Gym: Day Four
Hey Guys,
Tonight we went to the instructor's house which was near a soccer field.
We have to wait a little while to get back into our gym, due to construction going on inside. I found a brand-new gym haha...
Right as basic as you can get: An old roller-rink they've got a bar with 4 drink coolers.
Giant open wood floor.
The plan is to put in 30x30 mats in for rolling, a full boxing ring, a half-cage, and 12 or 24 bags and mirrors around the walls.
So tonight was another conditioning program for our two upcoming fights this next saturday.
We did two 3 or 4 hundred yard sprints to warm-up then grabbed some car tires and walked to the soccer field.
We worked on circuits tonight of 3-minute rounds again:
You and the partner hold onto a car tire and take one foot backwards and power your hip to that side and haul the partner to that side.
That was some wicked work, I could barely get through the 2nd running of it...at one point I slammed the tire into my gut and could barely breath for a bit.
Next we stood on opposite sides of the soccer goals, outside of the goalie's box and did tire throws over your head. The goal was to throw the tire over the top of the goal to the partner.
On this workout I really screwed myself over...I don't know how I was doing it but I was lifting with the back.
For a good portion of that drill I was in discomfort.
After finishing that drill I was set on doing jumps to a bench and down and so-on. The back gave me a hell of a time with this, if I wasn't messed up I would've gained a lot more from it.
The final part of the conditioning was side-stepping going to the end of the field and back with the car tire held over our heads on our palms.
while we waited for our team-mate to finish his drill of sledgehammer flys I and the other 2 guys did some jogging on the field.
We walked back to the instructor's house and got a cup of iced water, then headed to a bike path where we jogged at a quick pace for 100-300 yards each way.
At the end I destroyed the guys the 2nd guy was about 20-40 feet behind me, I ended up reverting to my cross-country days for the final 2-4 hundred yards you would go into a dead sprint.
This was the conclusion of the conditioning program for the night. Even saying this doesn't end the night haha.
I have one more reason why I really enjoy the gym, the instructor's wife prepared a meal for us tonight. She had pan sauteed some chicken breast, sliced up some bell peppers, had some tomatoes, a salad and some baked potato.
I didn't take a whole lot just a breast, some peppers and tomato.
I feel that when my instructor says he runs a family oriented gym he is damn serious. If he's willing to let his fighters come and have dinner with him that is a good man.
It was great while we waited for the meal we had random discussions, one of our guys was telling us "how he had gone to walmart for a video game in the morning, and the clerk wishes him a happy st. Patrick's day...the kid asks the lady what the hell is st. Patrick's day???"
We discussed gaming, and one of the vets was asking the same kid about how he was feeling about his upcoming fight this coming Saturday. Johnny will have his debut fight, which I hope to see.
He was saying that he really hasn't thought a whole lot about the fight so far. He was saying that he loves the conditioning programs with the un-orthodox method that our instructor uses. It in all honesty isn't unusual for the mma world...but for me it is haha.
For a while I had to stretch out my back, and I was watching two of the guys doing the side-step drill. I noticed johnny being a bit sluggish, so I started to yell at the kid to keep his crap together.
I definitely got some good remarks from the instructor. The guys in the gym are quickly becoming some good friends of mine.
I will try to get myself out to the instructor's house Saturday morning for another conditioning program. I would like to say one way or another I'll be there, I am unsure if I am going to do the tire work yet. I have to see how my back is first.
I can hardly afford to screw it up any more than it is now..
Throughout life there are bumps along the way some may be painful...others not...who gives a damn in the end you'll still die

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

The clip Confronting David from Shaun of the Dead (2004) with Simon Pegg, Dylan Moran What are you doing? We have to deal with her. Daffs! For Christ's sake! She's gonna come back! She's not going anywhere. She'll change. She's my mum! She's a zombie. Don't say that. Move aside. I'm gonna count to three. One... two... three! Don't point that gun at my mum! Calm down. Don't point that gun at Barbara! Ed, don't exacerbate things! What's that mean? This isn't exactly fair. Here. Thank you. It's OK. Please, can we just stop and think about this? Tell him to put the gun down! She's gonna change. You know I'm right. And when she does, she'll kill all of us. That's what your ex can't seem to realise. That's what this is about, isn't it? He doesn't like me! He's always hated me and now he wants to shoot my mum. She's not... You've never thought I was good enough. What? We all know you're in love with Liz. That is not true. Yes it is! That is not true. Yes it is. What? I know you only hung out with me to get close to Liz and when she knocked you back, I was there to pick up the pieces. I've come to terms with that, Daffs, why can't you? Lizzie, I want you to know that my feelings for you... David! There are slightly more pressing matters at hand here. Like "Daffs" pointing a gun at my mum. I'm not being unreasonable, "Pickle". Christ, she's not dead! She's finished. For a hero, you're quite a hypocrite. You've gone from a chartered accountant to Charlton Heston. I'm not a chartered accountant. Well, you look like one. Yeah. I'm a lecturer. You're a twat. She's not your mum. In a minute she'll be just another zombie. Don't say that. We're not using the Z word. Please can we just calm the fuck down! Now, I can see what David is trying to say...

Ariz. deputies seize fighting dogs
TUCSON, Ariz. — Sheriff's deputies arrested a half-dozen people and seized about 150 dogs Tuesday in capping a yearlong investigation into a major breeding operation for dog fighting.
Nearly all the animals seized were pit bulls, an official with the Humane Society of Southern Arizona said.
Among those arrested was Mahlon Patrick, 63, whom investigators identified as one of the top dog fighting breeders in the country.
''We have dismantled a group of people at the upper echelon of dog fighting. This man has been involved for decades,'' said John Goodwin, a national Humane Society official, at a news conference.
It was not known whether Patrick had retained an attorney.
Most of the dogs were seized from a home in rural northwest Tucson, authorities said. About two dozen were removed from a mobile home property west of the Tucson Mountains.
Leads in the case were developed after Chicago police stopped a vehicle with several fighting dogs last March, and information eventually led to Tucson. Humane Society officials also provided information concerning the possibility of a dog fighting ring near Tucson.
About 10 of the dogs required medical attention. Authorities seized more than 50 weapons and training materials, as well as a device used to hold female dogs in place for breeding.

The Santa Rosa National Park is the sight of Costa Rica's most important monument, the Hacienda Santa Rosa. Known locally as La Casona (meaning "large house" in Spanish), this monument marks the fall of filibuster William Walker and his professional mercenaries to a local peasant army in 1856. Today, La Casona is a museum dedicated to the memory of this battle. This tour will allow you to stop by and explore this historical sight.
While inside the park, you'll also be given the chance to walk through a dry forest that contains some 2% of the world's biodiversity. Along the trails, search for monkeys, birds, sloths and more.
Following the hike, the tour will make its way to the city of Liberia. Here, you can walk around the city center and enjoy glimpses of what was once called the "White City." Liberia enjoyed this title because of its white adobe houses, white dirt roads, and locals who were known for wearing white to counteract the effects of the region's extreme heat. While in Liberia, you'll enjoy a tour of historic places and have the opportunity to buy souvenirs.
Running/hiking shoes, camera, spending money, and sunhat.
Water, entrance fee, and lunch in Liberia.
Jutting westward into the Pacific, Santa Rosa National Park (Parque Nacional Santa Rosa) engulfs much of the Santa Elena Peninsula located in northwestern Guanacaste. Founded in 1971, Santa Rosa was the first park established in all of Costa Rica. An abundance of flora and fauna reside in the park's immense forests that give way to virgin white-sand beaches. Santa Rosa is uniquely orientated to campers, offering a number of campgrounds for visitors who wish to spend the night.

Lesson learned: Teachers use Twitter too
- From: news.com.au
- March 07, 2013
NOTE to students: Teachers can use Twitter too.
This teacher got his own back at a student whingeing about a test on Twitter, by putting the tweet on display in class.
The student tweeted: "I hate you Mr Torrence. You said the test was in (sic) Wednesday, so give it to us on Wednesday, not Tuesday. #YouNeedACalendar #ScrewYou".
Another student posted the response on Reddit under the user name XCoaster.
To make matters worse for the tweeting tantrum-thrower, XCoaster said that he was the one who got the day of the test wrong.
"The test was always on Tuesday. The kid who tweeted about this, thought it was on Wednesday, only to find it was on Tuesday, when it was on Tuesday all along," XCoaster said.

I think the teacher should have had more sense then to publicly humiliate the kid in front of his peers. Teenagers do impulsive, dumb things..adults teach them how to react in a dignified manor. Handled poorly imo.

Now I know I am not the only one who is seriously passionate about the game industry here. Most do not get how we can be so involved with "video games" but who the hell cares, I love it! However, it is hard to find individuals that are as passionate as I am about the game industry, stays up late wanting to talk about it and drink a glass or 3 (as I'm doing now) So I write this to reach out to those who are up late, reading articles of the day wanting to discuss them but can't even find people who know what are "Goombas." Hell, maybe you just like to drink like I do, stay up, game and/or discuss stuff and just have nice conversations! So, let us comminicate, colaborate, and just have a good time. Now excuse me, it seems I have finished my glass, looks like its trivia time.
My dear friends of 1up, join me!

Writer-director Richard Ayoade has the knack. A fresh and inventive cinematic voice, he's taken a subject that's been beaten half to death and brought it miraculously to life in his smart and funny debut feature, Submarine.
The excruciating and the hilarious mingle nearly to perfection in this marvelously visualized and deeply felt British film.
It cheats a little, using a mix of amateurish extreme close-ups and striking Welsh industrial vistas to substitute for real technical proficiency, but also applies more formal consideration than most films, namely teen-centered comedies, ever do.
The film's humor comes in part from the gap between what Oliver says and what the audience sees.
An auspicious, controlled and altogether droll debut film that resembles Wes Anderson's "Rushmore" without being derived from it.
The movie knocks itself unconscious trying to be offbeat, but instead of cinematic heart, the director self-indulges in cinematic art, drowning the whole thing in freeze frames, slow-motion and color-coding, owing everything he knows to the worst of Jean-Luc Godard and Wes Anderson.

The film is far more thanIt's been quite some time since quirky, deadpan comedy has been done so well. It's clever, funny and very British. The film is far more than the conventional take on being a social outcast. Craig Roberts imbues Oliver with a fierce intelligence and a unique take on the world. His self-aware and often comically profound voiceover recalls Audrey Tautou in Amelie. Every character in the film is interesting, and every actor's performance memorable, from the tragic figure of Oliver's seemingly boring dad (Noah Taylor), to his prim mother looking for more excitement in her life (Sally Hawkins) to Oliver's emotionally introverted love interest Jordana (Yasmin Paige) and humongous tool of a life guru Graham (Paddy Considine). Submarine has a lot to say about life, covering every subject from love to divorce and depression, but always discussing these subjects in a profound and comic way. Alex Turner's specially composed songs for the film's soundtrack also comfortably marry with Submarine's indy credentials. The film may drag a little in the final act, but Submarine is undeniably an extremely impressive feature debut from Richard Ayoade, and I eagerly await his next outing as a director.… Expand
Aug 10, 2011This review contains spoilers. You can't see the submarine in the fish tank that looms in the background of the Tate dining room, but it's there, a submarine transported to the eighties from 1963, straight out of a cornflakes box that a Yorkshire mother bought for her childish adult son. It belonged to Billy Fischer, also known as "Billy Liar", but now it's fifteen-year-old Oliver Tate(Craig Roberts) who must shoulder the burden of navigating the aquatic vessel through the adolescent waters bubbling under at home and school. The secondhand sub comes saddled with the baggage of a less-than-stellar history. Its new owner offers only a slight improvement over the submarine's predecessor. Both pilots, antiheroes to one degree or other, display a tendency to crack under heavy duress, creating an occasion for simulated violence, but whereas Billy imagines gunning down his loved ones in cold blood, Oliver's malevolence is more of the self-inflicted variety. While not an outright fibber like Billy, a would-be scriptwriter for a famous comedian, Oliver, at the very least, is a flagrant hypocrite. Jordana, described by the protagonist as a "moderately unpopular girl", bullies the even-less popular Zoe, who finds herself ostracized from her peers for being fat. Uncharacteristic of the underdog archetype, Oliver participates in the hectoring, because being a lout, he sees, brings him closer to his dream girl. When Zoe falls into the pond, it's as if she was assassinated, since the girl is no stranger to Oliver. She once played a prominent role in his short life, being on the receiving end of his first kiss, which puts her "murder" on par with the known people that Billy opens fire on with a hail of imaginary bullets, discharged from a gun manifested as rage. Oliver, an unaware dissembler, loans out "The Catcher in the Rye" for Jordana to read, even though he has become the sort of phony that Holden Caulfield rails against in the Salinger novel. Clearly, Oliver still sees himself as a victim, a hero of the underclass. On their first date, he takes Jordana to a matinee showing of "The Passion of Joan of Arc"(like Alvy taking Annie Hall to "The Sorrow and the Pity"), the 1928 silent classic about the purported French heretic who was burned at the stake by English decree. But what side is he on? Good or evil? In the Schlesinger film, the kingdom which Billy rules in his head, Ambrosia, etymologically speaking, is of Greek/Roman origin, suggesting the possibility that he models himself after Mussolini(the Italian dictator who killed innocent people for real), and not some benign prime minister. Like Billy, the young Scot, as aforementioned, leads a rich fantasy life, imagining his own celebrated demise, casting himself as a martyr of Wales, the Butler of Swansea, akin to Joan. In one scene, Jordana, a budding pyromaniac, burns the skin on Oliver's leg, but the boy lacks the fealty of a saint, as evidenced by his willingness to make a sacrifice out of Zoe for personal gain. It's Oliver who does the "burning", even Jordana, when in her time of need, he stays away from the hospital, where the girl's mother may be dying of cancer. Both Billy and Oliver use family obligations as an excuse for disappointing their women. In "Billy Liar", the titular character gets off the train to London, he thinks, to console his parents, grieving over the death of the family matriarch, but the truth of the matter is that the borderline sociopath(the grandma is one of his imagined victims) would rather live in Ambrosia's dreamscapes than the real world with Liz. Oliver, possessing some of the same issues as Billy, relies on the perceived eventuality of a parental divorce as the basis for his no-show, putting dad's depression before Jordana's crisis, when in reality it's cowardice, the pressure of living in a submarine, perhaps the very same one that Billy needs for his Ambrosian navy, which keeps the potentially homicidal boy(he had plans on poisoning her dog) away. But when it comes to growing up, the girls have it harder. In a fish tank, it's not the submarine you notice; it's the fish. At the outset of Andrea Arnold's "Fish Tank", Mia, a 15-year-old everyteen trying to survive in the Essex Council Estate, may or may not be subjected to the male gaze of her mother's new beau. Passed out in their bed, Connor carries Mia to the room she shares with her younger sister, and for good measure, strips the girl down to her underwear. This act, vague in its intent, turns out to be replete with sexual intentions, after all, when Connor seduces the child on a living room couch, later on. The filmmaker not only indicts the statutory rapist as amoral, but the moviegoer, too. In the opening scene, we meet Mia, an aspiring dancer, performing in a room where the window is shaped like a fish tank. How are we looking at her: as a dancer or as a sex object? When she auditions as a stripper at a club, the answer becomes obvious.… Collapse

Steve Buscemi
If you haven't seen a Steve Buscemi movie yet, it means one thing: You just don't watch movies. The gaunt, bulgy-eyed character-actor-turned-leading-man has appeared in over 80 films over his career, among them classics like Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs. But despite several handfuls of unforgettable performances -- which if you haven't seen, we shouldn't be friends with you -- Buscemi is just getting started. After just one season, his performance as Atlantic City kingpin Enoch "Nucky" Thompson in HBO's smash hit Boardwalk Empire has already earned him an Emmy for best actor in a drama. With Season 2 just around the corner, Buscemi is set to turn Nucky into one of the most iconic characters on television, while making us ask the question: Tony who?

The Office of Student Enrollment welcomes all rising eighth grade students and first-time ninth graders applying to high school for the 2017-2018 school year!
Get ready to apply to high school this fall by taking these next steps:
Visit Specialized High Schools to learn how to participate in that admissions process and the new diversity initiatives.
If you just moved to New York City and are not yet enrolled at a school for the 2016-2017 school year, learn how to enroll on the New Students page.
New York City has more than 400 high schools and over 700 programs. Eighth grade or first-time ninth grade students and families who live in New York City complete a single High School Application for up to 12 high school programs and can participate in a separate process for Specialized High Schools.
Students with disabilities may apply to any high school program in High School Admissions and follow the same steps outlined in the NYC High School Directory and Specialized High School Students Handbook as their nondisabled peers. Students with disabilities who are recommended for and have attended a District 75 program and are considering a high school outside of District 75 should work with their IEP team to determine whether the recommendation for District 75 for high school is still appropriate.
Use the resources below to learn about your program options and understand the admissions process:
High school resources are also available in translation:
العربية | বাংলা | 中文 | Français | Kreyòl Ayisyen | 한국어 | Русский | Español | اردو
When looking for schools and programs, it is important to think about what will help you learn and grow—your interests, learning needs, and how you'd get to and from the school. Talk with your family, guidance counselor, and teachers about your application choices.
2017 New York City High School Directory: The High School Directory helps you understand the admissions process and learn more about high school programs in each borough. You can pick up a copy from your middle school, at a High School Admissions event, or Family Welcome Center.
School Search: Find high schools based on interest area, borough, school size, and more.
Admissions Events: Attend a High School Family Workshop in July, and the Citywide and Borough High School Fairs in the fall, to learn how to find programs that fit your needs, hear tips on developing your High School Application, and get to know more about the Specialized High Schools admissions process.
Information Sessions: View the calendar of high schools' information session dates and plan to visit schools of interest.
2016-2017 Specialized High Schools Student Handbook: You may also be interested in applying to one of the nine Specialized High Schools—learn about those programs and their admissions process.
Applications for Round 1 of High School Admissions are due to guidance counselors on December 1, 2016. Your goal is to receive an offer to one of your preferred programs in Round 1. Students who do not receive an offer in Round 1 can apply to programs with availability in Round 2 in March 2017.
Take these steps as you develop a list of programs:
Download the HS Admissions Timeline.
Yes, if you want to attend a NYCDOE public high school. This includes students who want to attend their zoned school and students in a grades 6-12 school who want to remain at that school for ninth grade.
Every eighth grade student in a public school receives a High School Application from their guidance counselor in the fall. New York City residents who currently attend a private or parochial school can request an Application from their guidance counselor or a Family Welcome Center.
Each high school has scheduled open houses or information session events when you can visit the school. To learn when these events take place, you can check the school's information page in the High School Directory, contact the school directly, or visit our information session calendar.
Additionally, there is a Citywide High School Fair in September and high school fairs in each borough in October. At these events, you may talk with students and educators from high schools to learn more.
Your application will include:
There can be multiple programs offered by one school. Programs often focus on specific interest area. Programs at the same school may have different Admissions Priorities and Admissions Methods. You may decide to apply to one program over another based on its admissions and its interest area.
Programs accept applicants from the first admissions priority group before accepting applicants from the next admissions priority group. The effect admissions priorities will have on you depends on the school's demand, and the program's admissions method used. Admissions priorities can greatly affect applications, so it is important to keep track of the priorities for the programs to which you're applying.
You may apply to a school your sibling attends, but there is no guarantee that you will get an offer to that school.
No. Students with disabilities may apply to the same programs listed in the High School Directory as students without disabilities. Your IEP or 504 Plan testing accommodations are provided during the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test or any school-based admissions audition or assessment. If you are a student in a District 75 program considering a community high school, you should work with your District 75 school to participate in High School Admissions. Please read A Guide for Families of Students with Disabilities to learn more.
No, English Language Learner students receive supports in all New York City high schools. All eighth grade students may participate in high school admissions no matter their knowledge of English. If you are interested in a program designed for students who are English Language Learners, you may consider programs that use a Screened: Language admissions method. The New York City High School Directory indicates which of the ELL program models (Dual Language, Transitional Bilingual Education, or English as a New Language) are currently offered in each high school. Families can learn more about these programs here.
Zoned programs give either priority or a guaranteed offer to students who apply and live in the geographic zoned area of that high school. Not every student has a school with a zoned program. Find out if you have a zoned school by checking the front of your High School Application, or type your address into School Search. You may place your zoned school's program code anywhere on your application list and still have priority.
Screened schools evaluate applicants based on one or more of the following: course grades, NY State ELA and math test proficiency ratings, attendance and punctuality, writing samples, interviews, group activities, diagnostic tests, academic portfolios, or online activities. The requirements to apply to screened programs are listed under each program's "Selection Criteria" in the New York City High School Directory.
Many schools and programs that focus on different areas of the performing arts, including visual arts, drama, music, and dance. Many performing arts schools require that students audition or share a portfolio as part of their application; some programs do not require an audition. Learn more about these programs in the New York City High School Directory.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and schools combine rigorous academic study with applied skills in a career context. See a comprehensive list of CTE programs or ask schools directly whether they offer any CTE programs.
You may request a transfer if you are experiencing a documented hardship. A documented hardship includes if your travel to school is more than 75 minutes, or if you have a documented medical or safety issue. Please discuss with your current guidance counselor to find out whether you have a documented hardship and can request to transfer schools.
No. Only current New York City residents can participate in High School Admissions. You cannot apply or take the SHSAT until after you have established residency in New York City. Learn more about the admissions process for students new to New York City.

September 2005: From the Editor - Wireless on Your Own Terms
I booted up my new Cingular wireless phone, and the default item on the main menu is "Media Mall". How nice—they want to sell me $1.99 "ring tones" enough to make that the number one item on the menu. And even though the phone is a much better computer than my first Linux box was, the selection of apps I can install, and networks I can connect to, is locked in by Cingular.
On the other hand, when I booted up my Linux box, I got LILILILILILILILI...oh wait, let me fix that. Much better. A standard Web browser, able to connect to anybody. Able to do business with anyone's store and connect through any ISP. No, I didn't get the computer "free" with my Internet connection, but free as in cell phones is no bargain when it means being locked out of fun stuff.
Phil Salkie has a great example of why on page 48. Can't listen to your favorite Internet radio show at the time it's on? Or want to capture it to listen somewhere you don't have Net access? Time-shift it! What Phil did to make things run extra smoothly is to turn Net radio shows into RSS feeds that work as podcasts. You can use any one of a growing assortment of clients to play them on your own schedule. Before the next road trip I have to take, I'm definitely setting up a podcast client on a laptop for the car, and I'll use Phil's script to snarf some radio shows to listen to.
Speaking of devices that let you listen on the road, Dovid Kopel tried out the Archos PMA400. If you're looking for a combined PDA and music player, check out this Linux-based unit on page 74. And save yourself some bandwidth and time snarfing all those podcasts with the thorough compression tools overview from Kingsley G. Morse Jr. on page 62.
Security-wise, today's wireless networks are where the Internet was in the 1980s, before the 1988 Morris Worm helped create the network security scene as we know it. We all know that people can do bad things with all those open access points, but the bad things aren't happening. Many of you could "borrow" a departing Starbucks customer's identity to get a free Net connection, but you're not. Thank you.
But it's only a matter of time before all our nice little access points start getting clobbered by spammers, phishers and new categories of naughty people we don't even have cool words for yet. So please read our two articles on wireless security technology—John L. MacMichael's on page 56 and Matthew Gast's on page 68. Combined with Mick Bauer's series from earlier this year, this issue will get you up to speed on how to make your wireless network run smoothly.
Finally, is "identity" just a directory server that has its own fancy conference? Instead of letting big companies decide among themselves what to do with your personal information, Doc Searls ventured into the lairs of some mighty scary beasts and came back with the beginning of a plan, from a strange source. See page 40 if you dare.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Drug and Alcohol counseling
Counseling plays a major role in patients who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. If you are addicted to any one of these, then counseling will be the first step to be offered to you in order to get rid of them. Be polite and do not try to hide anything from your drug and alcohol counselor and answer all the questions asked. The patient's truthfulness is very important for the counselor as they will be the one who will be devising the next plan of action for you. In the detoxification of drugs and alcohol you go with the advice of your counselor to decide whether you should go for an outpatient treatment or an inpatient.
If you will be an outpatient treatment, then you need to come to the counseling on a regular intervals, but on the other hand, if you are the one who will be attending day care treatment for the detoxification, then a counselor will be assigned to you who will be taking care of you on a regular basis. At the time you entered the detoxification center the assigned counselor will take a rigorous session with you to know you better, he will be asking you the questions about your past life, your strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, work etc. try to answer them honestly to them to reach a solution. Your further treatment will be based on your drug and alcohol counseling. The counselor will help you to unpack your belongings to ensure that you are not carrying something with you which you are not supposed, any kind of medication or even electronic device. If you are carrying with you it will be deposited with the center and will be returned back to you once you leave. The detoxification method is different for alcohol and drugs. The alcohol detoxification involves three medications depending upon an individual and they are acamprosate, naltrexon, and disulfiram. Acamprosate stabilize your brain chemicals which have been altered by the alcohol detoxification it will in turn lessen the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Naltrexone helps in controlling the cravings you have for alcohol. Disulfiram is usually given to the individuals who have finished their medication and have returned to their home. The medicine shows its effects when the individual consumes small amount of alcohol. For the drug detoxification there are drugs like methadone, buprenophrine and mryhodone. The medication helps you chemically and bend your body to withdraw the drug and Alcohol.
The drug and alcohol detoxification should be done strictly in the guidance of the professional who has dedicated at least 5 years of their career in the detoxification. The detoxification centers in their perusal can help you in getting rid of alcohol and drug completely. If you in between leave the medication then the whole detoxification process comes to a halt, as it will be very difficult for you to balance your craving and the pain you have until you get rid of alcohol and drugs from your life completely.

Going by the reviews this looked like the best day excursion to do whilst in Marrakesh and I and #39;m pleased to say the reviews were spot on. Mustafa was our driver and he was an entertaining guide. The highlights of the trip for me was a trek up to a waterfall and the meal at the Berber house.
Amazing tour guide Shakeeb was friendly and welcoming. Quite a trek up to the waterfall but well worth it. I would recommend good footwear with grip as it can get slippery on the rocks. The meal was delicious at the Berber house. Amazing experience highlight of my visit to Morocco!
The hike up the waterfalls was fantastic, as was the lunch in the Berber village. The scenery in general was beautiful plus the calmness and fresh air of the mountains was a nice change from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our guide Mustapha was a great guy, full of information and a good sense of humour. Would highly recommend this tour and this company.
Abdul the guide was fantastic, very honest, good English and held a great knowledge of Marrakesh and the Atlas Mountains. The tour itself was great, only part i found disappointing was the waterfall but that was mostly our fault for confusing it with the Ouzoud Falls. Minibus was clean and well kept with lots of photo opportunities as Abdul stopped regularly and took photos of the group. The stop for food was brilliant view and the food quality, Abdul also gave advice on how to deal with the annoying people who try to sell you rubbish on the mountain. Brilliant for the price and would definitely recommend. Bring a good camera and zoom lens and you will be able to get some fantastic shots of the lake and mountain
this is an original day trip ,where you can see the original morrocoan people and how they live in the mountains.Not a tourist trap,but the real thing!You should definitely take that day trip!
This was a fantastic tour, we really enjoyed it. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area and was very easy to understand. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
Great trip. Would recommend for anyone, knoweldgeable and experienced guides. Great food and amazing scenery.
My husband and thoroughly enjoyed this day trip. Abdul was an amazing guide and very knowledgable of the local area. Loved lunch at the Berger house lots of lovely memories
Thank you
Excellent day trip, lovely guide and the home-made food was incredible. Thank you so much!
absolutely breath taking, superb and fantastic!! Loved every second of our amazing trip! Our guide Abdul was extremely knowledgable, hospitable, very kind and funny and made us feel like part of family. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for that special non crowded true Morrocon experience
This tour was amazing! Definitely worth every penny!!! Just make sure you wear a good pair of hiking/tennis shoes as there is a little bit of climbing to get to the waterfall.
This tour was amazing. Abdul was our guide, and he was perfect. We could not have asked for anyone more knowledgeable or passionate about Moroccan culture. Abdul was also extremely kind. We first went to hike a waterfall, which was beautiful. We saw the countryside as well. The highlight of the trip was having lunch in a Berber village in a local's home. I cannot say enough good things about Abdul and how much we appreciated him. I have already recommended this tour and Abdul to friends who are thinking about visiting Marrakech.
Absolutely loved it! Fascinating to see the villages and mountain people. Felt like I and #39;d gone back in time hundreds of years. The people were friendly as well.
Our guide, Mustafa, was interesting, entertaining and really accommodating. He catered for our needs and interests. Really recommend it!!
Must see! Awesome tour, great views and wonderful lunch spot! So delicious.
This tour was a highlight of my whole 4 weeks in Spain and Morocco. Our guide spoke excellent English, and as he came from a Berber village himself, really gave us an unequaled insight into Berber culture and village life. The first valley was very pleasant, and the waterfall quite pleasant, but the climb up isn't easy. I stopped before the top as I am not a good climber. It was the trip over the mountains and into the second valley that was the real highpoint of the day, in particular lunch at a house in a Berber village. Virtually everything we ate was grown and prepared on the premises including the cous cous made out of locally grown wheat and hand prepared. I particularly enjoyed the small group experience. The High Atlas was spectacular and this tour is highly recommended. Note that the optional extra visit mentioned in the name of this tour was never actually offered.
This tour was amazing! We were picked up and dropped off to our hotel on time. Our tour guide Shakib was friendly, knowledgeable and made the trip really enjoyable. We got to see a lot in one day and the climb up Ourika valley was quite the challenge for those who are unfit or have short legs at least but well worth the climb. The views were amazing and lunch with a local Berber family was great. Lunch cost extra which was more than we normally pay but I was happy to pay extra knowing that it is supporting local people plus with the exchange rate actually it was a average priced decent lunch. Hospitality was great. Overall, a fantastic tour and well worth it!
Excellent. Our guide Abdul was so knowledgeable and friendly.
Lunch was amazing and in a stunning location.
We just loved the day.
Wear suitable footwear as the walk to the waterfall was steep and slippery. I suggest trainers or something with grip.
Excelent tour! Abdul our main tour guy was really great, a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. The valleys were stunning, we get a great taste of the old berber villages scenery and lifestyle. The Ourika waterfalls walk was quite an experience and that lunch meal was amazing
Our tour with Mostafa was first rate in all respects varied landscapes, coupled with excellent commentary and good humour made this the perfect day out. Informative and entertaining high spot the Berber village lunch - delicious. Excellent value.
We really enjoyed this trip. Ouricha valley and waterfalls are a bit touristy but nice to see. The other two valleys and Kik plateau are more quiet and authentic. The Atlas mountains are beautiful, amazingly green and the Berber people are very friendly. We enjoyed the lunch at at the house of a Berber family. Our guide Mostafa was very friendly and told us a lot about the Berber way of live. We can recommend it to anybody who wants to see something else than Marrakech. We did it with two children 9 and 11 who also enjoyed it and we didn't have any stomach problems after the lunch.
This was the highlight of my trip to Marrakesh. The valleys are very pretty and all very different from each other. It was also nice to experience the piece and quiet after the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh.
Also the lunch really was fantastic is was the best / most authentic food I had on my trip and there was so much of it it was so good I couldn't stop eating : . The view from the house is also breathtaking.
I highlight recommend this tour.
Amazing, perfect, and professional. My day in the Atlas Mountains was the highlight of my trip to Morocco. Prior to my day trip of the three valleys i was emailed by Sara to confirm my pick-up time and location, which I really appreciated. Our guide, Chakib, arrived right on time and took us to the three valleys where he provided us with plenty of facts and figures about each of the valleys we'd be visiting. Chakib was so kind to everyone, and always made sure we were comfortable and accommodated everyone on the tour really well he's also a great photographer, too!.
What I appreciated most was the thought that went into the design of our itinerary. We started the day a bit early, and it was worth it. By the time we had finished our hike to the waterfall we saw the hoards of tourists piling in to experience the beauty of the region, but because we had gone earlier in the day everything was quiet and just absolutely perfect, giving us what felt like a truly unique and personalised experience. Chakib informed us that other tour companies start later in the day, which means one's experience isn't as great.
The lunch with the Berber family was absolutely delicious, and the views as we ate were spectacular! I was hoping for more interaction with the family, who did their own thing while we ate maybe there was a language barrier?. We would've liked more of an in-depth explanation of how the tajine was prepared and more about their culture. Chakib did a good job of talking to us about their lifestyle, so that was good!
Overall, the Three Valleys Tour was perfect, and I wish I had booked more excursions! And I encourage everyone going to Morocco to book this tour for an escape from the hustle and bustle or Marrakech.
Perfect tour with 4 p. in good SUV. Very friendly, interested and good english speaking guide, sights are great. We recommend this tour !!
Dave and Johanna
For three women and one teenage girl, this tour was our favorite day on our Marrakech visit. It started a little shakily because I hadn't thoroughly read the voucher where I was supposed to set the pick up time and location 24 hours in advance but I was able to call the company and set things up the night before. My bad for not reading the small print but it also seems like Viator could make those terms more prominent and/or send a reminder email. Anyhoo, the person I spoke to on the phone couldn't have been nicer and we set up a pick up location.
Although they were a little late, they called to let me know and were super courteous. Abdul was our driver and guide. Not only was he excellent at both, he really impressed me as he is passionate about the community of people who live in the Atlas Mountains. He is from the Atlas Mountains and has family that lives there now.
Everyone enjoyed the hike to the waterfalls including me although I didn't go quite to the end- there was a place where I would have to jump over rushing water between two boulders and I'm a terrible jumper, so I opted not to go but the view was great even from there. You definitely need good footwear and not mind climbing some rocks. The Argan Oil collective was very interesting and the views became more spectacular as we climbed. We had lunch at a Berber family house on a terrace with a breathtaking view. The food was delicious and plentiful, well worth the extra cost. Everyone agreed that lunch was fantastic. After lunch we continued to climb and saw another valley, then started down. During the drive, Abdul gave us a window into life in these mountains and that was probably my favorite thing. If you get a chance to take this tour, do it!

Sunday afternoon was a festive occasion at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens. Sunday was Georgia's game to participate in the "Play 4Kay" program to promote breast cancer awareness, research, and support. The Lady Bulldogs were sporting pink uniforms, and the 'Dores wore pink t-shirts for warmups and pink shoes or shoelaces.
In addition, Sunday was also Girl Scout Day, and the troops of girls with pink shakers made their presence known throughout the game.
The pre-game headline in the Athens paper could just as well have been a post-game headline, as the Lady Bulldogs came out with energy and aggression. Jasmine Hassell scored the first basket of the game, and from that point on, the 'Dores played from behind.
All of Stephanie Holzer's 12 points came in the first half as she connected on six of eight field goal attempts.
Georgia's continually aggressive defense made life difficult for Vanderbilt, forcing 13 turnovers in the first half. In the first five minutes, the Lady Bulldogs built an 8-point lead at 10-2.
Vanderbilt fought back to close to cut the lead to four points but soon it was back up to eight points.
A basket by Kady Schrann cut the lead down to just three points at 28-25 with four minutes left in the first half, but Georgia finished the half on a 12-3 run to take a 12-point lead at 40-28 at halftime.
Elan Brown led Vanderbilt in rebounding with ten boards and was one point short of a double double with nine points.
Jasmine Lister dished out seven assists with just two turnovers as she played 40 minutes for the sixth consecutive game.
Early in the second half, the Lady Bulldogs increased their lead to as much as 18 points. Tiffany Clarke, who had scored just one point in the first half, scored ten points in the second half to help the 'Dores fight back.
Midway through the second half, Vanderbilt closed the lead to five points at 52-47, but as it turned out, that was as close as they would get.
Christina Foggie finished the game with 22 points, 15 of them coming in the second half.
In the first half Foggie was 1 for 3 from behind the arc, and in the second half 3 for 5, but it wasn't enough to close the gap, and in the end, Georgia prevailed 76-63.
After the game, while Head Coach Melanie Balcomb talked to Charlie Mattos in the post-game radio interview, Assistant Coach Vicky Picott talked with the post players that had played in the game.
After the game, Coach Balcomb gave Georgia credit for the victory. "I thought they were very prepared; they had all week to prepare for us, and they used that time wisely," she said.
"They were much more aggressive. They took things away from us, and they were really ready to execute against our defense this time. They started off more aggressive, out-worked us and then it was a fight back all the time, and every time we fought back with them and we made a run, they fought right back. I thought they were very well prepared today."
In regard to her own team, Coach Balcomb was most concerned about the mentality in a big road game.
"We weren't on the same page a lot. Our communication wasn't good to start the game and our mental toughness wasn't good, things that we were struggling with on the road before we won our last two games," she said. "But this is the first Sunday game in a big environment. We've won our games when the environment has not been that way, and we lost some focus tonight and we're going to have to become a better team on the road."
With the loss, Vanderbilt falls to 19-6 on the season, and 7-5 in the SEC. Next action for the 'Dores will be on Thursday night, when they host the Florida Gators (16-9 overall, 6-6 in the SEC). Game time is 8 p.m.Follow @wbbVandyMania
