Every year millions of investors are being cheated out of their hard-earned investment gains. The culprit: an insidious parasite. You can't see it, hear it or feel it. And you can't do anything about it until you see for yourself that...
Your Bank Account
Is Slowly
Bleeding to Death
Don't just sit by and watch it happen �
discover how to protect your wealth from the leech
that is draining away your stock market gains...
drop by drop.
Dear Fellow Investor,
Making money with common stocks and index funds has been tough in the last decade.
On January 3, 2000, the Dow closed at 11,357.51. On December 31, 2010, the Dow sat at 11,577.51� having hovered around that level for the past ten years. That means a full decade of investing in the index would have returned you a measly 1.9%.
Frankly, you would have been better off letting that money sit in a savings account.
But maybe you were one of the lucky ones making, say, a solid 3% in stock gains per year.
I hate to break it to you � but you still lost money. Capital gains tax and brokerage fees included, you actually paid for the privilege of owning stock.
How is that possible?
The simple answer: Your money is constantly losing value � year after year, month after month. Yet the steady drip-drain on your assets is so gradual that most investors never even realize it.
And in the last decade, the pace of this slow drain has vastly accelerated.
You see, your year-2000 dollar is only worth 77 cents today. From January 2000 to December 2010, it shed 23% of its value.
In other words, if you had stashed $10,000 under a mattress eleven years ago, today that $10,000 would only buy about $7,700 worth of goods. So effectively, you got robbed of $2,300.
The blood-sucking parasite responsible for this loss is� INFLATION. It's so insidious because it diminishes the purchasing power of your money, one dime at a time.
But right now I want you to know, all is not lost.
There's a way for you to protect your assets from dwindling away, and it's a beautifully simple solution. Trying to stop the runaway inflation train is an exercise in futility� but by making the trend your friend, you can easily outpace it.
Before we get to that, though, let me show you the root causes of inflation and what it can do to your net worth�
The U.S. Dollar: Backed by Hot Air
In our society, money has become such an abstract concept that is hard to grasp for the average American.
Gone are the days where money came in the form of solid silver, copper and gold coins, and there was no doubt about their value. Today we are dealing with paper money "created out of thin air."
And usually there isn't even any paper � because what analysts mean when they say the Fed is "printing money" is that it is adding a couple zeros on some electronic ledger. Indeed, today most of our money exists only as digits on a computer screen.
Let's examine some of the facts about money.
You probably know that until 1933, the United States was on a gold standard � that means, every dollar could be redeemed for physical gold at your local bank. That, of course, meant that the number of dollars that could be printed was finite� since there was only so much gold to go around. A virtual guarantee that the dollar would keep its purchasing power in the long run.
Then, in 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102, which effectively outlawed private gold ownership. And in 1971, Richard Nixon ended the last brittle connection between the dollar and gold. Now the world's reserve currency isn't backed by anything anymore � except the (rapidly waning) faith of the global community that the U.S. government is as good as its word.
The Bane of Inflation
A nation's money supply needs to be managed carefully, or the paper currency can be destroyed by inflation.
Let's look at a recent worst-case example, aptly described by Thayer Watkins of the Economics Department at San Jose State University:
Under Tito [who reigned as president from 1953 to 1980], Yugoslavia ran a budget deficit that was financed by printing money. This led to a rate of inflation of 15 to 25 percent per year. After Tito, the Communist Party pursued progressively more irrational economic policies. These policies and the breakup of Yugoslavia . . . led to heavier reliance upon printing or otherwise creating money to finance the operation of the government and the socialist economy. This created the hyperinflation.
[�] Between October 1, 1993 and January 24, 1995 prices increased by 5 quadrillion percent. This number is a 5 with 15 zeroes after it. The social structure began to collapse.
At its peak, inflation in Yugoslavia was running at over 37% per day � and prices were doubling every 48 hours.
That means if you bought a pack of chewing gum for a dollar on January 1, at an inflationary rate of 37% per day� by April 1 you'd need one hundred billion dollars to buy the same pack of chewing gum.
Now, let's say you were one of the super-rich and had a hundred billion dollars stashed away somewhere in a Swiss bank account. By April 1, at 37% inflation per day, the purchasing power of that staggering wealth would have shrunk to exactly one dollar, buying you� a pack of chewing gum!
While this is an extreme example, it makes it crystal-clear that inflationary monetary regimes punish savers and encourage spending.
And even though the "official" rate of inflation here in the U.S. is only 1.6% right now, according to some experts, the real inflation rate could be more than five times higher than the U.S. government cares to admit. You've seen it yourself, at the gas pump and in the grocery store.
That's why, as an investor, you need to make sure to find the smartest profit opportunities� just to keep pace with the continuous loss of purchasing power.
But who or what is causing this rampant inflation? The answer may surprise you...
The Fed: Merchants of Debt
I know it's hard to believe, but the institution that causes this parasitic drain on your net worth is the Federal Reserve.
Our very own central bank is perhaps the biggest culprit in destroying the U.S. economy� and your hard-earned wealth.
Running the printing presses day and night � now quaintly called "Quantitative Easing" � Ben Bernanke & Co. are hard at work diluting the value of the dollars already in circulation.
They do it to finance Washington's sky-high deficit spending� and to provide bailout money for bankrupt banks and failed corporations.
In a way, the U.S. government is like a junkie frantically looking for the next fix. And one of its dealers is the Fed, which exchanges its freshly printed (or digital) Federal Reserve Notes for U.S. Treasury bonds, the government's form of an IOU.For an idea of how much money the Federal Reserve has created out of thin air, look at the chart below from the St. Louis Fed:
You see that the monetary base - that means the amount of money in the economy � has grown from about $600 billion in 2000 to $2.2 trillion in 2010. In other words, in just ten years the money supply has nearly quadrupled.
And the more money is flooding the economy, the more the money supply is "watered down," and its value keeps diminishing.But you don't have to sit helplessly and watch how your net worth drops to next to nothing; help is literally just a mouse click away�
Let the Trend Hunters Work for You
A number of years ago, "investment guru" and financial author Doug Casey gathered some of the best financial minds this side of the Atlantic � for one explicit purpose: to bring subscribers in-depth analysis of budding big-picture trends and actionable recommendations to protect and multiply their wealth.
Doug Casey
Chairman Casey Research, Contrarian Investor, Acclaimed Financial Author, Public Speaker
If you have seen or listened to Doug live, you know why there's standing room only when he speaks at investment conferences all over North America. Not only has he become a living legend for his keen observations of the markets and his instinct for emerging trends, he is also famous � or should we say, infamous � for speaking his mind with few if any thoughts wasted on political correctness.
Doug literally wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil: Crisis Investing spent multiple weeks as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and became the best-selling financial book of its time.
Bud Conrad
Chief Economist
Bud is the data-crunching genius and analytical brain of the Casey Report team. Convinced that a chart says more than a thousand words, he spends late nights exposing the financial schemes of governments and central banks. Educated at Yale and Harvard, Bud has been a futures investor for nearly 30 years and a full-time investor for more than 10. If you're lucky, you may run into him at Golden Gate University, where he teaches graduate courses in investing.
Terry Coxon
Sr. Editor, Economist
Terry Coxon is the man with the big-picture plan. Well versed in the ins and outs of economic theory, he knows that Situation A combined with Catalyst B will inevitably result in Consequence C. Terry is the author of two books, one of which � Inflation-Proofing Your Investments � he co-authored with the late Harry Browne, a legendary free-market libertarian writer and twice-presidential candidate. For more than two decades, he served as the president of the Permanent Portfolio Fund he founded, a mutual fund that invests in precious metals as well as stocks and bonds.
David Galland
Managing Director, Managing Editor
Aside from being one of Doug Casey's closest confidants, David Galland is the managing director of Casey Research and the managing editor of The Casey Report, providing razor-sharp insight into the economy and markets with a libertarian slant. He has extensive experience in the financial world � from years of running the famous New Orleans Investment Conference, to co-founding EverBank, one of the greatest and most solid successes in online financial services. Being exceptionally gifted in getting startups off the ground, he was also a founding partner and director of the Blanchard Group of Mutual Funds.
If you watch FOX or CNBC business news, or listen to radio shows like Jim Puplava's Financial Sense Newshour, you've probably experienced one or more of our Trend Hunters live already � because they're in high demand for commentary on the economy and the markets. [For a taste, here is an interview with Bud Conrad on 2011 as the year of discontent, and why inflation is coming.]
Currency debasement through out-of-control money printing and its fatal consequences for our economy � and your wealth � is only one factor Doug Casey and his colleagues keep a close eye on� but it's one of the most important.
In their monthly advisory, The Casey Report, they make it their mission to present investors with solid inflation hedges� from low-risk, steady gainers like large-cap stocks and funds, to more risky but potentially highly rewarding small-cap companies and option plays.
Their diligent work is a lifeline for inflation-beleaguered investors � and for less than a night on the town, you can enlist their services for a full year.
But before I extend that offer to you, you should know�
How Bad Is Inflation Right Now?
Inflation is not just felt by investors; its slimy tendrils are creeping into every nook and cranny of the economy. Due to the Fed's excessive printing, more money is chasing fewer goods� and the prices of those goods � from food to oil, to clothing � are going up, up, up.
No politician likes to admit he's a failure. Therefore, since the 1970s U.S. administrations have come up with rather "creative" accounting methods to maintain the appearance of low consumer price inflation.
One such method is "consumer substitution" in the basket of goods that make up the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Simply, if the price of filet mignon skyrockets, the Bureau of Labor Statistics replaces it with ground beef. After all, isn't it reasonable to assume that people will buy cheaper items when their favorites get too expensive?
Voil�, the price of beef stays low� or is even lower than before.
And thanks to the CPI's "quality adjustment," purportedly neither furniture nor clothing nor automobiles have risen in price for many, many years now.
Housing costs look great too � according to the Owners' Equivalent Rent index, which calculates the cost of shelter as "the implicit rent that owner occupants would have to pay if they were renting their homes."
Their math goes like this: Housing prices are falling, hence you're paying less for your home.
It's so stupid, it's hard to believe.
Of course there are good reasons why the government does what it does: It makes politicians look better in the eyes of voters� prevents the general population from rioting in the streets� and allows Washington not to raise Social Security payouts, which are supposed to be annually adjusted for changes in cost of living.
Currently, the U.S. government states a puny 1.6% consumer price inflation. Nothing to worry about, right?
But thanks to a virtual "Robin Hood" of economics, we know the grim truth.
John Williams, an acclaimed economist and advisor to many Fortune 500 companies, uses the old-fashioned accounting methods from the days before official figures were twisted and warped to the U.S. government's liking. You could call him an economic whistleblower who keeps revealing the actions of the "man behind the curtain."
Below, compare John's real inflation numbers (in blue) to the fairytale figures the government calls a CPI report:
According to John's calculations, real CPI is in the 9% range right now. It's pretty obvious that there's a huge discrepancy between the government-tweaked numbers and what's really going on.
Knowledge Is Your Best Weapon
While there isn't much you can do about rampant inflation, investing wisely and making the most out of every dollar you have is just common sense. And if you do, you can indeed stay one step ahead of the slow destruction of the dollar.
To accomplish that, you need to keep yourself informed on:
If it sounds like a lot of work � well, it is. Fortunately, you don't have to do it on your own. Let the editors of The Casey Report do the heavy lifting for you, and let them be�
Your Eyes and Ears on the Ground
Every month, this star-studded cast takes apart and examines the economic apparatus of the United States (and other countries) to see what makes it tick� to find the grit in the gears that could bring the whole machinery to a screeching halt, and to discover the incredible opportunities hidden within today's complex economies.For that purpose, they frequently consult experts from their vast network of connections � such as
From the knowledge gained, the editors then devise the best investment strategies for Casey Report subscribers. Because, as Doug likes to say, every crisis involves opportunity as well as danger.
I think you'll be thrilled with what The Casey Report has to offer�
Make the Trend Your Friend:
Crisis Investing with the Pros
|American financial structure will be threatened... As people who bought houses with floating-rate mortgages and little money down slip into default, millions of dwellings will hit a no-bid market. And when hundreds of billions in loans go bad, the institutions holding them and the whole American financial structure will be with a deflationary collapse.
Doug Casey, October 2006
Near the peak of the housing market, when financial TV talking heads were falling over each other praising the "never-ending increase in home values," and many Americans used their homes as cash cows, Doug Casey and his team predicted that a major crisis was imminent.
Of course, back then barely anyone was listening � except for those subscribers who followed the editors' advice.
After a long and very eye-opening Casey Report interview with real estate entrepreneur Andy Miller, Doug and his team recommended shorting real estate investment trust Emcor (EME), closing the position with a quick two-month gain of 87% for subscribers.
In the summer of 2007, they advised shorting bond insurer MBIA � a company that stood squarely in the way of the approaching avalanche � with exceptional results: a 93.3% gain for Casey Report subscribers within 10 months.
But they didn't stop there. They correctly predicted the devastating credit and currency crisis we are now witnessing, which has led to an overall economic decline in the United States that most of us have never seen in our lifetimes.
And there's much more to come. As a subscriber to The Casey Report, you will be privy to all the analysis� all the early warnings� all the profit opportunities this team of experts provides.
As an example, here are the contents of the January 2011 edition:
Retired at 46... Thanks to Casey Research
"I've been with Doug since the beginning. His picks have made me tons of money over the years, enough so that I have been 'retired' since 1992, at age 46, and have done nothing but invest since then."
- Bob O.
200% Gains... Because of Casey Research
"Casey Research is the best I know of. I have been a subscriber to Casey for a number of years, with gains that average over 200%."
-John H.
Casey Research "truly has altered my life"
"I started with about $50k and it grew to about $350k. I also manage my parents' account; it started with about $250k and grew to over $1.1 million. It truly has altered my life for the better. P.S. I'm only 33 years old."
-Joseph M.
"The first dollar I invested is up over 1,000%!!"
"I have been a subscriber of Mr. Casey's International Speculator for over 10 years, but have only actively followed his advice for the last seven years. Over the last seven years, my investments have risen by an average 42.9% per year. . . The first dollar I invested is up over 1,000%!! Keep up the great work."
-Jim G.
"Six-fold growth..."
"I have had six-fold growth in a portfolio that I consider mostly positioning for an anticipated run-up...
I am a middle-aged spinster caring for an aged parent, and thanks to Doug's help I will not have to 'inherit the earth.' I've got a secret lifeline"
�Susan H.
That's a ton of valuable information � and that is just ONE SINGLE EDITION of The Casey Report, which usually runs more than 40 pages.

Hey all,
Just shot my first ducks, a couple bufflehead hens! I filleted the breast meat off (about the size of a chicken nugget apiece) and now I am wondering how to cook these up. I was thinking of just throwing them in a frying pan with some salt, pepper and butter, but I figured I'd ask on here for some tips first. Any help is appreciated.

I came across the super shadow web site tonight,how truthful is it?
I came across the super shadow web site tonight,how truthful is it?
Would you buy a used car from Uncle Sidious ?
Wow ! I haven't heard of that guy in YEARS - I didn't know he was still around
There have been a couple of threads pop p about him from time to time in years past. He's a liar. Period. I subscribed to his news letters back in '98 through '2000. You can take EVERYTHING he says with ZERO value. He's an attention monger, and an egotist. He's even gone as far as posting pictures of someone he said was his girlfriend/fiance, and it turned out to be someone else' wife or a cutout from a magazine or something
The dude is whacked
Supershadow is completely made up fake information. Don't believe him or his website.
I have to admit, some of the stuff he thinks up is pretty humorous.
In response to a question someone asked him:
"SuperShadow: How can any of you challenge Lucas? He has a mammoth financial net worth. It is impossible for Lucas to make mistakes. This was proven by the magnificence of the prequel trilogy."
For more info about that liar see the wookiepedia. If you want to laught for a while go to his page. What I can't understand is why with a lot of sites of information about Star Wars the people still believe everything he posts. And even he says that he is working in the new Indiana Jones movie.
oh my I also haven't seen this for like 4 years, he claimed at one point or still does that he has george lucas's script for 7,8 and 9. oh my he's also to the status of high clam lord

Every system has a different way to compromise it. That is half the fun in pentesting. If you are trying to gain password/bruteforce access to a system with services already enabled you go after the weakest one be it telnet,ssh,rdesktop or whatever.
If you are writing a exploit you use whatever shellcode you are the most comfortable with. In my case I love the meterpreter .dll and can do pretty much any thing I need with it including turning on rdesktop if I need it.

Hey all,
This is my first post on this forum and I want your spots!
I'll be coming from way down south (SEC Country) and will be hunting potholes in North Dakota.
If you will just send me a PM of your favorite hot spots where my redneck friends and I can kill a limit by seven, then start drinking and cutting donuts in the fields with our loud, jacked up trucks it would be greatly appreciated... In return, I will not say a word about it, but will talk about how hard we scouted and how much work we put in to kill the birds.....
I'm kidding about 99% of that! I'm not an internet scouter, I'm a DIY person who hates more than anything internet scouting. Just felt I would ease the tension before I say that we have a trip planned for North Dakota this year and I can't wait to see what that country is like. We will be in the Minot area hunting and hope to have a good time like everyone that does it right talks about. No donuts, not too much drinking, just gonna burn some gas looking for places to hunt, and hopefully kill a few ducks in the process. I've got some decent connections with some guys up there through family that is working up there so we decided to take the plunge and see what NoDak hunting is all about. Ya'll don't know how much excitement this trip in the making has made... You wanna see a real joke, try coming south and hunting public land with the bubbas and jim bobs..
Ya'll have a great day. Shoot me a PM and we will meet up and I'll make ya'll some good ole southern sweet tea when we are up there!

HERNDON, VA - After the best first quarter in the brands history, Audi today maintained its 2010 momentum with record April sales in the U.S.. For the month, sales of Audi cars and SUVs increased 32.9% compared to April 2009.
The April 2010 results were buoyed by record monthly sales for the Audi Q5 and the A5 Cabriolet, and they marked the second-best U.S. sales in any month for Audi. In April 2010, Audi sold 9,319 luxury cars and SUVs. This topped the previous record, set in 2007, of 8,106 vehicles sold. The best month for Audi in the U.S. was December 2006 when sales reached 11,897 vehicles.
Audi A3 sales jumped 144% from a year earlier. That gain was largely due to strong consumer demand for the A3 TDI model, which is the reigning 2010 Green Car of the Year. Another positive product story for Audi came from sales of the A6 luxury sedan which increased 105.2% over last April.
Consumers of luxury goods are clearly buying again, said Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen. As these buyers return to the car market they are seeking out cars representing substance, leading-edge engineering and sophisticated styling. Those priorities are the fundamental reason Audi has set record sales in three of the past four months.
Audi A5 continues its single-month sales record streak
The Audi A5 Cabriolets popularity continued to grow, setting a monthly sales record of 797 cars in April (including Audi S5 Cabriolet results). In April, the overall A5 model line (including S5 and A5/S5 Cabriolet sales) posted a year-over-year increase of 171.5%. Without the A5/S5 Cabriolet models (which werent available in April 2009), sales for the A5/S5 line increased a robust 54.3% from a year earlier.
Audi TDI technology convinces consumers to go green
Consumers are continuing to embrace TDI clean diesel technology from Audi in extraordinary ways. The Audi A3 TDI now accounts for 58.7% of the overall A3 model mix. Overall, A3 sales rose 144%, meaning sales of the TDI models are incremental since their introduction to the U.S. market late last year. The Audi Q7 TDI SUV continues to account for 36.2% of the Q7 line, a result thats largely limited by supply of the TDI models.
Audi Q5 also achieves best-ever sales mark
Since its debut in 2009, the Q5 has become the brands second-best performing model, trailing only the A4 lineup. Sales of the Q5 crossover vehicle reached 1,910 units in April, an increase of 60.2% from last April.
The positive sales results for Audi in the U.S. came as AUDI AG reported its operating profits globally in the first quarter rose 30% to 478 million euros (roughly $632.7 million). Double-digit growth rates in all global regions over the first three months of 2010. In the first quarter, AUDI AG reported operating revenues of 8,260 million euros (roughly $10.9 billion).
Audi CPO sales results
Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales slipped due to limited supplies. Audi recorded 2,285 CPO units sold in April, off 12.2% from April 2009.
- 2010 A4 numbers include Audi A4 sedan, Avant, and S4 models. 2009 A4 numbers include A4 cabriolet, which has been discontinued.
- 2010 A5 numbers include Audi A5 cabriolet and coupe and S5 cabriolet and coupe models. 2009 A5 numbers do not include the cabriolet models.
- A6 includes Audi A6 sedan, S6 sedan and A6 Avant models.
- A8 includes Audi A8 sedan, A8L sedan, and S8 sedan models.
- TT includes Audi TT coupe and TT roadster models.
Audi of America, Inc. and its 271 U.S. dealers offer a full line of German-engineered luxury vehicles. AUDI AG is among the most successful luxury automotive brands globally. During 2009 Audi outsold all other luxury brands in Europe, while in the U.S. market Audi posted the largest market share gain of any luxury automotive brand. Over the next few years, AUDI AG expects to spend nearly $2 billion annually on new products and technology.

Missing rafter found, pulled from river in Norwich
Norwich — Reports of a missing rafter on the Shetucket River Thursday evening led to a search and eventual rescue of a man found in distress in the water in the area of the East Main Street bridge, police said.
Police said a man called in at 8:49 p.m. to report that his buddy, who had been drinking, had not returned after setting out in a raft several hours earlier near the Eighth Street Bridge in Greeneville.
Police sent officers out to search the Shetucket River and called in the city fire department to prepare for a possible water rescue.
Norwich Police Officer Christopher Chastang spotted the man, who was not on a raft, and was able to grab him and haul him onto the bank of the river, said Officer Greg McDonald.
The man was taken by American Ambulance for evaluation at The William W. Backus Hospital.

Susan Dromey Heeter's Down to Earth: Keeping the car stocked with summer essentials
BY SUSAN DROMEY HEETER | July 22. 2013 4:23PM
And last week, I spotted another mom doing much the same — escorting children around, piloting the mom van, doing the drill. But when I saw her hand out several cold bottles of water to policemen directing traffic around a construction site in Dover, I was in awe. The faces on those officers on that Tuesday of 95 degree heat expressed raw gratitude. Their smiles were as bright as the sweltering sun.
In a New Hampshire winter, I carry an extra blanket, an ice scraper, cross country boots, skis, and an extra jacket. I like to think I'm prepared for anything that may come up: There may be an opportunity to do a quick ski through woods before grocery shopping; that definitely enhances my own life. Alas, I may come across an accident and a blanket would be handy for another life. I may be in an accident and someone may need a jacket AND blanket to stay warm.
And may your life be enhanced by your own car essentials.

text: Assuming this is the correct place for this thread as it didn't really fit anywhere else. Any soccer fans out there? World Cup begins in 9 days and I get the feeling it's gonna be a good one. USA has their work cut out for them trying to get out of a group with Germany, Portugal and Ghana. The first game against Ghana will be key and then pray for a tie between Germany and Portugal. Other tough games in the opening stage: Spain vs Netherlands (6/13) England vs Italy (6/14) Brazil vs Mexico (6/17) Uruguay vs England (6/19) Depending on how these go, there might be some really tough and exciting games going on the week of 6/23. So, who do you like? Which team do you have your money on? Do you think USA will get out of the group stage? I like Brazil's chances. Home court advantage and all that. Hoping for a Latin America showdown in the Final with Brazil vs Argentina. It'll require complete focus and a lot of luck for USA to come out of the group stage, and I just don't see it happening. My Cinderella team is Bosnia-Herzegovina. I have a lot of Bosnian friends. This is the very first World Cup ever for them and boy can they use some good news nowadays. I hope they edge out Iran and Nigeria and get the 2nd seed behind Argentina. Planning to watch the England-Italy game with a bunch of Italian and British friends. I'm looking forward to egging them on against each other. It oughta be fun.

Gossens Named Assistant AD for Development
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Appleton native Megan Gossens has been named the Assistant Athletics Director for Development, Green Bay Director of Athletics Ken Bothof announced Tuesday. Bothof also announced the hiring of Lauren Lepkowski as the department's Director of Athletics Special Events.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Megan and Lauren to our department," said Bothof. "I know our fans, ticket holders and donors will enjoy getting to know these two new members of our team.
"Megan brings a wealth of college athletics experience and a passion for helping student-athletes. She is excited to be back working in Northeast Wisconsin and her knowledge of our community and college athletics development will be valuable assets to Green Bay Athletics and the Phoenix Fund."

"I'm thankful to Ken Bothof and the search committee for this opportunity, and I could not be more excited for the chance to work with an athletics department in a community that means so much to me. I look forward to getting to know fans and donors and teaming up to help our Phoenix student-athletes and programs to succeed both academically and athletically."
Gossens has eight years of prior experience in college athletics, including a three-year stint at Akron serving as the Director of the Z-Fund from 2008- 2011. She oversaw all aspects of Z-Fund member events while maintaining a donor portfolio of 150 prospects. Gossens also served as the liaison between the Varsity A Association and the athletics department while sitting on the association's executive board.
From 2005- 2008, Gossens worked as a program assistant in the University of Wisconsin Football Office, planning and organizing fundraising and social events for members of the football booster club, handling all autograph and community requests and organizing bowl game travel for donors. Gossens started at Wisconsin as an intern in the athletics ticket office in 2004-05.
Lepkowski comes to Green Bay after spending the past five years working at Michigan State University. She has worked since June 2011 as an alumni relations coordinator for the Michigan State College of Communication Arts and Sciences. In that role, Lepkowski served as the lead coordinator for 20 events annually and directed a volunteer board composed of alumni and donors.
Lepkowski graduated with a bachelor's degree in communication from Michigan State in May 2011. During her time as an undergraduate student, Lepkowski worked as a courtside hospitality supervisor for basketball and as an office assistant for the Spartan Fund in the athletic development department.

Oregon's Laika studio, maker of fine "handcrafted animation," was responsible for "Coraline," simply the best stop-motion animated film of the past decade. It follows up with "ParaNorman," another scary, silly and sweet Goth-lite fable that attempts to wrest the territory back from Tim Burton. ...

Yes, I'm still a Macintosh person, so I prefer to play (and review) games that run on the Macintosh. However, I now own Virtual PC (an emulator), and a Playstation, and even -- honest, I barely use it -- a Windows box. So that range has increased some. The label "PC game" indicates a game which is available only for PCs.
If you have any suggestions for games I should play and review, feel free to email me. Of course I reserve the right to spend my money where I like. (Equally of course, if you give me a free game, I'll be happy to play it. Hey, it's happened before.)
I also have a page of quick takes -- one-paragraph comments on games that I never wrote full reviews of.

It's been a nice few weeks of June-uary weather in Oregon, and this week we are prepping for our season opener against Cal. As no surprise to anyone the school year started off with some of the worst weather. There were biblical amounts of rain that eventually turned into the nice weeks of January before the weather turns awful again.
The preseason consisted of going over the base offenses and defenses, basically putting in everything we need to know in order to play a game. The last few weeks we were lucky enough to have Western Oregon come to Eugene for a game. Recent Oregon grad Justin Eckenroad is the head coach there, so it was great to see a Duck spreading his wings to another program.
Western Oregon is rocking the candy-cane uniforms. On a quick side note, our warm-up tape is pretty solid this year, with 80's bangers such as "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Kenny Loggins' "Highway to the Danger Zone," best known from the movie Top Gun. The only noticeable song missing is "Heart's on Fire" from the Rocky IV montage.
Last week 503Lax came down and played us in what was a really competitive game. 503Lax is a men's club team from Portland that consists of Oregon greats and they've been tearing it up in their league. These guys are not pushovers, and I want to emphasize that.
Take a quick look at these shoes. I'm a huge sneaker head. I love Nike shoes to an almost unhealthy level, and I have to point out how cool these shoes are. These are 2010 Hyperdunks that were used to raise funds and awareness to fight cancer.
Now as a team we are heading in to our first game week and I know I can speak for everyone that we are excited to get the season underway. We're coming together as a team and all the new players have been great additions.

Cocaine production is reaching new heights even as the American led drive to prohibit use of drugs grows more intense. It is estimated more than 750 tons of cocaine are being shipped from the Andes which has led to gang wars, peasants driven from their land and corruption taking over entire countries. Last year at least 6,000 were killed in drug related violence and after two months this year about 1,000 are dead. A new route appears to be developing between South America and West Africa which is known by its latitude, Interstate 10. Cesar Gavira, co-chair of the Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy, says bluntly, "We consider the war on drugs a failure because the objectives have never been achieved."
Perhaps, someone can provide any evidence that prohibiting use of drugs has achieved its purpose to making it impossible for anyone to purchase drugs. The prohibition of drugs has created criminal cartels, raised government corruption to new heights, and has not prevented anyone desiring drugs to get some. The story of the 1920s proved the Prohibition does not work, but people in 2009, still believe it can. Dream on.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The Cartels, really are a superior binding to the mutants and a good match for the TRS. My assumption is that you have not gotten the Cartels setup correctly on either board. Sounds like it doesn't matter since you are going with the mutants, glad you were able to get them dialed in.
Quick update...since I have learned quite a bit for the forum.
I strapped on the 2011 Cartels and quickly remembered why I was so excited about trying to find a rear entry binding. While my heelside turns felt super responsive I just never felt comfortable while on my TRS. It was the same last year while still riding my 1999 Santa Cruz (I know, super old board). I rode them for a couple of days and then decided to try the GNU Mutants one more time...however this time I was going to try and get them setup correct with a local board shop. I did this yesterday and WOW, I fell in love with them. There are some things I don't like (they aren't that much faster for one), but my confidence while riding shot through the roof and I just felt like they were right for me.
|Yea, the Gnu's were a mistake. I hate to say it, but they are garbage. If you've only ridden them 6 days you may want to talk to the shop and see if they are willing to help you out in any way on a swap or credit. It could go either way, but it doesn't hurt to ask. If they do work with you on the bindings expect to take a loss on them. Your Cartels will be a great match for the TRS.
2012 GNU Mutant switch with 2011 Cartels???
So this year I went out and got a whole new setup, and with advise from the board I picked up a 159 Lib tech TRS and GNU Mutants. Most people on here weren't sure about the bindings, and after riding them for 6 days I am starting to think I made a $250 mistake. The good thing is that last year my bindings of 10+ years broke and I bought 2011 Cartels at the base of my mountain and still have them to put on my new TRS.
Is this a good idea? I feel like I have the GNU's setup wrong and at the end of the day I am not sure they are that much faster strapping in?
Also, how can I tell if the GNU's are setup properly? I am the kind of person that just straps in and rides (very little park) and have been doing so for 16+ years...so I am not even sure how the response on turning is suppose to feel. All I do know is that something doesn't feel right and it is starting to become noticeable while riding.
Thanks in advance for any and all comments...the good, the bad, and the ugly!

One in every 10 homes has a leak that is wasting at least 90 gallons of water per day
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense program encourages Americans to check and replace leaky plumbing fixtures and sprinkler systems, helping households save more than 10,000 gallons of water per year and as much as 10 percent on utility bills.
"Easy-to-fix household leaks waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide, which is equal to the amount of water used by more than 11 million homes," said EPA Acting Administrator for the Office of Water Nancy Stoner. "We're not just wasting water; families also lose money from leaks with higher utility bills. That's why Fix a Leak Week is so important, and why we encourage everyone to take a few simple steps that add up to make a significant positive impact."
In just 10 minutes, businesses and homeowners can: check winter water bills and fixtures for water waste; twist and tighten pipe and hose connections; and consider replacing broken or inefficient fixtures with WaterSense-labeled models.
If winter water usage for a family of four exceeds 12,000 gallons per month, it's likely that the home has a leak problem. Here are some easy tips:
WaterSense, a partnership program sponsored by EPA, seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by offering people a simple way to use less water with water-efficient products, new homes, and services. Since the program's inception in 2006, WaterSense has helped consumers save 287 billion gallons of water and $4.7 billion in water and energy bills.

Bill Kristol starting "reformist" nonprofit to "recraft Republican fiscal policies"?
posted at 2:01 pm on January 7, 2013 by Allahpundit
Just a rumor for now, but worth flagging given his pull with establishment Republicans and the fact that it jibes with Friday's news about the Beltway GOP trying to exert more influence on the party after November's Senate debacle.
Plus, Kristol and his allies have been talking about starting a "reformist" organization to recraft Republican fiscal policies and champion a rising generation of Republicans, such as Kristol favorites Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. The hypothetical group, modeled on the defunct Democratic Leadership Council, would join an expanding network of media platforms and nimble nonprofits for Kristol and mark an ambitious expansion into domestic policy…
Kristol declined to comment on the DLC-like nonprofit idea but suggested the GOP will continue to struggle unless it fundamentally rethinks its fiscal policy. "The Republican Party has never come to grips with the financial crisis that happened on Bush's watch and has this kind of stale view of tax policy," he said. "It's a new moment with the debt and the deficits and the financial crisis in the background."
That's … awfully vague, but given Kristol's position on tax hikes on the rich during the fiscal-cliff kabuki, I take it the group will be more flexible on new revenue than grassroots conservatives are. Maybe would-be presidential nominees like Rubio and Ryan will be willing to associate themselves with that if it's part of a broader tax-reform package, but I dunno. Rubio's vote against the fiscal-cliff deal suggests he'll stick to conservative orthodoxy. The other problem for a group like this is that, if it does move conspicuously to the center a la the DLC, it'll quickly gain a rep among the base for being RINO HQ. Will any 2016 contender want to associate themselves with that, even if it's a gateway to making nice with Washington power players? The only serious candidate I can think of who might is Christie, just because he's already building a brand pitched more to rank-and-file Republicans than committed conservatives. If Ryan, Rubio, Jindal, and Rand Paul all jump in four years from now and split the tea-party vote, a centrist like Christie might have an advantage by consolidating the moderates. And a moderate group with big names and big money attached could be key in helping him do that.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by KGREG, May 28, 2010.
Once Sammy Mejia is on their Summer League team we will know whats going on.
Now this is interesting: Hornets' Paul draws interest as draft nears - NBA - Yahoo! Sports I wonder if the Cousins thing doesn't work out we could package Tay or Rip or Gordon + Daye or JJ + 7th pick for CP3?
Golden State is sitting in a Golden position, it's a 6 player draft and they're sitting at #6. Anybody who is available at #6 will fill their team needs. One of the following is going to land in their lap Greg Monroe or Demarcus Cousins, they really have us by the balls. Kudos to Joe for going hard after the #4 pick (at least that's what the rumor is), get err done Joe. Now, Minn wants Wes Johnson, I'm sure they'd trade down if they knew they could get their guy Johnson at #7 and they could get an additional player off our roster, but again, no way GS lets that happen. So if you're the T-Wolves would you bypass Wes Johnson for one of the following combinations, because that's essentially who they're trading:Rip & Aminu - or - JohnsonTay & Aminu - or - JohnsonJJ & Aminu - or - JohnsonDaye & Aminu - or - JohnsonCV31 & Aminu - or - JohnsonI mean just how bad do they want Wes Johnson??? Now as far as I'm concerned we have $31M in contracts (Rip, Tay, CV31, Max, Wilcox) I'd gladly give away just for Capp Spayce, and if it lands us the #4 pick too, that would simply be a bonus. In short, swing for the fences Joe, you're in a can't lost situation here unless they want JJ AND Daye......
NOPE! Collison is available, not CP3....Now, who you wanna move for Darren Collison?
New Orleans don't really want to take back salary so Tay is the obvious answer. Stojakovic is on his last legs so he would fit at the 3. Throw in Bynum too.
We dont have Bynum to throw in, he's a free agent albeit a restricted one. The mere tought of a Collison/Gordon backcourt scares the begeezus out of me.
Oh yeah right, sorry. Looked at the wrong year for Bynum. Forget that then. Good scare or bad scare?
Bad scare, like that kid in that movie The 6th Sense, but instead of dead people I see .200 winning percentages
! The big question is.. What Minnesota wants? Prince? Hamilton? CV31? Maybe Stuckey? Maybe Jerebko and/or Daye? If we could give Hamilton + CV31 + Maxiell + Wilcox + Summers + 36th pick in exchange of the 4th pick + 16th pick or 23rd pick + some bad players with high salaries and a few more years before being free agents to match the salaries in the trade.. I will do it (who doesn't, right?) I know I'm dreaming, but if we could keep our 7th pick an get the 4th, that would be huge.
If Minnesota is trying to woo The General in anticipation of a big offseason acquisition, they can forget it. Lee stays.
PISTONS: Wakeup Call Let's pretend that CV really is in the picture. It's true, no matter what our eyes saw from him last season, that his season was ruined - totally decimated - by injuries. We saw a shell of the athlete that he should have been last season, and based on this article, he's going to be a better and healthier athlete this season - perhaps even a guy who's signficantly better on D. If that's the case, CV is a borderline all-star PF; no question he has major talent. We'll see - I don't trust CV yet, but it's unfair not to include him in the mix because of those injuries. That leaves us with a lot of redundancy among CV, Daye and Summers and JJ. I'm not saying they're the same player. But they are competing for a lot of the same minutes at the 2 (Daye and even Summers there) with Gordon and Rip, the 3 (with Daye, Summers and JJ) competing with Tay for as long as he's here and the 4. Joe D has got serious assets to trade. I firmly believe that we're the frontrunner in any trade possibilities to move up in the draft - or even to put together a package for a team willing to trade a top PG (Paul or Collison in NJ - one of those two guys WILL be traded this summer).
A healthy CV is a borderline all star if defense, passing and rebounding weren't important as his position.
He's not that bad..don't forget conditioning
I can't imagine Hornets would trade CP3 that cheap. After all, he is argubly a top 2 PG in the league and their franchise player or I would even go so far as to say that he is the franchise. I'd love it if they did it though. In my book Paul is slightly ahead of Williams so going from Stuck to the best PG in the league is pretty decent move.
Looks like Aminu is going to be the best talent available at 7.
Here's how bad I want the #4 Pick (Cousins) I'd give them Rip, Tay, #7pk, and next years 1st rd pick. We get a young big and $24-Million in Capp Spayce!!!!! Hellooooooo D-Wade and David Lee......Ok I'm gonna wake up now.
I can't stop dreaming, too
Well Joe's former partner in crime just made a trade, Milw gets Maggette and GS gets Charlie Bell and Gadzuric. Pretty good move by both teams, Maggs contract is UGLY!!!!
I wonder if this means they are clearing room to draft Aminu? This means either Monroe or Cousins can drop, and we don't have another frail tall player with tremendous upside (Davis). Following the draft has been depressing for the past day and a half, If we are stuck without Monroe or Cousins available, the players on the board aren't going to be able to play center and we are stuck with the question mark. We should trade Wilcox/JMax and get a second pick and get two CENTERS and let them battle it out through vegas and practice, hopefully one will pull a Jerebko and we can actually have a roster for a change.
Maggette running with Jennings is a pretty nice fit. Salmons was stupid to opt out - his situation with that team was pretty nice, and he's overrating his own value around the league, I'll bet.

The 11-year-old Pleasant View girl who was impaled in a freak accident over the weekend has died.
Nichole Gail Clark died Monday at McKay-Dee Hospital Center, according to hospital spokesman Chris Dallin.
Earlier in the day, Pleasant View police Sgt. Jerry Anderson confirmed he had been told by an unidentified member of the girl's family that doctors had reported the girl was "brain dead."
"I understand the family is planning to remove her from life support sometime later today," Anderson said.
The accident reportedly occurred Saturday night as the girl ran up the stairs of her home with a rod from a window blinds set.
The girl fell and the rod pierced her chest and exited her neck. The girl reportedly pulled the rod out, causing further damage. Doctors operated to repair the damage, but she did not regain consciousness.
Dallin said a bank account has been opened in the name of "Nichole Gail Clark" at US Bank offices to help the family with medical expenses.

Okay, I used to play this one game, I only played it for about a week though. All I remember about the game was that, it was a 2D Side-scrolling game, if I'm not mistaken, the name of the game had "dragon" or had something to do with dragons.
I also remember it was dead, had no one on it. I'm almost 100% sure it closed years ago, but just for nostalgia purposes, I really wanna remember the name so i can look up some images and videos.
It is NOT:
Dragon saga
Dragon Pals.
It looked VERY similar to Wonderking, ghost online, and MapleStory. It was not like LaTale, or WindSlayer, where the characters were kinda "tall".
So does anybody know, the name? Anything? I really want to find this game.
Thank you all
EDIT: After so much searching, I'm really starting to think I'm just crazy and that game never existed. Which makes me so much more obsessed in finding out. Oh my god!

As I mentioned in this thread http://forums.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=6107 I have started working on my aluminum backplate, which will mate up with my resized collar armor.
I customized my template, starting with a couple of the templates available on this site, adding in some details from the MOM & ASW reference photos. I then fit the size of the armor to my back, and finnaly tweeked it to match up with my collar armor.
Using the template I cut a 24"x24" piece of .090 aluminum to the pattern with a metal blade in my jig saw. I then used a bench grinder and my dremel to clean up the edges.
Next steps are to shape the armor to my back.

what i would like is if a random person mailed me a zine, and then i mailed a different zine to a different person. so lots of random people were mailing out lots of random zines.
maybe you could compile a list of addresses. like, if you got 30 addresses, you could print them on a piece of paper, and on the reverse side could be instructions. the instructions would go like this:
"Please enjoy this random zine from the ZineRoulette! Please choose an address from the opposite side of this paper and mail a random zine to that person. Cross their name off the list, and include this paper in your mailing."

I have Burris Speed dot on my M-4 type and used and Aimepoint mount
and it was about half the price of an Aimpoint and I like it alot
While I wait for my FAL to come (it's back ordered by several months), I'm deciding what red dot sight to mount on it. I'll be using the top cover with the built-in Pickatinny rail.
I've narrowed down to these:
Which of them would be the best? Figure CQB and medium range shooting. And once we narrow down to the best one -- a cheap alternative to that which will do the job (perhaps offerings from Ultimate Arms???).
- EOtech 552 Military Sight
- Aimpoint Comp M3
- Aimpoint 9000 SC or L

Thank you. I'm going to check it out. What I'm wondering now is generically, which is better: holographic sighting or Aimpoint-type sighting.
Before you buy do your homework..
I recently bought, after market products off the computer, which I saw for 1/2 the price at gun shows.
Shop. Check prices. The money you save may be your own.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
Thank you. I will heed that advice.
I got my FAL through Gun Broker -- per a recommendation right here on this site. Paid $1200. That thing retails for nearly $2K. OK, I have to wait a little to get it -- it will probably be around November, but I saved $600 to $800. So, I have plenty of time to work on the optics -- not in any rush.
I know a lot of the usual sources are way over-priced. On the other hand, I'm not going to buy dolled up junk either. $500 for the EOtech and $650 for an Comp M3, kill flash and mount are a bit steep.
I'll keep on looking...
I have an Eotech in the classifieds that I'm only asking $300 for.
Another question about red dot sights in general -- do they need to be bore-sighted and adjusted like a scope does (just went through that with my Mauser), or do you basically slap them on and that's it?
And, if you you do have to bore-sight -- the FAL I'm getting has a 4" flash suppressor on it -- I'm using an SL-100 bore sighter. How would you adjust that thing to fit the flash suppressor -- or do you need to?
Thanks again.
They are elevation and windage adjustable. Can you take the flash suppressor off?
They do need to be sighted in.Another question about red dot sights in general -- do they need to be bore-sighted and adjusted like a scope does
I don't know about bore sighting with that 4" flash hider, you might have to do it the old way and start at a short range and work it out to where your going to shoot at, if the flash hider is removeable then take it off to bore sight it.
Thank you. I might just splurge the $30 and get a chamber-based one rather than fool with the flash suppressor. I saw your other thread on red dot sights and you seemed to indicate a preference for the Aimpoint types over the holographs because of durability reasons. Am I right?

President Sarkozy of France is concerned about the behavior of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and reportedly has asked assistance from newly elected President Christina Fenandez de Kirchner to contain the eratic actions of Chavez. Sarkozy believes the Venezuelan who regards Fidel Castro as a role model, has become a "cause for concern for Europe." Many in Europe believe Chavez threatens stability in Latin America by encouraging radical groups to exert economic power in order to curtail America's influence in the region. In a sense, he offered to represent the interests of Argentine in Europe if she would represent the interests of France in Latin America.
Chavez frequently is more mouth than reality. He draws upon Cuba for assistance in areas such as medicine, but there is no indication Castro is held in high regard by modern day Latin American youth. President Morales in Bolivia has many internal problems to confront and lacks money, time, or energy to influence other nations of South America.

Choosing the Right Tire - American Tire
We know you've heard it before, but it's critical enough to repeat: the tires you choose for your vehicle are important. It is critical to understand that the tires on your vehicle are the one single link to the road surface. To keep the rest of your vehicle performing at its peak, your tires are the very foundation of your vehicle.
Different quality tires will last for different periods of time, depending on wear and tear. Regular maintenance is key to longer tread life, but tread wears down over time and with use. Once you get to the point where you need to replace your tires, there are several choices that you can make. The easiest choice is get the exact size and make that originally came on the vehicle, when it was new. Beyond that, you might consider going to a better quality tire o ...[more]

A public works fleet is more than plows and dump trucks. Support vehicles include service vehicles equipped for tasks from changing tires and performing field repairs to hauling bulldozers. To learn what's new in these work vehicles, nothing beats the Work Truck Show presented annually by the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).
This year, the emphasis was on "going green." Fleets can demonstrate their commitment to their communities and environment while reaping operational benefits from alternative fuels and hybrid vehicles.
Named best new product by journalists covering the show, Modec Zero Emission Vehicle has an excellent cab-and-chassis unit. The English manufacturer has set up operations in the United States and crew cab versions will be available soon.
The Modec is powered by 2,400 pounds of lithium-iron phosphate batteries, the same chemistry used in the award-winning Chevrolet Volt concept car. It can haul a 4,400-pound load at highway speeds for up to 100 miles before needing recharging, mostly done at night, during low-demand periods. It qualifies for most, of not all, state and federal incentives including Clean Cities, which promotes alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles, and idle reduction.
Modec has no trouble getting in and out of worksites, and is able to navigate a 33% grade empty and an 18% grade fully loaded. I drove one in Atlanta city traffic and found it quick, maneuverable, and responsive. Being electric, it doesn't idle and is dead quiet. Its futuristic design makes an excellent platform to promote a department's environmental consciousness.
Another futuristic electric vehicle is Unicell Body Co.'s Quicksider, with its continuous one-piece fiberglass body. A prototype is in service as an in-city delivery truck with Canadian courier company Purolator, but the truck is adaptable to many service roles. The suspension lowers for easy ramp access to the inside of the vehicle. It can be configured with racks and carts.
Dueco Inc. and Odyne Corp. teamed to introduce a plug-in hybrid diesel-electric vehicle that substitutes electric power for hydraulics to operate all boom and auxiliary functions. Electricity powers a 20,000-BTU air conditioner and up to eight hours of vehicle operating time. Recharging can be done by the engine driving a generator, but is best done by plugging-in at night. The hybrid system qualifies for most incentives.
For tool management, Ford Motor Co. showcased Tool Link, coming this fall. It is based on radio frequency identification tags developed in conjunction with DeWalt Industrial Tool Co. If you've ever had a service call aborted because a tool was left behind and you had to turn back to get it, you'll appreciate Tool Link. As you plan a job, Tool Link helps determine the tools needed. As each tool is loaded in the truck bed, it is electronically "logged-in" and recorded for the job. Before leaving, it checks what's on board against what is required. When the job is done, Tool Link checks items back in, so no tool gets left behind. To help deter theft, Ford teamed with Master Lock Co. LLC to develop a heavy-duty cable locking system with shackle clips.
Clean Fuel USA introduced its Liquid Propane Injection fuel system for General Motors light- and medium-duty 6.0-and 8.1-liter gasoline engines, and for Ford 5.4-liter engines. On an energy-equivalent basis, propane costs about $1/gallon less than gasoline. Propane burns cleaner, requiring less maintenance. Added rebates and other incentives are available for using this alternative fuel.
One of the most innovative products at the show was the Ultimate Field Office (UFO) from mobileDUZ LLC. The unit converts the space behind the driver and passenger seats of extended-cab pickup trucks into a fully functional mobile office.

Guys, I've submitted my pics for 501st approval and a common point is coming up, that of gauntlet hoses.
Can we get some agreement on what gauntlet hoses were actually worn by the actor during SE?
Personally, I don't think the promotional shots count, because they are the only place I have seen a hose coming from the left gauntlet missile.
Here is what I am using as a reference:
This pic clearly shows the actor is mistakenly wearing the right gauntlet on his left arm, as the left gauntlet (with the missile) is being held by the other person in the photo (probably telling the actor he has them on the wrong way ).
This pic shows the actor with both gauntlets on and only one hose on the right gauntlet.
So, what I'm asking is: does anybody have any other photo out there that shows an ON SET or SCREEN USED Boba outfit from the Special Editions that has anything different?
Remember, I'm not asking for opinions or "I have seen a pic that showed such and such" but photos or evidence.

No pass rush as usual.
Can't buy a turnover!!!
RW with the INT, but whats this? Oh yeah...a flag, what else is new....
These IC are ruining the game...........you can't play pass D anymore.
I think the refs will do everything in their power to help the eagles and give the shaft to the cowboys.
Wow, great coverage by Newman on TO, almost had the INT.
I think the Cowboys will do everything they can to shaft the Cowboys.
Everyone keeps talking about Williams not making plays, that is the 2nd INT he's had wiped out by penalty.
Hey guys, the first down by Jason Witten makes it catch number 68 off the season, which matches Jay Novacek's 1992 performance, which is best ALL-TIME for a Cowboys Tight End.
- Mike G.
Barnes shouldn't ever see the ball anyway.
gurode needs to come out, he's having a VERY bad game
Get Gurode out of there..
That's a great accomplishment. However, if Novacek played in this offense today how many catches do you think he would have if he was the only decent reciever like Witten is now?
This is not to take anything away from Witten.
hey bill....gurode just convinced me too!!
I'm starting to think Gurode is going to be playing elsewhere next year, he's been inconsistent all his career.
Witten sets new receiving record for TE...............
Gurode just got benched. Replaced by Lehr.
Gurode can't block for sh....!!!!
ya know, this is more competitive then I thought we'd be so far...
How true BZ!!!!!!!!!
