Danny Moran, who covers Oregon State for The Oregonian, provides his insight into this matchup with CU:
3 Beavers key to this game
1.Ryan Nall, RB: The junior broke out for his first big game two years ago when Colorado was in Corvallis and has become the team's best offensive player. Health will be a factor since he missed the USC game with a sprained ankle, but he is expected to play. Nall is also a captain.
2. Jordan Villamin, WR: The 6-foot-5 senior should be the Beavers' go-to option in the pass game, but he and that part of the offense have struggled mightily since starting quarterback Jake Luton got hurt on Sept. 16 and was replaced by Darell Garretson. Villamin has only two catches for nine yards in the two games Garretson started this season.
3. Kyle White, CB: OSU is down two starting cornerbacks — Xavier Crawford (back) and Dwayne Williams (knee) — and sophomore Jay Irvine is questionable. White is a converted running back now tasked with leading the charge to shut down the trio of Shay Fields, Devin Ross and Bryce Bobo.
First impression of OSU interim coach Cory Hall and the impact he could have on this game and the rest of the season:
Hall was selected in large part because of the energy he brings to the team. He arrived prior to the 2016 as cornerbacks coach and quickly developed a rapport with his players and earned their respect given his own NFL experience as a defensive back. He has praised the coaching staff publicly since taking the job and said he would take a hands-off approach as far as play calling on both sides of the ball. His primary task for this week will be getting focus and energy from a team that went through the ultimate shock of losing its head coach mid-season.
Key statistic for Oregon State
I'll cheat by giving two: OSU ranks second-to-last nationally in both opponent third down conversion rate (53.2%) and fumbles (12). The Beavers have put their defense in brutal positions because of those turnovers all year and the defense's inability to get off the field in critical situations has also been a killer.
Oregon State can win this game if ...
The Beavers must find a way to settle themselves after one of the more chaotic weeks a team can go through, following the sudden and surprise departure of Gary Andersen. They will have to find energy and sustain it for four quarters, which has been a problem even with their head coach, and cut down on turnovers.

KABUL Bodyguards of Afghan Vice President Rashid Dostum who are wanted over allegations of torture and abuse of one of their boss's political rivals have turned themselves in to authorities after weeks of refusing to cooperate, officials said on Wednesday.The move comes after days of rising tensions within President Ashraf Ghani's fragile national unit government. Armed troops blocked streets around Dostum's Kabul residence to try to force him to hand the men over.Interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said that seven bodyguards were being questioned by officials of the attorney general's office.Dostum, a powerful ethnic Uzbek warlord with decades of experience in Afghanistan's turbulent politics, faces accusations that he ordered members of his personal militia to seize and detain Ahmad Ishchi, a former ally. He has denied the accusations.
Ishchi says he was subjected to days of severe beatings and sexual abuse, prompting demands from Western allies of the government for an investigation and trial.
The case has caused severe embarrassment to Ghani, who has faced heavy pressure from Western allies to act against his volatile vice president.However Dostum's powerful standing within the Uzbek community has made it difficult to replace him in a government that must try to keep a balance between the major ethnic groups in Afghanistan.

Source: own processing, using data from Nevsun Resources
On a co-product basis, the zinc cash costs should range from $0.7/lb to $0.9/lb and copper cash costs should range from $1.55/lb to $1.75/lb. On a by-product basis, the zinc cash costs are estimated at $0.6-0.8. Based on the production and cost guidance, it is possible to expect operating cash-flow of $147-216 million, at a zinc price of $1.5/lb and $174-247 million, at the current zinc price of $1.63/lb.
However, it is important to remember that Nevsun owns only a 60% interest in the Bisha mine, with the remainder owned by the Eritrean government. It means that it is possible to conservatively assume that operating cash-flow of approximately $100 million should be attributable to Nevsun if the current metal prices prevail. It should be enough to finance the majority of expenditures projected for 2018:
- $50-60 million - Timok Upper Zone - completion of the PFS, initiation of the FS, development of an exploration decline, land acquisitions, condemnation drilling, environmental and social studies, etc.
- $5 million - Timok Upper Zone and Lower Zone - exploration
- $4 million - drilling at the 100%-owned properties in Serbia and Macedonia
- $7 million - Bisha - drilling
Among the expected catalysts belong the completion of the Timok Upper Zone PFS (Q1) and a lot of drill results. Nevsun intends to drill 12,500 meters at Timok Upper Zone, 16,000 meters at other 100%-owned projects in Serbia and Macedonia, and 15,000 meters at Bisha. Moreover, there should be also an undisclosed volume of drilling at the Timok Lower Zone (financed mainly by Freeport-McMoRan (FCX)) and Tilva (predominantly financed by Rio Tinto (RIO)). Besides a positive PFS, the main boost to the share price may be delivered especially by drilling at Bisha, that is aimed at discovering new near-mine shallow copper-gold-silver deposits and drilling at the Timok Upper Zone that should focus on the new deposit discovered 500 meters to the east of the current resource area.
Although the major part of the 2018 guidance news release is positive, there are also some negative parts. The dividend payments were suspended completely. Although it was only symbolical $0.01 per quarter over the recent quarters, its complete suspension may disappoint some of the investors. What is worse, the permits for the Timok Upper Zone exploration decline that were expected in Q4 2017 haven't been issued yet. This delay may indicate that the whole permitting process may take longer than expected and the plan to start production from the Upper Zone around 2021 may be too optimistic. But the most damage to the investor's sentiment was probably caused by the fact that the management has reminded that an equity financing may be needed to fund the Timok Upper Zone initial CAPEX, that is estimated at $630 million according to the updated PEA. According to the news release:
The Company will continue to advance its financing activities for the Timok project in 2018. The Company is in early stage discussions with project finance providers and expects to advance these discussions on release of the Timok pre-feasibility study. In parallel with these discussions, the Company is currently evaluating options for sourcing additional capital, including equity, convertible debt, precious metal streaming, and strategic partnerships.
However, there is still a good chance to avoid the equity financing completely. As of September 30, Nevsun held cash & cash equivalents worth $151 million. If the cash generated by Bisha manages to cover all of Nevsun's exploration and development expenditures in 2018, the remaining Timok Upper Zone CAPEX will be around $600 million and Nevsun will still hold cash of approximately $150 million. If Bisha manages to contribute to the Timok Upper Zone development by at least $50 million in both 2019 and 2020, the financing gap should be around $350 million. It equals to 55.55% of the estimated initial CAPEX. The banks are usually willing to provide debt financing that covers 50-70% of CAPEX. It means that there is still a chance that Nevsun will be able to avoid the equity financing completely and if not, the resulting share dilution should be only limited.
The 2018 Bisha production guidance is positive. It is expected that the zinc, as well as copper production, will be notably higher compared to 2017. It is very important, as Nevsun needs the cash generated by Bisha to help to finance the Timok Upper Zone mine development. Another positive fact is Nevsun's exploration activity. It will drill not only at Bisha and Timok Upper Zone but also at other projects in Serbia and Macedonia and together with its partners also at Timok Lower Zone and Tilva. At the current market capitalization of less than $700 million, Nevsun is cheap. The Timok project alone is worth more than that. However, given the recent price action, it is quite possible that it will get even cheaper in the short term. The markets paid attention only to the more negative parts of the recent news release and the share price declined to the support level around $2. If this level is broken, it is hard to predict where the share price will stop. But I have no intention to liquidate my position. Quite the contrary. If the share price dips below $2, I intend to buy more shares.

Brothers eagerly join India's urban march
Social Movement: An economic migration is under way in which people are fleeing villages for life in the cities
By John Stackhouse
First published Nov. 24, 1994
Ram, Ashok and Rajinder Kumar are part of India's biggest social movement of the late 20th century.
The three brothers have joined the urban revolution.
As the youngest of five sons of a Biharipur farming family, the brothers have decided that the small village has no future for them, so they have moved to India's booming capital region, 300 kilometres to the west.
"Jobs are easy to find here," said Ram, 23, showing off the $15-a-month room that the three brothers share along with Ram's wife, Guddi, and one-year-old daughter, Rakhi. "Anyone can find a job here."
That most industrial jobs in Delhi pay about 25 cents an hour does not faze the brothers. In the big city, they each save about $30 a month; in the village, they had no savings at all.
In a city of 8.4 million that attracts about 200,000 newcomers a year, the Biharipur brothers, sipping Coca-Cola in their industrial colony, appear to delight in urban living.
Through their rooftop flat's single window dangle two important cords, one for electricity, the other for cable television. Under the window is a cooler (cost: $70); above it a 14-inch black-and-white television ($75). And illuminating the room, a 40-watt light bulb.
Downstairs, a neighbour has tap water which the brothers share. No more hand pumps.
Down the narrow alley, there are community latrines. No more fields.
And at the end of their block is a market full of vegetable carts, sweet shops, restaurants, juice stands, jewellers and cigarette stands. No more five-kilometre walks to town.
In Biharipur, the brothers left behind verdant rice fields, mango groves and fresh air. In Delhi, they have found cinemas, markets and an Asian version of multicultural television. "We don't understand a word of it," Ram said, "but we still like it."
There are more serious advantages to city life, too. When Ram's wife, Guddi, last year gave birth to Rakhi, she did so in a private nursing home in Delhi, paid for with his factory savings. In Biharipur, she would have delivered the baby in the family's adobe hut, attended only by the village's untrained midwife.
Thousands of economic migrants such as Ram and his brothers pour into Delhi every week. By 2001, the city's population should reach 12 million. In 1981, it was half that number.
Ram joined India's urban march in 1991, when a family friend secured him a job packing crates at the city's Campa-Cola factory. His younger brothers soon followed.
With the opening of the Indian market to foreign competitors such as Coca-Cola, the Campa-Cola plant was doomed. This summer it laid off its Delhi workers, including the Biharipur brothers. But with investment money gushing in the potholed streets of Delhi, Ram and his brothers quickly found other work at a nearby plastics-recycling factory, where they can earn 1,400 rupees ($60) a month, 250 rupees more than they made at the bottling plant. Best of all, the income is stable.
"In the village," Ram said, "too much or too little rain can change the whole year. There's a steady income here in the city. There are many companies. In the village, it is hard to fill your stomach."
What secured jobs for the brothers in the big city was a Grade 9 education - the minimum for any decent-paying factory job. They can read, write, multiply and divide, and they carry themselves with a confidence lacking in many of the other young men in Biharipur who did not finish primary school.
"After so much education, why sit at home and work in the fields?" asked Ashok. "It would be a waste of time, so I decided to try my luck in Delhi."
Now ensconced in the city, the brothers return by crowded bus to Biharipur for the big annual festivals of Diwali and Holi, and for family weddings. And always bearing gifts of new clothing for their parents.
Five months ago, at the height of the summer, the three brothers sat around their family home in Biharipur, waiting for Ashok's wedding to a girl from a nearby village - a girl none of them had seen before.
Their aging father, Mathura, who arranged the marriage in Ashok's absence, acknowledges that there are advantages to life in Biharipur: "You know the people you're working with. You can see your work grow. In the city, you have to work through the night sometimes. You have to say 'Yes' to the boss all the time. Here, I'm my own boss."
But Mathura, as he feeds the family's single cow, says there is no room for his three younger sons.
He has two older sons to work in the fields. "The younger ones need work," he said, "although I would have been happier if they had government jobs. Government jobs are permanent. A private job, they can fire you."
Dressed in blue slacks and a neatly pressed white T-shirt, Ram looks as though he does not belong in the village any more. His wife, Guddi, who is expected to stay inside the family compound when she visits Biharipur, is not happy about village life, either.
She prefers the city, and she wants Ashok's new wife, a village girl, to move with them back to Delhi, where she alone cares for the three brothers.
"It's up to her husband to decide where she will go," Guddi said. "But really, it would be nice to have another woman in Delhi. She would like Delhi."

Far Away, So Close/
Sometime after sundown, in the dark of night, a religious leader named Nicodemus comes seeking an audience with Jesus. They are talking about God, and how people become part of God's kingdom. The conversation bounces around, and there is a playful sparring with words, but in the end Jesus makes a strong, declarative summary statement: people become part of God's Kingdom because they are "begotten" by God…and they are drawn to the light of God so that they can bear witness to God's love and faithfulness.
Nicodemus struggled with the same issue facing many church-goers today, those who find themselves sitting in the pews but a million miles from God. Days go by, weeks, even decades…they see others all around them who seem to be "getting it", "finding God", "being born again", feeling joyful and filled with love. But nothing has "happened" for them! A life spent in religious discipline feels a bit like slavery if it doesn't flow from a living relationship with God. The soul can grow a nasty scab, and the spirit become bitter and discouraged. Such religion is not something celebrated and shared, but rather hidden and kept private…like the religious leader Nicodemus coming to Jesus under the cover of darkness. Even in the church, God's kingdom remains invisible until we are begotten from above.

Welcome to my little Niche within the library. So grab a coffee and let's review some books.
The Angel over the Right Shoulder The Beginning of a New Year by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A stressed and unfulfilled housewife and mother is asked by her husband to try an experiment; she's to have an hour or so each day just to do things for herself. The woman agrees and tries the experiment but everytime she goes into her room for a little 'me' time she is interrupted.
Unfulfilled and highly stressed out, the woman moans about how meaningless and mundane her life is until she gets a wake-up call and new lease on life by two Guardian Angels. This is a short story that can be read in one sitting. I truly enjoyed this inspirational book and identified with the main character. I thought the title ought to be 'A Woman's work is never done' until I read the ending.

Just as vintage Cabo catered to connoisseurs of sporting pursuits, the championship golf course at Querencia plays to connoisseurs of refined luxury as well. Its 18 holes span over 300 acres, carving their way through deep arroyos and resting atop cool, arid plateaus, at the top-ranked golf club in the peninsula. Certainly not a place for everyone. Querencia is a place to live a life (and play a game) of one's own, encircled by stands of ancient cacti and palm trees, and pleasantly absent of the trappings of crowded destinations.
Querencia, Tom Fazio´s first project in Mexico, is ranked the number one golf course in Mexico by Golfweek magazine. A true gem of Baja: a celebration of nature within in a private but relaxed club atmosphere. Fazio's Querencia offers spectacular views from every hole, a challenging yet playable golf experience that both daunts and delights its players. Harmonious transitions from hole-to-hole, subtle breaks, contoured fairways, uniquely shaped bunkers stations.

|He's a darn cute, little fuzzbucket.
With our recent news, we have wondered what Scully senses. He knows something is different and has turned into a little cuddlebug. His favorite thing in life used to be his toys, but now, his favorite thing is cuddling. Hugs, kisses, lying on the sofa to be my naptime pillow, sleeping with me in the mornings after Nathan has left. He's always been a sweet dog, but now, even more so. Unless you're a stranger walking by our house on the street. Or a cat. Then, he's a snarling, growling beast. I shudder to think about how we're going to manage back in the U.S. This house is our ninth in sixteen years (plus one six month residence in a hotel, so really, tenth), and it is the first with a fenced yard. We don't gravitate towards suburbia, where one might find a home rental with a fenced yard. But now, we may have to reconsider. That's right. We wouldn't consider moving to suburbia for our child, but for our dog, yes. If we treat our child anything like our dog, we are going to have one indulged, spoiled brat on our hands. Two, if we include Crazy on that list. Note to self: Do not spoil child, do not spoil child, do not spoil child.
I write this as I look out onto our terrace and see dog toys strewn everywhere. The dog has roughly 55 toys. The dog. But remember, toys used to be his favorite thing, so we just couldn't resist. Anything that squeaks and he can flop around and hit himself in the face is a winner with him (the moniker Crazy Dog is not in jest), but we have hit the jackpot. On our recent trip to the States, I stopped into our favorite, dog toy store in Alexandria, VA (The Dog Park on King Street), and there, I found a supersonic toy. The squeaker squeaks at a frequency that Scully can hear but we cannot. Yippee! So now, when I'm on the phone or friends come over, and Scully begins to act like a two year old wanting attention by squeaking his toy right-in-my-face, I can just sit back and continue my discussion. Hah! After four years, I have outsmarted the dog. I am going to be a fantastic mother.
|It's the "Island of Misfit Toys."

This is a group for men who enjoy Freeballing, going Commando, oh heck, just plain not wearing underwear! It is an un-necessary piece of very restrictive clothing. When we are nude, our equipment hangs free, why not when we are dressed! Share experiences and stories about your times freeballing, and how you got started.
Telling peopleReturn to Discussions
It's the "gateway" apparel. You start going commando, and the next thing, you are mainlining nudity. grin
Underwear does come up some times as a topic of conversation at a party, or with close friends. Here in Hawaii, about half of the guys I know do not wear underwear, as the heat and humidity make for some really bad sweat rashes between the cheeks. Ditching the undies, cures that pretty fast. Of course with the warm climate here, most of the guys are into home nudity as well, or gardening naked, or going to the clothing optional beaches.
I'm always able to joke and tell them how rarely I need to do laundry. So that is a key benefit in time and money.
as the heat and humidity make for some really bad sweat rashes between the cheeks. Ditching the undies, cures that pretty fast.
The conversations at work lately have been funny. Last week the two ladies I share the office with were talking, discussing the BBQ that one had had at the weekend. To cut a long story short, it came out that she didn't wear knickers when she wore trousers. The other lady was gob smacked and didn't believe it. So I piped up with "what's the problem, I've been commando for a few years"
"Ewe, that's not right"
The conversation continued, and I did email another female colleague to include her and get her to pretend and wind her up even more. Later in the conversation we were getting things like "but jeans are course, don't they chaff" and "I'm now closer to Gary's bits cos there are fewer layers". My response was "you were perfectly happy at 9am and nothing has changed"
Anyway as the week has gone on, this conversation has obviously continued with other girls in the department and when I was back in that office yesterday, I found that we're now at the position where some of the girls, includeing the 'Ewe' one now agree that it's okay
"but not at work, it's not businesslike"
They also know that we enjoy the sun in the garden, and that Mar goes topless. The one who goes commando has also admitted that she's relaxed about clothes at home too. I'm just sitting back and enjoying listening. Lets see how it goes.
(The reason I quoted Steve is that heat, and heat rashes is why she started going commando to start with)
I only wear undies for special occasions. I was shocked a couple of years ago when I was having a skin cancer examination, at my local clinic, and believing that every bit of skin would be examined, I simply undressed, but was not prepared for the gasps by the staff in the room. they made me cover up, and examined all of me but the genitals and crotch. I let them know I believed it was a medical facility, so I should be able to walk in naked, as the Dr's would be able to see any ailment as I walked in. My new female Dr in the same clinic knows I am a nudist, and is quite happy to see me nude for the entire session. She is very comfortable with me, and I feel the same, we talk about the benefits, or not, of nudity, I even discuss masturbation and prostate health with her. She is young and very knowledgeable.
I take every opportunity to tell people I don't wear underwear. it might be a conversation on the laundry - they mention undies and I say What undies. Sometimes (like this evening) it has opened a discussion into my nudity.
My all close friends and cousin brothers know that i don't wear underwear and I am a nudist and they don't have any objection about my freeballing and my nudity.
Yaa but unknown person get surprise after knowing that I am freeballing.
When I tell any friends I have over that I don't wear underwear at home anymore, it's their warning that I'm going to be completely balls and butt naked commando when I greet them at the door. When I used to wear only briefs at home and had a friend over he kept teasing me about it in good jest. The next time he came over I was completely naked, and he was surprisingly stoic and respectful. Frankly I was expecting a lot of dick and butt jokes/puns...
I don't tell people that I am a nudist, but do drop some pretty big hints about being "clothing relaxed"
What I have found is that some people can appear to be acceptable and okay about it but then out of earshot be dead against it.
These days I spoon feed such info very slowly and wait for any rebuttal, sometimes days or weeks later. Usually, by hearing that someone has passed comment to Mar
I've been surprised at how often underwear comes up in conversations with friends, both male and female. And why not? There's the perennial boxers vs briefs conversation, but I find the commando option pops up more often, especially when guys are at home or working out.
I don't miss an opportunity either to tell. The responses are always interesting even if negative it tells me something about the person. Normally it is positive reaction or don't care reaction. I haven't run into any other full time freeballers though.

I recently read this article about the dual role of architects. The article talks about how some building contracts will be "architect administered," meaning that the architect who designed the construction will also be assessing tenders and then acting as contract administrator once the chosen builder commences works. – Read More
This very dangerous for both and even the third party. During the progress the Architect becomes an advocate for both parties which is a conflict of intended interest.
Talk about duty of care, duty to warn and conflict of interest. It should only be about guidance.
How can an architect give direction to both parties when engaged by both? Litigation is looming here.

This morning, as he sometimes does, Mike woke up before 5am. In an effort to avoid disturbing me, he decided to go outside and sit on the balcony. At about 6 he came and crawled back into bed.
"Did you hear the dog?" he asked.
At this point I may have said something uncomplimentary about that dog. Profane, even.
I could feel Mike smiling in the darkness.
"Is it that scruffy little sod? That mangy cur?" I asked. "The one that sits in the street next door looking miserable all day long? Is that the pre-dawn howler?"
"Yeah," Mike said. "That one. Want to hear something interesting?"
"You saw a tuk tuk run over him this morning?" I asked, hopeful.
"The gate to the guesthouse was open," Mike said. "He could have gone out into the street and played and been a happy little dog. But he didn't. He was sitting, howling, in front of a wide open gate."

While there's an ongoing debate as to who the original creator of the hamburger is … Louis Lassen is most frequently credited with fashioning the very first one, in New Haven, Connecticut … in 1900.
As the story goes … a customer was a bit pressed for time and asked Louis for something "quick and delicious".
Lassen grabbed some ground beef and mixed it with the ingredients he usually used for his steak sandwiches. He then broiled the ground beef and pressed it between two pieces of toasted bread.
No one could ever have imagined the popularity the hamburger would go on to enjoy. In fact … it's estimated that Americans consume 50,000,000,000 (and that's not a typo – 50 BILLION) … hamburgers each year!
What does this have to do with Match and Fable's latest role?
Nothing really.

- Ensure an exceptional guest experience via effective staff training & development
- Perform regular table visits to drive positive guest interactions
- Manage inventory levels, freshness standards and ordering of supplies
- Oversee & manage company cleanliness and product freshness guidelines
- Deliver an elevated guest experience by creating an upbeat … high energy atmosphere
- Oversee and manage all COGS (and if you don't know what COGS is … this probably isn't the role for you).
- MUST HAVE: 2 years' experience in a similar role, management role (leading and coaching teams)
- MUST HAVE: Kitchen, scheduling, inventory and cost control experience
- A genuine 'hands-on' management style … where you are comfortable contributing in all aspects of the business; from prep … to cook … to … (quite honestly) whatever it takes

Written by Adam (aka Goingslow)
So what do you need…
Unlike consoles every pc has a different specification, here's the basics for what you'll need. I'll stick with recommended system requirements because chances are if you're a pc gamer your going to have a semi decent pc! (hopefully that's a fair assumption)
- CPU – 3.2ghz pentium 4
- NVIDIA GeForce 7000 graphics card 256mb
- 1GB of RAM
- 6.5GB of free HDD space
- DVD drive
- Broadband for online play
- It will work on both XP and Vista (32 bit)
As you would expect there is also the usual 'or better' phrase added to all requirements and it also recommends you have all the latest available upgrades for both windows and your graphics card.
For this review I'm using…
So the above is what you need this is what I'm playing and writing this on.
- CPU – 2.4ghz core duo 2
- 2GB of RAM
- On XP home edition
- NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT 256mb
- Samsung 26" HD TV via VGA (1360×768)
The beginning – installation…
I have timed this from clicking 'install' until I was able to click 'play game', it came out at 15 minutes and 26 seconds. Considering it takes 6.5 GB I don't think this is too bad.
The in case guide…
To give you some idea of the detail given in the guide it's 45 pages long, 38 of which are full of game information and they don't use a large font either!! It's all relevant and well explained to try and give you the best start when you load it up.
The tutorials…
I'm new to the Empire Earth series but am very familiar with the Age of Empires series, so have a lot of experience with this style of play. In the guide you are prompted to play the tutorials even if you are used to Empire Earth. After doing so I feel confident I could load up a game and not be out of my depth, as the information is explain clearly both in text and via a narrator.
The graphics in this game are very respectable, the colours don't look quite as realistic as AOE but it doesn't look as if they have tried to do that so its not as if they failed. The movement of the people is fairly smooth and you are able to zoom in really close.
The interface is very similar to that of AOE, this however is not a bad thing as it is very easy to see what is happening on the map all the time and being able to control the characters and tell them what to do.
Game play/ conclusion…
Being able to highlight a whole group of characters and then specify which type I want to control is a nice plus. I would certainly recommend getting this game if you've played one of the age of empires games or are interested in this style of play. You can spend almost an endless amount on this game, and before you know it many of hours will have past!!
A lot of thought seems to have gone in and it shows, there is much, much more to this game than I have gone in to and I will spend more time exploring these and update as necessary.

You know what's funny? I was diagnosed with AvPD over two years ago. I started this blog shortly afterwards. And yet I never shared my diagnosis with any of my friends or family. I spilled my anonymous guts all over WordPress, but couldn't bring myself to speak a word about my issues to anyone who actually knew me.
Last Saturday, Coming Out Day coincided with NAMI's Mental Health Awareness Week. Granted, as a queer person, I usually hate it when anything that's not coming out as LGBT is compared to coming out as LGBT. But I do have some similar fears about telling people I'm queer and telling them I'm mentally ill. They might ridicule me, reject me, ignore me, or even try to harm me.
So, on Saturday I took a little step forward in the easiest way possible. I made a Facebook post about my diagnosis and what it is. I wasn't too nervous, because I "friend" people selectively and I had no reason to think that anyone who saw the post would respond poorly. I'm grateful for the fact that I was proven right.
No one is treating me any differently. Apart from a few supportive comments online, no one has even said anything. I've been terrified of sharing this information for two years, and when I finally did, the results were mercifully, practically non-existent.
I said something because speaking up is part of chipping away at stigma. Because hauling around this secret was beginning to feel more and more pointless. Because I'm tiring of acting like mental illness is a shameful secret that needs to be swept away.

Chilly Warm and Happy
And, before leaving you I wanted to share this e mail that I received from Brady's teacher because it's just too good to keep to myself. Maybe this homeopathic stuff is working?
Hi Alyssa,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how Brayden is doing in class. The past few days he has been working very hard. He has been very successful in completing his work with 0 reminders. :) He has also been doing a great job using better phrases in school. He is saying "what in the world?" instead of "what the.." He earned lunch with the teachers for doing his homework, which we had today with a few other students. He was very talkative and engaging with us, the teachers, as well as initiating conversation with other students.
Susan Jakob
Now how about them apples? He wasn't even able to complete a portion of his work 2 weeks ago because of his mind wandering and just not being able to focus. He was using inappropriate gestures and phrases and wasn't talking to anyone in class. I'm so thankful for his success these last few days...even here at home he has been conversing with me about more then video games and he's doing his homework without any help - and he does it willingly. I praise God for my little boy and him being Brayden the Brave.

LONDON (Reuters) - British singer Amy Winehouse has been charged in connection with an assault on Saturday night at a theater in Milton Keynes, police said on Wednesday.
The Grammy-award winning singer voluntarily attended a police station in the Buckinghamshire town with her lawyer on Wednesday afternoon, police said in a statement.
Winehouse, 26, was charged under the name Amy Civil, with a public order offence and common assault.
The singer won five Grammy awards in 2008 and her album "Back to Black" sold more than 10 million copies. But her troubled private life, including a battle against drug addiction, has overshadowed her recording success.
In July, she ended her two-year marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil.
She is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court on January 20, 2010.

The word "adjuvant" comes from the Latin word adiuvare, meaning to help or aid.Kenya Pipeline CompanyGama ToysTheodor Bilharz Research Institute: The Theodor Bilharz Research Institute is located in Giza, Egypt.CervarixMIM Pan-African Malaria Conference 2009Drug Resource Enhancement against Aids and Malnutrition: DREAM (short for "Drug Resources Enhancement against Aids and Malnutrition", formerly "Drug Resource Enhancement against AIDS in Mozambique") is an AIDS therapy program promoted by the Christian Community of Sant'Egidio. It is designed to give access to free ARV treatment with generic HAART drugs to the poor in Africa on a large scale: So far, 5,000 people are receiving ARV treatment, especially in Mozambique, but the program is being built up also in other countries: Malawi, Guinea, Tanzania and others.CD4 immunoadhesin: CD4 immunoadhesin is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a combination of CD4 and the fragment crystallizable region.ImmunizationMeningococcal vaccineFederal institutions of Tanzania: This is a list of the federal institutions of Tanzania.Health in Ghana: Health in Ghana includes the healthcare systems on prevention, care and treatment of diseases and other maladies.Erythrocrine: Erythrocrine describes red blood cell or erythrocyte for production and release of signaling molecules. The term "erythrocrine" was coined by Song et al.DPT vaccineAS04: AS04 (Aka. "Adjuvant System 04") is a trade name for combination of adjuvants used in various vaccine product by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), in particular the Fendrix Hepatitis B vaccine.Infrastructure Lifecycle Management: Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a term coined by the real estate sector. It covers the management of all core processes around planning, construction, operation, maintenance and commercialization of buildings or property.Psorophora howardiiEva Engvall: Eva Engvall, born 1940, is one of the scientists who invented ELISA in 1971.Eva Engvall, The Scientist 1995, 9(18):8Agriculture in Papua New Guinea: Agriculture in Papua New Guinea has a more than 7,000 years old history. Currently around 85% of Papua New Guinea's population lives from semi-subsistence agriculture.Pertussis vaccineDenise Faustman: Denise L. Faustman, (born 1958) is a U.Cholera vaccineMannitol motility medium: Mannitol motility medium is a bacterial growth medium used to detect the ability of bacteria to ferment mannite and produce nitrogen gas; and to indicate the motility of the organism.River Gambia National ParkInsect sting allergy: Insect sting allergy is the term commonly given to the allergic response of an animal in response to the bite or sting of an insect. Typically, insects which generate allergic responses are either stinging insects (wasps, bees, hornets and ants) or biting insects (mosquitoes, ticks).Kalinite: Kalinite is a mineral composed of hydrated potassium aluminium sulfate (a type of alum). It is a fibrous monoclinic alum, distinct from isometric potassium alum,American Mineralogist (1923) 8:15 named in 1868.Community-based clinical trial: Community-based clinical trials are clinical trials conducted directly through doctors and clinics rather than academic research facilities. They are designed to be administered through primary care physicians, community health centers and local outpatient facilities.Russell J. Howard: Russell J. Howard is an Australian-born scientist, CEO and entrepreneur.Mining in Gabon: Gabon was the richest of the former French Equatorial African colonies in known mineral deposits.
