MJF's HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, testing, and treatment programs are designed to help stop the spread of the disease, and improve the quality of life for the individuals and families who are affected.
Through a partnership with Los Angeles based AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the nation's largest provider of HIV/AIDS medical care, Magic Johnson Foundation established five full service HIV/AIDS Treatment Centers in economically challenged, minority communities nationwide. The clinics provide cutting-edge medicine, lifesaving anti-retroviral therapy, testing, counseling, and ongoing disease management healthcare to more than 1,200 people each year. Patients have access to free or low-cost high quality healthcare, specialists, medications, and other services they need to live healthy lives. High quality care is available for all people living with HIV/AIDS regardless of their ability to pay for services. Centers are located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and Jacksonville.
Additional HIV/AIDS programs include: a Community Grants Program (hyperlink to grants process—text below) that provides program development support to non-profit grassroots organizations with a focus on providing services that address the health, educational and social needs of those residing in inner-city communities.
Each year, MJF hosts a series of free HIV/AIDS testing events to generate increased awareness and health education. The Foundation's HIV/AIDS initiative strives to make HIV testing routine and ultimately reduce the number of new HIV infections. Participants receive free testing, information, prevention tips, supplies, counseling, and referrals for treatment for those who test positive. Since inception, the Foundation has tested nearly 30,000 individuals. In the past year, over 3,000 individuals were tested, and of those, more than 1,000 tested positive for the disease.

Simplehuman semi-round sensor bin review
4.5 out of 5
Looks great, superbly made, electric opening, smart sensor
Six batteries needed, quite expensive
"A bin? You're going to review a bin?" they asked, with a mixture of surprise and despair. Our reply came quickly, perhaps so quickly it seemed rehearsed: "Yes, because this isn't just any bin, it's special." It's made by a company called simplehuman,... read the full review.

Texas A&M freshman linebacker Darian Claiborne, who led the team in tackles during the regular season, was arrested on Sunday and charged with possession of a dangerous drug and less than two ounces of marijuana, according to the Brazos County Jail website.
The school suspended Claiborne as a result and announced he will not accompany the team for the Dec. 31 Chick-fil-A Bowl game against Duke.
Claiborne had 89 tackles for the Aggies, and he also had a team-high seven tackles for loss.

Since unemployment rate is at its highest volunteer departments could use this as advantage to gain members to help out since they would have time on their hand. The normal general citzen thinks that firefighters go in and put fires out they do not know how the whole fireground scene works.
With my department we are looking at it closely to recruit this way. Is it wrong in some levels maybe but look at big picture. The benefits that come out of it that you can use to gain members such as Paid training, some cases paid uniforms, issue turnout gear, in house training, etc. Only thing you pay for is the membership fee which is $3.00 a year. Which I explain to them that it goes to your pager, turnout gear and equipment that giving to you. Not much which is why many unemployments join. They can meet with people from all occupations that once you become friends with they will help you out in getting a job. Every member from each department will say the same thing "take care of your own."
I tell each person when they join the department that it is an option to go into a burning people, but continue to add in that its fun and great experience and I tell them If you can't do it there nothing to be ashame of there is plenty of jobs to do on a fire scene. I tell them you can be my hydrant guy/gal, put ladders up, drive the truck, pump the truck, man the aerial, be safety officer, manpower pull, drive ambulance, work the air bank, etc. Some join to just drive and do outside stuff which hey that works for me less I have to do to get inside.
Its an idea that volunteer departments these day need to do whatever neccessary to keep manpower up to be operational. An idea to try and save whats left of the volunteers before every department would have to have paid personnel which will benefit hopefully the ones with out a job.

In areas with increased unemployment, increased recruiting may bring in some additional members who now have time on thier hands.
I see no problem with that.
As far as entering burning people ......Train to fight the fires you fight.
Call me crazy but I'm fairly sure an unemployed person's main concern is finding a job that actually pays. If anything, some one with sustainable income and some sembelence of insurance and care would be a perfect candidate for a volunteer firefighter.

Yes, the primary concern of most unemployed persons is finding a job however, I know of several members of both my current and previous departments that did become invoved while unemployed because they did have some extra time, and remained involved once they found employment.
I don't think there is anything wrong with ramping up recruiting efforts and taking advanatage of the opportunity to draw some new members in that may have the desire but have never had the time to volunteer.Train to fight the fires you fight.
I have no desire to get into a childish argument with you.

If "she" is burning - how much hotter could you want?
As for the whole recruting / unemployment thing I can see both sides of the argument. Yes they have more "free time" AND they are (hopefully) more concerned with spending it finding a job.
To that end I would say not to bother targeting your recruiting efforts to unemployed specifically, but be ready to show the benefits (i.e. networking, Life skills that can be added to a resume, etc.) that volunteering could provide - while running an ongoing recruting campaign for anyone.Take Care - Stay Safe - God Bless
Let's see....I lose my job yet still have to pay all the same bills....so I need to find a job again, quickly.
I can spend my time searching for work.....or
spend time hanging out at the firehouse with other unemployed guys, going to a training class to get certified that takes quite a few weeks, and have the possibility of injuring myself so that I can no longer work (if I found a job).
And then....if I do find a job...quit that volunteering thing that I didn't have time for before losing my job.
Sounds like a winning plan to me!
Hey, I'm all in favor of active recruitment...but it should be going on all the time, not just now that people are unemployed."This thread is being closed as it is off-topic and not related to the fire industry." - Isn't that what the Off Duty forum was for?
but but but...they'll have more time to do things that don't help out their situation, like VOLUNTEER!
I'm all for building a volunteer base but it's simply moronic to assume the unemployed are the prime demographic to build upon. There's nothing wrong with being unemployed but I can't imagine a smart person spending time doing something that they neither get payed for nor helps them gain employment."I was always taught..."

Nowhere did I say the unemployed was a prime demographic base. Nowhere did I say that recruiting efforts should target the unemployed.
I did say that if a community has a high rate of unemployment some of those may be possible members as they may actually have time on thier hands, and yes, it would be a good time to possibly increase recruiting efforts.
They are potential members.
Will all of them stay once they find a job? Probably not. But I would suspect that, depending on the community, the loss rate may not be especially out of whack wiuth the normal loss rate.Train to fight the fires you fight.

So would most ... ummmm many ... people. However the sad fact is there are in many areas many folks who are now among the long term-unemeployed and have stopped looking for work.
Some of these folks may in fact be looking for someplace to volunteer. I never said that they should be targeted however. If the OP has that type of a population in his area, i see now issue with ramping up overall recruiting efforts to try to draw some of these people in.Train to fight the fires you fight.

While some unemployed may be interested in becoming volunteers those are probably the same folks that would have considered it while they had a job. I don't see any practical way to link the two issues in a recruiting campaign except for those that are interested in building their resume to apply for public safety-related jobs.

So who and what pays the bills to live on while unemployed and being actively recruited as a volunteer? Should unemployed thus look to stay unemployed to the max allotted time, living off the govt subsidies so that the volly dept can thus capitalize on the fact these people don't have a job, leaving them more readily available for response?
Not to mention those who have no expeirence and now being required to attend training and certification classes, and for what kind of incentive? Really, what is the incentive for unemployed to stay in a community that isn't supplying jobs, just to be a FF for the community? If about the community and "giving back" well, being unemployed kind of shoots that down don't you think?
The thing is when recruiting, there should be some form of incentive, be it for anything, job, volunteering etc. So what is the unemployed's incentive to volunteer? Just because they have the time? However, training to really be certified can take a couple months. A time frame perhaps not as condusive to seeking other employment. Sure there may be some pay for calls and training, but how much are you offering? Is it worth the time committment to get certified and able to do this?The thoughts and opinions posted here are mine and mine alone and do not reflect the thoughts and or views of city or dept affiliation.

The Egyptian God Cards, also known in Japanese as the Three Phantom Gods, (
Several other cards, such as Ma'at, the Horus archetype, Sebek's Blessing, and Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys are named after real Egyptian deities, but are not a part of the Egyptian God series.
Series history
The "Egyptian gods" are one-of-a-kind all-powerful cards created by Maximillion Pegasus, who modeled them after three Ancient Egypt divine beasts whose likenesses surround the Millennium Puzzle on the stone tablet said to hold the memories of the nameless Pharaoh. When Pegasus decided to make them into cards, everyone involved in the project was attacked by the spirits of the "Egyptian god" monsters, so Pegasus decided to create the cards on his own, under the protection of his Millennium Eye. When Pegasus finished the art-work on the prototypes, he was having a nightmare about the cards attacking him. Shadi told Pegasus that he had angered the "Egyptian gods". Pegasus woke up injured after this "nightmare". So he decided that these cards were too powerful to be mass-produced, and had Ishizu Ishtar bury the prototypes in the Pharaoh's tomb. The wielder of these great cards is able to acquire the title of "Duel King," but in the wrong hands, they are capable of causing legitimate injury or even death. Using counterfeits of the "God" cards also proved to be deadly, as Marik Ishtar found out when his Rare Hunters were testing copies of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" mass-produced by their counterfeiting technology; some ended up being crippled, some lost their minds, and some even died the moment the card was played, and Marik came to the (later proven incorrect) conclusion that the "Gods" respond to the strength of heart of the Duelists, of which none of the members of the experimental group have.
- "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (「オシリスの
天 空 竜 」 Oshirisu no Tenkūryū - Sky Dragon of Osiris) - "Obelisk the Tormentor" (「オベリスクの
巨 神 兵 」 Oberisuku no Kyoshinhei - Giant God-Soldier of Obelisk) - "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (「ラーの
翼 神 竜 」 Rā no Yokushinryū - Winged God-Dragon of Ra)
Marik was able to acquire "The Winged Dragon of Ra" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon", but Ishizu was able to protect "Obelisk the Tormentor". She gave the card to Seto Kaiba with the request he host a Dueling tournament to lure Marik and his Rare Hunters to the city, bringing the other "God" cards with them. Kaiba, intent on claiming the cards for himself to secure his title as the strongest Duelist, agreed and hosted the Battle City tournament. During the tournament Marik revealed to Yami Yugi that the "God" cards and the Millennium Puzzle are needed to unlock his lost memories. Marik used "Slifer the Sky Dragon" against Yami Yugi through Strings, but Yami Yugi was able to defeat "Slifer" and took it for himself in accordance with Battle City's ante rules.
During the tournament quarter-finals, Yami Yugi used "Slifer" to defeat Yami Bakura. Marik placed a copy of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in Odion's Deck without his knowledge, telling him that usage of the card against Joey Wheeler was needed to prove to those watching that Odion was Marik, as Marik was keeping his identity a secret. After Odion was struck down by "Ra's" rage for using a counterfeit of its card, Marik was taken over by Yami Marik, who Dueled Mai Valentine in the next round. Mai successfully took "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from Yami Marik's Deck with "Amazon Chain Master" and summoned it, but was unable to read the hieratic text on the card one needed to recite to control it. On his next turn Yami Marik did so himself and took back control of "Ra" to win the Duel. In the final round of the quarter-finals, Kaiba faced Ishizu who had entered the tournament to witness the battle between the "gods" for herself. Using her Millennium Necklace to foresee Kaiba's moves, Ishizu allowed him to summon "Obelisk" with the intent to destroy it "Blast Held With a Tribute", but a vision from Yami Marik's Millennium Rod convinced Kaiba to win using his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", thwarting Ishizu's strategy. In an unofficial fifth Duel later that night, Yami Bakura and Yami Marik Duels, and Bakura seized "The Winged Dragon of Ra" with a combination of "Dark Designator" and "Exchange", and with the help of the spirit of the original Marik was able to summon and control Ra. However, Yami Marik sapped "Ra's" ATK to 0 with "Joyful Doom" and when Bakura abandoned "Ra" later in the Duel, Yami Marik revived it with "Monster Reborn" and revealed its secret abilities to win the Duel.
In the semi-finals Marik and Joey Dueled, and Yami Marik unveiled "Ra's" Phoenix Mode, burning Joey and wounding him so badly he fell unconscious and was unable to finish the Duel. In the next Duel, Kaiba and Yami Yugi faced each other and eventually both got their "God" cards on the field. After several turns of the two weakening and powering up the two cards, they equalled at 4000 ATK and destroyed each other, the clash triggering a vision of the Duel between Priest Seto and Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt. Yami Yugi was eventually able to win the Duel with "Dark Paladin", claiming "Obelisk". In the final Duel against Yami Marik, Yami Yugi used both "God" cards to battle him, but it was revealed "Ra" is stronger than both the other "God" cards and both were destroyed. Nonetheless Yami Yugi eventually claimed victory and "Ra".
In Season 4, Yami Yugi attempts to use the "God" cards to unlock the Tablet of Lost Memories, but it is iced over by the power of Dartz, preventing him from regaining his memories. The "God" cards are later stolen when Solomon Muto is caring for them by Dartz's underlings. They are retrieved at the end of the season to battle The Great Leviathan.
In Season 5, Yami Yugi uses the "God" cards to enter the world of the Pharaoh's memory. Here, acting as Atem in what is actually an RPG-type Shadow Game orchestrated by Yami Bakura, Yami Yugi battles Thief King Bakura and his Diabound with the "God" monsters one by one. Upon learning his name, Yami Yugi/Atem uses it to merge the "Gods" into "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty", destroying Zorc Necrophades and winning the Shadow RPG. Afterwards Yami Yugi used the "God" cards again against Yugi Muto in The Ceremonial Battle, Yugi destroying the cards by turning "Slifer's" effect on itself and the other "God" cards with "Magnet Force". In the Duel's final move, Yami Yugi attempts to revive "Slifer" with "Monster Reborn", but Yugi foresaw this and seals the card with "Gold Sarcophagus", allowing him to win the Duel. The three "God" cards were then lost forever when the tomb collapsed, burying the seven Millennium Items along with the cards when Atem left for the afterlife.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! R, the "Wicked Gods" are introduced, used by Pegasus's protégé Yako Tenma; Yako claimed them to be the twins of the three "Egyptian God" cards, and Pegasus himself was too afraid to produce them, but Yako completed them based on Pegasus's designs. The "Egyptian Gods" themselves made only brief appearances in the series, with "Slifer" being destroyed by "The Wicked Avatar" in Dark Yugi's first Duel with Yako and later being used to offhandedly dispatch Cedar Mill;" "Ra" being briefly Summoned in the second Duel with Yako to destroy "The Wicked Dreadroot," though ultimately, Yako negated the Summon; and "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk" to clash with "Avatar" in the final Duel with Yako, matching its ATK and destroying them both after being made equal on the Divine Hierachy as "Obelisk The Progenitor."
In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light, the three "Gods" combine to form a monster with infinite strength. This allowed Yugi to destroy Anubis' "Theinen the Great Sphinx" with an ultimate attack, "Titan Firestorm," and win the Duel. In the Japanese version of the second series anime, this is the equivalent of "Obelisk's" "Soul Energy Max" ability, which, as alluded to by Seto Kaiba, was a "miracle of God's anger."
In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the dorms of Duel Academy are named for the "God" cards - Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue. The series also introduces the Sacred Beasts, evil and twisted versions of the "God" cards.
Episode 85 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Pegasus mentions the "God" cards are gone. Presumably when Yami Yugi departed to the afterlife after his Duel with Yugi, he took the "God" cards with him. A copy of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" that Industrial Illusions created for testing purposes is stolen by a disgruntled card designer named Franz, who later Duels Jaden Yuki. The abilities of the card as far as immunity goes is not fully disclosed. There is a trend in GX for monsters of significant importance, to simply receive blanket immunity from all Spell, Trap and Monster Effects (e.g. "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord"). Jaden is able to defeat Franz and the copy of "Ra" is returned to Pegasus. In the final episode when Jaden Duels Yugi, "Slifer" is summoned.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, the "God" cards are briefly mentioned in episode 121 by Taro, when he compared the power of "Zushin the Sleeping Giant" to that of the "Egyptian Gods".
All three "Egyptian god" cards (in the anime and manga) share these similar effects:
- Each card requires a Tribute of 3 monsters in order to be Summoned from your hand to the field.
- They are unaffected by the effects of Spell, Trap and Effect Monster Cards (except from another "Egyptian God") unless the effect is to switch their battle position or increase or decrease their ATK or DEF points, in which case they are affected for one turn. There are a few exceptions or inconsistencies to this, such as:
- Sacrifice Blast, which Ishizu saw in a vision in her duel against Kaiba which apparently ignores the God Card rule. However, this was not confirmed as Kaiba inadvertently changed that future via unexpected interference with Marik's Millennium Rod by sacrificing Obelisk and his Gadget soldier for the Blue Eyes White Dragon instead. In addition, Marik did state that Ishizu's power has limits, which may have referred to that visioned moment not working. In the manga, Ishizu states that the "bomb" had become part of "Obelisk" itself, which was why it could have affected it.
- Ragnarok, which destroyed Ra in Marik's battle against Yugi. However, this may count as "Egyptian God effect" as the anime showed Obelisk and Slifer restraining Ra under the effects of Ragnarok. "Dimension Magic" takes this role in the manga, and again, it is not explained how it was able to destroy "Ra" (particularly noticeble given that "Ra" had been just previously shown to be immune to the effect of "Obelisk.")
- Pyramid of Light, which directly destroyed and removed the 3 God Cards from the field from play, shown in the first movie. However, according to Kaiba in the duel between Yugi and Atem which happens much later, the 3 Egyptian God Cards were never defeated at once, thus questioning if the movie is canon or not or if Kaiba was under Anubis' control without memory of what happened post-Battle City.
- Control of the cards on the field cannot change. However, they can switch possession while not on the field.
- Only chosen Duelists linked to the ancient past may control a "God" card.
- When in defense position, they can block an attack or effect targeting another monster on their controller's field and become the target.
- If they are Special Summoned, they are sent to the Graveyard at the end of the turn.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour, the "Egyptian God" Cards are affected by card effects that don't target e.g. "Gravity Bind", Field Spell Cards, as well as cards like "Smashing Ground" and "Mirror Force". They are also Tribute Summoned by offering 3 monsters, and include the line that if Special Summoned the card is destroyed at the end of the turn, during the End Phase.
In the original manga, the three "Egyptian Gods" possess a hierarchy among themselves. This is explained as a pyramid, with "Ra" being at the top, and "Slifer" and "Obelisk" at the base (as equals). Because of this, the effect's of "Slifer" and "Obelisk the Tormentor" do not work on "Ra". The effects of "Obelisk" and "Slifer" will work on each other, for one turn. Their effects are also much more clearly defined in the original manga: they require three sacrifices due to being ten-star monsters (under the Duelist Kingdom rules, Kaiba was shown Summoning "Obelisk" without any sacrifices as he would any other monster); the effects of most Trap card are useless against them, as their attacks do not trigger the activation conditions of a Trap Card. They are also unaffected by most effects that would remove them from the side of the field of the controller, except for the abilities of a God on the same Hierachy Ranking, and for unexplained reasons, the effect of "Dimension Magic," which was used to destroy "Ra." Any other abilities only affect them for a turn (this is why they return to the Graveyard after a single turn.) The effects of "Obelisk" and "Slifer" are also treated as both effects and attacks (the effect clause is shown when both fail to destroy "The Sun Dragon Ra;" while the attack clause is shown when the Summoning of "Kuriboh" did not trigger "Slifer's" effect as "Nightmare Steel Cage" was active and prevented attacks.)
It is sometimes said that in addition to their Divine-Beast Type, "Obelisk" is a Warrior, "Slifer" is a Dragon, and "Ra" is a Machine. The three are classified as these Types in various video games such as Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards and Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction. In the anime and manga, Yugi's "Buster Blader" is said to gain 500 ATK due to "Slifer" being a Dragon-type, and "Obelisk" is used by Gurimo, a Duelist who uses a Warrior Deck.
Obelisk's known special abilities are:
- Tribute 2 monsters to destroy all enemy monsters and inflict 4000 points of Effect Damage to the opponent. This card cannot attack during the Battle Phase if this effect was used this turn.
- Tribute 2 monsters to make its ATK infinite. This is the only effect it possesses in the manga, as the effect was only used sparingly and clarified twice - in the Duel against Yami Marik and against Yako Tenma in Yu-Gi-Oh! R.
Slifer's known special abilities are:
- The ATK and DEF is 1000 x equal to the number of cards held by the duelist.
- When an opponent summons a monster, this card attacks that monster immediately, reducing that monster's ATK or DEF by 2000, depending on if it is in attack or defense position. If that monster's ATK or DEF is 2000 or lower, it is destroyed.
"Ra" has the most effects of the "God" cards. Here are its known special abilities:
- The ATK and DEF are equal to the combined ATK and DEF of all monsters Tributed to summon it.
- This card is immune to any card effects that would prevent it from attacking.
- The Duelist can Tribute monsters to add their ATK to "Ra's" ATK.
- The Duelist can pay 1000 Life Points to transform "Ra" into Phoenix Mode, where it is entirely immune to destruction and can destroy any monster on the opponent's field.
- The Duelist can also pay any number of Life Points to increase "Ra's" ATK by the same amount. Under these circumstances, "Ra" is treated as a Fusion monster, and if targeted by "De-Fusion" its ATK drops to 0 while the Duelist's Life Points increase by an amount equal to what "Ra's" ATK had been.
In the Basic Game Play FAQ on the Former Official UDE Web Site there was a question that said "What do the Egyptian god cards do?" and it was answered with "Nothing. They're not legitimate Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game cards. They have no effects and can't be used in your Deck."
The names of the "Egyptian god" cards are derived from the names of items in Egyptian mythology:
- "Slifer the Sky Dragon" - Original name derived from the name of Osiris, the Egyptian God of Life, Death, and Fertility. The English name is an inside joke, derived from the name of Roger Slifer, a producer of the English-language adaptation to the anime.
- "Obelisk the Tormentor" - Derived from the term "obelisk," a type of monument.
- "The Winged Dragon of Ra" - Derived from the name of Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun. In the Filipino anime, Ra's name is changed to "Apollo", the Greek equivalent of Ra.
In the English manga, they are all often simply referred to as "God," though their original names are still used.
The names of the "Egyptian gods" are the basis for the names of the dormitories of Duel Academy in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX; Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue. This also reflects how Seto Kaiba viewed the three "Egyptian god" cards; "Slifer" was owned by Yugi Muto, his arch-rival, so it was only natural that he holds the card in such contempt. "The Winged Dragon of Ra" is in the middle, since it was owned by Marik Ishtar, until Yugi won it from him in Battle City; Seto Kaiba was thus neutral to this card. Of course, with Obelisk Blue, it was plainly obvious why he based this dorm off of "Obelisk the Tormentor"; it was the first and only "Egyptian god" card he received, and indeed seen the power it holds, until Yugi won it from him in the Battle City Finals.
Real "God" Cards
The use of the "god" cards is forbidden in all sanctioned tournaments of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game because of their unique color templates and backings (red/blue/yellow), their lack of any printed effects, and the fact that the cards themselves state that they may not be used in a Duel. As they do not possess effect text, conflicts arise over how they operate once Summoned. Some local hobby stores allow people to play "unofficial matches" provided everyone playing agrees on their effects.
Although the original "Egyptian God" Cards are unusable in an official Duel, all three of the "Egyptian God" cards have been released as Effect Monsters. The legal "Obelisk" and "Slifer" possesses effects virtually identical to its video game effects, while the legal version of "Ra" has its effects severely weakened (it cannot be Special Summoned, and it reduces your Life Points to 100 rather than 1).
These were the only DIVINE monsters released, until late 2011, when the legal version of "Slifer the Sky Dragon" was released, with many effects similar to its anime counterpart (except it has ? ATK and ? DEF, which substitutes for its X000 ATK and DEF, and its effect which makes the opponent's monsters lose 2000 points only works on face-up Attack Position monsters). A OCG release for the legal version of "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty", was announced shortly after "Slifer's" release.
The first version of the "god" cards was released by Konami as a privilege for those who made a pre-order of the Japanese Game Boy Color game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist released on December 7, 2000. The second set was released by Konami on April 17, 2003 as special pack-in cards in the Game Boy Advance game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters International — Worldwide Edition, the Japanese version of the English-language Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition: Stairway to the Destined Duel.
Unlike previous versions, the third version of the "god" cards was not released simultaneously. "The Winged Dragon of Ra" was included as a limited edition card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dawn of Destiny game for Xbox, released March 23, 2004. "Slifer the Sky Dragon" was released as a special pack-in card for the ani-manga of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light, published November 23, 2004 by Viz Media. "Obelisk the Tormentor" was released as a gift to subscribers of Shonen Jump magazine in May 2005.
The unusable versions of the "God" Monsters once demanded high prices on the secondary market. This was prior to their current widespread availability. During this time, countless counterfeit copies were made and distributed primarily throughout East Asia.
These were originally released as promotional cards (in Gameboy Worldwide Edition Promos) for people who just wanted to say they had them, but the cards were later used in Duels and complaints were sent into Konami. Konami responded to this in an FAQ that said these cards weren't to be used. They were, in fact, normal monsters, according to Shonen Jump. Official tournaments stopped allowing these cards, although there have been rumors that certain official tournaments will allow "Obelisk the Tormentor" by Tributing three monsters but "Obelisk" will have no other effects. Most people won't Duel against these cards at all, but some people will agree to various conditions.
"Egyptian God" Deck
With the release of "Obelisk the Tormentor", "Slifer the Sky Dragon" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra" in tournament legal form, it is now possible to create a Deck which revolves around the use of the Divine-Beast-Type. It's usually suggested that you focus on a single kind of "Egyptian god" in your Deck since it'll make your strategy more reliable, and the chances of Summoning more than one of them are practically zero.
(The only exception to this advice would be the case in which you want to create an instant win Deck with "Horakhty", case in which you'd need all of them on the field)
These cards require 3 tributes to Normal Summon but prevent effects from being activated on their Summon and cannot be targeted--thus the strategy of the Deck focuses on stalling and swarming until 3 tributes are available. However, stalling may be countered if your opponent has an instant win, such as "Exodia the Forbidden One", "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes", "Final Countdown", "Destiny Board", and "Last Turn". As well, efforts must be made to protect your "God" card from the effects that can harm it, like "Lightning Vortex" or "Dark Hole"; cards like "Pole Position", "Dark Bribe", "Solemn Judgment", "My Body as a Shield", etc., can help here.
If "Ra" is used, cards like "Draining Shield" and "Life Absorbing Machine" should be used to aide in the Life Point cost for using the effect of "Ra". An "Obelisk" Deck may wish to include cards like "Call of the Haunted" and "Monster Reborn" to revive "Obelisk" in order to use its field-clearing effect.
Even though the "Egyptian Gods" are powerful, they can be stopped by many cards. Just using something that doesn't target (like Hammer Shot) can easily destroy them. "Ojama Trio" may limit the amount of tributable monsters to 2, making it impossible to Summon them. Last but not least, cards that make them lose their effect (like "Destiny HERO - Plasma") can be devastating (although "Obelisk" retains his 4000 ATK).
Another notable weakness is that each playable "god" card has a significant weakness in the form of their "Wicked God" counterparts and, in one-on-one match-ups, the "Wicked Gods" win in battle. "The Wicked Dreadroot's" effect to halve all other cards' attack hampers "Obelisk". "The Wicked Eraser's" power to take everything with it when it's destroyed is notably useful against "Slifer". Finally, "The Wicked Avatar" is always the most powerful monster on the field, despite "Ra's" attempts to increase ATK.

Also Recommended Strategy
"Egyptian Gods" can also be used in combination with Frog monsters or another way to go is Normal monsters. Their attack and summoning allow them to have swarm potential. Their attack allows them to beatdown if you do not draw your key card.
Normal Monsters have many swarming/Special Summoning techniques. You will not need effect monsters for long, as you are planning to summon your key card, a "God" Card. "Silent Doom", "Heart of the Underdog", "Birthright", "Ancient Rules", "Swing of Memories", "Cry Havoc!", and "Symbols of Duty" help swarm the field, allowing you to summon your card. "Ancient Rules" is great in conjunction with "Heart of the Underdog" and "Heart of the Underdog" allows you to draw your Spell/Traps you need to summon your Normal Monsters. Trap Monsters also help swarming.
- The Winged Dragon of Ra - key card
- Obelisk the Tormentor - key card
- Slifer the Sky Dragon - key card
- Labyrinth Wall - good with "Ancient Rules"/"Silent Doom" to block
- Spiral Serpent
- Gene-Warped Warwolf
- Coach Goblin - to make sure you can do things with your high Level monsters clogging hand-
- Millennium Shield - good with "Ancient Rules"/"Silent Doom" to block
- Any Normal/Gemini with attack/compatibility with swarming.
- Silent Doom
- Ancient Rules
- Cold Wave (Traditional Format only)
- Symbols of Duty
- Swing of Memories
- Monster Reborn
- Heart of the Underdog
- The Shallow Grave
- Rope of Life -with your resurrecting Traps/Spells on field-
- Metal Reflect Slime
- Birthright
- Call of the Haunted
- Dark Bribe - use many to negate their Traps/Spells-
- Soul Resurrection
- Ultimate Offering - optional, may interfere with "The Winged Dragon of Ra"
- Any cards that help negate/stall for your key card.
V-Jump Magazine
In the Febuary 2012 issue of the V-Jump Magazine, a Deck was posted on how to successfully summon all three of the "Egyptian Gods" as well as their boss monster, "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty". http://img165.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20111216/17/5587492820111216172027050.jpg
Video games
The "Egyptian god" cards are present in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards, Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Spirit Caller and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2. With Tag Force 2, they are only accessible if you have the original Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force UMD Disc and with Spirit Caller, you need to connect with Nightmare Troubadour. Also, there is a special way of seeing but not controlling the "Egyptian God" Cards. You must unlock Yami Yugi. It also should be noted that since you may "trade" between Nightmare Troubadour and Spirit Caller or Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007 through buying cards from Nightmare Troubadour, it is fully possible to have the "Egyptian god" cards in either game. The "gods" are also available in Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2008, but only through use of a cheat device such as Pro Action Replay, a trade through someone who has obtained them, or obtained via the Card Download function, like with "Thunder King Rai-Oh". The "gods" can also been seen in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator — here, "Obelisk" is an Effect Monster, and is categorized as such. However, "Slifer" and "Ra" are their own individual Monster card types, unseen in the game's navigational menus. Each one is Level 10, Divine Attribute, Divine-Beast Type, and cannot be targeted by Spell, Trap and Monster effects. The Summon of a "god" card cannot be negated and cards cannot be activated in reaction to their Summon. Each "god" card requires three Tributes to be Normal Summoned and cannot be Set. If Special Summoned, they are destroyed during the End Phase. Then you can get the "Egyptian God" cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3; they are accessible if you have the original Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 1 and 2.

At 3.8 inches wide by 2.4 inches high by 0.8 inch deep with the lens retracted, the Z75 will fit in almost any pocket, though you'll need to dig into the setup menu if you don't want to turn the camera on by accident. By default, the playback and record buttons on the back will power up the camera if you press them when the camera is off. In our field tests, we were vexed on more than one occasion when the lens extended while the camera was in a jacket pocket. Ultimately, we turned this feature off. All of the camera's buttons are on the right hand side of the camera, making one-handed shooting fairly comfortable, though we always recommend shooting with two hands for better stability. Most of the buttons look and feel very similar, making it difficult to differentiate between them without looking.
Like most ultracompacts, you won't find any manual exposure controls, though Casio does include exposure compensation to tweak the camera's auto exposure decisions. There are also 34 Best Shot modes (aka scene modes) to help the camera deal with specific shooting situations, such as fireworks, sunsets, portraits, or sports. The 3x optical, 38mm-to-114mm-equivalent, f/3.1 to f/5.9 zoom lens isn't anything to write home about, but is comparable to what we'd expect from a camera in this price range. Casio's Anti-Shake DSP (aka electronic image stabilization) tries to keep the shutter speed fast to help prevent blurry photos, but isn't nearly as useful as the optical or mechanical image stabilization found in some cameras.
Considering that all Casio did, essentially, to differentiate the Z75 from its predecessor was make the LCD screen 0.1-inch larger, we don't see the benefit of the change. When we reviewed the Z70, we knocked it for its low-resolution screen, but this new screen is just as coarse, with a mere 114,960 pixels, which means you're previewing and reviewing you images on an LCD with a resolution of 479X240 pixels. In our field tests, we found it difficult to tell if an image was in focus before shooting. If not for the AF/metering square turning green, and the accompanying chirp if the sound is turned on, there's no way we would've known if the camera achieved focus. With so many companies offering cameras with 230,000-pixel LCDs, or at least something near that, it's absurd to see such a low-resolution screen. It's a clear example of cutting costs at the obvious expense of quality.
In our performance tests, the Exilim EX-Z70 scored well, mostly. It took 1.6 seconds to start up and capture its first JPEG, and took 1.84 seconds between subsequent JPEGs with the flash turned off, but slowed considerably to 3.36 seconds between JPEGs with the flash turned on. Shutter lag measured a fairly speedy 0.55 second in our high contrast test, which mimics bright shooting conditions, and 1.2 seconds in our low contrast test, which mimics dim shooting conditions. In continuous shooting mode, we were able to capture a none-too-impressive average of 0.73 frames per second when shooting 7.2-megapixel JPEGs. In the camera's Quick Capture mode, you can speed things up a bit, but since the camera doesn't focus between shots, you'll likely end up with a lot of useless shots.
While the EX-Z75 does a decent job dealing with color--we saw adequately accurate color reproduction in our test images--it disappoints in most other areas of image quality. Its automatic white balance did a decent job of neutralizing color when shooting under our lab's very yellow tungsten hot lights, but we were still left with a very slight yellow cast in our images. The tungsten setting did a much better job, as did the manual white balance setting. Unfortunately, we saw image artifacts in all our shots, and though they weren't hideously fuzzy by any stretch, they weren't the sharpest images we've seen, either.

Norfolk Man Sentenced to More than 20 Years for Conspiring to Distribute Methamphetamine
United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg announced that Martin Santiago-Robles, 44, of Norfolk, Nebraska, was sentenced on February 27, 2012, to 262 months in prison by United States District Judge Laurie Smith Camp, for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in the Norfolk area in November of 2010, where Santiago-Robles sold more than 200 grams of "ice" methamphetamine to a cooperating witness working for law enforcement. Santiago-Robles' sentence was enhanced by more than 10 years because he had two prior felony drug convictions. Santiago-Robles is a citizen and national of Mexico, and will be deported upon the completion of his prison term.
This case was the result of a joint investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Nebraska State Patrol, the Fremont Police Department, the Madison County Sheriff's Office, the West Point Police Department, the Blair Police Department, and the Homeland Security Investigations.

The Hot Dog Days of Blogger
Enigma Here to say thank you. It is very late Thursday Night, and after a Hellish eve Blogger apparently has repaired it's problems.I should have just recognized it was just Blogger Woes, not just a Watergate Summer Problem. I was worried and took the inability to leave and or access Comments personally. Especially when I could go to another home and another computer and leave comments. ( I mostly just wanted to escape to blogland on Thursday Eve and dialogue with others about SCOTUS disgust after the Bad Decisions of the week and Constitutional Concerns regarding the WH). But like a dog on a hot porch I could not see past the Heat of the Moment and the sandfleas on my rump.
Then Something amazing happened, I got great advice and help from others, while I could still access email...and one Nancy Drew Discovered the True Culprit....
(1) "SMENITA "was actually appearing in the comments Word Verification for Some to See....Okay MANY. This is apparently a "code" that appears letting folks KNOW that Blogger is having trouble....
(2) Google the "SMENITA"- and you can see yourself the History of this "word"...it is definently a form of Paranormal Word Verification, and there is is even a blog devoted to it, google SMENITA77. ( and it could sound like a wonderful Greek Island or even an exotic cocktail,but it truly is Hell. Although in Italian it means " Disavowl", it means Nothing to Blogger. So if you write and complain to Blogger it might be a Problem they Know Well.....too well ?
(3) If it happens again I am going to take advice and disable the Word Verification part of the Comments....
See Blogland you are so much wiser than Enigma....thanks for Your Patience....and Advice.

Word verification was supposed to be the death of spammers, but our own fix has made us sick. It was maddening, for sure.

Blogger sucks. It is down often since Google took it over.
I guess when you are so big, you don't pay attention to the ones who use your service.
At least you don't if you are blogger. - 8:14 AM
- Anon-Paranoid said...
Soooo glad your able to get back in.
Life really sucks sometimes don't it? At least under our current regimne it does.
God Bless. - 9:13 AM
Love those dogs on deck chairs. Sorry you had sandfleas! Here's a weird thing: last night Google returned many links for Smentia, many bloggers complaining about it, some pretty funny conjectures. Today I'm getting directed towards "did you mean dementia"? hmmm ...
And Google could find no match for "Smentia77.blogspot.com" today, even though it was available last night. Maybe it truly is PARANORMAL! Smentia77 is/was a site dedicated to the whole Smentia phenom since it first started with blogger Dec 2005.
Good to see you weathered the smentia storm ~~ D.K. - 10:09 AM
oops, my mistake! "Smenita" (spelled properly) is still valid, so is smenita77.blogspot.com/
Such a weird word, I couldn't even enter it right. Sheesh, maybe the dementia hits were appropriate! ~~ D.K. - 10:20 AM
- Dusty said...
Wow..now that you mention it, when I did leave two comments in a row on the post below this one..I too got that strange little spam word!
I didn't think much at the time except that it was unusual to have the same spam word twice in a row.
I am glad your up and running..hang in there m'dear :)
All the Blogger problems are part of the reasons I and Omnipotent Poobah have left Blogger and gotten our own domains. - 11:59 AM
- enigma4ever said...
G'morn folks...
Dusty: thank you for your help and sage advice. Many got THE Word- and googling it- was so interesting...and yes indeedy you and Poobah are wise....
DK: Wise one- I think BOTH words come up and I think it is really odd...and yet kind of interesting..thanks for helping me weather the storm...yikes...dimentia ????
ANonP : sure this must be Dick and Dubya's fault- must just put on the list ;-)
Larry: agreed..Blogger sucks-one does indeed get what one pays for....urgh...
Peacechick: yup...so much for the cure...I would take a few crappy ads over the last 24 hours anyday..... - 12:10 PM
- azgoddess said...
way cool - thanks for the info -- seems i've missed all the blogger fun - NOT!!
and i noticed i still have to word verify -- guess you're not that frustrated yet - smile - 2:40 PM
- enigma4ever said...
I was pretty damn frustated last night- KVATCH, Dusty, and Dk, and the Poobah all will verify my angst....
- Granny said...
I remember that from when I first started posting. I even wrote a post about it, I think.
It became an ongoing joke. - 2:50 AM
- Granny said...
Here you go The link is still active.
I wrote 3 separate posts (at least) in December 05 on granny.
We were all going nuts. - 2:53 AM
- Nona said...
You've been tagged. If you'd like to play along, please stop by Fishwars and read all about it.
- Frederick said...
I noticed it the other night too. I took care of my blogger issues long ago, however.
- enigma4ever said...
hey there ....Sat.morn...ooops afternoon...
Fred: hmmm, well, that sounds mysterious....I would guess you left Blogger...smart man..
Nona: hmm, I have been tagged ? well I will have to go check that out....and folks stop over to Fish Wars- is it is a great site...
Granny: thanks for sharing your bloggerdom wisdom... - 1:03 PM
- enigma4ever said...
Oppps I wasn't finished my sentence.....anyways Granny maybe we should have just one day to share info and stories on Blogger and share tips...I guess as long as we can laugh about it we will survive....

Hang tight!
Recipe by katquilter
"This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
14 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
1 red onion, sliced
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
Tomatoes and fresh basil are a classic combination! It doesn't get much better or much simpler that this - it's absolutely delicious! I decreased the onion and I probably could have left it out altogether. I plated this vs. tossing in all in a bowl. Plus, I NEVER chill it, but rather leave it at room temperature. It's so fresh and so good it could be a meal in and of itself! It's perfect with a a side a crusty Italian bread and a good wine. A definite crowd pleaser!
The flavor was great, but I think I'll stick with Bruschetta, it's easier to eat.

N.J. is known for growing the tastiest tomatoes in the country and we all know never to refrigerate these red beauties, as they will lose their flavor. After combining the ingredients, including garlic, I just let the mixture sit on my counter to absorb all the wonderful flavors. Ten minutes before serving I added the cheese. Thanks so much Kathy for a great side!!!!
So Good!!! Using fresh picked tomatoes and basil from our garden really make this dish. A summer long favorite at lunch or dinner.
Use fresh ingredients...especially the mozzerella, and seed the tomatoes so it's not a wet mess.
This was a great salad. I messed up and got shredded mozzarella without thinking, but it still turned out great! Rave reviews all around!
Extremely easy and very tasty. A nice side dish for a bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Thank you for sharing it.
Loved this! Easy Fast and Yummy!

Pholcodine and Pregnancy03/31/2011 |
Hi, I wonder whether Pholcodine is safe for pregnancy as I have 2 sources that mention the controversial safety during pregnancy: according Australian source (innovate pharmaceutical), it is safe (pregnancy category A) but from British sources, it is pregnancy category C. What is really the pregnancy status of this medicine?
This cough suppressant is safe to use occasionally during pregnancy. It can be habit forming if used on a daily basis.

Book Description:In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the "constrained" vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained" vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. He describes how these two radically opposed views have manifested themselves in the political controversies of the past two centuries, including such contemporary issues as welfare reform, social justice, and crime. Updated to include sweeping political changes since its first publication in 1987, this revised edition of A Conflict of Visions offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes circle around the disparity between both outlooks.

Southern Spaces has adopted the following policies regarding usage.
South: Southern Spaces prefers writing that treats "the South" as an imagined geography that has had important political and historical consequences but that rarely exhibits cultural homogeneity. Discussions of "the South" on Southern Spaces should attempt to recognize the constructed nature of the South as well as regional and local variations within the South.
Region, regional: Southern Spaces prefers to reserve the terms region and regional for smaller geographical units within the area commonly understood as "the South." The nineteenth-century term for a large geographic division within the United States, "section," may be used to refer to the entire South. The easiest way to avoid "the region" or "regional" to refer to the South as a whole is to simply use "the South" or "southern" whenever possible.
Subregion, sub-region: Southern Spaces does not designate any part of the country as a subregion. Therefore, submissions should refrain from the use of this term.
African American, black: Southern Spaces prefers African American and/or black (lowercase "b") for both the noun and the adjective.
US, American: Southern Spaces prefers US rather than American for political and historical contexts.
Southern Spaces has adopted the following policies regarding capitalization, as designated in the Chicago Manual of Style.
South, southern, southerner: Southern Spaces capitalizes such references as "South" and "North" but does not capitalize such references as "southern" or "southerner" or "northern" or "northerner."
Civil rights movement: Southern Spaces does not capitalize "civil rights movement."
Copyright for contributions published in Southern Spaces is retained by the authors, with publication rights granted to the journal. Content is free to users. Any reproduction of original content/ from Southern Spaces must a) seek copyright from authors and b) acknowledge Southern Spaces as the site of original publication.
All Southern Spaces essays, photo essays, and short videos pass through a rigorous peer review. Our peer review process is designed to provide assurance to readers that all essays published in Southern Spaces have attained a high standard of excellence, as judged by researchers who have expert knowledge in the pertinent field.
Upon submission, each proposed Southern Spaces essay is screened for conformation to the journal's submission guidelines. After determining that the submission's format and content are appropriate for the journal, the proposed essay is then sent through a double-blind peer review by two reviewers selected by the editorial board. Names of reviewers will not be released to authors, nor will reviewers know the identities of authors whose work they review.
Reviewers are asked to evaluate the submission critically with respect to conformance to the journal's scope. Other factors considered include an examination of the work's significance, methods, academic rigor, responsiveness to the latest literature and debates, conclusions, references, and overall presentation (including the use of audio-visual and web-based materials when available and pertinent). Southern Spaces editors may forward questions from reviewers to the authors for clarification. After the initial review process has been completed, the editorial board will decide whether to accept, reject, or ask for revisions to the submission. If revisions are called for, authors may review shared comments and have the option of re-submitting or withdrawing their submission from consideration. The managing editor of Southern Spaces will keep all authors informed as to the status of their submissions throughout the process.
Submissions will be published individually at the time of their acceptance by the editorial board. Published items will not be affiliated with a volume or issue, but will be identified by date of publication.

Quote:Don, I can see where something like the mechanism you suggest would be helpful if I were using an aluminum tube for the counterweight shaft. I chose 5/16" stainless rod because I guessed that this would be the minimum size that would be stiff enough. If vibration turns out to be a problem, the first thing I would try would be a larger diameter stainless shaft or possibly a stainless tube. I think an aluminum tube or even a solid aluminum rod would not work well with my mechanism since it would be too easily damaged by the clamp. A different type of clamp that spreads the force more evenly, like you suggest, would be helpful though it seems more difficult to construct.

Hotdog Flavored Water said:He doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe he should look up what PS Now is for before he makes an opinion and opens his mouth! Of course...Not just that though, let's say an older game does really well...that could open up room for a sequel or something because people are making it obvious that the series is still loved. I know that's more like a hope/dream but its a possibility.
Whenever I see stuff like this I miss playing WoW. I haven't played in a long time but I really want to. The monthly sub makes it hard for me to justify playing it.

Song Stories
"Wake Up Everybody"
John Legend and the Roots | 2010
A Number One record by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes in 1976 (a McFadden- and Whitehead-penned classic sung by Teddy Pendergrass) inspired the title and lead single from Wake Up!, John Legend's tribute album to message music. The more familiar strains of "Wake Up Everybody" also fit his agenda. "It basically sums up, in a very concise way, all the things we were thinking about when we were putting this record together in that it's about justice, doing the right thing and coming together to make the world a better place," he said. Vocalists Common and Melanie Fiona assist Legend on this mission to connect.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

Most of the roles at Disney takes about three days or so of training, so Disney doesn't hire just for breaks. But if someone has seasonal status, they can work on school breaks, which many people I know do.
Sorry, new here. Not even sure if this thread can even be under this folder.
I read up on the Disney's College Program, but I'm wondering if WDW hires students to work ONLY DURING fall and/or spring break.
Obviously the College Program is an official internship for a whole semester, but I'm looking for temporary employment in WDW, if it even exists.
So basically I'm not exactly looking to be a part of the internship. Though jobs require weeks' worth of training, right? Ergo it wouldn't make sense to be able to work just for a college break...
Call it a stupid question. Ridiculous, moronic, "you're joking," etcetc
But I've heard light rumors meaning otherwise? Which is why I'm asking...
Answers appreciated.

You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality" - Walt Disney
you should give the program a try. It is a blast and you do have the chance to earn college credit while down there. You also get the chance to meet many different people from around the world and make new friends. It truly is a great experience you wouldn't want to miss. After you complete the program, you can be set up for seasonal status. I have a friend here at my school who does that.
If you have any other questions about the college program, hit me up.
Thanks, guys.
