Queenstown Triple Challenge (Jet Boat Ride, Helicopter and White Water Rafting)
- All taxes, fuel surcharges and service fees included
- Free drinks included
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
- Scenic helicopter flight
Immediately following the jet boat ride, you proceed to Cavell's Rafting Lodge, where you change into a full wetsuit. Transfer to the heli-pad and climb aboard a turbine-powered helicopter for a spectacular rollercoaster flight up Skippers Canyon.
You will land at Deep Creek, where you'll meet the experienced white water rafting guides. After extensive safety instructions and paddling techniques, board your raft and paddle over peaceful waters at first, before striking the exhilarating rapids of the lower Canyon. Experience rapids such as Rock Garden, Sharks Fin, Toilet, Pinball, Jaws, Sequel and the unforgettable, 170 meter Oxenbridge Tunnel, followed closely by Cascade Rapid. From your take out point, you will be transferred to Cavell's Rafting Lodge for a hot shower and sauna, before returning back to Queenstown.
Guides are fully licensed and are carefully chosen on the basis of their skill and experience, their ability to make sound decisions and their ability to communicate and identify with our clients. Rafting on the Shotover River varies in difficulty according to river levels. In the event the Shotover River is unsuitable, rafting may be transferred to the Kawarau River.

This tour was amazing!
Reviewed by: David B, Australia, July 2014
No access via the icy roads in winter made the triple challenge the only option to link the jet boat and rafting trips. Well worth the extra money for the chopper ride though. The jet boat and the rafting staff were very effecient, knowledgable, friendly and often very funny - Jack the rafting guide in particular. Couldn't imagine not having done this trip. Just great fun.

Network Simulator 2: a Simulation Tool for Linux
The ARIES (Advanced Research on Internet E-Servers) Project started in 2000 as part of the Open Systems Lab research activities at the Ericsson Corporate Unit of Research. Initially, the project aimed to find and prototype the necessary technology to prove the feasibility of an internet server that had the guaranteed availability, response time and scalability using Linux and open-source software. The project was successful, and it continued in 2001 to focus on enhancing the clustering capabilities of Linux to be the operating system of choice for the Mobile Internet servers. Many enhancements were added in the areas of load balancing, traffic distribution and security, in addition to IPv6 support.
One interesting question that came up was what is the impact of supporting IPv6 on other protocols used by different applications on our Linux clusters? To answer this question, we started a study investigating the effects of IPv6 support on other protocols, such as SCTP. Part of the study is to test applications in SCTP over IPv6. However, we did not have the time and resources to set up a lab with multiple nodes and applications that use SCTP over IPv6. Instead, we chose the next best solution, network simulation.
There is a growing recognition within different internet communities of the importance of simulation tools that help design and test new internet protocols. New services and protocols present challenges for testing. For instance, quality of service and multicast delivery require large and complex environments. Protocol designers recognize the advantages of simulation when computing resources are not available or are too expensive to duplicate a real lab setup. With simulation, you can do large-scale tests that are controlled and reproducible. This was exactly what we needed to build our case scenarios; the search started primarily for an open-source tool because most of our work targets the deployment of open-source software based on Linux.
Our target application is a real-time network simulation tool that we can use to define the different scenarios. A very interesting open-source tool we came across was Network Simulator 2 (NS2), which was developed by the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California.
In this article, we summarize how to install and configure NS2 and look at two different simulation scenarios. The first scenario involves monitoring SCTP traffic between two nodes, and the second scenario looks at the behavior of web traffic and web applications over TCP over a six-node network.
NS2 is an open-source simulation tool that runs on Linux. It is a discreet event simulator targeted at networking research and provides substantial support for simulation of routing, multicast protocols and IP protocols, such as UDP, TCP, RTP and SRM over wired and wireless (local and satellite) networks. It has many advantages that make it a useful tool, such as support for multiple protocols and the capability of graphically detailing network traffic. Additionally, NS2 supports several algorithms in routing and queuing. LAN routing and broadcasts are part of routing algorithms. Queuing algorithms include fair queuing, deficit round-robin and FIFO.
NS2 started as a variant of the REAL network simulator in 1989 (see Resources). REAL is a network simulator originally intended for studying the dynamic behavior of flow and congestion control schemes in packet-switched data networks.
Currently NS2 development by VINT group is supported through Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) with SAMAN and through NSF with CONSER, both in collaboration with other researchers including ACIRI (see Resources). NS2 is available on several platforms such as FreeBSD, Linux, SunOS and Solaris. NS2 also builds and runs under Windows.
Simple scenarios should run on any reasonable machine; however, very large scenarios benefit from large amounts of memory. Additionally, NS2 requires the following packages to run: Tcl release 8.3.2, Tk release 8.3.2, OTcl release 1.0a7 and TclCL release 1.0b11.
The process of installing NS2 is straightforward yet lengthy. At the time of writing, the most recent version was 2.1b8. We are interested in the "all-in-one" package because it includes the source code that we want to patch in SCTP support.
You can download the all-in-one package from the NS2 home page (see Resources) into /usr/src and extract it as follows:
cd /usr/src tar xzvf ns-allinone-2.1b8.tar.gz cd ns-allinone-2.1b8
Because we want to examine a case scenario involving SCTP, we need to apply the SCTP patch to NS2 from the University of Delaware. The patch is available for the NS2 all-in-one 2.1b8 version and can be downloaded from the Protocol Engineering Lab home page (see Resources). With the Linux patch utility, you can update the NS2 source code to include support for SCTP by applying the patch:
patch -p0 < ns-allinone-2.1b8.sctp-rel2.2_patch_orig
In the same directory, there is a script named install that will configure, compile and install the required and optional NS2 components. There is no interaction with the user while installing; the script is completely automated. You must execute the script as superuser so that installation of binaries will be completed:
When the installation process is complete, the following message will appear on your shell
Please put $CUR_PATH/bin:$CUR_PATH/tcl$TCLVER/unix:$CUR_PATH/ tk$TKVER/unix into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph. IMPORTANT NOTICES: [...]
Carefully follow all instructions given in the notices. The above-mentioned variables can be updated either by editing /etc/profile or changing environment variables directly. In case you updated /etc/profile, you need to source your new environment for the changes to take effect (i.e., source /etc/profile).
The NS2 validation suite will verify that all protocols are functional. This will fail if the install process was not completed; however, running validation is optional, and it consumes twice as much time as the compilation and installation process.
To run the validation suite:
cd ./ns-2.1b8 ./validate

Change queue parameters dynamically during the simulation r
Dear friend,
I want to change parameters of a RED queue during the simulation but it seems that some parameters can be modified only before starting the simulation, not dynamically, while the simulation is in progress. For example the following subroutines works before $ns run command but it do not affect the behavior of the queue during the simulation( I want to change maxthresh_ and thresh_ after $ns run command):
proc setREDParameters { redQueue MINth MAXth PER_MaxP Wq } {
$redQueue set thresh_ $MINth
$redQueue set maxthresh_ $MAXth
$redQueue set q_weight_ $Wq
$redQueue set linterm_ $PER_MaxP
return $redQueue
Who knows what I should do ?

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Take notes on your mobile device with Catch Notes
Jot down notes, inspirations, or any idea you have with the help of Catch Notes.
With Evernote being the 800-pound gorilla of online notes, there isn't much space for a new app to compete. Catch Notes takes a novel approach by giving you a simpler experience with tons of control over its features. It's worth trying, but might not be enough to get you to switch from your current favorite note-taking app.
Since the app syncs your notes over the Web, it requires an account to use. You can log in to it through Facebook or Google for an easy setup, though. If you do, your notes stay private and aren't shared over Facebook unless you share them. The app lets you lock your notes with a passcode, too. You can organize your notes into one of five categories that you create. If you want more categories or to go over the 40MB storage limit, you have to subscribe or refer your friends to the app, a la Dropbox. Catch Notes doesn't just borrow from that app; it's heavily inspired by Evernote. It differentiates itself by allowing you to color-code your notes and change the color of the app's menus. It also features a cool widget that you don't have to download separately.
Catch Notes does a good job of borrowing ideas from your favorite apps and making them into something new. The space restrictions might ruin it for some who take a lot of notes. If you're willing to accept the limited space in return for a cooler, more flexible layout and widget, then Catch Notes is worth downloading. But if you're already using a note-taking app that you love, this probably isn't game-changing enough to win you over.

Beautiful Garden Ideas
We want our gardens to be in full bloom in time for summer. No matter the size of your outdoor space, your garden can be a beautiful sanctuary of colours, scents and textures. Your garden is a great way to embrace nature with flowers, shrubs and greenery and bring your own unique style, outside!
How Can You Create A Beautiful Outside Space With Garden Pots?
Not all of us are naturally green fingered but we all want to enjoy our time relaxing in our gardens. Garden Pots are a fantastic simple way to bring some rustic charm into your garden and are also a practical solution to gardening.
There are many ways you can use garden pots, including:
- Steps – placing a pot on each step, even if you only have one or two, is a simple yet very effective way to make more of your steps. Use a dramatic flower such as Strelitzia (bird of paradise) to really catch the eye.
- Collection or cluster – a cluster of pots in all shapes and sizes is a wonderful way to add an unusual feature in your garden. As your flowers or plants grow your feature will change-which is the true beauty of garden style.
- Water feature – usually, when we think water feature, we think of a fountain or stream running through our garden. This season is a perfect time to think outside the box and use your pots, pitchers and watering cans to make a unique water feature. Try stacking your pots on different levels and let water overflow into each pot.
- Larger pots –you can create standalone flowerbeds, containing a fern or grasses which moves with the strength of the wind. Trees can even be planted in large garden pots, as long as they are re-potted and their roots trimmed every year.
- Vintage charm –Use antique iron and industrial materials for hanging baskets to bring a beautiful contrasting texture. The soft floral shades and movements of your flowers will look stunning against vintage objects. Try Fuchsias, which will hang beautifully. (more…)

The Homeland Security Conspiracy
By Delwyn Lounsbury - THE DEFLATION GURU
Beware the Department of Homeland Security conspiracy: Biggest and most relevant story in America!
By Delwyn Lounsbury - The Deflation Guru
The Department of Homeland Security conspiracy is a sad development in the total totalitarian takeover try of America. There is considerable evidence of rogue unconstitutional US Department of Homeland Security conspiracy and police state activity. There are already over 70 DHS FUSION CENTERS set up across the United States, each with state-of-the-art snooping technology. Click here: Fusion Centers to see map and addresses.
Corrupt leaders of both parties in our government have joined a worldwide secret collectivist consortium of mega-rich central banking families who are pushing for a totalitarian one world government - a new world order (a.k.a., new underworld order). It is a hellish plan for a globalist fascist state using fear-based themes to scare and usurp power and money from the world's middle classes. Think: The mafia joins the Nazi Gestapo to become Big Brother! The Homeland Security conspiracy is that bad.
Some 300 FEMA prison camps have already been constructed for protesters here in America. "Frontline" on PBS TV reports that over $3 trillion has been funneled to the agency since 9/11 and that they have over 70 high-tech surveillance control "Fusion" centers spread all over the United States. Now, the homeland security conspiracy and police state is buying 30,000 unmanned drone aircraft to spy on us.
A ransacked U.S. Constitution (by the Obama Administration) means your once free country is heading toward a fascist police state with a big-time loss in freedom and liberty. It's an Orwellian world in which you are controlled by a covert "Big Brother" secretive Zionist totalitarian dictatorship by nefarious corrupt central banking families and their cohorts in crime. These 1,000 or so families own all 150 sovereign national banks and therefore have been getting mega rich for several hundred years as they print fiat monopoly money out of thin air. The Zionist Jewish Rothschild family cabal and cartel out of the City of London most likely own or control much of the corporate stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and other world central banks. They have had total control of the American Government since they helped form the Federal Reserve in 1913.
The Anglo American financial power elites based in Washington DC, the City of London, Tel Aviv and Vatican City along with their corporate cronies and the military industrial complex are the ones behind the police state. Their nurturing private members only think tanks are the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and in Europe the Bilderberg Group and are predominately Jewish.
Without cash your every purchase and every move will be watched. One misstep, gun law infraction or complaint about government not abiding by the constitution and you could be labeled a terrorist and sent to one of the giant FEMA tent prisons. Do not pass go and do not collect $200! THINK GULAG!
In fact, the Indefinite Detention Bill part of the NDAA Act passed in November of 2011 by a wide margin in both the House and the Senate makes it a law you will have no right to habeas corpus, formal charges, right to an attorney or even a court trial and maybe rendition and assassination.
This is a violation of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and of a "posse comitas" agreement dating way back to the 1898 Spanish American War in which our leaders at that time agreed the Army/military would never be used on American civilians. The Patriot Act was a similar huge usurpation of constitutional rights. The Patriot Act undermined your 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution! THINK LENIN AND STALIN!
Surveillance cameras will be everywhere including 30,000 unmanned drone aircraft just ordered by the homeland security conspiracy. The $83.6 billion in funding of which was just approved by both houses of our corrupt congress. More TSA like body scanners will be everywhere, including at the grocery store, plus new illegal assembly laws, and every other kind of jack-booted dictatorial Gestapo Nazi control you can think of. The US Department of Homeland Security just ordered 1.6 billion hollow point bullets plus millions of shotgun slugs.
Civil protesters beware!
You would think there is a suicide bombing attack daily in the USA. It's been 10 years since the 9/11 attack (and the anthrax scare) and not a single incident. Besides, 9/11 may have resulted from covert meddling in the Middle East by CIA and other intelligence black ops devious deeds like money laundering, assassinations and heroin and other drug trafficking and other covert acts) to the point of upsetting Muslims to no end. In addition, the US anthrax incidents were tracked back to possible military involvement. Do not hornets swarm out and sting if one messes with their nest? THINK VIETNAM!
Now, we find the corrupt US Congress has approved (and President Obama the socialist communist Marxist fascist Nazi has signed) a law funding 30,000 DRONE UNMANNED SPY AIRCRAFT for use inside America's boundaries at the behest of the fascist Homeland Security conspiracy. Bill, HR 658, the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act authorizes the manufacture and deployment of the dreadful spy drones by 2015 at a cost of $63.4 Billion which may not include the cost of supporting and maintaining them after they are deployed. I thought we were cutting spending. Who are the financial power elite enabling military industrial complex crony capitalists getting the spy drone construction contracts? THINK HONEYWELL & LOCKHEED!
With the passage of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 - Section 903, homeland security fascism gets its WAASS (Wide Area Aerial Surveillance System) of unmanned drones capable of viewing 16 square kilometers. Here are the specs: The primary objective of WAASS is to provide persistent, long-term surveillance over urban and rural terrain at least the size of 16 km2. The surveillance system shall have an electro-optical capability for daylight missions but can have an infrared capability for day or night operations.
What are they going to do to us next? Equip these drones with HELLFIRE MISSILES and kill citizens - men, women and children - like they did in Waco, Texas? President Obama just OK'd a bomb armed drone to kill U.S. citizen and terrorist suspect Anwar al Awlaki (along with his brother and son) in Pakistan with no formal charge or trial. President Obama makes a habit of doing these unconstitutional acts. Obama hates America and everything he does is meant to undermine the US. He is definitely a socialist Marxist puppet and mole for the financial power elite. President Barack Hussein Obama is now morphing into a dictator! THINK BIG BROTHER JOINS THE MAFIA!
There is no reason to have such 24/7 surveillance of American citizens other than the usual global governance bunch fear-based ploy of scaring the middle class into relinquishing the last of its money and power to the Anglo American financial power elite central "Banksters" who own or control all 110 central banks that print money out of thin air and who want a one-world government. This would mean 600 spy drones per state. What Safety? It is going to be 30,000 times more unsafe. If you fly a light airplane around our country you are likely to smack into one by accident – the deadly drones can't see your Cessna coming.
A homeland security conspiracy like this must mean the powers-that-be expect massive American citizen revulsion against the coming PHONY Iran War (it's actually about Iran refusing to sell oil for dollars any more) leading into PHONY World War Three (it's actually a Zionist smokescreen to take your freedom and depopulate the earth in a new elite feudalism so the last of the globes natural resources are saved for themselves). The corrupt US Congress must also expect widespread food riots and protests in the coming deflation economy and Greater Depression (see my sister site deflationeconomy.com). Why don't you hear about any of this? Well, because the evil elite own all the mainstream media. That's why! In fact, if it is in the major newspapers or on the nightly news you can believe the opposite most of the time. THINK 1984!
This is their nefarious plot modus operandi - create chaos and offer bigger government and even one world government as the best solution. So, out of chaos comes order - a new world order. Act now or expect a future in which you, your children and your children's children are slaves or serfs to the greedy godless globalist demigods who want to be kings in a possible NEW DARK AGES.
Conclusion: Only the truth told by the "INTERNET REFORMATION REVOLUTION" about this elite "DIRECTED HISTORY" toward one world government totalitarian homeland security conspiracy and police state and a return to private gold backed money can save us. Only gold is honest and not someone else's debt. Join the Internet Reformation Revolution! ASAP!
The Internet Reformation Revolution is getting the word out in the alternative media just like the invention of the Gutenberg printing press helped mankind understand how the-world-really-works 500 years ago.
We have to all hang together or we will each hang separately. This homeland security conspiracy and subterfuge is TYRANNY! THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING! BY THE INSIDIOUS ZIONIST POWERS-THAT SHOULD'T-BE! TO YOU AND I – WE-THE-PEOPLE! ON YOUR WATCH!

Why Does The Department Of Homeland Security Need MILLIONS of Hollow Point Bullets?
Posted: 28 Mar 2012 05:32 PM PDT
Courtesy THE AMERICAN DREAM
Somebody out there has decided that the Department of Homeland Security needs a whole lot of ammunition. Recently it was announced that ATK was awarded a contract to provide up to 450 MILLION hollow point bullets to the Department of Homeland Security over the next five years. Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly excessive? What in the world is the DHS going to do with 450 million rounds? What possible event would ever require that much ammunition? If the United States was ever invaded, it would be the job of the U.S. military to defend the country, so that can't be it. So what are all of those bullets for? Who does the Department of Homeland Security plan to be shooting at? According to the U.S. Census, there are only about 311 million people living in the entire country. So why does the Department of Homeland Security need 450 million rounds of ammunition? Either this is an incredible waste or there is something that the Department of Homeland Security is not telling us.
I could understand if the U.S. military was ordering ammunition in this quantity. When you fight wars you can go through ammunition very rapidly. But the Department of Homeland Security is only supposed to be shooting at people very rarely.
It simply does not make sense that they would need so much ammunition.
The following is an excerpt from the official press release about this deal between ATK and the Department of Homeland Security....
ATK announced that it is being awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS, ICE) for .40 caliber ammunition. This contract features a base of 12 months, includes four option years, and will have a maximum volume of 450 million rounds. ATK was the incumbent and won the contract with its HST bullet, which has proven itself in the field. The special hollow point effectively passes through a variety of barriers and holds its jacket in the toughest conditions. HST is engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration.
"We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE," said Ron Johnson, President of ATK's Security and Sporting group.
But this is not the only kind of ammo that the DHS is placing an order for. Business Insider is also reporting that the Department of Homeland Security is seeking to buy 175 million rifle ammunition rounds....
We've also learned that the Department has an open bid for a stockpile of rifle ammo. Listed on the federal business opportunities network, they're looking for up to 175 million rounds of .233 caliber ammo to be exact. The 223 is almost exactly the same round used by NATO forces, the 5.56 x 45mm.
This all comes at a time when gun sales are absolutely going through the roof in the United States.
Gun manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co. recently announced that it would be suspending new orders until May because it received orders for more than one million guns during the months of January and February.
The following announcement about this suspension of sales comes from their official website....
• The Company's Retailer Programs that were offered from January 1, 2012 through February 29, 2012 were very successful and generated significant orders from retailers to independent wholesale distributors for Ruger firearms.
• Year-to-date, the independent wholesale distributors placed orders with the Company for more than one million Ruger firearms.
• Despite the Company's continuing successful efforts to increase production rates, the incoming order rate exceeds our capacity to rapidly fulfill these orders. Consequently, the Company has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new orders.
• The Company expects to resume the normal acceptance of orders by the end of May 2012.
Since Barack Obama first took office, gun sales in America have risen to extraordinary levels. Overall, more than 10 million guns were sold in the United States during 2011. And gun sales have continued to rise at a brisk pace in 2012.
The following was recently posted on Yahoo News....
The NSSF said that 920,840 instant criminal background checks were made in January alone, a gain of 17.3% over the same month in 2011. This now makes it the 20th consecutive month of increases. While using the number of background checks is a good measurement of sales, it doesn't paint the whole picture as some checks are used for the purchases of multiple firearms. Also, some private transfers and sales from gun shows are exempt, making the actual number of guns sold higher.
According to Gallup, 41 percent of all Americans said that they owned a gun in 2010. But when that question was asked again in 2011, that number had risen to 47 percent.
Clearly, a lot of Americans are feeling the need to arm themselves. Unfortunately, they may find themselves short on ammunition for those guns considering how much ammo the government is buying up. So what is causing everyone to buy so many guns? Well, without a doubt we are likely to see a rise in crime as the U.S. economy continues to crumble. People want to be able to protect themselves and their families when everything falls apart. In fact, we are already starting to see some really violent home invasions in many parts of the nation. Many in the prepper movement are deeply concerned about the direction this country is headed and they want to be prepared for whatever happens.
Of course the rising gang problem in America is a major concern too. According to the FBI there are now 1.4 million gang members living in the United States, and that number has increased by 40 percent since 2009. Many urban communities have essentially been taken over by these gangs, and many of these gangs are definitely not shy about using violence. Average Americans that live in these communities want to be able to have a fighting chance against these gangs.
But that doesn't explain why the DHS needs so much ammunition. Yes, our world is becoming increasingly unstable, but under what conditions does the DHS ever anticipate firing off 450 million rounds?
Something does not add up. If anyone has a possible explanation for why the DHS would need 450 million rounds of ammunition, please post a comment and share your thoughts with us below....
Curator Editor's note from Delwyn Lounsbury, THE DEFLATION GURU:
It is my understanding that the use of hollow point bullets between countries are outlawed by the Geneva Convention. Thus, bullets for our armed forces (and other countries soldiers) in foreign lands are "full metal jacket." This means the projectile is fully coated with copper or brass and therefore penetrates on through. Hollow points or even soft (lead) tipped bullets expand greatly upon impact with a mushroom killing effect which is deemed humane when used for the legal taking of game or predator animals. Is the fascist Nazi totalitarian Department of Homeland Security conspiracy arming themselves with purposeful killing and maiming ammo against its citizens? Does the "Big Brother" Homeland Security conspiracy not want you to suffer - just die? Or is the United States police state Homeland Security conspiracy arming itself against Canadians and Mexicans?
The Homeland Security conspiracy is Tyranny!

Homeland Security app: 'See something, send something'
By: Randy Ludlow
The Columbus Dispatch - April 11, 2014 2:04
Ohio Homeland Security officials are asking smartphone users to "see something, send something" with the release of an app to forward reports and photos of suspicious activity.
The "A Safer Ohio" app for both Apple and Android devices is being released shortly before the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15.
The app now available for free online allows Ohioans to relay both tips and photos of questionable activity to Homeland Security analysts for examination and potential investigation. Here's a YouTube video on how the app works.
Officials hope Ohioans might use "Safer Ohio" to point out anything suspicious they spot at spring and summer events that attract large crowds.
"The public's reporting of suspicious activity is one of our best defenses against terrorist threats …," Ohio Department of Public Safety Director John Born said in a statement.
The app uses privacy-protection software that permits users to remain anonymous and does not track a smartphone user's location or record other personal information. However, security analysts still would be able to contact anyone reporting suspicious activity.
The application includes a 911 button for emergency calls, a program for summoning a state trooper to non-emergencies and traffic updates from the Ohio Department of Transportation.

New studies: 'Conspiracy theorists' sane; government dupes crazy, hostile July 12, 2013
Source: Phantom Report
Recent studies by psychologists and social scientists in the US and UK suggest that contrary to mainstream media stereotypes, those labeled "conspiracy theorists" appear to be saner than those who accept the official versions of contested events.
The most recent study was published on July 8th by psychologists Michael J. Wood and Karen M. Douglas of the University of Kent (UK). Entitled "What about Building 7? A social psychological study of online discussion of 9/11 conspiracy theories," the study compared "conspiracist" (pro-conspiracy theory) and "conventionalist" (anti-conspiracy) comments at news websites.
The authors were surprised to discover that it is now more conventional to leave so-called conspiracist comments than conventionalist ones: "Of the 2174 comments collected, 1459 were coded as conspiracist and 715 as conventionalist." In other words, among people who comment on news articles, those who disbelieve government accounts of such events as 9/11 and the JFK assassination outnumber believers by more than two to one. That means it is the pro-conspiracy commentators who are expressing what is now the conventional wisdom, while the anti-conspiracy commentators are becoming a small, beleaguered minority.
Perhaps because their supposedly mainstream views no longer represent the majority, the anti-conspiracy commentators often displayed anger and hostility: "The research… showed that people who favored the official account of 9/11 were generally more hostile when trying to persuade their rivals."
Additionally, it turned out that the anti-conspiracy people were not only hostile, but fanatically attached to their own conspiracy theories as well. According to them, their own theory of 9/11 – a conspiracy theory holding that 19 Arabs, none of whom could fly planes with any proficiency, pulled off the crime of the century under the direction of a guy on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan – was indisputably true. The so-called conspiracists, on the other hand, did not pretend to have a theory that completely explained the events of 9/11: "For people who think 9/11 was a government conspiracy, the focus is not on promoting a specific rival theory, but in trying to debunk the official account."
In short, the new study by Wood and Douglas suggests that the negative stereotype of the conspiracy theorist – a hostile fanatic wedded to the truth of his own fringe theory – accurately describes the people who defend the official account of 9/11, not those who dispute it.
Additionally, the study found that so-called conspirators discuss historical context (such as viewing the JFK assassination as a precedent for 9/11) more than anti-conspiracists. It also found that the so-called conspirators to not like to be called "conspiracists" or "conspiracy theorists."
Both of these findings are amplified in the new book Conspiracy Theory in America by political scientist Lance deHaven-Smith, published earlier this year by the University of Texas Press. Professor deHaven-Smith explains why people don't like being called "conspiracy theorists": The term was invented and put into wide circulation by the CIA to smear and defame people questioning the JFK assassination! "The CIA's campaign to popularize the term 'conspiracy theory' and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited, unfortunately, with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time."
In other words, people who use the terms "conspiracy theory" and "conspiracy theorist" as an insult are doing so as the result of a well-documented, undisputed, historically-real conspiracy by the CIA to cover up the JFK assassination. That campaign, by the way, was completely illegal, and the CIA officers involved were criminals; the CIA is barred from all domestic activities, yet routinely breaks the law to conduct domestic operations ranging from propaganda to assassinations.
DeHaven-Smith also explains why those who doubt official explanations of high crimes are eager to discuss historical context. He points out that a very large number of conspiracy claims have turned out to be true, and that there appear to be strong relationships between many as-yet-unsolved "state crimes against democracy." An obvious example is the link between the JFK and RFK assassinations, which both paved the way for presidencies that continued the Vietnam War. According to DeHaven-Smith, we should always discuss the "Kennedy assassinations" in the plural, because the two killings appear to have been aspects of the same larger crime.
Psychologist Laurie Manwell of the University of Guelph agrees that the CIA-designed "conspiracy theory" label impedes cognitive function. She points out, in an article published in American Behavioral Scientist (2010), that anti-conspiracy people are unable to think clearly about such apparent state crimes against democracy as 9/11 due to their inability to process information that conflicts with pre-existing belief.
In the same issue of ABS, University of Buffalo professor Steven Hoffman adds that anti-conspiracy people are typically prey to strong "confirmation bias" – that is, they seek out information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs, while using irrational mechanisms (such as the "conspiracy theory" label) to avoid conflicting information.
The extreme irrationality of those who attack "conspiracy theories" has been ably exposed by Communications professors Ginna Husting and Martin Orr of Boise State University. In a 2007 peer-reviewed article entitled"Dangerous Machinery: 'Conspiracy Theorist' as a Transpersonal Strategy of Exclusion," they wrote:
"If I call you a conspiracy theorist, it matters little whether you have actually claimed that a conspiracy exists or whether you have simply raised an issue that I would rather avoid… By labeling you, I strategically exclude you from the sphere where public speech, debate, and conflict occur."
But now, thanks to the internet, people who doubt official stories are no longer excluded from public conversation; the CIA's 44-year-old campaign to stifle debate using the "conspiracy theory" smear is nearly worn-out. In academic studies, as in comments on news articles, pro-conspiracy voices are now more numerous – and more rational – than anti-conspiracy ones.
No wonder the anti-conspiracy people are sounding more and more like a bunch of hostile, paranoid cranks.
Editor's note: Delwyn Lounsbury - The Deflation Guru - Internet Reformation Revolution reporting on Homeland Security Conspiracy
Editor's Note: You can read the text version of this story below the video.
On January 21, one of the biggest financial lawsuits in recent history came to a costly end. The accused, ratings behemoth Standard & Poor's, agreed to a $1.4 billion settlement for "inflating credit ratings on toxic assets," thus accelerating and exacerbating the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.
Settlement aside, there is a far bigger issue here than business ethics or conflicts of interests, which is not likely to get a hearing in the court of mainstream finance.
Which is: The professionals who are supposed to assess investment risks are no better at it than you or I.
Case in point: Think back to November 30, 2001. The world's largest seller of natural gas and electricity has gone from cash cow to dry bone. Its share price had plummeted 99%, from $90 to just under $1. YET-- the company continued to enjoy an "INVESTMENT GRADE" rating.
The company's name: Enron. Four days later, it filed for the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Enron seems like a distant memory, but what about the subprime mortgage debacle? Moody's rating service slashed the ratings of 131 subprime bonds due to higher than expected defaults, in July 2007 -- two years after the market for non-traditional mortgages had already turned.
Spot a trend here? The "experts" failure to anticipate huge trend changes in companies, and in the overall economy. In the first edition of his business best-seller Conquer the Crash, EWI president Bob Prechter wrote:
"The most widely utilized ratings services are almost always woefully late in warning of problems within financial institutions. They often seem to get news about a company around the time everyone else does... In several cases, a company can collapse before the standard ratings services know what hit it."
So here's the question: What are the experts not seeing now that you and I need to prepare for?
What about gold? In 2012, with prices nearly reclaiming all-time high territory, the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing campaign was supposed to keep the wind at gold's back.
"Ben Bernanke has just offered gold investors a... gilded invitation to participate in the greatest secular bull market of our time." (April 14, 2012, Motley Fool)
Then this happened:
The same goes for the 2008 peaks in oil and commodities -- two more "safe-havens" that were supposed to benefit from the Fed's money-printing campaign, but instead prices fell to lows not seen since the 2007 financial crisis.
So, that leaves the remaining outlier -- equities, which have climbed to record highs. And, according to the experts, the path of least resistance remains up. A December 14, 2014 article in the New York Times:
"We don't see a lot on the horizon that could derail the U.S stock market in particular."
Our January 2015 Elliott Wave Theorist urges caution with this single chart of the S&P 500's year-end valuations since 1927. Every major peak of the last 90 years landed well outside the normal range: 1929, 1987, 2000, and 2007.
We believe the precarious placement of 2014 sends a similar message: "The stock market and the economy are not in a new multi-decade recovery as economists believe, but very late in a transition phase from boom to bust."

Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Facts
How and Why to File a FOIA Request
President Abraham Lincoln spoke of preserving the United States in the Gettysburg Address when he said that a "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." What this means is that the government of the United States was created with the consent of its citizens and its purpose is to serve those citizens. Therefore it is of utmost importance to remember this in order to preserve the country's integrity, because without the ability to challenge the government to some extent, the country could easily fall to tyranny. This is one justification for the existence of the Freedom of Information Act.There are a number of exceptions to what people can request through the Freedom of Information Act, also known as FOIA. These exceptions are mainly related to the personal safety and privacy of individuals in the government. For the purpose of this article we will be primarily concerned with instances where you are allowed to request information.There are many different reasons that may inspire you to file a FOIA request. Say, for instance, you are curious as to what projects the Department of Energy are working on regarding alternative energy. Or, perhaps, you are interested in an investigation that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is conducting. You might also be able to look up certain files regarding public figures if a government agency happens to have files on them. However, these files may be available online or through some other route, in which case you should use that path instead of FOIA. FOIA should only be used if there is no other way to obtain your desired information.If you cannot find the files that you want online you will have to file a request under the FOIA. The American Civil Liberties Union has some useful tips for when you file under the Freedom of Information Act. Following these tips closely will greatly increase your likelihood of success and decrease your wait time.You should first decide which agency can best address your request. If you submit the request to the wrong agency they can simply reject it for not being any of their concern. This will inconvenience you and delay your request. There are many different resources for finding out which government agency is the most appropriate for you particular need. When you have found the appropriate agency you will want to get their address, but it is likely that the agency will have its own department or address dedicated to taking FOIA requests. You will want to send your request to this office, not the main office. Call the agency to make sure the address is correct.
When you file your request you want to be incredibly specific. If you ask for multiple things in the same request and the agency rejects just one of them they might reject the entire request along with your other, valid, questions. You can speed up the request process if you let the agency know how you would like the information released to you (electronically, or in print; by year or by location; et cetera).Being very precise in your request is very important and will likely give the agency more motivation to speed your request through the process. If you happen to ask for every shred of marginalia regarding a particular topic, well, you would have given them a reason to take their time with your request.
The bottom line is to be specific, if possible, provide them with a compelling reason for why you want the information, and prepare for a nominal wait time.You will need to submit some information with your request that is rather personal, but it serves two very important purposes. The first of which is that the agency must be able to find you and either clarify your request or send you the completed request package. The second is to ensure that you are allowed to get the material you are requesting. The original language of the FOIA says that an agency does not need to give out any information if it somehow endangers national security. So you will have to show these things:
-You are not a threat to national security by submitting your name, date and place of birth,
-Your Social Security number,
-All of the addresses where you have lived and the places that you have travelled outside of the United States.
Generally as a citizen of the United States you are entitled to request a large variety of information and you shouldn't have any serious problems.If you are interested in speeding up the FOIA request process there are some instances where you can request what is called expedited processing:
-If you are a member of the media who needs the requested information because it is time sensitive or has to do with something incredibly important and is in the public's interest you can have your request expedited.
The process can also be quickened if someone's life or safety would be put in danger if the information is delayed.
-Information that could affect the fairness of a trial (due process) or other legal proceedings can also be expedited according to the FOIA.Every agency will have a different set of fees for the different FOIA services that they offer and it is probably a good idea to ask what it is beforehand to reduce shock when you receive your final bill. Once again, this is why it is a very good idea to be specific so that you know what you are paying for as well.With these helpful hints you can get started on the road to filing your FOIA request. Executive agencies are all rather different from each other, so there is no uniform experience to expect. You will probably get the best results from reading a specific agency's guidelines to requesting information on their FOIA page.
The American Civil Liberties Union has a helpful guide for filing requests: http://www.whatisfoia.org/request01.htmlThe United States Government Manual can help you find the right agency for your request: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GOVMAN-2012-12-07/pdf/GOVMAN-2012-12-07.pdfThe Federal Bureau of Investigation's FOIA page: http://www.fbi.gov/foia/The actual text off the Freedom of Information Act Amended in 1997: http://www.justice.gov/oip/foia_updates/Vol_XVII_4/page2.htmThe actual text of the Freedom of Information Act amended in 2007: http://www.justice.gov/oip/amended-foia-redlined.pdfThe Department of State's FOIA page: http://www.state.gov/m/a/ips/The Federal Communications Commission's FOIA page: http://www.fcc.gov/foiaThe National Archives FOIA page: http://www.archives.gov/foia/The President of the United States of America's FOIA page: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/FreedomofInformationActThe Environmental Protection Agency's FOIA page: http://www.epa.gov/foia/Health and Human Services FOIA page: http://www.hhs.gov/foia/The Social Security Administration's FOIA page: http://www.ssa.gov/foia/The Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) FOIA page: http://www.foia.cia.gov/The Department of Veterans Affairs FOIA page: http://www.foia.va.gov/The National Institutes of Health's FOIA page: http://www.nih.gov/icd/od/foia/index.htmThe National Aerospace Administration's FOIA page: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/FOIA/The USDA Forest Service's FOIA page: http://www.fs.fed.us/im/foia/The National Institute of Standards and Technology's FOIA page: http://www.nist.gov/director/foia/index.cfmThe Department of Labor's FOIA page: http://www.dol.gov/dol/foia/The United States Treasury's FOIA page: http://www.treasury.gov/FOIA/Pages/index.aspxThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's FOIA page: http://www.noaa.gov/foia/LexisNexis is a useful resource often used by actual lawyers and law students.

Gold and silver have been all over the financial news.
On Thursday, June 20, silver fell below $20 (-60% from 2011 high), and gold fell below $1300 (-30% from 2011 high).
We first published the chart below after metals plunged in mid-April. It shows EWI's forecasts not only leading up to those big moves ... but during the past three years of opportunity.
Three years of volatile price action in these two markets is plain to see. And the forecasts speak for themselves.
Overwhelmingly, most metals experts favored the other side of the gold and silver trend for the past three years - and they still do today. Meanwhile, EWI subscribers were prepared ahead of time for nearly every important turn.
Now, some periods are more vexing than others. But currently we are in a period where the wave patterns are particularly clear.
Metals prices may bounce higher near-term - like we warned they would do after the April 16-18 lows - but the quotes on the chart clearly show how countertrends are the source of opportunity. And that is the great strength of pattern analysis via the Elliott wave method, along with tools like sentiment, momentum and price.

Above Obama Press Release Image Courtesy www.Breitbart.com
Note* Barack Hussein Obama never wrote the book advertised here in a 1991 publishers promotional pamphlet put out by his literary agency, Acton & Dystel, of a coming Obama book for sale, "Images in Black and White."
Instead, Obama wrote (some say communist Bill Ayers actually wrote) "Dreams from My Father" an autobiography with a socialist slant depicting his communist father as an anticolonialist blaming the west for all the world's ills.
That is where lawless Obama's rogue renegade radical leftist transforming change ideas came from. Obama's upbringing came from communist family members (father and both grandparents on his mothers side), socialist mother and friends. In fact, Obama's mentor and tutor. Frank Marshal Davis, was on the FBI communist watch list - member of Communist Party USA (CPUSA) card number 47544. Then came Marxist groups in college and finally socialist groups like the New Party in Chicago where he was a community organizer (communizer).
See actual brochure from his publicist stating Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, Africa - above.
His "Hope and Change" campaign slogan has morphed into WE HOPE HE CHANGES. Narcissist Obama showed himself to be an ideologue and a fascist dictator puppet and mole for the criminal Anglo American financial power elite international central banking families. This criminal cabal run by the Zioniist Rothschild and Rockefeller family cabal cartel control all the central (sovereign) banks of the world and wants one world government/new world order aka new underworld order control goal of global socialist fascist dictatorship at any cost or means.
Deflation in the Greater Depression, which actually began with the year 2000 dot com bust, along with the plight of most American citizens worsened under his statist agenda. Obama's legacy will be trillions of wasted stimulus spending, grotesque government growth and over 1,000 dictatorial executive orders - many unconstitutional - most illegal - all socialist and/or communist.
Working for his elite Rothschild handlers, Obama has led us to the brink of economic collapse and planned coup by Zionist bankster oligarchs who already control both political parties in America..
A phony Iran, Syrian and Ukrainian war leading to a phony World War Three threatening the very survival of mankind is next if we don't stop the insanity. Watch out for false flag nuclear explosions in the Ukraine and Iran.
The American, NATO and Israel elite scheme is to get the people so confused and demoralized that they can abscond with the last of the world's middle classes power, freedom and money in the coming Greatest Depression.
The BANKSTER elite want a fascist socialist one world government dictatorship.
It's all about control of you and I. Pure Tyranny!
By JFK - 1961
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings.
We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions.
Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.
That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control.
And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."
"No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary.
I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.
I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers-- I welcome it.
This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed-- and no republic can survive.
That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.
And that is why our press was protected by the First (emphasized) Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution-- not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news-- for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security...
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will
be what he was born to be: free and independent."
By John F. Kennedy 1961

In 2006, Be a Santa to a Senior volunteers visited a local nursing facility and distributed gifts to a number of residents, including one 87-year-old woman whom we'll call Mary. She was pleased to receive her gift and thanked us profusely, but it wasn't until we returned to give Mary another gift in 2007 that we recognized the true value of Be a Santa to a Senior.
When we entered Mary's room for our second visit, we noticed that the only card on her bulletin board was the Be a Santa to a Senior card from the previous year. As we spoke with her caregivers we found out that our Christmas card and gift were the only items she had received throughout the year. Mary re-read the card regularly to help keep that memory alive.
Each year Home Instead Senior Care® offices throughout North America spread holiday cheer to lonely or financially-challenged seniors through the Be a Santa to a Senior program. The program has attracted upwards of 60,000 volunteers over the past six years distributing gifts to deserving seniors. Since introducing the Be a Santa to a Senior program, Home Instead Senior Care has helped provide 1.2 million gifts to more than 700,000 seniors.
Home Instead Senior Care partners with local non-profit and community organizations to identify seniors who might not otherwise receive gifts this holiday season. The company then works with local businesses and retail stores to help facilitate the purchase and distribution of gifts by placing trees and ornaments within their various locations. Each senior's gift requests are written on a Be a Santa to a Senior tree ornament.
Home Instead Senior Care franchise offices partner with local senior care facilities, non-profit organizations and other community groups to identify seniors who might not otherwise receive a special gift or visit this holiday season. Then, partnering retail locations and local businesses will display trees decorated with gift tags featuring the seniors' name and gift requests. Shoppers and patrons can select a tag, purchase the requested items, and return them to the store.
After the collection of gift donations, Home Instead Senior Care franchise offices enlist the help of community volunteers to wrap and distribute the gifts.
Start by visiting www.beasantatoasenior.com and enter your zip code to find a Be a Santa to a Senior program near you. Then contact the Home Instead Senior Care office coordinating the program and ask how you can help! Here are a few ways you and your organization might be able to participate:

Thank you for your interest in the Profit in Plain Sight Program.
Although the offer you clicked on has expired,
you may still purchase the program
How will this Limited-Time Offer boost your bottom line safely and sustainably…
in about the same amount of time you're spending on email now?
Take the 91 Day Challenge and Find Out
Welcome, I'm glad you're here!
The fact that you've chosen to check out this page tells me that you want to find the Profit in Plain Sight that's buried in your business. When you participated in the Profitability Seminar, you saw where you have challenges… and more importantly, where you have opportunities.
One attendee who really grabbed the bit in her teeth achieved a 95% increase in her bottom line in less than one year. Others have reported increases of 10-50% almost immediately, although they've only touched the tip of the iceberg.
What actions have YOU taken since the Seminar?
• Did you get distracted by other priorities?
• Are you a bit overwhelmed, not certain how or where to get started?
• Are you time-starved and too busy?
• Are you committed to improving your bottom line but needing a gentle push to do it now rather than "sometime"?
If you answered Yes to any of the above questions, you're in the right place for me to help you achieve real bottom line impact… in about the same amount of time you're spending on email now.
What's more important to your business – managing email or managing profitability?
You may be spending as little as 15 minutes a day on email (although most execs report its more like 2 hours). Imagine just what focusing 75 minutes a week (or more) on Profitability could do for your business. I'm not saying you have to choose. I'm just saying… its doable.
Now, imagine yourself with a small in-house team of some of your high performers, ALL focusing that manageable, doable time on implementing a clear plan of action to increase your bottom line.
Would you start to see some shifts and progress pretty quickly? You better believe it!
I recommend you get started with "The 5Rs of Managing Customer Profitability": Retain, Restore, Ramp Up, Regain and Reactivate
Although there are over 60 Profitability Accelerators in the full Profit in Plain Sight System, you don't have to tackle them all to see substantial impact. Just focusing on these five has been proven to generate profit increases of 135% to a 205% in a relatively short period of time (how quickly you see results depends on your level of effort and sales cycle, of course).
How to Eat the Elephant one Bite at a Time
You'll achieve your profit goals using bite-sized online learning modules to implement practical "hows", not pie-in-the-sky "shoulds" . Detailed instructions help you and your team eat the elephant one bite at a time, on whatever timeline works with your existing commitments… although of course I'll have some recommendations on the best way to get results more quickly! | |
You and your team receive unlimited online access to me – I'll be there every step of the way to help keep you on track, answer questions, and get you unstuck if you bog down. | |
And of course, the program comes with a no-risk -iron-clad satisfaction guarantee. |
Need details? Here's how the 5Rs deliver bottom line results:
- Retain your most profitable customers by getting inside their heads, knowing exactly where you stand, and more importantly, identifying opportunities to better serve their needs in ways that are hard for your competition to copy. Would you sleep a bit better knowing who's loyal, and who's about to jump ship… before they ever leave?
- Restore your unprofitable customers to breakeven or exit them gracefully. These "vampire" customers suck the lifeblood right out of your business. Use the tools I'll give you to determine who's actually worth keeping… who's not… what its going to take to stop the bleeding… and how to make it happen. This process is easier than you think when its tackled the right way. However, I'll give you several approaches to exit the true vampires gracefully when all else fails.
- Ramp up your marginally profitable customers to make a big difference to your bottom line. This is your equivalent of the "do you want fries with that" strategy… you don't have to go crazy developing new products or services, you just need to understand exactly how to serve them better by helping them do more business – profitable business – with you.
- Regain your lost customers and hit a home run. You have about twice as much chance of bringing a lost customer back as of closing new business – why not start with the low hanging fruit? Regaining customers offers two other benefits: crucial insight into retaining customers longer, and improving close ratios for new sales. Are your bases loaded?
- Reactivate your "sleeping but not dead" customers and have some fun while you're doing it. We all have customers who've gone quiet – we don't know if they're dead or just sleeping, but we sure know we're not doing the business we used to… and yet we're probably still spending good money to market to them. There are some great little reactivation techniques that I think you and your team will enjoy.
What's the investment?
- Time: You need to be able to commit at least 75 minutes per week on a fairly regular basis to build momentum and make it happen. If that's not a commitment you can make, you'll have to resign yourself to "profits as usual".
To make that decision, ask yourself: can I really justify the time I spend on email yet not make the time to capture my Profit in Plain Sight opportunities?
- Money: The Managing Customer Profitability Phase is $7500. Now, if you don't think you'll see a 10x or even 100x return as a result of implementing each of the five strategies outlined above, I would encourage you not to move forward.
To make that decision, ask yourself: will Retaining just one customer for longer deliver at least $1000 back to our bottom line? Will we get at least $1000 as a result of Ramping up customers to do more business with us? Can we realize $1000 just by stopping the bleeding on unprofitable customers? Would bringing back even just one lost customer put $1000 on our bottom line? Could we boost sales and/or cut marketing expenses and see $1000 on the bottom line by reactivating our sleeping customers?
Your ROI will be determined by how broadly you implement throughout your customer base, and that's up to you, based on what you and your team can commit to. You have access to the Managing Customer Profitability Modules as long as you need them, with no further investment required.
May is Excellence in Execution Month – decide to execute now, and I've got a special bonus for you.
If you've attended one of my seminars, you know that I don't like discounts just for the sake of discounts. But I'm happy to provide a strategic incentive for you to get started on this now because I know we're all well-intentioned but busy. Yet the calendar year is almost half over!!
If not now, when? This offer won't be repeated this year, and this page will come down at the end of May.
Act now, and I will bonus you the two foundational modules that are essential to the entire Profit in Plain Sight System.
All it takes to get started is your decision to commit about the same amount of time to proactively managing Customer Profitability that you do on email each week.
I'll look forward to helping you achieve your goals, every step of the way!
To Your Success,

bought this about a month ago and have been using it religiously since then...great sunscreen, doesn't irritate my sometimes sensitve combo-skin, and makeup will go on great over it- no pilling, etc.
it's slightly moisturizing so i don't wear anything over it- sometimes the B5 gel. the only thing keeping it from 5 lippies is that you do get a slight shine from it- but i just pat translucent powder on top and it's good to go.
I've used this on and off for years and it's great for daily use under makeup. However, I recently tried Blue Lizard's Face and it is excellent- it has more zinc oxide(8% compared to 5%)and is just as light and non-greasy at 1/3 of the price. It has a lighter, whipped consistency compared to the Blue Lizard Sensitive Skin and blends more easily. I will continue to use the Sensitive for when I'll be outside for long periods of time but this one is great for daily use.

I love this sunblock! I have been using the SPF 20, and it's a great moisturizer as well. I apply it over a firming serum, and it's great under makeup. It doesn't peel or gunk up when I apply concealer or my minerals foundation. The only thing to be aware of is that if your face is already sunburned, WAIT TO USE THIS PRODUCT!!! If you apply this on top of sunburn, it will burn badly. That's why I gave it four lippies. Otherwise, it's a wonderful product and I will definitely buy this again and again.

I'm on my 3rd tube of the SPF 20. This is the only sunscreen that I've used that doesn't break me out. I put this on after I wash my face in the morning and I have no need to use a separate moisturizer. I really love this product.
I bought a sample package on Ebay and was very disappointed. This sunscreen gave my face a white cast that made me look like a zombie. Great for Halloween, though. Too bad, because I really wanted to start using a non-chemical sunscreen.
This is one of the only sunblocks I have found that truly does not make me break out... and I have tried a TON of them. (Usually I can literally see the pores clogging.) I actually didn't wear sunblock for a long time b/c it just wasn't worth the breakouts.
I've been using the Daily Defense for about 3 years now, and I could swear they changed something about the formula about six months ago, b/c it seems like a slightly different consistency/more white than it used to. Still didn't make me break out, but it was kind of annoying getting makeup to go on well over it, unless I waited a good 20 minutes or so, which never used to be a problem. HOWEVER, based on MUA reviews, I just started mixing the Dr. Hauschka Transluscent Bronze Concentrate with it, and that has totally solved the problem - no more white, makeup goes on great, skin looks a little glowy, and my face is now a closer match in color to the rest of my body. :-) Its only been a week with the bronze added in, but still no breakouts.
Take my mother's advice and start wearing sunblock every day NOW, it will definitely pay off... she is 57 and looks at least 10 years younger, b/c she has almost no wrinkles! (Its kinda freaky actually.)
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the best sunscreen for the face! I use it instead of a moisturizer since my skin is a little oily. I have tried a lot of other sunscreens/moisturizers and haven't found one that I really like until this one. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm now 30 and my skin has finally calmed down with the oiliness so this doesn't seem as greasy.
I wait 10 minutes after I apply toner to apply this so that it sinks in better, then I wait another 10 minutes until I apply foundation and/or powder over it. I love that it's SPF 20 because 15 is a little too low and 30 would be too high.
It's a little expensive but the tube is pretty big and seems like it will last awhile.
I wanted to love this sunscreen but it simply is too heavy and sticky for my combo/oily skin. Even though it is touted as being 'oil free' it wears very heavy unless you put an unbelievably small amount on your skin - not enough to provide adequate UV protection. I would not recommend this for anyone with combo or oily prone skin - only for those with truly dry skin.
This is an expensive sunscreen, but you do get your money's worth. As much as I love the physical sunscreen agent, however, the lotion is too thick for my skin type (combo/oily) and despite putting on a super thin layer I still get a greasy shiny after feel hours later. I'm sticking to proactiv oil free moisturizer spf 15 (same sunscreen ingredient, but it has an oil-absorbing property (which I love, for my skin stays shine-free all day)).

Works exactly as advertised. I like the slower rpm's than some of the other models. I have always had really good luck with dewalt products. My tools get used hard year after year and are still reliable and going strong. This one is no exception. Also I have bought a few other reconditioned tools from dewalt and had no problems.

I have used 6 different units like this. I must say I really like this unit better then the others. I have used it for dry wall with great results and turned around and built a coal bin with 6" lag bolts and it didnt slow down at all. Great torque, yet easy on fine finishes, each screw hits the mark with complete accuracy. Dewalt did good with this one.
