|As a Peace Corps Volunteers, you will have to adapt to conditions that may be dramatically different than you have ever experienced and modify lifestyle practices that you now take for granted. Even the most basic practices— talking, eating, using the bathroom, and sleeping — may take significantly different forms in the context of the host country. If you successfully adapt and integrate, you will in return be rewarded with a deep understanding of a new culture, the establishment of new and potentially lifelong relationships, and a profound sense of humanity.

Mail delivery between the United States and the Dominican Republic is generally dependable but can be unreliable. Letters and packages sent by airmail take from 10 days to two weeks to arrive. Surface mail can take months.
Your address for regular mail service in the Dominican
Republic while you are a Peace Corps trainee (PCT) will be:
"Your Name," PCT
Cuerpo de Paz
Av Bolivar 451, Gazcue
Apartado Postal 1412
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Please Note: Do not send money, airline tickets, or other valuable items through the mail.
Should you need to have a package sent to the Dominican Republic, we recommend that the contents be limited to items that fit into padded envelopes. These are less likely to be lost, opened, or taxed than are other types of packages.
Packages may also be shipped via a parcel delivery service. Federal Express and DHL have offices in Santo Domingo. If you want them to deliver a package to the Peace Corps office, you will have to provide the office street address (instead of the post office box address listed above) and phone number:
Your address for expedited mail service in the Dominican Republic while you are a Peace Corps trainee or Volunteer will be:
"Your Name," PCT
Cuerpo de Paz
451 Avenida Bolivar
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Telephone: 809.685.4102
Please Note: Federal Express and DHL will not deliver items larger than an envelope to the Peace Corps office, so you may have to pay significant customs duties to retrieve larger items from customs, and picking up the items may mean an entire day's travel to the capital. In addition, packages sometimes disappear in transit.
Additionally, there is a tax levied on every package received by a trainee or Volunteer. Peace Corps does not cover these costs. All packages received in-country are charged RD$100 (currently USD$3.07) for retrieval and then an additional RD$100 per pound. So, for example, a 10-pound package would cost the Volunteer RD$1,100 (USD$34.00), which is a significant amount considering Volunteer living allowance.
Private courier services, such as Mail Boxes Etc., provide mail-forwarding service from Miami; however, these companies are limited to major cities and receiving rates vary according to weight. While mail-forwarding services can be considered more reliable than standard surface or airmail, it can be quite costly.
During training, Peace Corps staff will deliver mail to you at least twice a week while you are in Santo Domingo; less often when you are outside of Santo Domingo. Once you move to your site, you will be responsible for sending your new mailing address to friends and family. Some Volunteers find it more convenient to continue using the Santo Domingo address. In that case, mail received at the Peace Corps office will be put in your locker in the Volunteer lounge, and you will have to collect it periodically.
We encourage you to write to your family regularly, as family members may become worried when they do not hear from you.
The Peace Corps office in the Dominican Republic can be reached by direct dialing from the United States. The number is 1.809.685.4102. The phone number for the after-hours duty officer is 1.809.723.9944. The fax number is 1.809.689.9330.
Long-distance telephone service is available in the Dominican Republic and is not expensive. However, you may or may not have access to a land-line or cellular phone signal at your site. Therefore, new Volunteers are issued cellular phones by Peace Corps/Dominican Republic. This enables staff to maintain contact with Volunteers and to send messages in an emergency. There is no charge for receiving calls or text messages on cellular phones, but all personal calls outside the Peace Corps network are at the Volunteers' expense. Phone card rates for calling internationally to the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico are typically the same as making a local call. Prepaid calling cards bought in the United States usually don't work. Volunteers may use call centers of the major telephone companies, Verizon or Tricom, which have branches throughout the country.
The major cell phone companies are Claro, Orange, and Tricom.
Computer, Internet, and E-mail Access
If your sponsoring agency or project partner owns a computer, you may be able to arrange access for work-related or personal use. The resource center and computer room at the Peace Corps office in Santo Domingo has a limited number of computers with Internet access for Volunteer use. However, if you want to receive personal e-mail, you will need to set up an account with a service such as Yahoo!, Gmail, or Hotmail. Internet access is also available at Internet cafes throughout the country. Peace Corps staff computers are not available for Volunteer use.
Housing and Site Location
During pre-service training (PST), you will live with a Dominican host family near the Peace Corps training center on the outskirts of Santo Domingo. The families are selected by training staff. Houses typically have electricity and running water (when these systems are operating). Your host family will provide you with a private room, and you will eat your meals with the family.
You will also live with a host family during the first three months of your Volunteer service. These host families are identified by the community and/or the host country agency and are approved by Peace Corps staff prior to your arrival. Living with a Dominican family allows faster integration into the community, provides a safe environment while you are settling in, and gives you time to look for independent housing should you choose to do so. During service, you are expected to live in the same type of housing commonly found in your community. Housing varies widely, depending on whether you live in a city, a large or small town, or a campo (rural) village.
Volunteers typically live in houses with tin or thatch roofs, walls of wood or cement block, and cement floors. Although some communities have electricity, a great many do not. Power outages are very common. The water supply is subject to the same inconsistencies. Many communities do not have water piped into houses. Rural families, for example, often have to walk to the nearest river or other water source for household water. Even if you live in a house with faucets, there is no guarantee that there will be water; it is common for water not to appear for days at a time. Volunteers placed in towns and more urbanised areas will also face some of these same challenges.
Living Allowance and Money Management
As a Volunteer, you will receive a monthly living allowance in the local currency (Dominican pesos; abbreviated as RD). The living allowance is meant to cover housing, utilities, household supplies, normal clothing replacement, food, transportation, moderate entertainment expenses, reading material, and incidentals. It will enable you to live modestly, at the same level as your neighbors and colleagues. Peace Corps/Dominican Republic will open a bank account for you and provide you with an ATM card. You will need to budget appropriately to make the living allowance last a month.
Additionally, you will receive a monthly vacation allowance equivalent to $24, paid in local currency at the same time as the living allowance. You will also receive a one-time settling-in allowance to purchase needed household furniture and equipment (e.g., a bed, a stove, kitchen items, and locks) and pay several months of advance rent if required.
Most Volunteers find they can live comfortably in the Dominican Republic with these allowances, so we strongly discourage you from supplementing the living allowance with money from home. Still, many Volunteers bring money from home for out-of-country travel. Credit cards can be used in many establishments in major cities, and traveler's checks can be cashed for a small fee.
Food and Diet
The Dominican diet consists primarily of rice, beans, yuca (cassava), plantains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other vegetables, along with eggs, chicken, pork, beef, and some fish. The national dish is sancocho, a rich vegetable-andmeat stew served on special occasions. A typical Dominican meal, called la bandera, is a mix of rice, red beans, and meat. Yuca may be boiled, prepared as fritters, or baked into rounds of crisp cracker bread called casabe. Most dishes are not spicy. Locally grown, seasonal fruits include bananas, mangoes, papayas, pineapples, guavas, and avocados. Dominicans generally eat small quantities of meat at meals. Bacalau (dried fish; usually cod) can be found in several areas, but fresh fish is generally available only along the coast. Habichuelas con dulce, a sweetened dish made from beans, is popular at Easter.
Vegetarians will be able to maintain their diet at home, but they will be offered—and expected to accept—traditional foods, including meat, when visiting Dominican families. You will have to be open and flexible about sharing in the Dominican diet when necessary.
During training, your host family will provide your meals. Once you are at your site, you can choose to eat with Dominicans or cook on your own. To supplement their diet, some Volunteers plant gardens at home.
Transportation is relatively easy in the Dominican Republic. Most urban travel is by bus and van, although carro públicos (a sort of shared taxi), are available as well. Intercity travel is by bus; rural travel runs the gamut from air-conditioned minibuses to crowded carro públicos to lots of walking. Although inexpensive, carro públicos are where most Volunteers experience pickpocketing and robberies. Do not travel in them at night.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to drive vehicles or motorcycles in the Dominican Republic. Violation of this policy will result in termination of your Peace Corps service.
Most Volunteers rely on public transportation to get around. But Volunteers can request assistance from the Peace Corps in arranging alternative means of local transportation. Volunteers can apply for and recieve limited funds to purchase a bicycle in the Dominican Republic. The Peace Corps will also provide you with a helmet, which you must wear at all times while riding a bicycle. Failure to abide by this policy will also result in termination of your Peace Corps serddd
With an average temperature range of 65 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, this Caribbean country is probably not as hot as you might think. It is difficult to define a rainy season, since showers can occur at any time during the year, depending on the area. However, the period of heaviest rainfall for most of the island is late April to early October, months that can be relatively hot and humid. The cooler season—from November to February—is pleasant but still warm, with temperatures from 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need both lightweight clothing suitable for hot weather and at least one heavier garment for traveling to cooler, mountainous areas such as the 10,417 -foot Pico Duarte, the highest mountain in the Caribbean. . chicken nuggets rock
Social Activities
Social activities in the Dominican Republic vary depending on where you are located. They include taking part in festivities such as Carnival, parties, and dances. Some Volunteers visit other Volunteers nearby on weekends for work-related or social occasions and will make an occasional trip to the capital. We encourage Volunteers to remain at their sites as much as possible to help accomplish the Peace Corps' goal of cultural exchange. Most regional capitals have cafés and restaurants, movie theaters, and other forms of entertainment.
Social life in the Dominican Republic often revolves around the family porch, where people talk while playing dominoes, a national pastime. Outdoor tables in front of homes, bars, and colmados (neighborhood markets) are surrounded by men who play for hours, especially on Sundays. Outdoor players are almost exclusively men, but everyone plays at home. Even young children become adept at the game. Baseball is the country's most popular sport. The competition is keen, and rarely does a day go by when children, youth, and even adults are not playing baseball with anything they can find to use as a bat and ball. Cockfighting is another national pastime, and the gambling stakes can be high.
Dominicans also love music and dancing. Merengue is the national dance, and many people, including small children, know the steps. The fast-paced, rhythmic music of merengue is traditionally performed with three instruments: a tambora (a small drum), a melodeon (similar to an accordion), and a guira (a scraping percussion instrument). Bachata is a another popular folk dance that is overtaking merengue in popularity. Salsa and other styles of Latin American music are popular, as are North American pop and jazz. Discos exist even in rural communities.
What has kept merengue alive over the years is its place in the Dominican Republic's Carnival celebrations. All of the major cities celebrate Carnival with zeal, incorporating music and dance into the street parades and other festivities. In Santo Domingo, Carnival occurs twice a year. The first occurs during the traditional pre-Lenten holiday. The second one, much smaller but just as festive, starts the day before August 16, which is the anniversary of the Dominican Republic's declaration of war against Spain in 1863.
Each July, Santo Domingo hosts a merengue festival along its main seaside strip, El Malecón. The street is closed off to make way for some of the country's most popular bands. Celebrations also take place at clubs, hotels, and even nighttime beach parties. Smaller merengue festivals take place in other towns.
Professionalism, Dress, and Behavior
Dominicans take pride in their personal appearance. To gain the acceptance, respect, and confidence of rural, urban, and government-level workers, it is essential that you dress and conduct yourself professionally. Standards of dress for foreign aid workers tend to be conservative and modest. Women are expected to wear casual pants or mid-length skirts for professional activities (excluding physical labor); men are expected to wear pants for professional activities other than sports and physical labor. Simply stated: first impressions will be informed by the way you dress. Establishing yourself as a professional technical resource in your community is a part of the overall challenge of adjusting to a new language and culture. Dressing as a professional will ease this process for you. Inappropriate dress may send unintended messages or invitations to co-workers and/or others in your community.
Out of respect for Dominican culture, Volunteers are not allowed to display body piercings. This includes nose rings, tongue bolts, and navel rings. Men are not allowed to wear earrings or have long hair or ponytails. If you do not remove your body rings and cut your hair before you arrive in the Dominican Republic, you will be asked to do so before you move in with a host family during training. Adherence to this policy is an important test of your motivation and commitment to adapt to the new environment. If you have reservations about this policy and the degree of sacrifice and flexibility required to be a successful Volunteer, you should reevaluate your decision to accept the invitation to Peace Corps/Dominican Republic.
The Peace Corps expects you to comport yourself in a way that will foster respect in your community and reflect well on the Peace Corps and on citizens of the United States. Drinking and smoking in public is strongly discouraged as Volunteers are seen as role models, especially among local youth. You will receive an orientation on appropriate behavior and cultural sensitivity during pre-service training. As a Volunteer, you have the status of an invited guest and must be sensitive to the habits, tastes, and taboos of your hosts. Behavior that jeopardizes the Peace Corps' mission in the Dominican Republic or your personal safety could lead to an administrative separation—a termination of your Peace Corps service. The Peace Corps Volunteer Handbook has more information on the grounds for administrative separation.
Personal Safety
More detailed information about the Peace Corps' approach to safety is outlined in the Health Care and Safety chapter, but it is an important issue and cannot be overemphasized. As stated in the Volunteer Handbook, becoming a Peace Corps Volunteer entails certain safety risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment (oftentimes alone), having a limited understanding of local language and culture, and being perceived as well-off are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk. Many Volunteers experience varying degrees of unwanted attention and harassment. Petty thefts and burglaries are not uncommon, and incidents of physical and sexual assault do occur, although most Volunteers complete their two years of service without personal security incidents. The Peace Corps has established procedures and policies designed to help Volunteers reduce their risks and enhance their safety and security. These procedures and policies, in addition to safety training, will be provided once you arrive in the Dominican Republic. At the same time, you are expected to take responsibility for your safety and well-being. This means being proactive in avoiding dangerous situations and reporting immediately to Peace Corps/Dominican Republic when there is an incident or emergency.
Rewards and Frustrations
Although the potential for job satisfaction in the Dominican Republic is quite high, like all Volunteers, you will encounter numerous frustrations. Because of financial or other challenges, collaborating agencies do not always provide the support they promised. In addition, the pace of work and life is slower than what most Americans are accustomed to, and some people you work with may be hesitant to change practices and traditions that are centuries old. For these reasons, the Peace Corps experience of adapting to a new culture and environment is often described as a series of emotional peaks and valleys.
You will be given a high degree of responsibility and independence in your work, perhaps more than in any other job you have had or will have. You will often find yourself in situations that require an ability to motivate yourself and your co-workers with little guidance from supervisors. You might work for months without seeing any visible impact from, or without receiving feedback on, your work. Development is a slow process. Positive progress most often comes after the combined efforts of several Volunteers over the course of many years. You must possess the self-confidence, patience, and vision to continue working toward long-term goals without seeing immediate results.
To overcome these difficulties, you will need maturity, flexibility, open-mindedness, and resourcefulness. The Peace Corps staff, your co-workers, and fellow Volunteers will support you during times of challenge as well as in moments of success. Judging by the experience of former Volunteers, the peaks are well worth the difficult times, and most Volunteers leave the Dominican Republic feeling that they have gained much more than they gave during their service. If you are able to make the commitment to integrate into your community and work hard, you will be a successful Volunteer.
Volunteers usually are readily accepted by their host community and make lasting friendships. However, for many Volunteers, constantly being asked personal questions, the lack of privacy, being considered a rich foreigner, and the need to be aware of different social mores can be trying. As in most Latin American countries, women in the Dominican Republic do not have the freedoms to which North American women are accustomed. A female Volunteer's inability to adapt to this reality can make her less effective and possibly even affect her safety.
The Peace Corps is not for everyone. Creativity, initiative, flexibility, patience, and a high tolerance for ambiguity are necessary attributes in confronting the challenges associated with facilitating change in a cultural setting different from the United States. Your dedication, however, can have real and lasting results. When your service is over, you will have the deep satisfaction of having played a role in a grassroots development process that helped give Dominicans greater control of their future.

RealAge sets a new low for unscrupulous behavioral targeting to sell drugs.
Is the RealAge quiz an unfair and deceptive trade practice? Where is informed consent?
Do the 27 million who took the test to find out if they are younger or older than their "biological age" really know that they are giving detailed information so RealAge can market drugs to them?
RealAge illustrates a critical problem with almost all health-related websites: people are actually going there for help – they appear to offer services, so people expect that health websites follow medical ethics and protect their privacy. But they don't. Health websites are not altruistic and don't adhere to medical ethics or privacy rights. Health-related websites offering rating scales, searchers, or information about diseases and treatments are typically just as deceptive: they also are designed primarily to collect personal information for personally-targeted marketing or worse.

After steady cuts in state funding for schools in Wisconsin over the past couple of years, two local districts are preparing for even more reductions.
This time, it's a result of the widespread federal spending cuts that kicked in at the beginning of the month.
Both the Sparta and Tomah School Districts receive Impact Aid from the federal government.
It's a program designed to help schools who lose funding from property taxes because they have families who live on federal land like military bases or Native American reservations.
Now those funds are on the chopping block.
"I tend to be a pretty optimistic person," said Tomah District Administrator Cindy Zahrte.
It's a character quality that's being put to the test.
"The last couple of years have been tough," said Zahrte.
Zahrte said the news of more funding cuts, this time from the federal government is hard to swallow.
The district receives an average of $170,000 of Federal Impact Aid a year.
Funding for the program will soon be reduced as part of the automatic federal spending cuts.
While it's just a piece of the district's $31 million budget, the cuts will still hurt.
"Every penny counts and we have been making cuts here and there and we're feeling like we're at a point where we're at bare bones. Every dollar is accounted for. There isn't a lot of flexibility and you're going to start seeing our facilities not looking as nice because we will not be able to keep maintenance up as much," said Zahrte.
The Sparta School District is also set to lose some of its Federal Impact Aid funding.
The district administrator, John Hendricks said they receive an average $17,000 a year, but the real impact will come from the combination of all the federal education cuts.
"I would anticipate that with all of our programs that will be impacted, that we receive federal funding for, we could easily see the loss of $140,000 to $150,000. We get to the point where we have to look through every line item and we're reducing a $100 here and $1,000 there all to make up for large amounts of money," said Hendricks.
According to the Associated Press, the U.S. Department of Education estimates about $60 million could be cut from Impact Aid this school year.
The Associated Press also reports 5 percent of funding from all U.S. Department of Education programs is being cut.

S3 Graphics today announced the arrival of the GammaChrome family of next generation graphics processors. Demonstrating full commitment to the PCI Express initiative, S3 Graphics is providing natively integrated PCI Express technology for all products instead of the 'bridge' technology offered by such companies as NVIDIA.
A full line of GammaChrome graphics processors will be provided starting from the high end utilizing the "latest fabrication technology", according to the official press-release. Both the high-end and mainstream segments will feature the next generation Chromotion 2.0 programmable video engine with new capabilities to enrich the video playback experience. S3 Graphics will also integrate their sought-after Hi-Def native HDTV output technology to compliment the Chromotion 2.0 engine. Finally, a value line of the GammaChrome will be available, too.
GammaChrome based products are expected to be available Q3 2004 in retail add-in-card as well as OEM desktop/notebook personal computers. S3 decided to refrain from sharing any of the GammaChrome features and specifications besides those few ones mentioned above. However, we suspect that GammaChrome will be actually based on the DeltaChrome architecture, which we have already covered in detail in our Review.

WWI Source is the first and only World War I game to be developed for Steam. All the current WWI mod teams ('The Trenches 2', 'Fields of Horror', 'WWI Source') have united to develop the best World War I game to the Steam community, using the latest Source engine.

Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
Hello there fellow trenchrats!
We've been quite silent as of lately, but dont worry; work on the mod is still being done despite the fact that most of us are busy with real life! Here's a little treat for you to show that we're still alive.
Some of you might recognize this map from the 1.13b version of WWI:S, it's our very popular map ww_somme which was made by our teammember 'Ztormi' back in the day. In 2.0 it has been remade and been improved both visually and gameplay-wise.
Credit for this new version goes to 'Semmel', an amazing mapper we have the privilege of having on our team.
Our new artillery-particles that you can catch a glimpse of in one of the pictures were made by the kind contributor 'Vman', and as you can probably see they are a huge improvement over the old ones.
Stay put for more news-material in the future!

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Logic: gaara can send sand from nuder his susanoo grab him like he did to lee and smash him to tiny pieces susanoo arrow< gaara's ultimate defence the only reason gaara looses is through PNJ and if he doesn't use his brainz
ur english is terrible ....... but i think i udnerstand wat ur saying ... but no as much as i like gaara i dont think gaara will win but it would be a tough match thats for sure
Sasuke is faster than gaaras sand...he has genjutsu tsukuyomi amaterasu with his speed he well get a clear shot eventually...
Lol, no.

No.sasuke can just jump.

I think he's only able to use the sand trick when the Susanoo is in an incomplete form (When the lower part of it's body hasn't been formed yet)

no, just...no
Bravo ...
Man sasuke is underatted

and i hate Sasuke
Gaara did take madara out of his susanoo, but I think Sasuke would win since he has EMS and maybe a upgrade but Gaara would put up a fight.
Sasuke doesn't need to use Susanoo he can simply summon his Hawk and dodge ever attack Garra does even Deidara bird which is slower than Sasuke Hawk dodge Garra Sand then Sasuke simply use Chidori and kill Garra, but i already expectated a Naruto fanboy to do such a usless and troll thread.
Ahahahahah i dont hate sasuke and the true is always bitter
fail thread and i'm at how you said nuder lol

What truth?
The truth that gaara>sasuke it hurts right? Mmmm fanboy!

JFK Asked for the Moon—Now It's Time for Obama to Ask for the Earth
Will the President finally use his bully pulpit to stop global warming in its tracks? Reprinted from TakePart.com – By Stephen Lacey – January 3, 2013 After a long period of silence on the issue during the campaign, President Obama now says that climate change is one of the top priorities for his second term. The President has been almost completely silent in his defense of the scientific community. If he wants to elevate the issue, he must defend the science. Period. As part of his 2012 "person of the year" interview with Time magazine, Obama said that he would make environmental issues—particularly climate change—a major focus in the next four years. "And so, on an issue like climate change, … Continue reading

When Is It Okay to Beat Your Wife?
Personally, I gotta be an advocate against domestic abuse of all kinds. Wife. Girlfriend. Kids. Whatevs… don't be beatin' people, dear readers! That's my advice.
Of course, that's not how it works everywhere. Take the Middle East, for example. Now I am no expert on Islam, but I have seen Law & Order and I know that in some Islamic communities, it's pretty common practice for a man to beat his wife… to forbid she leave the house… to cover her entire body if she does.
In the west, I know that if you beat your wife and your name is Brett Myers you get to enjoy success as a Major League Baseball player and make at least $5 million a year.
I know that if you beat your wife and you play football, you might be Jim Brown and everyone will still say you were one of the greatest athletes to ever live.
But I also know that if you beat your wife and try to run for Lieutenant Governor in the state of Illinois, you BETTER THINK TWICE BUDDY!
And so it is that Scott Lee Cohen (D-Chicago) was recently forced to withdrawal from the Lt. Governor general election he earned a right to be in… because he allegedly beat an ex-girlfriend. And he probably beat his wife… though we can't say for sure.
We can say for sure (probably) that, if nothing else, Cohen is a creep. I have no problems jumping on that bruited bandwagon, folks. But here is my question: Isn't Brett Myers a creep? Isn't Jim Brown a creep? Sugar Ray Leonard? Dr. Dre? Chris Brown? Darryl Strawberry? Moses Malone? Dwight Gooden?!?!?!?!
Don't you see what I'm saying?
Why is it okay to beat your wife and be a famous athlete or entertainer but it is definitely NOT okay to beat your wife and run for public office?
Believe me, no one knows nor cares (especially kids) who the Lt. Governor is. Of any state. No one cares. Less than 20% of the population even voted in this election… so I assure you, no one cares.
But lots of people (again, especially kids) care about who is pitching for the Astros… or who the Sporting News considers to be the greatest professional football player of all time… or who made Eminem famous.
Like it or not, those are the people who influence your kids. Those are the ones they look up to. Those are the ones they emulate.
So good luck trying to explain to your kid why Cohen is an @s$ but Jim Brown is a god.
This is why I don't have kids.
Well, that and I fail in making women happy long-term (short-term, no problem).
Don't hate me, 'cuz I"m right.

I think my brain might rupture after reading that…lol Seriously, good point. And having to explain to my kids all about the backwards crap that goes on in the world does make me ill sometimes. Like there are wife beaters and drug abusers in the Hall of Fame, but Pete Rose is out of baseball for betting his team would win? It is enough to make you wish you lived in an alternate universe; or maybe we already do and that is the problem. Ugh.
Jenn — I hear ya. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that conversation (yet???)… judging from your writing, I'm sure you do a pretty good job of it though.
I couldn't agree more!!! It's a shame that athletes are "glorified". I mean I admit I can get a bit over board on the respect and admiration towards certain people but I would never treat them as some higher power. As if they are any better than anyone else living in this planet. A wife beater is a wife beater whether you're a plumber or a Hall of Famer.
It's funny, people hate on baseball for steroids but I don't think we even have half the amount of jail birds than football does! It is difficult explaining things to children and certain times I don't think it's very fair at all. This also reminds me of this piece of news I picked up while surfing the internet about Lil Wayne and his whole jail stint for having illegal weapons or what not. His sentence was delayed so he could go to a dental appointment. If life was that easy for me……. Now human beings make mistakes but we need to stop making people in the media look godly and perfect
What? Mimi, are you saying Lil Wayne is NOT perfect? LOL. Just playin'… good points. I just don't like double standards… so when it comes to politics, I think a bit more work has to be done before we just throw someone under the bus.
Another Illinois politician did something wrong? Not possible! Seriously, you raise an interesting point. Baseball disciplines athletes for steroids and brawls, and there's a general clause in their contract about "conduct unbecoming…" or something like that – i.e. a morals clause. So why not use it in the case of wife beating? Maybe because teams are reluctant to get involved on the domestic front?
Jane — I know, right? 6 months is just too long without an Illinois politics scandal😉 What bothers me even more is how in the case of Jim Brown, Doc Gooden and other famous athletes, how those little social hiccups are glanced over like they weren't important when evaluating a player's career in whole. I'm not saying such a mistake or character flaw should dictate how we remember someone (see Ty Cobb) but I think the double standard for public figures should be, at least, addressed.
American society has changed so much since the days I was a kid and you could spank your child in the store or pull his pants down at a restaurant table to punish them.
Not saying it was right, but it was an accepted norm at the time.
As society has changed, the use of violence by anyone to rectify a situation has also diminished 100 fold. It has not made us weaker or even less inclines to violence, but has taught us tolerance instead of fists or belts.
This is a powder keg subject, but the real answer is simple "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
Rays Renegade
You raise a good question, Jeff. As an adult, I try to separate a player's actions on the field (his job) from those off the field (personal life). I try to appreciate the athletic accomplishments even though I might detest the player as a person. But kids can't do that (well, and probably some adults too). Same with musicians, actors, whatever. Thankfully this type of topic has not yet come up with my kids – I better start working on my answer now, it may take awhile to formulate a good one!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
RR — I love the golden rule and yes, everyone should heed it. It would eliminate a lot of pain and suffering from the world. Seriously.
Sue — Good idea. Until then, let us all hope more will follow Cliff's plea for the golden rule, eh? I think that's the most important thing I learned as a kid from my parents. Still works too!

It's a shame it had to come down to this, for both parties. At least now the players and coaching staff can focus 100% on the Knicks gameplan and not be distracted by this media frenzy.
I feel bad for Steph, his time on the Knicks is over and the past is the past, a talented player like him should have been smarter and got himself into position to play for a contender, instead he's gonna be rotting for god knows how long and fast losing his foothold in the NBA.

Government for the people?October 03,2013American flags werent flying at half-staff yesterday, but our national government was certainly floundering.
Across New England, beloved landmarks were closed for business. Some confused federal employees probably wondered whether they were essential or non-essential.
And in the midst of it all, Michael Capuano was quietly seething. The longtime Massachusetts congressman was not happy to see federal government brought to a halt. And he wasnt optimistic about a quick resolution to the first government shutdown in 17 years.
Its a combination of frustrated and pensive, he said of the mood among House Democrats. Its pretty obvious that were not going to repeal health care reform. That being the case, somebodys got to move, and weve moved already.
First elected in 1998, Capuano has become an insider among House Democrats. Although he would be loath to admit it, he has come to relish the daily battle with Republicans, who, he believes, are all too happy to accept the benefits from programs they vote against.
The stalemate that shuttered big chunks of federal government has widely been cast as a battle over the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. But Capuano sees it as a far broader battle over the scope of government itself, one in which, in his view, Republicans have won far too much already.
As we spoke by phone yesterday, plans were being gingerly floated to get the government going temporarily. Those ideas all involved budget cuts that went well beyond the current sequestration, furthering the stated Tea Party goal of shrinking government as much as possible.
How long the government will be held hostage to this dubious agenda is anybodys guess. Some observers believe that the shutdown could well last until the next manufactured Washington crisis, the looming showdown over raising the debt ceiling, just a couple of weeks away.
While this silliness was unfolding, Obamacare was becoming a reality. Tuesday was the first day for the uninsured to begin to sign up for its insurance plans. No matter how long the shutdown lasts, the chances of undoing health care reform seemed pretty remote. So really the John F. Kennedy Library and Faneuil Hall are closed for no good reason.
Of course, not everyone views this as a bad fight. Capuano said he was in an airport last weekend flying home from Washington when a TSA screener stopped him and said, You really need to cut our taxes! Capuano was incredulous to hear that from a federal employee, though he probably shouldnt have been.
I asked him, Do you know taxes pay your salary? Capuano said with a laugh.
Some have said the shutdown illustrates the large ideological gulf between House Republicans and the White House. Certainly that is true, though this divide is nothing new.
The more important disconnect may be between Washington or some factions of Washington and the rest of the country. Wed rather not have to think much about the federal government, that hydra-headed monster that invisibly wields so much power over our lives. But the people who have thought Americans dont care about having the government shut down have an unbroken record, so far, of being mistaken.
Love or hate the federal government, we tend to have this crazy idea that it belongs to us.
Capuano is the first to say that he isnt an optimist by nature. But he believes that there might be something to be gained from the madness gripping Washington.
For me, the silver lining will be if the American people come out of this with a reconnection with what is done with federal dollars, he said. There are 4,000 state jobs that are paid for with federal money, but nobody knows that. People are busy; I understand that. But people are going to have to look in the mirror and think about what they want their government to be.

This is one of the best Death Metal Albums I ever listened to. This virtuosity... I can't believe the crushing speed is really followed by those slow bone breaking doomy riffs. And I don't have to talk about the drumming I think because it's superb. I also love those instrumental songs with their oriental flair, just great. There will never be a Death Metal Album which can get near to this one in points of technical and atmospherical perfection. Congratulations, Nile! You made it into history as one of the greatest Death Metal Bands of all time.

Correcting that old post of JD's. Actually "kaffir" means "misbeliever" or infidel in general. Not necessarily atheist, could be used for anyone non-muslim.
Written by Angel N. on 12.09.2014 at 15:34
I'm not stalking you I was just curious to know what you would think about this one and then I must agree with you about your definition of Kafir, that's right.

I still have to give this one another go soon, I might have been just "fooled" by the good production. Compared to At The Gates Of See Through production.

Search family trees
Alongside its collections of historical data, Ancestry.co.uk and Ancestry.com has a huge community of active members. The site makes it easy to search all of their online discussions, details of members themselves and their research interests, and of course the family trees that they save at the site. Your own family tree can be found by other people in the same way – but only the information you choose to make public. The main search engine, under the 'Search' tab, will search members' information as well as historical records, or you can search and browse these sections separately.
Step 1
You can use the site's main search feature, under the 'Search' tab, to look through all member data. First make sure you are in 'advanced' mode by selecting 'Show Advanced' at the top of the form if it is present. Next try the 'Restrict to' options at the bottom if you don't want to see historical records in the results, for example.
Step 2
To search just the family trees that other members have saved at the site (public ones only), choose Public Member Trees under the 'Search' tab. As always, the more information you give, the fewer results there will be, but they will be more precise.
Step 3
You can use the Preview feature from the results page to get a snapshot of what the records contain. Just hover your mouse over the names of trees in the list and a summary of the record will pop up at the right.
Step 4
If you click on the tree name, you can then see the details of the record that relates to your enquiry. Note there is also an option to 'find a person in this tree' (top right) which you can use to limit a search to names only in this specific family tree.
Step 5
If you're browsing your own family tree at Ancestry.co.uk, you can look up any person in it in the site's historical records by using the 'Search for historical records' link in the Source Information section at the right. This section also shows you which historical records have already been attached to the person in your tree.
Step 6
The Member Connect feature also allows you to see whether other researchers are interested in the same individuals as you. If you connect to their trees, you can keep track as they enter more information about those individuals.
Step 7
You can also search the directory of members to find people who might share your specific research interests. You can refine your search by location, surname, interests and other criteria, and then send them a private message.

RUSH: You know what I think, folks? I actually ought to name myself an unofficial Obama advisor, because all last week I was asking, "Where is Obama?" I mean, Rome is burning and where is Obama? It's his plan everybody's waiting for. It's stability from his plan, whether it's a good plan or bad plan, everybody is waiting for it. Lo and behold, in mere moments right after this show begins Barack Obama the president-select is going to announce his economic team, ladies and gentlemen. Greetings and welcome. It's great to have you here. Thanksgiving week begins on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, El Rushbo back at the Southern Command. Always great to be home. Right on cue, there they come, right as this program (laughing) right as this program starts here comes the economic team to stand behind Obama.
We have Geithner. We have what looks like Christina Romer, who is a big tax cut babe. Did you know that? She's from UC Berkeley and she's window dressing, I think, but she's a big -- and there he is! The Messiah has now moved to the podium, ladies and gentlemen. He is going to make some announcements everybody already knows are coming. The stock market today is up a little over 300 points, and this is primarily due to the Citibank bailout. Folks, this bailout... Do you understand the total of these bailouts is now approaching $7 trillion? The Federal Reserve has pledged $7.4 trillion to ease frozen credit, $7.4 trillion, plus all these bailouts, all these stimulus packages. I guess Obama and the Democrats think that we're idiots here. They're repackaging his massive socialist agenda, his massive New Deal as a "jobs stimulus program" that will supposedly jump-start the economy. We know where this is coming from, folks.
Do you realize we are going to face...? For all of you who have been hearing from the Drive-Bys over the last eight years about how high the Bush deficit is and how punitive this is and how we gotta balance the budget and so forth, we're looking -- by the time these people finish, these central planners in Washington; by the time they finish, we're going to have -- in this fiscal year, which started October 1st -- we are going to have a federal budget deficit of 1.3 to $1.4 trillion. The federal budget in toto is just over $3 trillion, and where we gonna get the money? We're not printing the money. You can't just go out and print. We are going to borrow it. We are going to ask people from all over the world, nations all over the world to help subsidize this debt because our economy still determines the fate of the world economy, and they just keep saying $700 billion here, seems like the magic number, like 95% was the magic number on tax cuts and $250 was the magic number on tax increases.
Now we have all these bailouts of $700 billion here, $700 billion there, I am proud to say that I am one of the brave and few in this country not asking for a federal bailout, and I'm very proud to count myself among those not asking for a federal bailout. (interruption) The reason I'm not asking for a federal bailout, Mr. Snerdley, is that I have brains; and I know that I am one of the few, the proud, the brave, that's going to be helping pay for this. I might have to register as a bank, and I'm perfectly happy to be registered as a radio company. The Democrats, Chuck Schumer, they want to have a stimulus package on Obama's desk in January, the day he's inaugurated, of another $700 billion. Here, listen to Obama describe this. I said that he's repackaging his massive collectivist agenda as a jobs stimulus program. This is from the weekly radio address President-Elect Obama delivered on Saturday.
OBAMA: We'll be working out the details in the weeks ahead, but it will be a two-year nationwide effort to jump-start job creation in America and lay the foundation for a strong and growing economy. We'll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels, fuel efficient cars, and the alternative energy technologies that can free us from our dependence on foreign oil and keep our economy competitive in the years ahead. These aren't just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis. These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long. And they represent an early down payment on the type of reform my administration will bring to Washington; a government that spends wisely, focuses on what works, and puts the public interests ahead of the same special interests that have come to dominate our politics.
RUSH: There's so much here, but he's laying it out for you. He is promising you here a collectivist, socialist agenda. This is right out of FDR and the TVA and all these make-work projects, building roads, crumbling roads, bridges and so forth; and this is not just a one-step thing, this is the plan for the future. "Early down payment on the type of reform my administration will bring to Washington, a government that spends wisely." How in hell can anybody in Washington, I don't care what party they're a member of, say that there will be wise spending in Washington? The spending is out of control. It's over. There's no discipline whatsoever here, and this is being done by politicians who want to cement their power. They're trying to create as many of you in need as they can, particularly on the Democrat side of things. This is a rerun of FDR. In fact, we harped on the Rahm Emanuel sound bite from last Tuesday about the crisis here being an opportunity.
Lo and behold, in Newsweek, a big, long story here by Michael Hirsh and Daniel Gross entitled, "'Who's Watching the Money?' -- Yet with the economic news worsening every day, Obama found he couldn't ignore the growing power vacuum back east. ... So pervasive has the panic become that some critics were starting to point fingers back at Chicago." Wonder who those critics were? Wonder who these two guys happened to be listening to? Who was it last Thursday and Friday was asking, "Where is Obama?" And, lo and behold, Obama has shown up with the naming of his full-fledged economic team. Let me define "spending wisely," as Obama means it, and as the Democrat Party means it: "spending wisely" means spending everything and then some. "Wise spending" is a term for the government running as much as they can get their hands on. But listen to this paragraph from the Newsweek story.
"Some see political motives in all this foot-dragging. Obama may want to avoid being linked in any way to the policy failures of the Bush era. Harvard economist Ken Rogoff (a sometime adviser to John McCain during the campaign) says that by not 'taking ownership' of the problem now, Obama can reappear dramatically as a savior on Jan. 20 like Franklin Roosevelt in 1933, thereby reclaiming the commanding heights of US politics for the Democratic Party. 'It's exactly the FDR model. The [market] may sink another 10 percent, but then they can win elections for another 10 years,' Rogoff says. 'It makes sense politically to hang Bush out to dry, but Obama has to hang the economy out to dry at the same time.' Obama, in other words, may want to turn crisis into opportunity."
"[M]ay want to turn crisis into opportunity"? He is turning crisis into opportunity. This that he is announcing today with his economic team, his speech on Saturday, his radio address, all of this spending. This has nothing to do with reform; it has nothing to do with improving the economy. It will not work, not as you and I define work. It will work for them. It will work for Obama and the Democrats. It will continue to create crisis. It will not create two-and-a-half million private sector jobs. It may create two-and-a-half million government jobs. They could do that overnight if they wanted to, and that may be what they intend.
RUSH: Two-and-a-half million jobs would more than double the federal workforce, or thereabouts, if that's what he has in mind. By the way, does anybody want to continue the discussion that Obama is governing from the center, that Obama is a moderate? This is full-fledged, FDR, New Deal collectivism that he is outlining; and I listened to a little bit of his announcement ceremony that's taking place today, and it is pretty much what I thought it would be. He's making these radical proposals, all of this crazy, unaccounted for spending. But he is doing it with an air of confidence and assuredness that is a continuation of the image. It's sort of like the way FDR mesmerized people with the fireside chats. He just inspired confidence. He sounds like he knows what he's doing; he sounds like he's in charge; he sounds like he's got his hands in the till on everything, knows what's going on here, ordering his team around, telling them to get back to him, get something done here soon after he's inaugurated. Given the nature of our society today and population, this kind of confidence at first will garner support for what Obama wants to do.
RUSH: Now, when Obama started the stock market was up 325. He started his press conference right as this program began. That is not an accident, ladies and gentlemen. The stock market now is down to just over 200, 204.78, so it's down 120 points, 125 points or so since The Messiah began his meeting announcing his economic team. Once again there were no specifics announced. And that, I think, is going to be pretty common. What he's trying to do is sell what he will not tell us. He's going to sell us with an air of authority and confidence and assuredness. "Don't worry, everything is going to be all right. I'm on it. My team is on it," and this will work at first. This will give people some pause. I don't know. I may be speaking out of turn. It doesn't appear that it has calmed Wall Street. Wall Street's coming back a little bit now, 226. So it's down a hundred points. We should specify that the reason the markets launched up today was the Citigroup bailout, not the anticipation of Obama's team. Obama's press conference caused a spike. It was as low as 150 points.

Typhoon Haiyan (also known as Typhoon Yolanda) caused widespread devastation when it struck the Philippines on November 7, 2013. With maximum sustained winds of 195 mph (314 km/h) and a storm surge of 20 feet, the typhoon is among the strongest ever to make landfall.
Military, government and international relief agencies are trying to get emergency aid to the worst-hit areas but rescue efforts have been difficult due to damage to roads and airports. An estimate of up to 5,000 or more people have died in Tacloban city and elsewhere with hundreds of thousands of people displaced seeking for food and water and running out of time.

I know that everything that happens in my life is easier if I have a positive attitude. On occasions, my oldest daughter, age seven, seems emotional and overwhelmed by some of her problems at school or on her sport team. (This is of course completely normal, but I thought that trying to show her that staying calm in difficult situations helps is more effective than constantly telling her to stay calm.)
My attempt at staying calm, composed and positive was tested this week, when I took my five angels to see a museum. We got ready early in the morning, got into our car and started for our 45 minute drive toward the museum.
The day was beautiful, everything seemed perfect, and even though I hadn't talked to my husband in weeks, I know he is fine because he left a short message on my answering machine.
I was happy and content … until my mini-van stopped dead on the road, right before entering a bridge. I don't know much about cars, but I couldn't seem to resuscitate my vehicle. It was completely unresponsive and I quickly called road side assistance. Luckily, I was on the right lane of a two lane road, and I put my blinkers on, but I could quickly see angry drivers behind me wanting to pass and giving me dirty looks in the process.
I tried to turn my rear view mirror all the way around, so that I wouldn't stare at the growing traffic jam I created, though through no fault of my own, but my children were getting antsy and started asking, then crying why the car wasn't starting, why was everyone blowing their horns, and could I fix it quickly?
I felt pressured to do something, but was determined to stay positive and show my oldest daughter and the younger kids that even under pressure staying calm helps out. I suggested singing some songs to pass the time — the kids shot me down immediately. I have a terrible voice. I tried games, guess what animals I am thinking of, but the kids were getting restless.
Then, as I turned my head to the right I saw the back of a Starbucks' coffee shop. Great! We could walk a few feet and sit inside while we waited for roadside assistance. What's best, when I told the woman who was preparing the coffee that we were waiting for road side assistance she gave all five of my children mini vanilla hot milks. What a nice gesture!
This act of kindness made our little crisis so much easier to deal with, and I think our efforts to stay calm and positive also helped out and hopefully show my children that this is the best way to deal with unexpected emergencies.
My car will eventually be ok. Now, I need to focus on keeping a positive attitude when I get the bill form the shop, which will be astronomically high. Starbucks or not, I will keep trying. The road to becoming a better person, mom, wife and neighbor may be long, but I am not one to give up easily.

November 28, 2012 —
With the arrival of Santa Claus in various locales throughout the region, including the James Dworetsky Holiday Parade in Jeffersonville, NY on November 23 and the Santa Parade in Honesdale, PA on the same night, the holiday season has officially arrived in the Upper Delaware Valley.
The parade in Honesdale, with Santa bringing up the rear, proceeded up Main Street to 10th, where it took a turn for Central Park. There, the people were serenaded by members of the Choralaires, as part of the traditional tree-lighting ceremony, and then children visited with St. Nick.
The scene in Jeffersonville was similar, with lots of floats decked out in the colorful lights that go with the season. Several fire companies took part in the festivities including trucks from Kauneonga Lake, Youngsville, Eldred and Callicoon.
