I'm so happy <33
This and style boutique <333
what the hell apple
this is so weird
it cant look as good as the promo, because that would go beyond anything we can do right now
so its probably going to be pretty underwhelming when we do see how it looks/plays
I have been waiting for this! Should be getting money tomorrow and I already know I will love it so I am getting it right away <3
Hibariii< 3333
this is awesome
redesign of something that already is so iconic? ^^'''' well this is exciting..
RIP and thanks for all your hard awesome work.
Love plus would sell really well I'm sure. Come on Treehouse dudes :<
WGTW is a bit snappier? XD
I'm probably going to play Animal Crossing as that is the only game I will have time for. OTL but it will be amazing
Finally -____- god I thought it would never come
@DanteSolablood I guess I can see that, but the design.. .... ... it .. I mean.. look at it. ; ____ ;
it's official now, Nintendo has actually lost it
well I think the study is correct for most kids, but the kids with specific psychological issues can get triggered from playing such games I am sure.
I'm sad, I don't have a big memory card so I hope it will fit :<
Especially with games like these that you finish once, I want to be able to just eject it and place it in a physical library. Since Nintendo has no user account system I would be scared of losing it if I delete it or my system dies. :<
I'm still going to buy it in some way because I absolutely love the series but .... I'm not happy about these news :<
"LordJumpMad said:
Another video of beat OoT real fast?
I think the speed run of this game has already been beaten to death."
Like swimming or running sports?
Cosmo is the best >w</
I don't really trust Kickstarters anymore because I backed one last year and I still haven't gotten my "reward" that was supposed to be sent out in december. Mailed them a lot and finally they should have sent it. I backed a high amount just to get it, a signed print of one of my heroes. ..
But other than that, I loved eternal darkness, and I hope this project gets realized. I don't really care about personal drama since I don't know his side of the story, but my negative kickstarter experience prevents me from giving any money (that and becoming a student. xD)
mew and victini?????? OMG NEED
I thought Beyblade died a long time ago? O_o
Ahhhh, I want it now!
I got the Metroid one and the Kazooie one he did and I really like them, and Chrono Trigger has a really awesome soundtrack so, aaah <3
The only thing I'm thinking about now is how stupid it would look if someone pulled their hair out through their bicycle helmets XD (Like Korinne)
Europe :< plz </3 ..... I really hate region locking. ; _ ; </3
I feel so sorry for the guy in the right, he had the wiiidest smile ever, and he knew the answer, but then was let down and lost all his cash.. aww.
I would imagine it selling like hot cakes in Japan at least..
And now that so many people have played the 3ds version I would imagine it would sell well over here too. But I guess they could wait for the WiiU to get more popular... Zelda is on the way so..
If dating sims like love plus came here I wouldn't care, but they don't. :/ I have imported some games for PSP and I would do the same for my 3ds, if I could.
no, they would still do region specific releases.
But let's say for example that I want to buy the US version that is uncensored, I can't now. If region locking was not in place, I could have gotten it since my personal media tolerance is different than the EU would be in that case. Or like Harvest moon for 3ds which is still not out here yet, I could have bought it one year ago when it released in USA instead of just sitting on my donkey and waiting for it.
no thanks... it's not needed really. Link is pretty feminine on his own
plus she has this sort of mysterious air still. Playing as her would remove that I think. (ignoring the cdi games)
Make more awesome Metroid games instead, or a new ip with a girl hero :3 (Krystal from Star fox?)
@Derpzilla ................ wat
no? I have learnt some Japanese at university, and also by now I understand a lot of spoken Japanese, and dude, seriously, they know voiceacting. They're not afraid to scream or go all in when they do. Lately dubs have picked up too, but watch early anime dubs in english and then in japanese and you'll see.
"I'm pretty certain that to a Japanese viewer or someone who is fluent in the language can tell you that 99.9% of the time the acting sucks, which is why in Japan most anime fans prefer to listen to the dub instead because the acting is miles better."
Where do you get your numbers?
I have grown up in scandinavia and all movies here are subtitled, not dubbed (luckily.......)
It doesn't ruin the movie at all, you don't even think about it when you read them (unless you think about it ofc, then youre screwed)
In my opinion, the material should be enjoyed in it's original form. So this is great!
You could say that having only voices and no subtitles would be alienating deaf people. Or having an english dub would alienate all the people who don't speak english....
So yeah..
yesssssssssss <3
Ah now I really want to buy it on release, .... and I will! XD
excited for this <3
tried the demo and it was really fresh and fun <3
I have tweeted about it some as well as visited a friends town a couple of times- we visit each other at 11pm because of the music and we just derp around
I love animal crossing X3
My 3ds freezes when I try to go to the mii plaza store :<
Edit: and this is why I should read comments before I post
@Epicnessofme99 wow, that's a lot..!? I paid much less for mine. Hobbysearch and amiami are good places to order figures. They ship abroad and the figures don't cost an arm and a leg.
ooooooh! Definitely getting this <3
I love how the first comments are from june 2010...
So we have been waiting for 3 years ^^''
I also bought a 3ds for this game... I can't wait to play it.
Pleaaase let me use a wii u controller to scan pokemon like a pokedex
Pleaaase let me use a wii u controller to scan pokemon like a pokedex
Pleaaase let me use a wii u controller to scan pokemon like a pokedex
what stops kids from staying up late and buying the games exactly? ^^''
noooo... blocked for copyright infringement.... :<<<
.... </3
Wonder when it will be released in EU ; _ ;
gief animal crossing already ; _ ; </3
I knew there would be Apple hate here. XD'
Macs are actually pretty awesome, if only more games worked on Mac OS I wouldn't even use windows. I just hope they don't go the "mobile OS route" as they seem to be heading, because then I don't know anymore.
I tried Windows 8 and I literally cried for how silly it was. Seriously who puts "shut down" under "settings"..
How is that even a thing..
(or play button symbols on videos that don't actually start the video. and the list goes on really.)
Awesome video anyways ^^ <3
I worked as a mac technician so I am probably a bit biased lol. <3 (but I grew up with windows so I know both worlds, and use them both.)
can't wait ! <3
@grumblebuzzz http://www.twitch.tv/zedamex knock yourself out!
The Chrono trigger one kinda sent shivers down my spine ^
yes! <3
seriously, too many games adds DLC as - removing part of the game and then selling it, instead of selling it as a bonus... its sad. :<
why would a full game be that cheap? (laughs)
Waiting for Europe release~~ If it wasn't for region lock I would probably buy it from overseas.. :<
I really loved the first one. Awesome time-sink and makes you feel all fuzzy inside. >w< <3
Bought it <3
Have to support this level of awesomeness! Pirating things like this is boo!

Under the guise of environmentalism, various federal agencies and departments are blocking Border Patrol agents' access to critical areas while contributing to widespread lawlessness along the U.S. border, according to experts. Criminals, meanwhile, are taking full advantage of the rapidly deteriorating situation.
Despite claims by the Obama administration that the American border is "safer" or "more secure" than ever, sources with knowledge of the reality on the ground say that is simply not true. In fact, as Mexico spirals deeper into chaos, conditions along the border are only getting worse — rapidly.
"Far from contained and secure, the Arizona Border remains a terribly dangerous sieve from which not only illegals enter America, but drug cartels operating as organized crime syndicates and even as terrorist cells are coming to and from across America's supposed secure border," noted private-sector intelligence analyst and border expert Lyle Rapacki with Sentinel Intelligence Services in an e-mailed briefing obtained by The New American.
And according to experts, the federal government itself is a major contributor to the problem. Its public-lands policies, for example, have essentially created vast "no-go" zones where the Border Patrol is barred from meaningful operations while criminals and traffickers run wild.

Patnaik stakes claim to form government in Odisha
BJD president Naveen Patnaik Monday met Odisha Governor S.C. Jamir here and formally staked claim to form his government in the state, a day after being elected legislature party leader.
"I submitted to him the letter showing I was elected leader of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) legislature party. The new council of ministers will be sworn in May 21 morning," Patnaik, 67, told reporters after meeting the governor at Raj Bhavan here.
The BJD, led by Patnaik, secured a stunning victory in both the assembly and Lok Sabha elections held simultaneously last month, winning 117 and 20 seats respectively.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could win only one of the state's 21 Lok Sabha seats. In the state assembly polls, the BJP won 10 while the Congress emerged as the main opposition, securing 16 of the total 147 seats.
The Communist Party of India-Marxist and the Samata Kranti Dal, a regional party, won an assembly seat each, while Independents captured two.

MSNBC mistakes Jesse Jackson for Al Sharpton – Watch more Funny VideosWell… kudos, I guess, to MSNBC's Contessa Brewer for not disappearing and leaving a Contessa Brewer-shaped cloud of dust after having the Reverend Jesse Jackson remind her that he is, in fact, not the Reverend Al Sharpton as she introduced him. Apparently MSNBC thinks all wise, elderly black reverends are named Rev. Al Sharpton. Or else they thought Al Sharpton was coming, and he cancelled at the last minute, leaving them with one choice: get "the other one." Then some poor intern forgot to change the script… and the rest pretty writes itself. Tune in to "Countdown" this evening, when Keith Olberman interviews star of the Lethal Weapon series, Forrest Whitaker.

Crown in War of Attrition, Says Echo Chairman John Story
Crown Ltd. Chairman James Packer is waging a "war of attrition" to control Sydney's only casino operator, Echo Entertainment Group Ltd., its chairman said as the Australian billionaire seeks to oust him from the board.
Echo, which also has three casinos in Queensland state, won't accept Crown's nominee to the board and allow it to gain influence without paying, Chairman John Story said by phone from Sydney yesterday.
Packer, whose company is Echo's biggest shareholder with a 10 percent stake, blamed Story for "a period of serious underperformance" and asked investors to remove him in a May 30 statement. Crown, with casinos in Melbourne and Perth, asked regulators for permission to increase its holding, spurring analysts at CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, UBS AG and Macquarie Group Ltd. to speculate that Echo will become a takeover target.
"It's corporate governance 101" not to let the nominee of a competitor onto Echo's board, Story said. Crown is engaged in "a war of attrition designed to make life as difficult as possible for the board and the company until people get tired and hand over control without paying a premium," he said.
Echo shares fell 0.9 percent to A$4.36 at the close in Sydney today after it announced A$40 million ($39 million) of writedowns to its full-year profit before tax.
Matthew Ryan, a Sydney-based analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co., cut his rating on Echo to neutral from overweight after the company announced the charges.
Shares of Melbourne-based Crown fell 1.5 percent to A$8.35 while the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index declined 0.3 percent.
Shareholders Meeting
Packer called for a special shareholders meeting in the statement last month and sought the appointment of Jeff Kennett, former premier of Victoria state, to the company's board. Echo will hold the meeting July 20, the company said in a statement yesterday.
"Obviously if someone thinks they can extract better value than we can out of the assets, and are prepared to pay the required premium, we would engage," Story said.
In a statement released after the market closed yesterday, Echo said it would write off A$29.9 million as a result of the liquidation of SilkStar Global Marketing Ltd., a company acting as an agent for high-rolling Asian gamblers, and would take a A$10 million charge as part of its cost-cutting program.
Those writedowns amount to 23 percent of Echo's estimated profits before tax in the year ending June 30. The company is expected to earn A$177 million before tax, according to the consensus of 11 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Trading "remained difficult" as weak consumer sentiment and demand crimped sales, with revenue excluding the company's VIP business up 3.1 percent from a year earlier as of May 28, Echo said.
Packer's shares in Crown, Consolidated Media Holdings Ltd. and Ten Network Holdings Ltd. are worth $3.8 billion today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. He did not immediately respond to a call left at his Sydney office seeking comment.

In just the month of April, coach Urban Meyer and his staff have gained eight commitments to the Ohio State recruiting class of 2013, with one of the top defensive end prospects in the country — Joey Bosa of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — adding his pledge yesterday.
Throw in defensive end/linebacker Lewis Neal of Wilson, N.C., who also committed yesterday, and that means the Buckeyes have 13 for '13, headed toward a class that likely will number about 20 come February.
In the past two weeks, OSU also has landed other prize recruits. J.T. Barrett of Wichita Falls, Texas, is rated by one recruiting service as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback prospect; Alex Anzalone of Wyomissing, Pa., is a premier linebacker recruit; and Marcus Baugh of Riverside, Calif., is among the best tight ends nationally.
Mike Farrell, the national recruiting editor for Rivals.com, said he's not surprised by the Buckeyes' early success.
"This is nothing unexpected; this is what Urban did at Florida," Farrell said.
Bosa is a nephew of former Ohio State defensive end Eric Kumerow. In starring for Aquinas, one of the premier high-school programs in the country, he was sought by almost every major college in the nation, including those in the Southeastern Conference.
"Everybody thought he was going to go to Alabama, or at the very least stay in SEC country," Farrell said. "It's a big surprise (his choosing OSU), but it just shows what happens when you get on campus and Urban Meyer gives you the pitch."
Bosa, son of former Miami Dolphins defensive end John Bosa, joined Anzalone and several other prospects at Ohio State for an unofficial visit last weekend, during which they took in the spring game. It was Joey Bosa's second visit to OSU this spring, and after tweeting Sunday that he had conquered the famous Thurmanator burger from the Thurman Cafe, he evidently left with a good taste in his mouth.
Yesterday morning, after returning home to south Florida, he tweeted: "Committed to the Ohio State University."
"Thank you to everyone who had an interest in me … I can't even say how thankful I am, but Ohio State is just the place for me."
Veteran recruiting analyst Bill Kurelic had anticipated Bosa's decision, but it didn't lessen the impact.
"It's a tremendous coup for Coach Meyer and his staff, especially considering the three high-profile defensive ends they signed with the 2012 class," Kurelic said, referring to Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington and Se'Von Pittman. "You'd think that would have made it difficult to attract another great defensive end so quickly."

Rating: 4 / 5
Not exactly known for (ultra) lightweight gear this one has won it's place in my lightweight kit list.It's a stretch windproof, water resistant pull over which is rather tight fitting. It weighs just 8 oz. but is extremly comfortable over a wide range of temperatures. It excells in cool temperatures were the breathing is way better than my GoLite Helios. It feels more comfortable as well.On a recent trip in the Swiss Alps I wore it over a Patagonia Silkweight t-shirt in cool, windy and rainy conditions. When there was persistant rain I just added the GoLite Helios and that was it.It is made of a very durable stretch material so it is excellent for climbing, backsliding snowslopes, bushwacking and all other abrasive activities.Fitting is thight, with no elastic hem or cuffs so putting it on and off can be a little ackward at times. There is one external pocket on the chest which is rather small to be really functional.The chest zipper is about 10 inches and is adequate for venting.I rate it a 4 out of 5 because of excellent quality, usability and durability. The tight fit makes it not very suitable for layering over many garments.

English Access Microscholarship Program
English Access Microscholarship Program launch
On June 4, 2013 the United States Consulate in Durban partnered with non-profit organization Talk English and the Zwelibanzi High School in Umlazi to launch the English Access Micro Scholarship Program (ACCESS). Teachers and family members cheered the ninth grade students who successfully competed for the coveted spots and received certificates marking the start of their journey. The English Access Micro Scholarship Program provides a foundation of English language skills to talented 13-20 year olds through after-school classes and intensive summer sessions. Access gives participants English skills that may lead to better jobs and educational prospects.
Located in Umlazi Township South of Durban, Zwelibanzi was called 'South Africa's best high school' by University of Free State vice-chancellor, Jonathan Jansen in a column in The Times newspaper in 2011and has a high matric pass rate. The U.S. Consulate in Durban has partnered with Zwelibanzi in the past, the most recent program being a visit from University of California at Berkeley as part of the launch of the MasterCard Foundation Scholarship Program.
Representatives of the United States Diplomatic Mission to South Africa from Durban and Pretoria joined together to celebrate the launch and to provide books and materials for the program's success. ACCESS is an integral part of the Regional English Language Office which includes teaching exchange programs. Books such as the Mzansi Journal written and designed by former ACCESS students, information about President Barack Obama, and many others are part of the program's new library of materials. Principal of Zwelibanzi High School Mr. Sibusiso Maseko was presented with a signed copy of Sacred Legacy: Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indian as a token of esteem and gratitude from the United States Consulate in Durban.
The ceremony included a welcome from Zwelibanzi Principal Mr. Maseko and words of inspiration from the U.S. Diplomatic Mission and partners and performances by the students. The students were encouraged to seize this opportunity to improve their English skills as one of many tools in their toolbox of success. They were told to learn about other cultures while respecting and appreciating their own cultures, and remaining grateful to their families, communities, and educators who are helping them up the ladder of achievement.
The English Access Micro Scholarship Program started as a world-wide program in 2004. Currently there are more than 95,000 students throughout 85 countries that are participating in learning the English language through this program. ACCESS was launched in South Africa in 2007 and was first launched in the province of KwaZulu Natal in 2010 at the Chatsworth Education Center. Students from all over South Africa have embraced the ACCESS program and have enjoyed and benefitted from the journey. From Chatsworth to Atteridgeville to Kayamandi and more, ACCESS has made an impact on students throughout South Africa. There are 360 students participating in the ACCESS program nationwide and we are pleased that students from Zwelibanzi have joined their numbers.

Normally, a Reds ninth-inning lead is as safe as it gets. When Aroldis Chapman is injured, however, that is not the case.Juan Lagares led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk against J.J. Hoover. Anthony Recker attempted to bunt him to second, and what was initially called a force out at second was overturned by video review. With runners now on first and second, Hoover walked Ruben Tejada, who was trying to give himself up with a sacrifice bunt. Collins then called on one-time starting first baseman Ike Davis, who has been relegated to the role of the team's top pinch hitter with Lucas Duda entrenched in the starter's role. Hoover hung an 0-1 curveball, and Davis didn't miss it, crushing a walk-off grand slam deep into the right field stands and giving the Mets a 6-3 win. Duda, who hit two homers on Friday, will get every opportunity to prove that he deserves to hold onto the everyday job, and there are still reports that the team would ultimately like to trade Davis. For one day, though, he showed flashes of the promise he had while hitting 32 homers in 2012. Promoted Stories Comments

Sony SmartWatch 2 launched, may prove to lead the Android smart watch wars
Make way Apple iWatch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, Sony has just launched the Sony SmartWatch 2, their next generation smart watch for all Android smartphones, and considering that it's early compared to its rumoured counterparts, it may just prove successful.
Why not take a moment and check out Amzer's great line of Sony Xperia Z accessories?
The Sony SmartWatch 2 runs on Android and packs quite a bit of connectivity in the form of NFC and Bluetooth 3.0. It supports all Android devices with Android 4.0 or higher and allows remote functionality, allowing it to answer calls, send texts and more. The SmartWatch 2 packs a tiny seeming 1.6-inch display with a 220 x 176 pixel resolution.
Like the latest Xperia devices, it is IP57 certified against dust and water, which should give it an edge over current similar offerings.

SPLC says it's "not really set up to cover the extreme Left"Category: SPLC
The Southern Poverty Law Center has over $150 million in portfolio assets, but says it doesn't have the resources needed to track legitimate hateful and violent groups.
Rather than doing that, apparently, they will continue to monitor and track everything I say on the radio. I was added to their "hate group" list years ago for making statements like the one below, which was documented in the epic report on my work that appeared in their misnamed "Intelligence Report" magazine.
"Crime and violence follow African-Americans wherever they go," he said in his April 4 CNN debut, a panel debate on "self-segregation" hosted by Paula Zahn. "And if you think that is racist, then spend some time on the mean streets of south Memphis."
Zahn, who initially identified Edwards to CNN viewers as merely a "radio talk show host" from Memphis, invited him back on May 21 for a "Paula Zahn Now" episode titled "The Changing Face of America."
"Why not celebrate the diversity?" Zahn asked him in one exchange.
"My primary interest is to protect and safeguard my family," Edwards replied. "Whites are in for the fight of their lives. America is becoming balkanized. We are being robbed of having a future in the very nation our ancestors carved from the wilderness."
Making normal, sensible statements like that on the radio and on television will earn you a spot on the "hate group" listing. Threatening to blow up bridges and other assorted mayhem will not – if you're a leftist.
In light of the May Day arrests of the Cuyahoga 5, the Occupy Wall Street–affiliated group of men who planned to blow up a bridge in Cleveland, Ohio, I called the Southern Poverty Law Center to find out of they had any plans to start tracking the Occupy movement. The first person I spoke to was so shocked by the question that she paused for a good 15 seconds before promising to put me in touch with a representative. This she eventually did, however, and after a game of cat-and-mouse — the person she'd found for me was busy "hosting an international conference on right-wing extremism," natch — we managed to touch base and I to pose the question: "Do you have any plans to start tracking Occupy Wall Street after a hate group tried to blow up a bridge?"
"No, I don't think so," he said. "We blogged it right away when it happened." I asked him why he thought this deserved only a blog post, and he explained that the SPLC only deals with "hatred of people based on class characteristics," which a little more pushing revealed meant "immutable characteristics such as a person's eye or skin color." "So," I asked, "Occupy doesn't count because it doesn't hate people based on their innate characteristics?" He assented, but didn't explain adequately why SPLC is vocal on "Islamophobia," for example — whatever Islam is, it is not an "immutable" characteristic — and why it concerns itself with matters of traditionalist Catholic theology.
"We did go after the eco-terrorists," he told me. "But that was because they'd adopted the same tactics as the abortion activists: vilification, the use of 'Wanted' posters, highlighting the names and whereabouts of people's children and spouses." And then he went on a long speech about "anti-abortion extremists" that had very little to do with what I was asking, but no doubt made him feel good. I met this with silence, so he said that, really, the SPLC only tracks those who commit violence or who seek to destroy whole systems in the name of an ideology.
"Isn't that exactly what happened in Cleveland?" I asked. "These five men, all linked with Occupy Wall Street, attempted to blow up a bridge as an overture to the wholesale destruction of Cleveland, Ohio, and in the name of anarchism. They also looked to blow up the Republican convention."
"They were anarchists," he repeated.
He paused. "We're not really set up to cover the extreme Left."
This was at least honest. He must have heard me thinking, because he continued, "Some people ask why we don't cover prison gangs or the Crips and the Bloods, because they are violent, too. But they aren't political, you see."
"But Occupy is political," I suggested.
Back to the honesty: "Well, take it if you will, or won't."
"Fair enough."
He felt the need to keep explaining, so I let him. We only ever cover left-wing groups when they have a right-wing component, he told me. For example, "when anarchist groups are infiltrated by those on the right; Neo-Nazis, that sort of thing."
I asked whether this was a little like the way the French do masculine and feminine plurals; that if there are a thousand women and one man, it becomes masculine. In other words, that the SPLC covers a group if there is even a minute "right-wing" component. "Yes, I suppose so," he said.
I left it there, but I couldn't help feeling that there was a little bit of a syllogism going on; that being that "Left" equals "good," and "Right" equals "bad," and therefore anything "Left" couldn't be "bad" unless it were infiltrated by the "Right." In my time covering Occupy Wall Street I have seen anti-Semitism, black nationalism, class hatred, and threats of violence; there have been rapes, a few murders, and now some domestic terrorism. One would have thought that these things would be sufficient warrant for a group like the Southern Poverty Law Center to stand up and take serious note, but, as I learned yesterday, there's one problem: They're just "not set up to cover the extreme Left."
You could literally stumble over the hypocrisy here. It is well known that numerous threats have been made against my life over the years and the SPLC conveniently disregards such actions. In 2008, members of a local left-wing group in Memphis took credit for threatening to blow up a hotel at which I was scheduled to give a speech. They also called the hotel manager at his home and told him they would kill his family if he allowed our meeting to continue. The manager promptly resigned from his job. Again, not a peep from the SPLC. The group in question is still not on the "hate group" listing.
The fact of the matter is that the SPLC couldn't care less about legitimate "hate groups." They are in the business to simply smear decent conservative activists, such as myself, in order to cash in on their ideology.
I can back up my claims.
If you want to read a comprehensive account of what the SPLC is all about, I would like to direct you to an issue of The Social Contract that was published to serve as a detailed expose on America's leading merchants of intolerance.
Read it here and pass it along to your associates.
For what it's worth, I told an NBC reporter in 2006 that I was "ecstatic" to have been added to their "hate" list, because I knew what it was all about. I still maintain that you haven't made it as a conservative leader until the SPLC outs you as a "hater."

This reminds me of the conference James and Dr. Duke were going to have @ a hotel in Olive Branch, MS back in 2008. When the media reported threats being made to the hotel staff because of the conference, executive director Jacob Flowers of the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center was all grins and giggles in front of the television cameras. According to the MSPJC, you're a hateful supremecist if you have any moral convistion of loyalty to your European American heritage, but if you're a cross dressing negro prostitute with an arrest record a mile long who gets murdered in the mean streets of north Memephis, Flowers and his center will take to the asphalt and march on your behalf. They're a bunck of koo koos.

'We're not really set up to cover the extreme left'. No sh*t Sherlock!
The SPLC is one of many anti-White organizations designed to promote our genocide by intimidating and blackmailing us into silence about it.
Bravo James for making their "hate" list.

Nice work by Charles Cook of National Review. For years the $PLC insisted that it isn't biased because it also covers black supremacist groups like the Nation of Islam. It seems to me like the only reason the $PLC covers black supremacist groups is because they don't like Jews. Morris Watts is a dirty Jew. The $PLC and ADL are both textbook examples of the scathing hatred at least 80% of Jews have in their hearts for people of European origin. Unless a black supremacist group calls out Jews, the $PLC and ADL could care less about them. If anything they support the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers cause the blacks on those groups hate whites as much as they do.

Go to their site. Even the Jewish Take Force is listed as a hate group. James Dobson is too. There are no more nazis and kkk members to go after since they are dead or dying in nursing homes now, so they need to find new ways to justify their existence. Shows how desperate they are to keep adding anyone who isn't a toe-the-line leftist to their 'hate list.'

Pineapple, Caramel, and Roasted Macadamia Nut Shortcakes
- Active Time 25m
- Total Time 55m
Enough for 8 biscuits
Shortcake goes Hawaiian with fresh pineapple and roasted macadamia nuts, all bathed in sweet, amber caramel.
- For the Sauce:
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- For the Shortcake:
- 2/3 cup macadamia nuts, salted or unsalted
- 1/2 beaten egg white
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 large fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, cut in 1/2-inch pieces,
- and sprinkled with 1/4 cup sugar
- Basic Shortcake (see recipe)
- Whipped cream
Companion recipe: Basic Shortcake Biscuits
FOR THE SAUCE: Put 2 1/4 cups sugar in a large, heavy pan and heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar is melted (there will be lumps). Keep stirring until all the lumps disappear and the sugar is a medium-dark amber. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream. (The caramel will spatter, so stand back.) Add the rest of the cream and stir until completely smooth. Keep warm until ready to serve; store extra caramel sauce in the refrigerator for up to a month.
FOR THE SHORTCAKE: Glaze and roast the macadamia nuts. Stir the nuts, egg white and 1 teaspoon sugar until combined. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and bake 13-15 minutes in a 325 degrees F oven. Cool completely.
Split the biscuits by pulling them apart, and place the bottom of the biscuit on the serving plate. Gently spoon the pineapple and caramel sauce onto the biscuit and top with a small amount of whipped cream. Put the remaining biscuit half on top of the fruit and spoon more pineapple and caramel sauce on top. Add another dollop of whipped cream and garnish with the macadamia nuts and chunks of pineapple. Serve immediately.

The post is funny, biting and for the most part a fairly accurate portrayal of the problems encountered while using the most visited social networking site in the world. (At last count MySpace sat at sixth place on online information company Alexa's most popular sites, followed by Facebook and Hi5.) Owens lists ten reasons why one should leave the world of MySpace, including "You rarely log in to MySpace except to delete spam friend requests from nude webcam girls," and "You visit someone's profile only to have your eyes bleed because of terrible page layout with non-matching designs and font colours."
This isn't the first time MySpace has attracted criticism. In 2006, PC World gave MySpace the dubious honour of top place on their list of the 25 Worst Web Sites, while other blogs like Who Sucks had already listed their own '16 reasons why MySpace sucks.' Like Owens, they complained about the site's ongoing problems with spam, server speed, security, intrusive advertising and aesthetics (namely that customisable profile pages have led to horrendous looking things like this.) Both also point out MySpace's well publicised problems with child predators.
The difference with Owens's entry is that he choose a date to quit and called upon the rest of the web world to likewise shove off the MySpace island and thereby send a clear message to the bosses that their product bites.
Within two days there was a Facebook event dedicated to the cause and other blogs were reposting his list of complaints and showing their support. Another two days later and the post had elicited a comment from Rebekah Horne, vice president of Fox Interactive Media and MySpace in Australia and New Zealand - albeit one of nonchalance, "This Delete-Your-MySpace day is just about being controversial. MySpace is still the biggest social networking site in the world." Social networking news site Mashable was surprised by the sort of response they had when they covered the post, saying the story had "grown to what can only be described as Spartacan proportions".
But is it so surprising that people are passionate about their social networking sites? After all, most users will confess to checking and using the site at least daily, if not several times a day, as another way to connect to those they love (or met once or twice). It's little wonder we want a tool we rely on so heavily to be well designed.
Owens, a 23-year-old newspaper journalist from Virginia, has been on MySpace for less than a year, and on Facebook since late 2005. And along with the other 1,431 Facebook users who have confirmed their attendance of the International Delete Your MySpace Account Day, he'll tell you that when it comes to the race for the ultimate social networking site, Facebook has claimed the crown fair and square.
For Owens it comes down to problem-solving, and the makers of Facebook have done a remarkably better job of it.
"I never get spammed with fake friend requests from Facebook, which means that Facebook is somehow battling the problem better than MySpace," Owens told newmatilda.com. "The problem with social networks is that too many people look at them with dollar signs in their eyes, realising that if they can somehow tap into that network they can market a product, whether it's nude webcams or advertising the new Spiderman movie.
"It's not always a bad thing. I'm not against advertising, I'm just against intrusive advertising, and for the most part Facebook has battled that, though I've been getting annoyed with their applications. I'm getting tired of getting tons of invites for super pokes and zombies and vampires and other things that cloud the network. In some ways this is becoming a new form of spam, although one that's very easy to create filters for."
But how long will it be before we see an International Delete Your Facebook Account Day? (Which, by the way, isn't easy to do.) Earlier this month, Tom Hodgkinson wrote a searing piece in The Guardian questioning the motives of the site's founders, as well as what he sees as an Orwellian privacy policy.
There are already several "Facebook suicide" groups, begun by users to help wean one another off their Facebook addiction. Former users complain that the site led to an invasion of privacy, was a poor substitute for more personal forms of communication and turned them into stalkers slash exhibitionists.
However, for the most part Facebook's growth continues at an incredible rate of two million new users per week. Meanwhile MySpace battles a growing backlash of which International Delete Your MySpace Account Day is likely to be just the beginning.
It'll be interesting to see if Owens's protest makes any discernible dent in MySpace's membership numbers. In this story, Mashable points out that in order to have any effect on the site one requires the use of a petition tool like The Point.
But the truth is, although serious about MySpace's misgivings, Owens did write the post on a whim. (To critics who claim he comes off as "whiny" he replies: "So what? It's the freaking blogosphere and it took me all of five minutes to write the post. It's my blog and I can cry if I want to.") And other bloggers like 25-year-old Levi Figueira of LeviFig.net who helped fan the flames of the cause with this post , or 27-year-old Tom Krieglstein, who began the supporting Facebook group, seem to approach it with an attitude of humour, using the day as an opportunity to express their grievances with MySpace, rather than any hard intent to bring MySpace to its knees.
And for Owens, whether we're talking Facebook, Hi5, Bebo or the myriad of other specialist social networking sites that are popping up, he admits the fad is here to stay. "It isn't anywhere near to slowing down and it is a really innovative way to keep connected to people you wouldn't otherwise take the time to talk to more than once a year. It's kind of cool being able to watch what happens to friends who live far away on a daily basis."
(And for the record, yes I am on both Facebook and MySpace, albeit after periods of going AWOL. But in both cases I've deactivated the "wall" and am quite careful with the information I post about myself.)

Well, good luck to everyone trying to delete their MySpace pages - the delete function hasn't worked (at least for a couple of profiles I've been trying to get rid of) for several months now. I get the confirmation email and follow the procedure but the sites just keep on keeping there.
As for Facebook ... I believe a lot of people will regret the info they've posted on such sites. I have heard of an employer who does a routine check of the Internet on job applicants, and it wouldn't be surprise me if this is not becoming common practice. Once it's there in cyberspace, it's always there.

Very incisive article. Makes me incredibly glad I was out of high school before the MySpace fad hit.

Police discover 'mobile meth lab' in car
What began as a report that a customer tried to write a bad check at a Tonganoxie convenience store ended in what authorities believe was the capture of a mobile methamphetamine lab.
John Putthoff, acting Tonganoxie police chief, said that about 11 a.m. Saturday, Tonganoxie police received a call from G&P Country Market about a man who had tried to write a bad check.
Two men were leaving the store, and the officer told them to stop. According to Putthoff, one of the men dropped a gallon jug of milk on the ground and both men took off running.
Tonganoxie police officer Chip Marquardt followed and, at gunpoint, ordered one of the men to stop.
A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper assisted Marquardt, Putthoff said.
"The guy gave up pretty easily," Putthoff said.
The 32-year-old man, who has been temporarily living at Sunset Motel, was arrested.
It was later learned that the Basehor Police Department had a warrant for the man's arrest on charges of failure to appear on traffic and drug paraphernalia charges, said Basehor police Sgt. Martin Cigich.
The second suspect escaped, but soon was reported seen at Sunset Motel -- along with the car, a pink Ford Taurus, that had been at G&P Market.
"We got word that the car showed up at the motel and one of the females was throwing stuff in the back of the car," Putthoff said. "They got out of there in a hurry."
The car headed east on U.S. Highway 24-40. Tonganoxie police contacted Basehor police, who stopped the car, which was speeding, at 142nd Street, which Cigich said, is just outside Basehor city limits.
The 24-year-old male driver of the car was driving on a suspended license and without insurance, Cigich said.
"The driver was nervous," Cigich said. "And he ended up telling the officer that there were some meth lab items in the vehicle -- he didn't want to be charged with that."
A sheriff's detective searched the vehicle and found the alleged meth-making products, Basehor police officer Andrew Slaughter said.
Police took the driver into custody, as well as two of the three women passengers, 22- and 24-year-old sisters, who had outstanding Kansas warrants. The sisters' mother, the third passenger, was not taken into custody.

Most folks in Cazadero, where 100 inches of rain a year is not big deal, measure every inch in gauges at their homes and discuss their results.
"Everybody's comparing all the time when it rains," said Don Berry, a Cazadero native whose great-grandfather bought the town in the 1880s.
But there was comparatively little to talk about this winter, even in the coastal hills of Sonoma County, where incoming storms typically drop sheets of rain.
According to the Western Regional Climate Center in Reno, California's North Coast Region — defined as a narrow strip of land running from the southwest corner of Sonoma County to the Oregon border — got just 12.6 inches of rain from December through February, the region's third-driest winter in history.
The coast's driest winter was in 1977, when 9.3 inches fell. The wettest winter brought 59.5 inches in 1956.
The North Central Region, which includes most of Sonoma County and also runs to the Oregon border, received 12.8inches, making December-February the 10th-driest winter in 119 years, the climate center found.
There's a bit of rain expected for Sonoma County next week, but the latest long-term forecast puts the entire West Coast in the only zone in the lower 48 states with a "below normal" probability of rain for the next three months, according to the National Weather Service.
With the Redwood Empire's reservoirs only half to three-quarters full and water managers calling for conservation, hope for meaningful moisture is turning toward the prospect of an El Ni? system setting up this summer or fall.
Accuweather meteorologist Randy Adkins said it is "fairly likely" that an El Ni? "of some magnitude" will occur. "We could be looking at some relief from the drought," he said.
But there is no guarantee that El Ni?, a warming of water in the tropical Pacific Ocean, will bring above-average rainfall to California, Adkins said.

Synonyms: glnUalpha, supB, trnA
Superclasses: tRNAgln
tRNA(glnU) is one of four glutamine tRNAs.
tRNAs are the adapters that allow synthesis of proteins from mRNAs. Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome for protein synthesis. There, the tRNA recognizes an RNA codon with its own three-nucleotide anticodon, thus allowing synthesis of a specific peptide based on an mRNA template.
tRNAs are processed to their active, mature forms by RNA cleavage and by modification of their bases. RNA cleavage consists of removal of both 5' and 3' extensions in a multistep process involving many RNases [Morl01]. RNases taking part in tRNA processing include ribonuclease E, RNase BN, RNase D, ribonuclease II, and RNase T. tRNAs are also subject to a wide variety of base modifications catalyzed by proteins such as tRNA-dihydrouridine synthase A, tRNA(i6A37) synthase, isopentenyl-adenosine A37 tRNA methylthiolase, tRNA-specific 2-thiouridylase, fused 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine-forming methyltransferase and FAD-dependent demodification enzyme, tRNA-guanine transglycosylase, tRNA m7G46 methyltransferase, tRNA pseudouridine 13 synthase, tRNA pseudouridine 65 synthase, tRNA pseudouridine 55 synthase, tRNA pseudouridine synthase I, tRNA (Gm18) 2'-O-methyltransferase, and tRNA m5U54 methyltransferase.
Mature tRNAs are linked via a 3' CCA sequence to their cognate amino acid in an ATP-dependent fashion by the appropriate amino-acid-tRNA synthetase, as shown in the tRNA charging. Subsequently, these charged tRNAs interact with the ribosome and template mRNA to generate polypeptides. The discovery of the role of tRNA in protein synthesis is reviewed in detail in [Siekevitz81].
A structure of tRNA(gln) bound to glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase has been determined to a resolution of 2.8 Å [Rould89].

On view are 25 revenue stamps that identified imitation food products and paid for enforcement of new consumer laws. During the 19th century, imitation food products such as oleomargarine and filled cheese were sold at bargain prices as authentic farm products. A reform movement to regulate and tax these adulterated products began in the 1870s. Highlights of the exhibition include an 1871 imported cigar stamp, an 1872 imitation wine stamp, 1926 and 1931 oleomargarine stamps, a series of 1952 filled cheese stamps, and a manufacturer's annual special tax stamp used on mixed-grain flour.

I've included an income/expense report within this post. By looking at the numbers, here's some quick thoughts on improvements I can make for the rest of the year.
* Spend less money on dining. Lunch at the cafeteria is almost $7.00! That's unacceptable.
* Find some ways to make more money. Yeah…
* I've modified Quicken's "Auto" category to include depreciation for my car. That category also contains mass transit expenses and should probably be renamed "Transportation" instead.
* The "Interest Exp" category contains the interest paid for my car loan (at 2%) and student loan (at about 3% last time I checked).

Smoked Out
Chris Derry of the Bluegrass Institute in Kentucky is discussing the pros and cons of a tobacco tax tonight on TV.
If you can't catch it on TV, check out this Cato publication on how higher taxes didn't fix New York's budget crisis.
Or, there's Paul Gessing's piece on how high taxes (particularly a 75-cent cigarette tax) made Michigan the only state in the union to lose jobs in 2004.
Both houses of the state Republican legislature have actively assisted Granholm in making Michigan inhospitable to business and job growth.
In the past year alone, the Republican-dominated legislature has delayed a scheduled income-tax cut by six months (costing taxpayers $77 million), raised cigarette taxes by 75 cents ($300 million annual cost to smokers), hiked the tax on Detroit's casinos from 18 percent to 24 percent (costing $49 million), boosted driving fees and penalties (cost of $115 million annually), sped up the collection of county property taxes, and generally avoided steep cuts in state government spending.

That is too bad you've been attacked for your NFP beliefs! I may not feel the same way as others about the reason for doing it but I respect everyone's wishes.
My OB is now only advocating NFP. He will no longer perform tubals or prescibe BCP's due to his Catholic beliefs. He has always been Catholic so I'm not sure why all of a sudden he stopped but he did. Now....he will refer his patients who need those things to the other dr in his practice so if you want BCP or a tubal he will make sure you get it from her but he will not do it. I respect his convictions on this. He did prescribe the BCP to me since it is for my PCOS though.View Thread

Leaders of the nation's four largest health plans told HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a White House meeting Thursday that they share a "common purpose" with her to improve the nation's healthcare system, but they defended their proposed double-digit rate hike in the individual market. The meeting was seen as cordial and somewhat productive, but essentially broke no new ground, with both sides sticking to their months' long talking points.

The healthcare sector created 12,000 new jobs in February, even as overall employment from all business sectors saw 36,000 jobs lost, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics preliminary data released this morning. The national jobless rate remained steady at 9.7%.
The Office of Inspector General recovered $4 billion in fraudulent Medicare charges last year, but that sum is "just the tip of the iceberg" in the amount of corrupt practices overcharging taxpayers, Daniel Levinson, the agency's chief, testified Thursday. "More disturbing, even if the rate of fraud remains constant, as healthcare expenditures continue to rise, the financial impact of healthcare fraud will continue to increase," he said.
Patients admitted to a hospital on a weekend are half as likely to get procedures they need on the same day they arrive than if they were admitted on a weekday, according to a federal report that officials say is the first of its kind. The study also disclosed that 2.4% of patients admitted on the weekend died in the hospital, compared to 1.8% of patients admitted during the week.

Sangiao: Wushu Sanda kicks off in CARAA meet 2014-A A +A
By Mark Sangiao
Tap Out
Friday, February 7, 2014
THE Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association (CARAA) Meet 2014 started with a parade of delegates in the morning of Friday, February, 7, 2014 and had the opening program at the Benguet Sports Center, Wangal, La Trinidad, Benguet where most of the events during the week-long competition will be held.
This year's competition will be hosted by the province of Benguet and is joined by chosen athlete representative in elementary and secondary with ages 13-17 from the different provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region such as Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mountain Province including Baguio City which is the overall champion in 2013.
The CARAA Meet 2014 will mark the kickoff of Wushu Sanda as a Demonstration Sport in the said week-long competition which will end on February 11th.
There are 25 matches for Wushu Sanda which is scheduled in the morning of February 8 at the Kalinga Pilota Court at Woodsgate, Camp 7, Baguio City. There are 35 delegates coming from Baguio City, Benguet, Apayao, Ifugao and Kalinga.
Gold medallists in each weight will be the players to proceed to the Palarong Pambansa 2014 while the Silver and Bronze medalists will be alternates if the gold medalist will be injured during training preparation to the Palaro.
The Ground Rules for this competition will use the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) Rules and the Juniors weight categories will be based on the Department of Education CAR Ground Rules.
Variation of rules for under eighteen years old are no head/neck kicks, no continuous punching to the head and face and no strikes to the groin/ crouch area.
Hand bandage will be standard 3 to 5 meters and will be checked by the officials-in-charge as well as re-checking of blood pressure will be done before, during and after each fight during the competition day.
The officiating team for CARAA-Wushu Sanda 2014 Competition which is headed by Tan Sui Tong Candelaria as the Jury/ Tournament Manager had been having their preparation since last month and had the Refresher Course at the La Trinidad Lakay Gym at Km. 4, La Trinidad, Benguet and also had the final weigh-ins Friday.
Meanwhile, it's just one week to go before the 15th Team Lakay Grapplers Cup which will be happening on February 16, 2014 at the Igorot Garden. This event is included as part of the Community-led events of the Panagbenga Festival 2014.
The 15th Team Lakay Grappler's Cup is sponsored by Baguio Representative Nicasio Aliping, Bagsan Law Office, Malcom Travel Sale located in Magsaysay Ave, Baguio City, Greenwich Pizza- Session Road Branch and Summer Capital Spa, Wellness and Therapeutic Massage Clinic located at Room 308, Laperal Bldg., Session Road, Baguio City.
The purpose of having this event is to provide a venue for our students and athletes to showcase what they have been learning in the gym and to provide the athletes more exposure and experience, which are part of the development of the ground games of our fighters and members as well as the other participants from different gyms all around the Cordilleras. Other purposes of this grappler's cup are to promote sportsmanship and camaraderie among the competitors and to raise awareness on the effects of sports especially among the youth.
These two sports events happening this week are great steps in developing the youth to become responsible and law-abiding citizens. I believe sports give positive effects on their process of becoming good individuals. Sports teach the athletes self-discipline, respect to others, patience, hard-work, sense of responsibility and creates good health-awareness to the next generation.

Plot elements are being kept under wraps but we do know this is an original project from the Wachowskis and they are now discussing which A-list star to will lead the cast.
Lord only knows what film technology they'll invent next. They've already raised the bar on the genre pretty high with the crazy sequences they composed in The Matrix and Speed Racer. Whatever they end up bringing to the table will have to be fresh and inventive. And, most importantly, easily copied in future Scary Movie films. (Deadline)

POTSDAM - Potsdam Central Superintendent Patrick H. Brady shared projections of whats in store for taxpayers in both the Canton and Potsdam school districts should a merger not take place during a town hall meeting Tuesday on the ongoing discussions about combining the two districts .
This information prompted one concerned citizen, Angie Peploski to ask What happens when we go bankrupt?
Mr. Brady noted current possibilities include tuitioning students to a neighboring district, borrowing money to cover expenses or possibly the state coming in and taking a look at the districts finances.
The state has not put out a lot of options, he said.
Board of education member Frederick C. Stone Jr. also offered another option.
Or you could put out a budget with a 21 percent tax rate increase and let the community decide if its worth it, he said.
Ms. Peploski said the answer to that question... What happens if... is something that the community really needs to hear.
I think the community really needs to know what happens if this doesnt happen, she said. Nobody likes changes she said, and for that reason people may tend to vote against this.
According to budget projections presented by Mr. Brady, the Canton Central School District would run out of fund balance and reserves by the close of the 2015-2016 school year with Potsdams savings projected to evaporate by the end of the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
Projections through the 2019-2020 school year show that while a merged district would be using some fund balance by that time they would should have savings of more than $5.7 million, with their account peaking at just more than $6.5 million at the close of the 2017-2018 year.
The projection though of using fund balance that early into the merger though led some people to call the merger a temporary fix.
What this merger money seems to offer is pushing back our execution date by three years, Geoffrey Clark said, referring to the projections that show even a merged district would be on an unsustainable financial path, dipping into its fund balance after only three years of savings.
There are some things that would have to change, yes, Mr. Brady said, adding he would like to see insurance contributions for school employees determined at the state level, rather then be left up to each individual district to negotiate.
Mr. Clark said that in his mind salaries and benefits seem to be the biggest problem facing districts today.
Mr. Stone noted that nearly 50 percent of the districts insurance costs are dedicated to retired employees who negotiated contracts that granted them free health insurance for life at a time when as Mr. Brady put it insurance was cheap.
Kimberly Busch, who has children enrolled in Potsdam but teaches in Canton, said while insurance and benefits costs may be high that isnt the teachers fault.
The biggest factor I see isnt the employees benefits. Its the source of funding, she said.
According to Mr. Brady, if the two districts merge the newly created joint district would receive an additional $35,275,563 in aid over a 14- year period, with additional aid allocations of $3,713,217 per year for the first five years, at which aid begins decreasing to the point where in year 15 of the new district,there would no longer be additional incentive aid.
Using projections that do not include the use of any fund balance and assume a 2 percent tax levy increase, Mr. Brady said the merger would benefit residents of both communities through a lower full value tax rate. Beginning with the 2015-2016 year without the use of fund balance and reserves, Canton taxpayers could expect to pay a rate of $23.85 per $1,000 of assessed property value, while Potsdam residents could plan on a rate of $24.90. Taxpayers in a merged district are projected to see a rate of $19.73 per $1,000 of assessed property value.
That rate would gradually increase to $21.25 per $1,000 of assessed property value in the year 2018-2019, at which point the chart ends.
If we had another $35 million option, we would look at that too, he said, noting the merger isnt something either district wanted to be exploring.
If Potsdam and Canton were considered high-needs districts, as both superintendents have said they feel they should be, Mr. Brady said that would result in roughly an additional $1 million in aid for each district.
A lot of the merger process has to do with providing opportunities for students, but it also has to do with dollars and cents, he said.

Name: Tahira Jabeen Razaq
Job title: physiotherapy assistant, East Birmingham Primary Care Trust
Entry route: assistant, after working in business administration
I'd been in office work for ten years when I stopped to have my son. I knew I wanted to go back to something different, working directly with people rather than paper-pushing.
With a view to getting a health profession qualification, I did an access to higher education course. But then due to financial commitments, I could not afford to do a full-time degree. So I started looking at the NHS Careers website and saw opportunities for assistants in some professions where no specific qualifications were required. I fitted the "person spec" for a physiotherapy assistant well, and it was exactly the kind of front-line role I wanted.
I'm a member of the Partners in Health Centre in Birmingham. It's a centre for the management and treatment of long-term conditions such as arthritis, where we work with dietitians and nurses. The physiotherapy triage team provides a wide range of care through individual treatments and group activities. For example, we guide groups of people through exercises and relaxation techniques to help them manage chronic pain. We also teach patients how to use new walking aids, specifying the fittings they may need to get around safely at home, and run injection clinics for pain relief.
My son is five years old now and the NHS offers me enough flexibility to balance my home and work life. There are three physiotherapy assistants and we plan between ourselves to ensure all the clinic times are properly covered.
Soon I'll start a one-year, day-release BTEC course that will qualify me for promotion to technical instructor. My previous business experience hasn't been wasted – I think it has given me a professional, customer-first approach, which helps with this job
