Battlefield Bad Company Blows Up 0
Battlefield Bad Company could have used a bit more polish, but still plays as a Battlefield game should. On the surface Battlefield Bad Company is just another Battlefield game where you can play as several classes of infantry and quickly hop into light vehicles, APCs, tanks, and helicopters. Play it for a bit and it doesn't take long to notice some new and significant additions such as a tangible single player game, destructible environments, but also a lot of small bugs / flaws.

Eternal Sonata - Cheesy but playable 0
If you enjoy sweet, even sappy, JRPGs where the world shines like a sort of CG animated Candy Land then Eternal Sonata is likely the game for you. However, if you're somewhat ambivalent toward the more emotion heavy JPRGs, or if you require a stiff challenge from your RPGs then there is a good chance that Eternal Sonata isn't the game for you. Eternal Sonata tells the story of Frederic Chopin's life and final days on his death bed and a world that he may or may not be imagining in his sleep. Th...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

What the Slow Food movement can teach the United States about education reform
A counter-intuitive argument for why the country should spend more money on the assessments
Groups often fight over what gets taught in schools, but new research suggests people's religious community might have a greater effect on their beliefs about the origins of life.
Online courses are reshaping higher education. But what does that mean for hands-on learning in scientific fields?
Private high schools in New England charge more than $35,000 a year on average in tuition.
The burden of student debt is fairly uniform, but the burden of repaying it varies across disciplines.
Scholarly articles, filled with indubitable knowledge and analysis, only exist for the general public behind pricey paywalls. So one lecturer is advocating for them to be free of charge.
Preschool and prekindergarten are the same thing—aren't they?
How educators are taking STEM education out of traditional classrooms
The Department of Education has branded "tracking"—designating students for separate educational paths based on their academic performance—as a modern day form of segregation.
Is prekindergarten for all actually the solution for closing the achievement gap? Some experts say no.
The secret may lie in the city's inherent diversity.
Teaching technology and life lessons in an urban elementary school
Greater emphasis on humanities means more well-rounded decision making
Colleges in the four states where marijuana is now legal are having a tough time figuring out where they stand on the issue.
But original thinking could be declining among students because of the growing emphasis on test-taking in schools.
With teacher turnover rate at 36 percent, charter schools are trying a bold new strategy: on-site childcare for employees.
In New York, the out-of-sight, out-of-mind ban is enforced predominantly at schools with metal detectors—the same schools that could benefit the most from technology-friendly policies.
How much is too much? Charter schools are trying to stem burnout and high teacher turnover with work-life balance policies.
The desire to be around similar people is universal, but not all high schools break down into hardened, John Hughes-style clusters and hierarchies. Why not?
In districts where distances are wide and budgets are tight, even the most basic chemistry lab may be out of reach.

The confirmation hearing of Ashton Carter, President Barack Obama's nominee for deputy secretary of Defense, highlighted the dilemma the Defense Department is facing. On the one hand, DOD must cut billions of dollars in spending. On the other hand, it has to maintain combat readiness and, perhaps most importantly politically, keep the support of members of Congress whose constituents are in need of jobs and economic gains.
So it's not surprising that during his confirmation hearing, Carter pledged his best efforts to cut defense spending by more than $300 billion in the next 10 years while also pledging his full support for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) had threatened to stall Carter's nomination until Carter assured him of his commitment to the program, Foreign Policy reports. Lockheed Martin builds the F-35s in Texas.
During the hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carter vowed that if confirmed, he would work closely with Congress to identify and recommend cuts and savings that could realistically be implemented to help avoid the sweeping cuts that will kick in if a so-called super committee fails to pass a plan by mid-October to trim the federal budget.
However, those recommendations are supposed to be based on the results of a broad internal DOD review, which Carter said is now behind schedule. But the automatic cuts that would result from the super committee's inability to agree on a strategy would be draconian, Carter said. He warned more than once that if the $500 billion-plus, across-the-board automatic cuts to defense spending were enacted under the sequestration process, it would be devastating to the military.
"Just the scale of it alone would lead us to have to consider truly draconian things: abandoning major weapons systems, furloughing civilian employees and abruptly curtailing training because we couldn't pay for fuel, and so forth," Carter said. "When we say 'disastrous,' that's the kind of disaster we mean."

Moving Windows Media Player from SSD

Posted March 9, 2013 at 10:09AM
Hi, my pc is 7 months old. It has a 120Gb SSD primary drive that Windows 7 Home Prem is installed on and last time i looked there was under 50Gb free space left. However, alongside the SSD is a 1Tb HDD that's virtually empty by comparison. I've downloaded Picassa 3 to it and now put my photos there instead of using Windows' gallery. And so to my question. Can i put my music collection onto the HDD but still use WMP to play/rip/burn etc, or even move WMP to the HDD to do this? Alternatively, is there something similar that i can install on the HDD that will do a similar job to WMP, ie, store my collection and burn to cd if req (i have some vinyl i want to store too)? Thanks - Tony

You can store the media on the 1TB drive but keep WMP on the SSD.
All you need is to point WMP to the music files in its settings.

Burning Desire to Share
Q: "I have nearly 2 1/2 years of sobriety. Recently I have been faced with a couple of situations which are baffling me."
A: "If we are painstaking about this phase of our development,........We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
"One a person who was abusive has returned to the fellowship." Is it up to you to decide who is allowed to return to the fellowship?
"While it is only 3 hours away I am experiencing major anger."
Aren't your daughters worth a six hour round trip? Or are they possessions which are being taken away from you?
Since you have asked for suggestions, I will offer up what works for me.
I pray for the courage to change and to accept conditions for what they are. This works for me and, apparently, thousands of other recovering alcoholics like me.
I suggest you pray for the courage to change. LJ
Hi. Since you have asked for suggestions I will offer one from my experience. More times than not I must change to meet conditions as they are. I make the choice for change for my sobriety and I will go to any length to ensure that I stay sober.
I suggest you pray for the courage to change to meet conditions and accept them for what they are. LJ
You asked, "What do all suggest?" Well, don't pick up the first drink and seek maturity. Give up control and practice a few principals and you will be okay. There are consequences from our drinking that chase us far into our recoveries. Put your hand out to a new person and if that doesn't work perhaps its time for a Psych Eval. Anger can be a symptom of underlying mental illness. Alcohol damages the brain in many ways. Sometimes relapses occur not because someone is doing the steps wrong but, because they are not addressing the real problems. Even the founder of AA had diagnosable mental illness. It's common in the rooms. How could it not be after all?
I believe our recovery starts when we let our sponsors go and begin the journey standing on our own two feet. I haven't had a sponsor in 25 years and let mine go after my first year. He said I was heading in the wrong direction but, he was not correct. In fact, my spiritual growth took flight. He had held me back with rules and regulations. I think sponsorship was helpful to a point but, I realized he could not keep me sober. Sponsors can point us in the right direction but, the rest is up to us. Does anyone feel the same way? I really don't understand the necessity of sponsorship after the first year or two. Living the calm.
I was taught early on that there is no seniority in A.A. so I tend to avoid speaking of it. I have a few 24 hour periods. My first sponsor, long in the grave, was a true blessing to me. He gave me his 90 day token and suggested that one day I give it to someone I sponsor. A long time went by but I eventually did do exactly that paying it forward long before the movie of the same name. As time goes by for me the wisdom of A.A. has become more a lifestyle based on that often heard and shared 6 word "how it works".......Find God.....clean house.....help someone. The sobriety is actually my favorite "side effect" of working the program. Being a sponsor is the same as having a sponsor to me. I often ask myself who's sponsoring whom??? I try not to add to or take away from A.A. Fixing something that's not broke never has made much sense to me. A.A. is not as successful as it once was. Not sure why. Maybe we've changed it without noticing......Peace!
Sponsoring you was to keep him sober not you.
I let my sponsor go for different reasons. My wife said he was making unhealthy advances at her and she felt creepy around him. He was showing up at our house during the day when I was at work pretending to talk about the program with her. She is not an alcoholic but, a mature responsible person who has her won business in the house. I confronted him and he denied it. The next sponsor I got was sober many years and he said that guy had a reputation for stalking. Not everyone in the rooms is there to get sober. I learned to be careful who I talk with because you never know. We actually moved and I changed my meetings around because the creep was seen on our street. Now I don't let anyone know where I live or work in the rooms. My new sponsor said he didn't want to know where I lived or worked. He is concerned more with what I am doing today to stay away from the first drink. People freely talk about vacations in the meetings and some of them have had their places been broken into. Just my experience probably not the norm.
You said, "Sponsoring you was to keep him sober not you." Unfortunately he drank and died soon after. It was a good decision on my part. Perhaps I intuitively picked up something and realized I had to push him away. When you stick around the rooms you witness all kinds of things. Why does the guy voted most likely to drink again stay sober for years while Mr.Sobriety drinks again? God only knows. My sponsor did pass on one nugget of wisdom. He said, "You have to do what's best for you, forget everyone else. They can't keep you sober."
I agree. As a sponsee/ sponsor over the last 20 years, my sponsees have done more to keep me on track than my sponsor. Like they say, if you really want to learn something, teach it! That being said I cannot emphasize enough what I have gained by having a sponsor who is a ahead of me in sobriety.
I take my messes to my sponsor and the message to the meetings. I have someone who took me through the steps in the big book and someone who taught me to take inventory and he listened to my 5th steps. I have someone I can check my motives with. I know he has clay feet and is not perfect. None of us are, but he has never once led me astray. He has never once told me what I should do, only what he has done.
After all these years, I still make a weekly call or talk to him after our meeting. There is one person in this world who really knows me, and I am so thankful for that. I am grateful that my ego had been deflated enough through working AA's steps that I didn't really think I had outgrown my sponsor after a year or two.
Funny thing is in church today our pastor talked about Proverbs 13:20, He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. AA isn't the first place to suggest a sponsor or mentor, sponsors have been around for a long time, and God willing will continue.
The 20 yr guy nailed it.
One addition, the 12x12 suggests we do a annual or semi-annual inventory. Might want to have someone around that you trust for that one.
I was pretty crazy when I walked in to AA so my judgment picking a sponsor wasn't very good. By the time I figured out his number I was in better shape to see who had good sobriety instead of a good line. I kept the next one until he died years later. After that when I had a problem for which two heads were better than one I sought out men with good sobriety that I knew were knowledgeable on the subject. One thing I've heard a lot was - yeah, me too. Same message – you are not alone. It's a great program if I apply myself to it.
The last time I went to many meetings in one place I found that newcomers still pick sponsors based on how much gold chain they wear and the fact that they live in meetings instead of picking up the tools for sobriety and building a new life. Just like I did. Que sera, sera. (Whatever will be will be)
You tried one and didn't like it? I bet you gave booze a better chance than that.
Well I didn't let my sponsor go but, he let me go for exactly the same reason. Similar to what you mentioned he pointed me to the path and wished me the best after my first year. That was in the early eighties. I'm grateful for that because he was humble to realize that sponsors are fallible human beings and not gods, fathers, mothers, psychologists, priests, gurus, bosses or BFF's. Being dependent on a sponsor is like being dependent on the bottle. We must learn to make choices and mistakes on our own and not blame someone else when they turn sour. I appreciate the subject.
A year or two? The seventieth has been my toughest so far. Cunning, baffling, powerful I think is the phrase. Bill W still had a sponsor when he died. I'm sorry that I buried the two I've had.
"Bill W still had a sponsor when he died."
True, his sponsor was Ebby T. He carried the message to Bill, he didn't sit around the Oxford Group meetings waiting for Bill to come in and ask him to be his sponsor. Nor did he tell Bill to call him every day, to write an essay proving his life was unmanageable, or any of the many things 'sponsors' do today. He did what the Big Book tells us to do in Chapter 7. He didn't talk down to him from any moral or spiritual hilltop, he simply laid out the kit of spiritual tools for his inspection and told Bill how they worked with him(page 95).
You seem to know a lot about what Bill's sponsor did and didn't do in the thirty seven years between 1934 and 1971.
Isn't what you are doing the same as you are critisizing? One person deciding what is best for another. I think I'll stick with AA's "Questions and Answers on Sponsorship" myself.
I agree. I've "self-sponsored" for a few years now and my program has grown. I talk to AA friends and stuff but don't want or need another sponsor.
It is necessary to have a guide for the spiritual journey. Choose a master, for without one this journey is full of trials, fears, and dangers. With no escort, you would be lost on a road you have already taken. Do not travel alone on the Path. (Rumi)
The longer I am around AA, the more this makes sense to me. The master to which he refers I envision as someone embodying the principles represented by the Chinese symbols for the phrase/word "holy" - a picture of a ruler (king), an ear, and a mouth, meaning a holy person is a master of listening and speech (not master in the sense of being in control). I look for help with certain trials to "masters" within AA, and for other trials to masters without. They can help only if I am completely honest with them. That is what is currently working for me. I'll see about tomorrow after I make it through today.
"He said I was heading in the wrong direction but, he was not correct."
Of course he said that, you were crawling out from under his thumb.
In my first two years I moved around so much I wasn't in any one place long enough to get a 'sponsor' though I had many mentors. Between my third and sixth month I was in an area with no other AAs around, and a gent suggested that if I used (not read, or studied, or memorized, but used) the Big Book and a Higher Power I'd be all right. He told the truth, I used the Big Book and a Higher Power and was able to stay sober for those months, and for another ten months later on as an Internationalist with few meetings or live AA contact. By the time I settled in one place, sober two years, I didn't feel the need for someone to show me how he got sober.
Last week I celebrated 42 years unbroken AA membership and like the late Chuck C. I've never had a sponsor.
My name is brian w. I have spent thelast 24hrs hiding. the last 19 yrs in and out of the program and treatment centers. I DON'T WANT TO DRINK ANYMORE ,WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND WITH ALL OF MY EXISTANCE. What is it some screwed up destiny, I even pray now before buying or stealing it or bumming money in front of a store? How do I telll another sponsor, how do I not drink. I know what it says on p.24 and in the dr.s opinion. But how long do I have to wait top get into the steps? Why? is it because I'm wasting their time or mine? Am I not showing I want it enough, how's that? In march of 95 when i first attended a meeting og A.A. they said keep coming back and so I have. For the last 19 yrs I've done just that, I know it works I've. seen it on the faces of hundreds of others along the west coast and down in the south where I live and lived. When you pray and god says go ahead and drink it sucks, I believe in god and a divine purpose but mine just has me plain impatient with faith and hurt emotionally after all a head fullof AA and abelly full of booze has done nothingbut break my heart for a long time please pray for me friends as I begin my journey again. maybe this wil last longer than4,6,4,9,6,8,11?9? Months at a time please I beg of you pray for me that I may use this experience to stay and help others ........your forever coming back friend B. Wilson
" Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path" Chapter 5 Big Book. My sponsor's sponsor always said , when I was bellyaching about whatever and saying that I was working my program " Never mind what you are doing. What are you not doing?" That may be a good question for you to ask yourself. maybe it's time to ask a man with good sobriety to walk through the Steps with you one on one.
The last part of Step 2 in the 12 Steps and 12 tradition book talks about the alcoholic who tries hard and fails. Does any of that apply to you? Are you feeling sorry for yourself?
Put the past behind you and follow this simple program. If you want sobriety it is yours for the asking. I have stayed sober and am reasonably content for 26 years now just by taking the suggestions. i will pray for you. let us know when you get sober.
Am no expert at 20 1/2 mths sober, but just want to say, my friend,..."I hear you & will pray for you? Maybe you have to think simply "1 minute" at a time.....not hourly or daily.......change is TOUGH, but misery is worse for me. Good Luck!
What are doing when you are in front of the liquor store bumming for money, buying alcohol, or stealing it? What I'm asking is what are you thinking when you are there? Why don't you call your sponsor if you have one, go to a meeting, or why not get your sponsor to help you work the steps. Its a simple program for complicated minds.
As far as your higher power goes, you haven't found one yet of your understanding. Mine has saved my life, of course I had to do the work; but God answered my problems. God may have not given me what I wanted but what I needed. Only a friendly message.
My second step cleared up some of the problems you are having. My Higher Power gives me (and everyone) free will. Absolute free will. If we choose to drink ourselves to death that's our choice. If we choose to get sober that is too. He is different from Santa Claus. He does not hand out gifts of sobriety from a sack in his sleigh. He doesn't care how many people gang up and ask for Brian's sobriety, or mine. He has helped me get and stay sober. I have to be in a condition to receive that help. I have to learn who I am. What shortcomings I have. What useless tools I have been using to try to get through life. I practiced long and hard to get my life in the mess it was in. Step three is MADE A DECISION.. Read it. Immediately following are instructions of how to do exactly that. I don't recall seeing anything about having a sponsor carry us through them. It has worked for millions of us. You have been given everything you need. It doesn't look like waiting for what you want has been helpful.
I'm glad you are back! my sobriety date is aug 13, 1992. prior to 1992 I spent a few years going to meetings between inpatient treatment centers. After my last drink on 8/13/92, I finally admited I was powerless over alcohol. I became willing to work the 12 steps as a daily program of recovery. I use and still use the big book and 12x12 as a guidline to working the steps.
I have witnessed many, many alcoholics in your situation over the years. Alcoholics who where able to simply put the plug in the jug and stop drinking, share what worked for them. They are not as alcoholic as you and I. I could never stay sober by meetings and prayer. the 12 steps showed me a was to continued sobriety that has worked for many chronic alcoholics. faith without works is dead, and how true for the alcoholic who fails to enlarge his spiritual life.
Anyway, sounds like you have tried everything but working the steps. If you had you would know that working with another alcoholic always gets us out of ourselves and relieves our mental obsesson with alcohol. If you haven't worked the steps, it's hard to have a concrete solution to share with others.
Good luck to you and may God give you the courage to work the steps of AA.
I am in the same place as Brian. I have tried so many times to stay sober and failed over and over again. At one point, I had a good sponsor and was "working" the steps, or so I thought. Yet, I drank again. Your comment made me realize I have never fully worked the steps, not really. Now that I am trying to get back into AA I find it frustrating when people say "Don't drink and go to meetings." I don't know how to not drink, even and especially in between meetings! People tell me to pray for God to keep me sober. I do that and I still end up drinking. People say call another alcoholic. I do that, and I still find myself drinking. People say "call your sponsor." Yet, I am so ashamed of my inability to stop drinking that I am ashamed to call my sponsor. And, truth be told, I am afraid to go back to my home group yet again and begin my "day count" all over again. How insidious this disease is!
Your suggestion about God not being like Santa Claus is very helpful advice. Intellectually, I know this-I have several advanced degrees in theology, none of which have kept me sober. Yet, my "professional" God is not my personal God and I realize that I have been approaching God like Santa Claus, hoping to get "struck sober" someday. Your response to Brian has given me a lot to think about and has given me some hope that if I try and work the steps to the best of my ability, then perhaps I can stay sober this time.
What exactly is it about "don't pick up the first drink" that you cannot grasp? Much of your rant seems to be an effort to rationalize your continued drinking. If whatever god you are praying to answers (apart from concerns I would have over your hearing voices) and tells you to drink, then maybe you should stop praying and just start doing what is suggested: don't drink and keep coming back. You may not have heard that part of the equation. It was suggested to me that I get involved with service work, which initially meant making coffee, taking out garbage, helping clean up around the meeting hall. Between meetings and service work, I got a little break from the chorus of voices in my head, voices that likely were a function of my body screaming for the substance I was physically and psychologically dependent on - alcohol. It takes discipline to break old habits and develop new ones, and it took me two or three meetings per day plus service work to break my cycle of drinking, while the steps then allowed me to figure out how to stay sober and enjoy life without booze.
"What exactly is it about "don't pick up the first drink" that you cannot grasp?"
For a long time before AA found me I tried the 'don't pick up the first drink' bit. If I had been able to not pick up the first drink I wouldn't need AA, I could quit and stay stopped.
That being said, though the Big Book stresses prayer as being necessary for recovery, it's main theme is recovery through the Twelve Steps. Yes, some do stay away for booze without the steps, but they seem to be the ones who can 'just don't drink and go to meetings. Brian sounds like the type who needs the steps more than the just don't drink advice.
I pray to God to help me better understand his will for me and the power to carry that out. POWER is key. It means I have to be fearless. To walk through the darkness with full faith that God has my back. He/she/it has yours to Brian. Ask your sponsor/get a sponsor, go to meetings, you know the drill. Sending lots of hugs your way.
My sponsor meant the world to me. My first hero in AA. I worked the steps with him. He knew my dark secrets. However, cancer got the best of him. He was given a few months to live. One day, I went to see him at his house and his wife said he started drinking. I was shocked. I ran straight out of the house and never saw him again. I was disappointed at first because he meant so much to so many people over the last 25 years. I thought he was being selfish. Now I feel horrible, because I abandoned a true friend. I failed AA because I was not responsible. His calls went straight to my voicemail. What a lousy example of friendship I was to him. I read once that the nurse on duty documented in the night log that the founder of AA asked for a drink in the end. I thought who cares at that point. My sponsor has returned to his God and he will have permanent sobriety in heaven. I guess in that condition its okay to drink because sobriety is for the living not the dead. Has anyone dealt with this before? I feel so guilty. I haven't apologized to his wife yet. I just can't face her now. Thanks
Yea, what the heck. What value is ones sobriety at that point? I hope a decision like that never arrives at my door. I'm sure your sponsors good deeds tremendously outweighed his final days of drinking. It's not like he returned to his drunken past. He returned to God with a smile on his face. Perhaps its a good lesson to not idolize people in the program because misfortune touches the good as well.
I am new to the life of sobriety but the things I've read, heard and experienced life of sobriety is a challenge sick or in good health.
I have not experienced something like that but if it were me I would find the time and speak with her I'm sure his wife would like to hear from you and would understand .
I fired my first sponsor because of his drinking. He died of alcoholism a few years later. The good he gave me far outweighed the bad he did to me, although I felt very angry (like you) at the time.. His death burned into me the fact of alcoholism's being cunning, baffling and powerful. Most people with alcoholism die from it. The fact that he or others attend AA doesn't change that unless they pick up the tools and use them.
My second sponsor and two other sober peers died from cancer at about 30 years sober. I guess they showed that it can be done.
I suppose people stay sober (or don't) for a number of reasons.
Some to stop the consequences of drinking.
Others because they can accept that drinking absolutely stopped working for them(if it ever did)and there was no reason to do something that didn't work.
A third type stop because it looks bad not to.
I guess we all share some of the three. The last is most precarious because it requires someone else's expectations to live up to.
What do the three have in common? Reasons won't keep me sober, I need a method to accomplish it. For me it is AA's twelve steps. If I continue to use them, I will continue to see that alcohol simply doesn't work for me and there is no reason to reach for it, living or dying.
If we step back from today's AA's obsession with marking time and collecting medallions, what really happened? He was very ill, drinking wasn't apt to cause the damage it does in normal circumstances. He reached out for something which used to work, maybe still did.
The Higher Power that I believe in doesn't require that all slates must be clean, all accounts in order when someone passes. People who died when I was a mess or in a temporary fit of anger don't spend and eternity locked in conflict with me. You had a reasonable expectation that wasn't met. You felt angry. You acted on it. It's over. You learned from it. Move on.
life's too short to worry, and at the same time life is too short to not have courage. I have made many mistakes in my life, especially with my father. I resented him for many years, until he almost died of a heart attack. then he had to have a triple bypass, and I only got to see him for twenty minutes. I walked in gave hima hug and told him I loved him. That was the most courage I had at that point. He did well after, and we get along fine now. So don't worry, I'm sure their not going to boot you. it's better to say something than nothing.
My mother, also is "terminal" right now, stage 4 cancer. However, she's not alcoholic, so she is not thinking about drinking or killing her self sooner.
I know today that: "it is normal for an alcoholic to drink"
Sobriety is not normal for us. I also believe that Bill W. was asking for a drink, the day he died (some people choose not to believe it).
Let's not forget that "no one among us have been able to maintain perfect adherence to these principals. We are not saints... & we claim spiritual progress, not perfection"
We place too much high value on "sobriety quantity."
We ought to place "SOBRIETY QUALITY" at higher value.
Don't be so hard on your sponsor. I'm sure he taught you to be grateful for what we do get.
The book says: "Grant him the love & tolerance you would grant a sick friend."
We still have the message. It has been the same for 75 years. What has been lost is the method in
which the message is passed on to others.
I haven't lost it. It's spelled out perfectly from page 89 through page 103 in a chapter entitled Working with Others.
I am serving in the military in Afghanistan on my 3rd deployment to a combat zone. I hear alot of guys talk about how they "can't wait to get home a have a drink" because of stressful this experience can be at times. My first two times deploying that was the case for me to, I claimed to my naysayers that drinking was "the only way I knew how to relax" after having been in combat. I have over a year of sobriety now and am so grateful to my Higher Power that I am not fanatisizing about that drink when I, God willing, go back home in one piece. I even tried to start a meeting over here, on my FOB of over 3000 people via mass e-mail. One DOD contractor showed up to my meeting and it was such a relief to know there was someone else like me out here so far from home. Just wanted to share.
May God bless you and keep you till you return home.
No one is Drunk Proof working the program
we Become Drunk Resistant God Bless
I am very confident in my level of Drunk Resistance and I DO NOT discount the fact that I will never be "DRUNK PROOF" but I know that right now, far from home, I am not fanatisizing about drinking when I get back from Afghanistan and I thank God for that and keep working to do the next right thing for my sobriety, my family, and my soldiers.
No one is Drunk Proof working the program
we Become Drunk Resistant God Bless
God bless and hang in there! I'd be honored to have a "virtual meeting" one of these days.
I love that you took the effort to start a meeting there! And that one person responded is a blessing for both of you.
I am so grateful for you and those like you, in and out of A.A. for their personal sacrifices of time and effort to help others achieve freedom whether the oppressor be human or alcohol. Thank you for being here (there) for me.
Thank you for your support! God bless!
I served in the 70's but, was not sober. There was a guy in my unit who talked about alcoholism and he had one year of sobriety. He was following some kind of beautiful light, which seemed to never shine on me. He was the first to plant the sober seed. From that point on every time I woke up with a hangover I wondered if I was an alcoholic. I don't know what happened to him but, I remember he used to say that all he had to do was to stay sober for one day. He said no matter what happened to him, if he stays sober, his life was meaningful. I know his sobriety was to me. After discharge, I tried what he suggested but failed often to stay sober for that one day he talked about. Eventually, his words clinked and I realized I wasn't functioning or adjusting in society and it was because I was a sick person. I turned myself over for help. Jails, the "flight decks" and the DWI's convinced me how sick I was. I went to a VA hospital and they treated me for PTSD and alcoholism. I've been sober since one day at a time. Why I'm sober today while others died I can't answer that except that sober guy in my unit had a hand in it. Your life is meaningful and I think you know it and that's the hope we bring to anyone suffering with this disease.
The ground my family lives on in the middle of the United States has been untouched by war for over one hundred and thirty years because of the commitment of America's warriors. Thank you.
I joined AA in '79 with veterans recovering from their tour in south east Asia. Some recovered, some didn't. Those who were able to deal with their alcoholism were able to put the horrors of war behind them and move on to successful education, careers, families -life. Others only got as far as a bar stool at a veterans club. This is America, they have a right to do that. I wasn't there, I don't judge them. The rewards were far better for those able to move on.
Small world. A DOD contractor at our group disappears for a few months at a time and come back with good tan. Great guy.
September 30th will be my first honest year sober. After struggling for seven hard years! Just want to say how happy and sober and clean life is with God in my life. AA has saved this drunks life and has givin hope back.

No need to go as a superhero or your favorite president for Halloween this year - opera is full of larger-than-life characters, from Azucena to the Commendatore, that will make you the talk of your costume party.
The revenge-obsessed gypsy
Costume: Think of it as peasant-chic. A colorful bohemian blouse and skirt with beaded necklace. Bed head is encouraged!
Must-have accessory: Convince some friends to join in the fun and sing the Anvil Chorus wherever you go. Or just carry around a knife to lend that authentic touch.
Optional: Make it a night to remember by orchestrating the demise of your adopted son, who is actually the brother of your sworn enemy.
The lustful king
Costume: An ermine robe is the only way to go, plus the latest in 16th century fashion: doublet, jerkin, and hose.
Must-have accessory: Crown and scepter.
Optional: Have a second date lined up for later in the night just in case you have to move on to plan B...for Boleyn.
The ultimate diva
Costume: A diva never leaves the house in anything less than her best gown. Hair and jewelry should be over-the-top. Think bling!
Must-have accessory: A handsome painter who calls you his muse.
Optional: A willingness to take a big leap in the name of love
The goddess of love
Costume: A seductive goddess gown will help lure men into your realm.
Must-have accessory: A giant bed always helps when you're encouraging people to give in to the pleasures of the flesh.
Optional: To truly mimic the pleasure of Venusburg, surround yourself with a coterie of attractive ballet dancers at your Halloween bacchanal.
The warrior-troubadour and devoted son
Costume: A puffy shirt, tight pants, and leather boots are your preferred look.
Must-have accessories: A lute to serenade your beloved and a sword to fight your enemies.
Optional: An ongoing feud with your arch-nemesis, who also happens to be your brother.
The independent lady
Costume: Think 1920s chic…pants, pin-curled hair, and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Donna Elvira would probably love hanging out with a young Amelia Earhart.
Must-have accessory: Motorcycle
Optional: If you can recreate the Picasso dress from Lyric's new production, go nuts!!!
The murdered father / escort to the underworld
Costume: Channel your inner statue - paint any suit or military outfit green and gray and be sure to cover your face and hair in a ghost-like sheen.
Must-have accessory: Bring your own pedestal, for better lurking in a cemetery.
Optional: We're not saying that you have to condemn someone to hell, but it's nice to know you have the power.

Have you tuned into Lyric U? Check out our new video library, which starts with an in-depth exploration of the baritone in opera with Sir Andrew Davis, Anthony Freud, and Renée Fleming. Plus, check out some video highlights of the greatest baritone arias on stage this season.
Have you tuned into Lyric U? It's Lyric's new resource for things opera, giving everyone an easy way to explore, discover, and engage. Whether you're new to the art form and looking for Opera 101 or an aficionado who wants to earn a PhD in Advanced Opera Studies, let Lyric U guide the way with this ever-expanding video library.
One of the new features on Lyric U is "From Soprano to Bass: Exploring Voice in Opera." Sir Andrew Davis, Renée Fleming, and Anthony Freud are your guides through the seven different categories of the human voice in this in-depth video series.
The first video in the series focuses on the baritone. This vocal range might be stuck in the middle of tenor and bass, but the baritone is definitely not a voice that can be easily overlooked. Some of the most famous roles in opera are portrayed by baritones-the ultimate bad boy in Mozart's Don Giovanni, the resourceful fixer Figaro in Rossini's The Barber of Seville, the king of the gods Wotan in Wagner's Ring cycle, and the great title roles in Verdi's Rigoletto, Falstaff, and Simon Boccanegra.
Want to hear more? Below are video samples of some of the great baritone showcases that you can hear as part of Lyric's 2014-15 season.
Il Trovatore - "Il balen del suo sorriso"
In Act 2 "The Gypsy" of Verdi's Il Trovatore, the villainous Count di Luna sings of his devotion to Leonora, who has decided to enter a convent because she believes her true love Manrico is dead. Though di Luna's song speaks to a beautiful love, he is actually plotting to kidnap her - thinking that the convent is the only obstacle to their happiness. Ryan Opera Center alum Quinn Kelsey takes on the role at Lyric from October 27 to November 29.
(Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Metropolitan Opera, 2011)
Porgy and Bess - "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'"
This quintessential American opera has many timeless songs, including "Summertime" and "Bess, You Is My Woman Now, but one of Porgy's most famous arias is this ode to his simple life. Lyric favorite Eric Owens brings this iconic role to Chicago from November 17 to December 20.
(Lawrence Winters, Columbia Masterworks recording, 1951)
Tosca - Te Deum
Scarpia, the police chief who is ruthlessly hunting the rebel artist Cavaradossi, sings of his lust and terrible plan to force Tosca into loving him, against the backdrop of a prayer. This season, two singers take on this villianous role: Evgeny Nikitin (Lyric debut, January 24 to February 5) and Mark Delavan (February 27 to March 14).
(George Gagnidze, Metropolitan Opera, 2009)
Tannhäuser - "O du mein holder Abendstern" (Song of the Evening Star)
This aria from Act 3 of Tannhäuser is in the pantheon of one of the most beautiful arias ever written, and is one of Wagner's most haunting melodies. Wolfram von Eschenbach loves the faithful and chaste Elisabeth, but she is in love with Tannhäuser; in this aria, he has a premonition of her death. Gerald Finley stars as Wolfram at Lyric from February 9 to March 6.
(Peter Mattei, Staatsoper Berlin, 2014)
Don Giovanni - "Deh vieni all finestra"
While posing as his right-hand man Leporello, Don Giovanni serenades the maid of his former conquest Donna Elvira with this lovely aria from Act Two. Mariusz Kwiecień stars in Lyric's hot-blooded new production through October 29.

There's something for everyone in Lyric's 2014/15 season, including some of opera's must recognizable music from Don Giovanni, Il Trovatore, Tosca, and more! Read on to see and hear some of this season's hit tunes.
There's something for everyone in Lyric's 2014/15 season, including some of opera's must recognizable tunes. You might know some of these selections outside of their operatic homes—come and see these famous songs as you only can see them at Lyric, with the grandest staging and finest musicians.
On stage September 27 to October 29
The Champagne Aria
Mariusz Kwiecień performs the Champagne Aria from Don Giovanni in this video from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden's 2014 production. The song is an ode to the fabulous party that the Don is planning, yet another occasion for him to add to his list of conquests. Kwiecień plays a Giovanni who has smoldering movie star charisma in Lyric's brand-new production from renowned stage director Robert Falls, which updates the setting to 1920s Spain.
"La ci darem la mano"
This love duet between the duplicitous Don and the naïve Zerlina is one of the most well-known in the operatic repertoire. The odd couple of Luciano Pavarotti and Sheryl Crow have teamed up to perform it in concert! Once again is Mariusz Kwiecień, Lyric's Giovanni, with Mojca Erdmann as Zerlina.
(Metropolitan Opera, 2011)
On stage October 27 to November 29
The Anvil Chorus
You've heard it in commercials and in films—now come see it on Lyric's stage! The Anvil Chorus from Verdi's Il Trovatore is one of the most famous tunes in opera. You're sure to be humming it for days after you see it in performance. Here is the incredible scene from director Sir David McVicar's epic production.
On stage November 17 to December 20
"Summertime" and more…
Gershwin's Porgy and Bess is filled with an incredible number of songs that have made their way into the popular songbook, including "Summertime," "Bess, You Is My Woman Now," "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin," "It Ain't Necessarily So." Here's a highlight reel of some of those amazing songs as performed at the San Francisco Opera in 2009 —and this is the very same production that will be right here at Lyric with Eric Owens as Porgy.
On stage January 24 to March 14
"Vissi d'arte"
Puccini's gut-wrenching story features a number of incredible musical moments, but none is quite so magical as "Vissi d'arte," Tosca's beautiful aria describing how she's lived for art and love, only to have fate turn against her. This season, you'll have two chances to hear this wonderful piece interpreted with Tatiana Serjan and Hui He both starring in the new-to-Lyric production.
The luminous Sondra Radvanovsky, who will take on the role of Anne Boleyn in Donizetti's Anna Bolena at Lyric later this year, brings this magnificent aria to life.
On stage February 9 to March 6
The Pilgrim's Chorus
The Pilgrim's Chorus in Act 3 of Tannhäuser is one of Wagner's most beautiful and majestic melodies. The simple melody starts quietly, as the singers are off stage, but grows until the full orchestra and chorus are at full volume. It has become a staple of concert choirs such as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and was even one of the Wagner melodies quoted in the Bugs Bunny cartoon "What's Opera, Doc?" We dare you not to be moved.

The Sochi Olympics have featured some gorgeous skating routines set to some of the most famous classical music ever written. Here are a few skating routines, some recent and some gems from the past, that showcase how well the drama and passion of opera translates to the ice.
Michelle Kwan brought the crowd to its feet with a dramatic interpretation of Puccini's Tosca at the 2004 U.S. National Championships.
Meryl Davis and Charlie White, the reigning couple of ice dancing, waltzed to selections from Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus in 2011.
Katarina Witt was the winner of the "Battle of the Carmens," when both she and American Debi Thomas skated to music from Bizet's Carmen at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary.
Canadian Patrick Chan, the silver medalist in Sochi, used music from Puccini's La Bohème for his long program last season.
Ekaterina Goordeeva and Sergei Gringkov, one of pairs skating's greatest couples on and off the ice, brought the overture from Rossini's The Barber of Seville to life in this program from 1989.
Kristi Yamaguchi channeled Cio-Cio San with this routine set to music from Puccini's Madama Butterfly from 1994.

Exclusive: As the clock ticks down to the U.S. elections in November, another clock is ticking in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, whether Israeli forces should exploit the American political timetable to pressure President Obama to support an attack on Iran's nuclear sites, writes ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Foreign Policy
Can Iran Help on Syrian Crisis?
Official Washington, including the U.S. press corps, depicts the Syrian crisis as a civil war between black hats and white hats with no room for talks with dictator Bashar al-Assad and certainly no role for Iranian negotiators, but Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett at RaceForIran.com see that position as shortsighted.
Neocons Push for Deeper Syrian Role
The neoconservatives who run the Washington Post continue to beat the drum for more U.S. war in the Middle East, now giving voice to influential neocon pundits demanding that the Obama administration begin lethal aid to Syrian rebels, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
The Darkness of August 9
During World War II, Aug. 9 came to represent varying barbarities inflicted on innocent civilians, from the gassing of a Jewish Carmelite nun to the beheading of a German Christian war protester to the incineration of a Japanese city with a historic Christian church as Ground Zero, Gary G. Kohls writes.
Oil Supplies Remain US Focus
Despite rhetorical suggestions about a shift in U.S. geopolitical strategy, the pre-placement of military stockpiles indicates that America's security interests will remain focused on protecting oil supplies, writes the Independent Institute's Ivan Eland.
More US Soldiers Die in Vain
From the Archive: One year ago, 30 U.S. soldiers – many from SEAL Team 6 – died when a helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan, deaths that ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern said, tragically, were in vain. Though the war has faded from view, the killing goes on, 46 U.S. dead in July, eight more last week.
Iran as Political Football
As Iran becomes a political football in Campaign 2012 – with President Obama and Mitt Romney competing to kick it the hardest and farthest – there is talk about Iran's failure to meet its "international obligations" but little thought about what that means, notes Danny Schechter.
The Twin Existential Threats
The twin existential threats of nuclear weapons and global warming may work together to end life on Earth because climate dislocations will make desperate national confrontations more likely. But the world's politicians are doing little about either, writes Robert Dodge.
Punishing Iran, Endlessly
With U.S. politics locked in a competitive "tough-guy-ism" – as Republicans and Democrats up the ante on punishing Iran to avoid being deemed "weak" or insufficiently "pro-Israel" – no one seems to notice that the tactics are fast becoming an end in themselves, observes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Losing a Voice of Wit and Intellect
The death of Gore Vidal on Tuesday at the age of 86 marked an end of an era, a time when men and women of wit and intellect fenced in public debate, now replaced by the loud voices of prideful and mean-spirited know-nothings, as Michael Winship explains.

I think it's a good idea to make custom avatars in pvp.net with the possibility of buying all sorts of parts in store
The Masked One
I'm up for that. The 20 thumbnails that you can choose are all a bit stale. Having our own customizable player pages in the LoL website with stats and some social networking stuff would be cool too.
However, I'd prefer that they got around to releasing Magma Chamber before releasing something like this.

Short for SMS Phishing, smishing is a variant of phishing email scams that instead utilizes Short Message Service (SMS) systems to send bogus text messages. Also written as SMiShing, SMS phishing made recent headlines when a vulnerability in the iPhone's SMS text messaging system was discovered that made smishing on the mobile device possible.
Smishing scams frequently seek to direct the text message recipient to visit a website or call a phone number, at which point the person being scammed is enticed to provide sensitive information such as credit card details or passwords. Smishing websites are also known to attempt to infect the person's computer with malware.

Monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) isoforms 1–4 catalyze the proton-linked transport of monocarboxylates such as L-lactate across the plasma membrane, whereas MCT8 and MCT10 are thyroid hormone and aromatic amino acid transporters, respectively. The importance of MCTs is becoming increasingly evident as their extensive physiological and pathological roles are revealed. MCTs 1–4 play essential metabolic roles in most tissues with their distinct properties, expression profile, and subcellular localization matching the particular metabolic needs of a tissue. Important metabolic roles include energy metabolism in the brain, skeletal muscle, heart, tumor cells, and T-lymphocyte activation, gluconeogenesis in the liver and kidney, spermatogenesis, bowel metabolism of short-chain fatty acids, and drug transport. MCT8 is essential for thyroid hormone transport across the blood–brain barrier. Genetic perturbation of MCT function may be involved in disease states such as pancreatic β-cell malfunction (inappropriate MCT1 expression), chronic fatigue syndromes (impairment of muscle MCT function), and psychomotor retardation (MCT8 mutation). MCT expression can be regulated at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Of particular importance is the upregulation of muscle MCT1 expression in response to training and MCT4 expression in response to hypoxia. The latter is mediated by hypoxia inducible factor 1α and often observed in tumor cells that rely almost entirely on glycolysis for their energy provision. The recent discovery of potent and specific MCT1 inhibitors that prevent proliferation of T-lymphocytes confirms that MCTs may be promising pharmacological targets including for cancer chemotherapy. © 2011 IUBMB IUBMB Life, 2011.

November 27, 2014
BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraqi officials say two separate bomb attacks in commercial areas of predominantly Sunni neighborhoods of Baghdad have killed at least four civilians.
A police officer says the first bomb exploded during rush hour Sunday morning in the Amiriyah neighborhood, killing two pedestrians and wounding nine others. He added that another roadside bomb went off in nearby Khadra neighborhood, killing two civilians and wounding eight.
A medical official confirmed the causality figures. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.
More than 3,000 people have been killed in violence over the past few months, raising fears that Iraq could see a new round of widespread sectarian bloodshed similar to that which brought the country to the edge of civil war in 2006 and 2007.

The lineup for the 2013 Intiman Theatre Festival
The second Intiman Theatre Festival offers a Dario Fo comedy, a racial satire, a piece from ancient Greece and a musical about the nation's first transgendered mayor.
Seattle Times theater critic
Ancient Greece, 1950s Broadway, modern-day Italy and rural Oregon: that's where the action is, in the 2013 Intiman Theatre Festival's diverse slate of four plays, performed in rolling repertory. The fest, now in previews, runs through Sept. 15. Information and tickets: 888-377-4510 or www.intiman.org.
"We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay!": In this world-embraced romp by Dario Fo, the late Italian master of leftist farce, strapped housewives resort to pilfering food as grocery prices skyrocket — and then employ wild, slapstick subterfuges to hide their crime from spouses and cops. With Lucy-and-Ethel antics, Fo asks what is the greater crime: shoplifting or pricing people into starvation? Former Harvard University drama prof and clowning expert Jane Nichols directs Intiman's version, timed to reflect the recent recession and mounting U.S. food prices. Opens July 13.
"Trouble in Mind": This prescient, unsparing backstage satire by important African-American playwright Alice Childress reflects the author's own experiences as a performer contending with limited roles, liberal white guilt and racism (subtle and blatant) in the 1950s. It confronts the ironies and compromises facing a black actress who has won her first lead in a Broadway play — an anti-lynching drama. Valerie Curtis-Newton directs a cast led by Tracy Michelle Hughes. Opens July 17.
"Stu for Silverton": This musical is the sole new work in the festival, and drawing considerable attention for its unique premise. It relates the real-life story of the election of Stu Rasmussen as the first openly transgender mayor in the U.S., in the small Oregon town of Silverton, and portrays how the citizenry battled homophobia in his defense. Andrew Russell directs; scripted by Peter Duchan, with a score by singer-songwriter Breedlove. Opens July 20.
"Lysistrata": Aristophanes wrote this pacifist battle-of-the-sexes comedy two millennia ago. But with wars still igniting and raging, and human enlightenment stalled, the piece can still feel timely. Director Sheila Daniels updates to modern times the tale about women waging a sex strike to keep their husbands out of battle. Opens July 24.
