An outpatient alcohol treatment program is one that does not require that the individual be confined to a treatment center or hospital for supervised care. This approach allows an individual to enjoy the freedom of his/her own life, while also attempting to overcome their dependency on alcohol.
The first tip to successfully completing an outpatient alcohol treatment program is actually wanting to overcome the illness. Alcoholism is a disease but, unlike many others, it can be effectively treated. In order to be treated, however, the patient must want to rid their life of alcohol.
During an outpatient alcohol treatment program, an individual will be required to attend regular meetings. Also known as 'AA,' which is short for Alcoholics Anonymous, this support group is common for those who need to know that they are not alone. This approach also provides a support system for it's members to rely on other members if they feel the need to drink. A 'sponsor' is an individual that someone attempting to recover from alcoholism can call if he/she is thinking about drinking or if they relapse into a situation where alcohol is involved. Prior to completing an outpatient alcohol treatment program, an individual will be required to attend meetings, openly discuss their dependency and try to find ways to overcome it.
Because an outpatient treatment program entails the individual continuing to live in his/her own home rather than a treatment center or hospital, one important step to successfully combating alcohol is to remove it from the household. This includes wine, beer and anything that may tempt an individual to drink. By removing alcohol from the home, a recovering addict will lessen the likelihood of being able to have a drink of convenience. This is a very important step in successfully completing an outpatient alcohol treatment program.
As a general rule, an outpatient alcohol treatment program can be participated in voluntarily, but is also often required by a court of law when/if an individual is arrested and convicted of DUI (Driving Under the Influence). As part of probation, many alcoholics are ordered to attend regular meetings and undergo any screenings and/or treatment that their physician feels necessary.
This article is to be used for informational purposes only. The information contained herein is not intended to be used in place of, or in conjunction with, professional medical advice or recommendations regarding an outpatient alcohol treatment program. Before deciding on the most effective method of treatment, the patient must consult a licensed medical doctor for advice and/or to determine the best course of action for his/her individual situation.
How To Permanently End An Alcohol Problem
As an EX-alcoholic user (no longer a "recovering" one for 24 years now after 18 years of use), I'm happy to present here the method that accomplished that for me and that I guarantee will also work for you.

So, you're looking for the best penny auction site? You've come to the right place. But finding the best penny auction site on the web is not that easy. There are dozens of different penny auctions on the web, we've scoured them all and have brought you the best examples. Different people will have different requirements according to their own goals and needs when it comes time to bidding.
|Penny Auction Site
|35% off plus Free Bids
|Above Average
|HappyBidDay Review
|25 Free Bids
|Beezid Review
|Free Bids on Signup
|Largest on the Internet
|QuiBids Review
Before you buy bids from a penny auction site, make sure that you are getting the most value for your money. Some sites will lower their per bid cost if you buy bulk packages. For example, a 1,000 bid package might cost $0.60 per bid while a 50 bid package might cost $0.90 for each individual bid. Most sites offer free bonus bids at signup. If you are going to be serious about penny auctions, you will want to save your money. This means trying to get the lowest per bid cost possible. This will save you money if you intend on treating penny auctions as a serious venture. Another strategy to lower your per bid cost is to bid on more bids. Some sites will have bid packages up for auction. In many instances, you can get bid packages at an even lower cost than the biggest bulk package.
Best Penny Auctions 2014
Finding the best penny auction site goes beyond the cost of bids. You also want to make sure that you will be able to bid upon the items that you want. The bigger the site is, the wider the variety of items up for auction. Small sites might just have gift cards and electronic items. If this is what you are looking to bid upon, then the small site will work out well. But if you don't want to be limited in what you can bid on, the bigger sites will be more to your liking.
A big site can be tough for a new penny auction bidder. The bigger sites might have more items, but they also have more bidders. The more bidders involved in an auction, the harder the auction is to win. So for beginners, the best penny auction site can be very different from an experienced bidder's best site. Many sites realize this and have special arrangements for their newbies. Some sites take new bidders under their wing with special types of auctions. This restricts people who have won auctions before and does not allow them to bid. Only folks who have never won an auction on their site are allowed to bid.
Of course, this can be used to your advantage. If you have a lot of experience with penny auctions in other sites, you can join one of the big sites and clean up in a newbie auction since you have never technically won an auction at the new site. This is a great strategy—many sites have this option just to attract new traffic to their site.
So when you are trying to find the best penny auction site out there, you need to account for several things. The site's traffic: are the auctions crowded with many different bidders, or is there only two or three people contesting an item? The diversity of items: does this site have the type of item you want or need? And finally, the cost of bids: do you get a good discount on buying bulk packages, or are all bids the same regardless of how many you wish to purchase? If you are from other countries outside the USA, don't worry you have plenty of World Penny Auction Options.
Penny auctions are complex and difficult to win. But with a little guidance, you can truly find the best penny auction site in 2012 for your skill set and you will be able to perfect your strategy there.

Lip Taken Out Of Service
The 670,000 women in the British service industry won't let you call them sweetheart — or baby, or darling, or sweet cheeks, or even honey. Just like the women in 9 to 5 sans the ball-gagged boss, Women and Equalities Minister Harriet Harman is putting an end to womanizing in overlooked workplaces. Minister Harman has used her new position to create a statute that will require bar, restaurant, hotel, and even gym managers to be responsible for protecting their female employees from sexual harassment. Since service industry jobs are known for their client lip service, the change is expected to cost British companies 10 million pounds to enforce, according to the government office. So while sexist comments might make the employees feel cheap, the repercussions certainly aren't. Since Minister Harman has the power to amend any discrimination law, she was able to bypass parliament to take care of business. Although her opponents have been vocal, they're not exactly troubling. The Centre For Public Policy Study's right-wing think tank member Jill Kirby snapped that, "It is trying to legislate against everyday behavior.†Um, riiiiiiiight. This isn't some Chicken Little law. Employees will have to document at least three incidents in which management refused to intervene before an employee can file a complaint. So, if you're against protecting working women from being, as the amendment states, "subjected to any conduct related to their sex which violates their dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment," perhaps you should stay home because you are not welcome in public eateries, pubs, clubs, hotels, or anywhere else for that matter.

For the first time in 21 years, the Chants earn a spot in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament
For the first time since 1993, Coastal Carolina University made it to the Big Dance. Earning a 16 seed in the East Region, the men's basketball team played No. 1 seed Virginia on March 21 in Raleigh, N.C.
Coastal Carolina University did well enough in the first half to allow the Chanticleers to believe they could become the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The event brought unprecedented positive media exposure to the university. Based a on media tracking report commissioned by CCU, the game generated approximately 5,000 news stories that promoted the University and the Chanticleers. The advertising value equivalency—what this exposure would cost if it were advertising space or time—of this coverage adds up to nearly $85 million with more than 9 billion potential viewers.
The Chanticleers led by 10 in the first half and five at halftime. Although the game finally ended in a 70-59 loss, the coach, the team and the fans felt that the Chants competed respectably.
"We felt real good at halftime," guard Eric Smith said. "We did a good job early on following the game plan, which was to control the boards, take good shots when we get them."
It was the Chants' third appearance in the NCAA Tournament and first since 1993. CCU's first trip to the tournament came in 1991.
Head coach Cliff Ellis is just the 10th coach in NCAA Division I history to lead four different programs in the NCAA Tournament and holds a career 6-7 record in the NCAA Tournament. He has taken two teams to the "Sweet 16," including his 1990 Clemson squad and his 1999 Auburn team.
Ellis Receives the Gene Bartow Award
Coastal Carolina University men's basketball head coach Cliff Ellis recently received the 2014 Gene Bartow Award from CollegeInsider.com.
Ellis led Coastal to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993 and became just the 10th coach in NCAA Division I history to lead four different programs to the NCAA Tournament. He holds a career 8-9 record in the NCAA Tournament. He has taken three teams to the "Sweet 16" including his 1990 Clemson squad, his 1999 Auburn team and his 2003 Auburn team.
This is the second year of the Gene Bartow Award, named after longtime coach Gene Bartow. The award recognizes those who have made outstanding contributions to the game, on and off the floor. Last season, Pacific's retiring coach Bob Thomason won the inaugural award.

SPORTS >> Cabot tops Jackrabbits to remain undefeated
Leader sports writer
Cabot managed to keep its unbeaten streak alive Friday night at the Panther gymnasium by beating Lonoke 43-40. But they didnt do it without a serious fight from the Jackrabbits.
Lonoke controlled the second half of the game up until the very end, when post Chad Glover put the Panthers back in the game with some last-minute heroics that have become the seniors calling card this year.
You have to tip your hat to Lonoke, Cabot boys coach Jerry Bridges said. They really out-scrapped us. We finally started taking advantage of Chad inside, and it started paying off for us. We did a poor job of rebounding in the first half, but in the second half, we picked it up. Our defense is really what gave us a chance to win this game.
The game was closely contested right from the start, as the lead changed hands five times in the opening quarter alone. By the end of the first, Lonoke held a narrow 9-7 lead.
Glover tied the game to start the second quarter, but Lonoke began to speed up the games pace. The Panthers man-to-man pressure began to lose its potency, as the Jackrabbits kept the ball and the Cabot D on the constant move. Stanley Staggers helped Lonoke stay out front with six straight points in the final three minutes of the second period. Lonoke looked like it would carry the lead into the half, but four straight points from Cabot sub Jacob Trammell gave the Panthers a 21-20 lead at halftime.
The opening 3:18 of the third quarter was all defense, as a free throw from Staggers at the 4:42 mark was the first score from either team in the second half. The scoring pace picked up quickly from there, as the Jackrabbits continued to out-hustle the Panthers. Lonoke went on a seven-point run to take a 27-21 advantage by the 3:17 mark.
Cabot refused to let the game slip away, however, as they put themselves back in contention with a three pointer from guard Justin Haas and an inside basket from Glover. At the end of three, Lonoke held a 31-27 lead.
Until the fourth quarter began, Glover had just nine points on the night. By games end, he would have 23 total points, including seven of eight from the free-throw line in the final period. A free throw from Matt Shinn was the only non-Glover point for Cabot in the final eight minutes of the game.
The Jackrabbits answered Glovers sudden inside domination with good all-around shooting, as Kylon Boyd, Eligha Gooden and Walter Ellis all put points up from outside the low block to keep Lonoke out in the lead.
Glover finally got the Panthers back out in front at the 3:09 mark with a pair of free throws to put them ahead 39-38.
Two free throws from Boyd a minute later gave the lead back to Lonoke. After another inside jumper from Glover gave Cabot the lead back at 41-40, the final 1:38 of the game became a back-and-forth battle of turnovers and timeouts.
Two timeouts from Lonoke whittled the clock down to 6.6 seconds, with the Jackrabbits in position to win the game with a last-second shot.
That shot would never be taken, as Glover covered Staggers on the ensuing in-bounds attempt. Staggers could not get the ball past the Cabot seniors 69 frame, and Lonoke was called with the five second violation to give the ball back to the Panthers.
Another pair of free throws from Glover in the final five seconds to put the game away for Cabot, as the Panthers narrowly escaped their first loss of the season.
Eligha Gooden led Lonoke with 14 points, five rebounds and three steals.
Lonoke and Cabot both have this week off for Christmas break, but will return to action Dec. 28 in the opening round of the Harrison tournament.

There is not a day go by that someone doesn't ask me about Yoli. They want to know more about it and why I promote it with the Liquid HCG Diet. The answer is simple!
People love to drink beverages especially while on the HCG Diet. Unfortunately, most are loaded with chemicals, preservatives, fillers and other harmful ingredients, none of which are there for improving your health.
Modern manufacturing processes require that liquid beverages be pasteurized, also called hot-filled, in order to increase shelf life. Unfortunately, in addition to preventing bacterial buildup, this boiling process also destroys the vast majority of active, healthy ingredients in the formulation.
The ingredients that are lucky enough to survive, deteriorate daily while sitting in liquid form. By separating the actual ingredients from the water until the moment you're ready to consume your beverage. Nutrients suspended in liquid, heat processed and chemically preserved are nutritionally dead. Caffeine, taurine and sugar are addictive and do not belong in nutritional supplements.
Yoli eliminates all of the bad and locks in only the good ingredients. It's made with Vitamin C and some of the most popular ingredients of the day: Pomegranate, Alkaplex®, Acia extract, Gogi Berry, Resveratrol, Oxyphyte™ White Tea extract and Probiotics.
Best of all, there is No Sugar: they use Herbal Sweeteners (Stevia Reb-A & Xylitol), which have virtually ZERO calories, so you can drink it while on the HCG diet.
In short, Yoli is extremely healthy for you, has no harmful preservatives, is packed with vitamins, nutrients probiotics and tastes great! If you have a sugar craving while on the diet, it helps satisfy that too.

ADD ME IF YOU WANT TOO!
Katie Lathrop Poems
A Never Ending River
The tears run down my face like a river, a never ending river, the pain and the blood shed, a never ending river,
I Hear Wedding Bells
I hear the wedding bells ring, they are like a song that sings from the heart, My father takes my arm and whispers in my ear that i am beautiful, I am slowly walking down the ale,
Web Of Lies
Web of lies Weave their way through and through people Like a flu that never goes away, it spreads from person to person With the web and their lies they connive, cheat and steal
No One
I cry out, But no one hears me, I scream, But it is only a whisper,
It Ends With A Bang
I take a deep breath, tears are running down my face,
the blood runs down my face, the tears that i can't stop crying, the bruses, and the burns, you say that you still love me,
Little Girl
The little girl is in her room, with the door locked and she is crying, as she thinks of all of the pain in her life, her mom doesn't care care at all and her dad just hates her,
Gone Amiss
I think of all the pain and the hate and all of the lies, but I hide it with a smile, I am alone in this world, the pain is hard to hold back,
In The Fire
The fire burns inside of me, it swallows me hole, i can't breath, it is burns,
Can'T Take It
Peaces of shattered glass on the ground, My fist clenched blood flowing down my hands and wrists, My rage overpowers me, I can't take it any more,
The pain up and down my arms, all of it was harm, scares and cuts up and down my legs and arms, no one will help me,
Razzer Blade
The blade my drug, it goes deeper and deeper in to my veils, there is no pain only anger, the blood flows down my wrist,
The Darkness
The darkness is all around me, I see nothing but the dark, I hear the voices, But i am not listening to them,
When I die when I cry, When I see ever body, staring at me, I wonder why don't I,

Welcome to the unofficial site of the
Iranian Special Operation Forces
This site is dediceted to the enduring memories of all my fallen brothers in arms of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88), specially my fallen Ranger brothers, some of whom I've had the honor and privilege to serve & fight alongside with.
(I reckon we all died a little in that damn war, one way or another!)
- Please Note : This site contains Declassified information! For this reason, I've deliberately used some old statistics.
A brief history :
The modern Iranian Army was first founded between 1910 -1936 and it was trained by Swedish, British, Russian and German officers .
After the WW2, American and British helped to trained regular Army, Special Forces, The Imperial Guard and Marines until 1978 .
After 1978 revolution against Shah's dictatorship and the stablishment of the Islamic Republic (dictatorship), and beginning of the war against Sadaam's invasion of the southern Iran, the Iranian were determined to build self-independent and strong forces to drive Iraqi's occupying army out of southern Iran and maintain a strong hold against any potential transnational agressions.
The valuable "real world" lessens in modern warfare they were taught during the war are amoung the best training you can get .
Today's Army is a total of c. 1.000.000 strong men : 5 armour/artillery divisons, 8 infantry divisons, 3 fully equipped Airborne divisons (and 1 brigade), 2 Ranger/Airborne divisons and 2 Air Cavalry (Army Aviation) brigades . (2010)
The Revolutionary Guard Corp (Army, Air Force & Navy) is NOT included .
Each division has its own personnal & administration, signal, engineer, artillery, intelligence & security, anti-tank/-airplane, liaison (political-ideological directorate, including Psychological warfare unit), chemical/biological, logistic& support and medical units .
Special forces :
Iranian "Special Operation Forces" (Spec Ops) are carefully selected military units manned by highly motivated, highly skilled, high caliber professional personnel with unique and unusual skills, doing the audacious, usually behind enemy lines. They are extremely well-trained for specific rather than general purpose and undertake unusual tasks that ordinary units might accomplish only with greater difficulty and far less effectiveness, such as :
They train for missions which only they conduct. The actual execution of "real world" missions can be either openly acknowledged, clandestine or covert .
- Those involving insurgency, counter insurgency, resistance, counter terrorism, guerilla warfare and conducting raids, sabotage and intelligence operations .
- Are unorthodox, comparatively low-cost, potentially high pay-off, often covert or clandestine methods that support warfare across the entire spectrum of conflict .
There are five principle missions which are assigned to the Iranian Special Operations :
1) Unconventional warfare (UW) :
UW is the military aspect of an insurgency or other armed resistance movement. UW encompasses a broad spectrum of military operations conducted in enemy controlled or political sensitive territory. It includes guerrilla warfare, subversion, sabotage, intelligence collection, and other operations of a low visibility or clandestine nature.
UW operations are primarily conducted by indigenous or surrogate forces who are organized, trained, equipped, supported and directed by the Iranian Special Operations Forces .
UW participants are organized into three elements :
During Iran-Iraq war, iranian Spec Ops personnel worked with the iraqi kurds (in the north) and iraqi Shia (in the south) to attack/ambush iraqi forces inside Iraq, and also intelligence-gathering for DA operations.
- the guerrilla force is the overt military arm,
- the auxiliary element provides clandestine support to guerrillas,
- the underground element operates in small cells and conducts subversion and sabotage.
2) Direct Action (DA) :
Missions which are offensive operations conducted in low-visibility or clandestine manner. DA missions often employ raids, ambushes, or direct-assault tactics. Other missions involve emplacing demolitions or booby traps, conducting sabotage, providing terminal guidance for laser-guided munitions, or personnel/material recovery (such as shot-down pilots), threat personnel/material snatches.
DA missions are usually short in duration and have a planned exfil. They are designed to achieve significant, well-defined, and often time-sensitive results.
3) Special Reconnaissance (SR) :
Places "eyes on the target" to obtain well-defined, time-sensetive information. It may complement other collection efforts, or be the only method when there is a problem with weather, terrain masking, or enemy's counter measures. Typical SR missions include target acquisition, contact with resistance forces, reporting on enemy movements, surveillance of sensitive facilities, surviellance of enemy's key political and military personnel, marking targets for "Fire & Forget" weapons, and meteorological or hydrographic reconnaissance to support conventional operations (incl. support of Marine and fleet operations) .
4) Counter Terrorism (CT)/ - Insurgency: (- or as the israelies call it : "Active Defence" )
Elite commando units in the Iranian armed forces who take offensive actions (proactive intervention , military assault) against terrorists and their bases /infrastructures (search & destroy), or hostage rescue missions (Combat Search and Rescue), often behind enemy-held territory or in foreign countries (posed as civilians, if necessary), using very special equipments.
These are SOLDIERS who are not trained to arrest terrorists (- unless they're high value targets), negotiate with or to interrogate them. Their missions are to activly seek out and to kill terrorists and rescue hostages, or just kill terrorists (pre-empting strike). No questions asked .
Their missions are always highly classified, their existence are covered, and they work closely with the iranian intelligence agancies .
Operating in teams as large as 15, or as small as one, the iranian CT- units are capable of taking down any type of vehicles, aircrafts, ships, buildings, or facilities.
The official policy of the hostage rescue missions involving iranian CT-operators (- opposed to AT-ops) is that all hostages are assumed to be already dead at the beginning of the operation, which makes the terrorists as the primary targets. Taking out hostages out of equation, so to speak, although sounds brutal, gives a freer hand to operators to deploy the best tactics in such operations, and at the same time to discourage any future hostage-takers. It means : "If hostages have no value for us, there is no point for you to take them in the first place!", goes the logic behind the idea. Of course the world is full of nutcases who never learn ;-)
CT missions require close coordination, extreme team work, and the ability to make life-and-death decisions in an instant.
Very few countries have such these units which can truly considered as CT : Iranian "Tactical Assault Team","Air Sea Assault Commandos" and "Zarbat Team"; US Army "DELTA Force" & Navy SEAL "Team 6"; British army "22 SAS. Reg" & Navy "SBS."; Russian Army/Navy "Spetsnaz"; and israeli army "Seyarat Met Kaal".
CT is the surgical military tool used by politicians in their foreign policy to achieve political objectives, which also explains why so few countries have CT units.
When the respective government decides to put a CT unit in action, it means they don't want any prisoners. The whole purpose is to send a massage to the terrorists : "We can get you anywhere at anytime ".
Here are some known cases to make my point :
- Raid on Usama Bin Laden's residence and killing him by U.S. Navy Seals (Team 6) (2011).
- Hunting down high-value leaders of Al-Quida by U.S. special forces around the Globe since 2003, mostly by air-to-surface missiles from drones (Targeted Assassination)
- Killing members of the PLO, Hamas and other palestinian organisations since 1970 to present by israeli CT-units, either by shooting them with firearms or "painting" their cars/homes with laser to guide the laser-guided air-to-surface missiles and bombs toward the targets. (- Yep! in this context, it considers as a CT ops too!)
- Libanon, October 1985. Four Soviet diplomates were kidnaped by libanese terrorists. After collapse of negotiations, an Spetsnaz Team were send to the lebanon. They kidnapped some relatives of the hostage-takers, cut their testicles and put them in their mouth, shortley before they were shot in the head. The severed heads were then sent to the militia. Three days later the hostages were released. (- That's what I call "Soviet effectiveness", with somewhat brutallity!)
- During 1970's, 80's and a bit in the 90's, South African special forces conducted raids against various rebel groups in the neighbouring countries. As the standard operating procedure , they killed every rebel they could find. Classic Counter-Insurgency operations.
- Entebbe (Uganda) hostage rescue operation (1976) by israeli army special forces where all the hijackers but one were killed
- Hunting down the terrorists responsible behind the Munich Olympics (1972) incident by israeli Mossad's assasinators
- Killing IRA members in Northern Ireland in the 1970's until 1990's by British SAS. Operation "Flavius", 6 th March 1988, during which three Provisional IRA terrorists were gunned down in broad daylight on the streets of Gibraltar by SAS is a good example of such.
All of these operations have three things in common as the original hallmark of such these missions:
1. There were all carried out by military personnels.
2. There were all executed in foreign countries as opposed to the unit's native country.
3. There were (almost) No prisoners!
Note : An Anti Terrorist (AT) unit, is an elite unit in the police force (-almost exclusively, but not always) of every country who takes defensive measures (reactive intervention) to defend against or preclude terrorist attacks. These are specially trained POLICE officers. Beside operators, they also have crisis-negotiator who are trained in understanding psycology.
Iranian police "Hostage Rescue Force" and Iranian Army "65th Brigade"; American "SWAT"-team; Russian "Alpha"-team; German "GSG9" and French "GIGN" are some examples of such units .
Iranian Army "65th Brigade" sleeve patch
Any police/military organization can conduct AT activities, but CT are always conducted by Spec Ops forces with highly specialized capabilities .
Any "potato" unit world-wide wrongfully calls itself and its operations as CT now these days, with the help of ignorant media and politicians, although the correct term is AT (-if even so) ;-). Personally I find it insulting to those hard-working brave men in the shadows who risk their lives to protect us from the bad guys :-)
5) Consolidation operations : are long-term population security measures which protect the population and neutralize the insurgent infrastructure :
The classic examples of such these operations are fighting kurdish terrorists/-insurgents in the iranian Kurdish areas (c. 1970 - c. 2000).
- Strike operations destroy the insurgent forces, their bases areas, and isolate them from their support.
- The goal of Remote area operations is to create "islands of support" in insurgent controlled territory.
- Border security comprises combat operations to prevent and interdict the infiltration of insurgents or smugglers .
Another example is in Iraq, where since 2014, Iranian Spec Ops operatives are cooperating with the Iraqi & Kursih forces to fight against I.S.I.S. (DAESH).
Iranian Special Operation Forces are normally the first to enter and last to leave a combat area. These forces are ready, versatile, and able to operate and carry out the most varied of combat activities and pacifications in any environment .
They can infiltrate and exfiltrate undetected by air, land, or sea into areas other forces can not approach without hostile reaction. They have self-contained medical ability and are capable of living under harsh conditions with little support .
They are extremely flexible and expected to be proficient at mastering :
- tactical field communications (radios, infrared, microwave transmitters, etc.)
- field medical
- military intelligence
- weapons handling (such as light artillary, small arms, anti-tank weapons)
- knifefighting/throwing skills up to 6-8 m
- explosives (conventional & improvised)
- sniper/countersniper
- escape resistance and evasion
- structure penetration, boarding and securing vessels
- prisoner search/- snatch and handling, hostage situation management
- Close Quarter Battle (CQB)
- urban/build up areas warfare
- small unit tactics
- long range reconnaissance and patroling, skiing, mountain warfare, motocross/truck driving
- NBC warfare
- team training and leadership, individual and team movements
- and land, sea and airborne operations, among other things.
The idea is that any plutoon/team member can be called upon to perform other member's specialities if need should ever arises. Take it from me, when you're deep behind enemy lines, and I've had fair share of it back in my days, that need will occure, sooner or later!
Extreme environment survival is naturally part of their training. The differnces between the civilian survival and the military one are :
Tracking skills, useful for finding enemy soldiers behind friendly lines, or animal for food during escape & evasion are also thought during basic training, as well as counter-tracking skills, deployed during escape & evasion scenarios behind enemy lines.
- A civilian/advanturer chooses where to go for his advanture and therefore choose the comfortable and suitable path, along with the suitable equipment. A soldier does not have these luxuries. He'll be sent whenever and wherever crises/conflicts appears.
- A civilian can take many survival equipments with himself to the nature, such as plenty of food, tent, extra water, various tools etc. A soldier carrying his military load (ammonution, explosives, weapons) and other military equipments (- Typically 30-60 kg load depending on the mission specifications), can at the best take a survival knife and probabley a small axe/shovel.
- A civilan in a survival situation, doing his best to get detected and thereby being rescued. A soldier on the other hand, operating deep behind enemy lines, a shut-down pilot, or an escapee, must do his best to NOT be detected by enemy's patrols or inhabitants whom are actively looking for him, which of course requires entirely different skills and tactics, such as use of smokeless fire, getting rid of his waste etc.
Additionally, all special forces troops must reach black belt in "Combat Judo", (- Not to be confused with the "sport" Judo, being taught in dojos around the world!) the science of hand-to-hand combat, involving physics, psychology, human physiology and bio-mechanics. This style, originally based on the japanese traditional Judo and Aikijiujitsu which once were used by Samurai on the battlefields, has specially developed by Iranian "Army Physical Center" with its fast and dynamic tactical and practical hand-to-hand combat applications for the Spec Ops troops operating behind enemy lines and has classified moves.
The training is always carried out in as realistic manner as possible ("Simulated Reality Training") , and it's rare for soldiers to return to barracks without having picked up a few cuts and bruises.
Special Forces "Judo" sleeve patch
The minimum requirments for an iranian Spec Ops soldier is to be able to hit a stationary target at 200 m with an assault rifle (iron sight!), and up to 40 m with a submuchine gun, and at 25-30 m with a pistol.
With a sniper rifle he should be able to pinpoint the chest of a target figure at 650 m, and he should be able to hit a target figure moving at 3 m/s at 500 m. He also should be able to use an anti-tank grenade launcher accurately at up to 400 m and an anti-tank guided missile at 500-1000 m, and throwing a hand grenade accurately from 25-50 m when standing still or when running.
Spec Ops troops literally risk death during realistic training exercises. Deadly chemichals, explosives barrages and live ammunition are routinely used. Death happens sometimes! Not a big deal!
Iranian commanders believe that men, not machines, win battles; so the foundation for combat training is the fighting men enhanced by technology, not subject to it .
Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) was a high watermark for the Iranian Special Forces. They conducted extensive operations in enemy-held and cross-border areas .
Although their numbers were relatively small comparing to the regulare forces, Special Forces played a major role in that war, and their courage were unsurpassed .
All Iranian Army Special Forces & Marines are fully equivalent to their counterparts in the US and British special forces .
Structure :
All special forces in the Army, Navy and Revolutionary Guard Corp are under direct command of "Joint Special Operations Command Center" and "Joint chief of staff" .
Additionally, each division in the armed forces (Army, Navy, Air Force and Revolutionary Guard) must be self-sustaining, stand-alone entity, according to the Defense Department's guide line .
Selection :
The Iranian Special Forces clubs (in the Army, Marines and Revolutionary Guard) are exclusive institutions and entrance qualifications are among the thoughest on earth. The act of joining the Special Forces is purely voluntary. Stringent criterias have to be met before a recruit is even allowed to begin the selection phase. As the result, the units have great potential for use in a wide range of activities .
Just completing selection, even if one is not ultimately assigned to the Spec Ops, is a major accomplishment .
It is originally based on the selection systems used by the British "SAS." and South African "Special Forces Brigade" ("Recce") with some modifications. (-1970's- a legacy from pre-revolutionary era)
"Selection" evaluates individual performance, self-discipline, determination, intelligent, good judgment, analystics skills, organization and team management skills, maturity, stamina, and above all, an individual's ability to function effectively under physical, psychological and mental stress factors in the chaos and confussion of battlefield.
The formal selection course consists of a physical fitness qualification test, such as covering distances of 40 km a day with full load of 60 kg and swimming 100 m with full load, and at some stages, with the hunter team at their tail, land navigation exercise, among others. All exercises are on the clock.
Finally, the recruts must go through a physchological evaluation and interview by exprienced officers, before being qualified for basic Special Forces training which takes 2 years to complete. However training is always an "on-going" process.
- Notice : All names of the units are translated directly into (or equivalent to) english for practical purposes.
- Units mentioned on this web site are known Special Forces units. However there are other specialized units which conduct covert operations of various natures, known to very few high-ranking individuals. Those units, may not and should not be mentioned here, for obvious reasons.
Airborne :
Master Para Wings
23 rd Airborne Divison :
This is the oldest Special forces unit in the modern Iranian army , and were originally trained by (and with) US Army Green Berets (1948-78) and israelies paratroopers in the 70's .
The unit has seen action in Oman (1970- 76) as the part of Shah's military aid to the Oman's dictator against communist rebels/-insurgents, and they along with other special forces have been most effective troops during Iran- Iraq war, specially for their ability to conduct low-level penetration into hostile territory [ HAHO (High Altitude High Opening), HALO (High Altitude Low Opening), LALO (Low Altitude Low Opening), "Base Jump" ] .
They are trained in any aspect of conducting special operations in land & at sea, and also counter terrorism/ -insurgency duties within the Iranian borders .
Other Airborne units : 25th Airborne Div 55th Airborne Brg 35th Airborne Div
21st & 22nd Ranger/Airborne Division :
Though and resolute beyond the norm, these troops , along with other special forces, are ready and able to fight any where at any time, in any conditions .They are specialised in strategic and tactical long range reconnaissance, and ambush patrols, among other missions .
All Army Rangers are airborne qualified .
"Tactical Assault Team" is another elite unit within the Rangers with counter terrorist/ -insurgent responsibility inside the Iranian borders .
Mountain Warfare Specialist
Marine Commandos (Naval Rangers) :
A brief history :
Modern Iranian Marine Commandos was originally trained by (and with) British "Royal Marine Commandos" during 1940's - 78 .
Since then, and as a result of lessons learned during Iran-Iraq war (1980-88), they have improved their techniques/ tacticts and equipments .
Iranian Marines is part of the Iranian Navy. This crack expeditionary naval strike force are experts in littoral combat/ amphibious raids and other tactical waterborne operations, reconnaissance, surveillance, and maritime interdiction operations, including protection of Iranian oil platforms in the Persian Gulf, and even coastal patrols (togheter with the Iranian Coast Guard).
More over , they are also trained to operate in wooded areas, deserts and mountains .
There are 2 Marine divisions : 8 th Marines responsible for northern part of Iran at the Caspian Sea, and 5th Marines operating at the Persian Gulf in the south .
They regularly conduct realistic training exercises with other Iranian Special Forces in land & at sea .
"Air Sea Assault Commandos" is another elite unit in the Marines, Elite of the Elite. They are fully capable of conducting underwater/airborne, underwater demolitions, navigation, and swimming with opened and closed breathing apparatus, and counter terrorist operations at sea (such as ship-seizure missions, or hostage rescue along hostile shorelines ).
The unit is fully equivalent to the British "Special Boat Service" (SBS) and US "SEAL"-team .
Special forces in the Revolutionary Guard :
A Brief history :
The Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (often called Revolutionary Guards for short, IRGC ) was founded in 1978, just after the revolution against Shah, as a parallel force to the other armed forces .
It was, and still is, a loyal force to the fundamentalists in Iran. I guess as comparison I can say that the difference beteween regular armed forces and Revolutionary Guard is like regular German forces and SS during WW2.
(- I know it's not a good comparison, but that's the closest I could come up with ;-)
Rumors say that they have been sent to southern Lebanon as military advisers to train Hizboulla guerrillas and participate in their attacks against Israel back in the 80's. They had also seen action in Afghanistan with Mujahedeen (Northern Alliance) during Soviet occupation, in Bosnian war of 1992-95 at the muslim's side, on the Al-Bashir's side in the Syrian revolution (2011 - present), and in Iraq against I.S.I.S. (DAESH) (2014 - present).
If these rumors are true or not, I can neither deny nor confirm. However they have been officially denied. (- My site is supposed to contain DECLASSIFIED information. Remember! ;-)
Today's Revolutionary Guard is a total of c. 650.000 strong men, with its own Army, Navy and Air Force .(2010)
They are also responsible for training, arming and commanding of 8 mobilized volunteer divisions (- equivalant to the US National Guard / UK Territorial Army) .
Army :
Including 9 infantry divisons and 2 brigades, 5 artillery /armour divisons and 3 Airborne/Ranger divisons.
Each division has its own personnal & administration, signal, engineer, artillery, intelligence & security,anti tank/-airplane, liaison (political-ideological directorate, including Psychological warfare unit), chemical/biological, logistic& support and medical units .
Special Forces units are also responsible for airports and iranian passanger airplanes security (undercover armed response on board) and other important installations, as well as body guard duties .
They also have their very own Crack Units, The "Zarbat Team" ("strike"/ "raid" in arabic/persian), which together with another elite unit of IRGC, The "Saberin Battalion", is responsible for counter terrorist/-revolutionary operations both inside and outside the Iranian borders.They have carried out raids against CIA- financed & Saadam-backed Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) terrorist bases inside Iraq (until february 2003), also assassination of some high-profile iranian dissidents, oppose to the government, outside Iran .
Very little is known about these two units. They are equivalent to the British SAS. and US Delta Force.
I've seen on some pages on the internet about the Qods units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, in some pages even with map of the world and other stuff taken right out of fantasy!!! The word "Quods" is arabic name for Jerusalem. The name is purley religious, like many other things in Iran, since 1980. There are no such "special units" with this name, although there are some regular units with this name. I've personally seen boards with the name "Quads" over the top of some military installations and garisons around the Iran, probably for blessing or solidarity purposes, I guess. As I mentioned above, the foreign operations are carried out by the "Zarbat Team"-units, nothing else.
Navy :
It has 2 Marine divisions, each with their own Combat Frogman regiments .
Special thanks to :
Some of my former fellow officers and colleagues who are currently in active duty and wish to remain unnamed

Gift Guide: The Handyman
Each holiday season I inevitably find myself searching for gifts that the men in my family will actually enjoy. For some reason, furry suede slippers never do well. And, you can only give a man a tie and a set of cuff links so many times before he starts to think you want him to spend more time at work. But anyone with a Y chromosome wants to think he's useful at home as well as the office. So, whether you need to encourage the men in your life to do a little more work around the house, or you want to reward them for all the picture-hanging and deck-building they can't seem to get enough of, a handyman-style gift is just the thing to put a smile on your dudes' faces this year. I've collected some items I know they'll love, and perhaps laugh about (overalls). But I also recommend checking out your local hardware shop and some old standbys like Duluth Trading and L.L. Bean. If you're working with a beginner handyman, the ideal gift is a sturdy toolbox or bag filled with all of the essential household tools. Also, listen closely, there may be some sort of power tool your very own handyman is already aching for. To see my suggestions,

did you scream and yell in labor?
I just watched a video and I'm curious. I never did with either of my kids, I was super calm, God only knows how or why...
I also heard a woman screaming the night I gave birth to my first daughter.
I didn't yell per say but I kept saying I can't do this lol. I said I want to go home!
I screamed with my first lol. I was embarrassed!
No, I never did with any of my 5 kids.
Oh yes I did... I wanted to be "put down" towards the end. And it was short too, only just under 5 hours, but it was back labor from the start and I was delusional by the end of it hehe.
Lol...no. I either go quiet or crack jokes when I'm in extreme pain.
With my second, I scream at the nurses, because nurses didn't belive me she was comming out.
Quoting OneToughMami:
I was quiet. I heard a woman yelling down the hall and made the comment to the nurse "You know she's just being dramatic"

Girl Guy
"I Love You Brother"
I saw these words when I opened my text message mail
I had Just finished reading a passage in the bible, not a fairy tail
Love your neighbor as your self is what we have been commanded
Then I opened your mail and " wham" feelings of rejection where abandoned
Simple words with great meaning compel me to send you this message as well
"I love you too sister!" Thanks for sharing the greatest words that you could ever tell
Would You Care To Share
Would you care to share, during a walk in the park
I'll try to make it, a little after dark
There is a storm in the atmosphere, so just make your plans
If it works out, I'll be there as soon as I can
Why is Ted calling me, should I answer the phone
I know his heart is broken too, he is probably feeling alone
Cindy is heart broken tonight and shouldn't be abandoned
Well, lets just all go to the park, cause Jordan is stranded
"No"!, is a complete sentence, the circle is not clear
This is something we will laugh about for many years
I prayed just two days ago, because I was feeling lonely
Four friends came my way, when I had made plans with one only
Greatest Love:
Singleness Of Heart
Singleness of heart is what I have in mind
I want Jesus to be my all, all of the time
Undivided purpose, with desires for none other
Keeping all relations, safe as sisters and brothers
Having eyes for you, Jesus, only
Staying close to you keeps me from being lonely
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, love him with all your heart soul and mind
Romantic Rhyme
I Saw Something Special In Her Eyes
I saw something special in her eyes,
Today was different than the others
It really caught me by surprise.
When our eyes met like many times before
This time there was something different
I can't explain it, but it was special for sure
I had an attraction like never before
It was totally unexpected
As soon as she came in the door.
With this moment came a prayful urge
I quickly said, "Lord is this the one"
If so, speak to me with your words
He didn't reply
Sad Story:
just got the news that ,Gary a long time and once very close friend , hung himself last night. I am very sad...
Gary Will be Missed
Gary will be missed but there are others to follow
We touch one today and many more tomorrow
Never giving up because one just couldn't get it
Passing Gods fire that burns to all who will let it
Never looking back with regret about yesterdays
Because we do our best in every situation everyday
Gary I'm going to miss you I hope to see you again
Good bye buddy you were an amazing friend.
I am tired but wide awake and I don't know what to do
So I decided to write a special poem for you
"A special poem for you :)"

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Welcome to Justanswer
Hello so are you receiving a code?
yes I have recieved a code stateing "small evap leak"
I replaced the fuel cap with a factory original
reset the light and it still comes back
I even replaced the EGR with a new one
What is the code # XXXXX you still have it
yes let me pull it again
sweet makes it easier to look it up for me
This has been bothering me for 3 weeks
One moment
I show this as a medium leak detected
my scanner reads small evap leak
Not sure why its saying that. Anyways if the gas cap has been replaced then there has to be a leak in the EVAP
So do you have a smoke machine?
no i do not
I tried taking it to the dealer and they told me to change some parts
I changed those parts and the leak is still showing
Well one thing you can do without it is inspect the lines connections and try to find a crack bad connection ect
which lines should i inspect?
Yeah thats the first thing to do
You will inspect the hard plastic evap lines I will get a picture if I can of the location
are those the only lines that cause evap leaks?
But I would call around to the shops and find one that will do the smoke test for you
Do the dodge dealerships provide a smoke test?
Those lines and if the purge solenoid is acting up
they will charge more to do the same task
ok i would greatly appreciate the pictures
should i go to dodge and ask specifically for a smoke test?
they know what it is
Every decent shop has one
I wonder why they did not do it in the first place or even offer it?
Alot of times its a the gas cap
what exactly does the smoke test do?
They run smoke through the evap system if there is a leak it will show
ok sounds very simple
Sometimes the hard lines will get a small crack
Yes it is they will put it up on the lift and find the leak pretty quickly
so none of the evap leaking is because of any soft lines correct?
So they should have dont this in the first place but most of the time its the gas cap so thats understandable
yea but they charged me for an inspection and reccomeded changing parts before they even did a smoke test
should i complain and tell them to not charge me this time and that they should have done a smoke test initially?
they have not even offered to do a smoke test?
I would. Tell them you want a discount on the diag since it was wrong
ok is there any other recommendations you would advise me to do?
I want to give you a picture of some of the evap components
But it should be pretty simple if they do a smoke test and fix the leak
Let me know if there is anything else I can do. If this has been helpful please take a moment to press ACCEPT. Thanks in advance have a great day. Danny
you have been very helpful
in the picture you sent me which numbers should i check
for leaks
I would just go through the system and look for any cracks or breaks in the connections
ok in the diagram which ones are the hard lines?
All of the small lines
ok perfect thank you
No problem. Please take a moment to press ACCEPT. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks Danny
also how can i reach you to update you with any further details?
http://www.justanswer.com/car/expert-automotivedoctor/ There is my direct link or you can go to my questions and go to this questions and reply
Have a great day and thanks in advance for the ACCEPT its greatly appreciated. Danny

from wethegreenpeople:
Here we go, finally got around to releasing v2 of SoundEffects, v2 has a few changes that really makes the overall HomeBrew better.
For those of you that didn't see v1, sound effects is a pretty awesome thingy if I do say so my self. That allows you to play different sound effects by pushing different buttons.
All the sounds that are in this program have been thoroughly tested by me, so that each sound can be used at least 3 times every day, and can be used for at least 3 funny situations. Testing the sounds was the funnest part. xP
So I hope you enjoy this homebrew, if you guys have any suggestions for sounds, category's, anything please feel free to post them here.
Also, I was going to add graphics to this version, but I thought it better to "finish" it first then do graphics. So next version I will add graphics.
* Added 16 more sounds
* A menu
* Category's.
Didn't really find any. If you guys do please tell me.

The Department of Biology at FMU strongly encourages student participation in research activities. We offer many opportunities for undergraduates to assist in faculty research or develop their own independent research projects. Students can earn academic credit through Special Studies and Honors Independent Study.
Why participate in this program? Research experience benefits YOU by enhancing your college experience, adding to your resume, introducing you to cutting edge scientific techniques, and teaching you how scientists apply classroom concepts in real world investigations. It gives you the opportunity to work closely with your favorite professors, who are experts in their field of research! Perhaps most importantly, it helps you decide whether Biology is a good career choice for you.
The faculty in Biology are engaged in diverse research projects, such as:
Each Spring semester we host a P.U.R.E. symposium on campus, where motivated student researchers can present their results. Participation in this symposium is optional. Fellow students and faculty attend the symposium. It provides a great opportunity to give a scientific presentation, become more comfortable with public speaking, and proudly put forth the results of your research!
If you are interested in research opportunities, please contact Dr. Barbeau or Dr. Pryor, the coordinators of P.U.R.E. We can answer any questions you might have and get you started on a research project!

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 10.1429 Monday 16 August 1999.
Date: Sunday, 15 Aug 1999 17:58:51 +0200
Subject: 10.1416 Re: Hoghton Tower Controversy
Comment: Re: SHK 10.1416 Re: Hoghton Tower Controversy
The Hoghton connection might perhaps bear a clue to the identity of Mr.
W.H. of the Sonnets. In "Shakespeare: the 'lost years'" (2nd ed., 1998,
p. 53; cf. pp. 12 and 146) Honigmann mentions a William Hoghton, second
son of Thomas Hoghton II. Thomas II died in 1589. One of the three
'Hoghton' epigrams by John Weever ("Epigrammes in the oldest cut, and
newest fashion", 1599) was dedicated to William Hoghton of Grimsargh:
"In Gulielmum Houghton". Epigram 22 by Weever was dedicated "Ad
Gulielmum Shakespeare" in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet. Can we
thus add William Hoghton's name to the list of candidates for Mr. W.H.
in the dedication of the Sonnets (or was this done before)? Honigmann
does not make this connection.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
I would like to help you with your question.
I am sorry that your ex-husband has not stopped trying to control your life.
It is very good that both of you are attempting to raise your son with the same sets of values and that you are committed to being friendly towards each. As you know, this will provide a sense of safety and security for your son.
But...if you ex-husband berates you, tries to control you, and is bad tempered does he not understand that these behaviors are very poor modeling for your son! He is fighting you about where you son sleeps at night...yet he creates conflict in your relationship!
Your son is 4 years old...if he wants to sleep with you that is not a harmful thing at this age. In many countries, co-sleeping is a very standard practice. But that is not the issue here...the real issue is your ex-husbands attempt to control your life and, to control, what happens in your home.
I agree that there are joint decisions the two of you need to make about raising your son...things like schooling, discipline, medical treatment and so forth. The issue of where he sleeps at night does not seem to rise to the level of such joint decision making....not at age 4.. Rather, this is a case where a healthy discussion would be far better and where you agree to disagree if you can not come to a mutual decision.
There must be some boundaries between your ex-husband and you that allow each of you to make some decisions on your own. Every issue cannot be battled over...as the one who will get hurt here is your son!
You need the ability to feel free to parent your son in your own home without worrying that your ex-husband will disapprove. You divorced him for a reason and having him like a ghost in your home is unreasonable.
If you need help setting some boundaries over how your son will be raised, I urge you to see a therapist so that you can sort this out and gain the strength you need to stay in control of your life.
I see you are offline. When you come online I will be notified and then we can chat.
above is an article you might find helpful to read...
Thank you Dr.L. Your advice is really what I needed to hear and relects what I have been thinking and what others close to me are saying. It is always good to get advice from someone who is not emotionally involved with the family. I will be strong and stand up to my ex-husband and suggest we talk sensibly about it. I will also check out the link on baby center. Many thanks again. Regards,
You are very welcome!
Take care!

UNICEF and AFFA team up to promote girls participation in Azerbaijan
BAKU, April 20, 2011 - UNICEF and the Azerbaijan Federation of Football Associations (AFFA), the governing soccer body in the country, officially kick off their partnership campaign today by signing a joint Memorandum of Understanding. The joint work will harness the power of football in order to increase participation of excluded and disadvantaged girls and boys in sport, to promote awareness of healthy life styles, and impart life skills to children and young people, as well as to promote girls' participation in sport nationwide.
"We believe in the power of football. Sport is a particularly good way of reaching out to girls as well as boys, and can provide them with opportunities to connect with others socially, something that many girls are not able to do because of the restrictions they face as females," said Mark Hereward, UNICEF Representative in Azerbaijan. "When girls are given the chance to take part in sport, they can challenge the stereotypes that label them as less able than boys. Sport, like education, can help girls become equal players in society."
"AFFA is pleased to cooperate with UNICEF through a number of different activities and events that will both raise the visibility and popularity of football and contribute to awareness of healthy life-styles among youth. Definitely, it will also contribute to attracting girls to play football," said Elkhan Mamedov, the General Secretary of AFFA. "This partnership is important to AFFA, as it is not only about football, but sport and development in general."

In its first 20 numerals it is quinary (see p. 141), and as a system must be regarded as quinary-vigesimal.
Any number system which passes the limit 10 is reasonably sure to have either a quinary, a decimal, or a vigesimal structure.
The foregoing examples will show with considerable fulness the wide dispersion of the quinary scale.
This leads the quinary into the vigesimal scale, and produces the combination so often found in certain parts of the world.
In its structure the quinary is the simplest, the most primitive, of the natural systems.
The quinary element does not disappear, but merely sinks into a relatively unimportant position.
Associated words: quinary, quintuple, quintuplicate, quincunx.
Above 20 the systems become vigesimal, with a quinary or decimal structure appearing in all numerals except multiples of 20.
It is quite within the bounds of possibility that the prehistoric nations of Europe possessed and used a quinary numeration.
But even then the universality of quinary counting for primitive peoples is by no means established.
c.1600, from Latin quinarius "consisting of five, containing five," from quint "five each" (see five).
