There is no doubt that teen drug rehab in Arizona can help to change lives for the better. Trying to get off drugs and alcohol is challenging enough but can be even more so for a teen. Teen drug rehab can be even more challenging. This can be the case if you live in Arizona or in any other state. There are side effects associated with coming down off of an addictive substance which can be difficult for a teen to handle in some cases. So what are "the effects of teen drug rehab in Arizona?"
In a teen drug rehab, adolescents will experience some uncomfortable things such as withdrawal. Some of the most common side effects of withdrawal are; severe headaches, tremors, anxiety, depression, mood swings, sweats, chills and even hallucinations. It is very difficult for an adult to handle the withdrawal symptoms but for a teen they may be even more intense. Of course, the most serious side effect can be relapse. If the adolescent simply cannot handle the process of detox and teen drug rehab in Arizona, he or she may go back to drugs. Often this happens within a short period of time after teen drug rehab.
Fear of failure should not deter a teen or anyone addicted to drugs from getting the help that they need. Check into a teen drug rehab in Arizona right away and begin therapy as soon as possible. The professionally trained doctors and nurses that work in teen drug rehabs are there to offer round the clock support to help your teen get through the toughest part of drug rehab which are generally the emotional results of drug abuse. They may be able to get your teen to open up and reveal the reasons why they started using drugs in the first place. They will be able to get to the underlying problems that need to be addressed in a way that a parent usually cannot.
Your teen will be able to share experiences with other teens who have the same goals as well as staff members that will help them get through the emotional portion of teen drug rehab in Arizona. The stronger a person is both physically and mentally, the more likely they are not to turn to drugs again when faced with temptation or just dealing with problems in life. A teen drug rehab program can give your teen life lessons that they can use well into adulthood when no one is around to tell them no.

Provided by Texas Tech Athletics:
WACO, Texas – Texas State connected on two runs in the top of the
seventh to propel the Bobcats to the Texas Shootout crown with a 3-1
victory over Texas Tech Sunday afternoon at Getterman Stadium.
The loss snapped a 10-game winning streak for the Red Raiders (11-5), who had previously defeated the Bobcats (8-7) during the tournament opener.
After an early RBI single by Sandy James in the first, Texas State
starter Anne Marie Taylor frustrated the Tech bats, retiring the next
20 hitters in order en route to a one-hit performance.
James singled home Mikey Kenney with one out in the first after Kenney took a leadoff walk. Tech stranded James at second shortly after as Adriana Perez flied to left field and Raven Richardson grounded out on a bunt back to the mound.
Tech starter Cara Custer was equally as effective early on as the right-hander had a no-hitter going until the fourth when Chandler Hall delivered a single to right field.
The Bobcats got to Custer an inning later as Selena Hernandez delivered the first of two RBI in the game with a two-out double just inside the left-field line that easily scored Brooke Keel from second.
Hernandez added her final RBI to break up a 1-1 tie in the seventh as she knocked another two-out hit with a single that brought Keel in from second again, this time just around the tag from an Ashley Hamada throw from the shallow right.
Hall provided some insurance a few moments later as she singled to center field to score Hernandez and give the Bobcats a two-run lead with three outs to play.
Facing a tough wind coming in from left field, the Red Raiders could not keep the ball out of the air in the bottom half of the inning as James, Perez and Richardson all flew out to end the game. Tech had 13 of 21 outs come from balls in the air.
Taylor (6-3) earned the win for the Bobcats as she finished with two strikeouts to go along with a walk in a complete game effort. She held Tech to its fewest runs since the Red Raiders were shut out by Cal Poly Feb. 11 to close the Kajikawa Classic in Arizona.
Brittany Talley (3-2) took the loss for the Red Raiders as she replaced Custer at the start of the sixth. She gave up two runs on two hits while walking two as well. Custer also surrendered two hits with a walk over the first five innings.
The Red Raiders open their home schedule next weekend with the start of the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic. Tech will host UT-Arlington and Binghamton over the three-day event that begins Friday at Rocky Johnson Field.

Coahoma-Forsan boys
FORSAN ŌĆö A big third quarter and a little bit too much speed was CoahomaŌĆÖs undoing as Forsan got a big 47-39 win in District 3-2A play over the Bulldogs Friday in Forsan.
The story for the Bulldogs was the way they came out in the second half.
It was tied at 14 heading into the third quarter, but the game got away from Coahoma a little bit. CHS head coach Kim Nichols said his players couldnŌĆÖt keep up in transition in the third and most notably, ForsanŌĆÖs Ty Johnson was tough to slow down.
ŌĆ£It was 14-14 and we were pretty pleased with how we played defense the first,ŌĆØ Nichols said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm sure (Forsan head coach Gary Huckabee) was, too. Any time you hold somebody to 14 in a half, thatŌĆÖs pretty good. They came out and just did a little bit better job than we did
Even bigger, the Forsan Buffs look like theyŌĆÖre pulling things together at the right time.
Forsan had a slow start to the season and the Buffs are still trying to climb to .500, but a win to start district play does wonders for HuckabeeŌĆÖs squad.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs really big for us because it gives us another level of confidence in what weŌĆÖre doing,ŌĆØ Huckabee said. ŌĆ£The kids are seeing their hard work pay off. I think itŌĆÖs really big for them to have an early win like this in district against a rival team.ŌĆØ
While the Bulldogs will be in Big Lake for the Reagan County tournament, which starts Dec.29, the Buffs will be in the Sterling City tournament on Dec. 28.
These two teams meet again in Coahoma on Jan. 25, 2011.
Coahoma-Forsan girls
FORSAN ŌĆö The Forsan Lady Buffaloes got a win in District 3-2A action against Coahoma the old-fashioned way:through tough defense.
The Lady Buffs beat the Bulldogettes 38-26 Friday in Forsan to move to 7-7 overall and 2-1 in district play.
The Bulldogettes were held without a point in the first quarter and had four in the second and third quarters.
Forsan head coach Robert Hillger was pleased with the way his teamŌĆÖs defense carried the team.
ŌĆ£We played great defense all night long,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£They didnŌĆÖt score at all in the first quarter and they scored four points in the second quarter. ... ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre playing better and better and starting to control the ball the way we want to in terms of executing on offense a little bit better and not letting teams dictate to us how weŌĆÖre going to play.ŌĆØ
While the Lady Buffs played a good game, Bell said her players were not focused on the task at hand Friday night.
ŌĆ£We were thinking about who we were playing and not thinking about needing a win on the road,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£We probably didnŌĆÖt start kicking it in until the second half. Nobody was on at all.ŌĆØ
Jennifer Castilaw had a team-high eight points and Coahoma took a few steps back with FridayŌĆÖs loss.
Bell said the Bulldogettes will have to go back and re-examine themselves before they get into the thick of district play.
Standout point guard Joanna Gonzales did not play the whole second half, hampered by an ankle injury. Bell said she injured it during the Sandhills tournament. After the Post game Tuesday, Gonzales was limping on the injured ankle. Bell said she hopes the break will give Gonzales time to stay off the ankle.View more articles in:

Leading up to this year's Major League Baseball draft, Utah high school players such as Kayden Porter and Conner Williams received the bulk of the attention, as a strong class that would bring the state some notoriety.
Instead, the University of Utah has stolen the spotlight, with two players taken on the second day, and a signee who found himself selected.
Closer Tyler Wagner was drafted in the fourth round by the Milwaukee Brewers. Fellow Ute Parker Morin, originally from Park City, was taken in the 14th round by the Kansas City Royals, and signee Caleb Frare was drafted in the 11th round by the New York Yankees.
Wagner is the fourth Ute in the past five years to be taken in the first five rounds. He holds the single-season school record with 17 saves, and has a career 2.72 ERA.
"I kept hearing that I was going to go somewhere in the first three to five rounds," Wagner said. "It's been a stressful few days. I'm glad that it's over, and that now I can move on to the next phase."
That next phase would be deciding on being a starter or a closer. Wagner prefers life as a reliever, but would also welcome the challenge of being a starter. Either way, Wagner is looked upon as one of the better pitching talents in the draft.
Milwaukee selecting him isn't a shock, considering that the Brewers had continuous dialogue with him. Now that the draft process is over, Wagner says that he's eager to sign and to start playing.
"Their area scout is the guy who has been watching me the longest, so I have a good relationship with the organization," Wagner said. "This is just a very good fit for me, and I'm glad everything has worked out."
Morin was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection this season. He tied for the team lead with 69 hits and knocked home 35 runs.

Just A Nightmare1 Reviews
"Well, those are very good reasons." Ray nodded.
These past few months have been hell. I've gotten morning sickness, my feet hurt, my back hurts and I'm getting bigger by the week. Michael has been such a scout through this all. I'm very happy he's here with me. We even started making plans for the wedding. It would take place at a secret church that wouldn't document the marriage in the government, but in heaven. That way the guys and Michael's parents would be able to attend as well. "You know, the more I think about this it's kinda like Twilight." Gerard explained as he sipped at his coffee sitting on Donna's couch.
"Yeah, but they need to get their facts straight." I agreed somewhat. Michael, Gerard, Frank, Ray and Bob looked at me confused. "Well, we vampires don't shine in the sunlight. We burn. And we are a part of a coven. The only way they would be able to leave was death. The only way I left was because Master 'wanted me to be happy' and he let me leave knowing one day I would come back. And it's very unusual that vampires fall for humans." I explained. "Vampires can live off of animal blood, but then their abilities will weaken. Not be as strong as they are when you drink human blood. And most vampires have no control over their actions once their eyes change and they smell what they want." I added.
"Well, those are very good reasons." Ray nodded.
After more talking Michael and I headed over to our apartment. After dinner and showering I dressed into my pajamas and slipped under the covers where Michael was already laying. "Good night, Michael." I kissed him softly.
"Night." He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around me. Every time he touched me I felt warm and alive. More than ever in my life. "I love you." He whispered. I smiled.
"I love you too." Then I closed my eyes. I drifted into a sleep I would soon wale from.
Standing in the darkness alone. My eyes dared around to find any kind of light, but there was none to be found. My breathing quickened as my heart did. I kept looking around for anyone or anything. "Hello?" I called out just to here it echo back. "Hello?" I tried again, but just hearing my echoes question me back. I sighed. Just then fire lit up around me. I looked around. The temperature was warming up rapidly. I looked down for no apparent reason to see that I was nude. I saw my belly and how big it had become. I looked back up and saw Michael standing a few yards in front of me. "Michael." I smiled. I started towards him, but when I reached him he didn't say anything or move. He didn't even blink. "Michael?" I asked. Then he started.
"Phoenix." He smiled.
"Oh, Michael." I pulled him into a hug. I then pulled back and stroked his cheek. Just as I put my hand back down to my side I saw there were blood red spots growing on his face where I touched him. "Are you okay?" I asked, but he didn't respond. "Michael?" I called. I was worried.
Just then Michael placed his hands over his face. The red spots were spreading rapidly on his face. More dots were being made. I looked closely and smelled the air. Michael's blood was seeping from his pores. I gasped. "Help me, Phoenix." He cried as he looked at his feet. I looked down to see what he was looking at. Michael's feet were dissolving into blood that began to pool around him. I looked at him stare at his feet. He then looked up with tears in his eyes. "Help me." He whispered as his tears fell freely from his eyes. The flames around us began to raise into the dark sky.
I shook my head and placed my hands over my mouth. I cried and cried. I watched as Michael's legs were now dissolving. Reaching his thighs and now his waist. I just watched helpless. Then I ran up to him took his outreached hand. I pulled but nothing came of it. I let go and he let out a high cry. It echoed as the last of his body began to make the pool of blood stretch out. I felt his warm blood cover my feet. I looked down and saw his blood pool around me now.
I started to dissolve just as Michael did minutes before. His blood was like quick sand. I tried to swim and get out. I was up to my chest in blood. I struggled as little as I could. I reached out at nothing. Just then someone gripped my hand. I squeezed the hand. My mouth covered in blood. I saw it was Michael helping me. But then he disappeared into the flames that were closing in on me. I inhaled my last breath through my nose. It smelled of Michael.
I fall hard onto the floor on my side with a loud thud. I was covered in sweat. I lifted myself on my elbow and looked around my room. Yup, I was in my room. I sighed and closed my eyes. I steadied my breathing when Michael came around the bed and kneeled by my side. "Are you okay, Phoenix?" He asked as he helped me sit up. I nodded and leaned my back against my bed. "What happened?" He asked.
"Just a nightmare." I said casually. It was usual for me to have these kinds of nightmares. I looked at Michael who was staring at me. "What?" I asked.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. Truth was, I didn't. I never really shared nightmares. I shook my head. "You sure?" Michael looked at me pleadingly.
"Fine." I smiled. He nodded and waited for me to talk. "Um, well there were flames. All around me. And I was naked. I was still pregnant. I looked around but saw nobody. Then you appeared. Like, out of nowhere. I called your name, but you didn't answer at first. Then I hugged you and touched your cheek." I tried to remember what happened. Images flashed as I continued to explain. "I left blood spots on you. They grew and you were dripping blood from your pores." I looked out into space. "You began to dissolve into blood. It was grotesque." I felt tears well up under my eyelids. "I tried to pull you out, but it didn't help any. I felt so helpless." I felt a stray tears run down my face. "You screamed and then you were done. Gone into the blood. Then it started to eat me. Swallow me like quick sand. I tried to get out, but I couldn't. I reached up and felt someone grip my hand. It was you. But then your vanished into the flames. Then the fire surrounded me and the blood. And as I took my last breath I woke up." I rubbed at my eyes.
Michael held me as I tried not to cry. I hadn't realized I was trembling with fear. "Shh." Michael cooed. "It was just a dream." He whispered. "Now, let's go to sleep." He helped me up and back under the covers. He kissed me on the forehead and climbed in next to me. "Sleep, Phoenix. Just sleep." Michael whispered as he held me and rubbed my arm. I nodded and closed my eyes. I once again fell into a sleep filled with fear.
Waking up the next morning I remembered I needed to be at Irene's wedding. I was the Made of Honor. I looked over at the clock. It read 8:30 AM. I sighed and slipped out of bed making sure not to wake Michael.
I headed to the bathroom to shower. After scrubbing my body I wrapped a towel around me and headed to my closet to get my fixed bridesmaid dress as I grew bigger and didn't fit in my regular size anymore. I slipped it on and looked in the mirror. I looked huge, but still pretty. I guess. I headed to wake Michael, but he wasn't there. I heard the shower stop. I guess I didn't hear him get up. "You look nice." Michael walked in buttoning his dress shirt up trying to hold back laughter.
"Shut up!" I giggled. "I know I look like a big fat whale in this dress, but I promised her I would be her Made of Honor and I will not back down on a promise I made to her. I consider her one of my friends." I smiled brightly.
"You don't look like a whale. But this dress is pretty ridiculous." He walked over and looked at the dress. It was emerald and was very poofy and big. Lots of ruffles and bows and polka dots. It was pretty ridiculous on my part, but I had to wear this.
"I know." I laughed and looked down at the dress. I looked back up and saw Michael had his hand out for me to take. I smiled and placed my hand in his. He grinned and lifted his arm and I went under making a twirl. He smiled and chuckled.
"But you make this dress look beautiful." Michael kissed me softly. I just melted.
Now we had to leave. I got to the chapel an hour early to get my make up and hair done. Michael was sat in the second row along with Irene's grandma and her parents. It was time to walk down the aisle. I was afraid people would laugh at me, but as I walked down with my bouquet of daisies I was surprised no one did. Everyone just gazed in admiration, and I'm pretty sure some people made 'aws' here and there.
Once I was down to the alter I stood up on the top stair and waited for the other bridesmaids to stand next to me wishing they were me. Then the music began. Irene was coming down the aisle with her dad by her side. She looked so beautiful in her white dress with drip beads and long train. Her gloves and her veil draping over her white porcelain face. I looked back at the groom ad saw Scott smile as he kept his eyes on her. Scott was a good man and I knew he would make her happy.
I had to stand the whole ceremony. Which was taking forever because the priest had to squint to read from the Bible. But I stood there patiently. Now we were on our way to the after party. It was going to be huge! There I made a toast to Irene and Scott and wished them a happy marriage. I wonder if my wedding will be like this.
I knew I couldn't drink any champagne and so did everyone else. So they made sure I had everything but liquor. I just drank some water. I was fine with water. I mingled with some people from work who showed up for the wedding and the after party. Michael staying by my side every step of the way. I loved him so much. He made sue I was okay. I stopped and sat down to eat some cake when he got up and said he had to use the restroom. I nodded and he left. "Hey," I heard Irene greet me as she came to sit next to me. "Are you having a good time?" She asked.
"Oh yes. This wedding was beautiful. Everything was perfect. Except for the ceremony." I saw Irene's face drop. "The priest was awfully slow when he was reading from the book." I smiled and laughed. The grin retuned to her face and she giggled.
"Thank you so much, Phoenix." Irene suddenly hugged me. "Thank you for everything." She whispered as she pulled back. I could see the tears in her eyes. "You are such a great person. And I'm happy for you and Mikey." She added.
"Well, thank you." I smiled.
"So, how long were you guys going out before he proposed?" She asked. I flinched when she said, 'Going out.' We never actually been on a real date. We never even dated. Now I'm starting to wonder why he even proposed in the first place.
"Um, well, we never really went out." I bit my lip. She gave me a confused look. "We met way before I interviewed his band. He showed me around New York. Then we just became friends. I didn't even know he was in a band. I've never heard of My Chemical Romance in my life. And when I was given their interview I looked them up and saw he was the bassist." I remembered the plane ride on my way back to New York.
"How did Alicia take it?" She asked shocked. Listening intently.
"Well, he never told her. We were just friends, but I really liked him. He was just my friend at the time he was with Alicia. We just got really, really close and then he left Alicia. He told me he loved me." I smiled. "Acting friends around each other made us show each other more than if we were dating and going to restaurants." I explained. "That's the way I viewed it. Then one day he proposed to me. I really loved him so I just said yes." I smiled remembering everything he said and did. The way I felt. Just the thought relinquished butterflies in my stomach.
"That's so romantic." Irene breathed. I just nodded. The butterflies were still very much alive. Just then I felt something kick in my stomach. I gasped and placed my hand over the spot the baby kicked. "What? Are you okay?" Irene asked her hand hovering over mine.
"I'm fine, but the baby just kicked." I smiled and looked at her. She giggled. Then it kicked again. "Look." I yanked her hand and placed it over the kicks. Her face lit up and she gasped.
"That is so cool." She giggled more. I nodded enthusiastically. Just then I saw Michael come running up to us.
"What's wrong?" Michael panted as he kneeled next to me. Irene took his hand and replaced it with from where her hand had been "Shit." Michael cursed. I bit my lip. "There's our baby." He smiled and kissed me. "The baby's in there." He kissed my tummy next.
We helped pick up after everyone left and then headed home. It had been a fun night. I was just glad I could get this dress off and never where it again. Irene and Scott were off to Italy for their honeymoon.
Once I was in my bedroom I stripped off the dress and pulled on my Sponge Bob pajamas. I could actually breathe in these things. "I am so glad I'm outta that dress." I sighed as I sat next to Michael on the couch in the living room.
"Aww, I loved that dress." Michael whined. I just laughed and hit his arm playfully. He laughed too and then grabbed my hand. He started kissing my knuckles and played with my hands. "I love your hands." He stared at my hands. "They're so soft and delicate." He continued.
Unlike mine. From playing bass so long my fingers are all mashed up." He explained. I looked at him and he looked at me. I leaned in and kissed his sweet pink lips. My lips working against his.
His hands wrapped around the small of my waist, and my hands at his neck. There was much space between him and me. Since my belly was growing so big he didn't want to lean in and smash the baby. I pulled him as close as I could to me. I felt his stomach hit my belly and tried to pull back. I broke apart and pouted. "What?" He asked as if he did something wrong.
"I don't like my belly." I whined.
"Well, it's gonna grow whether you like it or not." He explained. I just glared at him. All of a sudden I felt like screaming at him.
"Do you not want to make out with me because I'm fat?" I felt tears rise in my eyes.
"No! Not at all. I just don't want to squish the baby." He defended. "You're not fat. Once the baby is born you'll return to normal." He added.
"So, you do think I'm fat! Oh my God!" I cried. He thought I was fat and now he didn't want me. That's how I saw it.
"NO! That is not what I think." Michael said softly.
"Really?" I asked. He nodded. I just smiled and kissed him. "I love you." I mumbled into the kiss. He smiled and mumbled it back. I felt my lips vibrate as he said it. "Let's get to bed. I'm tired." I got up and yawned. I headed to the room, Michael followed right behind.
In the dark room again. Flames surrounded me again. I looked around and then looked down. I was clothes this time. I didn't have the baby with me; in my tummy. I started to tremble. Where was the baby? Surely I hadn't had it yet. I heard whispers rummaging about over head in the dark sky. White mist swirled above. Just above me. "Hello?" I called. Then I heard footsteps coming from my right. I turned to see Michael. Relief washed over me. "Michael, you're here." I smiled. He just stood there staring at me. There were dark circles embroidering his eyes. He didn't blink or move a muscle for a few seconds. Then he smiled. I was confused. He still didn't move. "Michael?" I asked. He just kept smiling. But this was not his usual sweet smile. Some deviled smile had replaced that. Evil lurked in his eyes. That I could tell.
I was about to take a step forward to him when he moved. He slowly walked towards me. He stopped inches in front of me. I frowned when he didn't say anything, but kept that smile upon his face. Just then he placed a hand softly over my beating heart. I smiled at him. He didn't respond. "Michael?" I asked again. This time he responded, but in no way that was friendly.

Wade Robson details alleged Michael Jackson abuse
Choreographer Wade Robson has claimed Michael Jackson sexually abused him for seven years.
Michael Jackson has been accused of being a ''paedophile'' who abused a young boy from the ages of seven to 14.
Choreographer Wade Robson filed legal documents on May 1 asking for money from the Michael Jackson Estate in compensation for childhood molestation at the hands of the late pop star - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - and has now opened up about the alleged abuse.
Speaking on the 'Today' show, Wade said he ''was scared psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.
''This is not a case of repressed memory. I never forgot one moment of what Michael did to me.
''He performed sexual acts on me and I performed sexual acts on him.
''It was complete manipulation and brainwashing. He would role-play and train me for these scenarios.
''There is no excuse for what he did to me, but he was a troubled man...The image that one presents to the world is not the whole explanation of who someone is. Michael Jackson was yes, an incredibly talented artist with an incredible gift. He was many things. And he was also a paedophile and a child sexual abuser.''
While Wade - who was one of the witnesses at Michael's child molestation trial in 2005, and his testimony, along with those of his sister and mother, were said to be instrumental in the 'Billie Jean' star's acquittal - has been called a liar by Michael's friend and family for the new allegations, he insists he is telling the truth.
The married father of one said: ''The idea that I would make all of this up and put my wife, my son, my entire family through this extremely stressful and painful experience all for the sake of money? That's completely incomprehensible. I've lived in silence and denial for 22 years...In order to fully heal, I have to speak the truth and I have to speak the whole truth.''

I want to design my own website and get a company to host it? Could I get a host to help me with technical problems say for example if it went down or something was not working correctly? Or do I need to take care of technical problemss? and would it be hard for me to deal with say for example my site going down? and would I be able to solve such an issue?

"Could I get a host to help me with technical problems say for example if it went down or something was not working correctly?"
If your site goes off-line it will almost certainly be a server fault, and the host will know about it - lots of other sites will be hosted on the same server. It's a very rare occurrence with good hosting companies, in fact it's so rare it's not worth worrying about.
'Something not working correctly' will almost certainly be down to you - an error in site design, or something that hasn't been uploaded to the server. You might find that your host will offer a database of commonly asked questions, but don't count on it. You'll get free help and advice here, so don't let it be a worry.
fourm member's advice is good - don't try to predict the problems - face them as they arise. Designing and publishing a first website puts you on a learning curve,but you can find the answer to more or less anything on the web - let Google and us be your friends.

Hosts will definitely help you out as long as the problem is caused by their server and not by you. Its their responsibility since you are paying them.

If you find a good host, like LiquidWeb or BlueHost etc, they provide excellent support and will help you with a lot of things. I currently use LiquidWeb and they've been incredibly helpful in the 6 months I've used them.

Anna Kendrick – Cups (Jellosea Remix)
So the first time I watched "Pitch Perfect" the movie, I was actually surprised at how entertaining the whole thing was. Between Adam Devine from Workaholics and Fat Amy it was just to funny to not watch. With that being said, Anna Kendrick the main character in the movie performed a song titled "Cups" to secure her singing spot. This song is getting bigger and bigger and people have started to remix the song. Well this Jellosea remix I can't get enough of. Keeping the ambient slower vibe, Jellosea does a great job adding the right synths to compliment the single. Let us know what you think. Enjoy.

All-rounder Graham Napier impressed with bat and ball on the opening day of Essex's County Championship match against Northamptonshire to keep his side in the picture.
Essex were bowled out for just 183 with Napier's 73 not out off 65 balls, including five sixes, the only resistance with Steven Crook taking 4-39.
Napier then took 3-30 as the visitors clawed their way back into contention by reducing Northants to 156-5 at the close with their captain Stephen Peters top-scoring with 60 off 92 deliveries.
Essex's Rob Quiney was the first to fall as he was trapped lbw for 25. Five overs later, Ben Foakes (four) departed when he edged Steven Crook to Northants wicketkeeper David Murphy and Trent Copeland then removed Tom Westley for 30.
Two wickets in four balls fell in the final over before lunch when Mark Pettini (four) was taken by Copeland at third slip off Crook before the same man bowled Essex captain and wicketkeeper James Foster.
Bad to worse
It went from bad to worse for them in the second over of the afternoon when England's Ravi Bopara (six) tentatively nudged to Murphy to give Crook his fourth wicket. David Willey then got in on the act when Greg Smith walked on 15 after edging to Murphy.
Maurice Chambers made just a single, Reece Topley was bowled by Andrew Hall for a five-ball duck before Essex's innings came to an end when Tymal Mills (six) scooped Willey to Rob Newton at gully.
Napier struck in the eighth over of Northants' reply when Kyle Coetzer wafted his delivery to Westley at second slip to depart for 12.
Four balls later, David Sales (four) chipped Napier to Chambers at midwicket with Alex Wakely (11) following him by tamely picking out Bopara at square leg off Chambers.
Peters did his all to stabilise his side's innings by going past 50 off 76 deliveries but he perished when Pettini took a good low catch at slip off Topley. Hall (13) then became the 15th wicket to fall on a frenetic day's play when he edged Napier to Pettini at first slip.

Personally, I'd rather stick with my 13/0/58 build for solo/5-mans and have a 57/3/11 for 5-mans/raids. I don't PvP except for Wintergrasp from time to time, so there's no point in me having a spec for it. And yes I know I said both for 5-mans. I like to take bosses on as arcane instead of frost. Much more fun.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – A Wilmington man is expected to spend up to eight years in prison followed by four years supervised release for his involvement in selling crack cocaine.
According to the NC Department of Justice, Michael Renard Harrison, 42, pleaded guilty to conspiracy with the intent to distribute and distribution of 28 grams or more of crack cocaine.
During an undercover investigation, officials made three undercover purchases of more than five ounces of crack from Harrison between February 2010 and May 2010.
Harrison was stopped by deputies of the Florence County Sheriff's Office in February 2012 and found he was transporting more than $14,000 in drug proceeds.
According to the NJDOJ, the investigation revealed Harrison was responsible for distributing more than four kilograms of cocaine and half a kilogram of crack cocaine.

Argentina is known around the globe for its asado, or barbecue, and 'sal parrillera' is an essential ingredient for Argentinian-style barbecued meats and seafood. Made with refined rock salt, this barbecue salt's unique medium-sized grains are perfect for meats and seafood on the grill or in the oven.
Produced in Argentina by Dos Anclas, this salt is wonderful as a seasoning for beef, pork or poultry as well as fish and shellfish. Sometimes simple is best and the only seasoning a good piece of meat needs is a little salt. Sprinkle or rub this salt on meats or fish prior to grilling. Let the meat rest for a few minutes so that the salt will begin to dissolve and tenderize the meat.

Q&A: What is Clomid?
What is Clomid and what should I expect if my doctor recommends it?
Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a medication used to help regulate ovulation in women who have had difficulty conceiving naturally. It helps to stimulate the production of the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) that help women ovulate each month.
Clomid can be taken if:
- Your estrogen and pituitary functioning are normal
- Your partner is fertile
- You are trying to increase ovulation for eggs to be used for in vitro fertilization (IVF)
Depending on what your doctor decides, other medications may be used in conjunction with Clomid.
How Do I Take Clomid?
Clomid is taken orally in pill form. The dosage will be determined by your doctor and may sometimes be adjusted depending on your response to the medication. You will start taking Clomid three to seven days after the first day of your cycle, using the first day of your period as day one. Your doctor may monitor you with an ultrasound and/or blood work, or may just give you some time to become pregnant and have you follow up.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) practice bulletin, most women using Clomid will become pregnant within three to six cycles.
Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medications. Your doctor should review them with you to prevent medication interaction.
Are There Side Effects?
Here are the side effects most commonly reported with Clomid use:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Stomach upset
- Abdominal bloating
- Breast tenderness
Stay in touch with your doctor and report how you are feeling. If any of the side effects seems to be worsening, stop taking the medication right away. Many women may need support when trying to conceive. Find a support group (such as BabyZone's
Assisted Trying to Conceive or
TTC for Two Years or Over) or talk to someone if you have questions or want to share concerns.

This is a variation on the fairy tale, "The Goose Girl". I would also advise reading this, if only because there are at least three more sequels and the story sticks in your heart.

"This was my first order with tinyprints and wasn't certain what to expect. The paper and print quality were exceptional - there was no bleeding on the picture at all. We chose it not only for it's design, but it provided us the ability to add a large picture, suitable for framing, and allowed us to save on having to print larger pictures. I had picked out five designs, and of those, my son picked this one - he was very happy with it once it arrived.

Parking Solutions
These states have added or plan to add parking facilities:
Florida: Recently the Federal Highway Administration awarded $1 million to the state to add 90 parking spaces at the Florida 595 Truck Stop in Davie. The goal is to supplement the facility's 35 paved spots by early 2013.
Iowa: Over the past decade, Iowa has opened truck parking at abandoned weigh and inspection stations and reconfigured rest areas to add more spaces.
Missouri: From 2002 to 2010, Missouri added more than 400 spaces at rest areas and former weigh stations.
Utah: Utah is considering options for increasing parking along I-15, a key commercial route from Southern California ports. Among the possibilities under a $545,000 grant is working with big-box retailers to create truck parking.
Oregon: With a $480,000 federal grant, the state is working with a native American tribe to build and operate parking spaces on I-5 in southern Oregon. The tribe already runs a truck stop and rest area and is likely to expand truck parking at those locations.
Scoping the I-95 corridor
Some of the worst parking shortages occur along the East Coast. For nearly 20 years, federal and state transportation officials have been working to find solutions to traffic congestion and parking availability on the I-95 corridor from Florida to Maine. Early projects focused on creating 511 information systems and other technology deployment.
A current $5.5 million program aims to work with public and private facilities to monitor how many parking spaces are open by using thermo-optical imaging technology and cameras. Information would be updated every two minutes and made available to truckers through a website and/or smartphones, says Marygrace Parker, I-95 Corridor Coalition coordinator. The information might focus on specific truck stops or rest areas or those clustered in a geographic area chosen by the trucker.
The coalition considered a space-reservation system, but drivers voiced reluctance to pay for reservations, Parker says.
In Maryland, testing is under way on cameras that cost $150,000 to deploy, Parker says. In January equipment will be installed at four or five truck stops in Maryland and New York State. Carriers will be recruited to test the equipment to make sure it's working properly. By the end of 2012, the goal is to expand the project to 14 or so sites along the corridor.
"Regardless how much information you put out, there's still a capacity issue," Parker says. "We hope to eliminate vehicles having to park on road shoulders and ramps, even though spaces might be available."
Among major truck stop chains, Pilot Flying J's network numbers more than 550 facilities with more than 50,000 parking spaces. The company plans further expansion through new locations or acquired facilities, a spokesperson says.

After assassinating a public official, 47 becomes ensnared in a political conspiracy. He finds himself pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military. The film stars Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, and Olga Kurylenko. A film reboot, titled Agent 47, is in production, slated for release in 2015.The film received generally negative reviews. Rotten Tomatoes reported that 14% of critics gave the film a positive rating, based on 98 reviews, with an average score of 3.7/10. Metacritic gave the film a metascore of 35 based on 22 reviews. The most common complaints are a lacking, often confusing plot, dry acting and extreme violence. However, film critic Roger Ebert gave it three stars out of four, saying "Hitman stands right on the threshold between video games and art. On the wrong side of the threshold, but still, give it credit".

Updated November 14, 2012: A federal report says a southwest Missouri plane crash that killed two men may be linked to mechanical problems.
The crash happened November 4 in Stotts City, killing Richard Armstrong of Neosho and Royce Edwards II of Joplin.
The National Transportation Board's preliminary report says a witness saw fluid spewing out of the plane's right engine about 25 minutes after take-off.
The pilot was trying to find a place to land when the plane pitched upward, rolled, then crashed.
Reported November 6, 2012: The victims of a fatal plane crash on Sunday in Lawrence County, Missouri have been identified.
Richard Armstrong Jr., 50 of Neosho, and Royce Edwards II, 41 of Joplin, died in the crash.
Authorities say the small plane took off from Monett Airport and went down in a wooded area.
Investigators say a preliminary report on the crash is expected in about five days.

Opentable reserving for the wrong time? [moved from San Francisco board]
Last night I had reservations for 8pm, but for some reason Opentable registered it to their computer as 6.30. So when we showed up, there was no table available. I definitely made a reso for 8, because they sent me a confirmation email with that time. The hostess explained that this had happened before, when Opentable inexplicably used a different time than the one it showed on the screen. Luckily they had room at 8:30, so the damage was minimal, but if I had reserved for a Friday night, our evening probably would have been ruined. One of my dining companions last night said that this had happened to him before as well -- Opentable assigned him a completely different evening.
What the heck is going on? How often does this happen, and how long as this been going on? That's bad enough to make me reserve on the phone, every single time.
Computerized systems make mistakes, simple as that. Most restaurants I book call a day or two ahead to confirm a reservation; if there is a mistake I iron it out then. Or call ahead of time yourself to ensure the date and time of your reservation is correct. "Back in the day" a person on the other end of the phone could have easily made the same mistake taking your reservation with paper and pen. No system is a perfect one.
re: Robert Lauriston
Yah I was shocked, quite frankly. Until now I've never had a problem either (actually there was an incident at Boulud Sud a few months ago in which I was down for the wrong day, but I'm not sure that it wasn't human error on my part), but then the hostess and my friend both nodded knowingly.
Either way I will definitely be heeding ttoommyy's advice from now on.
re: ceekskat
In fact I was planning to send them an email (that is literally the last thing that should be broken on that website), but there wasn't an obvious "contact us" link. I will search harder later.
I had an issue last week with AQ which uses Urbanspoon. I had a reservation - then they sent an email two days before asking me to re-confirm. But when I clicked on the link, there was no reservation to re-confirm.
I then called AQ - no answer so I left a message. They never called me back. Because the reservation was a special occasion, I had to cancel because I had no confidence that the reservation was ever actually made.
Contact open table.
At the host stand you can always ask for them to clock on your history and select the reservation. This will show any changes made to your reservation and if they were made online or by the host. I know this does not help you at this point. but for the future.
I think OT only allows one to make one reservation on a given date for a given restaurant. Where I've goofed in the past is in trying to change the time of my reservation. They send an email confirmation with an embedded link to change/cancel. I've inadvertently cancelled my reservation when I thought I was changing the time. I think the confusion is compounded by when your email server delivers the cancel or change messages. If close together, you really have to pay attention to what you're doing.
re: rubadubgdub
No, that definitely isn't what happened. Since I was on their system for a different time, that would have required me to inadvertently select a new time, which is very unlikely to happen with an accidental click on a link. Moreover, even if I had made some change, inadvertent or not, I would then have received a second email confirming the change, which did not happen.
re: dunstable
Wow, interesting - I use OT a lot and have never had this happen (knock on wood, fingers crossed). OT should be sending you a followup email, you can respond to them that way. I've found their customer svc surprisingly good when I've had a rare problem arise.
Let us know what happens, a lot of us will be following this.
They sent me an email asking why I did not show up for my 6:30 reservation. This is good, actually; now they can confirm via their own correspondence that two different times existed in their system.
It's starting to smell like I am not going to hear from them on this matter, one way or another. They did send me an email saying that I will not be credited with a no-show, at least. I have to say, though, that this sort of error probably merits some sort of compensation to the diner. In my case, there was no real damage, but that easily could have resulted in a spoiled evening for four people. At the very least, an apology would be nice.
Late last night I received this response:
Thank you for contacting OpenTable!
On behalf of OpenTable, I would like to offer my deepest apologies regarding your unpleasant experience. We will address the situation in an effort to avoid this happening in the future. Your happiness is our first priority!
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know, and thanks again for choosing OpenTable!

I guess that's the end of that. Presumably they will fix this; probably most diners won't be as sanguine.
That is very interesting you had this problem. Depending how far out you booked your reservation, I often get a call from the restaurant confirming the reservation. I guess that is the one other fail safe, but something that not every restaurant does.
So, this article recently was put out by Bon Appetit:
Eater.com figured out that the restaurant in question was One Market, and yes, they use Opentable.
Opentable has a serious problem. As a former programmer myself, I'm having trouble understanding why this should be so difficult.
re: dunstable
"Opentable has a serious problem. As a former programmer myself, I'm having trouble understanding why this should be so difficult."
Stuff happens. Computers and people are not perfect. "Back in the day" I had reservations "lost" when all we had was the telephone, pen and paper. Life goes on.
Anyway, the gist of this editorial is that the problem was with the restaurant staff, not Open table so much. No?
btw...we have made hundreds of OT reservations and have had only one problem over the years with a "lost reservation;" and that was because my husband booked for the wrong week!
re: ttoommyy
Well the staff definitely could have handled it better (for what it's worth, I've dined there before and had a perfectly fine evening), but it is OpenTable that lost the reservation, not the restaurant. That's how it works: a person makes the reservation online, and Opentable directly enters that information into the restaurant's computer. The only way the restaurant could have lost the reservation is if they manually removed it for whatever reason, but One Market is not exactly The French Laundry; they have no reason to boot anybody.
Computers do not make mistakes if they are correctly programmed. That is practically the entire point of computers. Obviously programmers aren't perfect either, and bugs happen, but this is a particularly egregious error involving the primary function of the software. Someone needs to pull all-nighters until this is fixed.
And by the way, I too had made many Opentable reservations before. I'm not on Chowhound by accident; I eat out too, you know.
re: dunstable
You are acting like this is a serial problem and it just is not. There are a number of threads on CH praising OT. "Someone needs to pull all-nighters until this is fixed" is a bit over overkill, in my opinion.
re: ttoommyy
Actually, it is inherently a serial problem. Computers are not like cars or typewriters or automatic rifles; they do not simply jam up and stop working after a while. If a mistake happened, it is because there is a logical error in the programming. Perhaps they do not need to pull all-nighters, but they do need to fix it.
And again, it's not like having a slow download or a glitchy playback: this is a fundamental error in the primary function of the software. You would not accept your car if it once in a while, just refused to move from time to time. You would buy a new one, or you wouldn't buy the same car again. You would not tolerate your typewriter if it wrote something different from what you were typing, and so on. What is the difference?
Frankly, it's a bit vulgar for you to dismiss these incidents, simply because you have no experience with them. Bully for you that you've never had any problem, but I did, and this happens to be the thread in which I discuss it. If this bothers you, feel free to offset this by reading those other complimentary threads about Opentable that you mentioned.
re: dunstable
re: ttoommyy
Actually, I was too harsh, I'm sorry.
re: dunstable
If you can't reproduce the problem, you can't figure out how to fix it. Intermittent bugs are the worst. "Can't reproduce" is a common status for closed bugs.
I've used Opentable often enough to accumulate 4700 points, even though only a small percentage of my reservations give me points, and I've never encountered a mistake.
That bonappetit.com thing is a blog post and says it's about a free meal someone arranged for him. If somebody shows up for a comped meal and the restaurant can't find the reservation, I can see how they might suspect it was a scam.
re: dunstable
Jason Kessler's Bon-Appetit story left unclear the circumstances of the reservation itself, reporting only that it wasn't in the computer as expected. The start of the story implies that this reservation was among a group of them at various restaurants, made on his behalf by others.
Curious to rule out other possible explanations, I posted a comment there last night, seeking clarification.
re: dunstable
The initial problem you reported was the time in the restaurant's Opentable book not matching the time in the confirmation email, which is clearly a bug in Opentable.
Blaming Opentable for One Market having no record of Kessler's alleged reservation is a big stretch. Somebody making a reservation for someone else would probably not use Opentable. The person who was supposed to make it the reservation might simply have neglected to, or might have made it by phone and the reservationist failed to enter it into the system properly.
re: Robert Lauriston
Your restaurant didn't use Opentable? Well, I don't know how Urbanspoon or any of the other services work, but...
Opentable is not simply the UI for diners to enter reservation requests. It is also the table management system for the restaurant. When a user makes a reservation online, it directly interacts with the restaurant's computer, which is also supplied by Opentable. So just like there is no human bank teller to do the legwork behind your ATM transaction, there is no hostess that manually enters your reservation after you make one online. It's already done.
Similarly, if you make a reservation on the phone with a restaurant that uses Opentable, the person on the other end of the phone is inputting your information directly into their computer, which then updates the information on the website. Thus, there is no alternate reservation means -- even when you do it in person, you're using Opentable.
As eatsalot pointed out, the author didn't include all the details, so technically, I do not know the specifics. So yes, it is possible that there was some sort of human error, but it is hardly a "big stretch" to assume that it was the same problem that befell other people. If the author had this meal immediately before he wrote the article, it happened around the same time it happened to me.
re: dunstable
It's true that if a restaurant uses Opentable, all reservations go into the Opentable system.
But when a reservation made by phone isn't in the system, it's often user error. Whoever input the reservation got the date, time, or name wrong, or got distracted and failed to save the resevation properly, or they were not at a computer so they wrote it down and forgot to enter it. I've made hundreds of reservations with OT and never had one go missing. The only problem we encountered with OT's software at my restaurant was the web site falsely telling potential customers that we had no tables available.
That's in sharp contrast to your problem, which didn't seem to leave room for user error. The time getting changed without an email notification to the user could reflect corruption in the database (which is on the turnkey host Opentable leases to each restaurant).
