(Version History) ---- ----------------------------------------- Version 1.21 | April 30, 2005 | 508 kb One very tiny update to clear up the subject of a number of e-mails that I've been recieving as of late. No more e-mails about the Kerotan in Dolinovodno! Version 1.10 | March 8, 2005 | 505 kb Haven't updated in a while. Now with the PAL release I feel that I should to at least update all the new stuff in that version of the game. So, besides the PAL extras, I listed some more FAQs, and added in some new reader submissions. People have been sending me stuff for months and I haven't payed any attention to them in the slightest. This will alos be one of the last updates for a while, I'm losing interest in this guide and this game. I'm moving on to the dark side, I'm playing Splinter Cell! *gets shot by fanboys* Version 1.00 | January 18, 2005 | 486 kb I finally (FINALLY) completed the plot summary. It's a bit lengthy and I split it up into sections for easier reading. I also fixed a few confusing errors in the appendices and the game basics sections. I'm considering this the first complete version of the guide. I've got all the information I want in here and I think I've reached a point where the guide is very comprehensive. I'm going to be working on some other things in the coming time so updates are going to slow down. The only thing that is left is to do 40-something descriptions for the plants and animals in the game but I'm too lazy/bored/uninterested to finish it up. Version 0.85 | Januray 6, 2005 | 408 kb Whew...I completely reformatted the walkthrough for the game. Each section now has a distinct header as well as a lost of each plant, animal, item, and weapon. Hopefully this helps a bit. I'm working on the plot summary right now, it's currently at the point where Snake sees encounters Volgin outside Ponizovje Warehouse. Version 0.80 | January 2, 2005 | 343 kb So...after recieving some rather inflammatory e-mails about one astonishingly small mistake I've now changed one of my answers in the FAQ section to read differently. Calm down, dudes! So anyways, I've fixed some of the tables... some of them weren't formatting 100% properly. I also updated the copyright notice and added in a huge amount of submissions from one very-well motivated reader. Version 0.70 | December 23, 2004 | 333 kb HUGE UPDATE!! I updated all of the boss strategies by expanding them and putting them into paragraph form. I fixed up the walkthrough by removing some unnecessary formatting and changed some of the general headings in the guide to make it a little more organized. I also did a small Kerotan Frog walkthrough for all of you people looking for those frogs. In addition to that I even spellchecked the guide and found a few hundred spelling errors! The Secrets & Easter Eggs section has also been doubled in length with new secrets. Version 0.60 | December 16, 2004 | 274 kb Walkthrough completed! Whew! Now I'm going to take a well deserved break and rest up so that I can...ah screw it. Who am I kidding. I'll be back in a few days with yet another update! Version 0.50 | December 13, 2004 | 252 kb Completed the walkthrough up until the re-entrance of Groznyj Grad. I also tweaked some formatting here and there in the guide. I also added in some things to the appendices to make them slightly more informative. I'll be working on the appendices in full once I get the walkthrough done. By the next update I'll try and have the entire walkthrough completed. Version 0.35 | December 10, 2004 | 216 kb I completed the walkthrough up until the fight with The End. When will I update next? I'm not sure, depends on how much motivation some of you fools have sapped from me by sending me so many dim-witted e-mails. Version 0.26 | December 6, 2004 | 199 I removed some things due to certain complications that I won't go into right now. Consider this a de-update or something like that. Version 0.25 | December 3, 2004 | 204 kb Sorry for the delay but I had quite a bit of homework to do and a long power outage two days ago. I've resumed my normal pace and I've gotten up to the battle with The Fear. I've added in a load of reader submissions as well as fixing numerous errors that were found in the guide. Version 0.20 | November 29, 2004 | 179 kb Some new reader submissions and a bit more walkthrough. I'm getting too many e-mails about things already in the guide. READ THE ****ING GUIDE, NITWITS! Version 0.18 | November 27, 2004 | 161 kb Ugh, I was having some problems getting my walkthrough off the laptop and onto the computer I use for everything else. The floppy disk drive crapped out on me so I had to figure out how to transfer the files with a USB cable. Got it working fine, at least for now. Anyways, in this update I added in a Search String, added in some camos, a good amount of fan submissions, and a few new areas of walkthrough. Version 0.15 | November 25, 2004 | 143 kb Thanks to the dozen or so people that e-mailed me about how great this guide is. In this update I have completed the weapons info, added in some of the first camouflages in the game, completed the items section, and added in some boss strategies. The Frequently Asked Questions section has been updated for the first time, it now contains most of the questions I have been bombarded with about both the gameplay and the story. I have also added in a plot summary for MGS and MGS2 submitted by Grant Gordon (futuresuperstar). Next update should contain some boss strategies as well as some new walkthrough. Version 0.10 | November 23, 2004 | 88 kb The walkthrough covers Operation Virtuous Mission in its entirety. There are a few partially completed appendices as well. More updates to come soon. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 01) Introduction Introduction [01INTD] 02) Game Basics [02GMBS] Controls [02CNTR] Game System [02SYST] Actions [02ACTN] Close Quarters Combat [02CQCT] Infiltration Logic [02INFL] 03) Metal Gear Solid 3 -- Walkthrough [03WLKT] Virtuous Mission [03VRTM] Operation Snake Eater [03OSET] Part 1 [03OSE1] Part 2 [03OSE2] Part 3 [03OSE3] Part 4 [03OSE4] 04) Appendices [04APPN] Weapons [04WPNS] Items [04ITMS] Camouflage and Face Paint [04CMFP] Food [04FOOD] Bosses [04BSSS] Secrets and Easter Eggs [04SCRT] Fun Stuff [04FNST] Radio Frequencies [04RDIO] Kerotan Frogs [04KERO] Characters [04CHRC] Previous Story [04PRVS] Song Lyrics [04SNGL] NTSC/PAL Changes [04NPCH] Frequently Asked Questions [04FAQS] 05) Plot Summary & Analysis [05PLOT] 06) Conclusion [06CNCL] Legal Notice [06LGLN] Contributor Credits [06CNTN] Conclusion [06CNLS] ___________________________________________________________________ - Navigating the Guide - The entire guide is broken up into sections, sub-sections and so on.

On the horrifying contrary, they found themselves controlling an effeminate newbie called Raiden. Fans of the series were in shock, how could this be possible? Many promptly lost their faith in the series and moved on to playing inferior substitutes such as Splinter Cell :P (note to the quick-to-jump-to-conclusions, I love Splinter Cell. It's just a joke, calm down.) However, there were people who were drawn in by the convoluted storyline and perhaps some of the best gameplay ever to grace a gaming console. The fans that stuck around for the next installation have been rewarded with a masterpiece. And just like that masterpiece of a game, this FAQ will be one to treasure forever as one of those truly moving experiences. You will be taken for a long and winding ride as I explain the intricacies of walking around and navigating the menus. Once I have accomplished that I will boggle your brain by taking you step by step through each moment of the game. Hm...I'm going to stop trying to sound important. Basically, this FAQ is meant to help you get out of just about any jam that you get into. I'll also be explaining just about every minor detail about how the game works how it should be played, what you can do in the game, and anything else that I can throw in. I'm hoping for a completely comprehensive guide for the game and I did it just for you guys, don't you feel special? Please take note that this is not at all a story-synopsis or a character FAQ, if you have any story related questions then I am not the person to ask. You may direct your questions to the message boards, to your friends, your goldfish, or any of the other FAQ writers that have covered this game as long as it is not me. This guide is strictly about the gameplay of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. There is --some-- story related materials in here but I try to keep it at a bare minimum. If you are still reading at this point then I would like to say that I appreciate you taking the time to look at my guide and I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading it and find it of the most use. * * * If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or contributions to make then you can e-mail me at the address provided below. I will only accept questions, comments, suggestions, and contributions if they abide by the guidelines outlined below. I do not think that I am asking much by doing that, but if you do have a problem with that then I ask you just not send me anything at all. I understand that this makes me seem a bit anal but when you get as many e-mails as I do you can't afford to deal with stuff you don't want to. * El Greco : REMOVED SUBJECT LINE : Metal Gear Solid 3 DO -- - Point out errors - Give me strategies for parts of the game that you feel you know lots about - Write legible sentences - Include good grammar - Ask for help about things not already answered in this guide - Look through the guide before contacting me to make sure I haven't already answered your question DO NOT ------ - Send me viruses - Spam me - Insult me - Use excessive profanity - Use background colors, e.g. yellow font against a black background - Send irrelevant e-mails - TyPe lIkE tHiS, tHiS ReAlLy PisSEs mE OFF! - Ask questions that are answered in this guide - Add attachments to your e-mail - NO 1337 SPEAK ============================================================================== ---- Chapter 2 : Game Basics ---- [02GMBS] ============================================================================== S T E A L T H G A M E infiltrate and avoid detection STEAL vt.{stole stolen} to perform an action in a silent, secretive manner. vi. to proceed secretively, to sneak to move silently. n. stealth the act of moving silently and secretly. Metal Gear Solid 3 is a 3D action-adventure game that lets you experience the thrill of sneaking past the enemy without being seen. You play the role of Snake, who must infiltrate enemy territory and carry out a top-secret mission. If the enemy sees you, they'll call for reinforcements and things are bound to get rough. You'll want to avoid battle whenever possible. Knowing how to survive in hostile territory will be crucial. In this mission, your top priority will be staying alive in a combat zone. Raid provisions warehouses to get supplies for maintaining stamina and treat wounds to keep Snake in fighting condition. The game is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons or groups, living or dead, is purely coincidental. +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ +-- Controls --+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ [02CNTR] The controls in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater are complex. Almost every button has a different function depending what item you have equipped, your position (crawling, against a wall), or any other circumstance. They are very context sensitive. This section that immediately follows will provide you with a basic outline of what each button can do and then the next few sections after that will detail how to do each of those and some special actions and such. X Button - * Cancel selection * Crouch (move to crawl) * Press while moving to roll Circle Button - * Engage CQC * Punch * Confirmation button * Grab enemy Square Button - * Shoot weapon * Zoom out Triangle Button - * Action button (open doors, climb ladders) * Interact with cut-scene * Zoom in START Button - * Pause the game * Activate survival viewer SELECT Button - * Open radio interface R1 Shoulder Button - * First-person view R2 Shoulder Button - * Open weapons menu * Quick equip/unequip * Strafe right (first-person) * Shuffle right (against wall) L1 Shoulder Button - * Shoulder aim (first-person) * Keep aim in one direction (third person) L2 Shoulder Button - * Open items menu * Quick equip/unequip * Strafe left (first-person) * Shuffle left (against wall) Directional Pad - * Move character (stalking) * Navigate menu Left Analog Stick - * Move character (normal movement) * Navigate menu Right Analog Stick - * Move camera * Lock camera (depress the analog stick) +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ +-- Game System --+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ [02SYST] --- RADAR ------------------ Unlike in previous Metal Gear Solid games this game does not default to the usual Soliton Radar that we have come to know and love. Instead we now have a battery powered mechanical radar that picks up everything that is living around you. That means frogs, birds, snakes, and so on will all appear on your radar. Be careful with this since you may get into some trouble either running for your life from a frog or running out of battery power and not being able to use it at all. --- GAUGES ------------------ Life Gauge ------------ This is the one gauge that you will want to watch closest for the entire game. This gauge represents Snake's life. The more of it that is filled up the more life he has, the lower it is the less life he has. This gauge can be restored by using the Cure menu or by taking Life Recovery medicines. When the Life Gauge turns red at any point in the game that means that Snake has gotten a serious injury such as a broken bone, gunshot wound, stab wound or otherwise. What you want to do when this happens is go into the Survival Viewer and then into the Cure menu and use the proper procedures and supplies to heal Snake up. See the Cure section for more information. Please note that smoking Cigars will slowly but surely decrease Snake's Life Gauge, but it will only deplete it to the point where he will begin to bleed. Once it reaches that point it will stop depleting health. Stamina Gauge --------------- This gauge shows how much energy Snake has left. The higher his Stamina bar is the more energy he has and the better he will perform in combat and other situations. This bar is decreased by almost everything that you do: walking, running, climbing, hanging, and so on. Once he gets down to the last 1/4 of the bar his performance will become very impaired and many things will become difficult to do: running, stalking, climbing, aiming and so on. You will want this to be in the top 3/4 most of the time. You can save yourself some of the bar by thinking ahead and performing actions that are essential and nothing else. The bar can be recovered quite easily though as long as you have some food for Snake to munch on. Certain foods will give him more stamina than others but all will give some sort of contribution. Grip Gauge ------------ This only appears when Snake is hanging off of a ledge or railing. As soon as Snake enters Hanging Mode the gauge will appear on screen. As it decreases Snake will gradually lose his grip on the surface he is holding onto. When it reaches zero Snake will fall. He may or may not die or lose health depending upon how high up he is. If you do not wish for him to fall then you want to get him back up onto a solid surface by pressing the "Action Button". Please note that the duration of the grip gauge also depends upon how much stamina Snake has. The less he has the faster the gauge will drop and vice versa. --- ENEMY TACTICS AND INTELLIGENCE ------------------ The jump made in enemy intelligence from the last game is almost comparable to that made between MGS and MGS2. In MGS3 the enemies have received a whole new array of tactics and decisions to take you out with speed and precision. If you think I am saying this in pure jest you may go and try to outwit the guards yourself. Not easy, is it? The enemy in this game will flank, use suppressing fire, flush you out with grenades, take cover, back each other up and so on. Think you can sit behind that tree forever? Think again. The enemy will most likely toss a grenade in your direction to either kill you or flush you out of hiding. They succeed a surprising amount of times when they do this. Also take note that the enemy will not simply stop firing at you if you have one of their comrades taken hostage. They will circle around, cut off your exits, attack you with a knife, and maybe even sacrifice their comrade to kill you. Basically, expect the enemy to be smarter than the average bear, as Yogi likes to say. They behave and act and perform just like a well-trained soldier and unit. Don't_underestimate_them. --- ALERT MODES ------------------ Unlike in previous Metal Gear games as soon as you alert a guard or make him suspicious you will be in Alert or Caution mode, depending upon what you did to alert the guard. When either of the modes start there will by a timer that counts down to zero. If you are in Caution mode and the timer reaches zero the game will go back to normal. If you are in alert mode then the game will drop down to evasion and then caution and then back to normal once each of the respective timers has fully counted down. --- RADIO ------------------ Unlike in the first two Metal Gear Solid games Snake must now communicate with his allies via a field radio (as opposed to the nanotech Codec). The radio will allow him to dial into specific frequencies to contact certain people. When a person is reached a picture of them will pop up on screen and Snake and the character will converse. The radio can be used to find things out about certain characters, plants, animals, survival techniques and so on. It is pretty much an information database at your fingertips. Different frequencies will contact different people so make sure you are on the right frequency before transmitting. It is not, however, necessary to memorize all the frequencies by yourself. There is a small options screen below the main interface where you can select a previously used frequency so that you don't have to remember it or constantly dial it in. There are also some special frequencies in the game that will open various doors or do other things for you. Some might cancel an alert mode, some might play some elevator music. ----------------- Radio Frequencies ----------------- -- Virtuous Mission -- Major Tom - 140.85 Para-Medic - 145.73 The Boss - 141.80 SAVE - 141.96 -- Operation Snake Eater -- Major Tom - 140.85 Para-Medic - 145.73 Sigint - 148.41 Eva - 142.52 SAVE - 141.96 Please see the designated appendix for a complete listing of all the Cancel Alert, Fire Support, and Special Frequencies for all the difficulties. * RANDOM TRIVIA * When you are talking to someone over the radio you will be able to see a few different pictures of them as well as a small dossier. Just use the d-pad to scroll through all of this and find what you are looking for. Note that you can only do this while talking to the person not at any other time. --- CURE SYSTEM ------------------ Face it, you're bound to get shot or take a few hits at some point in this game. Thankfully Metal Gear Solid 3 implements a nifty new system for you to take action and heal yourself. You can extract bullets, wrap wounds, set bones, and use an anti-venom serum in case you are bitten by one of the snakes in the game. How can you do this? Well read on... -- Gunshot Wound -- * Survival Knife * Disinfectant * Styptic * Bandage -- Leeches -- * Cigar -- Broken Bone -- * Splint * Bandage -- Cut -- * Disinfectant * Styptic * Suture * Bandage -- Burn -- * Ointment * Bandage -- Arrows or Bolts or Needles -- * Survival Knife --- DIFFICULTY MODES ------------------ For those of you non-hardcore (or hardcore) gamers out there, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater features five different difficulty modes for you to test your skillz on. You will be asked to select a difficulty mode whenever you start a new game, or continue a game that has been fully completed. You will be presented with four or five options depending upon whether or not you have already beaten the game. If this is your first play through you will only have Very Easy, Easy, Normal, and Hard available. If you are playing through a second time then you will be presented with all of the options: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Extreme available for your pleasure... or displeasure. Please note that you CANNOT change the difficulty of your game. If you want to play on a new difficulty you must start a new file. * Very Easy * I must say that this is very, very easy. Guards can't hear much of anything, they are nearly blind, they die easily, there is far less of them, and they are quite unintelligent. The bosses pretty much fall under the same category. They take a lot of damage from you and do little to you. If you leave an area with the alarm hooting it will be turned off when you enter another. Cautions and alerts last for a very short time. This difficulty is not difficult at all. * Easy * A little bit tougher than Very Easy but it is still very unchallenging. Guards can see a little bit further, hear better, and so on. Once gain in this difficulty the alarm will be reset upon entering a new area. Everything is just slightly harder but overall it is still pretty damned easy. * Normal * This is where you should start if Snake Eater is your first Metal Gear Solid game. Everything is pretty well balanced here for any player. It isn't too hard and it isn't easy either. Guards can see somewhat well and hear better than the lower difficulties. If you have an alert in one area and enter another it will stay. This is also the difficulty the walkthrough section is based upon. * Hard * For those of you who are hardcore Metal Gear Solid fans. This is the difficulty I played through on my first time through the game. There seems to be a big jump in difficulty between Normal and Hard. The bosses do much more damage and you do less to them. Guards work the same way. There are many more guards, they can see, hear, and make better decisions. This is also for people who are looking for a challenge but not an incredibly hard one. This is also the difficulty the walkthrough section is based upon. * Extreme * This is a smashing difficulty level. "Smashing" as in it will induce wild fits of rage that will send you smashing everything in sight. This mode is incredibly realistic. Three shots from a guard and you are dead, if you are in their line of sight across a large room they will spot you easily, they have excellent hearing, they aren't complete dumbasses when it comes to capturing you, and there are many more guards in each room. Bosses deal out one hit kills or something very close to that. In other words: this is only for the possessed or insane. The difficulty levels differ in these ways, - The amount of damage done when falling from a high distance - duration of stamina gauge and grip gauge - eyesight of guards - hearing ability of guards - intelligence of guards - length of caution mode/evasion/alert mode - damage done by bosses/guards - damage you do to bosses/guards - amount of time guards stay knocked out/tranquilized - number of assault team members - accuracy of guards - how much cold exposure for your character to catch a cold - availability of items and ammo - amount of trembling when sniping - tranquilizer effect time - stamina restored when eating - Your backpack storage space +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ +-- Actions --+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ [02ACTN] --- BASIC MOVEMENT ------------------ I probably don't have to explain this but I guarantee that if I don't I will get an e-mail asking about this. Whenever you want to move your character around in this game you must use the left analog stick or the directional pad. The direction of the stick or pad will correspond to the on-screen movement of the character --- STAND / PRONE ------------------ There is a very small change in this system from other MGS games. In this game you can hold down the X button while standing and Snake will go straight to the prone position. Tapping it (like usual) will just bring Snake to a crouching position. If you want to go from prone to a standing position hold down X instead of tapping it and Snake will stand up immediately. --- FIRST PERSON VIEW ATTACK ------------------ This allows you to a

... wow!
We split into teams of 4 and "competed" against each other. It seems one of the tricks is to have more weight. The team I was on ended up 5th, smack in the middle but not so bad. You're supposed to sit as straight as possible but it was a little hard at first going around the turns as your head whips a little, but it was fun. You don't even feel like you're going horizontal when you are. A great experience ...
Wanting out
... we should come over right away. So Nina went back onto the trailer and we drove thirty kilometres out to see this man.
His place was really something from a dream, from another planet. His massive yard was filled with piles of metal, and well...just everything you might possible ever need for anything. His work shop was two industrial size sheds, one filled with cranes and every machine one could possible dream of to make any piece or new part, the other ...
A perfect day - forgetting our troubles on Sunday
... and slipped down the rocky, moss and lichen covered slope. The moss and lichens are so beautiful, never before have I seen so many different, large and colourful mosses, it was really beautiful.
When I made it down the river, several minutes before Felix who was taking pictures, I was so excited, the river was so beautiful! I was calling out to Felix in such excitement to hurry down, I just wanted him to see this beautiful sight. The river ...
Hating Nina and playing naked in the rain
... AGAIN and ended up meeting Per and Ole, but this has just tipped me over, I don't know how much I can take. It's bloody ridiculous and I feel like such an idiot for ever thinking this could actually work. If it wasn't for the hundreds of kilos of junk and a **** heap of a bike stuck to me in the middle of a forest in the middle of nowhere I would be walking away right now. But I'm still here because there is no other option.
A lesson in kindness
... We packed up quickly and followed him down through a steep hay field to a little gypsy caravan by a lake. It was full of his children's floating water toys and other odds and ends for fun by the lake. Tucked down the back were two very narrow beds with a foam mattress on each. He showed us his boat and offered that we may take it out rowing, talked with us for a while longer then went speeding back up to the house, his van followed by a cloud of black smoke. Just like that ...

I have a Django application I'm developing that must make a system call to an external program on the server. In creating the command for the system call, the application takes values from a form and uses them as parameters for the call. I suppose this means that one can essentially use bogus parameters and write arbitrary commands for the shell to execute (e.g., just place a semicolon and then
rm -rf *).
This is bad. While most users aren't malicious, it is a potential security problem. How does one handle these potential points of exploit?
EDIT (for clarification): The users will see a form that is split up with various fields for each of the parameters and options. However some fields will be available as open text fields. All of these fields are combined and fed to
subprocess.check_call(). Technically, though, this isn't separated too far from just handing the users a command prompt. This has got to be fairly common, so what do other developers do to sanitize input so that they don't get a Bobby Tables.

34 year old man | Covina, CA, USA | Seeking women 26-35 within 5 miles
Strong in character, honesty, and class. I love to look nice and smell nice. Focused and looking for a lifetime partner.
How does one summarize who they are? Rarely do we take the time to look at ourselves from the outside, afraid to see the cracks in the surface. This is my journey. To find my companion. To find someone who can walk with me and give me the strength to travel the path ahead. At the same time, you must be accepting of the strength and passion that I bring. As a Libra I love to listen and to give. Basically I'm looking for a serious relationship. I'm done with temporary. We all have numerous interests that we say we're into. But let's be real. We actually participate in such a small number of those. I want to do so much, but I want a companion with whom I can share those experiences. My passions as of late include roller skating at whatever rink I happen upon. Reading articles on technology and psychology. I want to get out to hike and camp more. I have two amazing boys who come stay with me on the 2nd and 4th weekends. My ex-wife and I have a very cordial relationship so there are no concerns of drama. She has moved on and now it's my turn. In the interest of full disclosure, I've had a vasectomy, so no more babies for me. If you don't have kids, you must at least love kids as much as I do. I also have an adorable Pomeranian Chihuahua who loves everyone, so you must love dogs. I'm an animal lover in general. If you've survived this far into my profile then I invite you to send a wink, a favorite, or perhaps even a message. I like women willing to go after what they want. I find myself to be a fairly traditional gentleman, there are few things more attractive than a woman who knows what she wants and the motivation to go after it. So let's see where this goes. Perhaps we can both build an amazing future.

Tests to help your doctor see if
colorectal cancer has
spread or come back include:
Colorectal cancer often comes
back, even after treatment that seemed successful. If you had colorectal cancer in the
past, pay close attention to your body and see your doctor regularly. Tell your
doctor about any changes, such as decreased appetite, bloating, or an increase
in the size of your belly.
Your cancer may return even if you do
everything you can to prevent it. If this happens, focus on what you and your
doctor can do to treat your symptoms to help you feel better and live

This is a very plain restaurant. I have a friend that likes "Italian" marinara sauce and that is why we go here. The spagetti is good and the location is fine. Prices seem low to me.

Mayor Bob Filner's troubled tenure
A chronology of the mayor's highs and lows
Feb. 11: Filner appeared on CNN to respond to Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign to lure California companies to Texas.
Feb. 20: The simmering feud between Filner and Goldsmith erupted when the mayor interrupted the city attorney's news conference and accused Goldsmith of "unethical and unprofessional conduct."
Feb. 22: Filner opened a City of San Diego office in Tijuana, pitching the idea of a binational bid with Tijuana to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the region.
Tourism funding standoff
Feb. 22:Hoteliers sued Filner and the city over his refusal to sign an agreement authorizing San Diego's Tourism Marketing District to oversee tourism marketing funds. A back-and-forth battle ensued with lawsuits, vetoes and overrides.
March 14: Filner and Frye launched sandiego.gov/opengov, a website that acts as a one-stop shop for public information from city employee pay and pensions to contracts to lawsuits.
March 21: A judge upheld Filner's right not to sign the tourism agreement.

April 22: The City Council rebuffed the mayor's proposed ordinance for medical marijuana dispensaries.

May 7: Filner asked former presidential candidate Mitt Romney to help with a binational bid for the 2024 Olympics.
May 20: Filner injected himself into a federal criminal prosecution, encouraging jurors to find the former owner of medical marijuana dispensaries not guilty of drug charges.

29.04.07 - Hennessy Sports promoted John Murray is not surprised that his British lightweight rival Amir Khan rejected an offer to fight him this Saturday on potentially the biggest event in boxing history, despite the Olympic Silver medalist's false claim that he 'played' with him in sparring. Undefeated Manchester star Murray, 22, will have his 21st professional fight on the undercard of the highly anticipated showdown between Oscar de la Hoya, his US co-promoter, and Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand..
Murray's team-mate John O'Donnell, the English Welterweight champion, will also feature. 'The Golden One,' who has strong Irish heritage, boxes Mexico's Christian Solano over ten rounds.
The opponent for Murray, who impressed US fight fans after impressively outpointing Johnny Walker on the Lacy-Reid undercard in Florida in 2005, is set to be announced shortly.
The history making WBC World Youth Lightweight champion would have liked to have seen Khan in the opposite corner, particularly after his recent comments in the press, but he rejected the opportunity to make his US debut. Instead Khan faces Commonwealth champion Willie Limmond later this summer.
"I think Khan's a complete joker," said Murray. "He makes all these claims and then won't back them up. I'm still waiting for an answer. When and where was this spar meant to have happened? It's a fairy tale.
"If he thinks he can play with me, he may as well prove it. If you listened to him it would be a mismatch, but that shouldn't be a problem. I don't reckon he's fought a live opponent yet.
"His next fight looks like another easy touch to me. He knows I'm a tougher fighter than Willie Limmond. He has fought once in almost a year and a half, is really a super-featherweight and doesn't hit hard. Amir is too big for Limmond.
"I'm not surprised he didn't want to fight me over here, or anywhere else for that matter. I believe he's all talk. My promoter Mick Hennessy has told them that we want the fight and that it can happen further down the line, all he has do is step up to the plate.
"In the meantime I'm going to continue a proper apprenticeship. I'm doing things the right way, where as other lightweight prospects in Britain are just fighting fringe fighters who are there in front of them to be bashed up."
Murray has been training in the same Los Angeles gym that Oscar de la Hoya has been using since arriving in America. The Golden Boy Promotions and Hennessy Sports teams relocate to Vegas tonight.
"This is what prospects should be doing," said Murray, who is soaking up the atmosphere in America. "The experience I will be getting by boxing on such a big show will stand me in good stead for the future. I'm only 22 and there aren't many fighters who have got this experience at this point in their careers.
"There aren't many other fighters from Britain fighting over here full stop. John and I want to show the world there are two great British fighters coming through."
"The media attention will be massive for this event. So we will be looking to put on a great performance and shine in front of everyone. We have both been on fire in the gym.
"There will be a bit of nerves in there but that will make me better on the night. I've fought in
America before and the occasion brought the best out of me. It made me sharp and I'm going to want to knock my opponent out on May 5th."

Hi, Please let me know how you differentiate between competency and Skill. Also what is the difference between competency mapping and Skill matrix.Regards Ramesh
Please refer this thread and the articles about "skill inventory". This will surely shed some light.
See the section on Skillful or competent at the end of the article.
I don't like their definition. Maybe it can give you something to re-look at.
http://www.expresscomputeronline.com...ologylife01.sh tml
Hope that helps.
Sorry about that. I messed up with the file extension.
http://
 <a href="http://www.e...tml

Allright ...just ensure that as you copy-paste the link the last words (file extension is together. "shtml"
This should work well!
competency is usually more encompassing that skill and is often used to refer to the collection of skills, knowledge and attitudes required to perform a work task to a minimum standard
hope that helps
For example :
Machine operation is the skill of a worker and leadership is the competency of a manager.
Skill matrix is used for finding the training need of the workers and competency mapping is input for training ,appraisals,selection of managers.
if still u want any further clarification u can call me on my cell

Josh Orlian Really Does Have Talent
After all, the 12-year-old comedian knew how to make Howie Mandel kvell
Much Jewish ink has been spilled already on Josh Orlian, the 12-year-old yarmulke'd wonder from White Plains, N.Y., who alternately wowed and shocked the judges on America's Got Talent the other night by performing his stand-up act—you know, the one he performs for his three weirdo friends in the coat room when they're supposed to be in the children's service. We've heard outrage about his temerity to appear in the vestments of frumness and then tell dirty jokes, how his act was an affront to his parents (although, obviously, one wants to be supportive), and fury at his parents themselves for allowing their son to do such a thing.
I'm not religious and I'm not a parent, so I'm not too bothered by either of these things, and anyone who thinks a yarmulke is some talisman against hormones has never been to a USY convention. But I am a person of the comic persuasion, and, as such, I'm in awe. Not of his jokes, which, frankly, were pretty tame by current standards, or his delivery, which could use a little work, but whatever, it was his first time.
What impresses me is how at the tender age of 12 (not even bar mitzvah'd!) Josh Orlian has already mastered the first, and perhaps only, rule of comedy: know your audience. The only people that matter at this stage of the competition are the judges, and there was no way, no way, that Howie Mandel and Howard Stern were going to look at this incarnation of their past selves, an awkward little Jewish boy making jokes about his penis, and not put him through to the next round. (Heidi Klum, for her part, just saw his yarmulke and immediately said Ja, as was mandated decades ago in the Marshall Plan.)
So it was no surprise that we'll be seeing more of Josh in the future. What I found more surprising was how moved I was watching Howard and Howie watching him. Is this the little boy I carried? Today, he is a man. It was a comic's bar mitzvah, with Rabbi Stern and Cantor Mandel. We'll see how forgiving they are when he comes back with his haftorah.

Android 4.1 and 4.2 cannot pair with PINless devices such as bluetooth mouse and keyboards. Only a single app called Bluetooth pair can barely do this, and the app is in Japanese and it's very unstable. If you add a pairing function that avoids the Request PIN dialog, I assure that BToolkit will become one of the MOST popular apps here in the store.

A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on an ICE Resin kit that included several bezels, decorative elements like glitter, papers, and even some sparkling cup chain, mixing cups and sticks, and enough ICE Resin to fill them all! So, one chilly January afternoon, I decided to take a break after lunch and play!
If you've never made a resin pendant before by layering different elements into an empty bezel, it's a wonderful way to create unique pendants and focal pieces for your beaded jewelry patterns. What I love most about this particular mixed media jewelry technique is how each of the resin pendants that I made have their own little story.
Have you found a new way to tell stories with mixed media jewelry making techniques? Leave a comment here on the Beading Daily blog and share your ideas and creations with us!
Bead Happy,
Hi there, just letting you know that the formatting for the blogs posts is messed up. Maybe it only looks this way on this computer, though. It seems to be 'squeezed' looking.
Jennifer, those are truly grand little tidbits.........I was looking at the little buddah when my other half walked in the room and he was quite taken with that also. Knowing it came from your mom's jewels makes it even better. And MIL's card link is also very sweet. Hmmm, do I see this ending up as a necklace or a bracelet? DMZ
What brand of bezels do you use? Where can I purchase them ? I haven't seen these before and I really like them. I too am really taken with the Buddah. I have been setting aside little tidbits for a while now and plan to get some resin soon to try this. I already have Susan Lenart Kazmer's book.
Outlier here: I like your "Oops" best of all. To me, the visual texture created by the unexpected seepage combines with the asymmetrical glitter to create an interesting textural abstract. But then, I'm drawn to texture and pattern rather than to the steampunk and vintage, so <i>chacun à son goût</i>!

I was surprised to read that 1 out of every 8 hospital deaths in Oman occurs due to cancer. Just think of those numbers! Cancer has wrecked havoc across this globe and really can be seen as one of the major killers out there. I'm reminded of my twin brother who during a trivia contest as a teen, when asked, "What is Canada's #1 killer?" answered, "Clifford Olsen" (a serial killer in the Vancouver area at the time) rather than the correct answer which was "cancer". You might understand why the audience chuckled; to compare a demented soul who killed 11 kids to the grand-daddy of all killers that crushes families by the millions each year seems ludicrous. Have any of you seen this chart at one of the hospitals in Oman? Of course the number that really jumps out at you is the 17.7% of women diagnosed with breast cancer. In both America and Canada October is known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BRAM). (Click here to see other awareness weeks and months in Canada.) Why not take a few minutes to check out the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month website here?! If you have the time and money, why not support cancer awareness by attending this special event, Parampara, at the Al Bustan Palace this coming October 21st? Click here to learn more about the National Association for Cancer Awareness (NACA) in Oman.
They say that early detection is very imporant in the prevention of cancer. Read these helpful guidelines from the Ministry of Health here in Oman on guidelines to early detection and lifestyle choices that can often protect us from cancer. My heart goes out to any of you out there who has lost a loved one to the horrors of cancer. I can't even imagine what it must be like. To any of you out there struggling now with this devastating disease, may God give you the strength! To those of us in good health, may we always be thankful for the oftentimes overlooked and taken for granted blessings of health!

Human rights: dismissing church employees for adultery
By STEVEHILL
Added: Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:35:29 UTC
I am indebted to the National Secular Society for highlighting a recent decision of the European Court of Human Rights, which may yet be appealed further.
The Mormon church in Germany was entitled to dismiss a senior employee - the European Director for Public Relations - who admitted to his seniors that his marriage was failing and he had entered into an affair with another woman.
However, the Catholic church in Germany was wrong to dismiss an organist on similar grounds. An organist's marital status (or "bigamy" as the church preferred to call it in the proceedings) was not central to the church's credibility.
The latter case at least may well impact on the exemptions given in UK law to churches to discriminate on employment grounds when employing people for jobs e.g. in faith schools. The ECHR position appears to be that discrimination will only be permitted for very senior posts, or clerics, where to wilfully flout the church's teachings on e.g. marriage undermines the credibility of the church itself. It is hardly likely that could be said in the case of, say, a village primary school teacher.
It is depressing to note that both cases have taken some 12 years to get this far.
Simply ... should I read the bible?

I've used both the Helios and various Takumar's, the Helios isn't a bad lens at all but an f1.8 Takumar is definitely better at wider apertures.
My first publish image, a magazine cover was shot with a Helios anda Zenit E, but there's something about the Takumar image quality that gives them an edge. But similar 50mm lenses from the rest of big manufacturers, Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc are just as good they just won't fit the Nova as well.

Class of '12: South Fort Myers High grad has passion for cultures, travel
SOUTH FORT MYERS - This is one of a series of reports publishing through the end of May about some of the outstanding seniors in the Class of 2012.
■ From good grades to school involvement, First Baptist grad a class act
■ Neumann graduate wants to teach, help people overseas
Raina Stevens is curious. She's curious about the world, people and their cultures.
"Sometimes you see it, but you don't understand it," the 17-year-old said. "But when you understand, you can relate to it and see each other."
The South Fort Myers High School 2012 Graduate of Distinction already has an associate's degree in general studies from Edison State College on top of a jam-packed high school career.
The class president, cheerleader, and track and soccer player maintained a 3.56 grade point average while taking a handful of advanced placement and honors classes. She is part of a graduating class of about 330.
Her older brother, Juma Stevens, said her determination could have something to do with her upbringing in a country where things weren't always handed to you.
At age 11, Raina Stevens moved with her family from the Virgin Islands to Florida.
"The most basic things like food or watching a movie required traveling on a barge or a ferry," Juma Stevens said of his native Virgin Islands.
He remembers his 9-year-old sister desperately wanting to learn to ride horses and donkeys.
"Money wasn't as generous at the time," the 20-year-old Juma Stevens said.
His sister took matters into her own hands. She worked at a donkey barn cleaning manure from stalls in exchange for private lessons.
The ambitious Raina Stevens now has bigger dreams.
She plans to attend Ohio State University this fall to study history and geography, with a minor in international studies. She has a passion for different cultures and religious views. Her dream is to travel abroad in an Asian country doing nonprofit work.
"I want to help fix ties between two cultures, a type of diplomacy," she said.
A trip to Cambodia her sophomore year opened Raina Stevens' eyes to the world.
She stayed in a hut on an elephant farm disconnected from technology. She talked to her family just twice during the trip.
In the meantime, she fell in love with the Asian people and culture.
"These people are so awesome," she said. "The history runs so far back. There are so many layers to it."
South Fort Myers High School Graduation
When: Sunday, May 20
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Germain Arena
Top two graduates: Anna Katharina Mia Eggleston and Ian Conner Mehl
The recent graduate credits her English and AP world history teacher John DeReu with pushing her to believe in herself. She said DeReu set the bar high.
"He was the first teacher that expected that from me," she said of passing the AP exam with a 5 — the highest mark.
"He made me want to prove that I can do this. He made me try harder," she said.
Raina Stevens got a 5 on the exam.
Ever since taking that class, she said she expects more of herself. She believes in herself.
"She's an incredibly and intrinsically motivated young woman," DeReu said. "She's internally motivated. You don't have to say anything to a kid like that."
DeReu said the graduate's future is limitless.
"She's not the best because she wanted to compete with anybody," he said. "She pushed herself because she wanted to be better."
DeReu anticipates she will get a law degree, run for elected office, or run a Fortune 500 company one day.
In her little down time, Raina Stevens likes to read. Her brother said she appreciates those rare, still moments.
Sunday won't be one of those moments for Raina. She'll be leading her class through graduation at Germain Arena in Estero. She will speak to her peers about discovery — of themselves and others.
"The word discovery is really something your whole high school years help you figure out," Raina said. "And then not stopping your discovery once you finish high school."

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Benn Greenspan, PhD, MPH/MHA(University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health)
Description: This is an intriguing insight into the strategic thinking of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and its grant-making programs. The book discusses key issues like learning from mistakes; the role of communication in successful strategy; and how strategic orientation of grant-making affects program success.
Purpose: The editors of this anthology have set out to honor the foundation's commitment to public accountability. This work is intended to assist others in the business of making grants (and also those who propose to achieve societal change through such programs) learn from the foundation's experience. This is an important effort that shares a substantial wealth of experience in an accessible, easy to read, and enthusiastic way. Where the book falls short of meeting its objectives is in structural inconsistencies that provide a level of interpretation in some sections but not in others.
Audience: While the book set out to serve foundation leaders and other practitioners in the human services fields, its open journalistic style makes it eminently accessible to students and other interested audiences at many levels. The benefits of this open style outweigh any appearance of lesser credibility created by the inclusion of many professional communicators in what is essentially an evaluative work.
Features: The four sections of the book cover critical topics related to learning from the foundation's efforts to achieve its goals. These include: the importance of openly examining mistakes; the role of communication strategy in executing foundation strategies and achieving foundation goals; how reducing substance abuse became a significant goal as the result of recognizing the role of individual lifestyle in improving health; and a brief look at two innovative programs aimed at improving communication to improve health and healthcare. The journalistic style of the book is at its best in the rapid sharing of the concepts, success, and failure of the many foundation initiatives. It also works well in helping readers understand the deliberation involved in strategic adaptation within the foundation.
Assessment: This is a welcome addition to the more formal literature about planning and strategy in the fields of human services and philanthropy. While setting out to provide transparency about the thinking and decision-making within the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the book includes discussions and examples that illuminate strategic thinking processes in general. Its journalistic style and discussions about how specific issues like leadership succession affect strategy will make it very useful in the graduate school classroom.

Fast-tracking case prosecution primarily a gov't duty
Following the cue of Sen. Joker Arroyo, who like me is a Diamond Jubilarian (Class '52) of the UP College of Law, I would like to offer, perhaps officiously, the following observations regarding the Maguindanao trial:
1) The prosecution of criminal cases, is the responsibility of the government, particularly the Department of Justice, which is vested with the corresponding authority. We follow the adversary system, and if the case does not progress enough, the prosecution may not, least of all, blame the defense or the court. It is time for it to assess how it may do better.
2) Nor should the burden of prosecuting the case be shifted to a private prosecutor. A government prosecutor must lead and direct the prosecution, perhaps upon the advice of and in consultation with the private prosecutor, but a government prosecutor must call the shots.
