WIP: Planning to build JA general grievous command ship
Im planning on building general grievous' command ship from ep3 in the opening scene.
Was wondering were there any schematics of his ship or of the republic battle cruiser on the net somewhere?
Thanks, K
Do you intend to make it as a map or a model?
I've made a model for XWA, the OPT format could easily be converted to 3DS - if you want to convert it.
- Clickie -
As a map mate, by any chance would you have made a model of anikans jedi fighter?
Thanks, K
Wasn't there already one made for JO/JA?
Anyway, have a look at http://www.mtdindustries.com/xwa and ask DTM, he's made one.

While a good handheld mister-with-attached-fan will help you cool down for few minutes, will the regular old H2O inside help cleanse and moisturize your skin? Um, well, maybe, since that's what water does - but special water, like the Reviva Labs Rosewater Facial Spray ($9), which contains rose extracts, aloe, vitamins, and various other plant-life particles, can do it better.

The most recent of gallery director Laura Montgomery's 'theme-related' art shows is currently on exhibit at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery.
Drawn to Conclusion features drawings of four Boston artists: Kyle Lindholm, William St. George, Kate Sullivan and Maddhu Huacuja, who also exhibited on the Chelsea campus last spring www.examiner.com/arts-in-boston/bhcc-chelsea-campus-artist-s-reception-f....
At the artists's reception Thursday night the gallery walls seemed to vibrate in gorgeous color and riveting black and white. Subject matter as divergent as mountain cities in Afghanistan and classic modes of public transportation drew the eye to examine everything more closely.
A series of graphite drawings by Kate Sullivan created quite a bit of conversation and comment, mostly of the 'I can't believe that's not a photograph' variety. Sullivan, who once worked as a transportation data consultant, has drawn trolleys and buses, streetcars and street scenes. Graphite detail of the peeling paint on the front of a steam locomotive is so authentic that it was easy to understand art goers surprise. Sullivan uses her own photographs and seeks for a 'completely realistic' representation.
Another wall shows horses, some in a gallop, others in full still frame of their stunning faces. Artist William St. George, a long time successful painter, gallery owner and lover of horses, for this series chose to return to charcoal drawing, to make full use of the 'power of black and white'. www.stgeorgegallery.com.
The exhibit runs through January 7, 2011. Don't miss it. See the college website for gallery hours. www.bhcc.mass.edu/artgallery

If I work at building a (insert your object here), I have to cover cost of materials, but don't you also pay for the labor time and in some cases the artistry behind it? Just because it's tangible, doesn't mean it's worth more.
A lot of music is free now because people began STEALING it online years ago. There was no way to compete and therefore, people began going with the flow, offering up stuff just to get it in the hands. There isn't another way now...that's the reality. (Pay want you want seems good IMHO)
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to stand up for the record companies that usually kept most of the profit anyway, but I get REALLY uncomfortable when people start seeing art as a "free hobby" that shouldn't be worth as much.
I also agree that if it doesn't cost anything, people tend to think it isn't worth anything.

Our Charities
Every dollar the AHRF uses to fund research into hearing loss brings us
closer to cures and treatments that will improve the lives of the 36 million
people in the United States who are hearing impaired. AHRF-funded medical
research helps shed light on why hearing is lost, and how it can be treated and
restored through new medical therapies, or by improving current technologies
like hearing aids and cochlear implants. Every dollar donated to the AHRF helps
researchers buy supplies for their labs, perform their experiments and hire lab
technicians and shape future treatments and cures for hearing loss, which
affects 17 percent of Americans, and one in three people older than 65. So just
one dollar spent on cutting edge hearing research has the potential to improve
the quality of life for millions of hard of hearing and deaf people in the
United States, and even more worldwide.
Research funded by the
American Hearing Research Foundation over the last five years has yielded many
key insights into potential medical treatments for hearing loss. AHRF
researchers have:
Begun screening hundreds
of drugs for their potential to influence hair cells and neurons in the inner
ear which are lost or damaged in hearing loss. This kind of large drug library
screening has never before been performed to test for potential drugs to treat
hearing loss.
Developed a technique to
grow large numbers of hair cells for use in lab experiments, eliminating the
laborious and time-consuming process of manually collecting the small numbers
of hair cells present in individual cochleas.
Use stem cells to
produce spiral ganglion neurons- the neurons responsible to carrying sound
information from the hair cells to the auditory nerve. The death of these
neurons is a major cause of hearing loss.
Developed the first
genetic therapy to restore hearing in a mouse model.
Identified and described
crucial inner ear structures responsible for balance.
The American Hearing Research Foundation reaches more than 100,000 health
consumers and patients seeking quality information on hearing and balance
disorders through its website, www.american-hearing.org, and its print and
electronic newsletters. The AHRF provides more than 30 in-depth,
physician-authored articles on hearing and balance disorders with links to
current research and resources to find additional support. The AHRF also presents
information on hearing and provides hearing testing at senior centers, health
fairs, conferences and meetings attended by patients and physicians alike. The
AHRF fields specific questions on hearing loss that come in over the phone and
by email and provides responses from our physician board members.
Beginning in April, 2013, and occurring annually going forward, the AHRF
will offer a day-long educational opportunity for patients on various hearing
and balance topics. The first AHRF symposium will focus on dizziness and
balance disorders, and will feature nine physician experts as speakers. The symposium
is free, and includes breakfast and lunch. Between seventy and ninety attendees
are expected.

Machinery HDR 2.9 64bit
Have you tried it?
Really like Machinery HDR 2.9 64bit. I've tried many other offerings and found this product to be superb. I have used Oleneo and Easy HDR and IMO both yield poorer results. Also, Photomatx doesn't do as good a job without further tweaking. Oleneo and Easy HDR don't handle combining images from several frames when large areas are over or underexposed. Easy HDR is not actually "easy" – the interface is convoluted, has lots of unclear options with technical names and it is hard to guess what they mean.
So far my tests show that Machinery, by far, gives the best image quality. I'm only curious whether or not the full version is as fast as the demo when processing large images.

If two square matrices, $A$ and $B$, of the same size and with complex entries commute, why does $\overline{A}$ (the complex conjugate of $A$) commute with $B$? If this is not true, is it true if one is nilpotent?
Sign up

If $A$ commutes with $B$, then $\overline{A}$ commutes with $\overline{B}$. If $B$ is real, then $\overline{B} = B$ and your claim is true. However, this is not true in general. For example, $A$ commutes with itself, but $A$ does not necessarily commute with $\overline{A}$. For a nilpotent example, take $$A = \pmatrix{0&i&0\\0&0&1\\0&0&0}$$ and check that $A \overline{A} \ne \overline{A} A$.
What's going on: If $A$ commutes with $B$, and $v$ is an eigenvector of $B$ with eigenvalue $c$, then $B(Av) = A(Bv) = c(Av)$. Thus $Av$, if it is nonzero, is another eigenvector of $B$ with the same eigenvalue $c$. Now if you replace $A$ with $\overline{A}$, there is no reason to expect that $\overline{A} v$ will be an eigenvector of $B$ with eigenvalue $c$, just because $Av$ is.

Bleach has gotten such a bad reputation over the years, but while bleaching the hair can be damaging in the hands of the unexperienced, when performed correctly it is the only way to achieve certain haircolor results. When performed by a skilled stylist, bleaching the hair is no more damaging than any other chemical service, such as perming or chemically straightening the hair.
What is so great about bleach? For starters, it is the only way to lighten dark hair color in order to achieve ultra-light pale and platinum blondes. While permanent hair dye has the ability to lighten hair a few shades, dye alone is simply inadequate when it comes to going from extremely dark to extremely light. Permanent hair dye only has the ability to lighten virgin hair, or hair that has never been chemically processed. For example, hair that has been dyed brown can only be made blonde with the use of bleach. Simply putting a blonde shade of dye on hair that has been dyed brown will have absolutely no effect on the hair (except for perhaps turning the roots orange)!
The reason why bleach has gained a reputation for damaging the hair is because many stylists do not understand how to mix a bleach formula. Although there are several different types of bleach, the most popular bleach for salon use is powdered bleach. This powder must be mixed with a hydrogen peroxide developer in order to lighten hair. Developer comes in different varieties, based on the oxygen content of the developer. There are four popular "strengths" of developer: 10 volume, 20 volume, 30 volume, and 40 volume. Of these formulas, 10 volume has the lowest oxygen content and 40 volume has the highest.
This is where most hairstylists make mistakes. They assume that 40 volume developer is "stronger" and that 10 volume developer is "weaker". This is a common fallacy, even among experienced stylists. The truth is that 10 volume developer isn't any stronger or weaker than a 40 volume developer; it just takes longer for a 10 volume developer and bleach mixture to lighten the hair because of the reduced oxygen content. As a result, many stylists will mix powdered bleach with 30 or 40 volume developer in the misguided belief that they will be able to achieve a lighter result.
The truth is that 20 volume developer will lighten hair just as much as a 30 or 40 volume developer- it just takes more time. The damage to the hair occurs when this process is sped up with the use of heat or a high-volume developer. In other words, the faster the hair is lightened, the more damage that will occur. When a client with black hair wants to become a blonde, many stylists will automatically mix powdered bleach with 30 or 40 volume developer and then stick the client under a heated dryer. While this method will quickly lighten hair, it may also cause irreparable damage. On the other hand, if the stylist had mixed the bleach with a 20 volume developer and processed the client's hair at room temperature, it would take longer to get to blonde, but the hair would be much healthier as a result.
Bleach that has been exposed to the air for too long may become weak after a while, so if your goal is to lighten dark hair to a very pale blonde, it may be necessary to wipe the bleach off the hair and re-apply a fresh mixture after fifteen or twenty minutes.
By bleaching hair the proper way, you can achieve the results you want with minimal damage to your hair. But, as always, coloring or bleaching the hair is best left in the hands of a skilled and experienced professional.

Martha Wainwright
"I had no classical training, but I had angst and heartbreak and fantastic music all around me. What more could I need?"
- Martha Wainwright, on learning music while growing up.
Canadian-American singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright has long been a force on the folk-rock music scene, collaborating with many prominent artists, including members of her immediate family. With her acclaimed debut, Martha Wainwright, she made a name for herself in her own right.
But don't just take our word for it: Martha was once propositioned by none other than Bob Dylan. "He had seen me up in New York once when I was wearing a low-cut dress and he called me up and asked to go out on a date," she explains. Regrettably, Martha wasn't able to parlay Dylan's interest into a spot opening for the rock legend on tour.
Even after coming into her own with her CD, Martha continued to be linked to her more famous family members -- although they, as Martha puts it, have only "had brushes with a sort of stardom" because they don't do shallow pop music.
Martha Wainwright BiographyMartha Wainwright was born in New York City on May 8, 1976. She's the daughter of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and the sister of singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright. After her parents divorced, the young Martha went to live with her mother in Montreal, Canada. Martha had a turbulent relationship with her father, who could only communicate to her through his songs. When Martha was 14, she moved back to New York for a year to live with Loudon, who subsequently wrote a song about the experience, "I'd Rather Be Lonely." "He really crossed the line there," Martha admitted.
Martha spent her childhood exposed to a wide variety of music, and while "it wasn't the Von Trapp family," as Martha later reflected, the Wainwright children sang a lot, and Martha was singing on albums with her famous family members as early as age 7. Nevertheless, by her teenage years, Martha was rebelling against joining the "family business." She wanted to be an actress, then a scholar; but after a year of university, Martha decided academia wasn't for her after all, and she turned back to singing and songwriting.
martha wainwright in the aviatorIn 1998, Martha moved back to New York -- this time to stay -- and began working on various projects with family members and other musicians. She collaborated with her mother and aunt, duo Kate & Anna McGarrigle, on their album The McGarrilgle Hour. That year, Martha also sang backing vocals on her brother's acclaimed debut album, Rufus Wainwright, and later went on tour with him. The next year, Martha could be heard singing on Dan Bern's album Smartie Mine and Boo Hewerdine's Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, Martha formed her own band -- which included her cousin Lily Lankin -- and played steadily in New York clubs as a headliner and as an opening act. Martha recorded a number of tapes and EPs between 1997 and 2004, mostly to sell at her shows. In between gigs, she still lent her voice to recordings for her mother and aunt, father, and brother. She even had an appearance in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator (2004) as a sultry singer, and her rendition of "I'll Be Seeing You" was featured on the film's soundtrack.
martha wainwright records bmfaIn 2004, Martha released her first official EP, Bloody Mother F***ing A**hole, or BMFA. (The title song, not surprisingly, is about Martha's father, Loudon.) The disk received praise from the likes of Norah Jones, Rolling Stone, and London's Sunday Times. BMFA served as a prelude to Martha's long-awaited, full-length CD, Martha Wainwright (2005), which featured many of the same songs that she had released on her independent EPs, including "BMFA."
Martha spent the year following the album's release touring relentlessly. In the first half of 2006 alone, Martha played at music festivals as far away as England and Denmark, and appeared on talk shows from The Late Show with David Letterman to TV-Huset in Sweden.

Just wondering, can you create a multi player game using this? I am working through the crash courses, and I can see that you can make a game to play multi player on the same computer, but what about a game connecting different computers?
That's why writing code is better than building lego bricks :) try typing out the code and translating to your stencyl structure.
Is there a linux version in the works?
And will there be open-standard output, to webGL and html?
EDIT Just checked your website. There is a linux version, but only .deb. Could you build a .RPM too, for SUSE and fedora users?
Looks Nice
I've heard of some "Code Mode" but can you code parts of your Stencyl game with AS2?

Sorry but the code mode is only in AS3
Quoted from Stencyl website:
Do I need to know ActionScript?
Absolutely not. You can use it, but the vast majority of our users prefer to use our visual tools to build their game's behaviors.
What if I want to use ActionScript instead of the visual designer?
You can use ActionScript 3 via a built-in code editor or an external editor.

Aww well that's all right I'll just stick to flash.
But seriously, can u earn cash through revenues and/or contest with games made with Stencyl… assuming of course i use my own actors, behaviors, tiles, scenes, etc?
masterr: Yes, the games you create are your own – barring, as you said, any assets that you didn't produce yourself and might be restricted under some license (Creative Commons, etc). You're entirely welcome to attempt to sell or seek sponsorship for your games. Also, Mochi Ads was recently added to Stencyl for easy insertion of advertisements. Kongregate will auto-display ads (and auto-disable MochiAds actually) for any Flash games here – and that could result in income for you.
Does anyone here know about scratch…is stenyl similar…i just made a game on scratch but can't use it…is stencyl just as good…I hope so.
I'm a massive fan of Stencyl, and am really stoked to see it finally unveiled here on Kongregate. I know you guys will put it to good use. The potential here cannot be overstated. If the right people get a hold of this tool, it could be one of the best communities and centers for independent developers. I strongly recommend anyone taking a few days to really get into it.
I made Balls in Space in about 6 weeks, including the time it took to learn the tools and countless hours goofing around and tweaking little art nonsense. You can make games quickly and sell them to sponsors with this tool, and I really hope it introduces game development to a whole new audience of creators.

My games show the highlight of stencyl games
Originally posted by warrington:My games show the highlight of stencyl games
Too bad I can't shot you in the head via Internet.
Might have to download and try. Always wanted to make a game, I just get turned away by the complex elements such as coding.
Stencyl is great programming for me……….
More of a hobby then a job……….
Stencyl doesn't take out the fun of logical thinking and knowing how to program is still necessary.
However the code snapping lets you avoid syntax error (the most boring ones i think…) and trascend to the language you are using.
That means that you are "writing" in a kind pseudo-code, which is the most abstract natural programming language.
This allows you to refine your thinking and code in whatever language Stencyl support istantly without learning his statements, syntax and conventions.
I also found easier to switch later to real Actionscript3 and Java when i needed them, because i was used to program more complex behaviours and debug them.
well this sounds good, from what i have head so far it supports actionscript3, well this should be a great tool because im still have a lot to learn about actionscript3 and i can still use my small amount of knowledge, well i just got adobe flash cs6 for nothing then
This is great! I'm a C++ programmer myself and I've always wanted to make web games, but don't have the time to learn the actionscript or java differences lol. So I'm glad I can just use game logic rather than a new language!
I got my D.
I'm done with it now.
I just sit back and let Kongregate pay me.
I tried Stencyl and making a sploder game and did not like it. I moved on to the Unity 3d and find it alot easier. I shall be making a WW2 Airplane fighter game in the next few months.

Samsung announces feature-packed and expensive SPH-W6050 for Korea
Officially announced today, the Samsung Anycall SPH-W6050 is the latest 5-megapixel cameraphone to appear under Korea's handset spotlight. While it may look rather bland, looks are deceiving, as aside from a 5MP auto-focus cam, it also features a built-in DMB TV tuner.
And if that's not enough, a 3-inch WVGA LCD touchscreen display is also on-board, as well as Samsung's Haptic user interface and Internet browser. Some users may also like the simplicity of its design, which is key to making it look good on hand and on a table.
This new handset supports HSUPA and 3G connectivity, which could make that front-facing camera very useful. Of course, there's the usual array of mobile phone features available with the Samsung SPH-W6050 and expandable memory via microSD cards.
No word yet on a release outside of Korea, but in that part of Asia it will retail from 800,000 Korean Won or nearly $600 at the very least.

It was another impressive weekend at the box office for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" as the film edged its way back into the number one spot and in the process, became the highest-grossing movie of the summer for the domestic box office. However, "Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" didn't have nearly as much luck attracting audiences as the sequel opened to eighth place with an embarrassing $6.5 million.
Just in time for high school football to kick off, "When the Game Stands Tall" swept into theaters garnering $9 million during its opening weekend for a fifth place debut. The Thomas Carter directed sports drama is inspired by the extraordinary true story of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur's time at De La Salle High School. The retelling follows coach Ladouceur as he leads the Spartans from obscurity to a 151-game winning streak, shattering all records for any American sport along the way. "When the Game Stands Tall" stars Jim Caviezel, Alexander Ludwig and Michael Chiklis.
Despite poor initial reviews, "Let's Be Cops" was the fourth most-watched movie earning $11 million during its second week. The Luke Greenfield directed comedy follows two male friends looking for something more in life. The hilarious duo begins to pose as police officers after becoming a neighborhood sensation while wearing badges during a costume party. However, their secret is put to the test when they encounter dirty detectives and a web of mobsters. "Let's Be Cops" stars Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr. and Nina Dobrev.
Newcomer "If I Stay" made an impression by garnering $16.4 million for third place. Based on Gayle Forman's 2009 young adult novel of the same name, the drama offers a unique perspective of a coma patient. The young Mia Hall has an out-of-body experience after a serious car accident leaves her in a coma. Miss Hall is faced with deciding whether to wake up to a life much different than she imagined, or not. "If I Stay" stars Chloe Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos and Jamie Blackley.
After owning the top spot for two weeks in a row, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" bowed to second place earning $16.8 million. The live-action remake brings Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello to life as they rise from the sewers of New York City to unravel Shredder's deadly grip on the city. The Jonathan Liebesman directed flick stars Megan Fox as fearless reporter April O'Neil and Will Arnett as her photographer Vernon Fenwick.
Yet again selling more tickets than any other production at the box office, "Guardians of the Galaxy" has returned to the number one spot with $17.6 million. During its climb back to the top, the Marvel movie has become the highest-grossing summer film domestically. "Transformers: Age of Extinction" previously held the honor with $243.8 million, but "Guardians" pulled ahead during its fourth week with $251.9 million and counting. Experts predict "Guardians" will surpass "Captain America: The Winter Soldier's" earnings of $259.8 million by Friday to become the highest-grossing production of the year.
"Guardians" isn't expected to budge from the top spot as we enter the last week of August. Pierce Brosnan's "The November" man is scheduled for an early Wednesday release ahead of Jennifer Aniston's limited opening of "Life of Crime" on Friday, August 29th. Some films to look for in September include: "The Maze Runner" (September 19th), "This is Where I Leave You" (September 19th) "The Equalizer" (September 26th) and "The Boxtrolls" (September 26th).

I can appreciate a wine offered during a flight. It is not uncommon to be offered a selection of wines, but since pressurised cabins affect your taste, does it make sense? Can you assume that your personal preferences on the ground remain the same at high altitude? Is there any research on how your taste changes?
Taste is dulled at altitude, which is one reason airline food tends to have far more salt, garlic, and other strong flavors. You are correct that you can't assume that your preferences in the air will be identical to on the ground. You may find that red wines taste better in the air, for example. The best advice is to try different flavors and see what you like in the environment. You can also try to book flights on the B787 ("Dreamliner") which has higher air pressure (lower cabin altitude) and higher humidity.

The 16-year-old emu, "Lucy" is still on the loose after escaping from his pen Nanaimo, British Columbia last Monday.
Not only does he miss his pet (who by the way is a male, despite his name), owner Tim Genner is afraid that it might become a victim of malicious individuals who would look to harm or even shoot the bird.
Lucy was last reported near Colliery Dam Park Tuesday. If anyone sees him, Genner is pleading with them to call the Royal Mounted Police in Nanaimo, rather than try to catch the emu themselves.
Native to Australia, emus are large birds, often standing anywhere from nearly 5-6.2-feet tall and weighing between 40-132 lbs. They have small vestigial wings, with a small claw at the tip, as well as long claws on their toes, which are used to inflict wounds on their enemies. It should also be noted that their long legs are "among the strongest of any animals, powerful enough to tear down metal wire fences."

Digital Detox: Unplug and Unwind at M
Do you panic if you leave your phone(s) at home when running a quick errand? Are you always checking emails and text messages no matter where you are or who you're with? Chances are a digital detox is in order. Weaning ourselves off our favorite mobile devices is much harder than it sounds - even if only for a short period of time.
These devices are called "smart phones" for a reason and make many of our daily tasks a breeze with electronic assistance. But, with the need to respond to messages and check websites 24/7, stress levels and productivity are naturally affected. It's important to allow yourself to switch off and enjoy the company of who you're with in the present moment and we're here to help!
Here are a few tips to prepare yourself for a detox, before you leave for vacation:
- Push work deadlines back and arrange an extension if you're worried.
- Addicted to social media? Schedule tweets and other updates while you're gone using HootSuite or other programs that allow you to do so.
- Set your TiVo to record shows so you won't worry about missing any of your favorites.
- Depending on the length of your trip, ask someone back home to write you a letter (yes, the old fashion kind with pen and paper). You can open it halfway through your detox to keep you going.
- Write a plan for your first day back to ease yourself into the world of communication once again. Make sure no meetings are scheduled which will allow time for jet leg and catching up.
- Most importantly, let people know you won't be able to be reached instead of saying, "I'll be replying to urgent messages only."
During your next getaway at M (or anywhere) de-tech yourself by shutting off your mobile phones, tablets and other gadgets once you arrive. If you're really feeling daring, leave them all at home! This will allow you to fully enjoy your technology-free break.
If a shorter digital detox is order, book yourself a spa day at Spa Mio. The use of mobile phones isn't permitted in the confines of our relaxing four-star rated spa. Switching off your device, even if only for a matter of hours, will help you leave more relaxed and refreshed (trust us!).

Election Day is upon Liberal as voters will be heading to the polls on Tuesday to decide the fate of the capital outlay for the 2009-10 school term. The ballot that voters will vote with will be a 'yes' or 'no' question.
A 'yes' vote allows USD 480 to levy up to 8 mills over five years if they so choose. This year's budget is set for 4 mills for the 2009-10 school term. If the special election passes the 2009-10 budget can't be changed.
A 'no' vote would mean no capital outlay for 2009-10, which means 0 mills.
If the special election fails the Board of Education will have the option to set a new capital outlay resolution next year.
The Board of Education voted to have a special election after local citizen Steve Helm started a petition that asked for a special election that finished with enough signatures to freeze the capital outlay.
Voting will be taking place at the Activity Center from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Rehab Testimonials
Max B.
"Prominence is truly an amazing place full of compassion, understanding and love! I feel so blessed that I was able to get the help I desperately needed in such a wonderful environment. The staff here really walks their walk and cares about their patients on an individual basis. From the maids and nurses to the therapists and program director, I couldn't have asked for more love and understanding. There truly is a "method to the madness" here and I am forever grateful to have had such an amazing experience. Thank you to everyone who made this so special for me. I'll never forget you. God bless this place and its people."
Prominence exceeded my expectations!
"My visit to Prominence exceeded my expectations! The staff was enthusiastic, educated, and kind, I feel they were always ready to do whatever it took to make my stay complete. The education material was presented in an easy to understand format. The tools that I learned will have lifetime benefits in dealing with my addiction."
Thank you, Prominence!
"My life had fallen to pieces. I lost my family, girlfriend, house and job. Prominence not only helped me gain power over my addiction, but I also grew as a human. I am a better person now than I was before I even had this addiction. Thank you, Prominence!"
"Although it may sound cliché, Prominence truly changed my life. Not only are the Manor and Residential houses absolutely gorgeous, but they are extremely comfortable and homey. I learned SO much while I was here, from the groups, to the one-on-one therapy, to even sitting in the kitchen talking to the chefs.
It also made me feel much more comfortable that most of the people that work at Prominence, are actually recovering alcoholics/addicts as well. It was very easy to be open and honest with everyone and not feel as if you are being judged.
The counselors, group facilitators, the technicians, and even the housekeeper are all amazing, They are ALWAYS there for you to talk to and all helped me though many of my issues. I flew across the ENTIRE country to come to Prominence, because it really is THAT great.
The non 12-step program makes sobriety much easier to comprehend and accept. I am so ridiculously happy that I came to Prominence, and although I am excited to start my new journey in life, I am so sad to leave this place that has become my home, and to leave these people that truly became my family. Thank you so much everyone at Prominence for EVERYTHING! I LOVE YOU!"
I would highly recommend this program
"I had the pleasure of spending a month at Prominence. I'm a psychotherapist who has been severely addicted to alcohol for four years. I've been to two other inpatient rehabs and was very skeptical in attempting a third. I was very impressed with all aspects of Prominence.
The program's focus is on identifying strengths, psychoeducation, and promoting positive habits and thinking. The staff is thoughtful but challenging, qualified, respectful and caring. I appreciated being treated as an intelligent adult who has the ability to change my own destructive behaviors.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about recovery."
Annie Z
"Prominence Treatment Center provides a safe, friendly and comfortable environment within which I began my recovery. It is through the compassion and courage of the staff and the unique, personalized therapeutic approach that I have *finally *gained the confidence to progress from initial recovery to a successful program of maintaining an authentic sober life-style.
Yes, Prominence offers a genuine advancement in addiction treatment with a core assessment that has enabled and equipped me to repossess my sobriety. But, most significantly, it is here that I have developed a true and honest self-esteem that I have singularly never before acquired. It is here that I have relocated my life.
The work at Prominence goes past managing my addiction: this is what has made the difference and this is what will continue to carry me forward. And though they constantly remind me that it is I who have done this work, I gratefully thank Arielle, Evelyn, Matthew and Lisa for theirs."
Gary M wrote on October 30, 2011
"This morning I woke up with a tremendous amount of energy and looking forward to working. This has been going on for about five months. It has been so long prior to that time that I can remember awakening was such a
zest and love of life that I can't remember when I felt that way.
I have lost 25 pounds and look 10 years younger.How did this magically occur? After many years of excessive drinking I checked into prominence treatment center. I was extremely skeptical because I had been drinking excessively for over 30 years.
It was a wonderful experience. The staff was fabulous, the therapists gave me mind blowing analysis of my drinking habits, why I drank and how I could stop and did so in a kind loving way without making me feel like being a failure for 30 years of excessive drinking.
Will it work? I believe so and it has been almost 6 months since I stopped drinking and the advice, education and help given to me reverberates in my mind on a daily basis.
If you are sick and tired of drinking and/or drugging yourself on the way to an unpleasant death prominence is the place to go.
Is it expensive? Yes-it certainly is. . But cheap compared to a funeral and the aftermath of the premature and horrible death! I rest my case!"
Daniel F. wrote on November 20, 2011
"It sounds odd to recommend an in-patient addiction rehabilitation center to others, it's not something one ever really wants to do, but I would sincerely urge anyone struggling with a substance abuse problem to please consider the Prominence Treatment Center. The facility and staff are unique and beyond parallel in my experience."
In my experience of over 20+ inpatient stays at detox and rehabs, I have found nothing has come close to the education and tools I learned there. I would even recommend the Prominence Treatment Center to someone with or without an alcohol, drug, emotional, psychological disorder to this this facility, just because the experience is so fundamental in the development of personal understanding , but I would want those who need to get help get the first bed.
"There are a multitude of factors that make this facility so special, but the first one that comes to mind is the staff. The staff consists if of the finest quality experts and executives of anyone in their field I have seen. Everyone treats you the same regardless of their role or responsibility". Roles do not matter, the main focus is just getting the client in better shape from the moment they walk in the door.
I can't say enough about the staff they are all so caring — I can't pick favorites; I can only list the ones who truly impacted me and compelled me to write this letter of the utmost appreciation. Gabe (the go-to person for admissions and almost everything else), Arielle (my own primary personal and outstanding counselor), Matt (who leads the most thought provocative and insightful groups on addiction counseling), Dr. Evelyn Kagan (who will truly find out how and why you want to get better).
The staff also consist of consist of an expert Psychiatric and Medical team consisting of Dr. Sager and Dr. Podell are excellent and through. They treat each patient individual and are always available for consultation.
While at the Prominence Treatment Center I was always offered the unexpected but phenomenal amenities provided by the executive chef Kyle, the trainer Rufus, and the relaxing massages of Andrea.
The on-sight staff at the house consisting of Cadie, Shari, Meagan, Johnny, John, and several others were available for every need that came up.
There were of fond memories of my experience at Prominence, but among the best was the exclusivity of receiving such high quality care in such a small environment. At a place that has six or less clients at a time you are guaranteed to receive the individualized attention to make a very large difference.
I plan on keeping in touch with the staff, because they really do care.

Prominence was my 3rd trip to Rehab but my first non-12 step program. My main goal was to leave with a different mind set to resolve my problems so the therapy was what I was primarily there for. There were a lot excellent things about the Prominence program. The therapists were excellent and the staff seemed to have an ability to match the right therapist with each client. You receive great one on one therapy as well as group and alternative therapies.
Surprising to me, the music therapy was one that I found provided insight into myself(while also being a fun activity at night). The rest of the program I found excellent as well and helped to keep you focused and prepared for the hard work of the program. The accommodations were great with beautiful surroundings, excellent food prepared by your own chef, weekly massage and pool, hot tub, exercise room and sauna.
All contributed to helping me through the process of treatment and feel good about yourself. Although there are a lot of good things, the first thing that comes to mind about Prominence for me is the people. From the house manager, Johnny, to the tech's, the chefs and therapists and doctors, they have put together a staff of caring, compassionate people who make you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you arrive till you leave.
All the other things would not mean as much without the excellent staff they have put together at Prominence. Going to treatment is never easy and often a difficult decision to make. The staff at Prominence makes you happy you did. I highly recommend the program. Eric J
Oh did I mention the food! Excellent gourmet, healthy cuisine from a personal chef, you can even make requests. Don't get me wrong Rehab is no cakewalk, therapy can be tough, tears can be shed. But if you have to do it. I highly recommend Prominence Center."

"I had been to treatment centers my whole life. I started to think I was one of the ones who could not get this. Now I get it! Thank you so much for saving my life."

"California dreaming. Rehab is a lot of hard work, self searching, behavior changes, learning about yourself and how you relate to others. Taking responsibility for your actions and apologizing for Bad Behaviors. For me doing it in a beautiful tranquil setting by the ocean was perfect. Small classes, beautiful house, family atmosphere. Maximum of 6 clients. Private room, okay to have your computer and cell phone. Several different therapists and counselors on staff. Everyone supportive.
You heal mind, body and spirit. You can't change the past, only live in the present and plan for the future. The massages were just what the Doctor ordered after a week of intensive classes and therapy. I will remain in touch with the people I met at Prominence. I would not have lasted a week in a "traditional" setting. Stark sterile rooms, shared. Everything locked up, including you. No contact with the real world. I would have been drinking in 4 days.
Oh did I mention the food! Excellent gourmet, healthy cuisine from a personal chef, you can even make requests. Don't get me wrong Rehab is no cakewalk, therapy can be tough, tears can be shed. But if you have to do it. I highly recommend Prominence Center."

"I came to Prominence after two failed attempts to stop drinking at very well-known and respected 12-step treatment facilities. At Prominence I finally realized that the key to my recovery was not simply to not pick up another drink for the rest of my life (a daunting thought to me at the time), but to start living. Really living. Through the individual therapy and many things I referred to as voodoo (boy was I wrong), I have found my true self.
Even better still, I have learned to trust and love what I have found. What I have discovered here about myself, along with the tools and insights I have been given by everyone right down to the house chef, has given me an excitement and hunger for life I have never experienced.
I left Hazelden with the daunting task to never drink again; I leave Prominence with the amazing gift to go out and live my best life. I will be forever grateful."

"I went through a long period of my life scared, confused, there was no light at the end of the tunnel.
Then I found Prominence. All of the staff are truly the most heartfelt people I have ever met. I feel so much gratitude for everyone helping me to become a butterfly who has the wings for a new hopeful life! Dr. Brandi saved my life."
– Marie H.

In recognition of the Sunday News commendable article "Drug tests in schools pass/fail?", we are reprinting the below text from a public service advertisement by Common Sense for Drug Policy (CSDP.org) that appeared in a half dozen magazines of political opinion a couple of years ago:
- Since marijuana remains detectable for as long as a month (while alcohol, heroin and cocaine are detectable for only a day or two), testing will encourage students and workers to switch to more dangerous drugs. Can you imagine anything dumber?
- The most effective method of preventing adolescent drug use is keeping youths active and learning after school when many parents are working and kids are not supervised. Why would we want to put up barriers to kids participating in after-school activities?
- The most effective schools put in place a student assistance program that allows youngsters to anonymously seek or be referred to counseling if they show signs of problems. Shouldn't students perceive school administrators as their mentors rather than an extension of the police?
- Based on the 9% of schools that have some form of drug testing, the National Research Council reports: "There is no scientific evidence regarding the effects of these programs, either on drug use or on the learning environment."
- One school system rejected testing when it found it would cost $8 million annually to test the 75,000 athletes at its 171 high schools. That's $46,000 per high school . . . $106 per student tested.

A Missouri man is held in custody after allegedly stabbing someone to death and throwing their severed limbs at witnesses.
18:34, UK, Tuesday 08 January 2013
A Missouri man allegedly killed and dismembered an unidentified person before hurling the victim's severed arms as police arrived at the scene.
Paul Potter, 49, of Kirksville, has been charged with second degree murder, tampering with a motor vehicle and arson after the gruesome discovery.
Police officers responded to a report of a car fire at around 11pm on Sunday.
Once there, they received further reports that two nearby properties were also ablaze.
When they arrived at the scene they saw Potter throwing two objects at witnesses nearby.
The objects were later determined to be human arms.
Police discovered a dismembered body in one of the properties.
The victim - who has not been identified - had also suffered multiple stab wounds.
Potter is being held in Adair County Jail on a $1m bond.

ZF-2464: Add return values to Zend_Controller_Router_* for method chaining
The current implementation of Zend_Controller_Router objects does not specify a return value for many of the single-use methods, ie:
public function addRoutes($routes) {
foreach ($routes as $name => $route) {
$this->addRoute($name, $route);
For the sake of method chaining, these functions should return the object ( return $this; ), permitting calls like the following:
->addRoute('newRoute', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':module/:controller/:action'))
->addRoute('newRoute', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':controller/:action'))
This currently throws a fatal error: Call to method "addRoute()" on a non-object.
RewrteRouter already allows method chaining:
Not to nit-pick, but addDefaultRoutes() still doesn't...
David, do you actually use this method? It's an internal method which generally should be protected.
Actually, no... My overridden version of the class did to imitate the functionality of the parent, but no worries. Is this fixed in a release version?
