SGA 5.16 "Brain Storm" Episode Guide
McKay brings Keller to Earth to visit an old rival physicist at his secret research facility. The rival demonstrates a wonderful new invention that's intended to fight global warming, but things do not go as planned.
Guide | Transcript
MGM/SciFi.com Official Summary
When the Atlantis team is given two weeks of vacation leave, Dr. Rodney McKay reluctantly accepts an invitation by his former rival, Malcolm Tunney, to attend a scientific demonstration that he claims will be the solution to global warming. Feeling bold, he asks Dr. Jennifer Keller to accompany him and she accepts. Upon reaching Earth, they are flown, by private lear jet, to a top secret facility in the middle of a desert.
Once there, McKay is shocked by Tunney's brazen claims that he's invented a device that can cool the Earth by venting excess heat from our space/time into another space/time – an idea McKay had already pursued two years earlier. Despite Rodney's mounting concerns over its safety, Tunney activates his new technology, dropping the heat contained inside the facility by 10 degrees. But when the device reaches this goal and will not disengage, McKay realizes he has to work fast or every one trapped inside the premises will freeze to death within the hour.

Production Notes
- "Martin Gero 'written and directed by spectacular'..." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, April 29, 2008.
- "Martin almost had himself a new story today. I say almost because, after spinning out what he felt was a wonderfully exciting idea, Martin returned to his office and, in the process of writing it up, came to the conclusion that, hey, this concept has the potential to go wrong in so many different ways. So, he's back at Square #1. ... Well, hey. Marty G. just dropped by to pitch out his new, wonderfully exciting idea for Episode #15. We all love it. I suggested he rush back to his office and write it up before he changes his mind. Again." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, May 8, 2008.
- "We spun Marty G.'s latest story idea this morning, going back and forth on various notions as the room argued containment fields, points of science, and hot vs. cold air masses. The thematic shift of his story has turned out to be a good new/bad news situation for me. Good news: HE is now writing "A Very Special Stargate: Atlantis". Bad news: He takes the #16 slot which means I'm writing #15 which will have to be ready to prep on the day we get back from our summer hiatus. It would be great to have a story locked some time before then, but it's been mighty slow going. And I'm getting mighty anxious. By the way, best exchange of the day: Brad: But that contradicts the laws of thermodynamics! Martin: Laws are made to be broken!" — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, May 12, 2008.
- "'I have no idea what it's going to be yet,' Gero told us regarding the episode he will write and direct. 'I'm focused on getting this two-parter really, really great. I think, ideally, [it will] be a smaller, quieter episode and save some money.' More recently Gero informed GateWorld exclusively that this fourth episode will be Earth-based. The title is still not known." — Martin Gero in Gateworld interview, June 4, 2008.
- "Speaking of Martin, we'll be breaking his episode #16 when he gets back into town next week. Apparently, finding an oil rig-like setting for his script has been a bit of a challenge. John Smith did find one suitable-looking place however. The only drawback = it's a sewage treatment plant and, by John's own admission, tends to get "a little ripe in the summertime". But sacrifices must be made for art and I, for one, don't really have a problem shooting there despite the olfactory downside. Of course, the fact that I have no intention of visiting the location during production could have something to do with it. Also, the fact that Marty G., the director of said episode, WILL have to be there may result in a conceptual change. Maybe the story doesn't take place on an oil rig after all. Maybe it takes place in a second-hand book shop…" — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, June 6, 2008.
- "The rest of the gang is understandably busy. Still, we did find time to gather and discuss Martin's script (a very special Stargate Atlantis). The highpoint of the afternoon's progress was, of course, the place-holder title we came up with: Snow Globe. Ah, the satisfaction of another day's work well done." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, June 9, 2008.
- "We did get around to breaking Martin's story today. The place-holder title, Snow Globe, lasted all of one day. It looks like, instead, we'll be going with Rob Cooper's suggestion: Brain Storm." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, June 10, 2008.
- "Once that was done, the producers took a stroll down to the lot where we checked out the (and hilariously named) reefer truck that Marty G. will be using for Brain Storm. The guys from SPFX were on hand to offer demonstration of the "burst pipe" sequence. Chilly!" — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, July 21, 2008.
- "Martin Gero was stumped. The Art Department needed a name for the venue in Brain Storm. You know, the one where Tunney gives his big speech and demonstration. "So what do I call it?"he asked the room. Before anyone else could even consider the possibilities, Paul already had the answer: "The Carl Binder Memorial Theatre". Brilliant! Word went out to the Art Department and, three hours later, the plans for the Carl Binder Memorial Theatre were distributed." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, July 21, 2008. (Image of Carl getting honors for his theatre from Martin.)
- "Alan finished his rewrite of Infection, Martin is prepping Brain Storm, Carl is poised to prep Identity, and Paul has broken ground on #20. With less than two months to go, it looks like it's going to be a mad dash to the finish line." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, July 23, 2008.
- "Well, it's a race to the finish line as Marty G. begins directing Brain Storm today (which, if you haven't heard by now, will guest Dave Foley, Billy Nye, and Neil deGrasse Tyson)..." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, July 31, 2008.
- "So it's a slow day around here. Martin Gero is directing his episode "Brain Storm" and the first unit is not on the lot (they're on location). ... And if the science aspects of the show excite you, stay tuned for Brain Storm - Martin Gero's upcoming episode - which will air in the fall." — Alex Levine, scifi.com blog, July 31, 2008.
- "Hanging with Dave Foley, Bill Nye & Jewel Staite here on Atlantis...I love my job!" — David Hewlett's Twitter, August 5, 2008.
- "Well, back in the office today and things are very quiet at The Bridge, partly because the cast and crew are away, shooting on location but mostly because yappy writers' room regular Martin Gero is off with them directing his first full episode of Stargate Atlantis." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, August 5, 2008.
- "... (we're currently shooting the episode "Brain Storm"—this will be a goody) ..." — Jewel Staite in her MySpace blog, August 5, 2008.
- "Oh, just filming a few scenes with Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye! How I love Stargate!" — David Hewlett in his Twitter, August 7, 2008.
- "This morning, fellow Exec. Producer Carl Binder and I threw caution to the wind, jumped into my Q7, and hit the road. We took an impromptu journey guided only by our spontaneity, our sense of adventure, and the directions to the location of Marty G.'s Brain Storm shoot. ... We pulled into the parking lot, right behind Special Features Producer Ivon Bartok who was documenting Martin Gero's foray into the dark side of directing, and followed him into the high school - down a flight of stairs, around a corner, and into the gymnasium that - through the magic of television - had been transformed into the Carl Binder Memorial Theatre. Extras milled about in tuxes and cocktail dresses while Marty G. set up his next shot. Jewel Staite looked, well, nothing short of drop-dead gorgeous in her evening best while David Hewlett exuded the roguish charm of a nerdy James Bond in his flash jacket and pants. Sitting by the monitor was former Kids in the Hall/News Radio alum Dave Foley who, for reasons unknown, had been given a way-too-early call and was good humouredly killing time until his first scene. ... Dave Foley = Class Act. Equally pleasant and engaging were the sovereigns of science Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye. They turned out to be a lot of fun both in front of and away from the camera, regaling the rest of the cast and crew with stories of their empirical exploits. They seemed to be as happy to be there as we were to have them. Well, Martin appeared to have everything well in hand so, after a couple of hours of hanging around on set, we hopped back into the Q7 and returned to the studio..." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, August 7, 2008. There are lots of pictures for this location shoot in the blog entry.
- "Marty G. is directing his last day on Brain Storm (at the airport shooting the Learjet sequences)..." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, August 12, 2008. Entry also includes episode images.
- "Brainstorm is complete except for one day in the freezer with Jewel and a large axe (don't ask!). I'm sad to see the episode go as it was a real high point for season five and (more importantly) to my life as a nerd. I really hope Baz goes into the sciences, it's such a pleasure to be around and work with such intelligent life!" — David Hewlett in his blog, August 17, 2008.
- "Marty G. was directing the last few scenes of Brain Storm in a reefer truck (which is capable of being refrigerated to below freezing). Room temp today. Tomorrow, Jewel gets chilly." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, August 19, 2008.
- "Marty G. was directing within the deep-freeze confines of the reefer truck today. He cut quite the dashing figure in his galoshes and parka. The rest of the crew was similarly decked out for the chilly conditions - except Jewel, of course, who looked good - and cold - in her party dress and McKay's jacket." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, August 20, 2008. Images included.
- "Paul wanted to do a story in which the effects of the McKay-Miller gate bridge have serious other-worldly repercussions for the city. As it turns out, we ended up doing an episode in which the McKay-Miller gate bridge ends up having serious all-too-worldly repercussions for a bunch of stranded scientists in season 5's Brain Storm." — Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog, September 30, 2008.

A Re-cap Of Last Friday...;~)

For my beer buddies, Bill, Frank, Deb, Denny, and Craig...
...enough said?
Labels: beer, friends, recreation
a place to be
Labels: beer, friends, recreation
Decided to stop eavesdropping and say hello. Good to see others enjoying what real life has to offer and ignoring what mass marketing gurus tell us to do.
Mine is sitting on the table, yet unopened, waiting for the right moment to enjoy it. By the way, I was going to ask you what the ideal serving temperature is for a Bigfoot--my beer intuition tells me that I would be missing out on a lot if I drank it ice cold. Slightly cooler than room temperature maybe?
I like it very cool, but not ice cold.
I'm having trouble with our blog, I can't see this post other than through the view option in the dashboard edit page.
Earth Home Garden seems to have locked me out about 9:30 yesterday morning. Apparently I can post, edit posts, and leave comments, but what comes up when I search my own blog is the post from January 30th with the manzanita leaf which I have since deleted by mistake while trying to figure out what's going on.
Visitors here probably don't see that post anymore, and I don't see the one with the Bigfoot caps, except, like I said, through the dashboard editor where I'm adding this comment from.
Something bizarrre has happened, I notice my Yahoo homepage display is also stuck on January 31, 9:21 A.M., but when I click on the news button the current stories come up, it's just the initial page display that seems stuck in time, just like my blog.
I really don't like computers when they act like this!
Anybody out there have an idea what's going on here?
Oh, it's beer? Now I feel like an idiot.
Why do you feel like an idiot?
Did I miss something?
Jim- I was just thinking sometime I'll have to send you a Two Hearted Ale, a Kalamazoo Stout (Both from Bell's Brewery in Michigan) and a Summit Pale Ale from right here in St. Paul, MN.
And is it just coincidence that I am your only female beer buddy? Do more females not enjoy the finer things in life? ;)
You are the only female I know who shares an enthusiasm for good beer on a similar level as my other beer buddies.
I don't know why that is...
Do you have any female friends who love beer?
I've only known one other woman who was really into beer, and her husband was a brewer at Anderson Valley (talk about a dream job!) It does seem to be a guy thing; maybe women are socialized to drink "light" beer and thus come to associate beer with swill. :)
Hey Jim,
I kept trying to post last week but for some reason, it wouldn't go through. I've got a buddy documenting the search for sasquatch. Do you think I could buy a bottle of big foot brew from your friend as a gift? :)
Wow Jim, after that line up your taste buds should be all at attention! I know I'm months behind but glad you are trying to find the "Blind Pig" I recently brewed at BJ's with my friends a brew called " Hop Worship" it's currently on tap in Woodland Hills. The brewmaster Zambo couldnt believe we tossed in about $100 worth of hops. Craig

"Travel. The only thing you buy that makes you richer."
Excited to be back on the blog after two amazing weekend travels! Working 8-4, M-F, and traveling on the weekends has kept me very busy and inspired.
Last summer, Matt visited me in NYC for Fourth of July weekend, so I did the same this year in what will soon be both of our homes – Boston! We had a wonderful weekend of exploring, and of course . . . food. I am so blessed that our paths in life have led us both to Boston. I truly love the city (and Matt).
Following that trip, I attended my second Her Campus Intercollegiette Conference, #HerConference. However, this time I was part of the National Team! I can not stress enough how much this trip solidified that I made the best decision to start my career at Her Campus Media. I made instant friends and am counting down the days until I begin work. Fellow September-starter Liana and I got to work the Social Currency booth. There were amazing raffles from sponsors including Intel, Luna Bar (they gave away a semesters worth of Luna Bars to two lucky winners), Chloe + Isabel, VS PINK, and so much more. Collegiettes had a great time tagging our sponsors on social media to receive raffle tickets, and I had a blast working that crowd!
Speakers at the conference included Carley Roney, Co-founder and Chief Content Officer of XO Group (formely known as The Knot), and Susan Kaufman, Editor-in-Chief of People StyleWatch among many other notable women in the editorial, blogging, marketing, and digital worlds.
My career is going to be surrounded by empowering women, and my heart is full of passion to sell Her Campus to the world. I had a blast celebrating success with my future co-workers and reflecting on how thankful I am for all opportunities.
Also in New York, I got to see my cousin, Gillian, who is the recently appointed VP of Consumer at Weber Shandwick New York! While in the same building, I visited my Golin girls from last summer (and walked out with this perfect Instagram notebook).
My next flight will be a one-way ticket to Boston, where I will be roommates with a fellow AOII alumna. In the mean time, I am LOVING my time at Next Stop Broadway, making new memories with lifelong friends. HUGE PLUG for my best friend Carlie Craig who works for and is on tour with YouTube Sensation Todrick Hall, so proud of you starring in Twerk Du Soleil! Check her out as 'Rebecca', the hysterical IM5 stalker in Todrick Hall's #BandCamp, and on Instagram as the hilarious @IM54U4Ever
I had a lot to catch up on, hope everyone is having a great summer as well!

Halle Berry Pays Alexandra Shipp Dust
Interestingly enough, when Alexandra reached out to Halle to get some tips on portraying the iconic comic book character on the big screen, she didn't get a response.
In a recent interview, Alexandra Shipp revealed Halle Berry paid her dust when she reached out about the upcoming film.
"I was like, 'All right, hold on. People aren't going to want to see you be Halle Berry. Otherwise they're going to want Halle, you know? You got to find your own Storm. You got to find who you think Storm is in these moments and in this time in her life.'"
Shipp tried getting in touch with Berry, but that didn't work out. "I reached out to her," Shipp said. "You know, Halle's got her show and her family and stuff. So I understand, she's got her thing going on. Also, I think that my email might have scared her because it was a lot of word vomit. Like, 'Oh, my God, I love you, you're so amazing. What does your hair smell like? What perfume do you wear? If you had a favorite deodorant scent, what would it be?'"

Future Watch: Donovan Mitchell Rookie Basketball Cards, Jazz
Future Watch: Donovan Mitchell Rookie Basketball Cards, Jazz – This past offseason for the Utah Jazz was a rollercoaster. The team was heartbroken when they were unable to retain star forward Gordon Heyward, who left in free agency for the Boston Celtics. Utah pivoted quickly by acquiring veteran point guard Ricky Rubio via trade, which gave them a primary ballhandler. Still, the Jazz needed scoring. Thankfully their move to acquire 13th overall pick in the 2017 Draft, Donovan Mitchell, has paid off to start the season.
Mitchell attended multiple high schools as a prep, eventually settling on Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Early on, he was a two-sport athlete, playing baseball and basketball. After his sophomore year, he focused entirely on basketball for his junior and senior seasons. This paid off, and Mitchell gained more attention from college basketball coaches and scouts. He would eventually commit to play for the University of Louisville under head coach Rick Pitino.
Mitchell spent two seasons with Cardinals, wearing #45 as a tribute to Michael Jordan's baseball career. As a freshman, he averaged 7.4 points, 1.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. He made a big leap in scoring during is sophomore season when his points per game jumped to 15.6. This effort earned him First Team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors, and a lot of attention from NBA scouts. After his sophomore year, Mitchell entered the NBA draft.
Scouts at the NBA Draft Combine were floored by Mitchell's measurements, athletic testing numbers and shooting ability during drills. He immediately began to soar up draft boards. He stands at only 6'1" without shoes, but his massive 6'10" wingspan compensates for that. His fantastic athleticism allows him to keep up with most guards and even some smaller 3's.
Utah has struggled out of the gate the season as they try to find a new identity after losing Gordon Heyward. Luckily, Mitchell has stepped up for the team. He is second in points per game with 14.6, and he has started six of the team's 14 games with significant minutes increases. Recently, he's been stellar, scoring 26 and 24 points in each of his last two games. Utah may not be the most desirable team to collect, but Donovan Mitchell may change that perspective. Fans of the Jazz and collectors around the nation should take notice of Mitchell's game!
Donovan Mitchell already has some great autographed rookie cards in the market. They can be found in 2017 Panini Contenders Collegiate Draft Picks Basketball. As a top draft pick, collectors can be assured to find NBA licensed rookie cards of Mitchell in the complete portfolio of 2017-18 Panini NBA basketball card products during the 2017-18 NBA season.

Install Codisto from your platform's app store and follow the in app prompts. If you are installing on open source versions of Magento or WooCommerce you may find these articles from our help centre helpful: Magento 1, Magento 2, WooCoommerce.
Because Codisto is an app that sits inside your existing ecommerce platform there's no data migration to a separate multi-channel platform required which can save days or even weeks of setup time. With Codisto, installation and connecting a marketplace takes about a minute. Setting default listing values takes another minute or so. If you are happy listing all products with default values there is nothing more to do except enable the products (in bulk) you want to list (or link to existing listings). Amazon & eBay limit the speed of listing hundreds or thousands of products to a certain rate per minute but a few thousand products are listed in about an hour. If you wish to configure certain products away from the default values, setup time is dependent on how many changes you are making but all changes can be done in bulk. It's rare that merchants take any more than an hour or so for the most complicated configurations and everyone is normally selling same day.
Yes. Codisto supports listings on all Amazon & eBay sites around the world all from within your ecommerce platform. Codisto supports all store currencies and you can use our in-built currency manager to list on marketplaces in different currencies.
Codisto is multi-channel in an app. It sits inside your existing ecommerce platform which means there's no need for a separate multi-channel platform which requires data migration, change of process and 'source of data truth'.
Switching is easy. Simply uninstall/disconnect existing solution (without ending any listings), install Codisto and follow the in app prompts (including relinking any existing listings which can be done quickly in bulk).
Yes. It's easy to set different rules for marketplace listings different to those used on your webstore and quickly apply them in bulk using in built operators or mapping fields from your ecommerce platform.
Codisto sync is 'event driven'. This means as soon as something happens like an item gets sold or a price gets changed, Codisto is constantly 'listening' and reacts as soon as the message that something has changed is received. Codisto means you can't oversell or sell at the wrong price because we avoid the need for scheduled sync events. This is different from alternative approaches which run event changes on scheduled frequencies e.g. every hour. A scheduled sync approach means you are always out of sync between schedules.
Codisto works well with common 3rd party apps e.g. meta-field extensions and shipping integrations. Codisto 'should' work well with other 3rd party apps due to our rigourous adherence to app development guidelines. However, we cannot guarantee all 3rd party apps have been developed in accordance with the guidelines and given the large number it is impossible to test all. If you are using a 3rd party app that you are already using and suspect may cause a conflict we suggest testing Codisto with a small number or products/orders first and reach out to support if you experience any difficulties.
No. Codisto uses your online store product catalog as the 'source of truth' to sync with Amazon/eBay. There are 3rd party importer tools available to create products in your ecommerce platform (search Google or app store). You can then use Codisto to create/link & sync your ecommerce platform products with Amazon/eBay.
We have several new marketplaces on our radar but we have purposefully limited marketplaces currently offered to Amazon & eBay to ensure the best performance, speed and ease of use. The vast majority of online buyers shop on Amazon and/or eBay so unless you sell goods that are tightly aligned with specialist marketplaces, chances are you'll be successful on Amazon & eBay. When we do offer additional marketplaces, you'll know they work with the upmost quality.
Yes. Codisto marks orders and puts them into Amazon & eBay customer groups in your ecommerce platform.
There are no setup fees or hidden charges with any of our plans.
We appreciate that exceeding plan limits by small amounts may not be enough to justify paying the next highest plan fee. We also know some sales are seasonal or have temporary increases. To avoid these issues Codisto charges monthly overages above the included plan limts at USD15c per listing and USD29c per order. You can choose to upgrade or downgrade plans at any time if these offer better value for your business by selecting the appropriate plan within the app.
For BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento & Ecwid we accept Visa and Mastercard. All Shopify charges are paid through your Shopify account - Shopify then remit to us less their commission.
No. You can install and experience Codisto without a credit card (or accepting a Shopify billing agreement). We ask you to choose a plan and enter credit card (or accept Shopify billing agreement) when you list/link your first item(s). Nothing gets charged during the free trial period but we need a payment method in place should you decide to continue with Codisto at the end of the free trial period so that sync isn't interrupted as you move from free trial to paying subscription. If you want to cancel at any time simply email email@example.com.
Yes. If you ever decide that Codisto isn't the best Amazon/eBay integration solution for your business, simply cancel by emailing email@example.com. We never end any listings when you cancel, they are just not kept in sync any longer.
Yes. Codisto connects your online store to your Amazon/eBay account(s). You need an Amazon Professional Seller account (you can't use an individual account because Amazon doesn't allow 3rd party connections) or an eBay seller account (list any item on eBay manually once and eBay automatically turn an eBay buyer account into an eBay seller account). You are responsible for any Amazon/eBay fees - these are separate to Codisto charges.
You can use Codisto free for 14 days. No credit card (or Shopify billing agreent) is required to install and configure ('click around'). We ask you to choose a plan and enter credit card (or accept Shopify billing agreement) when you list/link your first item(s). Nothing gets charged during the free trial period but we need a payment method in place should you decided to continue with Codisto at the end of the free trial period so that sync isn't interrupted as you move from free trial to paying subscription. If you want to cancel at any time during the free trial simply email firstname.lastname@example.com and nothing will ever get charged.
If you choose to continue with Codisto at the end of the free trial, we will charge your credit card (or via Shopify) for the plan selected. If you choose to cancel during the free trial period (simply email email@example.com), we'll end sync and never charge you. Any listings created during the free trial remain active at the end of the trial (we never end them) but they are no longer kept in sync with your ecommerce platform.
Everything. The product you use during your free trial is the same product you would use as a paying subscription.
Yes. You can choose to upgrade or downgrade plans at any time by selecting the appropriate plan within the app.
No. There's no contract - just pay as you go, month-to-month. You can cancel at any time without penalty.
Yes. Codisto supports multi Amazon/eBay account, multi Amazon/eBay site & multi store (Magento) use
Yes. Codisto works on a 'per instance' basis. The only exception to requiring two Codisto subscriptions is if you are operating a multi-store environment on the same Magento instance.
Support is available 24/7 by email, chat. Phone support is available for Enterprise customers.
Codisto is constantly 'listening' and reacting to any changes made on marketplaces or your platform to ensure sync is maintained. This architecture is the only way to provide the performance demanded by professional online sellers. This requires a lot of server resources that we get charged on a monthly basis for by Amazon Web Services. Also, marketplaces and platforms and regularly changing their offerings in terms of features, meta data or APIs (what we use to connect stores to marketplaces). Furthermore, we are having to constantly reinvest to develop new featuers and maintain the solution to ensure it works for all sites and platforms supported . We also provide 24/7 support. All of this is included in the monthly fee.
No. Codisto understands the importance of retaining your current listings. During the installation flow we prompt you to 'Link Existing eBay Listings' which guides you through how to link your existing eBay listings to your ecommerce products. This can be done in bulk in a few clicks.
No. Listings are never ended if you cancel your Codisto subscription, they are just no longer kept in sync with your ecommerce platform and orders are no longer transferred to your ecommerce platform.
Some merchants aren't sure how their products will sell on marketplaces but they have a lot of products they want to list and try selling. The idea of the flexi plan is to give merchants a low commitment way of trying marketplace selling. Once sales are known or it becomes cheaper to move to a fixed plan, simply change plans in app. This can be done at any time. Merchants on the flexi plan get charged the fixed portion in advance and the variable portion in arrears.
Shopify users are billed by Shopify which charges per 14 day cycles. Non-Shopify users are billed monthly. We refer to "monthly" pricing as a proxy for 14 day billing periods in Shopify for simplicity.
You can choose what you want to list, individually or in bulk. Filtering and bulk edit makes it very fast to list any number of products.
Absolutely. You don't need to list anything with Codisto to take advantage or marketplace order sync - just set to "all orders" in the orders settings screen.

Jonesin' – "Hi, We're Jonesin'"
Category: Music In My Ears — dryvetyme @ 07:00
"Hi, We're Jonesin'"
Turn Up; 2009
I'm a fan of the most excellent show How I Met Your Mother, with my favorite episode being "Slap Bet" (Season 2, Episode 9), mostly for introducing two key running jokes to the series: 1) the "slap bet" that exists between Marshall and Barney, and 2) the music of Robin Sparkles. According to the show's chronology, Robin Sparkles was the stage name of character Robin Scherbatsky from her time as a mall-touring Canadian teenage pop star in the '90s. And yes, the show explicitly poked fun at Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, and Canadians when Robin stated that the '80s didn't come to Canada until the mid-'90s, explaining why teen girl pop stars were still singing in malls in Canada, much to the delight of Ted, Barney, Marshall, and Lily. The twist is that the anachronistic fake pop singer (with two videos, "Let's Go To The Mall" and "Sandcastles In The Sand") has a viral MySpace page in the real world that celebrates her "music."
In an equally surreal alternate universe, Matt and Jenny Jones of Jonesin' should also get to experience that sort of underground cultish affection. The couple has recently released a record entitled "Hi, We're Jonesin'" and it too embraces the same uber-cutesy '80s synth-pop as that of Robin Sparkles, but does so much more earnestly. Using a small fleet of classic synths and processors (including a Yamaha DX100 and Casio CTK-550), this ten-song project features bouncy keyboard runs over some rather retread (but occasionally quite catchy!) beat patterns alongside "aw-shucks"-inducing boy-meets-girl vocals and lyrics.
Yet, as crass as this might sound, Jonesin' could almost be interesting, except that there are instances when the group comes across as a novelty act, right down to Jenny Jones' highly affected (and often annoying and grating) teeny-bopper vocals. The result is an album that seems more like performance art than an actual left-of-center quirky retro pop group. The songs themselves are charming little ditties about a young couple falling in love, including tracks about reading Harry Potter to each other, shoring up resources for the impending apocalypse in 2012, and enjoying ice cream sundaes together. Yet, for every song like "Rollerskates" or "Ice Cream" that rings with potential, there's an offering like "Lil Wino" or "How Much You Wanna Bet?" that only makes me flip to the whatever might be next.
"Hi, We're Jonesin'" probably won't change the world with its re-imagining of romantic, high-school-dance-ready '80s pop, but if Robin Sparkles can have a fake career on MySpace (courtesy of CBS money), then Jonesin' deserves just as much (if not more). In my estimation, if the Joneses were to employ more traditional vocal techniques, that dream might actually become a reality.

The Rise of Farm to Keg Breweries
Everyone's heard of the expression "farm to table" in the context of a restaurant's menu. In fact, it's used so often, one must truly wonder how much of its meaning has been lost in translation. Now, the popular philosophy is beginning to make its way into the beer world with farm to keg breweries.
Beer makers are now more careful about the ingredients they use in their creations, being sure to use the highest quality possible when brewing. Big Foot Brewing in New York and Dirt Farm Brewing in Virginia are two microbreweries who have been given the legal freedom to grow, produce, and serve beer on agricultural land. Similar to how wineries operate, this rustic style is sure to become extremely trendy in 2016.
Perhaps the most obvious reason this will become popular is because of how health-conscious our society is becoming as a whole. As we learn more and more about preservatives used in things we consume, we strive to find healthier, organic options. This can be said not only for food, but for beverages we consume as well, including beer.
Another reason the farm to keg concept will be popular is beer connoisseurs—or those who wish to learn more about beer—will be able to taste differing beer based on region, much like wine lovers can do. For example, the beer coming from Big Foot Brewing in New York could have specific similarities and differences, some of which surely can be attributed to the region difference.
One advantage for brewers with the farm to keg idea is that it sets them apart from other breweries. With the popularity of craft breweries rising over the past few years, they are practically a dime a dozen at this point. The farm to keg concept is new and exciting. However, there is certainly some risk involved in growing your own ingredients for beer—as harvests can be unpredictable. This is a common theme seen with wine, as many times the price of wine will fluctuate depending on the year's harvest. For example, in 2008, there was a "hops crisis," due to bad weather and a shortage of hops. For big beer companies, this isn't as much as a problem because most can afford to have contracts with farms, however smaller microbreweries ended up with low quality product, thus negatively affecting their final brew.
So what do you think? Will you become the next farm to keg brewery fanatic? It will certainly be interesting to watch the trend rise and see how it grows, and we can't wait to try out the product!

ThinkMarkets Review
Please Note: ThinkMarkets was not included in the 2020 annual review. As a result, this broker's ratings may be outdated. Read our Best Forex Brokers 2020 guide for a look at the top rated forex and CFDs brokers.
The ForexBrokers.com annual forex broker review (four years running) is the most cited in the industry. With over 50,000 words of research across the site, we spend hundreds of hours testing forex brokers each year. How we test.
ThinkMarkets (formerly ThinkForex) was established in 2010. Today, ThinkMarkets is regulated in Australia (TF Global Markets Pty), the UK (TF Global Markets Limited), and Bermuda (Think Capital Limited).
Known for its efforts in the cryptocurrency space (see "Other Notes"), ThinkMarkets offers forex and CFDs traders access to 38 forex pairs and nearly 200 CFDs, which includes nine cryptocurrency CFDs.
Review Summary
ThinkMarkets provides regulated forex and CFDs on multiple asset classes, including cryptocurrencies. Despite offering a proprietary trading platform as well as MT4, ThinkMarkets fails to compete with industry leaders.
- Trade Interceptor desktop and mobile platform is a compelling alternative to MetaTrader 4.
- Regulated in Australia and the UK (with EU passports).
- Unique cryptocurrency offering.
- Standard Account holders don't have access to AutoChartist or an account manager.
- Poor customer service.
- Trade Interceptor platform offers no web-based version.
Is ThinkMarkets Safe?
ThinkMarkets is considered average-risk, with an overall Trust Score of 80 out of 99. ThinkMarkets is not publicly traded and does not operate a bank. ThinkMarkets is authorised by two tier-1 regulators (high trust), zero tier-2 regulators (average trust), and zero tier-3 regulators (low trust). ThinkMarkets is authorised by the following tier-1 regulators: Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Learn more about Trust Score.

|Publicly Traded (Listed)

Commissions & Fees
Commissions and fees will vary depending on the type of ThinkMarkets account you choose. Based on our research, ThinkMarkets is more expensive than the industry average.
- ThinkMarkets offers three account types and a separate account type for its Trade Interceptor platform offering.
- Standard account: $250 minimum deposit, commission free, with wider spreads (in lieu of per trade commission) and can be used on MT4.
- PRO account: Lower spreads compared to the Standard account and three units per side commission (six units per RT) or the equivalent of $6 RT per standard lot (100K units); minimum account balance of $2,000 required. The PRO account can be used only with the MT4 platform.
- VIP account: Comparable to the PRO account, commission rate is negotiable on a client-by-client basis, making it an option for active traders, although it is not available for Trade Interceptor accounts (MT4 only).
- Bankruptcy insurance for eligible clients who deposit over $50,000 in the UK.
- ThinkMarkets advertises its lowest spreads, but because it did not provide an average or typical spread value, we couldn't make an even comparison with other brokers.
- We would like to see ThinkMarkets publish its own average spread data, ideally monthly, to help provide a clearer picture on how its forex spreads average out over the entire calendar month, as its FX pricing otherwise appears competitive.
- ThinkMarkets does, however, publish average spreads for specific instruments, such as CFD indices. For example, we observed a 1.3 pip average spread on the DAX in MT4, whereas, spreads on Trade Interceptor are fixed at 1 pip.
- ThinkMarkets provides market execution as its main attraction as an agency broker. Because of this, positive/negative slippage can occur, as trades are not re-quoted. In the UK, ThinkMarkets has a dealer license which is limited as a match-principal (agency-only execution), and in Australia and Bermuda the brand follows a similar method, although it may take risks as a dealer/market maker when needed (as a contingency).

Platforms & Tools
Thanks to Trade Interceptor, ThinkMarkets provides a trading experience that exceeds the traditional MetaTrader-only offering. That said, it is available as a desktop download only and has no browser-based version.
- ThinkMarkets offers two platforms: its own Trade Interceptor platform (desktop only) and MetaTrader 4.
- While Trade Interceptor's desktop software may be light compared to other competitors, the platform has a good balance of features, making it neither overly complex, nor too simple. All in all, I found it to be a positive user experience.
- Charting is a clean experience, and comes packed with 102 indicators, 54 drawing tools and icons, and 12 chart types. One feature I enjoyed is that once indicators are added to a chart, those indicators are added by default to every new instrument opened in a new chart window. Chart layouts can also be saved as templates, comparable to the MetaTrader platforms.
- Oddly, there is no web version of the Trade Interceptor platform, leaving the mobile option the only alternative to the Trade Interceptor desktop.
- While backtesting is available on Trade Interceptor via the Traders Gym feature, automated trading algorithms are not supported.

Customer Service
To score Customer Service, ForexBrokers.com partnered with customer experience research group Customerwise to conduct phone tests from locations throughout the UK. For our 2019 Review, 229 customer service tests were conducted over six weeks.
- Average Connection Time: <3 minutes
- Average Net Promoter Score: 4.4 / 10
- Average Professionalism Score: 2.6 / 10
- Overall Score: 4.0 / 10
- Ranking: 20th (23 brokers)
- View Infographic
Overall, ThinkMarkets provides a fairly diverse selection of forex and CFDs research but lacks the depth and variety of tools required to compete with industry leaders.
- The ThinkMarkets team of analysts produces multiple daily blog articles covering technical and fundamental news analysis across forex and CFD markets. Its economic calendar is powered by FXStreet.
- News headlines provided by FX Wire Pro stream within the Trade Interceptor platform for clients. In addition, ThinkMarkets integrates AutoChartist, which is a popular pattern-recognition software for researching trading opportunities, although the tool is available only to clients who have at least $2,000 in their account balance.
- Further research tools include an add-on for MT4 known as MT4 Super, developed by FX Blue LLP, which provides a suite of indicators and trading tools traders can use to enhance the default MT4 platform setup.
- Adding a heatmap and stock screeners would help boost ThinkMarkets' research offering.
- Overall quality of produced research is just, "ok".

Mobile Trading
After spending some time in the Trade Interceptor app, I was left impressed. Coupled with MT4, ThinkMarkets provides a competitive mobile offering for forex and CFDs traders.
- The Trade Interceptor app includes a good range of features, even though some of them are nestled away in the "more" section, including the economic calendar and trend risk scanner.
- Looking at the charting package, there are 11 chart types to choose from with 102 indicators and 57 drawing tools. The experience matches that of the desktop version of the platform, which is uncommon and a benefit for traders.
- The Trade Interceptor app may appear simple on the surface; however, it provides advanced features and settings that can be fined tuned. For example, charts can be adjusted to view four at once, which is certainly not usually available in a mobile experience.
- None.

Other Notes
Liquidation calls (margin call /stop out) trigger when the account value is equal to half of the used margin, which means the free margin is permitted to go negative up to a value equal to half of the used margin amount – before all trades are closed. This is more flexible than brokers that may trigger a margin call sooner, such as when the available margin reaches zero (i.e., when the account value equals 100% of the used margin).
In 2017, ThinkMarkets followed the industry trend and began offering cryptocurrency CFDs, launching nine pairs against the US Dollar including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, NEO, Dash, Ethereum, and Ripple.
It's worth noting that ThinkMarket's cryptocurrency CFD contracts expire each week, limiting their appeal to long-term investors.
ThinkMarkets also publishes a blockchain mobile app called TradeConnect, following the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) of the ThinkCoin cryptocurrency project, which is aimed at building a smart contract-based exchange, and is a member of the ThinkMarkets Group.
Final Thoughts
Looking at the ThinkMarkets offering, the Standard account would not be my choice as there is no free VPS, no AutoChartist, and no account manager provided. For traders who want MT4 and can deposit at least $2,000, the Pro account has more competitive pricing and access to the above features Standard Account holders miss.
Pricing aside, ThinkMarkets primary highlights include its cryptocurrency offering and its Trade Interceptor mobile app. Beyond this, our testing found ThinkMarkets provides poor quality customer service, and overall the broker struggles to provide enough value to compete with the best firms in the industry.
2020 Review Methodology
For our 2020 Forex Broker Review we assessed, rated, and ranked 30 international forex brokers over a five month time period. Each broker was graded on 105 different variables and, in total, over 50,000 words of research were produced.
While encouraged, broker participation was optional. Each broker had the opportunity to complete an in-depth data profile and provide executive time (live in person or over the web) for an annual update meeting.
All data submitted by brokers is hand-checked for accuracy. Ultimately, our rigorous data validation process yields an error rate of less than 1% each year, providing site visitors quality data they can trust. Learn more about how we test.
Forex Risk Disclaimer
"There is a very high degree of risk involved in trading securities. With respect to margin-based foreign exchange trading, off-exchange derivatives, and cryptocurrencies, there is considerable exposure to risk, including but not limited to, leverage, creditworthiness, limited regulatory protection and market volatility that may substantially affect the price, or liquidity of a currency or related instrument.

Fresh: Zac White – Spent On You
Cardiff based, 19 year old solo musician Zac White recently released his latest track 'Spent On You' which is a laid back, psychedelic-tinged track brimming full with infectious guitar melodies throughout. It starts off quite modestly before building into its chaotic, reverb-laden outro with only a bassline that cuts through it like a knife. 'Spent On You' is a lead track taken from the recently released split EP from both Zac White and Perfect Body.

But ultimately, the decision instead hangs in the balance between who maintains your database now and the plans you have for it in the future, according to Jim Wheaton, principal of Wheaton Group, a database marketing consultancy.

ideas, innovations and apps for social work in the age of smartphones and social media
Here are some quotes taken from a great article by Kat Ascharya (Mobileidea) that was published at maschable.com. The article shows the importance that mobile phones have for homeless:
His phone, then, functions as an important conduit. On the surface, it's his most important, practical tool. He can call places for work with it. He can call up shelters and other social services to see what's available. He calls public transportation to find out which bus lines are running and check out schedules.
Email and text are especially important features. He can reach out to friends to see if he can crash with them for a night or two, especially if the weather is rough. But he has to be careful. "You don't want to impose," he said. "You can't exhaust your friends. Otherwise they'll get tired of helping you, thinking, 'Why are you still struggling?'" The hidden worry is that you'll never leave.
Ironically, all this is easier to manage over text and email than the phone. "You don't have to worry about sounding upbeat and confident all the time," he said. No one wants to help out the hopeless, and sometimes it's not really so easy to disguise the worry and anxiety in your voice.
On another level, Bert said his phone connects him to less tangible, but still important, resources. He knows people can reach him, no matter where he sleeps at night. He gets daily e-mails from an online ministry, with inspirational messages and passages from the Bible. Those keep up his spirit and faith and keep him going. He can read news on the browser, too. Ironically, his biggest criticism of BlackBerry is the browser: it's slow and outdated, and most websites won't load on it anymore. He only gets a certain amount of time on the computer at the public library, so he often begins researching jobs and housing on his phone and makes a list of websites he wants to visit when he gets on a computer with a faster connection.
The phone also, in part, structures his day in an often chaotic life. He has an exhaustive list of places to charge his phone, and he makes sure to hit them at some point during the day. He's careful about his power and data usage and carries his charger at all times, in one of the capacious pockets of his army jacket. "When I see a free outlet somewhere, I have to say, it feels like Christmas," he said. Free Wi-Fi inspires the same feeling; he can save up his valuable data usage.
via: A Homeless Man and His BlackBerry
I completely agree! Recently helped someone get a phone and minutes. Makes all the difference in finding services!

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – A robust rise in euro zone real estate prices is contributing to signs of overvaluation, suggesting the need for policy measures in several countries to curb the property market, the European Central Bank said in a macroprudential bulletin on Wednesday.
"The current analysis indicates that residential real estate vulnerabilities relevant to macroprudential policy are present in a number of euro area countries," the ECB said.
"The continuation of observed trends in residential real estate markets in some countries suggests that further policy actions remain warranted in the near future," it added.

Cycling South Africa have announced a five-member team to represent the country at the upcoming UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships which take place in Maniago, Italy, from August 2 to 5.
The team is Toni Mould, Gary Coetsee, Pieter du Preez, Goldy Fuchs and Gerhard Viljoen.
Due to financial constraints within the federation, Cycling SA would be unable to assist with funding the team's participation at the event, a CSA statement said.
Cycling SA para-cycling commission director O'Ryan Bruintjies said as the UCI World Cups were also self-funded, the current world cup team was selected for the championships.
"We were not able to use the 2018 Para-cycling Road World Cup results to select a team for the 2018 UCI World Championships as this would penalise those riders who could not take part in the UCI World Cups," he said.
"As there are no further opportunities to evaluate riders for the UCI World Championships team it was proposed and accepted that the current UCI World Cup team be automatically selected."

Thank you to all of those who have helped us out with both the Food Drive and Christmas Angel Tree. Your generosity is much appreciated, and will greatly benefit some of our less fortunate families.
As the colder weather sets in, please remember to send your child to school with warm clothing. If you have any mittens or gloves to donate to the school, we can ensure that they will be put to good use.
We are happy to announce that the front entrance of the school is now open. All drop-offs and pick-ups should be at the front door. The metal railings and awning will be installed later in January.

Here are a few shots from Martin and Eliza's current tour where they played at the newly-refurbished Met in Bury, Greater Manchester. As with their previous tours, the set followed the track list of their Moral Of The Elephant album fairly closely – all but one song from the album (Queen Of Hearts) was played and only one (Queen Caraboo) was played out of sequence with how it appears on the album. Scattered amongst these songs were a few new (to me) songs of interest: Martin's solo spot in the first half featured Nancy Of London and Eliza's in the second half was a version of Stephen Foster's Nelly Was A Lady. They both played on Bendigo, Champion Of England, learned from the late Mike Waterson. The only other non-'Elephant' song was the encore of John Barleycorn.
A couple of interesting points were raised during the course of the show. Firstly, Eliza confirmed that Normafest will go ahead once more in January 2018 in both Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. This had already been confirmed on social media in the week leading up to the show but Eliza also confirmed that The Gift Band would play and that they are currently recording a new album. Secondly, Eliza revealed that as a result of a couple of recent duo gigs, Martin and Sam Sweeney were tentatively planning to record an album together. Sam's commitments with the National Youth Folk Ensemble preclude them from touring at present but he is keen for them to record and Martin seemed equally enthusiastic at the prospect. Watch this space!
First set:
His Servant Man
Blackwell Merry Night
Nancy Of London (Martin solo)
Grand Conversation On Napoleon
The Elephant
Second set:
Queen Caraboo
Waking Dreams (Awake, Awake)
Bendigo, Champion Of England
Nelly Was A Lady (Eliza solo)

Sports & Spinal Albury Osteopaths provide a client centred, evidence-based approach to each individual client that is unrivalled in Albury Wodonga. Our Osteopaths have not only completed 5 years training at University but they regularly attend ongoing professional development to make sure we maintain our commitment to help make Albury Wodonga the happiest, healthiest place to live in the world.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a unique form of "hands on" manual therapy which recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit.
Our holistic views mean we have a distinctive approach whereby we treat the whole body, not just the site of injury. Using skilled assessment and diagnosis, osteopaths can identify important types of dysfunction in your body.
Osteopaths then use a wide range of techniques including soft tissue massage, stretching, joint manipulation and mobilisation to treat injury, improve mobility, increase performance and restore health.
Our main point of difference from other Albury Osteopaths
At Sports & Spinal Albury our practitioners have completed various extra training in techniques such dry needling, cupping and kinesio taping to further enhance our ability to treat dysfunctions. All techniques are carefully chosen to suit you, the individual, with the aim of helping you recover quickly. We not only want to meet your goals, wants and needs, we want to exceed them.
But we don't stop there. Client education is always at the forefront of our treatment. We want you to really understand what can be done by you, through stretching, mobilisation, exercise or activity modification, to help increase injury healing times.
All this means you leave knowing what your problem is, how long it may take to get better, what you can do to help it and how you can prevent recurrence. The full package.

12-11-18 11:03:00,
This article was originally published by GR in November 2017.
For almost 2 decades, the US pursued a list of 'enemy countries' to confront, attack, weaken and overthrow.
This imperial quest to overthrow 'enemy countries' operated at various levels of intensity, depending on two considerations: the level of priority and the degree of vulnerability for a 'regime change' operation.
The criteria for determining an 'enemy country' and its place on the list of priority targets in the US quest for greater global dominance, as well as its vulnerability to a 'successfully' regime change will be the focus of this essay.
We will conclude by discussing the realistic perspectives of future imperial options.
Prioritizing US Adversaries
Imperial strategists consider military, economic and political criteria in identifying high priority adversaries.
The following are high on the US 'enemy list':
1) Russia, because of its military power, is a nuclear counterweight to US global domination. It has a huge, well-equipped armed force with a European, Asian and Middle East presence. Its global oil and gas resources shield it from US economic blackmail and its growing geo-political alliances limit US expansion.
2) China, because of its global economic power and the growing scope of its trade, investment and technological networks. China's growing defensive military capability, particularly with regard to protecting its interests in the South China Sea serve to counter US domination in Asia.
3) North Korea, because of its nuclear and ballistic missile capability, its fierce independent foreign policies and its strategic geo-political location, is seen as a threat to the US military bases in Asia and Washington's regional allies and proxies.
4) Venezuela, because of its oil resources and socio-political policies, challenge the US centered neo-liberal model in Latin America.
5) Iran, because of its oil resources, political independence and geo-political alliances in the Middle East, challenge US, Israeli and Saudi Arabia domination of the region and present an independent alternative.
6) Syria, because of its strategic position in the Middle East, its secular nationalist ruling party and its alliances with Iran, Palestine, Iraq and Russia,

Independent Frome MP wants to clarify government's controversial Mining Bill
Independent Frome MP Geoff Brock has called for an inquiry into mining land access.
He says his Bill would clarify the state government's controversial Mining Bill.
He launched a move in parliament to set up a commission of inquiry into land access regimes under the Mining Act and the Opal Mining Act and the operation of the energy and mining department.
The notice of motion was seconded by Independent Member Troy Bell,
Mr Brock said the government's Mining Bill was causing division and concern.
"There is support for my move from peak industry bodies including the Grain Producers SA and the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy who jointly called for an independent review into mining legislation earlier this year," he said.
"It was agreed at the time that a review should ... look at best practice land access frameworks in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia and I believe this is a critical way forward for South Australia.
"It is essential that we protect our farmers and their industry and listen to their concerns about the lack of protection of arable land which is reducing every year."
Under the Mining Bill, exploration would be allowed closer to homesteads - within 200 metres rather than 400 metres and landowners would face fines for obstructing access.
Mr Brock said he was giving notice that he was introducing his Bill for an Inquiry into land access regimes at the end of this month.
Discuss "Brock calls for mining land inquiry"

Nassau County Tax Grievance – Deadline March 1, 2016
Nassau County's real estate market is still recovering which should make most every Nassau homeowner's property values decline further this year. The one silver lining in that dark cloud- you might have a great shot at lowering your property taxes. If you think you've been over assessed, you have a right to protest the assessment – which could mean tax dollars in your pocket. Let's face it, in this economy, every dollar counts!
"Nassau County will not voluntarily reduce your assessed value"
The 2016 Tax Grievance season is here and it is setting up to be a big one! This is mainly due to another dismal year in the yet to recover Nassau County housing market. A bad thing if you are trying to sell, a great opportunity if you are thinking about grieving your taxes!
Get your property taxes lowered! Don't miss Nassau County's deadline!
Legislator David Denenberg of Merrick (Nassau County) told the following to Newsday;
"We've gotten to the point where the assessments make no sense. The reductions make no sense. The effect on your taxes makes no sense. And the only thing that makes sense is to challenge your assessment."
Don't forget to grieve your taxes this year!
We believe all Nassau County residents should heed the legislator's call to action and challenge your assessment.
Nassau County Facts
- Ranks #1 highest property taxes in America according to The Tax Foundation
- Use's complex property classification systems that can make the effective tax rates especially misleading, said Tim Hoefer director of the Empire Center
- Under NYS law filing a Property Tax Grievance cannot raise your Property Taxes
- Any homeowners in Nassau County that misses the Property Tax Grievance deadline of March 1st 2016, must wait until 2017
- If you want to lower your Monthly Mortgage Bill and save money, this is one of the easiest ways
- No one will visit your home from the Assessor's or our office
What is Property Tax Grievance?
Property tax grievance is a formal complaint filed against a town's assessed value on a particular parcel of property based upon comparable sales. The town places a value on every property. ie – $600,000 – if we can prove your home is worth less than that value, we will accept your grievance. If there are sales in your area that are equal and above that value, we will send you a letter stating that, in our opinion, you have no case. If a neighbor has a similar home, and has lower property taxes, it may mean that they are under assessed; it is not a basis for accepting your case. The easiest cases to win are those on homes that have been purchased within the last year or homes that are currently for sale. To help entice potential buyers we can supply a letter stating an estimated reduction for homes that are for sale.

Nassau County Tax Reductions ( Our Clients)
Appealing Your Property Tax Bill
Did you know that you can actually reduce your property's tax bill if you appeal the value assigned to your property by the taxman? In fact, it's the estimated value that is used for the purpose of calculating your taxes. If you want to reduce your taxes, the best way is to prove your property is worth less than its estimated value. Doing so is easy by researching online or calling your realtor. If in your research you discover that you're right about this, then the process for appealing can take up to 18-24 months to finalize.
Read your assessment letter
Nassau & Suffolk Counties regularly estimate the real estate they tax. This means that when they receive your estimation, it's going to contain info regarding your property (such as legal description and lot size), but also the estimated value of your land and property. To calculate your property tax, the local government will multiply your property's assessed value by the local tax rate (values vary from town to town). However, if you think that your home's value is a lot higher than its actual value, you should dispute it right away.
