What 5 songs would you want to hear booming from the heavens as the world begins to blow up? Mine:

1. Asator – Amon Amarth
2. Godspeed Hell bound – Black Label Society
3. Valkarye’s ride – Amon Amarth
4. Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags – Amon Amarth
5. Under the Northern Star – Amon Amarth

Yeah, mine are pretty much all Amon Amarth songs. I think their music would fit the end of the world nicely.

You pretty much always see a few burning everyday over there. Where do they get all of these flags if they can’t even get a t-shirt without walking 50 miles? It seems like every extreme Islamist has a backup stash of 50 flags just in-case he/she needs to protest that day.

I was in my parents cleaning under the stairs. The stairs are in the part of the house from 1862. I found a brass metal that was so dusty that is was gray.
________________________________________
Front: A roman tunic with a spear in the middle. On the left there is a big cannon with 3 cannonballs on the ground and an American flag above the cannon. There is also an arrow between the flag and spear.
On the right side there is a smaller cannon on a stand with jugs below it. The flags has 2 crossing flags on it. Between the flag and the spear is a sword.
There is a banner on the top. It’s not touching anything and it says "THIS WE LL DEFEND"
On the bottom it has "1775" not touching anything in clear numbers.

Back: has " FOR MILITARY ACHIEVEMENT" in clear letters. Below the words there are 2 olive branches. The branches have 3 leaves and 3 olives on them.
The metal is an octagon and its made of brass .
This might not help but the metal was found in a house from 1862 in southern Louisiana.
________________________________________
What is the metal?

Any idea on where its from?

How much would it be worth?

Red Flags Up: Beware Of Fake Talent Agencies

For years, the modeling industry has been plagued with predators and con-men who pretend to be legitimate modeling agents and claim to have top model talent agencies; but in truth, victimize teenagers and con them out of thousand and even hundreds of thousands of dollars. These criminals have spent years perfecting their evil trade and these hapless teenagers are no match for their cunning.

These, so called, modeling agents feed your ego, vanity and need to get what they want. And once you’re victimized, the authorities can do little to help you recover what you’ve lost. Save yourself from the sting of being scammed by being able to identify the red-flags warnings when dealing with these fake modeling agents.

More often than not, these bogus model talent agencies will advertise heavily on television, radio, newspapers and the internet. These scammers will try to lure you by saying that they are conducting Screen Tests for commercials. Then, these fake model talent agencies will claim that they’re clients already appear in several national ads.

Once you bite into their alluring ads, one of their modeling agents will ask you for a prepaid fee for your “screen test”. After they conduct the screen test in a local hotel, they will ask you to buy a copy of the screen test for an additional fee.

The modeling agent will, then, tell you that you’ve passed the audition to lull you into a false sense of security. But almost immediately, the fake modeling agent will ask you for, yet, another set of fees for you to be part of the model talent agency’s introduction program. The modeling agent will claim that they have a high success rate of those who join the model talent agency’s induction program. The modeling agent may also claim that the model talent agency he works for is a member of some independent modeling association to keep your confidence up.

In the end, you never truly get anything worthwhile from all the fees you’ve paid and if you still haven’t given up hope by then, the bogus model talent agency will continue to bleed you for more. Demanding a refund is next to impossible too, since they’ve covered their misdeeds with waivers and receipts and the modeling agent will use these documents against any claim you make. Always be aware of these telltale signs of a scam.

Legitimate modeling agents never ask for up-front fees of any kind. And, real model talent agencies simply ask for casual snapshots of the model applicant. So, don’t let your excitement get the better of you; and always use your head.

AVOID Cash Gifting Scams-Cash Gifting Scams RED FLAGS

Cash King Frank Poretta, Leading The Wise To Wealth

You hear a lot about cash gifting scams but the reality is there are unskilled cash gifting mentors that are trying to pass themselves off as cash gifting experts that make cash gifting appear more like a total scam than it really is. Unfortunately, they have bought into an automated system and somehow that makes them feel like they are an expert because they think they have all they need in this automated back office system but in reality it has little to do with true cash gifting marketing for targeted leads. The fact remains that back office tutorials and training will never replace being trained by a skilled internet marketing savvy cash gifting mentor. These people create the cash gifting scams mystique because people get let down when the support is not there because the inviter just points them back to the flawed automated system and say’s it’s all there and neglects supporting you properly. You can certainly avoid cash gifting scams by asking the right questions and staying clear of these automated systems. I’m not saying I do not use some really high end software for me and my members to use which makes things a lot easier but the tricks of the trade are not in the software, believe me it’s not. So this is a good way to approach choosing a cash gifting program by making sure they make the personal 1 on 1 training first and the automation last.
The majority of these cash gifting programs themselves are not trying to scam anyone however if the cash gifting program does not take 1 on 1 coaching seriously then you will end up feeling prey to a cash gifting scams and or scammed in the end due to lack of support. It’s not a cash gifting scams but it certainly feels like you have been scammed. I know this for a fact because I have joined several cash gifting programs years back in which the cash gifting mentor did not provide much support other than give me what I like to call busy work. Cash gifting scams can be explained as single individuals putting up a site and taking people’s money and only providing them with a website and no support because they themselves have never been trained so they prey on people that need a lot of help and haven’t done much investigation on the cash gifting program itself.
Cash gifting scams like these are very easy t spot because the inviter cannot prove to you that the programs has been around for awhile and some very basic internet marketing question will stump them. Also, they are typically fast talkers and brag about how well they are doing which is a major red flag. Remember, you should never feel like someone is trying to sell you because that is not how cash gifting is supposed to work and this is a tell tale sign of cash gifting scams. Cash Gifting scams are either really cheap to gift into or very expensive and there is a difference between. The really cheap ones have no support and the automated system is very outdated and you will learn no tricks or quality marketing tactics. Now, the really expensive are also cash gifting scams because they give the sense that more is better and that you can receive larger sums of cash making seem very attractive. But, these programs take a lot of selling to convince someone to fork up 6k or more and cash gifting should not have to be sold. These types of cash gifting scams give cash gifting a really bad reputation but cash gifting does work and with some elbow grease and the right cash gifting program and mentor you can avoid cash gifting scams completely and become a success.
