The Great Flaw of the News Media

The news media is fundamentally flawed in it's own nature.

I don't know if they actually do "live polls", but the concept stays the same.



Also, don't miss Al Qaeda's comments on the 9/11 conspiracy theories:

Do Want: Settlers of Catan

The game has rapidly become popular in part because its mechanics are relatively simple, while its dynamics are quite complex.[3] The game is well suited for family play, since no one gets eliminated, and players who are behind can strive towards goals that are within their reach.

Gameplay

The players in the game represent the eponymous settlers, establishing a colony on the previously uninhabited island of Catan. The island itself is composed of hexagonal tiles ("hexes") of different land types which are laid out randomly at the beginning of each game. Numbered tokens are then placed on each of the tiles, except for one desert hex.[4]

Starting with two settlements and adjoining road sections, players build roads, settlements, and eventually cities as they settle the island. Roads are built along the edges of the hexes, and settlements at the corners; no two settlements may be built on adjacent corners. Positioning of roads and settlements allows a player to deny other players access to essential resources, and good building is one route to victory.[3]

Each turn, a roll of the two dice determines which hexes produce resources. Production of resources (clay, lumber, wool, grain, and ore) is the main random element in the game. Normally, players with settlements adjacent to those hexes receive resource cards of the appropriate type, with cities yielding more resources. However, if the dice roll is 7, the "robber" token must be moved to a different hex. This allows the player to prevent that hex from producing resources and to steal a resource card from another player.

The resource cards can be spent to build more roads or settlements, upgrade settlements to cities, and to obtain development cards for later use; or they can be stored for trade or later use. When a seven is rolled, players with eight or more stored resources lose half their stored resources, making the choice of whether to build or store resources a difficult one.

Players are allowed to trade among each other the resources they have produced, and to trade "off the island" for a hefty price. By building settlements in certain positions, players may obtain better off-island trading prices. Bad luck in the game can be mitigated by trading, and trading is the main method of player interaction in the game; astute trading is another route to victory.[3] If a player is winning, other players may refuse to trade with him or her; this allows them to catch up with the leader.
A game of giant Settlers of Catan being played at Gen Con Indy 2003. This is one of many Settlers of Catan custom extra-large boards seen during demonstrations and tournaments at Gen Con.

A player receives a victory point for each settlement built, and another for each settlement upgraded to a city. Various other achievements, such as establishing the longest road or building the largest army, grant a player additional victory points. The victor is the first player to possess ten victory points on his or her turn.

There is no combat. Players may harm each other by moving the robber, refusing to trade, cutting off building routes, taking the "longest road" and "largest army" cards, and using certain development cards. The layout of the board and restrictions on building allow for a player to be boxed in through poor play or bad luck. Also, given the random component of the board layout, it is possible for a player to gain a monopoly on a certain resource, then demand steep trade rates from the other players. Home games generally take between one and two hours to complete.

Teuber's original design was for a large game of exploration and development in a new land.[5] Between 1993 and 1995 Teuber and Kosmos refined and simplified the game into its current form. Unused mechanics from that design went on to be used in Teuber's following games, Entdecker and Löwenherz. The game's first expansion, Seafarers of Catan, adds the concept of exploration, and the combined game (sometimes known as "New Shores") is probably the closest game to Teuber's original intentions.

Thirteen terribly weird facts about women from english.pravda.ru

It is generally believed that the difference between men and women is enormous. Women and men differ in almost every imaginable aspect of human life, especially when it comes to psychology.

	Men and women can never combine (beautyanalysis.com)
	BREAKING NEWS America declines into Marxism
	Adriana Lima, Brazilian beauty More...

A woman does not have a man’s habit to scratch her noggin when she thinks of an answer to a confusing question, for example. Women doe not like to show they are confused. They never want to ruin their hairdo with that gesture either.

Women will never understand why footballers stand in a line with their hands crossed before a penalty kick during a match. In addition, women never shudder when a male character gets kicked in the groin in a movie.

When a woman yawns she covers her mouth with the palm of her hand, not with a fist.

After taking a bath, a woman grabs a towel and makes a turban on her head from it, at least for one minute. The reasons of such a weird Oriental ritual are unknown.

A woman does not get mad when her underwear gets stuck between her buttocks. Women joyfully wear those items of torture called bikinis.

Many women worry about their looks when having sex.

Women open bottles with bottle openers.

A woman feels awkward if she does not carry anything in her hands. That is why they always carry their handbags around.

Women are absolutely indifferent to their genitals; they hardly know each other. Women do not talk to them, they do not give funny nicknames to them and they never get angry with them.

Sitting down in public transportation, women keep their legs together. That is why men often prefer to sit next to a woman because in this case they can sit spread-eagle.

If a woman finds her fly unzipped in a public place, she does not seem to care too much about it.

When a woman dresses up to go out, she puts on a blouse first. Pants come second. Men work it vice versa.

Finally, when an act of love ends, women do not feel like sleeping. They feel like talking and kissing.

My Theory on What Dark Energy Is

It's the 3 dimensional "stretching effect" that happens when a 3 dimensional world lives inside a 4 dimensional world that is expanding.

This works perfect when compared to a "2 dimensional" model of how the universe expands -- put dots on a balloon. As you blow into the balloon the dots will move away from each other and expand. The surface of the balloon is 2 dimensional, where the stretching affect is achieved by the expansion of the 3 dimensional balloon.

So, if the universe is a mere 3 dimensional surface / plane ... inside / surfacing / a part of a 4 dimensional reality... as the reality expands, so does the universe. It's been shown that gravity can't pull the universe back together because of an invisible force called "dark energy" that is stronger than the gravity that pulls everything together, causing the universe to expand at an ACCELERATING RATE. The universe is PROVEN to be EXPANDING at an ACCELERATING RATE.

Let's go back to the balloon -- would the dots ACCELERATE away from each other as more stretching occurred?

What about when we consider that the 4th dimension is NOT commonly thought of as "spacial", but is actually TIME. A dimension, after all, is a strait line that connects with points -- and time is a line that connects to all three dimensions perfectly. Time is what allows the three "space dimensions" to move, and movement controls time (at light speeds, time runs much slower, which has been proven by particles in the atmosphere that couldn't possibly make it down to earth before dissipating - but since they travel past the speed of light, time moves slowly enough to allow them to get much farther than they could if time were a constant.)

If TIME is the 4th dimension, not space, this would explain why time always runs forwards. In physics, time can run forward or backward without any problem. But time always runs forwards. This is because the 4 dimensional universe is expanding -- if it were shrinking, time would run backwards... all the way to creation itself.

Thus, my theory is that dark energy is a very different force than anything single force we know of - more like, what happens to all the forces / elements when stretched 4 dimensionally.

It seems you have been leading two lives, Mr. Anderson. In one life, you are Robert Anderson, assistant cook at a Jack in the Box in Mesquite....in the other...you go by the chat alias "Randerson"...spreading homosexual propoganda, lying, and being a generally immature pest...

One of these...has a future.

LMAO OMFG where's the phone, I have to tell Dean about this

How can you use the phone when you cannot...speak?

*** AgentSmith sets mode: +m

so I was with my friend bryan the other night in a bar

well he got really drunk and said he was gonna puke

so i helped him walk to the toilet

all the stalls were occupied

lol

bryan is a rugby player... so a big guy

so he fucking KICKS one of the stall doors open

and there's this guy in there taking a shit

hahahahahaha

and bryan throws up ALL OVER HIM

then (this is genius) bryan thinks 'oh shit... if i were taking a shit and someone came in and was sick all over me, i'd want to fuck him up... so i'd better hit him first'

so he fucking SMACKS this guy in the face

and runs away

imagine being that guy... WORST NIGHT OUT EVER

I helped the EMTs at a car wreck and got blood all over my arms and shirt. It looked like I murdered 20 people with a fork... anyway, I walked into a convieniance store down the street and said my girlfriend needs a tampon. The guy at the counter was mortified.

The other night my friend had some pot and wanted me to smoke it with him, but we had nowhere to smoke it because both our parents were home.

So we drove around looking for a place to park so we could smoke in the car.

We eventually settled on a Wendys parking lot..

The logic is all there...

I know, it was a ridiculous idea. We were just desperate and that was the first place to pull off..

So we park in the back of the parking lot under this tree, and it's dark out, so we figure we're secluded enough. We start to light up and a cop pulls in. So we both sit really still and hope the cop will think the car is empty and just parked there. Or that he won't notice.

The cop circles the parking lot once, then parks behind us and we're both freaking out. So Bobby, my friend, takes all the pot and shoves it in the glove compartment. But the car smells like pot, so we figure we're busted.

So Bobby says we've gotta distract the cop from the pot. In a huge flash, he rips his shirt off, undoes my pants and sticks his hand inside. Before I can process what's happening, the cop knocks on my window. Then he looks in and sees Bobby shirtless, with his hand down my pants and turns bright red.

I roll my window down and the cop says in this really flustered voice, his face bright red, "you guys be good now" and walks quickly back to his car and drives off.

He didn't even notice the smell of pot.

We drove home in the most uncomfortable fucking silence ever.

COMPETITIVE SALARY
Most of our competitors don't pay much either.

"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY"
We have no time to train you.

"CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE"
You'll be here very late, very often -- might as well be comfortable.

"MUST BE DEADLINE-ORIENTED"

"DUTIES WILL VARY"
Anyone in the office can boss you around.

"MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL"
We have no quality control.

"CAREER-MINDED"
Female applicants must be childless.

"APPLY IN PERSON"
If you're old, fat or ugly, that position has already been filled.

"NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE"
This job listing is just a legal formality. The position was filled by some executive's nephew.

"SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE"
Due to consolidation, you'll be replacing three people.

"PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST"
This company is a total mess.

"REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS"

Unhappy With Obama (title changed)

I'm thinking about making this into a video and submitting it to Anonymous and other places while getting it's views up on youtube as a little side project. (Note: I will NOT be doing this due to how Obama has been treating others who do this. I don't want it on my permanent record.)

My problems with Obama...

He's flushing our country down the toilet.

Trillions put into the economy INCORRECTLY

CONTROLLING THE MEDIA / His Image to keep his approval rating above 60% despite everything I'm about to point out...

DESTROYING our CIA

Letting terrorists get unfair US trials.

BEING A SLAVE TO THE LIBERAL AGENDA WITHOUT CONSIDERING ANY!! UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES

Re-distributing bankrupted company wealth to the poor, STEALING Crystler's shares from those who owned them, recklessly breaking the law to give to the union and retired employees.

Breaking Many Laws and DECREEing "it's the right move"... when clearly, government fails at capitalism and it's NOT THE RIGHT MOVE.

Bailing out companies that end up going bankrupt.

Heading us towards bankruptcy while declaring that we're "heading out of it" EVEN THOUGH 1000 ECONOMISTS PUT TOGETHER A PETITION SAYING THAT WE ARE NOT...

AND HE COMPLETELY IGNORED IT = He's surrounded by politicians and serves their agenda without even considering what the nature of the situation is.

Pushing over all opposition, all "other ideas", DECREEING the way it is because he's the president so gosh darn it that means he's right.

Completely ignoring and belittling the Republicans despite claiming previously that he wanted to bring the parties together.


Giving loads of money to the poor... when it's obvious to any economist that this is bad for the economy.

Passing liberal bills that would have never passed in a checks and balances system.

Giving bailouts to all the companies that his cabinet is connected to.

Destroying the country I love in less than a 100 days...

So honestly, if you ask me how I feel... this is going to be REALLY HARSH... Obama is a Dictator and the US system of Checks and Balances is being systematically taken over.

You can't play boy king in the most powerful position in the world and expect nothing to happen. It's time someone spoke up and got on his case.

Since we're looking largly into the "anonymous" community of the internet, which STARTED as nearly 100% hackers and geeky teenagers (who don't even reveal so much as a screen name)... some of this stuff is pretty brutal, while some of it is universally funny.

THE LINK BELOW (but not the other sites) IS NOT RECOMMENDED if the joke of "putting a kitten in a microwave" really pisses you off (note, that's not exactly what all this is / what I like...

The First REAL Step into Age 2

Knowing what I say BEFORE I say it and so I DONT naturally think about what I said after I say it (not self aware [state builder])

Age 1 was becoming congruent – largely inspired to be called into distinction as an Age by the “Post Trish but not done with her yet” period, which climaxed with an email (for me) and in person (for her).

Step 1 is now taking that congruence and using it to eliminate probably my largest curse – a field of thinking that was never developed, the unconscious competent think-in-a-strait-line ability that I'm yet to even be able to distinguish decently.

I use self awareness to fight off the douchbaggery that comes with always rolling forward, a combination of focus-switching that repeats itself habitually in social situations which makes me more insecure & negative or “no” (asshole / jerk / brown nose / etc).

Insecure because of the self awareness state... ('cuz it's natural? can't go offensive etc)

Negative because I don't know if what I'm about to say has

un-intended consequences.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and careful observation of the right data, can show me how to experience and develop the introverted-thinking I need to get rid of the Negative, and DYD has everything I need to get rid of the Insecurity.

...

dammit mom i have the house to MYSELF for once don't come back here for your goddamn 3 hour lunch break (i really hope this doesn't last 3 hours, cuz it's only been 10 minutes and you can already see the damage it's done to my brain...)

What I don't want my show to be like

This:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZY3gTxI-IU

It sounds kind of like an sxephil rip and fails to answer "why do i care about your show?"

Instead, consider doing what sxephil, ApprenticeA, and MysteryGuitarMan all did: Make shows less frequently, but amazingly to get 5 star ratings and lots of subscribers up front. Then more people will be open to the concept of a show but still... I have a feeling there's two continuums to be revealed... the fact that a great show will always do way better through the course of time (like dear archilles) and the fact that when you're as big as sxephil it really just doesn't matter so much any more.

And of course, the most important fact of them all is your keywords and how much they sound like the kind of headlines that top rank at digg.com (thx you john reeses)

Cause and Effect

THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS "YOU ARE NOT AT CAUSE IN THIS AREA"

The solution has to do with "Becoming at Cause": This sets a framework for building a solution if you make the area and the requirements distinct

Success Guarenteed

I am happy to be able to make this announcement to the future: My success is now officially guaranteed. I will, without a doubt, be bringing in $50,000 a month within a few years.

I predicted that I'd start making money online, and that one came true, but that was out of pure commitment to the task. This prediction includes that, but is also more solid...

The three reasons my success is GUARANTEED:

1. Obviously, my level of commitment is there. If I lose it, I lose my guarentee.
2. My conversion system will use split-testing to continuously improve, so even if I don't yield profit from PPC right away, I can send free traffic at it to improve conversion ratios.
   
3. The vault provides me with endless traffic sources. I'm downloading gigs and gigs from the vault's Net:Traffic search, just in case I can't get at that information later.

If you feel trapped, I will free you soon enough! Help me speed things along if you want to hear freedom ring just a little bit sooner...

A conversation with alex (Networking Concept Raw + Predictions)

James: did that thing match you at all?

alex: I've still got a few more pages to read, but I love it

James: awesome

sounds so you

if you replace everything SEO with networking

alex: I can definitely connect with the guy

James: there's a whole world of networking

and the goal is leverage

you dont really want to network much yourself

you just want to post, talk to some people about it, and get the viral benefits

THATS leverage, because you can do that over and over and sometimes you'll get really big results, despite getting very little attention in the majority of things you do

alex: your making me want to drop out of school and pursue new dreams

STOPP

haha

James: lolol

alex: just kidding

James: actually, im exploring the idea

been networking all day, exploring the concept of leverage with networking

kinda stems from that interview cuz he did that with SEO

alex: im listening to the audio right now

to reinforce

the article

James: but networking is becoming huge i just need to figure it out

lol, nice, though that might be overkill. always spend your time on only the best of the best

alex: what does seo stand for

James: search engine optimization

doesn't really apply to you

ive tested this

couldn't get your blog to rank for anything when it had pr2, even things i was dead sure it would rank for

so if you can achieve what he achieved using NETWORKING LEVERAGE, I think that would work

and the legacy of the social networking challenge continues...

alex: hahah

Sent at 12:40 PM on Saturday

alex: whats the whole deal with

"linking"

James: ok, so, linking = a link's text tells google what the page is about (like a vote) and a link's authority (what page rank it comes from and how well it relates) tells google what significance the vote has

but here's the thing

MY LINKS BRING IN MORE TRAFFIC THAN ALL MY VIDEOS COMBINED, AND I ONLY HAVE A FEW WELL PLACED LINKS

about.com and a couple of the forums in particular

so that's how that applies to you

cuz the SEO just anit worth it to you UNLESS you can find a political niche

but usually that's thought of as your opinion... we're talking words

like there's a lot of stuff on nutrition, a lot of stuff on anti-aging, but not much on anti-aging nutrition... that's a niche withing nutritional health

alex: oooo

James: within

alex: so I don't need to worry about adsense

yet

James: well adsense is how you make money

so, of course not

i think that interview kind of drives that point home

alex: yeah

James: if i cared about money i'd be making about $1000 / month right now, pretty much guarenteed

but i dont. i care about becoming a millionaire

so im still only making $100 a month... and instead im working on my conversion systems and ad's for PPC hardcore

so i can then split test my way right to the top

can't do that with shitty advertising

drains all the money, even $1000 a month

alex: dang

James: i find it funny when im networking because only dennis karganilla gets the big stuff so far

everyone else, my superiors in the feild, they don't know what they're doing or they do but they're very much in the box with it

=D

but we'll see..... im talking too soon

alex: never!

your going to dominate them

James: lol

hold on.. posting this convo to jamesmontague.blogspot.com lol

A douche is basically someone who acts in a way without account to what it looks like, and it just isn't right. Education like Landmark will train us not to care about what others think, when in reality, it's only MOST situations in which not caring is helpful.

In the longer-term type stuff, you should care about what people think, because there's reasons WHY they think what they do. For example, being cool is in general, a really good thing, because it smoothens friction created by our human mind when something isn't cool. We love for things to flow. If you're being a douche bag in any way, it'd be a great thing to know about it so you can stop.

Think Different

Think Different

(Apple Computer Ad Campaign)

From Fellow 20-year-old Entrepreneur: http://bigben.blogs.com/website/index.html


Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

What is Landmark?

This is just some masterminding I did on youtube. Here's the guys response. BTW, I didn't say anything about science, he took it out of context, but he brings up some words that have VERY solid truth behind them.

"Science? I must say I didn't see much science there - it was a mixture between common sense, buddhism, oversimplified "mind engineering" lingo [NLP] and group consciousness phenomena. There are loopholes and contradictions in what they present that make you feel like you didn't understand everything yet, but it's a self-contained word architecture, there is no solution- the concepts are dangerous and slippery.Look at Buddhist meditation as comparison. I do admit it has pushed me in a new directions."

Landmark supporters, don't flip out - dangerous is good. But not when it goes wrong. I just know landmark doesn't have to ruin lives like it does with psychosis cases and sucking in volunteers and minimum wage workers. The information is great, but the system is corrupted. You don't know how much I've investigated into DISPROVING that statement... but it definitely accumulates to over 100 hours now.

Worst State Ever

I've heard shitty things about Arizona and intolerance before, plus, they're one of the most hardcore anti-marijuana states in the country. Not that I can really judge Arizona, but still, I naturally sense that douchbags come from Arizona.

They want to lock a 8 year old up for killing his abusive father. The police really believe that's the right thing to do, even though the judge won't approve it. If they really *got* that absolutely everything has a perfectly good reason behind it (find something that doesn't, and I'll show you WHY it happened anyways), they probably wouldn't be able to live with themselves as police officers.

Well, scratch that, just because it has a reason doesn't mean you don't enforce the consequences. From the perspective, I'd say cops have the most noble of jobs. But, these cops sure anit the noblest - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27600105/

A Book Called "Thought Reform" Outlines Brainwashing

Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism

In the book, Lifton outlines the "Eight Criteria for Thought Reform":

1. Milieu Control. This involves the control of information and communication both within the environment and, ultimately, within the individual, resulting in a significant degree of isolation from society at large.

2. Mystical Manipulation. There is manipulation of experiences that appear spontaneous but in fact were planned and orchestrated by the group or its leaders in order to demonstrate divine authority or spiritual advancement or some special gift or talent that will then allow the leader to reinterpret events, scripture, and experiences as he or she wishes.

3. Demand for Purity. The world is viewed as black and white and the members are constantly exhorted to conform to the ideology of the group and strive for perfection. The induction of guilt and/or shame is a powerful control device used here.

4. Confession. Sins, as defined by the group, are to be confessed either to a personal monitor or publicly to the group. There is no confidentiality; members' "sins," "attitudes," and "faults" are discussed and exploited by the leaders.

5. Sacred Science. The group's doctrine or ideology is considered to be the ultimate Truth, beyond all questioning or dispute. Truth is not to be found outside the group. The leader, as the spokesperson for God or for all humanity, is likewise above criticism.

6. Loading the Language. The group interprets or uses words and phrases in new ways so that often the outside world does not understand. This jargon consists of thought-terminating clichés, which serve to alter members' thought processes to conform to the group's way of thinking.

7. Doctrine over person. Member's personal experiences are subordinated to the sacred science and any contrary experiences must be denied or reinterpreted to fit the ideology of the group.

8. Dispensing of existence. The group has the prerogative to decide who has the right to exist and who does not. This is usually not literal but means that those in the outside world are not saved, unenlightened, unconscious and they must be converted to the group's ideology. If they do not join the group or are critical of the group, then they must be rejected by the members. Thus, the outside world loses all credibility. In conjunction, should any member leave the group, he or she must be rejected also[1].

He's describing something extroverse!!!!

Scientology: 1/8 Jason Beghe Interview from Mark Bunker on Vimeo.

Must watch all of these

Scientology is the Foundation For Landmark

First 1:25 of this clip reveals how landmark spawned from scientology, and how the "technology" behind landmark may have "not existed" prior to landmark, but the ideas sure fucking did, and everything BUT the specific "technology" of distinctions landmark has... which is very doubting... DID exsist.

Important Statement of the Integrety, Congruence, and Progression in the field of Science of Thoughts

The Difference between self help / science of thoughts and PSYCHOLOGY is in how they approach the same variables. IT'S A FRAME OF MIND.

This is why Scientology rejects psychology, and also explains why I dislike psychology so much - because I'm all about SELF help (he explains the concept of it being focused on self in the beginning and throughout.)

Scientology has made some major advances in a whole array of fields, but unfortunately, L. Ron was a foolish fiction writer and told everyone he spoke the truth. I don't even believe in truth. It's a relative ideal. Everything I progress on is just that - progress, distinctions usable as tools with real science, like statistics & proven psychology, that backs up the research.

So Scientology failed harshly thanks to L. Ron basically fucking with a bunch of people because it made him happy. Let it be said that everything in science of thought is accepted by at least 95% of all professionals in psychology and other brain sciences as proven science.

So what's important now is to use the tools of Scientology, stripping them from their context and reforming them in science of thoughts.

And NLP

And dig into hypnosis, meditation, buddism

And Landmark & Neoscience

And everything & anything else, which can only be done in a way that gets the ball rolling in a way that makes it stuck to that exact context.

What Episode of Battlestar was this from?

This just seems incredibly funny to me because I'm sure the scene it's making fun of was extremely cheesy.

It was Dark in the Theater!

It's not the usual school run - flying 109ft, over 15 motorcycles and through a giant fireball before crashing to earth. But driver Steve Hudis was delighted to break a world record in his yellow bus at this stunt filmed in Las Vegas.
