Nonsecretory multiple myeloma is characterized by the absence of an M (monoclonal) protein in both the serum and urine. It occurs in approximately 2% of all patients with myeloma. The M-protein is found in the cytoplasm of the plasma cells in about 85% of patients. In the remainder, no M-protein can be found in the cytoplasm and these patients have truly nonsecretory myeloma. Electron microscopy of the plasma cells shows the same features as found in plasma cells of patients with an M-protein in serum or urine.
The lack of an M-protein in the serum and urine in nonsecretory myeloma may be due to the inability of the plasma cells to excrete the M-protein, low synthetic capacity of M-protein formation, degradation of the M-protein within the plasma cell or rapid degradation of M-protein after secretion from the plasma cell. The diagnosis of nonsecretory myeloma depends upon the demonstration of an M-protein (kappa or lambda) in the cytoplasm of the plasma cells when using an immunohistochemical stain. This is necessary because metastatic cancer must be excluded before the diagnosis of nonsecretory myeloma is proven.
Patients with nonsecretory myeloma are approximately ten years younger than in typical myeloma. Anemia and elevation of serum calcium occur less frequently in nonsecretory myeloma. Kidney failure is much less common and is probably due to the absence of monoclonal light chains (Bence Jones protein) in the urine. The tumor cell mass is usually less than that found in multiple myeloma. Almost all patients have lytic bone lesions. The IgG, IgA and IgM values are usually reduced. The most common initial manifestation is bone pain. X-rays of the bone reveal lytic lesions. The diagnosis depends upon the demonstration of an excess of monoclonal (kappa or lambda) plasma cells in the bone marrow.
Patients with nonsecretory myeloma are treated in the same fashion as multiple myeloma. Patients younger that 70 years should consider an autologous stem cell transplant. Patients older that 70 years should be treated with melphalan and prednisone or a combination of alkylating agents. Response to therapy and relapse of patients with nonsecretory myeloma cannot be determined by changes in the M-protein levels. The response to therapy is manifested by a reduction in bone pain, improvements of the hemoglobin level, decrease in serum calcium if initially abnormal, reduction of extramedullary plasmacytomas if present, no increase in lytic bone lesions and a reduction in the bone marrow plasma cells.
Survival of patients with nonsecretory myeloma is similar to that of patients with multiple myeloma. One might anticipate a longer survival in the nonsecretory group because of the absence of renal insufficiency. However, the absence on an M-protein in the serum or urine may delay diagnosis until later in the course of the disease making survival shorter. Overall there is no difference in the survival of patients with nonsecretory myeloma compared with
secretory myeloma.

Roloos resigns as Baldwin football coach, full story
July 4, 2013 - Robert Collias
Baldwin High School football has arguably been the flagship program in any sport for the Maui Interscholastic League for the last decade.
Now, the Bears face a preseason slate of Saint Louis and Mission Viejo, Calif. — ranked as the No. 2 California football dynasty by MaxPreps.com with a 136-19-1 record over the last 12 seasons — with a team that is in a state of flux.
Record-setting quarterback Keelan Ewaliko has taken his talents to Manoa, coach A.J. Roloos has resigned while under investigation by the Department of Education into alleged inappropriate interaction with students, and a lot of the close-knit coaching staff now works in Pukalani.
We have not heard the last of this, but here is the start of the Roloos story, something you can only read at The Maui News:
WAILUKU - Baldwin High School football coach A.J. Roloos has resigned his position after six
seasons - all of which resulted in Maui Interscholastic League Division I championships - school Principal Catherine Kilborn confirmed Tuesday.
Roloos guided the Bears to the semifinals of the state tournament in 2007 and 2011.
"Yes, he has," Kilborn replied when asked if Roloos had resigned.
She didn't know the exact date but believed the resignation was tendered in the latter part of June. He has been the subject of a state Department of Education investigation over alleged inappropriate interaction with students.
Keneke Pacheco, a 13-year assistant coach for the Bears, has been named interim head coach for the 2013 season by school Athletic Director Kahai Shishido. Kilborn said the job will be open after this season. With less than a month to go before practice begins, she said that it was not possible to go through a formal job search this year.
"I'm very excited," said the 52-year-old Pacheco, a 1979 Maui High School graduate. "The whole opportunity to be part of Baldwin football at a bigger capacity, I think it's a great challenge for me."

Lenexa's Ad Astra pool will be closed for the Memorial Day weekend as workers repair a recently discovered leak.
The city said once the leak is repaired, it will take at least 48 hours to fill the pool, balance the chemicals and clean the pool and deck for guests. Parks officials will re-evaluate the status of the pool on Tuesday.
Lenexa residents are encouraged to visit the city's two other pools, the Indian Trails Aquatic Center and Flat Rock Creek Pool, until Ad Astra reopens.
"We appreciate the patience and understanding of our community," said Parks and Recreation Director Gary Ristow. "We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope our residents will use this opportunity to check out our other wonderful pool facilities."

Lawmakers need to pass safe patient handling bill
It's been years in the making; can we get it done in 2013? Health care professionals have been advocating for safe patient handling legislation to improve patient care in New York for years. These efforts have resulted in the introduction of the safe patient handling bill with bipartisan support from the State Senate and Assembly, yet it fails continually to be signed into law.
This legislation assures caregiver access to "safe patient handling" equipment, training and monitoring that will keep patients safe. Use of equipment will prevent injury to patients and health care workers caused by tugging, lifting and pulling.
Safe patient handling equipment improves outcomes. Patient satisfaction improves, because they feel safe in devices made for enhancing mobility. Caregivers reduce their risk of occupational injury resulting in loss of work and/or career. Health care systems reap the benefits by improving patient outcomes, averting costly workers' compensation claims and patient lawsuits from preventable injuries. This legislation is a win-win-win situation.
Safe patient handling programs work, but many institutions have not invested in them. Return on investment (ROI) is cited as a barrier, but National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health evidence shows a one- to three-year ROI, with additional savings to follow. Successfully, Kaleida Health partnered with CWA 1168 in implementing a "zero lift program" in 2004. The program morphed into a "Safe Patient Handling" program that continues to improve outcomes today. It makes sense to implement such programs, but legislation is needed to assure the safety of our patients and the health care workforce.
Now is the time to pass this legislation. Our patients and caregivers can't afford to wait any longer.
Mary Brogcinski, R.N., M.S.N.

UNIVERSITY PARK - The two most important words for the Penn State football program over the next five or six years are health and depth, and coach Bill O'Brien has made it a point to discuss those issues more and more in recent weeks.
O'Brien has been more candid this offseason about the challenges facing the program during the NCAA sanction years, and make no mistake about it, those challenges will be large. Only being able to offer 15 scholarships a year for four years and being limited to 65 total scholarships for four years beginning in 2014 will take a toll on the overall talent in the program.
O'Brien doesn't know exactly how much talent he can lure to Penn State over the next few years, but he does know that once the players arrive, he and his staff have to do everything they can to keep them healthy. That means thinking outside the box and changing the way they go about things in certain areas.
The coaches won't be able to push the players the same way other programs do. For instance, O'Brien has acknowledged his team can't tackle much during the week because it creates a higher risk for injuries, and the staff even wants bulldozing tailback Zach Zwinak to try and avoid contact when he runs so he can preserve his body. (Good luck with that last one.)
We will see elements of the stay-healthy-at-all-costs strategy today during the Blue-White Game, which has always been just a glorified practice but now will feel like even more of one. Starters and other key players typically haven't played too long in the scrimmage, and that surely will be taken to another level from now on.
Unlike last year's spring game, when the new coaches were still learning about every player and many starting jobs were up for grabs, O'Brien and his staff have a good understanding of the abilities of the key players on this year's team. That gives them little reason to keep those guys on the field for very long today.
So while watching the quarterback competition unfold between Steven Bench and Tyler Ferguson, you will want to have a roster handy to keep track of all the younger, inexperienced guys getting a lot of game action.
Then after the game, O'Brien probably will mention once again about how he has to take more precautions because of the depth concerns. That's the reality for the PSU program under these ridiculous NCAA sanctions, and O'Brien with his experience working with a 53-man NFL roster has a good understanding of how to make it work.
Then again, the big difference is that in the NFL, every guy on the roster already is a good football player, while in college, many are still projects and works in progress.
For Penn State to succeed in the coming years, the starters must be able to stay healthy so that the projects are not forced into action.

Reasonable discussion on guns is impossible
It seems it's impossible to have a reasonable discussion on gun control. On one hand we have fanatics who believe that any control amounts to tyranny, and on the other we have people who know nothing about guns and will settle for nothing less than complete confiscation.
The new New York gun law is both reasonable and stupid. Universal background checks? Good. A ban on very high-capacity magazines? Reasonable. A ban on "assault" weapons? Stupid. The state is banning rifles purely on the basis of how they look. Is a .22-caliber rifle with a pistol grip really more dangerous than a high-powered hunting rifle?
As far as the magazine limit from 10 to seven rounds, this was clearly an attempt by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to quickly enact the most restrictive gun law in the nation in order to further his political ambitions. New York already had one of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

I'd like to correct misinformation in a recent letter about United Schools.
First, employees are represented by the United Education Association and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees; these unions have union representatives to assist them in negotiations if they so choose. The unions choose their team members who meet with the administrative team to negotiate contract terms. Once terms are agreed upon by both teams, the contract is approved or rejected by a vote of each union. If approved by the union, the contract is then approved by the Board of Education. In the fall of 2013 negotiated union contract terms were followed.
Several years ago, due to increasing benefit costs, the United BOE eliminated insurance coverage for new bus drivers hired, since they work 22-25 hours per week and the board didn't believe they could continue giving full-time benefits to part-time workers. New hires were/are made aware of this prior to hiring.
Board members are paid $125 per meeting (set by the state); United caps the compensated meetings at 16 per year; if they meet more than 16 times, they're working for "free" at those meetings. Under Ohio law, board members may purchase insurance coverage; members doing so pay 100 percent of the premium.
United administrators have a pay scale set by the Board of Education and it is followed with regard to any pay increases.
Second, regarding blood tests for employees; this is part of the state mandated wellness plan for school employees. The blood tests were free, voluntary, (not mandatory) and help employees become aware of potential health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. Federal HIPAA regulations would protect employees' privacy.
Third, the school provides information to all parents/guardians regarding the cost of breakfast and lunch, including paperwork to apply for free or reduced price meals for those meeting the federal guidelines. If the adults fail to do the paperwork, or don't send enough money to cover the student's meals, why is that the school's fault? At least the school is willing to provide a nutritious meal for the student rather than let them go hungry.
Fourth, every November, the Ohio School Boards Association holds the Capital Conference for three days for learning/legal/information sessions, speakers, performances, vendors, and interaction with others about public education in Ohio. United Board members attend the conference annually, and gain valuable insight and training for the operation of a public school district, and information on legislative changes affecting schools.
Fifth, only if United replaced their entire fleet with compressed natural gas buses would we need 16-18 new buses. The BOE plans to continue purchasing 1-2 buses per year.
Sixth, the $504,127 contract paid for 34 windows and roofing in the junior high, five sets of double doors, three other entrance doors, a computerized security system with staff fobs for access, and the centralizing of the administrative offices for the superintendent, treasurer, assistant treasurer, payroll clerk, EMIS coordinator and secretary.
Don't believe the misinformation - get the facts.

Junior College could provide immediate assistance as a defense ranked second in the Mid-American Conference last season absorbs the graduation losses of defensive end Steven Means, nose tackle Wyatt Cahill and linebackers Isaac Baugh and Dalonte Wallace.
Bean, an inside linebacker, goes 6-foot-1, 235 pounds and has already joined the UB program. He was a state high school wrestling champion in both Oklahoma and Kansas. Lynch (6-2, 245) had 13 tackles for losses and 9.5 sacks last year and is viewed as a disruptive force in the mold of Means.
Quinn said he and his coaches strived to fill needs and strike an across-the-board balance in distributing the available scholarship allotment. They signed 11 players on defense, six on offense and a special teams specialist in long snapper Corbin Grassman of Alexandria, Ohio. If the name sounds familiar it's because Grassman is the cousin of punter Tyler Grassman.
For the first time in Quinn's four-year tenure, the Bulls deviated from a master plan that calls for a quarterback in every recruiting class. The reason: They felt the need just wasn't there. The Bulls return last year's season-ending starter in Joe Licata, last year's season-opening starter in Alex Zordich, a multi-threat backup in Tony Daniel and a highly regarded talent in Collin Michael, a 6-5, 225-pounder with a superior arm who redshirted last season as a freshman.
"We had needs at other positions and I felt very strongly that I wanted to get all four of our quarterbacks the maximum amount of reps, so I did break a little bit of my thought process there," Quinn said. "We had needs and we wanted to get these kids ready and we wanted to maximize all their opportunities to get the reps."
(Quinn later added that there is no firm No. 1 quarterback heading into the spring; both Licata and Zordich would be considered the front-runners).
Beside Grassman, the high school players in the 2013 recruiting class are:
Defense: Brandon Crawford, 6-2, 235 OLB/DE, Madison, Fla.; Andrews Dadeboe, 5-11, 180 CB, York, Pa.; Xavier Davis, 6-2 280 NG, Atlanta; Chris Ford, 6-3 300 NG, Medina, Ohio; Jarrett Franklin, 6-3 205 OLB, St. Charles, Mo.; Houston Glass, 6-2 185 S, Kentwood, Mich., Solomon Jackson, 6-1 230 OLB, Stone Mountain, Ga.; Greg Lis, 6-1, 220 ILB, Lincoln Park, N.J.; Zach Smekal, 6-4 255 DT, Medford, N.J.
Offense: James Coleman, RB, Queens Village; Jamarl Eiland, 6-1, 185 WR, Canton, Mich,; Brandon Manosalvas, 6-4, 280 DL, Paramus, N.J.; Jacob Martinez, 6-0, 180 WR, South Port, Fla.; Boise Ross, 5-11, 180 WR, Bethlehem, Pa.; Joe Schillace, 6-1, 230 FB, Auburn.
Martinez and Eiland are two of the more intriguing players in that group. Both are listed as athlete/wide receivers because of their versatility.
Eiland primarily played receiver as a junior but moved to quarterback for most of his senior season. His father played at Grand Valley State for the Brian Kelly coaching staff that included Quinn.
Martinez quarterbacked Bozeman High as a junior. He possesses superior speed and could evolve into a deep threat while also vying for an opportunity as a punt and kick returner.
Rivals.com ranked UB's recruiting class as the weakest in the country among 123 Division I teams although it's commonplace knowledge that programs in the non-major conferences recruit more with an eye on development than instant impact. Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was lightly regarded out of high school and has a chance to go in the early rounds of the 2014 NFL draft. And former record-setting UB running back James Starks of Niagara Falls, now with the Green Bay Packers, had no offers out of high school except for UB.
Quinn acknowledged that one of his top priorities during the offseason was in helping Mack, the two-time All-MAC linebacker, determine whether to leave early for the NFL draft or return for his senior season.
"It was my first time going through it and I [sought] out advice from a lot of coaches that have players … that were recognized as juniors to be potentially draft picks in the NFL," Quinn said. "So what I did was contact the NFL. A junior can have their film evaluated and they make a decision whether they'd be drafted in the first three rounds. They share that information with me – the head coach only – and the prospect."
Quinn traveled to Florida, he said, "and shared it with his parents, talked to them. I was very forthright, honest, upfront about the situation. I also told them how I felt about him. And I told him there was two reasons why you came to the University at Buffalo, No. 1 to earn a degree and No. 2, to help this program compete for championships … and we haven't accomplished that yet."
Quinn said he reviewed with Mack statistics that showed financial troubles encountered by many NFL players and the two-year average on length of a career and concluded, "The best advice I can give you, son, is to stay for your senior year."
Mack announced last month that he would forego the NFL draft and remain at UB.
UB opens spring practice on March 26 with the Blue-White Game scheduled for April 20 at UB Stadium.

whats up folks, i am sure if you have been reading my blogs you have also been reading the comments that have been made by the resident "hater" sofletes. if you have not figured it out he is actually a friend of mine. in fact he is one of my best friends, and probably the only person i know that is capable of killing a man with only one hand. he is a "recon marine" which i believe is the marines equivalent of a navy seal ( i am sure that he is going to be mad that i compared the two…as he is surely much more bad ass than a seal) any way, meatstick is the only way to characterize this guy, however he is also a training genius. in fact if he were still in the Chesterton area he would be training me along side mike duquette.
so in the last couple of weeks i have put on some serious muscle, i have my bench back up over 300lbs, my squats however are not making as much progress. i am still capable of moving over 350lbs from the squat but it is hard to make any real gains there since i do not have a workout partner in the weight room. it is easy to get someone to spt you on the bench but not too many people want to stand behind you and mount you from behind while you grunt out squats…at least i know i would not be itching to do that for someone i do not know.
anyway back to the task at hand, it has become evident that i am bulking up pretty quick, i gave my marine buddy a call. what is my next step? i asked. we talked about it for a while and decided it was time for a "300″ style weight training program. a little hesitant i brought what he sent me this morning to mike (the personal trainer). am i ready for this yet?. . .mike took one look at the workout and said "can you send me a copy of this tomorrow?" if you are ready for this i think it is absolutely the best thing for you..and the decision was made, no more low rep power movements, it is time to start stripping all this access fat off of my increasingly "thick" physique.
i started with mike, ladder drills, circuit and we finished up with the theraband…i made the mistake of telling him about a drill i was thinking about creating. we came to the conclusion that we would call it "resisted bear crawls" , where mike throws the theraband around my body and resists as i bear crawl sprint from one end of the squash court to the other, pair that up with the other drill i made the mistake of telling mike about, "stance resistance". this is the face-off mans equivalent of a hitting the sled in football, only we again use the theraband while i explode from about 5 feet away from the wall, out of a face off stance. i am reaching for a spot that is 30 degrees to my right and 5 feet in front of me.. i am to get back in my stance promptly and as soon as i get back in my stance he blows the whistle again(sets of 10 three times as fast as we can do it)…this is usually the last thing we do, and it always crushes me.
i was pumped to try the new workout, since "day 1″ was the equivalent of what i did yesterday in the gym i started with "day 2″…everything on these workouts is a superset with lower weights and high reps, in some cases it is a "tri set", but that was not today. today was chest and some explosive movements followed by some sprints..i hate sprints.
anyway, i have to tell you about this one thing that my buddy calls "man makers" …i told you he was a meat stick. this is where i took a 40lb dumbbell in each hand, did a push up with them in hand, when you get to the "up position" you are to bring one dumbbell up while keeping your body locked in the same position.(like a bent over row), you do that for 10 reps on each side, superset it with what is basically a elbow to knee squat jump, and repeat it five times…needless to say this crushed me…finished up with some sprints and some dry heaving and i was on my way home for dinner…sweet
one more day is over…i am starting to feel like some real progress is being made…i cant wait to see how i feel in two more weeks after i really get into this high rep workout!
oh yeah, i hope all of you are fortunate enough to get the nfl network. . .the superbowl coverage is sick…i am growing more and more confident that the g-men will be coming out of this game with a win and a big ass ring!…i think i will send them a letter and request to buy my own ring, as i am definitely a part of this team…i deserve a ring d***it!
until next time, im going to go and eat some lightning. . .shannon (my wife) is having a hard time finding recipes for it but she is coming along!

...as folks have stated, let the healing begin! (although I never turned on him like some.)
This is the first step in #91 getting put up next to #5 where it belongs! No matter what the argument ,the Red Wings of the 90's and early 00's are not the winners they were without Lids or Feds! They both belong in the rafters.
...anyhow, having Feds, and Igor there on the ice will be awesome! Is Fetisov planning on playing? All that leaves is coaxing Kozlov there and we will be set, because you ALL know Vladdy will make an appearance on the ice in some shape or form!
According to Khan, Kozlov will be there so the Russian 5 will be back together. Even with honorary member Doug Brownov!

Autism programs to bring awareness
April 1, 2013
Autism continues to be a vastly misunderstood medical condition. Yet, the apparent rising cases of autism among children, seem to beg for a better understanding....
autism is a real and sometimes devastating disorder, however wonderful children can blossom with the right kind of understanding and training. society is the real problem i believe.. people with any kind of disablity get looked down upon by a lot of jerks in society. with lots of support and acceptance successful and wonderful people rise above and beyond their disability. many years ago, however, you never heard of these things. the one that gets me the most is the ADHD disability and the people that insist they need free money to support that person with adhd. when we were growing up, GOOD stern parents and a warm butt, with a little education about respect, and fear of consequenses were the answer to that disorder.. if there were more parents like our parents, thered be less of that adhd stuff. and a lot of times, some try to use the autism and adhd challenge to get free money which, is just wrong, and makes the child a bigger target for bullying. hope many go to this show.

(this is mostly summer dresses and doesn't even include what is folded in drawers...)
I've been going from room to room in my little house, preparing each space to be filled with only what I love. The past several days I've been focusing on the closets. Wow can they hold a lot.
As I do laundry I will only be putting away the items that we truly love. If Gray's obsession with that one pair of pants has taught me anything, it's that you really can wear the same item of clothing every single day. Now, I prefer variety, for myself and for my kids, so I don't plan on limiting us to only a few articles of clothing each, but I'd be so embarrassed if you knew the excess we have of things in our little house.
[Normally I'd freecycle the things we don't want to keep, but I'm in the throes of a broken computer and I'd love to try to make some money to put towards a new one (but in all honesty it will probably go towards Gray's dental procedure), and also I'd really like for all our stuff to be gone in a jiffy, all at once. So, in a few weeks we'll have a yard sale and whatever is left over I will give away for free.]
Tomorrow I might take pictures of all my little purses I just can't seem to part with...
See more of my closets this week:
Closets: Less is the new black
Closets: Little purses, I just can't quit you
Closets: a rare peek into my blog closet
Closets: Dresses that I've never worn (one I will, one I'll never)
Closets: The end.

Be Wise to Investment Taxes
When it comes to investing, there are two things you can control – how much you pay in fees and how much you pay in taxes. With fees, it's pretty straightforward because fees are disclosed up front. A brokerage charges you $x per trade, a mutual fund company pulls x% in expenses, and both are required by law to make those very clear.
Taxes are slightly different. The tax code can be complicated and it doesn't help that there are so many different "types" of investment accounts from 401(k)s to Roth IRAs to your plain vanilla brokerage account. When it comes to investing, what you buy and where can be just as important as what you buy.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Could be a boy or a girl, but regardless, Joris are the best type of friends you'll ever have. They love to have fun, and crack jokes often. They love to sing. They're shy at first, but once you get to know them they'll never stop talking. They're extremely kind, smart, and also gorgeous. Their weakness is chocolate pudding, and they love reading Calvin and Hobbes Comics.
Man, I wish I had a Jori as a friend. Where can I get one?

The shipping of Jade West and Tori Vega on the Nickelodeon TV show, Victorious. These characters are portrayed by Liz Gillies and Victoria Justice. Jori is a very popular shipping right now in June 2013. Jori shippers are the most creative of the Victorious fandom; they can find Jori in any episode. And they are way better than Bori (Beck Oliver and Tori Vega) shippers!!!
Jori shipper: Oh! I have a great theory of how Jade got the shrimp in Tori's bra! This will be the best fanfiction ever!

Q: What brought you to our website?
A: In search of an active guild that arrange events, are talkative, helpful and respectful towards others. I want to be part of a guild that actually does stuff together.
Q: This recruitment process requires that we get to know you a little bit. Please tell us a little about yourself.
A: Ummmm..Fun, enjoy a chat, a good laugh, banter an all that.
Love getting involved in group events and helping others, basically feeling like Im doing something rather than going the game alone.
Most of all, always eager to learn more and progress with my game-play.
Q: If possible, it would be helpful if you could tell us what Account Name you are using in-game, as many members on our site here have a different user name compared to their account name. This will allow us to know it is you.
A: Arron AcE.5204
Q: All members are expected to uphold respectful conduct when communicating with other players and guild mates. This applies to in-game situations, our website and on guild/GW2 related websites and message boards. Intolerance for others based upon religion / sexuality / gender / ethnicity / etc. is not welcome. We are a guild of HONOR and INTEGRITY, and we reflect that in all public forums. The general rule of thumb is to treat people how you would like to be treated in return. How do you feel about this?
A: Sounds like my kind of thinking. Ive never believed on putting people down for any reason at all. I am always striving to make new friends not aiming to upset or offend anyone, it ruins the game in my opinion.
Q: In-Game Guild Status - Guild Wars 2 will allow characters to switch between multiple guilds as they wish while playing the game. The OSD Division Leadership Council within the Guild Wars 2 game expect that you will focus your time and energy towards this guild alone and will keep your characters as members of the OSD. Therefore it is an expectation that you will be 'representing' the Order of the Silver Dragons at all times while playing in-game as a member of this community. With that said, there might be a feasible reason why an alt character or an RP character should be in another guild. Special cases and requests will be handled on an individual basis. What are your thoughts on this?
A: Thats absolutely fine and more than understandable. Having various guilds is all well and good if a player is a casual gamer and not looking for one guild to work with and put all their effort into. As I am not a casual gamer and WANT to be able to put all my effort into one guild this is great.
Q: Ventrilo is a communications tool that allows our membership to experience the full effect of being in a community-based gaming guild. If you feel alone in game and you don't feel that much is going on, or felt the scheduled event experience was lacking or not working as intended... it might just be because you aren't using the communications tools available to you.
VENTRILO use will be 'Strongly Encouraged' for all players to actively use while performing normal game activities whenever you are playing in GW2. Even though it is not a requirement, it should be strongly considered for usage as a communications tool that allows our membership to experience the full effect of being in a community-based gaming guild.
VENTRILO use can, and no doubt will be 'Mandatory' during organized guild events, such as Dynamic Content runs and meta-events/dungeons, WvW, sPvP, group or team meetings, as well as other types of scheduled events if the event coordinator advises of such.
You don't have to speak if you don't want to, so long as you are on to listen to other members that might need help or guidance. With that said, we have several dedicated Vent rooms that allow you to sit quietly in peace if you so wish. All public discussion areas such as public vent channels are PG-13. Are you okay with our Ventrilo policies?
A: I am fine with this I believe that voice communication is the better way to communicate and it is valuable to serious gameplay, Im not a huge talker Ill admit, a little shy at first however Ill always give it ago and most definitely always listen to whats being said over the mic or in chat.
Q: If you are accepted as a member of our guild, you will automatically be placed at our 'New Member' position within the game. Please be mindful that this is not a single-player RPG game, but a multi-wing online gaming community. You will be expected to communicate, interact and support your fellow guildies, as well as ensure that you follow our Charter of Excellence at all times. In order to show your allegiance or loyalty to our community, we will ask that you perform certain 'Community Quests' that give you the opportunity to communicate, interact and generally become a member of our community (don't worry, they are enjoyable tasks that allows you to get involved with our player-base). Once these 'Guild Quests' are resolved, you will be raised one rank level in-game which allows you to access all the benefits of our guild. Are you okay with this?
A: I like the sound of this. This is the kind of thing Ive looked for in guilds, rather than joining and getting a, hello, welcome and thats the end of it, this seems very hands on and involved, I like it.
Q: We have found that guild members have a better gaming experience if they use the forums and the events calender. This allows you to get game information and join guildies in events as your real life time permits. Do you intend on being active on our website forums and events calendar?
A: I really enjoy the idea of being able to check on upcoming events using a calendar it allows for better prep I would most definitely be as active as possible on the forums.
Q: Once you learn how, we would like you to create events or RSVP for other scheduled events as your real life schedule permits. What are your thoughts on this?
A: Id love to try and make events, emphasis on try lol, and join others when able to.
Q: Have you been playing MMO's for a while, or are you just getting started?
A:I have been playing MMOs for as long as I can remember. I have a long list of MMOs from the age of about 11; Myth of Soma, Silk road, Maple story, Tibia, WoW, lineage 2 are just a few, none of these though were as serious as guild wars, however I still spent time on them.
Q: We expect all members to submit and update their characters in our Guild Wars 2 sub-forum 'Character Roster' (character name, class, level, possibly build, etc.). Are you okay with this? After reading the above content, why do you think it might be important?
A: This is fine I expected this anyway as it allows players to know better who they are talking to on forums and in game, it also allows people to predict what your role could be for example in a WvW event etc. allowing for better organising of events.
Q: What kind of character do you typically play? Tell us about your main character you envision, and please list any alts that you know you will be bringing into the guild as well.
A: I typically play tanky dps style characters, my main atm is a Norn guardian. im still not very up on builds and stuff which is a reason id like to be a part of this guild to gain knowledge on such things and know better what im doing. Ive also been fond of archers and ranged characters due to their abilities to both damage enemies and support allies. I tried support role in GW as I liked the idea of looking after my team but I wasnt as good at it as others so I tend to avoid it on the basis of not wanting to hinder the team.
Q: What type of playstyle do you enjoy the most?
A: Organised to be blunt. The more structured it is the better, Im all for getting in and brawling dont get me wrong who doesnt love a brawl, but I like to know my role and others too it makes it more fun and challenging at the same time.
Q: If you violate any rules defined within the gaming EULA, you will face disciplinary action up to and including removal from this community. Do you understand, and agree with this rule?
A: It would be surprising of me to break any rules but if I did, yes id expect disciplinary action and this is more than expected and acceptable.
Q: What time of day do you typically play? How often?
A: sometimes all day not exaggerating obviously i will be AFK for food etc. but if I am not attending Uni (only 2 hours every day of the week, however being in final year no one really attends as they are completing work) or working (only on weekends) I tend to play as often as possible, which is most days of the week probably minimum 3 of the 5, weekends I may not be on as often as I work late and see my partner after.
Q: Are you affiliated with any other guilds?
A: At the moment yes however I have grown tired of it as they dont do anything together they hardly even talk, so if I was to join this guild then the answer would be no.
Q: How do you think you can best help this community? How can this community best help you?
A: I am always ready to help others in any way, nothing is too simple or boring for me to get involved, Im a fiend for teamwork weather its helping a player through the first areas and keeping them company or a serious dungeon I love helping and feeling a part of something, I will always seek to help the guild over partaking in my own gameplay. This guild can help me by simply having other more experienced players to call on and give me pointers without calling me a noob or getting angry if I dont know certain lingo or tactics in dungeons.
Q: OSD is generally a "casual, do it all" guild, meaning we welcome players from all playstyles and don't limit our focus to one playstyle in particular. We welcome PvPers, PvEers, Roleplayers, Crafters, etc. For example, while we may offer weekly raids, we are not a hardcore raiding guild that requires you to raid 5 or 6 nights a week. We also do not consider any one playstyle to be more important than another, all members of OSD are equal. For example, a hardcore PvPer will never be considered "more valuable" to the guild than a casual Roleplayer would be. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic?
A:This is great as I want to be a part of a guild that do bits of every aspect of the game but arent strictly hardcore as Id hate to let people down by not being online all the time, the fact that the guild dips into all parts of the game and does it together rather than everyone going alone is a massive plus, definitely something id love to be a part of.
Q: With the previous question in mind...We will never force you to participate in any activity or event that falls outside your playstyle of choice. However, from time to time you may be asked to help the guild out if we are short a particular class, or just need to fill up an empty group spot. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic?
A: Yes this is fine, as Ive stated many times already I love helping the guild and othrs in any way no matter what it entails I will gladly start new classes if its what the guild may require in the future as long as I have more experienced players to lead the way and help me with classes or races Im less experienced with I will be fine.
Q: We do ask that you stay active on the guild website as much as possible. We don't expect anybody to become a forum junkie by any means. But we do expect our members to cast their votes on any polls we put up, give input in any posts we make asking for opinions, as well as chime in with your thoughts when other members open discussions. What are your thoughts on this?
A: Perfect. Its always nice to be a part of a community and being active on the forums is the first step, weather its posting votes or simple tips to another player, it all betters the guild and helps others in one way or another. Massive plus.
Q: What previous experience, if any, do you have with the original Guild Wars?
A: A lot. Lol thats a simple way to put it at one point when I was on a gap year before university I was a guild wars junkie, dont get me wrong Im not obsessive or anything I just enjoyed the game so much, especially as I was playing with close friends. I experienced all aspects. UW, Fissure, I regularly ran with DOA teams as a Ritualist (my favourite class I love them spirits lol) I explored the map attained titles participated in PVP. Overall I had a vast experience with GW more PVE but I understood a lot, I wasnt a top tier player or a professional PVPer or anything I just loved getting involved.

5 Genuinely Offensive Font Choices That Must Be Stopped
Sign and logo design is a bit like hardcore pornography: With the right tools and talent, any schmuck at home can whip something up and stick it on their Tumblr. And that's why it's so frustrating to see design professionals continually returning to old cliches. If professional graphic design is anything like I imagine it is, these guys are sitting around pure-gold conference tables, designing logos entirely out of different shades of cocaine. And yet they're still coming out with things like ...
#5. Racist Fonts
In most areas of life, it's frowned on to stereotype ethnicities with a lazy shortcut. But not when you're making signs or logos!
The so-called wonton font is the worst lettering system in the universe, worse than the one made up by the murderer when he killed your family and wrote "YOUR NEXT" on the wall in their blood, worse than their memorial service invitation that the funeral home accidentally printed out in Comic Sans. It is hard to comprehend the brain pattern of the people who choose this font, but it must go something like: "How on earth is my audience meant to know that my sign that reads 'Chinese Restaurant' refers to a Chinese restaurant if I don't write it in wacky calligraphy-y, bamboo-y letters?"
And Asia isn't even the only region whose entire culture can apparently be distilled into a single letter system. Middle Easterners and Russians are also blessed with stereotypical fonts. Other regions still lack them as of now, but maybe it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with an "Australia" font made up entirely of spiders or something. And then there's the famous "Africa" font:
You may recall that this font was also used in the Jurassic Park logo, because Jurassic Park was a science fiction allegory for the horrors of South African apartheid. I'm thinking of the right movie, aren't I?
Apartheid: It will sneak up behind you and eat your fucking face.
Why It Needs to Stop
It's one thing when a font is used to advertise a restaurant or cultural festival in the laziest way possible. At least the thing being advertised is legitimately connected to the targeted region. But then there are the times when it's used solely to deliver an ethnic punchline:
Pete Hoekstra
"A little tasteless, don't you think?" -Mickey Rooney
Because here your font can make people think "Asian" without actually having to spell out "Hehehe. Asians." It's like winking and gesticulating wildly toward your crotch and then expecting to be considered classy because you didn't actually use the word "dong" as a verb.
#4. Old English Lettering
"Old English"-style lettering, also known as Gothic or Blackletter, first originated in medieval manuscripts and today lives on as a way to mangle the history of the English language by describing things as "Ye Olde":
Every good pizza place is built on a solid foundation of old English traditions.
Why It Needs to Stop
As we all know by now, this "ye" is a mistake, called into being by the misreading of a single letter (much like the demon Smephisto, who when summoned will offer to buy your soul in exchange for a really good cable package). But the real problem here is not the misuse of the letter thorn. It's that Old English writing has become the default choice for white trash emotional expression.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
"It's a deeply personal representation of my poor decision making."
I don't know why this happened. Maybe it was all the metal bands that used it in their logos. Or maybe old-fashioned gothic lettering is one of those things that people use because it seems aspirational and middle class, but instead it just ends up really sad, like naming your daughter Versace. Whatever the reason, today the average person's association with the font is less "delightful medieval milieu" and more "an abstract concept peeping out from the top of a TapouT T-shirt":
Jay Eastwick
Seize the cliche.
#3. Stark White and Helvetica
Helvetica, also known as the hipster font, isn't going to stop being trendy anytime soon, and that's cool. It's not like it's hard to read or it causes seizures or anything like that. But apparently somewhere along the way Helvetica picked up a curse that means that it's only allowed to float, alone, in a white void of eternal nothingness:
Because at some point America's companies decided that when we think of their products, we want to think of the absence of all color and texture and meaning and love:
Crate & Barrel
Nordic Bakery
Bloomberg Businessweek
American Apparel
Four designers received separate paychecks for these.
Remember, mall shoppers, there is nothing after your death except the everlasting pale emptiness in which the old gods never sleep, so you may as well buy some new sweaters or whatever.
Why It Needs to Stop
If you think this is something that just became popular in the last few decades alongside the rise of ironic sleeve tattoos, you're wrong: Soulless Helvetica oblivion has been around since the very beginning. Check out this advertisement for the font, from 1966:
Print Design and ProÂducÂtion
Presenting the setup for the most boring Mad Men ever.
In other words, the empty spaces around the Helvetica are deliberate. They are meant to look cool and sleek and modern, like an open-plan house, or the cold, dead snowfields of a nuclear winter. But if something was being praised for looking modern over 50 years ago, it's probably time to move on, or soon you're going to start looking like those computer-repair-store signs that still use that weird blobby cyborg writing.

North Charleston police are investigating a fatal shooting on Dorchester Road overnight.
Two men were shot by an unknown gunman as they left Charley O's club shortly before 2:30 a.m., police spokesman Spencer Pryor said. One man died; the other was wounded, police said.
The Charleston County Coroner's Office has not identified the slain man, but family members said he is Miquel Snipe, 22, of Admiral Drive in North Charleston.
Someone inside a black GMC Yukon fired at the men as they walked to their vehicle, which Pryor said was parked at a CK Supply parking lot, 4311 Dorchester Road.
One of the men died in the shooting, Pryor said. The other was shot in the right arm and refused medical treatment, he said.
A fight took place earlier in the night at a different location, Pryor said.
Authorities are searching for the shooter, described as a black man between 5 feet, 10 inches and 5 feet, 11 inches tall, with dreads, wearing blue jeans, a black shirt and a red hat, Pryor said.

Pennsylvania College of Technology and its partners in a consortium called ShaleNET U.S., a Marcellus Shale workforce training program started in 2010, received a $14.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor Wednesday.
Penn College will act as the physical agent on behalf of the other institutions in the consortium.
Entering the last year of its original three-year grant, ShaleNET began as a program to help recruit and train workers for the natural gas-drilling industry.
"It's a huge step forward for training for the natural gas industry," said Tracy Brundage, assistant vice president of workforce and economic development at Penn College.
The grant will help the consortium create what Brundage called, "stackable credits." She explained that the program started by only offering non-credited classes, but now it is working on creating other forms of training for its participants.
"What this grant does is gives us flexibility," she said.
ShaleNET is working on introducing certificate, associate and bachelor programs
David Pistner, director of energy initiatives at Penn College and director of the eastern hub of ShaleNET, explained it would allow the consortium to "marry the credit and non-credit" programs.
Giving students experience with the industry's "cutting-edge technology" is another way the grant money will be used, according to Brundage.
Pistner said he believed the work the group has done with the initial grant and the success seen from it is what made the new grant happen.
"We've just had tremendous success," he said. "It's grown just from the recognition of industry."
Brundage noted the reputation the training has made among those in the industry, as well.
"It's amazing the buzz word: ShaleNET," she said. "There are a lot of people that are aware of what we're doing."
As part of a consortium, each institution made a budget when it applied for the grant to outline what it needed funds for and how they would be used. Pistner said those budgets determine the amount of money each one receives.
"Distribution will be in alignment with what they submitted as their budget," he said.
Pistner said the program has given the area and its participants hope for the future, especially for veterans who are looking for work.
"It's given them the hope that they're going to be able to land on their feet and gain employment," he said. "... It really has offered the region hope."

White Sox Show No Mercy at HoHoKam Park
Paul Konerko drilled two solo home runs, and Adam Dunn slugged a two-run home run off the White Sox team bus parked next to the Budweiser Party Pavillion beyond the RF fence, as the White Sox defeated the Cubs 8-3 this afternoon at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park, in what is the Cactus League version of the Crosstown Classic.
The Cubs got on the board first against White Sox LHP Jose Quintana, scoring a run in the bottom of the 1st inning. David DeJesus and Nate Schierholtz both ripped line-drive extra-base hits over the head of Sox CF Dewayne Wise (DeJesus a lead-off double and Schierholtz a one-out RBI triple), somewhat surprising because both DeJesus and Schierholtz tend to struggle versus LHPs.
The White Sox came back to score single runs in the 3rd & 4th innings off Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva. Gordon Beckham slugged a one-out RBI double that bounced over the fence in right center to drive-in Jared Mitchell (who had reached base on a lead-off bunt single) for the Sox first run, and then Paul Konerko slugged a lead-off solo HR over the LF fence in the 4th.
Villanueva worked four innings (53 pitches - 37 strikes, 5/3 GO/FO, 0/3 BB/K) and generally worked fast and threw strikes, but he also surrendered six hits and had runners on base every inning. He fits the profile of a rubber-armed utility pitcher, someone who doesn't exactly shut-down the opposition, but who can keep his team in the game by throwing multiple innings, either as a starter or as a reliever.
RHP Barret Loux took the hill for the Cubs in the 5th and threw a shutout inning and even collected a line-drive single himself in the bottom of the frame, but then he was pulverized for five runs (all earned) in the top of the 6th inning.
Jeff Keppinger laced a line-drive double to CF to lead-off the 6th, and scored on Adam Dunn's two-run dinger. Paul Konerko then went back-to-back with Dunn, hammering his second long fly of the game over the LF fence. Dayan Viciedo struck out, but then Alexei Ramirez bounced a single to center and Tyler Flowers smoked an RBI double off the CF "Green Monster" Batter's Eye to finish Loux's day. Zach Putnam relieved Loux and allowed a single and a sacrifice fly before recording the third out of the inning.
Loux was named the 2012 Texas League Pitcher of the Year after going 14-1 with a 3.47 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP, 41/100 BB/K and 120 hits allowed in 127 IP for Frisco, and was acquired by the Cubs as the replacement for RHP Jacob Brigham, who had been acquired from Texas in the Geovany Soto trade last July. Brigham was found to have a pre-sxisting elbow problem that eventually required Tommy John Surgery, and so after the season Brigham was returned to the Rangers, and the Cubs got Loux instead. He will likely be in the AAA Iowa starting rotation on Opening Day.
Carlos Marmol entered the game in the top of the 7th, and had control issues. He was all over the place, and allowed an unearned run on one hit and two walks (plus a WP), and was pulled from the game after recording only two outs. If Tiger scouts were watching, they probably weren't impressed.
The Cubs offense finally woke up and scored two runs in the bottom of the 9th off Leyson Septimo (who left the game with some type of injury with two outs and two strikes on what could have been the game's last hitter) and Jhan Marinez, and actually threatened to score more.
Jorge Soler worked a lead-of walk, and Christian Villanueva followed one out later with a two-run HR over the LF fence (his second homer of the Spring). Then with two outs, Brad Nelson walked and Javier Baez crushed a double (near HR) off the left-center fence, but Steve Clevenger bounced out 3-U to end the game.
This is the second year in a
This is the second year in a row I've missed this game - spring training was my routine for years. Last year it was a protest vote - they were just too sucky. This year I wanted to see some of these young stud muffins like Baez and Soler. But work got in the way. C'est la vie. Hopefully next year they'll have even more young guys to look at - I especially enjoy early spring training games because of the playing time of the kids.
