Cato Neimoidia: The Eastern Arch 2
After crossing the walkway you'll come to a more open area. There you'll be attacked by a AT-MTs. Defeat it and press forward. You'll come to some another platform that needs to be knocked loose with a saber throw. Bring it down to a reachable level and jump to it. From there, you'll be to jump up to another narrow walkway on your left. Move quickly to the next platform or you'll be gunned down by sniper fire. Once you reach the platform kill all the resident troopers and start your way across the next connecting walkway. On the opposite end you'll find another AT-MTs alongside another mixed squad of troopers. This section can actually be very difficult. Your initial instinct will likely be to try and take down the walker by bouncing its missiles back it. That said, trying to do this will have you gunned down by a pair of snipers. Rather than suffer through trying to do this multiple times, there are two strategies that work fairly well. The pillar at the center of the platform is hollow. Inside you'll find some explosive barrels. You can use your force grip to carefully aim and fling them across. If done well this will kill the snipers, allowing you to deflect the walker's missiles unscathed. Additionally, you can just trying charging across and hitting them head on. There are some riot troopers present that can make it tricky, but if you stay evasive it's very possible to kill the snipers and then take down the walker and his remaining escort up close.
Whichever method you choose, once the area is clear of enemies, proceed forward. You'll advance into another round room with a hovering globe at its center. This connects of course to another long hallway guarded by snipers. Again, fling debris at them to disrupt their attacks and advance down the hallway. Once in close, kill them and exit onto the adjoining walkway on the left side of the room. On the opposite side of the walkway is a large area populated by a large group of enemies. There will be two AT-MTs to take care of as well as a squad of riot troopers and several Sith acolytes.
After you've cleared out this bit of opposition, head into the room at the center of the area where you'll find a small elevator. Ride it to the level above and you'll come to a very long walkway. As you start down it a gunship will swoop in and open fire on you and destroying the walkway. Start dashing forward as quickly as you can, ignoring any storm troopers you encounter. As you near the end you'll automatically leap off the side of the bridge and land in a room below.
Exit the room by blasting the exit doors open with a charged force push and you'll enter a large two tiered area filled with storm troopers. Even with snipers lining the second level you'll probably have little trouble clearing the room out. Once you've killed all the enemies, look for another pair of closed double doors. They'll be to the left hand side of the large force field that splits the room. Blast them open and you'll find yourself back outside. Follow the area to the right and you'll find a second set of doors. Force push them open and head into the next room. It's fairly similar to the last one; large, two-tiered and filled with enemies. The primary difference is this one adds Sith acolytes to the mix. Once the room is cleared, head toward the red force field opposite the hologram of Jabba the Hutt. On the left hand side of the room, on the second level is a small area surrounded by blue glass. In the center of this will be a saber throw indicator. Follow the suggestion and throw your lightsabers, the glass will shatter and the structure at its center will fall revealing a chute. Jump down to the area below.
When you land on the floor below you'll find yourself in another large room resembling a casino. Head into the main portion of the room and you'll encounter an AT-MT. Destroy it and jump up to the second level of the area to kill the storm troopers roosting up there. Another AT-MT will eventually join the fray, joined by some Sith acolytes and riot troopers. Wipe them out with some force power goodness and then look nearby for a round platform just in front of another elevated glass cubicle. Like in the last room, this can be destroyed with a saber throw to reveal another chute.

The First Bachelorette Out the Limo Offers Retribution for Women Everywhere,
And an Anxious Brad Must Confront DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft Before He Moves On
This Season's Highlights Include a Private Concert by the Hit Band Train, a Surprise Serenade
By Superstar Seal, Romantic Trips to Costa Rica and Anguilla and, in a "Bachelor" "First,"
A Spectacular Trip to South Africa for Seductive Overnight Dates and the Emotional Finale
Brad Womack, who shocked "Bachelor" fans by rejecting both of his final bachelorettes in one of the most controversial finales in the series' history, returns three years later, having undergone a radical personal transformation which he feels sure has readied him to make a genuine commitment to a relationship. He begins his search for true love, choosing from among 30 beautiful bachelorettes, when "The Bachelor" premieres MONDAY, JANUARY 3 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. This will be the 15th edition of ABC's hit romance reality series.
Womack, 38, did the unthinkable by most fans' standards and did not choose either Jenni Croft or DeAnna Pappas on his finale in November 2007. Disappointed in himself for wasting a great opportunity, Brad kept to himself for two to three months afterwards. Unaware at the time that he really wasn't ready to commit to a relationship and not knowing the reasons why, his fears and worries were validated when a media firestorm and viewers from across the country let him know what they were thinking. For the last three years Brad has undergone intensive therapy, which took him on a painful journey of self-discovery that led to personal revelations about his commitment issues. Delving deep into his family history and his unresolved feelings about his absent father, Brad was able to gain an understanding of why he would push people away as soon as they developed feelings for him. In the meantime, he put his head down and worked - buying and selling three companies and building one from the ground up. And although he has dated during this time, he hasn't had a serious relationship. This revitalized man is convinced he is a better person than in 2007 and is still optimistic and confident about finding love on "The Bachelor." He is more ready than ever to let himself fall in love, find a wife and start a family.
In "Episode 1501," Brad returns to the Malibu mansion, but is caught completely off guard when Chris Harrison escorts in two surprise guests - DeAnna and Jenni! As if he weren't anxious enough, Brad must face the two women he scorned three years ago. He attempts to sincerely apologize to them, but will they accept his heartfelt mea culpa? The 30 women are not sure whom they're going to meet, and there is no telling how they'll react when they find out who the controversial man is. Brad knows he has a lot to prove, and his worst fears are confirmed when the first bachelorette greets him with a slap to the face. Many of the women question Brad's intentions, but things lighten up when one emotional bachelorette jumps into his arms, and then a fun-loving nanny playfully grabs his rear end.
Inside the mansion, the women are bowled over by Brad's good looks but continue to express concerns about this past. Brad immediately assures them that he's a changed man, asking them to please give him a chance to show it. They respond by asking him some tough questions, putting the nervous Bachelor on the spot. But Brad does hit it off with a sweet Southern girl who doesn't care about his past. The competition heats up with the arrival of the "first impression" rose. As the women begin to believe in Brad, they fight for his attention. One woman with a "rip-roaring" career leaves Brad speechless as he samples her work, while a dancer from a famed troupe tries to teach Brad a few dance moves, and a mysterious model literally shows him her fangs, leading Brad to question this enigmatic woman's motives. But one shy blonde is ready to fall in love, even if she's not ready to tell Brad about her tragic past.
The Bachelor awards the "first impression" rose to the woman who turned his night around. Finally, after a sincere thank you to the women for giving him a second chance, he regretfully must eliminate 10 bachelorettes, confident that his future wife is among the 20 women left.
A list of the bachelorettes will be released shortly.
Romantic and adventurous dates will reach new heights this season, testing the ladies' perseverance in pursuing their romantic objective, along with fun, exciting and exotic dates that will elicit real and raw passions. One lucky bachelorette receives an extravagant makeover and then is escorted by Brad to share a private concert by the hit band Train at the Hollywood Bowl. Brad takes another woman to the famed Capitol Records studios for a recording session, where superstar Seal steps in to serenade the couple as only he can. A group of the women meet up with the Bachelor to shoot public service announcements for the American Red Cross, trying to show him another side of their personalities. Nine bachelorettes join Brad in the radio studio of the popular "Loveline" show, where they reveal their hopes and fears about love to celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Drew. The air crackles with passion and fireworks when Brad takes 11 bachelorettes on a wild trip to Las Vegas, including a visit to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a very competitive NASCAR date and a behind-the scenes visit to Cirque du Soleil's "Viva Elvis" show to learn aerial ballet routines. And then the remaining women fly from the bright lights of the Vegas strip to the exotic jungles of Costa Rica, where Brad takes one lucky lady zip-lining over the treetops, and a group rappels down a treacherous waterfall. The tropical island paradise of Anguilla is the next stop for an exciting Caribbean adventure. The final three women are treated to a thrilling trip to South Africa, which serves as a romantic background as passions ignite. Who will win Brad's heart? Will he be able to finally overcome his fear of commitment and perhaps propose to his future wife? Or will he end up disappointed?
As in the past, women will continue to be eliminated each week, but if at any point along the way a woman should decide that she's no longer interested in the Bachelor, she can reject his invitation to continue dating. Some lucky women will meet his family, and he will visit their hometowns for a slice of their lives in an effort to determine the woman with whom he is most compatible.
Hosted by Chris Harrison, "The Bachelor" is a production of Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton are the executive producers.
This episode of "The Bachelor" will be available on ABC.com the day after airing on the network for users to watch online. For more information on "The Bachelor" visit ABC.com.
"The Bachelor" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with stereo sound. This program carries a TV-14,L parental guideline.

INTRODUCTION to "A DEDICATION TO SPINOZA'S INSIGHTS":
I stumbled upon Spinoza after
I studied Calculus in college.
definitions of sorrow, boredom, joy; hate, indifference, love, seemed to
me to lend themselves to Calculus expression. The more I studied these
equations the more I realized how important they were in understanding
roller-coaster emotions and everyday relationshipsyou love not out of
altruism, but out of self-interest.
As I kept studying Spinoza, I was really hooked
when what happened to
me is what Elwes thought happened to Spinoza.
From Elwes's Introduction to his Translations of Spinoza's Works.
[37] The biography
of the philosopher supplies us in some sort
with the genesis of his system. His youth had been passed in the
study of Hebrew learning, of metaphysical speculations on the
nature of the Deity. He was then confronted with the scientific
aspect of the world as revealed by Descartes. At first the two
visions seemed antagonistic, but, as he gazed, their outlines
blended and commingled, he found himself in the presence not of
two, but of ONE; the universe unfolded itself to him as the necessary 1D6 = ONE
result of the Perfect and Eternal G-D.
This "unfolding itself" was
to me an infinite "organic interdependence
of Importance
of 1D6 = ONE
parts" which led directly to the "Golden Rule"; not out of altruism but of
enlightened self-interest.
Now, after some fifty-six years, I am still studying Spinoza and gaining
ever-new insights.
PURPOSE of "A DEDICATION TO SPINOZA'S INSIGHTS":
We all want Joy.
We all want Love.
We all want Peace-of-Mind.
To get them, a profound understanding of them helps.
Spinoza's insights help provide such understanding.
Your understanding minimizes your loss of Peace-of-Mind.
Aristotle "Nicomachean Ethics - Book I":
"Shall we not, like archers who have a mark to aim at, be more
likely to hit upon what we should? If so, we must try, in outline
at least, to determine what it is, . . . " Bk.XIV:1:4174.
TP1:(1:4:2):288Spinoza's Dictum:
"I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, E2:XLIX(69)
not to scorn human actions, but to understand them." George Eliot
{Use this dictum to understand your own human
actions. HampshireUnderstanding
This is not altruistic, for there is no such thing as altruism (by hypothesis); Mark Twain
but for achieving the peace-of-mind that comes with understanding. Thus, like
a Religion (Spinoza's Religion), the dictum is an hypothesis designed to achieve
That does not say that Spinoza
always succeeded; but that, at his better
moments, he tried. The same can be said of us; at our better moments, we try.}
"Book III is valuable for showing Spinoza's Method for achieving Mark Twain
Wisdom (PcM): posit G-D, define Conatus, define an infinite thing
by its Essence, and define finite things by their causes. These precise
definitions lead to the understanding which brings Blessedness.

From Humbul Humanities Hubhttp://www.humbul.ac.uk/output/full2.php?id=4496
The Humbul Humanities Hub aims to be UK higher and further education's first choice for accessing online humanities resources.
"A Dedication to Spinoza's InsightsJoseph
B. Yesselman's Home Page"is
a resource that investigates and participates in the philosophy
of the seventeenth-century Dutch thinker Benedict
de Spinoza (occasionally known as Baruch de Spinoza,
or simply Benedict/Baruch Spinoza).
The site's author is Joseph B.
Yesselman, a retired structural engineer who has had a lifelong
interest in the philosopher in question. Spinoza's
philosophy itself has been subject to various interpretations,
although he is perhaps best known for identifying
G-D and Nature, and
in doing so arguing that there is only one type of substance
therefore all things are indivisible;
interdependent parts of one infinite organism}.
His arguments to this end can be found in his most famous publication
(albeit a posthumous one), his "Ethics".
The resource {Yesselman's
Web Pages} itself
at first appears muddled with
apparently unrelated brief sections and shorthand hyperlinks
following one another with some rapidity.
However, the author warns us that the site's content
should not be approached in the way one reads a novel,
but instead, one should "surf" the site,
following whatever hyperlinks tickle
the fancy. This proviso granted,
Yesselman provides a good deal of interesting personal insight,
particularly into Spinoza's philosophy of emotion
(and of note here is Yesselman's relating of Spinoza's
philosophy to calculus,
and to the work of Mark Twain).
The resource also contains, among other things, a
glossary of Spinoza's philosophical concepts
and definitions,
hyperlinks to Spinoza resources hosted elsewhere
on the web, bibliographical
information, and commentary and other secondary
material by Yesselman. The
wealth of information and opinion is vast, and for those who have the patience
to master the form of the resource, the
resource will prove useful.

Halloween is a few days away and you may be wondering how to dress for the occasion. But with a tight schedule and maybe an even tighter budget, how can you mark this festive day -- without going overboard?
With a DIY costume, of course. This year I've cooked up an awesome costume (just follow me @alywalansky to eventually see it), and I am creating it entirely from things already in my closet. What is it? Just wait and see … I don't want to give away the idea! But if you are looking for some super-fun ideas for yourself, I'm happy to share some of my other ideas.
1. Zombie
Zombies are all the rage of late. To steal this look, take any hair spray you have and spray the underside of your hair, bottom to top and blow out -- this adds zombie-ready texture, lift, and fullness while boosting volume directly at the root. Since some zombies have been dead for ages, feel free to choose any era of clothing you want and go vintage. And since they did just claw their way out of their grave to kill you (or be your friend), imitate their unkempt look to the last detail, including their nails. Yes, this means adding dirt and grime under your nails. Gross, yes. But points for authenticity.
To go for a pale, ghastly look, use a simple base to paint your skin yellowish-green or even bluish. Don't forget your neck, shoulders and hands. Then, finish the effect: Turn your teeth yellow with Halloween makeup bought at your local Halloween shop, and add in wrinkles, dark eyebrows, bumps, bruises and scars throughout your face, arms and neck to further emphasize your overall un-deadness.
2. Geisha
Geishas always have appeal. This is a super-easy look to master too. If you have a kimono-style robe in your closet, your costume is ready. Then just stick some feathers, flowers, or even pencils in your bun. For geisha glam makeup, apply a pale foundation -- the paler the better. Use a makeup sponge to apply a reflective powder over the layer of foundation. Apply a light to silvery-pink blush onto your cheeks with a large brush. Get the fullest part of your cheeks for the best effect.
Now for your eyes: Cover your eyebrows in foundation and draw new eyebrows over them with a black eyeliner pencil. The new eyebrows should be fairly straight, rising slightly as they get further from the eyes. Next, use a dark-black color and apply thick eyeliner and smudge into the lashes. Put a light coat of silvery eye shadow next and let the shadow reach all the way up to your eyebrows. Curl your eyelashes and use several coats of mascara for a thick, black look
Lightly coat your lips with foundation before using a lipstick brush to apply a deep, cherry-red lipstick. The brush works better than a lipstick tube to evenly and accurately apply the lipstick.
3. Supermodel
This is all about the cat eyes, severely sleek straight hair (or a tight bun) and the most sexy-annoyed look you can muster.
To go for fab supermodel eyes, curl your lashes, then dot on a light layer of eye shadow primer or oil-free foundation from lids to brows. You do this because both will grip onto makeup, and prevent the color from migrating. Gently pull your lid upward so you can see its inner rim. Line the rim with a few coats of jet-black waterproof pencil. Then line the inner rim of your lower lash line. Layering liquid liner over pencil is the key to a stay-put look -- the liquid dries and locks down the first layer of color. With a black liquid-liner pen, make four evenly spaced dashes over the pencil line, then connect them.
Now it's time to create the winged-out edge. Close your eye, and trace a finger along your upper lid's crease, moving outward. When it meets the bony part of your eye, mark the spot with a dot of liquid liner.
Once the liner has dried, dab your lids with a cream-colored liquid shadow, then place a metallic version on the area just above your crease line and inner corner. Like creams, liquids catch light but stand up better to the heat.
Finish with two coats of black mascara, you sexy thing!
4. Kim Kardashian
Whether you love or hate her -- we'll stay mum -- embodying her is easy. Buy the longest fake lashes you can find, and pair them with too much eyeliner and too tight of an LBD. You are halfway there! Just don't forget to have the attitude to match …What are you wearing for Halloween this year? Is it DIY or did you buy it? Share in the comments below!

wasn't PEP available when you had your "occupational exposure"? you're a doctor - i find it hard to believe you didn't know exactly what to do after an accident like that, or have access to the necessary drugs to ward off the infection (PEP).
i think the truth is that you were infected via receptive anal sex, and you're just too ashamed to admit it because it brings with it the fact that you were voluntarily irresponsible and that you cheated on your partner.
sound familiar?
"Sound familiar"???? Well actually yes, you do sound familiar. You appear to be yet another deranged individual with a deep-seated psychopathology and preconceived notions based on stigma rather than fact. You also seem to have difficulty reading. Had you read the full post (see below), your unfounded and meanspirited suspicions would have been squelched. Although I doubt you'll let reason, fact and logic get in the way of what you "believe." You do indeed have the right to "believe" whatever you wish about me; however, please note that does not change the reality of the situation. It must be uncomfortable living in a paranoid parallel universe. I certainly don't envy you.

re: please please please (DR BOB'S OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE) Dec 12, 2007
ISN'T THIS (see question below)HOW YOU SUPPOSEDLY BECAME HIV POSITIVE, DR. BOB?
Dec 4, 2007 Dr. Bob!! Can you please tell me about the possibilities of getting HIV by sharing a razor?? Thank you so much!! You are wonderful!!
Response from Dr. Frascino
Although we certainly do not recommend sharing razors (or toothbrushes) with HIVers, the actual HIV-transmission risk from these activities would be remarkably low. HIV does not survive very long outside the body. For transmission to occur via razor, an HIV-poz person would need to cut himself and get an adequate amount of fresh blood on the blade, which would have to almost immediately cut into an HIV neggie, thereby transferring the virus-infected fresh blood into fresh non-infected blood through a fresh open wound. For obvious reasons the chance of this actually occurring is remote at best.
You're welcome so much.
Dr. Bob
Response from Dr. Frascino
Nope. I did not contract HIV from a razor! Whatever gave you that idea? See below. Also you can read more about my occupational exposure in the archives and on related links.

hollow-bore needle stick May 15, 2003
Hi Dr. Frascino
What routine procedure was it that led up to the needle stick exposure? Wait, you're a doctor, right? Oh, I get it, the nurse who usually does all the blood work was out sick that day, so you filled in. I was confused at first, because you're a doctor talking about doing routine blood work with a patient, when I'm used to seeing the nurse do that sort of thing. I guess that's the way they do it in San Fran, huh? It is just a little coincidental that you're one of the only Doctors on here who is gay, and you happen to have HIV too. The other Doctors on here have much better luck than you I guess. Well, even though I find your story a bit far-fetched, I still think you do a great thing helping all these people. We look up to you like a hero - and that's the damn truth.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hey TBT,
My my my you have a suspicious mind. You are correct that I sustained my hollow bore needle stick and laceration while doing a "routine medical procedure". However that procedure was not "drawing blood"! I was un-roofing a cluster of unusual blisters from the back of a patients knee to culture the fluid inside when the patient inadvertently jerked causing the large bore needle I was using to jab and wound him as well as become impaled in the palm of my gloved hand. It all happened very quickly. I hope that is graphic enough for you. Yes, Im gay and happen to have acquired HIV occupationally but as I have said a thousand times before --- I am no more innocent or guilty than anyone with this virus. None of us wanted this disease. So whether it was a blood transfusion, a broken condom, or an episode of love making please dont try to make some of us innocent victims and others deserving of our fate. I stand with the entire HIV infected community as one. The sooner we can get beyond trying to place blame, the sooner we can focus on fighting the real enemy --- HIV!
Are the other doctors on this site luckier than me? Oh, I doubt it. I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world. Like Babs says "People who need people and Lovers are very special people --- their the luckiest people in the world!"
Thanks for your comments TBT. Im neither a hero nor a victim. Im just a guy with HIV trying to do what he can. And thats the "damn truth"

Why PEP could not save you Dr Bob Mar 16, 2004
I am very sorrow to learn that you, a good doctor who give many generous supports to fight HIV, hot seroconverted in an accident.
But why PEP could not save you?
Response from Dr. Frascino
My hollow-bore needlestick and laceration occurred in January 1991. We didn't know too much about PEP way back then. I did take AZT immediately after the incident, but since the patient I was performing the procedure on was in the advanced-stages of the disease and had taken AZT himself for quite some time, there was probably a good chance his strain of virus was resistant to that drug.
Please don't feel bad about my situation. My life has been and continues to be a great joy. If I die tomorrow, I'll be able to say I've had a wonderful life while here on earth. If I don't die tomorrow, there are still many things on my "to do" list to experience, accomplish, and enjoy. I consider myself one very lucky guy.
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
What Happened to you Dr. Bob Jan 8, 2006
Hi Doc, Please please do not get offended by this question...I have been perusing your responses to these questions for a long time now, and I am thoroughly stunned by you compassion, patience and understanding. You cause me to aspire to be a better person. But my question is, how on earth did you become infected? I wasn't aware of this fact until i read your reply to "suicidal with symptoms", and I've been heartbroken since. I pray as i write this that i do not come across as patronizing or pitiful, because you are doing more good with your life than any 100 people i know combined. But I just can't believe somoeone so attractive, smart and sophisticated has to suffer this disease. If you don't mind, can you share your story with us, as we all love you. I'm so impressed with your accomplishments and dedication, despite being positive, as I know if it were me I wouldn't be able to cope, i just don't think i'm strong enough. Please, if you want to tell me to mind my own beeswax and go "f" myself, feel free. Yours, A concerned friend
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Concerned Friend,
No, I'm certainly not offended! Being "virally enhanced" has been such a part of my life for so long, I sometimes forget those who only more recently tuned into the Forum may not realize I'm HIV positive. My story was splashed across the news media TV, radio, magazines, newspapers, medical journals, etc. when I went public with my story a decade ago (1996). In reality I don't believe the manner in which I became infected should matter. I'm no more guilty or innocent than anyone else who never wanted to acquire this scourge! However, I do realize people are curious and that the "story" is out there so I'll briefly mention it to save you the trouble of Googling it. The virus found me while I was working. I sustained a hollow-bore needle puncture and laceration while performing a medical procedure on a patient with advanced-stage AIDS. Despite yelling a few "expletives deleted" and taking AZT (the only thing we had for PEP in January of 1991) within moments of the incident, I seroconverted to HIV positive a few months later. You can search the archives and review additional information in my biography on this site or at The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation Web site (www.concertedeffort.org). I'll also post a recent question that I hope will address your question about being able to cope with adversity.
Your beeswax is always welcomed here.
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Dr. Bob, What about you? Sep 6, 2004
Hello Dr. Bob,
I want to start by simply saying thank you for all of the work that you do each day on this site. You bring so much comfort and knowledge to people. You are a very compassionate and caring man. Perhaps it doesn't surprise you that we (your devote fans) are just as caring and concerned about you. Some of us can't help but wonder how you are doing with this disease. What is your status in terms of viral load and CD4? How do you find strength each day to go on? and what can we do for you to help you with this very trying time in your life?
You do not have to answer this if you do not want to. We just simply want to know about someone we love. And I mean that Dr. Bob.
Your Friend Always
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi William,
What a pleasure to read a question that isn't self-centered and related to a lap dance from a bisexual cross-dressing transsexual Mormon midget! There were so many of those types of questions coming in from New York City last week ahhh, the fools and fanatics of the GOP Convention!!!
The best word for my viral load and CD4 count at the moment would be "stable." How am I doing with the disease? Well, according to the statistics at the time the virus found me in January of 1991, I shouldn't even be here, so I'd say I'm doing quite well. Sure, at times I feel as though I'm living on borrowed time. As I've said before, I really do believe we measure life in the wrong dimension. A life shouldn't be measured merely in length, but rather in depth. In many ways, perhaps because of HIV and the depth of my experiences, I've never felt more alive.
I won't say that cohabitating with HIV is easy. It's not. The drugs that keep me alive are science's classic double-edged sword causing not only great benefits but also some not-so-great side effects. At times I can be so exhausted I need to take a nap before going to bed. Once asleep, I can sometimes have my very own version of a "wet dream," a drenching night sweat that has, on occasion, made me wonder if I should wear a lifejacket and flippers to bed. At times I look at our linen closet and refrigerator, and see that it's now decorated in "nouveau pharmacy" style. Mack trucks deliver my medications in Godzilla-sized containers. Like so many other virally enhanced folks, I've had my fair share of HIV-related complications, but I see no point in dwelling on them. In life, as in playing cards, you can't choose the cards you are dealt, but you can definitely choose how to play these cares. Perhaps that's the real secret of living well on borrowed time. I also freely admit having Steve (Dr. Steve in The Body's Tratamientos Forum) to share life, love, sex, and other unscheduled events makes me the luckiest guy on the planet.
Here is my two-rule manifesto for living well with HIV: 1. "This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. The being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy . . . . Life is no brief candle for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." George Bernard Shaw
- Always remember the wise advice of rule number 1. Thanks for your concern and friendship, William. I find that compassion and generosity, when freely given to those in need, is returned a thousand fold.
Stay well, William.
Your friend,
Dr. Bob
How do you do it? Jun 13, 2006
Dr Bob, There's no need to tell you how much we all love you, I'm sure by the truckload of emails you recieve you know "inspiring" you are to all of us. You are always giving advice, but my question is....how "did" and how "do" you cope with your diagnosis and co-exsisting with hiv? You must have an incredible mind set of positivity, or some other secrets we arent aware of, as you are always sooo seemingly happy and strong in your life? Do you put things down to the knowledge you have being a doctor? Love, family and freinds? Large support groups (like us who adore you)? We would love to know the many secrets you possess to coping with hiv so incredibly well. There are a lot of us trying to find a way to live with this "frightening" illness. Also, do you have a lot of faith and hope in how the meds will be over the next 5 - 10 years? do you believe we will come to live with this as those do with diabetes - a more "guaranteed long life with less illness and infection"? I'm sure these are questions every reader on here wants to hear from you.
Thanks Dr Bob.
Response from Dr. Frascino
"An incredible mind set of positivity . . . ???" Hmmm . . . well, I will say I'm one of the most optimistic (and realistic) people on the planet and very "positive about being positive."
Being an HIV specialist does help me understand the illness, but "love, family and friends" help me survive and thrive with it.
As for secrets that help me cope with the challenges of being "virally enhanced," I have always found that helping others who are in need is not only rewarding beyond belief, it's also the best way to keep my personal challenges in their proper perspective. Adaptability is also important. Life, love, sex, illness and our eventual transition to whatever is next are all a series of unscheduled events! In life, as in cards, we can't choose the hand we are dealt, but we can choose how to play those cards! It seems to me a truly content person is one who can enjoy the scenery, even when forced to take an unanticipated detour! Even with HIV, I find life is full of passion, meaning and commitment. If I were to die today, I'd say I had one hell of a good ride. If I don't die today, I have an unlimited list of things to experience and accomplish that I look forward to with great anticipation.
George Bernard Shaw captured my sentiments exactly when he wrote:
"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. The being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy . . . . Life is no brief candle for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
Am I optimistic about treatment options over the next 5-10 years? Absolutely. What saddens me is that only 10% of those in need are even getting the treatments we have available today. It is harder to be as optimistic about their future.
Do I believe HIV will become another diabetes? No, I do not. This has nothing to do with "treatability" or becoming a "chronic manageable disease," but rather with the fact that HIV/AIDS, for all the wrong reasons, has been stigmatized beyond belief. I view the challenges of HIV to be far greater than merely coexisting with the virus. I welcome everyone to join me in confronting these daunting issues. Perhaps that's the real secret of coping with any personal crisis looking beyond our personal self interest in an effort to improve the common good.
Stay well. Don't be frightened. Get involved.
Dr. Bob

It's a "Long time no see" from me!
It's been nearly a month since my last post, so I hope you'll forgive me when I say I've been a little busy! Not only has college work, panto performances and dance exams taken over, but the course of wind and rain has stopped me from getting those precious moments outside (boo!).
For today's post, I thought I'd show you a few of my favourite accessories at the moment! Since my birthday in January, I've been using all my lovely new presents. However, nothing has topped off my vintage ring from mom and dad - it's a beauty!
I love receiving and trying new things, and it was quite a shock when I realised how well my friends knew me when opening my presents.
I love receiving and trying new things, and it was quite a shock when I realised how well my friends knew me when opening my presents.
First on my list, is my little bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume! It's the perfect handbag size so ideal to take on a night out with the family. I also loved how it came with it's own refill bottle, so you can top up the bottle as you need. I love the whole Marc Jacobs collection (having sampled my friends rather obsessive haul).
Another little gem, that's been rather helpful in the colder months, is my fur headband! It's amazing for 3 reasons: It can conceal the worst bad hair days, it keeps my head warm, and it looks fab too. I brought as a Christmas present (yes, for myself) and it's definitely had it's full wear!
These lovely bottles of Barry M nail paint, were presents for my Birthday. My favourite has to be the metallic teal colour, as it's such a pretty colour, but I've recently liked the matted style of the blue bottle also! Priced around £3 a bottle, these will last me all year - so a great investment!
The Colours are: NP325 (blue) and NP334 (teal).
This was also a birthday present, from New Look. I'm trying to wear it as much as possible, in hope it'll be a lucky elephant in my exams this year. In truth, I know those A grades aren't going to appear from no where, but hey ho. I loved the decorative touches to the pendent, and the long chain goes lovely with my dresses.
Finally, (and before you ask, no I'm not engaged) I had this beautiful ring from my parents, as a little "dude, your 18" present. It was a vintage engagement ring, purchased from a jewellers on Ebay, and it was sheer luck that it fit! I absolutely love the stone, which happens to be my birthstone Garnette! So although I wont be wearing this accessory piece everyday, it's by far my favourite piece!
That's all from me today! Thank you for holding up, while I get myself fully sorted (and stop the A Levels from taking over)!
Lots of Love,

iOS 4 Playlist Create, Photo Resize and Bing [iOS 4 Tour Pt. 6]
Here's a few more tasty treats for all you newly upgraded iOS 4 users. Playlists can now be created on your mobile device and synced back to your computer. If you're like me and likely spend more time with your iPhone than you do at a computer then this feature may be of use to you. Creating playlists on your iPhone (or iPod) is pretty easy. Simply touch the playlist button while in iPod function and the touch add playlist. Give your playlist a name then you will be able to add songs to it. Adding songs is done by selecting on individual songs or by changing the view to artists and adding groups of songs. Very easy, very handy.
Emailing photos has been something we've all done from our iPhones and now the email app will ask to resize your photo before it sends it. So, to see this one in action, or to resize your pic for emailing it, simply go through the normal steps of emailing a photo. That is, go to the photos app, select a photo, touch the arrow then select email photo. Now that you're in the email app add your recipient address, enter some text it you'd like and the touch send. At this point you will get a prompt to resize your photo (took us a few tries to figure out where this was too). Something else we noticed is that if you ignore the resize prompt and close out of email or lock your phone that the photo will still be sent. Kinda cool.
Lastly, for this post at least, we have a new search option for safari: Bing. To enable Bing and all that it brings go to settings then to safari then search engine and select Bing. I'm not really sure if there is any advantage to using Bing over Google but it's there nonetheless for those that want to try it.

Step 1Place the chocolate in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse to chop the chocolate very fine.
Step 2In a small saucepan, combine the espresso, Grand Marnier and 1 tablespoon of the cream and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Turn on the food processor and add the hot liquid with the processor running. Process until the chocolate has melted. Stop the processor and scrape down the sides. Continue to process until smooth. Add the egg yolk and process until blended. Scrape into a large bowl.
Step 3In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl, with a hand mixer), beat the egg whites on medium speed. When they foam, add the cream of tartar and continue to beat on medium speed while you slowly stream in the sugar. Beat until the egg whites form medium peaks. Fold into the chocolate base, in two additions.
Step 4Beat the remaining cream until it forms soft peaks. Fold into the mousse. Spoon into 6 (4-ounce) ramekins or other serving cups and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until set. Serve with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.

Porshe Foster and Taniesha Dukes were inseparable friends since 5th grade and both teens attended the same vocational high school. Foster was studying to be an architect, while Dukes wanted to work in construction.
On Monday night the two were outside a home in Chicago Lawn when gunfire erupted and Dukes witnessed her best friend – known for her beautiful smile and outgoing personality -- fatally wounded.
"I didn't want to believe it," said Dukes, 16, her eyes tearing up as she sat in the Foster family home on Tuesday afternoon. "I was calling her name. I was like, 'Porshe! Porshe!' And I'm like, 'You good?!' She wouldn't say nothing back to me."
Chicago police believe the shooting was gang-related but that Foster, 15, did not appear to be the intended target. The two friends were with two boys in the backyard near West 70th Street and South Campbell Avenue when a gunman walked up and opened fire at about 9:20 p.m, police said. Foster was shot in the back and pronounced dead shortly after 10 p.m. at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The Chicago Lawn police district – which includes the Marquette Park and Gage Park neighborhoods in addition to Chicago Lawn – has seen a 42 percent increase in homicides through Nov. 18, department statistics show. Police sources familiar with that area have said the rising violence was largely the results of conflicts among numerous factions of the Gangster Disciples street gang.
A Tribune story in July said that through the first half of the year, more children had been shot in the Chicago Lawn District – 17 victims, all 15 or younger -- than in any of the city's 22 other police districts.
In the interview, Dukes said Foster was able to reach the back porch and laid down. Gunfire continued.
"I thought she was just ducking from the shots," Dukes said.
Foster, who attended church regularly, was a sophomore at Ace Technical Charter High School on the South Side, where she played basketball and volleyball, her family said. The youngest of seven, she wanted to be an architect because of an uncle who had similar aspirations but died tragically during training with the U.S. Army.
Family members said Foster was photogenic and loved having her photo taken.
"She posed a lot. If there was a camera around, Porshe was around," her aunt Demetria Rogers said in the family apartment, decorated with numerous photos of Foster. "She was very outgoing. She loved to smile, loved to laugh."
Her mother, Bonita Foster, asked for prayers for her family and urged anyone with information about the killing to call police.
Latest Breaking News
"This thing has to be stopped," Foster said. "It's foolishness. The only thing that was accomplished is that you just ripped our hearts out of our chests. And for what?"
Tribune reporter Carlos Sadovi contributed.

This is really helpful information and knowing you personally, I totally trust you put your heart and soul into this! I'm excited to try this for 2019 – thank you!!
Also – there are excellent ways to incorporate YLEO's into this regimen, one way especially is with Lemon and/or grapefruit and peppermint YLEO into the water for extra added detox, digestive support, appetite control and yummy flavor! Also we have a really awesome pea-based protein powder!
Oh and the leg warmers – they'll never go out of style in my opinion. Just awesome! Being back the 80's!!!
Thank you Timnema– this is a very good point about Young living essential oils and how they can be utilized in the process of losing weight. It could save someone a great deal of money from buying fruits if they utilized the oils instead. love it.
I am guilty of not eating breakfast in some days as I am afraid I might be late for work. This article covers all the necessary thing needed in order to achieve an ideal body weight. Thank you for sharing this comprehensive article.
Thank you for your comment Sharon, take breakfast along. Two hard boiled eggs and a bag of cantaloupe should be sufficient. Planning the night before and putting everything in the fridge, ready to go the next morning will also help.
Congratulations on your weight loss! You're helping to motivate me to get going with my New Year's resolution. Thank you!
Thank you Kathy! It really is not that hard to do, I just took the best of all the diet plans and researched the calorie deficiet process. Good luck and let me know if I can help
Thank you so much Tara. The crazy thing it really was not that hard, and it is not hard to maintain at all either. Let me know if you have any questions.
Very well written Amber …! sharing your experiences and many phases of migraines over the years…. will help others though this process without feeling lost …
Thank you Linda, yes I tried to make it factual and practical. It is quite a process, and living through it has helped me drive myself to do the research to try and understand the phases, and processes the migraine goes through to try and shorten the duration and try to find a way to alleviate them all together. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you very much! We try really hard to keep our relationship successful for our daughter. She is the most important thing. I really think we are winning at this parenting thing. =)
This article makes a good point. There are a lot of choices out there. Make the choice that is right for you. I was a working mom. I was able to bring my kids along with me a good part of the time. Be happy, not unhappy or guilty. Your children benefit from a happy mom who is present and attentive. Thank you for sharing.
Great article. There are many choices out there. Make the one that is good for you. A happy and attentive mom is good for children. Thanks for sharing.
Yes attention is key. Even if we have to work alot being present when we are in their space is very important, they need to know we work for them, and we are doing what we can to be a good mom at the same time. It is hard.
As a working mom of now grown kids, I completely understand the mom guilt. It's so hard not to compare and wish we did thinks differently. It's very helpful to remember we did the best we could and are not alone with the feelings.
I agree, I wish I had spent more time just chilling out with Olivia instead of worrying if the house was clean. I could have more memories to live on now. We did the best we could, this parenting thing does not come with a manual. We are good mommies and we loved hard, and took good care of them. Thank you Kelly Lynne
Even though I was so ready to go back to work and have real adult conversations a few months after my first born's birth, I quickly began feeling guilty when she started preferring my mother in law (her caretaker when I worked) over me. I had to learn how to let that go, and just focus on really being present when I was with her. I just wish more companies did what they could to support working moms – like letting them work remotely, even if only for a day or two a week.
Sam, they will never truly prefer someone over their mommy.. it is just what they are use to at the moment. Chin up, you are right be present when you are there. Love between a child and her mommy is never far. Take care and hug her super tight.
Thanks for this post. It's very helpful. I've been a migraine sufferer since I was about 12.
Ugh… I know the feeling! I hope you find something in here helpful. Please check out the essential oils.
The hot and cold tip is one I haven't seen- will try that next time (although obviously I hope that won't be for a long time :P) Thanks!
Yes, I know the feeling of hoping they do not stick around. I was dealing with one just today that kept me home from work. Just stayed in bed with the cold packs this time though.
I can feel your passion through the writings in this blog! You're amazing and have accomplished so much already. So happy to know you!!!! XO
this is so inspiring. every dream is worth chasing especially if you dream about it long enough! 🙂 I love how you write, the content and the energy. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thank you cha! I really appreciate it. I agree, dreamt along time about writing, thank you for your encouragement.
I love this. Yes, I have changed that what if mindset and I am way more accomplished. It is my goal to check out Les Brown soon.
Erica, he is amazing start out with "you gotta be hunnnngaaarrryy" He's amazing. I write about others in my other post on how to do this as a newly single mom but I love Les.

Go for it!! No better time to start on the future than the present! I love the sense of urgency you write with. Brilliant.
Thank you Laura, I really appreciate your encouraging comment. Yes, start this minute! We have all the information we need in the whole world at our fingertips… start researhing now. =)
Great post. Encouraging our children to follow their dreams is one thing, but it's even better if we follow our dreams ourselves and lead by example. I think too many of us settle. Maybe we settle with a horrible job because it pays the bills. Maybe we settle for a bad relationship because we think it's better than being alone. The list of what people settle for goes on and on, but if that's what we are showing to our kids, they will be more likely to settle too. It's important to show them happiness and being fulfilled. Thank you for sharing.
I have to agree Therose, settling is no way to run through life. We have far too many great days that we waste not fullfilling our own dreams. Thank you for the comment.
This is a really great in depth article! I have recently been getting what I believe to be migraines and I believe they are the result of a combination of not enough water, screen time, and weather changes. Thanks for a great post!
You are very welcome. It may be time to see the Doctor so they can chck your eyes as well since you mentioned screen time. Try essential oils… the link is the post. They have been a life saver for me. Thank you for your comment Lindsey.
I fortunately don't get migraines very often, but I do get them. They SUCK. Peppermint and Lavender Essential oil are my lifesavers, and sometimes, if I get in my system quickly enough, passionflower takes the edge off (it also works for panic attacks).
Love this post. I this self manifestation of dreams is so incredibly powerful. I think everyone needs to learn to find the courage to take a leap of faith. Great post! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Lauren. Taking the leap is tough but so worth it I believe. We can't stand still otherwise we waste the time we have on this earth.
This is a wonderfully informative post! I get migraines a few times a year and I can attest to their horror. I really enjoyed your post, I'll definitely be pinning it for later so the next time I get a migraine I can read through it again. Thanks!
They are tough. Also grab some peppermint essential oils. They do wonders for my migraines.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. You were very detailed. I have loved ones that suffer from migraines. These tips will help them a lot.
Thank you for the comment Shawn. Yes they are devastating to say the least. Have them try peppermint essential oils. They are great! Here is my link to my essential oils page. https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=17692824&enrollerid=17692824&type=member.

This is all so interesting, yet scary. I am grateful that I rarely even have headaches, and am now grateful that I have never experienced a migraine. Some of my family, however, do, and I never realized how intense the experience actually is. Thank you for the eye opener!
You are welcome! Thank you for the comment. Share with your family have them check out peppermint essential oils. https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=17692824&enrollerid=17692824&type=member
This is my link. I am always here to help.
I have more experience than I'd like with migraines. This is all wonderful advice. I only thing that ever truly works for me is best and sleep. Even medications just seem to postpone the attack. I would never wish this addiction on even my worst enemy. Thank you for sharing your experience! I wish this page existed when I was young and they began!
Thank you jill. It is tough suffering through migraines. Have you ever tried peppermint essential oils? https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=17692824&enrollerid=17692824&type=member. This is my page. They have helped me a lot
I needed to read this. Absolutely. I'm struggling, inside. No one may ever know it looking at me but I'm fighting a battle every. single. day. I'm not sure this is the right decision but I know I didn't want to continue on the way my marriage was.
The beautiful little girl we have is my whole heart, as you already know since you have one yourself. I did run away. I did run to my parents. I don't know if I'll ever be able to move out but I know one thing…I have a pretty fabulous support system.
This made me feel a little better, so thank you.
I am super happy this made you feel a little better. There is nothing wrong with going to your parents I really wish 8 had.
Sorry hit send… I wish I had come home. But we made it, and you will too! Remember your little girl will grow into an amazing women. She will be strong just like her mommy. Much love! Let me know if I can help in anyway.

Thanks, Amber. I see that I can! I will! Thanks for always being someone I could look up to!
I love all of these tips! I know exactly what it's like being surrounded by negative nellys and they really can warp your positive outlook. But I have a friend who is so positive. Whatever she wants she decides she's going to go out and get it. I'm jealous because she never lets negativity get to her and she follows almost all ten of your tips. Thanks for sharing!
Great advice included here! Life truly is about the small things. The older I get, the more I realize it. Glad you have found what makes you happy and fulfilled.
These are all great tips. It's proof that we never know what will really make us happy until we try something different like you did with the farm. I tend to focus on a lot of the negative stuff because it always seems to be right there, but I am trying to have a more positive outlook. Sometimes change comes so slow and visualizing that positive future is hard. It also starts somewhere though. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely LOVE the bottle!!! It's much easier on my grib and hands than the of other bottles I've been using for 2+ years. Way to go Savvy Mom!!! Also I love the smell of the Thieves Househould Cleaner!! To me it smells like Fall with subtle hints of Lemon, Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus & Rosemary ♥ And I've been using it for 2+ years and no longer use ANY other cleaner because I don't need to now! Also our immune systems have been strengthened and supported wjth thieves clewner NOT compromised by toxic household cleaners. And yes, even some the supposedly "green" cleaners are not good for our body systems!
Great post. All of my kids have gone through picky phases. I have always asked them to take one "polite note" since I made is for them and they've always done that willingly. Forcing them to eat whatever I made has never worked for us. If they at least try what I made they can have cereal or a PBJ instead, but I won't make them a desperate meal.
Review for Clear Glass Spray Bottles 16oz. I have really enjoyed using my bottle with the thieves cleaner. I like the spray handle it is very easy to use.
I use YL…they are great. People need to learn more about the healing effects of Essential oils
Hi I am a lifestyle blogger; whose content includes Essential Oils and I have been considering joining Young Living. Well after this great informative post, I am that much closer to that end. Very thought out and easy to understand.

I could have sworn my Samoas got smaller.
First, a little background: From my first Daisy meeting in the basement of North Denver's Woodbury Library right on into my tweens, when wearing a uniform of any sort was decidedly uncool, one thing among most others bound my devotion to being a Girl Scout: Samoas.
In my mind, the Samoas of my childhood were a hearty, gooey cookie — a thick treat topped with chewy caramel, fresh shaved coconut and stripes of chocolate generous enough that to hold a Samoa in your hand too long was to end up with brown smudged fingers.
So even without the tug of those sweet Girl Scouts perched outside of grocery stores selling cookies this time of year — "What can a cookie do? A Girl Scout Cookie can help girls dream more." — I annually buy at least one box of Samoas, if for no other reason than to linger over the type of nostalgia that only tastes can revive.
So why did my Samoas seem less luxurious this year? I posed that question to someone at Kellogg, which owns Little Brownie Bakers, makers of all Girl Scout Cookies.

Army Reservist to Receive Silver Star for Heroism in Afghanistan
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2008 - Army Sgt. Gregory S. Ruske is quick to call himself an ordinary soldier, but later this month the Army Reserve will single him out for extraordinary heroism in Afghanistan that earned him the Silver Star medal.
The 28-year-old Colorado Springs, Colo., native will become the fourth Army reservist to receive the prestigious award for heroism in the war on terror. Army Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, chief of the Army Reserve, will present Ruske the Silver Star during a ceremony in Orlando, Fla.
Ruske visited Washington yesterday to meet with Stultz and other Army Reserve officials and to attend the Association of the U.S. Army annual meeting taking place here. He said he doesn't see the actions he took when his platoon was attacked by a much larger Taliban force as anything exceptional.
"I don't consider myself a hero," he said. "I was just an ordinary guy put in an extraordinary situation. I reacted based on my upbringing, training and compassion, and thankfully, it worked out in the end."
Ruske was assigned to Combined Joint Task Force 101, operating in Afghanistan's Kapisa province, when the incident that led to his Silver Star award took place April 21. He and his fellow soldiers from 3rd Platoon, A Company, Task Force Gladiator, were on a patrol in a remote area not accessible by vehicle when Taliban operatives attacked them with heavy grenade, machine-gun and rifle fire.
"There was no way our gun truck support could get to us, so we were kind of out here by ourselves when all Hades broke loose," he said.
Trapped with his unit in an exposed position, Ruske returned fire so most of the platoon could move to protective cover. Ruske then moved to a rooftop and continued laying fire even after taking a bullet to the hip.
At that point, Ruske realized that two Afghan National Police officers were still pinned down in the open, taking fire from their Taliban attackers. One ran for cover, but the other officer -- one Ruske had worked with at vehicle checkpoints and chatted with through an interpreter ? had been shot and was trying to crawl to safety through a hail of bullets.
"Seeing that dirt kick up no more than six inches from his head, I said, 'Man, this is jacked up,'" Ruske recalled thinking. "They are still shooting at this guy. He is still bleeding and shot. And I said, 'We have to go get him.'"
Ruske said he didn't take time to think about his own safety, but simply reacted to the training the Army had used to prepare him for combat.
Ruske credited his mentor during his three years of active duty, Sgt. 1st Class Glen Boucher, with instilling the discipline and skills that he drew on while under fire.
"He was fair, but if you stepped across that line, he would check you, and that was good," Ruske said of his former squad leader, then a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle commander. "He could joke with you and mess around with you, but when it came down to work, it was time to work."
A stickler for soldiering skills, Boucher taught Ruske tactics he said enabled him to assist the fallen Afghan police officer.
"He's the one who taught me all the ins and outs of dismounted and mounted techniques, and actually it was the 'Z' pattern he taught me that I had my [squad automatic weapon] gunner do to suppress [enemy fire] and buy us a little time when they were shooting at us," Ruske said.
Ruske ordered his SAW gunner, Spc. Walter Reed, to spray the enemy in a Z-shaped pattern, expending a whole box of 200 rounds to give Ruske and his buddy, Spc. Eric Seagraves, time to run out to retrieve the officer.
The two dodged bullets as they grabbed the Afghan police officer's arms and dragged him toward a wall that provided protective covering.
Only when Ruske and Seagraves went to lift the man behind the wall did they realize that Ruske's leg had been shattered.
Later that day, after Ruske was taken to Bagram Air Base to receive treatment for his gunshot wound, he checked on the Afghan officer and was relieved to see that he had survived and would keep both legs.
Almost six months later, Ruske said he finds it amazing that he will receive a Silver Star for his actions. "I still don't really believe it," he said. Ruske deflected attention from himself, emphasizing that he acted as part of a team.
"I had help the whole time. It's not like it was just me," he said. "None of it would have been possible without Reed [and] with the SAW and Seagraves helping me with the guy. It was the one plan that turned out all right."
Now back at his civilian job as a juvenile corrections officer in Denver, Ruske is awaiting his reassignment to a new Army Reserve unit because his former unit was deactivated. Once he gets his new assignment, he said, he hopes to be like the combat veterans within the Army Reserve who helped him get ready to deploy by sharing what they had learned about roadside bombs, search techniques and other combat techniques.
"I picked their brains, and they passed their experience and lessons learned to me," Ruske said. "Now that I'm back, it's my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience to some of the newer guys, just like the other guys did for me."

In comments in the Gender, Race and Philosophy post in which Linda Alcoff presented some information concerning and momentariliy defended the methodology behind the Climate Guide, anonymous graduate student writes:
Dear Professors Alcoff, Taylor, and Wilkerson [editors of the Pluralist's Guide]:
The sarcastic last comment here [this one] does not, in my view, dispense you, the authors of the "climate for women" section, from addressing in detail the several very serious questions and worries that were brought to the table by the previous commenters. I am sure that I am not the only one to find it very troublesome that there is neither any attempt on your part to defend the "climate for women" section its current form - which, as the many thoughtful comments above have shown, would be a difficult feat - nor the slightest admisssion of the insufficiency and indeed indefensibility of the section as it stands at this time.
The only conclusion I (and, I imagine, many others) am able to draw from the exasperating refusal by you, the authors of the "pluralist's guide", to engage even in the most rudimentary way with serious criticism is that despite the title of your "report" you are not in fact guided by the concern that informs the comments in this thread - the climate for women in philosophy - but rather by an undisclosed private agenda that abuses this concern as a cover.
I guess I'm not willing to draw any specific conclusions about why the authors of the Climate Guide haven't withdrawn it, or edited it in such a way as to acknowledge its many methodological and factual problems, or explained how it was compiled, or even evinced comprehension of these problems. But I will say that it gets sadder and sadder with each passing day.
--Mr. Zero

A.J. seemed more than a bit hittable, but that is what happens when you play against a team with as much offensive talent as the Indians.
Ouch. Trot Nixon homers. 12-4. It's probably time to put some salve on that red-ass and call it a night.
On a happier note: The Jays finally announced that Dustin McGowan is on his way to the show, and will pitch on Thursday. Given that he'll only officially be recalled on Thursday, I'm guessing that the Jays are counting his days of service time pretty carefully.
