Grover Norquist, the influential conservative activist, recently made some very frank and sobering remarks about the U.S. military budget. Unlike many conservatives, Mr. Norquist understands that American national security interests are not served by the interventionist foreign policy mindset that has dominated both political parties in recent decades. He also understands that there is nothing "conservative" about incurring trillions of dollars in debt to engage in hopeless nation building exercises overseas.
Speaking at the Center for the National interest last week, Norquist stated that "We can afford to have an adequate national defense which keeps us free and safe and keeps everybody afraid to throw a punch at us, as long as we don't make some of the decisions that previous administrations have, which is to over extend ourselves overseas and think we can run foreign governments."
He continued: "Bush decided to be the mayor of Baghdad rather than the president of the United States. He decided to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan rather than reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That had tremendous consequences… Richard Nixon said that America's national defense needs are set in Moscow, meaning that we wouldn't have to spend so much if they weren't shooting at us. The guys who followed didn't notice that the Soviet Union disappeared."
When a prominent DC conservative like Grover Norquist makes such bold statements, it shows that public support for a truly conservative foreign policy is growing. The American people simply cannot stomach more wars and more debt, especially with our domestic economy in tatters.
The American people should reject the hype about so called defense "cuts" from both side of the political spectrum. When the Obama administration calls for an 18% increase in 2013 military spending, those who propose a 20% increase portray this as a reduction!
Even the supposedly draconian cuts called for in the "sequestration" budget bill would keep military spending at 2006 levels when adjusted for inflation, which is about as high in terms of GDP as during World War II. It's also more than the top 13 foreign countries spend on defense combined. Furthermore, sequestration only cuts military spending for one year after taking effect. In future years Congress is free to reinstate higher military spending levels– so under sequestration the most drastic case would mean spending $5.2 trillion instead of $5.7 trillion over the next decade.
Is there any amount of money that would satisfy the Pentagon hawks? Even if we were to slash our military budget in half, America easily would remain the world's dominant military power. Our problems don't result from a lack of spending. They result from a lack of vision and a profound misunderstanding of the single biggest threat to every American man, woman, and child: the federal debt.

In late April, developer Steven Dubb closed on a deal to purchase the 14 remaining lots at the 42-acre Highlands Club at Aquebogue on Sound Avenue.
Now, after reconfiguring and meticulously staging the site's two model homes, the rest of the lots are ready to be sold. (more…)
The Riverhead school board is expected to vote Tuesday night on a $651,000 land deal to sell district-owned property in Aquebogue to Northeast Farm, according to the meeting's agenda.
The feed silos at the Crescent Duck Farm in Aquebogue are coming down.
The structures were built shortly after World War II by Purina to provide feed for various duck farms in the area, according to Lloyd Corwin.
Feed was delivered by rail at the time, he said. But over time, the Purina sign simply fell off the silo.
"We can't remember when it came down," said his son Jeff.
"The silos haven't been used since the early 1960s and they've been slowly falling down," said Doug, another of Lloyd's sons, who is now president of Crescent Duck Farm.
The silos were further damaged in Hurricane Sandy, he said.
The silos aren't coming down implosion-stye but rather, piece by piece by the Corwins.
It had heavy motors and gear boxes at the top of it that presented a danger as the structures weakened, and it has a feed elevator in the middle. Those had been removed by Wednesday morning.
Doug Corwin said they've had a demolition permit for more than a year and finally decided to begin taking the silos down.
"I hate to see it go, but I don't want to see anybody get hurt," Doug Corwin said.
An Aquebogue man said an armed burglar broke into his window early this morning and stole $8 in cash from his wallet.
The victim, a Zion Street resident, said that about 4:40 a.m., someone opened his bedroom window, reached inside his front pants pocket, took the money and displayed "some sort of dark colored handgun before fleeing the area in an unknown direction."
Police are looking for any information anyone may have about the incident. Those who may have seen something can call Detective Hobson at 631-727-4500, ext. 377.
Brett Chizever of Aquebogue has been voted Best Actor in a Musical in the 2013 BroadwayWorld Long Island Awards. (more…)
A sweet Valentine's Day tradition took center stage at the town's Senior Center in Aquebogue during the fourth annual father-daughter dance Saturday night.
The Jamesport Meeting House is extremely pleased to announce that the 2014 season will begin with a performance by the Cassatt String Quartet on March 1 at 7:30 p.m. The program will feature the Dmitri Shostakovich Quartet No. 8, the Maurice Ravel String Quartet and Antonin Dvorak's Cypresses.

In July 2002, BEA, IBM, and Microsoft released a trio of specifications designed to support business transactions over Web services. These specifications - BPEL4WS, WS-Transaction, and WS-Coordination - together form the bedrock for reliably choreographing Web services-based applications, providing business process management, transactional integrity, and generic coordination facilities respectively.
This article introduces the underlying concepts of Web Services Coordination, and shows how a generic coordination framework can be used to provide the foundations for higher-level business processes. In future articles, we will demonstrate how coordination allows us to move up the Web services stack to encompass WS-Transaction and on to BPEL4WS.
In general terms, coordination is the act of one entity (known as the coordinator) disseminating information to a number of participants for some domain-specific reason. This reason could be in order to reach consensus on a decision like a distributed transaction protocol, or simply to guarantee that all participants obtain a specific message, as occurs in a reliable multicast environment. When parties are being coordinated, information known as the coordination context is propagated to tie together operations that are logically part of the same coordinated work or activity. This context information may flow with normal application messages, or may be an explicit part of a message exchange and is specific to the type of coordination being performed. For example, a security coordination service will propagate differently formed contexts than a transaction coordinator.
Despite the fact that there are many types of distributed applications that require coordination, it will be no surprise to learn that each domain typically uses a different coordination protocol. In transactions, for example, OASIS Business Transactions Protocol and Object Management Group's Object Transaction Service are solutions to specific problem domains that are not applicable to others since they are based on different architectural styles.
Given the domain-specific nature of these protocols (i.e., loosely coupled transactional Web services and tightly coupled transactional CORBA objects) there is no way to provide a universal solution without jeopardizing efficiency and scalability in each individual domain; and not everyone wants to (or can afford to) have a full-blown transaction processing system in order to do coordination. However, both of these protocols have the underlying requirement for propagating contextual information to participants, and therefore it would make some sense if that mechanism could be made generic, and thus reused. On closer examination, we find that even solely within the Web services domain we encounter situations where coordination is a requirement of several different types of problem domain, such as workflow management and transaction processing, but where the overall models are very different yet that same requirement for coordination is still present.
The fundamental idea underpinning WS-Coordination is that there is indeed a generic need for propagating context information in a Web services environment, which is a shared requirement irrespective of the applications being executed. The WS-Coordination specification defines a framework that allows different coordination protocols to be plugged in to coordinate work between clients, services, and participants (see Figure 1). The WS-Coordination specification talks in terms of activities, which are distributed units of work involving one or more parties (which may be services, components, or even objects). At this level, an activity is minimally specified and is simply created, made to run, and then completed.
In Figure 1, we suggest that the framework is useful for propagating security, workflow, or replication contexts, though this is by no means an exhaustive list. Nonetheless, whatever coordination protocol is used, and in whatever domain it is deployed, the same generic requirements are present:
The first three points are directly the concern of WS-Coordination, while the fourth is the responsibility of a third-party entity, usually the client application that controls the application as a whole. These four roles and their interrelationships are shown in Figure 2.
The WS-Coordination framework exposes an Activation Service that supports the creation of coordinators for specific protocols and their associated contexts. The process of invoking an activation service is done asynchronously, so the specification defines both the interface of the activation service itself, and that of the invoking service, so that the activation service can call back to deliver the results of the activation - namely a context that identifies the protocol type and coordinator location. These interfaces are presented in Listing 1, where the activation service has a one-way operation that expects to receive a CreateCoordinationContext message, and correspondingly the service that sent the CreateCoordinationContext message expects to be called back with a CreateCoordination ContextResponse message, or informed of a problem via an Error message.
Once a coordinator has been instantiated and a corresponding context created by the activation service, a Registration Service is created and exposed. This service allows participants to register to receive protocol messages associated with a particular coordinator. Like the activation service, the registration service assumes asynchronous communication and so specifies WSDL for both registration service and registration requester (see Listing 2).
When a participant is registered with a coordinator through the registration service, it receives messages that the coordinator sends (for example, "prepare to complete" and "complete" messages if a two-phase protocol is used); where the coordinator's protocol supports it, participants can also send messages back to the coordinator.
The role of terminator is generally played by the client application, which at an appropriate point will ask the coordinator to perform its particular coordination function with any registered participants - to drive the protocol through to its completion. On completion, the client application may be informed of an outcome for the activity, which may vary from simple succeeded/ failed notification through to complex structured data detailing the activity's status.
The context is critical to coordination since it contains the information necessary for services to participate in the protocol. It provides the glue to bind all of the application's constituent Web services together into a single coordinated application whole. Since WS-Coordination is a generic coordination framework, contexts have to be tailored to meet the needs of specific coordination protocols that are plugged into the framework. The format of a WS-Coordination context is specifically designed to be third-party extensible and its contents are as follows:
While the first three points are common sense, the fourth is somewhat more interesting. Since WS-Coordination is generic, it is of very little use to applications without augmentation, and this is reflected in the part of the WS-Coordination XML schema for contexts. In Listing 3, the schema states that a context consists of a URI that uniquely identifies the type of coordination that is required (xs:anyURI), an endpoint where participants to be coordinated can be registered (wsu:PortReferenceType), and an extensibility element designed to carry specific coordination protocol context payload (xs:any), which can carry arbitrary XML payload. (Note: This type also inherits some useful features from its parent in the form of a time-to-live value and an identifier.)
Coordinating Business Processes on the Web
To show WS-Coordination in action, we'll consider a centralized sign-on service that enables a client application to authenticate once, and then use given credentials to access a number of Web services, and to de-authenticate from the system with a single operation irrespective of the number of Web services that are invoked. (Note: It's important to note that although the coordination strategy outlined here is reasonable enough, the patter as a whole isn't industrial strength since we avoid clouding the coordination issues by drawing on other useful technologies such as XML encryption and XML signature, which a truly trustworthy implementation would utilize. You should remember while following this example through that a real implementation would draw heavily on security standards like XML-encryption to provide the necessary privacy and XML digital signatures to provide authenticity.) The initial coordination pattern for this scenario is captured in Figure 3.
Here we see the initial stages of the application. The client application locates an activation service and sends it a message asking for the creation of a security coordinator and a corresponding security context, passing appropriate user credentials as part of the activation process as shown in Listing 4.
Assuming that a security coordination service has been registered with the coordination framework, a coordinator is created (and exposed as a registration service) and a context like that in Listing 4 is duly returned to the client application as part of the CreateCoordinationContextResponse message.
The client application interacts with its component Web services sending and receiving messages as normal, with the exception that it embeds the coordination context (which carries the security information) in a SOAP header block in its messages to provide authenticity credentials for those services that are invoked.
Let's assume that a service understands the protocol messages associated with our simple centralized sign-on service, and furthermore hasn't registered a participant previously. Once the service receives a SOAP message containing a security context header (see Listing 5), it registers a participant with the coordinator using the details provided in the context (via the WS-Coordination registration service URI, for example). This registration operation occurs every time a service receives a particular context for the first time, which ensures that all services register participants within the activity.
When the client decides to terminate its session and log out of the services it has been using, it sends a completion message to the coordinator; in turn, the coordinator informs each registered participant to revoke the privileges for the client application, preventing it from using their corresponding services. Any subsequent calls by the client to that service with the same context will result in the service being unable to register a participant since the context details will no longer resolve to a live coordinator to register with (see Figure 4).
At some point, the client application finishes its work and must run the completion protocol to force its own system-wide logoff. To do this, it sends a security protocol logoff message to the security coordinator. This message is entirely out-of-scope of WS-Coordination and is instead defined by the specification of our security protocol which plugs in to the WS-Coordination framework. The completion message is shown in Listing 6.
In response to receiving this message, the security coordinator informs each of its registered participants to terminate the user's current session. To do this, it sends each of the participants a signOut message to which they respond with a signedOut message, confirming that the user is no longer authenticated with that particular participant's associated service. The pertinent parts of the signOut and signedOut messages are shown in Listing 7.
Once a signedOut message has been received from each of the enrolled participants, it can report back to the client application that its session has been ended. The final message in our WS-Coordination protocol is the loggedOut response message from the security coordination to the client (see Listing 8).
Advanced Usage Scenarios
In our security coordination example, the overall architecture is relatively static and known in advance of the coordination. However, it may be that in a business-to-business scenario we would like the ability to coordinate arbitrary groups of Web services as part of a single, logical, coordinated application. WS-Coordination supports this through a scheme known as interposition.
Interposition is a way of creating a hierarchy of coordinators, each of which looks like a simple participant to coordinators higher up the coordination tree, yet acts just like a normal coordinator for participants lower down the tree. Coordinators become registered within this hierarchy if the client application sends a CreateCoordination Context message to an activation service along with a valid context. When the receiving activation service creates the new context (and associated coordinator/registration service), it uses the original context to determine the endpoint of its superior coordinator (a.k.a. registration service) and enrolls the new coordinator with it.
In Figure 5 we see a typical interposed coordinator arrangement spanning three different enterprises using two different coordination protocols. This arrangement is arrived at through a client application creating a top-level context and then invoking Web services within the bounds of its partner enterprises. In the noninterposed case, upon first receipt of a context embedded in a SOAP header a service registers a participant with the coordinator identified by the context. However, in this situation, for reasons such as security or trustworthiness, the service enrolls its own coordinator by sending an activation message loaded with the top-level context to a local activation service, and then registers with the newly created local coordinator. (Note: By using ts own coordinator, the service or domain in which it resides only exposes the coordinator to the superior and not the individual participants. This may be useful in restricting the amount of information that can flow out of the domain and hence be available to potentially upotentially unsecure or untrusted individuals/services.)
Having received a context with an activation message, the newly created coordinator duly registers itself with the registration service that the context advertises. The top-level coordinator is unaware of this arrangement since it sees the interposed coordinator as a participant, while the local participants are coordinated by their own local coordinator, which confers the following advantages:
In Figure 5 Enterprise A uses the same coordination protocol as the top-level coordinator. In this case, Enterprise A's coordinator coordinates local participants according to the same protocol as the top-level. However, since only the outcome of the local coordination needs to be sent over the Internet to the top-level coordinator, and not the more abundant coordination protocol messages, this approach is performance-optimized, compared to registering Enterprise A's participants directly with the top-level coordinator.
For Enterprise B and Enterprise C, the same performance benefit exists, although the real focus of coordinating these participants is the fact that they are coordinated with different protocols that suit the particular enterprise's needs and not necessarily the same coordination protocol used at the top level. Since the local coordinator for each enterprise is effectively "bilingual" in the coordination protocols they understand (knowing both the participant aspects of the top-level coordination protocol and the coordinator aspects of their own internal coordination protocols), different coordination domains can easily be bridged without adding complexity to the overall architecture.
WS-Coordination looks set to become the adopted standard for activity coordination on the Web. Out of the box, WS-Coordination provides only activity and registration services, and is extended through protocol plug-ins that provide domain-specific coordination facilities. In addition to its generic nature, the WS-Coordination model also scales efficiently via interposed coordination, which allows arbitrary collections of Web services to coordinate their operation in a straightforward and scalable manner.
Though WS-Coordination is generically useful, at the time of this writing only one protocol that leverages WS-Coordination has been made public: WS-Transaction We'll look at this protocol in our next article.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

How do we secure those vast data infrastructures and safe-keep the privacy of sensitive information?

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, will discuss how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

The Omaha alumni chapter of the University of Missouri is working to establish a $2 million endowment for a sustained research program at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium.
The focus of the research would be preservation of tigers, which, of course, salutes the Missouri mascot. Alums say the goal is to raise awareness of the research facility at the zoo and to lure more University of Missouri School of Veterinary Medicine interns to exotic animal research.

ABSTRACT: In this case, an adolescent patient presented with multiple, asymptomatic ulcerated lesions- resembling aphthous ulcerations- located in the oral cavity. The etiology of these lesions appeared to be associated with soft tissue irritants found in the patient's toothpaste. This report highlights the need to rule out known oral irritants in dentifrices for patients who present with oral ulcerations.The Journal of clinical pediatric dentistry 01/2013; 38(1):75-8. · 0.34 Impact Factor
Article: Topical tacrolimus with custom trays in the treatment of severe oral chronic graft-versus-host disease refractory to a potent topical steroid therapy: a case report.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The authors present a case demonstrating the success of topical tacrolimus (TAC) therapy with custom trays in the treatment of oral chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). The 41-year-old male patient initially responded to topical steroid therapy (clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment) applied both topically and with flexible carrier trays, but later became refractory to this potent topical agent. Topical TAC therapy with flexible carrier trays and systemic prednisone therapy was initiated. RESULTS: The patient responded favorably with the change to topical TAC therapy with custom trays (and oral prednisone). His oral cGVHD lesions resolved within a period of 4 weeks. The improvement has remained stable at 14 months of follow-up. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: This is the first case reported with regard to the successful resolution of steroid recalcitrant cGVHD successfully treated with topical TAC with custom trays.Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology and oral radiology. 10/2012;

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The growth in the use of anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) agents for treatment of inflammatory conditions has led to increased recognition of the side effects associated with this class of drugs. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a case of a patient who developed erythema multiforme (EM) major with characteristic oral and cutaneous lesions following treatment with the anti-TNF-α medication infliximab therapy for Crohn's disease (CD). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of infliximab-induced EM secondary to the treatment of CD. It is important for dental clinicians evaluating patients using anti-TNF-α agents to be aware of this possible complication.Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology and oral radiology. 10/2012;
Article: Orofacial pain due to trigeminal autonomic cephalgia with features of short-lasting neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing: a case report.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a case of a 64-year-old woman with a presumptive diagnosis of short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome with telangiectasia. Dental procedures were not successful in alleviating the condition. The patient's symptoms of short unilateral severe pain episodes abated after geographic relocation, although orofacial pain continued. Sphenoid sinus surgery further decreased the patient's chronic pain complaints. The patient's current pain condition is controlled with gabapentin therapy. Diagnostic, etiologic, and therapeutic issues related to SUNCT syndrome are discussed. This case represents the first case report of trigeminal autonomic cephalgia with SUNCT syndrome-like features illustrating possible problematic dental therapies. It is only the third SUNCT case report in the dental literature, and the third case reporting a correlation between SUNCT syndrome and sinusitis.Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology and oral radiology. 07/2012; 114(4):e13-9.

Article: Evidenced-based dentistry versus biased-based evaluation of the evidence: the disregard syndrome and the true believer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is important for clinicians, educators, and researchers to be able to evaluate journal articles for bias. Authors may exhibit a bias against a particular therapeutic or procedure and present arguments supporting their individual viewpoint while neglecting literature that supports the opposing viewpoint. Failure to cite literature supporting the opposing viewpoint is referred to as the 'disregard syndrome." Individuals who accept a particular viewpoint and deny evident data to the contrary may be referred to as "True Believers." It is important for clinicians, educators, and researchers to evaluate the literature fairly. It is especially important for editors and journal reviewers to fairly evaluate manuscript submissions with a critical eye and for the readers of the literature to be aware of unreasonable bias.The Journal of the American College of Dentists 01/2010; 77(4):35-40.
Article: Cutaneous sinus tracts (or emerging sinus tracts) of odontogenic origin: a report of 3 cases.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three cases are presented in which patients presented with either cutaneous swelling or cutaneous sinus tracts of odontogenic origin. A cutaneous sinus tract of odontogenic origin is a pathway through the alveolar bone that typically begins at the apex of an infected tooth or of an infected portion of the dental alveolus and empties infected material (pus) through the skin. Where as the more common finding of an oral fistula is a pathway from the apical periodontal area of a tooth to the surface of the oral mucous membrane, permitting the discharge of suppurative material. Diagnosis, etiology and treatment are discussed with reference to patient history, clinical examinations, imaging, and treatment perspectives.Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dentistry. 01/2010; 2:63-7.

It might be a pain to spend dil, but I think I like it this way. Now I can actually earn some decent Z if that is what I want to do with my dil.
Dilithium is capped at 8k per day. Long term this actually ends up being a big amount...HOWEVER
You now must split that 8k not one not two not three but FOUR ways and potentially even MORE as we progress.
1: Starbase construction. Basic missions, and the actual upgrades themselves. Not including those 200k drains on dilithium for no benefit whatsoever.
2: Embassy Construction and Missions. These are kinda going to be required...and guarntee you its gonna take a LOT of dilithium to make a reallity.
3: Personal Reputation: We've heard totals of 100k DILITHIUM for getting what you want out of these STF's? (for one item?) That's 13 days refining assuming you're not doing 1, 2, or my next.
4: Z-store requisition. I'm a player who if he had money would probably have spent it on this game. I dont. Not for awhile yet. So i take any chance i can to get Z points or did till the season 7 stuff got started up.
A player at this point now has to choose between these four. Helping his Fleet, Helping Himself, or Getting something neat for his character. The way this is going (assuming things dont really change) It feels like a straight up money grab. If this ends up being the case. Bye bye cryptic. GW 2 is a hell of a lot better for the cash. And i'm falling back in love with Rift. This Trekkie knows a screwjob when he sees it.

I WAS A ""DIRT WORKER"" i made people laugh for money!!!
AUTHOR: Rob.beau - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 11, 2008POSTED: Saturday, October 11, 2008
A MAG crew consists of Hard Knock individuals. Whether you just got out of Juvi,or rebelling against your parents!!
This is how THE classification,and the actual Model of the CREW happens.
1ST: if your a rich boy or girl,or can pull it off,,you will work the Upper Class apts or homes, . And if you are good looking and suave you can be a STEMMER!(work the malls and busy parking lots near ATMs.
2ND: you may be a little more at home talking to people at home,so we would call you a DOOR KNOCKER,which is where you can relax ,have a beer,or a shag if the timings right.
3RD:Is for the DIRT worker,as in I will work anything,from trailer parks to non english speaking communities,and finding any way possible to get 25$ from them for a subscription. Electric Bill,Immigration,BEER,etc!!
THE CREW is based on competition,and if any of you weak asses ever got mentioned in a morning meeting in WEST PALM ,then you would know the life changing effect that it has on you.Granted I was beat up a few times, had to hitch hike across country alot for being arrested and having to catch up with the CREW,but thats what made me what i am today.Of course if you had a home to fall back on,well then you wouldnt go through with the boot camp,but those who did,and as i remember on my crew,#044,run by tim B,were alot of rich kids who wanted there freedom, and 10 sales a day gave that to ANYONE!!! I hated it at first,I had Long Hair and started in the northeast,I was ready to go after 3 days,but because I had no place to go I stuck with it,during winter!! Eventually I caught on,and earned respect,and earned responsibilities,I became a man,and with that I traveled the U.S. 6 times.If I havent been to your door,I have been around it!!
The only difference with me was I was a jokester,as in I made you laugh and give me a beer before you bought!!Even if you didnt get the mag,i made it worth your while!!Most of the time you dont get your mag because we will take a two year subscription and turn it into 2 one Year subscriptions for quota!! And also to gain the respect of others with most sales!!
Anyway,the point is,not everyone can work 9 to 5!! Think of a MAG CREW as if it were a circus!! As in if you dont have a talent,you better develop one or your out!!
Its only as bad as you make it,and well the gift is wealth and financial freedom!!
As the black guy said in the video,,you can sell door to door you can sell anything,anywhere!!!
Im a telephone jockey now in asia, I went from 30$ to 30,000$!!!

HRC On the Ground in Illinois
January 31, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Lynne Bowman, HRC Regional Field Director
I've spent this week on the ground in Chicago working with the Illinois Unites for Marriage field team. The Religious Freedom and Marriage Equality act has been introduced in both the House and the Senate.
Legislators return to Springfield next week and we expect the bill to be taken up for consideration early in the Session.
In order to make sure we're ready and have the votes when the question is called, the coalition has grown the ground game to encourage Illinoisans in select districts to contact their legislator.
HRC is proud to have staff on the ground and be a contributing member to the Illinois Unites for Marriage coalition. Working together with partners like Equality Illinois, ACLU, Lambda Legal and other progressive organizations, we know we will win.

US protests Chinese military action
The Obama administration on Friday accused a Chinese fighter jet of conducting a "dangerous intercept" of a U.S. Navy surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft off the coast of China in international airspace. The Associated Press reports it's the fourth such incident since March. Rear Adm. John Kirby, Pentagon Press Secretary, said Washington protested to the Chinese military through diplomatic channels, calling the fighter pilot's actions "unsafe and unprofessional." Furthermore, U.S. officials said this is at least the second formal complaint American diplomats have filed with the Chinese over these military actions in recent months.
