- Beverages: Wine, liquor, beer, and all of your favorite beverages are permitted in your checked baggage. You can also bring beverages packaged in 3.4 oz or less bottles in your carry-on bags in the 3-1-1 baggie. Eggnog can be an alternate to fuel depending on who's mixing it. Sometimes there's a fine line between a beverage and hazmat. Just sayin'…
- Makeup: Any liquid makeup cosmetics such as eyeliner, nail polish, liquid foundation, etc. should be placed in the baggie. That goes for perfume as well. Powder makeup is fine.
- Deodorant: Stick deodorant is not limited to 3.4 oz or less, but gel or spray deodorant is.
- Some Snow Globes are Permitted Now: TSA now allows small snow globes in carry-on luggage when packed in a passenger's plastic 3-1-1 bag. Snow globes that appear to contain less than 3.4 ounces (approximately tennis-ball size) will be permitted if the entire snow globe, including the base, is able to fit in the same one clear, plastic, quart-sized, re-sealable bag as a passenger's other liquids.
- Gel Inserts for shoes are now permitted.
- Foods: Cakes, pies, bread, donuts, turkeys, etc. are all permitted. Here is a list of items that should be placed in your checked bags or shipped: cranberry sauce, creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, etc.), gift baskets with liquid or gel food items (salsa, jams and salad dressings), gravy, jams, jellies, maple syrup, oils and vinegars, sauces, soups, wine, liquor and beer.

Blogger Bob,
1. This post may be helpful for infrequent travelers.
2. When will you be addressing the security, safety, and privacy issues that have occurred these past several weeks? Although it's nice to know we need to pack jam in our checked bags, knowing
- how TSA screeners are actually treating passengers
- how the unionization of TSA will "improve" its employees work
- whether Rapiscan faked testing of your oft-toted privacy software plugin
- how an airline employee was unnecessarily put on the No-Fly List, causing him loss of over a month of work
is much more important. - November 15, 2012 at 12:28 PM

"TSA has implemented TSA Pre✓™, an expedited prescreening initiative for known travelers, active duty service members and airline crewmembers at select airports, and modified procedures for screening passengers 12 and under and 75 and older to reduce, although not eliminate, the need for a pat-down. TSA Pre✓™ is currently available in 32 airports and will be in 35 airports by the end of the year."
Pathetic. This should be the default level of screening for ALL passengers, not the elite few who can pay for it. Shameful and dishonorable as always, TSA! - November 15, 2012 at 12:48 PM

Dear Santa...
I have been a good boy all year and not kicked my sister once, not even when she deserved it. Since I have been a good boy I am hoping you can bring me for Christmas My dignity as an individual when travelling by air, my Constitutionally protected Rights while in the airport and everywhere else too, and a pony.
Thank you

Can you post some tips for travelling with an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitors (CGM)? Most pump manufacturers say not to go through the body scanners because the scanners can damage the pumps and CGM's. The metal detectors are safe though. However, having to involuntarily opt out of the body scanners leads to an invasive, full body patdown.
Is there any way to be screened in a different way? I don't have a problem with the scanners, but I can't go through them with my pump and the pump can't go through the baggage x-ray. I'm tired of having my "resistance" fondled. You may call it resistance, but I know what you are touching and only my wife or doctor should be touching those areas. Can medical opt outs like this be allowed through the metal detectors and have the pump swabbed for explosives? There has to be a better way. - November 15, 2012 at 3:42 PM

The TSA can sing holiday songs in airport terminals from Thanksgiving through Christmas. It doesn't excuse the fact that you will virtually strip search and inappropriately touch thousands of law-abiding Americans in violation of basic human dignity this holiday season.
Given the repeated sordid news stories involving the TSA in 2012, I suggest you update your holiday post to give Americans some asssurance that their holiday travel experience will NOT be ruined by the TSA. - November 15, 2012 at 4:53 PM

TSA's Whole Body Strip Search Backscatter Machines produce "Near-Naked Images"!
TSA puts controversial scanners in storage
"The machines, so-called backscatter machines that use X-rays to scan passengers, produce near-naked images of travelers. The TSA said that software that was supposed to replace the near-naked image on the machine with a stick figure was flawed and couldn't be used to ease privacy concerns."
Bob, I seem to clearly you and other TSA Spokespeople (Nico for one) telling the public how these Strip Search Machines only produced a fuzzy chalk like outline of peoples bodies. Yet TSA required the images to be viewed behind closed doors so it was clear something wasn't right.
Also, don't think all of the Backscatter X-Ray Strip Search Machines have been removed from airports. NO, TSA has lots of them installed around the country.
The safest course of action is to always Opt Out of all TSA screening that use Electronic Strip Search Machines.
None of these devices have been tested for safety except on the public in our airports.

Hi! I just came back from a trip to Palm Springs CA. I was full body scanned and patted down because I was wearing a zipper front sweater. I think you should let people know they should not wear zippers on their sweaters, or take them off before walking through. They will be patted down even if they walked through the full body scan. I am not a fan of the full body scan...fyi.

The TSA seems to think that if they repeat something over and over, people will start to believe it. I figure if I keep asking a question over and over, the TSA might eventually answer it. We're probably both wrong, but here it goes anyway...
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. - November 16, 2012 at 12:29 PM

Remember folks: it's permissible to take an entire frozen turkey as your carry-on baggage (assuming it meets size restrictions). But gravy is still verboten!
Also: gel inserts for your shoes are now permitted, but a bottle of hand sanitizer is a threat to national security!
If the TSA had a modicum of humility-- just a bit of self-awareness and shame-- it would admit that its rules are completely made-up.
If liquids really WERE a threat to security, there wouldn't be exceptions for contact lens solution or gel inserts. Those exceptions only exist for convenience, and they would present a real security risk if liquids really were a threat.
But the TSA won't admit that. Instead, as public awareness of the gaping holes in their logic increases, they make more and more exceptions, all the while maintaining that NOTHING HAS CHANGED, and that their absurd, made-up rules based on movie-plot threats are vital to protecting us when we travel.
Want to prove me wrong, Bobby? Find me ONE example of the TSA admitting that one of its rules or measures has been ineffective. They've completely discontinued the use of the "sniffers"-- after scientific studies showed them to be completely useless-- but the TSA still hasn't admitted that they were wrong to waste taxpayer money on them.
Find me one instance, Bobby. Just ONE. - November 17, 2012 at 10:22 AM

"I've seen some chatter and conspiracy theories as to why I moved this post to the top."
I haven't. The last post that you approved is from November 18th. In any case, I certainly wouldn't allege a conspiracy. I would say that we have a single government employee who did something remarkably stupid by pointlessly picking a fight with a blogger and is now trying to minimize the impact of his error.
"It's the holiday travel season. Busiest time of the year..."
It's Thanksgiving day, one of the most lightly-traveled days of the year. Nice try.
"There really wasn't much thought to it."
Well if that doesn't sum up your agency's philosophy, I don't know what does.
"It only makes sense to have our post with travel tips at the top. That's all..."
In the entire history of the TSA blog has a previously published post ever been bumped up before? And is it typical for a government employee to be working on Thanksgiving? No, nothing to see here at all...
I have taken a screen shot of this post, which is in complete compliance with your regulations.

The TSA Thanksgiving Travel Tips has been posted on 11/20/2009, 11/22/2010, 11/15/2011 and this year originally on 11/15/2012 not 11/22/2012. Not once has that information been re-posted to the actual holiday when most travel had already commenced.
Blogger Bob's claim that he moved this years post to 11/22/2012 from 11/15/2012 when it was originally posted certainly raises some questions as to motive.
Is it as Blogger Bob claims "It only makes sense to have our post with travel tips at the top" the real reason or is it the much more likely reason to help hide TSA's personal attack on Amy Aklon that was carried out by Blogger Bob using taxpayer funds, time and equipment for his attack?
I will let you the readers of this blog decide just how honest they think Blogger Bob really is.
By the way Bob, do TSA employees have to provide ID when requested?

Does a TSA Pat Down require a screener to rub peoples genitals. How can we complete the TSA Comment Card without the TSA employees name?
Tuesday, November 20, 2012Here We Go Again... Amy Alkon
Here we go again… TSA seems to be a frequent and a convenient subject on Amy Alkon's blog. The writer's language characterization towards TSA and our employees is offensive to say the least. Name calling, insults, the whole gamut...
In her latest screening incident, she's angry because a supervisor wouldn't give her the name of an officer who had just screened her. An officer who – by the way - by all accounts other than Ms. Alkon's, did her job by the book. It is more likely that she wanted this information so she could post the officer's name on her blog as she's done before with other incidents. In fact, she named and publicly accused one of our officers of rape after a routine pat-down in an earlier allegation.
Ms. Alkon says all sorts of things in this post, but what Ms. Alkon doesn't tell you is that from the moment she entered our checkpoint, she began making statements such as "TSA gets paid to molest passengers and touch their private areas." Does that sound like somebody who wants to get through the checkpoint smoothly? No, it sounds like somebody who makes a living by agitating situations and writing about them.
Also missing in the details, Ms. Alkon wasn't selected for a pat-down as she states in this post. She opted out of advanced imaging technology (body scanner). It's acceptable to opt out, but the standard protocol when a passenger opts out is that they receive a pat-down not a free pass through security. If you read Amy's comments, she knows this. As Ms. Alkon continued to make a scene, the checkpoint supervisor stated he would have to call airport police if she did not cooperate with the screening process.
We understand that not everybody likes or agrees with TSA's policies and procedures. Part of what makes this country great is that we can openly complain on blogs such as this one, but I think it's only fair that the blogger in question should be fair and accurate about what they write about and also consider the privacy of the individuals involved. After all, these individuals are doing the job the way they've been trained to do it. They show up to work daily with the intent of protecting our Nation's transportation network.
I can assure you of one thing, an infinitesimal number of our employees know of Ms. Alkon. I can also assure you that reoccurring allegations like hers seem to be more self perpetuated rather than based upon reality and do nothing but detract from the mission at hand.

And now on to another topic, Bob:
The recent GAO report in which it is stated that the TSA is improperly handling complaints, IOW complaints are being swept under the carpet:
"Customer Support Managers as well as all TSA screening personnel, including TSA screening supervisors and managers, report to FSDs, and are therefore in the same chain of command as the subjects of air passenger complaints. Because FSDs may be concerned about complaints reflecting negatively on their management of TSA screening operations, this raises questions about independence and the appearance of impartiality and their ability to conduct credible, unbiased investigations." - November 23, 2012 at 7:53 AM

- TSM said...
TSOs have to wear a name tag. it contains their last name. Local airports may have a requirement for a SIDA badge as well if TSOs are in a SIDA area. That is the limit of the ID required at the TSO level. If you ask a Supervisor for a comment card to make a complaint, he should provide you with the last name of the TSO you are making the complaint about. STSOs do not need to nor are required to give you the TSOs first name. Most STSOs will do this with no problem as they also would like to see the bad apples removed. It makes their job easier in the long run.

When I am in uniform I am required and I even carry business cards with all the pertinent information so I don't have to try and spell my name.

A completely baseless lie. When I worked at PDX, about 75% of all customers going through the millimeter wave scanner had to be patted down on a local area due to spotted "anomalies".

RE: Check for guns which I completely understand the importance.
May I suggest something - I was asked by a officer officer at JFK Terminal 4 recently after the metal screener, if I had a gun. I saw her colleague shaking her head so I knew that it was a joke, but knowing that this is a security situation, I had to take it seriously, so I said No. She repeated the question, causing me to feel distress - I certainly don't have a gun, and the woman didn't tell me anything more. I replied again NO. She repeated the same question and I was wondering if I should ask her where this is going. But knowing how strict the US officers are, I decided not to ask. She finally let me go and laughed and said that it was a joke.. A JOKE.
Please. Tell your officers that travelers going through day in day out are already stressed with all the process, and this is clearly an abuse of power. If they want respect, they need to treat their travelers with respect, and be serious about the situation. I have been distressed for the rest of my trip thanks to this "joke". It's unprofessional, and how can we ever take TSA seriously with this behavior? That's just provoking anger. - December 2, 2012 at 5:31 PM

NYU CLUB SPORTS are student organizations initiated and administered by their members under the sponsorship, assistance, and advice, for risk management purposes, of the Department of Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation. In order to be considered for inclusion as an NYU Club Sport, the sport must be a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or an International Olympic sponsored sport.** Further, there must exist a collegiate umbrella organization and a collegiate playing league with rules, safety standards, operating guidelines and opportunities for intercollegiate competition in the North East Region of the United States. No new clubs will be allowed that significantly duplicate an existing NYU Varity Sport, Club Sport, or any other student organization on campus.
How to Start:
Once these steps have been completed, the Student Advisory Committee will vote on the proposal. If a club is accepted, they are eligible for support from the Sport Clubs office in scheduling, practice time and space and organizing competitions. New clubs are responsible for completing all required paperwork and attending all mandatory meetings and training sessions. New clubs are ineligible for financial support until the next budget cycle and full school year.
Assistant Director for Club Sports- Gail Stentiford; 212-998-2018; firstname.lastname@example.com
** Students seeking to start a recreational club THAT IS NOT a National Athletic Association (NCAA) or an International Olympic sponsored sport may elect to apply to the Student Activities Board New Club Development (NCD) Program. Applications to the New Club Development (NCD) Program are due by the last Friday in September.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Applications to the Student Activities Board NCD Program that propose a club that would be classified as an NCAA or Olympic sport will not be approved by the Student Activities Board. Please follow the instructions for "Starting a Club Sport" for NCAA or International Olympic sponsored sports.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

premise made sense.
The alleged "Anonymous" activist kidnapped was reportedly engaged in a
physical distribution of leaflets as a part of what they called Operation
Paperstorm. This real-workd activity would make an otherwise "anonymous"
activist vulnerable to real-world detection and abduction - especially
while posting flyers denouncing government corruption and support for Los
Also, we made the opposite argument in our weekly. We noted that the US,
British and Turkish governments have arrested hundreds of these guys, so
they are not all that anonymous, and we believed the Mexican Government
and the cartels likely had the capability to identify at least some of
them too.

I have just one question about this anonymous hacker being kidnapped
article down below. If the hacker was anonymous then how could he/she be
kidnapped as no one would know who he/she was, because he/she was
anonymous. If he/she was kidnapped then he/she was not anonymous, because
someone knew who he/she was to kidnap him/her in the first place. It is
anonymous who is announcing the release of this kidnapped victim and not
the Zetas. I do not think the Zetas would release a kidnapping victim
anyway not under such threats. If they did they already know who
anonymous is as I am certain they would have interrogated the anonymous
victim before letting him/her go. This is why I do not even believe there
was a kidnapping in the first place. If the Zetas can find out who
anonymous is so can the Mexican and U.S. Governments. The Zetas are not
that good above what the U.S. and Mexican Governments can do. Yep I think
the kidnapping was a hoax.

Anonymous Takes On Mexican Drug Cartel After Kidnapping of Hacker
The unidentified hacker, who was kidnapped by the Zetas in the eastern
Mexican port of Veracruz, was freed before the Nov. 5 deadline set by
Anonymous, the Mexican TV station Televisa reported Wednesday. An
Anonymous member using the nickname @anohispano announced the release of
the kidnapped hacker on Twitter.
Mexican authorities, who have no verification of the kidnapping, had no
The Anonymous in Mexico announced on a YouTube video last month its demand
that Zetas release the kidnapped member warning that failing to do so will
force hackers to reveal online the names of "taxi drivers, journalists and
police officers" serving the violent drug trafficking group known for
displaying the bodies of its executed victims in public.
In the "Anonymous Veracruz" video, which the U.S. security consultancy
Stratfor released, according to Courier Mail, a hacker wearing the mask of
Guy Fawkes, spoke in Spanish threatening retaliation against the Zetas if
the kidnapped hacker is not released.
Stratfor warned on Oct. 28 that "loss of life will be a certain
consequence if Anonymous releases the identities of individuals
cooperating with cartels," according to the blog "eats shoots n' leaves by
Richard Brenneman citing a report from The Guardians.
Stratfor said the drug trafficking gang had hired security experts to
track down the hackers and kidnap, hurt or kill them.
The Guardians report also said that some Anonymous members disagree with
the plan to expose collaborators of the Zetas while others claim that the
kidnapping was a hoax.

The win improved the Statesmen to 2-2 while the Hornets fell to 0-9.
On the night, the Statesmen trailed 33-25 at halftime and by as many as 13 points during the game, but 50-percent shooting from three-point land and 64-percent shooting from the floor along with great defense, which has become the signature of first year head coach Jim Boone, were the key ingredients that led to the victory for the Statesmen.
In the second half, the Statesmen found themselves trailing the Hornets 46-40 after being behind earlier in the half by 10 points.
Off a Hornets' turnover, the Statesmen pushed the ball up and found Jack Madgen on the wing for an uncontested three-point bucket for a 46-43 game with 11:40 remaining.
The Statesmen were then able to pull to within one point off a steal from Ryan Fleming who passed the ball to a racing Lloyd Hickinson for the slam-dunk with 9:50 left on the clock and a 46-45 score.
Delta State took its first lead of the game when Cornell Knight missed a lay-up, but Terry Leake was there for the rebound and the put-back for a 47-46 lead.
The game would go back and fourth for the rest of the half, but really heated up when DSU's Mike Weems and Madgen hit back-to-back three point shots for a 60-55 lead.
Concordia's Jarod Lewis followed with a three and Marlon Ford scored a basket to tie the game at 60-60 with 2:01 remaining. Two free throws from Madgen made the score 62-60 and a three from Weems gave the Statesmen a 65-60 lead with 34 seconds left in the game. Concordia scored another basket, but two free throws from Leake secured the victory for the Statesmen.
Leake led the Statesmen with 23 points, followed by Madgen with a career high 18 points and Weems with a career high 17 points. Weems was also 5-of-7 shooting from three-point range.
Delta State will open Gulf South Conference play Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. against Christian Brothers at the Walter Sillers Coliseum.

Kind of an intersting thing is Huntsman said something kinda similar
REPUBLICAN CONTENDER URGES U.S. TO PREPARE FOR a**PACIFIC
CENTURYa**, IGNORES EUROPE (Reuters) - Republican presidential
hopeful Jon Huntsman called on Monday for a new era of U.S. global
engagement based on strong economic partnerships and a leading role
in what he said would be a new "Pacific Century." Huntsman, a former
U.S. envoy to China who bills himself as the most experienced
foreign policy hand in the Republican race, said the United States
should erase the old Cold War-era maps designed to contain communism
and focus on building new relationships. "Today, we need a foreign
policy based on expansion -the expansion of America's
competitiveness and engagement in the world through partnerships and
trade agreements," he said in a foreign policy speech at Southern
New Hampshire University. Huntsman, struggling to gain traction in a
crowded Republican field, also drew several sharp distinctions with
rival Mitt Romney, including a slap at his plan for U.S. military
supremacy that would include an increase in the Navy shipbuilding
rate. "Simply advocating more ships, more troops and more weapons is
not a viable path forward," said Huntsman, who is mired in single
digits in national polls of the 2012 race. "We need more agility,
more intelligence and more economic engagement with the world."
IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN Huntsman, who criticized
Romney's call last week for a review of the U.S. troop drawdown in
Afghanistan, advocated a quick withdrawal of all U.S. troops there
and said the military should not be used for nation-building. "We
cannot social engineer other countries. We can't even social
engineer our own inner cities," he said. "It is cultural arrogance
to think we can make tribal leaders into democratic leaders." He
said a new "Pacific Century" was dawning as population, economic
power and military might shifted toward the Asia-Pacific region, and
that the United States must strengthen its relationship with China
and India to navigate it. SHARED VALUES WITH CHINA Huntsman, a
former Utah governor, vowed to press China to open its markets to
U.S. exports and increase internal demand, and he called for a
renewed U.S. collaboration with China on clean energy technologies,
combating global pandemics and countering piracy. "Our relationship
with China has been a transactional one for 40 years. We buy their
products. They buy our bonds," he said. "But for a truly healthy
relationship, we need to infuse the relationship with shared
values." Huntsman entered the White House race this summer shortly
after returning from his post in Beijing, but he has failed to catch
fire in a still-unsettled Republican battle for the right to
challenge President Barack Obama in 2012. Conservatives who play a
big role in the Republican nominating process have not warmed to his
moderate views on social issues like civil unions for homosexuals
and climate change. But he is counting on a strong showing in more
moderate New Hampshire, which will hold its contest in early
January, to give him momentum in later states, particularly Florida.
While his support in national polls has been in low single digits,
he has seen his numbers inch up in New Hampshire. A University of
New Hampshire poll last week had him in third place in the state at
8 percent support, well behind leader Romney at 37 percent and
businessman Herman Cain in second at 12 percent. Huntsman criticized
Obama's economic and foreign policies and said rebuilding the U.S.
economy would be crucial to raising America's standing and influence
in the world. He said an overhaul of tax and regulatory codes would
make it easier for U.S. companies to compete globally. He called for
quick passage by Congress of trade deals with South Korea, Colombia
and Panama. "America cannot project power abroad when we are weak at
home," he said.

America's Pacific Century. In the article she reassert

middle east, and the importance for U.S to build Pacific power in
the next decade. The article published right before Obama's Asia
tour and two critical regional meetings - APEC and EAS where U.S
is set to reassert its commitment in the region, and therefore it
is to shape the perception among U.S pacific allies and the South
East Asia countries. The reengaging plan was announced by Obama
since inauguration but the slow move have also interpreted by
allies as evidence of low priority of U. S policy agenda and
weakness of security guarantee. Real step has to be make to
realize such commitment, but with breath from elsewhere and
shifting importance of Asia, U.S is suggesting to regain its
influence in the region.
Beijing measures to support SMEs. Ongoing question when government
measure will take place to help SME survival, and initial step is
taken in wenzhou, the frontrunner city of private enterprises and
indicator of government's policy. While Beijing's long term policy
is to have SMEs to undertake restructuring or consolidation, it
can't afford massive bankruptcies and unemployment when economic
is in uncertainty phase and politically in a sensitive period.
The current situation appeared more likely Beijing's test to
deflate speculation and the capability of SMEs to sustain, though
with whether it could be managed in a controllable way as it did
before is unknown.

I recently added an HR34 and a Samsung 6420 to my DTV setup. I also have several HR24's and everything is on the whole home network. In addition to some the issues discussed in the forum, I have also noticed that when I am viewing directly connected to the HR34, the playlist will include the playlists of the HR24's I have. But I am on the samsung using RVU, if I pull up the playlist it will only show the playlist on the HR34, not the playlists from the other HR24's. I don't know if there is something I don't have set correctly, or if this is a limitation of RVU. If this is a current limitation of RVU, does anyone know if there are future plans to allow RVU to see other connected playlists.
I believe this is a limitation of RVU and I don't think there is anything they can do about it. The way whole homde DVR works is the HR24 actually plays the program and sends it out over the DECA network to whatever receiver you are watching the program on. The HR34 can understand this so you are able to watch the content on it. However your Samsung TV can not understand the information that the HR24 is sending out, so it can't access it. The HR34 can send it's recordings out as a whole home signal that the H2x receivers/HR2x DVRs can understand, or it can send the recordings out as a RVU stream that your TV understands so you can watch it's recordings either way.
I don't believe there are any plans to upgrade the HR2x DVRs to support RVU. I don't know if their hardware could support it if they even wanted to add the feature.
The only way to get around this would be to have mutliple HR34s, but I'm not sure if the Samsung TVs can access multiple RVU servers or not so I'm not 100% sure if this would work either.

I called the DirecTV rep to see if I was authorized for RVU and she said that there was no special autorization needed, just the whole home feature enabled.
After the call all of the sudden the "Add a Client" menu option showed up, however, when I perform the add a client function and my TVs can still not see the HR34.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know specifically what to tell DirecTV to add to my account to add a RVU client? DirecTV says I need a RVU Client Device but I know based on what I've read I only need the RVU input on my Samsung D6000. I get all the way to the Add a Client but I need someone at DirecTV to "turn it on" in the system which several customer reps say they don't know how to do. If anyone know specifically what to tell them to "push" or "codes to use" I would be very grateful!
Call and ask for HR34 Tech support. They should be able to help you.

I see here, as in other forums, several posts indicating ALL 2012 Smart TVs will have RVU capability....that was my understanding too from CES.
Now I'm not so sure! Just bought a UN46ES6100, hooked up, made sure has latest firmware, go to sources menu, no RVU! Strange, can't figure it out.
Get on Samsung chat, agent seems to research thoroughly and comes back and says their internal database indicates only these 2012 models have RVU capability; EH5300, ES6500, ES6600! My new 2012 Smart TV is NOT RVU capable! Of course he won't send me any document to validate it.
Anyone else heard/experienced this issue...I think the agent may be correct? And of course the Samsung website is weeks/months behind the eight ball as always, so no use at all!
Posted 23 April 2012 - 06:17 AM
We understand you would like to know the TV model numbers compatible with RVU feature.
The compatible models with RVU feature are:
UN**EH5300, UN**ES6500, UN55ES6600 with any firmware version installed on them.
UN**D6000, UN**D6400, UN**D6420 with 1025.0 firmware version installed on them.

Legacy Square is a permanent interactive exhibit to honor and preserve the history of the Negro Leagues and the great players from the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords. The exhibit is located inside the Left Field Gate Entrance at PNC Park, and is unlike anything else found in Major League Baseball. The multiple elements of the interactive experience share the inspiring story of the remarkable people that helped revolutionize the sports and business world in their own way.
The exhibit features life-size bronze statues of former Negro Leagues greats Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston, Josh Gibson, Judy Johnson, Buck Leonard, Satchel Paige and Smokey Joe Williams. Each statue is accompanied by an interactive kiosk allowing fans to view a personal video and learn about the player's background, Hall of Fame honors and playing statistics.
The highlight of the exhibit is the Legacy Square Theatre, an indoor 25 seat movie theatre that presents the legacy of the Negro Leagues on many interactive levels.
The theatre features an interactive "chatting wall" that was created by the Entertainment Technology Center at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University. As guests enter the theatre and pass in front of a wall mural of fans, built in motion sensors prompt one of six flat screen monitors to turn on and bring the fans to life. The visitor will see and hear from baseball fans what it was like to attend games played in the Negro Leagues, learn about the personalities of the players, and be entertained by the retelling of the folklore that surrounded Negro Leagues baseball in Pittsburgh.
The Legacy Square Theatre also features a photographic timeline of segregated baseball in America and how it paralleled baseball history in Pittsburgh, as well as a video presentation titled, "BUILDING A LEGACY: Pittsburgh and the Negro Leagues."
The 12-minute presentation begins with the introduction from life-size wax figures of Homestead Grays owner Cumberland Posey and Pittsburgh Crawfords owner Gus Greenlee. The figures appear in a baseball diamond diorama behind a chicken wire backstop. A video screen is then lowered and a film is played showcasing the history of the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords.
The film, which is narrated by Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, is a blend of historical narrative, rare movie footage and first person interviews with journalist Mal Goode, local baseball legend Harold Tinker, Negro Leagues and Major League player Monte Irwin, Pittsburgh Crawfords player Clarence Bruce and Cumberland Posey's daughter, Oldie Posey Striblin.

Playing Ferdinand
Posted by Administrator under Uncategorized
No Comments
This week, actor Jeffrey Otto discusses playing Ferdinand in The Tempest.
Hello Shakespeare fans! I am here to discuss what it has been like portraying Ferdinand in The Tempest. So far in my Shakespearian acting career, I have portrayed multiple roles in a travelling Shakespeare show called Bard to Go: All's Fair, Peter Quince in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet, and Marcellus, the 2nd Player (or Player Queen), and Fortinbras in Hamlet. So this is my fifth Shakespeare show, yet my first time portraying a Shakespearean lover. That is where a lot of my work has been concentrated.
In the play, we first meet Ferdinand while he's wandering around, unknowingly following Ariel, devastated by what he thinks to be the loss of his father Alonso – the King of Naples. His devastation quickly changes to passion and love when he discovers Prospero's daughter, Miranda, on the island. One of the harder things I have had to deal with is showing my love and passion for Miranda, and yet still showing hints of sadness for my drowned father. So, not only do I have to portray loving feelings, but I have to remember to show some other feelings as well. Ferdinand shows love, sadness, anger, annoyance and excitement throughout the show. The most prominent being his love towards Miranda – but those other emotions come out from time to time as well. It's been a challenge figuring out how to display those other feelings without losing the other emotions I'm supposed to be conveying. For example, going from love to sad, to love immediately in the span of one line is a bit difficult!
This play marks my third experience with The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company. My first experience being Hamlet, playing Marcellus, Fortinbras, and the 2nd Player (or the Player Queen), my second experience being a staged reading of The Alchemist for the Early Modern Others series, playing Ananias. Of the two, only The Alchemist was ensemble directed – and that was quite different than this due to the much shortened rehearsal process and the fact that we had scripts in our hands. That being said, this was my first full-blown experience doing an ensemble directed Shakespeare show. I won't dwell on this too much, as it has been mentioned several times in previous blogs, but that was a new challenge for me as well.
For this show I accepted a new technical responsibility that I haven't done on a previous Pigeon Creek show, and that was the responsibility of Props Master. No, this was not a props heavy show, but a few of the props we had were a bit complicated and took some work. For example, Prospero's Staff. Do we make it breakable? What goes at the top of the staff? How natural should it look? These and many more are questions that myself and my props crew, Elle Lucksted, needed to ask ourselves and the cast before construction of the staff could begin. What we came up with? Well, you'll just have to come and see the show and find out for yourself!
As I mentioned before, this is my third experience working with Pigeon Creek. That being said, I want to note on how different it has been working with the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company. Besides the obvious (the staging and the original practices), you have many more responsibilities in a Pigeon Creek show. When not on-stage, it is your responsibility to be making sound effects backstage, paging curtains, and helping people get into costume. I myself am responsible for drum noises, rain-drum noises, rattle noises, and psaltery noises backstage. What we do backstage is just as, if not more, important than what is going on on-stage. A show can be made or broken by what goes on behind the scenes. So…it gives us a bit of pressure to make sure we get our stuff done at the right time!
As always, this has been an amazing experience. I love working with Shakespeare's works. I have had a blast playing the role of Ferdinand and I will continue to do so until our run ends. This is a fun and talented company to work with, and I am glad I have had a few chances to do so.

High growth oriented entrepreneurs – or GOEs - in both developing and developed economies have a strong potential to drive economic growth, finds global research from Delta Economics, undertaken for ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
The results in High growth SMEs: understanding the leaders of the recovery show that despite the recession, GOEs in BRICSA countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – have been able to develop and grow a company, while those in the West, including UK, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and the USA have also shown the ability to expand and prepare for sustainable growth.
However, the UK faces strong competition from BRICSA countries as well as its Western neighbours, especially as Chinese growth businesses are by far the biggest in the survey, with an average turnover of $4.13 million in the last full year of trading and a median growth rate of 453% since start-up. This compares to UK business' relatively impressive 176% growth since start-up, which is the fastest in the West.
Building a compelling picture of entrepreneurial optimism, the research examines the challenges and difficulties encountered by GOEs, and warns that governments, institutions, banks and professional advisors need to pay careful attention to their needs now and in the longer term.
Dr. Rebecca Harding, CEO of Delta Economics, says: 'Fast-growth entrepreneurs provide many benefits to economies and governments from creating direct employment, to paying tax revenues, to growing exports, and so stimulating the economy. These modern businesses are likely to be kind to the environment, possibly even as a 'green' business; they consider themselves generous to employees and work with their local communities. They need support from governments from creating the right regulatory and tax environment to ensuring that the people they recruit have the skills needed to work for these entrepreneurs.'
Rosana Mirkovic, head of global SME Policy at ACCA, adds: 'UK respondents registered most concern over the macro-economic climate (63%), maintaining profit (65%) and domestic competition (57%). But the UK displays a determination that is echoed in other GOEs around the world. The research shows that global entrepreneurs have proved their determination and resilience to build their dream business - taking support and funding from wherever available. BRICSA entrepreneurs in the emerging economies face the same challenges, concerns and opportunities as their peers in developed markets and have shown remarkable strength in achieving superior growth rates. These businesses and others that will follow them are the engines of growth, which will take the global economy out of recession. Accountants need to match this optimism and dynamism, and continue to be trusted advisers to these GOEs.'
The report shows that the UK GOE is facing a tough global environment:
- International drive: Given the UK economy's slow or negative growth, UK GOEs are looking elsewhere for growing markets – some 60% of UK GOEs showed evidence of some international activity including marketing or selling overseas, sourcing materials, seeking finance and partnerships, or some element of ownership.
Internationally oriented businesses grow faster than domestic only, with the UK sample showing that the international businesses that establish themselves as 'domestic only' first grow faster.
Three-fifths of UK and European GOEs showed evidence of being international, while in the US it was the opposite with three-fifths domestic only and from BRICSA entrepreneurs were just under 50% international. - Motivations: Entrepreneurs are motivated by four things: following a dream; taking advantage of a market opportunity; getting autonomy over their time and 'making a lot of money'.
In the UK, like all countries, 'following a dream' is the most or second most important factor in setting up a business, with over one-half of respondents listing it. Only in Russia was this below 50% (at 41%), but even here it was the third biggest motivator. 'Taking advantage of the market opportunity' was important (over 75%) in the US, China, Brazil and Germany, and 'wanting to make a lot of money' was a strong driver in the US, China and Brazil (over 70%) but less so in Germany at 51%. While most other countries reported 'making money' as significant, to Italians (3%) and Spaniards (18%) it seemed to have little motivational value. - Growth expectations: GOEs are modest about expectations in the next three years for growth in turnover, however the UK and US stand out in the West, with expectations of 60% and 57%, respectively. Others expect growth of 50% or less, with Germany at only 25%. Brazilians are most optimistic, expecting to double turnover in three years, while Chinese are looking for 75% growth and South Africans around two-thirds.
- Access to Money: Entrepreneurs in the survey obtained between 60 - 80% of initial finance from self-investment, most of which came from savings or from personal borrowing. Even in countries which have lowest self-invest rates, they have the highest levels of investment from family or friends. In other words, GOEs get the most of their initial finance from within their inner circle and very little from external or official sources. Banks need to work harder to support these businesses at the start-up stage especially as the survey found that the key factor for turnover growth is the total amount of initial investment when starting up the businesses.
- Seeking advice: Of prime importance to any entrepreneur is the advice they receive on setting up a business. Within Europe, only the British (27%) and Germans (21%) discuss plans with work colleagues, and marginally more consult personal friends - 32% UK, 27% Germany, 26% the Netherlands, and Italy only 7%. China tops the list on 74% for consulting friends and 43% for work colleagues. European and US GOEs were much more likely to seek professional advice at the start-up stage than were similar entrepreneurs in BRICSA. As the business develops, professional advice is sought and is seen as a positive influence in all the countries and is actually rated higher in the BRIC countries than it is in the West. Finding these businesses at an earlier stage might provide an interesting market opportunity for professional advisers.
Rosana Mirkovic concludes: 'UK entrepreneurs are following their dreams, and seeking opportunities, despite the current jittery economic conditions. But continued and sustainable success depends on government policy creation and intervention, especially as entrepreneurs also inevitably see the macro economy as a major challenge. Although all governments would no doubt argue they were facing that challenge, the entrepreneurs would suggest that creating the conditions - stipulated above – would go some way to allowing them to lead the way out of recession through innovation, exports, new job creation and ever faster growth.'
Other highlights from the report:
- On being an employer: The UK lags behind Germany when it comes to being an employer – Germany is Europe's biggest employer, with on average employing four people when starting, compared with two in the UK and France, and three in Italy.
- Gender: Of those interviewed from the UK, 17% are female, along with France and Italy, and Germany 15%, but Belgium leads the way at 21%. The US scored higher, with 22% being female entrepreneurs, higher than their European counterparts. The proportion of female entrepreneurs in Spain is surprisingly low at just 9%, while on the global stage China scores highest at 26%.
- Age: The average age of high growth entrepreneurs is lowest in China at 35, compared to 46 in the UK, Germany and France. The average age of growth entrepreneurs in the US is one of the highest globally at 50; although Belgium has the highest average at nearly 52.
- Obstacles: All respondents saw the macro-economic climate as a major obstacle, while maintaining profit and cash flow were a problem for most. Taxation ranged as negative from 39% to 74% in the EU countries, with the UK and US above 50%. Brazil (61%), Russia (68%) and South Africa (41%) also saw this as a major negative issue, though Chinese business was essentially neutral and Indian entrepreneurs (62%) saw their tax system as a positive. Recruiting people with the right skills and training was a major challenge in the UK, as well as in Germany, Spain and South Africa where 40% saw this as an issue.
- Being innovative: Growth firms in Brazil, China and South Africa stand out in all areas of innovation, with Brazilian (55%), Chinese (71%) and South African (47%) companies being more likely to have invested in R&D than their counterparts in the US (41%) and Germany (22%).
About the report
- High growth SMEs: understanding the leaders of the recovery report asks and attempts to answer several questions. How have growth oriented entrepreneurs fared during the global recession? What are the challenges faced by and sources of motivation for these entrepreneurs? What growth strategies do they adopt (including sources of finance and advice)? What are the main drivers of growth? What are the differences in and between the major European and US economies and those in the fast emerging markets of the BRICSA (and the corollary, where are they similar)? The implications of these findings for governments, financiers and advisors are then considered in terms of what support entrepreneurs need to build sustainable companies.
- The report examines the data from the Delta Economics 'Challenges and Opportunities for Growth and Sustainability' (COGS) surveys of entrepreneurs in BRICSA countries, (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), in the US and in Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands) conducted between October 2010 and December 2011. The entrepreneurs run relatively young businesses (between 2 and 10 years' old) and have turned over a minimum of $300,000 after the second year of trading. They are therefore 'growth oriented' and have survived the economic and financial traumas of the past four years.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
The V-Moda Remix Remote headphones sell for $79.99 on Amazon.com and they're one of the best overall values in the headphone category. This is not just due to their impressive sonic reach and noise-isolating clarity, but also because V-Moda customers are treated to a level of attention and responsiveness that I haven't experienced from any other vendor.
CEO Val Kolton is an active player on multiple message boards for hi-fi heads where he responds to nearly every query and complaint from customers, and even uses their collective ideas to influence product plans. Headphones are jury-tested by working DJs from all genres, and though you may spot the V-Moda
As the audio industry continues its mission to convince everyone that it's worth spending money on a decent pair of headphones, the V-Moda Remix Remotes are a great example of how companies should earn that trust. They're featherweight at just 17 grams, though their all-metal earbud construction will do more for long-term durability than the simple glued-together plastic style used by the competition.
Nine-millimeter dynamic drivers in each bud give off hearty bass and luscious tones across a wide frequency spectrum, and a two-year manufacturer's warranty offers a comforting security blanket for a product designed for pocket travel. If you're looking to replace your stock earbuds for less than $100, the V-Moda Remix Remote headphones are practically flawless and deserve your attention.
Design and features
V-Moda understands that the value of a pair of headphones is only as good as their endurance against the threats of everyday transport. The Remix Remotes are armed to do battle with metal ear fittings that house the 9mm neodymium drivers, and a Kevlar sheath wraps the 32-inch braided cable in an extra layer of durability.
The most common stress points on earbuds are at the joints -- that is, where the earpieces connect to the wire and down at the bottom at the plug. V-Moda reinforces these areas with extra rubber articulation that allows more bending to accommodate deep earphone ports on a lot of modern case designs.
With all that extra material, one might assume that you'd have to sacrifice weight for durability, but as I mentioned, these headphones weigh only 17 grams, which includes the three-button rubber remote and microphone that sit beneath the Y-split left and right cables. You use the three buttons to play and pause your music in addition to adjusting the volume of the track, depending on which smartphone you own.

Whew! I have a busy seven years ahead of me. But this is all just to put a little context on the amount on time in the new Madison Bumgarner contract (which is actually five years, with options for the last two). I love Bumgarner, but that's still a long long time. Brian Sabean, you understand the magnitude of what you have undertaken, right? Okay. Good.

More Brewers please
milwaukee brewers June 27th, 2011
Hey, look the Brewers made number one on The Juice! What did they say!?
Was this the weekend when the Milwaukee Brewers made their big move in the NL Central? Time will tell, but a sweep-sealing 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday put winning pitcher Chris Narveson right) and the Crew in command of a division race that has been neck and neck for most of the year.
Combined with the St. Louis Cardinals getting swept by the Toronto Blue Jays, the domination at Miller Park gave the Brewers a three-game lead in the Central and some more hope that they can win the team's first division title since 1982.
The Brewers just put together a complete three game series. The pitchers pitched, the hitters hit and even Yuniesky Betancourt joined in on the fun. It's a weird feeling today, the Brewers have an off day and it's the most disappointing thing to happen all week. I don't want them to have an off day. I want to see them win some more. I want to see Yuni hit some more. I want to see how far Braun and Prince doing their thing can go. I'm ready for Casey McGehee's redemption and for the ongoing one-upping between the starters to continue. For the first time in a long time I just want more. More Brewers please.

The new addition will resolve one of the department's previous limitations — not being able to fight high fires in hard to access sites on the county's back roads.
The model's boom ladder will rise 78 feet into the air helping to reach flames that can occur in grain bins and other farm industry buildings.
The fire department had previously depended on a bucket truck from the Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department in similar situations but Bolivar County Chief Joe Phillips said he was happy to not have to depend on outside assistance for future scenarios.
"We've been working on getting this truck for about 10 years now," said Phillips. "It feels great to finally get it done — there was a lot of little details to work out and it was really time consuming.
"It's going to feel great taking our own truck and not having to rely on other sources."
Bolivar County Emergency Management Agency Director Bill Quinton thanked Cleveland for their previous aid.
"Cleveland has been very good assisting us, but there are certain areas their truck can't go," said Quinton. "The new truck is better suited for county roads."
Quinton added they would continue the relationship with Cleveland's department and provide the truck within the city as needed.
The Bolivar County Board of Supervisors agreed to back the purchase of the truck, along with an E-ONE Custom A truck that will be designated for Benoit's Battalion 6 unit.
Benoit's truck is expected to be delivered by May 31. Both trucks will significantly upgrade the county's fleet.
The vehicles will cost the county about $670,000. Around $212,000 from rebate funding was already set aside in anticipation.
"We can pay off these two trucks in five years at about $142,000 per year," said Quinton in a March board meeting.
Phillips said the backing from the supervisors made the acquisition possible.
"This never would have happened without their support," said Phillips. "I want to thank the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors for standing behind us and supporting all of our needs."
