Treatment Insights
Substance Abuse Treatment and Counseling for Young Adults SOBA College Recovery's specific motivation is to help those in a community setting who may have a problem with substance abuse or other mental disorders commonly associated with substance abuse. At each phase of treatment, clients receive certain levels of care, with a gradual step-down process proven most effective for recovering adults in this phase of their lives. When enough trust is built, clients are stepped-down from their level of controlled supervision and given more responsibility and privilege. Throughout treatment, our clients are to receive personalized attention and therapeutic care for addiction and the underlying co-occurring disorders associated with drug abuse and mental health issues. The simple idea is that the more a client works through the program the more they become self-sufficient and learn to care more about their actions and take responsibility for their own futures.
SOBA College Recovery Reviews and Ratings Details
The following is based on a combination of Surveys of Alumni, Staff, Loved Ones, and Reviews and Ratings from around the web.
Reviews at a Glance
- Multi-Family Program
This Program is the second part of family night, which takes place every Thursday at SOBA College Recovery to address family issues surrounding addiction & mental health disorders, and strategies for the entire family system to benefit from the client's recovery. Family members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
- Customized Individual Treatment
Almost any program will claim to tailor treatment to the specific needs of the individual client through both group and one-on-one counseling. Yet, traditionally, all clients are made to attend the same groups, some of which are not relevant to their specific needs. SOBA College Recovery goes above and beyond to ensure that the unique needs of each individual are addressed through specialized group treatment plans. Treatment for all clients will consist of nine to twenty one-hour group therapy sessions per week. Upon intake, licensed clinicians will assess which of the groups currently offered are most relevant to the individual. They will then determine a personalized group therapy plan that will provide the client with the most effective treatment possible. This groundbreaking approach is unique to our program and will have a profound, positive impact on our clients' success.
- Family Education Program
This is a Program specifically for the family members, loved ones and friends of clients at SOBA College Recovery. Group members learn about boundaries, self-care, communication and how to best help their loved one. The concepts of enabling are discussed at length, and parents of young adults receive the wisdom and experience from other families that have been dealing with these issues for an even longer period of time. Family members are also taught and encouraged to attend Al-Anon or Nar-Anon.
- Assessment & Evaluation Of Co-occuring Disorders
Substance use disorders can present in complex ways. It is often difficult for mental health professionals to tease out co-occurring mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an eating disorder, bi-polar disorder, depression, and borderline personality disorder. As a result, there is a great deal of misdiagnosis and over-medicating of individuals with substance use disorders. At SOBA College Recovery, our staff consists exclusively of clinicians that are dually licensed in mental health and substance use disorders, and psychiatrists that are certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). Upon admission and thereafter all clients will be re-assessed for co-occurring mental health conditions and our psychiatrists will collaborate with clinicians to develop individualized treatment plans.
- Individual Case Management
SOBA College Recovery implements a comprehensive individualized case management program to fit each client's specific needs. Issues stemming from Legal, Work, Financial, School sometimes need development. Case mangers work with clients Probation officers and or court systems to help resolve any legal issues. Resume building, Job searches, interviewing skills, filling out job applications along with work ethic and job skills training are all part of improving clients current or future employment status. Case managers work on practicing financial wellness, budgeting, bill payments, debt serving and the utilization of incentive programs.
- Trauma & Associative Awareness Therapy (AAT)
Associative Awareness Therapy (AAT) uses the brain's innate ability to adapt to change in a healing way, essentially "retraining" the brain to respond differently to familiar memories of trauma or pain.
- Client & Family Support Groups
Group therapy is a vital component of addiction recovery treatment, considered as important and effective (sometimes even more so) than individual therapy. Benefits include reducing isolation and loneliness and providing the opportunity to learn from others in recovery. In the addiction setting, group therapy is run by trained professionals who guide participants toward a shared goal of recovery.
- Emphasis On Enjoying Life In Recovery
Addiction affects every area of an individual's life, from interpersonal and romantic relationships, to work and education, to identity and recreation. At SOBA College Recovery, our team focuses not only on treating addiction and sustaining recovery, but also on helping clients rediscover themselves by finding out who they are and what they like to do. Clients will find new, healthy ways to fill their time through the many recreational activities our program offers, all in a safe, supportive environment with people who understand what they have been through and where they are trying to go in the future.
If you're on this site looking for help in a dire situation (maybe for yourself or a loved one) you have come to the right place. Let me fill you in on my story! My son R— is a 23-year-old boy who has been suffering addiction for the past six years. At first, I was in total denial about reality. After his whole mind, body and soul started getting infected by this disease, I had no other choice but to acknowledge his pain and suffering and try to help him out as any mother would. Believe it or not trying to get him into treatment was when my real trouble started! Trying to find a truly caring facility was a downright nightmare and a disaster! So that you understand: my son has been through more than 15 treatment facilities. Here is just a portion of our story: The first facility that I "chose" for R— was not really my choice. The insurance company dictated where and for how long my son was to go and recover! How sad that day was for me and my family, and also for our son, to learn he only qualified for a five-day detox (which did nothing by the way). When I spoke to the facility, their first question was what kind of insurance do you carry and that we were responsible for everything insurance didn't cover. I started to shake, cry, and I felt alone with this family disease that I was not prepared for or educated to battle. Now, the first place I took my son wanted money first instead of worrying about my son's well being. The addiction continued to grow fast and furiously. R— grew into it. Again, I tried calling every type of facility from New Jersey, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania trying to find an "open bed" that would take him. All the staff cared about was the money and not my son. We sent him to what we thought was a good program in Florida, and after the twenty-eight days of the PHP phase, they put my son in a halfway house that was filthy, dirty, smelled, and–to top it off–was next to a motel where dealers would try to entice him. After my son relapsed again–because of the poor treatment offered at the facility and their incompetent help–he was told to leave. This literally happened: R— was left on a side of a road in Florida, 1300 miles from home with no food, water, money, shelter or phone to call his family! He wanted recovery, however. So on his own he somehow got another facility to pick him up and house him. R— then was able to contact me. As you could only imagine my concern now was that my son was alone and suffering in this lion's den of crap! I called the facility where R— had been told to leave and the director yelled at me and said, "You are R—'s problem, not R—!!!!" After, many unpleasant exchanges of words, I tried to get a hold of my son. The new facility was run by a young man. When I was asking him questions and started interviewing him, I found him not to be trustworthy. Some weeks went by with very little or no communication with R— or staff. I began to get very hyper about jumping on a plane and going to Florida to go get him, but I didn't even know where he was! Well, my questions were soon answered. My worst fears were realized. A hospital called on my cell phone, but the details were sketchy about what was really happening to R—. After a nervous hour went and my entire family broke into tears when we found out R— had overdosed. There were many questions that needed to be answered about how this happened to a young boy supposedly being taken care of at a top notch facility. For instance: Why did the hospital have to take charge and have the responsibility of calling me and not the treatment center? My phone rang with a boy saying, "Are you R— mother?" "Oh my God, Yes! Who are you?" He told me his name and explained that the DRIVER(!) employed by the new facility (where R— was going to be SAFE,) had injected R— with too much heroin. R— then fell to the floor and stopped breathing! Now a driver is part of the problem too?!! All of these incompetent facilities should lose their license once and for all. When will this ever end and where are the caring facilities?! We brought our son home, but still suffering from active addiction. Finally, it happened that I spoke to a good friend of mine whose son was R—'s friend since he was fifteen and had suffered with the same problem. She told me about a facility called SOBA College Recovery. She gave me the name of a man who ran the facility called Philip Chasin. I spoke with him. He promised to help me. He came immediately to our home with another tech. They came to my house quietly, lovingly and with open hearts and minds. My husband and I felt a great weight lifted off of our family. Phillip asked us to leave the room as he took right over and spoke with R— softly. By the time we were asked to come back into the room, R— began packing his clothes WILLINGLY. (Finally, a well-run program!) As treatment facilities goes, SOBA College Recovery is so loving and caring. It is A TRUE healthy environment for R— (and their other clients) to be in. They offer not only top notch experience, but the treatment is second to none! The structure and counselors that work with the clients and their families, open up a special balance between work, school, home, and family life like NO OTHER treatment facility. SOBA College Recovery has the capability, compassion and commitment that you won't find anywhere else! Please read and BELIEVE there is an answer to your addiction. It's called, "SOBA College Recovery." R— is clean and sober. He has the light back in him and it is shining brighter than ever! He is back to furthering his education and working! My son again is smiling, optimistic, happy and healthy! We are ALL a healthy family once more! Thank you SOBA College Recovery and Staff!Anonymous

(Archive) US ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson in a meeting with Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi and US senator John Kerry - Reuters
U.S. ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson said on Tuesday that having many American investors in Egypt is the biggest proof that the United States is keen on supporting Egypt during these tough economic times.
In a statement to the Middle East News Agency, Patterson said that many businessmen and American investors are fully convinced of the promising investment opportunities in Egypt due its geographic location and trade potential, two things which qualify it to be among the ranks of developed countries within the coming years.
Patterson encouraged Egyptian businessmen to make good investments and make the best use of trade opportunities that aim to support trade relations between Egypt and the U.S.

In contrast to Stein's formally challenging later works, the narrative style of Three Lives is relatively straightforward.[9] Stein wrote in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas of an envoy from the book's publisher who was surprised on visiting her to discover she was American, and that she assured him the foreign-seeming syntax was deliberate.[10]
Stein admired in Flaubert and painter Cézanne their focus on working-class subjects, and their greater devotion to their means of expression over a strict representation of their subjects. Stein wished to break from the strict naturalism then in vogue in American letters.[1] Her brother Leo had drawn her attention to compositional aspects of Cézanne—that Cézanne focused on the spatial relationships of the figures depicted rather than on verisimilitude.[1] Stein focused on the relations of movement between characters, and intended for each part of the composition to carry as much weight as any other.[11]

Week 17 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Tony Romo and 3 Other Dallas Cowboys to StartDecember 27, 2011
Week 17 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Tony Romo and 3 Other Dallas Cowboys to Start
Tony Romo missed out a putting up any sort of numbers in the Dallas Cowboys loss on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles after he bruised his hand by hitting it on Jason Babin's helmet on the fourth play from scrimmage for the Cowboys.
Fantasy owners with Romo on their teams probably replicated Romo's bruise by punching walls with the fantasy points lost due to his injury.
Fortunately for fantasy owners, no one swoons amidst their freak injuries like those suffered by Romo.
Romo still looks to be a player to start for this week for those fantasy owners playing in fantasy championships or otherwise playing games this week. Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett are optimistic about his condition. The rest on Saturday probably did Romo well.
A few other Cowboys players would be worth starting this week along with Romo.
Read along to find out.
Tony Romo
Romo looks like he's on track to start on Saturday. According to the Star-Telegram, Romo's swelling has gone down. Garrett was fairly positive when asked about it on Monday. He said, "It looks like it's getting better. ...It looks like the swelling is going down. We're hopeful he can practice on Wednesday."
Jones told KTCK-AM 1310 on Monday, "It looked a lot better than it did the other night."
That's very promising for the Cowboys. Their prospects of winning on Sunday would be much slimmer if the swelling hadn't gone down.
Tony Romo should be in full form as long as his hand progresses as one would expect. Since the Cowboys and Giants can be expected to run at full sprint in the game on Sunday, Romo could have a big game. Matching his 21-for-31, 321-yard, four-touchdown performance a few weeks ago isn't out of question.
Starting Romo is a safe move for fantasy owners.
Laurent Robinson
Laurent Robinson is coming off a rough game against the Eagles. He only caught one ball for five yards. Saturday was Robinson's quietest day since Week 1 when he didn't catch any passes.
This is understandable when Romo was out and Stephen McGee chose safer throws on Saturday.
Robinson should be back on his field-stretching game on Sunday. He had four catches for 137 yards and a touchdown in the last Cowboys-Giants game. Robinson will catch some deep balls and enter the end zone at least once against the Giants.
Fantasy owners should feel assured about starting Robinson.
Miles Austin
Miles Austin had a nice game against the Eagles. He caught four passes for 40 yards and was the only Cowboys receiver to get a touchdown.
Austin has been in solid form since returning from his hamstring injury. In the last three games, Austin has 13 catches for 156 yards and a touchdown in each game. He had four catches for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Giants in the last meeting.
Expect Austin to get a decent amount of yards and a touchdown against the Giants on Sunday.
Austin is a sure start for this week.
Jason Witten
Jason Witten, like other Cowboys receivers, took a hit in the numbers department with McGee playing most of the game on Saturday. Witten caught his requisite four passes, but for only 24 yards.
Witten is now looking at a five-game touchdown-less streak. Sometimes it's just a matter of where on the field the catch is made.
Witten should pick up in yardage against the Giants. He should get more yards per catch with Romo starting. Maybe a touchdown will be in the works.
Witten can never be counted out as a No. 1 tight end option.

Tracy, the blurb for your latest book, And the Beat Goes On, really hooked me. Tell us about this book and how you came upon the idea.
When I first became a Christian I was perplexed by the apparent discrepancy between Biblical creationism and accepted 'scientific' explanations for the origins of the universe. This interest led me into years of research on the topic which eventually came together in this book. I don't pretend to be an expert by any means, but I wanted to shed some light on the topic, and at least raise enough questions that my readers would want to investigate further. In the book, an archeologist finds the remains of pterodactyl and giant humans buried together. Of course, the find goes against everything that most scientists believe to be true. Mark, the main character, is himself skeptical at first, but is determined to uncover the truth. Sabotage, intrigue and even murder ensue. J This is also a story about personal redemption as Mark has to face his own issues from the past and come to terms with the evidence he's found. I also love fantasy and Sci-fi, so I managed to incorporate some references to the 'Nephilim' – the mystic race of giants mentioned in the Bible as pre-flood 'evil doers'.
I note you are currently working on three other books. I'm doing the same thing and at times find it a bit overwhelming. Do you utilize a certain method for working concurrently on three different books, such as setting aside a designated time to work on each, or do you just go with the flow?
I am totally a 'go with the flow' person. I need a variety of projects so that when I get bored with one, or come to a roadblock, I can switch to something else until I feel inspired again. I also love making schedules, but usually ignore them once made. J I guess I take some kind of weird comfort in knowing that the schedule is there if I need it, but that I still have the freedom to deviate. I actually prefer the term 'framework' – a much friendlier phrase for those of us who don't like to be locked in!
Any upcoming releases?
My next novel called My Mother The Man Eater is due to release either just before Christmas or early in the new year. I had a lot of fun writing this one. It is about a forty something 'cougar' who likes her men and is concurrently dating five different prospects at one time. She also happens to have five grown daughters, and – you guessed it – each one of the 'boyfriends' end up falling for one of the daughters instead. The plot is further complicated by the arrival of her ex husband, an ex con involved with the underground drug world who is blackmailing her. It is a bit 'edgy' in spots, but nothing too graphic. I would classify it as Romantic Suspense, and although it deals with some pretty serious issues like sexual abuse, drug addiction, etc., it also has an element of comedy.
In your blog, you aptly use the monster truck your husband had to learn to drive for his job as a metaphor for an author learning the ropes of promoting their work. I agree- it can be overwhelming and frustrating. What do you think works for you best in regards to promoting your books?
Quite honestly, I'm still figuring that out! I had no idea there was so much involved when I first ventured into the world of publication. Targeting your niche is probably really important, which of course, means first figuring out who you are as an author. I categorize myself as an 'Edgy Christian Suspense with a twist of Romance' writer – kind of a mouthful, I know! I also think social networking is really key. At first it might seem kind of pointless – spending so much time marketing to other authors. We're all doing the same thing – trying to sell our books, and I know I can't afford to buy all the great books I hear about. However, I have come to realize what a wonderful resource these 'friends' are. The old saying, "It's not what you know but who you know," is true in this sense. I have gained some of my most valuable promotional advice from other authors.
I understand the Christian fiction market is a very hot market at this time. As a Christian writer, do you find this market more open to writers?
Yes and no. Yes, because Christian fiction is reaching a wider audience and is less pigeon holed than it used to be. No, because there are just so many authors out there that the competition is really stiff. You really have to work to stand out in the crowd.
As well as a published author, you're a high school teacher of art, drama and English and a drama director. Have you incorporated any of your experiences in the teaching field into any of your books?
One novel, which is still unpublished, but which I am planning to pitch very soon, has a Kindergarten teacher as the main character. I actually taught Kindergarten in my first year of teaching – me – a person trained in Secondary School Fine Arts and English! FYI, the experience taught me that I really prefer teenagers! I've incorporated a few 'artist' characters in a couple of my novels, since I am an artist myself and love the arts. For me, the whole creative process is such an integral part of who I am, that I find my various creative roles do tend to mesh quite often.
What do you like most about writing?
Sometimes I feel that it is less about me 'liking' writing, than it is about being 'compelled' to write. Writing is hard work. It can be so mentally exhausting that one feels physically exhausted as well. However, it is not something I will ever stop doing, whether I ever see any more of my work in print or not.
What inspires you as a writer?
I get inspired by the most random things. Of course, there are the standard things like music, nature, a place or event … but I remember being inspired one time while in the middle of a game of curling. My skip was not happy! He was yelling, "Hurry hard!" and I was totally lost in a scene I was making up in my head. Some of the characters in my next book were inspired by playing the Sims! How lame is that!
Which of your books and plays is your favorite and why?
That is a really hard question! Right now I am really excited about the release of My Mother The Man Eater, so I'm leaning toward that one. The characters are so well rounded, and it's gritty, funny, sexy, and full of intrigue all at the same time. Of course, I am also very proud of And The Beat Goes On and the way that it is thought provoking, without being preachy. At least that was my intent – for people to learn something without them really knowing it – to just enjoy the book for the story.
What is your favorite quote?
"To thine own self be true," from Shakespeare's Hamlet. This pretty much sums up my personal philosophy. Be the person God created you to be, and don't worry about what other people think.
The Dames love romance. How did you meet your husband and how long have you been married?
We started dating when I was 17 and he was 20. I was a somewhat rebellious small town girl and he was a 'bad boy' from the city, which is probably what attracted me in the first place. J He was the brother of my best friend's brother's wife. (Figure that out!) My parents knew of his family and their response was "Oh no!" However, he is a very fun loving, adventurous sort and soon won them over. We often laugh that it was a good thing we met before the days of internet dating services. We are as opposite as it comes and would never have been matched! He loves nature, roughing it, and adventure of ANY kind. I like going to art galleries and live theatre and I don't really like adventures. However, as the saying goes, opposites attract and we have been happily married for 27 ½ years and been together for thirty. He has learned to appreciate art, music and drama, and I have been on some crazy adventures that have been fun after all and have given me lots of fodder for my writing.

As you know, Canada is a vast country – the second largest in the world after Russia and taking up about half of the North American continent. However, there are only 35,000,000 of us, which is why I think Canadians tend to be very 'location' aware. We really define ourselves, I think, by the vastness of the land and our small place in it. We are also very proud of our reputation abroad of 'courtesy and tolerance', and I do think we tend to be more liberal in our thinking about a lot of things. Not everyone would think this is a good thing, of course, but we usually just smile smugly and go about our business. There is a lot more to Canada than the stereotypic 'hockey' and 'Mountie' image. We do have large metropolitan cities and live pretty much as our friends to the south do. (And no, we do not live in igloos!)
My own experience has been somewhat unique in that I have moved a lot in my life (my husband's adventurous nature again…) so I have lived in some a-typical and somewhat 'exotic' northern locations, if I can put it that way. For instance, Churchill, Manitoba is known as the "Polar Bear Capital of the World' for good reason – polar bears do actually roam the streets and you have to be very careful and aware at all times not to get eaten! (Polar bears actually stalk humans.) We've also lived in several locations north of the 60th parallel, (the Yukon, for instance which is right beside Alaska) which is synonymous with 'the land of the midnight sun'. It is not uncommon during the summer to see kids out playing ball at midnight or two AM, because it is broad daylight. Conversely, the winter is very long, dark and dreary, but you get used to it. We currently live in a small mountain town called Tumbler Ridge, which is know for its many waterfalls. Who knows what will be next?
Anyway, thanks for having me at 'Dames of Dialogue" It's been fun.

Produce content that sings solo. Don't just join the chorus
Let's be honest. Producing regular original content is hard. You're forced to wear many hats – creative director, writer, editor, and even project manager.

New Affiliate Program at Shareasale
- Join Date
- July 27th, 2005

InsightQuote (www.insightquote.com) is launching a new affiliate program through Shareasale. A brief description of our service and affiliate payout structure follows. I would greatly appreciate any feedback that you might have regarding our program or any tips related to successfully managing affiliate relationships. My name is Will Schneider, and I am one of the founders of InsightQuote. I can be reached at email@example.com. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
InsightQuote, Inc. was founded in order to provide businesses, both large and small, with a more efficient way to outsource their advertising specialty, promotional item and order fulfillment needs, as well as several other categories of business services. For example, companies spend considerable amounts of money to have their logos placed on everything from t-shirts to coffee mugs, and many companies are in need of fulfillment services such as binder assembly. We realize that tremendous cost savings can be achieved by outsourcing these projects. And make no mistake about it - choosing a vendor is a critical phase in the process, as many vendors charge substantially different prices for identical products and services. We make businesses more profitable by having vendors compete for their business so they can find the best price and terms at the click of a button. Business consumers simply fill out a short quote request form and we will automatically route it to participating vendors. These vendors will process the request and contact each business with a quote. Most importantly, InsightQuote is not a vendor itself. Rather, we are in the business of providing business consumers with FREE, multiple quotes from qualified vendors.
We are looking for quality affiliates to build lasting relationships in the future to drive targeted, quality traffic. You can offer your business visitors, large and small, a quality service while at the same time earn unlimited cash flow. We offer competitive rates for qualified leads our payouts start at 30%. For example, we will sell a qualified advertising specialty lead for $25 to a vendor. You will earn $7.50 on the sale of this lead. Better yet, if we sell the lead to four vendors, you will receive commission on an additional three sales, for a total of $30. Additional commissions are paid out using the post manual transaction feature on Shareasale.

Nairobi - A bomb attack at a bus station in Nairobi on Saturday killed at least three people and wounded more than 20 others, Kenya police said.A senior police official who did not want to be named told AFP it was believed several grenades had been thrown at the bus station."I just saw a vehicle pass and then someone just threw things that exploded," witness Charles Njenga told AFP."Many people have been injured," he added."I survived because I was in a bus that was still loading people."It is the first such incident in the Kenyan capital since two grenade attacks carried out within 24 hours of each other last October killed one person and injured 30 others.A Kenyan supporter of Somalia's Islamist Shebab fighters was arrested soon afterwards and was convicted after having confessed to the attacks.The Shebab have on several occasions threatened reprisal attacks against Kenya since it sent its troops over the border into southern Somalia in mid-October to fight the group.No one has so far claimed responsibility for Saturday's attacks.- Are you there? Send us your eyewitness accounts.

I wonder how much it would cost, to ask the USA to expend some of her ageing nukes on ridding the world of this muslim scourge. Just a couple of low-yield nuclear warheads to cleanse the horn of Africa. Then beautiful Kenya shall once again be free for all the peoples of the world to enjoy.

At least once or twice in the past, when you're trying to sleep, you might have experienced a sudden jerk. You tend to wake up all of a sudden due to that jolt.
Sometimes, you get a sensation of a sudden fall and that might wake you up from the sleep. Such an experience could suddenly shock anyone.
Well, it is known as hypnic jerk. It occurs due to twitching of muscles. The action occurs involuntarily. It could occur to most of us at least once in a lifetime.
Just as your body almost falls asleep, you could wake up due to the jerk. It occurs exactly when your body reaches a point known as hypnagogic state.
What could be the reason behind that jerk? Well, exhaustion and fatigue. When your body is extremely tired, your brain may hastily process the sleep stages.
This could cause confusion inside your organs. In that confused state, when your body thinks that there is something wrong, it tries to wake you up immediately.
Your body releases certain chemicals all of a sudden to wake you up immediately. In fact, sometimes your body also creates a dream which suits the context and wakes you up suddenly. It could also be a nightmare that wakes you up quickly.
What could cause these hypnic jerks? Stress, anxiety, caffeine, alcohol and even over-exercising in the evening could cause those jerks.
Also, if your sleeping position isn't relaxing, or when you are too tired, a jerk might occur when you almost fall asleep.
How to prevent these hypnic jerks? Consuming foods rich in magnesium could help you relax and fall asleep smoothly. Mediation and yoga might also help relax your body.

No one ever talks about defense
The Celtics drew national accolades with a 113-96 win over the Knicks in Game 3 at Madison Square Garden Friday night. In what was supposed to be the first test of the playoffs, the Celtics faced a hostile crowd at MSG and put on a clinic. Finally, the Celtics were back.
But loyal Celtics fans will tell you their team never left. The Celtics blew up on offense in Game 3, hitting 14 of 24 3-pointers and shooting 50.6 percent from the field overall. On defense, however, it was more of the same: Boring, monotonous, dominance. So played.
Knicks fans and Celtics doubters will point to New York being shorthanded in the Celtics' 4-0 sweep. Chauncey Billups was out and Amar'e Stoudemire was banged up. The Knicks could have used both of them.
Coming into the series, New York had won seven of eight games. In those games, they scored 113, 120, 123, 131, 97, 116, 110, and 90 points. In four games against the Celtics, the Knicks scored 85, 93, 96, and 89 points. Their high game — in Game 3, where the Celtics got all the praise — was 10 points below their season average of 106.5 points per game. In other words, the Celtics did their worst when everyone said they did their best.
Maybe the Knicks were unlucky in four games vs. the Celtics. Maybe the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA over 82 games (Kendrick Perkins played in 12 of those games, started in seven) caught a break and got four bad games from the team in New York.
Seems unlikely, though. Seems like maybe we should start mentioning defense in a discussion of the Celtics' chances going forward.

Wow, gaming like it used to be. Will you be queueing overnight outside a shop to get a copy?Reply
The resistance is being led by a single brave scientist ably assisted by his recently bereaved girlfriend and a large robot dog.
The Avengers help out for a while, but have to return to Earth for some nonsense involving a mad robot, leaving the scientist to complete the job.
That would be a first. To have a game you can't win, where there's no happy outcome, where not being annihilated is the best possible outcome. Kobayashi Maru.Reply
Heavy Gear.
The entire campaign is a large scale retreat after your capital ship ends up becoming disconnected from the fleet behind enemy lines. And the whole time you're personally blamed for everything that goes wrong.
The actual gameplay was a blast. But that story / campaign was one of the worst things I've ever had to play through. Nihilism does not make for a fun game. Not losing is not the same as winning.
Dunno. Microsoft may be looking at Steam and Steam OS (that's still a thing, right?) and wondering how much of their Windows sales they'll lose if it all actually works. Perhaps we'll see XBone games running on Win10 on PCs.
But I'm not holding my breath because all I'm expecting is a 'roadmap' and promises of Unicorns.Reply
Nope. I prefer the continuity and keeping the whole season in my head over a week or so while I play through. Somehow, adventures and whatever TWD is never have the same appeal on a second run through and the gap between episodes is just too long...
HalfLife killed any desire for cliff hangers I ever had :-) There's also the abiding fear that the developers will go tits up mid season...
Perhaps what TWD needs is to record all the choices you made in earlier episodes and lets you use them to play the earlier episodes back as a movie to bring you up-to-date ready to play the next episode...Reply
Yeah I wouldn't mind so much if it was just say, a week. But if you're waiting an uncertain amount of time up to a couple of months, it can be difficult to remember everything that's come before.
The far worse alternative for me would be to replay episodes before playing the new ones, to "get back into" things, and that just kills the sense of progression. in the story events.
As it stands I platy them altogether, but personally I tend to stretch the whole playthrough over the course of weeks, if not a month or so anyway. So there's still sufficient time for everything to "sink in" and not really kill off the cliffhanger moments, but at the same time I'm not stuck waiting months for the next bit.

R Ashwin will be missing the whole IPL due to a sports hernia and this has thrown a spanner in Pune IPL team's plans for IPL 10. They have called up many new names for trials to replace Ashwin and you might be surprised to learn about potential replacements.
Along with previously reported Australian spinner Nathan Lyon, it has been reported that Jammu's Parvez Rasool and Tamil Nadu's Washington Sunder have been asked to attend the trials by Rising Pune Supergiant. Rasool has represented India recently in a T20I against England and has only played a total of 11 matches in last four IPL tournaments.
Sunder on the other hand picked 7 wickets in 9 Deodhar Trophy matches and impressed cricket fans with his ability to control the run rate and bowl at death. He was part of both India U-19 teams that played the World Cup in 2014 and World T20 in 2016, where India lost to West Indies in the finals.
Pune have also lost Mitchell Marsh due to his shoulder injury and roped in Imran Tahir as replacement.

On June 19, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) met privately with representatives of the U.S. Army, General Services Administration, and Plexus Scientific Corporation, a consulting firm working for the military. The Army, as part of the decontamination and demolition process at Badger, contracted with Plexus to evaluate buildings on the installation for residual explosive risk.
According to WDNR staff present at the meeting, open burning is being discussed as a means to decontaminate highly sensitive buildings where nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose are present in raw form or have permeated wooden structural members. Residual nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine could be an explosive risk to workers and other onsite personnel performing building demolition, salvaging, or related activities. One means of addressing this residual contamination is burning the buildings. This approach, however, places the environment and human health at risk.
According to a Plexus report prepared for the Army at Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant in Kansas, open burning of explosive-contaminated structures produces toxic emissions including nitrous oxide. "Open burning will also cause the release of hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead, zinc, and potentially harmful combustion products from electrical materials, preservative coatings on equipment, paints, plastics, and other construction materials into the atmosphere and potentially into soils, groundwater, and surface water," the Plexus report said.
The 1996 report, which was submitted to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for review, found that burning is "not environmentally friendly." "During an open burning materials are changed from a solid form and are released to the atmosphere where they will certainly be deposited over a large area resulting in contamination of soil and surface water," Plexus said.
Exposure to airborne vapors and dust generated during burning is also a potential risk to workers and others who might be exposed to toxic emissions and nearby plants and animals; deposited materials could affect both soil and surface water bodies in the area surrounding the burn site, Plexus concluded.
So far, only preliminary work has been conducted at a few of the buildings at Badger and the Army has not come forward with a formal proposal at this time, the WDNR said. Preliminary findings indicated, however, that approximately 100 buildings could be considered for open burning.

Mixed-Style: Last Hutong In Beijing
Posted by Stephen Luo on 17. Feb 2012
A mix of west and east, fashion and tradition, present and past, it is South Luogu Lane, a Hutong in Beijing.
Meanwhile, millions of visitors are longing for homes for their hearts: a home for reminiscence, curiosity or romance.
South Luogu Lane offers everything.
Last time I went with a 16-year-old boy, whom I tutored for two years. He is a artless boy who is crazy about prose and novels that describe appealing scenes or affecting plots in over-adorned words and elegant rhythm. Thus he loves anything visually beautiful.
"How stupid I was when I always hanged out at shopping malls. How common they are," he screamed on arrival.
It was 6 p.m. and the dark blanket of sky covered the old city, and the old Hutong. On both sides of the lane, old, small but well-redecorated bungalows were quietly sitting there, each of which had been turned into boutiques, selling old-fashioned clothes, postcard with photo of Beijing in 1990s or small ornaments like glasses or clocks.
People with cameras hanging on the neck or shoulders, stepping in and out of boutiques. From their dialogue, I knew they are native Beijingers and some of them must have been here for several times. However, they still dropped in, in a tourist mind -- to find something new. We lingered at a store selling DIY albums and one selling notebooks with covers in traditional Beijing pattern or Hutong names. As he knew little about the history of Beijing Hutong, he found the names interesting. As the DIY albums' covers were make-up photos with over-adorned words, so he showed me some his favorable sentences. Although I think those words are meaningless moan, but I bet those who agree with me won't come to this house but the bar across the lane.
I used to come with my girlfriends, a gourmet willing to taste all kinds of desserts. The most famous dessert houses in South Luogu Lane is WenYu Dairy, which sells yogurt, milk custard and plum syrup. The house opens at noon and only prepare several hundred desserts. When all are sold out, the house closes. Last time we came a little late after 3 p.m., we had to imagine the deliciousness facing the closed door. However we came across a Hong Kong style dessert house and tried mango sweetened sago cream, which satisfied my girlfriend but killed me with its sweet.
Drinkers and sports fans will take their seats in bars, foreign visitors may find the pizza stuffed with Chinese cuisine, and the elders may discover the old style uniforms with Chairman Mao's slogans.
For locals like me, the old bungalows, the dim lamps hanging on the branches, the bumpy stone path and the aging tall trees leaning on the low roofs, I felt going back to my childhood, and that's the reason why locals always bring their cameras here -- to "record" the childhood-like life.

The Tecuexe were an indigenous peoples of Mexico, who lived in the eastern part of present-day Guadalajara.

It is believed that the Tecuexe derived from the dispersion of Zacateco groups from La Quemada. Like the Zacatecos, the Tecuexe were a tribe belonging to the generic "Chichimeca" peoples. It is known that they settled next to rivers which they used to their advantage to grow beans and corn. They were also expert artisans, carpenters and musicians. Toribio de Benavente Motolinia wrote "in any place… all know to work a stone, to make a house simple, to twist a cord and a rope, and the other subtle offices that do not require instruments or much art." The Tecuexe were known for their fierceness and cruelty towards their enemy. They were known to be so brave, it is said, that once, when the Mexica (Aztecs) came from Chicomostoc, Zacatecas to take control of Xolotl, (and course on to the lagoon where they found an eagle devouring a serpent) they attacked the settlers of Acatic, Teocaltiche, Mitic, Teocaltitán and Xalostotitlán, but in Tepatitlán, when they encountered the Tecuexe, having heard of their legendary cruelty, the Mexica avoided facing them.
The Tecuexe wore dresses with classic tilmatl (tilma) and huipilli, worn with comfortable cactlis and adorned their bodies with necklaces, bracelets, earrings and nose rings that they themselves made. They liked to make their houses in valleys and gorges near rivers, always in a position ready to battle. They also had temples in Teocaltiche, San Miguel el Alto, Jalostotitlán, Teocaltitan de Guadalupe and possibly in Tepatitlán.
Spanish Conquest[edit]
They were conquered by Captain Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán who began his siege on December 21 of 1529. His army consisted of 200 Spaniards on horse, 300 infantry on foot, 10,000 Mexicas (Aztecs) and 10,000 Tarascos and Tlaxcaltecas who had switched to the Spanish side. In the fight many died, some took refuge in the mountain areas and those that remained in the plains were enslaved and forced into hard labor. About ten years later they took revenge. They were one of many tribes who fought under Tenamaxtli in the Mixton rebellion (1540–41). It is said that about 100,000 natives were gathered on the Mixton Mountain, ready to end Spanish rule, and that behind every stone, land, tree or brush was a native Caxcán, Tecuexe, Coca or Chichimeca, ready to subdue the invaders.
The Mixtón Rebellion[edit]
The Last of the Tecuexe[edit]
The last Tecuexe chief is said to be Chapalac, who the lake of Chapala is named after. In the end the Spanish power won, but some natives, rather than surrendering and being enslaved, threw their women and their children head first off the cliffs. This was soon stopped by Franciscanos. Fray Antonio de Segovia who took in his hands the venerated image of the Virgin of Zapopan. Acts like these are considered in parallel to Leónidas and his 300 soldiers who died fighting until the last man. After enslavement it is said that by 1854 no one in the tribe could speak their native language, and much of their identity was forgotten. Although today some indigenous tribes remain, they no longer exist as a cultural group.
The Tecuexe language is now extinct and very little is known about it. It may have been an Uto-Aztecan language.

The editors of La Voix Du Yémen announced its rebirth as a cultural e-zine. I hope it will be much more than that. Just as the diwans of Baghdad were great cultural engine rooms, they were also political workshops. Often, the two spheres collided to great effect – think of Abu Nuwas, or Ibn Fadhlan, whose politiciking was clothed in superb prose and poetry. That's' what I hope for, too.
To read some articles, one would think that The Street had been beaten by the System, and that Youth was back in its box, as the all-too-Loyal Opposition was back in cahoots with the cliques. While the latter may be true, the former is most certainly not!
It's true that the Youth have mostly dispersed from the Squares, but not before winning the battle. And make no mistake about who won – it was not Hashid's qabilis, nor Ali Muhsin's jundis who budged Ali Abdullah and his family from office. It was the Youth, using Ghandi-esque tactics of non-violent demonstration. While "Amir" Ali Abdullah's fellow monarchs and courtiers may have eased his exit, the Street's campaign continues. La Voix must be a cyber-domain where Yemenis from all walks of life and parts of the globe can e-congregate and co-operate to help Yemen forward in a non-partisan way. Indeed, it would be great to see some artistic political satire!
There's no need to re-invent the wheel either. If there's a good idea being used somewhere else – and there are all too many places which suffer from the same problems as Yemen – we should take it, adapt it and run with it – just as we did with Ghandi's non-violent demonstrations. With enough people, the work and the cost can be shared to manageable levels.
Having mentioned one great Indian idea, here's an example of what I mean. Like us, India has a huge corruption problem. People got together, and developed www.ipaidabribe.com Easily tackled corruption fell off almost immediately (there's still much to do, but it's a start.) Great idea? Yes indeed – and guess what? Our Tunisian brothers and sisters have just formed their own I Watch, and set up a similar system "Billkamcha".
And who knows – we might get some good poetry out of it. Well, amusing poetry anyway!
"There was a young man from Sanhan,
Who grabbed what he could, then he ran.
Yemen's Youth brought him down,
And stripped off his crown.
Now he's an interfering old man."
Yallah, ya Yemeniyun!

I'm in London for business and have a weekend in which I'll be sightseeing. Other than a football game in Tottenham on Sunday (assuming the madness has calmed down and they actually play the game), my days and nights are wide open.
Staying near Grosvenor Square, but willing to travel for good food where I'll feel comfortable eating at the bar or alone. Bonus points for good wine, cocktails, and organic food. Thanks in advance!

Timeless Roadster, Fun for Everyday
By Al_hiFi on
Vehicle2001 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL500 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 5A)
ReviewThis roadster is making presence on the road, parking lot or garage. Puts a smile on owners face every time is driven. Abundant performance, whisper quiet with the top down. It feels very safe to be in on the road even when surrounded by SUV's. Hardtop feature is extremely usefull when cold and it improves body flex. Sport package must to have since it makes this car to stand out of the crowd and it helps to keep the resale value. Reliability is far better than new R230. Everything in this car is overbuild for quality, but you pay the price in extra weight and extra $$. Great highway cruiser.
Best FeaturesAMG body styling with staggered wheels, Smooth broadband power, Voice activated audio and phone. Paint quality is amazing. Aluminum calipers and crossdrilled rotors can stop this monster on the dime.
Worst FeaturesIt would be nice to bring the weight down to make it more tossable.

Iridium 920 Notebook Problems
I purchased an Iridium 920 notebook to use in my role as a science teacher with the flexibility to take it back and fore to school. The reviews for Iridium were great at the time and I found no negative reviews when browsing the internet.
It cost me £1,650.65 from RedJag Computers Ltd on 5/7/05.
My initial problem was the graphics changed to very low resolution at random. On informing RedJag computers Ltd, I was asked by RedJag to phone ATI directly as they were blaming ATI's graphics board as the problem. Needless to say I was asked by ATI to contact RedJag as it was their responsibility. I then contacted RedJag's Quality Manager who then agreed to take the notebook back.
RedJag then reported back that the BIOS had not been set up properly by the manufacturer Iridium. On return it worked well for a few days then it started crashing at random 1-5 times per week. The screen resolution only happened 'once' since its return though.
On trying to contact RedJag Computers Ltd I got no response by e-mail or by telephone during August and September. They now no longer exist, as I found out when my letter was returned.
Next the screen seized up when on battery power. It would only give me the initial setup text menu and then the screen went blank. At this stage I contacted Iridium and asked for my money back. I was informed that I would get a refund when speaking to an Iridium customer services manager and that I would get a refund. The sales manager was supposed to telephone me that afternoon to instruct me how to get a refund. I received no telephone call with these instructions.
When I telephoned Iridium enquiring about this matter, I kept getting told that I must go through the mobile-support.net service who is responsible for warranty cover.
I wrote to them and have received a letter stating that they are not responsible for replacement but it is RedJag Computers Ltd, who they know are not contactable and I have informed them also that they no longer exist as a company.
Also on several occasions I have could not get through by telephone on the mobile-support.net warranty line after 10 to 20 minutes,both at lunchtime and between 9.00 to 5.00 pm. They have admitted they have had a backlog. One of the reasons I purchased an Iridium notebook was because of their claims to be the best after sales service provider around.
While currently seeking legal advice I have returned the notebook under warranty and seem to be getting quick responses to my e-mails(now well before 24 hours) from their helpline.
There are a few other niggly problems i.e. the flat screen does not move up and down without sticking.
This notebook has not been an asset due to all the problems I have had with it and is certainly not worth £1,650.65. I hope nobody else has this experience with an Iridium notebook. I really would like my money back as currently the Iridium 920 has been a waste of my hard earned money. It has not behaved like a high quality notebook as advertised, or what I expected for such a large sum of money!
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

just returned from 7 days on the Island Escape, 2nd time was on the ship in Sept 2009, so we knew what it was like. We had a great cruise in Sept, could not fault anything, know it needs an upgrade but every aspect of the cruise outshone that. This time however the food was not as good, everything was only warm, not hot like we like it, the quality of food was not as good, vegetables and potatoes were hard and very undercooked.However the holiday was still great the whole crew make everyone feel so welcome, its an amazing friendly place to be. The weather was not too kind at times but we can't do anything about that. I will definate return to this ship and if the refurbishments go ahead it will take some beating.
