Smith knows all about preparation -- it was one of the defining traits of his superb Major League career -- but even so, this is a one-time experience. And that's probably for the best.
"It can become very taxing, especially when you're trying to move people around," Smith recently told MLB Radio. "You can only invite 15 people here, you can only invite 20 people here, you can only invite 40 people here. So that type of stuff becomes very tedious. So I'll be glad when this part of it is over with, and who knows what's next?"
"The Wizard" has actually been taking it easy recently, enjoying a self-imposed decompression period for the last few days leading up to his induction.
"It can lose its luster a little bit," Smith said at the All-Star Game in Milwaukee. "I've talked to a lot of people about that. That's why [starting] July 18 I'm just going to shut it down and not do anything but play golf up until the day."
"The day" is July 28 in Cooperstown, N.Y., when Smith will be the only player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Broadcaster Harry Kalas and writer Joe Falls will be honored, but for all practical purposes, the 2002 class is a class of one. And that's appropriate for the man who not only wore No. 1, but was unique in his ability to play shortstop.
You can debate the best all-around player, or the best pure hitter, or the best starting pitcher or reliever who ever played the game. But as to the question of the best defensive shortstop, it begins and ends with one name: Ozzie.
"I would say he defined the position of shortstop," said Rick Hummel, long-time Cardinals beat writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Omar Vizquel has come along and whether he plays the same, I don't see enough of him to say. But [Smith] made plays you hadn't seen anybody else make before. Maybe Vizquel's made some since, or [Rey] Ordonez."
Smith has been universally acclaimed in the baseball world. It would be easy for the man known as "The Wizard" to have gotten a big head. There's simply no one in his class when it comes to defense at shortstop.
But despite the accolades, and despite the acclaim lavished on him recently, Smith is still a baseball fan. He still gets excited when he meets Hall of Famers -- who are now his peers. And that's one of the great benefits of joining the Cooperstown fraternity: get-togethers with your fellow enshrinees.
"Ozzie met, for the first time, Phil Rizzuto up in Cooperstown in May when we went up for orientation," said Andy Strasberg, Smith's representative and long-time friend. "I grew up in New York and Phil Rizzuto was a special guy to me. Well, I found out [he] was a special guy to Ozzie. Because after the dinner we both went back to our rooms and going back, Ozzie just turned to me and he said, 'Can you believe it? I just had dinner with the Scooter!' He doesn't get into a situation where, you know, 'I'm a star.' He gets thrilled to meet legends of the game that he had never met before."
Rick Horton spent the majority of his seven-year big league career as a pitcher with the Cardinals, and with Smith as his shortstop. He benefited and learned from the experience.
"I can think of one pitch that I threw in the Major Leagues like it was yesterday," said Horton, who now heads up Baseball Chapel in St. Louis. "I threw Keith Hernandez a fastball, middle in. He hit a bullet right over my head up the middle. And I'm thinking, 'Well, there's a base hit and an RBI.' And I turn around and Ozzie's standing right there. He's standing in the outfield, on the turf ... basically, playing shallow center field is what it looked like.
"And I'm thinking, 'What in the world is he doing there?' He knew based on my pitch selection where he was going to [need to] be. He knew based on [the fact that] Hernandez wasn't a fast runner, he could play deep. [It was] just such a natural thing for Ozzie to position himself correctly."
Fellow Hall-of-Famer Dave Winfield, who played with Smith in San Diego, didn't see greatness when Smith was a young shortstop with a nice glove. Winfield says that Smith is a self-made Hall of Famer.
"Heck, no," Winfield said. "He didn't know how great he was going to be. Nobody did. It started with defense. He covered all kinds of ground. He learned how to hit. He learned how to steal bases. He covered from the third-base line into center field. He really changed the perspective of what shortstop is all about."
Teammates and observers all note the same thing about Smith: his almost fanatical dedication to being the best at what he did. It has carried over into his post-baseball career.
Smith has worked for the now-defunct CNN/SI television network. He served as the host of This Week in Baseball. Most recently he has done television reporting for FOX Sports. Oh, and he runs the Ozzie Smith Foundation, which does charitable work for children and education, he owns a restaurant and he continues to make time for his family.
Now he's applying that drive to being the same old Ozzie. Despite almost incessant travel, and one obligation after another, he hasn't changed from the person he always was.
It hasn't been an easy year in the Cardinals family. With the deaths of broadcaster Jack Buck and pitcher Darryl Kile, die-hard St. Louis fans have grieved a great deal. And make no mistake, though Smith played four seasons with the San Diego Padres, he is a Cardinal.
Smith's enshrinement should provide a needed dose of celebration and joy.
"In light of all of the things that have happened here lately," Smith told MLB Radio, "with the passing of Jack Buck and then the untimely death of Darryl Kile, I think there will probably be an outpouring of Cardinal fans from all over the country for this. Sometimes it's all part of the healing process and I think they'll use this as an opportunity."
They'll be celebrating a man who was a modern-day great playing for a historic franchise. When you think of great Cardinals, you think of Stan Musial, Lou Brock and Bob Gibson. The names are hallowed, like Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio in New York. Smith established himself on a level with the greatest in the history of his team.
"There's probably five guys you put in that class," Hummel said. "Musial, Gibson, Brock, Ozzie and Red [Schoendienst]."
Since his retirement, and especially since the announcement of his induction, Smith has continued to carry himself with pride and dignity. He's been stretched at times, but he's remained a credit to the organization.
"Fortunately for Ozzie, he doesn't need to change the way that he has conducted himself with the media or with fans or with friends," Strasberg said, "because he has always been respectful of the position that he's in in the public's eye as a Major League Baseball player. He is certainly proud of the fact that he's a member of the Hall of Fame, but he's always been respectful of how to carry himself."
Maybe the biggest challenge of all will be the speech he has to give on induction Sunday.
"I don't know how emotional it'll be until I get in the situation," Smith said. "I will say that before the announcement came, being superstitious, I didn't talk about it much. I realized the next day it was easier because I hadn't had a chance to talk about it. That's made it a little bit easier."
One thing's for sure: you can bet he'll be well-prepared for his speech. And it's safe to guess he'll do a fine job with it, just as with everything else he's put his mind to.

my friend brought these home to me when he happened to find them in a garden center in north carolina. i have been looking for quite a while for something to fit over my railing so I could add some color above all the greenery below. the house is an ocean front cottage, and we have given up planting flowers because of the wind, salt and sun here (florida), and I knew we needed something we could easily change out. these fit perfect, and are stable. I left the flowers in their pots so I could change the arrangement as desired. thanks so much for these. I think my neighbors are going to be wanting some once they see mine!

FORT LAUDERDALE (RNN) -Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco said despite the BCS national championship hoopla, the game will come down to the same things they always do – once a few licks are passed.
Diaco dismissed the distractions of the media circus and the city of Miami while sitting on a dais by his star linebacker, Manti Te'o. He and the Fighting Irish are set to face the Alabama Crimson Tide on Monday at Sun Life Stadium.The game settles into itself, Diaco said, and individual battles start to develop. One player looks across the line at the guy on the other team, and there's this little communion, an understanding between warriors."You say, 'You're going to try to block me and I'm going to try to whip you,'" he said. "Forget all the hype, the noise, the lights and the crowd. It's just me and you."For this game, the coolest me vs. you battles will take place between Alabama's offensive line against Notre Dame's front seven.
Opponents have managed to get inside Notre Dame's 20-yard line just 33 times this season and have scored only eight touchdowns, two by the run. Prominent goal-line stands preserved wins against Stanford and Southern California.
Alabama has scored on 51-of-57 visits to the red zone, 41 of those scores were touchdowns.
For the Crimson Tide, it starts with Alabama center Barrett Jones, who was riding a little scooter around campus a week ago so he could keep his messed up foot propped up. He said he'll be 100 percent.
Jones suffered the injury against Georgia in the SEC Championship Game but continued to play, manhandling the Bulldogs' big nose guards and allowing the Tide to run for 350 yards.
Chance Warmack, who made All-American playing guard beside Jones, said if Barrett says he'll be OK, he'll be OK.
"I didn't even think he'd be able to walk," Warmack said. "When I saw him riding that little scooter around."
He's been his old self in practice, Warmack said.
Kaprow Lewis-Moore, the Notre Dame player who will be glaring across the line at Jones, is pretty sure Jones will be tip-top.
Jones is what makes the Alabama offensive line unique, he said. His technique is perfect, he does everything just right. And Lewis-Moore said Warmack is no slouch, either.
"They're in a class by themselves," he said, when asked to compare Alabama's offensive front to anybody else he's seen this year. "They blow big holes for those running backs to run through."
The running backs are Eddie Lacy, the bruiser who ran the ball behind Jones 18 times in the second half of the Georgia game, and T.J. Yeldon, the slashing, speed guy.
"The two running backs make them special, too," Lewis-Moore said. "They're the best we've seen. Most teams have one feature back, they have two. It's hard to prepare for that."
Diaco said part of that preparation is looking at players on the other team and asking his players, "which of those guys would you like to have for a teammate?"
There are a lot of Alabama players who would fit in the Notre Dame program, he said.
Te'o would fit just fine into Alabama's system, based on the things he said. He sounded like he was channeling Alabama coach Nick Saban, who loves to talk about doing everything just right, practicing the way you play and taking care of the little things.
Te'o said when Notre Dame was mounting all those goal line stands, they were doing the same thing they'd do if the ball were on 50-yard line. Play the same way, every play.
The same philosophy carries over to playing Alabama for the national championship.
"Keep focused, settled and calm," he said. "Do the same thing you've done for the last 12 games."
Jones called Te'o the whole package - always around the ball, he leads with his body and his heart. He's their physical and emotional leader.
Diaco said he looks at Alabama and sees what he hopes people see when they look at Notre Dame.
"They play football the way football should be played," he said. "They're a class outfit. There's no false bravado. Coach Saban blends his personality with his whole team."
Warmack said he knows who'll win the battle Saturday. He summed it up in one sentence.
"It'll come down to who makes the least mistakes," he said.

Zaxby's is warning customers of a potential security breach llst that may have resulted in unauthorized access to credit and debit card information.
Certain licensed locations have identified suspicious files on their system which "have been identified by credit card processing companies as common points of purchase for some fraudulent activity."
The following Northeast Cobb-area Zaxby's restaurants are among those where customers may have been affected: 3030 Johnson Ferry Road, 730 Johnson Ferry Road and 2500 Barrett Creek Boulevard.
According to a statement released by Zaxby's, the restaurant chain has notified the appropriate authorities and will continue to cooperate with the investigation.
"During the course of its forensic investigation, Zaxby's Franchising, Inc. identified some suspicious files, including malware, on the licensees' computer systems at certain Zaxby's locations," the release stated. "Because those files could have been used to export guest names and credit and debit card numbers, Zaxby's Franchising, Inc. informed appropriate law enforcement authorities of the potential criminal activity."
The investigation has yet to determine whether any data left the processing systems, but officials are concerned the presence of the suspicious files could indicate the data, which includes credit and debit card information, has been accessed.
As a result of the possible breach, Zaxby's Franchising Inc. is working to implement additional security measures at all of its locations. The company has posted a list of stores known to have been affected by the potential security breach.
"Zaxby's Franchising, Inc. takes the security of guest information very seriously and is working closely with the affected store locations to provide notice to potentially affected guests. Zaxby's Franchising, Inc. encourages all potentially affected guests to monitor their financial accounts for any unauthorized activity and to check their credit scores," the release stated.
According to the Zaxby's website, customers can order a free copy of their credit reports by visiting the website www.annualcreditreport.com, by calling (877) 322-8228, or by completing the Annual Credit Report Form at www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0093-annual-report-request-form.pdf.
Company officials advise customers to promptly report any incident of fraud to local law enforcement, the appropriate state Attorney General's office, and the Federal Trade Commission.

Education about Substance Abuse should be given as early as middle school or high school. Most kids get into the habit because of curiousity, peer pressure, or as a coping mechanism for personal problems. However, if they are educated about the the forms and effects of substance excuse, perhaps it may make some of them think twice before indulging in the vice with careless abandon.

My daughter is in the CCA Leavenworth KS. She has a meth use problem. She has been using for 3 to 3 1/2 years. The drug squad picked her up over a month ago. IF she is lucky she is looking at 3 to 5 years. OK, she needs to pay for her actions but in the meantime, I want my daughter to come home well. I understand that a meth user/abuser will always have to fight the desire for meth. I want help for her. Just incarcenating her is not going to ready her for a life once she is out of prison. What can I do to get her this help and who do I talk to about getting it? Please give me advice as I am desperate in wanting to help her beat this addiction. I have seen such a change in her attitude these last few weeks that I am encouraged but I still don't see that desire to 'live'. Thanks, Cherryl

On this journey called life, I like any other normal person have been through many difficult times. One golden nugget that Ive learned is that it is perfectly normal to go through trials, but it is absolutely abnormal to build a house and reside in the middle of them.
God expects us to reach the promise land, but to celebrate that; we must walk through the desert (sand in our shoes, bad hair days & all). In the AA program we are encouraged to work the steps. Rain or shine we are to continue working towards the solution. Its when we stop and make residence in our troubles; that we set ourselves up for a major fall.
As a kid growing up in the city, my brothers and I along with others from the neighborhood, would finds ways to entertain ourselves during the long summer months. One day (why, I dont know) we all went down a manhole and began a journey through street drainage system. I remember my older brother instructing us all to take hold of the belt loop of the person in front of us. Holding onto that person for dear life, we all eventually saw the light at the end of the tunnel and conquered the darkness.
Like someone once said, If your catching hell, dont hold it and if youre going through hell, DONT STOP.
My friends dont ever roll over and die in your trials. Cry out to a loving God, didnt He promise to never leave you nor forsake you? And if you must, grab onto someone by the belt loop and experience the light of the promise land
Yours on the journey

Is it me or are DUIs being more forcefully administered in a general sense and also concerning VIPS like Mike Tyson and Paris Hilton? I think the message is getting sent loud and clear: the courts don't care if it's VIPs or the average person who drinks irresponsibly and receives a DUI or multiple DUIs—those who drink and drive and get caught and going to have to suffer the legal consequences.

I've been off and on Methadone or something like it since 1971. Nobody would ever suspect it and I've led a pretty decent, responsible and rewarding life except for the instances where people who knew my secret couldn't deal with or accept it. The stigna is horrendous. I would suggest that people who are in need of treatment investigate places like AA or NA first, but if substitution is necessary that is road that needs to be taken. Prisons are filled with the people who can't stay off the drugs and their recidivism rates reflect this. I believe that maintenance programs should be the first place these people should be directed upon their release and exoffenders should be encouraged to participate. It is actaully getting a little better with suboxene and bupreorphine now available. Maintenance isn't the answer for everyone but it should be available if needed.

sorry abby, education is not the answer.
while informative, it is ineffective at preventing drinking and drug use. DARE is a joke to most kids, and a waste of police resources.
as for the rehab scenario, in Ct. a disturbing trend has occurred; the poor get free long term rehab, the wealthy can afford the overpriced self-pay facilities, but the middle class without insurance, has no options.
- August 25, 2008 at 10:00 pm(10) Matt says:
I would say that education *alone* is not the answer. I would also agree that DARE is a failure…but that doesn't mean that a more thoughtfully-run program can't be a success. Education has had a positive impact on smoking rates and alcohol use (to a lesser extent). I work with an addiction treatment center near Sacramento and it is indeed true that many people "in the middle" who need help are getting squeezed. I'd like to see much more thoughtful spending for drug and alcohol programs in this country – and a society that supports and educates rather than one that punishes and incarcerates.
- September 23, 2008 at 10:30 pm(11) Ray says:
Look at all of the other country's that have the drinking age at 18. I feel that the age of drinking will cause more accidents during the first twenty years but after that it should level out. Once alcohol and teens become a norm. Teens should be exposed to alcohol early on so they can understand social drinking.
- October 6, 2008 at 1:36 pm(12) Kristin H. says:
I will back up what firemanjohn said. My husband, a criminologist and national researcher on crime and delinguency, has stated time and again that D.A.R.E is ineffective and a waste of money. So, are the "scared straight" programs.
- October 18, 2008 at 4:29 am(13) Drug Abuse Young Fighter says:
Thanks for the drug abuse news. It's sad to know 1 in 10 UK young people think their parents are involved in drug abuse. Parents should be the first giving the education about drug abuse, not the schools.
- February 24, 2009 at 3:41 pm(14) DopeStats Admin says:
Ok.. I have a new, free, public service to seriously help on the war on drugs. As of today, drug use statistics are reported to people based on anonymous surveys that are usually conducted in the following, but not all situations:
In-Person Household Surveys
Phone Household Surveys
In-School Surveys
Arrestee or Jail Surveys
Medical Data
Law Enforcement Data
and other data types can be used as well.. For more information, visit this article on erowid:
We still have to mention the more important fact that there still cannot be accurate(!) data collection for drug use statistics because of "Simple Survey Errors".
"..For instance, in 1997, the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA or NHS) encountered a strange problem with survey administration. Surveyors recorded that nearly 10% of selected respondents over the age of 18 could not complete the survey because their parents refused to let them participate." (More info visit http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/statistics/statistics_article2.shtml)
In an effort to raise drug use awareness and promote the progress of our society, I've been developing a new tool that reports drug use statistics that are otherwise already reported by government agencies like the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This however, goes beyond just reporting statistics for the USE of substances.
DopeStats.com reports statistics on the use and cost of over 300 substances in 3,140 U.S counties. That is, it reports
Average price
Median price
Mode Price
Total Economic Cost
for each of the 300 substances in each of the 3,140 U.S counties. It also produces maps that visually show drug use in each county of the United States. The process to do all of this is simple and intuitive: Ask people to fill out a brief (less than a minute), anonymous survey in each U.S county.
Since this tool seems to solve the problems mentioned above, and because it is a very useful tool for parents, researchers, law enforcement officials, and anyone else interested in seeking information about the war on drugs, and because its quick and free(!), why not give it a statistic? DopeStats.com also reports statistics for Nicotine, Alcohol, Tylenol, and many other legal substances too.

Alcohol is the strongest scourge of the world at this time ! Our youth are guzzling it down, as if it were Diary Queen Milkshakes !
Currently, there are five (5) common health afflictions, scattered world wide, and all from what many of us thought was moderate drinking ! Well………it's not !!!
Moderate drinking of stiff drinks, should be no more than 1-2 per week Maximum !
These illness's hit with no forewarning signs, and are severe & permenant, as there are no known cures !
They are, and in no particular order:
-Grand Mal Seizures
-Rapidly Progressive Blindness
-Rapidly Progressive Deafness
-Rapidly Corroded Livers
-Heart Attacks
We must to do something to at least spread this warning !
What we need is our Government Leaders to take a stand and pass legislation, for mandatory health warning labels on all liquor containers ! They did it on Cigarette's, so why not Alcohol ???
Perhaps then we may see at least 50% of our youth, avoiding these health problems !!
If we don't do something pretty soon, tell me, whats going to happen when all us old sods are in nursing homes….? Who will be able to assume our professions ???
When our youth are already destroying their own health & futures ???????
May God help us all !

I work with clients suffering with addiction and i am curious about the GABA-A effect on alcoholism recovery. Is this something that a person may use while in the early stages of treatment to help enhance the chances of successful abstience from alcoholism or is it also something one can do to remain free of cravings for alcohol. Also, is this something we as consumers can buy over the counter and take with our vitiams in the morning?
I love the information available on this site and have used it for some of my clients as a tool to make healthy choices. Thank you!

Great site, we need this stuff, all of us in recovery. I have devoted my life to carrying the message in my book, web site and speaking, it is truly my passion because we need to give it away so we can keep it. Two things I have tried and they work, A.A. and God, the two work hand in hand for real recovery, fredom from addiction and a better life, I do not want to be just dry, a drunk without a drink or a drug, other wise what is the point? I'll join in, contribute, share my experience, strength and hope, when the hand reaches out we must be there.

I would like to see a better relation between AA, Alanon, and Alateen in schools. I feel that in middle and high schools there is a lack of awareness from the parents and students as well of the resources that are available to deal with alcoholism and substance abuse. I think that making these support programs available to families in places where they are always at, whether by that name or another, would hep. For most young adults…in the hardest years, aa and alanon are either misconstrued ideas or they havent been exposed to the existence of these programs. Schools are the centers of communities. I think it would be appropriate.

Age 18. I had came to Utah on a scholarship to Brigham Young University. I was full of hopes and dreams.
I had a lot to learn and it was heading straight for me like a freight train. Because of some set backs in life I moved home.
Age 20. I came back to Utah for my second round from Texas and Arkansas. I had a different mind set.
Some maturity and experiences had given me some insight in the world.
Heck I had been engaged twice, almost killed New Years Eve 1988 by a drunk driver, and received a big cash settlement.
My views & opinions of the world had changed.
This time I was ready to conquer the world.
The world didn't even know what had hit it.
It all happened so fast and with little or no effort.
I had entourage of 8 to 12 boys to always to have my back, fast cars, money, women, and my own business to boot!
Life was so fun, fast pace, and easy. It seemed like nothing could stop me, or so I thought.
I became more predominant in Utah County. My business exploded from 6 to over 200 clients. I had more friends then I could name. And a beautful women always by my side me. (keeping in tradition with my first fiance ). Life was hot!
Life was so fun, fast pace, and easy. Life was hot!
It seemed like nothing could stop me, or so I thought
Age 22. But then the worst thing I could do I did.
So lightly, casually, innocently and without thought.
I took my first real drink of hard alcohol.
It was fun at first and only on a social occasions.
I never got sick, I could out drink most people and no hangovers. What's the big deal. This is good and fun.
Not a problem what so ever.
Yet, what I didn't know was I had unleashed a demon inside me that had haunted 3 other generations before me.
I am a proud member of the Cherokee Indian Nation 1/4.
I knew damn well alcoholism ran in my family, but me never!
I kept under control the first 7 years but the disease is progressive. I became a 4th generation Indian alcoholic.
Age 30. No more clubs, no more parties. Just stay at home and drink by myself. I became a hostage in my own room going on benders for days and even weeks at a time refusing any calls, visitors, and even help. I got up to drinking almost a gallon of vodka a day (vodka only no beer or anything else).
Age 35. Horrible and life threating withdrawls that would last 3 to 7 days. Nightmares, cold sweats, hallucinations and seizures. In the last 7 years of my disease I had to have medical attention when i was coming off the sauce.
Liquor brought me nothing but a lot of pain.
It led to mistakes, regrets and suffering like no other.
The horror stories I could tell you but won't.
Finally I could take it no longer I wanted to die.
I prayed for a miracle.
Anything to stop the misery.
Age 39. Then he came.
My little angel from heaven, Gabriel.
It was then I knew I had to take the steps to start changing my life.
I wanted to so much to leave a Legacy that my son Gabriel could be proud of.
Not one that could lead Gabriel to be a 5th generation alcoholic.
I had to break the cycle. Not just for me but for Gabriel.
Age 42. I would like to say it was easy but that would be a lie.
It took over five years, 4 rehabs, a sponsor, a lot prayers from family and friends ( most said by my mama Sandra Dean Wiggins) and finally a lot of AA meetings, etc., that I finally beat The Disease of Alcoholism.
Last year 2009 I also got the help with a drug called Vivitrol. The shot is expensive $700, but it's only once a month.
It takes away the cravings, the ability to get drunk, and will make you sick if you do drink. It has been a miracle for me and a blessing! Now I am much healthier and happy.
Since I have using Vivitrola and continued working my program I have not had one drink. I can finally start progressing again.
Life is much simpler now. No more hangovers or blackouts.
I still attend my meetings regularly and I am a sought out speaker at AA, NA and LDS 12 step meetings.
I love and enjoy telling my story to try to help others.
And to be completely honest do I miss it,
Yes, life does get boring and lonesome sometimes.
But then I see Gabriel laugh or smile,
That is when I thank God and I pause and pray.
God give me the strength and the wisdom I need.
Take It Easy, One Day At A Time. Your Worth It! Amen.
So that is my story. I ainte telling no lies nor making any excuses. But this what happens when what starts abuses.
Thanks for listening. Got questions or comments?

I can simply that alcohol is a slow but painful death. We must have to come forward to help the alcohol addicted people as well do things like, social awareness, fresh health campaign etc.
- June 8, 2010 at 4:44 am(27) Henry Leland says:
Statistically alcohol awareness campaigns only help a small to medium quantity of those who have a drink problem.
The main (Or certainly a big cause) is the selling of alcohol by retailers. with this method you buy as much as you want, drink as much as you want and there is no one to say no to you but also no-one to help you should you suddenly have an alcohol induced attack in your home.
If you go to a bar (Or 'Pub' since I am British) there is usually cctv and security to monitor you and when the bar staff can see you have had too much they can refuse to serve you.
Oh comment 11, a Mr Ray is it? I do not think teens and drinking should become the norm, in Britain we are not allowed to smoke in Pubs and clubs, the ever increasing taxes on alcohol importation and use have led to our cheapest pints to be at least £2.50 (Approximately $3.75 if I am correct) whereas before most were between £1-£2. this has led at least in my country to as I said before drink in their own homes where little help is there if they have an alcohol induced attack, there is also a lot of teens here who purchase from the retailers for younger people and then drink on a public bench in full daylight!
Add to that the news that the british NHS (National Health Service) is now seeing cirrosis of the liver in british people as young as their early 20′s and I again do not believe that it should be the norm.
My solution to reduce the number of alcoholics is to up the price of retail saled alcohol to the level where it is cheaper to go to a pub where they will monitor and look after you and when the time comes they will refuse to serve you meaning you can never have more than you can handle.
I feel I bring up a valid point and would welcome any constructive criticism.

I have a niece that was ordered by the courts to go through TASC because she got caught with a joint 2 weeks after her 18th birthday. TASC is nothing but a revenue generator. She sat through an hour long class and then had to submit urine tests. The only form of payment acceptable was money order. Between the cost of the urinalysis and having to buy money orders it cost about $120.00 a month. Add that to the thousands charged for the honor of being allowed to be in the program. Legally she had to submit clean samples for 2 months and she could be done. Not difficult considering she had no drug problem when she entered the program- she was an honor student who got a little carried away with turning 18. However satisfying the courts is not enough. You are forced to remain in the program until you pay off the program costs, which is a bit difficult when you are making minimum wage and are forced to pay $120 a month for continued unnecessary testing. Counselers are a joke, thier primary job is to collect money. The TASC staff took great pride in telling my neice how they have people in the program for years because, while they can scrape up the money for the biweekly testing, they cannot afford to pay off the program costs. They thought that was very funny. Court sponsered theives, thats what TASC is.

Cherryl, it's good that you want to get some help for your daughter, but she neet to want to help for herself and is willing go after her recovery like she did her drugs. Tell her that you love her and want to see her get and stay in recovery but she has to take the first step buy finding out and getting into a recovery program while she is in jail.

"…Currently, there are five (5) common health afflictions, scattered world wide, and all from what many of us thought was moderate drinking!"
The writer failed no mention the NUMBER ONE health affliction associated with so-called "moderate" alcohol consumption: BRAIN DAMAGE.
That's right, a couple of drinks per week over 20 years is guaranteed to shrink your brain. How many politicians, police officers, and judges are suffering from alcohol-induced brain damage?

Gary Lee Gammenthaler — You should read my page titled "The Stages in An Alcoholic Life" on my blog http://www.immortalalcoholic.blogspot.com. The journeys sound much the same.
David Dickinson — Besides the brain damage that is being done from "normal" drinking — alcoholics are much more likely to suffer strokes and that brain damage is usually permanent. Thanks for the web link — I can use it in my blog.

ARLINGTON -- Two high school basketball teams from El Paso are enjoying a weekend in Dallas and tickets to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship because of one extraordinary gesture on the court. Their story made national news as an example of good sportsmanship.
When El Paso Coronado takes on arch rival Franklin, it's always a battle to the end, says Franklin forward Jonathon Montanez.
"We just go at it," he grins.
Franklin stayed close in the final regular season game between the two 5A District 1 high schools.
But no matter how close it got, Coronado coach Peter Morales had already decided how it would end: with senior Mitchell Marcus making his first shot.
"I wanted to surprise Mitchell with the last game of the season," Morales said.
Mitchell Marcus has developmental disabilities. He's the trainer, not a player.
But no one is more devoted.
"Mitchell Marcus will text me before every game and tell me, 'Coach, we've got to do this today. Coach, this is the key to victory,'" Morales said. "Just an amazing guy who deserves a chance at life."
So for senior night, he suited up. And with a minute-and-a-half left, he went in.
Coronado was up by 15, but Franklin played hard. Over and over, Mitchell's teammates got him the ball.
Over and over, Mitchell missed. With seconds ticking away, Franklin got the ball.
"And I'm like, '10 seconds to go and this kid is not going to get his moment -- not going to get to score,'" coach Morales said.
That's when Franklin's Jonathon Montanez surprised everyone by in-bounding the ball to Mitchell, instead of his own team.
With fans on both sides screaming his name, Mitchell scored.
"It was amazing," Mitchell told us. "I wanted to play my last game. That was my dream come true and it did."
Fans filled the floor, and carried Mitchell on their shoulders.
Montanez said he was taught to treat others the way he would want to be treated.
"I just thought it was the right thing to do at the right moment to give him the ball," he said.
Mitchell's mom watched in tears.
"There wasn't a dry eye in the place," Amy Marcus said. "So much love in that gym. So thankful to Jonathon."
Because of that sportsmanship, Marriott International and the NCAA are treating both teams to a weekend in Dallas, and seats for the Sweet 16 in Arlington. The teams will be recognized at halftime Friday night.
Mitchell Marcus just might hear the crowd chanting his name one more time.

Matilda 2010
A: Pours a gorgeous unreal light orange blonde that shimmers brilliantly clear revealing a crisp white head that raps the edges of the glass(snifter)
S: I cant pull my nose away from this glass, it smells sooo good. I get hit with a spicey pear that is infused with a mellow belgian yeast character.
T: Very tasteful with an elegantly beautiful belgian character dominated by pear and hints of green apple
M: Wonderfully dry and refreshingly crisp. Easy to drink with bold carbonation
O: This beer was excellent after a year and five months of age on it. Would love to try fresh to compare, definitely would buy again

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Just picked it up from the grocery store, so no refrigeration.
Appearance: Golden with a bit of haze and a nice, steady stream of bubbles. Poured with about a finger-width of foam at the top. Foam does a nice job of lingering, but not obnoxiously so.
Smell: Definitely... different. Get the bananas, cloves... I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Is this the "funk" that others are talking about? Interesting and complex, to say the least.
Taste: VERY complex. Yeasty, sweat, and with a hint of hops all in one sip. I keep having to drink this thing down just to be able to try and figure out all the different flavor notes. I may empty my glass just trying to figure this one out. This is REALLY REALLY delicious - that much I can say.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, and pretty clean. Lingers slightly, but it's not a bad linger by any stretch. Makes me want to drink more of it. Definitely not a bad thing.
Overall: I might down the entire 4 pack I bought tonight. This is disappearing from my glass at a surprising pace. Keeper! It'll be hard to cellar if I buy it because I'll just want to keep drinking it.

2009 vintage, nearly four years old. Thanks, Kevin. Matilda pours a foggy copper outlined with some lighter brushings of amber at the edges. Though at first glance it may appear completely opaque, it has the lightest bit of translucency as I can see a faint silhouette of my hand on the other side of the glass. No head - just white, wispy collar. Not a huge surprise given the age of the brew.
The aroma is quite a bit different than I was expecting, but nearly better in every way. Heavy notes of dru, musky funk and an undeniable barrel-presence that oversees the whole process. Damp cellar, dirty cobwebs, and barnyard floor all come to mind when sniffing this funky brew. It's not without it's tart offset, though - generous helpings of lightly acetic vinegar, harsh apple skins, and lemon juice add a touch of tartness and combat the funk for center stage.
I'm already pretty impressed with the aroma, and the first sip keeps things rolling. A substantially dry and cheesecloth-y funk is the first flavor to run out of the gate, but it's quickly followed up with abrupt apple skins that play the fine-line between tart and astringent just a bit. Lemon, vinegar, and heavy tannins play hard mid-palate and add nice complexity to this Belgian style brew.
Matilda is pretty damn spritzy and effervescent on the palate, biting the tongue on all sides and really projecting the flavors forward with each and every sip. The nice tart spikes that sift through the mostly-funky static are really enjoyable, especially considering that I wasn't expecting much of anything from this beer. The finish is full of more tannin and dry oak, making the barrel-aging known and clearing your palate for each successive sip.
Very nice brew. I haven't had one fresh, so I don't know what four years has done to this brew, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Quite a nice mixture of funkiness and tartness, never leaning too heavily towards one side, though the funk may have the lead by just a nose. If you've had this fresh and didn't like it, I recommend sitting on it for a while.

4.69/5 rDev +16.4%
A: A deep golden beer with excellent clarity. Pours with a finger of fine to rocky, off-white faom that leave fine lacing on the glass.
S: Lots of floral hops and orange aroma with a some black pepper. There is a moderate amount of bubble gum, barn yard brett aroma in there.
T: Fruity and spicy with a touch of honey-like malt sweetness. There is a moderately-low hops bitterness. Some brett funk. Oranges, peaches and black pepper. The balance is a slightly sweet and the finish is medium.
M: Medium bodied with a strong level of carbonation.
O: Exceptional, everything I want in a Belgian Strong like fruit and black pepper without being all that sweet with a satisfying brett character.

2009 vintage
Nose starts off with bread and subtle brett and a spicy hop note, toffee, and a biscuit dough note that is a little to pronounced for me.
The flavors are very unusual. A kiwi-like fruitiness mid palate, caramel, watermelon, orange, with a slight tart touch. It remains fairly sweet overall.
Not bad, though I would like to try an older bottle to see if the brett comes out more and the flavors synch up a little better.

bottled 03/2006, sampled 05/07
A: gunsmoke and a mild eruption. age and bottle conditioning have produced an agitated beer. medium brown body with amber hue. over fluffy white head. a few splotches, not much.
S: spicey, bready, yeasty. husk and pepper, ginger, a tinge of alcohol and some peach fuzz kinda fruityness. light funk.
T/M: body is light, a bit prickly. over carbonated due to its age, needs to be worked out with agitation and air. softens up with time. very bready and yeasty, almost overly so. lightly fruity, funky, hints of wasabi and soy, starch and salt. a bit spicey but not as present as in the nose. finishes dry and slightly astringent.
D: decent. doesnt offend by any means but doesnt really beg for much more.
overall a nice beer. seems like a solid foundation for a few tweaks and the eventual production of a really nice beer. i wonder how much the age in the bottle has effected it but as i find it, this beer is lacking a complexity, and artistry readily available in other belgian examples.

10oz bottle that was bottled on 10/10/08. Donated to the cause by a friend.
A: Nice clear dark golden color. Plenty of carbonation. Creamy head, great head retention and nice frothy lacing.
S: Yeasty, phenols, fruity pears, almost a wheat dryness
T: Tangy fruitiness like the smell is up front. Goes quickly into a phenolic taste but also some has sweet maltiness. Good amount of hop - very well balanced. Overall flavor is not that complex but seems to be delicate and well done.
M: Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Fuller body than you would expect. Plenty of carbonation that adds plenty of life without the prickly aggression.
D: I am not the biggest fan of Belgian ales but this is a really nice brew. I'd be happy to have it again and I'd love to try it at Goose. I would also be interested to see how this flavor manifests itself over time.

Who can resist having a mini bridesmaid or two? They look adorable in the wedding photos, with their cute little dresses, shoes and flowers. It's a delight for her family and a dream come true for the little bridesmaid herself to be chosen. In English tradition, the wedding party followed a little girl throwing petals all the way to the church, a perfect symbol of innocence. We have put together a superb collection of sweet gifts and accessories that will just make her day. Even the littlest bridesmaids need to know a little about what will be happening. 'My Day as a Bridesmaid' is a wonderful little book to help a mini bridesmaid understand what will take place and look forward to the part she has to play. A fun bridesmaid sticker book is another entertaining and helpful way to let her share in the preparations.
We have some adorable gifts for your little bridesmaid, and even some special gift bags to put them in. She may like a little writing set with fairy or princess theme, a fairy pop-up castle or a sweet satin purse. A silver cross and chain in an engraved box or a locket and chain will offer a lasting memory of the day and a bridesmaid's pocket mirror would be a popular choice. We have a fab range of keepsake boxes for her to store her treasures in, from tiny boxes to large decorated ones that will preserve the whole outfit. And any little bridesmaid will love to keep a special thank you teddy with her name on as a cuddly reminder of her big day. After the event, the family can have fun filling one of our special record books or photo albums with memories and would be delighted to take home a pretty little goodie bag of treats.

A's starters Mark Mulder and Barry Zito, closer Keith Foulke and catcher Ramon Hernandez will all be making the trip to Chicago for the 74th All-Star Game. The four Oakland players selected is the most for Oakland since 1991.
"That really strikes a nerve because you're talking about the guys you're going out there and facing every day," Zito said. "When you gain the respect of your peers, it's a good feeling.
"That's pretty trippy. It's cool."
Two of Oakland's All-Star representatives have distinct ties to the Windy City. Foulke, who spent six seasons in the White Sox bullpen and Chicago-area native Mulder should feel very comfortable in familiar surroundings.
Mulder, who came into his own as a baseball player as a youngster in South Holland, Ill. -- about 20 miles south of Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field -- will represent the green and gold on the South Side thanks to his first-ever All-Star selection.
Foulke, acquired for former A's closer Billy Koch in the offseason, has been nearly automatic for the A's in earning his first All-Star selection. The right-handed control pitcher has stymied the opposition, only blowing four save opportunities through the first two months of the season and leading the AL in saves for much of the first half, with 21 after Sunday's game.
"There are a lot of catchers having a great season," Hernandez said. "I guess I got lucky. Thanks to everyone for giving me a chance to go. ... Hopefully it won't be my last All-Star game."
Two guys even happier for Hernandez's selection than the catcher himself were Zito and A's manager Ken Macha.
"Ramon's been great," Zito said. "I think he's starting to be recognized now as one of the better catchers in the game. Obviously offensively, but even more than that -- defensively. A guy that can handle a staff like ours and a guy that can work with us and know the hitters as well as he does. A lot of the times we'll just trust him. Whatever he puts down we go with it and more than every time he's right."
Said Macha: "I have a little bit of a soft-spot in my heart about Ramon. Sometimes the work he does gets under-appreciated. It's not just the offensive end of it. Somebody who handles a pitching staff like he does is very deserving -- regardless of what he hits. He's been an All-Star for me for the past couple of years."
With Foulke, Zito and Mulder all having the chance to take the hill when he's catching, Hernandez is especially looking forward to the trip.
"Hopefully I'll get to catch them," Hernandez said. "If not, I'll catch the guys I catch. I'll be proud of them -- they all deserve it."
Going into his final two starts before the All-Star break, the lefty with one of baseball's most devastating curveballs had an 8-5 mark with a 3.12 ERA.
Byrnes spent Spring Training earning a spot on the roster and most of April on the bench. Once Jermaine Dye went on the disabled list in late April, Byrnes got his chance and has made the most of it, leading the A's in hitting from the leadoff position. On June 29, he became the fifth Oakland player to hit for the cycle with a 5-for-5 day in San Francisco.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania company says it has found a better way to help the nation's schools battle bullying – with the click of a computer mouse.
A program called Hibster, created by Coast 2 Coast Cellular, allows school officials to quickly file, report and track bullying and intimidation accusations and to spot trends, said Chief Operating Officer Lonta Townsend.
In the past two years, more that 200 schools have adopted the Hibster software program in New Jersey, where a strict 2011 law has mandated that school leaders both report and address bullying accusations. With other states considering similar moves, Townsend said the company has new opportunities to take the program nationwide.
"We've created a universal reporting system that I don't think anyone else can match," said Townsend. "It gives schools a program that is set up specific to each state's guidelines ... and streamlines the information collection and reporting process."
Coast 2 Coast's operations director, Beth Freiwald, said the software was conceived three years ago as a way to help schools battle bullying. The development came at a time when stories across the country drew attention to students who had killed themselves because of mistreatment at school and through social networks.
New Jersey crafted requirements in 2011 forcing state schools to document, investigate and resolve accusations of bullying. State guidelines require school administrators, parents involved and board leaders to be alerted of findings. Schools were expected to quickly implement the new guidelines, and some worried about the cost.
Townsend said that's where Hibster comes in. The software program saves school officials time by eliminating the paper process, providing an efficient reporting program so schools "don't have to reinvent the wheel" to comply.
School staff and administrators are able to add data into the program, selecting the type of offense and location where it occurred. They also can upload surveillance camera video or screenshots of social media harassment, if applicable, Freiwald said.
