Jays win wild one over Yankees
Rios' sac fly breaks tie after errors cost Toronto in eighth
By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com
Hill was quick to point out, though, that his dash toward the dish wasn't the finishing touch on the Blue Jays' 3-2 victory over the rival Yankees. Instead, Hill praised the decisive blow that was delivered by Toronto right fielder Alex Rios -- a sacrifice fly an inning later that put the Jays ahead for good.
"There's nothing boring about that. That's beautiful baseball," Hill said. "Rios coming in, hitting a pitch at his head, and getting it far enough out there to get an RBI, that's baseball right there. That was the perfect way to end the ballgame."
Hill's straight steal of home and Rios' run-scoring sac fly were just two examples of Toronto finding ways to create runs against stingy Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte (3-4). The veteran southpaw entered the game with a 2.66 ERA and continued that success over 7 1/3 innings for New York, which has now lost five games in a row.
The only issue for Pettitte was the way the Blue Jays (24-27) took advantage of their few scoring opportunities. Toronto stole two bases off the left-hander, used two sacrifice bunts to advance runners, and none of its three runs against Pettitte scored on base hits.
"I didn't think that you could lose an American League ballgame like that," said Pettitte, who allowed just one earned run. "It was a little unconventional I'd say tonight, but you've got to tip your hat to them. They won the game and did a great job of figuring out a way to win."
That began in the first inning, when Rios led off with an infield single and promptly advanced to second base on an error by New York shortstop Derek Jeter. During Toronto's pregame hitters meeting, third-base coach Brian Butterfield discussed potentially running against Pettitte.
Rios converted the first of the two Jays' stolen bases -- easily swiping third base during the opening frame. He then scored on a groundout to third by Toronto center fielder Vernon Wells that put the Jays ahead, 1-0.
"Every series, you try to prepare for anything that might happen," Butterfield said. "Our team has great respect for Andy. He has been a great pitcher and is still a great pitcher. Sometimes you have trouble scoring runs with the bats, and you try to have an alternative plan in some situations."
In a game where Toronto starter Shaun Marcum was keeping pace with Pettitte, the Jays had to rely on manufacturing runs. Marcum, who earned his third no-decision in four starts for Toronto, gave up no runs and just two hits in six innings. With five left-handed hitters due up for the Yankees (21-29) in the seventh, though, Jays manager John Gibbons turned to left-hander Scott Downs.
After New York slugger Jason Giambi belted a seventh-inning solo homer off Downs to knot the score at 1, the type of scenario Butterfield discussed with the hitters arose during the home half of the frame. A throwing error by New York third baseman Alex Rodriguez allowed Jason Phillips and Hill to advance to first and third base, repectively, with one out.
With Royce Clayton standing in the batter's box, blocking catcher Jorge Posada's view of Hill, the Jays' second baseman bolted for the plate on a 1-1 count. Pettitte, who initially thought he balked, stepped off the pitching rubber, and couldn't relay the ball to Posada in time to tag the sliding Hill.
It marked the first time that a Toronto player swiped home since Shea Hillenbrand accomplished the feat against the Yankees on Aug. 6, 2005. Hill's stolen base also represented the team's first straight steal of home since April 17, 2001, when Raul Mondesi stole home -- also against New York.
"We mentioned that if a situation came up, a guy on third, obviously [Pettitte] has his back to us," Hill said. "It was just the right place at the right time, I guess. [Butterfield] told me, 'If we get to a 1-1 count, we're going to go ahead and try it.' I started to get a little nervous and then I was like, 'All right, let's go.' Luckily, it worked out."
Not for long, though.
The Yankees took advantage of two Blue Jays errors in the eighth and tied the contest again -- this time on an RBI single by Posada off right-hander Casey Janssen. After Posada's hit, Gibbons turned to reliever Jeremy Accardo (1-0), who silenced New York the rest of the way, allowing Rios' sac fly to hold up as the game-winner.
"It was a good, pure baseball game," Gibbons said. "There's times you have to manufacture runs, get guys over and get them in, that kind of thing. It wasn't an easy game, but it was an exciting game."

WASHINGTON — Experimenting with flavors, flexibility and variety are ways different confectionery makers are driving innovation in the market, according to the National Confectioners Association's latest Confectionery Industry Trend Report.
"Insight from the confectionery industry's leading influentials provides an appetizing future for consumers and the industry alike," said Larry Graham, president of the N.C.A. "Chocolate and confections are treats consumers can count on to be affordable luxuries. Our industry provides people with new choices, new experiences and old favorites that provide moments of happiness to be enjoyed any time."
According to the N.C.A., the next big trend in confections will be healthier confectionery options as there is a growing demand for health benefits and better-for-you ingredients. Portion-controlled treats and the potential heart-health benefits of higher cacao content in chocolate already have become popular with consumers. In fact 35% of industry leaders said portion control was a leading category influencer and 25% said fortified products with added vitamins, minerals or protein were a top influence. In addition, 45% of industry experts said there is an emerging trend toward healthier chocolate options.
Chocolate also will be one of the largest drivers of growth in the category, and it will appear more frequently as a key ingredient in main courses such as salmon, chicken and steak. The emphasis on versatility also will mean more of an emphasis on global influences and flavor pairings.
"From its potential health benefits to its organic roots and inclusion as an ingredient in many types of sweet and savory foods, we have only begun to experience the versatility of chocolate," said Susan Smith, senior vice-president of N.C.A.'s chocolate council.
In addition, consumers will become more knowledgeable about the origin of their chocolate. Most in the industry believe Europe will be the origin for international confectionery trends now and in the coming years with Japan set to be an emerging influence as well.

What George Washington Heard
As Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's birth, it's safe to say that the most familiar figure connected with that birth is George Washington. Although he didn't actually sign the Declaration of Independence—he had been in New York since March, commanding the Continental troops there—his image is more completely bound up with the revolution and its success than any of America's other patriarchs.
Whether known as the "Father of his Country," the "Atlas of America," the "Sage of Mount Vernon" or just the "Old Fox," Washington has always been a figure of mythic proportions, and during his lifetime he was venerated practically as a living saint by many citizens of the new republic.
True, at 6-foot-2 he really did stand taller than most men of his time, and his repeated escapes from death in battle contributed to his somewhat divine aura. But despite the sentimental hagiography of Parson Weems, whose best-seller "The Life of Washington" (1800) fairly reduced his subject's career to a series of Aesop-like fables, Washington was a very human being, however formally he conducted himself in public. As his biographer Joseph Ellis notes, Washington cultivated his exceptional self-control to compensate for his weaknesses, among them a fiery temper and a passionate love for Sally Fairfax, the wife of a friend.
Perhaps Washington's most endearing and least familiar weakness, however, was for music, theater and dancing. Unlike his secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, a talented amateur violinist, Washington wasn't a musician himself. But he took great pleasure in musical and theatrical events—both of which were closely intertwined in 18th-century America—and from early adulthood eagerly attended performances at theaters in Fredericksburg and Williamsburg, Va.
Throughout his life, Washington attended concerts wherever he traveled. During the American Revolution, while spending a night in Bethlehem, Pa., he enjoyed a concert of chamber music, and on a subsequent visit there in 1782, we read of his being serenaded, to his great pleasure, by a Moravian trombone choir.
Meanwhile, Washington was always eager to pay ready money for good music. In 1757, Philadelphia enjoyed its first two public concerts. For the second of these, then-Lt. Col. Washington purchased a block of tickets costing 52 shillings and six pence, or £2 12s 6d, a considerable outlay at a time when a teacher might earn an annual salary of £60. On another occasion, in 1787, now-Gen. Washington gave a dinner in Philadelphia for which he engaged a nine-piece orchestra to perform, this time paying £7 10s for the pleasure—no mean sum either.
Among his friends was the Philadelphia lawyer Francis Hopkinson, a talented amateur poet and musician who also designed several issues of Continental currency and did sign the Declaration of Independence. Acknowledged as the first native-born American composer, Hopkinson dedicated a set of "Seven Songs for the Harpischord or Forte Piano" to Washington in 1788.
Not surprisingly, musical performances in the newborn nation were often connected with major current events. Thus shortly after America's victory, in 1781, we find Washington in the audience at the "hotel of the Minister of France" (i.e., the French Embassy) in Philadelphia to enjoy the celebratory premiere of "The Temple of Minerva, America Independent, an oratorical entertainment," another Hopkinson opus. Similarly, in May 1787, four days after the opening of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Washington notes in his diary that he "accompanied Mrs. Morris to the benefit concert of a Mr. Juhan." The program, divided into three "acts," included overtures by Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny, William Shield and Padre Giovanni Battista Martini (who had given lessons to the young Mozart in Bologna). There was also a "Sonato Piano Forte" [sic] by the English-born Alexander Reinagle, one of America's leading musicians of the day.
Reinagle, who had been a close friend of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in Europe, had settled in Philadelphia while it was the nation's capital and was engaged by President Washington as music master to his step-granddaughter, Nelly Custis, providing a noteworthy, if indirect, connection between the Father of his Country and the son of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Apart from attending public performances, Washington also relished listening to music- making at home, and not only Nelly but Washington's stepchildren and step-grandchildren were offered a musical education befitting the landed gentry. A small household collection of music books is still preserved at Washington's beloved Mount Vernon, along with Nelly's harpsichord, which Washington bought for her.
In addition, various eyewitness accounts of Washington on the dance floor reveal a side far removed from the starchy image on currency and canvas. Most notable is the account by his step-grandson George Washington Parke Custis of a ball held a few weeks after the conclusion of the American Revolution: "The minuet was much in vogue at that period," writes Custis, "and was peculiarly calculated for the display of the splendid figure of the chief, and his natural grace and elegance of air and manners. . . . As the evening advanced, the commander-in-chief, yielding to the general gaiety of the scene, went down some dozen couples in the contre-dance with great spirit and satisfaction."
Throughout his life, Washington enjoyed the balls and "assemblies" that were a popular entertainment in 18th-century America. One of his final letters in 1799 is a poignant response to an invitation to the managers of the Alexandria Assembly in Virginia: "Mrs. Washington and myself have been honored with your polite invitation to the assemblies of Alexandria this winter, and thank you for this mark of your attention. But, alas! our dancing days are no more."
Though at age 67 Washington was still relatively vigorous, he caught a cold while riding five hours through a snowstorm on Dec. 12 of that year. Two days later the "American Cincinnatus" died, and to the raft of musical compositions already written saluting his military and presidential accomplishments was added another repertoire of dirges, elegies, odes and marches lamenting his passing. The first, Benjamin Carr's dignified "Dead March and Monody for General Washington" was ready for performance in Philadelphia a mere 12 days later, with musical offerings continuing to appear up and down the Eastern seaboard throughout the winter of 1800.
The music-loving "Sword of the Revolution" probably would have enjoyed listening to them.

Atomic clock accuracy boosted
Post a comment
PORTLAND, Ore. A strontium-based timekeeper providing up to 50 percent better accuracy could serve as the next-generation atomic clock.
By controlling collisions between neutral strontium atoms, the new atomic clock is said to be accurate to within one second in 300 million years, according to its inventor, Jun Ye of a joint institute formed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Standard atomic clocks are based on microwave frequency carriers, but the next-generation candidates for the new standard atomic clock will operate at higher optical frequencies in order to gain accuracy.
Atomic clocks based on clouds of cold atoms--cesium in the current standard--are confined by laser beams directed at right angles to each other to push atoms together. This method cools atoms to near absolute zero.
For the cesium standard, vertical lasers toss the atoms upward into a microwave cavity where they are then turned off. The cesium atoms then fall back to the bottom of the cavity and the process repeats itself at precisly one second intervals to attain an accuracy of +/-1 second every 80 million years.
Last year, a quantum clock that looses or gains 1 second every 1 billion years was demonstrated by NIST scientist Till Rosenband, who cooled aluminum atoms with the laser. However, the aluminum atoms could not be directly synchronized. Instead, a more complex scheme coupled the quantum states of the aluminum ions with a nearby beryllium atoms, synchronizing a laser to its vibration frequency to achieve an indirect optical clock with the accuracy of aluminum ions' natural vibrational mode.
The new strontium approach needs no indirect measurements.
The Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (Paris) will decide which of several candidates becomes the new standard.
Ye's improved strontium-based clock uses fermions, in contrast to bosons, which are thought to occupy only a single quantum state and location at a given time, thus forbidding collisions. Ye's research group observed what appeared to be occasional collisions that disturbed their clock's performance.
To solve the mystery of why fermions were having seemingly forbidden collisions, Ye used lasers to cool 2,000 strontium atoms stacked in levels of optical traps, each with about 30 atoms per well. Detailed observations revealed that two atoms in the same well, but located some distance apart, were subjected to slight variations in laser pulses used to boost the atoms between energy levels, thus exciting them unevenly and enabling collisions.
The scientists also discovered that by exciting the atoms to about halfway between their ground and excited states, the collision-related shifts in the clock frequencies could be zeroed out. By optimizing these adjustments, researchers were able to recduce the corrections needed to compensate for occasional collisions, thereby increasing clock accuracy.
The techniques can also be theoretically applied to atomic clocks based on bosons, which unlike fermions can exist in the same place and energy state and thus are subject to collisions. The new strontium lattice technique also could be useful in future quantum computers, according to Ye, as well as for increasing understanding of quantum phenomena like superconductivity.

The ruling Patriotic Front candidate in the Mufumbwe by-election has scooped the seat after gaining a wide lead before five polling stations were counted by 01 am on Friday.
Masumba defeated MMD's Stafford Mulusa after votes from well over 30 polling stations had given the PF candidate a comfortable lead.
Sources in the MMD campaign team also confirmed the defeat saying the PF breached the electoral code even on election day.
The MMD sources disclosed that they tallied the votes from all polling stations and indications were that Masumba had won.
Electoral Commission of Zambia officials will announce the final results this morning the PF had by the last count polled 7,299 while the MMD had 5,223 votes counted representing a margin of over 1500 ballots cast.
Masumba is expected to be declared winner. There are indications that the MMD will petition the election so that it could bring to the fore evidence of irregularities by the ruling party.

The Bloch Ballerinas conquer all!
Ballet shoes designed for the professionals in the industry, but not only... now the celebrities and their children. They have a long tradition dating back to 1932. We are talking about the dancing shoes of Bloch, born from the creativity of Jacob Bloch, shoemaker who emigrated from Eastern Europe in Autralia, passionate about ballet, who had the idea to develop ballet slippers that were practical and comfortable. His shoes immediately conquered the dancers of the most prestigious companies such as Sarah Lamb at the Royal Ballet in London, Polina Semionova the Staatsballet Berlin, Irina Dvorenvenko American Ballet Theatre and Agnes Letestu Paris Opera.
Think for women who love comfort but do not want to give up being fashionable, the Bloch ballet flats have rich colors and have an internal structure designed precisely to ensure comfort. We can say goodbye to sore heels or back to pieces.
Have already been seen at the feet of Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashlee Simpson, but also many moms VIP buy them both for them and for their daughters fashionistas! Among them Salma Hayek and little Valentina, Angelina Jolie and the adorable Vivienne, and of course Katie Holmes who has thus increased the amazing shoe collection of her daughter Suri!

Raptors forward Patrick Patterson hit a game-winning jumper with six seconds remaining to lift Toronto to a 104-103 road victory over Brooklyn after Nets guard Deron Williams threw away a late inbounds pass.
The Nets proved that the Knicks don't have a New York City monopoly on late-game meltdowns in this one, squandering a three-point lead in the game's final 17 seconds to lose at home.
Brooklyn's collapse came on the heels of a controversial charge call against Kyle Lowry in the game's final minute. Williams stepped in to draw the offensive foul in transition, leaving the Raptors bench irate at the officials because they felt Williams wasn't set. The call forced Toronto to foul on Brooklyn's next possession, and Paul Pierce hit a pair of free throws to put the Nets up 103-100 with 17 seconds to play.
John Salmons then got a quick basket to make the score 103-102 with 12 seconds left, and Nets coach Jason Kidd burned his final timeout to advance the ball and get his best free throw shooters into the game for another forced foul situation. Instead of inbounding the ball, taking the foul and reclaiming a three-point lead as expected, Williams tried to find Joe Johnson with a risky pass into the backcourt. Sensing the play develop, Patterson stepped in front for the intercepting steal and quickly moved the ball to Lowry, who sent it back to Patterson as the clock ticked down. After pausing to fake out Williams, Patterson rose calmly to sink a mid-range jumper.
The shot went through with six seconds on the clock, and a stunned Nets team scrambled to set up a final play. Kidd was stuck without any timeouts remaining and without the ability to spill soda on himself to delay the game (because he already played that card earlier this season), so Paul Pierce eventually brought the ball up in a somewhat frantic fashion. Pierce had to launch a desperation, last-second three-pointer that was no good, and Toronto secured its improbable comeback victory.
The Toronto Sun reported the celebratory reaction from the Raptors' locker room.
"Patrick looked like Richard Sherman out there with that steal," Lowry said, comparing Patterson to Sherman, the star Seattle Seahawks cornerback, who took at the game courtside.
"You know me, Richard Sherman, Ed Reed, we're all in the same category," laughed Patterson in a jubilant Raptors locker room.
Williams, meanwhile, was in a bummer mood afterwards, according to the New York Post.
"It's tough," said Williams after finishing with nine points and 11 assists. "It definitely hurts. The bad thing about it is we have three days to sit and think about it, so it's even worse.
"There's nothing I can do about it now … can't take it back. Wish I could. That's not my first time turning the ball over to lose the game, and it won't be the last. I've just got to respond on Friday [against Oklahoma City]."
Lowry finished with 31 points (on 10-for-18 shooting), seven assists, five rebounds and five steals to lead the Raptors. Patterson chipped in 15 points (on 6-for-11 shooting) and three rebounds.
Pierce led the Nets with a game-high 33 points (on 10-for-16 shooting), six rebounds and two assists. Andray Blatche added 20 points (on 8-for-11 shooting) and six rebounds off the bench in a losing effort.

Mark Mothersbaugh art on tour (from Paste)
From Paste:
Mark Mothersbaugh plans to tickle our fancies this spring, when he tours the United States showcasing his artwork. The art, which has doubled as Mothersbaugh's personal (and creative) method of diary-keeping, will travel to Berkley, Calif. and the windy city of Chicago in an exhibition entitled "The Postcard Diaries."
"Usually, the only way someone can get an original sketch is if I give it to them myself," Mothersbaugh said in a statement. "I've sent a few in the mail, and handed others out to friends and family. I've probably got around 30,000 of them filed away now…and I keep making more every day. The limited edition prints are my way of sharing these personal images with other people around the world."
If displaying his most personal memories to the universe wasn't enough, Mothersbaugh, along with the other lifetime members of Devo, has also been busy creating the soundtrack to your life, almost literally. The four men, along with a couple other composers, created the music for HBO's first season of Big Love, the theme to Pee-wee's Playhouse (seriously), and the soundtrack to the majority of Wes Anderson's films. (And that barely scratches the surface of the group's prevalence in pop-culture. Those Apple vs. PC ads? Them. Rugrats' music? You guessed it.)
Check out info about the opening party on Craigslist, and get ready to whip it good. (What? You knew we'd fit that in somewhere. Even if it doesn't make much sense, Mothersbaugh would surely approve.) And, if you're a true fan, you can always pick up a Red Energy Dome Hat to wear to the show here.

Adrien in India
"The Darjeeling Limited" has seen a country wide release in India since the last week of April. There have been a handful of mostly positive reviews for the film. Perhaps most of interest is a new-seeming interview with Adrien Brody in the Times of India. Great to see that he is still doing promotion for TDL.
Did you have any strange experiences or comic misadventure of your own?
AB: Yeah, I bought a motorcycle and I was there with my girlfriend and we were riding around a lot. I was passing a took-took, one of those little rickshaws, so I moved to the side, and there was a buffalo there. I jammed on the breaks and we skidded and I almost went head first into the rear end of this buffalo. I was laughing as I almost died because it was so absurd to me. I was thinking, 'This is going to be the way I'm going to be remembered.' All the hard work down the drain and this is it. I saw the headline instantly.

Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale hit an unbeaten century to ensure his side's LV County Championship fixture against Durham at Chester-le-Street ended in a draw.
The Tykes began the final day on 13-0 in their second innings, needing another 211 just to make Durham bat again.
Yorkshire were in trouble at 59-2 when Joe Root (28) fell lbw to Graham Onions (1-61) and Stephen Harmison (1-51) had Anthony McGrath caught behind for a seven-ball duck.
Adam Lyth and Gale steadied the ship with a 95-run, third-wicket stand either side of lunch.
Lyth (69) was stumped off spinner Ian Blackwell's bowling and Jonathan Bairstow (6) run out shortly afterwards to keep Durham in the hunt heading into the evening session.
But Gary Ballance joined Gale in an unbroken 120-run alliance for the fifth wicket to make the draw safe.
Gale brought up his second County Championship hundred of the season from 200 balls, including 15 fours.
He remained 101 not out when stumps were drawn, while Ballance was unbetean on 53.
Day three
Paul Collingwood's first Durham century for six years gave his side a chance of forcing victory against Yorkshire heading into the final day of their rain-affected fixture at Chester-le-Street.
Collingwood, who made six tons for the north-east county in the 2005 season before establishing himself in the England Test line-up, hit 108 from 157 balls as Durham reached 408-8 declared in response to Yorkshire's first-innings of 185.
Durham had slipped to 141-5 before Collingwood, Phil Mustard (70) and Scott Borthwick (67no) rode to the rescue, carving out a lead of 223 before the declaration came late on day three.
Yorkshire were there own worst enemies, dropping six chances in all, including Richard Pyrah at slip putting down Mustard first ball off the impressive Steven Patterson (3-82).
The Tykes were also not happy when umpire Tim Robinson changed his mind after giving out Mustard, lbw to Adil Rashid on 58, apparently realising that the Durham captain had edged the ball on to his pad.
Yorkshire openers Adam Lyth (4no) and Joe Root (4no) survived seven overs through to the close at 13-0 in their second innings.
Day two
Durham reduced Yorkshire for 170-9 on a second rain-hit day of play at the Emirates Durham ICG.
After day one ended a total washout, only 53 overs were bowled on the second day but that was still enough for the Division One leaders to take charge.
The visitors were in trouble straight away as opener Adam Lyth went for a duck, with Anthony McGrath soon following him after scoring just three.
Youngsters Joe Root (27) and Jonny Bairstow (38) steadied the ship somewhat, before rain and bad light halted play in the middle of the day.
After they had fallen, Adil Rashid took responsibility with a knock of 47 but his dismissal started a run of three wickets for four runs, with two of the scalps being claimed by Paul Collingwood.
Graham Onions finished the day with 3-66, while Collingwood and Steve Harmison each took two wickets.
Day one
No play was possible on the first day of the first division Championship match between leaders Durham and Yorkshire at Chester-le-Street.
Persistent rain throughout the day caused the umpires to abandon in mid-afternoon.
With five wins from eight games, Durham are 17 points clear at the top, while Yorkshire have not won since the opening match at Worcestershire and lie seventh with 62 points.

A Superior Court judge set bond Thursday for an Augusta lawyer and his former wife who were indicted this week on rape charges.
A bond of $50,000 was set for Joseph Neal Jr., while his Caroline Neal was given a $30,000 bond by Richmond County Superior Court Judge James Blanchard Jr. He also ordered them to avoid any contact with the victim and refrain from using social network sites on the Internet.
The Neals were indicted Tuesday on charges of rape and providing alcohol to a person younger than 21 in connection with a Dec. 16 incident at their Kings Way home.
Authorities allege the Neals had "carnal knowledge" of an 18-year-old woman against her will after plying her with alcohol and marijuana.
The lawyer, 43, who was arrested Tuesday, entered the courtroom in shackles and chains over a rumpled suit and tie. His ex-wife, 23, who returned to Augusta early Thursday from Greenville, S.C., was similarly shackled but dressed in the jumpsuit supplied to her by the Richmond County jail.
After a statement of charges, Assistant District Attorney Parks White described the events of Dec. 16.
He said the 18-year-old woman, referred to in court by initials, was invited over that evening by Caroline Neal to drink wine at her home on Kings Way. When the young woman arrived, she was surprised to see that Joseph Neal also was there, White said.
White said both Neals supplied the teenager with more than four or five glasses of wine and then persuaded her to go to the master bedroom to smoke marijuana on the upstairs balcony.
According to the district attorney, the teen became increasingly intoxicated and sent garbled text messages to her boyfriend. At some point, Joseph Neal suggested that he and his wife engage in a "threesome" with the teenager, White said. At 10:33 p.m., the young woman's boyfriend received a text message that read, according to White: "OMG … They are trying to make make me have a threesome. Help."
White went on to describe an encounter in which the girl objected to unwanted sexual advances and acts performed by Joseph Neal, and resulted in the intoxicated 18-year-old fleeing the home.
After the teen made a report to the sheriff's office Dec. 20, an investigator contacted Joseph Neal about the incident. White said the lawyer began deleting text messages from his phone and went over events with his then-wife to "get their story straight."
On Dec. 21, the Neals began arguing about the encounter with the teen and the police investigation, White said. That argument turned physical, resulting in Caroline Neal being arrested and charged with simple battery, accused of scratching and punching her husband. They were married for about seven months before divorcing in February.
White did not ask for a specific bond for the state. Blanchard initially set a bond of $50,000 for each defendant but reduced Caroline Neal's bond after a request from her attorney, Pete Theodocion, who said his client wasn't able to sign a property bond.
Theodocion told Blanchard his client should not be considered a threat to the community or a flight risk.
"We found out of her inclusion in this indictment in the comments section of The (Augusta) Chronicle," he said. "Within a day, she had hired an attorney and she had arranged to turn herself in at the jail, so she has shown that she can be responsible and meet her obligations."
Sam Caldwell, of Columbia, told Blanchard he would ensure that his daughter would return to court for future proceedings.
"I promise I will have her here for every event you need her for," Caldwell said.
Both defendants were released Thursday afternoon on bond from the Richmond County jail.

Melissa4 Stars Out Of 5You will be held captive by this bookMarch 27, 2014MelissaQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Like the title of this book you too will be held captive by this story.
I love how the book opens with Daniel 1:1, 3-5 where King Nebuchadnezzer takes all the strong young men from Jerusalem. This sets the stage for you are about to read.
Although this book is geared for teens I really enjoyed it. I would say if you have a teen in your life who likes the Hunger Games series they would enjoy this book but it's even better because God is part this plot.
A word of caution. There is talk about forced pregnancy because the Safe Lands are trying to rid themselves of this disease that is going around so they are trying to have babies that are born without being infected. However, there's nothing graphic or detail about how these girls are getting pregnant, I was not offended at all.
I always recommend reading a book before you allow your child or read it with them so you can have a conversation with him or her about the content and you can voice your thoughts in a healthy way.
The three brothers in the book were so different and Jill does a wonderful job of giving them each their own voice and personality.
I think you will enjoy this glimpse into a possible future that isn't so good but we are always looking for the same thing_.hope.
A copy of this book was given to me by the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers program in exchange for an honest review.
JennieManila, PhilippinesAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5My 8year old's Book Summary of CaptivesMarch 21, 2014JennieManila, PhilippinesAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5When I first started reading the book, I was quite confused about the story. There was a girl named Ciddah mentioned in the Prologue. Then as it shifted to the first chapter suddenly the story was about a boy named Mason. Then there was this talk about who's going to marry who. Then Mason's younger brother, Omar, was missing and probably went to the Safe Lands.
After a couple of weeks of not reading Captives, I went back to reading and actually started to appreciate the story. I like the part that Mason was hired as a Level 2 Medic of the Safe Lands. What made it exciting for me is anticipating the adventures of figuring out the cure of the virus which the oldest person in his tribe Papa Eli, calls the Great Pandemic. Majority of the people who live in the Safe Lands are infected by the Great Pandemic because of its virus which came through the water source of the Safe Lands.
The people of Glenrock, where Mason and his other friends live, usually when they are in trouble they pray to God. Sometimes in their minds, sometimes they whisper their prayers.
I love the mystery of the story of this book. If there will be an installment to this book, I will be looking forward to reading that too.
LalaAge: 18-24Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Looking Forward to Reading More!January 30, 2014LalaAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 3Meets Expectations: 4Captives is the first dystopian I have read and it won't be the last!
In the beginning it took me a little while to get into the story and wrap my mind around what was going on! Once I met the enforcers though everything changes and it took me on an adventure that I wasn't prepared for! The storyline and imagery was one of the most interesting I have read! The descriptions of the Safe Lands enthralled me concerning the jobs, styles, and technology! I was amazed at how the nationals lived, but so heartbroken for the women who lived in the harem (well really all of the nationals)! They are such a broken people underneath the pretty paint!
Concerning the Glenrock clan, I couldn't put the book down because of them and had to keep reading more to find out what would happen to these precious characters! I really liked how the author wrote from a few different perspectives because she changed them up enough that it gives you a full view of the situation they're in! Plus they all had different personalities that really brought the book together in a unique way (I don't even have a favorite character because I liked all of them except maybe Omar and Mia)!
One thing I will mention is that there isn't a huge faith factor, but Jill really delivers a great message of real love between a man and woman in how they are to be "exclusive" as well as how God created children and the way they are suppose to come into this world! It was an underlying message that I thought was very powerful, especially when the Safe Land nationals thought both of those concepts were ridiculous!
If your looking for a novel that not only has a positive message, but brings to life a whole another world then definitely read Captives because it will do all that and more!
I give this novel a 4.5 out 5 stars!
MaryAnnORAge: 55-65Gender: Female4 Stars Out Of 5Futuristic dystopian worldJanuary 10, 2014MaryAnnORAge: 55-65Gender: FemaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4The Safe Lands series transports readers to 2088, where much destruction has devastated the earth and many people suffer from a plague. Citizens ensconced within the area known as the Safe Lands cannot bear unaffected offspring. In fact, their reproduction and child-rearing methods are not what we'd call "family friendly." The people there pursue pleasure before being "liberated."
Their only hope is to bring in outsiders who are uninfected. Brothers Levi, Mason, and Omar each play a major role in the story but are often antagonistic to each other. Schemes, betrayal, kidnapping, murder, and advanced technology add drama. Can those imprisoned be rescued or do they even want to return to their simple, old-fashioned lifestyle?
Good thing the sequel to Captives just released since author Jill Williamson leaves us majorly hanging at the end of the first book. Look for Outcasts too.
Christian BookReview BlogGender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Another Winner From Jill Williamson!January 4, 2014Christian BookReview BlogGender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4I have recently become a fan of Jill Williamson's young adult books and although Captives is not my favorite of her work, it is definitely an interesting read. The story-world was described vividly and while realistic, it was somewhat unbelievable which is completely expected when reading a futuristic, dysotopian story set in 2088.
Jill once again does a tremendous job in fleshing out a teenage male protagonist-- this book had three. The storyline jumped between the points of view of Levi, Mason, Omar and some of the captive women. When I finished the book, I felt something was lacking from it and I diagnosed the feeling to the fact that, because of the many points of view, the characters were not allowed to fully develop. Therefore, my relationship with them felt a little stilted. I especially would have liked to learn more about Mason-- and Ciddah. I am confident, however, that I will learn more about the characters in future books of The Safe Lands series.
The storyline itself had plenty of shocking downhill curves. It began with suspense... and ended in suspense. Jill handles some mature topics such as drug use, fornication, forced surrogacy-- so I would definitely recommend Captives for older and mature teens (as the youngest possible readers) even though the author handles these topics delicately.
I enjoyed the underlying similarities to Daniel and his friends in pagan Babylon yet with a twist of a highly technological society. The Safe Lands definitely had similarities with today's society as well. I found the "futuristic" slang terms interesting and helpful in integrating me into Captives' story-world.
Jill has crafted another creative, interesting and suspenseful book. I rate it 4 stars. I am definitely looking forward to the next installment to The Safe Lands series!
Author/Artist Review▼▲
Author: Jill Williamson
Located in: John Day
Submitted: February 27, 2013
Tell us a little about yourself. Jill Williamson is a novelist, dreamer, and believer. She grew up in Alaska with no electricity, an outhouse, and a lot of mosquitoes. Thankfully it was the land of the midnight sun, and she could stay up and read by the summer daylight that wouldnt go away. But the winter months left little to do but daydream. Both hobbies set her up to be a writer. Her debut novel, By Darkness Hid, won an EPIC Award, a Christy Award, was a Carol Award finalist, and was named a Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror novel of 2009 by VOYA magazine.
Jill has served alongside her youth pastor husband for the past twelve years and loves working with teenagers, especially to encourage young writers. She gives writing workshops at libraries, schools, camps, and churches.
What was your motivation behind this project? Last year, my ladies Bible study group completed Beth Moores study on the book of Daniel. As we learned about the young royals who were taken from Jerusalem to be inducted into the Babylonian culture, I couldnt help but imagine how some of the teen guys in our youth group would fare in such a situation. This train of thought sent me brainstorming the story of CAPTIVES. I wanted to write the story of three brothers, Mason, Levi, and Omar, and how each reacted differently to such an experience. Masons character was going to parallel Daniels. I wanted Levi to be searching for his fiancé and Omar to be the one who totally adapts to the Babylonian-like culture. Our country today has a very Babylonian me mentality, and I wanted to explore themes in connection with that. I also feel very strongly about the spread of AIDS and wanted to write about the disease and raise questions without preaching and condemning anyone. All of those thoughts came together to create the idea in CAPTIVES, a story filled with suspense, action, romance, and a race against the clock.

The opportunities the Mentor Program opens up are nothing short of astonishing.
Here are some of our most recent Mentor Program participants. Put yourself in the picture. They're just a few months ahead of you in their trading learning curve.
When it's your turn to take part in the Mentor Program, these people will become your trading buddies, opening the door to a brand new way of life.
Plus, you'll have Chris and Louise beside you, every step of the way…
Jess has "… loved every second"
Jessica Peletier, full-time Mum / part-time trader, Carnarvon WA.
"I have loved every second of the Mentor Program! It's been amazing to be surrounded by like-minded people who are venturing down the same trading path as I am – in real life people who share this goal are few and far between. I've really enjoyed sharing ideas with the other Mentorees in the group, as well as the valuable contributions from Mentorees who have completed the course previously. Added to this sense of community is the genuine warmth and care given to us by Louise as we gain hold of the new concepts – not to mention the eye-popping strategies and processes introduced by Chris! This course has blown my mind, and we're only half way through!The support that we get and the generosity of our Mentors Chris and Louise has far exceeded my expectations – I'm so pleased to be a part of this trading community!"
"incredibly effective…"
Malcolm Waldock, Ironman Triathlon Aspirer, Sydney
The learning modality of the online forum has been incredibly effective. To share, observe and piggyback off other members learning has been a great way to embed new ideas and clarify understanding. I have never seen a forum work this well. Also, the level of passion, presence and availability of the "presenters" – Chris, Louise and Scott. Also the past Mentorees chiming in with appropriate comments has been very helpful."This course saves you money – so it actually makes you money. You get to participate in a lively and supportive community forum and the presenters give 110% of themselves to make sure it works. I do not feel like I have wasted one cent."
Nils can now trade with confidence!
Nils Thomson, Latin Enthusiast, North QLD
"Not at all sure how I could have traded with any confidence prior to doing the Mentor Program.
I now know a group of like minded traders and struggling alone is out of the equation, – I trust that I now have the means to a more mature and very realistic view of the markets.
The efforts that Louise and Chris have extended to the group are amazing and the help from past Mentorees is invaluable."
"Trading is the tip of a self development iceberg."
Andrew Urbahn, Osteopath, Buderim QLD
"For me I see trading as the most amazing journey that has the potential to change all aspects of your life. Trading is the tip of a self development iceberg. The Mentor Program has distilled the lessons of self discipline, self reliance, acknowledgement of weaknesses, focusing on strengths, being open, candid and caring for others. It's helped me lick my wounds and get back up and I'm grateful for lessons learned. Chris and Louise have helped me question the herd mentaility, develop the art of stillness, patience, stay calm and know that helping others is helping yourself – to me these are all lessons that very few get the chance to develop yet our trading journey is providing.
We are very fortunate to be a part of the Mentor Program."
"I wish I had done this course years ago"
Terry Gunning, Mechanical Maintenance – Mining, QLD
"There are some things that are very difficult to learn from reading a book i.e. riding a bicycle, driving a car, flying an aeroplane, and of course trading. The Mentor Program is the best thing I have done for myself in many years, and "I won't be looking back".
There is a huge separation from the TG program and others, and that is LB & CT have first hand experience on the subjects and there is just "no BS". The forum, unlike others is to the point and BS is not in there. This part I like, where I don't have to read paragraphs, to find I have read rubbish.If I had rubber legs, I'd be kicking my own back side for no getting involved sooner.LB, CT, our mentor buddies, past mentors are all dedicated to the success of the mentorees. What a great way to learn. My eyes really opened up wide when discussing the risk and position sizing. This blew me away. I was so ignorant of this prior to the Program. Chris Tate's part about Guaranteed Stop Losses also just dumped me on the floor.
I wish I had done this course years ago."
"…pure joy"
Felicity Rolls, Body Corporate Manager, Mornington Peninsula, VIC
"Sometimes in your life you do something that you know is one of the best decisions you've ever made and joining the Mentor Program has been like that for me. From the first day I emailed Louise, the support and encouragement from everyone involved in the Program has been exceptional. Louise and Chris have given me the best resources to take control of my future and change it. Without doubt the Program does change your life, it is so rewarding in so many ways and learning how to do it with the best of the best is just pure joy, hard work, but pure joy.
Words can't express how much I highly cherish the time, efforts and care Louise and Chris gave so generously. Scott is patience personified. The course was outstanding."
"This Program is excellent"
Sean Hartley, Soon to be trader, Sydney
"I echo the posts of other Mentorees – this Program is excellent.
Just twelve weeks in and I have made lots and lots of progress.
For someone with a construction background I realise the importance of a sound foundation and that's exactly what we are getting here and more…
The fact that we can review the videos over and over again is so beneficial plus the summaries have been excellent."
And this is after only 12 weeks!
Javier Garcia, Project Manager, Adelaide
"These are the main topics that have been very useful so far:
• Understanding which are the steps to start trading.
• Getting the concept of the different instruments in the Market.
• Getting knowledge of money risk management.
• How to analyse a share.
• I have realised that I need to understand my own psychology first. I am still fighting with some of my own internal demons . I am undertaking some changes in my life in order to be better prepared not only for trading but also for life in general.
• The morning journal is helping me in expressing what I feel.
• Getting the support from my body.
• Louise and Chris' videos so far are great, very clear to understand and an excellent complement to the books.
The level of knowledge you guys have is amazing. For me, this is the beginning of a long journey so I am very keen in getting involved in this trading family. The Program definitely exceeded my expectations. I'm already making some personal changes in my life as a consequence of the Mentor Program."
"The honesty is so refreshing…"
Alison Willis, Full-time Mum, Business owner, Brisbane
"I have attended other courses in the past. After 2 days of sitting in a seminar, you are sent on your way with a fistful of brochures upselling the next 3 courses that will "make all the difference to your trading". You leave the seminar with just enough knowledge to be dangerous and then 6 months later, you wonder what is wrong with you? The forum content is the whole package. Never before have I ever come across any other education provider that will provide all of the pieces of the puzzle. After all, what good is technical analysis if you know nothing about money management ? What use are option strategies if you don't know what a chart is? It's a bit like being taught how to change gears in a car without being taught how to steer or obey the road rules. Inevitable disaster! The format of the forum is terrific. The content is delivered in such a way that you can review it in your own time, as often as you need. And then, the best part is that after you have digested it, you can return and post up your questions. Often the questions posted by another Mentoree will spark another discussion which uncovers another gem of information.
I've been blown away with how responsive Louise and Chris have been. Unlike many other "professionals", they don't lose interest the minute they've banked your cheque. They obviously have a genuine interest in seeing you succeed. Louise has a warmth and humour that makes you feel like she is standing in the room beside you. She is also incredibly patient. Chris reminds you of that strict teacher you had in high school. The one you were dead scared of for the first 2 weeks, but by the end of term, had become one of your favourites once you realised that his teaching methods were so darn effective.
And possibly one of the best things has been the honesty. The honesty about drawdowns, strings of losses, capital required and time taken. It is so refreshing and will no doubt serve us well into the future. I feel very fortunate to be involved in the program and only wish I'd done so a long time ago."
"My suggestion about the Mentor Program? Jump at it"
Robyn Wawn, Designer/Copywriter, Kyneton, VIC
"I wondered about the Trading Game mentor course for more than a year. The nagging, curious thinking about it did not let go. One day I received yet another Trading Game newsletter then just snapped and decided. I made contact with Louise and she promptly replied. I was in. My gut instinct carried me across the line and dropped me into a potent, rich, positive and detailed information stream that changes lives. And thankfully the course has the individual human touch. My participation in this course is delivering me to the point of being quietly confident that I am developing the life skills to achieve my goals of reaching my full potential and to make a consistent long-term success of trading. My eyes and brain are being progressively opened to trading reality distilled by those who have run the trading gauntlet for decades and have nothing to prove. My new view of the world is very exciting and as a side benefit, I feel unleashed to be creatively constructing other interesting projects in my life. I sometimes think of how much time and money the Mentor course training will save by swerving me around trial, error and likely failures, avoidable bad trades, squandered equity and obliterated self confidence. I feel I don't have to re-invent the wheel to learn to trade well.
My suggestion about the Mentor Program? Jump at it.
I feel uplifted by what I've learned to date and what I've learned about my self – strengths and weaknesses. This course nails it. Absolutely essential training."
"So, so glad that I'm a part of it"
David Smal, Maintenance Supervisor, WA
"Here is what I liked best about the Mentor Program:
• The amount of info that was provided (was over and above my expectations.)
• The structured approach. (Before the program I was having trouble joining all the dots.)
• Most of all – The personal feedback from Louise and CT. Even though there is a heap of participants, each and every comment and study task was responded to in a personal well thought out motivating way.
• I liked the way the program is encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just take down notes on how Louise and Chris think it should be done (If that's what people want they could just buy your books and stop there).
This is frustrating but rewarding at the same time. I can see that this (thinking for ourselves as traders) is a cornerstone of what is needed in having confidence in the systems that we are developing and what is needed to follow them to the letter when we are kicked out of the nest. The course is excellent. So, so glad that I'm a part of it. Thank you so much for the course and all the extras that we have been given along the way.
The Program is run by good people that will stand by you all the way. If you don't do the Program, you'll surely lose more to the market than the cost of the course. Well done on a great course. Thanks so much."
"A drop in the ocean…"
Henry Field, Grey Nomad, Banora Point, NSW
"If your trading is at a standstill, don't think twice about it – do the Mentor Program.
The journey you'll go on will lift your trading to a level you never thought possible.
The money you spend to do the Program will only be a drop in then ocean compared to the income you'll be capable of earning."
Christine Croker, Aspiring Super Trader, VIC
"The information and support provided is priceless. Not only will you have close contact and support from the experts, you will have a lifelong learning experience where you are able to give and share as well. The accessibility and generosity of Louise and Chris is fantastic. Most importantly, the psychology and importance of preserving capital is bred into you.
The fact that you actually have the option of access to the forums and resources on an ongoing basis is incredible. Louise and Chris provide years and years worth of knowledge and experience in an encouraging environment – almost in a nutshell."
"HUGE value for money"
Roger Green, Part-time Trader, Mullumbimby, NSW
"The Mentor Program is an amazing investment. 6 months of training, being able to ask Chris and Louise and other Mentorees questions is invaluable. The lessons are in depth and being able to repeat the Program is HUGE value for money. If you want to fast track your learning process, cut years off your learning curve – do the Mentor Course. The cost will be vastly outweighed by what you will gain in trading."
John Barmos, Sean Connery look-a-like, free range chicken farmer, VIC
"I have never hesitated in telling people how fantastic this course is."
Trading Buddies for life
Travis Stapleton, world explorer, VIC
"The Trading Buddy project is a great resource. (Each new Mentoree is assigned a Mentoree who has been through the course before them, so they can derive encouragement). It's good to know someone is there to bounce ideas off. I loved dealing with Marc my buddy. You will learn more in 6 months from this course than learning on your own. The course is outstanding. The material and trading aspects were great, but the effects on other parts of my life were awesome!"
"Just do it!"
James Schabort, semi-retired farmer, WA
If you're interested in becoming a trader – don't hesitate about doing this course. Just do it! Each session is brilliantly thought out and presented beautifully. The extensive knowledge and dedication of Louise, Chris and everyone else on the team is terrific. No question was left unanswered and nothing was too much trouble."
"Best decision I have ever made"
Natalie Murray, Nurse, Brisbane
"This is the best decision I have ever made to put me on the path to long term success. Being able to learn from the other students is exceptional. My expectations were totally exceeded.
I am completely horrified at the thought of trading without the knowledge I've gained over the last 6 months. The Mentor Program is a serious edge in trading. The course pays for itself even before you put on your first trade."
"Best decision I have ever made"
Louise Winstanley, Nurse, VIC
"Compare this to any two day workshops in any other course! The cost can range from $1,800 to $3,000 for a weekend, usually with no follow-up at all. With the Mentor Program, you can repeat the Program as often as you like."
"Straight to the point and honest"
Philip Plowman, Ice-cream and Waffle business owner, Perth
"There is no padding in this course. It's straight to the point and honest. Chris and Louise have a genuine desire to help people in their trading.
I have been in business all my life and this program is among the best business decisions I have ever made. The cost of this Program is excellent value for money."
Life changes beyond the trading arena…
Kingston Soo, Dentist, Sydney
"The quick and insightful feedback on the forum was amazing. Funnily enough the Program has helped me be better at managing risk as a dentist."
Benefits even if you're trading full-time already!
Nick Bailey, Full-time Trader, VIC
"The fact you can repeat the Program as many times as you like for free is incredible, as well as all of the Post Grad benefits."
"… beyond anything available elsewhere"
Julienne Kay, Engineer, Brisbane
"The quality of the information is priceless.
The directed questions presented as study tasks and the Metastock training was ideal.
The quality of the Mentor Program is beyond anything available elsewhere.
The course provides you with the confidence to be professional in your approach to the markets and not just a dabbler!"
"I feel so lucky…"
Trinh Nguyen, Pharmacist, QLD
"One of the best parts of the Program is the Trading Buddy project. My buddy was always willing to take the time to meet up and answer my questions. It is the best investment I have ever, ever made and I'm sure I will make that initial investment back many times over. Louise and Chris do not sugar coat anything and they tell the truth. You also get to learn how to trade every instrument. It's really the best thing I have ever done. It's a dream come true to be involved in the Program, and I now always wake up smiling. I feel so lucky to be a part of this group. The future looks very bright and I know if I ever encounter any problems, even if it's 10 years down the track, I know I can turn to Chris and Louise for help.
Such an amazing experience, with incredible support. You'll make your money many times over! Also, the support doesn't end when you finish the Program. You'll get ongoing support from amazing people who are willing to help with every question."
"This Program has changed my life immeasurably"
Sunitha Athisdam, Chiropractor, Amsterdam
"I firmly believe you get what you pay for (especially in shoes)! For me, as I had no experience prior to the Program, I have gone from not knowing anything to being able to trade in 12 months. I am certain that education is never wasted. I am certain I will be successful at this. Thank you to Chris and Louise, but also Scott who was so generous with his time. This Program has changed my life immeasurably."
Rowena Gough, Jeweller, Teacher, VIC
"This is worth the cost many times over. This is the best value for money on so many levels. It is unique, invaluable and a major educational tool.
Louise and Chris – you provide an amazing service. Your honesty and generosity are so appreciated. Chris, your clear, strong communication has deeper philosophical meaning. The mature approach grounds complex technical information and you make it easy to follow."
"The ongoing 24/7 support from Louise and Chris was amazing."
Maree Burgess, Business owner, Melbourne
"As a trainer, this Program is well worth the cost. Chris and Louise's time and availability is unprecedented compared to any other training Program. The Mentor Program is absolutely worth the cost. It's like doing an MBA in share trading (only more comprehensive and practical). Thanks Louise, Chris, Scott and Colin for having the vision and willingness to create this program and sharing so much of your time. I'm very excited to know I can go away, start small, and cautiously experiment with all of these other instruments that 6 months ago, I would have said 'no way – too risky'. Now I'm a very happy trader!"
"…exactly what I've been looking for"
Kevin Reid, Dairy farmer/Pay TV Installer, Kialla VIC
"This is absolutely the best Program that I've ever been involved with. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone interested in trading.The training is exactly what I've been looking for and I'm pleased to have found some excellent mentors and trading friends at last. Thank you Louise and Chris for putting this Program together."
"The penny dropped"
Lisa O'Brien, Analytical Chemistry/IT, Melbourne
"The Mentor Program is well and truly worth the cost.
I had been reading for 2 years and basically got a better coverage in just the first 6 weeks of the course.
The penny dropped having people explain the basics, rather than trying to learn them myself."
"…unprecedented levels of support on an ongoing basis"
Brian Carpenter, Alpaca Whisperer, Brisbane
"The Program has had an enormous impact by reshaping my outlook, not only about trading, but on living life itself. Rather than being given a system or a plan, I have been encouraged to develop my own individual system. This is akin to playing golf with my own golf clubs (with which I practise and perfect) at my own course, as opposed to playing with someone else's clubs.
For me, this Program is really about opening my mind to new and various trading possibilities, of which I knew very little before.
Check the prices of other courses. What do you get and how many times can you repeat that course? This is the only course that provides unprecedented levels of support on an ongoing basis."
"It's a relationship for life!"
Nikki Griffiths, Trader in Training, NSW
"As well as the absolute wealth of information on trading, there's a real sense of community and camaraderie on the forum.
You get to share everyone's questions and "aha!" moments and get so much more out of it.
Compare this to just doing a course and walking away with a set of course notes you'll never read again – versus a journey with constant guidance and interaction from both Chris, Louise and many others. It's a relationship for life!"
"It's so worth the money"
Joseph Campbell, Travel Enthusiast, Christchurch, New Zealand
"The absolute ease of being able to follow what was being taught and the joy of actually feeling that I was achieving something was one of the best parts about being involved with the Mentor Program.The total lack of hype was refreshing. It's so worth the money. This course is life changing. If you have any doubts – just ring me! I'm not one for saying something that I don't mean so if anybody needed to talk to me, they'd only get the truth. I'd say – Just do it!
Did the Mentor Program live up to my expectations? Hell yes! I loved every minute of it. I've never doubted my own abilities and discipline in achieving my own goals and with Louise and Chris's guidance, anything is achievable. The senior 'trading buddy' I was teamed up with was extraordinary."
And what about you?
Ever get the feeling that your life is at a cross roads?

I know that in the beginning there will be only SA available and you guys have a lot of work to do,
but can their be a MP map team? Like, can we find some people to work with and make a map?
my idea is like a five-by-five block small little hood where you can play alternatively to SA. I imagine it would be loaded similarly to mtaVC stunt mode, just everything changed and loaded. Anyway. 25 blocks of mayhem... if you can fit a hundred people like i believe i read the goal to be, then there would be nowhere to hide. and the small size of 25 blocks is not that small at all when you figure in all the extra detail, like interiors and such that would make a bigger place impossible to accomidate.
Would that have to be a server side thing?
Could it become a sort of tournament? Are new stats and stuff like that even possible?
I know it's premature right now, but I'd like to get to work on anything I can contribute to the new wave of mods for this latest edition of GTA.
I really wanna make a completely new game, down to new ped talk and all, but I'd need a lot of learning time to do that on my own. Figure this is a good place to begin and show all my new buddies what I can do.

It's a bit early for us to be thinking about official TC's. But I will say that there'll be nothing stopping you from creating one and potentially using SA-MP to play it.

We're so used to reading scandalous headlines about Justin Bieber, so when we finally heard about something good, we felt compelled to share it with all y'all.
He recently became the first musician to grant 200 wishes to sick or disabled fans through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Lucky #200 was none other than 8-year-old Annalysha Brown-Rafanan, who made girls around the world jealous when Bieber mock-proposed to her backstage at his Atlanta, Ga. concert.
"Despite his relentless schedule, Justin has been genuinely committed to granting wishes since the very beginning and a strong supporter of Make-A-Wish," David Williams, president of Make-A-Wish America, said in a statement. "Justin understands the impact on a child of a wish-come-true and how it can create positive changes in their outlook, help them feel better, and even influence their health."
