Caryl Churchill's new play Love and Information is simultaneously the worst and the best first-date idea ever. In the intimate horseshoe shape of UO's Hope Theatre, the play's litany of 57 scenes and 100-plus characters was so relentless that it never occurred to me to shift so that my date could grab my hand.
Ah, yes — when God finally arrives in all his glory to destroy the wicked and raise up the true believers in a dazzling city of eternal happiness, how beautiful it all will be! Right? Right?
It's a timeless literary trope, from Ecclesiastes to Groundhog Day: A cynical man, mired in despair and the funk of worldly resentments, is confronted with the error of his ways to such an extent that he undergoes an immediate and permanent transformation, emerging from darkness into light. Such victories of the spirit are the epitome of happily ever after, and we never tire of their telling.
Bob, Phil and Larry are in the existential hell that is the 26th-floor suite of a Holiday Inn overlooking Wichita, Kansas. Their JCPenney grey suits and their hopes of selling industrial lubricant set the prosaic scene for this morality tale.
There's something fuzzy and bittersweet about that old populist daydream of an adorable orphan so possessed by optimism that her mere presence can sand down the rough edges of a capitalist tycoon and compel an embattled president to launch the New Deal.
If that's not a political fairy tale for a bygone era, I don't know what is.
Well, this is certainly not your grandmother's Jane Austen. With overt sexuality, barebones plotting and updated humor, University Theatre has taken Austen's beloved classic out for a new spin that, depending on your sensibility, may or may not make sense.
When the new musical Constance & Sinestra and the Cabinet of Screams premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the summer of 2011, Lane Community College student Anna Parks happened to catch a performance of the quirky show. Parks later brought the idea of presenting the offbeat musical to LCC's Student Production Association, and after clearing sizeable hurdles to secure the rights to the play, the LCC theater will be among the first venues outside of the UK to debut this darkly twisted fairy tale.
Who can resist a story that starts with a trio of children flying out the bedroom window to a land where you never grow up? Add a fearsome, hook-handed sea captain and a mischievous fairy, and you are solidly in the grasp of the marvelous adventure of Peter Pan, a version of which — Disney's Peter Pan Jr. — opens Friday, Nov. 7, at Churchill High School under the auspices of Rose Children's Theatre.
As perhaps Eugene's foremost purveyor of new theatrical works, artistic director Craig Willis at Oregon Contemporary Theatre (OCT) is a tireless advocate of the hidden gem, the offbeat barnburner, the unfamiliar fandango. For Willis, the hunt is always on. He spends many a weekend traveling hither and yon along the coast — to Portland, to Seattle — attending table reads and walk-throughs of new plays, all in dogged pursuit of something fresh and lively for audiences here in town.
Deception — slick, fertile, invasive deception. The Very Little Theatre's latest production, Private Eyes, floods the theater with the sickening ocean of emotion that comes from being lied to by a lover, then dangles a life preserver just out of reach. This funny and painful play examines the concept of deceit in every possible manner: the deceit of your spouse, your shrink, yourself, even your audience.
Tossing aside its usual family fare, the Cottage Theatre reaches for something darker in its current production of Stephen Sondheim's Assassins.
"Angry men don't write the rules," sings the infamous John Wilkes Booth, ably played by Kory Weimer, "and guns don't right the wrongs."
Booth is just one of nine assassins who have their day in this 1990 musical, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and songbook by John Weidman.
The frontline of the fight for civil rights isn't only in the courtroom or marching down the street, but on stage from Alaska to New York City to Eugene.
Interdisciplinary performance artist Ryan Conarro visits the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art this week to perform his latest work, this hour forward, a multi-media production reflecting the changing state of marriage rights.
"It's a piece exploring family, love, marriage, identity and the gay rights movement," Conarro tells EW.
The Ghosts of Tonkin, a dramatic work about the Vietnam War by Bellingham, Washington-based playwright Steve Lyons, will show Sunday, Sept. 28, at Wildish Theatre. Lyon's play is a behind-closed-doors investigation of the political maneuvering that led to the conflict, focusing on such historical figures as Robert McNamara, Barry Goldwater, Lyndon Johnson and Oregon Senator Wayne Morse, one of only two U.S. senators to vote against the war.
I'll start by playing devil's advocate. Why do we need another dramatic work about Vietnam?
Within minutes of meeting Becky (Storm Kennedy), the modern-day Madame Bovary at the center of Steven Dietz's comedy Becky's New Car, this frenetic, chatty woman has addressed the congregated, welcomed us into her cluttered living room and even enlisted an unsuspecting audience member in helping her stop a drip in the ceiling.
Cartoonist Charles "Chas" Addams shared his penchant for the macabre in The New Yorker for more than five decades. Who can forget Wednesday Addams and her brother Pugsley gleefully playing with a tiny guillotine on Christmas morning? Or Uncle Fester opening up the medicine chest only to reveal it's full of poison?
The plays of Shakespeare are infinitely flexible, capable of being transported across time to various historic eras and transplanted into soils that are vastly different than those originally intended. Some adaptations work splendidly, others not so much: I've seen the Bard by turns relocated to late-20th-century Venice Beach, wedged wickedly into Nazi Germany and, not too long ago, given the hipster goose of modern Manhattan.
Intellectual though he was, writer H.L. Mencken positively came undone, his friend Anita Loos observed, under the beguiling spell of some … blonde.
Ellie Greenwich is the boss. A master songwriter, Greenwich had a hand in composing buckets of Top 40 hits, such as "Chapel of Love," "Hanky Panky," "Da Doo Ron Ron" and other baby-boomer jams.
Throughout the opening night performance of Grease at Actors Cabaret of Eugene, I noted that my 8-year-old companion, and the elderly gentleman next to him, were both alternately laughing, clapping or simply enthralled. Young and old, they were watching a musical from the 1970s about teenagers from the 1950s; they were both loving it.
A limitless cosmos of doorways and dead-ends, New York City is a dream, as much a state of mind as it is a place on the map. Adam Gwon's 2009 musical Ordinary Days beautifully captures the chaotic flux of NYC in a nutshell, by reflecting in microcosm the city's everyday influence on the romantic lives of two couples. Deceptively simple in form, Gwon's love letter to Gotham is a minor masterpiece of lyricism and perk, condensing worlds of emotion into a mere 90 minutes.
"A lot of people around age 13 are trying to find themselves," says Jenny Bryant, performing this weekend in 13 at Actor's Cabaret of Eugene. Castmate Angel McNabb adds, "The play relates to middle school, because kids are always trying to find a group where they fit in."
With music and lyrics by the Tony award-winning American playwright Jason Robert Brown, book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn and direction and choreography by Lanny Mitchell, 13 features a cast of young people from around the region, ranging in age from 10 to 16.
According to Aristotle, comedy is harder to pull off than tragedy, and farce is the most challenging genre of all. How to get the audience to emotionally engage with all of the goofy plot twists, the ridiculous sight gags and the improbable situations? How to, in the immortal words of film star Donald O'Connor, "Make 'em laugh?" Well, if the lofty goal is a good old-fashioned giggle, then Cottage Theatre's Moon Over Buffalo doesn't disappoint.
Claire, Jason, Warren and Deb are just four ordinary New Yorkers, but their lives intersect in the most extraordinary ways as they search with classic longing for love and fulfillment in a very modern setting.
Ordinary Days is a contemporary musical by up-and-coming American composer Adam Gwon. According to Charles Isherwood of The New York Times, "Mr. Gwon writes crisp, fluid and often funny lyrics that reflect the racing minds of the four New Yorkers on a nervous search for their immediate futures."
According to Dr. La Donna Forsgren, playwright and associate professor of theater arts at University of Oregon, there are three things newcomers should know when they sit down to enjoy her adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland at Hope Theatre:
1. Clap when you want.
2. Laugh when something funny happens.
3. Dance along if you like the music.
(Oh, and there will be a bathroom break, too.)
According to the National Survey of High School Biology Teachers, 13 percent of American high school bio teachers explicitly teach creationism in the classroom. Sixty percent give evolution very little class time and 17 percent don't even touch the subject at all, wanting to avoid the whole controversy. These statistics speak to the state of radical religious interference with education, which gives a '50s play new relevance in the 21st century.

"Gordon Edgar offers a singular glimpse into the exceedingly diverse, complex and sometimes incomprehensible post-60s world of cheese. Embedded within this humorous and provocative life story of a punk rocker-anarchist-turned-cheesemonger is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the great issues that loom large in the world of higher-end cheeses and, indeed, the American food system."—Paul Kindstedt, author of American Farmstead Cheese
—Paul Kindstedt, author of American Farmstead Cheese
Witty and irreverent, informative and provocative, Cheesemonger: A Life on the Wedge is the highly readable story of Gordon Edgar's unlikely career as a cheesemonger at San Francisco's worker-owned Rainbow Grocery Cooperative. A former punk-rock political activist, Edgar bluffed his way into his cheese job knowing almost nothing, but quickly discovered a whole world of amazing artisan cheeses. There he developed a deep understanding and respect for the styles, producers, animals, and techniques that go into making great cheese.
With a refreshingly unpretentious sensibility, Edgar intertwines his own life story with his ongoing love affair with cheese, and offers readers an unflinching, highly entertaining on-theground look at America's growing cheese movement. From problem customers to animal rights, business ethics to taste epiphanies, this book offers something for everyone, including cheese profiles and recommendations for selecting the very best—not just the most expensive—cheeses from the United States and around the world and a look at the struggles dairy farmers face in their attempts to stay on and make their living from the land.
Edgar—a smart, progressive cheese man with an activist's edge—enlightens and delights with his view of the world from behind the cheese counter and his appreciation for the skill and tradition that go into a good wedge of Morbier.
Cheesemonger is the first book of its kind—a cheese memoir with attitude and information that will appeal to everyone from serious foodies to urban food activists.
Gordon Edgar loves cheese and worker-owned co-ops, and has been combining both of these infatuations as a cheesemonger at Rainbow Grocery Cooperative in San Francisco for more than 15 years. Edgar has been a judge at cheese competitions, a board member for the California Artisan Cheese Guild, and, since 2002, has blogged at www.gordonzola.net. Surrounded by his vast and decaying collection of zines and obscure punk 7-inches, he lives in San Francisco with his girlfriend and their no-longer-imaginary white miniature schnauzer.

HYDERABAD: The first day of the application process for NEET-PG entrance examination for admissions to post-graduate medical seats, started on a chaotic note. Not only did the online registration for the examination was glitch-ridden, candidates also complained that the bank they were meant to pay up the examination fee was ill-equipped to handle the huge rush.
The procedure to register for NEET requires candidates to first pay up the examination fee at an Axis bank branch (three branches in the city have been notified) and then register for the examination online, using the voucher given to them by the bank. However, candidates said they had faced problems on both counts. While many students had a problem at the bank as they were unable to get vouchers, most complained of problems during online registration. About 80,000 to 1 lakh candidates are expected to write the newly-introduced PG entrance examination from across the country. An estimated 15,000 candidates will be writing the examination from the state.
The website for registration was inaccessible for most candidates in the city as the server was down due to overload. NEET-PG exam registration is being held from October 4 to November 12. The examination dates are from November 23 to December 6.
Candidates who managed to register themselves for the computer-based examination said that they could not opt for test centres within the state or in neighbouring states. While there are three test centres in the state including two in Hyderabad and one in Vizag, the only available options for several test takers from the state were Guwahati, Patna and Raipur.
Worried candidates stated that NEET-PG, which comes under the purview of National Board of Examination, is the only entrance examination for higher studies in medical education that would guarantee an MD. "The Centre has done away with all the state-level medical PG examinations and hence, NEET is the only chance to get an MD. As there is too much at stake, all candidates are worried about the technical glitches on the first day of registration as they fear that such glitches could surface even on the examination day," said a candidate on the condition of anonymity.
Testing company Prometric is responsible for the online registration of candidates and also for the conduct of NEET-PG examination. Prometric also conducts computer-based Common Admission Test (CAT) for admissions into B schools. Candidates said that Prometric has been rather vague about various aspects of the examination including scoring. "There is no clarity on the syllabus for NEET. Besides, in spite of repeated queries from candidates, Prometric has not revealed the process of scoring though they have vaguely referred to an 'equating and scaling' process of evaluation," said a candidate.
The national board of examination had announced that NEET-PG will be held in January, 2013, however, the examination was advanced to November, candidates rued. "We were given hardly any time to prepare for the examination. It's the moral responsibility of the central government to make sure that no errors creep into the conduct of NEET-PG," said a candidate.

This dining area is a great example of how eclectic transitional design and how eco friendly it can be. The modern clean lines of the teak table mixed with the industrial chairs and various mirror styles make the room interesting and comfortable.
Reclaimed wood mirror detail- love it!
The entryway to your home should set the mood. Here is a great mix a favorite photo, a convex mirror and hand made shell sculpture pieces with a small vintage pine cabinet.
Eco friendly can be stylish. This woven lounge chair and personalized linen burlap pillow are a great way to go- personalize your home and make it mean something to you.
Another amazing space filled with reused and vintage items mixed with new and unusual pieces mixed together making for a great visual display from Ken Levenson Architect P.C.
What an amazing kitchen by Ken Levenson Architect P.C, I love the vintage chairs that are left slightly undone and the vintage table with the clean modern lines of the stainless appliances and the grey cabinetry.
Only in mixing what you love can you come up with an area of such interest as you can see in this photo from NY times.
Here the Living room is an eclectic haven, a vintage subway sign, linen slip covered sofa from Cisco Brothers, a custom made cocktail table and vintage sugar molds, give it a little bit of an industrial edge while keeping it comfortable.
On the other side of this Living room a vintage pine cabinet holds family heirlooms while supplying a surface for a small "cabinet of curiosities" with family photos, a Jamie Young lamp, coral, Eric Zener artwork and some favorite hand made pieces.
Beautiful vintage chair mixes so well with the classic and somewhat contemporary lines of the stairway.

We're back in illegal alien season again. The lamestream has turned up the volume on referring to them as 'undocumented immigrants'. This invokes images of old photographs of European refugees in shabby clothes, holding their few suitcases and bundles, waiting patiently and hopefully in line for one last screening by US officials before being granted entry into America. This scene was repeated for decades at ports of entry like New York (Ellis Island and Brooklyn Navy Yard), Boston, and San Francisco. Not everyone made it, hence the worried looks on most faces; some were put back on ships and sent home.

I love both Magnolia and Matilda! Tilly and May would be such cute future sisters! Elise and Irene go well with both names. My favorite combos would be Matilda Elise and Magnolia Irene. Also, I wouldn't call them exactly trendy...they are more "girls names on the rise" I would say. At least on Nameberry! Good luck!
Boys: Maxwell, Bennett, Oliver, Elliott and Archer.
Girls: Rose, Juliet, Aria, Cora and Scarlett
Sorry for any random spellings. I'm probably on my nook!

Budget-friendly green cleaners
We want to make the transition to cleaning our home with green products, but don't know where to start. What have you had success with -- preferably something that's easy on the pocketbook?
I use very basic cleaning products, mostly vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and essential oils. It tends to be cheaper than store bought products and I prefer not using a lot of chemicals or unnecessarily anti-bacterial products around the kids and the pets.
There are a bunch of recipes to get started with here: http://www.thedailygreen.com/green-h...leaning-460303 You might also want to check Real Simple magazine's web site. I'm pretty sure the print mag is where a couple of my concoctions came from. |
I use a lot of baking soda, perioxide, vinegar, etc as well (sometimes essential oils too). That being said, I LOVE the trade joe's cedarwood cleaner. Its 2.99 a bottle and its pretty much made of essential oils, etc. I use it on my counter tops (granite) and my bathroom fixtures all of the time.
In addition to the vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide.....
Citrasolve - its concentrated so you mix it in a bottle. Its a good degreaser, which baking soda or vinegar don't tend to do. Borax. I use a lot of borax in my house. I barely use detergent in my washer - about a tablespoon, but I use a quarter cup of borax. |
best and simplest spray I have is 1 cup water,1cup white vinegar,1 cup rubbing alcohol. Works on everything, but it's esp. great for stainless steel appliances!
I use it everywhere....my 2nd choice is trader joes green cleaner spray....plus bon ami cleanser or if I'm out of that I use baking soda plus the spray. So-#1 homemade spray #2 -Trader Joes green spray (2.99 bottle) #3- Bon Ami cleanser for scrubbing (.97) #4- baking soda added to any of the above (.39) newspaper for windows (with the spray) a scrub brush for the tub,etc. That's it,other than the occasional load of bleach laundry.(white socks) Wh. Vinegar works great as a rinse aid in dishwasher,and I add a cup to each load of laundry to boost clean and disinfect clothes. |
Thanks, everyone! These are all great suggestions. It never occurred to me to make my own, but that does make the most sense.
I also am trying to do the green cleaning. I'm slowly getting into making my own products. I have been using vinegar and baking soda. Ive also using Borax in the wash with less and less detergent. You can also use Borax to clean with. ......... Anyone making their own laundry detergent?
I make my own laundry detergent...I LOVE it! The only cleaning supplies I ever buy anymore is baking soda, borax, vinegar(by the gallon), washing soda, and bleach (I use the bleach sparingly to disinfect with). And I LOVE me some microfiber towels...I have a different color for kitchen, bathroom, general cleaning, pet dishes, etc. I also buy Fels Naptha for my laundry detergent, and essential oils for soap making and as an anti-fungal for my cleaners (lavender, lemon, orange, and eucalyptus are great). I bought a bottle of Tea Tree Oil for $7 at Walmart to use in my homemade cleaners to give them a little added boost and disinfecting power, but am not too crazy about the smell. The one bottle will probably last me for years, as will the bottles of lavender and eucalyptus I bought at GNC when it was buy one get one half off. Another easy/cheap thing I tried that really works is to put orange or lemon peels in a jar, cover with vinegar and put the lid on, and let it sit for a week or two. Strain the vinegar out and dilute with water for a nice, clean-smelling all-purpose cleaner. I sometimes add borax to this for a little more cleaning power (maybe a tablespoon or two per spray bottle). Trust me, that jar of orange peels on my cabinet has been the subject of many questions the last 2 weeks! A great tub/sink/shower scrub is just baking soda mixed with a tablesppon or two of dishwashing liquid, followed by a good hot water rinse and a spray-down of disinfectant (like the citus vinegar spray or essential oil added to hot water and vinegar). Mirrors and windows are cleaned with vinegar and water or rubbing alcohol...both are great; I clean them with coffee filters or newspaper mostly, or a shammy towel. I use hydrogen peroxide (yep, what you have in your first-aid kit) to disinfect my cutting board sometimes, and rubbing alcohol to clean my iphone almost every day (Cell phones are incredibly germy). I have noticed that my house is cleaner, smells better, and my drains never get clogged since I went to natural cleaners. Most of us buy soap and cleaners that say "antibacterial" thinking we are helping fight infection, but some researchers believe that ingredients in these soaps are contributing to super-strains of bacteria that are drug-resistant. Also, the over-use of hand sanitizers is cause for alarm. I am required to take yearly classes on infectious diseases and sanitation for my daycare license. The one thing that has not changed in the last 23 years is, one should never underestimate the cleaning power of good ol' soap and warm water...this is all it takes to clean a lot of things.
What works for soap scum? I've tried several natural cleaners and they never seem to work as well as Soft scrub with bleach!
2 cups borax 2 cups washing soda (NOT baking soda) 1 bar of finely-grated Fels Naptha soap(or you can use Ivory soap)(I use an old cheese grater to grate the soap) Optional add-ins: 1 cup baking soda(seems to soften the clothes and keep them smelling fresh) 1-2 cups Oxi-Clean or color-safe bleach (or can just add as needed to individual loads) 1 cup kosher salt (helps clean) Essential oils (just a few drops goes a long way...too much will clump. Lavender and Citrus are good anti-fungal agents) Mix everything up very well, and use 1-4 tablespoons per load. I have gotten crazy wild with my laundry detergent making, and started making laundry soap that I now use instead of Fels Naptha...my kids think I'm nuts, but I smell good and I'm clean. For the liquid version of this recipe: Add the grated soap to boiling water until it is completely melted. Then pour into a big 5-gallon bucket along with a gallon of water. Mix the dry ingredients in slowly, stirring while you do. Then finish filling the bucket up with hot water. Let it sit overnight...it will gel. Use an old laundry scoop to get it out. I am not a big fan of the gloppy texture of the liquid detergent, but adding essential oils to this is easier. I have tweaked the method a little bit: I add the melted soap to 2 gallons of hot water and all the dry stuff, and use a good old hand mixer to mix. I split this concoction between 2 very large laundry jugs (the gigantic ones that held 128+ loads), and finish filling with hot water. I shake them up before I use them, and use the "spout" and the cup that came with the original jug. These jugs last a LONG time. For a low-cost, green fabric softener, plain white vinegar works well. Vinegar is a great rinsing agent (in your dishwasher as well), and your clothes will not smell like vinegar once they dry. My best fabric softener recipe is: In a gallon jug, mix 16 oz white vinegar(can use up to 32 oz.), 1-2 oz. cheap hair conditioner (Suave is $1 a bottle), any essential oils you like, and fill the rest of the jug with hot water. Give it a good shake to dissolve the conditioner, and use no more than 1/4 cup at a time. My washer has NEVER had that funky smell so many people complain about in HE frontloaders... and my dishwasher is very clean as well because of the vinegar. I also use dryer balls (picked up at Walmart) in my dryer, and that seems to cut the drying time a little. I only buy regular detergent for my kids to take to college...they refused to take my homemade:confused3. My son-in-law was very skeptical, too, until I used my homemade laundry detergent on his nice workshirts...he is a homemade convert now because he likes not having to iron his shirts when he takes them out of the dryer! |
There's a great article on the home page of Yahoo today about the toxins in everyday cleaners. I think it was originally printed in Prevention magazine. It suggests using baking soda and vinegar for green cleaning! Just thought some might find it interesting.
Soap Scum
Here is a great "recipe" for tub and shower cleaning:
http://www.food.com/recipe/tub-and-shower-magic-434275 |
I'm going to have to try that recipe for fabric softener. I've been using diluted vinegar, which works fine for clothes that go through the dryer but isn't as good as Downy when I'm line drying, but maybe the conditioner will perk it up enough to do the trick. |
This was going to come right out of my mouth but Colleen beat me to it! :thumbsup2 :wave2: I also use Sun and Earth products. I buy them online and use them because they're gluten and soy free ;) |

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
*blink* *blink* I think this is the first time I've heard of such a call. Hitherto we've just used 'kr.' and felt that was good enough. Wonder if the Central Bank Director thinks it's past time he got deified...
Hastily drawn :) (And oh so horrible!) The snail should probably protrude from the r …
I like the idea though and it could also work as a very dramatic swash!
Question: Is it case-sensitive? Can the "r" be UC?
Not in Norwegian :) I don't know about Icelandic. Kroner is always "kr" in lowercase, without the period.
Can we get a list of Kr(suffix)-using countries and their case preferences? Also: Would it be good to use the same symbol for all of them, or different symbols [for some]?
BTW, I still don't know who the client is... But what the hey.
Yeah, I've seen both 'kr' and 'kr.' in text, but I think the latter is a bit closer to the grammar rules.
@frode – That trunked-kr reminded me of the now-defunct Reykjavík Co-Op's (KRON) signage.
@hrant – The current international designation for this currency is ISK, but I think it was IKR at one time.
Wow: some cool stuff so far.
At present, there is no "client'; however, the idea is being floated in some circles to make the Icelandic kronur the Universal Internet Currency, which makes sense because Iceland has an incredibly awesome internet infrastructure, and blazing fast access speeds.
Plus, through a proposed "pay-ahead" subscription plan, currency conversion charges would be minimal—typically, 1%. Which is to say: if you anticipate your internet purchases and pony up the money first to draw against later, in essence you have a virtual ATM card and, therefore, lower transaction fees overall.
Anyhow, websafe (at bookmark size and up) ought to be a consideration, too.
Riccardo, you read my mind! Because for one thing this thing does need to be tall and narrow. But the "K" needs to be there more.
BTW Frode: too many "strokes".
I was thinking something more like this:
But the "K" needs to be there more.
I thought that the reference to this kind of not-very-common-by-now-but-still-accepted-and-recognisable construction of |k| would put enough "k-ness" in the design:
BTW Frode: too many "strokes".
I don't know about that, but I do know that neither of your sketches read as (real-life) Nordic or Norwegian to me. The too obvious Norse connection makes me think of this article on stereotypical typography: "Is your font Racist?"
According to Wikipedia, only the Danish kroner is written with a period. Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic all write "kr". (Not counting Estonian, Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav or Fiume krone, nor Czech or Slovak koruna.) The Pharoe Island and Greenland use the Danish kroner. FIY, "krone" translates to "crown" — and that's already in the chess section of Unicode!
By the way, I think a new symbol makes sense only if it's tied to a single national currency, regardless the fact that it could share its name with other ones.
Frode, I only had one sketch. And I actually wasn't trying to make it look like a rune. But I don't mind if it does - in fact I tend to like that idea. Westerners tend to brandish the term "racism" way too enthusiastically - I see that in the US daily. Something obvious might be boring (and I personally wouldn't want a currency to ignite passions anyway*) but that does not equate to insult. Runes aren't something to be embarrassed about.
* For example the old Dutch notes were beautiful. But is the idea of currency beautiful? For one thing it was invented (in Smyrna) purely as a way to reduce bartering and facilitate taxation.
Riccardo, agreed. Except for sets of countries that actually want their currencies to share a symbol, each one should be different. BTW when I said that the "K" isn't there enough it's because when I look at it I see the "R" first, which is a problem (but maybe mine has the same problem).
Much simpler (and thus much better) than my previous:
Craig, I like very much the "flow" of your latest!
I have some difficulty to envision it in a sans serif style, though.
I have some difficulty to envision it in a sans serif style, though.
Iceland has some pretty imaginative currency design…
And for the sake of completion, slab too:
You might find it interesting, @oldnick, that the five- and ten-crown pieces have all four guardians tails while heads are a pair of dolphins on the five-crown piece and a small group of capelin on the ten-crown piece.
I think eliason would win with the simplification by daverowland.
Here is my suggestion for what it is worth (See image DKchiRhoJPEG). I regret not seeing this post earlier, as once again I seem like the nail in the coffin of another forum topic.
It is a simple bindrune, appropriate I would expect to the culture.
It reminds me of a Chi-Rho monogram, but not quite like any I have seen.
If the lines be made straight, the rune would be one that I have seen to do with mystical runes called by a name that sounds a bit like Armenian [cryptic crossword-style clue].

And when I say "uncomfortable" I mean, I get antsy when she nurses. I get this odd feeling, like I have to get her off my boob in record time or I get squeamish. My stomach gets nervous and jumpy, like I'm having an anxiety attack.
Does that make any sense?
I always feel so guilty when this happens, but I can't help it. It comes out of no-where, blindsides me that a brickwall. I am so caught off guard that I don't know how to handle it. My whole body feels it and I find myself tapping my toes and twiddling my fingers to distract myself from the feeling.
I have no idea what this means and since it's only happened five times out of the last trillion times I've nursed her, I never thought to ask my doctor.
Or maybe I never asked (or told anyone this) b/c I'm embarrassed. Embarrassed that my beautiful little daughter could cause such turmoil in me.

Imagine the guilt I feel for not even trying to nurse either if my kids. All mothers have those feelings from time to time, and I think none of us know what to do with them when they hit. Just relax, and keep on doing what you feel is right for you and your child. That's my two cents for the day.

Tips When Choosing Wall Frame Contractors
When it comes to choosing a contractor to build your timber frame home, it can be challenging given the many contractors you are bound to come across. Notably, framing and home building experts are fundamental when it comes to putting up framing plans for different buildings; residential or commercial, making it inevitable to pick one who will be experienced with your preferred design. Your best pick for a framing contractor or firm will be found by assessing their expertise and the quality of workmanship they are able to deliver without hiring the one you find first. It is advisable to go for a framing and home building contractor or firm that will offer you an all inclusive package which may include comprehensive designing, customized options and full project management up to completion instead of getting many firms to work apiece. Even when you are an ambitious homeowner who favors DIY projects, your limited framing knowledge might not be enough and you will need to get experts if you dream of an aesthetically sound end result.
It's advisable to choose the framing expert who is in a position to answer all your queries professionally without evading the hard questions not to mention you need to pick the one you feel at ease working with. When choosing the ideal framing firm or expert, you need to ask around for word of mouth or referrals since the best contractor will have a solid reputation for quality workmanship in your locality. Given that local framing contractors or firms are your best bet, you need to insist on getting references who can vouch for their past work and don't forget to ask to see their portfolio of past and ongoing projects. Since your construction project will be dictated by a set budget, you will need to identify the framing expert who has a reasonable rate according to the quotes they will provide while avoiding cheap builders and those who are unable to compete your design with the original budget.
Where you want to have quality craftsmanship, you will need to look for experience which translates into the number of years that the framing contractor has been in business while avoiding start ups who may be poor in expertise. Your ideal framing and home building firm will be affiliated and associated to leading associations in the industry which is the only assurance you have that your project will be handled under strict standards and building prerequisites. If you are looking for structural integrity with your frames, consider choosing the contractor who has the best warranties and ones who will procure quality materials for your work.

Insider Tips:F ind and Locate
Lost and Found
Modern computers with their multiple Gigabyte hard disks store thousands of files. A lost file can cause a lot of work,and it can also pose a security risk. Fortunately,Linux has some versatile tools for finding those "lost files."
If you are looking for files in Linux, the command line is your best option for quick and reliable results. GUIs such as KDE (Figure 1) typically lack comparable functionality, flexibility, and speed. The most important command for file searching is find. Without any flags specified, the tool will just find all the files below the current directory. If you want to search another directory, simply specify the directory name as the first argument. For example, find /home will output a list of the files and directories below /home.

U.S. Physicians - Statistics & Facts
Statistics and facts about U.S. physicians
In 2009, there were over 970,000 doctors of medicine all over the United States. This figure included more than 120,000 inactive and some 57,000 unclassified physicians. Thus, the U.S. has a less marked physician density compared to some other countries. Looking at individual states, Washington D.C., Massachusetts and Maryland have the highest number of physicians per civilian population. Among specialists, psychiatrists are the most prevalent physicians. Approximately one quarter of all active U.S. physicians were educated abroad.
Expenditure for physician and clinical services stood at some 500 billion U.S. dollars in 2009. Thus, such services accounted for one fifth of total U.S. healthcare spending. The largest proportion of costs for these services was paid by private health insurance firms, followed by Medicare payments.
Compensation for physicians is always a controversial issue, especially in times of economic crisis and growing health costs. Surgical specialists are the highest-earning physicians. With some 530,000 U.S. dollars, cardiac and thoracic surgery specialists have the highest annual median compensation, while orthopedic surgery specialists have the highest median starting compensation. The highest-paid physicians live in the north central part of the U.S., where the median compensation stood at 234,000 U.S. dollars in 2012.
In the U.S., a generalist physician receives more than 3,500 annual visits, while a specialist receives around 2,700 visits. According to a survey, the most frequently mentioned amount of time spent with each patient is within the range of 13 to 16 minutes. 70 percent of all general physicians provide more than 31 hours of direct patient care per week, and 40 percent have evening and weekend working hours. For specialists, these figures stand at 61 and 19 percent respectively. In general, the level of satisfaction of U.S. Americans with their physicians is very high.

Showing no signs of recovery, the industrial output slipped further to a 'disappointing' two per cent in April increasing the clamour for rate cut by the RBI and speedy clearances of projects to boost investment.
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) in April has moderated from 3.4 per cent in March on account of dismal performance of manufacturing and mining sectors, although it is better compared to a contraction of 1.3 per cent in the same month of last fiscal.
Describing the IIP in April as "disappointing", Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said: "The growth rate that has come out today is low...there is a slight upturn, but it's not strong enough."
The decline in factory output has mainly been on account of dismal performance of key sectors like manufacturing, mining, power and capital goods sectors.
Manufacturing sector, which constitutes over 75 per cent of the index, grew by a meagre 2.8 per cent in April. In the year-ago period, however, it had declined by 1.8 per cent.
Power generation grew by just 0.7 per cent in April this year compared to a growth of 4.6 per cent in same month last year. The mining sector output contracted by 3 per cent in April this year compared to a decline in the production by 2.8 per cent in April 2012.
Capital goods output saw a growth of just 1 per cent in April, compared to a decline in production by 21.5 per cent in the year-ago period.
Worried over slow growth, CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee pressed for an "accommodative" monetary policy from the Reserve Bank to stimulate investment.
Mr. Alhuwalia too said that "RBI is watching the situation ...and I hope that they will make a sensible decision".
Meanwhile, decline in wholesale as well as retail inflation has raised the hope of rate cut by the central bank which is scheduled to announce mid-quarter monetary policy review on June 17.
Commenting on the IIP data for April, FICCI President Naina Lal Kidwai said: "Overall, the investment sentiment remains subdued in manufacturing and infrastructure and unless we see speedy implementation of projects stuck due to inter-ministerial clearances, industrial growth is likely to remain moderate."
She expressed concerns over the power sector, saying that "it would impact further the growth of manufacturing and has wider implications for competitiveness of the sector".
Meanwhile, the IIP growth rate for March this year has been revised to 3.4 per cent from the provisional estimates of 2.5 per cent released last month.
Industrial growth for 2012-13 fiscal has also been revised slightly upwards to 1.1 per cent from provisional estimates of 1 per cent released in May. IIP growth in 2011-12 was 2.9 per cent.
Overall, 13 of the 22 industry groups in manufacturing sector showed positive growth during April.
The consumer goods output also saw just 2.8 per cent growth in April, compared to 3.7 per cent in same month last year.
The decline in the output of consumer durables stood at 8.3 per cent in April, from a growth of 5.4 per cent in the same month of 2012.
The consumer non-durables output grew by 12.3 per cent in April, as against 2.3 per cent in the same month last year.
The intermediate goods production grew by 2.4 per cent in April, compared to a decline in output by 1.8 per cent in the year-ago period.
The basic goods output grew by 1.3 per cent in April, as against 1.9 per cent in April 2012.
However, there has been some relief on the inflation front. Retail inflation has dropped for the third straight month to 9.31 per cent in May.
According to the data released on Wednesday, the retail inflation measured in terms of Consumer Price Index (CPI) stood at 9.39 per cent in April.
The data for Wholesale Price Index-based inflation for May is expected on Friday. The WPI in April had eased to over 3-year low of 4.89 per cent.
The RBI would take into account the drop in retail inflation as well as the WPI numbers while formulating its mid-quarterly policy review, which is scheduled on June 17.
In order to accelerate economic growth, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had last month cut key interest rates by 0.25 per cent.

Pneumonia is an infection in your lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungus. You can become infected if you come in contact with someone who is sick. You can get pneumonia if you recently had surgery or needed a ventilator to help you breathe. Pneumonia can also be caused by accidentally inhaling saliva or small pieces of food. Pneumonia may cause mild symptoms, or it can be severe and life-threatening.
You have the right to help plan your care. Learn about your health condition and how it may be treated. Discuss treatment options with your caregivers to decide what care you want to receive. You always have the right to refuse treatment.RISKS:
Pneumonia increases your risk for breathing problems. The infection can spread to other areas of your body. Pus or extra fluid may pool in the space around your lungs, or your lungs may become badly damaged. You may not be able to get enough oxygen if your lungs are inflamed or damaged. Low oxygen levels can damage other organs, such as your kidneys, heart, and brain.
- Antibiotics are given to treat a bacterial infection.
- Acetaminophen may be given to decrease pain.
- Pulse oximetry measures the amount of oxygen in your blood.
- Blood and urine tests may show signs of an infection or the bacteria causing your pneumonia. Blood tests can also show how much oxygen is in your blood.
- A chest x-ray or CT scan may show signs of infection in your lungs.
- A mucus sample is collected and tested for the germ that is causing your illness. It can help your healthcare provider choose the best medicine to treat the infection.
- Airway clearance techniques are exercises to help remove mucus so you can breathe more easily. Your healthcare provider will show you how to do the exercises. These exercises may be used along with machines or devices to help decrease your symptoms.
- Respiratory support is given to help you breathe. You may receive oxygen to increase the level of oxygen in your blood. You may also need a machine to help you breathe.

There is a Lobster House next to the Howard Johnsons on 192 just west of I 4 thats pretty good. About 40.00 per person. There is Captain Nemos down at the Holiday Inn thats all you can eat Lobster if you turn right on 192 when you leave Disney about 2 miles down. Tourist place..not all that good.
Personally I eat at Red Lobster everytime I go down there. Nice place and food is always good..ESPECIALLY the Garlic cheese biscuits!
Sorry, in my opinion there really is no place on property that is good for Lobster. I live on the Jersey shore and get better lobster here than I do in the parks, so I usually go for other things.

I wish I knew the answer to this question! Come august, it will be mini-season for rock lobster, maybe you can take a side trip to daytona, vero, or cocao and catch a few. There is no better lobster than those which are just removed from the sea.
Every time we go to WDW, we go to Fulton's. But, it's not for the Lobster, it's for the crab claws! The first time we went, the waiter suggested that we get the crab claws over the lobster. He said that there was more meat in the claws than the lobster.
The crab was sweet and there was plenty there for me. I left full.
We are going again in Sept.

Is State Income Tax Unconstitutional?
Submitted by TommyPaine on Tue, 10/22/2013 - 21:38I don't know if this has ever been challenged, but it seems that the states have no constitutional authority to collect income tax.
The Constitution for the United States of America says:
Article 6:
"This Constitution ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land ... any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
10th Amendment:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution ... are reserved to the States ..."
16th Amendment:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes ..."
Since the Constitution prohibits the states from passing any laws contrary to the Constitution, and prohibits them from having any powers that are delegated to the federal government, and since the federal government has been delegated the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes (assuming the 16th was properly ratified, etc.), then it follows that the law of the land prohibits any state from instituting an income tax.
Anyone know if this has ever been challenged?

It is not technically a State tax, but rather a revenu sharing
agreement with the Feds.
Look at your state laws.
If you aren't liable for the Federal so-called "income tax" you aren't liable for your "state" version of the tax.
That isn't a coincidence - it's the same tax, passed under the same authority. Notice your state AGI is adjusted by the amount of Federal Tax paid? That isn't to be "nice" it is to avoid tax upon tax issues.
Some states choose not to collect it.

Let's keep this simple, people
I don't want to argue about what constitutes income because we all know that it will be whatever suits the government.
Anyhow, on topic, the 14th amendment grants the fed the power to levy taxes but does not prohibit the states from doing so. So, all it does is expand the power of the fed but does nothing to reduce the power of the state.
my 2 cents
- Login to post comments
I have a question for you...
and it must be answered first, before your question can be accurately addressed. What is income? I don't mean the ordinary meaning of income, I mean the legal definition of the term as it is used in the 16th Amendment. Since the claimed authority to tax "income" is derived from the passage of the 16th Amendment, this is a relevant and critical question. Clearly, income is not gross receipts, because corporations pay the income tax only on their net profits, after all costs of sale and expenses are deducted. Does it mean one thing for a corporation and another for an individual? Can a term have two different legal definitions? So, in legal terms, what is income? Where can I find it defined? Provide a legal definition for that term and then your question can be adequately answered. (Hint: answering the question correctly, will in turn provide the correct answer to the question that you ask).
- Login to post comments
Income, per the SCOTUS, in the 16th has the same definition it
had in the 1907 Corporate Tax Act.
This is because THIS is the definition that was in the public mind at the time they ratified the 16th, and so their rules of construction dictate that unless another amendment is added, "income" will forever have this definition - and Congress is NOT allowed to redefine it to mean anything they want.
There is even an early SCOTUS case on this exact question, I believe from either 1915 or 1922, I don't recall exactly.
Sorry I don't have citations handy, but someone here should be able to find them.

It's a profits tax ...
... but to understand it, we have to have the context of history.
Before the 20th century, most businesses had a legal structure of either sole proprietorship, partnership, or trust. Corporations were not used like they are today because many states did not recognize them and of those that did, many had laws restricting what they could do.
This is why the term "Massachusetts Business Trust" comes up sometimes. Massachusetts had a law forbidding corporations from owning real estate, so people used trusts instead.
The terms "trust busting" and "anti-trust" were used by the statists when they wanted to break up Standard Oil Company, which was a series of business trusts, not corporations.
Sometimes in the liberty movement we run across terms like "pure trust." This term was uttered by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Morrissey vs. Commissioner (1935) when they determined how business trusts or, they called it a "pure trust," would be taxed.
This is the court case where the term "an association taxable as a corporation" comes from. This is why the IRS has a "check the box" form (Form 8832). They MUST abide by the Morrissey case, but they don't want to, which is why there is a lot of propaganda out there.
Anyway ...
The point is that before the 20th century, corporations were not used all that much. Some, but not like today. But as they were becoming more and more common, more and more states were passing laws allowing their creation. Since they are creatures of the state, they must follow the state's laws.
Congress passed the Corporation Excise Tax of 1909, which taxed the "privilege" of "doing business in corporate form," and it was a tax on net profits. The law said:
"That every corporation, joint stock company or association, organized for profit and having a capital stock represented by shares ... now or hereafter organized under the laws of the United States or of any State ... shall be subject to pay annually a special excise tax with respect to carrying on or doing business by such corporation ... equivalent to one per centum on the entire net income over and above five thousand dollars received by it from all sources during such year...."
This was upheld as constitutional by the SCOTUS in Flint vs. Stone Tracy (1911).
Right after that, Congress passed the 16th Amendment and the Income Tax Act of 1913. The 16th was never properly ratified and should not be a part of the Constitution, but the law business is corrupt.
In 1926, the SCOTUS ruled in the Bowers v. Kerbaugh-Empire case that:
"The Sixteenth Amendment declares that Congress shall have power to levy and collect taxes on income, 'from whatever source derived' without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration. It was not the purpose or effect of that amendment to bring any new subject within the taxing power. Congress already had power to tax all incomes. But taxes on incomes from some sources had been held to be 'direct taxes' within the meaning of the constitutional requirement as to apportionment. Art. 1, 2, cl. 3, 9, cl. 4; Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., 158 U.S. 601 , 15 S. Ct. 912. The Amendment relieved from that requirement and obliterated the distinction in that respect between taxes on income that are direct taxes and those that are not, and so put on the same basis all incomes 'from whatever source derived.' Brushaber v. Union Pac. R. R., 240 U.S. 1, 17 , 36 S. Ct. 236, 241 (60 L. Ed. 493, L. R. A. 1917D, 414, Ann. Cas. 1917B, 713). 'Income' has been taken to mean the same thing as used in the Corporation Excise Tax Act of 1909 (36 Stat. 112), in the Sixteenth Amendment, and in the various revenue acts subsequently passed. Southern Pacific Co. v. Lowe, 247 U.S. 330, 335 , 38 S. Ct. 540; Merchants' L. & T. Co. v. Smietanka, 255 U.S. 509, 219 , 41 S. Ct. 386, 15 A. L. R. 1305. After full consideration, this court declared that income may be defined as gain derived from capital, from labor, or from both combined, including profit gained through sale or conversion of capital. Stratton's Independence v. Howbert, 231 U.S. 399, 415 , 34 S. Ct. 136; Doyle v. Mitchell Brothers Co., 247 U.S. 179, 185 , 38 S. Ct. 467; Eisner v. Macomber, 252 U.S. 189, 207 , 40 S. Ct. 189, 9 A. L. R. 1570. And that definition has been adhered to and applied repeatedly. See, e. g., Merchants' L. & T. Co. v. Smietanka, supra, 518 (41 S. Ct. 386); Goodrich v. Edwards, 255 U.S. 527, 535 , 41 S. Ct. 390; United States v. Phellis, 257 U.S. 156, 169 , 42 S. Ct. 63; Miles v. Safe Deposit Co., 259 U.S. 247, 252 , 253 S., 42 S. Ct. 483; United States v. Supplee-Biddle Co., 265 U.S. 189, 194 , 44 S. Ct. 546; Irwin v. Gavit, 268 U.S. 161, 167, 45 S. Ct. 475; Edwards v. Cuba Railroad, 268 U.S. 628, 633 , 45 S. Ct. 614. In determining what constitutes income substance rather than form is to be given controlling weight. Eisner v. Macomber, supra, 206 (40 S. Ct. 189)."
Is that the answer you were looking for? ;-)

It was closer than
I expected, and quite fast too. So then, if it is a "profits" tax, and also falls into the category of an excise tax, and it is levied for the "privilege" of "doing business in corporate form", what does that have to do with taxing a person's wages? The footnote in Doyle V Mitchell Bros. (which also was a case involving a corporation because at that time they were not even yet taxing wages directly) states that "gross income" is what is left after all business expenses were deducted from gross receipts. If that is so, how is it now that the IRS now defines gross income as gross receipts before any deductions? How can taxable income be one thing for a corporation and another for an individual? It can not. The only reason the courts ruled that it was an excise tax and not a direct tax on property is because the "income" was separated from it's sources (the property it may have been derived from) through a profit and loss statement. A tax on a persons wages does no such thing. A person is not allowed, like a business to deduct all of their living expenses to determine if a profit has been made at all, and in most cases, that means no one would even make a profit or have to pay the tax In fact, the 16th Amendment never mentions wages at all, only income, which we both agreed is a corporate profit, which most individuals don't have at all. Which is exactly why the Internal Revenue Code does not define the term...well to be fair they define Gross Income as "all income from whatever source derived", which conveniently still doesn't tell you what income is. That is the deception. Income, as used in the 16th Amendment does not mean wages, yet the IRS pretends that it does. A tax on your wages would be a direct tax, which if levied without apportionment would amount to a new taxing power, which Congress did not previously possess, and the Supreme Court clearly ruled that the 16th Amendment granted "no new power of taxation"...It is a deception and a fraud as it is being imposed by the federal government, and therefore, the same is true for the states because the states that have it simply adopted the federal code, which legally binds them to the same definitions and restrictions which apply to the federal government.

Yes ...
... but I'm taking it one step further than you.
I'm saying that (a) even if the 16th was properly ratified, and (b) even if income is defined as gain (or hell, even if it's not), and (c) even if the states piggyback on the feds to figure out how MUCH to tax "income," then ... STILL ... the states are not allowed to do it because it is a violation of the 10th Amendment and Article 6.
I don't know if its ever been challenged.

It certainly is
an interesting legal question, and I have never heard of it being challenged on those terms and it may be worth exploring; however, my only caveat would be the problem of where you would have to challenge it. The courts in this country have been so severely compromised that many of them are little more than kangaroo courts and there are very, very few judges out there that are willing to cut off either state or federal revenue no matter how sound your argument may be. There are really quite a few legal issues to challenge the income tax on, in addition to the ones I and you referenced...there is the 13th Amendment (taking a portion of your wages without your consent technically would fall into the category of involuntary servitude) and there is also 5th Amendment issues, simply because you are forced to sign a document (return) under oath that can be used as evidence against you in a court of law. There is also the "void for vagueness" issue...what is more vague than our income tax laws? The income tax is repugnant to freedom on a number of levels; however, you, still need a court which is willing to uphold the law, and quite often, they will choose securing revenue for the state over the rule of law, hands down. It's called tyranny and it's taken root and won't be uprooted easily. If you do decide to pursue it, please keep us posted.

Sue every state that has an income tax for fraud for failure to pay income tax refunds in gold and silver currency. That would probably amount to close to one TRILLION dollars since the Silver certificate was removed from the systems by the Federal Reserve parasites.

State income taxes existed
State income taxes existed both before and immediately after the passing of the Constitution. No one found it unusual. At no time that I am aware of, did people say "hey! States cannot tax people's incomes! It is against the Constitution we just signed!"
Ergo, the Constitution didn't forbid states from collecting taxes.

No, that's not quite true ...
... there was no such thing as an "income tax" as we know it today. Not even with the states.
The principle was that any tax that must be paid directly from the citizen to the government is a direct tax, and any tax that was paid through a third party was an indirect tax.
The states could have either type of tax, unless they prohibited it in their own state constitutions.
What many states did was to tax the ownership of property, especially real estate. They came up with all sorts of ingenious ways to do it, such as count the number of windows to determine the tax. This concept goes back to medieval days.
But the states would also tax anything related to the property, such as any income derived from it. So, yes there were taxes on the income associated with ownership of property, but there was no general income tax on wages, salaries, capital gains, etc. as we know it today.
To say the states had income taxes and there was no problem is just not true. Even then, most states didn't even have that type of tax for most of the time after the Constitution was ratified and before 1913.

Income tax is theft, no matter what entity is responsible. This reminds me of the argument democrats (read statists) love to use when they encounter someone defending state's rights. They cry racism and all that nonsense. The Bill of Rights must be respected and upheld by governent at all levels. it should have been common sense that the Bill of Rights when created would by definiton make slavery immoral and illegal. The problem wasn't the Constitution it was the societal norm at the time.
For a good explanation on the 16th Amendment I suggest watching Aaron Russo's America: From Freedom to Fascism. In it he interviews many people with expert knowledge on these cases, particularly the Eisenhower vs Montgomery case. The Supreme Court has determined more than once that the Federal Gov't and the IRS are not granted any new taxing authority from the 16th amendment. Furthermore it has defined income as "gains or profits from corporate activity"

No it's NOT unconstitutional... and here's why...
No! And here is why.
The state income tax is not an additional income tax. It is an extension of the federal income tax. Income tax in general is an excise tax.
So, to understand this one must understand the income tax. The nature of the income tax is that which is mainly an excise tax
So for instance, the state income tax comes into play once federal income tax liability has been established. So in a state where there is a state income tax and there is federally adjusted gross income that means if the transaction occured in a state that has an income tax the state just gets a piece or portion of the transaction in relation to the federal income tax. Its not its own tax all by itself. Its specifically related to the federal income tax.
now, if one wants to understand who is liable for the income tax that's a whole different argument. Just to make a long story short we can just say for the record that personal income tax has nothing to do with the average guy living and working in the private sector in any one of the 50 states of the union. All the personal income tax has ever been even after the 16th amendment is an excise tax. So if one were to read the state statutes pertaining to income tax one with clearly find out very quickly that if there is federally adjusted gross income then there is state income tax liability. Reverse the logic, if there is no federally adjusted gross income then there is no state income tax imposed.
And anyone who knows anything about the income tax in it's most basic form knows that income tax has nothing to do with the average guy but mainly is realated to foreign related Commerce, that's it.
For instance if some guy in France has a transaction here in New Jersey which is a US domestic transaction with a US Person the income tax comes into play on the federal level and New Jersey would just get a portion of the transactions. That's pretty much it in a nutshell
So, the income tax is quite constitutional, it's just most people do not understand what the income taxe is and the way the law actually imposes the income tax. And that can be another argument for another thread where we can discuss what the Income Tax is and why it is that Congress did not have the authority to impose the tax on anyone who just made money. So the argument about the income tax being unconstitutional is actually the wrong argument to make since income taxes are entirely Constitutional.
The problem is with the intentional Misapplication of the tax on the national level to most people who do not even owe the tax and are not aware that they do not owe tax. Anyone who wants to go and read my older posts on income tax on more than welcome to do so to clearly see why this is the case.
if you want to go further in understanding what the income tax actually is then I highly recommend you read a book by Dave champion entitled income tax shattering the myths. It explains in thorough detail the entire nature of the tax and how the government has gotten away with it misapplication over the many decades it has existed.

Well *IF* state income tax ...
... is an extension of federal income tax, then it is a violation of the 10th Amendment. That's how it's done, I know. But it is still a violation of the 10th Amd.
Regarding the foreign aspect, I have checked out Larken Rose's stuff and he makes a compelling case that the original federal income tax section for defining "gross income" morphed into what is today Section 861, which is about foreign source income.
It would be interesting to see who was paying income taxes back in the 1920's or so.
It's also interesting to note that most of the high court cases I've come across from the early days of the income tax all have to do either with income related to the government or something foreign.
Even the famous case of Brushaber vs. Union Pacific fit this profile because Union Pacific Railroad was a corporation created by an act of Congress, similar to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Congress created Union Pacific to finish the railroad in the West (from the Union to the Pacific Ocean), and there were no states out there (it was federal territory). Brushaber was a shareholder and receiving dividends, from which the new income tax was being withheld.
In any case, that argument is a side discussion. If the states are just sponging off the feds on income tax, then it's a clear violation of the 10th Amd.

Just thought I would point that out.
And there's nothing wrong with the States collecting a portion of a federal tax. Nothing in the Constitution prohibits the "power to lay and collect taxes" relating to an indirect tax, in this case the "income tax" from the States collecting "their share".
It's like this. The States get a portion of the tax from what was transacted in their jurisdiction relating to the "income tax"
There's a really good book, called "Income Tax: Shattering the myths by Dave Champion"
REally really good read. And Dave shoots down Larken's 861 position. Just thought you would like to know.

That's incorrect
The income tax is neither an Indirect tax nor is it a Direct tax. A direct tax must be imposed uniformally across a population. An indirect tax (excise tax) MUST be apportioned. Hence the gasoline tax funds must be used to fund and maintain the federal highway system. A tax which is withheld without consent and is not appropriate is wholly unconstitutional
- Login to post comments
It is BOTH direct and indirect ...
... depending on the SOURCE, which is why they wrote it that way.
Historically, any tax on the ownership of property was a direct tax, and this included the "income" or "profit" that was "derived from" the ownership of that property. But a different type of tax on income, such as an excise for the privilege of doing business, was an indirect tax.
So, "income" could be EITHER direct or indirect, depending on what type of income it was.
This is why the Supreme Court declared the Income Tax Act of 1894 unconstitutional, because it included taxes on real estate income, for example, which was an unapportioned direct tax.
That's why they worded the 16th the way they did. The "source" has to do with whether the income is generated from ownership of property or something else.
Today, many courts have claimed it is direct and many other courts have claimed it is indirect. This is because most judges don't know what the f&ck they are talking about. It is BOTH.
This is why today, dividends from a US corporation are considered "US source" and dividends from a foreign corporation are considered "foreign source," but capital gains on the sale of the stock of a US or foreign corporation is either US source or foreign source, depending on where the SELLER is located.
See my post above that starts with "It's a profits tax." That includes what I consider the definitive statement by the Supreme Court because, unlike everything else, they actually explain all the cases up to that point, and the concept they laid out has not been overturned.
Of course, it is STILL being collected unconstitutionally, because "income" is a tax on GAIN (as that case explains), but it is not being collected that way today.

Without a doubt it is an INDIRECT TAX
Without a doubt it is an INDIRECT TAX
And, the Brushaber US Supreme Court ruling even stated that the income tax could NOT be a third unknown hitherto power of taxation.
There are Direct Taxes and Indirect Taxes via the US Constitution. The Supremes explicitly said the Income tax can only be one or the other....
THAT MEANS THEY SAID THE 16th Amendment ONLY confirmed that Congress could lay an income tax as an INDIRECT TAX.
