I'm a bit tired of games showing off there classes and going "Fighter!, Mage!, Cleric!, Thief!"
Why don't some game designers get a bit more original and start coming up with there own classes? There's many different types of weapons that aren't even touched in MMO's (including the names of classes) yet every game that has came out in the past 10 years usually boasts original gameplay and "Next-Gen".
Do you guys think that these unoriginal classes are the reason we are being burned out on our MMO's? I think if a developer could come out with some decent gameplay/storyline and actually create some diverse classes then I would be more looking forward to trying it out. I'm not saying that this would make a good game but I would at least give them brownie points for trying.
In every game we see the same weapon types and class names. It's about time for a change, eh? What kind of weapons and class changes would you guys like to see in the upcoming MMO's?

Michael Ellsberg.....you know....the author that interviewed over one hundred millionaires AND BILLIONAIRES to put out the book "The Education of Millionaires."
Well besides his book becoming a best-seller, it also arose some questions like:
"Michael, HOW THE FU-HECK DID YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH ALL THOSE MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES SO FAST?!?!"
To everyone's surprise, people realized Michael was EXCEPTIONAL at networking.
But he wasn't BORN a great networker.....he learned.
Just like you can.
He got mentors, friends and acquaintances to train him how to network with people in much higher positions than himself.
It's a system he uses.
This is a system you can use too.
It can be TAUGHT.
Michael spent years of time learning how to network the right way, but us Sumos are WAY too impatient (and hungry) to sit around learning the hard way.
So this Sumo decided to kidnap Michael and get him to spill all his secret sauce.
We pretended to "hire" him for a speech (which he gets paid thouuusands of dollars for), then KIDNAPPED HIM IN THE APPSUMO SECRET-LAIR.
We sat his ass down in front of a camera and demanded he spill all his secrets.
We got Michael to do a quick 4-part course that can sharpen your networking skills (including tactics on how to find mentors).
Within hours you'll see how to get people in MUCH HIGHER positions than you to take interest in you.
In Part 1 of the course Michael explains some basic concepts about how to THINK about networking in general.
Part 2 of the course is where the real meat is. You're gonna learn about:
● The Home Court Advantage: This is how someone in a lower position can look like the expert, even to a person much wealthier or powerful than themselves.
● How to ask questions: Michael demonstrates live how to ask questions in a way where people take interest in YOU.....and want to keep talking to you.
● Do some REAL LIFE networking: We bring in some outsiders who've never met Michael, and he live-on-the-spot gets them interested in him. It's actually really cool how he does this (this fat-ass Sumo sure learned some tricks).
● How to find a mentor, even if you have "nothing of value" to add. People ask Michael all the time how to find a mentor....he delivers the tricks, and shows you WHO to target (it's usually not who you think it is).
● Secrets to Effective Networking Conversations: Have you ever gone to a networking party and just sat there like a shy-Sumo? Michael shows some really easy-yet-INCREDIBLY-effective techniques to break into conversations without people hating you. He also demonstrates the wrong way to do it.
● Secret Psychology of Networking: There's a certain psychology Michael uses to get people interested in talking to him, and he teaches that here.
Part 3 of the course is actually a bonus with Chief Sumo himself, Noah Kagan.....
Michael and Noah go through their stories about how they became so well-networked. Their stories are actually really interesting, and show you that well-networked people become that way from tiny-little-baby-steps. NOT from just throwing huge parties.
In Part 4 Michael does a special Q&A with questions taken directly from his fans and Young Sumo-lings around the world. He goes more in depth on:
● How do you network with people who aren't in your field?
● How do you network if you're an introvert?
● What would you do if you had to start from scratch?
● How to ask "Can u mentor me?"
● How do you get in touch with high-profile prospects?
● Much more I'm not listing here.....
As you can see my Young Sumo-ling, Michael can teach you A LOT about networking, even if you're an introvert (believe it or not, HE IS ONE TOO)! And from my own life, I can greatly attest to the fact that knowing more powerful people can make YOU more powerful and successful (just BEING around them helps)!
Do yourself a favor and grab this course about networking from one of the greatest networkers around.
Michael will take you by the hand and show you all his tactics.
Grab this course now, grab a drink, and TAKE NOTES.....then start networking your ass off!
The Chief Networking Sumo
OK, the amount of "new" or "applicable" information in these videos of course depends a lot on the level of proficiency in networking individual viewers already have got. Having been to quite a few networking events with varying results, I still found a few nuggets of advice that all in all yielded a good amount of value considering the price of this course - for me, that is.
11 of 11 people found this helpful. Did you? July 17, 2012
Can I get a refund? This is bad networking advice delivered in a difficult to watch video. The presenter is constantly looking off camera for his next line. He actually suggests that sex is a good professional networking topic. The staged networking demonstrations are pretty awful and lack anything in the way of valuable teaching moments. Ugh.

Where do I begin?
I have been at networking events for a number of Chamber of Commerce and Marketing events, and I was really hoping this would be more than "smile, think positive, consultative sales". It was barely that.
Very disappointed with this course. If you are anything other than a complete novice at networking or even socializing, you might get a little value out of it. Other than that, there really isn't anything profound or insightful that could actually work in the real world.
I honestly doubt if this guy has ever been to a "real" network event with important business leaders. Taking a look at his strategy I doubt it would even get face time let alone close business deals with anyone.

This is one of the best products I've bought from AppSumo. The production quality is superb, the content is easy to consume, and the examples were fun and interesting (and quite accurate as well - I've gotten a lot of the same annoying questions that Michael demonstrated with Neville).
I saw some comments about this course applying only to beginners, but that wasn't my experience. I'm a student of Keith Ferrazzi and I've networked for years, and yet I still learned a lot from watching this course. Plus it was entertaining enough that I consumed the whole thing in one sitting.
In order for a course to help a lot of people it needs to be geared toward those just getting started (which is the majority of almost any niche market), and yet still have enough deep knowledge to satisfy experienced students. If this program had ONLY jedi level techniques for master networkers, it would alienate 90% of the people watching it. Michael does a good job bringing you up to speed quickly and then sharing insights that will shave years off your learning curve.
Great job Noah, Neville, and Michael. You guys banged out an excellent course that delivered a lot of value for a good price.

I am unable to decide if this is an unbelievably obvious series of ideas in a slick package or a subtle yet significant improvement on networking standards.
First, if you're networking consists of giving people your business card and waiting to talk about yourself then this video cannot but help. Yet, if you're dealing with sophisticated people, I struggle to see how applying this to situations I have networked in will yield significant improvements. I just find most conversations don't work this way unless you have a very specific skill such a copywriting or web design. And in many cases the response is - we've already got a guy. Most successful people don't need help at the business level. And while I absolutely agree with Mr. Ellsberg that being open and personal is both a pleasant change and personally healthy (see: Seneca) it's frequently difficult or impossible to get there. It often involves more time than is available unless you already have a relationship with someone.
If further experience clarifies things one way or the other I will certainly update this review.

All components are durable, including the baked-on frame finish with Total Lock casters. The 3-octave vibraphone features wide graduated aluminum bars finished in either gold or silver. The perfect instrument for the gigging vibist.

Brand History
Clair Omar Musser was a gifted marimba performer, conductor, composer, and marimba designer. He was even trained as an aircraft engineer. In 1930, he became the chief engineer and designer for the JC Deagan Mallet Instrument Company and in 1948, left to start the Musser Mallet Company in the Chicago area.
Musser created the modern Vibraphone design and expanded the line into marimbas, xylophones, chimes, and orchestra bells. It would grow to become the most dominant mallet instrument company in the world.
In 1956, Musser sold his business to Lyons Band in Chicago. A few years later it was sold to Dick Richardson who grew the company further by creating a partnership with the Ludwig Drum Company to distribute products through the same sales team. During this era, jazz vibe legend Lionel Hampton became a major influence for the Musser Company.
In 1965, Ludwig acquired Musser creating a "Total Percussion" company with mallet instruments and drums. Artists like Gary Burton arrived on scene and elevated the Musser brand to new heights.
With a potential shortage of rosewood used to make bars for xylophones and marimbas in the 70's, Musser would be the first to develop a synthetic bar material made from Kelon ®, a special blend of fiberglass strands. This innovation allowed instruments to be used in outside weather elements in drum corps and marching bands.
In 1981, Ludwig Musser was sold to the Selmer Company. Production of Musser mallet instruments continued to be made in LaGrange, Illinois outside of Chicago until 2013 when production was moved to Elkhart, Indiana. Musser today is known as the choice for "sound" by professionals.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
A $500,000 grant was awarded to Multnomah Biblical Seminary
by the Kern Family Foundation for the development of three programs at the
Seminary, including a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min) degree.
In addition to the D.Min, the Master of Arts in Pastoral
Studies (MAPS) and the Master of
Divinity (M.Div) will be restructured to be offered also as distributed
learning programs. Such programs are geared to prospective seminarians who are
involved in ministry but find it difficult to uproot and move to the Portland campus. A
combination of online, on-site, and on-campus course offerings would make a
degree from Multnomah Biblical Seminary a reality for long-distance learners.
The Proposal
The $500,000 grant proposal was submitted to the Kern
Family Foundation on December 1, 2008. It outlined details of converting two
degrees into distributed learning programs and of developing and launching a
D.Min program, all in a time span of four years.
In the afternoon of January 8, 2009, Fred Oaks, director of the foundation,
called Dr. Daniel R. Lockwood, president of Multnomah University,
to inform him that the Seminary was one of five recipients of the full grant.
The Next Step
Dr. Robert Redman, the new dean of the Seminary, and key
faculty members will soon begin work developing the new programs. He and Dr.
Lockwood will meet with the Kern Foundation and the other four seminary
recipients on February 23-25, 2009, to hone the project and to share ideas
about using this project to effect substantive and innovative change at the
"It was exhilarating to receive this wonderful news," Dr.
Lockwood remarked, "because this grant exactly fits both the mission of
Multnomah Biblical Seminary and our long-range strategic plan."
"In the past, we have started new programs without a margin
of resources to develop, launch, and promote them the way we would like," he
added. "This providential grant provides
an extraordinary cushion to move forward innovatively without undercutting
already existing programs."
"Most importantly, we will touch students that could never
have come to the Portland
campus with practical ministry training."

We may not know what Jesus looked like, but artists in every region and generation have tried to capture how he seemed to them.
In 19th-century Europe, painters depicted the Christian savior as a heroic figure, divine yet human. Their style was realistic, but their goal was emotive to make viewers feel the man's presence.
Now, Brigham Young University has brought together in a single exhibit two dozen religious works of three artistic giants from the late 1800s Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann and Frans Schwartz.
For BYU, Bloch's paintings are a second coming of sorts. The LDS Church-owned school displayed his work in 2010 through 2011, attracting one of the largest audiences in the museum's history.
The Danish artist's Jesus is familiar to Utahns, having appeared often in Mormon meetinghouses, manuals and magazines.
But in his time, Bloch was even more famous in Denmark, where his works graced Lutheran churches in what were known as "altar pieces."
For this exhibit, "Sacred Gifts," which opens Nov. 15, the Provo school secured eight Carl Bloch paintings on loan from the Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark (part of the famous "Life of Christ" series in the King's Oratory).
These paintings have never before been out of the oratory, says Dawn Pheysey, the show's curator, "and leadership at Frederiksborg Castle say they will not be loaned ever again."
Two Hofmann paintings of Jesus in the temple will be on loan from the Gemäldegalerie Neue Meister in Dresden and the Riverside Church in New York. Neither has been displayed for more than a quarter-century.
Part of the reason for such exclusive rights to these prized works is that BYU agreed to restore the pieces, Pheysey says. "They look dramatically different since they've been cleaned."
Hofmann and Schwartz, who was half a generation younger, were influenced by Bloch.
"We wanted to bring these three religious painters together, because they are so well-known in Utah," Pheysey says. "And because they are examples of academic realism."
All three studied at an art academy Bloch and Hofmann in Denmark, Schwartz in Germany.
At the time they were working, European Christians were building or renovating many churches and there was a call for religious art.
"These men were at the top of the field," she says. "Plus, they were all religious men."
Hofmann's painting of Christ has been hanging in LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson's office since he was a young bishop, Pheysey says, challenging him to live his faith.
Of the three, Schwartz may be the least familiar to locals.
He was, the curator says, a "rather eccentric loner" who never married. He had inherited wealth, so he did not rely on the sale of his paintings for his livelihood and often gave works to churches for a nominal fee. When he died, Schwartz bequeathed his art to Copenhagen to decorate buildings.
But he was always engaged in religious questions.
"He would discuss with the bishop of a church the scriptural subject he was being asked to paint," Pheysey says. "He would delve into it more deeply than a cursory reading of the story. He wanted to represent the doctrine correctly."
These artists were not even trying to be historically accurate, says Utah artist Brian Kershisnik. There was no talk of what a first-century Jew in Palestine might look like or have worn.
Christians believe Jesus "was one of us, related to us," Kershisnik says. "Gods had never been related to us in the history of the world. So my Jesus would look like me."
Thus we see Christ giving the Sermon on the Mount wearing a Roman toga, surrounded by Danish-looking followers. But there's a boy touching a butterfly in the crowd.
Those small details "make you feel he's there, and you're with him," says Kershisnik, who served a Mormon mission in Denmark. "Bloch captured something that feels accurate to the experience of Jesus."
Hofmann, too, created a "complicated savior," he says, "who could be loving and approachable but who might also be angry with you, who might reprove the disciples."
It's an image that large groups of people could see and say, "Yes, that's my Jesus."
Exhibit opens next month
"Sacred Gifts: The Religious Art of Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann and Frans Schwartz" runs from Nov. 15 through May 10 at Brigham Young University's Museum of Art in Provo. Patrons are urged to reserve their free tickets as early as possible. Most paintings in the exhibition will be on view throughout the show, according to the museum's website, but the eight Bloch paintings on loan from the Frederiksborg Castle will be shown four at a time. For more information, go to http://sacredgifts.byu.edu/exhibition.
From the Bible
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

Born: January 18, 1993
Position: Midfielder
Attacking midfielder Thomas joined Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund on a long-term contract in January 2012.
The 19-year-old showed significant promise at youth level with the Bundesliga club, catching the eye of the Arsenal scouting network with six goals and six assists in his 12 appearances for the Under-19s.
Eisfeld, who was part of Dortmund's 'BVB Academy' for seven years and can play in a variety of positions, has featured at youth level for the German national team, captaining the Under-15s side.
Arsène Wenger said of the signing: "Thomas is a player we have liked for some time. We've watched him closely this season, where he has excelled for Dortmund's youth team.
"He is young but has proven to us that he can play, that he has the attitude and technical ability to be a valuable addition to our squad. We're very pleased to welcome him to the Club and look forward to his contribution in the coming seasons."
He made three appearances for the reserves last season, scoring once, and netted twice more on the 2012 tour of Asia.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

To maintain or build muscle, first you must build muscle (protein synthesis). Then you must prevent muscle breakdown (catabolism). This dual approach enables the building of lean, firm muscle very efficiently.*
Whey – Supports Lean Muscle*
To help stimulate protein synthesis, we include fast-digesting whey protein concentrate and isolate. Whey is one of the major proteins found in milk and provides valuable branched-chain amino acids. It's specially filtered to retain the protein fractions that help support the immune system.*
Milk – Prevents Breakdown*
To prevent muscle protein breakdown, we include slow-digesting milk protein isolate (whey and casein together). Muscle-sparing casein protein is known for its ability to help reduce the body's natural process of breaking down muscle when you haven't eaten in several hours. Casein also helps satisfy hunger cravings to prevent overeating.*
Egg White -- The Gold Standard
Egg white protein is regarded as the "Gold Standard" of high-quality proteins. It's naturally high in certain amino acids such as arginine. It's fat free, cholesterol free, sugar free and lactose free. It helps bridge the gap between the other proteins to keep you satisifed for hours.
|Sustained release effect keeps your muscles fed for many
hours to help prevent you from losing muscle
No Artificial Sweeteners
Only stevia is used for a low-medium sweetness level that's about half the sweetness level of other brands.

TSA Travel Tips - Credit Card Knives

Why can I take 2 4" knives, if they are hinged together, but not one of these smaller knives?

I continue to wait for some justification for active duty military being included in pre-check, but not retired military or holders of current DoD or LE background investigations. military retirees have at least 20 years documents service to this Nation, pretty much proving their lack of risk. both DoD and LE background investigations should reveal any risk factors. active duty military do not, necessarily, have a background check or any significant length of service. neither citizenship nor a background investigation is required to enlist in the military, in fact there are likely illegal immigrants serving. if it is really about safety, then why are potentially unscreened non-citizens allowed through? sounds like it is just pandering to an admirable group to get PR, not adjusting the rules to ease screening on those who present a lower likelihood of threat.
Let me be clear: pre-911 screening should be the norm. it is all that is required, now that cockpit doors have been reinforced and locked, and flight crews and passengers know that the rules have changed and passivity=death. however, if we are going to continue this massive waste of tax dollars on security theatre, at least have _some_ of the rules make sense.

I thought the TSA made a good decision when they were going to allow small knives on planes. No one is going to take over a plane these days with a knife. It was disappointing to see the TSA back down on a smart change in policy.

"However, if it is determined that a traveler was intentionally trying to conceal a weapon, he or she could receive a civil penalty, or even be arrested for having a concealed knife in their possession."
Exactly who and by what means does TSA determine if a person is intentionally trying to conceal a weapon?
What TSA employee has the required skills to undertake such an investigation?

This decision was made due to a combined uproar on the part of Congress, stakeholders and some groups in the aviation industry. I too am disappointed that this change did not go through.

Agreed, West, but if Administrator Pistole stood up to Congress, stakeholders, and the terrified aviation groups like he did to the flying public when instituting the "naked pic scanner or patdown assault" procedures, the blotter team could stop blottering about how many little knives they catch and how that justfies your dept's $8 billion budget.
And flyers could keep their harmless private property.

How large a threat does a credit card knife pose to the overall safety of a flight if one was taken aboard?
Aren't the cockpits still secure? Hasn't it been shown be more recent events that passengers would take action against a person with any kind of weapon?
TSA is wasting resources when screening for these types of things and doing so has resulted in the over staffing of TSA checkpoints. That's why we see so many TSA clerks standing around doing nothing useful.
TSA needs to better define what it should be doing. Confiscating common LGA's, harassing the public, and other such activities just isn't part of the TSA job.

Pre-9/11 screening for ALL! Not for special groups selected based on what is essentially guesswork!
PreCheck is guesswork, not something based on any sort of study that has been independently reviewed.

"If detected, travelers will be given the option to voluntarily abandon the property, take it out of the checkpoint and mail it, check it, hand it off to a friend, or dispose of it in some other manner."
So that means I can keep probing security with no worries right? No penalty for getting caught? Cool.
Same as liquids. Keep probing until I get what I want through.
Good thing no terrorist has thought of this....

If your going to cast stones, one must be sure to be accurate themselves.
To start a question "can't" is improper. Can't is a contraction of "can not" and you would not form a question with "can not."

Tsa's role is not to capture terrorists. Their function is to insure safe travel to the American public. To insure safe travel, TSA is threr to prevent and deture potential threats from being placed on board an aircraft. Think about the past, had the 9/11 highjackers been encountered by TSA, what would have happened? Would the news headlines reported " largest terrorist plot stopped at airport?" No, of course not. TSA would have taken the threat items away and allowed the "terrorists" to board their flights as scheduled. That is exactly what happens now on a daily basis. It would have been a foiled terrorist plot and nobody would have known about it. So to even incinuate that because nobody has been brought before a judge on terrorist charges,thus TSA is not doing their job is rediculous. In short, to ask how many terrorists have been caught, there is just no answer to that. If you ask how many terrorist plots have been foiled, I would say all of them. Not one terrorist plot has been completed on an American based flight since the inception of TSA.

" Think about the past, had the 9/11 highjackers been encountered by TSA, what would have happened?"
What would have happened is exactly what DID happen. The failure on 9/11 was that the cockpit doors were not hardened, and everyone was taught to comply with hijackers. Now, no one is going to get into a cockpit with a box cutter, and trying to use one to take over a plane is not going to get very far.
Also, TSA has about a 70% failure rate, so, had knives been banned on 9/11 and TSA had been in place, but with unhardened cockpit doors and everyone still thinking compliance was the best policy, then, unfortunately, the end results would have very likely had been the same.

To start a question "can't" is improper. Can't is a contraction of "can not" and you would not form a question with "can not."
"If your going......." should be "if you're going" - a contraction of you and are.
It's perfectly acceptable to begin a question and a sentence with the word "can't."

"...one must be sure to be accurate themselves."
'One' is a singular pronoun and 'themselves' is a plural pronoun. You used the words together incorrectly.

Following on what 'Wintermute' said.
Pre-9/11, I used to carry a Spiderco Pocket knife with a 3" blade on the plane in my coat pocket all the time (back then, it was legal for anything under a 3.5" blade). The boxcutters the 9/11 terrorists used only had a 1" blade. The fact is, a knife of any size wouldn't do a terrorist any good these days. The significant change after 9/11 wasn't the TSA confiscating knives, it was a fundamental change in attitude from one where passengers were encouraged to comply with high-jackers, to the realization that their best chance of survival is to overpower the highjackers. It is a fair bet that nobody could ever highjack a plane again with a knife of any kind. The passengers would overwhelm them and likely beat them within an inch of their lives.
I can promise you that a person could pose more of a threat whipping you with their belt buckle than trying to slash you with something like my little Swiss-Tech Utili-Key 6-in-1 Tool. Yet, because of the failed attempt to remove the restriction on these items, they still get confiscated. Talk about out of sight, out of mind.

I have held a top-secret clearance, I have been vetted through background checks by Aerospace corporations and have worked in the nuclear power field for a total of 44 years. During a significant amount of this time and currently; the FBI has performed background checks every 3 or 5 years, fingerprinted at the same time,and under a 'continuous behavior observation program' as all nuclear workers have to do. This a significant undertaking to get initially and maintain. Further, I am a concealed handgun license holder which in itself, requires state/federal driven fingerprinting and background checks. WHY does not the TSA recognize other federal regulatory agency background information - (easy to validate) or state regulated background information. It would be great if these types of current background data vetted and allow these people to be part of the TSA pre-check program. Neil Harris, CPNPP Security Manager

I recently forgot to take one of these credit card knives out of my wallet and went through security. I showed my security agent where it was, offered to surrender the knife and continuously apologized. I actually helped the female agent take photographs of the knife itself. To my surprise 60 seconds later I was arrested for a concealed weapon booked into jail. I was then berated by the lieutenant for more than 10 minutes about how I was an idiot and there is no excuse for having this on you at anytime. I honestly used the knife as a utility knife to open boxes at work and help open control panels if needed. Everything I have read online from people blogs to news articles in NM every persons TSA agent asked for them to turn it over with no charges filed; I could be listed as a possible felon. It was an honest mistake with no bad intentions in any way. I simply forgot to take it out of my wallet. As unexcusable as this being listed as a felon for such an action is crazy. My question is that in two weeks I am traveling over seas am I allowed to fly?

I completely forgot I was carrying one of these last weekend at STL, and instead of offering to let me mail it or throw it away, TSA immediately called the terminal police. I got led off to the police station while my new wife (we had actually just gotten married the night before) was left with my bags crying in the terminal. Now I'm stuck having to fly back to St. Louis for a court date. Thank you TSA for saving everyone on the plane from the knife I didn't even realize I was carrying and making my life hell.

Like several other commentators above I was recently detained for 45 minutes and told repeatedly (in what can only be called a gleeful manner) by TSA agents that I was going to be arrested for having a concealed weapon. In fact what I had on me was not a credit card knife at all and the cooler heads of the responding law enforcement agency prevailed. The TSA needs to be forced to better rationalize its decisions, post up-to-date restrictions in a clear and concise manner (as this 3 month old blog post is clearly inaccurate based on current practice), and provide far better training for its agents.

Nothing you just said was true. I get hassled more in uniform than in my civilian clothes at the checkpoints. With the exception if having to remove my boots unless they have metal in the soles (than I have to take mine off as well and combat boots take much longer to take off and put on than your tennis shoes). Also it is impossible to join the military without a full background check. Now if you are of another country you earn citizenship by serving. So there are no illegals in the military, only naturalized citizens. Retirees are treated the same as everyone else unless wheelchair or cane bound.

"Tsa's role is not to capture terrorists. Their function is to insure safe travel to the American public." That is their perceived/stated function. I cannot avoid believing their true function is to condition us to 'do as we are told' ie 'control'.
Earlier this month I flew halfway across the US with a 'forgotten' credit card knife in my wallet and with a cheap pocket knife (I left my good one at home) in my carry-on. I was not questioned about either.
I have always carried a pocket knife since the age of 10 and feel naked without the tool at my ready disposal.

TSA is, in my opinion, is the biggest example of government throwing huge amounts of money to falsely tell the public that they are "doing something". 95% of the security tests run by their own agency fail. They have made air travel so obnoxious and indecent that many people will not travel by air. Sure, let's pat down the 80 year old nun and five year old child just to make sure we aren't profiling people. What a bunch of crap. The entire agency should be eliminated along with most of Homeland Security.

Olivier Giroud is relishing the opportunity to get his first taste of Champions League football on Tuesday night.
The 25-year-old has spent the majority of his career in the lower leagues of French football, before exploding on to the scene with Montpellier.
The France international helped his former club to the Ligue 1 title - and will now line up against them in this week's Group B opener.
"It is always important to play in the Champions League to continue your progression as a footballer," he said.
"I'm looking forward to play against very good teams and to having the experience of the Champions League with Arsenal.
"I have found my first months at Arsenal good. I think the team have played well. I am confident that the season will be good."
Giroud thoroughly enjoyed his two-year spell at Montpellier, and admits he owes the club for helping him move forward in his career.
"A lot of things went right for Montpellier last season. It was an incredible season for us and one that I will never forget," he said.
"I will always have great memories of my time at the Club and the people and the fans.
"I want to say thank you to Montpellier because they gave me the possibility to play in the first division in France, join Arsenal and come to the Premier League, and then play in the Champions League.
"But they know that I recognise and appreciate the opportunity that they gave me."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hey all -
I'm a lifelong SW fan - my mother was kind enough to have taken myself and my older brother Mike to all 3 of the original movies when they came out. You could say I was "Raised on Star Wars". I had darn near every single action figure, space-ship, etc. from the 70's through the early 80's. As an adult, that love never went away. From using Stormtrooper and Bounty Hunter images for my DJ persona/marketing materials (I go by DJ-138, a riff on a TK call sign), to my "mild" obsession with playing SWTOR and a lot of the older LucasArts video games, you could say I'm a bit of a SW junkie.
Of course, when it comes down to my favorite characters, the Bounty Hunters and various Stormstrooper classes have always been my favorite.
I have never been much of a costumer - but on the occasions that I have done any sort of costume creating, I have always done so more or less from scratch - and I have done custom "Barbarian" costumes, to various takes on The Devil. It's been YEARS since I have made a costume - and I decided that this year, I want to finally delve into the world of a Bounty Hunter costume build, and as accurate of one as I can manage to make.
All of that being said - I'm a total n00b when it comes to this level of detailed costuming, and reading through the various builds, techniques, etc. - I'm terrified. I feel like I'm drinking from the proverbial firehose.
I'm hoping to connect with some local Bay Area enthusiasts and builders to help me in my quest to build my own suit, and offer advice, guidance, and with any luck, friendship.
Thanks for reading thus far - I look forward to getting to know you folks!
Marco aka DJ-138

NOOG – a set of purely digital collectibles is a collaborative, purely digital art project that uses augmented reality technology in a fun and easy way. I just came across it and hope to be able to experiment with it a bit more. Above some of my first attempts using this fun tool that instatnly brings augmented reality into the hands of anyone…
"The NOOG Collection is the first set of purely digital collectables known to us. There have been different versions of existing material collectables that have transgressed into the virtual world of the Internet, but these are mere extensions to sets that predominantly populate the world in a material form. Digital Collectables define a pure immaterial set of desirable yet absent objects. Collectors begin their journey as curious and inspired amateurs. As their hunger for completion increases with every obtained fractal of a set, the collector steadily develops into a lover of NOOG.
They grow into masters as their desire for the entire set grows with the number of collected fractals of a set increases. The less pieces of the puzzle that are missing, the more a true collectors heart desires those missing and the warmer her love for the collected elements becomes.
Digital collecting demands a greater heart than material collecting, as the viral and virtual love is purer, it being disassociated from material and form. In digital collecting the intellect and passion must combine to heighten the imagination of the collector.
Pure love, desire and passion are entirely detached from a material form. Customization turns into a rewarding level of collecting, where the collector can interact with her set and become artist and curator of her own collection. 128 NOOGs are fully designed and styled, all of which have their own flavor. Another 128 NOOGs can be styled by you, the collector, using your own imagination."

Voters fatigued from menacing political ads, anxious to see the 2012 election season make its descent into history, have a few more days to endure the political hijacking of their television screens. They've reached maximum density in tolerating the incessant punditry, pontifications, polls, and unpleasantries.
What I hear many voters say as I moderate community conversations across the state is that they hunger for civility and substance in political discourse. An example of that high-level, interactive conversation happened last week just hours before the vice presidential debate at Centre College, a few campus buildings away from where Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan went toe to toe.
The Global Center for Connected Campuses (GC3) — in partnership with Centre College, Connected Nation and 10/20 Digital — hosted more than 3,000 students from 48 states and 14 countries in a live town hall discussion. While the final participation tally in the digital town hall could equal more, those preliminary numbers demonstrate the eagerness of young people to find ways to engage in the political process even if they aren't old enough to punch a voting ballot.
The questions posed via Twitter and video messaging were as sophisticated as the bright panelists who answered them. From social media, to foreign policy, to higher education and the environment, representatives from the Centre College Democrats and Republicans fielded questions from their younger peers.
As moderator, I was pleased that Kentucky's top election officers of the past and present joined the conversation to weight the discussion with their experiences as elected officials. Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes spent the first hour of the two-hour event on stage, followed by her predecessor Trey Grayson, who now heads Harvard's Institute of Politics. Grayson chimed in using Skype.
The technical ingenuity of the event was impressive, and so was the conversation. The purpose of the project was to showcase educational technology, share the debate experience with students, and give teachers a framework for teaching civic engagement and election topics in the classroom. It succeeded on all those levels, all while an in-theatre audience of youngsters looked on and offered some questions of their own. It was my honor to moderate the discussion that you can see here. Or, visit the event website.

You can change the offer, alter the creative, or adjust the price, but the reality of the new world is that, to make these facets of the four P's (product, price, place, promotion) work, you also need an effective marketing mix.
There was a time when we had the luxury of ongoing and simple experimentation with mix; that's no longer available for us as technology marketers. Our audiences are increasingly orchestrating their own incredibly complex behaviors — ones that we don't control. They're using, on average, seven content sources (for example, direct email, search, online forums, white papers, direct sales conversations, and sponsored seminars) and contemplating five or more types of content types (ROI engines, customer examples, cloud integration, options/benefits, and industry examples) across the buying process. If you think that's challenging enough for marketers, we are now seeing increased blending between formats (online to search, print to direct) in a more mature, mixed manner than ever before. Add to this the selective integration of different content needs in specific online destinations, and we see a marketing mix ecosystem that is neither linear nor homogeneous. It feels progressively like a DNA strand, twisted in a helix and connected at varying points and components.
To succeed in your other P's, you need to know how to handle the key dynamics of the marketing mix before you can adjust the other levers, like marketing a price or product change. For example, if you adjust price but don't get your marketing mix right (from targeting to content to messaging or integrated media), you will never know if price adjustments really worked. In truth, you cannot avoid the marketing mix dilemma if you want to deliver outcomes from the other big P's.

Will railed about global warming-hurricane link claim; ignored actual scientific data on hurricane intensity
On the September 25 broadcast of ABC's This Week, George Will asserted in a panel discussion that no scientific evidence supports a correlation between global warming and recent intense hurricane activity, stating that such claims are as baseless as blaming the hurricanes on the "prescription drug entitlement." As host George Stephanopoulos and guest David Gergen [1] attempted to point out, Will's comments on hurricane frequency ignored the heart of the current scientific debate that postulates a link between hurricane intensity -- not frequency -- and warming trends.
Will's attempt to downplay any relationship between warming and hurricane activity relied on a chart documenting the frequency of hurricanes striking the mainland United States. National Weather Service data [2] show that the number of hurricanes striking the United States has not increased in recent decades but rather has fluctuated from decade to decade.
The main question for scientists in investigating links between global warming and hurricanes, however, has not been "How often?" but instead "How intense?" By presenting data on hurricane frequency relative to the mainland United States, Will showed only that hurricanes originating in the Atlantic Ocean are not occurring any more frequently than in past decades. Although this observation is accurate, it does not address the fact that hurricanes are becoming increasingly powerful, a trend identified in research on hurricanes worldwide.
A recent study [3] by the Georgia Institute of Technology and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which appears in the September 16 issue [4] of Science magazine, revealed that "[t]he number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes worldwide has nearly doubled over the past 35 years" and that "[t]he shift occurred as global sea surface temperatures have increased over the same period." Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has conducted similar research [5], suggesting in the August issue [6] of Nature magazine that current and future global warming may well increase the destructiveness of hurricanes. According to Emanuel, "The energy released by the average hurricane (again considering all hurricanes worldwide) seems to have increased by around 70% in the past 30 years or so, corresponding to about a 15% increase in the maximum wind speed and a 60% increase in storm lifetime."
Further, Emanuel stated: "[E]verywhere we have looked, the change in hurricane energy consumption follows very closely the change in tropical sea surface temperature. When the sea surface temperature falls, the energy consumption falls, and conversely, when it rises, so too does the energy consumption." He continued: "[R]ecords strongly suggest that the 0.5 degree centigrade (1 degree Fahrenheit) warming of the tropical oceans we have seen in the past 50 years is unprecedented for perhaps as long as a few thousand years. Scientists who work on these records therefore believe that the recent increase is anthropogenic." Will's research therefore omits the kinds of changes in hurricane activity that may indeed be linked to global climate change.
From a panel discussion that included Stephanopoulos, Will, Gergen, and political strategist Donna Brazile [7] on the September 25 broadcast of ABC's of This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: But it comes, and I wanted to pick up on something that [National Hurricane Center director] Max Mayfield said there. It looks like this is just the beginning of what could be a long stretch of hurricanes. And the big debate is we know that the oceans are warming, we know that we're in for this era of hurricanes, but the big debate, George Will, is how much of that is caused by global warming? I think I know what you think about this, and I think you've got some backup from Max Mayfield.
WILL: I do. We have a graphic here that will really underscore what he told you, which is, "This is just a normal cycle." If you could put the graphic up of U.S. hurricane strikes by decades. The bar graphs are the white bars show the total number of hurricanes per decade. The red graph shows the severe category 3, 4, and 5 ones, and what they show is it was particularly bad in the 1910s, 1930s, and 1940s -- before someone had decided that global warming was the cause of this.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Yes, but if you look at -- we're only halfway through the decade barely, we've had six very intense hurricanes this decade, and we do know, David Gergen, that the ocean is warming and a lot of scientists have looked at this -- Science magazine, Nature magazine -- and say we don't know for sure, but global warming could be playing a part in this.
GERGEN: We certainly know that ocean temperatures have increased in temperature by about a degree in the last 30 years. We know that in the Gulf [of Mexico] it's about five degrees above normal. We know that warmer waters produce more severe hurricanes, and we know that in the last 30 years or so we've had an increase of 80 percent in the intensity of hurricanes. In other words, we've had 80 percent more Category 4 and Category 5 hurricanes in the last 30 years. Now, that is not conclusive proof of global warming causing hurricanes. George is absolutely right about that -- there is a natural cycle here. The question, though, it does seem to be under these circumstances this is a wake-up call to take global warming and climate change more seriously and to investigate this more seriously not to sigh and to treat dismissively.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Donna's nodding, and George is sighing.
WILL: I have an alternative theory. I think these two hurricanes were caused by the prescription drug entitlement. You will say, "How can you say that? The entitlement hasn't even started." There's no conclusive evidence that global warming, that is to say, an unprecedented, irreversible, and radical change has started. You will say, "There's no scientific proof." Same answer. You will say, "Aren't you embarrassed, Mr. Will, to be attaching your political agenda to a national disaster?" Yeah, I'm embarrassed, but everyone else is doing it.
