“If you could spend one evening with any American living or dead, wouldn't Ben Franklin be fairly close to the top of your list?” asked popular local Ben Franklin interpreter Steve Nousen.
It has often been said that music is the universal language of love. If that is the case, then can we not arrive at a similar conclusion about wine? After all, wine is the international expression of love – the international accompaniment to food and sharing. With this thought of going international in mind, we would like to take our readers on a journey around the world (one winery each month) and highlight some familiar wines and maybe some new varietals as well.

I sent a wedding gift to the child of a dear friend; it was delivered by hand by his mother several months before the wedding, which was in September. I have yet to receive an acknowledgement. I was told by the couple that they had three months after the wedding to send their thank you notes, but that date has since past. I find this is very rude, is there anything I can/should do?
We yogis often talk about Seva, or service, and the Yoga Community. When we think of our yogic community, we envision something larger than ourselves as individuals. We are a unified body of individuals, spectacularly unique, yet collectively in this life together, bound by more commonality than difference. The yogic ideal is that all people in our community can benefit from and enjoy yoga in some form or fashion. While true in our heart, in reality we often exclude a large portion of our geographic community from our Yoga Community on economic grounds.

I take great pride in my title as I have earned it with the blood, sweat and tears that the Fashion Industry can put you through!
I survived! My credentials include: an over-extended stay in Roma, Italia for 20 years (starting in the 1960’s); working the runways of the best Fashion Houses in Europe, serving as a fitting model for Valentino, doing movies for Fellini… and throw in a few Spaghetti Westerns! I designed, manufactured and marketed my own accessories line for mainstream stores, moved to a cosmetics career of R&D and – whew! – purposefully landed here in Paradise to rest my broken heels in bliss and beauty!

Whether you're looking for the perfect comfort food or a dish to complement a bigger meal, these thick creamy bowls will soothe the body and soul and are sublime to the last mouthful.

The subject I’m going to discuss, I could go on for days and days about. It’s something that is near and dear to my heart because I have been directly affected by it, and so have over 50% of Americans. This issue has caused hospitalizations, permanent health issues, even death, to hundreds of thousands of people, and the numbers keep growing.
Every day there are advertisements on TV for these things that have become the topic of humor, for some – because the consequences of introducing these products to your body can be so devastating, it’s a wonder people would take them at all. If you haven't figured it out already, I am talking about prescription medication.
