Call our customer service representatives and get expert advices for your Dremel tool.
Freqently Asked Questions
A: Cordless rotary tools work just like corded rotary tools, only at lower speeds. The Dremel 8200 12VMax Lithium-Ion Cordless, however, delivers the same speed and performance as a corded rotary tool!
A: 1. It uses state of the art Lithium Ion battery technology
a. Lithium ion batteries hold their charge 6 times longer than Ni-Cd batteries while in storage. This means that the tool will always be charged and ready when you need it. For example, if you let a Ni-Cd battery sit for 4 months it will have lost it's entire charge. If you let a lithium ion battery sit for 4 months, it will have over 85% of its original charge remaining.
b. Lithium ion batteries have no memory effects. Standard Ni-Cd batteries must be fully drained before recharging, otherwise they start to experience shorter run times. Lithium-Ion batteries can be recharged at any time without ever damaging the original charge capacity or run time.
c. Lithium ion batteries are light weight. The ergonomic design, comfort grip housing, and lightweight design of this tool all help deliver an extremely comfortable tool.
A: Two years.
A: The Dremel 8200 Lithium-ion cordless rotary tool has a top speed of 30,000 rpm and will deliver the same performance as our corded rotary tool.
The 7.2V Cordless and 4.8V MINIMITE have maximum speeds of 20,000 rpm and 13,000 rpm, respectively. (Our corded tools run at speeds up to 35,000 rpm.) Some accessories, like high-speed cutters, will perform more effectively at speeds faster than 15,000 rpm. The accessories likely to fall into that category are: high-speed cutters, router bits and cut-off wheels. These accessories will work at lower speeds, but not as well.
A: No, we don't recommend any of the batteries or chargers be interchanged. The battery packs are designed to work with the appropriate tool and charger.
A: A new battery pack comes uncharged. It accepts only about 80% of its maximum charge capacity with its first charge, or, after prolonged storage, it will also require additional time on the first charge. However, after several charge and discharge cycles, the batteries should be up to full charge capacity and delivering maximum performance.
A: The battery will last for hundreds of charges. We do recommend that you leave the battery discharged during prolonged periods of nonuse. Run the battery down completely prior to recharge. Don't leave the battery in the charger constantly. Once the battery is charged, remove it from the charger.
The run time on the battery is a little different. Different speeds mean the battery could easily run down faster on the higher speeds. Other factors that will affect the run time are going to be the force put on the tool and the overall load of the work. Under simple grinding applications, a low speed can last up to 30 minutes. On high speed, it is about half that. If carving through a piece of wood with a high-speed cutter, expect the run time to be less. That's a tougher application and the charge will wear down more quickly.
A: The battery pack is the most expensive part of the tool.
A: No, there is no wiring inside of the tool to support either of those power supplies.
A: It's difficult to tell that by simply looking at the pieces. If your battery is not accepting a charge, we would recommend sending the tool, the battery, and the charger in to us. We'll evaluate all three pieces and help resolve your problem as quickly as possible. That takes the guess work out of it.
A: There may be some charge on your battery from the factory. It will be minimal. Place it in the tool and let it discharge completely. Then charge it for a full 24 hours. After the full 24-hour charge, place the battery in the tool and discharge it again, completely. Now recharge the battery for three hours. The battery should be fully charged. We do recommend that you always discharge the Ni-Cd batteries completely prior to recharging and then recharge for no less than 3 hours.
The light on the Lithium-ion battery charger will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
A: The light on the Ni-Cd chargers stays on as long as there is a connection between the battery, the charger and the electrical socket. When the connection is broken, the light goes out. The light on the Lithium-ion battery charger turns off when the battery is fully charged.
A: If you anticipate long periods of nonuse for your tool it's best to unplug your charger and battery pack from its power source. Unplugging the charger will extend the life expectancy of the charger and the battery pack.
A: We do not recommend leaving the battery in the charger continuously. The heat is not good for the life of the battery
A: The 7.2V Cordless MultiPro Tools do have an optional 1-hour charger. For more information, call us at 1-800-437-3635.

January 9, 2013, 06:49 PM
If you were putting a scope on your coyote rifle what power would you get if the shots would be anywhere from 50-400 yds. :a 6-18,a 6-24,a 4-16 or a 4-12?Thanks for replying.

2-7X would be my choice. It's easy to over-scope for coyotes because the sneaky bastids have a habit of coming in really close. Some prefer 1-4X or 1.5-5X, but I'm a fan of the old 2-7X. There are reasonable offerings from Leupold, Weaver, and Redfield.
January 10, 2013, 11:23 AM
I use 3x-9x-40 and leave them set on 3x about 90% of the time.
You need wide field of view when they are running at 50 yards much more then 12x or more when they are standing still at 400 yards.
We killed them at 350-400+ yards for years here in Kansas with a K4 Weaver, before people on the internet told us you can't do that.
January 10, 2013, 11:54 AM
I'm also clearly in the 1.5-6x or 2x-7x camp. My experience mirrors rcmodels as well - it's much more common that you spot them inside of 100 yards than not.
January 19, 2013, 10:06 PM
My coyote rifle has a Leupold 6x-18x a/o. It is perfect for the task.
January 20, 2013, 12:09 AM
2.5-10x though the last couple coyotes I killed with a rifle wearing a 2.5-16x, my 7mm WSM elk rifle. All my hunting rifles have a 2-2.5 bottom end magnification scope on them. An AR that I built specifically for coyotes has a 4-16x on it, but it's shooting so poorly that it may never see a stand.
January 20, 2013, 09:40 AM
My varmint gun is a .204. I,m pretty sure that I'm about out of gun at 400yds.
I use 3x-9x-40 and leave them set on 3x about 90% of the time.
^what he said^
January 20, 2013, 11:38 AM
My open country rifle wears a fixed 6X. My timber rifle wears a 2-7X, and still has irons. Only my match rifles have more magnification. A 4-12 wouldn't be too bad though. I still prefer my fixed powers though.
January 20, 2013, 01:18 PM
No more than 3X on the low end. As has been said you use the low powers a lot more. I've always liked the 2-7's and am moving more toward 1-4's.
January 27, 2013, 04:05 PM
Considering my skill level, most of my shots will be in the 50-100yd. range.
If I shoot out to 200 yds thats a reach for me. If I can call them in close a shotgun might do nicely. I might just stay with my 4x .22-250 or 6x 6mm.
January 28, 2013, 08:41 PM
I am also trying to scope a coyote rifle. The rifle will be a CZ 527 bolt action in .223. Because of the rifle, I am limited to a 30mm tube and maximum 44mm front objective. I am looking at the Leica 3.5-14x42 and IOR 2.5-10x42. The IOR is FFP and has an illuminated reticle. The Leica does not have an illuminated reticle and is SFP. The Leica has MOA adjustments and the IOR is in Mils.
So what do you think?
January 28, 2013, 08:47 PM
I still think the same thing I said in post #3.
A 2x-7x or 3x-9x is more power then you need.
Especially given the limited effective range for one-shot kills of the .223.
A 300 yard coyote appers to be only 21 yards away through a 14X scope.
You can throw a rock that far and hit him if you could only find him in the narrow field-of-view!
You will miss way more coyote shots with too much power then not enough.
But I have only hunted coyotes in the Kansas plains & Colorado foothills for 50+ years.
January 28, 2013, 09:03 PM
I completely value your opinion! Do you think the IOR scope I mentioned is suitable? Can you tell me exactly what scope you would recommend? I am willing to spend the money on quality optics! Please don't that that as me being an optc snob!
January 28, 2013, 09:07 PM
IMHO: A Leupold 2x-7x-33 would be a perfect size coyote scope on a little CZ-527.
I've got a 3x-9x-40 on mine and it runs on 3x about 90% of the time.
January 28, 2013, 09:15 PM
What reticle in the Leupold line would you recommend? Can you give me the exact Leupold scopes that you like? Finally can you tell me if your opinion changes any if I tell you I also like to shoot paper at 300 yards. I typically shoot groups at 300 yards with nothing less than 12x. I am willing to improve my skills!
January 28, 2013, 09:20 PM
I prefer the Dual-X reticule in hunting scopes.
If 300 yard target shooting is also in the cards, that changes things.
Just be aware that a good coyote scope with a wide field of view is not the same thing as a good 300 yard target scope with a lot of magnification and narrow field of view.
I can't help you make that decision.
You will have to decide which use is more important to you.
January 28, 2013, 09:55 PM
Sent you a PM.
January 30, 2013, 10:03 AM
I use a 2.5-15x56 Swarovski with the brh reticle on a 22-250
February 2, 2013, 07:26 AM
I have a Taurus Raging Hornet in 22 Hornet with a Leupold 2x-7x that lays handy in the truck most of the time. Most varmint shots 75 to 125 yards get done with it. Anything out of pistol range it depends on if I have my general purpose truck rifle or one of my varmint rifles. Normal truck rifle is 308 w Leupold 2x-gu7x. Varmint rifle will be a myriad of choices. Primary is custom 22-250 with Leupold 5x-20x. Sometimes have my 25-06 w Leupold 4x-16x or 6.5-06 with 6x-18x. So for me small differences in scope don't matter hugely. Most important is knowing how each is set. I print up a 3"x 5" lamented card for each rifle after it is sighted in. The card reminds me is where the scope is set for. Nothing worse than a clean miss because I % doping my rifle incorrectly. My card has point blank range based on its kill zone for my three most popular critters. It also has a chart with bullet rise and drop for that rifle. I had a had a head injury 3 years ago and either that or getting dumber as I age forces me to have the card with me or a phone application for chosen caliber. Can do basic math in my head but having help with specific applications makes it easier.
February 3, 2013, 03:14 PM
I have a nikon monarch bdc 5x20! on a 17 hmr. Punches a lot of paper and has taken many of squirrel heads. I wouldnt shoot anything bigger than a ground hog over 60 yards. I have had less than 1 moa of 5 rounds on a few days with NO wind. A coyote id ahoot at 50 or less w no problems. All about bullet placement. Its like a mini sniper rifle.
Does anyone know if they make sub sonic 17 rnds?
February 3, 2013, 03:21 PM
No, they don't.
February 3, 2013, 04:32 PM
I think a pellet gun fits that criteria!
February 3, 2013, 07:36 PM
I've got a 6-20x50 VXIII on my 22-250. It's sure nice for prairie hunting! It will reach out and touch them.

On the night before he was assassinated, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a powerful speech at Mason Temple in Memphis, Tenn., where sanitation workers were demanding respect and fair treatment.
If you go
WHAT: Pure Theatre's "The Mountaintop" by Katori HallWHEN: 7:30 p.m. March 29, 30, April 4-6, 11-13 and 18-20; 2 p.m. April 7WHERE: Pure Theatre, 477 King St.COST: $30, $15 student rushMORE INFO: puretheatre.org, firstname.lastname@example.com, 723-4444
He spoke of the trials of history; he advocated economic boycott; he referred to Jesus and the dangers of the Jericho Road; and he shared an anecdote about the "demented black woman" who stabbed him with a letter opener at a Harlem bookstore in 1958, nearly puncturing his aorta.
He told those gathered that he had received various condolence letters after the attack, but remembered clearly only one of those notes. It had come from a local schoolgirl.
Dear Dr. King,
I am a ninth-grade student at the White Plains High School. While it should not matter, I would like to mention that I'm a white girl. I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering. And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.
King said he, too, was glad he did not sneeze, for if he had sneezed, he would have missed so many of the remarkable achievements of the civil rights movement. And then, as he began to reach the end of his speech on that stormy April evening, King's oratory lost some of its organized thrust.
"And they were telling me ... Now, it doesn't matter, now. It really doesn't matter what happens now."
He referred to the threats, the dangers, the warnings. And then, in an emotional flourish, he uttered those prescient, moving words so many know by heart:
"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind.
"Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land!"
Afterward, he lingered to greet the laborers and others in attendance, then spent some time on the town, returning to his room, No. 306, at the Lorraine Motel, in the small hours of the morning.
He spent the next day at the motel, consulting with colleagues, strategizing on the phone and receiving updates about the court hearing then under way. By late afternoon, he was preparing for dinner when he stepped onto the balcony.
The shot came at 6:01 p.m.
All of this is the context and backdrop of Katori Hall's 2011 Olivier Award-winning play, "The Mountaintop," which opens in the black box of Charleston's Pure Theatre on March 29, and runs through April 20.
The play itself is a supernatural imagining of what might have transpired inside Room 306 on that stormy night, a fictional rendering meant to humanize an iconic figure.
"There's so much information out there, but there's nothing that cuts to the core of how you deal with knowing that there's a bullet waiting for you," Hall told her alma mater's Columbia Magazine in 2011. "I wanted to dramatically represent that in a way that could affect people, could move people, and, maybe, could change people's lives. This man stepped up, in spite of. This man changed the world, in spite of."
Sharon Graci, co-founder of Pure Theatre, is directing the production, which stars Kyle Taylor as King and Joy Vandervort-Cobb as Cammae, a maid unintimidated by the legendary man before her.
Graci said the play shows King assessing his efforts on Earth in a way that sheds light on personal concerns.
"It's incredibly moving," Graci said. "Even if you have only a rudimentary understanding of the life of Dr. King, Katori Hall has (presented) those main events in an accessible way."
Pure's production will include multimedia elements that speak to a modern audience, she said. But the focus always remains on "the rawness of the human condition," Graci said. "The arts in general teach us about our humanity, they teach us to be humane."
Vandervort-Cobb, who teaches theater, acting and stage management at the College of Charleston, and who directs some of its productions, said she's been longing to work with Pure Theatre and quickly agreed to be in "The Mountaintop," even if she had reservations about how to play a character written for a younger woman.
"But Sharon said she's not going to deal with the age," Vandervort-Cobb said. And this was fine with her. "I love the work they do. I love contemporary theater. I love the chances they take."
It's a difficult play: two characters, lots of dialogue and a sacred context of actual history. All of this presents a challenge to the actors, she said.
Graci and her actors have long discussions that lead to discoveries about character and theater, Vandervort-Cobb said. They break down the script and collaboratively explore its meaning.
The character Cammae is used to bring out King's essential humanity.
"He was just a man. He felt real pain, had a family he loved. But he was carrying the weight of this movement," she said.
In the play, King reveals how much he missed at home — birthdays, celebrations, watching his kids learn how to ride a bike, "because he was working for the world."
"He was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to us, but he was Daddy to somebody," Vandervort-Cobb said.
And some of the lines of the play are so poignant, it can be a challenge to stay in character, she said.
For example, Cammae asks King to name "one thing that Negro folks and white folks have in common."
His response? "We're all afraid."
Graci said the play, which premiered in London to rave reviews and appeared on Broadway starring Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett, is perfect for an intimate, 100-seat venue like Pure's black box.
And it's a good example of the company's determination to remain focused on artistry, contemporary theater and cultivating a core group of talented actors, she said.
Now concluding its 10th season, Pure Theatre has struggled to find its niche over the years, both physical and artistic. Lately, Graci has enjoyed a sense of satisfaction. "I've been trying to put a finger on what happened for me," Graci said. "One day I woke up and realized what we've been working toward has been accomplished."
The foundation is built. The productions are drawing patrons. Now Pure will strive to improve, learn, stretch, challenge itself, Graci said.
"I'm done apologizing; not everything we do will appeal to everyone," she said. "But this feels like coming home."

5 True Stories Behind the Most Badass Photographs Ever Taken
#2. Come at Me, Bear
This is not Steampunk Pinhead. This is not the formal tux of Ron Maiden, lead singer of Iron Maiden. This is a Russian Bear-Hunting Suit. Or at least that's what it says whenever this picture pops up: "Russian Bear-Hunting Armor," "Siberian Bear-Hunting Suit," "18th Century Bear Armor." Whatever, it's generally agreed that this is insane and Eastern European, and has something to do with bears. Which, to be fair, is true of pretty much all of Russian history. Dig a little deeper into the comments, though, and you'll usually find some controversy: This isn't real, they say. It's actually part of an exhibit in the Menil Collection called Wunderkammer.
Wunderkammer is a surrealist "room of wonders" where objects that have inspired various surrealist artists are displayed. Buzzkill Internet assholes (like myself) love to point out that this suit is just an art piece and not likely to have been used to wade through an ocean of furious, impotent ursine opponents. However, those buzzkilling bastards are missing some vital information: The plaque beneath this suit reads "'Wildman' costume, 18th or 19th century, Germany or Switzerland. Two-piece leather hunting suit with wood spikes and iron chain." See, Subsonic the Hedgehog up there is not a surrealist art piece at all -- it's just a piece that inspired a surrealist artist. This bear suit was, at some point, earnestly built for use by hunters. So back in the 18th century, a bunch of Swiss got together and pondered the question of what could be done about the gargantuan slavering predators that kept hugging them to death.
The answer, obviously, was "hug those bitches back."
#1. The Crying Guardsman
Wait, what is a sobbing man in goofy headgear doing on a list of badass images? He looks like a preteen girl watching The Notebook -- or any man on Earth watching a dog die in an action movie. What's his deal?
This is an Evzone, an elite Greek presidential guard, and this photograph was taken during a riot. So, what, he's crying to see what's become of his country? Nope! The Evzones are, in part, responsible for maintaining vigil over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Their duties are largely ceremonial, much like the famous Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace. In short, they are not to react to external stimuli unless it threatens the tomb, and they are not to be moved from their post under any circumstance. Even under penalty of chemical attack. That's important, see, because this particular Evzone is standing, absolutely immobile, inside a giant cloud of tear gas.
The photo of the crying guardsman was taken during a protest for the Parnitha forest held in Syntagma Square, which also just happens to house the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Riot police deployed tear gas on the protesters when they got out of hand (or more likely, just because they were bored), and the Evzone, caught in the crossfire, just stood there and took it without so much as a twitch. This feat is especially impressive when you consider two things: The Evzones dress like somebody making fun of a Keebler elf, and they are proud members of the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Also, this isn't any old riot: It's a Greek riot. And nobody riots like the Greeks. Look up "the Greek riots" in a Google Image search and it not only shows you a page of photos that looks like somebody made a scrapbook out of Michael Bay's soul, but also asks you to be more specific.
And up there is an Evzone hanging out in the middle of a Greek riot, looking like a racist Christmas ornament and moving like a Monty Python sketch, just baaarely misting up after being blinded by tear gas. Man, if you didn't already feel like a pussy for crying at the end of The Iron Giant, you sure as hell do now.

Vermeil 2009 Zinfandel Luvisi 750ml
Winery Notes: Earned a 92 from Wine Enthusiast and a 93 from The Connoisseurs Guide to California Wines. Filled out with compelling and long-lasting Zinfandel fruit and remarkably adept at managing its high ripeness, this gusty, full-bodied youngster is exceptionally well-balanced for the big wine that it is. Rather than running to softness, it firms and tightens up as it goes, and its fine spine of integral tannins tags it as one that will only get better if allowed four or five years of age--Vermeil Wines
Composition: 86% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah
Vineyards: Luvisi "1908" 86%, Frediani 14%
Production: 900 Cases

Frustrations continued to boil during a public meeting Tuesday night over the impasse between the Buffalo Public Schools and its teachers union over a teacher evaluation plan – a stalemate that threatens to suck more than $50 million in state aid and grant money out of the district.
"What we have in front of us right now is a situation where [the union] is holding our citizens hostage because they just don't want to be evaluated. And that is just not acceptable," said L. Nathan Hare, executive director of the Community Action Organization of Erie County.
"Now, I don't know what our leverage is," Hare said. "People are talking about boycotting and holding the kids out of school. I've got other people talking about home-schooling every kid in the City of Buffalo. I don't want to get into tracks that don't take us to someplace we can control."
More than a dozen speakers at a Common Council education subcommittee meeting expressed the view that the Buffalo Teachers Federation is holding students hostage by refusing to negotiate a new annual teacher evaluation plan with the School Board.
Despite the lamentations, no specific plan was advanced to bring teachers to the bargaining table.
More than $33 million in state aid to the district, and an additional $25.3 million in grants, hinges on whether the union and the School Board can hammer out an agreement in time to meet a Jan. 17 deadline.
Samuel L. Radford III, president of the District Parent Coordinating Committee, said Tuesday was an effort to get city lawmakers to use their influence to persuade the teachers union to resume negotiations. It was prompted by a presentation by Buffalo Schools Superintendent Pamela C. Brown.
"We're here today because the superintendent gave a presentation before the Board of Education last Wednesday where she let us know, essentially, that what we thought was already resolved was not resolved," Radford said.
The School Board and the union have been here before. The point of contention between the administration and the union continues to be the state-mandated system for evaluating teacher effectiveness and prescribing remedies for struggling teachers.
Last year, BTF President Philip Rumore grudgingly agreed to work out an evaluation pact with the district, but the pact applied only to some teachers and expired at the end of the last school year.
The sticking point for working out an evaluation plan for this school year, Rumore has said, is the fact that district officials are continuing a court battle over the involuntary transfer of 53 teachers from three low-performing schools.
An arbitrator ruled that the transfers violated the union contract, and a State Supreme Court justice upheld the ruling. The district is appealing the case, prompting the union's Council of Delegates in September to vote to suspend negotiations on the evaluation plan until the district drops its court fight.
"Why should our children pay the price because [the BTF] can't get [its] way on the teacher transfer issue?" Radford asked Tuesday.
"They're willing to sacrifice our children for their benefit," he said, adding that since most BTF members are not city residents and do not have children attending schools in the district, "they don't have the same kind of skin in the game that we have."
At-large School Board member John B. Licata and Park District member President Louis Petrucci were the only two board members to attend Tuesday's meeting. Licata appealed for help from the community to persuade the BTF to return to the negotiating table.
"I've got skin in the game, but I can't do this alone," Licata said.
The School Board, he said, cannot act unilaterally and must negotiate with the BTF on a new teacher evaluation agreement.
"We're stuck with the solution provided to us by the state government and the federal government," Licata said.
Assemblywoman Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes, D-Buffalo, expressed hope that Rumore will eventually come to the bargaining table before the deadline, as he has done in the past.
"If you watch his pattern, he will change," Peoples-Stokes said.
Still, she expressed frustration that much-needed resources for the district hang in the balance.
"When we have the kind of graduation rates we have in Buffalo and the kind of academic performance that we have in so many schools, we don't need less resources. We need more," Peoples-Stokes said.
Other speakers at Tuesday's meeting focused on what they believe are programs needed to inspire low- performing students to do better academically.

North Korea is a country in asia where people are HEAVILY opressed in the ways of religion, political beleifs, how much FOOD they eat, and damn near everthing else. About 90% percent of the people in NK want someone to save them from there crazy dicator Kim Jong il.
Of course we in the the U.S. like it much better in Iraq, a place where 90% of the people DIDN'T want us there, had no WMDs, and is full of terrorists who came out because we came in.

von Doki Doki Attack! 30. November 2009
The most worthless "country" in the world. Their "WMDs" can only fly 35 seconds before falling apart. Their soldiers are starving and are still using low-quality guns and equipment dating back to the end of WW2. The people have no food to eat, yet the dumbass leader Kim Jong Il spends 700 grand USD on Hennessy Cognac every year.
North Korea is a failure as a country.
von VirusHouse 3. November 2007
A communist country ran by a short and ugly dictator named Kim Jung Il. It is the only country in the world where the government (rarely) distributes food to you and you can't get it anywhere else unless you enjoy tree bark and grass. It is the only country where concentration camps thrive. It is the only country where everyone shares one religion: Kim Jung-il.
North Korea: the greatest theocracy in the world!
North Korea: the greatest theocracy in the world!
When I used to live in South Korea, my school asked me and others to donate money to buy grain for the North Koreans. About three years later, I found out that the donations went and will go to the military. This is why South Korea must reunite with her northern neighbor to get rid of this hellhole. I wish Bush would just nuke the Kims, but what can I expect from him?
von Kenny McCor 8. Juli 2006
A country ruled by a sick looking dictator. The horrible things about North Korea was listed by many,so I don't think it's necessary here. It should've been invaded,i mean,liberated by USA a long time ago,but the yanks just didn't do it. Why,you ask? The answer is simple: North Korea got the real WMDs,just like Iran,and both those countries are backed by powerful forces. It's sad that USA and its allies can just sit and bark,because those two are not Iraq..
I don't think USA will bring the so called liberty to North Korea anytime soon.Well,just wish that someday I could go for a peaceful walk with people from that country,someday..

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
MSM Protein Technologies (MSM) signed separate deals with Merck Serono and Debiopharm focused on the development of antibodies against multispanning GPCR targets. Under the R&D collaboration with Merck Serono, MSM will receive an up-front payment in addition to development and commercialization milestones as well as product royalties.
The deal includes not only GPCR targets but also other cell membrane targets. The company will also provide its technology and expertise for displaying selected targets in their native form and work with Merck Serono's scientists to apply the technologies in various drug discovery platforms.
MSM's deal with Debiopharm will see the companies work together to identify antibodies against the latter's novel GPCR target, Debio 0929, for new oncology applications. After the discovery phase, Debiopharm will have a worldwide, exclusive license for developing and commercializing any resulting antibody products. MSM will retain marketing rights for Russia, Ukraine, and certain other countries in Eastern Europe and Asia.
Davis Pharma, MSM's chairman, calls the Debiopharm deal "transformational" for his company. "It represents our first jointly owned program with a global partner."
Rolland-Yves Mauvernay, president and founder of Debiopharm, describes the agreement as a "win-win" situation. "We usually license-in compounds with existing animal proof of concept, but we were seduced by MSM's technology and their expertise in the generation of antibodies aimed at GPCRs."
Established in 2005 to commercialize technology originally developed by the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, MSM concentrates on generating, selecting, and optimizing human antibodies against multispanning membrane protein targets. Multispanners are integral membrane proteins comprising polypeptide chains that traverse the lipid bilayer several times and are often intractable to current drug discovery approaches, MSM points out. The company's technologies including SIMPL™ and magnetic proteoliposome particle platforms allow multispanners such as GPCRs to be displayed in highly concentrated and purified form while retaining native conformation and orientation. The company says this maximizes the potential for raising functional antibodies against them.

But they are on here posting everyday non stop. Asking dumb questions about nothing important. Would it not be better to spend some time learning something so some time after the baby is born you can better your lives. I would teach myself shorthand or learn drinks to bartend or waitress, maybe sell some stuff I don't need on eBay. Not crying on here how poor I am boo- hoo
And no I do not care about what anyone does, if they want to live in poverty forever good for them. Just wondering why some post about being so broke but i usually never hear about what they are doing about it,

Associated Press file photo
Associated Press file photo
PITTSBURGH Ė The breathtaking model on your magazine cover: Of course sheís not that thin and unblemished. That reality show you never miss? Youíre shocked Ė shocked that its real-life drama isnít 100 percent unscripted. And that diva who may or may not have mouthed the words to the national anthem to her own prerecorded voice? Yeah, well, so what? It was a big moment, and she wanted to sound her best.
In America these days, in countless tiny ways, much of what we see and experience isnít exactly what it seems. We know it, too. And often we donít care, because what weíre getting just seems to ďpopĒ more than its garden-variety, without-the-special-sauce counterpart.
Whether Beyoncť actually sang at last weekís presidential inauguration Ė the juryís still out, and sheís kept silent Ė is, on the surface, the textbook teapot tempest. Dig deeper, though, and the conversation Ė or lack of it Ė reveals something important about society at this moment. The big question is no longer whether reality matters. That ship sailed long ago. More to the point is this: Can reality compete?
ďItís as if the fakery has become satisfactory,Ē says Jonathan Vankin, co-writer of ďForever Dusty,Ē a musical that takes events from the life of the late soul singer Dusty Springfield and Ė carefully Ė dramatizes them.
ďI think almost everyone knows that weíre constantly being fed unreality. And yet there seems to be very little curiosity about figuring out whatís really going on,Ē says Vankin, who also has written extensively about how real historical events are represented in fictional settings.
Reality isnít perfect
Many, including some of Beyoncťís fans and friends, consider the inauguration debate ridiculous because, after all, even if she was lip-syncing she was doing it to her own powerful voice. Fair enough. That ignores, however, two aspects of live performance.
First is what some consider an implicit contract between a performer and a live audience Ė the expectation that the audience deserves a performance thatís in the moment and that might, just might, even be affected by the presence of the crowd. If none of that happens, then why not stay home, skip the hassle and listen to your iPod? And second, the version of Beyoncťís voice that might be recorded in a studio Ė with potential help from digital enhancement and ďsweeteningĒ Ė could be quite different from the one produced live on a windy, wintry January day.
ďReality is complicated, messy and uncertain. We want it to be shrink-wrapped and labeled clearly,Ē says Mark Carnes, general editor of Past Imperfect: History According to the Movies and a historian at Barnard College. ďWe prefer the crisp clarity of sound bites and slogans to the blaring cacophony of the world around us.Ē
Itís hardly just music. These examples of artifice in miniature pop up everywhere in American culture Ė so much so that we hardly even notice it.
The artifice all around us
We take it for granted that our Cheetos and Doritos are bright orange Ė because thatís the color that says ďreally cheesyĒ to us. We purchase Yankee Candles called ďHome Sweet HomeĒ that evoke ďa heartwarming blend of cinnamon, baking spices and a hint of freshly poured teaĒ Ė even if we have no intention of doing any baking or brewing whatsoever. We buy ďmovie theater butterĒ popcorn that has nothing to do with either movie theaters or butter.
Fundraisers sending out bulk mail now commonly use envelopes shaped like personal greeting cards and do their utmost to make the address look like itís handwritten expressly to you, sometimes even adding ďpersonal notesĒ that are ďwrittenĒ diagonally across the back. And at Walt Disney World, ground zero of artifice, you can go for a ďCaribbeanĒ vacation or a visit to ďMoroccoĒ without ever encountering the inconvenient realities of the actual locations such as, say, upset stomachs and poor people.
And digital photo retouching: The tools of artifice, once accessible only to professionals, have gone democratic. Now manipulators by the millions can use something called a ďclone toolĒ to erase blemishes, unwanted features and entire people. With the tap of a smartphone touchscreen, you can make an image taken seconds ago look like a ďvintageĒ snapshot from a 1972 Polaroid or a 19th-century tintype. A few years ago, HP even released a camera that had a ďslimming feature,Ē allowing you to choose just how much girth you wanted to remove for Facebook or the family album.
But it is in entertainment Ė a realm custom built for artifice Ė that this notion plays out most broadly.
Consider Mike Daisey, the performer who blends journalism and monologue into a compelling hybrid that he used last year in a show about uncovering Appleís business practices in China. Trouble was, when he took it to ďThis American LifeĒ and the national airwaves, some of his ďresearchĒ in China didnít hold up to scrutiny. Some things he described hadnít happened; others had happened, but not as he recounted them. Did he have a responsibility to tell the truth, or was his a dramatic performance with understandable artistic license?
ďIím not going to say that I didnít take a few shortcuts in my passion to be heard,Ē Daisey said on a ďThis American LifeĒ follow-up about his rearranging of the facts.
Even the sordid saga of Lance Armstrong, which might seem to share little with the inaugural singing question, can teach us something. Sure, the main issues are that he doped, cheated and intimidated those who would have exposed him. But he, too, offered a not-quite-real public performance that, when you pull back the curtain, broke an implicit contract with his audience.
Are we tired of being tricked?
In a nation already disgusted by media bias Ė a September Gallup poll showed 60 percent of Americans have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news accurately and fairly Ė does this stuff that dances at the edges have any effect in the long run? Itís a difficult thing to measure, but just consider: If little things in life arenít what they seem, how well does that bode for our society?
ďMaybe, just maybe, weíre all a little tired of being tricked, be it great trickery or be it small trickery,Ē says Virginia Lee Blood, a musician and singer in Nashville, Tenn.
More than that, though, are we setting up unrealistic expectations about the world, piece by tiny piece? How could that boring slice of real cheese be any good if itís not bright orange and doesnít ďpopĒ with artificial Cheetos flavor? How can you be satisfied with your romantic partner when every smidgen of media in the checkout line hands you ridiculously unattainable images of human perfection? And how can you persuade a young girl who wants to grow up to sing like Beyoncť that, yes, with practice and hard work, she might belt out the national anthem at the inauguration or sing in a Super Bowl halftime show one day Ė if such performances turn out to be not entirely what they seem?
Even Kurt Cobain, whose music was welcomed by many as a burst of show-business authenticity, struggled with the issue. In his 1994 suicide note he weighed in once more, this time about pretending to be enthusiastic on stage. ďThe worst crime I can think of,Ē Cobain wrote, ďwould be to rip people off by faking it.Ē
Of course, his band Nirvana also produced, much more famously, six words that encapsulated the era in which we live Ė and give us what is perhaps the ultimate verdict on this issue. ďHere we are now,Ē he sang. ďEntertain us.Ē

Extreme ASP.NET Makeover: Mr. Escher, Your Software is Ready - Dependency
- Posted: Sep 11, 2009 at 11:17AM
Right click "Save as…"
As we saw, the Host class delegates to a whole host of Singletons (bad pun intended), including Settings, Users, Pages, Snippets, NavigationPaths, and AuthWriter. Each of these Singletons refers to other Singletons, creating a morass of dependencies. Before we start refactoring Host, we need some tests in place to ensure that we are not breaking anything. Configuration of the application and infrastructure is done by the ApplicationBootstrapper, which we introduced in Part 8. Our tests are going to execute ApplicationBootstrapper.Configure, as shown in Figure 2, and then verify that IHostV30 can be resolved from the IoC container as well as that various Singletons are still configured properly. Note that the IoC is initialized to null after every test to ensure that the tests don't interfere with one another.
Figure 2 Tests Execute ApplicationBootstrapper.Configure
[TestFixture] public class AfterTheApplicationBootstraperIsExecuted { [Test] public void IHostCanBeResolvedFromTheContainer() { IoC.Resolve<IHostV30>(); } [Test] public void CacheInstanceIsInitialized() { Assert.That(Cache.Instance, Is.Not.Null); } public void SettingsInstanceIsInitialized() { Assert.That(Settings.Instance, Is.Not.Null); } [Test] public void AuthReaderInstanceIsInitialized() { Assert.That(AuthReader.Instance, Is.Not.Null); } [Test] public void AuthWriterInstanceIsInitialized() { Assert.That(AuthWriter.Instance, Is.Not.Null); } [SetUp] public void SetUp() { new ApplicationBootstrapper().Configure(); } [TearDown] public void TearDown() { IoC.Initialize(null); } }

It was a spot in the middle of Goose Creek that was an unincorporated eyesore for a decade.
Now its shaping into a storage facility and office area that should accommodate a number of needs in the area while giving the former Food Lion a much-needed facelift.
The process of changing the St. James Avenue shopping center has been in the works for seven years. In August the property was annexed from Berkeley County into Goose Creek city limits.
By December work had begun to turn into a storage facility. Universal Storage Solutions is expected to open sometime in the next few days and weeks.
There will be a community appreciation grand opening on May 10 with a car show, jump castle, popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones.
Universal Storage will be home to boat and RV storage along with 300 storage units, some small offices for upstart businesses and heated and cooled units.
On a recent day Management Blueprints President Jay Wallace was found roping small trees onto wooden stakes that were knocked down during a weekend storm.
The area along Bridgetown Road is now landscaped with budding green trees, shrubs and fresh pine straw.
Were predominately going to serve the Crowfield area, Wallace said. Weve got small offices for rent.
So far the exterior has been repainted. Several interior storage units and offices are near completion. The interior of the 55,000 square-foot structure is naturally cool even on a warm afternoon due to its size.
Wallace said he is the contractor on this project and has been working with owner Albert Heyward for 30 years. Wallace was born in Charleston and has lived in the area his entire life.
We had to fully re-do the perimeter façade, Wallace said. We repainted the back. Were having to line the property with a high-end aluminum picket fence.
This place was a blight to the community. We do a lot of rehab. When we find a place like this that needs some TLC we step in.
Vandals broke into the building when it was vacant. Wallace said he believes all the copper was stolen by someone tying pipes to a four-wheeler and driving off with them.
They hooked up all the wiring and took off . . . There was more graffiti than you could shake a stick at, he said.
Some of the graffiti was on the brick exterior and the city had painted over it. To remove this Wallace used a method called sandblasting.
This method uses fine sand, water and a pressure washer to remove paint and graffiti. Now there are only tiny traces of paint in some of the front brick crevices.
There will be a gate around the perimeter of the property and a gate at the front of the building.
The whole property is locked down 24/7, he said. There are two loading bays and covered boat and RV parking.
The small offices will have wireless internet, mail service, a scanner and a coffee/break area. There will also be U-Haul rentals available.

maybe, just maybe, purchasing a second 24-105 just in case it gets eliminated from the lineup.

Quote from: SJTstudios on November 01, 2012, 02:14:21 PM"rumored" canon 14-24 l 2.8 + 24-70 2.8 ii + 70-200 2.8 is ii - this is the pro setup.Some f4 wide angle (ex. 12-24 f4) + 24-70 f4 is + canon 70-200 f4 is -enthusiast setupI think the f/2.8 wide angle will be 14-24mm, but I think the f/4 will be 16-35 IS to directly compete in all aspects with the Nikon lens. That will make it wider than the current f/4, sharper (as pretty much all lenses have been over their predecessors) and likely more expensive. Hopefully, Canon will come out with cheaper variable aperture [or non-IS] UWA to replace the long-extinct 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM for the lower end of the budget (~$500), as well. Think about this (as a beginner):Canon 6D + '24-70mm f/4 IS' = $2600 (same price as Nikon D600 kit)Canon '18-35mm f/4' or '16-35mm non-IS' = $500Canon 70-200mm f/4 USM = $630TOTAL = $3730Pretty sweet [theoretical] package for <$4000, right? Not that 2 of the three lenses even exist, but it is certainly possible.
Congratulations! At the MSRP of 1500$ for the 24-70 f/4L IS. This lens is nowDOA.
Quote from: RLPhoto on November 06, 2012, 08:34:31 AMCongratulations! At the MSRP of 1500$ for the 24-70 f/4L IS. This lens is nowDOA.I agree if purchased separately, but the theory was all along that this price will be just a marketing joke to be able to sell heavily "discounted" kits with the 6d making the new camera body more attractive.
I'm wondering at this rate if i should pick up another 24-105L now just in case they ever get discontinuedmines gets used alot and if it ever breaks I would have nothing to replace it with
Why in hell would I care about lens size over usability?
Guys like it or loathe it, Canon sees the future in smaller/lighter FF DSLR bodies, that implies lighter lenses (more plasticky, shorter etc.)
It's just and again the price tag that clouds the sky and the assumption that Canon does not want to give people the choice but wants to engineer them into buying more expensive gear than they'd like. And imho it's still the aftermath of the 5d3 price shock, Canon simply being greedy and thus alienating their former loyal customers.

Can A 15 Week-Old Really Scratch An Itch?Naomi Odes
Today, I had the extraordinarily fun task of dealing with my sick two-year-old and Fuzzball. It was a juggling act to say the least, but we made it through. It was kind of like my 5pm to 8pm hell, but all day long. Anyway, as I was trying to get Shnook down for a nap, I put Fuzz down in the co-sleeper for a few minutes and left the room. When I came back, his little fuzzy head was all pink and flakey, and there was a pile of skin (gross, I know) above his head on the sheet. I know this is cradle cap, or as my mom calls it: "cradle crap." But I was not aware that it was uncomfortable for baby. After a little googling, it appears that it can be itchy.
Another thing I didn't realize was that babies as young as three and a half months could control their limbs enough to scratch a part of their body.
I googled this phenomenon as well, but found no clear answer. Now, to be fair, I did not witness the scratching, but I'm fairly sure that's what happened. I am guilty of leaving him with dagger-like nails since he only lets me cut one or two at a time when he's awake and I always forget to cut them when he's asleep. Plus, I really do fear he'll wake up.
Regardless, he didn't cry, so I guess he's okay. I looked up some remedies for cradle cap and it seems like most people use olive oil or another pure oil and then brush out the flakes. I will try that tomorrow.
Did your baby have cradle cap and scratch it?

Equipped and styled like its bigger siblings in our Mod V lineup, the TRACKER Pro 165 is one of the most affordable ways to join the Pro line of America's favorite fishing boats. It turns in a strong performance wherever it goes on its all-welded .100 aluminum hull with a wide, stable 54" (1.37 m) bottom.
It's a Pro all over-equipped with a Lowrance® X50 DS fishfinder, trolling motor, 15-gallon aerated bow livewell and powered by an eager Mercury® outboard-all riding on a factory-matched TRACKER trailer.
This is one smooth-riding, value-packed fishing boat.
Using less fuel when you tow it, and less fuel when you get to the lake, that adds up to MORE FISH PER GALLON!
Have a question about the 2012 Tracker Boats Bass & Panfish Mod V Pro 165?

Enroll Now!
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Our first lesson guides you step by step as you download, install, and set up Key Pro 5. You'll also get acquainted with the program, learning about the home row keys and the reach to the i key on the QWERTY keyboard. Are you confused about what home row and QWERTY mean? Don't worry—I'll explain it all.
Now that you're getting comfortable with the home row on the QWERTY keyboard, it's time to introduce you to some new keys. Today you'll learn the proper techniques for lowercase letters. You'll also use Key Pro 5 to practice the reaches to the e and the n. Also, is all this typing causing you aches and pains? You'll find out how to reduce fatigue while typing. The good habits you learn today will pay off in the future!
In this lesson, you'll learn four new keystrokes: left SHIFT, h, t, and period (.). I'll also provide some tips on improving speed and accuracy and introduce you to the Key Pro 5 word processor program.
Continue to build your keyboarding vocabulary by learning four new key reaches in this lesson: r, right SHIFT, c, and o. We'll also talk about "the Zen of typing" . . . in other words, how touch-typing becomes an instinctive and unconscious action.
Your typing vocabulary continues to expand rapidly with the addition of the reaches to the w, comma, b, and p. Before you know it, you'll be typing complete paragraphs! This lesson also covers what you need to know about carpal tunnel syndrome, a serious and painful condition that you can avoid.
Expand your typing vocabulary by mastering four more key reaches: the g, question mark (?), x, and u. Just a few more reaches, and you'll know how to type the whole alphabet! In this lesson, you'll also learn about the function (FN) key and the numbers lock (NUM LOCK) key, which are on most laptop keyboards.
Today you'll add another four reaches to your typing vocabulary: q, m, v, and apostrophe ('). You'll also learn how to save a document with a word processing program.
It's time to add another four reaches to your typing vocabulary: the z, y, quotation mark ("), and TAB keys. After this lesson, you'll know the reaches to all the alphabetic keys! You'll also find out how to open, edit, and resave word processing documents.
Are you ready to improve your skills and learn some new ones? After you review the z, y, x, q, v, quotation mark, and CAPS LOCK keys, you'll learn the reaches to the numbers 1 and 8. Then you'll take timed writings in the Key Pro 5 word processor.
What's the difference between the DELETE key, the BACKSPACE key, and the Cut command? By the end of this lesson, you'll understand how and when to use these three editing tools. You'll also continue to improve your skills with the alphabetic keys, plus you'll learn more number reaches: 5, 0, 2, and 7.
When should you spell out numbers (like this: one, nine, five hundred), and when should you write them as figures (1, 9, 500)? I'll explain in this lesson. You'll also continue to improve your skills with the keys you've already learned, and you'll finish the number reaches by mastering 4, 9, 3, and 6. Then you'll learn two symbol reaches: the dollar sign ($) and the hyphen (-).
You've already mastered some of the symbols and punctuation marks. Today, in our last lesson together, you'll meet the rest of the symbols. You'll also work on your accuracy and speed with the Key Pro 5 Skill Building lessons. And you'll find out how you can continue to hone your keyboarding skills long after you've finished this course!

5 Bits of Advice That Don't Make Sense Until It's Too Late
#2. Going to a Counselor Doesn't Mean You're Crazy
I tend to harp on this a lot, and I'm about to do it again -- your teens and early 20s are one of the most dangerous periods of your life. Those same hormones I mentioned earlier don't just amplify the "feel good" emotions -- they also work for the Dark Side. This means it's also harder to tell the difference between what the grownups dismiss as being a "moody teenager" and a life-threatening problem.
For many, many years, I found myself getting irritable, sad, tired, angry, and even suicidal for no discernible reason, without provocation or warning. I'd lay in bed for hours, fantasizing about ways to just end it all because nobody understood, and there was nothing anyone could do to help me. If I was gone, the world would be a better place.
I pictured my funeral full of these things.
I had heard of depression, and I knew the definition, but I didn't really know what it was. It wasn't until years later when I started taking psychology classes that I began to get a deeper insight as to what was making me involuntarily goth out for most of my life. And as it turned out, it's pretty hard to fight a monster if you don't know that one is there in the first place. Recognizing depression when it hits is half the battle.
Luckily, the Internet now exists, so access to that information doesn't require any other action than clicking this link.
Or if it's easier, these boobs.
Why You Won't Believe it for Years:
Unfortunately, even if I had the internet back then, and the link was handed to me, and someone was there to click it, and another person held my eyes open, and another read the page to me through a megaphone, I still wouldn't have absorbed the information. Depression has a way of doing that to a person, it tricks you into defending it against all attacks. You will feed and protect your misery like it's your first born baby.
But the odds are that nobody would have given me the link anyway. Society was -- and still is -- in the dark ages when it comes to any kind of mental or emotional problems. Practical advice on dealing with your own emotional swings is not a subject you'll find being taught at schools or home or... pretty much anywhere. To this day, if you need physical therapy on a knee you sprained playing football, you're a badass. But if you need mental therapy, even simple counseling, you're crazy. Damaged. All talk of it is awkward, the subject of jokes to be made when they're well out of earshot. So the stigma keeps us at home, quietly accepting that there's something wrong with us. Something shameful.
The reality is that seeing somebody about depression (or anxiety, or anything else) is no harder than going to see a doctor about that rash on your ass. Yeah, it's awkward and intrusive but you get over it, you don't just fucking let it spread until you're bedridden. You call, you make an appointment, you see what needs done. Shake off that shame you feel about needing help before it fucking murders you.
Wanna know a secret? You are completely normal. It happens to all of us.
But understand this (and if you're in the age group I'm talking about, I hope to God that I'm wrong about you not getting this for years): You have more people who care about you than you think. Back when I was fighting that demon (I like to picture myself using a giant anime sword that's on fire), I swore on my soul that not a single person in the world gave a shit whether I lived or died. As I got older and that smothering black veil lifted, I realized how incredibly wrong I was. There were dozens of people who would have been negatively affected by my early check-out.
You'll find the same. Even if it turns out that number is two, that should mean something to you because it translates to this: Those two people live in a better world simply because you draw breath.
Even if those two people are complete douchebags.
#1. Stop and Figure Out How Much Partying You Can Handle
Statistically, almost every teenager reading this article will try booze or drugs before they graduate. I'm the last guy in the world who is going to burst through the doors and break up the party -- I've drank enough alcohol and done enough drugs in a single night to put any random four of you in a grave. And this is the last thing you want to hear, because the whole point of partying is that for one night you don't have to worry about a bunch of shit. So I'm not going to be the asshole who starts preaching about childhood obesity to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. I had my fun, you should have yours.
But, there's a huge yet invisible difference between innocent experimentation and addiction, and when it decides to blindside you, it happens so hard and so fast that, in the words of Warden Samuel Norton: "You'll think you've been fucked by a train". It's important that you recognize it before that happens. And, just like with the mental health example, society isn't great about giving you the tools because parents prefer to just tell you to never touch the stuff instead. You're probably not going to listen to that, so you wind up with no help at all.
It never looks like an after school special. It looks more like a call to 911.
My advice isn't complicated, and if you respect yourself or anyone you know at all, I ask you this one simple favor that will take five minutes per month. It's as easy as reading a grocery list. Bookmark that link, and once a month, visit it. Mentally check off any of those things that apply to you. If you have even one, it's not a good sign. But as you check things off, if you find that your mental pen is starting to run out of ink, it's time to take some serious steps towards finding an adult to talk to.
This wasn't a "find out five years later" case for me. It ate a third of my total lifespan, and I let it.
As I always point out with this issue, there are millions of people out there who can party with the best of them and then walk away unscathed. They can forget about it the next day and not come back to it for months or years at a time. Maybe you're one of those people, and I won't be the guy who points a finger in your face and tells you that you're wrong. All I'm asking is to visit that site. Give it an honest read... and if you find yourself checking off more and more of those points, come to terms with the idea that unless you put a stop to it, it's going to hurt you and everyone you love.
There's no shame in saying, "This isn't where I want to be. Can you help me?"
Why You Won't Believe it for Years:
You spend years in school listening to D.A.R.E. programs (or whatever anti-drug stuff they do where you live) telling you that one hit off a joint will put you in a coma. Then you actually try the stuff and realize that's bullshit, so you immediately ignore all other warnings, too. It's all the same shit -- puritanical adults clutching their pearls at the thought of spending Friday night ingesting anything other than Bible verses. Right? It's hard to imagine that your parents were in college too, at one point, and may have owned more than one bong. So trying to separate the anti-drug propaganda from the useful warnings becomes next to impossible. Especially when you're young and healthy and invincible, and your hangovers are over after breakfast.
And hell, once you're in college, that's all about drinking, right? That's the stereotype. The weird kids are the ones who aren't getting wasted.
And in the years after, you don't take kindly to words like "alcoholic" and "addict" because they're not a diagnosis - they're insults. They're terms used to describe selfish, weak people who ruin families. Nobody wants to be that. Even if you find that you are addicted, you sure as fuck can't admit it.
So you'll ignore it -- I ignored mine for 22 years before I finally swallowed my pride and admitted that I had a problem. You'll make excuses like, "I have a job. I'm a good mother/father. I pay my bills. I'm not hurting a damn thing -- I'm an adult, and this is my decision."
Totally your decision.
Yep. I did that too. In fact, here's over 120 pages of people coping with that very thing on our own forums. And what every single one of us have found is that at some point with addiction, it stops being your decision. You lose control over it, and using becomes involuntary. Willpower has nothing to do with it at that point.
But the biggest reason this gets prolonged is because nobody can tell you that you're addicted to something. It doesn't work that way because, just like me, most people will take it as name-calling and get defensive. The only way to start this process is for you to realize it and admit it to yourself. A lot of people don't have that kind of courage and self reflection. Do you? Here's that link again, just in case.

Hefner, 86, married fiancée Crystal Harris, 26, in front of family and a few close friends at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles on Monday, the magazine publisher confirmed on Twitter.
"Crystal & I married on New Year's Eve in the Mansion with Keith as my Best Man. Love that girl!" he Tweeted early New Year's Day.
The bride wore a floor length strapless gown in soft pink and the groom wore a traditional black tuxedo, Playboy Enterprises said in a statement.
After the ceremony came a private reception with a champagne toast and the bride and groom cut the wedding cake.
The newlyweds then attended the Mansion's annual New Year's Eve celebration and enjoyed a performance by jazz and blues singer Brenna Whitaker.
Hefner later shared another snapshot of the newlywed couple, with him sporting his iconic captain's hat and Harris in a pale pink wedding dress.
"Happy New Year from Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hefner!" he wrote.
Guests included Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts, 2005 Playmate of the Year Tiffany Fallon, baseball player Evan Longoria, Gene Simmons and wife Shannon Tweed and Jon Lovitz.
Ever the social media friendly couple, on the morning of their New Year's Eve wedding day, Harris shared her excitement via Twiter. "Today is the day I become Mrs. Hugh Hefner. Feeling very happy, lucky, and blessed," she Tweeted.
The wedding follows a failed engagement in 2011, when Harris called it off just days before the scheduled ceremony.
The couple revealed their reconciliation in June, when Harris Tweeted "Yes I am his #1 girl again. Yes we are happy. Hope that clears up any confusion! Xo."
Amid speculation regarding their relationship status, Hefner confirmed the couple's plans to walk down the aisle once again.
"I've given Crystal Harris a ring. I love the girl," he Tweeted.
Harris later showed off the diamond sparkler on the social media service, calling it "my beautiful ring."
This is the third marriage for Hefner and the first for Harris.
Crystal & I married on New Year's Eve in the Mansion with Keith as my Best Man. Love that girl! twitter.com/hughhefner/sta…— Hugh Hefner (@hughhefner) January 1, 2013
