Well, it has been a couple of years since my inaugural debut into the world of the Art of Charm. I am a huge fan of the Pick up Podcast, and it's apparent to me that these guys are coming from a completely unique, genuine, & innovative perspective. Other "gurus" seem to focus mainly on superficial, outer game with concentration on lines, mind tricks, & borderline verbal abuse. Conversely, the AoC comes from a generous mixture of social prominence, impenetrable inner game, and most importantly…value. With the AoC leading you, everything else becomes secondary.
Before my participation in the Houston boot camp in May of '08, I felt like I was sufficiently experienced with my outer game and relatively together with my inner game. I had literally studied for years with other guru materials with middling success. And that's when the AoC blew my sh!t out of the water. They were able to demonstrate how the game is supposed to be played.
The biggest game changer for me that weekend was Johnny's direct opener. In my mind, the "direct opener" was always considered a myth in the Pick up world. Sure, it might work for a guru with extensive experience, but nobody else would be dumb enough to try it. Well, boys and girls, this is where the legend becomes a reality. Hands down, this technique became my most effective weapon against approach anxiety and trying to think of the "perfect" opener.
Naturally, the boot camp itself was effective, and with the almost 1-1 instructor to student ratio, it seemed like you were getting a custom tailored program to identify and correct any weakness in your game in real time. After one of our theory sessions, Jordan personally took me aside and meticulously helped me identify the vast majority of my insecurities, and developed a plan for me to systematically mitigate them.
Ultimately, the best advantage of the AoC, comparative to other programs, is the relationship that you build. These guys are sincerely committed to your success, whereas I've experience that most other programs perceive you as just another customer. I hung out at their extraordinary New York office in the Financial District a year and a half ago, where the guys introduced me to Entourage and, last year, Johnny came out to Houston for a visit, where he and the former students went out for the night.
To this day, I am incessantly using the life-changing material that was taught to me over 2 years ago. I often find myself quoting the instructors and coaches on topics like confidence, social engineering, and value to my friends, family, co-workers, and my wife.
Yep, you read that right. My transformation has been so successful that I was finally able to meet an amazing woman, and we've been married for almost six months now. I knew that the principles of the AoC had been instrumental in my success with one specific comment that my wife made to me that night. Within an hour of meeting me and observing my social interactions with several of our mutual friends, she said, "Everybody here seems to REALLY LIKE you".
Game on!!!
Chris – Houston, TX
The crew at the Art of the Charm is the real deal. While other programs seemed more than a little bit inauthentic, the AoC Crew seemed genuinely interested in helping men become better at meeting women but also helping men to be able to go after what they want in all parts of their lives.
My workshop in NYC was hands down one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I can't tell you how many times I've been in situations since then where I'd have to tell myself, "So… that happened," like being the stripper pole for bachelorette party at a NYC club. True story. (All credit of the phrase "So… that happened" due to my boy Jeff W. from the NYC workshop. Thanks, buddy!)
You owe it to yourself to meet the guys and judge for yourself how real they are and how they can help you become the amazing person that you want to be socially, financially, and emotionally.
Seriously, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me at [phone number removed]
Earle R- New York, NY
I both love it and hate it, I was almost late for class this morning from flirting. At the mall it was just like "damn another hot chick whose day I get to make" I've learned to go to class earlier after today lol
Kurtis H – Windsor, Ontario
I've taken a lot of programs in this field, and The Art of Charm program is top-of-the-line. The curriculum, instructors and overall value are nothing short of superb.
This was the best investment I've ever made in my entire life.
Neil G – New York, NY
The Art of Charm is a great group of guys (and girls) who want to make you a better person. For me, this program has changed my life; not just in interactions with women, but my overall outlook for the future. You will become more confident, more charming, and most importantly, a happier person.
Aldrin A – Boston, MA
The Art of Charm program was a life-changing experience that I will never forget. The program is about way more than just picking up women. Instead, it is about being an awesome person all-around, and I can not say enough about the hospitality and value of everyone in the AoC crew. I'm just sad it had to end.
Andrew B – Boston, MA
If you're feeling like you're on the verge of great change and want to refine, streamline and focus your life and goals, this is the place for you.
Brett M – New York, NY
The Art of Charm changed me in ways I did not think possible. When I signed up for the program I was trying to be realistic about what could be accomplished, but they completely blew that out of the water and helped me conquer fears that I have been struggling with for my entire life.
Brian H – Los Angeles, CA
The curriculum gave me a whole new outlook on life. This is the best thing I have done in a long while. They run sh!t. And now, so do I! I will be forever grateful and keep the AoC crew in my heart 'til the end of days.
David C – Frankfurt, Germany
The Art of Charm program was definitely worth it. I got a great mindset for daily growth. I truly got great results.
David M – New York, NY
Not only did the information given in class go above and beyond anything I could imagine, but the instructors were hands-down the most devoted people I have ever met. They were genuine mentors and their genuine desire to help me improve was amazing. I know I will continue to improve for a long time, as I have so much more knowledge to internalize.
Eddy R – New York, NY
To say that this program was 'life-changing' would be an injustice. I feel a sense of empowerment that I never thought possible, I'm excited for continuous growth, and I'm not longer reliant on knowledge gleaned from the internet. I'm confident that I can fulfill my purpose in life and help others do the same.
Ed W – New York, NY
The only thing better than my AoC program was my 2nd AoC program. My growth has been exponential.
Ehren R – Seattle, WA
I've come so far in such a short time, I barely recognize the old me. I know I'll never again fall back into the patterns of insecurity that were ingrained in me for so long.
Eric K – Boston, MA
The Art of Charm is, quite simply, incredible people making people incredible.
Kris B – Seattle, WA
Unlike other professional-development companies I've worked with, The Art of Charm improved my core confidence and social skills without loosing who I am. The classes & curriculum is easy to understand and goes deep into details based on what each student needs. My first assessment night, after few pointers, I got instant attraction like I never know existed.
Not only my dating life improved, but my social circle. I use the skills at work, in meetings, presentations and for networking. My social circle has increased tenfold.
The guys at AoC are genuine and want to help you. So get off your ass and give them a call.
Pas N – New York, NY
I've taken [another bootcamp from a competing company] and there's no competition. No comparison. The Art of Charm has gone so far beyond that in every way that it would be a laborious attempt to explain why. I've now got a clear understanding of my goals, a map that will get me there, and the confidence to embark on the journey.
Eric T – Seattle, WA
The knowledge, focus and control that I've gained in this program will be applied to every single aspect of my life.
Juan G – Vineland, NJ
I came to The Art of Charm to get better with women, and that happened. I was really shocked to find that it also led me to my true self.
Joel D – New York, NY
In this economy, if you're going to invest in something, invest in yourself! Thanks to The Art of Charm, I'm happier now than I've ever been.
Sean H – New York, NY
Jordan and crew are the bomb when it comes to the business. What business is that? The business of dating, attracting, and living.
The Art of Charm builds better men…trust me on this one. If you are not a self-help guru with a dating coach background, you have something to learn from these guys. Girls too.
Want to get better with women? Call them. Want to get better with life? Call them. Want to get better in business, they can help with that too!
E.O. – San Francisco, CA
My weekend with The Art of Charm was the most meaningful weekend of my life.
Schlomo G– Chicago, IL
The Art of Charm program will teach you how to bring the best out of yourself and those around you, and, at the same time, have a lot of fun learning how to do so.
Joe M– Manchester, UK

Ryan H – Washington, DC

Robert N – Boston, MA
If you want to shatter your limiting beliefs and create amazing relationships with everyone around you, take this class. If you want crazy Jedi powers to get anything you want in life, take this class.
Peter L – New York, NY
Even if you already know everything, take this program anyway. It'll make you SO much better!
Gavin J – London, England
Beyond meeting women, The Art of Charm teaches a lot about improving yourself, your outlook, and your social skills. Regardless of what you learn, it's really frickin' fun!
Peter C – Ottawa, Canada
I would recommend The Art of Charm program to everyone! It's helped me see the true value in my life.
Mike W– Omaha, NE
Without a doubt, AJ and Jordan changed my life forever. I used to be an insecure, socially awkward guy. The mere thought of approaching a beautiful woman would get my heart racing so fast I could hear my own pulse. Step by step however, they led me through a journey of self discovery, which reinvented my own belief systems, and reprogrammed my brain and body to do what I've always wanted, but was too afraid to do.
I am now living the life I've always dreamed of, but never thought possible. I know it is a direct result of my work with The Art of Charm. That is why I recommend it to anyone and everyone who is ready to take their lives to the next level. It was by far the best investment I ever made!
Shir M – New York, NY
Life changing. Period.
Jeff W – Middleburg, FL
This is truly a lifestyle upgrade. Yeah, you can learn to be great with women, but Charm is about being great with people.
Marc J – New York, NY

Peter Thomas Roth Customer ReviewsI really like it! - 3/13/2014 8:28:16 AM I am 31 years old and I have never suffer from acne until now, my face broke out and these pads really help clear my skin completely in about 3 weeks. You have to be patient and let it do it's job. It does irritate and sting for a minute but then your face feels very soft and clean, I also noticed it helps close my pores. I only use it at night and then add my moisturizer from murad that helps treat acne and the vitamins as well.Mega Rich Body Wash - 3/1/2014 2:11:45 PM First tried this at the Hilton Bayfront in St Petersburg FL. Love the scent and feel.Blown away by Results - 2/27/2014 7:09:13 PM Hands down, the best I have ever tried. I have never seen anything like this product: it melts into my skin and pretty much transforms it. Matches my olive skin perfectly, and softens those undereye wrinkles. Since I prefer tinted moisturizers, I try every quality BB cream I can find. This one acts like a BB and not a foundation, which I detest. No cake face for me :)Had High Hopes :-( - 2/27/2014 5:17:36 AM I have been using Perricone Eye Plasma for the past three months. I am fairly pleased with it, but was excited to try the new PTR Volufill Eye Serum due to its promises to help allieviate under eye "hollowness". I am sad to report that after using this product twice daily for nearly two weeks, I saw NO improvements in "under eye hollowness" & my fine lines appeared worse (not as hydrating as Perricone). I rarely go through the trouble of returning a product but this had to go back.Great for sunburn - 2/26/2014 10:31:35 AM I went to Puerto Rico and applied sunblock everywhere except my shins and feet. I am fair and I got burned there which included swelling because of the skin damage. The hotel had this lotion in the room and I put it on. It was so smooth and it didn't "hurt" to apply it. But an unexpected thing happened, within 15 minutes the pain diminished! So I started to apply it 4 times a day and it has held the pain at bay and I have not peeled - yet- and it has been 6 days so far. I can only think because of the vitamin complex in there that this is what is helping me out. Final word- to heal skin issues use this cream. I can only think of the restorative support that this lotion will do for areas that aren't damaged. Thanks I've purchased two bottles and am looking forward to getting it.tried an true - 2/21/2014 1:12:36 PM being 67 I really take care of my skin .I really did love this product but I found it to be like water in my hand .I was wondering is this the real texture .I will buy it one more time . It is very expensive so I don't want to waste money or time. I did not find it helped with lines around my eyes . However I will recommend it ..Fabulous for 50+ - 2/15/2014 1:48:57 PM I use this product as instructed and see visable difference. Used Restalyn in the past with great results but very expensive. This product is a very close second for results in filling deep lines.Great product! - 2/2/2014 5:57:17 AM I absolutely love this scrub. I have sensitive skin and many products can irritate it. This leaves my skin glowing. It is an absolute staple in my skin care routine.Soft clear skin... Love this product!!! - 1/30/2014 11:10:50 AM The product has a pleasant smell and cleans your skin well without damaging it. It can be drying but I always moisturize and don't have any issues. Just one wash and your skin is soft and glowing! I loooooove it!Peter Thomas Roth 20th Anniversary Kit - 1/14/2014 7:21:26 PM PTR AntiAging Cleansing Gel is great. His kits are a wonderful way to try some of the products that you may have been considering. That's how I originally began using his products. The price of the kits are well priced and give you an opportunity to sample other featured items. Recommend you try it.

|Home Hide-A-Hose 90 Degree Long Radius Elbow HAH202140
Order the Hide-A-Hose HAH202140 On Vacdepot!
Sold (1) 90° elbow fitting each. Tube, Glue and other fittings not included.
About Hide-A-Hose Systems
The HAH (Hide-A-Hose) system is ingenious in it's simplicity. When not in use the vacuum hose is stored inside the tube system that is hidden within the walls of your home. When cleaning is needed you simply pull out the length of hose you required, connect the handle and tools, and begin vacuuming. Each HAH inlet can cover from 700 square feet for a 30 foot hose and up to 3,000 square feet for a 60 foot hose based on your homes interior design. When your finished cleaning the suction from your CV power unit pulls the hose back into the tube system and out of sight. With the hose safely stored by the system you need only carry your handle and tool to the next inlet and repeat the process. Each inlet in the system stores it's own hose so you do not have to.
The HAH inlet system is available in four lengths of hose, 30ft, 40ft, 50ft and 60ft. Each Hide-A-Hose station requires (1) mounting bracket, (1) inlet valve and (1) vacuum hose. Installation of the Hide-A-Hose system is similar to standard vacuum inlets with special routing required for the Hide-A-Hose raceway tube system. The Hide-A-Hose raceway tube system also requires special elbows for turning which allow the hose to travel smoothly into it's storage position. Each hose will require a hose grip (Standard or Radio Controlled) and attachment set for for a complete Hide-A-Hose system. HAH systems have a higher than standard inlet initial cost but pay you back quickly with ease-of-use convenience that provides you with a cleaner home environment, less flooring wear, and more leisure time that is not spent cleaning.
New style H3000 Valves Included.
Requirements for installation vary by application. HAH Systems will require sufficient room for installation of the hose-tube raceway. The hose-tube raceway must be installed on a single plane which may require open areas above or below the living space such as an attic or basement. HAH systems require special long radius PVC fittings within the raceway but use standard PVC vacuum tube and standard vacuum fittings for connections outside the raceway for installation. Hide-A-Hose systems can be mixed with standard hose inlets and sweep inlets for a custom vacuum system that meets the homeowners needs.
For proper performance with hose retraction and tool operation a power unit model recommendation chart is below. A properly sized power unit is required for 100% coverage. A single power unit may operate up to 8 HAH inlets (non-concurrently). For dual operator (2 valve concurrent cleaning) applications or installations exceeding the maximum tube run allowance it is recommended that two power units be used.
** Longest Tube Run = Distance to farthest inlet including raceway (not the total amount of tube used for all inlets) plus exhaust run, if any.
HAH Systems may be mixed with valves of other types including standard wall-inlets and sweep-inlets such as the Vacusweep. Each HAH flexible hose includes a hose sock and all hose lengths may be trimmed on-site for optimum fit and performance. Each rough-in kit includes a protective mud-cover for the valve mount during sheet-rocking and painting. HAH Systems are ready for new construction homes as well as pre-built (retro fit) homes. To learn more about the HAH system installation you can view the manual (PDF, 4.5M) for layout ideas and installation techniques.
Hide-A-Hose retractable hose management system brings a new level of convenience to central vacuum systems and with just a bit more planning than standard inlets can be used in almost any home or business (perfect for veterinary offices). Hide-A-Hose systems offer exceptional performance when coupled with a high power central vacuum that removes dirt, dust and allergens from your home while adding built-in value. If you have questions about the HAH System please contact the Vacdepot CVS Experts with your requirements.
Hide-A-Hose Coverage
30ft Hide-A-Hose: 707sqft Maximum, 636sqft with a 10% overhead loss.
*Overhead loss may increase with longer Hide-A-Hose systems as more objects (furniture, walls, cabinets, etc) will be between the inlet and the maximum distance. In some applications using a shorter hose with more Hide-A-Hose inlets may be more efficient and easier to operate. Use caution when planning a HAH system with 60 foot hoses. The excessive length of the 60ft hose has cumulative airflow loss which can result in poor cleaning performance with most CV power units. The longer hose also increases the weight and friction of the hose during recovery. If possible we recommend that you design your vacuum system with 50 foot maximum hose units. If you have questions about using Hide-A-Hose in your application please give us a call. Our Central Vacuum experts are very familiar with the Hide-A-Hose system installation and operation and can help you with planing of your system.

Pelicans sound like a Elementary school mascot.
I would prefer Hornets over Pelicans. I remember being excited about this rebranding. Now with all the supposedly front-runners I'm strongly disappointed. If we end up the Pelicans it will be the epitome of being careful what you wish for.
Whose design was this? Was this from that contest or Dubs?
Not dub's.
Aha, you're probably right, I just browsed through quickly and didn't notice who said what.
It's more than 5 people and it hasn't been the same people posting over and over.
The masses? Honestly, to me it looks like it's 80/20 against Pelicans. I feel like the outsider at this point because I don't hate the name.
Bottom line... It's Benson's Team and he'll do what he wants.... Regular Season can't get here soon enough. We've beat soooo many dead horses on this board can't wait till we can talk about some real ball.
I don't hate it either. It's probably the best of all the options. I guess I'm just extra pro Hornets. Question: are they planning on changing the colors also? Like will it be black& gold or something?
hornets is a way better name than pelicans.
"We may raise some eyebrows, but we're not in this to get excited or raise eyebrows." - Monty Williams
My top 3 names would be pelicans, krewe, and brass. Pelicans is not as bad as some on here make it out to be. Some on here act like the mascots have a death match before the game to see who gets the ball first. Plus that pelican logo would look great a half court.
Im going to miss the Hornets... because im a true Hornets fan, not New orleans fan
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name.
Pelicans isn't the worst but it would be my 4th or fifth option from those constantly named.
I really doubt that will be close to the scheme. I'd bet it will be either a light blue and grey, red/gold/black or black and gold.

America's Cup: Grant Dalton on hitting the big zero - Video interview
By Richard Gladwell,
5:32 AM Thu 13 Dec 2012
Emirates Team New Zealand have become the first, and probably only team that will use its allocated 30 days for the first phase of sailing AC72's. According to the virtual Official Noticeboard for the 34th America's Cup, the team has a zero alongside its name in terms of sailing days left. Many pundits see that as a measure of the current state of play in the 34th America's Cup. But is it? ...[more]
America's Cup: Emirates Team NZ galloping across the Gulf
By Chris Cameron,
10:54 PM Sat 8 Dec 2012

I have seen all sorts of legitimate information via the autopsy and Martin´s record at school et al. that, if they ARE true, paint a really iffy picture of the young man, as well as of his parents. E.G. the skittles and soda (NOT ice tea as reported) when added to Robotussin , make for a get high drink that also causes aggression, and Martin´s liver showed signs of use. Martin Sr. has FOUR kids, three out of wedlock, and Martin was not raised by his mother but by the 2nd girlfriend. Etc. None of this, including why Trayvon was kicked out of school, are never mentioned.

By now most people know the truth about Trayvon being a thug; his mother knows it too, but she will milk this tragedy for every dollar she can get. Neither of Trayvon´s parents were there when he was growing up; he became a ruthless teenager in trouble with the law. That night he wanted to show this "Creepy-ass Cracker" who was tough, and unfortunately it cost him his life. Yet, the media wants to paint a different picture, and Trayvon´s parents are giddy with their Million Dollar settlement from the homeowners, and they want to promote this fraud as long as they can until every last buck is squeezed out for them. Neither of them had any money until Trayvon died, now they are both wealthy beyond their dreams.

I very much disagree with Jonah on this one; I think the Trayvon deal is a very big thing. It is based on a false narrative and is designed to stir racial division. Our President and Attorney General are key players in both the false narrative and racial divisiveness. That´s intentional and very disturbing. They don´t mind breaking a few eggs, whether the egg is George Zimmerman or the Benghazi scapegoat filmmaker. Our leaders are vile.

The immediate cause of "the Trayvon Martin tragedy" was his own bad judgment in not going into the condo where he was supposed to be staying (which he had reached, according to his cell phone conversation with Rachel Jeantel) rather than deciding to go back - all the way to the far other end of the green belt - and show George Zimmerman a lesson. What Rachel called "whoop-a**".His physical attack on Zimmerman caused Zimmerman to act in self defense with the only weapon he had.In a nutshell...

Jonah gives us two unforgettable phrases: (1) the media will "bend facts to fit desired story line" (2) "letting misinterpretation stand, is the hallmark of media´s coverage of this story". Our corrupt, agitating, media works overtime to distort and censor the observable truth. It´s easy and not unreasonable to imagine that mainstream media are all communists. It's actually more enjoyable to pretend they are commies. Why? Because they purposely agitate, when they should be reporting. They copy Sharpton, Jesse and Farakhan. That´s their format, agitation. Anybody they choose not to like is presumed guilty. Not exactly All American presumption of innocense, the media. Along with Jonah here, Jack Cashill has done prize winning, clear reporting on this case. And PJMedia´s Bill Whittle did an amazing ten minutes wrapping up all the truth versus distortion on this case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebu6Yvzs4Ls

The media totally ignored the dysfunctional TM family. He was not raised by his mother. His primary caregiver mother was his father´s girlfriend, who left his life suddenly when the father and her broke up. She raised him from being a toddler to a young teen. TM biological mother never mothered him. This whole story was the media´s fabrication. Now the parents are cashing in on their son´s death. A death that could have been avoided if he was raised in a stable home.

As quickly as travon´s parents(?) became enriched off his tragedy is just how quickly they will waste the money and embrace their poverty again. Except when their usefulness wains and poverty returns, they will still have the horrible habits of being wealthy and all its associated problems. Yet, I find it hard to feel sorry for them because it was never really about the death of a son they didn´t really give a damn about until his passing.How many parents have children today that only matter when a potential lawsuit presents its self?

Jonah´s still whitewashing. Zimmerman was not standing his ground - he was retreating. All available evidence (Jeantel´s testimony, the police tape of the call, the physical evidence, Zimmerman´s statements to the police, and the eyewitness) indicates without contradiction that he was attacked without chance to retreat At that time, he wasn´t confronting anyone, he was on his way back to his car - retreating.There were at least two laws broken - assault and battery (state crime) and a federal hate crime (crazy a** racial epithets with life-threatening beatings guarantee a conviction of certain races)by Trayvon. I´m not sure if the death threats are a separate crime and I haven´t heard enough evidence yet to prove Martin was also publicly intoxicated.Besides that, everybody leaves out the extreme martial arts interest and participation.

It truly is sad that the "facts" about Trayvon Martin and his "family" were purposely withheld not only from the jury by the judge but also the public by the media. The drugs identified in his system during the autopsy should have been "evidence". Just like George Zimmerman´s swollen head, bruises, and broken nose should have been "evidence" but seems to be ignored. The millionaire Martins will keep trying to profit from their irresponsible parenting. Too bad George Zimmerman couldn´t turn around and sue them. He does need to got after NBC & ABC bigtime.

From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Rite-Hite owner warns employees of risks of voting Obama
Mike White, the chairman and owner of Rite-Hite, a major Milwaukee manufacturer of industrial equipment, wanted to be sure his employees understood what he feels is at stake in the presidential election.
In an email sent this week to employees, White said his workers "should understand the personal consequences to them of having our tax rates increase dramatically if President Obama is re-elected, forcing taxpayers to fund President Obama's future deficits and social programs (including Obamacare), which require bigger government."
The email, which may conflict with state election law, stunned some employees. One employee said he felt threatened by the email. "It's a good company, but for this to come out, it's absurd," said the employee, who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution from management.
The employee said even supervisors were surprised by the tone of the email. "Many were really disappointed to see this," the employee said.
The email doesn't mention GOP candidate Mitt Romney by name, but the employee said workers felt it was implicit that they were being encouraged to vote for him.
The firm employs an estimated 1,400 people worldwide.
In his email, White said neither he nor the company wanted to "prejudice any employee for their political views and totally respect your right to vote as you choose. I am simply trying to present the facts as I know them and to protect the business you have helped build! Please think carefully about your vote on Nov. 6."
White did not return several calls and an email requesting comment. He is a trustee for the Village of River Hills and serves on the Summerfest board and the Concordia University Wisconsin Foundation board, among others. He is a member of the board of directors for the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, an organization that "advances the public interest in the rule of law, individual liberty, constitutional government, and a robust civil society."
The institute is led by Rick Esenberg, an adjunct law professor at the Marquette University Law School and former general counsel for Rite-Hite. Esenberg also is a community columnist for the Journal Sentinel.
State law may prohibit email such as the one White sent to employees. The law states: "No employer or agent of an employer may distribute to any employee printed matter containing any threat, notice or information that if a particular ticket of a political party or organization or candidate is elected or any referendum question is adopted or rejected, work in the employer's place or establishment will cease, in whole or in part, or the place or establishment will be closed, or the salaries or wages of the employees will be reduced, or other threats intended to influence the political opinions or actions of the employees."
A spokesman for the Government Accountability Board said enforcement of that part of state law was the responsibility of the local district attorney's office. Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
White wrote to employees that his company is an S corporation for tax purposes. An S corporation is a company that elects to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credit through to its shareholders for federal tax purposes.
In his email to workers, White said the firm's retirement savings program contributions were based on after-tax profits.
"The tax rate we pay is not 17%, as Warren Buffett would have you believe; with state taxes it is roughly 45%. President Obama has announced that our planned tax rate would increase to roughly 65%, reducing our after tax income by 36% and dramatically reducing, if not eliminating, your and my RSP contributions."
As a result, White said the company's profits would not be reinvested. Instead, he wrote, "the money will be sent into the abyss that is Washington, D.C. So, on top of the burden of having your personal taxes increase dramatically, which they will, your RSP contributions and healthy retirement are also at risk, all for the sake of maintaining an oversized government that borrows 42% of every dollar it spends."
John Vitek, a Milwaukee tax lawyer, said it was possible that the company's combined tax rate would be near 45%. "But I don't know where the 65% is coming from," he said.
And while White was critical of President Barack Obama's tax policies, government records indicate his firm was awarded a grant of $26,471 in economic stimulus money under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
White also wrote that Obama's re-election means there is a "good chance of losing Rite-Hite insurance and being put into Obamacare."
White explained that employers can continue their existing insurance plans or "pay a penalty and have employees go into the Government Plan. Our plan costs much more per family than the penalty and hence the possible competitive need to drop the Rite-Hite Health Plan. Every opportunity to make up for lost profits to taxes will have to be re-evaluated."

It is.
Wisconsin statute 12.09(3):
No person may personally or through an agent, by any act compel, induce, or prevail upon an elector either to vote or refrain from voting at any election for or against a particular candidate or referendum.
Wisconsin statute 12.11(1M):
Any person who does any of the following violates this chapter:
(a) Offers, gives, lends or promises to give or lend, or endeavors to procure, anything of value, or any office or employment or any privilege or immunity to, or for, any elector, or to or for any other person, in order to induce any elector to:
3. Vote or refrain from voting for or against a particular person.
Please point out in that letter where he told his people how to vote or how to vote for. I guess in your world being honest and providing a forecast of events likely to happen should be illegal.
Yes, when Vito and Bruno stop by for a chat, they don't actually *say* your business is gonna burn down, they say 'unfortunate accidents happen sometimes'. Where's the crime in that?
So robert, since you can't point to anything directly, you have to regress to "implying" or "suggesting". You're losing the argument.....
Robert will CONSISTENTY bend the facts around to make a point, LOL
To violate the law, White doesn't have to "tell" workers how to vote. Note the word "induce" which means to influence or persuade. I hope at least one of the workers reported this to the GAB so that there is an investigation. Ultimately, GAB would decide if the law has been broken.
How is it that those "free chicken dinners" aren't influencing but a guy telling the truth is milwaukeewoman?
The way that statues reads does not indicate that this person has broken the law.
As a general comment, I think it's good that employers are informing employees of what might happen to the companies they work if legislation is passed by one party or another. To me, it's no different that teachers/school administrators circulating e-mails regarding their views on Act 10 and to vote to remove Scott Walker from office. This type of discussion/communication is more productive and tangible than the garbage we hear from politicians on Television ads.
Robert, then I guess every politician is violating Statute 12.09(3) with their inducing voters to not vote for the other candidate.
Thanks for the statutory cite. What are the damages? How can the selfish elite be so hypocritical? Tell white tio switch his sub S ro a C corp tp reduce his personsl tax rate. 93% of small businesses won't pay any more taxes based on Obama's proposal. Thank God for the "top" heavy retirement rules, or White woulf skim off everything. Does he put coal in children's Xmas stockings?
He has benefited since 1944 whenthe top marginal tax rate was 94%; now reduced to 35%. His kind have waged the class war ever since.
Mt. White, you and a few others have embarrassed every other civic businessman.Did you miss the WSJ front pagev storytodsay in which the wealthiest businessmen are calling for a budget that raises raxes on the rich? Since rhese are federal taxes and relate to all businesses across the country, its a rising tide lifting all boats in the US, including his competition.. Of course, Mr. White could put his fasctory in a North Korean enterprise zone, where he could hire workers at $5/day or move to PRC where wages are $1/day.
We have had people die in Iraq and Afghanisran so this bloosucking, undertaxed/overcompensated tratior can conrinue to feast on the common good to his hearts cointent? On your knees Mr. White, you sniveling soirry excuse for citizenship and thank god you now live in a country where you never had to put on a uniform and put yout bofy on the barbed wire and the oligarchy of wealth have consistently taken an increasing share of the commonwealth. 400 US citizens now have a combined net worth greater than an aggregate of 1/2 the US population.
you are a disgrace to every ethical businessman in this country.
What conduct, telling your employees what will likely happen in a second Obama term? I suppose you'd be happier if it were a "surprise" and didn't have time to plan in advance.
Telling them what would happen and threatening them with losing benefits are two different things
Threatening.... Love the spin repr. He's being honest with his people. If this happens then expect these results. The Obama administration could learn a few things from this guy.
Repruniformed, he is telling them that if Obama is re-elected that the benefits will change under his tax plan. That is not threatening and not telling them who to vote for.
Welcome to the real world of small business. It can hardly be shocking that businesses are planning ahead on contingencies based upon the policies of the candidates. Simply because scenarios of what may occcur are communicated to employees hardly makes it a crime. I agree with LGRepublican; he does NOT violate the law in that email.
repruniformed. Sure, we should outlaw free speech. At least his employees won't be surprised to see what happens if Obama is re-elected.
GT, it's a closed loop. Mike White can ask the Romney campaign which of his employees gave, and how much.
Freedom of Speech. Typically "liberals" who are neither open minded or tolerate to call for censorship. He isn't, unlike Obama and his union bosses, paying people to vote, attend rallies, etc. But that is okay because they are on the rightside, right Lefty? The end justifies the means if you a Democrat.
So long as we have a secret ballot, there can be no compulsion. When, exactly, did business owners lose their First Amendment rights?
The issue is quite simply that the employer is telling his employees that they will lose jobs if Obama is elected, whether he can or will be prosecuted(doubtful) it still remains that his action is to induce an act by his employees based on HIS belief that his company will be affected in some way.
Well that's one manufacturer that will never want for the equipment to make its product; there's always a huge tool in the front office.
"President Obama has announced that our planned tax rate would increase to roughly 65%"
HMMM- I have never heard this , according to the right Obama has no plan-did white make these numbers up????Hide replies
Just take into consideration all the taxes that are set to go up the first of the year. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out, which would explain why you can't.....
Yep. White just made up numbers.
No, he did not make up those numbers. Remember the company also pays state and city taxes....compare that to Canada which just lowered its corporate tax rate to 15%. Yes, companies will drop their insurance and force employees to go into the exchanges; it was designed that way to eventually make us all dependent on the govt. So Obama has LIED when he said if you like your insurance and doctor you can keep it..
BTW, you better do some research how S corporations file their taxes and the shareholder is frequently the owner who is taxed at the individual rate.
Denial is going to find many people stunned if Obama is re-elected and Obamacare fully implemented. I suggest you read how the dictator Sibelius has redefined FT to be only 30 hours... be ready to work only 29 hours....as small business will readjust their work schedules to stay viable.
How will this impact Rite-Hite's chinese employees?Hide replies
i believe this is his point. the chinese employee will be getting busier because he won't be able to afford to make products here. more jobs shifted overseas thanks to obamas policies
Rite-Hite is already shipping jobs to China. Rite-Hite employees get ready for Chinese wages, no benefits and no job safety. Unless, of course, you formed a union to protect yourselfs as a group.
Business ship jobs to China because they pay far less taxes there. Without that tax break, they can't make a profit.
BS Hank. Businesses ship jobs to China because they pay $1.00 an hour there. That is the reason.
Of yeah, the fact that the reduce labor costs aren't making White obscenely wealthy. I have no problem with the notion that we are in competition with foreign workers, but why does one class of Americans have to suffer as a result and another get very rich off of this. And why is it many of you think this is OK -- until it happens to you?
krshorewood, who is suffering as a result of Mike White making a lot of money? I'm sure your answer would be to force Rite-Hite to only employ people in the USA...and when this and all of your other policies/regulations drive them out of business, what then? Communists like you really have no clue how the economy works.
Shipping jobs to China Fanofnaught? Maybe you should do your research about the company before you state your 'facts' ... Rite-Hite isn't shipping jobs to China - they have a China manufacturing plant... and do you know why? Because there are other manufacturing plants across China that USE Rite-Hite products. RH China isn't a farm-out for American jobs - it's a BRANCH of Rite-Hite Corporation. I don't think an office of about 50 individuals and a small number of manufacturing employees is considering "shipping jobs to China"
Yes, righties, lets send all the jobs to China because they pay lower taxes, of course you will now be begging in the streets and the Chinese premier will be enjoying the billions you keep giving him as our patriotic corporations move jobs and profits there.
This is just one more instance of why it should be found that corperations are not people and should not have the right to free speech
Threatening people with their lively hood to give your candidate an advantage is just wrong.Hide replies
You don't want "corporations" to have freedom of speech, but I bet you like being able to tax them don't ya?
Good thing the unions don't threaten their members to give their candidate an advantage.
But unions SHOULD have free speech?
He has the freedom of speech!!! he can say what ever he wants
Like how so many of you think it is peachy keen from a CEO to impose his opinion on his workers. The message says loud and clear that if you want a future with this company you'd better toe the company line.
How is this a threat? He has absolutely no way of knowing how any of his employees voted. People throughout our society try to persuade people to vote a particular way. The only reason libs are manufacturing controversy on this is to try to shutdown people like Mike White. If White came out in support of Obama, libs would hail him as courageous. This story reminds me of the Chick-Fil-A story...LIBS DON'T BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH, THEY BELIEVE IN THEIR SPEECH.
This guy is worse than scum. Not only does he threaten his employees he lies about the plan going forward. This is just one more example of the scum that is trying to buy the election. Welcome to the USA of Sheldon Adelson, Koch brothers, and now this River Hills scum bag.Hide replies
How is this ANY different than people on welfare being told their "benefits" will be cut if Romney is elected? Keep up that hand wringing....
and the union doesn't come in a hand the employees a list of people to vote for?! you are quite naive.
It is a good thing we live in a free country and the 1400 workers can go work somewhere else if the think he is scum.. Better yet why dont the workers buy the company from him if he has got it so great
thanks cakes
cakes: 1) you don't need to yell; 2) re-read possums' post...I believe you are agreeing with him/her.
Hatred of the unions will only help you on the road to the bottom, enjoy the ride.
stop the hate: or the people who don't take his advice vote in private the way it was intended with free will and come back to work and act like Mittens Romney is the savior of mankind and republicans are right all the time.

What about a more perfect democracy?
Senator John McCain, one of the candidates likely to become president of the United States, has indicated that we might remain in Iraq for some time.
And he is probably right. Now that we're in, getting out is going to be quite tricky. The question is, what will be the purpose of our stay? How many troops are going to be required and what is their task going to be?
Beyond pot-hole mending.
Much of Shorewood's infrastructure is in the "100 year-old" category. We've been quite frugal over its maintenance, primarily because it's costly and shows no immediate financial pay-back.
Another reason for limiting our expenditures along these lines is that our politicians have usually promised minimum or no tax increases. We've also relied on the thinking that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Little guy.
He would lie next to my work. As I wrote he heard the clicking. When I paused he offeed his little head for petting. Then he'd walk all over the table. Never placing a paw on the keys.
Now he is no more. And we shall miss the soft purr and gentle nature of this frail little creature. His honest personality gave so much to us.
Does our economy add up to a mere trickle?
Politicians necessarily include economic theory into their political presentations. These are usually amazing ventures into nothingness.
President Bush's economic policies have been as bad as Hoover's, except that Hoover didn't give us a war.
What about it?
Elizabeth Price, Director of Shorewood's Senior Resource Center has been doing excellent work for the seniors of this community. It seems to me that it would take a staff of several people to do all that she accomplishes.
It's obvious to most people who have experienced the senior programs that further progress here requires more attention by the Village Board in terms of providing staff. I would think that at least 2 more people are needed to continue the good work. The Bill Benjamin fund could help carry the additional staff for the next few years for starters.
Beats dictatorhips.
Well, the Shorewood Village Board did again, This time they made two significant mistakes.
One, they approved the Sunrise development, a project for those in the sunset of their lives—seems there was a song, sunrise, sunset. But a mistake never-the-less.
Downside up sometimes seems better than upside down.
Further consideration of the appointment of trustees for Shorewood rather than election might lead us to the following assumptions:
First assumption: existing members feel that that they are good judges, if not the best judges of what makes a good trustee and are willing to examine and interview those who make themselves available and then select one from the pool to join them on the Board of Trustees.
The "golden goose policy".
Somewhere along the line, I heard that Shorewood was pursuing a policy for attracting young families with school-aged children that would help bring state revenue to our school system.
Most of the new development that has taken place has been in the form of condos that usually attract people of more mature age and who usually are without children. So much for how that policy has influenced our demographics.
Working toward a more perfect democracy, today we as Americans have good reason to be proud. We have arrived at a stage where as a nation we are ready to elect either a woman, an elder citizen or person of color to the office of president.
This we have done without conscious organization.
In spite of serious and deep ironies at this nation's birth, one of America's major problems, following the occupation of an important part of a continent, became that of trying to absorb and of carrying out an idea that gave rise to this nation.
This idea based on notions of freedom and equality developed a culture that later also accepted all of humanity and the equality of each individual in the world. However, even today we have been unable to condense in words and in deeds how we are to fulfill that role for ourselves as a nation and how to present it to the rest of the world.
Globalization to most of us means buying more and more of our daily goods from somewhere else.
The term human globalization however, brings with it a different thrust, a different significance based on our humanity and not merely on our economic, political or military prowess.
How significant is a community like Shorewood, in the broad spectrum of a global civilization?
Communities are among the smallest social atoms that make up the structures of nations and civilizations. Yet in today's world, we've been getting reports back from relatives and friends in Sweden and in Canada who are reading my blogs and giving their comments.
Shorewood has all the ingredients of community.
What we need now is to put together all of those social elements that bring about the development of community.
Local school systems are important elements of the community not only because they serve its members but because they are of the community, perhaps schools are the community's most visible element in today's world.
The basic service of the public schools has pretty much been limited to teaching. School sports have grown out the schools' ventures into recreation. Therefore, these have become central to most of the activities of our young.
Survival, humanity's common purpose is found in the everyday and natural processes of the community.
Theses characteristics, more transparent in our view of ancient villages are not as readily observed in modern neighborhoods and communities.
The old man in his space. Where and when? Oakland Avenue in Shorewood. Saturday morning. Sunny spring day. Clutter of police cars. Man in handcuffs. Street in construction. Sand, dirt and stones on walkway.
Salute a friend. Tables and chairs along walkway present images of Europe. Holes in the street. Pedestrian crossings. Brown tile. Some cars stop. Some people wave. Some say hello. Some self-engrossed.
Balloons for a party. Graduation gift for another. Man in handcuffs. House break-in. News of death in Iraq and in China.
All this in one's own mental experience at a moment in time. How many minds in the world with hundreds of different mind-experiences . . . mind events, how many are there at this same moment?
The large question for the coming year is, can Barack, Hillary and Nancy, three people recognized by their first names, help keep this the land of opportunity?
Can they help maintain a free society at home and our security abroad and revitalize the image and the dream of America?
In the past the elders recalled the world that they had lived. They became the respected historians, the wise men.
Today history is already recorded and interpreted by young historians. The elders no longer have any worth except as to the value of their holdings. And these are usually only of family interest.
Of course I remain interested in what takes place publicly in Shorewood, in its street life and in the emanating aspects of social and political activities.
There are some parts of the world I'd like to visit again that are not on "travel film," nor that can be experienced in a personal way. There are places that I'd like to revisit in Sweden, in England, in Italy and especially in London.
Shorewood's snow removal problem, especially in our business district is being viewed at an appropriate time in history. At a time when there's some concentration on solar energy.
Major crosswalks become problems in the winter because of the snow accumulation: partial solution: develop sculptured canopies over the crosswalk areas that will also support solar energy collectors, not the regular rectangular type but visually artistic products.
The vigor of society is in its critical thought and ability to make discoveries and inventions, resulting in wealth-creation.
Bureaucratic and political thinking does NOT lend itself to new or untested ideas.
Americans have set aside one day in the year when we honor those who have died in our wars.
I believe that during my lifetime that I've experienced only part of a long period between the end of the first World War until the second one when we had no real involvement in war, one generation of peace.
The term self-generation perhaps is as aptly applied to community as it is to any form of organic development.
"Community" when used biologically generally refers to a collective form of life on which the individual organisms are dependent.

Peters housing market is on the upswing
The housing market in Peters Township is on the upswing, according to information provided to council by Michael Silvestri, township manager, during a meeting March 11. The figures were provided by RealSTATs, which provides information on real estate transactions for five local counties, including Washington County.
In 2012, 381 township houses were sold, reflecting an increase of 24 percent from 2011, Silvestri said. And, the median sale price jumped from $334,000 in 2011 to $351,000 in 2012.
Also involving real estate, council unanimously reapproved the Orchard Hill Plan 2B, as the original plan was not recorded in the mandated 90 days.
Council also unanimously approved an agreement with Stahl Shaeffer to perform inspection services on the proposed replacement of a bridge on Sugar Camp Road. The project will go out for bid in May with the bid expected to be awarded at the last council meeting in May.
Mark Zemaitis, township engineer, told council the agreement with Stahl Shaeffer is on an hourly basis and the agreement is for up to $19,820. He said the current bridge demolition should take about three weeks with the bridge closed for about one month, then it will reopen with staggered, temporary closures such as occurred when the Bebout bridge connecting Arrowhead Trail was closed last year for replacement.
Council also heard of two cases that will appear before the township's zoning hearing board March 14. No action was taken by council on either case.
One involved a request for a second variance by Stephen Szabo involving the upcoming realignment and reconstruction of the ramp leading from Valley Brook Road to and from Washington Road. Szabo, Silvestri said, requested a connecting road from the ramp to his property north of the intersection project.
"What's the hurry?" asked Councilman Robert Atkison, adding the road would be done with private money and "it can't be for at least a year because this time next year, the road will be closed."
Council did agree that any private road built from the ramp should benefit two others businesses also north of the ramp. With the road, customers wishing to turn onto Washington Road south could access the traffic signal at the top of the ramp.
The other case involved a request to construct a 14-foot wide deck off the back of a building on Valley Brook Road that is close to the Montour Trail portion that is leased by the township to the Montour Trail Council. The building is about 30 feet from the trail. Council agreed that perhaps 14 feet was too wide.
In other action, council:
•Appointed Dorothy Schwerha and Michelle Chavel to two open positions on the Parks and Recreation Board.
• Authorized a special permit to Kmart for outdoor storage for plants and bagged mulch from the end of March until May.
• Authorized Frank Arcuri, council chairman, to sign a letter of support for local municipalities to use RADAR and LIDAR. Silvestri said Pennsylvania is the only state in the nation not to permit local police departments to use RADAR for traffic enforcement.
• Announced there will be a public hearing at 7:30 p.m. April 8 for a request by the Aladdin Restaurant on Washington Road to transfer a liquor license. Currently, the restaurant is under construction and has not opened.
• Granted a request to contribute $500 to the Washington County Watershed Alliance for a matching grant. The group is requesting money from all county municipalities although Silvestri said he doubted there would be 100 percent participation. Arcuri voted against the contribution comparing the donation to zucchini bread. "I keep bringing zucchini bread and I don't get any zucchini bread back," Arcuri said.
• Asked William Johnson, solicitor, to research if council could enact an ordinance prohibiting registered sex offenders from accessing public places in the township, such as the library and Arrowhead Trail. Arcuri said there have been "some concerns in the township."
Next meeting is at 7:30 p.m. March 25.

Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.
