Dear Juice,
I can't believe that you closed that thread. I can understand comaraderie, but I do not understand blind loyalty to another mod for the simple reason that they are just that. If one were to look objectively at the responses of a certain moderator, they would find that the bounds and responsibilities of moderation have been severely overstepped. If you want to turn a blind eye and pretend this isnt the case, well I suppose that is fine. It saddens me to see this though as I have formed such a high opinion of you and your opinions to this point. Not the first time my pollyannaish attitude has led me astray. Go ahead and close this too if you wish, just know that this behavior is quickly alienating one of the oldest members of this community. I click through on your ads to help support the site and refer others, but if this heavyhanded behavior continues I will have to reconsider my position in refering to you as one of the best fan sites out there. This is still a belief that I currently hold, however if moderator actions are left unchecked, or worse yet, endorsed by all of the moderator staff, then I will likely no longer feel this way about nV News. I find this sad, much like losing a friend.
As far as your suggestion that I take the matter up directly with the mod in question; I see this as counter-productive. I wish for those that feel the same as I to read my views and offer feedback, whether pro or con. When you as a moderator close a thread, you censor the abilities of others to offer opinions. Hmmmm, something you really want to do?
We are angels compared to mods at other sites. :)
I find this situation much like my lower grade level classes. The students love everything so long as they are allowed to do as they please, what they please, when they please. When a modicum or behavior modification or reinforcement is brought forth, then there's generally some type of outcry and backlash. Standard 2nd level emotional development characteristics according to Piaget.
That being said, I refer you to the EULA and ToS. When you registerted, you committed to an understanding that posts could be edited, moved, and/or closed for any reason. This is standard fare for any online community. Please be aware that the situation in which you are participating is operating fully withint he grounds set forth by the EULA and ToS.
(been a while, gotta say it...) Dig?
I know you are Dirx, but you cant possibly be of the opinion that there isnt room for improvement.
I appreciate your input, but your assessment of my motivation, while sounding interesting, couldn't be further from factual when applied to what I am trying to accomplish. I am also fine with all of these type of responses. If you dont want my patronage, just tell me. I will honor your collective wishes.
While I understand that in any police state like environment, there has to be an element of control over unruly actions, that's simply not what's going on here. I see someone expressing their frustrations over recent events, and being shut out for it. Angels compared to mods on other sites, perhaps. But your certainly not Gods. Why are opinions being cut down as immature? Do the opinions of only the moderators count here at nV News? Why is it ok that a moderator lashes out at someone for something as simple as inquiring about a 3dMark score, but when a user posts concerns about the actions of a moderator they're accused of having the cognitive capacity of a six year old? It seems to me that this is a double standard. And at that a fairly large and particularily disturbing one.
In one thread, somebody asked about their 3dmark score with relation to their hardware. Here is someone who respects the opinion of the patrons of your message board. This person is met with the general posts. Some say it's good, some say it's average, etc. Then a moderator comes along and basically tells the person to go play a game and stop wasting everyone's time by posting insignificant nonsense. When questioned about this outburst, this moderator replies by saying they're sorry, but are having a bad week at work.
I'm new to this board, but is this the kind of behavior I can expect to see out of moderators? Are the validity of my opinions and concerns dependant on how your week is going? This, to me, doesn't constitute fair and impartial treatment. And if it's typical of the administration of the nV News forums, I feel sorry for the new users whom you are making an effort to "protect" by shuffling posts around and closing threads.
This board is moderated a little more strictly than other boards, so we have some better content here for everyone...
Wherelse can you get ask a question at another fansite where you get some good feedback?
Try asking a nice nVidia question at Rage3D...or try asking ANYTHING at [H]OCP, your answer gets lost in insults and spam and all the other crap.
Now as far as Saturn, we had a talk about this a while back, and if you read the whole thread (if it's the thread I'm thinking of), he did apologize for his actions...
That's the way the owner wants the forums to be run, even at the cost of popularity, if you don't like it, then I'm sorry, there is R3D [H]OCP, Anand, and all the rest of the spam zones waiting for you...
I do not frequent hard ocp because of Mike's problems with Kyle. When Mike tells me he has read my complaints and found none valid and that my patronage is unimportant to him as you have inicated it is you, I will leave you and your site alone.
Thank you for being somewhat more diplomatic about it than AshG. Frankly his "RTFM OR DIE" mentality is an annoyance. As for the owner of the site, I can't speak for them. If they want their patrons insulted, and opinions stiffled, that's up to them. And certainly you can't be blamed for doing the job you've been given. But in the same spirit that the general forum should be renamed "Water Cooler", the word moderator should be changed to something a little more appropriate as well. The word I'm thinking of is too easily mistaken for other, historicaly infamous meanings (despite it's actual meaning), so I'll refrain from using the word.
Your efforts to defend your own are admirabe. But I ask you, should a moderator have to appologize for something like that? Is not a mod someone who is supposed to be professional enough to avoid such situations? A missunderstanding every once in a while is one thing, but as I understand Saturn has a long history (roughly two years) of bashing people who even mention 3dMark. Maybe your rules (or rather the ones you're given) are a bit more strict than other's. If this keeps the board cleaner, then ok. But to repeatedly bash people for something as simple as their choice in benchmarking software, is simply uncalled for. Is it so hard to simply not comment on those threads, rather than seek them out and flame?
Yeah, sorry for coming across like I have stick shoved up my arse.
When in doubt about a situation, rules and regulations are the only clear discourse of action that can be taken. It sucks, I know, but they're there for a reason.
As for the benchmarking thread Saturn closed, looking back at it I can see why. Is there a reason to call someone "asshopper"? I really don't think so, at least not outside of Open Forum.
As for yourself, Mr. DuneGuy (since I don't feel like slaughtering the spelling of your name)...
Quote: You, my friend, have what we call an inferiority complex. You see someone with the ability to prove you wrong with a simple statement, and suddenly the whole world is against you. Do us all a favor and get off your soap box, put the pipe down, grab a beer, and just relax for a change. Just because you don't have the cognitive capacity to get the upmost performance out of your machine, doesn't mean that the rest of us are cheating for understanding and embracing such a daunting concept as overclocking. Get a grip man. If I can break 10k with a Radeon 8500, and your only getting 11.7 with a 9700, there's something seriously wrong with either you or your rig (or both).
That sounds so like me it's just scary. Granted, personal jabs aren't really that cool outside of OF, bu you were right to a point. But Saturn closed the thread to prevent any more of that type of discourse, and I have to say I agreed. It was becoming very unbecoming of the forums.
*sigh* Yeah, for some reason most of the mods are uptight right now. Well, uptight over here... But that's another story for another time. Will we cool off? I don't know. But for those people who DO know me, I've really calmed down over the past year. Since I was "Mod"ified, I've moved, deleted, and edited more posts than any other mod at this site most likely. I've given up on that and just let things run their course until they reach the boundaries now. No more heartburn that way =)
Again, sorry for the stock "read the rules" thingamabob. It's an automatic security thing when Idon't have time to completely analyze a situation. What would you expect from a middle school teacher with three generations of police leading up to him? =P
ibGoodEnuf I apologize for closing your thread and I understand and respect the point yer trying to make but the last time a thread like that was started, it ended up being a "Members vs Mods" and I didn't want that to happen again.
As for the particulars on the issue between you and sat, the other mods are a lot more knowledgable about it than I, so I'll just sit back and watch for now.
I want to personally thank the mods that took the time to respond to my threads. I can only imagine how difficult your jobs are and sympathize. I just needed to make a few observations. I feel my position has been heard at this point and I am glad. I am not here to flame, but make no mistake; if I see something written that is incorrect or misleading, I will pull that poster's covers. Again, Juice, I have been visiting this site alongside ya for a long time now and have always had nothing but the uptmost respect for you. You have always been kind and funny. Most importantly you have always been there to assist people with questions. I hope no hard feelings exist between myself and any other member of this board.

ALL over Africa, millions of women have taken up traditionally male dominated jobs ; in some cases excelling even better than their male counterparts. Along the coastline, especially, women's role were, since time immemorial, cooking and taking care of their husbands and children.
The menfolk were to provide for the entire household, sweating out, confirming the ancient curse unleashed to mankind that men would have to go through thick and thin for livelihood.
But as years turned to decades, and decades formed centuries in a matter of time, the womenfolk, globally are now taking both roles - those of child -bearing and fending for families.
In the agricultural sector, for example, women in millions, are engaging themselves in serious farming. Take a look at sisal, tobacco, cotton, tea, sugar, rice and cashew nut farming.
One of such features is evident in Mkinga District, Tanga Region, where women small scale farmers have taken advantage of vast land, tipped as the leading administrative area in terms of soil fertility, to plant new cashew trees.
Under an agreement signed between the Commission of Science and Technology (COSTECH), a government owned institution, and Mkinga District Council, the former is carrying out an ambitious project to revive cashew nut production.
In the arrangement, small scale farmers are provided with technology on cashew farming under the guidance of trained extension officers who are already experts in cashew growing.
All experts disseminating the new technology to farmers in selected four villages - including Mkinga Leo, Mwanyumba, Horohoro Kijijini and Kwangoma operate under the project.
The farmers have undergone several seminars to attain knowledge on cashew growing and management. They were taught on preparations of nursery, grafting of young plants after which they are distributed free to farmers. Grafting is a process, whereby improved variety is tied to a tender plant and allowed to grow.
It is primarily aimed at improving productivity. Pruning is another essential package. Its aim is to allow air to pass across tree branches to avoid darkness, which is a preferred hideout for insect diseases.
In several cashew growing areas visited by a team of a half dozen or so cashew growing experts last week, led by Dr. Louis Kasuga from Naliendele Agricultural Research Institute (NARI),in Mtwara, farmers were allowed to freely practice their knowledge on their new farming plots.
"When you find that two branches part ways from the main stem simultaneously, do not allow both of them to continue growing. Cut off one of them so that the branches alternate," lectured Dr Kasuga at a Horohoro village farm.
Dr Kasuga believes that allowing branches to sprout out sideways uncontrollably, creates strain on the plant - causing the branches to lean towards the ground surface.
"Take the sukerture (a cashew pruning component) and cut off the undesired tree branches," the researcher and agronomist would order one of the farmers - often allowing groups to learn by doing, in almost every farming plot.
At Mkinga Leo, Dr Kasuga asked to be told why it was unwise to allow certain varieties to flower when they had hardly attained the length of one metre.
When everybody had failed to give satisfactory reply, he said: "It is necessary to discourage early flowering to inhibit the plant from early maturing.
The process of cutting of the flowering portion is to encourage further growth upwards - towards the atmosphere". At a Horohoro Kijijini farm, planted with 90 grafted young trees, the researcher cum lecturer described the plot as the best. "This plot has impressed me because it has almost all the qualities of a good farm.
First, it is well kept, second, the plants are grown alongside legumes." In a message, Dr Kasuga gave to farmers, wherever the team visited, the researcher insisted on intercropping "Intercropping is a necessary component in cashew growing because it necessitates the farmer to keep the farm clean, in the process of weeding other plants in the same plot."
Cashew plant grown under modern technology begins production at the age of as low as one and a half years - if well taken care of, according to Nzaro Kijo, Mkinga District Cashew Coordinator.
"Ideally, when the plant is 5 years, production is at its peak, standing at between 25 kgs. to 50 kgs.," says Kijo, adding that the better the plot management, the higher the yields. In some plots visited, some very old traditional varieties were doing well. "Why was this so?", this writer demanded to know.
"It is true that certain varieties may look or seem to be doing well, but the type is prone to various diseases. Today, you see it is producing good yields, but tomorrow when you come here, you may find the entire tree completely devastated", stressed the coordinator.
"Old trees need occasional spraying to ensure that whatever tree diseases - and they are many - do not devour tree parts, particularly the deadly powdery mildew".
Powdery mildew, says Kijo, is the most serious tree disease, adding that it manifests itself in colouration on the leaves, rendering the leaves to appear in very tiny grey spots which hinder photosynthesis - the making of plant food. At Horohoro Kijijini, the Ward's Extension Officer, Esther Mashishanga showed the team over 2,500 grafted seedlings awaiting collection by farmers.
"All the young plants you see here, are grafted. We keep them ready so farmers can easily collect whatever amount they wish," said the young agriculturalist.
Mwanaidi Omari, one of the farmers at Mahandakini, an area once used as a refuge by German soldiers during the 2nd World War, told the team that so far she had planted 78 trees.
"Our problem here, is invasion of our plots by pastoralists who allow their cattle roam about freely," she told the 'Daily News.' "Look here, this defenceless young tree is almost dying because when the animals come here, they scratch their backs against the trees," said Mwanaidi who was accompanied by a dozen or so other women farmers, each owning a few hectares of the crop.
Next to the farm, exists a school demonstration plot where 25 plants have been grown in an area of about 2 hectares. Another successful farmer, Agnes Wilson says she planted 143 traditional varieties in 2009/10.
Agnes, declared best farmer in a regional contest last year, says she has so far done top working - the process of chopping off old and unproductive old trees - two metres from ground level to 182 trees.
In the modern technology, aimed at higher production, a new variety is planted beside a tree stem and technically tied by use of a plastic band to allow fresh stems to sprout out sideways but upwards to the atmosphere.
The seriously committed farmer, says she started cashew growing with the little income she earned from petty businesses. Certainly, Agnes' story removes the traditional myth that coastal women's place is the kitchen.

Author Notes: This recipe was born from desperation really, my 4 yr old monster was growling for breakfast. It was the day before our weekly shop and we had an "Old Mother Hubbard" situation going on.... store cupboard and last of the fruit bowl.
My monster was really pleased with it and munched his way through 4 :D - \m/Nomster-Monster\m/
Makes 8 tbsp pancakes.
- 2 ounces Self Raising Flour
- 1 Egg
- 50-60 milliliters Semi Skimmed Milk
- 1 Ripe Pear
- 1 tablespoon Desiccated Coconut
- 1 tablespoon Honey/Maple Syrup
- 1 pinch Salt
Massacre Sauce:
- 100-150 milliliters Blueberry or Cranberry Juice
- 2-3 tablespoons Caster Sugar
- Whisk the egg in a bowl add the flour and the milk and beat till smooth. Then add the honey/maple syrup and salt.
- Peel and chop the pear you need to do this with a little haste as it will brown, but as soon as you add it to the batter ya safe. Mix them and the coconut into the batter.
- Heat a pan I use a small frying pan, add the blueberry juice and the sugar and bring it to a boil. leave for it to reduce and it will thicken. When it has reduced by half remove from the heat and leave to cool. It will thicken more.
- Heat a large frying pan and add the oil, butter or frying spray. Then dollop the batter into the pan.
- You will see the pancake set on the bottom and the wetness shine will turn matte around the edges, this is the time to flip them. As you have the fruit in them, they won't be flat on the side you flip them to, however all you need is to leave them for a couple of minutes and when they go matte they are cooked.
- Serve your pancakes with the sauce, it will drippity-drip all down the sides hence " Massacre Sauce "!!!! :D

Teachers are rebelling against testing and against the tracking of students.
Teachers are rebelling against test scores being the main part of their evaluations.
Parents are also rebelling and opting out of testing.
Teachers are rebelling because there is no time for review or mastery of the skills.
Teachers are rebelling because testing takes time—oh so much time—from instruction.
LAUSD teachers and parents should be rebelling because senior teachers are being put in teacher jails. When they are close to retirement, near or at the top of the payroll, and if they stand up and fight especially against their schools' administration, teachers are candidates for incarceration.
They are told to report to jail, not told the reasons, and are forced to sit there while their classes are taught by low paid, inexperienced teachers, who many times are substitutes.
The whole idea is to make the teachers' lives so miserable that they give up and quit therefore saving LAUSD retirement benefits.
Every teacher, student, and parent in LAUSD should be rebelling against the district, the school board, the superintendent and his masters.
Every single day LAUSD teachers are forced to do things that are unconscionable to them:
Proceeding to the next skill when the students have not mastered the current one.
Socially promoting students who are not ready for the next grade.
Graduating students from high school who are on elementary levels.
Giving test after test knowing it is a gross waste of time and money.
Not being able to teach all the subjects that they are supposed to teach since the only ones considered important are those tested.
Not having time for remediation, review, enrichment or challenge.
Using textbooks that do not have enough practice and that teach the skills improperly.
No longer being able to inoculate the love of learning and the joy of reading into the students.
Not making education fun as it was in so many ways before they had to teach to the test.
Being forced to accept disruptive secondary students back into the classroom as the school's administration will not provide assistance.
Going along with decisions made by downtown bureaucrats, superintendents, school board members, state bureaucrats, and publishers, while teachers are never consulted.
Allowing the wealthiest people in the country and their foundations to influence public education in ways that are totally wrong.

There is no heat upstairs forcing us to crank the downstairs heat and hope the fans blew the heat up there. Front desk had no solution to heat issue, the maintenance man said the central air was broken.
Wifi? What wifi? There was no wifi, the signal is so weak from the starfish manor, that the cel phones and laptops could not pick up the signal.
Sliding door to deck was very difficult to open and close, we eventually stopped using it.
Hot water was really touchy and could scould you in the shower especially if someone in the kitchen was using the water.
Battery cover was still missing off the remote as previous reviewer stated.
The front desk did respond promptly to requests for robes and to a garbage disposal issue-that was resolved quickly.
View is great. Beach access is close by. Older home in need of TLC.

Cloudswell decided to use Savvisdirect's cloud-based computing instead of constructing a new facility to replace its aging data center, William Atkinson writes. "We vetted many vendors with great solutions in specific types of service offerings, but chose Savvisdirect based on its ability to provide top-tier services across the different service classes," says Cloudswell's Roger Hale. The company says the result provides greater availability and decreased costs.

The mystery behind the attempts to loot a couple of ATMs at Muralinagar area has been solved by the City Police with the arrest of a youth of Yerramsettivanipalem under Narsapuram Police Station limits in West Godavari district.
Giving details to the media here on Thursday, Police Commissioner B. Shivadhar Reddy said that Konisetti Krishna (22) made a vain bid to commit theft at two ATM centres of State Bank of Hyderabad and Canara Bank at Muralinagar a few days ago.
Krishna had worked as an operator at a private marine services company in the city.
He came to the city on January 19 and stayed at the Railway Station and NAD junction in the city. On January 21, Krishna hatched a plan to rob the ATM centre of SBH, where there was no security. He purchased a screwdriver and visited the ATM centre during the afternoon hours on the plea of checking the balance in his account.
He had Rs.72 in his account. He went to the same ATM that night by wearing a mask and broke open the front doors of the both the ATM counters. He, however, failed in his attempt to break open the cover of the ATM and left the place.
He purchased a grind machine for Rs.1,350 and again attempted to loot the ATM of Canara Bank at Muralinagar on January 24. He broke open the front doors of the ATM and cut the body on the back side of the ATM by using the grinding machine that night, but he fled on hearing some commotion on the road outside.
The Police Commissioner said that a meeting would be held with bankers in the city to impress upon them the need to augment security at ATMs. There are 358 ATM centres in the city.
Of these 152 had both cc cameras and security persons, 43 had no cc cameras and 143 had no watchmen. Ironically, 23 ATMs had neither cc cameras nor security personnel.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (North) B. Prasada Rao said that though nothing was lost, the futile attempts at Muralinagar had created a sensation in the area.
The accused was caught based on the CCTV footage at the ATM counter of SBH on January 21.
The accused Krishna confessed his guilt during the interrogation. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) P. Viswa Prasad was present.

Achilles Tendon Problems
Achilles tendinitis is one of the more difficult injuries any athlete can encounter. Within two weeks of Achilles inflammation, the tendon fibers begin to degenerate.
One of the best conservative treatments for this injury is eccentric strengthening exercises. I find that eccentric strengthening combined with a core exercise program is the most effective treatment plan for chronic Achilles tendinosis.
Shock wave therapy (ESWT) is also an excellent conservative treatment for chronic Achilles issues. ESWT sends sound waves deep into the tissue, promoting neovascularization (that is, the production of new blood vessels to allow the tissue to heal). The treatment can be expensive and the full effect isn't seen for up to three or four months. There are almost no negative side effects to ESWT, but the treatment isn't typically covered by insurance and can cost in excess of $1,000. In my practice I use the D-Actor 200 from Storz Medical, and have seen over a 70 percent success rate when used to treat Achilles tendinosis.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a newer treatment involving giving a sample of your own blood, which is then processed to extract the plasma and injected back into the injured tendon or muscle. The treatment is costly and not covered by insurance, and scientific studies haven't shown it to be much more effective than a placebo. In a review of all the medical studies published in the British Medical Bulletin on the use of PRP, the authors found just three high-quality studies among all the literature published, and none of these studies showed any statistically significant improvement.
Surgery for Achilles pain may involve surgery on the tendon itself or, more commonly, closer to the attachment in the back of the calcaneus (heel bone) where patients may commonly have a bone spur known as a Haglund's deformity. The use of anchors has further enhanced surgery involving the back of the heel, allowing the tendon to be detached to remove any bone spurring and then reattached with the use of an anchor. Recovery involves being in a short leg cast initially, then a removable cast followed by physical therapy with a return to running in roughly three months. World championships marathoner Keith Dowling had pain for the last two years of his competitive career from a Haglund's deformity(pictured, above). After failed conservative treatment I operated on Keith using anchors. He doesn't compete anymore but is able to run with no pain in the back of his heel.
Plantar Fasciitis
This injury typically resolves over 90 percent of the time with conservative treatment. The most important factor in treating this very common injury is early intervention. Calf stretching, icing with a frozen water bottle 20 to 30 minutes two or three times per day, taping and massage are the initial treatments, and work well for up to half of patients with this injury. When those treatments don't help, then cortisone injections, over-the-counter and custom orthotic devices, Active Release Therapy and physical therapy are the next wave of treatments.
One area of treatment that deserves more attention is strengthening the foot. Weakness of the intrinsic musculature accompanies plantar fasciitis. Early introduction of restrictive shoe gear in Westernized cultures may contribute to atrophy of these muscles. As part of the rehabilitation from this injury, it is important to add a strengthening and proprioception protocol to the treatment plan following the reduction of pain. Grabbing a towel with the toes, balancing on one foot and progressing to the use of a balance board can facilitate foot strengthening. After performing these exercises athletes can progress to barefoot running in the grass. Many of the shoe companies are now making minimalist shoes that are a nice adjunct to the treatment plan when used initially in moderation.
Shock wave therapy has been found to resolve plantar fasciitis in up 70 percent of cases that didn't improve with more conventional treatments.
TOPAZ and platelet-rich plasma therapy are two other pertinent treatments, but again, neither has a significant amount of medical literature reviewing its effectiveness. Sedation and local anesthesia in the operating room are necessary to perform TOPAZ. Needle holes are placed in a square pattern on the medial and central bands of the fascia on the bottom of the heel at the area of greatest pain. The TOPAZ unit is inserted into the needle holes, and the fascia is treated with a short burst of electric energy, resulting in microscopic cutting of the fascia, increased blood supply and break-up of the scar tissue. There also seems to be an increase in strength to the fascia with this procedure. The drawbacks are the need for surgery, the cost of surgery and the fact that scar formation from the multiple incisions may be a source of pain. Although scar formation is very rare, there's a need for additional downtime with this procedure, and recovery is usually slower and more painful.
It's crucial that your physician rule out other causes of heel pain, such as nerve entrapment, before considering surgery; often an MRI should be ordered to confirm the proper diagnosis. Other surgical approaches include endoscopic plantar fasciotomy, in which the fascia is cut at the insertion point; ideally there's minimal trauma to the tissue due to the use of arthroscopy. A traditional open approach allows the surgeon to examine for nerve entrapment, but it involves a larger incision, creating the possibility of more scar tissue, which can, ironically, cause nerve entrapment. Another approach, known as an instep fasciotomy, involves making the incision right in the arch. This procedure has the advantage of causing less scar tissue.
The most worrisome complication involves creating instability of the foot. Most surgeons won't cut the fascia completely; they often leave the outside portion of the fascia intact. Calcaneal cuboid syndrome is one possible complication that can be extremely difficult to resolve. Of all the surgeries in the foot, this is the one that should absolutely be considered as the last resort.
When deciding whether surgery makes sense, here's an important question to answer:
Have you exhausted more conservative treatments that will cure your problem instead of just treating its symptoms? The best person to answer these questions with you is your local sports podiatrist. Ideally you want your podiatrist to be both a fellow of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine (aapsm.org) and board-certified in foot surgery by The American Board of Podiatric Surgery (abps.org).

How to Become an Apprentice on an Offshore Oil Rig
Find out how to become an apprentice on an offshore oil rig. Research the training requirements and learn about the experience you need to advance your career as an apprentice on an offshore oil rig.
Do I Want to Be an Apprentice on an Offshore Oil Rig?
Apprentices working on offshore oil rigs may perform a variety of entry-level work learned through on-the-job training. Individuals interested in these types of positions, which include general laborers known as roustabouts and rotary-driller helpers known as roughnecks, work in remote locations away from others in challenging living conditions, putting in long hours and performing physically challenging tasks.
Job Requirements
Along with being in good physical condition, workers need to be at least 18 years old and pass a drug test. A high school diploma may be preferred but not required by employers, and some seek related training through community colleges and industry associations.The following table outlines the general requirements to work as an apprentice on an offshore oil rig.
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|High school diploma preferred but not required*
|Basic knowledge of oil rig operations and equipment**
|Key Skills
|Good eye-hand coordination, physical strength, strong attention to detail, good interpersonal skills*
|Technical Skills
|Basic mechanics, heavy equipment operation, welding*
|Additional Requirements
|Pass drug screening test, pass medical clearance exam, ability to work more than an 8-hour workday, acceptable criminal history**
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **CareerBuilder.com job postings in December 2012.
Step 1: Seek Training in Offshore Oil Rig Operations
Individuals interested in becoming apprentices on offshore oil rigs may first want to seek training programs related to oil rig operations to gain a better understanding of the work involved. These programs, which are intended for potential oil rig workers as well as for others who need a basic understanding of offshore oil rig operations, are offered at only a few universities and community colleges. They cover subjects such as offshore exploration, drilling, offshore regulations, maritime and state law and emergency responses. Other programs cover topics such as safety, rig systems and components, CPR, basic electrical skills and more.
Step 2: Pursue Apprenticeship Programs
A handful of community colleges offer apprenticeship programs for jobs that involve offshore oil rig operations. For example, individuals may pursue boilermaker apprenticeships that teach them to become metal fabricators who can build and repair offshore drilling platforms. Or, individuals may pursue apprenticeships in pile driving, an occupation also needed at offshore oil rigs. These apprenticeship programs take three or four years to complete.
Step 3: Gain Certification For Offshore Oil Rig Work
Another way for individuals to prepare for offshore oil rig jobs is to obtain formal training from a certification program like those accredited by the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC). These certification programs prepare individuals for work as floorhands or roughnecks in the oil or gas industry. Students learn about operational requirements at drilling sites and about safe working practices. Successful completion of an accredited training program earns the worker a certificate of completion. An example of this kind of program is the IADC's UBO Rig Pass program, which is being discontinued. The IADC's Introductory/Fundamental UBO WellCAP program will replace it in the near future.
Step 4: Seek Employment On An Offshore Oil Rig
According to December 2012 job listings for oil rig workers on CareerBuilder.com, employers sought applicants for crew workers, derrick workers and derrickhands. These types of entry-level jobs required physical, mental and manual dexterity, as well as the ability to work long days. Applicants must pass drug screening and physical assessment tests. Some employers also required that they be able to read, write and speak English to understand verbal and written instructions. Prior experience in first aid, CPR and working on confined spaces is preferred.

Do your kids know their fruits and veggies?
Jamie Oliver visits an elementary school and finds that most kids have trouble identifying common fruits and veggies.
Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 08:00 AM
Have you seen sneak peak of Jamie Oliver (aka The Naked Chef) in his newest series, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, in which the celebrity chef aims to change America's topsy-turvy eating habits? The series starts out in Huntington, W. Va., which has been called the unhealthiest city in America. Oliver's hope with the series is to create a "food revolution" that catches on across the nation. And to start things off, he visits a first-grade classroom to see which fruits and veggies the kids can identify. Here's how it went:
Scary, right? How well would your kids do on this test?

I'm Asexual and currently engaged in a romantic relationship with a woman. She really wants to have sex, I'm not really into it. We've done other things I really like, like making out and heaving petting. How do I tell her that I don't want to sleep with her without making her feel inferior, undesirable and bad about herself? I'm scared to hurt her. Should I just compromise and sleep with her?
Okay so I'm pretty sure I'm lesbian and the reason for this is that when I read something naughty straight stuff makes me sick. When I read lesbian erotica I like it... until they start penetrating each other, but everything else excites me and I know I want to have sex. If you are having sex with a girl does there have to be penetration? Is it unusual to not want it? I mean just the thought of it makes me sick.
Last December, we began our end-of-year fundraising for Scarleteen with a goal to raise the minimum we needed from online donors for 2012, $35,000, a very modest ask compared to other organizations or projects of or near our tenure and level of service.
Unfortunately, we still have not yet been able to raise even half of that sum. As of today, we have raised almost $15,000. We're so very grateful to the 135 individuals who donated generously to help us get to that sum, but that total just won't do. We run our organization and services far more cost-efficiently than similar organizations or groups, and can stretch a dollar like nobody's business, but that can only get us so far.
We need that minimum of 35K for this year -- which, combined with a private grant and existing donors, still giv us only $80,000 to do everything we do -- in order to sustain and maintain our services and those who provide them, create new content and tools, and to keep our organization afloat.

Heya: so I have always had really strong principles when it comes to sex and relationships. I always envisioned myself with a nice, steady boyfriend before I would do any more than just kissing. About a month ago I was at a party and out of pure curiosity (not drunkeness) I made the decision to let a boy finger me, but I didn't really know him very well. At Christmas I let another boy finger me who I didn't know (again this was a conscious decision I wasn't drunk). But now I just feel sooo slaggy because it is against what I believe in and I feel so awful in myself. Am I right to feel like this, where should I go from here?
This may get a bit vivid. Be warned. I have a twisted sexual history. After being molested at age 5 and again at 14 I somehow allowed myself to get taken advantage of and used in regards to sex. It took me many years to heal and much pain to get to where I am now and I can have a healthy sexual experience with my current boyfriend. I stayed at his house when he was renting a room out of a bachelors pad and I understood and accepted that Playboy magazines were on every toilet and the toilet seats were always up. One day he came to the kitchen with a boner kissing on me and whatnot, a short while after I went up to the bathroom where he had been showering and found a Playboy open. Are you kidding me? How dare he have the audacity to come to me with a boner he got from a slut in a magazine? It was talked about and made clear I am not comfortable with that whatsoever, he should be loyal to me mind body and soul, and I should be enough for him; as it is likewise.
It's been months since then. I found some porn videos on his phone yesterday and it really repulsed me. I get dressed up for him, I go down on him, I put out frequently. We do get kinky. Now the reason this video offended me so much is I do let him [ejaculate] on my [breasts]: its a thrill for him. In this porn video there's a girl who looks like me, disturbing enough as is, and shes giving a guy a blowjob till he [ejaculates] on her [breasts], then she turns to the next guy and does it again. Screen changes and she's [having intercourse] from behind and he [ejaculates] in her, then she crawls forward and starts giving another guy head as yet another comes up to [have sex with her] from behind as well. TOO FAR. It's not your basic porn scene, and it bothers me that its a twisted repulsive obscene image of something him and I share intimately. We've just moved in together and I can't imagine ever letting him see me naked again. I feel like he twisted our passionate and beautiful sex into some perverted expression of his twisted fantasies.

I'm a girl and I've been with my boyfriend for 8 months. I'm 18 and he's my first boyfriend. We've never had sex (he has had it before) but we've done other things. I have a problem though, I'm really scared to orgasm. Like we'll be doing something that feels so good and I know that if we just continued a bit longer I would get there (I feel the muscles contracting, the heart pumping, the intensity building and all that) but then I chicken out and make him stop. He's fine with it and very supportive and respects that I'm so scared, but it bothers me. Why can't I just let myself get there? It's the same deal if I um, "pleasure myself." Is there any way I can or he can help myself get over this fear of the unknown?

Rae's Faves: How Modesty Doctrines Made Me Hate My Body:

This isn't a story about how modest clothes allowed me to "let myself go" and conceal a growing figure. It's not even a story about how wearing modest clothes kept my self-esteem at rock bottom and thrust me into a too-close relationship with Ben & Jerry. It's a story about how modesty doctrines impacted my mind, in ways that had real, negative effects on my body. Modesty was one of the reasons my defining relationship with my body became whether or not I was "fat." Modesty was one of the engines that pushed me into a full-blown eating disorder. It's not just a dress code: it's a philosophy, and it's one that destroys young women, mentally and physically.
Modesty taught me that my first priority needed to be making sure I wasn't a "stumbling block" to men. Not being sexually attractive was the most important thing I had to co

My son has been there twice already and one time I made him leave because the dad was not home. I am besides myself about how to handle this. He said that he is not going to have sex with her but you know how that goes. I know what I was doing at 15. Do I make condoms available? But that would be condoning it. I will have a talk with the girl about not hanging at her house. They are always welcome at mine and I will try to speak to her dad about it.

Fast Break: Comeback Celtics stun Magic
|01.26.12 at 10:55 pm ET
There was no reason to think that the Celtics had any chance of coming back in a game when they were down by 27 points and playing without three starters. But the Celtics slowly began to chip away at Orlando's lead in the second half and late in the third quarter, E'Twaun Moore caught fire knocking down three 3-pointers as the Celtics rallied all the way back for a 91-83 win in Orlando.
Paul Pierce led the way with 24 points, 10 assists and six rebounds and Kevin Garnett added 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Celtics got a huge lift from Moore and Mickael Pietrus, who combined for 28 points and seven 3-pointers, making up for the absence of Ray Allen.
They were also missing Rajon Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal, which meant that Garnett had to play Dwight Howard and the veteran held the All-NBA center in check. Orlando did not score a field goal until more than halfway through the fourth quarter and picked up two fourth quarter technicals, which helped seal their fate.
— Moore, the rookie from Purdue, simply played out of his mind, making all four of his 3-point shots and finishing with 16 points. The Celtics have loved his aggressiveness and on Thursday night that translated into much-needed points.
— Slowly but surely, Garnett's game has been coming back together. He's scored in double figures in seven straight games and his defense has been tremendous. Garnett played Howard as well as you could ask and was one of the few players who brought anything to the table offensively in the first half.
— Mickael Pietrus started for Allen and at least approximated Allen's 3-point shooting, knocking down three of them and finishing with 12 points.
— Chris Wilcox didn't do much in the box score but his activity and energy on defense was a huge lift in the fourth quarter.
— It was almost a gift for the Celtics when Howard got two quick fouls and jumped out to an 8-2 lead. But when Howard left, the Celtics didn't attack the basket and instead were content to fire up off-target jumpers. The Magic outscored them 30-8 the rest of the first quarter and put them in a deep hole.
— Greg Stiemsma picked up four fouls in only seven minutes in the first half and he and Wilcox contributed no points and one rebound in 15 minutes. Since his breakout game against Washington on New Year's Day, Stiemsma has made just two shots and scored only six points.

In a new video installment of "The Backyard Sessions" by Miley Cyrus released late last year, the 20-year-old singer can be seen barefoot performing one of country music legend Dolly Parton's most well-known tunes, "Jolene."
Cyrus' take on the 1974 classic song is a little edgier than the rendition she performed with Parton, who is also her honorary godmother, during 66-year-old singer's salute to "25 Years Of Dollywood" back in 2010.
"Jolene" peaked at No. 60 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart at a time when Barbara Streisand's "The Way We Were" and Kool & The Gang's "Jungle Boogie" flourished in the top 10 and gets its title from a fan Parton met at one of her concerts.

"One night I was on stage, and there was this beautiful little girl," she said. "She was probably eight years old at the time. And she had this beautiful red hair, this beautiful skin, and beautiful green eyes.
She continued, "She was looking up at me, holding, you know, for an autograph. And I said, 'Well, you're just the prettiest little thing I've ever seen.' I said, 'What is your name?' And she said, 'Jolene.' And I said, 'Well, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene…that is pretty…that sounds like a song. I'm going to write a song about that."
Something that you might not know about this track, which occupies the 219th spot on Rolling Stones' "500 Greatest Songs Of All Time" list, is that it was written about a bank teller who was flirting with Parton's spouse.
"She got this terrible crush on my husband," the "9 To 5" hitmaker said. "And he just loved going to the bank because she paid him so much attention. It was kind of like a running joke between us when I was saying, 'Hell, you're spending a lot of time at the bank. I don't believe we've got that kind of money.' So it's really an innocent song all around, but sounds like a dreadful one."

Cover versions of the tune have frequently popped up over the years by artists such as Fiona Apple, Ellie Goulding and The White Stripes and was even featured on an episode of "Glee" called "I Kissed a Girl."

Journalists in Syria face growing risk of kidnap
American freelance photographer Matthew Schrier, who escaped in July from an Aleppo basement after seven months in captivity, said his captors tortured him for his credit card and bank passwords and used his money to shop on eBay.
Among the most recent Syrian victims was Rami Razzouk, working for a Syrian radio station that reports critically on al-Qaida-linked militants.
In a harrowing account of his 152 days in Syrian rebel captivity, Italian journalist Domenico Quirico wrote in the daily La Stampa of a revolution gone astray.
"In Syria, I discovered the Land of Evil," he wrote.
Associated Press writer Verena Dobnik in New York City contributed to this report.

[edit] Biographical Information
Brian Dozier made his major league debut in 2012.
[edit] Amateur Career
Dozier was All-State twice in high school, hitting .504 as a junior and .518 as a senior. He also played football, golf and basketball. As a freshman in college, he hit .368/.442/.488, finishing 4th in Conference USA in batting average. As a sophomore in 2007, he was at .339/.402/.456 with 57 runs in 61 games.

As a senior, he hit .391/.485/.587 with 44 runs and 39 RBI in 37 games, missing time with a broken collarbone. Southern Miss made it to the 2009 College World Series.
[edit] Minor Leagues
The Minnesota Twins took Dozier in the 8th round of the 2009 amateur draft. The scout was Earl Winn. Brian would go on to be the first 2009 Twins draftee to make the majors. He made his pro debut with the GCL Twins but only played 5 games (4 for 14, 2 BB) before a promotion to the Elizabethton Twins. He hit .353/.417/.431 with 38 runs in 53 games for Elizabethton and fielded .946 at short. He was second in the Appalachian League in average (behind Riaan Spanjer-Furstenburg), OBP (behind Brady Shoemaker) and hits (77, 7 behind Spanjer-Furstenburg). His 38 double plays led the league's shortstops. He was named the Appy's All-Star shortstop.

He totaled 92 runs, 33 doubles, 12 triples and 24 steals (in 35 tries), while fielding .977 at SS. He led the Twins minor leagues in runs and triples, tied for first in steals and was second to Steve Singleton in hits. He was named the Twins Minor League Player of the Year. He then hit .296 with 22 RBI in 26 games for the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League. Baseball America ranked him as the #10 Twins prospect, as having the best strike-zone discipline and as being the best defensive infielder in their farm chain.
Dozier began 2012 with the Rochester Red Wings and was hitting .276/.339/.371 after 28 games. He was called up to the majors when Justin Morneau went on the disabled list.
[edit] Majors
In his big league debut, Dozier started at shortstop and hit second. He flew out against Jered Weaver (fresh from a no-hitter) in his first at-bat. After an 0 for 3 start, he singled off David Carpenter with one out in the 8th and came home on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Doumit.

Sparks flew and debate raged at last Tuesday's City Council meeting. Saying he drew inspiration from Arizona's recent enactment of stringent immigration laws, Councilman Brad Wilson proposed similar statutes for the city of LaCucaracha. Meeting attendee, Chris Shanahan, pointed out that immigration laws don't apply to cities, counties or even states, but this did not stop Wilson, who simply told Mr. Shanahan, "Shut up, Chris."
Mr. Wilson then laid out the tenants of his plan. Much like the Arizona law, citizens of LaCucaracha would be required to carry immigration documents at all times and failure to do so would be considered criminal activity. Wilson's proposed law also gave local police broad and vague power to hold anyone even suspected of being in LaCucaracha illegally. It should be noted that the insertion of the word "vague" in Wilson's proposal was at the behest of Sheriff Welch.
Confusion reigned for the next few minutes as council members and citizens alike, tried to figure out if Wilson was wanting to curb illegal immigration into the United States or only into LaCucaracha proper. Sensing the near loss of decorum, Wilson clarified, "No, no, no. The law is for LaCucaracha only. I don't care if illegal aliens are in the U.S. Heck, Sintown can take all of them for all I care. I just don't want any outsiders coming into LaCucaracha. Especially from Mexico."
Deputy Rodriguez pointed out Wilson's wife, Maria, was in fact an immigrant from Mexico and that 39% of the town's inhabitants are Hispanic. Wilson responded, "I mean the illegal ones." Rodriguez then pointed out that at least 12% of the town was illegal. "Well," said Wilson, "we need to get rid of them then."
"Now hold on a minute!" shouted Tom Roundtree, "if you do that who will care for our lawns? Clean our pools? Who will take care of our children and keep them out of the family room during Cowboys games? Who will do intensely laborious and highly skilled work for low pay and no benefits? Good God, man, who will cook the food at Gomez Mexican Food?"
Councilman Brad Simmons then queried, "And doesn't this sort of curb progress? What if, for instance, a family wants to move here. And let's say they have a kid. And this kid is a super stud spread option QB. Are we going to turn them away?"
Mayor "Buddy" Meyer then spoke for the first time. "Brad," said Meyer, "that's a great point on the quarterback, but you mentioned progress, and I have it on good authority that "progress" is bad. Glenn Beck said so. I'm inclined to go with Glenn on this one and therefore, I'm on board with keeping all people not from LaCucaracha out."
Parker Landsdale, owner of the LaCucaracha nursing home, objected to the proposal unless a clause was added excluding all German and Czech immigrants. Otherwise, he explained, well over half of his residents could be detained and then possibly deported.
Wendy Marr then stood up and asked, "What if Jesus came to town? What if He wanted to make LaCucaracha the site of the Second Coming? Will Deputy Rodriguez or Deputy Pine detain Him because He doesn't have His immigration papers? And would the fact that He's technically Jewish give Sheriff Welch probable cause to pull him over? I mean, I don't know if He'll be driving, but you get my point."
While the council was pondering this scenario, local divorce attorney, Bridget Morris, arrived late to the meeting. Morris approached the dais as a visibly shaken Wilson tried to stop her from speaking. Morris apologized for being late and then dropped a bombshell. She explained that Wilson had just been served divorce papers from Maria and this immigration proposal was just an elaborate ruse to get Maria detained or deported so she couldn't take him for everything he was worth. Wilson sheepishly acknowledged Morris spoke the truth and withdrew his request with a curt, "oh, never mind."
Mayor Meyer then pointed out that the annual girl's Powder Puff football game commemorating the end of the school year was about to start so the meeting was adjourned.

Great idea for a list.
Great idea for a list.
Great idea for a list.
This list should be a tab on the home page's top ¨ selection bar¨
team fortress 2's motive was because of the engineer update by valve.
Nice, I forgot to say good job.
" This list should be a tab on the home page's top ¨ selection bar¨ "It really should be.
" @Thingy said:Agreed." This list should be a tab on the home page's top ¨ selection bar¨ "It really should be. "
This list should be a pinned topic.
Perfect! Thanks so much!
did they announce MK2 already? I forget...
If you want to get super technical, the motive for Monday Night Combat should be "digital release", not "retail release"
Great idea for a list though, recommended!
This is an awesome list.
Motive for Duke was recent addition of DNF beta access to Borderlands GOTY release.
Wow! You have links?! Best list ever!
So what are they gonna do for number 50?
Thanks for keeping the list current, mate. Makes life easier for everyone in the community. :)
NOOOOOO! I missed fat princess :((((( This is a sad day
Thank you sir, this list is massively helpful.
Might as well remind you to update. What I remember of last night:
Money Puzzle Exchanger
Pocketbike Racer
Lead & Gold
Critter Crunch or whatever
Doom II
Great job, but what about the 6-hour cast before christmas with all old games? Unsure if that would count, but it would be awesome if you could insert that in. I forget when they played street fighter 2, but I know they started out with MK on N64. Here's the justintv link: http://www.justin.tv/giantbomb/b/276118469
this is great
but do we know if the gb people are in to this i wonder if views on justintv views mean anything to them. i often miss their live shows and between posting the Friday shows and now this i could see my self watching a lot less justintv
Awesome List!
i was bummed that i missed the fat princess TNT but having wwatched it, i'm glad i did. They weren't even trying to understand whats going on. Such a shame :/
you are the man. I have downloaded all of these so they may live on forever on my harddrive. only problem I'm having is when I try to download Team Fortress 2 it's the same video as Transformers WFC
Thank you for this. I wasn't sure if there was a way to see the MW2 TNT anymore (that's the only one I've been on).
thanks for the lilst
still shocked that the GM crew doesn't have it on their video archive
Wow, just wanted to say thanks for the effort duder! This is a fantastic list and will come immensely in handy as I love watching these while I'm working on other projects.
Great resource and well organized. Good job, sir.
Fucking bookmarked! Thanks!
Fucken saved!
This list is incredible, keep up the great work!
This is great thanks!
Man, that MMA TNT was great. I love the fighting game nights.
This list just made my day. I had no idea all of the TNTs were available for member download. I thought that was new with the last few. Thanks!
This is definitely one of the most useful lists on the site. Great job.

What stencil did Sampras use?
I remember him having a black stripe along the bottom couple crosses similar to the Babolat stencil. What was that exactly?
If memory serves me well, he used the Superman "S" and said it stood for "Sampras".........not very original in my opinion.....
ok, joking aside, he used both Babolat and Wilson Stencils. He used Babolat b/c he always played with VS gut strings, and well, the Wilson stencil is pretty obvious....
Oh, and I'll help you choose a bag......I think the new nCode Super Six pack looks pretty sweet...
I bought a nike 3 pack last month here for $40 and now it's selling for $30 on ****! yay!

Fort Myers Police Department Awarded Traffic Safety Grant
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 29 /PRNewswire/ — All Traffic Solutions, the leader in solutions for traffic safety outcomes, awarded the Fort Myers Police Department (FMPD) in Fort Myers, FL with a Traffic Safety Grant. The department presented compelling information on its traffic safety needs in and around its schools, a situation compounded each year by the influx of "snowbirds," or temporary residents coming to Florida for the winter. The outstanding grant application submitted by FMPD earned them a portable radar speed display.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100429/PH95360 )
Doug Baker, Fort Myers Police Chief is pleased to incorporate this smart device in the city's traffic safety efforts. "We are looking at it from an educational standpoint," Chief Baker notes. "We want to make sure we are warning drivers to be careful and cautious around our elementary, middle and high schools." Lee County School District is one of the 50 largest school districts in the nation. In 2009, 66 speeding violations were issued in a school zone and 9 violations were issued for unlawful speeding of a school bus in a school zone.
Chief Baker also noted a correlation between traffic volume and crime volume. If the police department knows where and when the traffic volume is occurring, they can staff appropriately and be on the look out for other violations occurring in the area.
Scott Johnson, Vice President of All Traffic Solutions presented the radar speed display to the FMPD and school officials at a ceremony held on March 29(th). Johnson explained that the incorporation of the device into the traffic safety plan would "help law enforcement better understand where its problem areas are and to make staffing decisions based on this information."
The officials attending the ceremony were thrilled to see firsthand that the sign could be assembled and in operation in just five minutes. The FMPD plans on moving the device regularly between the 14 public, 6 charter, and more than a half dozen private schools in the area.
