NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — More than 90 gunnery sergeants in pressed khaki shirts and green pants marched up individually to receive their Marine Corps Staff NCO Academy, Advanced Course certificates. During the ceremony, a lone Air-man in blues stood up, walked to the front and received his certificate of training. Upon accepting, the master sergeant became one of only a few Airmen to ever complete the Marine leadership course.
On Dec. 14, the 53rd Wing's Master Sgt. Nathan Caldwell not only completed the Ma-rine's seven-week leadership course, but also earned distinguished graduate. The professional military education course, held at Camp Pendleton, Calif., is similar to the Air Force's Senior NCO Academy, but focuses on Marine-specific topics such as combat operations, close air support, professional briefings, physical training and joint doctrine in a deployed environment.
"It was a unique challenge stepping into unfamiliar territory where every day I en-countered something new to me," said Caldwell who completed the course with a 98 average.
"I chose the Marine Academy for the challenge and to gain a new perspective on a sister-service. When given the opportunity, it's important we, as Airmen, should step out of our comfort zones in order to grow as leaders. This was the perfect opportu-nity to do just that."
The master sergeant said he'd known about the program for a while, but had never given it much thought. His superintendent approached him about it and motivated him to submit a package. This was the first time Airmen looking to attend a sister-service course had to go through a nomination process. Caldwell's nomination was selected by Air Combat Command and eventually approved by (then) Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Roy.
Caldwell, a flight chief for the battle management division of the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron, here, described the initial experience as humbling. He compared the beginning to how he felt as a new Airman adapting to the Air Force way of life.
"I had to quickly adapt to Marine Corps customs, courtesies and traditions," said the 11-year veteran. "Some aspects of the course were easy to translate, while I was com-pletely lost on others and depended heavily on my platoon."
Caldwell being in the course at all said a lot about him, according to former Marine NCO Academy instructor, Sgt. Maj. (ret.) Scott Standfast.
"The fact the Air Force would trust the Marine Corps in his professional training and development as a leader is a compliment," said Standfast. "He would be treated the same as any other and his fellow students would go out of their way to help him in all aspects of the school."
Marines would also learn from him, according to Standfast.
"Having a member of a sister-service provides a unique perspective due to his ex-periences and career," Standfast said. "Those comparisons can be used as teaching points and all can gain knowledge from them."
Caldwell said there was an initial curiosity and questions on why he was there, or what motivated him to want to be there.
"After a week, those questions evolved to wanting to know what I thought about spe-cific aspects of the course and how it compared to the Air Force," said the 32-year-old Missouri native. "It's safe to say we were constantly evaluating each other for the dura-tion of the course."
Caldwell said he expected the PT sessions to be intense and the school did not dis-appoint.
"All of our PT sessions were different - no session was repeated," he said. "The in-tent (which reinforced the USMC fitness culture) was to give us a multitude of ideas to take back to our units and apply them. I realized quickly there were no quarter-mile tracks, just trails and hills. The Marine Corps fitness culture was evident from day one."
Meeting the Marine Corps physical fitness standards and completing the combat fit test were required for graduation. The CFT is a combat obstacle course with various timed events simulating circumstances found in real-world combat situations.
Caldwell scored a "first class" on the CFT, scoring a 285 out of a maximum 300 points.
After adjusting to so many differences at the beginning, Caldwell said that at the ser-vices' foundations, they were quite similar.
"We deal with many of the same issues and strive to develop the same leadership at-tributes in ourselves and in our Airmen," he said. "Although this was an academic environment, I left with an infinite respect the sacrifices those Marines have made, and will continue to make, for their country."
The 422nd TES is a geographically separated unit of the 53rd Wing, headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base.

Joe and Dorothy Holliday's year of the fascinators
Last updated at 20:12, Thursday, 05 April 2012
"In China, they had the year of the rabbit, but in Allerdale we celebrated Dorothy's fascinators," joked Allerdale mayor Joe Holliday.
Coun Holliday and his wife Dorothy have been fixtures on the civic circuit since he became mayor last year.
The pair have attended more than 130 official engagements, met four members of the royal family, visited 26 of the Allerdale council district's 31 wards, and Mrs Holliday has bought 19 fascinators.
She has become as well-known for her headgear as Coun Holliday is for his rugby league knowledge – he has more than 45,000 records of individual players – and she particularly liked the feathery teal blue number she wore on Tuesday when Prince Charles visited Wigton.
Planning to take the total to 20 before Joe steps down next month, she said: "I love my fascinators, and have enjoyed wearing every one of them.
"After Joe's year as mayor ends we are being invited to Buckingham Palace, so I will have to buy a special one for that.
"I will never wear them again. They were each special for the occasion they were worn."
But it's not just been about the special occasions and meetings with royalty for this pair.
So far they have raised £14,000 for West Cumbrian charities, and money continues to pour in for the man who never wanted to be mayor.
The charities to benefit will be the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Meningitis Trust, Stroke Association, Anaphylaxis Research and Youth Rugby League in Allerdale.
Coun Holliday said: "The amount of support we've had has been amazing.
"When I entered politics I had no ambitions to be mayor. It just wasn't a position I wanted.
"I always thought mayors just ponced around in a big gold chain, but I've found out the hard way that it's so much more than that.
"Seeing the faces of the people whose lives we have brought smiles to has been very touching.
"I am proud to have served Allerdale, and I hope the people feel the same about Dorothy and me."
The couple aren't winding down, though. They aim to visit the five wards they haven't been to in an official capacity, which includes Great Clifton.
Coun Holliday said: "Despite the fact that I'm chairman of governors at Derwent Vale School, Clifton is one of the wards I haven't officially visited.
"I have been many times, but never in my capacity as mayor. That will change by the time next month comes around."
Ellenborough, in Maryport, is also missing off the list as well as wards towards Silloth.
One of his last fund-raising events as the mayoral year comes to a close will be a social evening to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Workington Town's Wembley triumph.
Town beat Featherstone 18-10 in front of 72,000 fans and Coun Holliday has arranged for Bev Risman OBE, son of Workington great Gus who captained the team, to be the star attraction.
Mr Risman will be guest of honour at the event at Workington's Washington Central Hotel on Thursday, April 19.
Combining his love of rugby with his fund-raising talents, Coun Holliday said: "I have met some incredible people along the way and this is a thank you to everyone who has supported me.
"We have raised a lot of money for some great causes and I hope this will be a night people never forget.
"Footage of the game will be shown on screens around the room, and it will be great to hear what Bev, who enjoyed a distinguished career, has to say."
Tickets are £25. Call 01900 66319 for more information.

NY Times and WS Journal might think about selling all this blood their letting
Are you about to slit your wrists journalism students? A few hesitation cuts while you get the nerve up to pull it off? Well I've got exactly what you need to close the deal; The East Valley Tribune, after some 118 years of publication, is turning off the presses and calling it a day Dec. 31, 2009. Yes, a paper that has service Phoenix and the surrounding areas for more than a century could not survive despite cutting staff by 40% and scaling production back to only four days a week. The problem might have come from their parent company claiming bankruptcy recently, but one can't be sure.Read more "NY Times and WS Journal might think about selling all this blood their letting"

Brattleboro Retreat cuts 31 jobsBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | November 15,2012Kevin OConnor / Staff Photo
The Brattleboro Retreat was founded in 1834 as the first mental health facility in Vermont and one of the first 10 private psychiatric hospitals in the United States.BRATTLEBORO The Brattleboro Retreat, in the midst of contract talks with its 500 unionized employees, announced 31 layoffs on Wednesday, eliminating its art and music therapy department and two other programs.
Layoffs were blamed on the increased complex medical and psychiatric needs of its patients, according to Peter Albert, senior vice president of government relations. He said the activity therapy department, along with some chemical dependency counselors, werent the top priority of patients in crisis.
Albert said the cuts were not related to the ongoing contract talks, something that a union spokesman agreed with. Albert said he didnt know how much the cuts would save the facility, since he hoped some of the 31 people could move into open positions in other areas at the private psychiatric hospital.
John V. Callaci, an official with the United Nurses and Allied Professionals, said that if the financial problem behind the layoffs was based in the contract talks, the retreat would have used the layoffs as a potential threat as a bargaining chip in contract talks.
Instead, Callaci said, the retreat announced the layoffs Wednesday at the end of the previously scheduled negotiations. Both sides are due back at the table next week, he said. The union represents 500 of the retreats 700 employees.
Callaci instead blamed the layoffs on what he called gross mismanagement by the retreat. All of the services eliminated and reduced distinguished the Brattleboro Retreat and set it apart from virtually all other psychiatric facilities, he said.
They go from millions of dollars in surpluses, which theyve totally squandered, Callacci said. He added, mandatory overtime is through the roof, another sign of mismanagement.
The programs the retreat is eliminating are unique to the retreat, he said, and make it a center of excellence.
Retreat patients will no longer receive art therapy, activity therapy or music therapy, he said.
Albert said that the retreat made $1 million in profit in 2010, and $1.5 million in profit in 2011, and during the first six months of 2012 was projecting a similar surplus.
But what we found in the summer ... we were seeing patients with higher medical and psychiatric acuity, and we are bringing on staff to meet those needs, he said. The focus was changing.
He said the retreat got its latest financial report for October this past weekend, and it showed the financial tide had turned red.
The hospital was losing money, he said, and rather than continue to lose money, it assessed areas that could be cut.
While the services that were cut were really great to have, theyre not the primary reason to seek our service. We really had to do some soul-searching and focus on whats crucial, as hard as it is, Albert said. They certainly add something important, but the reason people come to a hospital at 2 a.m., is whos going to keep me safe and provide expert psychiatric care and do a good job of getting me back home.
Its been a very intense day and very difficult for people, Albert said.
Albert said that renovations funded by the state for the state hospital wing at the retreat were separate from the retreats financial problems. Likewise, money for roof repairs and other long-term maintenance came from a separate bank loan and cant be used for staffing, he said.
Callacci faulted the retreat for not laying off a single administrator in the cutbacks. He also said that the retreat was closing its school for its adolescent patients. That service will not be continued.
What you have is a booming patient census and a wholesale destruction of services, said Callaci.

A LAKE District boat is to join a thousand-strong fleet sailing in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee procession on the Thames this summer.
One of Windermere's well-worn wooden tourist vessels has been selected by Royal organisers to take part in the event – the largest flotilla in modern times.
More than two million people are expected to watch from the embankments of the Thames as the seven-mile procession steers through London waters.
Cumbria's own aptly-named participant, The Queen of the Lake, owned by Windermere Lake Cruises, is currently being repainted and refurbished for the spectacular, on Sunday, June 3.
The flotilla will be led by Her Majesty the Queen and other members of the Royal family aboard a barge called The Spirit of Chartwell.
It will sail under 14 bridges, alongside groups of narrow boats, historic vessels including World War Two ships from the Dunkirk beaches and replica Tudor ships.
Managing director of Windermere Lake Cruises Nigel Wilkinson said: "We are delighted Cumbria will be represented at such a high-profile, patriotic event which will inevitably strike a cord with the whole country as we celebrate her Majesty the Queen and her 60-year reign together.
"We hope to be able to involve the wider Cumbria community in this project and to give some younger Cumbrians a day out that they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Boat building manager Alex Williamson and operations manager Russell Bowden will lead the team south for the patriotic event.
Windermere skipper Ron Walker will captain the boat on the day itself.
The 15-metre tourist boat, built in 1949, will be hoisted out of the water at Ambleside and driven almost 300 miles by lorry before it is launched on the Thames.
It is a reversal of the ship's initial northern voyage, 60 years ago, when she was transported to Windermere from the Thames-side town of Molsey, where she was built.
It is not the first time the Queen of the Lake has been given a Royal mark of approval. In March 2010 it carried the Prince of Wales when he visited the Lake District.
David Gill, who runs the multi -award winning South Lakes Wild Animal Park, at Dalton-in-Furness, has accused Barrow Borough Council of 'stifling' entrepreneurial spirit in the Furness area.
He believes his project would – * create 45 new jobs * bring elephants and 'big cats' such as jaguars to the park for the first time * improve housing for existing animals * add a children's farm * revamp visitor facilities, including a large car park and a new steam train to take visitors around the park Mr Gill is frustrated that the council has not ruled on his planning application after a year – although it is minded to reject it.
Now he has asked the Government's planning inspectorate to intervene and make a decision.
The borough council's planning committee believes the project would be an over-development of a greenfield site and cause traffic problems for residents of Melton Terrace, off the A590, where the new entrance would be located.
And it says that part of the reason it has taken so long to resolve the matter is because some of the application details were not clear enough.
Mr Gill, 50, who set up the park 17 years ago, said: "I have lived here all my life and these councillors are the most backward-looking people you could come across.
"How a positive project, which would create jobs and bring more people to the area in such desperate economic times as these, could be refused beggars belief."
He added: "At the moment we have four different car parks and up to 4,000 people a day trying to cross a busy 60mph road to get to the park. With our new plans we could have them all on one piece of land."
And he warned that the zoo, which is one of Cumbria's top five visitor attractions, would stagnate if it did not grow.
"In this day and age, if you don't go forwards you are going backwards."
The zoo is already home to a variety of animals, including giraffes, rhinos, lions and lemurs and runs two animal conservation charities which aim to protect vulnerable species such as Sumatran tigers.
Mr Gill's plan has been backed by Cumbria Tourism managing director Ian Stephens, who said: ''The park provides one of many good reasons for visiting the Furness peninsula and has brought important benefits into the area in terms of employment, and tourist expenditure.
"The expansion plans are to be encouraged and have a close fit with the tourism strategy for Cumbria. We're sure that most people will be in favour of bringing increased employment and income to the area and as such we hope that the planning issues can be overcome".
John Millar, chairman of Dalton with Newton Parish Council, which opposed the plans, said councillors were not against expansion or creating jobs but were worried about access.
"We are concerned about traffic flow and the impact this could have on the surrounding rural area," he said Coun Ann Thomson, chairman of Barrow's planning committee told the Gazette: "We are not in the business of stifling entrepreneurialism – we wouldn't dream of doing that."
She said members had particular concerns that the car park would 'stand out like a sore thumb' on the hillside and it was still unclear how it would be masked by landscaping.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "Safety should never be compromised, but I hope these concerns can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
"The wildlife park is one of this area's big-pull attractions with lots of potential to expand and create more jobs in the years ahead."
The final decision will be made by secretary of state for local government and communities Eric Pickles following advice from the planning inspectorate.
A ruling is likely to be made next spring.
MORE than 10,000 people flocked to Crooklands at the weekend to celebrate quality local produce.
Country Fest — organised by Westmorland Agricultural Society — showcased the finest food and drink the area has to offer.
Independent food and drink producers and suppliers, who give the region its culinary reputation, tempted the senses at the County Showfield and gave visitors an insight into where their food comes from.
The family event also included a pets' corner, 'meet the farmer', sheep shearing demonstrations, music and dance, a 'grow your own' area, crafts, beer festival, trade stands and dog shows.
Sheep dog trials were a new addition this year and The Westmorland Gazette hosted a wedding fair.
Richard and Barbara Mathews, from Kendal, were impressed with the range of items on sale and stocked up on locally-produced pies.
"We have such a wide variety of food here," said Mr Mathews.
"We have got a lot of farmers who are extending what they do into other products and we like to support them."
Tommy Brady, also from Lancaster, said: "The amount of food that is available is amazing. There are umpteen different types of sausage and pies — you want to buy it all."
Christine Knipe, chief executive of Westmorland Agricultural Society, said: "The sunshine did bring people out on the Sunday and it was very busy.
"The feedback was positive."
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

I've updated the database table.
Crawford, I was indeed confused about the meaning of the 'Foswiki required' column in that I thought it related to a minimum requirement for user search. As you say we need to actually define what a FW user can expect to work.
BTW: I've found that the standard backlinks regex used in a regexp SQL clause e.g.
select * from metaText where value regexp 'DefaultPreferences([^A-Za-z0-9]|$)|Default([^A-Za-z0-9]*)Preferences([^A-Za-z0-9]|$)|System.DefaultPreferences([^A-Za-z0-9]|$)' \GTook 43s to complete, and because of MySQL caching data, subsequent calls are a rapid 0s. However, the 3 separate parts of the alternation are much quicker (< 1s each). So, why the significant time required? They are all table scans so it's shouldn't be an io bottleneck, which suggests that this regex via a POSIX ERE has some surprisingly poor performers. This will need more investigation, note that a simple search for '.' with original perl regex as a post filter is much faster.
MariaDB [foswiki]> select count(fobid) from metaText where value regexp 'Default|Preferences'\G -- AutoDocket([^A-Za-z0-9]|$)|Auto([^A-Za-z0-9]*)Docket([^A-Za-z0-9]|$)|System.AutoDocket([^A-Za-z0-9]|$)' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** count(fobid): 2551 1 row in set (9.13 sec) MariaDB [foswiki]> select count(fobid) from metaText where value regexp '.'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** count(fobid): 418800 1 row in set (0.53 sec) MariaDB [foswiki]> select count(fobid) from metaText where value regexp 'Default' or value regexp 'Preferences'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** count(fobid): 2551 1 row in set (0.76 sec)I suspect it's related to this: http://www.regular-expressions.info/posix.html see the
POSIX ERE Alternation Returns The Longest Match section.
Note that these timings are not the complete process with perl and DBI where all the data is transferred to perl for processing. I.e. reading 418800 string into perl for further filtering may still be the overall worst performer, but that's not how it feels.
Why is it rarely simple ?

text: This clot is between the brain and skull, no one disputes that . Dr David Deaton Chief of Vascular surgery at Georgetown University( he's not her Doctor) said that its possible her blood clot is a result of dehydration from a stomach virus and not from the fall. It was discovered on a followup visit as a result of her concussion. When the story first broke they ( DR"S making tv rounds & not on Fox ) thought it was the blood clot in her leg ( She has a history of blood clots in her legs.) Its serious, but Dr's say she will be allright. She had lots of time to tell her side of Bengazhi, she was traveling all around the world. I think this will be an excuse to put testifying off as long as she can, forever if possible. Its a shame for everyone involved, the truth needs to come out.

I was prescribed this drug many years ago and now I do not take it every day I'm sure some doctors would not be happy about that but remeron makes me just too darn sleepy I do take it once in awhile if my anxiety and insomnia get so bad that I can't sleep. I do not eat well at all and I am a little underweight so I do not have any problems with weight gain, but whenever I wake up it makes me hungry for cookies or sugary snacks. This drug works great if you have insomnia, but like other people have said on here it can mess with your eating habits so just try to keep eating healthy and try not to eat the whole bag of cookies at one time.
The first few days it will knock you out, very sedative. But as the weeks passes, the effect is very mild. I am on week 4 and it have helped with sleep and somewhat anxiety. I also take it with 5mg Ambien. Ambien works for the first 2 hrs, Remeron keeps me asleep and dreaming. Weird dreams but it works. And if I get up in the middle of the night, I wait a few minutes (maybe 30) and pass out again.
As with MANY others, I gained weight. A lot of weight. I didn't even REALIZE how much food I was eating. And again as with most of the other reviewers, I would fall fast asleep within 30 mins of taking it. Otherwise, it was Amazing. It was the best drug ever for treating my depression. Which is such a shame. I took the fast dissolving tablet, and it tasted great! I have good memories of Remeron, but it just wasn't the drug for me. It could be right for you though... Gladly I found my cure after 4 years of trying different drugs. The best way to find the right drug for you is to try as many different ones as you can, and a combo of two or more can be even more effective. I am proof of this, as I am a patient (in complete remission) of one of the leading psychiatrists in Canada who has spearheaded and published many studies on the effectiveness of treating depression with more than one medication at a time. Good luck to you :)
Had complex(central + obstructive)sleep apnea. After 4 months 15mg every night my snoring and sleep apnea is almost gone. No longer waking up at night gasping for breath, no more morning headaches, no more day time sleepiness. Brillian drug. No side effects that I've noticed. Unlike 10mg Prozac that made things much worse and with bad side effects, remeron seems a perfect drug for me. I no longer need a machine at night.
Mirtazapine (Remeron) is a potent antidepressant and often has the added effect of a sleep aid. My dose started at 7.5mg for a few days, then 15, then 30 sustained. For me the sleepiness was a real benefit as I have horrible insomnia and within 45 minutes of taking my prescription I was more than ready for bed and slept wonderfully for 8 to 9 hours, waking up REFRESHED for the first time in many years. As an antidepressant it worked very well. Within a few weeks I felt at peace inside. Unfortunately, it also caused tremendous weight gain of about 30lbs within 3 months which eventually made me decide to stop taking it. On the plus side, it was very easy to taper it down without much discomfort. Weight gain doesn't happen to everyone so please give it a try. Watch what you eat (I had powerful carb cravings) and exercise every day if you can to minimize the gain.
I started taking Remeron after trying many other meds for depression and anxiety. I take it in combination with Celexa and BuSpar. At first I hated it because it made me sooo sleepy but my health care provider assured me that when I reached a higher dose(45 mg) this would stop.I didn't believe it but she was right. I do require about 8 hours of sleep but there's nothing wrong with that. I did gain a lot of weight but it is coming off with diet and exercise. I don't know if the Remeron is really to blame as again, this side effect is known to diminish in the same way as the sleepiness.Watch your caffiene intake; if I have too much I will wake up with a jolt shortly after falling asleep. I have been on meds for 10 years and feel wonderful most of the time. Don't give up hope; it CAN get better!
No I am more suicidal now than before I started on it and at one point mydoctor told me that I could half the 30 mg. dose and it will work better than 30mg Is this true? I really would like to know this because I have done that for a week now and it doesn't seem to help at all it really don't make me anymore sleepy either so I don't know if it is me or what
Remeron is an EXCELLENT sleep aid. It works QUICKLY (5-10 min's). It is clean (no weird feelings). I was getting 1-3 hours of bad sleep before, and now I can count on 5+ hours (sometimes 6-8); but I NEVER over-sleep. Though I have heard others complain of grogginess or hangovers during the next day, that has not been my experience. I wake refreshed, and ready to work. Cons: the munchies. I put on a lot of weight since I started taking Remeron about 4 weeks ago. But adjusting the dosage seems to be working. My doctor said that, at least for Remeron, less is more. He said that as I upped the dosage, I would begin to experience the activating qualities of the anti-depressant, exacerbating the exact situation I was trying to cure. My doctor said Remeron works very well in low doses. I started on one-half of a 15 mg tablet (7.5 mg/night). Last night I tried splitting my half-tablet again into two halves, taking one (3.75 mg). I slept all night, and awoke without food on my mind.
Ok so I've been doing the SSRI/SNRI anti-depressant circle for god knows how long and all of them cause more problems than they're worth. So my doctor decides to try Remeron (Mirtazapine) for treatment in anxiety and depression. So as there is nothing left to try, I go ahead with the plan. Unfortunately this didn't work as well as both I and the doctor had hoped. It seemed to make my depression go into dark places. Increasing the dose didn't seem to change matters either, in fact it made me worse. So overall I'd say it might be useful for other people but it wasn't for me and despite it causing me to be more depressed the other side-effects were much more pleasant than the ones often with SSRIs. My libido was fine, I had no cognitive restriction like on SSRIs and I had more energy, but it was just my depression was just no good while on this medication and I had to come off.
I first tried remeron after attempting suicide in 1997. Tried Effoxor, Prozac, Nortriptylene, and some others before Remeron but the others did not work. Remeron worked great for me because at the time, I wasn't eating nor sleeping. I stayed up all night worried about stupid things, and although I felt hungry I did not want to eat. This stuff changed my life around. I ate plenty, gained weight, slept every night, and did well in school. After I got off Remeron, the effects stayed with me for a very long time. i hit another road of depression 5 years later in College. I had some Remeron on hand and within 3 months I was recovered and didn't need more. This drug is also cheap. With insurance, it cost only $8.00 at the time. This drug is not good for people that are overweight to begin with. You will gain weight, sleep a ton, and possible get depressed after looking in the mirror. I hope this info helpful

Euclid, Ohio, manufacturing engineer George Lesefky's last name may not legally be Yenko, but he's about as hardcore Yenko as any Yenko can get! We'll explain. George's grandmother Kate was Frank Yenko's sister. The oldest of two Yenko daughters born to nineteenth century Slovenian immigrants Katarina and Johann Jenko, Kate would marry one George Lesefky. The couple's only son, George Lesefky Jr. was Don Yenko's cousin, and the father of George Lesefky III. And yes, there's also a George Lesefky IV. Take that, George Foreman! Anyhow, George III owns this beautiful Code 932-A Saddle Tan '63 Corvette Sting Ray VIN # 30837S108115; and in a manner of speaking, it too is a Yenko; as the '63 split window was sold not once, but twice through Canonsburg, PA's Yenko Chevrolet. But we'll let second cousin George tell the rest of the story.
"To make a long story short, my father and I grew up loving Corvettes. When the '63 Corvette Sting Ray came out, my father George decided he had to have one. Like my second cousin Don, my father really loved fast cars, especially Corvettes. In 1963, my father ordered a black '63 Corvette convertible from Uncle Frank who was one of the biggest Corvette dealers on the east coast. Unfortunately, once my grandfather George found out that my dad was buying a Corvette, he said, 'Hell no, you have a wife and seven kids; how do you plan on fitting them all inside a Corvette?' That was the end of that. Actually, I think I was more broken hearted about it than my father was!"
Undaunted by the setback, second cousin Don Yenko did his level-headed best to keep the fire burning inside both father and son. In fact, Lesefky will never forget one particular Corvette incident. "We used to take my grandmother Kate to visit her brother Frank quite often in the summer time. Back in 1966, my dad ordered a brand-new '66 Chevrolet Impala SS from Uncle Frank. In fact, every car we ever had was bought from Yenko Chevrolet. Once a Yenko, always a Yenko! Anyhow, I remember it took quite awhile to get this car because of the special order teal exterior color and white interior color combination. Chevrolet kept kicking the order back, but that's the way dad wanted it. Finally, cousin Don flew up to Detroit and made the deal happen!"
"I remember it was almost like yesterday. Uncle Frank picked us up at the train station driving a brand-new blue-on-blue '66 390 HP, 427 Chevrolet Caprice four-door; so here it is Sunday, and the family is inspecting Uncle Frank and Aunt Martha's house which had just appeared in Home & Gardens magazine. Suddenly, cousin Don stands up and asks the family if they were ready to go down, pick up their new car, and take a tour of Yenko Chevrolet. That was one (of many) tours I'll never forget!"
"We pulled into the parking lot, and on one wall there must have been thirty brand-new big-block '67 Corvettes. They had just been delivered! Then we went inside. Cousin Don's showing us all around the showroom and garage, and then he says, 'c'mon around back, I've got a Corvette I want to show you that we're getting ready for Daytona!' And there sat the (just completed) Sunray DX '67 L88 Corvette coupe which was sitting up on jackstands."
EDITOR'S NOTE: This was the very same '67 L88 Corvette that Don Yenko and Dave Morgan finished 1st in the GT class and 10th overall at the Daytona 24-HR, as well as winning 1st at Sebring, and 10th overall. The following year, the same car set the class record with Dave Morgan & Jerry Grant driving at 190 mph, a record which stood for quite a few years.
Lesefky continued. "As near I can remember, that thing has 3 1/2-inch side pipes on it. I mean, that car was a monster! Then cousin Don says "You want to hear this thing run?" He didn't have to ask us twice. He whacked the throttle a couple of times and before you know it, he blew all the window panes out of the shop. In the process, he scared the heck out of my grandmother. I don't think she ever heard correctly after that!"
Grandma Kate may have suffered a temporary loss of hearing, but there's no mistaking that George II and George III heard the message loud and clear!
Lesefky continued. "A year later, (1968) we had an opportunity to buy another Corvette. It was a triple black '63 Corvette roadster. My dad met some guy that was selling a '63 Corvette that had been stolen and recovered. The guy had bought the car back from the insurance company, but he had such a bad taste in his mouth he just wanted to sell it! That was the first Corvette we owned," said George. "We thoroughly enjoyed that car. It was in the family up until 1998.

This is just a quick sketch, nothing jaw-droppingly awesome, but a little something to tide you guys over. I have a few other things that are 'done,' but not edited yet. I want to wait until I'm done one more piece before I upload the others.
To be honest, I don't really know what to think of the 'Mists of Pandaria' thingy...
So here's a purty Pandaren lady for ya.
I do hope, if Blizz is serious that is, that they pull all sorts of designs and concepts from many Asian cultures, not just China or Japan.
Haven't posted anything yet due to the overwhelming talent in here
But this is pretty good..
I think this is my favorite out of all the drawings I've done of my guy. Sadly anything else looks strange.. especially my rogue who usually looks deformed or far more stacked than she should be female figure = Difficult.

Jason: From Sonora, Mexico, it is ALEX KIDD!
BD: Alex Kidd is back! And he looks ready to get back down to business after last week.
PK: Kidd stuck his nose into Arthur Lansdales business, what did he do to deserve that?
BD: How about attacking an opponent once the match had ended, it was uncalled for and Kidd stood up for Dutchman.
*Kidd walks to the ring with a mic, ready for action.*
Kidd: Last week I came out here and help Dutchman, for two reasons. The man needed it, and I wanted to announce my aspirations for the Ignition title! Nothing is going to stop me from climbing that mountain and reigning as champion! But first, I know i have to earn that shot, and earn it I will. I will beat whomever the brass places in front of me until I get that title shot! I may have lost at the JBW/EWNCW Cross Promotion PPV, but I am still the best high-flyer EWNCW has ever seen and holding the Ignition title is going to prove that without a shadow of a doubt. I promise you all, I shall fly the highest and take tha title to new heights!
BD: I like his ideals, and the way he prizes the title!
PK: Me too, but I don't think he can take the title, honestly! The champ is one mean fighting machine, and it'll take some serious power to break through him and take what he earned!
BD: We'll see, Kingmaker, we'll see!
Jason: From Toyko, Japan; It's Mr. MAYHEM. MIKE HAWK!!!!!!!!
PK: What's this? Mike Hawk?
BD: Looks like it, two Ignition division stars are about to clash it seems.
Hawk: Look, Alex, I commend you for stepping up and helping the Flying Dutchman guy, but let's face it, you aren't the only one with Ignition title aspirations, my friend. I, too, am in the hunt for the title and it seems you are just going to be a stepping stone for me to get there. Understand? But don't take it too personally, it's all business over this way. Besides, I don't think you deserve the title shot over me, I haven't seen you doing much over the past couple weeks, maybe I've been falling asleep a bit and missing your matches and such, but hey, if that's the way the cookie crumbles man.
BD: Looks like we're going to have ourselves a good old fashioned match!
PK: I wonder who is going to come out on top!
Hawk(Yoshi) vs Alex(Kidd)
*As Hawk walks from ringside, Lansdale blindsides Kidd, attacking him brutally. Kicks and punches, whips into the steel guardrails, the works. A systematic dissection of Alex Kidd occurs before the very eyes of the EWNCW crowd. As Lansdale stands over Alex Kidd, he looks off into the crowd, then walks off*
BD: What the hell is going on here! Why is Lansdale out here attacking Alex Kidd after this match?
PK: Revenge i'm betting! Kidd is getting what he deserved after interupting one of Lansdales lessons last week!

As pointed out, there are some ways to have third party sites parse the xml to html for you - ie google - but here's a way I've found to parse a feed using xsl and javascript.
First off - to give credit where credit is due - this idea was manipulated from the original found at http://www.daymap.net/blog/?p=5
For an example and for all the source files - the testing folder is at:
The files used:
Basically the way it works is that the javascipt calls up the xsl file (xsl is a kind of stylesheet (like css is to html) for xml files - for more info on xsl check out http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/) and the xml into an object within the body of your existing page.
Create a xml file based upon news.xml (this is pretty bare bones - you'll probably want to add more elements - and don't forget to fill in the <guid> element) Tweak the xsl file if you want the feed to show up differently or if you want more/less elements displayed on the page. Finally change the url's in the test.js file to point to your specific xsl and xml files.
Now for the html page - insert the styles for any classes from your xsl file into the <head> of the page - you're going to also need to change the <body> tag to to <body>. Then insert the following into the maincontent area.
- Code: Select all
Of course with the source pointing to your local copy of the javascript file. Upload all the files to your server and test it out. It will display all items in your feed so this might not be the most practical option for very long feeds but works splendidly for shorter feeds.
Any questions - or if my instructions have any errors - simply post a reply and I'll try to answer/fix anything that is confusing/wrong.

For the overwhelming majority of people, gambling is harmless recreational fun. For most people, gambling (be it horse racing, playing the lottery, or at a casino) is a form of leisure and entertainment. They go to the races, or bet on sport events, knowing how much money they can afford to spend. They don't spend more time than they can afford to on gambling either.
Certainly, they do not neglect their families and dependents because of gambling, nor does gambling affect their work adversely. Neither do they get into serious financial difficulties because of gambling, and then hope that more gambling will solve their financial problems.
However, for a small number of people, gambling does become a problem in their lives. In particular, they suspect that it would be better if they stopped gambling, or at least cut down and controlled their gambling. For some of these people, gambling may become an addiction.
Not necessarily! Anyone can become a problem gambler regardless of age, race, religion, educational attainment, economic status and moral character. Problem gambling is like a disease which can affect anyone. Some people seem to develop problems with gambling, just as some people have a tendency to develop addictive problems with alcohol or other drugs.
In these cases they know that gambling is getting them into serious trouble and they try very hard to control it. Unfortunately, they find that, no matter how hard they try, they simply can't stop or cut down their gambling by themselves.
Some people, in order to overcome their difficulties, will need help from others who have a special understanding of gambling problems.
Africa's first National Responsible Gambling Programme has been devised to prevent the development of problems with gambling, and to provide help to those who nevertheless do develop such problems.
Sponsored by the gambling industry in Southern Africa, the programme is managed by independent experts from the National Centre for the Study of Gambling, which is based at the University of Cape Town. It has three components: public education and prevention; a treatment and counselling service for problem gamblers, their families and friends; and research, which ensures that the first two components operate with the most accurate scientific knowledge available both nationally and internationally.
Remember that it is illegal for children under 18 to participate in gambling. At a casino for example, be sure that you always know what your children are doing. A responsible parent will never leave children unattended. Most casinos offer crèches and other supervised childcare amenities. Use them, but don't leave your children for long periods just because there is someone looking after them. They are still your responsibility. Very importantly, do not ask your children to place bets on your behalf, or allow them to buy lottery tickets.

No! Problem gambling is like a disease: it is not your fault if you contract it, but it is your responsibility to do something sensible about it. What is shameful is to continue doing serious damage to yourself and your loved ones and doing nothing about it. Obviously, it's best if people can avoid the situation in which their gambling becomes uncontrollable.
To do this, people need to be aware of the danger signals which can give them an early warning. They may then be able to take appropriate action without seeking further help. One way of doing this is to approach a casino manager, for example, and ask that you be prevented from gambling.

Temporary Extension for Downgraded CDL Drivers
Oklahoma City- The Department of Public Safety announced today they will begin to implement a temporary extension for CDL holders who have been downgraded due to failure to timely submit an updated medical examiner certificate or complete a self-certification form. The temporary extension will allow applicants to have the downgrade of their CDL removed while giving them until December 31, 2014 to successfully complete all required examinations for their specific class of license.This temporary extension does not waive any applicable fees or any requirements necessary to be issued a new license or maintain a current CDL.
DPS Commissioner Michael C. Thompson stated that he "deeply appreciated the efforts by the personnel assigned to the CDL division who identified an alternative to allow effected CDL drivers more time to comply with the federal requirement."
Governor Mary Fallin thanked the department and Commissioner Michael Thompson for quickly addressing the situation.
"CDL holders are drivers who provide essential services to the state as well as to businesses," said Fallin. "I appreciate the efforts of Commissioner Thompson and his department to accommodate their needs and grant an extension while they work to submit their required paperwork."
Anyone affected by this may contact DPS Driver License Help Desk at (405) 425-2020 and will temporarily have their license upgraded to their previous CDL, (prior to the downgrade) once they provide a self-certification affidavit and/or medical card. If they self-certify as non-excepted interstate, they must also provide a current copy of their medical examiner's certificate.
The Process For Drivers To Follow
Persons that have had his or her CDL downgraded must call (405) 425-2020 or go to the Department of Public Safety's website at www.dps.state.ok.us/dls/ to obtain the Oklahoma Commercial Driver Licensee Medical Self-Citification Affidavit form and the Temporary CDL Medical Requirement Extension form. These forms must be completed in its entirety and returned to the Driver License Services Division via facsimile, (405) 419-2196 emailed to email@example.com ; or presented in person to a Driver License Examiner. A complete copy, front and back, of the required documents must accompany the form.
If the individual does not have access to the above website, or would prefer to telephone the Department, they should call (405) 425-2020. Please keep in mind there are several thousand individuals that have been affected by this downgrade; therefore, it may be difficult in reaching the Department by telephone.
All forms received by facsimile or email will be processed as they are received. The license holder will be notified by telephone or email immediately upon the completion of the upgrade. The Department's goal is to process each upgrade by the close of business of the next business day.

Veteran Logo Is Now Available On Driver License
The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety would like to remind Oklahoma veterans of the new "Veteran" logo that is available to be placed on the front of qualified veteran's Oklahoma driver license or state identification cards. "Oklahomans have a profound respect and admiration for the men and women who have bravely served our nation. The new veteran designation on state drivers' licenses is a small way in which we can honor their sacrifice and say "thank you" for their service to our state and our nation," Governor Mary Fallin
"We're pleased to announce that changes in the system, and card will allow Oklahoma veterans to identify themselves right on their license by choosing to have a special veteran's insignia added to the card," said DPS Commissioner and Secretary of Safety and Security, Mike Thompson, who also is a decorated Army soldier. "This option will be available after November 1, 2012 and was implemented as a manner in which to honor the men and women of Oklahoma who have served our country," Thompson said.
Retired General and Secretary of Military and Veteran Affairs, Rita Aragon, said that this will be of an advantage to military veterans who often do not have a Veterans Administration identification card because they do not have a disability. "Oklahoma veterans will now be able to present their Oklahoma driver license or state issued identification card that has the "Veteran" status on the front. Veterans can then present those cards to businesses that honor and provide discounts to military veterans," said Aragon. "This is a point of pride for veterans and Oklahoma's way of saying, "thank you for your service!" said Aragon.
Veterans who choose to have the "Veteran" status on their card will have to show proof of military service by providing their DD-214, 215, WWII discharge document, a US Department of Veterans Affairs photo ID card or an Oklahoma Army or Air National Guard NGB Form 22 when renewing or obtaining their identification card or driver license.

Heater core leaks are common in this model, more so if the wrong anti-freeze/coolant is used in the cooling system.
Problems for specific Volkswagen Jetta years:
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Repairpal verified 1995 Volkswagen Jetta problems
Difficult to Diagnose Electrical Issues Are Typically Due to Ground Issues
Electrical issues that are difficult to diagnose—and sometimes intermittent—are typically due to ground wiring issues. The most troublesome ground locations are under the battery or at the engine.
Coolant Leak From Oil Filter Housing O-ring
A coolant leak may develop after oil filter replacement. The coolant o-ring seal can be damaged if the oil filter housing turns when removing or installing the oil filter. The recommended procedure is to hold the filter housing when tightening or loosening the oil filter.
Ignition wires may break down and cause misfires
Ignition wire breakdown is common, resulting in misfires.
Coolant and Oil Leaks
The water pump and/or other cooling system may develop a coolant leak. Oil leaking from the valve cover gasket is also common.
Shifting/Drivability Issues Due to Throttle Body Failure
Throttle body failure is not uncommon and can lead to shifting issues with the automatic transmission and other drivability concerns.
Reverse Gear Failures and/or Noise From Manual Transmission
Reverse gear failures and noise in the manual transmission models are common.
Engine Overheating Due to Damaged Water Pump Impeller
A damaged water pump impeller may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us the repair should include replacement of the water pump, thermostat, and flushing the cooling system.
Power Window May Fail Due to Window Regulator
One or more power windows may fail. Our technicians tell us this is commonly due to a failed window regulator which will require replacement.
High Mileage Automatic Transmissions May Have Shifting Problems
Shifting issues due to internal problems in high mileage automatic transmissions can be difficult to resolve without transmission replacement.
Hard starting due to coolant temp or oxygen sensor faults
Poor drivability symptoms—including hard starting—can be caused by coolant temperature sensor and oxygen sensor faults.
Oxygen and coolant sensor failures are common
Oxygen sensor and coolant temperature sensor failures are common.

SHALIMAR — The concrete barricades finally have been removed from Eglin Parkway, much to the relief of motorists and business people.
For the first time in a year, barriers no longer separate one side of the road from the other and all lanes are open to traffic, said Ian Satter, district spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation.
The barricades were set up April 9, 2012, to protect construction crews while they replaced drainage pipes 8 feet below the pavement, Satter said.
All of them were removed by Saturday morning and regular traffic patterns had resumed by 10 a.m.
"Every day since then, business has been 100 percent better than it was," said Robert Elledge, who manages Waterworx Car Wash. "A lot of (the customers) are just saying they're glad they're gone."
Elledge said Waterworx has been doing double the business since the barriers were removed.
He wasn't the only one reporting an uptick in business.
Jorge Lopez, who opened Pepper's Mexican Grill & Cantina about a month before the construction started, said business has never been better.
"This Monday and Tuesday we were like busiest since we opened," Lopez said. "Before, I think people didn't want to deal with the traffic."
Jayson Evanchyk, a manager at Time Saver Oil and Lube, said he had no doubts that people bypassed his business because of the construction.
"When they had it all blocked, people couldn't access the front of my shop, so people just drove on down the road," Evanchyk said.
By Wednesday, business had improved so much that Evanchyk barely had a moment to spare.
"Right now I'm slammed," he said.
It's only a temporarily reprieve, however.
"We're still not done," Satter said. "We still have to do the paving."
Satter said the DOT anticipates asphalt work in Shalimar will begin late this month.
The job also includes resurfacing and other improvements along Eglin south to U.S. Highway 98. The $6.9 million project is scheduled to be completed in the fall.
