2010 Gold Cup Champs Fished with Hardy Prototypes
Angler Thayne Morgan fishing with Capt. Craig Brewer, won the 2010 Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament in Islamorada, Florida fishing prototypes of Hardy's Sintrix Proaxis one piece #11 and #12 fly rods and the Fortuna X4 Big Game fly reel.
Thayne said, "Andy Mill gave us this new tackle from Hardy to test. I have fished the Sintrix rods exclusively for three weeks and they are the finest rods I have ever fished. There is only one problem. Now I have to buy a new set of fly rods."
Captain Craig Brewer knew that Hardy was on to something when Andy Mill told him to "just fish them, you don't have to worry. For six months I have been abusing monster fish with these rods. Trust me. Just fish them."
Jim Murphy, President of Hardy North America said, "We knew that when we got our product development team at Hardy to work with Andy we would access the most challenging and thorough tackle testing process we could find. Andy has handed out dozens of prototypes to the most experienced and successful guides and anglers. The tackle has been deeply bent inside out well beyond normal use. They have been proven to destroy big fish in minutes. Now they have helped to win the most coveted fly fishing tournament in the world.
Andy Mill said when he heard the news, "Our new Fortuna reel is just as revolutionary as the rods and together we can say with complete conviction that The Game Has Changed."

PISCATAWAY, NJ - Junior Richie Arenas (Guatemala City, Guatemala) scored two second-half goals to lead No. 11 Rutgers (6-2) past San Diego State, 4-1, to complete opening-night action of the 18th annual Philips/adidas Soccer Classic. The victory is also the 300th of head coach Bob Reasso's Rutgers career. The game pitted Reasso against his former player and assistant coach Lev Kirshner.
After a scoreless opening half, in which Rutgers out-shot SDSU 5-3, Arenas broke through for his fifth goal of the season when he drilled a left-footed rocket from 10-yards out off a feed from Chris Karcz (Clifton, NJ). Karcz had dribbled into the box and drew SDSU goalkeeper Colin Hanke away from the goalmouth, setting up Arenas for the game's first score at the 48:27 mark.
At the 71:25 mark, senior Josh Gros (Mechanicsburg, PA) registered his team-leading eighth goal of the season, sending home a rebounded shot to increase the lead to 2-0. Brian Johnson (Marshfield, MA) sent a cross into the box for Karcz, whose shot was saved by Hanke but squirted away to an opportunistic Gros. Just over four minutes later (75:50), Arenas drilled home a header, set up by Johnson, to put the game seemingly out of reach.
San Diego State, who entered the match 6-1-1 overall, ruined the shutout with a goal from Raul Bautista at the 84:01 mark, but Rutgers responded when Karcz scored off feeds from Gros and freshman Nick LaBrocca (Howell, NJ) just over a minute later (85:33). The four goals equaled a season high for the Scarlet Knights, achieved on two other occasions (Providence, 9/6; Pittsburgh, 9/14).
Reasso enjoyed his 300th Rutgers win tonight, adding yet another milestone to his standout 23-year coaching tenure with the Scarlet Knights. Since taking over the program in 1981, the Scarlet Knights have enjoyed 22-consecutive seasons without a losing record, including 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament and three Final Four appearances.
"This was a great win for our guys and a great night for this program," said Reasso. "The night started off with a great ceremony for two of our former players who have done a lot for this program through the years. As you get older, you realize it is more about the players and the people that come through your program and we have had truly special people come through this program. Tonight's milestone win was just a tribute to the great people we have had play for us through the years."
In the opener tonight, St. John's handed St. Mary's (CA) a 3-0 defeat.
Rutgers added two new members to its retired jersey list in a ceremony on the field prior to RU's match with San Diego State. Dave Mueller and Steve Rammel, both 1990 graduates of RU, joined six others with the prestigious honor.
The Classic continues on Sunday, when St. John's faces San Diego State and Rutgers hosts St. Mary's at 2:00 p.m.

Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:
"Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she'd already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn't seen her in a long time. And she started doing, "I've got to go," and she was just going to leave, and I was like, "Going to leave?" It felt like she was going to really leave forever.
So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, "She's leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda's leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?"
We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, "She's leaving, I don't know if you've said good-bye to her." And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know.
And because these people were really funny, every person we'd drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.
It was just one of the best parties I've ever been to in my life. I'll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her."

Optimal taxation and the skill premium
AbstractThe stylized facts suggest a negative relationship between tax progres- sivity and the skill premium from the early 1960s until the early 1990s, and a positive one thereafter. They also generally imply rising tax progressivity, except for the 1980s. In this paper, we ask whether optimal tax policy is consistent with these observations, taking into account the demographic and technological factors that have also affected the skill premium. To this end, we construct a dynamic general equilibrium model in which the skill premium and the progressivity of the tax system are endogenously determined, with the latter being optimally chosen by a benevolent government. We find that optimal policy delivers both a progressive tax system and model predictions which are generally consistent, except for the 1980s, with the stylized facts relating to the skill premium and progressivity. To capture the patterns in the data over the 1980s requires that we adopt a government policy which is biased towards the interests of skilled agents. Thus, in addition to demo- graphic and technological factors, changes in the preferences of policy-makers appear to be a potentially important factor in determining the evolution of the observed skill premium.

Failing to register people who engage in securities transactions can result in disciplinary charges being brought against the member. Prior to becoming registered as an associated person, all individuals must be sponsored by a member firm. All sponsoring firms are required to ascertain the applicants:
- Business character
- Educational background
- Professional background
- Sale of securities
- Has access to or contact with cash or securities
- Has access to or prepare records of original entry
- Individuals who supervise individuals engaged in any of the activities listed
State RegistrationIn addition to registering with FINRA, all broker dealers and agents must register in their home state as well as in any state in which they transact business.
Retail Communications / Communications with the Public
Member firms will seek to increase their business and exposure through the use of both retail and institutional communications. There are strict regulations in place in order to ensure all communications with the public adhere to industry guidelines. Some communications with the public are available to a general audience and include:
- Television / radio
- Publicly accessible websites
- Motion Pictures
- Newspapers / magazine
- Telephone directory listings
- Signs / billboards
- Computer / internet postings
- Video tape displays
- Other public media
- Recorded telemarketing messages
- Market reports
- Password protected websites
- Telemarketing scripts
- Form letters or emails (sent to more than 25 people)
- Circulars
- Research reports
- Printed materials for seminars
- Option worksheets
- Performance reports
- Prepared scripts for TV or radio
- Reprints of ads or sales literature
Retail communication is defined as any written communication distributed or made available to 25 or more retail investors in a 30 day period. The communication may be distributed in hard copy or in electronic formats. The definition of a retail investor is any investor who does not meet the definition of an institutional investor. Retail communications now contain all components of advertising and sales literature. All retail communications must be approved by a registered principal prior to first use. The publication of a post in a chat room or other online forum will not require the prior approval of a principal so long as such post does not promote the business of the member firm and does not provide investment advice. Additionally generic advertising will also be exempt from the prior approval requirements. All retail communication must be maintained by the member for three years. If the member firm is a new member firm which has been in existence for less than 12 months based on the firm's approval date in the central registration depository or CRD the member must file all retail communications with FINRA 10 days prior to its first use unless the communication has been previously filed and contains no material changes or has been filed by another member such as investment company or ETF sponsor. Member firms who have been established for more than 12 months may file retail communications with FINRA 10 days after the communication is first used. Investment companies, ETF sponsors and retail communications regarding variable annuities must be filed 10 days prior to first use. If the communication contains non standardized performance rankings. Should FINRA determine that a member firm is making false or misleading statements in its retail communications with the public, FINRA may require the member to file all of its retail communication with the public with the association 10 days prior to its first use.
Institutional Communications
Intuitional communication is defined as any written communication distributed or made available exclusively to institutional investors. The communication may be distributed in hard copy or in electronic formats. Institutional communications do not have to be approved by a principal prior to first use so long as the member has established policies and procedures regarding the use of institutional communications and has trained its employees on the proper use of institutional communication. Institutional communication is also exempt from FINRA's filing requirement but like retail communications it must be maintained by a member for three years. If the member believes that the institutional communication or any part thereof may be seen by even a single retail investor the communication must be handled as all other retail communication and is subject to the approval and filing requirements as if it was retail communication. An institutional investor is a person or firm that trades securities for his or her own account or for the account of others. Institutional investors are generally limited to large financial companies. Because of their size and sophistication, fewer protective laws cover institutional investors. It is important to note that there is no minimum size for an institutional account. Institutional investors include:
- Broker dealers
- Investment advisers
- Investment companies
- Insurance companies
- Banks
- Trusts
- Savings and loans
- Government agencies
- Employment benefit plans with more than 100 participants
- Any non natural person with more than $50,000,000 in assets
Correspondence consists of electronic and written communications between the member and up to 25 retail investors in a 30 calendar day period. With the increase in acceptance of email as business communication, it would be impractical for a member to review all correspondence between the member and a customer. The member instead may set up procedures to review a sample of all correspondence, both electronic and hard copy. If the member reviews only a sample of the correspondence, the member must train their associated people on their firm's procedures relating to correspondence and must document the training and ensure the procedures are followed. Even though the member is not required to review all correspondence, the member must still retain all correspondence. The member should, where practical, review all incoming hard copy correspondence. Letters received by the firm could contain cash, checks, securities, or complaints.
Broker Dealer Websites
A broker dealer will not be deemed to have a place of business in a state where it does not maintain an office simply by virtue of the fact that the publicly available website established by the firm or one of its agents is accessible from that state so long as the following conditions are met:
- The website clearly states that the firm may only conduct business in states where it is properly registered to do so
- The website only provides general information about the firm and does not provide specific investment advice
- The firm or its agent may not respond to internet inquiries with the intent to solicit business without first meeting the registration requirements in the state of the prospective customer
Generic Advertising
Generic advertising is generally designed to promote firm awareness and to advertise the products and services generally offered through the firm. Generic ads will generally include:
- Securities products offered, i.e. stocks, bonds, mutual funds
- Contact name, number and address
- Types of accounts offered, i.e. individual, IRA, 401K

The restore of my wife's iPhone 4 finally took. I don't know why, but it wasn't working if I followed AT&T's instructions of simply restoring the phone within iTunes.
This is the procedure that worked:
On the iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset and Erase All Content.
From iTunes:
Don't restore the backup just yet, instead set it up as a new phone, with a different name than before.
Once that's complete, hit the Restore button.
After all that, I was greeted with the message I'd been looking for.
Now go ahead and restore the old backup that you made (you did make a backup, right?) before you started this whole have-AT&T-unlock-your-out-of-contract-iPhone pipe dream.

This is called a "diminished capacity" defense. The argument is that you admit you broke the law, but your actions should be excused because your mental functions were impaired so much you didn't know what you were doing was wrong ("I was so stoned I don't remember last Wednesday, much less the Taco Bell I robbed and the bad checks I wrote.") Please note that diminished capacity is not a medical diagnosis; it is a legal concept. A doctor might be able to say how impaired you might have been, but only in court will you be found to have "diminished capacity."
But too bad, Mississippi has rejected the diminished capacity defense. Mississippi courts have held time and again that only a true "insanity" defense offers any "mental defense" to a crime. This is from the Mississippi Supreme Court: "[I]f a person, when sober, is capable of distinguishing between right and wrong and voluntarily intoxicates or drugs himself to the extent that he does not know or understand his actions, e.g., steals, robs, or murders, he is responsible and he may be convicted and sentenced for the crime." Smith v. State, 445 So.2d 227, 231 (Miss.1984).
Mental issues are frequently a part of criminal cases. Although diminished capacity is not recognized as a defense in Mississippi, there may be other ways that mental issues may be utilized in your defense. To ensure that these issues are explored and used to their maximum effect in your case, give me a call and we'll discuss.
If you or a family member have been arrested, or are under investigation in the state of Mississippi and you need help, give me a call at 601-991-1099. If you live outside of Jackson, Mississippi, call my Toll-Free Line at 866-991-1555.
Or you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Estimating the Effects of Private School Vouchers in Multi-District Economies
AbstractThis paper estimates a general equilibrium model of school quality and household residential and school choice for economies with multiple public school districts and private (religious and non-sectarian) schools. The estimates, obtained through full-solution methods, are used to simulate two large-scale private school voucher programs in the Chicago metropolitan area: universal vouchers and vouchers restricted to non-sectarian schools. In the simulations, both programs increase private school enrollment and affect household residential choice. However, under non-sectarian vouchers private school enrollment expands less than under universal vouchers and religious school enrollment declines for large vouchers. Fewer households benefit from non-sectarian vouchers.

New York trip, DVD stuff
Posted by thaytan under GStreamer, Life
[10] Comments
We're leaving tomorrow afternoon for 11 days holiday in New York and Washington D.C. While we're there, I'm hoping to catch up with Luis and Krissa and Thom May. It's our first trip to either city, so we're really excited – there's a lot of fun, unique stuff to do in both places and we're looking forward to trying to do all of it in our short visit.
On the GStreamer front, I just pushed a bunch of commits I've been working on for the past few weeks upstream into Totem, gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-bad. Between them they fix a few DVD issues like multiangle support and playback in playbin2. The biggest visible feature though is the API that allowed me to (finally!) hook up the DVD menu items in Totem's UI. Now the various 'DVD menu', 'Title Menu' etc menu items work, as well as switching angles in multiangle titles, and it provides the nice little 'cursor switches to a hand when over a clickable button' behaviour.
I actually had it all ready yesterday, but people told me April 1 was the wrong day to announce any big improvements in totem-gstreamer DVD support

Fantastic! I can't wait till this makes it to my OpenSolaris desktop in a future build
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Nice work, do you have a screenshot? You know, we all love screenshots.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Thanks for your efforts, Jan. DVD playback is the big Achille's heel of Gstreamer. Please make it robust and powerful soon. Not that GNOME/Gstreamer lacks in this area in the much anticipated 3.0 release.
April 3rd, 2009 at 10:46 pm
And one additional question: Would it be feasible to packport these patches to the soon upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 by the Ubuntu community?
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:20 pm
@Ché: Not sure any of this code will ship with OpenSolaris, since it depends on stuff like libdvdnav that's problematic to ship. I imagine there'll be add on packages somewhere though (maybe there already are?)
@amano: It could probably all be backported into Jaunty, yes. The GStreamer bits are pretty easy – just cherry picking the commits. The totem piece might be a little more work, as there's been other development in the GStreamer backend that you wouldn't want to pick up, and it might require some manual merging.
April 3rd, 2009 at 11:46 pm
There is an ARC for libdvdnav to be included in OpenSolaris…not sure of it's status though
April 5th, 2009 at 3:05 am
Jan, does resindvd element still requires –enable-experimental in GIT master or it is now just enabled by default if dvdnav headers are there?
Anyway, thanks for all the work, can't wait for getting it in mainstream Ubuntu.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:25 am
@peteris – no, it builds by default if a sufficient version of libdvdnav is available
April 6th, 2009 at 10:22 am
This is a great day for all the Totem users – thanks! I too hope that this will some how make it's way to 9.04.
April 6th, 2009 at 10:30 am
…and by 9.04 I of course mean the next version of Ubuntu (first we started to speak of Ubuntu instead of Linux, now we just say a version number 8.10, 9.04, etc

Interesting question, but can you just clarify, do you mean what job would I want to have?
Edit: Well since you're not replying I'll assume that's what you mean. And actually, if I didn't have to bear any consequences, I would want to do so much! I mean at the moment I've chosen Medicine and that is what I want to do, but it does upset me sometimes that there are so many things that interest me, that I enjoy, that I will never be able to do, because it's simply not feasible to do them all! I would still want to be a doctor for a little while, then I'd like to study Law and be a lawyer, be a novelist, do a degree in French then live in an apartment in France and work in a bookshop… become an actress, star in a few really amazing films… then study Maths and Programming and become some sort of programmer. Work for Google. WORK FOR TUMBLR. And be a vlogger/blogger the whole time.
There's probably a whole lot more I'd like to do too - definitely would want to travel the world. So I guess you could say I'm interested in a lot of things. I think my main problem is that I feel that the world is too big and full of amazing things to do for one tiny life-span. You gotta pick which is annoying, but I am happy with my choices. (Doesn't mean I'll stop dreaming about being a famous lawyer/novelist/actress/librarian/blogger/programmer though.)
Last night I had a dream… happy but sad. Comforting but scary. Bright and yet, somehow dark. I remember smiling, and I remember crying too. And the problem is, I have no idea what it was. I've been trying to remember it all day, but the more I think about it the more it slips away. Thinking about it feels like trying to remember someone I never knew, or remember a place I've never been to… I feel nostalgic, almost sad in a way, like I've lost a happy memory, or forgotten something special or… I don't even know. And I feel like I want to hold onto it because it's special but I just have no idea what it is.
I must sound really odd. I've been feeling weird all day. Not in a bad way, but not really in a good way either… I'm just curious as to what part of my subconscious thoughts this dream was inspired by ~
(Source: healthynarcissism)
(Source: healthynarcissism)
Guess I should get off Tumblr sometime soon..
I had the most bizarre dreams last night. All Nintendo related. It was a mixture of Zelda and Pokemon. Basically I was Link, and I finished the game, but no one cared and I was running around like SHOULDN'T SOMETHING HAPPEN NOW I'VE FINISHED THE GODDAMN QUEST.. and nothing was happening. Zelda, you bitch. D:
I'll tell you more about it after my exam since I'm finding it really difficult to type (my fingers don't function properly when I've just woken up o.o)
Wish me luck! And good luck to all those who are doing Maths today too. I'm off to get my very very very strong coffee x
it's 2am. i have wake up at some point tomorrow.. whoops. goodnight!

Made by Yuli from Movable Hype / Pink Mafia
Representing for all the thick girls out there.
The photo shoot I did for the blog I write for Pink Mafia finally came out where I got to dress up like Beth Ditto.
Check it out.
A couple shots from my Beth Ditto inspired shoot were released as a teaser on my blog Pink Mafia
The entire set gets released May 16. So stoked.
Today I dressed as Beth Ditto in a photo shoot for the blog I write for Pink Mafia.
This is just one of the shots from the shoot.
I'm serving up fierce realness.
Toronto has waited a long time for Sebastian to come. Thanks to the wonderful promoters over at Embrace and Hoxton, they brought this Parisian producer over to give Toronto a chance to experience his punchy beats & electro sounds live and in person.
To read my full review, visit: http://pinkmafia.ca/blog/2011/09/11/sebastian-live-the-hoxton-september-8-2011/
The summer has been good to Adam Granduciel and the guys in Philadelphia-based band War on Drugs. Not only did they release their critically praised (and fan loved) second album, "Slave Ambient". But they've been touring around North America, making a stop in Toronto just prior to album release. I had the chance to catch up with Adam Granduciel who spoke candidly about what Slave Ambient meant to him, what the audience reaction has been and what is life like on the road.
Check out the interview I did with War on Drugs here: http://pinkmafia.ca/blog/2011/09/08/a-slave-to-the-war-on-drugs/
Look at this interview I did with SebastiAn!!
Electro producer SebastiAn, of Ed Banger Records is making the trip to Toronto (finally) for a once in a lifetime appearance at the Hoxton on September 8, 2011.
SebastiAn has been known to produce some of his rad tracks like CTFO or Embody, but he has been huge on the remix scene for some time now putting his touch on track for Daft Punk, Cut Copy and Uffie.
We got SebastiAn to take our infamous 20 Questions and here is what he had to tell us at Pink Mafia:
Alright people if you don't know who Jillionaire is, get familiar. With over fifteen years of experience, Jillionaire has a unique sound which mashes indie dance with big room house, caribbean rhythms of soca and dancehall and moombahton. He is signed to Mad Decent. He is good friends with Paul Devro and Toddla T. Makes incredible mixes that make you long for the beach (as seen here) and he is playing at Camp Bisco in Mariaville, New York taking place from July 7-9, 2011. If none of that convinced you, then check out the hilarious answers he gave to our 20 Questions.
John Dadzie aka 12th Planet isn't your typical dubstep DJ. At first glance, he has the fashion sense of a hipster & skater combined. If your parents met him, they would think he's quite the charmer. But once the sun goes down this tall, skinny, soft-spoken musician puts his pearly whites to bed and let's the bass take over. This veteran DJ (5+ years) transforms into a presences on stage that captivates every ounce of your attention.

The Trump Network Is Dead
Donald Trump Bailed Out…
Donald Trump has pulled the plug on his brand, the Trump Network in short order after the recent sale of the company to Antoine Nohwa. The Trump brand has been removed entirely from the website and all products are repackaged with Bioceutica branding.
Insiders expect as these were outstanding products in customized nutrition and medical grade supplementation, the product line will survive under the new branding. But the Trump name disappeared last Friday…
Our informers think that the royalties paid for the name were a steep liability to the MLM company rather than the gold mine they all hoped.
In March of 1997, Ideal Health started and is renamed in 2009 as The Trump Network when Donald Trump came in. Estimated revenue in 2010 $20 million, active 21,000 distributors. A review about the Trump Network is here
Mr Trump, you are fired from this MLM opportunity!

What a shame Ted. Much as I don't like to see success based on the back of one person, the excitement and promise brought by the Trump brand when DT first put his name to this will be missed (by some at least).
- March 26, 2012 at 9:31 pm
I think Donald Trump should join mygourmetcoffeehouse.com right now and assist our company in becoming the most amired company in the world. He should start at the bottom like we do and truly build a network that will help million's of families worldwide as we take our company to a billion company. Remembering it's easy it's simple it's coffee.
- March 26, 2012 at 9:37 pm
No surprise The Trump name is a negative and the products very ordinary
- March 26, 2012 at 9:41 pm
Last week I wrote a blog called Home Business Reality - Did Donald Trump Get Fired by Average Networkers? Two Reasons and Three Lessons. It is time to start at the bottom with real People Power and not at the top with self-branded gurus of any variety. My refrain for years now...can't duplicate the Trumps of this world but the Jacks and Jills!
- March 26, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Oh well so The Donald is human after all. Seems like more and more MLM companies feel that bringing on celebrities will encourage ordinary folks to join. I believe that MLM stands on its own merits and has always been intended for ordinary folks to have a greater advantage for success based on their chosen MLM opportunities Its the training and belief in themselves that drives our industry whether they have celebrities involved or not. Donald leaving just shows how little he means in the grand scheme of things.
- March 26, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Good for the network and Internet Marketing industry. Thanks Donald for your insights. You're fired! You made the best decision..we are sure. The Canada team. - http://www.originpure.com/canada

Surprised it lasted as long as it did. If a company's image is completely attached to a celebrity, it's difficult to get people to really care or be passionate about its mission. Jonathan Gilliam www.socialmediafordirectselling.com

Unfortunately Trump damaged his name big time when he went political. He pissed off at the very lease half the public.
- March 26, 2012 at 10:21 pm
The Trump Network finally bit the big one, something most of us thought would have happened much earlier. Like him or loathe him, Trump licensed his name to this enterprise for a reason: he knew from his connection with Robert Kiyasaki that network marketing has huge potential to drive massive profit. The company he chose to associate with had decent products, but the management never could pull the operation and marketing together to capitalize on Trump's brand. As a former member of the Trump network, I know there was a stellar cast of top-flight leaders who were never given the opportunity to go to market. The products were expensive, and the comp plan complicated. No online marketing was permitted that used Trump's name, obviously the biggest asset the company had. Perhaps Trump's lawyers made it difficult legally to take full advantage of Trump's name and the company was hamstrung. I liked the executives personally, but they didn't make it easy on us or even themselves to exploit the potential. You can see by the numbers what I'm talking about. Estimated revenue of only $20M after 15 years in business. We knew the company was pedestrian when we signed up, but with The Donald onboard and endorsing the company, thought we could make the parent company top-tier. Such was not to be. This article blames Trump for the debacle. Not everything that Trump does works out. Nobody bats 100%. But the Trump Network should have been a raving success. The fact that it wasn't is a shame for the industry, but the fault isn't his. Trump doesn't tolerate losers within his universe that could tarnish his brand, so when the company was sold, he saw his moment and pulled his name. Onward and Upward!

Back in 2005, prior to my current position with Numis Network, I hired and trained salespeople for a large real estate training/coaching company with 'The Donald' called Trump Institute. We'd help Real Estate Newbies analyze properties, structure contracts, evaluate cash flows, etc. I found the Trump name to be vastly overrated. He's diluted his brand. Seems to me that he's been putting his name on too many things. (Trump 'Water'? for goodness sake).
- March 26, 2012 at 11:21 pm
I feel so sorry for the distributors who I am sure worked their tails off to help themselves and their families. I understand business is business it is just bad when it affects so many hard workers.

We're in the Wellness Industry specifically the health and nutrition business...We have exclusive marketing rights to a powerful group of products that are whole food Super food based. They provide essential nutrients that the body needs while at the same time remove harmful toxins from peoples' bodies leaving them feeling healthy and helping them to avoid illness and disease. I am looking for some KEY networkers to build up a team who want to be at the beginning of a life changing opportunity to help other people in need. The company's goal and model is to be sharing information about our products with people and who would like to earn some extra money from home while improving their health by using the simple tools the company provides. Oh, by the way, everything we do is at wholesale. They'll share this information with others the same way, who will share it with even more people and so on and you get paid every time someone in your customer base makes a purchase. That's all there is to it...and before you know it you'll be earning the (amount) per month that you're looking to make if you're open to this opportunity. We have the ownership, products (top of the line) and leadership team to become a billion dollar brand and those who join now will be financially free for years to come

- March 27, 2012 at 3:41 am
Wow, how about that. Not too surprised about that. Thanks for the update and post.
- March 27, 2012 at 6:38 am
A friend tried to get me involved with The Trump Network. I just laughed and told her it would not last. She had a team and had never earned more than me as a NIKKEN Independent Consultant. Plus, NIKKEN's products are much more superior. Plus, our nutritionals are Organic. Donald Trump is awesome, but as we all know, most of the companies and casinos he owned all have had problems.
- March 27, 2012 at 6:51 am
That Trump photo should instead say : "I'm Fired!"
- March 27, 2012 at 2:42 pm
What a shame. The sad part is now many reps will be on the run, which means they never believed in the product to begin with.
- March 30, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Hi Raphael, Good to see you here on this site. I am a nutritionist and the products are the reason why is started with the company 4 years ago when it was Ideal Health. Customized vitamins made for your body based on a test from the top lab in the nation was brilliant. My own customized vitamins completely turned my health around 100% despite having an impeccable daily diet, fitness and supplementation plan.

I was in the Trump Network at the official launch. I was skeptical of the company Ideal Health because they had already been in business for a decade without much success. I figured Donald did due diligence and saw potential. Early on, I could tell why the founders hadn't had much success. They did really have a good plan in place and they didn't deliver on a lot they promised. Also, I began to realize that just because you have a brand name doesn't mean you can sell anything. Trump and health and wellness don't go together. The guy is not even in shape. He should have been involved in a business people could envision Trump being involved in like energy deregulation or something. I can see the name Trump Energy. That's big business and that's what people expect from the Donald but he tried to take the easy route with this nutrition company. That's why he had success promoting ACN because people could see him being involved in telecommunications, energy, technology. That's big business. But vitamins...vitamins. Im just glad I saw the flaws and got out early.

As one of the leaders and top income earners in The Trump Network, I have to express that this was a very unfortunate turn of events and it is something that no one ever wants to see happen or experience. The former owners of TTN owe many of us and our teams large sums of unpaid commissions which I am sure we will never see. There was however a silver lining to all of this and that is that most of us found a new home in a company called SISEL International. Over 20 of the highest paid people in the company (Diamond directors and above) moved to this cutting-edge, science based company with our teams and are being paid 3x what TTN paid out. There's always a blessing in the midst of turmoil and we've chosen to make lemonade out of lemons and it tastes good.

Not the Sisel with Tom Mower.... who has just been to jail for fraud. Who preached morals to to people and 'the family'... only to have an affair with his russian translator and have an acrimonious divorce which killed his company ...Tom Mower. Good lord.... do your research!

Singapore Sam, no one is beyond reproach in some cases. And many people feel they were defrauded by him in some way, shape or form. But Tom did the time and paid the price for whatever he was involved in. And now it appears he has returned to the industry with a new found vision to build a company the right way and avoid the mistakes of the past. He has that right just as you and I do. And hopefully, integrity and transparency is at the forefront of his new company operations. Perhaps some ex-members/distributors from his last company who felt "defrauded" have chosen to move forward, leave the past behind, and join his new company in the hopes that things will turn out a lot better than in the past. I could be mistaken. And, as is usually the case, time will tell.

As a member of IdealHealth and Trump I have stuck in this and we are in a better position then ever before. Antione is truly amazing and does not need a name like Donald Trump to market this company. Unfortunately Trump never marketed the company and our hands were tied due to his labeling. For those that obviously looked at the money and not the products as they professed day in and day out I wish them well. This company as Bioceutica is going to go from good to great.
- March 30, 2012 at 10:52 pm
Donald even endorsed the ACN Network but again it was just an endorsment. Donald is smart enough to have exit clauses in his contract, most successfull Entrepreneurs including the billionaires, always have a plan b, c & d...believe me it probably had a minimal affect to Donalds bank account, but the reputation was not high..I think his research team did a rush job...thats why some of them are no longer there...so its quite fishy. Fell sorry for the Indep. Reps. I got in & out really fast with council from succesful family members. Cheers Brian

Jackie your are absolutely right, it was not and easy decision that some of us made and it was not made lightly, the people we worked are our friends and we considered them part of our family. It is very hard to leave a business when you believe in what your doing and in the products you were sharing had an amazing effect on your health. And, those of us that were financially forced to look elsewhere for a new business, were blessed in finding our silver lining in all of this uncertainty, and finding a new home and family with SISEL International. I feel very blessed to be a part of this wonderful team and family, and having some wonderful health results on our products that are amazing in everyway. Also, choosing this as my new business has allowed me to help supplement my husband and my income in these trying economic times. And I do like our lemonade it is the best I have every tasted.

Without field leadership who really understand how to create duplicatable systems, all companies eventually flatten out and start going backwards. With celeberty driven companies this happens even quicker, because many people have the feeling that the celebrity will make them successful. The only way to become successful in ANY network marketing company is to develop the skill sets and attitudes necessary for success. Network marketing is not the lottery! You must learn how to prospect for leads, enroll people and develop leaders.
- April 3, 2012 at 9:06 pm
You can't put lipstick on a pig and turn it into a babe! Trump doesn't know anything about network marketing! It is amazing so many people got suckered into this 'get rich' concept. Americans also forget that Trump is a very 'creepy' brand internationally. Terrible for networking. He's no Mary Kay.

Jackie Christiansaen and all the other consultants who lost out, I apologize to all of you. It might be hard to trust another Company, but please check out Nikken. I have been involved with this company for over 10 years and once you earn a rank you never lose it. I am seriously looking for business builders. If interested in just taking a look and maybe conversing, please feel free to contact me. Nikken's Organic and Kosher certified line of nutritionals also changed my life and I think you all would love our products.

I have heard the Bioceutica is bringing on Candace Keefe, formally from Arbonne and Apriori Beauty. I cannot find info of this on the web. Has anyone heard this or know anything?
- August 13, 2012 at 12:15 am
Yes Sara I heard the same thing! Rumor has it that Candace Keefe is joining Bioceutica, the former Trump network, as the CEO.

Tidy Plates is the best DPS threat addon.
Omen was great in its day for a meter on the screen - but Tidy Plates changes the look of a name plate if you've got, are losing,or are gaining threat on it. For a DPS in the thick of the action - this is more useful.
Its what I use as a tank too - if there's an add I've lost, I can click its Tidy Plate and now its my target to do my moves on.
For warning and notices, look at Weak Auras.
- A low resource and easy to configure addon similar to powerauras. You can set up on-screen notices for various events anywhere on screen you personally benefit best having them.
- I still use this to let me track the counter for the boss in H:Blackrock Mountain so that I can have the center of my screen show a giant set of numbers to tell me how many stacks I've got. That way I don't need to be looking at the corner or something at a buff bar. For that one fight - I've no excuse to be stupid as it becomes the center of my screen, and then unloads itself as soon as we're done there.
I personally like using omen and TP together. Some bosses tend to be so large that you never even see their hitbox and the warning sound from Omen is a clear reminder to me that I have a threat drop ability and should use it. Though since the threat hotfix I haven't heard that sound once, I'm contemplating removing Omen next time it calls for an update.

Lionsgate's TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D hits theaters in just a few weeks on Jan. 4. Check below for all of the details on the upcoming horror flick in the popular franchise, including the latest trailer!
Genre: Horror
Rating: R for strong grisly violence and language throughout.
U.S. Release Date: January 4, 2013
Running time: 92 minutes
Lionsgate's TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family - or so they thought.
Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman namEd Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion's dank cellars...
With gruesome surprises in store for a whole new generation, TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D stars Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeager, Tremaine 'Trey Songz' Neverson, Scott Eastwood, Tania Raymonde, Shaun Sipos, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, James MacDonald, Thom Barry, Paul Rae and Richard Riehle, along with special appearances from four beloved cast members from previous installments of the franchise: Gunnar Hansen (the original Leatherface), Marilyn Burns, John Dugan and Bill Moseley. The film is directed by John Luessenhop (TAKERS), from a screenplay by Adam Marcus & Debra Sullivan and Kirsten Elms, based on a story by Stephen Susco and Adam Marcus & Debra Sullivan and based on characters created by Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper, and produced by Carl Mazzocone. Lionsgate presents a Millennium Films production and Main Line Pictures production.

The extent and nature of opportunity identification by experienced entrepreneurs
AbstractGuided by insights from cognitive theories, this article explores the links between entrepreneurs' prior business ownership experience and their opportunity identification behavior. Hypotheses were tested using data from 630 entrepreneurs. Experienced entrepreneurs identified more opportunities and exploited more innovative opportunities with greater wealth creation potential. Entrepreneurs that had owned more than 4.5 businesses, however, identified fewer opportunities. The nature of prior business ownership experience also shaped opportunity identification behavior. An inverse U-shaped relationship was detected between the proportion of failed businesses relative to the number of businesses owned and the number of opportunities identified in a given period. Business failure experience was not associated with the innovativeness of exploited opportunities.

(WHAS11)- It could be a career ending injury for former Louisville basketball star Edgar Sosa.
Sosa broke his leg Sunday in the final seconds of a game between the Dominican National team and Panama.
Sosa had been playing for his national team that is coached by UK's John Calipari.
"It's one of the most devastating things I've ever been through," Calipari said after the game, adding that it ripped him apart.
At the end of the game, Edgar Sosa drove to the basket going up for a shot and came down violently, breaking both his tibia and fibula.
It happened with less than a minute to play and the Dominican team up 20.
Calipari has spoken about how Sosa was using this opportunity to create a career in the NBA. Now, everything is in doubt.
After the game, Calipari, notably upset, said "It's one of the most devastating things I've ever been through. I've been through one other thing like this and that's when Marcus Camby passed out in the hallway during warm-ups. We didn't know if he had died of a heart attack. That just ripped me apart. This is the same thing."

I get a call at work last night at about 3:15AM from a paramedic, telling me that Phil is being taken to the hospital. He says 'phil called us, he blew his nose and got a nosebleed and it won't stop. everything is just fine, don't rush, he just wanted me to call you to let you know.' How could any reasonable girlfriend not panic. Regardless, I got to the hospital and they were mostly done fixing Phil up. I could tell he was in a lot of pain. His eyes were watering and he didn't open his eyes or move much. They had put a device in his nose called a 'rhino rocket.' Find this on Google. It is crazy. It's a 'packing' balloon that inflates to put pressure on the walls of the nose to keep it from bleeding. The doc said he would need to leave it in his nose until Monday, and go to an ENT.
I took him home from the hospital and he was in so much pain he could barely move. His face was puffed up on one side and even his eye was swollen and tearing up. After hours of getting only slightly better, we went back to the ER later that morning to see if they could take the thing out. They told us Phil would have to leave it in, because what would likely happen is that his nose would start gushing again, and they would just have to have another one put in. After much pleading, the nurse did take a little of the air out of the balloon, which helped relieve a ton of pressure from Phil's face. We went home with a syringe so we could make slight adjustments at home.
Things have been much better since. Phil has been resting a lot since the hospital. Needless to say, it was really scary and I'm going to be taking some time off of work to care for Phil. I'm so grateful that in the short time we've been in Austin, we've met so many generous, kind and big-hearted friends here. Thank you to our wonderful and supportive families and every single person that's sent a message or made a visit or other gesture of kindness to check on Phil. You are wonderful.
