Gatewood assumed the duties as Commanding Officer, Coast Guard Cutter
VIGILANT (WMEC-617) in June 2015, after having served a 12-month deployment
as Deputy Commander, Patrol Forces Southwest Asia in Bahrain supporting
Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and INHERENT RESOLVE, U.S. Naval Forces Central
Command/U.S. Fifth Fleet, and regional partners throughout the Middle East.
During this tour he oversaw the daily management of over 250 forward
deployed Coast Guardsmen, including six patrol boats, Advanced Interdiction
Teams, and the Afghanistan and Kuwait-based Redeployment Assistance and
Inspection Detachment.
Commander Gatewood is a 27 year veteran of the United States Coast Guard. He enlisted in St. Charles, Missouri in 1988. Subsequent enlisted assignments included: Second Coast Guard District in St. Louis, Missouri and Integrated Support Command Kodiak, Alaska. In 1996 he was selected to attend Officer Candidate School at Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown, Virginia.
Following graduation and commissioning, he served as a Deck Watch Officer aboard Coast Guard Cutter FIREBUSH (WLB-393) Kodiak, Alaska, and was assigned as the Operations Officer a year later. In 1998, he was assigned as the Officer-In-Charge of Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) 201 for Tactical Law enforcement Team North in Portsmouth, Virginia. During this tour he completed nine counter-drug deployments aboard United States and Foreign Naval warships throughout the Caribbean Sea, and Maritime Interdiction Operations in the Persian Gulf in direct support of United Nations Security Council sanctions against the Republic of Iraq. He returned to Kodiak, Alaska in June of 2000, where he served as the Operations Officer and Navigator aboard Coast Guard Cutter STORIS (WMEC-38) logging over 30,000 miles from the Arctic Circle to the waters off California. In July of 2002, Commander Gatewood assumed command of Coast Guard Cutter MONHEGAN (WPB-1305) in Key West, Florida where the crew successfully interdicted and processed over 342 Cuban migrants, 42 migrant smugglers, and 2,162 lbs of marijuana on 21 go-fast vessels. In July 2004, he reported to the United States Coast Guard Academy as a Nautical Science Instructor where he personally taught over 500 cadets. In June of 2007, Commander Gatewood assumed command of Coast Guard Cutter CYPRESS (WLB-210) based in Mobile, Alabama. Navigating through hazardous debris fields and working tirelessly under challenging conditions during Hurricanes Dean, Gustav, and Ike recovery operations, CYPRESS safely repaired or replaced several hundred buoys in just days to quickly restore access routes to economically vital Ports throughout the Gulf Coast. In 2010, he served as the Operational Planning & Readiness Chief for the First Coast Guard District in Boston, Massachusetts where he effectively apportioned over 1,780 major cutter days, 145,000 First District cutter hours, 7,700 aircraft hours, and 72,000 boat hours in support of the Northeast's diverse and complex mission set.
Commander Gatewood is a permanent cutterman, and has been awarded four Coast Guard Meritorious Service Medals with operational distinguishing device, four Coast Guard Commendation Medals with operational distinguishing device, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, two Coast Guard Achievement Medals with operational distinguishing device, the Navy/Marine Corp Achievement Medal, and two Commandant's Letter of Commendations.

Article: Protective effect of homonojirimycin from Commelina communis (dayflower) on influenza virus infection in mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effects of homonojirimycin (HNJ), one of alkaloids from Commelina communis L., on protection against influenza virus infection in mice were investigated. HNJ was found to improve the survival rate, prolong the mean survival time and reduce virus yields in lungs on days 4 and 6 post-infection (p.i.), after the agent had been orally administered to the mice from 2 days before infection to 6 days p.i. Administration of HNJ (1mg/kg) significantly increased interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-10 levels but decreased tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6 levels in serum and lungs of influenza-infected mice on days 2, 4 or 6 p.i. These results showed that HNJ exerted protection against influenza virus infection and produced effective immune responses in vivo.
Article: Effect of total alkaloids from Commelina communis L. on lung damage by influenza virus infection[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Whether administration of total alkaloids from Commelina communis L. (TAC) reduces lung damage in influenza virus-infected mice was investigated. Compared with untreated mice, significantly less severe damage was found in the lungs of mice administered TAC at 8 mg/kg per day for 6 days. TAC significantly decreased viral loads in the lungs. The concentrations of IFN-γ in the serum of TAC-treated mice were significantly lower than those of virus control mice at 4 and 6 days post-infection. The results indicate that TAC imparted partial protection to the mice by reducing pulmonary viral loads and limiting lesions in the lungs.

ABSTRACT: The antiviral activity of total alkaloids from Commelina communis L. (TAC) against influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) was investigated in vitro and in vivo. TAC exhibited an inhibitory action on the growth of influenza virus in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells when added before or after viral infection. In mice infected with influenza virus, orally administered TAC at 8, 16 or 32 mg/kg per day for 6 days significantly increased the survival rate, prolonged the mean survival time and reduced the viral titers in the lung and the lung index, compared with that of the untreated virus control. The results obtained suggest that TAC has a pronounced protective effect against infection by influenza A virus.

Religiously motivated violence has steadily haunted Pakistan over the last 10 years, with the rise of militants and extremists who believe it's their holy duty to wage war on non-Muslims. The latest horrific episode: The Lahore church suicide bombing on March 15 which killed 16 Christians; two Muslim bystanders were also lynched and burned to death by an angry mob in the aftermath of the bombing.
As the author of the novel "A Season For Martyrs", which examines the fusion of Sufi tradition with the power structures of Sindh, I have watched with caution as western think-tanks have thrown up Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam with an emphasis on tolerance, peace, and love, as a means of combating this ideology of violence. Yet, I strongly believe that this is a misguided policy; using Sufism to counter religious terrorism is not the solution to Pakistan's problems.
Since 9/11, Pakistan has witnessed the weakening of state institutions, the confusion of political leadership, the uncertainty of whether or not to continue to nurture or disown the state's "strategic assets", that is, religious militants it has sponsored – and the relentless attacks by the Taliban and other militants against civilian, military, police, and minority targets.
Secularism as solution?
Many Pakistani liberals posit secularism as the solution: They theorise, or fantasise, that going back in time to erase the dictator General Zia-ul Haq's Deobandi imprint on Pakistani society – in other words, to eliminate his Islamisation project from both the statute books and the annals of history – will ease Pakistan's pain and bring this divided country back together again.
On the other hand, western think-tanks, ever concerned with the rise of militancy in Pakistan and its ramifications for western interests, decided that Sufism could be a means of countering hardline radicalism in the Muslim world.
A 2007 RAND report urged western governments to "harness" Sufism; similar reports emerged from the Heritage Foundation, the Libforall Foundation and the Nixon Center, supporting the idea that Sufism, with its "politically moderating" effect, could supplant Salafism, whose local expression in Pakistan is the Deobandi movement.
Muslim and other scholars hit back at this plan, calling it misguided. The peaceful Sufi/violent Salafi dichotomy, they argued, did not stand up to scrutiny; Sufism could be used as much to advocate violence as Salafism.
In Pakistan, even Barelvis, a moderate sect influenced by Sufism and opposed to Deobandism, have enacted or supported violence. The murder of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer was committed by Mumtaz Qadri, a Barelvi, in 2011; Barelvi clerics have rallied for his cause ever since.
Still, this didn't stop the Pakistani government from trying out the formula: It formed a Sufi Advisory Council in 2009 to try and spiritually convince radicals to lay down their arms.
Since then, shrines and Sufi leaders have continued to be attacked all over Pakistan: the Baba Farid shrine and Sakhi Sarwar shrine in Punjab, Lahore's most famous Data Darbar shrine, the shrine of Sheikh Taqi Baba in Balochistan; and the assassination of the Sufi leader Faqir Jamshed in Dera Ismail Khan, in northwest Pakistan.
Complete reversal
The work of Farzana Shaikh, a Chatham House fellow and author of "Making Sense of Pakistan", represents a complete reversal from the discourse taking place about Pakistan's problems with extremism among its liberal intelligentsia: That religious extremism has come about because of the religious right wing's stubborn certainty that being a Pakistani equates to being a conservative Sunni Muslim, and that violence is a way of eliminating from the fabric of Pakistani society those people who don't fit that definition.
Continue reading Using Sufism to counter religious terrorism is not the solution to Pakistan's problems – and it's risky.

Wow. It looks like we haven't had associate bonus news to report in almost a week. Our last Associate Bonus Watch post was last Tuesday's WilmerHale announcement. (We don't count last Wednesday's bonus post, since it dealt with bonuses for support staff.)
So does this mean it's all over? Has bonus season, which started early thanks to Cravath, ended early as well? If a firm hasn't announced by now, are its associates S.O.L.?
(And no, that doesn't stand for "statute of limitations"; it stands for this.)
If you have unreported associate bonus news to share, you know how to reach us. Thanks.

I Was Raped By My Father
He started molesting me at 2 or 3 years old .He slowly groomed me and trained me by terrorizing me into thinking he would kill my mother and brothers .If I didn't let him he beat all of us black an blue .At the age of 5 I told my older brother who was 11 what was going on but he told mom and I was whipped with a belt .Then my brother took a turn why not mom lets dad so he can to . when my parents seperated mom took my baby sister who was 3 I stayed with him because I knew I was going to be 18 soon and I thought I was protecting my sister and mom . I was told if I leave with her he'd kill us all but according to my family it was untrue they will do anything to cover their own ***** .Needless to say I don't have anything to do with my family .They have to live with the guilt and I am fine I have a great sex life and I trust my husband especially since he has stood by me for many years and never gets scared when I start talking about cutting child molesters balls off .By the way i gave up the child for adoption to a beautiful family she is mentally retarded and I sent my father to prison, in time I found out he was seriously mentally ill almost insane there was no excuse for my mom except she was a coward and chose to use a small child to protect her . I got away one night by bashing his head with a bat damn near killed him but I caught him passed out and took advantage of the situation I was 17 . I have no problem accepting my past I did it for my sister .I would love to see women who are married to these sobs get charged for letting their children be hurt there is no excuse you can get help now it's not like it was in the 70s .
I have a cousin who finially made her First Holy Communion when she was 15.She was in the class with the 7 year olds and had to wear the full required 1st communion outfit just like the little girls had to wear-a white,poofy,top of the knees dress and veil,lace anklets and white patent leather shoes and under her dress she had to wear a cloth diaper and plastic pants with a tee shirt.After her party,her uncle took her to his house to show her some kittens that his cat had a couple months earlier and he told her how cute she looked,then started kissing her,then forcibly unzipped her communion dress and pulled it off of her,then forced her to her knees and brutally mouth raped her for over an hour,while she was just in her veil,tee shirt and the diaper and plastic pants.He came in her mouth several times during the hour and forced her to swallow his ***.After hes was done with her he took her back home and dropped her off and took off and went to a wooded area and committed suicide.
I am so very sorry this had to happen to you dear. Please seek out counseling you don't have to be a prisoner of that mess your whole life. The key is pick a therapist you click with dear. Don't be afraid to change if you have to. It is not expected you would be comfortable with everyone. But if you don't have one you can work with it will not help
I understand having to stand against your own family. I hope one day you are able to understand that maybe your family didn't know what to do. I didn't even tell my mother (They were already divorced) and when her second husband started molesting me, I didn't tell her then either.
No matter what, if a mother know her child is being abused by anyone, let alone her husband and THEIR father, she reports it to the police and removes the child from that situation. There is no excuse of "didn't know what to do," that's called being an adult who is so cowardly they would allow a little kid to harmed in the worst way possible rather than protect them, which as a parent is your number one responsibility. Again, there is no excuse, I don't care who you are or what your situation is.
ths really brave of u to stand up for ur dad, srry to hear u had to go through such times.
And To All You Who Say Its A Lie No Its Not A Dad Can Do That ****. I Never Did Anything For My Dad To Molest Me. He Tried Having Sex Me With Me But He Got Mad Cause I Would Tell Him No. And move Around My Mom Was Always At Work. I Was 5 During Summer. Im 15 Now And He Still Tries When I Had My Period He Asked Me If I Was And I disnt Respond. My Parents Are In Progress Of Divorce But He Still Comes To See My sister. I Dont Talk To Him Or Want Nothing To Do With Him. I Hate Him.
My Dads Been Molesting Me Since I Was 5
I am 13 and being raped
suffering in silence makes u no better thn the offender
This is what Im going through. It started for me really young. But I thought I was crazy and making it up. The more I get older, the more I understand and I wish I didnt. I aborted my brothers baby. Im glad that you are ok
Finally someone with a rape story that sounds true. Its a shame you didn't kill, but congrats on making it out. By the way, in a recent case, a mother that let her boyfriend rape her child got life in prison, the boyfriend got 49 years. Its probably the only good thing about the USA, its not a country run by pedophiles and rapists, unlike Canada for example.
that was not nice
i am the same way, my step father molested and raped me and my mother knew. i put him away. know that you are strong, people like us had no support, we had to live in situations that were beyond our control and we survived. know that you are strong, and yes id like to cut off more than just their balls.
I don't know what to do.. My step father molested me from the time I was 7. Then this last year, he started raping me.... I have a younger brother and my mother. My mother knows about everything but the rape, yet she has never told anyone. She tells me that I will cause our family to be tor apart if I tell anyone... I'm tired of being hurt... I tried commiting suicide this last month but I failed.. Just like everything else, I failed... Please help me, someone....
she is lying, thats the same lie they told me, take your best friend go to the police and tell them everything, tell them about him your attempted suicide tell them about your mother do it right after he's raped you so they can prove it. if they have a rape kit they can put him away for good and you can live a better life
Please tell it to someone who can help you, he has to be punished for what he is doing to you.
I was sold and raped.

At the age of 15 I was walking down my street when a van pulled up and two men came out and dragged me in to the van. My ankles, arms had been tied they put something over my mouth so that I couldn't talk and drove me to some place. I was pulled out of the van and into this house. It was dark and smelled horrible, there were cobwebs everywhere it looked like a really dirty place.. They took me in a room and looked me in there for days with a chamber pot under the bed to use if I needed to, and just coming up to give me food. I thought they were going to kill me. After what seemed like years they took meh out, from what I could see when I looked out the window, it was night. I was put back in the van and taken to a ship where they then took me to Paris. I was sold there and was raped by a number of men. It hurt like hell I just wished I could die. I escaped after a year with a guy that fell in love with me. I am still with him now he has supported me alot and helped me I will always be grateful to him. I will never be able to forget what happened to me, Evan after 7 years I still get flashbacks.
i get flashbacks to and still fill its my falt but i no its not my falt im geting help with coserling now
wowo ur really strong and am happy that u dont have to deal with that pain

I was by raped my stepfather at the age of 12 or 13 .When I told my mom she told me that I was a f***ing lier and to lock myself in my room .His son also had his way with me when I was young. The rape started back when I was about 6 or 7 from smeone I i grow up with and never thought it would happen . Then when I was put in a forster home they had another girl staying with them who made me put my whole arm inside of her . That was frighting back then , I'm now 39 and sometimes I sill think about what happened . When I started to date other men at frist I would be scared to let them into my life , but now i'm fine and living a better life . I have a wonderful son who makes me live for who I am now.
yeah i was raped by my father so many times that I lost count. they say to put him in jail. the statute of limitations is up. it happened from the time I was five until i was 16. wow. now i'm 25 whoo hoo. 9 years without being raped by him. but i still have no life. i hide away. for some reason i'm convinced that everyone can see it. he's in a local band. i feel like i can't make a name for myself without people likening me to him. i say freely what happened. but alas i could not get any support from my mother or from my sister when I wanted to hold him legally accountable. on my 23rd birthday i cried and i cried and i cried; that was the year that the statute of limitations ran out. my mother had caught him molesting my sister red handed. she did nothing. NOTHING. she still treats my sister poorly to this day. i was the good child. i believe that my mother groomed me for the abuse as much as my father did... i'm waiting for them to die so that i can enjoy life. my mother's house is where i live now. you can't tell her anything. she knows everything. it's sick. she's trying to take custody of my nephews. she's so sick. the Department of Children and Families is on her side... She has destroyed my sister and yet may have control over my sister's children... with the blessing of the state of florida. i've no money to go anywhere else. i guess i should start stripping. *********** is good money.everythin else her esucks. this is a man's state. i feel like i cannot win. i hate it. i wish i could just get money to run away and change my name. become a new person.... Hecate make me Aikos.
Yes, I was repeatedly raped/molested by an uncle and two of his buddies over the course of 3 years, Their idea of fun was to bound and gag me and then "turn me into a woman", using anything at their disposal. One of them started grooming me, training me to do certain things, certain ways, I'm still messed up some by what happened to me. I was also raped by a boyfriend and a friend later on in life. I do pretty good now, but I tell people you don't jump me when you're feeling froggy...I will snap your sh*! off...because let me tell you, I'm not scared of anything but failure these days. Thanks for your story, guess I needed to vent huh, hope things go well hon for you. I have great life now. God bless
Thank you.

I'm getting out soon, and taking my little sister with me. I made sure she was safe and he didn't get her for six years, and now I'm 18, and I'm getting out, telling the cops, and adopting my little sister.

I have old panties from when he hurt me in ziplock bags, I have dates, I have evidence. I will but this monster in jail. I'd love to put my drunk mother with him, but either way I won't see her sorry, drunk *** ever again.

I've worked since I was 14, and minus the money for baby sitters for my sister (He was NEVER alone with her. EVER), and what I'm going to have to spend on lawyers, I hope to have enough to get us a nice apartment, and some furniture and stuff.

We're going to be happy.
For all those of you who are still suffering abuse i just want to let you know that you CAN tell someone; you're NOT in the wrong.

If you can run away, go to a shelter, tell an adult you trust do it. There ARE people out there who DO care and you deserve that safety! look for counciling or legal help if you can, if not tell a close friend, avoid drugs and sex; at least until you are safe and emotionally stable because these just lead to more trouble and leave you open to exploitation.

Please please don't give up, things get better. first the fear vainishes when you're no longer around that person, then you have other experiences and realise that there is so much more to the world; then you grow and mature and discover (often through trial and error) what you want out of life.

life has its hilarious and beautiful moments too - and its excing ones. please DON'T give up - as the dalai lama says 'no pain lasts forever'. rape survivors have done nothing wrong - you are just that 'survivors'!

okay... that may come with a little bit harder an edge than most people, but surviors are also insightful and strong.

peace, blessings and courage. hang in there!

xxoxoxo

p.s. i know i just posted a request for help myself and hardly seem the person to be giving advise but i just read some extra stories and felt obliged to comment. mine is more a long term repair. i am commenting on those who are in a current situation.
I am pretty sure I was molested by my father or another close male relative when I was an infant or small child. I always felt guilty, unloved and like a burden on my family, never had a healthy sex life growing (meaning it was non existant) until twenty. Then I moved to another country and started a new life but I continually jumped from relationship to relationship and kept my friends at an arms length because I couldn't trust anyone. My sister also did the same thing; moved to another country and I think its more than a coincidence that we both left.

When I was in primary school i got bullied and my mother use to blame me for not fitting in. so i felt like bullying was a normal way for people to relate to me and i had to just put up with it. When i was in my final year of high school I ran away from home several times and seeing my father use to make me feel uneasy - for this reason i use to slam my dinner down each evening as sitting at the table was so uncomfortable. when i was living away from home i got an emotional recall one night and it was sheer terror and repulsion around my father; i never probed this as my mother didn't seem to want to talk about it when i went home and told her and i saw a counciler but couldn't talk about it as my mother stood outside the door listening so i never felt comfortable.

I felt guilty for years after telling her - thinking i was a home wrecker until my sister told me that she had similar memories. My parents still refuse to talk about it and i repress it so much that i have extreme anxiety, paranoia and lack of trust. It ruins my friendships, it ruins my relationships, it ruins how i feel about myself sexually and spiritually. I have, until now, channeled it all into artistic projects - performing, drawing and writing - all of which i know i have a lot of talent in (i know modesty is a virtue but my ego makes up for my insecurities so art came to replace love for me; it sounds wanky but i swear its true)- but lately i have started to believe that that is not healthy. because it wont bring me peace of mind; all that will bring me peace of mind is being able to trust and love another human being.

Nothing beats the intimacy of a close physical relationship and until now i have not been able to have one. i only seem to fall head over heals for smart, charming men that have absolutely no interest in me, or i hook up with men who treat me like shite but are areattracted to me, where they **** me but treat me sadistically - ie. i have no power or respect. I want to be with someone who i respect, who respects me and both be attracted to one another. does this ever happen?

I know this is a rant but i am single, young, alone, in a foreign country and have no where else to turn. Can someone recommend what I should do? My sister distinctly remembers an abuse incident so i know i am not crazy,

You people are heros i myself have never beeen raped but my mom was raped by her dad and she is a strong women now

You need to understand that some people were young. Some people didn't know. Some can't fight back. Before you comment on something, see it from other people's view. Think about how many people you will upset. I don't know what these people went through, and chances are you don't either. What you said was rude, and on this website, people are supposed to understand. You shouldn't judge. This is why some people don't speak up.
you people are ****** gay *** people
you people are ****** gay *** people
I pray for all you survivors. These child abusers are demonic. They are being controlled by demons. This is the reason they hurt innocent children. You must be brave enough to do something so this evil will end. Be brave enought to talk with a school couselor, teacher, or you may just call 911. Tell the operator what has been going on and when it all started. Please don't be ashame or afraid because you are not alone. You have to do something to put an end to this torture and abuse. I wil pray for you all each and every day. These demons who hurt you will one day have to face Jesus on judgement day. These deomonice people will all be burnt up one day. But for now you have to do something to stop the abuser from hurting you. May God give you strenght and courage to do what you have to do. Be strong and brave no matter what.
GREAT STORY BUT HE is such a ****
Hello to you all brave souls:

I was wondering if any of you out there who was raped as a child would be willing to help me. I am conducting a study about the physical effects of childhood rape.

I was myself raped when I was three years old by my father.

What I need to know is if you suffer from any of the following symptoms:

muscle tightness

hereditary spastic paraplegia

fybromyalgia symptoms

spasticity

short muscles (shoulders, fingers, feet, toes and middle front stomach muscles and side muscles)

pain or numbnes in muscles

tight stomach

painful periods (if female)

Multiple sclerosis symptoms

chemical sentitivity

digestive problems

insomnia

tight legs

tight buttocks

large and hard thighs

calf pain

ankle pain

problems walking

(other _________ fill your own)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Blessings to all~
Thank you all. This story belongs to me. Salam to all, i am Muslims boy born in Syed (Sunni) family. when i was a child Allah has gifted me a hegemon powers where all the others Muslims old age trying to get, I have the ability to do anything, but this thing hatred by especially by my father, mother and my elder brother. I was the one in my whole family means my mother's family and my father's family, who gifted to me such a powers by Allah. When I was in the age of 10 my father and his friends rape me when I was deep sleep, than after two days my father **** me with my elder brother and my mother raped me. I don't forget that painfull sceane that i suffered. I lost my feelings and my thinking, sometimes i much scared of these things, sometimes i don't sleep two to three days because of scareness, still my father **** me and raped badly, i don't know where i go, to sucide or kill my self, i cannot do anything because they are power full.

Now i am 23 years old, but still i have been raping by my father and i don't know where it ends.... i just pray to Allah, " Ya Allah, Please take away me from this hell". I have one of the biggest bad luck, I have short memmory and no feelings and my father forced me do work hard and many many thing to giving me more tensions. Some day i will kill my self If Allah don't stop it.

regards..

Thank you for posting this...I've also went through "hell" as a child. I have yet to set up a date to confront the "foster mother"...i believe she knew...and boy, i have a lot to say to her, i may slap her face like she did me when I was only 7 years old!!...she and him ruined my life!!!!!!!! He's now in prison. I told child services when i was about 15 and was put in a mental hospital because i was trying to kill myself. I realize what he did to me (horrific!) and said something. The authorities finally picked him up when I turned 18...locked up! While the foster mother wanted me to pay the house note, because she couldn't. Since he wasn't around, we would lose our house. And since I couldn't pay, she kicked me out and blamed me for him being in there....I'm now 25 and ******* sitting here and looking back, having to deal with all this bull **** and problems in my life...and where does all of this anger and bitterness come from??? Those child abusers!!! I wish they were never in my life! I mean, if you saw how I looked, like child model, and them...literally like monsters...i mean, how can someone do that to a child! I'm ******* pissed!!!!
Amen!

i look at things like this as a testimony. . i know im late.

but you went through that to teach people/young people.

you are blessed because you came out fine, most people cant go thourgh it.

i am so young but understand what goes on in the world. you taught me a lot from this story.

you are blessed
Kas123, I don't know if it'll help, but I have a hidden camera you could borrow if you want. You'd need a neighbor who you trust, who has a VCR recorder. And you'd need a place to put the camera in your room (I'm going to hide it in a stand-up picture fr<x>ame). I can't promise it'll catch him, but it's better than nothing. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested; put "Camera" as the email subject. If you're too scared to send me your address, you could email me or post a friend's address here, and I will send it to them.
kas123, you've got to tell someone. You've got to tell a teacher at your school, or the school nurse, or if your school has a councilor, a school psychiatrist. You can go into any hospital or doctor's office even without insurance and just tell the recpetionist or if not that, the doctor what is up. There are planned parenthoods which are FREE and they will protect you. You can contact child protective services.
You are a hero.
I'm scared I don't know what to do i'm all alone my mom doesn't believe me i'm 13 and my dad rapes me the last time he did rape me was December 10 and im scared can someone please help me I cant stand to be here any more i cant stand looking at him, im scared....help me..
omg u have to tell someone it could get worse tell a neaghbour or anyone god even i fell scared now
hi Kas,
I only came to read your message by this time... I hope it all stopped by now...
omy, what a survivor you are. I think all those kind of creeps need their ***** chopped off. There is NO EXCUSE for that. Glad you put him in jail!
I can't agree with you more!! My father and brother both sexually abused me from the time of 3 to 18 when i finally left. I left my family the first time for 5 years until my father finally confessed and than due to more **** left recently for GOOD. My father is dying and i know when he finally passes i will have so MANY mixed emotions that i am almost anticipating a nervous breakdown. Even though my father completely confessed my mother still REFUSES to believe it happened. I'm not sure who i hate more!! My father will soon have to account for his sins, and most likely will burn in hell. It totally ****** me off when phedophiles, when rarely convicted, often spend less time in jail, than someone who passes of fraudulent checks!! It is amazing to me that our mother's passively allow this **** to occur. I am amzed that you got him behind bars, that is BEYOND brave of you, i never had the guts to press charges. Congratulations on your strength, you are a real inspiration to me!!

I dont know if I will deal with my bank. My purchase was only 10 bucks, so its not gonna kill me. But sometimes there is a point in the matter :) Especially when people "steal" your money you worked for!
Now if i was a person who got burnt on an lcd or bigger purchase... ohhh i would be hot :)
He stole me more then 10 bucks :-( shame I'm in Europe ... to long distance to sue him or meet him in person. And who know how many other pplz. around world is waiting for their money or ordered items ... Even when i never see my money again his business should be closed, i don't believe that his actions are legal in USA and he can run his business like that.
Well, after many emails and PM's I finally got a response from Armen and got my money back.
Hopefully you guys who have more money out can recover it.
Good luck.
His username should be banned on this forum as it is clear that he is a criminal.
My bank finally got around to refunding my money. Took a bit of loud speaking at the branch, they just wanted me to shut up before the other customers heard how the chargeback process is a royal PITA.
I can't find digitalww on this forum? Has he been banned?
He hasn't been banned
but he hasn't been on since June.

October 12, 2008
Tory Jackson and Kyle McAlarney each started all 33 games in the Irish backcourt last season. They form a dynamic tandem that can hold its own with any in the Big East.
Notre Dame's Kyle McAlarney led the Big East in 3-pointers and was second in 3-point percentage.
McAlarney's game is the perfect complement to Jackson. He's a catch-and-shoot guy who can dial it up from anywhere past midcourt and be a serious threat. He led the Big East in 3-pointers made and was second in the conference in 3-point percentage (a sizzling 44.1 percent). Some players will be affected by the 3-point line moving back a foot, but McAlarney will not be one of them. He ranks among the top 10 returning scorers in the Big East. If teams decide they have to double Luke Harangody in the post, it's conceivable McAlarney could trade places with the burly forward and lead the Big East in scoring. He was on fire from the perimeter during Notre Dame's six-game summer exhibition tour of Ireland.
Senior Ryan Ayers will be the third starter in the backcourt for the Irish. He's another excellent perimeter shooter (55 3-pointers, 45.1 percent from 3-point range) who helps Notre Dame keep the floor spread. He played in all 33 games last season and made 17 starts. He makes good decisions with the ball (1.8 assist-to-turnover ratio, second on the team to Jackson), and he's an above-average defender.
Jonathan Peoples lends depth and probably will play 10-15 minutes per game.
No one saw it coming. From his freshman to sophomore seasons, Harangody - a 6-8 power forward - evolved into a mythical beast called "Gody" (pronounced GO-dee) who dominated the Big East. He led the conference in scoring and finished second in rebounding. In conference-only games, he led the league in both categories. His numbers in conference play (23.3 ppg, 11.3 rpg) were even better than his season numbers. No one else was within five points of his scoring average in Big East play. He posted 17 double-doubles and scored in double figures in 32 of Notre Dame's 33 games. In 14 games against NCAA tournament teams Harangody averaged 21.8 points and 12.3 rebounds, including 32 points and 16 rebounds against Connecticut and 40 points and 12 rebounds against Louisville.
So what does he do for an encore? He works on his perimeter shooting and his conditioning, determined to be even better this season. Harangody looks stronger and leaner, a scary thought for the opposition.
Zach Hillesland will join Harangody in the frontcourt. He saw action in all 33 games last season and made 16 starts. He shot 50 percent and was the Irish's third-leading rebounder. He's a solid role player who takes good shots, takes care of the ball and understands the first options offensively are Harangody and McAlarney.
Depth in the frontcourt is provided by 6-11 senior Luke Zeller, an adept perimeter shooter who can draw opposing big men away from the basket, and redshirt Carleton Scott. Scott is a long, athletic wing who runs well and can finish at the rim. If Zeller can prove to the coaches that he can help on the boards, he could see significant minutes and maybe even crack the starting lineup.
The Irish first will look to run and score in transition, which they did well enough last season to lead the Big East (79 ppg). When forced to set up in the half court they're a motion team that will play inside out. They'll dump it in to Harangody and work off him; otherwise Jackson will drive and kick to the bevy of 3-point shooters. Notre Dame is one team that will not be bothered in the least by the 3-point line moving back a foot.
The Irish mix man-to-man and a 2-3 zone. They play good position defense. Don't look for them to trap or extend beyond half court. Their best defensive weapon is Jackson pressuring the ball.
Shoes to Fill
F Rob Kurz. Kurz (12.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg) took a lot of pressure off Harangody. He was a solid rebounder and another big man who could take opposing bigs out on the perimeter (39 3-pointers).
Must Step Up
Zeller. The Irish need someone to play Harangody's sidekick up front. The coaches like Zeller's offensive game, but they need him to be more of a presence on the boards and defensively.
Impact Newcomer
Scott. He didn't play last season but looked good on the exhibition tour of Ireland. He can get out in transition and fill the lane.

Here you will learn to calculate the standard deviation of sample sets and populations.
What is standard deviation? How is the standard deviation of a set related to variance? Is the standard deviation of a sample different from that of a population, the way it is with variation?
This lesson details the process of calculating standard deviation, and introduces a few examples of its use. After the lesson we'll review the questions above, using the knowledge we have gained.
Watch This
http://youtu.be/HvDqbzu0i0E Khan Academy – Statistics-Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a very common term in statistics and it is not particularly difficult to calculate, particularly if you have already identified the variance of a set. The standard deviation is sort of a "reference difference from the mean" that you can use to evaluate the spread of the data in a set.
For instance, assume the mean of a particular set is 6 and the standard deviation is 4. If you are considering a value of 21, it is probably a very rare occurrence in that set since 21 is nearly 4 standard deviations away from the mean ( and 16 more than the mean would be 22). However, a value of 8 is much more likely, given that it is only of a standard deviation (SD) away from the mean.
Recall from the lesson Calculating Variance that calculating the variance of a set involves finding the arithmetic mean, subtracting each data point value from the mean and squaring the result, then finding the sum of the squared results and dividing by either the number of members of the set (population) or the number of members -1 (sample). See the first part of Example B for a review of finding the variance.
- Once you have the variance of a population, you are practically done finding the SD.
- To find the SD, simply take the square root of the variance . That's it!
- One important difference between the variance and the standard deviation is that the units associated with variance are the square of the units of the original values, but the units associated with the standard deviation are the same as the units in the original set.
We will return to SD in our chapter on "Normal Distribution", when we will further discuss the uses of the SD of both samples and populations.
Example A
What is the standard deviation of a set with of 14.6?
Solution: The standard deviation is simply the square root of the variance . As a formula: .
In this case we have:
Example B
What is the of set ?
Solution: First find the variation of the set:
Deviations and squared deviations:
Example C
Katrina wants to use the average scores of the top long jumpers at the 5 schools in her district to predict the average long jumps for top competitors at all schools in her state. Data for her district is below. Find the appropriate variance and standard deviation of the jumps.
Solution: Since Katrina intends to generalize from her sample data back to the population of jumpers in her state; we need to find the sample variance and corresponding sample standard deviation.
Start by finding the mean distance:
- As a decimal:
Deviations and squared deviations of each value:
- (Remember to divide by , since this is a sample)
Concept Problem Revisited
What is standard deviation? How is the standard deviation of a set related to variance? Is the standard deviation of a sample different from that of a population, the way it is with variation?
By now you should know that standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data, and is calculated as the square root of the variance. Since variance is calculated slightly differently for a sample than for a population, the deviation will differ similarly.
Standard deviation is calculated by finding the square root of the variance. The standard deviation acts as a reference unit of difference from the mean in a set of data.
The variance is calculated as the sum of the squared differences from the mean, divided by either the number of values (for populations) or the number of values minus one (for samples).
Guided Practice
1. Find the mean , variance , and standard deviance of set .
2. Find the mean , variance , and standard deviance of set .
3. Which set has the greater standard deviation, or ?
4. Kevin takes a random sample of ages of students in his class, and gets the following values, what is the sample variance and standard deviation of the set?
1. Let's start by finding the mean, since we will need it to calculate the others:
Now we calculate the deviation of each value from the mean and square it:
Now we sum the squared deviations: , and divide the total by the number of values: to get the variance.
Finally, to get the standard deviation , just take the square root of .
2. Start by finding
Next, find the squared variation from the mean for each value:
Sum the squared deviations and divide by the number of values to get the variance:
Finally, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation:
3. Follow the same series of steps to find the standard deviation of each set.
Set has the greater standard deviation
4. There are 13 values, with
- The sum of the squared deviations is: 15.2308, divide by 12 (since this is a sample!), to get the sample variance :
- The square root of the sample variance is the sample standard deviation:
Find and :
1. 265, 280.7, 293, 279, 314.2, 300, 289
2. 7200, 7020, 7165.9, 7100, 7196, 7112, 7116.1

People Express Airlines, stylized as PEOPLExpress, was an American low-cost airline that operated from 1981 to 1987, when it merged into Continental Airlines. The airline's headquarters was in the North Terminal of Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.
Founding and rapid expansion[edit]
The company was founded by Don Burr, and several others, who resigned from Frank Lorenzo's Texas International in order to do so. Burr was influenced by British airline entrepreneur Freddie Laker, whose forays into low-cost air travel attracted much press in the 1970s. Terminal space was leased at Newark Airport's North Terminal. The North Terminal was the primary passenger building at the airport until 1974 when Terminal A opened. Prior to People Express, the North Terminal was used by World Airways, and prior to the opening of Terminal C, North Terminal was used for international arrivals.
People Express (PEx) was launched on April 30, 1981 with 737s from Newark to Buffalo, Columbus and Norfolk; Jacksonville and Cleveland Hopkins were added a month later. In December PE had 42 weekday departures from EWR to Baltimore/Washington, Boston Logan, Burlington, Buffalo Niagara, Port Columbus, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Sarasota-Bradenton, Syracuse Hancock and Palm Beach plus some flights around the periphery of the hub-and-spokes.
On May 26, 1983 People Express began non-stop flights from Newark to London's Gatwick Airport with a leased Boeing 747-227B previously operated by Braniff International Airways. Flights started at $149 each way. The airline was an instant success with all flights sold out.
The airline used a simplified fare structure. All seats on a route were offered at the same price except for slightly-lower "off-peak" fares. All seats were in economy class except for "Premium Class" on overseas flights. Fares were paid in cash aboard the aircraft early in the flight. Passengers were permitted to bring one carry-on bag for free and each checked bag cost $3.00. People Express was the first United States airline to charge a fee for each checked bag. People Express also charged modest amounts for customers wanting food or beverages. Sodas cost 50 cents per can, honey-roasted peanuts and Rachel's brownies were also 50 cents, and the famous People Express "snak-pak" (an assortment of cheeses, crackers and salami) cost $2.
Acquisitions of other airlines[edit]
In 1985 People Express bought out Denver-based Frontier Airlines. The combined company had flights to most major U.S. cities and to Brussels. People Express also bought midwest commuter carrier Britt Airways and Provincetown-Boston Airlines (PBA), a regional airline serving New England and Florida.
By June 1985, People Express had lost $5.8 million on operating income of $18.7 million.[1]
On August 2, 1985, the company announced it was launching daily Boeing 747 service between Brussels and Newark at the prices of $149; to promote the new route, fares were discounted to $99 until September 30.[1] By that time, the airline flew to 41 cities worldwide, with 4,000 employees and a fleet of 72 airplanes.[1]
The purchasing spree placed an enormous debt burden on the carrier at the same time major legacy carriers' improved yield management schemes enabled them to better compete with People Express fares.[citation needed] Integrating Frontier's operations caused labor struggles within the newly absorbed airline, and the change to a low-fare, no-frills mentality alienated Frontier's passengers.[citation needed]
Debt pressure on the carrier forced a change in philosophy, as People Express sought to lure business travelers who would pay higher fares. Aircraft cabins were redesigned to include a first-class section, a frequent flyer plan was initiated, and the simplified fare structure was abandoned in favor of the now-usual "revenue management" pricing.
Merger with Continental Airlines[edit]
The failed integration and enormous debt stretched People Express too far, and in June 1986, the company announced they were working with an investment bank to seek buyers for part, or all, of the airline. A deal to sell Frontier off to United Airlines fell through due to the inability of United to agree to terms with their unions on how to incorporate Frontier's staff, leading People Express management to cease Frontier's operations and file for bankruptcy protection for the subsidiary.
In the end, People Express was forced to sell entirely to Texas Air Corporation for roughly $125 million in cash, notes, and assumed debt. Due to concerns about regulatory approval for the purchase, Texas Air purchased the assets of Frontier from People Express in a separate transaction worth $176 million. People Express ceased to exist as a carrier on February 1, 1987, when their operations were merged into the operations of Continental Airlines, another Texas Air subsidiary, under a joint marketing agreement.
People Express' spartan, no-frills service earned the carrier several derisive nicknames, including "People Distress" and "Air Bulgaria" (a sarcastic reference to the poor customer service associated with Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War).[2]
Reuse of name[edit]
On February 13, 2012, Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport announced the resurrection of the PEOPLExpress brand for a start-up airline.[3] Corporate headquarters for the airline were located in Newport News. Service was initially anticipated to begin from Pittsburgh in late 2013. However this was delayed until 2014 due to the lengthy certification process.[4] On October 5, Jeffrey Erickson, former Atlas Air President and CEO was announced as PEOPLExpress CEO.[5]
Having eventually started service on June 30, 2014, PEOPLExpress abruptly suspended service on September 26, 2014 due to its two planes being grounded for maintenance and repairs.[6]
On November 12, 2014, PEOPLExpress was evicted from the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport due to non-payment of Passenger Facilities Charges of US$100,000.[7]

In popular culture[edit]
On the animated sitcom The Simpsons season 5 premiere episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", Homer Simpson says "People Express introduced a generation of hicks to air travel", when talking about the year 1985.
The PeopleExpress headquarters were on the grounds of Newark International Airport.[8] The headquarters offices, described by the Miami Herald as "a maze-like bevy of small offices," were in an attic,[9] located on the second floor of the North Terminal.[10][11] The North Terminal first opened in 1953.[12] Before the arrival of PeopleExpress, the terminal was largely unused, although it had some charter flights departing and arriving there.[13] After the end of PeopleExpress, the Department of Veterans Affairs used the former terminal as a transfer point for casualties in the Gulf War.[14] In 1997 a project to demolish the North Terminal and redevelop the land was underway, with a cost of $50.1 million.[15]

Puppy mills: A national disgrace
posted 5 years ago
I'm proud to say my town of Great Falls, Montana is home to two outstanding people: Walter Breuning, the oldest man in the world (113 years young); and Carol Bradley, a courageous writer (trust me).
Carol has written a book about puppy mills, and a rescued puppy mill dog named Gracie, that everyone should read -- not just "dog people." If you aren't yet an activist against institutionalized wrongs before reading her book, you will find it hard to stay that way afterwards.
Pros: Compelling writing on an important subject
Cons: Some facts can make you melt down momentarily

Design Notes
May 21, 2014
Congratulations Runester333!
The second 'Design a Release Contest' winner unleashes Chaos upon the AQWorld this Friday!
Last week, you and your fellow heroes dominated the first-ever player-created release, picked from hundreds of submissions in the Design a Release contest. Thousands of heroes banded together to take down the foulest fowl of all: the Cockatrice, designed by fellow player Alastair Q!
And come Friday, May 23, at sundown, it will be time for Runester333 to shine!
Spoiler Alert: Chaos Consumes the Secret Underground Lab…
AdventureQuest Worlds, a land full of arcane magics and tangible chaos, is the brainchild of the tireless mods and programmers who have poured their ideas into it. Unfortunately, they underestimated the true power of the chaos that they created, and the Chaorruption has leaked into the underground lab.
After infecting the programmers, it downloaded their deepest thoughts into the game, creating the Chaorrupted lab.
When Beleen's dream world became a reality during the Valentine's Day event, no one thought much of it—it was just another update right? WRONG! Programmer after programmer, all of the AQW team have had their consciousness hacked by the game they created and watched as their own personalities formed new dreamworlds throughout the land of lore (at least it saved some time on programming!).
As the team watched, more and more of their ideas poured into these new worlds, and then it happened. The chaos managed to pull the programmers themselves into the game and Chaorrupted them. With the chaos now more powerful than ever and no programmers to give the players a way to stop it time is running out to save the world of lore from complete chaos.
Can the players band together to save their favorite mods and save the game they love before it is plunged into complete purple havoc?
Who is Runester333?
At the dawn of the plane of Lore, the great mods invited adventurers from other forms of the world, ever so similar but somehow so very different, to inhabit this new realm: AdventureQuest Worlds. The mods granted these heroes a taste of adventure that the adventurers couldn't resist.
Runester333 was one of them.
Not long after, the mods formed the chaos to see what it would do. No one was prepared for what happened next, and since then, Runester333 has been travelling through Lore offering what help he can in subduing this ghastly incorporeal purple entity.
Having no true form of its own, it has been Chaorrupting all of the mods' original creations into new, abhorrent, yet somehow awesome, creations. Runester stands ever ready, waiting for Chaos's next move, and his next chance to advance the fight against it. In this penultimate hour, Runester has allied himself with new adventurers throughout Lore, readying himself for Chaos's final stand!
How did Runester333 start playing AQWorlds?
Runester started his AE adventures after a recommendation from a school friend back in 2005. Per his request, Runester333 signed up and logged in… and he instantly fell in love with the game. It filled a niche in the gaming market that nothing at the time could quite replicate. As AE added game after game, Runester tried his hand at each of them, and is still active in most.
However, AQW is by far his favorite (yay! We think so too!). He started playing back in the Beta phase after seeing the ad on the original AdventureQuest, and has been playing AQW ever since. Runester333 has done his best to collect every character page badge and rare that he could over the years, and has made oh-so-many tough choices on which rares to keep.
"That's the ingenuity in the game—all the chaos that it pumps out!" exclaims Runester333. "There's so many amazing people working to add more and more great ideas, great items, and overall great experiences, it just keeps you coming back every week!"
What inspired Runester333 to enter this contest?
"Frappuccino, check. Cyberhunter shirt, check. AQW calendar posters, check. Writing space is ready—and the memories come flooding back!
"I had actually posted a longer, vaguer version of this release onto the AQW feature and functionality suggestion forum just a few weeks prior to the contest, thinking that it would never make it up the ranks and dreaming of an event-design contest. To my utter amazement… a few weeks later the announcement for the contest was posted.
"The stars has aligned and my goal was set, so I set to the work of filling in a more specific plot, designing items, quests, dialogue, everything that need to go into it, painstakingly ensuring that it complied with all the contest regulations. Several hours and one massive headache later (I finally really understand how important the coffee machine is to you guys!) I had my outline designed and I posted it.
"I had a very weird dream—one that I vaguely remember—which inspired the original concept on the idea, and from there I tried to model it a little after the first Lionfang event that was my all-time favorite event. And to this day, is the reason that Halloween is my favorite holiday.
"After all these years you guys manage to consistently improve every game, but AQW has that community aspect to it along with the history, the legacy, and the memories… it's just an overall incredible game and the chance to have actually influenced the game like this is a dream come true. I can't wait to see servers full of players enjoying my ideas and knowing that I helped each of them make another memory and hopefully a few will have their "Lionfang event experience," that one release that they will always remember and will be the reason that they log on again every Friday for years to come."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Runester333! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing stories with us!
And come Friday, May 23 at sundown, Runester's latest story will come to fruition in "The Chaorrupted Lab: Out of the Purple" at www.AQ.com !
Want more spoilers about Runester333's upcoming release? Stay tuned to Memet's Twitter here, or my Twitter huuuur, or Cysero's Twitter thuuuurrrr.
Battle on!
xoxo Beleen! =D

Congratulations Alastair Q!
The 'Design a Release Contest' winner will unleash his diabolical creation this Friday in AdventureQuest Worlds!
A few weeks ago, AQWorlds hosted our first ever "Design a Release Contest," where 1 grand prize winner would get to see their ideas come to life in a brand new in-game weekly release.
But there's a problem: you guys and gals are just too darn good at storytelling. So we choose 2 grand prize winners: Alastair Q, and Runester333!
This Friday at sundown, you will be making history alongside AdventureQuest Worlds, as you and your fellow heroes embark upon our first-ever player-created weekly release, "The Fell Beast" by Alastair Q!
Spoiler Alert: Gaze into the Mirror Realm…
Once the twisted playground of a foul Warlock, the forces of Order at last razed this evil construction to the ground at the zenith of the Great War against the forces of Alteon. Only the spirits of the fallen lurk here... along with the cursed Warlock's detestable minions.
Though the war is over in the Mirror Realm, darkness still broods in the heart of King Alteon the Imbalanced's accursed realm. A foul beast known only as a harbinger of disease and rot, the Cockatrice, runs amok without master or influence, ready to strike at the armies of the Champion of Order, Mirror Drakath.
For a while, the beast was trouble enough, carrying intelligence unlike its brethren, but now, events have taken a turn for the worst. Carrying still a semblance of its master's malevolence within, the Cockatrice has stolen from Mirror Drakath and his forces the most vital prize in the Mirror Realm; the Egg containing the developing 13th Beast of Order.
Hiding in the ruins of the Dark Warlock's Dungeon, the beast guards its prize, and you and Mirror Drakath must first locate this foul creature.
First, you will be heading to Battleoff and Brightfall to question those there as to the beast's whereabouts, before heading into the dark dungeon with Mirror Drakath and facing the hordes of undead who make their home there, all before slaying the fell Cockatrice once and for all!
Unless you are able to defeat the beast and keep the Egg intact, the realms will be thrown out of balance, allowing Chaos its final victory in your world and those beyond!
Who is Alastair Q?
Alastair Q is the sort of good-hearted hero who helps the helpless and defends the defenseless, all without expecting a reward from them—the true reward is the satisfaction gained from making someone's life better.
Before falling down a mountain and travelling down the path against Chaos, Alastair Q was simply a mercenary aligned with Good. If there was a job that needed doing, he did, but only if his moral principles would not be violated as a result.
As Sepulchure's forces marched closer to Swordhaven, Alastair took an oath upon himself to protect the realm he loved and to vanquish—or at least slow the process of the Undead, for what mortal can face a Doomknight of the shadow? After the climactic battle in Swordhaven and the subsequent Chaorruption of King Alteon, Alastair swore to do whatever it takes in order to defeat Drakath, all without breaking his morals.
Now, Alastair is more of a lone gun. Even though he will team up when needed, most of the time he's riding solo in his adventures across Lore, gaining the respect of all factions affected by Chaos so as to have the full might of Lore's armies behind him when marching to bring an end to Chaos on Lore.
How did Alastair start playing AQWorlds?
Originally, Alastair was playing the original AdventureQuest back in 2008. He slayed hundreds of foul beasts until he saw an advertisement for AQW, and he thought he may as well go and try it out.
Alastair did, and since 2009, he hasn't stopped playing!
"I can't really describe what I enjoy about AQW - the beautiful background art, the music (especially in the newer areas), there are just too many details to pin-point.
"If there is anything I love especially, it is the wide range of items available for customization, allowing me to make my character the way I want him to be, without having to worry about what combination of items will be best for combat and instead, being able to enjoy the game, as was intended."
What inspired Alastair to enter the contest:
"For me, the contest was a means to create a nice, standalone release which connected to the Chaos Saga, which players could enjoy and play through.
"My primary reason for choosing to enter was to contribute to AQW's canon - to form a part of AQW history and play a role, no matter how small, in adding to in-game lore.
"The second reason would have to be the Cockatrice itself - a very unique beast which rather surprisingly, was not yet present in AQW. There I saw my niche, and built my release around the monster whilst still attempting to retain that blend of humor and seriousness that makes AQW so appealing each and every week.
"The final reason includes the Mirror Realm. All of the other area choices were each appealing in their own way - but the Mirror Realm is perhaps the least unexplored of their own, and being a mirror image of our own Lore, the possibilities for a release were endless! Mirroring the approach of the 13th Lord of Chaos and the end of the Chaos Saga, I pictured things would be going equally well for the forces of Order as they were for Chaos, and so the idea of the 13th Beast of Order came to be.
"Overall, all these reasons are why I chose to join the contest, to try and immortalize an enjoyable release into AQW's canon.
"If I lost, I could at least have the satisfaction of knowing I tried, so I thought I may as well give it a shot. And in the end, is that not what matters - to keep on trying even after loss?"
Such inspiration from an aspiring hero! On behalf of the entire AQWorlds team and all the players who defend the world of Lore, we cannot wait to experience Alastair Q's release, The Fell Beast, happening this Friday night at www.AQ.com. (Runester333's release will take place within the next few weeks!)
Stay tuned to the Design Notes, the AQWorlds Facebook Page, and my Twitter for more spoilers about Alastair Q's release!
Battle on!
xoxo Beleen! =D

Good value, good foodby on 12/13/2010
They are famous for their lemon garlic chicken and it's great! The portions are plentiful and the flavor is authentic.\r \r I've been here a few times and I always order the garlic chicken or the arroz con pollo. I've never been dissapointed...it's a pretty casual atmosphere and a great neighborhood place. It's usually pretty crowded around peak lunch time and dinner time, so plan accordingly.
Dissapointing first time experience!by on 11/10/2010
The Cuban sandwich was by far one of the worst ones I have ever had. It had one slice of ham and one slice of pork! I have eaten ""Cubanos"" in Miami, Puerto Rico, Orlando, Tampa, New York and the one from Versailles in La Cienaga is a sore let down. I mentioned it to the waiter and he was somewhat at a loss for explanation. After eating half of the skinny Cuban, I could not contain my dissapointment and mentioned to the manager. He merely said I waited too long to complain (as if I was trying to get a free lunch!). I should have sent it back as soon as it arrived. Needless to say - I can not believe that the sandwich was so bad, the manager so rude, and that I wasted my time looking the place up while on my vacation. Never again! \r
Homecooked cuban foodby dsjhong on 10/11/2010
Love the homecooked feel of the cuban faire here. Enjoy their oxe tail dish, with rice, beans, and plantains the most. A glass of sangria doesn't hurt.
Awesome Cuban foodby on 12/27/2008
If you are starving and need one meal to fill you up for the day, go to Versailles. You can't go wrong the pork or chicken. And the plantains are always cooked to perfection. Your breath and pores might be kickin after but it's worth it. Just don't go dancing or to the gym. Or Bikram.
People just haven't (a) tried El Colmao, or (b) had real Cuban food!by on 11/04/2008
I seriously don't understand the ratings of this place. I've been here several times, trying to give it other chances after being dragged by people who claim this place to have ""the best Cuban food."" I'm sorry, but I've been invited into homes in La Habana and treated to authentic cooking and this is NOT even close. I ordered a bistec empanizado and I could've sworn it was breaded w/ ritz crackers or something else SO gross. The beef in the lomo saltado wasn't even seasoned! The rice wasn't even salted. In Cuba, the locals put salt in their rice. I'm not big on salt but definitely know that rice in a Cuban meal tastes saltier than rice served w/ a Chinese entree.
Cuban Perfectionby on 06/28/2008
The absolute best Cuban food I've had in a very very long time. I'm from Jersey, and am accustomed to strolling into Union City (the second largest Cuban population outside of Cuba) and filling my mouth with a freshly made Cubano and batido de mamey. So my Cuban food standards are high my friends. And this place, surpassed them. Not only was the service excellent and friendly and prompt, but when the food arrived, it was very close what I am used to. The plates were huge and the food was very very good. I had the bbq chicken con arroz blanco, moros y maduros and my boyfriend had the pollo empanizado with the same sides. The portions of meat were huge. They skimped a little on the white rice (which could have been a bit warmer/fresher for my taste) and the maduro (which were crisped and ripened to absolute perfection), but the black beans were excellent, really. They even had Fruta Bomba (sweetened papaya chunks in syrup with cream cheese), people! Oh, yes and batidos de mamey! I will be back to this restaurant again and again. My boyfriend wasn't impressed - but then again, he was begging me to let him drive us through at McDonalds. Thank God I declined. Versaille - if your reading: please add some captions to the incredible photo gallery you have going on the restaurant (oh and straighten them out while your at it). \r \r \r
Best Cuban food outside Florida!!by flaljee on 12/17/2007
Great food, served hot and fast. Try their Chicken and don't forget the extra garlic sauce.
great food in an old school ambienceby Samantha G. on 11/12/2007
The food is spectacular. An LA staple and a date favorite. The classic Famoso Pollo Versailles Versailles Famous Garlic Chicken is so great I can hardly order something different on the menu. Coupled with some sangria and you have a complete meal.
