Individualized Treatment
Certain drug and alcohol rehab centers have standard treatment regimes they expect all patients to follow. Others offer individualized treatment, meaning they tailor treatment to a person's specific background and needs. For example, a rehab facility may adjust a treatment program to take into account the type of drug or addiction from which the person suffers, their age, medical condition(s), religious beliefs, or lifestyle.
Family Program
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Amidst the news of Target's CEO stepping down due to the breach last year, you might have also read about this: Missed Alarms & 40 Million Credit card numbers stolen. It appears from the news report that their infosec team in Bangalore had notified about malicious traffic in the network to their counterparts in US but unfortunately no action was taken. This is disturbing! If a InfoSec team notices a malicious behavior, why aren't they not authorized to act upon? Even as they escalated the matters, looks like no action or follow up were made to neutralize the threat. Acting upon the received alert could have prevent the breach and also save millions of dollars for the company and ofcourse a lost job for the CEO! It is also reported that the active feature in the tool which would have blocked the malicious traffic was turned off and only notification was enabled! Perhaps it was not tuned properly. This is a good lesson to all those investing in Security Tools and applications but not configuring them properly.
This incident reminded me of my own experiences. At my previous company working in a Global IT Risk Management team, we had the freedom and responsibility to take off any system in the network that showed malicious behavior. There were no exceptions to it, even if it were a CEO's system or a critical server and if they posed a threat to our networks, off they were going. This was not an easy task as Security intelligence from multiple sources were to be collated and correlated. These included reports from Network IDS, Firewall logs, AV threat summary, Compliance checks and etc and then finding the owner of a system among tens of thousands of systems needed a herculean effort. Many a time, if we made the contact with the owner, we would give him time just enough to take it offline, repair/clean/reformat and then we would validate it before putting it back on the network.
But before doing that we had to ensure it was not a false positive, quantify the threat and then instruct the network team to pull the plug in case there were no identifiable owner. We made those final call of pushing a system off the net and there was no escalation involved.
Ofcourse, knowing when to press the dreaded kill-switch is something that we got to learn with time, experience and mentoring. Innumerable concalls, followups, understanding network architecture spread over different geographies, different work culture are all part of the job, but worthwhile.
So if you are responsible for data security at your organisation, ensure your team has the skills and freedom to act upon the information and not just wait for the people on the top to give a go ahead.

A man accused of intentionally setting a fire that killed his daughter and girlfriend last week had threatened to do the same thing before.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Nathaniel Beller was not charged four months ago after threatening to set his two children on fire, prompting a standoff with Cicero Police officers.
Beller, 29, was the main suspect in an early-morning fire at a home in Lawndale Saturday that killed his girlfriend, 33-year-old Taniya Johnson and their daughter, 4-year-old daughter Neriyah. Police sources say Beller, who died a day after the fire, used an accelerant to intentionally set the fire and doused his family with the liquid. The couple's 9-year-old son was critically injured with severe burns.
It's eerily similar to the Sept. 9 incident in which police say Beller filled a bathtub with gasoline and throughout the house, but didn't light it.
The Sun-Times reports Beller was freed following a psychiatric evaluation, and not charged by the Cook County State's Attorney office because his girlfriend refused to sign a criminal complaint.
A Cicero spokesman told the newspaper that the police department's efforts to seek felony charges against Beller in September were rejected by the State's Attorney office.
The children were reportedly not supposed to be staying with their parents after being removed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

For three days, Savannah will get to experience Hollywood magic by the light of the stars - all for free.
"Films in Forsyth," a three-day event sponsored by the Student Activities Council at the Savannah College of Art and Design, features three major motion pictures: "Jurassic Park," "North by Northwest" and "Toy Story."
Each will be projected onto a 100-foot screen on the west side of Forsyth Park (adjacent to Whitaker Street).
The event was modeled after Atlanta's "Screen on the Green," said J.T. Blackburn, a SCAD event coordinator.
He said the school's student group wanted to do a free event open to the public.
"Movies are the most heavily trafficked events at SCAD," Blackburn said.
The goal is the fill the west side of Forsyth Park, Blackburn said, but also to provide a high-quality experience.
The screen will be big enough for even those sitting near the basketball courts and there will be four sets of speakers spread evenly throughout the space.
"It should be true surround sound," Blackburn said. "It won't be as good as a theater, but you'll feel like T. Rex is running out of the trees right at you."
Movies were selected in order to target three categories, Blackburn said: the college crowd, young families and movie buffs. Other considerations included the tradition, a la "Screen on the Green," of featuring at least one classic film, preferably one by Alfred Hitchcock.
"Everyone has heard of 'North by Northwest,'" Blackburn said. "But not as many people have actually seen it."

This time, they can settle the score on the floor.
When the Calgary Roughnecks faced off against the Washington Stealth in late January, Saddledome security was summoned to prevent a halftime skirmish between the coaches in a highly-charged contest that featured eight fighting majors.
The National Lacrosse League squads will renew acquaintances Sunday in Everett, Wash., their first meeting since the Stealth posted a lopsided 19-14 victory over the homestanding Riggers.
This week is about getting a win, said Roughnecks captain Andrew McBride. If the bad blood comes up, its probably because somebody did something in that game that is really going to spark the emotions, but I dont think things really carry over. Were not sitting here saying, Oh, last game, Geoff Snider and Mike Kilby got into fights and we need to atone and answer the bell for that. Our focus is getting Ws.
If it turns into a physical game, then we need to really answer that and understand what it takes to be successful in those type of game.
Its hard to imagine it being much more physical than the last one.
Just 26 seconds after the opening faceoff in their Jan. 22 set-to at the Saddledome, Riggers heavyweights Geoff Snider and Mike Kilby dropped the mitts with Matt Beers and Chris ODougherty, respectively.
At halftime, Roughnecks assistant coach Curt Malawsky had to be restrained from entering an area set aside for the visiting team below the bleachers. The total on-floor tally was 84 penalty minutes.
Thats all over with but, you know what? At some point, Im sure the tempers are going to flare in this one, Malawsky said. Its going to be a test for us to see how much weve grown.
After all, theres a lot more at stake than just physical retribution.
The Roughnecks (6-3) sit atop the West Division standings, while the Stealth (5-5) have been scoring at will in their past two games, showing flashes of the offensive prowess that pushed them to a Champions Cup title last spring.
The Riggers handed the Stealth a 13-11 setback in Washington on their banner-raising night at the start of the campaign, and the winner of Sundays showdown will claim the regular-season series and hold the tiebreaker.
As Roughnecks coach Dave Pym pointed out, the past punch-ups between the two squads is just a part of the story.
When somebody walks into our home rink and does what the Stealth did to us, it definitely takes a notch out of that pride, Pym said. Were looking at this game as a real litmus test as to where we stand at this point in the season. I think its a very important game for both teams to see where they stand in the West.
And the fact that they shellacked us the last time we played them is obviously going to provide us with some extra motivation. There were some things that occurred in that game that we take very personally and that agitated us, and we have a lot riding on the game this week.

| T1: Intro |
Gotta love TAITO and their shooters eh? Gotta love Acclaim for publishing this
too. Tiger Heli is a neat little game, and while not quite the Helicopter
greatness as Sky Shark it is still worth a few plays through.
So why choose Tiger Heli? Well, not because so many people think the name is
"Tiger Hell," that for sure. I had picked up a Heli manual back when I started
collecting for the NES. But the game was alreadys old so I got the manual free.
Thummer up. Alright, so I finally get Tiger Heli this summer. That's all it
took for me to write about it. It's a banal story, but a little bit of history
made me pry into this game and see the greatness within. Forward, let us crush
the Terrorist Country fo Cantun!
| T2: Gameplay |
Control Pad: Steer Tiger Heli
Button A: Bomb
Button B: Missiles
Start: Pause
Fly Tiger Heli and use your missiles, your infinite weapon, to destroy most
targets. The bombs spray out around the helicopter. Sometimes, Heli will use
these bombs as chaff automatically as a countermeasure against enemy attacks.
The bombs destroy shots and most enemies so if Tiger Heli is about to get hit
it _sometimes_ does this as a safety measure.
Mostly save yoru bomsb however. Use them only when need be as they're worth a
nice end of round bonus. The stage ends when you reach a helipad. A little
ditty (which is awesome) plays andyou are awarded bonsu points based on the
amount of bombs and little Helis you have when you land.
Little Helis, or Assist Copters, are the Tiger Heli "options." They fire in
tandem with Tiger Heli but can be destroyed.
Tip: when strafing an enemy, learn to move not just on a horizontal path. You
could wind up getting hit by bullets. Learn to weave between bullets and take
some bigger strafes on a diagonal. Move from flank to flank with a little
velocity towards the bottom of the screen to avoid shots as they come. Just
don't go out of missile range.
Here is your screen:

corresponding cross colour. If you want toc hange your assist copter, you will
need to let it get hit.

Looping - THELIL
Stage 1
Begin the game by launching out of the truck. There are some obejects that look
like fans on the ground. Destroy them if you want. Slightly north you'll find
two tanks - one on the left and one on the right. Destroy either, you could get
both but it could be a tight squeeze. There is another tank shortly past the
left. The tanks are stationary and will be firing at you while swivelling their
turrets. I'd suggest starting left but at this point take whatever you feel you
should. If you take the right path look out for the tank arriving from off the
right side of the screen and north.
To the north you see some signs of civilian life. You can destroy the cars and
parts of the buildings for extra points. Above the buildings you'll see some
tanks, both mobile and coming from either side of the screen down the road.
Defeat them then take note of the parking lot to the upper left. Besides other
vehicles there are two tanks here which you'd be wise to destroy. Coming up the
centre road from the south will be another tank, make sure you note it. Dodge
it until you can get behind it and shoot it.
As the screen continues north, two tanks, one from the north and one from the
east, appear on screen. They will appear on the roads. There's another tank as
the scroll continues. The next is from the left, if you want to handle it then
I suggest that you be ready for it. Next, one tank comes down the street and
one waits stationary to the northwest.
You're leaving the houses and grass behind now. Be ready for a tank in the top
left, and three that come from the bottom right. There are also three to the
north. The best you can do is dodge the shots and possibly consider bombing the
northern tanks. Don't miss the bonus block in this area.
You come to some water. Tanks will be coming down the stretch of land on the
right, with oen stationary at the end. Boats will be coming from the north in
the water. Gunboats, like tanks, can rotate their turrets. Near the end of the
strip of land is a cross block. I'd recommend an assist copter of some kind,
with my preference in a sideways firing model.
Above this area, you'll see some small patches of land with green guns on them.
These batteries can rotate to fire at you, but are always stationary. The first
is on the right, the second to the left and up. After this you head to an
airstrip. Shoot the grounded planes and gas tanks for points. There's a bonus
block on the left side of the airstrip.
Leaving this, stick to the left and adestroy the tank that appears. After this,
fly right and destroy the tanks that appear. There's a few so weave and shoot.
When you can, get back to the left and use that cross block for whatever reason
you need, either to change your options or restock bombs. North, four tanks
guard passage, two on either side of the screen. Get past them and prepare for
another blockade of three tanks, two on either side and one in the middle. Up
and left are two stationary tanks, then two come out from paths on the right
and left. Be sure to get the bonus block. Up north is the helipad, land and
then stage 2 will begin.
Stage 2
As you head north, a huge ship looms ahead. There's a gun battery on it which
will be your first target. As you approach the ship, however, watch out for the
gunboats that appear in the bottom right. Keep destroying the big ship's guns
and its single tank. On the dock north of the ship, two tanks will come come
from the left. The next dock has three stationaries and one bonus block.
North, there are some batteries on the ground. Take care of 'em and be ready
for the crossblock. There's a number of gun batteries north of here. They look
big and intimidating but they're no different than the rest. A tank does appear
from the left close to the bottom of the screen, an eye should be kept out for
that. Avoid any tanks from the north and get ready for a battle.
A large, threaded war machine appears to the north. The atatck module only
fires single shots but takes 15 hits to destroy. There are four batteries, two
on either side. There are also three bonus blocks to the upper left. Sideways
little helis could really help out at a time like this. Three tanks arrive from
the upper right and there is a crossblock to the upper left.
Up north over water, you will notice two gun batteries. Gunboats arrive between
them, and basically stick to the centre until you reach the larger shipped at
dock up ahead. Destroy the turret and watch for any ships in the right passage.
Above, there's a stationary tank and one thata rrives. Next, another turret,
then two more arriving tanks. Up north there's another turret, then two
stationaries and a bonus block, then a turret, then one arrival.
North, there's two gun batteries then a bonus block. There's also a red block
you can shoot here for points. Three tanks arrive off the righthand side. Look
for a crossblock after the railway. There's some gun batteries up ahead and
another crossblock. Two stationary tanks to the northwest and a tank comes down
that northern path. Then there's three tanks, one from either side and one in
the middle.
Back out over the water, two gun batteries await. Gunboats arrive from the left
and right sides of the north, so shoot what you can and dodge the rest. Up
ahead is the helipad. Prepare for Stage 3!
Stage 3
Start by destroying the gun battery that appears in the northwest. There's
another right of this and an airplane zooms down the runway from the north.
There's another turret to the west. Destroy the planes up ahead for points and
note that there is a crossblock.
Approaching the green, two tanks emerge from the west, one from the north, and
one from the east. Beyond them, gun batteries and one tank from the west. After
a tank from the east get ready for two staionaries, a bonus block, and a
crossblock. Look out for the tanks up ahead, and keep in mind that a few will
come in from the sides. Northwest is another crossblock. Approaching the end of
thsi area, tanks from either side and three stationary. There's also a gun
battery. Take out the three stationaries in a row, then the battery and keep
There's three gun batteries to the north, they should be no problem. A bonus
block, a few tanks and gun batteries are next. Then, three batteries and two
attack modules. Pretty rough, try to destroy the batteries first. There's a
stationary, battery, and crossblock past the two modules. _Probably_ the best
way to do this is to dodge the modules but that's a pretty big loss of points.
Try whatever you're most comfortable with.
Head up, a tank from the east. when you see the gun battery, there's a bonus
block to the left of it. Head up, there's a few tanks from the sides and a
bunch of gun batteries. Weave and shoot, red little assist copters would be
useful here. Take out the gun batteries and the two stationary tanks. Make sure
you get the bonus block.
Right, there's some green with a diagonal line of three stationary tanks. There
will be a tent, a jeep, and a few batteries. a few tanks from either side and
one plane on the righthand side. When you see the road, two tanks will move
down it from the left and right. Destroy these. Two batteries on the left, one
on the right, and a few planes. From the right on the brown section, tanks.
On the brown section, top left, there will be a bonus block. there's a tank to
the right as you head out over the water. Get ready to hear an awesome theme as
the helipad is just ahead!
Stage 4
Pretty soon after starting, a stationary tank to the northeast will be firing
at you. There's also one moving in from the west. Up next: three staionaries,
start from the left. Then above them is one stationary. Then, one tank from the
left and one from the north. There will also be a stationary tank to the north.
Next, one tank from the left and one tank from the right. There is a crossblock
as you leave this area.
Get ready, two stationaries in the middle, a moving tank from the right. When
you see the gun battery a tank will come form the left. Another stationary tank
to the north. Then another. Okay, see that gap between the trees behind that
last tank? Well, go to the left and shoot the three tanks as they appear. You
will probably shoot one of the two batteries in the process. Keep an eye on the
tank that emerges from the left.
Get to the left and take out the three turrets. North, there's a crossblock and
to its right is a battery. There will be a few stationaries and batteries up
ahead. Take them down to the best of yoru ability. Above them a tank from the
left and right. Two batteries to the north, then a few out on that dirt up
There's also two stationaries around the centre of the screen and to the north.
Three batteries to the north and two attack modules. Again, the modules may not
be destroyed in the time you have. Concentrate your fire yet also keep dodging
shots in mind. There's a bonus block around here if you want to risk it.
Up next is a cross shaped section. Tanks pile in here, weave and destroy. Up
and to the left is a crossblock. Blast the stationary tank above the cross and
then get your item. A tank moves in from the right, and to the north a tank
arrievs from the left and right. Stationary right above this right tank then
two stationaries north and centre. Above this are tanks from the left and
right. approaching the sand, a stationary tank slightly right of centre.
The sand can get kind of hairy, but this is a short section so don't get too
worked up. Three tanks coem on the screen from the left. There are also two
modules, one right of centre and another farther right. They aren't hard to
avoid because of positioning but if you can get past them a bonus block and
crossblocks await.
After this, you'll be assaulted by a stream of planes. Well, by assaulted I
mean there will be lot of them but they won't harm you. Sit back and fire,
enjoy the points. Land on the helipad, you're done! The Helipad. Enjoy a nice
round of an awesome ditty.
Stage 5 reveals itself to be stage 2. The game loops now 2,3,4,2,3,4... so I
guess you could say you've done it.
"Tiger Heli? On the Nintendo Entertainment System? I conquered it."

Album Rating: 3.5Sorry if the review is brief. There just wasn't much to say. And I didn't add the bonus track because I burned my CD and I didn't know about it. Is it a good song?This Message Edited On 03.07.06
Overall it's a good review. I've never been a huge fan of this band but I think I will get this album.
Album Rating: 3.5Like the Angel wasn't realesed as a single? That seems like the best choice.
Like The Angel was indeed a single. Nice review, though more detail would be appreciated. But I see your comment, and it's okay. But your Powerslave review was class.
Album Rating: 3.5Brief but decent review. Not a big fan of rise against, but like the angel is a good songThis Message Edited On 03.07.06
Digging: Iron Chic - You Can't Stay Here
Album Rating: 4.0This review isn't very good. You don't add anything new to the previous reviews. It'd be more effective if you reviewed an album that isn't already present on the site or had a significantly differing stance and understanding of the album that you could use to flesh out the community's understanding of the album.
Album Rating: 5.0mr. precision hasnt been in rise against since the unraveling, todd mohney does the guitar on this album, not mr. precision, whose actual name, i beleive was dan. No offense, but i didnt like your review, mostly because i found this album to be absolutely perfect and very easily a classic. i would most definitaly agree if it was for a band that deserved that kind of rating, but your style is good, just make the reviews longer, it helps.
Album Rating: 4.5You messed up the names of a lot of people. And I don't agree with a single thing you say, basically. Where are these blazing solos you speak of? Also, saying that the hardcore tracks are stupid - wtf, son, they're a melodic HARDCORE band. Also for your comment on slow songs - acoustic songs =/= slow songs. "Like the Angel" is a really slow song, for example. So are "Heaven Knows", "Amber Changing" and "Torches" in the verses. And how is the tempo not different from song to song? Seriously - LISTEN to the album more than once before reviewing.
Also: their name before Rise Against was Transistor Revolt.This Message Edited On 03.08.06
fatpete, thou hast spaketh the truth!
Album Rating: 3.5Yeah, that review did suck pretty bad. I'm just about to go out to HMV and buy a P.O.D. CD to review (Satellite). I didn't really put much effort into this anyway and I was just trying something new on this review.
And I got all that information about the band off of Wikipedia, so I didn't know the timeline for the band since I couldn't find their info on riseagainst.com.
Sorry for wasting your time, but I just wanted to state my opinion.
P.S. Does anyone know how to contact mx. Sorry, I'm pretty new to this site and I need to ask him a few things about my profile.This Message Edited On 03.08.06This Message Edited On 03.08.06
Album Rating: 4.5It's right there in the inlay of the CD, the info. And if you don't have the CD, I pretty much think you shouldn't bother reviewing the album, unless you've really formed a solid opinion about it despite not owning it. Which, in this case, you hadn't.
But w/e, we still need people reviewing albums, and you'll gt better with time. At least your spelling doesn't suck
Great album, all the songs are so fucking awesome
Album Rating: 4.0ehhhh review. Rise Against need a fantastic review to give them the respect they deserve.
Album Rating: 5.0Anybody knew of Tim as vocals in the very early versons of Fall Out Boy?
But the song is a Journey cover, "Anyway You Want It"
Album Rating: 5.0your opinion of the bass line in black masks and gasoline is shit.
your obviously a guitarist who doesnt apreciate other instruments and your one of the reasons bass players are fucked every where they turn
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offnot a bad review, couldve gone into more detail about some of the tracks. i guess it doesnt help that i dont agree with you on a number of points. i cant believe you dont like the bass parts on this album!
Album Rating: 3.5[quote=emocorepunkboy]your opinion of the bass line in black masks and gasoline is ****.
your obviously a guitarist who doesnt apreciate other instruments and your one of the reasons bass players are ****ed every where they turn[/quote]
Easy buddy. Easy. It's just my opinion, and mine only. It's okay to disagree with me, but don't flame about it. I just didn't like the way the music was cut off by the bass. If you ask me, the bass in Drones off The Sufferer and The Witness was a better example of how bass should be used.
And since when have bass players been "****ed everywhere they turn?"
Album Rating: 3.5Well, it isn't. You should still check out The Sufferer and The Witness though.

For whatever the protestations laid against it by many with a long-term involvement, the British underground metal scene, the birthplace of countless great acts down the years, has in recent times been the bearer of some great fruit, notably on the black metal side of the fence. No longer content with merely aping the works of our northern Nordic cousins, it seems the tide is turning towards the creation of atmospherically rich, ambient infused black metal within which Winterfylleth, Wodensthrone and Altar of Plagues are among the leaders and in a delicious perk of the job, I've been given all three to review - first in the spotlight, Manchester residents Winterfylleth...
Thanks to a recent appearance on the cover of the esteemed Zero Tolerance magazine and a last minute addition to the Bloodstock bill, Winterfylleth have seen themselves become the focal point for the UK black metal movement. With an image stripped to it's core essence, that is devoid of the clichéd BM corpsepaint, spikes, leather, pseudonyms and even long hair, all that is left to judge the band on is their wonderfully rich and organic, Drudkh-influenced tomes, which on second album "The Mercian Sphere" has reached superlative levels of beauty and majesty, right across their expansive plains of heathenish black metal, clean vocal verses and acoustic ambience. Big words indeed, but one listen to opening track "Gateway To The Dark Peak / The Solitary One Waits For Grace (The Wayfarer Pt I)" will reveal all of this to be true as the reverberating vocals of C. Naughton gracefully morph into some of the most heroically proud clean chanting I've yet heard come from a metal band. "Awakens He, Bereft Of Kinsmen (The Wayfarer Pt II)" continues in a similar, albeit more relaxed vein; "The Fields Of Reckoning" is stunning and uplifting despite it's sonic extremity, while "The Ruin", "When The Woods Were Young" and "The Honour Of Good Men On The Path To Eternal Glory" all realise the acoustic and ambient air that breathes throughout. Underneath the band's innate ability to vary these feelings and moods is however the stellar performance of the harsh black metal core; most akin to recent legends Drudkh and Negura Bugnet it also recalls older Enslaved and Ulver while maintaining an audible and approachable feel. If honesty had a sound, this would be it.
The band's lyrical themes are worthy of examination too. Espousing the mundane fictional Satanism of 'true' BM Winterfylleth have ironically found themselves sounding more 'true' than most by pursuing a path close to their hearts - English Heritage, with an aim to bring awareness to England's historical stories folklore, landscapes and ancestral past. It's intelligent and well-researched and worthy of backing the nobility and bravery that has been weaved into the structure of each song.
If this were the only great blackened/folkified album coming out of Britain this year it would still be a year to remember, but to have serious competition in the form of Wodensthrone is great for the health of the scene. Metal needs bands and albums like this, in an age where the true essence of the genre is slowly washed out with polished productions and copycat acts, Winterfylleth have made a great mark on "The Mercian Sphere" that is worthy of being lauded amongst the greats of this particular corner of black metal.
Originally written for www.Rockfreaks.net
British black metal is boasting a wealth of talent these days. The likes of Winterfylleth and Wodensthrone may be relatively new names on the global scene but they've been doing the rounds for years within the United Kingdom, steadily growing in fan base and reputation. 'The Ghost of Heritage', the Manchester based bands full-length debut, was an instant hit, particularly with followers of the black metal scene from within the United Kingdom. Bands like Winterfylleth, along with acts such as Iceni, Lyrinx and Wodensthrone tirelessly work on the live circuit within the British isles promoting their work and only now are they reaping the rewards that their efforts deserve. Winterfylleth have been shown great faith by heavyweight record labels such as Profound Lore and now Candlelight Records but they've always repaid the favour with stellar full-length albums.
First in the form of their Pagan-inspired debut, 'The Ghost of Heritage' and now with their sophomore follow-up, the very successful 'The Mercian Sphere', another tribute to Anglo-Saxon heritage and worship of bands like Drudkh and Ulver, two global brands of atmospheric black metal in a similar vein. Winterfylleth's style hasn't altered much from the first album which saw a Pagan brand of black metal being executed well. The album opens with 'Gateway to the Dark Peak/The Solitary One Waits for Grace (The Wayfarer Pt I)', a song which makes great use of Winterfylleth's ability to use harmonised backing vocals, as well as a strong lead vocalist. The use of clean backing vocals occurs occasionally during the course of the album, something which adds a lot to the intensity of the atmosphere, as well as offering a more diverse sound to the band than acts like Drudkh perhaps don't wish to explore. Although both bands are masters at creating memorable riffs, albeit Winterfylleth have a much catchier sound to their guitar work, as shown wonderfully on songs like 'Defending The Realm'.
The acoustics, as well as the clean vocals, is also a ploy used on the part of the band to emphasis the folksy vibe in the atmosphere, a theme which was also explored on the debut, though with much less clarity. The production feels somewhat altered. It feels cleaner and clearer, leaving the listener with a much more satisfactory basis with which to analyse the music from. The production is still very bombastic in sound, highlighting the drumming and guitar work particularly well. The cleaner sound, despite the use of heavy double bass work and distorted guitar effects, allows the material to become far more comprehensible than on the previous album which took some getting used to due to the heavy style. The lighter moments, as on all three parts of the trilogy of songs on the album, are exemplary of how Winterfylleth cleverly work aspects like cleanly chanted vocals into the heavy atmospherics.
The glorious folk and Pagan mixture is wonderful and not too "flowery", like some black/folk bands can make a habit of coming across as. When Winterfylleth do hammer their folksy roots, these aspects are done beautifully and tastefully in the form of Ulver-inspired songs like 'Children of the Stones', an acoustic and string based instrumental which clearly highlights the bands creative and diverse range of talents. The song writing hasn't vastly improved, but it didn't need to. It has made some headway as far as allowing the cleaner aspects to have more of an impact, but these elements remain infrequent and sparse. The bombastic, atmospheric black metal moments akin to acts like Drudkh, in particular Drudkh's style of repetitious but hypnotic guitar work (as featured on songs like 'Defending The Realm' and 'The Ruin' in particular). The vocal approach is still very much the same.
Occasionally decipherable rasps that match the intensity of the instrumentation. They work side-by-side with the instrumentation to create an epic barrier in each of the songs, bar the quaint instrumental. Although I still very much love the debut, this sophomore feels far more "epic", a word which has become more frequently associated with the British legions of black metal bands, such as Winterfylleth and Wodensthrone in particular, due to their association with folkish and Pagan inspired themes. Winterfylleth have had to be a bit more creative, and selective, with their work on this album because this sophomore does feature a number of longer songs ranging between seven minutes and two ten minute epics. Songs like this require a lot of patience as the build-up is generally quite slow, albeit very interesting and intriguing due to the use of acoustics on songs like 'The Honour of Good Men On the Path to Eternal Glory'. All in all, this is a marvellous follow-up to a solid debut and with the continuance of such work, it's only a matter of time before Winterfylleth find themselves conquering the atmospheric black metal world.
In recent years Britain has seen a wealth of very impressive artists rearing their heads from its rather stagnant black metal scene. These artists have renewed the vigour of Britain's metal scene and, with their longing for a time long past, perhaps renewed the strength of those Britons proud of their heritage. Among these bands is the band in question here. Winterfylleth are a band for whom heritage and the preservation of such is very important and this comes across through their chosen genre, a rather Pagan-styled black metal, and their lyrics.
'The Mercian Sphere' is the follow up to Winterfylleth's excellent debut album 'The Ghost of Heritage', released in 2008, and it is most certainly a worthy successor. This time around the songs are often longer and sometimes far more diverse in sound. While a pounding yet melodic black metal base is certainly still in place there are various interesting ideas abound here. Take, for instance, the haunting and mystical folk/neofolk sounds of 'Children of the Stones' and 'When the Woods Were Young' which do far more than set an atmosphere. These songs are worthy folk songs by themselves. Wistful and beautiful with melodies that feel as though they could have come from a time long ago. Another deviation from the general black metal sound can be found in 'The Wayfarer Pt.3 – To Find Solace Where Security Stands'. The song moves from an intense black metal sound through various movements to an eventual epic and very stirring guitar section which reminds me a little of one of Winterfylleth's influences, the legendary British Anglo-Saxon metal band Forefather.
That is not to say that album does not contain a wealth of blasting black metal excellence, however, as many of the songs such as 'The Fields of Reckoning' and 'Gateway To the Dark Peak/The Wayfarer Pt.1 – The Solitary One Waits For Grace' are intense and reminiscent of black metal of bands such as Drudkh except with a somewhat more immediate sound.
A highlight of the album for me is the fantastic 'The Ruin' which moves from a very heavy and pummelling black metal introduction to a melancholic acoustic guitar section with the vocalist whispering his lyrics in a voice with an echo effect. This always sends shivers down my spine and represents, to me, the feel of walking through a ruined castle thinking about how it became so. The eventual movement back into a heavy and driving riff with the vocalist roaring the fantastic line 'Hence to reign hereafter... The Angle!' is very effective and a fantastic juxtaposition with the quiet midsection. The two epics of the album 'The Honour Of Good Men On The Path To Eternal Glory' and 'The Wayfarer Pt.3 - To Find Solace... Where Security Stands' are also highlights. Both of them being like ancient tapestries woven brilliantly from many different sounds. 'The Wayfarer Pt.3...' in particular is a fantastic conclusion to the 'The Wayfarer' trilogy with its epic guitar melodies and inspiring sound.
'The Mercian Sphere' is definitely one of the highlights of the music of 2010 so far for me. I would recommend the album to anyone looking for an inspiring ode to times long gone or, in fact, anyone who has an interest in the Pagan or nature-inspired spheres of the black metal genre. With bands like Winterfylleth, Iceni, Wodensthrone and Fyrdsman Britain seems set to reclaim its place as an important country for metal.
Along with their fellows Wodensthrone, Manchester's Winterfylleth represents one of the brightest hopes from the Old Country in terms of honoring their forebears with forceful, melodic reckoning sorrow delivered like a charge to battle. The young band's debut The Ghost of Heritage was a fresh record when it released two years ago, and the band seek to expand upon that and perhaps take advantage of their leap from Profound Lore to Candlelight Records. Armed with tales of warfare and pride, they've lined up nearly 70 minutes of newer material, with the exception of the newly revised "Defending the Realm", which has an additional minute tacked on.
The style is not exactly novel for a band with pagan intentions. Black metal rasps or hymnal cleans over riffs that are perhaps more melodic and atmospheric than the genre's occult/Satanist forefathers, and through the storming assaults the band will break for an acoustic piece with some whispered vocals, like the winds of olde that have carried their inspiration into the young minds (i.e. "Children of the Stones", which is somewhat haunting). I was quite surprised to find many of the longer, harder tracks not so fulfilling, like "Gateway to the Dark Peak/The Solitary One Waits for Grace (The Wayfarer Pt. I)" or "Awakens He, Bereft of Kinsmen (The Wayfarer Pt. II)". The album sounds excellent, and the band do not lack for dynamic ability, its merely a lack of truly inspiring riffs.
Once one delves further into the album's contents, though, they meet with more satisfactory results, like the glinting steel that shines beyond the rolling tones upon "The Fields of Reckoning", or the epic "The Honour of Good Men on the Path to Eternal Glory", which mixes a tasteful, substantial acoustic intro with some desperate, hard riding rhythms that descend one into the melancholy of more innocent times. Days when conquest and honor were acceptable mediums, before England and Europe began its descent into corporate cess and the inevitable identity crisis it now suffers. The other lengthy piece, "To Find Solace...Where Security Stands (The Wayfarer Pt. III)" is also quite worthy, never quite risking to bore the listener. I also enjoyed the sprightly acoustic "When the Woods Were Young" and the swollen glories of "A Valley Thick With Oaks".
I won't say I was thrilled with The Mercian Sphere, and in fact I was not as impressed as by their debut album, but this is hardly a letdown if you're seeking something inspired by more than the usual demons and goat sacrifices, and I'm always happy to see a group of men or women grasp their roots with fondness rather than forgetfulness. They can write, they can play, I just think they could write material a little more interesting than what we're given on the sophomore. Half the tracks are bloody good, but the remainder are just passable. A slight push in variance, a more complex twist in some of the thundering, melodic barrages, and they'll have a master's grasp on their rustic window to the past (and, if society continues to fall to pieces, their potential future).

One of the words we hear often when it comes to people and a particular responsibility or assignments is the word "trust." I remember my children often saying, "Don't you trust me?" when we were setting boundaries, limits on activity, or checking to see if their homework was completed. As parents, my wife and I often had to explain that it's not about trust but about training. The concept of trust, while important, is not as important as other things. Other things like training, equipping and generally gaining experience are the way people establish trust.
This concept and understanding of training and trusting is important in our churches and ministries. When we have important processes, tasks and responsibilities, it's best not to rely solely on trust. It's only through training that we can truly expect that important processes, tasks and responsibilities are executed properly. Training provides the appropriate knowledge transfer and an adequate period of time for the employee or volunteer to gain the experience needed to do their job properly.
No shortcut in training
While all jobs and assignments don't have the same complexity or skill level required, all require some measure of training. Personally, I rely on the three-step training process:
I do it
We do it together
You do it, I watch
I'm not sure exactly when I first heard about this model, but I have learned that not only does it work but it also can't be bypassed. This doesn't mean that as a pastor, I need to train every staff member and volunteer, but it does mean that everyone being trained needs to have someone that personally demonstrates, supports and then supervises in order to verify knowledge and skill have been transferred.
Trusting is not a substitute for training
When we hear someone use the words "trust," one of the things we can do is try to discover if the word trust is being used as a substitute for training. All too often we press new employees and volunteers into the job without adequate training. Most of us have experienced inadequately trained employees and volunteers from receptionists to preachers. When this happens, these newer and inadequately trained appear to be less "trust-worthy" when it really isn't a matter of trust but a matter of training.
Trusting should not be a substitute for training. Trust is earned and developed through very intentional orientation and training processes that transfer knowledge and experience. The three-step training process: "I do it; we do it together, you do it, I watch" is a great and necessary part of developing trust.

Six Australian companies competed today for the best start-up at The Australian Innovation Shoot Out event this morning in Menlo Park, Calif. I was on hand to moderate and was impressed with the quality of the six finalists.
The event, sponsored by the Australian government, was the culmination of a filtering process by Australia's six states, each of which offered the best start-up in tech from its region.
Impedimed, headed by chief executive Greg Brown from Queensland, walked away the winner. The company makes a medical device that tests whether breast cancer survivors are developing a condition known as lymphedema, which causes the a person's limbs to gather fluid and swell. The company uses technology dubbed bioimpedance spectroscopy for use in non-invasive tests of body fluid levels.
Brown said in his short pitch that the company is focusing on creating devices that can test for the condition and offer warnings four to six months earlier than other methods. The FDA-cleared device has a potentially big market, since a quarter of the 2.3 million breast cancer survivors develop some form of lymphedema. The tests cost $25 to $45 each and patients have to come back repeatedly for tests over a period of time, giving the company predictable revenue. The tests can also be applied to those who suffer from pelvic cancer.
Here's a look at the other finalists:
E Ball Games of Melbourne, Victoria sets up booths at festivals, malls or sporting events where fans can get the feeling for what it's like to, say, kick a soccer ball on a professional field. It uses infrared detectors to measure the movements of the person and displays the results of kicks and strokes on a big screen. You can see the results in real time since there's very little delay (just 27 millionths of a second) compared to systems from rivals such as Real Sports, Full Swing Golf or World Golf Tour. Justin Pascoe, chief executive, said the company is going after the $62 billion sports marketing market in the U.S., United Kingdom and Australia. The company is targeting about $8.7 million in revenue this year and hopes to hit $25 million next year. It also hopes to be profitable in 2010. To date, it has raised $1.6 milion from Angels Capital and others and is seeking $1.1 million.
JadeLiquid Software of Tasmania makes a testing product called LiquidTest. It performs automated tests on applications designed to run in web browsers. It is targeting programmers who debug web applications. It has been making software testing products for the past seven years. LiquidTest can be used to test software in multiple programming languages and languages. Licenses for the software cost $995 per user. Market researcher Gartner estimates the market for software testing worldwide is $13 bilion. Customers include EDS, IBM, Cisco and Oracle, among others, said Duncan Thomas, vice president of sales.
m.Net of Adelaide in South Australia creates mobile marketing campaigns for big brands so they can easily roll out advertising and marketing programs across thousands of cell phones. The company makes it easy to run videos, create mobile coupons, and contact pages for mobile ads. It is seven years old and has 40 employees. It has signed up big brands such as Yahoo, Telstra, Fox Sports, Warner Bros. Australia, and American Express. The campaigns, such as one created for Telstra that ran during the Olympics, can run on 6,500 mobile handsets. It generated $8 million in Australian dollars in 2008 and is currently cash-flow positive, said Horden Wiltshire, CEO. He predicts it will be profitable in 2011.
Nuix of New South Wales has algorithms that let it search rapidly through a host of information. It has used that technology to create software that automatically searches through emails and other documents for legal discovery and investigation purposes. The company says it can cut the cost of invetsigations by more than 80 percent because it can quickly search through emails in any language, character set, or document type. Eddie Sheehy, CEO, claims it is 40 percent faster than other solutions on the market. It provides the software in unlimited numbers to law firms who pay a percentage of their billing fees to Nuix. Analyst Sacha Gelbmann estimates the e-discovery market was $2.8 billion in 2007.
Sensear of Western Australia has created technology that filters out noise and allows people talking on cell phones and two-way radios to hear each other in the noisiest environments. The company is zeroing on providing solutions for people working in mines, construction zones, and other noisy work places. It has revenues now and is seeking to raise about $5 million, said Justin Miller, CEO. Its competitors include Audible and Jawbone, but those companies don't focus on Sensear's markets. Other rivals include Bose, Steplab, and Nacre. For 2009, it's forecasting $5 million in revenue. It has raised $5 million in funding from the Australian government and angel investors so far. It targets occupational safety experts in major corporations.
Judges of today's Shootout were Deborah Magid, director of software strategy at the IBM Venture Capital Group, Harold Yu, a partner at the law firm Orrick, and Mark Fernandes, managing director of Sierra Ventures.

Now in his seventh year in the Supreme Court, Verma has made a mark with his high turnover of verdicts, including the one on Ayodhya. Also, he has contributed significantly towards making the judiciary stronger than ever before. In the judges' case, Verma provoked a major controversy by "ousting" the role of the Government in the selection of judges.
Regarding Parliament's move to impeach Justice V. Ramaswami in 1993, he ruled that the apex court could review the matter even after the House had put the motion to vote. Yet, in the case of Justice K. Veer a swami, he gave a dissenting opinion - that the existing Prevention of Corruption Act could not be applied to judges as it provided scope for executive interference
In the wake of growing corruption charges against the judiciary in the '90s, Verma, at the instance of the earlier chief justice, M.N. Venkatachaliah, drafted a model code of conduct for judges. But the code has not been brought into force following reservations expressed by present Chief Justice A.M. Ahmadi.
One of Verma's most cited verdicts is the Shrilekha Vidyarthi vs State of Uttar Pradesh, where he ruled that the Government's arbitrary violation of a contract was a transgression of the fundamental rights of the citizens concerned. In the Neelabati Behra case, Verma, for the first time, laid down the legal principle on which a compensation could be given to any affected citizen.
His recent Hindutva verdict, however, embroiled him in a controversy, with several commentators insinuating that he was being soft on the saffron brigade. But then, two years ago, he had exonerated former Maharashtra chief minister Sharad Pawar in an election dispute much the same way he let off his successor Manohar Joshi, with a rebuke for having said reprehensible things in campaign speeches. Verma also lifted a ban on the right-wing Muslim group Jamiat-e-Islami Hind by not relying solely on intelligence reports, a reason similar to the one for which Joshi got the benefit of the doubt.
Now, as Verma cracks the whip on the CBI in the nation's biggest political scandal, the sincerity and the tenacity of the judge who made his mark as a judge in the Madhya Pradesh High Court is contested by few. Certainly not by the tainted politicians, a majority of whom, ironically, belong to Verma's home state.

Levi Westerlund made his first career start at Lubbock Christian University a good one.
Westerlund threw a one-hit shutout to lead LCU past Oklahoma Panhandle State 2-0 at Hays Field, completing a three-game Heartland Conference series sweep in which Chaparrals pitching allowed five runs.
On a day that was 41 degrees at game with an 18-mph north wind, Westerlund (1-0) needed only 84 pitches to go nine innings. Samuel Moreno was the only player to reach base against him, with a two-out single in the first inning and by error in the fourth.
Westerlund, a 6-foot-5 righthander from Oyen, Alberta, did not allow a hit to the final 26 batters and retired the last 17. The junior spent his first two years at Midland College.
Westerlund's gem is the first nine-inning one-hitter by an LCU pitcher since at least the 2004 season, according to athletic department research. Jarret Porter threw the last one-hitter in a seven-inning shutout last March against Mid-America Christian.
LCU (14-7, 8-1) got its two runs in the second inning. Joel Lutz doubled and scored on a Hunter McFall groundout. Stephen Withrow singled two batters later, and right fielder Jacob Milburn's throw in got away, allowing Brett Kauten to score.
Pitcher Dylan Chavez (1-2) also threw a complete game for the Aggies (5-16, 0-8). He allowed one earned run on six hits.

■ LCU softball
Morgan Colburn hit a three-run homer in the first inning and Lubbock Christian University went on to beat Newman 15-2 Saturday at PlainsCapital Park, sweeping the three-game Heartland Conference softball series.
Mallory Koschany, Frenship graduate Ashton Bell, Jessica Loiacano and Coronado graduate Katlin Reed drove in two runs apiece for LCU (23-3, 6-3).
The Lady Chaparrals have won 15 games in a row and are 20-0 at home this season.
LCU scored four runs in the first inning and eight in the second, making it easy for starting pitcher Katera Eltsosie (11-2), who allowed two runs on six hits. She pitched the first four innings and Lauren Hardin worked a scoreless fifth before the game was stopped by run rule.
The day before, LCU beat Newman 14-3 and 14-9 with Loiacano and Megan Sullivan hitting three home runs apiece in the doubleheader.
The two teams combined for 11 home runs in the second game, the Lady Chaps slugging a program-record eight. Loiacano tied program records with three home runs and 12 total bases in one game, and Bell tied a record with four hits.
Newman led 4-0 after a half inning, but Bell, Sullivan and Loiacano homered in the bottom of the first. The Jets extended the lead to 7-3, but the Lady Chaps answered with a six-run third featuring Loiacano's second homer, a Diana De La Paz RBI single, Reed's two-run double and Bell's two-run homer that made it 9-7.
Mallory Koschany, Sullivan and Loiacano all homered in a five-run fifth, making the score 14-7.

Supreme Court rules military can keep protesters away from bases
By DAVID G. SAVAGE | Los Angeles Times | Published: February 26, 2014
WASHINGTON — Setting aside for now a First Amendment claim, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that military commanders have broad property rights to keep protesters off their bases, including the public roads that pass through them.
The unanimous decision upholds the prosecution of a veteran peace activist from Santa Barbara, Calif., who repeatedly returned to protest on a highway outside the main gate of Vandenberg Air Force Base even after he had been ordered to stay away.
In 2003, John Dennis Apel was barred from Vandenberg after he threw blood on a base sign. But he returned repeatedly in later years to stage anti-war demonstrations in a designated protest zone along Highway 1.
Officers warned him he was violating the order to stay away, and in 2010 he was prosecuted for violating the order. A magistrate convicted him of trespassing and ordered him to pay $355 in fines and fees.
He appealed and won a reversal from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which held that the military did not have "exclusive possession" of the public roads and protest areas near the base.
The Supreme Court reversed that decision Wednesday, but without delving into Apel's free-speech claim.
Writing for the court, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said the authority of a base commander "reaches all property within the defined boundaries of a military place.... Those limits do not change when the commander invites the public to use a portion of the base for a road, a school, a bus stop or a protest area, especially when the commander reserves authority to protect military property by, among other things, excluding vandals and trespassers."
He noted that because the Supreme Court had not dealt with the First Amendment issue in the case, Apel was free to raise that point in a further appeal to the 9th Circuit.
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor agreed with the decision but added that they thought "it is questionable whether Apel's ouster from the protest area can withstand constitutional review."
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote a separate statement to fault Ginsburg for voicing a view on an issue that was not part of the case.
