In 20-years of going to Hawaii, we never understood the "Donkey X-ing" signs along the Queen K until we finally saw some while playing golf at Hualalai. We've seen mongooses (mongeese?), turtles, wild pigs, goats, and even a shark or two but never a donkey…Huddle ran into the lava to get a close up but, evidently, they could smell him because they soon departed.
Kona '05 – Images and Stories From a Week Gone By – Part 1How did we get to "7-weeks to go" and then fizzle out with our weekly reporting? I don't know. Somehow the days seem to be going by at a reasonable pace and then by the time Tuesday comes around, the pace picks up and, before you know it, you're listening to war stories and everyone's limping to the next buffet line.
We have a boat load of pictures still waiting to see the light of day on our News page so we'll see if we can post at least one story per day from now until we're out of pictures…ok, if not a story, then at least some pictures with a caption or two…after all, we know you'd rather just look at the pictures than read a bunch of crapola about a race you've already seen and/or heard about.
Besides, you could just look at past pre-race reports to know what happened in the days leading up to the event. Every year seems like a broken record. Some of the faces change but the same schedule of events is in place and the same build up of energy and emotion happens followed by the explosive release of all this tension on race day followed by the limping, dazed, happy faces on Sunday.
We're now well into the beginning of AIDS (after Ironman depression syndrome) for many as athletes find themselves back in the reality of their lives (work, family, etc.) and no goal…no goal, that is, until they've obsessed about split times, places, and settled on some new Ironman race in 2006!
It's making me tired just thinking about it.
One of the interesting was to remember how each of the athletes seemed in the days leading up to the race and then to see how they ended up doing. One of those was Peter Reid. While Peter had gone to hell and back over the course of the season (systemic illness and a long road to recovery from March thru July), he certainly seemed to be back. He seemed extremely relaxed and happy and was very much out and about in the days leading up to the starting cannon. This was a marked change from the serious, solitary hermit of years gone by.
Last year seemed to be the start of this change but this year showed a Peter willing to hang out at the Pier and Lava Java and generally mingle with everyone. He smiled more this week than I remember in '00, '01, and '02 put together so it was nice to see him looking truly happy and comfortable in his own skin. Even at the press conference, Peter seemed genuinely happy to answer questions and take on the responsibilities that the top professionals are held to in the week before the race.
On race day, he was the only serious challenge to Faris getting within 3-minutes of the German half way into the marathon only to fade to third but it was great to see him laying it all on the line to take a shot at the win. The 3-time Hawaii Champion has never defended so was a natural favorite coming off his 2nd place finish in 2004. Said to have been under the tutelage of Mark Allen again this year, one wonders if Mark knew that he cut his hair with a week to go. Mark was known to eschew hair cuts in the final 6-weeks before a big race – especially Hawaii – because he believed it was akin to cutting off your strength ala Samson & Delilah. Evidently, it didn't affect Peter…or did it?

Business Writing Can Be Better
Let's Worm Backwards to Walk Forward
Our goal is to say or write our idea more clearly.
Along the way we've picked up this notion that there might be more to communication than us just delivering thin slices of thought from head to mouth (or pen/keyboard)to our boss's brainpan. We're starting to think the process of communication does a bit of turbocharging to the idea and to the people on either end of the idea.
Take It From a Copywriter
That turbocharging is exactly what James Webb Young counted on. Young was an advertising copywriter who lived and wrote in the last century. His goal was to express ideas for money—he marketed products. So old ideas, cliched ideas, worn-out words and weary images—none of that would do. All that dated content was the same as saying, "Let your eyeballs slide past—you've seen this before and it doesn't matter."
Young held a particular fascination for two phases of pre-writing: preparation and organizing. His love of revision may not have been far behind. He thought new ideas were just recombinations of old ideas, so he did his best to fill his brain with all he could find out about a new product or new project or new assignment. Part of the copywriter's role in the world is to ask the most elementary questions, because forcing experts to simplify can reveal profound truths. He wanted to know everything, much like British copywriter Tony Brignull.
Asking questions, getting information, and then stripping ideas and combining and recombining ideas and then joining ideas that are impossible to join and then splitting ideas that are fused—all this until exhaustion sets in. And then the walk-away and then, if all goes well, the "Eureka!" Read more in Young's book A Technique for Producing Ideas.
Why Business Writing Sucks
It's because writing is not our job. We're engineers. Or scientists. Or physicians. Or managers. Our job is that noun or verb in our title, not writing. We're doers, dammit! But we're also humans, and humans learn by telling and by listening. It's our time-honored way of becoming less stupid.
But because our work-time is focused on the important stuff of our job, we miss the important stuff of being human together. So we pick words and images from the last decade to express our new idea and then slap them on paper or PowerPoint as quickly as possible to stop the pain of writing. And then we wonder why no one cares and why the boss with the budget won't listen.
Good communication means digging deep into why something matters. Often that involves self-revelation which also might call forth emotion. These are things humans use to communicate.
Worm Your Way Back into Your Process
To communicate in powerful ways, we must prepare ourselves and our message.
If we expect it to just happen, if we expect to throw-together some presentation, we doom ourselves to ready-made clichés and images, which are guaranteed to be ignored.
Powerful communication means going back to gather information, to ask what we want to accomplish, to think about our audience, to combine old ideas to get new ideas, to worry these ideas on paper until a fresh, revealing communication portal opens.
Along the way, expect a turbocharge that changes the idea, that changes the thinker (you), and might possibly change your relationship with the person at the other end of the conversation.

Persuade Me
But Not With Your Dumpster Words
Academic journals are near the top of our list for credible sources of information. The work of Retraction Watch (along with Professor Carl Elliot's snarky Fear and Loathing in Bioethics) has helped me understand that peer-review processes are fallible and can be gamed. Still, the intent of providing transparent work that smart people can discuss seems a solid route to truly reliable knowledge.
Promotional copy is on the other end of the continuum. As a copywriter, I try to use reason and logic to engage readers. And I'll bring in emotion to tell my client's story. But I want a discussion, not a manipulative parlor trick. Good copy addresses humans with reason, logic, and emotion that honors our humanness without resorting to manipulation. After all, that's how humans talk with other humans.
A Continuum of Believability
Further down the continuum of believability is sales talk. It's the kind of stuff we hear from the used car salesman and telemarketers or our 45th president: "best," "tremendous," "today only," "you've never seen anything like this." These are dumpster words that signify active lying or passive disinformation. You can tell by the lack of specificity. The words are in-credible, that is, not believable and we should turn away from them.
Somewhere in the middle of the continuum of believability are persuasive commentaries and editorials that are biased and meant to convince. Their authors acknowledge their bias straight on and early in their communication. We see their bias and take that into account as we read. Even nearer the middle of the credibility continuum is instructional words that aim to help the reader accomplish something. That's what my current class is about—helping readers take some action out in the world.
If we are aiming toward credibility in our communication (a typical goal for sane people), we'll pull from the tools and building-block thoughts that are well-vetted with facts and citations from other credible sources. We'll also grab from the piles of words that invite further reflection and discussion. The more credible we want to be, the more we'll direct our typing hands away from the sales talk words, those dead-end, short-circuiting, dumpster words that deceive and misdirect as they are spoken or written.
Smart People Discuss for Credibility
It's how we sort most everything in life. By talking together about a book or a movie or a social problem or a new idea, we can often get to credible and truthful statements. Statements that we can believe and act on. But to get to that place of belief, we need to think critically about the pop-up slogans and pre-conceived notions that our ideology or brand-preference have placed in our brainpans. If we resist those clichés and talking points and instead look for words from our own experience, no matter how messy or awkward, we have a chance of getting to the truth.
Credible information withstands questions and discussion by smart people. Credibility is a way forward.
I am eager for our culture to develop a taste for credibility.

3 Ways to Strengthen Your Next Think-Piece
Leadership is an emotional action story
Most of my clients see themselves as thought-leaders. These clients really are leaders in their industries: their scientists and engineers labor to create new ways of approaching old markets even as they open new markets. A think-piece is an outward-facing story of their leadership in the light of a market problem or need.
Some clients assume their brochures and web copy can be repurposed into a think-piece. One of my tasks is to help them understand that a think-piece takes a position on a problem, spins out a story that shows the problem resolved in an emotionally satisfying way. That is typically a larger frame of reference than their current brochure or web copy.
Other clients want to say something without revealing anything. They worry about competition in their tight market. But they don't realize how a generous spirit is another kind of selling (especially in this sharing economy), and giving something-not-everything away is a mark of true leadership. But it's just too big a task (they say) and it will "only distract our scientists and engineers."
Sharp clients understand that thought-leadership presents a story that is immediately recognizable, universally understood (by their target audience) and easy to digest. They also understand that the best stories carry a useful thought with an emotional element.
My favorite thought-pieces typically have these three elements:
- Story: A story is threaded together with real people doing real things. There is emotion in a story—just like life—and real people talk in human rather than PR speak. Real people with real problems that unlock real emotion both before and after the solution appears.
- Visual: There's no question that words simply take too long for most of us. We still read, of course, but our short attention spans move us toward images and video. Some say visual is the primary way social media will present in coming years. We can put that visual bias to work today with words that paint pictures. That has always been the novelist's forte: creating scenes. That ability must find a home in today's think-pieces. Gone are the days when an interested audience member might happily read your brochure. Now you have to catch them when they are not looking or thinking about your product or industry. This is not an easy task, but the more visual the better. Visual also has the advantage of being immediately understood.
- Speak Human: Every discipline has its own secret words. Every industry uses lingo and code words to show they know their stuff as well as out of sheer laziness. It's just easier to say the same things as everyone else. Plus it's a badge of the tribe, so why wouldn't you? But insider language is inherently toxic for anyone outside. It's a buzz kill for an outsider looking in. Speaking human means words cleansed of jargon, words that can shine through a clear story.
The best think-pieces don't appear to be think-pieces at all. They can be read so effortlessly that we take every step with the author to the intended conclusion. And we find ourselves happy to be there, taking action with the hero.

How to be an Object of Pity
Hint: Grow a gray beard and present folding-money
Twice now young women have bought me coffee at the coffee shop on the campus where I teach. Just standing in line like everyone else—minding my own business—I pull out my $2 (cash-money) and the young woman in line behind me says, "Just put it on my card."
I resist: "No! I wouldn't hear of it," I say. "You can't. You must look after yourself with that—or at least spend it on your friends."
I went on in that vein, until the cashier reached past my $2 (cash-money) for the woman's card.
"She's not going to spend it all anyway," said the cashier, repeating what the woman said.
So. Free coffee. Thanks profusely offered.
Yesterday: same thing. I pull out my $2 (cash-money) and the young woman behind me says, "Just put it on my card."
I resisted. This time with less velocity. Free coffee. Thanks profusely offered.
I've puzzled over this phenomenon. What I know for certain is that the students here are some of the kindest people you'd ever hope to meet. And earnest. Looking around I also see that I have landed from the planet "old guy." Though I know even recent grads feel that way when revisiting their alma mater. Still, it's been a long time since I was an undergrad.
But I think it's the folding money that triggers the pity. What kind of a person uses cash-money on campus? Clearly someone in need and, frankly a bit out-of-touch. We all use cards.
You must not be from around here.
"Let me help you."
The other day a student reflected on her community-building work in our social media marketing class:
"It's also important to create a presence that encourages interaction," she said.
I can't get her comment out of my mind, partly because of getting two free coffees and partly because of the riddle of how to write in a slightly-unfinished, slightly-needy way. Like how Columbo conducted investigations: you pity the unkempt, needy fellow until you realize he is canny like a fox.
I've long puzzled over the magnetism of a dumb sketch. Stepping up to the white board and drawing something badly as a way of explaining an idea is a sure-fire way to invite others in. And they step up—not to correct, just to collaborate. Because it's sorta fun to draw badly and without the pressure to create art. And it can be fun to think together. And, like presenting folding-money in debit card economy, you clearly need help.
What are you willing to leave unfinished to draw others in?

4 Ways to Bring Creativity to Work
Hint: Creativity is not easily contained
I've been reworking priorities for the social media marketing and copywriting classes I start teach again in January. If these are like previous classes (I've not yet looked at the rosters), there will be quite a few English majors, juniors and seniors, many of which will be excellent writers. I teach the class in a sort of writing-forward way: we use writing as our primary tool for sorting client brand problems and opportunities. But over the last few years, the copywriting class has morphed from a focus on "copywriter" to "idea writer," which is a book by Teressa Iezzi that I've become very attached to. We use The Idea Writers as a text to help grow our understanding of our task.
My syllabus is mostly intact from last time I taught, but this time it I see four areas where additional emphases are needed. These four areas make it difficult for a student to jump from writing papers for an English professor to writing copy in the world of commerce:
- See: this has to do with trying to get out of your own brain-pan and jumping into someone else's life situation. Read more: How to Go Out of Your Mind
- Try: social media, in particular, rewards those who jump in and try stuff—all sorts of stuff. Trying stuff is a way of learning what your audience will listen to, and will respond to, along with understanding the limits of their attention. Yes there are some best practices and some favored tools, but social media is in constant motion.
- Measure: The goal really is to move the needle, that is, to get a response. Hits, page views—so many of these numbers are really only incidental to engagement. Real engagement looks like a comment or a share or some other solid action in the world. This is debatable, of course, and varies by audience and objective. But social media opens a window to see just what effect our words and ideas can have. Which can also be terribly discouraging for a writer with a message to deliver.
- Passion: This is the surprise for students, that they can channel a passion about a topic or tool or process into a project for a client. Many think passion and inspiration are ingredients only safely stirred into their own poetry or short stories. It turns out the more you run on inspiration, the more you run with inspiration.
Richard Bledsoe's interpretation of "Inspiration" is completely right: there is often a point where the idea carries the writer forward, eyes bulging, wishing only to stop.

It is fear that makes us kill our enemies.
It is fear that makes our enemies kill us.
It is fear that causes religious to preach judgement.
It is fear that makes them damn others.
It is fear that causes some to reject God.
It is fear that makes some serve Satan.
It is fear that inspires homophobia.
It is fear that punishes asylum seekers.
It is fear that makes us panic.
It is fear that makes us hate.
And when our fear is gone.

God's Light shows us the Truth.
And what are lies but buried fears.
Fear of the truth.
Fear of consequences.
That is why there must be truth before reconciliation.
Truth before forgiveness.
We cannot lie our way out of it.
We cannot lie to God.
Out of fear.
We have nothing to fear from God.
God loves us like a Father.
And God's Truths are self-evident.

Let Them Live.
What does it mean to love our enemies?
Victory does not mean destroying our enemies.
Nor does it mean sending them to hell.
It does not even mean marginalizing them.
We must let them live.
And pray that their enmity will cease.
So pray for your enemies.
That the Light from God will show them the fear that drives them, and us.
God will not destroy your enemies.
For they are His children also.
So live and let live.
Bury the hatchet.
And make peace at last.

The right-wing reactionary forces in our society are blocking any attempts to change the Status Quo.
A Status Quo which now sees the highest disparity between rich and poor in history.
Any incentives on climate change, tax reform, gun control, social welfare, foreign aid, asylum seekers etc. are being deliberately obstructed.
Google Foreign Aid for example and you are inundated with articles telling you that foreign aid is bad for everyone.
Try Gay Rights and you will encounter numerous articles by Fundamentalist Christians telling you that homosexuality is evil.
All these things, plus propaganda in the news media, are obstructing any positive changes.
And it is history now that Republicans have repeatedly blocked legislation on gun control in America.
So be more discriminating if you want things to change.
We are being brainwashed.

They are full of fears.
But they are afraid of showing their fears for fear of being called weak.
So they project bravado.

Listen to Him.
At the Transfiguration the voice from the cloud said, "'This is my son, the Beloved, listen to him.'" Mark 9:7 (NRSV)
But most Christians ignore what Jesus said and adhere to Tradition.
Jesus said of the Pharisees, "'You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!'" Mark 7:9 (NRSV)
Jesus also said, "'For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, "He has a demon"; the Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look. a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners!"'" Luke 7:33-35 (NRSV)
So it is clear that the Traditions of the Church may not reflect the teachings of Jesus.
And where there is a conflict the words of Jesus must always take precedence.

We fear that we are not worthy of love.
A massive inferiority complex makes us doubt that we are lovable.
But God's Love is constant.
God loves all His children.
To be human is to be worthy of love.
Even animals and trees are worthy of love.
And it is fear that inhibits our love.
Love God and love your neighbor.
Love even your enemies.
Because all are equally worthy of love.

From Fear to Love.
If I can do one thing in this world it is to change people's motivation from fear to love.
So much of what motivates us is fear:
Fear of poverty. Fear of rejection. Fear of ridicule. Fear of God.
So much of traditional Church doctrine is based on fear:
Fear of judgement. Fear of damnation. Fear of hell.
But God does not judge us for our mistakes.
He does not punish us.
So there can be no hell.
Once we realize this we lose our fear.
And we are secure in the Love of God.
God loves us like a Father.
And He requites our love for Him.
"We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 (NRSV)
If we overcome our fear we can show our love for everyone.

Think Pink.
Rock music and entertainment have sexualized young people to such an extent that they have lost sight of love.
So rather than hot pants and torn jeans we should think pink.
Pink represents love and centers us in the heart.
And it is in our heart that we find the love that will save us.
Casual sex leads to emptiness and suffering.
You will be burnt out by the time you are 30.
Better to think pink and find love in your heart.

I read a survey on the Internet which rated the countries of the world in order of happiness.
Finland was the world's happiest country.
And the top ten was dominated by Scandinavian countries.
The U.S.A. and the U.K. were 18th and 19th.
The unhappiest countries were mostly in Africa, particularly areas affected by war.
Australia was 10th behind Canada and New Zealand.
It is significant that the Scandinavian countries were the happiest because they have the world's best welfare systems so people feel secure.
Rich countries with poor social safety nets rated much lower on the list.

A Starfish.
When we talk about world poverty many people say that its not worth doing because it's just a drop in the ocean.
But I am reminded of the story of thousands of starfish washed up on the shore.
A man was walking along the beach picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea.
Another man saw him and yelled out, "What are you doing that for? There are thousands of them. It's just a meaningless gesture."
The man replied. holding up a starfish, "To this little fella it means all the world!"
It may be a drop in the ocean but if enough of us do it we become the ocean.

Set Them Free!
I read a story on the Internet about modern slavery in Thailand.
Climate change has forced farmers off the land and their debts have been bought up by unscrupulous companies which set them to work making bricks.
The debts of course just keep increasing and their children are expected to take over the debts when they die.
This is modern slavery.
Surely rich Westerners could find it in their hearts to pay off the debts and set them free.
Alternatively a campaign could be started on the Internet to to raise funds to pay off the debts.
It is only the hardness of our hearts that is stopping us from doing these things in our modern world.
I pray that we will open our hearts and set them free!

No Sports.
Sports are saturated with Satanism.
Sports men and women, coaches, commentators, journalists have sold their souls for fame and fortune and the perfection of their chosen field.
They practise black magic and Satanism and they try to addict you to their sports.
They will tempt you to gamble.
And before long you will be thinking about sports and forgetting your ideals.
Satanism in sports is one of the main determinants behind the decline of the Church.
People would rather think about their football team than their religion.
And they will go to a match on Sunday rather than a Mass.
So be aware that evil lurks in the background.
And many of your heroes have sold their souls.

Being Wrong.
Why do we insist on things even when we know they are wrong?
Fear of being wrong is a major motivation for injustice in our world.
We fear looking foolish.
We fear losing respect.
We fear losing our position in society or our job.
This was a major motivation for Jesus' crucifixion.
The Pharisees feared losing their position as the Spiritual Shepherds of Israel.
And the Romans feared insurrection because Jesus was being hailed as the Messiah - the King of the Jews.
So do not be afraid of being wrong.
God will still love you.
And you may even earn the respect of society.

Honest John.
"'He will turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. With the spirit and the power of Elijah he will go before him, to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for God.'" Luke 1:16.17 (NRSV)
This was the prophecy of the Archangel Gabriel to Zechariah the father of John the Baptist.
"And the crowds asked him, 'What then should we do?' In reply he said to them, 'Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.' Even tax-collectors came to him to be baptized, and they asked him, 'Teacher, what should we do?' He said to them. 'Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you.' Soldiers also asked him, 'And we, what should we do?' He said to them, 'Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusations, and be satisfied with your wages.'" Luke 3:10-14 (NRSV)
So John's message, which was to prepare the people for the coming Messiah, was one of basic honesty and charity.
People were not to hoard things for themselves which could be shared with others who had nothing.
And people in positions of authority were not to extort money from others by stealth or by threats.
John's message was one of equality and integrity.
Obvious qualities which could be emulated today.
We have lost sight of basic honesty in this winner-take-all world.
Money and profit justify anything.
All's fair in love and war.
The end justifies the means.
And corruption is in the interests of the shareholders.
We are living in a time of intense darkness.
Darkness which hides greed, corruption, and murder.
The time has come to turn to the Light.
To expose the evil practices of the Fathers.
And to turn their hearts to their children - their workers and their employees.
Not to treat them as the enemy but to love and provide for them as if they were their own children.
We must abandon all notions of superiority.
We must reject all dishonest practices.
We must overcome our fears.
And open our hearts to God and to the people.

"But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves 'This is the heir, let us kill him and get his inheritance.'" Matthew 21:38 (NRSV)
The impulse to kill is inspired by jealousy.
And jealousy is fear.

What the Right-Wing Plutocrats do is black and white.
Following the example of Satanic rock musicians they whitewash themselves and blacken their enemies.
Following the example of Ronald Reagan they manipulate both Satanism and Religion.
They use the backwards magic of Satanism to scapegoat innocent gays and Hippies and Left-Wing Politicians.
And they use the Holy Spirit to hide their guilt by enlisting the blessing of their political allies in Religion.
But while people allow their perceptions to be manipulated in this way the Plutocrats will not desist from their evil practices.
Light comes from God.
And it is by His Light that we will see.
See that our perceptions are reversed.
And the guilty and the corrupt rule our world.

No One Can See Us.
"Then he said to me, 'Mortal, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each in his room of images? For they say, "The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land."'" Ezekiel 8:12 (NRSV)
And so it is today - the Fathers plot and plan against the people and the Will of God.
"The shepherds also have no understanding,
they have all turned to their own way.
to their own gain, one and all." Isaiah 56:11 (NRSV)
So now they plot to enslave the people for their own gain.
They say, "No one can see us, God has forsaken the Earth."
And they conspire with evil in the darkness.
Corporate Plutocrats and Satanic rock stars.
Subliminal propaganda and black magic.
Controlling the unconscious for power and profit.
Each in his chamber of images.
Hidden from sight.
But God can see them.
He knows what they are doing.
And he wishes to bring His Light and His Salvation.
Not to destroy but to Redeem.
Not to kill but to restore to Life!
So pray for the Salvation of the guilty and of the Fathers.
Pray for an end to their evil machinations.
Pray for them to overcome their fears.
And have faith in the Living God!
For He will provide.
And open their hearts.

Satan Rules O.K..
The society created by the rule of the rich and the dominance of the darkness is not O.K..
We are powerless.
We are helpless.
We are distracted.
We are deceived.
We are poisoned.
We are wrecked.
The negative messages hidden in rock music and popular entertainment sabotage our happiness and kill any spiritual aspirations.
Better to turn them off and pray for deliverance.

The Kingdom of Heaven.
"'From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.'" Matthew 11:12 (NRSV)
This is the way that the world responds to the Good News - to take it by force and violence.
But what is force and violence but fear.
Fear of poverty, fear of starvation, fear of work.....
This is the motivation of the rich and powerful.
They think that they can win by force and violence.
And it was with force and violence that they crucified Jesus.
But death is not the end.
On the third day God resurrected Jesus and raised him to Eternal Life!

The philosophy of God is gentleness.
Jesus said, "'Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart'" Matthew 11:29 (NRSV)
God is all those things that the world is not.
God is considerate.
God is reliable.
God requites our love.
God listens.
God helps.
If we can reflect these things then we are creating the Kingdom of God on Earth.
This is how we make a difference.

The philosophy of the corporate plutocrats who rule our world is brutality.
They rule by violence, threat, and fear.
They are domineering.
They are corrupt.
They have no faith in God.
And they condone crime.
Our governments obey them.
Our armies advance them.
And our police protect them.
No one challenges their absolute power.
And so we are powerless to stop them.

Come Out!
Jesus said, "'I have chosen you out of the world.'" John 5:19 (NRSV)
What does it mean to come out of the world?
Fundamentalists will tell you it's all about sex - coming out of the Whore of Babylon and coming out of Sodom.
This betrays their deep-seated phobias about sex.
And it is wrong!
Coming out of the world means denouncing the ways of the world - i.e. the brutality and materialism of our corporate masters, the worship of money and status, the corruption and evil of the world.
God calls us out of this dog-eat-dog world of violence and domination in order to teach us the ways of Love.
And then He sends us back into the world as agents of Love.

My experience of people who talk about service all the time is that they want servants.
They mix up ministry with mastery and counsel with command.
They claim that they are serving when they are self-serving.
And they reinforce their own power and position.
Rather than serving I would prefer to love.
Then there can be no confusion.
We are here to love.
Not to lord it over others.

What is Good?
To bring life where there is none.
To bring joy where there is sorrow.
To bring light where there is darkness.
To bring peace where there is conflict.
To bring mercy where there is judgement.
To bring forgiveness where there is punishment.
To bring charity where there is fear.
To bring compassion where hearts are hard.
But most of all:
To bring Love.

Which God?
When we are young we are presented with various versions of God.
The Orthodox God, the Fundamentalist God, the Protestant God, the Catholic God, the Pentecostal God, the Islamic God, the Hindu God, the Buddhist God, the Aboriginal God.....
Most of these Gods are judgemental and punitive.
But intuitively we know that God is benevolent.
So which God do we choose?
The only way to know God is through direct experience.
Once we have made contact with God we find that most of the versions of God that we have been taught are false.
God does not judge us.
God does not punish us.
God forgives us.
His mercy is infinite.
And His goodness is ubiquitous.
God is reliable.
God is trustworthy.
God is truthful.
But most of all:
God is Love.

What's Happening.
What's happening is this:
Adolescent wannabes want fame and fortune so much that they sell their souls for it.
"Money for nothing and your chicks for free."
Then they do the dirty on their fans.
"Dirty deeds done dirt cheap."
They entice their fans to sin and transgress in the hope that they will go to hell forever.
They push the negatives and stab them in the back.
They sell death - death to God.
Depression, degradation, drugs and suicide.
This is what lies beneath the mask of modern rock music.
So don't take everything at face value.
Evil lurks beneath the surface.

The Truth.
Despite the fact that some try to claim that everything is relative there is a truth.
There are facts.
And one of those facts is that rock stars sell their souls to the devil and poison and curse us continually.
Another fact is that Ronald Reagan and Generation X used violence and evil to reconstruct the Baby-Boomers.
Hate and intimidation forced our generation to abandon their quest to save the world.
So, far from the media propaganda that Reagan and X are heroes, they are evil people and their legacy is evil.
This is the truth.
And history will vindicate the truth.

Locally Advanced CSCC: Post-Immunotherapy Strategies
Michael R. Migden, MD
Published Online:Nov 05, 2018
Michael R. Migden, MD, shares insight regarding the case of a 69-year-old man who presents with locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and undergoes treatment with cemiplimab.
Immunotherapy Potential in Locally Advanced CSCC
Immunotherapy Potential in Locally Advanced CSCC
Michael R. Migden, MD: It's not an easy decision about what to do next when immunotherapy fails. I had a patient who had some apparent pseudoprogression, but that was followed by [a] significant decrease in the size of their lesion, and then we thought things might be heading [toward] complete response. On 1 side of the original target lesion area, there was a new tumor growing, and it was found to be squamous cell. That tumor, for unknown reasons, wasn't seeming to respond. But the fact that the patient had a much smaller tumor than when he first saw me and when treatment was first initiated meant that we could go back to the head and neck surgeons, and they had a tumor that was much more resectable with a higher confidence of painting clear margins.
In terms of patients who progress with limited options, there's not a lot right now. The question is, in the future, could combination therapy and anti-PD-1 [anti-programmed cell death protein 1] plus something else actually be effective in cases where an anti-PD-1 alone may not be? That's an area of potential investigation. If we think about returning patients to old therapy, which would be systemic therapy of chemotherapy or the EGFR-targeted agent category, you have to think about the lower tolerability, the higher rate of adverse events, whether the patient can stay on that therapy, and the lower response rate typically found in those therapies compared to immunotherapy.
The prognosis of people who have a complete response on immunotherapy such as anti-PD-1, cemiplimab, or others, is good. But the data are limited. We have case reports where people have had durable responses. We had the initial data from the phase II trial. We don't have years and years of follow-up at this point in terms of any sizable population, so it remains to be seen what the true prognosis is. I'm very encouraged by the results that I've seen so far in that I have multiple patients who have had complete response. Many are off therapy now, and they still have no evidence of any disease, so that's very encouraging. That's not definitive. Until we have longer interval follow-up data from these trials, it's hard to say with certainty.
The recommended follow-up after treatment concludes is basically standard-of-care surveillance if the patient has had a complete response. If they hadn't had a complete response, it would be standard of care follow-up to check on the status of their tumor. I'm thinking in terms of checking once a month for some period of time and then reducing the frequency down to every 2 to 3 months. If the patient has a complete response and they're a couple of years out, we can spread that to 4 to 6 months. That's the interval that I think of in terms of follow-up. Of course, it depends on how complete their response was and how far out they've been.
Transcript edited for clarity.
A 69-Year-Old Man With Advanced CSCC
- History and physical exam
- An otherwise healthy, 69-year-old male, fair skinned, retired construction worker, widow

Cabernet Franc 2016
Dyer Wines' Cabernet Franc Wine
Cabernet Franc has been an important varietal at Dyer Vineyard since our first vintage. It flourishes in our volcanic Diamond Mountain soils making a wine that is both mineral, aromatic and lush with softer tannins than the famed tannins of Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc has been critical in our blends and, since 2013, we have bottled a small amount of 100% Cabernet Franc. 2016 Dyer Vineyard Cabernet Franc is our current vintage.
2 barrels made.
What one critic says…
Dyer Vineyard 2016 Cabernet Franc opens to fragrant red cherries, red-currents, black berries and roses plus hints of forest floor, fungi, black olives and pencil shavings. Med bodied and elegant in the mouth, the palate reveals a beautiful, quiet intensity and long, earth-laced finish. 94+— Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

High-tone, floral notes of violets and graphite layer with savory notes of sage and rosemary. A full bodied Cabernet Franc, structured and lush.— Bill & Dawnine Dyer

I have always admired the Kardashian family, it reminds me of my sisters, the Modisakeng girls every meeting occasion, especially if we havent seen each other for a while, its dress to kill time. We go all out to be the best dressed, we dont mind even going over the top or being OTT, we love it. When we meet we check each other out with smiles in our faces, approving of each others outfits, we will spend the first hour just admiring each other and finding where what was bought where and how we can get it. My mom enjoys this, and coaches each of us separatly, from hair to the shoes..
My favourite lady is Kim Kardashian, every new purchase i make whether its shoes, a dress or pants, before i go to the mall i need to google Kim's latest oufits. If you think i am obsessed about Kim Kardashian, you got it wrong my younger sister Sessie, never goes out for a function without wearing something similar to Kim's published outfits. She has a gallery of all her outfits…Any oufit idea's, she goes to her gallery.
Then we heard that Kim Kardashian is getting married, we all looked forward to each and every detail about her wedding, from the decor to her shoe. I even lost count of all the dresses she wore in one day, i think its about three. I loved everything about her wedding, especially her veil and dresses. Now that something i will be looking for, a veil with diamantes and a fish tail dress. My mom will showly approve of the shape of the dress, anything fish tail, she likes. Definetly Kim is a lady with swagga. Now all the family is talking about is my wedding, and we looking for ideas from our fashion icon, Kim Kardashian.
I just thought i would share this video and pics i found on You Tube and the net.

Video: There are scant few plot details describing just what sort of adventure Marvel's Inhumans will get into in their upcoming live-action series. But this first trailer for the Inhumans — voiceover only, alas — suggests that Maximus won't be hiding his disdain for his brother and king Black Bolt's approach to politics.
That's definitely Maximus, played by Iwan "Ramsay Bolton" Rheon and brother to Inhuman king Black Bolt, who asks, "Are we supposed to follow our king and remain as silent as he is?" He's also the one who dismisses the idea that this talk is treason and betrayal, saying, "What I'm talking about is freedom. Freedom for all Inhumans."
Seeing as Maximus will have to oust his brother from the throne — something he's done on more than one occasion in the comics — to earn this freedom, seems like his plan is likely going to be chock full of treason and betrayal. too.
Still. if Maximus' political agenda also includes doing something about Medusa's wig, he has our support.

For so long holding the bars
To his cage, avoiding the feelings
That keep him sequestered
His knuckles white with a death grip
He stares out beyond the edge
Watching as others soar
If he could but turn around and see
The only part of the cage that exists
Is the part that he's holding…
Holding the Bars
For so long holding the bars

OMG, what can I say, Don' t know who you were thinking of when you wrote this piece but it fits and it hurts to face it, but it 's a starting place for this new journey I'm on. Thank you for being you and the catalyst I so desperately needed! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Barn
Thank you, Barney! Yes, I wrote with one man in mind and then last night saw that it applies to every man I know now on an emotional level. So where am I also holding myself back, given that all of you are my mirror?
Ya know, I think it's part of the human condition, when we buy into the lies of the enemy and slowly imprison ourselves. For me, unlearning the lies is taking time, slowly replacing it with Truth from my Creator. Head knowledge is one thing , believing in your heart is quite another…. And then there is learning to trust, it all fits together…
Thank you for this insight, Barney! ❤
Wow, this is an instant classic! Very powerful…love the surprising twist at the end! ❤
Thank you, Michael! Interesting that while the caged lion was my muse, I now see this also applies to every man I know on an emotional level at this time… And since others are my mirror, I now get to see where I am doing the same to me 😉
Happy Birthday, Leo! 😘
You often speak of mirrors…I think you have explained it a bit to me before. Thinking about it literally, it seems that a mirror only reflects what is before it. If we lead with a mask or shadow-driven persona…that is what the mirror shows us. Only we know what is within us. I'm sure there is more context around this concept that I'm not well versed in 🙂 Thank you sweet, sensual Tiffany <3:-*
Michael, you have a good point. The mirror I am referring to here is spiritual.
In my understanding of The Universe, all beings are connected. I envision a large tapestry that weaves together similar threads, yet that has varying images. As such, each being reflects from within itself characteristics that can be seen in others. That reflection is what I refer to as a mirror. So the sacred mirror reflects to us all that is seen (Persona) and unseen (Shadow). The post I recently did about self-punishment was penned after I had a friend share how he was shaming himself for his sexual needs. It was such a strong example of self-punishment that I then began to see where just about every person I spoke with the next day was sharing their self-punishment habits. It was then "my job" to look within my shadow and see where I was punishing myself. So, basically, when I see a pattern emerge, it gives me pause to seek where I am doing the same to myself. Based on this and my current pattern with being attracted to and or involved with men who are (in various ways) unavailable to me, where am I being unavailable to myself and to others? So the mirror is not a physical one. I believe I've seen Jung quotes regarding such and I will see if I can find one. Thank you, Michael, for being you! It helps me to be me 😘
Michael, once again you have tipped me in the direction I needed to go. I was debating my next post and you have been my compass (unknowingly, perhaps). While I do not see a clear & concise statement to where Jung states that others are our mirrors, it is inferred w/ the following article (it is long, some parts I did skim). I have done the technique where in low light I stared at another person's face, I also saw some interesting things…as described in the article. Thank You, again Michael for being you! =-*
Wow, this is one heck of a link you provided. I think my head is about to explode!😝 I will have to take this in over a couple reads. I did pick up distinctions in looking into actual mirrors vs. other people…believe it was near the image where two chairs are facing and he explores the different reaction and projections of introverts/extroverts when staring into someone else. Then, the whole archetype exploration was fascinating too. Great reference…thanks for sharing your research 😘
This is the post you helped to inspire… As mentioned, in researching your question I saw where Jung recommended following our fears which was what I had been seeing myself doing repeatedly in my recovery of freedom (sometimes by degrees). So I'm grateful for the tip! 😉

Top 500 Most Influential Lit Magazines Ranked
So it is finally here. The most influential literature magazines.
Let us know if we missed your magazine, and sorry if you don't like your place. This is by no means an exact science. I just wanted to let all you hard workers see that you matter.
This will be released over weeks. Thanks for coming and reading! Hope we can help you find a magazine for you.
So it is finally here. The most influential literature magazines. So I guess if you are looking where to submit, or magazines you might emulate, you can use this as a guide. We are using it primarily to see how we can be successful, and what it really takes. A couple of takeaways: a)Having active social media really helps. b) Having a print only magazine or one supported by a university does not really have a huge impact on the popularity of a magazine.
1) These are all magazines in English
2) Magazines may be a single or multiple genres. Glossy magazines that publish fiction or poetry have been included, as well as magazines that only publish poetry.
3) The secret algorithm used to measure "influence" is not perfect, but it is better than nothing.
4) There is no differentiation between online and print magazines, though influence is mostly measured in internet presense rather than on-the-shelves in book stores if that still exists.
5) The ranking will be released over a period of weeks, 25-50 titles at a time.
6) Magazines may be defunct or on hiatus, but still have some important presence.
7) If you think we missed something, let us know.
So without further ado, here are 500-450:

We fell in love with David Babaii for his natural, paraben-free WildAid products. He's also the man responsible for Angelina Jolie's July cover of Vanity Fair, you know the one–we all ran into our salons saying, "I'll have what she's having." We learned in yesterday's NY Post that David actually got his start in the hotel industry, working for the big boys–Peninsula and the Ritz. David realized he wanted to be a stylist on vacation in Paris. That type of inspiration and insight is the exact reason we love to travel as much as we do.

- The plugs of cord is push-pull type with locking mechanism, very robust.
The one end of the cord is L shape, while the other end is straight.
There are three lengths for your choice:
- 25cm: it fits well when KineMON is attached to TERRA by rotation mount;
- 60cm: It fits well when shoulder application, or KineMON is located on KineKIT;
- 120cm: It fits for situation of Gimbal, or other cases.

Real-life and all that: for one reason and another a few of our pilots are flying very irregularly; can I ask what (if any) inactivity-checking is done on pilots' accounts? I imagine that it would take one of two forms: either they don't login for X days or they don't file a flight for X days; I presume the former is the case to clear-out truly "dormant" accounts, and that providing pilots login every month or two to check their messages, etc, they are "safe".

Re: Pilot Inactivity Period?
If a pilot does not log in for 90 days there account will be purged. All they need to do is log into the website once a month to prevent this from happening.
Re: Pilot Inactivity Period?
Thanks Joe. I was worried that some of our "keen but busy" pilots might get "ditched" simply by not putting any flying hours in for a few months.

Accepting Death When There Is Absolutely No Burial Or Memorial Service
Kali Chaudas, in English "the Dark (evil) fourteenth," is a Hindu holiday that celebrates the day that the goddess Kali killed the wicked demon Raktavija. It really is generally the day to abolish laziness and evil which create hell in our life and shine light on their life. However, there is more than one side

You are here: What's On / Date
Friday 4 March 2016 - Sunday 7 August 2016
The Shrine of Remembrance marks the centenary of one of Australia's most tragic episodes on the Western Front during the First World War with this exhibition. The exhibition recounts the story of Australia's military operations during the Somme offensive of 1916 which centered on the small village of Poziѐres and the nearby Mouquet farm.
In a series of bloody actions between 23 July and 3 September 1916. the 1st, 2nd and 4th Australian Divisions succeeded in capturing their objectives but at a truly terrible cost: 23,000 casualties, including 6,800 men killed. The men distinguished themselves at places which have become bywords for Australian sacrifice – Gibraltar, the Windmill and Mouquet Farm. Official historian Charles Bean would movingly describe Poziѐres ridge as being 'more densely sown with Australian sacrifice than any other place on Earth.'
The story of Poziѐres is brought to life with the exhibition of photographs and works of art reproduced and on loan from the Australian War Memorial and Imperial War Museum and with the display of original artefacts on loan from private collectors and Victorian families.

Amy Jordan is 18yrs old and she's a virgin. It's not like she's a prude, saving herself for marriage, but she want her first time to be w someone who cares about her needs too. All the guys she's dated up to now have been selfish jerks.
Yesterday her mom told her that an old friend's son from college is coming to stay with them while he looks for a place to live. He's going to start teaching at Lakewood College. It'll be Callen's first teaching job. He doesn't care that it's at a community college. He's glad to have found a job. Apparently, Mr. Hidel broke his leg, arm in a car accident and isn't able to teach. Callen will stay in Brady's room. Amy's mom, Saundra told her he'll be her Friday. So, she expects Amy to help her clean the house, get it company ready. Amy never minds helping her mom out. Since Amy's dad died in the line of duty 5yrs ago, it's been hard on all of them. Four guys robbed a bank, Dan killed 2, one of them got a shot off, hit his carotid artery. The other two robbers were shot as payback for Dan. They miss him everyday. Brady moved away for a while, but he's back in the area now. He lives 25mins away.
Amy was on the phone w her best friend, Claudia when the doorbell rang. Letting her friend go, she answered the door. Callen introduced himself, Amy invited him in, helped carry his bags upstairs. Sorry mom is at the store getting a few odds and ends. She'll be home soon. Amy knew her mom would be mad if she didn't text telling her their guest arrived, so she simply typed, he's here! Saundra replied, at the light, be home soon. After putting his stuff down, Amy gave him the nickel tour. When they were back in the kitchen they had a glass of tea together, talked. Callen asked Amy what classes she's most excited about taking, if she wants to stop at an associates degree? Hmm, I love books, so Literature, Writing, then she said I also love Science, Architecture, cooking, baking!!! Callen smiled, ahh! Typical freshmen! They were laughing when Saundra came through the door. She said, I'm glad to see you two getting along already! Callen and Amy helped bring in the groceries, Amy put them away so her mom and callen could get acquainted. They talked and Amy started dinner; porkchops, corn on the cob, fried potatoes, sweet tea and strawberry shortcake for dessert! Dang Amy! You could be a chef! Supper was delicious!!! My mouth is watering for dessert! Did mom tell you it's my hands down all time favorite?! Saundra said yes she did, smiling! After they had dessert, Callen did the dishes, Amy dried, put them away. Saundra watched them, smiled again, thought they'd make a cute couple. Callen is 6'2, sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, tan, bright smile, dimples, he's got an athletes physique. Amy played volleyball since Jr high. She led her team to state numerous times!
After the dishes were done, Amy asked Callen if he wanted to explore the town with her tomorrow? He took her hand, kissed it like the men in famous books did, said, it would be a delight! Amy blushed, said goodnight Casanova!

Couple charged with child abuse, mother allegedly slapped girl over messy home
Information gathered from the Judiciary of Guam website: www.guamcourts.org. If you believe you have been the victim of family violence, contact police as soon as possible.
Police were alerted to an alleged child abuse case after an elementary school student reported that his mother and his mother's boyfriend hit him and his sister, according to magistrate's complaints filed recently in Superior Court of Guam.
Ivana Josefa Santos Mendiola's 11-year-old son told police that his older sister got in trouble because the house was messy, court documents state. He said Mendiola took his 12-year-old sister into a room and closed the door after which he heard slapping noises the coming from the room, documents state.
The boy also said he heard his sister crying out loudly, and when he went into the room he alleged Mendiola was pulling the girl's hair and had slapped the girl in the neck, the court complaint states.
The girl told police that she's the oldest of seven and takes care of her siblings, including cooking for them, documents state. The 12-year-old reportedly told authorities that she eats last or sometimes doesn't eat at all if there isn't enough food, court documents state.
Mendiola reportedly told the girl to clean the house and the girl tried to put her brother to sleep before continuing to clean, but got in trouble, documents state.
Mendiola allegedly used a slipper to strike the girl's left calf three times last week, documents state. Officers noted the girl had a two-and-a-half-inch bruise and slight swelling on her calf where she was reportedly hit, according to the magistrate's complaint.
Mendiola's boyfriend, Mario Espinosa, is also accused of slapping the 11-year-old boy's face, court documents state.
School officials told police after noticing scratches and redness on the boy's face, documents state. The boy said when he got home from school one day last week, Espinosa allegedly grabbed the boy's right arm and slapped the right side of his face twice, court papers state.
Espinosa told the boy to go inside the room, where Espinosa allegedly punched the 11-year-old's rib, court documents state.
Officers saw there were abrasions on the boy's face and slight bruising on the child's ribs, where he was reportedly hit, according to the magistrate's complaint.
Espinosa and Mendiola were each charged with misdemeanor child abuse. Mendiola was also charged with two counts of family violence as misdemeanors.

With Fiona and Charles' wedding day just around the corner, we wanted to share a few images from their Belgravia engagement shoot – showcasing the three of them. No that's not a typo; it was our pleasure to hang out with Fiona, Charles and Charles' beloved classic car!
Fiona and Charles had their first date at the Thomas Cubitt pub, so we used this as a nice starting point to their engagement shoot. Having recently moved out of London after many years, it was fitting to capture some photographs of the two of them in and around an area that held happy memories for them. Not to mention, a part of London that is incredibly easy on the eye, and the camera.
We stopped for a coffee at the pretty Peggy Porschen and took the car for a little spin, exploring some of the local mews. Love a good London engagement shoot!
Hope you enjoy these photos, and we can't wait for the big day and to share a few photos from that next week – come back to see more soon!
Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with photos from Fiona and Charles' wedding day!

Forum Rules 07/06/2016Introduction The Squad Team reserves the right to edit, update, add and remove rules at any time. Applicable rules extend to the PM system. Your PMs are private, but the Squad Team may be informed about unacceptable PM content by the receiving party. Section I: Posting Rules §1 Show Respect This community can only work if we all respect each other. To that end, it is imperative that any time you engage with another user, either directly or indirectly, you show them respect with the content of your post. In particular refrain from flaming, insulting, abusing, taunting, racism, and other similar types of actions towards other forum users. §2 Attitude & Behavior Poor attitude and behavior are the most common ways a negative / unsafe environment is created and perpetuated. As such that kind of behavior will not be allowed on these forums. Please be mindful of this rule when posting personal positions and opinions regarding topics which could be considered contentious in nature. As a rule of thumb, keep your posts civil in nature, and refrain from making posts that are likely to incite arguments and create a negative environment. As a privately hosted web forum we reserve the right to maintain an environment that we are happy the majority of our players are comfortable with. §3 Swearing While we will not strictly moderate every little swear that occurs, please try to avoid excessive bad language. The moderation reserves the right to remove rants and unsuitable content at any time. §4 Illegal Topics
Prohibited topics include, but are not limited to: Piracy, drugs (including cannabis), pornography, religion, racism, sexism, homo/trans -phobic content, videos and images showing violent death or serious injury, 'spam threads', hacking & griefing (endorsement thereof), religion, politics, etc. Prohibition may be suspended for some threads if they are found to be suitable by the Moderation (such as scientific debate).
If there is doubt, the Moderation Team can decide whether a topic is considered illegal. §5 Attitude towards Squad and the Development Team
As per §1 and §2, keep in mind to be respectful and reasonable, not only towards all users of the forum, but also towards the Squad Team and towards any ideas and content and the game itself. Criticism is welcome, but if it is not constructive and/or if it is offensive, the Moderation may need to step in. Please refrain from posting if you are upset, angry or drunk, or you may be punished for things you wouldn't have otherwise written, which is not in anyone's interest. §6 Language & Legibility
Please post only in English. Non-English content (including non-legible content) may be removed. If you see someone posting in another language because s/he apparently does not speak English, please report their post - if you can, you may reply in their language to explain their question, but please do translate their and your message so it can be reviewed by the Moderation. 'Hiding' insults in non-English posts will be punished harshly. Posts written largely in 'leetspeak' or full of spelling / grammatical errors may be treated like non-English content. This rule does not extend to PMs. §7 Forum structure & Search
Please ensure when posting a new thread, that the thread is located inside the correct forum section. Check all forum section titles to judge where your thread should belong. Threads created in the wrong forum section will be moved or deleted.
Before posting a new thread, please make use of the forum search to find older threads about the same topic. In doubt, it is recommended to rather post in an existing thread, unless that thread is years out of date. However, do not bump old threads without adding a new question / answer / insight that wasn't in that thread before - use common sense. §8 Thread Titles
Please name your thread appropriately; the subject title should sum up / explain the content in the thread. If you fail to name your thread properly (such as 'Hey!' or 'Check this out!' or 'Help!'), we will either rename or lock the topic. Repeated offense may lead to infractions. The practice of using CAPITALS only in your thread title is not allowed and will be edited or the thread will simply be deleted. Strange or abnormal Unicode characters should be excluded from thread titles for the sake of being distracting and unnecessary.
§9 Thread Capitalization
Please ensure that your post is not in all CAPITALS, as this is not allowed. Any threads posted in all caps will subsequently be removed from the forum. Repeated offenses may lead to infractions against your account. This practice is not approved or accepted here.
§10 Images in posts
When posting images, mind the following restrictions:
.gifs will be allowed and may be removed by Staff if deemed necessary.
Maximum size for images is 1280x1024.
Do not include more than ~1 large image per paragraph of text, unless in image collection / announcement threads. Link to further images.
Consider posting thumbnails. You may post a few more images per post if they are reasonably small, the details are for the Moderation to judge. §11 The use of BBCode
It is allowed to use the BBCode in your posts. Over usage is not allowed. You may use the Bold in a reasonable manner but not for the whole text body. You may use the size feature but in a limited reasonable manner. You may not use any of the additional fonts at all. Color may be used to high light a point but again, not for the whole text body. Moderators will be watching for misuse and will edit when required without giving notice. Continued disregard for this rule will result in Moderator action in the form of warnings. §12 Complaints of Server/Admin Abuse Reports of server/admin abuse will not be posted publicly. All reports concerning this type of behavior should be place in the appropriate sub-forum. http://forums.joinsquad.com/forum/241-report-server-admin-abuse/ All posts made outside of this area will be be removed. Section II: Reporting & Moderation §1 Reporting Posts
There is a Post Report system in place. If you notice a post that violates forum rules, simply use the exclamation mark icon below the users avatar image to send a report to the Moderation. We will then review this post. Your report will not be made public and cannot be linked to your person by anyone outside of the Squad Team. You will not be punished for using the Report system even if the report was false, unless you repeatedly abuse the system to spam it.
Do not 'report' posts by replying directly in public to them. In case of spambots, this prompts them to respond in turn, spamming the forum further. This also fuels flame wars and arguments. §2 Reporting Moderators
Moderators are subject to the same forum rules (and some additional rules / exceptions). If you think that a Moderator has treated you unfairly or is otherwise breaking forum rules, please PM the Lead Moderator or any Administrator. Do not accuse Moderators in public, the Squad Team will treat every complaint seriously and it is in our interest to discipline or remove Moderators who are known to break forum rules. §3 Respect Squad Team members and Moderators
Do not ignore or argue against Admin, Moderator or Dev instructions on the forum. If you have a complaint, as per §2, please inform the Team in private. You are expected to follow orders given by the Moderation, Administration and Development Team, and it is necessary for smooth running of the forum to respect their decisions. Being stubborn or ignoring warnings will lead to harsher punishments - however, we do not tolerate Moderator / Admin abuse of power / privileges, so do not hesitate to inform other Team members if you feel treated unfairly. §4 Bans and multiple accounts
If your account is temporarily or permanently banned, do NOT create another account. Bypassing a ban will result in further action, and a permanent ban of all of your accounts.
You are not allowed to have more than one account for any reason. If you share an internet connection with another user who has their own account, it might happen that this account is incorrectly identified as a secondary account - please get in touch with the Moderation or Administration to resolve such issues.

Combat Rescue
Sitting Duck posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsHey! Thanks for the updates on the june recap. A lot of good stuff there. The empowerment of anyone to revive was less to my liking though, SLs already have to command people to switch to medic, this will make the medic role less useful. I find it likely that squads will make due with a single medic. A suggestion would be to scrap this, and in stead empower riflemen to rescue fallen teammates by pulling them to safety, where a medic could take care of them. In stead of creating conflict between roles, this would increase the level of cooperation and teamplay - which is what the game is all about. It would fit in nicely with your overhaul of the suppressive fire system too, given that a combat rescue very well might require a level of covering fire. Thanks for all the good stuff this far! -Sitting Duck
Respawn bug when getting patched up x2 - SL role
alexan92 posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsHello, I´ve noticed this bug occour x amount of times & I can recreate the bug when I get revived by medic x amount of times. 1. Get shot 2. Get patched up by medic 2.1 get shot 3. Get patched up by medic a second time 4. Die again = see the bug "eventhough I´m dead the compass is still visible" makeing it impossible to spawn since the game thinks i´m alive eventough I´m dead. See attachment Bug Anyone else has been affected by this bug? This still occurs 24/9 -18. Any plan of getting it patched?
Why can't we bandage inside a Vehicle?
Gnarleus posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsTo me this just makes sense, allowing players to bandage inside a vehicle, it's certainly realistic. The only thing I would add to this if implemented : make the time to bandage a little longer since you are inside a fairly cramped space, it would be slightly more difficult to move around, and you might be bleeding all over your teammates so naturally it would take a bit longer. *make the time to bandage a little longer This part of my suggestion isn't important and was more comical than anything. What is most important here is that we can bandage inside a vehicle and medics having the ability to heal inside a vehicle as well.
Bandage doesn't completely stop bleeding
Maamyyra posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsTo make Medics more needed, regular soldier should only have some tourniquet like CAT or similar. Also the tourniquets will not completely stop the bleeding so you will still need to find a medic so he can use his bandages to stop the bleed. If grunt bandages remain, if you bleed out, medic should always use the bandages of the fallen before using his own.
Ammo Crate - limit ammo, explosives, smoke, bandages
JJarrowGaming posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsIn keeping with the realistic philosophy of the game, I request that ammo crates have a limited number of ammunition, explosives, smokes, bandages, etc... If a team wants multiple ammo crates, that is ok as it makes sense but there should be a limit to the contents. The limit should be determined by the FOB, not the ammo crate so as to prevent people from exploiting this by simply deploying multiple crates. Multiple crates would simply draw down the FOB ammo crate content counter for each item type as they are consumed. The behavior should be that the only way to replenish the ammo crates would be from a logi supply run. When a logi drops off supplies, the ammo crate content counter for the FOB should reset to full with no resource cost and of course, no overstocking from multiple logi supply runs. As to how many should be allowed of each type... I'm not sure. That would be best turned over to the community to discuss.
Rpg class when shot and bleeding fix.
SILENTMP posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsWhen I am shot while holding rpg or AT4 and I go heal myself it takes forever for it to transition to bandage. Now in real life I would just throw down my rpg at4 to heal myself and I certainly wouldn't take my time. Could this be fixed?
