Learn More about the Symptoms, Effects and Treatments by Substance
The Alcoholic Treatment Process
Alcoholism Intervention
The expertise of a qualified interventionist is often needed to help the abuser realize the damage their drinking is doing to themselves and those closest to them. An intervention consists of bringing together the alcohol abuser's friends and family, having a serious discussion about their addiction, and requesting they to enter a substance abuse treatment facility.
Alcohol Detox Program
Detoxing is the process of washing the intoxicants from the body, in this case alcohol. While it sounds simple, there are a number of serious, unpleasant symptoms while withdrawing that can keep people from getting the treatment they need. Many of these can be tended to medicinally at most treatment clinics you'll find in League City, TX.
Residential Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers
Executive League City alcohol rehabs frequently are better at minimizing client relpases than outpatient centers, which is one reason why many find them superior when attempting to achieve sobriety. There are many private options available for those seeking first-class amenities during their stay. 30, 60 and 90-day rehabilitation courses are typical for these centers.
Addiction Therapies and Aftercare Following Inpatient Treatment
Maintaining an alcohol-free life is a long-term pursuit, but for those who feel like they need further assistance after rehabilitation, addiction therapy is perfect. Through group meetings and counseling, recovering addicts can continue growing their support system and get the extra nudge they need to remain alcohol-free.
What About Luxury Alcohol Treatment Centers?
Luxury alcohol treatment centers in League City have a common goal: to make their guests happy and comfortable. If you want the best-rated treatment in surroundings resembling a first-class resort, you should give serious consideration to these clinics.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is reporting in its Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Submission that it has been carrying out research with the Italian Department of Energy. The full document in PDF format can be read here.
On page 51 of the document there is a 2011-2013 budget line of $32 million for, "Fundamentals of Nanoscale and Emergent Effects and Engineered Devices". One of the accomplishments in this section for 2011 is:
Continued quantification of material parameters that control degree of increase in excess heat generation and life expectancy of power cells in collaboration with the Italian Department of Energy. Established ability to extend active heat generation time from minutes to 2.5 days for pressure-activated power cells.
On the next page, one of the listed goals for 2012 is:
Establish scalability and scaling parameters in excess heat generation processes in collaboration with the Italian Department of Energy.
Excess heat generation is what LENR/Cold Fusion research has always been about, and it's interesting to see that there is activity and seeming progress in this field within DARPA. Also very interesting here is the involvement of the Italian Department of Energy. We have seen the fingerprints of Italians on many LENR projects, and now they are helping a US military research team. There has to be a lot of interest within DARPA about the activities of Rossi, Piantelli, Defkalion and the many others involved in this field — I'm sure lots of interesting conversations going on between the Italians and Americans!
Thanks to Next Big Future for unearthing this interesting detail!

5 emblematic addresses
accordeons-flou-1400x200-2Novotel Honk Kong Citygate Back to the future
Head to Tung Chung, on Lantau Island. Since the days of the Ming dynasty, the inhabitants of this ancient rural village have made their living by fishing and farming. Now a veritable business and shopping center, the Novotel Hong Kong Citygate has nevertheless retained this authentic, friendly atmosphere whilst offering an address that is particularly modern and stylish.
accordeons-flou-1400x200-4Novotel Krasnoyarsk Center (Russia) Where time stands still
It might seem as though time has no influence over the pretty city of Krasnoyarsk… One of Russia's longest rivers, called Yenisei, is just a few meters from the hotel, lending a timeless atmosphere to the place. As soon as they step inside, guests are filled with a familiar feeling: the comforts of home mixed with a gentle urge for adventure. A new destination, new culture and new friends. Strong feelings are much in evidence at the Novotel Krasnoyarsk Center.
accordeons-flou-1400x200-3Novotel Amsterdam Schiphol (Netherlands) One surprise after another
Lush vegetation, wooden cycles, a wall inspired by artworks in the Rijksmuseum.... The Novotel Amsterdam Schiphol lobby is definitely unlike any other. Once you arrive at the reception desk, everything is done at little individual tables for a unique experience to suit each individual guest. A little added bonus: the address is respectful of its environment and produces its own honey from bees living in the atrium garden!
accordeons-flou-1400x200-4Novotel Danang Premier Han River (Vietnam) A breathtaking view
From the moment they arrive at the stylish, light and airy entrance hall at this address, guests can instantly forget all about the hustle and bustle of this city. But as you head up, it becomes even easier to escape! As they ascend the 37 floors of this skyscraper, a refreshing haven awaits each visitor: an outdoor pool, veranda, lounge and nightclub... Even the most hardened of them will be dazzled by the panoramic view over the city, its beaches and bridges.
accordeons-flou-1400x200-7Novotel Munich City Arnulfpark (Germany) Feel at home
The smell of freshly baked bread, straight from the oven and the harmony of cool colors mixed with the contrasting wooden furniture, make Novotel Munich City Arnulfpark a decidedly unusual address with a warm feel to it. The Gourmet Bar, centrally located in the lobby and visible from outside, draws in many passersby who do not hesitate to come and get a coffee or snack to take away! In fact, this address has its own bakery where the head baker makes a great variety of bread and bakery products using fresh, local ingredients with excellent health properties.

When it comes to representing its interests, the window and door industry...
John Swanson,
Lobbyists aren't the most beloved figures in America, but as one speaker told attendees at last week's WDMA meeting—"If you're not at the table, you're on the plate."
I think the organization's members were already convinced, but WDMA is now planning to step up its advocacy efforts. I don't know if that means finding someone on K Street in Washington, D.C., but developing a more proactive voice for our industry is probably not a bad idea. We have a pretty good story to tell and could probably do a better job telling it.
But what do you think? Have we been "on the plate"? That's the subject of our poll question of the week. And I'd like to hear from you, too. Can you point to examples from Washington or your state legislature where the window and door industry was burned because no one was out there speaking on our behalf? How about within the code bodies or other organizations? What issues do you think we need to be more proactive about? Email me and let me know.
For poll results and industry feedback about this topic, click to the next page, and read Page 2 of "The Talk..."

Chapter Fourteen
How All Were Very Busy
A little before two o'clock, Trumpkin and the Badger sat with the rest of the creatures at the wood's edge looking across at the gleaming line of Miraz's army which was about two arrow-shots away. In between, a square space of level grass had been staked for the combat. At the two far corners stood Glozelle and Sopespian with drawn swords. At the near corners were Giant Wimbleweather and the Bulgy Bear, who in spite of all their warnings was sucking his paws and looking, to tell the truth, uncommonly silly. To make up for this, Glenstorm on the right of the lists, stock-still except when he stamped a hind hoof occasionally on the turf, looked much more imposing than the Telmarine baron who faced him on the left. Peter had just shaken hands with Edmund and the Doctor, and was now walking down to the combat. It was like the moment before the pistol goes at an important race, but very much worse.
"I wish Aslan had turned up before it came to this," said Trumpkin.
"So do I," said Trufflehunter. "But look behind you."
"Crows and crockery!" muttered the Dwarf as soon as he had done so. "What are they? Huge people -- beautiful people -- like gods and goddesses and giants. Hundreds and thousands of them, closing in behind us. What are they?"
"It's the Dryads and Hamadryads and Silvans," said Trufflehunter. "Aslan has wakened them."
"Humph!" said the Dwarf. "That'll be very useful if the enemy try any treachery. But it won't help the High King very much if Miraz proves handier with his sword."
The Badger said nothing, for now Peter and Miraz were entering the lists from oppositeends, both on foot, both in chain shirts, with helmets and shields. They advanced till they were close together. Both bowed and seemed to speak, but it was impossible to hear what they said. Next moment the two swords flashed in the sunlight. For a second the clash could be heard but it was immediately drowned because both armies began shouting like crowds at a football match.
"Well done, Peter, oh, well done!" shouted Edmund as he saw Miraz reel back a whole pace and a half. "Follow it up, quick!" And Peter did, and for a few seconds it looked as if the fight might be won. But then Miraz pulled himself together -- began to make real use of his height and weight. "Miraz! Miraz! The King! The King!" came the roar of the Telmarines. Caspian and Edmund grew white with sickening anxiety.
"Peter is taking some dreadful knocks," said Edmund.
"Hullo!" said Caspian. "What's happening now?"
"Both falling apart," said Edmund. "A bit blown, I expect. Watch. Ah, now they're beginning again, more scientifically this time. Circling round and round, feeling each other's defences."
"I'm afraid this Miraz knows his work," muttered the Doctor. But hardly had he said this when there was such a clapping and baying and throwing up of hoods among the Old Narnians that it was nearly deafening.
"What was it? What was it?" asked the Doctor. "My old eyes missed it."
"The High King has pricked him in the armpit," said Caspian, still clapping. "Just where the arm-hole of the hauberk let the point through. First blood."
"It's looking ugly again, now, though," said Edmund. "Peter's not using his shield properly. He must be hurt in the left arm."
It was only too true. Everyone could see that Peter's shield hung limp. The shouting of the Telmarines redoubled.
"You've seen more battles than I," said Caspian. "Is there any chance now?"
"Precious little," said Edmund. "I suppose he might just do it. With luck."
"Oh, why did we let it happen at all?" said Caspian.
Suddenly all the shouting on both sides died down. Edmund was puzzled for a moment. Then he said, "Oh, I see. They've both agreed to a rest. Come on, Doctor. You and I may be able to do something for the High King." They ran down to the lists and Peter came outside the ropes to meet them, his face red and sweaty, his chest heaving.
"Is your left arm wounded?" asked Edmund.
"It's not exactly a wound," Peter said. "I got the full weight of his shoulder on my shield -- like a load of bricks -- and the rim of the shield drove into my wrist. I don't think it's broken, but it might be a sprain. If you could tie it up very tight I think I could manage."
While they were doing this, Edmund asked anxiously, "What do you think of him, Peter?"
"Tough," said Peter. "Very tough. I have a chance if I can keep him on the hop till his weight and short wind come against him -- in this hot sun too. To tell the truth, I haven't much chance else. Give my love to -- to everyone at home, Ed, if he gets me. Here he comes into the lists again. So long, old chap. Goodbye, Doctor. And I say, Ed, say something specially nice to Trumpkin. He's been a brick."
Edmund couldn't speak. He walked back with the Doctor to his own lines with a sick feeling in his stomach.
But the new bout went well. Peter now seemed to be able to make some use of his shield, and he certainly made good use of his feet. He was almost playing Tig with Miraz now, keeping out of range, shifting his ground, making the enemy work.
"Coward!" booed the Telmarines. "Why don't you stand up to him? Don't you like it, eh? Thought you'd come to fight, not dance. Yah!"
"Oh, I do hope he won't listen to them," said Caspian.Prince Caspian. Copyright © by C. Lewis. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved. Available now wherever books are sold.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

In the novel Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis, Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan accidentally arrive back in Narnia. They come across a dwarf, Trumpkin, who works for Caspian (nephew of Miraz). Caspian's tutor, Doctor Cornelius, helps him escape into the wilderness of Narnia. King Miraz furiously searched for Caspian. Meanwhile, Caspian had sent Trumkin out to search for the kings of Narnia (Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan). As they make their way to Caspian, they get lost. Lucy sees Aslan, who says that the Detour was his fault and that they should follow him. The two girls and boys split up and go separate ways. The boys find Caspian and Miraz arguing. This is when Peter steps in and fights Miraz. The very next day, Aslan creates a doorway for them to go through to go back to England. They soon arrive in the railway station like nothing had ever happened. There are many positives from this book. I like how one year goes by in our time when hundreds go by in narnian time. This book may seem very long, but if you really enjoy it, it will fly by. The book has some negatives in it too. I like how C.S. is telling two stories in the beginning (The kings and Caspian). Some of the words are very hard to understand. The book can get boring and long. C.S. Lewis writes in an expository manner by using descriptive words and explaining things that are hard to understand. She writes with many many details. If you like adventure and battles, this book is for you. The book flies by making you want to read other books in this series. There are many other books by C.S. Lewis such as the following: The "Chronicles of Narnia", Yours, Jack, Words to Live By, Mere Christianity, Space Trilogy, The Great Divorce: A Dream, and many more.
This book is asome
What in the world? Thats disgusting! Not to be rude, though. Anyway, loved the book and will be reading it again!
This book was outstanding. The C.S Lewis has created this entirely new world, and it seems to be pulled right out of our greatest childhood fantasy's. No amount of words can do this book justice you have to read it for yourself.
I love the book.(')>
Loved the book and movie hard to decide which one i liked better.good job c.s lewis!my favorite chacter is eustace because he learned a good life lesson.aslan is very good too!
If you've fallen in love with The Chronicles of Narnia, you've gotta check out PC!! This book is one of my all-time favorites. The book could be read as either book 2 or book 4, depending on which order you're reading them in. You can either read it after The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, or after The Hose and His Boy. Either way, it's a great read!! By the way, I think the filmmakers did a wonderful job on the movie. Just saying. :0)
i like the second book MUCH better from nine year old
I have finished reading the book The chronicles of Narnia 'Prince Caspian'. This book i would say is very interesting. In a a way i think this book is quite better than others that i have have read. Why you may ask, well because is has action and adventure with these four kids named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensey. I really enjoyed reading this book. The reason is because, first of all, this book is on Narnia, and I happened to like the other books based on The Chronicles of Narnia. Next, this has action and is quite funny too. I really suggest for you to read this book, The Chronicles Of Narnia 'Prince Caspian'
When I bought the boxed set before the first Narnia movie was released, the story of the Magician's Nephew pulled me into the realm of possibly the greatest writer of all time. I had a great time reading the first three. But when I started Prince Caspian, I don't know, maybe I was just really tired, but I couldn't make it through the book. It seemed quite sudden. A person blows the horn, and well, the 4 reappear in Narnia. Maybe I was really tired, I might give it another shot, but I know which books are good, I am willing to stay up late for them, but I don't think Prince Caspian met up to my standards.
There is a chat at july res1-2 Just search july and click on the first or second result.
I think this is not age appropeit. It probly has killing and other bad stuff. I think eleven years and younger should not read this book. It MIGHT givve night mares.

(The Inklings Series is a monthly series featuring the works of my two favorites, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, or books about them. But I don't want it to be just me chatting about these books, so that's where y'all come in! I'll announce the book at least four weeks in advance of when the discussion post will go live, so you have plenty of time to get the book and read it. Then, the following month, I'll post a discussion post and let the fun begin!!) I mentioned this on Twitter, but everytime I finish a Narnia book, my soul feels refreshed. I love Lewis' capability to help us understand God's character through Aslan and humanity through the people and creatures of Narnia. Every time I reread them, I have more life experiences, so I seem to understand these things more deeply. I love when the stories mention the history of Narnia. I'd forgotten that Caspian's line, the Telmarines, were pirates from our world (thus why Caspian ruled as a son of Adam), had a famine and then invaded Narnia. What are the odds stories from the "missing" years will appear? You know, Go Set a Watchman style, but without the shadiness? I'm so curious what happened in all those years between the destruction of the White Witch and Caspian. Did the Telmarines rule for all those years then? Who ruled Narnia after the siblings left? Questions, questions. There were two things I really enjoyed from Prince Caspian: How the characters' reactions or beliefs mirror how many people believe or don't. How Lewis displayed the freedom that comes with following Aslan. Before diving into that a bit more, I just have to mention I caught the chuckles every time they referred to Trumpkin as D.L.F (Dear Little Friend). Also, I love Lucy! Especially because of comebacks like this: "That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They never can carry a map in their heads." "That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy. Lewis had an incredible way of describing Narnia and all those who lived there with such ease. When the council was forming, I learned so much more about the creatures and their personalities just by reading their reactions to when they should have the council. Like so: "The Bulgy Bears were very anxious to have the feast first and leave the council till afterwards: perhaps till to-morrow. Reepicheep and his Mice said that councils and feasts could both wait, and proposed storming Miraz in his own castle that very night. Pattertwig and the other squirrels said they could talk and eat at the same time, so why not have the council and feast all at once? The Moles proposed throwing up entrenchments round the Lawn before they did anything else. The Fauns thought it would be better to begin with a solemn dance. The Old Raven, while agreeing with the Bears that it would take too long to have a full council before supper, begged to be allowed to give a brief address to the whole company. But Caspian and the Centaurs and the Dwarfs over-ruled all these suggestions and insisted on holding a real Council of War at once."

Is alright to use paint stripper on fibre glass ?
Is alright to use paint stripper on fibre glass ?
Last edited by FettTheHunter; Apr 6, 2005 at 4:47 AM. Reason: Corrections
Do not use paint stripper, it will eat the resin, and melt it. You want to rub it down with acetone and sand it with 800-1000 grit sandpaper, wetsanding it in acetone.
Lightly ravorblade it off coat by coat in soapy water with a flat blade then sandpaper the rough spots, this removes layers of paint easily.
Thanks Cal 196 ... I thought as much
Last edited by FettTheHunter; Apr 6, 2005 at 4:46 AM. Reason: Corrections
You might want to check what kind of primer you used. It's ok to put acrylic on lacquer, but not vice versa...
Another thing it COULD be...did you lightly sand the primed area before you laid your paint down? This stuff needs something to "grab" onto.
Just a thought...hope it helps.
Its just normal automotive primer ... acrylic based
It worked so well on my helmet
Last edited by FettTheHunter; Apr 6, 2005 at 4:49 AM. Reason: Spelling
Sand it smooth right down to the white and reprimer it, it wont hurt it. Just dont go to deep or you will get holes in the knee's from fiberglass bubbles under the gealcoat, perfectly normal but just dont go to far, if you do bondo just over them.
Thanks Cal196 ... appreciate it


text: Feb 26, 2014 - I have 3c hair. I typically use Aubrey Organics Rose conditioner to detangle. However, I really was using so much of it that I finally decided to buy a detangler. This product made my hair worse. It dryed it out and did nothing for detangling, it actually matted it up. I think it is the citric acid and BTMS in it. The only thing I like about it is the clever name.

The usual dosage which a health care provider will recommend you is a 200mg Aciclovir tablet more a day for five successive days to remove all the discomfort. Like a stick insect's bizarre shape, the wild Lindsay is a master of camouflage; watch her don an increasingly ridiculous variety of boots to cover her SCRAM bracelet. The syndrome is a lot more commonly present in those over the age of 60 years old. For ten minutes, just have a glass of dairy up to room temperature, after which immerse a clean cloth in it. There are some that will disagree with this particular, but it's been extremely effective for me, and many others I've advised.
They are however, much less affective in serious swelling conditions. Valtrex comes as blue tablets that are oblong in shape. Before blisters form, an itchy, tingly sensation may be felt inside affected area.

These active cold sores around the mouth also can transmit the infection, should they come directly in exposure to the genitals during oral sex. It's kind of cold that folks are saying she's just finished him, as it isn't like that. The best that doctors are able to do if you have shingles is prescribe an antiviral medicine to help you fight the herpes simplex virus.

text: NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Research on China's Coal Tar Industry, 2013-2017 http://www.reportlinker.com/p01084129/Research-on- China's-Coal-Tar-Industry-2013-2017.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Coal_energy Coal tar products play an extremely important role in the world chemical raw materials. The development of tar chemical is one of the very important topics in many countries. Countries are actively developing coal tar depth processing and new separation technology so as to produce marketable and high value-added new products. During 2010-2011, China's coal tar annual production capacity is increasing year by year; the average annual growth rate is about 20%. But China's coal tar market is weak in 2012; its total production capacity is about 22 million tons, increasing 4.30% compared with 2011. In terms of regional distribution, affected by the raw materials, coal tar is still mainly distributed in North China and East China. The operating rate of coal tar enterprises was not high in the first half of 2012, but the overall supply of coke in China still maintain a growth momentum. In the first half of 2012, China's cumulative production of coke was 221,761,000 tons; China's coal tar output was 8,870,440 tons, increasing 6.12% year-on-year. With the continuous development of China's economy and the increasing requirements of the environmental protection, the deep processing of coal tar become an urgent issue to solve. Seen from the current development status of coal tar industry, the domestic coal tar industry is at an important period of integration reform. Coal tar industry is developing towards the direction of centralization, fine separation, further processing and the synthesis of new materials. The development of coal tar industry depends on investment and the market. However, with the development of deep processing and the increase of product added value, technology occupies an increasing proportion. 1.

Very gentle
We have had two dogs go to Ferguson's. Unfortunately both were very ill and had to be put to sleep. The doctors and staff were very kind and understanding. They not only called to check up on us, but they kept us informed with lab results. Their kindness made everything a lot easier to deal with.

Kudos, you did well, hope the 'authorities' get that baby in a safer situation!
This is a discussion on Parking Lots and Human Trash... within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Glad you are ok. It is good you did not have to shoot. The woman would claim you started it all and want you arrested ...
Glad you are ok. It is good you did not have to shoot. The woman would claim you started it all and want you arrested for murder.
Kudos, you did well, hope the 'authorities' get that baby in a safer situation!
From what you said I feel you did a job well done.
Once you made the decision to get involved, it sounds like you did everything right: had phone ready, were prepared to defend yourself, called police immediately...
And I'm NOT saying you were wrong to get involved. Your call, and only you could make it based on the factors you saw.
The woman is an idiot for putting up with that treatment. She is the type who eventually gets killed by her "lover".
And yes, she probably would have testified against you as the aggressor, had anything else happened. Fortunately there may have been cameras or witnesses who would back you up.
You gave her a chance, and she threw it away. No way would I criticize you for getting involved this time. But if I saw the same woman doing the same dance again with the guy, I might call the police again but I wouldn't get involved any further than that. If she insists on living that life, that's her choice. No sense in taking you down with her.
No reason to be hard on yourself. You just showed you have some compassion left.
Every situation is different. These days, if you blink "wrong" in the direction of a would-be felon, your goose is cooked. So, yes, any sort of involvement at any level is a risk. But you don't know. It's a judgment call.
You said it. We all have a bit of responsibility as to how this world is going to turn out. It's what we make of it, to a large degree. Can't do much but monitor and call for the cavalry, many times, but often that's enough.
As this situation showed, if a situation isn't a deadly sort, yet, then it's a reasonable bet that simply hanging around and ensuring things get witnessed is going to go a long way toward helping protect those on the receiving end.
As the attacker quickly found out, public battery wasn't going to be the secretive act that he thought it would be, and he wasn't going to get away with the apparent planned A&B of you. Of course, it's very likely, perhaps even probable, that he simply clocked her once they were in private ... even though she herself was driving to the place of her own battery, with a child in tow.
It's a risk, sure. Though, I probably would have done much the same thing, from hanging around monitoring the actions, to documenting the players and the license plate, to calling the cavalry. Given the young child and the other details you described, IMO it was worth the risk.
Of course, had he pulled a tire iron or knife, and been faster on his toes, things could have turned out differently. No telling how badly it could have gone. Kudos for going into the situation with eyes wide open. Anything else would have been the actions of an idiot.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Very well done .
I have had a very close deal to that before I had a carry permit
in parking lot of Home Depot.
over all you did good. something to think about though if you come across a situation like that again is to call police first and get them in route asap before involved parties can leave. i think by you getting involved disrupted the situation giving them a chance to flee. i would have stayed back as an observer and witness only unless the victim is within an inch of their life. it used to be you could get involved without repercussion, but nowadays people are always looking to sue to make a quick buck.
Great job. It is always right to come to the aide of children.
I think you did well. Agree next time you should call 911 and get help sooner. If they injured the baby in front of you without your intervention I can gurantee you wouldn't have questions regarding how you feel.
You can sleep well with a clear conscience in my book.
Bravo. You did the right thing. My view on the this guy is, just because he possesses the physical characteristics that males have, that doesn't make him a man.
I agree with dgreen, you handled the situation great, I just would have called 911 sooner to get the LEO's heading your way faster (hopefully??) If your LEOS are overwhelmed with idiots and morons as ours I am sorry, service is going to be slow !! Great job for making a stand for the child.!
God Bless the troops...especially the snipers!

The above posts sum up my thoughts.... and that is very disturbing that she is blind to see that her man is never going to stop beating her.... you can change ignorance but stupid is forever
NRA Certified Rifle/Pistol Instructor
Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
The woman is probably the type that is addicted to the drama associated with abusive relationships. I'm quite sure she has been through a string of similar incidents with various boyfriends and gets some twisted thrill from it. I guess they just need attention and will take any kind they can get, even if it's bad attention.
Regardless, you did what you thought was right and left it up to her to stand up for herself if that was what she really wanted. Obviously, it was not.
I know why you're irritated; in fact, I'm a little irritated for you, myself -- I've had my fill of these trashy people that constantly attempt to suck you into their pathetic lives.
Learn to recognize and avoid them. OMO.
My to you Jahwarrior, other then a few wasted minutes and dealing with two idiots, you did what was right for that, you should feel good even though she left with the goof. You had your weapon with you so the danger to you while high was still manageable.

Investigating users' intuitive interaction with complex artefacts
Blackler, Alethea L., Popovic, Vesna, & Mahar, Douglas P. (2010) Investigating users' intuitive interaction with complex artefacts. Applied Ergonomics, 41(1), pp. 72-92.
Accepted Version
(PDF 216kB)
This paper examines the role of intuition in the way that people operate unfamiliar devices. Intuition is a type of cognitive processing that is often non-conscious and utilises stored experiential knowledge. Intuitive interaction involves the use of knowledge gained from other products and/or experiences. Two initial experimental studies revealed that prior exposure to products employing similar features helped participants to complete set tasks more quickly and intuitively, and that familiar features were intuitively used more often than unfamiliar ones. A third experiment confirmed that performance is affected by a person's level of familiarity with similar technologies, and also revealed that appearance (shape, size and labelling of features) seems to be the variable that most affects time spent on a task and intuitive uses during that time. Age also seems to have an effect. These results and their implications are discussed.

More than 175 Attend 2nd Annual Bridge Busting Competition
January 15, 2014
PLANO, Ill. – 4-H'ers, school students, families and residents from DuPage, Kane and Kendall counties put their engineering skills to the test in the Second Annual Bridge Busting Competition on Saturday, Jan. 11 in Plano.
More than 175 people attended this year's competition sponsored by University of Illinois Extension and Rural King store in Plano and hosted by the Fox Valley Family YMCA. For weeks, registered teams had been designing and building their entries, and on Jan. 11, more than 25 teams competed in aesthetics and strength in four divisions: elementary school, middle school, family and youth. Aesthetics is judged on provided specifications, quality of craftsmanship, sound structural design and originality. Strength is determined by an efficiency calculation based on maximum weight supported and the weight of the bridge.
The father-son duo of Jeff and Austin Nakaerts of Plainfield took home the top prizes of Overall Aesthetics and Overall Strength, after winning first place for both in the Family Division. The team's bridge included arched features, and held more than 34 pounds with a total rating of 339.647.
In the Middle School Division, a Downers Grove school's all-female team earned first place in both aesthetics and strength. O'Neill Middle School Team No. 1 members are: Erica Alves, Kelly Lyons, Jillian Paladino, Abby Carlson and Emma Ansah. As well as winning for design, their bridge held 32.1 pounds and earned a total rating of 308.983. O'Neill Middle School also had its Team No. 3 place second for strength and Team No. 4 finish third for aesthetics.
"We had another fantastic year of creative bridge designs and tough competition," said Jo Ann Britton, 4-H and Youth Development Program Coordinator with University of Illinois Extension. "The Bridge Busting Competition provides area youth, students and families with a unique way to challenge their brains while having fun."
During the judging, attendees and teams learned about real-world bridge design from Monica Crinion, who is a former DuPage County 4-H member and a senior engineer at Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. in Aurora. They also had the opportunity to test out the 4-H National Youth Science Day project, Maps and Apps.
The full results of the 2014 Bridge Bust are as follows:
Family Division: Aesthetics: First place: Nakaert Family of Plainfield; Second place: Hill Family of Minooka; and Third place: Undesser Family of Plano. Strength: First place: Nakaert Family, Second place: Undesser Family, and Third place: Olson Family of Sandwich
Youth Division: Aesthetics: First place: Sander/Esposito Team of Yorkville; Second place: DeVol/Shimp Team of Yorkville. Strength: First place: DeVol/Shimp Team; Second place: Sander/Esposito Team.
Elementary School Division: Aesthetics: First place: Yorkville Intermediate School, Team No. 1; Second place: Yorkville Intermediate School, Team No. 2; Third place: Grand Reserve Elementary School (Yorkville), Team No. 2. Strength: First place: Grand Reserve Elementary School, Team No. 1; Second place: Grand Reserve Elementary School, Team No. 2; Third place: Yorkville Intermediate School, Team No. 2.
Middle School Division: Aesthetics: First place: O'Neill Middle School (Downers Grove), Team No. 1; Second place: Thompson Junior High School (Oswego), Team No. 1; Third place: O'Neill Middle School, Team No. 4. Strength: First place: O'Neill Middle School, Team No. 1; Second place: O'Neill Middle School, Team No. 3; Third place: Yorkville Middle School, Team No. 1.
This fun, educational event was sponsored by University of Illinois Extension, with cooperation and materials from Rural King and hosted by the Fox Valley Family YMCA. Judges for the event were from the University of Illinois American Society of Civil Engineers: Mark Keller, Trevor Murphy and Cody Wittenkeller.

Waldo Canyon Fire exhibit opens
On display at Pioneers Museum
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An exhibit focusing on aspects of last summer's Waldo Canyon Wildfire opened Saturday at the Pioneers Museum in downtown Colorado Springs.
The exhibit is titled "From The Ashes: The Waldo Canyon Fire."
The exhibit includes samples of burned debris, recovered possessions, wildfire history and information about local climate, agencies involved in battling the fire, and how the community recovered and rebuilt.
A brief mention of the recent Black Forest Wildfire is part of the exhibit.
A museum spokesman said the exhibit likely will become a permanent addition, though it will change periodically with different attractions.

And I've no idea what you're on about now, I've not added any badges to my car! Nor have I added M3 mirrors. I've added genuine Audi RS6 chrome mirrors, that are probably worth more than your entire car, and your *cough* Nissans.
And my car doesn't have racing pedigree because of its mirrors... you made that one up! Losing your marbles are you?

Sacramento card scrubbed
Courtesy Jim Jenkins, Sacramento Bee
A boxing-MMA card scheduled for March 5 at Sacramento's Red Lion Hotel has been postponed for at least a month. The lead bouts for the boxing portion of the show were to feature heavyweight Ashanti Jordan of San Francisco and Sacramento light heavyweight Ernesto Castaneda. Hotel owner Jeff Berger and promoter Nasser Niavaroni, who launched a series of small ballroom-sized cards at the hotel a few years ago to help develop area prospects, are looking to rebook the show by April, possibly outdoors. Looming as an all-local main event is a much-anticipated third meeting between Castaneda and fellow local Otis Griffin, who won their first two bouts but needed a last-round knockout to secure the second victory.

What is Fasting?
Fasting—abstaining from food for a period of time—is a powerful, time-honored, but neglected medical therapy. In today's world, it's easy to forget that the human body is easily able to go for days and, in some cases, weeks without food. And few people are aware that the same innate mechanisms that allow us to survive food shortages can also be harnessed to treat diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and other health problems.
Taking a break from eating gives your body a chance to rest and, much like rebooting a computer, this therapy resets key physiological activities, which explains why benefits endure after the fast ends. During a water-only fast, you lose excess sodium and water, resulting in significant improvements in blood pressure and edema. Your intestinal tract has a chance to heal, thereby improving not only chronic gastrointestinal issues but also autoimmune disorders, allergies, and other conditions related to a leaky gut.
Fasting also has dramatic effects on insulin resistance, and a multi-day fast is often a turning point for individuals with diabetes or metabolic syndrome. It mobilizes toxins and is an excellent therapy for detoxification. And, in addition to the obvious weight loss, it helps you adapt to a healthier diet and reduces cravings for salt and sugar once you resume eating.
How Fasting/Mini-Fasting Can Help You
A medically supervised fast at the Whitaker Wellness Institute involves much more than simply not eating. First, you will be evaluated by one of our physicians to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this therapy, then you will be closely monitored for the duration of your fast. Per your doctor's instructions, you may concurrently undergo other treatments offered at the clinic. You will also attend the daily lectures and additional activities of our Back to Health Program, with the exception of exercise, which should be minimal during a fast. Most important, you can rest assured that you will be undergoing this therapy in a safe, supportive, professional environment.
Mini-Fast With Exercise Program
Fasting certainly isn't for everyone—but our mini-fast with exercise program just might be. This exceptionally powerful protocol for achieving enduring weight loss, lower blood pressure, and blood sugar control simply involves skipping breakfast, exercising in the morning, and eating sensibly at lunch and dinner. You may have to try it to believe it, but patients rave about how easy this program is to stick with. Skipping breakfast eliminates an entire meal, so you don't have to count calories throughout the day or go on a starvation diet. Morning exercise plus targeted nutritional supplements that your Whitaker Wellness physician will prescribe significantly blunt appetite and increase energy so you won't be hungry or tired during your mini-fast.
During your clinic visit or Back to Health Program, you will be instructed in the particulars of the mini-fast with exercise program—and begin your journey toward lasting weight loss and optimal weight. Both fasting and the mini-fast with exercise work hand-in-hand with the other innovative therapies and nutritional supplement protocols your Whitaker Wellness physician may prescribe for you. In many cases, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their reliance on prescription drugs after undergoing these treatments.
What Conditions Benefit From Fasting?
In addition to weight problems, several conditions benefit from fasting and mini-fasting including, but not limited to:
- Allergies
- Autoimmune disorders
- Chronic gastrointestinal (GI) problems
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Metabolic syndrome
- Obesity

Creative Artists Confront Sales Anxiety
Raven Hanna, 34, approaches her art with the practicality one might expect from someone holding a PhD in molecular biophysics who quit the laboratory-rat race to make jewelry. Though she considers herself an artist, she has no romantic ideas about starving for her craft.
About 75% of Hanna's business, Made with Molecules, comes from direct sales through her Web site, Etsy.com (BusinessWeek.com, 6/12/07) with the remaining quarter from wholesalers and occasional trade shows and craft fairs (BusinessWeek.com, 7/26/06) in Northern California, where she is based. But Hanna dreaded selling in person. "To really be out there personally with your product is a lot different from being anonymous behind a Web site," she says. "I wasn't sure how 'sales-y' I should be. When people came over, should I just say hi and tell them about my product, or tell them about a special I have? Or…" Or, what else, she didn't know. That was part of the problem.
Getting Comfortable with the Come-On
Hanna knows that her creations—silver charms inspired by the shapes of chemical compounds like serotonin—are commercial products meant to be bought and worn, not hung in a gallery. Yet Hanna, who now runs her company as a full-time business, admits that she still has trouble with what she calls "the whole selling thing." To her, the concept of capital-S "Sales" was both distasteful and confusing. "I've never really liked salespeople, so to suddenly be one was really difficult," Hanna admits. Her experience is common among those who straddle the art/commerce divide.
Anti-consumerism activists like Anne Elizabeth Moore, the author of Unmarketable, point out that pursuing a career in art doesn't have to involve creating objects for purchase. It isn't, she admits, an easy way to make a living, which is why many artists turn to the commercial sector (BusinessWeek.com, 7/10/01) in the first place. In a 2006 study from the University of Minnesota, 39% of the 1,800 artists surveyed reported spending more than two-thirds of their professional time in the for-profit commercial sector; only 19% reported doing no commercial work at all.) But working on the commercial side of the art/commerce divide poses its own set of challenges for the 50% or so of artists who are self-employed (BusinessWeek.com, 3/28/07).
When Petra Geiger founded Beehive Co-op as a collective boutique for Atlanta designers, she discovered that most designers who joined were utterly clueless when it came to selling their own wares. About 1 in 20 are natural, she says. "The rest don't really know to approach it: They're scared of it, it's not comfortable for them at all, and they don't really seem to have any skills to draw from."
Conquering Fears of Rejection
But Geiger says what most sellers need to know doesn't require any formal education—just the right tools (a business card, a Web site, and e-mail list sign-up), common sense, and a good role model to observe and ask questions. For most artisans, she says, the biggest hurdle is psychological. Because many artists see their work as an extension of themselves, not just a product, dealing with the fear of rejection at the root of sales anxiety (BusinessWeek.com, 3/15/07) takes confidence and practice to get over.
Jen Bekman, a gallery owner in New York City, says she can certainly empathize. "It's so personal, it's so emotional—I tell my artists all the time that I don't know how they do it, because I couldn't deal with the ongoing rejection that seems inherent to the job." Bekman has less patience for those who hide behind artistic integrity to avoid the necessary (if unpleasant) work (BusinessWeek.com, 10/26/07) that comes with being a professional artist. "The minute you start selling your work, whether you like it or not, you are a businessperson," says Bekman. "You have to have your wits about you." Artists who don't, she says, are only sabotaging themselves.
Click through this slide show for a look at the most common pitfalls artisans make when trying to turn their passion into profits—and how to avoid them.

Whether through individual, family or group therapy, counsellors can assist us in changing our perceptions and behaviours and develop healthy self-esteem, communication, coping skills and emotional well being. (If we could have done it on our own... we would have by now.)
