No Retreat, No Surrender

Order, The (2001) IMDB rating: 4.10 Plot: In the year 1099, during the Crusades in the 11th Century, Christian soldiers arrive in Jerusalem and slaughter the local population. Christian soldier Charles Le Vaillant becomes demoralized by the horrors of war and decides to create a new religious order. This new order brings together, in a peaceful manner, members from the three religions of the region: Christians, Jews, and Muslims. As a self-imposed leader and messiah, Charles writes the sacred texts of the Order. The Christian Crusaders accuse Charles of heresy, and attack him and his disciples. During the attack, the last chapter from the sacred texts becomes lost in the desert. Now, in modern-day Israel, a devout contingent of Le Vaillant’s followers continues to practice his peaceful teachings. But a disciple named Cyrus has a distorted view of the Order’s peaceful intention. Rudy Cafmeyer is a thief and smuggler of valuable historical artifacts. Rudy manages to break into a high security building where he steals a Faberge Egg, the kind decorated with precious stones and manufactured expressly for the Russian Tsars. Needless to say, the alarm goes off, and Rudy has to fight his way out of the building. Despite this theft, Rudy is not really a bad guy. He stole the egg from the personal collection of a powerful Russian mafia boss. Rudy is a loving son who would do anything for his father Oscar “Ozzie” Cafmeyer. Ozzie, an archaeologist and museum curator, discovers the manuscripts that were lost during the crusades. The manuscripts clearly extol interfaith harmony. In those manuscripts, there is also an ancient map of Jerusalem, which shows the location of a mythical Jewish treasure. Ozzie travels to Israel, where Cyrus has him kidnapped. Rudy, who heard the kidnapping take place while talking to Ozzie on the phone, travels to Jerusalem to rescue Oscar. Oscar’s associate, Professor Walt Finley, hands Rudy the key to a safe-deposit box in East Jerusalem before being gunned down by unknown assailants. Israeli Police Chief Ben Ner views Rudy’s arrival with hostility and takes steps to have Rudy deported, but police lieutenant Dalia Barr risks her life and career to help Rudy — she was once a disciple of the Order, but she left when she was 18-years-old. Cyrus uses a car bomb to assassinate the Order’s leader, Pierre Gaudet, and Cyrus steps up his own rhetoric, hoping to inflame his followers. Rudy opens the safe-deposit box and finds a map that shows a series of tunnels and a treasure room beneath Jerusalem. Ben Ner, who has partnered with Cyrus, covets the gold that the underground tunnels lead to, but Cyrus hopes to plant a bomb during Ramadan that will turn the Israelis against the Palestinians. Dalia and Rudy must get to the Order’s monastery, free Ozzie, and prevent an explosion that could push tensions in the area way past the boiling point.

Can this cause problems to my playstation 3 AV cord?
ON my PlayStation 3 AV cord (yellow, white, red one) I slowly separated the Yellow (video) from the white and red (audio) in order to connect my audio cables to an alternative audio source aside from the TV. Included I have links to the pictures of the cords and the amount of separation included. I doubt It can cause problems but I’d like your opinion.

im looking for a military waver for arson, 2nd degree burglary, and a sexual assault to join the marine corps.?
long story short, i played with fire and stole things when i was younger, but when i got out of juvenile hall for the burglary, i had sex with this chick, who was "supposed to be a lesbian", any ways so the next morning she wakes up and calls the cops on me, they let me go and say its my word against hers. so that night my friend gets drunk and calls her up and said some stupid shit about kicking her ass and what not, so they arrest me the next morning thinking it was me. so a year goes by before i even get to court and it comes down to ratting my friend out and him going to military prison(mind you he had joined the army and has had a kid by now) or taking a lesser charge from rape down to a sexual assault, so i did what any friend would do, i went down. i got off probation and have been clean since, about 3 years now. i know sealing my record wont help because the government can see anything they like, but i want to do that any ways so that stuff doesn’t come back to haunt me more than it already does. im wondering if there is any way at all no matter how hard it may be for me, to join the marine corps?

Probably not the Marines, nor the Air Force. Those two services tend to be particularly picky because they can be. If you really want to join the military, your best option would be Army, since they are usually the service that falls below recruitment goals the most. Even then, you are looking at three felony convictions, even as a juvenile. And, you face the additional issue that you can’t lie on your application to join, since that it is also a crime and, at the very best, if you are found out to have lied on your papers — particularly for things like these — its a dishonorable discharge.

You can wait until you are after 18, when your record is automatically sealed and even the Army can’t legally look into your record. Consult an attorney to determine how to answer the questions about your past without lying. Make sure that you have several recommendations from community, education and religious leaders ready. Then apply for what you want. As noted by someone else, the worst they can say is no.

don’t even try the marines are dumb its not worth it you would just screw up your life even more
Blank | Nov 11, 2009

Pretty much the answer is "no". The Marines are looking for a few good men, and those things you mentioned won’t get you two minutes with a Corps recruiter or any service for that matter. But, it never hurts to try. The worst they can say is "no".

R4,
Go see your local recruiter. They can help you with anything you need.

Hello "R4"

I am sure that you knew that what you were doing was criminal and wrong. You knew the difference between right and wrong and you did not adhere to the right. You did wrong because you wanted to do wrong.

The military services are right to reject you for enlistment. Not everyone must serve in our Armed Forces. Only the best people who have the cleanest civilian records.

Best wishes in a civilian job for you.

A wiser man once told me nobody has the right to serve in the U.S. Military. Whether it be the Marines, Army, Air Force or any other branch, it’s a privilege to serve with honor & distinction. The Marines will do well to reject you because you’re simply not the quality material that the U.S. Military needs, especially now.

I’m not knocking you down neither. I’m just speaking from a perspective that is from my experience in the Army. I did 2 tours of combat duty, served in over a dozen combat missions & I earned several awards and in the end I look back on my earlier days when I 1st wanted to sign up & I am glad I made the efforts to keep my nose & attitude clean. It does make a difference to do what is right, ethical & moral, even if you’re a kid.

My suggestion to you is to try & keep yourself clean as you get older. Finding jobs will be harder with a record, especially for any felonies. Try trade school or some sort of technical college, it’ll make for a somewhat better life. I don’t think the military will take you with that kind of record. When I 1st started looking at signing up way back when I was 18 I 1st looked into the Navy & then the Marines. I almost went Navy but backed out. I looked into the Marine Corp & one thing is for sure, they don’t want someone who isn’t tip top or close to it. They truly need a few good men & only a few good men work in that branch. I finally hit up the Army office & I found myself going to Basic Training a few weeks later at Ft. Benning. My point is that you aren’t always the right kind of material that the military is looking for. They won’t just take anyone but some recruiters have been lax because recruiting is tougher when wars are waging overseas. Anywho good luck at your endeavors & remember to never give up on what you want, even if you have to change your path some.

I assume you’re wanting to join the Somalia Marine Corps.
You have no chance with the United States Marine Corps. They’re looking for a FEW GOOD men.
Nvr2soon | Nov 11, 2009

will NEVER happen.. one you need 3 waivers..Marines never waive more than 2.. and sexual assualt>> WILL NOT HAPPEN. ever.

choose another path. you will not be serving in ANY Branch of the US military.

Honestly probably not…..we aren’t hurting for numbers right now so we get to pick the best of the best…..sry not everyone can be a Marine….try the Army.

You dont deserve to serve with our military, especially the Marines.

Please don’t join. I have enough guys with recordings trying to become Marines. I don’t need an robbing, sexual deviant/arsonist watching my back.

You are not Marine Corps material son, in fact, the Army wouldn’t even waste their time on you.
Jellybelly | Nov 12, 2009

No, you don’t belong in the service. Sorry. The Marine Corps is very prestigious, will not take scum.

Good luck in finding a good civilian job.

German shepherd has started to become afraid of strangers how do i fix it?
My new german shepherd i got about 2 weeks ago has just turned 6 months old. He is of good breed his father is a k9 unit from czlevakia (please ascuse spelling) and he started out as the confident, curious and protective GSD people look for. But recenlty he has been wary of strangers and after i greet them backs away when they attempt to pet him and wont come when they stand next to me.

Is there any socializing techniques to solve this problem? or is it too late?

---

4-6 months is when the happy-go-lucky stage gives way to adolescence, when a pup may begin to view the world with more suspicion . Things as simple as a trash bin on the street, which may have had no effect before, are suddenly cause for suspicion and careful approach. This can be the make-or-break period for some dogs with an ‘edge’, to see which way the temperament will go.

Contrary to other remarks here, it’s genetic & has nothing to do with prior socialization/rearing mistakes (neglect/abuse aside). Particularly with working lines (and Czech dogs are well known for being ‘civil’ or ’sharp’), you’re dealing with a higher level of genetic suspicion and aggression than most show or ‘pet’ lines. Both are desired traits in working dogs, . HOWEVER they must be accompanied by strong , stable nerves/social confidence. Without it, suspicion and aggression become a liability rather than an asset.

This is the dilemma when breeding dogs for protection work, as even the most solid, accomplished dogs can produce offspring that ‘fall short’. Pups that fall short in suspicion/ aggression can still make excellent, social companion/pet dogs. Those that fall short in nerve strength/confidence rarely do.

Yes, you can absolutely attempt more socialization at this time. Letting them have ’success’ with that bad old trash bin, to continue acclimating to environmental stimuli, strangers, dogs, etc, is still quite achievable. But it must be done from a ‘neutral’ perspective. Meaning, you should ask strangers to act as if your pup isn’t even there, totally ignoring him until HE initiates contact. It’s just as important to practice good obedience and read his cues in every situation. Never push a dog through an uncomfortable situation, it only makes him more fearful.

Realize that dogs such as this have limitations and shouldn’t be expected to be super stranger friendly/social. But many of them can be neutral and obedient.

It would be wise to have your breeder or a local trainer/schutzhund club help you assess his temperament and bring him along. If he started out as confident & curious, he should have enough balance to work with. A responsible breeder will not want you to keep a dog that may be truly unstable/dangerous, and will offer you a replacement.
I wish you the best of luck with your pup!

Pups go through two fear stages in their development.
The second one can start around the age of 6 months.
http://www.diamondsintheruff.com/Develop mentalStages.html

I would take the dog to a trainer. Socialization is vitally important with German Shepherd and any bad experiences during this phase can have a lasting affect on future behavior.

I would also suggest checking out this forum. It is a wealth of knowledge from people very experienced with the breed.

Why should we "ascuse" your spelling? - YahooAnswers provides a permanently-on spell-checker that places a red line under everything that doesn’t fit what is in its lexicion.
Also learn that a German shepherd is a person. My breed’s real name translates exactly as German Shepherd Dog - 3 words, so 3 capital letters and GSD for short, not "Gs".

The main socialising period ends as the 12th week ends, which is why pups SHOULD change homes at 7-9 weeks old. Provided the pup has had time (and reason!) to trust its owner, socialisation can extend through 16 weeks old.

I’m guessing that there is something wrong in the way you (as a household, not necessarily you personally - but it COULD be you yourself) are treating your new pet.
Properly bred-&-reared GSDs do NOT go through "fear periods". But from 13 through 16 weeks all except the best dogs go through a "need security period", and bitches from certain bloodlines become fearful at about 11 months old - decades ago I had one who decided that the plastic-rubbish-bags-on-poles placed in shopping areas were a menace to be avoided.

Focus on PRAISING-&-REWARDING everything good he does, and basically ignoring anything bad (Czech lines have a bad reputation for being touch insensitive, which means that he might not acknowledge light rubs - but he’s YOUR dog now and it is over to you to find out what he likes, what he dislikes). When walking him on-lead, forget about Heel - let him have the whole length of the leash so long as he is walking in the direction you want to go and there are no children or dogs or rubbish from which you need to haul him back to heel.

Dogs are NOT like a bike or car that you get the same response from on the first day as you do after 3 years of practise. When a dog obeys it is because it WANTS to obey, to get a reward - whether that be a physical reward you supply or the emotional self-reward of knowing that it is pleasing its pack-leader. So step one is to convince your dog that you ARE a trustworthy pack-leader.

Book yourself into a training club’s classes that start 2-4 weeks from now. Those extra weeks should be long enough for you to gain his trust & affection. In the class YOU will be coached to improve your use of "the voices", body language, balance & timing, rewards & reprimands. And at the same time the dog learns to pay attention regardless of what other dogs & people are doing.

Realise that you do NOT need your dog to like everyone (do YOU like EVERYone?), let alone to allow them to touch him (do YOU allow everyone to touch YOU?). But you DO need him to accept your opinion/authority as to whether people are allowed onto your property. And he won’t do that until he TRUSTS you. How long would it take YOU to trust your captors, if YOU had been kidnapped by strangers who, although they SEEM to like you & to care for you, are nevertheless your kidnappers?

To ask GSD questions, join some of the 400+ YahooGroups dedicated to aspects of living with GSDs. Each group’s Home page tells you which aspects they like to talk about, and how active they are.
