Frequently Asked Questions
We hope you find the following information useful. If you still have questions after reviewing the general information on our web site and the following specifics, feel free to contact us. For your convenience, you can browse through all of the information below, or jump directly to any of the following specific topics:
General Topics
I'm ready to be a part of the team and help. Where do I begin?
Sponsoring a child is the first step we recommend, as it is one of the simplest, yet most helpful and rewarding forms of support you can provide. When you sponsor a child, you provide not only financial help, but much needed emotional support. As your child's personal mentor, you will directly touch that child's life through exchanging letters, sending small gifts, and even visiting your child.
I've sponsored a child, but I want to do more. What's next?
The next step we recommend is selecting one or more of our financial support opportunities. We offer a variety of these, so that you can find one that touches your heart specifically, while also fitting within your budget. Many people like to contribute toward the building of particular facilities, as it allows them to see and touch the results of their assistance. However, there are many other ways to help that are very important--from one time donations, to recurring monthly support plans, to in-kind contributions. From our web site home page, simply hover over the "Help Now" button in our top menu, or check out the various other links on the right hand side of the page.
The ultimate form of involvement is making a personal visit to an orphanage, where you can spend time with the children and participate in some helpful volunteer activity. It may involve helping with the construction of a needed facility, or simply spending time with the children and demonstrating that someone cares about them. We make such a trip within reach of most people. Orphanage visits can be the whole purpose of your travel, or you can add on a visit as part of your other travel plans.
What makes SereniGy Kids different than other orphan charities and "relief" agencies?
Unlike most of the other agencies, our mission goes beyond simply providing needed short term relief in the form of food, water, and the other basic necessities. Those are very important functions, but for us, providing basic care is merely transitional. Our ultimate goal is that each orphan coming under one of our programs be placed into a loving, permanent home. At the same time, we want to give each orphan the hope for a future outside of poverty by educating them and equipping them with important life skills. Ours is a very holistic approach.
What's the best way to stay current on the results of my assistance as well as learn of other opportunities to help?
The best way to stay in touch with what we are doing is through our periodic newsletters. If you haven't done so already, you can sign up here. Our web site is also regularly updated with important information, so be sure to check in from time to time.
Can I take a charitable contribution deduction for my support to SereniGy Kids?
Serenigy Global Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization under the United States tax code, and support payments should generally qualify as charitable contributions and thus be tax deductible in the U.S. However, you should consult your tax advisor as to your specific situation.
Will I receive a receipt for tax purposes?
Yes, we will mail a receipt combining your annual giving. However, you should also keep your own records of your giving.
Is it safe to use a credit card on this web site?
Yes. We use industry standard secure online credit card transactions processing systems.
For the Child Sponsorship, I was sent to PayPal. I don't want to create a PayPal account. I simply want to use my credit card. Is that possible?
Yes. You will still be taken to the PayPal payment screen, but you can choose to make payment without creating a PayPal account. While not required, you may find that creating a PayPal account is actually convenient and useable for making other online purchases. Creating a PayPal account is simple and secure.
If I am making on-going payments, will I be able to change my credit card information if I need to?
Yes, you can do that by contacting us.
Is there third party information available about your organization?
Yes. Please review the Financial Integrity information under the "About Us" menu, which contains links to the Texas Secretary of State's offices as well as to GuideStar, a leading charity information site. You can also find us on the IRS charity web site.
Do you make public your financial information?
Yes, you can review important financial information on the GuideStar site referred to under Financial Information under the "About Us" menu.
Do you have policies in place concerning child security, protection and privacy?
Yes. Please review our Child Security Policy accessible under the "About us" menu.
I'm not an American citizen. How does that affect what I am reading on this web site?
This web site is currently geared toward U.S. citizens living in the United States. Most of the information remains valid for citizens of other countries, except that relating to taxation and travel.
How do I sponsor a child?
Please follow the links throughout our web site, which will lead to a screen where you can select a particular child and set up your monthly sponsorship payment. Your funds will be pooled with other child sponsors so that all children benefit equally from the program and no child feels left out.
Will I be able to communicate with my sponsored child?
Yes. It is actually encouraged and expected. Child sponsorship is so much more than a financial contribution, it is a responsibility. Establishing a one-on-one mentoring relationship with your child is actually a primary purpose of child sponsorship. It is important for your child to recieve your encouragement, and for them to know that someone actually cares about them. We encourage you to write, and to send a small gift on their birthday and at Christmas using our convenient online store.
Will I be able to visit my sponsored child?
Yes, in almost all cases. Please review the "Visit an Orphanage" section of our web site for detailed information.
Can my sponsored child visit me?
Until they they turn 18, legal issues like immigration, child protection laws and more make that prohibitive. However, we absolutely encourage you to visit your child in their homeland.
WIll my child have any sponsor other than me?
No. While the child's local program may receive various forms of general support, you will be the only person your child has the opportunity to get to know outside of their own village. That's why it is very important for you to communicate with your child and build a relationship.
What language will my child speak?
English, though it may be mixed with the local language.
Can I sponsor more than one child?
An important part of child sponsorship is the one-on-one relationship that is established, so at the present time we ask that each distributor only take on one child. In addition, there are more distributors than there are children available for sponsorship, so we want to give the opportunity for the most number of distributors to become involved. However, there are many other ways to help.
Can I "give" my sponsorship to someone else, such as my child?
Yes, with adult oversight, so that the child also has the opportunity for adult mentoring as well. Please sign up as yourself as we match distributor records, but then contact us with your request.
(1) First, get to know your child by writing a letter, letting them know a little about you and perhaps sending your photo. (2) If you feel led, you can arrange for an age-appropriate gift once or twice per year from our online store. (3) If you haven't already, consider purchasing a new uniform for your child (see "Purchase Supplies"). (4) Plan a visit! (5) Watch for our newsletters for more information.
Tell me more about writing letters to my child?
We suggest that you write to your child every 2-3 months. Due to customs and other international shipping issues, letters can take weeks to arrive, so plan accordingly. You child will likely write back, under local staff's guidance.
Please mail your letter to our corporate offices, making certain to note the name of your child, birthdate and country on both the envelope and the letter. The address is as follows:
Serenigy Global Foundation, Inc.
c/o 1625 N. Story Rd. #162
Irving, TX 75061 (USA)
For your privacy and protection, do not include any identifying information in your letter other than your name (a photo is acceptable). We will forward only your letter so that your return address does not become available to any unscrupulous activity. We will translate your letter if necessary. We also reserve the right to withhold any communication or enclosure we feel is innapropriate for any reason whatsoever. Your child's letters to you will be routed through the corporate offices to protect your privacy as well. Due to the technical and administrative issues, we cannot accept e-mailed communications to your child.
Can I send gifts to my sponsored child?
We encourage small occasional gifts as reminders to your child that you care about them. Because of child protection issues and international shipping issues (customs, theft, high cost, etc.), we have simplified the process for sending your sponsored child a gift. You can simply use our online store, and local staff will actually purchase an age appropriate gift selected especially for your child.
Can I send additional money to my sponsored child?
No. However, our web site offers many other ways to provide additional financial support to our children as a group.
What does it mean to be a child's mentor?
An important part of child sponsorship is establishing a one-on-one relationship with your child. The most important aspect of that is for your child to know that you love and care about them, as shown through your communications and possible gifts and even visits. Mentorship involves providing affirmation of value and encouragement to the child, and providing basic educational, career, and moral guidance when opportunities arise. The latter should be done without any particular religious explanation.
How long does my sponsorship last?
Your sponsorship will last indefinitely until the child becomes an adult, or you elect to cancel your sponsorship. In the case of an orphan care program, if your child is adopted, you will be given the opportunity to continue your communication with your child, and you may elect to continue the financial support of the child's adoptive family.
Can I cancel my sponsorship?
Yes. Since a sponsorship is a voluntary act to begin with, it can be cancelled at any time. However, we hope you will consider the possible negative impact on a child's self-esteem before doing so. If you do need to cancel, we ask for at least thirty days notice to give us time to locate a new sponsor for the child. To cancel, simply contact us.
Does my monthly child sponsorship amount go directly to or for the benefit of my sponsored child?
The monthly child support amounts for all children at a program locale are combined and used to fund programs benefitting all of the children at that locale. We do not want to create a situation where the "cutest" kids are better served than the others. U.S. tax law also precludes funds being given directly to an individual.
Why can I no longer see my sponsored child's photo on your web site?
Once a child is sponsored, their photo is removed so that visitors focus on those children remaining available for sponsorship. Sharing photos with your sponsored child is an important part of child sponsorship, so you will have many opportunities to see your child's photo over the years.
Do you have a Child Security Policy?
Absolutely, and it is strictly enforced, including legal prosecution. You can review it here.
What does it mean to "sponsor a local adoptive family"?
This is a program we will be adding in the future whereby we provide support to local adoptive families. This encourage local adoptions and helps overcome a common barrier to adoption, that being the added expense of an additional child.
My downline team would like to sponsor an entire orphanage we have become aware of. Is that possible?
In most cases, we are available to help facilitate that and add that orphanage as one of our programs, either exclusive to the team, or non-exclusively. Please contact us with what you have in mind and for further details.
How does my sponsorship help?
As you can see from this web site, the children we support have many needs. The financial part of your sponsorship helps with the various physical needs, and the relational part of your support provides emotional support.
After sponsoring my child, I learned some things about them that were different than the original profile. Why is that?
In preparing each child's profile, we rely on local staff to provide the desired information. However, we face significant language, communication and cultural barriers that impact our ability to achieve complete accuracy. Things as simple as birth dates, name order and even gender can be confused. Living situations can be difficult to define. If you discover any inaccuracies in your child's profile, we ask two things. First, your patience and understanding, and realizing that whatever it says, you are helping a child. Second, we do ask that you notify us so that we can adjust our records accordingly. Thank you for your understanidng!
General Donations & Earmarked Support
What's the difference between making a donation, making a monthly pledge, funding a project, and purchasing supplies?
A donation is typically a one-time gift of money. A monthly pledge is a donation made every month, and which is automatically charged to your credit card. Funding a project allows you to select a particular project that is important to you, and contribute with others to a project fund. Purchasing supplies allows you to very precisely identify exactly the type of support that your funds will be used for.
Can I make a general donation?
Yes. General donations are very helpful. Simply use the link under the "Help Now" menu.
Can I make a larger donation on a payment plan?
Yes. Simply select the "Monthly Giving" link under the "Help Now" menu. Then use the drop down menu to select the Support Payment Type of "Donation (Recurring)". Since a recurring donation is a voluntary act to begin with, it can of course be cancelled at any time.
Can I cancel a monthly giving plan?
Yes. Simply contact us.
I visited an orphanage and now have some other ideas for how I might assist. Can you help coordinate that?
Yes. Simply contact us.
How much of my general donations and earmarked support funds is actually sent overseas?
Due to a generous administrative support commitment from Serenigy Global, Inc., we have very low U.S. administrative expenses. Those that are incurred within SereniGy Kids are funded as part of our child sponsorship program. Unlike many charitable organizations, we do not pay professional fundraisers, and most of our staff are volunteers or paid directly by Serenigy Global, Inc. for their services to SereniGy Kids.
Visiting an Orphan Program Site
I'd like to visit a program site. Can I do that?
Yes. Visiting our kids can be one of the most heart-warming and life-changing experiences you can have. Our web site contains everything you need in order to schedule your visit and make your travel arrangements.
How far in advance do I need to plan my trip?
The further in advance, the better, and we recommend at least 4-6 weeks out. However, if you already have your immunizations and travel documentation, you can plan your trip very last minute.
How much does it cost?
Trip costs vary depending on airfare, accommodations, side excursions and other typical costs of travel. At the present time, there are no fees to visit any of our orphan programs, except for a nominal $50 per person trip coordination fee (non-refundable).
How and when is the "Trip Coordination Fee" paid?
The Trip Coordination Fee is paid at the time of filling out the online Trip Registration Form.
Can someone help me arrange my trip? What if I would rather make my own travel arrangements?
You are free to use the services of a travel agent of your choosing. However, it is very simple to plan your own trip using the information on our web site.
What is a typical itinerary for an individual service trip?
Itineraries vary depending on local factors and length of trip, but an example of a one week trip follows:
Saturday/Sunday: Fly into destination country and travel to orphan program destination. Check into hotel (or other accommodations) where you can get settled in and rested for the days ahead. Time permitting, tour local village.
Monday: 8:00 a.m. Site tour. Meet with local staff and plan week's activities. 8-4 Orphan Contact & Service Project (including lunch with the children). Return to room. 6:00 dinner, then relax and reflection time.
Tuesday: Orphan Contact & Service Project
Wednesday: Local Area Sightseeing and/or Recreational Activities Trip (if desired)
Thursday: Orphan Contact & Service Project
Friday: Orphan Contact & Service Project, and say goodbyes to the children and staff.
Saturday: Depart to airport.
Why do all scheduled trips begin and end on specific days of the week?
We rely on local staff to assist with our visitation programs, so our programs are designed around staff availability, etc.
Can I take my family or a friend?
Yes. You will fill out a Trip Registration Form only for yourself, but let us know of any others traveling with you.
What language is spoken at the program sites?
English is spoken at most of our facilities, though local languages are often spoken as well. Our Destination Information page for each program has further details about language and more.
Are there any "rules" governing my visit?
Common sense should prevail. However, this web site contains various rules and policies concerning "hands on" activities, like program site visits. Most significant is our Child Security Policy. By visiting, you agree to all such rules and policies as well as those existing at the local site, and agree to submit to the authority of local staff.
International Travel Facts
Where can I learn more about international travel?
The best source for current information about all aspects of international travel is the U.S. Department of State web site.
Is international travel safe?
Generally speaking, yes, however the global terrorist threat certainly raises safety issues in particular locales. The best source for current information about all aspects of international travel is the U.S. Department of State web site.
Is international travel complicated?
Not really. The primary difference between domestic travel and international travel is the identification and permission to enter process (passport and visas) and possibly needing immunizations. This is all explained on the U.S. Department of State web site. Our web site also has very good summary information based on our own travel experiences.
How do I obtain a passport?
The best source for current information about all aspects of international travel is the U.S. Department of State web site.
What is a visa?
A visa is an entry document issued by the country you are visiting, so that you are accounted for as being in the country, and to ascertain that you leave. The best source for current information about all aspects of international travel is the U.S. Department of State web site.
I am interested in adopting a child from an orphanage. Is that possible?
At the present time, none of our supported programs have children available for international adoption. The Foundation believes that the best adoption solution for most third world orphans is a local one involving existing extended family or other loving households within the nearby community (known as "indigenous" adoptions). Uprooting a child and taking away familiarity, existing relationships and what little security they might have is not always the best solution for a child, even though it may be difficult to watch a child remain in what we perceive as an overall poverty situation. On the other hand, due to the sheer numbers of orphans and/or particular circumstances of a child, local options are not always available or in the best interests of the child. The Foundation will thus partner with adoption agencies who can further facilitate adoptions from within specific orphanages or for select child circumstances. Distributors will be given first preference for any such international adoptions that become available, providing the ultimate hands on means of helping solve the world orphan problem.
Do you facilitate adoptions?
No, but we partner with reputable organizations who do nothing but that, and can refer prospective adoptive parents to such organizations certified to be in compliance with the Hague Convention by the Council on Accreditation and listed on the State Department Web site .
How can I learn more about international adoptions?
The best source of information on international adoptions is the U.S. Department of State web site.

One Summer : America, 1927 by Bill Bryson
The summer of 1927 began with Charles Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Babe Ruth was closing in on the home run record. In Newark, New Jersey, Alvin "Shipwreck" Kelly sat atop a flagpole for twelve days, and in Chicago, the gangster Al Capone was tightening his grip on bootlegging. The first true "talking picture," Al Jolson's "The Jazz Singer," was filmed, forever changing the motion picture industry. All this and much, much more transpired in the year Americans attempted and accomplished outsized things--and when the twentieth century truly became the American century. Read More »

Get the Look: Draper's Dapper Desk Area on Mad Men
Get the Look: Draper's Dapper Desk Area on Mad Men
Everyone, it seems, is talking about AMC's Mad Men, but for wildly different reasons. GeekSugar's loving the vintage geekery while BellaSugar can't get over the sexy '60s looks. I, of course, am all atwitter over the awesome interiors. Here, I'll clue you in on how to get sexy ad man Don Draper's dapper desk area.
I decided to update the strict look of this midcentury office with some finds that also would look great in a modern home office, which meant I looked for furniture on a slightly smaller scale, and that was also a little more versatile.
The Desk: For strict verisimilitude, stick with the Preston Desk ($999), but if you'd like to get a little more playful, there are some other fun choices below.
To get the rest of the office's look, read more.
The Chairs: Like the entire office, the chairs require a strong masculinity. Any of these chairs would fit the bill.
The Table Lamp: Whether you choose a task light or a simple table lamp, clean lines and a no-nonsense approach is a must.
The Drapery: Keep it simple with solid or near-solid panels and muted colors.
The Wastebasket: When you're throwing out so-so ad campaign brainstorming notes, you don't want anything distracting you. For that reason, keep your trash receptacle sleek, cool, and collected.

The debate over the health benefits of fish oils is over a decade long.
Within that time, countless studies have been conducted to determine
if the ingestion of fish and fish oil capsules help lower the risk of cardio-
vascular disease. The existing body of evidence suggests that they do have some beneficial effects. In this issue we attempt to highlight some
facts known about fish oils and health.
In the last issue of Nyam News, the development of cancer and the
relationship between the daily consumption of fruits, vegetables and
cancer prevention was discussed. Plant foods, including vegetables
and fruits, are a source of many micro-nutrients and bioactive
compounds that may figure protecting against cancers of the mouth,
pharynx, larynx, pancreas, stomach, oesophagus, colon, rectum, lung, and prostate.
A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth which is intended
to increase usual intake of the dietary ingredients it contains.
Dietary supplements are usually offered as an addition to the diet
and not as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet.
Dietary supplements are marketed in differing forms and presentations
according to the product category.
Ever wonder whats this fuss over organic foods? The term organic
usually refers to the way in which famers grow and process their
agriculture produce, such as meats, fruits, vegetables, grains and
dairy products. Organic foods are foods that are grown without
chemical or genetic modification.

For many athletes, a little healthy competition breeds success. For Vernon's Alana Hearn, her competitive nature has allowed her to reach heights on the field, on the court, and in the classroom. Alana likes to stay busy. From volleyball ball season in the fall, to helping command the softball team from centerfield come spring- there's little rest for the Vernon High School senior.
"Alana is probably one of the hardest working kids I've ever had," said head coach Kayla Galloway. She'd do anything for me. She's the first one to ask for direction, the first one to lead, the last one to leave practice a lot of the time. She's just a very very hard worker."
"Doing sports has helped me be diligent in what I'm doing," said Alana. "It's made me focus on you need to do this at this time, and there's an expectation on you."
That hard work isn't just confined to the softball diamond- as Alana has been voted MVP of the Jacket volleyball team several times, and when it comes to the books, she boasts a 4.5 GPA as a dual enrolled student- racking up 40 hours on college credits.
"It's absolutely insane the amount of work she puts into her academics, and the amount of college credits she has as an athlete and as a high school student," said Coach Galloway.
"I just take it as I go and whatever time I can I devote to studying, and then everything else is sports," said Alana.
That competitive drive isn't limited to sports- as behind her academic success, Alana is set to become Vernon's Valedictorian.
"It's to the point where it's extremely competitive," laughed Alana. "Like, who got what on what test, or who has the better grades. It's nice to be able to say, wow, I did this. It's a proud moment, and you can sit there and say, I didn't sit back and do nothing- I was getting myself ready for life."
It's that next step that Alana's excited about- as after finishing up her AA at Chipola next year, she wants to head to the University of Florida, and hopefully continue athletics on the volleyball court.
"Anything she wants to do she can definitely achieve it," said Coach Galloway.
"I think that if I dedicate myself enough, I could definitely work and help out the team there," said Alana.
Dedication- because for Alana, there's never enough to be accomplished. Alana says she wants to be a doctor- either in prosthetics or nuclear medicine.

King of the Nerds, Episode 6: Ben and Sophie talk friendship, alliances, and the relevancy of dance
Sophie's Thoughts
King of the Nerds dropped a questionable Nerd War on the contestants this week, sending Team Blextrophy and Team Servants of the Forsaken Orb head-to-head in a battle of song and dance. The teams were challenged by host Curtis Armstrong - dressed in Lady Gaga drag, for some reason - to write, produce, and dance to a nerd anthem, performed in front of nerdcore pioneer MC Frontalot, and musical comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates, who would judge the winner. The anthem had to be catchy, reference nerd culture, highlight nerd strength, and be a song that other nerds would want as their ringtone.
While it's cool that the end result of this Nerd-Off was, in theory, an audience of proud nerds who have an anthem to call their own, the Nerd War itself didn't seem particularly suited to the contestants' skills, knowledge, or history as nerds. Sure, plenty of us look a little dorky dancing in front of the Kinect or with motion control wands in our hands, but dancing and lyric-writing are not particularly ostracized skills or hobbies to enjoy. When was the last time you heard someone say, "Oh, Whatshername likes to dance. What a nerd!"
Genevieve said it best in her confessional when she lamented that, if she should lose, being sent home over lack of dance skills would be a pretty dumb reason to be sent home. This is King of the Nerds, not So You Think You Can Dance. Would you expect someone who sits atop… THE THRONE OF GAMES to say they earned their place by dancing? I find it hilarious and a little sad that every time deliberation comes up over who to send into the Nerd-Off, there's always talk of "well, we haven't seen the math and science Nerd War yet," or "we haven't seen the computer Nerd War yet." After watching the show sink so much focus into Danielle's ability to perform a body roll, and with only two episodes left, I worry that there simply won't be competitions to show off some true nerd talent.
As you can tell, I wasn't particularly thrilled with the choice of Nerd War and Nerd-Off. I think, as with most things in my life, my feelings can be perfectly expressed via gif. Ben, what did you think of this week's competition? Did the show lose its nerd cred?
Ben's Response
I'm willing to forgive a whole lot of bullshit to see Garfunkel and Oates on television. They do great songs, they're funny as hell, and either Garfunkel or Oates is cute as a button. I don't know which is which. I'm referring to the one who was on Scrubs.
Anyone who has played in a band knows how hard it is to work on music with other people. Having your lyrics, voice, or musical skills questioned is a grating thing, especially in a group. I'm a little surprised there wasn't more drama during that portion of the show. I had a hard time sitting through Virgil dressed up like a "sexy" schoolboy, and the use of autotune was annoying as hell. Also, is that how you say Na'vi? I thought the stress was on the first syllable, it seemed like they adjusted that just to make the already strained rhyming scheme work. These are the things that bother me.
To be fair, I thought both of the songs were kind of painful, but I doubt I could do better under those circumstances. I also don't understand why these people were singing and dancing for me anyway. It would have been interesting if they had a band geek or two in there, but there wasn't a clarinet or anything to make this work thematically. Hell, I would have made them sing live and at least made it tricky in that way.
Also, I know this is the sort of show that wouldn't exist without product placement, but holy shit that Little Caesar's call out was pretty painful. I at least appreciate the Forsaken Orb folks weren't afraid to go blue. We need more bleeps in the King of the Nerds. Virgil noticing that they only lost during subjective competitions was also interesting. Does he have a point?
So yeah, I kind of agree with you Sophie. I don't get what this was all about. Those trampoline parks are fun as hell though, we have a local one that's attached to a laser tag arena and I take the kids there from time to time. As always, King of the Nerds shows its contestants a good time. The Nerd Off was close though, were you surprised that Virgil was booted?
Sophie's response
First, I'll have to agree with you that the Little Caesar's bit was awkward as hell. If the camera could talk, I'm sure it would've been saying things like, "BREADSTICKS!!" "PEPPERONI!!" "ORDER YOURS TODAY!!" But yes, that whole "King of the Nerds is brought to you by…" moment was a little much.
I was surprised Virgil was booted, since they talk it up like he's the Dance Central master, but I started to figure all that foreshadowing at the beginning of the episode was indicative of the end. It's much more dramatic to watch someone fail if it's edited to look like a sure thing in the beginning. I'm also - and I know this might sound a little conspiracy theorist - not entirely sure I believe those final scores. Virgil scored exactly 1.1 million points? And Genevieve scored exactly 1.129 million? Maybe they rounded up for sake of simplicity, but it's still throwing me off.
What I was more surprised at however, was how hesitant Blextrophy seemed to be in voting Virgil into the Nerd-Off, and how emotional Virgil was post-competition. Ben, you made a joke in one of our earlier reviews about how people on the show are there to win money, not make friends, but things seemed genuinely hard for Blextrophy. It made me sad to think about, but I also wonder what would happen if the nerds tried to play the system. What if they refused to vote? Or, what if they could figure out who the other team would send in, and unanimously vote for them as well?
King of the Nerds can be an excellent jumping off point for talking about nerd history and nerd culture. Nerds aren't exactly known for being social butterflies, and I doubt many of the contestants were popular growing up. Now they have a chance to connect, but they're voting each other out and clawing their way over each other for cash. I want to see these nerds stand up to the man and use their big brains to exploit the loopholes in the name of keeping their friends around!
What do you think, Ben? Reality shows shouldn't be used to form a moral compass, but friendship and socialization play such huge roles in a nerd's life that I find it surprising no one's acknowledged the irony of the nerds finally being surrounded by their own kind, only to take pride in beating them down and triumphing over them.
Ben's response
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that this is the first time Virgil was in this kind of intense group, working towards a common goal. I've known quite a few people who fit that description, and they tend to be very inward looking people who are used to relying on their own intelligence to get through most situations. It really did seem like it was hard for him to leave the show behind, and once again someone I assumed would be one of the last competitors gets the boot.
I don't know about the Dance Central scores, but they weren't that close. I would be more skeptical if they were only a few points off. I'm not really sure how difficult the song they played was, so I can't really comment one way or the other. But then again, Dance Central? It's a weird fit for the show.
It's not like the contestants can rise up and overthrow the structure of the show. They know they're in a competition, they signed extensive paperwork agreeing to the format of the show, and they have to follow it. I don't think we're going to see the producers at TBS suddenly shutting the whole thing down when Danielle and Joshua try to end the game in a suicide pact, Hunger Games-style. Although that would be somewhat epic.
The social aspects of this episode were more interesting than the competitions, and that rarely happens. I'm hoping things get back on track for the next episode.
Sophie's final question
So which would you have as your ringtone, Ben? I liked "Talk Nerdy To Me" a bit more, just because I envision Virgil's face at the end when I listen to it.
Ben's final answer
I gotta be honest. It was neat that they created those songs so quickly, but if I didn't need to hear them for the purposes of work I would have fast-forwarded through the section. I'll keep the first ten seconds of "Cherub Rock" as my ringtone, thank you very much.

Real Madrid targeted United's right-hand side in the first 45 minutes and, by the United manager's own admission, the young defender struggled to cope with the Spanish side's attacks.
What's more, Rafael was left treading a disciplinary tightrope when he was booked on 40 minutes for hauling down Mesut Ozil on the by-line.
The Daily Telegraph talked of Rafael being "tormented by a succession of white-shirted matadors", claiming the 22-year-old "must have felt as though he had strayed into the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, Madrid's most historic bullring, rather than the Bernabeu".
Sir Alex, speaking to MUTV, insists he never considered taking Rafael off at half-time and, sure enough, after the interval it was a different story.

A newly renovated playground has opened in the District of Columbia.
Mayor Vincent Gray and other District officials cut the ribbon Thursday on the Palisades Playground in northwest Washington.
The ribbon-cutting was held at the end of the annual Palisades July 4th Parade and Picnic.
The playground has movable play equipment, including building blocks, and features Native American symbols and themes.
It was opened as part of the Play DC Playground Improvement Project, which the Gray administration says is the largest playground renovation project in D.C. history.

GLobal Warming, when you get hot you get irritated. Your underwear sticks to your private parts and who likes that....IT IS SO IRRITATING I COULD JUST SHOOT SOMEBODY....... or at least yell at someone, or maybe just get a little ticked off....
The world is full of a lot of unhappy people who need a place to vent. Message boards are the safest place to do that. The ego is the only thing that gets bruised and beaten on the internet. Bad manners and lack of respect takes it's toll.
I dont know I say smoke a bowl and relax

And all you Davin Joseph lovers, McNeil was available in the 2nd round with the Trueblood pick.
This is just another example of the Chargers drafting perfectly. Them and the Pats have reached the top tier of the league when it comes to this. We're at the bottom looking up at them.
McNeil might be out of the league in a few years.
Quote from: MBF on January 17, 2007, 11:58:23 AMMcNeil might be out of the league in a few years. He aso might be a pro bowler the next 10.....
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
Goes with what dal said to some degree. LOT is the most valuable position on an NFL line. We opted to pass on McNeil (medical)and Justice (character) to draft a guard. I still think that when picking OL you start by picking the most coveted position, that being LOT. We chose to draft OG first and OT 2nd and I think that is just bad managment there. You can get a top 3 OG in R2, [you can't get a top 3 LOT in R2, unless you are picking early.
MBF true but I think Trueblood was the 5th OT taken. 1. Ferguson2. McNeil3. Whitworthmaybe he was 4th.This also is not a very good OT class.

New pedestrian bridge opened in Cork
01 February 2006 12:25
A pedestrian bridge across the River Lee was officially opened this morning by the Lord Mayor of Cork, Councillor Deirdre Clune.
It is part of the Lee Walkway project which began five years ago and will eventually provide a pedestrian route from the city centre to Curraheen on the outskirts of the city.
Costing €2 million, the Mardyke walkway will also facilitate the movements of thousands of UCC students between their southside campus and northside campus.

It's funny, you should say about a boardwalk down by the Opera House. I was walking along there the other day and thinking about how unpleasant the general environment is down that way. With the four lanes of traffic and the narrow footpaths and the difficulty crossing the road, I wondered if it might impact on the ability of new businesses in the area to trade properly. Perhaps a boardwalk could be incorporated into a new plan for the area.

Great card to bring boxing back to my borough, I see these posters damn near all over. Wish I had the bread for both this event and the nba season opening Nets vs. Knicks. It was a tough choice, but I chose the NBA opening tickets over the boxing.
Lol, Can't pull my fan card for this, both nights will be Legend!
Hell no you can't get your card pulled for that! I love my boxing but basketball is my first love lol Damn those tickets are boss status man, hella jealous right now.

- 12 pearl onions
- 1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

Reviews for Tangy Shrimp Kabobs
Sort By :
Good flavor. I added some chopped garlic to the marinade. Shrimp and pineapple pair so well together!
I used regular onions and yellow instead of green peppers because that's what I had on hand and it was great! I think it would like it better with just the shrimp and pineapple, but the peppers were a nice addition.
Debsell, I have been baking/cooking for tons of years (I am 61 yrs old)and I still come up with a question like yours now and then. Don't feel bad. Sometimes something will seem like "duh" to one person, while to another it is an "aha!" moment. Enjoy the process of learning new recipes. My mantra is, if folks don't put food on my table, pay my rent/mortgage, then I don't care what they think of me. You do the same, sweetie.

This is what you call a breakout album, Gamma really came into their own on this one. These songs were more polished and melodic. If this is your first venture into the Gamma realm, I highly recommend Gamma3, then go get Gamma2, and Gamma1. And let's not even talk about Gamma4, do go there.
But Gamma3 was perfect for the times (early 1980's) This band rocked it, and yet had such a great synth sounds from Mitchell Froom he brought a thicker meaner rock synth to the band and gave them a more progressive edge. Mitchell's synth work compliments Ronnie's guitar riffs perfectly, many bands later in the 80's took note of Mitchell and Ronnie's melodic trade-offs and worked them into their music as well.
The first track "Whats Gone is Gone" kicks off the album in a rock anthem eargasm, one of my favorites! "Right the First Time" is the more commercial sounding track and quite good, I remember hearing it on the radio when this album came out. 'Condition Yellow' is where the synths shine as a very Saga-like haunting up beat instrumental piece that reminded me a bit like the song 'Starliner' from the old Paper Money album.
Although I agree this is the more progressive Gamma album (not that there is anything wrong with that) it really is Gamma at its best and on top of their game. This album certainly did not get the full recognition that it deserved at the time.
I am puzzled as to why there are some bad reviews of the album, maybe they are just metalheads afraid of change, or not quite polished in music theory, or just sat to close to the Marshal stack? But I do know that if you were not born early enough to live the glory days of Ronnie Montrose & Gamma from the very begining, then you do not have a very good frame of reference about this band or this album.
Gamma Biography - Gamma Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Gamma was the group that Ronnie Montrose started after his group Montrose broke up. They released three albums on Elektra Records between 1979 and 1982. Gamma 3 hit the Billboard charts in 1982 and rose to #72. Wounded Bird. 2002.

Finally, after years of waiting, Gamma 3 (as well as the rest of the Gamma catalog) has been released on CD. It's about time!! This greatly underrated band, fronted by guitarist Ronnie Montrose was around during the heyday of Journey…probably one of the reasons for their relative obscurity.When the original albums came out, this was the last that I bought but it quickly became my favorite. While the songwriting exemplifies the typical hard pop rock of the time, it stands out primarily due to the awesome synthesizer work of Mitchell Froom. The sounds he produces are fantastic, interchanging from Thomas Dolby-esque pop sensibilities, to Pink Floydish atmospheric passages and Gong-like arpeggiation. He even shares duelling solos with Mr. Montrose on the song "Mobile Devotion" –one of the greatest keyboard/synth duels in the history of rock music. Ronnie's guitar kicks as usual, and the balance of the band is every bit as tight as Journey ever was!This CD comes highly recommended to fans of early-80's hard rock / pop, as well as fans of great keyboard players.
This cd or it was an album back oh, say 21 years ago still is very good to listen, too. It isn't quite as hard rocking as the first two cd's, but that doesn't mean it isn't as good as they are because it is just as good and maybe better overall even though it doesn't have the hard hitters like Solar heat/Ready for action or Mayday. What it does have is a lot of very good to excellent progresive songs and ronnie does play quite a bit still throughout the cd. My favorites are the third degree, moving violation, condition yellow, and stranger. If you don't have this cd and have the first two don't be afraid to pick it up because you will like better and better through the years.
This is an excellent cd by Gamma, every song on it is good. It is a little more progressive than the first two cd's not quite as hard rockin. Montrose best playing comes on Mobile devotion, condtion yellow( really nice guitar solo in it. My favorites are Moving Violation, Condtion Yellow, No Way out, and Stanger, but all songs are very good to excellent. If you don't mind mind it leaning to the more prgressive side of rock then buy this cd because is well worth the money.
Others might like one or both of the previous Gamma albums, but for me, Gamma 3 will always be my favorite.
For years, this cassette lived in my sports car, and made bad trips good, and good trips great. By the time the opening anthem, "What's Gone is Gone" finished, I'd be driving at least 30 mph faster than the limit, and hoarse from singing at the top of my lungs, and in need of new speakers, 'cuz I blew them out.
And the rest of the album is just as good. "Right the First Time" gives me chills just thinking about it. "Stranger" is burned into my brain – at least that guitar/voice part.
The brilliance that briefly showed up in "Space Station #5″ ("Montrose") is all here, in spades. You're going to love this album.
I, too, have been waiting for this to come out on CD for decades, and look forward to buying it.
BTW – Ronnie Montrose also put out "Speed of Sound", which is an awesome album.
