Multi-facet Rating of Product Reviews
- Stefano Baccianella, Andrea Esuli, and Fabrizio Sebastiani
Characteristics Summary
|Hotel reviews
|Sentiment Classes
|5-star rating
|Aspect Detection Method
|Sentiment Analysis Method
|Ordinal regression (ε-support vector regression, LibSvm implementation used)
|Sentiment Lexicon
|General Inquirer
Performance Summary
|Rating prediction
|Averaged over all aspects
|MAEμ: 0.733
First off, let me say that this is not really a fully-fledged aspect-level sentiment analysis paper. It is however related to it, so it might be interesting for aspect-level sentiment analysis as well. The method proposed by the authors is based on ordinal regression, which means that it is not only able to discern multiple labels or classes, but also that it will recognize that the labels are ordered. A more fine-grained sentiment analysis can of course be useful, but it is also much harder.
The reason that this research is not completely relevant for aspect-level sentiment analysis is as follows. Each review has a global rating, and optional ratings for seven pre-defined aspects. Besides the main dataset, representing the global rating, seven more sets are created by only including reviews that have a rating for that particular aspect. By training a separate classifier on each of the subsets, a classifier is learned for each of the pre-defined aspects.
Vector Representations of Product Reviews
Instead of focusing on tweaking the classifier function, the authors have chosen to focus on feature design and selection. First, a baseline is created by just using the traditional Bag-of-Words representation. The idea is to start here, and move to more sophisticated representations to overcome the limitations of a BoW representation. As discussed more at length in the paper, while useful for text classification, the BoW model is not very useful for sentiment classification. A good example given is that "A horrible hotel in a great town" would have the same vector representation as "A great hotel in a horrible town", while expressing opposite sentiment towards the hotel.
To move away from the BoW model, the text is first processed by a Part-of-Speech tagger and the resulting tags are used to extract three simple patterns. In this way, the BoW model is enriched with (hopefully) meaningful phrases as features. See picture below for the set of patterns used.
A nice advantage of these patterns is that they can be used to find sentences with different structure but with identical semantics. Thus, canonical forms can be defined in which the expressions that match the patterns can be converted. This will both reduce the number of distinct but semantically equivalent features and increase the robustness of the canonical forms since they will have a higher count. Last, POS-tagging allows simple negations to be found. This is used to avoid the collapse of statements with their negated counterparts into one feature.
Using the General Inquirer lexicon, positive and negative words in the extracted phrases are replaced by [positive] and [negative] tags and these updated phrases are also added as features. Furthermore, since the General Inquirer also provides more detailed sentiment annotations, these are used as well and the results are also added as features. An example of such features can be seen in the table below:
Feature Selection
The classifier now has many features that it can use to predict the rating of a hotel review: all words, all extracted patterns, all simple GI (General Inquirer) expressions, and all enriched GI expressions. However, the dimensionality of all these features combined is very large, which is the reason to add an additional feature selection phase. A so-called filter approach is chosen, where each feature's discriminative power is measured and only the t most discriminative features are retained. Two feature selection methods are devised and tested.
The first is called minimum variance and it is based on measuring the variance of the distribution of a feature across the labels of the scale (the 5 stars), keeping the ones with the least variance. The intuition is that a good feature is able to discriminate a small portion of the ordered scale from the rest, and that features with minimum variance are such features. This method is referred to as MV in the results table.
The second is an extension of the first in that it addresses its major shortcoming: in an extreme scenario, the minimum variance method will choose a lot of features that are very good at finding one particular portion of the ordered scale, but doing that it won't have any features to discriminate between the other portions of the scale. The proposed solution is:
- Provisionally assigning each feature to the label closest to its average label value
- For each label, ranking its associated features
- Enforcing a round robin policy so that each label can pick its best feature and add it to the selection.
This method is referred to as RRMV in the results table.
The dataset for this experiment can be found here (it is the TripAdvisor set). As an evaluation measure the mean absolute error is used (MAE), which is the average deviation between the predicted label and the true label. Both the standard micro-averaged (MAEμ) and the newly proposed macro-averaged (MAEM) version of MAE are used.
As can be seen, any use of more advanced features will yield a decrease in error compared to BoW. Note that the Global column refers to predicting the overall rating for the hotel review, whereas Average refers to the average over the seven aspect-specific data-subsets. It is clear that this method works best on the overall rating, although even for aspect specific data, its performance is not that bad.

Disclaimer: This post is just for fun basically, but factual. Ignore the use of vulgar words and grammatical misbalances, they are intentional. But make sure you grab the point.
Back then, I wrote an ebook on Email Marketing on Fiverr and another one on Social Media Marketing on Fiverr. I built separate landing pages for each guide.
On the first one, due to the fact that I personally felt if someone should follow all I stated in the ebook, it'll be easy to make money, I didn't find it necessary to emphasize
"Hard Work". It was more of "It's easy, anyone can do it, you will make money" kind of emphasis.
I guess that created a wrong impression because most buyers forgot the fact that life naturally is difficult. So because I said "it's easy", which relatively is, most buyers thought once they buy, it's plug and play, money would just start flowing. Which got me wondering… Don't you want to work at all? Are you a weed smoker?
On the second one, due to the experience I had with the first, I emphasized that "This guide is not for lazy people, it's not for impatient people, you might never make money if you don't work hard".
I discovered that the first one made almost 5 times more sales than the second.
How? Why? Because our people don't want to hear the fact!!!
This is why anytime I am talking about making money online, whatever it is, I always make sure I emphasize that "hard work" part which will always put off lazy and greedy assholes.
We all know quite right that the real key to success is making great products that consumers want and putting a lot of hard work into them.
lol ….F*CK THAT!!!
It's a crazy world! And nobody likes that "
hard work" stuff.
Now, since people don't like to know the truth, information marketers have decided not to put the truth to them. So let me show you how the so-called information marketers are taking the easy way and scamming you people into giving them money! Since y'all just want fast cash, you will get it, in your dreams.
If you use websites like jvzoo/warriorplus very well, that's where you will see the craziest marketers with weird promises.
8 Tactics Information Marketers Are Using To Dupe You
They Focus On A Hopeful, Greedy And Sort Of Dumb Audience Who Want Money Ritual But Don't Want To Spill Blood:
We all know it's quite easy to scam a greedy soul since they always want more than they deserve.
These are those people who think to make money online is "a push of a button away!".
These are those people who subscribe to the idea that they "deserve" to live a good life without putting in much work.
These are those people who fantasize about "having a source of passive income that requires you just chilling in a conditioned room and getting credit alerts automatically!"
Yes. This set of people are very easy to scam. All information marketers need to do is to lay it on with a trowel and promise things that obviously do not look feasible to a sane man, but they will run and credit that account.
By the time you apply some fancy copywriting and psychology to these gullible people, they'll be willingly handing over their money like you jazzed them.
Since you all want the shortcut to riches. Information marketers will never talk to you about hard work before you buy the product since they know quite well that you don't want to hear it. And if by any means they mention that to you, you will not pay them.
They will tell you "Yes! You can bypass all that hard work, and get straight to the riches!".
All they do is just fill your gullible mind up with hope, then drain the limited cash in your wallets 😉
Now, if you are an information marketer and you want to scam greedy people of money, target people with the psychological emotions of greed and laziness. They will so pay for your product, then their eyes will open afterward, but who cares? They already paid you! Hit the restaurant ma niccur.
They Show You How Useless Your Life Is Through Pictures:
Haha! Smart ass information marketers, all hail!
They know they need to establish authority and wealth by showing cool shit they've done. They need a way to prove to you that they are living a lavish lifestyle and your existence is just useless. They do this by showing pictures of cool things their broke asses can't afford! Or edited screenshots of payments.
Mind you, if you take every interesting thing you've done in your life and shove it into a few pictures, your life seems AWESOME. Hide the awful lifestyle, no one wants to see that bruh!
Internet marketers show you pictures of them flying random first class seats.
They show you pictures of things they know you can't do, but they can, because they are ballers and you're not.
They show you pictures of bank accounts, with aggressive numbers in them. The bigger the numbers, the better conversions they get:
It's even a bonus if they add bunch of motivational speeches to the pictures.
Then the gullible lazy fools will think "Wow these guys are balling out of control because they know the secrets to wealth!" Lol…dummies!
Tactic 3:
They Tell You "You Deserve A Good Life And It Can Be Yours Only If you 'Believe'"
Buhahaha! So you didn't know you deserve a good life? You still need someone to tell you that? I think this "you deserve a good life" statement is directed mostly at hopeless and gullible people. They be like "he said I deserve a good life, OMG he cares about me".. Buahahahaha!
This is what most life coaches do. They drive people into believing them with irrational logic.
People with low self-esteem tend to buy the idea of vague-yet-plausible sounding motivation speeches. It gives them hope they never had. It makes the marketer seem like an inspirational figure and a mentor. Then they start fantasizing about the profitable output of a yet-to-be-started business…..
These kinds of generic motivational jargons directly hit that "go and pay" part of their brains. It gingers their desire to belong to a the group of made men that do little work (like strike a matchstick per day), have lots of chilling (like going to strips clubs daily), and make tons of money on autopilot (like $1000 every minute). Jokers!
Tactic 4:
They NEVER Get Into Specifics Or Tell You How Hard It Is To Make This Money. All They Do Is Give Business-y Sounding Advice
Hahaha! Since information marketers know they're targeting a very hopeless and dull audience, they don't want to tell the REAL business hectics. That stuff is too hard and work-intensive for that kind of audience to care about.
All they do is say stuff like "You Will Never Succeed If You Don't Take The Bold Step Today – David Kamdan"
Hahaha! "You will never succeed"?. They say shits to scare the gullible people. Even "David Kamdan" doesn't exist, that's a formed up line. But who cares……the idiots that will pay will never research it.
Since people don't normally want to work, they just want to put "CEO" or "Entrepreneur" on that bio. So all the information marketer needs to do is make success look like it takes an hour a week, can be done from the bed, and always returns huge money.
People don't want to see the hard part. That stuff called "work" scares the hell outta them. All they want to hear is that someone somewhere has already figured out some push-button-solution that will solve all their financial problems.
Hehehehe! I'm tired of laughing!
Tactic 5:
They Always Show Huge Numbers And Figures, No Matter How Stupid They Look
Information marketers make sure they add tons of bullshit numbers wherever they can! It doesn't matter if the context doesn't correlate!
For instance,
They'll tell you: "This website has over 1,000,000 views, I will teach you how to get that."
In the real sense, what they mean is: "In the 10years of running this website, my Google Analytics shows 1,000,000 total page visits which equate to less than 90 unique visitors per day".
They'll tell you: "My last product launched generated 7 figures million dollars!".
In the real sense, what they mean is: "Over the course of 5 years selling this product, the total revenue generated was nearly $1,000,000. But I only made $17,000 profit on it, because it was affiliate inclined. I just want you to assume that the million dollar number means profit."
Fact is, to a list of idiots, the reality is BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRINGG. So, the information marketer needs to sex them up and make them "cum" to the assumption that these aggressively high numbers mean actual profit.
If the information marketer's product sucks so bad that he doesn't even have big numbers to show…..he just makes them up!!!
Tactic 6:
They Won't Give You The Actual Information, They Just Blab About The End Benefits
Since they're trying to make away with your money in the least amount of time, they have no need to do anything helpful for you!
All they do is pump you up full of dreams and fantasies.
Tactic 7
They Will Be Ultra Aggressive When Selling These products Because They Know That Once You Buy, They Will Never Ever See You Again!
Though there are legit information marketers that do the "keeping a customer for life" thing…..but there are some that don't give a SHIT about you people! All they want is quick returns and don't care if they burn cities.
- They spam you!
- They lie to you!
- They pander to your emotional mumu buttons!
- They make you feel really stupid if you don't buy!
- They do anything (who cares if it's legal) to get you to buy!
- You exploit your FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).
They use languages like:
"How stupid do you think you'll be if you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will make you rich forever?"
"Are you going to keep looking and wallow in your miserable life working 8-5 for someone else when you can just be your own boss?"
Shits like this really turn the pressure up for mumu people to buy. It's a simple tactic that combines the two powerful psychological effects of Time Constraints and Questioning of Intelligence.
Tactic 8:
Once You Buy The Product, You Never Ever See Them Again, They Run!
Once you make the purchase, they deliver whatever product to you. They don't care if you find it useful or not. It's over. Bye bruh!
Lol! A long way. Share your views and opinions in the comment box below.

Whatever your sector, audience, platform and objectives, I can help. I provide the full range of writing services, plus critique, consultancy and coaching.
Truly effective copywriting means making sure you're saying the right things, in the right way, to the right people, at the right time.
It calls on an understanding not just of your business, but also of the market you compete in, the audiences you're aiming at and what they seek from you – and how you can stand out in the crowd by saying things that prick their ears up.
By calling on my expertise and experience, you can start communicating more persuasively… in ways that help you achieve your goals.
Communicating regularly and more socially with your audience. Reminding them you're there, and that you care. Keeping the relationship current and informal.
Just about every business or organisation does it, but not everyone does it well. A good content strategy – and consistent 'soft' messaging – can work wonders.
Reflecting your brand and its values accurately, in what you say and how you say it. Defining and applying a distinct tone of voice, and transforming how you come across.
And of course, you'll need a writer and editor who can make sure your tone of voice is consistent and 'true to you', on all channels. That's me, by the way… or I can coach your writer(s) if you prefer.
For an experienced communicator, a copy critique is a quick and simple exercise – and with me it's free. I'll tell you what I honestly think, and if I see room for improvement, I'll explain how, along with why it matters. If you agree, let's decide on the most effective way to transform what you've got, and what you create from here on.
A good copywriter understands how words, themes and imagery work together to capture people's imagination, and create remarkable and memorable campaigns.
Conceptual copywriting is a powerful way to tell stories, sell socially, and entertain existing and potential customers.
Individual or group coaching can help you improve your own writing, and I can tailor workshops and presentations to specific needs. Perhaps to help you roll out a new tone of voice or support a specific campaign, or simply to share some helpful tips for better business writing.
Let's talk about your objectives and your audience.
Time to discuss your project…

Release Date: Oct 16, 2015
Record label: Mom + Pop Music
Genre(s): Pop/Rock
There is really nothing to see here. Neon Indian is boring. Alan Palomo, the brains behind the band, has released another superb album, and like Psychic Chasms and _Era Extrana, Vega INTL. Night School_ will be credited as one of the best albums of the year. And like the aforementioned albums, the ….
Alan Palomo of Neon Indian recorded VEGA INTL. Night School over the span of four years at a number of crash pads across America, but most crucial to the album was a self-described "magical winter" the singer spent on a Carnival Fantasy Cruise ship with his brother, who played in the house band. (Insert chillwave joke here.) The album contains enough reggae and Balearic tropical breeze to prove Palomo doesn't shy away from pleasing the lido deck, but beyond the kitsch, an extended stay in a floating, inescapable city is an apt metaphor for VEGA INTL.
Neon Indian (aka Alan Palomo) is frequently pegged as an artist who pedals Instagram-filtered images of the 80s to a generation of listeners who weren't even born in the infamous decade of cocaine, capitalism and conservatism. For his third LP, Palomo has turned his attention to a more personal genre of nostalgia: the double title for this LP derives from a previous monkier: VEGA. Given it draws on Palomo's earlier dance-oriented project and was written on a cruise ship (with assistance from Palomo's brother, who was playing bass in the house-band at the time), it's a world away from Palomo's recent work with the Flaming Lips, but that's not to say this LP has any of the geriatric charm of a Caribbean cruise either.
Head here to submit your own review of this album. It is hard not to feel badly for Alan Palomo, the mastermind behind Neon Indian, in the aftermath of the leak of his third studio record, VEGA INTL. Night School. The greatly anticipated project, which has been four years in the making, was accidentally put out by iTunes for a brief period to those who had pre-ordered it and so, as Palomo put it on Twitter, his work was "prematurely spurted into the ether with grace of a burrito fart" more than a month before its official October 16 release date.
While making Neon Indian's third album, Alan Palomo turned a crisis into an opportunity: When his laptop -- which contained demos of his new songs -- was stolen at the end of the Era Extraña tour, he started anew by drawing inspiration from his past. Vega Intl. Night School takes its name and sound from his previous electronic project VEGA and his pet name for his after-dark adventures, conveying the dazzling, fleeting allure of a night out.
Funk's always been at the heart of Alan Palomo's work. The Neon Indian vanguard may have spent the past six years convincing us he's some sort of psych pop freethinker, but the facts speak for themselves. His 2011 LP Era Extraña was laced with deep lying grooves and warped skewering melodies, while his early VEGA efforts were busty bass heavy gyrations.
For the first time since his 2009 debut Psychic Chasms crystalized a new microgenre of home-brewed dance music, Alan Palomo has married together his alter egos. While he once used the name VEGA to emit flashes of pop, house, and disco too lucid to be grouped under his dreamy main gig, Neon Indian, he's now fused the party and the afterparty into the same venue. VEGA INTL.
Alan Palomo's third album as Neon Indian opens with the boastfully titled "Hit Parade"; it's nothing more than a 30-second instrumental blip that would be easy to write off as ironic self-aggrandizement, but the following 13 tracks on VEGA INTL. Night School are indeed a cavalcade of irresistible Balearic rhythms straight from the battered vaults of an abandoned Ibizan club. On VEGA INTL.
You don't tend to hear much about chillwave these days, but two or three years ago, it was very much the cooler than thou genre of the moment. Heavily indebted to the music of the 1980s, its electronic soundscapes – sometimes dreamy, sometimes funky – and ethereal vocals were typically the work of one man in his bedroom on his laptop. Mostly young Americans based in unlikely outposts like Georgia and South Carolina, they adopted suitably enigmatic names such as Washed Out and Youth Lagoon, sat back and lapped up the surge of acclaim from critics across the board.
It's always been easy to pick out the strands of dance music in the DNA of Alan Palomo's music as Neon Indian, but it's taken three albums for the dreamy synth-pop artist to really let his hair down. On this LP, Palomo peels back the layers of psychedelia that have sometimes obscured his work in the past, striving for a directness that results in the most crystallized – and accessible – version of his aesthetic yet. He accomplishes this without losing the restless curiosity of his music, which remains in constant motion (see the mutating throb of "Techno Clique").
As much as I support the resurgence of cassettes as a tool for cheap distribution, I've always been more of a sucker for the way music sounds coming out of my iPhone speakers. I mean, right here in my pocket I have a bona fide sonic filthifier that doesn't require the use of 20-year-old technology to give my jams a relatable sense of scuzz. Especially nowadays, when everything is captured in pristine HD, it's comforting to know that there's still a beautifully imperfect method of transmitting music that our generation can call its own.
It's October 2015, so here's a question - is chillwave still a going concern? The tag still seems to be following Neon Indian around, which is especially beguiling given that this is his first album in four years, or in other words, his first record since the genre actually seemed to take off. Whether or not it's going to end up filed alongside the likes of 'nu-rave' and 'nu-folk' as little more than a stylised flash in the pan remains up for debate, but regardless, 'VEGA INTL. Night School 'is evidently not the sort of record that's going to comfortably fit within the confines of one genre either way.
No musician approaches the concept of time nonchalantly, because time is fucking scary. It's the only element at play within the industry (and every other industry, for that matter) that follows its own agenda regardless of—and at times, in spite of—everyone else's. It's as capable of creating a career as it is of destroying another, and every musician afflicted takes it upon themselves to dictate exactly how much of a role it will play in the cultivation of their work.
In the late '00s, as a consolation for the disappearance of the monoculture, sentimental indie fans old enough to remember the '80s got chillwave. Codified and vilified in roughly the same internet moment, it was atmospheric electronic music meant to evoke rec-room sleepovers, rented Nintendo cartridges, cheesy sci-fi soundtracks, and other such shared experiences. As comforting as this nebulous nostalgia can be, there comes a time when you have to make new memories.
Since turning into an indie staple with 2012's "Polish Girl," Neon Indian's Alan Palomo has done some growing up. Resurrecting his original electro master persona, Palomo introduced Vega Intl. Night School with a hotline welcoming listeners with a "Hey there, sexy." The 51-minute groove compilation emulates late-night VH1 on a heavy dose of synth and a sprinkle of Eighties pop.

20th Century Fox has released the first official trailer for their reboot of Marvel's Fantastic Four. The official synopsis, as it appears at Fox's official Fantastic Four page, can be seen below.
"FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel's original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

Nursing Tip of the Week:
Topic: Allergies: Seasonal
There are many antihistamines for seasonal allergies these days.
Did you know that antihistamines work best on an empty stomach?
An empty stomach allows for a
absorption rate.
Did you also know that antihistamines are best taken with a full glass of water vs. juice?
The acid present in juices, such as orange or grapefruit cuts the effectiveness of antihistamines by as much as 45%!!!
So, the next time, you reach for your antihistamine, be sure to follow the nursing tips listed above.
Until next week, this nursing tip has been brought to you by NurseSylvia!

The great folks from Cross Creek Clays discuss their upcoming Night Stalker Shoot and Chad Roberts From California talks about his NSCA career along with his views on the PSCA.
In 1991 Chad had $400 in his pocket, his truck and his BMX bike when he made his move to Southern California to follow his dream to race BMX as a Pro. Although being a Pro was the ultimate goal he first set out to make his mark as an Amateur…. 13 years later and after winning State, National and 5 Amateur World Titles, he got his chance to turn pro and fulfill a lifelong dream. His pro career stretched over the next 4 years, where he stayed highly competitive and got to travel all over the world. He even dabbled in mountain bike racing, resulting in a couple of national titles.
In 2006, one year before he decided to walk away from the world of competitive BMX, he had his first taste of sporting clays during a bicycle race in West Virginia. Although he grew up on a ranch and had shot guns before, he had not experienced this type of shooting before and was HOOKED. Coming home to California he really didn't think sporting clays would be very popular. He soon realized that sporting clays was alive and extremely popular in Southern California.
He picked his first shotgun up on January 1, 2007, and has been at it ever since. He retired from competitive BMX in 2007 but occasionally still rides, whether it is on the BMX, Road or Mountain Bike. He even surfs a few times a week…
Shooting clays grew in him at a feverish rate. He started competing in March of 2007 and by August 2009 he had reached Master Class status. During that time, he also achieved his NSCA Level 1 Certification and began teaching at his local range, Triple B Clays in El Monte, California where he still to this day continues to teach there on weekends and any other free time he has.
He also started his own shooting instruction company called Breakpoint Shooting Instruction. Many ask, why the name? His answer: "Breakpoint is where you see the target the best and that is where you shoot it." Simple enough. He was under the tutelage of top shooter Anthony Materese Jr. Since the beginning, he always maintains that you should get a good coach from the start. Anthony is one of the best. In 2014, while Anthony went after his own goal of making the Olympic Team for Olympic Trap, Chad went out and spent the year trying to make the 2015 PSCA tour. With enough points, Chad was invited to the Semi-Final Qualifier held in Tiller, Arkansas at the Delta Resort. There is always going to be "that person" that is right on the bubble of making it and this time it was Chad. He missed the cut by one bird putting him out of contention or a possible PSCA Pro Card for 2015.
The PSCA was on his mind coming into the 2015 season. With a new Beretta DT11 and taking a major step outside the box he had been in, he decided it was time to make a change. He was approached at the 2014 National Championships by one of the best shooters and coaches in the business, PSCA Tour Pro, Wendell Cherry. Cherry noticed his drive and willingness to work hard and offered to work with him. Chad knew that, with the landscape always changing in Sporting Clays, this could be the right move. He took the offer and set forth of "rebuilding" his game with Wendell. He also knew that no taught technique could work without a good mental coach. He then approached longtime Mental Coach and good friend Mark Taylor, who has written a few books on the mental game of shooting and also is currently working with many young Olympic hopefuls. He had never worked with a sporting clay shooter before. Lastly, he has his wonderfully supportive girlfriend Jennifer, who loves to watch him shoot and keeps him looking flashy so you won't forget him, as his self-proclaimed manager. The combination was looking like a perfect path to success.
For the next 6 months, goals were built, events were entered and targets were shot, sometimes with the thought that things were not going to be as easy as was thought in the beginning. He kept at it with raw determination. Coming into the last 2 PSCA events he said the light turned on and started to see that the hard work was starting to pay off.
He went to the 2015 National Championships with some attainable goals. He stayed steady and did the work and in the end got the call that he had enough points to make the top 52 men and was eligible for his first PSCA Pro Card.
Chad doesn't have a lot of accolades in shooting. He was not honing his skills at 10 years old on the range or an avid hunter like some of the pros. Shooting was in his life at a young age, but more as a necessity than a sport. He turned to California to be a bike racer and live the beach life. When he retired from BMX, the competitive fire was still in him. Sporting clays filled that void, and that world has been absolutely wonderful to him.
He wants people to know that you don't have to live in Texas or on the East Coast to be competitive in Sporting Clays. He wants people to know that ANYBODY can do this sport, no matter who you are or where you live. You don't have to be a hunter. You can be a small-town Montana boy turned to big-city California guy like him now, and be in the mix with the best. He wants to share his knowledge with anybody who wants to learn. He says it is a great sport filled with the best people. EVERYONE should give it a try. They will like it.
He can be found teaching away at Triple B's, surfing or riding his BMX bike on any given weekend or out on the PSCA Tour trying to make a name in this sport. He is doing it for all that think they can't do it. If he can achieve the things he has in his short career, then he thinks anybody can…. He is wild and crazy and is ready to bring it to the PSCA… LOOK OUT!!! Here he comes…

When I started Fight CLL in 2010 I thought my friends and family would think the cause was great (wife had leukemia), and since it was so close they would all get behind us. Nope…not really….and it's unfortunate. We want our idea to inspire those closest to us so we can start a family empire and all will raise their hands in victory. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, I always got upset when I would talk to people and they would tell me what a great idea I had, and they were happy for me.
Then I ask if they want to help and you get the collection of excuses. People are excited and supportive as long as they don't have to do anything. Many folks have busy lives, but many settle. I thought since I was starting a wrestling company that people I know that enjoy wrestling would want to get involved. Nope…not really…and it's unfortunate. For them it is. I think these guys have settled for working in a job they hate.
It doesn't matter to me anymore if people don't want to get involved. The people I want to be part of Armchair Promoter are with us and I like our team. Don't take it personally. They can be happy for you and not want to help. I have friends who don't like wrestling, but they're happy for me.
Now some people are willing to help when you get to the position of needing help. They don't necessarily want to help you set up the whole thing, but will help you move things forward. Those people are valuable. Don't ignore the resource just because they weren't interested in the start. Are you interested in every idea immediately?
I start chopping and remember what Jim Rohn said, "Success isn't something you pursue, it's something you attract by the person you become."

Hello Everyone,
Today was the day and I did my cat scan. So now comes the wait. I think is worse then anything else. Your mind runs away with me.
Feb 04, 2012 - 1:26 am
Hi Hilde
When do you get your results? I am hoping that the wait will be as short as possible. Waiting is so very hard.
Feb 04, 2012 - 7:23 am
It's always the worst time! Let us know!!! Good thoughts your way!
Feb 04, 2012 - 9:48 am
Sweet Hilde,
One hurdle crossed, another to go. I know how stressful this moment is for you. For all
Do you have a primary doctor? I would think if you had the scan on Friday, Feb 3, the
As soon as you know, let us know. God Bless for good news. Love Maggie
Feb 04, 2012 - 4:18 pm
Hi Hilde,
Feb 04, 2012 - 4:58 pm
I want to thank You all for the kind and uplifting response. I will surely let you all know. And yes it is hard for me. And I know you all know what it is all about. I will certainly let you all know. I am sure by Wednesday I should know. I do have an appointment with the Oncologist on Friday. But I would like to know something before then. So will see. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I will be praying for you all. Much love, Hilde
Feb 04, 2012 - 4:59 pm
Sorry did not spell cat scan right. LOL
Feb 04, 2012 - 4:59 pm
Sorry did not spell cat scan right. LOL
Feb 06, 2012 - 1:52 pm
Hi Hilde,
I just had mine today and I learned two things. If you have to drink a barium cocktail 3 and a half hours before the scan, you don't schedule it for 7:40 in the morning and two hospital gowns cover you up much better than one. There is too much of me to cover with just one gown.
Hopefully every thing will be fine on your scan.
"Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due." - Will Rogers.
It is a wise saying but not easy to do.
Feb 05, 2012 - 10:37 am
Hi Hilde, I know that waiting for any type of news can be the most stressful. Please try to stay positive. I will be sending you only positive thoughts that everything turns out well for you!

For the Ativ Book 9 Spin, Samsung is doubling down on the 360-degree hinge form factor. The flippable touch display runs at an impressive 3,200 x 1,800 resolution, especially considering its 13.3-inch size. Under the hood, it boasts an Intel Core i7-6500U, a dual-core chip with Hyper-Threading, a 2.5GHz base clock, and a 3.1GHz maximum Turbo Boost.
The Ativ Book 9 Pro kicks up the performance of the Spin, while also providing an ample screen size bump to 15.6 inches. The processor in the Pro is an Intel Core i7-6700HQ, a quad-core chip with Hyper-Threading, a base clock of 2.6GHz, and a Turbo Boost of 3.5GHz. The touch display has 4K resolution. These extras add a little over two pounds to the total weight. Finally, the Pro features Nvidia's GeForce GTX 950M graphics, with 2GB of dedicated VRAM.
Both the Ativ Book 9 Pro and Spin feature an HDR-enhanced display, offering up optimized brightness and contrast settings. There's also an outdoor mode that raises the brightness on the Spin to 700nit, and the Pro to 500nit – a rating well above almost any monitor we've tested without the feature. They both start with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, a 720p webcam, and the standard connectivity suite of Bluetooth 4.1 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
Both the Ativ Book 9 Pro and Ativ Book 9 Spin will be available starting in November. The Pro will start at $1,599, while the Spin will start at a slightly cheaper $1,399. Neither of the models are particularly inexpensive, but both offer a solid feature set and performance level for the price point without skimping on the display quality.

Company Extends Term of Warrants
International Frontier Resources Corporation ("IFR" TSX-V) reported today that it had made an application to the TSX Venture Exchange to extend for a period of 90 days the expiry date of warrants issued under a brokered private placement which closed February 22, 2007. Under the placement the Company issued 12,400,000 share purchase warrants to purchase 6,200,000 shares at a warrant exercise price of $1.60 for a period of one year from closing - expiry date February 22, 2008. The Company has requested an extension of the expiry date to May 22, 2008. The extension, if approved by the TSX-V, will provide warrant holders with the benefit of knowing results of two wells in the Northwest Territories and two wells in the North Sea, UKCS. The exercise price will remain the same at $1.60. None of the warrants issued under the placement has been exercised and none of the warrants are held by directors, officers or insiders of the Company. The application for the extension of time is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

It's been a big year for WATE-TV's Lori Tucker.
On June 14, her media colleagues will honor her for her professional accomplishments at the Front Page Follies, a 40-year-old annual gala where local journalists roast local public figures and pay tribute one of their own.
"I'm so blown away and so honored by this," she said. "I could hardly believe it."
In March, Project GRAD gave Tucker its annual "Caught Doing Right for Kids" award for coming up with – and executing – the idea of giving every Project Grad graduating senior a new laptop (previously, only four students, a boy and a girl from Austin-East and a boy and a girl from Fulton, were selected by lottery to get laptops). Tucker, who has hosted the event for 15 of the past 16 years, credits many others for helping make the laptop project a reality.
"Every year there was such anticipation on those kids' faces, and only four of them could be the lucky ones. I thought, 'I want to give everybody a laptop.'
"So last year, about a month before the dinner, I went to our new general manager. Coby Cooper, who'd been here for all of two weeks. But we couldn't get enough money together to get quality laptops. I vowed to get it done this year."
She got total buy-in on her dream from her WATE colleagues and many others. Sales reps hit up their clients and the station held an all-day telethon. Even the salon that does Tucker's hair pitched in, and together they raised enough money to buy 90 new laptops.
"I was so overwhelmed," she said. "We raised enough money to get laptops worth the equivalent of $500 each. These will last them through college, and they'll be armed with something that will allow them to know that their community is proud of them and supports them."
She's hoping to make the laptop project an annual affair, and says she just got a call from someone who told her that his club wants to help raise money for next year's graduates.
"It came together so beautifully this year. Anything we ask, this community always gives," she said. "And I've never seen anything like it."
Still, the night of the ceremony was a bittersweet affair for Tucker. Her friend Zenobia Dobson was the macebearer, and everybody felt the absence of Dobson's son Zaevion, who died trying to shield his friends from a gang of gunmen in 2015.
Tucker has won too many professional and community honors and awards to list here, and after 25 years on the job, it's hard to imagine her anywhere but Knoxville, but she almost didn't get here.
Tucker's husband, Steve Wiggins, is a photographer whom she'd met when they worked at the same station in San Antonio.
("I'd vowed I'd never date anybody I worked with, but he was just too cute and funny to pass up," she said.)
They were living in Houston when WATE made its first offer. She wanted to take the job, but couldn't sell the move to Wiggins, despite the fact that he was a University for Tennessee graduate (he'd interned at Channel 26 when he was in college).
"He had a great gig at KPRC, a powerhouse station in Houston, covering the Rockets and the Oilers (who later moved to Nashville and became the Titans)," she said. "We had many a conversation about what we were going to do next. I had to turn them down and it killed me," Tucker said. "As time passed, I said, 'Man, I wish we'd taken that job.'"
She couldn't quit thinking about her first glimpse of Greystone, the Victorian mansion that houses the TV station:
"I said, 'Oh my gosh, that's a castle. Are you kidding me?"
It turned out the folks at WATE were thinking about her, too, and they devised a ploy to change her husband's mind:
"They called in April and said, 'We really want you to reconsider,' and they ended up sending Steve a football signed by Phillip Fulmer and the team. He loves that football, and we still have it."
Tucker and Wiggins have two daughters, Kelsey and Sarah, both of whom are UT graduates, and a granddaughter, Riley, who is 15 months old. After many years of anchoring both the evening and the 11 p.m. news, Tucker has rearranged her schedule to do the 4 and 6 p.m. newscasts so she can spend more time with Wiggins, who does a lot of traveling during the busy sports season, but schedules large blocks of time to spend with his family – particularly with Riley, who calls him Poppy.
So, her family is thriving, her work is fulfilling and she has become an integral part of the community. She says she cannot imagine being anywhere else.
"I've always felt this was meant we were to be."

Kenya's ruling Jubilee Party is seeking a second term in a general election on 8 August 2017. To bolster its case, on 26 June it released its manifesto.
Titled 'Continuing Kenya's Transformation Together', the document has a scorecard of what President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration achieved in their first term.
We tested the accuracy of some of the claims made in the manifesto.
The United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals propose that countries should aim to reduce under-five mortality to 25 per 1,000 live births.
Limited availability of high-quality data makes estimating child mortality "a considerable challenge", according to the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation.
In its most recent global estimates, the group notes that the best source of this data is a well-functioning civil registration system but many developing countries do not have one. As a result, household surveys such as Demographic and Health Surveys (used by more than 90 countries) have become the primary source of data.
Death registration in Kenya is a challenge. Only 45.2% of all deaths were registered in 2015, according to Kenya's Civil Registration department. In some of Kenya's 47 counties, only 5% of deaths were registered with authorities.
The UN's estimates show that there were 49 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015.
The 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey provides the most recent in–country data, Dr Elizabeth Kimani-Murage, a research scientist and the head of the maternal and child wellbeing unit at the African Population and Health Research Center, told Africa Check.
Kimani-Murage was part of a team of researchers that looked into childhood mortality trends in Kenya.
The last three demographic and health surveys (2003, 2008 and 2014) show that child mortality more than halved in that period, from 115 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2003 to 52 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2014.
2016 data shared with Africa Check by the ministry of health's vital statistics unit showed that the current mortality rate was 52 per 1,000 live births.
For under-5 deaths to have halved under Jubilee's administration the current rate would have to be at about 26 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Connecting public primary schools to the national grid has been a key plank of Kenyatta's first term which started in April 2013. To preface this claim, the manifesto said that "between 1963 and 2013, only 8,200 public primary schools had been connected to electricity". (Note: Data from the ministry of energy and the Rural Electrification Authority, the agency charged with implementing the schools plan, showed there were 10,157 public primary schools in June 2013.)
In February 2017, the presidency said of a targeted 23,951, some 22,237 schools now had electricity – an additional 12,080 schools since the electrification plan started in July 2013.
In a state of the nation address in March 2017, Kenyatta said his administration had connected 14,045 schools. In a portal launched in April 2017 to showcase the government's achievements, the figure used is "15,137 additional public primary schools connected to power in 4 years".
But in a September 2016 treasury report on the government's gains in the energy sector, some 18,241 public primary schools are said to have been connected to power since July 2013.
Africa Check unsuccessfully tried to contact the electrification authority to clarify the numbers. We also could not find independent data to corroborate official numbers. In the absence of this we rate this claim as unproven.
Kenya's installed capacity at the end of June 2013 (the Jubilee administration's first full financial year begun in July 2013) was 1,765 MW according to the 2013/2014 annual report of the Energy Regulatory Commission. The effective capacity was indicated as 1,653 MW. (Note: Installed capacity refers to the maximum theoretical electric output when operating at 100% while effective capacity is the expected output when operating constraints are factored in.)
The country's installed capacity in June 2016 was 2,299 MW, according to data from the regulator. A brief from the ministry of energy shared with Africa Check showed it rose to 2,327 MW in January 2017, a slight dip from a high of 2,341 MW due to drought.
In its latest economic survey the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics using figures sourced from national utility company Kenya Power gave provisional figures for 2016 as 2,325 MW in installed capacity and 2,253.9 MW of effective capacity.
Kenya Power spokesman Kevin Sang told Africa Check that the installed capacity including the off-grid systems (those independent of the grid such as in rural areas) was now at 2,333 MW and the effective capacity at 2,254 MW.
While installed capacity has risen in the last 4 years, it has not exceeded 576 MW, or effective capacity surpassed 601 MW.
The International Energy Agency in its 2015 report on renewable energy said that the world average of installed renewable energy capacity was at 22% in 2013, and is expected to rise to 26% by 2020.
Kenya's electricity is generated from hydropower, geothermal, wind, thermal (generator) and co-generation. For clean energy, the Energy Regulatory Commission has a portal that also counts biomass and solar power.
The 2017 Economic Survey shows that Kenya's clean energy mix as 1,496 MW – 818 MW for hydropower, 652 MW for geothermal power and 26 MW for wind. This is 64%, not "over 75%" of the current total installed capacity, which according to Kenya Power is 2,333 MW.
When the party launched its pre-election manifesto in 2013, it said there was one police officer serving 1,150 Kenyans, promising to lower this ratio to 1:800 in its first term. With its new manifesto, it has revised the ratio it inherited to 1:500.
The police to population ratio refers to the number of police officers serving a community, relative to its size. For example, if a community has 1 police officer serving 100 people, the ratio is 1:100.
The UN defines police personnel as "those whose principal functions are the prevention, detection and investigation of crime and the apprehension of alleged offenders". In its database it thus counts only officers of the Kenya Police Service who are locally known to as the regular police.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics shows there were 42,145 police officers in the service in 2013, against an estimated population of 41.8 million. This translates to a ratio of 1:992.
The economic survey, from which the UN derives its figures, places the number of regular police at 53,844 officers at the end of 2016. Some 5,971 regular police officers (i.e excluding administration officers) graduated in March, bringing the total to 59,815 police officers. The ratio falls to 1:759, and not 1:400 as the Jubilee manifesto refers to.
The claimed ratio is also pegged to an often-cited "UN benchmark of one officer for every 450 citizens". Africa Check has so far not found proof that the United Nations has ever recommended a ratio of 1:450, or any other number, as a policing guideline. (Note: For more on our research on this number see here.)
Experts Africa Check has spoken to say that given the varying functions, unique operating circumstances and abilities of police officers globally, it is unlikely that the UN would prescribe a "benchmark" ratio.

After five long years of drought, the Golden State was hit with one of its rainiest and snowiest winters on record, causing dams to overflow and 30-foot waves to pound the shore since December.
I can't get this utter collapse of a part of Big Sur out of my mind. Via @ccmasteller @USGS #LANDSLIDE pic.twitter.com/XgEdGA9Uc0— David Beard (@dabeard) May 24, 2017
Though winter is long over, its effects are lingering.The weekend's landslide is only the latest in a long series of natural disasters that have plagued California in recent months. In total, the recent natural disasters have caused $1 billion in highway damages across the state according to the California Department of Transportation (CDOT).
The landslide occurred in Big Sur, a coastal region of California. Lightly populated and remote, it is known for its state parks and rugged beauty. One of the most isolated parts of the continental United States due to its mountainous terrain, Big Sur's central tether to the rest of civilization is Highway 1, constructed in the 1930s.

The highway is now closed, as the mudslide has left a quarter-mile of the road buried and the surrounding area unstable. This endangers the tourist trade for Big Sur's multiple small communities, many of which rely on visitors seeking redwood trees and pristine beaches.
"We haven't been able to go up there and assess. It's still moving," said Susana Cruz, a CDOT spokeswoman, said in a statement. "We have geologists and engineers who are going to check it out this week to see how do we pick up the pieces."

The most recent event was the result of increased erosion due to the heavy rains, but it's been a rough season for Big Sur overall. Bridges and highways have been shut down, campgrounds and resorts have been closed, and in some cases people have had to be helicoptered out of the region.
"This type of thing may become more frequent, but Big Sur has its own unique geology," said Dan Carl, a district director for the California Coastal Commission. "A lot of Big Sur is moving; you just don't see it."

Highway 1 had already been closed before the mudslide when authorities discovered that the pavement was buckling and the road was covered in debris from earlier, smaller slides. Work crews were evacuated when they realized how unstable the region was.
Nearby Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge, also on Highway 1, had to be demolished after it was badly damaged during storms in January and February. A new bridge is scheduled to open in September.

Managing certificates for UNIX and Linux computers
This version of Operations Manager has reached the end of support, we recommend you to upgrade to Operations Manager 2019.
With System Center Operations Manager, you can deploy agents to UNIX or Linux computers. Kerberos authentication is not possible. Therefore, certificates are used between the management server and the UNIX or Linux computers. In this scenario, the certificates are self-signed by the management server. (Although it is possible to use third-party certificates, they are not needed.)
There are two methods you can use to deploy agents. You can use the Discovery Wizard or you can manually install an agent. Of these two methods, manually installing an agent is the more secure option. When you use the Discovery Wizard to push agents to UNIX or Linux computers, you trust that the computer that you are deploying to is really the computer that you think it is. When you use the Discovery Wizard to deploy agents, it involves greater risk than when you deploy to computers on the public network or in a perimeter network.
When you use the Discovery Wizard to deploy an agent, the Discovery Wizard performs the following functions:
Deployment - The Discovery Wizard copies the agent package to the UNIX or Linux computer and then starts the installation process.
Certificate Signing - Operations Manager retrieves the certificate from the agent, signs the certificate, deploys the certificate back to the agent, and then restarts the agent.
Discovery - The Discovery Wizard discovers the computer and tests to see that the certificate is valid. If the Discovery Wizard verifies that the computer can be discovered and that the certificate is valid, the Discovery Wizard adds the newly discovered computer to the Operations Manager database.
When you manually deploy an agent, you perform the first two steps that are typically handled by the Discovery Wizard: deployment and certificate signing. Then, you use the Discovery Wizard to add the computer to the Operations Manager database.
If there are existing certificates on the system, they are reused during agent installation. New certificates are not created. Certificates are not automatically deleted when you uninstall an agent. You must manually delete the certificates that are listed in the /etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl folder. To regenerate the certificates during instalation, you must remove this folder before agent installation.
For instructions on how to manually deploy an agent, see Install Agent and Certificate on UNIX and Linux Computers Using the Command Line, and then use the following procedure to install the certificates.
UNIX and Linux firewall considerations
If you have a firewall on your UNIX or Linux computer, you must open port 1270 (inbound). This port number is not configurable. If you are deploying agents in a low security environment and you use the Discovery Wizard to deploy and sign the certificates, you must open the SSH port. The SSH port number is configurable. By default, SSH uses inbound TCP port 22. For more information about firewall configuration for Operations Manager, see Configuring a Firewall for Operations Manager
Next steps
For more information on how to install the agent and understand the steps for signing the agent certificate, see Install Agent and Certificate on UNIX and Linux Computers Using the Command Line.
To understand how to perform agent maintenance on UNIX and Linux computers, see Upgrading and Uninstalling Agents on UNIX and Linux Computers.

Sober living homes, or transitional housing, provides a middle ground between a structured treatment center and full integration into society and regular everyday life. A sober living home can be a great way for a person to ease back into the community slowly after addiction treatment.
What Is a Sober Living Home?
A sober living home is usually a house within the community, sometimes maintained or connected in some way to a treatment facility or community-based addiction treatment center. In these homes, small groups of people who have completed an addiction treatment program will reside together. The number of residents often depends on the size of the house.
Generally, there will be a range of people in recovery in a sober living home. For example, some people may be further along in recovery than others, and this can provide hope, encouragement, and mentorship for those just moving in who are new to recovery.
The main rule in a sober living home is that individuals remain free from drugs and alcohol. Residents are also expected to follow the house rules, help with chores, and keep up with rent payments. Helping to prepare meals and clean up around the house can restore a sense of self-reliance and purpose. Responsibilities can be slowly added in as a person moves through recovery and becomes ready to handle more responsibility.
Most sober living homes do not require individuals to continue with formal addiction treatment; however, participation in support group meetings, therapy, educational opportunities, and aftercare or alumni services is often encouraged. The Journal of Psychoactive Drugs publishes that individuals who participated actively and regularly in a 12-Step program (such as Alcoholics Anonymous) while residing in a sober living home were more likely to remain abstinent for longer than those who didn't.
A sober living environment can provide individuals with social support and a healthy peer network upon reentrance into society after treatment. Addiction is a relapsing disease, as the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports addiction relapse rates that are between 40 and 60 percent. Per NIDA, treatment should last at least 90 days and then be followed with some form of ongoing and lasting support to minimize relapse. In a sober living home, individuals have time to keep practicing habits, coping mechanisms, and new life skills in a safe environment.
Questions to Ask When Looking for a Sober Living Home
There are many factors that contribute to addiction and how it affects each person, making treatment highly variable. Just as addiction treatment varies in terms of offerings and programs, sober living homes are not all exactly the same. Finding the right fit can be extremely beneficial to a sustained recovery.
Here are some questions to ask when deciding on a specific sober living home:
- Where is it located? Location is important. The sober living home needs to be in an area that is easily accessible for the individual and close to where they may continue to attend meetings and sessions.
- Is transportation to meetings, sessions, and aftercare services provided? Some sober living homes may make arrangements for rides, be on a community transit route, or allow residents to have their own cars.
- How many residents are there? It can be beneficial to find out how many beds there are and how long the residents have been there.
- Is it a specialty sober living home? Some sober living homes are targeted to specific demographics, such as men or women. There are many different types of sober living homes catering to all demographics of people from all walks of life.
- What are the costs associated with living there? Sober living homes can be low-cost and affordable, but location, the number of residents, and other factors can influence the cost. Some may be more expensive and offer more amenities. Be sure the home selected is within the family budget.
- How long can people stay? Sober living homes generally allow residents to stay as long as they wish if they continue to adhere to the house rules and regulations. A halfway house, however, is a type of transitional housing that has more strict requirements on admission and length of stay.
- What are the requirements of admission? Typically, individuals in a sober living home will first have completed a residential, or inpatient, addiction treatment program, although this may not always be the case. Each sober living home has its own selection criteria.
- What are the expectations while living there? Each sober living home will have their own set of house rules. These rules are often made by the residents themselves. There may be rules on curfews, visitors, time spent outside of the home, etc. Individuals residing in a sober living home are also required to perform chores around the house as outlined by the rules and regulations of the specific house.
- What are the rules regarding visitors? Sober living homes may have set visiting hours. It is important for individuals to remain vigilant, especially during early recovery; therefore, people who may not be supportive of a sober lifestyle are discouraged from visiting.
- Are drug tests performed? Most sober living homes will do random and regular drug and alcohol screenings to ensure that individuals are abstinent while residing in the home. There is usually a zero-tolerance policy on drug and alcohol use.
- What is the daily schedule? A sober living home is not as structured as an addiction treatment program; instead, residents are in charge of their own schedules. There may be set waking, eating, and lights out times, and also times set aside for checking in with each other and socializing together. Residents often attend peer support and 12-Step meetings, and many may also attend counseling and therapy sessions while in residence.
A sober living home can serve as a great transitional environment between the intense structure of an inpatient addiction treatment program where sleep times, meals, meetings, workshops, and sessions are all strictly scheduled and back home where individuals are in charge of every aspect of their own lives. In a sober living home, the pressures of "real" life are not quite as great.
The social support provided by other residents in a sober living home can be ideal in early recovery, as each resident has the same overarching goal of continued abstinence. The brain is often damaged by chronic drug and alcohol use and can take time to heal. Medical and mental health personnel may continue to provide check-ins with residents of a sober living home and help to manage medications and any co-occurring disorders that are simultaneously being treated.
While living in a sober living home, individuals may begin to return to aspects of "normal" life. Some may return to work or school, for instance. Families may spend time together during the evenings and weekends.
Overall, a sober living home may help to minimize relapse and encourage long-term recovery. Substance abuse treatment providers are great resources when looking for a sober living home, and addiction treatment programs can often provide referrals to homes in the area.

Talk:Watermelon Cheer
