text: It was a busy afternoon Saturday. My closest and I went with our friend to the Dixie Classic Fair and enjoyed lemonade, chicken pot pie, peach cobbler, funnel cake and ice cream. We even managed to ride the ferris wheel and see a haunted house. Then it was back to my friend's house for a Filipino party and more food. Needless to say I was stuffed and sleepy by the time I got home. But it was definitely a grande day together - finally talking out the frustrating things [and people] in our lives. If I end up moving, we're definitely going to have to plan more days like this.

Federal Drug Classes
October 17, 2011 by GemanNicolas
Filed under Drug Classes
Under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, psychoactive drugs have been divided into several "schedules" in order to classify the seriousness of their use, possession, manufacture and distribution. They are organized based on their potential for abuse, risk of addiction, and medical acceptance.
If you're charged with the manufacture, sale, possession or use of a controlled substance, hiring an experienced, tenacious criminal defense attorney is the most important decision you can make. Denver criminal defense lawyer Nicolas M. Geman understands complex drug laws, including Colorado medical marijuana laws, and will fight to protect your rights.
Schedule I Drugs
Schedule I drugs are the most tightly regulated. These are drugs with high abuse potential and no accepted medical applications. They are considered unsafe to use even under medical supervision.
This schedule includes drugs like heroin, acid, ecstasy, and marijuana. There is currently a debate over whether marijuana should be reclassified, as an increasing number of states, including Colorado, have passed laws allowing the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Schedule II Drugs
Schedule II drugs have equal potential for abuse as Schedule I, but some also possess accepted medical uses.
Most schedule II drugs, like morphine and cocaine, have a high risk for contributing to serious physical and psychological dependence.
Schedule III Drugs
Schedule III drugs have a lower abuse potential than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs. They can lead to moderate dependence and some also have accepted medical uses.
Anabolic steroids and ketamine are two examples of Schedule III drugs.
Schedule IV Drugs
Schedule IV drugs have even lower abuse and dependence risks than the previous schedulesand are approved for medical use. Many sedatives and barbiturates fit into this category.
This classification of drugs is no longer used in Colorado.
Schedule V Drugs
Schedule V drugs have the least abuse and dependence potential as well as accepted medical indications. Cough syrup is a good example of a Schedule V drug.
Some drugs in various forms fall into multiple categories, and some have specific sentencing requirements attached to corresponding charges.
If you're facing controlled substance charges and want to learn about your legal options, please contact experienced Denver criminal defense attorney Nicolas M. Geman.

I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edges
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we'd given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.
This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I'm hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
of your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.
And I will not be afraid
of your scars.
I know sometimes
it's still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it's the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.

Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to
museums, and parks, and monuments,
and kiss you in every beautiful
place, so that you can
never go back to them
without tasting me
like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most
beautiful way possible.
And when I leave
you will finally understand,
why storms are named after people.

This column is frustrating to me. The ideas in this column are entirely re-hashed from previous columns or basic rogue complaints since vanilla WoW in the case of vanish.
I know that the rogue class can and will come up with more original ideas and questions for the blues.
Mostly I find it very disappointing that the poster barely touched on rogue survivability. In my opinion this is clearly our weakness and I don't believe it's a deserved weakness.
Agreed. The whole article sounds like "Rogues are fine L2P"
He talks about Rogues arena success.
What about how Rogues have changed from arena damage dealers to "stun duty" so a Mage can nuke them?
Forgetting arenas, what about BGs?
There's no mention how we only have 6 seconds to kill anyone, and if we don't, that we cross our fingers and hope that vanish works.
He makes no comment at all about survivability.
Personally I'm sick of having too keep everyone stunlocked to kill them, or I die.
Its not fun for anyone
To me this article reads like it was thrown together at the last second because he forgot to do it.
matthew.mcgeorge said...
Let me put it slightly differently. You are correct that our survivability is a required weakness. However, the degree that it is right now is a little overboard. I wear 700 plus resilience and still die in a stun lock to a fellow rogue, this did not happen prior to WoTLK, whether due to spec differences or gear differences or whatever. It's a little frustrating at the present moment.
I also agree that our complex nature is fun and that's why I play a rogue. I never mentioned that, perhaps you were replying to someone else in a passive way as a reply to my post.
I hope you can come up with more evidence than 1 youtube video as your backing to say rogues are just fine and we as a community should ignore the opportunity to grill the developers.
"If you expect to go toe-to-toe with an opponent as we did in vanilla and TBC, you are not doing it right."
Contradicts this:
"The ideas of the Rogue class have no changed much, "
Now I don't think we should be Warriors, but the whole design notion of not "stealthed = death", be it for the Rogue or the opponent is idiotic.
"I find that our complex PvE and PvP combat structure (vs say a Ret Paladin) provide a very engaging experience, amongst the best of any class. I wouldn't want this changed, and I embrace the idea that we actually have decisions to make in combat."
Personally I find it very frustrating that I have to play to my best, carefully making every move, with the person playing the Ret bashes 3 keys to greater effect.

Conservation charity exceeds 100,000 trees target
Press Release 8th November 2007
Contact: Kerrigan Bell. Telephone 01309 691292; Email email@example.com.
Conservation charity Trees for Life reached its ambitious target of planting 100,000 trees in the Caledonian Forest in 2007 as the charity's new patron, leading conservationist Roy Dennis MBE, planted the 100,000th tree on the RSPB's Nature Reserve at Corrimony, west of Inverness on Wednesday 7 November.
The award winning charity's 100,000 Trees Appeal was part of a major worldwide initiative by the United Nations Environment Programme to plant a billion trees in 2007. By reaching its target, Trees for Life has planted approximately 250 acres (or 125 football pitches) of native forest this year alone.
Founder and Executive Director of Trees for life, Alan Watson Featherstone said: "Almost a year ago to the day, we were one of the first UK organisations to sign up to the UNEP Billion Tree Campaign, when we pledged to plant 100,000 trees in 2007.
"Thanks to the tremendous response we've had from our supporters, and the dedication and hard work of our volunteers, we've achieved that goal today. The simple act of planting a tree touches many people's hearts, and we look forward to doing this again in 2008, with another 100,000 trees."
Trees for Life's patron Roy Dennis said: "It is fantastic that Trees for Life has planted so many trees this year. These 100,000 trees will be enjoyed by future generations, and are a positive step towards addressing the global environmental challenges of our times."
The RSPB reserve in Corrimony near Cannich has seen much of its planting work carried out by Trees for Life this year, forming part of a strategy to extend the habitat of many native birds such as the Black Grouse and Wood Warbler.
Notes to editors
- Trees for Life is a pioneering charity in ecological restoration. It aims to restore the Caledonian Forest to an area of 1,500 square kilometres in the Highlands west of Inverness. Today only 1% of the original Caledonian Forest remains.
- The total amount of trees planted this year by the charity is 104,000, as planting continues until Saturday 10 November.
- Roy Dennis joins Muriel Gray and Vanessa Collingridge as Trees for Life's patrons. Roy is a professional ornithologist and wildlife consultant, and formerly worked for the RSPB, where he was involved with the reintroduction of red kites and sea eagles. He was awarded an MBE in 1992 for services to nature conservation in Scotland, and was a director of Trees for Life for 10 years. We're delighted that, on his retiral from our board in the summer, he accepted our invitation to become a Patron instead, and in this role he planted the 100,000th tree of our pledge this year to the UNEP Billion Tree Campaign.
- Further details about the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Billion Tree Campaign, are available at: http://www.unep.org/Billiontreecampaign
- The Glen Affric National Nature Reserve contains the largest extent of least-disturbed native woodland in Scotland and is the third-largest remnant of the original Caledonian Forest. Covering almost 15,000 hectares to the west of Inverness, it is managed by Forestry Commission Scotland for the conservation and restoration of the forest and other natural ecosystems there.
- Forestry Commission Scotland serves as the Scottish Executive's forestry department. It manages almost 667,000 hectares of national forest and other land owned by Scottish Ministers, supports other woodland owners with grants, felling licences, regulation and advice, and advises Ministers on forestry policy.

Donations Total $3,133,216
To promote sportfishing throughout Carteret County and the state of North Carolina.
To promote Conservation among Sportfishermen.
To raise money for Charities and Worthy Community Projects.
To preserve Maritime Culture and Heritage.
To promote Marine Education.
The Big Rock Board of Directors and its Charity Committee have focused on a core group of charities for the majority of the charitable proceeds from each tournament. The entire process is driven by the fit between Big Rock's five-point mission statement and the destination of the charitable funds. In addition to these yearly donations, the board also reviews new larger impact community projects.
In 2013 the Big Rock board has made two larger impact donations to two deserving charities, NCMARTEC Program at Carteret Community College and the East Carolina Boy Scout Council. The board donated a whopping $100,000 to the Carteret Community College which will be used to support NCMARTEC, the only comprehensive marine technology training facility in the Mid-Atlantic region and the "Big Rock Student of the Year" scholarship. Additionally, the board donated $75,000 to the Boy Scouts to fund a Pirate Ship for the local Camp Sam Hatcher that will include camping cabins and an action deck on top of the cabins. The board was also able to fund high-tech playground equipment for the new Carteret Pre-School of $20,000, give $30,000 to Davis for a Boy Scout building fund and offer its assistance to West Carteret High School for $10,000 when the bands uniforms were burned in a fire.
Last year the Keli Wagner Big Rock Lady Angler Tournament (KWLA) was sponsored by ALEXSEAL YACHT COATINGS and held on Saturday June 8, 2013. A field of 48 boats participated and the Keli Wagner was able to donate $18,350 to the RAAB Oncology Clinic. Donations to the clinic since 2005, total over $180,000 .Overall, the ladies tournament has donated a total of $222,815 since it began in 1998.
The tournament is very proud of its past contributions totaling $3,133,216 after the 2013 tournament. This year's Tournament Charity Committee consists of Tom Bennett, chairman, Dale Britt, Ben Moore, Richard Crowe and Randy Ramsey.
East Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America
For more than 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has been providing character education and citizenship training to America's young men in a setting that encourages them to take charge. The leadership training that local youth get in Scouting is unmatched, as is the support from local communities. The support that the East Carolina Council gets from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has played a vital part in ensuring that the movement continues to improve the lives of all its Scouts and their families.
East Carolina Council serves more than 10,000 youth and more than 2,900 volunteer adult leaders in 20 eastern NC counties, including the world renowned Crystal Coast. Scouts participate in unique learning experiences that will help them develop their appreciation, skills and leadership abilities for good stewardship of our land and water resources.
East Carolina Council provides facilities and programs for use by Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, Venturing Crews and even interested public groups that can take part in interactive, hands-on learning that will develop our future leaders at several locations. The East Carolina Scout Reservation, our main camping area, encompasses Camp Boddie, the Pamlico Sea Base and the PotashCorp ECO Lodge in Blount's Creek, on the Pamlico River east of Chocowinity. Toward the coast, there is Camp Hatcher in Newport and to the west, in Bailey, is Camp Charles. Programs at these camps are sure to provide a fun, engaging outdoor experience that is sure to enrich the lives of the visitors and their families.
Broad Street Clinic
The Broad Street Clinic has been providing free medical and pharmaceutical services to uninsured and underinsured residents of Carteret County and surrounding areas since 1993. Patients must be at or below the 200% federal poverty level. Patients also must qualify medically by having one of 5 chronic diseases: heart disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertension or thyroid disease. Free medical care is provided to BSC patients by over 40 health care providers. Health care providers volunteer weekly to ensure patient needs are met. Currently the clinic has over 900 active patients. During the last year, an eye clinic was opened, the NC Baptist Men's Association Dental Bus provided services four days and a gynological clinic was opened to meet patient needs.
The Clinic is a member of the National Association of Free Clinics and a member of the NC Association of Free Clinics. Funds received from the Big Rock are used for general operating expenses and to purchase medicines and supplies necessary for BSC patients. It takes 70 volunteer hours each week with the supervision from four pharmacists to ensure patients receive their medications. 23,000 prescriptions were dispensed from the BSC pharmacy with a value of $3.4 million during 2013.
The History Place
The Carteret County Historical Society's "History Place" is a 501c3 nonprofit whose educational mission it is to preserve and interpret the human history of the county from early Native American times through to the present. We accomplish this by offering various history products to the general public, including in school programs, publications, exhibits, a family genealogical library and presentations by various speakers and groups. We fund this activity in a variety of ways.
Our Les A. Ewen Auditorium lays the heart of our income producing assets. Year round, we rent this hall to various groups, wedding parties, musical performers, governmental agencies and others. We also present our own local history programs within its walls. This past summer and even now, Big Rock Tournament funds are being applied towards the renovation of this important community asset. The acquisition of a portable stage, refurnished flooring, painting of the walls, upgrades in the sound and light systems and other improvements are making this a "button ready" facility that can better accommodate different uses and needs.
We have also created a new temporary exhibit "We Went to Viewe the Lande Adjoyning…" which is a historical/artistic immersion into our coastline's first European exploration in 1585. A portion of the foundation's grant was applied to the creation of this exhibit as well.
The Society operates on roughly $110,000 per year – averaging 15-20,000 visitors per year. It is supported through grants, donations, fund-raisers and membership. Many consider what we hold as the "living memory" of the county. We are very thankful of the Big Rock Tournament's grant in support of our work.
Martha's Mission Cupboard
Martha's Mission bought food with the generous $2,000 donation given to us last year. This food helped us be there for the hungry and needy citizens in Carteret County.
Our motto: We believe it makes a difference when people help and share; That when somebody reaches out, it matters to be there.
Last year was especially hard on the needy of Carteret County and we continue to see new clients each day. Martha's Mission is serving somewhere between 325 to 375 families each month. We are thankful to the Big Rock Tournament for the financial help that they provide to support our work.
Take a Kid Fishing Foundation, Inc.
For over 23 years the Take A Kid Fishing Foundation and it's volunteers have baited hooks and cast lines in an effort to engage today's youth in fishing, one of America's greatest past times. They believe that fishing is a skill that was meant not to be learned, but to be shared. Passed on from generation to generation by those that love the sport.
The program combines a "hands on" experience with educational opportunities that teach participants skills and ethical angling practices. It encourages children to become good stewards of our natural resources in an effort to ensure fishing for future generations.
It is a rewarding experience for participants, many of which have never seen the ocean or felt the tug of a line and a heartfelt day for the volunteers and contributors that give each year of their resources, talents and time. They share this experience together creating memories that last a lifetime.
It is through your continued support and participation that the Take A Kid Fishing Foundation has been able to provide over 12,000 disabled and disadvantaged youth with an opportunity to go saltwater fishing. We would like to thank all of our supporters who work throughout the year to help us raise the needed funds and provide goods and services that make this day possible. Your efforts will enrich these children's lives and provide them with skills they can utilize over a lifetime.
For more information on the Take A Kid Fishing Foundation, Inc., becoming a volunteer or making a donation, visit our website at www.takf.org or contact Teresa Holcombe at 252-808-8303.
NC University Center for Marine Science and Technology
North Carolina State University's Center for Marine Science and Technology (CMAST), located in Morehead City, has worked with the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament since 2003 to sample these fishes. In addition to collecting samples for our own research, we also sample these fish for other scientists that work on these species because the opportunity to sample some of these animals is quite rare. The following information and samples are taken from yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dolphin, and blue marlin: length, weight, sex, a variety of tissues (e.g., muscle, reproductive organs, liver, heart, stomachs, and mucus), and hard parts (e.g., scales, otoliths, and fish spines). To date, we have collected samples for over a dozen marine biologists working along the U.S. Atlantic coast.
The fish captured during the Big Rock Tournament are top predators in the surface waters of the ocean. They have extremely high feeding rates and may have a disproportionately large effect on their prey populations when compared to other predators. Stomach contents are being analyzed by N.C. State University to determine the principal prey of these species. To date, dolphin and yellowfin tuna have the most diverse diets with a variety of fish and invertebrates incluing flyingfish, filefish, and squid. However, blue marlin and wahoo appear to be very selective, feeding mainly on frigate mackerel.
Besides the thrill they bring to captains, crew, and the Big Rock audience at the weigh station, fish caught during the Big Rock continue to help shed light on the biology of these highly migratory fishes.
Jeffrey A. Buckel is an Associate Professor and Paul J. Rudershausen is a Research Associate with North Carolina State University. Both work out of N.C. State's Center for Marine Sciences and Technology in Morehead City, NC.
Hope Mission
Hope Mission Christian Ministries (HMCM) is located in the heart of Morehead City, NC and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving the less fortunate citizens of Carteret County and the surrounding area for the past 20 years. It is supported by the community and is funded by donations from Community Organizations, Civic Groups, Churches, and individuals.
HMCM serves the community in many ways: The Community Kitchen Ministry operates six days/week and in 2012 provided 30,079 free hot lunches to hungry individuals and families, an average of 103 meals/day. Often, the volunteers who help serve the meals are in need of a hot meal themselves; The Emergency Financial Assistance Ministry provides payment of bills which threaten to leave persons without electricity, heating fuel, rent, and other essentials. Last year, 237 clients received aid to avoid the risk of harm, illness, or homelessness. The Men's Shelter for the Homeless (at the Mission building) provides temporary overnight shelter for up to 15 displaced men (average 10/day), and is open 7 nights per week. Persons in the shelter are required to remain drug and alcohol free and take all necessary steps to return to independent living.
All funds contributed by Big Rock are designated to cover the expenses of the Men's Shelter for the Homeless which remains the only homeless shelter for men in Carteret County. Many nights, especially during extreme weather conditions, the shelter reaches its fire-coded maximum of 15 persons. Without generous contributions by charitable organizations like Big Rock, we could not meet the needs of so many of our fellow citizens affected by these trying economic times. Big Rock funding is invaluable and so greatly appreciated!

NC Symphony Carteret Co. Chapter
Education Concert for Carteret County Students
The North Carolina Symphony performed an education concert with the full orchestra in January 2013 for nearly 1,000 elementary students from the Carteret County Schools at Croatan High School. Led by Resident Conductor William Henry Curry, the hour-long concert exposed students to composers from around the world and introduced them to the fundamentals of music. The concert was an exciting and unforgettable learning experience designed specifically for students in grades 3 through 5. The performance was offered at no cost to the students, allowing the orchestra to reach children throughout the county.
Educational outreach has been central to the North Carolina Symphony's mission since the 1940s. Today the orchestra offers a variety of music education experiences for children through orchestra and ensemble programs. For many children and NC Symphony experience will be their first, beginning of a life-long appreciation of classical music, and perhaps the spark that leads them to learn an instrument and discover a new talent.
The NC Symphony is grateful to the Big Rock Tournament for its loyal support of this educational experience for Carteret County children.
Carobell's Station Club Enterprise
Big Rock Charities has been helping Carobell's Station Club Enterprise expand our possibilities for 23 years. Located in Morehead City, Station Club is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization serving adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. When our clients arrive each day, they go right to work receiving pre-vocational training in various fields such as making Candy Bouquets, building outdoor furniture in our wood shop, studying horticulture out back in the greenhouse, or making greeting cards, just to name a few of the activities. We are constantly expanding our abilities to provide the people we serve with choices by developing new ideas and concepts. And best of all, they are earning while learning. This truly fulfills our Mission, which is to help individuals reach their fullest potential.
Last year's donation from Big Rock went to our wood shop to buy hand-held tools such as electric sanders and drills. We believe this is part of the reason SCE won 1st prize in the annual PAWS construction competition. This year our need is a very basic one – wheels. We are working toward the purchase of a full-size van that will allow staff and clients to deliver the newly made wooden benches and picnic tables that have been ordered by community parks, businesses and individuals. We'll use the van to pick up the documents from local businesses to be shredded at Station Club by clients. And let's not forget the fun trips to deliver those beautiful Candy Bouquets to smiling recipients. These are just a few of the jobs our new vehicle will enable us to continue doing. And so we don't leave the impression we're all work and no play, we do take a break every now and then and go on an outing to the many educational and just-plain-fun sites of Carteret County. A vehicle is an expensive item, and we so appreciate the help we receive from Big Rock Charities. You are truly a partner with Station Club.
To sum up what Station Club Enterprise is all about, for staff and participants alike every day is a good day at Station Club. We work hard, we socialize with our peers and at day's end we feel good about what we have accomplished.

MERRITT ISLAND -- Break out your favorite board games and your lucky deck of cards, all for a great cause next weekend.
On Saturday, Feb. 21, the Brevard Museum Guild will host its annual Patriotic Card and Game Party at the Veteran's Memorial Center on Merritt Island from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The guild is asking for a $15 donation to attend, with funds benefitting the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science.
Tickets are available for purchase at the door or in advance at the museum.
Made up of a group of local men and women, the Brevard Museum Guild was established in 1978 to help support the Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science.
From fundraising to docent tours, the guild plays a vital role in the operations of the Brevard Museum.
This will be the 15th year the Brevard Museum Guild has hosted the event.
"The overall theme remains patriotic, to both celebrate the presidential birthdays in February and to honor the veterans of the locale, where the event is held," said Rachel Burris, assistant director and director of education at the Brevard Museum. "This year's bonus theme is floral, which is represented in the boutique, with items for sale including floral décor, clothing, jewelry, plants and more."
Attendees of the Patriotic Card and Game Party are invited to bring their favorite board and card games from home or play the games the group will have at the event.
In addition to the floral-themed boutique, the Patriotic Card and Game Party will also include raffles and door prizes.
"Door prizes donated so far include a gift set from Fantastic Sam's in Cocoa, a gift certificate for lunch for two at Chaparral Mexican Grill in Cocoa, a gift certificate to the Merritt Island Mall and various baskets filled with goodies, such as movies, candy, bottles of wine and more," Mrs. Burris said. "The guild will raffle a large goodie basket, which I can attest always has wonderful items, and a 50/50 raffle to help raise funds."
Mrs. Burris said that the Brevard Museum Guild is currently raising money to help cover the picnic tables at the Brevard Museum.
"With many school children coming to the museum for tours, covering the picnic tables is a must," she added.
Additional funds raised will also go toward the overall well-being of the Brevard Museum.
"The Patriotic Card and Game Party is a fun way to support a local nonprofit museum," Mrs. Burris said. "The party has always been a place where new friends meet, old friends enjoy getting together and everybody enjoys good food, games, door prizes and shopping a bit at the boutique."
The 15th annual Patriotic Card and Game Party, hosted by the Brevard Museum Guild, will be Saturday, Feb. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Veteran's Memorial Center on Merritt Island.
Cost to attend is $15.

They played in the opening game of the tournament, against England, and looked like they might cause a huge upset when they led at half-time. They couldn't go on with it, losing 32-22, but it was a spirited performance by the mostly part-timers.
They copped touch-ups from New Zealand and Australia in their other games, but while they were no match for those teams in terms of class they lacked nothing in spirit and left their opposition with plenty of bumps and bruises.
Will we ever see your face again?
Their inspirational captain, Stanley Gene, is listed as being 34 years old but some people reckon he is as old as 45. Gene said this tournament would be his international swansong. He goes out in style.
The crystal ball
There has been talk of trying to get a PNG team into the NRL but that seems a long way off. Next year's South Pacific Cup will provide the winner with a place in a Four Nations tournament the following year. That has got to be their aim.

England to beat PNG by 19-plus. No good.

Need a pick me up progressives? Are you nervous heading into the last weekend of the 2010 campaign? Here's some inspiration for you. The fight's not over until the fighting stops.
Monthly Archives: October 2010
The Gravitas Argument
"Being the vice-presidential nominee on the ticket is different from saying 'I want to be the person at the top of the ticket,'" Rove continued. "There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say 'that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world.'" — Karl Rove
I haven't watched Sarah Palin's new show, but I don't need to to know it revolves around her, and her sacrosanct universe–devoid of the reality of truth. Don't misunderstand: this is fine for a celebrity diva. Not so much for the prospective leader of the free world.
It's safe for Palin to surround herself in her protective cocoon, where she has no fear of reprisal, and her dubious ramblings are free from criticism. Rove only speaks truthfully here.
What Happened At F E Warren Air Force Base Should Never Happen
The security failure–if that is in fact what happened–is unfathomable, and unconscionable. Just how close were we to potentially initiating World War III?
The True Engines Of Change
This was too good not to pass on. H/T to Andrew from the Dish, and Big Think. Real change does not come from Washington. It comes from people becoming transformative engines of ideas and processes. Real people define love and life, not the other way around.
Juan Williams Fired From NPR For Feeling 'Uncomfortable' On Planes With Muslims
I'm not quite sure where I stand on this. Firing Juan Williams for an honest thought about something a lot of people felt and/or feel sets a pretty ludicrous precedent. At the same time, it can't be too comforting to Muslims–or other Americans–who've faced the brunt of some vicious vitriolic prejudice over the years. I can't tell how many times I've recoiled when I see a white woman cross the street as she sees me approach. It's not a good feeling, I assure you.
I still think NPR jumped the gun here. Williams is not known as a divisive figure, or a polemical analyst. In fact, while I may not always agree with him, he's always struck me as a pretty level headed, cogent columnist and pundit–there aren't too many of them around anymore.
Juan should have really stopped going on Fox News. The negative karma has rubbed off on him. I kid. Sort of.
And applying this standard, why hasn't Fox News fired that ignorant bluster buss Brian Kilmeade?
Glenn Beck Believes Student Loans Cause Rises In College Tuition
There is no correlation between students who take out student loans, and the increase in tuition at universities. None. If anything, the exact reverse is true. I don't think Glenn Beck understands this idea. Their is no methodology on earth he could use to ascertain that an education is worthless, simply because of how it was obtained financially. Only someone who devalues eduction the way he does would make such a statement.
We're already dealing with an educational crisis–in terms of college graduates in this country, and the relation to college educated adults in the US to countries abroad. Yet this intellectually challenged fraud clearly is dismissing this. He cares not a whit about American education, unless it somehow benefits his putrid attempt at indoctrinating the masses through idolatry and nut rattling falsehoods.
Fiorina's Fail
Why should we take advice from a former CEO who not only shipped jobs abroad for tax breaks, but couldn't handle the operating responsibilities of her position. She couldn't leverage HP's substantial profitability to outflank her competitors. Now apparently, she can handle a simple question. "Where are you going find the four trillion dollars to offset extending the Bush tax cuts?"
She can't answer because she doesn't know. The only thing she knows is the standard operating manual of the republican party–which does nothing to address problems with the deficit or entitlement programs.
Leaders don't say and do things because they sound good. Real leadership involves making tough decisions, and implementing critical–and sometimes unpopular ideas. Fiorina knows nothing about this, which is why she was relieved of her duties as CEO of Hewlett-Packard. And it's why she won't be elected as the the junior senator from the state of California.
Where Are They?
Just when you hope democrats open their mouths to speak–they clam up, possibly afraid to invoke the work "deficit." Even when it's they who are being fiscally responsible in cutting the "deficit."
..the $122 billion improvement on the deficit "is the biggest one-year nominal drop in the deficit that has ever occurred." We probably won't see headlines blaring, "U.S. achieves biggest one-year deficit reduction in American history," but that just happens to be the case.
So the budget deficit is actually less than projected? It's less than the Bush budget deficit of 2009? Where are the voices of fiscal prudence in the democratic party?
GOP Senate Candidate Equates Homosexuality With Alcoholism
These fringe GOP candidates seem to be getting away with all of this foolishness. Why? Are we that susceptible to this type intolerance?
Fox, Kim Jong Ill, And The Simpsons?
This is absolutely amazing! Maybe Rupert Murdoch is subtly jabbing our dear leader with this couch opening from The Simpsons. Or maybe not. Either way, this is a pretty shocking opening to the show. Watch it, and let it marinate.
Forced labor=fail.

Two Females Accused In Breaux Bridge Wal Mart Theft
Pictures of the two white females, as well as other information, inside.
Pictures of the two white females, as well as other information, inside.
Wal-Mart stores in Mansfield and Spring Hill, Louisiana began taking EBT cards showing no limit on Saturday evening, after a glitch in the system prevented the use of the cards earlier in the day. When it came back up, some cards showed no limit and many users wasted no time in taking advantage of the situation
Competition to get a job is almost as intense as competition on the job.
It seems that Wal-Mart is getting a bad image, and that shoppers are leaving them and heading to other retailers.
The national unemployment rate spiked following the 2008 financial crash, and it has remained stubbornly high ever since. Unfortunately, it has been even worse for returning American servicemembers. Today, though, Wal-Mart announced a plan to hire 100,000 veterans over the next five years.
Walmart, Target and Toys R Us will take their employees from their families this Thanksgiving by opening Thanksgiving evening.
Many communities gripe when Walmart considers moving in, but a new report indicates homes near the stores actually rise in value when the megachain comes to town.
It never seems to fail — where there's a twinge of desperation, a nearby Walmart, and just enough faith in a reckless gamble to go over the wall, the derelict sideshow and dumb circus is there.
Apparently, one man from New York does not intend to change that.
Technology and crime once again meet in a new scam with a new name. This type of scam has come to be known as 'Smishing' because of the use of SMS text technology. The phones at the Acadiana Better Business Bureau office have been ringing with reports from consumers across the area reporting scam text messages referring people to a site where they can "claim a Walmart Gift Card" by entering certain private personal information.
Walmart has pulled a batch of baby formula off its shelves after a baby died. Ten-day-old Avery Cornett of Missouri fell ill with a rare bacterial infection and died on Sunday. The rare infection can possibly come from contaminated powdered infant formula.
Sandi McMillin says she was kicked out of Walmart for wearing a bikini — the very same bikini she bought at a Walmart.
"I was horrified," the Eugene, Oregon woman told KVAL. "I am embarrassed. I hadn't done anything obnoxious or outlandish."
The suspects responsible for robbing two women at a Crowley Wal-Mart are now behind bars. Crowley police say that two women were loading groceries into their cars when they were approached at gunpoint by two men in a Chevy Tahoe. After taking the womens' purses, the suspects fled. Crowley police chief K.P. Gibson says that, working with Duson police, they were able to stop the suspects and take them into custody.

Found December 27, 2012 on Project Spurs:
PLAYERS: Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers
The San Antonio Spurs have gone away from the defensive, shutdown philosophy that made them so successful in the past. It's not a huge problem because they've improved the offense as well and can still win by outscoring their opponents, but on the year, the Spurs are giving up 97 points per game. One reason the Spurs could be giving up so many points is the fact that Kawhi Leonard, probably their best perimeter defender, has been out since mid-November. Since Leonard's return last Friday, the Spurs haven't reached their season average in points allowed, giving up 94 points against the Hornets, 91 against the Mavericks and just 80 against the Raptors. It could just be the quality of the competition, but Leonard has surely provided a defensive spark, recording 10 steals in just three games (with reduced minutes). That's 3.3 steals per game and to put that in perspective, the league leader in steals is Chris Paul, who averages 2.71 per game. His teammates have surely noticed the effect Leonard has on the defense. Both Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili were singing his praises after the game against Toronto. "Kawhi is creating a lot of turnovers himself," said Duncan. "He's getting a lot of steals and turning that into offense. It's a big thing we've been missing the last couple of weeks with him gone. It's great to have that back. It's great to see him get those steals again and make it into something." "Huge for us," Ginobili said. "First of all, because he is one of the only true small forwards we've got with size and strength to guard big opponents. With his length and ability to read situations, he can get a lot of deflections and steals that give you a good lift in some parts of the game." Keep an eye on the Spurs' defensive numbers as Leonard continues to log more minutes, especially their overall points allowed. His contribution to the team will become even more apparent as the season rolls on.

It seems like the construction has been going on forever, but beginning today (Sunday, March 18), the Colorado Department of Transportation will have multiple lane closures at the Windsor exit. This afternoon from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m., there will be lane closures on eastbound and westbound Highway 392 near the west frontage road west of I-25.

Unity 3 – What Feature is The Dev Team Most Proud Of?
Unity 3 is looking to be our biggest release to date — bringing with it source-level debugging, deferred rendering, best-in-class lightmapping and occlusion culling, and a unified editor. As we are getting close to the end of our pre-order window, I decided to asks members of the dev team what features they are most excited about.
Roald Høyer-Hansen
Beast lightmapping – no doubt :) Never has lighting a scene been so much fun! Great interface and superb integration with Unity. It has actually changed the way I work, as I now do all my lightmapping/baking inside Unity, with Beast. I am sure 90% of the games we'll see after 3.0 will look 10x as good as the ones we see today :)
Charles Hinshaw
There are BIG features, but I'm really enjoying the little scene view tweaks that improve daily use. Vertex snapping, look-at rotation, live previews for materials, dragging prefabs into the scene live with ray-snapping, interactive light gizmos, and rect selection — get used to them and then use a 2.x build and see how frustrating it gets. Unity 3 is going to allow for scenes to be constructed much more quickly and accurately.
Aras Pranckevicius
Personally, I'm quite happy with all the behind the scenes stuff that went into 3.0 rendering – surface shaders, seamless shader compilation into OpenGL ES shading language, the way we encode Deferred Lighting buffers etc. But I doubt anyone except me would ever notice them :)
Obscure features that are awesome: XOR operator support in JavaScript! XOR is cool because:
- It's exclusive – very exclusive.
- No short circuiting semantics with this guy.
- It appreciates differences in people, or at least in operands, which is almost the same as people.
- It has an X in it. Everything that has an X in it is cool. And this one starts with an X.
Samantha Kalman
I'm most thrilled about the new audio features. Big things like fx filters and reverb zones to add atmosphere to your audio are awesome, but little things like reliable synching of multiple playing sources is completely wonderful. Combined with spectrum analysis you can do things like procedurally modify colors, meshes, lighting, or anything else based on audio playback. As someone who wants to make synaesthesia-invoking music games, I am so happy that these features made it into 3.0.
Nicolaj Schweitz
I love the new audio features, especially the possibility to use audio to affect any runtime variable. I can't wait to see what people get out of this.
The mod tracker file support might start a new epoch in music for games — or should I say a revival of the demo scene trackers.
I am also amazed by the new physics features. Cloth is a powerful feature that along with DSP effects and reverb zones will expand the way our users will present their game worlds.
I am really happy that we have managed to include a lot of details into the mix, audio preview in the scene, object selector, audio rolloff curves, UI for the player settings — I could go on and on. It soothes my perfectionist heart to see that many minor improvements in Unity.
Rune Skovbo Johansen
A few things that are exciting to me, and haven't been mentioned yet:
- New font back-end and text input with IME support should make Unity far more interesting to developers targeting Asia and other markets that have unique fonts.
- A few very typical basic math functions have been added that you'd need in many games, but which are not trivial for newbies to come up with on their own: MoveTowards (for floats and vectors) RotateTowards (for rotations and vectors), and a some others.
- Lots of small bug fixes all around that improve stability and performance.
- Full debugging capabilities
Joachim Ante
I think Unity has made the transition to being a robust level editing tool — developers can place modeled objects from inside Unity as opposed to artists creating the whole level in maya/max. You could always use Unity in that way in theory, but there were some drawbacks why people didn't do it workflow wise and feature wise when they were doing a high end production.
There is a bunch of stuff that contributed to it, in order of importance:
- Being able to lightmap from within Unity
- Static batching
- Being able to place things with the vertex snapping & raycast snapping
- Occlusion culling so you can get performance out of big scenes
- Being able to quickly find assets with the object picker
- Being able to search stuff in a super awesome looking way
Equally important is the unified editor; we actually managed to get all platforms back under one tool again. This is awesome right now, but we also spent a lot of time making it easier to add new platforms, so that after 3.0 we can add new platforms at the speed of a rocket ship.

I hope some of these work their way into Unite talks about the 3.0 features! There's a lot to learn when 3.0 comes out…
Is there any light map compression in final game output like Halo ?
RAW Light map date make file-size bigger, not good news for browser game ……
They're just like any other textures in Unity; you can set the resolution and compression per target platform, Unity takes care of the rest.
New engine… new era…Unity3…the awesomeness of game creation…brought to us on a silver platter! we cant wait… let's go Unity3!
The beast lightmapping is awesome! The audo reverb zones are also ace!
I agree with Charles Hinshaw, all the scene view improvements are great. And all the platforms are unified now… bye, bye Unity iPhone 1.7, your scene view is a piece of !"·$%&/()=?¿
@FXCarl: Halo 3 uses special lightmap compression because they store spherical harmonics in the lightmaps, so that compression scheme is not much applicable to other lightmap types. In Unity 3, lightmaps are stored in "RGBM" encoding to provide more than standard dynamic range, and they compress with DXT5 very well (in fact RGBM encoding compresses better than traditional lightmaps). In short, yes, you can just DXT5 them.
I'm pretty excited about the cloth generator. And if the cutscene editor from The Unite Summer of Code (started in 2009…) is included, that will make my day :D
I think the Beast Lightmapping is going to be my favourite feature of U3.
I agree with Joachim Ante. the editor is awesome and it's usability is great. hopefully in next version we will see great networking and MMO development to make social and web based mmos easier. at least by adding the possibility of using unityengine.dll in other places like .net based apps.
My favourites:
-Deferred rendering
-Beast lightmapping
-New shader effects
I am so excited about everything. I will probably lock myself in my room for a month playing around with some of these things. Is there any news yet on what will be the separation between what is included in the different versions (i.e. Indie, Pro, iPhone, etc)?
When Unity3D 3.0 has been released,then will the documentation already be updated for Unity3D 3.0 ?
Or do we have to wait for the "new" documentation "after" Unity3D 3.0 has been released ?
@Jason: the documentation on the website will be updated with 3.0 release. The documentation installed locally with Unity is updated with each 3.0 beta build.
i really love unity 3d
but why do you people so hapy about static light maps
i just don't get it
i like the new sound features tho :)
Realtime lights can be expensive to calculate, especially if you want them to have high fidelity and bounce light. Baking the lighting into lightmaps allows you to have really great looking scenes which also have great performance. If you have some dynamic event you could also swap to a different lightmap after said event. And don't forget that Unity lets you use realtime lighting up close and fade to pre-baked lighting in the background. Anyways, the feature preview video speaks for itself I think.
"As we are getting close to the end of our pre-order window"
Speaking of that, I won't be able to pre-order it until September, 1st, so my question is, will that window end before that date? I hope not …
your right they can be a great deal for hand held devices
but (at least for me) light maps and dynamic object like player don't mix well they make you feel "disconnected" from the scene .
I like David Helgason's shirt collar.
there is an "Signal based optimization" in halo's compression sound useful(the Inter chart optimization and Sub chart optimization)
please see page 4 to 13 in this pptx
I think we can modify this method for our lightmaps. for example we can use RGB and Lum gradient instead original signal analysis. and I thinks this may reduce lightmap to quarter size and without big quality lose too.
before Beast, we are using 3DMax Auto-UnwarpUV to bake lightmaps, Artists often resize lightmap size on some especial objects because light/shadow details are not equally distributed.
@FXCarl: yeah, signal-based lightmap UV optimization is not in Unity 3.0. However, you don't have to use Unity's UV calculator; if you supply your own lightmap UVs (e.g. like you said – using 3dsmax with some manual editing), Unity's Beast can just bake into that.
It is indeed amazing to see how the features has grown to the point that it really feels like Unity 2.6.1 is really obsolete.
Cloth simulation in my opinion is the Must, I was gobs-mack when I saw demonstrating this feature.
Now the real question is:
What will be available in the Free version of Unity as opposed to the Pro version.
I can't wait for the engine to be finally release as UNITY is really
a dream for every developer.
Now I really believe that the new step for Unity(Unity 3.5 or 4 who knows!), is to integrate a more robust animation system much more flexible that the one which is offer in 2.6.1.
Thank you so much guys for your excellent and incredible work.
I agree that the cloth system in Unity3D 3.0 is a cool new feature.
But remember,we do not know if the guys from Unity meant that we can only create cloth from only a "square" polygon grid system for example a 4×4 grid,8×8 grid,16×16 grid etc,etc,…
Or if we can also make cloth from "normal modeled meshes" (the ones that you can model in a more complex way,like jeans pants,T-shirts,hats,etc,etc,…).
We have two different cloth implementations. A generic cloth system for full physics interatction, anything from hanging cloth pieces, down to softbody like objects that keep pressuare inside of the body.
The other system is for Skinned Cloth, which is not interacting with other physics objects and is highly optimized for high poly character cloth pieces and integrated into the Skinned mesh rendering system and uses the animated skinned mesh as the source for acceleration of the cloth. It looks pretty awesome.
so… using the 3.0 cloth physics, could i use it for clothes for my characters?
@Michael – yes there is cloth physics for skinned mesh renders.
Wow, what can i say?
Everything is awesome!
Without going into each feature details:
New audio features, physics, rendering, shader system, beast, umbra, the tree editor, OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 on Android/iPhone, PS3/X360 to name a few. Each of theses new features, keep the same Unity philosophy:
Fast, Easy and Unified, F.E.U!
FEU! In french means fire.
Yes, this is how Unity is now, is on fire! ^^
Congrats guys, so proud of being an Unity citizen!
Keep the "usual" hard work :)
Warm regards from Montreal Psychoz Interactive.
Will Unity also have the newer viewcube type for jumping to different camera angles ?
The viewcube was introduced in Maya 2008.And Maya 2009,2010 and 2011 also have it.
If you know what the viewcube is,then click here:
Sorry,I meant to say:
If you do not know what the viewcube is,then click here:
We have preordered 3.0 and are testing already the beta version. It´s just awesome…wish we had more time to try all the great new features…but so far…my recommendation: Get 3.0 now, because it`s going to be more expensive and you really want to buy it anyway in the near future ;-)
Question: Will the new font back-end and text input with IME support also be available for the new Iphoneversion we also preordered? That would be great!
All the best to you!
Superwaugi (Artcue)
While I love it all… I mean LOVE it all, the Unified Editor is my favorite feature. I would have probably purchased 3.0 JUST for this. The new editor is excellent – can't say enough how the new workflows are making it easier to get things done ;)
There are a number of great features in version 3. It would be good to see a breakdown of which features are available for the iPhone platform and standard vs pro.
I am not so excited as i did not find any specific feature that other good game engine does not have.
If stereoscopy can be added it can be big achievement as currently game industry is talking about it, working on it and need it.
Give us some warning before you release. I just know I'll get the money together and go on the website only to find it's been released and more expensive :)
To those of you wanting warning before release or that are worried about the pre-release window closing, consider yourselves warned already! Stop waiting, get on it and know that time is already running short. You've had since March (GDC) and we're going to release 3.0 as soon as it's fully baked and ready and that's not far off at all. With the release comes the fact that all of the currently discounted pricing goes away and will be replaced by our regular list pricing! So get on it, don't delay, get crackin', etc… :)
Oh, and for those wanting the full [free]/Pro/iPhone/Android/etc. feature breakdown, please know that a new license comparison page is in the works and I think we'll have it posted soon (this week?). Please bear with us as that's in the queue right now!
I would certainly love to see the comparison chart!
An informed purchase decision could not be made otherwise.
Can't wait either.
What kind of networking is in Unity3d v 3.x?
Will we be able to use the Prismatic Joint of PhysX?
Copied from PhysX doc's:
Prismatic joints are purely translational and only free to move along its primary axis. A good example of a prismatic joint is a shock absorber.
Will Unity 3 be able to do "Metal Cloth"? :)
From NVIDIA Website:
"Metal Cloth mode support to simulate deformation like dents in barrels, car bodies, or metal doors".
I'm using Unity 2.6.1 (free edition) for my current mini game. However I know for sure that I won't finish before Unity 3 is released. Will it be possible to port over 2.6.1 projects (non-pro) to 3.0 (non-pro)? Is it a good idea?
@ZV: I'm working hard on the new license page but it's requiring extra detail work we didn't expect (layout issues now that we have so many platforms!). Stand by though, it should be available very soon. :)
@Scott: "networking" can mean many things, but as a whole the answer is "the same as we have in 2.x". We have RakNet built-in for mulitiplayer games, but you can always use the player's support for HTTP calls (get and post) or its support for socket connections to tie into any back-end technology of choice.
Thanks Tom!
Very excited to see where you guys have taken Unity since I've jumped on-board.
(my favorite new feature: audio fft => any variable. yessss!)
@Scott: Notice that we have upgraded the version of RakNet used though. This brings added stability, bugfixes and allowed us to do some small tweaks to the API to make it even simpler to get a session going – regardless of network configuration.
@Sinan: we will not support the metal cloth functionality in PhysX for Unity 3.0. In summary, we did not find the feature to be developed enough yet to meet our user's expectations so we chose to leave it out instead.
Ricky Helgesson:
@joints are purely translational and only free to move along its primary axis. A good example of a prismatic joint is a shock absorber.
The Configurable Joint can already handle prismatic joints perfectly. Thus we feel there is no reason to add a more specialized less flexible joint. You simply have to lock all the rotational parts, and use limits on the translation of the primary axis.
Will RakiNet integrate with Apple's new Game Center?
could i use the cloth physics (well, adapt it) to simulate damage on cars and things?
damn already answered. another thing i am very disappointed with in unity 3. This just isn't living up, for me, to what it really could be. Especially when most of the new features are pro only.
Ignore my above, could the cloth physics be modified by users to try and simulate metal?

ARLINGTON, TX - JANUARY 19: Boxers Manny Pacquiao (L) and Joshua Clottey (R) pose for photos with Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, at Cowboys Stadium on January 19, 2010 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
With Manny Pacquiao set to battle it out on Saturday night with Joshua Clottey in the first ever boxing match at Cowboys Stadium, Jerry Jones stands to cash in big on the popularity of the Filipino sensation; but, according to a story in today's edition of the Dallas Morning News, Jones had the opportunity to come in on the ground floor of that particular venture, just before the welterweight exploded on the international boxing scene.
Barry Horn writes that, while the head coach in Dallas, Bill Parcells introduced a friend of his from New Jersey to Jones. That friend, Murad Muhammad, a tailor and boxing promoter, was looking for someone to invest in a young fighter of his named Manny Pacquiao. Jones, who along with Parcells bought his clothes from Muhammad, decided to pass.
When the fight was announced last year, Parcells called Jones to reminisce over their meeting with Muhammad, and, of course, administer some lighthearted ribbing:
"You do know the fighter I was talking to you about was Manny Pacquiao," Bill Parcells told Jones. In a matter of seconds, both men were laughing.
Jones reasoned at the time that if the young fighter was as good as advertised, someone with a richer boxing background would have already discovered him. Which is a shame; if Jerry had made the deal with Muhammad those years ago, he may very well be a rich man today.
"I regret it because of the significance of Pacquiao," Jones said in the article. "Boxing has a great synergy with football, but I don't think I could have done it right."

Dalton School Suicide: The Aftermath
In a cutthroat world of private education, is teen suicide that uncommon?
Yesterday, we told you about Theodore (Teddy) Graubard, a popular male student at the prestigious Dalton School on New York City's Upper East Side. He committed suicide by jumping from an 11th floor building on school grounds in front of a group of fourth graders, who reportedly ran from the body.
Theodore had apparently won academic awards and was involved in school sports and activities. He had 512 Facebook friends.
The school and its surrounding community are in complete shock. And so far, the public has no information about Theodore's parents.
Dalton is one of the most prestigious private schools in the United States -- like a real-life Gossip Girl. Tuition for the 2008-2009 academic year is $33,100.
The New York City private school system is a competitive cutthroat world, but why would a boy who seemingly had everything take his own life? We went to Gilda Carle, Ph.D., an expert in teen self-esteem and dating, for answers.
"The problem with this case is that we know so little about it," says Carle. "We barely know anything about this student, much less his family life, or the reasons he ended his life. Therefore it's hard to speculate why this happened."
"One very unfortunate aspect of this case is that small children witnessed the suicide," says Carle. "It's traumatic enough for adults to deal with this, but almost impossible for small children to comprehend--and the visuals of what they saw will stay with them forever."
What role did his school environment play? "Because we didn't know this boy, it's hard to speculate, however attending a competitive prep school would be pressure for anyone. And since teenagers experience lots of hormonal changes, any problem they have can be magnified."
"The problem could range from being rejected by a girl, to a failing grade on a test, to a change in medication, to feeling impulsive, to experiencing depression -- we may never know. What we do know for sure is that Teddy saw no other way out. He felt hopeless."
How do parents explain suicide to children and, most importantly, help them move on unscathed?
"The kids will always be scarred by what they experienced," says Carle. "There is no avoiding that. And although the school is reportedly providing counseling, parents should take action immediately by talking to their kids."
"It may be tempting to assign a concrete reason for suicide in order to make sense of what happened, but don't," says Carle. "You'll teach your kids that taking your life is a coping mechanism. And don't lie and say there was an 'accident.' Once they find out the truth -- and they will -- they'll have a tough time trusting you in the future."
How explicit should parents be when it comes to this topic?
"Don't offer up the gory details, or any other information kids aren't ready to hear," she adds. "You can let them know that no one really understands why people do this, but suicide is not the answer."
The bottom line: "Tell your kids to come to you with any problems or if they feel hopeless or alone. And don't be afraid to probe if you feel your child is depressed. Then let them know that you will always be there to help them solve their problems."
In the coming weeks, we'll hopefully have more answers to this tragic story, but for now, we can only keep Teddy's family in our thoughts.
I have been checking out many of your articles and it's pretty nice stuff. I will definitely bookmark your site.
The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
I never knew there are so many international readers here…
I'm glad to be here. Your website is different from the Others. You are great!
Nice and very informative post. Your opinion is more or less the same as main. Thanks!
