“This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.” ― Philip K. Dick
I was looking for www.erasethetruth.com.

Actually I had hoped it was another movie adapted from the work of Philip K. Dick....

Then again, it could have been the website for a certain candidate for mayor... Although I cannot mention her name because of my contract with the Baltimore Sun. Oh, well - gee, never mind. Nothing to see here folks, just move along. Onward through the day.

Okay, moving right along…. Let’s see… In the words of Mr. Dick, “My schedule for today lists a six-hour self-accusatory depression.” ― Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2013/04/erase-truth.html

People keep going to this home looking for their lost phones — and nobody knows why

People keep going to this home looking for their lost phones — and nobody knows why People keep going to this home looking for their lost phones — and nobody knows why http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2016/01/people-keep-going-to-this-home-looking.html
If your lost cellphone says it’s at this house, it isn’t

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/01/26/people-keep-going-to-this-home-looking-for-their-lost-phones-and-nobody-knows-why/?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_switch-lostphones-920am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

Christina Lee and Michael Saba live in an Atlanta house where several strangers come accusing them of having stolen their phones. Strangely, the phones are never there, and it's because missing-phone apps are mysteriously routing to this home. (Jhaan Elker/The Washington Post)

For months now, angry strangers have been showing up at Christina Lee and Michael Saba's front door with a curious demand: "Give me back my stolen phone!"

Sometimes, families will show up; other times, it's groups of friends or a random person with a police officer in tow, according to Fusion. Despite using different service providers, everyone who bangs on their door has been led to the suburban Atlanta home by a phone-tracking app.

The problem — as the couple desperately tries to explain visitors — is that the missing phones aren't at the house and never have been.

They are not, in fact, thieves. Saba is an engineer; Lee is a journalist.

The pair doesn't understand why exactly, but both Android and iPhone users on various networks are being directed to their house by phone-tracking apps.
Once the awkward situation is explained, most lost-phone-seekers are understanding. But the couple told Fusion that a smaller number of people who place absolute faith in their tracking technology are convinced that the couple is lying, provoking potentially volatile conflicts.

[…]

On several occasions, Fusion reports, the problem has led to serious misunderstandings, such as an incident in which the couple briefly became suspects in a missing persons case:

In June, the police came looking for a teenage girl whose parents reported her missing. The police made Lee and Saba sit outside for more than an hour while the police decided whether they should get a warrant to search the house for the girl’s phone, and presumably, the girl. When Saba asked if he could go back inside to use the bathroom, the police wouldn’t let him.

“Your house is a crime scene and you two are persons of interest,” the officer said, according to Saba.

Comptroller Franchot Halts Returns from Baltimore Businesses amid Pattern of Questionable Filings

Comptroller Franchot Halts Returns from Baltimore Businesses amid Pattern of Questionable Filings

-Effective Immediately Pending Investigation of Several Liberty Tax Franchises-

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (January 27, 2016) – Comptroller Peter Franchot today announced that his office would suspend processing electronic tax returns from several Liberty Tax Service franchise locations in the Baltimore metropolitan area due to a high volume of questionable returns received.

The businesses, which have been sent written notice of the action, are located at: 2400 E Monument St., Baltimore; 7730 Wise Ave., Dundalk; 1742 W North Ave., Baltimore; 2401 Liberty Heights Ave., Baltimore; 1808 Pennsylvania Ave., Baltimore; 3308 Greenmount Ave., Baltimore; and 503 W Lexington St., Baltimore.

Comptroller Franchot, pursuant to the recently signed IRS Security Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"), has shared this information with other tax agencies. The Comptroller’s Office also has advised the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation of the decision, so that they can take any additional appropriate actions.

The suspicious characteristics detected on the tax returns prompting the determination included:

*Business income reported when taxpayers did not own a business.

*Refund amounts requested much higher than previous year tax returns.

*Inflated and/or undocumented business expenses.

*Dependents claimed when taxpayer did not provide required 50 percent support or care.

*Inflated wages and withholding information.


Taxpayers should carefully review their returns for these issues and should be suspicious if a preparer: deducts fees from the taxpayer’s refund to be deposited into the tax preparer’s account; does not sign the tax return; or fails to include the Preparer Taxpayer Identification number "P-TIN" on the return. If taxpayers suspect fraud, they are asked to immediately report the issue to the Comptroller's Office by calling 1-800-MD-TAXES (1-800-638-2937) or 410-260-7980 in Central Maryland or by emailing TAXHELP@comp.state.md.us.

Thoughtful nonpartisan commentary on the current 2016 presidential election.

Thoughtful nonpartisan commentary on the current 2016 presidential election.

It increasingly appears that we have a choice between several  unpleasant alternatives - We have a choice between bad and worse.

Best thoughtful non-partisan description I have heard yet about the circular firing squad that is the current state of affairs in both the Democratic and Republican presidential races… "Good gets better, bad gets worse."

Jan. 24, 2016 on our way to the Westminster Fire Dept. we took a few snow pictures of Westminster City Hall – Emerald Hill. Since 1842 the home of founding father J.K. Longwell has stood a silent stoic sentry guarding Westminster against the vagaries of the weather and the test of time.

Live updates: Snowstorm in Carroll County.

Record amount of snow might descend on the Carroll County area today into the weekend, but the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department isn't backing down from the winter challenge.

"We're ready. Bring it on," said Richard Dell, a spokesman for the fire department.

Like other Carroll fire companies, the department has been preparing for the snow, checking its equipment and preparing its station to house firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics who will weather the storm at the station in order to make sure there will be staff available to cover emergencies. The upcoming storm, dubbed Jonas, could bring 18 to 24 inches of snow by the time it stops, according to the National Weather Service.

"We're here to take care of the people in our community, and we'll do that," Dell said.

Many of the departments are equipped with snow chains and four-wheel-drive vehicles. The Manchester department's ambulances are all four-wheel drive, and the company also has two four-wheel-drive utility vehicles, Dell said.

Fire and police departments also work with the county to make sure the roads they need to use are clear, Westminster Volunteer Fire Department spokesman Kevin Dayhoff said.

"The relationships that we have with the city and the county are invaluable," Dayhoff said.
