Depression is not a natural part of growing old. Insted, it's a medical condition that should be treated aggressively.
Depression in older adults, or in anyone, is a serious illness. Some groups are at higher risk, but the average older person is not depressed any more than a young person. Depression affects about 7 million out of the 39 million adults older than 65 in the U.S. Non-Hispanic white men older than 85 have the highest rates of suicide. Many of these men visited their doctor within the last month. Factors that may add to older adults' risk for depression is losing control over changes related to the aging process and losing people that they love.
Depression is often not diagnosed because of stereotypes that family, caregivers, or even health care providers have that older adults are depressed in general. Older adults may mask their depression by complaining about a physical problem, so diagnosis can take longer.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, these are typical signs of depression:
Sleep problems, including too little, too much, or rising earlier than desired
Decreased pleasure and interest in previously enjoyed activities
Decreased energy or concentration
Increase or decrease in appetite
Feelings of hopelessness or helplessness
Thoughts of death or suicide
Self-destructive and suicidal behavior
Older adults are more likely to die by suicide. Of every 100,000 people ages 75 and older, 16.3 died by suicide. This figure is higher than the national average of 11.3 suicides per 100,000 in the general population.
Depression often occurs at the same time as another serious illness, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
Health care providers look for symptoms of depression that continue for weeks at a time. If you have symptoms, your provider will also do a physical exam and rule out other causes for the symptoms. These can include certain medications or medical conditions. A person who is physically ill and not getting better often has an underlying depression. Medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both can be effective in treating depression. Mild cases of depression may be eased by psychotherapy alone. People with moderate to severe depression often need antidepressant medication.
You can help prevent depression by staying active and being connected to other people through family, community activities, senior groups, or a religious affiliation.
If you notice signs of depression in yourself, a friend, or a family member, don't wait until it becomes severe. Talk with your health care provider about your own symptoms. Or talk to the person with depression, and encourage him or her to speak with a doctor and seek treatment from a mental health professional.

The Kansas City Chiefs need a second wide receiver. The Chiefs pick 21st in the draft this year and according to most draft pundits it is an unfavorable spot to pick a wide receiver. This coupled with the fact that most rookie wide receivers are not that productive in their first couple of years lends proof that the Chiefs should dip into the wide receiver free agency pool.
For the first time in a long time the Kansas City Chiefs look like an attractive option for free agents, this holds especially true for a free agent wide receiver. Who would not want to play opposite Dwayne Bowe who will most likely get double covered most of the time?
With the threat of lockouts, franchise tags, and contract extensions looming, we will not know for sure how the list of free agent receivers will pan out but we can surely speculate. So without further adieu here is a list of possible wide receiver free agents (in no particular order):
More after the jump…
- Vincent Jackson (SD)
- Sidney Rice (MIN)
- Santonio Holmes (NYJ)
- Braylon Edwards (NYJ)
- Malcom Floyd (SD)
- Steve Smith (NYG)
- Terrell Owens (CIN)
- Randy Moss (TEN)
- Mike Williams (SEA)
- James Jones (GB)
- Steve Breaston (ARI)
- Early Doucet (ARZ)
- Brian Finneran (ATL)
- Donte' Stallworth (BAL)
- TJ Houshmandzadeh (BAL)
- Rashied Davis (CHI)
- Devin Aromashadu (CHI)
- Chansi Stuckey (CLE)
- Sam Hurd (DAL)
- Jacoby Jones (HOU)
- Mike Sims-Walker (JAC)
- Hank Baskett (MIN)
- Greg Lewis (MIN)
- Lance Moore (NO)
- Courtney Roby (NO)
- Derek Hagan (NYG)
- Darius Reynaud (NYG)
- Brad Smith (NYJ)
- Johnnie Lee Higgins (OAK)
- Legedu Naanee (SD)
- Ben Obomanu (SEA)
- Laurent Robinson (STL)
- Danny Amendola (STL)
- Mark Clayton (STL)
- Maurice Stovall (TB)
- Santana Moss (WAS)
I repeat some of these potential free agents may never see free agency, but a good majority of them will. The names that stand out to me and that potentially fit the mold of a Haley/Pioli player are, (and in my order of preference):
- James Jones (GB) The guy is a stud and Green Bay is overflowing with too many good receivers, they cannot keep them all. Can they?
- Mike Sims-Walker (JAC) He has really turned it up over the last couple of year, the Jags would be crazy to let him go.
- Steve Breaston (AZ) He has a history with Haley and has been productive when called upon.
- TJ Houshmandzadeh (BAL) He made a mistake signing with Baltimore as their number three (3) wide out and he knows it. He still has some talent left, enough to be Dwayne Bowe's number two (2).
- Jacoby Jones (HOU) This guy is a play maker. He caught 51 balls this season playing opposite Andre Johnson. A good solid number two player.
- Santonio Holmes/Braylon Edwards (NYJ) Both these players can be inconsistent, especially Braylon, but when they are good they are great. They can also be good number ones (1) also. The Jets can't possible keep them both, oh and Brad Smith too.
We made a play on Anquan Boldin last year, so the Chiefs are not averse to bringing in high priced talent. So Addicts, what are your thoughts? Currently the free agent wide receiver pool is looking good. Right?

The Dallas Stars re-signed defenseman Cameron Gaunce to a one-year contract, the team announced Friday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Gaunce, 24, skated in nine regular-season games with Dallas this past season, posting nine shots and seven penalty minutes. He spent the majority of the season with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League.
The Markham, Ontario native registered 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) in 65 regular-season AHL games.
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound defenseman has one career NHL goal in 20 career NHL games with Colorado and Dallas. Gaunce was originally drafted by Colorado in the second round (50th overall) of the 2008 draft, and was acquired by Dallas on April 2, 2013 in exchange for Tomas Vincour.

Lance Armstrong confessed that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Monday, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the interview is to be broadcast Thursday on Winfrey's network.
Armstrong was stripped of all seven Tour titles last year following a voluminous U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that portrayed him as a ruthless competitor, willing to go to any lengths to win the prestigious race.
After a federal investigation of the cyclist was dropped without charges being brought last year, USADA stepped in with an investigation of its own. The agency deposed 11 former teammates and accused Armstrong of masterminding a complex and brazen drug program that included steroids, blood boosters and a range of other performance enhancers.
A group of about 10 close friends and advisers to Armstrong left a downtown Austin, Texas, hotel about three hours after they arrived Monday afternoon for the taping. Among them were Armstrong attorneys Tim Herman and Sean Breen, along with Bill Stapleton, Armstrong's longtime agent, manager and business partner. All declined comment.
Soon afterward, Winfrey tweeted: "Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!"
In a text to the Associated Press on Saturday, Armstrong said: "I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say."
Armstrong stopped at the Livestrong Foundation, which he founded, on his way to the interview and said "I'm sorry" to staff members, some of whom broke down in tears. A person with knowledge of that session said Armstrong choked up, too.
The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk, but he did not make a direct confession to using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation's reputation and urged the group to continue fighting for the charity's mission of helping cancer patients and their families.
Armstrong spoke to about 100 staff members for about 20 minutes, expressing regret for everything the controversy has put them through, the person said. He told them how much the foundation means to him and that he considers the people who work there to be like members of his family.
Winfrey and her crew earlier had said they would film Monday's session at Armstrong's home. As a result, local and international news crews were encamped near the cyclist's Spanish-style villa before dawn.
Armstrong still slipped away for a run despite the crowds outside his home. He returned by cutting through a neighbor's yard and hopping a fence.

Sunny Official Trailer from Level 1 on Vimeo.
Daniel Blom Interview
Daniel Blom has been shooting snowboarding for around 12 years. Originally, I contacted him about shooting with the Phase One digital medium format system. I was curious about his workflow. See what he has to say and check out his new book project Drifting Decade.
Where are you from?
I´m from a tiny town in northern Sweden called Kälarne, grew up outside a village of 300 people.
How'd you get into photography?
First and foremost I was into Snowboarding, and figured I wanted to get into that scene and since I was not a very good rider, I picked up the camera. I had always been into drawing stuff so it came pretty naturally.
How'd did you get into snowboarding?
Cant remember really but a few of my older friends started riding, so I saved up money and convinced my parents to kick in the rest for one of my birthdays.
When did you start combining the two?
I started trying back in 96 maybe, but did not start trying for real until 2000..
Can you describe a typical snowboard shoot? Are you leading the charge to get certain shots or do the riders lead the way? How involved are the riders and clients in the direction of a shoot?
I all depends on what kind of shoot you´re doing, if a rider is trying to get a heavy rail or a big line you don't really wanna be the one trying to tell them what to do, but if you´re shooting for a catalogue or a photo-story you´ll be in more creative control.
How do you select the riders you work with?
A lot of time you´re shooting for a specific story or client, and then you don't really pick too much. Other than that you try and go with people that you know will get stuff done, who´s productive and fun to hang out with.
How much planning goes into a typical snowboard shoot? Are there exact shots or lighting scenarios you have planned out for particular locations?
No. 90% of the shoots are more "run and gun", there are too many variables with snow conditions, lighting etc to take into consideration to plan everything out too much. But then again you have those shoots where you´re going after a super specific shot, and then you´ll do more planning.
When shooting a new spot, how do you go about finding the best angle? Are there tricks to finding a good angle quickly?
After a while you´ll know what works and what does not pretty fast, but It can be nice to walk around a bit as the riders is getting warmed up. If it´s a spot where they´re only going to hit it once you´ll have to trust your judgement more.
On what type of snowboard shoots do find yourself using your Phase One, or wishing you had brought it along?
They're cool for scenarios where you need fast flash sync on high shutter speeds, since you can go up to 1600th of a second and stilly sync them with your big lights.
Whats your workflow like when working with the Phase One? Is it dramatically different from working with your DSLR?
Not really, since you cant fire a burst on action you just need to time the shot a bit more.
You seem to stay pretty busy shooting snowboarding. How do you keep up with work for other clients under the demands of a full season of shooting snowboarding?
It seems to work out quite well, these days I do 4-5 snow jobs / year so there is still plenty of time to do other things which is nice, never wanna do the same thing too much.
How do your commercial shoots compare with your snowboard shoots? Is there one type of shoot you prefer to be on?
As I said I think its more fun if you can switch things out more. Lot of snow shoots tend to be a bit less organized/specific than an ordinary commercial shoot, for good and bad.
Do your commercial clients ever hire because of your snowboard photography background?
Sure it happens, but of course not only for that I'd think.
Any current or projects you want to discuss?
Yes! I have a book coming out with shots from the last ten years I've been in snowboarding, Its called Drifting Decade and will be out late september. Check some images and pre-book your copy at driftingdecade.com, all pre-booked copies are signed as well.
Daniel's book project, Drifiting Decade, looks pretty amazing. Be sure to pre-order one. There probably won't be too many copies for sale later.

text: There are many things that annoy me, but usually those thing irritate me for a little while and I get over it quickly. Today, I was on a conference call and one of my co-workers was sitting next to the speaker phone which was cutting in and out. It was difficult enough to hear, but what came through loud and clear was her annoying, cackling laugh. She irritates me anyway, so hearing her cackling laugh coming through loud and clear when I couldn't hear what was going on in the meeting was making me crazy. SO crazy that I had to put the phone on mute and yell at this co-worker to shut up, SHUT UP, just SHUT UP ALREADY! My kids think I'm crazy.

Job Control Language
Abbreviated as JCL, Job Control Language is a means of communicating with the IBM 3090 MVS Operating System. JCL statements provide information that the operating system needs to execute a job. A job is something that you want to accomplish with the aid of a mainframe computer (e.g. copy a data set, execute a program, or process multiple job steps). You need to supply the information that the job requires and instruct the computer what to do with this information. You do this with JCL statements. A job step consists of statements that control the execution of a program or procedure, request resources, and define input and/or output.

There are dozens of different music notation programs available these days. Some are very feature rich with an equally robust price tag. Then there is Mozart, a veteran music writing program that has been around for many years now but continues to improve while maintaining a reasonable price tag. Is Mozart a good match for your music writing needs? Read on to find out the pros and cons of this solid music notation system.
Installation of the Mozart music notation program is very fast and easy. One of the things that stood out in my mind the first time that I opened the program though was that it immediately asked me which toolbars I would like to have available on the screen. This is a simple, yet very nice piece of ergonomic engineering on their part in my opinion. You can select as many or as few of the toolbars as you feel you will need or you can simply stick with their recommended settings. Moreover, once working in a score you can customize those individual toolbars to include only the tools (dynamics, articulations, etc.) that you require rather than having to fumble through layers of menus.
Once in the program I was quickly able to start a new wind band score however I was a bit confused by not being able to customize the instrumentation of that template before opening the blank score. I discovered that by right clicking on any of the staves after the file opened it allowed me to bring up the needed dialog to adjust the parts. I was then able to whittle down my wind band score to only have the parts that I required.
Mozart allows users to enter notes in a variety of ways. Simple click and drag style as well as a speedy entry style using number keys to select duration and up/down arrow keys to select the pitch are the easiest to use. When coupled with a MIDI device you can also enter notes into the score using a live recording mode. I quickly found that Mozart also makes it easy to assign swing styling to parts, allowing me to write some jazz and play it back with the proper swing feel to the eighth notes. The amount of swing is adjustable via a menu.
Other things in the plus column for Mozart include a very snappy, fast reaction time to almost anything I tried to make it do, even when adding notes or playing back many different parts at the same time. While some of the articulation and dynamic entry methods are a little different than what a user might be used to they are still fairly intuitive and you catch on pretty quickly to what is required to achieve your desired results.
On the down side for Mozart's music notation program would be the rather lackluster MIDI voicings that ship with it. The flute sound is the plain old basic MIDI flute sound, and the others are equally blah. For those with discerning ears there are other music notation programs in the same price range that offer better quality samples. However, on the other side of the coin here the lack of bloated MIDI samples means that the entire installation is only around 25 megabytes in size. Compare that to the huge multi gigabyte installs of Finale or Sibelius and the simplicity and speed of Mozart begin to look much more attractive.
Despite the lack of high quality sound fonts on the whole Mozart is a strong, very capable music notation system that meets the needs of most users for less than $160. Consider it as an alternative and give their demo version of Mozart a try before you make a decision about which music notation system to go with.

It's been a year since Obama's big speech about reforming the U.S. targeted killing program. Here are 10 things about the forever war that have hardly budged at all.
Our Spying Is Better Than Your Spying
The Obama administration is drawing a line between stealing the secrets of companies and nations.

Onesies Go High Tech
While some high tech baby gadgets give me pause (bouncy seat with iPad, anyone?), others are just downright ingenious. Check out details on the Mimo, the new onesie with an attached baby monitor
While I'm firmly opposed to some of the new high tech gadgets for babies (have you seen the new bouncy seat with an attachment for your iPad?), I'm all for those which can keep your baby safe and make your life easier at the same time.
Rest Devices, Inc. has invented a baby onesie called the Mimo that proposes to aid in baby's well-being, sleep and development. The onesie has built-in sensors that record a baby's position in bed, body temperature, motion, and respiration as he or she sleeps. Kind of brilliant, no? The sensors transmit data wirelessly via Bluetooth to a nearby base station and then onto a parent's (or caretaker's) smartphone.
Parents then have the ability to examine reports and receive custom alerts for anything that may give them cause to check the baby. Because the Mimo touches a baby's torso, it can monitor breathing and may help prevent fatalities such as sudden infant death syndrome and suffocation by alerting parents if breathing has stopped for an abnormally long time.
The Mimo will be in stores in January (at an as-yet-undisclosed U.S. retail chain), so the jury is still out on how successful the line will be. The kit includes three machine-washable onesies and a base station that transmits data to a smartphone. Now, with a suggested retail price of $199, the Mimo isn't cheap. Then again, peace of mind is priceless… especially to new parents.

Rare Doctor Who Location Pics in The Mirror
You can't fault them really. The Mirror just did what we all do when the bizarre meets the humdrum; assumed that the Doctor can't be far away.
When news broke concerning a group of Yetis reportedly on the prowl in Siberia the Mirror Online dug around in the archives (i.e Google) and found these charming photos of the Second Doctor Patrick Troughton hamming it up for the cameras on location for the 1967 serial The Abominable Snowmen and The Web of Fear, which followed a few months later.
Amongst the collection are moments where Patrick generously shares his umbrella with his furry co-stars, when the feared beasts decided to lie on some pallets between takes and the absolutely stunning moment where the entire master plan is brought to its knees by a passing old man in a flat-cap walking his dog.
There's something reassuring in that old flat-capped gentleman. I'd like to think that if an actual alien invasion occurred that the first we would know about it wouldn't be the desolate cry of the four minute warning but the muffled disbelief of one man and his dog.
It all goes to capture just how beautifully silly it must have been to work on the show while simultaneously fulfilling all of your Sasquatch needs in on brief article (well until you get that yearly craving to watch Harry and the Henderson's again…just me?)
You can check out the whole hairy collection over at the Mirror Online.

I suspect some of those yeti are of the feminine persuasion, as they have child-bearing hips!
What a charming photo of Troughton and his friends… let's hope that, and the Great Intelligence, will be back to trouble the Doctor and Clara sometime soon. Personally, in this anniversary year, I'd like to see a Yeti on the loo in Tooting Bec as a tribute to Pertwee!
I thought the Yeti on the right was John Levene at first. Its hard to tell though. But I know his first gigs in Who were playing monsters.
It DOES look like John Levene. I had always thought, though, that John Levene didn't play a Yeti until Web of Fear.

Nathan Skop is running for the At Large 1 seat of the Gainesville City Commission with a commitment to protect our community from the more than $3 billion biomass contract disaster of the commission's own making.
If Nathan Skop is elected in the February 28, 2012 city runoff election, my understanding is that as a first order of business he would require GRU General Manager Robert Hunzinger to provide information about what construction has been completed at the GREC biomass site, and at what cost. In addition, it is my understanding that he would require GRU General Manager Robert Hunzinger to provide information about whether the infrastructure that has been put in place by GREC could be used, or could be adapted to, a less expensive form of electric power generation. It is my understanding that with the above information in hand he would seek the cooperation of other commissioners for a renegotiation of the GRU-GREC contract under terms that would favor the ratepayers of this community.
Commissioners can at long last stand up for ratepayers, or not. But make no mistake – if Nathan Skops' efforts are rebuffed by GRU-GREC-biomass-plant-at-any-cost-to-ratepayers commissioners who remain committed to forcing the financially irresponsible GRU-GREC biomass disaster of the commission's own making down ratepayer throats, there is a "death penalty" option.
Based on information that has come to light since previously secret portions of the GRU-GREC biomass contract were made public on April 6, 2011, the contract may be found by a court to be void on several bases:
1. GRU General Manager Robert Hunzinger, contrary to May 12, 2008 city commission instructions that he himself negotiate the GRU-GREC Contract, instead appointed an ad hoc committee, headed by GRU Assistant General Managers Ed Regan and John Stanton, whose meetings were required to have been noticed and opened to the public but were not;
2. Hunzinger, Regan, Stanton and others "daisy-chained" information between the Mayor and individual commissioners by GRU officials before the commission's May 7, 2009 vote; and
3. The city commission on May 7, 2009 approved a contract differs substantially from the contract the commission authorized in a public meeting on May 12, 2008. Changed terms of the contract were not publicly noticed or discussed before the commission approved them.
These and other Sunshine Law violation, if established in court, provide bases on which a judge would be required to rule that the GRU-GREC contract is void and without legal effect.
The significance of all this is that if a court now determines the GRU-GREC contract is void, there is no contract to break. Should GREC file suit against GRU and/or the City of Gainesville to attempt to recover damages, no damages may be awarded to the extent GREC was on notice that its contract with GRU was in violation of the Sunshine Law but chose to proceed with construction at its own risk.

1. For those who don't already know, please tell us about yourself & your connection with the leather world.
Master Michael is a 47 year leatherman. Slave angie is a (mumble,mumble) year old leatherwoman. They've been together for almost 11 years in a Master/slave relationship. Both are active in the leather/kink community of Chicago and the M/s community around the world. Michael is a co-founder of the Chicago Leathermen's Group, a discussion group for leather and leather-curious men. He's a community member of the Chicago Hellfire Club's McAdory Committee. Michael is a co-director of MAsT: Greater Chicago (Master And slave Together). Slave angie is a member of MAsT: Greater Chicago. She is a former Board Director for the LRA Chicago, a pansexual dungeon social club. Angie volunteers as a bootblack at many local events.
Our connection is through our involvement with our leather club - Chicago Leather Club, our involvement in the leather and Master/slave community both locally and across the world as presenters, learners and listeners. Together, we are honored to hold the titles of International Master/slave 2014, Great Lakes Master/slave 2013 and Illinois Master/slave 2013.
The exhibit will feature over 40 prints of Leatherwomen and Leathermen photographed over the last 32 months by C. Creane. This dedicated historian has been documenting women (and men) throughout the Leather Community. One-at-a time, falling in love with each participant's personal story. Now for the first time-she gets to share with the public her work and our readers are invited!

The Leather Journal's mission is to provide community news to members of the community. A news paper not only reports the news, but provides historical reference. Charitable events, title holder history, marriages and commitment ceremonies, book releases, opening night performances, and obituaries all deserve their moment in time to be preserved. Well we can't do it if we don't know about it! Community contributions are the lifeblood of this paper, especially the website. We simply cannot travel to every event every day that we want to cover (sometimes even in our own area!)
If you have ever thought, The Leather Journal is a west coast paper...or is only about people in Los Angeles, you couldn't be more wrong. South Africa, Canada, NY, Florida, Denver, Salt Lake, Phoenix, MD and now Germany and hopefully soon the UK all have regular contributors! Tell us about your events! You can submit, articles, event photos for the gallery, calendar events (which will be printed in the print version), organization information for the clubs directory, and even submit your business to The Leather Mall online - ALL FOR FREE!

Expert yogis reveal the world's best yoga retreats
Amansala, Tulum, Mexico
Mandy Ingber, yoga teacher to the stars (including Jennifer Aniston), loves heading to this "inspired location" in Mexico. Yogaworks offers weeklong retreats at Amansala (also known for its Bikini Bootcamp) a few times a year: You'll stay at the eco-chic resort, starting each morning with an invigorating Vinyasa session, and enjoying workshops and sequences focused on breathing, meditation and relaxation. And there's plenty of time to take in the gorgeous beaches and the nearby ancient Mayan ruins, or explore the hip town of Tulum.
Bali, Indonesia
Rodney Yee, yoga instructor and creator of Gaiam's Yoga for Your Week, says Como Shambhala Estate in Bali is special for its seamless integration with the setting: It's where "sacred ground" helps you "get connected to the earth," Yee says. And his wife—Colleen Saidman Yee, also a yoga instructor and creator of Gaiam's Yoga for Weight Loss—agrees, adding that the impeccable service you'll receive during yoga retreats enhances the vacation: "It is such a rare experience to feel so selflessly cared for. It will actually make you cry." You'll practice for five hours a day in the rainforest retreat outside Ubud while enjoying the amenities, including fresh wellness-oriented food, an in-house Ayurvedic doctor and Como's luxurious spa.
Tucson, Arizona
At the top of the must-do list for Yoga Journal Editor-in-Chief Carin Gorrell: Miraval, near the Santa Catalina Mountains in the High Sonoran Desert. "Just watching their online videos of guests practicing yoga overlooking the Sonoran desert makes me feel a little restored," she says. "They have a nice variety of classes, including aerial, which I haven't been brave enough to try yet, and a yoga-hiking hybrid for a cardio fix. Plus, the spa! I'd be happy with any one of the Ayurveda treatments."
The pick from noted LA-based yoga teacher Briohny Smyth: Kamalaya, on the southeastern tip of the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. "The location was fabulous, secluded on its own private beach with the warmest water ever," Smyth says. "And the yoga rooms had the best view." Kamalaya offers individualized yoga programs and group retreats, or if you just want to squeeze in a class or two between beach-lounging sessions, you can do that, too. Yoga packages include full room and board, a personal wellness consultation, daily classes and activities, and full use of the resort's steam cavern, swimming and plunge pools, and fitness center.
Latham Thomas, host of "Om on the Go" on Scripps' uLive.com, can't get enough yoga in Tulum: "It's a magical place, which feels like it's at the end of the world but it's only a three-hour flight from New York," she says, adding how wonderful the daily yoga classes are at Ahau Tulum: "The ocean breeze cools you as you sweat it out on the mat." Sign up for a yoga retreat, attend daily classes or request private yoga sessions on your room's private deck at this eco-chic luxury hotel.
Helena, Montana
Yoga instructor and Gaiam video host Seane Corn picks Feathered Pipe, a rustic retreat center in the heart of Montana. "It's set in an environment that promotes healing and inspires deep internal work, from the cabins nestled in the mountains to the sweat lodge to the lake," Corn says. Your retreat includes a week of classes and workshops, accommodations, meals and use of all of the Ranch's amenities, including a sauna, hot tub and bathhouse.
Vista, California
Jill Miller, a yoga and wellness expert and founder of Yoga Tune Up, says "there is no comparison" for the yoga experience at Cal-a-Vie, just outside San Diego, noting that the architecture and general vibe mimic the south of France. "The yoga program is diverse and interesting, a perfect counterpoint to the rest of the well-rounded fitness menu they offer of daily calorie-scorching morning hikes, Gyrotonics, a double-sized outdoor Olympic pool, metabolic conditioning and strength training, meditation and so much more." Retreats also include daily massages and food tailored to each guest's individual dietary preferences.
NYC-based yoga instructor and creator of Gaiam's Beginning Yoga, Chrissy Carter picks Jungle Bay in the small Caribbean nation of Dominica: "It's a magical place located on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, and you stay in a tree house with its own outdoor shower," she says. "The yoga studio is made of reclaimed organic rock, and you can hear the sounds of the waves crashing below from anywhere on the property—nowhere else do I feel so in tune with nature and myself." Jungle Bay offers daily yoga classes, private afternoon yoga or meditation sessions, and special yoga retreat packages.
Stockbridge, Massachusetts
"For an all-out shot of yogic transformation, my go-to is Kripalu in the Berkshires," says Liz Eustace, founder of Alignyo.com, an online publication and resource about all things yoga. "I've done yoga classes followed by kayaking, then hiking, more yoga, and a meditative walk through a labyrinth—and a late night swim to top off the day." You can choose dorm-style rooms or a quiet room to yourself with a private bath, as you enjoy yoga, outdoor activities and healthy food in the down-to-earth, wellness-focused setting.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"With the concept of "best in slots," anyone can look up what gear they should have for what purpose"
The only problem with this is that "best in slot" compilations only apply to that gear SET. If you don't have EVERY piece of that best in slot set, it's not best in slot anymore. For example, if you have everything best in slot but the chest piece and the chest piece you DO have is chock full of expertise that puts you over the cap, then "best in slot" changes. You may need to change your belt and gloves to compensate for the extra expertise and be able to squeeze some extra crit and haste out instead until you actually get the best in slot chest you need. That is what makes gearing an intelligent process. I agree, there are too many stats right now, but they are oversimplifying. They want things to be more intuitive. OK. How does having a stat called ATTACK POWER make it difficult to understand what will make your ATTACKs more POWERful? They should be removing armor pen, expertise, spell penetration, etc, not basic, easy to understand stats like attack power and spell power.
