Does anyone have much experience of surfing in Andalucia?
There seems to be plenty of quality set ups but I am wondering about the consistency there as I here mixed reviews. Thinking of going there in April/May as the start of a long roadtrip. Kind of the the classic Euro trip but in reverse. instead of heading south following the sun in the Autumn/winter, but starting in the south and heading up to be in France around the beginning of summer. Followed by a September in Ireland if all goes to plan!

Mum Admits To Sleeping Naked With 16-YO Son, Sparks Outrage
Hundreds of thousands of internet users have responded in outrage to a post on question-and-answer website Quora.
The anonymous query appears to have been posted by a woman, who asks for opinions on whether it's appropriate to co-sleep with her teenaged son - while naked.
Understandably, the overwhelming majority of responses were firmly in the "yes" camp.
Shannon Gilles wrote: "Put some damn jammies on or sleep in separate rooms.
"If your son were to casually mention to someone (friend, teacher, relative) that you and he share a bed and that you also are naked this person could potentially cause a LOT of legal issues for you.
"Also, please take your teenager's feelings into consideration. You wanting to sleep naked in the bed with him could scar him for life."
Another user, Gautham Pinnamareddy, agreed, pointing out that it was the "most awkward thing to do".
"I don't understand your intension (sic). Please avoid sleeping naked along with your son."
The post has since been deleted, but not before racking up more than 500,000 views; while many assumed that the anonymous user could be unfamiliar with American societal values, the majority explained that the woman's actions had "overtones of incest."
"He must act within the boundaries set by society," Chic Mendoza urged. "Sleeping NAKED with your pre-teen or teenage son is inappropriate in our society."
Roy Martin said: "I find it so fascinating how issues like this can seem so vastly different from culture to culture.
"Clearly, in our culture this is a really poor choice."
And Matthew Kuzma urged the mother to at least "pretend for the sake of social expectations", recommending the two take "some space apart."
Do you agree with the internet's response?

A Gift from the Daniel K. Inouye Family
for KCC faculty, staff and students
"Americanism is a matter of mind and heart; Americanism is not, and never was, a matter of race or ancestry."
|Hawaiian Studies student pay tribute to late Senator the Honorable Daniel K. Inouye
On Friday, October 18, 2013, Kauaʻi Community College celebrated its Daniel K. Inouye Technology Center in a dedication and blessing ceremony in honor of the support and advocacy provided by the late Senator Daniel Inouye.
"We are honored by the presence of Mrs. Irene Inouye and son Ken at today's dedication and blessing of the Kauaʻi CC Daniel K. Inouye Technology Center," said Kauaʻi CC Chancellor Helen A. Cox. "The naming of the Center will forever symbolize our heartfelt aloha for the late Senator Inouye, who saw in Kauaʻi and Kauaʻi CC, tremendous potential to lead in advancing technology for the Pacific Region. It is with his confidence in us that we go forward to provide our students with the best that higher education offers."
The 18,000-square-foot Daniel K. Inouye Technology Center is home of Kauaʻi CC's electronics program, which offers basic to advanced courses that prepare students for entry into jobs requiring knowledge of analog and digital electronics, computer and networking technologies, programming, optics, and telecommunications. These programs are articulated with UH Maui College's baccalaureate electronics/computer engineer technology or engineering programs. Kauaʻi CC is also an authorized Cisco Networking Academy offering various levels of globally recognized industry certification training that also applies to academic certificates and degrees. The Hawaiʻi Space Flight Laboratory, which focuses on space exploration, is also housed in the Center and serves as a satellite tracking and control facility for the Hawaiʻi Space Flight Lab rocket launches from the Pacific Missile Research Facility (PMRF). The electronics program has graduated 84 students and has 49 students currently enrolled.
Dr. Francis Takahashi, recently retired electronics faculty member, said: "In 1985, Kauaʻi CC didn't have an electronics program as we know it today. As a proponent of high technology in Hawaiʻi supporting the observatories, Maui Super Computer, PMRF and other high technology industries, Senator Inouye's vision helped provide students with job opportunities across the state including on Kauaʻi. He was our guide star."
According to Takahashi, the Senator, a proponent of PMRF, brought in projects that secured the program's national standing. Industries such as Boeing and Envisioneering began collaborating with the College. These entities supported internships, where students were able to gain field experience. Boeing gave the College a substantial donation of equipment to establish and build a state-of-the-art photonics and optics laboratory, which allowed the College to offer courses of study.
The momentum created by the Senator's support of PMRF has oriented the Kauaʻi CC electronics program toward satellite telemetry and a partnership in the NASA-funded Hawaiʻi Space Flight Laboratory whose mission is to establish a satellite ground station for telemetry with UH's and other satellites. This partnership is a significant example of how UH fulfills its unique position as a land grant, sea grant, and space grant institution.
"The Electronics program is blessed with resources and technologies that are rarely found at community colleges and that rival labs in universities, " said Dr. Georgeanne Friend, Kauaʻi CC faculty member. " Our students and community are extremely fortunate to have access to such a wonderful facility."
In addition to his advocacy of new technology, Senator Inouye was also a strong believer in integrating traditional Hawaiian healing practices with modern western medical practices and technology. Kahu Kauila Clarke, vice chairperson of the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center and chairperson of the National Association of Community Health Centers said: "With respect to modern technology and the Native Hawaiian community, he wanted us to maintain a balance by keeping both streams alive. Inouye truly cared for the people of Hawaiʻi. He never forgot."
The balance is evident on Kauaʻi, with its community health center in Kapaʻa and the well-attended annual Aloha 'Ike event, where high tech companies donate funds to support high schools and students.
"Technology is affecting us daily and someone needs to understand, monitor, configure, and troubleshoot that technology," said Mark Anderson, electronics faculty member. "Our goal at the Daniel K. Inouye Technology Center is to optimize the Center's technologies and resources to prepare students to keep the world connected and balanced tomorrow."
Senator Inouye also endorsed Hawaiʻi's Rural Development Project, which supported rural communities. Among the numerous projects supported by funds awarded to Kauaʻi CC, $53,000 was used to establish, build, and develop the College's Apiary Project. The Project conducts research and provides educational outreach to help develop and maintain healthy bee populations. The Apiary Laboratory is located next to the Daniel K. Inouye Technology Center.

Burk Finds His Leadership Nicheby Richard Paige • January 31, 2014 Share:
"Just come by my room sometime and I'll teach you about football," he said.
To some, that could have been a throwaway line used to end a conversation. To Spencer Burk '14, football player and head campus Resident Assistant, it was a chance to make a connection.
One of the guys on his floor in Martindale, an international student, was trying to fit in, but didn't quite understand the game that grips Wabash's collective attention on Saturday afternoons in the fall.
Burk was in his room playing video games one Friday night when he heard a knock at the door.
"Are you free?" the freshman asked. "I was hoping you could teach me about football."
"Sure, yeah, come on in," was Burk's reply.
For the next 90 minutes, Burk used NCAA Football '14 on his Xbox 360 to help him explain the different positions and how they work by running play after play. The freshman scribbled in a notepad.
"That was very gratifying to me to know that something that I said impacted him enough to break out of his shell," Burk said. "Best part is that he went to the game the next day!"
Connection made.
Certainly, connections are a necessary part of an R.A.'s existence. But for Burk, the football tutorial was just a sharing of the lessons he learned as a freshman. He credits his first R.A., Cody Stipes '11, with helping him get through those intimidating moments as a first-year student.
"I had a really good experience with Cody as a freshman," Burk said. He gave me the lens to not be afraid to be a leader. I didn't grasp everything that Wabash was. I was intimidated, but he showed me a way to lead effectively. He was just a guy who was there to help you no matter what the issue…from the toilet being clogged to 'holy crap, I have an F in chemistry.' He was that guy."
As the head R.A., Burk has become that guy himself. From his floor, to campus, to community outreach, he's found enjoyment working with people of all ages.
He's read in elementary schools as a member of the football team. His psychology courses have led him to spend time in area schools and he volunteers to mentor a child at a local church preschool.
"I've found a really good leadership outlet," said the psychology major from Greenfield, Ind. "I enjoy mentoring and leading. I've just always felt a calling to be that mentor, that figure, that someone to look up to."
And the role suits him. Wabash Dean of Students Mike Raters '85 thinks it's just a part of Burk's make-up.
"Spencer is a poised and wise young leader," Raters said. "He is a strong collaborator who is particularly skilled at seeing where a group needs to move on an issue and guiding them there with a positive, influential, and persuasive approach. He is wired as a leader."
Classmate Cory Kopitzke '14 agrees. As a former football player and roommate and a fellow R.A., knows Burk as both a friend and mentor. He, too, says that Burk is a natural leader.
"Spencer is a very friendly and open guy," said Kopitzke. "He is nice to everyone he meets and attempts to make a personal connection with them. He really wants to improve things he is a part of. One of his better qualities is his honesty among his friends; he will tell you exactly how he feels, good or bad."
A pair of knee injuries tested that leadership wiring, but in the end, the experience gained in the recovery helped him find his place at Wabash and identify his career path.
The first happened during his senior year of high school. Because of the timing, Burk never got the closure he anticipated for his football career. So he pressed on, thinking that he would compete in college.
Although he was leery of Wabash's size and location, those doubts were erased by the passion of his lead recruiter, Jake Gilbert '98. "I had a great football recruiter in Coach Gilbert," said Burk. "It was obvious that Wabash was a lot more than I thought. You could see the passion he had for Wabash. It's a certain passion that everyone just throws at you. It's hard to comprehend if you are off campus and not a part of it."
In addition to the passion, Burk feels that Wabash's willingness to deal with you in a direct and straightforward manner was something that helped him become comfortable here.
"My parents said that they always felt comfortable leaving because all of our questions were answered," Burk responded. "There is a different feeling here. You leave here knowing that you've been helped and feeling like people are here to help you."
As a freshman, he injured his other knee in almost the same location. The recovery took nearly a year and the biggest hurdles were mental. The injury had affected how he now played. Burk found himself hiding his leg behind him so that it wouldn't get hit.
Overcoming that mental hurdle opened his eyes to a career in sports psychology. True to form, he sees the value in helping others. "I'm really interested in sports psychology," he said. "It's really cool to know there are people out there who can help. If I felt like that after a minimal injury, how do people feel after catastrophic injuries and reconstructive surgeries?" Burk asked. "I'd like to help people overcome that fear."
Burk has a credo he uses to describe his personal journey of maturation, one that aptly fits the peaks and valleys of football and mentoring: adversity leads to creativity.
"I really think there is something in the nature of football and the way my career has played out that has shown me how to handle any situation," said Burk. "Injury. Loss. Victory. Handling stressful situations – like the North Central game…is he going to catch it? – losing spots on the depth chart. Waking up early to lift. Everything the sport is comes down to handling adversity. In the motto I express, it's not, 'oh my gosh, this obstacle is in the way,' but 'how can I create some way around this obstacle?'"
Most times, that takes creativity, and Burk can see those benefits filter into how he deals with people in everyday life. "If I have a specific case where a student is having roommate issues or another isn't fitting in very well, you have to be creative in how to solve those problems. One solution does not fit all," he noted.
Unlike football, the victories for a resident assistant are not tallied on a scoreboard, but they are just as meaningful to a guy who helped the Little Giants amass a 37-6 record in four years on the gridiron. When asked about those successes he reminisced about his guys last year from the fourth floor of Martindale through a big smile.
"I had a group of freshmen who just loved each other," Burk recalled. "Sixteen or 18 guys (who were) always in someone else's room together. They had a blast with each other. Being able to facilitate those types of relationships and to be a part of that was a huge success."
A Wabash Q&A
What is your favorite Wabash tradition?
It has to be the (Monon) Bell. It has to do with everything on campus. It's bigger than a game.
Success and failure are a part of life. To this point, what has been your favorite mistake?
When I was in high school, I snuck out with my girlfriend and I got pulled over driving too fast trying to get home. My parents came down pretty hard on me for it. One day I was at home kind of pouting on the couch, saying that I couldn't catch a break. My dad said, you can't expect a break or consider it bad luck when you do something like this. It was a tough lesson in being responsible for your actions.
If you could cook one meal, what would it be?
I could eat pizza for the rest of my life, so if I could cook the perfect pizza…
If you could give your 10-year-old self a piece of advice, what would it be?
Be passionate about the things you do.
If you have a personal credo, what is it?
Adversity leads to creativity.
If in your dreams you could have created one great piece of art – painting, song, sculpture, prose, etc. – by any other person, what would it be?
I'd be involved with anything the Red Hot Chili Peppers are doing.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what are you doing in that picture?
I'd be with my family spending time with the people I love.
If you could wish for one thing in your future, what would it be?
Having a big healthy family of my own. My ultimate goal is to be the perfect family man.

Makes me wonder why people only burn queerats, when it would make perfect sense to catch some alive and interrogate them. Especially in the face of their superior tactics. Given their current leader, they don't have a high chance to survive, and probably not all of them are kamikaze-minded. Or not afraid of gods, for that matter, after they were so afraid of them for generations.

Noo, Tomiko-chan! I hope there is a reason behind her decision. I mean, how hard would have been carrying a granny with them using cantus? there's no consideration for the elders
At this point I don't know what could eliminate the fiend. I mean, Tomiko-san seemed frank about that. They were lucky back then, so she was implying how Shisei doesn't have a chance against it now. So I can't see Satoru killing him either. Unless they'd be lucky this time too. All depends on how the fiend has been risen. Or better, from Who. If Maria and Mamoru died against Yakomaru as I hope, then this child has no real connection with humans. Instead if Maria got caught by Yakomaru maybe she rose him/her for a while. Instilling in him some memories of Saki somehow (?). Even if this would go against the fact that he gave back the bones. So, it's a very slight possibility.
In the end I also would bet on Saki going berserk for some reason. Gaining back her memories or for Satoru's death or both.
Anyways, if anything with this show and PP surely one thing is clear. Don't ever let you guard down even if you live in the most "peaceful" world or if you are the most powerful race of your world. eheeh Makishima and Yakomaru are two great villains, even if Yakomaru out-matches Makishima by far. Even if in this episode they went a bit too far, did he play with DNA? If that's true it's even possible that he cloned Maria. (Even if I don't think so).
I can't find a direct translation but in my language there's an idiomatic phrase that sound like dying like rats that fits, the irony, with the situation Yakomaru put humans in. Let's see if he will play the game of cat and mouse
Don' get me wrong, I hate him, but I can't deny that he is fascinating.

Btw is queerrat even an accurate translation. I think I kept saying that because of the fansubs but come to think of it Bakenezumi translated to Monster Rat correct? Or can bake also translate to queer?
I am just ignorant when it comes to the language and I'd like to be set straight in this instance?

Obake/Bakemono are "monsters" (if loosely translated), but the origin of both words have different associations.
"Monster" comes from the latin root of "monere", which meens "to warn"; while "bakemono" comes from "bakeru", "to transform", or "to appear in disguise" (according to some online dictionaries; people who speak Japanese better than I do correct me).
My impression is that the name "bakenezumi" is supposed to make us think "looks like a rat but isn't quite one". Seen like that, "Queerrat" isn't that bad a translation, but it's missing the association to the type of "obake" who take the form of humans but aren't (kitsune, tanuki, and especially: bakeneko [due to having the actual "bake" in its name] etc.).
Anyone who speaks Japanese can correct me, but that's basically the result of my research back then. As it is, I prefer "Queerrat" to "monster rat", because of its emphasis on the uncanny.

"Queerrat" is not bad as far as translations go (it's definitely much better than "Cantus"), and it does have its own implications, as Dawnstorm said, but given the above, well... (Mind, I'm not saying that "monster rat" gets the same point across as the original, but I personally think that, or something along those lines, would work better in the context of the story, given the difference between "queer" and "monstrous".)
I guess this kind of anime tempts translators to go creative and use fancy translations and localizations, but when there's so much emphasis on playing with kanji and hidden meanings and such, I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to get very creative without doing the research, at least in case of key words. Straightforward translations may be "boring" but sometimes they're safer, I think. (And for what it's worth, most of the Japanese names for the creatures in Shinsekai yori are not particularly creative in a "sounds interesting and fancy" way. Fuuseninu = "balloon dog", sumifuki = "ink-spewer", etc. Pretty literal, and they have no cool kanji or unusual kanji combos. I think minoshiro is the only one whose name is not straightforward, but then minoshiro are supposed to be special creatures. Obviously this doesn't mean people shouldn't try to give them natural-sounding names in English, but I think that in some cases the simplicity is kind of the point.)
(And yet in manga like Bleach where translators could go wild with no later repercussions in the story, people want to keep everything in Japanese... )
Mostly unrelated to the above, but--

One question about the fiend issue. Death-by-shame is said to happen when a person intentionally attacks something that looks like a human being. Earlier in the series Rijin nearly died because queerrats reminded him of humans, even though he knew who they really were. Rats then used that as a tactics. The boy then attacked Saki because he knew of that tactics and didn't acknowledge her as a human, and didn't die. On the other hand, Kaburagi's eyes are covered all the time so technically he doesn't see any humans. It is a bit confusing, to be honest.

Anyway, I'm not lobbying for "monster" or anything. I'm just saying that "queer" isn't really the best word to use here.

You know with the fiend being as young it is. And with a society that's basically conditioned to consider anyone under eighteen inhuman, or if not inhuman, morally acceptable to kill if it benefits the community. The conditioning might not act as strongly as it does usually. I mean, ordering a large feline to murder an innocent child isn't all that different in terms of intent from, lets say: psychokinetically propelling an arrow into a misguided one. Is it?

However, what I intend to say is a bit more complex than what I've actually said. What you say makes sense, but "monster" has a certain element of danger that's... intrusive. For example, considering the current developments, what would you make of a sentence like this?
But they're just monster rats. How can they possibly hurt us?As a translator, I have the problem, that the "monster" part has the potential to make this unintentionally funny in a way the "bake-" part does not. The people in the actual conversation may not pick up on it, but the more people talk about it, the more likely someone will pick up on it, and then it turns into a serial joke. It's most noticable when the semantic fields of the words clash (monster vs. harmless), but it's more subtly present in other situations, too.
If I were stuck with the term "monster rat", as a writer I wouldn't, for example, have my characters say:
I had the monster rats fix the bridge. Okay with you?
I'd have the speaker shorten it to:
I had the rats fix the bridge. Okay with you?
The "official" name might be "monster rat", but there are situations where the "monster" just feels out of place.
I feel that "queerrat" doesn't have the same problems. It also flows better. Personally, I think it's a translation that works better in most contexts and is less likely to cause translational hiccups. It also flows better (in that the "r" is pretty fluid, and your done saying it quite fast.)
"Queerrat", though, lacks a sense of respect that I get from "bakenezumi" that is still present in "monster rat". The added patronising effect, however, enhances the way the humans in this world see the rats, while not ruling out that they're scary. Still, I'd like something a bit more neutral.

Again, I'm not saying that the word "monster" should be used - I said, that, or something along those lines. Or something else, really, a word or compound that conveys a general effect of "eugh, what lowly, horrible creatures these are" - at least that's how I would approach the issue, but if someone managed to find an expression that conveys the original implications of "bakenezumi" and its etymology that would be even better.
In any case, personally I wouldn't have a problem with "queerrat", were "bakenezumi" not a key word in a context where I think "queer" doesn't really work. And that's where I leave this off - we can pick it up again when the anime gets to that point.
Generally, though, my opinion, that of course nobody has to agree with, is that when you have a show like this where language can potentially get tricky, it's better to play it safe than go wild with creativity. (Especially in subs. Dubs or text... those are different beasts.) Of course it's very important that the words flow naturally, one should aim at smooth and fluid expressions. But it's also important to keep themes and points as intact as possible, and if the language is part of that... Basically, I think in case of something like Shinsekai yori, if you don't know the full context it's better to keep it safe and neutral, to be flexible and open to whatever the show might throw at you.

Thought I would drop a note as I have been running the event for the past bunch of years and.
We had a great run with the Event over the past years and although the weather didnt always cooperate, we always had a great time at West Dennis beach for the Weekend. I want to thank all the people who were instrumental in making it possible for the event to happen:
Peter Kimball-
There is no way we could have ever done the event without this man. He was always willing to jump in and get things done. Peter brought most of the frame work, Generators, cables, cords and know how to really be the backbone of th event. A truly great person who's hard work should be acknowledged. Thanks "Fugitive"
Angela Kimball
Peter better half, who not only helped organize the event in the weeks before the event and kept us all on track toward the goal of having a great event, but put in her time for the weekend to be at the beach keeping things moving along smoothly. Thanks Angela!
Jerry Evans
- Cape windsurfing Hero, Jerry hand made beautiful trophies and designed the T-shirts for us as well as helped in set up for the event. His ever present laugh and smile along with his mad skills on the H20 were a huge part of the event- Git er Done!
Chuck Gerbutavich
Deputized constable for the weekend, Chuck and hit well lit up truck managed the parking and safty for the event and kept us all in line. (No one was ever harmed). Chuck thanks for giving us your time for all the years of the event as well as the hugs.
"Freestyle" Fred Vetterline
I met Fred at the very First Freestyle event many years ago when I was a participant, Freds enthusiasm for the Freestyle part of windsurfing was key in keeping people coming year after year to show their stuff. Thanks for keeping it alive freestyle!
Mike Burns
Not only a kick butt freestyler, Mike was a huge help in getting the word out about the event and encouraging others to come and have a great time. Always willing to help make it happen. Mike took on Pro rider Whit Poor in a heads up battle and proved that East Coast Rules!
Steve "Skillet" Skillings
- Steve took care of the sound system and was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure we had what we needed to get our groove on. Steve is one of the great one's in this world, A man I dont know super well, but admire greatly. Thanks Steve!
Judith (good juju) Mann
Last and certainly not least is my beautiful wife Juju. She picked up all the loose ends that made he event happen. Always on task and with the Goals in mind, she ran around tying up any and all loose ends. Really she is the reason the event happened at all.
Love you.
I wish we could have continued the Event this season, but unfortunately the escalating cost of insurance, etc has caused us to have to discontinue for now.
Thanks to all who came in the past and made the event a great one.

Sorry I meant to say evicting Shelliar!
Adam has said he goes where there's safety. It makes me shake my head every time a different "side" wins and he walks right over there and stands with them when a second before he was against them...But at least he's not a dirtbag who swears on his spouse and child and sits in the DR with an ugly smirk on his face saying he'll do/say anything to keep him safe.Shelly's the worst.
Reading the feeds -- Rach said she and Ragan are really close. I would like to see Rach -- get her confidence back and move on with her life. Brendon sucks the life right out of her from what I have seen with this season. But looks like she's going to marry the dork. (I'm being nice here) Like you, that's a discussion that could go on for a very long time. We'll see what goes down tomorrow. I'll end up reading the feeds from the show -- I won't be able to sit there and watch the HOH comp. I want to chime in to watch the drama that happened at the jury house, though.
My last thought of the evening. I was really hoping for some type of endurance -- since Porch can't play. Kalia I think will be good with the questions. Rach and Jordo needed some type of physical challenge for a chance at HOH.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! Kalia said that she keeps her mouth SHUT for 15 mintues in the morning so her boyfriend can get his thoughts together...[he needs to get more than that together] anyway back to Kalia, that is a LIE!!!!! yep, i said it, there is no way kalia can keep her mouth shut that long, I think the man [boyfriend] must be hearing impaired, and it takes him 15 mintues to find his hearing aides, i bet he turns those hearing aides down ..Grace is mean today, not really, i am just having some fun
Porsche's DRs make me laugh so much. I wonder if she like creates a script for herself when she goes in there

Recapped Cardinals on exhibit!
We have a pair of redcapped cardinals now on exhibit in the Upland Tropical Rain Forest!
Similar to the well-known American Cardinal, this South American bird is a type of finch! Redcapped cardinals use their strong beaks for cracking seeds and sturdy legs for perching.
Redcapped cardinals have surprisingly large feet, which allow them to walk steadily on floating vegetation as they feed in the mangrove swamps. Like many other finches, these songbirds have a beautiful call!

|Change of regiment and lipodystrophy
Dec 11, 2013
Hi Mr Vergel. I was on Lamiv, Ziduv and Efavirenz and undetectable for 6 years. I stopped taking the meds for three months (even though I shouldn't have stopped. I wasn't tolerating the side effects). After three months I got tested and my vl had raised a little bit and my cd4 dropped a little bit. So, after these 3 months off, I got back on meds, this time on abac, Lamiv, atazan and Ritonav. After only 2 months on the new meds my vl went back to Undetectable and my cd4 raised to 600. That's great news, and I'm very happy about it. The down side of it is that now it's been 7 months that I've been on the new regiment and I feel like I got more lipodystrophy than before. I had hopes that it would be improved by taking out AZT and Efav from my regiment, but I feel like I'm getting more facial and legs lipoatrophy. And fat gain on chest. This looks have really changed my social and professional life and I feel lost. I've read controversial thoughts on Abacabir, some say its not very linked to lipodystrophy, others say it is. And how about Atazanavir and Ritonavir? Are they protease inhibitors that could destroy mitochondria and cause facial wasting? Should I change meds again? I haven't got resistance to any meds at all. What would be the safest meds in terms of lipodystrophy free? I feel lost. I've been exercising a lot but nothing seems to stop my Lipodistrophy. This week I will get my estradiol tested, like you told me to, and also my CPK. But I would just like to hear what you have to say about this new regiment and my increase in lipo. Thank you so much...
Response from Mr. Vergel
All boosted protease inhibitor regimens have been shown to help reverse lipoatrophy when compared to non-nucleoside based regimens. You are taking boosted atazanavir.
No specific regimen has been shown to decrease lipohypertrophy (fat build up in the visceral area).
If your blood level of testosterone is low and your estradiol is high, you may gain fat more easily. Let me know what you find out about these levels. Also, have your physician look at your thyroid function since a sluggish thyroid can also cause fat gain. I am assuming that you are watching what you eat since nothing will work if life style is not helping. Nelson's Top 10 Tricks for Fat Loss
Last but not least and if nothing else works, have your physician look into performing a glucose tolerance test (GTT) to see if your glucose tolerance is affected.Impaired glucose tolerance can make you also gain fat easily.
Good luck and keep me informed.

MINNIE LETTEER MOORE'S relatives, please get in touch...
MINNIE LETTEER/Latier/Lateer MOORE and her daughter "Josie" Moore Harms were my father's cousins. He was fond of them. When I was a child we visited quite often in their lovely residence in Port Jervis, NY, where they owned and operated a "Tourist Home" (boarding house). Never dreamed they would end up as "mystery women" in our family tree.
An older cousin recently remembered, before he went off to WWII, they ran a store with gas pumps out in front in Sparrowbush, New York. This coincides with something my father once mentioned about Latteers running a little log cabin type trading post years back. (Just learned the MOORE's also worked there and helped run the operation).
MINNIE LETTEER MOORE was from the maternal line of my Elston family branch but have no idea of her exact lineage or if she had siblings. (Have not yet figured out where one of our relatives, Charity "Aunt Chat" Letteer came from, nor are my cousins aware of that information.
Am interested in knowing the names of the parents/grandparents of MINNIE LETTEER MOORE. Am also interested in knowing the given name of MINNIE LETTEER MOORE's husband (our cousins "JOSIE's" and GUY MOORE'S father and date and place of his death).
Am from the "Minisink" region (NY, NJ, Pa, once known as "The Frontier") where our roots run so deep they go back, for the record, to the early 1600's in this country. Clearly, some ancestors were already here when the Winthrop Fleet arrived and the first Elston settled in Salem, Mass. (Come to think of it, I think there were MOOREs along for the ride).
Historically, settlers grouped together when migrating so the ELSTONs and MOOREs possibly were "rooting around together" for centuries, instead of simply the few generations of which we're aware.
There are so many grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles and cousins with the same given names, one could go stark raving mad trying to separate them and their [email protected]#$#%&**! (Also difficult to keep track of where they rolled off to in their date with destiny).
Any help from my Southern, Northern, Mid-Western, Western, Eastern and Canadian cousins would be deeply appreciated. Meanwhile, a big HELLOoooooooo to the Elston's in Nottinghamshire.
Warmest regards to all,
Sherrill Elston Holley

Symbol - manipulate Perl symbols and their names
use Symbol;
$sym = gensym;
open($sym, "filename");
$_ = <$sym>;
# etc.
ungensym $sym; # no effect

print qualify("x", "FOO"), "\n" # "FOO::x"

print { qualify_to_ref $fh } "foo!\n";
$ref = qualify_to_ref $name, $pkg;
Symbol::gensym creates an anonymous glob and returns a reference to it. Such a glob reference can be used as a file or directory handle.
For backward compatibility with older implementations that didn't support anonymous globs,
Symbol::ungensym is also provided. But it doesn't do anything.
Symbol::qualify turns unqualified symbol names into qualified variable names (e.g. "myvar" -> "MyPackage::myvar"). If it is given a second parameter,
qualify uses it as the default package; otherwise, it uses the package of its caller. Regardless, global variable names (e.g. "STDOUT", "ENV", "SIG") are always qualfied with "main::".
Qualification applies only to symbol names (strings). References are left unchanged under the assumption that they are glob references, which are qualified by their nature.
Symbol::qualify_to_ref is just like
Symbol::qualify except that it returns a glob ref rather than a symbol name, so you can use the result even if
use strict 'refs' is in effect.

BATAVIA – Blythe Miller said if she knew as much about suicide prevention as she does today, her daughter would be alive.
Quincee Ariel Barnes-Miller would have been a Batavia High School senior this year. She died because of suicide her sophomore year.
Miller spoke about her experience Tuesday at the Suicide Awareness Community Assembly at Batavia High School.
"Many never seek help because of the stigma and shame," she said. "We need to change negative attitudes and demonstrate that people with mental illness are everyday people leading meaningful lives."
She was joined by Donna Wagner, another parent who lost a child to suicide, a suicide survivor and a representative from Suicide Prevention Services in Batavia. The assembly was organized by the Future Educators Association in an effort to raise awareness about suicide and break the stigma that surrounds it.
Wagner, who lost her son, Dylan, when he was 15, said she never would have described her son as depressed, sad or suicidal. She said he had talked to friends about being depressed and wanting to hurt himself, and she was sad her son didn't trust her enough to tell her.
She encouraged those at the assembly to tell someone if they know people who want to hurt themselves.
"If you notice a change in a friend, or someone tells you they are in so much pain, or are depressed or wants to hurt themselves, tell someone," she said. "There are people who care. Our family lives with the pain of Dylan's suicide every day."
Rachel Hathaway, 17, who graduated early from Batavia High School in January, described how she carefully hid her depression and suicidal thoughts from family and friends. She lost interest in school and soccer and her sleep habits drastically changed. She said small problems that she usually would have brushed aside suddenly felt like huge hurdles.
"I was stuck inside a world that I absolutely hated, and I just wanted to be left alone," she said.
To cope, she started to cut herself and covered her scars with jewelry, clothing and makeup. She even set a date for when she planned to commit suicide. Hathaway said she attended an Operation Snowball retreat and decided to open up.
"It was the hardest and best choice I ever made," she said.
She eventually contacted Suicide Prevention Services and through weekly counseling, she learned how to step back from a situation before it escalates. She said some days are more of a struggle than others, and it's still a work in progress.
"I can't take on my problems alone," she said. "I had depression, but that doesn't define me."
Mari Wittum, director of clinical services with Suicide Prevention Services in Batavia, said 80 to 90 percent of people who try to take their lives tell someone about it. She said the best thing to do is talk about suicide and to listen to those who talk about it.
Miller said she copes with the loss of her daughter by attending a grief group and surrounding herself with people who understand what she's going through.
"It does get better. Life does get easier," she said. "Just because you had a bad day doesn't mean it's not worth waiting to see what tomorrow brings."

Charles Kingshaw, the son of a husbandless housekeeper, moves into the grand ancestral house of Edmund Hooper, the son of an aristocratic Englishman. From the start, Edmund makes it clear to his father and Charles that he has no intention of being friends with Charles. Edmund is one territorial child, somehow perceiving that Charles will encroach in his domain.
But it's not enough that Edmund verbally abuses Charles. He locks Charles in his grandfather's room which houses a creepy collection of dead moths. He engages Charles in a fistfight. Charles makes it a point to get out of Edmund's way every day, but Edmund is intent on being the bully, the stalker, the antagonist. One can see that the situation is hopeless unless the parents intervene. Charles's mother and Edmund's father, however, remain clueless to the goings-on in their house. The parents have struck an awkward flirting phase with one another.
I'm the King of the Castle provokes a host of reactions from its readers. Some mention that the novel has a gothic, creepy feel to it. With the novel's setting and Hill's sombre turns of phrase, this reaction is justified. There's a pervading gloom in every page of the novel, as if Hill is preparing the reader for the eventual catastrophic climax.
Others mention that the novel is a crossover one, a work of fiction that can be read by both adults and young adults. This is rightly so, especially with Hill's accessible gift of narrative. I'm sure that both audiences will be able to relate to the themes of parental blindness, bullying, and dreams of fleeing.
I'm a big fan of Susan Hill, especially her ghost stories. The Woman in Black is my favorite ghost story. The Man in the Picture and The Small Hand are great creepy reads during rainy nights. Hill provides I'm the King of the Castle with a different kind of terror. It's a terror that's all too real and familiar, and it's from individuals whom you never imagine can give it -- children.
Read this book if:
- You've been scarred for life from bullying.
- You love Susan Hill's atmospheric novels.
- You're a parent of precocious children.

The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Coastal Wetland and Wildlife Impacts and Response
Description: The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010, and the resulting oil spill began a cascade of effects on the coastal areas of the Gulf and on the wealth of species that inhabit those areas. This report addresses the importance of wetlands in general, the ecology of the coastal wetlands in the Gulf, impacts of oil spills on wetland habitats, response options, the implications of hurricane season for the spill's impacts, and cleanup and recovery issues. The emphasis is on the nearshore environment, although a few species found in deeper waters will be mentioned. In addition, some lessons from past spills such as the Exxon Valdez in Alaska will be discussed, along with issues that may arise as response and recovery transition to restoration of the Gulf.

PHOTOS - Here's slideshow of our top quotes
With one last look back as we begin 2012, here is a run down of some of the most memorable and crazy quotes of 2011.
1. Charlie Sheen during his downward spiral:
On his natural high: "I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available. If you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body." ("20/20.")

2. Barack Obama on his ancestor Falmouth Kearney leaving Offaly in search of the American Dream:
"It's the dream that Falmouth Kearney was attracted to when he went to America. It's the dream that drew my own father to America from a small village in Africa. It's a dream that we've carried forward, sometimes through stormy waters, sometimes at great cost, for more than two centuries. And for my own sake, I'm grateful they made those journeys because if they hadn't you'd be listening to somebody else speak right now."

3. Queen Elizabeth in her speech at Dublin Castle:
"To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all."
4. Revealed in the Jackie Onassis Kennedy tapes this year, her impression of the Irish:
"There seems to be all these Irish-- they always seem to have a persecution thing about them" she said.

5. Damian McGinty on winning 'The Glee Project'; he told IrishCentral.com:
"This doesn't happen to people from Ireland, especially from Derry, it just doesn't happen. To get to be on the biggest TV show in America is just a dream come true."

7. Bono on finding the sound of his own voice annoying:
"'I do try to avoid it. If I hear our songs on the radio I tend to turn them down. Not because I don't like them or believe in them. Actually, my voice annoys me. I always think I could have sang it better."

8. Rory McIlroy on winning the U.S. Open:
"The whole week has been incredible - I could not have asked for any more and I am so happy to hold this trophy.

So how well known are Baggio and Thành Phúc? All I know is that they're actors.
:luvya:I love this couple.They r best couple gay. Im Tarfan fr. Thailand.
One of the tasks on next episode at Con Dao Islands is smashing the ice blocks by a spoon (to get the clues?)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlE5KV17wwo&feature=youtu.be
So far the toughest leg imo
Also is the next leg starting immediately, or is the leg double-length? Silly question, but the difference matters to me.
Are they allowed to empty the baskets of coconuts if the baskets are full, like what brothers & travellers did?
Hello every one.Very difficult to watch by youtube fr.Thailand. :conf:But i did my best.My answer about actor team.They look like gay team maybe it not mind think.My favorite team tar vietnam. 1.Dating couple. (i love her boyfriend.She very lucky&her longlife happyness.)Possitive thinking. 2.Brother team. Both look like twin brother.Face not diffirent.Try to work hard /good team work. 3.Cousin team. Good team.No luck.Every team want to kill them. 4.Professional Traveller team. Strong team look seriously race& sometime a little bit 5.Actor team.More hi speed active&sometime But almost Vietnam beatiful country&nice people.And now i try to load by youtube.So difficult.
Hoàng of the dating couple in the yesterday episode said that he's also a weight-lifter, so I think two basket of coconuts were not difficult for him to carry. He's a very very cool guy
Was Hoàng penalised the 2 hours?Also, by answering the 10 questions correctly, the 1st time, may indicate that the actors MAY BE gays after all! Even the couple couldn't do it the 1st time around...
One of the tasks on the next episode is singing cai luong (aka reformed theatre, a form of Vietnamese modern folk opera). Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iphn6LN25LQ&feature=player_embedded
That leg sure was something. The actors are clearly the most-likely winners, but I'd rather the dating couple or the brothers win. Also, is the final leg going to be in Ho Chi Minh City as well?

This page is in progress and is the artifact for http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-718.
Numbers and Math
As of version 1.3, Clojure provides full support for JVM primitive values, making it possible to write high performance, idiomatic Clojure code for numeric applications.
Numeric Types
- Primitives - These are raw JVM primitives, not object references. They are by far the fastest way to do math on the JVM. Although it supports all primitives for the purposes of Java interoperability, for most purposes Clojure uses only long and double. Clojure will seamlessly promote ints to longs and floats to doubles as needed. When calling back to Java for interop, conversions to a smaller primitive type are checked for overflow, so no safety is lost.
- Boxed Numbers - These are full objects that extend the java.lang.Number class. Clojure supports the full set of types built into the JVM (Integer, Long, BigInteger, Float, Double, BigDecimal) as well as two additional types:
- clojure.lang.Ratio, for expressing rational numbers that cannot be expressed as a decimal without truncation
- clojure.lang.BigInt, which is similar to Java's java.math.BigInteger in allowing integer sizes exceeding 64 bits, but provides better performance by delegating to native operations when small enough.
It is possible to create most types of numbers as literals directly within Clojure code:
Literal Syntax
primitive long (decimal)
a number, with no leading zeroes
primitive long (octal)
a number with a leading zero
primitive long (hexadecimal)
a number prefixed by 0x
primitive long (arbitrary base)
base + r + the number
2r101010, 12r36
primitive double (standard notation)
a number containing a decimal point
98.8, 3.3
primitive double (scientific notation)
coefficient + E + sign (optional) + exponent
rational number
number including a slash, with no spaces
1/3, 33/16
fixed point decimal (java.lang.BigDecimal)
number with M suffix
big integer (clojure.lang.BigInt)
number with N suffix, or a number too large to fit in a long
Math Operations
All of Clojure's mathematical functions and operators work polymorphically on all numeric types, primitive or boxed. When given primitives, they will use native JVM operations if possible.
When different types of numbers are used in a math operation, the result will be the larger or more general of the two types. For example, an operation involving a primitive long and a primitive double will result in a primitive double, and an operation between a primitive long and a BigInt will result in a BigInt. On other words, doubles and BigInts are "contagious" across operations. This is an intentional and useful feature, as it allows entire algorithms to be fully polymorphic based on their inputs. An algorithm written using standard operators will use fast native integer math when given primitive longs, fast native floating point math when given doubles, and will still function correctly with no overflow when a BigInt is introduced.
When an integer operation results in a value that cannot be contained in a 64 bit value, a java.lang.ArithmeticException is thrown - values will never roll over silently. This feature allows primitive math to be very fast, while retaining safety from data corruption due to silent overflow. It also ensures consistent semantics across usage with both primitives and boxed numbers. If automatic upgrade to a BigInt is required, and introducing a BigInt to the original operation to make use of BigInt contagion is not possible, Clojure provides a set of alternative math operators suffixed with an apostrophe: +', -', *', inc', and dec'. These operators auto-promote to BigInt upon overflow, but are less efficient than the regular math operators in that they cannot return primitive integers, only boxed ones.
For applications where integer rollover is not a concern, additional performance may be achieved by using the
The = operator (equality) tests numeric equality. Compares values in a type-independent manner, but not between different categories of numbers (e.g, floating point types and integer types.) This allows numbers to be used as map keys with correct semantics. To check numerical equivalence between floating point and integer values, use the == (equivalence) operator.
Primitive Hinting
By default, when a number is passed to or returned from a Clojure function, it is boxed (that is, it is handled as a java.lang.Object). To prevent this, it is possible to add primitive type hints to a Clojure function. The return type can be hinted as a primitive by placing ^double or ^long immediately before the argument list, and also immediately before each argument.
For example, the following function uses only primitive longs, even across its recursive function call:
It is important to note that due to the underlying Java implementation, functions which take primitive arguments may only have 4 or fewer arguments. Trying to define a function with primitive hints and more than four arguments will result in the compiler throwing an exception.
Casting and Coercions
It is possible to convert a boxed number into a JVM primitive using one of the following coercion functions: byte, char, int, long, float or double.
Similarly, it is possible to convert a primitive number into its boxed form using the num function, or into a BigDecimal or BigInt using the bigdec or bigint functions, respectively.

Nicholas Chavez was snatched from a public park near
My Soul to Keep is the third Dylan Foster book, a Christian fiction series in which Dylan has been doing battle with demon Peter Terry. I have to admit that I am not overly familiar with the "Christian fiction" genre, especially Christian thrillers, but I can certainly understand the appeal after reading this Melanie Wells novel. Yes, it is about good vs. evil and, yes, demons and guardian angels are some of the book's main characters. Dylan Thomas does appeal directly to God in prayer but she doesn't really expect to always have her prayers answered. Melanie Wells presents her as a bit of a lazy Christian, someone who might not attend church regularly but who still believes in God and the lessons of Christianity, someone who plans to do better someday but has not quite gotten around to it yet.
Melanie Wells deals with brutal characters in her story but, in what might best distinguish My Soul to Keep as "Christian fiction," she draws the line at letting her characters use some of the harsh street language that real-life thugs are so prone to use. Her dialogue brings them to the brink of some of those words but Wells stops at precisely the point where her readers will have to use their own imaginations in order to complete some sentences. She does this so naturally that even fans of the most hardcore mystery writing will hardly notice it.
My only regret is that I was unaware of this series before book three came my way. My Soul to Keep works as a stand-alone but it did take me a while to understand the true nature of the Peter Terry character. Readers new to the work of Melanie Wells might want to consider starting at book one in order to have a clearer understanding of the plot line that runs from book to book. As for me, I'm searching for copies of books one and two while looking forward to book four.

An icon of motorcycling, the Honda Super Cub changed the perception of motorcycles in American culture by creating a bike that normal everyday people could use for basic transportation needs.
As times have changed, and a new-found desire for a cheap, efficient, people-pusher has emerged in the motorcycle industry, and Honda seems uncomfortable letting companies like Brammo tread on its domain.
Accordingly at the Tokyo Motor Show this week, Honda released an all new electric scooter design that plays heavily off its Super Cub predecessor. More info after the jump.

- Closed Captioned
Based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. Indeed, The Princess Bride offers a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale depicting stable boy-turned-pirate Westley's journey to rescue Buttercup (Robin Wright), his true love, away from the evil prince (Chris Sarandon), whom she had agreed to marry five years after learning of what she had believed to be news of Westley's death. With help from Prince Humperdinck's disgruntled former employee Miracle Max (Billy Crystal), swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a very large man named Fezzik (Andre the Giant), the star-crossed lovers are reunited. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

A) They have souls too. They wander around and with enough of the correct chakra, they can reform their bodies.
B) Jyuubi's body is still in the moon and a tailed beast's soul can still go back there. But with enough time, it escapes and reforms a new body.
I don't get why Kyuubi keeps saving Naruto though. He can just revive eventually. Maybe B is true and he's afraid of losing himself as Kyuubi.

I feel like stating my theory (not unless it's already been confirmed) I'll keep it very short.
I think The Sage of Six Paths gained his eyes from becoming the 10 tails Jinchuuriki. I think that's where kekkei genkai powers come (and evolve from). This also goes into my theory that Gaara has now started a kekkei genkai. As we all know, when he survived the extraction he still kept his abilities, meaning that this has been ingrained into his DNA. But, I guess the best way to confirm that would be to see if his children has sand powers (if he ever have children, that is).
If this is already assumed by all, then disregard this.

Remember the story of the sage of Six Paths is in Konoha, when Madara revealed this he could only read 2 of the three parts (he could read the sharingan, the MS but he needed Nagato's eyes to read the final part). The original of the ten tials will probably be revealed if he reads the scripture with Nagato's eye. It will probably be a big reveal in the current arc. Either that or it will reveal some destiny for Naruto like the Sage frogs had for him.

If he wanted the renningan from Nagato. why would he give them to Nagato in the first place?

But to return to the original question: we only have assumptions, so if we take Madara's words literally then he had the rinnegan before he met Nagato. But it doesn't matter anyway, since Nagato was under his orders he could simply order Nagato to read it for him. Or do you expect that Nagato lied to Madara?
One sign that he didn't lie is that when he did his Chibaku Tensei he said that the sage created the moon with it, and Madara tells the same thing to the kages at the summit, so it seems these two guys had the same knowledge. But of course there can be a last chapter in that text that Nagato didn't want to reveal to Madara, but why would he lie to Madara when he was always so loyal to him, Kishimoto never even hinted that Nagato was not totally loyal to Madara.

another problem i have with the manga how rinnegan and sharingan is heavily concentrated on cause it was passed down by the riqudou...but where does the byuyaken come in? i thought the sharingan was the evolution from byuyaken?

As for the Byakugan I thoguht it was the other way, that it is a branch off of the Sharingan (it only takes the Sharingan's ability to see Chakra and none of its other abilities).

The Juubi was presented as an evil beast and the sage of the six paths was the savior.
But what if the reality is the contrary? The Juubi is actually a god and the sage stole the power of this god. and my wild guess would be that he used the treasured tools to trap Juubi.
It would explain why ninjutsu was impossible before the sage and we can have a proper ending for Kyuubi being merged with the other ones to be the god again.

A god..... seriously... Great let's introduce a god in a anime as if it hasn't been done to death.
I rather not. I'm rather enjoying this god-less manga/anime.
Besides we humans have invented enough god's to last us several life times.
However your idea of not having it all black and white is better then what we have right now. I'd rather see the sage be depicted as a proper (though powerfull and wise) human, instead of something omnipotent. Then again his lineage splitting was a mistake, so I guess he's not without flaws.

I mean in DB/DBZ there were some "gods", and Goku and company usually became stronger than the current god and then a stronger one was introduced.
There was the green namekian old guy, then there was the small one that lived on a small planet with large gravity, then the one that wanted to capture Majin Buu. They just leveled up beyond the power of gods
The idea of becoming strong like the gods seems to be fitting these type of shonen manga where the heroes constantly level up. Here the word "god" means someone whose power level seems impossible to reach, but then the hero of course succeeds.
And of course in the process they became strong enough to blow up planets and shit.
I think Kishimoto doesn't want to go that way for now, but when the manga ends maybe some business people will show him lots of money to continue.
For now the only one who was "god" was the Sage of the six paths, but again he is just a plot device for now. One of the negative effects would be that with such powers even death would become meaningless, like in DBZ where dead people could be brougt back. Then the sacrifice of people like Jiraiya, Minato or Itachi would lose it's weight and that would make the whole story much weaker.

Merry Christmas Starstruck
Hello Cowboys fans and Lonestarstruck lovers!
I wanted to take this opportunity to wish a very Merry Christmas to Kelly and her family. Kelly (Starstruck) is an amazing lady with talent like I've never seen. Her passion for The Dallas Cowboys shows in every thing she creates. She does so much for Cowboys fans and puts so many hours of work into this blog site and the graphics she creates. I am constantly in awe of Kelly.
We've been so fortunate lately to begin to really acquire some good writing on here. It's a terrific group of people. I am so pleased for Kelly's sake that this site is becoming so successful and attracting such awesome people. It's Kelly's standard of excellence that has set the bar and is bringing these great people her way.
I met Kelly on myspace just a little less than 2 years ago and I have grown to know her and love her as a very very close friend. I can't express my affection for her in words. We have a deep love for our boys (we each have an only child) and we have a ridiculous love for The Dallas Cowboys. In having that in common, we had a foundation to build a beautiful friendship and mutual respect for each other. I feel incredibly blessed to be closing out 2007 with Kelly as a daily part of my life.
I know you all appreciate her as much as I do so if you would just shout out in the comments here and let her know, it will mean the world to her.
I can't wait to see what you're going to come up with next. It just keeps getting better all the time.

PhD is the abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, and is usually awarded after completing extensive research in a specified field of study. This research must significantly contribute to the current knowledge base, and must be completed with a dissertation or thesis. Often the dissertation or thesis must be defended in front of a panel of experts in the field and only after successful defense, the degree of PhD is conferred. A PhD degree usually takes a minimum of 4 years to complete, but sometimes longer depending on the student, university, and program.
There are many universities and programs that offer top PhD programs internationally. Students wishing to continue their education have a wide range of top PhD programs options, which include doctoral programs in health professions, psychology, engineering, education, biological sciences, and biomedical sciences. There are top PhD programs in each country, so students considering a PhD have a number of countries to choose from.

All over the world, both online and classroom based doctoral programs exist for students who wish to advance their professional capabilities through the highest of educational applications and practice. Doctoral programs are offered in many academic fields. Most doctoral programs will take between three and ten years to complete.
PhD Online programs are becoming popular at many universities. Most of the PhD Online programs can be completed almost entirely online, however some may require occasional attendance on campus. There has been advancement in technologies that have made PhD Online programs much more effective, such as interactive online classrooms and online libraries.
A DBA or Doctor of Business Administration is a research driven graduate degree designed for the development of independent research skills for business practices. DBA candidates examine current theories, practices, and polarizing issues in business and utilize more applied than theoretical research. A full-time DBA usually takes 3-4 years to complete.
PhD and DBA programs are offered in many fields. Have a look at some of the best PhD and DBA programs below!
PhD is the abbreviation for "doctor of philosophy," a phrase that understandably causes confusion. Like "arts," this use of "philosophy" usually has nothing to do with studying the discipline of philosophy. The basic meaning of "doctor of philosophy" is that you have acquired the highest possible degree in your academic field. Highest degrees in any field are known as "terminal degrees." Jobs may stipulate that you hold a terminal degree: this distinguishes the doctorate from the master's degree, which is usually an intermediate degree, and thus commands less authority.
A degree with the word "doctor" in the title is also called a "doctorate." You may know that universities often award "honorary doctorates"—this means the recipient has not completed a doctoral program, but has achieved something (like inventing something beneficial to society) that deserves to be honored. The opposite of an honorary doctorate is an "earned doctorate." You see that phrase in job ads; its purpose is to indicate that if you have a merely honorary doctorate, you cannot apply.
There are many doctorates, and the PhD is one of them. Technically, the abbreviation ought to be written with periods: Ph.D. with the "h" in lower-case. However, countries have different terms and conventions, and plus, conventions change. Today, it is common to see the degree in all caps with no periods: PHD.
The PhD is one of the oldest doctorates, and bears the weight of tradition, history, and universal respect. PhDs are traditionally academic degrees, not professional certifications (not applied or vocational). However, this distinction is changing and blurring. Today, you can get a PhD in applied fields such as Management, Social Work, and Computer Science. You can also get a PhD in arts-related fields, such as Creative Writing, that formerly used the MFA as the terminal degree.
Benefits to having a PhD include prestige, the right to be viewed as an expert and authority, and the ability to apply for high-level jobs. The PhD signals advanced research skills and qualification to teach at the university level. Living in this age of information and technology, within a globalizing economy, means that the need for more education and specialization is much higher than in the past.
Completing a PhD can be immensely rewarding if you are a serious intellectual who passionately loves learning. Nevertheless, if you are considering getting a doctoral degree for personal satisfaction, you should weigh this decision very carefully. Entering a PhD program is difficult, and a very serious commitment. Admission is rigorous, and may or may not require you to already hold a master's degree. Doctoral programs typically begin with coursework covering theory and methodology. Eventually, you take qualifying exams and perhaps also an oral exam. Some programs mandate fieldwork or supervised clinical experience, often several hundred hours. The culminating project is called a thesis or dissertation, which is a professional-level publishable project in your discipline. This project often begins with a formal proposal, takes years to complete, and ends with an oral defense before a committee.
PhD programs usually require at least three years to complete, and sometimes as many as nine. There is often a maximum time limit of 8-10 years. The reason they take so long is not so much the difficulty of the work, but rather, life often intervenes. Doctoral students are usually at a life stage when they are marrying, raising children and undergoing major personal events. Also, in some countries you will likely receive only small funding during your PhD, and need to earn on the side, which slows your ability to concentrate on your studies.
Funding for doctoral programs varies wildly depending on discipline and country. The ideal situation is to enter a program "fully funded," which means the university waives your tuition and you receive either a living stipend and/or guaranteed employment, usually as a teaching or research assistant. Many scholarships or "fellowships" are also available; a scholarship is monetary, whereas a fellowship usually implies a job, like an internship, which forms an excellent foundation for your resultant career.
These days, you can complete your PhD online. An online doctoral program has some obvious advantages: you can access your courses on your own schedule, and balance your work and family life without having to commit to a class schedule or move to a faraway campus. Online degree programs are much cheaper for a university to offer, since they do not need to pay for building upkeep, physical facilities, and so forth; the savings are passed to students as lower costs.
Online degrees are gaining popularity and respectability. Some employers still consider an online PhD inferior to a traditional one, but others understand that the versatility of the internet is part of contemporary life. Online doctoral programs are no less rigorous than traditional ones (or at least, you should ensure they are not), and involve substantial interaction with professors and peers.
Top doctoral programs will have well designed career centers to help you seek a job, as well as excellent support during your student years. Another marker of a good program is the ease with which you can find a professor to act as your mentor.
A PhD will provide you advancement in your career, usually a hefty salary differential, and prestige. You should thoroughly research career prospects before you commit to a program: some fields, such as the humanities, are increasingly glutted with PhDs, making it near impossible to land a job at all, especially if you are seeking a job as a professor. Other fields are expanding. Logically, if a field is growing in its need for research, and is connected with powerful policy decision-making, then a PhD in that field will be an asset. PhDs in economics, finance, marketing, and development studies, just to name a few, are solid bets for future job and salary prospects.
