I'ts been 12 years clean. I came to the clinic, about to be homeless, not caring about myself or anything. I had no connection with my son, my mom and dad, and I had nobody to rely on because my wife Katy was addicted also, and she wasn't aloud to see our son, or her own mother. She got on the clinic first, then a month later I got on. The first week I got on this clinic, I got my job, my drivers license, and a car....THE FIRST WEEK!!!!!! This clinic saved our lives and restored our family to a NORMAL FUNCTIONING LIFE. It's not that hard to be on this clinic, and it won't take up a lot of your time. I'm a working client and still have time to do everything necessary to remain compliant. WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY!!!! We both feel great! THANK YOU C.A.A.A. I would have been dead.
This is a methadone clinic. If you are ready to completely change everything about yourself, stop using herion, opiates and all other drugs. Methadone can truly save your life!! Get sober at this sober living methadone clinic.
I've been a client at CAAA for almost 3 years, Sober for 2years and 3 months, and I can honestly say the program has changed my life! I made an account so I can clear up some bad reviews while staying somewhat anonymous. Now do yourself a favor. Take these reviews with a grain of salt. After all, we are addicts, going through the toughest times of our lives, and some may not like being told what to do. Check out the positive reviews like Kelly's, Roxanne's, and Angela's. They are not lying to you. Sure at first while you are getting off street and pharmaceutical drugs, you may not want to be there, you may not want to go to groups, you may not want to talk to the counselors, and the program is a real pain to deal with! But it gets better and Much eaiser within weeks. From my observation this is where most clients have the hardest times and this is where most of your negative reviews are coming from. Once again, from observation many clients don't know how to properly express their feelings in a professional manner and end up flipping out on a poor counselor or security guard. Then come here to write a bad review. Once again, I've been clean now for over 2 years, have take homes, only go once a week for my group meeting (the group is awesome) and once a month to my counselor. It's very simple, if you do what you're told, attend your meetings, fulfill your obligations, and be a good client. You WILL NOT be put on "stop" and you will not spend more than an hour the once a week. JUST DO WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO!!!! With that said, CAAA does have their own internal issues and my road to recovery did not go with out any bumps. But you know what, instead of flipping out on a security guard, I brought the issue to the proper channels and I even met with the CEO on more than one occasion whom is the nicest human being I think I've ever met. The 2 higher ups you take your issues to are big on clients advocating for themselves and will gladly sit down with you. A lot of times, they have no idea about the issues happening on "floor" and are glad to hear about them to implement change. NEW CLIENTS, here are a few helpful tips I wish I would have know before becoming a client. 1. Do what you are told, I can't express this enough. It'll ensure you have a plesant experience at CAAA 2. Find a group you like and speak your mind. Everyone there has similar stories and are going through the same pains. They are not there to judge you but will instead help you. Preferably join a group with Mr. Watkins as the counselor. He is an amazing man who cares about you, and will give you the best advice and knowledge for proper recovery. 3. Make appointments for everything. Don't wait to be put on "stop" or just show up and ask to see the Dr or a counselor. You will be waiting a long time. If you make an appointment, you come first. 4. There is a newer group\individual counselor to avoid especially at the beginning of your sobriety. I won't name them, but you will know who they are because they will mention their background in prison counseling to you numerous times a day. They don't understand that you're not a prisoner and you are a client\human being with rights. The person is highly unprofessional, has no personal ethics, and simply lacks integrity. Numerous other clients will tell you the same thing. Simply ask the proper channel to switch your group or ask for a new individual counselor. 5. Sobriety and recovery is not easy, and it's tough transitioning to a new environment while getting sober. Just hang in there, I promise it gets easier with time. Once you figure out the ropes at CAAA your life will change for the best and you can start living a normal life while recovering in the most efficient manner possible. From everyone to Nursing, group counselors, individual counselors, security, managers, and the ceo, thank you for saving my life and the lives of many others the best you can!
It saved my life!! I continue getting the help I have needed my whole life. My counselor and her supervisor care about me, I really believe that deep in my heart. Matter of fact my counselor of (4+) four plus years told me she loved me one session, it felt so good to hear that from her!!! I have no family or friends left who did love and care about me.
This place Saved My Life. I recommend it to Anyone whos ready for change.
The staff I met were very nice, welcoming & helpful!
I hate this place, while helping people with opiate addictions, they are in no hurry to help detox these individuals after years and years of dosing them, while increasing people's doses.
Methadone clinic, one of only two in Cleveland. Generally good to clients, but they still carry on the stigma against addicts without even noticing it. There is currently no wait list (2/12/18) but you must have insurance. Maximum daily self pay is $14.00 per day for those without insurance.
This organization is extremely helpful for people with addiction issues. This is a methadone clinic. Methadone is used to help people get off of heroin and opioids. The methadone build up in one's body and blocks the receptors from feeling any Euphoria from these drugs. If some used while on this methadone program they wouldn't be able to get high at all so it works! This program savedy life! I'm very grateful that this place exists in Cleveland, OH!!!
Methadone clinic, one of only two in Cleveland. Generally good to clients, but they still carry on the stigma against addicts without even noticing it.
They help save people's lives.
L Nice place..,....
I guest dosed here from Phoenix.. I was able to do so without any major issues. $25 a day, although they did not honor my clinics take home priveleges, and made me come in to dose each day. The staff seemed pretty friendly and tried to accommodate.
It's a place where people can go to get help for their problems and situations
This place has changed my life!! Definately made the right decision to come to this place!

Wow. The composer of the themes of two of the most beloved TV Series of all time - The Addams Family and Green Acres - has passed away at the age of 93.
Vic Mizzy was actually a fairly prolific film and TV composer and songwriter, but the man who wrote the theme song for the finest adaptation of Kafka to the small screen would rank right up there whether or not he had ever penned another theme.
The trials and tribulations of Oliver Wendell Douglas on his farm in the greater Hooterville area were probably the finest moments of television since Ernie Kovacs went off the air. Yes, it was that great.
Vic Mizzy, dead at 93. He will be missed, but his music lives on.

Shatter denies suggestion of political interference in courts system
Minister defends State treatment of judiciary after comments by High Court judge
It could do "great damage" to the State internationally if a message was given out that there was " any political interference in the determination of court proceedings by our courts," Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said. Photograph: Cyril Byrne / THE IRISH TIMES
It could do "great damage" to the State internationally if a message was given out that there was " any political interference in the determination of court proceedings" , Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has said.
Mr Shatter was speaking this morning after High Court judge Mr Justice Peter Kelly reportedly accused the Government of attacking the independence of the judiciary.
It was a "matter of some considerable seriousness", he said reiterating that "no question mark hangs over the independence of our judiciary or court system" and "rule of law fully applies in this State".
Mr Shatter was sure Mr Justice Kelly "didn't intend to suggest that the Government in any way interferes with the independence of the court" or anything other that that "all of his colleagues" independently and properly determine cases, he told RTÉ Radio this morning.
The Sunday Business Post reported yesterday that Mr Justice Kelly told a gathering of business leaders last week the Government's handling of a range of issues, including judges' pay and the creation of new courts presided over by new types of judges, also carried risks for the country's reputation. Mr Justice Kelly was speaking in his capacity as president of the Association of Judges in Ireland, the report added.
This morning, Mr Shatter said he did not know "what motivated that type of language" but said people can, on occaision, "say things that have unintended consequences and implications".
Mr Shatter said it was "very important" that "each organ of the State shows respect to each other."
It was "appropriate" for judges to raise law reform issues, he said. "I think it is unfortunate that any message should be given that our courts are anything other than independent,"he said.
On the issue of pay reductions for judges, he said it was "unfortunate" if this "constitutionally sanctioned" pay cut was "presented as an attack on judicial independence" because there was a referendum on the issue.
Mr Shatter said the Government had a "reform agenda" which some people are "a little but uncomfortable with...or perhaps it's misunderstood".
On the appointment new judges in the planned court of appeal for insolvency, Mr Shatter said this would be confined initally to country registrars rather than practising barristers and solicitors because there was a "need to contain public expenditure".
Fianna Fáil TDWillie O'Dea said that Mr Shatter appeared to turn it into "an argument about judge's pay" when the central point being made by the High Court judge was about more than that. "I think we are on the verge of a very serious constitutional issue here and the Minister has to climb down and engage with the judiciary," Mr O'Dea told RTÉ.

Both of the hemiblocks—left anterior and left posterior—are defined only in terms of axis. Thus, the reader learns that left anterior hemiblock is probably present if the axis is between minus 30 and minus 60 but almost certainly present if between minus 60 and minus 90. Similarly, "classic" left posterior hemiblock means an axis of plus 120 degrees or more. Nowhere is there a reference (in the 71 included) to Medrano's additional criteria of delayed activation of the cardiac muscle supplied by a given fascicle. The emphasis on the left anterosuperior and posteroinferior divisions is amply justified. Although the illustrations

We are ready for mapping! Next week we will kick things off with looking at maps online of Ohio, the United States and the world! It should be fun to locate various countries of interest to them, as well as some fun spots they may have visited. I will also show Google Maps and introduce directions. We are going to pretend that we need directions to Chicago to visit my sister. I will talk about personal experiences (getting lost-finally after 11 years knowing how to get there with my eyes closed..:) For a few days we will dig into directions, talking about the words we use (directional words like left, right, forward, backward). Then we will use those words to help us with new directional words like North, South, East, West (compass rose). We will give directions orally to partners and try to get around the school/room. Then we will start to write down our directions. Thursday, they will get with a partner and see if they can come up with the correct route to UDF. We will pull together whole group and come up with a class set of directions. And the fun part...we will use those directions on Friday to walk to UDF!! If they are super good, I'll buy them some prepackaged ice cream!

My activism turned political in 2003 and has never looked back. I have written letters and held signs. I have signed things and begged for signatures. I have worked phone banks and phoned representatives until their admins knew me by voice. I have donated time, money, energy… And I have marched. In rallies, in peaceful gatherings, in nearly silent moments filled with flickering candle light… and in angry loud protests where the thud of our feet on the pavement felt like it would split the earth.
In the last few weeks I have been privileged to march in Fresno multiple times; at the Women's March the day after DJT ascended to the presidency, at the coordinated events protesting the Muslin Ban, and at the Support Planned Parenthood march last week. In all cases I had people ask me what I felt the point was, why I was bothering.
I march because I want to use all my tools to fight injustice and I have a loud voice and healthy feet.
I march because my job is not reliant on a boss's political whims and I will not lose my job or my home due to my gender, my orientation, or my politics.
I march because I can and many cannot.
I march because my privilege demands to be used for good and not just to make my own life easier.
I march because gathering in groups of like-minded people is cathartic and inspiring.
I march because it motivates me and it motivates others.
I march because sometimes sheer volume makes a huge difference.
I march so that I can point to my blisters and sore throat and photos of funny or thought provoking signs and say "look, I was there, I was a part of that".
I march because our current President is temper tantrum throwing toddler who can't watch SNL without losing his mind and I know our marches are having an effect on him.
I march because I want my daughter to understand that changing the world is possible but to make it happen we have to show up.
And I saw new people, hesitant people. People who held no sign but held space with their very bodies; people who chanted softly and avoided eye contact but smiled to themselves as they headed toward their cars afterwards.
I saw children and people stooped with age. I saw healthy people and those too sick to stand or walk or breathe without assistance. I saw families and people walking alone, flitting from one clump to another. I saw all the colors of the racial rainbow and all the letters under the rainbow flag. I heard multiple languages. I saw community leaders and held hands with strangers.
That is why I march. Because no matter all the stuff we don't agree on or have in common… when we march we have decided to be in one place with one message and with one voice we chant into the sky. The sounds we make, the vibrations of our feet, and the siren song of the megaphones fill the air and echo in our hearts long after we have gone home. We are connected and we are community if only for a moment. We can make change for we are mighty and we cannot be ignored.
I march because it matters
And I will not stop.

"They'll Think It's Homemade" Vegan Chocolate Cake
Do you ever get home late on a holiday, a primarily dessert-centered holiday, and realize it's too late to bake anything? I guess these things happen on, say, a Thursday too… But anyway, last night I found a solution! Needing a Valentine's Day dessert in a hurry, I pulled out an Amy's Chocolate Cake I had picked up at the grocery store for dessert emergencies (hey, those happen a more than you'd think), made a simple powdered sugar and non-dairy milk glaze, and sliced up the strawberries I had in the fridge.
Have you ever tried Amy's Chocolate Cake? It's fantastic! At least we really like them. They're everything a chocolate cake should be, and I have to admit I like the smaller size of it because there isn't a giant cake left sitting around, needing to be eaten before it's sweet, moist chocolate cake-y goodness goes dry and stale. It's not a "pretty" cake straight out of the package, but with a little plating, it has flavor, texture, and aesthetics on it's side!
Oh, and there was "real food" too. But who really cares about real food on Valentine's Day? Let's be honest; it's not a day about love as much as it is a day about dessert! Okay, okay, maybe that's not true for everyone. I made a quick and simple penne with broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, pepitas, garlic, and marinara. I love pastas loaded with veggies!
Well, I'm going to wrap this up since I really want to make a vegan cheesecake yet tonight. If you have an amazing vegan cheesecake recipe, please share the link below! I'm always on the hunt for the best of the best recipes!
Like I Eat Trees on Facebook for the newest IET posts, photos, and more in your news feed!
Beautiful photos! I totally forgot that Amy's made cakes now… I have to admit that I have never been tempted to buy them because I love baking so much – but now you make me think that perhaps I WILL have a "dessert emergency" & should have one of these on hand just in case. 😀
I got one of the Amy's cakes on sale and it was delicious. I really like your "They'll Think It's Homemade" idea! Maybe a more frequent feature for your blog?
I love Jared's idea! What a great series that would be!
I didn't know Amy's made cakes. I was probably better off not knowing that 😉
That pasta dish looks good. I have not tried Amy's cakes yet. The price is what makes me not buy them since I can make one for cheaper. It is good to know they are tasty if I ever do have a dessert emergency.
Wow, for a simple pasta that bowl looks unbelievably good! That must be because of all the whole veggies in it 🙂
I had no idea Amy's made cake either, but I like their other products so I can imagine the cake was probably pretty good. For a great vegan no-bake cheesecake recipe, check out this video recipe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tANMPse3zVI
woah! Amy makes cakes? i had no idea! that is awesome! i love their products, so I am sure this cake will be great 😀

Dallas is experiencing phenomenal inner city growth. Neighborhoods like Oak Cliff, the Trinity River Corridor, Deep Ellum, Ross Avenue, and the Design District are seeing urban infill like never before, showing up in all scales and types.
These changes are remaking the city and opening up new opportunities for residents and businesses alike. But when we look at housing, retail, restaurants, office, and streetscapes, what are the traits that make for good infill and connectivity for these areas?

My New Self-Care Plan
I am learning to use my mindfulness breathing before my anxiety hits a high level, which has been a fascinating experiment. I do about fifteen minutes in the morning and spurts of three-five minutes throughout my day as a part of my routine. That is the other thing that I am getting back–a routine.

The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man. - G.K. Chesterton

Sam Harris Free Will Thought Experiment
Tooling around youtube I came along this video of a an exercise Sam Harris offered as a practical refutation of free will.
The exercise Harris advocates is essentially this: He asks you to think of a city, any city, in the world, without any constraints. Once you have done so, Harris claims that this choice, if anything, would be an example of the exercise of free will. He then proceeds to debunk the choice as free by arguing that it wasn't really free. I won't rehearse all the reasons he provides (the video is only about 6 minutes), but his arguments all boil down to showing that the choice must have had a cause, even if we are unaware of the cause. For instance, you may have chosen Paris as your city because it happened to bubble up out of your subconscious, and that bubbling was a function of the fact that you once travelled to Paris and have fond memories. The point is that we mistakenly think the choice was "free" because we think we chose it arbitrarily, when in actuality the cause was driven by psychological factors of which we were simply unaware.
Harris's exercise involves a typical misunderstanding of what is meant by "free will", or rather, what the classical philosophers meant by calling man free. They did not mean that human will is an uncaused caused, which is what Harris seems to think it must mean. That would simply be to mistake man for God, Who is the only possible uncaused cause.
Man's will is classically understood to be free not because it is uncaused, but because it can have rational causes rather than irrational ones. Specifically, man can rationally judge means and the relationship of means to ends, and choose a course of action based on that judgement. (This is what Plato meant by saying "the truth shall make you free.") It is in the exercise of rationally considered action that man's freedom is manifest, not in the allegedly arbitrary choice of a meaningless selection as in Harris's exercise. A classical philosopher would not dispute that the choice made by a person in Harris's exercise is not free - in that sense, Harris is not showing anything new. But they would point out that they never thought such a choice was free in a significant sense in any case.
To flesh these points out, consider the difference between a beaver building a dam and a man building a dam. The beaver builds a dam by instinct. When it hears the sound of running water, it attempts to stop the sound by piling sticks and mud on it - even in cases where it makes no sense to do so. (For example, playing the sound of running water beneath a concrete floor will cause beavers to pile mud and sticks over the sound on the dry concrete). The beaver builds the dam the same way every time, by piling up sticks and mud, and will keep building them the same way.
The beaver is not free in its dam building. It's not free when it builds the dam (the end), because it simply starts building a dam at the sound of running water, nor is it free in how it builds (the means), for it does it the same way every time by piling up mud and sticks.
Now consider man building a dam, for example Hoover Dam. Man did not build this dam because he happened to hear the sound of running water once and automatically started piling sticks on it. The dam was built after a long, rational consideration of ends that might be achieved with the dam - hydroelectricity and the recreational possibilities of Lake Mead among others. Once the end was selected, the means were then considered. The dam could be build out of a variety of materials and in a variety of places. Concrete for the material was selected and a particular spot on the Colorado river was chosen - and not because an engineer picked the location "freely" by just letting a location pop into his head, but as the result of a detailed investigation of hydrology and the anticipated consequences of various locations.
Eventually the construction began and the Hoover Dam was built and it stands as a monument to the freedom of man, which means the freedom to know the truth and to act according to it. It doesn't mean to act in some purely arbitrary manner. That is the degenerate freedom that has unfortunately become the vision of freedom of that has captured the imagination of modern man.
Know the truth and it shall make you free.

|← Management Process
|Organizational Behavior →
Garry Dessler, 2007 comments that managers must follow a three step process to improve the value of the performance appraisal system in their firms. The first step is to define the job clearly to the employees, subordinates and making them agree to the standards established for each job based on the job responsibilities, activities and duties. The next step is to appraise performance by comparing the actual performance of the employees with the standards established.
In this step, the author recommends several appraisal methods to the manager including the graphic rating scale method, alternation ranking method, paired comparison method, forced distribution method, critical incident method, MBO, computerized and web based performance appraisal systems. Garry Dessler, 2007 states that there are a lot of problems and issues that arise during the performance appraisal and the manager must conduct the performance appraisal in a transparent manner and handle the problems effectively to conduct the performance appraisal in a successful manner.
The final step in improving the value of the performance appraisal system is to conduct feedback sessions. The most popular feedback method among the corporate is the 360 degree appraisal (Randy L. Desimone, 2008). Firms also use a mixture of methods to appraise the performance to increase its value in the firm. Randy L. Desimone, 2008 discusses a performance appraisal case at General Electric (GE) and the success of the 360 degree feedback in the company.
In this method, employee ratings are collected from all the stake holders of the firm including the customers, suppliers, supervisors, peers, sub ordinates etc. Many firms accuse the method for involving more paper work. To rectify this problem, the method is simulated in the internet and web based 360 degree feedback as seen in visual 360 website is getting popular among the corporate and the managers to increase the value of the performance appraisal in their firms.

Jamie McGinn arbitration hearing with Avalanche set for July 25
[media-credit name="John Leyba, The Denver Post" align="alignright" width="275″][/media-credit]
Jamie McGinn, one of 16 NHL players to elect for arbitration, got a hearing date today from the NHL: July 25.
We covered McGinn's situation in a previous blog, which also has info. on the arbitration process itself.
Keep in mind: teams can, and often do, settle their "cases" with the player before it goes to arbitration. It's a process nobody likes. I talked to McGinn's agent on the phone the other day, and he had no comment on the state of talks with the team or anything else. The arbitration cases are usually set in Toronto, but I'm not positive where this particular case would be held just yet.
If McGinn goes to arbitration, he does so with the knowledge that the Avs have often gotten rid of those players not long afterward.

José Sobral de Almada Negreiros was a Portuguese artist. He was born in the colony of Portuguese São Tomé and Príncipe, the son of a Portuguese father, António Lobo de Almada Negreiros, and a Santomean mother, Elvira Freire Sobral. Besides literature and painting, Almada developed ballet choreographies, and worked on tapestry, engraving, murals, caricature, mosaic, azulejo and stained glass.
Life and Work
His mother died in 1896. In 1900 he enters in a jesuit boarding school in Campolide, Lisbon. After the October 1910 republican revolution this school is closed and Almada enters the Escola Internacional, also in Lisbon.
In 1913 he made his first individual exhibition, showing 90 drawings. In 1915, along with Fernando Pessoa and Mário de Sá-Carneiro, publishes poems and texts in the Orpheu artistic magazine, which would introduce modernist literature and art in Portugal. This same year Almada Negreiros writes the famous Manifesto Anti-Dantas e por extenso, a humorous attack against a more traditionalist and bourgeois older generation. In 1915 the artist also conceives the O Sonho da Rosa ballet.
In 1917, with the scope of introducing to the Portuguese public the Futuristic aesthetics, Almada Negreiros publishes, together with Santa-Rita Pintor, the Portugal Futurista magazine, writing the Ultimatum Futurista, às gerações portuguezas do século XX ("Futurist ultimatum to the Portuguese generations of the 20th century"). He promotes a conference, the Sessão Futurista ("Futurist Session"), where he appears wearing a flight suit.
Between the years 1918-20 Almada lives in Paris. To support himself, he works as a dancer and as a factory worker. In 1920 he returns to Lisbon. In 1925 he produces two paintings for one of the most famous cafés in Lisbon, A Brasileira. In 1927 he goes to Madrid where he writes in several Spanish publications like Cronica and La Farsa. He writes El Uno, tragédia de la Unidad.
Back in Portugal, in the following years his artistic production will be wide and prolific as he becomes a key artist in Portuguese modern art, influenced by Cubism and, mainly, by Futurism. His role, during António de Oliveira Salazar's authoritarian regime is however ambiguous, assuming both as an "aligned" artist (doing public mural paintings or propaganda posters) and a provocative critic of Portuguese society of the time.
In 1934 he married painter Sarah Afonso (May 13, 1899 – December 14, 1983). Re-settled for good in Portugal, he would continue in his role as "artistic agitator" within the oppressed society that was Portugal until the time of his death. In 1934 the couple had their only son, José Afonso de Almada Negreiros.
He was also, even if sparely, an actor and a dancer although that shows his compreehension that all forms of art are intimately linked.
Painting and visual arts
Almada Negreiros always called himself a futurist artist, inspired by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and other modern artists, however his style is wider, and its hardly defined into a category. Adding to this modern approach his works also reveals a decorative and arabesque richness and sometimes a geometrical abstraction. His public art is often political engaged as mural of "Gare Maritima de Alcantara" shows, however, many of his paintings and drawings show common people in daily affairs or attitudes usual in socialist art. His work as visual artist extends to tapestry, printmaking, theater and ballet scenography.
Novels and writings
An important part of his artistic production is literary. He wrote novels, poems, playwrights, essays and manifests that were, in his lifetime, published in books, magazines, newspapers or even low cost booklets and flyers. In his novels and playwrights there is a description of daily affair of people besides a sense of the absurd and non-sense that can be related (preceding them) with writers like Eugène Ionesco or Arthur Adamov. His literary work is highy evolved with his artistic view, often visual and "geometric" in his descriptions and backgrounds. His manifests were highly provocative, like "Manifesto Anti-Dantas", a humorous and aggressive text against Júlio Dantas, a major figure of arts and culture of Salazar's regime which stands as a banner against mediocrity and conformism. He also wrote essays on the theory of colours, the Portuguese antique painting, geometry and gave numerous conferences on cultural matters.

If you're after Norwich taxi insurance, you need to make sure that you've got the best cover possible so that you're prepared for all eventualities. That often means having plenty of added extras included in your policy, so here are a few situations where you might need those extras to make sure you've got everything you need from your taxi insurance Norwich.
• You're involved in an accident and your passengers are injured. In this scenario, legal and medical expenses are sure to be needed to cover any costs that could arise, so make sure your Norwich taxi insurance policy includes adequate cover.
• Your taxi needs major repairs so needs to be off the road. That's where replacement car cover comes in. Your taxi is your livelihood so you want to be back on the road as quickly as possible, and luckily a lot of Norwich taxi insurance companies will include replacement cars in their policies.
• You've broken down and need a pick up ASAP. You never want to hold up traffic at rush hour, particularly if you're somewhere central like the Forum, so having 24-hour breakdown assistance is vital.
• You're down Prince of Wales road at night and your windscreen gets damaged. Norwich has a thriving nightlife but that can often mean that things get rowdy, and if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time your windscreen could suffer the consequences. Make sure to have windscreen cover included to make sure it gets fixed as quickly as possible.
• You have to be off work for a while, perhaps through illness, injury or your cab being off the road. A lot of Norwich taxi insurance policies will include loss of earnings protection for such situations, making sure that you're not out of pocket.
These are just a few situations where you might need the added extras that you can often get with Norwich taxi insurance, so hopefully that's made you think enough to include them in your policy.

The University of Connecticut women's basketball team returned home on Wednesday afternoon after winning its second-straight national championship.
The team touched down at Bradley International Airport around 3:45 p.m. The back-to-back national champions were greeted by a small crowd of Uconn faithful who cheered as they walked off the plane.
The team was then escorted by police back to Storrs, where a new sign announcing their 2010 title win greeted them near exit 68 on I-84. A larger crowd of fans welcomed the team home with a thunderous applause and plenty of homemade signs and Husky memorabilia.
"This team is so talented. What's not to like about the Uconn women this year? You've got Maya Moore and Tina Charles, they're all very talented girls," said Jeff Walker, of Bloomfield.
Coach Geno Auriemma and Junior forward Maya Moore made remarks to the crowd, thanking them for their support and dedication. A short video highlighting the team throughout the year was also shown at the Gampel pep rally.
"We won two years in a row, but this year was different. This is a group where we've never been in a situation coming off a national championship. We had even more expectations and pressure and I'm so happy with the way we handled it and the way we responded, especially in the last game. We're enjoying it this year even more," said Maya Moore.
The Huskies rallied to beat Stanford, 53-47, Tuesday night in San Antonio for their second-straight undefeated season and national title.

One person is dead and two others are injured after a car crash in Schaumburg Monday morning.
It happened just before 11 a.m. Monday at Irving Park Road and Mitchell Boulevard.
Police say a passenger in a sedan was killed when the car was hit by a Chevy Tahoe, the Chicago Tribune reports. The two other people who were injured were the only other people in the vehicles. Their injuries are believed not to be life-threatening.
No other information bout the victims have been released.
The intersection will remain closed several hours for accident reconstruction investigation, according to Schaumburg Police Sgt. John Nebl.
The Chicago Tribune also reports that a motorcyclist was killed at the same intersection in June 2011 when a semi truck turned in front of his motorcycle.

In AIM Health Group Inc. v 40 Finchgate Limited Partnership (2012) ONCA 795, the landlord ("Finchgate"), entered into a 5 year lease agreement with the tenant ("AIM").
Several months prior to the expiry of the commercial lease, AIM informed Finchgate of their intention to not renew the lease but to stay for an extended period of time due to a delay in a medical facilities inspection test required prior to moving into a new premises. Two weeks prior to the notice, Finchgate enforced a surrender clause within the lease which required AIM to vacate the premises at the end of the lease term.
The tenant filed an emergency application and claimed they were entitled to re-entering the premises since the overholding clause in the lease agreement did not state that it was only enforceable subject to the payment of rent and the landlord's consent. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial judge's decision and held that an overholding tenancy can arise only if the landlord agrees to a month-to-month tenancy which is normally evidenced through the landlord's acceptance of rent or by waiving a tenant's obligation to vacate as stipulated by a surrender clause within a lease agreement.
This interpretation was justified on the basis that clauses typically found in standard form contracts such as a lease agreement should be consistently interpreted in order to foster certainty and predictability in the law.
Key Take-Aways
The Court stated, in obiter, that surrender clauses within lease agreements are not necessary since there is an implied obligation on the tenant to not only give up possession upon expiration or termination of a tenancy, but to also restore absolute possession to the landlord in the same condition that the premises was found to be in prior to the execution of a lease agreement.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere in goal tonight
VANCOUVER – J.S. Giguere will make his season debut as a starter tonight for the battered Avalanche, as they hope to salvage what has been a Titanic-like voyage so far in a four-game road trip.
No official word on Gabe Landeskog yet for tonight, but it's probably safe to bet that he won't play. But again, you never know.
I talked with the NHL today about that hit on Landy by Brad Stuart. They did not give a suspension because, while they concede the head was the first point of contact, the head was not TARGETED first.
"The head had to be BOTH targeted (either intentionally or recklessly) AND the principal point of contact for a hit to be a Rule 48 violation subject to supplemental discipline," was the word I got.
Stuart did the second thing, but not the first. Argue all you want, but that was the ruling.

Therapeutic Community
What is a Therapeutic Community?
Spring Lake Ranch has existed as a therapeutic community for more than 86 years (before the term was even coined), first opening itself to military veterans struggling with trauma and PTSD back in the 1930s.
The central philosophy behind the therapeutic community model is that every resident is empowered to be an active participant in his/her own recovery from mental illness or addiction, as well as in the recovery of other residents. Residents and staff engage together in every aspect of the community, finding purpose in structure in working alongside each other and rediscovering their individuality through recreation. Day-to-day community activities such as dishes and cleaning are a collaborative effort shared among residents and staff.
Spring Lake Ranch provides an environment of acceptance where people are valued for who they are, not who we think they should be. Everyone is a valued member of the community, regardless of race, class, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. The needs of different cultures and religions are integrated into the therapeutic community, such as the celebration of Passover, Hanukkah, and others.

How (and Why) to Create a Plan B For Your Workouts
Failing to plan is a planning to fail. It may be cliche, but it is absolutely true, especially when it comes to working out. If you've been following for a while, you know how to set SMART goals (click here for a refresher!) which is a huge first step in setting yourself up for success when improving your fitness. The next part is developing a plan for those workout goals, which we covered with Phoebe Buffay, here.
On paper, you are all set and ready to take on the world! But, this is real life. There are work deadlines, bad weather, sick days, kids schedules, vacations, need I go on? Your Plan A won't always be feasible, and that's why you need a Plan B. Earlier I wrote about the Realities of Your Goals, and spoke to common barriers that disrupt your goal actions, and how helpful it is to have a plan in place.When it comes to consistency with working out, the all-or-nothing monster brings many of us down. Click To Tweet
When it comes to consistency with working out, the all-or-nothing monster brings many of us down. You have your plan, but on Tuesday evening you don't make your evening strength class and suddenly feel your entire week is shot. To get out of this mindset, look at your current plan – however detailed or general – as Plan A. Your plan A could be, you will get to yoga on Tuesday and Friday, strength train on Monday and Wednesday and run on Thursday. If you're unable to get to the gym for your Monday strength training, instead of throwing your hands in the air, look for a Plan B.
Could you do yoga that day and strength train the next day? Would Saturday be a good back up day if you can't get it in during the week? I look at my week as a puzzle. I plug in the workouts I'd like to do on the days I'd like to do them, but move them around as conflicts arise. Once you take out the need for perfection, the frustration will fade away.Once you take out the need for perfection, the frustration will fade away. Click To Tweet
Still, there are those weeks where finding the time isn't necessarily the issue. If you're up all night with a sick child, or an impromptu work trip leaves you high and dry for a gym, your Plan B is the next best thing you can do. Here are some common disruptions and a possible Plan B:
- Unplanned work trip = Pack workout clothes, do bodyweight exercises
- Lack of Sleep = Shorten duration and/or intensity, if a morning workout is planned then sleep in and workout later in the day
- Stuck at home (sick kid, weather, etc,) = Workout video from Fitness Blender, my Strongher in :30 e-book
- Sick, but not that sick = Shorten duration and intensity, take a long walk instead
- Stuck at the office = Focus on sitting as little as you can (Click here for ideas), consider shortening your workout but still doing it, look at a time later in the week
You'll become more comfortable with looking for alternatives and recognizing your personal roadblocks that arise more often than others. Above all, keep your big picture goals and actions at the forefront. One missed workout won't make a difference in the long run, but letting your entire week be thrown off and feeling guilty for not achieving your Plan A, will never get you to your goals and will only stress you out.
What's your biggest roadblock when it comes to consistency with your workouts? Comment below!

Being happy and satisfied about your career choice and your job is very laudatory. Yet everything, where the word "too" comes in, is not good at all. Neither for your health, nor personal life. Working too much is a huge issue, that can affect your life negatively. In Japanese language even a word, meant for such situation exists. Japanese would try to frighten a workaholic person with the word karōshi - death from work, or simply, working until the instant, unexpected death in a young age.
Do your friends and relatives complain that the last time they saw you, was 2 years ago, when you accidentally bumped into them in the city center? When it comes to workaholism, specialists claim that there are 10 symptoms which you should be aware of. If you realize at least a couple of bullet points are about you: it could be the right time to plan your next holidays ASAP…
* You have no hobbies. If the only answer you give, when asked what are your hobbies, is "job", that is not good at all. Remember, the time you are spending from 9am to 5pm is not your leisure. It's a job. And even though your job can give you a great satisfaction, it is not a sufficient hobby for such an interesting and goal-reaching person like you.
* You skip lunch just to have some extra time to work on the tasks you want to accomplish. A lot of people think that the only way to to do that is to have more working hours, but try to be strategic: well-planned time pays off.
* You are the first who comes to your workplace and the last who leaves. You probably like to have a quiet half an hour before everyone comes, when the office is empty, but don't make it a habit.
* You choose to postpone your holidays and you've been doing so for a while. Even though you know and realize that your productivity would increase after a week or two off, you still choose to work instead of relaxing and even make fun of your colleagues, who are posting their holiday pictures on various social media platforms.
* Not only that you refuse to have holidays, but you also wake up and go to an office while having a viscous snot under your nose and a sore throat. Remember: your health is more important than your job. Going to work while sick may not only bring you serious health issues, but may also infect your colleagues. Not cool at all…
* You are not satisfied with your results. Whereas your colleagues and your boss praise you, you are still left with the disappointed and believe you could have done better. That is why you work even more to achieve the results you think and expect to achieve.
* You are not sharing the tasks with your colleagues. You think that you will do everything on your own and therefore your boss will appreciate it. In a way that is true – the more you are able and willing to do, the better you become. But remember that being a team player means a lot…
* You have never said "no" to your boss and colleagues. If your boss wants to give you more tasks to accomplish, you gladly take all of them. If your new colleague does not understand something, you are rushing to help. Remember: you are not a superman or a superwoman. You might pretend to be one for a while and might actually succeed, but your human powers will win in any case.
* You feel tired. If you wake up and after 2 huge cups of coffee your bed and pillow still seems to be inviting you to cuddle, you might night to rest. People, who are not willing to rest, are suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and have numerous digestion problems.
* You do not call yourself a workaholic and if someone does, you instantly get insulted. Try to evaluate your working situation and if you feel tired, talk to your boss about a day off, without your job, computer and a phone, simply with lots of sleep and a book. It may help.

Though you don't need to cut out all fat when taking Alli; A single meal may contain up to 15g fat.

soul's world
I love writing! One day, I'll definitely become a professional writer, it's merely a matter of time! In the meantime, I'll sharpen my skills by writing weekly columns and articles for some of the bigger TCG magazines. This is how it started:
In late 2004, I told the editor of the biggest TCG magazine in Germany that I don't agree with most of the articles and that I could provide content of a higher quality. He put me to the test. I delivered. This is pretty much how I first got into writing.
Still in the same year, the editor of yet another magazine asked me if I was interested in coming up with an article about how to organize a tournament. The editors of this magazine must have been equally pleased with my work as they requested more articles from then on (looking back at the work, I'm not that impressed, but I got told that this is actually normal as you should get better in writing…).
From then on, my passion for writing grew steadily. I started to provide articles for websites and soon took over the role of coverage team-leader, providing live-features of bigger TCG events. What once was a text-only coverage with a few brief blog-like descriptions of what happened on site turned into a detailed event report packed with articles, pictures and different multimedia-features.
In mid-2006, I started my first weekly column that was running until April 2009, when a dispute about the distribution of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game forced it to end: "Unter den Hut geschaut". Early 2008, I started another weekly column that was supposed to end in mid-2008 when another author took over ("Schmutzige Picks"). In 2009, I started my third weekly column that is similar to "Unter den Hut geschaut", but targeting another (WoW TCG players) audience and therefore being published on Warcraft-TCG.de: "Suppe für den soul".
As I grew bored of "just" writing one weekly column, I took over another column on Warcraft-TCG.de aimed at players new to the game. This is my way of giving something back to the community and help new players to become more successful: "Der Versammlungsstein".
Here are a few links in case you're interested in checking out some of my works:

– I provided a lot of my best works for Warcraft-TCG.de, featuring big events like Darkmoon Faires, National Championships or even Worlds.

I'm going to share with you some surprising life lessons I've learned since becoming a health and wellness coach and how it has taught me to love myself as a divorced plus-size woman struggling with self-esteem issues. These lessons can be difficult to accept at first, but they can be life changing if you choose to embrace them. Although I'm nowhere near achieving my ideal body, mind, and spirit, I've learned to accept that change is a very messy process but oh so worth it. I hope you'll find at least one of the five lessons listed as an inspirational takeaway!
❤ CHANGE TAKES TIME…a really long time.
This probably is one of the first lessons I had to embrace. Not really understanding what that meant is probably what contributed to my years of yo-yo dieting. We all want that quick fix, be it pills, fad diets, endless trips to the gym, binging and purging, or not eating at all in some cases. I don't need to go into the societal pressures of what it means to be a woman (or a man for that matter). The point I am making here is that if you have spent decades hating yourself, don't expect that fitting into a pair of skinny jeans will make it all better. There is work to be done physically, mentally, spiritually, and it will take time. BUT here is the saving grace…the more you learn to accept this truth, the more enjoyable the process of change becomes, making your end goal less important. You will begin to embrace every seemingly small success along the way, and that is how you will learn to love yourself.
❤ YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM…so stop it!
Many of us have set up our own traps, myself included. It's called self-sabotage. When we adopt a worldview in which we are always the victim, more often than not we are partly to blame for our circumstances. I know that may be difficult to accept; I cringed many times when I first heard of it and it took me a couple of years to finally make that mental breakthrough. So here is one way of looking at it…assuming we're naive about something or someone, we can easily fall prey. When we have no control over certain events in our lives, we can become a victim of circumstance. But here is the lesson…you can only be a victim once. If you continue to find yourself in the same scenario over and over again, something is definitely wrong, and it usually means you are self-protecting in some way that may not be obvious to you. Because we are talking about something much deeper here, self-reflection is definitely required. Journaling, talk-therapy, meditation, hypnosis, or prayer can be very helpful. Self-investigation and taking the time to really think about why you are sabotaging yourself is an act of self-love and self-care.
I am a thinker. I overthink all the time. I have ADHD and that means I have more thoughts running through my mind taking a shower than most "normal" minds do by the time they get to work and have fueled themselves with coffee. But whether you have ADHD or not, many of us will wait…and wait…and wait…hoping for something or someone to motivate us to do what we already know is necessary for change to occur. But that just isn't how it works. There is a difference between being inspired and being motivated. Inspiration comes from observing. Motivation comes from doing or taking action. So how do you get there? How do you make that first move? You simply stop thinking about it! I'm not saying it's easy to shut it down…trust me I know! However, realize that your brain is designed to be habitual, which is why change is so difficult. The more you think, the more you end up battling with your own mind and it will convince you that it's not worth trying, so you have to trick your brain into action. This is why I believe in order for you to change how you perceive yourself on an emotional level, you have to start with physical activity. Exercising, eating well, taking care of your physical body is an act of self-love.
There are countless examples making the argument that in order to be successful in anything, you have to try and fail many times. Unfortunately, most people will never try again after they have failed. So it's not so much that failure equals success, it's just that success can only be achieved by not allowing your failures to stop you from trying again. I have failed so many times, allowed doubt to creep in (it still does), and I end up berating myself with negative self-talk such as, "I'm such a loser, I'm worthless, I'm unlovable, I'm disgusting, and I'll never be successful in life." There goes that victim mentality again, right?! The attitude that you have about failure is more important than your attitude about success. Again this is a mental shift, one that I had to learn as a health and wellness coach. In order to make a mental shift like that, you really got to tap into personal development constantly until it really sinks in. I'm talking about reading books, listening to podcasts, watching Youtube videos, following inspirational people, and above all CONNECTING with other people who are LIKE MINDED! That part is huge.
If you want to become successful in anything, if you want to change that victim mentality that you have, if you want to learn how to love yourself physically and emotionally, you absolutely have to evaluate the company that you keep. Without having tapped into personal development, I never would have understood how important it is to connect and build relationships with people who are smarter, more successful, more fit, and more confident. Watch them, learn from them, ask them questions, don't be afraid to put yourself out there, because I promise you that every successful person that has what you want and is confident in themselves won't push you away if you are serious about becoming a better version of yourself. Everyone has potential. Everyone has beauty. Everyone has something to offer this world. If you are married to, work with, or hang out with people who are jealous, bring you down, don't see your worth, it's time to start loving yourself and letting them go.

Apple users worldwide last night rushed to download the company's new-look mobile operating system.
Demand for the freely available iOS 7 was strong after the technology giant's design chief Sir Jonathan Ive described it as 'an important new direction'.
The redesign, which includes cleaner looking icons and a control centre activated by a swipe of the finger, comes ahead of the release of the iPhone 5s and 5c tomorrow.
It also features a torch that utilises the device's camera flash and AirDrop, which allows pictures, documents and contacts to be shared with others nearby through Bluetooth or wi-fi.
Apple fan and iPhone user Colin Roberts, 28, of London, said: 'It's very easy on the eye and I think it'll help me in my everyday life.'
But some users reported problems trying to access the new software including error messages and lengthy download times. One, Michael Saunders, tweeted: 'Have to wait 4 hours for iOS 7.0 to download…oh dear.'
While Sam Allison posted: 'Guess I'm not the only one getting an Error message trying to download iOS 7.0.'
However, users who were successful were impressed with one stating: 'IOS 7.0 is awesome!'
Metro tech editor James Day said it was a 'massive cosmetic upgrade', arguably bigger news than the new iPhone 5s, which includes a fingerprint scanner.
'Apple is facing a battle to keep customers or claw them back from rivals such as Android and the new operating system is a massive draw,' he added.
The iOS 7 software is also available for the iPhone 4, iPad2, iPad Mini, iPod Touch and later models of those devices.

Growing up we learn to relate to friends, family members and colleagues but rarely do we nowadays have suitable role models to learn 'healthy intimate relating' from. In couples therapy partners can learn what makes a relationship satisfying and where they can enhance theirs.
Feeling at ease with your therapist
It is important that you as a couple feel comfortable with your therapist, be it a woman, a man or a 'therapy couple'. Give your therapist a few sessions to feel whether there is a good fit between you, your partner and the way the therapist works with you.
What to expect
In couples therapy counsellors, coaches and therapists traditionally follow different theories. What you can expect is that your therapist will ask about your relationship history to understand how you came together as a couple and what your challenges have been along the way. They will also take your personal history including some details about your family of origin to see whether there are patterns in your family history that are repeating themselves.
Individual sessions – couples session
Personally I have found that a mixture of couples and individual sessions works best. In all couples issues there are potentially hidden personal challenges that are triggered by the partner. These personal issues come up as an invitation to be dealt with and it sometimes is better for the individual to work through them in their own time and space.
In couples session I have found that couples learn to better listen to their partner when they are asked to listen first and then speak, rather than to react immediately. This structure often helps them to be able to fully express themselves within the safe environment of the therapy and on the other side to actively listen with patience and keep reactivity low.
Use your therapist wisely
As a couples therapist I suggest to my clients that they want to use my time wisely. They do not need to come into therapy to pay me to watch them have the same fights as they have at home. This time is better used to think about the underlying reasons and mechanism that lead to the fighting. Refer to my other article 'Couples Therapy – It Can Save Your Relationship!' for more information.
Ask for professional help
If you have been wondering if couples therapy is for you then give it a try. When emotions run high reactivity is almost unavoidable. Sometimes all your efforts might not be enough to change the patterns you and your partner have gotten yourself into. If you have not yet found the courage to ask for help it is time to do it now.

I know it's that time of year. But, I'm already suffering from a case of Best Burnout. Best cookbook posts are everywhere. I'm not suggesting that these aren't well written and thoughtful pieces. It's just that there's a swarm of them.
I was hoping to write a post highlighting some of my own choices for the best cookbooks of 2011. But, I'm not sure I really want to be just tossed on top of the already heaping pile of posts. I almost feel obligated. After all, the name of this site is cookbookman.com. I'll think about it and get back to you.
In the meantime, there were a bunch of best lists posted in the past week or so. You can check out some of the selections right here. Of course, there are some regular, old fashioned cookbook reviews mixed in there too.
Now that should give you a pretty good idea of what to buy for the cookbook enthusiast on your list this holiday season.

I'm a huge fan of chocolate, and it's even better when it comes in baked form! I first fell in love with the Sachertorte when I saw it being made on "The Great British Bake Off", and instantly wanted to try it.
I came across Mary Berry's recipe after searching and tried it out. The photo above is my first attempt. I was pretty pleased with it despite my slightly wonky piping!
After trying my first slice, I was even more in love with this fabulously dense, chocolatey torte. The hint of apricot under the ganache seems to sing against the bittersweet chocolate.
I've made it quite a few times since, and every time it reminds me just why it's my favourite chocolate treat!
I've used Mary Berry's recipe every time, with no additions or alterations. You can't improve on perfection!
Mary Berry's recipe can be found here on the BBC Good Food website.
A few tips I'd like to add:
At the end of stage 2, Mary quotes that the mixture will be quite thick. Mine is usually very thick here, until I mix in some of the egg whites as detailed in stage 3.
The reason why only a small amount of egg white is added to start with is to enable the mix to "slacken". This, in turn, makes it much easier to fold the rest of the egg white in.
Once all of the egg whites have been added, keep folding gently until there are no more white bits left. This will ensure the consistency is correct.
In stage 5, once I've warmed the apricot jam in a small pan, I usually pass it through a sieve to remove any pulp. This way, I've found it easier to get a nice smooth layer for the ganache to cover.
