Young Adult Anxiety Counseling Success Stories
When Kate began counseling, she was in a bad place with her parents. Even though she had a full-time job and a college degree, her parents were constantly worried that she would binge-drink and get hurt. Kate felt frustrated by their non-stop worry, but also knew that she needed to change what she was doing so they could trust her.
After a short round of counseling, Kate was able to drink in moderation while setting healthy boundaries with her parents. Kate realized that she hated her job, and got one more suited to her goals. As her parents began to trust her more, she went through the day free of non-stop text messages and phone calls. This gave Kate the space to start dating and living life as a true adult. Kate felt healthy, confident, and assured.
When Chris came to counseling, he was breaking point. Everything he loved had been lost. After enduring months of a bad relationship and the eventual break-up, Chris self-medicated by binge drinking and using any drug he could find when he was out with friends. After being arrested for drunken assault, Chris lost his job - the one thing that gave him hope and purpose. Strapped for cash, Chris had to rely on his parents for financial support, which came at the high cost of them constantly calling and texting. He felt abandoned by all of his friends.
By the time counseling was completed, Chris reaped the benefits of using healthy coping skills that gave him control over his life. He was able to drink socially, but never to the point of blacking out. He got a job he loved, started a new creative project, and earned the respect of his friends by helping them understand what he had overcome. His friends admired his transformation. Confident in his path, Chris was able to manage communication with his parents on his own terms. Chris created the life he wanted to live.
When Megan started counseling, she felt as though she had lost control over her life. Even though drinking was a concern, she struggled the most with feelings of abandonment. Her dating relationships never ended well, and she felt abandoned by friends and family. Over time, her cries for help were met with silence. She was intelligent and driven to succeed, but needed to feel as though someone believed in her ability to change.
By the time counseling was completed, Megan had healed past wounds that got triggered by her present-day relationships. She was able to set boundaries with others while determining her future direction. Once she felt free of chronic anxiety, Megan realized that she was on the wrong career path for her happiness. She began a new career that gave her hope and purpose. Megan began to trust her intuition in guiding her life choices.
Note: To protect client confidentiality, all stories above are composites of multiple clients we have worked with in our practice.
Counseling can help you create the life you want. Here's how:
Skillfully manage anxiety so that anxiety doesn't manage you.
Sometimes you need a comfortable space to hear yourself think. Counseling gives you space to figure out what to do next. Self-awareness flourishes when you can get centered and calm. Counseling can help you explore your values, consider your decisions, and feel good about your future by revealing your true direction. Counseling can help you get in the driver's seat of your life.
Understand the "why" behind your problem drinking.
When you're a young adult, drinking to the point of blacking out is a red flag for something else. Unlike adults in middle age who struggle with alcohol dependence, you may only drink on weekends or at special occasions. But blacking out when you drink again and again means that something else is wrong. You shouldn't have to live in fear of blacking out. Counseling can help. We can help you figure out what hurts, where things are feeling stuck, and how to feel confident enjoying social drinking.
Create the life you want to live.
Our attentive counselors will help you remove obstacles in your life. The most common concerns we address with our young adults are:
- Dating and relationship problems
- Alcohol abuse and problem drinking
- Self-medicating anxiety
- Low self-esteem/lack of confidence
- Challenging relationships with parents
- Social stress and friendship issues
If you are ready to realize your inner potential, we are here to help. Whether you are dealing with chronic feelings of anxiety or are stressed about a current situation, we are here to coach you towards success.
What about alcohol moderation strategies?
We know that problem drinking in young adults is often a red flag for something else. Unlike middle-aged adults with alcohol dependence, twenty-somethings tend to have a different relationship with alcohol. Ask yourself the following:
- Do you only overdrink when you're with certain friends, but find yourself drinking to the point of blacking out?
- Are you someone who only drinks a few days per week, but smokes weed on the other days?
- Are your parents worried about your drinking?

In order to ensure your league's season starts with the first day of the 2018 NFL regular season, you must sign up by 8:00PM/EST on 9/6/18 and your draft (defined below) must be completed by 8:00PM/EST on 9/6/18. The last day of scheduled game play is 12/24/18.
C) Draft Team Players; Live Draft Leagues or Autopick Draft Leagues:To acquire players for your team you must participate in a draft, the type of draft is determined by the type of league you joined. If you joined a Live Draft League then you will select your players via standard or auction format during a pre-scheduled online draft, which may take three (3) to four (4) hours to complete. If you joined an Autopick Draft League then NFL.com will process your draft for you. Follow the instructions on the league directory page accessible via http://fantasy.nfl.com to prepare your team for drafting and mark your team as ready to be drafted. Once your team is marked as ready to be drafted, NFL.com will process your draft.
Live Draft Overview:
During a Live Draft, all ten (10) team owners in your league will log in to an online "draft room" at a scheduled time/date. You will be sent your scheduled draft room date/time in an email (at the email address provided during registration) following your Live Draft League selection. The Live Draft is extremely fast-paced and recommended for experienced owners. You may join either a Standard or Auction draft format league. See "Live Draft Instructions" section below.
Autopick Draft Overview:
During an Autopick Draft, all ten (10) team owners must participate. If you are a beginner, and/or are unable to schedule a block of three (3) or four (4) hours for a Live Draft, you may prefer to participate in an Autopick Draft league. If you choose an Autopick Draft League, at your convenience prior to the draft, simply arrange players, using a Pre-Draft Ranking List provided by NFL.com, in the order that you'd like those players selected for your team. The Autopick Draft is then processed using your list. The highest-ranked player on your list who is available, and fits the roster needs of your team, will be selected for you during each round of the Autopick Draft. See "Autopick Draft Instructions" for the appropriate draft format section below.
Leagues with a standard draft format rely on a draft order with specified time limit per pick to draft a team of players.
Live Draft Instructions:
After you join a Live Draft League, you will have the opportunity to make changes to NFL.com's default Rank List, which is a list of all NFL players that are eligible to be drafted, ranked from best to worst by our Fantasy experts. You will be able to make changes to your draft list up until thirty (30) minutes before your draft is scheduled to begin.
It is recommended that you, prior to your Live Draft, organize the Rank List according to your own player preferences. However, you are welcome to leave the Rank List in the order our experts have provided. During the live draft, NFL.com will use your Rank List as a backup in case your time limit expires before you make a pick (explained below).
On your scheduled draft day there will be an "Enter Draft" link on your League home page. This link will allow entry into the draft room. The order of the Live Draft will be randomly generated thirty (30) minutes before the Live Draft is scheduled to begin. If your league does not have ten (10) team owners at draft time, your league will be disbanded and each owner will have to join another league.
In the draft room, you will be able to place NFL players into a Draft Queue - which is simply a list of players, in order of priority, that you are interested in taking with your next draft pick. When it is your turn to pick, you will have ninety (90) seconds to draft a player. If the ninety (90) seconds pass and you have not manually selected a player, the player ranked highest in your Draft Queue will be automatically drafted. If the Draft Queue is empty, a pick will then be made from your Rank List. In such a case, the highest rated player from the Rank List will be drafted unless that position is filled - in which case the next best available option, at an available position, will be drafted. The draft order will "snake" at the end of each round, meaning that the team with the last pick in the current round will have the first pick in the next round.
You can find additional information on Standard Draft format in our Fantasy Help section at http://nfl.com/fantasy/help.
Autopick Draft Instructions:
If you choose to create an Autopick Draft team, you will have the opportunity to pre-rank all eligible NFL players prior to being placed in a league any time prior to the commencement of your draft ("Pre-Draft Period"). You will rank the players in a single, comprehensive Pre-Draft Rankings list in the order of your preference, with the player you would most like to draft first on the list, and so on. You also have the opportunity to specify which NFL position(s) you want selected from your ranking list by clicking the "Edit Preferred Positions" link and choosing your preferred positions on a per-pick basis. As in the Live Draft, you are not required to make changes to our Pre-Draft Rankings list or Preferred Positions list. If you choose to not make changes, our default list, which reflects the rankings of our Fantasy experts, will be used. You will also have the opportunity to create a separate Excluded Players list of players you want to make sure they will not be drafted to your team. All changes and creation of an Excluded Players list must be completed during the Pre-Draft Period.
Once you are content with your Pre-Draft Rankings, you will be able to mark your team as "Ready to Draft" on your Team homepage. NFL.com will then be notified that your team is ready to be placed into an Autopick standard format league and drafted according to your Pre-Draft Rankings list. You will be notified via email (at the email address provided during registration) after the draft has been completed and your team is ready to play.
Please refer to the following table (each number in the table refers to each team's draft position for that round) for the draft order for the full 15 rounds of the draft. You'll see that the draft order will "snake" at the end of each round, meaning that the team with the last pick in the current round will have the first pick in the next round.
Leagues with an auction draft format rely on player nominations and an open bidding system to draft a team of players. Each team starts with a fantasy budget of $200 and must draft a full team of 15 players within the fantasy budget of $200 (see Roster Requirements below).
Live Draft Instructions:
After you join a Live Draft League, you will have the opportunity to make changes to NFL.com's default auction value list, which is a list of all NFL players that are eligible to be drafted, with auction values (bid amounts) specified by our NFL.com experts. You will be able to make changes to your auction value draft list up until thirty (30) minutes before your draft is scheduled to begin.
It is recommended that you, prior to your Live Draft, organize the pre-rank auction value list according to your own player preferences. During the live draft, NFL.com will use the auction value rank list (regardless of whether you change the auction value list that the NFL.com fantasy experts provided) as a backup in case your time limit expires before you make a pick (explained below).
On your scheduled draft day there will be an "Enter Draft" link on your League home page. This link will allow entry into the draft room. The nomination order of the Live Draft will be randomly generated thirty (30) minutes before the Live Draft is scheduled to begin. If your league does not have ten (10) team owners at draft time, your league will be disbanded and each owner will have to join another league.
In the draft room, you will be able to place NFL players into a Nomination Queue - which is simply a list of players, in order of priority, that you are interested in nominating with your next draft pick. When it is your turn to pick, you will have forty-five (45) seconds to nominate a player. If the forty-five (45) seconds pass and you have not manually selected a player, the player ranked highest in your Nomination Queue will be automatically drafted. If the Nomination Queue is empty, a nomination will then be made based on your rank list and logic to help draft your team an ideal roster. In such a case, the highest rated player from the auction value list (which you updated prior to your draft being completed) will be nominated unless that position is filled - in which case the next best available option, at an available position, will be nominated. The nomination order will follow a linear pattern (as outlined in the chart below) throughout the draft, with no additional nominations made by teams once they have a full roster. Note that all players are nominated for an amount of $1, with bidding by all teams with sufficient funds to determine the player's final bid amount.
After a player is nominated, all teams have the option to put in a bid in an attempt to draft the player. You will have forty-five (45) seconds to bid on the player. If a new high bid is made in the last ten (10) seconds of the bid process, the clock will reset to ten (10) seconds. Once the clock has reached zero (0) seconds, the current high bidder wins the player. The amount that was bid is deducted from the team's budget/bank and the next team according to the nomination order is now able to nominate a player.
You can find additional information on Auction Draft format in our Fantasy Help section at http://nfl.com/fantasy/help.
Autopick Draft Instructions:
If you choose to create an Autopick Draft team, you will have the opportunity to pre-rank all eligible NFL players prior to being placed in a league any time during the Pre-Draft Period. You will rank the players in a single, comprehensive Pre-Draft Rankings list in the order of your preferred bid amounts. As in the Live Draft, you are not required to make changes to our Pre-Draft Rankings list. If you choose to not make changes, our default list, which reflects the bid values of NFL.com fantasy experts, will be used. You will also have the opportunity to create a separate Excluded Players list of players you want to make sure they will not be drafted to your team. All changes and creation of an Excluded Players list must be completed during the Pre-Draft Period.
Once you are content with your Pre-Draft Rankings, you will be able to mark your team as "Ready to Draft" on your Team homepage. NFL.com will then be notified that your team is ready to be placed into an Autopick auction format league and drafted according to your Pre-Draft Rankings list. You will be notified via email (at the email address provided during registration) after the draft has been completed and your team is ready to play.
Please refer to the following table (each number in the table refers to each team's nomination position for that round) for the nomination order for the full 15 rounds of the draft. You'll see that the draft order will move in a linear order, meaning the same order is followed throughout the draft. Note that it is possible for a team to fill their roster prior to their last nomination. In this case, they will no longer nominate players during the draft, instead giving up these nominations to teams still in need of players on their roster.
Each NFL.com Fantasy 2018 league will consist of ten (10) teams, which will be placed into a single division containing all 10 teams.
Each roster will consist of fifteen (15) NFL players. Owners may select a starting lineup each week from these fifteen (15) players. The chart below lists the required number of players at each position for the 'starting lineup' and the 'draft'.
- Note: Individual defensive players are not drafted; rather, you will draft an NFL team's entire defensive/special teams unit. For the purpose of roster limits, each NFL defensive/special teams unit will count as one "player."
Roster Requirements
*You are allowed as many as nine (9) players in your starting lineup, according to the positional requirements listed in the table above. However the numbers in the "starting lineup" column represent the maximum number of players you may start at each position. You may use fewer players than the number listed at each position without penalty, although it is recommended you use the maximum number of players so that you can accumulate the most points.
** Team owners that elect to participate in a league with an 'Autopick Draft' will have their rosters populated according to the criteria listed in the 'Roster Requirements' table. Players will be drafted based upon their order within each team owner's Rank List and position within the draft. For more information, please refer to the Autopick Draft Instructions listed above.
*** Team owners participating in a 'Live Draft' league will be required to select a total of fifteen (15) players based upon the criteria defined in the 'Roster Requirements' table above. For more information, please refer to the Live Draft Instructions listed above.
**** Please note that, throughout the season, your overall roster is not restricted to a specific number of players at each position. You can carry as many players in any one position that you choose, as long as your overall roster does not exceed fifteen (15) players.
Schedule & Playoffs:
For the complete 2018 NFL weekly game schedule visit nfl.com/schedules.
Regular Season
The first fourteen (14) weeks of the 2018 NFL regular season represent the regular season for NFL.com Fantasy 2018 leagues (the "Fantasy Regular Season"). During these weeks, you will play against teams in your league. To see your team's specific schedule (developed by NFL.com in its sole discretion), click the Schedule tab on the league home page upon joining the league.
When the Fantasy Regular Season ends, the four (4) teams in each league with the highest league standings (determined by League Manager in its sole discretion) will advance to the Fantasy Playoffs. See Fantasy Playoff schedule below. Additionally, the teams who ranked fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth highest in each league's standings will be offered the opportunity to continue to play through the Playoff period in the league's consolation bracket, however, they will no longer be in the running for a chance to win a prize. Only the teams participating in the Fantasy Playoff (as outlined above) will be in the running for a chance to win a prize.
If there is a tie for the order of Fantasy Playoff seeds, the following tie-breakers will be used.
- 1. Head-to-Head Record (win-loss-tie ("W-L-T") record between the tied teams); if more than two (2) teams are tied, compare the W-L-T records between all teams, then eliminate the team(s) with the worst W-L-T record until 2 remain, then compare the final two (2); if a tie still exists then:
- 2. Year-To-Date ("YTD") Points Scored (sum of all points accumulated during Fantasy Regular Season); if a tie still exists then:
- 3. YTD Points Against (sum of opponents' points accumulated during Fantasy Regular Season); if a tie still exists then:
- 4. Random selection from among such tied teams.
Point Values
Each week your team will compete against another team in your League in a head-to-head matchup. For the purposes of this Promotion a week is defined as the NFL games held between Wednesday and Monday. Matchups are determined by NFL.com in its sole discretion. During a matchup, each of the players in your starting lineup ("active" players) for that week will earn points based on their actual statistics from their respective NFL games. The charts below list the statistics and their corresponding point values.
Wins & Losses:
For each head-to-head matchup, the team with the greater number of points will earn a Win and the team with the lesser number will earn a Loss. During the regular season, if two teams have the same number of points, each team will get a Tie.During the Fantasy Playoffs, there are no ties. The Higher Playoff Seed will be deemed the winner.
- Offensive Scoring (QB, RB, WR, TE): An offensive player will receive points for any of the specified offensive statistics he accumulates. Scoring will be calculated according to the following example: If a QB throws for 200 yards and 2 TDs; rushes for 20 yards and 1 TD; and has 25 yards receiving, his point total for the week would be: 2 TDs Passing = 8 points, 1 TD Rushing = 6 points, 200 yards Passing = 8 points, 20 yards Rushing = 2 points, 25 yards receiving = 2.5 points; or 26.5 total points for the week.
- Defensive / Special Team Scoring: Your defense/special team is awarded points when any one of its members generates a TD, INT, fumble recovery, safety or sack. Your defense/special team unit is also awarded points for a kickoff or punt return that results in a TD. For instance, if your active defense/special team is the Falcons and Devin Hester returns a punt for a TD, you get 6 points. In the same situation, a team using Devin Hester as an active WR would NOT be awarded points.
- Fumbles Lost by a player will lose 2 points if they turn the ball over to the opposing team at any time such player is on the field (including special teams and defense). For instance, if you have Dez Bryant active at WR and he fumbles the ball away at any time while he is on the field, your team will lose 2 points. This includes a fumble lost while returning a punt, kick, interception (if your WR were playing defense) or while on offense at WR.
- Offensive Fumble Recovery Touchdowns are any touchdowns resulting from a fumble recovered by an offensive skill player. For instance, if your active wide receiver is Larry Fitzgerald and he recovers a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown, your team would be awarded 6 points.
- Defensive Points Allowed will take into account only the points allowed by the team when the defense or special teams is on the field based on possession. For example, a touchdown scored by an opposing team's offense while the defense is on the field would count towards defensive points allowed, but a touchdown scored against a team's offense (TD from interception, safeties, etc.) would not count towards defensive points allowed. Also, note that points scored against a team's special teams unit (punt or kick return for a TD) would count towards defensive points allowed.
- Defensive Touchdowns are any touchdowns scored by the defensive team. This includes fumble returns and interception returns.
- Team Defensive 2-point Returns are when a defender returns an interception or recovers and returns a fumble during a 2-point conversion attempt by the opposing team.
- Special Teams Touchdowns are touchdowns scored by punt returns, kickoff returns or returns of blocked field goals or punts. With NFL-Managed default scoring settings, special teams touchdowns are awarded to the Team Defense/Special Teams unit, not individual players. For example, if Devin Hester returns a punt for a touchdown, the Atlanta Falcons Defense/Special Teams receives 6 points for a special teams touchdown, but Devin Hester does not receive these points.
- Fractional points will be used when calculating points from statistics. For example, 49 yards rushing will result in 4.9 points.
Statistics Corrections:
Following the completion of each week's games, all statistics and point totals are verified, and corrections are made where necessary. However, all statistics and point totals for the week are considered FINAL as of 11:59:59 PM ET on the Friday following the end of that week. If a stat correction is announced for the previous weekend's games after 11:59:59 PM ET on Friday or later, it will not be included in our statistics and your official Fantasy score will be based on the original statistic.
Lineup Changes:
Weekly Lineups
Each week, owners have the opportunity to select their starting lineup for the coming week. If an owner doesn't set a lineup before the weekly lineup deadline (explained in the "Deadline to Change Status" section below), the owner's lineup from the previous week will be used. If an owner has a lineup that is not in compliance with these rules, their team will score zero points for the scoring period.
Deadline To Change Status:
An owner may change the status of the players on his/her team (i.e., "active" or "reserve") before a player's NFL team is scheduled to start as determined by NFL.com's clock. NFL.com will not be responsible if your watch or clock and our system clock are not synchronized. Please note that, if nine (9) of your players were "active" and played on Sunday, you will not be able to change the status of one of your "reserves" to "active" on Monday even though the player has not yet played in the current week.
Adding and Dropping Players:
Free Agents:
Throughout the season you may want to improve your roster by adding available free agents and dropping players who are not performing up to your expectations. You can submit a free agent request at any time. Any player who is not on Waivers (as described below) is considered a free agent and may be added to a team immediately on a first-come, first-served basis.
To provide an equal opportunity for all owners to add players to their roster, a Waivers process is used. Requests for players that are on Waivers are not executed immediately, but are put in a pending status.
Free Agent players will be placed on Waivers at the start of their weekly NFL game during the course of the NFL season, typically on Sunday at 1:00:00, 4:00:00, or 8:20:00 p.m. ET. Note that if there are NFL games scheduled for Thursday or Saturday, the players from those teams will be placed on Waivers at the start of their respective games.
Any player that is new to the player pool will be placed on Waivers, and subject to the league's Waiver process.
The Waiver process allows multiple teams to request the same players. Most weeknights between 12:00:00 a.m. ET and 6:00:00 a.m. ET, NFL.com will process all of the pending requests. The order in which these requests are processed is based on the Waiver Rank of each team. The table below lists when an NFL player is on Waivers and for how long.
Waiver Rank:
During the waiver process, pending transactions are processed in an order determined by each team's waiver rank. The team with a waiver rank of 1, considered the highest, will get its first requested player. After the transaction is executed, the team's waiver rank is then set to 10 (last), and all other teams move up one. The waiver ranks are reset once each week after standings are updated on Tuesday morning. The last-place team (based on won/lost record) will be given the waiver rank of 1, down to the first-place team, which gets the waiver rank of 10. We'll use the following criteria to break any ties for waiver rank:
If a team's highest pending transaction becomes invalid because another team received the requested player, the transaction gets deleted and the team's next waiver request, if one exists, becomes that team's highest. If a team doesn't have any pending transactions because all players requested were taken by other teams, or the owner simply didn't request any players, there isn't any penalty and the Waiver Rank will not be changed for that week. Waiver priority immediately after the draft will be the reverse order of the first round selections in the draft (e.g., the team selecting #10 in the draft will have the highest waiver priority and the team selecting #1 in the draft will have the lowest waiver priority).
Waiver Schedule:
The waiver process will run for the first time each week between 12:00:00 a.m. ET Wednesday and 6:00:00 a.m. ET Wednesday which is approximately 24 hours after the completion of Monday night's game. In a typical week the waiver process will run every night until the last waiver process is run on early Sunday morning.If there are Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday games the players involved in those games will be placed on Waivers at the start of their game and will not be eligible to be added to a team's roster until the first Waivers process of the following week runs.
Note: Waivers will continue to run for the current week, as scheduled, until the last waiver process is run on Sunday night/Monday morning.
With only two exceptions, there are no limits to the number of Add/Drops you can request, nor are there any transaction fees.
- 1. The first exception is when an owner drops his entire team or a significant number of players, also known as "team dropping". Team dropping has a negative impact on the league and as such, is prohibited and any owner who elects to drop his team shall be subject to immediate removal from the league. Players selected from waivers or added from free agency that were part of a team drop may be reversed at NFL.com's sole discretion.
- 2. The second exception is abuse of the waivers process. This is when a team owner adds then drops a series of players, putting those players on waivers and making them inaccessible to other team owners. Such an action could result in forfeiture of points as well as that team owner being blocked from making any additional add/drops for the remainder of the season, as determined by NFL.com in its sole discretion.
If either of these situations occurs within your league, please contact NFL.com through Fantasy Help at http://fantasy.nfl.com/feedback as soon as possible.
Once a league's draft is completed, players can be added and dropped subject to the Free Agent and Waiver rules discussed above. The initial Waiver Rank after the draft will be the reverse of order in which teams selected in the draft. After the draft, all players not drafted will be placed on Waivers. The waiver process will run each night, 7 days a week, starting the day after the draft through the Tuesday night before the first 2018 NFL regular season game.
Undroppable Players:
To maintain the integrity of your league, you will be prevented from dropping certain star NFL players throughout the season. NFL.com will determine, in its sole discretion, which NFL players are undroppable. If there are players we've deemed undroppable on your roster, their undroppable status will be indicated on the Add/Drop page for your team. You may appeal to NFL.com for permission to drop an undroppable player; however, NFL.com will make the final decision on all undroppable player requests. Appeals can be sent via Fantasy Help at http://fantasy.nfl.com/feedback and should include the names of the players you want to add and drop.
Trade Deadline
Throughout the season, owners can trade players with other teams. In an effort to keep the integrity of the league, a deadline for trades will be imposed at 11:59PM/EST on 11/10/18. No trades will be allowed after that time. Any trades accepted by two parties before the deadline will be subject to the trade approval process.
Trade Approval Process:
In an effort to prevent collusion among owners, and to ensure fair competition, a trade approval process is used. After two owners agree to a trade, it will be in pending status for at least 24 hours. If six (6) owners in your league object to the trade within the pending time period, the trade will not be executed. Example: a trade made at 5:00:00 p.m. ET Tuesday will not execute before 5:00 p.m. ET Wednesday at the earliest, assuming six (6) owners do not object before then.
To be effective for any given week of the NFL season, all trades between owners must be made at least 24 hours before the first game day of such week and disputed by less than six owners in a league. If trades are executed with less than 24 hours before the first game of any given NFL week or six (6) or more owners object to a trade, the trade will not be effective for such NFL week unless NFL.com overrules the objection at least 24 hours before the first game day of the week. If the NFL overrules the trade objection with less than 24 hours before the first game of the week, the trade will not be made effective until the following week.
If you make a trade offer, be sure to monitor the status of that offer (link on the My Team page) as the weekly lineup deadline approaches, to ensure that acceptance of that trade does not cause your team to have an illegal lineup for the current week's games. NFL.com is not responsible for a team not being awarded any points from a player acquired in a trade if that player was not placed in the team's starting lineup prior to rosters locking for the week.
Multi-player Trades:
Owners can enter unbalanced multi-player trades such as a 3 player for 1 player trade, however, such owners will be required to enter the necessary transactions to balance your roster immediately. If your roster is not balanced by the weekly deadline, you will receive zero points for that particular week.
General Sportsmanship:
By participating, you agree to abide by the general sportsmanship rules set forth in these Official Rules and fantasy games in general. You further agree to accept and abide by the rulings and the decisions of NFL.com regarding all questions of sportsmanship. If an owner does not comply with the sportsmanship rules as defined in these official rules, or NFL.com determines (in NFL.com's sole discretion) that an owner has acted in an unsportsmanlike manner, NFL.com reserves the right to disqualify the owner, void points and/or remove that owner from the league. All decisions by NFL.com in sportsmanship and related matters will be final.
Multiple Teams:
In order to keep the leagues as competitive as possible, owners will only be allowed to have one team in a league. If it is discovered that two (2) or more teams are being operated by one owner in the same league, NFL.com reserves the right to disqualify that owner from participating in any Fantasy Football league.
NFL.com does not permit two or more owners in the same league to work together to better one team at the expense of the other (for example, making one-sided trades, one team dropping highly-rated players so the other team can pick them up) If it is discovered that two or more owners are colluding, NFL.com reserves the right to disqualify all involved owners from participating in any NFL.com Fantasy Football league.
Inappropriate League Communication:
The Fantasy and League Discussions, League News area, League Email Address, Game Center Discussions and Live Chat are available for you to communicate with other league owners. We ask that you refrain from posting or sending messages that could be construed as offensive to other owners. If NFL.com determines, at NFL.com's sole discretion, that someone is engaging in inappropriate league communication, NFL.com reserves the right to disqualify that person from participating in any NFL.com Fantasy Football league.
Winner Selection:
Grand Prize: At the conclusion of the Promotion Period, the Registered Users (team owners) who are in first place on the Leaderboard (as described below) throughout all Live Draft and Autopick Draft Leagues, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will be deemed the potential Grand Prize winner.
First League Prize: At the conclusion of the Promotion Period, the Registered User (team owner) who is determined to be league champion within his/her assigned league, and finished between 1st and 50th on the Leaderboard (as described below) throughout all Live Draft and Autopick Draft Leagues, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, will be deemed the potential First League Prize winner.
Positions on the Leaderboard shall be calculated as follows:
Each team's "League Index" will be calculated by taking the total points scored during the Promotion Period by all teams in the league and divided by total points scored by the highest scoring league during the Promotion Period. For example, if all teams in league A have scored a total of 1950 points during the Promotion Period and league C is the highest scoring league with 2000 points, then any team in league A will have a League Index of .975 (1950/2000).
A team's Adjusted Points shall be calculated by multiplying the League Index by such teams' total points.
Only teams winning their league's championship will be included in the Leaderboard. All teams on the Leaderboard will be ranked by Adjusted Points. If more than one team has the same Adjusted Points total, the tiebreaker will be determined by Team Points, and if a tie still exists, winning percentage, and if a tie still exists total points scored against.In the event of a tie for any prize level, the following tie-breakers will be used.
- 1. Regular Season Year-To-Date ("YTD") Points Scored (sum of all points accumulated during Fantasy Regular Season); if a tie still exists then:
- 2. YTD Least Points Against (sum of opponents' points accumulated during Fantasy Regular Season).
The tabulation of points and identification of potential winner(s) will be conducted by Sponsor whose decisions are final and binding on these and all other matters relating to the Promotion. By participating, participants agree to these Official Rules and to the decisions of the Sponsor.
(1) Overall Prize: Personalized championship ring. Approximate Retail Value ("ARV") = $500.
(50) First League Prize: Personalized league champion trophy, and invitation to attend a reception at Halas Hall on a date to be determined by Sponsor. ARV = $130.
First League Prize (After the Top 50): All First League winners that do not finish in the Top 50 on the Leaderboard will be eligible to receive a printed Fantasy Football Champions Certificate.

The Lowly Lichen
by Stephen James O'Meara
Lichens are some of the oldest plantlike organisms on Earth. Their fossils can be traced back 400 million years, and some microfossil evidence suggests that their ancestors date back 2.2 to 2.7 billion years.
While most living creatures are a single organism—an ant, a fish, a tree—a lichen is a combination of two organisms (a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium) living so close together that it's hard to differentiate between the two. In fact, many lichen species include a fungus that cannot survive on its own.
Most of the lichen is composed of fungal filaments. These filaments rely on algal or cyanobacterium cells to take care of photosynthesis, the production of sugars necessary for life. The filaments simply suck sugars out of the photosynthesizing cells. But the alga or cyanobacterium does not go unrewarded for its sugar production. These photosynthesizers depend on a symbiotic fungus to supply them with water and minerals, as well as shelter in which to grow.
The partnership appears to be not only mutually beneficial, but also highly successful. Lichens enjoy long lives—up to 1,000 years—and can survive in extreme environments. There are some 13,500 to 17,000 species of lichens, extending from the tropics to the polar regions. They will grow on almost any stable and reasonably well-lit surface, including soil, rock, and the sides of trees. Because lichens are highly intolerant of atmospheric pollution (particularly sulfur dioxide), you won't find many in the city. In fact, their presence is an excellent bio-indicator of air quality and cleanliness.
Now a trivia question: Who first suggested that a lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an alga?
The answer: Beatrix Potter, the author best known for her books about Peter Rabbit. When not writing children's stories, Potter enjoyed studying and drawing lichens.
- alga: Singular form of algae, which is any of a large group of simple living things that grow in water. Algae were once considered to be plants, but they do not have true roots, stems, or leaves.
- filament: A fine wire or thread. In this case, a shape.
- fungus: One of a group of organisms that are neither plants nor animals and that have no flowers, leaves, or green coloring. Mushrooms, molds, and mildew are fungi.
- photosynthesis: The process plants use to make food.
- symbiotic: Adjective form of symbiosis, which is the relationship of two different organisms that live in close association. Symbiosis is often to the advantage of both organisms.
- What does the article say about some fungi and their ability to survive on their own?
[anno: The article says that it is not possible for some fungi to survive on their own.]
- What are some of the basic things that you need to survive? How do you get these things? Does someone else help you get the things that you need to survive? Write a short paragraph that tells what you need to survive and how you get those things.
[anno: Answers will vary but should include a description of basic needs, such as food, shelter, and clothing. Students? paragraphs should also mention how they get the things they need to survive.]

I'm not into "resolutions" that start on January 1st and seem to end around January 10th. For the past 5 years I've come up with a one word theme for the new year. I let the theme guide me as I make daily choices. My theme for 2009 is "courage."
I do have a few goals that I'm working on this year too. No pictures but if you're interested, here they are:
1. Walk the dogs at least once a week.
2. Eat more vegetables (this may sound funny coming from a vegetarian but I don't really eat a lot of veggies.)
3. Keep an exercise journal.
4. Run in a race. (5k, 10k, whatever)
5. Find (or create) places to put all the stuff in my room.
6. Spice up the blog and Etsy store.
7. Sew more (pictures of projects I'm working on coming soon.)
8. Submit cards for publication.
I'll be doing a little contest on my blog soon. Stay tuned.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla.—Danica Patrick made NASCAR history with her 10th-place finish in the Nationwide Series standings, the highest finish for a female in any of the stock car racing organization's three national series.
The trophy she received Monday night might be a little more special. Patrick won the most popular driver award for the series in voting conducted online.
In some ways, Patrick should win the award. She has more than 670,000 Twitter followers and drove for the most popular team, JR Motorsports, in the series.
Still, it felt good for Patrick, 30-year-old former IndyCar driver. She spent two years running 10 races in the series—and therefore ineligible for the award—before moving to NASCAR full time in 2012.
Patrick has a strong fan base, but she is a somewhat polarizing figure. Many fans think she does not deserving of her ride. But her legions of fans voted online, as proven with the honor announced Friday night at the postseason awards banquet at the Loews Miami Beach hotel.
"If it would have gone to somebody else, there would have definitely been an element of thought that I need to spend more time here (to be accepted), I need to be here longer and I need to prove to them that this is what I care about," Patrick said.
"I care about it tremendously and it would have just been something I would have needed to prove it to them more (if I didn't win)."
The four other finalists were the top three finishers in the series standings—Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (58,000 Twitter followers), Elliott Sadler (125,000 followers) and Austin Dillon (71,000)—as well as Johanna Long (23,000).
"There are a lot of people in NASCAR that have a lot of fan favorites, and I'm new and so I don't in any way think that this one is a given," said Patrick, who will compete primarily in the Sprint Cup Series next year.
Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet Jr. won the award for the Camping World Truck Series.

Homemade vegan peanut butter cookies
Low-fat peanut butter cookies? Well, not exactly, but lower in fat (especially the saturated kind) than most. Mine are also made with whole grain flour, which provides more nutrients and fiber.
I used a combination of applesauce and syrup instead of the extra fat used in the standard recipe, relying only on the fat in the peanut butter itself. Applesauce only makes too soft a cookie, and all syrup makes a cookie that's too crispy.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any chocolate left over from Valentine's Day to make the peanut Blossom Cookie version to photograph, but they are my favorite.
Printable Recipe
Yield: 30 cookies
A lower-fat, vegan version peanut butter cookies, AND a variation with the "Hershey Kisses" in the middle that I used to love so much-- except that instead of the "kisses" I use organic vegan dark chocolate chunks or chips.
1 3/4 cups wholewheat PASTRY flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
OPTIONAL: 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
1/2 cup light organic granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup smooth unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup organic corn syrup, golden syrup or brown rice syrup (agave nectar is too sweet for this recipe)
1/2 cup organic, natural peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon Ener-G or Orgran egg replacer powder
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Coarse organic unbleached sugar for rolling
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Whisk the Dry Mix ingredients together well in a medium bowl. (If using the peanuts, stir them in.)
In a food processor, beat the Wet Mix ingredients together til smooth. Add to the Wet Mix to the Dry Mix ingredients in the bowl and mix well. Refrigerate the dough in the covered bowl for several hours (or place in the freezer until the dough is firm, if you are in a hurry!)
Divide the dough into 30 even pieces and quickly roll each into a ball (or as close to a ball shape as you can!), then roll in the coarse unbleached sugar. Place on nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheets. Use the tines of a fork to press down the dough a little in one direction, and then the other, to make a grid design.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, or until they are starting to brown on the bottom. Remove pans from the oven and let cool for about 3 minutes, then carefully place the cookies on racks with a spatula to cool thoroughly.
Cool on racks.
You will need:
30/ 1/2-inch chunks of organic vegan chocolate (OR you could use 3 or 4 organic, dairy-free chocolate chips on each cookie instead)
Follow the directions for making the dough and chilling it. Do not press down the cookie balls with a fork as directed above. Instead, leave them in the ball shape. Immediately after removing from the oven, top each cookie with a chunk of chocolate while still hot. Place in the turned-off oven for a few minutes to soften the chocolate. Then cool as directed above.
Yield: 30 cookies
Nutrition Facts for the plain cookie, without extra peanuts or chocolate:

Here are the Nutrition Facts when made with the optional chopped peanuts:
Nutrition (per cookie): 106.5 calories; 27% calories from fat; 3.5g total fat; 0.0mg cholesterol; 79.8mg sodium; 88.1mg potassium; 17.6g carbohydrates; 1.3g fiber; 11.3g sugar; 16.3g net carbs; 2.6g protein; 2.2 points.

The sweet smell of cardamom wafts through the nippy breeze as you enter the pristine white heritage estate off the Thekkady-Munnar highway. Un-weathered by age, the almost century old heritage bungalow greets you cheerfully atop the elevation from the main road. A premier in the region for plantations, Dr. Mathewâs grandfather started the work of building this estate in the year 1918. The bungalow often doubled up as the village office for the planters who came to seek advice from him. Kalarickal, for many years, became a renowned landmark for planters not only in Kerala but the entire country. As long back as, six generations of local families have been employed in the estate.
Dr. Mathew and his wife Beena, along with his son, have made considerable effort on retaining the traditional essence of the bungalow, ensuring that the original granite and clay combination blends perfectly with the new teak roof additions, mandatory for the upkeep of the house. A block from the wall has been opened to display the use of clay, and not cement, in the house; a place which invokes many questions from almost all visitors. Eager to share the illustrious history of the house and his grandfather, Dr. Mathew has also displayed an old photograph of his grandfather on a horseback. An old curing shed for cardamom still stands at the entrance, with many new additions to the machinery to simplify the process. Still having maintained the original method of using the furnace, Dr. Mathew passionately explains the entire process of cardamom planting. With an avid interest in flowers, he also maintains a greenhouse to take care of some magnificent anthuriums in memory of his mother from as far as Hawaii. Bee keeping is one of the other interests which keep the hosts busy. Widely traveled across the world, Dr. Mathew and Beena, make wonderful company with many interesting anecdotal information about the region and the plantations. Pets are not allowed.

Know How... 23
Podcast 101
Find out everything you need to know to start your own podcast in today's episode.
The first thing you need is a topic for a show (and you don't always need that). After you do or don't have a topic, you should record it.
You'll need to record your audio with something. Most laptops these days have microphones built-in. You could just record audio with your smartphone.
Recording by yourself on a computer? Audacity is a free, cross-platform audio recorder and editor.
For microphone options: Leo suggests the Plantronics .Audio 655 as a headset.
Alternatively, you can use an XLR to USB adapter from Shure: Shure X2u. The adapter will allow you to use a wider variety of microphones with your computer.
If you want to use a computer and have others on the show, Skype is always useful. The tool Iyaz uses most is Call Recorder from ecamm for Mac OS X. It costs $20, but it records both video and audio, comes with a load of useful tools and is constantly updated (almost as fast as Skype is).
Leo likes Pamela Call Recorder, which offers free Skype recording for up to 15 minutes. There are paid options available as well.
Before editing, we recommend using Levelator to even out your audio. Even if you're by yourself on your podcast, your volume could vary. You just have to drag and drop an AIFF or WAV file to Levelator and the program automatically brings quiet speech up to an audible level without you having to do anything. It's free and is cross-platform as well.
Once you've got your output file from Levelator, Audacity is great editor for trimming your podcast or adding music or sound effects. Audacity can also be used to compress your file to something more manageable.
If you want to make mp3s out of your audio file, you will have to download the LAME MP3 encoder, which is available for free. Instructions are available here.
Once your podcast is exported, give it a listen. If you don't want to listen to it, why should others?
Where are you going to host your podcast? A number of blog services allow you to upload files up to a certain size for free.
Iyaz is a fan of Posterous for setting up a blog that can act as your podcast home.
Alternatively, you can upload your podcast to Archive.org, which will host your files forever for free.
From there, get the RSS URL from your blog and feed that into FeedBurner. FeedBurner has great tools for podcasting. We use FeedBurner because it acts as an intermediary between your podcast and podcast directories. We suggest submitting your FeedBurner feed to places like iTunes so if you ever change where you host your podcast, you can simply tell FeedBurner and it will do all the redirection for you.
And there you have it. You've got the know how to start a podcast.

Your weekly look at what's coming up at the Colorado Legislature:
The first two gun bills of the year are up for hearings in the Senate. One would allow school employees to carry concealed weapons; the other would require armed security at private businesses that don't allow patrons to carry concealed weapons. Both are Republican ideas that face almost-certain rejection in committees controlled by Democrats.
Another Republican is sponsoring the first measure of the year related to Medicaid expansion. A measure up for a hearing in a Senate committee Thursday would block some education dollars from being diverted to pay for expanded health care assistance for the needy. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper insists Colorado can afford the expansion, but the GOP is skeptical.
Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler has been criticized for being reimbursed with state funds for attending the GOP National Convention in Florida and a partisan election law training event. On Tuesday, lawmakers will vote on whether to approve a months-long investigation of how his office uses discretionary funds.
Republicans will argue for a bill that would set up a process in law for the Colorado secretary of state to remove people from voter rolls who are believed to not be U.S. citizens. Democrats question whether it is a real problem and argue legal voters could be disenfranchised. The bill is likely to be voted down during its first House committee hearing Wednesday.
Democrats are expected to reject two Republican proposals regarding abortion. A bill being heard Thursday in a House committee would make performing abortions a felony. Another bill being heard in a House committee Monday would make it a crime to kill a fetus. Republicans argue it's needed to prosecute people who commit crimes against pregnant women, but opponents say it resembles an abortion ban.

LavaZZa needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 122 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Klickreiz is a new founded online marketing agency with special focus on search engine optimization for Google Product Search.
The English translation of "Klickreiz" might be something like "clicky / conversion zone / easily clickable / the user wants to click this".
The term originally comes from the web usability vocabulary.
We offer:
1. Datafeed optimization for online shops to improve the rankings of their products on Google Product Search in Germany.
2. Individual SEO (search engine optimization) strategies as well as Google AdWords strategies.
3. "Landing Page Optimization", where we develop individual strategies for online shops to encourage more visitors to buy.
Owners of medium-sized online shops (3000 - 30.000 products) in Germany who are interested in gaining more traffic via Google and/or maximize their sales rates.
There is already a big market for general SEO in Germany, but SEO for Google Product Search is currently a small niche market.
I'll be honest and say that our requirements are fairly open.
Unsure of the exact creative words but some terms that come to mind are:
- reliable
- trustable
- fresh, new, modern
- friendly, harmonic
- clean. Not overloaded.
- brand recognition
- highly memorable
- looks like it could be the logo of a huge, trustable brand in the online marketing sector
The logo should contain:
1. An outstanding, recognizable symbol or icon which should describe the company's sense. We would like to add this icon for example on the bottom of our letters and as a favicon of our website. Just like Adidas does it with its stripes.
2. The name of our company's brand ("Klickreiz").

I'm delighted to welcome two distinguished new manufacturers to Dr Dick's Sex Toy Reviews — VirtuallyAdult and RubyGlass21. They've come up with an exquisite line of glass butt plugs that will both dazzle and delight.
Dr Dick
Friends, are you tired of not having anything dazzling to wear on those special occasions when you want to look and feel your best? Ya know, like when you're runnin' the Hoover, taking out the trash (rubbish or BF), or pickin out something butch at Home Depot? Well dear readers, I have just the thing for you. Lookie here! It's a Crystal Delights Blue Anal Plug, or butt plug if you prefer. This is no ordinary plug, no siree; it's bejeweled! So it will dress up any outfit, or no outfit at all.
That's right, sex fans, I'm wearing mine now! Because, like you, I want to have a smile on my face and a spring in my step when I face all of life's tedious tasks like typing this review, laundering my unmentionables or cookin' up a mess of grits for the church social. And the beauty part of this little stunner is that no one would ever guess I'm enjoying a butt-load of delicious pleasure unless they turned me upside down and discovered the authentic Swarovski crystal rockin out where the sun don't shine.
My Crystal Delights Blue Anal Plug is a high quality, hand crafted ultra smooth Pyrex glass insertable manufactured by RubyGlass21 and customized by VirtuallyAdult. The plug features a petite spade-shaped head with a maximum diameter of no more than an inch. This sits gracefully atop an unusually long 2" stem that finally flares out to make the base, in which is embedded the sapphire-like crystal. The Crystal Delights Blue Anal Plug is about 5 inches tall and weighs in at approximately 6 ounces. I say the stem is unusually long, because most all the other plugs I've seen and/or used are squatter. Now that I've tried both, I tend to like the longer-stemmed plug even better than the shorter ones. And god knows I love the shorter ones a lot. I'm also thinkin that this lovely would rock out as a pussy plug too. Imagine the luscious G-spot massage you'd get with each and every step you take.
Everyone has a butthole and the Crystal Delights Blue Anal Plug is an equal opportunity pleasure plug. That being said, I want to address the rest of my comments to my fellow prostate owners. You know how passionate I am about prostate health and prostate self-awareness, right? Well I am of the mind that every guy oughta own at least one butt plug and use it regularly. Beside the pleasure it delivers it has verifiable health benefits.
A plug will massage your P-spot and that's a big part of a maintaining prostate health. And for us more senior men, and the heartbreak of enlarged prostate we so frequently suffer, butt plug therapy can help there too. I mean I'm all in favor of toys that have no other purpose than to dispense a good dose of the jollies. But if a fella can pleasure himself AND do himself some good health-wise…all at the same time; well that just about beats the pants off diddlin' just for fun. Right?
Those of you who regularly follow our reviews will know that all the Dr Dick Review Crew loves us some glass toys. They're gorgeous, of course, but that's only the beginning. They are versatile too. You can warm and chill beautiful art glass toys, like the Crystal Delights Blue Anal Plug, for added sensations. And you can use any kind of lube you want. You'll only need little bit too, because glass gets real slick with just a dab of lube. The petite head on this baby will slip effortlessly into your bum and stay put for hours of glorious backdoor recreation.
