I am getting used to win8 but it looks like 8.1 will tie everything to the cloud. I live in a motorhome and enjoy retirement wandering around this beautiful country we live in. My problem is that I often have no internet connection or an unsecured connection. I am aware I can tether with my cell phone but that uses considerable data. Is there a way to upgrade to 8.1 without everything going to the cloud? I know my email is and has been there but I don't care for storing all my pictures and documents in a cloud!
You'll be relieved to know that's there's not much difference between using Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Most of the changes are in the interface and have nothing to do with cloud connectivity. Just like Windows 8, you can choose to use it online or offline. You will need to connect to the Internet for your free upgrade, but after that, it's up to you. You can choose to connect only when you want to go online, check e-mail or do Windows updates.
Saving photos and documents to the cloud is an option, just like with Windows 8 or even Windows 7. It's not required.

O'Beirne claimed Kerry "very quietly" endorsed minimum wage hike
Though Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) spoke in favor of raising the minimum wage throughout his 2004 presidential campaign and issued a proposal to do so on June 18, 2004, National Review Washington editor Kate O'Beirne asserted on the March 12 edition of CNN's The Capital Gang: "[I]f the Republicans were on such defense on the issue of raising the national minimum wage ... John Kerry would have mentioned it in the course of the campaign. I don't remember John Kerry ever advocating during this campaign an increase in the minimum wage." When Capital Gang panelist Mark Shields corrected O'Beirne, saying, "Senator Kerry did endorse the minimum wage. I heard him do it," O'Beirne remarked, "Very quietly!" Panelist and CNN host Robert Novak added: "Maybe in his pillow."
Here are examples of Kerry's overt and repeated statements of support for raising the minimum wage:
- The Washington Post reported [1] on June 19, 2004: "Sen. John F. Kerry called yesterday for a 36 percent hike in the federal minimum wage over the next three years, contending that such an increase would help 7 million working people escape poverty." A New York Times report [2], also from June 19, on Kerry's minimum wage proposal noted that "Mr. Kerry has spoken generally about raising the minimum wage throughout the campaign and supports legislation making it $7 sponsored by his colleague from Massachusetts, Senator Edward M. Kennedy."
- The "economy [3]" section of JohnKerry.com, the website of the Kerry-Edwards '04 campaign, featured a "detailed plan [4]" to raise the minimum wage.
- The 2004 Democratic National Platform [5] stated:
"The dream of the middle class should belong to all Americans willing to work for it. We still have work to do as long as millions of Americans work full-time, fulfill their responsibilities, and continue to live in poverty. We will offer these Americans a ladder to the middle class. That means raising the minimum wage to $7.00, increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit and extending child credits so that parents who work full-time don't have to raise their children in poverty."
- In an October 22, 2004, speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, "Mr. Kerry said he would raise the minimum wage, from $5.15 to $7 an hour, helping nine million women," according to a New York Times report [6] the next day.
- During the third presidential debate [7] on October 13, 2004, Kerry stated: "It's long overdue time to raise the minimum wage."
- In his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, vice presidential candidate John Edwards said [8]: "We will do that when John [Kerry] is in the White House. We will raise the minimum wage, finish the job on welfare reform, and bring good paying jobs to the places that need them."
- In a March 2, 2004, speech [9], Kerry stated: "[W]e will raise the minimum wage so that no one in America works a 40-hour work week and can't get out of poverty."
- Even before the February 3, 2004, South Carolina primary, Kerry told the Myrtle Beach (South Carolina) Sun News: "I helped lead the fight to pass the last minimum wage increase in 1997 and I propose increasing the minimum wage and indexing it to inflation so it keeps pace with the cost of living." [1/31/04]
From the March 12 edition of CNN's The Capital Gang:
O'BEIRNE: If this was such a winning issue, if the Republicans were on such defense on the issue of raising the national minimum wage -- because of course, many states have higher minimum wages -- John Kerry would have mentioned it in the course of the campaign. I don't remember John Kerry ever advocating during this campaign an increase in the minimum wage. That doesn't strike me as a winning Democratic issue.
AL HUNT (panelist): Mark, Kate says the minimum wage doesn't resonate because Senator Kerry didn't talk about it much. The people in Florida had a chance to vote on it, and I think they voted, what, about 4 or 5 to 1 for increasing the minimum wage.
SHIELDS: Both Nevada and Florida had referenda, where they went 70 percent to increase the minimum wage, Al. And Senator Kerry did endorse the minimum wage. I heard him do it --
NOVAK: He talked about it a lot, did he?
SHIELDS: -- during the -- no, I mean, I heard him do it during the campaign.
O'BEIRNE: Very quietly!
SHIELDS: But I'd just -- I'd just point out --
NOVAK: Maybe in his pillow.

SESSION VII (11/05/13) -- Opportunities to Influence from the Inside: How Campaign/Staff Positions Can Be Gateways to Political Prominence In our system of government we have one President, 535 members of Congress, 50 Governors (more or less), countless state legislators, mayors and other municipal leaders. This means that there are tens of thousands staff members making hundreds of thousands of decisions that influence our political lives. If you are looking for diversity in political live, this is where you are apt to find it. In this session we will hear from diverse candidates and millennials who have traveled this pathway to political prominence. Guest: Danielle Gray, Assistant to President and Cabinet Secretary

I have been working on this for a couple of months in my spare time, it is still under construction. the original concept was to be a light, compact, beltfed hip shooter. The first step was to cut the bbl to 14" and thread it for a fal flash hider, then the sights on the feed cover were removed and the holes welded shut.
I installed a rail on the mounts for the gas system and put on a 100 mw green laser. next I decided it needed a new stock, I like the ace skeleton stocks and built one from some scrap laying around the shop.
The next project was to eliminate the drum as it is bulky and hangs on the side, so I made and adapter for SAW ammo bags. After shooting it I decided it needed a bipod, so I chopped the standard one down to a more practical size.
the next project will be a new handguard with a rail so I can move the laser back, as the blast from the gas system gets all over it in its current position.
I call it the "RPD from Hell" and will engrave a skull & cross bones on it when we get better engraving software.
It is a lot of fun to shoot, light up the target with the laser and blast away!!

text: I've never been a fan of all of the singing shows that continually pop up every season. I think I watched half of the first season of American Idol and that was it. I did watch a bit of Dancing With the Stars but seeing a lot of non-dancer dance badly made me laugh sometimes, but most of the time bored me. I love dance shows though, and that's why I'm happy SYTYCD is back! I really enjoyed last season. Melanie and Sasha were my favs and they finished 1-2. This season, however, they've put a twist on it. Instead of one person winning, they'll have two: one boy, one girl. I think that's pretty fair. I know in the season with Joshua and Katie, Joshua won overall but Katie got $50K for being the top girl of the season. I wonder if they did that the following season with Brandon and Jeanine? I can't remember hearing anything about it... Anyhoo, I'm excited! 2-hours of auditions tonight...can't wait!

Crain's Names Three Wayne Law Alumni Power Lawyers
DETROIT (Dec. 16, 2008) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates Hon. Jessica Cooper, '73, Elizabeth Hardy, '84, and F. Thomas Lewand, '70, on recently being named Power Lawyers by Crain's Detroit Business. Cooper, Hardy and Lewand were three of only 12 talented attorneys to make the list.
According to Crain's, the Power Lawyers list includes the "the rainmakers, the best-in-class legal pros winning cases, serving as legal talent for corporate clients or shaping corporate or government strategy." This year's selection process took into account those leading the charge on current significant cases, shaping regional issues or growing their firm's business in innovative ways.
"I congratulate Judge Cooper, Ms. Hardy and Mr. Lewand on their remarkable accomplishment," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor Robert M. Ackerman. "They have made significant contributions to their profession, and serve as excellent examples of what can be accomplished with a law degree. They will inspire future Wayne Law students and alumni for generations to come."
Judge Cooper was recently elected as Oakland County 's first female prosecutor and will start her service on Jan. 1, 2009. She was elected to the Court of Appeals in 2000 and again in 2006 before resigning that post in July 2007 and opening a private practice in Bingham Farms, where she focuses on labor law and court-appointed mediation to resolve civil disputes outside court.
Judge Cooper was an Oakland County Circuit Court judge from 1986 to 2000, where she made headlines in the 1999 imprisonment of so-called suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian and the 2000 murder trial of attorney Michael Fletcher.
Hardy is a founding partner of Kienbaum, Opperwall, Hardy & Pelton PLC in Birmingham , Mich. She has won several significant Michigan Supreme Court decisions that helped re-shape legal doctrines in the state in favor of employers.
Hardy plays a lead role in continuing negotiations between Wayne State University Medical School and Karmanos Cancer Institute on their connections and funding relationships. And, after 16 years on the WSU Board of Governors, and chairing the past two WSU presidential search committees, she continues as a member of the WSU Medical School advisory board.
Lewand is a partner with Bodman LLP in Detroit . He has played a significant role in the 31-year federal court battling over control and operation of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. He also has worked on health care institution negotiations and has negotiated public-private partnerships between corporations and municipalities.
Lewand serves on the executive committee of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. , as a director of the Wayne County Economic Development Corp. , and is immediate past chair of the University of Detroit Mercy board of trustees, among other roles.
Judge Cooper and Hardy have been featured as Wayne Law Treasure of Detroit Honorees for their outstanding service and dedication to the legal profession.
Additionally, two featured attorneys earned their undergraduate degrees from Wayne State University . Herschel Fink, a partner with Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP in Detroit , earned a Bachelor of Arts from WSU in 1964. Reginald Turner , a member with Clark Hill PLC in Detroit , earned a Bachelor of Science from WSU in 1982.
The above information and more detailed articles can be found on Crain's website at
Wayne State University Law School has educated and served the Detroit metropolitan area since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located at 471 West Palmer Street in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media and distance learning classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 40 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized and expert faculty, Wayne Law students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, are experts in their disciplines and include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

Hey Guys
I exposed my children to Star Wars, and they really dug it, so I burned the midnight oil before Halloween to get 2 kids Jedi Costumes for Oct 31st.
Since I new it was going to be cold here in Germany on the 31st, I made the Robes first. Not only did they keep the kids warm, but they hid all the stuff we should have been wearing as well as my sewing sins.
I found some really neat material... its 140 year old hand woven HEAVY linen. The kind of stuff they made dry goods sacks out of in the 1800s. It looks great (IMHO) the only downside is that it was made on very narrow hand looms. That caused me to sew a few "panel" together to have it wide enough for a Jedi Robe.
I got to finish some seams, and attach the hood... should be all done by this PM. I am tempted to leave it the natural color, ala Yoda's Robe, but will probably dye it Brown as the darker color will be more recognizable as "Jedi" AND cover some of my sewing sins.
Here is my daughters robe "almost" completed... the sewing part anyway.

|Haven't been here in a long time. Great to see some of the posts on your Terraplanes. I'm slowly still working on my '36. I retired about 4 months ago and now have more time to work on it (along with a '68 MGB, play with the grandkids, dogs, make Christmas yard art for family & friends, keep the house clean (bride still goes to work), maintenance around the house, etc, etc.). Will start posting photos of my progress as I go along.
|huddy bob
|Gooday to both of you guys . Its been interesting reading your posts re the 35 Terraplane I'm doing one myself here in Aus & like Ray stated I've put a L300 mitsubishi front suspension in it. I've put in holden (GM) stub axles & discs , V6 Commodore (holden again) motor & 4sp auto box + a early commodore diff . I'm just sorting steering & brakes out at moment & will attempt to get some pics on soon . Great to find this site .Cheers .
Depends what's old, but I'm 66 and I started working in a junk yard when I was 12, so I got to know the old cars pretty well. Got to cut it short, the boys are coming over to go fishing.

|Ray Bell
I think I could truthfully say that the only Hudsons I recall seeing 'in the day' were the step-down models of the early fifties...
Undoubtedly I saw pre-war stuff running around at the same time, but not that I recognised.
All I can say is that you must be pretty old!
There would be some stuff about, I know people in the Hudson club here, but I don't know what might be available.
For laughs, I really should post a picture of the MacIntyre Hudson sitting on its belly the day all the wheels broke...
I do know that Hudson did ship a lot of cars down under, also to England, and to our friends to the north of us. I was told once that if I needed parts get a hold of one of you guys there were lots of parts , but I don't know if that holds true now. They stopped making Terraplanes in 1938 here, although I myself only like the 33-35 years, as I think they are the best looking, and have lots of body lines. Next to a 1933-34 Ford and a 1926-27 model T, they would be my favorite cars, everyone has there own and they made many brands back in the day, I just glad to say I had seen them for real when they were still being driven as everyday cars.
Later bob
|Ray Bell
Yes, the hubs and brakes were part of what was being pointed out to me...
Terraplanes were very popular here in Australia. Many people raced them, I have an article somewhere about all the Terraplanes that were raced back in the day.
I actually drove one of them, it was based on a '35 IIRC and was one of the most-raced cars in all of Australia for years. I competed in a hillclimb back in 1977 driving it, great fun, it had a canvas single seat body on it and a couple of carbies, open exhausts and a lot of old Terraplane stuff down there doing its thing. The cork clutch was hard to master at the starts!
To keep the old Hudson engines alive at the revs they used to run, they ran low-pressure oil pumps driven by the fanbelt with a copper tube up the side of the crankcase. Little holes in the copper tube aimed squirts of oil at the differs on the con-rods and put oil into the bearings which wouldn't have been there otherwise because the trough in the oil caused by the rod going through it at 6,000rpm couldn't close over before the rod came around the next time.
That car I drove went through a bunch of metamorpheses. It started its racing life with a canvas roadster body, then had a neat steel body built with a later grille, then that was replaced with another canvas one. Through the fifties it remained like that, but in the sixties the steel body went back on, along with cycle guards, and a Y-block was stuck into it to race it as a sports car. Finally it was returned to its 1948-57 shape for Historic racing and that's how I drove it.
Today it's covered in dust, but Peter assures me that he's found another block and he'll get it running again soon.
front ends
You know Ray they might have been talking about the axle or steering because the frame seams pretty stout, and the cross member looks like it was built for a tank. Now I know as far as the 34-35 Terraplane and Hudson they were the same except for the grille insert and the hood ornament. I do not know if the frames were different for the 6 or 8 engine, but I doubt it . The Terraplanes were 6 cyl., and the one I have is the short one with a flatback, I was told there are less than 100 give or take, in the world.
It might be quite rare , but at the same time it was quite rough, the Hudson Terraplane club turn it down to build. Street rodders they will try anything. A guy from the club got me some fenders and he knew it was the car they had turn down, but said nothing. Later on I went to a show with it, in primer, seen the guy that got me the fenders, so I took him out to show him what I had did to the car, he sat down as soon as he saw it shook his head and told me that when he saw what car I was putting the fenders on , he said he thought I was either drunk or on drugs to try and fix that car up. Street rodders get her done
35 terraplane
|Ray Bell
Not a problem...
One thing that strikes me about it all, of all US cars of the period, the Terraplane was the fastest lightweight around. I remember someone pointing out to me years ago how flimsy the original front end was.
front ends
Ray: I'm sorry , I didn't understand what you were asking, I don't know about the other front ends. I'm the only one around here that I know of that has used the Toyota front end and we just run into it at the junk yard when we were looking for something to put on the Terraplane. I wasn't sure that a Mustang was heavey enough. You have to know I did this over 20 years ago. I don't know if I were to do it today if I would go to the yard and get one or buy a new after market one. I don't go to the yards much anymore to get my parts, I would rather pay more and have a new peice for pease of mind when going down the road, when it comes to the moving parts, using sheetmetal to design something into the car or something like that is another story although being a guy that likes 30's cars they don't need much changeing. Again sorry about the mixup and you have a good da
35 Terraplane
|Ray Bell
It is... what a pity you don't have it...
And the one from the earlier Toymota Hi-Ace vans would probably have been good too, though it was a drum brake thing.
|Ray, I've seen pics of the Mitsu front suspension you guys Down Under use, I don't think it is sold here in the US. Shame though, it looks like a really easily adaptable set-up from what I have seen.
|Ray Bell
Not talking about aftermarket front ends...
I'm talking about the pickups and vans made by Mitsubishi in the eighties, they had a neat front end (similar to the Toymota front end pictured above, but with easier mounting prospects) that is very popular in hot-rods and other conversions here in Australia.
front ends
I have no idea what you are talking about, selling what where, When I put my front end on my terraplane, no one made after market front ends for Terraplane, they didn't make them for most Fords let alone anything else, maybe you were too young when that started. Now days I would put a after market mustang on a car Fatman makes them for about anything.
35 terraplane
|Ray Bell
Does Mitsubishi sell their L300 vans and L200 pickups there?
If so, their front crossmembers from the eighties are tailor-made for this type of conversion. Also have Ford/Mopar stud pattern and disc brakes.
36 Terraplane
Wayne I go by 35terraplane. I put a Toyota P/U front end in my 35 Terraplane, it was really quite easy. First I stripped every thing off of the Terraplane, after taking all the measurements off the 35 frame I had the fenders on it and axle and wheel, I checked it from several points, both sides so I knew Where the center of the hub was. I checked it from the front and also from the center of the front hub to the center of the back hub. After I had checked both sides every which way but upside down, I took the 35 apart until all I had left was the frame and the cross member. Then I found the center of the cross member of the P/U cross member, now this is the hard part, if when you set your new crossmember under your 36 frame, where the 36 hub center is the same as your P/U hub center is, and the frame of your 36 is still sitting on the cross member of the P/u it should work the same as what I did on my 35. What I did is cut the P/U cross member so the frame of the Terraplane would slide into the cross member, I just slid the cross member back until I had the right wheel base, took a piece of 1/4" steel, put it under the frame rails, that went all the way across then 1/4" steel on both sides of the frame rail and welded it up the wheel base was perfect they had no problem when they put it on the wheel rack drives like a champ. If you read this I do Have pictures I can send. You do know that fatman makes a mustang kit for a 36, I do not know if your frame is the same as mine or not I think it might not be the same but not sure. And it is hard to explain when you are not looking at it. So get a hold of me before you cut your feet off.

As some of you may know, Santa Barbara has been under siege by fire over the last 72 hours. The devastation has reached biblical proportions, with more extreme, unseasonal fire weather slated for today. This fire has effectively morphed from a brush fire, to a massive forest fire in the last 24 hours. Evacuation Orders and Evac Warnings encompass 75% of all of the City of Santa Barbara, portions of Goleta and areas in Montecito, to the East.

Today we take a moment to step away from our busy lives to remember the life and sacrifices of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It's a day for the nation to honor the legacy and spirit of this civil rights giant.
In his proclamation designating Jan. 20 as the MLK Federal holiday, President Obama urges Americans to come together for a day of service.
"By volunteering our time and energy, we can build stronger, healthier, more resilient communities. Today, let us put aside our narrow ambitions, lift up one another, and march a little closer to the Nation Dr. King envisioned," the president said in his proclamation.

Who We Are
The New England Newborn Screening Program helps prevent treatable disorders through early detection. The program started in 1962 in Massachusetts, screening for just one disease. Since that time, the number of treatable disorders in the program has increased, and newborn screening has been adopted worldwide as a routine standard of care.
Why Screen Newborns
Most babies, including those with disorders, appear healthy at birth. Routine screening of newborn babies can help doctors identify and treat certain disorders that are not apparent at birth but can become severe later on.
How we saved one baby's life
Timely screening is critical for newborns, and doesn't stop in extreme weather conditions. Heroic acts by New England Newborn Screening Program staff in the middle of a blizzard saved Juliana Salvi's life, according to segments on WCVB-TV, WHDH-TV and Yahoo News.

I have been taking the New Chapter Native Woman for 3 years now and wouldn't go a day without after learning about the product from a woman who's husband was involved in the product development. I was in search of something, not certain what, to make me feel more energetic and upbeat. She advised that at my age (early 40's) that it was perimenopause systems and said to spend the money on Native Woman and Estrotone, both New Chapter. I immediately (within a few days) felt more cheerful and upbeat. I have since directed many, many female friends to these products. I have purchased them locally, but without a doubt, iherb has them available for the absolute best prices and I have been a loyal shopper for 7 years now (since living in So. Cal.). New Chapter products are not cheap, but they make a enormous difference in your overall health. Native Woman is one I can't live without! S.H., Beaverton, OR

TSA Pre✓™ is a Risk Based Recipe for Success
34 comments:
- Anonymous said...
The Precheck screening should be the standard screening for ALL passengers. The body scanners should be voluntary or a secondary method of screening, either by random selection or setting of the metal detector.
Shoes should not have to be taken off. Most countries do not require shoe removal and no planes have been blown up.
The one size fits all approach to airport security actually could work because 99.9999999999999+% of all passengers are NOT terrorists. However we are all treated as if we are terrorists. Go back to pre 9/11 security methods with the hardened cockpit doors. Look at all of the items found by the TSA each week. Rarely is anything caught by the body scanner and none of the items cuaght by it are threats to the plane.
If terrorism was really such a threat, wouldn't the TSA have caught at least ONE terrorist in their 10 year existence?

Bob, care to comment on some of the serious concerns raised in that article's comments? Why is the government deeming as more trustworthy and less of a risk those passengers who patronize private companies (airlines) a certain amount? Why is a passenger who flies 100,000 miles a year on one airline less of a risk than a passenger who flies 20,000 miles apiece on five different airlines? Why is a passenger's elite status in a private company a factor in that passenger's risk factor? How about a passenger whose home airport is one of the over 200 airports where there is no PreCheck? How about a passenger who flies only 15,000 miles a year but has done so uneventfully for the past decade? How about passengers who fly mainly on airlines for which there is no PreCheck?
And finally, since passengers who are eligible won't know till they show up whether they've been deemed trustworthy that day, there is no time savings and passengers still must show up with enough time for the full TSA experience.
I fully expect you to post this comment and never address these serious concerns. Because that's what you do on this blog. With my taxpayer money.
Thank you.

I think the program will have a lot of benefits for the frequent traveler.

No one should have to remove shoes or jackets to go through security. No one should be forced to choose between being virtually strip-searched or rubbed down.
How about screening everyone like they do abroad? You know - metal detectors, with shoes on.

I understand the head of the TSA refuses to meet with the congressional transportation oversight committee. The arrogance of the TSA knows no bounds! I also understand the TSA says they are above congressional oversite. I'm thrilled that the TSA is showing their arrogance so blatantly. I hope congress gets really angry with the TSA. I want to see a showdown and I want to see the TSA get what they deserve.

No, it's a way to set up two-tiers of passengers: those whom you've invaded their privacy by running unecessary background checks so they can be "trusted" (put into your bloated database) and "untrusted" travelers whom you will continue to assault & take naked pics.
The US gov't shouldn't be like N. Korea. American citizens should NOT have to be "approved" or "trusted," nor get the gov't's "approval" to travel in our country.

TSA's Pre Check is just another fouled up exercise by TSA that benefits few travelers while the remaining 98% of travelers are getting electronically strip search or felt up at TSA checkpoints.
Pre Check screening should be the standard level of screening for everyone and only going to higher levels with cause.
Do TSA employees have to identify themselves when asked?

I was very excited to be part of the TSA Pre program as I travel 2-3times per month. I have so far only used the TSA Pre line twice mostly due to airports I am using do not have it yet). But I am a bit confused as my experience was very different with each. The first time it worked as I expected, kept jacket on, shoes on, laptop in bag (even though I have a TSA friendly bag and was able to do that prior). The second time, I was requested to take my shoes off (they might beep) and take my coat off (it might be too long). Not sure in the second case how going through the TSA Pre line made any difference for me from the standard line. So just curious, is this a matter of training, or is removing your coat and shoes up to the discretion of the agent? Don't get me wrong...not complaining... My experience with TSA has been great, especially as much as I travel. Ulike some of the comments I see hear bashing TSA (from what I suspect is people who don't even travel). I say keep finding those guns, etc...I do not need a whack job sitting next to me on a plane with a weapon...terrorist or not.

What percentage of the flying public does pre-check impact, Bob? 1%? Certainly no more than 5% and it doesn't work on international flights.
Pre-check was designed to quell complaints from frequent flyers about the TSA's intrusive screening process.
BTW, as Bob still has not told us if TSA screeners are required to give us their names when asked, I certainly don't expect him to answer this question either.

The Risk-based Security approach is truely the superior approach to an ineffective one-size-fits-all approach. The TSO's are so worried about satisfying every SOP when doing their job they may take their attention away from what really matters, catching the bad guy.

Friedman's article is far more convincing than your response.
1) I don't see you disputing his core concern: "The concern with this program is that TSA is supposed to be minimizing security threats where the threat is based on the specific event, someone boarding a plane, not the individual."
2) You don't dispute his point about identity theft and seem to be admitting that an identity theft could easily find a way to undermine PreCheck.

Can you cite any studies that demonstrate any sort of correlation between information PreCheck collects and the risk of a person having terrorist intentions?
Everything I ever read about the de-funded Total Information Awareness program (later called Terrorist Information Awareness) said that no good correlations were ever found. That's not surprising. Since there are very, very few terrorists. Statistically, it would be extremely difficult to find any sort of correlation.
What information could PreCheck candidates possibly reveal about themselves that would demonstrate that they are less risk than the non-PreCheck passenger?
With all the talk about risk-based approaches, I'd like to see some evidence that there's actually some risk-based analysis going on.

I've been following the TSA and Global Entry links in circles. Is there a page or publicly-available document that explains what information someone must give up to the government to qualify for PreCheck? Is there a privacy policy for PreCheck?

Is there any statistical correlation between the number of miles or the number of first class trips one takes a year and one's predilection to terrorist acts? Is a traveler who flies 100,000 miles a year less likely to be a terrorist than one who has taken only three trips a year, but has done so each year for the past decade?
Given the infinitesimally small number of actual terrorists out there, can *any* meaningful link be established between number of miles flown and terrorist inclinations?
If not, then we can only conclude that PreCheck is a carrot to airlines' most valuable customers to shut them up about the hassles of TSA screening.

Bob, you forgot to mention in your thread that individuals who are disqualified from Pre-Check are put onto yet another watch list:
"Under the new TSA PreCheck system, known travelers who clear background checks get to leave on shoes, jackets and belts and not bother unloading laptops or liquids, as they board through a dedicated speed lane. But, as of November, previous PreCheck participants disqualified from the program due to certain violations are named in a new watch list that is part of the TSA screening system Secure Flight."
As usual, TSA put this into effect surreptitiously claiming it was not required to have a comment period.

And the bus is headed down the freeway at 50 miles an hour.... how do you get away?
And the subway is in a tunnel doing 70 miles per hour... how do you get away?
The point is, the whack jobs are everywhere not just on an airplane. There are, in fact, fewer whack jobs on an aircraft then everywhere else and no credit to the TSA for that fact.
The TSA can not, will not, and does not, provide 'safety' to any passenger or aircraft. The TSA screens passengers for dangerous items to prevent those items from being on the aircraft. But the lack of 'dangerous items' does not make anyone safe while on the aircraft. There are so many items on the aircraft that someone could use to cause harm it isn't even funny. The only truly dangerous thing on the aircraft is someone wanting to do harm to the passengers or craft. TSA does nothing to prevent that. No one can.

Sitting next to me, all they have to do is reach over and stab me, punch me, bite me... we are in a plane, 30,000 miles up, stuck in a window seat.... just where do you suggest I go to get out of the way?

So a whack job is ok if they are in the back of a bus but not if they are in the back of an airplane ......30,000 miles..... up.
In today's world if that whack job did take you out there would be plenty of others ready to take out the whack job.

While earwigs do not actually lay eggs in human ears, many homeowners find that they still wish to learn how to get rid of earwigs- fast. While earwigs do not present a danger to human ears, they are known to damage certain flowers and crops.
Earwigs like to hide in dark, moist places and will therefore move into human attics and cause homeowners to learn how to get rid of earwigs. A female earwig can lay up to 80 eggs, which will hatch within one week of being laid. Don't let confusion over how to get rid of earwigs stand in your way; contact a professional today.

Target CO2
What is the long term sensitivity to increasing CO2? What, indeed, does long term sensitivity even mean? Jim Hansen and some colleagues (not including me) have a preprint available that claims that it is around 6ºC based on paleo-climate evidence. Since that is significantly larger than the 'standard' climate sensitivity we've often talked about, it's worth looking at in more detail.
We need to start with some definitions. Sensitivity is defined as the global mean surface temperature anomaly response to a doubling of CO2 with other boundary conditions staying the same. However, depending on what the boundary conditions include, you can get very different numbers. The standard definition (sometimes called the Charney sensitivity), assumes the land surface, ice sheets and atmospheric composition (chemistry and aerosols) stay the same. Hansen's long term sensitivity (which might be better described as the Earth System sensitivity) allows all of these to vary and feed back on the temperature response. Indeed, one can imagine a whole range of different sensitivities that could be clearly defined by successively including additional feedbacks. The reason why the Earth System sensitivity might be more appropriate is because that determines the eventual consequences of any particular CO2 stabilization scenario.
Traditionally, the decision to include or exclude a feedback from consideration has been based on the relevant timescales and complexity. The faster a feedback is, the more usual it is to include. Thus, changes in clouds (~hours) or in water vapour (~10 days) are undoubtedly fast and get included as feedbacks in all definitions of the sensitivity. But changes in vegetation (decades to centuries) or in ice sheets (decades(?) to centuries to millennia) are slower and are usually left out. But there are other fast feedbacks that don't get included in the standard definition for complexity reasons – such as the change in ozone or aerosols (dust and sulphates for instance) which are also affected by patterns of rainfall, water vapour, temperature, soli moisture, transport and clouds (etc.).
Not coincidentally, the Charney sensitivity corresponds exactly to the sensitivity one gets with a standard atmospheric GCM with a simple mixed-layer ocean, while the Earth System sensitivity would correspond to the response in a (as yet non-existent) model that included interactive components for the cryosphere, biosphere, ocean, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols. Intermediate sensitivities could however be assessed using the Earth System models that we do have.
In principal, many of these sensitivities can be deduced from paleo-climate records. What is required is a good enough estimate of the global temperature change and measures of the various forcings. However, there are a few twists in the tale. Firstly, getting 'good enough' estimates for global temperatures changes is hard – this has been done well for the last century or so, reasonably for a few centuries earlier, and potentially well enough for the really big changes associated with the glacial-interglacial cycle. While sufficient accuracy in the last few centuries is a couple of tenths of a degree, this is unobtainable for the last glacial maximum or the Pliocene (3 million years ago). However, since the signal is much larger in the earlier periods (many degrees), the signal to noise ratio is similar.
Secondly, although many forcings can be derived from paleo-records (long-lived greenhouse gases from bubbles in the ice cores most notably), many cannot. The distribution of sulphate aerosols even today is somewhat uncertain, and at the last glacial maximum, almost completely unconstrained. This is due in large part to the heterogenity of their distribution and there are similar problems for dust and vegetation. In some sense, it is the availability of suitable forcing records that suggests what kind of sensitivity one can define from the record. A more subtle point is that the 'efficacy' of different forcings might vary, especially ones that have very different regional signatures, making it more difficult to add up different terms that might be important at any one time.
Lastly, and by no means leastly, Earth System sensitivity is not stable over geologic time. How much it might vary is very difficult to tell, but for instance, it is clear that from the Pliocene to the Quaternary (the last ~2,5 million years of ice age cycles), the climate has become more sensitive to orbital forcing. It is therefore conceivable (but not proven) that any sensitivity derived from paleo-climate will not (in the end) apply to the future.

Thomas Hertz didn't sleep Tuesday night.
Along with many survivors from the church bus crash near Carrollton, Hertz observed the 25th anniversary of the crash Tuesday by attending a private viewing of the documentary "IMPACT: After the Crash" at the Historic State Theater in Elizabethtown.
The 82-minute documentary took survivors back to that fateful night in 1988. To the parents and families of those who died in the crash, it provided further insight into what their loved ones endured on Interstate 71.
"I just kept seeing my friends every time I would close my eyes," Hertz said in an email. "It was very powerful to me; almost too close on its accuracy."
Karolyn Nunnallee, whose daughter, Patty, 10, was one of 27 killed in the May 14, 1988, crash, said the finished product was "a very emotional and grabbing piece."
"Coming from a victim's perspective, I was very impressed," she said.
"It was artfully done. I know it is an often-used term, but I was blown away by it. I was very happy with the end result."
The documentary, with Harold Dennis, one of the 40 survivors, and Jason Epperson as executive directors, told the tale of the day and the crash's aftermath.
Darrin Jaquess, another survivor, said it was an emotional night that capped a day of events marking the anniversary. He said you could hear sobbing in the theater and see people wiping tears from their eyes.
"I don't think they tried to reach too far into things; just enough to get the picture out," Jaquess said of producers.
He said the film properly showcased the tragedy that resulted when a drunken Larry Mahoney slammed his black pickup truck into the bus while driving the wrong way on I-71.
Jaquess said producers and directors didn't try to "Hollywood" it. Instead, the film depicted the horror of that night and what bad decisions "can do to you and others."
"A lot of people really didn't embrace the idea of doing this documentary," Jaquess said. "After they watched it, I believe it changed their minds."
One of his three sons, Zach, appeared in the documentary portraying one of the children attending the day's events at King's Island.
Nunnallee said a conversation Tuesday with Dennis put the documentary into perspective. She said he told her he didn't know how those who lost children that night were able to move forward.
"These were just kids then but now many of them have children of their own," she said. "It's a full-circle perspective for them."
According the documentary's website, the plan is to screen the film next month and start entering festivals across the country. The film cannot be shown again until after the festival tour because festivals typically do not accept films being shown to the public. Those behind the film hope it garners a distribution deal so the documentary can be shown over many media platforms, according to its website.
Wednesday night's showing at the Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center sold out in 48 hours.

Occasionally a sting to the hand will swell to comical proportions. Sometimes nothing. I like the nitrile because even if I get one it seems it doesn't get too deep. I've actually been stinging myself a lot recently try to get reactions to drop. First one out of winter gave me a Popeye arm for a day.

Ok, for years I've wanted to make a Boba Fett and I finally feel I can do this. I've been looking through threads trying to find the methods that will work best for me (in terms of time and money). So this is my trash can armor so far. It hasn't changed too much since I showed the first pic in the trash can thread but the shoulder bells and butt armor are painted now and my wookie braids are tied up. I'm using the TK409 Bell bicycle light method for the chest display. I haven't added the transparency yet but I'm going to print it out tomorrow so bear that in mind.
So here are my parts so far. Let me know what you all think.
I'm going to try something whacky for the boots, too. Tonight I bought a $17 pair of black rubber boots from Wall*Mart and gray and black fabric. I'm going to try to attach the fabric to the boots using the glue for fabric. I have no idea if this will turn out well or not, but the price was right on the boots and the fabric was on clearance. Wish me luck. Thanks for any feedback.
P.S. Sorry the pictures are blury, I took them with my cell phone.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just to second a previous comment, POR-15 has worded very well for me. I saw a test in Auto Restorer's (?) Magazine, who were as skeptical as I was. They used it (along with some fiberglass matt) on a floor section lacey with rust as a last shot before cutting and welding on a vehicle meant to be a driver. They were amazed afterward that they could bounce on the lacy floor after the POR-15 dried.
I used it on supports on used running boards for my F150 - just wire-brushed the surface rust and applied POR-15 - and it was still shiny with no rust pop-through 3 years later when I sold the truck. I like to prime while the POR-15 is still tacky, beause it dries shiney and is extremely difficult to rough up to offer adhesion for later paint; hard even to scratch with a nail. And, because it is not UV resistant, it should generally be painted. I had a trailer on which I used just POR-15 have the surface deteriorate over 4 years, while the supports under the truck and a brake vacuum booster held up well not exposed to sunlight.
Read the label and follow the warnings. If you close the can without plastic wrap under the cover, you will NOT reopen the can short of destruction. If you keep dipping a brush in the can instead of pouring out what you need, or if you pour left-overs back in the can, the whole can will solidify - looks neat but not useful. Also, I recommend gloves and clothing about which you care little or not at all.
Good luck.
|You'll need to get as much bondo out as possible,ie. all of it. Then you must use a rust converter over the rustout. Use an epoxy primer/sealer, then proceed to finish it.
|SPI epoxy primer is all I use...The best base for any paint..
|I like MARTINSR's solution. He is bout right on the leave it along. My 51 was painted 20 years ago. Very good job in that it has basically laste this long, but it is starting to blister on the panel below the trunk lid and at the bottom of the doors. Am in the same situation you are, knee deep into another project. The little blistering of the paint in spots doesn't really distract from it much. I still enjoy driving it everywhere, and still get lots of compliments, even when I point out that it is starting to rust. Its 62 years old and still looking good. When I wash, wax and shine it up I fret over the bad spots, but don't think I'm ever going to get serious about putting any more money into it. Got a tiny ding in the paint years ago, and tried to buff it out, make it disappear. That caused more trouble than if I had just left it alone. If (when) the rust bubbles start to crack and bleed, then I'll have to do something. probably sell it to somebody wants a nice ride and doesn't want to put much work into it.
|Rust Mort will stop the rust dead in it's tracks. We had a spot on a blazer a year ago that was bare matal and still no rust.
[QUOTE=RatPin;1631875]A couple weeks back I picked up a '59 bel air that had a cheap paint job done about 7 years ago (Earl Shieb). It had some blistering at the bottom of the doors and on the rockers. Now keep in mind I bought this car for a driver and I don/t want to dig into it too deep since I am already up to my elbows in another frame up build. I want to do a quick fix on the areas pictures below. Quick fix meaning no cutting or welding, and yes I know it will be just covering it up to a degreea and I'm sure it will rear it's ugly head again at some point down the road, but for now I just want it smooth and protected as best it can be without adding metal and doing it (properly).
Please lend advice as to what you might think would work best to seal this up for as long as possible. I was thinking to just wire it clean from the outside, put some Metal Ready on it and then skim it over with All Metal or similar product.
Again, I know to most and even to me this seems like doing a hack job, but right now I just want to have it smooth and be able to drive it while I finish my other project. I can do it right at a later date when I have the time and shop space to do so.
Just my two cents but once the rust starts, you'll never stiop it.
If I was trying to cover it, I'd indent the area slightly and skim coat it with filler. Because its in the door, you cannot probibly get to the back of it. Sealing the back of it from air and water using undercoating will slow the decay but never stop it.
the key is encapsulating the area from air and moisture. My fix is Not the correct way but will last for a while.
You really NEED epoxy primer over the bare metal BEFORE any filler I prefer epoxy glue like JB weld to fill the pits....
Ospho does NOT need to be neutralized ,its resistant to water ...
|Sand. Apply "Rust-Mort." Bondo. Primer. Paint. (Be careful it's acid and it turn rust to metal.) No kiddin. It works really good.
One thing that I believe is better than anything here in the rust belt to keep your car from rusting is to keep it clean. Not just the outside of the body--the underside as well. I run my daily drivers through a car wash that also does the underside about once a week in the winter. I have a 2000 Grand Caravan and the underside looks almost new. My dad never washed his (also a 2000) and the underside was so rusty it was almost unbelievable. He needed to replace his brake lines, rear heat tubes, part of the fuel lines and a gas tank strap. All of mine aren't even rusty.
Keeping the drain holes open is very necessary as well. My first car (1964 GTO) had the rocker panels full of water when I bought it (1975) and when I drained them out it looked like someone filled them with top soil. Fortunately the rockers on those cars were galvanized. (the only part in those days)
You've gotten a lot of good options. I'll add just one thing that will maybe keep things in check awhile longer. Any place that you can access the area behind those bubble you should take a look and see if you can see any moisture building up or sitting in contact with the metal.
I've seen door bottoms rust out from the weep holes being blocked. I even had a car once that I kept hearing what I thought was gasoline sloshing around in the tank. I eventually had a look around and discovered the passenger door was about 1/4 full of water! A quick inspection showed thw slotted weep holes were plugged and I ran a hacksaw blade in the slot and water poured out for 10 minutes!
Once any areas that hold water are drained, or weep holes are opened, then you can address the inside. Rust neutralizer on the inside once it's dry, will slow the problem down, and allow whatever patch you do to last longer. After neutralizing, you can paint the area with Rustoleum to keep things from rusting again right away.
Thanks again for the input, although some of these techniques would require just as much time and effort as cutting and welding in new metal, I still appreciate the input.
I think what I am going to try will be:
Expose and clean affected metal on both sides with wire wheel/brush
Clean metal with Metal Ready (similar to ospho)
Wire brush again
Punch in center of heavily pitted spots
Fill those spots with Everglass or Epoxy cement with fiberglass in it, making sure to fill completely
Nub down any riased spots of the glass filler
Lay Glazecoat over entire area and sand to blend
Lay down primer
Lay down paint and blend as best I can
Spray cavity wax to the door's interior panel
Drive it and smile!
One thing that was suggested to me was to use an enamel primer and paint over the cheap Earl Shieb paint. Something like Rustoleum. Any problems with that.
I also have some of this: Metal-2-Metal. Would this product work as well as the everglass or epoxy? I do know the stuff is as hard as nails and does not sand easily. Any money I can save by using stuff I already have will be a plus.
the key is to get the metal clean and get adhesion.
Hi,Just to add what i have learned in the great white north and tons of salt on the roads around me,plus my dad was in the car business 50 years as well.I will tell what worked for me and what i found that had lasted when i opened spots like this to repair them...the key to a repair like this is to get the rust out,there are many rust treatments that are very good,(look for phosoric acid on the contents list but the key is to neutralize it properly or the filler wont stick).When i view his photos,i see many dark rust spots,i would first grind the area,then use a stainless wheel on a 4 or 5 inch hand grinder,then neutralize.use the wire wheel again.after you think its clean, take a sharpened centre punch and hammer it thru the weak spot.You need to open a hole for the filler material to push thru and solidify in place,while slightly depressing the metal add thickness to help the barrier.(you will see a small *** form that when solid will hold the filler in place.Once these rusty areas have been filled with whatever water resistant filler you favour(canadian spelling..lol) you can use any bondo.You need to create a water barrier that will keep in place so more filler is better than less pushed thru.I have some 30 year old repairs that have not bubbled on cars that have survived even though done in this used car fashion.Fiberglass matt and resin works best but a fiberglass filler is ok as long as it is not bondo with fiberglas bits added.Most bondo's hold moisture and thats what started the problem.I have had good luck with brazing up a small rust hole(the factories brazed them til the 70's).Most prople who condemn brazing simply havent learned to neutralize the acids in it.The easiest way to do that is to leave it open to our air a few days and the flux residue will react to the air itself,though you could help it with some moisture,all this is in addition to a thorough cleaning of your braze joint or spot.I do like the adhesive idea though i havent tried it but they did replace brazing with adhesives in car roof attachment.I have had cars from all over North America and it amazes me what will stay in place stuffed into a rust spot in the west or the praries but will fall out in 6 months in the east, which is my world..lol.may i suggest that you fellows do what i do to keep rust at bay..spray them inside and out with used oil..its cheap and works really well,though for my everyday wheels i use a service that cant by law use oil anymore and has a commercial spray that is just ok..but if for most of these minor rust issues a good shot of oil will keep it from advancing too much,just repeat every year..all the best p.s...i was just thinking that about this,starting with a clean slate as this chap is,i would clean the metal i suggested the use the adhesive like the waterproof filler to seal the hole and place the steel patch overtop as was suggested,its all about a waterproof barrier and that should be very easy to do for a first attempt. again all the best,mark trafford.Mark Trafford :: pure voice
I have a suggestion, you could clean out the pits completely and cut a thin piece of sheet metal to cover the area (like 24 ga) then bond it on with 3M 08115 Autobond adhesive. Make certain that you cover the whole piece and get some into the holes. Then skim it with filler. If you do it on clean metal it could last the life of the car.
I've used this stuff quite a bit. (steel to steel; fiberglass to steel) I bonded two pieces of 24 ga together and tried to tear them apart and the metal tore around the bonded area without breaking the bond.
I use this to repair rusted 1/4 pnl edges and door skin edges.
|John long
LOL. I have already admitted to more than I am happy about. I'll bet every one of us made up some of our own rules when we were just starting our love affair with the American Hot Rod. With a 14 dollar a week paycheck a quart of Bondo from the Western Auto was extravagant.
By the way, It takes a good metal man to hammer, dolly, and pick a license plate smooth.

Looks like we'll fair a little better!Although, now that I've become a weather watcher b/c of the bees....somethings just don't make sense and really bother me! According to weather.com, the 10-day forecast shows the Gonzales, LA forecast as follows: Saturday with a high of 53° and a low of 32°...Yet, the same website on it's hourly forecast for the entire day of Saturday never shows the temperature below 38°. :?They show Sunday with a high of 57° and a low of 41°, yet the hourly forecast extending into Sunday morning shows the temperature at 5AM as 33° :?
The Saturday low is actually for Saturday night and the Sunday low is for Sunday night. So the low it shows for Saturday is actually Sunday morning. I see how this can be confusing. I hope this clears it up.
I really don't think it has a time cutoff. It is just saying Saturday night will get to 32. If you click on details for each day on the 10 day forecast page, the low will be for that day's night.
Yep, I dont make the rules i just follow them

A graduate student may not interrupt an academic program to accept employment on academic, administrative, or research staff, or as an hourly employee at MIT, Lincoln Laboratory, or the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, either during the academic year or during the summer, unless the approval of the department head and of the appropriate academic dean has been obtained and unless the work as an employee is not related to the student's thesis research. A thesis release form indicating such approval must be submitted to the Human Resources Department to effect such employment. A graduate student may not include as part of the thesis any material based upon work done while holding an academic or research staff appointment.
Graduate students who hold full time research or teaching assistantships or who receive full support on a fellowship or traineeship are not usually eligible for such employment. A full time (100 percent) teaching assistant or research assistant is defined as 20 hours of work per week. A student who is a US citizen or permanent resident who applies to work, in addition to his or her RA or TA appointment, may be permitted additional compensated employment at MIT for no more than 10 hours per week during the academic year, especially to support student life and learning activities (e.g., staffing the front desk of a residence hall). Consult the Office of the Dean for Graduate Education for approval before undertaking such employment.

text: For repeated triples and quads, we've seen some skaters make the second one in combination and I don't understand why they choose to do that. For example, some skaters do 3A then 3A+2T. That way, if you miss on the second 3A(step out or fall, etc...) and fail to put 2T, you will lose a base valut of 2T and 20% of the base value of 3A for not making it in combination(3A, 3A+SEQ). This may cause you to make another individual jump in combination in order to make up the mistake, then that jump combination will be counted as a 4th combination jump element. If you plan to make the first 3A in combination(3A+2T, 3A), you will have a chance to make the second 3A in combination in case you miss it, but if you plan to make the second one FROM THE BEGINNING(3A, 3A+2T), you can not make it up and lose a lot of points. If you do the secont one in the last half of the program, you will get some extra point, but the difference is not big(only 0.13 if you only put +2T). Unless you're really confident in landing both, I don't think it's worth risking to do.

The first step in being able to card battle is to get 5 cards. These are 5 different cards not 5 cards total, and you may only use 1 non-class card, so if you have more than 1 non-class card, then you must find another card to add to your collection. When gathering cards you want cards that are either High or Low. I will go into the other card attributes later.
Once you have your 5 acceptable card battle cards go into a town or gate area. You may not be near any NPCs or portals.
Type /Card name
*The C in card MUST be capitalized
*name may be whatever you want to appear above your head in the bubble.
once the game starts it will ask either your or your opponent to choose a game mode.
The kind of big guy, with the hair that points up to the sides is High card rules.
High card wins except in the instance of of same type of card played by both people.
*The type is the symbol in the lower left corner
When the same type is played, the rules are flipped for that one turn instead of high card winning low card wins.
The guy wearing the white suit is Low card rules.
Low card wins except in the instance of of same type of card played by both people.
*The type is the symbol in the lower left corner
When the same type is played, the rules are flipped for that one turn instead of low card winning high card wins.
Now for the special rules when same type same number, or different types same numbers are played, when these occurances happen.(except in when it is the exact card played) a new rule comes into effect to determine the winner of the match. There is a number in the lower left corner of the cards, the person with the higher number wins in these cases.
Each Battle has 4 rounds(You can have 10 battles per person, per day)
You can win by:
4 to 0 this is called a perfect game
Any amount of rounds higher than opponent is just a win
And in the event that after 5 cards the rounds are tied, the server will assign each person with a random card, and it will be played with those cards, the winner of that round wins the battle.
After winning.
You are awarded experience depending on the gameplay.
You may get lucky and win additional cards, there are 2 ways to win cards:
A. Random cards, are cards that you just win and the server will add to your inventory.
B. Chance, you will win a card from your opponent, if you want to give the card back is up to you.
There is also a specialty gift section, but I have not happened to cross upon what this does yet, so I can not say as to what it does.
Gameplay Tips.
Use the 3 cards that you can see of your opponent's to your advantage, if you have the same card, as them look at the numbers in the lower left corner of cards with the same type that would be greater than your opponents card that you could play, to defeat their card, and save yours for later.
One of the most important tips is to learn to give up a battle, rather than playing your strongest cards to win all the time(unless you are absolutely sure that you will win) Play a weaker card against their card that will win, then when their don't have their strong card for defense anymore you can play your strong card, and take over, rather than ending up with a draw or gaining just a few points.
Look at your opponents win rate, if you are new, and they have a high win rate, you may want to find someone else to challenge.

Kel-Tec owners only - Would you buy another Kel-Tec?
I have read conflicting information about the guns, and I would like to hear from those that own/ed them. Please share the good, the bad, & the ugly stories.
It seems to me that they can have some feeding issues when new, as well as some accuracy issues. I am also under the impression that the c-service is awesome!
I am not looking for a range gun - something convenient to carry & reliable once it is broken in.
