Already off to a perfect start to its season, the Bandys girls soccer team notched its fourth win of the season Friday.
Behind a pair of assists by junior Allie Santos and two goals by senior Cassidy Winchester, the Lady Trojans improved to 4-0 overall with a 5-0 victory against Highland Tech.
"The girls played well," said Bandys coach Cliff Mayer. "I think this is by far our best game this season. We're 4-0 and ranked 11th in the state. Maybe with this win, we'll move up. I'll know on Monday. We're doing really good."
Fred T. Foard knocked off the defending NWC softball champions, Alexander Central, in impressive fashion, scoring nine of their runs in the final two innings to win 9-1.
The Lady Cougars took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning behind an RBI single from Chelsea Wilkinson.
Ashley Oliver helped pace the late Foard run, scoring three RBIs (two in the fifth and one in the sixth).
Mackenzie Dziendziel and Addie Bolick also drove in two RBIs each, while Rebecca Rowe tacked on an RBI of her own.
CHARLOTTE — Kris Humphries had 20 points and 15 rebounds and the New Jersey Nets overcame an injury to Deron Williams to defeat the Charlotte Bobcats 83-74 Friday night.
Anthony Morrow scored all 17 of his points in the fourth quarter to help the Nets break open a tight game.
Williams, who scored a career-high and franchise-record 57 points on this same floor Sunday night against the Bobcats, left in the second quarter with a sore right calf and did not return. He finished with seven points and three assists.
After dropping its past three softball games, St. Stephens received great play on the mound and timely double plays Thursday to knock off unbeaten Maiden, 3-1.
Up 3-0 in the sixth inning, the Lady Indians (2-3) dodged several potential tying chances by the Lady Blue Devils (5-1).
Maiden scored one run with one out in the sixth inning to cut its deficit to two, but a solid defensive play by the Lady Indians stopped the possibility of more Lady Blue Devil runs.
Taylor Rios and Liz Bell scored a pair of goals each to lift the Fred T. Foard soccer team past R.S. Central on Thursday, 6-0.
Caroline Durham and Ashley Jolly also scored one goal each for the Lady Tigers (4-1).
Foard's Hannah Skeen and Jennifer Montoya combined for the shutout in goal.

Bunker Hill 6, St. Stephens 2
Up one run heading after five innings, the Bears scored four runs in the sixth to distance themselves in a victory against the Indians.
Oliver Reitzel and Justin Aiken both scored two RBI each for Bunker Hill (3-2).
ATLANTA — Terrell Stoglin scored 25 points, including nine straight in a decisive 20-4 run to open the second half, and No. 8 Maryland ran past Wake Forest 82-60 on Thursday in the lopsided opening game of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Ninth-seeded Wake Forest led 28-27 late in the first half before Stoglin's basket capped a 9-0 run that helped give Maryland a 36-31 lead at halftime. The Terrapins pulled away in the opening minutes of the second half.
Newton-Conover senior Jake Walker will play his last high school football game with teammate Jervasse Moss after being selected to the 64th annual North Carolina Coaches Association East-West All-Star game.
Walker was thrilled when he learned of his selection.
"I was excited because it was one of my goals that I set at the beginning of the year," Walker said. "I wanted to strive to get better, on and off the field, that way in the end I could achieve my goal of playing college ball and becoming an all-star, either through the Shrine Bowl or East-West game."
After suffering defeat to Hickory on the baseball diamond once already this season, Newton-Conover was dealt the same fate again on Wednesday.
The Red Devils (1-2) allowed 10 runs to the Red Tornadoes and scored none in a mercy rule loss.
"Our team is so much better than 10-0," said N-C coach Corey Nunley. "That's not taking away from coach Craft's Hickory team. I don't think they are 10-0 better than us at all. They are good. Nine out of 10 times they might beat us, but we can keep it closer than 10-0."
The Bunker Hill tennis team earned its first victory against Challenger on Wednesday, 6-3.
The Bears (1-3) picked up four singles victories and two doubles victories on their way to the match win.
Michael Elmore (C) def. Kris Trihemasava 8-2; Braxton Williams (BH) def. Jairo Betancourt 8-0; Garrett Williams (BH) def. Brandon Williams 8-3; Nicholas Lee (BH) def. Russell Emerson 8-2; Jordan Punch (C) def. David Chang 8-6; Sai Vang (BH) def. Fidel Bazaldua 8-0
CHARLOTTE — Al Jefferson had 31 points and nine rebounds as the Utah Jazz defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 99-93 Wednesday night.
The Jazz controlled the paint, where they outscored the Bobcats 54-36 and outrebounded them 43-34.
Jefferson was 11 of 19 from the field and hit all but one of his 10 foul shots in a dominating inside effort. Paul Millsap scored 16 points while Derrick Favors added 14 points for the Jazz, who won for just the fifth time this season on the road.
The victory helped pull the Jazz back to .500 at 19-19.

It was a successful evening for Brooke Mueller last night -- she didn't get arrested!
Mueller was spotted with a friend on Sunset Boulevard around 11:00 PM. It's unclear where they went, but based on the video we posted last weekend ... we're going to guess they went dancing.
Sources close to Brooke say she is just trying to live a normal life and is trying stay positive after her arrest.
Mueller was bustedd in Aspen last Friday night for drug possession. She maintains she's innocent.
What is with the flying squirrel shirt?
She looks as high as a kite.
She has two small children. She just got arrested a week ago. Why, oh why did she feel the need to go out dancing? Stay home....take care of your children....get your **** together.
Seriously hope that some of that $55,000 a month child support is being set up for the therapy those children will need. Selfish, self-involved parents with addictive personalities who don't have the brains God gave a bean sprout...does not bode well for those poor children.
Here's an idea: Try staying home with your babies! A MOTHER who has just had legal problems should be at home, with her babies, getting priorities straight... Idk, maybe get a job. Maybe work a 12 step. Maybe GROW UP. (p.s. retire those ridiculous outfits)
Who is taking care of the kids while she out and about? For someone who fought to keep her kids, why is she out doing drugs and partying?
Hmm, If I'd been arrested and got out of jail, the first place I'd want to go is home to be with my kids. Sad that she first thought of finding a friend to go "dancing" with. Poor kids.
Why isn't she home being a mother to her children? Who cares is she partying she should be a mother FIRST!!!!
Trying to live a normal life? Really? isnt she A Mom? why is she out partying at 11 at night? when she ought to home with her children? She is an addict who has no interest in getting better.
That poor girl should stay home , grow up real fast and spend time with her sons while they are little.
This bitch is a drunk mudshark. I'm tryin' to keep my girlz safe from the dark stuff....
She looks...happy. Wonder how she got that way? Most people who are out on bail for their millionth drug relapse and an assault charge might have reason to look more - sober. Cops should just follow her around and search her every time she's out on the town - they'd probably confiscate a nice stash each time.
For somebody on hardcore drugs, she sure dresses like she's on weed and X.
Who says opposites attract?
Wow, slow news day...

Ask Polly: How Do I Stop Hating Myself For Getting Black-Out Drunk?
Hi Polly,
I drink a lot, some weeks nearly everyday, some weeks once or twice, and once I've started (usually when I get home from work) I always keep going until I go to bed. I'm OK if I do it alone, but if I communicate with people in any way while I'm not sober and then the next day I don't remember each and every word of the conversations I start panicking and feeling I did something horrible.
I've had a rough life, but I've worked hard and, after a couple of psychiatrists that didn't help much and 1.5 years of therapy that did, I'm finally, at 29, in a very good place. I have very interesting and kind sisters and friends, a job I really like, lots of projects and great dates with myself and crime novels in new restaurants every Friday night.
A year ago I cut my narcissistic abusive parents out of my life for good, and now I'm working (pretty successfully) on being less productive, going on more adventures and not chasing after unavailable pigs who didn't even read my comics. I'm starting to think men liked me more when I was deranged and full of anger and that's a bit upsetting, but I'm very happy with my life in general.
A few months ago my therapist and I decided I was ready for a break so I'm not seeing her at the moment, and I was drinking much less during my time with her and never addressed this, so I ask you.
I'm not a loud drunk. I don't cry, vomit, derail the conversation, break stuff, put myself or others in danger. I'm polite and mostly dance or sit around having fun and being nice to people. Then what's the problem? How do I stop waking in panic the next day, going over my memories looking for the part where I screwed up and now everyone hates me?
I was raped while I was in a K-hole once (or twice), so I could just be getting triggered by the feeling of not-quite-remembering the night before. Or maybe it's just my mother inside my head going all "Look at what you've done, you relaxed and had fun and probably forgot to stop the horrid real you from shining through, and who's going to love you now?" I don't know. I struggle with the idea of loveability being subjective, a lot. A part of me will never stop looking for the exact formula.
Or maybe those are just excuses and I'm just a good ol' drunk.
I'm not hurting anybody (but me, and only by panicking) and I don't want to stop drinking if I don't have to. Can you think of another way of stopping the panic?
Thanks a lot!
Dear Paranoid/Drunk,
You should stop drinking.
That paranoia and panic you feel isn't irrational or avoidable. That panic is your soul pleading with you to put aside your elaborate justifications and your self-protective intellectualizations for once, and accept that you are actively choosing a self-destructive path that will eventually destroy the happiness you've worked hard to achieve.
I want to urge you to open your heart and read this without quickly deciding I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I want to urge you to treat yourself with real care for the first time in your life. I know you believe that self-indulgence is self-care. You're wrong. You want me to help you with this relatively simple matter of feeling less panicked and paranoid in the wake of your binge drinking sessions. It's not that simple.
All of your growing self-doubt and self-hatred is pushed to the side when you drink heavily, so you have to wade through much more of it whenever you're sober. No wonder you seem to want to be sober less and less. But when you drink as much as you do as regularly as you do, you lose the ability to reflect rationally on the big picture of your life. When you're always drunk or a little hungover or gearing up to get drunk again, trust me, you don't see yourself or the world clearly. You think your sober moments are unreasonably negative when, in fact, they're rare chances for clarity, during which you question your self-savaging impulses, and grasp for a chance to take care of yourself, to keep yourself safe.
You believe that alcohol allows you to access who you really are. That's not true. What you access when you drink is a temporary escape from your self-hatred and anxiety. It's a short-cut you haven't really earned, that doesn't stick around for long. The boisterous, dancing, celebratory self after 2 or 3 drinks might be OK, but you never stop there, do you? It sounds to me like you're incapable of stopping there. You believe that you're owed more than that, that you have to grab more for yourself because no one else will. And soon the happy drinker is replaced by a sloppy, forgetful drunk.
Wanting to remember what you said to other people when you were wasted doesn't make you a control freak. It makes you a conscious, considerate human being who doesn't make excuses for her selfishness. Do you think you're a good listener to your friends when you're drunk? If you can't remember what you said, how do you remember what THEY said? Do you care what they say at all? How do you think it feels to have a relationship with someone who doesn't remember a lot of your interactions?
But thanks to your narcissistic parents, you may not be able to hear what I'm telling you. You may think I'm saying that YOU'RE BAD. You may think I'm saying that no one will ever love you, because you are horrid and rotten to the core. That's the black and white thinking of the damaged. That's not what I'm saying. In fact, what I'm saying is that you're turning your back on your vulnerability at the exact moment when it holds the key to moving forward. You're trying to push your sadness away, to write it off as irrational, instead of confronting it and accepting it and learning from it. Maybe you THOUGHT your way through your problems in therapy, but you haven't FELT your way to the truth yet. You can recognize intellectually that you were once open and nice and you were misunderstood and hurt and rejected by a cruel world, but you haven't mourned that loss completely and given yourself permission to feel disappointed and broken. Instead, you're determined to sally forth armed with ideas about what you should and should not accept, shutting out all naysayers and giving yourself exactly what you THINK you need along the way.
You ARE good, but you are going to lose that goodness if you can't ever make yourself vulnerable, if you can't feel your feelings and admit that you've gotten off track, that you can't survive by shutting the world out and drinking until you feel alive again. You're hoping that you're not THAT crazy. And when I tell you that you have to stop drinking yourself into a stupor and dare to be a hurt, crumpled, flawed, sober person who has made more than a few mistakes, you will hear me saying YOU ARE CRAZY AND BAD. This is your big challenge right now: to listen very closely and accept the fact that the people who SEEM to reject you don't loathe you as much as you think, and that the people who SEEM to accept you completely may have problems with certain aspects of your behavior that they're afraid to voice. Or, they're damaged like you, and they'll flee the second you show them your real, sensitive, emotional self.
I suspect that you'll find some inaccurate details here and use that to justify ignoring ALL of this. You might think that if I'm right about you, then everyone else who's ever rejected you (including your mother) and implied that you're nuts (including your mother) will ALSO be right about you. But that's not true. People can ask you to change your behavior without rejecting you to the core. You don't know that because you don't have good role models for that in your life, and you don't do it yourself. You either embrace people or reject them. They are either great or terrible. That's what deeply damaged people do.
You know what else damaged people do? They get very, very good at telling themselves elaborate stories about their rights and entitlements, how healthy they are, what's wrong with the rest of the world. When you were younger, this was an adaptive strategy, a matter of survival. As you get older, though, you are using these same tools to shut other people out, to become a self-reliant planet of one. Instead of NOT getting blackout drunk, you're simply going to stop calling people to talk. Problem solved. And slowly but surely, you yourself will become a judgmental narcissist. Where do you think they come from, anyway? They grow from the wreckage of damaged, overly criticized, under-loved, self-protective humans like yourself.
The first step to becoming a narcissist is making your own rules for everything. "Other people consider this alcoholism, but they don't know shit. All I'm doing is going on great dates with myself, and making myself happy. I won't let any more unavailable pigs tell me that I'm not lovable. I am lovable if I decide I am."
You know why men liked you more when you were deranged and full of anger? Because that was real. Right now, you're pretending. You went through therapy, but never told your therapist about your drinking. Maybe you were drinking less then, as you say, but it seems strange that it never came up, and that you started drinking more once you quit therapy. When you lie to a therapist? That's not therapy. That's bullshit practice, easily and cheaply sourced from any local bar.
You also say that you were raped once—or maybe twice—while you were in a fucking K-HOLE?! Dude. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
To state the obvious, you have been through some horrific shit. And I really am sorry about that. But your confusion and inability to trust yourself or take full account of your actions will continue until you stop bullshitting yourself and everyone else. This is your moment. Today is your day to look at the truth, to accept the truth, to feel the panic and the pain and the hurt of where you are. You have constructed something that won't last. The walls are rotting around you. It's time to look at what's true here, without fear, without hiding.
You were judged badly. You were hurt. You felt like nothing you did was ever right. You took on your mother's voice and adopted it and now it's in your head. You gave yourself shit constantly, and then you learned how to turn those voices off: By drinking too much, by giving up. When someone else criticizes you, you have an easy solution: you shut them out completely because you can't stand one more harsh word. You used to be furious at yourself all the time, for being unproductive, for falling behind on everything. So now you're over that. You think that's the solution, treating yourself like a petulant baby who needs what she needs no matter what. You pretend you don't care about being productive, that you're nicer than you are, but the anger is still there. Alcohol helps you to pretend.
So today, you have to try something really hard. You have to try to look at the truth without overgeneralizing and thinking that you're ALL BAD. You have to listen to other people, and allow them to give you guidance and support. You have to choose a path that leads away from narcissism. That means recognizing that other people with opinions and suggestions aren't ALWAYS just as unfair and selfish as your mother. You have to be vulnerable, feel your sadness, feel your grief, without believing that it means you're weak. You have to embrace your truly open, available friends and stop chasing men (and friends and family) who prefer the pretend, drinking, boisterous good-time-girl to the flawed, messy, sober, scared you. You have to accept that flawed woman and love her fiercely and try to protect her from rapists and K-holes and friends who think it's kind of funny that she gets fall-down drunk regularly, or friends who don't care enough to ask if she's been drinking too much, or friends who also drink way too much, or friends who get weird and squirrely the second she shows the slightest needy or negative emotion.
You have to return to your therapist or find a new therapist and tell that person the truth about your drinking and everything else. You have to tell everyone the truth. You have to ask them to challenge you, instead of playing along with your lies.
You may laugh off this reply. I know I would've done that, when I was hiding and rationalizing my bad behavior, telling myself that I never hurt anyone, telling myself that anyone who criticized me was just damaged or jealous. But this happiness you say you have is tenuous at best. Your identity is still forming, and you're warping your sense of yourself with this boozy horseshit routine of yours.
Today is the day that you decide to care for yourself, flaws and all. You need to make a commitment to yourself, to stop serving up drinks that keep you confused and hazy and bewildered and full of empty bluster. Do you know what that empty swagger of yours is worth? It's worth nothing. You might love basking in the illusion that you're carefree, but no one else is buying it, not really.
Today, you can choose to reach for a life that really IS carefree. You'll have the earned swagger of someone who truly listens, and remembers everything. You will be productive again—without beating yourself up over it—and you'll feel real satisfaction in your accomplishments for the first time, instead of feeling nothing. You'll indulge yourself with rewards that make you feel relaxed and proud of yourself, instead of making you panic. You'll return to therapy and you will stop drinking and after a few weeks of sobriety, the world will shift, and you will SEE where you've been clearly. And you'll see where you want to go.
You will stop pretending. You will go on a run, make a great dinner for yourself, read until you fall asleep, and wake with the sunrise to write your comics. You will love yourself, and the world will love you, too. You will be angry and lost and regretful and distracted and unproductive sometimes; you will be messy and emotional and way too sober, and you will be loved.

I know Polly already said this, and more eloquently, but you SHOULD STOP DRINKING.
I'm chiming in because I had many similar patterns to the ones you described in your letter, and I stopped drinking. My life is SO MUCH BETTER now. No panic, no regret, no anxiety. It's MUCH MUCH better on this side. Give it a try.
Your body will thank you. Your soul will thank you. You will feel better.
@Sharilyn Neidhardt: Also she will be reducing her breast cancer risk by an alarming amount. I find that one to be very motivating.
Polly, can you be my therapist please.
:( I feel you, LW. Although I've never had a real drinking problem, I think I can understand your frame of mind and previous experiences. Do not beat yourself up for doing this, cause that will just keep you stuck – but realize that you cannot help yourself this way, you're only hurting yourself. And you deserve to be in a better place. Sometimes we don't realize we're hiding from our truth and our hurt until something goes seriously awry, or we develop bad habits, or our gut instinct sends us red flags. We think we're trying really hard, and fighting against the difficulties of life, and this one thing is so simple and easy and helps us escape the sadness for a while, and who cares if it's destructive anyways because we aren't worth health and happiness. But listen to your inner voice that tells you shit is wack. Get a therapist, wade through the hurt, listen to Polly. Life is hard and bad shit happens to many of us, but you can come out the other side with some hard work. Don't take shortcuts, that will only prolong things and compound your problems. Don't hide from them either, cause that won't make them go away. I'm speaking from experience here, and I'm rooting for you!
…What is a "K-hole"? It does not sound pleasant.
@themnemosyne it's when you take so much ketamine time stops for you and it feels like a near-death experience.
@Paranoid/Drunk Okay. So. You are already well aware that there is something wrong. Wrong enough to write an advice column about it. You are not looking for advice; this is not a memory issue. Your problem isn't special or unique, you are not in any way alone. You are looking for permission to change yourself, to fix yourself.
You have our permission. Go. Call your therapist and tell them it's an emergency, call a crisis hotline, go to your nearest hospital, go ask for help. Whatever it takes, go. Go now. Do not overthink it, do not sit here replying to all the commenters in this thread, do not allow yourself to distract yourself.
Take action. You have our blessing.
Hi… LW here. OK. I wrote to my T asking her to fit me in as soon as she can. What do I do now? Do I go to an AA meeting or something today before I change my mind? Does AA even work?
@Paranoid/Drunk if you really want to work the program, it can work for you. there's parts of it not everyone loves – for example, some atheists i know don't like the higher power part – but they just kind of accept it in the context and keep at it. it doesn't work for everyone, nothing does – but if you want to stop, it's a very good place to try.
you can just google 'aa meetings near' wherever. you'll probably find one. even if it isn't the path for you, you will find a lot of very understanding people there to relate to. just, be open.
@Paranoid/Drunk Hey! Just want to say you are really brave for even contacting your therapist and thinking about going to AA so quickly. I started sobbing at my desk when I read this because it reminded me so much of myself. I too have a therapist and while I tell her that I drink, I definitely minimize the blacking out and the frantic text messages and anxiety associated with figuring out wtf I did the night before. Conflating self-indulgence with self-care is a huge problem for me…I feel like there is so much wrong with my life and I spend all day literally vibrating with anxiety, that what's the harm in doing something that lets me fucking relax for a little while?
I went to AA for 7 months and I hated it so I am a terrible role model and I don't want to say this to scare you. If you try it for awhile and you still want to go back, you always can. I had a sober 30th birthday party and it wasn't so bad. I also lurked outside AA meetings and then ran away before they started for months before I could bring myself to go, but it's definitely worth it, and I think about it a lot. Sorry for the novel about me (I may also be a narcissist…) but I just had to chime in to say you are not alone. I don't know where you live but I had the best experience at women's meetings if there are some around you. Good luck xx
@Paranoid/Drunk It can work. You should go. If it doesn't work, it won't be because you didn't try.
And you are so. smart. and. brave. for asking this question- you probably knew the answer, and asking makes it real. You can do the next step, and the next.
re: Polly's comment about how being challenged to adjust behavior =/= rejection and condemnation. Remember these two things:
1) Your worthiness does not come from being perfect. It comes from being human. You don't earn it, it's not something you work for. It's hard, if not next to impossible, to lose that worthiness. Being a human makes you worthy of love and respect. The UNDHR says is when it says all humans are "born equal in rights and dignity and should behave toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood." Your narcissist mom has been wrong about you all along.
2) Being asked to adjust your bad behavior isn't a thing people do when they don't care about you or want the best for you. It's what people do when someone they love and care about is hurting themselves and needs a change. If you're asking yourself "should I change? Do I need a change?" you're acting out of love and self respect. It's the same kind of love and respect other people who might tell you to quit drinking would be acting with, if they said those things.
Good luck, LW. You can do it. <3 <3
@Paranoid/Drunk Good for you. Really and truly: good for you. You have already made such a strong, brave, important step. The rest will be harder, but YOU are strong and brave and so you will make it through. AA can definitely work (I have many loved ones for whom it saved their lives) and I would encourage you to try it, if only to find a community who will support and not judge you, who are fighting this with you, who will see the true you and love you for it. We are all rooting for you and sending you so much internet love.
@Paranoid/Drunk AA helps some people to stop drinking, but be aware that it is substituting one habit (drinking) for another (meetings). Among the people I know who have tried AA, it does not address the underlying problems for why they are drinking too much. But stopping drinking can allow you to address those, if you want.
Why do you want to forget yourself? Why do you feel unloveable, or unworthy? And, more importantly, how can you cope with those feelings (which most everyone has in some degree from time to time) in a way that isn't just trying to escape? And what do you really want to do with your time now that it isn't blacked out? (As Baba Yaga might say – more artfully, of course – you must walk alone through the forest with your fears stalking beside you; if you obey the urge to flee into the darkness, they will hunt you down like predators — far better to meet them as tame allies, or at least indifferent creatures.)
@Paranoid/Drunk AA saved my dad's life. Like you, he knew he had a problem with alcohol, but tried every possible way to get around actually having to quit (e.g., "I just won't drink *vodka* anymore. I'll stick to brandy."). YOU ARE SO NOT ALONE in this. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.
@Paranoid/Drunk AA works for a lot of people, and not for others. I don't think it's the only way to get sober. I did not go to meetings, and I know a handful of other people who quit on their own as well. It's a VERY personal choice. I DEFINITELY recommend (talk) therapy, and if you are physically dependent on alcohol, I also recommend the guidance and care of a physician (for the first couple of weeks at least). I go to the gym every day, and that keeps me on track. I find the steam room really helps too.
But you don't have to do any of that. All you have to do is stop drinking. Just decide you won't drink anymore. And when you need help staying sober or dealing with your life, get help.
For what it's worth, this book really helped me. http://www.amazon.com/Sober-Good-Solutions-Drinking-Succeeded/dp/0618219072
@gulleyjimson There's a big difference, though, in that one habit (drinking) will kill you, and the other (meetings) definitely will not.
Honestly, I'm not AA's biggest fan, but it helps a lot of people stay sober, including many of my relatives. It's important for people with drinking problems to try WHATEVER WORKS. It may work for you! If it doesn't, find something that does.
I know it's a hoary cliche, but the first step really *IS* realizing that there's a problem. LW is there! And the next step is getting help for that problem. Godspeed! We really are all rooting for you.
@gulleyjimson "you must walk alone through the forest with your fears stalking beside you; if you obey the urge to flee into the darkness, they will hunt you down like predators — far better to meet them as tame allies, or at least indifferent creatures" I am going to write this down and put it on my wall!
@Paranoid/Drunk et al… A lot of people confuse the meetings with the program, and try to get sober by just going to AA meetings. Those people might very well be substituting meetings for drinking, and you're right, if you just do that then it's not going to address the underlying issues. What does is working the steps. All of them. Like a motherfucker. I know, even though I'm not an alcoholic, because I've worked them on all the other things that the above poster mentions – emotional abuse, rape, etc. – and been freed of all their effects, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, pretty much in direct proportion to how hard I'm working the steps. And because I learned how to do this from alcoholics, and I have seen how it does the same thing for them.
Personally, I've done therapy and self-help books and a ton of other stuff like that, and I've found that the twelve steps are way more powerful for dealing with any of the issues in my life. The thing is that you can't just read that lost of steps abs be like "that seems like it will/won't work" – the actual instructions for sine of them go much deeper and may not be at all what you had imagined. Plus it's free :)
I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing. You may or may not see this response, but I hope Polly's response and the comments from others showed you there there are people out there who want you to be well. Try going to the gym on a regular basis, it will help tire you out and will give you endomorphins that will help replace the presence of other substances.
Take care of yourself.
@LittleE Thank you! I'm OK. I haven't drunk or done drugs since the day this was published and I'm feeling worse and losing friends like crazy, so I guess everything is working as planned.
I come back and read the answer every couple of weeks and it sounds more compassionate and less cruel every time. I'm glad I wrote in.
Oh honey! Oh honey honey honey. Really wish I could give you a hug right now.
Good for you on calling your therapist. You've already changed your path by doing that. @gulleyjimson was absolutey right in asking that bigger question: Why do you want to forget yourself? Being completly honest and vulnerable with your therapist will help her/him figure out what tools to equip you with, and how to teach them to you so you're able to protect yourself.
In order to detox from the regular influx of alcohol, I strongly suggest seeing a physician. Your body will physically react to the lack of alcohol, and this can cause much of the anxiety and physical/mental discomfort you're feeling when you're not drinking. Withdrawl is dinstinctly unpleasant, but it doesn't have to be quite so much so.
Be honest with your sisters. They may be a help to you, either to support you emotionally or to spend some time with you in the evenings when you usually drink.
But what to do right this instant? Get outside. Go for a walk. Pump your arms, and work some of that anxiety out. Take deep breaths of delicious air. While walking, pay attention to your thoughts. Smack the negative thoughts in the face with a big stop sign. Focus on beautiful, lovely, positive ideas and thoughts. And smack those negative thoughts in the face again because they will interrupt your lovely thoughts again and again. That's the practice.
Brene Brown has some really wonderful TED talks, where I wrote down this quote: "How do you numb your vulnerability? When you're doing that you're also numbing joy."
Your alcoholism (yes, you, OWN it. it is not shameful.) is HOLDING YOU BACK. It is sneaky. Conniving. Persuasive. It tells you that everything is okay. And that PREVENTS you from fixing what is making you self-protective, anxious, and unhappy. Don't let it chain you to that space, breathing the same murky air, thinking the same shameful thoughts. It is quite literally poisining you.
Here is Brene's TED talk on vulnerability:
Sending so much love and support to you!!! xoxoxoxox
AA can work where nothing else did. The people that share their stories, the real stories like what you haven't been telling, and reach out to support others in the same fix, are doing a lot to making something work.
I've seen what doesn't work very recently, with an alcoholic family member who said no one cared about him and shut out the people who loved him. Last I saw him, he was on a tabletop in a jewelry -sized box. He was 49.
And I see it's time to change my avatar. Hillary taking a shot ain't that funny to me these days.

Classic Albums Live: The Wall
8:00pm. Single Tickets: $38, $48, $58. Subscribe from $29. The best-selling record that Pink Floyd ever made, The Wall is often regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time and, for many people, is the centerpiece of the Floyd collection. It's an impressive list of songs like "Another Brick in the Wall", "Mother", "Hey You" and "Comfortably Numb" that certifies Pink Floyd as the quintessential prog rock band. The Wall is primarily a triumph of production: its seamless surface, sound effects and blending of melodic fragments into stadium sized anthems separates this album from most. The ambitious concept record has achieved legendary status for its imagination and richness. This is a rock recital heard note for note and cut for cut.

Così fan tutte
Atom Egoyan explores love, fidelity and the frailties of the human condition.
Celebrated director Atom Egoyan returns to the COC, bringing his signature style to this wry comedy about two couples gambling with faith and desire. Featuring a cast of exciting young opera stars and distinguished, seasoned veterans, this work is full of both farce and folly. Yet Mozart's sublime musical depiction of the honest and intimate struggles of love and temptation is truly one of the greatest pieces about relationships ever written.
Performance time is approximately three hours, 5 minutes including one intermission.
Sung in Italian with English SURTITLES™.

Venue: Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts — 145 Queen Street West
Un ballo in maschera
An all-star cast includes Canada's great diva Adrianne Pieczonka and the exciting tenor Dimitri Pittas.
Composed directly after his hugely successful Rigoletto, La Traviata, and Il Trovatore, Verdi's Un ballo in maschera depicts a deeply human tale of forbidden passion between two very grown-up lovers. This stunning production sets Verdi's abiding love triangle in the American south of the 1960s, with its undertones of Kennedy-era tensions and power plays.
Performance time is approximately three hours including two intermissions.
Sung in Italian with English SURTITLES™.

Venue: Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts — 145 Queen Street West
A Masked Ball
The Canadian Opera Company presents A Masked Ball, Verdi's bittersweet opera of forbidden passion amidst dramatic political machinations and turmoil. An all-star cast features great Canadian soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and American tenor Dimitri Pittas in role debuts as the opera's two lovers, Amelia and Riccardo, embroiled in political intrigue beyond their control. Russian mezzo-soprano Elena Manistina returns to the COC as the mysterious fortune teller Ulrica, rising star British baritone Roland Wood makes his Canadian debut as Amelia's husband, Renato, and Ensemble Studio graduate Canadian soprano Simone Osborne is the saucy page, Oscar. Stephen Lord, one of North America's most distinguished conductors, leads the COC Orchestra and Chorus through Verdi's thrilling score. This production from directors Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito sets the action in an invented reality that draws on American culture, mythology and visuals from the heightened Kennedy-era politics of the 1960s to the red carpet pageantry of awards shows in the new millennium. Striking period sets and costumes evoke the television series Mad Men, full of the colour, optimism and vitality of the early 1960s, along with the occasional more contemporary detail.
Single tickets for A Masked Ball are $12 – $332 (with specially priced $22 tickets available for people under the age of 30). To purchase, go to www.coc.ca, call COC Ticket Services at 416-363-8231, or visit the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts Box Office, located at 145 Queen St. W., Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Davis to speak at players' meeting
Davis described comments the USGA and R&A have received in the last six weeks as "very good feedback," though nothing enlightening or that has caused them to feel as though they missed something in writing the rule.
The main reason for the new rule, as Davis and R&A chief executive Peter Dawson said Nov. 28, was a concern that anchored strokes was taking away some of the skill inherent to golf. Davis said the rule simply defined what a golf stroke is supposed to be.
"I don't think I'll say anything that's going to be new," Davis said. "Then I'll leave the room, and I'm sure it will be different."

Question & Answers
Answer from: Gauzzy
All you have to do is clear 63 enemies.....kill all the enemies till wave 4 and then use air strike when all the enemies have gathered around for wave 5....most of them will die leaving u only 2 to 3 people to kill.....hope this helps :)
Answer from: Cs1980
I played level 11 around 8 or 10 times and finally with help of thunderbolt n ice cold managed without any air strikes. Once u play a few times u will know the way soldiers come out. I used 1 medkit. Another suggestion keep moving.
Answer from: Xavier
The airstrike method worked for me actually... Though not the first time I used it. 40 seconds before the time was abt to end, I used an airstrike, but they kept coming. then 15 seconds before used again, still they kept coming and mission failed. Though after that again I tried, this time after wave 4, when the fifth van had just entered the scene. My planes blasted em all, then, 15s left, moved right twice, killed the Missile Man and mission completed. Kills: 63 - Vans Destroyed: 5
Answer from: gatts!
Thanks xavier! after 50 odd times i tried. its ur way that worked! thanka man!
Answer from: Tara
Totally agree with the first answer. Tried many times without luck, then bought the criterion sniper that looked the same as the dura zoom I was using, but maybe it made a difference. As soon as the trucks come close and turn to the right to exit, then is the time to position yourself to the far left and use the criterion sniper to aim at the drivers head. Then bam! Keep blowing up vehicles while killing the waves with a typhoon shotgun. When health goes low, use a med pack and I used an airstrike in the end that killed everybody. Mission accomplished! :)

Russian Helicopters is here at the Singapore Airshow (Stand U87) exhibiting three models: the Ka-32A11BC medium twin in rescue and firefighting configuration; the Ka-226T light twin with a medical module; and the Mi-38 heavy twin, which is primarily designed for passenger and cargo transportation.
Kamov Ka-92
"The Russian Hour," sponsored by the Russia-based Helicopter Industry Association, featured the introduction of two of Russian Helicopters' newest machines.
The Mi-171A2 is a follow-on upgrade to the venerable Mi-8/17 family and represents what program manager Dmitri Zuykov described as the next chapter in looking at broader global markets.
Russian Helicopters, the company that parents Russia's two helicopter design bureaus and five helicopter-manufacturing plants, is moving forward with a new-generation helicopter that is intended to replace the hugely successful Mil Mi-8/17 series. The new project, dubbed Rachel (Russian advanced commercial helicopter), clearly has many military applications.

FDA Safety Communication: Catheter Entrapment with the ev3 Onyx Liquid Embolic System
MedSun: Newsletter #74, July 2012
FDA MedWatch Safety Alert
The FDA is informing physicians and patients about the risk of catheter entrapment associated with the use of Onyx. Catheter entrapment happens when the catheter becomes stuck in the implanted Onyx material. The clinical data submitted by the manufacturer prior to marketing included cases where the delivery catheter was difficult to remove, but in all cases the catheter was removed without any adverse patient events. The original product labeling did not reflect the risks related to catheter entrapment but new labeling will include these risks as well as recommendations to help minimize that risk.
Additional Information:

A material called tantalum is found in almost every cell phone, as well as in laptops and cameras. This metal comes from the ground in Central Africa, which happens to be where animals like chimpanzees, gorillas and okapis live. When the metal is taken from chimpanzee habitats to be used in electronics, the homes of chimps, gorillas and okapis become disrupted and these animal populations decrease.
If you recycle your old cell phone with us, then the materials in the phone can be reused instead of getting new minerals from the ground in Central Africa.
When you recycle your phone at the zoo, we return it to a company called Eco-Cell that sells the individual parts of the phone so that they can be reused. Any proceeds then go to conservation efforts to save animals in the wild.

VIENNA. Sculpted reliefs from one of the greatest ancient Greek architectural ensembles have been restored, following a disastrous accident. Seven years ago, in an incident that received little international attention, sculptures from the Heroon of Trysa fell while they were being installed in a loan exhibition in Berlin.
Three large limestone reliefs from around 380 BC toppled from a height of 1.5 metres onto a tiled floor, shattering into over 500 fragments. Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum, which owns the Heroon of Trysa sculptures, has finally completed the painstaking restoration.The carved reliefs are from Trysa, in south-western Turkey, where they had decorated the Heroon, the burial site of a local ruler who was venerated as a hero. In 1881 the 165 reliefs that decorated the massive walled enclosure were removed and acquired by the Vienna museum.Although not as significant as the Parthenon Marbles or the Pergamon Altar, the Heroon of Trysa is nevertheless among the most important Greek structures with sculptural decoration. But despite the fact that the reliefs have been in Vienna for 125 years, they have never been publicly displayed, because of a lack of space. The Heroon sculptures have therefore failed to get the scholarly and popular attention they deserve.In 2002 fourteen of the Heroon reliefs were loaned for an important exhibition on "Greek Classics", organised by the Berlin Museums. It opened at Berlin's Martin-Gropius-Bau and went on to Bonn's Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle. The first three Heroon sculptures were being installed in the Martin-Gropius-Bau when the sloping stand on which they were being affixed toppled to the ground. Although the stand would have been stable with all 14 reliefs, it was designed with a fundamental flaw, since it was unstable when only a few of the sculptures were attached.When the Viennese conservator who was monitoring the Berlin installers saw what was happening, he instinctively put his arm out to try to break the fall of the reliefs. He then immediately realised the danger and leapt away. The conservator narrowly escaped being crushed by the steel stand and the three heavy stones, which were together about 3.5 metres long.The three reliefs broke into around 25 larger pieces, more than 500 smaller fragments and a quantity of what was little more than powder. The fragments were carefully reassembled, with the aid of earlier photographs. The larger pieces were held together with the insertion of steel rods, with smaller pieces being attached with Epoxid glue. Cracks and missing areas were partly filled with Primal Acetate mixed with rock meal. "The damage would now be barely noticeable to ordinary visitors," says Dr Kurt Gschwantler, director of Greek and Roman antiquities at the Kunsthistorisches Museum.The restoration was funded by the insurers, and they also made a significant compensation payment which has been spent on conserving the remaining panels which had remained in Vienna. These were given a very careful light cleaning with distilled water. The sculpted reliefs had originally been painted, and traces of pigments were discovered, which have been analysed and carefully preserved.

This sculpture is not Greek, but Lycian. In addition to its importance as an extremely well-preserved Hellenistic relief sculpture, it's also one of the very few depictions of the Trojan War from a Trojan perspective, rather than the oft-depicted Greek one.

The Taste of Cedar Key was a success, judging by the crowds that turned out to sample food from the area's restaurants and eateries. The food was dished out at the City Park and live music was provided by Jimmy Sweeney playing at the park gazebo. The Villages AACA was on hand during the Taste of Cedar Key and gave locals and visitors alike some very cool, old cars to check out. The Cedar Key Chamber of Commerce wants to say "Thank You" to them for coming. Proceeds from the "taste-ful" event will benefit the Cedar Key School Sharks.

Artist of the Month
The Cedar Keyhole's Artist of the Month for October is Sheila Thomas. Thomas is represented in the gallery in several mediums – photography, pottery, cast paper ornaments and notepads, fabric bookmarks and flowers artfully created out of pine cones and brightly painted. Her photographs are of Cedar Key scenes and wildlife, including the once iconic "honeymoon cottage" which is now just four pilings in the water.

Report: Kings agree to terms with Landry
Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - The Sacramento Kings have reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year deal with free agent forward Carl Landry.
The deal will pay Landry $26 million over four years, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
Landry was selected with the 31st pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by Seattle, but was quickly dealt to the Houston Rockets, where he spent his first three seasons in the NBA before he was traded to the Kings in 2010.
The Purdue product also played with the Kings for part of the 2010-11 season and also made stops in New Orleans (2010-11, 2011-12) before joining the Golden State Warriors for the 2012-13 campaign.
Over 81 games with the Warriors last season, Landry averaged 10.8 points and 6.0 rebounds coming off the bench.

GRAPEVINE — Grapevine's Historic Township will showcase a variety of beautiful historic homes and buildings during the Seventh Annual Candlelight Tour of Homes on Saturday.Guests on the self-guided walking tour will learn about the histories and renovations of the homes and buildings and speak with the property owners during the event, according to city spokeswoman Leigh Lyons. Docents will also be on hand to answer questions.The tour starts at Homestead Winery, 211 E. Worth St. Each participant receives a guidebook and a complimentary glass of wine. Luminaries will mark each destination home. The event is from 4-7 p.m. and tickets are $10 per person.New homeowners Simon Dirnberger and Lisa Wise are proud of their fledgling residence — built in 1907 — and are eager to share it with others for the night.Both love telling the story of how they found their dream "shack," as they lovingly call it.The couple moved from Tulsa for a job and settled into an apartment as they began their search for a permanent place to live. They were immediately drawn to the historic Grapevine area."We did not want a cookie cutter home," said Wise, 52. "We don't like chain restaurants and other chain things, too. We like people who open individual businesses, who like to take risks."The couple looked for a year."We stalked Grapevine," Wise said.They fell in love with an area within walking distance of downtown, Wise said, adding she would have "moved into a shack there."A price reduction got them into the home of their dreams at 521 E. Worth Street. They moved in in May with their 5-pound Yorkie, Wasabi. The city helped them make sure their renovations and improvements followed a historical path."It was awesome," she said, raving about the distressed wood floors and high ceilings. "We could have got a nice new house where everything works or a home that requires maintenance but is beautiful to look at."When they were asked to be a part of the tour, Wise said, "We were thrilled. Why wouldn't we be?"This 1,270-square-foot house is a vernacular cottage design. The design features a symmetrical facade with smooth exterior wall surfaces, turned spindles for the porch supports and tall, thin windows. Window surrounds are plain with a simple pediment above.Founded in 1844, Grapevine is the oldest community in Tarrant County. Settlers made their way to the fertile black soil of the Grape Vine Prairie and found good water, game and the nearby timber resources their families needed, Lyons said. Today, modern "settlers" live in Grapevine's Historic Township. Quaint, historic homes from the 1890s to the 1950s make up most of the historic district's housing, she said.For additional information about Grapevine, call the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau at 817-410-3185 or visit www.GrapevineTexasUSA.com.

With the classic Re-Animator getting its Blu-ray reissue this week, we talk to its director about this and his other genre films...
Re-Animator landed like a firecracker in the middle of 80s horror cinema. A wild, vibrant adaptation of the Hp Lovecraft tale, Herbert West-Reanimator, it was both extremely funny and remarkably close to the writer's source text. Jeffrey Combs plays the darting-eyed Herbert West, a gifted yet utterly mad young medical student who invents a serum which brings the dead back to kicking, screaming life.
A sprightly Bruce Abbott and Barbara Crampton play his fellow students, who can only watch in horror as their Miskatonic University campus fills up with angry revenant corpses from the morgue, while David Gale is brilliantly glowering as Dr Hill, West's nemesis.
With glowing reviews from mainstream critics, Re-Animator quickly became a cult favourite, establishing Stuart Gordon's reputation as a talented genre director. »

Australia... it's a vast, beautiful, welcoming country. It's also full to bursting with things that can kill you, if the big screen is to be believed. Inspired by Mia Wasikowska's plucky 1,700-mile trek across the Outback in Tracks, we flag up the traps and tropes she should watch out for.
(Un)Natural Phenomena
Exotic wildlife proliferates Down Under, most of it deceptively lethal. Witness the baby stolen by a dingo in horrifying Meryl Streep-starrer A Cry In The Dark (1988). The same – real – tragedy loosely inspired Razorback, a mullet-tastic 1984 horror about a giant marauding pig, directed by Highlander's Russell Mulcahy (mooted tagline: 'There Can Only Be Oink'). The less said about the ballet-dancing were-roos of The Marsupials: The Howling III (1987), the better.
Much more convincing is the giant CG crocodile munching Radha Mitchell's boat tour group (ex-Neighbours actors constitute an Outback peril all of their own) in 2007's Rogue, »

This is the first of my series, in which I will break down each player on the roster including the young guns in alphabetic order. Today I will take a look back on the season Rod Brind'Amour had, wondering if it was his last.
Rod Brind'Amour is the model of work ethic in the NHL and is why he has had a great career capped by winning the Stanley Cup in 2006. However, the last two seasons we have seen a major decline in speed and production from Rod. Since having the fourth best season in his career in 2006-2007 with 82 points, Brind'Amour barely made 50 2007-2009. However, in 2009-2010 his production really hit a low as he only had 9 goals and 10 assists failing to make 20 points for the first first time in his career. To make matters worse Brind'Amour finished behind only Patrick O'Sullivan for the leagues worst plus/minus rating with a negative 29. It seems since the knee injury that Brind'Amour has lost a step and that has really affected his game on the ice. With the way Brind'Amour's season was going the Hurricanes decided, with his blessing, that Eric Staal become the next captain of the franchise mid-season. GM Jim Rutherford felt that the team will be making a youth movement next year and wanted Staal to get his feet wet. Even though there was a captaincy change everyone still knew that Brind'Amour was a vital part of the locker room in 2009-2010.
In regards to retiring I think its a win, win for the Hurricanes organization. If Brind'Amour decides on retirement than the Hurricanes will have his salary off of the cap and room to re-sign players. It would also allow Brind'Amour a chance to be in the front office of the Hurricanes. However, if he decides he wants to finish his contract it give the Hurricanes a veteran with a great work ethic to show the young kids and help them along in development. Hopefully will know something soon after the playoffs

MEDINA, NY (WKBW) -- A 77-year-old Village of Medina man is dead after being the victim of a violent home invasion and burglary.
According to the Journal-Register in Medina, the victim was beaten and robbed after waking early Monday morning to find two or three intruders in his home.
The homeowner, listed as 77-year-old Homer Marciniak, sought help after the attack from a neighbor and called an ambulance. According to a neighbor, Marciniak was taken to an area hospital, and was released later that day.
Around 2:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, Marciniak apparently collapsed in his home, and was again taken by ambulance to a hospital where he later died.
Neighbors say Marciniak had a bad heart and underwent heart surgery last year, and believe the attack may have contributed to his death.
Police and the DA's office are not commenting on the case at this time as it is an on-going investigation.

With anything worth something, it's not always easy, although it is a way to make money. One of the drawbacks of medical transcription is that it takes training and continuing education. This one thing scares numerous would-be medical transcriptionists out of the industry. It will take commitment along with a readiness to learn and keep discovering.

The 13 Nights of Halloween by Guy Vasilovich
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A good book for teaching young children math. This Halloween book is a good book for Pre K-3rd grade in which the protagonist is a girl who is given one more thing as each day passes. The one who gifts the protagonist is a mummy. So it is a nice spooky book for Halloween. The pictures are very nice and vivid so that the children will be animated and interested. The thirteen nights of Halloween is a fun mathematics children's spooky book.
Love this book! It was similar to the song "My True Love Gave to Me", but for Halloween. Kids would get a kick out of this book.
The details in this book were incredible to me. There was a lot of though put into it which made the book stand out to me. My favortite part about what the author did was structure the book after the 12 days of christmas. I caught myself literally singing the words in my head the same way I would to christmas version. The silliness to me is what the kids will love the most in a classroom setting.
This Halloween themed book is a spoof off the 12 days of Christmas. I got the opportunity to read this book aloud to a class of 4th graders. It could not have gone better. They understood that it was a spoof off another story and sang along with me while I read to them. This book uses colorful and friendly pictures to illustrate the words. It also has puns such as "baseball bats" illustrated as a group of bats that play baseball. I would highly recommend this book for a Halloween lesson and a lesson on what 'spoofs' are.
Most of us are familiar with the twelve days leading up to Christmas, but how many of us know about the thirteen nights leading up to Halloween? Author Guy Vasilovich has created a lyrical treat to help us count them. On each night, a little girl's mummy gives her a present. The first present is a bright shiny skeleton key. On each following night, the little girl receives a gift a little more creepy, icky, slimy, or spooky than the previous ones. The usual Halloween characters like bats, ghosts, and witches all make their appearances making this a fun way to enjoy Halloween.
The Bottom Line: "The 13 Nights of Halloween" is filled with creepy cute illustrations in vivid colors that children will love. Sung to the tune of "Twelve Days of Christmas," there is a lot of repetition in this book. The text is easy to read and will be a hit with beginning readers. Enthusiastically recommended for kids in grades K – 2, and for those who love spooktacular illustrations. This book features silly Halloween fun, and I really enjoyed it.

From debut author-illustrator Guy Vasilovich comes a picture book that is sure to inspire even the youngest readers to start the creepy countdown to Halloween. Sing along to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" as you get ready for the scariest—and silliest—night of the year.
