Arsenal is delighted to announce that after a thorough recruitment process, Ivan Gazidis has been appointed the new chief executive officer, taking up the position in January 2009.
Gazidis, 44, is presently Deputy Commissioner for Major League Soccer (MLS) in the USA where he provides vision on all the key strategic and business decisions made by the league and its marketing arm, Soccer United Marketing. He oversees all aspects of MLS competition, including negotiation of the transfer and employment contracts of all the players in the league, managing stadium events, security issues and player, coaching and refereeing matters.
In addition to his MLS duties, Mr Gazidis was the president of Soccer United Marketing's international division between 2002 and 2006 where he developed and implemented winning strategies for the Mexican Soccer Federation and the CONCACAF Gold Cup as well as innovative new concepts such as American tours for the England national team, Barcelona and Real Madrid amongst others.
Arsenal Chairman Peter Hill-Wood said: "Ivan's credentials are first class. It is evident that he has a wealth of business acumen together with a broad knowledge of football that will not only help to maintain Arsenal's pre-eminent standing but enhance our reputation within the football community and international commercial markets."
Ivan Gazidis said: "I have been privileged in my 14 years with MLS to have worked with and for some of the best sports executives and owners in the world, whose vision, commitment and expertise have taken the league from strength to strength and provided a solid platform for its future growth. I am delighted to be offered the opportunity to bring that experience to bear at Arsenal - a club rich in heritage and tradition - that is superbly positioned for success in the modern era. I relish the prospect of working with the key stakeholders to further propel the Club forward. It is nearly 16 years since I left the UK but I'm very much looking forward to returning in January."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- General Information (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/)
- - Anyone think 2 dogs are easier than one? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/461394-anyone-think-2-dogs-easier-than-one.html)
Anyone think 2 dogs are easier than one?
My goal was to get a puppy at the end of the year regardless of what happened with Avery. For those of you that don't know Avery was diagnosed with Lymphoma in May, sadly it was very aggressive, by the time we got an appt with an Oncologist I had to make the difficult decision to let him go. He was only 4 years old. He would have loved another dog that he could actually play with (I have a Chihuahua currently)...
So now I've been thinking. My new puppy will be coming home mid-august and I'm sad she won't have a playmate. At the same token, I will have tons of time to spend with her and train. Do you think the one on one time with me will be better than the benefit of another dog? I just know as far as tiring a dog out, dog play is the best way to do it. I've been considering getting a older rescue, so I won't have two puppies at once. I am just so heartbroken about Avery, I know deep down there is a void I want to fill, but I also don't want to be overwhelmed. The other thought is to foster in the meantime, however finding a breed rescue that lets you foster without breed experience seems to be difficult.
What do you think?
One puppy at a time, raise it, train it, bond with it, spoil it with all of your love and attention. You cannot beat one on one time with your puppy.
Then maybe when your puppy is a year old, you could rescue an older dog or when your puppy is around 2 years old you could get another puppy?
2 Attachment(s)
I have two pups 18 weeks and 12 weeks... training is time consuming (double the time each day) but they have each other for company when I am at work. I would not change having them both for anything. :)
2 dogs = double the training, vet cost, food cost, time and exercise. I enjoy having my 2 shepherds and couldn't imagine my life without them. My dogs enjoy each others companionship but they are extremely bonded to me and my family. I think a dog is okay without another dog. I think it comes down to how much time and commitment to 2 dogs do you have. Both my dogs have different needs and require different activities. Athena is all about fetch while Sinister needs mental stimulation on a daily basis or gets into serious mischief. So it is how much time can you invest into 2 dogs. I am so sorry for your loss! Good luck with your new pup.
A year old!?!? LOL I'm not sure I'll be able to wait a whole year!
But I definitely need to see what life will be like with a puppy before making any rash decisions. Perhaps, its the waiting that's getting to me, August seems soooo far away!!
I know I won't do two puppies at once, that for sure!
I've had pairs of GSDs living together for long periods several times in my life, and it's always been much harder than one dog. A lot of people get a second dog because they want the first dog to have a "friend" or companion to amuse themselves without any effort on the owner's part. It's the same reason a lot of people take their dogs to dog parks and let them loose without supervision. This can be a real problem with young puppies raised together (search for "littermate syndrome") or if the two dogs aren't interested in each other. Are you prepared to put in twice (or more) as much effort to own two dogs if necessary?
Owning my current dog made me realize more and more what lengths people go to make their dogs less interested in interacting with them. If I raised another puppy I would make every effort to keep him as handler focused as possible.
I would not be getting another dog for the puppy, if that's what you are asking. I know that's how it sounds. But I don't believe in leaving two dogs home alone unsupervised unless I'm 100% sure they are ready for it, so company when I'm gone is out. As I said before, I would never do two puppies at once, esp not from the same litter. I think not having Avery here is just making it harder to wait.
Having young dogs is alot harder than one thinks..I just lost my THIRD set of TWO dogs within months of each other..I swore I'd never get another close in age.
Masi just turned six, and I have a 14 week old piranha (sp)..I cannot envision having two close in age again..it's devasting enough to lose one, when you lose to, it really stinks.
Get a puppy, enjoy him/her, if you want another dog in the house, Foster, good luck with your decision
Did I mention this will be my first puppy that I will raise on my own? LOL
My last puppy was my family's dog and she is 11 years old. And we had 1 other puppy 4 years earlier.
Avery was 8 months old when I got him and looking back, he was easy. Already potty trained. Only chewed things I said he could. Crate trained. His energy was more than I expected, but I know I'm ready for the energy this time around (and then some)...
Lincoln, my chi, was 4 years old when I got him. And other than potty training being a nightmare, he is a really great little dog.
Having two young dogs at once generally falls into this category.
I don't think I know anybody on this earth who would say two pups at once is EASIER. Do-able, maybe, under the right circumstances...definitely not easier. And definitely not for a first-timer.
The thought of having two of Delta makes me shudder....
As others have said, wait. Get your toes wet, learn the ropes. You'll value the experience so much more.

Arsène Wenger may decide not to move for another defender in the transfer window.
Wenger has been forced to use Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny and Johan Djourou in the full-back positions in recent weeks after losing Andre Santos, Kieran Gibbs, Bacary Sagna and Carl Jenkinson to injury.
But the Frenchman is not convinced that a new recruit will be necessary with Sagna and Gibbs expected back by the end of January.
"At the moment it is very difficult because we have players out who are short to come back," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "There are difficult decisions to make because we are short in the full-back positions.
"But you think, 'do you really want to buy a full back for three or four years?'
"When you have four out and two close to coming back. I think no, because we have people who can do the job during this period."

Ok it was like xmas morning today at work. I got my which I had purchased on ebay, and my BF leather belt. First the belt I was amazed. I LOVE THIS BELT! I was wearing it around the office unitl one of my dads receptionist told me to take it off that I looked like a fool! Ah..what does she know. Later my Helmet came. Since I had only paid 375 for it and not 1300 I knew it wasn't going to be an jaw-dropping helmet. No "hallelujahs" or trumpets blared when I opened the box. It still gave me the chills to have a Boba Fett helm in my hands.
Then later came, and the wore off. I started to exaime the helmet. I know there are alot of things I need to change on it. Visor, putting some inside padding, touching up some pant work. Re doing the hand drawn decals. But something caught my eye, and I dont' like it. It seems (when looking at the helm) the right side (eye view) Is not aligned to the left. Do you see it? I mean is it obvious? Now I am even wondering if this is cast from a Mystery HELM or a cast from a recast..or perhaps this happened in the process of making the helm. I will contact the seller, but (in my best George McFly impersonation "I just not good at confrontations...." I figure he would just tell me to resell it on ebay.
I am not sure what to do now ....I had just talked in my parents friend who is a electical engineer who agreed to help me out with my helm, and suit. He was going to hollow out the stock on the RF and do some nice remote control, and light modfications to it. But now seeing this should I? Should I resell it on ebay? Or can this be fixed? Someone told me that I could sand down the rightside to match the left, but I dont' want something worse happening. Well any thoughts would be appreciated

If we would get to understand that you would quickly see that the only way to compete against lower labor costs in foreign countries is to automate. That produces the types of jobs people in this country want requiring more skill and more pay.
But instead manufacturers take the easy way out, buy or hire off shore and then cry that there is nothing left here to support this country and the people that live here. Machinery is too complicated.
You can't get more production by just beating on people like you do now.
In my book that is stupid. The minute you make the decision to go off shore with your manufacturing you have given up. You just lost control of your operation and eventually you will loose against the competition. You are on their turf. Watch and see what happens.
Yes, but with fewer people.
At a certain point it is less expensive to take the product overseas instead of investing in automation.

Thus affirmed– live on the first EPSB webcast!
I was afirmed as a new Trustee at our November 2nd board meeting. Thank you for the emails of support. I look forward to serving the district. On of the most exciting aspects of the meeting was that it was the first webcast meeting of the Edmonton Public School Board. City Council regularly shares their meetings online, but this was a first for Edmonton Public. I look forward to exploring further measures on how we can make our board more transparent, inclusive and better communicate with the public.
You will be able to tune-in online on November 16th and hear some interesting discussion items including a motion to create a special needs task force and a motion for our board to reaffirm our committment to the discussions with city council and the province regarding school space and school closures. After the Mayor and many city councillors committed to action during the election, I look forward to getting the ball rolling!
Newsletter list grows
Thank you to those of you who have signed up for the Ward F newsletter. This will be used infrequently on a monthly basis for ward related and school related news. If you have not done so already, click here to sign up.
Meeting of School Council Chairs of Ward F
In early December I will be hosting a meeting of the school council chairs the date and time of this meeting will be sent out over my Ward F newsletter if you are interested in participating. I have been trying to get out to as many of the school council meetings as I can, and I look forward to setting up our first Ward F Ward Council/Town Hall meeting in the new year!
Your Feedback is Necessary
The province has put forward a new framework for public education and a new school act. These are the crucial documents steering the education system forward in our province.
Education Act Proposed Framework: http://engage.education.alberta.ca/uploads/1011/educationact-propose87321.pdf
If you haven't read Inspiring Action, you can click here to get a .PDF copy: http://engage.education.alberta.ca/uploads/1006/20100621inspiringact86934.pdf
I look forward to your feedback and thoughts on the issue. Former Education Minister, David King, shared a blog with a few thoughts on the new framework that sparked some conversation.
What do you think is missing from the act? What would you like to see included?
School Reviews
November is an opportunity for the trustees to review our schools and decision units over the past year. I have participated in various school review meetings which brings together a group of 6-8 schools (including group of Principals, Vice Principals, School council members) for a discussion. An Assistant Superintendent is present to observe these interactions as well, and I'm not quite sure how I feel yet about their attendance (does their presence limit discussion or limit the frankness of staff and community contributions?) Nevertheless, I encouraged everyone to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if they had anything else they wanted to share.
The reviews have helped us learn about some of the unique challenges and opportunities at each of our schools. We have had a chance to review their achievement test scores, staff and student satisfaction surveys, and dig deeper into how we can better empower our schools to succeed in the future. We also had a chance to review some of the central decision making units in the superintendents area. For the 6 new trustees this was an opportunity to learn more about the inner machinations deep within the "Big Blue" — the affectionate term for 1 Kingsway, the EPSB Headquarters.
Questions could be quite specific about performance issues or could be quite general. One of the ice breakers I was interested in hearing was if the Principal had been to a community league function over the past year or not and if the school had a relationship with their neighbours. As a trustee who is passionate about community and libraries, I was also curious to hear if the School had a relationship with their local Edmonton Public Library branch. So far most schools have answered in the affirmative to both questions.
School Council Training
Wednesday evening I attended the school council training evening hosted by Edmonton public and the Alberta School Council Association. The ASCA helps empower school councils with advocacy and training to help empower school councils be more effective in their day to day work. They are primarily funded by the province and membership dues.
School Council: 1. A group of people who work together to advise the principal and the board respecting matters relating to the school. 2. A means for parents and community members to work together with the school to support and enhance student learning. Alberta School Council Resource Manual, 2006
The session was presented by Lisa Dickner and her focus was empowering school council participants to give them purpose. She did a fantastic job in discussing how important increasing parental involvement in a child's education is.
Increased parental involvement results in:
- Higher student achievement
- Better student attendance
- Positive student attitudes and behaviors
- Higher student graduation rates.
Questions I'm pondering:
- How can the district help better empower parent councils?
- How can the district better connect parent council volunteers with each other?
- How can the district better engage parents in their children's education?
- How can we better connect the surrounding neighbourhoods to their local school and foster a strong relationship between the community league and the school council?
- Should we establish a council of school councils throughout the whole district?
Upcoming in November:
- More school reviews. More Central Unit reviews. They are open to the public and are listed on www.epsb.ca if you would like to attend
- Attending school council and community league meetings
- EPSB Trustee Retreat
- Alberta School Boards' Association fall conference

Housing Benefit - important notice
From April 2013, restrictions will be introduced on the size of property that you can claim Housing Benefit for. You can use this calculator provided by Citizens' Advice to work out how many bedrooms you are entitled to claim for.
If you bid on a property which is larger than you are entitled to Housing Benefit for, the housing provider may overlook your bid in favour of a household who would fully occupy the property. You should therefore use your bids for properties with an appropriate number of bedrooms.
Most social housing providers now ask for rent in advance at the start of the tenancy, so you should make provision for this. You may be able to get a Discretionary Housing Payment to cover this, or to get an affordable loan from Nottingham Credit Union.

Hi everyone,
I applied to do a TESOL course through CATUS TEFL and I got accepted. The course is through Language Corps and it seems fairly good. But, however, I have done some web research into people's experiences and to find out how reputable they are. I have found mixed reviews, some really negative. Obviously this concerns me, considering the price ect.
Has anyone been on the course or had any experience with them??

'The third period did not start well for Buffalo. After being hemmed in their own zone for most of the frame, the Sabres surrendered a breakaway goal at 8:02. Jason Pominville had a shot blocked in the Jets' zone and the deflection trickled right to Bryan Little who found Blake Wheeler for a breakaway. Wheeler put it past Miller to give Winnipeg the 2-1 lead.'

The Clock at The Burrow with only one hand hung in the kitchen at The Burrow. Instead of numbers, the clock featured reminders such as "time to make tea," "time to feed the chickens," and "you're late." It was probably used by Molly Weasley to keep track of her daily routine. It appears to be weight driven, has many swinging pendulums and strikes the hour and quarters on its three bells.

Hi everyone! I'm a qualified TEFL teacher, and unfortunately I have a criminal conviction for drink driving (UK). Stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, was young and idiotic, but I learned my lesson and will keep my nose clean for the rest of my life!
Thing is after I finish university in summer 2014 I plan to travel and teach, but the visa situation could be a bit sticky because of this conviction!
However, by that time in the UK my conviction will be 'spent' and will not be shown on a basic CRB check.
So if anyone has any experience of this will this conviction hinder me travelling to places requiring background checks as it won't show up. If I need to hold my hands up and admit I was a naughty girl in my youth if they ask "have you ever been arrested" then so be it!
Thanks everyone.

I have a 1554 bass boat I just gutted. I am still cleaning and working on the hull and trailer to get them up to my standards before I put the floor back in.
I am looking for pictures on designs for open duck/fishing boats. (I saw the pictures up top but its not much on inside and some pictures are missing now.) Any ideas on different setups for front and back storage areas. I want the front for a pedstal seat and a dog platform for hunting. A possible fold down platform side seat that can be removed during fishing season. It could fold down while driving and setup to hunt from one side in shallow water with the blind up on the other.
I'm new at this interior boat design, so I'm open for all ideas.

When it is a Sauvignon de St Bris
Simmonnet Sauvignon de Saint Bris 2007 Aprox $13
Imagine a Sauvignon Blanc with little grass and medium citrus, with all the gravel and minerals of Chablis. That's what this wine is like!
St Bris is absolutely a Bourgogne Appellation, but it is the only one in Burgundy that is SB. Simmonnet is now a part of the Louis Latour group and is a faairly well respected Chablis producer. Wwll worth looking for.

Pope Benedict XVI apologized to the people of Ireland for increasing revelations of sexual abuses caused by actions of members of the clergy. He admitted there had been "grave errors of judgment" on the part of those in charge of the Catholic Church. He appealed to priests to "openly acknowledge your guilt and submit yourselves to the demands of justice." However, many critics are concerned at failure to open the files and allow secular authorities to investigate any and all claims of abuse on the part of clergy members. There is also a sense the Pope simply lacks a grasp as to the extent of what occurred in Ireland, let alone understand what must be done.
The issue of celibacy remains one that is not examined. Celibacy was NOT a practice among original members of the Catholic church and was added hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ. It is time to reopen the topic by asking a commission representing a cross section of views to examine the topic and make recommendations.
An apology today will simply require another one tomorrow unless changes are made in celibacy,

|Live Flash Bang Grenade Found at ELP
Hand grenades again… This time it was a LIVE flash bang grenade in a carry-on bag at El Paso (ELP) and it caused a shutdown of the checkpoint resulting in a 30 minute delay affecting 150 passengers.
A passenger opted out of the body scanner at Buffalo (BUF) and during the pat-down, a 9" nonmetallic serrated knife was found in his pants pocket. The passenger stated later that he opted out of the body scanner because he was trying to get the knife through security. At least he didn't simply say he forgot it was there…
Non Metallic Knife (BUF)
Firearm Found Strapped To Passenger's Ankle (DTW)
Notable News: Earlier this week, we blogged about a 76-year-old man who tried to come through the checkpoint with a loaded .380 strapped to his ankle. Just more proof the technology works… Read more here. - TSA Pre✓™ rolled out in Vegas this week! If you're interested in expedited screening, check it out! – TSA Administrator John S. Pistole responded to a White House We The People petition. Take a look at the response…
Not counting all of the usual items our officers find, this week they also found stun guns, firearm components, ammunition, replica firearms, brass knuckles, nunchucks, switchblades, butterfly knives, collapsible batons, and several knives with blades up to 8".
|Knives Found at (JFK)
On the other hand, there are artfully concealed items... Artfully concealed means that the prohibited item was intentionally concealed with the intention of sneaking it through security:
SFO – Passenger wrapped an unloaded .380 pistol in aluminum foil and placed it in an X-ray proof bag inside his checked bag. Yeah, with the X-ray proof bag, we can't see what's in it, but we can see the bag which means we have to look in it.
SLC – Razor blade taped to bottom of laptop.
RAP – Razor blade concealed in shoe sole.
PSE – Three Lite-Brite's found in checked baggage with marijuana stuffed in them. Not looking for drugs, but an organic substance stuffed in with electronics is alarming.
Our officers found 13 loaded firearms and 6 unloaded firearms in carry-on baggage since I posted last Friday. Here's a rundown of the 19 firearms our officers kept off of airplanes this week:
12/9: BHM – Unloaded .40 – FLL – Loaded .22
12/10: TUS – 9mm Loaded w/ Round Chambered – DTW – Loaded .380 w/ Round Chambered
12/11: MSY – Loaded .380 - SGF – Unloaded .380 – ATL - Loaded .22 w/ Round Chambered
12/12: IAH – Unloaded 9mm – ELM – Loaded .380 – SGA - Unloaded 9mm
12/13: ECP – Loaded .38 – BHM – Loaded .380 – DAL – Loaded .380 w/ Round Chambered – BUR – Loaded .22
12/14: IND – Unloaded .380 – BOS – Loaded .22 – BHM – Unloaded .45

FLUSHING, N.Y. --- Zoe De Bruycker, Gina Suarez-Malaguti, Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay will represent the North Carolina women's tennis team this weekend at the 2012 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Play begins Thursday with two rounds of doubles and one round of singles.
De Bruycker, Suarez-Malaguti and Kay are each in the 32-player singles field after earning at-large berths.
De Bruycker, who was the singles runner-up at last month's USTA/ITA Carolina Region Championships in Winston-Salem, was an ITA at-large selection due to her high national ranking and performance so far this fall. She will open play Thursday against Santa Clara's Katie Le. The two met earlier this fall at the ITA All-American Championships, with Le winning in straight sets.
Suarez-Malaguti, who is a perfect 7-0 with wins over two top-20 opponents already, was also chosen as an at-large pick. She will face USC's Sabrina Santamaria in the opening round. Santamaria, the No. 8 player in the country, defeated Lauren McHale in the ITA All-American Championships opening round.
Kay, who was the first singles alternate and made the field after another player withdrew, opens singles against No. 8 seed Lauren Herring of Georgia. Kay and her classmate Dai, who were doubles semifinalists at regionals and are 9-1 this fall, earned the USTA wild card to the 20-team doubles field. They received a bye into the round of 16 and will face the winner of the match between Tereza Bekerova and Paige Miles of Utah and Penn's Sonya Latycheva-Agustina Sol-Eskenazi.
Fans can follow the tournament at the ITA official website and on Twitter at @ITATennis and by searching #NationalIndoors.

Please reconnect the following networks to maintain your Social Impact. The connection may have expired.
Granted, I haven't shopped there since high school, but even then I might have bought one t-shirt from there before I learned that the quality is god-awful.
This place has really cute clothes, but I walked in looking for a prom dress one time and as I was looking someone who worked in the store said "sorry we don't have anything your size here" it was the only time anyone has ever said anything like that to me, I am 5' 4 and a 125 pounds.. maybe some of their clothes would be long for me, but I am a pretty average size.
Yes, they were cheaply made most of the time, but I have gotten some great use out of the jeans and leggings I have bought from there.
Great if you're looking for a special occasion dress because they're quality, a good price, and available in plus sizes.
They do have nice formal dresses and accessories so I would recommend coming here if you need a dress for an occasion for a great deal.

Recalling the hardwood platform rockers from the early 1900s, this glider furniture is made from sturdy, weatherproof Brazilian eucalyptus. Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, the glider furniture is constructed from eucalyptus that has a Janka hardness rating of 1,125—30% higher than mahogany—making it one of the densest, strongest woods in the world. Eucalyptus wood's natural oils and tight grain prevent damage from rain, mold, and termites, allowing confident outdoor storage. The eucalyptus is kiln dried to enhance its durability, and the furniture is crafted with hardwood doweling and stainless steel hardware to ensure years of reliable use. A ball bearing suspension system provides smooth, relaxed gliding forward and backward with minimal effort. Left alone, the wood will develop a unique silvery gray patina, or it may be oiled to retain its original appearance. Assembly required.

This item as a glider is not as expected.
By Murmick
from Orlando FL.
This chair is strong item and appears very weather safe.However, I purchased this item as a Glider, and, that is where it is not good. The length of glide is very restricted. Limited to a short level glide only. Not sufficient to rock a child to sleep. Returned the item for refund.
wide and comfortable

Gay Slurs in Television
I would like to preface this entire post by mentioning that most actors who play high school students in our favorite dramas are really, really old. Though they have not yet succumbed to the allure of Life Alert and Jello three times a day, they are a shockingly false portrayal of what teenagers actually look like. I'm going to postulate that shows such as 90210 and Gossip Girl have female dominated audiences, so I suppose having really old male actors serves to sexualize high school beyond its sordid reality?
In any case, Trevor Donovan, the 90210 regular whose character is slated to come out of the closet this season, is 32 years old. Though this is largely a case-in point statement, I'm …

There has been a lot of media attention about tonight's supermoon, but what's the real story?
The supermoon is really called a perigee moon. It's when the full moon occurs at perigee and the Moon is closest to us, on its orbit around the Earth.
When the full moon occurs at perigee it is about 50,000km closer to us than an apogee moon. Source: NASA
Ten years ago, NASA wrote one of the first blogs on the perigee moon, with the headline "But will anyone notice?" Two years ago, in 2011, the perigee moon was at its closest in almost 20 years. That's a pretty neat fact and NASA called it the super perigee Moon.
Well, since then it has taken off and now every perigee moon is earning the title of supermoon.
A full moon at perigee can be 14% bigger than a full moon at apogee, but it's only easy to see the difference when the moons are side-by-side.Source: NASA
The statistics sound amazing, over 10% bigger, almost 30% brighter, but that's in comparison to an apogee moon, which occurs when the full moon is furthest away from Earth. In truth, it's not really enough to notice. Especially when you consider that most full moons across the year occur somewhere between these two extremes.
So by all means, go out and marvel at the magnificent full moon as it rises tonight at sunset and have a think about our place in the Universe – now that's what I call super!

ok, i think either the helmet i bought is too big, or im just to scrawny...or is it supposed to be like that? what should i do to make my body size match the helmet?

ok, i think either the helmet i bought is too big, or im just to scrawny...or is it supposed to be like that? what should i do to make my body size match the helmet?
Got any pics? That might help us out a little bit, also what kind of bucket do you have?
no, i cant find my camera, and its a don post, but i had to heat it up in the oven to make it fit alittle better because it came really messed up...i dunno it just makes my head look about 4 inches fatter then the rest of my body lol
it's a don post? you're too small.
lol damn...well im 6 foot tall, so i guess its just cause im so skinny...perhaps i should get a thicker neck piece?
Look at some publicity photos and compare to that. Boba is kind of a bobble head anyways.
If you're 6 feet tall and wearing a Don Post if anything IT should be too small. Don Posts are undersized from the real deal. Did you try it on with the rest of the costume or just on it's own?
Is there any kind of padding in the helmet or a helmet liner? :confused
If you are wearing just your helmet, without the rest of the costume, it may look big. Pics would be the best to help you determine. If its a Don Post, you pretty much can't go smaller anyways
well, like i said, i did heat it up and widen it, it looks alittle more like the mystery helmet now (i think thats what its called, i dunno im a noob) anyway, i think it looks the way it does because i kinda have a giraffe neck, so i padded the vest alittle and it looks alittle better, i also added alittle more padding around the neck so it helped...and yes, the helmet has a liner. thanks for the help
Maybe you could get one of the Riddell mini helmets. :lol
Remember your helmet to body size will change when you get your full armor on.
If your helmet seems too small before you have tried it without armor, it will look even smaller.
If it looks too big for you without armor it will look smaller when you get your armor on.

Whew! It's getting almost too busy to blog already this early in the year...
Ok, my thoughts on Virtual economies affecting the real world is already starting to happen...
CNet had an article on Julian Dibbell's stance on Are Virtual Assets Taxable?" brings a real question to the face of the Internal Revenue Service, the US authority that taxes everyone (even people who don't live in the US).
Julian's story is on his virtual world of Ultima Online which coincidentally was one of the first graphical MMORPGs I used to play years ago. I spent many hours of my childhood playing the single-player Ultima games, so UO was a godsend.
In any case, the same problem exists as I mentioned before, in most if not all virtual worlds, such assets can be freely created and there is no hard limit to resources. This makes it easy to keep increasing the amout of "space" and "stuff" that's all around you. Continue to sell that virtual stuff for real money essentially amounts to devaluing real dollars.
Everyone considered it an amusing diversion but chuckled because "how many players can there be actually doing that?" According to the CNet article the combined number of players already ranks in the millions and the combined asset value (in terms of fair market value) could be in tens or hundreds of millions.
If you consider the number of online gamers is simply increasing as well as the number of titles, then the possibility for continual growth in that combined asset value is also real. How long before it really matters? Does it matter when that value is in the hundreds of millions now or soon? How about in the billions? Still no? How about in the trillions? Yes, or do you still think it just ridiculous?
This brings up another point in that there are still a limited number of human players. Possibly, but the ability to create in game bots to play for you is becoming more and more intelligent. Just the same, consider those bots, familiars, servants, etc. that are collecting assets for your main character. Now it becomes easier for a (really dedicated) person to amass assets at a faster rate.

IBM blogging versus developerWorks blogging
James Governor of RedMonk has a point in his blog
Wake up IBM: come out from behind developerworks!!!
If it isn't obvious already, developerWorks focuses on a mixed audience of programmers, sysadmins, architects, testors, etc. all those directly involved in the software development lifecycle. Hence, our blogs fall in the same cloud too.
IBMers do have other blogs both on the site and outside, but there isn't an area for "all IBM blogs" externally from the global IBM site yet. Honestly, that falls beyond dW's scope.

Online identities and avatars becoming commonplace
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  virtual_environments web_2.0 2,410 Views
One trend that sci-fi authors, role playing games, movies and multiuser environments have talked about for decades, is finally becoming more and more real.
Examine these parallel trends:
A. Dungeons & dragons / Role playing (non-computer) characters
-> text MUD games players
-> MMORPGs (e.g. Ultima Online, Everquest, World of Warcraft)
-> Non-RPG-based environments (The Sims Online, Second Life)
-> Military Tactical/Strategic representations
-> Telemetry and Remote Imaging
-> Battlefied information systems
-> Robotic military (Remote guided aircraft/UAV, bomb-detection robots, etc.)
C. Heroic Mythology (Greek myth, Viking sagas, Chinese myth)
-> People with secret super-hero identities (Batman, Daredevil, Spiderman)
-> Robotic personas (Voltron, Gundam & Macross series)
-> Virtual worlds (Tron, The Matrix trilogy)
D. User accounts
-> Web home pages
-> individual blogs
-> Group content/documents (wikis, forums, chats, etc.)
-> Spaces (combining Web pages, blogs, other Web 2.0 services)
-> Online personas
While different in form and utility, what it is pointing to is a change in how we perceive our identities in the rise of the online/alternate world.
Call them what you like, your blog, your avatar, your character, your robot, your role in the Matrix... It all points to having a separate identity for yourself in an environment other than the one you live in right now.
I tend to see this as a continuing trend where we will see more and more of ourselves participating in the online world on a regular basis.
However, I also think that people will start making distinctions. Most of us have different faces even in a typical day: there's a similar but distinct persona of you at home, at work, at school, with your family, with your friends, with the government, etc.
They are all you, just different aspects of you. With the online world, it's easier to make those different aspects, or even create new ones based on the online environment.
This comes back to developers in a real way. There is probably a "developer" identity that you put on (some of the time, or even much of the time for others).
What that developer identity needs is a environment of its own. In fact, traditionally we have that too:
> assembly language
-> programming languages
-> compilers & other developer tools
-> integrated development environments
-> online searching
-> online code repositories and exchanges
-> online group projects and identities
The X here is where it all comes together into an online space that is yours and that you have your developer avatar participate in, and that can interact in an online community or virtual world with many other developers.
In this virtual world, we're not talking about a game of fighting other developers (aka WoW style), but in a real sense of getting involved in projects, learning new ideas or meeting new people who are working on things you are interested in. It gives the setting for participating.
Once someone builds that participation environment, you as a developer can suddenly see or be exposed to the many opportunities that lie ahead. This opportunity can translate into dollars and jobs in the real world.

How to do a business of developing rather than publishing books online
The rise of Web 2.0 brings a new level of collaboration into the mindsets of the audience. Ideas which were previously taboo, are now actually being considered.
For example, the value of a book is traditionally considered to be in having access to the content of the book itself. For book publishers, this model means: get one or more authors, work on a book, then print and publish the thing, and distribute to bookstores where customers can buy them.
Usually, the ability a person has to examine the contents of the book is usually limited in time (enough time to read some of the book in a store), in content (having access to some portion of the content they can review), or based on the opinion of others.
While not the first, Robert Scoble helped change views while working on his book as a blog, by giving people access to its content while it is being developed online.
This idea is close to my heart and went into the reasoning behind why we needed the developerWorks Books series, and why I helped to start that as part of IBM Press. Somewhere in the following I think is the future of how books can be developed in something that benefits most parties.
It's similar to, although not exactly the same, as "open sourcing" the book since the philosophy of open source does not preclude selling the product. However, if you have access to the contents of the book for free, why would you buy it.
This puts traditional print publishers in a dilemma. Their business is based on selling the product, not giving it away online and hope someone still buys a copy.
To me, both ways seem a little extreme.
Developing a book takes a lot of time and effort and in some topics, by the time you finish writing, a lot may have changed. My guess is that most authors want not only the noteriety but hopefully would also like to get paid from the knowledge they put down. Call me a capitalist, but giving away a year or two of my life to write a book that may become outdated deserves some reward beyond the satisfaction that you've tried to impart some wisdom to the world.
In the fast changing online world, it makes a lot of sense to do some grass-roots promotion of the book by talking about the subject or showing people some of what you have been working on. This is in hopes that later, when you are done writing and editing, people will want to buy the finished product.
Therefore, I think there's a use-case somewhere in between. I say a use-case because I think this is something people will want to do online.
E.g., provide a group of authors with a tool for them to put together a document (say a Wiki), that they can all edit. Develop the outline, and start fleshing out some of the chapters and sections. Then introduce processes between the authors and an editor where they can bring in the editorial process. Then give access to a select audience or even a wide audience to some of the content so you can get some feedback and peer review. Finally, give access to the content and some knowledge about what others think of the book in progress to the book marketing group so they know what it is about and how its doing.
Thus, this package is a specific use-case for book development that involves an online tool for document development, perhaps another tool for discussion, access control to select or public audiences to portions of the content that you choose, ways to measure opinions and traffic to the publicly available/reviewable sections, and then finally a way to transfer the developed content into a format suitable for publishing/printing/distribution.
It involves giving away part of the book for free so that you get a drumbeat going as well as some feedback on coverage. In exchange, you get a better understanding of how the market may receive the work before it is even complete.
The step beyond is where it gets real interesting.
There's no real end to the book, if people are really interested. You could continue working on developing the content, adding new material, and exposing new material to others. You continue to build on a book without having to build a huge business case for a new book or a new edition, unless there really needs to be one.
Paul Dreyfus from our team is helping to make the dW series of books become real and there should be some interesting news coming out this year.
This idea above is so far just my own brainstorming. I doubt it is unique and probably already in force somewhere. It requires the expertise, experience and cooperation of a book publisher, an online publisher, and authors daring enough to try it out. From a Web 2.0 perspective, I think it makes for an interesting approach to team and even community driven content, and brings remixing to a whole new level (between print and online media).

Web 2.0 can give you an advantage to compete against the 1.5 billion people who joined the labor market
Paper is undeniably one of the most lasting technologies the world has ever known. Even now, in the digital age, companies have considered going back to "paper disks" because the medium actually can store data for much longer than magnetic media (50 yrs as opposed to 5-10 yrs). Now imagine what would have happened if more people learned how to use paper to record knowledge, and if that became more prevalent centuries before it became "mainstream".
In reading Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat, I came across a factoid which I thought was interesting (pg 182). There are about 1.5 billion new workers entering the labor force as a result of the flattening of the world and the entrance of new players to the game of globalization (i.e., BRICK countries = Brazil, Russia, India, China, Korea, etc.)
His idea of the three convergences include: convergence into a new playing field (because of the rise of technology), convergence of new players (as above), and new processes (to enable a globalized economy).
The impact of the new technologies not just for data delivery (the net) and content sharing (the Web), but also for collaboration and workflow (the Web 2.0) cannot be understated in this regard.
In other words, to play in a new globalized field, you will need to consider not just what resources are available locally but also remotely in other areas you haven't thought of.
To technology companies, this means that there is a need to closely examine how the collaboration, interaction and workflow tools required for a global environment needs to function. And it's not just the tools, but the ways on how to use them, the human processes and guidelines for interaction, and the pitfalls and traps to avoid.
Inevitably, there will be many different (often competing) technologies and products that will arise to fill this need. Friedman paraphrasing economic historian Paul A. David, there is a historical basis in a lag between the release of these innovations and the rise of proper processes for using these technologies.
For developers, the lesson to learn here is how to take advantage of these tools, understand in context which tools are more useful for their own needs, and encouraging others to adopt the tool.
Printing, for example, was develop many centuries ago in China; however, it was limited, even restricted, in use. If it was more open, I daresay that the world might have been even more technologically advanced that it is now. The same goes for Web 2.0 technologies.
Web 2.0: learn it, use it, and find your global advantage.

Web 2.0 focuses on the power of enabling individuals and that's where its customers lie waiting
Tim O'Reilly's paper on "What is Web 2.0?" brought to mind the issues of individual scale that many companies don't quite get.
Tim's description of why Google's AdSense works because it allows individuals to easily slap an ad onto their sites rather than the more complicated process of DoubleClick that requires formal contracts and agreements, gives one example of the power of mass of individuals.
The blogosphere's population of many individuals talking about different topics, rather than large PR teams in organizations, are starting to make a greater difference; ie. another example
The ability to remix applications, content and data in Web 2.0 for your own personal use gives yet another example.
The common ideas across all of these that I can see are:
- individuals (as opposed to whole companies/organizations) matter in Web 2.0
- the ability to work on things on a small or even personal scale (as opposed building applications for whole organizations) also matter
- the organizations that are built to focus on large customers rather than individuals may be missing out on Web 2.0.
My point is that to take a stance on Web 2.0 you have to think about empowering the individual not just big business partners, and large customers.
This is the ever ellusive "SMB" market (small-medium business) that more big companies are starting to take notice of. But this SMB goes even smaller down the scale to individual customers. I'd even call it the "SSB" (super-small business).
Now the question of whether this is something that works only for the mass/retail customer rather than organizations as a whole is still something everyone is trying to understand.
Scenario: a developer in an organization is looking for a particular item (content, data, or service), and finds it on the net somewhere to help complete their job task. Is that worth it to a supplier when the cost of offering that item
may not be very high? That is, what would make companies consider selling millions tiny widgets at $0.10 rather than one big widget to one customer for $10M?
The classic argument why some companies don't focus on mass sales at an almost retail level is the cost of offering that product is usually quite high, leaving low margins.
That would be perfectly true for a physical item that requires proper warehousing, distribution, retailing, sales tracking, mass advertising, etc.
Now consider pure-online products that can be delivered over the network. Are all those costs still true? Is there still this barrier of high cost overheads to produce something of the sort?
Companies geared to sell expensive goods to large customers may be so locked into their sales model that offering small scale services to many individuals just doesn't seem very appetizing.
That's a substantial mental hurdle for some organizations to overcome in Web 2.0.
PS: If you're thinking that going down to the SSB scale just sounds crazy, think again about the successes of Google, eBay and Amazon, and not just for retail customers but for their business partners, and their whole community of users.

Web 2.0 use cases are different than technologies
I wanted to point out that "use cases" are different than technology implementations in Web 2.0. I've mentioned this before but I really think people need to see the difference between the two points.
An "online diary" is a use case. Lot's of people have them. Before the rise of blog implementations we called them personal home pages. The actual technology evolved over time. There are now videoblogs, photoblogs, etc. but whatever the technology, they are still online diaries.
On the work-level, a "documentation development tool" can be implemented in a great many ways. It could even be implemented in separate application tools (e.g., a forum + a wiki, a workflow app + email + content management system, etc.) There are also many variations of this documentation development tool depending upon the needs. But across all of them the use cases have some common basis.
The idea is to figure out the common/base use cases that are useful and that can be replicated on a common basis such that it can be reused by many. That's where the real challenge lies. Technology after all will always come and go.
For that same reason, I consider the Web 2.0 as a superset of all these use-cases that everyone is so interested in. It is also why "Web 2.0 != blogging", "Web 2.0 != wikis", or any one specific technology. It is the sum of all the ways we interact with the Web under the new common aspects/principles of Web 2.0 (see end of this post).

Web 2.0 on Wikipedia
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  web_2.0 virtual_environments 2,036 Views
The Web 2.0 entry on Wikipedia gives a snapshot of the many different technologies and topics that exist around it. Take a look at the image they provide:
From Wikipedia, 2006
The Wikipedia entry focuses more on the technologies behind Web 2.0 although it does give some description of the social impact behind it.
I consider this the difference between looking at the invention of the automobile itself versus what automobile-based transportation has done for the world. E.g., inside and outside a car there are many technological innovations: engine, transmission, electrical controls, ergonomics, safety structure, comfort systems, the highway system, etc.
But the impact of this mode of transportation is much wider: the trucking/containerization/delivery industry, suburbization of society, learning to drive (a right of passage of life for many teenagers), leisure travel, car racing, commuting and even telecommuting, etc. are things that have risen from exploding gas within a metal box to turn gears and push carts.
For that same reason, you can certainly be fascinated by the wonders of cars (I certainly spend many hours watching Speed Channel and reading car magazines), but the real impact of having the automobile is so much more.
I see this same difference in Web 2.0 technologies and the value of Web 2.0 itself.

What is Web 2.0?
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  web_2.0 virtual_environments community 2,293 Views
I'm asked to explain what the Web 2.0 question often enough these days. There are plenty of things that have been put under this umbrella but rather than technologies it is the idea behind it that's most significant.
First of all what's "Web 1.0"?
This generally refers to the state of what the Web was primarily used for: a (mostly) consume-only service to access information. Even with all the many applications surfaced through the Web, the majority of the Web is still site for reading, gathering, and consuming information. The number of consumers is much greater than the number of producers.
To make the distinction, the thought behind "Web 2.0" is to instead make "producers" out of the majority of the users of the Web. Now, users not only visit the Web to gain information but also can contribute to the wealth of information that's out there.
It's a democratization of the Web if you will, allowing people not just to express their thoughts on their work, their lives, their emotions, etc. It is not just creating new written content, but contributing by taking existing data and "remixing" them to produce new content. It is also building application services that can work on data or app services that others produce.
Thus in the new world of "Web 2.0", people become producers of original and remixed data, content, and services.
There are quite a few books coming out around the topic of Web 2.0 and by leading literary minds like Dan Gilmor, and Thomas L Friedman. The topic is related to a number of ideas that can raise a lot of controversy including: freedom of expression, ownership of material produced, the right to use information and services of others, legal liability, and even globalization.
Web 2.0 existed from the very beginning of the Web itself, at least in concept. You could create home pages from very early on and even HTTP had rudimentary means to PUT and POST data. However, it was not until the rise of newer technologies that put it into the hands of the masses, and acknowledged significant impact on real-world issues that it really hit the mainstream.
With such a hotbed of activity, its no wonder that everyone wants to know more about how it applies to what they do:
As with any "gold rush", everyone is out to claim their stake in this. For some this rush is about new software. For others its about making yourself heard (and famous). For yet others, its about connecting with others of like mind.
Some common aspects I've observed:

An Aisle Seat at the State of the Union Is No Easy Task
WASHINGTON—To reach the podium for his State of the Union address tonight, President Barack Obama will enter the House of Representatives chamber at about 9 p.m. and make his way down the center aisle.
That's where a group of lawmakers will be waiting for him, having staked out their seats many hours in advance. Known by Washington insiders as "aisle huggers" or "aisle hogs," they claim seats along the center aisle well before the speech for the chance, in front of millions of television viewers, to shake hands with the president and perhaps share a private word.
Seats are awarded on a first-come basis, so lawmakers have to show up early and wait patiently in the otherwise empty room. Rep. Sanford Bishop (D., Ga.), who had occupied an aisle seat by 10 a.m. Tuesday, brought an iPad and several newspapers.

State of the Union
"My constituents express a great deal of pride in knowing and being able to recognize their representative being there with the president," he said. "They tell me they'll be looking for me in my seat."
Mr. Bishop said he had secured an aisle seat for each of the last three presidential addresses.
Technically speaking, lawmakers aren't supposed to save their seats for the speech. But by noon on Tuesday, some members had used coats and bags to secure their places.
Former Rep. Dale Kildee (D., Mich.), who had been one of the regulars before he retired earlier this year, said he had snagged an aisle seat for every State of the Union address since Jimmy Carter was delivering them.
"You're shaking hands with someone who, under our Constitution, has a great deal of power," Mr. Kildee said.
President George W. Bush once asked Mr. Kildee how he managed to get a spot on the aisle year after year. "I told him, 'I just get there early,' " Mr. Kildee said.
Mr. Kildee's nephew, Dan Kildee, won his uncle's seat in the House but doesn't plan on taking a seat near the aisle. "Congressman Kildee does not anticipate getting there as early as his uncle did," spokesman Mitchell Rivard said.
An aisle encounter with the president lasts only a few seconds, but the bond it can create is valuable, Mr. Bishop said. During one of Mr. Bush's speeches, Mr. Bishop, a Democrat, stood up and applauded during a reference to the military that pleased mostly Republicans. After the speech, Mr. Bush singled him out.
"As he came back up the aisle after the speech, he said to me, 'I saw you stand up,' " Mr. Bishop said. "He had seen me."
In 2012, as Mr. Obama made his way down the aisle, he gave a shout-out to Rep. Eliot Engel (D., N.Y.), another regular face along the aisle who was packed in a tight crowd. "I was wondering," Mr. Obama said. "Where's Eliot?"
An interaction with the president can also backfire, though. When Ohio Republican Jean Schmidt lost a primary race last year, some pundits were quick to blame a peck she gave Mr. Obama after she had staked out an aisle seat for his 2012 address.
Many of the familiar faces from along the aisle of past years have retired or lost their re-election campaigns. Mr. Bishop said he was confident he would see new faces join him in the chamber.
"I'm sure we'll have some other members who are actively looking to occupy those seats," Mr. Bishop said.

Just saw M. Night Shyamalan's new movie The Happening with my lady this afternoon.
All I can say is wow, very interesting premise and explanation as the movie progressed.
I just found it really interesting because I got into similar topics of discussion in college before.
I thought it was a pretty good movie, and I like Zooey Deschanel and Mark Wahlberg who I both think did a good job.
Anyone else see it yet?
