The real fear of the NWO members!
People…you all know that the NWO (CFR) tries to gain power by creating order from disorder.
With the word 'dis-order' we think of riots in the street, the arresting of people, wars, disease outbreaks and so on but in reality it is the other way around.
The 'dis-order' they are talking about is the nothing but the disturbance in THEIR precious system they have refined over time with synthetically created fears … sound-waves and hypnotic light frequencies.
(you cannot see nor can you hear it because of the high vibration of these frequencies)
With these sound-waves and light vibrations they have created a nation of zombies who don't think anymore!
The dis-order the NWO members are talking about is the 'CRITICAL THINKING' people do to find the truth about the invisible prison they are in … a prison of scared slaves and mental death.
You want to win from them and start a real anarchy what will scare the hell out of the NWO members?
Stop being afraid and step back, THINK your way to safety!
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,[75] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
To anyone who is still asleep; do you have the guts to wake up?!
These words are to those who serve the system….a corrupt global system who only want to KILL, STEAL and DESTROY!
Your life is ruled and controlled by a bunch of imbeciles!
You live in a world that is ruled by slimy vampires who want to destroy the health globally!
Only you don't know it yet.
Because of your greed and lust for money and more, the NWO and his patsies from hell saw the chance to go beyond your imagination.
The tyrannical world you now live in is full of sociopathic scientists and so called leaders who aim at the entire humanity and want to see you walking around as chipped slaves.
They have led you believe that there are internal and external threats, like crazy psychopaths with guns, rapists behind every door, hackers who want to clean your bank account empty, men with beards who are blowing up buildings, diseases and viruses from hell etc.
But all those threats are nothing more than an open the door for a larger police state who will act like NWO military zombies around the world.
You led them spread lethal, pharmaceutical drugs that have not been thoroughly tested for safety.
You have turned into a blind sheep and don't see that chemical companies genetically engineering our food.
That they are killing the generations who are yet to come.
Those agencies are the ones who claim to be our safety net….national security have abused your trust!
I don't blame anyone for working in companies who are more looking a mental institution than government institution.
You can be part of the solution, the only thing you have to do is to break free from the lies they tell you and to wake up as quickly as you can.
You probably graduated from a highly respected college and participated in events designed to help your local community.
But they lied to you, our education systems have already been infiltrated for years by this shadow government network.
It's possible that the speeches you received during class have also been carefully crafted to deceive you into thinking that idealism exists.
You've became a NWO zombie…a human being who read about freedom in state of living it.
"nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. His [the individual's] freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives by the fact that he will be numbered from birth and followed, as a number, through his educational training, his required military or other public service, tax contributions, health and medical requirements to his final retirement and death benefits."
(Carroll Quigley)
You were one of the lucky ones who got a great government job…maybe even right out of college.
You passed their background checks.
Back then you had the right profile to become a blind sheep that will never questioning the authority of your boss or the stupid and meaningless rules of the company you are working for.
Congratulations, you have past the personality profile screening process.
Most of the time you feel pretty good about the work you and your department is doing but something it doesn't feel quite right.
Suddenly you hear that someone is fired but nobody knows why.
You can see at some faces that they know more but nobody is telling you what happened.
Rumors spreading like viruses from hell through the company about that person had leaked classified information.
He/she was a "whistle-blower" and they were fired for speaking up about your company's illegal business practices!
You have noticed the same activity since you've been here but are too scared that your boss finds out that you are questioning the fucked up rules and the illegal practices of the company.
And what do you do?
You keep your freaking mouth shut and your head down…and that is all what they want!
They want you to think you are nothing and that they can do with you what they want.
You are nothing more than a lab rat to them!
By working for this fucking system you are agreeing to a Global demolition and are legalizing the actions of a corrupt, government, devoid of morals that has been taken over at the highest levels by global criminals.
I'm not saying that you most quit your job…I'm saying that you most take action.
If you are able to bring another corrupt company down by exposing there illegal practices, do it wise because you can't fight those asseholes from a prison cell!
Can you accept that our country has been taken over by blood sucking maggots?
That the world is a financial and scientific dictatorship?
NO? …than take action!
The fuckers who are in charge of our health and safety have pledged to a dark empire.
We need reject the predatory and illegitimate war making system used to crush our freedom.
The world is becoming a prison and the people in it are getting blinder, you will have to make a choice between freedom and tyranny.
Your children's freedom depends on it.
Do you have the guts to speak up for your country…for your children and grandchildren…for humanity?
Now WAKE THE FUCK UP! …if you see something wrong, say something right!

TUCSON, Ariz. - Arizona's power display in the second inning helped boost the No. 2- ranked Wildcats to a 9-0 softball victory over visiting Western Michigan Wednesday night. The Wildcats remained undefeated at 22-0.
UA freshman pitcher Jenny Gladding held the Broncos (0-2) to 1 hit and struck out 10 in improving to 7-0. After hitting Andrea Kellicut with a pitch to open the game, and giving up a bunt single to Alaina Scott, she retired the final 15 batters.
The Wildcats had a single by Kim Balkan, a home run by Gladding, a double by Erika Hanson, a triple by Lauren Bauer and a home run by Mackenzie Vandergeest to score five runs in the second and surge to a 6-1 lead.
An RBI double by Bauer and a two-run single by Toni Mascarenas pushed it to 9-0 in the third and made the game subject to the eight-run mercy rule shortened to five innings.
Starter Laura Stewart (0-1) took the loss in one and one-third innings. The Broncos will play five games in Arizona's Hillenbrand Invitational tournament Friday through Sunday.

The next two weeks will be noisier, colorful, and tastier in New York City than usual. On January 29, 2014, Chinese New Year will begin at 11 a.m. with the fifteenth annual New Year Firecracker Ceremony held at Roosevelt Park. There will be festivities throughout the city in celebration with the huge Chinese population who call New York City home.
Believed to go back in prehistory, but according to some, the Chinese New Year has Buddhist roots. Buddha promised gifts to every animal that paid him homage. But only twelve animals did. For that, he gave each animal a year in the Chinese Zodiac calendar. This year is the year of the horse that symbolizes intelligence, warmth, energy and ability.
On February 2, 2014 at 1 p.m. the Chinese New Year parade will begin throughout Chinatown. New York Chinatown is crowded any day of the year, but during this parade especially. People will crowd the sidewalks and shop owners will come out and view the parade. Without climbing a light pole or something with some height, many spectators will not see the parade. But if one is lucky enough to squeeze strategically through the people and get a front row spot (or just be really tall) he will be rewarded with cultural dancing, costumes, and floats. It is best to wait at the end of the parade route as in the beginning and middle, the crowds are so congested.
After the parade or really anytime during the Chinese New Year, try some Chinese food. Chinatown has everything from Americanized Chinese food, like sweet and sour chicken, to not so American Chinese food, such as sea cucumbers and there was a live fish sighting at a restaurant.
It is a great cultural festival for everyone whether Asian or not without actually being anywhere near the Asian continent.

This thread is for those random thoughts we have all the time.
When did kids start wearing black socks with sandals and tennis shoes? I see them everywhere.
my mom started buying me black socks around 5th or 6th grade ~1999
yeah, I find it funny that boys wear black socks now with white shoes with their shorts....guess, that is about the only offensive fashion faux paux left to offend previous generations with.
Another random thought.
Why do people going Eastbound on 80/35 get antsy back by Merly Hay and camp in the left lane going 60 mph because they know they'll have to exit left in 6 miles???
These kids all had mid shin length black socks with Sperry's on. Now I like Sperrys, but the whole point of them is to wear without socks. I was in disbelief at this and still am. Glad it got brought up.
Not too mention their hats that they wear backwards and basically falling off their head.
Kids these days!
Why do people think the best thing to do on the makeshift on ramps by the I380 construction is to come to a complete stop?
the title of this thread makes me look for random thoughts thread #2
"When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmmmmmmmmmm, boy."
Wore white socks with them once, boy did I look stupid.
Around Christmastime, I probably creeped out a neighbor.
There was a Christmas bow on the floor of our garage, so I decided to put it on a car. There was a lovely Dodge Charger next to me, so they got the bow. The next day, the bow had been cruelly thrown to the ground. So I placed it back on the Dodge Charger. The third day, no bow :sad: I wonder about the bow's fate and the neighbor's thoughts about who was creepily putting said bow on their car.

Joanie and Chachi, the adorable canine duo who recently became sweethearts of the media after being picked up as strays in Savannah, Ga., have found a new home.
The Savannah-Catham Metropolitan Police Department shared the good news via their Facebook page on Wednesday evening, stating:
Chachi, the long-haired Chihuahua, and Joanie, his larger pit bull mix friend, may have found a home at last. Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department Animal Control Officer Christina Sutherin, who found the pair roaming a Savannah neighborhood, "told" the dogs of their new home Wednesday afternoon.
They were elated.
She has researched a new owner in Florida and plans are being made to transport them. The transfer will take place in August after the period required by state law to transport animals across state lines after inoculations have been given.
When Joanie and Chachi were first discovered, the little dog, who was injured, was being carried in Joanie's mouth. Chachi had a horribly infected eye which had ruptured; the badly damaged eye had to be surgically removed.
After the surgery, as soon as little Chachi was strong enough, the pair was reunited...according to those who witnessed the touching best-friend reunion, it was an emotional event, complete with kisses and snuggles.
The story of the bonded friends was picked up by several large media outlets and it spread like wildfire across the internet.

When I wrote last month about believing in you that You Can, I really meant it. I wanted to give you a little wakeup call to set some goals and follow through with them before the end of the year.
I asked you to set one to three goals and DO them.
How are you doing on your list?
I also set a few goals for myself and while being able to check one off the list (Finish a 5k run with no Achilles pain)-woohoo!- this past month has introduced a new set of goals that will need to step into the forefront.
Will they be challenging? Yes.
Will they help me grow personally & professionally? Yes.
Will they force me to step out of my comfort zone? I can say most definitely, yes.
That's the thing about goals…they can change whether tweaked by you the list-maker or by outside means. Through the years I have learned the best way to allow yourself success when setting goals is to be flexible.
Allowing change to happen is okay.
Will I meet all of these goals?
Yes. Because I know I Can.
I believe in myself.
Have you learned to do the same?
Join us next Monday, the 17th for our monthly link up and prompt: I can.

Empire Brass Quintet
Derek Lockhart, Trumpet | Eric Berlin, Trumpet | Victor Sungarian, French Horn | Greg Spiridopoulos, Trombone | Kenneth Amis, Tuba
Instrumental Ensembles
Manager: Mark Z. Alpert
Management Territory: Worldwide
"They simply have no competition... any Empire Brass performance live or on a recording sends a thrill of pleasure through your nervous system." THE BOSTON GLOBE
"They exhibited virtuosity and versatility far beyond the normal call of concert duty. You have not often heard an ensemble that played with more gusto than this one." NEW YORK TIMES
Both the Empire Brass and CAMI mourn the passing of its founder, the incomparable, Rolf Smedvig. As per Rolf's wishes, the legacy will continue.
The Empire Brass enjoys an international reputation as North America's finest brass quintet, renowned for its brilliant virtuosity and the unparalleled diversity of its repertoire.
The five musicians - all of whom have held leading positions with major American orchestras - perform over 100 concerts a year in cities such as New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington, London . . . , Zurich and Tokyo.
With their best-selling recordings on the Telarc label they have introduced an even larger audience worldwide to the excitement of brass music that ranges from Bach and Handel to jazz and Broadway.
They are equally at home in the majestically antiphonal works that Gabrieli composed for St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice and the exuberantly show stopping tunes that Richard Rodgers and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote for Broadway.

A father is angry after seeing the video of his 10-month-old baby girl being drenched with ice cold water for the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge." The baby's father, Claude Dalcour told USA Today (Aug. 29) his soon to be ex-father in law posted a video on Facebook which showed his father-in-law pouring ice cold water on himself with his granddaughter directly below him sitting in a baby walker. The ice cold water splashed in the baby's face as she was looking up to him.
Dalcour is in the process of divorcing the baby's mother, admitting the divorce proceedings are "nasty." After he saw the Ice Bucket Challenge video of his daughter being drenched and reported the incident to the police, his divorce situation became 'nastier.' It comes as no surprise that Dalcour reported the Facebook video incident to the police.
Dalcour said he was shocked when he first saw the video on Facebook. "You don't do that to an infant," he said and he added the grandfather should have known better. Most participants are adults whom participate in the Ice Bucket Challenge and most parents or caregivers of children use 'common sense' when around children.
While the baby was allegedly not harmed from the ice cold water, it is not recommended to involved children in the Ice Bucket Challenge. The video clearly shows the baby was looking up when the cold water was poured over her. She could have asphyxiated the water through her nose or mouth, thus becoming a dangerous situation, including secondary drowning. The grandfather lacked common sense but has not been charged with a crime at the present time.

Free Standing Emergency Rooms: When Do They Make Sense?
Printer-friendly format
By: Colin Luke
Free standing emergency rooms are a relatively new and controversial development in the healthcare delivery system. Although there are a number of these facilities in certain areas of the United States, Alabama does not now have any free standing emergency rooms. This situation may change in the near future, and many healthcare observers are concerned that our state may see a proliferation of these facilities in the next decade or so.
Currently, the Birmingham area has two proposals pending for free standing emergency rooms. Brookwood has filed a certificate of need application to build the state's first freestanding emergency room off U.S. 280 near Greystone in Shelby County at a cost of $14 million. This application is opposed by Trinity Medical Center and St. Vincent's and is scheduled for a CON hearing in October. St. Vincents has filed its third successive letter of intent with the State Health Planning and Development Agency to build a free standing emergency room adjacent to its current facilities on 119 but has not yet filed its full application.
Many patients are confused about free-standing emergency rooms and how they differ from urgent care centers. As opposed to urgent care clinics or centers, free standing emergency rooms seek to duplicate the complete complement of procedures and services offered by hospital emergency departments in acute care hospitals. Unlike most urgent care centers, free standing emergency rooms usually accept ambulance traffic.
Free standing emergency rooms typically receive a much higher level of reimbursement than urgent care clinics. While most urgent care centers do not bill facility fees, free standing emergency departments are compensated for facility fees at hospital-like levels of reimbursement. In Alabama, urgent care centers are most often physician offices which are exempt from licensure and Certificate of Need review.
The proponents of these facilities generally argue that they will relieve overcrowding in overworked urban acute care hospital emergency departments. In addition, they argue that free standing emergency rooms "increase the availability of high-quality emergency care" in more convenient and readily accessible settings. Often, these facilities are designed to shift or retain patient market share in competitive markets.
Free standing emergency rooms have been most successful in rural areas where there is no nearby acute care hospital. Texas, in particular, has seen a significant number of free standing emergency room emerge in counties where the only acute care hospital has been forced to close for economic reasons. Where there are large distances between population centers and limited helicopter transportation, the free standing department may be the only facility that can provide any significant emergency care.
There are serious concerns about whether free standing emergency rooms are a good thing for emergency care. Will ambulance drivers and other emergency personnel be able to determine whether a particular patient is too sick for the free standing emergency room? Will patients lose valuable time by being transported to a free-standing emergency room and then being re-transported by ambulance to a full-service acute care hospital? There are also questions about whether the duplication of personnel and equipment between the acute care hospital and the free standing emergency room is a good thing for a healthcare delivery system already facing severe expense pressures.
The Alabama Department of Public Health has no present license category for free-standing emergency rooms. The Department has made clear that it will not license these facilities as hospitals. Moreover, that State Health Plan for Alabama does not have a category for these facilities, and review standards may be difficult for certificate of need purposes.
Medicaid is likely to be concerned about any expansion of emergency room care in a new type of facility. Both the Alabama Medicaid Agency and CMS have been working to move primary care out of more costly settings and to encourage the delivery of primary care in physician offices and outpatient clinics. Traditionally, Medicaid consumers have been higher users of emergency departments than the general health care consumer. With aggressive marketing efforts, the addition of free standing emergency departments in suburban or more convenient areas may work against these efforts to move primary care into more cost effective settings.
If free standing emergency departments overcome these objections and receive approval in Alabama and prove to be a profitable endeavor, Alabama may see a wave of these facilities in suburban markets. These facilities may prove particularly effective in capturing market share for acute care hospitals that are sponsoring these facilities but may harm hospitals that operate only emergency departments at their primary acute care location.

Like "Google", "Wikipedia" has entered the common lexicon. I haven't yet heard anyone say they're going to Wikipedia something but I'm sure that someone, somewhere, is already doing it. Many of us have Wikipedia bookmarked as our "go to" site, the first port of call to get an overview of a topic. The free, online encyclopedia features roughly 17 million articles in 270 languages, all created by a volunteer community. On 15 January this year Wikipedia celebrates its tenth birthday – what had the potential to become disastrously chaotic has become a valued icon, consulted by more than 400 million people every month.Read More
The Wikimedia Foundation plans to launch an editable, video encyclopedia to complement its text-based online encyclopedia. Since its launch in 2001, Wikipedia has grown at an astounding rate, with about 65 million visits per month and thousands of volunteer contributors writing, adding to and editing thousands of articles every day. In a multimedia age, adding video hopes to take Wikipedia to a new level.Read More

In Lake Placid village you're bound to bump into athletes who propel down twisty tubes, jump ice-capped moguls and rocket off bone-chilling high jumps. And though it's been years since the first Olympics (1932 & again in 1980) the world-class training center reminds visitors that the town continues to host World Cup events.
It's no secret that Lake Placid can tip the adrenaline scale but lesser known are activities for the masses. It's not always about breaking records and pushing the envelope. Sometimes it's nice to enjoy the winter splendor in slow motion.
People-Watching From a High Peak
You don't need your ski poles for a birds-eye view of the 46 picturesque Adirondack High Peaks. Ascend the eight-person Cloudsplitter Gondola at Whiteface Mountain purely as a tourist. The short 15-minute ride jettisons over icy streams, thick forests and skiers below tackling icy black diamonds and harrowing mogul runs. West coast powder-pushers can only dream of skiing here. An observation deck allows you to the spot the Lake Placid ski jump to the West and Lake Champlain to the East.
Trekking Frozen Waterfalls
Upstate New York is a terrain rollercoaster. Gentle ridges, low valleys, shallow creeks and cascading waterfalls complete the picture. To better
understand the geology of the ancient rock and its changing landscape, visit High Falls Gorge. Owner Kathryn Reiss provides you with a pair of ice cleats for easy navigation over steel bridges and slippery girders.
Frozen icicles teeter from granite cliffs just above the Ausable River. Patterns of trapped bubbles in the formations create a natural quilt. After a short hike, warm up around an open campfire roasting marshmallows and enjoy a complimentary cup of hot cocoa.
Snowshoeing with Winter Critters
Outdoor guide and teacher, Elizabeth Lee, can identify the tracks of raccoon, fox, mice, rabbit, wolf, moose and deer. She has a sniffer so refined she can even smell prey after it leaves a scent. I hired Lee to take me on a lovely snowshoeing trek along a gurgling brook to the clearing of Cooperas Pond. Buoyed by a bright blue sky the sweet sounds of chickadees, sapsuckers and kinglets followed us to the pond's shady bank.
The easy roundtrip Sentinel Range Wilderness Trail includes three ponds between one and four miles in distance. Lee surprises me with news that the Ausable River offers fishermen (even in the winter) the best trout catching on the East Coast.
She spots a frisky otter as it dives though an open hole in the waters edge. Blowdown makes for the perfect hiding place for porcupine and skunk. Yes, bears also live in the Adirondacks but you're likely not to confront one because they tend to hibernate in the winter.
Cross-Country Skiing with Ease
Because you're sampling easier activities you'll also find time to squeeze more of them in. The Cascade X-C Ski Center offers rentals for every level of ability including telemark, racing and backcountry. Groomed trails crisscross 12-miles of serene wilderness. The meditative activity is quieter, cheaper and odds are good you won't sprain an ankle or break a bone. Wax up on a moonlit evening and ski past crackling bonfires, live music and hotdogs roasting on outdoor pits.
Moderate Ice Climbing
It sounds dangerous but Lee says it's not "if you know what you're doing and learn to read the ice and respect the conditions." Canadian climbers drive over 1000 miles to ice climb Mount Pitchoff just north of Mount Van Hoevenberg. There are more climbs here than parking spaces. Depending on the slope and texture of the ice, climbing requires special equipment like ropes, harnesses, ice axes, carabiners and crampons for your boots. If you're nimble enough to scale this precipitous cliff there are plenty more along the southern face for further views of Chapel Pond and the Cascade lakes far below.
It's not the Iditarod but take a quick spin behind an eager team of Alaskan Huskies as they mush across the frozen Mirror Lake. Or test your adrenaline on a dramatic toboggan ride down a 50-foot tower. Slow down the pace in the afternoon with a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride. Still have energy leftover?
Do a few laps around the same public skating oval that American Eric Heiden won a record five gold medals on in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The longer I stay in Lake Placid the more activities I find to qualify as 'achievable' by anyone's standards.
4-Diamond Breakfast and Spa
After a morning meal of flapjacks, sweet maple syrup and flavored tea, I'm pampered one last time in an Adirondack-themed hot tub at the Mirror Lake Inn & Spa. Ed and Lisa Weibrecht are the doting proprietors of this historic estate that opened its doors to guests in 1926. The same cozy antique furniture, a solid mahogany piano and grandfather clock adorn the lobby and front desk area. Linger near the warm rosewood fireplace while you admire the vintage library collection and mounted big game trophies.
In the depths of winter twinkling lights adorn windswept pines heavy with snow. Lodging here suits everyone's needs but because of a tragic fire in 1988 the only original bedroom is in the Main Building. Plead for it if you have to! The nearby Cottage Café serves up traditional pub fair on the lake while The View caters to foodies of fine-dining.

YESTERDAY, on September 28, 2008, the People's Republic of China performed their FIRST EVER SPACEWALK aboard the Shenzhou 7 mission.
China became the third country to spacewalk and perform EVAs.
The spacewalk was performed by Zhai Zhigang in his Chinese-designed Feitian spacesuit and also by Liu Boming in his Orlan-M spacesuit. The third crewmember, Jing Haipeng, stayed in the spacecraft. Zhai Zhigang spacewalked for 20 minutes and waved the Chinese flag in space while doing so.
A message to all the crewmembers, to all the Chinese, and to ALL of the astronauts around the world: CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Shenzhou VII was China's third human spaceflight, and was China's first ever spacewalk. With the launch of the manned Shenzhou 7 mission, China became the third nation in the world to spacewalk.
At 21:10 CST, September 25, three Chinese astronauts (taikonauts) inside the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft blasted off on its CZ-2F "Long March 2" rocket boosters.
This will be China's first three-man mission. This mission will also be China's first launch of a mini-satellite, China's first water training pool, and China's first extraterrestial Communist Party branch.
During the mission, the crew will also launch China's first data-relay satelllite, named "Tianlian 1". Two Yuanwang-class space tracking ships (5 and 5) will also be used to track the mission.
China's space program is currently the world's third most advanced and largest space program. The Chinese space program is also the world's fastest-advancing and fastest-upgrading space program.
Shenzhou 7 will include SIX of China's first ever accomplishments!
China will launch a full-size space station in 2010, build a space shuttle, have a human landing on the moon by 2020, and a manned mission to Mars by 2040.
So, to our Chinese fellows and friends from all around the world, we don't just can do it, WE DID IT!

Oldest cliché in the book: There's nothing like a serious illness or loss to shake you out of your stupor and rearrange your priorities. Or as Joni Mitchell sang, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone."
I remember a famous cancer doctor telling me years ago that every one of his patients said if only they'd known the relationship between what they ate and disease, they would have changed their diet overnight. So much of the world's arts and letters and culture high and low is filled with coulda-shoulda-woulda's.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get a glimpse of our future so we could be motivated to pay attention to the important things and make all those changes now?
Obviously we can't (not with assurance, anyway), but there are certain things that most of us would probably benefit from. Like reducing our stress. Most medical professionals come together on this point: Stress is a factor in all major diseases.
We're all highly aware that the farthest distance between two points is the leap from knowing something to doing it. But for me, a few recent illnesses (not mine) have acted like the world's loudest and most unignorable wake-up call.
I've had a lot of quiet time to contemplate the things that just don't matter when faced with losing someone you deeply love. And I want to turn these experiences into a positive — a big positive — where I actually do shift some priorities, stop just talking the talk, and make that giant leap to walking the walk.
Shifting Priorities
Here are 7 things I've determined cause undue stress in my life, and I've resolved to care way less about them.
Appearances: yours, mine and ours So what if I look like I just rolled out of bed? I probably did. If that's how someone is going to judge me, I don't think we're going to get along anyway. The other side of that coin is being less judgmental of others' appearances. Aren't I usually wrong about 100 percent of the time? I resolve to look past everyone's superficial "flaws" and discover their true essence — starting in the mirror.

Johannes Knapp's final video today from the Acer press event in New York is of the new Acer 7.9-inch Iconia A1 Android tablet.
This tablet comes installed with Android 4.2.2, and maybe the best of all is that it will only set you back $169, for what Johannes considers a solid and well-built unit, which he likens to the Apple iPad.
The screen features an XGA resolution which means 1024 x 768 and it comes with a quad-core CPU from Mediatek which is clocked at 1.2GHz. Other features include a microHDMI and microSD memory slot. It's not going to break any records for performance, but you can't argue with the asking price, either.
At this stage there are no details on availability.

Danny Bowien on Going Full Burrito at Mission Cantina
"Eventually, we want to open a Mission Burrito. That's been a plan of ours since the beginning."
Right before Danny Bowien opened Mission Cantina in November, he held a one-day-only event where he sold a few hundred burritos. People had high praise for them, but then, mysteriously, they vanished. Bowien didn't include them on Cantina's menu, and he only broke them out again during a clandestine Super Bowl pop-up — but this time they didn't disappear. Instead, Bowien finally introduced seven burrito varieties to the Cantina menu, available only on a to-go basis. A taste test confirms that the burritos do indeed live up to the hype: juicy but not at all mushy; crispy but pliant; heavy, but not to the point that you need to pass out immediately afterwards. In short, people are going to get hooked on these things. So we called Bowien up to talk burrito-eating etiquette, his all-time favorite versions in California, and his plans to open a stand-alone Mission Burrito shop in New York.
You first introduced Mission Cantina as a burrito pop-up. Has this been your endgame all along?
In the beginning, we wanted to open a casual concept down the street that you could go to while waiting in line for Mission Chinese Food. And then we said, let's open a restaurant, because it's a pretty big place. I'm from California, so I wanted to make Californian Mexican food, but there were already fuck-loads of places doing that, like Dos Toros. There's nothing wrong with that type of food, but it's fast food. Not to say that making burritos is phoning it in, but we wanted to push ourselves.
Eventually, we want to open a Mission Burrito. That's been a plan of ours since the beginning, but first, we wanted to do our version of real, weird Mexican food. Tacos don't travel very well — it's not like Chinese food, which is the most forgiving of all the delivery food. I thought a to-go burrito would be a good segue.
When did you first become interested in making burritos?
Burritos are what got me through being a broke 21-year-old. If you get a burrito, you eat half of it, and save the other half of it for later. When I was 21, a friend of mine named Brandon Hoy, who now owns part of Roberta's, used to work at this bar called Odessa. At the time, I was working for literally nothing and making $300 a week. I'd meet my friends there after work and we all talked about how we wanted to open a burrito shop so badly, because there wasn't really a place like that here in New York at the time.
San Francisco's not as great as New York at having things that are open insanely early or insanely late, and the only place I could eat at those times was this taqueria up the street from Mission Chinese called Taqueria Cancún. When I moved to New York, I missed that. I was still making Chinese food, but it was muscle memory.
So what exactly goes into yours?
The first and most important part is getting awesome tortillas. Ours come from Mi Barrio Tortilleria in Bushwick, and the guy makes them for us fresh every morning. A lot of places steam their tortillas. It's fast when they heat it up in a flash steamer. But I hate that. The way you digest a steamed piece of flour versus something that'd been griddled and crisped is different. It sits in your stomach differently. If it's a vegetarian burrito, we griddle it in a bit of olive oil, but if it's a meat one, we griddle them in chicken fat, which gives it a nice texture and flavor.
We toast them on each side, and then we put some of our smoked queso Oaxaca in there, and some shredded fresh mozzarella. We add a bit of cilantro and chopped-up onion, Rancho Gordo pinto beans that are cooked in bay leaves and onions, and avocado. I don't like re-fried beans: A lot of times they're cooked in fat, and they're a lot heavier. Another thing I hate is when people put guacamole on burritos. It's nice to have a little contrast and not have all the ingredients get soft. Slices of avocado taste a lot cleaner and hold a lot better. We also add crema, which we're about to start making in house with buttermilk. And salsa fresco with onions, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and salt.
We roll it all up and it goes back onto the griddle. It's griddled on all four sides, Dorado-style. Nice and crispy. It's fun to make burritos. I like our version because it's a lot lighter than you would think, in a weird way. It's the version that I like to eat.
What's your go-to filling?
The fish burrito with skate is really good. I like the lamb burrito because I've never had that kind of burrito before. And I like the vegetarian one, too. It's so much food anyway; you don't really need the protein in there. It just has more cheese than the others. We don't add any additional vegetables. What's the point?
How'd you settle on a price point?
I don't want to make anyone mad, but someone in San Francisco was complaining that I'm selling burritos for $9 or $10. I called a bunch of taquerias in San Francisco and asked about the prices there. My favorite place to go is La Taqueria, and a meat burrito with everything on it cost $9.71. And chips and salsa are extra! They don't even make their own chips. Considering the price of rent in New York, I think it's a good deal.
Any burrito-eating etiquette tips?
The way you eat a burrito is very important. You've got to peel the foil down as you eat it. If you take the foil down, it's really messy. And I don't think you should reheat them. I like them room-temperature or cold. It's like reheating a piece of pizza. Is it absolutely necessary? When you get it, the only things that are hot are the meat and the beans, anyways.
Do you plan on ever serving them inside the restaurant?
We're going to start offering delivery through Caviar. And I haven't been that busy later in the evening, so if you come in around 11:30 p.m., you might be able to finagle your way into eating a burrito at the bar. We may start staying open later on the weekends. It depends on if we want a lot of drunk people in the restaurant. We'll see.
But it doesn't really make sense for people to sit down and share a $10 burrito. It's like putting a hamburger on your menu. At most restaurants, that's what everyone just wants to order. There's a place in Atlanta called Holeman & Finch that has an amazing burger, but they only offer it for an hour, from 11 to 12 a.m. Otherwise, all they'd sell are hamburgers. It's pretty funny. But in New York, you can't say, "No, you can't have this." People will get pissed off!
Do you have an idea of when you'll open Mission Burrito?
As soon as we can! I think there's a lot of opportunity to do something like this. It's just a matter of when we're ready. Of course we want to do it right now, but we need to make sure that we have a good infrastructure at Mission Cantina. It's a pretty solid foundation, but we're only four months old. We're still learning how to run a restaurant. It's still a challenge.

Trying to recover
We filed chapter 13 9/07, should have been discharged 2/11 but our attorney passed so with everything given to a new one it wasn't discharged till 9/11. We were not educated to look for things on the credit report after the bankruptcy so until we pulled it. Medical collectors had been reporting the entire time throughout our bankruptcy, I did call them and advise them and they did take all their info completely off our credit reports. But another apparently sold to another bank, so the original says charged off while the new bank says included in bankruptcy. I was current on this particular bill right up till the filing. They said they had to report it they had a name change in the banks so that's why its on my report twice, they both have pretty much the same info and they keep updated their account on my report. Even though they had a name change for their bank or sold it, I don't know which, can the one say charged off? Isn't that hurting me instead of it as well saying included in bankruptcy. I feel like it's taking forever for us to get the credit scores up and we want to buy a house.

Will you understand what I cannot say
Will you read my thoughts on and on again
Will you feel this way more and more and more
Who do you love now
or on the whole
All I want is you
Hey you
give it up
You cannot resist these secrets
So uneasily you and I will meet
Only secretly you and I feel
Who do you love now
or on the whole?
all I want is you
Hey you
give it up
You cannot resist these secrets
Nobody should know
what we should not do
Only secretly
all I want is you
Hey you
give yourself away
Feel it
give it up
you cannot resist these secrets
Was it love that was here for a while?
Or just some-one you knew before
Did you see where it went
Did it say what it was
And could you hear what it said
or whispered
'bout you and me

We admit it. Hugh Jackman could be selling vacuum cleaner attachments, and we'd suddenly develop a passion for clean carpets. But instead, the singing studmuffin has put his seal of approval onto something we're already nuts for: caffeine. Laughing Man Dukale's Dream Espresso ($14) is an organic, fair-trade brew inspired by Jackman's friendship with an Ethiopian coffee farmer.
This seems expensive for a bag of espresso coffee. This must be good if it cost this much. http://www.groutmagnificent.com/Services.aspx

Thank God these things eat only nectar and fruit. With a six-foot wing-span, this thing would scare me to death if it came swooping out of the trees! This informative video posted by Animal Wire on August 15, 2013 gives a brief glimpse into the Mega-bat.
They're kind'a cute... in the "that's so ugly it's cute" category, that is. I still don't think I could deal with something that large flying near me. Change of pants-- check.

A Dangerous Physiology By: Ann Blake Tracy
Our latest search for bliss in a bottle: Prozac. How does it work and just what does it do? How many additional problems does Prozac, as a possible solution to depression, create for society and for the individual patient and his family?
Let's dispel a widely spread myth here in the beginning, which is that "Prozac 'stimulates' the body's own production of serotonin", thereby helping to balance the brain chemistry. Although this is the understanding of many patients and some practitioners even suffer from this mistaken perception, the fact is that Prozac ABSOLUTELY does not stimulate the production of serotonin!
Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that is believed to affect depression. Serotonin does affect the mood center of the brain.
If you ask a professional, preferably one who has done clinical trials involving Prozac, just how the drug does work and what the theory is behind what Prozac was designed to do, they will attempt an explanation, but always end with, "Actually we really don't know what Prozac does or how it works within the brain."
Their explanation generally goes like this: Prozac is "designed" to prevent the re-uptake of serotonin into the brain by binding to the cell receptors and the pre-synaptic cell membranes that serotonin passes through within the brain, thereby blocking the serotonin so that it cannot pass through into the blood stream where it is quickly inactivated or metabolized.
The theory is that this binding effect of Prozac will raise the level of serotonin by holding it in the brain and not allowing it to be expelled by the body. Yet we know from animal studies that in the initial administration Prozac causes the brain to shut down it's own production of serotonin, thereby lowering the level of serotonin and low levels have been detected in those committing violent or aggressive acts. (We have no research to verify just how long this shutting down of serotonin production continues. It appears to be at least the first two to three weeks.)
This would indicate the necessity for extreme caution, specifically in the initial stages of Prozac use. Dr. Peter Breggin, one of the top psychiatrists in the country whose practice is in Bethesda, Maryland, stated that, "This (shutting down of the serotonin production) should have set off red flags at Eli Lilly."
One can deduct from this information that we do not know at any one given moment during the patient's use of Prozac if it is causing an increase or decrease in the serotonin level of the patient. A blood test can be taken to determine the blood serotonin levels, but what indication that is of the level of serotonin within the brain itself, we cannot be sure.
A brain biopsy is the most accurate test for measurement of brain serotonin levels, but it is hardly convenient, comfortable, inexpensive, or advisable!
Another important fact to consider is that nobody knows just how Prozac works in the brain or how any anti-depressant works within the brain itself.
Although brain wave patterns give us a direct indication of what is happening with the neurotransmitter action within the brain and Prozac is designed to directly affect the neurotransmitter, serotonin, it is not even common practice to check brain wave patterns through EEG's to see what might be happening to the brain.
Wouldn't a patient want to know that? The author would STRONGLY encourage any patient using Prozac or any antidepressant to have EEG's taken to see how the drug is affecting the neurotransmitters within the brain.
One giant flaw in this theory of raising serotonin levels is that apparently depression can be caused by either high serotonin levels or low serotonin levels.
Since Prozac is designed only to raise the serotonin level (if, in fact, it is actually raising, rather than lowering serotonin) and does not have the capability to actually balance the serotonin level, what might that do to someone who is suffering depression because of high levels of this neurotransmitter? Autistic children generally have either abnormally high or low serotonin levels.
And it is interesting to note that many of the adverse emotional side effects reported by ex-Prozac users are very similar to behavior noted in autistic patients. Recent studies have been done on the possibilities of serotonin levels being directly related to those behaviors considered classically autistic.
Prozac is a highly protein binding drug (94%) thus blocking primarily serotonin in the brain for extended periods. We should question whether or not this binding aspect also inhibits the brain from utilizing the serotonin which is blocked in this manner.
Yet Prozac binds also to other proteins or toxins in the blood, making them too large to be broken down and expelled readily by the body. This protein binding aspect of Prozac is the reason why mixing the drug with other anti-depressants can be so dangerous.
It holds them in the blood stream for a longer period of time and increases the dosage of those drugs within the blood. Prozac can raise the level of tricyclic anti-depressants and MAOs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) to toxic levels quickly.
All of this binding to body proteins would cause excess stress to be placed on the organs involved in metabolizing and elimination, the liver, pancreas, etc. Those patients having the extremely adverse effects right away tend to be those with pancreatic and liver weaknesses or a past history of diseases affecting those organs, including a past history of excessive alcohol usage.
Eli Lilly states in their clinical pharmacology warnings on the product that "Fluoxetine (Prozac) is extensively metabolized in the liver. As might be predicted from it's primary source of metabolism, liver impairment can affect the elimination of fluoxetine.
This suggests that the use of fluoxetine in patients with liver disease must be approached with caution. If fluoxetine is administered to patients with liver disease, a lower or less frequent dose should be used."
A frightening observation is that one of the more frequent complaints of adverse reactions made to the FDA about Prozac is impaired liver function. If a patient is taking a drug that impairs the organ that is essential in controlling the amount of medication the body retains in the blood, how safe can the drug be? Once the liver function is impaired, Prozac will rapidly accumulate within the body to toxic levels.
With the combination of fluoxetine (Prozac) and alcohol or other drugs or excessive intake of processed sugars or the inability of the body to maintain balanced blood sugar levels the liver would go into overload and not be able to function normally.
This would create much higher levels of Prozac in the blood, thus producing the "nightmarish" results we are witnessing from this drug. It would give us an explanation of why patients and families report that the suicidal or homicidal impulses came on suddenly, without warning.
Who knows how long their liver will be able to control the level of Prozac in their blood? Patients should be aware of this aspect of Prozac and realize that they are playing Russian Roulette with not only their own lives but the lives of those with whom they associate.
The most recent pharmaceutical product warnings on Prozac (May 1990) mention the possibility of the use of this drug causing diabetes, hypoglycemia and pancreatitis. The harm caused to the pancreas may be causing an imbalance in the blood sugar levels which in turn causes a compulsive desire for excesses in alcohol (See information on Prozac - alcohol connection in the next chapter.), processed sugars and other stimulants - all of which impair liver function.
The impaired liver function then raises the level of Prozac in the system to dangerous heights and the vicious cycle of this drug becomes self-propelling!
Because of the undue stress placed upon the pancreas, even to the point of pushing the once healthy pancreas into malfunction, causing the excessive craving for stimulants that would then impair liver function, and because of the high incidence reports to the FDA of liver impairment as a reaction to Prozac, we should question anyone's ability, no matter how healthy, to withstand the effects of this drug over a prolonged period of usage.
The length of time involved before the adverse side effects begin to appear would only demonstrate the strength of the patient's constitution to withstand those effects.
The PDR (Physicians' Desk Reference) states, "The effectiveness of Prozac in long-term use, that is for more than 5 to 6 weeks, has not been systematically evaluated in controlled trials. Therefore, the physician who elects to use Prozac for extended periods should periodically re-evaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient."
The wide majority of patients on Prozac have been on the drug for far more than 5 or 6 weeks and few have been "periodically re-evaluated", as most doctors see no need because of the sales pitch never mentioning details such as side effects. And apparently the importance of consistent re-evaluation has not been stressed to the prescribing physician because close monitoring of Prozac is rare.
Unfortunately the attitude of the majority of the medical community, after being persuaded by pharmaceutical reps that Prozac has few side effects, is "This is a wonderful new drug with no side effects. Here, try it. You will feel great." The patient rarely even gets the "call me in the morning" on this one! The doctor often says, "Here is your prescription for the next year.
Unless YOU notice any problems, we will see you then." In this way he puts the responsibility on the patient and removes it from himself. If the drug did not alter the mind and impair one's judgement, that might be a rational statement to make, but few ex-Prozac patients will claim to have been capable of judging whether or not they were having problems with this drug.
Eli Lilly has been working on obtaining FDA approval for use of Prozac, with a brand name change to Lovan, as a treatment for obesity, which is often caused by blood sugar imbalances, as demonstrated through obsessive appetite cravings.
Therefore, if Prozac is approved as a weight loss remedy we may see a nightmare beyond our wildest imaginations! Another contributing factor to that nightmare would be the extremely high dosage (generally three to four capsules per day) that must be used to affect a loss in weight. (Perhaps Eli Lilly will sponsor a national contest which would award two grand prizes: one to the "thinnest corpse" and the other to the "thinnest murder suspect".)
The people who reach the high levels of concentration of Prozac in their systems are now dead, due to violent acts to themselves or they are being prosecuted for violent actions they have taken against others or they have survived with mental or physical incapacities.
Those who have suffered suicide or violent actions toward others are now in a position to understand what has happened to them, as they are now either dead or no longer using the drug that was impairing their judgement. Those who continue to live in this "Prozac Hell" are the saddest victims of all.
These people describe themselves are extremely irritable, having violent suicidal or homicidal thoughts, having no feelings of guilt or sense of conscience, "possessed", having panic and anxiety attacks, having extreme difficulty with concentration, having no ability to love, having impaired judgement (forming a thought sequence to arrive at a decision becomes a monumental task), they feel completely out of control and often develop an overwhelming fear of being controlled by others (See how patients are describing their experience in chapter entitled "Patient Reports".).
All these things bring on such feelings of inadequacy and humiliation that the patient becomes even more depressed about his situation in life and continues to take the medication or even allows an increase in dosage, thinking that he must REALLY NEED this anti-depressant!
This most heart-rending side of Prozac is that the patient, who is uninformed of the side effects really believes all these feelings and events are indications of flaws in his own character, not reactions to the drug!!! As Michael O'Brien stated, "Prozac is a boon to psychiatrists. It brings in business! A person with a simple problem now becomes a mental patient with serious problems."
Attorneys are asking what they should do with the flood of people coming to them. They say the patients are afraid to go back to their doctors because the doctor will either raise their dose, thinking they need more of the drug in their systems in order for it to be effective or the doctor will label them "crazy or suicidal".
Although the major lack of awareness tends to center around the emotional back lash of Prozac, there are also very real physical side-effects as well. Generally these physical side-effects are more easily recognized as reactions to Prozac than are the emotional. But patients are continuing to report more and more problem areas that need to be evaluated.
The latest being that after using Prozac their white blood counts are continuing to test low. Does this mean that Prozac is attacking the immune system? And if it is attacking the immune system, what could that mean to someone who is taking Prozac for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or AIDS or any other of our newer diseases which we are discovering to be problems with the immune system? (It is popular among some physicians to prescribe Prozac for these diseases because of its energizing effects.).
Besides the concern this should generate for the general public, what might this mean for the gay community or other high risk groups, not to mention the general public who are all rightfully concerned about protecting their immune systems?
Ann Blake Tracy is author of PROZAC - Panacea or Pandora a 400 page tome on this antidepressant drug. It is available from Cassia Publications P.O.B. 1044 W. Jordan, UT 84088; 800-280-0730

WTF "core" BoD member
DONATE! - if you don't have time, but have extra money or equipment to provide then we could sure use it!
More about Volunteering...
You do not need to be an expert at trail constructionn to help out on a project. There are many tasks that require only a willingness to learn and work with others. We try to incorporate all willing volunteers no matter what skill level. Both skilled and unskilled construction volunteers are welcome!
Every morning at sign-in area or on-site, our project volunteer lead will outline tasks to be done that day, and, with the help of skilled volunteers, teach everyone how to do those tasks. We will be working on different tasks each day, depending on what stage the process is in or if focus is new construction or maintenance. We're glad when volunteers are able to work the full time (typically 9am to 3pm) but understand not all can dedicate that amount of time to help building/maintaining trails, so if you need to leave early please let the project leader know ahead of time so tasks can be managed based on available resources. In return for your time, we promise that you'll have a lot of fun, meet some great people, learn about best practices for sustainable trail construction, and feel good about the time spent increasing trail miles or maintaining existing trails.

Program Evaluation Report
I. What is the Program Evaluation?
The Program Evaluation is a student academic report, available on-line in your SageAdvisor account. It is an up-to-date outline of degree requirements and is created for all matriculated students. This report is an important individualized educational planning tool that matches the courses you have completed (or registered for) with an outline of the requirements for your degree. (The report is also sometimes referred to as a Degree Audit).
The Program Evaluation report serves as your on-line record of progress toward fulfilling your major, general education and degree requirements. This report is used by the Office of Student Services to clear senior-level students for graduation. Therefore, it is super important that students refer to it for registration and course planning. By ignoring this report you may be wasting time, taking the wrong credits and/or throwing good tuition money away.
NOTE: Completion of a minimum of 120 total credits is required for a bachelor's degree. Separate major checklists are OK to use, but they are UNOFFICIAL and do not replace the on-line Academic Evaluation Report. Completion of a minimum of 120 credits is required for a bachelor's degree.
II. Report Sections
Report Heading
1. Students Name, Sage ID number.
2. PROGRAM: Major student is enrolled in; CATALOG: The Sage Catalog YEAR in which your requirements are based. This is determined by the year you matriculated at Sage.
3. ANT. COMPLETION DATE: The month and year you are expected to complete your degree. If you believe that this is incorrect, please let the Office of Student Services know.
4. ADVISOR NAME: Each student is assigned a faculty advisor, a full-time professor from their academic major department
5. PACE Ratio/Financial Aid Eligibility
(Calculated by Total Completed Credits/Total Attempted Credits)
*Students who do not attain a Pace of 67.000% or higher may not qualify for financial aid in a subsequent semester.
6. CREDITS & GPA information:
-- credits: Institutional credits and Total credits (includes transfer credits, AP, etc).
-- # of total credits Earned, In progress and Remaining
-- GPA: This section shows your current Sage GPA
TIP: For GPA and total credit information that is easier to read and understand, look in SageAdvisor: Using the Transcript link.
Degree Requirements
The Program Evaluation lists all Required Courses within Required Categories such as:
- LIFE Skills/General Education Requirements
- Major Program Requirements
- Liberal Arts & Sciences
"Other Courses": This section lists elective courses that ARE included in your overall credit total - which appears on page one. These courses do not fulfill specific requirements, and are general or open elective credits. These credits help students achieve the minimum total required, 120 credits.
NOTE: You will see on your Academic Evaluation that some courses fulfill
requirements in more than one section, BUT the credits for the course are only
counted ONCE in your overall credit total.
III. Report Codes
(appear to the left of section heading title)
N = Not started: You have not registered for or completed any courses which apply to this section.
I = In progress: You have started, but not yet completely fulfilled, the requirement(s) for this section.
C = Complete: You have fulfilled the requirement(s) for this section.
W = Waived: Your advisor and Department Chairperson have agreed to waive this requirement.

Complete the following courses:
Complete one of the following courses:
_________________________________ 3 credits needed
_________________________________ 1 course needed
**It is important for students to track their degree progress. Blank lines like the ones listed indicate a requirement is missing.
(appear to the right after each course)
*IP = In progress: The course is currently in progress in the current semester.
*PR = Pre-registered: The course is pre-registered for a future semester.
*TE = Transfer Equivalency: This code designates a transfer course.
IV. Student Responsibility
At Sage, Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet all of their degree program requirements. The Academic Evaluation Report and your faculty advisor can help you do this. Students should:
1. Carefully and thoroughly review your Program Evaluation each semester
2. Have a copy of your Academic Evaluation in front of you when consulting with your faculty advisor and bring it with you to each advisement meeting.
3. Keep in mind that any exceptions (ie, substitutions, waivers) to published requirements for your major must be approved in writing by your faculty advisor
4. Ask questions of your faculty advisor until you fully understand what you need to complete, so you can track your progress toward graduation.
You will see on your Program Evaluation that some courses fulfill requirements in more than one section, but the credits for the course are only counted ONCE. Use the transcript information link in SageAdvisor to verify total number of completed credits.

First-timer Lawson Kane plows hairy sex-pup Zach Alexander! Newbies Stone Fury and Dirk Caber wrestle and fuck! Alessio Romero and Roy Jones spit, suck, and slam! Muscle studs Parker London and Joey Milano take turns pounding each other! And Michael Lucas hammers eager bottom Carsten Andersson!
Hairy, muscled and masculine stud Alessio Romero was inspired to start modeling by sex and cock. This versatile and raunchy sex pig loves flip fucking and his favorite thing about sex is sucking dick. Alessio Romero is turned on by guys with tattoos and facial hair. His interest and hobbies include snowboarding and weight lifting and his favorite place to have sex is anywhere I can.
Blonde, smooth and muscular Carsten Andersson has a thick uncut cock and round perky ass that are both perfect for fucking! Carten isn't shy about showing off his sex-pro skills on camera. This tri-lingual German stud loves deep rimming and his sexual fantasy is to get fucked by a biker gang! Carsten Andersson loves the gym, traveling and sensual massages. The wildest place he has had a good fuck is in a movie theater and his celebrity crush is Tim McGraw.
Midwestern hunk Dirk Caber is a man of many talents. Not only can he milk the cum out of a massive cock but he also plays the ophicleide horn. Dirk is attracted to masculine guys who are good kissers. His fantasy fucks includes him being tied to a bench with a group of thick muscle tops taking turns pounding his eager hole. Dirk Caber loves the connection, intimacy, intensity and sensation of sex. The wildest place he has ever fucked was in the kitchen of a convent! Besides a good sweaty sex session Dirk enjoys music, architecture, fitness, learning languages, books and the arts.
Muscled California-boy Joey Milano loves to get fucked! This insatiable bottom can take it long and hard for hours. In his private life Joey Milano works as a fitness trainer and it shows with his sculpted body. His hidden talent is that he can stick his own cock in his ass! When he is not fucking himself Joey's fantasy fuck would be to get blind folded in bed and have a stranger come in and force fuck him!
Total-top stud Lawson Kane loves to fuck aggressively. He likes hot passionate kissing and his favorite position is topping doggy-style. Lawson Kane went to an all-boys high school where his massive dick must have been the envy on campus. He has had sex in bars, cars and at the beach and he enjoys fucking "anywhere that's hot". Other than a good lay, Lawson's hobbies include going to the gym and any outdoor adventures.
What is there to say about Michael Lucas? A good place to start is the beginning: Lucas Entertainment founder and president Michael Lucas was born in Moscow, Russia, on March 10, 1972. He was raised in Moscow and attended college there, graduating with a degree in law. In 1995, Michael Lucas moved to Germany, then to France, where he began modeling and appearing on several European television programs and covers of many European magazines. In 1998, Lucas opened his own production company, Lucas Entertainment, in New York City. Later that year, he made his directorial debut with the well-received Back in the Saddle. This first production sparked the Michael Lucas "renegade" vision that is indelibly New York. Additionally, basing his company in New York City, as opposed to the more traditional Los Angeles, enabled Lucas to showcase the diversity of types and ethnicities found nowhere else. MIchael Lucas started Lucas Distribution, Inc. in 2004 and LucasBlog.com in 2005. Both are pioneering ventures in the competitive realms of adult video distribution and online media, respectively. In the summer of 2005 he released GayVN's Best Picture of the year, a high-budget adult film remake of Dangerous Liaisons, featuring celebrity cameos from RuPaul, Boy George, Graham Norton, Bruce Vilanch, and Michael Musto. In 2006, filming began on his most buzzed about film ever, Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita. The production included a big-budget fashion show, a sextra-filled club orgy scene, a headline-making fountain scene with Vivid star Savanna Samson. On November 12, 2004, Michael Lucas was proudly sworn in as an American citizen.
Parker London is a big, burly, tattooed hunk of a guy, but don't mistake this all-American Virginia Beach native for being a power-top: Parker's favorite position is to get fucked on his back, and he loves getting rimmed! It's perfect for anyone who loves a sculpted, buff, succulent ass. A carpenter by trade, Parker says the craziest place he's ever had sex is in a church bathroom! While he loves to get it on in restrooms of all varieties, Parker still appreciates the connection that comes with a sexual encounter. His audition scene with Rusty Stevens proves that when it comes to connecting, Mr. London has no trouble tapping in!
Watch Roy get his hole worked over in Cock Cribs and Revenge!
New York native Stone Fury loves the feel and smell of sweat and cum! This muscled stud is attracted to masculine and rugged men who aren't afraid of being bossed around in bed. Stone's fantasy fuck includes corrupting straight-laced guys and helping them unlock their secret fantasies and live out their lusts. His ideal place to have sex is outdoors where there is a sense of danger! Other than fucking Stone Fury loves to sky dive, travel, get tattoos, go camping and visit amusement parks.
Hairy muscle twink Zach Alexander makes his Lucas Entertainment debut in our Empire State epic Kings of New York. German born Zach Alexander loves to show off his hefty uncut cock and perky ass and started modeling to express his sexuality. What turn on Mr. Alexander the most? No physical attributes, says Zach. But chemistry really turns me on. In his spare time he loves to explore art, ballroom dancing and meeting new people.

|May 5, 2014 - Michigan Residents Support Charter Schools, Choice

Vice President of Communications
MRG Poll: Michigan Residents Overwhelmingly Favor Charters & Choice
LANSING, Michigan (May 5, 2014) – As the country observes National Charter Schools Week, a new poll shows that Michigan residents overwhelmingly favor charter schools and educational choice.
A scientific poll of 600 likely voters in Michigan, conducted in March by the Marketing Resource Group (MRG), showed that 82.8 percent of respondents favor giving parents a choice in picking the right school for their child. Only 12.8 percent of respondents said they opposed educational choice.
Support for charter schools was also very strong. The poll showed that 68 percent of Michigan residents favor charter schools, while only 21.3 percent oppose them.
The poll of 600 likely voters was conducted March 24-28 by MRG. It has a margin of error of 4.1 percent.
"Every student deserves a quality education in a quality school, and for that to happen, parents must be empowered to make the right educational choice for their child," said Dan Quisenberry, President of the Michigan Association of Public School Academies (MAPSA), the state charter school association. "It's refreshing to see once again that Michigan residents recognize this. Charter schools are not only extremely popular in Michigan; they're also very successful. Michigan's charter schools have shown that innovation and accountability will lead to high student achievement. As a state, our goal now has to be that every child is enrolled in a quality school."
In the MRG poll, respondents were asked, "Do you favor or oppose giving Michigan parents options when choosing a public school for their children?" A total of 60.8 percent of respondents said they were strongly in favor, while 22 percent were somewhat in favor. Only 7.8 percent strongly opposed school choice, while 5 percent were somewhat opposed.
The poll also asked, "As you may know, charter schools are independent public schools that offer parents an alternative to traditional public schools. Charter schools can be organized by education advocates, as long as they receive approval from a public sponsor such as a school district or a university. Do you favor or oppose charter schools in Michigan?"
A total of 36.5 percent of respondents said that strongly favor charter schools, while 31.5 percent said they somewhat favored them. Only 13.3 percent were strongly opposed to charter schools, while 8 percent were somewhat opposed.
May 4-10 is being observed as National Charter Schools Week across the country, as proclaimed by President Barack Obama.
The president issued a proclamation on Sunday in favor of charter schools, saying, "As independent public schools, charter schools have the ability to try innovative approaches to teaching and learning in the classroom. This flexibility comes with high standards and accountability; charter schools must demonstrate that all their students are progressing toward academic excellence. Those that do not measure up can be shut down. And those that are successful can provide effective approaches for the broader public education system. They can show what is possible -- schools that give every student the chance to prepare for college and career and to develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime."
MAPSA has introduced a new tool to help parents find the right educational choice for their child: ChoicesInEducation.com. The online tool allows parents to search for quality schools in their area, comparing educational models, data and more.
The Michigan Association of Public School Academies advances quality education through choice and innovation. MAPSA has been the unified voice of the public charter school movement in Michigan since 1996. MAPSA represents more than 141,000 students, 6,000 teachers, dozens of authorizers and more than 50 education service providers working in 297 public charter schools in the state. MAPSA assists the state's public charter schools in their mission to deliver achievement, choice and accountability through advocacy, communications, technical assistance and professional development services.
