That's funny, I don't get shot at for that stuff. I just save people's lives instead nbd though.
Is there anything in the United States Army for a twentysomething guy with a BA degree in history?
Ah, makes sense and is that part of why I've been told west coast Marines are "Hollywood Marines" by my Recruiter/ other Marines?
no one cares
I think that's just because of the relative proximity of those Marines to Hollywood. And I might have read somewhere that Parris Island training is considered harder than San Diego, but I don't know why.
OH, I just remembered that during WWII there was a battalion or division or something of reserve Marines that were used as extras in some Hollywood films. That's why.
fuck man
theyre shipping my ass to south carolina in the fucking summer as an automated logistical specialist. i dont know shit about south carolina.
Does anyone know about AOCS at NAS Pensacola? What they instruct there?
I can answer questions about flying high above the best (Army Aviation) Within my limited scope of experience, as I am still in USAALS.
I have a quick question for you guys.
I may be visiting Japan this summer, and I have a few friends that are stationed there. How hard is it for an American civilian to visit an American base on foreign soil?
Well the fact it's in p cola all I can really say is aviation stuff and not much else really.
Is there a chance for a unfit guy like me to pass BMT?
Haha I was so unfit when I went to navy boot camp you'll be fine.
My drill sergeant said, "hey dickwad..you want germany right? That fucking sucks...youre going to campbell". It really is luck of the draw..and no..I havnt been to air assault school yet...in fact..most soldiers I know here havnt been to AA school yet.
Ill answer the rest later..just got done with a 4 day platoon assault ftx and am FUCKING exhausted...
I've come up with a simple graphic representation of what everyones life becomes when you join the military. It's pretty much on the dot
So I'm still having a collosal life-crisis about whether or not I should join the Air Force.
Is there anyone here that's in the United States Air Force? Could you toss me some information about your day-to-day, like what you do?
If I could do anything in the service, it would be to become a pilot. Whether it be a jet fighter or an AC-130 doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm in the sky.
Also, as a side-question, are there such things as reserve pilots for the Air Force? If I can't do full-time, that would be fantastic. Just part-time ANYTHING in the Air Force would be wonderful.

Thanks UncleJimmema, message sent.
As I get closer to the date when I'll be able to join the military, I'm kinda starting to not want to join. Is this normal?
That's exactly what I've been struggling with. I can't decide, and it's starting to mess me up a bit.
On what I want to do, that is.
I know exactly what MOS I want, and I've researched enough to get an idea of what I'll do before and during the military. The thing is, I've got a medical condition that might disqualify me from joining. I should be able to get it, but depending on the severity of my condition I may or may not be able to get a waiver if I need one. It's just been bugging me so much I'm not sure if I should bother or not
What I've heard about medical conditions is that if you don't have to say anything about it, don't. Why disqualify yourself by talking about something they haven't even asked you about?
Actually, here's a good suggestion. Get your degree, look into options as an officer.
Serve your country, make bank, and already have 1 degree knocked out. If you're TRULY trying to serve, it might be worth it.
Me and UncleJimmema (hopefully he doesn't mind me using his name in this) have spread this exact advice many times, and some listen some don't.
Here's the spiel: You have a condition. Great.
Step 1, IS IT RECORDED BY ANY DOCTOR EVER? No, good. Most important part. If it's not on paper/harddrive/carrier pigeon then they can't track it. Don't care if it was when you were 3, or 17. It'll show up.
Step 2, "DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO EFFECT YOU IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM? You must understand that in life threatening situations your condition acting up may put others at risk. Don't be that guy.
Step 3: HAVE YOU SPOKE OF IT EVER? (Or is it obvious as shit) No? Awesome. Take it to your grave. Never speak a word of it.
Step 4: WILL IT JUST GET YOU KICKED OUT? Cool, you have ___ condition. If you run a mile is it going to act up and in turn have you fail out of the military (be it PT or job performance)?
Step 5: NEVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN.
That's your best bet. We shared this specific advice with someone and a week later he posted saying he was disqualified. This is the advice recruiters (some) give, and if you've ever talked to anyone who didn't make it you'll understand. It also doesn't matter how simple of a condition it is.. even eczema can be grounds for disqualification.
I was planning on doing that, but it's kinda hard to hide a dented chest. I've never gone to a doctor or done anything about it, it doesn't affect me other than aesthestic reasons. I've just heard that some people get by without a problem, some get a waiver, and others get disqualified.
How bad is it? I had a backyard football incident damage my sternum when I was pulled (and then slipped sideways) and got kneed in the ribs so hard my left breastbone sorta broke. It would click with my heartbeat. After all was said and done, it sticks out a bit. Obviously wrong to anyone looking for something to be wrong, but just looks like I only work out that side of my body. Regardless, you may as well try anyways and just not say anything. Maybe put on some chest muscle as an attempt to cover it up.
It's about one inch in depth, and about 3 inches across. The proper term for it is 'pectus excavatum'. I don't know the severity cause I haven't been to a doctor and I don't plan on going to one about it. And yeah, I plan on getting chest muscle so it doesn't look as bad.
After looking through google images, I feel a bit better because jesus christ some of those are scary as hell
I just got my orders. I go to Ft. Campbell, KY in May. I will be attached to the 101st, but I am not sure what aviation regiment or battalion I will be in.
What do you feel in combat? Do you think, or does training/learned instinct take over?
Lets just say that when I was 1 I was hospitalized for pneumonia and I have mild asthma w/o an inhaler and I can pt and run just fine will I be DQ'd for the mild asthma?
If you dot need the inhaler and don't get massive attacks or anything i wouldn't say a word about it. If you do need the inhaler however i wouldn't even bother going to a recruiter.
Well, signed my papers today, going to meps next week Tuesday and Wednesday... going in as a 15T and 15V(UH-60 mechanic, Scout/light observation helicopter mechanic, respectively) and going into basic as an E-3... How easy would it be for me to become a squad leader in basic when Im 17, plus going to Recruit sustainment Program for the national guard? And how hard is the ASVAB? i took a practice one at military.com and ive been studying.. Ive heard it was both hard, and easy from a couple of different people.
Started Air Force Cadets today, and it's surprisingly fun.
Although military protocol is a bit weird. ie having to wear a collared shirt inside a Mess Hall.
How in the blankety blank did you enlist with two MOS's? Is this some kind of National Guard thing? I am a 15S OH-58D helicopter repairer and the only way I would get victor is if I reclassed. In the 160th no less. Wait, does your unit have the Lakota? Anyways, do not worry at all about being a squad leader in basic training. It is not like you are assigned it or anything. People are usually squad leaders depending upon how tall they are, as the shorter people are in front. That or the drill sergeants will just randomly assign people based upon how messed up they are. If they are in a funny mood, just watch as your platoon is running around blind when the DS puts four fuckups as squad leaders and a fuckup as a platoon guide. The ASVAB was damn easy in my opinion. I got a 99 just by reading every question through, checking my work as I went. How did you get E-3 by the way? JROTC or something?
What are the advantages of enlisting in the marines at 17 instead of 18? I know that you still need to finish high school, but is there any difference in signing up at 17 instead of 18?
Well, i was going in as a 15t, and my dad's a CSM and he knows everyone at the recruiting office so he asked if there was a 15v slot open, (as we have a RAID unit in his facility) and the recruiter told us a 15v pissed hot, so his getting discharged and the slots open for me, so they put me in that aswell. we have the OH-58's, they said ill more then likely be working on the new LUH's that are coming out soon. and ahh, im 6'3.. I got E-3 by referring two people in one person per rank. And yes, it is a National Guard deal, ill be going into 1-106 AVN. And thanks, from what i can tell the ASVAB doesnt really seem that hard.
dont do drugs kiddies
Yeah kinda, a better chance of enlisting.
You get to be younger than almost everyone else in boot camp. That's about it.

Sweat and pimples05/02/2006 |
Hi, i train at the gym about 3 times a week and my pimples started to increase the same time i started this routine. i was wondering whether sweat can be a cause of my pimples and wat can i do about it? my skin has become quite oily on my nose.
Many people experience a mild miliaria which can be pustular under the stress of high temperature, severe physical exertion and the like. These are often misdiagnosed as pimples. With increased physical activity and a warm environment your normal sebum is more fluid giving the sense of oily skin. I would suggest that you try to keep the environment a little cooler and shower after your work out at the gym. If this does not relieve the problem I would urge you to see a board certified dermatologist who can accurately diagnose the kinds of pustules you are experiencing and treat them appropriately.

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya has stopped gas exports to Italy from its Mellitah complex after fighting on Saturday between militias, Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) and Italy's Eni said on Sunday.
Libya's defense ministry sent security personnel to secure the complex, about 100 km (60 miles) west of the capital Tripoli, to ensure exports could resume soon, said Abdufattah Shagan, chairman of Mellitah, an NOC-Eni joint venture.
Mellitah supplies Italy with gas through the Greenstream pipeline, which at full capacity pumps at least 8 billion cubic meters. Italy gets most of its gas from Algeria, Russia and Norway, with Libya providing about 10 percent.
"Gas exports have been completely halted," NOC deputy chairman Mustafa Sunalla told Reuters on Sunday.
Saturday's firefight began after an argument between former rebel fighters from nearby Zuwara and others from Zintan over who should guard Mellitah, security officials said, adding the clashes were now over.
Deputy Oil Minister Omar Shakmak told a news conference in Tripoli one person was killed and several injured. Khaled Bukrayat, a member of Zuwara Media center which compiles local news, said seven people were seriously injured.
It was the latest violent disruption to the energy industry in Libya where protests have shut down oil-export terminals in recent months and in the North African region following January's bloody hostage-taking at an Algerian gas plant.
Thousands of former rebels who fought to overthrow former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 have been employed in a protection force to look after Libyan oil and gas installations.
But in recent months activists and local militia have disrupted operations in Libya's main industry, pursuing goals such as better living conditions or more regional autonomy. In July they forced the closure of three major oil terminals.
This has hurt OPEC member Libya's oil output, which returned to close to pre-war levels of 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd) faster than analysts expected after the 2011 conflict.
Eni said gas flows from Mellitah to Gela, Sicily, had been halted and Italy's industry ministry had been alerted.
Speaking from the complex, where only emergency staff were present, Mellitah's Shagan told Reuters defense ministry vehicles were on their way.
"As soon as they guarantee the security, we will resume exports in 48 hours," he said. Defense Minister Mohammed al-Barghathi told Reuters the armed forces were on their way:
"They are under instructions to allow (former rebels) there to leave and then the army will look after the facility."
Mellitah has two plants - one treating oil and condensate from the Wafa fields and another for gas and condensate from the Sabratha offshore platform, according to Mellitah's website.
A senior Libyan oil official said production at both Wafa and Sabratha had been affected by the Mellitah shutdown.
A Zuwara resident said on Sunday tensions had escalated for days before the dispute. "There were two bouts of fighting yesterday," said the resident, who gave his name as Ayub.
"From what I understand, some of the Mellitah staff were evacuated, others came to Zuwara by boat from there."
In December, protesters seeking jobs and better living conditions shut down the Zueitina terminal for around two months, halting around 60,000-70,000 bpd of oil exports.
While the return of foreign oil companies - including Eni - to Libya helped it increase its output after the 2011 uprising, foreign workers have been slow to return to the country, awash with weapons, because of precarious security.
"Such disruptions hurt the Libyan people's national income," Shakmak said. "Security is the basis of stability and is needed to ensure the presence of foreign companies here."
Separately, four security force members were injured during a failed attempt to evacuate protesters who have occupied the national assembly in Tripoli for weeks demanding compensation for injuries sustained in the 2011 war, the government said.
The group of about 30 war wounded have forced congress members to find temporary venues for sessions since last month.
When security forces tried to get them to leave on Sunday, the protesters fought back, throwing a grenade, officials said.

He's right dude... if you cut Smiths (Jason/Eric), Scott, Pace, Tebow, Pouha you bring the cap value for the team down to 109 million. The cap was 130 last year and we will carry over 5 million in cap space. So the cap is 135 for us. That adds up to 26 million in cap space. Take out the rookie 6 and you have 20 million in space.

How can we afford to sign Landry long-term, Bell short-term AND Revis long-term? We would have way too much money in the secondary including Cromartie. Would love to have Landry back. But, I don't see how that's possible with all of our needs unless we compile 15 draft picks for this year.
how is the title to this "jets are set at safety next year" when theres all of the different scenarios and landry hitting FA?
I would love to get Landry signed, but think Bell needs to be replaced by a more athletic playmaking Safety. Bell was pretty bad this year IMO.
Lets settle this once and for all:
Jason Smith: $12 million savings with 0 dead money
Eric Smith: $3 million savings with 0 dead money
Calvin Pace: $8.56 million savings with $3 million dead money
Bart Scott: $7.15 million savings with $1.5 million dead money
Sione Pouha: $3.8 million savings with $2.3 million dead money
Tim Tebow: $1.5 milllion savings with $1 million dead money
That is a HELL of a lot of dead money. I don`t think you guys are factoring in the dead money. As you can see, that is $36 million in savings. We are at $141.6 million. Saving $36 gets us to roughly $105.6 million. Add about $5 million for rookie salaries, and that gets you to $110 million.
This does not equal $24 million unless you move or restructure contracts.
Good luck to us re-signing Landry. Good freaking luck.
It's going to be Bush and Allen vs. a low level veteran, possibly a re-signed Bell and a rookie or two.
I think he means you can't cut Pace and just sit on $3 million dead money AND still have to replace him. I think Pace understands there won't be many takers for his services, so you sign him for $1 million with incentives, are basically paying him $4 million for the year, and then he is gone the next year. Probably the same for Scott too. These two will then be situational players rather than every down.
Yea, I know...I just mean bring him back a at value that doesnt hurt us as much as losing him for nothing.
I cant say the same for Bart...he has a capable player behind him in demario, and there is no need to have a player with his attitude/mouth on the team. Plus rex can start to send a message that he isnt just gonna keep "his guys" forever

Would have Arteta like a shot tho. Not sure of the rules/gentlemen's agreement & CBA to check but there's a common sense argument that a British citizen (as Arteta now is, according to reports I've read) who's played in England for over five years is at least as English as another UK national who hadn't lived in or played football in England when he was called up to the national team & who doesn't qualify as "home grown" under the new Wafer rules.

Outscored Babel last year and is doing so again this year. Not sure what there is to argue over really. Babel shows promise one game then shows nothing for another 5-6. Babel is 2 years older than Ngog and cost almost 10 times more than him. Babel has scored 21 goals in 130 appearances whereas Ngog has scored 15 in 60. True, Babel has spent much of that time on the wing but Ngog probably has a better minutes/goal ratio as forward anyway.
If Babel wants to prove himself this is the season to do it.

They're both pretty dire tbh.
Nah, Northern Ireland has a massive problem because the Good Friday Agreement allows those born in Nothern Ireland to choose to have either British or Irish nationality.
FIFA requires players to posess a passport of the country they wish to represent, so if you're a Northern Irish Catholic, you can represent the Republic despite not being born in the Republic and having no family links to the Republic.
UIMM, there's been a few Northern Irish born players play for the Republic's underage side.
In news that makes me want to kick myself in the face; Roy is after Carlton Cole.
I'm pretty sure under FIFA's eligibility rules I'd be eligible to play for England or Wales as a British national. However, the gentleman's agreement between the four home boards would prevent me from representing either, as I have no links to either through lineage, being born there or being schooled there.
Players born in British territories overseas, such as Matt Le Tissier, or anyone born in say, British bases in Germany or Cyprus are automatically eligible for all 4 nations. Players like Arteta who might opt to gain British citizenship would be eligible for all 4, but I'm pretty sure the gentleman's agreement would kick in and they'd only be eligible for the nation that they'd qualified in. Could be interesting if Arteta had played for Swansea or Cardiff for 5 years instead of Everton, mind.
So does that apply with Aiden McGeady? Born in the Glasgow, and now playing for the Republic?
BBC Sport - Foootball - England call-up interests Spanish-born Mikel Arteta
And FTR, Hargreaves could of played for Wales since one of his mum was from there, and his dad's (IIRC) English.

Jan 30, 2009 at 6:41 am #1233655
A few months ago Huzefa found a reference on the internet to a book about inflammation free food. I ordered the book and promised to report back when I had " digested" it.
The book is based on the permise that a whole series of foods cause cellular inflammation which in turn exacerbates degenerative diseases such as arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, even cancer.
It says low glycemic index, the right balance of omega3 oils to omega6,and a series of other less widespread effects are anti inflammatory. I think what they say is good is probably good although personally I am not convinced that they had evidence to show how they had weighted the different good and bad factors.
The result is a long but not comprehensive list of foods with an inflammation index number attached.
To give you a flavour fish is generally very good, nuts are good,vegetables are good, olive, fish and rapeseed oil are good Some mostly lean meat is marginal,seeds and cereals are marginally negative. Fruit is marginally negative,most oils not mentioned above are negative, sweet things and junk food are very negative.
Potatoes are like cereals not vegetables, walnuts and pine nuts are like seeds not nuts.
You are supposed to balance the positive and negative components of your diet to end up slightly positive, not just eat restricted anti-inflammatory foods. So although fruit is mildly negative because of its glycemic index you are still supposed to eat it.
I have moved my day to day diet in the right direction according to the book.
My lightweight dehydrated dense calorie, chocolate rich trekking diet stayed negative and inflammatory.
I have just started to experiment with homemade flapjack: oats, rapeseed oil, brazil nuts, raisins, ginger and lemon baked and coated in chocolate to make it keep longer. This concoction would be inflammation neutral, 5.5 calories per gram, (as calorie dense as chocolate.)
The other problem to solve is how to take fish trekking without the cans.Jan 30, 2009 at 4:36 pm #1474146Derek,
You might consider experimenting with dried fish. Go to an East Asian grocery-they will have sealed packages of dried fish and squid, often times seasoned with chili, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, etc. Pretty tasty, IMO. You can eat it out of the package or reconstitute it in soups or stews. Another option is smoked/kippered fish, again in plastic or foil packets. Smoked salmon is hard ot beat.Jan 30, 2009 at 6:19 pm #1474165A few years ago there was a nutritional fad called The Zone Diet, as popularized by MD/author Barry Sears. According to the Zone Diet, every food you ate, and even the combinations of foods eaten, either resulted in beneficial hormonal responses or negative ones. In order to attain optimum health, avoid premature aging, etc., the Zone Diet required that you do everything right, eat nothing counter to the formula, and even offered in-depth meal plans, basically telling you exactly what to eat. Lots of foods were out, some of them rather surprisingly, and never mind the lack of scientific proof to support any of it.
In the case of inflammation-free food, I think we have another example of an author starting with an interesting premise, and then selectively finding or inventing the evidence to support it. The baseline arguments may even appear sound, and there IS a growing body of scientific evidence to supports the theory that inflammation is a root cause of many diseases, and even that diet has a significant role to play. But I think we need to be wary of the sensational tactics some of these "doctors" turned best-selling authors are using in order to get the attention they do. For starters, the "fruit is sorta bad" argument should jump right out at you. That just doesn't sit right, and anyone who tries to make it some nutritional law is being disingenuous.
Quantifying foods as either good or bad, positive or negative, assigning numbers, calculating every bite, is not a healthy way of thinking about food. Better to take a broad view of the issue of inflammation, learn the latest scientific thinking, see what various nutrition experts have to say about various types of food, and then draw your own conclusions. No one has all the answers, nor is there one ultimate answer that applies to everyone. The black and white point of view sells books, but it rarely educates.
Jan 30, 2009 at 7:50 pm #1474193Most every diet book is a ripoff, as Brett alludes to. There will be a newly named diet every year. An inflammtion index for foods is junk science. See if the author has a psychology degree.

Real Weddings
Country Wedding Heather Forsythe Outdoor Wedding Pink Week
It's our last official day celebrating breast cancer awareness on SMP…I'm kind of sad to see Pink Week come to a close! But, I will say, I have some pretty great pink inspired real weddings to share with you today so let's get right to it!
Heather Forsythe, out of Charleston, sent me this gorgeous pink wedding. Let me tell you what I really love about this wedding…the couple paired a frilly pink palette with a super rustic, outdoor space making the whole wedding seem mismatched in that incredibly perfect way. To me, this is what a beautiful wedding does…it brings together all things beautiful, but with different textures and styles so that nothing seems too planned or over designed. More pics on the way!

I don't understand what the fuss is all about ... my Wi-fi network will help a passer-by get a more accurate location if he or she doesn't have GPS enabled on the device. Anyway, any stranger standing next to my house can see that I'm running a Wi-fi network ... it's public information.
It's like you'd get mad that Google indexes your public website. Now with the _nomap suffix you have the equivalent to robots.txt
Paranoia much?

Not long ago we reported that Cee-Lo Green was hit with allegations of sexual assault. A woman accused the singer of drugging her with ecstasy while out to eat over the summer, and claimed to remember nothing until she was naked in bed with Green present.
A rep for the Voice co-judge recently made a statement on the matter:
Given that the matter is under investigation, we obviously cannot speak as freely as we'd like. What we can say is that these allegations are despicable, untrue, and deeply hurtful to Cee Lo, his children and his family.
When all the facts are out, the rep said, "it will be clear that if anyone was victimized here, it was Cee Lo. In the meantime, Cee Lo is deeply grateful for the overwhelming support he has received from his fans, his friends, and his colleagues." [RS]

Courtenay residents glad 'lookout' will not be threatened
The City of Courtenay has responded to residents' concerns regarding a sewer lift station near the Millard estuary, and will look at an alternate site.
Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula, City staff, interested groups and area residents met Thursday at the previously proposed site for a sewer lift station at the corner of Sandpiper Drive and Millard Road.
Jangula said he was pleased to hear the residents' were not against coming onto the City's sewer system generally.
" 'We're not opposed to sewers, we want sewers' — that came out loud and clear from the people that were there," Jangula reported to council at Monday's meeting. "Basically they were in favour of everything, just if we could move that location away."
The meeting was organized after an excavator showed up at the site July 6. Residents were shocked, and concerned about the lift station's proximity to the Millard Estuary, as well as being right next to a popular area commonly called the 'Millard Outlook' or simply, the 'Lookout.'
The City will look at a spot across Sandpiper Drive on the corner of the Millard Nature Park, which could be hidden amongst trees instead of out in the open in plain view of the lookout area.
According to Courtenay director of planning Peter Crawford, the City is doing an environmental check of the new site, noting no major environmental issues were found at first glance. Archeological research also needs to be done, but the City asked the contractor to pause all work in the area while they evaluate the new site.
Area resident Steve Williams, who is the spokesperson for the group, said he's pleased with how the meeting went and residents feel like the City is listening to their concerns.
"It's good," said Williams. "We seem to be making progress and we've talked about forming a committee including the residents to review the design and to talk about further developments — as opposed to a 'them and us' situation, we would become a little more integrated."
Crawford confirmed the City is considering forming a committee during the design stage, and will keep residents informed of what's going on with the project.
He pointed out this area is already inside City limits and is not part of the larger sewer servicing project that is being considered for the regional district's Area A.
Buckstone Developments would pay the vast majority of the installation cost, according to Crawford, and Courtenay taxpayers are not subsidizing any of the costs, although area residents would chip in for some connection costs.
Crawford noted where exactly the sewer lines will run to connect houses to the lift station placement of the sewer lines has not been decided.

Matthew Berry
After being in full-time ministry for 12 years, Nathan felt he hit a ceiling in his career. "I deeply wanted to expand my horizon and knew that Wake Forest School of Divinity was the piece I was missing," he says. Following graduation, Nathan will work full-time with PassportParking, a Charlotte-based software company, and practice his ministry at Mosaic Church in Huntersville, N.C.
Q: Who have been your biggest cheerleaders?
A: There have been so many people who have encouraged me along the way, but Professors Jill Crainshaw and Bill Leonard have been there for me every step of the way. Wake Forest has allowed me space to grow while managing family, work and school full-time.
Q: What surprised you about your time at Wake Forest?
A: Without question, the most surprising thing about my three years here at Wake Forest is the depth of relationships I have been able to experience with both my peers as well as faculty.
Q: Describe your internship experience.
A: I was able to participate in an internship working with a non-profit organization called "What if Everyone." I learned there are so many people looking to find an organization to volunteer with and so many organizations looking for volunteers, but both have difficulty finding each other. At "What if Everyone," I helped bring these two groups together. The most rewarding part was connecting passionate people with the right organizations to serve local communities.
Q: What is the most dramatic change you have undergone during divinity school?
A: Seeing and experiencing God outside of my own experience and allowing myself to explore God in new places and faces.
Q: What does earning this degree mean to you?
A: Earning a Masters of Divinity has been a wonderful, personal accomplishment. My degree will allow me to minister in a more broad context and in a variety of settings.

The national constitution committee is seeking dedicated, detail-oriented RASCals to help draft new Articles of Incorporation for the RASC, in time for the 2012 Edmonton GA and annual meeting.
Join the Constitution Committee and shape RASC's Future! The new Canada Not for Profit Corporations Act (CNCA) will soon be declared law (expected in fall of 2011). This means we have no choice but to overhaul and restructure our governance documents. With the help of expert, external legal assistance, the committee will prepare new Articles of Incorporation to be approved by special resolution at the 2012 Annual Meeting at the Edmonton GA. We've only got one year to pull this governance rabbit out of the RASC hat.
For more information about what this means, and what will be involved, please see the following documents:
- NC111 Executive Committee Report (pg. 4-5)
http://www.rasc.ca/private/reports/ExecComm_NC111_Report.pdf - NC112 Executive Committee Report (pg. 3)
http://www.rasc.ca/private/reports/ExecComReportNC112.pdf - NC112 Executive Director's Report (pg. 3-4)
And also see this page from Industry Canada: http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/cd-dgc.nsf/eng/h_cs02145.html
Requirements for the job:
Familiarity with existing RASC By-Laws and careful attention to detail are a must. An ability to contribute a considerable amount of time to this important project is also necessary. Legal experience in governance issues as they apply to charitable organizations would be a welcome asset, but is not required. The ability to play well with others is definitely an asset :-)
Interested in making a big contribution? Please contact 1st Vice President Glenn Hawley at glennhawley @ shaw . ca.

Great feel good music |
Reviewer: Anonymous
I love this song. In fact I love this whole album. This is a bit of a retrospective of Elton's career in the music business and his relationship with Bernie. There's fragments of the themes from Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy as well as a tiny bit from Rocket Man, and probably more I'm either missing or not remembering. There's clever use of words from earlier songs to describe their memories of those times. The music is a return to the earlier sound, but with all the complexity and polish of someone who's been doing this for 40+ years. Good stuff!!

The Community Spotlight - 04/13/2012
By ZombiePie 21 Comments
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! For those that went to PAX East 2012 last weekend I hope you all had a fun but safe trip, unlike Sweep who got away with raping Dave. Also you may have noticed that like last week there have been almost no Quick Looks this week. Unfortunately Vinny and Drew are out of the office, and the engineers that are here are not video engineers. If you wanted to know at one point Alexis and Patrick spent about an hour trying to figure out how the capture equipment worked. As a result there's not much in terms of housekeeping other than the site engineers are still busy re-designing all of Giant Bomb. Finally here's GB user TurboMan's latest Best of Quick Look video:Community Activities

Wonderful Wikis
The original fighting game Skullgirls has received an out-pour of interest from the Giant Bomb community judging by it's impressive wiki article and the same can be said of Legend of Grimlock, a modern dungeon crawler. If you had no idea that there is an iPhone/iPad tie-in game for Mass Effect 3 check out the wiki for Mass Effect: Infiltrator. Finally check out the recent good work on the Mage Knight franchise page and Ridge Racer, and get nostalgic with the Punch-Out!! Arcade and Commodore 64 wiki articles.

There's more grief in store for the "Grey's Anatomy" gang. Last week's startling announcement that Seattle Grace Hospital was up for sale and in for some harsh changes as a result, leads the docs to make a dangerous move in this week's episode.
In protest, the plane crash survivors drop a bombshell of their own…well, five, by announcing a battery of surprise resignations. So who's quitting? Nearly everyone it seems!
"I'd like to tender my resignation, effective immediately," Derek informs Pegasus, the prospective buyers.
"Me too. I quit," says Meredith. Callie and Arizona immediately follow suit in solidarity.
The news stuns Owen, especially when Cristina also reluctantly falls in line: "I quit too."
Watch the Dramatic Scene Below.
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/watch/Grey-s-Anatomy/5191720111929016112/18193987969/We-Quit/embed 580 476]
The fallout from the plane crash, and the survivors' $15 million dollar settlements that burned the hospital's financial security, continues to rock Seattle Grace. The crisis brought on the arrival of Dr. Alana Cahill (Constance Zimmer), the hospital bureaucrat who's simultaneously shaking up the hospital while trying to save it, and isn't winning many friends after implementing new policies and procedures that are seriously pissing off the docs.
"She's trying to keep everybody employed and trying to keep a place open where sick people can go and get better. If there's some people who can't handle it, then those people should go to a smaller practice," Zimmer told xfinityTV in a recent interview. "It's a very thankless job because people only see the bad things in it and they don't see that she's trying to keep everybody figuratively alive."

Viewers may lighten up on Alana when they learn why she gave up being a surgeon herself and discover more about her past with Weber.
"We do dive into the background of why she did give up being a surgeon in the upcoming episodes so I think that maybe when you learn more about her through that, you understand why the tension between her and Dr. Weber is what it is, because it reminds her of a time that wasn't such a good time in her life," Zimmer added.

A New Indicator Of Poor Prognosis In Node-Negative Colorectal Cancer Patients
Tumor budding at the invasive tumor front of colorectal cancer is recognized as an independent prognostic factor significantly related to both lymph node and distant metastasis. Several lines of evidence seem to suggest that tumor buds may, to some extent, represent malignant colorectal cancer stem cells because of their potential for migration and re-differentiation locally and at sites of metastasis. However, phenotypic characterization of cancer stem cells in general is still debated although at least 8 putative stem cell markers have been suggested including CD166, CD44s, EpCAM, ALDH1, CD133, CD24, CD90, and ABCG5. Little is known about the potential of these proteins to act as prognostic biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer and most of these proteins have never before been explored within tumor buds themselves.
A research article published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addressed this problem. Considering the apparent stem cell-like properties of tumor buds and association of budding with adverse clinical outcomes, the research team led by Dr. Alessandro Lugli performed immunohistochemical staining of 8 putative cancer stem cell markers, namely CD166, CD44s, EpCAM, ALDH1, CD133, CD24, CD90, and ABCG5. The expression within tumor buds was evaluated, their frequency of occurrence and their potential prognostic significance in patients with colorectal cancer were determined.
Their findings showed that expression of EpCAM and particularly of ABCG5 within the tumor buds of colorectal cancer are frequent events. Moreover, expression of EpCAM or ABCG5 within tumor buds themselves has the potential to stratify patients with colorectal cancer into prognostic subgroups. This was particularly pronounced for patients with node-negative disease.
The results of this study could have important implications for patients with lymph node-negative colorectal cancer. Stratification of this group of patients could help to identify those likely to have a particularly poor outcome who could perhaps be considered for adjuvant therapy.
The study is characterized technically by an excellent application of immunohistochemistry and provides interesting evidence to aid the understanding of the correlation between cancer stem cell markers at the invasive front of colorectal cancer and prognosis. The findings suggest that EpCAM and ABCG5 in tumor buds may be useful biomarkers of poor outcome in this subgroup of patients. However, further studies are necessary to address the important issue of whether EpCAM- or ABCG5-positive tumor buds indeed represent migrating colorectal cancer stem cells.
Hostettler I, Zlobec I, Terracciano L, Lugli A. ABCG5-positivity in tumor buds is an indicator of poor prognosis in node-negative colorectal cancer patients. World J Gastroenterol 2010; 16(6): 732-739 http://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/16/732.asp

Apple and Sultana Crumble Bars
This is my second entry for Tea Time Treats hosted on alternate months by Karen from Lavender and Lovage and Kate from What Kate Baked. The theme for November is Ginger and Bonfire Treats, hosted by Karen. I was leafing through my Hummingbird bakery cake days book and came across this recipe which is in the 'Halloween and Bonfire Night' section. It's a lovely recipe which is relatively simple to prepare. I love the spices mixed with the apples and sultanas. I'm sure I've mentioned previously that I'm not a fan of ginger but you can barely taste it in this recipe which is perfect for me. The crumble is buttery and soft with the chewiness of the oats, plus it makes it seem slightly healthier!
finish with more crumble - I didnt have enough to cover the whole top so some of the sultanas were burnt!
Recipe from the hummingbird bakery cake days
200g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
200g unsalted butter, softened
250g light brown sugar
120g rolled oats
300g granny smith apples (approximately 2.5-3 apples peeled, cored and chopped)
4 tablespoons cornflour
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground ginger
175g sultanas

I'm beginning to understand why our fearless leader President Barack Obama doesn't think too highly of the U.S. Supreme Court.
I used to think Obama simply dislikes anyone with the audacity to disagree with him, but now, oh wait, no, that is all it is.
He really detests when people oppose him or his ideas, especially, it seems, if they wear a robe.
Maybe he always wanted to be in their elite legal club. Who knows?

Anxiety DisordersBipolar DisorderDepression: Depression & Related ConditionsSchizophreniaEating Disorders
As the title implies, Straight Talk about Your Child's Mental Health is aimed at parents concerned about their children's emotional and behavioral problems. It is organized in three parts; first, an introduction to some general issues in child psychology and the causes of childhood mental illness; second, a more detailed discussion of different kinds of disorders; and finally a discussion of how to get good professional help. Author Stephen Faraone is a well-known psychologist, Director of Pediatric Psychopharmacology Research at Massachusetts General Hospital, and is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His writing style is easily understandable, especially because each chapter is split up into many short sections, and there are many tables and boxes summarizing essential information. He also uses many narrative cases to illustrate his points and readers will be able to relate to them very easily. For example, the first child he describes is Jerry who is a "live wire." At age 8, he had difficulty at school, rarely able to pay attention for prolonged periods and always handing in his homework late. At age 9, he is starting to lose his friends because he lacks important social skills. He is very active, climbing all over the furniture and running around. He is also developing a mean streak that is further distancing him from other people. Later, in the chapter on disruptive behavior, Faraone confirms readers' suspicions that Jerry has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The other chapters in the middle part discuss moodiness, worry and anxiety, learning disorder, abnormal development, and different forms of obsessive-compulsive disorders. Together, these cover most of the common childhood mental disorder.
Faraone presents a picture of psychiatric knowledge as uncontroversial and well-confirmed. He does acknowledge that the label of mental illness can be stigmatizing, but he generally argues that it is better to get a child's mental disorders diagnosed and treated rather than to ignore a problem or just try to adjust to it. He acknowledges that parents will often be in doubt about whether to seek out a mental health professional, but he argues that this very doubt is a good indication that a professional would be able to help. He explains that it is a myth that psychiatric diagnoses are not objective and that psychiatric disorders such as ADHD are overdiagnosed. He also emphasizes that it a mistake to blame parents for their children's psychological problems.
When it comes to seeking professional help, Faraone gives his readers information for dealing with rather idealized circumstances. National trends are for prescriptions to be handed out by general practitioners and visits with specialists to be very time-limited. Faraone assumes that most children will go through assessment and evaluations for mental disorders, but this tends to be the hallmark of only the best treatment, and is often not adequately covered by health insurance or managed care plans. He also says very little about what to do when a child has been seen a number of health care professionals and each has given a different opinion, which is also a common experience of parents. However, he does include a chapter on "Working with the Mental Health Care System," in which he spells out some of the main ways in which children's psychological assessment and treatment is organized, including the provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
As far as treatment goes, Faraone is dismissive about scares concerning psychiatric drugs. He says that serious side effects are rare, but they do exist, and recommends that parents balance that risk with the possible effects of leaving a disorder untreated. He confirms the well-known fact that most psychiatric drugs have not been tested extensively on children and adolescents, but says that, at least in the case of SSRI antidepressants such as Prozac and Zoloft, doctors "have shown that the SSRIs also help youth with depression" (p. 303). This was written before most SSRIs were banned for use in children in the UK at the end of 2003 because of fears that they increased suicidality and the FDA in the US had issued warnings about the use of such medications in young people, but not before other countries had issued similar warnings.
Faraone follows this with a remarkable argument, which is worth quoting at length.
Suppose a parent decides to wait a year before medicating a 3-year-old for what the doctor views as a serious case of bipolar disorder; which has clearly interfered with the child's ability to make friendships and have normal relationships with family members. The parent's rationale is that, despite the doctor's opinion, it is possible that the child will outgrow the problems. The rationale resonates with common sense, but if the doctor is correct, the parent will have added 1 year of distress and disability to the child's life. That one year is one forth of the 4-year-old child's life. So from this perspective, delaying treatment for this 3-year-old is equivalent to having a 30-year-old wait 10 years. (p. 304).
The assumption here seems to be that the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in a three-year-old boy is uncontroversial and that there are well-confirmed treatments for the disorder. But this assumption is simply false: during the early twentieth century has been serious doubt that young children can be diagnosed with major mental illness, and there continues to be considerable dispute and debate within the profession as to what the diagnostic criteria for those disorders are in very young children, and how different disorders should be distinguished from each other. Furthermore, while it is possible that medication will help a child with such emotional difficulties, there is little evidence that medications are helpful in such young children. It is also reasonable to wonder what effects such medications could have on developing brains.
Some might consider my criticisms here to be somewhat radical so it is worth emphasizing that they are based on data presented by the psychiatric establishment. In their chapter on "Mood Disorder in Prepubertal Children," (Textbooks of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, [American Psychiatric Publishing, 2004]), Elizabeth Weller at al. say that "little is yet known about childhood bipolar disorder" (p. 414), and point out that there are almost no published double-blind, placebo controlled medication studies on mania in children (p. 425). What studies there have been tend to be on school age children. Furthermore, there have been reports of adverse side effects of medications. Thus Faraone seems overconfident about the beneficial effects of medication. His laboring the point that to withhold medication for a year would mean that a four-year-old would have gone untreated for a quarter of his life is equally problematic. A child's early life is full of changes, and to wait a year to see if he or she settles down is very different from leaving a thirty-year-old untreated for a decade. None of this is to say that it is wrong to medicate a young child with emotional difficulties, but it is important to realize that it is a decision that is being made on the basis of a lack of knowledge, as an experiment in the hope that it might help more than it harms. Such a decision is inevitably a risk and will be difficult to make.
The current trend in psychiatry is for rapidly increasing numbers of children to receive psychiatric diagnoses and to be taking psychotropic medications. Given this trend, it can be helpful for parents to have the basics of child psychiatry spelled out in simple language, and Faraone does an excellent job at this. However, as with much of the rest of the medical profession, ultimately parents may need to use a wide variety of information sources to educate themselves about their children's psychological problems and mental illnesses. Straight Talk about Your Child's Mental Health is a valuable resource, but it presents just one perspective, and does not provide much of a short-cut for parents who have to weigh the various available perspectives and different kinds of evidence when deciding what to do if their child has emotional problems.

Facebook recently expanded the list of gender options for we humans.
And it's about time!
We've lived long enough in the uncertainty of male/female delineation.
There are currently 58 gender options.
I expect this number will go up as other gender groups express outrage at being overlooked.
I perused the list to make sure that my current gender option (male) is correct.
Honestly, I'm not sure.
There are so many choices!
And some of those genders are spectacular!
These are much more interesting than 'boy'.
It put me in the mood to make up a gender myself.
I came up with "Lacto-ovo-venetian-spring-loaded-gender".
And I guess I've always felt like a Lacto-ovo-venetian-spring-loaded person
…trapped in a man's body.
My hope is that someone working at Facebook can identify with these feelings
…and add this option to the list.
Surely I'm not alone.
Do you think 58 is enough?
What gender options would you like to see added to list?

I, personally, think this is hilarious! You can try to duplicate it if you want, but I'm not sure if it will work. I wanted to know if I knew the names of all the characters, so I went to Yahoo search, and typed in "amazing world gumball wiki" in the seach bar and searched. When it came back, as always, underneath the link to click to take me to the whole TAWOG wiki site were a buch of little ones. I clicked on "cast and characters", and, instead of saying Gumball Watterson as the main character, it said Porno Watterson. I thought I was gonna die laughing! Just so you know, I do not think this show is extremely gay, I just think this is funny.
