2. The leash wrapping round my foot
This ruined my stance if the leash got tangled around my toes on the front foot. But could also hurt if it got caught round my ankle in a wipeout and the board is yanked away from me. This never normally hurts due to the thick wetsuit or booties that I usually wear.
Does this happen to anyone else, or am I just cementing myself as the forum woose?

Amber Café
Online Reservations
This was our first trip to Amber Cafe. The restaurant is located in downtown Westmont. It is a cozy, warm room that is welcoming. This restaurant is managed by the same group that manages Topaz in Burr Ridge. The menu is different but the three kinds of fresh bread that comes with the meal is similar to the bread at Topaz. The food was good as was the service. We liked Amber Cafe but didn't find anything remarkable about it as we did with Topaz.
We have been to Amber twice and both experiences have been outstanding. The wait staff is knowledgable and attentive. The food is always well prepared with fresh ingredients. They have a well appointed wine list. It is the perfect date night, neighborhood find.
Food was imaginative and well prepared, and the service was solicitous but not intrusive. We will return to this restaurant.
Fabulous food! We just discovered this gem last weekend. It was so good, we came back again a week later with guests!
While we don't visit Amber nearly enough I can say that when we do make time to dine at Bronko's fine restaurant we are never disappointed. It was a wet and cold Tuesday evening for this particular visit & consequently the level of activity at the restaurant was very light. This translated into impeccable service (which is always the case even when packed to the gills)and the food was, as always, fantastic. I had carpaccio to start followed by the braised short rib risotto along with a couple of glasses of a fine Meritage. My lovely bride had the beet & goat cheese salad with a substitute of spinach over arugula followed by veal tenderloin along with a couple of pomegranate martini's. On a scale of 1-10 Amber is a 17!
Honored the reservation at a prime time on Saturday night. Seated us immediately. Wonderful server, attentive, knowledgable, made great suggestions without being pushy. Food was outstanding - party of four had halibut special, beef short rib, gnocchi, and special risotto. Crab cake appetizer was delicious. Prices were more than reasonable. Wine was excellent, but a little bit pricey. Room was loud and made conversations challenging. They did not rush us in any way. We were there almost 2 1/2 hours and never once felt like they wanted us to leave. On the contrary, made us feel most welcome and paced our meal nicely. Would go back in an instant.
This was a delightful Mother's Day brunch spot with a nice variety of cold appetizers, salads, and warm entrees. It is a small location but they did a good job maximizing space and flow. I would definitely return and sample their regular menu as the brunch was very good.
I am new to the area, so I wanted to try some of the local dining. Amber Cafe was a real find. Our meal was outstanding. I had the rack of lamb and my girlfriend had the meatloaf. Our server fabian was outstanding. We had a very enjoyable time. we will be back for sure to try the outdoor area.
Gal pals went out to dinner to catch up and we had a wonderful time, meal and service were great. We weren't rushed by the waiter and he was very friendly and helpful.
Very nice restaurant and ambience. Would definitely consider it upscale dining. Very appropriate for a birthday / Father's Day event the dining experience was scheduled for. Service was top notch and the courses were properly paced. Unfortunately I do not drink wine and cannot comment on the selections, but it seemed well-appointed. Also I did not get out back to the outdoor area. I wish I would have seen this part of the establishment.
Service level was exceptional. We sent a note in advance through Opentable stating that we were celebrating our anniversary that evening and the host and waiter were very attentive to that fact. Outstanding service and an enjoyable night out overall . The only complaint was that one of the entrees was not as expected. I had the Mahi Mahi special of the evening and the fish was very dry and nearly burnt to the taste. I didn't send the dish back as otherwise we enjoyed ourselves and we've been to the restaurant several times in the past and never had an issue with the food quality. Hoping it was a one time exception. We will still be back.
Recently celebrated anniversary with dinner. Meatball appetizer pleased the wife. I would have gone for the octopus. Butter squash ravioli and pork tenderloin with sweet potato purée were delightful entrees. 8 of 9 desserts made for tough choice. Auspiciously delicious Special bread pudding with hazelnut gelato won the imaginary roll of th dice. Wait staff was friendly and efficient. Perfect evening. Wife says we must return. Why did it take so long before we ate here???
Food was very good. However, portions were small for the prices that are charged.
We dined at Amber Cafe for the first time this weekend, and were joined by another two couples who we see once a month. We're always looking for someplace new, and we're pretty fussy about everything! Well, their outdoor dining area is delightful, their bread selection is great, and we all enjoyed our meals, sharing tastes around the table. Would definitely go to Amber Cafe again, and recommend it to others!
We love Amber - the food is always perfect, and the service is great.
Wonderful atmosphere - within a smaller space there are 3 distinct settings so depending on your mood there is something for everyone. Always terrific service and great food creations. They have always taken exceptional care of us, and for special occasions they have done something special to make it even more memorable.
Just great food, great service. Top of the line experience.
Amber is a non-pretentious night out with a fine menu, moderate wine list and professional wait staff. You won't be disappointed, and you can dine inside or outside given the weather and your preference.
My husband made this reservation after we had eaten at Amber Cafe for a private event about a year ago. We hadn't been back since, and we wanted to go somewhere close to home for a nice dinner. He made the reservation on Saturday afternoon for the patio, and it was a beautiful evening - albeit we did not know Taste of Westmont was going on. Needless to say we parked in their lot and walked in and out to the unexpected beautiful patio. Our server, Lindsay, was very gracious and attentive. The food was spectacular as well. I ordered the scallops and my husband ordered the white fish. Both dishes were prepared wonderfully. We will definitely be back to dine with friends. Sit out on the patio weather permitting.
Outstanding cuisine, ambiance, and service. Truly a find in Westmont. Amber Cafe would be a standout in any neighborhood in Chicago.
We had a wonderful anniversary experience. Warmly greeted at the door by Laura. Our server, Kolnita, suggested the day's halibut which was wonderful. The watermelon salsa was a wonderful sweet contrast to the halibut. My wife's steak was cooked to perfection. The dinner was started with delicious grilled and chilled shrimp and ended with a tasty piece of peach bread pudding topped by a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Laura serenaded us with "Happy Anniversary". When our server saw that we wanted to dance, she turned up the music a bit and changed to something a little bit easier to dance to. It truly was a memorable dining experience and we will definitely be back.
If you live in the western suburbs you mst eat here! The food, ambiance and service were all outstanding. If you're looking for a City caliber restaurant in the burbs, this is it. A very nice compact wine list with some delicious mid priced wines along with a heavy hitting reserve list for special occassions. Please support this great restaurant, it is an awesome place to have in our neck of the woods.
The service was impeccable, we went there for my birthday and the waiter really made me feel special!
I've been to Amber twice, and its a great place for west suburbanites to go. I will gladly return here for dinner with my wife and friends. I highly recommend Amber.
Amber is always a treat - delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere
Googled romantic restaurants in the western burbs and Amber Cafe was one of the top rated selections. Could not have been better. From the hostess to our waiter Fabian who was fabulous! For starters, smoked salmon appetizer, baked potato soup, delicious! Dinner was Braised Short Ribs with potato puree and Italian Sausage with Gnocchi and grilled asparagus, fantastic! Melt in your mouth cheesecake for dessert followed by a glass of port wine was the end of a perfect anniversary dinner!! We didn't go to the bar as it was in the back, but we will be definitely be going back soon!
It was not very busy, but I hope it stays busy because I would like to come back! Great wine list and really good selection of apps and entrees at a mid range price. Wait staff was great and it was run very professional, which is nice.
My wife and I had a very nice evening at Amber. We had Filet Mignon, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and a bottle of Pinot Grigio. A delightful, conversation filled evening in a pleasant environment.
Amber is a gem in the western suburbs. My husband and I often drive into the city for dinner, but with Amber, we have everything the city offers plus the short commute. The food and service are outstanding. We love this place!
This was our ninth or tenth dinning experience at this restaurant. The food is always great! Hospitality is tops. Our waiter, however, was a bit un-attentive this time around. The place was not that busy and we found ourselves having to wait for service several times during the evening. We will definitely continue to dine there but will ask to be served by someone else.
I've eaten here several times and the food, drink and service is always great. The beef carpaccio is always a favorite appetizer and it didn't disappoint. This time I had the Amberger for dinner - an absolutely delicious burger and one of the best I've eaten. Another great dish that evening was the Amish chicken. Always a great dining experience!
One of this nicest restaurants I have ever been to, 10 out of 10. Food was amazing staff awesome. Lovely in side. I have found my new favorite resturant . Can't wait to go back :)
We had a group of 6 and it was all our first time. We all loved it! It had a beautiful modern decor and fun bartender. The food was amazing and loved the presentation of everything. The wine list was very good. Our server was great up until the very end. I think he just got busy and forgot about us. I would go back again! It reminded me of something you would find in the city.
I felt like I was downtown! Great city hot spot vibe!
Menu choices were great. Beautiful presentation of food. We all had the whitefish. Decent wine list. Private room for a party.

Bonhams Brings Baumberger Collection to Auction in Gstaad
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions
Though lacking the gullwing doors that made it famous, the Roadster version of the classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL remains as sought-after by collectors as the winged coupe. And one particularly desirable example is set to cross the auction block next month in Gstaad, Switzerland.
One of only 209 examples made with the aluminum engine, this 1962 model was part of the collection of one Peter F. Baumberger, a noted gentleman racer, collector and enthusiast, founder of the Ferrari club in Switzerland. Baumberger passed away last year, and his collection of 19 automobiles will go to the highest bidder without reserve at the Bonhams event on August 20. Pre-sale estimates place the SL – the highlight of the collection – at around half a million.

General Vimeo Questions #
- What is Vimeo? #
Vimeo is a friendly place where people who take and love videos can share, watch, discover, and be inspired.
- How do I pronounce Vimeo? #
Vim (rhymes with him) ee (rhymes with bee) oh (rhymes with go). Vim-ee-oh is the correct pronunciation. It's like video with a "me." Or just try your best!
- Will Vimeo always be free? #
Yes, Vimeo will always offer a free service for our users. To help support Vimeo and take advantage of all the great tools and features we offer, we recommend upgrading to Vimeo Plus for $9.95 per month. Visit vimeo.com/plus to upgrade your account. If you'd like to use Vimeo for your business, Vimeo PRO is the perfect solution for businesses and companies who want a simple, high-quality platform to host their commercial content. Visit vimeo.com/PRO to upgrade your account.
- How do I get involved in the Vimeo Community? #
One of the best aspects of Vimeo is our friendly community. Participating in the community is completely optional but we think you'll find it worthwhile.
The best way to get started is to upload something you've created. Vimeo Members will see you're an interesting and creative individual just like them. You should also watch videos and give feedback. When you're perusing Vimeo and you encounter a video you like, leave a comment. Tell that person what you think, why you like the video, or even what you think might help make it better. You can also click the 'Like' button to show your appreciation. Not only does this give the owner of the clip a good feeling, but now they're also more likely to check out your videos in return. Then, if they comment on and 'Like' your clips, your videos will be brought to the attention of their contacts, which will help increase the amount of views and activity your clips receive.
Follow people! If you see someone's videos you like, go ahead and follow them. That way you'll see what they upload as well as the videos they 'Like' on Vimeo. The more you interact, the more members of the community you'll meet.
Get involved in the Community Forums. Try looking in the Screening Room Forum to see if there are any cool projects you can participate in. If you're new, Vimeo Weekend Projects are a great way to start making videos and have fun with people from all over the world.
As long as you're respectful and explore the creative videos our members are making you can have a swell time on Vimeo. Explore and have fun!
- I don't know how to make videos. Where do I even start? #
Anyone can make videos. All you need is a camera and a little inspiration. Take a look at videos on Vimeo to see what other people are creating. Some people shoot videos with their phone or a digital point and shoot camera, while others are professionals with lots of expensive gear. Regardless of your expertise level, there's no shortage of great videos on Vimeo to inspire you and we love any kind of video you create.
If you're a beginner, you can start by enrolling at Vimeo Video School. Don't worry, it's free! Vimeo Video School is a fun place for anyone to learn how to make better videos. We recommend starting at Video 101, a fun, basic guide to making videos.
Once you're ready to jump in, try making a video of what's in your fridge and uploading that. If you're feeling slightly more jazzed, try editing a video using an editing program. Most computers come with some sort of basic editing software, and the more you practice editing video with it, the more rewarding it will be. Or you can use our free iOS, Android, or Windows Phone 7 apps to edit footage and upload videos right from your phone. To practice editing a video, try making a 5 Vignettes - 5, 5 second video clips put together to make a short video. As you become more familiar with editing, try to make videos that are similar to the ones you enjoy on Vimeo. You can also join different Groups and ask other users questions about how they make their videos.
Go for it!
- What are the recommended settings for uploading a video? #
Compressing a video reduces the file size. While it can take time to compress a video, it will result in a faster upload, and also a faster download for anyone you choose to share the original file with. We strongly recommend you compress your videos before uploading them to Vimeo. That way you'll be able to upload more videos!
Take a look at our Compression Guidelines for the best advice on compressing your videos.
Please note: Our encoders don't like Apple ProRes codecs. They're intense codecs that don't play nice with our machines. If you opt to use your own settings, please avoid using Apple ProRes.
- How do I upload a Video? #
Go to the upload page. Or, you can click the 'Upload a video' button on the home page, or find the 'Upload' link in the top navigation. Those will all bring you to the upload page where you can upload your video. Make sure you have carefully read the rules for what kind of videos you can upload (only ones you make yourself!) and hit the 'Choose a Video to Upload' button, select the file you want to upload from your computer, and hit 'Select' (or 'Choose'). Your video will magically start uploading to Vimeo and you'll see a progress bar telling you how long it will take.
Note: slower connections and large files will take longer, so please be patient.
After your video is finished uploading, it will go through a conversion process. You can monitor that process with a progress bar as well. While the video is converting you may leave that page and Vimeo will send you an email when it's finished. Pretty easy, right?
- If something goes wrong, or doesn't work, what should I do? #
Try again! Sometimes the best way to fix a problem is to try it again. If it still doesn't work after multiple attempts, try holding down the shift button on your keyboard and pushing the reload button on your browser. This resets the cache in your browser, which will often clear up persistent problems. If this method still doesn't work, quit your browser, reopen it, and try again. If the problem still persists, take a look in the Help Center for answers.
- Can I use Vimeo for my business or for commercial purposes? #
You can only use Vimeo for business or commercial purposes with the purchase of a Vimeo PRO account. Vimeo PRO is the perfect solution for businesses and companies who want a simple, high-quality platform to host their commercial content. It's also the cheapest, high-quality business hosting solution on the interweb. Seriously… we checked. You can find out more about Vimeo PRO at vimeo.com/PRO.
For more information about using Vimeo, please read the Community Guidelines.
- How do I get people to watch my videos? #
Vimeo is a vibrant community of intelligent and creative people. We encourage you to find people who share your interests and connect with them here.
How do you do that? Interact with people!
The more you interact with the community by liking and commenting on their videos, the more inclined they'll be to return the favor. To start, we recommend joining some Groups that pique your interest and following Channels that tickle your fancy. And why not try participating in some of the great Vimeo projects happening in our Screening Room Forum?
- How do I get my videos featured? #
Our staff features videos that they feel show what Vimeo's all about. If you'd like to have your video considered as a Staff Pick, use the shoutbox to post a link to your video and we'll do our best to check it out. Please refrain from sending messages to Staff members to watch your videos, that doesn't actually work too well.
- How do I log out? #
You can log out either by selecting 'Log Out' under Me from the top navigation menu, or going directly to vimeo.com/log_out.
- Is there any cool Vimeo merchandise? #
Yes! We have Vimeo t-shirts available through our friends, Busted Tees. Visit bustedtees.com/vimeo to collect 'em all!
- Is there a hi-res Vimeo logo available for download? #
You can find hi-res Vimeo logos on our Brand Guidelines page. Just scroll down to the Logo Downloads section!
- How do I confirm my email? #
If you still haven't received your confirmation email, please make sure you're checking the email you used when you signed up for Vimeo. Be sure to check your spam filter. It may take a little while for the email to get to your inbox, so please be patient.
Have you tried this yet?
- Look in your spam box.
- Go to your spam filter and allow emails from Vimeo.com.
- Make sure you are checking the email you used to sign up for Vimeo.
- Did you spell your email address incorrectly when signing up?
If you can't find your verification email, you can quickly verify your account by connecting to Facebook or Twitter.
If you still need help, please let a moderator know in our Help Forum.
- Is Vimeo available in other languages besides English? #
Yes! Si! Ja! Mais oui! Vimeo is now available in English, Spanish, German, and French.
If one of those languages is detected in your browser's settings, Vimeo will automatically display the same language. To switch to a different language, scroll down to the bottom of any page and find the "Language" menu on the right side of the site footer. Click the name of the language that is currently displayed, and then you'll see an option to choose between English, Español, Deutsch, and Français.
Alternately, you can choose your desired language on your Account Settings.

Click here to access full coverage of Hogan Lovells in The Lawyer UK 200 2013. Featuring the UK's leading law firms ranked by turnover, as well as extensive benchmarking data, the report is a comprehensive market intelligence resource for the UK legal sector.
Asia Pacific
No. of Lawyers: 204
Offices: 9
Patrick Sherrington, the recently installed Asia and Middle East managing partner at transatlantic law firm Hogan Lovells, argues that his firm's global practice has intrinsic balance: "For a global law firm, we are very well hedged," he says, pointing to internal figures showing that about 45 per cent of the practice's revenue derives from the US, 45 per cent from Europe (split evenly between London and the continent) and the remaining 10 per cent from elsewhere.
That leaves plenty of opportunity for the firm in the Asia Pacific and Sherrington is not reluctant to set out his stall. "Asia is a major growth area, and we're currently getting less than 10 per cent of our income from the region. We've got a lot of lawyers there and I think a firm such as ours should be deriving a greater percentage of its business from Asia. So it will be a focus in the future."
The firm describes China as being an "obviously a critical market", and one that has been successful for the practice historically, but even more so since Lovells and Hogan & Hartson merged
Elsewhere in the region, the firm cites Japan and Singapore as the other two main pieces of its Asia-Pacific network. But now the practice is turning its attentions to developing areas in the region, not least with ambitious aspirations in Ulaanbaatar.
The Asia Pacific profile is an edited version of a full write-up that appears in The Lawyer Asia Pacific 150, a comprehensive analysis of the legal market in the region that ranks the top 100 local firms and leading 50 international players by headcount.

Catch Your Spirit with the Energy of Seva
The idea of selfless service (seva also sewa) is an important concept in most yogic traditions. Because Spirit is perceived as having a relationship with others, as well as oneself, serving other people is considered an essential devotional practice of indirectly serving Spirit. Seva is all about service to make life easier for others.

Meaning of Name: "X" resembles the unexpected and the anomalous. It is the unknown, the variable a person has to figure out, and it represents the outcasts of the in-crowd. It is the variable that seems as if it has no vitality. But when the true meaning is discovered, it is extremely powerful, leaving a person oblivious of what to expect. "Phaze" signifies the phases encountered throughout life that fuse together with the inability to be fazed. We give you X- Phazed Reach for the stars and "Catch Your Dream" Hosted by: Penny Jean

If the first Orientale creates an impression of being somewhere in the Middle East, the second work, Caprice oriental (Allegro assai), brings the listener much closer to Constantinople. Stojowskis Turkish opus is a wild and exciting bacchanal, full of power and virtuosic bravura. A rhythmic ostinato leads the piece to its frenzied climax and dominates it from beginning to end.
Rafael Kammerer wrote that the work is quite remarkable and wonderfully idiomatic. It is a worthy substitute for, and welcome relief from, Balakirevs Islamey. This original and breathless pianistic tour de force was written for the composers compatriot and life-long friend, the pianist Josef Hofmann, who kept the work in his repertoire for over forty years, and added two arpeggiated A minor chords as an introduction when he performed it. (The score for this version of Caprice oriental, prepared by Fredric Dannen, is available from the University of Southern California Polish Music Centers Website. This is the first of several planned editions of Stojowskis music to be made available online.)
The Deux Orientales were published in 1894 by E Hatzfeld in Leipzig and London. The first is dedicated to Paul Bergon and the second to Josef Hofmann.

The good news is that these curtains are just about what the description offers. They are petroleum-based fabric that serves its darkening and insulating purposes well and even looks good enough. But they certainly offer no glamour or upgrading. In fact, one of their virtues is that they seem to recede into the background of the room. If I remember to pull them, the following morning the room is less chilly than if I do not. I like that. I will say that if I wanted badly enough to keep things warm or dark, I would buy two sets and have them hang more loosely. As it is, I am covering 86 inches of window with 84 inches of curtain and getting an acceptable minimum of return. Two other notes. The grommets are good and large making it easy to open or close the curtains with little effort. And, the olive color I ordered was much as shown and is not garish or cheap looking. I'm satisfied all 'round with this purchase including the rapid shipping and condition of the curtains on receipt.
LOVE this product. Thick, luxurious fabric - same color front and back - that hangs like a dream. Quality and value in this product. Love it so much, I have purchased 3 sets. Tip: to remove packing wrinkles, toss in dryer and let spin for 10 minutes. The wrinkles will fall out when drapes are hung.
I purchased 5 prs of these curtains in CHOCOLATE BROWN for a new addition to our home. These curtains hang very nicely and are a great addition to our new room! Had bought some cheaper curtains also, but they couldn't stand up to the curtains from Overstock!! I am now considering purchasing another pr in a different color for a bedroom. LOVE THEM!!
The curtain color is significantly darker in person than represented (beige, looks more like taupe or tan). I have had blackout curtains before that truly were impervious to light, but these show a little light through the material of the curtain. However, they are much more naturally draping than the truly blackout curtains I had before. So, these curtains do dim the room quite a bit, but you can always tell if the sun is up or not. The material has a nice feel to it and looks very substantial, nice texture. Too bad they missed the color, I find the beige much too dark for my decor. Overall I find this product functional but not quite as represented, but I will live with it for the price.
I liked the feel and the look of the olive panels I ordered. However, the lengths of the two panels were a couple inches different. Also, one of the panels jutted up a couple inches from one end to the other. It was impossible to make them look good next to each other, so I had to return them.
I only have these in my living room, but I was surprised to find that was enough to keep the thermostat in my small house set two degrees cooler, because I don't lose heat through the windows. They are saving me money. They are definitely blackout curtains too. I wasn't happy with the color selection that was left when I purchased them, but it works. I bought another pair in a color I like for my drafty home office and I'm also going to get some for my bedroom.
I work night shift so need something that will keep the light out during the day. These with the cellular shades are just perfect! They had quite a few wrinkles out of the box, but straightened up nicely after a day or two. Would recommend for anyone they are great!
I bought two sets of these and loved them so much I just bought another set. Delivery was super fast.. I ordered them on a Monday and they came on a Wednesday! Can't beat the price on these also.
This curtain are great! They keep the cold out for at least 20 %. They also look great and excellent black out. I recommend them to my sister and a friend that is going to get them too.

Lauren Conrad is engaged
Former reality TV star broke the news on her website with ring pic
Too bad "The Hills" are so far in the past -- we would've loved to see the MTV reality show tackle a wedding episode.
That reality series' former star, Lauren Conrad, is now engaged to her boyfriend, William Tell.
The 27-year-old broke the news on her website, along with a picture of the sophisticated sparkler:
"I am very excited to share with you guys that William and I got engaged over the weekend," Conrad wrote on Sunday. "I am beyond thrilled!"
Conrad began dating Tell, a musician/law student, in 2012, and hasn't been shy about sharing the highlights of their romance.
"Just looked at the calendar and realized it was a year and a half ago today that I met this guy," Conrad wrote on August 14. "And I sure am glad I did."
Thus far, Conrad's fans have been as supportive as her friends reportedly have been.
"William and I are overwhelmed by all of your warm wishes," she said Sunday. "Thank you so much for sharing in this special moment."
Conrad wasn't the only "Hills" alum with special news this weekend. Her ex-boyfriend, Jason Wahler, married model Ashley Slack on Saturday.

• The very first burn of a pillar candle is the most important. • Cut wick to 1/4'' before lighting. • Allow your candle to burn one hour for each inch of diameter to create a wax pool. • For example; a candle that is three inches in diameter should burn for 3 hours. • The liquid wax should reach the edge of the candle but not spill over. • Put out the flame and let the candle solidify before the next burn.
Candle Burning Safety
• Remove all decoration and packaging before lighting. • Cut wick to 1/4'' before lighting each time. • Always place your candle on a fireproof surface or holder. • Place your candle in a draft free location. • Discontinue use when only ½'' of wax remains in its base. • Never leave a burning candle unattended. • Never attempt to move a burning candle. • Allow it to cool before handling. • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Landing the job you want is sometimes easier than you think, but getting ahead at that job and being a standout is not always so easy. There are people who search far and wide to the secret of success and come up empty. The problem is they are straying too far away from the pack. What they need to be doing is keeping it simple. There is no substitute for the principles of hard work and accountability.
Hard work is a taboo word to many but it's the one thing that will always get you noticed. Now, just because you work hard doesn't mean you will always do the best job, but trust yourself and your abilities and know that everything is easier when you put in the work. This means putting in a few extra hours when needed. You'll need to keep limits because you don't want anything to take over your life, but you'll have to do more if you want to get noticed.
Accountability is a different word but it's not far off from hard work. What it means is that you have to take pride and responsibility in the things that you do. This means that if you are going to be taking on the chore of doing something you should be the one to see it through. If something goes wrong than you are going to have to deal with it. This is just how it has to be and there is no reason to think it should ever be otherwise. If you keep accountable for the things that happen then you will be closer to getting ahead at your job.

What factors should you consider when choosing a treatment center for an addict? The idea of enrolling a family member in an addiction center may cause many emotional issues in the family. Some persons may be in favor of allowing the person to keep his or her place in the family even as the treatment is in progress. However, chances of the person suffering a relapse is very high if he or she is encouraged to live in the same environment in which addiction occurred. A change of place and a change of environment is very important.
Many persons choose addiction centers as if they are choosing a hotel for holiday. Basic facilities and amenities must be there but one must focus on the rehabilitation process and the treatment process before focusing on any other reason. If the treatment is not holistic and if the rehabilitation is not good enough, chances of the person suffering a relapse will automatically increase. Remember, tackling a relapse is always going to be tougher as compared to the initial rehabilitation process. The best option is to choose a center that combines the physical, mental and spiritual solutions to make the problem go away permanently.
It is also important to consider the cost of treatment. Bringing the family to bankruptcy just to treat the person may leave the addict full of guilt. The rehabilitated person may seek drugs once again to get rid of the guilt of having cost the financial downfall of the family.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Franc, La Confession possesses impressive density and richness with soft, smooth tannins. It should drink well for a decade.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Cumberland Reserve Pinot Noir, has a bright and pure color which is deep ruby red throughout.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a structured, fruity wine that has ripe strawberry and red plum flavors. Its tannins are condensed at the core, and the finish is marked by refreshing acidity. The vineyard is wholly owned by Faiveley."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Aromas of blueberries and minerals, with hints of flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Chewy, yet polished."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Producer's Note: Blend: 48% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot ..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Pretty textbook Brunello with smooth bright berry nuances packed in a traditional, tight body. Good acidity and firmness with well structured, silky tannin."

The Lyons Lions varsity football team began their season Saturday with a three-hour bus ride to Ellicott, a friendly little town east of Colorado Springs and home of the Thunderhawks. It ended with 13-12 victory for the Lions, making the journey well worth it for players and fans alike. What happened in between, though, was a hard fought game between two evenly matched and
Read more: Defense Shines In Season OpenerAfter a successful spring on the track and a summer of consistent work putting in miles and building core strength, the boys' cross country team returns stronger than ever. In Colorado 2A division's run five, score three format, the defending state champion Lions are once again expected to crush their small school competition all through the season. They figure to be so dominant that they are unanimously ranked number one in Colorado Milesplit's preseason coaches' poll.
Beyond a goal of defending their 2012 league, regional, and state titles, the Lions hope to earn one of the few coveted team spots at the Nike Southwest Regionals' post-season championship race in Mesa, Arizona. Here, each team position through five (better yet seven) is critical, as the best teams from across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah face off in this all-classification race. It's a big aspiration for a small school, and any injuries through the season could quickly derail their dreams. Towards meeting this post season goal, expect to see the Lyons' boys battling "David and Goliath style" at competitive, key meets throughout the season, beginning with their running up in the 4A-5A division of the prestigious Saint Vrain Invitational on their home course.
From their 2012 state championship team, the Lions bring back their top four runners. Paul Roberts returns for his sophomore year as the defending individual 2A state cross country champion, as well as the 1600M state champion from the spring track season. Roberts made his mark last year as the first freshman boy in Colorado history to win a cross country state title. Senior Marcel Such competes in his final high school cross country season after placing fourth at the 2012 state cross country meet and winning the 3200M title at the state track meet. Joel Such was the other fast freshman from Lyons last year, finishing 8th at the cross country state meet and finishing the track season as the fourth ranked freshmen in the state across all classifications in both the 1600M and 3200M.
Junior Matt Dillon had an excellent sophomore campaign with his fifteenth place finish at last year's state cross country meet. Dillon easily maintains his position as Lyons' vital fourth runner and will be aiming for a top-ten finish at state this year. Vying for the fifth spot will be senior Heath Fesenmeyer and junior Brian Flynn. While Fesenmeyer plays baseball in the spring, he has made great strides in his running over the course of the year and comes into the season with a solid summer of training behind him. Flynn focused on middle distances during the spring track season, however his strong suit is longer distances and should never be counted out as a worthy competitor. Another boy to watch is senior Stephen Roberts, who has traveled from his home in Cambodia to live with his Uncle Mark Roberts' family and attend Lyons High School for the fall semester. Stephen Roberts has been running well, adding yet another talented young man to the Lion's roster.
The Lady Lions return as the runner up team from last year's state cross country meet and will again be chasing a strong Hotchkiss team, which not only took the 2013 state team title, but is back with all five of last year's state participants. Lyons brings back three of their five state participants, and these girls have diligently trained all through the summer in hopes of challenging the defending state champions. While they go into the season ranked second in Colorado Milesplit's preseason poll, the Lyons girls should never be underestimated, as they work together towards a common goal.
Leading the girls will be senior Miriam Roberts, who placed second at last year's state meet and is a favorite to take this year's state title. Roberts had a fabulous track season placing second in both the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. If all falls into place, Miriam and Paul Roberts may become the first ever siblings to take duo state championship titles at the Colorado State Cross Country Championship. Last year's freshman standout, Sierra Tucker, returns for her sophomore year and is positioned to be a key contributor. Tucker was the Lions' third scorer with a fifteenth place finish at last year's state meet; she also finished ninth in the 1600M at the state track meet last spring. Junior Faith Myers was Lyons' fourth finisher at last year's state cross country meet with a twenty-second place finish and will be aiming to improve her position this year. Talented middle distance runner, junior Jenna Anderson, found herself watching her teammates from the sideline last year, as she sustained an injury, which ended her season prematurely. Anderson came back to run well last spring, placing 6th in the 800M at the state track meet, and is posed to make a substantial contribution to this year's team efforts. A fifth competitive state runner was thought to be coming up from the middle school ranks in Ceann Udovich. Though currently serving as team manager, a serious injury sustained on the soccer field has postponed her debut cross country season of actual competition. Look forward to watching Udovich on the track next spring.
Best of luck to Coach Roberts, Coach Boelé, and all the athletes for a healthy and successful season!

Read more: Proud & LoudDear Lyons Community,
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about whether or not to support a new library facility for Lyons, but I was disappointed to recently read unfair and inaccurate criticism leveled at the Library Steering Committee.
Creating a 21st century multi-media library in Lyons has long been a community goal. In 2008, the Economic Development Council prioritized a better library as one of its key economic development strategies based on empirical evidence of the links between a good library and downtown economic
Read more: Unfair And Inaccurate CriticismDear Editor:
Next week, the County Commissions will vote on whether to form a new library district in the greater Lyons area. If the district is formed, the existence of the Library Steering Committee (LSC), which has lead the effort to create a new library/resource center in Lyons, will end. With this (hopeful) transition in mind, let's take a moment to consider what the LSC has accomplished.
Let's begin with what the LSC was designed to do, and not do. Composed entirely of volunteers, but with no budget or bank account, the LSC's purpose was to gather community input, study possible sites, determine costs and library features, and get a library district formed. The new

Lyons area residents will have the chance to see for themselves on Thursday, August 29, when the Boulder and Larimer County Commissions will hold a rare joint public hearing at Lyons Town Hall. The hearing is set for 5 p.m., with a short tour by the Commissioners of the current Depot Library (likely to occur just prior to the hearing).
The idea for a combined public hearing arose at prior separate Commission meetings concerning the Lyons Library Project Steering Committee's requests to establish a new regional library district, and approve a tax mill levy ballot measure to fund the district. The Commissioners themselves

Among the 41 calls to 911, one stands out. In the 27-second call, the sounds of at least 30 shots ring out amid the chaos.
At some point, according to Pearson, one of Holmes' weapons jammed.
"Had the AR-15 not jammed, he would have killed more people," she said.
Investigators found 76 shell casings in the auditorium. Most of the spent rounds -- 65 -- were .223 caliber rifle rounds, six were shotgun shells and five were .40 caliber rounds from the Glocks, Appel said. Police also found one of the tear-gas canisters inside the theater, Appel said.
Also located was a large drum magazine for the rifle that appeared to have jammed, Sgt. Gerald Jonsgaard testified Monday.
The rifle cartridges were steel-core rounds, which are more likely to pass through a body intact and can cause multiple wounds, Fyles testified.
The movie theater's video system didn't capture anything from inside the theater but did capture the aftermath -- streams of terrified patrons running from the theater.
On Monday, police who were first to arrive described an eerie scene, stepping into a movie theater with "Batman" still blaring from the screen, blood from badly wounded victims flowing in the aisles and cell phones ringing over and over again, without answer.
Outside, the first officer to encounter Holmes -- who was still dressed in body armor, a helmet and a gas mask as he stood near his car -- described him as unnaturally relaxed. In fact, from Holmes' appearance, Officer Jason Oviatt thought he was a fellow police officer.
A trail of blood led from the theater. The rifle that authorities believe Holmes used in the attack lay on the ground near the building. Holmes was just standing there, Oviatt testified Monday.
"He seemed very detached from it all," Oviatt said.
Holmes, his pupils dilated, sweating and smelly, didn't struggle or even tense his muscles as he was dragged away to be searched, Oviatt said.
Police would cut off the body armor he wore and learn from him about the explosive booby-trap at his home.
The interrogation
Police described a strange scene in the interrogation room -- Holmes sitting in his underwear, T-shirt and white socks after police had had cut away his body armor -- making puppets of the paper bags officers had placed over his hands to preserve gunpowder evidence, according to Appel.
Holmes played with his polystyrene drinking cup as if it were a piece in a game. Appel said. Then he removed a staple from the table and tried to stick it in an electrical outlet, the detective testified.
Asked by a defense attorney whether he had ordered a blood test for Holmes, Appel said he had not.
"There were no indications that he was under the influence of anything," he said.
