Safety & Preparedness for California.
We're here to help you and your loved ones stay safe around electricity. From what to do if there's a downed power line, to how to keep electric cords in good working order, to free service when trees are growing into overhead power lines, turn to us for help in keeping your family safe.
Downed Power Line? Call 911
Electricity can be dangerous. For safety's sake, always consider power lines live or energized, and never touch or approach a downed power line.Downed Power Line? Call 911 Learn More
Before You Dig, Call 811
Whether you're planting new trees and shrubs, or installing a new fence, give us a call before you dig. When you do, your underground utility lines will be marked for everyone's safety. This service is free and it's actually required by law.
Smarter Outlets Are Safer
Ground fault circuit interrupter outlets (GFCIs) are designed to protect against electric shock in kitchens, baths, and places where electricity can come into contact with water. They shut off electricity when needed—and can help save lives. Talk to your electrician to learn more.
Joining Forces for Safe Communities
We're working closely with local police, firefighters, and EMTs because public safety is our top priority. From electrical-safety training for first responders to a coordinated approach to information sharing, it's all about keeping our communities safe.
Emergency Preparedness
A disaster or emergency can happen at any time.Is your household ready?Emergency Preparedness Learn More
Upgrading Utility Poles
You may have seen crews in your neighborhood lately. We're inspecting poles, and repairing or replacing those that don't meet required standards. It's part of our ongoing investment in maintenance, safety and repair to ensure that we continue to deliver reliable electric service. Our pole-loading assessment takes about 30 minutes, and crews don't need to access your home or building. Four contractors are authorized to do this work: Cyient (formerly InfoTech), Utility Data Contractors (UDC), RDI Engineering, and IJUS. For your safety, each crew member carries an Edison-authorized identification badge.

Everett girls top Shorewood 55-46 in playoff opener
The Seagulls girls basketball team played much of its first 20 games without being at full strength. Tuesday night, however, Everett showed a glimpse of what it can be with all its players, defeating Shorewood 55-46 in a 3A Girls District 1 Tournament opener.
Guard Sidney Rielly scored 15 of her game-high 26 points in the second half to help lead the Seagulls, who advance to play Stanwood on at 8 p.m. on Friday in a winner-to-state semifinal. Shorewood meanwhile will play host Meadowdale at 7 p.m. on Friday in a loser-out game.
Everett coach John Low described Sidney Reilly as "kind of the cog that makes us go," and that was evident in the third quarter when she scored 10 points to help the Seagulls close the period on a 10-3 run and turn a tie score into a seven-point advantage.
"I think other people like Kiki (Harper) and Darian (Rielly, Sidney's sister) scoring points allows me more open opportunities to drive and shoot," Rielly said. "Feeding off my team's energy really got me going."
It wasn't just Sidney Rielly's effort that helped deliver the win, Low added. The Seagulls used basic basketball fundamentals.
"Rebounding (was the difference), I thought that we did a good job of limiting their second-chance, easy baskets," Low said.
The Seagulls out-rebounded the Thunderbirds 40-27. Everett post Rosie Sittauer grabbed 17 of those 40 rebounds.
Everett's defensive intensity stepped up in the second half as well. The Thunderbirds scored just 19 points after the break and Shorewood guard Masha Shtikel, who scored 34 points the last time the two teams played, was held to eight points in the second half and 17 for the game.
"The number one thing on our board was defense," Low said. "Defense wins this game. I thought defensively we did a good job of contesting some of their other players, but just really always trying to keep a body on Masha and not let her get free open looks to get going."
The Thunderbirds, who were at or near the top of the Wesco 3A South standings all season now find themselves in a position where they must win to keep their season alive.
"We put ourselves in a position now where if we don't bring the intensity we go home," Shorewood coach Nina Lowe said. "You have to think about the bad taste in our mouths right now and go back and not want to feel that feeling again."
While the Seagulls got down to basics to get the victory, it was those basic things that failed the Thunderbirds.
"Second-chance shots, points, hustle plays; (the Seagulls) wanted the ball more than we did," Lowe said. "And it was glaringly apparent that they were getting second-, third- and fourth-chance shots, and they were the ones crashing the boards. They were the ones getting easy looks. You play defense and you keep playing defense and you have a letdown like that and it's deflating, and it's difficult to keep coming back from that time and time again."

Agreed. Shame about those knees. And I'm not being sarcastic. It really is a shame, because his game was becoming deep.
mature as in somewhat passive/agressively agreeing with a reporter and hinting that playing with Kobe might have slowed his growth?
It probably did, and he was already off the team.
so? how's that any different then Howard? Lets not act as if Bynum never pouted on the court when he didn't get his touches and make passive/agressive comments about going down low to him

The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center is an idyllic retreat where playwrights, actors and puppeteers flock to focus on their art. There isn't much Internet service, and cell phone reception is a thing of mythical wonder. This lack of interconnectivity has created a tightly-knit community where creativity thrives. Over the 49 years of its existence, The O'Neill has acquired some much-loved traditions that are kept alive by the center's dedicated staff.

HAVELOCK— Jennie Beverly remembers the moment the American Military Spouses Choir stepped onto the stage to audition for the TV show "America's Got Talent" in Chicago.
"As soon as we announced who we were, the people were chanting 'USA' and all of this, and it was just a mind-blowing experience to feel all of the joy, the pride, the happiness that people felt," Beverly said.
The crowd hadn't even heard the group sing a note yet.
"It just made us very emotional and we got a standing ovation after the audition and we went straight through," Beverly said.
Beverly, a 27-year-old mother of two, is married to Staff Sgt. Byron Beverly, an MV-22 Osprey aviation mechanic at Marine Medium Tiltrotor Training Squadron 204 at New River.
Her husband is an 11-year Marine who has spent much of his career at Cherry Point before a recent transfer.
He said he and the couple's two young children have been sitting around the television to watch each performance.
"It's been pretty crazy really," he said. "Everyone gets real excited when they see her on TV. My son runs up to the TV and points her out. My daughter just kind of smiles at the TV and whatnot. It's just happiness seeing her go out and do something that she's always wanted to do."
He said he often hears his wife sing around the house, many times in the shower.
"She sounds pretty good. The acoustics in our bathroom are awesome," he said.
One of her biggest supporters is Havelock broker Brenda Wilson, of Keller Williams Realty.
"I just think that our whole town needs to be screaming and yelling for Jennie," Wilson said.
Wilson was the family's real estate agent when they bought their house in New Bern.
"She's like my second mother," Jennie Beverly said of Wilson. "If I ever need somebody to talk to, she's always there. Since I'm not from North Carolina — I'm from Ohio — she's always there if I need her."
The top prize in the TV show contest is $1 million, and the group is getting closer and closer. They are in the semifinals, and Jennie Beverly is just waiting for word when she will have to return to New York for the next level of competition.
She is one of three Eastern North Carolina military wives in the 37-member choir. Also members are Ashley Heaton, wife of Marine Cpl. Josh Heaton from Camp Lejeune, and Laurie Massie, wife of Navy Lt. Cmdr. Marc Massie, chaplain at New River.
Jennie Beverly said she was first invited to join the choir in May 2012, when she got the opportunity to sing at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
"It was originally supposed to be a one-time thing, but they saw that we were awesome wives and they decided to move on with it to keep us together, which was surprising because we weren't expecting it at all," she said. "We were just amazed that we got to perform at the Kennedy Center."
Jennie Beverly said that when the group finally got the chance to sing at their audition for the television show, it was a powerful version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" that brought down the house.
"It was amazing. It was like all of our dreams came true right then and there to be able to lift everyone's spirits with our voices and to let people know that we had voices too," she said. "It was emotional. It's very hard to keep it together, but it happens so quickly that you really don't have time to think about that moment. That 90 seconds goes by just like that. One minute, we're starting the song, and the next minute, it's over."
The four judges advanced the group, which next performed the hit song "Hero" at Radio City Music Hall on Aug. 7.
Jennie Beverly works as a pharmacist technician at Target in New Bern, where co-workers have been very supportive.
"They support me 100 percent," she said. "They are really excited about this next round. They want to make posters and hang them around. They want to wear badges. That's what they did when I went to New York for the live rounds when we sung 'Hero.' They made name badges that said 'Ask me why to vote for Jennie.' When I got back it was like I was a little celebrity."
She said she has not watched the show yet with her family.
"They've seen it. My son just thinks it's amazing. He's like 'Wow Mom. You're beautiful and you guys are awesome,'" she said. "I don't know of any way to explain it. It's just an incredible experience."
"America's Got Talent" airs at 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays on NBC.

|Small red potatoes are first baked, then sliced and tossed in a mayonnaise, vinegar and ranch dressing seasoning.
Cold Baked Potato SaladI've already shared my just-like-Mama's southern style no-frills simple potato salad but this one here is also a big favorite of mine. Initially, this was my attempt to duplicate a potato salad served at one of our local favorite barbecue hangouts, but since writing the recipe, they've changed their version which has no eggs, is much whiter in color and seems to be heavy in sour cream and mayonnaise.
Well, I really like this cold baked potato salad anyway, so I'll add it to my ever-growing group of potato salad recipes! Unlike my more traditional southern style potato salad, I prefer this one well chilled, so I do suggest making it up a day ahead if at all possible.
Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Cold Baked Potato Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 30 min |Inactive time: 2 hours | Yield: About 6 servings
- 3 pounds of red potatoes
- Olive oil to drizzle
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup of diced red onion
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 envelope Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 stalk (rib) of celery, chopped
- 3 hard cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
- Dried parsley, optional for garnish
Preheat over to 475 degrees F. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and bake until cooked but still firm - about 30 minutes. Cooking times as always are approximate, as ovens vary, so test with a fork to see if they are tender. Remove, set aside and let cool. Fry the bacon until it is crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, ranch dressing mix, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper until well blended. Scoot the dressing mixture to the side. If potatoes are larger, quarter, then slice into 1/4 inch slices and add to the other side of the bowl. Chop the bacon and sprinkle over the potatoes. Add the onion, celery and eggs; gently toss to draw in the dressing, turning to mix well.
Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Variation: Substitute J&D's bacon ranch dressing mix for the Hidden Valley Ranch mix.

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

I'm voting for "some other resolution entirely", because I'm hoping either QFHD (4K, 3840x2160) or UHD (8K, 7680x4320) will start being mass-manufactured on a large enough scale to drive down costs on high-resolution computer monitors. I'm earning a (-1, redundant) mod here, but it bugs me that ever since 1080p HDTVs (FHD) came out I could get 1920x1080 monitors for dirt cheap, but a second monitor to match my WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor is more expensive due to economies of scale.
Personally, I don't mind too much a 16:9 ratio, I just want more pixels on screen. So my new years' wish is that the marketers are successful at scamming the TV-buying populace into upgrading to 2x or 4x their current resolution so my next monitor upgrade will be both cheap and an upgrade...

About Dave Alvin
Alvin a champion of Americana music (Updated January 3, 2013)
Guitarist, singer and songwriter Dave Alvin has been a member of America's roots rock scene since the early 1980's, and is a former member of the Blasters, X, and the Knitters. Despite having never garnered a rabid and enthusiastic fan base as a solo artist, he is one of the most respected champions of Americana music of this generation.
Alvin's love of music comes from his childhood, and with his older brother Phil became enamored with blues, rockabilly and vintage country music. They helped form the Blasters in 1979, and the band developed somewhat of a cult following in the United States and Europe. As a side project, Dave Alvin began playing with the Knitters and another goth-punk outfit called the Flesh Eaters. Shortly after leaving the Blasters, he joined X as lead guitarist.
It was 1987 when Alvin released his first solo album, "Romeo's Escape." The project was critically well received, but a commercial failure. He had more success writing songs for other artists, and in 1989 scored a hit when Dwight Yoakam recorded "Long White Cadillac." Alvin was later recognized for his 1994 acoustic album, "King of California," and in 2000 for "Public Domain: Songs from the Wild Land," which earned him a Grammy award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
In 2011, Alvin released "Eleven Eleven," marking his return to rock. He'll hit the road in 2013, with at least 16 dates scheduled between January and June. The "Dave Alvin and The Guilty Ones" tour kickes off January 5 at the 3rd Annual Beat Farmers Hootenanny in Solana Beach, California.

No doubt. If the ref gets a call correct he has not improved the game, but when he gets the call wrong he has diminished its outcome and the work of the athletes. Bad calls are not intentional like fan interference, point shaving or PEDs, but the game is no less harmed.

But that would take all of the fun out of it! Just think of all of the poor sportscasters and radio hosts who would be out of work after people stop calling their seemingly endless shows to start idiotic debates about one bad decision in a 3 hour event of professional entertainment the day before...
And think of all the extra ad time that's lost when you're not waiting on reviews.
This would be great for ball position calls but those are not the only calls made by referees. For example in hockey there is a penalty for elbowing. On the surface it may look like a normal body check. To tell the difference takes judgement and I doubt the computers are very good at that kind of judgement yet.

I always wanted them to do this for gymnastics/ice skating/diving at the olympics and such - the subjective nature of the judging for these sports leads to all sorts of controversy.
They could require the athletes to wear sensors, or just stickers of some kind on their joints and then have the computer judge how close their movements come to the "ideal" movements for their size of frame.

I'd rather have sports that are worth going to a place to play than just something else on TV. Something to get personally involved in that can have an elimination table from the couple people in a gym in some rural area to the final championships. That way, virtually anyone in a country or the world can end up a champion in it... or at least go far enough to get some prestige. Perhaps have a round-robin system at the ends in a region rather than single/double elimination so one goof doesn't mean the end
Umm. Nothing is stopping you from joining one of the literally MILLIONS of recreational leagues in hundreds of different sports around the country. You can find leagues for everyone from semi-pro to beginner, preschoolers to seniors, men's, women's or co-ed leagues, intro training classes, etc.
Some of them are organized in a way that you can go to national championships (usually only at the highest levels of leagues, of course). But most participants don't even *care* about something like that, the point is in playing and having fun, not "ending up a champion".

In the insular world of American sports isn't that as far as most sports are organised? Reminds me of the quote by John Cleese:
The three differences between American and British people:
- We speak English and you don't.
- When we hold a World Championship for a particular sport, we invite teams from other countries to play, as well.
- When you meet the head of state in Great Britain, you only have to go down on one knee.
No, the whole POINT is we weren't talking about professional sports, but "recreational" (ie. amateur) leagues. The ice hockey, soccer, or softball leagues I have played in sure don't lead to national championships. We may get a silly trophy or a case of beer, but it's mostly about the fun of it and maybe bit of bragging rights for the season.
Oh, and another difference between Americans and British that actually *relates* to the topic of amateur/recreational sports: girls are actually encouraged as much as
Girls are encouraged in Britain, from a young age. My primary school had field hockey, netball, football and cross country running teams for girls, and secondary school had hockey, netball, football, athletics and (I think) swimming.
I think the problem is most girls lose interest at about 15-16. How does the US maintain interest? (Also, American films suggest all high school girls are cheerleaders.)

And what do those spectators in the stadiums do?
They get off their chairs and jump, wave their arms, cheer, shout, dance, and generally move about a lot. That's definitely sport, even if it's not all too organised. The people down on the court are just an excuse for being there.
That's the difference between playing a sport and watching it. Watching it is good for entertainment and social. Playing a sport is good for health, entertainment and social.

The NFL is, legally speaking, a not-for-profit, charitable organization. [usatoday.com]
Here is a way to do that. All players are armed with any weapons they want, and they can be used at any time, for any reason, without any penalty. Spectators would NOT BE protected by any bullet-proof shields. OK, I know you are thinking we should arm the spectators too, but that would be crazy.

So much economic illiteracy in one post. Resources cannot be arbitrarily reallocated with no side effects. You are not smarter than everyone else and your choices are not inherently better. The freedom to pursue one's interests is the single most important factor in providing the level of wealth to even begin contemplating such things as moon colonies. If everyone was compelled to do what their "betters" thought they should, we would still be banging rocks together to make fire.
Rig the (American) footballs with tasers inside them such that the longer the game goes, the more frequently they deliver debilitating shocks.
This will not only make for unlimited "funniest video" footage, but will also turn the beginnings of every game into a massively brutal offense-fest as no team will want to have the ball late in the game.
Perhaps we should just have Open Class competitions, where athletes can use any Performance Enhancement (from drugs to implants) and let them drop when they fry.
Mine the outfield, and randomly let hungry bears or lions on the field.
I'd rather watch full-contact golf. Let's see if you can sink that putt before the defensive players hit *you* into the rough.
One of the biggest downsides to playing sports for me is that the rules are impossible to fully enforce. Referees can't always tell exactly how many steps you took or if you were on the line.
It annoyed the hell out of me when I played high school sports. Video games were much more enjoyable to me because they don't have these issues (unless you play sports games that try to emulate bad calls and randomness).
Sports would be much more fun without digitized referees.

We don't need any of these things in any sports. If we did then it just becomes an "arms race" that depends on how much money is available by the individual or team to spend on getting an (unfair) advantage.
What we do need is to continue developing the science of athletic training. We've already seen significant advances since the 1980's, and there's no reason why we can't continue developing our ability to do the most effective training in the least amount of time spent training.
Note that I am an athlete (non-pro road bike racer), I manage my own training using modern tools and techniques. It would so easy some days to just start taking steroids or other PEDs, which in conjuction with the training I normally do, would give me an incredible advantage over my competitors -- but every race I won, whether anyone else knew what I'd done or not, would have an asterisk next to it in my mind, since I knew it came from a bottle or a hypodermic needle, not from my own efforts. In my opinion making PEDs and other "unnatural" advantages legal would effectively destroy any sort of athletic competion, invalidating any sense of fair play. Sports would devolve into the realm of professional wrestling.

Personally, I've never gone to ANY sporting event and felt like I needed a high-speed Internet connection. The point of being at a game is experiencing it, not posting on Slashdot....

Eastern Alamance point guard Lamont Robinson gave a verbal commitment to play men's basketball for Mount St. Mary's.
"They showed me some clips of how they play and it was my style," he said Thursday after receiving and accepting the offer earlier in the day. "I really liked them. I really knew I wanted to go there once they offered me."
He said coaches for the Division I program in Emmitsburg, Md., made contact with him after this spring's Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions in Georgia. It's considered a major recruiting event for college prospects.
"At the tournament, I was playing great," Robinson said. "I was creating a lot of turnovers. I was pushing the ball."
He said he had good scoring sessions as well for his Raleigh-based travel team. The combination led to conversations with Mount St. Mary's coaches and then Thursday's offer.
"I wanted to go wherever I fit in," he said, pointing out he'll make a visit to Mount St. Mary's this summer.
He can sign a national letter-of-intent in November. Other offers came from Charleston Southern and Middle Tennessee State, while he had significant contact with Kennesaw State, Gardner-Webb and Wofford.
Steve Robinson, the player's father, said. "This is it. We're finished, thankfully. It's a lot of traveling and visiting schools."
Eastern Alamance coach Jay McPherson said the Mount St. Mary's staff made an impression on the Robinsons.
"Lamont really likes these guys and his family likes them," McPherson said. "I think these guys really believe in him and think he can help take them to another level. I think Lamont believes he can help them."
Robinson, listed at 5-foot-7, averaged 22 points and 5.3 assists per game last season, when he was an all-state selection. A three-year varsity player, he eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career in December.
Robinson, a 17-year-old rising senior, was the Times-News All-Region Player of the Year for the 2012-13 season, when the Eagles reached the Class 3-A Eastern Regional semifinals. Eastern Alamance won the Mid-State 3-A Conference.
Mount St. Mary's is coached by Jamion Christian, an alum of the school. He'll be entering his second season in charge in 2013-14. The Mountaineers went 18-14 in his first season, reaching the Northeast Conference Tournament final after upsetting Robert Morris (which topped Kentucky later in March in the National Invitation Tournament) in the semifinals.
McPherson said Robinson's abilities in transition are always a bonus.
"It has been nice to have," he said.
This weekend, Robinson will compete with Eastern Alamance as part of a team camp at Guilford College.

SNOW HILL — Greene County commissioners were asked to look at the county's options for pulling out of its financial hole.
The board met on Wednesday in a retreat with the director of the Eastern Carolina Council of Governments for the first time ever.
Member governments have the option of meeting with the ECC on an annual basis to discuss a vision for the future and options for overcoming problems.
Director Judy Hill said she believes the commissioners showed concern for the public wants and employees' needs.
"I thought that they, as a group, that they are very committed to do the right thing for the county," she said.
In addition to the board, county commissioner candidates Susan Blizzard, James "Jimmy" Davenport and Robert "Bobby" Glossip were present.
Commissioner James Shackleford said the board has a lot to consider and discuss.
"It's not going to be easy," he said. "As a board, we've got to make some decisions and move on."
Commissioner Bennie Heath said, "I think it was an opportunity to hear the views of someone who has heard the issues of other local governments."
Hill recommended the board members start out their meetings on a positive or light-hearted note. She had each member write a list of the difficulties they've experienced as acommissioner. Without reading them, Hill collected the lists in a miniature "coffin" to "bury" them forever.
From there, they moved into discussing what progress they have made and their vision of Greene County's future.
Heath started the discussion mentioning the county's infrastructure — mainly the water system — and recreation — particularly the Recreation Complex.
"We've probably offered more recreational opportunities to our young people in the county," Heath said.
Commissioner Denny Garner said, "I think our health care has improved."
He listed a number of medical and dental facilities located throughout the county.
Then came the challenges.
Commissioner Jerry Jones said economic development is needed.
Commissioner Jack Edmondson said the revenue from the quarter-cent tax is much less than was anticipated.
"We're the hub of these surrounding counties," he said. "It's so close. If we did have some nice retail here, I don't know if (folks) would support it."
He said that educating the public was needed.
Hill said the county has a report on what businesses are available and what is needed, and suggested the board look at its economic developer targeting businesses the county needs.
"I think you can have an impact over time," she said.
Shackleford said several large chain stores came in and pushed the smaller retailers out of business. But Hill said that is a reality every county faces.
Hill said the farmers market's push to buy local is an asset for drawing people into the county. She suggested tourism draws, such as a sweet potato tasting room, bus tours, a motel and more bed and breakfast inns.
The subject changed to attracting and retaining highly-skilled employees, reducing employee costs and rewarding those employees who have stayed with the county.
Hill suggested allowing more vacation days earlier in the year and switching to personal days, rather than sick days.
She asked if the commissioners have personally thanked or said something positive to the employees, especially those who are not in the limelight.
Hill focused on the 2014-15 budget.
"I would rather not see a tax increase," Edmondson said, "especially when we're above the surrounding counties." Not all were in agreement.
Hill said, "I know that's a tough one everyone faces this year."
They began discussing possible ways to outsource. Several jobs and services are currently outsourced — janitorial and technology services, Cooperative Extension agents and restaurant and well/septic tank inspections are some.
The board will be discussing consolidation of its social services and health departments on Monday and has done so with tax and water collections.
Hill suggested they look at their 911 dispatch center for sharing personnel with another county and consider moving some services to the nonprofit sector.
She also asked the board to think about promoting the services in which they do a good job to the towns and to look at the positive aspects of zoning.
"The plus side of zoning is that there are protections," she said.
Discussions ensued about management, using employee performance reviews for feedback and dealing unpaid real property taxes. They also discussed switching to paying a stipend for out-of-office phone use instead of county-paid phones and encouraging annual physicals and health screenings.
They discussed goals, with Garner saying the fund balance needs to be at the 25 percent the Local Government Commission recommends.
"We haven't been at that level for years," Heath said, suggesting the county make a goal of increasing the undesignated fund by $250,000 each year, as it did this year.
"It's going to be a tremendous balancing act," he said.
County Manager Richard Hicks said the county saved $140,000 by taking six furlough days this year.
Hill said the board needs to have a plan to earn extra points on grant applications and begin putting money aside for matches. She also recommended they consider enlisting 4-H and horticulture and other groups to help beautify the county facilities.

A lot of these are side effects of samatha meditation and buddhist practice.. I think perhaps switching styles of meditation might help with the unreal feelings. Perhaps metta or zazen for a while would help?
if you have a teacher I would also talk to them about it.. otherwise id say take things easy for a while, too much practice can also be harmful imo. Take care. :smile

RYAN VREDE writes that Peter de Villiers styled himself as the puppet master for the Springboks but ended his reign as no more than a puppet.
De Villiers wanted his legacy to be about evolving the Springboks tactically and implementing meaningful transformation. He failed on both counts and will be remembered for his lack of backbone in resisting the agenda of his senior players, poor selections, technical ineptitude and embarrassing media offerings.
The Springboks crashed out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage on Sunday, equalling their worst-ever performance at the global showpiece. Defeat to Australia was neither surprising nor disgraceful, but it is a fitting exit point a coach as ill-equipped as De Villiers was.
I overheard him speaking to a group of people in the Springboks' team hotel last week. 'I've been building towards this for four years,' he said. 'After this I don't want to see a rugby ball.'
He shouldn't have seen one at Test level in the first place. De Villiers was selected ahead of a far superior candidate, Heyneke Meyer. South African Rugby union president Oregan Hoskins said the decision was motivated by the need to have a black coach. Four years later Hoskins and his provincial presidents are still in power, while De Villiers will struggle to find a job with an elite franchise and will never coach a major Test nation again.
From the outset of his tenure he positioned himself as the antithesis to former coach, Jake White. He expressed strong views on a range of subjects relating to the Springboks, most notably stressing that they would play a more expansive brand of rugby and committing to improve what he said was a slow rate of transformation under White. The former ideal was shelved after one abysmal season, the senior players, most notably Victor Matfield and Fourie du Preez, engineered a shift to more pragmatic approach.
Meanwhile De Villiers window-dressed beautifully with regards to the introduction of black players, without implementing any meaningful change. The core of his preferred side was the one that won the World Cup for White. Beast Mtawarira is Zimbabwean born, Odwa Ndungane was Test impostor and Chiliboy Ralepelle still knows more about the composition of tackle bags than he does about the rigours of Test rugby.
De Villiers' record – Played 48 Won 30 Lost 18 (62.5%) – is poor, especially since he has had the finest generation of players in some time at his disposal. Examine his record against Australia and New Zealand, the benchmark against which the Springboks should measure themselves, and his mediocrity is starkly illuminated. Four wins from 12 against the Wallabies and five from 11 against the All Blacks is utterly unacceptable.
De Villiers enjoyed great success in 2009, beating the British & Irish Lions and later capturing the Tri-Nations title. However, by that stage the puppets had realised the puppet master's lack of aptitude in handling them. They cut the strings and reattached them to his appendages.
Those players then duly decided for themselves they had a World Cup left in them. A more astute coach would have recognised they reached the very peak of their powers – particularly in the case of John Smit, Bryan Habana, Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha. He claimed experience would be crucial at the World Cup. Experience, however, counts for very little when you lack the physical ability to execute the lessons experience has taught.
The Lions series also saw the nadir in De Villiers' flirtations with insanity during press conferences. In the post-match gathering after the second Test he vehemently denied Schalk Burger has eye-gouged Luke Fitzgerald, despite video evidence showing he had. This incensed the travelling media contingent, who asked him about the incident once more on the following Monday, offering him a shot at redemption. De Villiers delivered a series of embarrassing rebuttals, none more so than: 'If we wanted to eye gouge Lions, we would go to the bush, find some and do it there.'
Never must a political agenda, any agenda for that matter, take precedence over rugby credentials when selecting a Springbok coach. Those who drove De Villiers' cause are the same men who desperately sought the assistance of Rassie Erasmus ahead of the World Cup to compensate for what their chosen one lacked in technical and tactical skill. They need to be accountable, Hoskins more than any.
However, De Villiers cannot be mitigated. He must be measured by the standards he has set. His repertoire of one-liners is impressive, his favourite being: 'Even the bad days are good.' On the contrary, the bad days have been very bad, none more so than in Wellington on Sunday.

I recently returned to volunteer in Vietnam for the first time in 13 years. On my first mission with One World Pediatric Care, I was still in nursing school, so I had limited clinical expertise, but being a native of Vietnam I was able to provide language skills and cultural knowledge to the team. I have fond memories of our team intro-ducing the Vietnamese doctors to Laparoscopy equipment and training them on its use. When we deprted, we left behind the Laparoscopy equipment. It was gratifying to return to Vietnam and find that Laparoscopy equipment is now readily available and in common use at Vietnamese hospitals and clinics.
This year, I joined a mission trip with Vietnam Health Clinic (VHC) from August 23-September 6. VHC is a student-led organization at the University of Washington dedicated to improving access to healthcare for underprivileged people in Vietnam, and recruits medical professionals to volunteer their services. I joined ten medical physicians, two doctors of dentistry, one ophthalmologist and two optometrists to accompany the approximately 40 student organizers visiting small villages in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.
In Vietnam, we traveled 2-3 hours by bus from Can Tho city to remote villages to provide care. Once in the villages, the student volunteers from VHC set up the mobile clinics; our mobile clinic was usually up and functioning an hour after we arrived. We set up different stations such as vital signs area, triage area, vision check, pharmacy, public health area and doctors' offices.
We often served well over 300 poor and uneducated villagers in some six-plus hours of clinic work. To qualify for care at our clinics, a person's income had to be below 400.000 dong, or about $18 a month. Many took the day off to access free health care but worried that without pay that day their family would not be able to buy food.

RALEIGH — All Chris Tziatzos wanted to do was get into the game and find the net.
And that's exactly what the sophomore midfielder did to emerge as an unlikely most valuable player in Jacksonville's 2-1 overtime win over Hickory on Saturday in the NCHSAA 3-A championship game.
Tziatzos scored the game-winning goal with 3:18 left in the second 10-minute overtime to help the Cardinals rally for a victory and earn their second state crown since 2005.
His clutch moment came after he played the ball near the 18-yard line after a defender tried to clear it away.
"I was thinking today that I wanted to come off the bench, get in and score," Tziatzos said. "If I went out there, I wanted to try my hardest."
Tziatzos was surprised he was named the state final's MVP.
"Our goalkeeper (Zach McCracken) had a good game, too," he said.
That was true. McCracken ended with 3 saves to help the Cardinals stay close after they trailed 1-0. Another deserving candidate was senior defender Cormick Brennan, who tied the game with 2:41 left in regulation while helping the Cardinals' limit the Red Tornadoes to just one goal.
But Tziatzos was given the nod after scoring one of the biggest goals in Jacksonville history. His name will now stay in the history books of Jacksonville and in the NCHSAA as someone who scored a game-winning goal in a state championship game.
And to think, Tziatzos hasn't been a starter. Rather, he's been a role player off the bench for a team loaded with talented players this season. However, Tziatzos understood his role and knew he could be called upon at any time to play during clutch moments.
"I just try to do my job on the field," he said. "I try to distribute the ball and play well in the midfield and man-mark someone."
Tziatzos was asked to contribute even more against Hickory after senior defender Blake Heatherly was given a red card early in the second half due to a hand ball inside the box. Also, senior midfielder Austin Patselas didn't play because he was issued his third yellow card in the playoffs during the Cardinals' 6-2 East Regional final victory at Cardinal Gibbons on Tuesday.
"Chris is very good on the ball and he's given us good time off the bench," Jacksonville coach Dave Miller said.
Miller expects more from Tziatzos in the future.
"That's the thing, he's a sophomore and we got him for two more years," Miller said. "He will step up next year and give us a bigger role."
Until then, Tziatzos can enjoy his MVP award he won while helping the Cardinals win a state championship.

Male', 10 February 2010; Maldives Tourism Promotion Board together with tourism industry participated at the BOOT fair which was held in Germany, Dusseldorf from 22nd – 30th January 2010.
This year's 42nd annual Boot fair received 250,000 visitors, from over 61 countries that is 10,300 more than in the previous year. A total of 1,571 exhibitors from 61 countries showcased their products and services in 17 exhibition halls during the nine whole days. From Tourism industry, a number of safari operators, resorts and relevant agencies participated alongside other exhibitors.
BOOT always have been an ideal platform for the Maldives Live aboard safaris & relevant agencies. Together with MTPB, 7 companies represented Maldives this year in the BOOT fair. Safari operators, agencies and resorts who represented the Maldives were: Bandos Island Resort & Spa, Blue Horizon, Cruise Maldives Pvt. Ltd, Albatros top Boat, Static Tours Pvt. Ltd and Sun Travel & Tours.
Since dive segment proves to be a significant sector for Maldives it is crucial for well ‐ known diving destination such as Maldives to represent in the annual dive fair to help strengthen the presence of the dive products & promote dive offers to the target audience. Furthermore, for safari operators and other relevant agencies it tends to be fine opportunity to build good business relations and deals with the tour operators in there.
As previous years, Maldives Stand updated the visitors and the evermore enthusiastic tourists that visited the stand with relevant information and provided information on the packages that were offered from the representatives. These packages distributed at the stand were well received from the numerous keen visitors who visited to inquire about the package deals.
Promotional activities such as the lucky draw, proved to be a success which drew attention among a lot of potential visitors and enthusiasts. The lucky draw was organized from the MTPB as part of the promotional activities to carry out in the stand; the winner receives attractive free vacations from Bandos island resort and Spa, Albatross Top boat and Static tours.
Overall for a consumer fair it has been productive and beneficial in attracting prospective tourists for the delegation of Maldives.
At the end of 2010 Germany attracted 77,108 tourists to the Maldives which was 11.6 per cent growth compared to the figure at the end of 2009.

In a comment to a previous post, Spinks makes a comment that I think is illustrative of the divide between me and a lot of readers:
You seem to be thinking a lot lately about being able to measure how good someone is at PvE. But it's not going to work when you have one person who is amazing at stuff that involves interacting with the environment/ interrupts etc but can't get the pinpoint timing that you'd need to max dps output, or vice versa. Or someone who is a decent player but gets very very very stressed if they are asked to perform a raid-critical task.

A pair of students from Rochelle Middle School were finalists for the most prestigious award in the Boys & Girls Club.
Jamyia Mitchell, a sixth-grader, was named as the 2013 Youth of the Year of the Boys & Girls Club of Lenoir County
Mitchell beat out Jayshaun Spencer, a seventh-grader, for the award.
"I was surprised and happy when I won," Mitchell said. "I was very nervous in front of the judges."
Spencer said he was thankful to have the opportunity to give the club a good name.
"We were able to represent the club and show that we were respectable role models," Spencer said.
The judges — Coastal Connections President Debbie Chused, PNC Bank Branch Manager Hayley Dunn and PNC Bank Customer Service Associate Stacey Grady Hill — said both students were worthy candidates.
"It was a very hard decision because both did very well," Dunn said. "Unfortunately, we could only pick one."
The children had to write essays about home life and what they brought to the Boys & Girls Club, as well as give an oral report and have a question and answer session with the judges.
Mitchell and Spencer were also the only candidates for the award. A child has to be a member of the Boys & Girls Club for at least two years.
Mitchell will now be moving on for an opportunity to become the regional youth of the year.
"Jamiya will go to regionals on (Wednesday) to compete against other Youth of the Year in Greenville, Wilson, Ayden, Farmville and Washington," Hill said.
Unit director Sonya Howell had nothing but positive things to say about the two students.
"They are exactly what the Boys & Girls club stands for," Howell said. "Jamyia and Jayshawn are longtime members and are active in the club. We have a Torch Club, which is a leadership club providing community service, and both are very instrumental in that. They're models of good conduct.
"Jamyia is a choir soloist, a strong leader and does everything we ask her to. Jayshawn is excellent when it comes to helping with the young kids, whether it's playing games or leading with activities."
Chused said she was inspired by the two students.
"Both expressed their love for the Boys & Girls Club and the importance of having a positive place to go after school," Chused said. "They're both honor students and good role models for the younger members of the club."
