Lands' End Launches Its 'Made To Work' Campaign, Proving Both Its No Iron Pinpoint Shirt - And The Men Who Wear It - Are Strongly Suited To Get The Job Done
DODGEVILLE, Wis., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For men and their Lands' End shirts, there's a common thread: they're "Made to Work!" Introducing the Lands' End "Made to Work" campaign, showcasing how Lands' End's superior-quality Men's No Iron Pinpoint Shirt and the real men who wear them are both "Made to Work." The online, print and broadcast advertising campaign will feature three real working men in their everyday lives sporting the classic shirt, with its new level of style and updated fits, fabrics, tailoring and care features boasting qualities that are "Made to Work."
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20071029/AQM053LOGO)
"The Lands' End shirt is a classic that is made to perform. The Made to Work campaign celebrates this iconic staple's authenticity and enduring quality by equating the unparalleled value of the shirt with the values of the individual who wears it," said Edgar Huber, CEO & president, Lands' End. "Whether he's a teacher, a CEO or a small-business owner, he brings true value to the world through his work – and the Lands' End shirt is the perfect fit to help him achieve his goals and purpose through that work."
The Lands' End guiding principles – quality, value and service – are reflected in the men the campaign will feature. Quality equates with integrity, shown in how the men work for something larger than themselves, whether for a cause, community or family; value equates with the heroic character of the American worker, which inspires those around them to do the same; and service equates with the dedication the men embody in order to achieve long-term goals for the greater good.

Saturday's Badger Ales Trophy at Wincanton is set to have two runners from the Tom George stable in the shape of Triangular and Ballyallia Man.
The giant Ballyallia Man will be running from 2lb out of the handicap if top-weight Diamond Harry takes his chance as expected, but George is keen to run his charge.
Triangular bolted up at Newbury last season but has struggled off his revised mark.
"This has been Ballyallia Man's target for a while and we gave him a run over hurdles to put him right for it," said George.
"He's got to progress but he is a big, staying type, so there is no reason why he shouldn't.
"His run over hurdles was a good deal better than what it would have been at this time last year, so he obviously is going the right way.
"He's an enormous horse and hopefully he's grown into his frame a bit. Also, he does have to go right-handed.
"Triangular will run as well and he just seems to have the odd day when things don't go quite to his liking.
"We'll just tip along and hopefully he puts in a good show rather than a poor one."

NEW YORK (AP) - Add cranked-up earphones to the list of health dangers Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration wants New Yorkers to avoid.
The city Health Department said Wednesday it plans to warn young people that they risk hearing loss from listening to personal music players at high volume.
The agency says it hasn't finalized the cost or scope of the media campaign, first reported by the New York Post. Officials plan to use public and private money.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says excessive noise has caused permanent hearing damage in 1 in 8 children and teens, and about 1 in 6 adults under 70.
Other health groups also have launched public education efforts about listening to earphones safely.
Bloomberg previously cracked down on smoking, trans fats, salt and large, sugary drinks.

This is Dong Ngo we're talking to here!
After multiple cancellations and attempts to get him on the show, Mr. Ngo is finally in the 404 studio in New York! We're excited to pick his brain on all the new advancements in the CNET labs, but we get side-tracked by the most random conversations. Dong and I have a special relationship (don't go there): Dong was actually the first person I met when I first started working at CNET! In fact, you could consider him my printer mentor! Thanks, Dong.

After 2 months of trying, Dong concludes he's not LaserComb-friendly. But he remains confident no matter what.

Sporobolus wrightii
Giant Sacaton
Poaceae (Gramineae)
Ornamental grasses and grasslike plants
Graceful, fine-textured, clumping grasses that are as tough as they are good-looking. Deep-rooted and drought-tolerant; excellent for massing in hot, dry areas and effective in meadow gardens, mixed borders, naturalized areas, rock gardens, and even by swimming pools. Plume-like flower heads appear in summer and fall. After they fade, tiny seeds drop to the ground; hence the common name. These plants tolerate a wide range of soil conditions.Sporobolus wrightii
Native in North America from 2,000–7,000-ft. elevation. Narrow, arching, blue-green leaves form a clump to 3–4 ft. tall and wide. Feathery, golden yellow seed heads nearly double the plant's height in late summer to early fall; good in dried arrangements. Evergreen in all but the coldest climates. Quite drought-tolerant but looks best with occasional deep watering.

#1 Stocks Rise on Bets of More Stimulus08-04-2011, 01:01 AMBy Michael P. Regan and Rita Nazareth - Aug 3, 2011 5:30 PM CT
U.S. stocks rose, reversing earlier losses and preventing the longest Dow Jones Industrial Average slump since 1978, as investors speculated the Federal Reserve will start another stimulus program. Treasuries 10-year notes erased gains, and the dollar slid.
The Dow halted an eight-day drop, gaining 29.82 points to 11,896.44 at 4 p.m. in New York. The S&P 500 rose 0.5 percent, rebounding after yesterdays plunge drove it to the cheapest price-earnings ratio in more than a year. Ten-year Treasury yields rose one basis point to 2.62 percent. Oil slid to a five- week low following government data showing an increase in stockpiles. The franc fell from a record versus the euro and dollar after Switzerland reduced interest rates.
Speculation the Fed will embark on a third round of asset purchases to stem off a recession grew after the Wall Street Journal said three former central bank officials support the approach. More than $2.3 trillion had been erased from the value of global equities since July 22, and Treasury yields set 2011 lows, amid concern the economic recovery is faltering. Service industries grew in July at the slowest pace since February 2010, the Institute for Supply Management said today.
Every time we see economic weakness, there will be discussion about more economic stimulus, Richard Sichel, who oversees $1.6 billion as chief investment officer at Philadelphia Trust Co., said in telephone interview. That could be the case given the fairly weak economic figures weve had. In addition, the market has given back a lot recently and people started to look at some bargains.The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

QE 3 is on the way. Helicopter Ben will just print more money. Gold and silver will just keep going up and up. However, I see stocks, jobs and housing going the other direction.

So the only tool left is the monetary policy "red button"? Time for Ben to go full force and inflate our way out of this problem?

2012 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab PreRunner 4dr Access Cab 6.1 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl 4A)
I've had Tacomas in the past with marginal gas mileage of 25 mpg, but this is terrible - less than 20 mpg.
Toyota has gotten worse & does not live up to the high standards that it once had.
Very tinny when closing doors & Poor Dealer Maintenance.
Probably will not buy again unless they improve much more.
They are relying on past reputation instead of making a better vehicle.
Seems like there is No Engineering; only Sales & Marketing today.
Put some Engineering effort into this:
Improve Gas Mileage -30 mpg+ can be done & quit all the electronic giz wiz "features".
Get back to basics & make a good, fuel efficient vehicle again.
the full review
I bought (and reviewed on here) my 2009 Audi TT Convertible which has been and continues to be a blast. At 85K miles, I decided to let it be my weekend car and get a truck for the first time. I had always been in love with Tacomas.
This October I got a 2012 Pre-Runner Xtra Cab and couldn't be happier. The interior has been upgraded and has a stylish, sporty feel. There is plenty of storage and plenty of room without feeling like you are driving in the middle of a cavern. The 4 CYL engine definitely provides enough power, and the Pre-Runner look gives the appearance of a 4x4 without the drawbacks on MPG.

This is the estimated average annual insurance premium being charged in your state. The premium has been determined based on annual premium data for defined coverages (liability, comprehensive and collision) from a major insurer.
While this information is specific to vehicle make, model, model year and body type, your personal information is not taken into consideration and could greatly alter the actual premium quoted by an insurer. Factors that will affect your rate include your age, marital status, credit history, driving record, and the garaging address of your vehicle.

Christmas Was Crazy, Sexy, Cool, And Full Of Carnivorous Fish Attacks
Scratch ticket instead of speeding tickets, fewer carjackings, and a porn vacation. Other than the fish thing, successful Christmas, America!
Byon December 26, 2013
We made it. Another Christmas in the books. This means another December 26th hangover - whether emotional or physical - to get through in time for 2013's last hurrah next week. But still, the presents are unwrapped, the relatives are gone, or at least about to go, and peace has descended, temporarily, over the land.
Well, not entirely.
Like any massive cultural experience, Christmas is often marked with an outpouring of antics, as crime rates spike and do-gooders unite, making the good vs. evil pendulum swing to extremes like Auntie Dot on her yearly nog bender.
Those of you who woke up to a bow-bearing auto in the driveway will be happy to know that Christmas, while being the domestic violence king, is the car thief's day off. Of course, they're just waiting to see what everyone got before nicking the best, but still. It's a day to rest easy. Though if you're in New Orleans, you should probably have left your windows down, as some overachiever was playing with their new pellet gun and shot out 166 car windows.
Less specialized criminals weren't on break, unfortunately, striking from Florida to California to Cape Cod to Washington and helping themselves to what was under other's trees. This New York family got hit for the second time since 2008.
Don't lose all faith in your fellow humans, however. When the Grinch strikes, communities will often step up. Such is the case for these folks who had all their gifts stolen, only to have a flood of friends and strangers deliver gifts anew to their doors.
Meanwhile, in Melbourne, (Florida, that is) the fuzz were being nice to the naughty, giving speeders scratch tickets instead of traffic ones, an apt move for a consistently crazy state who's headline of the day was 210 Santa-suited surfers taunting the sharks in Cocoa Beach. Up north in Atlanta, a dapper eight-year-old cashed in his PlayStation to feed families of sick kids.
Not sure if this is good or bad news, but the perennially under-sexed men of England watch less porn on Christmas. In fact, according to the map provided by Pornhub, everyone in the world does. Well, except in the virginal confines of Japan. Maybe it's because 50% of Brits have an optimistic view of their odds at a sexy holiday?
The best present of all? For a few minutes it looked like the world's most popular bowl-cutted entertainer, yes, we mean Bieber, was going to hang it up. Unfortunately, he was just messing with us. Here's hoping for next year.
Oh, and lunatic fringe? There's no War, capitalized or otherwise, on Christmas. Go home, trolls. You're drunk.
One thing is certain; no matter how crazy your family or how crime-ridden or sexless your day, we can all be glad we didn't spend Christmas in a South American hospital after being caught by rabid carnivorous fish in a feeding frenzy.

BOSTON -- A Pittsburgh woman has been arrested on allegations she defrauded advertisers and exhibitors out of thousands of dollars for a fake bridal show in Boston.
Authorities say Karen Tucker and an uncharged coconspirator posed as representatives of a business known as The Boston 411. They allegedly led a booking agency to believe they would hold a home and bridal show at the Hynes Convention Center in March.
Prosecutors say Tucker and the other person collected fees in advance from exhibitors, but used most of the money for personal expenses.
Authorities say Tucker conducted similar scams in Ohio, Florida, Maryland, Nevada and Texas.
Tucker is to appear in federal court in Pittsburgh Tuesday afternoon and will face charges face charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in Massachusetts. It isn't immediately known if she has a lawyer.

in this world i'm in too deep
gave most of what is me
whats its like to have integrity
i'm not sure cause i live blind
in this world i cannot see
who is there to believe?
losing all my sanity
whose there to find?
created this mess
or did it make me?
am i blessed
or do i act differently?
spoiled myself
i'm not descrete
goals, and purposes
is what makes me bleed
what have i done?
this desired hate
has made me the unwanted son
i did not mean
to become what you have seen
the money, and hunger
made me the monster you see
do i live a lie
or do i speak the truth
to better our future
or to ruin our youth
to believe in our dreams
or to stay awake
believing its not true
how can we have peace
when theres competition
our place of opportunity
has no recognition
this monster you see
is my release
and when you sleep
i cry
it's the real me.

ArmaGen Technologies, Inc. Hires Biotech Executive As CEO
ArmaGen Technologies is both a platform technology company and a products company. The platform technology produces IgG fusion proteins formed by fusion of a recombinant protein therapeutic, which does not cross the BBB to an IgG. The IgG domain of the fusion protein is a genetically engineered monoclonal antibody, which crosses the human BBB via transport on endogenous BBB receptors. The IgG domain acts as a molecular Trojan horse to ferry the fused pharmaceutical agent across the BBB from blood. ArmaGen has used the platform technology to develop a diverse pipeline of BBB penetrating recombinant protein therapeutics, including lysosomal enzymes, neurotrophins, decoy receptors, or therapeutic antibodies.

I've played with the Shutdown screensavers available which all work fine if somebody is logged in, but they do not work from the main windows logon screen, they normally count down to 0, then either, go to -1 -2 seconds and never shutdown, or come up with shutdown failed.
Any ideas on how to achive this goal?

By LARRY VAUGHT
BENTON — Kentucky coach John Calipari came to the Marshall County Hoop Fest to see signees Trey Lyles and Devin Booker play, and both put on a show for him and assistant coaches Orlando Antigua and Kenny Payne.
Lyles had 22 points on 8-for-17 shooting and 14 rebounds to lead Indianapolis Arsenal Tech to a stunning54-51 victory over Huntington Prep, a team filled with Division I signees and prospects.
Lyles hit a 3-pointer and made three free throws to secure the win for Tech (3-1) and then got to shake hands and speak to Calipari as he headed off the court. It capped a big day for him as he had 30 points and 19 rebounds earlier in an overtime win over Ballard.
Lyles also quickly spoke to Booker, who had watched his game after scoring 40 points in a 92-71 loss to Ballard.
Booker was 9-for-18 from the field and made 20 of 24 free throws, a pleasing statistic to UK fans considering the shooting woes the Cats have had at the line this season. Booker collected nine rebounds, converting three into scores, and had just two turnovers against Ballard's pressure defense. He got a standing ovation when he came out of the game with about 90 seconds to play and chatted with Calipari as he was waiting for Lyles' game to start.
"It was great. I wanted to come here not just for me, but for my teammates so they could experience this," Booker said.
His team won a rivalry game Friday night in Mississippi, ate and then spent about 12 hours on a bus to get here.
"We're tired, but it was worth it," Booker said.
Calipari also watched junior Montaque Gill-Caesar of Huntington Prep, who both Lyles and Booker indicated they hoped would sign with UK this year if he reclassifies, score just five points on 2-for-8 shooting in the loss to Arsenal Tech.

The findings add to a growing appreciation of the complex role that humans play in the function of ecosystems worldwide. In environments where people have been embedded in ecosystems for millennia, including areas of the U.S., tribal burning was extensive in many types of habitat. Many Native Americans in California, for instance, believe that policies of fire suppression and the exclusion of their traditional burning practices have contributed to the current crisis in biodiversity and native species decline, particularly in the health of oak woodland communities. Incorporating indigenous knowledge and practices into contemporary land management could become important in efforts to conserve and restore healthy ecosystems and landscapes.

Usher "Good Kisser" Video
Posted May 5, 2014 at 10:11 AM
Watch the official music video for Usher's new single "Good Kisser."
After creating some anticipation with short video teasers, Usher released his new single, "Good Kisser" late last night.
The r'n'b crooner's new single already has a music video which matches the song's themes, as we get close ups of many different girls and their various lips. Of course, this video wouldn't be complete without a nice Usher (and friends) dance sequence. The video was directed by Chris Sims.
The drum-driven record is currently on iTunes and will live on the singer's forthcoming eighth studio album, due out later in 2014. Hit the iTunes link to cop it.
Are you looking forward to the as-of-now untitled album?

BC Hydro rate hike will be costly for district
BC Hydro rates are going up, and that will impact more than just local residents.
The Richmond School District anticipates that the increase will result in an additional cost of $30,000 for the period of April to June of 2014, and for the next fiscal year, an impact of between $120,000 to $150,000.
Though that figure might sound like a lot, things could have been a whole lot worse, according to minutes from the December meeting of the Richmond Board of Education.
Secretary treasurer Mark De Mello noted that the "district had invested time, effort and money over the past 8-10 years in various energy initiatives and advised that this is the reason why the hydro cost increases are not as dramatic as they could have been."
In November, B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid announced a 28-per-cent electricity rate hike over five years, including a nine-per-cent increase starting this April.

The dynamic state of protein turnover: It's about time
2011; 21 (5): 293-303
The continual destruction and renewal of proteins that maintain cellular homeostasis has been rigorously studied since the late 1930s. Experimental techniques for measuring protein turnover have evolved to measure the dynamic regulation of key proteins and now, entire proteomes. In the past decade, the proteomics field has aimed to discover how cells adjust their proteomes to execute numerous regulatory programs in response to specific cellular and environmental cues. By combining classical biochemical techniques with modern, high-throughput technologies, researchers have begun to reveal the synthesis and degradation mechanisms that shape protein turnover on a global scale. This review examines several recent developments in protein turnover research, emphasizing the combination of metabolic labeling and mass spectrometry.

So I Can Forget
I need to throw away my cup of sorrows and forget: and the best way to do that, apparently, is to join the French Foreign Legion. The legion, founded in 1831, is one of the only regiments in the world that almost anyone can join — no matter where they are from or what they have done. There won't be any women around.
The only woman ever to belong to the legion was Susan Travers, a Briton. Attached to the legion as a driver during the Second World War, she refused to leave the Libyan fort of Bir Hakeim when the female personnel were ordered to depart in 1942. She stayed with her lover, a legion colonel, and led a convoy in a breakout through minefields and three rings of German tanks. She was accepted as a full member after the war
All recruits must assume a new name on joining. This is because some recruits do indeed want a new start and new identity, and it is fairer to make all new Legionnaires undergo the same process. Soldiers can revert to their real identities after a year.
So, what does the Legion give the lucky entrant? A hard time, mainly.
Before being awarded the kepis blanc, the famed white cap of the Legion, recruits must endure a severe training regime which can involve punching and kicking. All recruits have to speak in French – even if they can't. Even swearing must be in French, and there is a lot of that.
After three years service, a legionnaire may apply for French citizenship. There is a quicker, more painful way way: a soldier wounded in battle may apply for citizenship under a provision known as "Français par le sang versé" ("French by spilled blood").
I am sure that after all the trials, tribulations and disappointments of EP, my new life in the legion will be easy; and I am bound to become fluent in French (at least the swear words) as well.
Extract from Thoughts of an American in the French Foreign Legion
But I have to say that the Legion truly was our family, perhaps because we had so little time for anything else in our lives. When we sat down for dinner on Christmas Eve the commanding officer sat at the head of the table and the other officiers, sous-officiers (NCOs) and hommes du rang sat together enjoying good food, wine, cigars, champagne and singing songs until late at night. In many ways the Legion was more of a family to me than the parents and sisters that I grew up with.
So, what do I say to say to someone who is thinking about joining the Foreign Legion today? Well, my first reaction is to tell them to sober up and things will look better in the morning, which is exactly what my friends told me when I first expressed an interest in joining. It was, and still is, valid advice. The term of service is five years and the only way to cut it short is death or desertion. It may be possible to get out before finishing the four months of basic training, but once you reach your regiment you're in for the long haul.
The training is rough, but if you just want a physical challenge join the Marines. In the Legion you will face the toughest physical, mental and emotional challenges imaginable. You will be a long way from home, and if you don't like the treatment there's no friendly congressman to whom you can write. If a member of your family should pass away, or some other personal crisis occur, you probably won't even hear about it until you get a letter a week later. Perish the thought of an emergency leave for a quick visit home. There's no such thing, and in any case the first thing you did when you walked into the recruiting station was to surrender your passport.
And finally, no commentary on the Legion would be complete without a word about desertion. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, goes through a hitch in the Foreign Legion without thinking about deserting at least once or twice. The Legion even has an expression, «cafard en tête», to describe the phenomenon. In general, the legion doesn't mind if you are successful in deserting. But they frown on those who fail. I had a buddy in Djibouti who made a run for Somalia and didn't make it - he got the **** kicked out of him and did a month or 2 in jail. But by the time he finished the two years in Djibouti he decided he loved it, and both of us ended up together with the 2eme REP in Tchad. Believe it or not, in the end this guy deserted -successfully - with less than six months remaining on his contract. The Legion attracts all kinds.
DON'T EVER DESERT WITH YOUR WEAPON. I saw that happen in Guyane, and the entire regiment was called out on alert to look for him. My section had just come back from 45 days on 'mission profonde' (deep jungle recce) and we lost our promised 3-day pass because of it. The guy was lucky the gendarmes caught him and not the Legion, because we probably would have shot the bastard on sight.
And so I conclude. If you want to completely tear yourself away from your home, your family and all you've ever known; if you want to endure months and years of a Spartan lifestyle and a harsh disciplinary regime; and if you don't mind carrying out the most menial tasks with only the bare minimum of material, then by all means join the French Foreign Legion.
Not very funny FFL Jokes
A new lieutenant in the French Foreign Legion arrives at an isolated base in Algeria. As a corporal shows him quarters, he asks the corporal, "The base is rather isolated, what do the men do for female companionship?"The corporal replies, "On Fridays, they let us use the camels."The lieutenant is disgusted, but says nothing. After a few weeks, however, the new officer is very lonely. He decides that if everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't he. The next Friday, the young lieutenant slinks over to the camel pens and, after looking around, drops his pants and starts humping a female camel. The camel is not amused and makes a huge uproar. The same corporal comes in to investigate. "Lieutenant! What are you doing.""Come on man," replied the embarrassed officer, "You yourself told me we could use the camels on Fridays.""Yes sir," replied the corporal. "But most of us just ride them into town.
A woman reporter is driving a jeep in the desert. She sees a Captain in the French Foreign Legion pulling and tugging on a camel, but the camel won't budge. The woman stops and says, "Captain! Do you need some help with the camel?"The legionnaire tells her the camel won't budge but she's welcome to try. The reporter gets out of the jeep, takes two bricks from the back and POW... smashes the camel's testicles with the bricks. The camel makes a terrible noise and runs off into the desert. The captain drops his pants and says, "Great! Do me next, I've got to catch that son of a *****!"
What happens to your old identity after you take on a new name? I have life insurance and a daughter I would like to receive that....Would my original identity be considered deceased after 5 years? Would I be able to live in my country of origin once I complete my term? I would like to maintain a relationship with my daughter cause I am not abandoning her. I simply want to join a military force that will take me with my record. I have tattoos on my arms, flames and my initials and Chinese kanji and a cross on my bicep.
Have been planning on joining for a year now, had some physical issues to iron out and some personal goals to meet before taking the plunge. Have sold most of my belongings, cars, found homes for my guns and said goodbye to those that need to know. I know someone that served 30 years ago, and while they say it is life changing and a great experience there is still a lot to be wondered. It seems the FFL hasn't seen much combat in the last decade. I know the regular French army was deployed to Afghanistan. My question is what are the chances you will get to use use all of this training? I dont necessarily want to join to fight, but I dont want to join to do field exercises for 5 years either. Also if anyone knows, after you complete your 5 years and take on your old identity, can you come back to the states and join the US military? Thanks
What's the script wi speaking french will they just drill that right in tae me that's the only thing holding me back
Was in the British army for a few year now this ma next step can't wait tae get broke an wake up the next feeling am the one step closer ,
Can you join the legion if you have been discharged from the British army for drugs?
Aye mate that\'s why am going ha
You tell a great tale, but the quote "you surrender your passport at the recruiting station" is false. The home base of the second rep is Aubagne, the same place where recruit "selection" takes place and where your passport, phone and everything else is taken from you and you receive your legion identity. Though you have done a lot of research for your story their is nothing more intimate than actual experience.
I'm flying on the 14th of May 2014 to join and I'm South African. Whats my chances of making it even though I pass everyting, because i recievd a letter from them that stated 9 out of 10 are sent home because of to much candidates showing up each week
What's the policy on tattoos?
I'm not sure if this helps, but I jumped ship and joined at the age of 16
When I was about 20 I disobeyed the curfew and went on a ship for drinks
A legion patrol picked me up and I ended in jail
The next day a captain accused me of wanting to desert the legion
I was caught red handed and only had one defense, my contract was invalid because I signed it at 16,
But I did not use that way out because I was afraid they would throw me out of the legion, so ikeptmymouth shut and took the punishment. I hope that makes sense.
Hi I just discovered this site
Great input,
hi i was wondering , i tryed looking but could not find, whats the policies on going home to visit family? i mean do you have to complete your 5 year contract before seeing them or can you take leave after basic?
you get leave each year - i think it may be 45 days, but going home can depend on whether youve assumed another identity upon joining, whether youre wanted by law enforcement in your home country and how long youve served - they have an english language website with answers to most f these questions. All I can say is think long and hard before joining, 5 yrs is a very long time! good luck!
You an always desert, it's easy now with the legionnaires mainly in france
i served five years in United States federal prison for weapons charges. Will I b e able to join the Legion? my record could be worse, but its bad. I am from Los Angeles. I am fit, but will they allow me in?
Sure, why not?
i want to join but i dont know how to get over there, is there anyone that could help me with this, i atleast would like to know how to get started
if you dont know how to search the internet to get an adress, or get yourself over there then im not sure a career in the FFL is for you my friend.
You could look up France on google map,that might help
You need a valid passport and a roundtrip ticket to anywhere in France or even anywhere in Europe, then go to any major city and find the FFL recruiting office, there the recruiter will begin your paperwork, if you meet the minimum qualifications he will put you on a train to Aubagny and give you a ticket for the train and a small handdrawn map of where you need to go for selection. "Many come, few remain".
Im 30 an American wanting to join did 7 years in the Army but I want to server under a different style of training so what better place. How do I start and go about this?
If you have already done 7 years you should know better, ask your mum, she will tell you
forget the legion if you were in for seven years, you are used to getting respect, in the legion when you enter you start at the bottom and your past experience don't mean jack, give it some thought
what is an americans chances of being accepted with a bachelors degree fresh out of college? what do they look for in recruits typically?
They will check if you got 2 balls, if not you will be thrown out of the gate and spit at

POSTED: Monday, October 24, 2011 - 3:42pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 10:48am
An American diver was killed off the coast of Sydney, Australia over the weekend in an apparent shark attack. This is the third attack in Australia this year in the same area and now officials are on the hunt for a killer shark.
After the third fatal shark attack off Western Australia in a matter of weeks, the state's premier has ordered fisheries officers to hunt and kill a rogue "great white."
"There will be a helicopter in the air on Perth beaches as of tomorrow, that will be a temporary arrangement until surf lifesaving helicopter arrives," says Colin Barnett.
This shark, seen in the area shortly after the attack, could be the very one that killed Thomas Wainwright. The 32-year-old man had come to Australia from Texas to work in ocean engineering. Wainwright originally hailed from the Florida panhandle, and his sisters say he was a man with a passion for life, and for the ocean, who also adored Australia.
"The day before, he sent us an email about coming to Australia for Christmas," says Wanda Brandon, Wainwright's sister.
On Saturday, Wainwright and two American friends had taken a boat to a picturesque island just off shore from the city of Perth. He was scuba diving when the shark struck. Some here in Western Australia fear there could be one devastating predator responsible for this deadly attack and the two others, but scientists say it is more likely there were three separate sharks, all trailing the whales now migrating through the area.
Authorities say they're doing whatever they can to prevent another attack like this one.
