I agree 100%.... People today don't understand how EQ felt more of living in a second world than just playing a video game.. Nothing has ever come close to what EQ felt like to me.. In a way, that's a good thing.. If there was a true successor to EQ, I probably would be without a job and homeless right now, lol.. I was so addicted to EQ, I'd normally play for 15 hours straight on average.. In the summer when school was out, there were times I played for more than 24 hours straight,, only stopping to relieve myself and grab something to eat/drink, lol...
I'm sad but also kind of relieved there has never been a game released quite like it.. In my opinion, MMO's are not even close of what they used to be and used to mean to the person.. They are now shallow quick themeparks with no character whatsoever..

Everquest was the first MMO I ever played and I will never forget the time I spent with it. It took my conception of what an "RPG" is and expanded it ten-fold, never before had I gotten to explore such a vast world that felt as alive as it was dangerous.
I won't miss all of the corpse runs, levels lost from dying, and load times between zones, but I will miss that sense of wonder and awe I experienced during my first few months of playing. Everquest did so much more for me than introduce me to the MMO genre; it offered an outlet for me to fuel my creativity, it helped me bond with my brothers (I managed to get them hooked too) as well as new friends I made at school, and it taught me that sometimes the best adventures are the ones you didn't even expect to have.

I tend to get discontent when I run out of content.
Yes corpse runs stank -- and they always stank... People argued over that from day one.
But losing levels and heck levels were a completely different story.
Having levels NOT progress linearly changed your strategies...
IE you are 39th in a normal level -- you fight in X way.
Now you are 40th in a level that lasts 2.5 times as long... This does affect your play.
You ding 41st ... Now you are in the most interesting old level type of all of them... The DEATH PENALTY in the level after one of those long levels was HUGE because it was based off the exp in the prior level.
If you died in level 41 you lost like 2 full bars of exp, very often dropping you right back into level 40. The levels after the long levels were the levels where you had to really carefully plan your play. You did NOT want to die in a level after a x5 or x0 level.
Levels having themes could be a good addition to games...

People always talk about Luclin being the expansion that ended old school EQ. I completely disagree and feel that it was actually PoP that ended old school EQ. Luclin still very much had the feel of the first two expansions, despite the fact that people didn't like fighting snakes and aliens. PoP was responsible for:
1) Taking exploration out of the game by adding portal stones.
2) Making a very centralized, linear game by having a central hub zone (Plane of Tranquility) and tiered zones.
3) Taking a lot of the danger out of the game by having a graveyard in every PoP zone.
4) Began the shift towards and entirely raid focused end game (you couldn't even access the best zones for grouping unless you raided to unlock them).
Not to mention PoP flagging was one of the worst things ever in an MMO. Worse than VT keying by a long shot in my opinion. PoP was actually responsible for my qutting EQ for the first time. Granted I ended up coming back and playing for a long time, finally quitting for good about a year ago, but I've never really understood the hatred people have for Luclin when really I see PoP as the expansion that changed the game.
Also don't forget the completely abysmal method for acquiring spells in PoP.

I had to learn of EQ the old fashioned way, word of mouth from a kid on a bus back in 1999. Back then the internet was still a monotonous beast, but with crappy search engines and metasearch engines - good ol Hotbot - and it tied up my phone line. I'm not even sure what kind of gameing sites were around then. If EQ waited 4 more years to release, everyone would be playing EQ and in 4 more years WOW would be suffering the same fate as every other MMO since then. I'll bet the majority of people playing WOW had never heard of EQ back in the late 90's. Even if they did, you have to understand that playing EQ back then meant also adding a new phone line or if you were lucky, testing out early broadband.

Lucking did change eq for the worse. I hated portals too. Liked having to beg or buy ports from players. Best game ever till they screwed it. I remember gm events where the whole zone would try to slay some rampaging mob. Eq2 wa a crap pile. Evercrack was extremely emersive. So much so that I found myself getting scared in rl if looking like I was gonna bite the big one. Hard to explain why it was good it just was till some screwed it up. Every game some touches goes to shit. New eq2 is so poor it is not eve worth playing. Meaningfully death/rewards and realistic travel. Basically all the things the now gen bitches about are what made it good.

We have gone from a death penalty that meant something to one that means nothing. In SWtOR I dont think you have a penalty and can rez near by or back at a base (as often as you want I think). Every player can rez someone out of combat. For me that makes death of no consequence. Solo RPG'S were the seed that planted the idea of a MMO in game designers minds, now we are heading back, giving MMO's the death penalty of a solo RPG, i.e. none.
For me only certain classes should be able to rez, you should get a xp penalty that you can recover with play and a not too severe but stackable debuff. The old death penalty was too harsh, the modern death penalty is non exsistant.

I was once Tailrot, Uproar, Bandage, Thus(tin) Hammered, Rock, and so many more. Aye gamerest.
I tried EQ and UO in the same week. Having been a long time Ultima player on Apple II I loaded UO up first. I still clearlly remember logging into UO. It had a lot of that familiar feel except for truely horrendous amounts of lag. I walked around for maybe 2 hours. I got bored. I recall the people being rather nasty and rude. Couple of days later I booted Everquest-- within moments my jaw litterally dropped. I honestly got choked up and tears in my eyes.
It was amazing. So, so much more then anything I had ever seen or even expected to see at that time. It started the genre. No doubts of that for me.
I lost UO disk. I never logged in again. I played EQ for 5-6 years. Met and married a long time group mate. It was a dream that continues to shine and is the comparison I judge all games by to this day. Played many, many other MMOS since then and even while still playing EQ. EQ is the source of magic. It just needs a modern repolish it will capture the genre again.
I'm only waiting for that day to log in again. The tears will be there I am sure!

MMO sandbox games are as exciting as watching paint dry.

Fuck Owen play, and fuck FFA PVP. It appeals to a very minute segment of MMO gamers, and even before they went mainstream with WOW, EQ was towering above all.
I wish they would relaunch EQ, and make it with a lot less brutal of systems. "Grind" is not challenge, it is simply a time sink. Which is one thing EQ had plenty of, to go with a metric shit ton of PVE content.
To me, it seems rather ignorant to place anything above the importance of PVE content. That is the meat and potatoes of MMOs....everything else is simply side dishes. Throw in the choice of PVP for desert, and you got a pretty damn good meal.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.

This was a great article. It provides background info that I never knew about EQ. It reminds me about an article I read about DAOC's development and launch on another site.
I bet most of these early MMORPGs have great stories to tell about how they came to be. I agree with other posts, if more articles like this are written about other earlier games -- UO, DAOC, AC, I'd really enjoy reading about them -- even if I didn't spend time in the game. I'm not sure recent games' development and launches can match the stories these older games can tell. While the goal of these earier games was still to make money, it was also gamers making games and developing great ideas, not just money-making scams. Today its about business models and stuffed shirts in corporate sucking the souls out of games.
(I never got an opportunity to play EQ. I bought the game but my poor internet connection at the time couldn't handle it.... after days of trying to connect and reconnect with just minutes of game time in between, I gave up. I'm sure this article meant more to you if you spent a lot of time in EQ, but I can tell you that it was a fun read even though I didn't play it.)

My first character became my main for the rest of my time in EQ (several years). In fact it is my user name on mmorpg.com =) , and I have used it in several MMO's since.
No game since has given me the same challenge and thrill. The server community was like a family.
I recently subbed for a free trial and went to BB for old time's sake..those nasty Gnolls were still there making trouble - thank goodness I remembered not to go into the hollow tree =D

No way did EQ 'hurt the genre', this website would not exsist if it had not broken new ground and been a huge success.

Actually -- I don't know...
Lets say Everquest never existed...
In the early days of MMORPGs it would have been Asheron's Call vs Ultima Online.
Yes some themepark might have come along, but something tells me without Everquest (no matter how good and addictive a game it was) there would have been far more sandboxes made.
DAOC would certainly have been different and a lot more innovative.
Sometimes removing a good thing from the tapestry of time can end up improving things overall. And sometimes some of the worst possibilities could have been necessary... IE sometimes you need one thing to cause another thing and that second thing is really bad but the first thing may have been the best at the time. But without the former you have a much better latter.

I think you are wrong. EverQuest's success hinged upon two things 1) it was 3D and 2) it was simple. A lot of Ultima's lack of success beyond EQ's was simply that it was very daunting to get into, for instance until Reinassance it didn't come with a new player manual, or experience. Asheron's Call again, was a great idea, but possibly too complex to take into the mainstream. With Ultima, which reached 250,000 subs, and Asheron's Call which was about the same, the genre probably wouldn't have developed into the levels of popularity we see now, and may have been an oddity of the late 90's, rather than the massive industry pusher it is now. Would that have created more innovative, sandbox worlds? Possibly, but would it have given the genre the space to develop any further beyond two slightly succesful titles? Maybe not.
What you are saying is a little like, if Ultima Online didn't come out, Meridian 59 and Never Winter Nights Online would have directed the genre - it doesn't really come into contention because without UO, without EQ, without WoW, we wouldn't see the type of money rolled into making new games.

"In 1999, I was just 8 years old."
This statement made me feel old :(
I've never played an MMO that was as enjoyable as EQ back before Sony screwed it up. Its the only MMO that made me feel like part of a world and not like a character in a game.
I wish more games these days made your choice of race affect how you would play your class like EQ did. There seems to be this belief in modern MMOs these days that all player races have to be equal in most every way or that their advantages/disadvantages can't be significant. I loved my chainmail tank Iksar ShadowKnight.

While EQ eventually just became too painful for me to continue playing I still have not found a game that stirs the same feelings in me as EQ. I joined EQ and quickly made friends that I still have to this day. I have yet to find a game that allowed these types of friendships to occur on such a scale. Most of my fondest MMO memories are with EQ (followed by UO). I can remember getting my first SoW and getting lost in Greater Faydark, corpse runs to crushbone and the first trip to Freeport, finding my way to North Ro where I stopped to gape. Oh and those maps by Muse, a sight to behold.
I've played just about every MMO that gets releases for awhile there and I think this drive was an attempt to recapture that lost "EQ brotherhood".

Excellent article. I had forgotten voodoo cards altogether until reading this.
Some of my best MMO memories are because of this game. I actually laugh when I now watch my nephews play "suspense" games in the horror genre. I just think to myself "You should play an EQ Enchanter that needs "Charm" to kill something..." I don't think I even had fingernails left after those sessions.
Regardless, no other game has brought out the type of emotion that EQ did. What I remember most however was that amazing sense of community. I have to keep reminding myself that people once had manners online and were more than happy to help each other out. Here's hoping the next-gen MMO developers will look back at something besides the code when moving forward.

I've never felt such a feeling of wide spectrum of love and hate since EQ. It was the game that got me hooked on MMO's. Admittedly I'm still looking for the same sense of virtual world, thrill, depth and community. Unfortunately, I don't think we will ever see another MMO with this kind of depth and especially this kind of sense of danger just walking around the world. Each zone had it's own feel and with rare spawns there were mobs to farm that were actually unique and enjoyable.
Here's hoping that some of the MMO's in the future take a look to the past and consider the reasons why it had a lasting effect on the MMO community.

Great article! I couldn't agree more with Mardukk. The sense of depth, adventure, and especially danger are missing from all MMO's that I've tried since EQ. I doubt it will ever be captured in quite the same way again. In all my years of gaming nothing can come close to the awe-inspiring experience that I had with EQ.

They wore mostly red with some white and green merrily decorated Christmas sweaters as they gathered, ate, danced and saw Mrs. Claus.
That was the scene when hundreds of seniors gathered for the Berkeley Seniors Inc. Christmas Party on Dec. 13 at the Fraternal Oder of Police Lodge No. 19 near Moncks Corner.
A pair of DJs grooved up the party as about 20 lively participants cut a rug on the dance floor performing various line dances. There were a bunch of funny moves, some sassy struts and a lot of laughter.
Everyone then took their seats and the lights dimmed. A white Christmas tree with red decorations lit up the room as Mrs. Claus (Berkeley Seniors Executive Director Tonya Sweatman) made an appearance to read aloud a short Christmas story.

Do iPhone WebApps Have a Future in the Post-App Store World?
We've asked this before: do iPhone WebApps have a future? Sure, Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and even Apple to some degree are all racing to own what many think will be the next paradigm shift in platforms: the cloud.
But when Steve Jobs announced WebApps as the first iPhone development environment back at WWDC 2007, the silence was deafening. Sure, many innovative games, utilities, and optimized RIA (rich internet applications) emerged -- and Apple keeps track of them on a completely non-iPhone optimized directory, but the moment the iPhone SDK was released, the momentum shifted near-instantaneously. (Even the Facebook 2.0 App managed to trump their previously dominant iPhone WebApp).
TiPb uses the WPtouch iPhone Theme to present a better experience to iPhone browsers. After all, even in light of Apple's "just the internet", they have encouraged these types of sites through their developer guidelines, and have snuck in code into iPhone OS 2.1 to allow full screen WebApps that hide the "chrome" (interface, including URL and search boxes, buttons, progress bars, etc.)
One of our readers, Christopher, also sent in word of his iWebKit tools, which seek to make it faster, simpler, and easier to develop and deploy iPhone websites.
So is there's still a time and a place for both? Is that time shortening and the place getting smaller for WebApps on the iPhone? Or will they ride the same tide as Microsoft Office for the Web 2009 (or whenever it ships) and surge ahead again, allowing native Apps to enjoy only transient dominance?

Do iPhone WebApps Have a Future in the Post-App Store World?
I highly doubt web apps are going to be relevant after the app store because dedicated apps that can run without using an internet connection are superior for the user.
On a side note, I'm STILL waiting for background notification and push email...
Technically Paula, the only reason web apps can't do most of those things you mentioned is because apple prohibits mobile Safari from offering those kinds of low level device functions. Interested in maintaining security within the browser, Apple has not bothered with certificates for web app designers or some other form of proprietary authorization to enable developers to make full festitrd web applications that rival native ones.
The mass adoption of HTML 5 is not far away and with the introduction of HTML5 (and the ability of webapps to store data locally) webapps will see a rise.
But 'till then WebApps and Native Apps can live together:)
Of course there's a place for web apps, the benefit they have is leveraging server side processing power over desktop alternatives. The footprint they have is minimal as it's all done through the web browser. Its true that desktop apps have offline access and quicker responses than online apps, ultimately it's good to have a mix of desktop/online apps.
All the webapps I've written so far interact directly with pages in Safari. So yes, there's certainly a future for webapps in that context at least.
I know I'm very late to the party but I believe a combination is best. Reference materials that are updated a lot like wikipedia, wolfram-alpha and urbandictionary work best through a webapp interface. Instapaper works well by taking advantage of tabs but only if your device can cache pages well (iPhone 3GS, Pre). If webapps functioned like the wolfram alpha where it hid the safari UI, I wouldn't mind them too much.

The Lady Mocs improve to 4-0 on the year, their best start since the 1999-2000 season when UTC started the season at 4-0 in Head Coach Wes Moore's second season. Portland State falls to 3-1 on the year.
Dewart kept Chattanooga in the game scoring 13 of Chattanooga's first 15 points just over halfway through the opening stanza. Dewart's first layup tied the game in the opening minute at 2-2 but the Vikings scored the next six to get an 8-2 lead at the 17:48 mark. Dewart and Portland State traded buckets over the next couple of minutes before a couple of free throws put the Vikings up 16-8 with 14:42 to play in the first.
Dewart and sophomore Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn, Ga.) combined on a 6-0 run to cut the lead to just two, 16-14 at the 10:22 mark of the first. Dewart would get one more point in the half, but it would be senior Kylie Lambert down the stretch with 12 points behind a pair of 3-pointers and 6-of-8 shooting from the charity stripe.
Chattanooga took the lead for good on Lambert's final free throw of the period and solidified it with a layup from Towns to make it 35-32 at the break.
The Lady Mocs started the second half on a 17-7 run to take a 52-39 lead with 13:05 to play. Portland State would only get as close as eight points twice more in the contest. Dewart added 10 second half points to end up with a game-high 23 points. That is a season-high for the transfer, the most she has scored at UTC and one point shy of the most points scored in a game by a UTC player this season. Junior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) and junior Meghan Downes (Newnan, Ga.) have each tossed in 24 points for the Lady Mocs.
Lambert added six to her total and posted a double-double for the first time this season and the fifth of her career with 18 points and 10 boards. She also added a career-high five steals in the game and was 10-of-12 from the free throw line, a career-best effort.
Senior Kayla Christopher became the 25th member of the Lady Mocs' 1,000-Point Club Friday with eight points and was 2-of-4 from beyond the arc to move to fourth place all-time on the UTC women's basketball all-time 3-pointers made list with 171, surpassing Miranda Warfield for the spot. She had a season-high five assists on the day and recorded two steals.
Chattanooga outscored Portland State in the paint 24-12 and held a 20-11 advantage on points off turnovers forcing 26 by the Vikings. The Lady Mocs were outrebounded 40-39 but pulled down 16 offensive boards that translated into 17 second chance points. The Lady Mocs recorded 19 steals, the most since getting 15 against Wofford on December 9, 2009. Towns and Hall each snared four steals apiece.
Chattanooga shot 34.9 percent for the game after shooting 40 percent in the first half and was 4-of-19 from the 3-point line while making 20-of-27 free throws.
Portland State shot 42 percent for the game (21-50) and was 5-of-12 from beyond the line while making 12-of-16 from the charity stripe.
Portland State had three players in double figures led by Kate Lanz with 11 points and eight rebounds. Angela Misa nearly had a double-double in the second half, scored all 10 of her points in the latter stanza for 10 points and 14 boards. Allison Greene added 10 points in the effort.
Chattanooga will face host St. Mary's on Saturday at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. The game will be carried live on Cat Country 95.3 FM. Live stats, video streaming and streaming audio will be available at GoMocs.com.

Grand Rapids earns first DII volleyball titleNovember 17, 2012
With their backs against the wall in every set, Grand Rapids Community College (Mich.) showed their grit and swept top-seeded Cowley County CC (Kan.) 25-20, 25-23, 26-24 to win their first NJCAA DII volleyball national championship.
After coming back from a two-set deficit in the semifinals, the Grand Rapids Raiders showed no hesitation when they fell behind 18-15 to Cowley County in the opening set. The Tigers fell victim to a flurry of Grand Rapids kills as the Raiders won 10 of the final 12 points to take the first set. The Cowley Tigers came out strong in the second set, jumping out to a 21-11 lead. Grands Rapids came back again however, outscoring the Tigers 14-2 down the stretch to take a 2-0 lead in the match. In the final set, Cowley County saw their 21-17 advantage evaporate as the Raiders tallied their third sweep of the tournament to claim the DII crown.
Entering the tournament as the No. 2 seed, Grand Rapids took care of business in their first two matches of the tournament. The Raiders trounced No. 15 seed Hagerstown CC (Md.) 25-18, 25-13, 25-6 in their opening match. In the second round, Grand Rapids earned another sweep with a 25-14, 25-21, 25-19 victory over No. 10 seed Kishwaukee College (Ill). Things got tougher in the semifinals for the Raiders when they faced No. 3 seed Parkland College (Ill.). After dropping the first two sets to the Parkland Cobras, Grand Rapids stormed back to win three-straight sets and came out with a 25-27, 20-25, 25-21, 25-17, 16-14 win.
Cowley County's undefeated campaign in 2012 came to a close with their loss to Grand Rapids. The loss capped the Tigers off with a 38-1 record to end the year.
The Raiders finished their national championship season with a 39-1 overall record. Losing their last match on Sept. 7, Grand Rapids rode a 30-game win streak straight to the national title.

Leavenworth Shopping
Leavenworth Convention and Visitors Bureau

Editor's Review
Independent, creative shopkeepers sell handmade jewelry, home decor, gourmet cookware and fashion in historic downtown Leavenworth's walkable shopping district.
Leavenworth has been a shopping destination since pioneer days when westward bound wagon trains stopped for supplies. Today, shoppers stock up on handmade jewelry, gourmet cookware, antiques, ceramics and home decor sold by independent shopkeepers (many are military wives) occupying the historic storefronts. Leavenworth's downtown shopping district stretches from Broadway Street to the Missouri River, incorporating hot shops on Cherokee, Delaware and Shawnee streets. Gourmet food, kitchenware and gadget shop Pot Rack carries top brand cooking gear (913/364-5038; thepotracklv.com). Euro Pottery specializes in ceramics from Poland (913/680-0806; europottery.com), and seamstresses travel many miles for fabrics at Quilter's Quarters (913/651-6510; quiltersqtrs.com). A must stop: Artistic Works by Lu for handmade jewelry (913/758-0754; artisticworksbylu.com). Artist-mom Lu designs jewelry ($15 earrings to $50 necklaces); daughter Christine buys the Bohemian-style, casual-chic clothing. Candle Queen Candles is like being inside a giant Crayola box (913/682-7724; CandleQueenCandles.com). Hundreds of colored, super-scented, hand-poured candles ($10 to $85) fill the vivacious store, which also touts serious bling (rhinestone baubles and Pandora charms) and style-defining accessories (studded, faux-animal skin handbags, up to $50; scarves, $20).

MIMOA is an excellent online guide to European architecture. The site has already mapped over 1000 buildings and as anyone can add buildings, post comments and add ratings, the site is growing every day. That fact alone would make this a great site to visit but MIMOA has also included some great innovations in their use of Google Maps.
Favourites and I Was Here Feature
As you browse through the buildings featured in MIMOA you can add them to your favourites or you can add them to the list of buildings you have seen. Once you start tagging your favourites and the buildings you have visited these become options on the map. You can therefore create a map that only includes your favourites or a map that just includes the buildings you have visited. This is a feature I haven't seen before in other Google Maps projects and is a great way to personalise the browsing experience.
MI Guides
I personally spend a lot of time video mapping London for my Virtual Tourism blog. So I thought I knew the city very well. However MIMOA has mapped a number of stunning buildings in London that I didn't even know existed. I have just spent a very happy two hours creating a 'MI Guide', which will help me explore these buildings in person the next time it stops raining.
'MI Guides' are another great features of this site. As you browse the buildings in MIMOA you can add them to your guide and when finished print out a PDF of the guide. This feature is in beta testing at the moment but MIMOA promise that eventually the guides will include a map with a route of your choices.
MI Projects
The last important feature of MIMOA is that browsers can add their own 'projects' via an easy-to-use interactive form. This means that the number of buildings mapped at MIMOA will just grow and grow.

Aunt Sally's Bananas Foster Creamy Pralines, Set of 12 1 1
the best price around, great for banana lovers Having checked the Aunt Sally's store in New Orleans, and several grocery stores in the area and online, I can say this is the best price per praline you're going to find. I think these taste pretty gross, not being a fan of "fake banana" as a flavor. My fiance, though, loves everything banana, including banana snack cakes and banana bubblegum, and he thinks this are pretty much the perfect candy, with a strong banana flavor and good-quality nuts. The ones I bought in-store have all been soft, a little chewy, and decently fresh. January 27, 2014

The UNH Coaches Blog will be a
weekly feature in which selected coaches share thoughts and
insights about their program. This week's inaugural blog
highlights the cross country, volleyball and women's ice
hockey teams.
I am happy to have this opportunity to participate in this year's UNH coaches blogs for the men's and women's cross country and track programs. This is a unique new opportunity for myself, coach Boulanger and coach Carroll to communicate to the UNH community the inside scoop on the cross country and track programs.
Before writing about the team I would like to thank the UNH community for the continued support of the programs. It is through the support of our alumni, fans and friends in the community that we have built the programs' success. A huge piece of this equation has been our volunteer coaches. For years, these individuals have given their time and commitment to the student-athletes of the cross country and track programs. George Liset, (throws) Ian Bodwell, (pole vault) and Carl Mitchell, (distance) are all invaluable pieces of the program. We have also benefited from a long list of gifted grad assistants. The latest in great young UNH coaches is Anna Magle, who is starting her third year at UNH.
As important as our coaches are the alumni and friends. It is through your valued support that we have been able to build both our outdoor track and reconstruct the indoor track. Thank you for all that you do for the program. Please mark your calendars and attend our home indoor meet on January 23, and our home outdoor meets on April 3, 10, 24 and the America East Championship meet on May 1 and 2nd. We are able to host these home meets because of the hard work of "coach Boulanger's" officials. Again I would like to thank all of our officials. Without you we would not be able to host these great meets.
At this point we are well into the cross country season. The men's team is led by a group of seven seniors and fith-year grad students. Nate Bassett, Nick Decrescenzo, Wes Dinnan, Ben Jenkins, Josh Kearns, J Wes Moseman, and Mark Ouellette are looking to continue the UNH tradition of cross country excellence. The men's team has won 8 out of the last 11 America East Conference Championships. Coach Boulanger certainly feels that this team, with the addition of a great incoming class, has the ability to be another great UNH team. After winning the invitational at Vermont on September 13th, last week the team ran at the Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh University. Highlighted by Josh Kearns' 24:37 for 5 miles we are looking forward to the New England Championships at Franklin Park in Boston on 10/10.
We all have high hope for the women's team coming off of last years 9th place finish at the NCAA regional meet. This young team is off to a slow start dealing with a series of small setbacks. Things started to take a turn for the better at this weekend race at Lehigh. Highlighted by Sydney Fitzpatricks 23rd place finish in 20:59 for 6 kilometers and Allison Letourneau and Courtney Hamer's PR's, the team is starting to run up to its abilities. We are looking to continue to improve, starting with the New England Championship meet.
On a final note, it is always great to see so many UNH cross country alumni in the results of local road races. Coach Carroll – UNH class of 1994 – has had a great summer winning a number of local contests. Lesley Hocking (formerly Read, Class of 2004), ran a great 2:49 marathon this past weekend.
(Robert Hoppler is in his seventh year as the UNH women's cross country head coach. He has assisted with the men's cross country and track distance runners for 13 years.)
Time 2 Shine in '09! We're off to a good start after competing in a challenging pre-season. Congratulations to our all-tournament selections including: Justine Elliott (at Syracuse); Sara Heldman (at UConn); Lindsay Fogarty (at URI); Kate Uitti (at UNH); and Kate Uitti and Lindsay Fogarty (at Providence).
Our home attendance continues to be one of the leaders on the east coast. We enjoyed over 1,000 people throughout the weekend at our second annual Holly Young Invitational! Last weekend, we held our third annual Breast Cancer Awareness match and are still raising money hoping to reach our $5,000 goal!
So far, Lindsay Fogarty and Kate Uitti are leading the offensive end with 174 kills and 545 assists, respectively. Defensively, Justine Elliott and Sara Heldman are paving the way with 51 total blocks and 286 digs, respectively. It's great to have three-time America East Conference award winner Kirsten Bates back in the lineup after recovering from ACL surgery.
Also, congratulations to three-time captain Kate Uitti for reaching the 3,000 assist mark at our home tournament against Arizona State! The first round of conference play is just starting and we're looking forward to a competitive fight for the America East conference title and another trip to the NCAA Championships!!!
(Jill Hirschinger is in her 14th season as UNH volleyball head coach. She has recorded more than 200 victories at UNH and surpassed 600 total in her career.)
With two weeks and one exhibition game under their belts, we opened our season this past weekend with a pair of solid wins at the Whitt. Ten new faces took the ice in Saturday's home opener. We entered the weekend with a ton of question marks, but our young team seemed anxious to put themselves to the test.
Saturday we faced the University of Connecticut, coming away with a 3-1 victory; a terrific way to start the year. I thought our team played aggressively on both sides of the puck winning the majority of the one-on-one battles. We were very encouraged by the play of our young blueline, which featured three freshmen making their Wildcat debuts- Katie Brock, Kailey Chappell and Bryanna Farris. Coupled with the veteran play of Courtney Birchard, Raylen Dziengelewski and Courtney Sheary, I thought our defense played with a lot of poise for week one.
Offensively we got balanced scoring and contributions from every line. Leading the way were three veterans, Micaela Long, Kelly Cahill and Kelly Paton. On the other end, freshmen Kristine Horn and Brittany Skudder tallied their first career goals as Wildcats! Julie Allen, Kristine LaVoie and Brittany Skudder's line was a physical presence all weekend long.
October features six additional non-league contests that tell us a lot more about where our team stands in the overall national picture. Already the injury bug has reared its head, shuffling the roster right out of the gate. It should be an interesting and entertaining month!
(Brian McCloskey is in his eighth year as UNH women's ice hockey head coach. He also spent nine years as an associate head coach with the UNH men's ice hockey team.)
The UNH Coaches Blog will be a

Date night in New OrleansWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
As my wife Shannon and I made recent arrangements for a night out, our 8-year-old son Evan and 6-year-old son Sean picked up Lego blocks and prepared for their babysitter to arrive.
"How come you have dates?" Evan asked. "You're already married!"
I caught my wife's eyes and said, "And we stay married because we still have dates."
Evan nodded and went back to his blocks. I doubt the boys truly understood but they will one day. Shannon and I have maintained a strong friendship as our marriage has evolved. That strikes me as an obvious thing to state but we see too many couples who seem to be together more out of habit and obligation than from friendship, much less love.
A recent invitation to a baptism in the New Orleans area offered an opportunity for what we viewed as an extended date night. I had never been to New Orleans and Shannon's sole experience was based around a conference, so a weekend away on a long date held great appeal.
We haven't planned it that way, but we have taken weekend getaways without our sons just about every two years. A weekend in Las Vegas for Shannon's birthday four years ago and a revelatory weekend in Grand Rapids, Michigan, two years ago have been woven around family trips and work trips to Chicago, Miami and many points in between.
We arranged for the boys to stay with my wife's youngest sister and her husband; they have three kids in our sons' age range and I suspect Evan and Sean were as excited for their weekend as we were for ours.
We landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on a cloudy Friday afternoon, diving into a humidity that caresses skin and envelops clothing in a steamy embrace.
We knew we were in Las Vegas when we saw slot machines at the airport. Our first confirmation we were in the Big Easy was when our airport rental car agent's first recommendation for the weekend was to make sure we tried two local drinks, the Hurricane and the Hand Grenade. I bemusedly commented on the irony of a rental car agent encouraging us to drink alcohol. She offered the warm sugary smile I would see on many faces that weekend and said, "Hon, we have drive-thru daiquiris here; you just be smart as you party this weekend."
Lee Circle
The New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau (NOCVB) found accommodations for us at The Hotel Modern in the central business district (the NOCVB made the hotel contact but we paid all costs).
The Hotel Modern faces the monument honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee (as he once said he would never turn his back on the North, his statue resolutely faces straight into Yankee territory). It is a 12-foot statue on top of a 60-foot tall column surrounded by wide stairways, decorative urns and a traffic circle.
The Hotel Modern is easy walking distance to the French Quarter, and is just steps from the St. Charles Avenue streetcar that ventures to Canal and Bourbon streets. Its staff was uniformly friendly and patient with tourist questions. The hotel is acutely attuned to tourist needs. How attuned? The sleeve that holds the electronic door key folds out into a walking map of the French District and central business district. The room we stayed in was designed more like the apartment bedroom of a friend than a cookie-cutter hotel room. It was clean and homey, with a modest library of books and a blessedly effective air conditioner. We could have stayed at the Hotel Modern and been perfectly happy; its restaurant, Tivoli & Lee, offered a wide range of specialty drinks and such regional food as Dirty Spaetzle (over easy eggs with crispy greens), a Two Run Farm Burger (pimento cheese, pork belly marmalade and spicy house-made pickles on a pretzel roll) and cinnamon doughnut bread pudding with coffee ice cream.
The hotel's Bellocq Lounge, named after a photographer who captured the madams in the red light district of Storyville, offers creative cocktails, wines and small plates crafted by Chef Marcus Woodham.
But as tempting and exquisite as The Hotel Modern's offerings were, the night beckoned.
Beignet there, done that
We knew Bourbon Street was going to be a part of the weekend, so we decided to ease into the party with a walk along St. Charles Avenue. It's mostly residential, dotted with a few hotels and restaurants near Lee Circle. The houses are close together like those in many Washington, D.C., neighborhoods. The architecture, accented with remarkable lush landscaping, columns and fountains, is worth a mile or two walk. We found The Irish House, with live music and warm scents of food drifting onto St. Charles Avenue. The fish and chips were fresh and well seasoned, and it was there we tried our first drink, a Frozen Leprechaun (Absolut Citron, Midori, blue curaçao, sour and lime juice).
The next morning, we set out in a light rain to walk the two miles to the French Market, nestled against the Mississippi River. We enjoyed a fine breakfast at Stanley's (Shannon ordered an Eggs Benedict Poor Boy and I had a mimosa and about one-third of a delicious Stanley Classic (scrambled eggs, smoked bacon, Creole breakfast potatoes, and whole wheat toast). I do not usually associate breakfast with dessert, but we were just a block away from Café Du Monde, which had a three-block wait for its chickory coffee and beignets. Beignets, which parents may remember as Tiana's culinary specialty in "The Princess and the Frog," are basically doughnuts on steroids, deep-fried twists of dough seemingly smothered in equal parts powdered sugar and crack cocaine.
I have never killed a man, but if one stood between me and a Café Du Monde beignet, that man better hope I am not within arm's reach of a knife, revolver, wrench, lead pipe, rope or candlestick.
We shopped along the many windows on Decatur Street, from the fairy tale backdrop of Jackson Square to the Old U.S. Mint. We were exhilarated, overstimulated, exhausted and wired.
And it wasn't even noon yet.
Next week: Qualia, Marie Laveau's tomb and the premature death of Fats Domino.

Becky Wise, a native Oklahoman and retired music teacher, moved to the Antlers/Rattan area in June of 2011, but opening a Goat Dairy was not in her list of plans.
"When we moved here we didn't plan on this," Becky said. "We built the barn for storage purposes and planted hay in our field. Goats were not in the realm of things we intended to do."
Boy where they wrong! When the hay was cut, Middle Mountain Dairy, a goat dairy in the Sardis Lake area, purchased the hay. Becky followed them back to help deliver the hay. That is when she got her first goat and plans started to develop.
"My first goat was Fernando," Becky said. "Then came five does so we could slowly grow our heard. Than the next thing I knew we had 47 more goats coming, over time of course."
Having only 5 goat dairies in the state of Oklahoma, Cross Broom Farm, L.L.C., prides themselves on being the only one that is this far southeast. And they are looking forward to growing and expanding. With the first expansion coming in the next month or so when they are looking forward to new baby goats arriving on the farm!
Cross Broom Farms is home to three breads of goats. Saanen, LAMancha and Cross. This unusual mixture allows them to milk their goats 365 days a year, where most dairies are seasonal.
"You will find the milk to be thick and sweet," said Becky. " Almost like melted ice cream but not quite that sweet."
Cross Broom Farms is currently working on a deal to provide a company from Dallas,TX., and one from Bonham,TX., with their milk. Also, their sister dairy, Middle Mountain Dairy, will be receiving their milk as they have switched to producing cheese.
Cross Broom Farm can also sell 100 gallons of raw milk off of the farm, but customers must come to the farm to purchase the milk. For those who have priced goat milk, they are only asking $8.00 a gallon, and that isn't bad.
Cross Broom Farms is also open for tours. If any schools or groups are interested they are open Monday through Saturday form 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. However, they are considered a closed herd so hands must be sanitized if contact is going to be made with the goats.
There will be an open house held on May 10th and 11th with a ribbon cutting kicking things off on May 10th at 10:00 a.m. Middle Mountain Dairy will be there providing free samples of their goat cheese to attendees. Samples of Cross Broom Farms milk will also be available.
You can contact Cross Broom Farms by calling 580-271-0846, mailing HC 67 Box 1045, Antlers, Ok 74523, or emailing them at

Buck Inabinet is described by co-workers as the "quintessential civic volunteer" and a true gentleman who should be the next mayor of Summerville.
Inabinet laughs off that last bit – politics isn't part of his plans – but he has quietly and consistently made his mark through his volunteer activities.
Inabinet and his wife Laurie moved to Summerville when their now-27-year-old eldest son was six months old.
The two were high school sweethearts from Orangeburg County who moved here because of Inabinet's banking position.
More so then than now, banks made sure their employees got involved in civic organizations and sat on boards, Inabinet said, so he found himself teaching students how to run a business as part of Junior Achievement.
Inabinet soon moved from banking to insurance, but he's continued to be involved in the community, whether by serving on the board of the Boy Scouts' Coastal Carolina Council or simply by picking up trash as he takes his neighborhood walk each morning.
"I have this issue with litter. I can't figure out the psychology of people who litter. It drives me nuts," he said.
In fact, on a visit to a small town in Georgia for a wedding, he saw a sign proclaiming the town a "litter-free community" and realized that it was indeed the cleanest little town he'd seen. He thought he'd like to find a way to bring such a program to Summerville and increase litter awareness here.
His passion takes a lot of patience from his wife, he jokes, as she has to slow down her walk each morning as he stoops to pick up roadside trash.
Beyond basic cleanliness, Inabinet has been involved in beautifying the community.
Susan Morris, former DREAM director, said Inabinet was the engine behind the "flower the town" project, which installed hanging flower baskets downtown.
"Buck is very hands on and would be out there watering the baskets, climbing on ladders to measure brackets for the flower baskets, speaking to local groups to encourage the donation of funds for the baskets. He was also behind the two clean-up days done in the downtown in the last year to spruce up things," she said.
Inabinet said he likes working with the people downtown because "that's where business really starts."
In his line of work with the Taylor Agency, he's past president of the Independent Insurance Agents, where he helped raise money for the American Red Cross's Heroes for Fire Victims program.
It takes an average of $1,250 for the Red Cross to help a family of four get back on their feet after a fire, Inabinet said, and there are far more fires in the region than one would realize by watching the news.
He likes fundraising for the program because it lines up so well with insurance work.
He also enjoyed watching his friend Brian Mitchum spearhead the campaign to pass the school bond referendum last November.
Inabinet himself led the charge for the last successful school bond, in 1995, and he said he did so because he could look around and see the need.
His sons, Hollis and Andrew, are grown and out of college now, but he still knows the importance of schools.
"We are a school town to be sure," he said.

Andy Warhol explored the relationship between reality and fiction in multiple ways. Using various artistic mediums and experimental methods of production, he found forms of representation for this abstract relationship between the genuine and fake in the images of celebrity. Add to this Warhol's practical effacement of art as sincere individual practice—thanks to the introduction of The Factory and mass-produced art—and you have a compounded critique of the true, false, and their enigmatic meaning, all wrapped up in a portrait of Elvis.

An Aiken woman accused of shoplifting allegedly took several bags full of merchandise from Kroger without paying, but not before stopping at Starbucks for a drink on the way out, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
A store employee told officers that an unknown woman took an unknown amount of merchandise from the store without paying for it on Sunday, according to the report. The suspect placed the items into shopping bags that were also taken from the store.
The suspect then went to Starbucks inside the store and purchased a drink before leaving, according to the report. She continued out to the parking lot, which she left from in a black Lincoln Navigator.
The reporting officer viewed surveillance footage of the incident and recognized the suspect as 41-year-old Pamela Ely, of Brandy Road in Aiken, according to the report. Officers went to Ely's home and saw a Lincoln Navigator in the driveway that matched the one seen in the shoplifting video.
Officers planned to obtain a warrant for shoplifting for Ely.

I am a communications business and I want to compete in the C-SPAN HD, C-SPAN2 HD and C-SPAN3 HD online commentary marketplace. Comcast is using it's monopoly position as my cable provider to prevent me from having access to C-SPAN2 HD and C-SPAN3 HD. Therefore, I am unable to compete in the HD Congressional Commentary marketplace. This is bad for DEMOCRACY and it is bad for the INDEPENDENT JOURNALISTS in Comcast's service area. This reduces diversity of opinion in the Congressional Commentary marketplace and leads to the American citizens getting their news only from official sources, such as the major broadcast networks, cable networks and movie companies such as the NBC companies.

Daily updates
Here are daily updates from CSW, written by our delegates in New York.
Skip to day: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Thursday 1 March: Day 6
Written by Haley (UK) and Pamela (Rwanda)
Today we had our WAGGGS breakfast. Danielle, Haley and World Board member Wamuyu gave some excellent speeches.
Danielle talked abut how great CSW has been and all that she learnt. Haley spoke about how excited she was to come to CSW, but also spoke about some challenges she has had finding girl spaces at CSW.
Monica and Praewa got busy and got people at the CSW to add their voice to the Stop the Violence campaign by signing pledges.
Wamuyu then took to the microphone and sang Haley a special Kenyan Happy Birthday. At the breakfast our friend from the Girl Scouts of the USA and Soroptimist International came to support us.
After breakfast we all went to watch Monica talk about the WAGGGS co-hosted side event on rural violence. Next we watched Kumbukani talk about her experience on being a girl in Malawi. Both girls were excellent!
The girls were amazing, and it was great to hear them describe their life and the challenges they face in their countries through drama and song.
Afterwards, Haley, Monica and Praewa got busy and got people at the CSW to add their voice to the Stop the Violence campaign by signing pledges. In the evening we went to the Plan International girl-led event.
The girls were amazing, and it was great to hear them describe their life and the challenges they face in their countries through drama and song.
To finish the evening off we went for a farewell dinner and to also celebrate Haley's birthday! We then walked to Times Square and Haley renewed her promise as an adult leader underneath the flashing lights.
Wednesday 29 February: Day 5
Written by Monica (El Salvador) and Praewa (Thailand)
Wonderful day today!
In the morning the delegates went to different sessions, such as "Empowering Rural Women in eradicating poverty and hunger"; some other delegates went to "Challenges and Opportunities on Mental Health", where we learned the importance of including Mental Health in an Integral Medical Service.
We all met at noon to attend Pamela's speech. She did such an awesome job and spoke out for girls and young women in Rwanda.
We all met at noon to attend Pamela's speech on "Voices of Rural girls" event at the Salvation Army. Everyone was so thrilled! She did such an awesome job and spoke out for girls and young women in Rwanda.
Pamela talked about the importance of non-formal education in order to provide young women and girls with leadership skills that they won't learn at school. She informed the audience about WAGGGS' advocacy campaign "Stop the Violence".
Then at 4pm it was time for Praewa being a speaker at the side event arranged by the UK, Thailand and Denmark Permanent Mission on Body Confidence and Body Image in the Media. Other speakers included UK Equality Minister Lynne Featherstone, National Commission for Women's Advancement, Thailand Juree Vichit-Vadakan, Denmark Minister for Gender Equality Manu Sareen, Deputy Executive Director, UN Women Lakshmi Puri, and psychotherapist and writer Susie Orbach.
It is such a great feeling seeing people smile when you were speaking. When it finished they came to shake hands and said 'congratulations!', 'your speech is inspiring', 'I love your speech!'
In her speech, Praewa also mentioned the non-formal education which is provided by WAGGGS and also got support from Lakshmi Puri who mentioned "Stop the Violence" which WAGGGS partners with UN Women.
Praewa says: "I'm so glad for having the opportunity to speak out for girls and young women around the world at this event. I had a sore throat in the morning and was so nervous but at the end it turned out to be so awesome because everyone loves my speech!
"It is such a great feeling when seeing people smile when you were speaking and when it finished they came to shake their hands with you and said "congratulations!" "your speech is inspiring" "I love your speech!" I feel beyond happy!
"I also have to say thank you to WAGGGS and UK, Thailand and Denmark Permanent Mission for giving me this opportunity; Sophie, Andrea and Pippa for helping with my speech practice; and WAGGGS delegates at CSW 56 for supporting me!"
Tuesday 28 February: Day 4
Written by Haley (UK) and Danielle (Canada)
This is Danielle and Haley reporting from New York City!
Today was such a busy day with the eight WAGGGS delegates. They all went their own ways today, which made for a very exciting debrief meeting at the end of the day.
Sessions delegates attended today included such topics as:
- Child marriages need to be addressed by government - rural girls want education, not marriages when they are still children
- Rural women are facing challenges related to access to markets (they are difficult or non-existent)
- Three of our delegates were also interviewed by the UN Foundation! They report that it was "really fun" and "good"!! They spoke about what it is like to be a girl in their home countries.
- A delegate was also able to connect with many Young Delegates from other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and got them to add their voice to WAGGGS' Stop the Violence campaign.
We ended the day with the reception for Young Women at the Girl Scouts of the USA headquarters! There was great music, and needless to say, dance is a language all cultures can understand! Overall we had a great, and busy day!
Back to you followers. Until tomorrow, this is Haley and Danielle signing out! Good Night!!
Monday 27 February: Day 3
Written by Kumbukani (Malawi) and Rabeb (Tunisia)
Today was the first day of the 56th Commission on the Status of Women. It was a pretty day and the delegates attended their first side events. They came back with a lot of new stories to share with each other.
They were inspired mostly by the women speakers like Susan Bradbury, the founder of the Sound Essence Project. She stated in her speech that we should "trust" and that we "have the possibility to make a great project beginning with little steps".
Today a couple of the WAGGGS delegates were also able to bring up the idea of "non-formal" education. This was interesting, as in both cases, the delegates received positive responses.
A few of the delegates attended a session on food security. Who would have thought that a method of cooking that even Girl Guides and Girl Scouts use at camp could be adapted and used in developing countries so effectively to cook meals?
This method was introduced by Solar Cooker International, and is as simple as a cardboard box lined with aluminum. With this method, a black pot is used, and set in the cardboard box while it is out in the sun.
How the delegates feel after today: amazing, educated, great, encouraged, knowledgeable (just to name a few!)
The Tzu Chi USA organization introduced the "80% to 20%" method of feeding those who are in need. If we can offer 20% of our food, we will not go hungry and still be able to help those who have no food.
In the evening all the delegates attended a busy Young Women's Caucus, where we worked on a young women's oral statement that is going to be presented in the UN sessions. Afterward, several delegates attended receptions at their government's Permanent Mission where they met their goverment's representatives.
We want to close with a few words of how the delegates feel after today: "amazing!"... "educated"... "great"... "encouraged"... "knowledgeable"... (just to name a few!)
Sunday 26 February: Day 2
Written by Monica (El Salvador) and Praewa (Thailand)
Today we went to the Salvation Army for the Youth Orientation Day for preparation for the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).
This is where we meet other delegates who represent organizations as well, for example, Plan International (Because I am a Girl); Girls Learn International Inc, the Grail, Girl Scouts and Loretto.
The activities encouraged us to reflect on the actual situation of girls and young women from rural areas in countries around the world.
We were inspired by the speech from Michelle Bachelet, she is the Executive Director for the UN Women and Former President of Chile, and also the speech from Kenya Ambassador Ojiambo was very inspiring too.
Afternoon session, we had the review theme session where everyone had to decide how to manage their family budget. For example, if we only earn one dollar a day, we had to decide what to spend it on for our families.
For the morning session, we got into discussion groups and talked about the primary theme which was about the resources found in the urban and rural areas. The activities encouraged us to reflect on the actual situation of girls and young women from rural areas in countries around the world. We also watched a video which showed us a day in the life of a young girl from a rural area in Malawi. The video was very touching and emotional.
We were inspired by the speech from Michelle Bachelet, she is the Executive Director for the UN Women and Former President of Chile.
Advocacy at the UN, which gave us the opportunity to think about how the youth delegates could influence the decision makers at the CSW.
Social Media Advocacy, which gave us some ideas of how to spread the word and create the right messages to right people via the media.
In the evening the delegates decided about the Day 2 activities for the Commission on the Status of Women Monday schedule.
Saturday 25 February: Day 1
Written by Pamela (Rwanda) and Danielle (Canada)
And it begins...
We knew we had a lot to learn about the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)... And to learn about how to advocate on behalf of their 10 million members... But we never realized just how much there was to think about when lobbying at a United Nations conference!
The delegation (from Tunisia, Northern Ireland, Thailand, El Salvador, Rwanda, Canada, Malawi and England) started off with our first adventure into the United Nations grounds! We had to get our pass to gain access for the rest of the week to the Commission on the Status of Women conference!
After queuing, we went through the motions, then we were on our way to Girl Scouting USA National headquarters for our packed full day of training!
We never realized just how much there was to think about when lobbying at a United Nations conference!
Basically, we did some role playing, and discussed scenarios we might face with government officials, and other NGO representatives (the good and the challenging). This in turn, has better equipped us the delegation to convey the message we have to share on behalf of the 10 million girls that WAGGGS represents.
We, the delegation, are very excited to be working with each other... We each bring different talents, skills and experiences to the team, and cannot wait to experience this week together!
That is all for now, as we must get a good nights sleep! We have more training tomorrow - including facilitating many aspects of the "Youth Orientation". So exciting!!!

Hello all.
Sadly, I cannot be with you at Mullingar, this year, for I will be in Listowel on the same dates and while Aileen may be able to be in the kingdom and elsewhere at the same time, I cannot.
I made loads of friends in Westport last year with whom I am still in touch; so I would encourage as many members as have not been to conference before to attend.
It's more than a conference: it's a gathering and a happening and the beginning of something new, if you so choose.
Next year, for sure.

Our scene-specific blog commentary on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew continues. Below, the doctor talks about the main points of the episode: kicking, kicking and screaming (on Jeff's part) and the ball of extremeness that is Gary. Drew also gives some insight on the difficulty of treating people in front of cameras and why he hates being mistaken for a producer on set.
A major theme of this episode was detox. The footage of Amber is pretty insane.
She had a very tough withdrawal and that's going from one milligram of Suboxone. What's interesting is that medicine is supposed to be the salvation for opiate addicts and yet you're looking down the barrel of how problematic that is. It's supposed to be a medicine used for out-patient detox, and it makes things so easy for patients. Well, she couldn't get off it, you see how tough it is for her to stop. Opiate addicts need to stop doing opiates, period. There never will be a kinder, easier way for opiate addicts. She was on a tiny dose and going from that to zero, you see how horrible it is.
Tawny says that opiate users tend to think that detox is going to be worse than it is.
She's right. Particularly methadone addicts have what's called a pathological fear of withdrawal. The withdrawal is bad. Amber's was bad, but that's not as bad as it gets. But then, it's over in three days and that's that. What was impressive to me with Amber, I don't know how well it translated on camera but in person this was really striking: her sympathetic nervous system was so turned on. She was lit up like a candle. Her pupils were just blown, they were the size of saucers. She's was so affected by the withdrawal. It was very striking to see. Without her complaining, I could just see it.
When we see her in the common area at night, she's obviously struggling, but after that, the next morning, she seems fine.
That's the way that withdrawal is: it waxes and wanes. Usually about 4 in the afternoon, that's when people have trouble with it. I don't know why, but it's sort of the common bad time. For Amber, it was later.
Is the anticipation part of the withdrawal process?
It's worse than the withdrawal. I could get anybody off drugs, but here's the thing: opiate addicts have a pathological distortion that all they have to do is get off opiates and they'll be fine. Well, Amber knows that's not the case, because she's been through this enough times. The drive to do the opiates is what the addiction is about. Even when you're off the opiates, your brain is forever altered. That's the main priority in your life. You may not even be aware that you're seeking opiates, but your brain is.
We're introduced to Luisha this episode. Can you talk bout her?
Luisha works with Shelley, Bob and I. We needed somebody that's strong because this is a tough group. We needed someone who could withstand anything and still be OK regardless of the onslaught. Luisha and Shelly are a very powerful team. They're different in their approaches, but they're very, very powerful.
It seems that from the get-go, Luisha takes more heat than Shelly ever has.
Well, Luisha can withstand more. Shelly invests. She gets very involved with people. She's kind of like me in that way. As such, when people are having tough experiences, she gets affected by it more deeply. Luisha is much more of our staid, unmovable point. But she knows addiction very, very well. Addicts want to know that you care, and sometimes they feel like someone who's cold and tough doesn't care, even though Luisha does. So addicts will get angry about that. They want you to care about them. I understand that.
Tawny also wonders if Gary's in the right facility. Was it ever a question of yours that he was in need of additional or different treatment than rehab?
Well, when someone's admitted to a chemical-dependency unit, they have to be an addict. That's the criteria for admission. In our assessment of Gary, it was clear that he was an addict, he had all these consequences of addiction. It just wasn't clear what stages his addiction was in, and whether or not there were psychiatric pathologies and neurological pathologies that would make it impossible to treat him at this level of care. But even before I met this squad of patients, I was prepared to increase psychiatric and psychological services. I just had a feeling. I found last season they could tolerate that, and I wasn't sure at first how cameras would affect things. It was new territory. But since I found out they could tolerate it, I really wasn't concerned that Gary was in the wrong unit. I felt like we could figure it out.
You do that with the help of Dr. Sophy. Is he someone you worked with before?
Yes. I know him well. He's top-notch. He is a blessing to our team. He runs the largest foster-care system in the country. He's the director of the L.A. County Department for Child and Family Services. He's not only a board-certified psychiatrist, he's a board-certified family practitioner, which is something I look for in psychiatrists: to know what it is to be a doctor. He understands the complexity of the medical and psychiatric, which is always at play in addiction. And he's an extremely capable guy. In my opinion, he singlehandedly turned around a foster care system that was frankly a catastrophe to one of the shining examples of the L.A. County mental health system.
Gary has this notion of elevated status, and while that's annoying, it also nets results: he helps convince Jeff to stay out of what he perceives to be duty.
Gary is helpful to his peers. He ends up being more helpful than he could have imagined, but it's not the way he thought it was going to go. You can be a patient and be of service to your peers, but you also have to be an open, vulnerable, honest person yourself. This is just the beginning of Gary's waxing and waning relationship with his peers, where he's a problem and he's a help.
He also brings up the cameras with you, and I know that's not your area of concern. As a doctor, what's it like being the middleman between the patients and the producers?
It's stressful. We become representative of the producing team, and yet we're not producing on set. We're just trying to treat patients. At the same time, we're all under the sway of a television production. We all signed up for the television production. That's the weird layer in this thing. I want to ignore all that. I don't want anything to do with that. I just want to do treatment. And yet it lurks around. The TV part is there sometimes. It fools with my ability to read what the patients are experiencing, whether they're editing themselves or bulls***ting for the cameras. But more than that, their ability to trust me can be compromised by this feeling of, "Hey, is he really with us, or is he with the production guys?" I hate that.
That sort of mistrust is nothing new to you, though, right? As a highly visible doctor, I'm sure you get, "Oh, he's just some quack" all the time.
I don't get much of that from people I'm taking care of. I think once people come to me, they have a predisposition to be willing to trust me, and once they involved they understand that's what I'm doing. But I'll tell you what it does play on: addicts always have an issue with trust. It is the major issue: getting someone to trust you. So this set-up becomes a reason for them to pull back. It's a challenge.
Jeff's up to his old tricks again this episode. He says, "Just because I'm here, it doesn't mean my drug problem's going away." That's a very bleak outlook.
Well, here's one thing I've learned: don't assume what an addict says in the moment is going to persist. No matter what they declare, you just have to say, "Whatever." You keep it moving forward and see how it goes for the next couple of weeks.
You say that having Vicki next door is added stress. The situation of her being a door's width away is less than ideal, right?
It's less than ideal, but it's manageable. I was less disturbed by this than the episode would suggest. To me, this was no different than Vicki visiting like she always did last season. That was always disruptive and I'm sure it would have been this season, too.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC – The Hilbert College softball team turned things around on day two of the Fastpitch Dreams Classic when they soundly beat Johnson State 13-1 in the morning match after losing to them one day earlier. Unfortunately, the Hawks dropped the afternoon tilt 8-0 to Drew and lost a starter to injury.
Junior Emily Ripley had a break out game going three for four at the plate and whacking three doubles in the process in the Johnson State rematch. Freshman Rachel Collier, senior Halsey Baker and sophomore Natalie Whitman were productive with two hits apiece. Junior Devan Jonathan went the distance on the mound and earned her first win of the season.
Against Drew, the Hawks suffered through a game without Amber Grosch who took a trip to the hospital for evaluation of a knee injury. Baker and Whitman each had a double while Allison Hall and Collier hit singles in the loss.
The Hawks (1-3) return to action March 12 with games against Baptist Bible and Henry Ford Community College.

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.
