Aldridge gives HPU $2 million
Archdale resident and High Point University trustee Elizabeth Aldridge has committed to give the university $2 million.
HPU will honor Aldridge and her late husband, William, by naming the Village, a complex of three buildings that house 655 students on N. College Drive, for them.
Two of Aldridge's grandchildren are HPU alumni. Aldridge was recognized by the High Point Community Foundation as Philanthropist of the Year in 2011 for her generosity in supporting a number of organizations in the greater High Point area.
"Elizabeth is a cheerleader for our community and an advocate of High Point University," said HPU President Nido Qubein. "We are grateful for her spirited and continued support."
The gift will move Aldridge into HPU's University Society of donors, those who have contributed $1 million or more.
Aldridge and her late husband, who founded Archdale Oil Co., also donated 17 acres of land to make Archdale's Creekside Park, library, fire department and Randolph County Community College possible.
In the 1980s, Aldridge was one of the first to donate to establish the endowment at High Point Regional Hospital, and she also raised funds for the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA. Aldridge also has contributed to the Board of Trustees and Grants Committee of the High Point Community Foundation.
Eight families have contributed $10 million to High Point University since 2005 for campus upgrades. Much of the money, $10 million each from the families of Earl E. Congdon, Fred E. Wilson, Jr., Mark A. Norcross and HPU President Nido Qubein, will go to the $70 million new School of Health Sciences and the proposed school of pharmacy.
Other leading HPU donors include:
• Businessman and philanthropist David Hayworth, who pledged the single largest gift in the school's history, bringing the total investment from his family to more than $25 million; Pat Norton, La-Z-Boy Corp.'s chairman; L. Paul Brayton, president of Paul Brayton Designs, real estate, valued at $2.3 million; The Millis family, led by the late Jesse Millis and Jim Millis, and Molly Millis Hedgecock gave HPU a Davidson County country home valued at $2.3 million; retired furniture salesman Plato Wilson and his daughter, Susan, gave HPU a large unrestricted gift; Kathleen and John Luke, chairman and CEO of MeadWestvaco, donated $1.1 million to create a professorship in the School of Art and Design; Hooker Furniture Corp. donated two showroom buildings on King Street with an appraised value of $1.35 million.

Tibetan Language
Learn Tibetan Language
The opportunity to study Tibetan language is one of the range of activities offered by the society. Lama Choedak Rinpoche is one of the finest teachers of the Tibetan language living in the west. He has put together training programmes and has been teaching for the past 20 years in the west including at Australian National University. His Eminence Chogye Trichen honoured him with the title "Lochen", meaning Great Translator.
"Learning Tibetan language is key to understand the Tibetan people, their way of life, religion and history. Studying Tibetan will also help to preserve the Tibetan culture which is facing great threat under the repressive policy of the communist regime in Tibet. People who are interested in Buddhism will find the importance of Tibetan language and appreciate the rich Tibetan literature on Buddhism and related subjects. Grammatically there is no great difference between the spoken and written language. Understanding the grammatical rules and their application in the spoken language will give textual scholars a greater access to the use of language as a spoken language. It is important to remind ourselves that the scribal convention was created to do service to the spoken language, not a barrier to speak. Even if you know how to read Romanized Tibetan and know few of its grammatical rules, you are not a Tibetan language scholar if you do not know how to speak the language as spoken among Tibetans. Numerous courses on 'Classical Tibetan' are taught at academic institutions around the world by people who do not speak or understand the spoken language. Graduates of such courses are left frustrated and confused as they cannot speak and understand a language they supposed to have studied several years at University level. Unlike Sanskrit, Tibetan language is a living and progressive language which is spoken in many countries in the Himalayan region.
...Tibetan is my mother tongue and I am well versed on the subject. I have had a thorough traditional training in both school and monastery under the tutelage of some of the leading Tibetan linguists, poets and grammarians alive today. My teacher, His Eminence Chogay Trichen Rinpoche was on the board of writers who designed the Tibetan school text book under the auspices of the Council of Tibetan Education in Dharamsala. I have been teaching Tibetan to non-Tibetans some years now and this book is an outcome of my own interest in teaching the language." (From the preface to "A Textbook of Tibetan Language" by Lama Choedak Rinpoche)
Tibetan Language Training
Annual Language Training intensive
Every year Lama Choedak Rinpoche leads an Intensive Tibetan Language Course, usually in January. This course is held in Canberra and the Virupa Retreat Centre just outside of Canberra. It runs each day for between ten days and three weeks. The course provides for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. By the end of the course, complete beginners will be able to read the Tibetan script, construct short sentences, formulate tenses and have a reasonable vocabulary as a foundation upon which to develop their skills. Advanced students get some serious translation experience under the expert guidance of Rinpoche.
Accommodation is available at Virupa Retreat Centre. If you are interested in joining such a course the fee is about $300 for a two week course (accommodation not included). This year, Rinpoche is donating the nett proceeds to Nalendra. Go to <events> for current course. Contact us if you would like to enquire further.
Ongoing Beginners Course
Following the last language intensive course, Lama Choedak Rinpoche has been conducting weekly classes on Thursday evenings at RBTC, Evatt, for continuing students. Should you be interested in such a course please contact us on (02) 6238 2088 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
A Textbook of Tibetan Language
This Tibetan language course handbook 'A Primer of the Tibetan language' is designed for people who want to acquire a good working knowledge of the language in a short time, and who will probably be working at home without a teacher. It will enable those with no previous knowledge of Tibetan to reach the point where they can communicate effectively and can read, write and converse on a range of topics. Originally written as a textbook for an intensive Tibetan language course, this handbook covers the essential elements of Tibetan grammar of both spoken and written Tibetan. This book has been used for the various Tibetan language classes conducted over the years by Lama Choedak Rinpoche and has proved to be effective as teaching material for both class and individual tuition. It is accompanied by an MP3 for pronunciation drills and chants.

Weekly Practice Sessions in Tibetan
Wednesdays at 7:00pm at RBTC 25 Alderman St Evatt, Rinpoche leads the Chenrezig, Green Tara or Ngondro practice sessions in the Tibetan language for the benefit of students of Tibetan language, and to honour the Lhakar movement. Everyone is welcome.

Chief Keef -- Sat, 12:15 p.m. Earlier this month, during the final sets of Pitchfork Music Festival, Arabmuzik was impressing with his rapidfire MPC drumming and out-there live beats, when Chief Keef -- a 16-year-old Chicago rapper with a recent major-label deal -- made a surprise appearance on stage for two songs, bringing his massive crew with him: an undeniable highlight of the weekend. Keef is one of the biggest names in Chicago hip-hop at the moment, but has performed few hometown shows, so his Lolla set is definitely one to catch.
Lollapalooza takes over Chicago's Grant Park this weekend, with a three-day line-up topped off by headliners like Black Sabbath and Jack White, plus highly anticipated sets by the likes of Frank Ocean and Passion Pit. Those come late each day, but there are plenty of reasons to get to the park as soon as gates open. Here are seven of them. These acts all go on before 2 p.m. So don't oversleep!

Industry mourns famed America's Cup competitorPosted on
Jack Sutphen, who served as Dennis Conner's sparring partner for multiple America's Cup campaigns, died March 24 at the age of 95. Until his final day, Sutphen — with a sparkle in his eye — could still weave stories from his amazingly full life.
Originally from the Northeast, his final home was just steps from the San Diego Yacht Club, according to Scuttlebutt.com.
Sutphen began his America's Cup career in 1958 as a sailmaker with Ratsey & Lapthorn on City Island, N.Y., according to the website of the Herreshoff Marine Museum/America's Cup Hall of Fame.
He was with the Weatherly campaign that year. In 1974, Sutphen was with the Courageous campaign, as was Dennis Conner. Sutphen had made a name for himself racing against East Coast legends Cornelius Shields and Arthur Knapp out of the Larchmont Yacht Club. When Conner brought together his own Freedom Syndicate for the 1980 Cup, he needed someone to skipper his trial horse in a two-year campaign and believed that Sutphen had great credentials.
Thus began a pattern of many successive campaigns, including the great Freedom triumph of 1980, the U.S. defeat in 1983 and the monumental comeback in 1986-87 in Australia. It was out of Hawaii and Fremantle that year that Sutphen sailed daily with the backup crew on the trial horse to Stars & Stripes as Conner worked toward regaining the Cup. Sutphen's crew was labeled "The Mushrooms," because it was kept in the dark and could be pulled out and "canned" at any moment.
"There was a great spirit on that boat," Sutphen recalled on the website. "I think we made Dennis and Stars & Stripes better." This support continued through several subsequent campaigns. He was with nine America's Cup campaigns from 1958 through 2000, seven with Team Dennis Conner.
"The passing of Jack Sutphen is a huge loss for the sailing community," Conner said on Scuttlebutt.com. "He was a sailor's sailor, from Frostbite dinghies in Larchmont to maxis or 12 Meters worldwide. Wherever Jack went, he left his mark with friendships and respect. Jack had a big impact on the America's Cup from 1958 thru 2003. Sailmaking, sailing, coaching or just being a friend, he will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to know him (I feel especially blessed). Jack enjoyed a wonderful life thru his involvement in sailing. We should all be so lucky!"

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Shongwe, Mxolisi Excellent email@example.com URN etd-07032007-102650 Document Title Performance of recalibration systems of GCM forecasts over southern Africa Degree MSc (Meteorology) Department Meteorology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof W A Landman Committee Chair Keywords
- no key words available
Date 2006-07-24 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis study assesses the performance of an atmospheric GCM forced with persisted SSTs in simulating austral summer precipitation at smaller spatial (regional) scales. Two statistical recalibration techniques of differing technical complexity are then presented and compared to get an idea as to which method among them is best suitable for southern Africa. The two regression-based methods applied in recalibrating the ECHAM4.5 GCM output during austral summer in southern Africa are based on model output statistics (MOS) using principal components regression (PCR) and canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to statistically link archived records of the GCM to regional rainfall over much of Africa south of the equator. A linear statistical model linking near-global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) to regional rainfall is also developed.
Southern Africa is divided into 18 homogeneous regions using cluster analysis. The potential predictive skill of summer precipitation over each region from raw-GCM ensembles, the linear statistical and MOS models is evaluated using the relative operating characteristics (ROC) score and the ranked probability skill score computed over a 12-year retroactive period 1989/90–2000/01.
The MOS technique outperforms the raw GCM ensembles and the linear statistical model in certain cases. On many occasions, the PCR-MOS performs better than CCA-MOS but the former does not show clear superiority over the latter method because the two methods are in a broad sense performing the same task. The need to recalibrate GCM predictions at regional scales to improve their skill at smaller spatial scales is demonstrated in this study.

I understand, from "How to Brew", that many adjuncts (I'm especially thinking oatmeal here, for a porter) require mashing with an enzymatic base malt to become fermentable. My question is, what's an appropriate ratio of base malt to oatmeal, given that I'm only doing a partial mash rather than an all-grain batch? I don't recall seeing this info anywhere; if there's an online calculator or guide somewhere, link away...
I'd go a pound of base for a pound of oatmeal or rye. And it's always a good idea to precook/boil oatmeal before adding it to the mash.
Are you doing all grain or partial mash? If your adjuncts don't go over 10% (and why would they?) you should be fine. If you're extra-paranoid, you can add some amylase to the mash.
well, if i would've read your post carefully, I would have seen that you're doing a partial mash. so listen to the others who read your post more carefully i need some sleep. good night cruel world!
1 to 1 ratio. Just match all your specialty malts and adjuncts pound for pounnd with a base malt. Even more base malt won't hurt. If your total grain bill is less than 3 pounds, add base malt to reach 3 pounds. This helps with heat retention and filtering in the mini-mash.

"This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption... Beer!"
-Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, Friar Tuck.Next up: Hefe Weizen
For what it's worth, 6 row has greater enzymatic power than 2 row. While some say the 6 row will lend more of a grainy taste I've never noticed it (though I do usually stick with 2 row anyway). Anyhow, if you're concerned then you could try using 6 row base malt.
I wouldn't go above 20% fermentible adjuncts. (Source: Papazian - The new complete joy of home brewing),
Assuming you flaked oats, they should not need precooking as they were cooked during the flaking process (Numerous sources including Papazian).
Good luck.

B.I.G. Has a Serious Response to Your Security Concerns–The Highest Level of Blast Resistance in the Industry
Blast Resistance—one of the post 9/11 security requirements in specific industries—presents a special manufacturing challenge. Working extensively with the leading ballistics engineers and suppliers of ballistic resistant materials to develop this technology, B.I.G. employs highly specialized materials such as fiberglass composites and armor-plated steel on their custom steel booths to achieve the highest level of blast resistance in the industry.
B.I.G.'s Blast and Bullet Resistant booth materials have been tested by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), H.P. White and/or Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Their ready-to-use booths can be built from Level 1 up to NIJ-IV and 50 caliber armor piercing. B.I.G. has also obtained a Blast Resistant certification on their manufacturing technique, a first in the industry.
Special features such as continuous stainless steel hinges on blast resistant doors enable them to support the armored weight and ensure easy handling without failure. B.I.G. has designed and perfected several gun ports allowing for large caliber weapons or small handguns. Both are easily operated and secure.

Interestingly, most of the shows mentioned in this article air on networks other than CBC. This proves we don't need a publicy-owned, taxpayer-subsidized television broadcaster. Canadian content can do quite well without being subsidized - if it is of high enough quality.

Go back to Questions & Answers
Do vitamins & health foods that are all "natural" need kosher supervision?
The answer is a definite yes.
Most "natural" health foods and vitamin supplements are NOT kosher. The phrases "Made or "Formulated for" indicate that the item is "a private label" & not manufactured by that Company. Usually the private labeler has very limited knowledge in the manufacturing process or the ingredients being used & therefore his information is not to be relied upon.
In vitamins we must be concerned with the raw ingredients, fillers, binders, lubricants, coating agents, flavors and the manufacturing process. Questionable ingredients include stearates (animal origin), lactose (dairy), fish oils, clams, eggs, gelatin (animal/fish derived) etc. There are also starches, alcohol & gluten etc. which are concerns for Passover use. Some may have a dairy & meat derived product in the same item, which is another concern; meat & milk together.
Some Natural sources for vitamins are:
Vitamin A- butter, milk, liver, fish oil, green & yellow fruits & vegetables.
Vitamin B1- Liver, kidney, eggs, pork, brewers yeast, nuts & cereal grain.
Vitamin B2- Organ meats, cheese, milk, eggs, fish & wheat germ.
Vitamin B3- Organ meats, royal jelly, nuts, eggs, milk, grains & kidneys.
Vitamin B6- Meat, fish, nuts, grain products etc.
Vitamin B12- Beef, clams, eggs, fish, milk etc.
Vitamin B15- Rice, beef liver, brewers yeast etc.
Vitamin C- Fruits and vegetables & corn.
Vitamin D- Fish oils (cod liver oil), eggs & milk products.
Vitamin E- Wheat germ, Green vegetables, Vegetable oils, milk products, eggs, liver & meat by products. The carrier or base may have non-kosher ingredients.
Folic Acid- Wheat germ, liver and green vegetables.
Vitamin H- Liver, eggs, vegetables & beans etc.
Vitamin K- Liver, leafy vegetables & green vegetables.
Liquids may contain glycerin, often derived from an animal source, which is non-kosher. Capsules & coated pills may contain gelatin, usually derived from non-kosher animal sources. Acidophilus may have a dairy base & be listed wrongfully as PARVE. Flavors & all inactive ingredients may have questionable ingredients and /or the carrier may have alcohol from non-kosher wine.
Many of the minerals and nutritional supplements may inherently be kosher but the process or equipment may not be kosher. It is very common to use a spray dryer to make the product into a powder form. The spray drier must be kosher sterilized. It is very common to use many non-kosher animal parts such as Taurine (an extract of ox-bile or shark blood) used in all baby formulas. A large Kosher certifier wrongfully lists "TAURINE" as a group 1=not requiring kosher certification. Other animal parts commonly used are the glandular parts, thyroid, pancreas, cartilage & shellfish etc.
In order to properly kosher certify health foods, vitamins, health supplements and especially natural products one must be very astute & knowledgeable in food chemistry. There are some certifiers that do not realize the complexity involved in certifying these types of products. One should be very cautious about the qualifications and standards of the kosher certifier.
The following books are some excellent references for questions and idea.

Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's Japan unit faces penalties after the country's securities watchdog found that employees attempted to manipulate benchmark interest rates.
The Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission asked the Financial Services Agency to take "administrative action" against RBS Securities Japan Ltd., the watchdog said in a statement in Tokyo today.
The recommendation comes two months after RBS's Japan unit agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud as part of the Edinburgh- based bank's $612 million settlement with U.K. and U.S. authorities for rigging the London interbank offered rate.
From around mid-2006 to early 2010, an RBS Securities trader and his colleagues asked employees responsible for making yen Libor submissions to change them to favor their derivatives transactions, the commission said. The conduct was "seriously unjust and malicious," it said.
In a separate violation, the SESC said RBS Securities' chief executive officer and chief operating officer received non-public customer information on bank branches of RBS and ABN Amro Bank NV from May 2008 to February 2010. The branches were consolidated in June 2009 as part of a takeover, it said.
RBS apologized to customers today, saying in a statement that it will take appropriate steps to address the issues raised.

Unspoiled Muskox hunting in Canada's North. Enjoy the comforts of our modern lodge and facilities while hunting for one of the worlds most exotic animals, the prehistoric Muskox. The Inuit call the muskox, "umingmak" which roughly translated means "skin like a beard". This is an able description of this shaggy beast which is a throw-back to the ice age. The muskox is a perfect example of arctic adaptation. To help the muskox move over the soft spongy tundra in the summer it has large saucer sized hooves. On the frozen tundra they also serve as digging tools to expose lichens and small sedges covered by the winter snow. Our muskox hunt is truly a unique opportunity for the intrepid hunter. It makes an exotic trophy, and is a delicious gourmet delight. Victoria Island has one of highest concentrations of Muskox in the world. We have a 100 % success rate on our Muskox hunts. We have a limited number of tags for Arctic Island Caribou to make for an excellent combination hunt. Availability is on a first come first serve basis.

Temperatures average around 32 to 50 degrees. Our hunts are conducted mainly by boat with only a limited amount of walking or hiking required for the final stalk. After your hunt enjoy the company of the other hunters in our full service lodge and swap stories and adventures.

Andrew Dolkart
Andrew Scott Dolkart is a professor of Historic Preservation at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) and Director of the school's Historic Preservation Program. Professor Dolkart is an authority on the preservation of historically significant architecture and an expert in the architecture and development of New York City. He was recently described as someone who is "without peer among New York's architectural researchers" by architectural critic Francis Morrone[1] and he has written extensively on this topic. Before joining the faculty at Columbia he held a position at the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and worked as a consultant. Dolkart is a popular lecturer and walking tour guide.

In 2008 he was named Director of the program in Historic Preservation at Columbia University,[3] a position previously held by James Marston Fitch (1964–1977), Robert A.M. Stern, and Paul Spencer Byard (1998–2008). In 2009 he was awarded tenure, becoming the second tenured Director in the history of the Historic Preservation program.

First and foremost, we focus on you so…
You experience recovery.
You are successful.
You achieve.
Addictive illness wrecks lives, ruins relationships and the chaos of the illness causes misery and despair.
You experience recovery, so you get your life back. You change.
Our clients have hope, they find happiness, they rebuild relationships and they find joy. The combination of an individual's motivation to change and our balanced, holistic treatment program, leads our clients to have life changing experiences. Ledgehill is a place where significant change happens.
We have brought together an excellent team of highly qualified counsellors, therapists and support staff. Each have a unique role in the recovery of every client. All our staff are passionate about what they do. They facilitate an individual recovery program to address the underlying emotional issues that lead to the addiction. You can get what you need; the tools and skills to help YOU recover.
Our structured and supportive program is intensive and active. We accept clients into our program who have a good general level of physical health and stable mental health. Our criteria for admission are thorough, you are set up to succeed from the beginning. Every aspect of our programming is evidence based, this provides the best care and treatment for every client that comes to our facility. We pay attention to detail, nutrition, exercise, physical environment, counselling, therapies – everything is addressed.
You are expected to work hard, to be committed to your recovery. The schedule starts each day at 8am and finishes at 9pm. The schedule is busy with individual work, group counseling, education, experiential learning, workshops, exercise, outdoor activities, therapeutic assignments, therapeutic duties, diet and nutrition, AA or NA meetings and much more. There is no weekend leave, the treatment is fully residential, staff support you 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
We provide additional support once you leave Ledgehill with regular email contact to continue to address the issues that lead to your addiction.
Attendance at AA or NA groups in the community also plays a significant role in your continued success and recovery.
If you have an addictive illness, you have a family member who suffers or you have a colleague or employee who is struggling with addiction, contact Ledgehill, to find help and support. Confidentiality and discretion are vital for the work that we do when helping an individual to recovery from their addictive illness. Any call is free and there is no obligation. The first step, making the call, can be the first step to a journey that will change your life.
Be fair to yourself
If you are to enter recovery from a life of addiction, the importance of making the right choices cannot be overstated. The hardest decision of all is the very first one; the decision to seek help to conquer addiction and get your life back.
The second decision is to choose exactly what help you need.
Be realistic. If you are to beat your addiction, which most likely began years ago, you are going to have to put in a lot of work over a sustained period. There is no 'quick fix', no-one can do it for you, it's something you must take responsibility for yourself – with the right support.
Please think very carefully about the consequences for yourself of choosing the wrong program – the further damage to your self-belief, the risks to your health and well-being if you remain in addiction, the social and financial costs to yourself and your loved ones.
Here are a few things you should consider when making a choice about where your recovery should begin.
Ask about the program duration
There are two very important factors that influence the chances of treatment being successful: the motivation of the client to overcome their addiction, and the duration of the program. The longer the program, the greater the likelihood of success.
Some programs run for as little as 15 days spread over a 3 week period. There are dangers with this approach.
Firstly, 15 days is a very short time period in which to uncover the root causes of a client's addiction, and for the client to learn the new living skills to prevent relapse.
Secondly, when a program runs on weekdays only and clients go home at weekends, the temptation to return to using can be overwhelming. The client has hardly begun the process of overcoming addiction when they are placed back in the very environment in which their problems manifest themselves.
Ledgehill's standard program is 45 days long, and runs for seven days per week. We also offer a 90-day program, and a 30-day condensed program. All clients are therefore fully immersed in the program for the whole duration of their treatment.
Consider the location
Many people, when faced with the propect of entering a rehab facility, understandably feel that they would prefer to be close to home. This can be a mistake, however. In order to break the habits of the past, it is much better to be in a completely neutral environment. Rehab facilities that are located in cities or subdivisions can be too close to sources of temptation for their clients.
Ledgehill is in a rural area, safe from the temptations of city life. At the same time, it is very accessible, being 2 hours by road from Halifax. Stanfield airport (Halifax) provides links to major Canadian and US cities and we provide free transfers from the airport.
What are the facilities and environment like?
Undergoing a rehabilitation program is an experience that makes big demands on the energy of every client. When you are fully engaged with our program, you will find times when it is fun, times when it is emotionally draining, happy times and sad times.
We believe that clients need the best possible environment to support their recovery. When choosing a rehab facility, ask whether it provides the following:
– Will you have your own room?
– Will you have to share a bathroom?
– What is the policy regarding nutrition and meals?
– What is the external environment like?
Ledgehill scores highly in all of these areas. All clients are provided with luxurious accommodation in their own room with an en-suite bathroom, and our centre is set in over 100 beautiful acres. We provide excellent, high-quality meals. Attention to detail is key; our rooms are sound-proofed so that peace and tranquility are built into the very fabric of Ledgehill.
Ask whether the programs tailored to the individual
A one-size-fits-all approach is not the right model for a program of treatment for addiction. We have heard of rehab centres that do little more than offer group lectures delivered by PowerPoint displays.
We know every individual has different reasons for being an addict, and so we tailor our programs to the client. This means regular one-to-one counselling, and if necessary we offer programs outside the standard 30/45/90-day duration to suit the needs of each client.
Ask about the group size
Treating clients as individuals cannot happen in a centre that tries to treat large groups of client at any one time. This leads to an institutionalised feel and reduces treatment to a mere process, ignoring individual needs.
At Ledgehill we do not treat more than 9 clients at any one time, and usually clients are in a group of 4-7.
It is also very important to consider the clientele that a facility aims to treat. We believe that it is important that clients are at ease with other clients at Ledgehill, and our admissions process supports. The majority of our clients are drawn from families within the professional and business communities.
Check the arrangements for aftercare
When choosing a rehab facility, ask about the arrangements for aftercare. This is a vital component of a sustained recovery.
All of our clients leave with a clear plan for aftercare, including support in their local community and ongoing support from Ledgehill by telephone and scheduled email assignments.
Consider the cost of treatment
The cost of treatment is obviously a major concern for many clients. When comparing costs, please bear in mind the following:
– Are the treatment programs you are considering truly comparable? (Do they really offer the same thing?)
– What is included in the cost – do you need to pay extra for any of the treatments?
– How many days of treatment are you actually getting for your money?
– Treating addiction is a major financial consideration for most people. But what is the human and financial cost of remaining in addiction?
– As with anything, you get what you pay for.
We believe that our fees represent excellent value for money for the treatment that we provide. You might want to read about our all inclusive pricing policy when making your decision as to whether to join us.

The University of Wyoming's new shorts are probably the most "fun" shorts we've seen in a long time. Most teams are aiming to imitate Oregon football, or Maryland lacrosse. It's about going super custom, modern, and definitely oh-so serious.
Wyoming's shorts are not so serious, but they are definitely custom, and if it works for the Cowboys, then who am I, just another sweet laxer, to complain? Summer club invades the college game. Get ready for it.
At first the only thing that jumped out at me were the two big guns running down each side. Then I noticed the bandolier, and the recognized that the blue was denim. It's chaps over jeans. Classic.
At first glance it just looked like a really cool design. And that's what makes this work. Well done, Wyoming! Took a huge risk with these, and they came out great. Stephen Oppenheimer and the Wyoming guys are an adventurous bunch. The shorts were produced by Wave One Sports based out of Conshohocken, PA.

Apr 18, 2014 12:28 PM
ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) - A powerful magnitude-7.2 earthquake shook central and southern Mexico on Friday, sending panicked people into the streets, where broken windows and debris fell, but there were no early reports of major damage or casualties.
The U.S. Geological Survey said it was centered northwest of the Pacific resort of Acapulco, where many Mexicans are vacationing for the Easter holiday.
It was felt across at least a half-dozen states and Mexico's capital, where it shook for at least 30 seconds. Around the region, there were reports of isolated and minor damage, such as fallen fences, trees and broken windows. Chilpancingo, capital of the southern state of Guerrero, where the quake was centered, reported a power outage, but service was restored after 15 minutes.
In Acapulco, 59-year-old Enedina Ramirez Perez was having breakfast, enjoying the holiday with about 20 family members, when her hotel started to shake.
"People were turning over chairs in their desperation to get out, grabbing children, trampling people," the Mexico City woman said. "The hotel security was excellent and starting calming people down. They got everyone to leave quietly."
The quake struck 170 miles (273 kilometers) southwest of Mexico City, where people fled high rises and took to the streets, many in still in their bathrobes and pajamas on their day off.
"I started to hear the walls creak and I said, 'Let's go,'" said Rodolfo Duarte, 32, who fled his third-floor apartment.
"This is really strong," said Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez Chavez, 45, an apartment building guard in Mexico City. "And I'm accustomed to earthquakes."
The USGS initially calculated the quake's magnitude at 7.5, but later downgraded it to 7.2. It said the quake was centered 22 miles (36 kilometers) northwest of the town of Tecpan de Galeana, and was 15 miles (24 kilometers) deep.
In many cases of earthquakes in Mexico, it can take time to receive word from remote areas near the epicenter, where damage could be more extensive. No one answered the phone at the city hall for Tecpan de Galeana.
Mexico City itself is vulnerable even to distant earthquakes because much of it sits atop the muddy sediments of drained lake beds that quiver as quake waves hit.
The magnitude-8.1 quake in 1985 that killed at least 6,000 people and destroyed many buildings in Mexico City was centered 250 miles (400 kilometers) away on the Pacific Coast.

Time to Share – Tots100 harnessing the power of the blogosphere
The lovelies at Tots100, supported by Bright One are calling out into the Blogosphere and asking Bloggers to give an hour or two of their time (in March and April) to volunteer with some amazing projects and charities. The sign up information was launched yesterday and by early evening no fewer than 50 bloggers had registered to help with local charities which mean something to them.
Bloggers write best about their personal experiences. By volunteering for a couple of hours a blogger then has first hand knowledge of the issues a charity may face and what the work they do involves. Giving this time not only helps in the short term but by sharing the information gained with their blog followers they are raising awareness in a very powerful and personal way.
No time left to share?
If you don't have time to volunteer (I don't), do your bit by sharing information about this great project. Blog badges and full information about the scheme are available from the Tots100 website. Add a badge to your site, share the scheme information with your social networks and perhaps write a brief post like this one.
The blogosphere can be a powerful thing. By pulling together there is no limit what we can achieve.
Please visit the Tots100 site to read more.

Until 5 December she trained midshipmen from the Naval Academy, thence she steamed via Norfolk and Key West to Pensacola, Fla., for duty with the 8th Naval District. Vega patrolled waters of the Gulf Coast from 22 December to 21 March 1919. Between 22 March and 4 April she returned to Philadelphia where she resumed duty in the 4th Naval District.

Nico Hulkenberg says both he and Sauber are ready to take the 'next step'
German says his own expectations are highest of all
By Mike Wise. Last Updated: 03/02/13 9:59am
Nico Hulkenberg stopped short of saying it outright, but there is little doubt that he is targeting victory with Sauber this coming season.
The 25-year-old German has joined the Swiss-based outfit at a time when the momentum of both driver and team appear to be gathering pace. Hulkenberg had an impressive season with Force India last year and led the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix. Sauber, meanwhile, earned themselves four podium finishes as they challenged Mercedes in the Constructors' Championship.

Two of those podiums, in Malaysia and Italy, were second places for the now departed Sergio Perez. Speaking at the launch of Sauber's new C32 car on Saturday, Hulkenberg suggested that both driver and team are now ready to win.
"The Sauber F1 Team made significant progress last year from 2011," he said. "Now the team is ready to take the next step, and I want to play my part in making that happen. My personal aim is to put in a good, steady performance this season.
"Out of everyone here, my own expectations are probably the highest. That's part of the job, part of Formula 1 - I'm not worried about that.
"It's just a really exciting time to start and I'm really looking forward to the start of the season and finally to be in Melbourne and on the grid."
Since Hulkenberg's Sao Paulo showing - he eventually finished fifth after colliding with Lewis Hamilton's McLaren in treacherous conditions - he has swapped Silverstone for Sauber's factory in Hinwil.

From dawn to dusk, Sky Sports Online will be providing live interactive commentary from trackside at both Jerez and Barcelona on every day of testing this winter, while Sky Sports News will be providing regular live updates from the tests, starting with Jerez on February 5-8.
A round-up show featuring the day's interviews from Jerez will go out at 9pm each evening of the test on Sky Sports F1.
"After the end of last season I've been around quite a bit. It's a new team, so I've been getting to know the people - the engineers, the people I work close with is really quite important," Hulkenberg said.
"But also the winter training has gone pretty well. The last two or three weeks I've spent a lot of time getting myself in good shape. Now I'm really excited about this season, this year, and I'm looking forward to start it."
Embarking upon his third full season of F1, Hulkenberg will have to quickly familiarise himself with his new surroundings as he is effectively team leader.
His team-mate, 21-year-old rookie Esteban Gutierrez, has a long-standing relationship with Sauber - he first tested for them in late 2009 - but the Mexican is setting his sights lower for now.
"I think the most important challenge in Formula 1 is to adapt to the whole psychological atmosphere. You have the media around; of course, there's certain additions to the car," the former GP2 racer said.
"The challenge I really want to achieve is to be consistent at a high competitive level. This is what I'm looking for."
Of her two new charges, Sauber Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn added: "We have very high expectations and both of them know that. We have two young, fast and very talented drivers.
"As for Nico, we'd been watching him last year and often enough we felt ourselves how fast he could actually be. We think he's a very efficient driver and if he gets the opportunity, he takes it and brings that result home.
"With regard to Esteban, we've known him for quite a while and we've tried our best to support his way into Formula 1. We think now is the right time and I'm also confident that he will contribute to the success of the team."
