Here is a small list on how to tell if someone is lying!

1.  A change in the voice's pitch.
2. A change in the rate of speech.
3. A sudden increase in the number of "ums" and "ahs."
4. A change in eye contact. Normally, one makes eye contact one-quarter to one-half of the time. 5. If suddenly, at the convenient moment to lie, he's staring at you or looking away, beware.
6. Turning his body away from you, even if just slightly.
7.  Suddenly being able to see the white on the top and bottom of a person's eyes, not just the sides.
8.  A hand reaching, even if momentarily, to cover part of the face, especially the mouth.
Nervous movement of feet or legs.

Abbie Hoffman and The Yippies

When I was reading little Brothers by Corry Doctorow (See below post)  I found something that probably became my best friend!  Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies!  Hoffman is best known for trying to levitate the Pentagon, throw money into the stock exchange and work with a group called Up Against the Wall Motherf_ers.  Hoffman soon published the classic book on ripping off the system, Steal This Book.  (1971)  It is also online with Wiki for people to add on and modernize for the new generation.  Learn everything from printing underground newspapers to switch boards!  (Note some of this stuff deals with drugs, and street fighting!  Which we must say DO NOT DO!!!!!)  It's called Steal This Wiki!  You can find it here.  Enjoy and be safe!!!

A Brush Pass.



A brush pass is secret note giving (Sorry espionage is Luz's skill not moi) here are some tips to help you.

1. Make sure you and your friend have a code or a planned signal for a brush past. Ours is blink twice and tap leg with your note hand.
2. Your friend should also have a signal like scratching there noise. (Note do not make eye contact!!!!)
3. It's easier to just stand still! Have the note in the hand that your friend will be passing by!  Don't make eye contacted.
4. Your partner should accidentally brush past you.  If you are receiving the note the cup your hand toward the note.  Press the note into the hand, doing so don't make eye contact!  Always be third party aware!!!!!!!!  
5. You should practice practice practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
