Secure Print
- Immediate printing is convenient but also presents issues around security and wastage.
- Secure Print holds your documents in the MFD's memory until you release them for printing. Which also lets you delete a document if you hit print in error. And as the printing is released when you're in direct proximity, it is secure from unauthorised or accidental viewing. You can also implement a password to limit access to protected files.
- Secure Print eliminates the need for those dedicated small printers, purchased for security reasons, so you can centralize and minimise investment. You can also store documents on your MFD to print-on-demand.
Key Features
- Smart WelcomEyes – Human motion detector
- Smart Energy Management
- Single Pass Duplex document scanning
- New Super EA-Eco toner allows toner to fuse at a lower temperature, therefore using less energy
- Breakthrough LED print head for high image quality of 1,200 ´ 2,400 dpi while saving energy and generating little noise
Key Benefits
- Better scanning performance has resulted in time savings and productivity improvements.
- More choices for media mean greater print flexibility for a better customer experience.
- Improved print quality thanks to Super EA Eco toner means better results for customers.

Product Name: Quit Weed | Quit Weed With Tristan Weatherburn
Nice Click…
Why? Simple:
Because if you're anything like I was…
You've tried to quit weed before (honestly) and you've still failed.
You probably already know there isn't much help out there for us weed smokers…
…and the longer you keep smoking pot, the harder it is to quit:
You've just discovered a real-world solution that has helped over 10,000 people quit weed. This guide helps weed smokers go from stoned to 100% clean in both body and mind…
The active ingredient in marijuana (and the reason you smoke weed) is THC, and the THC content in the weed you smoke is rising all the time.
Weed grown in 2019 is twice as strong as marijuana grown just 8 years ago.
It isn't up for debate – weed is now a much harder drug.
This is often overlooked – and many people that smoke weed regularly (or for a long time) are now experiencing serious problems when they try to quit smoking pot.
It's crazy, but most people trying to quit weed do nothing to help detoxify.
Detox is more important in marijuana than in any other drug…
Marijuana detox is becoming more popular for people quitting weed because the chemicals in weed have an ability to stay in your body for a long time.
Detox designed for marijuana will flush your system of built up toxins which helps you quit weed. This can also help stop cravings to smoke weed that have been created in your body.
Sometimes these occur months after you actually stop smoking.
Let's talk about your main problem:
When you inhale weed, THC moves quickly from your lungs to your bloodstream to get you stoned, we know this. But from that point on, weed is completely different to any other drug…
Because after getting you high:
Metabolites of marijuana store in the fat cells of your body and stay there for months
You think that makes it harder to quit?
While still inside your body, marijuana is released slowly back into your bloodstream giving you a lack of focus, emotional mood swings, lower energy, headaches, stomach pains, and even sometimes a feeling of still being stoned – even if you haven't smoked for days!
But worst of all, cravings to smoke more weed.
You may already have a build up of toxins in your body.
To quit weed without understanding this cycle is kind of like someone trying to quit smoking cigarettes while still smoking 2 or 3 cigarettes every day.
Using willpower is not the best way to quit weed.
The proven method to quit weed is to deal with both your body & your mind.
That means to re-establish the way you think about pot – while at the same time having a marijuana-focused detox to flush metabolites from your body.
This isn't a long process and is great for your health.
It is also the most successful method to quit smoking pot.
Once you think about marijuana differently, and detox denies your body of any cravings or withdrawals, you will find yourself turning down weed offered to you, much more naturally.
A good feeling… Imagine it:
No matter how difficult it is right now…
When you have control, you can smoke weed less and on your own terms – or not at all…
With this new ability, even people that smoke marijuana daily for years can quit permanently. Or just cut back to once a month. Just like Peter (below) you'll have the new ability to control your bad habit and you will keep this power forever.
How would this change your life?
"I smoked marijuana since I was 15. I wanted to quit ever since my son was born but he is now 8 and growing up fast. Recently the doctor told me that smoking marijuana was the reason my asthma was getting so bad. He said I needed to quit or in a couple of years I was going to develop emphysema.
With this guide and detox program I quit marijuana quickly. It really made me feel healthy. Not only that but I look healthier and I have loads more energy. Now I can (sort of) keep up with my son playing football!"
The Complete Guide makes use of modern methods to help you quit weed. This now famous guide has helped thousands of people overcome marijuana. Never spend another cent on marijuana, munchies, detox kits, rehab or overpriced therapy again.
Like thousands before you, quit weed the easy way…
Just wrapped up 7 days of no weed no alcohol. Absolutely CRUSHING the blue button. Words cannot express my gratitude.
Thank you and God Bless you helping so many people with your course and testimony

"I quit weed! I still have the hazy memories from being wasted 24/7 for so long, but like it says, it is coming back with time. I am happy I quit when I did. The biggest difference for me is being able to recall the things that happen. I love it when I catch myself out talking quickly or being witty! That never used to happen! I am so happy to have my brain back"
"Smoked for 20 years. My family bought me this guide and made me do it. Honestly, I never knew it had got so bad until they did. It was a good thing and it's like someone slapped me and showed me a different angle of my whole life. There is more to it then being stoned and I quit without problems. I also used the same strategies to stop drinking but that is another story!"
"I have tried to quit weed about ten times before. I could tell for the last year or so it has been holding me back. Since I had this guide I have been reading it like crazy! Lots of great ideas in here! Stuff I have never thought of before too! Its working well and I am not thinking about being stoned all day! Oh and the marijuana detox by itself is great!! Well done and thanks guys!"
In order to detox your body properly, you will be using special detoxifying agents, natural products, vitamins, fresh herbs and some rare homely ingredients. This course also includes:
Quit Weed & Succeed: Detox meal plans – Detox meals specifically designed for marijuana addiction. Perform a complete marijuana detox yourself, at home. Flushing out your entire system of built up toxins
"Glad I got this guide! Not only did I pass the drug test at work (in 2 days BTW) but also I quit weed without even planning! I never thought I would stop smoking weed. I am a completely different person now and my family is happy to have the real me back. I also planned a trip to Africa – not possible when I was stoned! Excellent guide and it really worked!"
"Wow, wow and WOW! What an incredible mix of informative strategies!! I can't even tell you how much healthier I feel… I couldn't have done it without this innovative detoxification! Best thing I ever did! Thank you guys on a job well done"

When I first started helping people quit marijuana I was extremely honest about my drug dealing background. I still am, but back then I was told (legally) that I needed to create a "pen name" and so I created the well-known character "Seb Grant"
The first major program he created, "Life After Marijuana Audio Program" was an immediate success.
Rule one in this bizarre audio?
1. Don't quit weed yet…
Instead of forcing you to quit, this audio changes the way you look at quitting. It serves to change your mind, so that you quit by choice. You quit weed when you want to, but you'll keep your promise due to a strong use of N.L.P, Meditation, Hypnosis, and Hypnotherapy. This 3-part audio changes your perception of marijuana and breaks quitting weed up into manageable steps.
The 1st session you'll listen to right away. It reveals things about marijuana you may not know. You don't need to quit weed yet. If you smoke weed this session will cause you to see your relationship to marijuana in a different way – exactly what you may need in the beginning.
The 2nd session is the day you quit weed. This session is clear advice about what to expect when you quit and how to deal with each situation from cravings to sleeping problems, from social life to withdrawals. You also get a solid plan to deal with each one.
The 3rd session is the most powerful & designed to leave you not only completely free of marijuana & addiction, but also hungry for a new life of success – whatever that means to you. This session goes above and beyond marijuana, and may just change your life.
"It's all about the second session. I don't feel the need to smoke marijuana at all anymore, let alone every stupid day! That thought makes me sick now and so much time wasted! I think I understand the process more now. Enough to at least put it in action in all other areas of my life"
"Life After Marijuana is an over-delivered audio program. I was a bit skeptical but it worked better than I thought it would. This program goes right to the bottom and back about marijuana addiction and human behavior. How to create a fulfilling life without drugs. No stone unturned and a complete respect from me to the creator of this audio program. I feel a little spiritual"
"Something about this audio is just cool. I like the way the voice changes up if the mood suddenly switches and how the strategies and information and stuff just sink in like they should. I learn best with audio so this was perfect for me. Listened to all audios twice. This stuff really works"

Seven modules (and a bonus disc) with a specific purpose. This program is designed to take you from a heavy smoker to a non-smoker quickly so you can quit weed easily, comfortably, and permanently.
While you learn how to develop self-control, you'll also be exposed to powerful subliminal messages directed towards your sub-conscious.These subliminal messages are designed to help you. They are sometimes in the form of faint sounds, or (more powerfully) a flicker on-screen that only your subconscious is aware of. You may notice a subliminal message and that's okay. Some are quicker than others. You will not notice all of them.
Bonus disc has 1 popular video. A rare interview with Seb Grant on the Psychology Of Success (27:07). Discover how Seb went from smoking weed for 13 years to quitting in a heartbeat. Plus, how he helped over 10,000 people quit weed.
"I was the worst with pot. I gave up on giving up. I was also very depressed and thought I would smoke buds for life. Found this quit weed guide and natural detox stuff and I can't believe how well it works! I never felt this fresh in my life! I was the worst pothead (was even stoned when I ordered it) and it worked for me. I still cant believe that I dont smoke pot anymore!"
Day 6 of sobriety! Thank you so much for your quit weed program. I needed a stone free break so bad & your course inspires me. I promised myself 7 days & am amazed that I am almost there. Ultimately I am going for 90 days. I want to reset my body & understand if certain health problems were actually the result of 15 years of marijuanizing. Thanks again, Tristan. The quit weed program is a real game changer.
Happy New Year Tristan! I'm celebrating 3 years this February and my boyfriend is celebrating 10 years. Thank you for your awesome program and giving me my life back. May your New Year be full of endless happiness great health and purposeful dreaming of a beautiful world to make real.

"This is easily the realest thing I've ever written" – Tristan Weatherburn
After helping people quit weed since 2009, a lot of people have shared their "quit weed journal" with me. In this piece, I've merged 100s of entries into one extremely helpful timeline that will reveal exactly what to expect on each day after you quit marijuana. The timeline lasts for a full 30 days. Once you make it 30 days following this guide, you'll be able to live weed-free.
Tristan Weatherburn
1st January, 2019
Helping people quit weed since 2009
A lot of people call me Seb Grant, but my real name is Tristan Weatherburn.
Funny story. I'll explain in the program.
I started smoking weed daily when I was 14 – and it didn't stop until I was 27.
So that's 13 years – HIGH!
Yeah. Like, a long time.
For the last few years I was hopelessly trying to quit. Many people told me weed wasn't addictive. This is common, so if you've been told the same thing, think about alcohol for a second:
Most people drink socially – take it or leave it, right?
But you also have your alcoholics, don't you?
They drink too often – all the damn time – and it ruins many lives (not just their life but others too). Well, I was like the "alcoholic" of weed and now I know for an undeniable fact:
Many people are like I was…
You just keep living your life away.
You just keep smoking weed, as a habit.
…day after day. Month after month. Year after year until your life is extinguished.
That's what I went through for years and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. For me, this "marijuana habit" slowly (but surely) stopped me from achieving just about everything…
These days I enjoy a clean life, without weed.
I have no addiction. I can think clearly and I can make decisions quickly. I look and feel great, and I enjoy more confidence and overall happiness in my life. All my ongoing problems – vanished.
This is only because I learned HOW to quit weed. How to develop self-control instead of just "trying to quit" over & over again for years and years (like so many people do)
Are you still unsure if you should quit weed?
I'll bet. It's common.
You still believe marijuana has benefits in your life, don't you?
Or (if you're honest) maybe you are seriously worried or even fearful about losing the comfort weed brings to you, so predictably and so often…
I know this because I felt the same way.
It's actually selfish.
So just look at it like this:
Don't over-complicate the situation.
If you've tried to quit weed before, and you failed, you have a problem.
You Should Be Successful…
…and most people in your position do nothing about it – they just continue smoking weed to escape the problem that weed is actually causing.
Most regular smokers get stuck in "Analysis Paralysis" mode.
They never take action…
But for some reason, they never 'think' to blame their weed habit.
There is no doubt in my mind, that if you want to see the potential in your life explode (beyond anything you could possibly imagine) all you need to do is quit weed…
I'm not talking about just "saying you want to quit weed" and then end up stoned again the next time your friend offers you some. I'm talking about the fact you might not 'feel' like you are ready, yet.
What I've found after years of helping people quit weed is this:
You are ready right now.
It is no coincidence that you are still here, carefully reading this page today.
It isn't some fluke that you've just found a full proof plan to quit weed that has already worked for over 10,000 people.
It isn't a coincidence that everywhere you look online you will find good feedback about 'The Complete Guide' because it has worked for many 1000s of people in your position already.
Why would you be any different?
…and just to make sure you get real results, I've included my other courses:
There are also bonus programs I haven't mentioned here, like a guide to help you sleep when you first quit smoking weed. These are all unique programs (complete courses on their own) with their own strategies and walk-throughs, and although I'm including them all I haven't raised the price just yet.
I want EVERYONE to have a chance to quit weed properly.
If you're someone that worries about spending money on improving your life and becoming a better version of yourself, think about it like this:
How much do you spend on weed in a week?
Too stoned to work it out?
The truth is, NOT quitting weed is costing you a fortune.
Not even about sleepless nights or painful withdrawals, either…
They are all just excuses.
How much has 'being stoned' cost you in your life – so far?
When you smoke weed all the time, it plays a big part in your whole life.
Sometimes you can't even see it.
But you will see it soon because when you quit smoking weed every day, your perception of the world will change for the better. When you make a decision, it will become obvious that quitting was the right choice.
And, right now you have that decision to make:
1. You can continue smoking weed until you want to quit again.
(it could take weeks, months, or years, but it always comes up again)
2. You could try to quit on your own, yet another time.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
– Albert Einstein
3. Or you can learn how to quit weed with me today, from someone that has done it themselves & also helped over 10,000 people do the same. Plus, with my method, you can continue smoking (for now) as we work together to change how you think about marijuana, and how you perceive being stoned.
Then, you can quit weed in your own time, on your own terms…
That is why we offer a FULL 60-day money back guarantee. Purchase 'Quit Marijuana The Complete Pack' and if you're not convinced it helped you quit, just ask for your money back. Simple. That's over 8 weeks to try us out! It's easy, just shoot me (tristan) an email at email@example.com or use the contact form on this website (or even DM me on Instagram) and let me know – I will not even ask questions. Hey, you can even keep The Complete Guide as a 'thank you' just for trying us out.
"Hey Tristan, My name is Matt. I'm 27 years old. I've been smoking weed for 13 years. It started slow, but got worse, with the only breaks being while I was on probation. I've done harder drugs…All of them and quite a bit of them. Now I smoke weed, cigarettes, and drink.
I'm working the program. I've set a quit date four days away. I feel with your help I was able to create a strong foundation for the structure of quitting smoking. I like the part about people with addictive personalities being obsessive-compulsive and how to achieve greatness when unleashed.
That described me very well. My biggest breakthrough was that now I know how to stay calm because I have so much energy that I could become overly neurotic and extreme. I am serious about quitting. For once I know I will prove successful. Thanks again for this program"
"Hello and Good Morning. today marks 7 full days of being clean from marijuana. Yay !!! I accomplished my first goal !!! I'm now moving on to the next. I'm so glad I invested in this program. I have been smoking weed for over thirty years….and pretty much every day for the past 8.
It has been so difficult and impossible to quit in the past. I cannot be more grateful today. I feel so good, have so much energy, clear head and compassionate again about things that I thought I had lost. Better than I have felt in years !!!!! Thank you !!!!"
Today is day #14 w/o the herb and I'm starting to feel like a new man. I joined a gym recently, been exercising every day, been eating healthier, and have been SO MUCH more productive! It's amazing how much time it feels like I have in the day when I'm not f*cked up pretty much all day long ? Appreciate your program and I appreciate you my friend. Please keep the great content coming.
Id like to thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement youve sent my way. I felt like i was weird for a time because of the society i live in. WEED is so normal here and ive realized now that's the problem with my community.
I haven't smoked a thing for awhile now and I am starting to see much more clearer. To think instead of just feeling and going. I think this site and your program is going to be able to help a lot of people. It certainly has helped me, i work in customer service and my chat times are just getting better and better. i dont have to head to references for every problem and i can actually remember conversations ive had with people. Im still a little shakey at time but my brain really is recovering.
Thank you so much for the bottom of my heart.
From a girl you've put on the path to healing.
"Tristan, so you know, I get a lot of e mails, but yesterday, all I wanted was something from you. I can't believe you spent all the time to write back to me. I can tell you have a "higher calling" that motivates you to help others. Your plan is by far the best approach I have seen. I really appreciate your personal effort. This may be the best 67 bucks I ever spent. (feel free to quote me).
Your program makes the necessary negative association, which along with everything else, has taken the fun out of smoking and now it is just a bad habit. I guess that was the point. I can clearly say I am doing this for me, but perhaps the timing is not my own. All that is fine though, I needed a push, and you are doing a good thing very well, I imagine it could be quite rewarding.
Your best point and my underlying issue is that if you have to keep going to meetings with the losers you are trying to get away from, then you are not free of anything…. Thanks again Tristan, I really feel like I owe you a debt of gratitude, and will keep you posted…"
Thanks so much for writing and answering my question mate! Your honesty just makes me wanna appreciate and respect you even more. Thanks so much for that. It just makes me want to give up ritualistic smoking even more… More than ever before. I'm riding on this and setting a quit date soon. Thank you so much, you Sir, are a real hero!
I am sure you get several emails a day from people who thank you for helping them quit weed. I would just like to share my journey with you as you may want to share it with others. January 16th 2017 I saw a video 60 reasons to quit weed. At that point I was at my worst and I was spending £30 (for 3.5g) for skunk weed every two days. I have done the maths and its a lot of money a week.
I had been smoking weed from the age of 13 and I was taken into care at the age of 10 and at 13 and I was in children's home and everyone there smoked weed. At 36 weed still had a hold on me. I had tried 2 sessions of hypnotherapy in 2016 and several attempts at cold turkey which lasted a day.
I decided to buy your programme and I have been clean for 240 days (I got the app). I just want to thank you as within that 240 days i have saved money, finished university and have been promoted at work. I have also lost 3.5 stone and run every morning. I feel great and have no desire to ever smoke again!. Thanks

Eixample is the beating heart of Barcelona and home to a dazzling number of architectural gems – including many of Gaudi's masterpieces (the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are all to be found in the area).
Eixample is also, happily, home to some of the best food and drink establishments in Barcelona. Come join us us on a tour and taste the quality food for yourself!
Want a taste of authentic Spanish and Catalan tapas in between your visit to the tourist sites of the city? Then this is the tour for you.
In this lunch tour we'll visit 2-3 carefully chosen establishments. You'll have plenty to eat and drink but not so much that you can't go on with your day (no siesta needed after it!). Our tour groups are small, meaning we can go to the kinds of restaurants and eateries the locals love... because they have the best food.
You will taste a wide variety of the highest quality Spanish and Catalan tapas dishes, accompanied by one of our friendly guides who can tell you all about the history and gastronomy of our gorgeous city!
The gorgeous neighbourhood of Eixample is Barcelona's upmarket shopping and dining district. It is also home to architectural gems including Gaudí's Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.
Our Eixample tour is situated between these popular architectural wonders of the city, including dozens of ornately decorated modernist apartment buildings. This makes it the perfect choice for a break between sightseeing stops.
But most importantly, you will visit food and drink establishments that we consider are among the best of the area (and the city!). Expect delicious drinks and fantastic food - an unparalleled experience of the city's culinary scene.
The safety of guests, guides, partners and the public is our primary concern. Because of this, we've developed new health and safety guidelines in accordance with WTO and World Travel and Tourism Council guidelines, and in line with Spanish and Catalan government requirements.
Please review these guidelines before booking and get in touch if you have any questions.
Barcelona is a major tourist destination – the number of guidebooks and websites devoted to the city is overwhelming! Which is why we started The Barcelona Taste ... to let you experience all the great food Barcelona has to offer while side-stepping the crowds.
We take you to restaurants and shops on our scrumptious tours because they're great. We visit, we taste and then we visit again and taste again. Ad infinitum! That's our research.
We strike no deals and ask for no discounts or commissions. This is how it must be done, with 100% respect for small, local business and delicious, quality food.
Bookings are closed for this event.

Sometimes there are things that other countries just do much, much better than the US. One thing I can think of off the top of my head is the subway systems in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Another thing that I'll discuss in detail is the Octopus Card, a feature of Hong Kong.
The Octopus Card is a debit card and a transportation card in one. It's amazing because you can refill it at machines in the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) stations as well as the customer service booths in said stations. It's also really nice because the machines have an English option, so it isn't difficult to add money onto the card. The MTR staff are able to speak English, too. To get into the MTR, you just scan your card at the turnstile. It's really quick and easy and definitely wins over the flimsy monthly cards that Septa offers (as well as heavy tokens). I've heard that Septa is updating all of their facilities, however, so I'm excited about that.
Octopus Cards aren't just used to get into the MTR stations, though. What I absolutely love is that you can use it to pay for other things. The vending machines at the school don't accept coins or bills but Octopus. You just select the drink you want, scan your card, and you get your drink. Octopus is accepted in other stores, too. Convenience stores like 7-11 accept it as a form of payment (say goodbye to handing bills and coins!). Other stores like 759 Store (a small grocery chain specializing in imported Asian foods), Taste (the closest international supermarket to CityU), and Wellcome (a cheaper grocery option, also near the school) all accept the Octopus Card. Many other stores accept Octopus as payment.
The CityU canteens all accept Octopus, too. My favorite place to go to utilize the Octopus to its max potential is the canteen at Academic Building 1. There are tons of stations/booths that specialize in a type of food. To order, you can go up to the main counter and talk to people behind the counter, but that isn't needed if you have an Octopus! If you're like me and have suddenly developed an aversion to talking to people (I'm still dealing with the language barrier…), you can use the Octopus at the order machines. There are about 6 machines around the canteen. You can go and select the meal that you want — everything is in English, so it's easy. The machines are touchscreens, so it's very high-tech. Once you've completed your order, you scan your Octopus, then your receipt prints out. You grab the receipt, then go to the station that the receipt directs you to, hand your receipt to the attendant, and get your food. It's easy peasy and you don't even have to talk to people. How great is that?
A bonus that CityU students (as well as other university students) have is a discount off MTR rides — up to 50% off the regular fare, I think? The only issue is applying for the student-status MTR. I applied on the September 1st, the earliest day, and I can only pick up the card on November 16th. This is a long time considering the fact that I am leaving the country on December 20th! Luckily, though, we get a temporary student-status MTR card to use before we get our real MTR card. The MTR card I have now works perfectly fine, but I just can't wait to get my real card. Another feature that it has is personalization. That is, the card will have a photo of my face on it. This feature is really cute… Philly, get on your game.

Yes--H1N1--like R2D2 or C3PO! Maybe R2 can defeat H1. Think of all the germs that make the news: MRSA, necrotizing fasciitis, Fournier's gangrene (too disturbing to decribe). HIV, ROY G BIV.

PING introduces NEW G30 Series
PHOENIX (July 3, 2014) – With an emphasis on significantly increasing ball velocity and accuracy through a combination of advanced aerodynamics, plus new face designs and materials, PING today introduced the G30 series – the company's latest innovations that provide golfers measurable distance gains without sacrificing key performance attributes such as control and forgiveness.
The G30 series includes two driver options -- standard and SF Tec (Straight Flight Technology) -- along with fairway woods, hybrids and irons. The product line can be pre-ordered beginning today at PING-authorized golf shops around the world.
"With the G30 series, our engineers once again accomplished something that is unique to PING products -- they elevated performance significantly in key areas without sacrificing other important attributes," said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. "Across the product line, we've proved you can hit the ball higher and farther while increasing forgiveness and control. We've also continued our focus on advancing custom fitting in the driver and fairway woods by offering five loft positions. All of this promotes the consistent, reliable results that will help golfers of any skill level shoot lower scores and enjoy the game more."
The most visible innovation on the G30 driver is the patented turbulators engineered onto the crown. Inspired by the aeronautics and sporting industries that put a premium on speed, Turbulator Technology reduces aerodynamic drag by significantly delaying airflow separation, maintaining attached airflow around the clubhead as it approaches impact, leading to more speed.
"The turbulators are really exciting," Solheim said. "Wind-tunnel testing verified with clarity the role they play in reducing drag on the driver head, but its real benefit was confirmed through our player testing. When Bubba Watson first tested the turbulators, he picked up two miles per hour in clubhead speed and four miles per hour in ball speed, which meant 10 more yards for him. We can't promise that for everyone, but with the turbulators' powerful, inspiring look we're confident all golfers will be longer off the tee, thanks to Turbulator Technology."
The entire G30 series benefits from new face technologies and materials, including the introduction of T9S titanium in the drivers, which results in thinner faces and weight savings that help position the CG low and back. The fairway woods utilize a high-strength Carpenter 475 steel in the face, and the hybrids are heat treated with an H900 process. Both result in hotter, more forgiving faces. The G30 iron face is thinner for higher ball speeds while being stabilized by a new custom tuning port design for predictable distance control.
The G30 SF Tec driver option is engineered for players whose shots typically end up right of the intended target. In player testing, the G30 SF Tec driver, which features weight closer to the heel and lighter swingweights, improved shot bend by 12 yards when compared to the G30 standard driver.
PING has also increased the range of adjustability to five loft positions in the driver and fairway woods while maintaining the same mass and outer diameter as the company's fixed hosels, providing the benefits of adjustability with no sacrifice in performance. The lightweight hosel allows golfers to increase or decrease loft 6/10 of a degree or 1 full degree to optimize launch conditions.

In a speech directed toward the Greater St. Marks Family Church this past Sunday, Al Sharpton's vitriol spewed from many angles and can be summarized accordingly:
"Michael Brown is gone. You can run whatever video you want. He is not on trial. America is on trial! I have never in all my years seen something as offensive and insulting as a police chief releasing a tape of a young man trying to smear him before we even have his funeral."
But I query, is Sharpton's speech insightful or incite(ful)? For the life of me, I cannot understand the demands. Everyone wants justice form Michael Brown. But from face value, all I see is Sharpton and other protesters demanding instant justice. Will all Ferguson riots disappear simply with the arrest of Officer Darren Wilson?
While Brown supporters claim police are smearing a good kid's name, it should be remembered Brown supporters are smearing the officer's and prosecution name as well. Even after forensic pathologist hired by the Brown family stated all of the bullets entered Brown from the front, the Brown family attorney claimed he was "executed."
Having traveled the Mideast and witnessing a few executions, I can confirm that what happened to Brown was not an execution. Executions I've seen never looked like what happened to Michael Brown. This doesn't mean Brown should be dead either. But before placing our own, eye for an eye justice mentality, it's important to remember the United States has a legal process. And that legal process hasn't opined.
In our rush for Brown's sainthood, we are subtly convicting Darren Wilson. This trial mob mentality is no different than those commonly utilized by some remote tribal court. The backstage strategic puppeteering that all high-press cases engage in, and had better engage in, is quite amazing. Literally, the unique role of today's lawyer is litigating in the court of public opinion. Contrary to public opinion, circumstantial evidence and personal bias shoved down a listener's throat is just as powerful as physical evidence. Brown's attorneys are prepping future jurors.
Brown supporters, police and the Sharpton's of the world deal cards in a life or death game – and everyone is getting played. Come time for a jury to sit and opine upon Officer Wilson's fate, no one will remember Wilson's "orbital blowout fracture to the eye socket." However, most will remember the Ferguson riots, the looting and the word 'executed.'
Remember the buzz words, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit?" Defense lawyers for O.J. Simpson mastered the court of public opinion. Robert Shapiro and Johnnie Cochran persona, Simpson's celebrity and televised trial riveted the nation. By the end of the criminal trial, there were dramatic differences in Simpson's guilt between most black and white Americans.
In November 1998, Bill Moushey and Bob Martinson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote a 10-part series, "Win At All Costs," exposing where federal agents and prosecutors pursued justice by breaking the law. In the series, the two wrote: "They lied, hid evidence, distorted facts, engaged in cover-ups, paid for perjury and set up innocent people in a relentless effort to win indictments, guilty pleas and convictions."
Let's face it, Officer Wilson's trail is occurring as we speak. And to be honest, the Officer Wilson has no chance of winning.

Republican nominee Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump plan to roll out a detailed childcare policy plan outside Philadelphia on Tuesday.
"This does underscore a major contrast between our campaign and Hillary Clinton's—you heard Mr. Trump talk about it last night at his rally in North Carolina: Mrs. Clinton doesn't have a single original idea or a fresh concept about anything," a senior Trump aide tells reporters. "Nobody knows why she's running except that she feels like she's entitled to be president and beyond that I guess she owes a lot of people a lot of favors. But in terms of helping the American people, you couldn't name one reason."
Trump, on the other hand, has laid out a series of detailed policy platforms he says are designed to help all Americans. In recent weeks, the GOP nominee for president has presented ideas on foreign policy, trade policy, immigration policy, education policy, tax policy and military policy. In suburban Philadelphia, Trump will roll out a policy plan designed to help middle and working class mothers better afford childcare.
Childcare policy is an area politicians in Washington often ignore, especially when it comes to children from birth to 4 years old—a very expensive timeframe for new parents.
"Zero through 4 aged children there has been a real dearth of policy work in Washington, D.C., and in general—that's one of the first things we found when started on the policy work," a Trump aide said. "There's been some work at the pre-K level and obviously K-12, but very little for zero through 4."
Trump's plan focuses on using the tax code to help new parents to allow them to deduct both childcare expenses and elderly dependent expenses for up to four total dependents from their income taxes. Trump aides say the tax deduction is available for taxpayers who take the standard deduction and is capped at the average cost of care for the state of residence, but those in the upper echelon, making more than $250,000—or $500,000 if filing jointly—per year will not be eligible for it. It will also offer as much as $1,200 per year per eligible family in child care spending rebates through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Stay-at-home parents and working parents will both be eligible for the same tax deductions.
In addition, as the policy team for Trump laid out for reporters on Tuesday morning, Trump's plan would create Dependent Care Savings Accounts (DCSAs)—as opposed to Dependent Care Flexible Savings Accounts (FSAs) in current law—that would be available to everyone. FSAs in current law are only available to people if offered by an employer, and they do not allow balances to accumulate or roll over. Trump's DCSAs would offer both tax-deductible contributions and tax-free year-to-year appreciation, while also being available to everyone. The accounts allow for people to set aside extra money to pay for both childcare and for care of elderly dependents.
When helping children, the Trump team notes, it can be applied to traditional childcare, after-school programs and help with school tuition—in addition to Trump's school choice program. For lower-income parents, Trump's team notes, the government will match half of the first $1,000 deposited in the account per year. When used for helping elderly dependents, Trump's team notes that the DSCA accounts can be used for covering a variety of services including in-home nursing and long-term care.
The Trump plan would also offer six weeks of government-guaranteed paid maternity leave to all working women when their companies don't offer paid maternity leave. The money would come through amending the existing unemployment insurance (UI) that companies are required to carry, and would be paid for by offsetting reductions in the program so taxes don't get raised.
Ivanka Trump, Donald's daughter, was intricately involved in crafting the policy and will be appearing with Donald Trump in Aston, Pennsylvania. Ivanka Trump mentioned that she was working on this policy in her speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.

Tom Cochrane Honours His Dad By Participating In Parkinson's Fundraiser
You are here
Musician Tom Cochrane lost his father to Parkinson's disease and calls it "a cause near and dear to my heart." The Canadian Hall of Fame rocker is the headline act and main attraction at the Shake It Up for Parkinson's benefit concert, this Friday (Sept. 6) at Toronto's Capital Event Theatre. The fundraiser is designed to help fund research in the battle against Parkinson's disease.
"My dad succumbed to the ravages of the disease," Cochrane tells Samaritanmag. "He was diagnosed in his early '60s, and it was devastating to watch a really vital human being become ravaged and undermined by it in terms of his psychological strength. In the back of my mind, my involvement in this event is something of a tribute to my dad as well."
Parkinson's is "a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that belongs to the group of conditions called motor system disorders. PD cannot yet be cured and sufferers get worse over time as the normal bodily functions, including breathing, balance, movement, and heart function worsen," it states on www.Parkinsoninfo.org.
The disease is caused by the slow deterioration of the nerve cells in the brain, which create dopamine. Dopamine is a natural substance found in the brain that helps control muscle movement throughout the body. An estimated 100,000 Canadians are living with Parkinson's.
The Shake It Up event will feature performances by Cochrane, acclaimed singer/songwriter Marc Jordan, and female folk duo Dala, plus an appearance by Olympic Games kayaking gold medallist Adam van Koeverden, who will be auctioning off a one-of-a-kind handcrafted canoe by Marc Russell of Gull Lake Boat Works (see video below), and whose father has also been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
The ticket price of $300 and the auction means the event has the potential to raise a significant figure. The website for the event states that "the financial goal of the event is to raise over $100,000," but Cochrane estimates a figure of $300,000 (or more) as a possible fundraising total. And Toronto businessman Bill Holland, executive chairman of CI Financial Corp, has pledged to match the amount raised.
"Because Bill Holland will match it, it's important for us to maximize the net of the event," says Cochrane. "Tickets have been going fast, but there are still some left."
The beneficiary of Shake It Up will be the Morton & Gloria Shulman Movement Disorders Centre at Toronto Western Hospital. Led by Dr. Anthony Lang, the Centre is recognised as a world leader in research on and treatment for Parkinson's.
The work of Toronto Western Hospital also has a special resonance for Cochrane. "My wife [Kathy] was saved by the Hospital. She'd probably be dead right now if it wasn't for her brain aneurysm operation carried out there by Dr. Wallace," he explains.
Cochrane has long been known for his willingness to donate his time and talent to a wide range of worthy causes from World Vision to Make Poverty History. In fact, at The Juno Awards earlier this year, he received the prestigious Allan Waters Humanitarian Award for his long history of charitable commitment.
Cochrane's commitment to the Parkinson's cause is also a long one. Back in 2001, he wrote the song "Just Like Ali," inspired by boxing legend Muhammad Ali, a long-time Parkinson's sufferer, and his father. On his website, he describes the song as "about inspiration — how our heroes inspire us then we pass that on — like a torch and nothing can really defeat the spirit, not even Parkinson's. I dedicate this song to my Dad and Ali."
He donated proceeds from the song to the Parkinson Society Canada, and, on October 20th 2002, Cochrane was amongst those paying tribute to Ali in person at a fundraising event at a Toronto Argonauts game at SkyDome. Proceeds from that event benefited Parkinson Society Canada and Parkinson's research at the University of Toronto. As fate would have it, Tom's father Tuck, a former bush pilot, died a month later.
Subsequently, Cochrane assisted Parkinson Society Canada by serving for three years (2005-2007) as National Honourary Chair of SuperWalk for Parkinson's, the Society's major annual fundraising event. "As a celebrity you are rather a figurehead, but I also did the Walk with Harry a couple of years ago, incognito, and that was kind of cool," he says. 2012's Parkinson SuperWalk raised $3.24 million and this year's event takes place across Canada on Sept. 7 and 8.
It was a personal pitch by Cochrane and key event organizer (chairman of the committee) Harry McMurtry that convinced Holland (whose father is living with Parkinson's) to support Shake It Up. McMurtry is a long-time close friend of Cochrane's, the singer explains.
"Harry has been a lawyer and adviser for us. By coincidence, shortly after my father died, Harry was diagnosed with Parkinson's too [in 2002]. He is the focal point of a lot of this for me. He's such a courageous and cheerful man, and he inspires me a great deal. When you see people like Harry and Michael J. Fox [who has long battled Parkinson's], you can't help but be inspired by their positivity. They're showing courage in fighting for freedom against this disease for everybody else that might get it in the future. How can you not rally behind them?"
McMurtry has received treatment at the Morton & Gloria Shulman Centre, and Cochrane has observed its results up close. "Harry had deep brain stimulation [a neurosurgical procedure] there and it has helped his condition quite a bit. That wasn't available when my dad was diagnosed. Are they closer to a direct cure? Probably a lot closer than they were 20 years ago, but there is still so much more to learn. The work continues and we can't just let it slide."【国内12月27日発売予定】アディダス オリジナルス イージー ブースト 350 V2 サタティック/サタティック/サタティック (EF2905) - スニーカーウォーズ

What exactly are inventory market sectors. The most important level which I need emphasize is that though the concept of investing by factors will not be as helpful directly to smaller traders, it does help them to get their "head round" what the larger investors, who are often occasions in charge of a given stocks value, are doing.
If in case you have ever followed the monetary information you don't have any doubt heard a number of the monetary analysts talk about some of those excessive-flying stocks that trigger you to assume, "If I only knew about these stocks before they acquired well-liked I'd lastly make some actual money." Well, discovering these stocks earlier than the analysts mention them is just not solely possible, however the more you observe what I'm going to indicate you, it is going to be very doubtless that you will discover and trade many stocks earlier than they get the widespread consideration given to them by the analysts.
An essential a part of your analysis into stock ratings and the company that you just want to spend money on additionally includes discovering out whether the corporate's cash circulate is healthy or negative wherein case it is higher to keep away from its shares.
So the metals sector of the stock market could be composed of metal producers, steel mills, gold Miners, platinum , copper and so on. If you're after the inventory market tendencies, you will get finish of day information (as well as the historical ones) from Norgate Investor Companies, AnalyzerXL, DownloadQuotes, QuotesPlus Inc., and Bigboard.
Easy – Warren Buffett's success IS as a result of random chance within the sense that he possesses and developed lots of qualities which can be uncommon in the inhabitants as a complete, including the vast majority of traders and even mutual fund and portfolio managers.

Paper or PDF?
What I want to know is, are you a paper, a PDF or both? I've set up a little poll in the sidebar so get your answers in for SCIENCE!
7 comments:
It depends on the length. I have this rule of less than 60 pages PDF is fine over 60 pages I prefer it in print. Don't ask me how I got 60 just developed over the years I guess.ReplyDelete
I always prefer paper. Recently I got Star Without Number which is an "old-school" sci-fi game. You can get the 200 page game for free, but I still went and paid the $24 to get it in hardbound paper.ReplyDelete
I'll agree with Tim and say that I will get a PDF if it is short (about 30 pages for me). Of course then I print it out so its on paper anyway.
I answered "pdf" in the survey, which is how I purchase most things, but I also buy paper copies sometimes. I like to buy a lot of things just to look at them for inspiration and reference, but which I don't "actively" use in my gaming. The bulk of those I buy as pdfs, since it saves money and space. On the other hand, when I really like a pdf I've purchased and decide it's going to be a "go-to" item for me, I'll often buy the paper copy in addition to the pdf, instead of burning an ink cartridge by printing it (which, depending on the length of the item, can be nearly as costly in paper and ink as buying the paper copy anyway). This means I may spend more money on that particular item than I otherwise would have, but overall, in the big picture, I save money, not having bought *everything* in the more expensive (and space-consuming) paper format.ReplyDelete
As a general rule, I don't pay for pdfs. I have in the past, and I've found that I just don't like using them anywhere near as much as a hardcopy. I only bother with pdfs when they are free or else dirt cheap (the only pdf purchase I have made in a long time is BEAN!).ReplyDelete
My primary use for pdfs today is as a preview for something, to see if I want to purchase a hardcopy, or for when purchasing a hardcopy is just way too expensive (such as when I bought the OD&D pdf back when it was for sale).
POD I say. Paper!ReplyDelete
Ièm a fan of paper.ReplyDelete
I prefer print, but have a pretty big collection of pdf's of things I couldn't otherwise have because they're out of print for example. I'll probably purchase some T&T solos & the Complete Dungeon of the Bear for example.ReplyDelete

Contrary to what many would tell you, Breitbart and FOX News did not create the Tea Party and the extreme Right which wants to disable Obama and his administration in any and every way possible. Instead of blaming them for creating social problems, we ought to consider the complex and numerous factors that influence what we see represented and supported in the media, and ponder how much of an effort we've made in the battle against that with which we disagree. Anything less would wrongly simplify our problems and let everyone off the hook too easily.
About Rationally Speaking
Rationally Speaking is a blog maintained by Prof. Massimo Pigliucci, a philosopher at the City University of New York. The blog reflects the Enlightenment figure Marquis de Condorcet's idea of what a public intellectual (yes, we know, that's such a bad word) ought to be: someone who devotes himself to "the tracking down of prejudices in the hiding places where priests, the schools, the government, and all long-established institutions had gathered and protected them."

It is a misconception that the for-profit media caters primarily to its audience. In fact, it is the needs of advertisers that are first and foremost. Most television advertisers crave eyeballs in the 25-45 middle-class consumer demographic. It is the job of television stations to deliver this audience and to keep them occupied.ReplyDelete
I agree with much of what you say, Michael. Certainly, there is a ready-made audience for the likes of FOX. However, you may be underestimating the degree to which people can be successfully propagandized by a relentlessly repeated message. I believe this is partially responsible for the shift to the right in American politics over the past 20-30 years.ReplyDelete
So many people look for "evidence" to support their preconceived ideas, and deliberately avoid considering possibly contrary considerations. Non sequitur illustrated this widespread approach nicely:ReplyDelete
It's worth mentioning that in this case, rather than the true believing of FOX viewers, it was the eagerness of the Obama administration to take FOX seriously that led to erroneous firing. For all I know, the average FOX viewer never believed it for a moment and didn't care, content to see, for a change, liberals being slammed by hyperbolic denunciations of racism (an American pastime if ever there was one).ReplyDelete
I think the American right is a little more savvy than they are given credit for. They simply have a taste for strange romance and even stranger logic. Reducing them to brainwashed automatons or wishful receptacles would be a mistake.
It certainly is not a myth that for-profit media firms primarily satisfy consumer demand. Obviously, cable television must cater to consumer demand, since a portion of their profits come from consumer-viewers directly. But all such media firms, cable or non-cable, must satisfy the demands of viewers. Why? Even though non-cable firms earn their profits from advertisers, advertisers must earn their profits from consumer-viewers. Its not a coincidence that the best shows, i.e., the one's that best satisfy consumer-viewer demand, are those that have the most expensive advertising slots.
If for-profit media businesses did not cater to consumer-viewer demand, no one would watch and, as a result, advertisers would lose money and, as a further result, for-profit media businesses would lose money. Ultimately, for-profit media companies satisfy consumer-viewer demand. For this reason, advertisers seek to finance such companies with capital given to them in exchange for advertising time slots.
Michael Labeit: You are not addressing key parts of my argument, and that is that the for-profit media caters to certain consumers, namely well...the profitable ones I described.ReplyDelete
As far as the dichotomy between cable and non-cable, I suppose that only matters with HBO/Showtime type cable networks that don't display traditional ads which are a small portion of the total viewership (though with in-show product placements, the line is blurring). The rest (Fox News included) sell plenty of ads.
Furthermore, saying that television channels give viewers (again, which viewers?) "what they want" based solely on ratings frankly misses the point of media policy in a civilized democracy. To provide an extreme hypothetical example: What if a television channel got permission to televise real-life inmate executions during prime-time.? I submit to you that this would receive crazy high ratings. If the role of a television channel is solely to maximize ratings and viewership (as you appear to suggest), what would be your objection to this type of programming?
PS I did not use the word 'myth' anywhere in my comment and I would
Could I suggest that the post takes a very patronizing and partisan line - assuming that there is no merit in the concerns that many right of center people have about policy issues - especially the huge government debt which quite clearly threatens the future prosperity of the US and which is at the heart of the concerns of the tea party movement. Those on the right with their misguided views constitute apparently a 'social problem'! Don't you realize that this sort of approach on the part of intellectuals only further alienates less educated right wingers who might otherwise be prepared to listen. The religion issue by the way is a separate one from the political in the sense that there are many non-religious conservatives around, even in America.ReplyDelete
I don't know if this site is normally so left wing (I recall a Chomsky quote in the margin so maybe it is). I hoped it would be truly devoted to reason and non-ideological.
Let me also endorse James' comment - I think he was reacting also to Michael De Dora's rather simplistic and patronizing view of the right.
"By blaming social problems on one man or one organization,...Contrary to what many would tell you, Breitbart and FOX News did not create the Tea Party and the extreme Right..."ReplyDelete
What you say here all seems kind of obvious. I am really sort of confused with who you think you are criticizing or are arguing against. Of course Brietbart and Fox News have a rather large segment of the population who are receptive to their ideology and propaganda. Duh!
And this is not the "extreme right wing", this is much of mainstream American. Maybe not a majority, but a significant block of the American public that are not passive receivers, but active consumers of right-wing agit-prop.
"By blaming social problems on one man or one organization,...Contrary to what many would tell you, Breitbart and FOX News did not create the Tea Party and the extreme Right..."ReplyDelete
Well this is true and clear, in the sense that particular "instance" of extreme right was not created by the FOX. On the other hand the idea behind this was strongly shaped, in the last 20 years at least, by right wing agit-prop like FOX.
And not surprisingly the same happened in Italy...
Remember, other news organizations did not ignore the Tea Party's goings-on. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC – they all covered and continue to report on the movement.ReplyDelete
I watched a clip from one of your more legitimate news sources. It was your "so called" fair minded report on a tea party get together. The camera panned up and down a gentleman wearing a large semi-automatic gun. The camera scanned up and down the person without showing his face. It was an obvious attempt to make the tea party members look dangerous or violent. But they never did show the face of the man. I finally saw the full clip on fox. The man was black. The NBC news edited it out and had an obvious agenda, to show the man as potentially violent, but not show the truth that would not fit in with the whole idea of racist tea party movement. I am sure you have no idea of this since you get your edited news. Do you ever stop to think that this is indeed propaganda? oh ya, these news organizations report on the tea party all right. They report on baseless claims of racism constantly. Yet anyone who goes to a tea party never sees it, unless it is to oust a racist that tries to align with them. So for the actual tea partiers that you may want to reach, why don't you picture this (since I am one myself). I go to these assemblies constantly. I have never seen anything remotely racist, then I have different news organizations to pick from, one of which reports the exact same thing I physically see, the others report constantly about racism in the tea party (which I have never seen). Which one am I going to watch? You better look to your own camp buddy if you want to know why the tea partiers are watching fox.
It is funny your blaming Fox news for the firing, since she was already fired before Fox even aired anything about it? Don't blame the people that jumped to a conclusion for 25 seconds of video.
In a bigger picture here, I once again see another post the avoids discussing the actual issues. Referring to the tea party as a social problem. I see the tea party as the correction for a political and social problem.
Why is it that this blog avoids the actual discussion of the issues at hand and manages as if minds can be swayed and rational thinking can be had without it. You have the same problem here as you did on your last post. You call the tea party a social problem and don't address anything about what the tea party stands for. (and I am sure you never have) As far as I am concerned, the reason for this is obvious, debate what the tea party stands for and your skeptical or rational intellectualism will be pulled apart . The actual point of your post? I think it is something to the effect of don't blame Fox for the tea party (or social problems as you put it)? Duh?
When I read crap like this, I know I am watching the correct news station.
I'm sympathetic to Sherrod's case against Breitbart, but I got into a huge fight with a friend because I stated that I didn't think she had a case. To be defamed and to prove you've been defamed are two different things. I have a feeling that Breitbart has his ducks in a row and knows how to avoid losing in court. As much as I may wish he does lose, he won't.ReplyDelete

That is funny, particularly considering that I didn't blame FOX news for the incident, but the Obama administration. But hey, don't let my actual text get in the way of a good joke. And now that we're talking about it, it seems that Sherrod resigned after FOX's first broadcast on the matter (not before). So, yeah. Funny. Here's a timelime, but feel free to do research on your own.
Most importantly: keep laughing. They say it's good for one's constitution.
"The camera panned up and down a gentleman wearing a large semi-automatic gun....... It was an obvious attempt to make the tea party members look dangerous or violent."ReplyDelete
Now don't you think somebody carrying around a large semi-automatic is somebody trying to look dangerous and violent?
As for the alleged racism of the tea party, that is perhaps to much of a broad brush. However, there have been many signs at these Tea Parties portraying Obama as some exotic African witch doctor with a bone through his nose. Gosh that couldn't be interpreted as racism could it? (read sarcasm)
when you said:
it was the eagerness of the Obama administration to take FOX seriously that led to erroneous firing.
I thought you meant it was the administration reacting to Fox's story. If you meant it in a future tense, then I apologize.
As for the alleged racism of the tea party, that is perhaps to much of a broad brush. However, there have been many signs at these Tea Parties portraying Obama as some exotic African witch doctor with a bone through his nose. Gosh that couldn't be interpreted as racism could it?
Could you please give me an example, other than the T-party Express leader that was forced to resign. (I consider the forcing of his resignation the exact behavior that shows their intentions on a whole). Since I am a member of the Plymouth Rock Tea party, and obviously have much more in depth knowledge of the tea party, I know the time we spend discussing how to handle any racist infiltration and how to insure we are void of it. Yet I have to listen to people like you telling me that we are portraying Obama with a bone in his nose.
All it is Sheldon is an attempt to not deal with the core issues we will be resolving. Call someone a racist and you can discredit them. Its the same thing the Obama campaign did when they were asked about his connections with Black Liberation theology, just call the person racist for asking and you dont have to deal with the question. The problem with this technique is that too much of the population is either in the tea party or knows it well, so the whole racism thing that your media sources fed you is not only a lie, those same sources didn't even have the courage to follow through with a real question of racism :Does Obama believe in black liberation theology, and if not, why did he spend 20 years submerged in it and never denounce it?
When you have millions of people gathering constantly, the media can create any story they want, I am sure there is a racist somewhere in the tea party with a sign, just as there is anywhere in the population.
Here is the problem Sheldon, I am part of it. I know the truth, the actual agenda. The actual words said. The actual actions taken. I see different media sources not reporting the truth. Those same sources are the ones Michael is talking about. I see one source that reports it the actual way it happens, without any spin. What am I supposed to do when I have the truth. What you just said about the tea party is not the truth. I wonder if you will repeat it again without actually going to the source to find out the truth. If NBC shows it to you, I am sure you will. Go to a tea party rally and tell me about the racism you experience, not what you see reported about it.
I wonder how your news agencies would have continued to report on the floatilla in the Gaza Strip were it not for the actual video. I certainly know how they started to report it before the video was shown.
Go to the source Sheldon and then tell me we are racist. Dont go by what you see on TV, and dont even go by Fox. The rallys are everywhere constantly, it would be a small effort to see the truth.
I am disgusted by the efforts of the left and the media to make us look racist, but on the other hand it tells me that they fear this organic movement and know the people will return government to its constitution.
If it is racism you seek Sheldon, you can find it anywhere, it has nothing to do with the tea party.
To your other point. The display of the semi automatic at this mans side was a display of his individual rights. No I dont think it was meant to look violent in any way. Why do you address that but not their reluctance to show it was a black man? If you see the video, they pan up to the bottom of his neck several times and not until the camera was pulled away from the shot do you see his color (and that was edited out). That doesn't bother you Sheldon? That the media only tells part of the story, because the other part doesn't fit with their agenda?
Look up on U tube, there is a Tea Party racism video (funded by George Sorros's group (forget the name), where some racist is going on and on about the white man etc... (he is at a tea party rally). Fox showed the entire clip where he was quickly surrounded by tea party members giving him the boot. You could even hear an older lady in the background telling him to get out and he is not wanted here. They actually used a great example of the tea party's resolve towards racism to make it look racist. I will get you a link to both videos. But point is, you want to find racism, you'll find it. If you really want to know the truth of how the tea party feels about racism, you'll find that out too.ReplyDelete
Why do you think so many people flock to Fox, the tea party has the truth about themselves, they know they are not racist, and they are not going to watch a news station lie about them.
I agree with Phil in Comment #2 - I think this post underestimates the "repeat effect" (for lack of a better phrase). I don't want to claim that this effect can explain more than it can, but I was recently reminded of this effect again while reading one of Julia's picks - 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology. As the authors point out in the introduction, word of mouth, which, in our day and age includes various media outlets, is a very powerful source of misinformation. If we base our beliefs on the "information" we are given, then we will have false beliefs. To quote:ReplyDelete
The fact that we've heard a claim repeated over and over again doesn't make it correct. But it can lead us to accept this claim as correct even when it's not. because we can confuse a statement's familiarity with its accuracy (Gigerenzer, 2007). Advertisers who tell us repeatedly that "Seven of eight dentists surveyed recommended Brightshine Toothpaste above all other brands!" capitalize on this principle mercilessly. Furthermore, research shows that hearing one person express an opinion ("Joe Smith is the best qualified person to be President!") 10 times can lead us to assume that this opinion is as widely held as hearing 10 people express this opinion once (Weaver, Garcia, Schwarz, & MIller, 2007). Hearing is often believing, especially when we hear a statement over and over again.
So this, coupled with Michael's claim that "Humans are not naturally skeptics" (which I will certainly not argue with!) leads to me to conclude that FOX News (and the media in general) could be blamed, at least in part for many of the beliefs of those who share that media outlet's own perspective.
Now, I certainly don't want to disagree with the last paragraph - Brietbart and FOX did not create the Tea Party, Birthers, or others on the wackaloon Right, but it has certainly furthered their causes. I think that is undeniable. Just think about the "repeat effect" and how, even if it only holds true for a small percentage of viewers of, say, a given TV news program, in the aggregate, it could have a very large societal impact.
P.S. Anyone have any idea why the "blockquote" HTML tag wasn't recognized? It used to be, I believe.

Should our complexity arise, the soundbites will cease and funds with them.ReplyDelete
Not to mention, the public at large loves a false dichotomy.
For example, because Michael is a pro-choice atheist and I'm a pro-life atheist, this means we are at complete odds with no room for context or discourse.
Which also means congratulations are in order. I have already put him on a placard with a pseudo-pithy statement regarding his ineptitude as a human being because of our disagreement.
Irrelevant racial epithets will follow, and of course criticizing his footwear.
It's all good, because false dichotomy's are all good, and what's all good makes for good print, and that makes advertisers really really really happy.
In the end we have to ask ourselves whether half-assed journalism is sin or not?

FOX News may have a right of center editorial bent, but it is the right of any medium to have a point of view. News-wise, FOX has been objective and reports facts. Some of its opinion shows, in prime time becuase that is where the advertising money is, tend to be strident, but no more so thatn Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are on the left-leaning MSNBC. Competitors seem to agree that FOX is a legitimate new reporting organziation, as it now has a front row seat in teh White House briefing room.ReplyDelete
This is apparently hard to accept for some on the political Left. Consider, for instance, that despite the fact that poll after poll has shown that up to half of Americans believe the world is 6,000 years old, few people I discuss such polls with believe me, dismissing the idea that so many Americans believe such a crazy thing. One can only hope that people soon overcome this inability to accept reality , for the well-being of our country, indeed our world, may depend on it.ReplyDelete
What does this have to do with your post or the media or anything about this. The reason you slide it in regardless of the fact it has nothing to do with anything on this topic is because you have yet again defined a group of people as a social problem (last time you defined them as extremists) without ever talking about what the people believe and defining why it is a social problem. So you attempt to equate them with your crazy 6000 year believer poll. Regardless that one has nothing to do with the other.
Actually defining why tea partiers or Fox viewers are a "social problem" would bring up actual debate over issues where the opposing side has a more sound logic. This is avoided for posts that just assumes they are a social problem. That in itself is nothing less than arrogance.
This is why you guys constantly refer to creationists and 6000 year old believers, it is a subject where you have sound logic and can defend it. That is why the attempt to lump the tea party with these same people. Your logic for why we should leave behind the constitution and have larger government will easily be defeated in debate. Therefor it is just easy (and arrogant) to take the next step and write posts where we can all just assume they are a social problem.
I challenge you to define why the tea party is a social problem prior to writing posts that just assumes it is true.
The Tea Partiers see this for what it is and crap like this feeds its fire. Thank you for that!
Please note that I already mentioned that saying the "Tea Party movement is racist" is a bit of a broad brush, and probably unfair. I don't doubt that you and your Tea Party fellows may indeed guard against racist infiltration, probably because it shares some politics that attracts racists. Kind of a catch 22 for you don't you think? But I think the general claim is that SOME segments of the Tea Party flirt with themes that can be interpreted as racist. There does seem to be a segment of the Tea Party movement that engages in softcore and subtle racism, not necessarily explicit KKK racism, but something more subtle.
Much of what Glen Beck and other Fox News propaganda pushes is meant to push buttons of white resentment of how "their country" is being taken from them. The drummed up threat of "Black Liberation Theology" is a case in point. I am really wondering what you think you know about "Black Liberation Theology".
Regarding the guy with the gun. I don't recall to what lengths the other media outlets went to cover up the fact that he was black. All I recall was it was clear that he was. However, to show up at a public political demonstration visibly armed is a deliberate threat that means to say, "I have a gun, and I can be provoked into using it" How else can you interpret taking an assault rifle to a public political demonstration?
Oh and by the way, I actually agree with you on some level. I don't like the label "extremist", because....well I think its meaningless and I don't have time to explain. :)
I don't doubt that you and your Tea Party fellows may indeed guard against racist infiltration, probably because it shares some politics that attracts racists. Kind of a catch 22 for you don't you think?
I completely disagree, the reason we must be so heavily guarded against it is simply because we are unfairly (as you say) be accused of it. How else does one respond when being unfair accused? As I have said, I have been to a number of these events and have yet to see any trace of it. That our politics are attracting it? Please explain? Which one of the tea party core themes attract racism.
There does seem to be a segment of the Tea Party movement that engages in softcore and subtle racism
Please explain. You are trying to walk a line with what you know to be unfair accusations (because there is literally no proof of it) without acknowledging that the tea party hasnt any higher degree of racism than does the entire population (which of course has racism).
As to our politics attracting racists, the example you give is garbage. Beck has done many shows on Black heros of the revolution. He often has MLK's niece on backing him up. He does more to stand up for what MLK stood for than the progressives trying to twist the meaning of civil rights into social justice (one of the reasons his niece appears on the show) To say this is designed at pushing the buttons of white resentment is just garbage. For the person that constantly thinks about race perhaps. I see it as a racism problem with the accuser not the accused. The amount of accusing done on by the left has done far more to set us back than anything the tea party does or stands for. None of this is about race, the person (or people) that says it is, are in the wrong for trying to make it about race.
Regarding the guy with the gun. I don't recall to what lengths the other media outlets went to cover up the fact that he was black. All I recall was it was clear that he was.
I didn't know you watched Fox?
As far as what it meant. It was right after the 5-4 supreme court ruling so I think the message was obvious, but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. My point of bringing it up was about what NBC had done with the footage. No they did not show his color.
As far as what do I know about Black liberation theology? I have read about James Cone and have actually attempted to purchase his 2nd book today with no luck at my local Borders(I may order it tonight). I have read a bit about him on the internet, but want to go to the source. I have a feeling it will not convince me that it is indeed not racist (It will be tough to read without bias due to words of Rev Wright and Black Panthers that derived from his teachings). As see it being at direct odds with what MLK stood for, but perhaps as I read his book it will convince me otherwise, but from the many quotes I have read from him, I doubt it, but perhaps they are taken out of context (I am not sure how).
As it stands I see many similarities between black liberation theology and Marxism in what it wants to accomplish, just one is trying to correlate the oppression with race.

BRP (TSX:DOO) announced Tuesday that its Evinrude brand has donated outboard engines to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences for use on two research vessels. The engines were provided as part of Evinrude's continuing support of local education and preservation of the marine environment.
"We are very grateful to the team at Evinrude for their support of our research programs," said J. Val Klump, associate dean of research and senior director of the School of Freshwater Sciences. "Our faculty and students conduct vital research on topics such as water quality, pollution identification and prevention, and improved fish breeding for urban aquaculture. These projects impact the environment, the economy and the quality of life for millions of people locally and globally, now and for future generations. Our research would not be possible without the support of like-minded and forward-thinking sponsors like Evinrude. This is why their engines, which are the cleanest combustion engines on the market, are a perfect complement to our work."
"So much of our innovation is focused on the efficiency of our Evinrude E-TEC engines and the impact of internal combustion on the environment," said Christopher Berg, global director of marketing and strategic planning, Evinrude. "We are dedicated to providing the most fuel-efficient and highest-performing outboard engines, and are proud to say that our Evinrude
E-TEC G2 engines have the lowest emissions of any combustion outboard on the market. We are proud to be associated with the current and future education and research programs conducted by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee given our shared goals."
The School of Freshwater Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the only graduate school in North America solely dedicated to freshwater issues and the largest water-focused academic research institution on the Great Lakes. Founded in 2009 on a legacy of freshwater research that began 50 years ago with the Center for Great Lakes Studies, the school studies the largest freshwater system on the Earth's surface, as well as urban rivers, storm and wastewater infrastructure, groundwater and inland lakes, aquaculture and fisheries, water robotics, and human and environmental health.
BRP's Evinrude lineup features engines from 3.5 to 300 HP. Engines are available at authorized Evinrude dealerships worldwide.

Previously, there were some conditions where paperwork application is allowed, which means that paperwork is not always available. But, now that the new regulation (PERMEN KOMINFO No. 7 Tahun 2018) has been officially applied since early August this year, now SDPPI has allowed paperwork application for all products.
However,to understand how this paperwork application works, it's better to understand the process of SDPPI application first. As for the paperwork requirements, they are:
- To do paperwork application, the main requirement is product needs to have RF and EMC test reports issued by one of SDPPI-accredited Testing Lab. This Lab could be either Accredited In-country testing Lab or Accredited International Testing Lab.
Moreover, below are several references in doing paperwork that could be beneficial to consider.
- One test report can be used by multiple companies/importers to do paperwork as long as there is authorization letter from test report owner (company "A") for other companies to allow them to use the report for certification purposes. For example, company "A" already has RF and EMC test report for product "1". Then, there are other companies "B", "C", and "D", who want to get SDPPI certification for the same product. In this case, these companies can use test reports obtained by company "A" to apply SDPPI Certification through paperwork. But, in doing this, company "A" needs to make authorization letter for other companies to allow them using the test report for the certification purposes of product "1".
- Paperwork also available for device with certified RF modules. If all RF modules inside a device have been certified by SDPPI previously, then the end product can apply by using paperwork application by enclosing block diagram, circuit diagram, module test report and certificate, EMC test report of the end product, and pictures of module's installed inside the device. Note: This paperwork application by referring to existing modular certificate is not applicable for handheld computer, tablet, and mobile phone.
That's all. If there's any more things to confirm about Conditions when paperwork application is allowable in Indonesia SDPPI Approval, you can contact our contact windows.
