We are VietAbroader.
From 2004 until now, by upholding our decade-proven values, VietAbroader has sent our members to numerous top universities and colleges around the world, as well as prestigious employment opportunities.
We empower Vietnamese youth.
This summer 2015, we will be offering a wide range of activities to all Vietnamese youth from 14-25 years old!
Our programs are organized by many experienced youth leaders, and there is something for everybody. More information will be released very soon.
Wait for it, here comes THE BEST SUMMER EVER with VietAbroader!
VietAbroader Study-Abroad Conference (VASAC), which was first initiated in 2005, remains the flagship program of the VietAbroader Organization. The Conference is trademarked with the motto Passing of the Torch (Chuyền Đuốc), as previous generations of study-abroad students in the US pass on the proverbial torch of passion, knowledge and skills to the next generation, so as to inspire success and achievements in Vietnamese students.
VASAC is now the premier study-abroad conference entirely organized by and especially targeted to Vietnamese students. This year 2015 marks the 10th return and our continuous effort to bring the most unbiased, accurate, and up-to-date study-abroad resources to our audience. For the first time, VASAC will take place in many cities and provinces of Vietnam in the Northern, the Central and Southern region of Vietnam.
Following the success in 2010 and 2014, VietAbroader Career Conference 2015 (VACC 2015) in Ho Chi Minh City and VietAbroader Career Talk 2015 (VACT 2015) in Hanoi will continue to focus on a wide range of internship and job opportunities in Vietnam. VACC-VACT 2015 will focus on Vietnamese career market, which will greatly benefit local students and overseas students who desire to contribute back to their mother country. VACC-VACT aims to become the most looking-forward event of the year for college undergraduates.
Our mission is to assist Vietnamese college students (local and overseas) in their career orientation and job application. We aim to become the most trusted resource for our audience to reach their highest potential and achieve their dreams during their next biggest turning point in life – college graduation. Thereby, our conference aims to arm our ambitious audience with the necessary knowledge and skills to start a smart career and contribute to the sustained development of Vietnam.
VietAbroader ILead , first introduced in Ho Chi Minh City in 2014, is our leadership training workshops where we will be organizing several leadership panels, inviting different guest speakers, and putting together engaging and fun team work activities to empower Vietnamese youths with essential leadership traits and self-confidence.
In 2015, for the first time, we will be holding ILead in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to bring this opportunity to even more students. This year, in addition to leadership training, we will also provide resources for participants to realize their ideas and plans. Lead your ideas with VietAbroader!
You're Only Freshman Once (YOFO) was first held in Hanoi in 2013 as a networking night targeted to incoming freshmen to American universities and colleges. This year of 2015 witnesses the return of YOFO in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to serve as a fun-filled but informative orientation program to better acquaint the newly admitted students to life in the US, what to expect and how to best plan out their next journey.
The VietAbroader community has always been a hub for talented, ambitious young minds who relentless reach out and reach up for higher goals. As such, we always strive to facilitate such networks between like-minded talents to connect and achieve success together.
Our past networking events include the Networking Galas (VietAbroader Night) in 2011 and before, VietAbroader Gala Night in 2012 and 2014, and the Annual Networking Event in 2014. This summer, we introduce yet many other networking opportunities for VietAbroader members and our extended circles. Stay tuned!
First introduced in 2007, VApedia currently serves as an online information database that provides up-to-date, accurate, and unbiased resources on studying abroad in Vietnamese. Questions to VietAbroader – QVA, on the other hand, is a newly introduced platform in 2014 for questions and answers on study-abroad admission and life. QVA is expected to replace the VA Forum for its modern, interactive interface.
Topics of VApedia and QVA range from different school systems, the admission process to student life. Our goals are multifold: to offer new information and various perspectives on our already existing themes, to extensively cover yet more topics, to refine the quality of our writings, and to enhance the design as well as the presentation of the website, all to serve our audience better.
– Students to Services is a new initiative this year to connect Vietnamese youths to student-run service organizations in Vietnam to encourage their pro-activism within the community while exposing them to more opportunities for self-development and hands-on leadership experience.
Connect to Students to Services at our Facebook page now for the latest updates. Spread the words!
Be a part of the VietAbroader family.
Together, we empower Vietnamese youth through various educational and professional programs, in order to contribute to the sustainable developments of Vietnam.
You belong with us.
By sharing their inspiring stories and invaluable advice about the admission process and ways to succeed in college, Vietnamese students in the United States have become the bridge between the two cultures and the inspiration for the future generation.
VietAbroader has equipped bright Vietnamese youths with necessary knowledge to connect with the gold-standard quality of the U.S. higher education in order to improve our understanding, grow our economy, and strengthen our relationship.
I remember in the early days when VA was an online forum with just a few hundred members. There are now over 65,000 members and VietAbroader is the premier Vietnamese student organization. It has, in nine short years, with the contributions of the co-founders and everyone who has followed in their footsteps, including all of you, become a brand in overseas study and, specifically, study in the USA. Thank you for your hard work, dedication and passion for giving back and making a difference in the lives of young people here.
What's on the horizon for VietAbroader?
The most remarkable thing about VietAbroader is the sense of continuity fuelling the organization. Look no further than the people running VietAbroader today: bright, full of idealism, and passionately dedicated to the mission of realizing dreams, each and every one of these leaders were themselves success stories, dreams realized by the work of VietAbroaders before them. This sense of continuity, where each life changed goes on to change many others, ensure that VietAbroader expands continually in size and scope, and that the audience it empowers continually widens to include an increasing large section of Vietnamese youth, thus catalyzing the social change Vietnam needs and deserves.
One of the best things about being a Director of VA Club HCM is that I have chances to work with so many talented, passionate, and "crazy" people. Each member of VA Club has a different background and mindset, but they all put 110% effort in their work, and that really inspires me. From staying up all night brainstorming for public events, to spending hours counting the "likes" on our facebook posts, I have shared so many golden experiences during the time preparing for our PE "The 7th Art" in last April, and other events as well. My time with VietAbroader has yanked open my eyes and brought not only joy but also worthwhile visions and perspectives.
I am lucky to get to know about VietAbroader when I was only 12 years old. That was also the year the inaugural VietAbroader Study-Abroad Conference took place for the first time in Hanoi. As I follow its journey, the year of 2013 was the most memorable milestone for me when I served as the Study-Abroad Conference Chair in Ho Chi Minh City. I was no longer just a little girl passively listening to my seniors' sharing, but then contributed an actual part in realizing VietAbroader's mission of Empower Vietnamese Youth. It has been 10 years since VietAbroader was founded. It is my sincere belief that VietAbroader has been changing, is changing, and will be changing, not only in its flagship annual Study-Abroad Conference but also with other creative initiatives, so as to relentlessly serve the students of Vietnam in the years to come.

By Pam Lontos
As a business owner or leader, you always need to make sure you're perceived as the expert in your industry and that you're getting your marketing messages out in the right way. But with so much hype and conflicting advice these days about the best way to market your product, services, or company, how can any business owner know the best marketing path to take?
Implement the following marketing tips today and watch your profits soar.
1. Know What Makes You Unique: Yes, your company sells certain products or services, and you probably have years of expertise in what your company offers, but if you're going to market and brand yourself as an expert, you have to know what makes you unique. So sit down and write out all the things that make you different, unique, special, and one-of-a-kind.
Chances are there are many experts, just like you, in your niche or industry. You're not the only expert. So why should someone buy from you or hire you over your competitors? What do you offer that no one else does? What are your credentials? For example:
- Did you grow a large business from nothing?
- Did you turnaround a well-known organization?
- Were you a leader or manager of a high-profile company?
- Did you develop a system that consistently gets great results?
- Have you personally used your system to lose weight, build a business, solve a major business or societal problem?
Whatever you identify as your unique element, you need to promote that fact in all you do. Even if you've been in business for years, you need to do this exercise too. There are always newcomers coming into your field, so you have to continually differentiate yourself as the best and your company in order to stay on top.
2. Identify Your Markets: No business can successfully market themselves to every sector of the population. So look at what makes you unique and choose one key demographic that makes sense for you to market to. For example, you may decide targeting older Baby Boomers makes the most sense for your products or services.
Next, see if you can expand that market so you can have two distinct demographics to target—the first is a niche industry or sector and the second is broader. Look at what's a natural extension of your main demographic and target that additional segment. You'll find that focusing on two key demographics will make your marketing efforts easier and more effective.
3. Promote the Bottom Line Results You Deliver: When marketing their company, many business owners fall into the trap of constantly touting why their company, products, or services are so great. They say and write things like, "We've been around for 20 years," "We sell the best solutions in the industry," and "We've won numerous awards." In truth, no one cares about accolades like that.
Instead of talking about how great you and your company are, talk about the results you'll deliver to customers. Use phrases such as, "Increase your bottom line," "This home is close to your children's school," or "Get the highest earnings with the lowest risk." Just as you analyze the bottom line results of any investment you make, your customers do the same thing—only they're looking at the bottom line results for them and their families. The only way to know what matters most to your customers is to ask them. So send a survey or personally ask your long-term clients what's important to them and what kind of results they get by using your products or services. Then, talk about those things in your marketing messages.
4. Don't Forget Direct Mail: Finally, let's not forget that direct mail pieces (sales letters and postcards) are still a great way to market your business. Key elements of your direct mail piece are:
A strong headline that stresses how you're going to help them (the benefit your products or services offer). Depending on what you sell, you might talk about losing weight, having a cleaner home, feeling healthier, increasing productivity, etc.
- Testimonials from satisfied customers.
- A breakdown of the problems your target audience is facing AND your solution for each one.
- A list of any articles you've had published in an industry or association magazine, or any local media appearances.
- A call to action. Clearly state the next step you want people to take: "Call me today," "Visit my website," "Request more information," etc.
Show people that you're "in the know" when it comes to their issues and that you're the best person to help them solve those challenges.
Market Smart: Being a business owner is one of the most rewarding professions. In what other career can you share your expertise, control your professional future, meet lots of interesting people, and make a difference in the lives of others? But to do all this well, you have to continually market your company, products, and services. By using the strategies outlined here, you'll be better able to stand out from the competition and market your business to new levels of success.

Maybe you received a new DSLR for Christmas, or perhaps your resolution for the new year is to dust off your old camera and finally figure it out. Either way, our free video(s) of the week will answer your questions of "what does that button do?" and "which thing should I choose?" These videos go over the same content but in two different versions for Nikon and Canon cameras.

Where is everyone?
Funny, there's only two beat reporters here at the Mattick today. Apparently, there's something going on over at Legends Field in Tampa. I wonder what that could be? Something about some dude named Rodriguez?
I wouldn't know. I cover the Blue Jays.
Slow day here at camp, though Marco Scutaro arrived, leaving only Jose Bautista, Scott Rolen and Lyle Overbay as the absent position players from the big league team. Kevin Millar arrived yesterday and we chatted with him today. Check bluejays.com a bit later for a story on that.
I'll also be posting some photos a bit later from Day 1 at camp yesterday. I was having some computer issues and wasn't able to post them until now. Also just sat down with Cito, and discussed a few things with him.
When asked if Bautista and Millar could both make the roster, Gaston said that's a possibility, adding that it depends on how many pitchers the team decides to head north with. He said the Jays might consider going with one less pitcher at the very beginning of the season.
Adam Lind made fun of my graying hair today, and told me I was getting old. Nice, since he and I are pretty much the same age. I asked him if I should dye my hair Dennis the Menace yellow like he's got going on right now. Not really in a position to make fun of someone's hair, Lindy.
And Travis Snider told me I was a crazy person for running two marathons over the winter. "I don't think I ran 26 miles all offseason," he said. Maybe not, but Snider has shown up to camp a bit trimmer and looking like he's in great shape. He said he's dropped about 8-10 pounds.
More later.
In my CD player: Pearl Jam — Vitalogy, because this is my favorite rock album of all-time. Now, don't mistake me here. I won't claim this to be the best rock album of all-time — just MY personal fave. Vitalogy was my first rock casette tape when I was a kid and it was what launched my love for rock, especially '90s grunge. This album never gets old.
Flight of the Conchords: Watched it last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. Season 2 has been up and down so far, but the fifth episode was one of the better ones of this season.
Last night: Went out and completely embarrassed myself in a round of billiards with the Star's Rich Griffin. We were playing best of five, and I looked good from the get go. Down to one ball plus the eight in Game 1, and Griff had five left on the table. He went on a run and I never took another shot. Game 2, I was down to the eight ball and Griff had four on the table still. Another run, another loss. From there, my confidence went through the floor and Griff destroyed me. Terrible. Just terrible.
4 Comments
Id rather hear about a slow day at Jays camp than any day at the yankee's/A-rod debacle. Keep up the good work. You would think Lyle Overbay, and Scott Rolen would be there early considering there preformances last year? Those two guys are going to be important to the offence.
One player who I dont know what to expect from is Adam Lind. What kind of numbers do you guys see him putting up while spliting time between LF and DH?
If Lind could hit .280/20Hr and .340 OBP i would be thrilled.
Im with you on not knowing what to expect he has shown glimpses of greatness but also struggled quite a bit.
Denoit. Ya that would be great, he definatly has that kind of potential. But he is a very steaky player

Info regarding 4EXT Recovery Touch and its yesno feature, or any interactive installer scripts you might already use, please see 3rd post.
Themes for 4EXT Recovery Touch:
Official 4EXT Recovery Themes Index & Discussion Thread
- All downloads are available through 4EXT Recovery Updater.
- It's free, no ads, no tracking, no nothing, don't worry
- ..and of course via 4EXT Recovery Control
- This ensures that your downloads are ok by automatically verifying md5sums and that known issues and changelogs are easily accessible
- When you install or download a recovery via the app it makes sure that your recovery config is correctly set up.
- It allows to automatically setup your time zone for recovery.
- You can use it to get notified about updates regarding your recovery version
- You can configure it to get notified in case any critical bugs have been discovered of the recovery version you currently have installed.
- It allows me to update known issues/changelogs immediately and to quickly pull a newly released version if there were reports about critical bugs
- You can also use it to just download a recovery.zip containing the image. The download will be automatically verified for correct md5sums!
By default the app also saves the recovery.img you flash on your sdcard,
so you can use it to flash the recovery via fastboot in case you need to do that one day.
If you somehow lost those files, there's a direct download (Desire GSM), (Desire CDMA) for a version you can flash via fastboot.
4EXT Recovery Control
- Free version: Recovery Updater
- Fully featured: Recovery Control
For a list of its many features, visit www.4ext.net
Some examples :
- Very easy to use, but also includes an extensive set of features available via "advanced mode"
- Comfortable configure all settings of recovery
- Calculate the space needed to create a new full or advanced backup
So you can make sure the backup will succeed before even rebooting into recovery.
Advanced Backups: While you are selecting / deselecting partitions, it will display and update the currently needed space to complete that custom backup set.
- Identifies and adds your romname so you don't need to type so much when chosing a meaningful name for your backup
- When you restore a backup, the app does the md5sum check instead of the recovery
This ensures that you know whether the restore process will succeed before even rebooting into recovery
- Flash as many zip files you want in one go
- Automatically calculate and display the md5sums of all zip files you are going to flash
- Check your backups' health to ensure they will restore later when you need them, by verifying their md5sums!
- Optionally, but highly not recommended:
If md5sums don't match but you really need that backup badly, you might want to restore it anyway.
You can you this app to fix the md5sums of a given backup
- As an example, the following is possible to do in just one session:
Restore a backup, set to create a backup / advanced backup before the restore,
format all partitions with a file system of your choice before the restore process starts,
flash additional zip files afterwards, fix permissions and select to stay inside recovery or to reboot automatically once all actions are complete.
- Much, much more! See www.4ext.net

Khirbet Qeiyafa
The fieldwork lasted from 2007 to 2013.
Now the expedition concentrates on the analysis of the finds and writing the final excavation
reports. A new field project is starting at Tel Lachish, cooperation between
the Institute of Archaeology of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Institute of Archaeology
of Southern Adventist University.
During the past 30 years, the biblical narrative relating to the establishment of a kingdom in Biblical Judah has been much debated. Were David and Solomon historical rulers of an urbanized state-level society in the early 10th century BC, or was this level of social development reached only at the end of the 8th century BC, 300 years later? Recent excavations at Khirbet Qeiyafa, the first early Judean city to be dated by 14C, clearly indicate a well planned fortified city in Judah as early as the late 11th-early 10th centuries BC. This new data has far reaching implication for archaeology, history and biblical studies.
Khirbet Qeiyafa is located ca. 30 km southwest of Jerusalem, on the summit of a hill that borders the Elah Valley on the north. This is a key strategic location in the biblical Kingdom
of Judah, on the main road from Philistia and the Coastal Plain to Jerusalem and Hebron in the hill country. The city was constructed on bedrock, 2.3 hectares in area,
surrounded by massive fortifications of megalithic stones. Five seasons of excavation were carried out in 2007-2011, five areas of the site (Areas A-E) were examined, and nearly 20%
of the city has been uncovered. The expedition excavated 200 m of the city wall, two gates, a pillar building (small stable?) and 10 houses.
In this area one of the world's most famous battles took place, the battle between David and Goliath.
Aerial photograph of Khirbet Qeiyafa at the end of the excavation project.
The city has the most impressive First Temple period fortifications, including casemate city wall and two gates, one in the west and the other in the south. The gates are of identical size, and consist of four chambers. This is the only known city from the First Temple period with two gates.
The urban planning of Khirbet Qeiyafa includes the casemate city wall and a belt of houses abutting the casemates, incorporating them as part of the construction. Such urban planning has not been found at any Canaanite or Philistine city, nor in the northern Kingdom of Israel, but is a typical feature of city planning in Judean cities: Beersheba, Tell Beit Mirsim, Tell en-Nasbeh and Tell Beth-Shemesh. Khirbet Qeiyafa is the earliest known example of this city plan and indicates that this pattern had already been developed by the time of King David.
The southern city gate, a typical four-chamber Iron Age gate, with the Valley of Elah in front.
The city came to an end in a sudden destruction, as indicated by hundreds of restorable pottery vessels, stone utensils and metal objects left on the floors of the houses. Thus, during five excavation seasons (2007-2011), very rich assemblages of pottery, stone tools and metal objects were found, as well as many cultic objects, scarabs, seals and the most famous Khirbet Qeiyafa ostracon, an inscription written with ink on a pottery sherd.

Stanley Cup is the reason which added true sports life in ice hockey and helped it cross the Canadian boarders and reach Russia, Switzerland, Slovakia and the U.S. The 1924 Stanley Cup is that particular ice hockey event which convinced Charles Adams that there has to be one more NHL franchise granted to him for Boston and he convinced the authorities. Boston Bruins was formed in November 1924 and became one of the first few expansion teams for NHL.Art Ross became the first manager and coach of the team and held this spot for next 30 years. Ross came up the team's name and the team proved itself to be the natural, untamed, agile, quick and sharp Boston Bruins. In accordance to the team's name, its first uniform was designed in combination of yellow and brown.
Boston Bruins played their very first game in December 1924 against the Maroons and one it but didn't manage to show an outstanding performance in the season. The team played its first 4 season at the oldest indoor ice hockey arena i.e. Boston Arena and shifted to Boston Garden in 1929. The team's performance improved in their 3rd season and made its way to Stanley Cup in 1927. The team won its first Stanley Cup in 1928 by defeating New York Rangers in the final. The Stanley Cup heroes of 1929 included; Harry Oliver, Dutch Gainer, Dit Clapper and Tiny Thompson. Bruins won the Division Championship in 1930 and two more Stanley Cups in 1938 and 1940. Bruins was climbing the success ladder slowly and gradually until the World War II reached these areas, affected everything including sports, depleted the NHL to six teams and dragged Bruins down the NHL rank charts.
It took Boston Bruins 30 long years to recover from the war and be the natural, quick and ferocious Bruins again. The team won the Stanley Cup after so long futile years in 1970. The fans knew that the 70s has lifted the curse off Boston and it will all be perfect again. Bruins became unstoppable it had become obvious that they are becoming unbeatable sole king of the ice rink. The decade of 70s ended up adding 7 Division Championships and 2 Stanley Cups in Bruins credit. Ever since 1970, Bruins has shown consistent performance and has won several more championships and titles. In the last more than 80 years of their career, Bruins have held the Stanley Cup 5 times, been the Conference Champion twice and earned the Division title 22 times. The team members in their current Black and Gold uniform are always seen stronger and prominent than their rivals in each game they play.
Famous Bruins include Bobby Orr, Cam Neely, Wayne Cashman, Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, Peter McNab, Terry O`Reilly, Guy Lapointe, Roy Conacher, Paul Coffey, Woody Dumart, Fernie Flaman, Brian Leetch, Bobby Bauer, Bun Cook, Tom Johnson, Harry Lumely, Brad Park, Bernie Parent, Jacques Plante, Jean Ratelle, Alan Stanley, Cooney Weiland and of course Raymond Bourque, the longest serving captain for any NHL team and the highest goal scorer in the history of National Hockey League. The world of ice hockey is more challenging and cut throat because of the teams like Boston Bruins. The Bruins fans know that each of the team's game is either more interesting than the previous one and the results will be both interesting and threatening for their rivals in the Original 6 squad. If you are a Bruins fan, you know what to do i.e. grab Boston Bruins Tickets as soon as now.

Ten Characteristics of A True US Patriot
A True US Patriot
We, the People of the United States of America, finding ourselves repeatedly misled by those charged with the care and governance of our nation, know that partisan politics have resulted in a serious breach of the public trust.
|We have suffered attacks against our Constitutional rights and the founding tenets of this Democratic Republic.
|We have suffered the infringement of our freedoms.
|We have suffered insult to our honor and integrity as proud citizens.
We will no longer suffer in silence this continued assault that has now passed beyond intolerable.
We do hereby now and forever reject the bastardization of this nation's core principles through this proclamation, and define this reminder to our wayward leaders just what it takes to be a True US Patriot:
|A True US Patriot
|realizes if the rights of one are violated, the rights of all are at risk, and objects to any attempt to alter the Constitution in order to specifically undermine the rights and freedoms of others, ensuring that the Constitution will never be amended to endorse discrimination of any kind.
|A True US Patriot
|holds the founding principles of the Declaration of Independence to be self-evident, and defends the Constitutional rights of others even when those rights conflict with personal and religious beliefs; believing that all men are created equal, even in times of war, the basic principles of humanity apply not only to one group of people or nation, but to all.
|A True US Patriot
|supports the checks and balances within the three branches of government and rejects any attempts to circumvent or undermine them.
|A True US Patriot
|exercises the right to openly challenge and hold accountable at all times, even and most particularly in times of war, those who do not honor their oaths of office, who purposely mislead the nation, who abdicate responsibility when those in their employ are caught engaging in criminal and unethical activities, and who fail to serve the nation with integrity.
|A True US Patriot
|recognizes the contributions of the older generation and values the potential of the next, and that in order to promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves, our elders, and our Posterity, we must ensure that the basic rights of those we hold dear to access quality healthcare and education is steadfastly supported, uncompromisingly and without discrimination based on race, color, creed, gender, or orientation.
|A True US Patriot
|believes that human rights are inherent to the human condition and should not be given to non-living entities; the rights of corporations should not equal or exceed the rights of any individual, and the right to fair and equal trade as well as fair and equal pay are a vital part of those expectations.
|A True US Patriot
|recalls that our citizens consist of the tired and the poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the 'wretched refuse', and homeless, tempest-tossed people, and welcomes fair and balanced immigration with managed borders to ensure an open policy while maintaining and increasing security for both those who would call this land their home as well as those who already dwell within.
|A True US Patriot
|respects the personal religious choices of others, refrains from imposing their own beliefs upon others, refuses to support war in the name of religion, and offers foreign humanitarian aid unconditionally without tying it to religious dogma.
|A True US Patriot
|knows that due process of law and the protections against illegal search and seizure are core principles upon which our nation is founded, and the respect of an individual's right to privacy and security within their own home is critical to the preservation of our freedom.
|A True US Patriot
|respects the diversity and culture of all nations, recognizing that our continued success lay not in spite of other nations but in alliance with them in a uniform approach toward promoting the global general welfare.
|These ten basic tenets characterizing a True US Patriot can perhaps best be summed up in the words of Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune, paraphrased below:
|A True US Patriot
|loves what his country stands for, not necessarily what his country does, and will not shrink from holding America to her ideals¹.
¹ Eric Zorn, The Chicago Tribune, "Durbin should have stood up for his opinion", June 23, 2005.
Our 'leaders' have taken to calling each other 'un-American' and 'un-Patriotic' a lot lately. This list of ten characteristics of 'A True US Patriot' was compiled by a group of US Citizens both here and abroad. Let this list serve to help remind those who serve us that these terms were not meant to be bandied about like a club, bludgeoning opponents into submission.
Write or call the toll-free numbers of all your elected officials— from your local town/city council members to the President of the United States— and tell them about A True US Patriot. Let them know about this blog. Tell them that True US Patriots created this list, together. Ask your newspaper why it hasn't published an article on this subject. Let your friends and neighbors know about it.
Pass it around!
It's time to tell the media that it must live up to the role of champion of the truth, and ask the tough questions.
Thank you.
Have a safe and happy Independence Day!

Moero Downhill Night Blaze is the latest adult visual novel in the Moero Downhill Night series of street racing-themed games. In most visual novels ("adult" or otherwise), the gameplay is little more than a few major choices set up in a choose-your-own-adventure type story. However, Moero Downhill Night Blaze moves well outside the visual novel comfort zone by centering a large portion of the game around arcade-style racing.
Over the course of the game, you play five different courses that include forests, undersea tunnels, and city streets. You race each track three times—once to learn the track, once for the qualifiers, and once for the finals. The car use is dependent upon which racing team you join during the story proper.
When not in the race, you either watch the plot unfold in typical visual novel fashion or enjoy the game's liberal amount of hardcore animated pornography.
To see the game in (completely "safe for work") action, check out the video above.
Moero Downhill Night Blaze was released in English on December 11, 2012. It can be purchased at the JAST USA homepage (NSFW). Stay tuned to Kotaku East for the full review later this week.

Will definitely order from company again. Can't say enough on how I was treated by customer service. Great product that arrived within days.
Great experience fast shipping.
Quick shipping's
The coyote does it all! Smoker, grill, and sear. As a smoker, you get nice smoke rings and flavor while the grill holds temperature steady. The sear is great, im convinced it gets way hotter than 750 degrees. Perfect for smoking a thick steak and adding a nice char. I was most suprised that grilling 350-700 worked so well without direct flame. Amazing grid marks and even heat distribution. the unconventional grates are one of my favorite features, easily cook vegetables and fish without them falling through. Ive smoked 5 racks of ribs and 5 pounss pork belly in one go without problem. This is well worth the extra money from some of the other mainstream pellet grills, this is a full blown replacement for your gas grill and smoker! Build quality is great and customer service was great when I called with some questions around maintenance. Best value for the quality and performance, i will have this for many years. Only thing that I didnt like was the shipping experience, my item arrived 2 weeks after the estimated delivery noted online. I likely would have bought local if I knew how misleading that was, but now that I have it I'm happy.
Purchased a grill and had a great experience with the whole experience. Would definitely recommend.
Great product, awesome prices.

Betting the Farm: Zynga Gives Its Top Facebook Game a Major Facelift
It's time for FarmVille to get a makeover.
FarmVille deserves recognition for its role in social gaming history. The three-year-old game, which has been played by 100 million people, was one of the first social games on Facebook to capture a mass audience.
Amazingly, after all this time, FarmVille continues to attract more than 18 million players a month, making it Zynga's sixth-most-popular game. It also brings in more revenue than any other Zynga title, accounting for 29 percent of the company's revenue in the second quarter.
As such an important brand to the company, it makes sense to experiment with creating sequels — which have become the lifeblood of the traditional videogame market. But for the same reasons stated above, it will also be a delicate balancing act. One false move may irritate a legion of players, who have invested thousands of hours and significant amounts of money in the original game.
What's more, Zynga desperately needs to prove right now that it can turn its past successes into franchises that will continue attracting players for many years to come.
Based on what I've seen in a brief online demo provided to me by the creative director and Zynga's VP of games, the new game has a shot.
FarmVille 2 looks and behaves differently from the original.
In the first iteration, users were motivated to return to harvest crops before they wither. Zynga's CEO Mark Pincus has famously talked about how its players were so passionate they'd set their alarm clocks to wake up in the middle of the night in order to plow their fields. But in the sequel, withering will not be a central theme.
In the sequel, there are much more realistic scenarios, including classic resource-management challenges. Players must make sure to have enough water to keep their crops alive, and must get fertilizer from the cows to make crops grow. To get eggs, you must feed your chickens; and to get milk, you must care for the cows.
The resources, including the eggs, milk, wheat and fruit from the trees, are then used in your farmhouse kitchen to make scones and other tasty treats that can be sold at your own roadside stand.
Instead of acting out some of these scenarios in solitude as in the original game, in FarmVille 2, the relationships on the farm are symbiotic — without one, the other is not possible.
"We wanted this very tactile and touchable experience," said Tim LeTourneau, Zynga's VP of Games. "We are embracing the technical advancements to make the screen come to life. The animals are fully animated and respond to your touch. You have a world that comes to life at your finger."
In other words, coins don't just fall out of the sky, LeTourneau said; you have to sell things in the market in order to earn them.
The game is also Zynga's first developed entirely in 3-D, thanks to Adobe Flash 11.
For instance, shirts and pants are pinned to a clothesline, where they sway in the wind; a rocking chair actually rocks; a campfire crackles and wind chimes jingle in the breeze. Navigation is also vastly improved, making the game far less tedious to play. Instead of having to click on each individual parcel of land to plant new seeds or water, users can click and drag the mouse around on the screen. The movement, which Zynga calls "painting," looks like a motion borrowed from a touchscreen, not a PC game. Additionally, to move different elements around on the board, far fewer actions are required. Now players must only right-click and drag.
The combination of better graphics and navigation results in much more active and fun game play. When relocating a cow from one side of the farm to another, the beast's eyes bulge in surprise while the animal is suspended in the air, like a several-ton animal undoubtedly would.
"They don't hate it, but they don't love it either," said Mike McCarthy, FarmVille 2's creative director.
But the game is not mind-blowingly different — it's still a game about a farm, as it should be.
Many of the tasks are the same in the two games, and even some of the colors and textures will be familiar. Still, the updates represent many positive changes that should attract some of the 100 million original FarmVille players — who have since retired their work gloves — back to the game.
Zynga is also sensitive to its original players, who are still playing the first FarmVille.
A year ago, it rolled out Mafia Wars 2, which pretty much put an end to the once very popular franchise. Original players of the game felt snubbed when the new version came out and it didn't live up to expectations. All the time they'd spent on the previous version ended up being a total waste.
LeTourneau, who joined Zynga from Electronic Arts where he worked on the long-standing Sims franchise, said they took that experience into account when developing FarmVille 2. "Although it's a sequel, it's not intended to replace FarmVille," he said. "It's not a continuation; it's a reimagining of FarmVille. We are taking advantage of all the things we've learned about social games, and using the technology that's available to create a new and different farming experience."
For original FarmVille fans, there will be no way to transfer your accomplishments from one game into the next. Instead, Zynga will keep that version alive by continuing to create content updates for the players who still like it.
One very noticeable difference between the two games is that while the original was about creating a sprawling farm, this one is about the attention to detail. In other words, bigger is not necessarily better. Instead of creating vast spaces to mass-produce more crops, this one is about nurturing each and every tomato and pumpkin. Mini-competitions within the game challenge players to see who can grow the largest crops, like the exhibits you see at county fairs. In this game, strawberries can hit 12 pounds, so imagine how big pumpkins can get.
But just when you may find that too tedious or claustrophobic, players can zoom out and see the countryside. There's a village off in the distance that's not available today, but promises additional subplots where you can meet friends, trade goods and visit carnivals and county fairs.
Lastly, this is still a social game, so if you are looking for something different in that regard, you won't find it here. There are still plenty of ties to your friends on Facebook. You can visit other friends' farms, where you can potentially find a final ingredient you may need to complete a recipe. Friends are also allowed to visit your farm, where they can be "Farm Helpers." Each action performed by a farm helper accelerates progress on the farm, including harvesting crops and feeding animals.
But most fun of all, it seems Zynga has learned a mechanic or two from more traditional videogames. At the end of each level, all of the players' crops grow instantly — with a big "pop," everything blooms. Not only is it a visually stimulating moment, it's one that players can strategize around to make sure everything is watered and planted to get the biggest bang possible.
"All of these games are about progression, and feeling the reward and success of that progress," LeTourneau said. "We want the level-up moment in the game to feel exciting."
FarmVille 2 is live today on both Facebook and Zynga.com, and will be available in 16 languages, unlike the original, which only launched in English. There are no immediate plans for a mobile version, but with painting motions included in the game play, it only seems like a matter of time before it rolls out on phones and tablets.

This is what I posted on my Facebook note, dated today, August 28, 2012.
Dear Ron Paul:
My name is Todd Andrew Barnett, and I'm the host of a talk radio show called Liberty Cap Talk Live on TalkShoe.com. It's a weekly show that becomes podcasted as soon as it goes off the air at 10 p.m. EST my time, although it airs precisely at 8 p.m. EST my time. It is currently on hiatus, and it will be back for its fourth season this upcoming November 10th. But that's not the topic of discussion which I wanted to speak with you. I am a former campaign supporter and activist who was involved in your presidential campaigns in 2007-2008 and 2011 and this year. Although I wasn't that actively involved in the campaign to the extent where I was hanging up signs every day to promote your cause, I did support you towards the end of last years as a Precinct Leader in the Michigan Ron Paul for President affiliate.
Earlier this year, just shortly prior to the primaries months ago (and that was this year at the end of winter/towards the beginning of spring), I was involved with several activists one day to canvass the neighborhood and urged residents, in the name of going door to door, to support your campaign at the height of the debates, especially while Newt Gingrich, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry were in the debates with you and the presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney (who will be anointed at the GOP convention in Tampa either today or tomorrow as I write this). Although I did this kind of activism for a day, it was too much for me to do, as I have diabetes and cirrhosis, and my legs tire out due to lack of consistent physical activity, and it was hard for me to keep up with the other people involved in my group in that neighborhood.
The reason I left the campaign at the state and national level, and I made my decision on here on Facebook at that point, is that I was unhappy with the way things were going. It seemed like the campaign was making great strides for liberty, at least it did to me for a time. You weren't winning in the straw polls (although it appeared to me that you were originally), you weren't winning at the caucus states, and you weren't winning in other primary states at all. Although it seemed like you were poised to win at the national level on the night of the primary election within the first 20 to 30 minutes, that began to change when the rest of the votes came in. My heart broke when you were losing. Everyone I knew believed that the voting was rigged, and, while I was parroting those talking points myself, I started to realize that you weren't really winning politically. Your ideas may be winning in the minds of some people who were starting to wake up, but I didn't think you were winning at all.I suspected for a while that something was up. And then when I saw Adam Kokesh's interview with Penny Langford Freeman on his show Adam Vs. The Man, I began to realize that the light bulb started to go off. I knew that Jesse Benton, your campaign manager, is mostly the reason why the campaign was failing across the board.
But this is what hurts me the most, Ron. This is what perturbs me and distresses me the most, and I find myself so confounded, so angry, so bitter, so cynical, and so resentful about the campaign now that it has finally come to the point where I must say this to you.
I've lost a lot of respect for you. You, sir, have failed me and the movement. You let me - a former Ron Paul supporter - down. I believed in you when I shouldn't have - twice in a row, especially when it should have been against my better judgment. But it didn't. And that is my fault. I shouldn't have given you a second chance, despite my inner voice telling me, "Don't do it. He's gonna let you down."
But I did it anyway. And I now wish I hadn't. I should've known better, should've listened to that voice warning me outrightly, but I must learn to live with those mistakes and move on. Now I realize that I am a better man admitting my frailties and my mistakes that I have made, and now I've learned not to trust so easily because of those experiences.
You've let me down for the following reasons:
Lew Rockwell and his connections to and involvement with the campaign. Lew Rockwell, Walter Block, and their own operatives at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and largely, Lew Rockwell.com are responsible for promoting your campaign and employing it to attack principled libertarians such as Wendy McElroy, Stefan Molyneaux, or any lover of liberty who has made open, critical remarks about you in the past, even though they have not done so this nearly-over campaign season.
Walter Block has attacked Wendy by slapping what is arguably a "litmus test" on whether she is a libertarian or not (in his piece, she's not one) on Lew Rockwell's website in an op-ed he wrote recently, dated December 11, 2011.
URL: http://lewrockwell.com/block/block188.html
Wendy's response came in a blog post on her website WendyMcElroy.com shortly after Block published his missive.
URL: http://www.wendymcelroy.com/comment.php?comment.news.4414
You could have stopped this by telling Block to back off from his attack, but you didn't, Ron. Wendy, yes, has criticized you in the past, but with good reasons, and I find it immensely impossible to argue against them. She has rightfully taken umbrage at your position on abortion, which she clearly spells it out while on the air on Stefan Molyneaux's podcast show Freedomain Radio (with Molyneux and fellow libertarian Brad Spangler on the phone as well).
Freedomain Radio Episode 953: The Anarchist RoundTable #1 features Wendy's position on abortion and her objections to you on the air as they are laid out.Podcast URL (from the Freedomain Radio Feed Burner at the FDR website (http://www.freedomainradio.com): http://media.freedomainradio.com/feed/FDR_953_Freedomain_Radio_The_Anarchist_Roundtable_1_Ron_Paul.mp3

iTunes URL to FDR feed: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/freedomain-radio-total-feed/id276675528?mt=2
Lew Rockwell has even been instrumental in covering up the racist newsletter ruckus by having direct influence on your campaign, and you allowed it to happen, Ron. I have it on good authority from a reliable source (the former Chair of the Republican Liberty Caucus who got wind of this information by a former legislative assistant of yours) that you were about to expose the newsletter controversy in a press release early on in your 2008 bid, but then Rockwell, as I understand it, told you that, if you released that press release and came forward with it, he would no longer support you, he would tell his allies not to support you, and your campaign would not have any backing (financially, politically, or otherwise) from him whatsoever. You proceeded to tear up that letter and disposed of it, and it has never reached the light of day. EVER.
Even though your former campaign staffer Eric Dondero has come out and attacked you on the newsletter controversy and your positions and even though I despise him ideologically and politically, he is right to point out the hint of anti-Semitism that has been part and parcel of your campaign for years, thanks in large part to Rockwell and his cronies. (I did initially reject that, and I have a Facebook group called Ron Paul Haters Watch, which contained some members responding to Dondero's attacks, but I later felt that his statements were correct, despite his anti-libertarian views in the grand scheme of things.)
Even globs of anti-abortion rhetoric has been a large part of your campaign, in which you have come out against abortion entirely because your religious beliefs drive your goal to outlaw them in a politically-charged sense.
Even Wendy McElroy has noted that you have sidestepped and used a "states' right" tactic, which I regard as a means for political expediency.
URL: http://www.wendymcelroy.com/news.php?item.964
Lew Rockwell and his Operatives' Positions Influencing You to Vote in Their Favor. You've allowed Rockwell and his operatives' political and ideological positions to influence you, to the point where you have used them as the basis for your positions on issues such as immigration and abortion. This is even true when you have voted on congressional matters relating to spending appropriations, the congressional budget, and other affairs that have become top priorities for Lew Rockwell.Even the immigration issue that you've taken on has been a major disappointment.
In August 2007, Liberty Magazine, once a subscription-based magazine (which is now free on its website), did a spotlight position on you. The writer of the piece, Bruce Ramsay, in which he said the following:
"The envelope of a Paul fundraising letter sent in early June says, "Time for a real conservative!" The four-page letter inside uses"conservative" 13 times, all on the first page or the last, and "libertarian" not once. It uses the term 'truly pro-American foreign policy' rather than 'noninterventionist,' and it does not mention that he is for withdrawal from Iraq. It does mention that he is for the Constitution, that he would withdraw from the United Nations and resist the push to a 'New World Order' and a 'North American Union.' It also says he considers illegal immigration 'an invasion.' It all sounds as if it were aimed at the readers of The New American."
Liberty's URL for a .pdf of the print issue can be found here.URL: http://www.libertyunbound.com/sites/files/printarchive/Liberty_Magazine_August_2007.pdf
Even you have made some various anti-immigration statements over the years, which have been collected and displayed in great detail at Issues2000.org.
URL: http://www.issues2000.org/tx/Ron_Paul_Immigration.htm
Lew Rockwell Using Your Campaign to Attack Libertarians Who Do Not Follow Your Ideology. Rockwell has allowed his stalwarts (such as Walter Block) to attack Jewish Libertarians like former LP member/now libertarian Republican Aaron Biterman who has taken you to task on your position on Israel. While I have disagreed with Biterman's actions regarding his successful attempts to sabotage three Ron Paul Facebook groups (and he has been attacked by various pro-Ron Paul elements for doing so), Ron does come off as anti-Israel (as opposed to anti-Israel's government or anti-corrupt Israeli government).
Here's evidence of Biterman's attack on pro-Paul groups supporting you.
URL: http://libertarianpeacenik.blogspot.com/2012/05/aaron-biterman-sabotages-ron-paul.html
Even your pal Rockwell has attacked Gary Johnson on his "Political Theatre" blog and his current blog LewRockwell.com. While it is true that Gary isn't ideologically pure, you are, Ron? You get a free pass, yet your competitor Gary gets slammed by your cohort Bob Wenzel (who is a sloppy interviewer) for not being libertarian enough.

URL: http://www.lewrockwell.com/politicaltheatre/2012/06/how-libertarian-is-gary-johnson/
If that's the game we need to play, fine. But it's a horrible game to play.
Lew Rockwell, His Compadres, and You Have Turned A Blind Eye to Jesse Benton and Trygve Olson's Actions In The Movement. Here's another horrible thought here, Ron. Rockwell, Block, and you have turned a blind eye to what Jesse Benton and Trygve Olson (a Republican plant who was brought in by Benton) have done to ensure that your son Rand will inherit your legacy and run for the presidency in 2016. That's what I find objectionable. That's what I find repulsive.
Thanks to Benton's outlandish behavior calling so many heartbroken and disillusioned Ron Paul supporters who have since Friday fled the Republican Party because the Maine GOP have plainly and successfully lobbied for the Ron Paul delegation not to seated in favor of voting for you, many of them will not come back. Many of them have quit altogether. Some have decided to join the Libertarian Party and support Johnson.
And where were you, Ron? Why didn't you publicly denounce it? Why did Benton call the attendees at your festival "ragamuffins" and "fringe"?
I've been told by a good source from the Republican Liberty Caucus that anything Jesse Benton does, you approve. Is that true? If it is, and if you approved of Benton's latest actions, then shame on you, sir. Shame on you for doing what you did. Many of those activists spent days, hours, and minutes pouring blood, sweat, and tears into your campaign, giving their time and money to you so that you can advance your most crucial cause. And what did they get in return? An outright dismissal. How appalling and repugnant! How arrogant and condescending! How smug and detestable!
There's more, but I think we all get the point.
In conclusion, Ron, I will no longer be supporting you. I am supporting Gary Johnson for President on the LP, despite his shortcomings.
I don't wish you any harm or the worst now that you are retiring in your golden years. But I do wish you will think of this: you blew it. You had an opportunity to win when you said you couldn't imagine yourself in the Oval Office, that you weren't running to win. And yet the libertarian movement has been corrupted.....because of you.
Goodbye, Dr. Paul. Enjoy your life and live it well. I, for one, will not miss it.
Please, I urge you not to run for 2016. It's time for you to let go and make your last years the best.
Sincerely and in Liberty,

It sounds straight out of a comic book: Scientists have figured out a way to inject gene-carrying nanoparticles into stem cells in order to make wounds heal faster. I'd get my superheroine costume ready if the method wasn't potentially cancer-causing.
The basic idea is to use nanoparticles to deliver a gene into stem cells which will "encourage new blood vessels to grow so that the tissue stays alive." The results in mice certainly do sound encouraging:
When the modified cells were injected into mice whose hind limbs had been injured, the tissue that regrew to repair the damage had three times the blood vessel density of similar tissue in mice given unmodified cells. Four weeks later, only 20 per cent of the mice given modified cells had lost limbs, compared with 60 per cent in mice that received unmodified cells
The trouble with injecting modified cells like this is that the effects seem to drop off after a period of time. Scientists are looking for other methods, such as using a virus to transmit the gene, but "the viral approach is not without risks–viruses can integrate into the genome of cells and linger permanently, potentially causing cancer or immune reactions." I guess I won't be dashing around town playing heroine anytime soon, but maybe they'll sort out the whole thing in a few generations. [Discover]


text: Hi everyone. I'm sitting here in cold Buffalo, NY right now waiting until I can take my 1983 XS650 out on the road once again. Does anyone own an XS on this board? I've been lurking for a real long time, and am curious to see what everyone else has got. I don't have any photos of mine yet, but will once it gets warmer out. This is something I'd like my XS to look like eventually.

Oh yeah! May 9th (or from what others have been stating but I haven't found listed: April 25th) heading to the 'Windy City'- Chicago to check out this city's native film-maker, Darryl Roberts documentary that has gotten plenty of accolades; and additional kudos from those who attended last week's IAEDP conference.
It's interesting that within the past year two male film-makers (perhaps more– feel free to share if you know) the other is Glenn Gers and his film: Disfigured (which a Cali friend of mine got to see during the film festival and loved) have dared to dig deeper into our culture's preoccupations within this topic– I say it's bloody fantastic and about time!
Join the caravan if you are able.

At Williams F1's UK headquarters, even the topiary is infused with petrolhead geekiness.
According to The Daily Mail, each six foot high mechanic working on the driverless car is made from two separate plants. The structure is from Italy:
An Italian nursery made the model for Ferrari but Williams bought it and had the shape of the car changed to reflect their own car design.
It took two-and-a-half years for the plants to weave around their metal frames and they are now completely covered.
Dear commenters: let a thousand jokes bloom!
