Residential Treatment Center
What is a Residential Treatment Center?
A residential treatment center is a live-in facility that specializes in the treatment of chemical dependency (drug use), alcoholism, or psychological problems. Mental health issues may coexist with substance abuse, which is referred to as "Dual Diagnosis." Psychological problems appropriate for a residential treatment center include bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, personality issues, psychological trauma such as PTSD, and self-injury behavior (cutting).
Residential Treatment Centers are appropriate for persons with these issues who are having significant disruptions in their lives, including loss of job or school, destruction of intimate relationships, estrangement or difficulties with family members and/or isolation. Residential treatment centers may also address eating disorders, sexual problems, violence and other behavioral problems. Most residential treatment centers house adults, but many specialize in services for older children, adolescents and young adults. Residential treatment centers may be "locked", with limitations of a Client's ability to leave the house, receive visitors, or participate in outside activities. "Unlocked" facilites range from supervisory to completely free of constraints, consistent with a sober living model.
An important advantage of a residential treatment center is that the environment may be less threatening and more healing than a psychiatric hospital or drug rehabilitation unit. Often, Clients in a residential treatment center function like a family, which acts as a treatment milieu separate from actual individual or group therapy. Another advantage residential facilities offer is that they can be highly specialized to treat specific addictive behaviors or psychological problems. Because they are smaller and usually private facilites, control over staff and mental health professionals can be tighter, and a high quality of service can be maintained. Many residential treatment centers have high success rates in helping their Clients overcome drug and alcohol problems, as well as psychological disorders.
What is the Cost of Residential Treatment?
Residential treatment centers vary in price, as well as what type of payment they will accept. Prices for residential treatment range from $10-60,000 per month for full service programs. It should be noted that the cost of a program does not exactly correlate with the quality or success rate of that program. Many more expensive programs offer spa-like services which do not necessarily produce better outcomes. Sober living houses do not offer specific treatment modalities, and thus Clients are paying only for living expenses such as food and housing. Sober living houses range in price from $3-10,000 per month, and Clients are mainly paying for the healing milieu (living with other persons in recovery for support).
Many private centers accept only direct payment up front, either by credit card, wire transfer, or check. These residential treatment facilities are considered "private pay" and they are not contracted with nor do they accept insurance. Some private pay facilities will prepare an insurance "superbill" so that a Client can be reimbursed for specific services covered out of network. Private health care financing companies, such as Clark Behavioral Health Care Financing can offer loans for residential treatment services to qualified persons or their families.
Residential treatment centers that do accept insurance may be contracted or non-contracted. Contracted centers have arranged a specific payment arrangement with insurance carriers, and a large portion or all of the treatment may be covered. Out of network or non-contracted centers will have limitations on who can receive treatment at that center and how much insurance will cover. Oftentimes a non-contrtacted center will require that a Client pay a significant portion of their charges. Very few centers will accept Medicare or Medicaid or other government insurance plans.
Thus, it is important that a Client or family looking for residential treatment services check carefully to determine what type of payments any individual center accepts, so they can find a financial arrangement that works for them.
What types of Services do Residential Treatment Centers offer?
Alcohol and chemical dependency residential treatment centers offer a wide variety of services. Psychiatric care and psychological therapy may be provided. 12-step programs may be incorporated into treatment, as well as group therapy, client educational courses, spiritual programs, life skill courses, interventions and detoxifications.
Psychological residential treatment centers may offer individual and group psychotherapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Neurofeedback, process groups, anger management, sleep therapy and holistic treatment modalities. Many psychological residential treatment facilities customize their treatment plans for specific psychological issues. These centers have high rates of success in improving their Client's lives and ability to function in society.
A big advantage of residential treatment centers over outpatient psychotherapy or medication treatment is the healing milieu. The milieu is the environment that exists in the residence house that provides support and encouragement to Clients. Living and undergoing treatment with other Clients experiencing similar difficulties provides a strong support structure which results in better awareness and more rapid healing and personal growth.
What are advantages of a Holistic Treatment Approach?
Residential treatment centers that focus on a holistic approach offer specific advantages. A core philosophy to treat the whole patient, physically, mentally, and socially allows for improved healing and growth. While hospitals and some treatment centers rely on medications, a holistic residential treatment center that attempts to treat with the least amount of medication possible to achieve the desired results is a unique advantage.
Where are Residential Treatment Centers located?
Residential treatment centers are located throughout the United States. California and Florida have been at the forefront of the growth of this industry. Clients from across the country will find it worthwhile to travel to a residential facility that has specific expertise in their problem and a high success rate. Clients and their families should carefully research each treatment program, whether the problem is chemical dependency, alcohol abuse, a specific psychological problem, or a Dual Diagnosis. Time should be spent in discussion with a representitive from the facility over the phone, and an in-person meeting and tour of the facility is useful to make sure the program is the right fit for the Client.

These people are not very pet smart. I called them about my dog was having problem with having her puppies.I did not have the money to pay the vet to see my dog. I was told by the receptionist to go pawn something then and bring the dog in. I was very disappointed with this vet. I feel that these people are more interested in making money than to help the animal. My dog was suffering.
I ve had several major issues since I began to use this office around the first of 2012. They are human, of course!!! They are also compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable, straight forward, humble, FAIR, friendly, clean, kind, and I m sure there is more but I can t think of them right now. I m EXTREMELY appreciative of all they have done for me and my fur babies!!! Having had 3 surgeries...

Surprisingly, ESPN dropped out of the running to air the NCAA tournament. In the meantime, CBS will now share the duties with Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting, which will air NCAA games on TBS, TNT and truTV. The deal runs through 2024.
CBS had not been able to air all the games at the same time since the network lacks multiple cable channels.
Between the two networks, $10.8 billion will be expended over a dozen years. And there will be 68 games instead of 65, if the Division 1 board of directors approves.
Here's more info from the New York Times:
Through 2015, CBS will cover the regional finals, the Final Four and the championship game. But starting in 2016, CBS and Turner will split the regional finals and the Final Four, and the national championship game will alternate annually between CBS and TBS.

Carrie Prejean and her NFL man Kyle Boller tied the knot yesterday at the Grand Del Mar Resort in San Diego.
Opposite marriage is legal in the state of California.
Congratulations to the happy trio - bride, groom and her vibrator/co-star
She is soooo HOT! Great piece off the market for now...
I thought only virgins wore white on their wedding day
With all the fuss this bitch made about the sanctity of marriage, you'd think she'd get married in a church!
Congratulations on being born heterosexual and therefore being able to get married.
Best wishes to her and husband. I fully support her right to speak out for what she believes in.
Of course, I wish them the best. But what do you want to bet that this opposite marriage doesn't last?
For a publication that trades on the first amendment, it's amazing how catty you people are about someone who exercised her own right to free speech. Happy Independence Day.
It's not "opposite marriage," it's just marriage. You gays are too much.
Good for Kyle. I didn't even know Carrie was dating him.
TMZ appears to have a problem with hetrosexuality. God doesn't but TMZ does.
Her car needs to roll over with her trapped inside. That is all I will say. :P
No..I changed my mind. F*CK THE STUPID HYPOCRITE B*TCH TO HELL.
#13 Why would you believe in a book of fairy tales from the Middle East. You are insane. People don't like the Middle Esat yet they will believe a bunch of translated ridiculous tales from the place. Makes no sense.

This is awesome. I've been taking screenshots for nearly 6 years, and I've always meant to compose a similar chronicle of my own main character from 2004. I actually draw a lot as well, and have been thinking of mixing illustration. Awesome to see someone actually do what I've been day dreaming about all this time. Awesome job, I love the look of your site. Going back to the level one episodes really serves to stir up some nostalgia, great job, again.

David's first acting role was in a high school production of "Riders to the Sea". He played the role of Bartley, and Irish fisherman who spent most of the play lying dead onstage, which made his mother cry. He has written nearly one hundred English language adaptations of foreign comics including "Me and the Devil Blues", which won a Glyph Award in 2009.

Shan Carter on data storytelling
Shan Carter, who makes interactive graphics for The New York Times, talks telling stories with data in his aptly named presentation, "How I tried for years to find the perfect form for interactive graphics, how I failed, and why, whether a perfect form exists or not, I've stopped my desperate pursuit."
He starts with finding a balance between statistical analysis and story, and then finishes with the kicker that visualization is a form of communication just like a movie or a book. And that carries with it its own implications.
The short Q&A at the end is pretty good, too. Just ignore the first obligatory question on how you make graphics that get more traffic.
[Video Link via @mericson]
5 Comments
I think he has some good ideas buried in there, but he isn't presenting them well… which is kind of ironic for a guy who presents information for a living.
Thanks Shan Carter for a conversational summary of many of the underlying decisions that need to be made to effectively interpret and authentically represent perspectives and story inherent in project data. And thanks Flowing Data for sharing the video coverage!

text: Assuming the problems we had with colour print were isolated to this particular review sample, as we strongly suspect, this is a serviceable office workhorse for colour printing, copying and scanning. Even so, the fact we couldn't quickly cure the problem must put some question mark over the reliability of the machine. A front-panel USB socket would also be a useful addition for direct scanning and printing.

This was so good! Instead of the lettuce in the recipe, I grilled split romaine hearts (from another cooking light recipe) and the whole thing was grilled! It was so good. I can't wait to make it again. I agree that the bread could use some flavor but it isn't bad the way it is, just toasted bread. Enjoy!

Bold Bedroom Redo
Bold Bedroom Redo
A set of vibrant botanically patterned throw pillows acted as the inspiration for this budget-friendly bedroom redo. Olive green walls are balanced by rich red bedding and black accents. Unfinished bookcases, painted the same shade as the walls, provide the look of built-ins without the expense. The two nightstands add extra storage space in an inexpensive and innovative way. Personal artwork, framed in black and grouped for impact, hangs above the bed. » see room | » rate it

The absence of menstruation during puberty or later in a woman's life is called amenorrhea. This condition occurs in two forms, primary and secondary amenorrhea. The absence of menstruation and secondary sexual characteristics (pubic hair, breast development) in females by age fourteen or the absence of menstruation with normal development of secondary sexual characteristics in girls by age sixteen is primary amenorrhea. This affects less than 3 percent of adolescent girls. Females who were menstruating but then stop for three consecutive months or longer have secondary amenorrhea. Some experts

From the frying pan to the Fire?
- 0Jun 19, '12 by TinabeanrnSo I went on an interview today for a clinic to work part time on Saturdays. I am a new grad and I will be working full time in home care, so this would be a nice experience for me. At any rate, the nurse recruiter wanted me to work the week of July because the physician is out of town. It would be my first week EVER as an NP. Its a one provider clinic so I would be alone. Seems sort of weird to me. I kept reminding him that I am a new grad. Shouldn't I have some sort of orientation? He said he would see if he could get me a 4 hour "working interview." Is this the norm? Do you just pretty much get thrown out there and then sink or swim? I don't mind jumping right in, but I would like to have a resource person or someone to bounce ideas off of seeing as how I am brand new. I remember as a new nurse I got 6 weeks of orientation. I would think that you would get a few weeks as an NP. Any personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

- 0Jun 19, '12 by TinabeanrnI know right. How long should it be? How long was your orientation for your first job? Thanks for replying
- 1Jun 19, '12 by traumaRUs AdminI'm still at my first job - 6 years later. I work in nephrology and had zip, nada, no experience with when I started. My orientation was 5 months long: mixture of didactic from MDs and clinical with NPs and PAs. It took that long to get credentialed at all the five hospitals, go thru all the hospitals orientation and get to know all the documentation stuff and then finally to learn my job - lol.
- 0Jun 24, '12 by TinabeanrnThanks clinciNP. I needed that. I have a second interview there tomorrow. I need to know how long to ask for.

It's the story that continues to get more unbelievable by the day.
According to a report from the Hartford Courant, investigators in the Aaron Hernandez murder case were prepared to interview Thaddeus Singleton III, an associate of Aaron Hernandez. However, Singleton was involved in an apparent car accident this weekend, driving a car registered to the uncle of Hernandez.
Per the Courant:
Multiple law enforcement sources said Thaddeus Singleton III, 33, was associated with Hernandez and of interest to investigators. Singleton was killed when the car he was driving flew off the road, split a pole in half and careened into Farmington Country Club. Police said the car was registered to Aaron Hernandez's uncle, who is Singleton's father-in-law.
His death was ruled an accident, and it is unclear whether he knew of investigators' interest in his connection to the former New England Patriot star tight end, a Bristol native.
A woman was also injured in the crash, though there's been no confirmation if she was a passenger in the vehicle or if she was hurt when the car crashed into a building at the Farmington Country Club.

Editor's Note: Where can a Keuka degree take you? This is the third in a series of snapshot profiles on members of Keuka's Class of 2013.
Emily Ekstrom '13 graduated cum laude with a B.S. in education and has accepted a post as a special education teacher serving grades 3-5 at Holiday Park School in Phoenix, Ariz.
During her four years at Keuka, the Ashville, N.Y. resident participated in the Equestrian and Education clubs, worked as a lifeguard and also as a facilitator for the Teamworks! Adventure course, served on Student Senate and was vice-president of Sigma Lambda Sigma, Keuka's college-wide honor society.
"Although I have never done a Field Period at the school, my previous Field Periods have helped," she said, referring to Keuka's required 140-hour annual internship. "As much as I hated the paper work, I loved my Field Periods and all the experiences I gained from them."
Ekstrom's prior Field Period internships included a third-grade inclusion classroom in Bowling Green, Va., a 4-H summer camp in Long Island, N.Y., a month in two different special education classrooms at Chautauqua Central School, and a fourth-grade classroom in Falconer, N.Y.
Ekstrom added that another bonus was the support from close personal ties at Keuka, such as those she found in the division of education, via a mentor affiliated with the Teamworks! Adventure course and the College chaplain.
To explore what might be in your future with a Keuka degree, request more information.
Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a series of profiles on new, full-time faculty members who have joined the Keuka community.
Perhaps it's fair to say that Angela Narasimhan is intent on expanding the borders of possibility, whether those borders be in political science, motherhood and family life, or long-held traditions about college education.
Indeed, Keuka's newest assistant professor of political science went beyond borders to pursue her collegiate studies, moving from Washington, D.C., to Romania, where she spent a year in language school before earning her B.A. in political science from Babes-Bolyai (pronounced "Bobbish- Boyea") University in Transylvania, Romania. That was followed by a master's degree in political science from Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. And while her Ph.D. – also in political science – is from Syracuse University, Narasimhan maintains a particularly global view on American politics.
"I wanted to study post-communist transition, but I was very interested in American politics from an international perspective. My dissertation was on globalization and the Supreme Court, and how different American institutions are dealing with globalization," she said, adding that her studies have also touched on American politics, public law and public policy.
"We have many individual rights. We have the strongest, most enduring constitution, and we're very inclusive, very democratic. These are all important, unique things that many Americans take for granted," she said. "At the same time, we also lag behind other countries in certain things, and there's a lot of fear of globalization undermining American values. However, the world is increasingly interdependent. We have to deal with other countries on a more direct basis, and we're expected to have a global set of abilities to compete."
Prior to coming to Keuka, Narasimhan taught political science at Idaho State University and the Unversity of North Dakota. She and her husband, Kamesh, who hails from India, moved to be near her parents, who had retired to Central New York.
"I've been to more rural places than Keuka and Keuka is more diverse than some places," she said. "Keuka has this international program reputation, so I was excited to come to a place where students do travel and get out in the world, but it's not just traveling abroad. Once you work in a real-world environment, you start to understand the practical skills you can take away. I like that. I like to teach to the real world; that fits with my personality. Experiential learning is a contact back and forth between practical and theoretical and that's how my academic pursuit has always been."
The lights will soon dim in a campus building near you.
That's what students working on the Keuka College CSI (Campus Sustainability Initiative) project are hoping. As members of Keuka's Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) team, those working on the environmentally friendly project created a "green" project recommending motion-sensor lighting technology be used more places on campus, such as in classrooms vacated near the end of the day, dorm hallways and other locales.
SIFE CSI Project Manager Katelin Maxson submitted a proposal in early September to the national SIFE organization, hoping to be chosen one of 15 elite teams across the Northeast to qualify for a grant award through SIFE's sponsor, o.b® a brand of Johnson and Johnson. In keeping with the sponsor's marketing theme, "women for less waste," adding motion-sensor lighting to select classrooms and hallways would reduce energy usage and waste, according to SIFE team president Nick Simpson. The team learned Dec. 1 they had won a re-grant award.
"I'm on campus late most nights," said Maxson,, a senior accounting major from Whitney Point. "I go by Hegeman [Hall] and see almost every classroom lit up with computer screens and lights on at 9 p.m., but no one's been in those classrooms for several hours."
Simpson called the $1,500 award "seed money" for the next phase of competition, when the SIFE team can present data showing what kind of impact the green initiatives had on the campus. Maxson explained that the CSI team will receive an initial $1,250 to launch the project, with the remaining $250 to come when the tracking data – actual net savings shown on utility bills – is submitted to the national SIFE organization, likely in April. Prizes earned at the next level of competition could garner the team an additional $1,000 – $2,500.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
i spec SV and personally love it. mostly just because of the forgiving nature of it. in all reality though i don't see a whole ton of dps difference between myself and my guildie who specced MM. maybe its a little better play on my part (i.e. use of trinkets, haste potions and pet cd's) or just dumb luck. but personally SV has been really good to me
I play as survival and regularly roflstomp people who read that marksmen is the way to go. Personally the cost of regemming for a soon to be outdated style of play IE. stacking ARP over everything isn't worth it. For me also the blandness of MM...bah. The real question is Anyone having good success with Beast mastery?
BM is amazing if you're close to the ArP hard cap, we're talking 75%+ (1100+ passive rating). But its really boring, just spamming steady shot the whole time and popping CDs =[. Here's hoping it gets better in cata. I, personally, love SV to death but regemmed because MM double-dips on the ICC buff (triple dips in the case of Chimera Shot). That 20% buff is, well, multiplicative when your +20% serpent sting feeds a Chimera thats boosted another 20%, and the resulting Piercing Shots is boosted ANOTHER 20%. So a 20% buff becomes a roughly 45% buff to chimera and 72% to piercing shots. Like frostheim said, its multiplication! But outside of ICC, SV still wipes the floor with MM hands down.

Developed a roll of film (Ilford Delta 3200) at my house for the first time, it's drying hanging on the ceiling lamp. I've been procrastinating it a while since I didn't want to pick up the hassle of getting chemicals ready in these demotivating conditions. But when you got to do it, you do it. And the image is there but looks foggy.
Got a few more exposed & expired rolls of 35mm and 120mm waiting.

Just some hardass complextro/electrohouse stuff, probably a bit too powerful in my own taste... but whatever, here it is. As a loop of course!
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 3, 2012
Here's a few things I noticed. Your kick drum is stereo, which is bad. Make it mono for better clarity. Your beat is very aggressive, but your normal buzzsaw bass is a bit weak. After it builds up, it just goes nuts. An awful lot of panning going on, which is a nice effect. But with the amount of filtering you have, it gets overwhelming. It's very raw and brutal, and sounds really good. I think the random arp was out of place, and didn't flow with the bassline in my opinion. For what you have here, I'd say its excellent, and would sound great extended and spaced out a bit in a full song. For a loop though, you have too much crammed into such a small timeframe. Overall great job, just maybe look into monotizing your kick drum.
Thanks for the great review, quite a lot of good points to check out here.
I didn't even notice my bassdrum was that wide! Geez, I'm going to fix that right away. But what to say to the overall panning, I think I honestly got lazy around with that. Same thing with the filtering, even I can say I did't even like it too much anymore.
And to be real honest, this is a forced out piece of random synthblasting I regret mixing into what it is now. I will look up to it, if I have the guts for it of course ;)
Thanks for the good review, again.

Dissection Choice
Not every school student wants to dissect a fetal pig in biology class. And now, as WNPR's Jeff Cohen reports, the Connecticut legislature is considering a law that would mandate that those students have another option.
State Representative Diana Urban says students who are opposed to dissecting animals in class should have a choice to learn the same material another way -- say, using a computer simulation. And she says that the choice should be binding on local school districts. So she's proposed a bill to do just that.
I asked Urban if this sort of thing needed a new state law.
"Well, you know, in essence, it really doesn't. Each particular school district can allow this to happen. But there seems to be significant pushback in some districts."
Urban isn't alone on the issue. The Humane Society of the United States told the general assembly that students can be so turned off by the assignment that they may be unable to focus. Some, it says, leave the study of science altogether.
The bill is now pending on the house floor.
For WNPR, I'm Jeff Cohen.

Central Okanagan News
Open fire prohibition rescinded
Effective at 12 noon today ( Monday), all open fires will be permitted within the Kamloops Fire Centre, due to a decreased risk of wildfires.
The public can now:
- Burn any material larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide.
- Burn stubble or grass.
- Use fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description.
Anyone considering Category 2 or 3 fires must comply with the Ministry of Environment's Waste Management Act and open burning smoke control regulation. For more information click here.
Category 3 fires require a burn registration number, which may be obtained by calling 1 888 797-1717. Individuals who fail to meet these requirements may be subject to fines.
Please follow these tips on using fire safely:
- Keep fire sites away from buildings, trees and other combustible materials.
- Do not burn during windy conditions.
- Have adequate people, water and hand tools available to prevent the fire from escaping.
- Never leave a fire unattended.
The onus is on each individual to ensure safe, responsible burning, as outlined by the Wildfire Act and regulations. Those found to have been responsible for an escaped fire may be liable for fire suppression costs and damages.
The rescinding of the restrictions applies to all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any restrictions before lighting a fire.
Report a wildfire or unattended burning by calling *5555 on your cellphone or toll-free to 1-800 663-5555.
Here is a forest fire info chart comparing the last five years in BC.

George's father was a jockey and George's father's father was a jockey. It just so happened that they were all Georges, so George rightfully could be called George the Third. Of course, he never used that title because it sounded so very royal and pretentious.
The diminutive jockey with the name of George was originally from a place called Sedgwick on Avon but whenever anyone asked him his place of origin, he just shrugged his shoulders and mumbled,
"Up North!"
He had been fairly successful this past season. That was a very fortunate happenstance since his father had suffered a serious injury after a nasty fall the previous year and was unable to do any riding in the current racing circuit. He did the best he could to help out and tended the stock to keep them in tip-top condition for the very serious business of racing.
On the very first night of the Cambridge meet, he spied a strange message in his stack of personal emails. It was from an unfamiliar female called "Devious Denise". George did not remember ever meeting any female with the name of Denise.
Out of curiosity, he felt the compulsion to open the email. George was a gentleman and would never do anything to offend a member of the opposite sex. As soon as he read the message, he immediately regretted his impulse to look at it.
Well, the die was cast and things were set in motion that he no longer had any control over.
The message had only 11 words but they sent a chilling warning!
"Race and you will suffer the same fate as your father!"
He quickly deleted the message and decided to ignore it completely. Later he was to find out that was a mistake but he was, after all, only a simple jockey.
George's father George was in a very good mood after an enjoyable evening at the pub just outside the racetrack grounds. Some old admirers had bought him several rounds just to hear his stories of past glories. He was a well-known face around racing circles whereas young George was a virtual unknown.
When he came into the caravan, George pretended to be asleep in his compartment but he could hear his father whispering to a giggling female who was obviously well lubricated with several pints of beer.
He put the pillow over his head trying to drown out the sounds of fumbling love-making going only a short distance from his ears. It did seem kind of strange to him that his "over the hill" father was making out with the local females and he, in the prime of his life, was seldom in the company of a nubile young girl.
George could hear Prince Mojo, his favorite mount, snorting restlessly only a short distance from their caravan. The beautiful white racing horse was due to race tomorrow afternoon and he was probably a bit nervous before the outing. He wanted to bounce out of bed and run over to the stable and calm him down but it would be unseemly to disturb his father and the unknown female in the middle of their nocturnal pleasures.
He had a special rapport with the valuable animal that seemed to pull the very best effort from the handsome white horse in each and every race. They had managed to come in either first or second in every race thus far. That record made Prince Mojo the highest prize winning horse in the Sheffield Farms stable and George was the leading jockey at this point in the season.
Prince Mojo settled down, the frenzied activities in the next room quieted, and George fell off into a troubled sleep thinking about crossing the finish line on the back of a white horse. He knew it just had to be his favorite mount, Prince Mojo, son of Queen Anne and Mystic Moneymaker. They were both purebreds of great distinction and millions of race enthusiasts had felt the beat of excitement when either famous steed made their move down the homestretch.
The light of the morning sun made George open his gritty eyes early the next morning. He eased out of the caravan not wanting to know if only his father was still in residence or if he still had company.
Prince Mojo was peering out of the half door of the stable watching him approach with keen attention. George could see that he was just aching for some exercise. That silly girl, Josefina, the exercise rider was late this morning. George decided he would ride Prince Mojo to take off the edge before the big race. Josie was a hard working girl but sometimes she liked to party too much in the evening and she liked to get her full allotment of sleep no matter what. He really couldn't fault her for that as it was her only real fault. Well that, and the fact the pretty girl seemed to have an awful lot of male companions.
When he opened the stable door, George saw a white envelope underneath. It had only one word on it. That word was "George". He ripped it open whilst Prince Mojo nuzzled his neck from behind. The message was short and sweet.
"Ride the white horse at your peril!"
This message made George a bit more nervous than the first message because it had the flavor of being an omen. George had no problem with silly messages, but omens were a different matter, indeed. He took such things much more seriously because of his Gypsy blood that coursed through his veins and guided his every action. He looked over his shoulder and crossed himself 3 times before he kissed his little lucky gold coin hanging around his neck. Sometimes he wanted to curse his own superstitious beliefs but was too fearful of the consequences.
He crumpled up the piece of paper and tossed it in the trash bin in the corner. Soon, both he and Prince Mojo were flying down the straightaway at a pace that made every muscle in the huge horse's body stretch with sheer delight to be running once again. He carefully brought the champion mount back into the stable complex before he sweated up too rapidly.
Josefina was standing there looking contrite ready to wash Prince Mojo down and tend to his other needs.
"I am so sorry to be late, Master George."
"No problem, Josie, I enjoyed the ride and needed to clear my head. Were there any strangers around the stables in the last two days?"
"No, sir! There were some lads from the pub wanting to look at the horses before they made their bets. I watched them real careful and they never went anywhere near any of the horses."
George stood silent for the moment. He watched Josefina tending to Prince Mojo's legs. She was bent almost in half with the tight riding breeches stretched to the limit by her heart-shaped bottom. Despite his good intentions and reflections on the meaning of the messages, he found his manly equipment beginning to rise with some anticipation of possible action. The girl's long black hair was up in a pony tail that was bobbing now with every movement of her deeply tanned arms. He wanted to grab her pony tail and tell her that he wanted so badly to make love to her right here on the pile of hay in the stall. George had to laugh at his own weakness and allowed his impressive stand to slowly shrink into a meaningless state of rest.
Josefina coyly looked over her shoulder and smiled at her boss. She knew the moment had passed but there would be more opportunities in the future. Wise beyond her years, she was confident in her ability to get Master George in the final approach mode for a soft landing in her womanly apple orchard.
The shadow of a tall form fell across George's squatting figure studying the white horse's shoes for any problems. He looked up and smiled at Lady D' Wynter standing above him in impeccable riding attire. She was the epitome of equestrian finery and her beautiful oval face looked like some artist's rendition of unobtainable beauty. George always felt a little bit like a bumbling village idiot in her presence and tended to mumble incoherently when she asked him a simple question. He did not see Josie standing off to the side glaring like a female lioness deprived of her prey.
"Is he all ready for the big race, George?"
"Err, I mean, yes, your ladyship. He is in fine shape and rearing to go."
George was certain his face was burning because from his position underneath, he was able to discern her female anatomy in the form of a long visible slit pushing against the soft material of the tight fitting riding pants. She obviously was not wearing any underthings but that was not unusual for females addicted to riding early in the morning.
"Can you give me a hand up on Princess Passion? She is a fine riding horse but she is so tall that I have trouble getting in the saddle."
George went quickly to her side and guided her heel into the stirrup. Lady D'Wynter now had one leg cocked up way up high in the air and the other still flat on the ground. There was nothing else for it but to boost her with a helping hand on her upper-class bottom. In a flash, she was mounted in the saddle and poor George stood with a burning hand still vibrating with memories and a noticeable bulge between his legs. Both Josie and Lady D'Wynter perused the shape and size with their own internal thoughts on the matter.
Lady D'Wynter trotted off, Josie resumed her horse washing duties and George walked back to the caravan attempting to hide his arousal as best he could under the circumstances. Neither his father nor his guest of the prior evening were in the tiny home so George stripped down and took a quick cold shower to "cool off" in more ways than one.
When he left the caravan, George saw a note taped to the outside of the door. He was getting a bit sick of these silly messages but knew he had to read it to see what it said.
"Either the rider or the horse will have a broken leg if the white horse is ridden today!"
Now that was a threat more specific than any of the others. George knew in his case it would mean a cast for a few months, but for Prince Mojo it would be a death sentence.
George knew he would have to go to Lady D'Wynter and inform her of the threat because it was her stable and her horse in danger.
The big mansion was solid as a rock. It seemed to stretch in several directions all at the same time. The number of workers startled him. Everyone seemed to know exactly what their job was and they all hid behind a noncommittal mask of distanced performance of duties. George recognized the formally attired butler as one of Josefina's male friends. He could help but contemplate that the handsome butler was too young to be a butler and too old to be Josefina's lover. Then again, age never seemed to know boundaries in such matters.
"Madame will receive you in the drawing room, sir!"
He followed the butler to the huge room filled with leather furniture and so many books that he was certain it should have called "the library" rather than "the drawing room". Lady D'Wynter was sitting on the soft white leather chaise lounge petting a very contented looking white cat purring in a steady beat.
"Err, Lady D'Wynter, so sorry to bother you but there has been a threat on your prize stallion Prince Mojo and I think we should do something to protect him."
The sweet smelling beautiful woman in her early 30s patted the lounge right next to her and invited George to sit down. The cat seemed a bit put out at his dismissal but stalked off to curl up in a ball in front of the fireplace.
"Please, George, don't call me Lady D'Wynter. In fact, my full name is Denise Prendergast Wynter, so just call me Denise or simply "D" if that is more to your liking."
"Your name is Denise?"
"Yes, George, I left you all those silly notes because I knew you would come to my side. I wanted to get to know you better and it seemed the perfect way to get your full attention."
George had to smile at her deviousness and never objected when she reached out and took his hand in hers and placed it in not so subtle familiarity on the inside of her soft beautiful long leg.

Corey Perkins is also one of the most humble, team players I have ever seen. His dunks in an actual game setting are unbelieveable. Maybe UPICKEM should add a feature of actual in game dunks to future contests.

Oh so players need to transfer to big basketball powers, completely disregard academics, and break GHSA rules to be a good basketball player? Woodward is a 10x better school academically than Milton or Miller Grove haha. And I don't think you know anything about the college interest that players are receiving if you are only "an outsider looking in". I'm not about to sit here and insult highschool kids like you have been doing the entire course of this contest… Give it a rest man.
February 26th, 2011

Gaines all the way.
February 26th, 2011
10:05 am
and I'm not insulting Citron, he is a good ball player, but in NO WAY a better dunker than half of these guys here, yet all of his apparent classmates, including you, have blown up every post on here talking him up, when it's pretty obvious he is not the same caliber as the rest of these guys.

Time to Think
"Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you -
You've got to make a serious decision."
- Against Me!, "Stop" (Click to play - lyrics advisory)
I'm back on the grid – and as someone predicted, I've snapped out of last week's lamentations about the whole Western States fiasco.
Predictably, it was on a trail run that a lot of things got sorted out – in fact, I've got a whole post in the works about how it happened. I'm holding that one for later this week, though, because I still have a couple of decisions to make regarding my immediate plans that should be settled soon. I'm taking some time to think, to figure out what's important to me, before I make a serious decision.
Unfortunately, all that leaves us with today are random musings from the holiday weekend. I know not everyone is crazy about ramblings, and if that's the case for you, just be glad you didn't read my blog a couple of years ago, when every other post was random nonsense. Feel free to click away now, and check back later in the week for something more substantive. Otherwise, off we go …
* First, the introductory band: Against Me! They're a great new group. Fun kids. Cool vibe. Great energy. But then there's the issue of that exclamation point.
I've analyzed this before – and I thought the topic had been put to rest for good after when Panic at the Disco finally dropped the silly punctuation from their name. Now, Against Me! comes along and screws everything up all over again. The lesson, of course: I'll never find peace. It's simply not possible.
* I love Coldplay. I realize that's a loaded statement to make, as they're very much a love 'em or hate 'em band. And I'm fully aware of the "You know how I know you're gay?" scene from The 40-Year-Old Virgin on this subject. So it's no wonder that for a guy to say he loves Coldplay is like going to a steakhouse and ordering a salad – even though there's nothing technically wrong with it, you're definitely going to trigger several people's early warning systems.
The reason I bring all this up is because I've been crazy about their new single "Viva La Vida" ever since I first heard it … and I find myself feeling strangely protective of it after I saw it recently in a promotional spot for Apple iTunes. All of a sudden, I had flashbacks to a few years ago, when I was crazy for U2's "Vertigo" for about 3 weeks, before Apple drilled it into monotonous oblivion with those incessant iPod commercials.
To this day, I can't hear "Vertigo" without seeing those dang iPod ads. It's like they've stolen a piece of U2 from me, and now they're threatening to take Coldplay as well. I swear, you can have your presidential elections and global warming – it's issues like this that really matter to me.
* Continuing the musical theme: is it unpatriotic to not like that "Proud to Be an American" song? I know Lee Greenwood was well-intentioned and all, but the song just seems terribly contrived and overwrought to me: it's like he took every possible musical and lyrical cliché he could find, and crammed them all into one song. (No wonder the American Idol cast sings it every season.) It's played like standard fare every year now - and whenever I hear it, I have a sudden urge to leave the room. Anyway, I guess that's my own opinion – and now I'll just hope that the government isn't tapping my blog like they do my phone lines.
* I can only hope that every sports fan was lucky enough to catch the weekend's outstanding championship match. Anytime the two greatest competitors in the world go toe to toe, each one performing at the top of his game, and the competition requires extra time to determine who has the guts and stamina to triumph, that contest becomes an instant classic - one that will be talked about for ages to come. It was one of those moments you count yourself thankful simply to have watched.
I'm talking, of course, not of the Wimbledon men's final, but of the Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest, won for the second straight year by the amazing Joey Chestnut. He needed overtime, or extra innings, or sudden death (maybe sudden nausea is a better term), or whatever phrase they use to describe additional time, to knock off the formerly-indomitable Kobayashi.
I keep telling myself that one of these years, I have to keep a running diary of the Hot Dog Contest; if I can do it for spelling bees, I can certainly do it for this event. It's a story that's just screams at me for a blog post, so someday I'll do it. But don't worry – I'll warn you in advance, so you'll know what day to skip the blog if you don't enjoy graphic tales of heroic gluttons.
* On a more serious sports topic, I have a question: how far are we willing to suspend disbelief in order to see an uplifting story come true? That was the lingering dilemma I took away from the U.S. Olympic swimming trials that concluded last night.
Here's the feel-good story we're supposed (not merely that - but heavily encouraged, from NBC's standpoint) to believe: 41-year-old former Olympian Dara Torres comes out of retirement to race the fastest times of her life, breaking American records and making the 2008 team in two events. Through nothing more than natural talent and hard work. Um … does this sound suspicious to anyone?
Actually, it sounds suspicious to everyone. Almost every news organization has run an item like this expressing disbelief that such a thing could happen naturally. Think of it this way: if a 41-year-old track star started doing the same thing in the 100m dash, is there anyone who wouldn't be skeptical?
To her credit, Torres recognizes the scrutiny that such an accomplishment automatically triggers in the age of performance enhancing drugs. Months before the trials, she was profiled in this ESPN segment that raised the questions many of us were bound to have, and she's never shied away from conversations about the unlikelihood of her present accomplishments.
She's been one of the most heavily tested athletes, and has never tested positive. She's one of the most outspoken advocates for eliminating drug cheaters from Olympic sports. She's a naturally gifted athlete who has worked tirelessly for months and years to become one of the fastest competitors in the world.
Then again, Marion Jones was all those things, too.
I want to believe. I really do. But you'll forgive me if I'm reluctant to embrace this fairly tale that's unfolding before our eyes, which will be continued on the world stage at Beijing later this summer. I'm not telling you what to think; you're free to believe what you want to about the enigmatic Dara Torres.
However – and returning to the holiday weekend theme – before you decide, here's something else to ponder: would you feel differently if she weren't an American, or if NBC weren't profiling her in such a glowing manner? And if she's an American but you remain skeptical, does that make you unpatriotic? Finally, on the scale of unpatriotic-ness, would this rate above or below hating that horrid Lee Greenwood song?
See, that's why we need to pay more attention to the Hot Dog contest: it's all of the international rivalry, with none of the ethical drama. Come to think of it … do you think it's too late to make that an Olympic sport?
