Property Tax Assessment Appeals & Deadlines (including Shelby County Property Tax Appeals)
What Is a Property Tax Appeal?
A property tax appeal is not an appeal of the tax. It is actually an appeal of the underlying assessment value that is used to calculate the tax owed on a parcel. The assessed value is usually a percentage of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of a property. The FMV is the amount that a willing buyer and seller would exchange property for in an arms length transaction. The assessed value is determined by the Assessor of Property and that value is used by the Trustee or taxing authority as a foundation for the tax bill. The taxing authority uses the assessment, and the tax levy millage (determined by the legislative body each year), and multiplies the assessment and the levy to determine the tax bill due. Thus, when we submit a property tax appeal, we are not actually appealing the tax per se, we are appealing the underlying value that is a major component in determining the tax. We can not appeal the tax levy, but we can appeal the property tax assessment. And we do! The appeal is filed by us with the local county Board of Equalization.
An Overview
In Tennessee, the County Assessor is responsible for assessing all of the property, of every kind and nature, in the county and for certifying the value to the tax rolls by April 20 of each year. The "certified roll" is then provided to the County Trustee, who takes the approved budget, divides the amount of money needed by the total of all assessments, and determines the levy for each millage assessed. The levy is then multiplied by the assessment for each individual tax parcel and a tax bill is created.
A tax bill is sent during the billing period, which, for counties, is October through February. County taxes must be paid by the last day of February, as they are delinquent on March 1. Interest & penalties of 18 % accrue annually on delinquent taxes in Tennessee.
Assessed property tax values are made available to owners after they are certified, or after April 20. Values are often sent by postcard from the Assessor to the mailing address that the Assessor has on record, obtained either from the Register of Deeds, or from an update by the owner. Owners can also look on line at their local county assessor website.
Property tax assessment appeals must be filed between May 1 and June 30 of each year. (We ask our clients to submit Representation Forms to us no later than June 20. After June 20, we will accept Representation Forms but only upon written confirmation). See attached Representation Form.
Real Property is assessed by the County Assessor in which the property sits. State law requires that a county-wide reappraisal be conducted every four years by the County Assessor. 2013 is a reappraisal year. If that value is not contested, it remains the value used to determine taxation for the entire four years, (unless the Assessor does a voluntary adjustment). Although some owners may just appeal their tax assessment in the reappraisal year, most of our clients sign a Representation Form allowing us to appeal their tax assessment for all years between re-appraisals as well. This allows us to keep contesting the values if the market drops. Without filing an annual appeal, the property value will usually remain at the assessment from the prior year (unless the Assessor does a voluntary adjustment).
Business Personal Property Assessments are a self reporting system. Schedules are mailed out to owners in February of each year and must be reviewed, signed, dated and returned to the Assessor by March 1. If no schedule is returned or submitted, then a "forced assessment" is made against the taxpayer. Business Personal Property Assessments, including "Forced Assessments" can be appealed and the appeal period is May 1 through June 30 of each year. A completed, signed and dated schedule must be attached to a Business Personal Property Appeal, in addition to the Appeal form.
State Assessed Property Assessments are provided by the Director of State Assessed Property in Nashville. Those values are provided in January of each year, for the prior tax year. State Assessed Properties include planes, trucks, and boats, and pipelines. The value is apportioned between according to the values determined to be appropriate, and relevant to each county. The income, cost and market approaches are used, and a value is determined. These values can be contested as well. New values for the prior year are made available in January, and so an adjusted bill is sent out in January, changing the tax amount for the prior tax year. These taxes are usually corporation taxes, as the property is assessed and owes a tax due to it's income producing nature.
Farmlands and Greenbelt are assessed at a reduced rate, and a tax is levied against this classification during the tax season as well.
All residential, commercial, industrial, farmland, greenbelt and business personal property, including state assessed properties, are included in the annual certified tax rolls.
A PILOT or Payment-in-lieu-of-Taxes, is a contract amount that is paid instead of the tax amount that would be owed without the contract. These contracts are made with the governing body of the taxing entity. These PILOT taxes are due during the tax season and are late, and may be subject to cancellation if not paid timely.
CBID, or Central Business Improvement Districts, or Special Assessments, are a levy against properties in a development district. These obligations are funds earmarked for a special fund, which has a stated purpose, like development, or sewers, or sidewalks, and they are an additional levy on a defined geographical district. The levy is set by the governing body at the creation of the special assessment, and these assessments do not usually change. Special assessments are at a set, usually, unchanging rate. The underlying property assessments, however, do change over time, so appealing the underlying property value can result in a lowering of the special assessment levy owed. In conclusion, appealing your property value in a special assessment district can lower your obligation. Note: Special assessments are not considered a tax, but for taxpayers, it seems like one. The reason special assessments are not a tax is because the special assessment goes to a special fund, and those funds can only be used to improve that district. Special assessment funds are never co-mingled with tax funds. They are separate. This is the distinction: Taxes are a charge to the land. A cost. Special assessments are to improve the land. They are presumed a benefit.

- Experienced lawyers provide better results.
Types of properties on which we appeal taxes
We appeal assessments on ALL TYPES OF PROPERTIES.
Obviously, Commercial and Industrial properties carry the heavier weight of taxation, as in Tennessee, their assessment is at 40% of the Fair Market Value. This means we appeal apartments, office buildings, gas stations, stores, restaurants, dry cleaners, car shops, racetracks, etc.
Residential properties carry a 25% assessment rate. We have appealed thousands of residential properties, with positive results.
Personal Property used in business, including State Assessed Property, carries a 30% assessment rate. Since Business Personal Property is a self reporting system, often taxpayers are comfortable with the assessed value they are initially awarded. But, if a taxpayer fails to submit his/her schedules timely, and a "forced assessment" results, we recommend appealing a "forced assessment" unless the new assessment is fair.
- Our fee is 1/3 of the tax savings.
- If we do not reduce your taxes, then we do not get paid.
- We file the appeals at no cost to you.
Experienced lawyers provide better results.

When do you pay your taxes?
County Taxes
In Tennessee, county taxes are usually levied in early fall, and the tax payment period is from October 1 through February 28. County Taxes are late on March 1 (of the following calendar year).
City Taxes
Municipal taxes are due depending on the City. City of Memphis taxes are levied in late June, billed in July and must be paid by August 31. They are late on September 1 (of the same calendar year).
Late Payments Accrue Charges
Taxes accrue 12% interest per annum once they are delinquent and they also accrue 6% penalty per annum. In other words, taxes run at 18% interest and penalty annually, plus prosecution costs when applicable, if they are delinquent.
When should you pay our taxes that are under appeal?
Tennessee law requires that you pay your "undisputed portion" at the time the taxes are due to avoid penalty and interest accruing.
County Due Date: February 28+ (of the next calendar year)
City Due Date: August 31* (of the same calendar year)
+Because Tennessee was a farming state, taxes are due after the crops were harvested, in the fall, and must be paid no later than the end of February.
*See your City Bill for due date. Some city taxes are due at the same time county taxes are due.
What should we pay when our taxes are under appeal?
You have a choice, you can pay the entire amount owed, and later request a refund
You can pay your "Undisputed Amount".
What is my "undisputed amount" and how can i figure it?
You can use this formula:
Proposed Value x Weight x Levy = Undisputed Tax
Proposed Value = the value you/we believe (using comparable sales or other data) that the property is worth
- Weight: Determined by Classification or use:
- .25 is the weight used for Residential
- .40 is the weight used for Commercial/Industrial
- .30 is the weight used for Business Personal Property
- Levy: Tax levy millage. See levy amount on the tax bill sent to you by the city or county.
- Undisputed Tax: the amount of tax you admit, in fairness, that you owe. Your tax portion for that particular tax parcel. (Note: each tax parcel portion must be determined separately.)
NOTE: the Shelby County Assessor has a calculator for you to use to determine your taxes on their webpage. Go to: www.Assessor.shelby.tn.us and find it in the left column. It is much easier to use it than to do the math yourself!
How do i pay my undisputed tax when my taxes are under appeal?
You must do the following:
- Determine the undisputed portion.
- Pay that full amount to the taxing entity by the tax deadline. Do not be late.
- Write "Paid Under Protest" on your payment.
- Identify that parcel(s) being paid, and mark that you are paying your "Undisputed Portion".
- Keep a copy of the paperwork showing that it was paid under protest. Note: if you do not submit this payment timely, interest and penalties will accrue on the full amount of taxes due.
County Taxes
Because appeal hearings are usually completed by late November, (unless in a reappraisal year), the county tax bill will usually be updated and corrected by the time those taxes are due (February 28). If you desire to pay your taxes by December 31 (for IRS tax reasons), you can either pay the full amount and later request a refund or pay the undisputed portion (as described above). If your appeal is not heard before your taxes are due, then pay either your full amount due or your undisputed portion, (and be sure to follow all of the steps for submitting your undisputed portion, including saving a copy of your paperwork!)
[Note: we usually submit all of our accounts that are under protest to both the city and county officials so that they know your taxes are under appeal with us.]
City Taxes
Because appeal hearings usually begin AFTER the city taxes are due, we recommend that our clients pay their full/entire city taxes that were billed on time. Experience has taught us that it is easier to pay the city in full, and then request a refund later.
However, if your have a high value property, you may want to pay only the "undisputed portion" of taxes, which is the amount you agree you would owe, if, upon hearing, the value was lowered to the amount you/we assert (on appeal) it is worth. If you "short pay" due to the fact that the taxes are under appeal, be sure to write "Paid Under Protest" on your check, and identify the parcel number. See section: HOW DO I PAY MY UNDISPUTED TAX WHEN MY TAXES ARE UNDER APPEAL? above.
Late Fees and Interest & Penalties
If you do not pay your taxes or the undisputed taxes on time, you will be charged interest & penalty at 18% per annum. These charges accrue as a lump sum on the first day of each month and at a rate of 1.5% per month on the first of every month. There is no arguing with these charges or prosecution costs or attorney fees if the tax obligation goes to lawsuit. Eventually, if taxes remain unpaid, the property will be assigned to Tax Sale. If your property has been sold by Tax Sale within the last year, then inquire about our help with Redemption. There is a one year right to Redeem, under state law, but redemption requires that you pay all taxes and charges that were owed under the tax suit.
Adjusted bill
After we are successful in reducing your taxes, an Adjusted Bill is sent to you WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE ADJUSTMENT by the taxing authority. NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO LOOK ON LINE AND PAY ON LINE.
If you paid your undisputed portion on time, then you should not be subject to interest, penalties or charges. If charges appear on your bill you should contact the taxing entity and if necessary show them your paperwork that you submitted the payment under protest and that it was paid when the taxes were due, not delinquent. The taxing authority should adjust the bill and correct their mistake. Do not argue with the taxing authority employees. If you can not resolve your dispute amicably, then you should contact your attorney to assist. We do request that you take the above steps before contacting us though, as we appeal thousands of properties a year, and our expertise is focused on getting you results and helping you with your taxation. Ministerial or administrative errors happen, but those are not our issue, usually. We always want things to go smoothly and we are here to help if you need us. But usually, these small matters can be worked through so long as you have your paperwork!
If you paid your undisputed taxes late, you can expect to pay interest and penalties and any other charges due, on the tax amount you owed that you did not pay timely.
What else do you need to do?
Be excited about your tax savings. Pay us our 1/3 fee. Tell your friends about us, please. We appreciate referrals! Plus, we like to help people. That's why we became attorneys!

Stop. Are you happy with what you've created? Are you proud enough in yourself? You bullied a child. In typical fashion, you reached out to someone smaller than you, with less clout than you, and you've made them feel both huge... and incredibly small at the same time.
A woman in North Dakota has decided it would be a good idea to hand out letters, instead of candy, to children on her trick-or-treat route that she deems to be overweight. Obviously, she has chosen to be anonymous because even she knows her decision would lead her to being ostracized in the community. I'm sure she probably started this with the belief that only obese people with obese children would be offended.
Unfortunately, she forgot the human factor. We didn't all grow up in the thin group. Personally, I grew up fat. My parents weren't the cause. You could have shamed me until the moon turned blue. I'd have just gotten fatter or I'd have stopped eating altogether and my body would have decided to grow thicker body hair to heat my ever withering frame. Those are the reactions to eating disorders, to one extreme or another. THAT is what shame does to a child.
I'm sure this woman does not consider this to be shaming behavior. She's wrong. No matter who this letter is aimed at, the child will know who the letter came from. When other children reveal the contents of the letter, and they will, classmates will have witnessed the letter being handed out and to whom. Children whose parents receive this letter WILL be called out by classmates. Shaming will occur.
Let's talk for a minute about eating disorders. Eating disorders don't only occur on one end of the spectrum. People who overeat to fill a void suffer the same issues as those who under eat. In both cases, organ damage, self-esteem, confidence, levels of happiness, and realistic body image face a powerful blow. In one case the person feels they can never be thin enough to reach the goal and continue to try until their organs give out. In the other case the person feels there is no hope, so they eat until their bodies cannot support their organs and eventually those organs give out.
This, my friends, is what shame causes. It causes people to forego natural activity and behavior and hide it away. Thin people will never feel thin enough. Heavy people will be so ashamed that they won't seek help. How long does this have to go on? How many people will we see shunning fitness programs because they grew up with a neighbor who couldn't even give them a piece of candy on Halloween without singling them out for being "fat"? How many kids will stop eating because they worry that next year they might get that letter?
Ms. North Dakota, whomever you really are, I hope you realize your actions are nothing short of bullying. This might be legal on your doorstep, but morally, it is completely ill-conceived and hurtful. Take a moment, before Halloween arrives, and consider the following; You had enough time to consider writing a letter, buying paper and envelopes, printing it, and throwing your plan on social media, but that time could have been spent; Encouraging young people to participate in a program at the local park, inviting your neighbor child to walk with you and your pet, playing at the YMCA or YWCA, or countless other programs. This time could have been spent at the local after school program where you could have lovingly taught children a better way of living. You could have volunteered with a group of children in a local youth organization and gone on a hike explaining the importance of healthy food when sustaining their bodies.
There are SO many things you could have done with your time... and there is still a little time left. Grow a heart. Get some compassion. Learn what it really takes to reach children. Shaming parents and person doesn't work. Example does. Reach out. The world is waiting. Instead of ruining a childhood holiday, think of the end goal and choose a healthy response. Isn't that what you're asking them to do?

Quick Reference
John Abercrombie was born in Aberdeen on 12 October 1780 and died suddenly in Edinburgh on 14 November 1844. He was the only son of the Revd George Abercrombie. His early education was in Aberdeen at the Grammar School and then at Marischal College. In 1800 he went to Edinburgh University to study medicine; his contemporaries among the medical students there included Thomas Brown. Like Brown, he received his MD in 1803. After a year of study at St George's Hospital in London he returned to Edinburgh and started work as a general practitioner. After the death of Dr James Gregory in 1821, Abercrombie took over as Edinburgh's leading consulting physician. His two volumes of Pathological and Practical Researches (1828) on diseases of the brain and of the intestines established him a high reputation as a medical writer; these went through several editions and were translated into French and German. He was made a Fellow of both the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. In 1843, the year before his death, during the Disruption in the Scottish church he joined the seceding evangelical party that formed the Free Church. He was committed to philanthropic and missionary works both in Britain and overseas. Indeed, it was in large part the evangelical and pious character of his writings that made Abercrombie such a successful and popular author.

A man whose child unknowingly had gun parts and ammunition hidden inside stuffed animals in his carry-on bag was involved in a custody dispute, officials at Rhode Island's main airport said Wednesday.
Federal transportation agents found the items Monday when the man and his 4-year-old son went through security at T.F. Green Airport, authorities said. The man, who has not been identified, said he didn't know the items were there.
The airport released a statement on Wednesday calling it a "domestic custody dispute." Airport police, state police and the FBI are investigating.
The Transportation Security Administration said the man and his son were headed to Detroit when a TSA officer noticed the disassembled gun components "artfully concealed" inside three stuffed animals: a teddy bear, a rabbit and a Mickey Mouse.
One animal contained a .40-caliber gun, while another had a magazine loaded with two .40-caliber rounds and a firing pin. A third animal contained another part of a gun known as a slide.
The parts could have been assembled to make a usable firearm, authorities said.
Patti Goldstein, an airport spokeswoman, said the father was detained for three hours and let go. He continued traveling Tuesday.
The TSA and FBI declined to comment Wednesday. State police referred questions to airport police.
Airport Police Chief Leo Messier, who said Tuesday the incident appeared to be related to a domestic dispute, didn't return a message Wednesday.

More than 20 bodies were found in the streets outside the western Mexican city of Morelia Wednesday, according to AFP.
State prosecutor Jesus Montejano told AFP that the 21 bodies had warning notes attached to them.
"Because society asked for it, this is going to happen to those who continue to rob houses, kidnappers and rapists," the warning notes said, according to Montejano.
Mexican authorities say some of the bodies showed signs of torture, with bodies piled together and their faces covered by tape.
The infamous drug cartel La Familia is based near Morelia in Michoacan state. Last June, the cartel beheaded 12 policemen.
On Wednesday, a screaming teenager with a gunshot wound was found dangling from a rope over a busy highway in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey. Police said another man alongside him was dead by the time rescuers arrived and a third was found dead below.
Witnesses told police that a group of gunmen descended from a vehicle and hanged the men off a bridge around 10 a.m., stopping traffic along one of the busiest routes in Mexico's third-largest city, which has been plagued by drug-gang violence.
All three of the men had been shot and tortured, and their hands were bound with duct tape, according to a Nuevo Leon state police investigator who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.
The dead man, estimated to be in his early 20s, dangled in a blue shirt and plaid shorts. A cellphone was bound in his hands, a possible sign that he was considered an informant.
Police said none of the victims had been identified.
Two other men, one with a foot cut off, were hanged by their necks from a pedestrian bridge Sunday in Monterrey. Both died.
The city has seen a spike of violence since the Gulf and Zeta cartels began fighting for control of drug traffic there two years ago.
According to AFP, nearly 37,000 people have died in drug violence since the Mexican government started cracking down on cartels in 2006.

Dyanti transitions into Dream Team
After an injury last year derailed his contract with the Lions, Dyantyi placed his focus on the Varsity Cup this year, forcing his way into the Dream Team with several notable performances.
Looking back on the competition, the 22-year-old is satisfied that the move to midfield paid dividends.
"For many, this change was a bit of a shock but I'd been in discussion with the coaches and we'd been preparing for the role. I was comfortable trying out for centre and it was a decision that has really yielded good results for everyone," he said.
In October 2016, Dyantyi signed with the Lions but injury a month later meant he had few opportunities to prove himself. Ahead of the semifinals, Dyantyi had beaten more defenders (26) than any other player during the season and also made the most offloads (19), ball carries (74) and line breaks (10).
"My motivation this Varsity Cup season was to play the best I could for UJ, but I also wanted to create other opportunities for myself outside of that. The tournament has been a perfect platform for me to show the coaches at the Lions what I'm capable of," he added.
The season got off to a bad start for UJ as they lost their first two matches but an 18-17 win over Tuks proved to be the turning point for the team.
"My standout occasion of the season was the game against Tuks. We were coming back from two losses to play a team that had been unbeaten and it was during this game that we really managed to turn our season around," he stated.
The team put together a five-match winning streak which came to an end when they lost 19-65 to Maties. However, they still qualified for the semis, where they were again beaten by Maties.
"Undoubtedly our success as a team contributed to my selection so I really can't take all the credit," said Dyantyi, who acknowledged the contributions of his teammates and coaches.
The 23-man Dream Team squad was announced after the Varsity Cup final between Tuks and Maties on Monday. A late substitution due to injury means UJ now has four names on the team sheet for the game against the Junior Springboks in Stellenbosch on Tuesday.
Dyantyi and Dillon Bakos (who will replace Neethling Fouche from Tuks) were named as part of the starting line-up while Jannes Snyman and Nico du Plessis were included as replacements.
The four will be joined by UJ strength and conditioning coach Jacques Durand, who was selected as sports scientist for the Dream Team. He has been with the team since the inception of the competition.

Join us for a free educational webinar to get the most from your marketing and fundraising efforts.
Younger people may not have as much giving power as older generations, but studies show they're at least as generous. According to the Giving USA 2014 report, the majority of millennials (about 60%) donate to charitable organizations. Other sources, like the 2013 Millennial Impact Report, come to similar conclusions. Nearly 70% of millennials are willing to fundraise for a nonprofit, and 64% already fundraise for walk/run/cycling events.
It's no secret the millennial generation has a charitable bent. In fact, did you know that the largest generation working in the nonprofit sector right now is Generation Y? Volunteering is simply a way of life for these folks; they've been doing it for years. Many of them went to schools where community service was required. This generation wants to make a difference.
All of that said, it's important that your organization understands how to reach this generation now rather than later. Get them on board with your cause while they're young, and you could have a supporter for life.
Here are six ways to attract Gen Y to your organization.
Your website must do a great job telling your story and allowing millennials to engage. Finding the perfect balance of website beauty and brains is where Firespring comes in.

Labeling chicken
A new regulation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture requiring nutrition labels on raw, single-ingredient poultry products has the poultry industry in Mississippi somewhat mystified — and very concerned. Effective Jan. 1, 2012, the USDA will require certain poultry products to provide nutrition information on the package or available at the point-of-purchase. The rule is targeting non-consumer-ready poultry cuts, which ...Read More »

Replacing a plastic window grid involves removing the existing grid with a putty knife before mounting and installing the replacement grid. Window grids are typically basic square patterns that fit inside windows to improve their visual appeal. Grids are typically made up of thin strips of wood pinned together with half-lap joints, preformed plastic or vinyl that is cut to shape.Continue Reading
Remove the existing grid by inserting the tip of a putty knife between the grid and glass anywhere along the perimeter of the window frame. After removing the existing grid, ensure all glass surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned and dried before installing the replacement. Some plastic window grid kits can be simply snapped into place while others may require assembly using press-fit connectors or similar hardware.
Drop ready-mount grids into place. Use a hammer and small block of wood at the corners to ensure a snug fit. Other grids must be set against the angled edge of the sash frame and cut until they mate with the beveled edge of the window. Grids should be test fitted against the window angle before installation. Trim any edges as needed to ensure a proper fit. Plastic window grids may also utilize hooks, loops or fastening tape in order to ensure secure placement and mounting.Learn more about Doors, Windows, & Locks

Heart of Darkness
Pushing whites out of Africa.
Zimbabwe — the former Rhodesia — is sinking into violent anarchy as its aging autocrat stirs up hatred against the remaining whites. In neighboring South Africa whites look on in horror as rampaging blacks kill and dispossess farmers in a nightmare they persist in believing could never be visited upon their own country. And in a perfect parallel to their treatment of non-white degeneracy at home, the American government and media have said next to nothing about this continuing outrage.
Part of the problem is 76-year-old Robert Mugabe, leader of the ZANU-PF party, who has ruled the country for 20 years. His "leadership" has slowly destroyed a once-prosperous economy, left one quarter of the adult population with AIDS, and encouraged corruption at all levels. He is running out of booty to distribute to his supporters and hopes to plunder the one remaining efficient sector of the economy: commercial farming. Some 4,500 large-scale farmers — almost all of them white — grow wheat, tobacco, and other crops that account for 40 percent of the country's exports.
Says whites are "enemies of the people."
Last February, Mr. Mugabe held a referendum to approve constitutional changes that would have broadened his powers and given him the right to seize white-owned land without compensation. The measure was defeated, largely because of the rise of a serious opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) led by Morgan Tsvan-girai and supported by many whites. Mr. Mugabe was furious at the defeat and responded by encouraging Dr. Chenjerai Hunzvi to lead a movement to occupy white farms and drive out the owners. Dr. Hunzvi, who likes to go by the name of "Hitler," is thought by some to be the second most powerful man in the country. He is a shady operator (see: Hitler's Rise to Power) who claims to speak for black veterans of the insurgency that ended white rule in Rhodesia 20 years ago.
Swarms of blacks calling themselves "war veterans" are now squatting on approximately 1,000 (some reports put the figure at 700) commercial farms, egged on by Mr. Mugabe's denunciation of white farmers as "enemies of the people." Arriving in government-supplied convoys, they camp out on private property, demand food and drink, and intimidate farmers and their black employees. Many admit they are being paid by the government. Often roaring drunk and brandishing clubs and knives, they sometimes make the farmers' wives and daughters dance for them or sing songs praising Robert Mugabe and the ZANU-PF. At their worst they kill, burn, rape, and loot (see: Violence and Anarchy). It is a miracle that so far only three farmers have been murdered, but many have been beaten, held hostage, or forced to sign documents transferring ownership of their farms to the occupiers.
One reason there have been so few deaths is that farmers have put up no resistance and many have abandoned their farms and fled to safety in the homes of friends in the cities. In some cases blacks have looted and ransacked unoccupied homes, killed livestock, and burned farm buildings and crops. Squatters have frequently vented their wrath on the blacks who live and work in the farms, beating them and burning their houses.
Many whites have farmed the same land for three generations and are very attached to the blacks who have also worked there for generations. Sixty-two-year-old Lorna Coleman says these attachments would make it hard to leave Zimbabwe no matter how great the danger. "One of my biggest worries is what will happen to our staff. We have 70 people working for us and their families live on our property. I take that responsibility seriously. I don't want to abandon them."
The "war veterans," — most were not yet born or were in diapers when the insurgency was actually going on more than 20 years ago — imitate a Red Guard tactic from the Chinese Cultural Revolution. After they beat up one group of farm workers they load them onto trucks, drive to the next farm and make them beat up the workers there. This is supposed to raise political consciousness. "We are forced to beat our own friends," says one terrified worker.
The Supreme Court of Zimbabwe has declared the occupations illegal and ordered Mr. Hunzvi to get his people off the land, but the court cannot enforce its order. The police, whom whites now dismiss as "coat hangers for uniforms," stand by idly in the face of rampant lawlessness. Mr. Mugabe himself has no regrets about the killings and beatings. "We warned the white farmers," he says. "We cannot protect you if you provoke the war veterans. You must accept the consequences."
On April 28, although he did not suggest that the squatters go home, "Hitler" Hunzvi publicly called for an end to violence and the occupation of more farms. Some hoped this might ease the crisis but it did not. Farm invasions, beatings, and crop burnings continued, fueled by Mr. Mugabe's increasingly shrill denunciations of whites. Farmers have now concluded that even if Mr. Hunzvi actually wanted to stop the violence he doesn't have the authority.
It is hard to believe he wants to. On May 8, after the third farmer was beaten to death, he called for all Zimbabweans who hold British passports to be rounded up and deported. Anyone who didn't want to go, he said, should be killed.
Members of the opposition MDC have suffered worse than the farmers. ZANU-PF activists have killed at least a dozen: party administrators, declared candidates for office, and ordinary supporters. They have beaten up and intimidated uncounted thousands. On May 5, police even held MDC leader Mr. Tsvangirai for seven straight hours, though they did him no violence.
The MDC salute is an open-handed raised arm. In some areas blacks have stopped waving to each other for fear the gesture could be misread and invite attack. Funerals for murdered MDC supporters have been hush-hush, stealthy affairs rather than typically African large-scale observances. "No one must mourn a member of the MDC," explained the daughter of Peter Kariza, an activist murdered by Mugabe supporters. "If they do, they'll be killed." Mr. Kariza's widow, who was herself badly beaten, saw her home burned down and her cows and goats stolen. She must now care for her eight children alone.
David Coltart, an official in the MDC says the violence is vastly under-reported: "They attack families every night, beating everyone they can lay their hands on. The trouble is that this happens deep in the rural areas. By the time they are reported, there is nothing fresh for television cameras." In early May police admitted that for a month they had not even told anyone about the murders of three MDC activists, much less captured the killers.
New elections are expected in June, but the chances of a fair vote are zero. "People might value their vote, but they value their life more," says political scientist Alfred Nhema at the University of Zimbabwe. "Many would rather lose the election than die." He confirms that, as is common throughout Africa, many Zimbabweans think the Mugabe forces have magical powers and will know if they vote for the opposition.
On May 6, a Mugabe-supporter addressed this paean to democracy before a crowd of 700 at a political rally about 40 miles north of Harare: "If ZANU-PF loses this election, you will not say that I did not warn you. If we lose, we will get out our guns… We will be at the voting stations. If ZANU-PF loses, the way forward will be filled with war."
MDC supporters are hardly saints either. On May 7, at an MDC rally they beat two men who made the mistake of wearing ZANU-PF T-shirts.
Gedahlia Braun, an American academic who has lived many years in South Africa and has written occasionally for AR, argues that many Africans are incapable of understanding elections as anything other than a form of warfare. Political opponents are no different from battlefield enemies and might as well be killed.
The crisis has been something of a battle for journalists, too. The "war veterans" rightly see them as unsympathetic and have often barred them from covering farm invasions. One South Africa-based reporter who wanted to talk to squatters 25 miles east of Harare changed his mind when "war veterans" threatened to kill him. They seized the two blacks he came with, handcuffed them, and beat them with iron rods. Both men were badly hurt and one may have gotten a fractured hip.
On April 28, the secretary general of the War Veterans Association insisted that blacks own the land, and lashed out against "false reporting:" "With immediate effect, if we hear any journalist saying we are squatters, there is going to be war here. There will be severe punishment." Many white farmers have stopped talking to reporters for fear of reprisals and mob violence.
Although many Zimbabweans now despise Mr. Mugabe for the ruin and lawlessness he has brought to the country, African heads of state stand by him. On April 22, after the murders of two farmers, the leaders of South Africa, Mozam-bique, and Namibia gave Mr. Mugabe a ringing endorsement of his handling of the "land problem." They accept his view that whites are clinging to unearned privilege and must be taught a lesson. To the dismay of his own whites, President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa has yet to pronounce a single word critical of Mr. Mugabe, though on May 6, Nelson Mandela spoke pointedly from retirement about African despots who cling to power until they die.
The United States has officially condemned "violent attacks against farmers" and called for Zimbabwe "to restore the rule of law." It plans to keep the annual aid budget at $12 to $14 million but has canceled plans for an increase. A State Department spokesman promises a "wait and see" approach, saying there might be further action if the elections this summer don't appear to be fair. The killings don't seem to be of much interest to him.
Britain, the former colonial power, has been so stupid as to call the violence "incomprehensible." It has cut off arms sales to Zimbabwe, and got the Commonwealth to issue a condemnation (though it agreed not to invoke economic sanctions or try to have Zimbabwe thrown out of the Commonwealth). Mr. Mugabe scoffed at the scolding, saying "Britain has nothing to teach us." He closed a two-hour May-third speech with his fist jabbing the air, shouting "Down with British imperialism and neo-colonialism."
The British had promised $57 million over the next two years to buy some of the land now farmed by whites, but will not hand it over if illegal occupations continue. Mr. Mugabe wants the money without conditions, and promises to drive whites off the land without compensation anyway. Those who oppose him, he says, can leave the country.
There has been an increasing flow of Zimbabwean asylum-seekers to Britain, with 50 arriving in March. The British have said they will offer entry only to whites who have ancestral ties to England — anyone else is out of luck. Britain and the European Union have, however, discussed setting up contingency plans to evacuate whites to South Africa if the violence gets worse.
Needless to say, farm occupations are wrecking the cash-crop econ-o-my. This is the season tobacco farmers auction their crops but squatters have burned thousands of bales and halted all work on many farms. Only a tenth of the usual tonnage has made it to market (though some farmers are delaying sales, in the expectation of another devaluation of the Zimbabwe dollar). Tobacco accounts for the bulk of Zimbabwe's annual export earnings and 20 percent of its gross domestic product, so the disruption is significant. The vice president of the Zimbabwe Farmers Union, a Mugabe supporter, says he knows why so little tobacco has gotten to market: "The war they [white farmers] are fighting by withdrawing their tobacco is so that they can destroy the economy and push Mugabe out of power."
Now is the time farmers should be planting winter wheat but many cannot. Not only are operations paralyzed by squatters, an estimated 30,000 farm workers — one in ten — have fled for their lives. This sudden work stoppage raises the specter of serious food shortages by December.
The crisis in Zimbabwe is lapping into South Africa. The Rand has hit a record low against the dollar, and already-wary foreign investors are appalled by what they see across the Limpopo river.
The cruel fact is that Mr. Mugabe and the "war veterans" are going after the land of white farmers not because there is not enough to go around but because whites made the land productive. Estimates vary enormously but whites are said to own 30 to 70 percent of the most fertile farmland. Over the years the government has used British aid money to buy 1,120,000 acres of formerly white-owned land, and "redistribute" it. The theory was that large farms were going to be broken up, Marxist-style, into thousands of small holdings. In fact, the 1,120,000 acres have gone to only 400 people — 2,800 acres per person. The 400 people are, of course, Mugabe's cabinet secretaries, retired generals, family and friends. Moreover, the government already has millions of acres of undeveloped land it could distribute any time it liked. What it wants is more land already improved by whites and now recognized as some of the most productive in the world. Past experience shows that once whites leave and their farms are turned over to blacks, crop yields rapidly go downhill.
Those with long memories have noted a certain grim parallel with South Africa. Twenty years ago, when Rhodesians buckled under world pressure and gave power to blacks, Robert Mugabe was the darling of the West. He was intelligent, well-spoken, and had several advanced degrees. World opinion greeted his 1980 election as president with something like the rhapsodies they later lavished on — well — Nelson Mandela. His Marxism, we were told, would quickly wear off, he wanted only peace and reconciliation with whites, and Africa would have a chance to show the world the kind of enlightened leadership of which it was capable. It certainly got that chance.
Some of the sheen wore off in the mid-1980s when Mr. Mugabe turned out to be a bit of a primitive after all. A member of the Shona tribe, he sent his notorious, North Korean-trained Fifth Brigade to slaughter an estimated 20,000 Ndebele who had the temerity to think their tribe should have a say in government, too.
At age 70 he married his 30-year-old secretary, with whom he began several years of dalliance while his wife was dying of a protracted kidney disorder. Grace bore him two children before the wife finally died and is now famous for extravagant shopping sprees at upscale London shops. She is known in the British and African tabloid press as "Zimbabwe's Imelda Marcos." But what has most upset Mr. Mugabe's liberal admirers is his attacks on homosexuals, whom he calls "worse than pigs and dogs." If the 20,000 Ndebele he killed had been homosexuals, the West might have forced him from power.
In 1980 there were more than 200,000 whites in Rhodesia. After the capitulation, two thirds ignored the West's ecstatic predictions of love and prosperity, and fled the country. The remaining 70,000 are now less than one percent of the population and completely at the mercy of black-run institutions.
Perhaps they might have listened to an Africa hand from an earlier time, Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965). The much-beloved musicologist, theologian, and doctor was known as "the greatest Christian of his time" and won the Nobel Peace Price in 1952 for missionary work in Africa. Near the end of his life he wrote:
"The negro is a child, and with children nothing can be done without the use of authority. We must, therefore, so arrange the circumstances of daily life that my natural authority can find expression. With regard to the negroes then, I have coined the formula: 'I am your brother, it is true, but your elder brother.'"
George Kimble is a businessman who has lived for several years in Africa.
Chenjerai "Hitler" Hunzvi is a medical doctor who received his training in Poland. He took the name Hitler during the guerrilla war against white rule during the 1970s. He is now leader of the Zimbabwe War Veterans Association and leads the farm invasion movement that has thrown the country into chaos.
Zimbabwe has a War Victims Compensation Fund from which blacks are paid substantial sums if they can prove they were wounded in the war. Dr. Hunzvi rose to power by making himself useful to Zimbab-we's ruling elite: He certified that dozens of people in the Mugabe circle had imaginary but profitable war wounds. He discovered wounds for himself and his own circle, sometimes without even bothering with examinations. He has been charged with fraud, and has actually made court appearances during the current crisis.
He showed up for a May 3 court date with 600 screaming supporters who delayed proceedings for two hours before they could be packed away out of earshot. In their anti-white fervor, they mobbed Mr. Hunzvi's own lawyers, whose fate might have been uncertain if their client had not identified them and called off the crowds. War veterans have also accused Mr. Hunzvi of looting several million Zimbabwean dollars (Z$38.35 = US$1.00) from Zexcom, an investment trust set up to benefit ex-guerrillas.
At the very least, Mr. Hunzvi has diverted money from the war-wounds compensation fund, leaving less for those who were actually wounded. At worst, he has stolen from a fund set aside to benefit veterans. In Africa, this is the sort of man who leads the farm invasion campaign in the name of just compensation for old soldiers.
Martin Olds was alone on his farm 400 miles southwest of the capital, Harare (formerly Salisbury). There had been threats of danger, so he had sent his wife and two children to relative safety with friends. At dawn on April 18, hundreds of armed men arrived at his farm house in a convoy of 14 cars and a tractor trailer. They attacked the 42-year-old former soldier, who held them off for several hours with a rifle and a shotgun. At one point a rifle bullet shattered his leg and he radioed a neighbor: "I've been shot and I need an ambulance."
Farmers rushed to his assistance, but were fired on when they approached his compound. They reported that many of the blacks were drunk. Mr. Olds splinted his own leg and went on fighting, wounding several attackers. The two-hour gun battle ended when the blacks set his house on fire and he was forced out into their hands. They beat him to mush and then shot him twice in the face at close range. The "war veterans" then got into their vehicles and drove away.
Just a few hours later, Robert Mugabe gave a television address that some had hoped would be a plea for peace and reconciliation. Instead, he said: "Our present state of mind is that you [whites] are now our enemies because you really have behaved as enemies of Zimbabwe. We are full of anger."
Not long after this speech, blacks attacked an isolated cottage a few miles outside of Harare, where they beat a white man unconscious with a brick, then tied up and raped the man's 25-year-old wife and her 18-year-old sister. After the rape they poured what they thought was gasoline on the wife and tried to light it, but it was furniture polish and would not burn. The blacks ransacked the house, loading up the man's pickup truck with loot and then tried to burn the house down. They failed at this, too, and then drove away in the stolen truck. Throughout the assault on the women they accused them of being enemies of Mr. Mugabe and of supporting the MDC.
Another farmer, David Stevens, was summarily shot by a gang of men who said they were supporters of Mr. Mugabe. When five other white farmers went to his assistance the attackers threatened to kill them. They fled to a police station, seeking refuge. The police did nothing as the blacks dragged them from the station and beat them.
In the latest killing of a white farmer, on May 8, Alan Dunn was at home with his wife and three teenage daughters when a man knocked on his back door and asked him to come outside. Five men then beat him to death, fracturing his skull and breaking his arms. Mr. Dunn was a regional executive committee member of the MDC.
When "Hitler" Hunzvi, who has been leading the farm invasions, was asked to comment on the murder, he said: "There is nothing to say. He is dead."
Shortly after the killing, in the first alleged case of violence by whites, a black claimed from his hospital bed that he was set upon by a group of white farmers who first asked him if he had known Mr. Dunn.
What the Gonzalez
Nonsense Really Means
When the chips are down,
Cuban-Americans are Cuban, not American.
by Jared Taylor
The way they saw it.
The absurd flap over what to do with Elian Gonzalez has been publicized, analyzed, and dramatized nearly to death. But the saturation coverage has generally missed the most significant aspect of the struggle: what it says about the irreconcilable racial and ethnic divisions in Miami and the rest of the country. This exhausting, expensive, no-end-in-sight battle arises out of the very "diversity" that is supposed to be America's great strength. It shows that Americans, like people everywhere else, think with their blood. It shows that when the chips are down Cuban-Americans are Cubans, not Americans.
To begin with, opinion over what to do with the boy splits starkly along racial lines. A newspaper poll of Miami-Dade County residents found 83 percent of Cuban-Americans want young Gon-zalez to stay in America. Seventy-six percent of non-Hispanic whites want to send him back to Cuba, as do an overwhelming 92 percent of blacks. Non-Cuban Hispanics are more sympathetic towards their fellow Latinos, with 55 percent saying the boy should stay.
Whites and blacks who live in Miami are considerably more likely than whites and blacks in the rest of the country to want to send Elian home. This is because they deal with Cubans all the time, which makes them less rather than more likely to support their interests. It is a universal rule: the more real contact groups have with each other the worse their relations.
The huge number of blacks, in particular, who want to give the boy back to his father does not represent love of family so much as resentment of Cubans. Miami blacks are unhappy that Cubans scrambled up over their backs and now run the place. Cubans are also harder to hustle and intimidate than whites. "We have had more problems with Cubans in power than with whites," complains Bishop Victor Curry, president of the Miami-Dade County NAACP. Blacks also resent the fascination for one six-year-old Cuban when no one cares about the thousands of black Haitians bounced back to their miserable homeland every year. They complain — mistakenly — that the U.S. government would crush open ethnic resistance if it were mounted by blacks.
Cubans have vowed not to forget what blacks have been saying. "People will pay for this," warns Miami businessman and activist, Ramon Suarez-Del Campo. "When black politicians come to Cuban politicians asking for favors or some help in the future they are going to say, 'Where were you for Elian?'"
Whites were unnerved as their Cuban-run city seemed to secede temporarily from the Union. In March, the mayor of Miami-Dade County, Alex Penalas, said his police force would not cooperate if the feds came to take the boy away, and all but predicted violence if they tried. Miami Mayor Joe Carollo also promised that the local police would not cooperate.
When the INS finally struck, the aftermath said a great deal about Cuban-"Americans." The feds gave Miami Police Chief William O'Brien (no Cuban, he) advance warning about the operation. This was because city officers had been standing round-the-clock guard at the Gonzalez house, controlling protesters, and there was no telling what they would do if federal agents suddenly burst on the scene, guns drawn. Chief O'Brien sent the number-two man in his department to ride with the INS and reassure officers on the scene that the operation was on the up and up — but he didn't tell Cuban officials about the raid ahead of time. He knew they would probably have tried to put enough protesters around the Gonzalez house to thwart the snatch. Cubans were furious over the boy's removal and rioted in their frustration. They bayed for Chief O'Brien's head which, of course, they got. To no one's surprise, the new chief, Raul Martinez, is Cuban.
A few wags have noted that the U.S. has not seen such fierce defiance of federal power since the days when white Southern governors blocked school integration. This, though, is not a case of states' rights but national rights.
The people tramping the streets of Little Havana may be American citizens but they are Cubans-in-exile through and through. That is why they wave the Cuban flag rather than the American flag, and sing the Cuban national anthem, not "The Star Spangled Banner." In today's America, no one seems to think it odd that keeping the boy in the United States is a show of Cuban, not American patriotism. In some cases, it went even further. In the emotions after the raid, Cubans burned the American flag and flew it upside down.
This actually roused a few natives. An April 29 "Pro-American" rally in South Dade drew a mostly-Anglo crowd waving American flags for a change, and carrying signs that read: "Stop the Banana Republic," and "This is America. Speak English." One man told a reporter he had said to his wife, "We've got to get out of this place because those Cubans are totally out of control." The rally, publicized by word of mouth, drew 2,500 people but the media mostly ignored this uncharacteristic stirring of white discontent.
"Blood is a very special kind of sap," Göethe once observed, and the sap has been running high at the other end of the country, too. Last July, the American women's soccer team faced China in the Rose Bowl for the World Cup final. The Chinese team was from the Communist mainland, whereas most Chinese-"Americans" are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The American women were playing a foreign opponent and the Chinese-"Americans" were U.S. citizens. It didn't matter; they rooted passionately for the Chinese team.
"There are political differences, but because the team is Chinese, that's all we think about," explained Louis Wong, a 27-year-old Chinatown news vendor. "I'm a U.S. citizen, but I'm Chinese," pointed out businessman Edward Chang. Of course. What could be more natural?
These days it is no longer permitted to wonder how various "Americans" would react to a real crisis with a foreign country, to something more important than a little boy or a soccer game. America is just a place on the map, after all, with nice welfare benefits and a useful blue passport. When it really matters, you can always go back to being Chinese — or Cuban or Mexican or Haitian or Filipino.
Write Off the Liberals
Big government now requires immigration.
by Arch Stanton
I couldn't disagree more with the April cover story, "Don't Write Off the Liberals." Racial consciousness might have been common on the left a hundred years ago, but how many racially conscious lefties are there today? I'd rather look for the Holy Grail. Liberals love big government. Big government is our enemy. Ergo, liberals are our enemy. Let me explain why they can never be our friends.
In 1950 — after a half-century of two World Wars — Europe still held 22 percent of the world's population. After 50 years of peace (and almost as many years of birth control and abortion), the proportion is now down to 12 percent. Remember all those exhortations for Zero Population Growth a few decades ago? You can't say the Europeans didn't do their part.
No hope for them … ever.
Italy's birthrate is now 1.2 per woman, among the lowest in Europe. If this birthrate is unchanged, the population of Italy will drop from 57 million to 41 million in 50 years. Italy is not an anomaly. Some of the rates for other countries are: 1.07 for Spain, 1.26 for France, and 1.3 for Germany. Given that a rate of 2.1 per woman is considered the minimum necessary for population replacement, not one country in Europe is even sustaining itself.
You might say, "So what?" The Europeans will have a little more elbow room. The Black Death killed an estimated one third of all Europeans, but the continent survived. An important difference is that in the 14th century there was no big government. There was no social security, no socialized medicine, no welfare, no Medicare, no public education, no unemployment insurance. The 21st century Social Democrat knows that if the population is allowed to decline, social engineering programs will be in trouble. The welfare state needs a high birthrate, with plenty of young workers paying taxes. How do you maintain — much less expand — the welfare state with European-style falling birthrates? You can boost taxes only so much before people drop out of the system or work to subvert it.
The welfare state will not preside over its own dismantling. If whites will not have more children the solution is immigration: more people, more workers, more taxes. Immigrants bring a host of problems with them, but the welfare state welcomes social problems because they justify its existence. So we get more love-thy-neighbor exhortations, more hate crime laws, more diversity seminars, more tolerance exhibitions, more minority-friendly history, and endless opportunities for moral posturing.
Every indication is that folks in Europe are no happier with immigration than we are, but God help the public figure who lines up with his constituents. We know what happened to Jörg Haider. The European Union bureaucrats know that if Mr. Haider can hold the line on immigration in Austria, it can be held elsewhere in Europe, and if it can be held in Europe, it can be held everywhere. Then the lights will go out for big government. The welfare state will wither away because there won't be enough people to sustain it.
Unfortunately, the white folks in Europe have gotten used to entitlements. Even the slightest cutback — or even a reduction in the rate of expansion — brings out the socialist in everybody. But if there aren't enough natives to keep the gears of state turning, then the statists will bring in people of all nations and hues as exotic cuisine for Leviathan. What is true of Europe is true of the United States. Our birthrates are not as low as those in Europe but only because we have so many fertile Third-Worlders living here already. White American women are pretty much in line with their European cousins. And we are just as used to suckling at the public teat: What about my Social Security? My veteran's pension? My Medicare? My kids' guaranteed college loans?
This is why the liberal is our enemy and can never be our friend. He has created the big government programs and he wants more government, not less. If the locals won't procreate enough, he will bring in outsiders. It makes no difference if most of them are non-white, non-Christian, and non-English-speaking. If that bothers you, you are a racist, and you are the problem, not the immigrants.

Great trails to run on
Went today and the parking area was closed. Anyone know why? Still walked parked on street.
it's always nice to see dogs on the trail.
Great for starting out with. Beautiful woods and surrounding area. Running trail is really good too.
Rebecca S.
Great place to bring the dogs and get some exercise. Trails are clear and well marked. Some elevation changes, but easy 2.5 miles.
Great trail, well marked.
Matt P.
this is a good little park for running, riding or taking the dogs for a walk . Nothing to scenic but a good place to get off the roads and sidewalks. If you do all the trails and head down to money rocks and back you can do about 6 mile round trip. be warned the maps posted and trail colors have changed and as of this post did not match what was out on the trail.
This is a regular trail for me. Some parts easy to run, other parts a little rocky.
You can choose easy, short loops or extend and hook up with Money Rocks trails that can loop you back. Using All Trails recording feature can help you keep your bearing the first few times you connect different trails.
Nice parking area. No facilities.
solid trail. easy trek. well marked. blue blaze was a great easy loop. the destination brought me in at a road access. if you go down the road a bit more there is a nice parking area that can be used to access the trail.
I wanted a good hike my 5 yr old son would enjoy and this was perfect. We did a 2 mile loop through the woods. Blue and yellow blazes were marked very well.
A great, easy network of trails on the Welsh Mountain. A great, easy trail that leads you though the thick of the quiet woods. Blazes were well marked, and easy to follow at this Lancaster Consevancy property.

Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special PF 3TSB · Electric Guitar
The Classic Player series includes classic Fender guitars in a "Hod Rodded" version - the Jaguar Special PF 3TSB has the following updates compared to the original version: the Griffbrettradius is now comfortable 9.5", the low vintage frets were made by modern Medium Jumbo copies A typical problem with Jaguar and Jazzmaster guitars is the jumping out of the bridge from the bridge - Fender has reduced the distance between the tremolo and the bridge, replacing the old Floating Bridge with a massive Adjusto-Matic variant, some extra windings have been donated to the pickups, So the output has been significantly increased. All the typical Jaguar features, such as the lead / rhythm circuit with the characteristic knurled mallets and the slide switches for the pickups, have been retained.
A cool classic with a pimped inner life!

As of Saturday morning, FC Bayern have established a permanent bridgehead in the German capital with the opening of the club's first official fan shop in Berlin. A few hours prior to the Bundesliga meeting between Hertha BSC and FCB, chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge joined Claudio Pizarro and Pepe Reina to launch the 150 square metre shop on the first floor of the Mall of Berlin (Leipziger Platz 12, 10117 Berlin).
"Lots of Bayern fans live in Berlin," commented Rummenigge, watched by hundreds of fans and scores of reporters. "I think this shop is a good thing for all our local Bayern fans." At a quarter to midday, Rummenigge performed the ceremonial cutting of the tape to declare the store open, with Reina and Pizarro taking to the stage and signing autographs.
The fan shop in Berlin is Bayern's tenth official club store and the third outside Munich. FCB also operates shops in Oberhausen, North-Rhine Westphalia, and the rest area in the Irschenberg hills to the south-east of Munich.

I was recently commissioned to photography a newly refurbished apartment by Interior Designer Sandra Boitel of didiE Art & Decoration, Zurich. The apartment was located in the heart of Mayfair London and unfortunately for me on the 4th Floor with no lift, as I was passing the 3rd floor for the second time loaded down with equipment I promised myself I would go through and rationalise all of my kit. One of the problems with being a professional photographer is that you need to take back up kit or have a work round for most failures. This means you end up taking almost twice as much stuff as you need and on most shoots it is never even unpacked.
Anyway back to the shoot, Sandra the designer wanted to show the affect of her lighting scheme on the interior. This meant using a high proportion of the ambient lighting. Unfortunately for me most of the lighting was provided by vintage Edison type bulbs which produce a very orange light at around 2400K as opposed to the normal 3200K for tungsten lighting, also this type of lighting has quiet a narrow colour spectrum and therefore gives quiet poor colour reproduction. To try and maintain the ambient look I applied local fill flash only and covered the flash heads with ¼ or ½ CTO Orange gels this allowed some of the true colour of the furniture to be brought out without destroying the natural ambient look. It would have been much easier to have added more flash but I think this would have destroyed the natural look Sandra was looking for.

Is it ok to swap a hard drive from an Acer laptop to a Gateway? Just to to test if the Gateway's problem is the hard drive? Will that cause problems? Will it ruin the hard drive to try?

I dont see why not. There should not be any issues that come to mind; other than just making the connections on both systems are the same. Other than that; it should a-ok to do a swap.

I wanted to see if the Gateway wouldn't boot because of a bad hard drive. I put the Acer drive in it and it booted up and actually Windows looked pretty good. So the answer is yes it told me what I needed to know.
Also I put the drive back in the Acer and Windows is ok. I think the Acer has a bad graphics card. I hope to get a hard drive for the Gateway and it should work .
I've heard if you inform Microsoft you can move your copy of Windows to another computer as long as it's only on one pc. But I'll probably just buy another Windows disc.

This diabetic banana bread is not only easy to make but is delicious.
This bread is not only made with bananas but are made with sunflower seed butter, which give the bread a pleasing nutty flavor without the use of actual nuts.
If you do not have sunflower butter you can use almond butter or even nut butter will work with the recipe.
What is great with this banana bread recipe is all nut and seed butters are interchangeable.
Recipe Type
Degree of Difficulty
12 servings
1 large banana(s), mashed, 8-9 inches
2 large egg(s)
3/4 cup(s) sunflower seed butter, or nut butter
1/3 cup(s) maple syrup
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
1 tablespoon(s) coconut oil, melted plus more for greasing pan
1/2 cup(s) tapioca flour or starch
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon(s) ginger, ground
1/4 teaspoon(s) nutmeg, ground
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon(s) sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat an 8.5x4.5 loaf pan with coconut oil. Cut a piece of unbleached parchment paper to fit the bottom of the loaf pan and place in the pan. Coat the parchment with coconut oil.
In a medium size bowl, combine the tapioca flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
Into a blender, add the bananas, eggs, sunflower seeds butter maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice and coconut oil and process briefly to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the blender and process briefly until all the ingredients are combined into a batter.
