Mayodan, NC - Nearly 500 new jobs and a $30 million investment are on the way to Mayodan, thanks to gun manufacturer Sturm, Ruger and Company.
READ: Ruger Creating 459+ Jobs in Rockingham County
They say they're ready for the spotlight and economic boost Ruger's expansion is sure to bring.
"My first reaction was 'Wow, I'm going to get more business, you know!," said Sam Ellatakunne, co-owner, Star Pizza.
Sam Ellatakunne has been running Star Pizza on Main Street in Mayodan for eleven years.
He's seen businesses and his lunch crowd, come and go.
"We used to do a very good lunch, but now the lunch [has] slow down a little bit," explained Ellatakunne.
When the Unifi Plant was open, its employees packed his restaurant.
Now that Ruger is moving into Unifi's old building, and hiring nearly 500 employees, Ellatakunne hopes they'll spend money at his business.
"Competition is good," said Brandon Craddock.
Craddock owns Beach House Grill located just down the block from Star Pizza.
He has been open for one year.
"Business hasn't quite been where we want it at, and so [these] 500 jobs coming to town should help us out," said Craddock.
"I always had faith in this little town that it would step up, eventually, it just takes some time," said Catlin Morgan. "You just got to get through the rough part."
Morgan owns an appliance shop on Main Street and is in the process of opening a gun store. He says he began his plans about three months ago, the same time news spread Ruger was considering Mayodan.
"Them bringing jobs will only help us out even more."
Ruger is also responsible for bringing a new restaurant to town. The owners took a chance after hearing Ruger might expand in Mayodan.
"They found out about Mayodan because of the press that came out a few weeks ago and they decided that a place that is going to have 500 more people working, is a good place to have a restaurant," explained Michael Brandt, Town Manager, Mayodan.
"This is just the beginning," said Brandt.
He added, "We're excited that we will be able to put some people back to work."
Brandt says they're hopeful Ruger will bring more manufacturers to the area, even hotels, gas stations and chain restaurants.
Ruger chose Mayodan over sites in Florida, Texas and South Carolina. In order to help recruit the company, the state put together an incentives package.
The state has offered $13.76 million, but not all of that will go to Ruger.
According to Josh Ellis, with the North Carolina Department of Commerce, $9.46 million will go to the gun manufacturer.
Seven-hundred-thousand-dollars goes to community college training for Ruger's employees. As a part of a workforce-training grant, Ruger will get $372,000.
Nearly $500,000 is for the company to remodel the old Unifi textile building. Two million is for economic and tourism development and $750,000 is for the local government.

Words By: Duke DuRock
With Halloween right around the corner, we're excited to bring you not one but two performances by the incomparable DJ, Pumpkin. After playing one of the most talked about sets at Lightning in a Bottle (LIB) this year, and recently packing the King King for the debut of Woogie Nights, our new monthly event with Pocket Underground, this talented artist is quickly making a name for himself in the house music scene.
"The Woogie Stage has kind of become an awesome spectacle at Lightning in a Bottle," said Nick Alvarado, best known by his production alias, Pumpkin, when we spoke recently. "I'm really happy that The Do LaB and Pocket Underground are taking that vibe and now making it so we can woogie all year long!"
Pumpkin added, "The first show at King King was unreal. The line was out the door, and the crowd was really receptive. It was an unbelievable experience. San Francisco does have a really good house music scene, but the guys in Pocket Underground are the best kind of music snobs. So, it's going to be quality. There's a lot of garbage in the dance music world, but I love all the talent they pull for the Woogie stage at LIB. I'm stoked to see who they will be getting for future Woogie Nights."
Band Burnout Spawns Electronic Sounds
Having only started to DJ in 2004, originally by his underground alias "Nick the Neck," Pumpkin embraced electronic music after getting burnt out from being in bands.
"I grew up playing live music in bands," recalled Pumpkin. "The only electronic music that I was exposed to was the more mainstream stuff or very experimental material, like Aphex Twin. During Halloween of 2004, after my most recent band had broken up, I had become disillusioned with live music. A friend of mine took me to a loft party, and that's when I finally understood house music. The next weekend, I went out and bought my first set of turntables. The fact that I could go up, do my thing and play music that I love really spoke to me."
He added, "Pocket Underground has been some of my strongest supporters. They brought me into their DJ crew when I was just starting out and have been non-stop supportive ever since."
While he was steadily making a name for himself in the underground electronic music scene, Pumpkin soon found that he missed the singer-songwriter aspect of the music he listened to while growing up. "When I really started to explore getting back into my roots and remembering how much I love good pop music, I thought I should pick a different moniker to separate the two," Pumpkin recalled of his production aliases. "The name Pumpkin actually suits my style because a lot of the stuff I play is sweet and almost cute. So it really seemed to fit."
Passion for Music Captivates Audiences
As we witnessed during his standout set at LIB this year, and more recently at Woogie Nights, Pumpkin's ability to amp up the crowd with his on-stage enthusiasm and passion for the music he loves is infectious. "People feel better when they see me with my eyes closed singing along at the top of my lungs," said Pumpkin. "I could be alone in the DJ booth and still be having the time of my life because these are all of my favorite songs. Most DJs are not that fortunate. They have to fit their set into a specific sub-genre or play the hottest tracks. I don't ever pre-plan my sets. Sometimes I'll have a bunch of songs I know I want to play, but I'm not sure where I'm going to put them. But whatever's moving me that day, I can play it, so I'm the luckiest guy ever."
Stemming from his live band background, Pumpkin prefers to play more song-orientated music. He also favors melody to the loud, aggressive sounds currently dominating the dance floor. "My sets are kind of electronic music for people who didn't even really know they liked electronic music," explained Pumpkin. "I already went through a metal-head phase in my life. I still really do like loud rock music, but I think I got most of the angst out of my system when I was younger. So now I want to dance when I'm on the dance floor. I don't want to mosh."
Pumpkin's sets are heavy on vocal hooks and include plenty of his impressive bootleg remixes that he's done – from classic artists like Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie, to most recently Tina Dico, Blind Melon and Florence and The Machine. While Pumpkin often plays with different styles and tempos, his DJ sets are perfect for a sunrise or sunset session, as evidenced by his unforgettable 2011 LIB performance.
"I love that I get booked for those," Pumpkin shared. "I think the reason why I get put into those timeslots so often and really enjoy playing them is that when it comes to peak hour on the dance floor, people want to hear high energy music. But the stuff that I play, it can be a little more emotionally driven. So put me on at the end of the night, or when the night's just getting started, and I think the music lends itself perfectly to that. With Lightning in a Bottle being an outdoor festival, it was just beautiful. The sky turned purple, and it was picture perfect."
Pumpkin added, "That set is my number one DJ memory to date, hands down. Five of my friends brought their babies, so there were kids everywhere. People started to pair up on the dance floor, and I really had no idea that I had developed such a fan base. I think that was the most packed the Woogie Stage was all weekend. There were people pouring out on the sides of it, and it was completely unbelievable."
Surprises in Store for Halloween Weekend
After playing the inaugural San Francisco Woogie Nights, Pumpkin will be coming back to Los Angeles for our special pre-Halloween show at Supperclub, alongside An-Ten-nae and DJ Laura's new group LowRIDERz. "My Halloween weekend is completely bonkers, what with a DJ name like Pumpkin," laughed the producer. "I have a lot of fun, Halloween-type songs and surprises to drop, too, most of which I haven't played since last year. And I've got some new ones prepared, too. I like to be silly when I can and getting into Halloween when we can all dress up and act like kids again. It's a really fun dance floor to play for."
He added "Getting Halloween weekend started at The Supperclub, which is a great venue, with my Do LaB family, it's going to be special. I always love working with The Do LaB and the fact that they asked me to be one of the headliners, I'm truly honored. Their events were my first introduction to the Burning Man/L.A. Arts scene, and I haven't stopped going to their events since. The fact that I get to be on the bill, and there's so much love…I'm really excited. It's gonna be great."
For those of you who live in the Bay Area, be sure to catch Pumpkin when he plays the San Francisco debut of Woogie Nights, this Saturday, October 22nd! Please plan to arrive early, and tickets can still be purchased here.
On Thursday, October 27th, we're getting a jumpstart on Halloween weekend with a special party at the Supperclub in Los Angeles, where Pumpkin will be spinning a special set alongside LowRIDERz. Also featuring performances from Zen Arts and Symphonic Circles, this night is not to be missed! Please plan to arrive early, and wear a costume. Tickets are available here.

I was gigging in Amsterdam last year and jammed some blues with Irish guitar ace Dick Farrelly. It sounded so good we decided we must record an album together. Two months later Dick flew over to Manchester and we drove to the studio and started recording. 9 ½ hours later we had the album in the can. All the tracks were recorded live with a few overdubs added, some covers, some original and one even composed on the spot.
Dick has played with Mary Coughlan, Van Morrison, Mick Taylor, Noel redding and many other blues alumni from these Isles. You can find out more about him at: www.dickfarrelly.com

We study mechanisms of transporter-facilitated metabolite exchange across cell and organelle membranes by combining physical theory and experiments on reconstitution of the corresponding "large" ion channels into planar lipid membranes. It is well-recognized that disturbances in metabolite transport result in a wide variety of pathologies in development and in different organ systems, including, among others, cancer, cystic fibrosis, seizure disorders, muscular dystrophies, and cardiomyopathies. Understanding of the physical mechanisms that govern metabolite transport is essential for creating new approaches to treatment of these pathologies.
To investigate channels under precisely controlled conditions, we first isolate the channel-forming proteins from their host organisms, then purify and reconstitute them into planar lipid membranes. Our main goal is to elucidate the physical principles and molecular mechanisms responsible for metabolite flux regulation under normal and pathological conditions. The channel-forming proteins of interest include the voltage-dependent anion channel from the outer membrane of mitochondria (VDAC), B-components of Clostridium botulinum C2 and Clostridium perfringens iota toxins, Bacillus anthracis protective antigen, Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin, Escherichia coli general porin OmpF and sugar-specific LamB, Staphylococcus aureus alpha-hemolysin, Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprF, Trichoderma viride alamethicin, and Pseudomonas syringae lipopeptide toxin syringomycin E. We also use Bacillus brevis gramicidin A as a tool to study mechanical properties of lipid membranes.
Figure 1. Schematic illustration of the staphylococcal alpha-hemolysin channel (left) and anthrax PA (right) pre-pore in comparison with alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrin molecules that were used as scaffolds to synthesize the effective blockers of "virulent" channels.
Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin and Clostridium perfringens iota toxin are binary exotoxins, which ADP-ribosylate actin in the cytosol of mammalian cells and thereby destroy the cytoskeleton. C2 and iota toxins consist of two individual proteins, an enzymatic active (A) component and a separate receptor binding and translocation (B) component. The latter forms a complex with the A component on the surface of target cells and, after receptor-mediated endocytosis, mediates the translocation of the A component from acidified endosomal vesicles into the cytosol. To this end, the B components form heptameric pores in endosomal membranes, which serve as translocation channels for the A components. We demonstrated that a seven-fold symmetrical positively charged beta-cyclodextrin derivative, per-6-S-(3-aminomethyl)benzylthio-beta-cyclodextrin, protects cultured cells from intoxication with C2 and iota toxins in a concentration-dependent manner starting at low micromolar concentrations. We established that the compound inhibited the pH–dependent membrane translocation of the A components of both toxins in intact cells. Consistently, the compound effectively blocked transmembrane channels formed by the B components of C2 and iota toxins in planar lipid bilayers in vitro in reconstitution experiments. With C2 toxin, we consecutively ruled out all other possible inhibitory mechanisms by showing that the compound did not interfere with the binding of the toxin to the cells or with the enzyme activity of the A component. In previous work, we identified the beta-cyclodextrin derivative as one of the most potent inhibitors of the binary lethal toxin of Bacillus anthracis both in vitro and in vivo, implying that the derivative might represent a broad-spectrum inhibitor of binary pore-forming exotoxins from pathogenic bacteria.
In a separate study, we compared the abilities of structurally related cationic cyclodextrins to inhibit Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin and Staphylococcus aureus alpha-hemolysin. We used alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrins as scaffolds to synthesize cationic derivatives carrying six, seven, and eight positive charges, respectively. We found that, whereas alpha-cyclodextrins were ineffective, both beta- and gamma-cyclodextrin derivatives effectively inhibited anthrax toxin action by blocking the transmembrane oligomeric pores formed by the protective antigen (PA) subunit of the toxin. In contrast, the oligomeric pore of alpha-hemolysin was selectively blocked only by beta-cyclodextrin derivatives, demonstrating that, in addition to charge, both symmetry and size of the inhibitor and the pore are important.
Figure 2. Cartoon illustrating VDAC blockage by tubulin, in which the negatively charged tail (brown-yellow) of the tubulin heterodimer enters the predominantly positively charged VDAC pore (light blue).
In our previous work, we showed that one of the most abundant proteins in the cytosol of the majority of eukaryotic cells, dimeric tubulin, is a potent inhibitor of the VDAC from the outer mitochondrial membrane. For the channel, reconstituted into planar lipid membranes, the VDAC–tubulin interaction is seen as reversible transitions between the open and tubulin-blocked states. Experiments with isolated mitochondria and human hepatoma HepG2 cells demonstrated that VDAC–tubulin interaction is functionally important for regulating mitochondrial respiration. The tubulin-blocked state is still highly ion-conductive (about 40% of the open state conductance in 1 M KCl), which suggests that VDAC inhibition by tubulin is limited by the value of this residual conductance. It is important, however, that the major role of VDAC is regulation of ATP/ADP exchange between mitochondria and the cytosol rather than of the flux of small ions, so what really matters is the effect of tubulin blockage on the nucleotide transport. To assess the functional features of the tubulin-blocked state, we used three approaches. We first estimated the change in the characteristic radius of VDAC pore upon its blockage by tubulin using polymer partitioning, which is being developed in our laboratory. Based on the characteristic molecular weight of the polymer that separates partitioning from exclusion in VDAC's open and blocked states, we concluded that, as a result of the blockage, the effective cross-sectional area of the channel is reduced by a factor of two. Second, we analyzed the blockage-induced change in the channel small-ion selectivity at close to physiological salt concentrations. We showed that selectivity of the channel reverses its sign: from predominantly anionic selectivity in the open state, the channel shifts to cationic selectivity in the tubulin-blocked state. Third, we estimated ATP partitioning into both open and tubulin-blocked channel. We found that the addition of ATP reduces the conductance of the open-state channel but does not change conductance of the tubulin-blocked channel. We concluded that, as a result of electrostatic and steric barriers, ATP is excluded from the tubulin-blocked state of VDAC, thus establishing the functional role of the VDAC–tubulin interaction in regulating mitochondrial respiration.
Many of the nutrients a cell needs, such as sugars, amino acids, nucleotides or organic bases, require specialized transporters to cross the cell membrane. The rapid growth of available information, recently characterized as "transporter explosion", has led to creation of the transporter classification system, with division of all transporters into channels or carriers. This year, we focused on the physical principles of optimization of carrier-facilitated transport. The human genome harbors 43 distinct families of transport systems that comprise more than 300 isoforms of individual solute carriers. Although the majority of these transport systems are responsible for uptake of specific substrates, a substantial number of transporters are used for uptake of the same solute, and often there is overlapping expression of multiple isoforms in the same cell type. The question naturally arises as to why there are so many transporter isoforms. We found a possible answer to this question by analyzing carrier-facilitated transport with a focus on the optimal efficiency of the transporter. We demonstrated that, at lower substrate concentrations, stronger substrate binding is required and that the deviations from optimal interaction become more critical as the substrate concentration increases, i.e., higher concentrations necessitate more precise tuning. Thus, uniporters designed to transport the same molecule in the same cell have to be optimized with different amino-acid sequences, with one gene encoding a uniporter protein that functions most efficiently at high solute concentrations, while another gene encodes one that is most efficient at low concentrations. The existence of multiple transporter isoforms that carry the same molecule is well documented for almost any important substrate. Though this variety of isoforms may seem redundant and, in principle, could be explained by the lack of strong evolutionary pressures to decrease the size of the genome, our analysis now point to an alternative possibility. We have shown that transporter efficiency is fine-tuned to specific ranges of substrate concentration, so that different isoforms might be tailored to adjust their amino acid composition for the optimal strength of substrate/transporter interactions and the transition rates between various conformations.

WARSAW — Pro-Russian militants who took control over Ukraines Crimean peninsula will be integrated into the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces, said retired Adm. Vladimir Komoyedov, the chairman of the defense committee of the Russian Duma.
The self-defense forces of Crimea should be reformed and become part of [Russias] Southern Military District, said Komoyedov, who served as the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet prior to becoming a member of Russias lower house of parliament. The district is one of the four districts of the Russian Armed Forces.
Komoyedov also said that about 20 vessels of the Ukrainian Navy could be integrated into the Black Sea Fleet following Crimeas reunification with Russia.
In mid-March, Ukrainian Defense Minister Ihor Tenyukh said there were an estimated 60,000 Russian troops stationed in Crimea and at Ukraines border with Russia.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Leonid Polyakov said the ministry is developing an evacuation plan for the Ukrainian military from the Crimean peninsula.
Rear Adm. Serhiy Hayduk, the chief of Ukraines Navy, was captured by pro-Russian militants March 19 as they stormed the Ukrainian Navy Commands headquarters in Sevastopol. The admiral was released the next day following talks between Ukrainian and Russian state officials, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Anyone wondering why Gov. Chris Christie's popularity continues to soar, despite his failings and the myth of the "Jersey Comeback," received another example last week.
During a "tele-town hall" - a highly manufactured teleconference forum designed to reinforce the image of Christie reaching out to urban areas - the governor was asked his thoughts about Colorado lawmakers seeking federal disaster relief aid due to the recent massive flooding there. Some of those Republican lawmakers were the same ones who opposed giving federal aid to New Jersey to assist the Sandy recovery.
That opposition was baffling from the start, but the Colorado Republicans certainly didn't hesitate to tap into the same pool of money to get help for their own state. Christie called it like he saw it, blasting them as "hypocrites."
Who could argue?
Christie's critics could certainly point to instances of the governor's own hypocrisy - takes one to know one? - and we can't really blame them. But that doesn't change the fact that Christie is 100 percent right on this one, and he didn't hesitate out of some reflexive partisan loyalty. He was also correct in praising New Jersey's congressional members for not opposing the Colorado aid as some form of payback, which would have been extraordinarily petty and heartless.
The public's feelings about Christie's bluster and bluntness are typically colored by his target of the moment. Agree with him, and you'll laugh and applaud. Disagree, and it comes across as mean-spirited bullying. But the old saying, "No one picks on my little brother but me," certainly applies in this case. Christie called the lawmakers what they were, but did not call for revenge.
When it comes to flying the New Jersey flag on behalf of Sandy victims, Christie just about can do no wrong. He has received - and deserved - high marks for his crisis management before, during and after the storm. He has fought the good fight for as much aid as possible, he has fired up the troops to rebuild and he has fired up the tourists to return and enjoy the Shore again.
There have been a few missteps along the way. But the overarching image has been of a strong leader in a time of great need, and that's not strictly a Republican perception.
Colorado's lawmakers are hypocrites, and would have been more than comfortable leaving New Jersey's storm victims hanging without needed federal aid. But when they were the ones in need, it all changed.
So when given the opportunity, Christie stood up in defense of New Jersey once again, on an issue for which he knows he has broad bipartisan support. And he did it with a bit of passion. New Jerseyans like that about Christie, and that, more than anything else, is why he seems such a shoo-in for re-election.
Now we just have to hope that his leadership starts to produce better overall results.

NEW BERLIN, Wis. -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) want to make residents of Grant and Milwaukee counties aware that a limited number of disaster recovery guide books are available in Braille at Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs). Three DRCs opened in Wisconsin after President Obama declared both counties eligible for Individual Assistance Sept. 18 to help individuals recover from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding July 20-24.
The Braille recovery books, which include information such as how to apply for disaster assistance, which losses are eligible for coverage and programs that are available to help residents rebuild, became available to the Wisconsin public Sept. 28 for the first time.
"Grant and Milwaukee County residents with visual impairments now have another resource available to help them understand how to recover from severe weather July 20-24," said WEM Administrator Michael Hinman.
Braille recovery books are among many resources FEMA has developed to assist Grant and Milwaukee County residents with disabilities. A TTY hotline, 800-462-7585, is available to help individuals with hearing impairments apply for disaster recovery assistance by phone. A chart of information about how individuals with disabilities can prepare for a disaster is available online: www.fema.gov/plan/prepare/specialplans.shtm. Preparedness resources are also available at: www.ready.gov/america/getakit/disabled.html.
"We encourage Wisconsin residents with or without disabilities to take a few minutes to explore preparedness and recovery resources available online," said FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Paul Ricciuti.
Face-to-face recovery assistance is also available at DRCs.
Two DRCs are open in Milwaukee County Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Individuals affected by severe weather July 20-24 can log onto www.DisasterAssistance.gov or call 800-621-FEMA/3362 to register for FEMA disaster assistance.
The deadline for Grant and Milwaukee County residents to apply for Individual Assistance is Nov. 17.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Helen Fielding.
- Filed Under
It's been 17 years since "Bridget Jones's Diary" first hit the scene, turning freelance journalist Helen Fielding into a best-selling author and screenwriter. Her latest installment, "Mad About the Boy," follows Bridget, now 51, as she copes with the loss of her beloved Mark Darcy while trying to raise their children. We talked with Fielding over the phone about how it feels to bring Bridget back into the public eye (while taking lots of heat from those Colin Firth fans!).
The following is an edited transcript of our conversation:
How are readers reacting to the death of Mark Darcy? ...

I have been trying to find the red and greens on ebay for a good price and failed time and time again. How do you find them?
That's the thing, they usually are not on eBay at a good price. People just assume it is on there because quite frankly a lot of stuff is on ebay and assume it is there at a good price. Cheapest for the throwback jersey that I can find on ebay now with no name is $85. Include shipping and you are only paying slightly less than at a brick and mortar store.
A little more than a year ago, ebay had a flood of knockoff Colorado Rockies jerseys up for bid at around $20-$50 each. In the next couple of months after I saw a flood of people wearing them at the arena. I do buy knockoffs but these were particularly bad as the stripes were off and the Mountian on the front were of all different shapes and sizes from jersey to jersey and looked ridiculous.

"The program in and of itself is unique to Recovery Inn, you won't find a cookie cutter version of this sober house anywhere else. To top it all off, the women that reside in the Recovery Inn homes are truly amazing. These women did for me what I couldn't do for myself. They lifted me up and believed in me when I felt hopeless; we have shared tears together, laughter, moments of celebration and joy."
Your generous donations help us cover 40% of our expenses.
We offer a comprehensive and unique sober living program that is distinctive in the recovery community. Along with providing beautiful housing, our programs equip women in recovery from substance use disorders with the necessary tools geared towards living a productive, joyful and sober life.
Recovery is our primary purpose with focus
on body, mind and spirit.
Recovery Inn is designed to help women over the age of 18 who have a minimum of 7 days sobriety. Requirements for residency include maintaining a sponsor, working a 12-Step program, employment, developing a spiritual program, performing household chores and being an active house member.
Residents hail from across the country, some transitioning from residential treatment centers or detox facilities, with others coming directly from home. Our goal is to help women re-integrate into society as they learn to navigate the challenges of living a sober life in a society where alcohol and drugs are pervasive. Statistics show that sober living after treatment increases the odds of staying sober by as much as 80%. We teach our residents a myriad of necessary life skills in an environment that promotes recovery.
We understand how challenging life can be for the families and loved ones of addicts or alcoholics. We've trudged this road with over 650 women and their families and aren't stopping here. The disease process affects everyone involved and it's not an easy journey. You are not alone. There is hope and we want to help.
There are many pathways that lead to recovery and Recovery Inn is proud to be one of those pathways.
"I came to Recovery Inn after being in a six month treatment program for alcoholism and heroin addiction. I chose Recovery Inn because I needed a safe place to learn.."
~ Katie
"I now have a strong fellowship of sober friends and roommates, a loving family and a relationship with God unknown to me before coming to Recovery Inn."
~ Jan
"The cleanlines and structure is what makes Recovery Inn unique and different than other sober living houses. By maintaining the property, the atmosphere is more calm.."
~ Lynne
"It is a place where I am surrounded by others with the same goal."
~ Beth
"My 18-year-old-son told me that he is proud of the responsibility I took in going through a recovery home and that's what kept me going."

The RYA is concerned that leases for tidal energy projects at sites around the UK confirmed by the Crown Estate on the 14th November, have been granted with no specific planning parameters that reference the safety of navigation for coastal mariners.
Single axis tidal turbine, the AK1000, at Invergordon in Scotland.
Stuart Carruthers, RYA Cruising Manager: 'We are disappointed that the Crown Estate has leased the rights for three tidal energy projects in response to the application timeframe for the Saltire Prize worth £10 million and other demonstration projects rather than waiting for the outcome of its own industry engagement exercise. We had understood that this would be used to inform and update the Crown Estate's approach to wave and tidal leasing.
'In addition, as the RYA states in its response to the industry engagement exercise, there is currently a lack of detailed MCA navigation advice for developers that is specific to tidal energy development; this needs to be addressed.
'Given that the coastal mariner may be using the same tidal streams for efficient passage planning, it is essential that the 'planning basics for navigation' are determined and agreed much as has been done for wind energy. We can see already that these lease agreements are in areas that are used by a variety of coastal traffic and recreational boats where under keel clearance will be a critical design factor.'
The Crown Estate engagement exercise was launched in July and ended in September. It invited wave and tidal project developers to share their visions of future schemes, including where and when projects may be developed. The exercise also sought suggestions about how The Crown Estate could further improve the way it provides seabed rights, both in the forms of rights provided and the leasing processes itself.
The three organisations which have been granted a lease to develop tidal energy projects are as follows:
• Isle of Wight Council will develop a managed testing facility, called the Solent Ocean Energy Centre which will be located off the south of the Isle of Wight near St Catherine's Point.
• Orkney-based Scotrenewables Tidal Power will develop a 30MW tidal stream array at Lashy Sound in the Orkney Islands. This follows the company testing a 250KW device at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney from 2011 onwards.
• Swedish technology developer Minesto will deploy a quarter-scale (3kw) prototype of its Deep Green Ocean Kite in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. The follows tests of its Seakite tidal technology in the lough during 2011-12.
The developers will be required to consult with local stakeholders, complete survey work and prepare applications in order to obtain consent from the relevant authorities, including the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and Marine Scotland.
The RYA has set out its position in relation to the development of offshore renewable tidal energy which is intended to enable developers accurately to take account of recreational boating when planning developments. Provided these are fully considered, the RYA believes that the impact that offshore renewable tidal energy has on recreational boating can be minimized.

This gave me a new IP, which that turd hasn't found yet. This cheapo NIC also works just fine; after all, I'm only asking for less than 10% of its supposed speed.

Beautifully written review Vidya!
Congratulations once again Galen for the wonderful book that I've been reading about at so many places I visit.
The way Vidya's described it, it sure seems a book to be treasured, no wonder she went missing from the Blogosphere for a few days (Joking!)
I guess happiness is a state of mind and if we want to be happy, we can…very little is actually needed to make us happy, though we really don't realize this simple fact – isn't it?
Thanks for sharing.

Roger turns to Edberg for Murray adviceComment on this story
Melbourne – Roger Federer is planning to tap coach Stefan Edberg's deep well of experience to try some new things in his quarter-final showdown with Andy Murray at the Australian Open.
The record 17-time Grand Slam champion cruised into the last eight at the year's opening Slam with a consummate straight-sets victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Monday.
The Swiss great, seeded six, rolled back the years as he swept past the French 10th seed 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in one hour 52 minutes in an evening match on Rod Laver Arena.
Federer has now reached his 11th consecutive quarter-final in Melbourne and equalled the record of 41 straight Slam quarters with American Jimmy Connors as he set up a rematch of last year's semi-final which Murray won in five sets.
Federer, who is working with the six-time Grand Slam champion Edberg for 10 weeks, said he will draw on the Swede's knowledge to devise tactics for the match with Wimbledon champion Murray.
"It's not going to hurt. Yeah, it could be very helpful. We'll talk about it a little bit about the Murray match," he said.
"It's just a different perspective. He did things his way back in the day and you can take so many things from his experience.
"I want to maybe try out a few things that worked for him and try out a few things that he thinks would work out for me this time around.
"Sure, we'll discuss it, assess it, but he's here now more for just support, making me feel comfortable, giving me right advice, pre-match, post-match, discussing it with Severin Luthi my coach."
Federer's quarter-final with Tsonga went to five sets in last year's Australian Open but the Swiss sixth seed was always in command with his aggressive display, dominating the net exchanges.
Federer broke Tsonga's service three times, and only had one break point against his own serve.
He won 88 percent of his first-serve points and more than twice the number of winners (43) than errors (21), in a clinical performance.
Federer also won 34 of the 41 net points, illustrating his plan to take the game to Tsonga.
"I thought I played really well tonight and clearly against Jo-Willy you have to bring your best game because he dictates play and I thought I did well dictating a lot of the plays," Federer said.
"Jo makes you play an aggressive game because if you don't he'll come and it's tough to pass him.
"Tactics worked well and we spoke about it before the match. I don't go unprepared into matches like I used to." – Sapa-AFP

We've been hoarding news waiting for Mod Of the Year, but we're not going to wait any more!
Posted by Nathanius on Nov 25th, 2011
G'day moddb community!
We have been hoarding news material waiting for Mod Of The Year (it started mid November last year), however we're getting more of a news backlog than is strictly healthy and we've decided to start our news blitz with or without the Mod Of The Year competition being announced!
We have implemented a system of random Star Trek quotes and images in the loading screen, there are enough there that you shouldn't see the same combination while loading up a game very often! The collection of quotes and images will grow over time and any awesome images that are posted in the screenshots thread will be considered to be added in if they're of a good enough resolution and size, for example this image by SkullFour will be making it onto your loading screens, unless SkullFour objects of course.
You thought we already had the best hyperspace script in a Homeworld 2 mod with the Warp FX already, but with a little extra love it has gone up another level!
It was requested that we find more ways to differentiate the races with research and, with the hole left by the warp recovery time reducing research we wanted something new (yes, we got rid of the Homeworld 2 style cool-down after dropping out of warp).
For the Federation we have enhanced ship repair systems in a 3 step research item that in its final step will double the speed at which your ships repair.
The Klingon empire gets a mining boost, enhancing the mining drones that they use to carry more, harvest more efficiently and when they're done drop off their crystalline bounty at a greater speed.
The Romulans get the bonus of having the Tal'Shiar as an organisation to call on, they have three levels of spying available to them, the first level are computer hacks that give information on enemy resource capacities, the second information on enemy research programs and fleet strengths and the third is a hack directly into enemy sensor grids, allowing the position of almost all enemy ships to be revealed until the signal is detected and blocked.
That's it from us this week, next week we will share some information on new maps that have been done (some seen in screenshots already), an overhaul of the damage FX we're using and maybe some more!
Continuum Corp
I have this mod, it's brilliant, Keep up the good work!
I hope you guys can make a story line to all that epic star trekkieness would rule.
To be a true star trek game u need to make all races playable and need a epic single player storyline. Love the work, I play this mod with my friends all the time

U.S. Steel casts long shadow
The sidewalk beneath Pittsburgh's tallest skyscraper is rust-stained from the steel-clad U.S. Steel Tower, as if a 62-story steel spike had been driven into Downtown.
In much the same way, the storied steel titan drove Pittsburgh's economy for decades, until the 1980s.
"How do you define Pittsburgh without thinking about U.S. Steel• It's inseparable," said August Carlino, president and CEO of Rivers of Steel, a group in Homestead that preserves and promotes the region's steel-making heritage.
"The company and the steel industry it built put a name on this region and contributed to its economic development for over 100 years," said Carlino.
At its peak in 1943 amid World War II, U.S. Steel employed about 340,000 people in this country, say corporation records. That included about 50,000 U.S. Steel workers locally, at plants from Homestead to Clairton.
U.S. Steel was founded a century ago by combining companies that included Carnegie Steel Co. The Wall Street colossus J.P. Morgan formed U.S. Steel on Feb. 25, 1901, with $1.4 billion in invested capital -- making it the first billion-dollar company in U.S. history.
In 1902, its first full year of operation, U.S. Steel produced nearly 11 million tons of raw steel, or roughly two in every three tons of steel produced in America. Its output went into everything from railroad rails to automobiles to appliances -- even New York's famed Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
But by the 1980s, a combination of "global economics, price issues and power struggles behind labor and management" crushed U.S. Steel's influence and employment levels, said Carlino.
Today, U.S. Steel employs about 4,650 people in this region. Its local works include the Edgar Thomson plant in Braddock, the Clairton plant and the Irvin plant in Dravosburg, The imposing headquarters building was completed in 1971.
"It's now a shadow of itself," said Carlino. "But U.S. Steel laid a foundation of steel-related businesses in this region," such as Pittsburgh's many engineering firms.

Rainy weather changed the location, but certainly not the meaning for American Legion Post 400's annual tribute to those who gave their lives serving our country.
The event was moved to the Legion building from Rochester Cemetery when the skies failed to clear. Several dozen people turned out to start their Memorial Day with the service.
A gun salute and taps were part of the salute. Congresswoman Nancy Boyda also spoke. She urged young people to thank those who've served.
Memorial Day brings a lot of emotion for many veterans, including Post 400 Commander Marvin Havenstein, who served in the National Guard and Army Reserves and lost three uncles to World War II. He says young people need to realize that without the veterans, we wouldn't have the freedoms we enjoy today.

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Cubs left-hander Ted Lilly has had surgery on his left shoulder.
The Cubs said the arthroscopy and debridement procedure performed Tuesday by Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles revealed no major damage.
The Cubs said they will determine after the first of the year a timetable for Lilly to start a throwing program.
Lilly was 12-9 with a 3.10 ERA in 27 starts last season.

O Come, All ye Faithful
"O Come, All Ye Faithful" (originally written in Latin as Adeste Fideles) is a Christmas carol which has been attributed to various authors, including John Francis Wade (1711–1786), with the earliest copies of the hymn all bearing his signature, John Reading (1645–1692) and King John IV of Portugal (1604–1656).[1][2][3]
The original four verses of the hymn were extended to a total of eight, and these have been translated into many languages. The English translation of "O Come, All Ye Faithful" by the English Catholic priest Frederick Oakeley, written in 1841, is widespread in most English speaking countries.[2][4] The present harmonisation is from the English Hymnal (1906).[2]
Besides John Francis Wade, the tune has been purported to be written by several musicians, from John Reading and his son to Handel and even Gluck, including the Portuguese composers Marcos Portugal or the king John IV of Portugal himself. Thomas Arne, whom Wade knew, is another possible composer.[5] There are several similar musical themes written around that time, though it can be hard to determine whether these were written in imitation of the hymn, the hymn was based on them, or they are totally unconnected.
Wade included it in his own publication of Cantus Diversi (1751). It was published again in the 1760 edition of Evening Offices of the Church. It also appeared in Samuel Webbe's An Essay on the Church Plain Chant (1782).

Adeste fideles læti triumphantes,
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
There are additional Latin verses in various sources.[6] For example:
En grege relicto, humiles ad cunas,
Stella duce, Magi Christum adorantes,
Æterni parentis splendorem æternum
Pro nobis egenum et fœno cubantem,
Other versions:
Cantet nunc hymnos chorus angelorum
Cantet nunc aula cælestium,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Venite adoremus (3×)
The original text has been from time to time attributed to various groups and individuals, including St. Bonaventure in the 13th century or King John IV of Portugal in the 17th, though it was more commonly believed that the text was written by an order of monks, the Cistercian, German, Portuguese and Spanish orders having, at various times, been given credit.
The original text consisted of four Latin verses, and it was with these that the hymn was originally published. John Francis Wade had written the hymn in Latin in 1744, and was first published in 1751.[2][7] The Abbé Jean-François-Étienne Borderies wrote an additional three verses in the 18th century; these are normally printed as the third to fifth of seven verses, while another, anonymous, additional Latin verse is rarely printed. The text has been translated innumerable times, but the most used version today is the English "O Come, All Ye Faithful". This is a combination of one of Frederick Oakeley's translations of the original four verses and William Thomas Brooke's of the three additional ones, which was first published in Murray's Hymnal in 1852. Oakeley originally titled the song "Ye Faithful, approach ye" when it was sung at his Margaret Church in Marylebone before it was altered to its current form.[5]
King John IV[edit]
The most commonly named Portuguese author is King John IV of Portugal (Portuguese: D. João IV de Portugal, pronounced: [ʒuˈɐ̃w̃]). "The Musician King" (1604–1656, came to the throne in 1640) was a patron of music and the arts and a considerably sophisticated writer on music; in addition, he was a composer, and during his reign he collected one of the largest musical libraries in the world (destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755). The first part of his musical work was published in 1649. He founded a Music School in Vila Viçosa that 'exported' musicians to Spain and Italy and it was at his Vila Viçosa palace that the two 1640 manuscripts of the "Portuguese Hymn" were found. Those manuscripts predate Wade's eighteenth-century manuscript.[3] Among the King's writings is a Defense of Modern Music (Lisbon, 1649). In the same year (1649) he had a huge struggle to get instrumental music approved by the Vatican for use in the Catholic Church. His other famous composition is a setting of the Crux fidelis, a work that remains highly popular during Lent amongst church choirs.
Jacobite connection[edit]
The hymn has been interpreted as a Jacobite birth ode to Bonnie Prince Charlie.[8] Professor Bennett Zon, head of music at Durham University, claims that the carol is actually a birth ode to Bonnie Prince Charlie, the secret political code being decipherable by the "faithful" (the Jacobites), with "Bethlehem" a common Jacobite cipher for England and Regem Angelorum a pun on Angelorum (Angels) and Anglorum (English).[8] Wade had fled to France after the Jacobite rising of 1745 was crushed. From the 1740s to 1770s the earliest forms of the carol commonly appeared in English Roman Catholic liturgical books close to prayers for the exiled Old Pretender. In the books by Wade it was often decorated with Jacobite floral imagery, as were other liturgical texts with coded Jacobite meanings.[9]
In performance verses are often omitted, either because the hymn is too long in its entirety or because the words are unsuitable for the day on which they are sung. For example the eighth anonymous verse is only sung on Epiphany, if at all; while the last verse of the original is normally reserved for Christmas Midnight Mass, Mass at Dawn or Mass During the Day.
In the United Kingdom and United States it is often sung today in an arrangement by Sir David Willcocks, which was originally published in 1961 by Oxford University Press in the first book in the Carols for Choirs series. This arrangement makes use of the basic harmonisation from The English Hymnal but adds a soprano descant in verse six (verse three in the original) with its reharmonised organ accompaniment, and a last verse harmonisation in verse seven (verse four in the original), which is sung in unison.
This carol has served as the second-last hymn sung at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in King's College, Cambridge, after the last lesson from Chapter 1 of the Gospel of John.
Numerous versions have been recorded by artists of various genres from all around the world.
The Portuguese hymn[edit]
The hymn was known as the Portuguese Hymn after the Duke of Leeds in 1795 heard it being sung at the Portuguese embassy in London.[10] However, the translation that he heard differs greatly from the Oakeley-Brooke translation, and was over forty years after John Francis Wade had published the hymn in 1751.[2][7]
A different account of the story is that King John IV of Portugal wrote this hymn to accompany his daughter Catherine to England, where she married King Charles II.
The Sacred Harp hymn tune "Portuguese Hymn" in 9 11 11 meter with 7 7 10 refrain ("Hither Ye Faithful, Haste with Songs of Triumph")[11] is slightly different from the usual tune.

If you are a vigilant online marketer, you should now be doing something to popularise your onlinee videos. With the recent Google Panda 3.3 update, Google clearly expressed that it will be improving its video snippets and will now be showing direct links to the most popular videos of YouTube in their search results. If you do not want to be left behind, you should by now be thinking of strategies for your video marketing campaign.
Though video marketing may not always be easy, below are some practical tips that can improve your chances of having the most watched videos in YouTube for your given market.
Effective Story Telling
We know that creating engaging content is an effective strategy, creating a video can inspire people to take action based on emotional connections which can be super effective. For instance, if you are promoting your veterinary clinic online, create a video that expresses your stand against animal cruelty and include the music of Sara Mclaughlin's "Arms of an Angel" for the background music. By doing so, you speak to the emotions of your viewers and you let them know that you are serious when it comes to fighting animal cruelty.
Be Direct to the Point
The reason why people enjoy watching videos so much, compared to reading, is that it enables them to absorb information without much effort. Do not spend hours creating a video that will just be ignored. Create an engaging soundbite and a teaser that will make viewers ask for more. Also, make your video short and direct to the point and do not beat around the bush.
Video Testimonials
Testimonials are important if you want to attract more clients. The willingness of your current client to talk about how they have benefited from your products or services is priceless. In addition to posting testimonials as text, it will be a good idea to exert more effort in recording the testimonials. You do not need a high end video camera for this, just use any point and shoot camera and you should be able to record a video testimonial that is more credible and believable.
Improve Video Sharability
By creating a video and posting it online, you promote your videos to millions of Internet users worldwide. To create even more buzz about your online video and further promote your branded content, ensure that you make use of sharing widgets so your video can be shared within different social networks in just a few clicks. The more people watch and share your videos, the more popular it gets.
In Summary
Whether or not you have carried out a video optimisation campaign before, well optimised videos are now very important especially now that Google has clearly stated that it will be including popular videos in its search results.
What are some of the videos that have had a personal impact on you? Was it fun to watch, controversial and compelling? What are your video strategies that you find most effective and would recommend to other online marketers?
Looking forward to your comments!

The allure of Silicon Valley has aroused China's largest Internet company to begin investing in some of America's smallest ones.
Tencent Holdings has funded about a half dozen young startups, many of them from prestigious business incubator Y Combinator, hoping like everyone else that its relatively small investments will lead to big payoffs.
One of its first seed investments is being put to the test today as Everyme, a new social network, opens its online doors. Tencent was the lead investor in the startup's $1.5 million seed round, which closed in October, according to Everyme Chief Executive Officer Oliver Cameron.
Everyme, based in Menlo Park, California, lets people share messages and photos with groups that are arranged automatically based on a user's address book and Facebook activity.
"We kind of agreed with their thesis that there's a lot of value in the address book," said David Wallerstein, a senior executive vice president for Tencent, who is based in Palo Alto, California. Other investors included Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners, Ron Conway's SV Angel and Michael Arrington's CrunchFund.
Wallerstein and Cameron, Everyme's CEO, were introduced to each other by Paul Graham, the co-founder of Mountain View, California-based Y Combinator. After their meeting, Cameron had to do some online research to familiarize himself with Tencent, which is a juggernaut in China but is relatively unknown here.
Tencent's influence in China can be attractive to young entrepreneurs aspiring to be the next Facebook or Google, two companies that are having trouble breaking into the Chinese market.
Down the road, if Everyme takes off, "Tencent can publish our app in China as a partnership," said Cameron, whose company fits the Silicon Valley stereotype. Everyme's five employees, who sport hoodies and t-shirts bearing the company's logo, type away at big-screen iMac computers with a ping-pong table behind them.
Tencent began investing in U.S. companies' initial rounds last year, starting with Everyme in October and a photo-sharing app called Waddle the following month. The company had invested large amounts in the later stages of game developers. A year ago, Tencent purchased a majority stake in Riot Games, based in Santa Monica, California.
Last week, Tencent invested in "a few more" Y Combinator companies from the most recent group of startups, bringing Tencent's total number of seed investments to between five and 10, Wallerstein said. He declined to provide details. Just last month, Tencent President Martin Lau said the company was considering spending less on investments.
When Chinese companies fund U.S. businesses, they tend to not get directly involved in how they're operated, said Yasheng Huang, an international business management professor at MIT. "They tend to defer to their American management more. The Chinese firms that have made investments in the U.S. are new kids on the block."
When startups talk about possible investments with Tencent, the topic of China inevitably comes up, Wallerstein said.
"Having that discussion gets big and serious and almost scary," he said. "The U.S. is in a learning phase with China. We know we have a lot of value to offer, but we're a new face out here."
Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, is an investor in Andreessen Horowitz.
(Updated to correct that Riot Games is based in Santa Monica.)

Views of the media towards the phenomenon of Wikileaks are far more varied than this article suggests. Many respected journalists have applauded the website's mission, whilst also pointing out that many of its 'disclosures' had already been reported and were hardly revelatory (eg That some members of the Pakistani secret service support the Taliban).
Other journalists have questioned the value of leaking reams of diplomatic cables, which seemed to cause some minor consternation amongst certain governments, and were then quickly forgotten. Journalism is supposed to shake the very foundations of power, not slightly embarrass it.
Finally there is the vexed question of Julian Assange. The Left's lionizing of Assange seems to me to be deeply misguided. As others have pointed out, he is now betraying the principles that Wikileaks was founded on, by using the website as a bargaining chip to try and avoid extradition and a rape trial.
