Paint was white with a blue pearl, and had a hint of bowling ball paint in it. Had a custom Forgiato grille made for the truck too! Interior looked to be grey suede and leather, and had a sunroof on it! It was nice. At Forgiato Fest 2012 in Miami, FL

Successful Knotfest U.S.A. plus successful Ozzfest Japan equals successful Knotfest Japan.
That's the equation behind the first-ever Knotfest Japan festival, set to take place in Tokyo this November, featuring Knotfest creators Slipknot and a slew of other hard-hitters.
On the festival's official website , the Japanese promoter promises many other bands to be announced as well as everything that fans encountered at the band's stateside Knotfest in 2012: "An apocalyptic underworld with firebreathers, nightmarish creatures on stilts, fire and percussive light, and stunning visuals." There also will be a Slipknot mini-museum with pieces of the band's stage sets and props from years past.
In a promo video for Knotfest Japan, Shawn "Clown" Crahan promises "many great bands. This is a culture thing, an important thing, and I hope you're ready for what's next."
The original Knotfest featured Slipknot, as well as Lamb of God, Deftones, Serj Tankian, Machine Head, Prong , and others.
Knotfest Japan will take place on November 15 and 16 at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo.

This is great way for the environmentally conscious to heat their homes. The fuel container is very easy to refill, and it even includes a cover for quenching the fire if fuel still remains in the holder.

it's not about you "not being echelon" because you don't like the new album. it's not about Jared "calling you names". it's not about you being disappointed or disenchanted. it's not about you losing interest in or respect for them. it's about you ruining everything with your negativity for those who are actually in love with the new album and excited about the new era. stop being so selfish! you are free to state your opinion but learn how to do it in a sophisticated way without causing any trouble. also, take responsibility for your words and put your name under it.
I second that.
I want to kiss whoever posted this
This, thank you.
To put it in the most concise way, it's not about YOU period. The community is the place for enjoying and celebrating...

The Legend of Stanley Kubrick, from Room 237 to Moonwalkers
Moonwalkers will be the first feature film for Antoine Bardou-Jacquet, the director of many memorable and innovative commercials and music videos, and it has been written by Death at a Funeral's Dean Craig.
Ron Perlman mentioned the film in his recent 'Ask Me Anything' session at Reddit, though he didn't give away which role he'll be playing in the film. As the only known American in the cast we expect he'll take on the part of a Tom Kidman, a CIA agent despatched to England to find Stanley Kubrick in July 1969, in order to enlist the director in a project to fake the moon landing.
In this case, the counterfeit is only being prepared as insurance should the real Apollo mission fail. But Kidman's own mission goes wrong first, and instead of recruiting Kubrick, the CIA man ends up working with a Swingin' London rock band manager whose ideas of getting really high don't involve him waiting for NASA to countdown from ten. Misfits' Robert Sheehan and Harry Potter's Rupert Grint will round out the film's main cast.

Storrs, CT (SportsNetwork.com) - Shabazz Napier scored 18 points and pulled down seven rebounds as the Connecticut Huskies survived their meeting with Harvard, 61-56, a non-league affair at Gampel Pavilion.
Napier, who handed out four assists, shot just 4-of-12 from the field overall for the Huskies (12-3), although three of those conversions came from behind the 3-point line. Ryan Boatright pitched in with 14 points and DeAndre Daniels 11 to go along with eight rebounds and four blocked shots for a UConn squad that snapped a two-game slide.
The Crimson (13-2) were paced by Siyani Chambers who tallied a game-high 21 points on 5-of-7 shooting beyond the arc. Laurent Rivard chipped in 13 points, four assists and four steals, while Kyle Casey came up a rebound shy of a double-double as he posted 10 points. The setback halted a nine-game win streak by Harvard.
UConn shot an impressive 57.9 percent from the field in the first half, but the team converted only 1-of-3 at the free-throw line, which was part of the reason why the Crimson owned a 31-26 advantage at the break. Harvard knocked down 5-of-10 beyond the arc through the first 20 minutes of action.
In the second half both programs shot below 27 percent from the floor, but the Huskies turned around and connected on 5-of-10 on the perimeter and 16-of-22 at the charity stripe in order to pull off the victory.
In a game that featured six ties and five lead changes, Harvard was outscored at the free-throw line by a 17-7 margin.

It ain't no Star Wars paraphernalia, but something tells us that most people will still be interested in this officially licensed and questionably collectible Star Trek Inflatable Captain's Chair. That's right, it inflates, so transporting it across the cosmos should be an easy job thanks to the ultra light weight build, and by that we mean plastic.
You should know, though, that it can only support up to 120lbs, so it's well suited for mini Captain T. Kirks or your baby in nerd training. The arm rests are outfitted, as in printed, with a variety of buttons, allowing you to conjure up your very own imaginary red or yellow alert.
ThinkGeek sells the Star Trek Inflatable Captain's Chair for $24.99. And no, it is real despite April Fools day transpiring yesterday.

WTH Is Up with Your Facebook Status?
Michelle Kemper Brownlow: We all waste time on Facebook. But this week, I found myself screaming "WTH?!" at my screen when I caught a glimpse of what some of my own Facebook friends were sharing with the world!
There were the people who just wanted to make others jealous:
"Back in the saddle again! Working on two final core projects for the new book."
"Breakfast in Boston, lunch in L.A., dinner in Hawaii."
The people who needed to spend less time in front of the computer/TV:
"Is it Thursday yet?"
"Pursuant to Starfleet General Order 104, section A, you are deemed unfit and I hereby relieve you from your command."
"Sooo loving this Jake and Vienna interview ... it's such a trainwreck, and I can't stop watching and laughing!!"
The people who just need someone to talk to:
"I'm wondering: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?"
"What are YOU doing right NOW?"
"Talk to me!"
The people who need daily (sometimes hourly) reassurance:
"OK, so I have no communication whatsoever w/ my son, who is on a glacier or a volcano somewhere in Iceland."
"I feel like a failure to my family."
The people who share helpful tips:
"Marriage lesson: When you're sleeping face-to-face with your wife and you sneeze on her ... even though accidental and involuntary ... it is NOT funny."
"Never fart in the spray-tanning stall ... I almost died!"
The people who give TMI:
"Now dinner, then shower/bath, then bed!"
"Today, I actually laughed until I peed!"
"NEVER eat a dozen prunes in an hour ... I can't get out of the bathroom!"
The people who, well, I just don't know...:
"Jing, joing jadda sing see!"
"He's got sherpes!"
"I am no longer to be known as Mr., Jesse or even Daddy. Henceforth, I am to be known as ... 'Chickenburp.'"
Whatever did we do before we could broadcast every second of our lives to hundreds of people simultaneously? Thanks, Facebook!
One doesn't need to actually be watching Star Trek to quote it. =-)
Did you have permission to plagiarise other people's material?
Where did you list the sources?
Can I copy and paste this on my website without saying where it came from or would I be a thief for doing so?
Wow, seriously, Anonymous?? THAT is your response to the article? She's right: People do spend too much time & share too much information on FB. The article hasn't been submitted for a Pulitzer & she didn't name names, she just quoted what various unnamed "people" wrote on their walls. Relax a little. Life is too short. Believe me, I know.
Sounds more like people just having fun. I have basically fallen under each of those categories. Facebook is just a FUN outlet for me. I have often posted "There is always the remove as friend option." as my status for the people who whine about not "getting" my humor.
If you really don't like someone's FB status because you're a snob, then 'unfriend' them - they're better off without you.
That wasn' intended to get you all fired up!
lol, too funny and SO true.

YANKTON, S.D. (AP) - What do you want to do before you die?
That's the question being asked to residents and visitors in and around Yankton.
A large blackboard was unveiled this week near the Meridian Pedestrian Bridge for people to write down their answer.
The 32-foot-long plywood wall and project were spearheaded by the Yankton Area Arts.
Amy Miner of the Yankton Area Arts said the board is a good way to open up a dialogue among people in the community who might not otherwise communicate.
The blackboard will be up for at least 30 days.

Just over a year ago, on Sept. 27, 2010, the Orioles were leading the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-0, in the ninth inning of a largely meaningless road game when second baseman Brian Roberts came to the plate.
He felt prepared for the at-bat, and believed reliever Joaquin Benoit would throw him a changeup. With the count 2-2, the right-hander did.
Roberts still swung and missed.
"Sometimes the pitcher could tell you what's coming and you still wouldn't execute your plan right," he says, clearly still miffed.
On his way to the dugout, he did something he has done countless times: in frustration, he thwacked himself on the helmet with his bat. All of Tropicana Field began to whirl. And so began a tailspin that would sideline the two-time All-Star for 145 of the next 168 games.
He had given himself a concussion — an injury that proved more severe and complex than Roberts or anyone watching the game could have understood at the time. He would return briefly in 2011 and sustain a second concussion, an extension of the first that would sever him from his team — and send him into a time of pain and uncertainty he calls the darkest months of his life.
Back in Baltimore last month for the first time since June, Roberts, who turned 34 last month, said he had just experienced his first pain-free two weeks since the concussion. Friends were telling him he looks completely different from the way he did as recently as September. He and his doctors say he'll be recovered by spring and in the Oriole lineup for 2012, all but good as new.
"We're still taking it slow and steady, but we're definitely hopeful," he said.
Asked why he'd have taken such an at-bat so seriously in the first place, Roberts answered quickly and forcefully.
"Baseball is a game of failure, where you make an out way more often than not," he said. "But people don't understand this: You still want to succeed every time. It's hard to find that balance. If you're not the kind of person who wants to be out there competing every second, you're not the kind who's going to make it to the big leagues."
Concussion test
It requires no cast, no bandage, no surgery. It's invisible to the naked eye. There's no set timetable for recovery, and even you, at times, wonder whether it's all in your head.
Experts and victims alike say it time and time again: A concussion is an injury like no other.
After the Tampa Bay incident, when Roberts returned to the dugout, he found the bench spinning. When he headed back on the field for the bottom of the ninth, it felt as though he was walking sideways. And when teammates tossed the ball around the horn, he was amazed he caught it.
"I have no idea what happened, but I am messed up," he remembers thinking.
He couldn't sleep that night for the jumpiness, dizziness and nausea, but he got up the next day, went to the ballpark and took ground balls and batting practice as always.
"I'm thinking, 'It's all right. I can get through this,' " he says.
But it wasn't. Roberts approached team trainer Richie Bancells just before game time.
"I think I have a concussion and can't play," he said.

Today on Fresh Air we discuss Post Traumatic Stress Disorder through the story of Iraq War veterans and couple, Kayla Williams and Brian McGough. In October of 2003 an IED explosion went off, sending shrapnel through Brian's head and causing permanent brain damage. The couple got closer, fell in love, and eventually married. Kayla Williams' memoir Plenty of Time When We Get Home: Love and Recovery in the Aftermath of War shares the story of the unimaginable obstacles the couple faced, including rage, depression, and paranoia.
In the interview Williams explains how symptoms of PTSD are "adaptive in a combat zone":
"A lot of what we think of as symptoms of PTSD are adaptive in a combat zone. So being hyper-vigilant, extremely alert to your surroundings, always monitoring your environment for potential threats and being prepared to respond with immediate violence if necessary if you perceive a threat — those are adaptive ways to be in a combat zone. Those traits keep you alive in a combat zone and it's normal for anyone coming home to take a while to wind that down.
… I still feel my heart rate increase if I see trash on the side of the road because there's a little piece of my brain that thinks it could be an IED. But for the vast majority of people those fairly normal symptoms fade within three to six months after coming home. But for people like Brian with pretty severe PTSD, that fading of those symptoms doesn't happen and those normal ways to behave or think or be in a combat zone carry over into civilian settings where they're actively counterproductive."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
NighttimeApparition said...
I haven't read any of the Warcraft novels. (Though, I intend to.) A lot of what has been said is a dislike about one writing style over another, that's to be expected. I'll make a comparison: Some people like Terry Brooks (Sword of Shannara) and revere his Shannara series, while I find them terribly badly written. That's not to say his books are all horrible, or that people are 'wrong' for liking them. It means, it's not my thing, and I can't make myself like them just because other people do.
People will tell you that 'Lord of the Rings' is very dry, and I'd agree that it can be long winded. But, I think that it was a. well written, b. an excellently portrayed story, c. probably better than anything I'll ever write. Again these are my opinions. Much like the fact that I'll never finish the 'Wheel of Time' series because I couldn't get past the 7th or 8th book because I was tired of Mat Cauthon wandering around with a traveling show doing practically NOTHINGfor like 70+ percent of one of the books. Again this is just my opinion. (Talk about long winded, how many times do we NEED to hear the description of Whitebridge or some not-so-subtle reference to Arthurian legend?)
You are all entitled to your opinion, whether it's love Golden/hate Knaak or vice versa. What that doesn't make you is RIGHT about anything other than your own opinion. Blizzard gets to decide canon, tell it's writers how much play they have with that canon, and they can change it at anytime. (Eredar, anyone?)
As a fan, sometimes you will /facepalm at some of the decisions writers make. At one time, Wolverine didn't have claws before the adamantium was put into his body (I'm thinking of something he said when fighting 'Sabertooth' in the Wolverine comics, oh so long ago), then Magneto removed it and he still had claws.
From the way people talk, Knaak seems to be a 'epic story' kind of writer- he creates his characters to help the story he knows is going to happen, because he's got the outline. Those characters HAVE to be as uber as the established lore characters to be able to stand with them and be important.
Christie Golden appears to be a 'the characters write themselves' sort of writer from the comments I hear. She also has to fit them into the story they outlined for her.
Other than technical flaws in either books, it seems to come down to which writing style you like more. Either way, they sound far better than the crappy Robotech novellas I read as a kid. (Until I 'discovered' Heinlein I thought they were good.) Which means kids today are getting better stuff to read. (Eragon not withstanding. Ugh.)
My point? Get better at making a reasoned argument if you want people to listen to what you have to say. For the record, I did see a lot more reasonable arguments both for and against Knaak and Golden here than I expected. But impassioned screaming with no real point or thought seems to be a problem with society at large, let alone we the geeks and nerds of Fantasy, Sci-fi, and video game land.
Take the time to learn what a good argument is, then make one. It's selfish of me, but I want to see better debate, not impassioned hate.
If you got this far, thanks for reading.

The Devil Wears Torontostreetfashion.com Fashion Assistant Challenge
Torontostreetfashion.com put out the call and students
from Toronto's fashion colleges applied to be Ms. Sonja Andic's fashion
assistant during fashion week. Entrants didn't know exactly what the
position entailed, but were willing to carry bags, take notes and run
errands for the chance to insider schmooze and experience fashion week...
DAY 2: Courage and Jeanne!
March 15, 2007
To congratulate myself on getting through one day relatively unscathed, I have decided to buy myself a new shirt from H&M. It's brown, gold, sheer and sparkly - so much fun! I trust that H&M wouldn't sell me something that wasn't trendy enough for Fashion Week. I think I'll avoid any crunchy hair disasters today by keeping it simple and straight. Is it just me or is the second day outfit planning way easier than the first? Oh Crap, I'm running late.
Je suis arrive (something about this week makes me want to speak bad french). I'm feeling good. I just got the call from Sonja that she is running a little bit behind so I'll just pop to the bar for a quick beverage. Hmmm 5 o'clock...probably too early for that wine I've been eyeing up. "What can I get for you?" don't say wine...don't say wine... "I'll just have a diet coke." So proud of myself. I grab a seat on the side to engage in my favorite trend of people watching. I am always amazed at some people's ability to look effortlessly fashionable. Oh speaking of which, Sonja just walked in. Game face on!
I've just walked in to my first fashion show ever for Fashion Psychology. We sit down in the Elle Germany seats and I've never felt more dangerous or fabulous. They don't show up so I use my great vantage point to scan the rows for Jeanne Beker! Oh Jeanne where art thou? I've loved her (platonically) since I was like 10! No Jeanne, but the show is amazing. And by amazing I mean a giddy blur. I take the gift bag that was so nicely placed on the seat for those German folks (thanks guys!). This free stuff is easily my favorite part of fashion week.
So the place to be after the shows is the media room. Yesterday the guard guy just let me waltz in (with some schmoozing from Sonja) but today, apparently, he's not having it. Sonja turns around and tells me to go to the front desk and get myself a media pass. This is it. This is my big test. I have to do this. On the whole walk over I'm thinking of exactly what to say to convince them, all the while trying to remember to look confident. I get there and words just start coming out of my mouth. "Assistant to Sonja Andic...needs my help in the media room...imperative that I am able to get there to do my job..." "Okay" she says. One point Melissa, mean guard, NOTHING! I feel so empowered. Maybe I'm finally getting rid of the awkward girl inside of me. Maybe this is the beginning of a whole new confident Melissa? Nice.
My second fashion show is for Pat McDonagh. Ya ya sure...clothes...has no one else noticed that Jeanne Beker is sitting across from the catwalk from me?? No one? Like for real. She is just as I imagined her to be. She's dressed in black from head to toe with a fur collared jacket and I realize that now I can die happy.
So I've just got home from a great day at fashion week and I start to undress. As I pull my sheer blouse over my head I see a flash of white just below the collar...can you even guess what it is? Yep, it's the tag. In my rush to leave I obviously forgot to cut it off. Thank you God for making sure that the shirt was sheer so that even though the tag was tucked into the back of it, everyone could still see it. Thanks a bunch. Welcome back awkward girl...

Adjectives can be postmodified by a prepositional phrase, a finite clause, or an infinitive clause. Happy, for example, is an adjective which accepts all three types of postmodifier:
EX: John is happy about the job. (preposition)
EX: John is happy that he got the job. (finite clause)
EX: John is happy to have the job. (infinitive clause)
Looking now at 1) and 2) below, let's try a process of elimination. Since 'working' and 'teaching' are not (a) finite clauses (i.e., they lack tense) or (b) infinitives clause (i.e., '-ing' is not a base form), they must be part of a prepositional phrase, the head of which has been omitted:
1) She is busy (with) working.
2) She is happy (with) teaching.
'with working' and 'with teaching' are prepositional phrases in form. They are made up of the preposition 'with' and its object, the gerunds 'working' and 'teaching'. The entire prepositional phrase postmodifies 'busy' and 'happy', respectively, and it functions as a subject complement, notably a predicate adjective.
Predicate adjective: adjective+prepositional phrase
1) She is busy with working.
2) She is happy with teaching.
Gerunds 'working' and 'teaching' do not directly modify the adjectives 'busy' and 'happy'. They are the objects of the preposition, (with), be it present or not.
1) She is busy working. => Object of omitted (with)
2) She is happy teaching. => Object of omitted (with)
With regards to adverbs, 'enough' is an example of an adverbial postmodifier:
She is happy enough. (Adverb, post modifies 'happy')
She is busy enough. (Adverb, post modifies 'busy')
The same holds true (i.e., omission) for like structures (i.e., adjective + what appears to be a nominal):
I am aware (of the fact) that you have been promoted.
I am pleased (to hear) that you have been promoted.
The underlined portions function as the object of omitted (to hear) and (the fact), respectively.

Nirvana Revealed: Backstage diaries tell of Kurt Cobain's passion for Scotland.
The first thing you notice about Kurt is his piercing blue eyes. He has peroxide hair in between two styles and two colours, blond with darker roots. It looks like he's growing it in with signs of a shorter, more sensible crop from about six months before.
He looks undernourished, slightly sick, as if needing or just recovering from surgery. At the time, I didn't know about his prescribed medication.
As a supposedly hyperactive four-year-old, he was prescribed Ritalin for a period of three months and later in life, unrelated painful stomach problems would require ongoing medical monitoring.
He wore gloves with the ends cut off, an Oxfam raincoat and a cardigan with holes in it.
He preferred roll-ups rather than filtered cigarettes. I watched as he expertly created a perfectly formed homemade cigarette.

It could be a water moccasin… or maybe they're thinking of a hagfish..?
Actually the hagfish sounds very plausible with the wrinkly/baggy thing they mentioned, cause I can't think of any snakes that'd look like that. You know how hard it'd be to slither with flaps of skin dragging all over the ground?
Either way, here's what a hagfish looks like
If that's your culprit, Anon, then that's no snake! Sorry to disappoint D:

Vt. US Rep. proposes to reform ethanol lawMay 11,2013COLCHESTER Vermonts lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives is going to be working with a bipartisan group of his colleagues to reform a federal law that requires corn-based ethanol in motor vehicle fuels.
U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, a Democrat, argues the requirement that ethanol, which is made from corn, drove up the price of corn and increased the costs for Vermont dairy farmers.
And he argues ethanol can harm some small engines.
He said the mandate was well intentioned, but it had unintended consequences that hurts dairy farmers and the motors used on boats, chain saws and snowmobiles across Vermont.
Welchs proposal would repeal the mandate on corn ethanol production. It would also prevent the federal government from increasing the requirement on the amount of ethanol blended into gasoline.MORE IN This Just InAn alleged fight outside a bar between Red Sox and Yankees fans has led to the suspension of two...

The Trials And Tribulations Of A Global Startup
The Internet makes it easy to collaborate across borders. But despite the rise of remote work and virtual teams, founders still need to travel for business sometimes. For some, travel practically becomes the job. And while data and capital now flow virtually unrestricted across borders, physical border crossing have gotten no easier. That's causing headaches for global startups.
Take Babelverse co-founder Mayel de Borniol. He calls himself a "glomad," which means a world traveler with no fixed address. Officially he's a French citizen, but he prefers not to even think of himself as a citizen of anywhere — not even a "citizen of the world."
That goes a long way to explaining the origins of Babelverse, which aims to be the universal translator of sci-fi lore. But instead of relying on machine translation, it relies on a network of human translators around the world. de Borniol and co-founder Josef Dunne, who is originally from the United Kingdom, came up with the idea while they were both living and working in Greece. Because they faced language barriers while living and traveling abroad, they found themselves calling friends on the phone to translate. That made them realize that they could build a translation app based on people instead of algorithms.
Two founders from different countries who speak different languages is exactly the sort of post-geographic collaboration that we'd hope to see happen thanks to the web. But the company's post-geographic tendencies have caused them some trouble.
The two soon found themselves living in Santiago as part of the Startup Chile program. It was a great place to be, Dunne says, because there were so many other entrepreneurs from all over the world for the program. Babelverse, then, had a great focus group for testing the application, but it didn't eliminate their need to travel. They traveled extensively in Latin American and to the U.S. to work on raising capital.
That led to some interesting experiences. Dunne says he was once pulled out of a security line in Canada, where a customs agent lectured him on the importance of smiling. He was also delayed for questioning on a return trip to the U.K. once by officials who didn't quite understand what the Chilean government was paying him for. But the biggest issue the co-founders faced came after they returned to Europe after the Startup Chile money ran out.
They first went to Greece, where they met Zachary Zorbas, a U.S. citizen, graphic designer and fellow glomad. He was traveling in Europe and doing the occasional pro-gratis design gig for startups to keep his portfolio current. He started working on Babelverse and soon became crucial to the team. He ended up following the duo to London, where they stayed at Dunne's parents' garage and kept working on the service.
Broke but determined to take the company to the next level, the crew signed up for The Next Web conference in Amsterdam. But they didn't have enough money to fly there, so they ended up renting a car instead. The conference was a breakout event for them — they won the people's choice award and the best business-to-business award at the event. de Borniol stayed in Amsterdam while Dunne and Zorbas headed back to London.
And then things got weird.
Dunne says the border officials were immediately suspicious of the two young men driving a fancy car and returning from Amsterdam, which is better known to border officials for its cannabis cafes than its startup conferences. They were pulled out of line and separated for further questioning. Dunne was asked a few questions and released, but Zorbas was denied entry.
"They didn't think I was ever going to leave," he says.
Zorbas wasn't entirely blameless, at least from a legal point of view. He was working for a European company without a work permit — even though he wasn't getting paid it was still illegal. He was allowed to go back to his car to get his stuff. Dunne gave him the last of his cash and a credit card with about $100 on it before Zorbas was sent to the police station in France.
Fortunately for Zorbas, the French police had no interest in detaining him further. "They didn't really know what to do with me," he says. He was just released onto the streets with nowhere to go. Zorbas found his way to Paris and ended up sleeping in the airport for three days and wait for another startup he'd helped to pay for a ticket to get him back to the U.S.
Having their designer effectively deported was a setback for Babelverse, but it was one they overcame. Again, the Internet is handy for collaborating across borders. The team landed on its feet, winning the "Audience Choice" title at TechCrunch Disrupt New York and later landing a round of funding from 500 Startups. The company is now registered as a U.S. company and Zorbas works out of their San Francisco office.
But this is an example of what global startups have to face. The paperwork can be grueling — especially if you have a passport from the wrong country, as does Kunal Kalro, founder of the travel startup Outtrippin'. Although Kalro moved to the U.S. when he was 17 and lived here for several years, his student visa makes it "virtually impossible" for him to work here. So he's in Santiago as part of Startup Chile.
Kalro was born in Dubai, but his parents are from India and he has an Indian passport — even though he's never lived in India. He says he faces constant hassles when traveling. Border crossing are relatively easy for him, he says, because he has to plan so far ahead to get a visa. But it's the visa situation that kills him. He says it takes about three weeks to get approval to travel to the U.K. from Chile. When he applied for a visa to travel to Brazil, he had to get a letter from his parents. He's 25 years old.
"Entrepreneurs don't necessarily have the ability to make plans that far in advance," he says. "If an investor wants you to come visit, what are you supposed to do?"
Kalro suggests the creation of a "universal visa" — one application, one visa that's good wherever you go. "I have a folder on my computer with like 50 visa applications," he says. "And everyone is almost exactly the same."
It's not hard to imagine that most countries will still want to manage their own visa rules, but it makes sense to try to consolidate as much of the effort as possible. "It's added regulation, but I will pay. I know lots of people that will pay," he says.
de Borniol suggests that with so many countries trying to attract startups, perhaps one country could start offering citizenship to glomads. Such a nation would accept that these citizens would spend much of their time abroad, but would provide its citizens with valid passports and a place to register businesses. The idea reminds me of Adam Greenfield's post-geographic nation-state.
Kalro also suggests "free travel zones" along the same lines as "free trade zones." But it's a tall order in a world still worried about terrorism, illegal immigration and national identity. The U.S. may have a free-trade agreement with Mexico, but it's hard to imagine free travel between the border. It wasn't long ago that we were literally building a fence (well, series of fences) across the border. Sentiment in countries like Greece is no better.
Still, as more companies are founded by people living in different countries, and investment capital continues to travel across borders, something is going to have to give.

Video: Marshall Henderson's Block On Trivante Bloodman Today Was Just Vicious
Ole Miss superstar Marshall Henderson was nice enough to invite the Mississippi State Bulldogs to come play basketball in his team's building this afternoon. Unfortunately, he wasn't very nice to them once the game started — he pretty much dominated them throughout a 19-point victory, both offensively and defensively. Perhaps his best highlight came midway through the second...

Bulldogs Back Home Hosting Alcorn State
They're already taking early-schedule lumps. At the same time the Bulldogs are also showing early-season emotional grit that should serve them well. "Sometimes you have to fall down to get back up," guard Trivante Bloodman said. "I feel that might help us later in the season."
