Many people believe they should resist military spending by refusing to pay federal income taxes. Earlier leaflets in this series discuss how to control income tax withholding and whether or not to file an income tax return. This booklet describes what the Internal Revenue Service does to collect unpaid taxes, and what war tax refusers can do to prevent collection, or to cope with it when it happens. Dealing with IRS collection efforts is a central part of the war tax resistance commitment. Some tax refusers who live below a taxable income or work for income that is not reported to IRS may never hear from the tax collectors. Most other war tax resisters (WTRs) face IRS collection efforts from time to time. How we respond to collection is as important, for some, as the initial decision to resist. We continue our witness against militarism when we confront and interact with the tax collectors. It makes sense philosophically and practically for WTRs to plan ahead on how they will act if the IRS comes knocking.
Some war tax refusers take active measures to prevent collection; others allow it to take place. Either path offers opportunities to witness against militarism. Which path to choose is a personal decision according to individual motivations and circumstances.
For the IRS, the first step on the road to collection is a tax assessment. The government has to establish that, as of a specific date, a specific amount of tax is owed for a specific year. Most U.S. taxpayers assess their own taxes by the act of filing an income tax return. Many WTRs also participate in this self-assessment process. Other resisters do not file a return. This choice has the practical effect of avoiding or delaying assessment. However, the government can file a return in the name of a non-filer, and make an assessment based on available information about the non-filer's income. To do this the IRS uses information from W-2 and 1099 forms submitted annually by employers and other income payers. IRS-generated tax claims are routinely mailed to non-filers with a demand for payment. The date of "final assessment" on such claims is significant. Whether a return is filed voluntarily or by IRS action, the government has ten years from the date of assessment to collect the tax owed. If ten years pass, the unpaid tax becomes legally uncollectible. The only exception is the unusual situation when the IRS initiates court action to prolong the collection period.
After assessment, the IRS sends the tax resister several computer-generated payment notices. These escalate in severity of tone, trying to persuade the resister to pay up. If they don't produce payment, the IRS will send by certified mail a "Final Notice," and if you do not pay within 30 days, they may seize your bank assets, wages or other property. Though they can begin enforced collection 30 days after mailing the Final Notice, it often takes several months, or longer, before they get around to active collection attempts.
The IRS usually moves against wages or bank accounts first, because they are the easiest assets to locate and seize. If the agency attempts to seize wages or other compensation, a levy notice will be sent to the resister's place of employment. This levy remains in effect until the total amount of tax owed, plus interest and penalties, is paid in full. A portion of the resister's weekly earnings is exempt from levy. In 2014, the weekly amount exempt from levy is $195.19 for a single taxpayer, plus $75.96 for each qualifying dependent. (Refer to the chart at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1494.pdf.) §-6334d Internal Revenue Code; IRS Publication 1494, Table for Figuring Amount Exempt from Levy. This and other figures cited in this leaflet are subject to change. Check with a counselor or IRS regulations for current figures.)
Levies from bank accounts apply only to the amount that you have on deposit on the date that the levy is served on the bank. The IRS can levy the same account multiple times, but it has to serve the bank each time.
The IRS can also seize property owned by the resister, such as land, a house, a business, or a car. Jointly owned property, in general, is not immune from seizure. The rules on jointly owned property vary according to the common property laws of each state. Any war tax resister who owns property individually or jointly should contact a war tax resistance counselor for detailed advice about IRS seizure powers and procedures. In general, the IRS does not seize valuable property to satisfy small tax obligations (not exceeding $5,000), but exceptions may be granted in certain cases or the guidelines may shift with the political climate. Up to 15% of each Social Security check and certain other federal payments can be seized through the Federal Payment Levy Program.
Some property is exempt from levy, such as personal and household belongings up to a value of $6,250; books or tools of the trade, business or profession of the resister up to $3,125; court ordered child support payments; certain annuity and pension benefits; certain service-connected disability payments; workers compensation; certain public assistance payments; and unemployment benefits. Note that a number of these categories are qualified by the word "certain." (§6334c, IRC) (For additional details, see IRS Publication 594, Understanding the Collection Process, free from IRS offices.)
For most war tax refusers the ideal is to prevent collection of refused taxes. However, it is wise to prepare oneself for the possibility that the IRS may collect some or all of the unpaid tax. If possible, resisters should join or form a local support community of people who will help spiritually, physically, and financially, if any of them faces enforced collection. While a local support group is best, there are mutual aid groups within some religious denominations, and there are some regional and national support organizations. Some groups share the financial burdens of interest and penalty assessments when the IRS collects from their members. Contact NWTRCC for information about the support funds.
Individual resisters may also prepare to survive enforced collections through personal savings made for that purpose. These savings may be in the amount of the refused taxes, but some people believe in giving away their refused taxes to socially useful causes. People who do this would be wise to budget for savings that they could draw on in the event of IRS collections. Most resisters want to invest such savings in socially useful ways.
War tax refusers in many communities have established "Alternative Funds" for collective deposit and use of refused war taxes. Such funds usually provide an option for WTRs who wish to place their refused taxes in escrow to be available for reimbursement in case of IRS collections. The interest earned is usually given away to organizations working for peace and to meet other human needs. Sometimes the principal is used for revolving loans to peace and justice organizations. You can get a list of Alternative Funds from the publishers of this leaflet.
Some war tax converters invest their "collection day" savings in Community Development Financial Institutions that support housing and work opportunities for low income people in the U.S. and the Third World. Information about such constructive investment opportunities can be obtained from the Opportunity Finance Network, Public Ledger Building, 620 Chestnut Street, Suite 572, Philadelphia, PA 19106, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com, Website: http://www.opportunityfinance.net. Some loans to charitable organizations may not be reported to the IRS; check with the exempt organization of your choice to see if they are required to report.
Holding tax resistance savings in conventional bank accounts has two disadvantages: 1) Banks report interest earnings to the IRS, using your Social Security number; this is the main way by which the IRS locates bank deposits for seizure; 2) Banks invest much of their reserves in U.S. Treasury notes, thus financing the very things you are unwilling to finance with your taxes. Many other bank investments support militarism and oppression at home and abroad.
Savings and investments that do not pay interest are not typically reported to the IRS, but a levy notice sent directly to a financial institution will reveal non-interest-bearing accounts.
Through a combination of group support, mutual aid, and personal savings, resisters can be prepared to weather IRS collections. Even better would be to prevent collection. Ways to accomplish that are the subject of our next section.
Compensation for Labor. The most reliable way to prevent collection of labor earnings is to be self-employed, or to be employed in small alternative enterprises that do not report their wage payments to the IRS. This is an important strategy for effective, long-term war tax refusal. There are many trades and professions that offer viable opportunities for self-employment, while avoiding the tax reporting and withholding system. These include the building trades, private practice in medical, psychiatric and counseling professions, home-based computer and accounting services, home nursing and child care, art, writing, etc. (See Practical War Tax Resistance #4 on self employment.)
People who have the flexibility to move quickly from one job to another can readily frustrate the IRS collection system. If you quit a job as soon as IRS levies your wages, they will often give up on trying to collect from you, or it might take them months or years to catch up with you at a new place of employment.
Another strategy is to reduce your wages to the level at which they are exempt from seizure by arranging part time employment when you are levied. Some companies that value the work of a conscientious tax refuser will agree to increase the non-wage compensation of the employee by paying the entire premium for comprehensive medical insurance, or providing other benefits. If an employee wishes to continue full time work, such employers will sometimes agree to donate the difference between the full time salary and the weekly amount that is exempt from seizure, as a company donation to charitable causes selected by the war tax refuser.
Preventing collection in the workplace often requires tenacious commitment and imaginative solutions. (See Practical War Tax Resistance #6 on organizational WTR.) Self-employment in many occupations often involves accepting lower levels of sustained income.
Bank or Credit Union Accounts. It is possible to protect deposits from IRS seizure. The IRS learns the location of all interest bearing accounts because financial institutions are required to report interest payments of $10 or more to the IRS. Collection can be prevented by removing all deposits from interest bearing accounts as soon as you expect or receive a "Final Notice" to pay from IRS. If you remove the deposits in cash and deposit them elsewhere, you can avoid leaving a paper trail from one institution to the next. Banks and credit unions are required to report to the Treasury Department individual deposit or withdrawal transactions of currency (not personal checks) of $10,000 or more per transaction. To prevent such reports people may withdraw or deposit cash money in amounts of less than $10,000 at any one time. For businesses and trades, requirements are more strict and include transactions within one year that are clearly related. See IRS Publication 1544, Reporting Cash Payments of Over $10,000.
If the IRS is working hard to find your assets, they may ask employers to provide them copies of the front and back of checks paid to you in order to track where you cash or deposit payments. (If you are using someone else's bank account, this might put them at risk of having everything in the account seized.) Collection agents may also focus on banks in the immediate vicinity of your home to discover the location of bank accounts, which could turn up a non-interest bearing account. Using a bank that is in another neighborhood or town could offer added protection.
There are a couple of other precautions which one might take to safeguard bank accounts from being located. A collection officer visiting your home (a rare occurrence these days) to ask you to pay might see bank correspondence in an open mailbox, or might question your landlord or neighbors about your assets. Therefore, some cautious tax refusers use a post office box or a friend's address as a banking address and also pay their rent and utility bills with cash or money orders. Others ask friends or family to write checks for bills and reimburse them with cash. In addition to depositing refused tax dollars, some war tax resisters have used alternative funds as savings accounts for their money.
Security Deposits. A refundable security deposit is an asset belonging to you. The IRS can serve a levy on your landlord and seize your security deposit (although we have not heard of this happening in many years). You can protect against this by arranging to pay your rent two months in advance, in lieu of having a refundable security deposit.
Motor Vehicles. The IRS discovers the ownership of motor vehicles by checking registrations with the Secretary of State of your state, or by finding a vehicle parked at your home and seizing it on the assumption that it belongs to you. When the IRS is actively pursuing collection, you can protect your vehicle by always parking it far enough from your home or place of employment that a collection officer is very unlikely to find it. Many war tax refusers have their vehicle registered in the name of an agreeable relative or friend who has no outstanding liabilities. Transfer of title should be done well before the IRS asserts claims against you, since they may seize a vehicle if they have reason to believe that you are using someone else as a nominee to hold title to your vehicle; they will be able to keep the vehicle unless you can prove that it is not actually yours.
Personal Property and Tools of Your Trade. $6,250 of your personal property and household goods is exempt from seizure. The IRS rarely attempts to enter homes and seize personal belongings, except in the case of people who are quite wealthy and owe the IRS large sums of money. $3,125 of your tools of trade are exempt from seizure. Professionals or trades people who need expensive equipment to carry on their self-employment business might consider having their equipment and business facilities owned by others, and leasing it from the owners; or the equipment and facilities might be owned by a nonprofit cooperative or corporation.
Real Estate. The IRS doesn't have a reliable way of knowing about your ownership of real estate unless you are living in it and using it as a mailing address. They probably will not know that you own a summer cottage or a piece of land in the country or in another state, unless they learn about it by chance inquiry, from someone who knows about it.
The most vulnerable real estate is a home that you live in and use as a mailing address, although the IRS has a policy of not seizing a person's primary residence unless collection is in jeopardy. Particularly in larger cities, you might be able to protect your home by never using it as a mailing address for any employment or banking relationships and by having an unlisted telephone number. This is the concept of "sanctuary address." If you always used the address of a discreet and supportive tax refusal colleague as an address for all employment, banking, and other official transactions, the IRS would never know where you actually lived. This method isn't foolproof, but it certainly throws significant roadblocks in the way of IRS collection efforts. Experience shows that IRS collectors give up rather quickly when they run into several dead ends, because they can't waste too much time on any one case.
A more reliable and conventional strategy is to have title to all land and houses held by trusted friends or relatives who are not tax resisters themselves, or do not have income that is subject to federal taxes. This can be a spouse, if the spouse does not have unpaid tax liabilities and does not file a joint income tax return with the tax resister. (But be cautious about this. Ownership by a spouse might create a problem in some states where all marital property is regarded legally as community property. There can also be problems with transferring property to someone else if you already owe money to the IRS.)
Another strategy is to have all land and houses owned by a Community Land Trust, which can offer a long-term or lifetime lease to housing residents. For more information on this concept, you can read about land trusts on the website of the New Economics Institute, 140 Jug End Rd., Great Barrington, MA 01230 or contact them for a resource list (413) 528‒1737 or (617) 401‒2235.
Inherited Property. War tax refusers who inherit large amounts of property usually find it impossible to forestall payment of federal estate taxes, which must be paid from the estate before it is transferred to the heirs. In addition there is an opportunity for the IRS to seize inherited assets to satisfy unpaid tax liabilities of the heirs.
Decreasing taxation on inherited property is a very complex subject, depending on the size and nature of the assets to be transferred by inheritance. Public libraries have many books on this subject under the "Estate Planning" category.
WTRs who expect to inherit property, or wish to pass on property to their own heirs, would do well to prepare for this situation many years in advance, and to discuss their conscience issues thoroughly with relatives who may be involved.
In general, estate taxes may be avoided by gifts and trust arrangements made before the death of the benefactor. Gifts before death are probably the surest way to avoid IRS levies for unpaid taxes of the beneficiary. An individual can give up to $14,000 per year to any beneficiary, without being liable for federal gift taxes. A married couple can give up to $28,000 per year.
WTRs expecting an inheritance might suggest that it be transferred to them in the form of non-taxable gifts, over a period of years, before the death of the benefactors. This is a common practice in estate planning to decrease tax liabilities.
Some WTRs who do not believe they should benefit personally from inherited wealth have renounced legacies, before taxation, by arranging for the estates to donate their share directly to nonprofit organizations selected by the WTR, but such an arrangement would need to be worked out with other beneficiaries.
A General Disclaimer. Some of the tactics discussed in this section on preventing collections might be construed as criminal violations of §7206(4) of the Internal Revenue Code which states in part that any person who removes, deposits or conceals any property on which levy is authorized, with intent to evade or defeat the collection of the tax, will be guilty of a felony, with a maximum penalty of $100,000 fine and three years in prison.
We know of no criminal prosecution of any war tax resisters for using any of these methods to prevent the collection of taxes, so the line between legal noncooperation and possible criminal concealment is difficult to define. Criminal prosecution for preventing collection seems extremely unlikely at this time. The IRS does not seem inclined to use this type of enforcement.
Conclusion. These are a few ideas on how to prevent collection of some kinds of assets that are most commonly seized by the IRS. If you have other kinds of assets or need to get a deeper understanding of how to protect the assets mentioned above, you could do additional research on your own, or seek personal counseling from a network of war tax refusal counselors whose names are available from the publishers of this leaflet. With imagination, thoughtful research, and determined commitment, it is quite practical to prevent the collection of tax claims by the IRS. Many tax refusers have prevented almost all collections from them, for periods ranging up to fifty years in the case of some of our older colleagues.
IRS collection actions provide a powerful opportunity for people to witness their convictions to the government and to the public. Many non-resisters have been moved to action by the resisters who are confronting the war tax collection system. It stirs people to see their colleagues and neighbors face a salary levy or a house seizure and auction, following their conscience in the face of difficult consequences.
Many war tax refusers take their stand at the point when the government demands that they turn over taxes for the military by their own action. However, they may not believe that they have a conscientious obligation to carry their witness to the point of preventing enforced collection. They may not feel prepared to lose valuable family assets. A parent raising small children may decide not to sacrifice the family home to an IRS auction. Each war tax refuser has personal beliefs and life circumstances that determine how to respond to IRS collection efforts.
Even when resisters decide to allow enforced collection, there are actions they can take to protest collection and bring their message to the public. Support and assistance from other war tax resisters is very helpful in this witness. The IRS tries to deal with individuals and families in isolation, to create feelings of fear and powerlessness. Community is an effective antidote to this. Organized protests often generate extensive publicity about the idea of war tax refusal, and strengthen local communities of refusers.
Although the IRS rarely seizes vehicles or houses, when it does it must conduct a public auction or sealed bid sale to convert the property to cash. The IRS then deducts its claims for taxes and costs from the proceeds of the sale, and must return any balance left over to the tax resister. Local support communities have repeatedly used these auctions to create public awareness, by organizing large numbers of supporters to attend the sales and to submit creative alternative bids that highlight the ideas central to war tax refusal.
When wages or bank deposits are seized the money vanishes quickly. WTRs may not wish to focus public protest at their places of employment, so the occasions for organized public protests have not been as creative. However, community support for these WTRs is important. Some local groups pool resources in special funds to help fellow resisters who have been victimized by IRS collections. Sometimes they organize rent parties and other fundraising events.
There are situations in which war tax resisters may face imprisonment for contempt of court. The IRS may issue a summons requiring a resister to supply information for the purpose of making an assessment or collecting unpaid taxes. Such a summons is legally enforceable. A resister may be brought before a federal judge, held in contempt, and placed in jail for refusing the judge's direct order to furnish the requested information. However, resisters who have asserted a constitutional Fifth Amendment right not to provide information because it could later be used in criminal proceedings against them, have never been sentenced for contempt. A resister who receives an IRS summons should contact a war tax resistance counselor or lawyer.
This leaflet summarizes the IRS collection process and the choices for war tax resisters. Many important details are not covered, and the laws, policies and practices governing IRS behavior change periodically. The National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee offers literature and counseling to help you when you feel a need for additional advice.
Here are some thoughts in closing: War tax resistance should be based on thoughtful conscientious beliefs. We believe it should not be done for personal gain, nor with the naive hope that world peace will prevail within a year or two and end the need for long-term witness and resistance against militarism. Advance knowledge and planning are the best ways to prepare for IRS collections. No one strategy of response is best or correct for all war tax resisters. Collection of unpaid taxes by the IRS does not mean a failure of resistance. Our determination to take a strong and open stand against militarism is one measure of our success. By refusing to do harm, by directing our resources to what we believe to be good, we are taking personal responsibility for trying to create a nonviolent human community.

Looking for a Designer
Tips to find the best one for you
Ok, lets say you do not know anybody in the Design community in Calgary, and you do not want to hire your cousin which happen to read a book about Design and is "between jobs" to do your design project. You are aware of your design needs, and you start searching Google for Design Company in Calgary. You might end up with thousands of results, but still it is hard to figure out which one of the options available may be the best for you. No worries, we are going to give you good hints for finding the best designer. It does not matter if you are looking for an experienced graphic designer, web design studio, industrial design company or ux design freelancer, the same principles apply to all of them.
Why ? Because we care about you, even if you are not our client.
This metaphor will help us to get started.
Let's say you want to buy a new car.
I know it is not the kind of choices you do every day but you may understand that this kind of decisions will have small and big repercussions in your future. It is probable that the decision-making process would go like this. What are my needs? What it can do for me? What it would say about me? And finally, how much can I invest on it?
If you love Mini Coopers but you have fit your five teenager boys on it, chances are this car would not be a good option according to your needs. Some cars are more useful than others, a huge pick up truck would be a good off road option, when the roads are frozen and you need to load big heavy boxes. Now let's say you are an ecology activist, then buying a Hummer would come even close to the image you have about yourself. Imagine you really want a Ferrari, and you are trying to convince the concessionary to get a half price discount. If you get it, congratulations, but it is more than likely they would not take it seriously.
Now, how this explanation is applied to find the right designer for me?
The Designers 4P's:
Problem, Portfolio, Personality, Price.
P1 = Problem: What are my design needs?
What are your needs? This especially tricky, and it is a common mistake to confuse the solution with the problem. Let's go back to the car example. Whenever you say you need a car, what you are actually saying is that you need is a solution for your private transportation problem, a car happens to be way to solve it, but a bicycle could also be a viable solution. Before asking for a logo, web design, business card, UI, 3d model, you name it… step back for a second, think about your strategy, how this project will bring you a ROI, who is your audience and what do you want to say. Chances are you might be jumping into conclusions.
Make sure the design companies or designers you are interviewing can offer alternatives (a car or a bicycle) based on a reasonable understanding of your business.
P2 = Portfolio: What this design professional can do for me?
The basic rule of thumb, "No Portfolio = No Designer". In the Design World, who you are, is what you are doing, did and are going to do. A good design portfolio has to be able to clearly tell you the past, present and future of the company.
Small hint, ask for the ugly projects, the ones they do not want to show to you. We all have our projects where circumstances are less than optimal. That presentation where the clients sent all the files two hours before the meeting, that day all the computers in the studio died, that occasion when the creative muse just did not show up. A design professional lives this kind of things everyday, but what makes him or her a good designer is being able to face these situations, take the most out of them and deliver a good service to you.
P3 = Personality: What the design would have to say about me?
The bound between a client and a professional designer is a relationship after all, and it follows the same patterns as any of them. Sometimes the romance last forever, like a match made in heaven; other times the story does not have a happy ending. Some personalities are not meant to hang around together, not even work.
Ask the company you are meeting how would they describe themselves? Be sure they are saying who they are, and not trying to please you and tell you what you want them to be. At the end, you do not want to end up driving a Hummer to your Green Peace meeting, right? Choose the right designer for you. If you feel you can deal with them, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, from this day forward until the end of the project do you part? If not, speak now or forever hold your peace.
P4 = Price: How much can I invest on Design?
Money, oh, that small detail. A good Design Company should be able to put a very well defined price policy right in front of you. Be careful of the free design with… deals, Ej. "Free Design with business cards". It would be pretty much like a plastic surgeon saying free beauty with nose job.
Remove from your vocabulary the words "cheap" or "expensive". You are in business, you are looking for ROI (Return on Investment). If you are going to put one dollar in design, be sure the designer will be able to bring two back. If a designer cannot figure out ways to convince you he will bring money from that investment back to your pocket, basically the results you will get are decoration.
Design is one of the fastest and most effective ways to create value for you company. A Ferrari is because of the time and dedication designers put on make it a Ferrari.
What if you are now able to tell the P4's just from the company's website?
Then it is time to go for a coffee. A good designer in Calgary is for sure addicted to caffeine and warm places. In my case, I am always looking for a excuse for a large Americano with lots of cream lots of sugar. Contact me.

Targeting Feeds
by Phil Leggiere on Apr 30, 2:30 PM
Advertising money has long been guided by the adage of going to where the eyeballs are. More recently, of course, that imperative has been refined to mean, target where the right eyeballs for your product or brand are. In pursuit of that premise, advertisers have directed substantial amounts of targeted messages to nearly every online venue available. Yet till now, as Bill Flitter, CEO of Pheedo, explains, advertisers have under-utilized, if not entirely overlooked, a channel rich in both eyeballs and targeting potential.

Demystifying Escape
by Steve Smith on Apr 25, 3:15 PM
Several years ago, when Universal Studios was feeling a bit depressed over its struggle to draw attendees to its Orlando parks, the company sought professional help. Dr. Mark Ingwer, president of Insight Research Associates, uses a hybrid technique to understand consumer attitudes and behaviors in relation to a brand, what he calls psychoethnography. The approach combines psychological interviews with behavioral research, in this case actually following families in Disney World and Universal Studios parks to understand the different experiences in each. As Ingwer demonstrates, behavioral research often can provide marketers with information about
consumers do -- but not a ...

Predictive BT
by Phil Leggiere on Apr 23, 4:00 PM
Online marketers often like to think of themselves of themselves as pioneers of a radically new world with its own laws, untethered to the ways and limits of the old world they left behind. In many ways this attitude is justified. But, as Bennett Zucker, vice president of marketing at aCerno, explains, when it comes to segmenting consumers by predictive behaviors, online has much to learn from the legacy of the past, particularly the paths blazed decades ago by direct mail catalog marketers.

Talking Back To The FTC
by Steve Smith on Apr 18, 2:00 PM
The people (well, about 60 of you) have spoken. When the Federal Trade Commission issued its proposed principles for self-regulation in the behavioral targeting industry late last year, it invited comment from individuals and companies. The deadline for submissions was extended once during the winter, and now most of the comments appear to be posted at the FTC site. Here, we wanted to call out a selection of comments and insights from the 61 submissions to give readers a flavor of where various stakeholders are coming into the debate.

Making Video Personal
by Phil Leggiere on Apr 16, 2:30 PM
Online marketers have made Herculean efforts to better understand the distinct and unique needs and preferences of ever more tightly specified customer segments. In theory the goal has been not only to micro-target media but to personalize messages. Until recently, online video advertisers, however tightly focused their audience, have, by default, been stuck with delivering a one-size-fits-all creative message. Danny Gruber, CEO of Qmecom, discusses how the personalization revolution and one to one marketing methodology can be brought to bear in the video realm.

Charles Schwab Should Sponsor 'Caddyshack' and 'Catwoman'
by Steve Smith on Apr 11, 3:45 PM
We are years away from addressable forms of TV delivery, but until then there still are ways that cable and network programmers can employ some version of behavioral targeting to their medium. For instance, AMC now can attach the viewership to specific movie titles in its libraries to a wide range of product preferences and shopping habits. In much the same way online BT can root out fascinating unforeseen affinities between certain content audiences and products, Charlene Weisler-Schwarzkopf, senior vice president of research at Rainbow Media (Cablevision's unit that includes AMC) can see that viewers of the comedy "Caddyshack" may ...

Targeting Beyond Transactional Behaviors
by Phil Leggiere on Apr 9, 3:30 PM
Serious brands, most marketers well know, cannot be built, nurtured or sustained by transactions alone. Yet most behavioral targeting platforms remain entrenched in a purely transactional model of customer behavior rooted in direct response. Moving to a truly brand based model of BT, David Rosen, senior vice president of Loyalty Lab, explains, means identifying, encompassing and integrating a wide array of non-transactional behaviors.

Do Consumers Know Their BT?
by Steve Smith on Apr 4, 3:30 PM
With the term "behavioral targeting" only now popping into the public lexicon, it seems fair to ask whether consumers, around which privacy and tracking controversies swirl, even know what the words mean. And so the new survey of users' knowledge and attitudes towards BT by consumer privacy group TRUSTe and TNS is one of the first benchmarks we have on general attitudes about this specific kind of tracking. We asked Colin O'Malley, vice president of strategic partnerships and programs, TRUSTe, to drill into some of the surprising results.

Letting Consumers Do The Targeting
by Phil Leggiere on Apr 2, 1:30 PM
It took the human race millennia to realize the earth wasn't the center of the universe. In its own small way, advertising has until recently been mired in an intellectual fallacy of its own -- namely, the idea that advertisers and their creative message were the center of advertising. Belatedly the industry is thinking its way outside that particular box and acknowledging that it's the consumer processing the ad who is, or should be, the center of the advertising universe. David Sidman, CEO of Linkstorm, explains how that insight might be integrated into the creation of ad units themselves.

The ideal time to go on safari will differ for every individual as much of it comes down to personal taste and specific interests. It completely depends on what you want to see and do. Wildlife concentrations are extremely seasonal and careful planning is required to provide you with best experience possible. Many of the animals do move vast distances each month but we will always tailor your itinerary to your specific month of travel to assure that you are located in the best area for wildlife viewing. Some factors that may influence your decision on when to go are as follows:
- The parks and reserves you wish to visit
- The length of your safari
- Special animal interests
- Lodging preferences
- Group composition (family, couple or friends)
- Safari style (adventure or luxury)
- Personality (off the beaten path or main game circuits)
Based upon the above factors we can have an open and meaningful dialogue and provide you with some suggestions on the most optimal time. If you are limited to a specific travel time, we can always tailor your itinerary to meet your expectations and requirements regardless of the month of travel.
Wildlife viewing in Northern Tanzania is superb year round due to presence of large concentrations of resident animals. However, if you do have flexibility with your travel dates, the green season (late November to early May) can offer the overall best wildlife viewing. There is an old adage in the Serengeti that 'rain means game' and this definitely rings true during the green season. The reason the green season is advantageous is that the famous wildebeest and zebra migration is concentrated in massive numbers on the open Southern and Eastern Serengeti Plains. This in turn attracts large numbers of predators including lion, cheetah, hyena and jackal. Additionally, the plains are a beautiful shade of bright green, dust levels are minimal, animals are in the open and easy to spot and you are permitted to off road drive on the open plains. It's a great season to get 'off the beaten path' and explore the remote corners of the parks. Please keep in mind that all green season months are not 'created' equal. Game viewing tends to be better towards the end of the green season (February, March and April) when the migration and all the large carnivores are at their highest densities.
The northward migration (early May to mid June) and the southward migration (October through November) are also optimal times for a safari and wildlife viewing. Game viewing can be tremendous when the migration is on the move during these two periods! During the northward migration in May, the great herds bottle neck at the Moru Kopjes attracting all the large carnivores. May is the time of the wildebeest rut and a synchronized mating pandemonium ensues as the migration comes together and marches off the plains. Male wildebeest madly dash about rounding up females and chasing off other males. After an 8.5-month gestation period, the synchronized calving takes place in early February. During the southward migration (October through November), the great herds stream through the woodlands and flood onto the plains as stunning thunderclouds form in anticipation of the approaching green season. It is an amazing spectacle to see hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle thundering southwards with lion, cheetah and spotted hyena in close pursuit.
The dry season (July to October) is also a great time for wildlife viewing. Massive herds of elephants congregate around the Tarangire River in Tarangire National Park while resident herbivores (impala, buffalo, gazelle and giraffe) flock to the Seronera River in the Central Serengeti. The dry season is a great time for predators and especially good for viewing large prides of lions along the rivers. The migration is located in the remote woodlands of the Northern Serengeti and this is the time of the famous river crossings along the Mara River. Superb off the beaten path drives are available in the Serengeti during the dry season with the favorite being the Mara River adventure game drive.
Regardless of when you travel, one will always have superb game viewing in Northern Tanzania. Resident (non-migratory) animals including leopard, elephant, rhino, giraffe, hippo, resident lion prides and several species of non-migratory antelope are always abundant (particularly in the Central Serengeti). However, there are certain months and even weeks that may be preferable to you based upon your specific wildlife interests. Talk it over with your ADS specialist and decide upon the most optimal time for your safari.

Byron Barrett/aka johnny rebTalk0
this wiki
< Byron Barrett
He's a pathological liar and too many drugs caused him to come up with many of these stories. He was a "fall guy" in Mid South Wrestling and he MAYBE wrestled about 30 matches and only one a couple of them.
He claims people such as Terry Taylor, Undertaker and Lex Luger are close and personal friends but when each of them were asked about Barrett, none of them had heard of him.
Here's his drug induced story: (Remember, he's a pathological liar and lives in a world full of dreams and imagination)
Johnny Reb/ AKA Byron Barrett. Meet the real JohnnyReb!
Born in Louisiana 9/16/64. He was raised in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Byron played Pro Football NFL/USFL
see www.topscoutfootballrecruiting.com
Byron/ aka Johnny Reb was trained by the great Jack Curtis Jr./ Kenny Massey. Johnny Reb's was introduced on television for the first time in Memphis Tennessee, at the Mid South Colliseum. Jeff Jarrett said, "You got your boot's green horn?", with a big smile. Thinking this is it. Johnny Reb took the worst whipping of his life.
Byron Barrett was fresh out of pro football and he thought he was a bad ass. Little did he know he would be blown up and out of breath and energy within seconds. Mean Mark, now known as the Undertaker and the Road Dog, tagged in and out for what seemed like it would never end. Over and over until Johnny Reb tagged Ken Massey/ Mr. Nasty. Johnny Reb was invited back the next tapping, On that Saturday morning, Johnny Reb hit the locker room and all the boys laughed. They were saying, "what's up Mr. NFL?. Knowbody wanted to work with Him! Finally Kerry VonErick stepped in and tapped Johnny Reb on the shoulder and said "hey big man, screw them! I'll work with you! "and he did!
Yes...Johnny Reb took the hits and he made the hot tag. He still got pinned and they went over, but Kerry led them out of the dark and broke Johnny Reb in. Lolly Dude and Johnny Reb reclaimed the Mid South Wrestling and brought in Terry Taylor to book. They soon were up and running the south like the old days.
Dick Murdock, The Fantastics, Tommy Rodgers and Bobby Fulton, Skandar Ahkbar, Jake Foberts, Sam Houston, The Late Great Angel of Death, Dusty Wolf, Ken Massey, Booker T, Stevie Ray, Disco Infirno, Jimmy Valentine, Buddy Landel, Stan Hansen, Rude Dog, Rainbow Brown, Kerry VonErick, Kevin VonErick, Rock and Roll Express, Buddy Rodgers, Hercules Hernandez, Scott Putsky, just to name a few!
At the 5 star Championship Wrestling. Johnny Reb worked with Dick Murdock as a tag. Then WCW as Johnny Reb and under the hood as the Assassins, with the Angel of Death. Byron Barrett tagged and single from 1988 until 2000 as the one and only Johnny Reb. He was many figures in wrestling, with and without the hood, and he worked with many of the greats!
No Back Yard wanna be wreslter, known to us as Mark, can claim to be a wrestler!
He is and always will be Johnny Reb.
When you are in a battle royal with the Junk Yard Dog, Doctor Death Steve Williams, The Fantastics, Dick Murdock, Terry Taylor, Hercules Hernandes and The Great VonErick Family, you have made your mark, period!
He did! He is the Real Johnny Reb/ AKA Byron Barrett

20 Baked Brie Recipes – with Cranberry Basil Lemon Brie
You're in for an ooey gooey treat! Today I have a recipe for Baked Brie with Cranberry, Basil and Lemon to share. This baked brie recipe doesn't use any kind of pastry, making it even easier than others. Today I'm also pointing you to 19 of the tastiest baked brie recipes online. Let's dive in and get cheesy!
In the summer, fresh lemons overflow from my fridge. I squeeze wedges into water, onto salads and into all kinds of cocktails.
But in cooler months, I don't use lemons as frequently and so I don't always have them on hand.
To make sure that I always have lemon juice, even if I don't have lemons, I've started keeping some bottled juice in the fridge. I particularly like the little lemon-shaped squeeze bottles. They don't take up much space and are easy to spot when I need them.
Also, the lemon-shaped bottle is what my Baba used to use. Whenever I take the bottle out of the fridge, I get to spend a second remembering her and her kitchen, which always brightens my day.
The first time that I tested today's oozey baked brie recipe, I happened to have a fresh lemon on hand and so I used it. For my second test, I didn't have a fresh lemon and so I used lemon juice from my yellow squeeze bottle. I was delighted to discover that I couldn't tell the difference. The bottled lemon juice offered just as much sour tang and brightness to the baked brie recipe as the fresh lemon juice had.
So, when making this recipe, go ahead and squeeze in some lemon juice from a bottle if that's what you have. It will work perfectly. I promise.
This recipe uses cranberry sauce. I love to make it when I happen to have leftover cranberry sauce in the fridge. This always happens after thanksgiving, making this brie a perfect recipe for the Holiday season. If you have leftover cranberry sauce, try out this recipe or have a look at my ideas for what to do with leftover cranberry sauce. There are tips and recipes too.
And now, here's my super easy Baked Brie with Cranberry, Basil and Lemon recipe.
(Don't forget to scroll down further and get the links to the other 19 baked brie recipes. I want to dive in to them all and know you will too).
- ¾ cup whole berry cranberry sauce (canned or homemade)
- 1 Tbsp roughly chopped fresh basil, plus some whole leaves for garnish
- 1 tsp. Concord Foods reconstituted lemon juice
- 7 oz wheel of brie
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a small bowl combine the cranberry sauce, basil and lemon juice.
- Put the brie on a baking sheet. Top with the cranberry mixture. Bake until the sides of the brie are starting to bulge outwards (this is the creamy cheese inside the rind aching to ooze out), about 20-25 minutes. Top with a few whole basil leaves as garnish. Serve on the baking sheet warning your guests that it will be hot.

News, Notes and Historical Information on the St. Louis Cardinals
[powered by WordPress.]
This was the opposite of game one. The Phillies jumped out to a 4-0 lead early but the Cardinals stuck with it and got back into the game. By the seventh inning, the Cardinals had the lead and so goes the tie series.
Chris Carpenter was tagged for four runs in three innings. From there, the pen took over and did an awesome job. Fernando Sala pitched two shutout frames and Jason Motte pitched 1 1/3 innings of shutout relief to close the game out.
The Cardinals put three runs on the board in the fourth and then Jay singled home a run in the sixth to tie the game up. Finally, Albert Pujols singled home Craig for the game winner.
Now the scene moves to St. Louis. It'll be Jaime Garcia going up against Cole Hamels.

2011. USA. Directed by Kelly Duane de la Vega, Katie Galloway . The dramatic tale of Bradley Crowder and David McKay, who were accused of intending to firebomb the 2008 Republican National Convention, is bursting with idealism, loyalty, crime, and betrayal. The radicalization of the boyhood friends from Midland, Texas, which began under the tutelage of revolutionary activist Brandon Darby, culminated in eight homemade bombs, multiple domestic terrorism charges, and a high-stakes entrapment defense hinging on the actions of a controversial FBI informant. Better This World addresses the effects of the "war on terror" and its impact on civil liberties and political dissent in post-9/11 America.

CHARLOTTE - The number of foreclosures on the market in Charlotte this summer is half of what it was a year ago, according to the president of the Charlotte Regional Realtors Association. The numbers mean more options for buyers and sellers and it's a trend real estate agents see across the state. "We're starting to stabilize the market again," said Jennifer Frontera with the Charlotte Regional Realtor's Association. Part of stabilizing the market is getting foreclosed homes off of banks' balance sheets. "For the banks, it's dead weight," said Brandon Wright, a spokesman for the North Carolina Bankers Association. The association launched a new website, REOdeedwagon.com , to help reduce the inventory. The site lists more than 300 bank-owned properties, known as REO homes. Wright is working to get more banks on board. We saw a need for getting this property moved back to the consumer," said Wright. When buyers scoop up good deals on foreclosures, it frees up capital the banks can use for other loans. There are more than 19,000 North Carolina homes in foreclosure, according to the latest numbers from RealtyTrac. Mecklenburg County has the most, followed by Wake, Guilford, Forsyth, and Union counties. "That only makes sense because of the growth we had," said Frontera. The Realtors Association said far fewer sales this summer are foreclosures, which means buyers have more options and sellers can ask for higher prices. "I think as long as that thought is in some consumer's mind that there's more coming, the price might keep dropping, they might wait," said Frontera.
The faster buyers and sellers act, bankers and Realtors agree, the faster the market could fully recover.

SAN DIEGO, October 6, 2013 – Ten couples remain in the competition on Season 17 of "Dancing With The Stars." For week 4, fans will see a wide range of ballroom styles including a few new ones added to the mix.
Julianne Hough, a two-time former DWTS champion with racer car driver Helio Castroneves and Olympic gold medal speed skater Apolo Ohno, will be a guest judge replacing Len "Grumpy" Goodman this week. Sometimes guest judges work. Paula Abdul was surprisingly insightful and fun to watch. Sometimes they fall flat, pun intended when referring to "Riverdance" star Michael Flatley.
SEE RELATED: Dancing With The Stars sends injured star home on Monday (VIDEO)
Some fans have complained via social media about her judging her brother, Derek, who is dancing with one of the frontrunners, Amber Riley. Hough is the first of several anticipated guest judges this season.
In week 4, the competitors need to show improvement or they will fall behind the more proficient dancers. At this point, you can see whether a star has already reached his or her maximum potential due to physical limitations, lack of musicality, or just not "getting it."
Elizabeth Berkley and Val Chmerkovskiy will perform an Argentine tango, which the injured Amber Riley and Derek Hough perform a standard Tango. This should play to Elizabeth and Val's strengths. Amber Riley has an injured knee and has had limited rehearsal time this week.
SEE RELATED: Dancing With The Stars goes Hollywood Week 3, Monday 8 p.m.
Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd drew a Salsa, and they should heat up the floor as much as they've been rumored to be heating things up in their personal relationship. Leah Remini and Tony Dovoloni drew their third Latin dance in a row, the Cha Cha Cha. Bill Engvall and Emma Slater should party plenty with the Samba and they'll need to bring it to stay on the show.
Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff dance the Paso Doble, which should be well worth seeing.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Sasha Farber brought a lot of energy to a wonderful Quickstep last week, which was underscored by the judges. They can get a little revenge with their Jive this week.
Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke will perform a Quickstep, which should suit Jack's excellent partnering well with Cheryl. It is a delight to see the Osbourne family front and center every week supporting Jack.
SEE RELATED: Dancing With The Stars results: 1st star goes home, game over (VIDEO)
Christina Milian and Mark Ballas have not revealed their dance, but they have already performed Contemporary, Paso Doble, and Charleston. An Instagram photo posted by Dnacing With The Stars shows the couple looking dramatic behind prison bars. It's safe to say they won't be dancing a Waltz.
Valerie Harper and Tristan McManus are off the radar so far this week. They've performed the Foxtrot, Paso Doble and Cha Cha Cha so far. They are due for an American style, perhaps the Quickstep or Waltz. A waltz would be a kindness and not unexpected if the producers are trying to help the popular couple remain on the show.
Assignments at the time of publication:
Amber Riley and Derek Hough, Tango
Leah Remini and Tony Dovoloni, Cha Cha Cha
Bill Engvall and Emma Slater, Samba
Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke, Quickstep
Christina Milian and Mark Ballas, NK
Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Val Chmerkovskiy, Argentine tango
Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd, Salsa
Valerie Harper and Tristan McManus, NK
Nicole Snooki Polizzi and Sasha Farber, Jive
Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff, Paso Doble
Fans can vote via phone for one hour only afer the end of the show in each time zone. Online voting at www.ABC.com and on Facebook www.facebook.com/dancingwiththestars will be open for 24 hours beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and closing at the same time on Tuesday.

Valiant's 'Harbinger' tackles conspiracy, secrecyNovember 26, 2013 @ 8:14 am
(AP) - The secret's out about superpowers among Valiant Entertainment's comics.
And for a world unaware, existence is about to be turned on its head from the streets of Tokyo to the corridors of the United Nations.
Such is the premise of Valiant Entertainment's "Harbinger" No. 20, out early next year. It sees billionaire philanthropist and industrialist Toyo Harada's secrets about superpowers exposed in a 30,000-page all-platform online expose akin to WikiLeaks in the real world.
Writer Joshua Dysart calls the new arc a window to contemporary times, noting that the title "has always been interested in using comic book superhero tropes to explore current issues like teen pharmaceutical addiction, female body-image issues, corporatism, etc."
Dysart, an Eisner Award-nominated writer whose previous works include "Violent Messiahs" and "Unknown Soldier," said "it was inevitable that we'd get around to investigating the idea of just how jarring and complex a world where all information, regardless of how dangerous or volatile it is, is free and totally accessible," referring to recent events about secrecy, eavesdropping and electronic monitoring a la Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning.
"`Harbinger' always wants to be a mirror for the world around us, albeit a funhouse pulp mirror," he said. "Being a monthly book helps us stay relatively on top of that."
In its pages, Dysart said that Harada and his Harbinger Foundation have done great things for the world, but have been harboring secrets, too. He's beneficial but not ashamed to protect himself and his interests.
"This is a man capable of great feats of mind manipulation. And he's founded an institution dedicated to training others like him. So we're talking mass mind wipes, telepathically projected misinformation and a constant physical purging of people who threaten his empire," he said, adding that while he has his supporters, including the U.S. government and the military, there are those who oppose him.
It's like any great conspiracy theory, Dysart added.
"In many instances his secrets are also their secrets," he said. "So, like any good conspiracy theory, it is in the interest of those with great power, both supernatural and the sheer force of the institutions involved, to keep the way of things secret and to fight out their conflicts in a shadow war."

Janine Wedel: Shadow Elites
September 6, 2014 § Leave a comment
Janine R. Wedel writes about power, influence, and governing through the unique lens of a social anthropologist. A professor in the School of Public Policy at George Mason University and senior research fellow at the New America Foundation, Wedel is the first anthropologist to win the Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order.
Her book Shadow Elite: How the World's New Power Brokers Undermine Democracy, Government, and the Free Market (Basic Books 2009) was named Book of the Month by The Huffington Post in January 2010.
Almost 200 Hollywood Celebrities Sign on to Israel's Genocide of the Palestinian People
August 25, 2014 § Leave a comment
Today, [Creative Community for Peace] say, there is not a single musical act, from Justin Timberlake to the Rolling Stones to Alicia Keys, that they have not approached and coached in advance of their performance in Israel. ~Times of Israel
It's no surprise that the genocidal Times of Israel is so eager to push anti-BDS initiatives. It's also no surprise that one of Israel's most well connected, elite whitewashing team, Creative Community for Peace [CCfP], is doing exactly what it vowed to do- whitewash genocide. However one might wonder about some of the names on the below statement that CCfP has published:
Iran: The Neocons Are At It Again
January 15, 2012 § 1 Comment
by Ralph Nader
The same neocons who persuaded George W. Bush and crew to, in Ron Paul's inimitable words, "lie their way into invading Iraq" in 2003, are beating the drums of war more loudly these days to attack Iran. It is remarkable how many of these war-mongers are former draft dodgers who wanted other Americans to fight the war in Vietnam.
With the exception of Ron Paul, who actually knows the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, the Republican presidential contenders have declared their belligerency toward Iranian officials who they accuse of moving toward nuclear weapons.
The Iranian regime disputes that charge, claiming they are developing the technology for nuclear power and nuclear medicine.
The inspection teams of the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) that monitor compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to which Iran belongs, have entered Iran numerous times and, while remaining suspicious, have not been able to find that country on the direct road to the Bomb.
While many western and some Arab countries in the Gulf region have condemned Iran's alleged nuclear arms quest, Israel maintains some 200 ready nuclear weapons and has refused to sign the non-proliferation treaty, thereby avoiding the IAEA inspectors.
Romney's Radical
October 28, 2011 § 1 Comment
The following is an excerpt from my latest article for Al Jazeera in which I discuss how the Israel lobby has taken over Republican front-runner Mitt Romney's Middle East policy through its man with a shady past:
[Walid Phares] is a one-time member of the notorious Lebanese Forces – the sectarian Christian militia which played a leading role in the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre (though there is no evidence that he personally played a part). It is an experience he now wisely leaves out of his resume. Nor does he include his association with Etienne Saqr, the head of the Guardians of the Cedars, an outfit the Congressional Research Service described as "[a]n extremist Maronite militia and terrorist organisation". Saqr played a prominent role in Phares' World Lebanese Organisation long after he was exiled to Israeli-occupied south Lebanon for his crimes against the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
But it is not this association with the Lebanese Forces and Etienne Saqr that grants Phares his expert's cache. He is an Arab with bona fide academic credentials who validates proponents of military intervention in the Middle East the same way that Ahmed Chalabi once did. Indeed, both once shared the same publicist, Benador Associates, a neoconservative favourite. Phares can make the aspirations of the Arabs and Iranians sound remarkably consonant with the interests of Tel Aviv. For someone who wrote papers for Israeli think tanks urging continued occupation of Southern Lebanon ("the only place in the world where Christian and Jewish blood is shed together for the defence of two Judeo-Christian nations") this might not be too big an imaginative leap. But his capacity to divine the real yearnings of the Middle East's Muslims is perhaps less certain.
Walid Shoebat and the 'ex-extremist' Industry
July 18, 2011 § Leave a comment
During the Cold War extremists like James Burnham, who declared themselves reformed Communists, pushed extremely hawkish policies which historians agree merely prolonged the Cold War by at least two decades. In a similar vein, a gaggle of self-styled 'ex-extremists' is today shaping security policy in both domestic and international spheres through alliances with the neoconservative right. In an excellent piece of reportage, Anderson Cooper, Kathleen Johnson and Drew Griffin of CNN recently exposed Walid Shoebat, one stalwart of this industry. Richard Silverstein who runs the excellent Tikun Olam began exposing Shoebat in 2007. Meanwhile in the UK, ex-extremist Maajid Nawaz of the controversial Quilliam Foundation, is being feted by forums like TED! A disgrace, indeed.

A thrilling excerpt from the new Tom Clancy novel
February 28, 2011 § Leave a comment
PULSE is proud to present this excerpt from Brain-Dead or Alive, the new novel created by Tom Clancy's Op-Center, written in collaboration with Gen. Tony Zinni (Ret.), Gen. Charles Horner (Ret.), Gen. Fred Franks (Ret.), and Chase Madar.
It was a dark and stormy night in McLean, Virginia.
Former CIA director and ex-president Vernon Manley Babbitt sat at his dining-room table flanked by his most trusted compadres, who in many adventures past had defended the American way of life against nuclear terrorists, Islamic fanatics, and unarmed folk singers. Their next mission might be the most dangerous yet.
V. Manley Babbitt and his secret team called themselves the BFD, and their existence was so classified no one knew what the initials stood for. The BFD was licensed to do anything, from waterboarding the president's mother to parking in handicapped spots, and with the safety of millions at stake, they often did. Babbitt surveyed his companions, tried and true, around the table.
First there was X, a man without an identity. Nobody knew X's real name. Was it maybe just X? That kind of head-fake would have been vintage X! No one even knew what X looked like, not even X's wife, because he always wore a brown paper bag on his head. He had ex-Special Ops written all over him, but not on the paper bag, which usually bore the logo of the retail chain where his wife had done the previous day's shopping.

What can the kids do?By Lily Katz & CC
I live in Maui, Hawaii. Last year our state government started losing money so they decided to keep kids who went to public school home on Fridays to save money.They call it Furlough Fridays. Lots of parents are upset about it because they need to work and there is nowhere for their children to go. I'm lucky because my parents are smart and plan things before. Instead of watchingTV or playing video games my family decided to plant a garden.
I live across the street from the beach and it gets pretty windy. So we decided all together to plant the garden on the south side of the house. The land had a big hill and we didn't use it much, so this area was a good place. First we dug up the grass and weeds.Then we built redwood planter boxes called raised beds.We used stainless steel so it wouldn't rust. Then we sunk them into the ground so they were all level.
We planted tomatoes, beets, herbs and carrots in two colors, orange and red. Have you ever seen a red carrot?We also planted sunflowers, lettuce, beans, cucumbers and radishes.
Every Furlough Friday there is so much to do. It's hard to grow vegetables. Our tomato plant kept falling down and we had to figure out a way to keep it propped up. Some of our vegetables didn't grow.We are still trying to figure out why. But a lot of the vegetables are doing well and I can't wait to pick all the vegetables and eat them.
I have a smaller garden where I am just growing carrots and watermelon. I plan to sell the carrots and watermelon so I can get money to make my garden even larger. I will keep doing this until my garden is as large as it can get. Then I will sell one last batch of fruits and vegetables then give the rest of the money to our family garden.
So next time something happens in your life that is not positive, turn the situation around and make it work out.

During classic cookout time, unfortunately, Scott's is a lil too fancy for most people I know. But, I'd be all over it!!!!
100% agree … they both sound yummy but I know I'd grab Scott's 1st :-)
We've made Jeff's Chicago dogs a few times and are having them tonight for dinner. So good! Scott's looks good too but not sure if the kids would be so brave to eat the gorgonzola.
I love Gorgonzola. I dont think Id pass up the opportunity to try scotts.
But if I'd already had it once, it would depend completely on my mood. really theyre different genres of hotdog. hard to decide. the fries look great.

The stigma attached to being a single parent is rising anew. Many media commentators blame America's uptrend in violence and other social problems on family breakdown - on single parents. This stigma is based on myths and stereotypes that have been promoted by half-truths and, often, by prejudiced viewpoints.
These myths can be confronted successfully and new strength can be found in the truth. As with so many aspects of single parenting, we rise to the challenge and become better people because of it.
The myths are sometimes subtle and subconscious, but the more we examine them, the more clearly we take responsibility for our lives and the lives of our children.
Myth: Predominance of the traditional nuclear family.
Our cultural mythology has it that single parents are an aberration, not the norm. Single parents often feel isolated, alone and different.
In the past twenty-five years, the number of single parent families has more than doubled. According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, 59 percent of United States children will live in a single-parent home at least once during their minor years. That is a majority.
Over 16 million children currently live in single-parent homes. More and more of these families can be defined as "binuclear" families, with both parents actively involved in parenting and creating two separate homes for their children. Divorce and remarriage, rather than being the exception or aberration, are more and more common in families today.

Definitions for filmstripˈfɪlmˌstrɪp
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word filmstrip
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
a length of film containing a series of related transparencies for projection on a screen.
Category: Photography
Origin of filmstrip:
A length of film containing individual photographs or diagrams intended to be shown in sequence as instruction or as a visual aid.
The filmstrip was a common form of still image instructional multimedia, once commonly used by educators in primary and secondary schools, now overtaken by newer and increasingly lower-cost full-motion videocassettes and DVDs. From the 1940s to 1980s, filmstrips provided an easy and inexpensive alternative to 16mm projector educational films, requiring very little storage space and being very quick to rewind for the next use. Filmstrips were large and durable, and rarely needed splicing. They are still used in some areas.

Change POP3 port
Hi All,
I am running a 10.04 server set up as per Falco's excellent Perfect Server how-to. I have one question as to whether it is possible to change the port on which Courier listens for POP3 from 110 to something else.
Can we change the POP3 port from 110 to another port? I am getting a little tired of the script kiddies trying to hack my pop accounts, and a port change will hopefully sort that out.
