You understand that you are being tracked on the Internet and that all your data is scooped up, sifted, sorted, bought and sold. Now you want to protect your Internet traffic and that of your family and customers.
Cryptohippie gives you military-grade technology in an easy-to-use form. You don't need to be a tech expert to use our system. It was built by top professionals but designed for average computer users. Installation takes about 15 minutes; after that you can use the Internet immediately – as you always have and with peace of mind.
Not only does this protection cost less than a dollar a day, but we'll also give you a secure email account, encrypted chat, and we'll return your money if you are not satisfied.
Our product is called Road Warrior. It creates a strongly encrypted connection from your computer to the Cryptohippie anonymity network. From there, your traffic passes through at least two national jurisdictions, loses all association with your identifiers and emerges from our network at a distant location. But, even with all of this going on, you can surf, check your email, use Skype, and everything else exactly as you have been. Unless you reveal it yourself, no one can see who you are or what your data may be.
And, if you'd like, you can have an account on our secure email server, as well as full access to our encrypted chat system. (You can, of course, continue to use your old email and chat accounts.)
Bouncing your signal between continents does slow down communication speed
and bandwidth a bit, but usually not too much. Bandwidth will not be slowed
down much more than about 10%.
Road Warrior works with Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems.
If you'd like to see the technical explanation of what we do, you can find it here.
Our clients are financial professionals, small investors, doctors, lawyers, realtors, scientists, parents, grandparents, housewives, international travelers and small business owners – a wide variety of good people who are reclaiming their privacy and protecting the information of people they care about.
Cryptohippie, USA, Inc. operates only authenticator services and no network servers. We are an authorized agent of the network operations company, but we have no involvement in operating any parts of the CHAVPN network except authentication for our clients.
Sadly, it is now necessary to avoid network operations in the United States. As it stands, networks without political connections are vulnerable to equipment seizures without warrants. Perhaps in the future that will change.
We pride ourselves on giving our customers personal care. Our people are available 24/7 by email and by Skype or phone during most western hemisphere business hours.
I am currently using what I've found to be an extraordinary service... from CryptoHippie . Long-story short, it makes it so nobody – not Google, not even your Internet service provider, not the government, and (theoretically of course) not a hacker – can track your Internet activity back to you. This service is not free, but it's worth every penny. (I tried the "free" and cheap services, but you don't want them... You surf too slowly to be functional and they're potentially even riskier than doing nothing at all.) … came highly recommended, from my most trusted contacts. – Steve Sjuggerud, DailyWealth.com
There are many VPN services available. I prefer services that don't have networks installed in the United States to avoid possible
compromise under legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act. The service that I use is Cryptohippie. Its only U.S. presence is to
authenticate connections to Cryptohippie servers in other countries. None of Cryptohippie's servers are in the United States.
– Mark Nestmann, International Tax Planning Consultant, Nestmann.com
Everyone once in a while during life you discover something new and genuine that is truly a surprise... Cryptohippie is a
VPN you can trust. It's also the best... I have been personally been using Cryptohippie, and am extremely impressed by the
services offered.
– Marco the Wizard (Tech Editor), ToThePointNews.com
I use a professional service that's pretty much the Rolls Royce of online privacy. Not only does it fully mask IP and other
identifying information (that the free proxies miss), but it also encrypts all web traffic so that no intelligible information
can be monitored. The service is called Cryptohippie, and I can't recommend it enough if you're serious about your online privacy.

Hjalti Danielsson is no stranger to EVE Online. He has written eighty short stories, two fanfest-performed plays, and now a novel, all in the name of the increasingly popular sci-fi MMO. Known as CCP Abraxas when cashing dev team checks, Danielsson – it goes without saying – has explored myriad facets of EVE life. It is part and parcel of his job to fill out aspects of the sociopolitical atmosphere often absent from in-game mission text. Given the fact that his hand has served as the architect to so much of the EVE universe, it's a wonder that his novel doesn't relish more in the worlds he's created.
The Burning Life, the second novel to emerge from the seven-year-old MMO, thrusts two protagonists into a limelight unaccustomed to their form: a pirate and a mission agent. In-game, pirates are non-player characters serving as respawning hecklers and all-around bad guys; to a player, little is known of them beyond the acquisition of a target lock and a blinding explosion. Mission agents broker jobs for players; and little is known of them beyond their function as loot dispensation machines. This is where the Burning Life comes in, breathing--ahem,
into the lungs of two important yet rarely examined personas within the EVE universe.
The pirate in question is Drem, a member of the Blood Raiders, a religiously devout faction of the Sani Sabik people. The mission agent is Ralea, a party girl struggling to hold down her breakfast as well as her nine-to-five. Thus begins an arduous, disconnected undertaking to unite this key master and gate keeper in the name of revenge, a dish that--by the end of the novel--is indeed served cold.
The story begins amidst the wreckage of Drem's deep-space mining colony. Drem, the sole survivor, crawls out from under a capsuleer pilot's haphazard but nonetheless devastating attack. Drem rails against a technicality preventing his murdered brother's name from being entered into the Blood Raiders' Book of the Dead, which is an obvious problem for a faithful member of the congregation. His only misguided option at this point is to put the price of every lost life on the head of the capsuleer pilot that destroyed his colony. Drem partners up with an older man that inexplicably fails to provide mentorship or serve as a cautionary tale, and a woman that's as vaguely promiscuous as she is dull to converse with. This lackluster trio skitters across several pirate nations, unconvincingly currying favor with wealthy and influential leaders from the dark side of the galaxy.
Drem and Ralea's trajectories sharply contrast one another, and mapping the differences may be an attentive reader's rare delight during the Burning Life's shoddy arc. Drem designs a personal, emo-tainted scheme of vengeance couched in hey-we're-not-all-terrorists societal justice. Ralea, on the other hand, flees from both an excess of drug-addled vice and white-collar crime, while flirting with female empowerment and lesbianism. It's a blatant metaphor for the West versus the Middle East, if the West and the Middle East were oblivious to one another's presence until the final two chapters of the book.
Don't let that fool you, however, as the character portraits themselves rarely cultivate empathy. Drem and Ralea add up to little more than vehicles for exploring Wikipedia-like entries to barely touched-upon cultures. People are generalized with convenient labels, actions never speak louder than words, love and hate are reduced to hugs and evil grins, and, except for when Danielsson gets his hands on more sci-fi horror backdrops like Sansha's Nation, then settings rarely bloom into fully-realized locales. A reader can't help but feel that they're only skipping over the surface of an overly-ambitious pond.
Were Danielsson capable of a fevered, poetic writing style like that of, say, Conan's Robert E. Howard, then the disparate chapters might find a more favorable light. Instead, the majority of Danielsson's missive is rapt with needless foul language, amateurish word duplication, and lazily-concocted character profiles. He takes pendulous strides between over-narration and weak dialogue, which is all the more disappointing since he's clearly invigorated at the start of each new chapter. He manages a plodding pace right up until the unexpectedly stunning climax, but still sounds like he's rushing due to a lack of time or energy.
Given a narrower scope, it's likely that either Drem's or Ralea's story could've received the attention it deserved. Too bad Danielsson exposed his short-story roots through impatience and only a tacked-on dovetail to the branched storyline.

By Bill Nemitz firstname.lastname@example.com
(Continued from page 1)
State Rep. Craig Hickman, D-Winthrop
Tune in to NewsRadio 560 WGAN at 8:08 a.m. today to hear columnist Bill Nemitz talk about this column and other issues.
Little of which ever happened. Aside from the trees and shrubs here and there, the entire park is now blanketed in finely manicured, infinitely boring, completely inedible grass.
"There's a ton of lawn around the State House," Hickman lamented. "We spray it and we mow it, and we mow it and we spray it. It would be great not to have to do that."
Just ask Vermont and Wisconsin, both of which already have up-and-running vegetable gardens just outside their statehouses. Or Seattle, which last year broke ground on a 7-acre "Food Forest" complete with fruit trees, berry bushes, fresh herbs and even the occasional lingonberry. (It's said to be great on elk and reindeer steak.)
But enough about the aesthetics. What will Maine's "Edible Park" cost?
Not a dime, Hickman promises.
The groundwork will be done with existing park maintenance funds. The seeds will be donated by the Paris Farmer's Union. And the edible perennial cuttings will come straight from Hickman's own fields in Winthrop.
Hickman hopes the design, overseen by David Boulter, executive director of the Legislative Council, will go beyond simple square plots and appeal to the eye as much as the stomach. He envisions two planting areas -- one in the park's northwest corner directly across from the State House and another near the main entrance on Union Street.
And who gets the food?
For starters, whoever wants it. The rest will go to Augusta-area food pantries -- a point driven home on the House floor recently by one of Hickman's co-sponsors, Rep. Brian Jones, D-Freedom: "The highest moral use of our land when people are hungry is to grow food."
Some might dismiss Hickman's crusade as utterly irrelevant at a time when health care, tax reform, municipal revenue sharing, bond issues and other hot-button debates crowd the public square. To which the ever-genial Hickman would say: Never underestimate the power of food.
"Everybody eats," Hickman said. "We might not all eat the same food or like the same food, but we all eat. This is about seeing agriculture when you come to the State House. It's about showing people what their food looks like throughout its lifetime. It's about beauty."
The farmer/politician from Winthrop just might be onto something.
Troubled times, after all, are coming to Augusta.
And nothing soothes the spirit like a mouthful of Maine blueberries.

My first reaction? "Well, that was quick." Virginia Gov.

With the smoke clearing from last week's elections, it's important to go back through and make sense of the chaos. Yes, most of these points have been made, but I'll also wager we as a community haven't properly addressed what they could mean one year from now and three years from now.

After Ken Cuccinelli ended Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling's aspirations to become Virginia's next governor, he remained idle; refusing to endorse Cuccinelli when he officially clinched the Republican nomination for governor. As the race progressed, the Republican donor base in Virginia went AWOL. In the end, it contributed to Ken Cuccinelli's sinking campaign. Ben Domenech, publisher of The Federalist, wrote today that typically donors are aligned with the | Read More »
As expected, the inevitable analysis regarding the races for Governor in New Jersey and Virginia has begun. As predicted, that analysis was thus: the way for Republicans to win is through moderation. Nowhere is the dichotomy in analysis more evident than in these divergent headlines from media competitors CNN and Fox News. The CNN headline: "Right Wing ideologue burns Republicans in Virginia." The Fox headline: | Read More »

Last night's loss to Democrat Terry McAuliffe was tough to swallow. The infinitely better man, Republican Ken Cuccinelli, lost by 54,946 votes. Yet, it wasn't because he was "too conservative;" that's the one thing I don't want to hear concerning why he lost. Simply, Ken Cuccinelli ran a bad campaign.

The Hunger Games have been pushed too far outside of the Capitol City for the Old Dominion to maintain its former conservative ways.

Ken Cuccinelli is a friend and I am sorry he lost. In 2009, the Republican National Committee spent $9 million to win Virginia by a big margin.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh has to modify his philosophy.
There is a time to be aggressive and a time not to be aggressive, and Sunday was one of those days when Harbaugh should have been more conservative. That approach almost cost him a game last week, and two bad decisions Sunday were major reasons why the Ravens lost to the Green Bay Packers, 19-17.
Harbaugh needs to learn when to take the pedal off the metal, slow his roll, so to speak. The aggressiveness can come later but the Ravens have to work their way up to attacking mode.

Two decisions to gamble in the second quarter were costly, and more importantly, wrong.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Faced with first-and-goal at the Green Bay 4 with 6 minutes and 57 seconds left in the half and only trailing 3-0, Harbaugh ran Ray Rice three straight times to the right for three yards. Instead of kicking a field goal to possibly tie the game on fourth-and-1, the Ravens sent halfback Bernard Pierce crashing over left guard for no gain.
The Ravens came away with nothing and Green Bay seized the momentum.
"You had fourth-and-1, you've got a high percentage opportunity to make that fourth-and-1," Harbaugh said. "I like our chances there. If you don't make it, you've got them backed up on their own 1 and feel really good about making them punt out of their own end zone, and you know, field position coming back the other way. They punted to the 50, they got a stop and we punted it back inside the 10 again, so, I think that was a good decision."
It was a good decision if you had an offensive line like Green Bay's in the 1960's or the Miami Dolphins of the 1970's, but this Ravens offensive line is pathetic, struggling and not getting better. These guys can't move out of their own way.
It's one thing to be an advocate of a strong running game and it's understandable giving the ball to Rice or Pierce on two of three plays, but one also needed to be a pass. And once it got to fourth down, it was time to kick the field goal.
It shouldn't have been that hard of a decision.
Before those four plays, the Ravens had run the ball six times for -13 yards. Joe Flacco had completed only 7-of -13 passes for 68 yards, but the Ravens were only behind by three points.
And more importantly, they had stymied Green Bay's offense. Until that point, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was having an off day and Packers receivers had dropped three passes. A 3-3 score would have been great.
"We are players, we do what we are told, I want to score touchdowns," Flacco said.
OK, Joe Cool.
But the Ravens didn't score anything. Nothing. Zero.
Harbaugh made another bad decision with 12 seconds left in the half. Faced with a second-and-10 at the Ravens 34, Flacco, out of the shotgun formation, was sacked and fumbled which set up a 31-yard Mason Crosby field goal with two seconds remaining.
Couldn't wait to hear Gambling John's thoughts on that one.
"I felt like we had a good chance with our kicker," Harbaugh said. "We had a better chance to complete a pass or get offensive pass interference than we did to have that happen. You've got confidence in your guys. You give your guys a chance to make plays in situations like that. They made a nice play and it cost us three points."

Retirement Benefits in Decline
Employers are eliminating their most valuable retirement benefits.
Traditional pension plans have been in decline for decades, and even 401(k) matches continue to be less prevalent than they were five years ago. Retirement benefits that are growing in popularity largely have little cost to employers, including automatic enrollment in 401(k) plans and a Roth 401(k) option, according to a recent survey of 550 human resources professionals who are members of the Society for Human Resource Management. Here's a look at how retirement benefits have changed over the past five years:
[See 10 Retirement Spots With Year-Round Nice Weather.]
Continued growth of 401(k)s. Nearly all of the employers surveyed (92 percent) offered a 401(k) plan or similar type of retirement account to workers in 2012, up from 84 percent in 2008, SHRM found.
401(k) matches decline. Fewer employers now provide a 401(k) match than in 2008. The proportion of employers that contribute to worker retirement accounts declined significantly from 75 percent in 2008 to 68 percent in 2012, SHRM found. And only 2 percent of employers plan to institute a 401(k) match in the next 12 months.
More automated features. Automatically enrolling new and sometimes existing employees in a retirement account unless they take action to opt out is an increasingly popular way companies are nudging workers to save for retirement. Some 39 percent of companies automatically enrolled workers in a 401(k) in 2012, up from 32 percent in 2008. Another 2 percent of employers are planning to add this feature in the coming year. About 19 percent of companies also automatically escalate the proportion of employee paychecks that is deposited in 401(k) accounts.
Improved access to the Roth 401(k). A Roth 401(k) option has been increasing in popularity, from 21 percent of employers offering it in 2008 to 34 percent in 2012. Some companies (19 percent) also allow funds in a traditional 401(k) account to be converted to a Roth 401(k).
[See 5 Ways the Recession Changed 401(k) Plans.]
Loans continue to be allowed. Most employers (66 percent) permit workers to take loans from their 401(k) plan in 2012, which is statistically similar to the 69 percent that offered 401(k) loans in 2008. And 2 percent of employers even offer a 401(k) plan debit card.
Free advice. Many 401(k) plans offer workers online investment advice (55 percent), one-on-one individual investment advice (44 percent), group investment advice (41 percent), and retirement preparation advice (39 percent).
Frozen pension plans. Traditional pension plans have continued their decline in recent years. Only 21 percent of the companies surveyed continued to offer a traditional pension plan in 2012, compared to 33 percent of companies in 2008. And 12 percent of employers indicated that their pension plans were frozen, making them unavailable to newly hired employees. Another 6 percent of employers offer cash balance pension plans and 7 percent provided a supplemental executive retirement plan.
Loss of retiree health care coverage. Many employers have eliminated their retiree health insurance programs in recent years. The proportion of employers offering retiree health care coverage to employees has declined from almost a third (32 percent) in 2008 to under a quarter (24 percent) in 2012.
[See 10 Things You Should Know About Your 401(k) Plan.]
Phased retirement. A few employers offer formal (5 percent) or informal (5 percent) phased retirement programs that allow workers to gradually cut back their hours or responsibilities instead of abruptly retiring.

working business model. That's one way to look at it.Socialcam is being called the "Instagram for Video" app. With this phrase comes the idea that, like seemingly every startup nowadays, the goal is to build an awesome and thriving community, pump up the product to the level of ultimate coolness and then cash in by selling to a bigger social company that may or may not have a
After one conversation with Socialcam CEO Michael Seibel, it seems like the future of social video isn't in selling your company to Facebook - it's in the niche communities that populate this tiny app. They are the true owners of this bustling social video community.
Spun off from Justin.tv and launched little more than a year ago, Socialcam is a social video app that gives users a ridiculously easy way to shoot a video, upload it to the app's niche-focused community and then share it to other social sites if they'd like. As of today, Socialcam has surpassed Viddy as the #1 photo and video app in the Apple App Store. Instagram has since been bumped to #3.
additional funding from some "A-Listers" like Yuri Milner of Startfund and Tim Draper of Draper and Associates, making for a total of nearly 40-some-odd investors. Like the app itself, it's nice to look at. But that's not where Siebel's head was today, when we talked.It also grabbed
Socialcam CEO Michael Seibel sees the potential mainstreamification of social videos as a way not only to share one's life story, but also to create community around the moving image. Interestingly, however, Siebel ended up as the CEO of Socialcam not through his love of telling stories or the image. Rather, he saw it as an opportunity that he just couldn't pass up. He studied political science at Yale University and thought he would end up in DC. That's not quite what happened, however.
From Politics in DC to the All-Video World of Justin.tv
In 2007, Seibel cofounded Justin.tv with his friend Justin Kan, Emmett Shear and Kyle Vogt. Justin.tv allowed anyone to broadcast video online through "channels." The original channel just included Justin broadcasting his life 24/7. But Seibel did not start out with a particular passion or interest in the tech world, or the video world.
"I think basically it was a level of stubbornness," says Seibel. "I got into startups because of Justin. I wanted to do politics with my life but was convinced that I needed to do it in a very particular way, which included working on a campaign when I was young, having a family, a mortgage and other such basic experiences."
After working for a year in DC as the finance director for Kweisi Mfume's U.S. Senate campaign, eventually moving up to the position of Finance Director, Justin approached Seibel.
"Justin gave me the opportunity to work and be a cofounder of Justin.tv, and even though I thought it was crazy, I also thought to myself 'when would I have another opportunity to start a business with my best friend?'"
Seibel grew up in Brooklyn, and describes himself as a guy who's always been comfortable around computers.
"My dad was a programmer," he says. "And I was excited about that world, but it seemed so far away."
After he joined teams with Justin Kan, he left his East Coast digs for San Francisco, and jumped right into the video world.
"It was a rough road, I gotta tell you," he says. "Everyone was a Deputy Downer for video companies, and we were a video company. We had to work really hard to survive. But during the process, I really started to fall in love with video."
For Seibel, half the passion came from what he describes as a chip on his shoulder, a response to the people who said he wasn't going to make video work. The other half of it came from a desire to get more people to use video to share their life and experiences.
Why Live Video Didn't Make Sense, But an All-Video App Did
Seibel recounts a story about getting interviewed by reporters in massive vans.
"It was hilarious because we were filming them live using our 25-pound video equipment, and they were standing up on their vans trying to film us live," he recounts, jokingly.
Much like its image-oriented cousin Instagram, Socialcam gives users the opportunity to add a variety of filters to the video itself. A short, "au natural" video can suddenly become newsy, "classic," "casual," or like an MTV music video. Music accompanies these videos too, if the user so wishes to add it - get some "street" music into the video, or perhaps some "happy"-sounding tunes or just plain tropical breezy. Socialcam gives users the opportunity to transform their otherwise possibly boring moments into mini productions, starring their friends and family, or maybe just a plain old fire hydrant.
When Socialcam launched in April 2011, it was immediately available on both iPhone and Android. There was no iPhone-exclusivity like Instagram. And there was also more than a focus on the filters themselves.
"Socialcam users are using more than just filters - it's the filters, themes and soundtracks all together," says Siebel. "Why? I think it goes back to the core vision of the company. We want to make video creation mainstream."
To take video into the space that photography currently occupies, however, is not an easy task.
"How many people do you know who have taken a photo class? A videography class?" asks Seibel. "Photography is a much more widely distributed skill, and it's something that everyday people feel more comfortable with. We want to take video outside of the black box, breaking down that barrier between the professional and the everyday person, and we want to provide people with simple tools to do that."
And according to Seibel, this will happen with the rise of the smartphone - because anyone with a smartphone has a video camera.
"Instagram didn't have to popularize photo-taking," Seibel says. "They were able to take the fact that people loved photos, and help them take even more photos. So for us, we're kind of doing double duty - we want to make you feel comfortable taking a video and being in a video, while also making sure it's fun and easy, and something you can be proud of."
Socialcam does not put a limit on the length of a video. According to Seibel, this would actually hinder the amount of videos published. The shorter you make the video, the longer a user has to think about how to say what they want in a specific period of time. If the video is good and the sound quality is high, chances are people will stick around and watch it.
Communication Gone Visual: The Moving Image Is Moving Forward
Socialcam is host to a huge variety of videos, from aspiring rap stars to sweet violin-playing musicians who mix their music with the tunes offered. And there's always a bit of toilet humor and inspirational talks to go alongside those more creative endeavors.
"We have a hugely diverse userbase," says Seibel. "Socialcam is a global network. We've got this amazing community of deaf kids in France who use Socialcam. They use it like a phone call - they use video to communicate with one another. I love to see that this stuff can just happen."
Aside from the popular trending types of videos and the niche communities on Socialcam, there are four categories that Seibel sees growing the fastest. The first one is family.
"Young parents take videos of their kids, and then send them to the grandparents who consume them," he says. "One of the most basic use cases is videos of my kids."
The second most popular use case is community - people use Socialcam to interact with each other within the community. The third is "what we like to call informally 'Jackass,' or stuff my friends are doing that's stupid or funny," Seibel says. "Before you would tell a story, and now you just take a video of your friend doing that."
The last biggest use case is a category that Seibel refers to as "traditional." It includes the type of Timeline-esque life events that you would expect, including graduation, Christmas and other holidays, birthdays, special events, vacations and weekend trips.
"I think that in the next two years, we're going to take a huge bite out of the number of people who take videos once a week," Seibel says. "When you're going back through the content you've taken, there will be a lot more videos, and it will be easier to browse and remember."

From a DISGUSTED USER: I purchased an American Standard Champion toilet and was pleased until the tank began leaking after 3 months. The red seal on the bottom of the float comes out of the groove. It must be loosing its elasticity. I went to both Lowes and Home Depot but they said that American Standard will not allow us to sell parts for the Champion.
I called American Standard and was told they would send me a replacement ring under warranty. Now on day 9 I have not received it. First Class Mail would have taken 3 days, so they didnt send it on the date they claimed. I asked where I can buy one and they (American Standard Tech Support) told me to check the web site which list was full of Lowes and Home Depot stores and one wholesaler who said they couldnt get parts.
What good is a warranty if they wont make warranty parts available? This ring would be easy to replace, about a minute. Their tech people said, Dont you have another toilet to use? Yes, I do, but I share with a family. Any other brand toilet would be up and working the same day. Should I go out and buy a Kohler to use while Am. Std. is deciding whether to make parts available? Maybe I will. Apparently, their under 10 year warranty means that you will never be able to purchase same day parts.
I pity the flack that their tech support people must be getting. American Standards management is obviously lacking some ability to have any concept of customer service. I certainly think the Home Centers should stop selling American Standard.

Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)
Resisting Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) recall
Courage to Resist. Updated May 4, 2010 [Updated PDF leaflet] [FAQ]
"If you get recalled my best advice is to follow your heart. Personally, I would not report."
The Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), sometimes called the Inactive Ready Reserve, is composed of former military personnel who still have time remaining on their enlistment agreements but have returned to civilian life. They are eligible to be called up in "states of emergency".
In support of President Obama's Afghanistan occupation surge, the Army is currently undertaking one of the largest IRR recalls in the program's history. Over the last eight years however, thousands of IRR soldiers and Marines have questioned this "emergency" and have simply refused and ignored involuntary activation—with few real consequences.
IRR related Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Courage to Resist published "Resisting Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) recall" in February 2009. Since then, inquiries from current and former military personnel affected by the IRR program have been a substantial part of our daily work.
This FAQ assumes that you have already read our original resisting IRR overview.
Important Update: Some "Post-9/11 GI Bill" benefits affected by refusal
Regardless of if you find your question listed or not, please feel free to call us at 510-488-3559 to discussion your situation.
Involuntary military service under the radar
By Sarah Lazare, Courage to Resist for Truthout. May 21, 2009
"I felt like I was being robbed of everything," Matthew Dobbs said over the phone from his home in Houston, Texas.
"I had visions of military police banging down my door and dragging me back to war." Dobbs, a 26-year-old former soldier who served a tour in Afghanistan from 2003-2004, was recounting a story that has become familiar in the ongoing Global War on Terror. It is the story of a soldier who, after serving a tour overseas and being discharged from active duty, received involuntary orders to redeploy to Iraq or Afghanistan years later.
Marine Benjamin Lewis pledges recall refusal
By Courage to Resist. October 27, 2008
Marine Benjamin "Benji" Lewis served two tours in Iraq and was honorably discharged in 2007. Recently, he received notification that he was a candidate to be recalled to active duty. Last week at a Winter Soldier event in Portland, Oregon, Lewis publicly announced his intention to refuse reactivation from the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR). Ten days before that event, Lewis spoke with Courage to Resist.

IRR Resister declares victory after misconduct hearing
By Matthis Chiroux. April 22, 2009
Today (Apr. 21), I stood before the Army. I looked a board of officers in the eyes, and I told them I thought they were sending people off to participate in war crimes. And what did they say? Get out of here, Sergeant, and keep your damn G.I. Bill!
Indeed, folks! The Army awarded me a recommendation for a general discharge under honorable conditions from the Individual Ready Reserve for my refusal to deploy to Iraq last summer. This landmark decision means not only am I a free man, I'm free to continue school this fall with the "new" G.I. Bill that I earned while on active duty.
IRR resister to contest discharge at hearing
Friends of Matthis Chiroux. April 14, 2009
"My resistance as a noncommissioned officer to this abhorrent occupation is just as legitimate now as it was last year." -US Army Sgt. Matthis Chiroux
(ST. LOUIS, MO) The U.S. Army will hear the case of Sgt. Matthis Chiroux, an Individual Ready Reservist who last summer publicly refused activation and deployment orders to Iraq, on April 21 at 1 Reserve Way in Overland, St. Louis, MO, at 9 a.m.
Matthis Chiroux publicly refuses IRR recall
By Courage to Resist. June 10, 2008
Matthis Chiroux spent five years as an Army journalist and was honorably discharged in 2007. In early 2008, he was recalled to active duty and ordered to deploy to Iraq on June 15, 2008. Chiroux has publicly stated his intention to refuse to deploy. He spoke with Courage to Resist from Washington, DC.
Iraq vet Brandon Neely successfully resists IRR recall
By Courage to Resist. October 8, 2008
When the Army recalled Iraq vet Brandon Neely from his Inactive Ready Reserve status to active duty, Bradon did not answer the call. Today he is president of the Houston chapter of Iraq Veterans Against the War. Brandon declares, "I looked at my dad and told him right there I'm not going back.... I never thought in a million years that the government and the President would send troops into harms way for nothing.... I got on the Internet and came across the Courage to Resist website."
Part one. 16:14 min. (above). Part two. 10:44 min. (below)
Facts of involuntary activation from the IRR
By Benji Lewis, Courage to Resist. January 1, 2009
I am Benji Lewis. I deployed to Iraq twice in 2004 and 2005 and was discharged honorably in 2007. Recently I have been involuntarily activated from the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) by the U.S. Marine Corps in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, an activation that I have been publicly refusing.
The IRR is an inactive group of service members who still have time remaining on their signing agreements and are eligible to call up in states of emergency. The current state of emergency is the open-ended Global War on Terror that includes the occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

A senior at Beverly Hills High School, he'd spent long hours rallying support for Barack Obama, and as the results from the Iowa caucuses poured in, as fellow Obama supporters packed the presidential candidate's California campaign office in Koreatown, Spitzer-Rubenstein turned jubilant, his enthusiasm mashing together with exhaustion into euphoria.
"Yeah!" he shouted, jumping up and down in a corner where he was hawking T-shirts, bumper stickers and buttons for the Illinois senator. "Obama! Obama! Obama!" he chanted with the crowd. "Fired up! Ready to go! Fired up! Ready to go! Let's go change the world!"
Then his cell phone rang. It was one of the many high school volunteers he oversees as the L.A. teen director.
"Hi, Amy," Spitzer-Rubenstein, 17, said. "So it looks like we did it. It's awesome. You helped make this happen. Yeah, every little bit matters."
One down, 49 to go, which means many more hours of lost sleep for Spitzer-Rubenstein. Far from alone in volunteering for the candidate he thinks holds the key to a better America, Jews are planted throughout most of the presidential front-runners' campaigns, from top advisory levels to grassroots street teams.
So much excitement hasn't surrounded a presidential primary season in 40 years, not since Bobby Kennedy was in the race. And for the first time in at least as long, California's primary will matter. Until now, only six states have cast their votes for party nominations, with Florida's vote Tuesday terminating the campaigns of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards. Maine's residents will vote Friday and then on Feb. 5, 22 states, including California, Illinois and New York, will go to the polls on what has been dubbed "Super-Duper Tuesday" and "Tsunami Tuesday." Meanwhile, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an Independent and a Jew, continues to play presidential footsie, presumably waiting to see how the field thins.
With the contest still up for grabs -- three Republicans and two Democrats still with a realistic chance of getting their party's nod -- Tuesday's race is expected to determine the ballot for the general election. And already quite a few Jews have been writing checks, working phones or simply spreading their candidate's gospel in an effort to court the deciding votes.
Julie Shapiro, a young lawyer for Universal and volunteer for Hillary Clinton, last week started an effort to get other female lawyers fired up about the New York senator. David Slomovic, a father of three, spent recent Thursday evenings opening his commercial real estate office for phone banking for Giuliani. And Dr. Joel Geiderman, co-chair of the emergency medicine department at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and vice chair of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Council, has spent his free time encouraging lifelong Democrats to switch sides.
"The two visions of America the parties offer could not be any more different," Geiderman said.
Jews in real estate and Hollywood were quick to get involved, too -- support had been strongest for Clinton and Obama, Giuliani and John McCain -- endorsing early, opening their homes for fundraisers and crisscrossing the country in support.
"We took our family holiday in Iowa this year," said Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Michael Lynton, who hosted Obama at his home last summer and went with his wife and kids to the Jan. 3 caucuses.
Tonight, MGM chief Harry Sloan will host his second fundraiser for McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona. Obama will attend one at the Avalon. And Hillary Clinton will be at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel for a fundraiser organized by the likes of Peter Lowy, Haim Saban, Barbra Streisand and Daphna and Richard Ziman.
"All of us believe this is an absolutely critical election," said Michael Berenbaum, an adjunct professor of theology at American Jewish University. "The last four years of the Bush administration have been disastrous. If we don't get ourselves squared away, it could be the end of the American Century and the end of the way the American Jewish community has been American in this era.
"We are voting as if our lives and futures depend upon it. Not because we fear someone is going to come out and kill us, but because we fear that if we don't get this right, our children and their children will not enjoy the privileges this generation has enjoyed as Americans -- the economic opportunity, the prosperity, the education, all of those elements that have characterized our existence and our flourishing. After Florida in 2000, everybody knows that every vote absolutely counts."
Republican or Democrat? There used to only be one real answer to that. Jews believed in three velts -- Yiddish for "world": die velt (this world), yene velt (the next world) and Roosevelt. And since the New Deal, American Jews have identified so strongly with the Democratic Party that supporting its policies, particularly its domestic agenda, has been part of being Jewish.
"Like most Brooklyn Jews, I was raised a Democrat, voted Democrat for years and years, and believed, absolutely, that Republicans were evil," screenwriter Robert J. Avrech wrote a few years ago for the Jewish Press in an article titled "Help! I'm a Hollywood Republican." "That's what we were taught from birth, right? Democrats are for the poor and the oppressed, and Republicans are for rich people and big corporations. Who questioned such sophisticated political analysis?"
An increasing number of Jews seem to be. Though the proportion voting for a Republican presidential candidate has never been as high as it was in 1956 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower -- 40 percent, according to "Jews in American Politics," (Rowman & Littlefield, 2003) -- the percentage has increased in each presidential election since 1992, going from 11 percent to 16 percent to 19 percent, until finally 24 percent of Jews voted to reelect President Bush in 2004.
"Whether it is the economy or the environment or education or healthcare, we think we are bringing new and fresh ideas to the conversation," Larry Greenfield, state director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said in opening remarks during a debate at Congregation Ner Tamid of South Bay with the leader of Democrats for Israel. "There is a broadening of the Jewish conversation as some of your kids and grandkids come home from college and say, 'Mom, Dad, I'm a Republican.'"

Globally the use of alternative therapies has been increasing in recent years for all medical issues. And people with chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) are higher users than anyone. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the combination of products and therapies found outside the medical treatments taught in medical schools or found in traditional hospitals. CAM today is becoming more recognized by the medical community, and is now commonly used along with traditional healthcare.
Before implementing any form of CAM, it is essential to discuss it with your healthcare provider, particularly if you are on prescribed medications. A potential CAM patient needs to be well informed. If interested, you should learn how to evaluate the evidence, cost, risks, and availability. Evidence evaluation should include anecdotal reports, laboratory evidence, animal evidence, and experimental evidence in clinical trials.
Resources about CAM include public libraries, retail health stores, and the Internet. Web sites that provide useful information on CAM and MS include the CAM web site of the Rocky Mountain MS Center; Oregon Center for Complementary and Alternative Medication in Neurological Disorders; Quack watch and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has established five types of CAM therapy:
- Biologically based therapies: diet, dietary supplements.
- Mind-body medicine: meditation, hypnosis, spirituality.
- Manipulative and body-based systems: massage, chiropractor medicine.
- Alternative medical systems: traditional Chinese medicine, ayurveda.
- Energy therapies: magnets, therapeutic touch.
A review of the literature to evaluate the use of CAM in MS reported benefits of exercise, vitamins, verbal and mineral supplements, relaxation techniques, acupuncture and acupressure, cannabis, and massage. Symptoms for which CAM is widely used are pain management, fatigue, stress, and sleep disturbance.
There are some very respected and low-risk CAM strategies that can improve health and wellness. These include yoga, tai chi, massage, meditation, spirituality, music therapy, therapeutic and healing touch, and Reiki. While there are diets, herbs and supplements, vitamins and minerals, and non-biologic therapies that may help, anyone interested should be sure to utilize resources to investigate the evidence based on the above guidelines.
Using CAM can help people enhance lifestyles and improve quality of life if the benefit risk profile is acceptable and the cost will not be prohibitive. It is important to expand our thinking about health but also to use deliberate decision making about long-term consequences.
Complement your treatment regimen with healthy eating.

Harrington lifts Bermuda title
Padraig Harrington stormed to a £375,000 victory in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda on Wednesday, his first win for two years.
Not in the four-man event - meant to be a battle between the season's major winners - until Ernie Els pulled out injured last Saturday, and only there because Rory McIlroy and first two reserves Graeme McDowell and Tiger Woods all turned it down, the 41-year-old Irishman had rounds of 66 and 67 to beat US Open champion Webb Simpson by one and both Masters champion Bubba Watson and last year's winner Keegan Bradley by six.
He joins 1991 champion Ian Woosnam as the only European winners of the title, and it was a case of third time lucky after losing play-offs to Angel Cabrera and Jim Furyk in 2007 and 2008.
Two ahead overnight, Harrington went to the turn in 34 with birdies at the fifth and eighth, but with eight holes to play was only one in front of both Simpson and Watson.
Then came a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th, and although Simpson narrowed the gap by picking up shots at the 14th and 17th, the Dubliner was able to bogey the last and still triumph on nine under par.
Harrington's last victory came in Malaysia 24 months ago, but he has not tasted success on the European or PGA Tours since 2008 and is down at 57th in the world.
After three-putting the 18th Harrington, who switched from the BMW Masters in Shanghai when the invitation came, said: "It was always the right decision no matter what.
"You've got to give yourself the chance - it's a fantastic tournament and even if I finished fourth I'd be quite confident that I made the right decision.
"It is a bonus to come and win, no doubt about it, and it was unfinished business for me having lost in two play-offs.
"I believe I'm playing really good golf. I see a lot of good things happening and I do believe that I'm turning the corner into a peak. What those peaks are, we'll wait and see."
Simpson said after his bogey-free 65: "He's playing well and made the putts you've got to make, but I'm really encouraged with how I played.
"My weakness this year has been when I'm in between clubs and I try to smooth one. My body kind of shuts down and doesn't work as well - it's just an eye-opener that I've got a lot of work to do in the off?season.
"I wish I could have putt a little more pressure on Padraig (at the last), but he'd probably have two?putted if he had to."

Whole-House Over $500,000
1st Place Winner
Turett Collaborative Architects, New York, N.Y.
Second Place:
Brim Consulting LLC, Architects, Northbrook, Ill.
Third Place:
Marrokal Construction Company, San Diego
Honorable Mention:
Kohler Homes, Burke, Va.
In a three-year project, Manhattan architect Wayne Turett and his team, reimagined, reengineered and recreated a drab three-story 19th century commercial facility. The result is a sleek, modern and ultra-cool Greenwich Village single-family home, fully tailored to the living desires of its bachelor commissioner.
Those needs included: three guest bedrooms, a master suite, outdoor living in multiple locations, a three-car garage, a media room, and an abundance of natural light despite being flush against neighboring buildings on three sides.
"The owner of the house is a young entrepreneur and successful businessman with a wonderful design sense and the ability to visualize a final product that had no relationship to the starting point," says Turett's summary in his award entry binder. "The project objective was to design a vertical luxury home that is designed around the lack of light and air typically found in NYC. The design temperament was to be understated luxury."
In short, the building was gutted. The original ground floor was lowered and the second floor raised up. The third floor was demolished and a two-story penthouse addition was built on top. The entire rear-facing side of the renovated building is composed of window walls at each level.
At the very top is the master suite with a private, street-facing deck accessed via the master bath. Off the second floor is the main outdoor living space, with a floor composed of a large structural skylight above the main kitchen/dining/living area located at the rear of the ground floor. Complete with a garden along the perimeter, this space is accessed via a light-filled, second-floor office. (The front of the second floor is comprised mainly of a media room.) Beyond the ground floor main room is a Manhattan-esque backyard, tiny yet open and serene. Every inch of it is covered with gray riverstones.
One of the Master Design Award judges was agape as he paged through the photos of this home. "Awesome project," he exclaimed, "very creative."
At completion in early 2004, the owner was left with a home very much in keeping with his original request, explains Turett. "Each floor has a different configuration, but relates to the others because of the openness of the plan and the transparency of the design."

So, it seems our wonderful friend Arminius2 has managed to finally get his IM client working. He has uploaded an early test version, which does infact work nearly flawlessly (over WiFi, I have not tried over EDGE, but I don't see why it wouldn't). Very basic functionality so far, no buddy groups, just your list in alphabetical order. Sending messages works flawlessly, you just have to tap the line entry when you bring up the keyboard.
You can grab it over at http://code.google.com/p/apolloim/
And make sure to thank him and whoever else worked on the project, as this is one of the major programs the community has been waiting for.

iMovie HD/iDVD Project Length for DVD's?
Hello all,
Just a few questions. I am *nearly* finished editing a vacation movie project and it has turned out being around 3 hours and 43 some odd minutes long. The max length my DVD-R discs can hold are two hours, so I know I'll have to divide them between two discs. My question is this...
I am planning to add chapter selections and menus to both part 1 and 2 of my discs, complete with music and simple still pictures for some of the drop-zones. Will my disc be able to accommodate that? How long should I each section of my video be chopped down to (for each disc parts 1 and 2) so that it will fit on?
Any suggestions/information you can provide would be awesome.
|Dec 2, 2012, 03:53 PM
You could always use a dual layer dvd for your project. Export to iDVD and it will tell you that the project is too long. Go into iDVD's Project Menu>Project Info...
There you'll get the option to choose a dual layer disc. You can also change the Encoding option to get more onto the dvd.

Must read for horror/thriller fans: Hope for the Wicked
Jan 16th
I was having a discussion, the other day, with a fellow writer. Said fellow writer was very much a fan of the traditional publishing method of claiming "authorship". The discussion inevitably turned down the path of how a few rotten apples ruin the reputation for so many small presses. To that I brought up Edward Lorn's Hope for the Wicked. Why? Let me explain.
