This is it, soldiers. The day you've been anticipating has finally arrived. Okay, so maybe that's a build up not deserved by the lowly retail version of the Metal Gear Solid 4 Bluetooth headset, but seriously, we've been waiting ages for this thing to ship. Like, so long that the whole MGS4 aura has already come and gone. Those still firmly planted in Snake's posse can choose to prove their fanhood by snagging this thing now for $59.99; if all goes well, it should be headed your way in a matter of business days. Over and out.

I worked mall retail in sporting goods for six years during my college and early adult years. I made a conscious decision about my career choice and I was fully aware that certain seasons, such as back-to-school and the holidays, would mandate longer work hours.
Granted, the Black Friday Frenzy has certainly escalated over the years, but were the employees of big-box retailers really that blind to the industry standards when they agreed to go to work for them?
Retail by its very nature calls for longer than normal hours and somewhat more stout working conditions; standing for long periods of time, handling heavy freight, stocking racks and shelves, security watches, and grueling inventory practices, just to name a few. Lastly, let us not forget the "impossible-to-please" consumer and all the associated pleasures of serving that particular portion of the proverbial public.
While it is unfortunate for the infuriated employees, that their profession is both consumer and profit-driven, it is what it is; the retail-public writes their paycheck and will make no apologies for it.
Though our economic climate has caused such "retail-hardships" that even the most profitable big-dogs consider it necessary to create these additional and unpleasant hours, again - these employees made a conscious decision to work for them. If they are truly so disgruntled with their working conditions, there is another choice that they can entertain.
While all of the media hoop-la is focused on the disgruntled, I feel pretty safe in assuming that there is a healthy base of employees who are grateful for their jobs as well as the opportunity to work additional hours.
There are certainly special incentives that these big-box terrors could offer to their employees in an effort to sweeten the deal, thereby taking more of an offensive-recruiting approach. Such an approach might actually attract those employees who are more willing and appreciative to work the holiday rush. Perhaps this approach actually did occur. Just don't expect the mainstream media to disclose that particular detail as it dulls the "story".
These employees that are organizing and striking should not blame their big box bully employer entirely; they should be more accepting of the circumstances surrounding their career choice. They should also recognize that there is a consumer-culprit driving this dollar-dash as well!
Chalk it all up to consumer mania gone mad over deals and steals. We all see the horror stories on the news of children trampled, shoppers stun-gunned, and my-toy brawls; it's absolutely and certifiably NUTS! But these risks won't deter the deal-seeking shopper that is addicted to the adrenalized anticipation of the open door dash into retail oblivion. They will be front and center, lined and just dined, chomping at the bit for the race-gate to finally open.
So what's a shopper to do when the stores open their doors even earlier than the year before?
Your guess is as good as mine!

Senior League baseball demands the very best of its players, so we supply them with the very best bat technology on the market. Developed using patented technology exclusive to Louisville Slugger products, our Senior League bats deliver a larger sweet spot, lighter swing weight and a better feel with every swing.
Discover the performance technology that goes into our Senior League bats.
Built with advanced technology unique to Louisville Slugger bats, the Attack represents the reinvention of the Louisville Slugger line. Its composite barrel technology and two-piece construction give the Attack a lighter swing weight, dramatically reduced vibration and overall better feel.
The Vertex's hybrid LS-2X Composite and AC21 Scandium Alloy design uses thinner high-strength and lightweight graphite fibers to create optimal performance and added stiffness and durability. The Vertex's stiff handle gives your swing maximum trampoline effect and, ultimately, greater performance.
The Catalyst's C1C Composite construction is layered with toughened epoxy resin to make it not only a high-performing bat, but an extremely durable one as well. The Catalyst is topped off with the patented Louisville Slugger end cap that dampens vibration and traps that energy in the barrel to create explosive bat-to-ball contact.
The Assault is the most formidable one-piece bat in baseball. Made with super-strong ST+20 alloy, the strongest alloy available in baseball today, the Assault delivers the right mix of undeniable power and a lighter swing weight.
Every year, the Warrior is tested in battle and proves itself worthy. Its one-piece frame is constructed using Louisville Slugger's own 7050 alloy, providing players with a solid combination of performance and durability.

With Republicans and Democrats largely agreeing that Republican candidate Mitt Romney won the first presidential debate last week, there is a new piece of news that could soften the perceived blow to President Barack Obama's campaign.
The U.S. jobless rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, dropping below 8 percent for the first time since Obama moved in to the White House.
The Boston Globe reported that the news could give the Obama camp a boost; it's the same rate as January 2009, when the president took office.
In the months after the inauguration, the rate increased and topped 8 percent for 43 straight months. In August, it was 8.1 percent.
The jobless rate is determined through a government survey of 60,000 households. The Globe reported that while many of the jobs added last month were part-time jobs, the country could be growing jobs at a faster pace.
What do you make of the news? Do you believe this is a positive for the sitting president? How will it affect your vote? Tell us in the comments.

It stands to reason that people, including politicians, are much more likely to respond to a crisis than a mere problem.
A whiff of smoke in the kitchen won't cause anyone to run screaming from the house, but a wall full of flames almost certainly will.
Our political system seems unable to respond to problems unless they can be portrayed in house-on-fire terms.
Witness the postal crisis, the national debt crisis and the student loan crisis — once avoidable problems ultimately turned crises.
Which likely explains Gov. Paul LePage's regular forays into exaggeration and hyperbole.
Most recently the governor said Maine students are looked down upon across the country because they are poorly educated.
"I don't care where you go in this country. If you come from Maine you're looked down upon," the governor said during a July 25 press conference during which he outlined several educational initiatives.
"Twenty years ago, if you came from Maine, they couldn't wait to get you into their school," the governor said. Now, at least according to the governor, the opposite is true.
All of which must have struck people who travel as odd, having perhaps never heard anything like that from a single person "from away."
Pressed the next day on how he knew that to be fact, the governor's spokesperson, Adrienne Bennett, explained that the governor did not have research on the subject but was drawing on his own experience.
"He is a businessman. It's from his life experience," Bennett told the Bangor Daily News. "While it's anecdotal, he believes it."
While a career in business may have left the governor with many important experiences, regular contact with college admission directors in other states is probably not among them.
To emphasize his point, the governor added that Maine students need to take a special test to be admitted to the College of William and Mary, an excellent school that is part of the public university system in Virginia.
A simple telephone call found that statement to be untrue; the school has no special test for Maine students. The governor was merely repeating something he had heard.
Bennett, ever resourceful in explaining the governor's gaffes, was forced to resort to his good intentions. "It's clear that the governor's intentions are in the students' best interest," she said.
The governor was fired up on the day of the press conference by a recent Harvard study ranking Maine 40th among 41 states for its rate of improvement on standardized tests.
That's a serious problem, and we agreed with the governor in an editorial July 19 that the state's investment in educational improvement was paying "pathetic" returns.
But the governor also failed to note that the test scores of Maine students are still high compared to most states.
The governor's most egregious exaggeration came in December when he said a member of Forbes magazine's staff had told him the state could improve its business climate by cutting its welfare programs.
Contacted by the Sun Journal, the Forbes magazine writer acknowledged he had talked to someone in the LePage administration but had told them nothing of the sort.
At the time, the governor was in the middle of a controversial attempt to cut welfare expenses. Democrats made some credible complaints that his administration was even withholding financial information to heighten the crisis.
The governor may find exaggeration a useful political tool, but it is neither ethical nor responsible for making sound public policy or informing the public.
Bad things, in fact, can happen when manufactured evidence is used to stampede politicians into making quick-fire decisions. Consider the way groundless and exaggerated evidence was used to create the sense of immediate crisis that led to the war in Iraq.
Bad information is always a poor basis for sound policy. Anecdotes and impressions may be interesting, but they are too often dead wrong.

All the Cheddars produced by members of the West Country group have been awarded the prestigious Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, alongside Parma Ham from Italy and Champagne from France.
Cheddar cheese is made all over the world, but when it comes to great Farmhouse Cheddar there is no substitute for the real thing – cheese made on farms in the West Country according to the region's traditional methods with milk from the region's cows. The EU PDO regulations enshrine these features and are what make our Cheddars taste so special.
The PDO regulations protect the names of traditional foods in order to define their authenticity and preserve their place of origin, traditional methods of production and essential ingredients. West Country Farmhouse Cheddar is one of a small and exclusive list of British foods protected in this way.
Any food of PDO status must undergo an ongoing process of rigorous auditing. Cheese can only be called 'West Country Farmhouse Cheddar' if:
In order to retain our PDO status we must also adhere to the very highest standards of food production as set out in statutes such as the Food Safety Act, Food Safety Regulations, Dairy Products Regulations and Food Labelling Regulations.
The PDO symbol is a sign of great taste and your guarantee of quality. PDO status is confirmation of the care and attention to detail that we invest in each and every cheese we make.
After last years washout , the sun shone brightly on The Countess of Wessex as she attended the PDO lunch and presented Parkham farms with cups for both the reserve champion cheese and best PDO West Country Farmhouse cheddar. The show was a triumph for our other farmhouse cheesemakers too with a total of 40 medals and 7 special awards, just rewards for all the care and craftsmanship that goes into all our handmade cheeses.
West Country Farmhouse Cheesemakers sing their souls out for Children In Need

Sky: No Limits!
It has been a while since I last blogged my progress with my flight training. I did a lot of training in the month of July including simulated instrument training and finishing up my cross country flight requirements. Also, my CFI and I did PTS prep for about three hours.
The checkride was set for July 29, 2009. I felt very ready for it. However, I will say that I was nervous about the oral portion. As a result, the oral portion of the PTS was the most difficult part, but I managed to prove my knowledge of the flight rules according to the FAR. The in-flight portion of my checkride was easy because I knew my skill level was higher than average for a student pilot. As soon as the examiner and I landed for completion of the checkride, the examiner immediately wrote a note as I parked the airplane in big letters, "YOU PASSED!"
Thus, I am proud to announce that I earned my Private Pilot Certificate! It was a challenge overcomer and dream come true for me that day. It will be a day I will never forget. I have always wanted to be at the controls of an aircraft; ever since I was little when I watched airplanes take off and land at airports. A day after I passed the checkride, I took my girlfriend up in the air for the first time. It was such a good flight to Chehalem Airpark (0S5). We went there for a dinner picnic at the airport where it was surrounded with trees and picnic tables. It was very nice and a good experience for both of us. I am excited to be able to fly in the Northwest with my family and friends. In fact, my dad and a couple of friends let me fly them around in the 172 last month. It sure feels good to have people trust me as I am the pilot in command. Not just pilot in command, but also because I am Deaf. I do not care if I can hear or not, all I care is that I can prove to people and the FAA that I can do anything and be safe. The next step for my flying endeavors will be IFR training and tailwheel training. I want to get as many ratings and certifications as possible, so I am taking it one step at a time. Instrument rating is next. Also, I met a CFI who knows sign language and is willing to train and sign me off for tailwheel flying. I am looking forward to it as I start soon. This is all for now. I will keep you updated on my progress and accomplishments. Thank you!
The picture above was after the checkride. Tom, the examiner, on the left and Wayne, my CFI, on the right.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 57 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by TomTom Not for people who are trim. Arm and leg holes are designed for "larger" individuals. If you are average to skinny you will not get a tight seal around the openings and the suit will be cold as water rushes in and out. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by arquijote great protection but not a swim suit I bought this no knowing the difference and i found it to be a great wet suit for protection but no appropriate for swimming. Easy transaction online a good shipping time July 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by anthony good for price I decided to buy one after reading the reviews and just recently got back into swimming on my off time. this is the first time i bought and used a wetsuit so i wasn't sure. i bought a small since i'm 5' 7" and 138lbs. the fit was good and when i used it for the first time i realized it was worth it for the price and the quality. July 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by ANOM DBX Mens Shorty Spring Wetsuit Good Product used for June dive in Bermuda. Had to exchange an XL for an XXL at local store because upper torso portion of suit runs small. On line order & delivery process were smooth and efficient. Store personnel also conducted exchange of online order as if item was purchased in store. June 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by David great product great product, fast delivery and good customer service June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Butterfly Guy Worked well in open water swim! I looked for reviews from people who did open water and triathlon swims, and all of them were satisfied with this wetsuit and said it performed well for them, so I took a chance. I couldn't see spending two or three hundred for a suit since I'm not looking to compete at high level. This one was JUST the thing I needed! I couldn't turn down the $50 price, and hear that it may be on sale in the fall! Watch for that! I swim both freestyle and butterfly in open water events (sometimes butterfly exclusively), and had no problem with either stroke while wearing this. The event I was in and my practice river swims were in water 68-72 degrees which caused many people to drop out, but after the initial trickle of water down my spine, the suit kept biceps to knees comfortable and flexible throughout my swim. Unlike my friend struggling to put on his full leg wetsuit, this shorty is a breeze to get in and out of without struggle. I added Bodyglide at the openings out of habit, but I'm not sure I even needed to do that. After the swim while showering at home, I rinsed it off and wrapped it in my own towel after I dried off, and carried it to a nice spot to drip and dry for the next time. I'm loving this suit. NEVER RAISE THE PRICE PLEASE! June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by SHADES Great Fit Feels just right. First wetsuit for San Diego Beach and its a great brand. June 4, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by mo nice wetsuit for the price never owned a wetsuit before, didn't know what to expect. I am training for my first triathalon and needed to get some swimming in cold lake water.
