It was a glorious October Saturday in L.A. when oil trader Rob Keating decided, on a whim, to play Pebble Beach. He called up the clubhouse. Any chance, he asked, that I could get on the course today?
A few years before, such a call might have been absurd. The waiting list for Pebble Beach tee times was a legendary eighteen months, assuming one had ponied up for a night's stay at the Lodge. Greens fees, in other words, were essentially a grand for a round of golf that you might never live to see.
That was then; this is now. Five hours after Keating's call he was standing on Pebble's first tee.
The state of America's economy has provided many benefits to the traveling golfer, perhaps the greatest being that the game's marquee courses are now far more accessible than ever before. Like a lineup of homecoming queens who find themselves without dates, they're suddenly eager for attention. All of which makes this the optimal time for a pilgrimage to a mecca like Monterey. Its handful of storied public-access courses are there for the taking. The hidden gems—and they are legion—are less packed with frustrated overflow. And the resort courses of nearby Carmel Valley are open and pristine.
During a recent stretch of eight rounds on the peninsula, only once did I encounter a backup on a tee. Add to this languor the otherworldly aesthetics of Monterey golf: the crashing surf and romantic fog, the barking seals and panoply of wildlife. Then nestle it all amid the bucolic, postcard-perfect towns of Carmel, Monterey and Pacific Grove. Rarely has economic uncertainty made for such a lovely time.
As far as Monterey is concerned, the golf course building boom of the nineties might as well have never occurred. In the past thirteen years, not a single new public course was built on the peninsula. Then again, no more were truly needed. As perhaps the first great golf destination in America's history, Monterey has had a century to compile an array of oceanfront legends, resort stunners and solid municipal tracks. And recent across-the-board improvements at each have brought them all up to snuff.
1700 17-Mile Drive, Pebble Beach; 831-647-7500, pebblebeach.com. Yardage: 6,737. Par: 72. Slope: 142. Architects: Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, 1919; renovated by H. Chandler Egan, 1928. Greens Fee: $380. T+L GOLF Rating: *****
In years past, Pebble could rightly be accused of coasting on mere majesty alone. The divine vistas, champagne-like air and joyful choruses of barking seals were good. The often spotty conditions, bumpy greens and six-hour rounds?Not so good. All of this changed in 1999, when local heroes Clint Eastwood, Peter Ueberroth, Arnold Palmer and Richard Ferris purchased the Pebble Beach Company. And indeed, my latest round revealed a course benefiting from their guidance (and their cold hard cash). Pace of play was downright brisk; we got around in four hours and fifteen minutes, despite actor Kevin James duck-hooking a drive into our foursome. Fairways and bunkers were splendid and firm. The new seventy-foot-tall cypress guarding the eighteenth green has returned the finishing strategy to an otherwise flawless hole. And the addition of the new cliffside par-three fifth by Nicklaus in 1998 has made the oceanside stretch from four through ten seamless and nonpareil. There is now, in other words, nothing to distract from a layout so stunningly gorgeous that its mere existence proves God is a golfer.
Spyglass Hill Road, Pebble Beach; 831-647-7500, pebblebeach.com. Yardage: 6,862. Par: 72. Slope: 148. Architect: Robert Trent Jones Sr., 1966. Greens Fee: $265. T+L GOLF Rating: *****
By now, we're all familiar with Nicklaus's contention that if he had one last round to play, he would play it at Pebble. A surprising number of locals, however, call Spyglass the course they're dying to play—and would play if they were dying. Some cite as proof the layout's opening five holes, a links-like collection whose aesthetics play Pebble to a draw. The revered par-four fourth defines this stretch, with an amoeba of a green, flanked by ice plant-covered mounds, that is approachable after only the most thoughtful drive. But from the sixth on, the character of the holes dramatically changes as the routing turns inland and upward through the Del Monte Forest. These thirteen are often brutish, like the all-uphill eighth, a par four requiring a softly landing long-iron draw to an elevated green guarded on the right by a surly long-faced bunker. Every hole here demands golf shots—nothing but golf shots.
1 McClure Way, Seaside; 831-899-7271, bayonetblackhorse.com. Yardage: 7,117. Par: 72. Slope: 136. Architects: Gen. Bob McClure with Ken Venturi, 1954. Greens Fees: $70-$97. T+L GOLF Rating: ****1/2
The military is great for many things—fighting Middle Eastern despots comes readily to mind—but designing world-class golf courses isn't usually one of them. Bayonet is an exception. It's so good the AT&T considered adding it to its rotation, and the PGA Tour still discusses making it part of a TPC. Credit for this and for its defining characteristic is owed to designer Gen. Bob McClure. Legend has it that McClure, a left-hander with a vicious slice, routed many Bayonet holes to the flight of his ball. Thus the most challenging stretch here, from eleven through fifteen, is distinguished by three blind, brawny dogleg lefts. Known as "Combat Corner," these holes also feature the long sweeping tree-lined fairways and the slippery greens that have endeared Bayonet to the public since it was opened to all in 1994, then lovingly renovated in 1997 with the aid of the PGA Tour. Local tip: Owing to the slope of the land, those greens all break toward Santa Cruz—which is great so long as you know where Santa Cruz is.
1 McClure Way, Seaside; 831-899-7271, bayonetblackhorse.com. Yardage: 7,009. Par: 72. Slope: 137. Architects: Gen. Edwin Carnes and Gen. Bob McClure, 1964. Greens Fees: $70-$97. T+L GOLF Rating: ****
If Bayonet is the WW II of the peninsula, Black Horse is the Korean War. Not quite as long. Not quite as legendary. But still a damn hard fight. McClure was merely a consultant on this design, perhaps explaining the relative dearth of dogleg lefts. The hillier of the two layouts, with ocean views that surpass its sister course, it boasts burly oaks, cypresses and pines that guard the fairways like sentries, and an arsenal of elevated greens. Black Horse, like Bayonet, has hosted stages one and two of PGA Q-school. And in 1998 it received its own PGA Tour-sanctioned makeover, a renovation that lengthened and toughened it but unfortunately did little to improve a collection of par threes too mediocre to pass muster. Were it not for those, Black Horse might indeed match Bayonet in the battle for the hearts and minds of golfers.
3200 Lopez Road, Pebble Beach; 831-625-2154, poppyhillsgolf.com. Yardage: 6,833. Par: 72. Slope: 144. Architect: Robert Trent Jones Jr., 1986. Greens Fees: $50-$160. T+L GOLF Rating: ****
Perhaps it was built on a sacred Indian burial ground. Or maybe the land harbors a mysterious magnetic anomaly. Whatever the cause, playing Poppy is a uniquely unsettling experience. The sidehill lies, the sweeping doglegs, the tightly wooded fairways, the severely sloped greens—they all combine to create the sensation of golfing in a log cabin with badly warped floors. It's a testament to the strength of Jones's work here that, despite this unbalancing act, highly skilled golfers in search of a challenge keep coming back for more. The pristine greens, the finest we encountered in the area, and the course's overall splendid condition surely help. Still, spin around three times and hit a three-iron; if you don't hit it flush, don't make this tee time.

And we drink and get older
from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Macklemore) – Cowboy Boots Lyrics on Genius
We drink and socialize, all the while aging. We tend to do most of our heavy drinking in our twenties — hence the next line.
This is also a play on words off the idea that alcoholic drinks often time taste better the longer that they age.

I've been so nice to them (except for not weeding them), given them lots of chicken manure, lime, hay, etc. And they produce crumbly berries every single year! I thought maybe it was not enough pollination, but the black raspberries are doing just fine as always. I'm ready to mow them all over and forget about 'em. That'll show them! I've had them for years too, and never got a decent crop. They hate me! The soil isn't bad and they get enough sun. I believe they are 'red latham'. They are terrible, I got a lot of berries, but they crumble when you pick them and there are hardly any 'berry' on them to begin with. Help help help!! |

You know... I don't know what it is, but I've had the same problem. Same variety, even! The occasional one or two berries that actually set well and ripen look great, but they fall apart if you glance at them funny and always taste 'off'. I doubt it's the soil in this case, either; I've not done so much extra amending as you (just some composting and mulch, same as everything else here gets), and other items in the space do just peachy. The wild ones we have in other parts of the yard always do pretty well, and this year they're going gangbusters! I may just rip out the last of the Reds and let the wild ones have the room. They'll probably make better use of it. *sigh* |
I know...though after writing this a few days later I noticed some decent looking ones, but they are always so small! Is that typical of that variety? Then I wonder if maybe a virus would be doing it? Other than that, they seem to look healthy. I have some sort of cool looking 'weedy' raspberry fruting now, it's in clusters and is a bit 'sticky' to the touch, but they taste great, they start out yellow and turn red. Heck, I may just put them in instead, they grow like crazy too! |

mersiepoo- I'm sorry to hear that. I hadn't commented previously because I don't grow Latham. Was the chicken manure composted first? Or was it just straight manure? Perhaps just try simple compost next year to see if that helps? I think either way, I'd plant another variety to see if that helps. Perhaps a really strong variety like Prelude. As I mentioned in another post, it sounds like you have Wineberries as the other plant you mention. Best regards, -Glenn |
I'll BET they need lots more water. They need 1-2" per week. |

We have the same crumbly raspberry problem, but ours are not Lathams, they are Cambie variety. We have had so much rain this year that the problem can't possibly be not enough water. They've been like this for years, is it maybe that the canes are too old? Ours are 12 to 15 years old, they look very healthy, tall canes, big leaves, nice dark green colour. |
Raspberry leaf curl virus can cause the fruit to be small, crumbly, and seedy. Do the leaves look strange? I'm guessing it might be due to too much rain or it's just a characteristic of the variety (never grown that variety myself). Kim |

I had a two varieties (Nova & Prelude)of early red raspberries that after a few years of good production began to produce crumbly berries. My extension agent suspected Tomato Spot Rust Virus, vectored to the roots of my plants by the dagger nematode. She took soil samples to run a nematode assay, sent them to Va Tech and the lab techs found that my soil was infested with dagger nematodes. I had to dig all the plants up and throw them out. Once a red raspberry has a virus, it never loses it. You have to destroy the plants and find a planting location where there are no dagger nematodes. |

The Cambie variety mentioned above is likely "Canby". |

Anyone who has ever ordered a drink at Kahunaville Restaurant and Bar at the Kalahari Resort knows this is not a simple transaction.
Instead, the bartenders often show off their talents by flipping bottles, telling jokes, juggling and doing magic. This entertainment style is known as flair, which in recent years has been catching on all over the states.
Hoping to make a name for itself on the national scene, the Kalahari Resort is hosting its first-ever World Flair Bartender Championship, which takes place April 6 and 7 at the popular Sandusky venue.
"We just want to bring that style of entertainment to this area," said Kalahari Marketing Manager Kristann Hartley. "That's what Kalahari is all about, entertainment and the beyond factor. We believe by bringing that competition here we are able to bring a type of entertainment that some people may have not ever seen or may never get the chance to see. "So we're very excited to get the chance of hosting it."
Hartley says April is a down month for national flair competitions, which is why Kalahari scheduled it then with hopes of attracting some of the world's best bartenders. She said this was the case with 42 competitors vying for over $9,000 in cash and prizes at the World Flair Bartender Championship.
The event begins on April 6 with the qualifying rounds taking place in the convention center at Kalahari Resort. Admission is free and there will be free food and drink samples. The final competition rounds are scheduled for April 7 at Kahunaville Restaurant and Bar.
Taking part in the competition will be Kalahari's own lead bartender Colin Griffith, who last year finished in the top ten in the World Championship Flair Competitions. Kalahari bartenders Bryan Hannis and Josh Goldurs have also entered the competition.
Even if you've never witnessed flair bartending in person, odds are you're familiar with the on-screen, bottle-tossing exploits of Tom Cruise in the feature film "Cocktail." The comparison between the movie and the current flair trend is accurate to a point.
"It does (compare), but it's a little bit more than that," Hartley said. "It's bartending at its best. These guys spend a ton of hours practicing. They have their routines that they plan out. It's not just getting out and throwing a bottle or a glass in the air. They spend a lot of time on the planning and prep work."
Hartley said she hopes the World Flair Bartender Championship will create an awe-inspiring experience that will go on for years to come.
"It's just an entertainment style that is something you don't want to miss," Hartley said. We'll have lights going, and we'll have music going," Harley said. "It's going to be quite an event. So it's very exciting, very high energy, very fast paced and just great fun."

Actors in Talks to Fill Paul Walker's Roles in Action Sequel and Romance Adaptation
Movie News By Dustin Hucks on January 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWith Paul Walker's untimely passing comes casting holes in upcoming films he was set to star. 2007's Hitman, based on the popular video game featuring an elite assassin originally starred Justified-lead Timothy Olyphant, but its upcoming sequel, Agent 47, was to begin shooting with Walker in the title role after completing his Fast and Furious 7 duties. It now appears Homeland star Rupert Friend is in early discussions to fill the position in his stead. Friend is also known for his role in 2008's The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
James Marsden is also in preliminary talks to take Walker's place in the Nicholas Sparks romantic novel adaptation of The Best of Me, where he'd star alongside Michelle Monaghan as reunited high school sweethearts in rural North Carolina. Marsden is best know in his role as Scott Summers/Cyclops in Bryan Singer's X-Men, and most recently appeared in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues alongside Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd.

Report: Nintendo 3DS update to allow 3D video recording
Iwata claims how disk space is no longer an issue for video storage.
The latest issue of "Iwata Asks" addressed Nintendo's upcoming handheld, the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo Japan's president Saturo Iwata chats with Shingeru Miyamoto and Shingesato Itoi about their 3D device.
Discussions went further concerning the 3D handheld, eventually, to speak about a likelihood option of recording 3D videos using the Nintendo 3DS, throughout software update in the future. Iwata claimed how since the device supports 32GB SD cards, disk space is no longer an issue to record and save videos on the system.
"Until now even if you have taken 3D photos, you wouldn't have many ways to show them off, but if everyone has one and is taking 3D photos and showing them to each other, then that changes the value. Perhaps this is going to be the first time when something like this can spread far and wide rather rapidly. I think it will be fun if we're able to include video recording capabilities with future updates." – Satoru Iwata
Saruto Iwata has hinted before how many ideas would have potential operating on the 3DS, including 3D video chat, 3D movies and whatnot. Although as stated, recording 3D videos is possible on the device, Nintendo didn't issue a statement whether we will see the feature as a default option when the system launches in February.

Ryat on its improvisational roots, its collaborations and Avant Gold
Philadelphia's Ryat (due tonight at Rhinoceropolis) started as a solo project for multi-instrumentalist avant-garde songwriter Christina Ryat before Tim Conley joined the sonic adventure that is making music in this unit. With both Ryat and Conley benefiting from backgrounds in improvisational and experimental music, their collaboration has produced a richly detailed sound that successfully bridges the gap between outsider electronic music and something more accessible. The band's latest album, Avant Gold, finds Ryat and Conley stretching themselves into pop territory -- but in their able hands, that pop is a panoramic, layered affair comprising sound ideas sculpted into playful passages. Because of the duo's varied background (separately and as a band), it's been able to play unique shows of pure improvisation and work with other artists in a more open-ended fashion. We caught up with Ryat and Conley en route from Bozeman, Montana, to their next adventure, and talked about their creative process as performers as well as Christina's involvement with the Annenberg Foundation and Tim's previous work with Bernie Worrell and Mike Watt.Ryat.
Westword: What was that Flying Lotus song you covered? Why that song and that band, and how did you approach covering that sort of thing?
Christina Ryat: I think Flying Lotus is one of the most cutting-edge electronic artists and instrumentalists right now. I was really drawn to that track, and I was hearing how you could chop it up and have a lot of fun with it. We like to pull out a cover here and there -- an obscure cover most of the time. One reason is that I like to promote independent artists that not a lot of people have heard of yet. A lot of people have heard of Flying Lotus and a lot of people haven't. I was happy when people were like, "What was that song?" -- or just to mention it every night to check that out -- to promote experimental music and keep bringing it to the surface and the forefront.
The song is called "Nose Art." I think I started calling it "Noise Art," because that's what I felt it was for a minute. I think I wrote it when I was chopping up the track. I named the track that, and I forgot the title was "Nose Art," so now we're changing it back.
How did you get interested in playing so many instruments, and how did you come to integrate them in your current project?
Christina: It started off little by little. I started playing guitar because I wanted to write my own songs. Honestly, that's when I was eighteen. Then I went to school for music, and you had to play piano, so I had to learn piano, which I love for improvising and making songs. So I ended up studying jazz, because I like improvisation. I played in a lot of different bands where, if I was hearing sound, I wanted to use that instrument -- or if I heard a synthesizer. I'm the type of person whose ears perk up when I hear a new sound or a sound that I like -- "Oh, how can I play, what can I do?"
That kind of happened when I was introduced to Reason software. When I moved to Philly and met electronic musicians like King Britt and Jneiro Jarel, they were like, "Oh, if you like to do all this, you should play with Reason." Then I really got into production, modifying and tweaking sounds. I've always used a lot of pedals, and my ear just gravitates to different things, and I get bored really quickly. I think it's more about getting bored really quickly and getting stuff out of my head.
How do you approach doing improv in general?
Christina: Last night was really exciting, because we happened to be in Bozeman, Montana, playing the university. We were asked to do an improv session with some really awesome players in town. Tim and I had a really good time, because we really loved that space. It's sort of a zen space, where your ears open up and you're bouncing off everybody. I hate when people play too much. Sometimes there's a moment where everybody's playing crazy at once -- that's really fun. But it's all about listening and reaching into that part of your soul that's really raw and organic -- almost that songwriting space where you're creating a new tune and it's so exciting and so fresh. That's why I love improv, because you're in almost this, like, meditative zen space of complete openness, and you're letting everything out.

I am a husband to my wife Shirley. I am trying my best to raise my three kids which are now all teenagers and a young adult.
I am presently the lead Pastor of Lighthouse Community Church in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. My family and several people moved into the area almost six years ago to start a church planting ministry.
If you don't know where Cape Breton is it the eastern part of Nova Scotia and has one of the lowest percentage of young people and young adults engaged in any church in Canada. Previously, I spent eleven years as a youth, young adult, and missions pastor.
I try in a very simple and honest way to challenge people to live like Jesus without the clutter that is usually attached. I spend a bit of time speaking to youth, young adults, parents, and leaders about why people walk away from their churches and faith. I hope to re-engage many on the fringe and to speak hope into the lives of people, ministries, and churches today.
On a personal side I have been an extreme sports fan and participant most of my life. I have been an active snowboarder and skateboarder for almost twenty five years. I have a few other hobbies like photography, video shooting and editing, and playing music.
Over the past few years I started writing and now blogging. I do not claim to have all the answers, but I have a lot of questions. I am not offended by people who disagree or think differently than me. I love discussing issues of life, love, and faith.

I just heard you speak this weekend at Engage at Briercrest. Thanks for your ministry!
I think one of the things that I like best about the "Before You Say Goodbye" magazine is that it is a tool that can be used to help engage youth and young adults. I appreciate that it is trying to show the relevance of Scripture and the church and draw people towards a thriving relationship with The Lord. The use of QR codes to link to testimnonies, ministry opportunities and other information is a creative way to use various forms of media to communicate the same message.
I would enjoy having a copy of your e-book "Beautiful Christ."
I read your book, "Before you say Goodbye" and would like to receive a copy of "Beautiful Christ". My favourite part of the book was that you addressed many different issues I was struggling with, and answered so many of my questions about Christianity. However, I still have unanswered questions that I hope "Beautiful Christ" will address. Awesome book though!

The NFL Draft has come and gone. No more mock drafts, no more profiles, and no more hearsay and speculation. Naturally, that means it's time to milk the draft until training camp, because the next three months of the offseason make us feel scared and cold. This week we'll be going through the divisions and taking a look at how each team did after the first round. Up next, the AFC East.
Buffalo Bills
2 – Cordy Glenn, OT, Georgia
3 – T.J. Graham, WR, North Carolina State
4 – Nigel Bradham, OLB, Florida State
4 – Ron Brooks, CB, Louisiana State
5 – Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State
5 – Tank Carder, LB, Texas Christian
6 – Mark Asper, OG, Oregon
7 – John Potter, K, Western Michigan
Favorite Pick(s): I have to begin this review with a confession: I'm an unabashed Bills fan.
The last decade of Bills football has been grim. The organization's ineptitude was consistently on display during the draft. Aaron Maybin, Donte Whitner, John McCargo…J.P Losman. I could go on.
Things are beginning to change, however. The arrival of Buddy Nix and Doug Whaley has seen the Bills adopt a strategy that's pretty foolproof – draft players from the south, preferably the SEC. Cordy Glenn in the second round is great value while also filling a need. Nix has made it known you can never have enough corners, especially when facing Tom Brady twice a year. Ron Brooks is one of the most versatile defensive backs in the draft, as he played a key role on special teams while seeing plenty of action when the Tigers had their Nickel package on the field.
Miami Dolphins
2 – Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
3 – Olivier Vernon, OLB, Miami-Florida
3 – Michael Egnew, TE, Missouri
4 – Lamar Miller, RB, Miami-Florida
5 – Josh Kaddu, ILB, Oregon
6 – B.J. Cunningham, WR, Michigan State
7 – Kheeston Randall, DE, Texas
7 – Rishard Matthews, WR, Nevada
Favorite Pick(s): The Dolphins 2012 draft will be measured on one pick and one pick alone. Tough luck for Jeff Ireland, who did a pretty good job in round two to seven. Jon Martin should be able to start at right tackle from Day 1. Junior Olivier Vernon, another Miami underclassmen who probably should have stayed in school, had a litany of red flags. His eye-opening performance at the NFL Combine showed scouts he could play at outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense.
Josh Kaddu was a First Team All Pac 10 selection in his final year at Oregon. Kaddu has excellent speed, but his ability to cover in the NFL will be challenged immediately. Nevada's Rishard Matthews put up excellent numbers in his senior season, and his special teams experience will give him a good chance to make the Dolphins' opening day roster.
New York Jets
2 – Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech
3 – Demario Davis, ILB, Arkansas State
6 – Josh Bush, S, Wake Forest
6 – Terrance Ganaway, RB, Baylor
6 – Robert T. Griffin, OG, Baylor
7 – Antonio Allen, S, South Carolina
7 – Jordan White, WR, Western Michigan
Favorite Pick(s): Quality, not quantity would be the best description for the Jets' 2012 draft. Looking for a deep threat who wasn't a terrible teammate, the Jets selected Stephen Hill in the second round. Hill has been compared to former Yellow Jackets Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas, comparisons that the Jets themselves have made have made, which will undoubtedly become a burden (crosses fingers) for the wide receiver.
In the sixth round the Jets drafted a pair of Baylor Bears. Terrance Ganaway is a bruising runner who excelled against defenses that were primarily concerned with some guy named Robert Griffin III. New York also selected the second best Robert Griffin in the sixth. South Carolina's Antonio Allen in the seventh round was excellent value for a team in need of help at Safety.
New England Patriots
2 – Tavon Wilson, S, Illinois
3 – Jake Bequette, OLB, Arkansas
6 – Nate Ebner, S, Ohio State
7 – Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
7 – Jeremy Ebert, WR, Northwestern
Favorite Pick(s):For the first time I can remember the Pats traded up in round one to shore up a terrible defense. The rest of the Pats' draft was puzzling. They went way off the board for Tavin Wilson in the second round. Arkansas OLB Jake Bequette was also considered a reach in the third round.
What happens to Nebraska CB Alfonzo Dennard–or the cop puncher as he's now known–will be something to keep an eye on. He has the talent, and if anyone can get his head straight it will be the hooded czar. While I'm not in love with most of the Patriots picks after round one, this Bills fan knows not to doubt those bastards from New England.

Group counselling
Group counselling is a form of therapy where people with similar experiences/issues come together with a professional therapist.
The therapist runs the session, but generally everyone contributes in some way, listening to others and talking themselves. It's usually focused on a particular issue, like:
- addiction
- bereavement
- eating disorders
- depression.
One of the main principals behind group counselling is that meeting other people who are dealing with something similar and hearing their story lets people know that they're not alone. Things like depression or bereavement can be really isolating and make you feel like you're facing the world alone. Group counselling can be a good way of getting over those feelings of isolation, and realising there are other people in the same boat.
It can also be easier to talk to people who share the same issue. They can understand how you feel a bit more than family members or friends who haven't had firsthand experience of the problem you're dealing with.
How it works
There are lots of different types of group therapy. Some groups are more structured, and are based around doing an activity or project together, team-building and even physical games. Some are more freeform, more like meetings where people have conversations about how they're doing and listen to others.
Some have a set number of sessions, and others are drop-in groups that you can attend if and when you need to.
Is it for you?
Group therapy is something your counsellor might suggest to you, depending on what you're dealing with. It's not for everyone, and the idea that might make you nervous, but it can be worth giving it a go and seeing if you find it helpful.
For information on group counselling services, talk to your GP or counsellor, check the Golden Pages or look in the Counselling Directory. It might be best to ring a counselling service and see if they offer group sessions. For more on individual therapy, read counselling.

Hi Hami,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
We're based in Ireland, so we're not too familiar with support services in Kashmir. Generally the best thing to do is to talk to someone you trust, like a friend or family member, about how you are feeling. It's good to be able to talk things through and share how we feel with people we trust. It can be a start to making us feel better and finding ways of coping with how we are feeling.
If possible, we would encourage you to talk to your local doctor. Doctors deal with all sorts of health problems, including mental health problems. Your doctor should be able to give you information about ways of coping and working through OCD. Your doctor should also be able to let you know if there are any counselling services available to you.
We also have information about dealing with OCD on ReachOut.com. You can check it out here. Things like writing down how you are feeling in a journal and exercising can help.
With some support from our family, friends and our doctor it is possible to overcome mental health problems so we would encourage you to talk and share how you are feeling with them.
We hope this information helps Hami
Take care,
Fenella -

Hi Naomi,
Sounds like there's a lot going in for you and group therapy could be a really good, safe space to open up and discuss what you've been through and how you're feeling.
Aware run support groups http://www.aware.ie/ or Grow http://www.grow.ie/. Also http://www.counsellingdirectory.ie/ might be able to give you information about counsellors who facilitate group therapy.If you do decide to talk to an individual counsellor, they might be able to recommend some local support groups for you.
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre host a freephone number on 1800 77 88 88 for support that you can call at any time to talk to someone about sexual abuse in your past. The centre itself hosts group counselling, for more information see http://www.drcc.ie/get-help-and-information/group-counselling/.
Its a really positive step that you are seeking help and whether you decide to talk to someone individually, join a support group or do both, we hope you get the support you deserve to help you cope with what you're going through.
Naoise -
Hi, I was diagnosed with 'dissociative identity disorder' over 5yrs ago, and have struggled to cope the the illness. I am also a survivor of sexual abuse and have experience psyhosis. I am looking for group therapy.
Thanking you

Born in concept form as the GST--for Grand Sport Tourer--Mercedes brought its supersized luxury crossover to market largely unchanged from the show car as the new-for-2006 R-Class. Now dubbed a "Sport Tourer," the Alabama-built R-Class shares platform basics and about 35 percent of its hardware with the equally new M-Class, including V-6 and V-8 engines and all-wheel drive. From there, this unique 2+2+2 seater treads its own path into an emerging segment that lies somewhere between, yet beyond, station wagon and SUV.
As long as an S-Class but with four more inches of wheelbase, the R-Class has a unique visual presence based on a dynamic wedge shape that yields a remarkably low 0.31-0.32 coefficient of drag. The look expands upon contemporary M-B sedan/coupe cues with boldly contoured front/rear fascias, a sweeping laid-back windshield, well-defined shoulder lines, radiused wheel arches, and four large doors. The R350 wraps its 16-inch alloy wheels with H-Rated 235/65 all-season tires, while the R500 carries V-rated 255/55 all-season rubber on 17-inch aluminum rims.
Style, space, and civility are cornerstones of the R-Class experience. The M-Class shares tubular brightwork housings for the main instruments, a four-spoke leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, and the center stack layout -- home to a standard COMAND system, dual-zone climate control and an 80-watt AM/FM/CD/Weatherband audio package -- but both the R350 and R500 have a look and feel that speaks a more overtly upscale design language. Hand-polished wood, hand-fitted leather seating inserts, well-formed front buckets with a powered driver's perch, and numerous other power assists, plus cruise control highlight the common luxo touches. A locking glovebox, covered dual-plane center storage, door pockets, four quite usable cupholders, and three 12V power points head the utility list. At R500 level, a six-disc in-dash CD changer, dual power seats/mirror memory, power adjustment for the tilt/telescoping steering column, and Tele Aid also join the mix.
Like most places, the front-row seats really are the best in the house. But with 64 percent of R-Class interior volume devoted to passenger space, average-sized adults can travel comfortably in tier two or even three. Mercedes claims the 2+2+2 layout provides legroom (and headroom for that matter) in S-Class/E-Class/C-Class quanta, respectively. The second-row buckets offer four inches of fore/aft adjustability while the third row 50/50-split bench is fixed, but folds/reclines. Long rear-side doors and flip-and-slide row-two seats simplify access/egress to the innermost sanctum, with or without the optional rear center console. All four rear seats can be easily -- and individually -- transitioned into a flat floor, raising cargo capacity from a modest 15.2 cu ft to a cavernous 85.0 total. The single-piece tailgate with a large bumper-level cutout simplifies loading.

When VOICES was created in 2001, our mission was simple - to create an organization that would provide information and support services to all those impacted by 9/11 and to ensure our country was safer by preventing another terrorist attack. Thanks to the support and generosity of our donors over the past decade, Voices of September 11th is nationally recognized for its innovative approach to providing a wide range of support services that promote resiliency in the lives of families, responders and survivors.
The organization provides programs for over 16,000 members living in the United States and abroad. In 2006, VOICES launched the 9/11 Living Memorial Project to help families and survivors commemorate the nearly 3,000 lives lost and to document stories of survivors. Today, the Living Memorial is an extensive collection of over 70,000 photographs and personal keepsakes, that will be a core component of the exhibits at the 9/11 Museum in NYC.
Recent acts of mass violence and natural disasters have underscored the need for communities to be better prepared. In 2014, VOICES will launch a Resource Kit and a comprehensive program to assist communities in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from incidents of mass violence or natural disasters. The recommendations are based on lessons learned from the response to the attacks on September 11th, the Oklahoma City bombing and the shootings at Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University and Tucson, Arizona.
Looking ahead, VOICES is committed to helping families and communities heal after tragedies. By sharing our lessons learned in working with victims' families and survivors for the past 12 years, we will help promote resiliency in the lives of families and communities impacted by other tragedies.
We are grateful for your continued support. It is vital as VOICES continues to provide services that meet the ongoing needs of families, rescue workers and survivors as well as families and communities recovering from incidents of mass violence or natural disasters.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: MylesDate: Thursday, 21 January 1999, at 2:00 a.m.
In Response To: Type O athletes/vegans (Andrea)
Hurray Andrea!
I naturally found my way out of the vegetarian maze even before I happened upon ER4YT. The last 4 years were macrobiotic and I was losing muscle mass after heavy work-outs. Eating meat was a gradual process and this diet helped to push me into areas I thought were impossible: I acutally have those illusive washboard abs now, and that's after 20+ years of heavy exercising and dieting. My bodyfat remains at 8% with really no effort whatsoever. Over the summer, I pushed a litle and got down to 6% and was really ripped.
I had a vegan friend visit for a week last month and in sympathy ate the same food he did. Even though I was very careful to stay away from the avoids, I really felt terrible by the end of the week: My energy levels weren't stable, I wasn't recovering from my workouts and I looked all bloated.
The lesson here is that my O body does best on meat protein sources. So if I feel good ( and look good) most of the time, why fight it?

James Bond's Casino Royale
On Delancy Street in Nassau, the yellow mansion of the now-closed Buena Vista Hotel served as the exterior for the Madagascan Embassy in the film. On the southwest side of New Providence Island, about 25km from Nassau, is the pretty seaside resort community of Albany, named after the Albany House, a pink colonial mansion once owned by Jean Chalopin, the creator of an animated Bond bastardization, the bumbling hero Inspector Gadget. The building also serves as the home of the villain Dimitrios in Casino Royale.
Albany is a private community, but its hotel is open to the public and guests may dine inside the mansion, at the restaurant Aviva. A few miles away, Coral Harbour Beach is where Bond emerges from the water, reminiscent of Ursula Andress, the first Bond girl, from Dr No.
Venice, Italy
Although the famously beautiful and romantic canalled city has appeared in From Russia With Love and Moonraker, Bond's arrival in Casino Royale, sailing on a 54ft yacht along the Grand Canal, is arguably the most stylish, filmed in an epic sweeping shot. The ship travels between the Accademia and Rialto bridges, and there are other Venetian landmarks in the film, like St Mark's Square. But the most memorable location (spoiler alert) is the collapsing palace where Vesper meets her end, locked in an elevator as the building sinks into the Grand Canal. The building in the film, the 17th-century Palazzo Pisani Moretta, did not really sink (that was recreated in a sound stage), and it is closed to the public except for special events like its annual masquerade ball Il Ballo del Doge, held during Carnevale in March or February.
Lake Como, Italy
One of refreshing aspects of Craig's reboot is the realism it brought the franchise -- at least in comparison to the cheesy jokes, comic book villains and baffling plans of world domination in earlier films. More in keeping with the plot lines of the Fleming novels, this new cinema Bond is a flawed (if stylish) hero who is severely brutalized, both physically and emotionally. But when it comes time for his convalescence, he still gets a luxury view: the stunning terraced gardens of Villa del Balbianello, an Italian villa on the western shore of Lake Como near the village of Lenno. The spot, open for tours, is so lovely it was also the wedding venue for Anakin Skywalker and Princess Amidala in Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones.
And if you want to really take it to a luxury level fitting the Bond motif, consider renting out one of the rooms in the lakeside Villa La Gaeta, a stunning castellated private home with its own beach near Menaggio on Lake Como. It is here that Casino Royale ends, with Bond tracking down the elusive mastermind Mr White, shooting him in the leg and then introducing himself. "The name is Bond, James Bond."

Many people hear smartphone geeks throwing around terminology that they seem to think everyone understands, and yet most people are left totally baffled. This is something of which I, myself, am guilty--on a daily basis, even! The biggest term that you may have heard being thrown around on cell phone blogs, or news sites, or forums, is "Rooting." What does that mean, and why would you ever want to do something to your phone that sounds like the horrible torture your mother used to inflict on unsuspecting weeds in the garden? That's what we're going to discuss.
At its most basic, "rooting" is the term widely used among computer and cell phone technicians alike to refer to the process by which one gains access to the administrative commands and functions of an operating system.
If you're thinking, "Hey that's no help, I'm still confused," that's normal. Even a simple definition of rooting seems complex at first. What it means when you root an Android phone, is that you give yourself, rather than Sprint/Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T's software, the permission to act like the administrator of the phone. There are a ton of reasons why people want to do this--the biggest being either to install an updated version of the operating system, or to save battery life. The two more often than not go hand-in-hand.
There are other benefits of rooting, as well. When you gain access to administrative phone functions, it is simpler to freeze system processes that drain battery life. "V-Cast Music?" Verizon users probably have "Google Music" downloaded, or find the stock music player works just as well. "Sprint NFL Zone?" Thanks, Sprint, but I'm a 24-year-old female. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of this app, but I don't need it sucking up my battery life. Among the smartphone geek crowd, applications like these are referred to as "bloatware:" they do nothing but bloat the software by existing as unnecessary applications.
Having a rooted Android phone is also beneficial because there are several Android applications which are extremely useful and also require root menu access. "Titanium Backup" is my personal favorite of these. It allows you to back up all your applications with their data on a regular basis, so that if you do install a new version of the operating system, or if you have to factory reset your phone, you don't have to go back and start Angry Birds all over again from Level 1. (And trust me, I've been there. I've felt that pain.) Other applications allow you to uninstall bloatware entirely, and so on, and so forth, from basic functions to extremely technical on a level that even I fail to entirely understand.
But like Uncle Ben Parker said in Spider-Man: "With great power, comes great responsibility." Benefits of rooting an android phone to gain access to the functions and menus normally inaccessible to the typical cell phone user are many, but rooting is not a process that should be taken on halfheartedly. These benefits come at a cost-- almost all manufacturers' warranties become void once you root your phone. So, either be prepared to accept that, or learn how to "un-root" in case of an emergency.
Do plenty of research--there are a ton of sites with how-to videos and device-specific instructions, because no two phones are rooted the same way. Ask plenty of questions--never assume you know what you're doing, because it's the best way to end up with a phone that's as useful as a paperweight.
Those are the benefits of rooting, from a Geek-Femme who understands what you're going through.

Finally someone who actually explained it in simple terms. There are a lot of so called geeks and technicians out there and when they talk it is like they think everyone should understand what they are talking about and if you don't then you feel like they are saying you don't belong here. Also when they explain instructs its do this do that go here down load this upload that but you have no idea if you are suppose to do it on your computer or cell. Thanks again for actually explaining it.

Wonderful to read an answer to a technical/software question from a female "geek". Geeks all to often hide ignorance behind techno-speak; if you can't answer a question from a non-technical type in words he/she can understand, you are the one who is ignorant of the answer. Liked your "root" analogy- a root directory is to a directory as a root is to a plant.

Follow-Up Question
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't the slightest clue about rooting!!! I started doing some research and I found you...so awesome! Ok..my question is..does the cellphone have to be active?? Example- I have a galaxy s sprint 4G phone and don't think I'm never going to use Sprint's services again. I now have another company and was told that I could indeed flash the phone over but was not guaranteed full service and when was time to be upgraded the phone possibly don't function correctly so I have not done that as of yet. So now I do have this nice phone that I love so much which hasn't been connected for over a year and so was wondering if rooting would be of any use???

Hi there!
It is totally possible to root a phone that is not active, as long as you have a wireless connection to use for accessing the internet. The phone won't be able to make calls or access the internet without a wifi connection, but otherwise you'll be able to use all your favorite apps just fine.
Now, theoretically, if you're looking to use the phone on another provider, you wouldn't necessarily need to root it. If you deactivated it and closed your account with Sprint, you should be able to reactivate that phone on another provider, as long as they are a CDMA provider. CDMA providers, like Sprint and Verizon, operate using one kind of towers and cellular frequency, whereas GSM providers, like AT&T and T-Mobile, operate using a different type of towers and different frequencies. If you're confused, you can always ask the company if your phone will work on their services.
If there's any issue, you can always contact Sprint and ask them to make sure they released your phone's MEID or IMEI (which are the long numbers found under the battery on your phone) to be used on another provider. As long as your account was closed and has been paid off, they should have no real issue doing this. This allows your phone to be reactivated on another cellular provider's service.
Now as far as rooting your phone to use it on another provider goes, that shouldn't be a necessity at all. Rooting is mostly something that people do when they want to customize their phone further than just the cosmetics that are allowed by downloading apps like ADX Launcher. It's helpful if you want to install a version of Android that wasn't released for your device yet, or if you want to be able to use apps like Titanium Backup to save your progress in Angry Birds before factory resetting your phone. Once your phone is unlocked on the provider's side, which should be a simply process, you shouldn't have to worry about messing around with root at all. As much fun as rooting can be, it can also be very dangerous, and could potentially make your phone permanently unusable.
Fortunately, it seems like your situation doesn't require you to play around with rooting at all, because your best bet is to have a talk with Sprint to make sure they unlock your phone to be used on another provider. I hope that information helps!

You can do so many things with your phone now that it's rooted! SO MANY THINGS.
First and foremost, oh my god I cannot stress this enough, you want to download an app called "Titanium Backup," which is available from the Google Play store and will become your favorite thing in the entire world, I am not even kidding. Titanium Backup allows you to backup all your apps AND THEIR DATA, and then restore those files to the phone's memory. This is super important because a lot of custom ROMs will require you to totally wipe your phone before installing them, and it can be super frustrating to re-install all your apps and re-program all your wifi passwords back in. The restore options are super customizable, so the only precaution I'd offer is, if you do restore app data after an install, make sure that for any of the system files (contacts, settings, etc.), you only want to restore DATA and not the APP itself, because you don't want to override the system app that you just updated with your new ROM. Everything else is super easy. Honestly, I use Titanium Backup 99% of the time when I'm installing a new ROM to make sure I don't lose my progress in Angry Birds.
You can also look on forums like xda-developers for custom ROMs and such to install to your phone. The forums are divided up by specific devices so you can find the best information on what's available for your exact phone, because obviously options vary with every piece of hardware that's out there. Always, always, always familiarize yourself with anything that says "READ THIS FIRST", because there is usually a lot of valuable information for people like yourself who are new to having a rooted device and it can be super helpful.
ROMs range from very basic stock to very customized; some of them just strip out manufacturer and provider bloatware, and others change everything from sound effects to the look and feel of your phone's operating system. The installation process on these is fairly simple, but before you try to install a new ROM, make sure that you're comfortable doing stuff like booting your phone into recovery mode and navigating the menus there, because it'll be very difficult to install a new ROM if you can't do that.
Usually ROMs are provided with very detailed installation instructions, and it is very important that you follow them TO THE LETTER. If you don't, you could end up making your phone permanently unusable. The term for this is "bricking" because if it happens, your phone is basically as useful to you as an actual brick. It's sad when this happens. Follow ROM instructions so you don't have to ever know this pain. And make a backup with Titanium Backup in case your install goes bad and you have to factory reset. TRUST ME. I've had some very close calls in the past.
There are a host of other apps that require root to be used, some of which allow you to increase your phone's performance, use it for wireless tethering (be careful with this; some providers WILL notice the massive increase in data usage and you could end up getting charged a lot of money), emulate other operating systems, and more. Look around at some of them and see if they suit your fancy.
You've got a whole world of option available to you now. Explore a little, but always do your research before jumping in with both feet, and make sure you know how to unroot in case anything goes wrong and you have to take the phone back to the provider for assistance. Hopefully this helps!

I'm sure I'm behind the curve here, but me and my gaming buddy found Sting, Orcrist, and Glamdring. I used Thalin (to get rid of the crows), Eowyn, and Hama with Eagles. My friend (Couve_Timber) used Legolas, Beravor, and Frodo. We managed to find the Key and explore the cave one turn before killing the biggest troll. Felt great, so we moved on to the goblins, and got creamed. Anyone else find the treasure yet?

He's talking about We Must Away Ere Break of Day, the first quest in the Hobbit: Over Hill and Under Hill box. If you meet certain requirements above and beyond the actual victory requirements, you earn the right to include Treasure cards in your deck for other scenarios in that box and in On the Doorstep quests. They're great cards, too-- only catch is that you have to use the same group of heroes that you were using when you 'discovered' the treasures.

In "Signs of Our Faith," a Tapestry of Faith program
Participants take an active role in creating a congregational worship service.
Invite children to help plan and lead a worship service for all ages in the congregation. Use Handout 1, Common Worship Components for Children, and their experience in this session to identify the purpose of worship components. Lead the children to name UU rituals and talk about the purpose of the rituals. Invite the children to suggest rituals, songs, readings, and other ideas for each component and find a role for children in leading part of the worship service.
Be sure to include children in the actual worship service. Children who do not wish to be in the service may still enjoy working on the planning and being ushers or greeters. Make it clear that all of these roles are ways to be a worship leader.
For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
