PLEASE do not post any replies to this topic until I give the OK. I'm going to reserve a few spots for future information. 
Here are some great resources for if you're ever in a bind and need a little extra.
These are all for US organizations, if someone knows the ones for Canada or other countries please PM me and I'll add them to this post. Same thing if there is something in particular you're looking for but can't find it, send me a PM and I'll do my best to help.
I will try to add to this on a regular basis and try to make it as organized as possible so when/if you need it you can find it.
