Great Goblin
|Great Goblin
|Biographical Information
|Physical Description
The Great Goblin was the chief of the Goblins who dwelt in Goblin-town beneath the High Pass in the Misty Mountains. He was described as "tremendous" and had a huge head.[1]
In T.A. 2941[2] his warriors captured Thorin and Company when they were crossing the Misty Mountains and took refuge in a cave. When the Dwarves and Bilbo were hauled before the Great Goblin he questioned them regarding their intentions, while accusing them of being spies, thieves, murderers, and friends of Elves. When one of his guards showed the Great Goblin Thorin's sword Orcrist he howled with rage and rushed at Thorin with open mouth. At that moment all of the lights in the cave were extinguished and a flashing sword stabbed right through the Gobins' leader. Soon the company learned that it was Gandalf who killed the Great Goblin with his blade Glamdring.[1]
It was the death of the Great Goblin that tickled Beorn's fancy enough to gain the Company access to his hall and dinner. Once Beorn confirmed their tale he warmed up to true friendship and provided the party with aid, advice, and mounts to ride to the border of Mirkwood.[3]
A further consequence of the Great Goblin's demise was a rekindling of the goblins' fury towards Dwarves, which led to preparations for war to secure domination of the North. The goblins assembled at Mount Gundabad and were about to sweep southward when they learned of the death of Smaug. Altering their plans, the goblins marched by night through the mountains and appeared unexpectedly at Erebor, almost immediately after the arrival of Dáin Ironfoot, and precipitated the Battle of Five Armies.[4]

A "Recruiting for IT Talent" survey of U.S. companies conducted by Monster, a worldwide leader in successfully connecting people to job opportunities and flagship brand of Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW), revealed a large majority of employers who hire for IT professionals are likely to hire in the next 60 days. Their hiring activity is primarily driven by staff increases (60 percent) and company expansion (45 percent).
Employers of all sizes are focused on IT roles that support aligning business and technology goals with primary hiring needs; this includes application development (72 percent), database analysis and development (58 percent), Web design/development (57 percent), networking (56 percent), and business intelligence/analytics (55 percent).
"The demand for IT expertise remains relatively stable with employers confident that they will look to fill these types of roles in the near-term," said Jeffrey Quinn, vice president of Monster's Global Insights. "Meanwhile, on the job seeker side, the IT jobs viewed on Monster see millions of views each month, indicating high interest by, if not volume of potential candidates seeking employment in this field."
While the survey revealed nearly one-half (49 percent) of employers were confident in their ability to find the talent they need for all these roles, some hiring challenges remain, including:
More than one-half (53 percent) of employers responded that there are fewer IT professionals searching for jobs in the U.S. And, nearly half of employers (48 percent) believe IT jobs continue to be outsourced to other countries, a contributing factor to a shrinking number of U.S.-based IT jobs to be available.
For those who may be seeking employment in the IT fields, it's important to note that the majority of employers (92 percent) feel that careers in IT are promising and rewarding. Additionally these companies believe academic training is not enough (40 percent) while certifications provide an advantage (85 percent). Employers also report that qualifications beyond technical skills that are critical to the assessment of IT talent include communication skills, personality/cultural fit, type of work experience and interpersonal skills.

Looking to hit around the Bethesda area weekends or an evening, perhaps at Cabin John.
I'm a 36 year old British guy. We could also discuss Andy Murry's inevitable world domination.

Hey Simon, I could probably play this Saturday morning (I'm also around a 3.5 level). I live in North Bethesda (Grosvenor Park) and have courts at my building that are never crowded, or I could also play anywhere in the Bethesda/Rockville/Potomac area.
Hi Roger
Saturday morning is a good time for me.
What about 9.30 am This saturday?

Hi Simon,
I was rated 4.0 in my mid-twenties, a decade ago or so now. I live in Rockville, but Cabin John is convenient for me. I enjoy playing sets, but just hitting around or doing drills or whatever is also fine. Let me know if you are still looking for people.
Eager to hit with you and patiently explain why world domination is not in the cards for Andy Murray.

Story highlights
- A mother's Facebook plea for help in scattering son's ashes becomes an international effort
- From the Grand Canyon to the Caribbean to Australia, C.J.'s ashes are spread
- Many of those scattering ashes have been affected by suicide or have outlived their children
For more than three years, Hallie Twomey has struggled with the suicide of her 20-year-old son, C.J. She searched his belongings for a note with a clue of what tormented him. She sought counseling and attended support groups. Nothing helped, she said.
Now, a plea initially to Facebook friends throughout the United States to help C.J. "see the mountains that he never got to climb, see the vast oceans that he would have loved, see tropical beaches and lands far and away" by scattering his ashes has turned into an international effort. Strangers from India to Jamaica are spreading his ashes in tribute to the adventurous young man. A separate Facebook page called "Scattering CJ" has more than 4,000 likes.
"How do you say thank you for that?" Twomey asked in an interview with CNN. "It's been so much and so amazing but I'd give it all back if I could have C.J. It doesn't go past me that it's Christmas, and holidays are so hard for us. I just wish I had him and none of this."
Still, the outpouring of support since her "Scattering CJ" page went up November 11 has been a source of comfort. On Facebook, the pictures and videos chronicle the places: From the Grand Canyon to the Caribbean, from Australia to Morocco, C.J.'s ashes have been spread.
"Quite frankly, I spent the first two weeks doing nothing but crying," Twomey, of Auburn, Maine, said. "I just wasn't prepared for what people were sharing and how somebody who has absolutely no connection to me could be affected."
Along with the ashes, Twomey sends a note and a small photo of C.J. in a Boston Red Sox T-shirt. His ashes have even been scattered at Fenway Park, home of his favorite team. His mother asks the recipient to think about her son and the people he helped through organ donation. She also asks that in their thoughts, they remind him that "Mom and Dad love him, and that Mom is sorry."
Many of those scattering the ashes have also been affected by suicide or have outlived their children, she said.
"I'm so touched," she said. "I've lost all faith in pretty much anything since C.J. died. I don't pray anymore. I'm just not spiritual. I think this was such an effort for me to put my faith -- not to be dramatic -- in mankind. That's been wonderful."
For three and half years, Twomey said, she has regretted the argument she had with her son moments before he stormed out of their home and shot himself in his car.
"C.J. and I fought terribly literally two seconds before he put a gun to his head and my last words to him were not nice," she said. "I didn't tell him I loved him. I didn't hug him."
Twomey said C.J. had been upset about not making an Air Force special forces team. After being honorably discharged, he returned home.
"He seemed OK," she said. "I didn't see any major life changes or severe depression."
More than 150 packets, each containing a small portion of ashes, have gone out so far, with 300 other people offering to extend C.J.'s journey. She has spent nearly $600 on postage, Twomey said.
"My biggest fear was that C.J. would be forgotten and every time somebody writes a comment or offers to take him on this journey, he's being thought of," she said. "That's so powerful."

TWENTY years ago today the country was left reeling when an intruder burst into a classroom in Middlesbrough and stabbed 12-year-old Nikki Conroy to death.
Paranoid schizophrenic Stephen James Wilkinson killed Nikki and seriously injured two of her classmates when he held a maths class hostage at Hall Garth School in 1994.
- Northern Echo journalist Joanna Morris who was in the classroom as Wilkinson carried out his horrific attack, recalls the day that changed her life forever
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIC: Stephen James Wilkinson
In a confessional found at the scene, Wilkinson wrote of his desire to destroy young lives, saying: "I imagine the deaths of young maidens slain in a room choked with desks."
Although he tragically succeeded in robbing the world of one bright schoolgirl, the successes of the Hall Garth survivors 20 years on stand in defiance of his twisted ambition.
Wilkinson was convicted of manslaughter and detained for life at a secure hospital.
Here, Nikki's schoolmates share their stories.
Carolyne's story: Ordeal shaped rest of our lives
A childhood friend of Nikki's, Carolyne Morris now works as a teacher in America and is expecting her first child.
The incident at Hall Garth inspired Carolyne's career and taught her to value life.
She said: "That morning I walked to school with Nikki and she walked upstairs to maths saying she'd see me after school.
"Not long later, a teacher ran into our class and told us to get out. We were evacuated to the school field and watched other pupils coming out with bloodstained shirts. We were stuck in a nightmare.
"That day changed us all, it made us grow up so fast. It's only since I've been teaching that I've realised just how young we were to have dealt with something so emotional.
"The way our teachers supported us, protected us and managed the situation, getting us back into school and dealing with pupils sometimes in hysterics had an impact on me and what I wanted to do with my life - I knew I wanted to help kids.
"It also taught me to live life every day because you never know what is going to happen. Nikki and I had been friends since we were seven - one minute she was there and the next she was gone forever.
"Friends and family mean more to me than anything and I make sure they know that."
Cindy's story: I'm proof trauma can be beaten
Radiologist Cindy Rangi says she is proof that trauma can be beaten The incident saw Cindy plunged into a depression that haunted her for years - it also gave her the impetus to live life to the full.
Now a radiologist working at the top of her field, she wants to inspire others to seize the day.
She said: "Going through something as traumatic and life changing as we did means you will end up with psychological issues.
"But what kept me going was that I was lucky to have my life. It would be unjust not to live it.
"Now I have a little girl of my own, life finally makes sense.
"My outlook on the events of 20 years ago is don't live life with regrets, pursue your dreams because you don't know when it all might end.
"People say these things but I'm proof of following through with it."
Sarah's story: With the correct care, it could have been avoided
Forensic nurse Sarah (name changed for professional reasons) believes her work could help prevent other atrocities.
She says: "Something like that never leaves you but it gave me drive and compassion and my work has given me a better understanding of what happened.
"For years I struggled to understand how he could do it but now I see schizophrenia on a daily basis and accept that he was not looked after and slipped through the net.
"People will find it hard to understand but I don't blame him for what we went through, I accept he was ill and question why he was allowed to get so unwell that he could commit such a crime.
"I don't feel sorry for him but I think he was neglected and feel the incident could have been prevented if he had the correct care.
"Now I make sure I never turn a patient away - I fear they could go away and hurt themselves or something could happen that I could have prevented.
"If this incident could bring about anything positive, I'd hope it could bring more awareness of schizophrenia as that could have helped both him and us as we struggled to deal with understanding what happened that day."

Blake Lively refuses to strip for films
Actress BLAKE LIVELY has ruled out stripping off for a film role as she finds nudity in movies distracting.
The Gossip Girl star has made a successful transition to the big screen since shooting to fame on the TV series in 2008.
However, she makes it clear to directors that she will keep covered up in all of her projects.
She tells Style magazine, "When I see nudity in movies, I am always distracted by it. I know that if I am watching a scene and someone has their boobs out, then that's all I'm looking at - I can't help it.
"I just don't think that will ever be right for me."

MIDDLEBURY — More than a hundred people fanned out across an open field east of Middlebury's Porter Hospital on Saturday, kicking through dead grass, looking for a trace of missing Middlebury College freshman Nicholas Garza.
"My son had on jeans, he had on a long-sleeved, red, button-down shirt and he has a size 12 tennis shoe on," his mother, Natalie Garza, told the crowd of volunteer searchers packed into the bleachers at Kenyon Arena before they began the full-day search. "His cell phone, wallet, his badge to his room have not been found."
Searchers made their way north from the hospital grounds to Mr. Up's Restaurant — some searched the Otter Creek from kayaks — turning up nothing more than a few articles of clothing that didn't match Garza's profile.
Leading the search was Gary Peterson, an investigator for the Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner's Office who consulted on the Garza case in March as part of Texas EquuSearch, a private search and rescue organization. He returned to Middlebury at the suggestion of Nan O'Brien, a Vermont medium and spiritual advisor working with the Garza family. O'Brien previously helped Peterson with a case in Iowa.
Nick Garza was last seen leaving a Middlebury College dorm on the night of Feb. 5. He has not contacted any family or friends, and it does not appear that he was unhappy in Middlebury. Local police have headed up the investigation and previous searches that have included sixteen organizations, more than 200 search personnel, two helicopters, two airplanes and 13 search dogs.
According to Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley, Saturday's volunteer search organized by Natalie Garza, covered very little ground that hadn't already been searched.

BRISTOL — The Bristol community got a chance to give an earful to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) and representatives of the Lathrop Limited Partnership about plans for a gravel pit south of downtown Bristol.
Some area residents spoke up to support Lathrop's plans for a pit saying it would provide a needed resource — gravel — and its risks are overstated. But almost all members of the public who addressed the board feared its effects on its neighbors and the area.
"I can't imagine how heavy industry can be allowed in an area not zoned for heavy industry," Bristol resident Charles Manning told the board.
The plan to open the gravel pit began with an application in 2003 by the family of James Lathrop. The ZBA approved the plan in 2004, but a group calling itself Smart Growth for Bristol, founded by Bristol resident John Moyers and represented by local lawyer James Dumont, appealed that decision. After various hearings in Vermont Environmental Court, Lathrop Limited Partnership in August 2007 filed a new plan with a number of changes, including an access road via Rounds Road.
Opponents of the plan have waited awhile to weigh in on the latest proposal. Tuesday's hearing followed two other ZBA hearings — one in November and one in March — at which there was only enough time for comments from those involved in building and operating the proposed pit. An estimated 30 to 40 Bristol residents attended Tuesday's meeting, as well as a few from surrounding towns. About 20 people spoke at the hearing.
Manning, who has visited the Bristol area for decades and recently bought a house on Lower Notch Road, said he was dismayed when he learned about the plan and its effect on the neighborhood. He has not been alone in questioning whether the parcel was zoned for a gravel pit.

MIDDLEBURY — Developers of a proposed Staples store off Route 7 South will have to make their project less of a potential contributor to area traffic congestion and more in conformance with Middlebury's town plan if it is to advance further through the community's permitting process.
The Middlebury Development Review Board (DRB) issued those and other findings on Tuesday in its preliminary review of a 14,737-square-foot Staples store that Myron Hunt Inc. wants to build next to the Hannaford Supermarket portion of The Centre shopping plaza.
"This is not a final decision," Middlebury Town Planner Fred Dunnington stressed of the DRB report. "It identifies things that need to happen if the project is going to proceed. It lays out the process to take the project to the next step."
The next steps for Myron Hunt Inc., according to the DRB report, will be to:
• Submit a master plan and narrative, showing — among other things — how traffic circulating in an around the project site will not only affect The Centre shopping plaza, but adjacent properties across Route 7 and on Middle Road.
• Demonstrate how the project can conform to specific provisions of the Middlebury town plan. For example, the town plan already identifies the stretch of Court Street/Route 7 from Creek Road to Boardman Street as an "area … not appropriate for new or expanded large-scale shopping mall development, similar to the existing Hannaford Plaza to the south."
• Adhere to an existing agreement that The Centre would work with adjoining property owners (the Dollar Market, and the Mobil station, owned by Jolley Associates) to link their respective parking lots to improve traffic flow.

The friendship of the other Rhode Island team developed from work. Stravato and Naylor are both drug-enforcement detectives. Stravato works in Providence; Naylor in Newport. And how they came to be on the show is revealing of Rhode Islanders apparent predisposition for reality TV stardom. Stravato and Naylor were invited. Actually, Stravato was invited and then invited Naylor to join him.Being a non-trusting person and knowing how police officers torture each other, I didnt believe him, Naylor says.A couple of years ago, Stravato, a longtime reality TV watcher, applied to be a contestant on Survivor.They liked me, but not enough, Stravato says. They said theyd keep me in mind.Eighteen months later a casting representative from The Amazing Race who saw Stravatos Survivor audition tape e-mailed him, inviting him to audition and to pick a team partner.We still had to go through the whole process, Stravato says.So Stravato and Naylor filled out an application and sent in an audition tape. Then, last summer, they were invited to California for a one-week audition.It was physical and psychological testing, Naylor says.It was intense, Stravato says.Other people auditioning, Naylor noticed, were plotting about how to behave to impress the shows producers.We just went on and were ourselves, Naylor says. And it worked.Personality is what prevails. Thats Stravatos theory.Mike and I are characters. We stuck out. They saw our video. They saw we were crazy. Its good TV.Although Stravato and Naylor are fitness fanatics, they intensified their workouts to prepare for the show, adding running and rock climbing to their regular gym regimen. And they also analyzed the show, which involves overcoming physical and logistical obstacles in a race around the world.I watched shows with my son and Id sit there screaming at these people, These guys are idiots! Why did they do that? Naylor says. I watched every episode. I studied them like they were homework assignments.To personality add perseverance. This is apparently what the show looks for in contestants. But the show doesnt say that.Theyre chosen because theyre just a real cross section of America, says Phil Keoghan, the shows host, on its Web site.
Louis D. Stravato, a Rhode Island Police Officer Who Appears on the Current Season of The Amazing Race, Has Been Relegated To Desk Duty After a Drug InvestigationA report from TMZ states that Louis Stravato, a Rhode Island police officer competing on the latest season of "The Amazing Race," has been put on desk duty due to an internal investigation regarding a drug ring run by police officers.According to Rhode Island Police, Louie Stravato's name "came up" in an investigation into a cocaine ring run by cops. Three officers were arrested in connection with the Rhode Island cop drug ring. Stravato was not among those arrested. He was, however, one of four officers relegated to desk duty after the investigation.Who is Louie Stravato?Louis Stravato is a Providence police officer who is competing on The Amazing Race along with Michael Naylor, a detective in Newport, RI. Both men work in drug enforcement.In his spare time, Louie Stravato competes in power lifting competitions and mixed martial arts. Stravato has described himself as a huge reality TV fan. He had auditioned to be a contestant on Survivor, which led to his participation in The Amazing Race. According to the Louie Bravato Bio on the CBS website, he has won "numerous awards for being a police officer."Louie Stravato and Michael Naylor won the latest stage of the Amazing Race, which aired Sunday, March 7. Another Rhode Island pair, Dan and Jordan Pious, are also competing in the Amazing Race this season.
It sounds ridiculous but after tonight's episode my suspicions from the first leg are confirmed: This is my least favorite team.
i love their friendship, their determination to come from behind, their let's do it attitude, their humor, and Louie with his "my cardio sucks!" Looking forward to seeing more!

Celebrating time
Good evening ♥ First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas no matter where you are, together with your families and friends. I barely managed to relax and have some free time but in the end everything was amazing, even more because I can`t find a better way to relax, than in bed, watching the lights of the wonderful Christmas Tree after some wonderful hours spent with my family and friends.
For today I have prepared another winter outfit that is suitable for different occasions that may occur during these days. The entire outfit was made by me so you can also order it by sending an email at: firstname.lastname@example.com and the touch was added by the wonderful accessories and the Luxury collection ALBERTINE`S for YVY Bags ♥
I think that the sequins are enough so the accessories remained simple and yet extremely chic.
I hope you like it and maybe you can be inspired for your next outfits.
Kisses, Manuella ♥

The magic of Christmas
Good evening! Since outside is not snowing or raining anymore I was able to wear items that are not extremely big and not so good looking :D As you all know I am a summer lover and the cold weather is not between the things I love but when we talk about Christmas well is a different story :D
The most wonderful thing about it is the part when we receive gifts hahah. I`m a bit mean because I also love to surprise the loved ones with wonderful gifts that will bring a smile on their face and also I love to decorate the Christmas Tree but I will wait until the Christmas Eve as I already mentioned ♥ And going back to receiving gift, well I have to tell you that this bag, oh this bag was supposed to be a surprise but I completely ruined it and I couldn`t wait more to wear it after I discovered it :D Awesome, right? haha
I hope you`ll have a wonderful day
Kisses, Manuella ♥

Sequins and Love ♥
Good evening loves ♥
Today I will show you another outfit that is suitable for this period of the year. I can`t get enough, I know, but for me December is the most beautiful winter month. Everything around me seems to be much more beautiful. It would have been better if this change would could last the entire year, but at least there is hope that we can stop being so mean with each other and see the beauty in everybody.
Also I decided to show you this outfit and not a casual one, mostly because for me each Sunday is kept special. Even if tomorrow is Monday, for me is the perfect day to relax enjoy the small things like cooking and watching a movie at home and also to reflect and see how I can improve everything that I`ve done.
So I hope that you can also enjoy your day and let`s start the new week in a positive manner and I can`t wait to have my own Christmas Tree but I will wait until Christmas Eve ♥ It brings a different feeling and it reminds me of my childhood ...
Kisses, Manuella ♥

Christmas Tree dilema ♥
Girls, today I want to talk a bit about the Christmas Tree :D I know that for some of you it is a bit early but I know that the others were to excited to wait and already made it, right?
I must confess, that I`m part of the first group: I love the decorate it on the Christmas Eve and to listen specifics songs. I know that is not really in the benefit of the earth but for sure I will go for a natural one because I love the smell that spreads in the entire house. My doubt is what color combo to pick: red and gold, blue and silver, white and purple... so many combinations and only one choice.
I need some help...what should I pick? Any suggestions?
About the outfit it`s just one of my crazy ideas. This dress was made to feel comfy and yet to have that something. What do you think? And because it is a bit cold outside my old pair of over the knees boots made the perfect match. Can`t wait to hear you impressions ♥
Over the knee boots: Old and I forgot the exact link :D Sorry

Is the season to be Jolly....
Hi loves ♥ Lately outside is so cold that I can barely find the courage to go outside and enjoy the day...brr I don`t like it and I also don`t like to wear to many items because in the end I will probably look like a balloon.
Anyway, for me this is like the perfect combo when it comes to cold weather. A fluffy Cardigan, something black at the bottom and the perfect bag, with which I can confess that I`m madly, truly and deeply in love ♥
Yes, I have a bag addiction lately and it seems that the high heels are now my second choice when it comes to shopping. Weird, right? But, you know, at 2-3 bags, I can still have a pair of new high heels :))
And the bag situation, well, I posted more pictures about my addiction to the black Yvy bag on blog, facebook and instagram. Until a few days ago, it was a bit complicated to have yours, but now thei have their own online shop where you can go and surf for gorgeous and yet extremely qualitative leather bags: I have my first bag for almost 1 year and believe me is in perfect condition. You can see for yourself more HERE .
I hope you like it and stay tuned because there are more to come,
Kisses, Manuella ♥

White Winter Mood
Good Morning loves ♥ I know you kind of missed me lately and I`m happy to receive all your wonderful emails asking when I will come back on blog with new outfit posts! Well, here I am with a new outfit post and I am really ok, but lately I was a bit busy with my well known passion: sending all the orders to all of you in time, creating some new items that I hope you`ll love especially for the Holidays, preparing a new photo shooting and also searching for wonderful places that I will be soon revealed where you can go and prepare for the Christmas Party and for the New Years Eve ♥ After the success that the nails and hair posts I thought it will be a very good idea, right? :D
I hope you`ll enjoy everything I have prepared for you and stay tuned because more interesting posts will follow :D
I wish you a wonderful week
Kisses, Manuella ♥

Maid of honor speech or that for the matron of honor is one of the most significant events in a wedding. If you are donning the responsibilities of a maid of honor speech or a matron of honor speech then you certainly would want to get the speech right. First, there is a need to understand the subtle difference between maid of honor and a matron of honor. A maid of honor is the best friend or a sister of the bride who is unmarried. A matron of honor is a close friend, sister or a relative of the bride who has been married. Almost every bride would have a maid of honor but it is often seen that a maid of honor is also accompanied by a matron of honor. The reason to know the difference is to get the ideal speech for the couple and what would perfectly suit you. Since there is a difference in the marital status, there are a few things that can be penned down in a maid of honor speech but not in that of the matron of honor and vice versa.
Writing the ideal maid of honor speech or that of matron of honor requires four important steps.
• The moment you get to know that you would have to prepare the maid of honor speech, you must start working on it. A matron of honor or maid of honor speech must never be left for the last minute. If you think you can be spontaneous on the big day or night and pull things off then it's a different story otherwise you have to start working.
• A maid of honor speech or that of matron of honor has the sole purpose of honoring the couple and talking about good things. You must make a list of everything that you may or may not want to include. Details such as how the couple met, what they like in each other, what their collective wishes are and things like that would certainly make it to the final maid of honor speech.
• Speaking with the bride is a great idea. She might have some suggestions or reservations and knowing that would ensure that the maid of honor speech makes the most special person happy on her day.
• It is not unwise for the matron of honor to speak with the best mate on his speech. If a maid of honor speech complements that of the best mate's, the collective impact will be profuse.

Home > Health Library > Ideas to Help You Cut Back On or Stop Using Alcohol
If you think you might be dependent on alcohol, talk with your doctor before trying to stop drinking.
If you are dependent on alcohol, you should stop drinking, not just cut back. If you are dependent, you might develop severe withdrawal symptoms if you stop drinking on your own.
Whether you are dependent on alcohol or not, or whether you are trying to cut back or quit, the first thing to do is get support. Ask your doctor, family, and friends to help you reach your goal.
Here are some ideas that may help you succeed.
Most importantly, do not give up. Most people do not cut down on or give up drinking all at once. This is okay. If you do not reach your goal the first time, try again.

NOTE: This help page applies to both LifeTopix (and other classic LightArrow apps) as well as to LightArrow Organizer for iOS and Mac. So, the screenshots and directions may vary slightly based on the app you're using.
Perform regular backups of your LightArrow app data using the methods described below:
- Restore From iTunes Backup
- Restore From Inbox
- Online Backup (Recommended Twice a Week)
- Email Backup (Recommended Twice a Month)
- iTunes Backup (Optional if online backups are not preferred)
- Restore From Online Backup
- Backup Reminder
When you perform an Email Backup operation, all of your core LightArrow data at that point in time is saved in a file and sent to an email address which you specify. "Core data" is defined as all data except audio clips, photos, videos, and local documents. Before you can backup your data via email, you must specify an email address as described below. Then, simply tap Email Backup to initiate a backup operation. A pop-up dialog appears indicating that a new backup file will be created and emailed.
How to specify a backup email address:
- In the Backup, Restore & Sync view, tap Backup email address.
- Type the email address you wish to send the backup to.
- You are now ready to perform an Email Backup by tapping Email Backup.
How to perform an email backup:
- Ensure you set up a backup email address in the Backup, Restore & Sync view.
- Simply tap Email Backup to initiate a backup operation. A pop-up dialog appears indicating that a new backup file will be created and emailed.
- Cancel the operation, or tap OK to proceed. Tap Send to send the backup to the email as directed.
The following screenshots show you how to do an email backup
If your device has no network access when you perform an Email Backup operation, the outgoing message is placed in your Outbox. When access to a network is restored, this email is sent automatically.
The Backup/Sync online folder field contains the cloud location to which your LightArrow app backup is sent when you perform an Online Backup operation. This location is a directory to an online file service such as Dropbox or Box. If no value is set, you cannot perform an Online Backup. Note that the backup file is not encrypted, so consider security when choosing the target cloud location for the backup.
How to set an online backup folder:
- In the Backup, Restore, and Sync view, tap Backup/Sync online folder.
- If you previously set up online folders, they will be available from your selection.
- If you wish to set up new folders, tap New.
- In the New Online Folder view, tap File Service and choose the Cloud Vendor (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) you wish to use. We recommend the Dropbox option.
- In the Email field, type your Email that you use for sync and then tap Sign in.
- Sign into the cloud service that you plan to use and authorize usage of the app.
- When the New Online Folder view appears, optionally set a name of the folder by tapping Tap to set name. If you don't name it, the app will name it for you.
- Tap Folder.
- Tap the name of the account, and then tap Select to select it. If you're setting up a folder for sync the first time, this is the preferred method; however, you can select a previously-created subfolder if you wish by tapping Browse. (If you need to return to the top-level folder, tap the Home icon.)
- If you selected a subfolder, tap Select to select it. When the New Online Folder view appears, tap Save.
When you perform an Online Backup operation, all of your data at that point in time is saved to an online folder that you specify. Before you can backup your data via online services, you must specify an online folder as described previously. Note: This operation is only available when you have WiFi access.
How to perform an online backup:
- Ensure you set up an online email address in the Backup, Restore & Sync view.
- Simply tap Online Backup to initiate a backup operation. A pop-up dialog appears indicating that the operation will begin.
- Cancel the operation, or tap OK to proceed.
The following screenshots show the above steps:
For more information on creating an online folder, see: How do I use Online Files and Folders?
You can perform backup of your LightArrow iOS app using iTunes to store it locally on your Mac or PC.
Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC, Open the iTunes app and navigate to the options as shown below:
Note that you can use CMD-Click (on the Mac) to select multiple files/folders in the above screen.
Click on "Save to…" as shown above to save these folders to a local Mac/PC backup folder. This will make a backup of the existing data for LightArrow app on your PC or Mac.
Note: Restoring backups that were performed prior to an update of the application may not work. Therefore, any time you update your app from the App Store, you are strongly encouraged to perform a sync in iTunes and an Online Backup immediately.
Follow these steps to restore from an email backup:
- On your device, open the Mail application and access the account to which the backup was emailed.
- In the Mail application, open the email message containing the backup that you wish to restore.
- Note: By default, only one attachment is contained in an email, and it is named lifetopix.backup.xml. If you made modifications to the email message when you performed the backup operation, consider how those changes might affect these instructions.
- Tap-and-hold the attachment in the email message. The mail application will ask you if you want to Quick Look, Open in 'Your App,' or Cancel.
- Select Open in 'Your App,' which will invoke your app. At this point, your device has placed the backup file in a private location.
- Then, go to Backup, Restore & Sync and tap "Restore From Inbox". You will see a message asking you to confirm that you want to remove all data and restore from the backup file. (If you have sync turned on, you will need to disable it first.)
- Tap OK to perform the restore operation. After a short delay, the message box will go away, indicating that the restore has completed successfully.
The following screenshots show the above described steps:
When you perform a Full Online Restore operation, all of your device's app's data — including your audio clips, photos, videos, and local documents — are replaced with the app's data from the online folder that you specify. Before you can restore from the cloud, you must first ensure that you've set an online folder that contains the backup you wish to restore, as described above. Sync must be turned off before you perform a full online restore.
How to restore from an online backup:
- The Backup, Restore & Sync view, tap Full Online Restore to initiate a restore operation from the cloud.
- All data will be removed and replaced with the data from the cloud, and that it may take several minutes depending on network speed. Cancel the operation, or tap OK to proceed. Note: This operation is only available when you have WiFi access.
The following screenshots show the above steps:
When you prefer not to use online backup, iTunes backup & restore is a nice alternative to store the backup data and files on your PC or Mac. This will restore all your data, media and documents as well.
Connect your iOS device to your Mac or PC and open the iTunes app.
Navigate to the below screen and click on "Add…" button.
Navigate to the folder where you've stored the backup files when you did a last iTunes backup.
This will restore your LightArrow iOS app data from the backup you've stored locally on your PC or Mac.
Your LightArrow app will remind you to back up your data on a regular basis. You can change how often you're reminded; the default is once a day.
How to change the Backup Reminder:
- In the Backup, Restore & Sync view, tap Backup Reminder.
- Select Never, Once a day, Once in 3 days, or Once a week and tap Save.
You can use the above backup and restore features to accomplish a one-way copy of your data from one device to another via the cloud or iTunes. This procedure also works for transferring data from My.Agenda to LifeTopix and vice versa.
- In the Backup, Restore & Sync view, perform an (online, email or iTunes) backup to an online or local folder from your source device.
- Perform a restore from (online, email or iTunes) backup that online folder on the new device. The data is replaced with the data from the original device.

Teacher assaulted at junior high campus
Police in Orange responded to a call from Little Cypress Jr. High School Monday afternoon, March 4, in reference to a student's assault of a teacher there.
At approximately 2 p.m., Officer Joshua Dempsey reported he responded to the call and met with the principal of the school, Mitzi Conn. Conn told the officer a student at the campus assaulted another student during a sixth-grade science class. During the altercation, the attacking student reportedly shoved the instructor into her desk.
According to Sherri Combs, LC-M CISD public information specialist, the fight was actually between two students, one of whom was beaten badly, and the teacher was simply caught in the middle in her efforts to separate the two.
The aggressor was arrested for assault on the other student and taken to the Minnie Rogers Juvenile Detention Center.

Today I will be on Relevant Radio's Morning Air at 8 AM to talk about Martha. She lived with her brother Lazarus and her sister Mary in Bethany where Jesus lived when he was in the Jerusalem area. You can listen at www.RelevantRadio.com.
Click on the picture of Bethany for a larger image. It is much bigger now than in Jesus' day. Today it is an Arab town called El-Aziriye, after Lazarus. It was the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha.
The other picture is of me coming out of Lazarus' Tomb. We will be visiting this tomb in June and November 2009. Click on image for a larger picture.
This demonstrates again that the Bible is historical and accurate. The places mentioned in the Gospels still exist. On our pilgrimages we visit, touch and pray at these sites. You can be proud to be a Catholic and confident in the Bible and the teaching of the Church!
To see these sites on DVD, get our Jesus, the Word Became Flesh where we visit Bethany and the Tomb of Lazarus.

Not interested in flying to your next vacation destination? Try homeport cruising! A homeport is the destination in which a cruise ship is predominantly based, and the ship usually runs the same itinerary during its stay at the homeport.
The concept of homeport cruising is easy, drive to the port of call nearest you, and sail on whatever ship and itinerary is housed at that homeport. Escaping on a homeport cruise can, not only save you money, but also eliminate all the additional hassles of flying!
There are many homeports in the United States, and although homeports can change, below are some of the most popular:
West Coast Homeports: Seattle, WA; San Francisco, CA; Los Angeles, CA; San Diego, CA; and Honolulu, HI.
East Coast Homeports: Boston, MA; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Baltimore, MD; Norfolk, VA; Charleston, SC; Jacksonville, FL; Port Canaveral, FL; Port Canaveral, FL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; and Miami, FL.
Gulf Coast Homeports: Tampa, FL; Mobile, AL; New Orleans, LA; and Galveston, TX.
Many times, cruise lines will also offer resident specials for different cruises. These resident specials include extra savings for people who reside in a particular state. We see a lot of resident specials appear in homeport destinations, so be sure to call one of our cruise professionals and ask about resident savings and the closest homeport cruise to you.

Just because industrial automation is usually found on the gritty factory floor doesn't mean some components of a deployment can't be pretty. That's one of the reasons AAEON has released a 15-inch multitouch panel computer for use in automation applications. The company says the panel computer is rugged enough for an industry environment but attractive enough for home automation systems.
The ACP-2153, a waterproof and scratchproof glass-faced panel computer, mounts with brackets (instead of bezels) that can be adjusted to match the dimensions of the surrounding walls. This gives it more versatility in terms of display and generally makes it more aesthetically pleasing, Lee Lee, product manager of AAEON's panel appliance and automation division, said in a press release.
Though the panel computer was designed to be easy on the eyes, it's still durable, with an operating temperature range of 20C (68F) to more than 60C (140F), a high luminance of 400cd/m2, and 9~30V DC input. The screen's touch capabilities come via a responsive projective capacitive touch display with a 1,024 x 768 resolution.
Under the hood, the ACP-2153 uses an Intel Atom D2550 1.86GHz processor with built-in passive cooling, which eliminates the need for a fan. Other features include "up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, two Gigabit Ethernets for speedy internet access, a mini PCIe card slot for expansion," and "abundant storage via a 2.5" SATA HDD or CFast." To support other devices and connections, the computer includes two USB 2.0 ports, three COM ports, a Line-out, and a VGA port.
The computer also supports several OSes, including Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux Fedora. Windows developers for the system get a bit of a leg up, because they can download AAEON's Hi-Safe program for free. This software allows Windows users to create a customized interface for the ACP-2153 that can monitor vital system information for parts such as the processor, RAM, and VGA without additional coding.

Remember these kids? They saw The Odd Life of Timothy Green the other day, and it brought to the fore their youthful inability to comprehend the inevitability of mortality. It was HILARIOUS! (See also: The girl who cried at Star Wars). Generally speaking, we here at FilmDrunk almost never condone crying – there's far too much of it these days. Are you a Chopped judge touched by a contestant's story? Are you on a reality show and haven't seen your kids in a whole three days? Are you John Boehner? Please, get a hold of yourself. If a hard (but fair) slap across the face doesn't sober you up, we may have to have you committed like old mom. Nonetheless, it happens to everyone from time to time, and it got us to thinking: everyone has that one movie that turns them into the proverbial blubbering wiener kid. So I did a poll of Uproxx friends and family asking them, "Is there a movie that always kicks you right in the wang, or a movie from childhood that you can specifically remember being more than you could handle?"
Most people hate and ignore me, but I did get responses from Spencer Hall of EveryDayShouldBeSaturday, Justin Halpern of Sh*t My Dad Says/I Suck At Girls, Laremy Legel, and Uproxx's own Cajun Boy, Burnsy, Josh Kurp, Mike "Christmas Ape" Tunison, and Danger Guerrero. As well as my own response, of course. Hopefully it's good toilet reading. Just try not to cry on the toilet, co-workers hate that. Don't ask me how I know. Oh God, my fissures!
Justin Halpern: The Land Before Time
The only time I've ever cried in a movie was when I was eight and saw The Land Before Time. The first ten minutes of the movie are just a mom dinosaur and a son dinosaur hanging out and doing mother-son sh*t and I was ALL IN on that relationship. Then all of a sudden the f*cking earth opens up and the mom plummets to her death, then the earth closes up like it ate her. I burst in to one of those super hard little kid cries where my face was equal parts snot and tears, and all my breaths were super labored. Then when I thought sh*t couldn't get any worse, my older brother grabbed my hand and stuck it under his ass and farted on it. Then I cried more.
Laremy Legel: Glory
When I was a kid my parents told me there was a federal law that mandated films had to have a happy ending. Even at six, I was skeptical, but they continued with the lie over the course of many weeks before I finally relented. They also told me Santa was a scam about four minutes after I became aware of him and that giant spiders roamed the forest, a mistruth I didn't uncover until I lectured my science teacher about her appalling lack of giant-spider knowledge. I guess I had a screwed up childhood.
Anyway, when I was a wee lad, I managed to catch Glory in theaters. With my "nothing bad ever happens" framework firmly in place, I felt my team (Matt Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington) was doing great. They were working the South like a speedbag, and hopefully learning a bit about racial tolerance as well. Fast forward to those goons charging up a hill, looking startled, flash cut to A CANNON RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, cut to a white frame, a cannon noise, and there I am in the theater with only my tears. Then, the most galling part, the postscript that indicated the North never even bothered to take that fort to this day, and that it was all for nothing, and my team lost in a big way. It was SUCH bullcrap. I was hysterical and inconsolable about the whole situation.
In fact, because of Glory, to this day I hate slavery, no matter what good arguments people have for it.
The Cajun Boy: Titanic
I wish I could say that the film that never fails to reduce me to a puddle was something more testosterone-laced, like Rudy or Brian's Song or Shawshank Redemption or something. But the film I've never been able to watch without getting wispy is Titanic. Yes, as soon as Celine Dion starts singing my balls magically transform into ovaries, and by the time Kate Winslet delivers the "I'll never let go, Jack" line I might as well be named Sally.
Go ahead — judge me. SEE IF I CARE!!!

I've just started learning lisp(bought all the little schemer books to get me going) I love the language alot, it really opens your mind about the possibilities and abstract thinking of computers. There's was just a question that's been on my mind for a while since starting. Why all the parentheses?
I mean I know what they're for but why no brackets? It seems like a symbol that would be used that much shouldn't be a two key combo. Seems like a road to carpel tunnel lol. Would it be simple to just modify a compiler of interpreter to read brackets instead of parentheses?
Else is there a faster way to type parentheses, like a way to turn off numbers for a sec or something.

Even before Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez formed her conviction integrity unit one year ago to deal with potential wrongful convictions, the case of Daniel Taylor had presented prosecutors with a particularly thorny problem: how to resolve a case in which Taylor, plus seven other young men, confessed to a double murder though records show he was in a police lockup when the crime occurred.
Twenty years after his arrest, Taylor's confession carries the day for prosecutors. Though much has been learned about why teenagers sometimes falsely confess — Taylor was 17 when arrested — prosecutors point to his long and detailed confession as the most powerful piece of evidence in the case.
For Taylor's attorneys, who returned to court last week seeking the right to continue to appeal his case, mounting evidence that shows he was in the Chicago police lockup at the old Town Hall precinct underlines their contention he could not have committed the crime at 8:45 p.m. on Nov. 16, 1992, as prosecutors charged.
The records show Taylor was arrested for disorderly conduct at 6:45 p.m., booked into the lockup at 7:25, had his charges approved at 9:45, and was released on bail at 10.
Others have taken note of Taylor's case. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has expressed concern about the case, noting Taylor's powerful claim of innocence and questioning his confession. The Illinois attorney general's office has written of its concern that, for nearly two decades, prosecutors failed to turn over documents to the defense that buttress Taylor's alibi, an allegation the prosecutors deny.
That concern did not translate into immediate action, however. Instead, it has led Taylor, now 37 and having spent more than half of his life behind bars, back to Cook County Circuit Court, where prosecutors have suggested that the records showing Taylor in jail somehow are wrong.
In many ways, Taylor's case shows how difficult it is for a prisoner to win his freedom when DNA or other scientific evidence is not in play; indeed, even cases in which DNA is involved can be tough for inmates, particularly when confessions are at issue.
Taylor's case also has raised questions about the conviction integrity unit, which Alvarez announced last February amid criticism over how her office handled potential wrongful conviction cases. Announcing the unit, Alvarez said it represented a "shift in philosophy" for the office and pledged to be more open to the possibility that police and prosecutors had sent an innocent person to prison.
Alvarez, in her announcement, said the state's attorney's office was "about always seeking justice," not simply "racking up convictions."
"These cases are something that she takes very seriously," said Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for Alvarez. "She listens and expects a full accounting of the facts when these cases are being reviewed. She's committed to taking objective open-minded looks, and her record has shown that."
Taylor's attorney said his case, with its unusual but seemingly ironclad alibi, challenges Alvarez's claims.
"The evidence that prosecutors typically rely on — police officer statements, police reports, records — demonstrate that Daniel couldn't have committed the murders," said Karen Daniel, who is Taylor's lawyer and an attorney at Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions.
"Conviction integrity means not putting innocent people away, but also making sure that there's a fair and constitutional process. If these records weren't turned over to the defense, then Daniel Taylor's trial wasn't fair and constitutional, and Daniel's conviction has no integrity."
In its first year, the conviction integrity unit has had more than 150 cases referred to it by defense lawyers, defendants, their families and even people who walk into the Leighton Criminal Court Building, Daly said.
The unit has four prosecutors who also handle other post-conviction cases and investigators to do the legwork that often is crucial to sorting out innocence claims. The unit currently has dozens of cases under active investigation, Daly said.
It has exonerated two men, Alprentiss Nash and James Kluppelberg, though Kluppelberg's case already was in the works, Daly said.
"It's a labor-intensive process, but we are hard at work. We're moving ahead as fast as possible with the manpower we have," she said. "Since Anita has been state's attorney, more cases have been dismissed than ever before. She has not been reticent about doing that."
Daly said prosecutors will view Taylor's new petition with "an open mind."
Taylor and seven others were charged with murder in the shooting deaths of Sharon Haugabook and Jeffrey Lassiter in an apartment near Clarendon Park, on the North Side. According to police and prosecutors, four suspects went into the apartment while the other four acted as lookouts. All eight, police said, confessed and implicated each other — meaning to undermine one of the confessions undermines them all.
Taylor was taken into custody more than two weeks after the shootings. After he was charged in the slayings, Taylor remembered that he had been arrested on the night they occurred and told the detectives who had been questioning him. The police found lockup records supporting Taylor's account, and in fact his attorney at trial presented those records as well as the testimony of some of the police officers.
Prosecutors argued that the records were inaccurate, and a jury convicted Taylor. A judge sentenced him to life in prison.
The Tribune investigated the case as part of its December 2001 series "Cops and Confessions" and uncovered additional evidence of Taylor's innocence. That prompted then-State's Attorney Dick Devine to reinvestigate the case; last year the Tribune reported on that investigation's failure to interview either the detectives or prosecutors who took Taylor's confession or the officers working in the lockup who could support his alibi.
The petition Taylor filed Thursday adds to the information that supports documents showing he was locked up. Two employees — one a sworn officer, the other a civilian aide — who worked in the station said in sworn affidavits that, although they do not remember Taylor specifically, the records are clear that he was in the lockup. One said he would have gone to Taylor's cell himself to verify that he was there. What's more, both of them say it is far-fetched to believe officers on different shifts could let somebody out earlier than records show, then engage in a coverup.
It brings to five the number of current and former police employees who have sworn the records accurately show Taylor was locked up.
The petition also asserts that a prosecutor's notes of interviews with police officers — which also buttress Taylor's claims — and other documents were not turned over before trial as the law requires. The attorney general's office, in correspondence with Taylor's attorneys, said it believed the information had not been provided.
"It's further evidence that Daniel was absolutely in police custody," Daniel, his attorney, said. "It would have required a large number of people to have gotten together and decided to falsify police records. And we just received this information 20 years after the fact."
In addition, one of the men arrested and convicted with Taylor reiterated in a sworn affidavit what he has told the Tribune: that he went to the apartment with three other men who committed the murders and that Taylor and his other co-defendants had nothing to do with them.
Indeed, the man, Dennis Mixon, said in the affidavit that he did not know Taylor or most of the others — he had met one of them once, and then only briefly, he said — but he implicated all of them at the urging of the detectives and because he thought he might "improve my situation."
Taylor's previous efforts in state court have been unsuccessful. If this effort is unsuccessful as well, he will return to federal court, where the appeals court already has determined Taylor should be allowed to file another appeal because of information about a man who was in a lockup cell with Taylor. The appeals court determined the information had not been given to Taylor's trial attorneys and could have helped in his defense.

National Conference for Islam and Medicine (NCIM): Abstract talk at King's College, London, presented in March 2013 by Professor Mohamed El-Gomati OBE, Chairman of the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation (FSTC)
The period between 600-1600 CE, following the collapse of the Roman Empire, is commonly referred to as the 'Dark Ages'. It is often regarded as a time of intellectual idleness and economic regression – an understanding that has regrettably become all too commonplace, finding its way into educational curricula all over the world.
We are repeatedly told, despite evidence to the contrary, that civilisation had taken a nose dive, and that after the Greeks and the Romans, all knowledge, science and technology had stagnated or worse still entirely disappeared. We are then expected to believe that in the 13th century, the Renaissance era magically rose out of the ashes! This account is based on a fallacy, attributing centuries of progress, scientific achievements, innovation and technological advances solely to the great scientists and technologists of Western Europe.
It is this narrative that is challenged and refuted through a number of initiatives led by the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC) – a global network of historians, scientists and academics. The talk will give an overview of the work undertaken by the FSTC; the culmination of a decade of rigorous research by over fifty international academics dedicated to uncovering over a thousand years of heritage from Muslim civilisation and their impact on the modern world.
Muslim civilisation are testament to how men and women of different faiths and cultures worked together in what were predominantly the classical Muslim civilisation, building upon the achievements of other ancient civilisations, to improve mankind's quality of life. This account attempts to give coverage and insight to one of several non-European civilisation that deserves to be credited with its role and contribution. It is my hope to impart some knowledge on a subject and focus of research, one that is increasingly gaining recognition amongst many leading historians and respectable academic circles.

For the past week and for the next five weeks, I am in my company's training program. I'm in a hotel about 70 miles from home, but it looks and feels like the midwest suburbs. When people complain about suburban sprawl, they complain, knowingly or not, about this place. It's not that it all doesn't look nice, I just can't tell where one strip mall ends and another begins. 200 yard across the parking lot from the AMC 30 cinema, there is another multiplex with 22 additional screens. That's 52 screens sharing one parking lot. But no one's showing "Bellflower," (just for example)?
All of this to say, I recently finished the first draft of a screenplay, so I'm writing a short film as a kindof creative wasabe before jumping into re-writes next week. Taking a page from a combination of current circumstances/goings-on, the short film concerns an insurance adjuster handling claims for damage done by a superhero from the brand new, wildly popular, destined-for-greatness card game "Sentinels of the Multiverse" (I obtained permission for the use of their characters).
Well so last night as I was outlining the story – God-willing, it will be under 15 pages – it occurred that a hero or villain's insurance policy would have to be different from a regular policy, and I needed to understand before I wrote it what coverages, exclusions, and conditions were present in the policy, so that I don't have to figure it out during the writing. So, as an exercise, I created some specific, applicable portions of the insurance policy in question, from the Greater Good Insurance Group, a premiere insurance carrier for high-risk, costumed clientele (including [for additional premium] the sidekicks, wards, protégés and the like who may reside with them), and their moral counterparts. Here's what I've got:
Please refer to your Greater Good Insurance Group, Inc.'s S-27 Heroic-Form Homeowners Insurance Policy – 09/2008, which states in part:
Section-I – Exclusions
We do not cover the Dwelling, Other Structures – including hideouts, caves, fortresses, lairs, anti-aging chambers, and the like – nor Personal Property, if the damaged items were intended for use in whole or in part for any of the following:
#1. Serious Criminal Activities – As stated in the Definitions for this policy, "Serious Criminal Activities" are any criminal activities above a normal Misdemeanor offense or which could be punishable by death.
#2. Overthrow of Government – Any use of covered property, in whole or in part, for the proven purposes of the overthrow of any governmental agency, whether local, state, national, or international – and also including governmental and international peace-keeping or organizational agencies – shall be excluded from all losses under this policy.
#3. World Domination – Any damage to property during the planning, building, scheming, conniving, or any other similar preparation with the provable purpose of – or any direct attempt at – total world domination, takeover, destruction, anarchization, or other similar effort will be excluded under this policy.
For all Exclusions, any loss to covered property NOT being used for the overthrow of government or world domination, damaged as a result of any excluded damage caused to property, will be covered under this policy, unless that property NOT being used for the overthrow of government or world domination in any way necessarily impeded the stoppage of the overthrow of government or world domination (e.g – Damage to personal property in a room – as well as any part of the walls, floor, ceiling, and framing members of the room itself – NOT being used for overthrow of government or world domination, but which shares a wall with a room being used, in whole or in part, for excluded activities or measures, which was necessarily destroyed as the best or only means of access to any property being used, whether in whole or in part, for the overthrow of government or world domination, is also excluded by these policy provisions).
As well, any personal property in any room being used, either in whole or in part, for the overthrow of government or world domination, will be considered to be aiding and abetting the excluded activities or measures, so long as said personal property resides in said room.
Section-II – Personal Liability
We will cover accidental direct physical loss, damage, or harm caused or inflicted by you toward any individual(s) not named on the Declarations Page of this insurance policy and to public or private property – whether residential or commercial.
We will also cover intentional direct physical loss, damage, or reasonable harm caused or inflicted by you toward any individual(s) not named on the Declarations Page of this insurance policy and to public or private property – whether residential or commercial – provided that such person(s) or property posed a legitimate, provable threat – whether latent or operative – to the Greater Good of all Mankind, as outlined in Section-I – Exclusions of this policy.

Author Notes: Jim Lahey has refined his revolutionary no-knead bread technique for pizza and, astonishingly, it's even easier. Though Lahey loves smart, unusual toppings like charred thai eggplant with bonito flakes, shiitake with walnut onion puree, and cheese piled with spinach leaves, here we went with his version of the classic Margherita Pie. Lahey would want you to feel free to tinker, and to feel free to freeze the dough. Adapted very slightly from My Pizza: The Easy No-Knead Way to Make Spectacular Pizza at Home (Clarkson Potter, March 2012). —Genius Recipes
Makes: four 12-inch pizza crusts
Prep time: 20 hrs
Cook time: 5 min
Making the Dough
grams (17 1/2 ounces or about 3 3/4 unsifted cups) all-purpose flour, plus more for shaping the dough
gram (1/4 teaspoon) active dry yeast
grams (2 teaspoons) fine sea salt
grams (11/2 cups) water
Assembling and Baking the Margherita Pie
balls pizza dough from above
28-ounce can best quality peeled Italian tomatoes (or fresh, peeled Roma tomatoes, if they're in season)
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
teaspoon fine sea salt
pounds fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into large chunks
fresh basil leaves, or to taste
cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Making the Dough
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water and, with a wooden spoon and/or your hands, mix thoroughly. We find it easiest to start with the spoon, then switch to your hands (see slideshow).
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow it to rise at room temperature (about 72°) for 18 hours or until it has more than doubled. It will take longer in a chilly room and less time in a very warm one.
- Flour a work surface and scrape out the dough. Divide it into 4 equal parts and shape them. For each portion, start with the right side of the dough and pull it toward the center, then do the same with the left, then the top, then the bottom. (The order doesn't actually matter; what you want is four folds.) Shape each portion into a round and turn seam side down. Mold the dough into a neat circular mound. The mounds should not be sticky; if they are, dust with more flour.
- If you don't intend to use the dough right away, wrap the balls individually in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Return to room temperature by leaving them out on the counter, covered in a damp cloth, for 2 to 3 hours before needed.
Assembling and Baking the Margherita Pie
- Put the pizza stone on a rack in a gas oven about 8 inches from the broiler. Preheat the oven on bake at 500° F for 30 minutes.
- Shaping the disk (Method 1): Take one ball of dough and generously flour it, your hands, and the work surface. Gently press down and stretch the ball of dough out to 10-12 inches. Don't worry if it's not round. Don't handle it more than necessary; you want some of the gas bubbles to remain in the dough. It should look slightly blistered. Flour the peel (or an unrimmed baking sheet) and lay the disk onto the center. It is now ready to be topped.
- Shaping the disk (Method 2): Take one ball of dough and generously flour it, your hands, and the work surface. Gently press down and stretch the ball of dough out to 6-8 inches. Supporting the disk with your knuckles toward the outer edge and lifting it above the work surface, keep stretching the dough by rotating it with your knuckles, gently pulling it wider until the disk reaches 10-12 inches. Set the disk on a well-floured peel (or unrimmed baking sheet). It is now ready to be topped.
- Drain tomatoes and pass through a food mill or just squish them with your hands—it's messy but fun. Stir in the olive oil and salt. The sauce will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Switch the oven to broil for 10 minutes. With the dough on the peel, spoon the tomato sauce over the surface and spread it evenly, leaving about an inch of the rim untouched. Distribute 10 to 12 hunks of mozzarella (about 7 ounces) on top.
- With quick, jerking motions, slide the pie onto the stone. Broil for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes under gas (somewhat longer with an electric oven), until the top is bubbling and the crust is nicely charred but not burnt.
- Using the peel, transfer the pizza to a tray or serving platter. Sprinkle the Parmigiano and salt evenly over the pizza. Distribute the basil on top. Slice and serve immediately.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Virginia Tech Senior
40: 4.62
PROS: Has good size with good speed and range. Moves well in space. Quick to come up and defend the run and fairly natural working in the box. Has good closing burst on the ball which makes him a formidable hitter. Does a nice job wrapping up and can make stops in the open field. Can be an enforcer over the middle. Does best work when he can keep things in front on him on shorter zones, with the burst and ability to read quarterback and make a play on the ball. Shows some ability as a press corner.
CONS: Not always a heady defender. Struggles in coverage, especially when he lines up against slot receiver because of poor hips and burst. Gives too much contact when working in man coverage and will be susceptible to flags. Overpursues at times and takes some poor angles to the ball. Doesn't always break down as a tackler and will miss some stops in the open field on occasion.
OVERVIEW: A three-year starter that played both safety spots and cornerback during his Tech career, after starting out as a quarterback before his freshman year. He played free safety this past year, but is probably a better fit at strong safety on the next level. Chancellor is one of those players that usually was up and down during his career, showing ball skills and range in some games, and then in others looking lost. Appeared more consistent as a senior. Combined for 6 career picks and 19 passes defended.
NFL FORECAST: Chancellor is not the smart, consistent cover guy you want quarterbacking your defense. He needs work in coverage, but I think with his size and athleticism has the ability to match up with tight ends as a strong safety. But he's best working in the box. He could convert to linebacker, but he'd be a work in progress there as he hasn't shown the ability to shed blockers when he's working in the box. So he's probably a few years from being a competent starter there, and he'll have to play in a scheme that allows him to play in space and chase the ball. But I think if he can be coached up and made into a more consistent option, he'll be a better safety even with his coverage limitations. I don't think he'll ever be a great coverage guy, but if he plays with a smart free safety, then I think he can be an above average to good strong safety that will make his money playing the run. It's not from a lack of ability, but it's more discipline that limits him. And while he'll never be great in man coverage, his range, size, and speed can allow him to develop into a capable zone defender.
ATL FORECAST: Chancellor is a similar player to William Moore and thus there really isn't a lot of room for two of those types of players on the roster. He's not as disciplined as Moore is so it's doubtful he would surpass him. And as a linebacker, he would be a decent reserve in the Falcons 4-3 scheme, but doesn't have the coverage potential or size potential to really like his chances playing in the box on a full-time basis. Basically, whether it's at linebacker or safety he would just be a backup in Atlanta.
VALUE: For a team looking for a big, rangy strong safety and has some patience to develop him, he would make a nice late second round pick. But he's a safer pick in the third round.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
