Finished 2 more Vanek jerseys for my collection last week and to be honest, I've just been plain lazy to post some shots of them. I'll slap some pics up tonight. One is a slug (Used to be Rivet CCM 550, turned RBK) and you can still see some shades of the old 52's, but that should wash out with time. The other would be the 3rd/retro from the 06/07 era, turned into RBK/CCM hybrid.

Terry Pegula should hire me to do jersey/uniform work.

In doing research for microbiology my roommate found out that the University of Pennsylvania did a clinical study on a man with dire leukemia for whom chemotherapy was doing nothing (actually they did this study with three people, but he was the main example used). They took out about a billion of his T cells, modified them to recognize and attack the cancer cells, and put them back into his body. A week later, he was in the ICU with a severe fever because his body was fighting it, and two weeks after that, the leukemia was entirely gone. He's fine today, along with the other patients in the trial. At this point they've been in remission for a year. That is... pretty cool.

My ex has finally gone full on batshit crazy to the point where I have to cut her out of my life completely. It's both depressing and a huge relief all at the same time.

It would mean going for another undergrad degree, but psych nursing is extremely appealing right now. A number of nursing schools are pretty inexpensive meaning I'd be acquiring minimum additional debt, I'd get to work with inpatients on a ward (the only nurse thing I'd do is hand out meds; other than that, it's a matter of just talking with them and facilitating acceptance/recovery) without obtaining a doctorate which is what I'd need to do to get the same level of interaction via the psychology field, salaries start around $50,000 and peak around $80,000 which is a good $30,000 more than I'd be making on both ends of my career with a bachelor's in psych (well, actually BS salaries typically start around $18,000 with the ceiling for most doctorate-level careers around $50,000), and I could get my debt paid off in 5-8 years while still living comfortably and not severely limiting where I can live.

Plus my roommate and I could get our BSNs together, helping each other study. lol. And I've already taken some of the science classes required for a degree, which I could likely transfer since I definitely got higher than a D in them... and since I can take whatever classes I want next semester, I could load up on some more and essentially be able to get my BSN in about three years instead of four.

I'd be far better at simply interacting with patients and gaining their trust than working with them via clinical counseling/learned formulas, anyway.

NHL 12 is fucking bullshit. I guess Kippersoff can stop anything that comes at him, but my goalie has 2 ice level shots go in. Then, when I'm beating them by 20 shots, it goes into OT and a shootout and I lose because my goalie sucks and Kipper can dive and glove anything. Wtf. 3 times that has happened, where their goalie is just amazing and mine sucks ass.

Meh, she wasn't insulting Ryan Dunn, she was insulting Steve-0. There's no boundaries at a roast, Steve-0 was most likely prepared for some sort of Dunn joke.

no so much, apparently steve-o was not happy about it, and nearly broke down.

Steve-0 insulted a fire house where 100 people died. He's not the one to say anything, as much as I love Steve-0.
