This story just came out from one of the finalist for the trip - the guy is getting divorced so he can go to Mars!
There are many reasons that we leave adults in charge of children and we don't let a 5 year old kid be in charge of watching a bunch of younger kids. The main reason - kids make really dumb choices. What is the worst idea you had as a kid?

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by cchildre (211)
I can not knock anyone for using Photoshop to enhance a photo. I usually limit my changes to color, contrast, and crop. You could have totally gotten away with blurring the background if you would have left the rock alone. The best photoshop work goes totally unnoticed. That said, wonderful looking shot with intense color. Nice work.
DOF use it when you need it, has been a little overdone lately. For me this photo has excellent qualities. First awesome perspective, I love the way you captured the hand and the shoe. Great line this photo flows well and leads the eye very well from the hand down the arm to his head, shoe, rock, shadow...nice. It would have worked wonderfully as a B&W with such great contrast. I get a little distracted by the greenery on the right. You should have cut down all those bushes before you took the shot LOL! Great Shot
Pogues Cave is the Route. The Tower area is the best site I have been to. All the routes are very well designed and very challenging. Most area's 2 and some 3 star routes would be a one star here. Scott here is at the crux on the 4th bolt, which is moving over the lip. Past that it is pretty much a cruiser, he was just too pumped to get established past the lip.
Perhaps this pilar is only 4 foot and this shot just looks exposed. If it were shopped then I would have to say that they did the best staging, lighting, and alterations I have seen. JFYI if one were going to stage a shot like has been accused here wouldn't you want to be on something way cooler like an Arch in Utah or something. Nice Shot!
YOU TOTALLY PHOTOSHOPPED THAT! LMFAO, I saw that no one made the accusation just yet so it had to start somewhere :) It sort of looks shopped with the shadows falling in an unusual manner but it obvisouly was not. I see how the shadow on the right was generated but the left side has me scratching my head. What sort of formation created that shadow? But seriously now, incredible shot. I love the line this photo creates to really focus on the subject, a truly sweet picture!
Rating under nine? The composition is a little off, moving the subject down and to the left to display more of the celing and less of the floor would improve this photo. It is also a little washed out since that is not snow on the ground judging from the climbers attire. I know the limitations here and getting a great shot with this sort of lighting is incredibly difficult. All aside, great shot with a super strong looking move, excellent action.
Simple shot that were it not for the climbers, would lack any perspective. Your shot really conveys the size and the angle of the climb. Would have been awesome if the face could have more light but getting that sun moved is a little difficult. I also love that you can clearly see where the snow face fractured and broke away. Nice work.
Now this picture really speaks to me. Such good focus on the subject, the expression is so good I can almost hear the grunting, the line of the rock flows so well across the shot to the climbers hand -arms - shoulder line looks sweet. The ripped climber is quite a sight. I think most of us climbing aspire to achieve physical results like Cam has. You should be shootin for one of the rags.
Can't anyone make a funny off color comment anymore without getting reamed for being insensitive! This is a climbing site, if we were sensitive then we would be over at the metrosexual site! Warning - comments made on this site may offend some groups. Very nice pic by the way. I thought Zack Thomas was a lot bigger than that and played for Miami? Go Zack that new diet must really be paying off!
Great shot, very original concept. I like the absence of humanity aside from the hands and feet. Criticizm - the sky looks very unnatural. It is oversaturated when compared to the rest of the photo and it would look more natural if you had used the linear gradient instead of the radial one. Just an observation though.
Photoshopped??? Looks sort of fake...why it looks so but not....You have a close shot of the climber basking in strong sunlight with fabulous color and contrast, the background is a distant valley plagued, but only slightly, by excessive haze, look further up the valley and it gets worse the greater the distance. This same effect give the appearance that the climber was cut and inserted into ths shot in post production. Had this been shot on a dry hot day it would not look fabricated. Also the rock at his left foot looks out of place since it's the only orangish-yellow one in the shot. Inclusion of more of the rock to the right might make it look more authentic but would kill the composition. Hidden rope always gets a cry of shopping it. I dream of shooting a shot like this. Incredible work, awesome shot, Jörg's the man!
Great photo with good composition, IMO a little too centered, but that's neither here nor there. What I think is the greatest attribute to the photo is the climbers pose. Rotate the picture 90 clockwise and he looks like a panther eyeing his prey, waiting to strike! No words needed, this picture speaks for itself. Awesome work!
The 3 guy is just jealous. Nice shot, excellent comp but I agree with mr8615 about the depth of field issue. Not sure it that would fix it but it would improve the focus on the subject. Some shooting locations have limits and the talus in the background draws away too much. A higher shooting position might have been a good solution, but could have killed the depth. No more of my observations. I love the great use of contrast here, I like all the shadows on the rock by the climber. I can shop this up so he appears in the high hills of tibet if you like...LOL.
First, best shot of actual rock climbing that I would rate a 10, flawless. Second, LOL that Kalcario call photoshop, stupidboulderer acts shocked, and Kalcario was fully justified. Background was blurred slightly, and it is a tad noticable when you consider the depth of field working here, because his photoshop work couldn't be better. The blurring signals your eye that the ground appears to be much further away than it actually is because of the clear focus on his hand and face, the leaves and crash pad just look improperly scaled, that is being overly critical here. I just wanted to point out what tricks this photo plays on the eye. I also love the subjects expression and the fact that he is wearing jeans and a belt, right on!
The color almost give me a case Steinholm Syndrome! The blue sky, shirt, black pants, red bag, blonde hair, and the orangeish-pink of the rock all work to yeild a most impressive shot. Your blonde hair contrasted by the blue sky..... I am speechless! You even were able to avoid the abysimal butt shot that everyone seems to take, although in M_S's case that wouldn't be bad ;) .
Waking Life LMFAO...Ever see Slacker, filmed in Austin Texas by the same fellow. If you haven't go see it, it is the exact same movie just live action and a slightly altered storyline. I consider Waking Life to be intelectual masturbation with no money shot, they touch on so many good ideas but jump from subject to subject it gets frustrating. I guess you just gotta be baked!
Sweet, the Christmas Draws! My partner has those as his first ever set and we love them. But then again I love all the gear except when it fails! Nice shot, and my advise would be to give your subject a little border of space all around the edge to get a better composition. Great color though, looks like a spankin new rack, my gear looks beaten after two trips.
I love women like this...she has such well developed muscle definition but hasn't overdone it to the point of looking mannish. I just love those arms, so nice. Route looks nice as well. Great shot and I vote keep the rope, it is so far to the side that I had to look for it. If you were to change anything to it perhaps a supression of the red in that corner to soften it would keep it from drawing the eye off the photo. JM2cents
I need to up my committiment if I am to ever get the opportuinity to get a shot like this. Getting up that early in the am is not my best time, but that is when you might get this sort of result. Fantastic shot, I wonder how much better it was to wee in person, as the picture is awe inspiring, it can almost never fully capture seeing the moment first hand.
Knowing the faux IR is there what makes it look so surreal is this shot is obviously illuminated by the sun, from the shadows, and then the sky looks overcast and doom ridden, causing the viewer to think overcast to cloudy. Just being overly critical, in short, awesome shot and great work with the shop. I contend the best PS work is the hardest to notice and most shots are usually overworked in most cases. Nice work here.
That is SICK! 13b? Arrrhhh! Strong woman is right! The fact that she is reaching towards the camera makes her arm look astonshingly sizeable for a shelia. Her forearms are sweet as well. A fill strobe down by her feet would have been a nice addition to an incredible shot. Awesome work from the shooter and subject alike!
Allright, lets settle down and discuss logically. Perhapsh a nice tasty route runs up the arete that is obviously next to this route. The bolts could be to protect that line were you limited to the working the face and arete. Or even less likely, the crack looks tasty here but if below and/or above the crack totally closes and is unprotectable. Or it was just sport climbers on CRACK! I agree leaving the cracks to the trad guys, sportos have plenty of faces to bolt that trad guys can't touch. One mans opinon.
Cool shot and awesome to see this guy climbing, and leading to say no more. Swinging Low.
A fall with more slack leaves the climber hanging 10 feet down and 10 feet off the wall so swinging back to the wall is very difficult and nearly impossible. Reguardless in this case there is enough rope out that it's weight is creating most of the tension. I guess I fail to see how a heavy belay would knock grades off unless it were TR.
It has been graded at 12c by the Midland crew, but a few think it is more of a 12d. Drew said he would give it a 12c, maybe a 12c/d. It was an awesome send, he was even color cordinated for the occasion, Gentleman's Monthly will be calling soon bro. To the slack issue...this route overhangs so dramatically that falls will often force a ground up restart, this point especially. So kepping the floss tight is a desirable thing.
Nice! I did not read the caption before I thought, "Where is the Rope?" followed quickly by "She's Soloing!" I am still looking for the flamers to go off about your irresponsibility by putting yourself in such danger! LOL Great climb TR, along with my usual comments about stylish and attractive appearance ;-) Love to see you including your sheep in your endavor.
Fill flash would be an improvement on an very nice shot. If you hate sport climbing, so be it, but stop with the ridicule already and just go climb. I haven't heard the sport'os railing against the trad guys for very much. Tradies seem to have a higher sense of importance that is way overblown in the climbing world. DGMW I love any sort of climbing, except when it involves the company ladder :-)
Good to see the bucket, your making it look good anyway! I look the fool in mine. Also, one should never be embarrased by struggling on a route, even if it is easy. Anyone who climbs harder has been in your shoes before and knows the struggle. Your keeping it out on the edge, that is what counts in my book.
Size 10 is not big for someone's feet!!!! JK. Nice Jorg (insert typical statement about how excellent your shots are). You photoshopped that guy in there...admit it....LMAO. I really wanted to compliment the shot you had in Climbing a few months back, it was cool to see your stuff in print and connect it back to RC.com.
First and foremost, nice shot! For my rant, from a safety standpoint you guys can endanger yourself however you see fit, but when it could impact others is where I take issue. Falling onto a bolt on a sport route from high above purposefully skipping a bolt places a lot of force onto that single bolt. Over time, sustaining multiple falls could cause premature failure of that bolt and cause a major accident. I can't really criticize, as I wasn't around during the all this fun and I have yet to sink my first bolt. I just wanted to raise some awareness that actions like these could have an impact in the future that might not be realized till years later. Looks fun, a great capture. Oh yeah, pose? I have to ask...how does one pose for a fall? I mean your falling, intentional or not, your still falling! A pose, at least for me, is staging events to appear to be doing something you did not or can not do. Unless he is hanging from a small psed out rope from above, guy is still committed to gravity!
LOL! Some of these comments! You could live in Lawton and never know the treasure that lies up in the Refuge by the looks of the backyard. OK having world class rock suprised me when I discovered it. I am thinking those commenting are in the dark like I was once. Anyhow, killer machine, I agree, just might be borrowing this idea soon. Is the angle adjustable as well? Seems like a possibility, but would add to the complexity.
You tilted this to make it look more over-hu.....err....oh...wait, this angle looks less than it truly is. Just BS'n, nice shot, great scene, excellent comp. You do shoot some nice ones. I miss the Boze area.
Edit: after further examination, I think the lens distortion is making it look tilted, coupled with the angle of the rocks on the right. Again: Great shot
So, I know everyone has been waiting to hear what I have to think! Sure? Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, educated or not, weather they have been to the crag or not. I lean toward the when their is a place for gear leave the bolts out. I think most of us probably agree here. That said, local conditions might dictate otherwise. I love the heated arguments though, wondering how soon it will turn to violence? If it will flalme things up, I am going to get out my hammer and nails and head over for some aiding action, YEAH!
I think the angle of the shot is what is making this problem look so much stouter than a V4. At first I thought it was a roof problem but closer look I realized that it wasn't as overhung as it looks. Not trying to overlook the excellent shot and climbing form that is on display here. It just took me a while to see it for what it is. Excellent shooting, lighting and comp.
FYI, blue tint usually means the white balance is off. Mostly because of the light on the rock to the left. Still great shot. Haven't been on this particular route but as with almost anything on the tower, they always look harder than they actually are due to the abundance of jugs. Crux being near the end has to be maddening.

6 flash alternatives you really ought to try
That pop-up flash on-top of your camera can come in very handy, but how about trying these flash alternatives that can help you produce more creative, atmospheric images? In this post, guest bloggers from Photoventure run down some of the best options.
1. Natural light
Natural light can seem in short supply when you're shooting indoors, but if you head towards the window you'll find that things improve dramatically. What's more, you can use a window like a large studio softbox.
On a sunny day in the northern hemisphere the best bet is to find a north-facing window (a south facing one in the Southern hemisphere) as this will give you nice, soft light without any hard highlights or dense shadows.
If you're shooting a portrait you can ask your subject to stand right in the window (or doorway) and get them to turn until the light works for you.
If you position a reflector opposite the window you can bounce light back onto the darker side of your subject.
Alternatively, try shooting from within the room looking towards your subject in the window and increase the exposure to blow-out the window light, but correctly exposure your subject for a high-key look.
SEE MORE: Flash photography tips: external flash techniques anyone can understand
2. Household lamps
You don't have to have expensive studio lights to illuminate still-life or portrait images indoors, you can use household lamps.
Anglepoise lamps work very well because you can usually manipulate them to shine light just where you want it.
You can also use tin foil or card around the lampshade to shape the light so that it falls exactly where you need it.
As with window light, you can use reflectors to bounce light back into the shadows.
One thing to bear in mind when using artificial light is that your camera's automatic white balance system may struggle to get the shot neutral.
You may find one of the lighting-specific white balance settings works well, but it's usually better to set a custom white balance value.
Your camera's manual will explain exactly how to do this, but it usually involves photographing a white or grey target (a sheet or card is fine) in the same light as your subject and then telling your camera to use this image to set the white balance.
In some cases, the white balance is set as you take the photograph provided you are in the correct mode.
SEE MORE: 77 photography techniques, tips and tricks for taking pictures of anything
3. Torch
You can use a torch in the same way as you would a household lamp, but because it's small and portable you can move it around your subject for all-round illumination.
You'll need a long exposure to allow yourself enough time to pass the light over the whole subject, so a low sensitivity setting is essential and the camera needs to be mounted on a tripod to keep it steady.
This technique is usually referred to as 'painting with light' and it's great fun as each attempt produces something different.
As with a household light, a custom white balance setting is the best option, but if you shoot in raw format you'll have the maximum level of control over the final colour of your images.
You don't have to limit yourself to shooting still life when you're painting with light, you can head outside at night and give a bigger subject a go.
You could even try using your car lights to add some light.

Today's Small-Cap Winners and Losers
(TWP) saw its shares surge after the Winchester, Va., company beat Wall Street's first-quarter earnings expectations. The company, a maker of composite decking and railing, said sales rose 17.1% from a year ago to $105.3 million. Earnings fell to $4.2 million, or 29 cents a share, from $8.4 million, or 56 cents a share, a year ago.Analysts polled by Thomson First Call were expecting the company to post earnings of 24 cents a share on revenue of $113.8 million. Trex also affirmed its previously announced guidance for the first six months of the year, which calls for net sales of $220 million to $230 million and earnings of 57 cents to 62 cents a share. For the first half of last year, the company had sales of $173 million and earnings of 50 cents a share. Shares of Trex were rising $3.31, or 12%, to $30.77 in recent trading. American Retirement (ACR), a Brentwood, Tenn., operator of senior-living communities, raised its 2006 guidance, lifting its shares Thursday. The company said it expects to earn 69 cents to 72 cents a share this year, after an estimated cost of 12 cents for share-based compensation. American had previously forecast 65 cents to 67 cents. American Retirement is scheduled to release its first-quarter results on May 4. Also, the company said it agreed to acquire the lessee's interest in a Denver community that American currently manages. Upon closing the purchase, the property will convert from a managed community to a leased community, and its operating results will be included in American's consolidated financial statements. Shares of American gained $1.80, or 7.7%, to $25.21 in recent trading. Gorman-Rupp's (GRC - Get Report) shares advanced after the Mansfield, Ohio, maker of fluid-control equipment said its first-quarter sales and earnings were much stronger than a year ago.Trex

No they are telling me Im gonna have to schedule a C/S! I said Hell No! The Hospital has changed protocal b/c apparently its too high risk to do Vbacs!
So I am guessing I am gonna have to switch to the base Naval Hospital, which I DO NOT want to deliver at!

"Callander and the Trossachs" Callander by ettiewyn
Callander Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 39 photos
Like several other towns, Callander is called "the gateway to the highlands", but maybe Callander deserves this title more than other places. It is located right at the Highland Boundary Fault, the mountains dividing the highlands from the lowlands. Walking up the main street, you constantly have a view of these high mountains - a fantastic backdrop to this pretty little town. And if that wasn't beautiful enough, Callander is also very close to the Trossachs, the "highlands in miniature" as they are called. Together with Loch Lomond, the Trossachs form Scotland's first national park, founded in 2002. It is a wonderful region of lochs and mountains, just so beautiful. This certainly was a highlight of my two months trip around the UK!
We might have been lucky that we visited in low season, it must be quite crowded here in high season. Similar to other places, the boom started when Queen Victoria visited, and the railway (which is closed today) was built afterwards. Sir Walter Scott also had his fair share in making Callander popular, through his novel Rob Roy which takes place in the Trossachs.
Callander was the second stop of a guided tour I did from Edinburgh, called "West Highland Lochs and Castles". If you would like to continue on the tour with me, visit the next stop, my Loch Awe page.
- Pros:A pretty town with a beautiful backdrop, and the stunning Trossachs closeby
- Cons:According to the guidebooks it is very crowded in high season
- In a nutshell:One of the best places I visited in Scotland so far!

Beautiful photos on your tips and travelogue! I had to look this place up on the map to see where it is.
Great that you found postcards with the lovely landscape of Trossach. I don't like the type of postcards with bagpipers and highland cattle either.
Looks like a lovely place to visit!

NEW YORK -- A determined Derek Jeter vowed to return to the field in 2013.
"No doubt," Jeter said at a news conference Thursday at Yankee Stadium, where he addressed his latest setback from a fractured ankle. "When you have doubt, that is when you have trouble."
Last week, Jeter was diagnosed with a small crack in his surgically repaired left ankle. He is currently wearing a walking boot to protect the ankle.
"I've been told this bone will heal," Jeter said. "When it heals, I'll be ready to go. It is frustrating that I can't magically make it heal sooner than it is taking. But there is no doubt. I have no doubt."
The Yankees have said they expect Jeter to return after the All-Star break. Jeter declined to put an exact date on when he expects to be back.
"I'm not getting into timelines. The last timeline I set, I didn't make," said Jeter, who seemed in very good spirits. "Whenever it heals, I'll be back."
Jeter, 38, originally fractured the ankle Oct. 13 while trying to field a ball in the 12th inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. A week later, he underwent surgery for what was described as a dislocated ankle.
Following the operation, the Yankees and Jeter said they thought he could be ready by Opening Day. Although he didn't start running until spring training had started, Jeter and the team hung on to the hope he would be ready by April 1.
Jeter appeared in spring training games but never played more than five innings and never in back-to-back games. Ultimately, two weeks into camp, he had to be shut down. When he finally returned to the field, the Yankees eventually cut back the amount of grounders he fielded to try to find the right formula for rehabbing the ankle.
Last week, with the ankle not improving, Jeter went to see Dr. Robert Anderson, who had performed the surgery. Anderson found the small crack in the bone but told Yankees general manager Brian Cashman "95 percent" of players return from such a condition.
"It has been a difficult process," Jeter said. "It's been a frustrating process. Just when you think you are close to coming back, you have a setback. I guess it is part of the healing process. When you get hurt, it is supposed to take time. It is supposed to take time when you break a bone. Unfortunately, it has taken more time than I anticipated."
Jeter said he didn't think he pushed the injury too hard, causing the setbacks. In 2012, Jeter led the majors with 216 hits. He is being replaced by Eduardo Nunez.
Nunez, who has been shaky on defense in his career, has performed well at short this season, making just two errors. At the plate, Nunez entered Thursday hitting just .184.
Jeter's 3,304 hits are 11th all time, 11 behind Eddie Collins. Jeter is making $17 million this season. He has a player option for $9.5 million for 2014.
Both Jeter and Yankees manager Joe Girardi expect the shortstop to be the same player when he returns.
"He hasn't done anything in his career to make me believe that he is not going to be a good player when he comes back," Girardi said. "I know it is nine months off, but players get four or five months off in the offseason, and they come back and they are fine. I don't think the extra few months are necessarily going to hurt him. I don't think he is going to forget how to hit or do all the things he needs to do."
Jeter said he hasn't regularly watched many Yankees games because he doesn't have the Extra Innings package and the games on the YES Network are blacked out in Tampa, Fla.
Jeter, who turns 39 in late June, said he has never had a shred of doubt that he will return throughout the process.
"Eventually it will heal, so I've never had any doubt," Jeter said.
When he does return, Jeter said he will not be offering constant updates about how his ankle feels. His all-time mantra is that either you are hurt or you are playing.
"I don't talk about injuries," Jeter said. "I think talking about injuries is just making an excuse for yourself. The only reason I'm talking about this today is because I'm not playing. So when I come back, I won't talk about it again because you are either good enough to play or you are not. If you are good enough to play, then no one wants to hear about excuses. Hopefully, I don't have to address this again. So when I start playing, please don't ask me about it."

Who's cuter: Baby panda or little lemur? You decide!
Pandas are often recognized for their cuteness. Their lumbering bodies can never seem to keep up with their insatiable curiosity, and it's just so darn adorable!
But lemurs don't seem to get enough credit, and little newborn Kapika just might give Fu Bao a run for his money. Just look at those tiny eyes. And her name means "peanut," for gosh sakes!
What do you think? Which critter is cuter?

From wheelchair to running shoes
March 16, 2010
By Suzanne Ovel
Story Highlights
- Wounded Warrior returns to duty after being confined to a wheelchair
When Spc. Shane Rose became injured after dislocating his femur, his loss of the ability to walk was soon shadowed by other losses, those of independence and his sense of self.
His journey since came with the especially difficult and painful task of becoming someone different - stronger of spirit and weaker of body - than he was before.
Before, Rose spent his time healing Soldiers as a medic in the Army. Healing others had been a lifetime passion; in fact, he joined the military to get into the medical field.
"I grew up in a lifestyle of poverty, and it's kind of a black hole... and it's kind of hard to escape that on your own," said Rose, who was raised in Springfield, Ore.
He enlisted in 2005, going first to Germany and then to Iraq, where he served with both the 1st Armored Division and with the Marines as a borrowed medic.
It was in Iraq that Rose injured his right femur, destroying the connective tissue that held it in place - most likely from the weight of nearly 150 pounds of gear along with the increased activity of serving with the Marines, he said.
His femur didn't slip out until after he returned to Germany, while he was simply walking.
"I took a step with my right leg, and I knew immediately something was horribly wrong. It felt like bone-on-bone," said Rose. "It was the worst (pain) I ever felt."
At an aid station, his femur was put back into its socket, and while he felt some pain, he managed fairly well for the next several months. Then in one week, in the last part of October 2007, his life changed abruptly as he went from walking to being wheelchair-bound.
"We found out later ... that the blood supply had been interrupted, but not a lot, and gradually the right sequence of events went into place and the tissue (connected to the femur) just died," said Rose.
It wasn't just his ability to walk that left him. Rose couldn't dress himself, or even go to the restroom without his wife helping him.
The Army transferred him to the Warrior Transition Battalion to be as close to his family as possible for their built-in support structure. There, he relied on his wife and the help of Spc. John Schroeder, a medic who served as Rose's caregiver.
Soon, the anger and frustration built, along with the questions of "Why me'" and "What did I do to deserve this'", and then, finally, blame.
"I would actually wheel around the hospital and try to pick a fight with people," Rose said. "The fact that I did that - me - that's not the type of person I am, but I did that."
Doctors spent months examining him, trying to find the best plan of care to treat his dislocated femur, which Rose said is an extremely rare injury.
In May 2008, Rose saw a civilian practitioner in Seattle- Dr. Phil Downer, an orthopedic specialist who was "the best of the best for all things hip." That led to two surgeries- one to remove dead tissue, and a second to replace it with artificial tissue.
"Within 72 hrs of my surgery, I could stand. I couldn't do it very well, but I could function," he said.
While he could stand, he couldn't walk - the surgery had also sewn his femur and hip together.
Enter physical therapy, every single day. In the first sessions, his therapist, Michael Hammond, would move his leg for him.
"He was mean enough to get the job done; I can't compliment him enough," said Rose. "The physical therapy was hard; it was rough; it hurt; it was miserable to go to. But, the results were rapid and apparent."
He systematically recovered, going from a wheelchair to crutches, to walking in a pool, using a cane, elliptical training, and finally, running.
"I'm still not fast, but I can run," Rose said. In fact, he passed his diagnostic physical fitness test in January, at his new unit with the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, Europe in Belgium, where he returned to duty in November 2009. He plans to take and pass his official test at the end of February.
He credits WTB Command Sgt. Maj. James Davis with encouraging him to stay in the Army; he was one of the first leaders to tell him, "Absolutely, we'll keep you."
He's received similar support with his current unit. Rose had to re-qualify to practice as a medic; he also got help from his unit with re-meeting physical standards and other military training. He plans to eventually apply to get into a physician's assistant program.
His advice to other injured Soldiers is to persevere. "I know how hard it is, I really do. If I had known how I feel now back then, it would have been easier... Getting from hell to being human again is a hard process. But it gets easier if you just keep on going. You can't quit."

Right, then left: Tripp's take on McIlroy's misses
Tripp Isenhour shares his thoughts on Rory McIlroy's swing issues when his game is off. Watch Golf Central 6PM ET.Let's look at a couple of his finishes last year on the PGA tour . His worst finish is on the PGA tour ! He finished 25th at the WGC Cadillac Well look at his right missed. 25% to the right, 18% to the left. Memorial, he finished 15th in that tournament. 25% to the right, 13% to the left and Barclays. Look at what he's doing this year on the PGA tour . Pretty Pretty much equal right and left. Not as much Rory McIlroy can eliminate that right hand side. And we've seen howHe shot a 61, which is his best score ever on the PGA TOUR , a 78 six days later, seven days later. The question is this. When you hear him afterwards, and he says this was inevitable I'm not that upset. I needed a weekend off. Was his mind ready to compete at Wentworth? I think it was. Absolutely, but he's in his fourth straight week of playing golf. And sometimes with all the things that go on for a world number one and all the distractions off the golf course it's very tough. for Roy Mackleroy. He's a ultimate competitor but I think this is something that we're going to have to understand. Roy Mackleroy is not going to be Tiger Woods consistent, he's not going to go four or five years without missing a cut. He's going to miss some cuts. See Phil Mickelson . But when he's on he can be extremely dominant like Tiger Woods , lacking that little bit of consistency. He's 26 years old, he's going to get this stuff right. Don't worry about Rory McIlroy

Great for those on Paleo Diet!
Posted by 4830781929197446940 on Nov 24, 2014
Im on a Paleo Diet and this is a staple in my kitchen. I use it in place of Soy Sauce. It's not as salty as soy sauce though, so you may need to use more of it.
I love this stuff
Posted by lesliekhnp on Nov 24, 2014
Very versatile stuff. I use it on fresh veggies as a kind of dressing (raw beet & kale), or in stir-fry, or as a soy sauce substitute. I like it better than soy sauce.
Posted by Reviewer1717081 on Nov 13, 2014
Tastes a little sweet but is a lovely flavour
Who needs soy sauce?!
Posted by PaleoNetwork on Nov 03, 2014
Love love love coconut aminos. I use this in place of soy sauce to paleo-fy my cooking. Great taste and flavour and 100% paleo!
Posted by 4980905591331635645 on Nov 03, 2014
Absolutely love this I add coconut oil and mince with this, so delicious and nutritious at the same time. will order more
New "secret" ingredient
Posted by 5084878038975483720 on Oct 29, 2014
YUMMY...what more can I say..!!..
Very good replacement for soy sauce
Posted by 5577516345303170440 on Oct 15, 2014
We got this sauce to replace soy sauce for our allergic 5-y.o. son. It's now been used in a wide variety of ways: In marinades for chicken & fish, Chinese type stir-fry cooking, baking, and on top of white rice. In every way, it's just as good as high-quality soy sauce. I also like that it has only a third of the sodium content of standard soy sauce (it's actually 30% less than low-sodium soy sauce); that's an advantage not only health-wise but taste-wise, as I find normal soy sauce to be much saltier than I'd like. The only disadvantage is that's it's not available in larger, cheaper-by-volume containers.
Posted by 5548160425304968228 on Oct 14, 2014
Sweet alternative for paleo folks rather than soy sauce. Almost like a mild hoisin flavour.
Posted by 5539024468763114048 on Oct 12, 2014
La recomiendo encarecidamente sobre todo para aquellos que hagan deporte por su aporte en sales minerales; suelo usarla en ensaladas y me encanta.
This is not just a substitute!
Posted by 5515647491591688511 on Oct 06, 2014
I came across this as a substitute for soya sauce. Rapidly realised this is not just a substitute. It adds a depth of flavour that can bring stirfrys and even salads to life. Highly recommend

Alinghi should win, but underdog Emirates could pull off the upset
Updated: June 21, 2007, 12:52 PM ETBy Gary Jobson | Special to ESPN.com
The most exciting moment in the sport of sailing is the first race of the America's Cup. The anticipation is high, the sailors are nervous and the syndicate sponsors are anxious. The stakes are significant because the winner of this regatta takes the America's Cup trophy and the regatta to its home waters. Based on what we have seen in Valencia, Spain, this 156-year-old competition is now the "Billion-Dollar Cup."
The biggest question is always who will win?
Emirates Team New Zealand ...

Living with Terror: The Reflections of an Israeli Student
Oz, Libi, Contemporary Review
A NORMAL day in my life begins when I open my eyes and rush to see the morning newspaper. I anxiously check the headlines to see if f recognize anyone in the pictures of the previous day's terror victims. As I ride the bus to my university in Tel Aviv, I observe my fellow passengers for anyone suspicious. Upon arrival at the university, I pass through the well-guarded gate, and am invariably asked to open my bag. En route to class, I look for my friends. I can't help but wonder whether anyone was called into the army reserve during the night.
When we leave the library at the end of the day, my friends and I have a hard time deciding whether or not we should go out. We are constantly trying to come up with ideas of places to go where there are no crowds. We'll often decide that it is not worth risking our lives to go wandering around at the nearby mall. Like many other Israelis, I would rather spend the evening at home than risk going to a bar, club or restaurant.
While these small daily sacrifices may sound trivial in comparison with the situation presented by the media, I can't imagine that there are many readers who would want to live this lifestyle. To be denied the freedom of walking down the street without fear is a price that no civilian should have to pay. Taking one's little brother to a movie or one's grandmother to a supermarket, potentially exposes all concerned to a suicide bomber. Our routine includes sitting in traffic because the road was blocked when a suspicious bag was found at a bus stop. Family members frequently call one another just to make sure they have reached their destination safely.
This year Independence Day was one of the days that strongly expressed the mood here. On the one hand, you could see flags hanging out of cars, houses and stores all over the country. The demand for flags this year was double that of last year. On the other hand, not many people went out into the streets to celebrate. The fear of being in crowded places took over this time. I, personally, preferred going to a private, well secured party rather than worrying my mom by going to the usual, mass outdoor celebrations. The Palestinian terrorists, even if they didn't actually succeed in committing an act of terror by planting a bomb or having a suicide bomber blow himself up in a crowded area, did wreck our celebrations. Compared to previous years, this was a sad Independence Day.
Political Views
Israelis want a return to normality. The legitimacy of the Palestinian cause does not justify terror. Nothing justifies terror. Israelis are enraged. I believe that it was this rage that impelled the government to resort to military actions. I am sure that Palestinians are enraged too. The difference is that we are reacting in a controlled manner, focusing on targets that propagate terror. The Palestinians are reacting with terror. They are killing for the sake of killing; we are killing in order to stop recent killing.
Many young people have changed their political views because of this relatively new situation. The shift is astounding. Israelis who two years ago were left-wing activists are now heard to say that they no longer believe that there are moderate voices on the other side who genuinely seek a permanent, peaceful resolution to the conflict. The same soldiers and students who eight years ago, after Prime Minister Rabin's assassination, were nicknamed 'the candle children' and were known for their anti-war views, are now in a fever of tit for tat actions. The final goal, and that's what most people believe, is indeed peace, one way or the other. The opinions concerning the way to achieve that peace are divided into more or less two main groups (excluding radical points of view). One group says that we should continue to fight until the other side understands that it will achieve nothing by terrorism and will then go back to the negotiating table. …

I am going to see those eyes in my nightmares...
No sooner had I gotten my breaking news posted about the Top Chef roadshow coming to Seattle, than apparent Top Chef fanatic Zibby popped up to remind me about one of the great, all-time Top Chef crazies: Marcel Vigneron (pictured right there in all his creepy, coiffed glory).
I am going to see those eyes in my nightmares...
Zibby wrote:
All they really need, if we're really talking crazy here, is Marcel and his hair.
Simple, direct, to the point. And, of course, completely correct. I would totally go and kill an afternoon waiting to get inside the Top Chef Mobil Command Center if Bravo could promise me that Marcel (and Marcel alone) would be the one cooking for me--making cheese noodles, compressed fish, and foams out of teddy bear fluff. Marcel (the first of the chef-testants to bring molecular gastronomy to the bewildered masses way back in season 2) was actually the reason I got into watching Top Chef in the first place. I saw him on TV for about thirty seconds while at my brother-in-law's house back in Philadelphia, was curious enough to ask Steve what he was watching, and then ended up sitting through four or five old episodes off his Tivo, watched back to back to back.
Sadly, though, I don't think Marcel is going to be tagging along on this year's Top Chef tour, either. Much as it might disappoint Zibby (and me, now that I think about it), Eater LA reported yesterday that Marcel has some other plans in the offing.
Apparently, Marcel has not only picked up a new chef's gig as the big dog at the Beverly Hilton Hotel's Bar210 and Push, but he's also got a new food reality show in the works called Marcel's Quantum Kitchen. And because this is Marcel we're talking about, the new show is scheduled to be on...the SyFy channel, of course.
Weird? Absolutely. But if there was ever going to be a cooking show that appealed to the kind of straight-up geeks who made a hit out of a movie like Syfy's Dinoshark (the story of what happens when the unborn egg of a Dinoshark that has been frozen in a glacier for millions of years is suddenly released by global warming), it's going to be a cooking show starring Marcel Vigneron which shows him creating avant garde cuisine for a goth fashion show and a Renaissance Faire-themed graduation party.
Yeah, I can tell what you're thinking: Totally effing awesome, right?
And even though it likely means missing him on the Top Chef tour, I think Zibby and me would absolutely agree.

A Beautiful Way to Create a Family
The joy of motherhood
The joy of motherhood
"Many have felt called to adopt, as my husband and I did," writes de Blecourt. "We discussed it as an engaged couple, as a someday possibility. We dreamed about it for a few years before it became a reality. Our adoption journey was not to be an easy one, however. Looking back, there are a few areas worth noting to prospective parents regarding international adoption." For example: "When entering another country, remember the compassion that brought you there. It can be hard to adjust to the sights, sounds and smells of a new country. Make it a priority to hold onto your compassion with all you come into contact with. To this day I regret I didn't do a better job of this myself. It is an important element to continuing good relations with countries we adopt from."

We're excited and proud to launch Thingiverse Apps. Learn More about what this means to you.
After looking at the some pricey name brand rotary tool accessories, at the hardware store... I asked myself, what am I doing!? I have an awesome bot that can make these, so I got to designing and here they are.
Circle cutter attachment- Cut large circles that would normally require careful jigsawing or just use it to for doing more controlled cuts. Use a general purpose cutting bit.
Sharpener attachment- Sharpen anything that needs to be sharpened.
Groove/cutting guide- Cut grooves or guide cuts along flats.
*Still working on testing and printing these all out, but in theory it should work.
***2/19/11 Updated circle cutter to rev.1 It Should be able to use bits that are shorter and it's a little less plastic and the file is way smaller.
You can modify the existing cutter if you printed it by cutting off the top right before the screw holes then drill the hole straight though to get rid of the counterbore.
Circle cutter attachment- You'll need an m4 screw & nut, a 624 bearing a M8 rod and four M8 nuts to assemble. For smaller circles use the slot and a screw. Drill a hole in whatever you want to cut put the screw in tighten down with the nut.
This extension connects Thingiverse with Makeprintable, a cloud-based mesh repair service that analyzes, validates and repairs most common mesh errors that can occur when preparing a 3D design file...App Info Launch App
Kiri:Moto is an integrated cloud-based slicer and tool-path generator for 3D Printing, CAM / CNC and Laser cutting. *** 3D printing mode provides model slicing and GCode output using built-in...App Info Launch App
Please Login to Comment
The wikicadmodels link doesn't seem to work. The circle cutter seems to fit my dremmel well. The only thing it needs is threads for the dremmel to be secured well. Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is the slotted extension for on that tool?
I am working on a derivative:
 http://www.wikicadmodels.org/doku.php?id=creations:circlecutterhttp://www.wikicadmodels.org/d...
I like the derivative! What thread is on it? I never got around to figuring that out and now that I've learned how to model true thread I'd like to make models from now on with thread.
Finally tested out the sharpener this last weekend.
I sharpened my lawn mower blades with it and it worked very well.
You could actually use the dremel attachment for another purpose. You could extend the end, enclose it with a cap, drill a hole on one side and make a nail trimmer for dogs and cats using a drum sander attachment. There are commercially available versions, but making your own is even better.
Yes, I actually thought of this as well...just haven't had a chance to really look at the commercial one yet. I saw it a few months ago at my sister inlaw's house and thought, "hey this is just a dremel tool with a fancy attachment, i could make that"
This might give you a little bit to go on. If you look closely the tool body looks like the cheap, red cordless Dremel wannabes. That's because it is! The main difference is the toenail dust catching attachment, otherwise it's the same device in a different color
I haven't forgotten about this I designed something yesterday, just need to finalize and test it out.
How does the edge-follower bit work; is the one part deeper than the other so you can hook it over the end of a board or something? I can't quite figure it out from the .STL renders. I know, I'm not too bright. :) I might be wanting to cut some straight slots following an edge with my dremel in the immediate future.
Like so, but I haven't tested it out, yet to see if depth can be set by adjusting the bit or backing off the tool by loosing it. I too need to cut slots soon.
The image is a little old i changed some things, but you get the idea.
Out of curiosity...Does it really need the bearing? Was there a design stage in there where you tried it and said "Crap, doesn't turn smoothly enough!"?
Yes i did! Smooth and precise that's how I like to cut! j/k
It probably doesn't need a bearing.
I just wanted to make sure the center stays centered in the hole you drill, via a screw/nut combination.
You can easily design your own Center with a nail.
I don't know why, but at first glance I thought the circle cutter was going to have an exacto blade or something on the outside and the dremel in the middle spinning the entire thing around at ludicrous speed. I was like "Oh, God... the carnage!" :-D
hahahahaa, no I wouldn't intentionally design anything that dangerous.

I am collecting money for the keep it up campaign.
The keep it up campaign raises money for yorkshire air ambulance and the huddersfield town academy with 50% going to both.
This is a major challenge for me. I have not ridden a bike since the new millenium. I think my previous longest ride was 1mile. So it won't be easy.
I have wanted to do this challenge since the first year but never had the bottle or someone to convince me to do it until this year. Me and a old school friend Josh agreed we would do it if the other one did. So here I am relearning to ride a bike and then train to cycle the 250 miles from the emirates stadium in Islington to Huddersfield in 3 days.
As a climber I believe the YAA is essential to help anyone in need in a remote areas. Their service saves lives daily! I am also a huge football fan and think any money towards youth development is excellent.
Please sponsor me to help keep the air ambulances flying and youth football developing.
I am also going to personally match the highest amount of sponsorship I get off of a single person
Updates 1
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me. I have now finished my training and resting before the big ride. For training I have done around 350miles riding since January with almost 6km of ascent. I have been knocked over by a van and twice flown over the handle bars. :o)
