Cocos2D-XNA Getting Started Part 1
Jul 05
Today we are going to take a look at creating our first Cocos2D-XNA program. This will focus on Windows and Visual Studio and then cover the other systems in separate parts.
We are trying really hard to make this as easy as possible for developers to get up and running quickly so you guys can focus on building your games. One of the ways is with templates that are available to be installed within Visual Studio for the systems that we support.
What you will learn:
- Finding and Installing the Cocos2D-XNA Templates
- Creating a new Cocos2D-XNA Empty Game Solution
Finding and Installing the Cocos2D-XNA Templates
To get a list of the Cocos2D-XNA templates available we will be using the Extensions and Updates dialog box:
- In Visual Studio click on Tools and select Extensions and Updates and you will be presented with the dialog box, or type Extensions in the Quick Launch window. This shows all the extensions that you have installed or are available to install.
- Select the option for Online (depending on the version of Visual Studio this might read Online Gallery) and in the Search Visual Studio Gallery window (text box in the upper right corner of the dialog) type in cocos2d-xna. You should see the following templates displayed (this could vary depending on the number of templates we provide).
- Select the Cocos2D-XNA Empty Game Windows GL template. As you can see in the image above I already have three templates installed that are marked with a green check mark. If there is not a green check mark then when you select the template entry you will get a download button. Click the Download button and install the template. In the following image I have uninstalled the template to demonstrate the download button and the installed versus the non installed templates. Clicking the download obviously starts to download the template selected as you can see from the Downloading status window.
- The following screen will be presented after a slight pause. Click the Install button.
- Once installed you should have a green checkmark beside the template option you can verify if it is installed by selecting Installed –> Templates in the left pane.
You should now have the template installed so we can continue on to the next section. Just to make sure you know –> A restart of Visual Studio is required in order to load the Template.
Creating a new Cocos2D-XNA Empty Game Solution
- On the File menu, select New and then click Project.
- In the left pane, select Installed –> Templates –> Visual C# –> Cocos2D-XNA –> Windows and select the template we just installed. If you have other Cocos2D-XNA templates installed that target different platforms you will also find those platforms under the Cocos2D-XNA heading as well.
- Follow the path you would normally to create a solution. Here we will just use the defaults.
- Click Start to see the results. If everything is ok then you should see the following program.
We have shown how to install the templates for Cocos2D-XNA and now you can experiment with any of the templates that are out there.
You will also notice that there are templates for multiple platforms out there for Visual Studio. A requirement to use the iOS or Android templates is that Xamarin MonoTouch or MonoAdroid is needed. Please visit their site if you would like to target writing Cocos2D-XNA for those operating systems from Visual Studio and Windows.
Have fun playing around with the templates for the different systems.
In Part 2 we will take a look at the code.

Former CEO Ephren Taylor Is Being Labeled The 'Bernie Madoff' With Black Tones
Original post from Dec. 25, 2011:
This is an interesting analogy of the scandalized former CEO and self proclaimed entrepreneur, Ephren Taylor. Things are piling up upon the case against Taylor and he's looking more and more like the downgraded Bernie Madoff.
Read report below:
The case against Ephren Taylor is mounting, and it's starting to sound increasingly similar to that of notorious Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff, as hundreds of alleged victims come forward to join a class action against the "youngest African American CEO of a public company."

(Austrian language film with English subtitles)
Ayse, a beautiful 19-year-old girl from the Turkish countryside, is chosen to be married to Hasan, the son of formidable and house-proud mother Fatma, who resides in Vienna with her husband and children.
However, what soon becomes apparent is that Ayse is to be second wife to Fatma's husband. This tight-knit family go to great lengths to preserve traditional values, and although polygamy is illegal in Austria, Ayse is welcomed. Yet her presence in a country whose language and culture is entirely foreign to her immediately marks her as an outsider.
As Western societal norms and Muslim religious beliefs draw closer together in an ever diversifying family unit, tensions arise, resulting in an explosive stroke of fate.
Umut Dag's mature feature debut is a rich tapestry of swirling emotions, suppressed desires, unspoken words and uncomfortable yet pressing social and political questions.

Bounty Hunters...
Are They Legitimate Law Enforcement Agents?
Bounty hunters are paid to locate people who cannot be found. When the term bounty is used, it usually refers to payment made to individuals who have recently completed an act considered a public benefit. However, the term bounty is placed in proper context when a group of contracted people individually receive payment after he or she fulfills the terms of the contract they agreed to. On the other hand, people are usually rewarded after a job has been completed, for example a convicted criminal is located, even if several people are contracted to perform the task. Thus, the individual who completes the job is the only one paid.
In most cases, bounty hunters are hired to located people who have fled after posting bail or do not show up to scheduled court dates. In the United States, a lot of people flee after posting bail. During 1994, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, one fourth of defendants not confined to jail awaiting trial fled before their scheduled trials. During the last 10 years, bounty hunters working in the United States located and detained nearly 25,000 convicted criminals. Bounty hunters locate almost all defends fleeing before their trials.
Court jurisdictions have permitted bounty hunters broad authority to locate and detain individuals fleeing to evade the legal process. This broad authority includes: the authority to detain fugitives after they are located, travel across state lines to hunt for fugitives, and the right to enter a convicted criminal�s home to detain him or her. Bounty hunters are usually vicariously granted authority already granted to bail bond specialists.
People have contracted bounty hunters as far back as the middle ages. In fact, the concept of bail existed prior to the development of English law. An 1872 court case, Taylor v. Taintor, 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 366, 21 L.Ed. 287 (1872) is the basis of bounty hunters� legal protections in America. The Supreme Court wrote, "Where one charged with crime is released upon bail, he is regarded as being delivered to custody of his sureties. Their dominion is a continuance of the original imprisonment." This ruling has never been overturned.
Since state authorities can do little to regulate bounty hunters, the activities of bounty hunters has recently become a source of controversy. Certain state legislators have responded by passing laws placing restrictions on what bounty hunters can do. During 1998, the Arizona State Legislator passed legislation preventing bounty hunters from entering a person�s home without his or her permission, imitating police officers, and placing restrictions on people who can work as bounty hunters if they have been found guilty of breaking certain laws.

you gave the hard drive your very own GATT Syndrome.. "Always getting confuzzled"
OK got a PC, with 2 HDDs (Pri Master & Sec Master) in it and a DVD (Sec Slave)
I boot up from Win 7 install DVD, delete all previous partitons on both HDDs, and create 1 new one on Disk 0, which auto creates the System Partition too
Install Windows 7 fine and power it down as I decided during install that the 2nd HDD would be best served elsewhere..
Remove the Disk and power up again - nothing
Check Iremoved correct disk (yep!), jumpers, etc - all fine
Run Startup Repair from DVD - seems to be fine
Reboot - nothing
Chuck 2nd HDD in an external caddy and plug it in to find
the Resevered System Partition !!!
During install it appeared to install on Disk 0, but actually installed on Disk 1 !!
Had to re-install Win7 as no way to recover from this!

Another TALE OF TWO HEADLINES!
OK, Sherlock, what do you make of this?
" U.S. business climate worst in 27 years"
Whoa–bad news, what? Reuters explains: "Slack demand and lack of credit are forcing firms to cut capital spending and axe jobs, according to the survey. About 39 percent of firms said they planned to reduce payrolls over the next six months, while 17 percent expected to hire people."
OK, let's say you are the President of the United States and you wake up to headlines like that. What do you do? Do you set about trying to create an environment that is business friendly, that promotes growth by reducing red-tape and onerous regulations that make it more difficult for U.S. businesses to compete at home and abroad? Not If you're Barack "I won" Obama. No siree. If you rule with his divine mandate you end your first week in office by making things more difficult for U.S. businesses, especially the suffering automobile industry:
" Obama acts to reverse Bush climate moves"
Yes, that's right, "U.S. President Barack Obama will start reversing former President George W. Bush's climate change policies on Monday with steps to raise fuel efficiency standards and grant states authority to limit greenhouse gas emissions from cars." It's part of Obama's promise "to take aggressive action to fight global warming and reduce emissions blamed for heating the earth."

Wow – You would think that Obama not Bush and the neocons were in charge of the economy for the past eight years. Whose policies leadus into this diaster?

Obviously, we are in for a tough couple of years but in the end "It is the economy, stupid."
It remains to be seen whether Obama will fail completely as a hardcore socialist Liberal or do a Bill Clinton and morph into more center and reasonable positions. We must bet on his narcissistic nature with all hope upon him not being resolute in his convictions. We must depend on Obama's personal nature being the polar opposite of George W. Bush.

"Everyone outside of Al Gore's extended family now knows that man-made global warming is an urban legend cooked up by painty-waist eco-nuts…"
This is my favorite quote EVER.
Well, whether man-made global arming is true, or whether the Earth is warming becuase of some other method, it really doesn't matter to me. I just think it is sad that we have to legislate behavior that the auto industry should have been doing decades ago.January 26, 2009 - 12:30 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Business managers and investors must always worry about the decisions of politicians. This is inevitable to a certain point. However, the Obama era is now taking it to a dangerous level. One is forced to pay particular attention to the political class because increasingly they too often determine the economic winners and losers—and not the free market. This means that it may be best to embrace a "wait and see" attitude and essentially do nothing in the immediate future. Nobody is going to do much of anything if they believe the rules of the game can arbitrarily change at any moment.January 26, 2009 - 12:34 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Make no mistake, this policy will create boutique gasoline formulas for the refineries to produce, and this will exert upward pressure on gasoline prices. Of course, this is what these enviros want.

Roger, The wronest thing I have seen you write. I was going to say "the wrongest thing you have written", but how would I know.
Here is why:
Fuel effiency make the economy stronger. How do I know? Because if it didn't we could make our ecomomy stronger by buying gas and just burning it. (Also fuel would be free.)
Increasing fuel efficiency improves national security. I would have guessed that you would agree with action that improves national security, but there seems to be a "unless President Obama does it" caveat in your support of America.
Lastly, increasing fuel efficency reduces CO2 emmissions which, the science tells us (at least the peer reveiwed learned journal varuiety of science), is probably a very good idea and long overdue.
Again lastly. He said he would do it. He won the election. Now he's doing it.
So thats economics, national security, environment and political honesty, all pointing to the fact that in this instance President Barak Hussein Obama has done the right thing.January 26, 2009 - 1:08 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

While "green" energy like wind and solar are a great idea, the wind doesn't always blow and the sun only shines, in my part of the country anyway, when I don't need to turn on the lights. With president Zerro and his sidekick Biden saying there will be no new coal fired or nuclear plants on their watch, what good are part time power sources.
It's all a moat point anyway as long as regulations require vehicals to use so much less fuel and will be so expensive fewer of them will be on the roads (new public works roads) using fuel. Job losses are shuting down factories and stores, saving energy. Foreclosures are leaving houses not needing energy, their former inhabitants moving back in with mom and dad saving even more. So, Mr. O, just add a few more rolls of red tape to businesses and we won't have to spend all that money on power sources that cost double our good old pentiful coal and Alaskan oil.January 26, 2009 - 1:37 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Increasing fuel efficiency improves national security…
Yeah right. This is one of those silly canards that gets repeated so often it's becoming a "truth" even though it's demonstrably false. There are several reasons for this.
If we *could* increase fuel efficiency by a factor of say 5 or 10, it might have *some* effect on our fuel consumption. In actual point of fact, if Obama does increase these standards, it will probably only be an increase of a few miles per gallon per car. That wouldn't result in a decrease in fuel consumption, because when driving gets slightly cheaper, more people drive more cars further, and make up the difference. This is a cosmetic change that the environmental lobby has been demanding for years because it means the government is "doing something" even if what they're doing is meaningless and ineffective.
The next part of the statement is particularly silly. The idea that if we could reduce or eliminate our dependence on foreign oil, that would solve our problems with the Middle East, has been going around for decades, and it's as silly now as when it was first articulated. In addition to the obvious contradictions in the argument (Afghanistan has no oil, and we have as much problem with radical elements there as anywhere else), there's the specter of energy independence. Imagine a meeting between American leaders and the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia, where we announce our freedom from their oil.
U.S.: "We've discovered new technology that gives us energy independence. We no longer need your oil. Since you've invested none of the money we've spent in your country on infrastructure to manufacture anything in the absence of the oil, your country will dissolve into chaos in a few short years, and you folks personally will probably be living in exile on the Riviera soon. The economy of your nation will fall back into the dark ages, and probably never recover."
Royal Family: "Oh good. We've been burdened by this oil for decades, and don't really like being an advanced nation anyway. I hear the Riviera is nice this time of year."

The left, led by Obama, will do what leftists always do, wreck everything they touch and then have the audacity to blame someone else for it. Voters won't be fooled. What is happening here is that a new generation of Americans are learning some of the same lessons that another generation of Americans learned under Carter.

Mr. Hurley,
Under which administrations did the following regs/rules pass?:
2. Revocation of the Glass-Steagal Act (removed the "wall" between traditional banking/lending and investment banking/securitization)
3. Original Founding of Fannie Mae
The above three are at the epicenter of the stitshorm we are in currently. Keep in mind I am not absolving any Elephants – they have certainly aided and abetted this Mother of ALL Ponzi schemes. But you seem to think it was all milk and honey pre-2000. Oftentimes, just like your deviant worldview, it takes years of percolating before it comes to the surface and negatively affects everything.January 26, 2009 - 2:03 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

"Fuel effiency make the economy stronger. How do I know? Because if it didn't we could make our ecomomy stronger by buying gas and just burning it. (Also fuel would be free.)"
You haven't really established how buying a certain amount of gas affects the economy. And how is fuel "free"?
Sure, Obama's reversed Bush's environmental stance, but most of his answers to the economic crisis is right out of George Bush's playbook (and for that matter, John Mccain, who was a fan of cap and trade), which is to spend our way. George Bush proposed the bailout, and Obama went happily along with it.
In their big government agendas, the repulicans and democrats are hardly distinguishable. The democrats voted for the very deregulation they blame everything on, saw nothing wrong with the housing market, and played buddies with their republicans in spending out of their heads.January 26, 2009 - 2:09 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

To be honest, I'd love to have a real, honest-to-gosh fuel solution other than oil. Some people are leaning towards natural gas.
I'm sick in my heart that we've made these Saudi a**holes rich beyond belief and don't preach at me that these mofos aren't biting the hand. Oil money is behind a lot of the muslim terrorist mess. Funding the whack-jobs that want nothing more than to see our downfall gives me a bad feeling, a REALLY bad feeling.
If our dollar fails, the world will follow. We ain't the supa-powwa for no reason. Bring down the big guy and the little guys tumble too.
We need to strengthen the green-back, not weaken it. We need to lift up our small businesses not defeat them by over-taxation.
I'm talking to myself again.

David, Actually, I had in mind that relying on imported energy is inherently insecure whether that energy comes from the Middle east or anywhere else in the world.
Interesting point about increasing fuel efficiency making miles cheaper to buy and that leading to us buying more of them. Does, this mean that if we wanted to reduce the amount of fuel burnt to, say, reduce CO2 emissions or reduce dependence on imports then the only way of doing this is to make fuel more expensive; to tax it more? This kind of policy has been explicitly followed in some countries and probably 'works'. But thats a strictly boom-time policy, if ever, in America.
I don't think that the whole increase in efficiency would be eaten though. I am pretty sure that the cost of fuel is not the only reason why people don't like long commutes.January 26, 2009 - 2:33 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

North America has been under glaciers 20 times in the last epoch and nobody got their carbon taxed when those ice ages warmed up. Global warming, like the Chicken Little story about the sky falling is the perfect political scam. That is:invent a problem and promise to solve it. Chicken Little made it back to his coop but his friends were all eaten.
Politicians blended with grant hungry scientists and new data can create the perfect storm. The rally cry for politicians is, "Give us your money and we will make your world better."
A single volcano can throw off more carbon than the entire accumulated history of mankind. Wait until they try to tax one of those babies.

The problem is that Bush and company came into office with an R behind their name but they followed the same Keynesian policies that the new batch with the D behind their names want to follow. Until recently they were somewhat restrained, but no more. So with 16 years of Keynesian stimulus we have destroyed the gains made by the previous 12 years of the Reagan revolution.

Very good 16 and 22 Robert Hurley never says anything substantive. 3% of the stimulus package will be spent this year and 16% next year.

The unthinking left just spouts on with conventional wisdom like this gem without any analytical effort at all. Correlation and causation are not the same thing. When you start to pick apart the carcass that is the bank crisis, you find bad loans pushed and supported by Democratic policies. Fannie and Freddie subsidized these loans and low and behold they are ran by Democrats and protected in Congress by Democrats.
Did Bush see the coming storm and push hard enough for reform? No. Had he done that he would have been demagogued and smeared by the same people who write the drivel above.

Bigger cars are safer. They have more space in with to absorb impact energy (crumple zones). In car to car collisions, the bigger car has more mass, reducing the acceleration felt by the occupants.
Detroit actually makes money on bigger cars, and loses money on small cars, because of lower prices (more overseas competition) and high labor costs. Of course congress forbids making safer cars by mandating an average fuel economy standard.January 27, 2009 - 5:47 am Link to this Comment | Reply

The economy was doing just fine until the Democrats were elected in 2006 to a majority in congress. Then when it became obvious that Obama had 600 million in campaign funds to spend and McCain had only 85 million, anyone who could got out of the stock market. Shumer passed remarks about Indibank, causing a run. Indibank has subsequently been bought at reduced prices by a George Soros front.

The trouble is that not everyone does know that. We conservatives blame the media but that's only a part of the problem: alternative and conservative media have existed for quite some time.
The bigger problem is that you can't teach people all throughout grade school, high school and college nothing but liberal pieties and then expect them to pay attention to conservative/alternative media. Their values are already set, and in practice to a degree.
We tend to think that dissatisfaction with President Obama and the Democrats will grow, and maybe it will, but I submit that doesn't necessarily translate into a conservative victory later. Bitterness doesn't open minds necessarily, it just breeds cynicism. Look at how politics in the UK "work:" Left and Right are an absolute mess, not able to rally any real support.

@ Jim Baker (comment #59): There's no need for revolution. All we need to do is make sure the right ideas get in the hands of those willing to learn.
Reason Magazine or someone similarly interested should be invited to set up a kind of About.com site for those interested in economics, covering the basics and then going into issues that one will see in the news frequently. And then we have to go around and promote the heck out of that site, which should have a generic cast but be open about its partisanship, and hope it'll appeal to a more general audience than merely the same sort of conservative.
Other things that conservatives could provide introductions to: American, World, or Biblical History (including an alternate history of the 1960′s); Medieval Philosophy (I'm sure quite a few at "First Things" would love to do this); guides to Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Again, these are all things that have more general appeal, make the Internet a smarter, better place to be, and give us credibility about other matters before we go opine.
Right now, our opinions are almost completely separate from our base of knowledge. Anyone could write the majority of op-eds at Pajamas only knowing the news. Conservatism has never been about the news, though.January 28, 2009 - 6:11 am Link to this Comment | Reply

That's a subtle and underappreciated point. The law of greenhouse absorption, known as "Arrhenius' law", says that heat uptake is logarithmic with concentration. One unavoidable consequence of that is that if there is a problem, making 10 or 20% cuts in emissions a la Kyoto won't make any appreciable difference.

CAFE standards are necessary because large cars that are safe are also heavy. People want cars the will survive a crash.
More than 30 years ago using off the shelf technology (then) myself and engineers at Texas Instruments designed a system that could eliminate almost all of the onroad automobile crashes. This could be implemented for less than the cost of auto insurance, save 40,000 plus lives a year in the US alone, prevent hundred thousands of injuries and save billions of dollars. It would allow the auto makes to cut the wieght of cars substantially reduceing fuel consumption proportionately.
There is a program that would create jobs to install a system (redesign cars), save lives, reduce (not that it matters)carbon production and so on.
Of course the Auto Insurance compnies would be reduce to about 2% of their size. Most auto body repair companies would go out of business. Police staffs could be reduced. Red light camera companies would be reduntant. Traffic court judges would be unemployed. Traffic jams would disappear. Comuting times would be reduced. The savings to the economy would be in the trillions.

Then something tragic will happen (like a high-profile program will move to another province or a high-profile person will be harmed in some way) and they'll knee-jerk. Then they'll hire nurses again. I'm guessing later in 2014. It'll be really horrible for a while.
- 2Apr 15, '13 by joanna73 GuideI've lived through this cycle before, as others have. Usually these cuts last one-two years. Then they get desperate again.
Since the budget was just recently announced, I would expect the market will be dry until next spring in AB, particularly in the cities. Rural areas are already operating on a skeleton staff, although there has been discussion about closing a few rural facilities.
Nursing in the Eastern Provinces has been terrible since 2007.
Jobs exist in rural areas and Norhern Canada. Places where people don't really want to go. If you are considering Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver or Toronto, jobs are scarce. Many applicants for few jobs including new and experienced nurses.
- 0Apr 24, '13 by NotReady4PrimeTime, RN Senior ModeratorI think the freeze may have to thaw... Our vacation planner was posted a few days ago and guess what? Out of more than 100 people only the top 5 were granted vacation. Yes, you read that correctly. Everyone else was denied at least part of every block they requested, usually right in the middle - which amounts to a denial - period. And from about halfway down the seniority list, nothing was granted. We've been told that HR told them to only look at blocks of time because schedule optimisation is coming and they were to ignore what shifts people were actually working because later on in the vacation year the rotations would change... So I've got shifts "denied" in May (yep, next month) that I'm not even working. I requested that my stretch off in May be put on the planner, even though I was already off, so that no shifts could be moved into that time since I'm going to be out of town. Other places there are people counted as being granted vacation on days they're not working, being included in the count of how many can be on vacation on any given day and blocking someone else from that day. It's all a bit ridiculous. When management was asked how we were to get any time off to spend with our families and friends or to attend special events or to just decompress we were told that we're to request ad hoc vacation after the 30th and the requests would be considered in the order they were received. That's just a joke... nobody has gotten ad hoc vacation approved on our unit for more than a year and we're running with multiple people on OT virtually every shift. If even half the people who have said it do it, we're going to hemorrhage positions to casuals. So we'll be hiring again... or is that still?
- 3Apr 24, '13 by joanna73 GuideJan that sounds totally insane and very unfair. AHS definitely needs to do something. Maybe the unions can assist somehow? If units are blatantly denying vacation and messing with scheduling file a grievance. Group grievance? I'm not sure.
In response to a previous post here re: job postings on the net, you realize that quite often, positions are posted but the employer has no intention of filling them? Postings are not an indicator of real jobs, and that's everywhere, not only AHS.Last edit by joanna73 on Apr 24, '13 : Reason: added information

Welcome To Valley Of The Moon
Come Visit or contact us email@example.com * 520-323-1331 *
Help keep us alive! Please Donate To Valley Of The Moon!
For Website Assistance please contact the webmaster
Tucsonans are justifiably proud of our unique Arizona Historic District. The "Moon", as we affectionately call it, has been delighting children for three generations. But in spite of its historical importance the Moon has never received any support from government or foundations. As a strictly volunteer non-profit it's an understatement to say that our resources have been "miniscule". In addition to saving the place from crumbling to dust, given that it's made of chicken wire, scrap metal, rocks and concrete, we also want to restore it to it's former glory as a tourist destination. We're very hopeful that we might get enough support to accomplish these goals.
If you'd like to be a part of enabling Tucson's 84-year-old "Phoenix" to rise again from the accumulating dust won't you show your pride in our unique Tucson landmark by giving as generously as you can to support the cause? All donations are tax-deductible. PayPal makes it painless to contribute if you have a credit card. If not, we hope "the check is in the mail"!
Recently, Valley of the Moon received a very generous In-kind donation from Darling Environmental & Surveying of a detailed three dimensional mapping of the entire park, including the underground caves. Very soon, the map will be finished and posted on the web so everyone in the world will be able to take a virtual tour of Valley of the Moon. This map will help us with all of our upcoming plans to restore and improve the park, allowing us to measure and assess future work from the computer desktop. THANKS DARLING, LTD.!!

Waterbury fleet may be housed at industrial park
|The MacDermid building is shown from Huntingdon Avenue in Waterbury. The building, which has been vacant for about a decade, could be the future home of the Waterbury Public Works Department. Christopher Massa/RA
WATERBURY -- The Board of Aldermen will consider Thursday whether to continue to rent space at a local industrial park to house its garbage, vehicle maintenance and traffic operations, three divisions of the city's widely dispersed public works department.
The current lease with 500 Connecticut LLC for use of 500 Captain Neville Drive will expire June 30.

Based on Washington Post columnist David Ignatius' 2007 novel about a CIA operative, Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), who uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan. When Ferris devises a plan to infiltrate his network, he must first win the backing of cunning CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) and the collegial, but perhaps suspect, head of Jordanian intelligence. Although ostensibly his allies, Ferris questions how far he can really trust these men without putting his entire operation - and his life - on the line.

5 Most Common E-mails From My Mom
My mom loves the internet because it's a magical place where she can find old YouTube videos of H.R. Pufnstuf from her childhood along with tutorials that describe the correct way to express your cat's anal glands (click if you dare).
She also uses the web to fill my inbox with matronly advice and updates from home. I've collected the five most common variations of e-mails from my mom, bless her heart.
Dear Mom: If you somehow find this post, I'm just joking. It's the internet. Yes, I called grandma. XOXO.
Dog Video Forwards
Dear Cole, here is a video of a dog howling so he sounds like he is saying 'I love you.' Speaking of dogs, Freddy is doing fine. He got a groundhog bone stuck in his throat so your Dad had to pull it out with pliers. It's always an ordeal with that dog.
Nagging Reminder
When was the last time you called your grandmother? You know it wouldn't kill you to chat with her once in a while. She spent the entire afternoon worrying about an Oak fungus that is spreading throughout the forests in Pennsylvania. Please write her a letter, at least.
Apocalyptic Hysteria
Did you hear about the earthquake in Chile? I'm convinced it's another Sign of the Times. Your father bought an emergency seed bank (the one from the Glenn Beck commercials) that should keep us going if things really go downhill. Stay out of Times Square and try not to use the subway too much. XOXO
Belated Computer Virus Warning
Cole, on the news tonight they talked about a new computer spyware going around called "The Valentine Proxy." Apparently it looks like you got a Valentine from a friend but it's really a Trojan worm. BE CAREFUL!!!
Breaking Vegetable Garden News Update
Terrible news. Our tomatoes got wiped out by a swarm of blister beatles. No canned spaghetti sauce this year. :-(. This life is nasty, brutish and short. Love you, mom.

Comparatively speaking, though, I was lucky: As Willenbring noted, rehab can actually have negative side effects. Hard-core addicts are lumped together with lesser ones, and its not uncommon for addicts to swap tips and techniques. Fletcher describes the case of Emily E., a prominent professional woman who was prescribed pain medication when she developed migraines. One legal drug led to another, and before she knew it, Emilys doctor was recommending that she go to rehab to wean herself from the pharmaceuticals theyd prescribed. When she emerged after 64 days, now unable to get the kind of pain medication necessary for her migraines, she took heroinprovided by a friend she met in rehab.
Reading about Emily, I remembered a 19-year-old girl named Lisa, who attended her first AA meeting at my home group. Accompanied by her mother, who was quick to inform us that she was not an alcoholic, Lisa recounted how shed gotten drunk a couple of days earlier and gone home with an older man. When she woke up in his bed, with no idea how shed gotten there, she ran out of his apartment barefoot, forgetting her purse. Over the next several meetings we learned that Lisa, who always came with her mother (the group was supposed to be solely for alcoholics, but none of us protested), drank only occasionally and socially. The bad night shed described was her first real drunk; yes, shed blacked out, but thats a warning sign, not a diagnosis. Her mother was convinced that her daughter was a drunk, however, and by the time the mother decided she no longer had to accompany Lisa, the girl was so tightly woven into the group that she knew she was an alcoholic.
What could be the harm? you might ask. So she learns to avoid self-destructive behaviors. The issue to Fletcher is how the label may come to define people. As one psychologist told her, After a lot of time in traditional rehab and twelve-step groups, they may not get exposure to other ways young people get a sense of identityfor instance, being a student. Also, few addicts manage to stay soberRelapse is part of recovery, the mantra goesso if Lisa has a few drinks, shes apt to think shes fallen off the wagon and needs more help, thereby setting up a cycle that perhaps never shouldve begun.
Glaser, a journalist whos long reported on womens health, thinks the AA model is troublesome for women especially, because it exacerbates often already established feelings of weakness and dependence. (The first step of AA is to admit one is powerless over alcohol.) Glasers other objections to rehab: Women are often (unjustly) condemned for abandoning their families. Plus, womens alcoholism is often hidden in the first placeshe attributes this to the cultures acceptance in certain situations of male drunkenness but never femaleso what they dont need is to retreat to a secret place or join a secret society.
Everyone acknowledges that rehab will be appropriate for some, but, again, there are no reliable criteria for whom. Sheff talks to a researcher who compared abstinence rates for inpatient and outpatient programs and found that residential treatment benefited only those who were suicidal or who had severe problems in at least four out of five areas, including social isolation, employment concerns, and psychological distress. Overall, the consensus seems to be that a patients situation must be dire to warrant rehab. In the end, there is simply no need to remove alcoholics from the support of relatives and friends and shut them away for the customary month in rehab, wrote Bankole Johnson, MD, chairman of the department of psychiatry and neuro-behavioral sciences at the University of Virginia and one of the countrys leading addiction experts, in a recent Washington Post op-ed. There is no need for alcoholics to be led to expect a miracle, only to be judged a failure if one does not occur. And there is no need to spend tens of thousands of dollars, again and again and again, on an approach that keeps landing people back where they started.
Even as we acknowledge the maxim Alcoholism is a disease, many people still consider the heavy drinker somehow flawed or lacking. Wed never judge a diabetic that way, of course, and Sheff, who nearly lost his son to crystal meth (described in his best-selling memoir Beautiful Boy), says that only by forswearing the notion that drug use is a moral choice will the country begin to apply the same scientific and social resources to curing addiction that we have to other diseases. (Glaser agrees: Government-supported researchers have discovered hundreds of new cancer therapies over the past four decades, and there are nearly 1,000 more biopharmaceutical cancer drugs in development. Yet there are a mere six or so drugs to treat alcohol abuse.)
To that end, Sheff delves into the pioneering research that is being conducted into new treatments, including vaccines for addiction, genetic diagnosis, and medications tailored to individual genetic profiles or that address specific, measurable chemical imbalances in the brain. (Johnsons group at UVA is on the cutting edge of this science.)
Still, any revolution in treatment is at least 40 years away, Sheff says, so in the meantime, he provides a blueprint for the addict who wants to take matters into her own handseverything from how to find a well-trained doctor to different therapies to the drugs thought to prevent relapsewhile stressing that theres no one right combination. I, for one, got sober for two years with the help of AA and a wonderful psychiatrist, went through a year of escalating relapses, and now have been sober again for about a year. My sobriety is still day-to-day work, but these are the tools I now rely on: a small daily dose of the anti-anxiety drug diazepam. My psychiatrist. The support of friends and family. Exercise. Meditation. Regular writing about my life and my addiction (my own form of journaling). Mostly avoiding other addicts, who, for me, are a trigger for relapse. Will that mix work for everyone? No, but, again, thats the point. The day might come when a crystal meth addict can see her GP, get a referral to an addiction physician, then leave that doctors office with a prescriptionand, surely, a plan that includes lifestyle and behavioral changes. But were not there yet.
And what about Kelly, the science teacher who was trying to do her laundry? I was sitting with her in the hallway of rehab on the day she checked out. Are you going straight back to work? I asked her. It was a Thursday morning.
I have to, she said. My husband has been home with the kids again. Hes practically about to lose his job because of my rehab. Honestly, I think hes ready to leave me, she said, and started to cry. Hell take the kids if he goes. I dont know how Ill hold it together if that happens.
I didnt know what to say. We were sitting about six inches apart from each other on the tile floor, and we watched the nurses and the orderlies legs walking up and down the hallway in their scrubs. It was about time for meds, and the other residents were starting to gather outside the fishbowl. A few came around to give Kelly a hug goodbye. Good luck, Kelly. Hope I dont see you again. Thats another one of the standard jokes.
Yeah, hope I dont see you again too.

For what it is worth:
The Statham and Crutchfield surnames appear in store accounts of the Thomas Partridge & Co., Hanover Co. VA 1734-1756. The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy has this information (Vol. 23 May 1985 No. 2; Vol. 23 Aug 1985 No. 3; Vol. 24 May 1986 No. 2) I have only searched for the Crutchfields but did notice a Statham.
Stathams, Dabneys & Merediths also appear connected.
Sarah Statham, b. abt 1792 maybe in Wilkinson Co. GA wed John Crutchfield abt. 1816, also of Wilkinson Co. GA. Sarah died abt. 1829.
Sarah is the dau. of William Dabney Statham (of Albemarle, VA?) and Francis Meredith (of VA).
Reported children of William Dabney & Francis Meredith Statham are:
Sarah Statham (wed John Crutchfield)
Eliza Statham
