SA Forum is an invited essay from experts on topical issues in science and technology.
Climate is back. On Monday Pres. Obama rolled out a plan to cut carbon emissions from power plants by 2030 to an average of 30 percent less than 2005 levels. His timing is in tune with public opinion. Now that the economy is recovering from the global financial crisis, new polls show that public concern is once again rising. Alarm bells from the scientific community are getting louder as well. The latest reports from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show that even though the science is getting stronger governments have done practically nothing to check emissions. In May, a massive U.S. government study that mobilized the best of American science showed how rising seas, stronger storms, longer droughts and other dangers will harm the country. Similar studies in many other countries, including China and India, carry similar warnings.
What should be done now that voters are refocused on the dangers of climate change? So far, the answer has mainly been regulation that tinkers at the margins. New energy-efficiency standards and regulations on power plants, such as the ones announced today, will play a role in slowing the growth in emissions. But regulation can only go so far. What's really needed is a new emissions tax—often called a "carbon tax" because the biggest cause of warming is atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide.
The case for a carbon tax begins with economic logic. Nobody knows which technologies will be most cost-effective when it comes to cutting emissions. Direct regulation almost guarantees that regulators will force the use of many technologies that will prove unwise. The new regulations allow for some flexibility, which is important, but they apply just to the electric power sector. New legislation that would create an economy-wide market-based strategy, like a tax, gives firms in all sectors the flexibility to choose and adjust.
Taxes aren't the only way to harness the power of the market. Another strategy is "cap and trade"—a scheme that involves setting limits on emissions and then letting firms trade the right to pollute. Because cap and trade uses markets, it's better than regulation. But in the real world cap-and-trade systems haven't aligned well with how real firms and governments make economic decisions. When emission quantities are capped, prices must float as markets equilibrate. That's why the European Union's cap-and-trade system, the world's largest, has seen prices that gyrate from $42 in 2006 to just about $7 today. Volatile prices have encouraged policy makers to craft endless schemes to manipulate the quantities of emission credits on the market—and thus prices. Those efforts, although well intentioned, send signals that policy decisions are not reliable. Carbon taxes, by contrast, fix the price and send much more credible signals to firms about just how much effort they should make to control emissions.
Practical policy, of course, doesn't always flow directly from wonky economic logic—politics is paramount. On this front the standard view has been that carbon taxes—because they are taxes—are political suicide for politicians seeking reelection. Regulation, by contrast, is better because it lets policy makers hide the cost of action. That logic needs to be taken seriously, but its wrong and shortsighted for two reasons:
One political advantage of taxes is that they generate huge revenues. Smart politicians know how to redirect those monies to build political coalitions. That's what Australian politicians did when they targeted more than half the revenues from the country's carbon tax to offset higher energy costs for low- and middle-income households, along with some of the funds for climate-specific research and development schemes. The Australian experience also reveals that even with the best political engineering it is still hard to sustain political support for costly policies—a problem that bedevils climate policy of all types. Smart political engineering to "recycle" the revenues of carbon taxes could be used here in U.S. by linking carbon taxes to popular tax reforms. The last major overhaul of the federal tax code was in 1986, and a growing array of politicians know that a new reform is overdue.
A second political advantage of carbon taxes is that their economic performance improves with scale. Direct regulation, because it is prone to error, almost guarantees a political backlash as policy becomes more aggressive and noticeable. Shortsighted politicians like direct regulation because its costs are hidden at first. Serious strategies for cutting emissions must think about the long term. As a carbon tax scales so does the revenue—expanding the opportunities for political engineering and making government more dependent on the income and less able to reverse course.
A fresh look at carbon taxes makes sense not just for national policy but also in America's engagement with the rest of the world. Less than one fifth of world emissions come from the U.S.; no strategy for stopping global warming will work without global engagement. In recent years, with gridlock in Washington, D.C., the rest of the world has come to doubt whether the U.S. can make credible commitments to solve global problems. A carbon tax, rooted in hard-nosed economic and political realities, can boost the country's credibility. That, in turn, can make it easier to put pressure on other big emitters such as China to do their parts as well.
Beyond Obama: A Climate Plan with Teeth
Cutting power plant emissions is helpful, but the magnitude of the climate problem warrants a carbon tax

thanks man. whatever i can do to help loll
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Prince, when are you gonna update this thread!!! lmao
Hey, I'm thinking of getting a new cologne this weekend.. What's something new that you can recommend?
Cologne: Hanae Mori and Dunhill
Watches: Breitling Crosswind Special with Navy face, Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra XL black face, Technomarine Chrono Magnum Red UF6, A/X Blue Rubber and stainless steel, A/x White Rubber and stainless steel
I'm a big watch fan and will continue to collect.
anyways some of the new colognes out there are mostly summer scents which is understandable considering summers upon us the ones I've smelt and i really liked are :
chrome azzaro sport that one is lighter then the chrome and has a citrus scent to it which i liked it stuck and when i got home a few hours later the smell was still on me so thats a + i could see myself wearing it on a summer night out with my friends or out on daytime walk with the girl, its not a scent that shouts out but everyone knows your there i give it an 8 and one im definitely adding to my collection
another one that unno if i mentioned it on here is prada the original one its been out for a while and has a soapy smell to it that for some reason is AMAZING one of my favorites that ive been out of for a while definitely getting it soon though hahah, also theres the burberry touch which is also AWESOME thats among the top 3-4 scent that ive smelled
also another new one that i like is burberry sport which i also find to be an intriguing scent as when i first smelled it it didnt stick on me and found myself naming reasons why i didnt like it but after smelling it my second time to the mall i liked it and i dunno why but when i sit there and smell it i liked it, i guess spraying the tester on myself helped influence my change of heart as i got the smell of the cologne myself and found it to be quite nice i give it a 7.8
also quick note SMELL VINTAGE BLACK the new kenneth cole that one is my favorite among the new ones 8.5
one last thing sly, since your a huge fan of i am king, smell the i am king of the night its pretty much the same thing just a little smoother, i would say stick with the original as the night version isnt much different and i didnt find it to be better. just giving you heads up so you dont get intrigued it buying it but i do recommend you smell it as its interesting to try and figure out what they changed from the original
BOOMS: chrome azzaro sport, burberry sport, burberry touch, vintage black, diesel men ( fist shape bottle. ) gucci by gucci, prada, jean paul gualtier
STAY AWAY!: gucci by gucci sport, burberry summer
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I got some Armani in a white bottle, don't remember what it is if it's just "Emporio Armani" or if it's "Code" (not Black Code). It's really good, spray it in the morning and it's still going when you go to bed. I wish I knew what it was for sure, it's running low and I need to get some more
and trill, i love watches im actually in the saving to get a movado watch =) and i cant wait hahah, and AX has some sick watches man the white one and the navy one are sick and im planning on getting both of them as well
ohh yea have you seen the new kenneth cole touch watches? they look too sporty at first but after looking at it and seeing it on my hand it looks pretty nice
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I think my next watch will be:
All my watches are sporty looking so I want something a bit classy when I get my pimp on. The Omega has been my default "classy" watch because of the clean lines, high polish and black face but it has a steel braclet so its still too sporty for certain outfits.
BTW, I think I am going to pick up the new Yves Saint Laurent...They had a smple in the new Men's Health magazine and it smelt really good on my skin.
Code is the obvious but 212 is also really nice and over hereat least lesser used.

LETTER- Please examine my Harrington theory
[Re: December 4 cover story: "On the trail: Harrington's body creates new mysteries, angles"]There is rampant speculation about the killer of Morgan Harrington. Until there is a cause of death consistent with murder, there is no killer.
What killer would leave a car parked while carrying a body even half a mile? There are too many other quick drop off sites in the remote area. There is something that would have caused Morgan to have a mental break and wander the ten miles to die of exposure.
Virginia Tech is having a problem with it. Since the Cho shooting there has been a suicide, a beheading murder in the grad center snack bar, and now this strange disappearance death. When will Tech investigate Subliminal Distraction?
L. K. Tucker
Montgomery, Alabama
65 comments
All of the professionals at this site who've investigated "Subliminal distraction" have found that it is nothing but pseudoscience.
Who's to say he carried and dragged the body. He may have killed her where the body was found. As far as i know exposure has been ruled out.
Tucker - good theory, but did u consider (like Jean implies) whether the killer could have walked Morgan out there?
Morgan was a small girl and anyway it could have been more than one guy carrying her there. "Buddy predators" -- how awful, hope they're caught soon. As far as the Virginia Tech shooter, that was yet another anti-depressant shooter. Even the latest shooter from Alabama was on anti-depressants, in fact SSRIs and other psych drugs are well-known as the number one cause of school shootings. Some of their side effects are suicide and HOMICIDE, they cause kids to lose empathy for other people. (I have a theory of my own, just like you on this -- it might not be the drugs themselves that are entirely to blame. Omega-3 deficiency is a common cause of depression. So if you drug someone instead of giving them Omega-3, won't that make them deteriorate even more as their deficiency becomes worse the entire time the drug is masking their symptoms?) The effect you're talking about here is probably true for some cases though -- when I think about it, some of my craziest co-workers from jobs in the past have been at compamies that didn't have high cubicle walls, including a girl who was almost fired for verbally attacking her boss for no apparent reason. But as far as Morgan's case -- it's pretty clear that it was sexual predation. Get used to it, it's ugly and hard to wrap your mind around people being that evil, but it's way too common these days. Rape drugs have made it even worse. Thanks for your theory though, it's probably true of some cases but not this one.
It is possible this is a local hunter from nearby, or from an outlying area; someone who preyed far enough from his own area, where his criminal reputation was probably known to local LE.
How do hunters get deer carcasses back to their vehicle? I am no expert, but I would venture to say they carry them. I believe this killer saw this place as a perfect hunting ground for wild animals, and the perfect place to dump a body. So, he had the place; he just waited for the opportunity to present itself, and a pretty girl hitchhiking at night was a dream come true for him. He already had his place, and now he had his victim. He already knew where he was going to hide his vehicle.
A person becomes quite stronger than their usual capabilities while under the influence of an adrenaline rush, which I am sure he had.
This person is a psycopath, I would venture to say. Someone with no conscience, someone with a low self esteem who needs to take control. He has no respect for women. He will do this again. It is only a matter of time. He is an opportunist. This is not the first time he has raped, but it might be the first time he has murdered. I am sure Morgan put up one heck of a fight, so he did what he thought he had to do.
I kind of can't believe The Hook is even giving this "subliminal distraction" theory focus. There may indeed be something amiss with Virginia Tech, but that wouldn't necessarily be it. Look instead at mind control if one wants a conspiracy theory about Virginia Tech and the various killers and kooks that have recently been connected to it. Blacksburg has all sorts of military stuff nearby and Virginia as a whole is closely connected with D.C. And as anybody who's researched mind control knows, where the military goes, mind control experimentation follows. Research MK Ultra, etc. if one is curious to learn more. But "sublimninal distraction"? I don't know about that, and I don't think whatever happened with Morgan has anything to do with any particular conspiracy. But that's just me and I could totally be wrong.
SERIOUSLY, are you kidding me? You have been trying to draw attention to yourself from DAY ONE. You are NOT VSP or LE, and you don't know all the facts like they do. Let them DO THEIR JOBS and stop spreading your pseudoscience bull where it is not welcome. You've been booted off boards before, and you're lack of consideration for the Harringtons is REALLY starting to piss me off. I'm so sick of people like you showing up trying to draw attention to themselves...not out of respect for Morgan, but for personal gain. To show off I guess. You can have your theory. But your THEORY as it is has been rejected time after time so why don't you try respecting the Harringtons and backing off, and posting ALL OVER THE INTERNET with this nonsense. You are entitled your opinion as am I, but the fact like you go everywhere you can to spread this THEORY and attach Morgan's name to it, is utterly disheartening. STOP THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF AND CONSIDER OTHERS, AND BACK OFF FROM THIS. I look for REAL news on Morgan's killer, YES KILLER, because her death was ruled a HOMICIDE, everyday. Don't lessen this incident. There is a killer, and maybe even a serial killer out there, attacking young women, and that is the focus here. Not delving in to the Twilight Zone to examine some theory about subliminal nature.
Tucker's ideas wouldn't be so crackpot if he actually tried to apply them to situations where they could be conceivably relevant.
I wonder how Tucker explains how Morgan Harrington managed to walk ten miles on a chilly night in a disoriented state on major roads and highways and not attract anyone's attention? Hundreds of motorists would have passed her walking on the side of Route 29, and yet not one has reported seeing her there.
Boo, there is a top secret DARPA mind control underground base at the Kimballton mine near Blacksburg. Both Cho and Hasan did "research" there. Harrington's father is a psychiatrist. Probably a coincidence, but not necessarily.
John, if you know about DARPA's underground mind control base, how then can it be "top secret"?
Could be that JG has spent some time there Hoolarious.
Oh, you mean the Kimballton research facility:
Sorry, no mind control, just physics and engineering:
Low Background Physics at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF)
The next generation of ultra-low radiactive background detectors will explore the frontiers of low energy neutrino physics, neutrinoless double beta decay and direct dark matter searches. These experiments all require construction materials and environments with minimal and tightly controlled radiactive contaminants. It is the goal of this counting facility to measure the radioactivity in typical detector components and materials such as copper, electronics, plastics, shielding materials, photomultiplier tubes, etc. to very low levels. We also anticipate that these measurements will be invaluable to upcoming experiments in the proposed Homestake Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL).
Hoolarious, I'm sure most people around the Blacksburg area know about the underground mind control base, and I'm sure most people don't know exactly what goes on at the base because it's DARPA, it's underground, and it's top secret. I have heard that both Seung Hui Cho and Major Hasan were associated with the base, and I don't believe Seung Hui Cho acted alone in the Virginia Tech massacre.
john, you don't seem to understand my point--it's not really top secret if most people around blacksburg (and you, as well) know about. that's kind of the opposite of top secret.
Mind control isn't needed to explain sexual predators, there are plenty out there who need no encouragement. And mind control is pervasive, in use more than most Americans would think. Read on...
"One day, Flanagan and his fellow science monkeys from the Pentagon were gathered at one of their homes, preparing to start some experiments. They often experimented at their homes, on their own time -- Flanagan once described why he believes that Jesus told people to love their enemies (often scientists are deeply religious). Flanagan once took frequency readings on both his wife and himself, and then started to think loving thoughts toward his wife. He noticed that his wife then started to emit the same "loving" frequencies. Thus, he said, Jesus told you to love your enemies because your enemies would then love you in return. I wonder if the experimenting on his wife thing contributed to his divorce... But I digress.
So Flanagan and his gang of science monkeys were taking a reading on the home's electrical ground, to get a baseline reading before they started their experiments for the day. At that particular moment, as fate would have it, in walked Dr. Lilly, inventor of the Lilly Wave -- a type of mind control wave that can enter the brain while evading detection by the human/animal receiving it. (There are other types of mind control waves, for example patents have been found for mind control technology based on bursts of microwaves and other methods, some probably more damaging to the person/animal than the Lilly Wave. Who knows what the government is using these days -- probably everything it has.) As soon as Lilly saw the electrical meter, he said, "How did you know about Lilly Waves?" Flanagan and the other scientists immediately knew what Lilly's remark meant. They looked at each other and said, "So THAT'S how they do it!" (Referring to at least one way the government delivers mind control waves to the masses -- through the electrical grid.)
The thing that amazed me most about Flanagan's story was that Dr. Lilly himself didn't know how his invention was being used! That's why I always tell kids who dream about discovering this or that, to think about the world of classified science and how their invention could be taken away from them and used by people with bad intentions. Flanagan had such an experience as a tender young teenager, when his science fair invention to detect nuclear launches (Flanagan modestly claimed it was simple triangulation) was seized and classified, with a friendly letter from Uncle Sam advising him that he'd receive death by firing squad for treason if he were to provide plans for that invention to anyone else. Incidentally, Flanagan thinks that invention is still in use today, mounted on satellites to detect nuclear launches from space."
- Footnote from "Virginia's Senatorial Race: Lessons of Life from Macaca-Land"
Did somebody say, "Macaca"?
It doesn't have to be classified "top secret" to be secret, and even if it was (and is) people would still know about it's existence. And most likely the shadow government is controlling our brain waves through radiation emitted from cell phone base stations (see "dual use towers"), not electrical grids. That's why we should take them all down immediately, but don't wait for Duane Snow to call for the immediate removal of all cell towers in Albemarle County anytime soon! (Hi, Duane)!
You people are really scaring me with all the neoscientifico-babble, or maybe I just do not have enough education to follow your train of thought. To me, some of you sound like you might be schizophrenic, paranoid type.
People, may I politely implore you to get back to the basics on Morgan's murder, and come back to earth???
Just exploring all the possibilities, bos. Got a problem with that?
John, I'm assuming that you are aware that there are live webcams of the research going on at the Kimballton underground facility, right?
Or do you think that all of the low background particle physics work is just a cover for the "top secret" "mind control" research?
First thanks to The Hook.
Some of you have not done your homework. Many of the issues raised in this thread are on my site. There is a new page, Site Summary, that covers the seven year investigation.
There have been other cases like this. Ron Tammen, Miami of Ohio, April 1953 has the most information. (Missing Students page for the link or read the Site Summary.)
No one has recognized that this is not just my theory. It is a problem discovered and solved forty years ago. I learned about it in college in the 1960's. I found a way to investigate using the Internet.
It is believed to cause a harmless episode of confusion in business offices.
My wife had this mental break in 2002. I saw it first hand. I was stunned to learn it is unknown by anyone in medicine or psychiatry.
To determine if this happened interview Morgan's roommate and study friends. She had to have created the "special circumstances" for exposure and used that location for weeks.
Fugue victims appear normal with normal strengths. They have mental confusion not physical disability. (Tammen had walked eleven miles when he was sighted for the last time.) It has been known for about three hundred years that a severe mental episode blocks the perception of cold.
There are other current cases. A high school student on the west coast went for a coffee break and vanished. Her car was found forty miles away parked, locked, with a single set of footprints walking away. Her body was found with her feet in the river about a week later. Police there are also looking for a killer. They probably won't find one.
What all of you should have done is examine your own computer workstations and study areas. Any one of you could have been in Morgan's place.
Email your friends and send them to VisionAndPsychosis.Net. Get their opinion.
Ask the President of Virginia Tech or Dr.Spencer why they didn't investigate when I warned them.
How many people must die before Tech acts?
Does your school offer Cubicle Level Protection or warn students about Subliminal Distraction?
Again, thanks to The Hook.
Uh, Tucker, you are aware that the Hook's most recent article suggests that the Harringtons, police, and medical examiner view the death as a homicide and know the cause of death but have chosen not to release this information yet, aren't you?
It's interesting that according to his explanation L.K. Tucker is the real villain here. He's uncovered the cause of many horrible tragedies and yet he still refuses to publish his amazing findings in academic or medical journals. How many more people must supposedly perish due to "subliminal distraction" before he shares his insight in scientific form?
Oh, so there's webcams at the top secret mind control base. I guess I must have had a paranoid episode. Thanks for clearing up all of my concerns about DARPA!
Following his arrest, Giuliano says a Region 10 counselor interviewed him before recommending he be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital in Petersburg. Citing confidentiality laws, Region 10's Buzz Barnett would not comment on the situation, noting only that involuntary commitment is a rare step reserved for situations when other measures fail. But Giuliano says once doctors believed he wasn't having homicidal thoughts-- 10 days after his arrival-- they released him.
Despite his frustration with his experience at the wall, Giuliano says he won't hesitate to visit it again.
"I'll reiterate that I'm still having those thoughts in a different way," he says. "You can't be afraid to make mistakes in life."" (Courteney Stuart, The Hook, February 1, 2007)
When I was "arrested", what was I charged with? Hitting below the belt?
John, you were arrested as a potential danger to the community, but not charged in an arraignment.
Detention without charges, in other words. And tortured as well. Not that I hadn't endured the same more than once before, and not that I couldn't endure the same again. It's what champions are made of.
Yes, champions like Bobby Fischer.
And Bobby Chacon, too. Hell, if you can defeat Jesus you can defeat anyone.
When you write that you are "entertaining serious thoughts of going down to the local abortion clinic on Hydraulic Road, killing the guards, entering the facility and summarily executing the babykiller," in a very public place, then you are pretty much asking to be arrested. That's especially true when you finish up with "My AK47 is neither registered nor illegal, but it is loaded and ready to rumble." Some people might ask why that would only lead to a 10 day detention rather than a much longer one.
The spot where she was found indicates that she was alive until she got to that spot.
Someone would have to be incredibly strong
to carry 120 pounds of "dead weight"
at least a mile. She probably ran from her attacker until that spot, or she was made to walk to that spot, where she was attacked, or she may have jumped or somehow escaped from a vehicle and made it to that spot before she died.
About how long should have I been detained and tortured without charges, hoaxmenot? For that matter, how long should anyone?
Evidently hard drugs are very available to the above readers of The Hook..............
Not to sound preachy, but thinking something and actually doing it are two different things. I wouldn't be half as frightened by someone who just THOUGHT about things he never did, but I'd really try to avoid meeting Morgan's attacker(s) if I knew who they were, even if I were armed. And homicidal thoughts can be caused by all sorts of things, not just SSRIs. Exposure to lead is one of them -- leaded gasoline was seen as a big reason for all of the crazy pointless violence in the 70s. Certain vitamin/mineral/EFA deficiencies, caffeine, sugar, and other bad dietary habits can contribute to all sorts of aggression problems similar to that. The important thing to do is seek help if you think you'll have trouble controlling yourself. Also research your condition and see how you got there. Political beliefs are one thing, but a person can take constructive instead of destructive action because of them. Harming people will alienate people to your cause. Activism to get new types of support for single mothers will make people feel better about your visison. Lots of people would LIKE to kill someone, some people in the community haven't been shy about saying what they'd LIKE to do to Morgan's attackers when they're found. But I'm sure they'll all leave it to the court system to prove guilt... and then probably kill them anyway through a death sentence!
When was the last time a gangsta rapper was "arrested" for being a "potential danger" to the community due to the nature of his/her lyrics? Never, because gangsta rappers don't rap about popping abortionists with their gat, they rap about popping their rivals with their gat, and stupid abortion loving yuppies don't give a damn about the lives of gangsta rappers, although they revere abortionists like local heroes. And what does "potential danger to the community" mean, anyway? Answer: whatever the cop with the pistol, tazer, mace and billy club wants it to mean. Also, the thoughts I expressed were not homicidal thoughts, they were thoughts of executing justice. I didn't write that I was thinking about murdering the baby killer, I wrote I was thinking about summarily executing the baby killer who to this day is still murdering babies in the community. I take my fish oil, food based vitamins, however I did grow up drinking fluorinated water until I found out at 23 why it is really added to the public water suppy. Fluorosilicic acid, among many horrible other things it does, decreases the blood/brain barrier for lead and aluminum. Don't let your kids drink tap water, ever. Let's hope we get justice for all, including Morgan.
Run! The DARPA Initiative took her to The Island! None of this is reality! She's still alive! Someone find the wheel so we can move the continent and get to her before it's too late.... The Others! The Others!....
Um, what'd you say? DHARMA Initiative, not DARPA? Just something on a TV SHOW???? What???!?
Seriously, does Lost make more sense than this periphal subliminal whatsis? How horrible for the Harringtons to be harrassed... Um... Peripherally... by this nonsense.
"Also, the thoughts I expressed were not homicidal thoughts, they were thoughts of executing justice. I didn't write that I was thinking about murdering the baby killer, I wrote I was thinking about summarily executing the baby killer who to this day is still murdering babies in the community."
To answer your question from above, it looks like you shouldn't have been let out yet.
I'm glad I can't see how you look to me. I can only imagine how you would look if you say these things to my face.
More threats of summary execution?
More libel?
more on the subject of threats and subsequent detention-
More on pussies who are happy to libel me all day long on the internet but wouldn't dare call me out: See above.
Has anyone thought it unusual for Morgan to use the expression 241?
The 241 comments she made seem like very contrived meanings; who really say's "love you two, four-ever, once more."
It seems more like some code speak or double talk to someone.
Her father is an MD in psychiatry and associate dean at Virginia Tech.
Some other things to consider: "inaction of her friends," "strange behaviour (drawing attention) at concert," "No security footage."
The circumstances, reaction of people at the concert, reactions afterwards seem very contrived. I don't question the parents behaviour at all, but why don't they blame Metallica hired security for not letting her back in?
It just doesn't make sense- kinda like 9/11. Picture Bush at the K-garten class reading a book and looking like a skunk who already knew what happened.
We know the planes hit the building, but who planned the damn thing? Alot of people think it was an inside job to rob Americans of their civil liberties.
Strange thing: read 18 USC 241
How do they take away civil liberties?
They have to convince the people that it would be safer for them and their children if we didn't have any.
...There's a large part of our society that actually thinks the rights of others somehow threatens their existance. They would do anything in their power to change that, never thinking of who's pulling the strings.
Dan Harrington's not only a psychiatrist, but he's also an Associate Dean at Virginia Tech, home of The Kimballton Underground DARPA Mind Control Base ? It's starting to sound less coincidental every day.
Well said Tcars, I've quoted before in another thread, this from Ben Franklin:
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Let's again examine the re-entry policy at JPJ.
For real this time not just to give it lip service. I know, I know, the policies exist all over the country, ever since 9/11. But we are the town with a killer on the loose, a predator. And this policy is clearly a contribution to the disappearance, and subsequent murder of of a young girl. We should, We can do better
Smells like it to me.
And I thought we were talking about Morgans case. Silly me.
We were talking about a crackpot theory. Didn't you read the letter?
Cool, Bush did it............
concealed carry works very well
I see you all have your tinfoil hats on here. I thought this was about Morgan Harrington. My bad.
Perhaps Dan Harrington, as associate dean of psychiatry at Virginia Tech, can tell us all what goes on down there at MK Ultra headquarters.
That's classified information. Silly me.
This is the most surreal exchange I think I've ever read on The Hook. o_O
Truth is stranger than fiction, isn't it?
I posted a piece regarding Morgan Harrington's homicide on my Web site, The Spingola Files (www.badgerwordsmith.com click "Spingola Files" and scroll down).
Sold physical evidence likely exists pertaining to Morgan's disappearance, such as the data from her cellular telephone. If properly obtained, the GPS information should provide Morgan's last known location before the suspect dislodged the battery. If L.K. Tucker would have taken the time to sift through what evidence is public, it is plain to see that this young woman didn't take a ten mile stroll after disabling her own cell phone.
This is a killer(s) who has done his research on cellular telephone technology. He is a fairly sophisticated white male with an upper middle-class background and a post high school education. The suspect has fantasized about such an abduction, as well as the power and control of taking a human life. The fantasies the killer experiences are very powerful and persisted to the point of action. Based on what I've read, I'm speculating that the killer probably resided near the farm in the past but no longer lives in the area.
These types of individuals generally go through a cooling-off period until the fantasies reemerge, causing him to kill again.
I agree that L.K. Tucker should focus on cases where actual evidence supports a particular theory. I recently posted an article on my Web site regarding the deaths of nine young men in La Crosse, Wisconsin, which Tucker was quick to link to other causes. My suggestion is this: search for evidence and refrain from cherry picking facts that support a particular theory.
I am utterly disappointed that you all are STIL going on about this crap. Maybe somewhere it is relevant but not in Morgan's case. And you all need to have better respect for the Harringtons, because I could assume they do not appreciate this mumbo jumbo that you're throwing out there to satisfy your curiosity and cause a ruckus. Get off your high horse, and have some respect for the recently deceased and her family. This is ridiculous.
Mr. Spingola, I agree. Morgan's killer is a disturbed person with strange thoughts. I hope the police catch a break in the case or he may strike again.
After reading several postings on how Miss Harrington ended up on a remote part of a 700+ acre farm, i think there are some things worth listing. Some hunters have posted the possiblity of dragging the body. This does not seem possible because i think i read somewhere where there was a bracelet or some piece of jewlery still with the body. Dragging someone for that distance and type of terrain would make keeping any item intact very hard. Dragging dead weight that far would serve a killer no purpose plus the agony and fatigue would be tough to deal with. The party theory would also be difficult to cover up unless there was a promise of a party and the party included only say 2 or 3 people. A party with several folks there would leave more than one witness and someone surely would have came forward with info. Then there is the all terrain vehicle (ATV) that can navigate and travel all over said farm. Someone could come in the front entrance and drive one right up to the location and leave the body. The woods, hills and streams surrounding the mentioned back side home addition may have ATV trails throughout the area leading up close to the farm where the body was found. If they came in that way, then the body could have been carried there by, say two people if they were somewhat close. Where i live there are woods and there are ATV trails everywhere. The location would not be as difficult to get there with some type of 4 wheeler or side by side. The only things left to figure out is did they come in the front way or the back side of the farm. Who is the one who knows this farm well enough to try this and not be noticed?? I think those involved considered this place very convenient and and not that difficult for them to access??
Every so often I google for news on this case, hoping that they've finally caught the young lady's killers. Nothing new lately, so I looked at some of the recent comments on older articles. I found the scenarios by Steve Spingola and D. Turner interesting, and found the Spingola article here -- he's apparently an old police detective and has experience in profiling predators:
Incidentally, I should add that I like D. Turner's post because of this -- it makes sense based on my own experience. Years ago I lived in a rural area where ATVs were popular, and I can tell you that a lot of those riders are really, really bold. They have no qualms about going on other peoples' property. I know -- I had to put up with them at my little rented house, where apparently the ditch near the road was a part of their "trail." There were even times at night, in a rural area with sparse street lighting, where I'd be driving along and suddenly one of them would emerge from a ditch and cross the road right in front of me. They were incredibly hard to see, often on a black ATV with black and silver clothing -- if it weren't for the silver stripes, I wouldn't have even seen them. The point is, some ATV guys are really nervy, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are ATV riders who use parts of that property without being known to the owner.

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) has jumped on the international bandwagon of Universities giving their courses away for free, with a 12-week Computing 1 course starting today.
Available here, the course will be taught by Associate Professor Richard Buckland, an academic who specialises in security, cyber crime and cyber terror.
At five hours a week, the workload is a little heavier than that imposed by some other free online courses. Another difference is the lack of a certificate of accomplishment, a token offered by some of the other Universities running similar courses online through services like Coursera.
The course is billed as an entry-level affair for non-programmers. Over the course of the course students will tackle the following topics:
- abstraction, estimation, programming, machine code, C, problem solving
- top down design, arithmetic expressions, layout, style++
- types, variables, memory other numeric types
- while and for loops, stack frames, arrays...
While highly-regarded in Australia, Reg readers beyond antipodean shores may wonder why it is worth considering studying Computing 1 at UNSW.
One answer is the Centre for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology at the University's School of Physics, as the Centre is at the forefront of global quantum computing efforts, as The Reg has often reported. There's no link your correspondent can discern between the online course and the Centre, but if you need any proof the University is likely to put on a decent course, perhaps that will be enough. ®

Remembering September 11th
Originally posted on Sept. 11, 2008
I venture to say that every American born before 1955 remembers where they were and what they were doing the day they heard President Kennedy was shot. (I was in Jr. High science class.)
Likewise, for Americans born before 1995 or so, that morning we heard about the attacks on the Twin Towers will be forever fixed in our psyches.
We were heading back from our Way out West Yellowstone vacation--hadn't had a TV or radio on in weeks. Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota was our last stop. But as we approached the monument's parking lot, we were met by a Park Ranger, blocking the entrance. He told us to move on. That is odd, we thought. At the second parking lot we asked the Ranger at the barricade why we couldn't park, since Mt. Rushmore is always open.
I will never forget his reply. We are closed because of the terrorist attacks in New York and don't know if there will be others on prominent American landmarks. (Mr. Rushmore was considered a possible target.)
We could see he was not in the mood to chat, so we drove on and quickly turned on the radio. Unbelievable. We listened, but could not process what was transpiring on the east coast. It was very surreal--especially because we were far from home.
After topping off our gas tank and visiting the ATM we talked about what we should do. Go home? Stay put? We opted for staying in South Dakota. Plus, if things really went crazy, we figured better to be in a hotel than stranded on the road.
Numb, we muddled through the day, visiting Custer State Park, with the car radio on.
Our son was 12 years old at the time. My husband and I yearned to tell him everything would be alright. But in all honesty, we couldn't. We just did not know what lay ahead. The only thing we could assure was that it was in God's hands: 2 Chronicles 32:8 came to mind.
"With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles."
We were all Christians, ready to meet our God. If He chose to protect us, great. If not, so be it.
Our nation held its collective breath, waiting for something else to happen after those first 4 plane crashes. Thank God, it didn't.
After a few days, we started our trek home. Just as there are no atheists in foxholes, we saw "God Bless America" signs pop up everywhere--from gas stations, to fast food restaurants, to city hall marquis. People instinctively knew we needed divine intervention.
I really thought we could be in for a string of attacks. That life in America would come to resemble life in Israel, where attacks and explosions are commonplace.
But amazingly, we have been incident free. I attribute our safety to 2 things: God's grace and President Bush. Whatever you may think about the Bush administration, it is quite remarkable that we have not suffered another attack. It certainly isn't because the terrorists have forgotten about us.
"America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!"
This is a day to remember and a time to pray for our nation, leaders, and families that lost loved ones.

Troy Kingsbury's Street Stock race car, nicknamed the Green Lantern, has been making the rounds at elementary schools in the Mad River Valley and beyond as part of a new program called Race to Read, which uses the flashy and exciting sport of car racing to create hype for a less visually stunning but equally exciting sport—reading.
Kingsbury, who owns The Village Grocery in Waitsfield, first heard of Race to Read when its creator Tyler Jordan, a 15-year-old from North Carolina, entered it into a video contest.
"What a great idea for someone that age to come up with," Logan Cooke, media director for Race to Read in The Valley, said when Kingsbury first told him about the new initiative down south. "And it's something we can do here," Cooke said.
Kingsbury and his team have since visited eight elementary schools in and around The Valley (including those as far away as Braintree Elementary School) to publicize the Race to Read program they developed for the region.
Race to Read asks students to read 15 books in their free time, and in exchange they get to sign the hood of Kingsbury's race car. "As motivation, we actually bring the car to the schools," Cooke explained. "Once we made that physical connection with the kids they became more interested."
Kingsbury plans his race car entrance to coincide with students' recess time, and he is sure to rev the engine as much as possible. "That idea came from Troy saying, 'If I were a 10-year-old, how would I want a race car showing up at my school?'" Cooke explained, laughing.
So far, Mad River's Race to Read team has collected over 100 signatures on the hood of Kingsbury's car, and they are excited to see students sharing books they've read as part of the program with their friends.
"As more and more new technology comes up, kids are going to start losing incentive to want to read," Cooke explained, stating that he has noticed this already in his work as the technical coordinator in a local elementary school. "The key is to have a program to create an incentive (to fight illiteracy)," he said, and that's what the race cars and the revving are for.
"Our biggest goal was to make [Race to Read] a program that kids would want to do but that wouldn't make a lot of extra work for the teacher," Cooke said, and now Race to Read is expanding independent of schools, as children who demonstrate progress on their Race to Read forms can bring them to Thunder Road SpeedBowl in Barre and be entered into a raffle to win even more prizes.
"The goal is to keep a lot of kids trying every week, reading one or two books," Cooke said.
Children and their families can find out more information about Race to Read and download forms to participate in the program at their website: racetoread.org.

Sarah Palin waded into California senate race last month when she endorsed Carly Fiorina. Now, she's jumped into the gubernatorial race, too.
Palin took aim at Democratic candidate Jerry Brown during a segment on the Fox Business Network. She said that she didn't believe Jerry Brown's campaign promise that he'd only raise taxes by ballot initiative.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I guess I don't have enough grace to apply to Jerry Brown," Palin said. "Look what he did when he was governor."
Brown's camp quickly turned it into a fundraising opportunity, creating a 90-second web video juxtaposing Palin's claims with his actual accomplishments from his two terms as California governor in the late 70s/early 80s -- 1.9 million jobs created, $4 billion in tax cuts and a $5 billion rainy-day fund.
Palin's support helped Fiorina will the Republican primary -- which helped cement Palin's role as GOP kingmaker. She hasn't endorsed Meg Whitman, Brown's opponent, but this her early Brown-bashing suggests that might come down the line. The question remains, though, if her influence hold in the broader-based general election.

New Guns N' Roses Song 'Going Down' Surfaces Online, Gets Taken Down
While the details are very scarce, a previously unreleased Guns N' Roses song called 'Going Down' surfaced online today (Aug. 20), raising many questions regarding its existence. However, it was quickly taken down by the band's record label.
The song features GN'R bassist Tommy Stinson on vocals while Axl Rose can clearly be heard in the background offering up some backup vocal support throughout the clip. Sonically the clip is reminiscent of vintage Guns N' Roses.
While it hasn't been confirmed whether this is a new track the band is working on or something from an older recording session, Metal Insider reported that guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal did confirm on Twitter that the song was definitely a Guns N' Roses tune. That tweet has since been deleted from Bumblefoot's Twitter feed only adding to the mysterious nature of the previously unreleased song.
We did hear the tune right before it got removed from YouTube and will update this post if it surfaces again.

In the deadly game of international espionage, elite anonymous operatives wage secret wars for power, information and national security. Agendas are rarely what they seem. Word has recently been circulating in these exclusive ranks of an ingenious new assassination device. Microscopic and injectable, it lies dormant inside its victim until activated and then kills in an instant, leaving no trace. In the frantic race to obtain this device, only two individuals, sworn enemies, have the skill, talent and tenacity to succeed. One is an agent known only by the code name Sever. Lethally trained to be the perfect weapon, Sever is precise and relentless in her pursuit of a goal. The other is the brilliant and determined former FBI man-hunter Jeremiah Ecks. Once preeminent in his field, Ecks resigned from the agency when his wife was killed in an explosion that left him a guilt-ridden emotional shell of himself. Now, forced back into service by his former mentor for the most challenging assignment of his career, Ecks prepares to face off against agent Sever, his most formidable foe.

One of my sweet gigs is picking wines for the Red Brick Café here in Guelph. Friday night was selection night – kinda like America's Got Talent, except the wine is auditioning and I'm not on TV. So in another very real way it's not like America's Got Talent at all. My wife and I met with 5 Red Brick employees, 5 red wines, and selection night began.
Selecting wines is like being the Westminster Kennel Show judge. All the dogs you inspect are fine animals but do they properly represent their breed? Beagles are to be compared with the ideal Beagle, Huskies with the ideal Huskie, and so on. One of the good things about selecting wines is that you don't have to inspect a dog's bum.
Back to my point – If you pick a Cabernet Sauvignon it needs to taste like a Cabernet. The one we tried was tasty but it would have been misleading to put on a wine menu. It was too grassy and green for a Cab Sav. We also tried a Shiraz that was good but not big enough for what I want an Aussie Shiraz to taste like.
In the end we chose 2 great red wines to go with the harvest white wine we selected back in the Spring. They unveil later this week at the Red Brick Café.

Clues from the wreckage from US Airways Flight 1549, which crashed in the Hudson River, are going to the best investigators in the world: the black boxes to the National Transportation Safety Board, the engines to the manufacturer's experts and a bird feather to a Smithsonian museum.
ByMatthew L. Wald
The New York Times
The National Museum of Natural History in Washington may not leap to mind when both engines on a high-tech plane quit at 3,200 feet. But around the corner from the stuffed African elephant that greets the visiting hordes of schoolchildren, down a back hall from the employee bike rack, a staff of four in the Feather Identification Lab took in samples from 4,600 bird-plane collisions, or bird strikes, last year. Arriving mostly in sealed plastic bags, these included birds' feet, whole feathers or tiny bits of down, and pulverized bird guts, known as snarge.
Correctly identifying the species involved in a bird strike can be important, said Carla J. Dove, the lab's director. "If people know the cause of a problem, they can do something about it," she said. "If you have cockroaches, you don't call an ant exterminator."

Think of this comic strip as a warning for everybody with a YouTube account who's going to get an iPhone 5 and record a video of them unboxing it. Don't do it. It's weird. It's silly. It's not a thing anymore. And it might be even a little pervy.
I'll admit it, I was once curious to see unboxing videos of gadgets I wanted but now? In 2012? Dude, come on. Nothing screams more forever alone than an unboxing video. There are no more surprises. I'll tell you what's going to be inside the iPhone 5 box: an iPhone 5. A cable to charge the iPhone 5. And that's it. There's no golden ticket inside so you can meet a hologram Steve Jobs or cook with Cook. It's just an iPhone and everyone else will have that same iPhone and no one freaking cares about an unboxing video anymore.*

http://deadpubs.co.uk/ The Historical street and Pub history directory of London, Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Middlesex, Suffolk, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Sussex, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Devon and Dorset.
This historical street & Pub history directory is built around the historical Pubs and churches. It ignores postal codes, which are a fairly modern addition. The site begins by listing Pubs before the 1900's, in their original church parishes. It continues with the addition of postal codes where appropriate, with all Pubs added in relevance to their original church parish. As confusing as this may sound, it is actually a good and fair system; and places a Pub or street in the correct locality. This historical Pubs site links the history of the Pubs to the many street name changes in London & the south east over about a century of change.

General Guidance
Accessing the Index and the Records
'A Place in the Sun' was started in 2003 by a team of volunteers. It is an index to a part of the series of Sun Fire Office policy registers held at Guildhall Library (Guildhall Library Ms 11936). The index to 125 volumes (nos. 419-560) of the policy registers, covering the period 1800-1839, is available via the National Archives website. Work is continuing on earlier volumes.
Each register contains details of around 1500-2000 policies issued from the Sun's London offices. Most of the policyholders lived in London or insured property held there, but a substantial number of country properties is also included.
General Guidance
The index is intended as a guide to the contents of the registers and not a substitute for the original records. It is up to the user to interpret the information found. The index includes the date and number of the policy, the volume number of the policy register in which the entry is contained, the policyholder's name, address, occupation or status, and any special capacity in which the policy was taken out (e.g. as executor or trustee). Names and occupations of other people mentioned (such as resident landlords or tenants) are also indexed. The location of the property insured, which might be land or chattels, is given where it differs from the address of the policyholder and is sufficiently specific. Also indexed are the names of insured vessels, with their masters where given. The index does not include details of other moveable property insured (except specified works of art or literature), amounts insured or premium payments. These can be found in the original register entries.
Some of the entries are very complex, and the following rules have been adopted to help the user interpret the information:
Wherever possible the index follows the clerk's spelling of place, street and personal names. In formulating a search, it should be born in mind that, like a personal name, a street or place name may take more than one form. For example, there are alternative spellings of some place names (e.g. Marybone, Rotherithe, Kilbourn). Some, such as Horselydown and Chingford, attract several variants, as do some provincial place names. Street names such as Pulteney, Rosoman or St Ann's also attract variants. Names such as Spitalfields or Coldbath may be spelled as one or as two words.
Modern county names are given their modern spellings (e.g. Surrey, not Surry; Gloucestershire, not County of Gloster) but superseded names (e.g. county of Southampton) appear as in the registers.
No attempt has been made to gloss place names as understood when the registers were compiled. Many street names, like numbers, have been changed, and locations may not have their modern connotation. For example, Regent Street in the West End may occur in the registers as Regent Street St James's, whereas 'Regent Street Westminster' refers to what is now Regency Street, off Horseferry Road. 'Soho' may extend north of Oxford Street, and there are several area names now obsolete, for example 'Foundling' (near the Foundling Hospital); 'Hospital Fields' (behind the London Hospital, Whitechapel); 'Middlesex Hospital' (part of Marylebone).
Accessing the Index and the Records
To consult the index go to the National Archives website. You can use the search bar that you see at the top right hand side of the home page. Enter your search term in the box. You can enter a personal name, address, place name or occupation, but to ensure that the Place in the Sun records are given priority in the search, include the word 'insured' in the box with your specific search term. This will produce a list of relevant results which you can click on to obtain the full manuscript reference and policy number (in the form Ms 11936/123/123456).
The Sun Fire Office policy registers are available for consultation at Guildhall Library free of charge until 12pm on 17th April 2009. They can be seen without prior appointment or special permission, Monday to Saturday, 9.30am - 4.45pm (last orders for manuscripts at 4.30pm; on Saturdays manuscripts cannot be produced between 12 noon and 2pm). Documents will usually be made available within 15 minutes of being requested. After the closure they can be consulted on similar terms at London Metropolitan Archives (though on fewer Saturdays).
Scans of individual policies can be ordered. Orders should be on an official reprographics order form and accompanied by payment in full. Please email the Manuscripts Section with details of the number of policies you wish to order and your country of residence, so that the cost of copying and postage can be worked out.

- 1 Medium leek
- 1/2 an onion
- 1 tbsp groundnut oil
- Minced beef
- 1 cup Beef or Lamb stock
- 1 tbsp Chopped celery
- 1 tsp tomato puree
- 1 Clove of garlic
- 2 Bird's eye chili peppers
- 1 small lemon
- 1 tbsp Mixed herbs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Ground Black or mixed peppercorns
- tbsp=Tablespoon, g=grams, tsp=tea spoon
- Wash, then slice a medium sized leek. Each slice should be about 2 cm thick.
- Add leek to a saucepan of simmering water. Keep water simmering and reduce the temperature if the water starts to boil.
- Halve an onion, remove the skin then chop half of the onion into small cubes.
- Add groundnut oil to a frying pan on a low heat and wait for the oil to sizzle. When you hear a sizzling noise, add the chopped onion to the frying pan. Wait for the onion to turn very slightly brown, then add to the saucepan.

This seems totally legit: a van plastered with images of busty women in low cut sexy nurse uniforms and festooned with pink ribbons is currently driving around New York City offering to show women how to properly examine their breasts. This is what happens when we cut funding to low cost women's health clinics: women who can't afford to go to the doctor have to resort to being felt up for free in porn vans.
The site sponsoring the breast awareness van (omission of the word "cancer" was deliberate) is Porn Hub, and today and today only can interested women have their breasts felt up by porn star Bree Olson. For free! Step right up, ladies and laddies!
I'm no boner expert (I only dabble in boners), but it seems like even though breasts exude eroticism to many straight men, the thought of breasts that are full of tumors seems like it may be sort of a bonerkiller. And a porn site probably doesn't want to associate itself with the murder of boners. Or, uh, murdery vans.

I use to use Sprint TV all the time on my Blackberry 8330. I had not really used it much with my BB 9850, but I just received a text message yesterday from Sprint stating that it was now possible to view Sprint TV over wifi. Previously it was only available over the Sprint network. I had stopped using it because on 3G it as not a good signal and I had forgotten about it truthfully when I went to the 9850.
I sent a tweet to Sprint Care yesterday (https://twitter.com/#!/havertyj/stat...60825991987200) to see if it should be working over wifi for the Blackberry 9850.
When I try it currently on my phone with wifi turned on, I get the following notice:
Does anyone else have any information on whether the text Sprint sent yesterday regarding Sprint TV now being allowed on wifi network being available on Blackberry devices? Maybe it is a update that needs to be released for the Sprint TV app to make it so that works, but currently, I am not having any luck.Due to content restrictions, Sprint TV & Movies content can only be viewed over celluar network.
Although Wi-Fi may be enabled on your device, Sprint TV & Movies will only be using your cellualar connection

Dear Client,
We thank you for taking the time to visit Arthur. Your answers provide us an insight into your portfolio assisting us to help you in getting started using Arthur. Before proceeding please download your app by searching for Arthuronline on the app stores or clicking on the links below.
Whilst you are using Arthur please feel free to ask for any help/advise from the online chat. Our office hours are Monday-Friday 9.00 am until 5.30 pm. Any questions asked after office hours will be replied to by next working day. Alternatively our office number is +44207 112 4860 if you wish to talk further.
This set up guide is simply a starting point. We ask you to use the desktop version for the purpose of getting going. You may also find that within many of the links that there is a mobile app component to the knowledgebase answers. We are consistently upgrading the knowledgebase answers to include a mobile component.
It would be worthwhile inviting members of your team so that they are logged into the system early so they can download the app and start to interrogate the data.
When adding a property in Arthur you are creating the asset which contains your rent-able unit/s. This asset could be;
*This shows for illustrative purposes residential units but the same applies to commercial units
The first thing is to add your properties and there underlying rent-able unit/s. As you own a mixture of single lets and multiple lets, your set up will be slightly different in each case. Please note if you own flats in a block but you do not manage the block (underlying property asset) then set the flats up as single unit properties.
The next stage is to add your tenancies to your rent-able units. There are many places within Arthur to add your tenancy to the unit. The link below will show you how. But first I have also included a link to understanding the tenancy status which I would like you to look at first as this is very important in your journey with Arthur.
The link below will show you how to create your tenancy step-by-step.
*Step 4 of adding a tenancy: Charges*
As you reach step 4 of the "add a tenancy" screen you will be required to enter the tenancy rent charges. You will be using "Direct rent" when setting rent collections for tenancies you are managing for yourself, including Rent to Rent.
As you are managing commercial units, Arthur allows a custom rent collection frequency to be set up outside of normal residential rent frequencies (see the article "creating a bespoke rent collection frequency").
At this stage you are not ready to invite your tenants we will cover this later.
Arthur allows you to set up any number of recurring rent collections in a tenancy ensuring that Arthur matches what you receive in your bank.
In this scenario you instruct an agent to collect the rent and deduct commission on remittance to you. Arthur needs to connect the rent collected to the commission charged for that month and allocate them to one another so that monies received tie up.
As you use agents to source your tenants, invite the agent to your account. This allows you to make the available unit accessible to the agent so they can:
This will reduce your workload when dealing with the agents. Speak to us further should you want to do this.
When you feel ready, I suggest you invite your tenants and contractors. Before inviting them please speak to them so they know to expect an invitation to your account. Inviting your tenants will only serve to further improve the relationship. The app is incredibly well received by the tenants according to research. Research showed that the technology made the tenants feel they had a landlord that they could trust.
The contractor application is also well received by those that welcome technology. For those a little more resistant Arthur will deliver the jobs by email to which they have buttons to accept or turn down. Below`s link will show you how to invite them.
You should start to use Arthur for all communications avoiding other platforms such as texts etc. This will ensure everything in one place for future reference. By getting your tenants on as soon as possible will also will ensure that they also use the platform for reporting and communication.
Arthur has a mailmerge function enabling you to produce documents for signing. The link below is a generic link to understanding mailmerge and it will lead you to other articles on how to mailmerge. Once you have created your document you are ready to send it round for signing. The second link will show you how.
If you find this area difficult do come back to us, its easy when you know how.
The integration with Advance Tenant Referencing means that with a click of a button, you can send all the information needed to reference the prospective tenant to Advanced Rent. The process can then be tracked within Arthur, as well as through email updates, with the final report coming into the system once again ready for you to download.
Arthur financials are about the rent collection, Property owner statements, adding of disbursements but do not offer full back office accounting which is why we integrate with Xero/Quickbooks. The tenancy financials are all set up in Arthur and mapped to Xero/Quickbooks eliminating double entry. Should you wish only to use Arthur then of course Arthur will handle all aspect of the tenancy financials
The integration is a 'best of breed' approach to ensure powerful and comprehensive accounting combined with exceptional property management functions right from your mobile app through to the back office allowing you to produce powerful financial reports and forecasting. The online bank feed function in Xero empowers you to get from the bank statement to the property owner statement, effortlessly, accurately and quickly.
Please come back to us if you want to proceed. Before doing so you need set up your Arthur account first. Should you wish to explore this further I have included a link to understanding Xero and Arthur`s integration.

Feds Warn Cops : Watch Out for Right Wing Hate
Homeland Security has issued an alarming report -- alarming, at least, to those who haven't been paying attention -- that warns of further substantial growth in already resurgent right wing radicalism.Federal agency warns of radicals on right
In light of the widespread reports of blatant racism, hate and calls to violence during Wednesday's consistently mean-spirited "tea parties," around the country, this warning should be taken very seriously.
Incidentally, this report has stirred up wide-eyed protest from Conservative quarters.
Thorne Dreyer / The Rag Blog / April 16, 2009
Nine page report sent to police
By Audrey Hudson and Eli Lake / April 14, 2009
The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.
The White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, "The President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect and benefits they have earned."
The nine-page document was sent to police and sheriff's departments across the United States on April 7 under the headline, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."
It says the federal government "will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months" to gather information on "rightwing extremist activity in the United States."
The joint federal-state activities will have "a particular emphasis" on the causes of "rightwing extremist radicalization."
Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban said the report is one in an ongoing series of assessments by the department to "facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the U.S."

APPLE VALLEY >> Chris Hernandez inks illustrations for children's books, as well as logos for everything from orthodontic businesses to fishing charters.
The design request he received in September turned into something much deeper than an everyday job.
Wicks Brewing Co. in Riverside asked him to design labels for two new beers made in tribute to Riverside police Officer Michael Crain and San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah MacKay, both killed in the 2013 Christopher Dorner rampage.
"I had to put a lot more heart into this," the 36-year-old Apple Valley man said. "Mentally and emotionally, it took a toll on me."
The designs and beer will be featured during a car show to raise money for fallen and injured law enforcement at the brewery Feb. 1.
The brewery learned about Hernandez's artwork from a design job he took for nearby Polymath Brewery in Riverside.
The owners had specific ideas for both logos. Crain, who breached doors as a SWAT officer, was known as "Freight Crain," Hernandez said. Wicks envisioned a metallic bull.
MacKay's logo — a sheepdog playing the bagpipes — illustrates MacKay's love of playing bagpipes and his belief that law enforcement, like sheepdogs, protect a flock from evil.
Hernandez said the shootings hit home for him because one of Dorner's first victims, Monica Quan, was assistant women's basketball coach at his alma mater, Cal State Fullerton. Quan's fiance, Keith Lawrence, was also killed.
And during the standoff in the San Bernardino Mountains, Hernandez and his wife waited nervously because they knew one of their friends, a deputy with the Sheriff's Department, was in the mountains.
But he says that despite the amount of work he put into the designs, he doesn't want the focus to be on him.
"It's not about me," he said. "It's about remembering their names."
Proceeds from sales of Freight Crain and Sheep Dog beer at the Fallen and Injured Riverside Police Officers Fundraiser will go toward the Crain and MacKay families.
The fundraiser is being organized by the Riverside-based Old Farts Racing Team and the Riverside Police Officers Association.
The team held another car show last year to raise money for the families of Crain and Andrew Tachias, who was wounded but survived the shootout that killed Crain. That event generated about $24,000, said Steve Johnson, event organizer.
"There was such great support for law enforcement," he said.
Riverside police Sgt. Brian Smith, president of the police association, said officers hope to raise enough money during this event to purchase a van for the family of a Riverside officer recently diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease.
The event will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Wicks, 11620 Sterling Ave., Suite C.
For more information, contact Johnson via e-mail, email@example.com

The information found on the Fallout Wikia seems to be conflicting.
Under the Damage Threshold article, it states that:
The combined statistics of DT and DR (with DT being applied first) determines....
whereas on the Damage Resistance article:
Damage resistance is applied before damage threshold.
I am confused. Which one is really applied first?

October 26, 2011 · Lessig · Reblogged from
Sometime-HuffPost blogger, and Nation contributor Dave Zirin has written a brilliant barn-raising response to my last HuffPost piece. Please read all of it, but here's the bit I want call out. Zirin states: "But by going to Occupy sites and arguing for a Tea Party alliance, Professor Lessig, to put it mildly, isn't helping."
Helping what, exactly, Dave?
Helping the Left rally the Left? Agreed. That isn't my aim. The #Occupy movements are doing that quite well on their own. As a Liberal, I celebrate that rally.
Helping the Left lead a movement for real reform? You tell me how your path does that better.
Here's the fact about America: It takes an insanely large majority to make any fundamental change. You want Citizens United reversed, it is going to take 75% of states to do it. You want public funding of public elections? It's going to take 67 Senators to get it. You want to end the corruption that makes it impossible to get any of the things liberals push? It's going to take a broad based movement that cuts across factions, whether right (as in correct) or Right (as in not Left).
So you tell me how calling people you disagree with "racists" (which you predicated of the Tea Party because of the behavior of some of its members, even though an ABC analysis has concluded that views on race "are not significant predictors of support for the Tea Party movement") is going to get us to 38 states? Or 67 Senators? Or 80% of the public's support, which any fundamental change is going to require? Explain how chest-thumping self-righteousness about how hateful "they" are "is helping" that?
Maybe you don't think such fundamental reform is needed, Dave. Maybe you think the political system is just fine. That the poor do perfectly well in a system where the rich fund political campaigns. That the middle class can hold its own in a world where corporations are free to spend endlessly to push the most ridiculous bullshit as "public" policy.
But if you think that, you're from Mars. I'm from Earth. And here on Earth, here in America, our political system is f*cked, and your self-righteous indignation "is not helping" us to get it fixed.
It's great to rally the 99%. It is a relief to have such a clear and powerful slogan. But explain this, because I'm a lawyer, and not so great with numbers: Gallup's latest poll finds 41% of Americans who call themselves "conservative." 36% call themselves "moderate." Liberals account for 21%. In a different poll, Gallup finds 30% of Americans who "support" the Tea Party.
So who exactly are we not allowed to work with, Dave? 30% of America? 41% of America? All but 21% of America? And when you exclude 30%, or 41%, or 79% of Americans, how exactly are you left with 99%?
Talk about wanting to have it "both ways"! How can you claim to speak for 99% but refuse to talk to 30%? (And just to be clear: the 30% of Americans who support the Tea Party are not the 1% "superrich." I checked. With a calculator.)
And finally as to one of the commentators on Dave's essay who finds me "poisonous," and said I said: "OWS needs to drop the 'We are the 99%' slogan because it might hurt the feelings of the rich." What I said was not that the movement should give up the slogan 99% because it offended. I said it should instead talk about the 99.95%. That's the percentage of Americans who did not max out in giving in the last Congressional election. That is the percentage that becomes invisible in the money-feeding-fest that is DC.
So if you really want to rally the 99%, you might begin by identifying those things that 99% might actually agree about. That the 30% of Americans who call themselves "supporters" of the Tea Party are racists is not a statement likely to garner the support of at least that 30%. (And again, as ABC found, it's not even true).
On the other hand, 99% of America should be perfectly willing to agree that a system in which the top 1% — or better, .05% — have more power to direct public policy than do the 99% or 99.95% is wrong. And must be changed. Before this nation can again call itself a democracy (for those on the Left) or a Republic (for those on the Right). This "Republic," by which the Framers meant a "representative democracy," by which they intended a body "dependent upon the People ALONE," is not.
That, too, must change. Meaning, in addition to all the things we Liberals want, we must change that as well. And my view is that if we changed that corruption first, we might actually find it a bit easier to get those other things too.

Ask Obama or Romney 'Sausage or Pepperoni?' and You Get Free Pizza for Life
Everyone has something they'd like to ask the candidates at the next presidential debate. But if you're brave enough to stand up in that highly televised forum and ask the age-old question "Sausage or pepperoni?"—free pizza for life shall be your reward.
Pizza Hut and its Pizza Party announced on Tuesday that they will provide a lifetime of free pizza—the option of one large pizza a week for the next 30 years, or a check for $15,600—to any attendee who asks either candidate this simple question during the live town hall format presidential debate on October 16 at Hofstra University.
"We recognize there are a lot of serious issues to be debated, but we also know a lot less serious—but no less important—ones are being discussed every night inside houses across the country," said Kurt Kane, chief marketing officer of Pizza Hut. "So for the candidates to be able to show that they're in tune with all the issues, we felt a pizza-related question on behalf of the Pizza Party was very appropriate for a town hall debate."
Think it's unlikely someone might do it? Just remember that during an MTV town hall debate once, President Bill Clinton was asked, "Boxers or briefs?"
"Usually briefs," he said.
