MAROC - Jamie Stevenson Trophy Winners Again
It was another huge success for the Maroc junior team this year, winning the Jamie Stevenson Trophy for the 3rd year in a row, and the 6th time in 8 years.
For the first time we gained the maximum 600 points, by winning 6 of the 8 classes on offer.
Junior team leader, Finlay Langan, set the pace by winning the longest boys course, and his younger team mates matched his efforts with a multitude of podium places. Newcomer, Joshua Dudley grabbed the talent scouts attention by winning the boys light green course, and on the girls light green course it was a Maroc 1-2-3, for Bronwyn, Evelyn and Jane. Abigail showed her consistency by winning the girls orange course, with Elin in 3rd. Callum Roberts won boys orange course, with Ewan McMillan in 2nd. Joseph and Jake were 1st and 2nd on the boys yellow course.
There were many other excellent results, making it a real team effort.
Well done everyone. Many thanks to the other coaches and parent helpers on the day.

If I learned anything from A Charlie Brown Christmas, it's that dogs are hypercompetitive decorators. Also, that the season is woefully commercialized. This year, instead of giving commoditized, prepackaged, assembly-line gifts, create personalized presents that incorporate something that's uniquely your own: your photos. Here's how to make greeting cards, photo collages, DVD slide shows, and more--with one part creativity and five parts your own holiday photos. Let's start with a greeting card that you can design in a photo editor and publish with your own printer.

Meet Your Future Partner
What do architects think about collaborating more deeply with AV consultants and integrators? We went straight to the source and heard positive feedback.
What can be especially frustrating is the fact that a few questions up-front can sometimes overcome very simple design mistakes. John Godbout, CEO and founder of AV design/build company CCS Presentation Systems in Scottsdale, Ariz., says his company is working on a huge new building in Phoenix that represents up to $3 million in AV equipment and integration. When the AV team visited the site to examine the equipment room, they realized the room lacked a doorway–there was only an opening in the floor. "If we'd worked with the architects more up-front, there sure would have been a door," Godbout says. "And guess what? There was no air-conditioning duct."
Though considerable progress has been made in persuading architects of the need to meet with AV professionals early in the process–both by individual AV companies as well as by InfoComm International through its CTS for AV initiative (ctsforav.com)–it's still incumbent upon AV companies to take the first step when necessary. Godbout says that CCS Presentation Systems has people whose job it is to reach out to architects and general contractors (GC). "When we hear about a job, we'll call the GC, find out who the architect is, and call them to try and secure an up-front meeting," he says. "Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't."
For all the efforts by AV pros, and for all the receptiveness of today's architects, there's still room to improve collaboration betweem the two sides. Godbout says only about one-quarter of the projects CCS works on would qualify as optimal partnerships between his company and the architect. But just a couple years ago, when CCS started actively reaching out to architects, none of the projects the company worked on were true collaborations.
"Some companies started earlier, but we're just getting into it," Godbout says. He recognizes that AV consultants have been at it even longer, helping architects realize the potential of advance AV systems. But still, he says, "Pro AV integrators are the function to the architect's form."
Craig Park, FSMPS, Assoc. AIA, is a principal with national technology consultants The Sextant Group. He trained as an architect and has practiced as an AV consultant for more than 25 years. Pro AV editor Brad Grimes contributed to this story.

Not long ago, I was promoted to Associate Editor at the local Toronto magazine where I had been working as an Assistant Online Editor. Shortly after receiving the news, I cried at my desk. They were not tears of joy. No. These were snot-is-coming-out-of-my-nose-running-into-my-mouth tears. These were I-am-an-uglier-crier-than-James-Van-der-Beek tears.
My co-worker sent me an email, asking: "Is everything okay?"
It clearly wasn't.
Amidst curious stares and GChat gossip, I dashed outside to the parking lot and called the one person who, much to my stubborn Capricorn chagrin, always had the best advice: Mom. Keep reading »

S**y Timepiece A man is sitting at a bar one night, wearing a fancy new watch, covered with buttons and lights and dials. The woman next to him says, "Wow, that's a really fancy watch." Thanks, says the guy, "It's the cutting edge of technology. I can telepathically ask this watch anything I want to know, and it'll answer me, telepathically." "Rubbish," says the girl. "No, it's true," says that guy. "Look, tell you what, I'll prove it. I'll ask it if you've got any panties on." The guy scrunches up his eyes for a moment, as if concentrating hard to talk to his watch, then opens them and says, "Nope, it says you haven't got any panties on." "Well, it's wrong," says the girl, "I do have panties on." "D**n," says the guy, slapping his watch, "it's an hour fast!" .................................................................. Flower Bribes One Friday, two women were sitting and talking. One woman looked up and saw her husband coming down the street with a bunch of flowers in his hand. She rolled her eyes and said, "There comes the a**hole with flowers in his hand. Now he'll expect me to spend the weekend on my back with my legs in the air." Her friend promptly replied, "Don't you have a vase?" ................................................................................................... The Firing Squad A man was scheduled to go before a firing squad for his crimes. The evening before his execution, he was asked what he wanted for his last meal. He refused the meal completely. The next morning the man was brought before the firing squad. When asked for his last request, the man said he had none. The General in charge of his execution asked him, ''Sir, you refused your last meal and your last request. Isn't there anything you want before you die?'' The man thought for a moment, then said, ''Music has always been an important part of my life. If I could do but one thing before I die, would you allow me to sing my favorite song from beginning to end, without interruption?'' The General thought this was a reasonable request, and ordered his men to lower their weapons and to not interrupt for the duration of the song. ''Ten million bottles of beer on the wall...'' ................................................................................................. P***s and Bread Dad: Son, what is the difference a p***s and a loaf of bread? Son: I don't know. Dad: Then remind me to never send you to the store for a loaf of bread. ................................. cute girl |

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them,then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" "Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that d**n cue ball he measures everything first!" This post has been edited 1 time.

Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District (CSD) serves a small, rural population of less than 4,000. The district is solely reliant on the local public utility to provide electricity for their wastewater treatment plant and pumps, but was looking to switch to alternative energy sources.
USDA Rural Development worked with the district to complete an application that would help them develop long-term alternative energy sources for their plant and systems. Through the Water and Waste Disposal program, USDA Rural Development approved a $640,000 loan and $1,091,000 grant to develop a new solar field. The district leveraged this project with nearly $700,000 of their own funds.
Covering approximately one acre, the new solar field will provide nearly all of the electrical energy needs for Hidden Valley Lake CSD to power the sewage utility, and substantially reduce their reliance on traditional energy. As well, the district's diversified source of energy will hedge its position against the future uncertainty of energy costs.
Construction on this project is planned to start in summer, 2011. Once complete, the residents of them Hidden Valley Lake area will have a modern sewer system that is powered by the sun for many years to come.

EDMOND – In its last game before turning in records for postseason pairings, El Reno High School boys basketball coach Rodney Haydon felt his team needed to send a statement.
Consider one delivered.
El Reno schooled Deer Creek on the fine art of 3-point shooting for 16 minutes, then flipped the game plan for the final two periods en route to an eyebrow-raising 58-38 victory over the Antlers – ranked No.17 in Class 5A.
"We were thinking we needed a big game and that we had to come out and play hard," said El Reno guard Justin Harris.
"We had to play. It was a very important game. Rankings go out after this game so we needed to get this win to look good in the rankings."
The Indians, ranked No.11 in the same poll, improved to 11-7 on the year with its fourth straight victory, which led to a regular-season sweep of the Antlers. The road win was the first for El Reno in the series with Deer Creek in four years and pushed EHS to 6-4 in the Suburban Conference standings.
"You tell me," said Haydon with a smile when asked if the win sent a statement. "I'll let you write about that. Defensive-wise, we did a good job tonight. On offense we had a bunch of guys that hit shots. We never had that drought."
El Reno set the tone early as Justin Harris buried a pair of 3-pointers in the opening quarter. Justin Brown and Bryon Elledge added a basket each before Kasey Gill ripped a trey from the left corner just inside the buzzer for a 13-7 lead.
The Indians kept up the perimeter pressure as Bailey Denny netted a trey from the top of the arc to open the second period. Elledge followed with a trey at the 5:21 mark before Christian Wassana's (4:21) 3-pointer gave EHS six for the half and a 26-12 lead.
Deer Creek got it back to a 10-point game, 26-16, before Josh Bushyhead scored the last three points of the half for EHS. The post hit a free throw (1:50), followed by a wide-open layup off a skip pass from Brown with two seconds left to send EHS into the half leading 29-16.
Then came the switch on offense.
El Reno did not take a shot from the perimeter in the third period, instead attacking the interior for 16 points on 8-of-11 shooting. Seven of the eight baskets came from within the paint, four from Brown and three from Michael Jones.
The other basket, by Jones, came from just outside the free-throw line.
El Reno led 45-27 after three periods.
The lead hit 20 points on a basket off a 2-on-1 fast break by Harris to open the fourth period. Deer Creek cut the deficit to 16 points, before El Reno hit its lone outside shot of the second half by Harris with 5:02 left in the game.
El Reno, leading 51-32 after the trey, went back to the inside assault. Jones tacked on two baskets and Denny hit a third for a 57-36 lead. Elledge hit the back end of a two-shot trip to the free-throw line with 51.2 seconds left to secure the 20-point victory.
El Reno ended the game shooting 23-of-37 from the floor for 62.2 percent, which included a 7-of-14 effort from the perimeter.
"That's not our offense, it was just something we drew up at the half and it worked. It was layup after layup," said Haydon.
Brown flirted with a rare triple-double with a line of 11 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and a blocked shot. Harris chipped in 11 points, two assists and two caroms.
Jones led El Reno in scoring with 16 points, five boards and three assists. Elledge added six points and two caroms, while Denny had five points and a carom.
Gill, Bushyhead and Wassana each had three points and combined for two rebounds. Sage Lamebull pulled down five rebounds.

text: Today I received my luggage tags and information on Disney's Magical Express. In the information book that came with it, it says that the bus will pick us up at our resort on our day of departure approximately 3 hours prior to hour flight time. If anyone has used Magical Express before, can you tell me if this is accurate? Is it really 3 hours? Our plane takes off at 1:40 pm that day, and we have breakfast reservations at Chef Mickey's for 9:15. That would leave us less than an hour and a half to eat breakfast and get back to the hotel in time for the pick-up for the airport. How long does a character breakfast usually take? Should I reschedule our reservation for earlier in the morning?

Need flex value? The waiver wire has an overflowing abundance of flexing fun. Need a viable, sure-fire, trusted option? Welp, see ya later.
Let's play a drinking game, and take a shot every time you read the word "flex" in the many sentences below. If you make it through the entire post, you sir are a champion.
We're skipping quarterbacks this week, though we're only skipping them in the sense that our analysis of the QB wire can't be read right now, at this very instant. Our excitement to find solutions for the Robert Griffin III owner should he miss time this week couldn't be contained, so we took an extra long and extra deep and extra good look at the QB waiver options yesterday.
Alright then, let's get drinking.
Running Backs
1. David Wilson: Yeah, he's still behind Ahmad Bradshaw on the Giants' RB depth chart, but he could be behind him only because two bodies can't occupy the same space at the same time (this guy passed his first-year university philosophy elective). And clearly if Bradshaw is either out or limited again due to his knee problems — both strong possibilities after he underwent an MRI yesterday — then Wilson's Week 15 potential will quickly escalate. He's earned more touches and more playing time in general after finishing with 100 yards on just 13 carries this past Sunday night against the Saints (7.7 yards per carry) while also averaging an absurd 56.8 yards on his four kick returns. Add it all up and he set the Giants' record for single-game all-purpose yards (327). If you're tempted to cast his performance aside because it came against the Saints — owners of the worst rush defense in the league that's giving up over 150 yards per game — please note Wilson's next opponent. The Falcons have also been woeful against the run with a front seven that's ranked 23rd, and they just allowed 195 yards on the ground against the Panthers. Bradshaw will be on the high end of a split if he's healthy (think 70-30), but Wilson still gives you quality flex value in an ideal matchup.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 40.3%, Yahoo – 32%
2. Alex Green: I realize you'd rather stick your head in a freezer filled with human urine than own a Green Bay running back, but work with me here for a second. Similar to Wilson, you're seeking flex value here with this pickup, and Green will produce that in abundance, possibly giving you more production than Wilson since he leads the Packers' backfield platoon. Green's had 127 rushing yards over his last two games on just 25 carries (five yards per carry). That's five-to-seven points out of your flex spot, efficient numbers that shouldn't be overlooked. Green will also be opposing a Bears run defense that's still playing without Brian Urlacher.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 3.9%, Yahoo – 29%
3. Montell Owens: Maurice Jones-Drew's health remains uncertain, and at this point it's a very real possibility that he could miss the remainder of the season. Hey, at least he came at a draft day discount because he spent all of August demanding mo money and less problems, right? Right. Anywho, enter Owens since every other Jaguars running back spontaneously combusted (Rashad Jennings, Jalen Parmele). And of course, the fourth time is the charm, or whatever, as Owens had 91 rushing yards and a touchdown in his starting debut, fun and profitable math that leads to 15 fantasy points. That made Owens the 11th best fantasy running back in Week 14, ahead of Arian Foster and Frank Gore, and tied with Alfred Morris and Trent Richardson.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 8.8%, Yahoo – 23%
Wide Receivers
1. Josh Gordon: Gordon has appeared in this prestigious space before, and likely several times. And he may appear a few more times next week and beyond if his ownership doesn't rise quickly. I get that bye weeks are long gone, and the talent pool is flooded at the wide receiver position. But Gordon being unowned in half of Yahoo leagues is a little ridiculous, you guys. Earlier in the year this was a player who was capable of only running really fast and then looking up, hoping a football was there waiting for him. And he can still do that, but lately he's shown that a new dog can learn new tricks. After he had 12 catches during a five-game stretch between weeks 5 and 9 that he still turned into 324 receiving yards (yep, 27 yards per catch), Gordon now has 14 catches over just the Browns' last two games. That's led to 202 yards and a touchdown, and Sunday Gordon was targeted 12 times, a season high. If Gordon is available in your league, you should be putting a claim on him in about five minutes, the time it takes to finish reading this post (please keep me employed, thx).
Percentage owned: ESPN – 37.9%, Yahoo – 50%
2. Jason Avant: There's a lot to like about Avant's situation too, words I never thought I'd write about the Eagles' offense. Avant's 19.3 yards per catch average over the past two weeks has led to 212 yards, and like Gordon he's getting targeted often. With 12 targets Sunday during Philly's win over the Bucs, Avant now has 17 over the past two weeks. Now, let's maintain a bit of perspective here, as his 133-yard day against Tampa came against the league's worst secondary, and the Bengals' 10th-ranked pass defense led by Nate Clements and Leon Hall is teed up for tomorrow night, along with the top pass rushing defense that leads the league with 42 sacks. So yeah, both of those things could be problematic, but with Avant's high target volume set to increase even further with Brent Celek out and Jeremy Maclin hurting, he's still worth a flex play.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 0.5%, Yahoo – 3%
3. Rod Streater: Usually I'm not the kind of person who says atoadaso. But you know what? Atoadaso. Streater has suddenly busted out over the Raiders' last two games with 196 receiving yards on just seven catches. Mind you, that 28 yards per reception has been back-filled with catches for 64 and 58 yards, so it's difficult to read too deeply into those sporadic outbursts. But at worst there's still deep league flex value here against a Chiefs secondary that's allowed 25 touchdowns, the second worst total in the league.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 0.4%, Yahoo – 2%
Tight Ends
1. Dwayne Allen: Dammit this is painful. We're greeted with just barren nothingness on the tight end wire this week, and the position as a whole has been sucked dry between the continued replacement-level play of Vernon Davis and Antonio Gates, and the injury to Brent Celek. But although Allen had an 11-yard dud of a game in Week 14, he's still not a bad place to start if you're desperate. Prior to Sunday against the Titans he was averaging 52.8 receiving yards over his last six games. Five fantasy points from a reaching tight end? Where do I sign.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 2.5%, Yahoo – 12%
2. Benjamin Watson: Also filed under "you could do worse" is Watson, who's averaging nearly 50 receiving yards over his last four games, and in two of those games he was targeted at least eight times. He still has a prominent role as a checkdown bail out option.
Percentage owned: ESPN – 4.2%, Yahoo – 2%
3. Rob Housler: How the hell could the Cardinals' tight end have any value whatsoever when Larry Fitzgerald is borderline drop-able? Well, those in point per reception leagues need to note the collective calamity of the Arizona quarterbacks, and the resulting frequency with which they target Housler, as he has 27 targets over his last three games. That's led to 19 receptions over that stretch, and 133 yards. Somehow we live in a world where Rob Housler may be the only receiving option with any value on the Cardinals' roster.

Curt Swan - Superman artist
From MN150
Other Nominations
Curt Swan was born on February 17, 1920, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He received his art training in grammar school, given regular projects by his teachers who recognized his abilities. He was drafted in 1940 and spent the whole war in the Army. While in the Army he was assigned to Stars and Stripes, the G.I. magazine published by the Army. When he returned to the States in 1945, he began working at DC, with his earliest work on Simon & Kirbys Boy Commandos, at $18 a page. He quickly discovered that it was a lot of work and at the suggestion of a friend, he began to just pencil pages, leaving the inks to faster practitioners. For the next few years he drew many different features including Tommy Tommorrow and Gangbusters. Slowly he began to draw Superman stories when the regular Superman artists Wayne Boring, Al Plastino, Stan Kaye and for many covers, Win Mortimer. He did some Superboy stories, some Jimmy Olsens and finally in 1953 he drew the 3-D Superman and shortly thereafter became one of the regular artists on the feature, eventually doing hundreds of covers and stories with the red and blue suited hero. He drew the comic strip from the late fifties until its demise in 1964. Curt's Superman is unquestionably among the most remembered depictions of the character, having become the artist most closely associated with Superman from 1958-1985. His style in many ways also epitomized for many the superhero books put out by DC for several years. He retired from DC in 1985, doing only sporadic work for them in later years. But he made several appearances at comic book conventions after his retirement. He had said that he never expected comic books to last and thought that his employment in the industry would be nothing more than temporary, but it resulted in four decades of work and his becoming one of the comic icons of the sixties generation. Curt died on June 16, 1996. He was 76 years old.

Exclusive Video: See Creatures of the Wind's Swarovski-Embellished Collection in Action
Creatures of the Wind designers Shane Gabier and Chris Peters studded their buzzed-about fall collection with thousands of sparkling Swarovski crystals. But rather than simply integrate them into black-tie looks, as expected, the duo also used the stones on casual staples like crisp, white button-up shirts.
In this video, Gabier and Peters chat about the origin of their label's name (turns out it's taken from the 1957 Johnny Mathis song "Wild Is The Wind") and their otherwordly fall offerings.

I first met James last March when the Back on My Feet journey began in Indianapolis. He was one of the inaugural members. If one thing hasn't changed about James in the past year, it's his positive attitude and friendly personality. You don't feel like a stranger when you meet him and would never guess what he happens to be overcoming in his life.
James was our first Member of the Month last March. He had already started the journey to bring him to where he is today, but since then even more has happened.
I have been fortunate enough to watch James grow throughout this process. I remember some of his first one mile runs and was honored to be able to run his first marathon with him eight short months later.
Beyond running marathons, James has accomplished several other monumental goals, since joining Back on My Feet in March 2011, he has stayed sober, quit smoking, lost weight, purchased a car, moved into his own home and started a new job at BoMF employment partner Gilchrist and Soames.
James is an active Alumni Member of the program and still runs with the team on a regular basis. He is also a strong advocate and has spoke about the program to many different companies and organizations in Indianapolis.
"Back on My Feet was a much needed catalyst, that propelled me into the realm of self discovery and because of this I've allowed myself to heal and love me today." said James "This opened other avenues by building strong relationships with BoMF staff, residents and non-residents. I can say today that I am very happy with me because of this organization."
Before we dig into the DEEP STUFF, let's learn some of the basics about James:
Running Shoe Size: Size 13 in Asics, 14 in Nike
Hometown/Family: I was born in Detroit, MI. When my twin brother and I were of age my Father retired from GM and moved the family to TN (where he and my mom had met) There were eight children at this time, my younger sister passed away in late June of 2002.
Favorite Restaurant: Pei Wei
Favorite Music: All kinds: Country, House (techo) and Alternative. Depends on my mood.
What brought you into Progress House? What were you overcoming?
I arrived at Progress House, homeless, no family, no friends and I was just released from prison. I had been battling a drug and alcohol addiction for the last 10 years.
Why did you join BoMF?
I joined out of curiosity for starters, I had no clue what was I was in store for. I would be lying if i did not say the incentives had a good part of my reason for joining.
What races have you completed with BoMF?
Too many to name on here! (I'm in awe of that still to this day) COMMITMENT BABY that's what it is all about. I've completed a half marathon and a full marathon—– wow, two of the biggest things I've ever done. Number one was GETTING SOBER!
In your spare time, what do you like to do?
Listen to music, read about different religions, ride my bike and sleep.
BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals):
I have a 50K planned this summer to make it harder it's on a trail…. to be continued. I would also like to go back to school at the start of next year, or sooner.
Over the past year, what has changed in your life?
So many things have changed this past year. After a one year stay in Prison, living in a local homeless shelter for seven days and spending an additional fourteen months at the Progress House, I now have my own place. I also have a Truck and went from no job to working two jobs! The biggest change in my life is the way I see people and situations. It like I have on a new pair of glasses!
What kinds of trials & obstacles are you still overcoming?
I'm always in a struggle with myself to do better and be better. The biggest thing I can say now is I'm trying to find that happy medium of balance. God has given me all of these great things and I'm trying to juggle them all.
What does running mean to you?
Running gives me peace of mind and serenity. It is also the place where I feel the closest to my higher power. I feel so centered after a good long run. It's amazing.
If you could give one piece of advice to a reader who is struggling with overcoming addiction what would it be?
Stop trying to recover and RECOVER! If you can be truly honest with yourself and others and want that monkey of your back God will help you. I'm living proof of this and there are many more like me!
Do you feel like you can now be a mentor to others who are battling what you have been through?
I do! In fact I am mentoring a wonderful guy now who used to be a part of BoMF. He asked me one day if I would help him walk through life. I've been taught by my mentor, people in BoMF and my recovery friends to never say no to someone who wants help!
What are some accomplishments are you most proud of?
Obtaining my own place to live… I have never had my own place before. Running a full marathon, the hard part was training for it. I would not change it for the world.
Another big step for me was the opportunity to make amends to the victim of why I went to prison. We are now the best friends we can be to each other and he is under counseling. I am truly grateful to have had this chance to be a part of the human race today, not just existing, but living.
All time favorite BoMF memory?
Beth and I were at mile nine of our first half marathon and I was losing steam. She noticed and asked me if I knew any Donna Summer songs. I said yes- "I will survive". She took the serenity prayer and sang it to the tune of I will survive all the way home! I will never forget that, it makes me want to cry just thinking about it. That is how awesome this program has been to me. I have made great friends, forever.

Maybee Photo Gallery Kprean Singer Girls
Ballad singer Maybee is confusing the reporters again because of her resemblance to sexy singer Ivy. At her 2nd album launch, a reporter addressed her as Ivy, which got everyone laughing except the singer in question. And it probably hurts her more that nobody mistakes sexy diva Ivy as the ballad princess Maybee. But despite the similar profiles, I don't understand why people confuse the two singers. Ivy is totally sexed up while Maybee is totally covered up. Can you tell the difference between the two?

OK. I sprayed at petal fall, I sprayed at shuck split, 10 days later. Not 5 days leter, I find curculio scars on every apricot I see. On every plum. To hell with that. I've got Sevin, I've got Permethrin. Not sure how to get my hands on anything else stronger. Which way to go? |

Tilton- I had the same exact issue when i used it...it was like i sprayed water. I'm giving my bottle to my brother..he can spray Japanese beetles with it. Luckily my plums have yet to shed their petals yet. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 22, 13 at 16:13
I get pretty wide range control with the pyrethroid I use- it's restricted but I don't see why it would be more affective than triazide (OK, I haven't really looked into it- all pyrethroids are not equal) if you are using it at highest legal strength. If you sell some of your crop you can use Avaunt- you can certainly pick it up without a license. In some states Imidan is still kosher although the label says not for residential use. That may only mean not within 100 ft. of a residence. I've seen failure with Sevin as well. Do you use a good spreader-sticker? |
I use Bonide's Turbo spreader sticker. |
- Posted by daemon2525 5 (My Page) on Wed, May 22, 13 at 16:30
I sprayed Triazicide on Aphids on Roses to the point that I was watching them walk through the droplets. There were still live ones every day for the next week. I shot at them with Malathion and watched them fall off of the plant. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 22, 13 at 17:21
Uh oh, I've been suggesting to people that triazide is the ticket. There were so many endorsements here. |
I think I'll go with permethrin for fear of fruit drop with Sevin at this time. Or Malathion ... |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 22, 13 at 18:11
Malathion will work if you tighten up the schedule to once every 5 days or so. I don't know exactly how tight it must be but it has very limited residual activity. |
Part of the problem is that PC is really tough. Nevertheless, I'm surprised by the Triazicide reports of failure. There generally isn't a lot of distinction in commercial literature between different pyrethroids for major insects like curculio. I myself use a pyrethroid (Mustang Max) for curc control. Traizicide has the same active ingredient as the commercial product Proaxis. I haven't myself used proaxis, but my wife's uncle uses it on his 80 acre pecan orchard and gets good control against casebearer and pecan weevil (Pecan weevil is very closely related to plum curc.) I know a peach grower in the area who uses permethrin some and seems to get good results with it. Cornell lists gamma cyhalothrin has having "high" efficacy against PC (see link below). Malathion is weak on most things (according to the literature and my experience). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Proaxis
Didn't Spectracide change their dilution schedule on some of their products last year? Or am I confused? I've used Triazicide very successfully against codling moth, which I found difficult with malathion. Had some good results with spinosad as well, but Triazicide certainly did the job; my impression that there was more latitude with the Triazicide. I got better results with it, for sure. I'd rather use Triazicide first, spinosad second, and will use malathion if I can be confident of the spray schedule, but it's not good at residual effect. Spinosad seems to have some "reach back" with codling moth, in that it can sometimes stop a larvae even after it has started to burrow, something I've never experienced with malathion. Seems like Triazicide just solves the problem. Very limited experience, just for what it's worth. |
Did U use 3 TBS per gal? That's what Once and Done Triazicide says. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 6:04
Olpea, always the voice of calming reason. Now the question is, is the problem the product or method of application? I have read that the pyrethroids are less affective in hot weather without any specifics on what the parameters are. I manage an awful lot of orchards, including quite a few where I don't do the spraying and it's done by another commercial applicator. Most of those are receiving only the pyrethroid Asana, and even E. and J plums have been well protected last few years. These are mostly sites against open woods which are considered most vulnerable to PC invasion and it is a pest I often see on the last of my rounds of petal fall spray. They only receive 2 insecticide sprays regardless of weather- unless something shows up later in the season. |
Yes, 3 T/gallon. Maybe I've been lucky with the timing, plus, I don't have plum curculio, thank goodness. But my understanding is that they make a weaker version now and it started showing up in the big box stores last year or so. I do use a little molasses for a sticker and some insecticidal soap, but less out of any conviction than "it's recommended" by our county extension lady, who is a pretty good apple grower in her own right. Interested in seeing what we learn here. |
Not to sound naive, but there may be some loose interpretation of the term "petal fall." When I first started spraying, I presumed petal fall meant after all the petals fell. Then I found out that it meant, when 75% of the petals had fallen. So I waited too late, and paid the price. I used Sevin for my first spray and then Triazicide after I found curc scars and borers. The borers are gone, but I still have curc and now they've gone from my plums to my peaches. When i told my county agent (Clemson)that the label says that it lasts for 8 weeks, he laughed and said it won't last for two days. Maybe he knows something the rest of us don't know. I've been using it every 10 days and i still have curc. |

Have you tried imidan? Triazicide's label now requires 3 TBS. per gallon; the old version was only one TBS. per gallon. Don't remember if their formulation has changed, but it is always good to follow the manufacturer's label. I had to go to an orchard supplier to get the imidan. I have enough for the rest of my life, and although I've been careful in storing it, I hope it does not degrade. I guess I'll find out soon, since I found a curculio crescent on my Balaton cherry yesterday. But it is still raining here. |
Yep, 3 T/gal, right on the label. They sell imidan now as a drench, again the emerald ash beetle, but I wouldn't risk guessing how much to use in a spray. And of course it's been raining here all week. Since I'll be respraying the apples, Sevin is out, so I guess it'll be the permethrin, in the unlikely event I have any stone fruit left. |
Triaz. also not only changed its dilution it changed its packaging. There was a bottle with fruit and veggies on the front, and another with green grass and bugs. Now you have to open the 'read me' section and find if it mentions apples and fruit trees. If so, you have the right triaz. It has never failed me in six years. I buy many bottles at a time. Mrs. G |
" I have read that the pyrethroids are less affective in hot weather without any specifics on what the parameters are." Hman, That's a good point. That's part of the reason I use my pyrethroid early in the season when temperatures are cooler (The other part is that Mustang Max has a two week PHI on peaches so I want to be done with it by the time peach harvest nears.) I can't remember if I've ever read exactly how fast pyrethroids break down in heat, but as I recall I've read they are supposed to be less effective above 80F. It would be nice if researchers would do more studies on temperature vs. degradation of various pyrethroids, like they have with precipitation and % wash off of various insecticides. Your experience with the pyrethoid you use is more in line with my own. I get good control w/ Mustang but sometimes I do rotate Actara for plum curc. I don't know if it was very clear from my last post, but from what I've read all pyrethoids have about the same activity on curc. (one's as good as the next) which is why I'm surprised about the disappointing results Frank and ltilton are having w/ Traizicide. I know you use Imidan on some of your sites for curc. Do you see any difference in using Imidan vs. Asana? I've never used it, but Imidan is supposed to be king when it comes to controlling PC. My only guesses as to the failure of Triazicide are that either the rain is washing too much of the residue off, or perhaps the Triazicide was old stock. It does degrade in heat and since it's a seasonal product, if it was stored in a hot warehouse, it could have compromised the active ingredient. The link below indicates another product w/ gamma cyhalothrin (Optimate) can only be stored for 2 years. |

Olpea, that is very important- the question of storage time, as you never know how long something might have sat in a store. Last year I pretty much phased out Imidan only using it at a few sites that were actually (hobby) farms because results were more than adequate with the Assana only sites handled by my "subcontractor" during previous 2 years. His guys aren't licensed and only he is so he can't have them using restricted pesticides. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 11:06
My bottle says 3Tsp per gallon...which is what i would have mixed... Whatever the case, i'm not risking using it again (I didn't use it last year)... Esfenvalerate is a pyrethroid... "RESULTS Esfenvalerate had the greatest impact on mobility. Immediately after exposure to this compound, plum curculios moved significantly greater distances and for a significantly longer period of time compared with all other compounds. After 24 h, esfenvalerate also led to high mortality rates (>86.0%). Exposure to azinphosmethyl and phosmet also led to high rates of mortality, although the impact on mobility was less pronounced. Exposure to indoxacarb, thiacloprid, imidacloprid, novaluron, myclobutanin and mancozeb had no impact on mobility and resulted in little to no mortality. Clothianidin affected mobility after a 2 h exposure period, and high mortality (60%) was recorded after 24 h." |
Itilton, I found an old post stated "If you spray with Imidan and the Triazicide, it's likely that the egg laid in the fruit will die upon hatching. Yes, the fruit will still have the scar, but when mature, it's just a tiny brown mark that is a cosmetic defect but shouldn't be of any concern to a backyard grower". So, if you sprayed already, I think you can deal with a little scar on the fruits. It works systemically. Just continue to spray as schedule every 14 days and stop 3 weeks before harvest. Tony |
- Posted by lakewoodfarm 7a (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 12:51
Tony, Pyrethrins will not kill the egg once it is in the fruit, organophosphates or neonicotnoids will. Triazicide is a pyrethrin, Imidan is an organophosphate, there is a product called "Ortho fruit and vegetable insect killer" which contains Acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid. So if the eggs are already laid, the best option is to spray with imidan or Acetamiprid. The Acetamiprid is avaiable for home use. below is link to the source of this data |
Here is a link that might be useful: This article appeared in the Michigan State University Fruit CAT Newsletter Vol. 25, No. 6, May 18, 2010 2 Table 1. Insecticidal modes of activi ty on plum curculio life stages.
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 12:56
lwf is correct, but I don't believe the pyrethroids have the kickback of Imidan. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 13:14
Curative activity is excellent with neonics...i once spot treated a few plums with egg laying scars ...maybe a half dozen...all of which ripened perfectly... That was with Thiamethoxam... the problem is that the odds are pretty high that the chemical is still present in that fruit come eating time and who knows at what dose... they are very slow to break down, although research shows they have low mammal toxicity. I'd personally, if i had no kids/orchard was away from the house/yard...be spraying Phosmet. Its like the nuclear bomb that goes in and kills everything... but quickly degrades...without the radiation of course! |
H-man, What I did last year was cutting out the PC bite mark off with a sharp box cutter and went down about 0.25" deep. The apple scarred up and recovered. You could save some apple with a single bite mark this way. Good luck, Tony |

You probably get a lot more nicotine-type carcinogens when you stay in a hotel with smoking rooms. Turns out the chemicals permeate the entire hotels at rates that are considered dangerous. Guests were tested to determine how much they picked up and it is very surprising the high dosage received by guests in non-smoking rooms. And for those of you who used to hang out in bars when smoking was permitted (is it still, in some states?) as I did as a young man, I imagine you shouldn't be too concerned about the little bit of residue in a scarred fruit. |
<<< My neighbor ordered some imidan on line. Not sure where he got it from, but good old google will probably get you there if you want to go that route. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 18:27
Phosmet is not a nuclear bomb that kills everything, the way I look at it. Triazide and Sevin are much harder on beneficial mites, for instance. What it does that some others don't do is keep killing when half washed off and (I'm telling you, better than even the nicitinoids) seeping into scars and killing larva. It still doesn't have quite the residual power of the pyrethroids and even though it works when half washed off it washes off more easily than other insecticides making it bit of a wash. |
Sorry to hear that it does not work for Frank and Itilton. Triazicide works well for me so far. The bottle I have lists Gamma Cyhalothrin at 0.08% as active ingredients. I don't know if this is high or low %. I do know I have those bugs but the bug pressure here may not be as high as your areas. |
The storage issue makes sense. My bottle has been on the poison shelf in my garage for at least 2 years. |
Storage issue raises my concern, too. I wonder if its effectiveness is lessened by heat alone or heat plus length of time in storage. Mine bottle is over 3 yrs old and I still have a lot left. It's kept in the garage that can reach 80 or more In the summer. I'll use it this year and see what happens. |

Harvest- I just like the thought of really knowing i'm wiping them all out with a proven chemical... I do know that pyrethroids are tough on a lot of bugs... I've made a decision to use permethrin at least for my first cover spray... which i'll need to apply here soon. |
I just ordered the Ortho Flower, Fruit & Vegetable Insect Killer in the concentration form. The only place that I could find it was Amazon. Since I already have curcs in my plums, I'll be the guinea pig and let you all know if it works. |

You are defeating yourself. Triazicide kills on contact but you do not know what you are doing. The most damage to stone fruit is caused by OFM and codling moth whom you never see. Yes you kill some the day you spray but others come next day. I gave up on killing adults and concentrated my efforts on preventing the eggs from hatching. Adult bugs do not hurt your fruit but the larva from the hatched eggs does all the destruction. Triazicide is very helpful when you see the enemy like the Japanese beatle for example but if your enemy is invisible ghost don't blame the Triazecide.l |

FT, I'm just going on Cornells concerns with pyrethroids. So far I haven't seen outbreaks of mites on sites where they are being used. When I've used Sevin on J beetles the mite outbreaks have been almost automatic in large home orchards. I don't think research has really sorted out the pyrethroids yet as far as exactly how tough they are on beneficials. The main Cornell concern seems to be that overuse will rapidly lead to resistance, which is much less a concern in smaller non-commercial plantings, I think. |
What kind of sticker agent are you using with the Triazicide? PCs love my sweet cherries. However, I sprayed with Triazicide and Nufilm17 and they seem to stay away or die. I did spray the whole tree. Leaves, fruit, and branches. I used 3TBS/gal Triazicide and 3TBS/gal Nufilm. It has been about 10 days since I first sprayed. I do also go out and hunt the PC with a flashlight. and have picked a couple off the one cherry tree. The PC here seem to only be a problem for 2 to 3 weeks in the spring. Then the stink bugs move in. |
treehugger - maybe YOUR fruit takes most of its damage from OFM, but here and now, where many of us are, the culprit is the PC. You need to climb down from your ladder of superiority and recognize that some of us know quite well how to identify PC damage, which isn't hard, as the scars are quite distinctive. |
Re: acetamiprid I think it's a good tool against lep moths but there is a significant question as to whether it's very effective against PC. There are a lot of spray guides that group all neonics together claiming they all have high efficacy against PC, but some researchers make a distinction that acetamiprid should not be used for PC control. From the link below: "This material [Assail] is not very effective against the plum curculio and does not control oblique banded leafrollers." I use acetamiprid (Assail) but only after spring PC egg laying is over. Treehugger wrote: " The most damage to stone fruit is caused by OFM and codling moth whom you never see. Yes you kill some the day you spray but others come next day. I gave up on killing adults and concentrated my efforts on preventing the eggs from hatching." Treehugger, I responded to your line of reasoning on this subject in another thread, but once again, contact insecticides do have residual activity on CM and OFM. Pyrethroids in particular have activity against eggs, larva, and adults. The adult (moth) need only to land on the foliage or fruit and will absorb the chemical through their cuticle. That's why they are called contact insecticides. They are specifically designed to be highly toxic to the target insects. The insect merely needs to come into contact with the residue. Spray guides indicate lethal residues of pyrethroids are maintained 7-10 days after application. This seems to be consistent with published data on non-aqueous aerobic half-life degradation of these compounds. For example, the half-life of Triazicide on vegetation is 5 days (Generally 1/2 the residue of contact insecticides is more than adequate to kill the target insect.) One of the reasons contact insecticides are more effective on lepidopterous pests is that they kill the adults, whereas ovacides and larvacides that must be ingested generally have no effect on the current adult population of the moths. |

Olpea- I think I've read that Actara (Thiamethoxam) is effective against PC...and of course very effective against their eggs. |
Frank, I've also read it's very effective against PC. For me, the only drawback is that Thiamethoxam (and one of it's breakdown components clothianidin) is very toxic to bees. That's why I only use it well after petal fall and only use it early in the season, so it has a whole year to help with breakdown. As you know it's very slow to degrade. That said it has very low mammalian toxicity and, except for bees, also has a low ecotoxicity. |
Olpea, I guess it's Michigan State vs NY., or maybe there's a difference on how it reacts on stone fruit. Since i already have curcs in my plums, I'm mainly interested in the curative aspect of acetamiprid, and according to MSU, it works. |
TreeHugger, I believe the label for NuFilm17 says far less than 3 TBS/Gal. It's .08 oz./Gal, which translates to 1/2 TSP./Gal. |
H-Man, Your spray mix has Triazicide, Immunox and Captan, I believe. Do you reco Nu Film 17 as sticker, when Captan supposedly shouldn't get a sticker? |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, May 26, 13 at 6:51
I use a latex spreader-sticker (Tactic, "organosilicone surfactant deposition agent") as I've read research that it performs better than others and I'm unaware of the idea that Captan should not be sprayed with it. Please tell me what you know. I know that captan is pretty sticky by itself but it washes off enough to be helpful in redistributing as the tree grows, splashing onto new leaves not there when originally sprayed. Maybe a sticker works against this. Haven't experienced any compatibility problems nor more scab problems when I've used it with captan. |
The idea behind avoiding captan + sticker stems from the supposed phytotoxicity of captan. Many stickers also have a spreader component which can increase the amount of surface area covered on the leaf, thereby increasing the risk of leaf burn/shot hole. The label of the product I use (Captan 80) warns against using spreader/stickers, or of excessive leaf wetting. That said, I've used captan quite a bit and never seen even a hint of phytotoxic effect. |

Olpea- What would you use for curative activity (against PC) that also breaks down in a reasonable time (say before harvest)? Is there any neonic that would apply or would you have to use Imidan? |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, May 26, 13 at 13:29
Assail has some curative activity from my reading and although it is not generally recommended for PC in commercial production it seems to do the job well enough for me when I've used it alone. I've tried to find the researched basis of the recommendations about it but really haven't found anything. Certainly the label includes PC as one of the insects it is effective against. This isn't to say the the university suggestions aren't correct in their context of commercial fruit production, but they also say that pyrethrins are inadequate against PC. What is inadequate for commercial production may be adequate for home production where pressure tends to be less and standards for the acceptable percentage of sound fruit lower. |
Frank, Although the article you linked earlier didn't rate Calypso favorably, I've always read it was very effective against PC. According to the MSU power point presentation (see below) Calypso even outperformed Actara in PC mortality from residues 7 days old. According to the EPA Calypso's half-life is considerably shorter than Actara (2.4 to 27.4 days in the field). However, they mention one of the degradation products (YRC 2894) for which they show some concern has a half-life from 32 to 142 days. http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/reg_actions/registration/fs_PC-014019_26-Sep-03.pdf If you don't have to have kick-back, Avaunt would probably be another good choice, otherwise phosmet or a neonic are going to be the only ones I know of that have curative activity. |

I just bought a new bottle of Spectracide Triazicide, but I noticed the label no longer says "Once and Done". I hope it is not a new product. Anybody know for sure? |
Pursuant to the suggestion here, I aquired and applied acetamiprid to my stone fruits today. Aside from the cherries, if I get any fruit at all, it will be because of this application having kickback effect. |
I'm hand thinning right now and noticed I got hit hard by PC, we have had some very warm days and evenings and I was on the tail end of 14 days. I either just have alot of pressure this year or I got my timing all screwed up with the rain vs. hot days. I am disgusted. Thought I had it all figured out. I've been holding back from the Imidan use hoping Triazicide would do the job. Next year, the Imidan comes out or I need to shorten up the interval as soon as I see the heat coming. I don't really see any other pressure yet. On the upside, I have no indication of CAR, so the Immunox did it's job among the millions of galls I had this year. For What Its Worth, Chad |
I'm thinning and bagging apples now, too, and seeing lots of PC damage, much more than usual, after one application of triazicide. What I'm not seeing, now, after spraying permethrin, are any actual PCs in the apples. I usually do spot a few. Hopefully, the permethrin got them. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Fri, May 31, 13 at 18:24
Just a little PC activity here, but i've been spraying enough to keep a cover on most of my fruit. I'm using Permethrin until i run out. We've had 8.43 inches of rain this month! |
I haven't used the acetamiprid on the apples since I sprayed the permethrin, but I've read it can be used against aphids. otoh, the aphids I have are the rosy ones, that will probably leave the trees soon without spraying. |
Another observation: after spraying permethrin, I was thinning and bagging my Enterprise apples, and thinned first, removing any that showed PC scars. Today I came back to finish bagging and haven't found any new PC marks. Says to me that the permethrin is doing the job the triazicide failed on. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Sat, Jun 1, 13 at 20:53
I just hosed my plums this evening with Permethrin... I plan on doing the apples soon after i tihn them hard... still not much pc damage, but temps look to stay cool for the next few days, so should stay active. |
Frank, send some of that rain my way. We had 1 inch the whole month of May. My water bill is going to look like a car payment. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Sun, Jun 2, 13 at 10:27
it won't quite around here...Rochester, MN had over 11 inches of rain in May... The ground here is squishy. No one can plant, a lot of my plants are showing N deficiency... Don't need anymore, but more chances this week. Temps look to hover in the upper 60Fs all week. PC must not know what to do with weather like this... Hunza dropped the majority of its fruit again...weird tree. |
We had another inch yesterday. Can't get into the garden to weed. Afraid I won't be able to get to the strawberries to pick, if they ever ripen and don't go all to gray mold. I'm seeing signs of N deficiency in the brassica vegetables, too. Top-dressed with blood meal but I guess it washed away. Don't really want to use liquid fert - more liquid it doesn't need. Time for more fungicide. |

Spectracide Immunox Plus went on a price markdown @ my Menard's store on Friday. 16oz containers for $2.99 Contains 1.25% Permethrin & .78% Myclobutanil. Is this a normal %age for Permethrin? Seemed like a good deal so I bought several. |
North, Immunox Plus is fungicide + insecticide. You need to check if it's rated for fruit trees or not. The one I use in a regular Immunox fungicide that lists many fruit trees for its use. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Sun, Jun 2, 13 at 22:12
Northern- Last year i bought the rest of the stock of Menards 32oz Ortho TotalKill ...2.5% ... It was clearance...might have been around the same price. I see they aren't carrying it anymore so its getting tougher to find the stuff (Permethrin). I'm still still finishing up the 6 year old bottle of Permethrin i had (which is going bad ..had chunky stuff in the bottle). Right now Menards has 11% and if you have Discover card you can get another 5%... |
- Posted by northernmn 3/4 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 8:15
Mamuang: The instruction pages on the Immunox Plus mentions ornamentals, but not a list of fruit trees. It does cover the leaf rollers that I'm having trouble with now though. Does the Immunox for fruit trees have a different, stronger, formula? Frank: Yes the 11% sale was on so the net price was about $2.66 a pint. Your TotalKill was 2.5%. Should I mix my Immunox at a heavier dose for fruit tree coverage? |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 11:12
Label on this says 2 oz per gallon, so that is what I will mix it at... I also notice it mentions not to spray apples after petal fall..that is so weird... It also says i can put 8 applications on peaches...but only 3 on pears (I don't spray my pears)... |
I found PC scars on my pears this year. First time for that. |
Sorry North, I do not know if the % of permethrin would be strong enough. I still use Triazicide mix with Immunox (regular). Hope those who use Permethrin will let you know. I saw OFM signs on peaches (I swear they weren't there yesterday) so I did the 2nd spray this evening before I could have time to put footsies on them. These buggers are fast!! |
Triazicide is definitely working for me to control PC. Two years ago I sprayed Malathion and lost 90% of my apples to PC. I also spilled some on the workbench in my shed. It stunk so bad and never went away. I finally tore up the top of the workbench and burned it. Replaced it with a new plywood top. Sometimes I swear I can still smell the stuff. |

text:
*Written by Raymond Budd of the Southwest Florida FairTax Educational Association. Originally intended to be a speech at the Ft. Myers Tea Party on April 9th, 2011.
On a cold December day in the winter of 1773, a group of colonist's boarded ships anchored in Boston Harbor, and began to throw its cargo overboard. The cargo was the most recent shipment of tea from Britain. What would warrant such extreme measures? Was there a contaminant or poison in this product that posed a health risk to the consumer. No, the pestilence afflicting these flotsam and jetsam was a newly enacted tax levied upon the citizenry by an overbearing, unyielding monarchy. The tea tax imposed by the British Parliament specifically on the product shipped to the colonies was an usurpation on the rights of colonists as they had no voice in the actions of its governing body. These actions were not protests against the tax specifically, but in reference to "no taxation without representation" In other words FAIRNESS!
What followed was a war that was to remove these colonies from under the boot of such tyrannical authority. Through perseverance and some would say divine providence, victory was achieved, and Independence was obtained. Although the colonists finally had the proper representation in the newly formed Republic, this new found freedom did not come without a cost. Along with the high sacrifice of blood came the equally great expenditure of treasure. The newly formed country found itself holding the debt incurred by the colonies to secure this independence, and was in great need of finding ways to generate revenue. Thus was enacted the Whiskey Act of 1791. Masquerading as a luxury tax, it was specifically structured to be regressive. In other words more burdensome on the poorer small business and citizen. Small and individual distillers were at an unfair disadvantage to the larger ones. By getting cheaper tax rates because of the ability to pay once a year instead of monthly and increasing production volume, the tax was intended to shut down the smaller competition. Reacting in the only way they knew how, citizens began taking matters in their own hands. Understanding violence is not the solution; representatives were chosen to negotiate with the Government. The tax was modified in 1794 and eventually repealed in 1800. Again, the rebellion was not anti-tax, or anti-government, but FAIRNESS in the treatment, and taxation of the populace.
Using the need to fund wars, or preying on the fears created by economic crises, this country toyed incessantly with the idea of an income tax. Each time it was presented, it was either allowed temporarily, or found to be unconstitutional. That was until 1913. Prior to that year under the Constitution, Congress could impose direct taxes only if they were levied in proportion to each State's population. The 16th Amendment changed all that, by giving Congress the authority to directly tax any lawful income without regard to population of each state. Coupled with the newly enacted excise tax in business income, the result was the birth of the modern income tax system. In 1916 the amendment had the word "lawful" removed, thus enabling all sources of income to be directly taxed whether obtained legally or not. This created the ability to enforce the tax law through tax evasion regulation. Prior to these occurrences, individuals earned wages, business made profits, citizens pursued private enterprise, and wealth was accumulated or lost, all with little to no government intervention. This was all fundamentally changed with the birth of the income tax. Government now has the right and need to know about every individual or business transaction. FAIRNESS has been cast aside for the need to fund the largesse of the government.
Fast forward to 1978. Feeling the burden of rising property taxes spawned by surging home prices, angered with the frivolous spending from the state government, and a enabled by a ruling of the California Supreme court the people decided to stand united once again it what is arguably the most successful tax revolt to date. The Peoples Initiative to Limit Property Taxation, or California's Prop 13 placed a cap of property taxes to 1% of Value. As well annual increases were limited to 2% unless the property changed hands. By not having any cap on property taxes, a state government could disregard responsible spending by simply raising tax rates to generate more revenue. This tactic was forcing homeowners to abandon homes they could normally afford, if it were not for the excessive property tax assessment. Compounding the problem was the fact that the amount could increase each year by any percentage deemed necessary by the state. Those who wanted to purchase a home were wary to even try for fear of the unknown future tax burden. With help from the State Supreme court that declared the tax code to violate equal protection guarantees, proposition 13 began the modern tax revolt. Its success has made the anti-tax movement a formidable voice challenging state and federal governments and their tax policies. Again we find the intent is not anti-tax or anti government, but to ensure FAIRNESS in these policies.
Today I stand before you ready to embark on the next and final tax revolt for this country. I stand before you endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, among them the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I stand before you, and declare our rights being violated, announcing the violator to be the United States federal Government and the shackles used to bind our rights as the United States tax code. I stand before you not with a call to arms, but a call to action. I stand before you reclaiming our right to keep 100% of our income without the intervention of government, and a claim that business should be able to use profits to expand, and grow, not forced to comply with a counter-productive tax code. I stand here before you fighting for my right to pass on my estate and fortunes to my heirs without penalty and I reclaim my right to earn a profit on investment without an additional tax penalty. I stand before you claiming illegals, and black market traders, and drug dealers should pay their fair share of taxes. I stand before you and claim that a tax should be progressive, the more you spend the more you pay and no one shall pay taxes on essential goods and services up to the poverty level. I stand before you and say the power of the tax code must be taken out of the hands of Washington, and placed back in the hands of the citizen. I stand before you and say all this, and more is not only possible, it is imperative. I stand before you and say the solution is THE FAIRTAX.
Thank you and God Bless.
