No. Country 1, Milton 0
MILTON Mara Spates' goal in the second half was the difference as the Falcons defeated the Yellow Jackets to improve to 2-1 this season.
"It was a beautiful game," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard. "The play was very even, and fortunately we came out on top."
In addition to scoring the Falcons' goal, Spates was very instrumental in the team's overall play, contributing anything that was needed to help move North Country down the field.
Said Bouchard, "She had a great game. She was everywhere we wanted her to be, and her goal was absolutely awesome."
Myrriah Gonyaw had 10 saves to earn the shut-out, while North Country put a total of 12 shots on the Milton netminder.
The Falcons will finally make their home debut on Friday when they host Montpelier at 4:30.
No. Country 3, Lyndon 0
LYNDON CENTER-Wednesday's contest featured the return of Ruffie Palin and Dana Marsh to the North Country line-up, and the pair made an immediate impact, each scoring a goal in the first half in the Falcons' win over Lyndon Institute.
"It makes all the difference in the world having Ruffie and Dana back," said North Country coach James McKenny. "We played a good brand of soccer on Wednesday, although we are still looking for that full eighty minute effort."
Palin got the scoring started for North Country when he put one home ten minutes into the contest.
Marsh's goal, which came ten minutes after Ruffie's, was the prettiest of the three tally's the Falcons would score.
It all started in goal, with NCU keeper Ryan Paul feeding the ball to Palin. Palin then got it up to Kaeden Beswick, who one touched it to Marsh.
Marsh finished the job, sending the ball into the cage for Falcon goal number two.
Connor St. Onge capped off the scoring ten minutes later.
In the second half, North Country slowed up a little, but were still able to preserve the win and the shut-out.
Paul had 8 saves in the win, and the Falcons move to 2-2 on the year.
Next up is a rematch against BFA St. Albans on Saturday.
Game time is 10 AM.

Wednesday, January 12, 2011The Lipscomb Lady Bisons preparation for their first "Battle of the Boulevard" meeting with Belmont this season has been a little different than in past seasons.
After playing five games in 10 days, including a 57-53 loss to North Florida Monday, the Lady Bisons took a day off Tuesday. They practiced Wednesday, but head coach Frank Bennett was under the weather.
The two rivals will tip-off at 4:30 at the Curb Center Thursday. The Lady Bisons are 7-8, 4-2 in the Atlantic Sun. Belmont is 6-9, 3-3 in the conference.
"Belmont has a good inside-out game," assistant coach Billy Snell said as he filled in for Bennett during the Lipscomb Fastbreak luncheon. "Haley Nelson is their leading scorer on the inside. They also have good guards that can shoot.
"It is a good balance. You have to help on defense. You have to be in two places at one time or they are going to burn you if you aren't there. They run a lot of sets and have a lot of movement. We have to communicate and be where we are supposed to be."
The Lady Bisons are led by guards Jenna Bartsokas with 15.5 points per game and Anna Bowers with 14.1. Center Brittany Duerk is leading in rebounds with 5.3 per game.
"We have experienced some success at Belmont and that means a lot," Snell said. "Knowing that you have experienced success is a big thing."
The coaching staff didn't need to spend a great deal of time on the Belmont scouting report. Both teams are familiar with each other.
"Our players know all the Belmont players' names and Belmont's players know our names," Snell said. "The kids know numbers and the strengths and weaknesses of Belmont's players. It is a fun game to play."

Chemicals: ECHA draft working proramme 2013 - 15 Opublikowano w dniu : 12/04/2012, Ostatnia aktualizacja: 13/04/2012
- Ostateczny termin:
- 12/06/2012.
Five years after its adoption, the REACH Regulation is still the most ambitious and comprehensive chemicals legislation in the world.
The aims of the legislation are to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment while enhancing competitiveness and innovation. The ECHA agency (European Chemicals Agency) was created to manage and coordinate the implementation of REACH on the EU and Member State level and to harmonise enforcement. REACH is complemented by the Classification and Labelling Regulation (CLP), which brings the EU in line with the UN-wide classification and labelling system for chemicals, which will ensure that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers.
The difficult economic outlook for all of us – Member States, the EU, and companies throughout Europe – requires the Agency to prioritise its work, taking account of its means i.e. its staff, the budget available from fees and from subsidies awarded by the European Commission. This prioritisation process is helped by the Agency's founding regulations, which often set clear deadlines by which work should be done. However, as there are still many areas in which subjective decisions need to be taken, the ECHA Board agreed upon four strategic aims which have guided the Agency in setting priorities for its activities in this multi-annual work programme:
- Maximise the availability of high quality data to enable the safe manufacture and use of chemicals.
- Mobilise authorities to use data intelligently to identify and address chemicals of concern.
- Address scientific challenges by serving as a hub for building the scientific and regulatory capacity of Member States, European institutions and other actors.
- Embrace current and new legislative tasks efficiently and effectively, while adapting to upcoming resource constraints.
ECHA is keen to hear your perspective on the strategic aims and on the priorities chosen for the coming three years.

The release of the HTC Dream marked the debut of Android technology, with the exception of a T-Mobile model that was previously available only in the US. While not the most sophisticated smart phone out there, many will find its large, responsive touch screen and quick operating speed on the Android platform to be more than acceptable. On the front face below the touch screen, are several buttons including a trackball and core keys for easy navigation and calling. Located on a slide underneath the touch screen you will find a full service QWERTY keyboard with five rows of keys that have a nice feel and are well spaced. A 3.2MP camera with auto-focus is included on the phone, but a flash is missing which can make a good picture hard to get unless the lighting is just right. The Dream's display is crisp with a resolution of 320x480, which is great for everyday use and the touch screen is highly responsive to touch and accurate as it should be.
Internet connectivity appears to be one of the HTC Dream phone's strongest attributes, with quick response on internet browsing, downloads and even receiving GPS signals where many other devices lose connection. While the Wi-Fi connectivity can prove to be handy, it can seriously cut into the battery life if left on constantly, a source of many grumbles across the web. Chances are you do not need the internet connected at all times though, and in that case, the batteries life can be well extended. The browser can view most websites in HTML and has Java support, leaving the only websites that cannot be viewed as ones running FLASH. The HTC Dream has certainly opened the door to Google's Android platform, proving that despite a rather low internal memory Google can create software to run a device much more efficiently and quickly than other developers have figured out. Depending on your needs in a SmartPhone, HTC Dream may be just the right combination of large touch screen with accurate keyboard and fast internet connection.

Dons0's wrote:It'd be nice if the offense would get out of this slump and give the pitching some support. I also think Adair should be fired at the end of the season, there is really no improvement in our pitching besides Tillman/Chen. We are picking up solid starters yet rank almost last in every pitching category. Something needs to change,.
Seafordeagles wrote:
Last year Adair was the savior and this year he's crap. It's so easy to blame the pitching coach. It's his fault that Jim Johnson blew those saves, it's his fault that Pedro Strop flat out sucked, it's his fault that Hammel has struggled.
Don't fault the players, blame the pitching coach. Makes a ton of sense to me, yeah let's fire him.
Dons0's wrote:Why not put some of the blame on him?? We have had all this young talent, yet this team can't seem to develop any of it besides Tillman when they finally make it to the bigs.

I understand that the pitchers are the ones out there on the field, but to have a blind eye and get ticked off when some one calls out Adair after this team hasn't had good pitching in the longest time, to seem unfair? Is pathetic.
osforlife wrote:Norris gives us another middle of the rotation starter to go with Chen, Gonzalez, and Tillman for next year. But is he really worth two of our top ten prospects, and what would be another top ten prospect next year? Ugh. Someday, when I'm GM...........
The Orioles announced the signing of Dariel Alvarez, a 24-year-old outfielder from Cuba. Alvarez had modest numbers in his final season Cuba and the skeptical scouting reports to match. Playing for Camaguey in Serie Nacional in 2011-12, Alvarez hit .272/.343/.392 in 319 plate appearances, which puts him a little below league average in both on-base percentage and slugging in the Cuban league, and eighth on his own team in OBP.
Scouts didn't have many positive things to say about Alvarez. Several scouts said he struggles against live pitching, with an uppercut righthanded swing that has effort in it to try to lift the ball with occasional power. His best tool is his arm, and at one point there was talk about Alvarez converting to pitching, but the Orioles signed him as a hitter.
Alvarez, who is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, did hit better the previous season in Cuba in 2010-11, when he batted .363/.404/.613 with 20 home runs in 376 plate appearances, his only productive season in the league. The Orioles said Alvarez will report to high Class A Frederick after reporting to Sarasota this week. His signing is not subject to the 2013-14 international bonus pools.
Seafordeagles wrote:
Trust me, I'm not ticked off and i'm also not pathetic in thinking that the blame goes on Adair. The easiest thing to say (and I think it's a major cop out on your part) is to "fire the pitching coach".
I'm also pretty sure that there have been "countless" times that he has told our pitchers to get ahead in the counts. YES, I blame the pitchers for not getting ahead in the counts, NOT THE PITCHING COACH. I blame the pitchers for throwing a crap fast ball down the middle of the plate when they have 2 strikes on the batter. Yes I blame the pitchers for walking too many hitters.
These are professional baseball players not little leaguers and it's the same pitching coach who did a marvelous job last year and it's the same pitching coach this year.
Dons0's wrote: Adair is part of the issue
Dons0's wrote:Then why have pitching coaches? I don't understand, for Adair to not take some of the blame is just looking the other way. I'm not saying the staff should hold themselves accountable, but Adair is part of the issue.
Seafordeagles wrote:
Your first sentence is absolutely absurd and ridiculous, so I won't address that statement. The issue is YOU made him the issue, only you, and no one but you.
Another thing you are here stating you want Adair fired when in reality you have no clue what Adair does. You have no clue what he says to the pitchers during the game, after the game, or before the game. You see him as the scapegoat. I see him as an asset who is well respected pitching coach in major league baseball.
ofahn wrote:With all due respect you've answered your own questions.
Rick Adair is the MAJOR LEAGUE pitching coach. He can only work with what has been sent to him. If a pitcher has had incomplete development in the minor leagues you can't blame that on someone who doesn't have any contact with these pitchers until they reach Baltimore.
I think we also must be realistic about the quality of SP talent we have right now. Chen is somewhere between a #2 and #3 SP with the upside of a #2. Tillman is between a #3 and #4 SP with the upside of a #2. Gonzalez and Feldman have the upside of a #3, and Norris a #4. This is NOT the 1971 starting rotation.
Again, this is a DEVELOPMENTAL problem. We have a long history of rushing pitchers to Baltimore before they're ready. Instead of teaching them how to get ML hitters - players that don't swing at everything that's thrown at them - out, we let them rack up big minor league numbers and then act surprised that they aren't ready for prime time.
Look at Gausman. IMO he clearly wasn't ready to be promoted and showed it. Now he's back in AAA learning how to get ML hitters out and is resistant to changing his approach because he thinks he's just a phone call away from Baltimore. IMO the best thing about over paying for Norris is that Gausman will now know that he'll be at Norfolk until at least September 1st and will now have no other choice but to listen to the instruction he's being given. I wouldn't be surprised to see a significant improvement through the upcoming month.

How many windows are open on your PC's desktop right now?
Too many?
We designed Windows 7 to help you clear that desktop clutter and find what you need, fast.
A PC running Windows 7.
The Aero desktop environment (for some features). What's that?
Thumbnail previews can be a big help when you're juggling lots of windows. Point to a program's icon on the
Windows 7 taskbar, and you'll see miniature views of your documents, images, and even live videos.
Point to the thumbnail, and Peek morphs it to a full-sized view. All the other open windows temporarily disappear. How's that for laser-like focus?
In the past, the Quick Launch toolbar offered shortcuts to the programs you needed to get to quickly. Now you can simply "pin" programs (and files) to the
Windows 7 taskbar, where you'll be able to open them with one click. It's easy to rearrange your lineup of taskbar buttons—just click and drag them. And Jump Lists give you quick access to what you use the most—like frequently-viewed websites or favorite documents.
Ever need to compare two documents side-by-side? In the past, you'd have to manually resize the windows. With Snap, you just drag two windows to either side of your screen and they'll snap into place opposite each other. Snap a window to the top of the screen and it expands to fill the desktop.
With Shake, you can click the top of a window and give your mouse a shake to minimize all the other windows. Shake again, and the other windows return.
Windows 7 has some great tools for helping you manage your workspace and lots of ways to personalize your desktop's look and feel—themes, wallpapers, and more. But it's got a lot going for it under the hood, too. We heard from customers that what they wanted most was pretty simple: a fast, reliable PC. So that was at the top of our engineers' to-do list. Windows 7 was designed to sleep and resume faster, and to be less memory- and battery-hungry.

According to a study conducted by Australian scientists, the Chinese meditative exercise known as tai chi may relieve joint pain in arthritis sufferers.
Tai chi consists of a series of 19 movements and one pose and has long been believed to bring about physical and spiritual health benefits.
The research was led by Amanda Hall of the George Institute in Sydney and focused on the effectiveness of tai chi in decreasing pain and disability and improving physical function and quality of life in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
It was based on a review of seven trials that used tai chi as the main intervention for patients with arthritis-associated pain. The results suggested the technique not only decreased pain but also improved overall physical health, lowered tension levels and boosted participants' satisfaction with their health situation.
The study was published in the June issue of Arthritis Care & Research where the authors wrote that "[t]he fact that tai chi is inexpensive, convenient and enjoyable, and conveys other psychological and social benefits, supports the use this type of intervention for pain conditions such as arthritis."
As healthcare costs escalate in the U.S, it has also been reported that another Chinese medicine technique, known as medical tai chi or quiqong, is emerging as a major health resource to help to boost immunity.

LOUISVILLE - With temperatures expected to be bitterly cold for the next several days, officials in the town of Louisville can rest easy knowing their municipal building will be staying warm without breaking the bank for the towns taxpayers.
This winter the town is heating its town offices, town court and the highway departments garage with a wood pellet heating system that was paid for in large part by a grant from the River Valley Development Agency.
Town Councilman Daniel OKeefe, who wrote the application, said the grant paid for $90,000 of the $110,000 project.
Last year, he said the town used more than 5,000 gallons of fuel oil, the equivalent of 42.4 tons of wood pellets.
Were going to see a $10,000 to $12,000 savings this year, he said, explaining the project will pay for itself (the towns portion) in just two years.
Its definitely a combination of having a more efficient heating system and a cheaper fuel source, Mr. OKeefe said, adding the town has a three-year contract with Curran Renewables, giving them a three-year price guarantee, something that Mr. OKeefe said the town board is grateful for.
He (Curran Renewables owner Patrick Curran) runs a great business here in Louisville and has always been great to the town, Mr. OKeefe said.
Mr. OKeefe said work on the new system started last spring and was completed in September by Merkley Brothers Heating and Cooling LLC, Heuvelton.
Its working pretty good. Its been running the whole season, and the oil boiler hasnt kicked on yet, he said, noting one oil boiler remains as a backup heating system.
It heats up the room quickly and actually shuts off, Mr. OKeefe said.
Thats something the towns previous heating system did not do.
Previously the heat was just in the floors, but now we have two big fan-forced heaters in the truck bay, he said. When the garage doors opened in the past, all of the hot air would leave the building and then it took a while to heat back up again.
Mr. OKeefe also said hes appreciative of the work done by Merkley Brothers, as well as the sacrifices made by the towns highway crew.
I think Merkley Brothers did a great job. They worked here for several months and even before this project theyve worked here in this building before correcting some of the layout of the out old heating system, he said. We should also thank our highway crew. They sacrificed some space out there and also had their work space rearranged because of the new boilers.

Carbon School District will host the area's annual science fair in the Mont Harmon Junior High gymnasium on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18.
Displays of the science projects from students from all schools entered will be on exhibit in the junior high's gym on Thursday afternoon.
Judging is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m.
The projects will also be on display on Friday afternoon. Friday evening, an awards ceremony will take place as well.
For additional information on the event, Carbon County residents may contact Mont Harmon Junior High School at 637-0510.
Carbon High administration has made the decision to lock all outside doors, except the front entrance, on the building after 8:30 a.m. on school days.
The purpose behind the decision is to protect students and staff from potential problems that could occur from outside sources.
During school hours, people must enter through the front door and go directly to the office to get a visitors pass.
The move to the security system at the school was recently implemented and is already in effect.
Residents with questions regarding the security plan may contact Carbon High at 637-2463.
The Carbon County Chamber of Commerce will hosts the organization's annual board installation banquet on Jan. 24 at the Holiday Inn in Price.
All chamber members and guests from the Carbon County community are encouraged to plan on attending the banquet.
Each year, the chamber presents the banquet to show appreciation to the people who have served the community and the individuals who will be working to help the Carbon County area grow economically in the coming year.
Residents interested in attending the event may contact the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce's executive director, Ann Evans, at 637-2788.

Taylor Swift on track to set record amid breakup rumors
Taylor Swift is on track to join the very short list of artists and groups who've had back-to-back albums sell a million units in a week.
In the Nielsen SoundScan era, which dates back to 1991, just the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and Eminem have accomplished the fete, each with albums releasing between 1999 and 2002, Billboard reports.
If Swift's "Red" hits the million mark by Sunday, the country-pop princess will become the first artist in a decade, and first ever female, to achieve the same success. Her last studio album, "Speak Now," sold more than a million units during its debut week in November 2010.
But before we go deeming this Swift's (potential) "best week ever," we should note, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer reportedly parted ways with beau Conor Kennedy, according to US Weekly.
"It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They're fine," a source told the magazine.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Governor's speech was longer than expected and drew lots of reaction from Republicans and Democrats.
The governor wants school choice for every student, more charter schools and a report card on school quality. His education Commissioner Steve Bowen said tonight that public accountability is overdue.
But the governor also had tough words for school superintendents and the teachers union, a strong ally of Democrats. While Democratic leaders said they have nothing against charter schools, they weren't ready to embrace his plan.
"What Democrats said we want was, we want strong schools we want great teachers in the classroom and we want to put students first," said Sen. Justin Alfond, (D) Portland. "We don't believe this policy is ready for prime time and I think that was two years ago rejected by a republican legislature. So I don't know what's changed in two years to support this policy today."
Republican leaders not surprisingly gave strong support to the Governor's plan
"We have declining enrollment in our state over the last ten years from roughly 200,000 to 180,000 and we have rising costs," said Rep. Ken Fredette, (R) Newport. "We can't reconcile those numbers without it eating away at other parts of the budget.
Both parties talked about a "new tone" in the relationship between the governor and legislators. For the first time since they were elected three months ago, LePage sat down Monday with Democratic leaders. Both Republicans and Democrats said it was a good and fresh start.

We love Groundhog Day and we love S'mores so why not put them together...right?! We had fun making these Groundhog S'mores Pops the other day and they are pretty easy to make! My boys loved them!
Groundhog S'mores Pops
(makes 2)
4 Graham Crackers
4 Chocolate Graham Crackers
2 Chocolate Chips
2 Mini Chocolate Chips
Chocolate Cookie Frosting (Betty Crocker)
2 Jumbo Marshmallows (Jet-Puffed)
3 Mini Marshmallows
2 Lollipop Sticks
Start out by cutting the chocolate graham crackers into circles using a round cookie cutter or kitchen scissors. Then poke your lollipop stick in the middle making the hole. Take a regular graham crackers and cut out the Groundhog head using kitchen scissors. Cut little feet from the scraps. Use that as a guide to make 3 more. Cut the jumbo marshmallows in half. Cut the mini marshmallows in half. We decorated the Groundhog faces first using the chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, & marshmallows. We attached with the chocolate frosting. We attached the marshmallow halves to the chocolate graham crackers using the frosting. Then we pushed our stick through like this....
Attach the other chocolate graham on top. We attached the Groundhog heads the same way and then pushed the stick through. We attached the feet with frosting.
Here is a side view....

Rent levels - how rent charges are set
How your rent is set
The rent for each individual property will be changed from April 2014 in line with the national rent formula introduced by the Government in 2002. The formula takes into account the average earnings for the West Midlands, the number of bedrooms in the property and the valuation of that property at 1999 prices. The rent charged from April 2014 will increase the average annual rent levels for 2014/15 by 5.80 per cent when compared with the average charged for 2013/14. This is the average across the city and some tenants may see a slightly higher or slightly lower increase than this average.
How do we decide how much to increase your rent by?
Any rent increases use the Retail Price Index (RPI) as a factor in setting the increase. The RPI measures the rate of inflation in the UK, and rent increases are set using the RPI that applied in the previous September. This is 3.2% for 2014/15.
We also limit rent increases so that an increase in the annual rent charged cannot be higher than RPI + 0.5% + £2 per week.
How your service charge levels are set
Service Charges are set in line with national guidelines that say they have to be separated from the rent for your property and fully cover the costs of providing that particular service. A range of service charges (but not all) are payable depending on the services provided to tenants and may include concierge, cleaning communal lighting and sheltered accommodation.
The council put into place a policy of recovering the full service costs over a five-year period from October 2002 to October 2007. This is now complete and charges are now made for the actual cost of the service. Service charges will increase by 1.75 per cent from April 2014 to reflect the increasing costs of service delivery. The majoy exception to this is the Concierge & Night-time Security Service that is subject to a fundamental review and will be the subject of a separate report to a future cabinet meeting (service charges will be kept at 2013/14 levels for this service).
All service charges are separately calculated for each district to reflect local service costs and will also be levied over a 48 week cycle alongside the weekly rent.

Why is Birmingham City Council putting up rent?
We, like most other local authorities, are increasing all of our rents in line with a formula laid down by the government. Social housing providers have followed this formula for over ten years.
Why is the percentage rent increase so high when interest rates are so low at the moment?
The government issues an annual statement which contains the formula for calculating the rent increases see how your rent is set. The rent is calculated over 48 weeks and not 52 weeks which means that the rent increase might appear bigger than it is.
What is the formula that is used to calculate the rent increase?
See 'How your rent is set' at the top of this page.
Has the rent on my garage increased?
Yes, the average garage rent has increased from £5.44 a week to £5.87 a week. This is an average increase of 7.9%. For further information visit our Renting a Garage page.

Reports: Borealis to cease HDPE production at Burghausen, focus site on PP
August 1, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Borealis will close permanently its 175,000-m.t./year high-density polyethylene (HDPE) production line at Burghausen, Germany, by the end of next year, according to reports in the German media. One of the reasons cited is the difficult economic environment for polyolefins. Borealis had not returned requests for comment by press time. Borealis will continue operating its two polypropylene (PP) lines at the Burghausen site. The two plants have a total annual capacity of 570,000 m.t., according to IHS Chemical data. Borealis expects the planned HDPE closure...

I have a user registration based website and desktop app in beta testing. I only have a small number of users, but am beginning to plan my email list practice to cater for a larger list.
I have a couple of questions if anyone experienced can help out:
1. do user registration sites with a reasonable sized member base typically use services like Get Response, or do they somehow use an internal system?
2. at the moment I'm planning the code that will let users change their details, such as their email, and it occured to me that if I did eventually use an email service as mentioned above, how does such a service keep track of an action such as a user deciding changing their email address on your website (using php and mysql)?
Thanks for your time and help guys.

Hi, My name is Jim, a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Through God's grace, the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the AA fellowship I have not found it necessary to consume an alcoholic beverage since 05/09/2005. I am an alcoholic - I am unable to quit drinking alcohol using my own will power and once I start drinking I have no control over the amount I consume.
What it was like, what happened, and what it is like now:
My father's side of the family is Italian/Lithuanian and my mother's side is Blackfoot Indian/English. My mother and father separated when I was 7 years old after dad woke me up in the middle of the night announcing his plans for divorce and presenting me with a choice - who do I want to live with? I chose dad and left that night with him, only to be brought back to my mom the next day. They divorced two years later and I rarely saw dad after he left. My father was an alcoholic and he died from complications associated with the disease of alcoholism at the age of 42.
Mom took on the task of raising me by herself and over the next few years we lived in various places sometimes in squalid conditions. Mom worked nights for a few years and when I didn't have a babysitter I was taking care of myself. Mother met and married my soon to be step father when I was 14 years old and we moved again to another state.
I didn't do very well in school and had an overall sense things just weren't right. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin and believed there was something wrong with me though I didn't know what it could be. I couldn't relate to people very well and learned early they couldn't be trusted. I felt it was better to be by myself than be around people who lied to me, cheated me, stole from me, and tried to steal my soul. My grades in school were horrible and reflected how I felt about myself and life in general.
I had my first drink when I was 16/17 years old and I believed the experience was fantastic. After the alcohol entered my blood stream I felt a sense of calm and relaxation I had never before felt. I found the courage to do and say whatever I felt inspired to do and I knew I found a new friend.
My first black out was at 18 years old and I was sick in a way I had never experienced before - puking all over me, my bedroom, and bathroom in the middle of the night. Next day I vowed to never drink again. Six months later I joined the Air Force and after arriving at tech school began several years of daily blackout drinking.
I had experienced lots of trouble over the years. I didn't get in trouble every time I drank but, every time I got in trouble I had been drinking. I missed a lot of my life as much of it was spent in blackouts. I've been in fights, car accidents, hospitals, and nearly was arrested several times resulting from drinking. I've never been an in-patient at a rehab but have spent many days as an out-patient off and on over the years.
May, 03, 1991 I woke up in the basement of my house not remembering a thing from the day before; I was at work and started drinking. I don't remember much after the second drink. What I've been told and some of what I remember, my wife was missing me and came to my place of work and found me flat on my back passed out in a pool of red vomit; That was on a Thursday. On Friday I awoke feeling a fear I had never felt before or since and had gone to see my father in-law who was in AA and spent the day with him. On Saturday, I was in my first meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous and admitted for the first time in a group I am an alcoholic, I'm powerless over alcohol, and my life is unmanageable.
I immersed myself into the AA program working the steps, stayed close to the fellowship, and for the next 8 years, 9 months, and 20 days I did not drink.
Just after the 7th year of sobriety I decided I did not want to be in the military anymore and began to place my attention on "Life after Air Force". My thoughts/actions, day and night, began to be more occupied with the life Jim wanted. March, 31, 1999 I left the service and stopped going to AA meetings. By day I ran my own business and by night I worked for a major retail chain, sleeping three to four hours a day. I left my wife December 23, 1999, on February, 23, 2000 I picked up my first drink after convincing myself I could do so safely, and on May, 30, 2000 I was legally divorced.
Two months after I started drinking again I knew I was in trouble and felt powerless to do anything about it. The thought of returning to AA was one not seriously entertained for the thought was treated as "been there, done that" kinda thing. Over the next 5 years I changed jobs (lost one due to drinking), moved a few times, bought an old house, and remarried.
I was drinking and passing out on an almost daily basis. Feeling sick and trembling every day was normal behavior; I came too in the morning and passed out at night - almost daily.
February, 2005 my wife attempted suicide with prescription pills while I was sitting in the same room and didn't know it in my drunken stupor. She survived that attempt because she said goodbye to one of her sisters over the phone and her sister became concerned and came over to the house. I was incoherent and unable to attend to my wife while her sister instructed me to call 911 as she attempted life saving measures.
May, 5, 2005 my wife came home from work and retired to a back bedroom and spent 2 days in a prescription drug induced coma of which I did nothing about because pride was going to hold me back from seeking help. I didn't want to deal with the situation and did not want to have to explain to anyone the dysfunctional lifestyle we were living in - I continued to drink. On the evening of May, 7, 2005 I woke up from being passed out to finding my wife standing over me with a knife in her hand. She was talking and acting strange and was not of this world and after an altercation she left the house in the car. I continued to drink and pass out; she got into a car wreck and was Baker acted into the Pavilion (involuntarily committed).
I had my last drink on May, 8, 2005 and on the morning of May, 9, 2005 I experienced a moment of clarity in which I could see with perfect sight the life I had created for myself and how I was killing myself and enabling self destructive behavior in others. I was suddenly overcome with shame, guilt, and remorse with an intensity I have never before felt. I detoxed at home and it was hell and while still trembling on May, 11, 2005 I entered the Crossroads Group and asked for help.
My wife has completed an in-patient rehab treatment and is actively pursuing a life "Clean and Serene" in another fellowship one day at a time and is active in her program, currently Secretary of her group. I have completed the steps and work them daily. I strive to actively practice the principles in the AA program on a daily basis and currently serve the fellowship in capacity as Secretary of my group.
I relearned when a relapse starts (before the first drink). There were some things contributing to my relapse - I stopped praying, meditating, going to meetings, and step work. The result is the old thinking and ideas began to creep in. I once again became self-seeking and took my sobriety for granted and grew complacent. I stopped enlarging my spiritual life - I became spiritually dead.
I cannot bring back the past and believe it is best released, forgiven, and forgotten, only recalled for the purpose of showing others how help was received. My wisest action is to use the tools of the AA program to reach the maturity and well-being that brings happiness and sense of purpose into my life - one day at a time.
My life continues to improve today with the help of my Higher Power, 12 Steps, AA Fellowship, and sponsor. I have a whole new attitude today and I am reminded of my number one priority - My SOBRIETY.

Jim, Thank you for sharing your story. Sorry this is a late thank you...
I'm really glad you're here with us. I appreciate reading your sharing.
While I was reading your story, I thought of what I've been hearing my sponsor say for the last few days... in regards to how the alcoholic, in recovery, will just up and quit what he's doing that's working... without even thinking about it. Kind of like when the alcoholic would quit drinking... up until he would quit quiting drinking.
Cunning. Baffling. And, Powerful. And, the Good news is...as you know, through the 12 Steps, we really can tap into a Higher Power, or God, (evidently the same thing with different names)... that will assist us to do what we have been able to do on our own.
Thank you for sharing Jim.

One of the difficulties with my physical recovery from surgery is that it has thrown all my recovery routines that work into disarray. The surgery, hospitalization, and recuperation at home have all brought changes that have made me think more about what I need to do each day to maintain spiritual fitness that leads to contented sobriety.
Something that I learned in AA as a way to manage big changes is to go back to the basics of recovery. Nothing fancy. I focus on 12 Step foundational stuff. I pray simply. I pay attention to deadend thoughts and emotional cul de sacs.

As prices surge, inflation rises and customer service languishes, Brazil's consumers are growing increasingly anxious about the cost of living. But while Brazilians have battled many frustrations over the years, for the first time they are turning to the Internet as a platform for airing grievances, commiserating and mobilizing the crowd.
With prices climbing steadily higher ahead of the World Cup, some residents of Rio de Janeiro have set up a Facebook group, Rio $urreal – Não Pague [Don't Pay], focused on "exposing and boycotting the extortionate prices being charged by bars, restaurants and shops," as The Guardian reports this week. ("Surreal," a reference to the craziness of current costs, is a pun on Brazil's currency, the real.) The page has garnered more than 179,000 likes, and what started in Rio has now expanded to São Paulo, Brasilia and Belém. As we explain in our recent report "The Brazil Opportunity: A Guide for Marketers," there's also BoicotaSP, another Facebook outlet where consumers identify businesses or brands they believe are exploitative, with the list serving as a database of places to boycott. And Reclame Aqui (Complain Here) is a website where Brazilians can post complaints about brands, products and customer service.
Brazil's newly empowered "citizen consumers" are engaged and ready to challenge both government and business, aided by digital tools. As Brazilians take a more active role in shaping their world, they will not only fight perceived offenses committed by marketers but also expect brands to work with them to make things better. Heineken's Delegates app, for instance, allows users to comment on bars they patronize and suggest ways to improve the experience.

Nice rice is back!
Posted by admin under Beijing China , Chinese Food , No Comments
The legendary Nice Rice Hunan restaurant is back in a back alley hutong just a few blocks north of the line 6 dong si subway station.
23 Dongsi Ertiao
City Area:
10 8408-4345
The new space is not as funky as the old but all the favorites are still on the menu, that is if you can read it. Sole menu is on the large polygonal chalk board on the wall in Chinese. Recommend the fish head, braised cauliflower, ribs, and the rice vegetable soup.
And definitely get a growler of tsingtao beer!

Dark rum gets its colour from oak ageing. The intense tropical heat expands and contracts the barrels and the wood becomes porous, like a sponge, forcing the spirit in and out of the oak. This adds all of the flavours present in wood – sweetness, vanillin, tannins etc. Rum is often aged in bourbon and sherry barrels and this in turn brings additional flavours - a raisiny, syrupy sweetness in the case of sherry ageing, or toasty vanilla and smoke from bourbon barrel maturation.

MASSENA With $30,190 in revenue, Massena Recreation Superintendent Richard A. Boprey called January a very strong month for the Massena Arena.
Mr. Boprey told Massena Joint Recreation Commission members last week that money came from a number of sources, including arena ice rental, games, events and public skating fees, which include shinny hockey sessions.
Arena advertising for the month was $1,450, he said. Concession sales were strong, up $1,400 from the previous month, Mr. Boprey said.
The figures dont include payments from SUNY Potsdam, whose mens hockey team is using the arena this season while its home ice at Maxcy Hall undergoes renovation. But, Mr. Boprey said, with the Bears home season winding down, he anticipates payment for the 10 contracted games will arrive soon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Wrapping up the 2012 regular season, the Lipscomb baseball team makes its shortest trip of the year this week for a key Atlantic Sun Conference series at rival Belmont beginning on Thursday night at E.S. Rose Park at 5 p.m.
The Bisons (25-27, 14-10 A-Sun) enter the "Battle of the Boulevard" series tied for third in the A-Sun standings along with the Bruins (32-21, 14-10 A-Sun). Lipscomb needs either one win or a loss by either Florida Gulf Coast or Mercer to clinch a berth in the A-Sun Tournament hosted next week by Stetson in DeLand, Fla.
Lipscomb heads into the final weekend two and a half games out of first trailing USC Upstate and one game out of second place behind Stetson.
Senior righty Connor Sinclair (6-3, 2.95 ERA) will get the start on Thursday night for the Bisons as Lipscomb looks to improve to 8-4 in series openers. Sinclair will go head-to-head with Belmont's Chase Brookshire (6-3, 2.43 ERA). The Bisons have not determined starters for the final two games of the series.
The Bruins will send righty Matt Hamann (3-5, 4.34 ERA) to the mound on Friday night before southpaw James Buckelew (6-1, 2.34 ERA) makes the start on Saturday for Belmont.
Belmont holds the lowest overall ERA in the A-Sun with a 3.28 team mark but the Bisons have outdueled the Bruins with a league-best 3.17 ERA in league play. The two teams also sit atop the league defensive standing with Belmont holding the slimmest .979-.978 advantage in fielding percentage.
Neither team holds an advantage in the all-time series as each team has 15 wins.
Admission is free for all three games at E.S.Rose Park. Belmont will also carry all three contests live online on ASunTV.
Belmont has suggested parking in either the lots off of Edgehill Avenue on either side of Easley Community Center or the lot behind Carter Lawrence Elementary. The Bruins recommend that you not park in the lot off of 12th Avenue and remind you to lock your car and do not leave any valuables in sight.

We'll respond shortly.
Desert has been upgraded to work with Rails 2, solving problems with ActionMailer templates and Rails load paths.
A reminder: RSpec supports nested describe blocks. This can be useful for sharing setup and also for organization (one describe per method being tested, with multiple it blocks). Some people reported that there are some issues when using nested describe blocks with fixture scenarios. There was also a report of some flakiness around a single it block being run more than once.
One of our projects has reported that they have been using NetBeans and are happy with it.
Hey, thanks for desert btw. Just trying it out and it looks mighty sweet.
Having a bit of trouble tho and cant seem to figure it out..
Everything works perfect if the name of the plugin loads first of all (eg, is called 001myplugr something)
But! if its not the routes in the plug never gets loaded.
Known issue or have I done something strange? =)
erhm.. strike that comment =)
It had to do with the active_merchant plugin, without that it works lika a charm.
So I guess we will just have to dig a bit deeper before panic-posting comments like this next time..
Could you please share why you created your own app-plugin solution? I am currently looking at using engines, but am very interested in what you thought might be missing. Thank you!

This books contains images from a December, 2011 visit to the national wildlife refuge and surrounding area. We experienced dust storms, rain, a blizzard, and freezing temperatures. But nothing kept us from getting the photos.
Bird watching, cultural travel, and photography have taken my wife and me to six continents and over fifty countries. Exploring the world has also helped me greater appreciate the diversity and unique beauty of our home in Grapevine, Texas. I enjoy photographing the natural world of flora and fauna, landscapes, and people. As my skills as a photographer have increased, I have became more interested in the details of composition, lighting, and photographing different subjects. Though initially reluctant to photograph people because it seemed too intrusive, I now especially enjoy the challenge of capturing an expression, mood, or perspective in candid street portraits. My coffee table books attempt to capture and present all of these elements in an aesthetically pleasing way. I offer photography classes through the Grapevine and Southlake, TX Park and Recreation departments and also offer small group and private lessons.

Skill Ranking
This update renovates the skill ranking system with a new algorithm that places a greater emphasis on individual performance in team games and more aggressively uses a "draw margin" for evaluating that individual performance. A new scaling factor allows a short probationary period where new players' skill rating movement is more volatile until a suitable confidence level is found and then the volatility is dialed in. The new algorithm considers historical performance as a peer with the performance of the latest match.
We've also recalculated all player's skill ranking with the new algorithm using the last two months of match data so that players can immediately benefit from the improved ranking. In partnership with the changes in matchmaking, players should have a much more stable and predictable experience getting in to matches.
The probationary period for skill ranking new players means that the first few matches may not be particularly well matched, as the system needs data to properly identify the skill level of a player. The skill ranking system will have a general idea of a player's skill in about five matches and a very good idea in about twenty.
This update brings matchmaking changes that should drastically improve the ability of players to find an appropriately skilled match. Servers will now start primarily in three skill based tiers that break down by game type into approximately 25% of the player base, 50% of the intermediately skilled player base, and the top 25% of players. Additionally, a small protected haven is available for the least skilled players to sharpen their skills before joining up into other matches.
The server launching infrastructure will generally create servers for all skill tiers in all locations. Additionally, when a server at a particular skill tier reaches capacity, another new server is spawned ready for players to join and begin another match.
The new server tiers have several implications:
- The player base is much less segmented, providing more quality matches for all players.
- Much less server spawning management overhead will allow server counts to dynamically adjust with the active players while leaving more resources for user spawned servers by players with Pro subscriptions.
- The vast majority of players will have almost all of the players in their region to arrange matches with in the case that a perfectly matched server isn't immediately apparent. Even the best QUAKE LIVE players will have about 65% of the player base in their region to arrange matches with.
- In combination with the new skill ranking system, player skill ranks are much more resilient to players "joining up" or "joining down" to other tiers. It's still in every players' best interest to play in a skill matched server, but no severe adjustments will occur to other players' skill ranking in the match as a result of a poorly matched player.
In general, the team is looking very seriously at the player base partitioning in the QUAKE LIVE platform and making changes to encourage high quality, well matched play. This first step should significantly increase the apparent size of the player base for most players and help everyone find more matches.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team had their 2012-13 home-opener spoiled by Lakeland College in a 92-80 loss in Flood Arena.
Despite shooting 56.9% from the field for the game Beloit was taken down by a 14-4 deficit in made three-pointers.
The first half was close throughout until the Muskies put together an 8-4 run in the final three minutes to grab a 41-37 lead at the break. The second half started out as tight as the first half had been until LC went off on a 14-6 run over four minutes to take a 65-57 lead with 11:09 left. The Bucs got back to with six but that was as close as they'd get the remainder of the game. Lakeland's biggest lead was 15 with 4:15 left. Beloit sliced it down to eight with under a minute left but could get no closer.
James Lazarcik led four Bucs in double figures with 18 points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Steve McAfee added 14, Grant Henricksen 13 and Ahmad Shamsid-Deen 12 with seven rebounds and seven assists.
After a break for Thanksgiving Beloit is back in Flood Arena on Saturday afternoon when they host Dominican University in a 3:00 p.m. tip, their final tune-up before Midwest Conference play begins next week.
