SANDY and its neighboring areas
By Mariana Braz Reporter
When John and Fwan Deblasi, Milltown residents, heard that Hurricane Sandy was coming towards NJ, they thought they were going to experience Hurricane Irene all over again. "Last year the flooding was the biggest issue. We also lost power for a week," said Mrs. Deblasi. Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast on Oct. 28 causing around $50 billion in damages. More than 150 people were killed during the storm and almost 9 million people lost power. Last year, Hurricane Irene, a category 1 storm, killed 56 people, caused flooding and left millions without power. The Deblasi's were among the millions of people who lost power for days because of Sandy. "We used generator for the refrigerator, and we lived pretty much in the kitchen for a
few days", said John Deblasi. Mr. Deblasi also said that he was very worried because a tree fell on their lawn and hit the power line. "We stayed awake all night worried the large trees we have in the backyard could fall on the house." Sandy, Irene, Bill, Earl… In the past few years, the East Coast has seen an increase in extreme weather events, especially during the second half of the year, which is known as hurricane season. The question is what causes this to occur? MCCC Professor of Biology, Renee Nerish, explained that the environment is changing. "We have hotter summers and the winter starts earlier than a few years ago." Nerish also believes that humans' action contributed to the climate change. "We have absolutely a lot to do with what's happening, especially the gas emission by cars." Hurricanes and tropical storms are not only caused by global warming. In an article published in Washington Post,
James E. Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, explained: "Our analysis shows that it is no longer enough to say that global warming will increase the likelihood of extreme weather. To the contrary, our analysis shows that, for the extreme hot weather of the recent past, there is virtually no explanation other than climate change." The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) states that the period from 2000 to 2010 was the "warmest period on record." They also said the planet's average temperature is now 1.4F higher in comparison to the last century. They attribute some of the responsibility for the climate change to human action. Some of the causes are the industrialization, pollution and the excessive dispose of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Professor Denise Ingram, head of the Sociology Department, and professed "weather geek," discussed the effects of the storm with the VOICE. Prof. In-
gram said that meteorologists are in agreement that climate change is happening, and she said that "there's definite, crazy shit that's going to be happening with the weather." Prof. Ingram said, "As with anything that is going to be costing money and lives, the people at the bottom are going to be getting hit the hardest." Hurricane Bill, a category 3 storm lost strength by the time it passed New Jersey in 2009. As a category 1 storm, it caused 10-foot waves along the Jersey Shore. Despite the 85mph wind gusts, the damage caused by this storm in New Jersey was minimal compared to later storms. August 2010 was time for Hurricane Earl to leave its mark. Classified as category 4, it killed 2 civilians in New Jersey and 6 in total in the country. North Carolina and the Virgin Islands were the most affected states in the US accumulating over $15 million in damages. Hurricane Irene came in 2011. It was a tropical storm by
the time it made landfall but the 90 mph wind gusts caused $16.6 billion in damages. Mrs Deblasi can't forget all the trouble her family went through last year, and after Hurricane Sandy, they felt that losing power for a few days was nothing compared to all the flooding caused by Irene. "The storm from last year was much worse than Sandy for us, because this time we only lost power and a couple trees fell. Irene caused a lot of flooding on top of everything else." Only a week after Sandy, a Nor'easter hit the East Coast leaving from 3 to 8 inches of snow. According to The Weather Channel, the Nor'easter is a big storm with hurricane characteristics. This storm didn't cause any flooding but some of the efforts to clean up after the Hurricane were interrupted for a while. If this is the new trend for the East Coast, nobody is sure yet, but scientists are positive about the climate change and its influence on the storms.
VOICE Gas lines long, tempers short the college
11 - 12 - 12
By Dan Asnis Senior Reporter
Several long lines of cars stretched down the intersection of Route 27 and Allston Rd in the Kendall Park section of South Brunswick Township on Wednesday Oct. 31, all destined for the BP gas station at the corner. Another line of people with gas cans stood on the BP's premises waiting to get gas for their emergency generators. This same scene was repeated over and over again at other gas stations that still had electricity across the area. Jason Green from South River, who was waiting with his plastic gas can said he was helping his brother. Along the way, Green observed that very few places in his area even had gas. "You can't get no gas in South River only on [Route] 18." said Green. The gas was gone only a few hours later, according to the Kendall Park BP's gas manager and mechanic Hesham El-
sisi. "I closed Wednesday night at around nine o'clock. I sold that day twenty five thousand gallons", said Elsisi. He explained that in a normal day he sells about five thousand gallons. Hurricane Sandy left a lot of places with no power, including key gas refineries and terminals throughout NJ. "The New Jersey terminal of gas had no power so they could not bring gas from New Jersey. I was getting my gas from Pennsylvania," said Elsisi. Because of the long lines, and consequently long wait, Elsisi said the customers got impatient and some of them caused some problems. "People cut in lines, and once somebody cut in line everybody freak out on him, and they fight with the employee who has nothing to do with it." According to the manager, last week they had to deal with this situation a number of times. "You cannot measure how many fights I had last week. I had like fifty fights", said Elsisi. "To me I feel like it's the end of the world: people fighting over the gas," he said.
Local residents wait in line at South Brunswick BP after the storm In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, oil suddenly became a commodity and gas stations had long lines not seen since the oil embargo of the early 1970's. With all the lines and
some gas stations running out of gas, New Jersey temporarily implemented odd-even licence plate gas restrictions in 12 counties including Middlesex, Monmouth, Hunterdon and Somerset. Mercer
and Burlington counties are not affected by these restrictions. Governor Chris Christie stated that as of 6 a.m. on Tuesday, November 13, the gas rationing will be over.
A case of the diesels: gas station causes damage during Sandy By Jamie Strickland Senior Reporter
During Hurricane Sandy, the high demand on gasoline for cars and generators caused gas stations to overflow with customers, which ultimately prompted Governor Chris Christie to order gas rationing for many NJ counties. Unfortunately for some New Jerseyans, the rush for fuel caused a mix-up at the pumps and they received diesel rather than unleaded fuel in their gas tanks. According to a South Brunswick police report, the Hess gas station on Route 1 North and Finnegan's Lane in North Brunswick accidentally administered
diesel fuel into their customer's cars and gas cans on Saturday, November 3. This can cause damage to both their vehicles and generators. The police report noted that Hess pumps were mistakenly filled will diesel and that anyone experiencing a problem should contact Hess's corporate office. Yaas Lundy of South Brunswick experienced problems with her 2008 Nissan Altima shortly after filling up at the same Hess gas station Saturday morning. According to Lundy, she got gas from there the Thursday prior and had no problem. "My boyfriend mentioned he didn't notice the normal gaso-
line smell while we were filling up Saturday," said Lundy. After driving about 10 minutes away to her destination, she didn't notice anything wrong with the car. It wasn't until she tried starting it again when she noticed a difference. "The engine cranked and had a low start and then just shut off," said Lundy. She was able to successfully start her car after a few tries but experienced the same problems throughout the weekend along with an abnormal smell coming from her muffler. According to Lundy, she drove her car to the store the following Monday and as she started
it up to leave, the steering wheel locked and smoke began to rise from under the car's hood. Lundy then had the car towed to her house. In an interview with the VOICE, mechanic and owner of Luca's Auto Service in New Brunswick, Carlos Iberos, said he had five customers bring in their cars between Saturday and Monday all experiencing similar problems and all who previously got gas from the same Hess. Iberos has 30 years of experience with cars and said it didn't take him long to diagnose the problem."You can tell its diesel because the cars are shaking and the muffler smelled like diesel not
fuel," said Iberos. He also explained that the cars are an easy fix and will take about two hours each to work on. The price range per car to fix will be anywhere from $585 to $885, depending on the car. After contacting Hess's corporate office, Iberos was given a case number. "Hess is paying for all of the damage and were very cooperative," said Iberos. An updated report from South Brunswick police stated that the Hess station was immediately shut down after the first few customer complaints, 35 in all. The tanks were then emptied and cleaned.
Library offers escape from hurricane Princeton's community bonds despite widespread power outages By Trisha Welsn Reporter
After discovering that the Princeton Public Library still had power on Tuesday, Oct. 30, the day after Hurricane Sandy moved through New Jersey, the Communications Director Tim Quinn, the Associate Director Peter Bromberg, and the Executive Director Leslie Burger opened the library in an effort to help out the community. Almost immediately they assembled Team Worst Case Scenario, a group of local librarians and their family members and
friends who came in and helped open up the library. For the next three days, the Princeton Public Library became a haven for locals suffering from the power outage and lack of Internet. According to Quinn, up to 19,000 locals came with their laptops, cell phones, extension cords and children and huddled into the library until as late as 9PM at night. Though there were no issues with power shortages due to the heavy use, the library suffered problems with the wi-fi. Shela Tibaut, a recent Rutgers New Brunswick graduate and Princeton local attended the
library for three days. She said, "It was overwhelming. It was hard to get onto the computers and the Wi-Fi. And they had 1,000 people there at the time. I am grateful though. It was a useful thing for people to be able to communicate with their loved ones." Quinn said of the experience, "For us, this was a time to serve. We were really providing the same kind of service we do every day, a customer focused self service." In addition to giving locals shelter, power and support in the aftermath of Sandy, the Princeton Library offered its regular

On the pages of this edition of the VOICE, you will find stories of how people in our community dealt with the hardships brought forth by Hurricane Sandy, but for many areas of our state the battle is far from over. As reported in Mariana Braz's "Is This the New Normal," Hurricane Sandy caused about 150 deaths, 9 million people with power outages, and 50 billion dollars in damages. Some of our neighbors have felt the effects of Hurricane Sandy in ways we can barely imagine. There has been reported flooding of 7 feet in homes in the barrier-island towns. Residents were evacuated until Nov. 9 in many of these towns, some of which are still completely abandoned. Many of the sites that
once held the childhood memories of New Jerseyans are now underwater. Some are in the ocean--recently lost Atlantises. But sentimentality won't get us very far. More than memories, these towns are the homes to many residents, human beings, neighbors. It's important to give--give a dollar, lend a hand--so that our neighbors can get back to their lives and their homes. Mercer County was mostly affected through power losses, which were widely dealt with in communal ways, like at the Princeton Public Library (see page 2). The hurricane caused MCCC to shut down operations from Monday, October 29, through Thursday, November 2. According to an email sent from MercerMail Admin-
Vehicle incurs damages during storm
istrator to all Mercer students, this semester's schedule will be extended until Friday, December 14, and final exams will be held from December 17-20. "It's tough for students because they lost that week," said Anderson Monken, SGA president. Monken explained that work has stacked up for a lot of students since the storm. According to Monken, the SGA will be holding fundraisers in the weeks following the storm, and giving funds to the Red Cross fund. Students at MCCC have had their families directly affected by Sandy. Stephen Middleton, a Mercer who ran for SGA president last semester, has family in New York City. "My mom is still without power and heat," he told The VOICE on Monday, Novem-
ber 5th, a week after Sandy passed through. Monken's family was without power for three days, and had a tree fall on their porch. "It felt like the whole world was turned upsidedown," he told The VOICE. In some areas of New Jersey and New York the world still is upside down, and as people who fought through the storm it is our responsibility to continue to support those still in need even though things in our county are slowly starting to return to normal. On the back page of this edition of the VOICE, you will not find the usual cartoons and horoscopes. Instead, we have listed some organizations that are working to get these communities back up and running.

Mercer County hit by
Charity shields homeless during Sandy By Laymon Flack Reporter
To make food bags in the dark for complete strangers staying in motels is one of the projects that people working at Home Front did during Hurricane Sandy. Many of Mercer County's homeless and low income families were helped by the organization during the recent storm. According to HomeFront's website, their mission is "to end homelessness in Central New Jersey by harnessing the caring, resources and expertise of the community." During Hurricane Sandy, the roof of the Rescue Mission on Carroll Street in Trenton sustained heavy damage, leaving a number of families with no place to go. HomeFront's Family Preservation Center (FPC) welcomed in twelve women and their children so that they could have shelter. The Carroll Street Rescue Mission is not affiliated with HomeFront, but they were aided in their time of need.
Assistant Director for HomeFront's Family Preservation Center, Marc Allen, explained that the staff was trained for emergency situations such as Hurricane Sandy. They were equipped with generators that kept the common hallways lit, televisions working, hot water running and refrigerators cold. During the storm, families gathered in the common area and watched television with programs that were child-oriented. The FPC offers housing for homeless families from 30 to 90 days. In case of emergencies such as Hurricane Sandy, FPC can house up to 40 people, with enough supplies to sustain all of them plus the staff, for three days. It was not only the FPC component of HomeFront that pitched in extra effort in the wake of Sandy. Their Lawrenceville location played a major part in aiding the surrounding area. Connie Mercer, HomeFront CEO, stated that there has been a forty percent increase in traffic coming to
HomeFront since the hurricane and that they are "anticipating a bigger increase." Currently, there are fourteen students from Notre Dame High School who are volunteering their time at the Lawrenceville HomeFront shelving books and accepting and processing the flood of recent donations. A common theme at both locations was the idea of "keeping it local." Hurricane Sandy decimated HomeFront's Thanksgiving efforts because it hit the area the same week that the local community was supposed to bring in food for twelve hundred families. Other organizations exist which aid low-income and homeless families, but HomeFront is from the Mercer County area and helps locally. In preparation for future storms, HomeFront FPC is seeking to be able to take care of at least forty people for a minimum of ten days. HomeFront provided a much needed service for the community during Hurricane Sandy; according to Marc Allen they "put the emergency in shelter."
Witherspoon St. in Princeton was shut down after trees and power lines fell down. This was a common sight throughout many streets in Mercer County.
Hurricane forces local business to improvise By Emily Lukasewycz & James Reslier-Wells Senior Reporters
Business owners worked around the hardships in order to accommodate the needs of locals during Hurricane Sandy. Some business owners temporarily moved into their workplace, and some saw in this tragedy an opportunity to keep business running while helping the customers without power. Nancy Simmons' home is in Ocean County, but she has been living in her Lawrenceville pet grooming salon, The Curry Corner, since the night Hurricane Sandy hit Mercer County. "This building is 200 years old," Simmons told The VOICE, "It shook and it rattled, but not one ounce of damage." Of particular concern to her was a 250 year-old tree at the rear of her shop. Simmons recalled the efforts she took to ensure that the tree would not damage her business. "I said, 'Tree, if you're gonna go down, you're going down that way,'" said Simmons, motioning away from her building. "And if you look out there
Nancy Simmons, owner of the Curry Corner, gives shelter to local pets
now, that's the way it went down." The Curry Corner has been open since the night of the storm despite not getting much business. Simmons was returning home from a dog show in Kansas just before the storm, with three Great Danes in tow. Simmons, an Ocean County native, cannot return to her home for another few weeks, and has been living in the tiny shop with her three dogs since the hurricane hit. She and her three dogs have been living in the tiny shop since the night the hurricane hit. "I'm hanging on," said
Simmons. "The dogs are adjusting, but they need more exercise," she continued, motioning to the dogs. In addition to her three large dogs, Simmons has been offering shelter to dogs of clients and friends as they get their own affairs in order, as local shelters and kennels are either full or not accepting any more animals. According to Simmons, the Lawrenceville stretch of Route 206 where her shop is located had lost power for at least three to four days, and a downed tree pulled down telephone poles for a quar-
ter of a mile along the road. One of the many trees in Mercer County that did have a substantial effect on business went down on Route 33 in Hamilton, and took down a power line with it. "We're right by Cedar Gardens where the power line went down," said Kathy Rana, owner of Jersey Girl Cafe, located on Route 33. According to Rana, the cafe lost power for three days and they had to throw away all of their food. However, there was no structural damage, and the insurance will cover the cost of the discarded food. "I thought we'd be back in action on Wednesday morning," said Rana, who reopened her business on Thursday. Coolvines, a wine shop in Princeton, turned their potential misfortune into opportunity. Spring Street, where the boutique wine shop is located, was powerless for three days. Despite this, Coolvines stayed open and helped customers find their way through the use of candles and flashlights. One employee, Brian, who began working at Coolvines after Sandy hit, mentioned that it was not just good business, he
felt it was almost a community service. "With no power, what are people doing to do? I mean, they're gonna drink. I know that's what I did," he said. Using a manual imprinter to record credit transactions and their customer service, Coolvines was able to keep business going as usual. "We always try to make people happy," said Zach Smith, another employee of Coolvines. "We were one of the only businesses offering credit card transactions with the old system." Meanwhile, Simmons hasn't done any business since the storm hit, but she is understanding about it, mentioning how the Lawrenceville community has come together since the storm left the town powerless. "[People are] not worried about having their dogs groomed," she said. Even after all of the damage to her home and the lack of business she'd been getting Simmons still insisted that it could have been worse. "I'm lucky," said Simmons. "I've got a warm place and a coffee pot. Compared to other people, I'm blessed."

School warms hurricane victims By Stephen Harrison Senior Reporter
A reception center was opened in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy at John Witherspoon Middle School in Princeton, New Jersey by the Princeton Re Department. The reception center was created in the gymnasium of the school and provided warmth, food and drink, television, showers, electricity to charge electronics and a place to sleep for people affected by the hurricane as well as for out-of-state utility workers. "We've had people who would randomly come by and bring brownies or cookies that they had baked because they heard this was going on" says Evan Moorhead, assistant director of the Princeton Recreation Department. Volunteers at the center estimate that as many as twenty people were spending the night at the center during the busiest period. Food and drink were donated from local businesses and donations were made by local residents as well.

-Evan Moorhead Assistant Director, Princeton Recreation
"People who just want to help out others who are a little less fortunate in these circumstances," said Moorhead. Volunteer Grace Asagra Stanley, a community nursing specialist, spoke about the diversity of the people who made use of the shelter, including a doctor, an elderly couple with medical needs and single parents. "It was remarkable that I see families, teenagers here and little ones. I'm not sure of their ages but there were definitely teenagers" says Stanley. "Many people I spoke with are happy that they could… it's a good thing they have an option."
Disaster survivor springs to action By Stephen Harrison Senior Reporter
When Grace Asagra Stanley, a community nursing specialist, heard about a reception center set up at John Witherspoon Middle School in Princeton to help people affected by Hurricane Sandy, she didn't hesitate to volunteer. Stanley runs a non-profit organization called The Web of Compassion (www.webofcompassion.org) which aims to raise money to help the victims of natural disasters. Dealing with natural disasters is second nature for Stanley, who grew up in Legazpi City on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Legazpi City sits near the base of Mayon Mountain, an active volcano, and faces typhoons on a regular basis during the rainy season. "Every Typhoon, every storm passes by my region," Stanley told The VOICE. Her experiences growing up in Legazpi City have led to a lifetime of volunteer work. When Grace was a teenager, a particularly strong typhoon flooded the whole city. With no food in the house, she and her three sisters waded through waist-high water for several miles to reach their parents' restaurant. "That
was one of the craziest things we ever did... it was scary," she said. The restaurant was flooded as well, and they ended up having to sleep on top of tables for several days until the flood waters receded. "Growing up in that situation... you learn not to focus on yourself all the time and just if you're alive you think how can I help others. That becomes second hand nature, so when I heard Princeton has a shelter I thought let me check it out," said Stanley. "It becomes part of your way of living and you're able to cope with it." Hurricane Sandy brought some aspects of life in Legazpi City to mind for Stanley, saying "If I do this volunteering it reminds me of my country... because anything good you do, wherever you are it helps somewhere else too." Stanley credits her time in the Philippines with giving her the mindset she needs to be most effective during disasters. "One thing I learned is that you become resourceful in every way so you don't panic as a volunteer, you always keep your mind in a calm." Stanley is working on her masters in health, arts and sciences from Goddard College. She was trying to com-
Grace Asagra Stanley makes use of Princeton Library's WiFi to submit her thesis
plete and submit her thesis when Hurricane Sandy hit. "There are certain dates that we have to submit, and that date kind of fell on [Hurricane] Sandy" says Stanley. In need of internet access, she discovered the Princeton Public Library was congested with so many people also looking for internet access. Stanley decided to wait until after the library closed saying "I decided to stay right
outside the library where I could still have the wifi... evening at the library is a better chance to be on the wifi because during the daytime there was a lot of people." She got her thesis submitted on time. A holistic nurse by profession in the Philippines, Stanley continued her nursing career when she came to the United States at thirty years of age. She worked as a critical care nurse in a hospital and is
now exploring entrepreneurship as a health coach using nutrition and lifestyle medicine as preventative, curative and rehabilitative approaches. Grace Stanley also hosts a radio program that she livestreams to her native Philippines every Sunday called "Nature's Farmacy." Stanley's goal for "Nature's Farmacy" is to teach people holistic methods of medicine such as herbal remedies.

"If you're out there stressing on your pro day, then you're not going to perform well, so I plan on having a little fun. Play a little music while we're out there throwing the football, have everybody tapping their toes and bobbing their head and just go out there and make the most of the experience."

Curriculum: B.A./B.S. Liberal Studies – Online
Overview | Curriculum | Careers | Tuition & Fees | Contact Us

And please check out the following pages if you need additional information about the baccalaureate core or the College of Liberal Arts core.
Course topics
Courses for this degree program are drawn from the various College of Liberal Arts disciplines so students have the opportunity to study science, technology and society, humanities, social sciences, fine arts, contemporary global issues, non-western culture, cultural diversity, literature and arts, and western culture.
Elementary education focus
The OSU liberal studies program (through a combination of a diverse group of courses) can prepare you to enter a teacher licensure program in elementary education. Sample online courses that are part of this career path include children's literature, human development, history, English literature, non-European cultures, fine arts and science. Your academic advisor (once you are accepted into the liberal studies program) will help you develop the appropriate course plan to meet your elementary education goals.

Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 1 Hold Rating, 7 Buy

While we always hope that an emergency doesn't happen, we can never plan for everything that might happen on your wedding day. Which is why it is important to have a back up for things that can go wrong on your wedding day. While you can't control things like the weather or if the catering company messes up, or if the florist brings the wrong bouquet, there are a few things that can be controlled! One of those things is how you handle things when a crisis happens! And the best way to do that is with a positive attitude. I know it sounds a little childish to say things like that and in the moment it is so hard to be positive about all of the bad things that are occurring, but if you can adapted that attitude, your day will be even better than you expected!
And one thing that the Glam Squad tries to do is to help you in case there are any hair and makeup emergencies. We give each of our brides a little baggie with their lip color, a lip brush to apply the lip color with and a few extra bobby pins in case something goes wrong! So now that your hair and makeup needs will be met in case something goes wrong, I wanted to make sure that you had a few tips in case a few other things that could go wrong do go wrong.
Rain, if it starts to rain on your wedding day, don't worry and don't panic. The overcast that comes before and after the rain is the PERFECT lighting for photos! And no matter what people say, rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck! Not bad luck like everyone thinks!
And then what happens if something gets spilt on your dress? This is where a bridal emergency kit comes in handy! You should have a little kit prepared in case you spill a little bit of your mimosa on your dress or if someone accidentally gets some foundation or lipstick on the bodice. Because of that you should include baby wipes, a stain remover pen, and some chalk (I know that sounds weird but trust me when I say it definitely works!) So try to remove the stain as best as you can and cover up any lasting discoloration with the chalk! And if for some reason that doesn't work, if your dress has a sash do your best to try and move the accessory to cover the stain!
Like I said before there are a lot of things that you can't control and when you are dealing with kids that is something that is even harder to have control of! Although your flower girl is going to look adorable walking down the aisle, there might be a little stage fright for her roll in the wedding! Sometimes there is just so much excitement going on that she might need to have a little nap before the ceremony starts. And if all else fails. Find a bridesmaid or a groomsman who the flower girl knows well and have them escort her down the aisle, that way the pressure would be off of her just alone!
And what happens if your uncle gets a little drunk and starts making an embarrassing speech in front of everyone… well first off, make sure that they have no access to the microphone. But if that doesn't work you should have a plan prepared just in case the worst thing comes to be. First you have to plan in advance who might get a little tipsy and want to make the speech (if we are being honest I am probably that sort of person at a wedding, just ask Amanda!) Having those people in the back of your mind will definitely help. And also having the DJ announce all of the speakers in advance to ensure that there is no room for people to slide in to make an unwanted speech. And if none of that works, have the DJ phase the speaker out by raising the volume of the music and turning the mic down. That way they don't have any opportunity to say something that would truly embarrass you to no end!
But the best way to prepare for disaster? Tell yourself that no matter what at the end of the day you will be married to your best friend and just that simple fact counteracts anything that could possibly go wrong!

|Quoting Stoney (Reply 2):
Don't use the military just for the purpose of getting your wings. If you can't support what you're doing in the military and aren't in there because you want to serve your country, it's absolutely the wrong thing.
|Quoting Airbazar (Reply 4):
I don't know about Canada but many countries don't really give you a choice of not serving in the military, whether you like it or not. It's compulsory. So if that's your case, then just use it to your advantage
|Quoting DLCnxgptjax (Reply 7):
Which got me to thinking, would it be a wise choice to go through flight training, get hired by a regional (after instructing), and then work on your degree once you're established in the regional.. e.g. have a line?

To George Washington from William Irvine, 20 April 1782
I arrived here the 25th March, at that time things were in greater confusion, than can well be conceived; The Country people were to all appearance in a fit of phrensy; about three hundred had Just returned from the Moravian Towns, where they found about ninety Men, Women & Children, all of whom they put to death, tis said after cool deliberation and considering the matter for three days—the whole were collected into their Church, and tied when singing Hymns—On their return a party came and attacked a few Delaware Indians, who have yet remained with us on a small Island close by this garrison, killed two, who had Captains Commissions in our service, and several others, the remainder effected their escape into the Fort, except two who ran to the Woods, & have not since been heard off—There was an officers guard on the Island at the same time, but he either did not do his duty, or his Men connived at the thing, which I am not yet able to ascertain—this last outrage was committed the day before I arrived, nothing of this nature has been attempted since, a number of wrong headed men had conceived an opinion that Colonel Gibson was a friend to Indians, and that he must be killed also, These transactions added to the then Mutinous disposition of the Regular Troops had nearly brought on the loss of this whole Country—I am confident if this Post was evacuated, the bounds of Canada would be extended to the Laurel hill in a few weeks—I have the pleasure however to inform your Excellency that things now wear a more favourable auspect. The Troops are again reduced to obedience, and I have had a meeting or convention of the County Lieutenants & several Field officers, with whom I have made arrangements for defending their frontiers, and who promise to exert themselves in drawing out the Militia agreeable to law on my requisitions—The few remaining Indians, chiefly Women and Children are exceeding troublesome to us, as they dare not stir out of the Fort, not one of the Wariors will even venture on a Reconnoitring party. I think they would be better in some more interior part of the Country where they could be both cheaper fed & Cloathed, beside it is not only inconvenient but improper to have them among the Troops who are without them crouded in dirty bad Barracks, I beg your Excellencys Instructions how to dispose of them—Their Chief Killbuck has a Son, and Brother at Princetown College who he is anxious to see, Captain Springer of the Virginia line, marched some time since with three Indians & as many White Men, towards Sanduskey for the purpose of gaining intelligence; but the Indians proved too timid for him to venture to go all the way—he of course returned without being able to accomplish any thing. I thought it too great a risque, but it was by his request and that of the Indians, who were very solicitous; It was proven on One of the party—named [Eells], that he intended betraying Captain Springer and all the party into the hands of the Enemy—I directed a Board of officers to enquire into his conduct, who were of opinion he should suffer death. I ordered him Executed he was shot the 12th instant, seemingly much to the satisfaction of the other Indians.
Civil authority is by no means properly established in this Country which I doubt proceeds in some degree from inattention in the Executives of Virginia and Pennsylvania, not running the boundary line is I think a proof of this, which is at present an excuse for neglects of duty of all kinds, for at least twenty miles on each side the line—more evils will arise from this neglect than people are aware of—Emigrations and new States are much talked off—advertisements are set up anouncing a day to assemble at Wheeling for all who wish to become members of a new State, on Muskingham—a Certain Mr Johnson is at the head of this party he is ambitious, restless, and some say disaffected, most people however agree he is open to curruption he has been in England since the commencement of the present War—Should these people actually emigrate they must be either entirely cut off or immediately take protection from the British—which I fear is the real design of some of the party tho I think a great majority have no other views than to acquire lands—As I apprehended taking cognisance of these matters would come best from the Civil, I have written to the Governors of Virginia & Pennsylvania on the subject, which I should not have done, till I had first acquainted your Excellency thereof, but for this consideration, Viz. that the 20th of May is the day appointed for the emigrants to Rendezvous consequently a representation from you would be too late—in case the States should think proper to take measures to prevent them. I am much embarrassed by the scanty & irregular supply of Provision, I intend to write Mr Morris on this head. I have the honor to be Sir Your Excellencys Most Obedient Humble Servant
Wm Irvine
DLC: Papers of George Washington.
c.20 April 1782
Report of the arrangement & disposition of Troops in the Western District
Forts Pitt and McIntosh garrisoned by Regular Troops to Patrol between—& from Fort Pitt some distance up the Aliganey River.
Westmoreland County to keep in Actual Service—65 Militia—to be formed into two Companies—under a Field officer—Not to occupy any Stationary Post, but to be kept constantly ranging along the frontier from the Aliganey River to the Laurel Hill.
Washington County to keep 160 Militia in Actual Service—formed into four Ranging Companies under two Field Officers—to scour along the Ohio, from Montaurs Bottom to Wheeling—thence some distance, along the Southern frontier.
The Lieutenants of the Countys in Virginia, make various excuses, & pretences for, their not being able to get out Militia—particularly, that they have not received Instructions from Government for this purpose, and that they do not know their line—I have however written to the Governor on this subject.

text: They're Movin' On Up ... ! ============================ THE JEFFERSONS: The Complete First Season ============================ Makes Its First-Ever Appearance on DVD Aug. 6 in a Special 2-Disc Set __________________________________________________ ___________________ Culver City, Calif. (May 27, 2002) - When they moved out of Queens and into their "deluxe apartment in the sky," George and Louise Jefferson made TV history as the first upwardly mobile African-American couple to star in their own weekly series. Now THE JEFFERSONS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON moves on up to DVD in a two-disc boxed set that makes its debut Aug. 6 from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment. A spin-off of "All In the Family" (also available on DVD from CTHE), THE JEFFERSONS began its ground-breaking, Emmy-winning, ten-year run on American television in September 1975 and remained a Nielsen ratings hit until it left the airwaves in 1985. The new two-disc set features the first season's 13 episodes starring Sherman Hemsley as the obnoxiously egotistical George Jefferson and Isabel Sanford, who won an Emmy Award in 1981 as his levelheaded, sarcastic wife Louise - known best to George and the show's millions of fans as "Weezy." In addition to her win, Sanford was nominated seven times for her performances, and the show received a total of 13 Emmy nominations. THE JEFFERSONS' memorable supporting cast includes Marla Gibbs as the Jeffersons' lazy, wisecracking maid Florence; Roxie Roker and Franklin Cover as the racially mixed couple Tom and Helen Willis; Paul Benedict as the odd, British neighbor Mr. Bentley; and, during the first season, Damon Evans as the Jeffersons' college-aged son Lionel (later replaced by Mike Evans). Created by prolific television producer Norman Lear, George and Louise Jefferson were originally neighbors of Archie and Edith Bunker. Their special guest spots on "All In the Family" proved so popular that it was a natural to star them in their own situation comedy. The new DVD release marks the first time that the first season has been available as a single boxed set, and offers each episode in an uncut format that showcases one of America's most influential television comedies as it was originally presented. THE JEFFERSONS SPECIAL FEATURES * Digitally Mastered Audio and Video * Full Screen Presentations * Audio: English * Subtitles: English, Spanish * Scene Selections * Interactive Menus No MPAA Rating / Price: $29.95 Color / Closed Captioned / 338 minutes (all episodes) DVD #09428 / UPC Code: 0-43396-09428-4 Order Date: July 2, 2002 / Street Date: Aug. 6, 2002

Sorry, but this is probably going to be a newbie question since I have no real knowledge of ruby, gems or chef. I am confused about how different ruby versions relate to the chef resources (cookbooks, recipes etc) on my local PC, the version the application requires, and what is available on the application server (where chef client runs). We manage ruby versions using rbenv.
We have a web application that requires ruby version 2.1.2. On my local PC, from which we manage chef, I can see that versions 2.1.2, 2.3.1 and the system version of 2.3.3 are available. Version 2.1.2 has been set as the global version on the PC. On the (web) application server I can see that versions 2.0.0, 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 are available. Version 2.1.2 has been set as the global version on the server.
Several of the cookbooks (from the chef supermarket) are quite old. If we try and upgrade them some give a dependency error that we need to use ruby version 2.2 (for example) or above. If I change the PC global version to (for example) 2.3.3, then it seems that the local gems are missing for that version. So I assume I need to reinstall all the gems for that version (using 'bundle install' if I remember correctly)?
If we then upload the cookbooks to the (opscode) chef server, and these are downloaded to the application server when I run 'chef-client', I assume the app server needs to have the same version of ruby installed as well? How does chef client know which version of ruby to use, and will this interfere in any way with the global version which is set according to the version required by the application, not the version required by chef client?
I assume this is how things are supposed to work - the application uses one version of ruby (installed on the app server and set as global), chef client can use a different version (also installed on the app server), and the local PC also uses the same version as chef client on the app server? That way we can update cookbooks and gems on the PC, and use the latest ruby version, without it affecting the actual web app or its running on the app server. Does that sound right?
Hi John,
When you install chef-client or ChefDK as provided by Chef Software, those installers come with their own embedded Ruby which is what chef-client and tooling use such that we don't have to worry about what is installed on the system. The Chef DSL has resources like chef_gem which allows you to install gems to the Chef embedded Ruby and gem_package which allows you to specify arbitrary gem binaries. For the most part, the version of Ruby doesn't come into play with cookbooks or recipes unless they are using a gem themselves. In those cases that's probably what is complaining about the version of Ruby.
Hopefully that clears up at least part of it.
Thanks for that. I have now updated my PC ruby (via rbenv) to version 2.4.1, and nothing on the app has broken
I have updated the local gems, which now no longer complain about the ruby version. I have also updated where possible the cookbooks, but some, such as mysql, have breaking changes (to cater for mysql 6.x onwards, and we are still using 5.7). As far as I can tell we either have to keep back some older versions of things because of the underlying software version, or upgrade to the latest cookbook versions and reconfigure the app servers to cater for the breaking changes. The former choice is not good in case chef itself changes and the cookbook starts to fail (which is exactly the problem that started all of this).
