AION Recovery in Delray Beach, FL
AION Recovery Philosophy
By having a program of exclusive peer groups, we have been able to create an environment that fosters the creation of close bonds amongst a group of clients who have similar underlying issues. Therapy is customized to those issues so that the entire experience feels relevant. The clinical program is based upon a task model, competency approach to treatment that is designed to help the client overcome specific obstacles and increase their ability to manage their emotions and situations without using chemicals to self soothe. The unique treatment approach utilizes evidence based practices to facilitate a holistic approach to healing. Our therapies are all encompassing to focus on healing the physical, neurological, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual components of addiction.
Areas of Specialization
Family Program
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it's important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.
Dual Diagnosis/Co-occurring Disorders Treatment
These two terms describe a person who is not only addicted to drugs or alcohol, but also has a mental or emotional illness, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Facilities that treat patients with dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders provide psychiatric treatment in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.

DIWA Gold Award to Nikon D40
DIWA Gold Award to Nikon D40 :
DIWA, a world-wide organisation of collaborating websites, announces a DIWA Gold Award to the Nikon D40 DSLR camera for its high overall performance at a very competitive price. Although the Nikon D40 is an entry-level digital SLR camera, many of its internal technologies are inherited from its far more expensive siblings, the Nikon D80 and D200. This includes its excellent 3D Colour Matrix II metering, its high quality image-processing algorithms and fast performance. Thanks to this, the Nikon D40 delivers excellent price/quality ratio. Several samples have passed our rigorous DIWA testing procedure with excellence, making the Nikon D40 a worthy winner of a DIWA Gold Award.
Nikon D40 DIWA Gold Award
Many people believe that high image resolution is synonymous with high image quality, but this is not always the case. High quality optics, first class image processing and ample image resolution is usually the best combination for optimum image quality and camera performance. When introducing the D40, Nikon claimed that 6 Megapixels is the ideal image resolution for the targeted consumers. After testing numerous samples of the D40, the international DIWA group of experts unanimously confirms Nikon's statement. The Nikon D40 is a quality built camera with good ergonomic design, user-friendly operation, fast and precise functions, excellent image quality and last but not least, at a very attractive price.
DIWA's test manager Kai Thon
Kai Thon, DIWA's test manager says: "The DSLR camera market is booming and new models are introduced at rapid pace. DIWA members are pleased to confirm that the Nikon D40 is far more than just another DSLR. Built on Nikon's long experience and indisputable reputation for quality, filled with the most important goodies from more advanced Nikon models, with priority on performance rather than marketing tricks and gimmicks, the D40 is currently as close to the perfect DSLR you can get for a reasonable sum of money".
Nikon quality camera bodies
Over several decades, Nikon has built their remarkable reputation primarily as makers of top quality 35 mm system cameras and lenses. This legacy is forwarded into the digital age by maintaining the classic Nikon quality camera bodies and high performance Nikkor lenses, supplemented by state-of-the-art digital imaging technologies. This and a most competitive price tag make the Nikon D40 an obvious winner of a DIWA Gold Award.
About DIWA
The Digital Imaging Websites Association (DIWA) is a fast growing group of independent Web-based specialist publications dedicated to digital imaging. DIWA harnesses the collective talent and expertise of its members, resulting in industry awards that command unparalleled confidence and value, both for consumers and the industry, alike. DIWA awards come in the form of bronze, silver and gold medals for various product categories.
DIWA test scoring procedure
DIWA product test awards are exclusively decided through the analysis of multiple test scores from different DIWA testers, testing different samples of the same product. A very detailed and comprehensive standardized scoring procedure is employed, tailored carefully for each category of product. Multiple testing eliminates the chance of an isolated, unrepresentative product sample or test error, or even hidden bias, from affecting the trustworthiness of the overall result.
Awards throughout the year
DIWA is also unique in its policy in issuing awards for deserving products throughout the year, culminating in annual best of the year Platinum medal awards in all product categories.

Dell May Be Starting Storage Price War With $9K Array
UPDATED: Company had priced its new 2U starter enterprise system at about $14,000 per array; now the price is bouncing around according to demand.Dell appears to be initiating a price war of sorts with its latest entry-level storage system. Dell Storage's SCv2000 storage area network, launched on May 6 and made available immediately, is a relatively full-featured starter enterprise system that had been tagged at $14,000 per array, a price point that is unheard of from a major manufacturer in the IT business. Then, a few days ago, the company trimmed the price again for a single array to $8,800, according to this notice. Even more unheard of. You can view a short video here. But there's more to this story. Apparently the price is a very fluid one and there's a lot of interest, because on May 8, the company popped the price back up to $12,669, two days after eWEEK spotlighted the $8,800 tag.
Perhaps Dell wanted to see if anybody is paying attention to its price fluctuations. People do read eWEEK, the only publication to report the price change, and they do notice.

Bournemouth, another historic railway building in a poor state of repair, was a close contender for the title. The station was nominated by Gordon Roe, former bishop of Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire. "Scaffolding has been up for ever and fences off most of the few seats there are on the platform. When it rains the roof leaks everywhere and there is nowhere to hide. The loos are beyond belief, filthy, most of the cubicles boarded up, no adequate wash facilities and a pervading, repulsive smell," he wrote.
Railtrack said it was aware that Bournemouth, which has been under repair since the 1987 storms, was probably the worst station in the South-east.
A spokesman said the company had agreed a pounds 6.7m package to restore the listed building by spring 2000.
"This will reinstate the roof and really return the station to its former glory." A common thread running through the nominations was the feeling of fear and disgust that travellers felt while waiting for trains.
St James Street in Walthamstow, east London, on the WAGN line to Chingford, was described as "crumbling, dirty, smelly, graffiti-covered and totally uninviting" by one reader who said that, for lone passengers, particularly at night, the perception is of a dangerous, insecure place.
Another described it simply as "disgusting".
WAGN's station at Hackney Downs, east London, boasted graffiti and a smell of urine, while platform indicators have not worked for six months, according to one reader, who found that complaints to staff were often met with rudeness.
"Hackney Downs, like the school of the same name closed by the Government, is obviously a sink station," he wrote.
Birkbeck, which is on the line to Beckenham Junction in south London was "smelly and overgrown", boasting a vandalised ticket office and a loudspeaker system that did not work.
The Independent staff's nomination, Kentish Town West, in north London, was supported by a reader who said that he had not paid a fare there for six years, as it had been impossible to buy one, from staff or a machine, while the "nauseating stench" kept the gangs of local children away.
On The Wrong Track
Bad stations nominated by Independent readers include:
Bexhill, East Sussex
Birmingham New Street, West Midlands
Blackpool, Lancashire
Bournemouth, Dorset
Cambridge Heath, London
Carnforth, Lancashire
Guildford, Surrey
Hackney Downs, London
Kentish Town West, London
London Fields, London
Luton, Bedfordshire
Middlesbrough, Cleveland
Nuneaton, West Midlands

Fluttershy's Cottage
Breakfast was in order and Tails was eating bacon, a omelet, and some salad. "Thanks, this is very good!" Tails said. "No problem." Fluttershy responded. "Can you come help me out side Shy?" Tails asked. "Sure." She replied. After breakfast was over they went outside to work on his project. Tails was building a very fast mini Power Cannon for Sonic, it was powered by 5 chaos emeralds he got the 3 from twilight and the 2 from Sonic and Rainbow Dash. When he was walking over to the shop he remembered he had the fake emerald maker machine still, but right at the second he tripped over something and it turned out to be a chaos emerald! He thought he was stupid of thinking to build the machine now, but still it would come in handy..... Now they just needed 1 more!!!!! "Well lets get this over with." Tails said. "Ok." Fluttershy replied.
Rainbow's House
Sonic was watching TV and he was watching the Olympics. "You can do better then that I can run a mile in 0.3 seconds you can't run it in 20 seconds!!!!! Idiots...... don't know how to do it right....." Sonic said. "I have a few questions." Dash said. "Sure whatever you ple- Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sonic yelled. "I'll take that as a yes. Ok so first how do you walk on clouds?!" "You tell me." "Don't know." "Me neither" "Ok question answered 'Don't know'." "Ok next question is let me guess actually is your favorite food chili dogs?" "Correct." "And last but not least........ do you have the..... hots for......... Me?" Sonic turned light red "Like what do you mean....." Sonic said. "You know what. -_-" Dash replied. "Ummmmmmm...." Sonic was getting redder by the second, he was trying to focus on TV but for some reason he couldn't. "Spit it out already, I thought you were fast!" "If you can catch me I will tell you!" Sonic then jumped the window and ran supersonic speed. Dash had a plan she then went by and asked Tails for the 6 emeralds and a case for her waist to hold them it took him about 5 mins but as soon as it was done Dash said, "I'll bring them back later, gotta dash!" Then Dash bolted through the door and started flying she felt the power surging through her she could smell him and see him. She used the emeralds to warp light speed by him. "I caught you!" Dash said. "Cheater but you still can't catch me!" Sonic yelled then he went into hypersonic speed. "Not today punk I'm getting that answer!!!!!" Rainbow went chasing after him at hypersonic speeds she easily caught up and said, "Say uncle, you can't beat this speed!" Dash half bragged, half criticized. "Never I can't tell you!!!!!" Sonic then pushed as hard as he could going the fastest speed ever known to anything. Faster then light. Faster then supernovas. He was going UniversalSpeed a endless speed limit he was running so hard he was running around the world in milliseconds flat he started carving a trench through the middle of the planet he soon noticed and stopped before he could do any more damage but the thing was he couldn't stop so he ran around like crazy. Dash was so amazed even the chaos emeralds couldn't do that that even proves he is pure speed, pure awesomeness.... She decided to go as fast as she could with the emeralds to jump onto him she managed to get on but they stopped instantly. Sonic went over the last emerald and they got stuck in the air with power surging through them. They started to glow and Sonic busted out gold and Rainbow Dash turned pure white and her element was on her neck suddenly. "I caught you will you tell me now?" Rainbow asked. "I Sure Do!" Sonic says as Sonic kisses Rainbow Dash they both started to glow rapidly and sparks flew across the planet of the mixing of the power. "I kind of did too......" Dash admitted. "KNEW IT! YES! BEST DAY EVER!" Sonic started to fly around super fast at universal speeds. "Remember Shadow now?!" Dash reminded Sonic. "Hahahhaa.... ok lets get him back to life." Sonic said. They flew back to PonyVille and knocked on Twilight's door. "Who's there!!!" Twilight said. "Its us too we are her to save Shadow remember?" Sonic said. Twilight immediately hugged them both and started crying, "Please do it quick I want to see his face once again!!!" "We will make sure of that." Dash said.
Hope you liked it!

I always see multiple employer plans (MEPs) as the ability of small plans to group together and buy in "bulk". In my mind, the MEP should act as the Costco or Sam's Club of retirement plans. By buying in "bulk" and grouping together with other unaffiliated employers, plan sponsors can get a better product at a better price. At least that's the way it should be. For me MEPs is the ability of smaller plans to have a greater choice in the choice of plan providers, allowing them to get services from unbundled providers that they probably could not afford as a standalone plan. The pricing of daily valued 401(k) plans is highly dependent on plan asset size because plan expenses shrink when expressed as a percentage of the plan's assets as assets grow. Taking advantage of the economies of scale of a MEP, participating employers can get a better plan at a better price. In addition, being a part of an MEP can help defray fiduciary liability.

One Unsilent, Firelit Night at the 1753 House
By Lisa Green
The image of people gathered around a piano singing Christmas carols evokes a sense of nostalgia that the holidays allow us to indulge in. Every year, a variation of that tableau comes to life for real, at a holiday group sing at the 1753 House in Williamstown, Mass. This year's sing happens Wednesday, Dec. 21.
It will be the 43rd annual carol sing in the small house built in 1953 in honor of Williamstown's bicentennial (it now belongs to the Williamstown Historic Museum), recreated as an historical replica of a regular settler's home. The singing event is the only day of the year when a fire is lit. There's no heat other than that fire, so carolers are advised to dress warmly and bring a candle to see by. Hot mulled cider will be provided, and Deborah Burns, who runs several local choruses, will bring the carol books and lead the a capella singing.
The longtime tradition is the brainchild of the late Hank Flynt and Robert Burns (no relation to Deborah), who recalled a Christmas sing at the Williams Inn he attended in his youth. In a conversation with Flynt, Burns related the memory, and Flynt suggested the 1753 House could be just the place for that sort of thing. And a tradition was born.
It's lovely and convivial. Also ecumenical, free and appropriate for all ages.
"This is a completely noncommercial and nonreligious event," stresses Gail Burns (no relation to Deborah, but wife of Robert), who lead the singing for several years. "It's just getting together in the cold and dark with candles, singing together, enjoying the beauty of the music."
The 1753 House is located on Field Park between the Williams Inn and the Milne Public Library, at the northern intersection of Routes 2 and 7. Parking is available at the inn and the library.
1753 House Carol Sing
Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m.
Rain/snow date is Thursday, Dec. 22.

Two Chamber Series Offer An Embarrassment Of Riches
Crescendo. Photo by Stephen Potter.
By Jeremy D. Goodwin
Tanglewood will always be the grand dame among classical music venues in the Rural Intelligence region, and that's perfectly fine with us. But it's in the more intimate venues — theaters, churches, museums — where chamber music fans can reliably find the not-so-hidden gems of the fall and winter seasons. With a relatively lower profile, a host of performance series plot ambitious seasons incorporating a curatorial flair that combines historical expertise with a creative embrace of the future. Two such sturdy leaders of the scene, who have each assembled dedicated fan bases in the RI region and beyond, celebrate anniversaries this season.
Close Encounters With Music, founded by Yehuda and Hannah Hanani, embarked on its 25th season in October at its home base, Great Barrington's Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center. And it's been 15 years since Christine Gevert moved to the area and started a humble music series at Trinity Lime Rock Episcopal Church in Lakeville, which evolved two years later into the Crescendo concert series and is now a leading proponent of early music.
Christine Gevert. Photo by Stephen Potter.
Gevert arrived in Lakeville in 2001 by way of a childhood spent in her native Germany, college studies in Chile, and professional posts in various places in-between — like a Swiss music publisher of early music scores. Her familial background (both German and Chilean) and her professional expertise make her a one-of-a-kind music expert who curates a one-of-a-kind concert series.
Crescendo's sweet spot is the era of European classical music spanning from the 13th century on up through the early baroque period of the 1700s — but with a twist. Gevert's deep knowledge of the Latin American baroque tradition led to Crescendo's invitation to send an ensemble to perform at St. Bartholomew's Church as part of last September's New York Early Music Celebration. Crescendo's 2016-17 season includes performances in Great Barrington at First Congregational Church, Bard College at Simon's Rock, and the soon-to-open St. James Place, as well as spaces in Lakeville. It's also premiering a commission of a style-hopping composition by John Myers, written in nine parts to accompany nine works by Norman Rockwell. Both Crescendo's repertoire and its performing radius keep expanding.
Though Gevert's early-music bona fides are unimpeachable, she says it's important for Crescendo to offer a variety of pieces, as performed by a family of house ensembles including a chorus and chamber orchestra playing period instruments. "Sometimes the Renaissance music comes out more when it's heard in contrast with contemporary music," says Gervert, who has even programmed a piece by jazz master Dave Brubeck.
She's also put her skills to work translating, as it were, period musical scores into playable performance editions. By fleshing these out into full arrangements, Gevert has facilitated the United States premieres of pieces written centuries ago.
Yehuda Hanani.
Close Encounters With Music puts its own curatorial spin on sounds both familiar and new. Yehuda Hanani, an accomplished concert cellist, is its artistic director. Hanani is known for concerts in which he draws connections, from the stage, among different pieces of music and other currents of artistic and intellectual thought. Even in a phone conversation, one gets a taste of Hanani's approach. Just talking about music with him is a little bit like a private Close Encounters encounter.
"What painters are trying to do with pigment, composers are doing with sound. And what architects are doing in space, composers do in time. A piece of music is really an architectural structure in time rather than in space. So it has a beginning, an end, a climax—it has structure, beams that hold the things together," he says, "and once you start explaining it to audiences, even people who are not musically literate, who just listen intuitively, begin to relate those things and they start listening differently."
Close Encounters With Music started out at Great Barrington's St. James Episcopal Church, and in February will give the first concert there under the space's new name, St. James Place. Typical of Hanani's approach, it'll feature solo pieces by Bach performed by himself on cello and Kivie Cahn-Lipman on viola da gamba, bringing to aural life the difference between period and modern approaches to the material.
Like Crescendo, Close Encounters also commissions new pieces to work alongside an older repertoire. Its 25th season marks the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the state of New York, and will culminate with a gala concert next June featuring an interconnected "quilt" of short pieces written by women composers and dedicated to heroes of the pro-suffrage movement. Conversations with composer Hannah Lash (Nov. 20 at Hudson Opera House) and author Linda Hirshman (May 14 at The Mount in Lenox) augment the performance schedule.
When Hanani describes the circle of Close Encounters fans, he could also be describing Crescendo—or any of the other cultural offerings that bring together people in the RI region at any time of year.
"It's like you enter a cultural zone and it's really like a neighborhood," says Hanani, who lives with Hannah in Spencertown. "These days when we're all so mobile, a neighborhood is defined by me as a cultural affinity—members of the same interest, the same passion."

Counting Down For The Pittsfield City Jazz Festival
Karrin Allyson and Scott Robinson.
By Lisa Green
The 12th annual Pittsfield City Jazz Festival, Oct. 7-16, proves that it takes a village to create — and sustain — a jazz festival.
"We're at a critical mass now," says Ed Bride, festival chair and president of Berkshires Jazz, the nonprofit educational arm whose mission is to present jazz events and promote jazz education in Berkshire County. He started the festival with just two events on a weekend. Now, it spans two weekends — one putting the spotlight on local musicians, and the other reserved for "headliners" in the jazz world. And most of the events are free.
Things kick off on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 7-9, with Jazz About Town, the increasingly popular jazz crawl featuring local musicians in restaurants and lounges throughout Pittsfield's Upstreet Cultural District. New this year is an exhibit of jazz-inspired photography by award-winning photojournalist Ken Franckling, with a First Friday Artswalk reception at the Whitney Center for the Arts on Oct. 7. Franckling will be signing his book, "Jazz in the Key of Light."
The Jazz Ambassadors — America's Big Band.
The "Headline Weekend," Oct. 14-16, actually kicks off on October 13 with the Jazz Prodigy concert. The next night, saxophonist Scott Robinson will perform at Flavours restaurant. On October 15, at the Colonial Theatre, vocalist and pianist Karrin Allyson, a Grammy nominee, will take the stage, followed by the Jazz Ambassadors — America's Big Band, the official touring big band of the United States Army. The Berkshires Jazz Youth Ensemble will open the headliner concert, having been coached by members of the Pittsfield Sister City Jazz Ambassadors. The festival concludes with a jazz brunch.
Anyone aware of Pittsfield's "can-do" spirit won't be surprised that the festival was propelled by local businesses. Early on, Andy Kelly, a guitarist and chair of Pittsfield's Cultural Development Board, organized jazz performances in bars and restaurants around town. There was no problem filling the venues, but patrons would leave to go to the festival concerts, and the bar owners felt it as competition. So the jazz crawl was born, as was the new format of locals on Columbus Day weekend and headliners the following weekend.
It was because the Friends of the Athenaeum (Pittsfield's public library) wanted to include younger musicians that the jazz prodigy concert was created. Underwriting support comes from local foundations and financial institutions, among other businesses. Bride estimates that about 80 percent of festival goers are from Berkshire County, but says the festival also draws people from New York City and even as far away as Maine.
So you don't have to be from Pittsfield to take in this home-grown festival. You just have to love jazz.
Pittsfield City Jazz Festival, Oct. 7-16

The Leaf Peepers Concert Series Plans A Bold 35th Season
By Amy Krzanik
Composer Tonia Ko
Borrowing its name from our region's annual fall phenomenon, The Leaf Peeper Concert Series, presented each year by Clarion Concerts in Columbia County, will hold four unique performances at four different area venues every other Saturday from Sept. 10 to Oct. 22. The series — born in New York City in 1957 by the late musicologist and conductor Newell Jenkins and his partner, Jack Hurley — is helmed by acclaimed flutist Eugenia Zuckerman, who took over from Sanford Allen, a former violinist with the New York Philharmonic who directed the series from 1996 until his retirement in 2014.
Although it's the oldest classical music organization in the county, the series doesn't dwell in the past, and is known for mixing traditional and contemporary chamber music, providing performance opportunities for promising young artists, and commissioning new works.
Zuckerman, who served as artistic director of the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival for 13 years, is excited about the stellar lineup of musicians participating in this year's series. You can witness two of these superstar young musicians, pianist Jeewon Park and cellist Edward Arron — who will be performing with violinist Tessa Lark and Paul Green on clarinet — right out of the gate during "Autumn Echoes," the first of the series' concerts this Saturday at the Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School in Ghent, NY. Along with works by Beethoven, Schoenfeld and Brahms, "Echoes" will include "Elegy for Cello and Piano," which the series commissioned from Tonia Ko and which will be performed for the first time ever during the concert.
The Shanghai String Quartet
"Our opening concert will take place at a school on a working farm," says Zukerman, "and I think that speaks to the whole concept of this area and what I love about it. Even though houses are far apart, there's a real sense of community here, and an interesting mix of older and younger people."
The rest of the lineup is no less thrilling, and we can see why Leaf Peepers almost doubled its attendance during its 2015 season. The second concert, "From East To West," will feature the much in-demand Shanghai Quartet, who will be joined by Zukerman on flute, at St. James Church in Chatham, NY.
"Classically Romantic," at Our Lady of Hope Church in Copake on Oct. 8, will feature Daniel Chong, first violinist in the Parker Quartet, along with Melissa Reardon, a violist in the Grammy-nominated Enso String Quartet, and cellist Raman Ramakrishnan who is a founding member of the Horszowski Trio.
"What I love about the musicians I've invited is that these are people who play a lot with their own groups, but also they're curious and interested in playing with other people," says Zukerman. "They're very enthusiastic, fun and flexible performers."
Leaf Peepers concludes with "Basking in the Baroque" at Hillsdale Methodist Church on Oct. 22. Cellist Astrid Schween of the Juilliard String Quartet and pianist Giovanni Reggioli will be joined by baritone Gustavo Ahualli and Zukerman's daughter, soprano Arianna Zukerman.

Oldtone Roots Music Festival Is A Fun New Frolic
Lauren Ambrose and Kip Beacco at 2015's festival
By Amy Krzanik
As the Duke Ellington song says, "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing," and the Oldtone Roots Music Festival does got that swing, and that bluegrass, that old-time country, as well as Cajun, contra and Appalachian folk music. Held for one day in Wassaic in 2015, Oldtone will go big this year, with a four-day fest at Cool Whisper Farm in Hillsdale, New York from Thursday, Sept. 8 to Sunday, Sept. 11.
The festival's founders and producers, Berkshire County musicians Kip Beacco, Matt Downing and Jim Wright, are well known in the roots music world from their bands The Lucky Five, The Hunger Mountain Boys, The Hayrollers and other groups. The trio have used their connections to curate a lineup that includes respected Louisiana Cajun musician Jesse Lége and his Bayou Brew, banjo player Tony Trischka, Michael Daves, The Two Man Gentlemen Band from California whose set will be its only public performance of 2016, NYC's Raya Brass Band and other singers, duos, trios and full bands from our area and beyond.
Cool Whisper Farm
Friday evening will feature The Oldtone Classic Country Revue offering a convergence of all-star musicians Caleb Klauder, Lauren Ambrose, Andy Bean, Bradford Lee Folk, Pete Adams, Brian Kantor, Sauerkraut Seth Travins and others taking the stage together for a big howdy-doo.
A dance tent will offer live music each night so folks can get their ya-yas out contra, swing or square dancing. There will even be traditional Appalachian clogging. Roots music bands and instrumentalists are invited to participate in contests, and there will be intimate workshops with festival artists on Friday and Saturday.
In true family-friendly style, Oldtone is offering three nights of camping, food and plenty of activities for kids such as music by Hopalong Andrew, face painting, instrument lessons and more. A Friday night Cajun gumbo prepared by The Farmer's Wife will be overseen by real live Southerner Jesse Lege, and the farm will host a pig roast on Saturday. Hoo-boy! That's a lot of action.

"We really wanted to do a full-on festival this time, and it just snowballed," says Beacco. "If we're doing Friday and Saturday, we might as well do Thursday, and people will camp over Saturday, so we should have some bands on Sunday morning… It's like when you sit down to eat and your eyes are bigger than your stomach."
We're excited to participate in the hoedown and we won't be alone. "Some people don't go to festivals because they have an idea that it's going to be another Lollapalooza or Woodstock, but Oldtone is really for everyone from newborns to 95-year-olds."

Great event, as always. Only small issues: a bit crowded. Fifty fewer people would probably have been perfect. It was tough to see the presenter from the balcony, so people started talking to each other which was distracting. Other than those small points, it was great as always!

Over-sold and under-delivered. It was a claustrophobic waste of time. The keynote was weak and self centered. Twenty percent of the content was pure name dropping that was valueless and went right over my head. The rest was drivel.

Great content but far too many people to see or hear the speakers. Seating only for approximately 25% of the people in attendance.

Very busy. Try to get more developers there. Lots of people like me coming that are looking for developers but not many actual developers. There were some of course. All in all, a high quality event. Thanks.

Too many people, too loud, too much drinking.

One man's post-game analysis: 1st of all big-ups to Erin Bury and Team Sprouter for putting together this obviously popular event. If we can handle name tag distribution better next time and colour-code the name tags to make networking easier and more structured that would be great. Also, good job on making 80% of people stand, this burns more calories, improves posture, and reduces aches and stiffness ;) Until next time.

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and fellow "The Voice" judge Christina Aguilera will perform their new single "Moves Like Jagger" on the NBC show Tuesday night (June 21), but you don't have to wait that long to hear it.
The studio version of the single has leaked online, and you can listen to it below.
The song has a pretty catchy hook (because that's what Maroon 5 does) and features Levine promising to rock a girl's world because he's got — wait for it — moves like Jagger. Mick, we're assuming, and not Bianca.
Snark aside, we hear major earwrom/summer jam potential in "Moves Like Jagger." What do you think of the song?

In this fully revised and updated work, Clive Fletcher explores the key elements of the appraisal process, and through best practice examples explains how such processes can motivate and develop staff, fostering commitment and positivity, and ultimately improving an organization's performance. Drawing on the wider critical literature on performance management and organizational psychology, and based firmly on evidence-based analysis and organizational experience, the book stresses the vital role of performance appraisal in the identification, development and retention of talent. Discussion topics include: * aims and outcomes of the appraisal process * designing appraisal schemes * appraisal as an ingredient of performance management * Multi-level, multi-source '360 degree' feedback * training, implementation and monitoring * the international and cultural adaptation of appraisal systems. Exploring both public and private sector contexts, this is essential reading for all students of human resource management and for any manager or HRM professional looking to develop more effective performance appraisal systems.

Whether it reaches the right people or not remains to be seen, but this The Seagull, as droll as it is elegiac, is clearly a worthwhile revival. McKellen has wisely and fittingly opted to play the part of Dr Dorn. Wisely, because the charismatic medic is the still centre around which the play's inflated and easily punctured bohemian egos whirl. He earns, rather than grabs, the limelight. Fittingly, because it is Dorn who encourages the novice playwright, Konstantin, in a search for a new dramatic aesthetic.
McKellen does wonders to this potentially non-descript part, his Dorn a jovial old roue, reining in the vestiges of youthful waywardness. When he confronts Will Keen's wonderfully self-conscious Konstantin after the latter's abortive attempt to impress his fading actress mother, Arkadina, with his high-flown poetic drama, you sense there is a life-and-talent -affirming enthusiasm in his avuncular advice. In his introduction to his succinct translation, Tom Stoppard suggests that Konstantin's dramatic efforts are too inert ever to succeed, but if anything, Jude Kelly's production reminds you that the intense young man is too surrounded by self-obsessives for anything truly lifelike to communicate itself in his art.
You are aware of tiny toings and froings across the bare wooden stage that divides the audience in the Courtyard theatre - adorned at either end with a few stick-like trees and blank, charcoal-coloured facades - but the psychological stasis keeps breaking through. Clare Higgins is a bustling Arkadina, dragging her writer-lover, Trigorin (gangly Timothy Walker), under the table. Her accompanying seduction ("you're the only hope for writing in Russia"), like many other lines, gets a laugh, but it also communicates how in sway affection is here to received ideas of success.
The Seagull was a notorious disaster when it opened in St Petersburg 100 years ago. Nowadays, it's easy to pay lip-service to its greatness. This production has an ensemble relish that allows an audience to bring as much, and take away as much, as it wants. And for that, Leeds is to be envied.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Wine/Tasks
|To do list
Improve the bird's eye view[edit]
The entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in the Outline of wine. It in turn is part of Wikipedia's outline system which is one of Wikipedia's main contents systems.
Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them.
While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):
- What's missing?
- Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject?
- Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible?
The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what.
The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject.
It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise wine-related material. It is a hub from which to organize related topics.
It was built as a "reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes.
Please help improve it.
It's our bird's eye view.

I find them very useful because it means I can put my feet up and watch EastEnders while the little ones rush about shooting each other. Sometimes I get shot and then I have to pretend unconsciousness, only I've told them it's possible to be in that condition and keep one's eyes open, which means I can still watch the telly. Not that I was able to do so on that particular night because Inigo insisted on watching the video of The Tailor of Gloucester. When it comes to the bit when the bride of the mayor appears he always calls out admiringly, "She's a beautiful woman."
Above the bed in the children's room hangs a framed photograph of my father and mother on their wedding day. My father was christened Richard, shortened to Dick until Dorothy Ward, principal boy in the pantomime Dick Whittington, uttered those immortal lines: "What? Six miles to London and still no sign of Dick."
The next morning the children woke at 5.30am. As the weather was mild, I suggested a walk round the empty streets to look for worms, at which August refused to budge unless he could take his gun. Worms, he said, could be dangerous.
Esme, who answers only to the name Dorothy - she of the Wizard of Oz - made no objection. Inigo, being older, became distressed. He said it was very likely, if seen, we would all be arrested. August, jumping up and down, said he would bite me if he wasn't allowed. I'm no good at confrontation; holding tightly to Inigo's hand and promising I would save him from prison, we set off.
We didn't find any worms and were returning to the house when Inigo stopped in his tracks and gave a little scream. A man had turned the corner of the crescent and was approaching. August stuck his gun up my coat and whimpered. And then we heard a tapping sound, and saw the man held a white stick. "He's blind," Inigo said. "I'se saved," cried August." "I am saved," I corrected, and he said, "You'se isn't the one with the gun."
THE FOLLOWING day I journeyed by charabanc to Walford to attend the reception following the wedding of those East End lovers, Peggy Mitchell and Frank Butcher. Actually, in telly terms, the knees-up came before the wedding, which took place six weeks ago but hadn't yet been shown. Nor can I be sure that the term "lovers" is strictly correct, in the sense of Peggy and Frank having had carnal knowledge of one another. We know they've been living under the same roof, but there was that night - the day before Peggy was due to have one breast removed - when she begged Frank to enjoy her while she was still intact and Frank looked far from happy. I think he said he had a headache. Possibly, being a religious man, he wanted to wait until it was all above board.
I didn't go to the church, and it wasn't until Pat spilled the beans at the reception that I learnt Peggy had nearly stood Frank up. Apparently she wouldn't go to the altar unless Grant was there to see it, and he said he wouldn't go because he hadn't forgotten it was Frank who had so carelessly run over Tiffany. It was Pat who persuaded him to change his mind, which was gallant of her, seeing that Roy had just taken his Viagra tablets and was behaving oddly.
By all accounts Grant had sat in his pew and glared daggers at Ricky, who was Frank's best man. Pat confided she couldn't help thinking of those words spoken by that other Dick, Richard III, "Bound with triumphant garlands will I come, and lead thy mother to a conqueror's bed."
We had champagne outside the Queen Vic and waited for the bride and groom to arrive. There was such a prolonged wait - we know now this was due to Peggy's last-minute refusal to turn up at the church - that some of us went on a tour of Albert Square to while away the time. I popped into the little park with the bench, the one on which everyone slumps when life gets too much, and there was Barry in his morning suit, looking very mournful and dabbing his eyes with a none too clean handkerchief. I asked him what was wrong and he said I'd find out if I bothered to watch the episode later in the week. Then he told me to clear off. I think he's got love problems.
Peggy looked wonderful when she arrived. Had Inigo been with me he would have cried out, "She's a beautiful woman." When you think of the burden of those dreadful sons, not to mention her medical condition, one trembles for her now that she's joined to Frank, who, if he borrowed Roy's Viagra, would surely detonate Walford, let alone Peggy. When they left, Frank magnificently sang "The more I see her, the more I love her."
Again, I was reminded of Richard III, this time as portrayed by Ian McKellen, tumbling in battle from the roof of Battersea Power Station to the soundtrack of Al Jolson bellowing "I'm sitting on top of the world."

Without much fanfare, Toyota recently updated its Facebook cover photo with the odd-looking, rainbow-colored vehicle (is that the right word here?) you see above.

We were so used to seeing the glossy black that this rainbow (and the low-resolution image which made the Fun-Vii logo look more than a little like "FCHV/ii," implying that this was a wil

Toyota premiered their futuristic Fun-Vii (vehicle, interactive, internet) concept just ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show, where they will also unveil a fuel-cell concept, and a handful of other hybrid and electric cars.

Sorry this is so big, but reducing it too much lost the striping detail.
Top row from left is WEBSPUN, SCARLET BUTTERFLY, STRIPED BUTTERFLY.
Bottom row from left is OLIVE ORCHID, RED BUTTERFLY, GOLD OF OPHIR.
WEBSPUN is from two seedlings with STRIPED BUTTERFLY as one of the parents:
(Riptide x Striped Butterfly) X (Striped Butterfly x Tollgate). The next
four have 'Butterfly Wings' as the registered pod parent but with different
TB pollen parents, so they are all half siblings. GOLD OF OPHIR has unknown
parentage, but was originally billed as a Eupogocyclus hybrid. I include it
here because it has the same effect as the others. These are relatively
small flowered TB types with reasonably good branching. The garden effect
is mindful of MTBs in a larger version. I grow the ancestor of the first
five, but my own photos this year of 'Butterfly Wings' were so dismal they
were promptly deleted. Roberto Maruccho posted a good photo that can be
found in the hort.net archives of May 2003. These do form a group among the
many irises I grow. They share growth habits, form and size. All have
better substance than I expected. And, to some extent or another, they all
have striping, veining or whatever you want to call it.
