Im learning as I wake up, who to trust and who not to trust!
When Im more-asleep-psychologically, Ive allowed many unsafe people to meander around my space. As I wake up Im seeing a new light on people I never saw before. Several people I have trusted are not trust worthy.
Im learning the hard way as I wake up!
I have one friend that Ive been calling! or , he called me! Yet, he is not safe, and the child in me comes out and starts letting out my feelings and emotions with this person as if safe. As my feelings and emotions spill, I feel freer and freer; and thats when I get caught! I get turned on! The predator in the other person spots weakness, weakness in me! they turn on me. Now what do I do!
I have to remember that the whole of the people Im around in recovery are predators of one nature or another! and I forget this at times. Im to comfortable in my surroundings.
Possibly someone has turned on me and I need to talk to someone else about it! However, the new person I talk to is the same of character to the person that turned on me! Im sabotaged by this new friend for talking about the other so called friend! Both are in the same group with me!
Im learning how to deal with many different forms of people! One area is; keep silent for awhile. Don't cause waves if Im suppose to stick around! Trust God until I can heal; don't rock the boat! keep the waters calm!
ITs very hard; its starts out innocent. I start talking about a manipulator thats been manipulating me from the beginning; Im now aware of it and Im mad. I explain this to my new friend on the phone!
My friend is a master manipulator that is waiting to manipulate me! He is of the same group; the same mentality!
As I talk about the other manipulators in the group, I get pulled into the phone call, deeper, n deeper, n deeper. As long as he is in control, everything is OK, as soon as he starts loosing control, he begins to question my integrity and sources of information. I have accused people of many things, and he would like the evidence! He is calling me a liar. He is not on mysids and never as been; did I forget this, or its easy to play friend when convenient.
I have to remember what Im doing in these groups. Im recovering. Not everyone wants to help! As I wake up, I need to remember where I am and with who! I need to be low key for awhile. The locals are getting restless; they want to hunt! I do not want to be the dinner steak on the menu!
Its my call, its up to me what to say! Its nice to have friends to talk to! its not so nice when they can't be trusted anymore then the problem people Im talking about.
This is a real hard time. This requires steadfastness if Im going to survive! I have to get stronger! Im stuck in the middle of the upper middle. As I wake up, Im noticing, no one really knows me or understands me! I never noticed this when dissociative. Im starting to see this now! I assumed others could follow along! that can't! they can't follow where Im coming from! they don't want to! I guess.
When Im at meetings, Im talking about poverty! and how addiction is a part of poverty. The gaol is to get back to health away from poverty; do anything and everything I can to get away from poverty!
I have very little friends in these places. Im getting worse as people associations go!
I have a conscious, Im around allot of people that do not! Im around allot of control freaks.
Im getting blocked, and have to work through this! Not sure what to do here. Trust God. Trust what God wants me to do!
I have to work with God or I parish... Its all very hard! I have gained much, and lots of feedback!
However, most of the people from the meetings do not care for me or what I stand for. I suppose they never will! The truth means nothing to these people!
At some point I have to get new clothing! and keep my room clean! Im not ready! but I have to. I don't have a choice! Im getting better!
where do I go from here! I don't know. I keep trying to solve things with people that won't help. I am learning things! Im learning how to back of from the wrong people that could cause me harm!

Elementary's ratings are about to see one heck of an uptick.
CBS' freshman drama, which follows a modern-day Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and his distaff Watson (Lucy Liu), has landed the coveted post-Super Bowl timeslot on Sunday, Feb. 3, the network announced Monday.
CBS orders more Vegas and Elementary
Elementary, which is slated to air at 10/9c on Super Bowl Sunday, has been dominating Thursday nights for CBS, averaging 14.2 million viewers and a 3.5 in the 18 to 49 demographic, ranking as the No. 2 new series on TV this season behind CBS' Vegas (with 14.5 million viewers).
The 2012 Super Bowl on NBC drew 111.3 million viewers, which boosted its post-Bowl fare, The Voice, to 37.6 million viewers, 47 percent better than the post-Super Bowl airing of Glee in 2011.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: Zadig & Voltaire's artistic director Cecilia Bönström said it took her some time to track down New York-based jewelry designer Pamela Love, whose work she has admired for years. The result of their eventual encounter, through a mutual acquaintance, is a collaborative jewelry line dubbed Wild Heart. It will enter all of the French contemporary label's stores worldwide in March.
"Pamela Love is joined with the rock attitude of Zadig," Bönström said.
The six-item collection indeed mixes rock influences with elements of the natural world and includes items like two-finger snake rings, horn-shaped earrings and a bird-skull necklace. The items are available in antique silver, antique brass or gold plate and range in price from $210 to $560.
"People are going to like it a lot because you can wear it in many ways," she added.
For her part, Love is hoping that the collaboration will build her renown in Europe. "I'm not as well known [in Europe] as I am in America, for sure, and I know that Zadig has a lot of exposure and reach. So I really do hope that it helps to build brand awareness and drive people to discover my main line," she said. "It's a mixture of my line with the Zadig aesthetic."
It is not Zadig & Voltaire's first venture into jewelry: The brand collaborated with Gaia Repossi in 2011 for a collection that is still in stores, and has reportedly sold well. Bönström also confided that she is designing her own "simple" earrings line for a spring 2014 launch.

Celebrities Honor Young Cancer Patient by Covering Viral Hit "Clouds"
"When faced with months to live, how do you say goodbye?" That's the question posed by 17-year-old cancer victim Zach Sobiech, who wrote a viral hit song, "Clouds," as his answer. The tune touched the hearts of many, including a slew of celebrities who have filmed their own take on "Clouds" to raise awareness and research funds in Sobiech's honor.
The idea was spearheaded by "The Office" star Rainn Wilson, who gathered up friends from the worlds of music and acting to pay tribute to Sobiech, who is fighting osteosarcoma--a rare form of bone cancer that is particularly aggressive and deadly.
It's no surprise that Sobiech's song has affected everyone from civilians to celebs: It's hard to keep a dry eye when listening to the lyrics, which include such quiet but moving sentiments as "Be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands," "If only I had a little bit more time with you," and the chorus "We'll go up, up, up/But I'll fly a little higher/We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer."
Enjoy spotting all the famous faces in the video--but if you'd like a cheat sheet, the list of participants singing along to Sobiech's affecting tune includes Brian Cranston, Sarah Silverman, Ashley Tisdale, Colbie Caillat, Chris Pratt, Anna Faris, Jason Mraz, Sara Bareilles, Andy Grammer, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Jenna Elfman, Jack McBrayer, Lumineers, Jason Derulo, The Mowgli's, Rachel Bilson, Kina Grannis, Passenger, Creed Bratton, Tyler Hilton, Mark Duplass, Josh Gad, Jason Wade, Paul McDonald, Ed Helms, Phillip Phillips, Justin Young, and Alyssa Shouse.
Love Sobiech's ballad? You can download it here. All proceeds support the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund. You can also make a donation directly at the Fund's webpage.
Sobiech was diagnosed with the disease in 2009, when he was just 14 years old. He's since endured a number of treatments, including a hip replacement. Last May, doctors discovered that the cancer had spread, and pronounced there is nothing more than can be done.

Will money and politics in the Senate have environmental consequences?
Take More Money and Run
Will money and politics in the Senate have environmental consequences?
View and Download the report here: Take More Money And Run
Since 1990, there has been an unprecedented explosion of campaign cash in our electoral process. The Washington Post noted that "Election '96 ranked as the costliest ever" (Feb. 9, 1997). Political action committees – especially industry PACs – are one of the main sources of these dollars for congressional races. In the 1995-1996 election cycle, PACs donated a record $186 million to U.S. Senate and House candidates. Contributions from PACs increased $12 million over the 1994 election cycle, and were $62 million more than in the 1990 election cycle.
Anti-environmental PACs contributed $29 million to senators as part of their campaign to weaken environmental laws.
These millions of dollars bought donors access to legislators and tre- mendous leverage over the congressional agenda. The never-ending search for campaign contributions increases the pressure on many senators and representations to advocate special-interest legislation that benefits several hundred large corporations at the expense of the rest of us.
During the past two years, anti-environmental corporations vigorously attempted to convince the U.S. Senate to undo environmental health and safety standards. We searched public disclosure records to determine whether generous contributions from PACs associated with an anti-environmental agenda were an effective tool to help them persuade senators to support such an agenda.

text: Inquistor Hexx 5 Posted April 19, 2012 I've been working on this for about a month now and after a lot of blood, sweat, and tears I am happy to say it is finally completed! It's based on the design by Studio Oxmox for THQ that was given away as promotional prizes with the release of the Space Marine video game. This measures 37" tip to tip and weighs around 4lbs. Constructed out of lots of materials -The handle is resin cast around pvc pipe which forms the grip itself and runs about 2 feet into the blade to give it strength and stability. The blade is pink foam sheathed in MDF and then fiber glass for extra strength! The details on the blade are mostly styrene plastic with some resin bits as well. The inscription on the side reads in High Gothic "Imperator Dentes Ruminant Omnes" which roughly translates to - The Emperor's Teeth Chew All. The Hilt reads "Pax Imperium" which translates in essence to - The entire world (galaxy) is the Imperium, or basically we rule all! Painted with an airbrush and by hand using acrylic paints and given many coats of spray varnish to protect it on the bloody battlefields of the 41st millennium! If you'd like to see the behind the scenes as to how I built this check out my latest blog post. I have a build log with pictures and descriptions of the process! You can view my blog HERE! Thanks for looking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post season.
What was this stupid game played by men in tights on TV Monday night and where is my baseball?
Oops, technology. Just got an email from Stubhub this morning "San Francisco Giants Postseason Tickets in a Flash – Head to StubHub.com. We wanted to give you a heads up that seats are still available." Well, no doubt game 6 and 7 tickets are cheap…..
Over 5 million are now without power. 5,000,050 if you count the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers.
Pablo Sandoval, World Series MVP?! So does this mean tacos may be declared a PED?
Hmm, used this joke Saturday, and Jay Leno used almost the same one tonight. " Detroit looking like their only hope is to ask President Obama for a bailout." (But of course they still don't think they need any female freelancers.)
A line going around the internet (don't know who wrote it) is that they should have renamed the storm Hurricane A-Rod, then it wouldn't have hit anyone.
So much for the country pulling together: The Fed. Govt. is closed for at least 2 days, which may delay the Oct. jobs report. Iowa GOP Rep. Chuck Grassley tweets "Labor Dept says may release latest Unemployment figures until after election. Par for course. Why release something might hurt Obama elect?" Right, clearly the President conjured up Sandy for this purpose.
Chris Christie is praising President Obama for his response so far to Hurricane Sandy. Nice bipartisan statement. And makes sense – I am sure Christie would rather run against Hillary, Biden or Cuomo in 2016 rather than an incumbent Romney.
N.J. Gov. Chris Christie said evacuations are no longer possible, and rescuers won't be sent out "until daylight tomorrow." Translation – "Okay idiots, we'll pick you or your bodies up in the morning."
(Added Nick Coombs, "Attention New Jersey residents. In case of emergency your governor may be used as a floatation device.)
The HMS Bounty, built as a replica tall ship to be used in movies, has sunk off the N.C. coast. Tragic for the two missing crew members but going out in hurricane conditions had to be the dumbest decision since Captain Bligh figured he could handle an angry Fletcher Christian.
49ers fans were glad that their Monday Night Football game was played in Arizona and thus avoided a Hurricane Sandy postponement. New York Jets fans are just wishing Sandy had shown up yesterday morning.
For anyone who doesn't believe in voodoo, this from ESPN: "Oct. 9 in Cincinnati. Giants trailed, 2 games to 0 in NLDS. And then, with their entire season on the line, they picked THAT night to get no-hit into the 6th, to get 1 hit in the first 9 innings, to strike out 16 times — and they WON. In extra innings. On an unearned run."Explore posts in the same categories: baseball jokes, political jokes, sports jokes, Uncategorized

How fortunate was it that the Giants swept the series. Who knows when they would have played game 5 and then get back to SF with the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy. 🙂

Three tips for success in fantasy tournament play
If you have yet to dabble in daily fantasy baseball, the Official Mini Fantasy Game of MLB.com from DraftKings is a great place to start. Each time you play (for free), you unlock a chance to attend actual MLB games, including the All-Star Game and World Series.
There are a few different primary league types in daily fantasy baseball. The Official Mini Fantasy Game of MLB.com from DraftKings is a tournament, meaning there are many users competing for prizes in a single league. As you might expect, the strategy you implement in tournaments should differ from your approach in other league types, such as a head-to-head matchup.
In a tournament, you want to do everything in your power to obtain a really high score. You might think that's always the case -- no one is trying to create a lineups that's just OK -- but there's no extra downside to your lineup tanking in a given day as compared to performing decently. In other words, the difference between "good not great" and "horrible" is basically nothing.
With that in mind, here are three tournament tips to get you rolling.
Tournament Tip No. 1: Seek variance in batters
The Moneyball revolution brought with it an emphasis on specific player traits in batters, one of which was the ability to get on base. Whereas batting average was once the key stat analyzed by most, on-base percentage is now understood as a better tool for judging players.
In daily fantasy baseball tournaments, though, your goal is to increase the upside of your lineup as much as possible, and that means seeking hitters who are naturally high-variance. You're not just looking for the ability to walk and hit singles, but rather to rack up points via relatively low-frequency events. That usually comes from either hitting for power or stealing bases.
Thus, search for batters who either hit for power, swipe bags, or preferably both. That player type is more likely to put up a monster performance than one whose value comes primarily via his ability to just get on base.
Tournament Tip No. 2: Pay for pitching
Pitchers are far more consistent than hitters on a day-to-day basis. That makes sense when you consider that batters typically get just a handful of hacks at the plate, while hurlers often throw triple-digit pitches.
Pitching is the one area where you want to pay for consistency in tournaments. The most expensive pitchers continually finish at or near the top of the fantasy rankings for the night. They have built-in upside, so the fact that they're also consistent doesn't limit their ceiling.
But regardless of what you pay for pitching, you always want to value strikeouts. High-strikeout pitchers are more likely to record a top-tier fantasy output, and thus are more worthy of consideration for tournaments.
Tournament Tip No. 3: Stack your lineup
Finally, you should combine players on the same big league team whenever possible -- it's a strategy known as "stacking." Stacking is a shrewd tournament strategy, because it enhances your team's upside by creating synergistic relationships within your lineup; a hitter's performance is dependent on that of his teammates, so when they both turn in awesome nights, you'll benefit more than if you picked players on different teams.
You must choose hitters from at least three teams when playing the Official Mini Fantasy Game of MLB.com from DraftKings. Many users like to pick a pair of value bats from different teams, then use a "six-man stack" -- six teammates who have a good matchup in a given day. If you use a six-man stack and that offense scores a great deal of runs, there's a very good chance you'll find yourself near the top of the daily-fantasy leaderboards.

THE TRUE FACE OF ARAB-ISLAMIC "Palestine" ANIMALISM!
The day the world witnessed animalism on display, shameless inhumane revelations, by "average" Arab-Palestinians & their official police.
* Two Israelis are nabbed –as they lost their way– by the "Palestinian" Police who beat them brutally.
* They then handed over the men to a mob to lynch, while they watch the scene.
* One "proud" Arab-Muslim "hero" had his hands covered in the blood of the Israelis and waved in a bragging manner through the window to the larger crowd anxiously waiting in the public square.
(* They were put on military clothes afterwards.)
* An Israeli is thrown out the window into the bloodthirsty [literally] mob waiting.
* They were beaten, stabbed to death, their faces disfigured…
* Their bodies were mutilated the 'mainstream' Arab-Muslim "Palestinians" screamed in ecstasy, moaning in beasty manners while waving the body parts in "joy"… all that savagery in broad day light in public square.
* The shameless pride doesn't end there, their kids are –later on– taught to "cherish" such 'blood-cult' via glorifying the act in portraying a starring girl dipping in blood, all "for the cause."
* It also marked the worsening conditions for any journalist in their areas, intimidation into telling, reporting 'their version' of "truth."
* Just like the Arab-Palestinian dancing, celebrating the 9/11 Islamic massacre of 3,000 innocent people, the PA [Pallywood] tried to suppress the lynch from the world, first they denied it, but as the photos shot by an Italian crew already [exposed their true character] shocked the world, they quickly switched gears and attempted to lie that the Israelis were nabbed on "suspicion of spying… or something.
The lynching of: Vadim Norzhich and Yosef Avrahami.
On October 12, 2000, two non-combatant Israeli.. were lynched and brutally murdered by a Palestinian mob in Ramallah. Both were drivers, one aged 38 and the father of three, the other a 33 year-old newly-wed.
Since this lynching, the official Palestinian broadcasting stations have made every effort to hide the horrible pictures which were shown around the world.
According to reporters' evidence on the scene, not only did the Palestinian police not protect the two men slaughtered while in their custody in the Ramallah police station, but they also tried to prevent foreign journalists in the area around the building from filming the incident.
Despite the attempts to distance reports, an Italian television crew managed to film several scenes.
The following is an ad published in the Al Hayat Al Jadidah newspaper, considered the main newspaper of the Palestinian Authority. The ad, probably paid for, is evidence of the double standard which has come to characterize much of the reporting of the recent violence in the territories.
Note that the brutal lynching is described merely as "the events".
Eyewitness to Ramallah Lynching
A British photographer working on a pictorial study of Palestinian refugees stumbled on the event after the initial attack in the Ramallah police station. He did not witness that aspect. He subsequently described what he did see in The Sunday Telegraph, a respected British daily newspaper. The following is an extract:
"I had arrived in Ramallah at about 10.30 in the morning and was getting into a taxi on the main road to go to Nablus, where there was to be a funeral that I wanted to film, when all of a sudden there came a big crowd of Palestinians shouting and running down the hill from the police station.
I got out of the car to see what was happening and saw that they were dragging something behind them. Within moments they were in front of me and, to my horror, I saw that it was a body, a man they were dragging by the feet. The lower part of his body was on fire and the upper part had been shot at, and the head beaten so badly that it was a pulp, like a red jelly.
I thought he was a soldier because I could see the remains of the khaki trousers and boots. My God, I thought, they've killed this guy. He was dead, he must have been dead, but they were still beating him, madly, kicking his head. They were like animals.
They were just a few feet in front of me and I could see everything. Instinctively, I reached for my camera. I was composing the picture when I was punched in the face by a Palestinian. Another Palestinian pointed right at me shouting 'no picture, no picture!', while another guy hit me in the face and said 'give me your film!'
I tried to get the film out but they were all grabbing me and the one guy just pulled the camera off me and smashed it to the floor. I knew I had lost the chance to take the photograph that would have made me famous and I had lost my favourite lens that I'd used all over the world, but I didn't care. I was scared for my life.
At the same time, the guy that looked like a soldier was being beaten and the crowd was getting angrier and angrier, shouting 'Allah akbar' – God is great. They were dragging the dead man around the street like a cat toying with a mouse. It was the most horrible thing that I have ever seen and I have reported from Congo, Kosovo, many bad places. In Kosovo, I saw Serbs beating an Albanian but it wasn't like this. There was such hatred, such unbelievable hatred and anger distorting their faces.
The worst thing was that I realised the anger that they were directing at me was the same as that which they'd had toward the soldier before dragging him from the police station and killing him. Somehow I escaped and ran and ran not knowing where I was going. I never saw the other guy they killed, the one they threw out of the window.
I thought that I'd got to know the Palestinians well. I've made six trips this year and had been going to Ramallah every day for the past 16 days. I thought they were kind, hospitable people. I know they are not all like this and I'm a very forgiving person but I'll never forget this. It was murder of the most barbaric kind. When I think about it, I see that man's head, all smashed. I know that I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life."

A Wrong Turn In Ramallah, Reflections On A Savage People
In Ramallah in 2000, two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped, beaten, stabbed countless times, had their eyes gouged out, and were literally disemboweled and dismembered by an Arab lynch mob.
The people – and I use the term loosely – who carried out the initial beatings threw one of the victims down to the waiting mob, where his face was further crushed with stones, feet, fists and even a heavy metal window frame. One Jew was set on fire and dragged along the street as Arab onlookers danced and cheered. Some of the butchers celebrated their crimes with the victims' internal organs. One of the killers, famously captured on film, proudly displayed his blood-soaked hands to the cheering Ramallah crowd.
And it gets worse. In 2003, nearly two years later, Arab parents in Gaza cheered again when their little children dressed up as members of the Ramallah lynch mob, complete with hands painted blood red, for a kindergarten graduation ceremony…
This is the enemy. Don't look away.
Perhaps when another rally is held in support of Iraqi "resistance" or "Palestinian liberation" somewhere in the world, counter-protesters can remind the ever-so-sensitive and progressive demonstrators of Nick Berg's scream of pain, or of two-year-old Meirav Hatuel cowering in her car seat, or of the Ramallah or Fallujah savages dancing with human entrails.
During the lynch of the two IDF soldiers who had taken a wrong turn into Ramallah in 2000, one of the Arab murderers paused in his savage beating to answer a cell phone belonging to one of the dying soldiers.
He told the worried voice on the other end of the line, "We are killing your husband."
When two Israelis were tortured and lynched to death by a Palestinian Arab mob (including Palestinian Authority policemen) in Ramallah in October 2000, Ashrawi justified the murder by falsely claiming that the Israelis were "undercover Israeli agents" who "were clearly infiltrated and planted into the midst of a protest march in the heart of the city." (In fact, the Israelis were driving near the city, took a wrong turn, and were stopped by PA policemen, who arrested them, brought them into the city, and handed them over to the lynch mob.)

Lufthansa Systems will provide comprehensive consulting services during and after the implementation phase.

IBM is in charge of the system integration. iCargo will manage the key business functions of the airline - from sales processes up to the cargo terminal operations functions. The real time availability of operational information through iCargo will help generate actionable intelligence which will vastly improve the overall utilization of assets and improve revenue generation and operational efficiencies.

The solution is the industry leader in Japan as well and is the only non-Japanese system that has full NACCS (Japanese customs) capability and know-how. Fully compliant with IATA initiatives such as Cargo 2000 and e-Freight, the solution fetched IBS the 'IT Provider of the Year 2012' award instituted by Pay Load Asia, Singapore.
"The thorough selection process testifies IBS has a great product, the utmost comprehensive solution, a benchmark setting ROI and has been assessed as the best choice for our initiative. The clear differentiator is the state of the art architecture / technology as well as the skilled employees. Furthermore iCargo is unique in offering consistent process support with its single platform ranging from Sales processes to Handling as well as ULD Management and up to Revenue Accounting.

Your Desk Job Makes You Fat, Sick and Dead [INFOGRAPHIC]
The productivity of the average worker has skyrocketed thanks to technology, but it comes at the price of a sedentary lifestyle. And mounting research suggests that sitting at your desk for eight hours a day can have a dramatic impact on your health.
Don't get me wrong. I burn plenty of calories typing emails. And I make a point to always click and drag through long websites and documents — scroll wheels are for lazy people. But all that strenuous activity pales in comparison to the exercise my forebears did on the job 50 years ago (killing dinosaurs). In the 1960s, nearly half of all jobs required physical activity. Today, less than 20% do. Day to day, you may not see the toll of this. But over lifetimes and large amounts of health data, the effects are pretty staggering.
For example, from 1980 to 2000, the time Americans spent sitting increased by only 8%, while exercise rates stayed the same. The result? Obesity doubled. (The prevalence of processed foods likely plays a role here too, but you get the gist.)
Now, most experts agree that being homeless and not eating are far worse for your health than having a desk job, so don't kick your boss's door in just yet. But the moral of the infographic below (courtesy of OnlineUniversity.net) is that you should pay attention to your sedentary habits, and be sure to take frequent breaks to stand and walk around. And, as obvious people everywhere will tell you, counter-balance your sitting sprees with regular exercise and buckets of vegetables.

Parole granted for man convicted of killing wife
Son speaks out in favor of granting father parole
Nearly 27 years after he pleaded guilty to stabbing his wife several times and killing her, Steven Volkmann was granted parole Thursday.
The family of his wife, Teri Volkmann, has fought the release, but on Thursday, the couple's son, who was 1 year old when his mother was killed, voiced a different opinion.
Steven Volkmann admitted in 1985 to stabbing his estranged wife 23 times with a survival knife and then throwing her down a flight of stairs, leaving her for dead.
The couple's son, Adam Volkmann, defended his father.
"I really think that my father has come a very long way, and he is very deserving of parole," Adam Volkmann said. "He knows that he has done wrong. He knows what he needs to do in order to make things right."
Adam Volkmann and his father's parents spoke in front of the state Parole Board on Thursday, lending their support for Steven Volkmann's release. Steven Volkmann has just about reached his minimum sentence of 27 years in prison.
Steven Volkmann told the Parole Board he is prepared to leave prison and has taken steps to ensure he's ready.
But also speaking was Teri Volkmann's brother, who has fought four previous attempts at early parole.
He asked the board to keep his sister's killer out of Manchester and Goffstown, where family members live.
The board granted that request.
Adam Volkmann said he hopes that everyone can find peace and can come together to honor his mother.
"Obviously, I am a victim too, so I feel their pain, and it's very hard," he said. "It's something that is very hard to deal with. But we have to grow up and start healing."
Over the next two months, Steven Volkmann will get the chance to finish up the requirements of his release. He is scheduled to be out on parole in late November.

Too Bad Nobody Has Danny Tartabull's Home Number
20 years ago today, at 6 PM Eastern Time, a variation of the theme then used for SportsCenter played, a pre-recorded greeting from some tv guys ran, then a man named Tony Lamonica gave the afternoon's NBA and NHL scores, and then Tony Bruno, Chuck Wilson, a gifted team of producers, and little old yours truly signed on ESPN Radio for the first time. And as much as any of us did to launch what was The Worldwide Leader's first real venture outside television, the network in fact owes its chops to…former MLB outfielder Danny Tartabull.
Just five days earlier I had been sitting in the sun on the balcony of my home in Beverly Hills, planning even more sitting in the sun to fill the three month interregnum between the end of my duties as sports director at KCBS-TV in LA, and my scheduled start on the 11 PM SportsCenter at the end of March, when the phone rang. It was my agent telling me that my new bosses were premiering their new enterprise on Saturday and Tony and Chuck were great and the staff was great but good grief they'd decided to try to do seven hours a night of interviews and score updates starting on Saturday and they had no third host and nobody in Bristol had any real radio experience other than Charley Steiner and he was too busy and please, please, please, could I just fly back and do the opening two weekends and then go to Hawaii?
I calculated quickly. I knew that if I saved his heinie on this one, my new boss John Walsh would always think of me as a team player.
Yeah, that's exactly the way that worked out.
The first night was grueling and claustrophobic (we were broadcasting from what had been ABC Radio's studio at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo; it barely fit three people at a time and when the update guy came in one of us hosts had to leave – or in the ever-entertaining Bruno's case, lie on the floor under the desk). But by the second night we began to hit a stride. The big non-game news of the weekend was the heavy pursuit of the top remaining free agent in that winter's baseball market (31/100/.316/.990 OPS) and producers Bruce Murray and John Martin had lined up several guests from the teams Tartabull was reportedly about to visit with.
I can't remember the details but I think we had gotten the hint earlier in the evening that one of those meetings had been unexpectedly postponed. But I remember clearly that then-Rangers Manager Bobby Valentine was a live guest some time around 8:00 ET and I asked him about my understanding that he was heading out to the airport in the morning with Texas management to pick up Tartabull and show him the Metroplex. "Not any more," said Bobby-V. "The thing just got canceled. I've got the feeling he's just signed with somebody, and from what I gather, it's an east coast team." Suddenly we had a real story to chase, and we began putting on anybody we could from baseball to give us whatever scraps of information they had. I remember specifically the late Lou Gorman, still General Manager of the Red Sox, rather forlornly confirming that he too had had a Tartabull meeting canceled and that if Tartabull had signed with an east coast team, it wasn't Boston.
I took several of the segments off to work my baseball contacts via the phone. I had a pretty good one with a strong connection to Tartabull who said he could confirm that Tartabull had indeed decided on a new team, but he hadn't been able to get to his own source who would definitively knew who it was. So for several hours – and remember we stayed on the air until 1 AM Eastern – we could only report that "ESPN Radio has learned Danny Tartabull has decided which team he's going to sign with." A pretty good start for a journalistic operation not yet two days old, but frankly, missing a couple of vital details.
By now you're thinking: Good old Keith, tooting his horn about a crappy story he played a minor part in breaking 20 years ago. Actually, no. Because what followed was one of the dumbest moments of my life, one of those times when, like Elmer Fudd in the Bugs Bunny cartoons you feel yourself turning into a giant Tootsie Roll Pop with a wrapper reading "SUCKER."
John "Chief" Martin, Tony, Chuck, other staffers, and I, continued to bang our head against the Tartabull wall for hours. Finally, some time around 11 PM John – a friend of mine since I was 20 years old – said, almost rhetorically, "It's just too (expletive) bad nobody has Danny (expletive) Tartabull's home (expletive) number."
That's when I went all Elmer Fudd Sucker.
"Um, Chief?," I said to him, defining the term 'sheepishly.' "I have Danny's home (expletive) number. It's in my address bo0k in my bag, if you'd just hand me my bag."
My last two years at KCBS in Los Angeles had coincided with the network's first two years carrying the Game of The Week, and the post-season. While the television schedule destroyed kids' access to the sport in most of the country, on the West Coast it meant World Series games almost always ended before 9 PM. Our local station used to make a fortune putting on long, and I must say, pretty damn good, pre- and post-game shows for the Playoffs and World Series. And each post-season we'd invite active players in as co-hosts. MLB Network's Joe Magrane got his start that way. Wally Joyner and Rick Dempsey joined me one year. And so, just three months earlier, had Southern California's own Danny Tartabull.
And I'd forgotten that we'd swapped numbers.
I kept getting his answering machine. Finally, just as our final hour of ESPN Radio began, he picked up. Unfortunately I was literally in the tiny, bathosphere-like studio, trying not to be heard as Tony and Chuck updated the audience on all we knew of the Tartabull Drama. "Well, if you've eliminated the Mets and the Phillies and the Red Sox and the Rangers," Danny said through laughter, "then who do you think is left?" I said I had apparently become so stupid that for four hours I had forgotten I had his phone number, so he better just tell me. "Pinstripes. Team wears pinstripes." I reminded him the Expos wore pinstripes. "Are you coming to Ft. Lauderdale for spring training? Then you'll see me in the home dugout." We did a bit of a verbal kabuki about the length of the deal and the approximate financial terms, then I tried to pitch him on going on the air and announcing it himself and he said he knew I was crazy but he didn't think I was that crazy, but that we could report it from sources close to Danny Tartabull. I congratulated him and we hung up.
Moments later I had the opportunity to go on the radio network and announce that we'd learned Danny Tartabull had agreed to a whatever-year contract for approximately alotta million with the New York Yankees. The story was quickly quoted by the Associated Press, and made it out in time to reach the front page of USA Today. And most importantly for the network's future, my future partner Dan Patrick and his then co-host Bob Ley had to re-tape part of the late Sunday edition of SportsCenter which would play all night and all the following morning. And when Bob originally wrote "ESPN has learned…" management was quite specific with him. "No. You have to say ESPN Radio has learned…" to which an unnamed tv producer moaned, "Oh, great, now we have to worry about being scooped by them."
No good deed goes unpunished. Goosed by the publicity that the Tartabull story got us – as clean a scoop as I've ever been involved with – we started picking up affiliates and credibility. And when I had fulfilled my promise to management to stay for the first two weekends just to get Radio started, they came back to me and said 'How can you leave now? This is your baby, too.'
So instead of going to Hawaii for two-and-a-half-months, I went back to Los Angeles for two weeks to pack up my place, and return to Bristol to enjoy the height of its most Hawaii-like month: February!

Another great story, but it's the subtext that tells the real story this time. Stay the course, Keith…whatever that may be. 😉
Hey Shoe! You are right. Just like KO. He is in the right place at the right time with the right info…whether he knows it or not! Charmed, he is. Like my pal Toby says about me…horseshoe up the a**! Miss you, gal!
Thoroughly entertaining and an important piece of broadcast history.
I'm glad you're gonna keep doing what you do. I know you'd like to have the reespct that a media credential would bring, but I also know that you do what you do because you love the Rockies and you love baseball. Perhaps someday you will be rewarded with that reespct and credential, but in the meantime I know you do it because you love coming up those steps from Gate A and seeing batting cages on the sunny field. I know you do it because you love the hunt for batting practice balls, and snagging them over the guy who wasn't quite fast enough. I know you do it because you love getting action shots from different parts of the stadium, and sharing them with readers who weren't lucky enough to be in the moment. I know you do it because you love the camaraderie of Rox fans and sitting in the Pavilion eating a hotdog and watching our boys do their thing on the field while the sun goes down on a warm July evening. And because of those things, I know you'll keep doing what you do, which is it's own reward. And ours.
Keith, I was honored to be part of the team with you, Chuck & Tony, Bruce & Chief! I also remember an early show where everyone was trying to get hold of Fay Vincent, but nobody had his number in their Rolodex. One of the PAs decided to check the Greenwich phone book, and there he was, listed! He was live on the radio within minutes.
Hard to believe 20 years have passed.
Can anyone get me Jose Tartabull's number? I've always liked his image on my '63 Topps……
Is it ok to ask here what's going on you and Current?
the old days at ESPN…I lived down the street from ESPN…in the early 80's…maybe we bumped into each other and didnt know it. Its grown so much since the tractor pulls of the early 80's
It's too bad Mr. Tartabull hasn't complied with his child support order. See website.

ODU Remains Unbeaten With 73-41 Win Over Liberty
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 19, 2009
LYNCHBURG, Va. - Junior forward Keyon Carter (Riviera Beach, FL.) scored a career-high tying 17 points to lead the Monarchs of Old Dominion (3-0) to a 73-41 win over Liberty University Thursday evening.
The 17 points by Carter equaled last year's output against William & Mary and The Citadel. The junior was seven-for-eight from the floor and a perfect three-for-three from beyond three-point range.
At one stretch, Carter had scored more points than the Flames.
The game marked the third 30-plus margin of victory in as many games for the Monarchs. Marsharee Neely (Greensboro, NC.) added 11 points and Gerald Lee hauled down eight rebounds in the win. The Monarchs shot .508 (31-61) from the field, while holding the Flames to a .277 (13-47) shooting night. Old Dominion also dominated the boards, 42-28.
All 11 Monarchs played and all but one scored. ODU led by as much as 36 with eight minutes left on a Trian Iliadis (Perth, Western Australia) trey making it 60-24. Iliadis finished the night with six points, while freshman Chris Cooper tied his career-high with eight points.
The Monarchs led 5-4 early before running off 11 consecutive points, capped by a Kent Bazemore (Kelford, NC.).break-away dunk. After a Liberty basket, ODU then went on a 13-0 run to take a 29-6 lead with 4:55 remaining in the first half. In all, ODU went on a 24-2 run and held the Flames to only one field goal in a 12:16 span.
Bazemore finished with eight points, while junior guard Darius James (Virginia Beach, Va.) dished out a season high seven assists.
In the second half, the Monarchs kept the pressure on with a 10-0 run to start the half. Liberty did not hit its first three-point field goal until the 6:06 mark of the second half. The Flames were 1-15 from behind the arc.
The Monarchs return home to take on Marshall, Saturday at the Ted Constant Convocation Center at 7 p.m. It will be ODU's fourth game in seven days.

I'm sailing down a County Road in a banged-up mini van, three kids behind me, three cups of juice. I've got all the trappings - diapers, hats, the miscellaneous toys that slink out to the car when no one's looking. From the very edge of my rear-view mirror I see a far-away look in the chocolate-almond eyes of my oldest. His cheek rests against the cool of the pane, he's quiet. He's moments away from a needle in his arm and he's done it hundreds of times before, but he's older now, and the older you are, the more you know. And sometimes, the more you know, the more things hurt.
It sounds like the beginning of a sad story, but look again.
We sail on, sail on. We sail past two houses that not long ago I pictured myself in. Both were plucked up by quicker, less-encumbered hands. And that's alright.
I slide a cd into the player and I am swept away.
I'm 15 years old, playing hide-and-seek. There's a boy I know and I want him to find me. I stay quiet, hunkered down low, because that's how the game is played, but I can't help myself from peeking my right eye around the edge of the door. I'm right here.
We don't say much when we're around each other
I wish you'd tell me how you feel
We do so much dancing around each other
Won't you reach out and pull me in?
And then I'm 16, and I'm just barely beginning to understand that life is stretched out in front of me like a liquid furl of satin ribbon. I think back to last Summer's sticky end and wish I could just go back there, where life was lived. Now, I spend my days stacking boxes on the slick surfaces of the scale. One for my side, two for yours. I tip over and start again.
But just like a little child
I hide behind a clever line
You take the pencil
I've been holding much too tight
The van is still quiet. It seems even two-year olds understand the hallowed significance of the first rainy prelude to Spring.
We sail through a tunnel of apple trees, a naked orchard ripe with possibility, and my heart spills over and I cannot help but smile. And I know. I know what this means.
I flew back to my past on the flag of a quarter-note. I was there...and I was here. I grazed the curve of that full circle with the flat of my hand and felt for myself that there were no cracks, no breaks.
I was loved back then, when life was so hard, in a pretend sort of way.
I am loved right now, in my banged up mini van.
Consider this. Consider that the next time you feel your heart spill over in a moment so utterly ordinary, it's the Love of God filtering through like moonlight, illuminating, making a way for you. There's just no other option. You may not believe me, you may not feel it or even want to. But the next time it happens, just stretch out your hand. Dare it to come nearer.
