suggested city council member Mike Myers. How about Safeco Street?
The committee recommendation will be on the agenda at community meetings, planned for 7 p.m. June 4 at the Blaine Senior Center and June 6 at the Semiahmoo fire station. They will be officially incorporated into the six-year transportation plan which council will consider at a public hearing planned for June 10. That plan will rank street projects for 2003-2008 and consider the option of a replacement for the residential street levy in 2007 that might incorporate language to address maintenance concerns.

Depression Health Center
Generic Antidepressants: What You Need to Know
The Food and Drug Administration sees no difference between brand-name and generic medications for depression. Most psychiatrists readily prescribe generics as effective copies of the original.
That said, it is not at all rare for patients who switch to a generic from a brand-name medication to experience a difference. Sometimes they feel a return of the old sadness, anxiety, and helplessness that the antidepressant helped to lift. Other times, they get an unusual jolt of the same side effects that hit when they began taking the first drug.

Postpartum Depression: More Common Than You Know
Tina Merritt, now 39, of Virginia Beach, Va., had heard of postpartum depression when she was pregnant seven years ago. But when she gave birth to her son, Graham, she expected nothing but joy as she and her husband welcomed the baby boy who would be the first grandchild on both sides of their families."It took me a while to get pregnant, and it was a huge deal for everyone," Merritt says."I worked right up to the end of my pregnancy and felt great. I'd planned so long for this baby, I really...
Read the Postpartum Depression: More Common Than You Know article > >
There's not been a "systematic problem" with generic antidepressants, says Jonathan Edward Alpert, MD, PhD, chief of clinical psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
"In general," he says, "they've been very good. But doctors need to be vigilant."
Differing Responses to Generic Antidepressants
There are scattered reports of people experiencing a return of depression symptoms -- or side effects -- when they go on generics.
In one recent study, a group of Canadian psychiatrists described seven cases in which patients with depression were taking Paxil or Celexa. When their medication was switched to the generics -- paroxetine and citalopram – they experienced a relapse of their depression. Other people with depression have reported a recurrence of side effects when they switched to generics, and one report showed that switching from one generic to another can also result in a relapse.
The Difference Between Generic and Brand-Name Antidepressants
Usually it isn't that the generics are inferior to the brand name drugs. But generics may be different in ways that are slight but have impact.
The FDA requires that generics provide blood levels of a drug that are 80% to 125% of what the brand name drug produces. However, the generic antidepressant may be formulated with different non-active ingredients -- the stuff that binds and coats the pills – which can affect the rate at which a drug is released. Also, generics aren't generally tested in a wide variety of patients. So blood levels may vary more than the FDA-established limits in people with certain genetics or medical conditions.
With somewhat older antidepressants, such as fluoxetine (Prozac), several different manufacturers make the generic antidepressants, each using different non-active ingredients. Thus, each generic brand may have slightly different effects.
"In general, generics have been as effective as brand-name antidepressants. And they're less expensive, so it makes sense to use them," says Alpert "But," he adds, "the differences for a given individual might be enough to throw off that individual's response or to cause additional side effects."
Making Adjustments With Generic Antidepressants
Gabrielle Melin, MD, a psychiatrist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, agrees.
"In my experience it's a minority, but if someone says, 'I switched to generic citalopram and went downhill,' I'm going to pay attention. I'll consider other factors that may have brought back the symptoms. But if the patient can afford the brand name, we may switch back, or we may try some other medication. It depends on the patient."
Sometimes, therapists say, it's just a matter of adjusting the dose. The same patient who did well on 20 micrograms of Celexa might need, say, 30 or 40 milligrams of the generic citalopram to get the same effect.
