Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Recovery Point?
Recovery Point of Huntington provides a long-term program of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. Since opening in January of 2011, Recovery Point of Huntington has graduated over 120 men. Currently, Recovery Point provides housing, food, and recovery services to 100 men. Our peer-driven, social model of recovery has proven to be effective in initiating and sustaining long-term recovery from addiction. Our current statistics show that over 68% of our graduates remain abstinent one year.
What is a Peer-Driven, Social Model?
Traditional treatment centers operate under a clinical model comprised of licensed clinicians, counselors, and physicians. Recovery Point utilizes a peer-driven, social model introduced by The Healing Place of Louisville, KY which utilizes Peer Mentors as class facilitators. Each Peer Mentor will share their recovery experience with another peer early in recovery. Our program places individuals in real-life experiences where they learn how to live sober. This same model is being replicated throughout West Virginia through funding from the Justice Reinvestment Act.
Why choose Recovery Point of Huntington?
- Recovery Point of Huntington is cost-effective. The non-medical detox and residential recovery program is provided at absolutely NO COST to the individual alcoholic/addict. Residents contribute to their room and board in ways such as- food preparation, housekeeping, building and grounds maintenance, security, peer-mentoring, teaching, etc. Recovery Point of Huntington is a private, not-for-profit organization that relies on grants and charitable donations for funding and is able to keep costs down to an average of $25 per day per resident (considerably less than the average $250 per day in a traditional treatment facility or the $50 per day in our local regional jail).
- Recovery Point of Huntington has a proven record of success since 2011. Statistics show that 68% of the alumni remain abstinent for at least one year after completing the program. This is roughly five times the national average for successful recovery from alcohol and drug addiction in traditional facilities. Recovery Point of Huntington program saves lives and restores individuals to their families and communities. It takes the alcoholic/addict from detox to sustained recovery- from a position of entitlement to empowerment- from a tax burden to a tax payer.
How does the Recovery Point of Huntington program of recovery work?
- The Recovery Point of Huntington model is based on the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous that a) views alcohol and drug addiction as a chronic physical, mental and spiritual disease; and b) advocates a unique "social" method of treatment- one recovering alcoholic/addict helping another to achieve sobriety. Residents are not only required to attend outside AA/NA meetings, but to complete the curriculum of Recovery Dynamics, a systematic program of application of the 12 steps found in Alcoholic Anonymous. The curriculum consists of 28 classes and 32 written assignments.
- Instead of relying on outside professional counselors as staff, Recovery Point of Huntington utilizes in-house Peer Mentors- graduates who have recently completed the program and, thus may serve as successful role models of recovery. These Peer Mentors are uniquely qualified to facilitate meetings and classes, provide peer-to-peer support and guidance, and model appropriate social and life skills.
- Residents form a therapeutic community that operates on the principles of peer mentoring, group conscience and consensus decision-making. The community emphasis on taking personal responsibility for one's actions, self-discipline and accountability to the peer group provides the primary catalyst of change for the recovering addict and alcoholic.
What is non-medical detox?
This refers to the process of detoxification from alcohol and drugs without pharmaceutical intervention. A typical stay in detox lasts 5-7 days. At least one Detox Monitor trained in CPR and First Aid is on duty at all times to monitor vitals for withdrawal symptoms. No medication is administered during the detoxification stage unless deemed medically necessary prior to the individual arriving. If a client requires medical attention, they will be immediately admitted to one of the local hospitals and remain under the care of hospital staff until medically cleared. As soon as the client is medically stabilized, he is required to attend in-house meetings and classes that will prepare him to participate in the recovery program.
What are the specific phases in the recovery program?
Off the Street (OTS) I and II: OTS residents are required to attend daily classes and participate in 12-Step meetings where they are introduced to the core concepts of recovery. Through interactions with peers who provide guidance, support, and model appropriate social and life skills. Participants are challenged daily to practice sober living skills, acquired through peers and staff in recovery. OTS residents will learn the basics of personal accountability to the group, and begin to move away from the "street" mentality.
Recovery Phase I: In exchange for room and board, all Phase I residents are required to complete daily job assignments and fulfill the requirements of the formal program of recovery 1) the curriculum of Recovery Dynamics 2) Peer Mentoring 3) Community Meetings.
Recovery Phase II: Residents who become Silver Chip eligible will have one of two options upon graduation: 1) Move into the Peer Mentor office 2) Move into the transitional living house. Peer Mentors are compensated through a small stipend, while transitional residents must be gainfully employed, pay rent and meet the house requirements as set forth by the Phase II Coordinator.
How can I find out more information about Recovery Point of Huntington?
Call (304)523-4673 or visit www.thehealingplaceofhuntington.org.
We encourage you to come visit our facility and see our program. We believe recovery from addiction is possible and seeing our program in action, you will too.

Liege - Alpha Release & New Update
Since my last update about the funded kickstarter game Liege thew games developer John Rhee has launched the Alpha version, and posted a new patch.
Here are the details.
The first playable slice of Liege is finally ready to share!
I've uploaded our first alpha build to Steam and submitted the request to Valve for backer keys. Alpha backers, keep an eye on your inbox over the next few days. Those of you who prefer delivery outside of Steam, shoot me a PM and I'll see to getting you a direct link. As mentioned before, to keep things manageable on my end I'll be focusing on PC, Mac and Linux for alpha testing.
What to expect: The build contains the tutorial sequence shown two updates ago in its new, extended form. The demo is short and a lot of things are still rough, but I'm making it available in its current state with the following goals:
1) Identify any major system compatibility issues
2) Get a sense of how things are performing on a wider range of hardware
3) Start getting feedback on the tutorial sequence, mechanics, and combat UI
Following this first release, I'll be putting out more regular updates which will incrementally extend the content. Once the keys go out I'll be following up with details on where to send bugs, suggestions, questions, etc.

Liege - Post-Funding Update #29
John Rhee of Coda Games has released a new post-funding development update for his funded RPG Liege, and it includes a new video to watch also.
Apologies to those of you who were looking forward to the alpha release with this update- I decided it'd be better to take some more time to polish things up a bit rather than disappointing with a rushed build. Things are taking longer than planned, but we're getting a lot done and hopefully you like what you see so far!
Sunday - July 13, 2014
Liege - Post-Funding Update #28
John Rhee of Coda Games has released a new post-funding development update for his funded RPG Liege. Things are looking good, and I can't wait to plat the finished game.
Update - 07/10/14
Hi everyone!
Since we're moving further into development, I'll be switching from our usual art/sound/dev breakdown and starting instead with:
Gameplay Video
For this update I wanted to give you all an extended look at the game running so you'll have a better sense of how it's all coming together. Those of you who prefer to wait to experience the game first-hand may want to stop here!
Though individually they're not very interesting to watch, the sequence of battles in the video are carefully designed as a progression to teach the players the game's basic combat mechanics. Designing a tutorial for a tactics RPG without any text is tricky business, but I think we'll get there as we continue to tweak based on your feedback during testing (more on this below).
Apart from the tutorial stuff, one point I didn't discuss much in the video is the concept of bannermen, which are playable units not in the main cast. In the video, Alec and Marcus are bannermen who can either be saved or killed (in my play-through, due to my actions, Alec made it while Marcus didn't). If a bannerman survives in battle, he'll continue to appear in future battles as an ally you can develop. Additionally, he'll persist in the world as an NPC while you explore, so you might witness events like his reunion with his kin when your party arrives at his home town.
Since we're not placing heavy emphasis on equipment and loot, this concept is shaping up to add a lot more depth and replayability to the game. It's also turning into an interesting way to scale the game's challenge level, since novice players can focus on keeping the main cast alive to progress through the story, while advanced players can aim to save as many bannermen as possible.
Alpha & Beyond
A playable build for our alpha backers with the first few chapters of the game will be ready by the next update. Over the next few months I'll be sharing updated builds with additional content on a regular basis (save data will persist across updates). To help keep things manageable on our end, initially the test builds will be available for PC, Mac, and Linux. As we get further into testing, I'll be making additional announcements regarding testing on our other platforms.
With the engine port, art overhaul, and scope of the game growing in the last few months, we've had to move the game's release date to sometime near the end of the year. The added time should give us a chance to really take the game as far as we can. For those of you who can't wait to start playing, hopefully having access to the latest build will be enough to keep you occupied.

Quick video showing some of the work going on with Liege, an upcoming cross-platform tactical RPG.
Thursday - March 20, 2014
Liege - Post-Funding Update #26
John Rhee of Coda Games has released a new post-funding development update for his funded RPG Liege . It has been a while since the last update so this is good news.
Code-wise, my focus has been on combat UI and AI.
The UI still needs some tweaks, but the functionality's coming together pretty nicely.
The AI's been trickier to get right. Since one or a few bad moves in the game can be fatal, the AI can't get away with attacking blindly on sight. At this point, it manages to do a pretty good job of predicting future outcomes and avoiding very poor to suicidal moves, and instead of charging blindly, it tries to wait for openings to strike. That said, teaching it to play well while leaving opportunities for players to gain an advantage will take some time to get right.
Anyhow, here's a video!
Things are still rough overall, and there's a ton of placeholder assets everywhere. I'll be focusing on characters and animation once we've finished nailing down more of the core gameplay elements. Things should start looking much more interesting once that's done and I can start implementing class abilities.
Lastly, I'll be at GDC next week with Kalen. If any of you will be there as well, let me know. I'd love to hear from you!

Liege - Post-Funding Update #24
In the latest post-funding update for Liege we get a status update, new video, and news about the game on Steam Greenlight.
Hi everyone! Busy month, lots going on. Here's the run-down:
We've been Greenlit for Steam! Thank you to all of you who voted for us and helped spread the word! Anyone interested in PC/Mac/Linux copies will be eligible for Steam keys, just be sure to indicate your preference when we send out your surveys.
Since our last update, I moved out to the west coast to be closer to Kalen and Aakaash. Working side by side with Kalen has already made a huge difference as we continue to refine the art direction and set up our asset pipeline to fit our technical constraints. Check our our sweet digs!
FInally, on the code side, pre-production continues. Here's a screen of what my workspace is looking like to demonstrate some of what I've been focused on.
1) Building customized editing tools in Unity to streamline our workflow
2) Early performance profiling with our new architecture
3) Re-writing core functionality (movement/animation, the tactics engine)
I'll try to do a walkthrough later on to walk through these in more detail. For now, here's a little teaser video of in-game footage that shows how our art, sound, and code are all coming together.

Liege - Post-Funding Update #23
John Rhee has posted a new post-funding update for Liege with news on the games develepment.
As mentioned in previous posts, I've been working on implementing our framework and workflow in our new engine (Unity). For those interested on the technical side of things, I wanted to share a bit about what's going on behind the scenes.
Going into our Unity port, I had a few key requirements apart from simply porting over existing functionality:
- Layered 2D environments with 3D character models
- In-game skeletal animation (for smoother animation and effects like slo-mo)
- Real-time, dynamic shadows
- Efficient workflow that leverages Unity's WYSIWYG editing features
- Acceptable performance with the above on our weaker hardware targets (mobile)
Below, you can see how our scene is composed in our editor with the above features in place:
Going from left to right, we have:
1. A system of cameras that controls the order in which the scene is drawn
2. Parts of the scene that are normally drawn over characters (i.e. trees)
3. 3D characters casting real-time shadows, rotated to align with our view (note the model is a placeholder)
4. Collision bounds, which are automatically generated from a 2D tile map
5. Parts of the scene that are normally drawn behind characters (i.e. the ground)
Here's the game running in our editor (with an older iteration of Kalen's art):
As you can see, our content aligns precisely to form the composite image that's seen in-game. This is very different from how 2D is normally handled, but it opens up lots of interesting graphical possibilities.
As this update hopefully shows, things are taking some time as we try things and iterate, but the updates will be more regular as we get further along. Thanks as always for your support, and let us know your thoughts below!

Liege - Kickstarter Update
John Rhee the developer of Liege has a new post-funding update with details about the games art, code, and sounds.
We were fortunate to have lots talented artists reach out and express interest in this project, but when I came across Kalen's work, it immediately stood out as a perfect fit. The first thing I noticed were the vibrant colors, dramatic lighting, and unique, painterly feel, and I personally can't wait to see him bring these elements into the world of Liege.
We've been speaking at length about the game's new art style and are hoping to have some in-game samples ready for our next update. In the meantime, check out more of his work here, and his Livestream here.
So you're all aware, Aakaash has taken full ownership of the game's score and sound, and John Robert has moved off the project. Both are incredibly talented composers but with very different styles, and the decision was made early to ensure consistency in our soundtrack from end to end. We wish John all the best and can't wait to hear what he'll be working on next!
Midway through our campaign, I decided to port our game engine to Unity to support our new target platforms, streamline our production pipeline, and enhance the game's overall look and feel. Unity is an amazing platform, but it's fundamentally different from our previous set of tools. At this point I'm past the steepest part of the learning curve, and I've been plugging away at reimplementing basics like player controls, event handling, and character animation. The port work will be continuing over the next few months, but with Kalen now handling art and basic due diligence out of the way, this process should start moving much quicker.
Tuesday - July 30, 2013
Liege - Game Funded
Coda Games Liege is funded and achieved all of its announced stretch goals. The developer has an update saying thank you, and giving out more information.
We finished our campaign with over 2,900 supporters and over five times our initial funding target, which was set to cover my minimum living expenses to continue pursuing this full time. Since the campaign launched, Liege has evolved from a small, one man project to something that will be much bigger and better than I could ever have hoped for.
The success we've had has enabled us to bring the game to new platforms, bring on some amazing new talent, and add some exciting new features that will add a ton to the experience. We couldn't have gotten to this point without all of your support. Thank you!

I'll begin sending out surveys to collect the necessary details to get rewards out as we get closer to our first alpha release, which will start later this year. In the meantime, if you have any questions for me at all, don't hesitate to reach out directly.
Paypal and the Humble Store
I've set up a separate page to accept Paypal payments, and in the next few days, I'll be updating the page to include payments through the Humble Store as well. If you know anyone who may be interested in the game but missed the chance to support here on Kickstarter, please send them over to http://codagames.com/paypal.
Steam Greenlight
As I mentioned earlier, Liege is currently on Steam Greenlight. Steam is one of the biggest distribution platforms for games out there, and getting onto it means we'll be able to reach a whole new audience. We're currently 50% of the way to the top 100, but we have a long way to go; help us get the rest of the way by voting here!
Artists Wanted
As you know, our Art 2.0 stretch goal means we'll be able to bring some new art talent to the project. I've already started receiving some portfolio samples, but if you're interested or know someone who might be, let me know! I'm looking specifically for someone who can take the game's existing in-game art style, and add some professional polish to take it to the next level. In addition to digital illustration, 3D animation skills are a huge plus.
Follow along
As promised, I'll be posting updates with our progress every few weeks on our website as well as on Facebook and Twitter. If you haven't already, please take a moment to like and follow us! This will be the best way for us to stay in touch, and for you to stay stay up to date with the very latest on the project.
The Road Ahead
The last few weeks have been an incredible, exhausting ride, but we're just getting started. After taking a couple days to catch my breath, I'll be switching my focus back to developing the game and putting our new resources to full use. Over the next year, I'll be working non-stop to make Liege the absolute best it can be. I can't wait to get started.

Liege - Kickstarter Halftime Show
Liege was another kickstarter project I posted on. The game is already funded with eight days left. The developer was kind enough to post a Kickstarter Halftime Show with game updates.
Hi guys! Lots of stuff has been going on over the last couple weeks. I've been super focused on churning out updates for the Kickstarter and trying to get press for the game, so I haven't been able to update much here, but here's the run down:
- We doubled our funding target with over 1000 backers with about two weeks left in the campaign!
- I released an overview of the key figures in the game, as well as some more teasers on the playable cast. Check them out below
I even have a video of early gameplay footage.

Liege - Funding Successful and Interviews
Leige the Party-Based Tactical RPG has been funded on kickstarter earning $22,381 with 21 days left. I also have two interviews. You can check them out here and here.
In well under a week we've already met our target goal. Thank you to all of you!
So what's next? With the target goal met, my focus will be shifting from getting the game made, to getting it made with the best possible production values and for as wide an audience as possible. I'll be announcing some stretch goals in the next few days, with a focus on increasing the quality of the game's art and sound assets, scaling up specific scenes and locations, and porting to additional platforms. I'm still doing some research into the last point, but as soon as I can finish the proper due diligence, I'll be making an announcement.

Liege - A Party-Based Tactical RPG
I found another promising kickstarter that at least deserves a a look it's called Liege.
What is Liege?
Liege is a party-based, tactical role-playing game for PC, Mac, iOS and Android.
Liege is a game that's inspired by Japanese RPG classics, chess, and others.
Liege is an interactive epic about ordinary people like us, placed in fantastic, larger-than-life circumstances. In equally vague terms, it's a game about family, power, love, death, and other way serious, totally heavy things.
Liege is being planned as a trilogy with a continuous story arc, with the first release scheduled for early 2014.
One late autumn eve in the Kingdom of Liege, a King, his queen, and their royal heirs fall into a deep slumber from which they never wake.
…and so our story begins. Following their mysterious deaths, a power struggle in the royal court ensues, and as the conflict quickly escalates, the Kingdom plunges into a bloody civil war. As war erupts across the land, we track the converging paths of characters aligned across various factions, from the noble houses vying for the throne, to the orphaned Royal Army, to an underground movement of outlaws with plans to incite revolution amidst the chaos.

WALLA WALLA -- Well, so much for "in like a lion, out like a lamb."
After bowing in with a steady stream of balmy days, March bowed out with rain, wind and a final, freezing night.
And that proved to be only a precursor to the late-season storm that marked the first weekend in April.
But back to March.
Capped by a high of 70 degrees on the 16th, the month as a whole was slightly warmer than normal, according to the National Weather Service. Average highs hovered around 58 degrees while nighttime lows averaged about 37 degrees.
The three coldest nights came March 9, 14 and 31, when the mercury dropped to 31 degrees.
March continued a trend of below-average precipitation with 1.11 inches measured at Walla Walla Regional Airport, a total 1.09 inches below normal. It was the fifth straight month since November with below-average precipitation. Total precipitation for the year is now 3.73 inches, 2.69 inches below normal.
There were nine days with measurable rainfall during March and 22 days of trace or zero precipitation. The heaviest one-day rainfall was March 12 with .35 inches. The next-heaviest rainfall came March 28-30 when a combined total of .38 inches were measured at the airport.
Precipitation for the water year, which started in October and runs through September, is now 9.02 inches, a mark 4.53 inches below normal.
The highest wind gust was 47 mph on March 29, as measured at the airport.
According to the national Climate Predication Center, the outlook for this month calls for below-normal temperatures and near-normal precipitation.
Normal highs during April are about 64 degrees and normal lows are about 41 degrees. Normal precipitation, based on a 30-year average, is 1.83 inches.

2002 Ford Taurus • 175,000 miles
One morning the car would not start. Although it didnt appear anything was left on "jumping the battery" seemed to work just fine. Took the car to auto zone to have the battery tested, dead battery. Replace battery and go to the families about a 200 mile roundtrip. Car was fine the entire way except up any hills. This was a problem we actually encountered before though and we assumed we needed to change spark plugs again. Got home and spark plugs are actually all firing just fine. Went to leave for work, car stalled on the first hill. Now the car wont go more than 3 miles per hour whether on an incline or not. Changed the alternater as recommended. Didnt work. Checked the air intake system as recommended but this also seems fine. The car was starting but after checking air intake system and giving it gas while idling, it wont even start now. So could this be fuel pump or fuel filter? Or something different and hopefully much more simple for us.
January 16, 2013.
January 16, 2013.
Is the battery still fully charged? As far as the fuel pump, you need to check to see if the pressure being produced is within the manufacturer's specs. For directions and a video to help you check fuel pressure, go to our home page under the DIY section.

Like Tina Turner, the Skylight Music Theatre never does anything nice and easy.
As Exhibit A, take "El Cimarrón," which opens Friday in Broadway Theatre Center's intimate Studio Theatre, 158 N. Broadway. The late Hans Werner Henze called his composition, for a bass-baritone singer, a flutist, a percussionist and a guitarist, a recital for four musicians, and that's how it's often performed. »Read Full Article
2014 Wish List: 30 things we hope will — or won't — happen in the new year
Christmas is over, but we're not done making our wish list.
With a new year comes a fresh start, and hopes and dreams for what might be in 2014. Emmy love for an oft-overlooked show. A shake-up in country music. A restraining order preventing Miley Cyrus' foam finger from entering the BMO Harris Bradley Center for her March 9 show. These are just three out of 30 things we hope will happen — or won't happen — in arts and entertainment in 2014. »Read Full Article(1)

The War of the Rosies
Cutie Patootie? Out-of-Control Boss? A Business Fracas Puts Rosie O'Donnell Under a Microscope
Maybe, as George might put it, O'Donnell is just a "Karma Chameleon." Her actions during the past six months have left many—including business partners, colleagues and some fans—wondering what she's up to. A lot has happened: In March she declared publicly that she is gay. Two months later she quit her six-year-old TV talk show, saying she wanted to spend more time with her family. In June, while performing stand-up at the Mohegan Sun Casino, the woman once known as the Queen of Nice proclaimed herself "a bitch who ain't so nice and just a big-mouthed fat lesbian," peppered her jokes with expletives and took shots at Michael Jackson ("he's a freak") and Bill Clinton ("he disgusts me"). On Sept. 18 she announced she was ditching her 16-month-old magazine, Rosie, after months of fighting with her publisher, Gruner + Jahr USA, and amid accusations that she had screamed abuse at her staff. "If I'm going to have my name and my brand on the corner of a magazine, it has to be my vision," says O'Donnell, 40. "They [G + J] tried to say it no longer could be."
While no one from Gruner + Jahr would comment on the record for this story, the company's marketing officer Cindy Spengler issued a stinging statement in the wake of O'Donnell's announcement. "She has walked away from her television show, her brand, her public personality, her civility—and now her fans, the advertising community, her business partner and her contractual responsibilities," the statement declared. G + J says it stands to lose upward of $100 million and may sue the star for damages. As an example of just how bitter the dispute had become, one passage in a 40-page legal complaint drafted by G + J alleges that O'Donnell told a female manager who was a cancer survivor, "You know what happens to people who lie? They get cancer." O'Donnell, who lost her mother to breast cancer in 1973, has campaigned for a cure and written a book on the disease. And while she admits yelling at the manager, she calls the cancer allegation "absurd." Did she blow her top in the office? Sure, she says, but only with top executives. "I am never," she says, "abusive to my staff."
As tensions increased over the summer, O'Donnell put off plans to spend more time in the office, working mostly by telephone and e-mail. In the four months since she left the TV show, she says she has devoted much of her time to such domestic pursuits as planning birthday parties and driving carpool for her three children—-Parker, 7, Chelsea, 5, and Blake, 2½—and tending to her pregnant partner, Kelli Carpenter, 35, who is expecting the couple's daughter in December. "Chelsea said to me, 'Mommy? It's better when you have no job.' I said, 'You are right, honey, it is,'" she says. Even so, "I'm not Suzie Homemaker going, 'I quit my job and show business is horrible and screw the masses.'"
Celebrity soccer mom? Foulmouthed comedian? Boss from hell? Will the real Rosie please stand up? "I have not had a personality change," insists O'Donnell, barefoot and sipping Diet Coke in a hotel room in L.A., where she is spending a weekend. "I don't think that anything I've done recently is inconsistent with what I have done my whole life." To those who have difficulty reconciling her post-TV headlines with the cheery talk show Rosie (who earned an estimated $25 million a year), she points out that the show "was afternoon, families, Merv Griffin. That doesn't mean I had a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde side that I was hiding." And although she has publicly discussed her battle with depression—notably in a Rosie cover story last year—she says that, in fact, her condition has improved in recent months. "I'm happy to say that my medicine has been greatly reduced since leaving the show," O'Donnell says. "I will probably need medication for a while, if not forever. But I am not different on it. The thing that's different is that the gray veil that surrounded me was lifted, and life once again was Technicolor."
Carpenter, she says, has also helped. "She is a gift in my life," says O'Donnell, who threatened to sue The National Enquirer after the tabloid claimed they were breaking up. "We have not now, nor have we ever considered, nor will we, break up," she says. "I know public figures aren't supposed to say that because, well, what will happen if we do? But I am telling you, inside my heart, I know this to be true."
As O'Donnell tells it, she has needed Carpenter's support more than ever during her fight with Gruner + Jahr, a division of Bertelsmann AG. Initially, O'Donnell says, she rejected the idea of her own magazine, until she saw how it had worked for Oprah Winfrey. Then G + J approached her to buy into the flagging McCall's magazine, and turn it into Rosie. O'Donnell says she made it clear from the outset that she planned to come out, quit her TV show and join a Florida lawsuit fighting for gay adoptions.
But from Rosie's first issue in May 2001, O'Donnell clashed with G + J CEO Dan Brewster and his staff—in part because her ideas went against conventional wisdom about what sells magazines. She wanted celebrities on the cover who had something to say even if they were out of the public eye, like her friend Fran Drescher, who has survived cancer, and Christopher Reeve, whom she found personally inspiring (she got Drescher on the first cover; editors balked at Reeve). She wanted social issues she believed in, like adoption, to appear as regular features. She also fought for stories that showcased friends and relatives, like the wedding of Carpenter's stepsister Heidi Safer. "I wanted a magazine that celebrates real women," she says, "that understands that they care about more than their waistline or the latest makeup styles or fashions, that they want to be relevant and help each other and care about the world, that they are smart enough to tackle issues in society that women's magazines think they are too stupid for."
After an initial spike, newsstand sales declined from 875,000 to 300,000. And although many of O'Donnell's ideas sold well—including a July '01 cover story about her staph infection—"sometimes," says one insider, "Rosie would push for covers that weren't good." (Her suggestion of Boy George was rejected.) The acrimony between O'Donnell and Brewster continued to build, reaching a head in July, when the magazine's founding editor, Cathy Cavender, was replaced by Susan Toepfer (a former editor at PEOPLE).
"They got into an absolutely terrible wrangle," a Rosie source says of O'Donnell, Toepfer and Brewster. O'Donnell admits screaming at Toepfer via speakerphone on her third day because the editor wanted Rosie to appear with the stars of The Sopranos on the cover, and O'Donnell wasn't interested. "She said, 'Fact is, it will sell more with you on the cover.' Fact is, when I am mad, I am mad," recalls O'Donnell, who says she never wanted to appear on covers but was persuaded to by G + J.
Brewster called a meeting and told the staff that Toepfer was in charge of the day-to-day running of the magazine, not Rosie. O'Donnell was incensed, all the more because the meeting was held in her personal office while she was away. "Unfortunately, it escalated, and I yelled at the CEO," O'Donnell says. "I told him this was not the deal we made. I said, 'This is America. You don't own my name.'" On another occasion, insiders say O'Donnell warned staffers, "If there is one more leak to the press, then Rosie is through. All of this affects you a lot more than it affects me. I'm already a f———millionaire." (O'Donnell says she wasn't threatening—or bragging—just pointing out what was at stake.)
Back in her early stand-up days in the mid-1980s, O'Donnell "was always trying to do nice things for people," says longtime friend and comedy-club manager Louis Faranda. "If there was a comic that wasn't getting stage time, she'd tell somebody to put this comic on." On her TV show, though, O'Donnell was notoriously tough to work with. She went through a string of different producers during her six-year tenure on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, where "she was known to be very, very difficult," says a source. "But she did things like fight to give her staff incredibly long vacations each summer, which is not the norm in television. So they were very loyal." (Upon announcing her withdrawal from the magazine, O'Donnell dispersed $10,000 checks to more than 30 loyal Rosie staffers.)
"Look, Rosie is no shrinking violet," says Jim Paratore, president of Telepictures Productions (part of AOL Time Warner, the parent company of PEOPLE), which produced the Rosie show. "She's very demanding of herself and everyone around her. But at the same time she was never anything but a pro. Did we agree on everything? Absolutely not. But was it always a conversation? Did you get to have your voice heard? Absolutely."
O'Donnell knows she's hard work. "What I said to my [TV staff] when we left is, 'I pushed you really hard. But I hope you've raised the level for yourself and that you will jump higher.'" She also knows that fame has allowed her certain privileges. "If you accept being sanctified," she says, "you have to accept being vilified." For the record, O'Donnell says she is happy to walk away from her initial $6 million investment in Rosie magazine if it means reclaiming her brand name. "And if a judge decides I owe [G + J] every cent I ever made?" asks O'Donnell. "I'll give it to them. Because I know I am telling the truth."
Has Rosie changed? Not a bit, say her friends. She of the new short haircut—and perhaps even shorter temper—is the same Rosie who shops at Target, rides her Harley-Davidson Sportster to Miami's 11th Street Diner for pita pockets and Diet Coke and leaves the waiters oversize tips; the same angry and articulate political activist who berates politicians in a quest to legalize gay adoption; the same money-spinning icon whose Barbie Doll replica has raked in millions for Mattel but who has given $7.6 million of her own estimated $100 million-plus fortune to charity—including more than $2 million donated to 9/11 causes. "Ro is who she always has been," says her lifelong friend Jackie Ellard. "The TV show was the least of her. Not that she's not funny and generous and always for the underdog. But interviewing celebrities—that's so not her."
So what now? With the magazine behind her, O'Donnell plans to spend more time at her family's five-bedroom home in Nyack, N.Y. She is selling her Manhattan townhouse and is even considering selling her $6.75 million retreat in Miami Beach, to simplify. "One home," she says, "where the kids each have one bike, where they ride Big Wheels and go to block parties." There's the birth of the next baby (conceived by artificial insemination with sperm from an anonymous donor) to look forward to.
And to keep busy, there's always her obsession with Broadway: O'Donnell has already seen the hit revival of Hairspray four times, and she's looking for theaters to stage Boy George's show. Despite the bad press, and although it is likely that G + J will pursue a lawsuit against her for financial losses, O'Donnell says she is at peace with herself, her decisions and her behavior. The day she announced her withdrawal from the magazine, "I put on the Hairspray CD," she recalls, "and I waited backstage with it blasting. Then I read my statement and went home. That afternoon, when I picked up my kids and we stopped for ice cream, was the happiest I felt in four years."

Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to pmiranda
Hi pmiranda,
Just to clarify as this issue has been maddening...
So you installed the 6.1 update from the past week-ish and it sounds like you're saying that each you get back into your car, your iPhone is playing a new random song and not reverting back to same song.
This would be outstanding news because every time I've been getting in the car I keep hearing the exact same song that I heard when I previously got out of the car. I am so sick of that song
What every normal human being wants with shuffle all songs is to hear a new song from their iPhone each time they get into the car
So, if the latest IOS update solves this issue, I cannot wait to install it tonight! I just wanted to make sure I understand your last post correctly.
Many thanks in advance for your reply,
pmiranda Feb 6, 2013 2:47 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to benjamin d
I don't use shuffle, but starting with 6.0, before 6.1, if the music app got removed from active memory (either due to low battery while inactive, or simply due to switching between enough other apps that got memory re-allocated to them) it would jump back to the last "checkpoint" it had saved, which is usually the last song you explicitly selected from a playlist as opposed to songs you skipped over or had listened to.
With 6.1, the music app now seems to remember exactly where it left off, even the position within the song, even if other apps were used or the battery ran low.
So hopefully this solves most of the problems people were seeing. I know there were some other issues that were raised during this thread, but I hadn't experienced them so I can't tell if they were ever addressed.
Very annoying that Apple never acknowledged the issue or mentioned it in the release notes as being addressed. Maybe they were never officially aware that somebody broke something in the code and it was quietly fixed.

Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to pmiranda
Another post to confirm that this issue is far from fixed with an upgrade to iOS 6.1 -- at least for me with my iPhone 4S.
While Music.app may remember the last song played when playing songs without suffle enabled (for some), it will not remember the last song played if you've set Music.app to shuffle your library or playlist. Same annoying issue that has been around since upgrading to iOS 6. As others have reported, this issue did not exist under iOS 5.x.
I've also left feedback with Apple and urge others to do the same. They do not read these Discussion pages: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
I can confirm that this is no closer to being fix ed on iOS 6.1. I also found my music app unable to be opened earlier this week; it would load the framework o the app (blank screen with progress bar and play/ff/rw buttons) and freeze there for maybe 30 seconds, then crash. It resolved, but it was doing it all day.
They really need to figure out the shuffle issue though...
phraxion Feb 7, 2013 6:42 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to TheHYPO35
So far Barry.Houghton's suggestion to disable music sync from iTunes, then re-enable it and sync again has fixed this so far on iOS 6.1 on 4S. Now this is only the first day, but each time I went back to the music app it remembered my position regardless of how many apps or the battery level. Until I disabled/re-enabled the music sync I was experincing the "can't remember your place in the playlist" issue.
phraxion Feb 8, 2013 4:13 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
Scratch that. Still broken in 6.1
pmiranda Feb 8, 2013 4:18 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
Ugh. Seemed to be fine for a couple days but then started falling back to the wrong place again. I wonder if its related to me charging it off my laptop?
Barry.Houghton Feb 8, 2013 5:18 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to pmiranda
It would seem that mine is conditionally working. over the last week or so, I have had success but the beginning of this week it started failing when I didn't have the music app actually loaded into memory. My testing so far has been:
- Just start playing music (App not loading into memory), next day music skips back.
- Load app into memory, play music, at end of day delete from memory, next day repeat and all is well.
- Load app into memory, play music, at end of day leave app in memory, switch phone off, next day switch phone on, app still in memory, playback is ok
Option 3 I have only been running with for a couple of days and so far still ok, this is a slight improvement to pre 6.1 where I would only have success with option 2.
I believe they have partially fixed this, overlooking the fact that the app doesn't load to memory if you just connect headphones and press play.
When I installed 6.1 there was definitely a change made to the Music App as when I launched the app for the first time after the install, it had switched back to my list of playlists and not to the playlist it was on when I did the install.
I notice some people aren't using the shuffle option, all of my testing and gripes have been using shuffle. Perhaps starting next week I will test without shuffle and see how it goes.
When this is all over I shall be considering sending Apple an invoice for the time I have spent testing their screwup, I reckon I have built up enough to buy a brand new Samsung!!!
Scottc1978 Feb 15, 2013 8:39 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
I've been running into this too. I first noticed this problem a long time ago, I think even before IOS 6 came out. I've even had my iPod replaced (different issue) and the replacement one does it too. I've been in communication with Apple and they are submitting the issue but I've been told that it's something about the alga something or other. I have no clue what that is.
I'm very disappointed that so many of us are running into this and yet Apple can't do anything about it? A nano or shuffle is capable of resuming, yet a highly intelligent iPod touch or iPhone isn't? Something doesn't add up here.
In my case, I find that when it resumes back at the original track, it doesn't play the songs in the same shuffled order, it plays the same songs but in a different order.
devans15 Feb 17, 2013 7:32 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
I'm super glad I'm not alone in this. It's been getting seriously frustrating. My older model iPod is at least starting off where I left it, which works for when I'm at the gym but I use my iPhone 4S primarily while at work. I have one master playlist that I listen to everday and it's annoying starting at the same place again and then having to reshuffle to get some varierty. If I leave my desk to speak with a co-worker or have a meeting its reverted again when I get back. It's especially annoying when I don't notice at first until a recognizable song comes on and suddenly I realize. I just downloaded a new update an hour ago so I'm going to test it to see if it's fixed but I get the feeling it isn't.
Barry.Houghton Feb 18, 2013 3:13 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
Well, it would seem that my initial statement relating to 6.1 was incorrect, this issue is still not resolved! It did seem to be ok for about a week, but then reverted back to the same **** problem.
The only workaround that is still consistently working is making sure the music app is loaded into memory, play music, then when finished close the app in memory. Next time load the app and then play music and plays from the last track played.
The key is ensuring the app has been loaded and is appearing in the list of open apps.
I would be interested to know how many of you are using this workaround and if it is working for you or not or if it is just working for me.
Going to go and leave some uncomplementary feedback now.
phraxion Feb 22, 2013 5:41 AM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to Barry.Houghton
What currently seems to work for me is to pause music from the music app instead of from the lock screen or by pulling the wire from the earphone jack. So on my morning drive once I stop, I just unlock the phone, pull up the music app and hit the pause button there. Then, no matter what I do throughout the day when I come back to resume play it seems to pick up right where it left off.
If I pause it from the lock screen or from anywhere outside the music app it doesn't seems to remember its place once the music app is dropped from active memory.
So far I'm happy with this, although its a stupid workaround
Barry.Houghton Feb 23, 2013 5:33 AM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
I am in total despair. I updated to 6.1.2 and now my phone won't connect to wifi!!!!!
I did the update even though the update related to Exchange and battery drain, I figure Apple don't want to publicise they have screwed up the music app. So far my music hasn't skipped back since the update, but it is early days to say 6.1.2 fixes it, but now no wifi. That is worse than skipping music.
Since Jobs passed away it seems that apple have become some sort of two bit operation not the multi billion organisation that it once was, poor man must be freaking out in his grave seeing what they are doing to his beloved company. May he haunt the bloody **** out of them till they get it right. Current company should rebrand to aple or applle and sell their items from dodgy traders or eBay.
I have a Z10 coming next week for work, if it proves better I may just use that as my primary phone.
Laos Darkness Feb 25, 2013 4:43 PM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
Yeah I don't like that it starts the song over from the beginning. Bring back the "begin play where you left off" option
CHiKouNe Feb 28, 2013 11:23 AM
Re: iOS 6: Music playback issues? in response to phraxion
I never upgraded to iOS 6 because I didn't have the free space for it and later on was glad I didn't because of all the negative feedback. When I got prompted for iOS 6.1 I thought Apple would have fixed most things that were wrong with iOS 6 so I decided I would eventually upgrade. Ever since I did, I've had this music playback problem and it's driving me nuts. I have a playlist of 1100 songs that I play on shuffle in my car through Bluetooth and the only time I've been able to dodge the problem was when I paused the music on my phone instead of just letting it stop by itself by turning off my car. I shouldn't have to keep reminding myself to pause it with my phone....
Anyway, I just sent feedback to Apple... I sure hope they fix this soon!

Hey there,
I'm seeing a good number of downloads for the WP_SMF bridge, but few comments. How are things going for everyone?
Having trouble installing? Working well?
Please let me know, I'd love to see how the bridge is working out for everyone!
Hey there,
I'm seeing a good number of downloads for the WP_SMF bridge, but few comments. How are things going for everyone?
Having trouble installing? Working well?
Please let me know, I'd love to see how the bridge is working out for everyone!
Just a reminder to those new to the bridge:
It's a two-part bridge. WP_SMF is hosted on WordPress, and installs as a plugin into WordPress. It must be under the directory "wp-content/plugins/wp_smf/". It must also be configured under the admin panel under "Plugins->SMF".
The second part of the bridge, the "twin plugin", is called SMF_Wordpress. It is installed as a regualar plugin into SMF. It can be downloaded here:
Let me know how it goes for all of you!
Does this work without any problems with WP 2.3?
I just recently installed this using WP 2.3 and SMF 1.1.4
The syncing of user information back and forth works, the login part does not work for me.
This is the problem I am having: I log into WP then go to SMF. SMF is still asking me to login. The weird think though is that in the Users Online box on the SMF screen my user name shows up as online.
It's like a record is getting recorded in the SMF database to register me as online, but the SMF cookies are not getting set properly, so I'm not actually being logged in.
Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
jjgallow any thoughts?
I've had the same problem that seeknetlife had. Sadly, it doesn't seem like jjgallow will be working on the bridge anymore.
I hope somebody else will be able to update the bridge for new versions of SMF and WP. I like SMF a lot and it would be great to have it.
I'm kind of stunned no one has done this. I wish I knew how. Great way to build traffic to your website is to build this and give it away.
Is there anyone out there that has provided a working and supported bridge?
jjgalow, i've installed this on smf 1.1.5 and wpmu: so far working very well.
the only hiccup is that the smf stats does not seem to register new registration in the smf_log-activity? new users registered, yet the stats (index.php?action=stats) show zero registration for the month.
not sure if this is related to this bridge.
I'm using it (here) on WP 2.3.3 with SMF 1.1.4. I've modified it a bit so users can sync with their existing forum account, even though their WP accounts were new.
I've upgraded the site (on a dev environment) to WP 2.5.1 and SMF 1.1.5 and it broke (because of WP 2.5.1).
I hope something will turn up from here.
I'm using WP 2.5.1 and being I don't really care much for bbPress, I would also like to find a bridge for SMF 1.1.5 (user self-registrations disabled on the forum) but would import my WP members.
Well gumfi claims that the plugin works with 2.5.1, but for me, once I activate it, I get kicked out of the site, and cannot login until I delete the plugin files.
Anyone else had this sort of problem?
Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread...
Trying to use the bridge here too.
Getting a very odd bug with it, however. Using Safari on my Mac, I can create an account in WP, login to it, then visit the forums, where I am automatically logged in, I can log out and log back in, no problems, I can edit my password with no issues either.
However on Firefox on my Mac, or on my clients PC or IE on his PC, this function is broken. The account is created both in WP and SMF, but the user is never logged into SMF, nor will it allow you to log in independantly.
Very confused about this, since with it working on Safari 3, I would expect both Firefox 3 and IE7 to have no issues.
In FF3, i cant login to the forum installed with this bridge; not sure if this is a browser or bridge issues...
Ha! I've found the problem (for my case, at least)!
It has nothing to do with cookies or wordpress 2.5, but with the sql connection in the api.
In smf_api_1.1.php, in line 166 we should change:
@mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd)
@mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd, true)
This will prevent the SMF bridge from hogging the sql connection, thus allowing for wordpress to keep on running as usual
Thanks, yassa!!!
It solves the "kick out" and registration problems but it's still impossible to manage/bridge single login/logout between WP and SMF. Please help :)
I'm interested in this as well.
Does it work with WP 2.6?
