Steve & I don't mind it so much, because with the new toys, the kids entertain themselves all day long! My parents were here from California too, so it was good. As for training, it's a full bunch. Neil and I are ready and going to try out some new training techniques and group exercises. I will schedule Joanna from Cintas to do the uniforms. Thanks for that reminder. Let me know if you need help with anything else. Anything else new and exciting?

Sign-On La coppia assassinata nella loro abitazione di Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto Marito e moglie uccisi in casa nel Messinese Le vittime sono Lorenzo Mangano e Fortunata Biondo, entrambi di 77 anni, proprietari di un caseificio della zona BARCELLONA POZZO DI GOTTO (MESSINA) - Misterioso duplice omicidio nel messinese. Una coppia di coniugi, titolare di un caseificio, � stata assassinata nel quartiere Sant'Antonio di Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, all'interno della loro abitazione. Le vittime sono Lorenzo Mangano e Fortunata Biondo, entrambi di 77 anni. I loro corpi erano sul pavimento di una delle stanze della loro abitazione, un piano terra nel rione Sant'Antonio. I coniugi avevano una piccola impresa casearia. La polizia sta svolgendo i rilievi e ricostruendo la personalit� delle vittime e i loro ultimi contatti. La decisione del Procuratore federale sul saluto in Livorno-Lazio Braccio teso, Di Canio deferito L'accusa: �comportamenti contrari i princ�pi di lealt�, correttezza e probit�. Deferita anche la societ� per responsabilit� oggettiva ROMA - Il Procuratore Federale ha deferito alla Commissione Disciplinare della Federcalcio il calciatore della Lazio Paolo Di Canio, protagonista del saluto romano ricolto ai tifosi biancocelesti in occasione della gara con il ritorno. Il deferimento arriva �per violazione dell'articolo 1 del Codice di Giustizia Sportiva, ovvero per comportamenti contrari ai principi di lealt�, correttezza e probit�. E' stata deferita anche la Lazio per �responsabilit� oggettiva�. Ma c'� chi si schiera dalla parte Di Canio, come le associazioni Porta del Sud, Azione Giovani e Area che hanno attivato durante le festivit� natalizie un conto corrente postale con la causale �Libert� di salutare come vuoi, dove vuoi� per una raccolta di fondi per pagare l'ammenda al calciatore della Lazio. All'andata ci furono gravi incidenti al di fuori dello stadio Roma-Napoli si giocher� a porte chiuse Il ritorno degli ottavi di finale di Coppa Italia si disputer� in un'Olimpico deserto per decisione del prefetto Serra Una decisione che far� discutere. Si giocher� a porte chiuse la partita di ritorno degli ottavi di finale di Coppa Italia tra Roma e Napoli (l'andata si concluse per 3-0 per i romanisti) prevista per il prossimo 11 gennaio allo stadio Olimpico. Lo ha deciso oggi il Comitato provinciale per la sicurezza e l�ordine pubblico presieduto dal prefetto di Roma Achille Serra. �A Napoli - ha spiegato Serra - ci sono stati incidenti molto gravi. E ci sono state anche minacce reciproche delle due tifoserie, del tipo "ci rivedremo a Roma"�. Condanna esemplare della Federazione di hockey su ghiaccio Insulti razzisti: cacciato dalla Nazionale Daniele Veggiato, hockeista dell'Alleghe, era stato espulso dopo insulti a sfondo razzista a un giocatore del Cortina Luca Zandonella (dal sito del club in cui milita) ROMA - Condanna esemplare della Federazione italiana sport del ghiaccio nei confronti di un giocatore reo di aver insultato con epiteti razzisti un altro hockeista: sar� escluso per sempre dalle nazionali italiane. Daniele Veggiato, in forza all'Alleghe, luned� era stato espulso per aver rivolto insulti xenofobi nei confronti del difensore del Cortina Luca Zandonella, italianissimo di origine, essendo nato a San Candido in provincia di Bolzano come informa il sito del club in cui milita, ma di pelle scura. Per la cronaca la partita - un derby sentitissimo dai tifosi - era stata vinta dal Cortina, che giocava in trasferta, per due reti a una. �Alla luce dell'increscioso episodio avvenuto durante l'incontro della 25� giornata� del campionato di hockey su ghiaccio, si legge in un comunicato della Fisg, �la Federazione ha deciso di escludere definitivamente da qualsiasi futura attivit� delle squadre nazionali Daniele Veggiato. La Fisg, considerando intollerabile a tutti i livelli un comportamento del genere, giudica incompatibile tale tipo di condotta con la maglia azzurra dell'Italia, simbolo invece di lealt�, sportivit�, rispetto delle regole e dell'avversario. In attesa delle decisioni che la giustizia sportiva prender� in completa autonomia, e rispettando quanto riportato nel referto arbitrale, la Fisg vuole esprimere la propria solidariet� a Zandonella, condannando al contempo ogni espressione di razzismo, fenomeno che deve continuare a restare estraneo al mondo dell'hockey su ghiaccio�. Veggiato non era tra i convocati per le Olimpiadi di Torino, ma contava 37 presenze e dieci reti con la maglia azzurra. Prima tappa del sistema che dovrebbe diventare operativo nel 2010 Lanciato il primo satellite di Galileo E' il primogenito dei 30 che costituiranno il sistema di navigazione satellitare europeo nato come alternativa al Gps americano Il primo satellite di Galileo sulla rampa di lancio MOSCA - E' in orbita il primogenito della famiglia di satelliti europei per la geolocalizzazione. E' stato lanciato dal cosmodromo Baikonur in Kazakistan il primo satellite di Galileo, il sistema europeo di navigazione satellitare, indipendente da quello americano Gps e dal russo Glonass. Galileo dovrebbe diventare operativo nel 2010 quando tutti i 30 satelliti previsti saranno in orbita. Il lancio di Giove-A � una tappa essenziale del programma Galileo, perch� consentir� di mettere alla prova in orbita tecnologie molto sofisticate, tra le quali il primo orologio atomico di precisione mai inviato nello spazio. Il lancio � avvenuto regolarmente, cos� come la separazione del primo stadio del lanciatore, ha confermato l'Agenzia Spaziale Europea (ESA). Il satellite dimostrativo di Galileo ha raggiunto l'orbita definitiva dopo essersi separato con successo dall'ultimo stadio del lanciatore, il Fregat. La stazione a Terra che si trova in Gran Bretagna, presso il centro di controllo Surrey Satellite System di Guilfod, ha acquisito i dati relativi alla telemetria. �Tutto sta procedendo benissimo�, ha detto il portavoce dell'Esa, Franco Bonacina, e il pieno successo del lancio sar� confermato fra le 13,51 e le 14,00, quando sar� completata l'operazione di dispiegamento dei pannelli solari. Quello lanciato oggi � il primo satellite dimostrativo del sistema Galileo e, insieme ad un secondo satellite dimostrativo il cui lancio � previsto nei prossimi mesi, sar� il banco di prova delle tecnologie sviluppate in Europa e ne permetter� la validazione in orbita.Dear Friends, If you cannot view the images in this message, enable images or visit here to see this newsletter.
I've been throwing up all day long, 20, maybe 30 times. I am pretty weak but insist that the next glass of water will stay down. Itdoes, for about 10 minutes. My Mum insists I visit the doctor. So we all go along, my parents and I. I explain to the doctor the fantasy life I'd been leading. I've been living in a sort of dream world but one different to that which I describe. The doctor asks me if alcohol has anything to do with it. I adamantly deny it and he insists I got to hospital. I resist this, thinking of the inadequately hidden evidence of drinking back in my room and in my car. I am taken to hospital, assessed and admitted. The doctor seems to know almost straight away but I stick with my story all the same. My parents leave and I throw up one last time before finally drifting off to sleep. Awoken and some unholy hour and another drip containing a bright yellow fluid called Sodium Chloride is then stuffed into my arm. Plus a mouthful of pills and the offer of some 'breakfast' which I decline. More doctors, different ones but the questions are the same. I need a brain scan. This is getting out of control, I just have a bad hangover. Its brain scan time and a machine that belongs in a science fiction film. Its unearthly whine almost makes me think a door to another dimension is about to open up and swallow my head. It's all over in less than 5 minutes but I want another go! A day passes and the results arrive, they have found a brain, hoorah! And it's normal, surprise surprise. Later in the day a sinister turn of events, my medication changes. Or, rather it is added to. Something to counteract the effects of alcohol withdrawal. Oh dear, someone knows. I wonder who? In the night the man in the bed next to mine dies. After 4 days and nights I am allowed to go home, or rather allowed to leave hospital. My family at home have found out I've started drinking again and I am not allowed to stay there any longer. So it's out of hospital straight onto the street. At least I still have my car. I also have �47 which I promptly spend on fuel and a bottle of Jim Beam. So I hole up for the night in a quiet cul-de-sac and get reaquainted with my old friend Jim. We used to spend Friday nights together. I spend the next few hours undoing much of the progress the last 4 days in hospital achieved. I eventually crawl into the back seat and lose consciousness. Suddenly it's light and for a moment I think everything is alright before remembering last nights events and that I was homeless and had about enough money to buy a newspaper. But wait it's the 30th, its pay day! I throw my head back and laugh. Then the hangover hits me. I open my eyes as wide as they will go in the disbelief at how bad I feel. Someone has surely drilled a hole in my forehead and poured in concrete. I try and crawl through the gap to the front seat but I'm too weak. Sitting back to psyche myself up I open the door and manage the 3 foot walk to the driver door. The fresh air actually helps. I look at the 2/3 empty bottle and get angry. I compare it to the devil. Suddenly finding some energy I step out of the car and try to smash the bottle. But it won't break even after the third attempt. I cannot beat the devil alone I think to myself. I pick up the bottle and leave. Finding myself back near my home town I attempt to check into a travel lodge. They receptionist seems quite happy to offer me a room until he looks at me. All of a sudden they're full. Do I really look that bad? I certainly feel it. So I head off again in a random direction. At some point I make the decision to head for the Severn Bridge, a favourite beauty spot with wannabe dead people. I stop along the route, take one last swig of the Bourbon and dispose of the unfinished bottle in a hedge. I purchase Vodka, this is more like it. I take off again and eventually find somewhere to stay the night. Finding myself alone and safe in a locked room I'd paid for was a welcome relief. I crack open the bottle and head into dream land. I must have gone out for a KFC at some point as there was debris neatly scattered over the floor in the morning. I leave thanking the friendly receptionist and drive west. I stop at a place called Swindon for more booze. What a depressing place this is. It really suits my mood. For some reason I go back to the place I'd stayed the previous night and do exactly the same the following night. Finally managing to leave the area I go to a cash machine. My balance is zero. Uh-oh, where's all that gone? Now What. I look at what resources I have left. A few pounds in change, enough fuel to get to the bridge and plenty of Vodka. Not much choice then. I make it to the bridge but don't have enough money to pay the toll. Damnit. Back to the nearest motorway services which is less than a mile back. I hide the keys to my car and get hammered before contemplating getting out and walking to the bridge. But I don't have the energy and it's freezing cold. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. I spend a very cold, tearful night in the back seat again. I awake at six still with alcohol in my system. I can feel it. I add to it and sporadically send text messages to those dearest to me. It gets dark again and I haven't moved except for several trips to the gents and to spend the last of my money on some crisps. The guy behind the counter looks at me funny. I wonder why. Must be the funky leather gloves I'm wearing, yeah that's it. It's getting very cold here. I'm out of alcohol and now petrol. I speak with my brother in law who explains why my family are angry with me. This isn't helping my state of mind at all. I hang up and throw up. Back to the car and it seems even colder. I lie on the back seat and shiver. I can't take this. I ask my brother in law to dial 999. The police arrive and talk to me. They take me away and detain me under the mental health act. At least it's warm and I haven't actually been arrested. I can't leave but where would I go? Some doctors and shrinks talk to me the next day. I'm not actually going nuts, just very down. The doctor tells me I will die if I keep drinking. This is obvious but I think about it all the same. He's actually serious. I've never really believed that all this drinking was doing any lasting damage. I don't want to die I just want all this stuff to go away and to get on with my life. That isn't going to be easy. I will have to work and think hard to save this situation. I am escorted back to my car by two friendly social workers who provide me with enough fuel to get back to my home town. It's a worrying journey. I still have nowhere to go and no money. I get back and see a doctor. Explaining to him the recent events he does everything he can. A homeless shelter is my only option for the night. Oh great. From a good, well-paid job and my own picturesque little cottage to this. In two short years. It's a bit late for regrets and I've no time for self pity. I visit my family and explain the situation. They let me use the phone, have a bath and collect a few of my things. I drive away into the pouring rain to the town where the shelter is. It's very dark, wet and I'm lost in the one way system from hell. Thinking about giving up again I phone my Dad who gives me some directions. I get lost again but eventually find some traffic police. The helpful man leads me to the road I need. But it's the wrong end of a one way street. I drive off again in the wrong direction and stop outside a block of flats.
