PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 21, 2010 – Boulder, CO 04/15 - Networkwellnesscenters.com is ecstatic to announce about its solution to a healthier and more energetic life. This Boulder chiropractic and wellness center focuses on the treatment process as well as on the body's innate capacity to renew, repair and restore itself back to health.

Chiropractic is the philosophy that believes in the inner capacity of the human body to care for itself. At the present time, this is one of the largest diagnostics health care practices in the world. More and more people are discovering and preferring the ways and methodologies of chiropractors. An increasing number of medical practitioners are also starting to study and incorporate this philosophy into their own practice.

The basics of chiropractic dwell away from the use of drugs and medications as well as with any invasive procedures such as surgeries and the likes. It has a high regard for the health and well-being of the spine. In chiropractic, a healthy spine is the key to a healthy life.

It is the nervous system which is responsible for the control and management of one's actions. Since the spine makes up a large part of that system, its condition greatly affects an individual's well-being. There is a known coordination between the body and the human brain, and the spine serves as the ultimate bridge between the two. After all, the brain sends signals to the body through the spinal cord.

Maintaining the good and healthy condition of the spine is the ultimate answer to a better life. This incorporates all the aspects of one's condition such as being sick-free and more energetic in dealing with the hustles and bustles of living.

Voltaire and the not-so-random Random House - Los Angeles Times (blog)

Posted: 21 Apr 2010 01:48 PM PDT

On April 25, the New York Public Library's exhibit "Candide at 250: Scandal and Success" will end its six-month run. Times staff writer Adam Schorn recently paid a visit and reports back below.

As a philosophy major (and unapologetic optimist) who has long counted Voltaire's satirical skewering of Rousseau and Leibniz among my favorite works, I knew I'd enjoy the New York Public Library's Candide exhibit. I just didn't realize exactly how much I'd enjoy it.

In a room barely the size of a Manhattan master bathroom, I found all 17 known editions of the book first issued in 1759, as well as a version known as the handwritten "La Vallière Manuscript" -- believed to have been dictated by the author himself to his secretary, Wagnièr -- and a red leather, gold-embossed case that Voltaire most likely carried it in.

Among the nuggets I hadn't known: Voltaire (already a pseudonym for a man born François-Marie Arouet) originally published the book under the pen name "Dr. Ralph"; that the book had been banned by the Catholic Church from publication until barely 50 years ago; and that writer Terry Southern (screenwriter of "Easy Rider," and "Dr. Strangelove") co-authored "Candy," a racy sexual satire based on "Candide" in 1958, while he was under FBI surveillance.

But the most delicious discovery of all came in a video clip, which featured the library's president -- and Voltaire scholar -- Paul LeClerc, who, quite unexpectedly, answered a question that, as a onetime TV game show question-and-answer man (and full-time trivia monkey) had often crossed my mind: What house, exactly, is depicted in the Random House logo (left)?

According to LeClerc, it's anything but random. In this video clip (if you don't have time to watch the whole clip, start at about 3:30), he explains that "Candide" was the first book published under the Random House imprint in 1928, and American artist Rockwell Kent had been commissioned to illustrate a limited-edition volume. (In an additional bit of serendipity, Kent lived for a time in Arlington, Vt., a small town that eventually became my own home stomping grounds).

LeClerc says the image of a house Kent had drawn, and that appeared on the book's colophon page, was intended to depict the home where Candide and his companions lived out their days cultivating their garden as described in the last pages of the story.

"That became the company's logo," LeClerc says. "Which is still in use today."

Is this, as the good Dr. Pangloss would posit, the best of all possible worlds?

No, perhaps not. But for an ardent fan of philosophy and tracker of trivia, for a few hours in Midtown Manhattan, it came awfully close.
