- "Just point me at the enemy, and stay out of my way."
- ―Sev
RC-1207, also known as Delta-07 and Sev, was a clone commando and a sharpshooter in Delta squad of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. He was often referred to by his nickname of Sev, especially by his squad mates, and was well known for his sadistic sense of humor. Sev aided the Republic in a number of missions, fighting on planets such as Geonosis, Coruscant, Skuumaa, Mygeeto, Dorumaa, and finally Kashyyyk, where he went missing in action. Sev completed many Black Operations for the Republic—covert missions typically involving activities that were highly secret due to questionable ethics and legality. Sev served under the Jedi Arligan Zey, Bardan Jusik and Etain Tur-Mukan.
Early life and Geonosis
- "He's in there, I was gonna shoot him but I was... busy."
- ―Sev
Sev, part of Delta squad, was trained on Kamino by Sergeant Walon Vau. Vau, a Mandalorian, believed that in order for his commandos to survive in combat, he must train them as harshly as possible—to do anything less would compromise their training; thus, Delta squad performed live fire exercises.[3]
Like most clone troopers, Sev was first deployed during the Battle of Geonosis. He and Delta squad had the objective of eliminating the Geonosian lieutenant Sun Fac; however, they had to split up for the drop and had to rendezvous close to their target. Although Sev was first to the rendezvous, he was the last to meet up with RC-1138, the squad's sergeant, also known as Boss, due to the fact that Boss had met the rest of the squad on the way to the rendezvous.[1]
Once they infiltrated the planning room the squad quickly set about killing all occupants, although Sun Fac escaped to a landing pad, leaving two Super Battle Droids to cover his back. After dealing with the droids Sev and the rest of Delta squad made their way to the landing pad. Sun Fac had already reached his Star Fighter and was heating up the engine, Boss quickly ordered Sev to take the fighter out from a sniping position. Before Sev could down him, Sun Fac was in the air, however instead of running he stayed, obviously hoping to blow the squad apart with his laser cannons, but before he could do so, Sev downed his fighter.[1]
Delta squad then went into the catacombs of Geonosis to investigate the loss of a missing squad and a mysterious jamming device. After traveling though the Geonosian birthing chambers, they found and destroyed the jamming device along with numerous droids before escaping quickly. Sev and the squad later destroyed a Core Ship, sabotaging it from inside, then escaping the ship while it was exploding around them.[1]
Mission to the Prosecutor
367 days into the Clone Wars, Sev and the rest of Delta squad found themselves investigating an Acclamator-class assault ship, Prosecutor, which had disappeared earlier and now mysteriously reappeared on the border of Republic space. The Prosecutor, under the command of Captain Martz, had been the squad's first home. The troopers were inserted individually so that they could each cover more ground. Sev was set upon by scavenger droids and Trandoshans and was captured. He was interrogated by the Trandoshans but was soon rescued by Boss and Fixer, another member of Delta squad. After rescuing Scorch, Delta's demolitions expert, the squad, now together again, destroyed the Trandoshan assault force that had taken over the ship and protected the Prosecutor from a full-scale Separatist boarding operation, destroying droids in three of the ships hangars before sealing the hangar force field to prevent more dispensers arriving in the hangar.[1]
Mission with Omega
- "Full Corrie breakfast for the young psychopath here, tinnie."
- ―RC-1262, to a server droid, referring to Sev
Sev and the rest of Delta then left the Prosecutor in a captured Neimoidian shuttle. Shortly thereafter they received a Red Zero signal from Omega Squad, calling for immediate extraction. Delta Squad was the first Republic unit on the scene and were able to extract the Omegas from the derelict transport on which they were trapped, with fire support from RAS Fearless. Delta and Omega Squads were taken aboard Fearless, which took them to Coruscant, where they would participate in a covert counter-terrorism operation.[2]
Once on Coruscant Sev, Delta and Omega Squads, headed by Kal Skirata fought against terrorists. Sev had a number of arguments with Atin, a clone commando from Omega, who was the only person from Walon Vau's group to have lost squad mates; but, with word from Omega's sergeant and the work of tracking down the terrorists, bickering ceased between them. Nonetheless, Sev was still slightly hostile to Fi, Omega squad's sniper, due to the competitiveness that had sprung up between them.[2] Sometime after defeating the terrorists Delta squad were sent to Skuumaa, a planet in the Mid Rim under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[4]
Mid Clone Wars
- "Lock and load, Deltas."
- ―Boss
Sev and the rest of Delta squad arrived on Skuumaa, ahead of the main Republic assault force. They sabotaged strategic targets and prepared the battlefield.[3]
Later Delta squad went on a mission behind enemy lines to Mygeeto, cursor to the Battle of Mygeeto. There they went against their orders by aiding Walon Vau in his robbery of an underground bank there, but Vau made the squad abandon him when he fell down a hole and got stuck. Later, however, Kal Skirata, a sergeant in the GAR, came to rescue him, after he received a tip off from Delta squad, Sev took the fact that they had, according to him, let Vau down particularly hard.[4]
Ko Sai
- "It's a fish, Scorch. You'll get over it. So will the fish."
- ―Sev, to RC-1262
Sev and the rest of Delta Squad were assigned by Arligan Zey to capture the renegade Kaminoan scientist, Ko Sai. They were put under the command of Bardan Jusik, a Jedi Knight, but he secretly tried to slow them down, as he had also told Kal Skirata the information they had on Ko Sai and he wanted Skirata to get to her first, due mainly to the fact that Skirata had taken Jusik under his wing. Sev commented on the fact that Jusik was "ok" but he had noticed Jusik was slowing them down; when Jusik sent one of their suspects on his way without giving Delta a chance to interrogate him, Sev was frustrated. They tracked Ko Sai to Dorumaa, but Skirata had got there first, captured her and destroyed her underwater hideout. Zey said he wanted to know definitely whether or not she had been there, so he had Delta carry out an excavation of the underwater site, something that Sev and the squad as a whole found very tedious and time consuming. They didn't find anything, but after Ko Sai committed suicide, Skirata gave the Deltas her head to present to Zey. Sev studied Arligan Zey's face with great amusement.[4]
- "That's what I'm talking about. It's a power generator, in the middle of a tree. Strange."
- ―Sev
Sev and the rest of Delta squad later found themselves on Kashyyyk, for intelligence reasons. They destroyed a Trandoshan supply camp the Separatists were using to get an edge on the Wookiees. Once inside the slaving operation, they saw the Wookiee leader Tarfful. Once they had gunned down the MagnaGuards holding him prisoner, they escorted Tarfful back to his Wookiees. Later, a Separatist Recusant-class light destroyer hovered over Kachirho, gunning it down. Delta Squad had to split up so they could all man one of the four Wookiee rocket launcher turrets to take it out. Delta used the combined power of the turrets to destroy the cruiser, then rendezvoused at Boss's position – but on the way, Sev lost radio contact and was assumed to have been ambushed by Separatist forces. Torn between following orders and rescuing their brother, the rest of Delta squad reluctantly left the area, knowing that duty came before brotherhood. They were visibly wracked with guilt after boarding their gunship without Sev, but Boss quickly pulled the remaining Deltas back together for their next mission.[1]
Personality and traits
- "Any sign of what killed him, Scorch? Let's ask Sev. He's a dead-body-ologist."
- ―Bardan Jusik and RC-1262, after finding a humanoid skeleton underwater
Though he inwardly struggled with the concept of living up to Walon Vau, he was outwardly a tough, aggressive individual; often showing psychopathic tendencies. Although Scorch had the reputation as Delta Squad's comedian, Sev had a grim and sadistic sense of humor, which was more often than not the counterpart to Scorch's jokes. Sev was Delta squad's sniper – and was at his best when sighting an enemy in the scope of his DC-17m sniper rifle. Like his fellow clone commandos, Sev wore the distinctive Katarn armor, but his suit also had grim, blood-red streaks painted across it. His squad mates, however, sometimes wondered if these disturbing markings were actually paint at all.[3]
Regardless of how Sev developed his unique personality, it was generally agreed that he was a supremely efficient fighter.[3] (Scorch often joked that his cloning tank had been "spiked" which was resulting in his sadistic behavior.)
Behind the scenes
Sev first appeared in the video game Star Wars: Republic Commando, voiced by Jonathan Cook. His character was expanded on in Republic Commando: Triple Zero, Republic Commando: True Colors and Republic Commando: Order 66 all written by Karen Traviss.
Using the scope of a sniper rifle, it is possible to see Sev on the platform after his supposed "death." Whether this is an oversight or intentional remains to be seen. Walon Vau also hints that he may go to Kashyyyk to look for Sev. It is however quite possible Sev survived and he was just left for dead.

Stress and the Blog
View JANEITESARAH's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from JANEITESARAH
Monday, June 24, 2013
As some of you reading my blog might have surmised, I've been under a lot of stress. Being unemployed is difficult, add to that relationship problems (not mentioned much here, just that there are some because frankly, it's hard to talk about in such an open forum) and I'm living with my parents. That isn't so bad, but really I'd prefer to be living alone. Taking steps to make this change is hard, because I am scared of whatever steps I can take. But I think that if I take time and listen, the answers will come, and my stress will be reduced. It's the forcing myself to take the steps to slow down, take time and allow myself to listen that's the hard part.
I think part if it is that I don't want to hear some things, and it's easier to ignore if I don't listen. But what I lose with that mentality is that I might hear exactly what I want and need to hear. That's crazy, but true. I need to just sit still and allow myself to listen.
I've been trying to start a centering prayer practice- which is a time of sitting in silence (both physical and mental silence) and allowing God to be with you in the moment. I need to work on that. I need to make that happen. I think this would be exactly what I need to start this whole listening thing. I remember every day what the Psalms say, "Every morning I lay my troubles before you, O God, and wait expectantly." This I do. This I do well. I'm pretty good at waiting, but the listening is a big problem area.
Anyway, that's my stress-reduction idea. The walking has been helping, and I've been able to keep my environment fairly organized thanks to the homeopathic remedy that keeps headaches and depression at bay, and I'm finding joy and relief in the little growing things with which I've surrounded myself. I know that removing and/or dealing with this stress is going to impact my weight pretty quickly, and I can't wait until it breaks and I can loose that baggage.

To blank it out you need one of the shapers mentioned earlier, I would suggest a saw, but I had a go with the hatchet for my firewood log attempt, this left the final piece more rustic, as there were deeper gouges from the hatchet.
As you can see from the pictures, I made a cuboid, but you could make it any shape you like.
Once you have the basic shape done, you can work on it with progressively finer tools- like a plane, then sander, then finer sandpaper..
- You should have a go at using a plane if you haven't already- they are really fun, and they make a big mess of wood curls everywhere.
A belt sander is really helpful, but not necessary. I put mine upside down in the vise so I could bring the work to the tool, not the other way round, which is easier for smaller stuff.

April 12, 2013: Original Story found on The Boston Globe's website.
Private Sector Colleges and Universities Play Needed Role
WHILE WE agree with Attorney General Martha Coakley that safeguards must be in place to prevent fiscal crises in any sector, we cannot support her comparison of the subprime mortgage crisis with rising student debt, especially in light of America's increasing skills gap ("Familiar warning signs in for-profit schools," Op-ed, April 10).
Even in a state with a long history in higher education, proposals like Coakley's will result in limiting higher education access. Our nation faces a shortfall in education capacity to train students for in-demand careers. Despite best intentions, public institutions cannot fill those gaps alone. According to the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, the state, like others, has cut support for higher education spending by 31 percent since 2001.
Private enterprises have stepped in to fill the gap. Today, private sector institutions in Massachusetts account for 70 percent of all certificates awarded in the state and our schools employ nearly 3,000 dedicated workers.
Instead of demonizing one type of institution, let us find a way to work together to grow the connection between postsecondary education and careers.

The guy who didn't want to be in Denver is gone. The guy who wants to be in Denver will likely be staying for the rest of his coaching career.
Nuggets coach George Karl is close to getting a contract extension, team executive Masai Ujiri said Tuesday.
Ujiri has been saying he wants to lock in Karl on an extension. Karl has said he wants to finish his NBA career in Denver and live here after retiring.
The Nuggets' front office has been a tad busy orchestrating Carmelo Anthony's trade to the New York Knicks. But there's a good chance that by next month Karl will have a multiyear contract extension. Karl is in the last year of his current deal.
Karl spoke to the media for 23 lively minutes Tuesday, giving his thoughts on the Anthony trade and the Nuggets going forward.
"I might be crazy, but I think we can make the playoffs and also be a threat to win in the playoffs," said Karl, whose team began the day in seventh place in the Western Conference. "I'm sorry, I just think our guys are good enough to grow up fast, learn quick and get excited about playing the game, as where what we had been doing had more frustration to it than excitement to it.
"Part of this game is intensity, excitement and enthusiasm, and a part of team is camaraderie and togetherness, and I think we have time to get that stuff on the court — and also put a pretty good talent product on the court."
At one point, Karl was asked: "You're losing a guy who, many nights, was your (entire) offense. Do you think you have enough offensive pieces left?"
Karl said, "So you think the way our offense was played necessarily is good basketball?"
The reporter suggested sometimes Anthony, an all-star forward, slowed the Nuggets' offensive flow by holding the ball too much.
Karl said: "In the NBA, you win (by) how the game (determines) what is your best chance at winning. Sometimes, how we played was not exactly how I really wanted to play."

Dreams need to be planned to turn them into reality. Life Insurance acts as an ideal tool to create long term wealth and provide protection through the term of the policy. Based on your risk appetite and gestation period, your wealth can be multiplied with a smart mix of savings options.
Though each plan is unique, certain important factors that one must keep in mind while selecting a wealth creation plan are:
There has to be a long term goal in mind that can be fulfilled with the amount you get on plan maturity. Start early so that you have time to build a considerable amount of money. For example, if you intend to purchase a house or pay for your child's education with the insurance maturity proceeds, you need to define that at the beginning of the plan.
All plans have different characteristics. And wealth creation plans offer you the flexibility of customising your plans as per your goals. See if you are eligible for withdrawing money in the middle of the policy termIt is the number of years the policy will be active. without losing out on the benefits. Also, you can decide or get expert help to choose the investment mix.
A unit-linked insurance plan (ULIP) is a type of life insurance where the cash valueThe equity amount or \'saving\' accumulation in a whole life policy. of a policy varies according to the current net asset value of the underlying investment assets.
(a) Disciplined savings: Growth plans work as your long term savings instrument because they provide you with the unique feature that encourages goal-based and disciplined savings behaviour over a long term.
(b) Capital growth: Find out if the plan invests in a diversified portfolio and tackles market volatilities by creating wealth over time. Based on your life stage, your plan should provide investment strategies that maximise your returns potential.
(c) Flexibility : As per your long term savings needs, you should look for a plan that lets you choose the life cover, policy tenure, investment strategy, and premium payment term, thus providing you with flexibility.
A comparison of the free switches and redirection of investments permissible in a year gives you the freedom to plan your finances better.

The print came in very dark and it was not detailed. There was also a red dot smudged in the right corner of the painting where the clouds are, so it's kind of obvious. It was so heavy to carry back home, so I'm kind of stuck with it, but I wouldn't recommend this one.

i read that the best way to not mis your positive OPK is to test twice a day, once early in the morning and once in the evening. No need to wait to have sex, expert answer says you should have sex every other day to increase chances of getting pregnant. Dont stress out about the opk, and just enjoy yourself!

Mega Fruit 2" Gumballs by Dubble Bubble 138 Count Bulk Case
These giant fruit shaped gumballs are a fruity mouthful! These gumballs are shaped like real fruit - the flavor matches the shape! So strawberry flavor looks like a bug strawberry, and lemon flavor is in the shape of a real lemon! These 2" giant gumballs by Dubble Bubble (aka Double Bubble) come in a 138 count case. Given their shape, these mega fruit gumballs will not work in gumball vending machines so please don't try (they'll jam).
Flavors: Assorted fruit flavors
Size: 2 inch gumball diameter
Quantity: 138 gumballs per case
Weight: 18 pounds
Manufacturer: Concord Confections / Tootsie Roll
- Mega Fruit GumballsReview by Ralph Rizzo
The gumballs were definitely fun and tasty! Only issue was that they were very hard. You will have to nuke them or smash them before you plop into your mouth (Posted on 11/24/2014)

More on interviewing: student vs. colleague
8 comments:
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2011 at 12:17 PM
Thanks again for all of this super useful information!!ReplyDelete
I am honestly quite surprised that #6 still comes up at this level. My advisor first started training me on this issue when I was taking my qualifier, so by the time I defended I was totally comfortable with dealing with questions that I didn't know the answer to. I guess I owe him a huge thanks!
How do you feel about saying "we" vs. "I"? For example, "One of the things we were interested in was the question of ..." vs. I.ReplyDelete
In my opinion, we/I doesn't matter much, as long as you consistently use one of them. As a student, I used "we", and I still do, both from force of habit and because none of my work is done by me alone.
great advice! I would say that you need to be a little careful with the "we" though. At some point you have to make it clear what YOUR LAB will be doing. If you always say "we" this can get a little confusing.ReplyDelete
Hmm...tried to post on this earlier, but it doesn't seem to have shown up!ReplyDelete
Anyway, I'm with Gerty on I vs we. I almost always say "we," but I was told that for the job talk, I should say "I." It's all about you, and what your ideas are, and what a great independent scientist you're going to be, etc. Saying "we" all the time can make you sound more like a cog in a machine, rather than a team leader.

when a 40/50-something prof introduces themselves as Will Smith (more common in my experience than just saying they are 'Will'), should you start calling them Will or stick to Prof. Smith?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comments!ReplyDelete
@Anon 12:03, if someone introduces themselves without a title, I would assume they mean to be called by first name. In the case of "Will Smith", I would use "Will". You are talking to someone who will hopefully be your colleague, and most colleagues are on a first name basis.
- AnonymousJanuary 7, 2012 at 7:21 PM
BUT, presumably, you don't want to address your cover letter to "Dear Will," no?ReplyDelete

Cinque Foundation Gives $1.5 Million Grant To Robert Packard Center For Als Research
To: The ALS Community
Date: November 7, 2007
Subject: Robert Packard Center ALS News Network
Grant seeds innovative drug discovery for ALS and other motor neuron diseases
Baltimore, MD - Nov. 7, 2007 - A $1.5 Million grant from the Cinque Foundation will enable scientists working at the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins to develop an innovative approach to drug discovery using human embryonic stem cells in their search for treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The funding gives new drug discovery for ALS and other motor neuron diseases its start, as part of the Packard Center's "ExCellerate" program, a special initiative dedicated to expediting the discovery of treatments for ALS and other motor neuron diseases.
ALS is a fatal disease, which strikes 5,000 Americans each year and is one of the world's most common neuromuscular diseases. Presently, treatment is limited to palliative care - there is no cure.
A team of scientists led by Packard Center Director Jeffrey Rothstein, M.D., has been preparing human stem cells as a basic tool to help reveal new therapies. They have devised a novel way to use the cells to screen thousands of drugs approved previously by the FDA for treatment of other diseases. Because FDA-approved drugs have already undergone extensive safety testing for clinical use, a candidate drug from among them, identified as "new use" by the FDA, can be expedited to clinical trial.
Rothstein's team will look at drugs that improve several activities disrupted in ALS, both in motor neurons and in nerve cells called astrocytes. Recent Packard Center research has shown that damage to astrocytes represents the bulk of motor neuron injury in ALS. The scientists will also look for drugs that inhibit ALS-related inflammation, another very important and toxic process in the disease.
The Cinque grant supports Hopkins scientists as they assemble the highest-tech system possible for screening drugs. Previously, Rothstein's team - in a wide but preliminary screening venture coordinated by the National Institutes of Health - identified ceftriaxone. The drug was then ushered, in record time, into clinical trials for ALS treatment.
That first effort tested the effects of single drugs on cell cultures or slices of spinal cord from a rat model of ALS. It might easily have missed a helpful synergy between two or more of the drugs.
The Cinque-funded ExCellerate project will advance screening technology significantly, making it possible to check multiple drugs for multiple behaviors. Rothstein and his ExCellerate team are designing a special matrix that maps ways to test millions of two-drug interactions. And since the concentration of an agent can make a huge difference in biological systems, the matrix will also include many different dilutions of the drugs in the pairings. ALS and spinal muscular atrophy are the chosen targets to test this innovative matrix for screening drugs.
"No one has done this before," says Rothstein, "and while we have chosen ALS as our first target for farming FDA-approved drugs, the matrix we create could become a very useful method to screen drugs for many other diseases. Our matrix should shave years off of the research time required to deliver drugs for clinical testing, delivering the benefits of medical research to patients sooner than has been the possible with conventional drug discovery."
To build this matrix and search for ALS drugs, Rothstein will collaborate with Johns Hopkins' new, state-of-the-art High-Throughput Biology Center. The HIT Center offers staff expert in developing drug assays and access to automated processes that increase screening capacity and efficiency. Some of the effort will also be subcontracted to experienced biotech companies, to hasten sharing of findings to major collaborators in the field.
Payment of the $1.5 million, three-year grant might be expedited as research milestones agreed upon by the Cinque Foundation and Rothstein are reached. The ExCellerate program operates on entrepreneurial standards with the belief that this approach will increase focus and hasten discovery.
About the Cinque Foundation. Established in 2007, the Cinque Foundation is dedicated to eliminating suffering and death caused by ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The Foundation funds medical research that contributes to the understanding of this complex disease, with a particular emphasis on expediting the translation of promising results to benefit ALS patients.
About the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research. Headquartered in Baltimore, the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins is a collaboration of scientists worldwide, who are working aggressively to develop new treatments and a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The Center is the only institution of its kind dedicated solely to the disease. Its research is meant to translate from the laboratory bench to the clinic in record time.

Some years ago I worked in a day hospital for people with severe, enduring mental illness. On Thursday afternoons I ran a drop-in support group. It was relaxed and informal, a place where people of all ages, races and backgrounds came to talk about their problems and share their experiences.
Some patients were employed, some worked as volunteers and others were so disabled by their illness that they were unable to work at all. Many of those who came had bipolar disorder.
One night a well-known television personality gave an interview on TV and talked about his diagnosis of bipolar disorder. The next day the support group assembled as usual, and before I'd even closed the door they began talking about it. I thought they'd approve, pleased that bipolar was being talked about in the mainstream media. On the contrary, they were furious.
One after another said how it gave a false impression of what it was like to live with the condition. No one in that room was a multi- millionaire living in a mansion with a chauffeur at the door, eating out regularly in fine restaurants, attending film premiers and rubbing shoulders with other A-listers. It wasn't that the group were jealous or envious. It was just that this particular celebrity seemed to have adopted the position of spokesman for bipolar disorder when his experience of it was, they felt, so far removed from theirs. As the discussion went on, we established that the group were concerned at the way some celebrities and the media portray mental illness. They believed it would lead to less understanding – not more.
I thought back to this when I read last week about Catherine Zeta-Jones, the latest in a line of high-profile men and women who have gone public about being treated for bipolar disorder. Last April, the 43-year-old actress was admitted to a private psychiatric hospital for a few days for treatment. She has now given an interview to an American magazine with the stated aim of helping to lift the ''stigma'' of mental illness.
This would seem like a good thing. It's true that the issues surrounding mental illness are routinely ignored by much of the press. They tend to make headlines only when a psychiatric patient kills someone. Society as a whole still demonises those with mental illness. They are a voiceless, disenfranchised group, misunderstood and feared. Yet, like my patients in the support group, I've come to believe that Miss Zeta-Jones & Co aren't actually helping the cause, though I am sure they have the best of intentions.
The problem is that they promote a warped view of the realities of psychiatric illness that differs greatly from the experiences of the majority of sufferers. For Miss Zeta-Jones, it would appear that a few days recuperating in a five-star private hospital was all that was required before resuming her gilded lifestyle. And while some have applauded her for her ''bravery'' in talking about living with bipolar, I struggle to see how her account relates to an illness that my patients would recognise.
She explains that, for example, at the height of her illness, she would Google her name to find negative comments about herself. I can assure you that for most people in the throes of a bipolar relapse, the symptoms are far more debilitating and serious than an obsession with internet searching.
A third of people with bipolar have attempted suicide, and the suicide rate is nearly 20 times higher than normal. It is classed as a severe, enduring mental illness, and for many of my patients, it dogs their lives. They take medication every day, they battle with the side effects of the drugs, and with the impact of their condition on their careers and personal lives. Can you imagine how a boss might react when told that someone needs weeks or even months to recover from a relapse, when it appeared to take Ms Zeta-Jones not much more than a long weekend?
Of course, as with many conditions, there is variety and variation. While certainly some people may be severely disabled by the condition, this isn't true for all. I know doctors, lawyers, and teachers who live with and manage their bipolar. I have personal experience, too, with family members and friends afflicted by it. People hold down jobs and maintain family life and relationships. But the problem is that the general public only ever hears about the celebrity ''mental-illness-lite'' version. For most people, their diagnosis is not some quirk to be dragged out when they have a book, TV programme or film to promote.
All too often, when celebrities decide to ''speak out'' on this subject, what is being promoted is the acceptable face of mental illness – the ''it's made me stronger'' narrative. Smile for the camera and move on. But where are the celebrities who are talking about schizophrenia? Or personality disorders? Where are the people willing to talk about the dark side of mental illness: the screeching paranoia, the constant, breathless agony of mania, the thudding weight of suicidal thoughts? There have been a few, such as Frank Bruno, and to me, they are the real heroes.
We should celebrate the fact that a diagnosis of mental illness does not preclude someone from being rich or famous or happy. But for every celebrity for whom mental illness seems to be little more than a gossamer-light inconvenience, there are plenty for whom it is a colossal, crushing burden from which they must struggle daily to emerge.
Figures released last week show that one in three hospitals has increased car parking charges for patients and visitors. Some tripled fees, with a handful now charging £3 an hour. This is clearly a tax on the sick, and a rank exploitation of the vulnerable. In much of devolved Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, NHS parking remains free. It is grossly unfair that those of us in England are increasingly seen by hospitals as cash cows. The whole point of the NHS – indeed one of its founding principles – was equality of access. This no longer appears to be the case.
Mayb I'm just a Luddite, but the announcement last week that the Government aims to give NHS patients access to their health records online fills me with dread. Given the abysmal track record of governments in recent decades at keeping our personal information secure, I'm wondering who else will be getting access to them, too.

Tell the Democratic Party to endorse the next big societal shift: marijuana legalization
Marriage equality has passed a tipping point, as it is backed by strong majorities of the public and virtually every Democratic politician. Now, it's time for the Democratic Party to endorse another ongoing societal shift: marijuana legalization.
A decade ago, Americans opposed marijuana legalization by 2-1 margins. Now public opinion is not only evenly split, but is guaranteed to continue tilting toward legalization. This is because, as with marriage equality, overwhelming majorities of young Americans are in favor.
Marijuana decriminalization has already taken place in two states, but legalization needs to happen everywhere. It will reduce spending on the criminal justice system, lower out-of-control incarceration rates, raise revenues through taxation, and protect personal freedom.
Please sign our petition to the Democratic National Committee demanding the inclusion of federal marijuana legalization in their 2016 platform. The time has come.
In the interests of reducing spending on the criminal justice system, lowering out of control incarceration rates, raising revenues through taxation, and guaranteeing personal freedom, a strong majority of Democrats already support the legalization of marijuana.
In 2016, this must be reflected by a plank in the party platform calling for the legalization of marijuana nationwide.

Research and Analysis on the DPRK Leadership
(For Ri Yong Ho, Chief of the KPA General Staff, go here)
Ri Yong Ho is Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and DPRK representative to the Six Party Talks. He is also an alternate (candidate) member of the Korean Workers' Party Central Committee (CC KWP) and a 3rd generation DPRK elite. Ri is a protégé of Kang Sok Ju. For nearly 20 years has been one of the central diplomatic managers of the country's relations with the US, UN and the ROK.
Ri Yong Ho was born in 1954. He is the son of Ri Myong Je, a former KCNA editor who has served as a deputy director of Kim Jong Il's Personal Secretariat. Ri Yong Ho attended Namsan Senior Middle School and studied English at Pyongyang University of Foreign Language.
Ri began his career at the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs in 1978. From 1979 to 1984 he held the title of secretary at the DPRK's embassy in Zimbabwe. From 1985 to 1988 he held the same position at the DPRK's embassy in Sweden. Ri Yong Ho returned to Pyongyang in 1988. From 1988 to 1995 he was a manager of MOFA's International Organizations Bureau, eventually promoted to deputy director-general.
In 1995 Ri was promoted to councilor at MOFA. He began participating in the DPRK's negotiations with the US over its nuclear programs. He accompanied NDC 1st Vice Chairman, Jo Myong Rok, on a 2000 trip to the United States. In the 2000s Ri would hold several ambassadorial titles, including representing the DPRK in western Europe. Ri returned to Pyongyang to become a general diplomatic counsel, including some responsibility for the 6 Party Talks.
Ri Yong Ho accompanied DPRK Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun on his trip through Asia, including to the ASEAN forum in Hanoi, in July 2010. Ri was appointed Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs 23 September 2010, replacing Kim Kye Kwan who was promoted to Senior Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.

To Visit Pumwani Maternity Hospital
I am a mother. I know the joys, thrills, triumphs and even the tears of a mother. If you think you have seen it all, talk to a mother. Her journey is never complete, and is never the same for different children. I love spending time interacting with other moms because the stories I get to gather makes me realise that we all seem to take an almost similar journey, variations being near impossible to point out.
A few weeks ago, my journey in search of new stories and experiences led me to Pumwani Maternity Hospital. Circumstances that played out leading me here are quite interesting, but that is a story for another day. I don't know what I expected, especially considering the tales I had heard from the rumor mills. All I can say is I was pleasantly surprised. Right from the gate, I was greeted by very cheerful guards. I didn't know where I was going or why I was there. I just knew I was meant to be there at that particular time.
My first stop was at the Assistant Matron's Office. Very pleasant woman, who took time to talk to me even though I did not have an appointment. I did talk to various other officials, including the Hospital Superintendent's Assistant and The Hospital Secretary. All of whom were very helpful. The common theme that seemed to keep occurring to me is that moms in this hospital require our help. Most moms coming here are destitute. This means that sometimes they will not be able to pay their bills, and the hospital will have no choice but to waive these costs. Others do not have the necessary items required by new moms and it becomes very difficult for them as they start their journey to motherhood.
You can imagine how heart broken I was by the stories I got to gather. I left the hospital, promising to do something, no matter how small, as an attempt to alleviate the suffering of these moms. I spoke to a few of my mom friends, and they too were touched by the story, and we decided we should pay a visit to these moms, and perhaps bring along some items that they may need, including Pampers, Nappies, Sanitary Towels and Baby Clothes.
The Kenyan Mom and friends will therefore be officially visiting moms at Pumwani Maternity Hospital on 12th December 2012 from 10:00am. We will take a few items to them and also see if we can get friends to help us clear hospital bills, for destitute moms.
I am still looking for company, together with donations where possible. I would love to hear from you. If you would like to contribute in any way or be part of the visiting group, please let me know on the comments section or at firstname.lastname@example.com or donate through the MPesa Buy Goods Menu, Till Number 89846
What would the world be if we do not take time to help one another?

The Celtic Fake Book - C Edition. (C Edition). By Various. For voice and C instrument. Hal Leonard Fake Books. Celtic. Difficulty: easy-medium. Fakebook (leadsheet notation). Vocal melody, lyrics, leadsheet notation and chord names. 256 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.240153). ISBN 0634017276. With vocal melody, lyrics, leadsheet notation and chord names. Celtic. 9x12 inches. The popularity of Celtic music has soared over the last decade due to the resurgence of folk instruments, Celtic dancing, and Irish culture overall. This amazing collection assembles over 400 songs from Ireland, Scotland and Wales - complete with Gaelic lyrics where applicable - and a pronunciation guide. Titles include: Across the Western Ocean * Along with My Love I'll Go * Altar Isle O' the Sea * Auld Lang Syne * Avondale * The Band Played On * Barbara Allen * Blessing of the Road * The Blue Bells of Scotland * The Bonniest Lass * A Bunch of Thyme * The Chanty That Beguiled the Witch * Columbus Was an Irishman * Danny Boy * Duffy's Blunders * Erin! Oh Erin! * Father Murphy * Finnegan's Wake * The Galway Piper * The Girl I Left Behind Me * Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly * I Know Where I'm Goin' * Irish Rover * Loch Lomond * Molly Malone * My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean * My Wild Irish Rose * The Shores of Amerikay * The Sons of Liberty * That's an Irish Lullaby * When Irish Eyes Are Smiling * Who Threw the Overalls in Mistress Murphy's Chowder * and hundreds more. Also includes many Irish popular songs as a bonus. About Hal Leonard Fake Books A "fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by yourself or with an ensemble. Each song in a fake book only has a single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play - for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm", rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they appeared in the original version of the song. This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.

The United Way of Pueblo has teamed up with ENT Credit Union to supply kids in school districts 60 and 70 with much needed supplies.
Some 200 kids will receive a box of supplies called a "kit for kidz." Inside, everything from pencils, to glue, to paper and more; everything the child will need to start their year out right. The initiative comes after years of watching the need for such materials increase with the number of families in need in the districts. In 2009 district 60 had 24 schools with 70 percent of their students qualifying for free or reduced lunches. It's clear many families in Pueblo are struggling to make ends meet.
The kits will be handed out to children selected by the school district. They will also receive a book and new backpack to go along with the supplies. Angel Fuentes, a fourth grader at Irving Elementary was one of the selected children. She's the eldest of three children that her stay-at-home single mother cares for. Angel's mother Brenda says, the eleven-year-old loves school, and was excited to see the new bag and supplies.
Brenda wants nothing more than her three children to get a good education and grow up to be good people. However, she says just getting by is frustrating. She would like to go to college and start a career in nursing, but it's difficult with three small children. Her number one priority is making sure they have food on the table, but that pushed school supplies down the priority list. "I didn't have the money and I got a little bit of them, but I couldn't get all of it," says Fuentes.
About a week into the school year, Angel's locker was barren, while her classmate's lockers were full with supplies. But that's all changed now, and anyone passing by the lockers today wouldn't know just by looking at them her situation outside of school was any different than the other locker owners.

WarmingWorks Sells Land That Will Become Beachfront Property by 2050
Posted By Ariel Schwartz On April 1, 2013 @ 11:45 am In April Fools,Environment,global warming,News | 1 Comment
Jealous of your neighbor's beachfront vacation home [1] but don't want to shell out the big bucks to buy one of your own? Don't worry — a company called WarmingWorks wants to help. This innovative startup is scouting locations around the world that will be affected by creeping climate change over the next few years. But WarmingWorks doesn't want to help solve the climate crisis — it is buying up properties at dirt-cheap prices that will one day become coastal as global warming [2] causes sea levels to rise.
That's right — you can just laugh off anyone who brags about their home in St. Bart's, because decades from now their property will be submerged while yours will be sitting pretty by the beach. The best part: buying a WarmingWorks property ensures that your kids and grandkids will have access to the beach house. Because wouldn't it be sad if global warming took away your family's assets?
"At this point, we don't have too much confidence in the power of governments to stop sea level rises, " explained WarmingWorks CEO Joe Fishman. "We're not happy about it, but we're still going to take advantage. There's plenty of money to be made here."
Interested in checking out some of WarmingWorks' properties? Let us know in the comments.

Mount St. Mary's enjoying the view from the top
Saturday's 16-10 victory over host Quinnipiac vaulted Mount St. Mary's to the top of the Northeast Conference, and the Mountaineers (6-5 overall and 3-0 in the conference) are enjoying sole possession of first place in the league.
"It's a great, great feeling," coach Tom Gravante said Monday. "I know that outside of the program, the alumni and parents are very, very happy, but again, the pressure is still on to maintain our status, to stay focused and stay humble."
The Bobcats had entered Saturday's contest with an unblemished 2-0 record in the Northeast Conference, but Mount St. Mary's scored the first five goals en route to a 10-2 advantage at halftime.
Quinnipiac opened the second half on a 4-1 run, but the Mountaineers maintained a large enough lead to win comfortably. Still, Gravante said he would have preferred that the team maintain its dominance without the third-quarter hiccup.
"It was great to smash them as we did," Gravante said. "But as a coach, I was worried that we wouldn't keep that momentum, that we would sit back and say. 'This is a piece of cake.' And we kind of did. We lost a little bit of our mojo. … We lost that sense of urgency, that killer instinct. It happens, unfortunately, often. … It's a tough thing for coaches to implement and keep with their kids, that killer instinct to not give up. 10-2 was great, but I was thinking, 'Boy, I hope we haven't peaked too early.' It kind of happened. The momentum kind of changed hands in the third quarter, but we got the momentum back and stayed toe-to-toe with them. But you could tell that Quinnipiac was on the move. They were angry, they were playing with more confidence, and we really just needed to match feet with them and put them away."
Mount St. Mary's has two games remaining against conference foes Wagner at home on Saturday and Bryant in Rhode Island on April 30. The goal is to sweep those contests and serve as hosts for the Northeast Conference tournament on May 6 and 8.
"That would seal the deal and bring us one step closer to hosting the tournament," Gravante said of defeating Wagner. "I think the pressure is off of making the tournament, but I think it's on for hosting the tournament. And I think the kids really like that. They want to play at home, and that comes with a price, which we will continue to drive home. It's all about how focused we are, especially on that practice field."

A poster has been making the rounds in Tripoli's social media (click image above for full poster), blaming the citizens of Tripoli for electing worthless representatives. "You voted for them", the pointed finger admonishes the reader over a dramatic background of splattered blood and portraits of sinister-looking Tripoli MPs "…You're the one to blame".
That's a good point. But the poster is also right in a way it didn't intend: the latest events in Tripoli are not only a failure of the political class, but also a failure of civil society and the citizens of Tripoli.
Will you get done with it already?
There are two sides in this battle. On one hand you have the Alawis in Jabal Mohsen who are a minority but who are well armed and well entrenched on a hill overlooking the city. On the other hand, you have ragtag Jihadi Sunnis in Tebbaneh who want to teach the Alawis a lesson as a payback for what their sponsor, Assad, has been doing to his people in Syria.
The common complaint on Twitter and on Facebook is that politicians are not doing their work to stop the violence. Another culprit is the media for ignoring what's happening in the capital of the north, and a particularly popular soundbite is that Lebanon has forgotten about Tripoli and is behaving as if the city doesn't exist.
But dig deeper into the attitudes of the city's citizens and you find that many are secretly rooting for one side to win.
The Sunnis are hoping that the Jihadis (conveniently forgetting that they're outlaw gunmen) will "liberate" Jabal Mohsen from Assad's claws. Many are angry because they are feeling like sitting ducks to the missiles falling in on their city from the hill, and angry because it doesn't feel right that a minority can terrorise the city's majority in this way.
The Alawis on the other hand believe that they're fighting an existential battle, a battle that if they lose they will be massacred or expelled from the city. This is why their supporters are secretly hoping that their missiles will prove painful enough for Tripoli to establish permanent deterrence and get the Jihadis off their backs
What people who really want peace do
Here's what we didn't see yet in Tripoli: We didn't see mothers from both sides forming chains at the demarcation lines and setting up tents in protest against the insanity and vowing to stay there until the shooting stops. We didn't see large rallies where sunnis and Alawis declared together that they're brothers and they don't want to take any part of this.
The sad truth is that Tripoli is a divided city. One that is filled with suspicion, anger and hate. We blame the politicians for the war, but it is ultimately our fault.

Dear SHELTER,
I just wanted to let you know that I just finished reading Mark Reasbeck's article, "Guaranteed for Life ... and Beyond" (see June SHELTER, page 8). What an excellent article! It should be required reading for all new employees in customer service and for field technicians before they ever go on their first service call.
As office manager here at Heritage—and having been involved in the customer service end of the window business for more than 30 years—I run into the issues that you address on a daily basis.
Perhaps we should even include a copy of your article with our "Window and Door Operation/Maintenance Guide," which we give to all homeowners as they occupy their new homes.
Thank you for expressing so clearly something which we in the window business have to deal with on a daily basis. I will make sure that everyone on my staff who deals with customers and warranty issues gets to read this article.

Thanks for a Good Laugh
Dear SHELTER,
I work in service and warranty for a window company in Minnesota. I recently read Mark Reasbeck's article entitled "Guaranteed for Life .... and Beyond" and I have to tell you, my co-worker and I just about split a gut laughing. We could have quoted you verbatim on what homeowners and contractors say about "warranted items." It was great reading, and we just wanted to let you know.

Our Transgender Daughter Is Just Another Girl: Tell Her School to Stop Discriminating
We are Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis, the parents of five children in Fountain, Colorado. One of our daughters, Coy, is six years old and in first grade. Just before Christmas, Coy's school told us that after winter break, they would no longer allow her to use the girls' bathroom, because she is transgender.
They gave Coy three options for where to go to the bathroom; the boys' room, the staff bathroom with adults, or the nurse's bathroom which is used by sick children.
Coy is not sick, she is not an adult, and she is not a boy.
Coy is a girl. She wears girls' clothes, is addressed by everyone at the school using female pronouns, and has been accepted by her classmates and teachers as a girl. But if the school separates her from all her classmates to use the bathroom, they are singling her out for mistreatment, and teaching her classmates that it's okay to discriminate.
We want our daughter to have the same educational opportunities as every other Colorado student.
We have filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division asking the school to treat Coy like any other girl, because that's been the law in Colorado since 2007, when the state banned discrimination based on gender identity.
But we want our children's school to treat our daughter equally because it's the right thing to do, not because the law forces them to.
Please tell officials at Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 that teaching children to discriminate is wrong.
p.s. You can also watch a video about Coy's case here. If you're on an iPad or similar device and don't have flash player installed, you can watch a shorter, non-flash version on YouTube.
