You know a joke is over when some one makes a t-shirt out of it. But it's really over when the person who the joke's about makes a t-shirt out of it. And it's totally dead and buried when the word "team" is associated with the joke at all. Case in point: this picture of Brandon Davis wearing a Team Firecrotch t-shirt yesterday. Sure when he coined the term firecrotch on a video-taped Lohan rant about a month ago, it was a laugh riot and we'll admit we even considered a few quick t-shirt ideas involving in the phrase. But some one beat us too the punch, and we're glad he did. Because by the time this shirt was designed, silkscreened and shipped back to Davis(as per his order), he might as well have been wearing a shirt that said "I'm Rick James, Bitch." So it looks like Brandon's officially marked the end of the joke by wearing this shirt. Yup V-neck T's aren't funny anymore, they're back to simply being unflattering. (via ONTD)

Speaking of shows coming back for more, Celebrity DeathMatch returns tonight… for some reason. Did people actually miss it or something? Hmm, strange.

SIZZLER: Kevin's New Career
After last night's heartbreaking interview with Britney Spears, I've changed my tune and now I'm rooting for the Federlines. So naturally, I was thrilled to see that Kevin's making great strides in his career. Page Six reported today that he's going to be the spokesman for Blue Marlin Clothing Line, a sporty designer label that customizes shirts, hats and sweatshirts with the names of different geographical locations. And even though he's going to be raking in the dough, the ambitious Federline is not stopping there.
He also is gunning to star in an 8 mile style biopic about his life. Word is the movie would follow Kevin's meteoric rise from a talented yet troubled ghetto hustler to spokesman for Blue Marlin Clothing Line, a sporty designer label that customizes shirts, hats and sweatshirts with the names of different geographical locations.
WINNER: Angelina By A Nose Baby
Aniston vs. Angelina– the battle never ends.
By sheer coincidence, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie tied for 35th place on Forbes' Celebrity 100 Power List. I mean, seriously, what are the odds? Luckily, one of my favorite must-visit-several-times-a-day sites, Blog NYC, put together an incredibly detailed, intricate checklist to see who's actually winning the game of life.
You can't argue that, people. It's science.

Astros 1
(39-81, 27-33 home)
Coverage: FSSW
8:05 PM ET, August 17, 2012
Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
HOUSTON -- With more than 100 family and friends in attendance, Arizona starter Wade Miley wanted to put on a good show Friday night and help his team build on a comeback win a night earlier.
Done and done.Miley pitched six solid innings and drove in a run to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night."Didn't come easy for sure, but Wade held us in there, six strong innings," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "We kind of scratched and clawed three runs out of this game."Miley hit a sacrifice bunt and Chris Young doubled in a run in the fifth for Arizona, which has won seven consecutive games against the Astros. Paul Goldschmidt added another RBI double in the eighth.Many of Miley's relatives and friends drove five hours from his hometown of Hammond, La., to watch him."I heard them," Miley said. "It was fun."Houston has dropped four of five to fall to 6-28 since the All-Star break. The Astros are 39-81 overall for the worst record in the majors.Jose Altuve and Ben Francisco had two hits apiece, and Tyler Greene hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth for Houston's only run.Miley (13-8) allowed eight hits, struck out five and walked none in his first win since July 31 at Los Angeles. The left-hander was 0-2 with a 3.48 ERA in his previous two starts."It was a battle," said Miley, who had trouble locating his fastball. "But any time you get a win is a good day."Brad Ziegler, Daniel Hernandez and J.J. Putz each worked a one-hit inning to close it out. Putz struck out Steve Pearce with a runner at second for his 15th straight save and 24th overall.The Astros were held to two runs or fewer for the third time in four games, despite outhitting Arizona 11-6. Houston stranded 10 and went 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position."Anytime you get 11 hits and only score one run, there's going to be some frustrations coming through," Astros manager Brad Mills said.Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel (1-5) gave up two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings, but remained winless since June 23 at Cleveland. He is 0-5 with a 6.18 ERA in his last eight starts.Houston, which has struggled at the plate for much of the season, came close to being shut out for the 12th time.Greene's one-out fly ball to center was deep enough for Marwin Gonzalez to score, cutting Arizona's lead in half."We haven't been very good winning games in which we haven't scored a lot of runs, but last two nights have been very good," Gibson said. "We hope that continues."Game notes
Diamondbacks OF Jason Kubel was scratched with a sore neck. ... 3B Chris Johnson faced his former team for the first time since the Astros traded him on July 28 for minor leaguers Bobby Borchering and Marc Krauss. Johnson went 0 for 3 with a walk. ... Former Astros knuckleballer Joe Niekro was enshrined into the Astros Walk of Fame outside Minute Maid Park. Niekro pitched for the Astros from 1975-1985. He died in 2006 at age 61.

In Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Nicolas Cage will eat your damn…
Before you see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, consider the following question: "Does the mantra 'Put the bunny back in the box?' make the tiny follicles on the nape of my neck stand up?"
The best Nic Cage quote in the history of Nic Cage quotes
Bless Nic Cage and his never ending supply of lunatic theories and philosophies. But the latest batch of Cage philosophy might be his best quote yet, as the uber-acting god explains how he got into character as the flame-headed Ghost Rider.
Can the latest Ghost Rider 2 trailer overcome the film's bad buzz?
According to a few online reports a special screening of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance at the BNAT was met with a resounding "meh." Mostly due to the muddled script, and the seen-it-before characters. However the Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor did get a lot of praise for their daredevil camera…
Marvel resurrects the New Fantastic Four with X-23, Red Hulk, Venom,…
Remember the New Fantastic Four, a short-lived 1990 incarnation of the team featuring Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk, and Ghost Rider? Next February, Marvel Comics will pay homage to that wacky roster with a story arc in Venom starring Red Hulk, Venom, X-23, and Ghost Rider.
First clip from Ghost Rider shows off Nic Cage's new "hellified" ride
Now that we know that everything Nic Cage rides as Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider 2 becomes hellified (even, er, ladies) let's take a look at his hellified motorcycle in this first-ever clip form Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which premiered last night at the Scream Awards.

Having seen it developed from the ground up, I can assure you that every decision has been made with the intent to improve the training quality and experience.

Aircraft ownership could not have been made easier without the guidance of Coast's Pre-Purchase services! I purchased my SR22 Turbo through Coast and have had it under Coast management since 2008. I can rely on a valet service that an owner would expect. Coast treats the airplane as though it was their personal aircraft and maintains the highest standards!

He guys!
So I guess you want to keep the original title of "The Chronicles of Bucky O' Neal" . . . I have another decision that I need your help with.
In this comic . . .our hero, Bucky, an 11 year old gamer who wants to make his own game review magazine called "The Prescott Game Chronicles" where he reviews the latest 8-bit (the setting for this comic in in the 80's mind you) video games and sell it at school to the students, but another student will also make a rival magazine called "Rad Gaming".
So here's my question . . . should I allow real games, say Metroid or Castlevania, or make up my own games? Do you think I could get in trouble for having real games in my comic?
BTW the comic will finally kick off this week!

Bundle me – moving accounting from an annual fee to a monthly fee
The bundling of client fees among accountants is starting to become more mainstream. I started using bundles with my clients almost 10 years ago. With Xero it makes it so much easier to be connected to your client because there is no data transfer and you have limitless access to your client's main business productivity tool, their accounting system.
As an accountant if you use Xero as a 'Single Ledger' you'll be saving time on core compliance work because there is no data friction. In a nutshell the Single Ledger is the same ledger used by business owners to run their business and it's the same ledger used by accountants to prepare Management Reports and Annual Reports. So if you stay on the old time and cost model, it makes sense that you would bill for less. The solution is to move to an agreed fee base from the outset. This way clients know upfront exactly what they're up for. It's also an opportunity to be able offer services beyond compliance and give real business advice.
A bundle is like a shopping list, which your client can chose from. You charge a monthly fee for the provision of these services. Great examples of accounting practices that offer bundles successfully include Cloud Accountants and Interactive Accountants.
The main benefit to your client is fee certainty, which is the number one reason why your client avoids calling you now – they're afraid how much this might cost. If you introduce an agreed monthly fee to your clients they will respond positively to it. Every accountant I have even spoken to who has done this, says clients love it.
So how do you make it happen?
Step One
Create your bundles (tailored selections of services), plus your terms of agreement and a proposal document.
Step Two
When you do end-of-year reports, decide which bundle would best suit each client and create a proposal for them.
Step Three
At the year-end meeting with your client, present the bundle and explain why you think it is best for them. Also show them the full list of services you offer and another couple of bundle options. Talk them through how the new service would work and answer any questions.
Step Four
The client agrees for you to deliver the new service bundle to them.
If you follow these steps you should have all your clients on bundles within a year. We'd be keen to hear what's worked for you when offering bundles to clients.

Nice blog, thanks for the mention. I'd Like to add the following, if I may:
– Change > Remember, change is hard. Letting the opportunity to change pass you by is a lot harder to swallow then trying your hand at something new. Revolution is a form of natural progression.
– Is there risk? Yes. – Where there is risk, there is also reward. Be prepared to learn + embrace the lessons learned and innovate.
As a firm interactive accounting now gets more leads in a week then a mid tier usually does in a month and 80% of those are cold leads. New people, we've never met or engaged…. It's brilliant.
Best of luck to one and all heading down the path of fixed fees and regularly billing, it's an exciting journey!
Great blog Hamish, couldn't agree with you more. Such potential and possibility with this approach to billing. Happy clients are a product that every business should strive for and this is one of the many ways to do it.
Excellent blog Hamish – to add to the thread Bookkeepers and Consultants are also adopting this method as more a clients are embracing the cloud – we are doing what we are trained to do and that is assist clients with conversions, GST compliance & bookkeeping issues and not having to worry about installing software upgrades
Great point Hamish, I am trying to bring all my new clients into this monthly package now. $3000 a year or $250 a month.
$250 will deliver much better value but I am more efficient. The key here is Xero!
As Gillian mentioned, bookkeepers are also moving toward monthly fixed fees. I've found both my clients and myself are so much happier with the change. In fact, I find it quite a liberating way to work!

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) promises to greatly simplify the management of networks as we know it by leveraging standard x86 server and merchant silicon to turn a broad swath of physical network appliances into applications.
But before any of that can broadly happen the providers of x86 servers and merchant silicon need to find a way to play nice with one another.
With that goal in mind work has begun on a proposed OpenNFV standard that will make it easier to deploy NFV software on any platform regardless of what processor is running inside it.

Ok here is my situation...
- I drive about 100 miles a day round trip to work. I do not make stops along the way.
- I work on a military base that says it is Ok to bring a handgun onboard as long as it is unloaded and the ammo is at least an arms length away.
- I can not take my weapon into the building once I arrive at work.
- I do not want to wear an empty holster all day.
Here is my question/idea....
- Since I dont want to wear an empty holster all day, I am thinking on leaving it in the console unloaded with the ammo in the glove box. I could lock it in a lock box and secure it under the seat.
-I want it in the console while I drive, it would do no good to be in a locked box under the seat while driving. My console is a small arm rest that is just big enough to put my .45 in, I may need to fabricate something for it.
-If I carry a round in the chamber (I am a strong supporter of carrying a round in the chamber), I will have to pull over before entering the base to unload.
-If I were to do either of those, then I am stuck holsterless if I ever had to make a stop.
** Any suggestions or experience?????? **

Kelly, you've done a lot of threads to liven up the board, I thought I'd add one.
What are your favourite books:
1. Of the year? (so anything read so far in 2011)
2. Within the last couple years?
3. Of all time?
4. Favourite series?
5. Favourite book from within a series? (may be, but doesn't have to be, from your favourite series)
6. Favourite Non-Fiction?
7. Favourite Genres?
8. Favourite Children's books?
9. Favourite Adaption of a Book to a Movie?
10. Favourite character?
I know that you're probably like me, with only a few minutes at a time usually to come online, so feel free to answer just a couple at a time, whatever you can think of and have time for. They're numbered so you can come back and answer others at other times. Maybe that will help us get this board going a bit! Also, we can come back and answer again if answers change - - #1 could change a lot, or you might remember a book later you'd forgotten about that you liked more than the answer you wrote.
Also, feel free to add new numbers for people to answer. When I see them I'll add them to the original list. Have fun!
Here are some of mine:
1. Hmmm...I have a few I really enjoyed this year, not sure what would stand out most. Maybe "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal". Although I also loved "Room" by Emma Donoghue and "The Morality of Animals" by Dale Peterson.
2. "The Book of Negroes" by Lawrence Hill (In the US is called "Someone Knows My Name") and "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel were huge faves.
More later!
Awesome thread, Stephanie!
What are your favourite books:
1. Of the year? (so anything read so far in 2011)
My favorite read so far this year was Beautiful Creatures! Loved the characters and can't wait for book 3 later this year!
2. Within the last couple years? I loved The Help by Kathryn Stockett and The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins
3. Of all time? That is terribly hard. I always say Gone With the Wind, in reality though I've only read it once, so I'm not sure it should hold that spot. There are only a few books that I've read multiple times. I think I'll have to give favorites and not just one.
In no particular order:
The Giver
Midwives by Chris Bohjalian
The Red Tent
Hunger Games series
Twilight series
The Thirteenth Tale
The Help
Wait Till Helen Comes
Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
Caster Chronicles (Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness)
4. Favourite series? Hunger Games & Twilight. Caster Chronicles is way up there too!
5. Favourite book from within a series? (may be, but doesn't have to be, from your favourite series) I liked Twilight from the Twilight series and Hunger Games is my favorite from the Hunger Games series.
6. Favourite Non-Fiction? I really don't read much in the way of non-fiction.
7. Favourite Genres? I just enjoy fiction in gerneral. I do tend to read quite a bit of YA, and a great deal of it seems to be paranormal. I also tend to enjoy books with strong female protagonists.
8. Favourite Children's books? Guess How Much I love You
The Giver
9. Favourite Adaption of a Book to a Movie? Favorite is hard, but I can tell you two least faves! I hate Twilight and The Lightning Thief. Both could have been done so much better. I did like the movie adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife. Gone With the Wind is one that comes to mind as well.
10. Favourite character?
In recent reads:
Katniss Everdeen & Cinna in Hunger Games
Alice Cullen in the Twilight series
Minny and Abilene in The Help
Scarlett O'Hara - Gone With the Wind

Adding a few more to my list: (I decided on a new post so you would know it was updated)
3. Of all time?
This one is definitely tough, I agree. I'm going to have to come back to it.
4. Favourite series?
Oh, but there are so many, lol.
*The Narnia Series - An all-time fave for sure.
*Twilight - Putting the hype aside, I really did enjoy this series, and read it voraciously. I have to honestly put it in with my faves, even if it means my husband teases me incessantly, LOL.
*The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy (the trilogy in five books, lol). Another all-time fave.
*The Griffin and Sabine series by Nick Bantok. If you haven't read it, READ IT!
*Shopaholic Series -- A guilty pleasure. I LOVED the most recent book so much.
Honorable mentions to The Hunger Games Trilogy and the Clan of the Cave Bear series - although I haven't finished that one.
5. Favourite book from within a series? (may be, but doesn't have to be, from your favourite series)
Narnia - - I always loved The Magician's Nephew. Not sure why!
Twilight - - Breaking Dawn. So much happened, it was crazy!
Griffin and Sabine - - Hard to choose. Probably the first one, just because it was the first and it's so incredibly unique.
Hitchhikers' Guide - - Probably the first one.
Shopaholic - - Definitely Mini Shopaholic!!
6. Favourite Non-Fiction?
Two books by Peter Hessler: Oracle Bones and Country Driving. Fascinating yet hilarious.
7. Favourite Genres?
Historical Fiction and Memoirs are favourites, Young Adult and Chick Lit are guilty pleasure favourite, but I could probably come up with a book I've loved from just about every genre.
More another time!
It's so much fun to read your choices Kelly! The Giver is on my to-read, but I'm really looking forward to it seeing how many of your lists it made. The Thirteenth Tale and The Help were awesome books, and I have been recommending them all over the place, LOL.
I hated the Twilight movie compared to the book too. I did not like the feel they gave the movie, and I don't know if it was the acting, directing, or a combination, but the main characters did not do it justice. I liked some of the other actors they chose, but I think it could have been done so much better.
Looking forward to the Hunger Games movie, but I am wondering how they'll do with that one??
Love reading your choices too! I just read The Giver a couple of years ago for the first time. Can't believe I'd never read it before. Should be on school reading lists for sure!
Initially, I didn't mind the Twilight movie, as much as I did after seeing the second and third. I think it is that I realized fully how much better it could have been. Of course 2 & 3 had much better budgets, etc.
I'm also looking very forward to The Hunger Games movie. I thought the casting of Lenny Kravitz for Cinna was brilliant. I was a little perplexed at the casting of Katniss, but after seeing clips of the actress in Winter's Bone (or something like that), I think they made a nice choice. I just really hope they stick as close to the story as possible, and then they can't go wrong!
8. Favourite Children's books?
I have so many! For older children, I love most books by Roald Dahl and also The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. So many more, but those are definitely some top ones. For picture books, the Olivia books are great. My all-time favourite Dr. Seuss book is "The Sneeches and Other Stories". If you have little kids you HAVE to get it. I love all four of the stories soooo much, and they make me laugh. The last story is about "...a pair of pale green pants with nobody inside them." The main character keeps running into them. My favourite line: "I said I do not fear these pale green pants with nobody inside them. I said and said and said these words. I said them...but I lied them." LOL!
9. Favourite Adaption of a Book to a Movie?
I think they did the Harry Potter movies really well. And The Princess Bride is a fantastic movie. The humour was very well done. Mandy Patinkin is the best, lol.
10. Favourite character?
Pope Joan was a fascinating character, especially since she could have been a real person! (Great book, highly recommended.) The main character in Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story was very interesting, and I really cared about her. Another book you HAVE to read! I loved Ella in Ella Minnow Pea.
So many good books, so little time! LOL!
Ok, here are some new questions: (Note I now write "books" instead of "book". It's so hard to come up with just one, lol!)
1. Favourite books to read over and over again.
2. Books you didn't expect to love - - but you did!
3. Favourite guilty pleasure books - - the ones you get made fun of for reading but still loved!
4. Book you are currently the most tempted to buy.
1. Favourite books to read over and over again. I very rarely read a book more than once because there is always something that I haven't read that I want to. I have read/listened to all of the Twilight series multiple times. Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn a couple of times. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair a couple of times (mainly for History courses in HS and college though.)
There are a few books I'd like to read again, and plan to one of these days. They include: Gone With the Wind, Hunger Games series, Midwives, The Thirteenth Tale, The Giver, I know there are more, but those are the main ones I can think of.
2. Books you didn't expect to love - - but you did! Most recently, The Luxe series. They are much better than I expected. I also really loved Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness. I hated to finish both of those, and am dying to get my hands on Beautiful Chaos later this year when it comes out. I read Hunger Games because my daughter recommended it, I really didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. A Thousand Splendid Suns surprised me, because I couldn't even finish The Kite Runner by the same author. Twilight is another I didn't expect to like, but loved. Read it after a friend sent it to me. I could really go on here because I've been surprised by a lot of books.
3. Favourite guilty pleasure books - - the ones you get made fun of for reading but still loved! Twilight series. The Luxe are pretty guilty pleasureish too because they are kind of like Gossip Girl gone historical. Really I feel a little odd everytime I make a bee line for the kids section of my local library, as that is where the YA stuff is. Maybe I should just take my kids along, then it wouldn't look quite as odd. LoL
4. Book you are currently the most tempted to buy.
Wither by Lauren DeStefano
The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain & The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes (my library and audible don't have either of her books)
What are your favourite books:
1. Of the year? (so anything read so far in 2011) Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris
2. Within the last couple years? The Sookie Stackhouse Novels by Charlaine Harris and Wings and Spells by Aprilynne Pike
3. Of all time? The Twilight Series!!
4. Favourite series? See #3!
5. Favourite book from within a series? (may be, but doesn't have to be, from your favourite series) Breaking Dawn (Twilight) by Stephanie Meyer
6. Favourite Non-Fiction? Anything by Glenn Beck
7. Favourite Genres? teen fiction
8. Favourite Children's books? the "poo" books (they're for the bathroom!)
9. Favourite Adaption of a Book to a Movie? Forrest Gump
10. Favourite character? Edward from Twilight... don't we wish all of our men were loving, supportive, attentive, respectful, and infatuated with us? That's why firls (and women) love this series so much! We want what's not real!!

Followed by | The Garden of the Prophet |
The Prophet is a book of 26 prose poetry essays written in English by the Lebanese artist, philosopher and writer Kahlil Gibran.[1] It was originally published in 1923 by Alfred A. Knopf. It is Gibran's best known work. The Prophet has been translated into over forty different languages[2] and has never been out of print.[3]
The prophet, Almustafa, has lived in the foreign city of Orphalese for 12 years and is about to board a ship which will carry him home. He is stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses topics such as life and the human condition. The book is divided into chapters dealing with love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death.
Research on sales figures is difficult to come by, but Kahlil Gibran is a very widely read poet in modern history, having been translated into well over 40 languages.[4] The Prophet is in its 163rd printing and has sold over 100 million copies[citation needed] since its original publication in 1923.[4] The Prophet is consistently in the best selling category (overall) at Amazon.[5] The Prophet is one of the best-selling books of all time.[citation needed]
Of an ambitious first printing of 2,000 in 1923, Knopf sold 1,159 copies. The demand for The Prophet doubled the following year — and doubled again the year after that. Since then, annual sales have risen steadily: from 12,000 in 1935 to 111,000 in 1961 to 240,000 in 1965.[6] The book sold its one millionth copy in 1957.[7] Worldwide, The Prophet sells more than 5000 copies a week.[6]
The book will be in the public domain in the United States in 2018[8] although it is already in the public domain in the European Union,[9] Canada,[10] Russia,[11] South Africa,[12] and Australia.[13]
Gibran instructed that on his death the royalties and copyrights to his materials be owned by his hometown, Bsharri, Lebanon.[6] The Gibran National Committee (GNC), located in Bsharri, manages the Gibran Museum. Founded in 1935, the GNC is a non-profit corporation holding the exclusive rights to manage the Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran's copyright in and to his literary and artistic works.[14] In 2009, the GNC granted exclusive rights to create a film based on The Prophet to Gibran: The Prophet, LLC, a group located in the United States.
Gibran followed The Prophet with The Garden of The Prophet, which was published posthumously in 1933.
The Garden of the Prophet narrates Almustafa's discussions with nine disciples following Almustafa's return after an intervening absence.

Worried about job opportunities
I will try to keep this short but today I had a terrible realization. About 5-6 years ago I injured my back while playing football as a sophomore in high school. The doctors never confirmed and called it a fractured vertabrae but they did say "something" was wrong in my l4-l5 area. I saw 3 different dr's and finally went to a chiropractor. The muscles in my back were almost horizontal as opposed to vertical and we did a lot of work on that. I have been going to the chiro ever since. Recently my back has gotten worse, nothing I cant deal with but still pretty painful none the less. I will be making an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon today and hopefully getting in there soon. Depending on what he says, could something of this nature basically nix me form becoming a FF?
I ask because I wouldnt know what to do if that is the case. I was at a 4 yr college and left to come home and get my A.A.S in fire science because I always knew I wanted to be a FF and to me that seemed like the best bet (in hindsight maybe it wasnt, but I wasnt very well informed). I am only 20 y/o so I do have time but this is what I want to do and I dont know what to do if something such as this can derail me.
Any advice or thoughts whether positive or negative would be greatly appreciated, I need to figure this out ASAP.
First of all, sorry to hear about your back. That's a tough spot to be in. To be honest, having a bum back can disqualify you from this line of work. A city is not going to hire someone who's got a hx of back problems, serious ones at that, that might get them or their crew injured or killed.
I'm sure you can see the wisdom in this, considering you could become a huge liability if your back goes out while attempting a search/rescue or extrication.
On the other hand, being only 20y/o, there's a chance you heal well enough to get a job and not have your back be an issue. I'm not educated enough on your circumstance, nor am I a Dr. who is treating you. So, it's tough to say.
Either way, be honest about your back when you apply or interview. If they ask. They might not. They might only go by how you do on the PAT and the physical that the City will have you go thru.
Also, if this doesn't pan out, keep in mind that there are other aspects to FFing than actual fire supression. There's education and prevention, as well as other areas that might not require serious physical exertion.
Just something to consider.

Thanks a lot pete. Physically I would have no problem passing a CPAT or something of the sort, I work out 5-6 days a week, well not recently, but I know that I could easily pass one, even in pain I would be able too because this is something that I have been dealing with for so long.It is just the physical that worries me, I did just recently pass a physical for a job on a private ambulance and was not even questioned. My only worry is if I spend years testing for fire departments and then learn that it will never happen, I would rather figure out my plan now while I have time. After I see the surgeon, do you think contacting local fire departments and asking what they would do with X,Y,Z back problems and just take it from there?
You need to see a neurosurgeon and stay away from chiropractors and orthopedics too.
I broke my back on the job in the L3 to S1 and had a rebuilding surgery and fusions by the best neurosurgeon in Virginia. He later did my neck surgery where the vertebras were messed up there.
You want someone who is very knowledgeable working on your back. I don't trust those other guys.
You have to disclosed any surgeries or condition of the present and pass when you apply for a job.Stay Safe and Well Out There....
Always remembering 9-11-2001 and 343+ Brothers
There will probably be a buncha guys disagreeing with what I'm about to say, but:
That is a sure way to aggrivate your back. Stay with studies, get a light duty job and keep up with low impact exercise.
I've never been a volunteer, but if it's experience you're looking for, I'd try to cultivate a relationship with volunteers in your area. Explain your situation and that you'd like to learn and have future references, but that you can't over reach for the time being.
Find another way to monitarily sustain yourself, but lifting pts can only lead to trouble.

Nfpa 1582
This may help also. My department requires the examining physician to follow NFPA 1582 when determining fitness for duty. 1582 has category A conditions and category B conditions. Basically if you have a category A the examiner is supposed to defer you from active firefighting. See below the category A conditions for spine issues.
6.13 Spine and Axial Skeleton.
6.13.1 Category A medical conditions shall include the following:
(1) Scoliosis of thoracic or lumbar spine with angle e40 degrees
(2) History of multiple spinal surgeries or spinal surgery involving fusion of more
than 2 vertebrae, diskectomy or laminectomy, or rods that are still in place
(3) Any spinal or skeletal condition producing sensory or motor deficit(s) or pain
due to radiculopathy or nerve root compression
(4) Any spinal or skeletal condition causing pain that frequently or recurrently
requires narcotic analgesic medication
(5) Cervical vertebral fractures with multiple vertebral body compression greater
than 25 percent; evidence of posterior element involvement, nerve root damage,
disc involvement, dislocation (partial, moderate, severe), abnormal exam,
ligament instability, symptomatic, and/or less than 6 months post injury or 1 year
since surgery
(6) Thoracic vertebral fractures with vertebral body compression greater than 50
percent; evidence of posterior element involvement, nerve root damage, disc
involvement, dislocation (severe with or without surgery), abnormal exam,
ligament instability, symptomatic, and/or less than 6 months post injury or 1 year
since surgery
(7) Lumbosacral vertebral fractures with vertebral body compression greater than
50 percent; evidence of posterior element involvement, nerve root damage, disc
involvement, dislocation (partial, moderate, severe), fragmentation abnormal
exam, ligament instability, symptomatic, and/or less than 6 months post injury or
1 year since surgery
(8) Any spinal or skeletal condition that results in a person not being able to
safely perform essential job tasks
Yea good thing I've already discussed this with quite a few members of this NFPA group.
I had my spine fused, yet here I sit at Company 11 typing this reply. Spinal Fusion should not be an automatic disqualifier. Every person is different. I am in better shape and have a stronger back since the surgery than before.
So, like CaptOldTimer said. Go to a Neurosurgeon and get evaluated. Mine repaired my back and knew what I do, and cleared me for this line of work. The specialist will have a better clue than a general FD Doc.Co 11

Amateurs practice until they get it right; professionals practice until they cannot get it wrong. Which one are you?
'The fire went out and nobody got hurt' is a poor excuse for a fireground critique.
I know what you are talking about, one of my dad's employees had 5 vertebrae fused in his lower back. He is just as strong after the accident, as he was before the accident. Will it be a long time after surgery before being full strength? Yes it will be. Even if you don't decide to pursue the fire service, you will feel a lot better later in life if you have surgery, or whatever needs to be done. Just remember, you aren't growing any younger, and you only live once.

Take this advice. Working on the ambulance you are doing a lot of lifting, often in not the best situations.
A word of warning, back problems are a very common problem for firefighters. Be very honest with yourself about the strength of your back and whether or not you think it can hold up to 20 years of firefighting. Many firemen have had disabling back injuries, injuries that practically cripple them. You may want to be a firefighter, but if you doubt the strength of your back I'd be very cautious. You really don't want to be disabled by 35.

Thanks to all for the replies. As for getting off the ambulance, I was told to get accepted to paramedic school I would need 6 months prior on an ambulance, and also around where I am from most departments being a paramedic is a requirement for applications, so as much as I respect your comments I will stick with it until I find out whether my injuries will or will not affect my job status. I feel I need to stick with it hoping that I am cleared and then have to go to paramedic school.
I cant get into the surgeon for another couple weeks and I will just deal until then. There is this stuff called biofreeze that I am confident can get me through anything ha.
I also have a lot of confidence in my back, I have been powerlifting for a couple of years and have been able to deal. Also I spoke with one of my fire science teachers today who is also a Chief at his FD and he told me its a very big gray area. Not to lie about anything but also to get my hands on my medical record and see exactly what was written down so I am able to tell them the truth while also not disclosing too much info. Hopefully the new surgeon will clear me.
Once again thank you all for the comments, any more are greatly appreciated.
Don't ever mess with the back. Don't be cheap either, go straight to a specialist.

Not remotely how that went. I got answers that i appreciated, but with my current circumstances I dont feel i should leave the ambulance because if i get cleared I will take the next step towards my career which would be paramedic school, of which i NEED the ambulance time. Im not saying its a minor problem, it is something that I have dealt with for 5+ years and was wondering if it would hinder my chances of becoming a FF. No it is not just a little scratch and it is something that must be taken care of, but having dealt with it for this long, another month before I see a surgeon wont kill me. Thanks for your wonderful input though.

You have to remember this is the employer's decision and not yours.
What ever department you are looking at trying to be employed at see what the physical and health requirements are.
Many may not hire you because of the prior injury. They do not want the financial burden of you getting another back injury and paying disability for something you had in the past. There's a lot of risk management decisions in the hiring process (that would be risk management and the bean counters.)
Good luck in your education and in reaching your goal.
You're in the driver's seat. You have to make the decisions. If you feel working on the ambulance is what you need, go for it. Just don't take the warnings you've been given lightly. You will do heavy lifting every day in EMS.
A lot of people are heavy -- literally. (I'm still a young man but would take a dollar for every 300+ pound patient I've run on.) But also, lots of people do not live in EMS-friendly places. This mean you're lifting folks in places where you don't have sufficient room to move properly. You will carry people out of places where cots won't fit (including up and down stairs). You will have to move people using less than ideal form to keep yourself out of pee or poop or general filth.
EMS is a minefield for back injuries. Know that before you go into it.

Cozmosis thanks for your reply. As i said I am not taking it lightly but will stick with the EMS until i see a surgeon. Also i work for a private and we do not have any 911 contracts so it is basically all transfers, and on top of it we have just now gotten these new power cots. "+" goes up "-" goes down. I really do appreciate all the feedback I have received and will be seeing the surgeon on the 26th and make all important decisions at that time. Once again thanks to all for your responses, and I am not trying to just brush this off and not listen to your responses, I do respect them and will take all of that into account while speaking with my surgeon.
Take care of yourself now...see your specialist get it fixed. You are young enough that you can still look at a career later on in life.
My husband served in the military and broke his leg(permanent rod), skull fractures, broken fingers etc..., once out of the miltary he broke it(leg) again and broke his back(just above t). They said he would never walk again....he walked out of the hospital.
He then became a firefighter....so don't discount yourself until a doctor says you can't do it and you know you can't do it.
You still have an opportunity....what are you going to do with it?

I think it is time for dirty urbanism. But this I don't mean pornographic planning or soiled streets, but rather a form of urban planning that recognizes and amplifies what the Venturis once called the "messy vitality" of everyday life in our environment. Dirty realism would not envision clean, perfectly functioning urban environments which in any case could never come into being, but rather places that work and even thrive, even though they might be messy, jammed with traffic, and and blighted by crime, conflict, and real dirt. They might, I other words, look like real cities.
I was spurred to these thoughts when I took recently part in a panel in and about Westwood, the mixed-used neighborhood to the south of UCLA's campus in Los Angeles. Organized by Professor Dana Cuff and CityLab, an active and experimental offshoot of UCLA, it discussed two plans for the area's future: one by Neil Denari, and one by Roger Sherman with Edwin Chan, both commissioned by CityLab.
Both took as their starting point the arrival of a subway station at Westwood's southwest corner, which will occur at some point in the next decade, if all goes well. Denari envisioned a cluster of high-rises that would feed off the expected influx of commuters and students using this new form of transportation. He imagined a car-free zone of stores and restaurants feeding off the office towers.
Sherman and Chan concentrated on building on the presence of the Hammer Museum, an active exhibition venue run by UCLA and the Geffen Theater in the neighborhood. They proposed that other museums and arts facilities should migrate from the campus to create a cultural cluster. They sought to move parking out of Westwood's center and dreamed of a "zocolo," or marketplace, near its core. As Denari pointed out during his presentation, both visions were compatible and could be layered over and next to each other.
The problem CityLab had asked the designers to solve was that Westwood has lost its ability to attract and retain retail and entertainment venues. Once an active hub of movie theaters (I remember going to glamorous premieres there), as well as the site of many small stores, it is now a collection of chain stores and restaurants lost in a sea of vacant storefronts, with only two movie theaters left. Paradoxically, the growth of UCLA's medical center to the north and office and condo towers to the east means that its southern edge has some of the worst traffic congestion in Southern California. Meanwhile, the perception of high crime, based on gang-related violence more than a decade ago, deters tourists and regional visits.
The proposals, which would solve those problems, are intelligent and well thought out. I merely questioned whether Southern California needed another mixed–use node, or, to use Joel Garreau's now almost twenty-year old term, Edge City, when it already has so many. I also wondered whether the subway would be the deus ex machina the planners envisioned. Finally, I doubted whether the cultural institutions could and should really go there. There are other nascent cultural clusters a few miles away, notably around the ever-expanding Los Angeles County Museum of Art, while UCLA also needs its own cultural anchors.
It seems that Westwood's real strength is its messiness. Its street pattern is a planner's nightmare, but creates a great deal of complexity that could be intriguing. Its mix of neighbors--from doctors and patients to wealthy residents who don't even want students parking in front of their houses to office workers and the largest Persian community outside of Iran--could actually use the area at different times of the day for different uses. Above all, the tens of thousands of students need a messy place where they can gather, party, shop, and misbehave.
The question these projects and the discussion raised was not how to solve the problem, but how to use the contradictions and unsightliness to let a neighborhood--one that would more actively use its historical and physical resources, as well as encourage the growth of UCLA and new modes of transit--evolve in ways we might not be able to predict or plan for, but only encourage. Making sense of parking made sense to me, as did trying to attract retail and entertainment around a civic square. Creating monuments, suppressing car traffic, and planning new towers, however beautiful, did not.
The problem with dirty urbanism is that it is hard to plan for and even more difficult to envision. Perhaps we need to look back at Complexity and Contradiction and Learning from Las Vegas for inspiration on how to do that, and to think about punk and Post Modernism as providing messy models. Post Modernism, after all, is coming back, neither as comedy nor tragedy, but as PhotoShop and Facebook. The messiness of social connection emerging in the ether and the etherization of commercial and social connections are the real point, and I will turn towards that model next week when I review the Victoria & Albert's Post Modernism exhibition.

Gers move up to second place
07 Nov 2009 - 17:08:06
Rangers closed the gap on Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic to just one point following Saturday's 2-1 victory over St Mirren.
Walter Smith's side moved above Hibernian into second place in the table after taking advantage of Celtic not being in action until Sunday to keep the pressure on their Old Firm rivals.
The outcome at Ibrox was never in doubt after Kris Boyd fired them into a first-minute lead with a close-range strike.
Boyd's seventh league goal of the season in the 57th minute doubled the advantage and killed off any hopes mid-table Saints had of taking a point from their trip to Glasgow.
Stephen O'Donnell's 88th minute response for Saints was purely academic.
Earlier in the day, Hibs had opened the door to Rangers in the battle for second place after playing out a goalless draw with Hearts in disappointing Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle.
Hibs came closest to breaking the deadlock when Janos Balogh tipped David Wotherspoon's shot onto his post midway through the second half.
Elsewhere, Sone Aluke responded to criticism from manager Mark McGhee by firing Aberdeen to a 2-1 victory over St Johnstone.
The Nigerian winger's appetite was recently questioned by McGhee, but Aluke's 15th minute strike put the Dons into the lead at Pittodrie.
Liam Craig levelled the scores 14 minutes from time, before Lee Miller's penalty soon after secured only a second home victory of the season for the Dons.
Motherwell extended their unbeaten run to five games with a 2-2 draw against Hamilton.
Guillaume Beuzelin was sent off in the first half following two quickfire cautions and Simon Mensing's 61st minute goal put the Accies ahead.
Jamie Murphy made it 1-1 on 78 minutes before Marco Paixao thought he had won it for the home side four minutes later.
However, Lukas Jutkiewicz salvaged a point for the Steelmen with a late equaliser.
Dundee United moved up to fourth place in the table after a 2-0 victory over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
Damian Casalinuovo's 22nd minute penalty opened the scoring for the Terrors, before the Argentinian striker wrapped up the points with a 57th minute second goal.

Viral Resistance in Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1-Infected Patients Receiving the NS3 Protease Inhibitor Faldaprevir (BI 201335) in a Phase 1b Multiple-Rising-Dose Study
Berger KL, Lagacé L, Triki I, Cartier M, Marquis M, Lawetz C, Bethell R, Scherer J, Kukolj G. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2013 Oct;57(10):4928-36. doi: 10.1128/AAC.00822-13. Epub 2013 Jul 22.
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc., Ridgefield, Connecticut, USA.
Faldaprevir (BI 201335) is a selective NS3/4A protease inhibitor under development for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. NS3/4A genotyping and NS3 protease phenotyping analyses were performed to monitor the emergence of resistance in patients with HCV genotype 1 infection receiving faldaprevir alone or combined with pegylated interferon alfa 2a and ribavirin (PegIFN-RBV) during a phase 1b study. Among all baseline variants, a maximum 7-fold reduction in in vitro sensitivity to faldaprevir was observed for a rare NS3 (V/I)170T polymorphism. During faldaprevir monotherapy in treatment-naive patients, virologic breakthrough was common (77%, 20/26) and was associated with the emergence of resistance mutations predominantly carrying NS3 substitutions R155K in GT1a and D168V in GT1b. D168V conferred a greater reduction in faldaprevir sensitivity (1,800-fold) than R155K (330-fold); however, D168V was generally less fit than R155K in the absence of selective drug pressure. Treatment-experienced patients treated with faldaprevir-PegIFN-RBV triple therapy showed higher viral load reductions, lower rates of breakthrough (8%, 5/62), and less frequent emergence of resistance-associated variants compared with faldaprevir monotherapy.

Convention CenterSubmitted by Richard Moore (not verified) on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 11:19am.
Since the "Taxpayer" did not pay anything to create the Convention Center, any jobs that have been created, and local vendors that provide services there, are a free benefit to the "Taxpayer". I hope the "Taxpayer" is not trying to make a negative out of something that is clearly a positive just because that is what "Taxpayers" do. »

Nicky Hunt has admitted he would be willing to consider a move abroad after being put on the transfer list by Rotherham.
Hunt still has a year of his contract to run with the Millers but manager Steve Evans has informed the 29-year-old defender he does not figure in his plans for the new campaign.
The former Bolton man spent the second half of last season on loan at Accrington, starting 11 League Two games.
However, Hunt admits the future is now uncertain. And while he would prefer to remain in England, a move overseas cannot be ruled out.
"I just want to play football," he said. "A lot of thought goes into decisions like this because it is life-changing.
"I might end up three hours away, or it could be half an hour and nothing much changes.
"We have a little girl and I have a lot of family close to me so a lot of factors come into it.
"But you never know. I might get a telephone call with an offer from Australia, USA, Cyprus, Greece, anywhere.
"I can't afford to rule anything out at this stage."

Aston Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia is determined to go from strength to strength after returning from a lengthy injury lay-off.
The Frenchman missed the whole of last term with an Achilles problem but he was fit enough to take a full part in pre-season and has returned to the Villa side at the start of the new campaign.
He is delighted to be back in action and now hopes to improve his performances as he gets sharper and continues to work hard.
"It has been a long time since I have played and I feel really happy to be back on the pitch again now," N'Zogbia said in the Birmingham Mail.
"They are great feelings for me after being injured for such a long time.
"I was frustrated to be not playing football but I had to keep it in my mind that I would be happy again and back playing.
"To come back and score in pre-season was a big bonus.
"It gave me more and more strength and hope that the hard work I had been doing was finally starting to pay off.
"My hopes are to play as many games as I can, to be happy and to have a good season.
"I've been working hard at it so hopefully my performances will become stronger."
N'Zogbia, who joined Villa from Wigan Athletic in 2011, admits that he found his time on the sidelines difficult.
He said: "When you step out of it for a period of time you realise how to appreciate other things away from football.
"But you realise how much you've missed it when you're watching Villa play.
"Then in your mind you become focused on fitness and recovery to make sure you'll be back stronger."

Did my first batch of all grain BIAB (1 gallon) lastnight. Everything went well till mash in. Did the 160 degree and then add my bag. Dropped the temp to 150 which was what is was suppose to do. Steeped for 60 minutes TRYING to maintain 150. Noticed even with my stirring, that the wort outside would get down to 148, while inside the bag would be in the mid 150s range. Fast forward to after the boil and chilling. Missed my pitch temp of 80 and pitched at 73 degrees. Hydrometer reading and adjusting put my OG at 1.063. Primary is fermenting though and airlock is active this morning, so we'll see how things go in a couple of days. Did the 1 gallon Tiny Dancer Amber Ale from Austin Home Brew.
Your mash temps may be okay. From what I have read, the temperature in the thin part of the mash is what is most important as that is where the enzymes are at work. That is why you can do decoction. I assume the inside of the bag is where the thick part of the mash was. Even if you were in the mid 150s, you will still have conversion. Your beer may have more body and malt character. Chilling to 73 was actually good. Jamil suggests pitching slightly under fermentation temps and letting the temp rise to fermentation temps. You will have fewer off flavors. Congrats on first batch.
Thanks Scott. I appreciate the response. Hate to see my first batch regaled to BBQ baste.
