Historic Bed and Breakfast in Hancock, New Hampshire
ROMANCE, RELAXATION AND HISTORY combine in the foothills of Mount Monadnock to make an unforgettable getaway at our B&B.
In continuous operation since 1789, the Hancock Inn is the state's oldest original inn and one of the oldest in New England. When it began offering accommodations and meals to travelers, George Washington was in the first year of his presidency and the Revolutionary War had ended just six years before.
Experience the best of a centuries-old tradition of hospitality, comfort, delicious food, and romance at this classic inn. Feel like you have stepped back in time to 18th century New England but, with all the modern conveniences of today. Fireplaces, antiques, and hand-painted murals are backdrops to this romantic setting.
The Hancock Inn remains true to its origin, filled with colonial-style furniture, antiques from New England and paintings and curios "of the period."

text: I've also considered ratpoison but it looks to be written by some emacs lovers. Not that I don't appreciate the reinitiation into hidden keyboard combinations every few months when I need it. Try udeproject http://udeproject.sf.net. The binary executable size is typically about 90kb. It does nothing but manage windows and allow for workspaces. The default colors and border definitions are ridiculously ugly. The config files allow for much more reasonable settings. The config file format isn't difficult to figure out. The config files allow for the execution of bash commands upon switching workspaces so you can change the background or add add whatever other functionality you may want in that sense. I like it because it is dependent only upon X libraries and integrates with almost nothing. If you want to build apps which will likely work in any possible environment (without being dependent upon lib$some_oddball_lib) ude is definitely the way to go. Most people rail on ude because debian's ude/uwm packages are broken. It's a learning curve. RTFM for 10 minutes. I've used blackbox on occasion. It's small, fast, light, tries to make a few things seamless. I'm currently using fluxbox while trying to build enlightenment. I like enlightenment because it doesn't try to become what gnome and kde are. It provides a framework for applets (epplets) but doesn't try to take over your system. esd is a fine sound daemon as well. Really I want to find a window manager that makes use of Xdamage for translucency. I found a few external Xapps which allow me to employ the drop shadows and change the translucency. The effects are quite nice looking but HOLY CATS is it slow on my system.

The real question should be, how many other Howard and "Buzzy" Krongards are imbedded throughout the Bushista appointed government that are still in the process of ripping off the U.S. taxpayer, but haven't, nor ever will be caught…?!
Howard Krongard's resignation is simply not enough. When a State Department IG gets caught lying or any any other high level official for that matter, they need to be indicted, stand trial, and hopefully get sent to Club Fed for a while. Both Bush and Cheney "must be" impeached too…!
Oh, I forgot it's the Christmas Holiday Season and Congress doesn't want to spoil their recess or shopping fun…

American Tourists View Shocking Lion Attack at Circus
AAAThe family's video of the attack, which occurred in the city of Lviv, was broadcast on "The Early Show" on CBS.
Circus lion tamer Oleksie Pinko is shown on the video trying to keep a lion a safe distance with a rod. But the animal roars, and lunges and strikes. And another lion joins in.
Doug Shepherd, who had brought his two kids to the circus, tells CBS News, "Kids are screaming, and kids are only 10 feet away and (my family was) probably 35 feet away."
His wife, Masha Shepherd, says she grabbed her daughter and started to run, because she thought the lions would leave the ring. In the video only a mesh net appears to protect the circus audience from the animals.
The trainer was bit on his arm and knocked to the ground. He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for emergency surgery, and was in stable condition, CBS reports.
This attack follows another recent incident where a lion went after its trainer at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, an incident also caught on video.
Doug Shepherd says he has seen "great performances" at the traditional circus on past visits, but that he may have a hard time convincing his family to go again.
Interestingly, the city of Lviv happens to be nicknamed "City of Lions" – named for a "Leo" and with the city symbol a lion.

Did anyone notice that the lion on the far end of the ring was suffering from cowardly-lion syndrome as he was just sitting there on his stool, with his back to the fight, trying desperately not see what was going on and just as desperately not to be seen?

October 05 2010 at 6:37 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyGood. Circuses are cruel to animals. Exotic animals should not be crammed ito tiny cages and traveling around almost constantly. And circur trainers use several questionable methods of negative reinforcemnet in order to get the animals to behave. Sounds like one animal finally had enough.
Anyone who supports circuses containing animals is also supporting a lifetime of abuse and cruelty for the animals.
A wild animal can NEVER be completely trained, even if raised from birth. These idiots should have realized what they were getting themselves into. Maybe now they'll think twice before trying to manipulate a wild animal.

I've been making wine from kits for about 5 years. It's all been RJ Spagnols, just because it's what I'm finding in the local shops. There haven't been any bad wines yet, all good to very good, but I want to try some different brands and I'm looking to order on line for more variety. I'm just wondering what your favorite brands are, what you've had the best results with. Suggestions for where to shop on line for best prices are also appreciated. Thanks
I like Winexpert, but they are slightly more 'fruit forward' than the RJ Spagnols kits I've made. I buy mine @ my LHBS!
It also seems like we should be telling you what we like. I like semi-sweet or sweet wines. I have only tried one kit; wineexperts green apple reisling, but it was pretty good. My only complaint was that the alcohol content is low (about 5 or 6 percent). Being a newbie, at the time, I just followed directions to the letter. Some people online have suggested adding half the fpac during fermentation, and I may have to do that if I try this kit again. Ps, the reason I say "if" I try it again is because I like to try new things, and my wife didn't care for the fact that it was a white wine. I would try it again, but I'll be trying several other things first.Having one carboy, and still being pretty new, I have been experimenting with juice wines, instead of kits.
I tend to alternate between red and white to try to keep a balanced inventory. And I like a lot of different wines. For whites, my favorites are sauv blanc and pinot grigio but I also like reisling, chardonnay, gewurtstraminer.... pretty much all of it. Reds- zinfandel, cabernet, malbec & chianti, along with various blends, are my go to's but, like whites, I drink it all. I tend to steer away from very tannic wines. Don't like them overly dry. Moderately dry to semi sweet. I am fairly patient with my wines too. I do a 3 stage fermentation over a period of anywhere from 3-6 months. After bottling, I generally wait 3 months before trying it and have enough of a collection that everything will get to be over a year old. So far I've made about a dozen wines. Don't know if all that is really of any help. Just wondering what are considered to be the better quality kits out there since I only have experience with one brand. Thanks for the input.
I have a Cellar Craft Showcase Cab in my glass as we speak, incredible! I have a CCS Sauv Blanc ready to bottle, last taste was fantastic. Maybe some of the cheaper kits are just as good, but @ $6 a bottle, it's such a deal that there's no reason to try something cheaper.
Give a man a beer, waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, and waste a lifetime! Bill Owen quote Join the Beacon Point (Aurora, CO) Brewclub on Facebook- casual, fun brewing, drinking, socializing!
Cellar Craft Showcase and En Primeur have been the best I've ever done. I do a mix of those super premium kits (they're very expensive!) and a mix of cheapies (Winexpert) and then some moderately priced ones. That way I've always got a good selection of decent to good to excellent wine in my cellar.
Drank too much?...Is that a thing?


text: What do you think is a good age to introduce your children to guns? Our oldest is a 3 year old and right now she's at the age where all I can do is tell her these are no-no's and put the fear of god into her, and she wont go near them. As a matter of fact she'll go hide by my wife when I have them out or are cleaning them. Thats all that they can understand at that age. But at what point should I really sit down and explain what they are, and more importantly at what age should I allow them to go to the range with me and shoot a bit?

This is a discussion on Kel-Tec anybody? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by ron8903 That was my story from cop stories thread. I knew I heard it on here I just can't remember who posts ...
My husband carries a kel-tec, in a hign noon IWB and it totally disappears. Liking how light and slim it was, I tried it out once, and loved it! Even in a pair of non belted capri's that lack a firm waist, it didn't pull them down. My shirt was a little tighter as well, and absolutely no printing! Definitely a shirt I can't wear when carrying my xd. I barely noticed it was there...unlike my xd9sc!
I've never used a smart carry, so I can't comment on that. Just make sure while that is the right set up for you, it needs to be the right set up for her.
I second the other posters recommending trying out the gun too! However, what I think would work best is getting the gun that is easier to conceal. No matter how easy or fun it is to shoot, if she can't conceal it, or it's really uncomfortable, she'll probably not carry it. If she's not handling it well, or it's not easy for her to shoot at first, she'll HAVE to practice, but just mix it up with a fun .22 to shoot. That way it's not drudgery learning to handle handguns. I think in the end, she'll end up with an easy concealing gun, that she can accurately shoot.
I wish I would have gotten something a little less bulky, even if it wasn't as fun to shoot. I carry it more than I shoot it. It is a temptation to snag my husbands gun everyday instead of mine since is sooo much lighter and easier to conceal! Good luck to both of you!

I love my PF9 too. It is what I carry most of the time. I'd rather carry my G23 but sometimes it's just too big. I have found that a Passport ankle rig works great for me. I have a Smart Carry also but I don't like it as much. It bulges when I sit and it would be almost impossible to draw while sitting in a car. Also I worry about the damage that thing would do if I were ever involved in a car crash. I know it should be placed below the seat belt, but who knows what position it will be in during a crash. Back to the PF9, it's a great little weapon for SD.

If you have the money - Rohrbaugh or a Seecamp 380, or wait for the Kahr P380. The PF is nice, if you get a good one, but not all that small. Yes it's thin, but boderline in overall size for pocket carry. My PF had some problems, so it's still in the doghouse until it proves itself.
But you get 9mm over 380. Yes you can get many 380s that are smaller - but if you can have a 9mm that is almost as easy to carry/conceal - then why not? Plus it fits the hands better than one of those tiny 380s.
I have PF9s and p3at. All have been reliable. Found if I dress right I can always pocket carry PF9. If the 380 gets carried it's as a BUG. After chronographing and wet pack testing bunches of jhps in 380 and 9mm, I came to conclusion if I ever got into "bad situation" I wanted at least a 9.

Branch Hours | |
SUN | Closed |
When PNC bought National City - I had no issues. My problem began when PNC migrated former National City customers to their system. I never received the original notification of the system change. I tried to pay online and my account was locked. No problem, called in to get it unlocked. Unfortunately, the CSR changed my password instead. I was able to get a second call in on the same day to unlock the account any pay my bill but I could not stop the process to change my password as the process was automated.
This was annoying but I could wait. When I went to pay my next bill, I still had not received the new password and it had to be reset again. I asked to be transferred to the pay by phone group but was told the wait time was too long for the CSR to stay on the line. I called several times in the next few days and could not make a payment online so I went to the local branch and they indicated that they could not take my credit card payment. I admittedly gave up and waited for the second new password. This arrived late and I missed a second payment by a day and my credit card was closed. All through this ordeal, I kept calling the Customer Service Center and received the usual
First, I just want to say that most people who post in these things have had issues with overdrawn accounts from their own mistakes, or are dealing with issues that come up in any bank (there are a lot of government regulation and practices that have to be followed) and these people tend to be angry from an isolated experience and want to vent.
I would like to just say that the PNC branch I go to in my neighborhood is wonderful. They all know my name, they are very friendly, and I call them when I have issues and they help me take care of things or answer questions for me. I am not unrealistic in my expectations, and am very pleased that they offer a rewards system for checking (Points) that most banks don't do anymore.
They don't charge me fees if I just overdraw my account a little (I think they girl said less than $5) and they do still offer free checking with no minimum balance and they don't charge for PNC atms, statements, or other little things. In fact, since I have a direct deposit into my checking I actually even get all my non-pnc atm fees refunded! I think I also get free checks on my account too. My bank before PNC charged me for everything. I have the virtual wallet account and it is much more interactive then my old bank's (Chase) online banking. I can also make deposits from my phone, which is very nice considering I travel a lot.
Overall, I think people need to remember that banks are a business, but some do it better than others. PNC doesn't nickle and dime me to death and they offer superior products like virtual wallet. I also know I can get help from my local branch really easily. I really appreciate that fact.
I am not a customer of PNC but my wife is. When she visited the local PNC branch to make a withdrawal I accompanied her because I had a mature US Savings Bond to cash in. She made her withdrawal but they would not redeem my bond because I was not a customer. My wife's name is on the bond as the POD name. When I die my wife can take the same bond back to the same bank and they will be happy to redeem it.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Tudou Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: TUDO) ("Tudou" or the "Company"), a leading online video company in China, announced today that it has entered into a program license agreement (the "Agreement") for the exclusive license of Japanese anime produced by TV Tokyo Corporation and TY Tokyo Medianet, Inc.

Shimada Masayuki, President of TV Tokyo commented, "This unprecedented, large-scale cooperation with China's leading online video company, Tudou, takes a groundbreaking approach to meeting the needs of the Chinese audience and providing an online video platform in China with high-quality Japanese anime content."
Tudou's animation channel combines a large number of Chinese and foreign animation series targeting China's large demographic of 14-30 year-old online animation enthusiasts. Tudou's cartoon channel broadcasts over 1,000 animation series, providing thousands of daily uploads and generating more than 10 million views per day. TV Tokyo is a leading Japanese TV broadcaster specializing in anime production. TV Tokyo's productions include global hits such as Pokemon, E.V.A., Hamtaro and Naruto.

I have recently posted pictures to our FB page, The Darfield Earthship. Both Chris and I have been busy working in Kamloops and also on the house with James Hornett's help. Very little time to sit down and do more than click buttons to upload photos. Chris has especially been wanting to post, but now that we are working on the planters, I think it will still be awhile before he gets around to it. We are noticing that this component is the most taxing on the mind and on us! See you on FB for the next little while. Sandra.
Moving forward
After much discussion Chris and I have come up with a plan to get the house jump-started again.
As many know, we have been consulting in Kamloops for several months. I've been almost full-time and Chris 2-3 times a week. It's been lucrative work. We didn't NEED to earn this money to finish the house, but while we were taking a "break" from the house it felt right to earn some money. It's been great. This week, though, I will begin training somebody to take over most of my duties at one of my clients' place of business and Chris' hours are also beginning to stabilize. We hope to work no more than two days a week in Kamloops and we hope to make them the same day to maximize fuel costs.
Having EXTRA cash has given us some options. And we've been throwing around ideas for several weeks. We've watched our friends, the Robinsons, finish their cob home on Vancouver Island in exactly a year. They did it by hiring some of the work out. The downside to this, is that they have a small mortgage. The upside is…they are now living in their house!
We have always stuck to our guns and did all the work ourselves to avoid taking on debt. Downside? We are still not in the house. Upside? No debt.
So we have been thinking about what work we would be prepared to hire out, if we were to do it. How much could we spend on outside labour without taking on debt? It came down not to which jobs we were prepared to hire out, but who would we be prepared to employ to move a few of those jobs along.
To that end, James Hornett, is going to become our paid employee for the three weeks leading up to August, when he flies to Japan, to hopefully bring back his wife, Asami, who has been waiting out the immigration process there since February. (Fortunately, she was 400 kms away from the tsunami.)
James was one of our very first volunteers in 2009, when he stayed nearly two weeks to help us. He's since come back several times to help out and we've found him thoughtful, helpful and a great worker. Since coming to BC from Newfoundland in 2009, James has been working in conventional construction in Vancouver. With his interest in sustainable building he is continually questioning conventional construction practices. James has also become a great friend of ours, and of my brother Tom and sister-in-law Stephanie, who have been luring him into Vancouver poker games and divesting him of small change. Check out our FB page, The Darfield Earthship, for James, who we recently added as an administrator (so that he could upload pics).
We're looking forward to having him back again starting next week. He was only just here last week getting us started on skylights and it was this that prompted us to think our plan just might work.
It's meant Chris and I have been scrambling to figure out the order of events, prepare for each job and accumulate materials. We have some cleaning to do, both in the shop (to organize tools) and the earthship (so that we can move around better in it). Not to mention (but I will) cleaning the house as we will all share one tiny bathroom, eating facilities and a tiny living room.
Jobs that we will start/finish include the rough-in of electrical. We will also start thinking about plumbing, including the planters. We have lists started and questions to answer before we move forward.
These include setting the floor height. We need to figure out how much space radiant floor heating will take up so that we can set finished floor height so we can set the electrical outlet heights and the planter heights. This will allow us to set the plumbing heights. We are madly researching in floor heating and perusing all new information on building planters on the many excellent earthship blogs out there. We expect to spend a whack of money in the next two weeks to accomplish all of this.
Anybody with any knowledge of these areas is welcome to wade into the discussion ASAP! Chris plans on posting a sketch of what we think the radiant floor heating might look like, so that we can set height. We will send an email out to a few of our friends who have recently installed such a floor (and covered it with an earthen floor).
Our plan coincided with the arrival of summer weather. As most of our work will be in the nice, cool earthship, I think this is pretty GOOD planning!
Where Did All the Pop Cans Go?
We've been robbed!
After months of collecting pop cans we had BAGS of cans squirreled away in our storage shed. When I popped my head in the shed yesterday to admire our collection I realized most of the cans were gone and there were just a few lonely bags left …
The culprit was not very far away. We finished the pop can form for the concrete bond beam on the front wall today. We estimate there are around 1600 cans in this form. Compared to pounding tires this is fairly easy work; it only took us a few days to lay this form, and it was not particularly strenuous. We used nine 40kg bags of portland cement to make the 80 foot long form. I am not convinced of the value of making the form this way instead of using lumber. In this case I did not want to use lumber and leave it in place due to proximity to the planters.
The concrete (or mortar) used for these pop can walls cannot have coarse aggregates (read rocks) as any rocks larger than about 1/2″ in diameter starts to get thicker than the mortar laid between the cans and weakens the wall. Consequently, we re-screened our aggregate using a mesh with 1/4″ spacing. We will have this same problem when plastering the walls … I see a lot of screened gravel in our future! The good news is that we started saving the rocks as we screened and we are now collecting rocks for the planters.
Before we finished the can form we had to lay the last twelve tires of the front wall. We did not lay these tires earlier as we needed to be able to drive the backhoe into the building. For the last two days we have been digging a trench inside the building along the front wall. Talk about a bull in a china shop! With the front wall built there was not a lot of room to manouever the backhoe and digging was a challenge. Fortunately I only struck walls with the bucket a couple of times and thank god they are earth filled tires … nothing broke! I have no idea why there are cracks in the pop can form though … maybe the kids were playing too close to it? Regardless, no serious damage and with the last tires in place we will not be getting the backhoe back into the building.
The trench is for the gray water planters along the front wall. We dug the trench in the approximate shape of the planters to a depth of two feet. The planters do not take up the entire front wall, but we wanted to lay pipes between them so that ultimately the planters all have the same level of gray water. Once we laid the connecting pipes (2″ black ABS) we buried the pipes so now only the planters are dug down. The pipes will enter the planters right near the bottom and guarantee that the level of water in all the planters is identical. In other words the pipes should prevent overly dry or swampy planters. Hopefully it will not rain significantly until the roof is on as I hope to leave these trenches until we start the gray water planters after the building is closed in.
Tomorrow we are getting more gravel … we've run out. Hopefully on Friday we will pour the bond beam on the front wall. After that we move on to the roof and framing the front wall.
NO MORE TIRES! It was hot the last couple of days we finished the front tire wall … the outside thermometer read over 30 degrees celcius yesterday. I am happy not to be pounding tires this summer!
We have 861 tires in the building … but who is counting?
I've added photos to the front wall gallery and created a planters gallery.

I heard a wailing so soft and low,
through the trees I spied an eerie glow.
As the night wore on 'twas louder yet,
I laid there silent, did moan and fret.
To what did the lonesome cry portend?
I shivered to think 'twas near the end.
Could the reaper of darkness be nigh?
My answer soon came from up on high.
"The men who dress in those long white robes,
who spread their lies all across this globe.
See there! Many who are dressed in red!
Their godless decrees fill men with dread.
But the one who holds that staff so tight,
the one who's conquered with all his might,
was he that someone for whom she wailed,
or will they all be unmasked, unveiled?"
The sound did fade as the dawn did break,
I turned on the news, barely awake.
Lo and behold! The city had fallen.
The faces of many had now grown sullen.
Never again will her voice ever rise.
Never again will she give out advice.
Never again will she preach for a price.
Never again...
Never again...
Never again...

[B]FINALLY[B] Went to test out my new CM 9 on my own. Today on my off day after I finished my work out at Gold's gym I decided why not go and see my old buddies at my local "indoor" range to test out my latest conquest. I am fond of my J frame. But I wanted a "pocket gun and back up "on duty" firearm to carry for life saving use when retention of my primary firearm is either in progress or a lost effort during a struggle. One of the realities of this job I love so much. Just recently an acquaintance I have known for years who works for the State Police in the area I have worked in for over seventeen years had a front seat struggle where the nut bag grabbed his firearm and had he not gotten his back up weapon and killed the attacker he would be in the dirt as he was still shot with his own duty weapon. This incident made me think twice about not taking advantage of carrying not just a knife as a back up weapon. Question was .380acp vs others..I never have liked that caliber. Both for performance or for the cost of the ammo which is the same cost as a box of 45acp ammo. The size of the majority of .380's is hard to ignore though. So when i was at our Police Discount store I handled the LCP Ruger the Keltec 3AT (CLASSIC model that Bill Ruger copied) the Sig P238 and the Kahr PM and CM 9mm. Not enough difference in dimensions for me to sacrifice not going with the 9mm. The CM price tag with my law enforcement discount at $417 also helped me make my decision. Being familiar with the quality of a Kahr firearm after previously owning a P40 for off-duty carry which i regrettably sold to a buddy I had no hesitation in grabbing up this CM 9. ANYWHO.......Today I ran down to our indoor range where on Wednesday's Cops can shoot for free but ofcourse you have to by their ammo. I used my own regular qualification targets and bought two hundred rounds of federal full metal jacket 115 grain ammo. I shot four relays or targets whichever you prefer. The first strand of fire was combat shooting. Shooting no less than two rounds at a time "double tap" and the majority of the time "three rounds" at a time as fast as I could as accurately as I could...half head half body center mass. First off the single sheet metal magazine that comes with the Kahr like many handguns to include even the by god expensive "Kimber" hand-guns was sheet metal ****...sharp edges and consistently you would have to re-seat the top round once you ejected the magazine out for admin loads to top off the firearm so you had seven rounds to shoot. This like I already mentioned is not that big of a deal. Of all the firearms I have the only out of the box handgun that comes with a pure quality magazine is Springfield Armory and Sig Sauer. Mecgar makes Sig's magazines for them but Springfield just does an excellent job with their XD models....BACK ON SUBJECT..The standard Kahr magazine served it's purpose as I had no problems related to performance during a single shot fired today.
The second relay of strand of fire was slower one shot at a time for accuracy. The CM shot point of aim point of impact. Dead on very tight groups and very impressive. THE RECOIL AND BLAST FACTOR that tend to cause shooter "flinch" a fact of life no matter how disciplined you think you may be over a period of a hundred rounds does effect the human body. Breathing of course and for me pushing forward as i bend my knees slightly improves this factor. In the case of the CM today it was NON-EXISTENT. Even with my big ape like meaty hands hanging well below the grip of this little rocket. I shot out the little circle as well to the right of the primary target, coincidentally we use the "Q" Targets for qual and since I am a Firearm's Instructor I always have an extra twenty of so in my truck.
The Third relay/strand of fire was back to fast combat shooting only this time i included my off-hand only and some off-hand or "weakhand" supported for those who don't know the ling for me It would be my left hand. In my field you should always try and master shooting with both hands in-case during a gunfight you loose the use of one.
The fourth and final fifty rounds of course was back to accuracy though I picked up the pace. The advantage to making the last relay accuracy related one at a time is by now the barrel was cooking hot" and I like to see how much if any the little pocket gun would loose accuracy when coming out of a cooking hot port...No accuracy was lost..tight groups as accurate as the human can put em down.
AWESOME LITTLE POCKET GUN....I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something they want to carry in their pocket or a purse to save their lives.
Now the next thing I need to do is find a place to order a bunch of magazines so my fingers don't get ripped to shreds trying to load and reload for a fifty round course using a six round sheet metal single magazine. The next time I use this little rocket will be to qualify with it at work to carry as a back up weapon..It will not "replace" my Jframe but it definitely fits better in my body armor where I need it. Digging a back up weapon out of your upper throat chest area during a struggle while trying to retain your duty weapon is easier to do than trying to get to an ankle holster...just my opinion..and the J frame is perfect for an ankle carry back up..
thank you

Description: Invited Panelists: Dr. H. Westley Clark, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., CAS, FASAM, Director, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), HHS; Dennis Wholey, Host, This is America with Dennis Wholey; Renee Gerger, Board Certified Diplomate, Gerger, Spivack and Associates; Gloria Elliott, Mental Health Director, La Clinica Del Pueblo Program Abstract: When one family member becomes dependent on alcohol or drugs, everyone is affected. In fact, experts refer to addiction as a family disease. Across the Nation, families are finding treatment—not only for the dependent member, but for the entire family unit. Still, making the transition from shame and denial to treatment and recovery is difficult. This program highlights the struggles of individuals and families in recovery and the successful strategies they use to begin the healing process and maintain sobriety. It also will provide insights into conducting successful interventions and provide helpful tips for children, parents, grandparents, and caregivers for dealing with addiction in the family.
Host: Ivette Torres, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

The government has decided to slash the international incoming call rates by 50 percent to 1.5 cents a minute on a test basis for the next six months to discourage illegal call trafficking.
An official of the Prime Minister's Office said the proposal, which was put forward by the telecom regulator several months ago, was approved by the premier on Thursday.
Sunil Kanti Bose, chairman of the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, said: "We want to slash the call rates to examine the legal call flows. We will review the rates after six months."
As the matter involves a big amount of revenue, the proposal was forwarded to the prime minister. Due to the cuts in the call rates, the government may lose hundreds of crores of taka initially, but earnings will increase later once legal calls begin to go up, another BTRC official said.
Since 2008 the regulator has changed the international incoming call rates five times, with the latest proposal coming in July last year.
Currently, some telecom service providers including international gateways carry overseas calls through illegal channels using the voice over internet protocol (VoIP) technology.
The government gets 51.75 percent revenue from the incoming international calls, but it will go down to 40 percent once the new rates come into effect.
The rest of the revenues are distributed among international gateways (IGW), telecom operators and interconnection exchanges (ICX).
IGWs transport international calls, while ICXs connect different telecom service providers. If any call comes to the country bypassing the IGW- ICX route, it becomes illegal and the government does not get any revenue.
The telecom operators have accepted the matter positively, but some IGW operators said the move will not reduce illegal international calls.
In January, the Association of Mobile Telecom Operators of Bangladesh wrote a letter to the telecom ministry to reduce the international incoming call rates from 3 cents to 1.5 cents as most illegal VoIP calls cost between 1.5 cents and 2 cents.
Mir Nasir Hossain, managing director of Mir Telecom, an IGW operator, had told The Daily Star earlier that it has become tough to make profits as many new IGWs are in operation.
The situation will be more challenging when the call rates will be reduced, he added.
Currently, there are 29 IGWs in the country though nine are inactive as they could not pay revenue worth around Tk 500 crore to the government, or do not want to continue the business. The regulator is also in a process to cancel 4-5 licences.

Health Unit Coordinator Training, Degree and Course Info
Health unit coordinators, also called unit secretaries or ward clerks, perform administrative tasks in healthcare facilities, including coordinating patient activities, managing inventory, maintaining documents and prepping patient charts. They may also work directly with patients, taking vital signs. Certificate programs offer formal training in the field. Read on to learn about common courses, professional certification and the employment outlook, including salary projections.
Essential Information
A Health Unit Coordinator Certificate program prepares students for entry-level positions as clerical workers in medical environments such as hospitals and physicians' offices, as well as outpatient and long-term care facilities. In these short programs, students learn management and administrative procedures for healthcare facilities, as well as basic patient care techniques. The program is often split between classroom lectures and on-site clinical work. Programs commonly are offered by vocational schools and community colleges.
Education Prerequisites
Basic prerequisites like a GED or high school diploma are typically the only requirements for admission. However, high school classes in biology, algebra and data processing may be helpful, and some programs may prefer individuals to have CPR certification.
Program Coursework
The health unit coordinator certificate program typically includes 5-6 classes and may last a few weeks or one semester. Students learn to process doctors' orders, order supplies, use computer programs common in the industry and act as a liaison between patients and other medical staff. Common course topics include:

The BLS also reported that medical secretaries, including health unit coordinators, earned an average annual salary of $32,670 as of May 2012.
Certification and Continuing Education Information
Health unit coordinators may choose to earn voluntary certification from the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators to become a Certified Health Unit Coordinator (CHUC). Certification requires passing an examination that tests both knowledge and skills. The certification lasts for three years, and professionals must complete 36 hours of continuing education to meet recertification standards.

Intelligentsia Restaurant Review: Intelligentsia founder Doug Zell opened his first Los Angeles coffeehouse at Sunset Junction in August 2007. Silver Lakers quickly embraced the Chicago company's sustainable approach. The covered patio is painted an earthy red, framed by twin arches and brickwork, while the glass-fronted interior houses a classic L-shaped coffee bar. Baristas make every drink to order, either from deluxe Clover brewing machines or custom-built Synesso espresso machines. Countertop blackboards list the day's selection of single origin coffees. Melon White, Jasmine Silver Needles and Iron Goddess of Mercy highlight the loose-leaf tea menu. Intelligentsia partnered with Eric Kayser's Breadbar for croissants and baguettes and with Delilah Bakery for muffins, cookies and scones. |

Updated with photos: Pigeon Forge police chief fires 3 officers who discussed killing other officers
PIGEON FORGE — Pigeon Forge Police Chief Jack Baldwin said today that he fired three officers who were caught on an in-cruiser video discussing the killing of other officers.
Dismissed on Monday were Trinity R. Brown, Jefferson Thigpen and Michael L. Musgrove, according to a news release Baldwin read in a news conference at Pigeon Forge City Hall.
Baldwin said they were fired for conduct incompatible with continued employment.
Baldwin said a June 7 video of the officers discussing the killing of other officers was uncovered, which led Baldwin to suspend them on June 19.
That led to subsequent investigations by the Sevier County District Attorney General's and the U.S. Attorney's offices, Baldwin said.
Although criminal charges were not brought, the officers were fired to ensure the stability and cohesion of the force, he said.
"Officers must know every officer supports them," the chief said.
Brown was hired in 1999, Thigpen in 2005 and Musgrove in 2009.
More details as they develop online and in Wednesday's News Sentinel.

Michelle Obama's go-to designer for the inaugural will be celebrated by The American Folk Art Museum at a July 22 benefit at trustee Stephen Corelli's TriBeCa pad. Meanwhile, "Isabel Toledo: Fashion From the Inside Out" has been reeling in the crowds even on Saturdays and Tuesday afternoons, which are not exactly prime time for museum outings in the summer. Many are in search of the showstopper — the First Lady's lemongrass-hued ensemble that Toledo designed. "It's like Mecca.

Already big improvement in velocity... thanks!
Difficulties with The D-Word? If you can't find the right answers on our Help page, please post in this topic. Ideas for future D-Word releases or projects can be posted here as well.
Go Speed Racer!
Already big improvement in velocity... thanks!
Turns out it takes a bit longer for some people to get back on... This is because the new server for d-word.com needs to be propagated around the net first. No need to worry, and nothing has been lost! Good night...
I haven't been able to connect at all today..Still can't through my own access point.
I'm borrowing a neighbour's wifi in order to write this. Weird.
don't know if this relates to you, joe, but when i typed in "d-word.com", all i got was a page that said "It Works!" when i typed in "www.d-word.com", then i got in without any problem...
If you're having trouble with DNS propagation (meaning you can't access d-word.com or www.d-word.com), you can try changing your computer's DNS servers.
Try OpenDNS for a free alternative to your ISP's DNS:
Hi, I have noticed that other people have more than one URL listed under website on their profile. I too have several URLs that I think would interest the community. How can I do this?
There's a field "Other website" when you're editing your profile.
Also, you can just put URLs into your bio.
I don't get that field – is it only for members? I'm planning to apply to be a member, but wanted to get my profile together first.
I don't actually know... but I can assure you that the number of websites won't determine eligibility for membership... :-)
In reply to Christopher Wong's post on Tue 13 May 2008 :
Yeah, I had the same experience as you, with the "It Works!" page. Likewise, I eventually typed in the complete URL and got in. Just out of curiosity, what was that page anyway?
I'm still getting occasional "bad response from server" messages and the pages are often very slow to load. Will look into Opendns.com...
Appears that problem is fixed, Mikal. I had it, too. Peter will come on sometime soon and explain. Anyway, the pages should load now with lightening speed.
minor loading issues here this morning – just letting you know. Some threads worked well and some not at all.. All fine this evening.
Doug, you know, the funny thing is that just after I made that last post, I couldn't get in at all. I had wanted to add a thank you note to Peter and the hosts for keeping this great site together. So, there, thanks!
P.S., seems to be working fine for me now. Yes, "It Works!" indeed.
All should be ironed out now. Technical details hidden below:
I won't pretend to understand all that technical stuff just extend my thanks to someone who obviously does. Thanks Peter.
One of which seems to have built a web in the little bit of code that resets the already-read topic lists when I click on Topics. Was that clear? Here: I read the new posts in a topic, click Topics, but when the Topics page comes up, the topic I just looked at still has the circle with the number of unread posts in it. Just so you know...
I found out that the Skype extension for Firefox (at least on Win XP) plays havoc with a number of websites, including The D-Word. For example, I couldn't open image attachments. Disabling the extension fixed my problems.
Anyone know where, in Seattle, on a Saturday afternoon (for an out of town Monday a.m. shoot, so we need by Sunday), one can get an XD Cam disk? have tried all the usual suspects (companies) to no avail. Thanks...
Next time, please post in Public Classifieds . This Help topic is about The D-Word itself.
Humbly accepted. Believe me, having to play a topic cop here works against my nature. If I wasn't a bloody co-host, I would get sidetracked all the time. Like, I could really start one of my XDCAM rants now... I learned to hate the cameras, so I really hope you didn't find that disk. ;-)
I don't understand how the posting works on this site. It's impossible to follow any thread or specific question. It's just one giant heap of responses, but how do I track those responses to the original question? The main topic page is well organized, but if I go to any section, all I see is hundreds of pages of responses with no way to find any of the information I'm looking for. If I'm using the site incorrectly, please advise.
try the search engine, zack. and, yes, obviously this place works better for those who come here regularly and participate in the discussions.
Apologies to everyone for the site being down most of past 24 hours. Peter will hopefully have an explanation soon, and we'll do what we can to find a more stable web hosting situation.
Hi Doug,
This is Vincent Ochen, Hope all is well.
I have embarked on reserching on Vanishing African tribes, its the loss of culture which is a principle cause of this.
lets hope a commercial TV station can help put into reel.
Kind Regards,
Fingers crosed, Vincent. But this is the Help topic. Anything you need help with?
I tried to search d-word with "exclusive + contracts + subjects" and it did one that brought up any of the words instead of posts that contained all of the words. Is there another way to do this?
Mark, you need to not have spaces between your plus signs. When I did that, however, it brought up no posts with all those words, so you may wish to try some other word combinations.
The search algorithm uses a natural language search, so adding "+" won't do anything. You can search for a phrase by putting it in "quotes" or you can just search for a few words and it will do its best to find relevant results. They come in order of relevance so if there are any posts with all 3 words they should be nearer the top.
Peter, can you add these instructions to the formatting drop-down, please? Perhaps others, like me, will forget about using quotation marks when they need to connect the words. I had tried the + a few weeks ago too. .
Not sure what "formatting drop-down" you're talking about, but we could add a few lines about searching in our Help section or directly on the Search page.
She's referring to the small blue circle with the question mark inside at the top right hand side of the post window. You click it and a window titled 'formatting' drops down.
Well, that's for formatting your posts. It would be the wrong place to put information on searching.
For the meantime, just remember that it's the same as with Google: phrases need quotation marks.
That's what I meant Nigel – or as you suggested Ben, a note in the advanced search spot at the top of the page.
I'm not sure which topic to use to post this info:
I have received an email from colleagues in Cuba about a fabulous small, independent festival there called the FESTIVAL DE CINE POBRE. The festival is held annually in the town of Gibara, in Oriente... and that town was absolutely destroyed by hurricane IKE. The festival organizers have sent an international call for assistance of any kind, addressed specifically to the international filmmaking community. I want to post this info somewhere on D-word so that perhaps we can brainstorm about fundraising to help out this festival, the filmmakers who run it, and the people of Gibara.
Please let me know if this is appropriate for D-Word, and if so, where to post it. Thanks!
Has anyone ever delivered to A&E? If so, can you email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, please? Thank you!!!
That's really a question for the Production or Marketing and Distribution topics. This topic here is for Help with using The D-Word.
I have just finished an MA course in documentary film making. I made my dissertation film in a prison in the UK. The prison director has praised the film but has said that she does not want the film to be show publicly.
What I would like to know is – can women in prison give consent if they sign release forms. Some of the women were mentally ill – does this mean the prison would have to sign the release form as their legal guardian.
I would appreciate any advice on this issue,
That's a question for the Mentoring Room . As I said just before, this topic is for help using The D-Word's software.
Is there any way I can retrieve a copy of my Submission to Become a D-Word Member? I haven't received a response yet, but either way, I just wanna keep it for my records. Is that possible?
You can access the information in your profile.
John has just responded and made you a member.

Small corner, same size as Canty, dont know much about him, is he worth trading up for , or do we stay still and take best player available..
No, he has talent. 5'9", long arms, fastest cb @ the combine. Covers everyone. Poor measurables in terms of height, build (i.e. skinny), but other than that probably the best CB in draft (in my humble opinion). I was told that StL was waivering on picking him up at 11. I would not move up that far as it would cost us our 52 & 86 (though we'd get some change back).
Hah, I was thinking the same thing. Oh, we need to see if he celebrates after giving up an 8 yard completion on 3rd and 6 when he delivers a big hit.

Shola Happy With 'Lamby Goal'
Despite making seven changes for the game, Alan Pardew saw his side inflict a first defeat in 17 games on Bordeaux ... lead by skipper Shola Ameobi.
Shola Ameobi: "We knew it would a tough game.
"They won their last match comfortably, and you could see they came here looking for a result.
"You could see they were a good side. The manager said before the game that he wanted us to take the game to them early on.
"They were a little bit shell-shocked the way we came out. We really took the game to them.
"It was like a breath of fresh air for us, because at times this season we haven't hit that top form.
"We were able to show we can play football, and to get that win was fantastic for our confidence.
"It bodes well for the squad. We had a couple of players missing, but the guys that came in didn't let themselves down.
"Yo (Yohan Cabaye) played a great ball out to Gabby, who threatened all night and is coming into a lot of form now with his pace and power.
"To be fair, if I'd missed that I wouldn't have shown my face at the end of the match!
"I couldn't have scored an easier goal, but it was a great team goal. I'm happy to get off the mark.
"You have Demba banging them in, and I want to get involved in that.
"The goal is a great for confidence."
