Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I was looking at all the right places for my first career after I graduate. I plan on obtaining an entry level counseling position working with people who are disabled(no specific age) or research assistant related to the same population. I am looking in the northern Virginia area. I have already looked at:
criagslist (nonprofit and health sectors)
loudon county's offical website
nova's mental health institute
Virginia's government website
department of behavior health and sciences

am i missing anywhere else employers would be posting these entries? Thanks in advanced.

Okay, I said I wasn't going to talk about Sarah Palin, and I'm not. But I can't resist linking to some of Wonkette's coverage of her various press maneuvering today. Right now they're live-blogging her Oprah appearance in the blog's typical surreal humor style. To give you a flavor for it, from the post on the National Review's 'Going Rogue'-centered blog:

An editor, when asked if he's going to liveblog the Oprah appearance: "[ugh] when is the oprah program on?"
Commenter: "When you took this job, you knew there would be days like these. I feel bad for you, but all this prestige and glamor has a price."
Editor: "I had no idea days would be like this when I took this job. I was naive, not expecting something like Sarah Palin to manifest itself. People who take jobs writing about politics today will find themselves, in two years, liveblogging an actual rabid cheetah (GOP candidate for president) plugging its book on the Sarah Palin Show."
Other commenter: "And the most accepted form of political discourse will be in the form of biting each other on the back of the leg. All national issues will be solved in this way."
Another commenter: "No shit, right? The GOP is killing the snark by becoming a caricature of a caricature! It’s like we don’t even have to do anything and it’s still funny. And by funny, I mean like when a clown slits his wrists."

ETA: Unrelatedly, quoth pundit Mark Shields on 'Washington Week': "And I think it makes me nostalgic for those days when we had a manly man in the White House who could say, “Let’s kick some tail and ask questions afterwards” you know? That’s what we really need instead of any reflection."

Dear political leadership of all stripes: the function of the nation's military is not actually to shore up your insecurities about your own manhood through the irresponsible exercise of indiscriminate power so you can experience it vicariously. I know! *Shocking.* Ugh, this is all giving me 2003 flashbacks.

Parts 1 & 2 here @ my LJ char_cohen

From an article titled "God, the Army, and PTSD," which argues that religion has harmed veterans' psychological treatment:

"Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy Michael McLendon an intensely focused man in a neatly pressed suit, kept a Bible on his desk at the office. Sullivan explained to McLendon and the other attendees that the rise in benefits claims the VA was noticing was caused partly by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who were suffering from PTSD. 'That’s too many,' McLendon said, then hit his hand on the table. 'They are too young' to be filing claims, and they are doing it 'too soon.' He hit the table again. The claims, he said, are 'costing us too much money,' and if the veterans 'believed in God and country...they would not come home with PTSD.'

... "For Sullivan, McLendon’s remarks reflected the views of many political appointees in the VA and revealed what was behind their efforts to reduce costs by restricting claims. The backlog of claims was immense, and veterans, often suffering extreme psychological stress, had to wait an average of five months for decisions on their requests.

"When I asked him years later about the meeting, McLendon laughed. Then his face darkened in anger. 'Anybody who knows me knows I wouldn’t talk that way.'

"Nevertheless, McLendon was open about the skepticism he felt toward the diagnosis of PTSD, calling it 'a made-up term,' which has 'taken on a life of its own.' As he spoke about the diagnosis, he pounded the table with the side of his hand more than ten times, hitting it so hard that the wooden surface shook. 'Do I think they have a mental illness and should be stigmatized for the rest of their life?' he asked. 'What gives a psychiatrist the right to do that?'"

Somehow, I can still be surprised by this kind of shit. Despite his denials, I tend to believe the quote above really did come from him - it's of a piece with the "Prosperity Gospel" school of Christianity, which holds that the people God favors are wealthy and successful on Earth, and that those who are poor or sick are that way because of their own sins. (Which, even as lapsed as I am, strikes me as a horrifying twisting of Christian doctrine for reasons of self-delusion, but, anyway.)

ANYWAY. Tonight I will either check out some fandom comms for mock-worthy commentary or finish switching out my icons, whichever I turn out to be in the mood for.

‘Murder’ Deleted Scene from ‘The Office’ and Angela Kinsey gets Glam

It's two NBC videos, but I know some people can't access that site so there is also a link to the EW site (if you can access that) with the same Angela Kinsey video. I think Kinsey is hilarious, and I really wish that deleted scene had made the cut. But 'Murder' was such a strong episode as it was I can't imagine what they could have cut out!

I've been thinking a lot lately about the way Ryan's character has changed, particularly the way he's been painted this season, so naturally, I wrote up a detailed explanation of how I view him within the context of his hipster artist persona. There's a lot of conjecture and references to the way his photography relates to artistic canon, but I'd really love to hear what other people have to say, whether that's "OMG YOU'RE READING WAY TOO MUCH INTO THIS~" or just your thoughts on his character.



Cap by potthead.

Spoilers for all seasons.

I would love your help! thanks in advance!

CHAT POST


I figured since this is our first Sunday night without Mad Men in our lives I'd make a post for y'all to mingle in to help with that empty feeling.

Talk about anything. It can be Mad Men related or not. You can discuss your favorite characters, who you have a crush on in the show, or post photos or gifs. Post your Twitters or Tumblrs, add friends, talk about The Prisoner or football, I don't care as long as you're respectful. Have fun.

Anyone have a good Point-and-Shoot camera that they love and takes good quality pictures?
I was looking at the Nikon Coolpix s230, but there are a lot of mixed reviews online when it comes to picture quality.
Anybody have suggestions? Thoughts?

Click on the camera to go to the Amazon page for more specs on the camera.

This is really crappy quality (digital cam shot of my TV), but I couldn't find it online anywhere!

Greg Behrendt's wife, Amira, changed her "Free Pass" to John K. And then this happened. :)

The second part cuts out before the end. Thanks DVR.

EDIT: thank you for your opinions, I thought it could be a interesting issue to discuss. :)

Does anyone know if Michael Gladis is going to be on The new prisoner? On his imdb it's on his credits. and he did show up for the screening of the new prisoner. If so,is anyone going to watch it? I know that I"m a huge prisoner fan.

Fred's "I like Peggy" was cute.
Also taking a drink every time a character takes a drink sounds like an awesome game.
