I try to be a reasonable person, I really do. I have come here to discuss the TSA, not to be alarmist about it. The TSA gets slammed in the media enough. After all, how many other government agencies find themselves having to fend off earnest accusations of flying reconnaissance drones over football games?
And so in this installment of my ongoing quest to clear my email inbox by the end of January, I will be giving equal blog space to different sides of the "to-despise TSA because it will one day ruin Disney World and America's future childhood memories, or not to-despise TSA because it will one day ruin Disney World and America's future childhood memories" question.
Our first letter comes from Ginny, an anonymous current screener, whom you may remember from Hate Mail Part 2.
Ginny writes back:
I guess 'asshole' is just an easy thing to call a person, however I do apologize for using such language. Behind Anonymity it's easy to forget your manners. So once again, I do apologize for using such a harsh word.
To be honest, the thing that irks me the most about this all is the fact that people are now taking everything you do and say as fact despite there being hundreds of airports out there where these things don't happen. Even though you're anonymous for the most part, you're still giving the other thousands of workers an even worse name. That is basically my main issue as I so 'eloquently' stated in my first email. For the most part, the blog just seems to be a bash on the TSA with nothing to show that there are hard-working TSOs out there doing a job that they believe is needed and actually provide security to the flying public. However, things such as pay and a poor hiring process along with a horrible system of part-time workers causes the TSA to retain terrible screeners and force screeners who actually want to work out as a TSO position is just not economically viable for many months after taking the job…
Dear Ginny,
Good to hear from you again. I appreciate the implicit acknowledgement from a current screener that the things I write about on this blog do happen at some airports, which is of course more than the TSA is able to officially acknowledge. Sorry I cut your email off about halfway through, but you were encroaching upon a child's warm memory of Disney World and the TSA.
Our next email comes from someone who was going to have an entire post dedicated to him or her, until Ginny came along again, complaining about how I portray the TSA, thereby ruining everything.

Hello there.
I just happened to stumble across this blog, and wanted to share with you my first experience with the TSA.
In 2003, my father won a trip to Disney World for the whole family. I was about 6 years old, and was really excited to be spending the 4th of July with Mickey and Cinderella. So we went to JFK, and since I was a little kid, told the TSA agent about how I was going to Disney. She then told me to tell Mickey hello for her.
With how the world is today, I just wanted to let others know that the TSA was kind to a little kid excited to be going to Disney for the first time.
Dear Anon,
How does it feel that, 10 years later, another TSA employee came along and forced you to surrender your very own blog post?
And to wrap it all up, with the final word on whether or not the TSA is going to ruin Disney World for America, is Aaron, who writes in:
Hi there…
What's your take on this?
I don't like the looks of it, personally. My questions are 1.Will we be stopped for inspection any time we leave the house? 2.Will they want an "Enhanced VIPR" through which they can enter our houses and test us at any time? 3. Where does it end? And 4. How does it fit into the "Transportation" aspect of TSA?
Dear Aaron,
1. You will only be stopped on a random basis when leaving the house by 2020.
2. Yes.
3. Not Disney World, I'll tell you that.
4. Amusement park rides and running backs are sort of transportation-ish. They'll make it fit.

If you have faith in the concept of innovation within the business world then Talk Fusion CEO Bob Reina should definitely be on your radar. Reina established Talk Fusion, a video marketing firm, back in 2007 after finding no such competition in the marketplace. Reina foresaw that video marketing would be integral to success in the modern age of the internet. Outside of Talk Fusion we have seen Reina consistently share his expertise as a guest writer for the Huffington Post. Reina's written for the famous news website for the past two years and now he's one of the first writers on their rebranded platform: HuffPost.
With a contentious political season behind them the Huffington Post decided to change their tune with a new branding effort. The Huffington Post wanted to become a voice for the disenfranchised and for those that they feel are being neglected. To commemorate this change in attitude the Huffington Post decided to change their name. Reina has been contributing to the HuffPost brand since 2016 and he was one of the first writers to release content under the new name change. Right now you can see Reina's newest content live on the website under the titles: "Promoting with Purpose: How to Understand Your Audience" as well as "How to Thrive in a Society of Quitters."
If you had to guess how Reina reacted to the HuffPost brand change then you would probably say 'with excitement'. And it's true. Reina is a firm believer in the constant art of innovation and evolution. In fact, Reina believes that a brand should always be evolving and innovating in order to stay competitive in the market place. Makes sense, right? Reina said this about HuffPost and their new launch, "I'm very pleased to see that this trending platform took a step back to hone in on things that matter, such as culture and fulfillment, wit the relaunch of their brand."
Outside of his work as an entrepreneur Bob Reina is a prolific philanthropist. Reina has given to natural disaster relief funds, under-staffed orphanages, and the Humane Society of Tampa Bay among other things.

Washington state's pioneering Gordon Brothers are back after some years of struggle, now offering some good wines entirely from estate vineyards.
By Paul Gregutt
Special to the Seattle Times
WHEN YOU REACH a certain age, you suddenly realize you can't go back and make any more old friends. Old friends have been there all along; they don't pop up late in life. They started out on the road with all the people who have since faded from memory or disappeared from your world; but they are the ones who, time-tested, remain.
It's like that in the wine industry also.
Gordon Brothers winery dates back to 1980, when Jeff and Bill Gordon planted their estate vineyard atop a spectacular bluff overlooking the Snake River, a few miles north of Pasco. The Washington wine industry was barely begun; existing wineries numbered fewer than a dozen, many of them now extinct.

When skies go dark like murky waters, and lands shrivel dry like the moonscapes of Phobos or Deimos, one stumbles upon the repression of the Divine Mother Goddess. For hundreds of years, Patriarch religions have trampled their way to the top by disempowering the Female Archetype. This piece is a symbolical demonstration of religious abuse, vampirism, concealment and the attempt to annihilate the essence of Goddess worship from humanity and spirituality. It is a visionary peek into the horrid manifestations of the church, it's state of being devoid from transcendence and the forces at hand attempting to drain and repress the Goddess. This work of motion art presents to you the symbolic dark truths of our current religious state, uncensored.

The supermodel-turned-actress Cara Delevingne is teaming up with Orlando Bloom to star as a fairy in a fantasy drama series.
CARNIVAL ROW will feature mythical creatures who have fled their war-torn homeland and gathered in the city as tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population. At the center of the drama is the investigation into a string of unsolved murders, which are eating away at whatever uneasy peace still exists. DELEVINGNE will play Vignette Stonemoss, a faerish refugee who flees her war-torn homeland to come to the Burgue. There, she must contend not only with rampant human prejudice against her kind but with the secrets that have followed her to this new land.
The project is set to begin filming this fall for a 2019 release on the streamer.

WHO We Are
The Blackstone Institute is a unique, cutting-edge, exciting educational adventure committed to declaring and defending the Judeo-Christian worldview of law – engaging in "constitutional and jurisprudential apologetics." We are an educational enterprise designed to inform and inspire its students and clients, with teaching as our tool and words as our weapons in the climactic cultural engagement popularly referred to as America's "Culture War." Biblical truths (e.g., The Ten Commandments) are the heart of our teaching. This articulation and application of the Judeo-Christian worldview of law were epitomized in the works of the great Eighteenth Century British jurist, Sir William Blackstone, whose legal philosophy dominated both English and American law until well into the Twentieth Century. Our work also reflects the influence of great Christian worldview/presuppositional apologetics scholars such as Francis Schaeffer. Working with others of like mind, the Institute functions within the framework set forth in 1 Peter 3:15-16.
Blackstone is a teaching endeavor committed to promoting and pursuing research and teaching focused on constitutional theory/history, legal philosophy/history, and law-related theology, philosophy, and public policy/cultural issues – and their interrelationships. We also give attention to the classical liberal arts, which are necessary to understanding the Constitution and "the law" – and yet are typically excluded from "legal and constitutional studies." Our teaching, therefore, is clearly interdisciplinary. We research, create, and teach both in-the-box and out-of-the-box, always dedicated to functioning in accordance with the highest standards of scholarship.
WHOM We Teach
Blackstone believes that "academics without action are dead; action without academics is deadly." The two must be wedded in the proper manner. Therefore, we teach groups ranging from high school students to legal professionals. We tailor our teaching to our audiences' interests, backgrounds, and needs, constantly demonstrating that many of the same truths can be understood by a high school freshman and a federal judge – though, obviously, at a different level and from a different perspective.
A general classification of our clients could include the following groups: (1) high school students; (2) college students (undergraduate and also graduate, although the latter might fall into category #3); (3) graduates/post-graduates/professionals (e.g., academicians, other educators, pastors/theologians, lawyers/judges, non-judicial civic officials, etc.); (4) leaders and laymen (interest group activists, political party leaders, church lay leaders, etc.).
WHAT We Teach
Blackstone's constitutional and jurisprudential apologetics employ landmark court decisions (e.g., Roe v. Wade and Lawrence v. Texas) as keys, sometimes as portals, in analyzing and evaluating the "fundamental facts" and "primary policy" areas most critical to America's war of the worldviews. Decisions are understood as both reflecting, and influencing, the worldviews in which they are rooted.
The fundamental facts are:
- America is engulfed in the all-consuming flames of a Culture War from which no one and no area of American life can escape.
- The Culture War is between two irreconcilable enemies – the Judeo-Christian worldview and the Humanist worldview.
- Humanistic courts have captured the Constitution and morphed it into a weapon against our culture, making the courts and Constitution a white-hot front in the Culture War.
- Americans who support the Judeo-Christian worldview can and must be equipped, trained, and motivated to fight for our Constitution, our courts, and our culture.
The primary policy areas are:
- Protecting religious liberty, especially of persecuted Christian believers;
- Promoting the sanctity of human life;
- Advancing the Biblical concept of marriage/family and opposing homosexual activism;
- Supporting the rights of creationism in the battle with evolutionism.
- Blackstone's teaching includes signature programs of studies and action events led by the "Blackstone Blitzes," Constitution College," and "Truth Triathlon Team." Most of our work can also be studied individually – one study at a time and by an individual or group.
WHY We Teach
Our research and teaching are committed to:
- offer students a detailed analysis of the content of the Constitution and the concepts it embodies;
- articulate for students a clear explanation of the Culture War, including the issues which fuel it and the opposing forces engaged in the battle;
- explain the role of the courts in using the Constitution as a weapon to morph our Judeo-Christian America into a Humanistic America;
- expose students to a unique understanding of American legal and constitutional history set against the backdrop of English and European legal and constitutional history;
- examine with students portions of law-related disciplines (the classical liberal arts, theology, philosophy, etc.) without which "the law" cannot be adequately understood;
- provide students with the tools Constitutionalists can and must use to revive the Constitution and to provide opportunities for using these tools;
- help students develop critical thinking skills and understand how to defend Constitutionalist theory and the Judeo-Christian worldview;
- advance students' skills in verbally expressing Constitutionalist and Judeo-Christian principles, and especially to do so orally, "thinking on their feet";
- motivate Constitutionalists, and teach them how, to become active participants in the Culture War, fighting for our Constitution, our courts, and our culture
HOW We Teach
Blackstone's program of existing, and new, studies and action events are committed to being : (1) comprehensive – covering the variety of disciplines (theology, philosophy, etc,) which are relevant to law; (2 ) cohesive – organized and presented so that the interrelationships of various areas of law and law-related thought and the culture are emphasized; (3) congruent – consistent with the real world of cultural engagement, where we must mount both a defense of the Judeo-Christian position and an offense against our opponents. Blackstone's constitutional and jurisprudential apologetics teaches both offensive and defensive capabilities. Blackstone's programs are flexible as to length and complexity so that they may be adapted to a wide range of audiences and situations. We seek to utilize every media available – from traditional to cutting-edge technology:

Quick Knot – or not?
A few months back a company contacted me by email to ask if I would write about their product. I told them the same thing I would tell any company in the same position – if you want to send on a product I will happily give a full and honest review but my opinion is not for sale and I cannot guarantee a positive review. The company were happy with this and sent on a product for me to try out. In turned out the product was Quick Knot – a product I had seen videos about online and was keen to buy and try anyway. In addition to not selling my opinion I also don't believe in giving anything a half assed trial so this product has been tested on five different horses in the last four months. The results are below.
Competition nerves and Winning Against Worrying
My anxiety around competition was never really just about competition. It was a fear of the unknown, of lack of control, of new things. It started when I was a small child and if I was anxious about something I would feel sick and nervous. Things like exams, trying new things, bus trips. Over time it got worse and I was anxious before things I was actually looking forward to. The anxiety in turn caused illness as I have a sensitive stomach anyway so it got to the point that I was anxious of being anxious. I missed a lot of things because of it – sleep overs, the first day of pony camp, scouting trips. I was afraid to look forward to anything. My poor mother was tormented by it and had the patience of a saint at times especially when it came to high stress events such as the leaving cert (which I did on three Valium and about seven packs of polo mints a day). I managed miraculously to compete on horses as a teenager and adult. It was hard going – I used to meditate on the way over to try and calm myself down (yeah I was the odd ball), couldn't eat and would be white as a sheet before a competition and exhausted afterwards.
Making A Show Of Yourself Part 3 – Class Format
Format of a ridden flat class
All riders enter on right rein in walk. Steward will instruct to trot on and canter on in a group. Steward will ask to come back to trot and change the rein. Steward will ask for canter on other rein and steward will invite to extend canter / gallop down long side.
Return to walk and steward will call horses in to stand in line.
Making a Show of Yourself Part 2 – Tack & Turnout
Rider Turnout
Aim to look professional, tidy and workmanlike.
Footwear – Adults long leather boots. (leather short boots and gaiters may be permitted, check rules of class). Adults cannot show in short boots only. Children under 12, short boots with jod clips. Children over 12, as per adults. Have your groom wipe your boots before you go in!
Making A Show Of Yourself – Part 1 – Types of ridden showing classes
This series is based on a guide I drew up a few years ago ahead of a clinic I delivered to novice adults and children. There are a wealth of showing experts out there and I will not pretend to know as much nor more than any of them. This guide is not intended for experts, it is intended to give showing novices (and parents!) some sound and basic advice on how to understand what ridden showing is, what the different ridden classes are and what their horses and ponies might be eligible for. I have been showing as an amateur for years and really enjoy it but will admit when I first started, especially when showing Connemaras, I didn't really know what was right or expected so I needed and sought expert advice. Given how often I hear people asking what is allowed, what type their horse is and how to get started at showing, I believe this document might provide some help to anyone looking to go showing for the first time. I have also tried to include tips and tricks I learned along the way. This chapter looks at the different types of classes and horses. The next chapters to follow will cover class formats, turnout and a guide for grooms.
2015 – Show Horse to Dressage Horse
In 2013 and 2014, Dolly the big chestnut mare and I focused on and achieved many goals in the show ring. We had not achieved what I hoped we could in dressage and given my passion for dressage this always frustrated me. I had performed well on ponies before but Dolly and I always fell somewhere short of the mark in competition. In a class of seven we were usually fifth or sixth in our advanced intermediate grade and with this consistent mediocrity I was afraid I was becoming one of those people who bang on about 'potential' for years without ever delivering any actual!
Getting Into the Heart of Side Saddle
Felicity and I were meant to be together. I first met her on the side of a road when I collected her and another saddle off her owner to bring her to be used on a horse at a side saddle camp a friend had organised. I knew sweet FA about side saddles at the time but loved the look of her as she was a dark leather in contrast to the other doe skin saddles.
To Compete, Perchance to Win. Ladies Side Saddle Returns to the 2014 RDS Dublin Horse show
When the ladies side saddle class returned to the show ring in the 2014 RDS Dublin Horseshow it was not filled with professional riders on professional show horses. Instead the ring was filled with a variety of horses and riders that served as a beautiful demonstration of versatility. The majority of these riders were not professionals and each one had earned their right to be there by competing successfully at one of the four qualifiers held earlier in the year. The class included show horses, hunters, ex race horses and all-rounders. Likewise the riders themselves hailed from different backgrounds and disciplines from hunting to point to pointing.
Side Saddle Makeup Unveiled
When some of the side saddle ladies including Ciara my side saddle friend and mentor recently declared that lipstick for side saddle showing should not be red, I was relieved. I have nothing against red lipstick but it simply doesn't suit me. I either end up looking like a child in their parents make up or a lady that should be on a street corner somewhere. I won't profess to know a whole lot about side saddle but thanks to being a complete makeup junkie I know a bit more about make up. After a chat with Ciara on what make up we should be wearing while riding aside I was able to pick out what exactly I need from my makeup stash.
The good:
Neutral shades, matte textures, weatherproof and smudge proof make up.
The bad:
Frost/shimmery eye shadows, bright red lipstick, orange foundation or bronzer, clown blusher
The ugly:
Bright shades of eye shadow, glitter (let's be clear, no one 100 years ago had glitter on their face while on a horse), tide lines, panda eyes.

The Oregon Institute of Technology's newest specialty program in Wilsonville aims to fill an emerging knowledge gap in Oregon and across the country.
Optoelectronics is the fusion of optics -- the study of light -- and electronics, and its applications in a number of high-tech industries are growing.
More than 90 Oregon companies now hire engineers to incorporate lasers, camera lenses, LEDs and other optical devices into products ranging from consumer electronics to military technology, according to Cristina Crespo, the chair of Oregon Tech's renewable energy and electrical engineering department.
Two such companies are located next door to the Wilsonville campus: Flir, which specializes in infrared technology, and Rockwell Collins, an aviation electronics company.
In all, about 230 students in the U.S. graduate with the necessary skills, even though more than 1,200 are needed each year, according to the university. In Oregon, these companies often must recruit engineers from out of state, Crespo said.
"It's been a continually underserved knowledge area," said Scott Prahl, optoelectronics program director.
Last fall, as Oregon Tech consolidated its four Portland-area sites into the former InFocus building in Wilsonville, Prahl sought to resurrect the optics program the university discontinued about a decade ago at its Klamath Falls campus.
Prahl, a former researcher at the now-defunct Oregon Medical Laser Center, spent three months developing a curriculum and putting together a new laboratory space complete with special work tables supported by compressed air that keep sensitive equipment stable during experiments.
In the past, it was very expensive to teach optics, Prahl said. But now the equipment is much cheaper. "You can get a laser pointer for $10, when it used to cost $1,000," he said.
For students pursuing an electrical engineering degree, Prahl said his six-class program provides a hands-on introduction to light detectors, lenses, lasers, fiber optics and wave interference -- the bare essentials for students looking to get a job in the field.
"When you land a job and they say you need to know what chromatic aberration is, you will actually know," Prahl said.
The University of Oregon and Oregon State offer some instruction in the optics, but not to the extent of Oregon Tech's program, Prahl said.
For neighboring Flir and Rockwell Collins, as well as nearby laser supplier Coherent Inc., the new program offers a chance for Wilsonville companies to collaborate with the university and find interns and employees, Prahl said.
"I'm impressed with the program," said Terry Outcalt, Flir's general manager. "A lot of people coming out of college are used to digital, but optics is still kind of an analog world that needs specialized training."
Prahl taught five students last quarter and is currently teaching another group of five. He hopes that number will increase going forward.
"Because the program is so new, those students didn't come here with the program in mind," he said. "But the sessions we've had were just great."

Akkineni Nagarjuna is a busy man these days. His prestigious project Manam, is up for release this Friday, and special premieres have been planned all over. We caught up with Nagarjuna for a detailed interview today and let's see what he has to say.
Q) How did this project kick start ?
A) As you know, I always wanted to make a film spanning all three generations. Even though I had the idea, I was not liking the scripts that were coming up. Then one fine day, our family friend Sudhakar Reddy(Nithin's dad) called me up and asked me to hear the script. I heard the narration and liked the line immensely. I told Vikram to prove himself before getting on to this project. He showed me Ishq even before its release, and once I watched the film, I immediately okayed Vikram. We then sent Vikram to my dad, and with a few suggestions of his, the project got materialized.
Q) The visuals in Manam look rich. Tell us something about them ?
A) Initially, I wanted the best cameraman for this project. So, I approached P C Sreeram. As he was busy with some other project we had to let go of him. Then P S Vinod was brought on board, and a lot of work went on as to how the film should look. As the film spanned from 1920 till date, the cameraman was the key point. After a lot of homework, we went ahead and shot this film, and the result is for you all to see.
Q) Tell us about the commercial aspects of this film ?
A) To be frank, I never thought Manam as a commercial film. I just went ahead with my gut feeling and in my entire career, whenever I did a film without much any calculations, those films have always worked, and Manam falls in the same category.
Q) How did you choose the title Manam ?
A) It was dad who choose the title. Initially, Vikram wanted to have a Hindi title Hum, but we went against it and suggested Manam. This was a apt title for our film, and as our three generations were coming together for the first time, the title suited the film even better.
Q) Is this film inspired from any incident or any other film ?
A) No ! this film is a entirely true creation from Vikram, and as there is no reincarnation angle also in the film.
Q) Tell us about ANR's role in the film ?
A) He plays an important role, and enters the film during the interval time. From there on, he stays till the end of the film, and other characters keep coming and going into the film.
Q) What was the reason for Amitabh Bachchan's cameo in the film ?
A) Dad was a huge admirer of Big B's work. So we thought that it would be a fitting finale for dad, by roping in Amitji. Once I narrated the cameo to Amitji, he immediately said that, It is his honor to be in the last film of ANR.
Q) There is also news that Akhil also did a cameo in the film. Tell us something about it.
A) Akshil's cameo is just a speculation. He was on the sets during the last day of the shoot, and so were all my family members.
Q) Why did you opt out of a audio release ?
A) The time and situation was not right for a audio release. It was tough and emotional time for us, and we did not want to do things for the heck of it. We were emotionally drained, and so we decided to let go of the audio release.
Q) The producer credits comes in as Akkineni Kutumbam. What was the thought behind that ?
A) During the last two months of my dad's life, we came very close together as a family. It was mainly because of dad, as he imposed all these qualities in us. From now on, any further film made by Annapurna studios will have the producers name as Akkineni family.
Q) How has Chaitanya performed amidst seasoned actors like you and ANR garu ?
A) Chaitanya has done an exceptional job in the film. The way Vikram has molded him is brilliant. He has grown as an actor with this film, and will impress every one.
Q) Tell us about the premiere of the film ?
A) We have planned a huge premiere on the 22nd of this month. The entire media, ANR fans and a lot of industry insiders will attend this event.
Q) Tell us about your future films ?
A) My film with Mani Ratnam has been shelved for now. And I will be doing a film with NTR soon.
Q) How is your new game show Meelo Evaru Koteswarudu shaping up ?
A) We will soon start shooting of the first episode by this month end. I am very excited about the project, and would love to see the lives of people change during my show.

Why you should be using an Invoice Generator
Every business out there needs an invoice generator to generate invoices at some point in time. Many send out hundreds of invoices a day.
That being the case it's important to have the ability to invoice your clients effectively. Today that's easier than ever to accomplish. By udownloading an invoicing app on your Smartphone. Much better than using the old fashion paper invoicing.
The reason it's better is because, if the client doesn't want to carry paper around, they don't need to. With an invoicing app you just create and send it to them via email. That way they have the choice to read it, or if they want a paper copy they can just print one out.
It's a much more convenient that way. I know how it works for me. I probably haven't even printed out many paper invoices I have received in the last year. I just like to read them at my insure and if the're correct then that's good enough for me. That way I don't need to save all of that paper.
These days we just don't want to store excess paper unless it's absolutely necessary. That's why it's good to have an invoice generator to send the bill to your clients. They will appreciate you more for considering these things beforehand. People now days want to work with businesses that are with the technological times we are living in.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Imagine yourself needing a surgery for some illness, and going to a hospital that was using equipment from the 1920's. Not a comfortable feeling is it? Especially when you know that there's so much good new technology to help people now days that wasn't around back then. You would want the doctor to use the best equipment available today.
You should really look at it from your clients perspective, don't you think they want a Tradesman who uses the latest tools. That says a lot about you and your business. It says to them that you're a competent Tradesman who knows how to conduct business in these modern times.
And isn't that's the positive impression you want to give them. So get yourself an Invoice Generator and please your clients. I recommend the this appp for your business Click Here!.

MAINZ, Germany - A horse was caught on camera breaking the speed limit in Germany last month, leading authorities in the city of Eppstein to suspect they had caught a glimpse of a rising equine star.
A speed camera "flashed" the animal supposedly doing 36 mph in a 31-mph-zone on a country road outside the historic town near Frankfurt. The photo taken last month was released on Monday.
It turns out the snapshot of the tubby and shaggy equine was triggered by a speeding vehicle, which can be seen in the photo behind the horse's tail end. City officials decided the driver could not be fined because the license plate had was obscured by the horse.
The speeding ticket would have cost 10 euros, or $13.

U.S. says Iraq missions will go on
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. military commanders say "direct-action" missions will continue throughout Iraq despite the winding down of military action.
"These actions are intended to locate regime leaders and also to search former regime facilities," said Brigadier General Vincent Brooks at U.S. Central Command in Doha, Qatar, adding that U.S. troops were also on the lookout for people looking to launch suicide attacks.
Rewards will be offered for information leading to the capture of leaders of Saddam Hussein's regime, he said.
Across Iraq, no major fighting was reported Tuesday as the war continued to wind down. U.S. troops found more hidden weapons caches, and opposition leaders met U.S. officials for the first time to discuss a new government for the country.
In one operation on Tuesday U.S. Marines charged into the Palestine Hotel in central Baghdad, searching for "unauthorized weapons" and people "not friendly to the United States," a military source told CNN. (Full story)
In the hotel raid, arrests were made, but no details were disclosed. The operation was aimed at making the hotel safer, the military source told CNN's Michael Holmes. About 2,000 journalists covering the war have been staying there.
The Marines banged on doors -- forcing them open if occupants did not answer -- as they swept through at least two floors.
Hotel guests, who included about 2,000 international journalists covering the war, were asked to lie on the floor while rooms were searched, said CNN producer Linda Roth, who was on the 17th floor when the operation began.
A U.S. attack on the hotel killed two journalists last week. The U.S. Central Command said the military was responding to "significant enemy fire."
After coalition airstrikes and tank fire rocked Baghdad overnight, a massive column of U.S. Army armored vehicles rolled into the heart of the Iraqi capital Tuesday.
CNN's Holmes said the convoy was made up of elements of the Army V Corps, including the 4th Infantry Division. It will take over duties of Marines who have been trying to keep order in the city.
Clouds of white smoke rose from southeastern Baghdad around midday, and there was a series of huge explosions. The U.S. military was believed to be detonating large ammunition dumps, Holmes reported.
In Tikrit, the northern city taken Monday by coalition forces, two cars were found packed with explosives, the Arabic language television network Al Jazeera reported. One of the cars was parked among journalists' cars and would have killed dozens of journalists and civilians if it had exploded, the report said.
Brig. Gen. Brooks said U.S. Special Operations forces found 80 SA-2 or SA-3 surface-to-air missiles hidden within a ravine, and the U.S. Army 5th Corps found a weapons cache with 91 cases of TNT and plastic explosives, six homemade bombs, and 23 cases of rocket-propelled grenades -- and, elsewhere, the Corps found 10 small caches of ammunition and weapons.
At the ancient city of Ur near Nasiriya, the United States began the first of several meetings of Iraqi opposition leaders to begin discussing the future governance of Iraq, post-Saddam Hussein. (Full story)
They convened in a white tent in the shadow of the restored remains of the ancient Ur ziggurat, or observatory.
Thousands of Shiite Muslims protested in the streets of Nasiriya, fearing they will be excluded from the process, CNN's John Vause reported.
Those attending, hand-picked by the United States, also are expected to discuss whether the Baathist Party, Saddam's ruling party, will be allowed a role in the future Iraq. Among those attending the session is a representative of Ahmed Chalabi, head of the Iraqi National Congress.

Standard Register Unveils Automated Solution to Help Banks
Monday, July 07, 2003
Press release from the issuing companyDAYTON, Ohio--July 3, 2003-- Standard Register announced the launch of ArmoredTrac(TM), a new automated solution that utilizes bar code technology to track the movement of cash deposits. Designed to help optimize ATM and branch deposit operations, ArmoredTrac helps banks drive down the cost of tracking deposit collections while improving accuracy and security. It is the latest offering in Standard Register's full spectrum of document management solutions for the banking industry. "Managing the collection of cash deposits is challenging. It's extremely costly to track and control collections from multiple pickup points, especially when the process is handled manually," noted Jeff Strasser, vice president of strategic marketing for Standard Register's Document & Label Solutions. "ArmoredTrac leverages technology to fundamentally improve the tracking process, cutting man-hours by as much as 50 percent while reducing discrepancies and establishing tighter control over the chain of custody." ArmoredTrac automates the collection process, utilizing bar code scanning hardware and software to track cash, checks and credit card transaction pickups faster, easier and more securely. It gathers pickup data at the various points of collection, recording date, time and personnel identification information, so there is a complete record of deposit counts and movements. The multiple layers of security provided by ArmoredTrac enable the bank or service bureau to better control transfer operations. Management can restrict who has access to data collection screens, and who can view or change specific information. An audit log provides a full accounting of every movement. The system also includes a backup data-archiving function. ArmoredTrac offers complete reporting capability. In addition to providing pre-defined reports, it gives users the ability to search the database, examining collection activities by time of day, operator, pick-up point or any other parameter established in the database. According to Strasser, ArmoredTrac is easy to implement. Its modular design enables a company or financial institution to convert manual processes a step at a time, adding capabilities when they're ready. Standard Register works with clients to map the migration path, evaluate their process, and establish a workflow that meets their objectives and interfaces with their reconciliation system. The ArmoredTrac software was developed exclusively for Standard Register by its long-time business partner ASC. It is part of Standard Register's total solution that includes process review, software, hardware, supplies, installation and training. "Our goal is to provide banking customers with the means to optimize the deposit management process by introducing greater accuracy, efficiency and security. ArmoredTrac achieves that objective through best practices and technology," Strasser said.

I got my first batch of submissions from Carina today. Prior to the delivery I spent a good chunk of time yesterday and today streamlining my email operations to 1)better handle what I anticipate will be the flood of junk mail and junk submission from the wilds of the Internet and 2)better handle the flow of reading and reporting I'll do for Carina. It's not until a project like this that I realize how amazing GMail really is and how little of it's power I've been tapping all these years.
And right off the bat as I glanced through the submissions I had flashbacks to the truly enjoyable parts of working on Demolition. I love the optimism and promise of a great read that comes with the slush pile. I'm excited to dig into these submissions and seek out the genius while also looking for some projects that can benefit from my editorial guidance. As a writer my favorite part is right after the rough draft when I can evaluate the sloppy mess I've dumped on the page and start sculpting it into it's true form. I anticipate much of the same kind of joy helping other authors navigate their way through this process.
Also, secretly, I'm looking forward to the occasional stinker that makes me feel better about my own work.
I assume it won't be long before I'm all jaded and hackneyed just doing this for the cash, but until then I'm going to enjoy the beauty of the process and hope the writing in that submission batch is better than the swill I just dumped here.

For release
Altman Athletic Center opens Friday
The Citadel Brigadier Foundation will dedicate the Altman Athletic Center on Friday, October 12, 2001.
Built with the help of a $1 million donation from the William M. Altman Jr. family, the athletic center houses hospitality rooms and locker facilities for Citadel athletics. The building is in the north end zone of Johnson Hagood Stadium.
The Altman Center is part of long-range plans to rebuild Johnson Hagood Stadium and create and athletic complex. The Holliday Alumni Center across from the football field was the first building completed. It opened in 2000.
A native of South Carolina and a 1931 Citadel graduate, the late William M. Altman Jr. was also an Army and World War II veteran, having served from 1942 to 1946. He owned and operated Altman Motors, Inc. in Orangeburg and in later years was associated with the Division of General Services for the State of South Carolina.
Altman is the recipient of an honorary doctorate of laws from The Citadel in 1991 and the Order of the Palmetto. He was a long-time member of The Citadel Brigadier Foundation, serving as its president in 1996, and was active in the Citadel Alumni Association.
More than 100 people are expected to attend the invitation-only dedication ceremony Friday along with members of the Altman family and Citadel administrators and supporters.
Also, Friday's parade will be in honor of Altman and members of his family expected to attend. Parade begins at 3:45 p.m. on Summerall Field. It is free and open to the public.
Media who want to cover Friday's Altman Athletic Center dedication are asked to contact Citadel Public Affairs in advance at 953.2155 or 953.6779.

For this Total Recall look I used Cinema 4D with Greyscale Gorilla's City Kit and Texture Kit Pro, and After Effects with plug-ins from GenArts, Boris FX and Francois Tarlier. I also relied heavily on Digital Juice Motion Designer's Toolkit, which saved me a bunch of time not having to build and animate user interface elements (UI) from scratch.
If you've watched Total Recall (2012) you would have seen the amazing futuristic city where the film is set. Greyscale Gorilla's City Kit for Cinema 4D was the obvious choice for creating a quick but amazingly realistic city model used as the basis for this look.
I chose the night time city which only took minutes to set up, then positioned a wide angle lens camera directly above the city looking down. The wide angle gives the buildings a dynamic, splayed look.
The text was modelled using paths from Adobe Illustrator with the Cinema 4D Extrude Nurbs object, and textured using materials from Greyscale Gorilla's Texture Kit Pro. Texture Kit Pro includes a terrific set of metal textures, three of which I applied to the front face, rounding and sides of the text. For the slightly scuffed look I used the Mossy Grime Overlay texture. The overlay textures include alpha channels and are positioned at the far right of the material tags in Cinema 4D, overlaying all of the other textures.
The camera's Y Position was keyframed to pull back from the City floor, revealing the Total Recall text as it moved. The F Curve indicates a short ease at the start, followed by a fast pullback, then gentle, extended ease.
The city and text were rendered in a single pass in order to get the reflections of the buildings in the sides of the letters. An image buffer for the text was required in order to stack the UI elements behind it in After Effects (see below).
Digital Juice Motion Designer's Toolkit 2 and 3 include large libraries of high-tech graphic elements perfect for sci-fi films such as Total Recall, which includes a number of scenes with futuristic interfaces. I felt that the city combined with a high-tech user interface would really match the look and feel of the film.
All of the UI elements I chose were greyscale and were colorised using the Sapphire Tint effect.
The first element comped with the background. I tend to add elements that are spread out and cover more of the frame first before adding smaller, more localised elements.
These elements are from Digital Juice Motion Designer's Toolkit 3. Notice the large circular mask to prevent the area around the text appearing too cluttered. The lights (and camera) was imported with the After Effects Composition (.aec) file from Cinema 4D, so all of the interface elements are being illuminated by the same lights used to illuminate the city and text.
While Motion Designer's Toolkit 2 and 3 include complete interfaces, rather than simply plonking one interface on top, I created my own custom interface using individual elements. This gave me more control over the look and also ensured a more unique final result.
These circular elements look great and effectively frame the title, guiding the viewer's attention to the centre of the frame.
At this stage all of the elements were in front of the text but this was addressed later.
I liked this hexagonal strip element but didn't want it right across the text, so masked it to be only visible at the sides. It's these kind of considerations that make a look busy and interesting but not cluttered and difficult to read.
These were the final tech elements, which echo the perspective of the camera and serve to lock the interface somewhat with the buildings. There were plenty of other elements I prepared but didn't use for fear of over-doing the look.
All of the interface elements combined look pretty good by themselves, especially on black.
The final interface comped over the main graphic looks interesting but unfinished.
A Cinema 4D image buffer matte was used to comp the text in front of the interface. The text layer was also given a subtle cyan color grade using the Curves effect.
Having the text comped on top of the interface looks cleaner and adds depth. All of the interface elements are 3D layers in After Effects and were positioned in z-space with the help of Cinema 4D External Compositing Tags.
As mentioned above, the imported .aec file included the Cinema 4D camera and all of it's keyframes, which allowed the interface elements to sit seamlessly in the 3D scene.
The final stages included a simple color grade, using an Adjustment Layer with the Vibrance effect to desaturate and the Curves effect for an overall cyan/green look.
An Adjustment Layer with Boris Continuum Complete Film Glow for a soft, overall glow, which adds depth and interest.
Another Adjustment Layer with Sapphire Scanlines, used sparingly for that popular interface look. It also helps unify all of the individual elements into one cohesive look.
And an Adjustment Layer with ft-Lens Distortion by Francois Tarlier. My workmate Grischa showed me this effect, which is handy for adding a touch of chromatic abberation and giving that aged, less-than-perfect look. This script is available at aescripts.
I also keyframed the distortion setting for this effect at start of the animation to add a sense of paranoia and that something "wasn't quite right".
The full frame supers consisted of a number of elements not used in the title animation plus a subtle liquid effect in the centre of the frame courtesy of Digital Juice Compositor's Toolkit 3. The liquid is only subtle but balances nicely with the geometric UI elements.

If you've ever been in a pub or bar during a live sports match, you'll know that there are few things fans like more than a good debate.
Who's better: Ronaldo or Messi? Was that really a foul? What are your predictions? The discussions are endless, and yet face-to-face interactions are just the tip of the iceberg.
We also head to social media in droves to discuss that goal, that foul, that refereeing decision. Social is now a key area for brands looking to engage with sports, and in this post, Mporium explores why.
Social Sport
Research has found that 61% of sports viewers follow a sports-related account on social media and 80% interact with other fans. Champions League finalists Real Madrid and Liverpool, for example, have over 40m Twitter followers between them, while the official NFL feed commands a following of 24.7m.
The power of social media is so significant that it's even altering the way clubs view themselves and their sponsorship possibilities.
Barcelona worked with sporting marketing agency IMG to understand the value that social media adds to shirt sponsorship and landed on some important discoveries.
"We found there was an extraordinary amount of value that the shirt sponsor of Barcelona was receiving on social media, which wasn't really factored into the sponsorship," Rob Mason, managing director of IMG Consulting, told The Telegraph.
"Our work there told us that social media is the next great frontier for sports sponsorships. But sports rights holders need to understand their social media value, and sponsors need to know what they want from it."
The greater engagement between fans and the sport they follow has also significantly reshaped the way teams engage with their fans. "This has been the biggest sea change for all sports rights holders in the past few years," says Mark Lichtenhein, the PGA European Tour's head of television, digital media and technology.
"We now have a dialogue with the fanbase. We never had that before. We were just a business-to-business industry selling our content to broadcasters and rights to sponsors."
Second Screening in Sport
This fan/sport interaction is a real-time experience that's happening as the teams are playing. GlobalWebIndex found that 96% of people who watch sporting events do so while using another device. 74% of those people are using their mobile.
Thanks to its reactive nature, Twitter is the natural place for sports fans to discuss their passions. Here, fans can find reporters, players and fellow fans discussing the events, meaning there's a great opportunity for brands to get involved with relevant messaging.
Look, for example, at Oreo's You Can Still Dunk In The Dark tweet that was sent out during a power outage at the 2013 Superbowl.
By being reactive and delivering a clever message that resonated with people's interest in an unpredictable and unusual event, Oreo managed to capture the attention and engagement of a massive audience despite having no obvious connection to sport.
And with 62% of Twitter users more likely to recall brands that share sports content, it's no surprise to see companies undertaking activity like this more frequently.
Whether it's the Superbowl, the Olympics, Wimbledon or the forthcoming football World Cup, the sporting calendar is always bursting with events that brands can engage with.
It's just a case of finding the right content and delivering it at the right time.
To find out how mporium IMPACT can help your business to just that, get in touch!
