ozzy just little crazy!!!
Ozzy christian?
No, I'm not trying to bash Ozzy or anything..but I'm just wondering because you always hear about anti-sabbath/ozzy christians out there..but if you read the lyrics to "After Forever" By Sabbath..
"Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light
and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared
at the end of our days
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love"
But then he calls himself the Prince of Darkness >.< Kinda confused

ozzy is not anti-christian...he singing about god and evil and Nothing else...satanism having Another tradition For example marilyn manson and black metal bands...
Ozzy's religious view can be described with three words: deeply religious non-believer!
i have a opinion but there is not enuf internet for me to blurb it out,,i have been baptised three religions, lutheran-- church of england -- catholic
that was what i was born into - what a crock Andy. seriously. if you look into the people in the legacy of that particular LONG LIVED entity, there are some big time nutzoids in that religion. they say "when you see the thing where it should not be, then you will know the end times have come upon you." the only thing i can figure that should not be somewhere is the presence of evil in what should be the place of love. so what makes more sense then 60 years after someone with a message of deep love and mending of all the harsh things of Judaism, all the legalism and condemnation and separation from love... that the birth of a dynasty historically littered with men passing on the wrong dead messages, abusing others (very f***ed up individuals), and reaping death and destruction everywhere to rise up and consume all things related to the most purest form of love that lived. and by a dynasty i mean organized religion, of which Roman Catholic church is but a part, though historically a strong and powerful one, of that entity.
they say "you shall know a tree by it's fruit." that one (organized religion) is a bad one, mostly rotten fruits come from it. there are a few kind hearts, but most of the rest are sick, evil, rotten things. the entity in large surely has been historically.
it keeps so many from even opening the pages to read the words of truth and kindness...by giving the illusion and image of "holiness" to the most profane sick and evil souls.
ya know?
Have you had a snif of the barmaids appron, or have you had 2 or 3 wine gums?
I have not started the book, but I beleieve that Ozzy was a roman candle sorry roman Catholic and Sharon is half Roman Cathoilc (mothers side) and Jewish (on her father Dons, side)
Number 1
oh wow im toooo hungover for a post
Y u guys gettingn so hung up on whether or not Ozzy is Christian....?He just IS like I Am....I've been influenced by soo much around me from my formative years and on. This included christian influences as well as influences from socio-economic background/like family etc... Is it Really important cos I think most of us are searching and I tihnk its excellent that his songs express an understanding of inner conflicts!!
great topic, but strayed a little in the middle there into really technical (OMG) discussions, don't cha think OjZoZhYn12.03.48 and Scapegoat ~ whoa...where'd THAT come from?
i am not sure myself, but whomever said ozzy is searching ... and that there are other religions based on God (judaism and muslim)...that's a good point.
in I Don't Want to Stop it says "too many religions but only one God..." which is a monotheistic perspective. whether the Ozzman wrote those particular words or not, i don't believe he'd sing them if it were something he really felt at odds with. 3 main religions are monotheistic - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
when seeing the video of his restatement vows of marriage to Sharon, i get the impression that he still very much seeks spirituality and blessings, and took the matter of his vows seriously. he was very moved by the ceremony, you can see that (OMG! and why do i love this man?)
the person marrying them again seemed to be from judaism - or some morph of judeo-christian faith.
seems to me (and what do i know lol) Ozzy would reflect on teachings of Jesus, Ghandi, and other spiritual (even ordinary Pay it Forward) people as they have entered his life. maybe not so much in his past as he would today, because of the sobriety factor. but at no time do i get close-minded or atheistic or satanist at all.
I can't seem to see you baby ... although my eyes are open wide ... but I know I'll see you once more ... when I see you, I'll see you on the other side
hey ozznoids im here
Ya its sad really, it use to be a pretty happin place. Despite all that I still drop in here from time to time and take a look at what my fellow Ozzy fans are chattering about, even if sometimes it is a wee bit out of control, or just plain ole silly.
Anyway good to see you pop in here Outlaw, been a while huh?? lol
Ozzy:"I have no regrets except that I wasn't up to keep Randy (Rhoads) from getting on that plane." (Ozzy Osbourne, Guitar World Issue 37, 2000)
no one comes here anymore. lol

TE is an abbreviation for the sabbath album Technical Ecstasy. OzzyJohn was big on abbreviations, lmao! Have not seen him here in ages, all in all he is a good guy, I miss talking to him....
Ozzy:"I have no regrets except that I wasn't up to keep Randy (Rhoads) from getting on that plane." (Ozzy Osbourne, Guitar World Issue 37, 2000)
OjZoZhYn12.03.48..... who is TE??? and to Miseracordium: who should listen to the lyrics of Revelation ( Mother Earth ) from the Blizzard of Ozz album and there is also some help in the song(s): Children of the Grave from the Master of Reality album and Running Out of Time from the Down to Earth album.
Hope that helps....
My Opinion, Belief in God is not Soley based on Christianity. Take Judaism or Muslim for Example.
God is Present in All of these Religions, but the Primary Difference lies in the Nature of The Messiah.
Ozzy doesn't Preach, but He does have a Tendency to UnderMine alot of Conventional Concepts concerning Religion. As a Matter of Fact, The whole 'Sabotage' - Black Sabbath Album seems infused with a Certain Oriental Perspective. Like anyone, Oz is Probably just Searching for The Truth, but no Matter what Flavor You Choose; One Should be Devoted to Ones' Own Beliefs....
as far as ever saying the prayer of salvation for himself i dont know and thats between him and the Lord and not for any of us to know , i do know he does give credit to where credit is due when it comes to his talent and riches...he knows who gave it all to him
make a joke and i will sigh, you will laugh and i will cry,happiness i cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
I think - based on Ozzy's lyrics that he haz more faith - than many who go to church and are religious! I also think that organized christianity seeks to control believers thoughts - starting with tha council of Nicea - up to tha present - but that real believers find fellowship - with others of tha same faith - thru Spirit - not a church building or institutionalized system of belief! Where in tha Gospel does it ever call satan tha price of darkness - read Matthew 6:6 and 10:27 and and concerning darkness.
I met ozzy in March of 1984, back stage at a concert that I won a writing contest to get on stage with him when I waz 14. I waz speechless - something very unusual 4 me!
google me!
listen to the albums down to earth and black rain!
ozzy gets his message across in these two albums.
Listen carefully to: running out of time - down to earth, facing hell - down to earth, gets me through - down to earth. dont wanna stop - black rain.
Peace out ppl
\m/ ozzy for life \m/
to dale.beerzombie: you are so right!!!! thanx for saying that and i agree with you totally. i just need my boyfirend to see something like that... and my sister and her boyfriend...
Not really Sincere,
Did you come to stare or wash away the blood?
-my chemical romance, life on the murder scene, desert song
I have always assumed that Ozzy has had some form of the Christian faith taught to him at one point or another throughout his lifetime. Ozzy like most of us was probably raised within a Christian home that practiced some variation of the Christian belief system. The sect that he came from is not really all that relevant, but I also agree he most likely was raised in a Catholic home, as is true for most of England's children, past as well as present day.
I first picked up on this through his choice of words & lyrics in his songs with Black Sabbath, as well as the many interviews he has done in years past where he has always given props to a higher power, hence I ultimately have determined he does indeed stock faith in some sort of divine deity. As to what particular one it is? It really has no consequence to me; it will have absolutely no effect on me as to whether I will purchase his cds or merchandise ever again in the future.
Now as for him going to church on a regular basis, I tend to think not, but who is to say. I guess it all depends on what your definition is of this thing called church? For me it's standing in the woods, just me alone with my thoughts, & emotions. Reaching out to whatever it is that may be pulling all these strings down here on earth. So if that constitutes for one attending church, then I would say Ozzy has done that more than a few times during his lifetime, as well as have I.
I hate to be nit picky, but post like that can lead to confusion and ignorance, Ozzy hardly wrote any lyrics in Sabbath :)
Tony Iommi = God, his arch angels are Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Walker, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Dave Donato, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, and Bill Ward (bassically everyone who sang on a song labeled Black Sabbath)
Christ on a crutch guy, Ozzy had more input than one may tend to think he had, but I wont squabble with you to much, considering Tony's ego was probably far to inflated back in them days to allow Mr. Osbourne to put in his fair share of words & lyrics in the mix. I know for a fact Ozzy didn't contribute much musically, some stuff on keyboards, or so I have heard. But in the end I kind of think it's a cheap shot at Ozzy by insinuating he didn't contribute at all, or enough????
And as for being nit picky, DON'T BE! lol
Peace bro
Oh no, Ozzy contributed tremendously he laid down those great melodies on top of Tony's crunching doom filled riffs. I'm just saying that Geezer wrote most of the lyrics not because he was told to by Tony but because Ozzy 'doesn't have a way with words'. It was not due to Tony's ego, I think he grew that a bit later ;). Tony hasn't written many lyrics either I think in the Ozzy-era the only lyrics he wrote were on Changes, I believe he wrote the entirety of the lyrics and music on that track. I don't think it was until 7th Star that he took to writting lyrics again. For 7th Star even, Tony worked with Geoff Nichols.
Even now and in his solo band ozzy didn't write all that much, certainly more than with Sabbath and I think more in the Rhoads days but Daisley and Zakk I belive write a lot of the lyrics. For DTE they even brought in a host of writers. After listening to Black Rain, I think the majority of the lyrics have Ozzy written all over them. You can here Zakk in places but I think Ozzy contributed more on this album than any of his previous albums.
Tony Iommi = God, his arch angels are Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Walker, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Dave Donato, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, and Bill Ward (bassically everyone who sang on a song labeled Black Sabbath)
Well it's refreshing to finally talk with someone that is aware of how much Geezer contributed to Sabbath. Geezer is truly awesome; I am a big, big fan of the guy.
I am curious how you feel about technical ecstasy? Are you of the same mind that with that album they definitely showed how each of them had evolved as musicians, & what direction their sound was taking them in. I really enjoy that effort from them mostly due to that fact, that you could hear the Ozzy that we got with blizzard, & diary, as well as Iommi's guitar sound, it really kind of gave you a heads up on what was to come with Dio joining Sabbath an all. Just curious as to what track you think from that album best represents that theory, & what is your fav song from technical ecstasy? I really got off on all moving parts (stand still) & she's gone. To be honest I almost like she's gone as well if not better than changes, what about you bro????
I think TE is he black sheep of the Ozzy-era catelog, and very underrated. Sorta the stepping stone from Sabotage to NSD. My favorite track from TE has to be It's Alright lovely song Bill is a wonderful musician. 2nd favorite has to be Gypsy Bill's drumming shines, I was very frustrated trying to learn the drum part to that, tookk mee a while to figure out he had a tamborine back track. I think its a very good album, but I need to be in just the right mood to listen to it.
However, I gotta disagree about it forshadowing the sound on H&H and MR, unless you are talking about You Won't Change me. On TE I hear a steady progression of the Sabbath sound since Vol 4. Starting with that Sabbath gradually started to change ending with a rather jazzy feel on NSD. H&H was 90 degree turn, but sorta keeping the keys that would remain. On H&H Tony went back to his doomy riffs of MOR but with a very different sound. Although I enjoy the sound on TE and NSD it is a sound that can become nostalgic very quickly, I think Tony realized this aswell which is why H&H sounds so different.
Tony Iommi = God, his arch angels are Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Walker, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Dave Donato, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, and Bill Ward (bassically everyone who sang on a song labeled Black Sabbath)
I agree with you about TE being the black sheep of the Sabbath Catalog, & under rated to say the least. As for "its alright" by Bill, I am sorry I didn't list that one, considering it's the only Sabbath song featuring Bill alone that I am aware of, & yes Bill is kind of over looked as far as rock drummers go. I have always thought that Bill got over looked during his era with guys like John Bonham, & Keith Moon getting so much of the glory. In retrospect I think its kind of bulls***, especially since modern metal has a big tribal influence in it, & I kind of think Bill's style was also in that flavor, not exactly but I can hear traces of it in there. Bill has always been a drummer that played from the heart more so than being all hung up in the technical way of drumming, not that the man doesn't have definite skills that shine.
I am surprised you don't agree with Tony's guitar sound on TE sounding a lot more polished than his previous recordings with Sabbath up to that point. I could definitely hear a difference in the tone & distortion he used in TE as compared to lets say never say die. I thought it kind of gave a sneak peek at what Iommi had up his sleeve, because by the time he recorded heaven & hell Tony's sound was dramatically different in my opinion, maybe it was the introduction of better outboard gear such as processors ect. I mean you can still tell its Iommi, but a wiser much more experimental Iommi, it's a shame that Osbourne was let go, I think it would have been great for Ozzy to have been a part of all that. As for the jazz thing I personally never got that vibe, maybe a little. But I always heard way more blues come out in Iommi's music with Sabbath, of course I may be a little biased since I have never gave a squirt for jazz, to me jazz is nothing more than a musicians thing. Weird since I play bass that I don't really have a love for jazz, but to me its way to abstract & basically a little self-indulgent. I can see it being fun to play, but to be a listener of it, well to me it's just a bunch of musicians wankin themselves off on the fact of how well they can play. As for you hearing it in there that's cool, we all walk away with our own ideas of where a musician is at as far as influences, technic, and creativity in his career. Just for me I never picked up on it that much… As for Iommi's doomy thing, I feel its always been there, stronger on some albums than others, but always been there. I have always been a little on the dark side of life, and it shows in my taste in music, film, & art. So I am a big, big fan of doomy lol. I look forward to your thoughts on all this, & to your response, till then take it easy bro.
Keeping all this in mind, guys, don't forget the lyrics to Black Sabbath's "Under the Sun". Look them up real quick right now, it's off the Vol. 4 album.
Under The Sun is about self relization, discovering your own idea of truth or what to believe. Its like the movie Dogma, just because the church says something doesn't mean it is right, is all the song is saying. But I wouldn't doubt their faith.
Tony Iommi = God, his arch angels are Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Walker, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Dave Donato, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, and Bill Ward (bassically everyone who sang on a song labeled Black Sabbath)
Names like that are given out by the public that grow. Ozzy and the rest of the Sabs are/were Christians, Catholics I believe, actually I think Geezer and Bill have strayed a bit but both very spiritual, but Tony still wears his cross at every show.
Tony Iommi = God, his arch angels are Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Walker, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Dave Donato, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, and Bill Ward (bassically everyone who sang on a song labeled Black Sabbath)
I think at least Ozzy is christian, cos at the end of every show he shouts "God bless you all!", perhaps during the show too.
Then, let Him bless us all.
May Rock n' Roll be our guide throughout the damnation!
i'm christian and i'm not anti-ozzy/sabbath. i even like marilyn manson!! i mostly like ozzy and emo-core music like my chemical romance and the used. i think ozzy could very well be a christian.
Not really Sincere,
Did you come to stare or wash away the blood?
Nah, you guys aren't listening, he IS. Not maybe or perhaps. I doubt he goes to church every sunday, maybe he does on Christmas and Easter, but the guy believesin Jesus Christ and celebrates Christmas.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
LG is so confident about the LG Marquee's fashion credentials that the company debuted the phone not at a tech trade show, but during New York Fashion Week. And no wonder, because the Marquee is essentially the Sprint version of the LG Optimus Black , which wowed us back in January with its innovative Nova display and show-stopping good looks. Even though 10 months have passed since we laid our eyes on it, the Marquee still manages to dazzle us with its bright screen and sleek design.
It's not just beautiful on the outside, either. The Marquee rocks Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread right from the get-go, and incorporates a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 1GHz processor, and support for corporate e-mail. We're not thrilled about the usual Sprint bloatware and the Sprint ID user customization feature, but the latter is only as messy as you want it to be. For $99 after a two-year agreement, we think the LG Marquee is one of Sprint's better Android offerings.
Just like the LG Optimus Black we saw at CES 2011, the LG Marquee is remarkably slim and lightweight. At 4.8 inches long by 2.52 inches wide by 0.36 inch deep and weighing in at an amazing 3.95 ounces, the Marquee is one of the thinnest and lightest Android handsets we've ever held. Indeed, some might think it's too light--we could imagine completely forgetting that it's in our pocket. Also, its all-plastic glossy shell doesn't have as much of a premium feel as heftier handsets. Still, we think its smooth and sleek shape more than makes up for it. The back is slightly contoured for a better grip, and features a striped pattern that is absent from the original Optimus Black.
What really makes the Marquee shine is its 4-inch Nova display. LG claims it has 700 nits of brightness, which makes it the brightest and clearest display on the market. While we have yet to truly measure this, we can say that it does appear to be just a smidge brighter than the Super AMOLED Plus display on the Samsung Galaxy S II , and looks to be on par with the Retina Display on the iPhone 4. Yet, the Marquee display doesn't seem as vibrant or sharp. Of course, the displays on these phones are different sizes, so we can't say for sure--we're just eyeballing it. We'll have to test these phones in our labs for a more definitive answer.
Comparisons aside, the Nova display does look very impressive. With support for 16 million colors and a WVGA 800x480-pixel resolution, blacks are true and deep, and images and graphics pop with color. Text appears crisp as well. The capacitive touch screen felt nice and responsive, though we did experience the occasional sluggishness during menu transitions.
The Marquee ships running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread with a Sprint-flavored user interface. It's pretty close to how the native Android UI looks, except that Sprint has added its own Sprint ID button in the bottom row of the home screen. With Sprint ID you can customize the five home screens with certain preselected apps, widgets, and other items depending on which Sprint ID profile you choose. For example, if you select the Green package, you'll get eco-friendly apps and widgets. You can also choose a minimalist package, which leaves the home screens bare. Just note that deleting a Sprint ID package won't uninstall the apps that you downloaded--you'll have to remove those apps manually. We don't like that Sprint has made Sprint ID so integral to the phone, but it's safe to just ignore it. You can read more here about Sprint ID and how it works .
Underneath the display are the usual four Android shortcut keys: Home, Menu, Back, and Search. This arrangement is slightly different from on the Optimus Black, which has the Menu and Home button positions switched. The volume rocker sits on the left spine along with a customizable shortcut key. On the top are the power/screen lock key, the Micro-USB port, and a 3.5mm headset jack. Sitting above the display next to the Sprint logo is a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, while a 5-megapixel with LED flash sits on the back.

Millions of Californians May Still Be Uninsured in 2019
Millions of Californians may still be living without health insurance five years after the full implementation of the federal health law.
A UC Berkeley and UCLA study projects two to three million Californians will have new health coverage by 2019. But co-author Ken Jacobs of the UC Berkeley Labor Center is looking at the other number.
"As many as 3 to 4 million Californians are predicted to remain uninsured."
Jacobs says most of the uninsured will be legal residents of the U.S. And about half of those without coverage will be eligible for it. For some, language or finances may get in the way.
"Some people who are eligible for Medi-Cal or subsidized coverage will not enroll because they're unaware or because they see obstacles to enrollment. And for those people, good education, good outreach, and keeping enrollment as easy as possible will be essential."
The Labor Center says only about three percent of those without health coverage will face a tax penalty.

Title: Latest Review +
Posted: May 25, 2010 (08:38 AM)
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
If this was only a single-player game that had a bit more missions and fine-tuning, I would have given it an 8. But it wasn't.
Console Series Overview Time!
From Best to "Worst":
-Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
They went to town on this game, delivering varied play mechanics and missions, a well-executed plot, and great soundtrack. It set the standard for following AC titles to live up to or overcome. It has yet to happen.
-Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
The original "full-scale" action AC game. AC6 may have more planes in the sky and more chaos, but AC4 just feels better executed overall.
Edit: I played a bit more of AC6 after posting this, and I change my mind. AC6's campaign is good, but the current state of the multiplayer and some issues keep the overall product just a tiny bit under AC4.
-Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
The current "full-scale" action title, kinda falters in places, like having an annoying lock on, lame plot, and minimal amount of missions. Doesn't help that the multiplayer now is next to empty. Like I said, if this was just a single-player game with more missions and some fine-tuning, it could have been better.
-Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
Coming after AC5, the overall product feels disappointing. The one area it was great in was the dogfights, some of which is easily the hardest fights in the series. However, basically everything else about the game keeps it from becoming a wonderful title.
-Ace Combat 2
I'm thinking of changing the rating to a 7/10. It's still a good game, and the first great AC console title, but later games in the series easily outdo it. The soundtrack is catchy, though.
-Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere
After AC2, this ended up being really lame. There's a lot of variety to be had, but the stupid AI almost destroys the game. Plus, the soundtrack sucks.
-Air Combat
I don't hate this game, but I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to play it. The game does pose a bit of a challenge if you play on the Hard difficulty setting from the start.
Trivial Trivia
-I intentionally submitted all Ace Combat reviews on a Tuesday.
-After writing "Action! Action! Action!" in my Ace Combat 5 review, I decided to poke fun at it in the following two AC reviews, using "Combat! Combat! Combat!" in Ace Combat Zero and "Bigger! Bigger! Bigger!" in Ace Combat 6.
Extra: Favorite Ace Combat Themes
I'm not gonna list them all, because... I can't remember some of them.
One of the best, hell, possibly the best tune in the series, plays during the last mission of Ace Combat Zero:
If you're going "wtf" to this next one, stick with it, because it keeps building:
The start of this next video isn't the start of the theme, but it was the best, sound-wise, I could find on YouTube:
Out of all the Ace Combats, AC2 had the most catchy soundtrack:
User: WilltheGreat
Posted: May 25, 2010 (09:02 AM)
Funny story: The first AC game I ever played was AC5, and after renting it for a weekend I was like "Holy shit this game is awesome". So I ran out and bought AC0, assuming it would be about as good.
It wasn't nearly, of course. I ended up not touching it after about a week. Then, some time later, I spotted AC4 in a bargain bin. "Maybe AC5 is one of those games that just had a subpar sequel, like MoO2," thought. "I bet its immediate predecessor is better than its sequel, and has split-screen multiplayer to boot".
It was better, but still not quite as good even with multiplayer. Like you said, they went to town with 5, and I think having that as my first experience with the series spoiled me. I keep hoping I'll spot AC5 on a Used Games shelf somewhere...
User: pickhut
Posted: May 25, 2010 (09:20 AM)
Heh, yeah, if someone were to tell me they only wanted to play one Ace Combat title, I would tell them to go with Ace Combat 5.
Unless they hate constant chatter on the radio. >_>

It has been 150 years since Victor Hugo's novel Les Miserables was first published.

Burn Center
Burn Telemedicine Program
The Burn Telemedicine Program at University Healthcare was started in 2004 with a grant from the State of Utah, and expanded in 2006 with a grant from the US Department of Commerce. It currently performs over 300 video consultations yearly throughout our region, reaching over 40 sites in the Intermountain West. Through video conferencing equipment, burn doctors can see patients remotely, allowing them to assess wounds and make recommendations based on what they see. They can also support post-operative patients who have returned to their homes that are distant from Salt Lake City. We currently have telemedicine sites in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Wyoming. If you are interested in referring a patient for this program, please contact the Burn Telemedicine Coordinator at (801) 585-7073.
In addition to our videoconferencing capabilities, many physicians have utilized the Burn Program's "Store and Forward" consultation service using digital photographs for immediate consultation and advice about smaller injuries. This process simply involves emailing pictures of the wound to our burn doctors. Our doctors will then give medical advice based on the photographs viewed. If you are interested in using this service, please contact the Burn Unit Charge Nurse at (801) 581-2700. Download the Telemedicine consent form.
How do I make a telemedicine appointment?
- Have your physician contact Chelsea Gamero at (801) 585-7073. Please understand that our physicians require a referral for patients to be seen in the Burn telemedicine clinic.
What facility will I go to for my appointment?
- We will try to make your telemedicine appointment at a facility as close to your residence as possible. In Idaho, we have a standing Wednesday telemedicine clinic in conjunction with St. Alphonsus in Boise. In Montana and Wyoming, there are various sites throughout the state with telemedicine capabilities.
Will insurance cover my telemedicine visit?
- It is always best to contact your insurance company to ensure this service is covered, but most of the time insurance does cover the visit.
What can I expect from my first telemedicine appointment?
- You will be taken into a clinic room where your dressings will be removed and then the burn doctor will see you via video conference. He or she will assess the wounds and explain instructions for follow-up care. Upon ending the video conference, your wounds will be re-dressed and your appointment will be completed. You will be contacted with a date and time for your next telemedicine appointment.

No, I don't have my students yet, the undergrads I'm referring to live all around me. They are "upperclassmen" if they even deserve the title.
I would start with a picture of team front-lawn-beer-pong-overlooking-construction but I can't find the cord to get such images off my digital camera.
But team-front-lawn-beer-pong is pretty much harmless except for the Coors Light cans that end up rolling under my Honda.
At 5 a.m. this morning someone starts banging on my door.
5: 18 a.m. to be exact.
I am immediately awake.
My leap from sleep is made even more sudden and startling by the fact that I'm sleeping on the futon in the living room not my bed. Last night at 1 a.m. I gave up trying to sleep in my bedroom because of the crazy bass coming through the wall and went to the living room where it was quieter. That music was so loud that I could occasionally even hear the treble.
Meanwhile, at 5:18 this guy is still knocking.
I grab my robe and finally open the door a hand span. There is a guy who looks no older than 17 with this crazy messy blond hair wearing gym shorts and nothing else.
He tells me that he was going to smoke, nods at the open apartment door across the hall, and said he was wondering if I'd like to join him.
This is my new neighbor. Oh.
I've never seen this guy before, that apartment was empty when I moved in, so my best bet is that he's just trying to be neighborly by sharing his weed and has no frickin concept that it is already 5 a.m.
I was polite, told him I had to work in the morning. He was apologetic for waking me. We didn't exchange names.
I went back to bed -- real bed this time -- because even the people with the uber-loud music weren't up at 5 a.m.

I Hate Undergrads

I thought I had a level head, but it looks as though you've got me beat. Long ago, I gave up being patient with rude/creepy/inconsiderate strangers. I'd have said, "Are you f***ing serious?" and then told him to bugger off. Jeez, I thought it was part of stoner etiquette to start by introducing oneself to people at a decent hour, THEN issue smoking invitations later.
Hope you managed to get some good sleep!

Mitchell: The n-word shouldn't be used by anyone
BY MARY MITCHELL firstname.lastname@example.com June 27, 2013 12:18PM
In this publicity image released by NBC, celebrity chef Paula Deen appears on NBC News' "Today" show, with host Matt Lauer, Wednesday, June 26, 2013 in New York. Deen dissolved into tears during a "Today" show interview Wednesday about her admission that she used a racial slur in the past. The celebrity chef, who had backed out of a "Today" interview last Friday, said she was not a racist and was heartbroken by the controversy that began with her own deposition in a lawsuit.

Updated: July 30, 2013 7:55AM
Paula Deen is Exhibit A in the case against black people who are still using the n-word.
In her tearful interview with "Today's" Matt Lauer, Deen appeared to defend herself against allegations that she used the racial slur by pointing out that black people who worked in the kitchens at her restaurants frequently used the word.
"It's very distressing for me to go into my kitchens and I hear what these young people are calling each other. . . . Because I think for this problem to be worked on, that these young people are going to have to take control and start showing respect for each other and not throwing that word at each other. It makes my skin crawl," an emotional Deen said.
It was the one thing that rang true for me in the entire interview. I feel the same way when I hear young black people call each other n - - - - -.
While I have no doubt that Deen is trying to save her own hide, she raised a point that some of us have been raising for years.
As long as black people are calling each other n - - - - -, we can't really expect white people to get bent out of shape when another white person gets called out for uttering the slur.
When black people use the n-word, it gives cover to people like Deen.
If Deen's use of the racial slur is enough to taint her as a racist, then shouldn't we be as hard on the black comedians and rappers who use the word?
So it's not surprising that despite Deen's fall from grace, her supporters are lining up to eat at her restaurants and are putting pressure on the companies that have decided to disassociate themselves from the popular cooking star.
I understand the arguments blacks make about why they can use the word and non-blacks cannot.
For instance in a tweet from kings_coaching, he argues that Deen does not have the right to ever use the slur:
"[W]hether we like it or not the word has many connotations; the way she used it was demeaning . . ." .
Granted. But black people also use the n-word to demean others.
The ugly word may not pack the same punch when it comes from the lips of a black person, but it still shows a huge amount of disrespect.
So much so that in 2007, the NAACP made a big show of symbolically burying the n-word at its national convention. The mock funeral included a coffin, flowers and a headstone. Both Jesse Jackson Sr. and Al Sharpton challenged the entertainment industry to stop using the slur. The industry just blew them off and kept churning out lyrics that spew the n-word and a host of other obscenities.
Too few black people seem to care that an 80-year-old grandmother is forced to listen to this century-old slur when she's trying to get to church on Sunday mornings and some idiot drives past with the car windows rolled down and filthy lyrics blaring.
And too few black people are upset by the fact that black youngsters don't appear to have a clue about the word's racist roots.
I'm sure white teachers who have worked in schools with a predominantly black population have heard this rancid word so many times they are no longer shocked by it.
In fact, the only people being held accountable for the using the n-word continues to be white people.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing Deen's use of the racial slur, though it doesn't surprise me that someone who came of age in the Jim Crow South would have referred to black people as n - - - - -.
My point is: To persecute one group of people for using the slur while giving another group a pass is a double standard, and people resent double standards.
Thus, instead of the Deen controversy sparking an honest dialogue about race, it is likely to drive a deeper wedge between the races.
Those who are genuinely offended by racist language need to take a stand no matter who uses the n-word — not just when a high-profile white person gets caught in a racial firestorm.
The n-word should leave a bad aftertaste regardless who says it.

John JohnsonJOHN JOHNSON was a Salford tailor who carried the gospel of reform into darkest Yorkshire - then helped to organise the abortive Blanketeers March of 1817 and went to prison for his troubles.
It started with a public meeting on St Peter's Fields, Manchester, on October 28th, 1816, called to launch Manchester Constitutional Society - the city's version of a Hampden Club - when a crowd estimated at 50,000 heard Johnson back a call for reduced Government expenditure and action to relieve distress in the manufacturing regions.
On December 16th, a meeting of all North-West Hampden Clubs at Middleton appointed "missionaries" to visit all part of the country "where the nature and the cause of our distress have not been publicly asserted and its remedy insisted upon."
Johnson was sent into Yorkshire the following month and was lecturing in Huddersfield by the 18th, but he was back in Manchester in time to organise the Blanketeers' march. The idea was to carry a petition to the Prince Regent, asking him to intervene to relieve the distress of handloom weavers, to promote reform and to end the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act.
Johnson, along with fellow planners John Bagguley and Samuel Drummond, addressed a meeting on St Peter's Fields on March 3rd, and three days later spoke at a meeting of the Constitutional Society at New Islington Hall, Ancoats.
Spies were present at that meeting, however, and on March 9th, the day before the march was due to start, Johnson and another conspirator, William Ogden (the printer who produced the handbills advertising the march), were arrested.
After the Blanketeers were routed by the military, Johnson was sent to Dorchester Jail, where he was locked up for nearly two years without trial. In his absence the Hampden Clubs, fearful of increasing Government repression, went underground. Some of them masqueraded as benefit societies while, in Oldham, meetings were described as "mowfin aetins" - members ate muffins while they talked about reform.
Battling Johnson was released in January, 1818, and went straight to court to try to gain redress, with predictable results.
Undaunted, he returned to Manchester to continue his fight for reform, teaming up again with Bagguley and Drummond. After a summer of strikes and discontent in Manchester, he was arrested again in September, 1818, prompting Home Secretary Lord Sidmouth to crow: "The combination at Manchester is now nearly dissolved and tranquility is completely restored."
The trio were tried at Chester Assizes on April 15th, 1819, and served two years in jail, despite a 4,550-strong petition demanding a re-trial.
Robert SoutheyPOET Robert Southey was a romantic radical who in his younger days harboured idealistic notions of building a communist society. But the early fire soon cooled and he ended up living on a Government allowance.
Southey was born in Bristol in 1774 and was expelled from Westminster School after writing an article in the school magazine denouncing the practice of flogging.
Southey became a close friend of fellow-poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge and at one point, the pair planned to emigrate to America to set up a commune. But the scheme came to nothing and instead they collaborated on writing a play with a radical theme, The Fall of Robespierre.
In 1808, Southey used the pseudonym Don Manuel Alvarez Espriella to write Letters From England, an account of a tour of the country supposedly from a foreigner's perspective, and his comments on Manchester are worth repeating. "In size and population," he says, "it is the second city in the United Kingdom, containing above four-score thousand inhabitants.
"Imagine this multitude crowded together in narrow streets, the houses all built of brick and blackened with smoke; frequent buildings among them as large as convents ... where you hear from within ... the everlasting din of machinery; and where, when the bell rings, it is to call wretches to their work instead of to their prayers."
He describes a visit to a cotton mill that employed many children. The guide "dwelt with delight on the infinite good which resulted from employing them at so early an age," and told him: 'In most parts of England, poor children are a burthen to their parents and to the parish; here the parish, which would else have to support them, is rid of all expense; they get
'There is no idleness among us; they come at five in the morning; we allow them half an hour for breakfast and an hour for dinner; they leave work at six and another set relieves them for the night; the wheels never stand still.'
Southey comments: "I thought that, if Dante had peopled one of his hells with children, here was a scene worthy to have supplied him with new images of torment."
However, Southey soon lost his firebrand image and as early as 1807, he was given an annual allowance by the Government. Four years later, he accepted the position of poet laureate, a decision which led Lord Byron and William Hazlett to claim he had sold his principles.
Joseph BrothertonJOSEPH Brotherton was Salford's inaugural MP following the city's enfranchisement by the 1832 Parliamentary Reform Act, and besides playing a major part in the adoption of the 10-Hour Bill, he was also a prime mover in the founding of Salford's public library, the country's first free municipal library.
Brotherton was born on May 22nd, 1783, to an excise officer who later opened a cotton mill in Copperas Street, Shudehill, Manchester. When his father opened another mill in Oldfield Road, Salford, the youngster went to work there and experienced at first hand the tough life of the cotton operatives. His own life, by comparison, was easier but he was such a good worker that he was promoted foreman by the time he was 17.
He was a partner by 1802 and took over the business when his father died in 1809. By 1819, when he was 36, he had made enough money to retire, allowing him to concentrate first on his religion and later, on politics.
One of his first successes was in investigating and exposing corruption in the administration of Salford charities for the poor. He went on to win that first parliamentary election in 1832 and was-re-elected on five further occasions.
He joined the fight for the improvement of working conditions for child operatives and was one of the supporters of the 10-Hour Bill, which was brought in 1847. Earlier, in 1835, he had helped in the drafting of the Museums Act, which gave local authorities the power to establish museums.
He was a leading member of a parliamentary committee which steered through the Public Libraries Act of 1850, but by then, Salford already had its own library - Brotherton had been a prime mover in its opening in Peel Park in January that year.
He died in January, 1857.
Major John CartwrightKNOWN as the "Father of Reform", John Cartwright (1740-1824) was the elder brother of the Rev Edmund Cartwright, inventor of the powered loom.
He served in the Royal Navy between 1758 and 1770, then joined Nottinghamshire militia as a major before taking up the cause of reform. His advocacy of annual parliaments, the secret ballot and manhood suffrage, first outlined in his pamphlet Take Your Choice! published in 1776, pre-dated Chartism, which made similar demands, by many years.
In 1812, Cartwright formed the first Hampden Club - named after a prominent Parliamentary leader of the English Civil war and designed to bring together middle-class moderates and working-class radicals in the cause of reform. He toured the North West later that year to promote the idea, and again in 1813 - when he was arrested in Huddersfield - and 1815.
Samuel Bamford formed the first Hampden Club in Lancashire at Middleton in 1816, and others followed at Manchester, Oldham, Ashton, Stockport and Rochdale.
Cartwright also took an interest in agrarian reform and the abolition of slavery, and his activities earned him a Ł100 fine for sedition in 1820. But his enthusiasm for reform did not stop him taking shares in his brother's factory, whose machines did so much to destroy the livelihoods of so many handloom weavers.

Shae is a young woman who was a camp follower and has come into the service of Tyrion Lannister.
- See also: Images of Shae
Shae is short and very pretty, with large dark eyes and black hair.[2]
Shae ran off when her father attempted to turn her into his kitchen wench and his whore.[3]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Shae was serving as a camp follower with Lord Tywin Lannister's army, when Bronn brought her to Tyrion, who was looking for a female companion before the Battle[2]. Tyrion slept with her both before and after the battle, took a liking to her and decided to take her with him to King's Landing despite his father's explicit command not to take the whore to court.[4]
A Clash of Kings
Upon arrival in King's Landing, Shae was set up at a house in the city, Since Tyrion could not bring her to court, already defying his father in bringing her to King's Landing. Tyrion makes frequent use of Shae's services, relegating her to a role as his exclusive companion, and finds his feelings for her are very strong. Tyrion believes that he has finally gotten over his first wife, and the need for whoring,
|I'm free of Tysha now. She's haunted me half my life, but I don't need her any more, no more than I need Alayaya or Dancy or Marei, or the hundreds like them I've bedded with over the years. I have Shae now. Shae.[5]
Recognizing that her presence in King's Landing is a weapon his adversaries could use against him, he takes pains to keep her safe and secret, though her presence is immediately known to Varys, who on several occasions facilitates their trysts. First Tyrion keeps her in a manse in the city where they can rendezvous in secret.
With the approach of Stannis Baratheon's army and the breaking out of several riots in the city, Tyrion came to fear for her safety and moves her to the Red Keep, finding her a cover job as a maid of Lollys Stokeworth, while he continues to see her.[3]
A Storm of Swords
After Tyrion was married to Sansa Stark, Shae was made a maid of Sansa's so that she could continue to be close to Tyrion. Tyrion was worried about her safety, however, and is torn between sending her away and marrying her off in order to avoid Cersei's suspicions. Eventually he decides to arrange a marriage between Shae and Ser Tallad.[6] Before he can act, however, Tyrion is charged with murdering King Joffrey.
During Tyrion's trial, Shae betrays Tyrion by lying that he conspired with Sansa to murder King Joffrey and Lord Tywin, revealing the full and intimate details of their affair - including her pet name for him as her "Giant of Lannister"; in exchange for her testimony Cersei Lannister offered her a manse in King's Landing and a knight to wed.
Shae was in Lord Tywin's bed when Tyrion arrived in Tywin's chambers, after his escape from the Black Cells. He strangles her to death with his father's golden chain of office.[7]
A Feast for Crows
Her body was discovered in the bed where Tyrion had left her. Cersei ordered the disposal of her corpse to be handled by the Kettleblacks and that her presence in the chambers of the Hand of the King be kept secret.[8]
Quotes by Shae
|My mother named me Shae. Men call me... often.[2]
|Shae: M'lord looks fearsome.
Tyrion: M'lord looks a dwarf in mismatched armor, but I thank you for your kindness.[2]
– Shae and Tyrion Lannister, before the Battle of the Green Fork
Quotes about Shae
|Shae may only be a whore, but I am faithful to her after my fashion.[9]
|You knew what she was.[10]
