Today I wanted to walk you through using the Custom Press plugin for WordPress. Now for those of you who aren't or have little to no interest in coding, relax, and don't break out into a cold sweat this isn't going to be one of "those" articles. Custom Press is a Plugin that allows you to customize WordPress Post Types (meaning what we would normally call "posts" and/or "pages" in WordPress) so that you can customize to your heart's content. It also gives you plenty of control over taxonomies (meaning categories for your custom post types).
Let's dive into how you can first of all create custom post types and taxonomies so that you can use them in your site and also how you can embed them once you've created them. Sit back and enjoy the screenshots. Once you've done the hard work of installing the plugin (and by the way its not hard at all) the next thing to do is to find it and configure it. Most plugins that you install create their own heading in your WordPress backend dashboard however Custom Press doesn't. It creates the sections for Post Type and Taxonomies under the "Appearance" section for your theme as you can see below.
Step 1: Creating a Custom Post Type
Creating a custom post type is not that hard using Custom Press. Click on the "Post Type" option and you will be taken to a page like this…
From here enter the name using a standard naming convention, the plural and singular label of the post type and a description about the post type and click "Save". What you will notice after saving your custom post type is that you will have an option in your left side navigation menu representing your newly created custom post type just like what you see below.
When you click the "Add New" option from the menu you'll be brought to a page that looks a lot like the standard post and page post types with a few exceptions including the fact that the name is related to the customer post type that you created.
Step 2: Creating Taxonomies
Taxonomies are important for creating your custom post types in that they outline the categorization of your custom post types. For example, if you create your custom post type called "Books" using Taxonomies you can outline genres, price points, authors and languages using a taxonomy structure. The best way to think of taxonomies is to think of it like a category, something I am sure we are all familiar with and use it that way. Let's have a look at setting up taxonomies.
As you can see above all you need to do is set the taxonomy name, singular and plural labels and select the post type you want to apply it to whether its a standard post type like a page or post or a custom post type like we talked about previously.
Once you've saved your taxonomies you can start to use them in your post types to build out your hierarchy. Lastly I wanted to show you just how to embed these custom post types and taxonomies into your WordPress website.
Step 3: Embedding your custom post types and taxonomies into themes and plugins
The real magic behind using Custom Press is the fact that you can take the post types and taxonomies and start to include them into your website. In order to embed the post type or taxonomy you've created into your website in any custom manner you need to hover it first.
When you click "Embed Code" you'll notice that it generates code which you can then embed into the functions.php file of your WordPress theme.
Now that I've shown you how you can customize WordPress using custom post types and taxonomies I urge you to check out the Custom Press plugin to customize your WordPress website.

SCM Reader: Christianity And Other Religions
Full Product Description
"Christianity and Other Religions" is divided along the same lines as the textbook(9780334041146). In the first section, readings are divided according to the sub-sections, providing at least one reading for each, with those paradigms which have been more influential, receiving most attention. Importantly a number of readings will also be given critical of the approach in question. The second section contains at least two readings per section, both adopting a different way of understanding that faith. This provides a positive and negative attitude to the faith in question, or highlights the work of two influential commentators. While the emphasis is on contemporary works, important historical readings are included. A short introduction to each text means that, like the Core Text, the work can be used as a stand alone text.
SCM Reader: Christianity And Other Religions by Paul Hedges;Alan M. Race was published by SCM Press in November 2009 and is our 66962nd best seller. The ISBN for SCM Reader: Christianity And Other Religions is 9780334041153.

Ha, I love this place!:) I've found it on a website when an old friend came to visit and asked me to help finding new places. This is a nice place - I knew later that it was filmed in one favorite thai series.
We booked the green room near the river. Each room has different color and different concept. They have 7 different rooms and other share bedrooms. The price is included breakfast. There's a living room for everyone like a place to meet up and chill near the river. My room - oh, I can see the view of Bangkok at night:) Really great.
Besides hotel service, they also have bike service and travel around the canal tour. Check in at 1pm, check out at 11am.
If you need a quiet place near the river and don't mind about the price, try it once:)

text: We have heard the claims repeatedly from BMW's people ever since they announced the development of their brand new series of 1.5-liter TwinPower three-cylinder petrol and diesel engines: these new powerplants will be strong, fuel-efficient and equally important, sound the part. At the recent Paris Motor Show, BMW sales and marketing boss Ian Robertson told reporters that the new three-cylinder engine "behaves like a six-cylinder, is half-of a six-cylinder and has the noise of a six-cylinder". Want more? Here is another quote from BMW regarding the gasoline version of the 1.5-liter twin-turbocharged unit that will be offered in outputs ranging from 120Hp to 220Hp: "In addition to the high-revving characteristics and gratifying responsiveness, the emotional sound of the engine also makes an important contribution to the driving experience. Because the frequency of the sound of a three-cylinder engine increases 50 per cent faster than that of a four-cylinder, the engine is perceived as being extremely vivacious and sporty." Now the time has come to listen to the sounds of a prototype 1-Series fitted with a 180Hp version of the gasoline three-cylinder engine linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission, as BMW recently invited several websites to try out the test cars. Check out the videos below and then head over to the comments area to share your first thoughts. We tip our hats to Dustin! Story References: Bimmer-Today , Paultan , & via BMWBlog

Troubleshooters: Mail mix ups in Brunswick County
In tonight's Troubleshooters report, the story of a Brunswick County woman who's having problems getting her mail delivered.
Judy Andricak says her mail carrier is getting her mail mixed up with her neighbors. Sometimes it gets returned to her, sometimes it doesn't, and not getting her mail on time is starting to affect Judy's finances.
"When you don't get the bills on time or when your car insurance gets canceled, because you don't get a bill on time, it causes issues," Judy Andricak said.
Judy Andricak has good reason to be frustrated. She's had late fees on her credit card bill, insurance cancellations, and hits to her credit score.
Judy lives in a neighborhood in Ocean Isle Beach, and her mail often gets mixed up with the lady on the next street over, who has the same street number, or with a gentleman on another street who's street number is one digit off from hers.
She's getting their mail, too. "I have received retirement checks for one person, I've received an insurance check for another person, and these were substantial amounts I opened them unknowingly because they were in my mailbox," Judy said.
This isn't a new problem. Judy says it's been going on for more than nine years, and the same carrier has been delivering her mail the whole time.
She says she's driven to the post office about 30 to 40 times over the years to complain, but it's not working. "The Post Office says they'll warn her, they'll talk to her, but obviously something isn't happening because the same mistake occurs over and over and over again."
The postmaster said that he was aware that Ms. Andricak was having problems with her mail, but had no idea it had been going for this long. He says they've had about half a dozen postmasters over the last nine years, and with all the turnover, they may not have realized the magnitude of the problem.
Enola Rice, a Post Office spokesperson, assured us that they have put some procedures in place to double check the carriers work, and will make sure this gets resolved one way or another. "That's our obligation to the customer, to make sure that her mail is delivered correctly, so we certainly apologize for the misdelivery that she is experiencing."
Since we got involved, the Post Office has offered Ms. Andricak a free PO Box and offered to write letters to her credit card companies and insurance providers explaining their role in her late payments.
While credit card companies hear the "I didn't get my bill" excuse all the time, it's rare for the Post Office to issue a letter taking blame for the problem.
The Post Office says a letter from them should carry some weight when it comes to getting a late fee waived.
Post Office officials say if you're having a problem with mail delivery, the best way to get it resolved is by filing a complaint through 1-800-ask-usps.
While you might think it would be more effective to complain in person, using the 1-800 number ensures there's a record of your complaint.

I ended up staying in Batavia until yesterday. Each time I thought about leaving, my Mom's breathing would change and I wanted to stay by her. By Friday, I felt that I had neglected my boys (although I am sure they didn't mind being alone without a hovering mother for a few days.) So I came home, driving the 250 miles on very little sleep and a lot of sadness. Now I stay by the phone and bug my siblings who are with my Mom, but I know they don't mind.
While I was at my brother's house this past week, I looked down on their leather couch and saw something silver. I pulled it out and there was the earring. I could not believe it. My sister-in-law is a good housecleaner so I know that if she had spotted it these last few months, she would have told me. (At my house, on the other hand, you don't want to look below those couch cushions!)
At first I was afraid that I had accidentally brought the single earring with me, but when I got home I checked. It was the missing earring. Today when I put them in my ears I sent a silent thank you to Meg for giving them to me. And I sent another thank you to Catie for choosing this time for me to find it. I think it was her way of telling me that she was going to take care of her "Dommie" when my Mom gets to heaven.

"The Valentines" were an Australian rock 'n' roll band active from 1966-1970, chiefly noted for their lead singers, Bon Scott, who later went on to great success as lead vocalist with AC/DC, and Vince Lovegrove, who subsequently became a successful music journalist and manager of Divinyls.
The band was formed in late 1966 with the amalgamation of Perth groups The Spektors and The Winstons. They capitalised on the success of both the former bands, plus the interest created by having two lead singers in Scott and Lovegrove. Inspired by The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and local stars The Easybeats, they enjoyed considerable local success and released a few singles.
In late 1967, The Valentines moved to Melbourne in search of greater success, and soon toured other major cities. With a development towards the popular Bubblegum sound late in 1968, the band became more in demand, particularly among teenage girls. However as the fashion for bubblegum music wore off, The Valentines struggled to retain their musical credibility despite a turn towards rock music. With differing opinions within the band concerning musical direction, and a much-publicised drugs bust in September ...

BIOGRAPHY - class
Tsukui Katsuyuki and Koso Okazaki were a dynamic vocal duo group. In 2008, they embarked on a new journey.
In 1993, class released the hit song "1993", which had a summer theme that could be enjoyed year round. This legendary debut hit single sold 1.6 million copies nationwide. This was the beginning of a successful music career with 7 hit CD singles & 6 top selling albums.
In 2007, class, along with many other famous musicians, released a 2007 compilation album titled "R35 Sweet J-Ballads".
Then, in February of 2008, they appeared on the "Tokudane" tv show at Fuji Television studios and performed their hit single "1993". That year they also made special appearances on popular TV shows such as SKY Perfect TV, NHK Live, TV Tokyo and were featured in a FLASH magazine article as well as other media outlets.
Spring of 2008, class broke up due to creative differences. Tsukui Katsuyuki decided to continue as a solo artist. He soon after met up with Koso Okazaki. Impressed by his vocal talent and character, he asked Koso to join class. In December of that year the newly formed class duo released a renewed version of the "1993" hit, entitled "2009", and with that renewed success class was back again. Through modern social music media technology such as Itunes, docomo, melody call, ringback tone and pc downloads class reaffirmed the summer association of the hit song "1993". That year "1993" became the No1 karaoke song on media sites like Yahoo and Karaoke DAM with 30,000 downloads by Reko-Choku. To celebrate their newly found success, class performed a live show featuring the famous R35 J-Ballads artists from the R35 CD compilation.
Unfortunately, and very tragically, Tsukui Katsuyuki passed away in 2009, but not before releasing a final class album with Koso, entitled "16 Years and a Day". He will be sorely missed by his fans and good friend Koso Okazaki, but the beauty of his music will live on in the Cherry Blossoms.

Edge gymnasts impress in Alberta Cup meet at home
Thursday, Feb 06, 2014 11:28 am
For Airdrie Edge Gymnastics Club Head Coach Jamie Atkin, the performance of his club�s 15 athletes during the Alberta Cup event at Genesis Place on Feb. 1 and 2 was one that he was �pumped up� about.
�It was an excellent performance for our first meet of the new season,� Atkin said.
�For the club, this was our first meet of any kind since August of last year, but we had athletes who hadn�t competed since May or June of 2013 and we had others who were competing in an event like that for the first time.�
�For the athletes, to be able to sleep at home in their own beds, being in their own gym to compete in, and to have their family and friends be there to support them also played a key role in their success,� he added.
While Atkin was quick to point out that everyone on the team performed well, there were a few athletes that stood out in different ways during the two-day event.
One of the Edge athletes that impressed Atkin was Nicole Tailby from Okotoks, who has been training with the club in Airdrie since late last year and came away with a fourth-place finish in the women�s double mini trampoline provincial level three event in her first big meet with the club.
�Nicole is a young lady who has changed a lot of things in a short amount of time,� Atkin said. �She�s really competing very differently than she had been a year ago, and a lot of that is because of the aggressive adjustments that she has made with us.�
�It was very impressive to see how she did,� he added.
Another athlete that stood out for Atkin was Edge veteran Hailey Macaig, who earned first place in the national open double mini trampoline, trampoline, and tumbling events.
�Hailey had an ankle injury earlier in the year, but she worked through that and got ready for this meet, where she stepped up her game big time,� Atkin said.
�She was in three events and had ten routines during the weekend, and just about all of them were new and difficult for her.�
�She went above and beyond with how she performed, and she just nailed every routine that she had all weekend,� he added.
Medal winners:
� Brody Atkin (first in men�s national open double mini trampoline, second in men�s national open trampoline)
� Caitlin Brown (second in women�s senior trampoline)
� Allie Davies (first in women�s provincial level three trampoline, third in women�s provincial level two tumbling)
� Charlie Hodges (first in women�s provincial level two tumbling)
� Sydney Jeter (third in women�s national open tumbling)
� Emma Morin (third in women�s provincial level one trampoline)
� Tayla Montefresco (first in women�s provincial level one trampoline)
� Reuben Neufeld (first in men�s provincial level one trampoline)
� Beatrice Prcic (second in women�s national open trampoline and women�s national open double mini trampoline, third in women�s national open tumbling)
� Ashlee Rasmussen (third in women�s provincial level one double mini trampoline)
� Camille Rigazio (second in women�s junior tumbling)
The next event for the Edge team will be a club event in Red Deer on Feb. 8 and 9, which will be used as preparation for the second Alberta Cup event of the season in Okotoks on Feb. 22 and 23.

Mark Morris Dance Group to Appear at Center for the Arts
Posted: February 15, 2007 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Universally praised for his technique, perfectionism, musicality, and bold movement language, Mark Morris creates works for his Mark Morris Dance Group that are at once serious, profound, outspoken, thought-provoking and entertaining.
The program for both performances at Mason's Center for the Arts on Friday, Feb.23, at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m. features "The Argument" danced to Schumann; "Sang Froid" set to Chopin; the Stravinsky-powered "Candleflowerdance" and "Grand Duo," one of Morris's signature works backed up with a Lou Harrison score.
From 1988 to 91, Mark Morris was director of dance at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the national opera house of Belgium. In 1990, he founded the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov. He has worked extensively in opera, directing and choreographing productions for the New York City Opera, English National Opera and the Royal Opera, Covent Garden.
Named a fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 1991, he has also received honorary doctorates from the Boston Conservatory of Music, the Juilliard School, Long Island University, Pratt Institute, Bowdoin College, Bard College, Bates College and Mason.
He was a recipient of a New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Mayor's Award for Arts and Culture and a WQXR-FM Gramophone Special Recognition Award for exposing thousands of people to classical music of the highest standard coupled with his own approach to dance.
Mark Morris Dance Group is noted for its commitment to live music, and the group often collaborates with leading orchestras, opera companies and musicians, including cellist Yo-Yo Ma in the Emmy Award-winning film "Falling Down Stairs " (1997); The Bad Plus in "Violet Cavern " (2004); pianists Emanuel Ax and Yoko Nozaki for "Mozart Dances" (2006); and the English National Opera in "Four Saints in Three Acts " (2000) and "King Arthur " (2006), among others.
Last season's 25th anniversary celebrations included more than 100 performances in 26 U.S. cities and 10 U.K. cities; five world premieres; and Mark Morris's conducting debut in a performance of "Gloria" at New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music.
The Mark Morris Dance Group Music Ensemble, formed in 1996, performs with the dance group at home and on tour and has become integral to the company's creative life. The ensemble's repertory ranges from 17th-century works by John Wilson and Henry Purcell to more recent scores by Lou Harrison and Henry Cowell. Cellist Wolfram Koessel is the ensemble's director.
Pre-performance discussions, free to ticket holders, will be held at 7:15 p.m. each evening on the hall's Grand Tier.
Tickets are $44, $36 and $22. Charge by phone at 888-945-2468 or visit www.tickets.com.

Girl finally broke her silence on incest by soldier dad
MALACCA: A woman who was allegedly sexually abused through the years and kept the incest a secret has finally broke her silence.
It took the victim nine years to muster the courage to lodge a police report exposing what her soldier father did to her.
The woman, now aged 20, claimed that her father also locked her up in a room when she was in Year Six and sexually abused her.
She was only given food during those few days and was not allowed to attend school.
The abuse purportedly lasted for five years, beginning when she was in Year Five until she ran away from home.
She also claimed in her report that there had been occasions when her father tied her to the bed and also inserted objects into her private parts.
The woman alleged that she endured a torturous period under the care of her father and claimed she got the courage to lodge the report after four years only because her aunt had assured her that she would not be harmed.
Her relative, who requested anonymity, claimed the victim told him that her father had raped and sexually abused her.
He alleged the woman's mother was aware of the abuse but kept silent because of her husband's fierce character.
The victim had on numerous occasions complained to her mother but her pleas went unheeded.
"Her mother even advised the victim to put up with the ordeal to avoid annoying her husband," he claimed.
The relative alleged that the father became more daring after realising his wife would not take any action, resulting in him making sexual advances towards his daughter in the presence of his wife and other family members.
"She stayed at the relative's house until she completed her SPM," he said.
Besides lodging the police report, they also asked Wanita MCA for help.
Its chief said they would assist the woman in seeking legal redress based on the outcome of the police report. – The Star

BOSTON (WWLP) – Massachusetts is now one signature away from hiking the state minimum wage to $11 an hour by 2017.
Low wage workers hope Governor Patrick will sign the minimum wage bill that received overwhelming approval from the state legislature, but business owners are concerned about how much it will cost them.
They told 22News if the minimum wage goes up to $11 an hour, workers with more experience and qualification will want a raise too.
Tim Graney, VP of Operations for Valet Park of America said, "If a high school student is earning $11 an hour. What is a young person who's attending college and paying for college going to expect to earn?
22News will continue to follow the story and we'll let you know if and when Governor Patrick gives the minimum wage hike his final approval.

Thanks to video technology, a man suspected of swiping three bottles of expensive vodka on Feb. 6, at Nichols Discount Liquor store in Liverpool, has been identified.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Michael Bertrand, 55, who allegedly stole three bottles of Grey Goose vodka from the store at 301 First St. He can be seen on the store video recorded that Wednesday afternoon stuffing the bottles down his pants before stopping at the cash register to pay for an inexpensive liqueur bottle. The cost of the stolen bottles was about $125.
Bertrand's last known address was in Syracuse, but police believe he's presently homeless.
"He's on the move," said Liverpool Police Chief Don Morris. When Bertrand's located, he'll be charged with petit larceny, a Class A misdemeanor, according to the chief.
The store's surveillance video clearly shows Bertrand's movements in the shop's right rear corner. As he approaches the camera, his face is distinctly visible.
At the Feb. 19 meeting of the Liverpool Village Board of Trustees, Morris praised the efforts of WSYR-TV NewsChannel 9, the local ABC-TV affiliate, for airing the Nichols video on its newscasts on Feb. 6 and 7.
"[WSYR-TV] reporter Christie Casciano did a great job to help us get our suspect identified," Morris said. "That video was a great resource and putting it on the local news means that the more eyes that see it, the better chance we have of finding the guy."
Mike Hennigan, who owns Nichols Discount Liquors along with Nichols Supermarket at 327 First St., also thanked NewsChannel 9 for its interest in the case.
"With Channel 9 airing the video," Hennigan said, "hopefully we can find this guy so he doesn't do it to other stores."
Forty-one parking tickets issued
Via a memo Liverpool Police Chief Don Morris informed the village board of trustees at their Feb. 19 meeting that officers issued 130 citations for violations of the state's vehicle and traffic laws during January. In addition, five warning tickets were issued for minor motor-vehicle violations.
Three arrests were made for driving while intoxicated, 13 traffic accidents were investigated and 41 parking tickets were issued.
Officers made 219 residential checks during the month while investigating a total of 312 complaints.
During January, LPD officers arrested 24 individuals on a total of 38 criminal charges.

Drug and alcohol addictions affect people from all walks of life. If an individual has access to alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs and uses on a regular basis, the risk for addiction is there. With each passing year, rates of and drug and alcohol addiction continue to rise among teenagers, young adults and older adults alike.
Since different types of substances produce different effects, addiction potential can vary from drug to drug; however, regular, long-term substance abuse in any form will lead to the same end: addiction. Knowing the different types of substances and what signs to watch for can go a long way towards helping you or someone you know avoid addiction's trap.
Call our toll-free helpline at 800-654-0987 for information on drug and alcohol addiction treatment.
Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol has remained a long-standing recreational substance for centuries on end. Likewise, certain drugs of abuse, such as hallucinogens and stimulants also have a long history as recreational substances.
What makes drugs and alcohol addictive stems from their ability to alter the brain's normal chemical processes, according to Stanford Medicine. In effect, addictive drugs and alcohol can integrate within the brain's chemical system. With ongoing use, these substances become an essential part of the brain's day-to-day workings.
As a general rule, the longer a person engages in substance abuse practices the more ingrained the addiction becomes.Take Back Your Life. Call The 24Hr Addiction Hotline 800-654-0987
Statistics on Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Over the course of the last 10 to 15 years, drug and alcohol addiction rates have skyrocketed. Not surprisingly, increasing rates of substance abuse have laid the groundwork for addiction rates to soar.
According to the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration, the year 2013 saw an estimated 24.6 million Americans, 12 years old and up, engaging in illicit drug use. For adults 50 years and older, rates of substance abuse doubled between the years 2002 and 2012.
Perhaps the most alarming statistic of all concerns increasing rates of prescription drug abuse over the last 15 years. Prescription opioid abuse in particular doubled the rate of emergency room visits and accounted for an estimated 12,660 overdose fatalities in 2012.
As far as alcohol abuse trends go, statistics for 2013 show 52.2 percent of Americans 12 years old and older reported being current drinkers. Binge drinking trends showed as many as 22.9 percent of Americans engaging in excess alcohol abuse on a regular basis.
For information on drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs, call our helpline at 800-654-0987.
Common Drugs of Abuse
Whether you're drinking beer, wine or hard liquor, the damaging effects of alcohol remain pretty much the same. With so many different varieties of drugs on the market, drug abuse effects can vary drug to drug.
Overall, four categories of addictive drugs exist:
- Opiates – such as heroin, hydrocodone and Vicodin
- Sedatives – such as Xanax, Klonopin and Valium
- Stimulants – such as cocaine, Adderall and MDMA (ecstasy)
- Hallucinogens – such as LSD, PCP and magic mushrooms
Whereas opiates and sedatives both slow brain and central nervous system functions, stimulants rather speed up the body's processes. Hallucinogens produce varied effects depending on the drug type and can also be highly unpredictable in effect.
Signs of Growing Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Tolerance Level Increases
Drug and alcohol addictions develop out of the ongoing changes taking place within the brain's chemical system as far as its neurotransmitter production rates go. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, drugs and alcohol produce psychoactive effects in terms of their ability to change normal chemical processes over time.
Tolerance level increases become one of the first signs of a growing drug or alcohol addiction. In effect, rising tolerance levels indicate the brain has adjusted its normal neurotransmitter production rates to accommodate drug and alcohol effects.
Rising tolerance levels also indicate brain cells have undergone a certain degree of damage in the process. This damage weakens chemical-producing cells making them less sensitive to a drug's effects. Consequently, larger drug or alcohol amounts must be consumed in order to produce the same desired effects.

Withdrawal Episodes
If you've abused substances for any length of time, you've likely experienced withdrawal episodes along the way. Withdrawal episodes result from growing brain chemical imbalances that ultimately disrupt the brain's ability to maintain the body's systems as normal.
While withdrawal effects can vary between alcohol and drug use, as well as from drug-to-drug, some of the most common types of effects experienced include:
- Profuse sweating
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Fatigue
- Sleep disturbances, such as problems falling asleep, staying asleep or waking early
- Feelings of depression
- Bouts of anxiety
- Hypersensitivity to light, sounds and touch
- Muscle aches
- Muddled thinking
The longer a person keeps abusing drugs and alcohol the more severe withdrawal effects become and the more often they occur.
Mental Effects
While drug and alcohol addictions most definitely compromise the body's physical health, the roots of addiction take shape inside your thinking, emotions and behaviors. With ongoing substance abuse, chemical imbalances in the brain warp its chemical pathways to the point where the areas that regulate thinking, learning and emotions change in fundamental ways.
According to Harvard Health Publications, once addiction develops, the damaging effects of drugs and alcohol "rewires" your psychological makeup in the following ways:
- Changes your motivations
- Changes your life priorities
- Redefines your sense of right and wrong
- Makes compulsive substance abuse the focus of your daily life
Lifestyle Changes
The damaging effects of drug and alcohol addiction show up inside your daily life in terms of behavior and the choices you make. As "getting high" takes on increasing importance, other important life areas start to suffer.
Life areas commonly affected by substance addictions include:
- Relationships
- Career
- Finances
- Psychological well-being
- Physical health
- Noncriminal behavior vs. criminal behavior, such as DUIs
With long-term substance abuse, a person's lifestyle stands to see considerable, ongoing decline as drugs and alcohol take on greater importance in his or her daily life.
Treatment for Drug Addiction
Detox Treatment
Detox treatment provides you with the supports needed to stop abusing drugs or alcohol. These supports typically take the form of:
- Round-the-clock care and monitoring
- Counseling
- Support groups
- Medication therapies for relieving withdrawal intensity, such as methadone and Antabuse (as needed)
While not everyone who enters recovery will require an in-house detox program, those with long histories of substance abuse or chronic users will most definitely require some form of professional detox treatment help.
Call our helpline at 800-654-0987 if you have questions about detox treatment program options.
Inpatient/Residential Treatment
Long-term drug and alcohol addictions often leave addicts in poor physical health, with many also struggling with severe psychological disorders. Both inpatient and residential treatment programs operate as live-in treatment environments so a person lives at the treatment facility for the duration of the program.
For people affected by the most severe forms of addictions, addiction recovery should begin with inpatient treatment care. Inpatient programs provide ongoing medical, psychological and addiction treatment.
According to the New York State Office of Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Services, the overall goal in inpatient treatment works to stabilize your condition and provide you with a solid foundation in the recovery process. Inpatient programs can run anywhere from two weeks to three months long depending on the severity of the addiction problem.
If you're only dealing with an addiction problem, residential treatment programs help you work through the underlying issues that drive addiction while helping you develop healthy coping behaviors for managing daily life stressors. Residential programs can run anywhere from 30 days to six months in duration.
APS Health Insurance Coverage for Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Outpatient Treatment
If you're at the early stages of drug and alcohol addiction and still have work and/or family obligations to meet, an outpatient treatment program offers the type of flexibility you'll need. In effect, residential and outpatient programs offer the same types of services only you don't have to live at the facility with outpatient treatment.
Services offered may include:
- Drug education and counseling
- Individual psychotherapy
- Group therapy
- Family-based therapy as needed
- Support groups
These types of interventions help you replace the destructive thinking and behaviors that drive substance abuse with a mindset that can support a drug-free lifestyle.
Sober Living Programs
For people coming off severe drug and alcohol addiction, going from a treatment program to regular, everyday life can be risky in terms of the pressures and temptations that daily life brings. Sober living programs act as a bridge between the treatment program environment and going back home.
According to the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, sober living programs operate as semi-independent, living environments. Residents carry out the affairs of everyday life, such as holding down a job, paying rent and taking care of the home only they have a built-in support system in place that can help them when temptations to use run high.
Finding a Treatment Program
If you're considering entering drug and alcohol addiction treatment, there are plenty of options from which to choose. More than anything else, it's important to ensure you choose the type of program that can best address your specific treatment needs.
We can help you find a program that's right for you. Call our toll-free helpline at 800-654-0987 to speak with one of our addiction specialists.

I fired a AR15 for the first time yesterday, also first time using optics
So, yesterday evening I participated in a AR15 match held at a local range. I don't own a AR15 and hadn't fired one before, so I rented one from the range. It was the first time I'd ever operated a AR15, but I mostly knew where all the controls were because of playing video games, especially America's Army. (I knew how to use the forward assist from playing that game, even though I didn't use it at all.) That AR had a red dot sight mounted on it so it was also my first time in my life using optics. Some of the courses of fire were shot in the dark so it was also my first time ever attempting to shoot in the dark. On the whole I had a great time. The people were friendly and the organizers were trying really hard.
Now I think I understand why people shell out so much money for AR15s in spite of the fact that they apparently fail a lot under ideal indoor conditions.
(My rental didn't fail, but two other guys' did, and actually stopped them from being able to complete the course of fire, which in my mind seems pretty atrocious in the context of an event that takes place indoors and that only 30 or so rounds had been fired at the time of those failures.)
As long as it isn't failing, the AR 15 makes shooting feel amost too easy. It's lightweight, so comfortable to use with the adjustable stock, and feels accurate like a magic wand. Even with a shorter M4 style barrel the recoil is soft like a kitten. When I fire my AK47 or my Mosin Nagant it leaves a distinct bruise mark on my chest. Part of the experience of operating them is to have the pain not affect you while you work on your speed and accuracy. In that way it's a lot like thai kicking a heavy bag or contact sparring with a partner. When I use my Mini 14 it's soft and smooth but it's also very heavy and shooting it for an extended period of time feels like an upper body workout; your shooting becomes more athletic because you're lifting and holding up a heavier weight. But that AR 15 could probably be operated by a skinny 8 year old girl. To me it almost feels like cheating to use it. Using the AR 15 it feels like I just magically hit everything I aimed at no matter how small, no matter if I was moving or had bad posture. I honestly thought I had done worse than I really did in reality when I went up to check my targets.
Even after that experience, though, I still don't want to go out and buy an AR. Honestly I don't really feel worthy of one. I feel like AR 15 is so sensitive to oil and maintenance that I wouldn't be capable of keeping it running, given that it can take me hours to field strip and clean just a pistol, get the barrel totally clean, try and remove all the black from all visible surfaces, etc. I also feel like I must first master the AK or mini 14 before I can start using a AR, or else I would run the risk of being yet another fool with expensive equipment but no advanced skills and non-beefy shoulder muscles.
I did think the red dot optics were a total waste of money, though. The configuration of the rifle was such that I could use the red dot and the iron sights at the same time. The red dot was fine to use and was in the middle of your optics if your head was in the perfect position and the iron sights were already perfectly lined up, in which case you didn't need the red dot. If you were trying to look through the optics while walking or in a weird position the red dot would be bouncing around somewhere off to the side and totally unhelpful, and you'd have to use the irons anyway. The only time the red dot was remotely helpful and better than the irons was for shooting in the dark. But I felt like at least half the time the red dot was too difficult to use and that iron sights were easier and faster to use instead.
All in all I had a very good first experience with the AR. I didn't have the chance to familiarize myself with it or handle it before the match. I just jumped in and operated it using the animations I saw in simulationistic video games like America's Army or the Infiltration Mod for Unreal Tournament. But that's all I needed to hit the targets.Lone Wolf McQuade Final Fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmrDe_mYUXg

what brands were the rifles that went down? what part failed on the rifle? my first guess would be the extractor. I won't go into the RDS issue you were having. I will tell you based on what you have said you had a 1/2 co-witness setup on that AR. most people do better with a 1/3 co-witness. I will tell you there are a few AR-15's that have been T&E'ed that have ovoer 20,000 rounds threw them and have only had extractors and o-rings replaced and only more gun oil added to them(specific gun oil*).
3/27/2010 1:52am, #4
I like AR15's, but then again maybe that's just because I was trained on them. I picked one up for the first time in years and still managed to acquit myself in a passable manner.
In Marine Corps boot camp and the subsequent qualification we shot open sights. So that is what I am familiar with. My buddy's gun had laser optics, I can't remember what type, but I do recall putting a few rounds through the same hole on the target at 100yds when using it.

Don't believe the "AR's fail all the time" hype.
Let me guess..you own an AK?

I'm a big fan of the AR15 and varients, I wish we (UK) used that family of systems.
I've only managed to fire these sorts of weapons when working with US troops and I've always been impressed, the weight 'issue' is a massive plus-point in my book, the lighter it is the better really considering all the other Ops-based patrol kit carried and, given the high level of customisation which can be done with the rifle, you have a tricked-out gat and it still doesn't pull your fucking arms off in the standing aim.

In advance, I'm clearly not a rifle expert. (Ex-Army Reservist that bought an AR last month and have fired < 1k rounds throught it.) However, I believe red-dot sights offer several distinct tactical advantages. Specifically, target acquistition is quicker since you don't need to line up the iron sights. In addition, the red-dot allows you to shoot with both eyes open.
That said, I'm currently looking for a 3X scope to evaluate which I prefer..
3/27/2010 11:14am, #10
Anyone can shoot with both eyes open if they have same dominant eye and position.
It takes practice. Try squinting.
Still - the red dot does make for quick target acquisition.Carter Hargrave's Jeet Can't Do

ACORN controversy: Voter fraud or mudslinging?
Associated Press | 10/22/2008, 4:54 a.m.
Accusations of stolen votes have a long history in presidential elections. In the 2000 recount debacle, Republicans claimed illegal ballots were cast. Democrats contended that legal ballots were thrown out. In 2004, when Ohio gave the presidency to George W. Bush, Democrats charged that long lines and malfunctioning machines in that state led to an inaccurate count.
But in this contest, involving the first African American in American history with a real chance at becoming president, the vitriol is particularly pointed.
"This is all just one big head-fake," said Tova Wang of the government watchdog group Common Cause. "What silliness this is, at this point. It's all about creating this perception that there is a tremendous problem with voter fraud in this country, and it's not true."
During a campaign appearance last Friday, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin repeated McCain's recent claims that Obama has close ties to ACORN.
"You deserve to know," Palin told thousands in a park north of Cincinnati. "This group needs to learn that you here in Ohio won't let them turn the Buckeye State into the ACORN State."
Obama helped represent ACORN in a successful 1995 suit against the state of Illinois, which forced enactment of the so-called motor-voter law, making it easier for people to register vote. Obama said last week that he had "nothing to do with" ACORN's massive voter registration drive.
ACORN spokesman Brian Kettering retaliated against the Republican charges last week in a series of conference calls and interviews.
"What we're seeing is the manufacture of a crisis, and attempts to smear Sen. Obama with it," Kettering said. "It gives you an excuse should you lose or if there's a contested outcome of the election."
Voter fraud is rare in the United States, according to a 2007 report by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law. Based on reviews of voter fraud claims at the federal and state level, the center's report asserted most problems were caused by things like technological glitches, clerical errors or mistakes made by voters and by election officials.
"It is more likely that an individual will be struck by lightning than he will impersonate another voter at the polls," the report said.
Alex Keyssar, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, calls the current controversy "chapter 22 in a drama that's been going on awhile. The pattern is that nothing much ever comes from this. There have been no known cases of people voting fraudulently."
"What we've seen," Keyssar said, "is sloppiness and someone's idea of a stupid joke, like registering as Donald Duck."
ACORN officials have repeatedly claimed that their own quality control workers were the first to discover problematic ballots. In every state investigating bad registrations, ACORN tipped off local officials to bogus or incomplete cards, spokesman Kettering said.
Many states require that all registrations be submitted to local voting officials so that election directors are in charge of vetting problem ballots, not the groups collecting them.

Little crate changed the fate of the clementine
Published 1:00 am, Wednesday, January 18, 2006
These days the families who have grown citrus in this clay-rich soil since the Middle Ages are exporting clementines in a little wooden crate that is transforming the way Americans eat fruit.
"It's a happy story," Bartolome Calfan , 62, said as he picked clementines in the scorching sun from trees rooted in the same earth that his father and grandfather worked before him.
"Before 'the little box' we could only sell these around Christmas time, and only in smaller countries, like France. Now we pick clementines from October through March, and almost all of it for Canada and the United States."
Nearly 180 million pounds of clementines entered the U.S. in 2005, with the majority coming from this area near the port of Valencia.
Yet only 10 years ago, few Americans had ever heard of, much less tasted, this smallest and sweetest of the mandarin oranges.
Even five years ago, most clementines were sold during the six-week holiday season stretching from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day. Now that season lasts for five months, from Halloween until April Fool's Day, and more than 200,000 acres of Spanish farmland has been converted from orange and lemon cultivation to clementines to meet the steadily growing demand.
Clementines have been available in Europe for many years, but the market for them in the United States didn't take off until a devastating freeze in Florida in 1989 made domestic oranges scarce and expensive. A lot of citrus fruit was imported from Europe then, and clementines started to catch on.
Seedless, juicy and easy to peel, they are especially popular with children. And as their availability increases, the clementine is moving out of the lunchbox and onto restaurant menus and dining-room tables, as an ingredient in chicken, fish or rice dishes and green salads, as well as desserts.
But that alone does not account for their rising sales.
Clementines are the only fruit that retailers sell primarily in bulk - shipped and sold in miniature balsam-wood crates covered with orange plastic netting. This sets them apart from other fruits and guarantees that the customer will buy from 28 to 35 clementines at one time.
That's a far larger quantity and a far greater price than customers will usually devote to produce purchases. The average retail price of a 5-pound crate of clementines ranges from $4.99 to $11.99.
The loose-skinned fruit, a cousin of the tangerine, has
been around since 1900, when
a Catholic priest named Clement Rodier grew the first natural hybrid in his garden in Algeria by crossing a Chinese mandarin orange with a sweet orange.
But it never captured the U.S. fancy until 1990, when someone came up with the idea of packaging the tiny globes in gift boxes.
That honor is claimed by Javier Arnal , 44, whose family has been exporting citrus from Nules for more than two centuries.
As North American marketing director for Nulexport, a growers' cooperative of 700 small farms, Arnal was looking for a way to break into the U.S. market without going into direct competition with domestic producers.
"There is no way we could top the price-quality ratio of the oranges, lemons and grapefruits you grow in Florida and California," Arnal said. "We chose to export clementines because they are a sweeter, cheaper and seedless alternative to your tangerine."
The problem was that U.S. supermarket chains were not eager to add another product line to their struggling produce sections. Citrus was typically shipped in 25-pound bags and sold loose, at a low profit margin.
Customers would buy a few pieces at a time from the mounds of orange or yellow-colored fruit in the store, while significant quantities rotted on the shelf, fell off the display, or walked out of the store.
Arnal noticed that clementines flew off the shelves in France
and Germany during the month of December, when fruit of identical size and color was sold in
5-pound boxes tied with gift bows.
"It made for a very attractive presentation," he said, "and I got to wondering, what would happen if we did that year-round?"
What happened is that sales took off, other growers followed Nulexport's example, and a new fruit craze was born.
While most clementines are eaten plain or in fruit salads, they can also be served in more creative ways. The following four recipes demonstrate the fruit's versatility as an ingredient in dishes that range from sweet to spicy, and from simple to complex. Clementine cake 4 to 5 unpeeled clementines (about 1 pound total weight)
6 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2-1/3 cups ground almonds
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1. Put the unpeeled clementines in a pot with cold water to cover, bring to the boil, and cook for 2 hours.
2. Drain and, when cool, cut each clementine in half and remove the seeds. Finely chop skins, pith and fruit in the food processor or by hand.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter and line an 8-inch spring form pan.
4. Beat the eggs. Add the sugar, almonds and baking powder. Mix well by hand, adding the chopped clementines. Pour into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for an hour, when a skewer will come out clean. (You'll probably have to cover the cake with foil after about 40 minutes to prevent the top from burning.)
6. Place pan on a rack to cool. When the cake is cold, take it out of the pan.
- from "How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles
of Good Food" by Nigella Lawson (Wiley, 2002, $35)
NOTE: Lawson thinks the cake tastes even better when it has sat a day. Clementine marmalade
2 cups thin strips of clementine peel
4 cups cold water
Pulp and juice of 8 to 10 clemetines
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 cups boiling water
3 cups sugar 1. In a heavy saucepan, combine clementine peel and cold water. Bring to a simmer, covered, over moderate heat; continue to simmer until peel is tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Drain thoroughly. Remove seeds and white membrane from peeled fruit; dice fruit.
3. Combine cooked peel, diced fruit, lemon juice and boiling water. (Variation: Reduce boiling water to 1-1/2 cups and add 1/2 cup brandy with the boiling water.)
4. Add sugar and blend thoroughly. Quickly bring to a boil and cook until mixture is thick and reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 20 minutes.
5. Remove from heat, skim off foam, and ladle into hot sterilized half-pint jars, filling to within 1/2-inch from top. Seal and process in a boiling water bath (see Note) for 5 minutes.
6. Remove jars immediately when processing time is over, tighten seals if necessary, and set upright on a wire rack, a few inches apart, to cool.
NOTE: For the boiling water bath, adjust jar covers according to manufacturer's instructions. Place filled jars on a rack in a kettle containing boiling water to a depth of 1 to 2 inches over tops of glass jars. (Do not pour boiling water directly over tops of glass jars).
Cover the kettle and begin to count processing time. Add additional boiling water, if necessary, to keep jars covered.

1-1/2 teaspoons allspice
1-1/2 teaspoons coriander seed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 striped bass fillets (you may substitute red snapper, sea bass or other firm-fleshed
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 medium-size tomatoes
1 medium onion, peeled
2 garlic cloves, chopped
Juice of 8 clementines (you may substitute freshly squeezed
Ðjuice of 6 oranges)
Half fresh or dried habanero chili (you may substitute
Ð1 teaspoon habanero sauce
or more to taste)
2 cups chicken stock, preferably
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons lard, or olive oil For relish:
6 clementines, peeled
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1. To prepare the fish: Place the whole spices in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan often, until the aroma is released, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly and grind in a coffee or spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
2. Sprinkle the fish filets with the spices and let sit in the refrigerator until ready to use.
3. Coat tomatoes and onion with the olive oil, place on a baking sheet or in an ovenproof baking dish, and roast in a 450-degree oven until blackened and blistered all over. (The tomato will take about 10 to 12 minutes, and the onion about 20.)
4. Place tomatoes in a bowl to catch the juices, and let rest until cool enough to handle; peel.
5. If using a dried habanero chili, soak in hot water for 10 minutes before using. Wearing gloves, remove the seeds from chili and place chili in a blender with the tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, juice and chicken stock.
6. Heat 2 tablespoons lard or oil until rippling in a heavy, non-reactive, medium-size saucepan or Dutch oven.Add the sauce. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes or until slightly reduced and small craters form on the top. Set aside.
7. To prepare relish: Using a sharp, small knife, remove the pith and skin from the clementines. Cut out the segments and place in a small bowl. Combine with the cilantro and salt and let rest for a few minutes.
8. Grill, pan-fry or broil the fish. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Serve fish on top of a generous amount of sauce. Top with the relish, draining the liquid with a slotted spoon.

In a sense, Norway is home to one of the world's most environmentally- conscious populations. 98-99 percent of Norway's domestic energy comes from hydro-electric plants. According to The Economist, in 1991, Norway became one of the first countries to implement a carbon tax. Also, it was one of the first countries to capture and store carbon underground.
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, and his center-left coalition, have also announced that Norway will become carbon neutral by 2030, and the government has continue to actively push for a new, more stringent post-Kyoto global climate change treaty.
However, for all of its clean energy investments at home, Norway is still an enormous polluter. According to The Economist, Norway spews out more carbon emissions on a per capita basis than any other country in Europe. Also, since implementing the carbon tax in 1991, emissions have risen 15 percent. As the world's third biggest exporter of oil, and fourth largest exporter of natural gas, it is also exporting damage to the environment on a massive scale.
Norway benefits enormously from the export of these fuels, and oil is one reason why it has one of the highest per capita incomes globally (USD 100,000 GDP per capita). Norway's government estimates that 2008 revenue from the petroleum sector was 413 billion kroner. Its oil-revenue fund is one of the world's biggest at 2.1 trillion kroner.
Critics argue that Norway, while doing much to become a carbon-neutral state, can really only accomplish this goal if it takes into account the carbon emissions from its energy exports. Should Norway cut back on exporting oil and natural gas, in favor of exporting cleaner hydro-electric or wind power? Before Norway can move towards full clean energy exports, does it have a responsibility to use its enormous energy trust fund to pay for the off-sets of its global energy exports? Will this ever happen?

The Swiss international stated that he will like to move to England in search of better playing opportunities
Bayern Munich midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri has openly accepted the fact that he is thinking of joining Premier League next season. The 22 year old midfielder also said that he would like to join a club who will play in the Champions League, clearly pointing out a transfer to Anfield. According to starsport Liverpool also reacted quickly to his statement by offering 15 million pound for his transfer.
A player with quick pace and attacking play, Shaqiri moved from FC Basel to Bayern Munich in 2012, but because of the power-packed midfield of Bayern- comprising the likes of Robben, Muller, Ribery, Schweinsteiger- he managed to pull off only 43 appearances for the Bavarian giants since his arrival. His number of match starts shrunk down to 16 this season and because of such lack of opportunities at the start, He hasn't been able to make any strong impact with his gameplay, reducing him to a 'regular-substitute' in the Bayern side.
Speaking to 20 Minuten, Shaqiri said "It's clear that I cannot continue like this. If nothing changes, I will have to make some changes myself.
"I want to play in the important games as well and not just in the Bundesliga. I don't want to go through another year like this" expressing his eagerness to perform well in crucial games.
"I only want to play for a major club. The Champions League is important to me. We will see what happens. England would be an option. If I were to leave Bayern, it will be for a foreign club. But it will have to be a club challenging for the title." clearly hinting at a move to Liverpool.
Shaqiri who is at a crossroads in his career, knows that he will have to make some tough decision in order to build his career, The Swiss had earlier turned down Manchester United's offer by saying that he wants to play with a club featuring in Champions League.and Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers, who is looking to cast in 'multi functional' players to his side, will certainly want to cash in on this opportunity.
Liverpool, who finished 2nd in the Premier League table are looking to consolidate their squad this season and along with Shaqiri the Reds are also making a move for Southampton's Adam Lallana, Emre Can of Bayer Leverkusen and Sevilla full-back Alberto Moreno.

I have used it for 20 years, it costs a bit more than other oils but you get what you pay for with this. The only problem I have with this product is its info, nowhere on the packaging does it tell you if its a mineral...semi...or full synthetic, the oil code from your bike manufacturer does not tell you either cos the oil code just tells you whether it is the correct grade of oil, not its base blend.

Amazing Maria (2f Mastercraftsman-Messias Da Silva, by Tale Of The Cat) justified her connections' view of her innate ability when she ran away with a maiden at Glorious Goodwood on Thursday by six lengths.
"Nice filly. Big. Scope," said trainer Ed Dunlop succinctly afterwards.
The daughter of Mastercraftsman, home-bred by owner Sir Robert Ogden, now has bigger targets on the horizon, with the G1 Fillies' Mile at her local track Newmarket her end-of-season objective.
"It's strange that one of her ability has taken three races to win," said Dunlop. "But I blame myself for Newbury last time. She'd showed speed at home and I thought we'd get away with six furlongs, and we didn't.
"When you know they're good, and they get beat a couple of times you start to lose a bit of confidence but now we can see we were right about her."
Frankie Dettori was in the saddle aboard the Mastercraftsman filly and he was equally enthusiastic about her. "We had high hopes for her in the spring and despite her not having won I was confident today. She's shown what she's capable of and she's a very nice filly with a real future," said Dettori.
Amazing Maria was winning five days after the Richard Hannon-trained Expert (2c Mastercraftsman-Raphimix, by Linamix) ran out a smart winner of a good Newmarket maiden to bring more success for Mastercraftsman.

No sad little Charlie Brown-esque trees here: Jennifer Aniston went all out when it came time to deck her halls for the holidays.
The A-lister, 43, selected a 10-foot Noble Fir Premium tree to add some Christmas spirit to a bash she threw over the weekend, a source at Beverly Hills' Mr. Greentrees tells Us Weekly.
"She likes [her trees] really full and fluffy!" the store source explains of Aniston's colossal conifer, which was delivered last week.
A number of Aniston and fiance Justin Theroux's famous friends were photographed heading towards the Friends alum's home Sunday evening — most likely to attend her get-together (and admire that massive evergreen!)
X17 spotted Demi Moore, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi, Tobey Maguire and Ben Stiller pulling up to the massive mansion the We're the Millers star and Theroux, 41, share.
Despite the site's report that Aniston's pals were actually on hand to fete her engagement (Theroux popped the question back in August), a source tells Us the star was merely celebrating the start of the holiday season by hosting her "annual tree trimming party."

A. Geographic Edition Properties for Availability Suite
This section provides an overview of Availability Suite resource groups.
A device group that is controlled by the Availability Suite feature can be added to a protection group. The Geographic Edition software creates a lightweight resource group for each device group.
Note - Each device group controlled by the Availability Suite feature must exist on both partner clusters and must have the same name on both.
The name of a lightweight resource group has the following format:
For example, a device group named avsdg that is controlled by the Availability Suite feature has a lightweight resource group named avsdg-stor-rg.
The lightweight resource group collocates the logical host and the device group, a requirement of data replication with the Availability Suite remote mirror feature.
Each lightweight resource group contains two resources:
A logical hostname resource for the local logical host that is used for replication of the device group. One logical hostname resource is required for each cluster for each device group that will be replicated by Availability Suite. Thus if you have two clusters and three device groups that will be replicated, you will need six logical hostnames, three on the local area network of each cluster. The name of this resource has the following format:
An HAStoragePlus resource for controlling the location of the device group with the lightweight resource group. The name of this resource has the format AVSdevicegroupname-stor.
Note - Do not directly update a lightweight resource group or its resources or add them directly to a protection group. Doing so might lead to a failure in Geographic Edition operations.
For more information about lightweight resource groups, see the Availability Suite documentation on the Oracle Technology Network.
When a device group that is controlled by the Availability Suite feature is added to a protection group, the Geographic Edition software creates a special replication resource for that device group in the replication resource group. By monitoring these replication resource groups, the Geographic Edition software monitors the overall status of replication. One replication resource group with one replication resource is created for each protection group.
The name of the replication resource group has the following format:
The replication resource in the replication resource group monitors the replication status of the device group on the local cluster, which is reported by the Availability Suite remote mirror feature.
The name of a replication resource has the following format:
Note - Do not directly update a replication resource group or its resources or add them directly to a protection group. Doing so might lead to a failure in Geographic Edition operations.
During an outage, when a secondary replicated volume is unavailable, the Availability Suite feature logs changes made to the primary volume. Once replication is restarted the secondary volume is resynchronized with the primary volume.
A failure during the resynchronization might leave the secondary volume in an inconsistent state, which can result in file system corruption of that volume. To avoid this, you can configure the Geographic Edition software to automatically create a compact dependent shadow volume of a secondary replicated volume immediately prior to resynchronization. This is a "fallback snapshot" of the secondary volume, from which the secondary volume can be reconstructed in case there is a resynchronization failure.
If you decide to configure fallback snapshots of your replicated volumes, you will require two additional volumes on each cluster for each replicated volume, as described in Availability Suite Volume Sets. You can enable fallback snapshots automatically, as described in Automatically Enabling Fallback Snapshots, when you first add a device group to a protection group. You can also enable fallback snapshots manually at any time, as described in Manually Enabling Fallback Snapshots. It is much easier to enable fallback snapshots automatically, so if possible, set up fallback snapshots for the volumes in a device group when you first configure it and add it to a protection group.
Once a fallback snapshot is enabled, the Geographic Edition software automatically activates the snapshot when the cluster hosting an Availability Suite replicated volume is switched to secondary mode, and deactivates it when the cluster is switched to primary.
