01-28-2014, 07:53 AMEditing a commentYeah, jblake, this is one reason we promote Rent-a-Scout over most of the typical fundraisers. The troop doesn't get involved except for the cachet of "yes, he is a Scout, and is trying to earn money to have his own Jet-Ski at summer camp (Ha-ha). Legally, each Scout is a self-employed businessperson. Each chips in about 10% of earnings to a disabled, homestay parent who is willing to act as dispatcher
The troop's main involvement is to urge, strongly urge, merit badges in first-aid, personal management (hooray!), and all the home repair ones. We also urge taking the baby-sitting course at the Y when offered. Most work in pairs until the client is determined safe. Each rarely earns more than the individual tax exemption
02-01-2014, 03:58 AMEditing a commentRent-a-scout ... Interesting idea. I like it. I'd want to keep the troop out of handling the money, but otherwise a very good idea.
My only fear is the scout who does plenty of work, but keeps the cash for other things.
Still like the idea though.
What I find frustrating is that IRS issues vague letters, with words like substantially in there. It would be nice if the BSA would draft a CAREFUL letter to the IRS governing what is substantial. Often the IRS picks thresholds like 50%.
It's possible that a request that would permit 40% of the money in the Scout Account, to be used towards that individual's participation in Scouting, and 60% in the Scout Unit general fund for the mission, would fly.
Substantially, the money goes to the unit. The 40% isn't an excess benefit, because it's limited to Scouting.
Somewhere in 8 figures of salary, someone can think to call a tax lawyer, instead of depending on volunteers at their local Church/Synagogue to do the heavy lifting.
Pack18Alex commented01-31-2014, 02:58 PMEditing a commentAn IRS phone rep just gives you an answer, not always a right answer, and they take no responsibility for it.
An IRS letter ruling is a different beast, and has some degree of validity.
You don't want 5 people calling the IRS, you want a Tax Lawyer drafting a careful and specific letter that gets them the answer they want, that people can rely on.
02-01-2014, 03:55 AMEditing a comment"somewhere in 8 figures of salary, someone can think to call a tax lawyer ..." ... I think BSA did that and thus the no scout account statements.
Pack18Alex commented02-04-2014, 08:38 PMEditing a commentFred, I disagree, it was a letter about a specific Unit with 100% going to Scout Accounts with no controls.
I think BSA would like to ditch Scout Accounts and have everything go to fund Unit programming under the belief that this will strengthen unit finances and free them up to charge Council Dues on top of National Dues. Scout Accounts make this harder.
I mean, banning Scout Accounts is extreme, while it's possible that a restricted form could be okay.
Look at some of the 501(c)4 nonsense… Cannot be primarily "political" defined as endorsing/supporting candidates has been ruled as permitting 49% "political" and 51% "issue advocacy."
Primarily and substantially have meaning, they don't mean any.
Why can't we simply continue with our program as it works and quit "looking" for problems. It unlikely this is really an issue with most units. It gets tiresome to see the continual bantering about what "might" be done wrong, or "might" go wrong, or "what" someone else is doing that someone thinks is wrong. Just run your program honestly and the best you can. If something unusual comes up, worry about it "then"!
02-01-2014, 03:53 AMEditing a comment... do my duty to God and my country
02-01-2014, 12:23 PMEditing a commentProbably because "head 'em off at the pass" gives better results than "try and pick up the pieces" afterwards. Also fewer ruined reputations of those caught out. Successful businesses do this; it's called scenario planning
So my question is, have any units lost Tax-Exempt status because of ISA? Or is this the ant hill that just became a mountain? I know units that have (and still do) ISA and haven't heard boo from the local Council, IH, IRS, or any other acronym...
02-05-2014, 01:25 AMEditing a commentYeah, lots of units have ISAs. I have not heard of a scout unit fined.
But other groups have been affected. here's the one that I originally learned from. The booster clubs agreed to pay the fine because the IRS threatened to go after the parents for not reporting earned income. So instead, the 501c agreed that they screwed up and thus paid the fine. One of the fines was $60,000, larger than the annual budget of the booster club.
Our troop sells so little it's really not a big issue. Our pack ... maybe. But I know of a pack and a troop in our town that each sell $30,000+ in popcorn and similar in wreaths. Big scouting units. If I remember right, they have ISAs.
Though not a scout unit, a local football fundraiser was turned in (I think to the IRS) by local businesses because they were competing with a core facet of several of those businesses and not paying sales tax, no licenses and not having any structural overhead. The football team's actions were costing the business tens of thousands a year in sales and were not competing on equal footing.Last edited by fred johnson; 02-05-2014, 01:30 AM.
Generally VigilEagle is right. The risk is extremely low. Odds are the IRS won't pursue it because the groups are too small.
But that makes it an all the more interesting. It's a classic moral dilemma. An ethics challenge. Do you do follow the rules even though no one is looking? If you don't agree with the rules, do you work to change the rules while being compliant or do you just ignore and break the rules? Do you approach the decision with odds are no one will get hurt or that we do the right thing? Is it okay because we don't like the IRS rules. heck, no one likes the IRS to begin with.
It's interesting because we claim to help scouts do the right thing and to be good citizens.
I'm not perfect on this point either. I'd rather see it different. But it's what it is. So what do we do about it. How do we make our decisions?
RememberSchiff commented02-05-2014, 08:40 AMEditing a commentIn this IRS matter, if the unit does not follow the rules, they are not at risk. The legal risk is borne unknowingly by the Charter Organization and then later by the parents of those scouts with SA's. Blindsided.Last edited by RememberSchiff; 02-05-2014, 09:00 AM.

I found the following posted on Rainbow Council's website (IL). I have not seen anything similar anywhere else.
FAQ's - Individual Scout Accounts and Fundraising by BSA Units
Below are frequently asked questions provided by BSA Legal Counsel regarding Individual Scout Accounts and the applicable IRS fundraising policies for non-profit organizations.Are individual Scout accounts permitted?
Yes. These accounts are permitted when funded by the youth member through savings, a
portion of a weekly allowance, and chores around the home and neighborhood. The youth
member's family may contribute, but no charitable deduction is allowed.
What is private benefit, and why is it not allowed?
Private benefit is when funds raised in the name of Scouting or another charity are directly
allocated to the youth member or family doing the fundraising. Funds raised in the name of
Scouting should benefit the entire unit. The tax laws do not permit private benefit, with the
exception of an "insubstantial" benefit.
How is an "insubstantial" benefit defined?
The IRS has classified 30 percent of the money raised as "substantial," and less than 2 percent
as "insubstantial." The burden of proof that the benefit is "insubstantial" is on the organization.
Are incentives allowed for participation in fundraising or sales?
The IRS has not ruled on this matter, but the "insubstantial" benefit restriction would apply.
Can Scouting units use funds to assist youth members who have a financial need?
The unit can allocate funds based on financial need, and may consider factors such as
participation in the unit, advancement, and Scout spirit.
Are there penalties for private benefit or other tax issues?
Private benefit may result in the loss of tax-exempt status for the chartering organization, or the
local council. Allocating funds raised in the name of Scouting directly to a youth member could
result in self-employment tax liability.
Well written. Sounds accurate to the IRS documents I've read.
This was source material for our topic at roundtable last night. Some conclusions: Paying for camp, uniforms, equipment, etc ... Was not a private benefit. Compare that with how we provide our communities with trained citizens prepared to serve, and you get the idea. If a boy fundraises enough to go to Jambo, Is that a benefit to the troop? It is a benefit to his Jambo contingent. Finally, if a boy leaves scouting the $ raised do not go with him.
One nice thing about Camp Cards is that 100% of the money goes to Scouting (in our Council, 50% Unit, 50% Council).
If a Unit puts half the money is an ISA and half in general treasury, that's only 25% for an individual benefit, which seems to be below the threshold ruled substantial. We generally keep the private benefit part to under 20%.
Patrol Accounts would let the Scout get closer to private benefit without it being actually private.
Can Scouting units use funds to assist youth members who have a financial need?
The unit can allocate funds based on financial need, and may consider factors such as
participation in the unit, advancement, and Scout spirit.
Pack18Alex ... IRS said 30% is substantial and 2% is insubstantial. 20% and 25% is in the grey area. Do as you will given that I've never heard of a troop audited by the IRS.
Qwazse ... "If a boy fund-raises enough to go to Jambo, ..." is explicitly private benefit. When a scout fundraisers money in the name of the troop, then the funds belong to the troop. So if "the troop" raises enough to send someone to Jambo, the criteria for picking the scout needs to be based on troop benefits or need or something aligned with the non-profit goals. If the criteria is "who raised the money", that is explicitly private benefit.
As a 3rd party and given that Jambo costs $2000 to $2500, I'd really question whether that is the best way to spend a very large part of the troop's funds.
Fred, ask your self this:
Is a troop better if boys come back from Jambo with stories and ideas and a ton of patches? If not, why promote it to your boys.
Is your troop able to take more backpacking trips if boys are involved with Philmont? If not, why promote it to your boys?
We send some boys on HA's because they come back and inspire the rest of our boys. We send them so that they learn more about this big country of theirs. We send them so that when they are in the crucible on Paris Island they are the least of their DI's worries, so that when it's time to sandbag or swift water rescue or whatever, they are prepared and their community is better for it.
If this is not happening with your boys who've come back from "big ticket" events, don't send them!
Don't like "warm fuzzies"? If a boy fundraises $2000 to his account through popcorn, that means 'bout $2000 went to the vendor, $1000 went to the council $1000 went to the troop. Boy has 33% in his scout account. Now you can mandate that it all go into some pot like the Marxists do. Or, you could explain to the boy that he is now a direct steward of $2K of troop funds for as long as he is scouting with you all. Then, let the boy decide if some of it should go to help his buddy (or some anonymous scout) make it to camp, or if he is in a unique position to represent the troop/council at some big-ticket event.
Just because it's his decision does not mean it's his individual benefit. His choices should be limited to those which make for better scouting.
P.S. - I'm actually of the ilk when our crew fund-raises, we toss it all in one pot and use it to reduce fees. I would be happy if it were that way with the troop. (Son #2 might actually fundraise more if it were so.) So, in committee meetings, I am promoting change on that front. But, there is no reason to put what people have been doing for years in the worst possible light.
I don't think the issue here is the size of the problem. A few dollars here and there is "no big deal". That message, however, concerns me. Are we saying that white lies and petty shoplifting are okay, but perjury and grand theft aren't? How big does the issue have to be before it's no longer okay? How far do we push the issue before the IRS notices? We're golden until then?
So then what is it we're teaching our boys?
IF I were ever to consider an ISA in my troop, it would be set up that a scout could make personal contributions to his account out of his own pocket. If he paid dues, that could go in there too. The line in the sand would be the source of the money for the account. Is it truly the scout's own money, or is it a "cut" of the take on money given to the troop by people who felt they were supporting the troop and not the individuals within it specifically. When the boy leaves or ages out, it was always his money, held in reserve for him at his own discretion, including giving to another needy scout, and when he leaves. He either takes it with him or makes a donation of the account to the troop as a tax deduction. He could also give to another scout, but without the tax deductability. After all, it's truly his money.
The reason why it would be held in a "scout" account instead of a bank is for the ease of payment on scouting activities. I need $25 for the campout? Take it out of my account, rather than him having to write a check to cover it out of his bank account. It's kinda like the council office holding individual troop accounts to make payments on items purchased in the council.
That clear cut message of whose money is where is the kind of message I am willing to put forth for my scouts.
Qwazse ... In your example ... You're refering $6000 in popcorn sales. In every instance I've seen, the troop is NOT under the same non-profit as the council. As such, the troop earned $3000 in their fundraiser. You're suggesting the scout gets to control/benefit from 66% of the non-profit funds. That's private benefit by definition. You call the IRS rules Marxism, but Marxism is the exact idea of a non-profit. Funds raised by a non-profit are used to benefit the goals and target population of the non-profit. If you don't like it, then issue the scouts an IRS form 1099 and move on.
If the justification to spend 66% money on a single scout is based on "it's his money", that's private benefit.
If the justification of who is selected as the scout is based on who raised the money, that's private benefit.
Justifying or selecting based on how the money was earned is private benefit.
I fully agree that scouts can get re-energized by high adventures and big events like Jambo and energized scouts benefits the troop. But does it benefit the troop to $2000? $2000 is well on the way to a new trailer. $2000 can help needy scouts or subsidize camps. It's free weekend camps for 80 scouts or week of summer camp for 8 to 10 scouts.
Anyway, my troop isn't perfect on this. But I'd rather understand the rules so we can move in the right direction than to pretend the rules work differently.

Ask D'Mine: No Insulin Needed?, Alternative Medicine's Bad Rap
{Need help navigating life with diabetes? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com}
Yup, you guessed it: it's another edition of our new diabetes advice column, Ask D'Mine, hosted by veteran type 1, diabetes author and community educator Wil Dubois.
Alex from Canada, type 1, writes: I was diagnosed roughly 9 months ago. Since then, my insulin requirements have increased every now and then. Last week, I needed 16u of basal insulin in the morning, and from that…

Help, Suggestions, Future of The D-Word
Difficulties with The D-Word? If you can't find the right answers on our Help page, please post in this topic. Ideas for future D-Word releases or projects can be posted here as well.
Re Cameras: Perhaps Deepak Varma, in trying to post his pictures, locked up the topic in some way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll email Peter.
I deleted Deepak's post, and voilà, it's working again.
funny... i finally decide to post a trailer in WIP and it's not working. it's a Vimeo URL and I'm getting the error folks were getting in the past:
There were problems with the following fields:
Embed is not a valid video URL. Please use a URL of a YouTube, Vimeo or Distrify page. (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmciuKsBOi0)
I see on extra TV show; where they were talking about a documentary about dyslexia and recommended for more info see dword.com I have not been able to find it?
Looks as though "D Word" is just part of the title, not a source of info.
I think so; I found what I was looking for; thank you anyway.
When I try to post a link to vimeo (by copying and pasting) I get an error message that the URL is not valid. Any ideas as to what's happening and how to fix it?
I should have said that it was in the Works in Progress topic.
This should be fixed now. Turns out vimeo changed their API and also their standard URLs. I've updated The D-Word to support these changes.
9 minutes Mr Gerard – time to pull the finger out.
Damn them. We're lucky to have you, Peter.
Hey folks – this has come up in the Works in Progress thread: "what is the HIDDEN SECTION?" – I don't quite understand the purpose – aren't all postings visible to all who are logged in as pros? Am I missing an important protocol?
Yes. It's all visible to professionals. By putting something in the hidden section (link directly below posting box) it takes one further click for the reader to see it. We generally encourage really long posts that maybe aren't your own (e.g. an article or job posting you are passing along) to go in the hidden section. Some folks use it for more sensitive information. Many here use it for comedic impact. But if a professional clicks, yes, it's all available to see.
Just to clarify, people in WIP are using it now so that others who may not want to read their input, or who may want to watch the piece without reading the thoughts of others first don't have to see their feedback. Blame Margot.
In reply to Marj Safinia's post on Thu 9 Feb 2012 :

First stage of the move completed. The database is now in a different state. I'll move the uploads later tonight and then we'll be completely in new surrounds...

CARSON, Calif. -- Following the lead of his representatives, David Beckham himself shot down reports linking him with a potential move to Australia.
Word came on Friday morning in Australia after the Football Federation of Australia issued a press release stating that there had been contact between Beckham's representatives and the federation. However, Beckham's represenatives were quick to deny the reports hours later stating that the LA Galaxy midfielder has "no plans" to play in Australia.
After the Galaxy's final training session in California on Friday ahead of the Western Conference Championship Second Leg against Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field, Beckham shot down the rumor.
"Bruce [Arena] told me this morning, this the first that I've heard about it," said Beckham, who was interjected with by a Arena, who said 'we booked his ticket already. "Like I said, that's the first that I've heard about it this morning, definitely, not true."
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy second-year midfielder Dan Keat made his longest international appearance on Wednesday, earning a start and going 75 minutes in New Zealand's 1-1 draw with China at the Hongkou Stadium in Shanghai.
Chris Wood tallied for the Kiwis while Zhao Peng scored for China. Keat is currently en route back to Southern California from China.
Below are a few other interesting links to get you through the evening...
Mike Magee has been deserving of an added media presence due to his electric play as of late and he's finally getting it.
ESPN FC and the Los Angeles Times spoke to the Galaxy midfielder to learn more about his impressive back story.
Meanwhile, back in Sweden, former LA Galaxy captain Gregg Berhalter discusses his first season coaching Swedish side Hammarby IF.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy defender Tommy Meyer has seen the impressive crowds at CenturyLink Field up close, having served as an unused substitute in both LA defeats this season, but on Sunday, the rookie will truly experience their ferocity from the Galaxy starting XI.
OnSunday in the Western Conference Championship Second Leg, Meyer will start alongside fellow center back and backline leader Omar Gonzalez as the Galaxy look to advance to advance to their third MLS Cup Final in four years. Although Meyer has seen the crowd at CenturyLink, he's excited about the prospect of stepping onto the field on Sunday, in front of the largest crowd that he's ever played in front of.
"It something that I look forward to," said Meyer. "You always want to play in front of a crowd like that and it kind of gets you going. It'll be a fun environment to play in."
Although the noise is deafening from the outside, Meyer attests that he does a good job of tuning out the crowd.
"I don't really hear anything; I'm just focused on the game," said Meyer. "Everything tunes out when the game starts."
While the atmosphere promises to be a festive one off the field, but LA understand that it will be a battle on the field as Seattle look to erase a three goal deficit after falling in the first leg at The Home Center. For Seattle to overturn the deficit at home, head coach Sigi Schmid will need greater production from forward Fredy Montero, who was a non-factor in the first leg in large part due to Meyer.
During the first leg, Meyer and Omar Gonzalez stifled Sounders FC's all-time leading goal scorer through consistent pressure, holding the Colombian to a single attempt at goal—a shot from 35-yards-out in the 16th minute that was blocked by Galaxy right back Sean Franklin. For LA to continue to keep Montero under wraps in the second leg, Meyer believes that the Galaxy must follow the same game plan.
"Obviously, we have to do the same way that we did last game, win steps to him and stay tight," said Meyer. "[Gonzalez and I] are good at covering each other just like we've been doing for last two games."
Although the crowd and a motivated Sounders FC will provide a stiff test for the rookie, Franklin and the rest of the Galaxy have confidence that Meyer can help LA silence Seattle.
"Earlier this year, he was not playing many games, so [he didn't] have a lot of confidence, but by getting in the rotation more, you can tell that he's playing with more confidence," said Franklin. "He has no fear out there, he's not afraid to make mistakes and if he does, he forgets about it and goes to the next play and he can tell you that he's growing as a player."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are fully aware that Seattle Sounders FC have been in this exact position heading into a decisive second leg in a postseason series before, but whether it impacts their own game plan remains up for debate.
During the 2011 Western Conference Semifinal First Leg, Real Salt Lake jumped on Sounders FC to defeat Seattle by the score of 3-0, setting up a decisive tie at CenturyLink Field. Needing to win by three goals to force extra time, Seattle went on the warpath and put RSL on their heels early. Clutch saves by goalkeeper Nick Rimando and a clearance off the line by right back Tony Beltran held Seattle scoreless in the first half, but the Sounders tallied two quick goals in the second, but could not find a third.
Ahead a frighteningly similar situation heading into this Sunday's match, LA expect the same approach from Sounders FC.
"I remember watching that game and they had almost 30-some shots [Seattle had 26 attempts on goal] and it's going to be a similar game to that one last year," said defender Sean Franklin. "For them, they have confidence; they know how close they were to closing a 3-0 deficit so we know it's going to be a tough game."
But head coach Bruce Arena begs to differ that RSL's experience bares any consequence for the Galaxy.
"You waste a lot of energy trying to think all that stuff out. They weren't successful last year; they didn't advance so I'm sure their blueprint is to advance and not, not to advance," said Arena. "It is what it is. Every game is different, you can't compare a game last year to this year, and we can't compare the last game that we played to the next one. They're all different."
"I'll be honest with you; everyone always has the answers the day after the game," Arena added. "Everyone is the expert and this time around, we have to be flexible with our thinking, flexible on how we deal with the game and hopefully, on Monday, all the experts agree with us as opposed to disagreeing. That's the way it is, there's no way of predicting what is going to happen."
Time Warner Cable Sports announced via Twitter on Thursday a deal to broadcast the Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes networks on Direct TV.
TWC SportsNet can be found on channel 691 and TWC Deportes on channel 458 starting Thursday night.

Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Mario Martinez went 18 minutes during Honduras' scoreless draw with Peru at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.
The Sounders FC midfielder was not the only MLS player still involved in the postseason to play as D.C. United's suspended midfielder Andy Najar started and went 73 minutes before being replace Houston Dynamo midfielder Oscar Boniek Garcia who played the remaining 17 minutes. Martinez is expected to return to Seattle for training on Thursday.
*Meanwhile in Krasnodar, Russia, the United States drew Russia 2-2 on goals from Michael Bradley and Mix Diskerud. With the result, the U.S. finishes 2012 with a 9-2-3 record and a .750 winning percentage, tying the modern era record set in 2005 by then-head coach Bruce Arena's team that went 13-3-4.
*While not Galaxy related, I'd be remiss if I didn't share a video of Zlatan Ibrahimović's fantastic overhead goal that the Swede scored during his nation's 4-2 win over England.
Check out the spectacular goal below...
CARSON, Calif. – A.J. DeLaGarza has not fully recovered from the MCL sprain in his left knee that has sidelined him since September, but on Wednesday, the central defender took a major step in his recovery.
DeLaGarza took part in the club's training session on Wednesday participating in a passing drill with the team as well as warm ups and individual work with assistant coach Jovan Kirovski. According to DeLaGarza, the on-field portion of his recovery process—which began last week—is ongoing, but by no means complete.
"This has been the worse injury that I've ever had," said DeLaGarza on Wednesday. "Being out six weeks is a long time for me so it's different and I handle it alright at times, but sometimes you want to rush it and sometimes you get down on yourself because you want to help the team, but they're winning right now. All I can do is support them, I'm happy because what they've been able to do is tremendous. When this team wants to turn it on, I don't think many teams could stop us."
While DeLaGarza has remained upbeat about his injury throughout his recovery, he admits that he has missed suiting up for the Galaxy, after a season that included a total of 30 Regular Season appearances for LA.
"I try to do stuff at home to loosen it up as well. When I first got the injury, they said six to eight weeks and I got an injection and it might take it down two weeks, so that's why at the very beginning, I said four weeks I'll be back," said DeLaGarza. "That's my mindset obviously; I guess that I guessed wrong. At around three weeks when I wasn't running and it wasn't getting much better, that's when I was getting down on myself, but it takes time to heal."
While his recovery remains a work in progress, DeLaGarza has set a goal of being available for the MLS Cup Final, should LA advance.
"That's my goal, just to dress and if I'm called upon be able to help the team," said DeLaGarza. "Whether it is off the bench or starting or not starting, not dressing, whatever it may be."
The Professional Referee's Organization announced on Wednesday that Mark Geiger will officiate Sunday's Western Conference Championship Second Leg between the LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field.
The 38-year-old served as the top official for just one LA Galaxy match and two Sounders FC matches this season. Seattle is 0-3 in their last three matches with Geiger as the referee; he served during Seattle's 3-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake in the 2011 Western Conference Semifinal First Leg. Geiger brings a strong pedigree to the match having officiated two matches at the 2012 Olympic Games in London as well as four matches during the 2011 Under-20 World Cup in Colombia including the final.
Geiger's last postseason game was a wild Eastern Conference Semifinal Second Leg between New York Red Bulls and D.C. United. During the Conference Semifinal, Geiger called 26 fouls, issued three yellow cards and two reds in a match that saw D.C. advance to the Eastern Conference Championship.
Geiger's complete breakdown of Galaxy and Sounders FC matches is below.
5/19 – CHIVAS USA 1 LA GALAXY 0. FOULS: 22 (10 for Chivas USA and 12 for LA); CAUTIONS: 2 (one each.); RED CARDS: 1 (LA); PENALTIES: 1 (Converted by Chivas)
5/12 – SOUNDERS FC 0 REAL SALT LAKE 1. FOULS: 28 (13 for Seattle and 15 for RSL); CAUTIONS: 2 (one each.)
6/16 – MONTREAL IMPACT 4 SOUNDERS FC 1. FOULS: 28 (18 for Montreal and 20 for Seattle); CAUTIONS: 4 (1 for Montreal and 3 for Seattle); RED CARDS: 1 (Seattle)

Better idea, do not support non-native solutions at all <.=.<
Sure, I've nothing against you buying native Linux games. :3 (or rather non-Windows ones; not that I would have anything against you buying Windows games either)

I was talking about their advertising that may violate consumer protection laws in some jurisdictions.Thing is that they have not broken any laws. The fork of wine that they sprouted from is from a MIT-license.
People said the same thing about the K-Mart boycott, they went into chapter 11 bankruptcy because of it. A boycott that successfully convinced paying members to stop paying for Cedega and move to wine or CxGames would hurt their business.With the Cider deals that they are signing it's very unlikely that a boycott of Cedega would have any appreciable damage to TransGaming.
@nanonyme - That is boycotting Cedega.
Would you care to give an example of how their advertising violates any potential consumer laws? If anything they are very forward and up front with their products capabilities.
Even say if you did find such an example in local jurisdiction cases violations are usually met with a full refund of the product to the users that fall in that jurisdiction. Even in extreme cases such as data loss the settlement is more then likely going to result in a extended length of service to those effected customers such as Intuit and Apple's cases of data loss with Quickbooks and Apple's .Me service.
K-Mart died because of crooked ownership and their inability to modernize their company. They were broke well ahead of any boycott.
well, once upon a time wine was bsd licenced. Transgaming forked and never contributed back, so it was changed to lgpl.
Result: todays wine is much better than Transgamings old fork.

Here are some very familiar faces from around 2000. They are posing with Miss Terri, former ADP assistant teacher in classroom A at the Morton Community Center.
Chloe Garwood, Molly ?, Grace Harvey, Miss Terri C, Melina Pajor, Cami Brown, Nikolas Gamarra, Roxanne Harvey
Thanks to the timeless quality of Montessori materials, it seems that only the faces have changed in these photos from MSGL classrooms in 2000.
It's a genuine Polaroid photo and the genuine Mr. Jeff presenting abstract computations with the Stamp Game.
We still use the same dishwashing stands in the classroom today.
Miss Chloe has been preparing the environment at MSGL for a long time.
The Unifix Cubes are not a Montessori material but they allow for counting, sorting, color recognition, and provide a clear control of error.
It just feels good to put the colored pencils in their matching holders.
Taking the spindles out of the boxes reinforces the counting activity used to put them in - and it builds concentration.
Two friends can work together on the Teen Boards. They are matching the quantity with the symbol and witing the numerals.
Using scissors is classified as a language activity because it builds hand-eye coordination and strengthens the hand muscles required for writing.
A comfy chair is better when it's big enough for two.
And finally, what is Steve building?
I hope that was as fun for you as it was for me! Have a warm and wonderful Wednesday. ~Heather
Let's recap our Building MSGL series on Wayback Wednesday. Montessori Parents, Inc. purchased the Calvary Baptist Church on Soldiers Home Road in 1999. Demolition of the interior began in September, 2000. Now it's December, 2000 and the stud walls are in place so that wiring, plumbing, and drywall work can begin.
Looking toward the Oak Room in Building B.
Standing in Catalpa looking through the wall into the Oak Room.
Looking out the door of the Maple Room into the office hallway.
Here's the view walking in the office door.
Here's that same view just a couple of months later.
This is the Maple Room looking toward the stairs.
This is the Willow Room looking toward the kitchen area.
And here is the Spruce Room filled with drywall supplies.
The Harvey & Son Construction crew. Steve, Don, Nolan, and Tony working over Thanksgiving Break.
That's all for this week. Have a terrific Wednesday!
If there truly is a flashback movie that plays in our heads just before we die, the remodeling of the MSGL buildings will certainly be a part of mine. And the sweaty people covered in dust will be in it too, smiling (mostly) like they were in these photos from the first week of demolition.
The following pictures represent some of my favorite memories of the building project because we were all so young and optimistic. We didn't truly grasp what working for six months through the winter with no electricity and no toilets and no babysitters would be like. So many parents, teachers, spouses, and extended family members gave their days off and their nights and weekends to prepare this space to be our new and improved Montessori School of Greater Lafayette. They did it for free and, most importantly, they did it with a sense of humor.
Dragging the folding partitions out of the basement.
The above photo brings to mind a particularly disheartening day. The church basement was divided up into classrooms by these heavy, orange, folding partitions. Before we could start cutting into the concrete floors and tearing out the ceilng, we had to remove all of these partitions. Did I mention that they were extremely heavy? So heavy, in fact, that we couldn't move them once we got them detached and rolled up on the floor. I recall seeing Craig Lamb, Beth Nichols, and Tony Harvey pushing on them with all of their might and they just weren't budging. The wise, manly men in our group decided to drag them out of the basement using the Bobcat. Don Harvey did just that. As Tony, project manager, recalled, "That part of the demolition was really brutal. You would go in and see what was going to beat the heck out of you that day."
Just like in a Montessori classroom, every volunteer found a niche. Some of the parents didn't want to see anything go to waste, so they took out the light fixtures and the doors and anything that might be of value and marked it for a remodeling sale we had a few weeks later.
Ellie's mom is organizing the salvaged items in the future toddler room.
One of the reasons we had such a dedicated group of volunteers is that demolition work is really fun! After a long day we could put on our grubby clothes and work gloves, grab a Wonder Bar and tear into the drywall and studs.
Ron and Cathy Stier.
Brian Berndt.
Beth working in the future River Birch room.
Beth and Cathy take out nails so we could re-use the studs.
Tools like the Sawzall made the job a lot more fun. This volunteer is standing in what is now the Willow room.
Tony unloads another wheelbarrow of debris.
Water girls, Gaia and Grace.
The author was concerned about lawn maintenance.
I was really worried that the lawn would grow too long and we would look like bad neighbors. This was the first and last time I mowed the entire campus with a push mower.
That week was lots of fun, but I'm glad it's done. Have a great Wednesday!

Bitcoin getting a boost from euro crisis
Today on the net, digital currency Bitcoin is soaring amid the euro crisis. Online uproar over plans to shut down Google Reader. And a Holocaust survivor is tracking down his long lost twin brother via social media.
Bitcoin getting a boost from euro crisis
The announcement that Cyprus would impose a tax on bank accounts as part of the country's bailout plan has raised strong concerns among a lot of Europeans who are now looking to place their savings elsewhere. And whilst some will be opting to hide their money under the mattress, others are considering converting their cash into digital currency. In Spain for example, several Bitcoin related apps have started spiking on the national smartphone market.
Introduced in 2009, bitcoin is a digital currency used by web users to carry out decentralized, anonymous and free online transactions. The bitcoin money supply is determined by an algorithm, so there is no bank involved and it cannot be controlled by any government. So whilst this offers all sorts of money laundering opportunities, it is winning over a growing number of savers who have lost confidence in the traditional banking system.
Bitcoins can be converted into dollars or euros via virtual currency exchange offices like the site Mt Gox. And European demand appears to have soared in recent months. The bitcoin value plummeted in 2011 after a security breach at the leading exchange, but it's now stronger than ever, one bitcoin would have got you 13 dollars back in January, it's now worth over 53 dollars.
More and more sites are now accepting the bitcoin payment method, and with this recent surge on the stock market it is now becoming a new safe-haven currency for Europeans in these times of economic downturn.
Uproar about Google Reader shutdown
Google is doing a spot of spring cleaning: the search engine has announced it will be shutting down some services it feels have become outdated. And so as of July, Google Reader, an aggregator of content served by web feeds which informs web users of any updates to websites they subscribe to, will no longer be in service.
A surprising move given that this is the first time the Californian giant has decided to get rid of a tool that is still used by a large number of web users. In the past only failing products, like Google Wave, have been eliminated in this way.
The Mountain View firm says the service, which was launched back in 2005, is losing its popularity. To the great annoyance of loyal subscribers: the impending death of Google Reader has fast become one of the most popular trending topics on Twitter.
There are even several e-petitions doing the rounds online, pleading with Google to change its mind, drawing over 130,000 signatures so far. Other fans of the service have set up this site, displaying an animated image depicting how subscribers feel about the closure of their favourite tool.
Whether all this campaigning will prompt the American giant to backtrack, remains to be seen. In the meantime however the announcement has had a positive impact on other feed reader applications like Feedly for example, which has announced in a blog post the arrival of hundreds of thousands of new members, former Google reader devotees. And countless web users have also taken to Twitter looking for alternatives if indeed Google Reader does disappear on July 1.
Now trending on social networks
Menachem Bodner was just four years old when he was separated from his twin brother after they were liberated from the Auschwitz concentration camp. 68 years later the Holocaust survivor, who now lives in Israel, is hoping to track down his brother Jeno who he believes is still alive, but may have changed names after being adopted. The only tangible clue Menachem Bodner has is that in Auschwitz his brother's arm was tattooed with the number A7734, which is the name of the campaign launched on social networks aiming to reunite the brothers as soon as possible.
Floor plans of popular TV show apartments
The floor plans of apartments from popular TV shows: this is what's on offer on this Tumblr blog belonging to artist Iñaki Aliste Lizarralde, better known under the online pseudonym Nikneuk. The drawings boast extraordinary attention to detail, taking you to the Simpsons living room for example, or the apartments occupied by the characters from Friends, there's also the home of the most famous small screen serial killer of all time, Dexter.
Video of the day
Are you aged 18 or over, in perfect health and have a taste for adventure? If the answer is yes, the pay close attention to this video which explains how the "Mars One" project hopes to establish human settlement on the Red Planet by 2023. And to finance the project, the private space venture company has teamed up with the creators of the "Big Brother" TV show: the aim is to create a reality TV program, broadcasting the adventures of the astronauts during their 8 month journey into space followed by their life on Mars...

Helicopter Swashplate Mechanism
This model illustrates the operation of a swashplate mechanism used in helicopters to translate the input of helicopter flight control into the motion of the rotor blades, and hence controls the orientation of the rotor blades. In this model, the rotor blades are modeled as either rigid bodies or flexible bodies in two different cases. All other components are assumed to be rigid bodies. Stress ...
Three-Cylinder Reciprocating Engine
In this example, a dynamic analysis of a three-cylinder reciprocating engine is performed to investigate stresses generated during operation, thereby permitting identification of the critical components. Demand for high power output relative to the weight of the engine requires careful design of its components. This model of a reciprocating engine contains a combination of rigid and flexible ...
Dynamics of a Double Pendulum
This is a tutorial model that shows how to model a hinge joint and use additional functionality including constraints, locking, spring-damper and prescribed motion. The model illustrates the nonlinear dynamics of the double pendulum. Locus of the tip of the lower arm and the phase space curve are plotted to demonstrate the chaotic behavior of a double pendulum. Many real structures can ...
Mechanical Assembly with Hinge Joint
This example illustrates how to model a barrel hinge connecting two solid objects in an assembly. In this model, the details of the connection are not the focus of the analysis, therefore, the hinge joint is modeled using a Joint feature in the Multibody Dynamics Module. The connected parts can be either rigid or flexible or a combination as shown in this model.
Spring Loaded Centrifugal Governor
A centrifugal governor is used to control the speed of rotating machinery. One of the most common applications is in controlling the RPM of an engine by regulating the fuel supply. This model illustrates the functioning of a spring loaded centrifugal governor. The dynamics of the governor are analyzed under the influence of a centrifugal force, spring force, and damping force. The sleeve ...
Dynamic Behavior of a Spring Loaded Rotating Slider
This model illustrates the modeling of slider motion caused by a base rotation. The motion of the slider is analyzed under various forces such as inertia force, centrifugal force, spring force and damping force. The prismatic joint, which is used to connect the two components, is spring loaded and also includes damping effects. The motion of the slider is compared with the analytical solution, ...
Slider Crank Mechanism
This is a benchmark model to test the numerical algorithms in the area of multibody dynamics. This model simulates the dynamic behavior of the slider crank mechanism. This mechanism goes through singular positions during its operation. The acceleration at a point is compared with the results from the reference.
Modeling Gyroscopic Effect
Gyroscopes are used for measuring the orientation or maintaining the stability of airplanes, spacecraft, and submarines vehicles in general. They are also used as sensors in inertial guidance systems. This model demonstrates the modeling of a mechanical gyroscope. It analyzes the response of the spinning disc to an external torque coming on the disc due to the rotation of the frame. It is shown ...
Stresses and Heat Generation in a Landing Gear Mechanism
This model simulates the dynamics of the shock absorber used in a landing gear mechanism of an aircraft. It analyses the stresses, as well as the heat generated in the landing gear components due to the energy dissipated in the shock absorber. A prismatic joint, with spring and damper, is used to model the shock absorber assembly.
Andrew's Squeezing Mechanism
This is a benchmark model for rigid body dynamics. This model simulates the dynamic behavior of "Andrew's squeezing mechanism", which is force driven and requires a very small time scale. Various angles in the mechanism are compared with the results from the reference.

Witness tampering charge added for McDonough in Marriott killing
Thursday, April 11, 2013
DOVER — The girlfriend of murder suspect Seth Mazzaglia is facing a witness tampering charge after allegedly trying to persuade another woman to lie about her whereabouts on the night University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott died.
Prosecutors say McDonough gave a false alibi to investigators looking into Marriott's disappearance. She is also accused of lying about her interaction with Marriott on Oct. 9, "knowing that Mazzaglia was liable to be charged with murder."
"The Marriott family also appreciates the ongoing prayers and best wishes for their family as they continue to mourn the loss of Lizzi," the family statement reads.

Getting stuff published...
I like to write fantasy short stories, and plan on, some day soon, writing a fantasy novel. The only thing is, I don't have the slightest clue on how to get any of my work published, beyond the non-profit online publishing. I am a member of The Poster Board Kingdom at: http://www.fantasynews.net/pbk and so far that is where I have been able to quench my thirst for writing. But I want to do more. Any advice?

Oil Boom Manufacturing Experiencing Unfortunate BoomMay 24, 2010 4:40 am | by Kevin Spears | News | Comments

text: Chan Wing Chiu has been working in the Hong Kong film industry since the 1990s, and now he pools together a bunch of new actors to make a refreshing title A Side, B Side, Seaside. The film consists of "A Side" and "B Side", reminding us of the VCD format which splits a film into two discs. On "A Side", the VCD of Takeshi Kitano's A Scene At The Sea brings a 17-year-old girl Chan Tim to encounter her first love Ho Fu who works in a VCD shop. She then comes across him on an outlying Island of Hong Kong where she is enjoying an unforgettable summer holiday with her best friends. Radiating the vitality peculiar to 17-year-olds, the four girls seem tireless in trying anything that they have never done before: adult movies, puppy love, first kiss, and many other things.

I seriously thought it would only take a few hours.
hey grandma, not sure how many creeps are on here that would do this, but I think it is possible to print that extremely hi-res photo you posted of your ticket and use that barcode for entry to un-suspecting ticket checkers. I'd say edit that photo or just remove it altogether. And just to be sure, get to the venue early in case someone is already planning on burning you. First code to get scanned wins. Just sayin...
they can go ahead and try
