The issuance of a tax certificate on a parcel does not entitle the buyer to the property.
The holder of a tax certificate may not directly, through an agent, or otherwise initiate contact with the owner of property upon which he or she holds a tax certificate to encourage or demand payment until two years have elapsed since April 1 of the year of issuance of the tax certificate.
There are inherent risks involved in purchasing tax certificates. Miami-Dade County does not guarantee the condition of any property or title with respect thereto.

As many questions as answers surrounded Julian Assange's continued sojourn at the Ecuadorian embassy in London Thursday morning, as the Australian founder of WikiLeaks awaited Ecuador's response to his plea for asylum.
Mr. Assange's decision Tuesday to seek refuge at the small embassy across the road from Harrods department store in Knightsbridge, central London, has caused widespread bewilderment, especially among his supporters, several of whom stumped up cash for his £240,000 ($375,000) bail – money they may now lose.
Assange, whose WikiLeaks website caused a furor when it published secret US diplomatic cables in conjunction with some of the world's most respected newspapers in 2010, is trying to avoid extradition to Sweden, where authorities want to question him over alleged sex crimes. He claims that Sweden could extradite him to the United States, where, he says, he could face criminal charges punishable by death.
The logic behind this is perplexing, say legal experts, because Britain has its own extradition agreements with the US which it has not used against Assange. Indeed, civil liberties groups are often critical of Britain's use of the agreements.
Could still be arrested
Even if Ecuador does grant Assange asylum, he is still likely to be arrested by British police for breaching his bail conditions. Diplomatic convention prevents British police from entering the embassy without authorization from Ecuador. But Assange cannot leave the embassy without treading on British soil on the way out, thus exposing himself to arrest.
"Various deranged theories have emerged, like, Ecuador could protect Assange by making him a diplomat," said Matthew Happold, professor of public international law at the University of Luxembourg. "But no, it couldn't, because Britain would not recognize that."
"I have no idea why he's done this," he added. "I don't think any lawyer who had researched this would have advised him to."
Although Ecuador briefly offered Assange residency in 2010, it is thought to be unlikely to meet his request for asylum. Under Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — of which Ecuador is a signatory — countries don't give asylum to those accused of nonpolitical crimes.
Most observers conclude, therefore, that Assange's dramatic bid is an act of desperation. Last month, Britain's highest court upheld a ruling that his extradition to Sweden was legal. Last week, it rejected an attempt by him to reopen his appeal against extradition, saying it was "without merit."
Assange has until June 28 to ask European judges in Strasbourg to consider his case and postpone extradition on the ground that he has not had a fair hearing from the British courts.
"If I were to speculate, I would say his legal advisers have told him Strasbourg wouldn't stop him being extradited to Sweden," said Mr. Happold. Some legal experts wonder if Assange is planning to bargain with Sweden for assurances they will not hand him over to the US.
Even supporters may be disenchanted
Meanwhile, Assange's supporters are likely to have been disenchanted by his latest move. Besides jumping bail, Assange has aligned himself to a country that is no paragon of the values he has claimed to uphold himself, especially freedom of expression.
Its leftist President Rafael Correa has clashed with journalists since he took office in 2007, accusing a "media dictatorship" of undermining his rule. Opponents regularly accuse him of seeking to silence dissenting voices.
In an interview broadcast on Youtube on May 22, Assange expressed sympathy with Mr. Correa's war on media. And he is now relying on the diplomatic protocol that he disregarded in 2010 when he published confidential cables to protect him from serious charges. The lawyer representing his alleged victims has said they are dismayed by his efforts to evade justice.
But Juan Carlos Piedra, who heads the Ecuador in the United Kingdom Movement, a political organization that supports Correa, says that granting Assange asylum would be popular in Ecuador. "We support the decision to protect Assange," he says. "I think 90 percent of Ecuadorians would agree."
Beyond extradition or asylum, there is a third possible fate awaiting Assange. In 1956, Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty sought refuge in the US Embassy in Budapest. The Soviet-backed government refused the anticommunist cleric free passage to the airport and he stayed in the embassy for 15 years.

Canucks comeback falls short as they lose 3-2 in shootout to Sharks (with video)
The Canucks lost for the fourth time in their last five games Tuesday night, dropping a 3-2 shootout decision to the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Arena.
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have now lost as many games as they have won this season.
And if they don't get their power play going, things could get even worse.
The Canucks lost for the fourth time in their last five games Tuesday night, dropping a 3-2 shootout decision to the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Arena.
"Our power play was better today, but if your power play is minus-one it's tough to win games," said Vancouver captain Henrik Sedin.
"We have to start scoring goals. That's the bottom line."
The Canuck power play went 0-for-5 Tuesday and surrendered a short-handed goal to the Sharks' Adam Burish early in the second period that gave San Jose a 2-0 lead.
Vancouver is now 0-for-15 with the man advantage in the last six games.
"When you are down 2-0 it's tough to come back, but if you look at the game overall I thought we played good enough to win," Henrik said. "But again our power play should have come through for us late in the third and in overtime."
The Canucks had a 4-on-3 power play in OT, but could not beat San Jose goalie Antti Niemi, who was brilliant all night.
"I thought it was a hell of a game. I mean, it was hard fought from start to finish," said Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault. "We were down by two goals, we battled back, it was a great second goal from Jannik Hansen, the five guys on the ice won a whole bunch of small battles on the walls, screening their goaltender and we tied it up.
"In the third period and the overtime our power play had some great looks and their goaltender made some great saves. Then they had some great chances and our guys blocked a few shots and our goaltender made some great saves and it went to a shootout."
Joe Pavelski scored the winner in a four-round shootout, beating Vancouver goalie Cory Schneider with a backhand.
"We worked hard, we put a lot of pucks to the net, had some opportunities late, but Niemi played a real good game," Schneider said.
The Canucks fell to 11-7-4 — 11 wins and 11 losses. San Jose improved to 11-6-4.
"I think tonight we deserved a better fate, but overall our record isn't as good of late," said Vancouver winger Mason Raymond.
"I think we are playing some good hockey. I think we also know we can play better hockey. That comes from within the room. We know that as a club and as a group collectively that we can be better."
Niemi was terrific as the Canucks peppered him with 38 shots. He robbed Alex Burrows and Henrik Sedin on a Canuck power play late in the third.
Niemi stopped all 17 shots the Canucks fired his way in the first period and did a nice job of controlling his rebounds all night.
At the other end of the ice, it was a rebound that led to Scott Gomez's first goal of the season. Schneider stopped a long shot by Marc-Edouard Vlasic, but gave up an equally long rebound. Gomez pounced on it and put a shot through a sea of bodies that beat Schneider high to the stick side at 7:42 of the first.
The Sharks made it 2-0 when Burish scored on a short-handed breakaway at 4:43 of the second period. Burish was sprung free after a Henrik Sedin pass was picked off by San Jose defenceman Brad Stuart, who threaded a pass to Burish.
He beat Schneider glove side from just inside the blue-line. It was one that Schneider would like back.
But the Canucks battled back. Henrik Sedin cut the San Jose lead in half at 13:23 of the second, when he was the recipient of a pass from brother Daniel that bounced off Sharks' defenceman Matt Irwin and onto Henrik's stick. He beat Niemi with a backhand from the edge of the crease.
Hansen tied it six minutes later after a great shift with Raymond and Chris Higgins. The trio, along with defencemen Dan Hamhuis and Jason Garrison, controlled the puck in the San Jose zone for a lengthy stretch before Raymond delivered a back-pass to Hansen. He beat Niemi short side with a wrist shot from the edge of the left circle.
"That took five guys," Raymond said. "Everybody was chipping in. D's were holding pucks in, guys were working hard and it finished off with Higgie making a great screen that enabled Jannik to get a great shot off. It paid off and got us right back into the game heading into the third."
ICE CHIPS: The Canucks were scheduled to leave Wednesday morning on a rather unusual three-game road that makes two stops in Columbus, with a game sandwiched in-between in Minnesota ... Defenceman Keith Ballard left the game in the third period with a charley-horse and did not return.

Chemical companies can create this type of culture by refocusing leadership, rethinking their approach to safety-related communications and leveraging new digital technologies. And, they must address the challenges inherent in the industry's changing workforce demographics.
Ultimately, by building an effective safety culture, companies can not only reduce injuries, they can also strengthen production, increase operational agility and move ahead on their journey to high performance.
Ineffective safety culture that relies heavily on the collective behavior and norms of employees who must follow correct procedures
Conflicting overall business culture in which meeting production targets takes precedence over completing work safely
Inconsistent messages from leadership, whereby their words promote safety as a core value but their actions emphasize and reward production performance
Impending retirement of baby boomers who will take their experience-based knowledge of operations and safety processes with them
Hiring of newcomers, particularly millennials, who have a different mindset about work than older workers and who need to quickly be brought up to speed on safety and operations
In chemical plants, automation and the growing use of sensors and the Internet of Things are creating a vast amount of operational data. This data allows companies to implement mobile dashboards that show key safety and operational metrics.
Digital technology can enhance safety communications, particularly by engaging and motivating younger workers via text messaging, social media, gamification and other online/mobile applications.
With the generational shift taking place in the chemical industry workforce, the transfer of operational knowledge is critical to safety. Technology can help in several ways from knowledge bases to inexpensive virtual- and augmented-reality systems.
While increased safety is an important end goal, instilling a sound safety culture is even more vital as it can have a positive and powerful ripple effect throughout the organization. Bringing leadership, communications and technology together can help chemical companies establish and sustain a "production and safety" mindset as their workforce evolves.

Storm Doors
Will they reduce energy consumption?By Arnie Katz
Q: My father-in-law has been urging me to install storm doors on the house. He swears they will pay for themselves in energy savings. Is this really worth it?
A: Back in the day, installing storm doors was often recommended as a big energy saver. I installed a bunch of them. Then we started actually measuring things. I remember a project where we installed storm doors in a neighborhood and tracked the energy bills. Much to our surprise, in many of the homes with the new storm doors, the bills actually went up. As we drove down there to try to figure out what was going on, it became clear from the street: a lot of folks had the main door open, letting the sunshine stream in through the new storm door.
Letting more light into the house can have many benefits, but in this case, saving energy wasn't one of them. So, is it likely to make sense in your house? Here are a few things to consider:
1 What's the condition of your existing doors? If they are in really bad shape and very drafty, it would probably make more sense to replace the old door, particularly with an insulated door. In many cases, basic maintenance by replacing weather stripping and bottom sweeps may be more effective than a storm door.
2 How much sun does the door get? Putting a tight-fitting glass door over a door that gets more than a couple of hours of direct sun can have unintended consequences. If the primary door is wood, the heat build-up can deteriorate the paint or other finish very quickly. If it's metal, you can create a serious scald hazard, particularly for small children touching the door.
If the door is not in direct sun, a storm door can help protect it from the effects of weather and actually reduce necessary maintenance.
A well made, properly installed storm door can reduce energy use a bit, but it's very low on the list of things to do in most houses. Low-cost storm doors, on the other hand, tend to get caddywampus after a short time (yes, that's a technical term) and let a lot of outside air in around them. It's not worth it to get a cheap one.
Storm doors that double as screen doors in the warm season can sometimes save a few bucks by helping create cross ventilation and reduce the need to run the air conditioning, particularly in the spring and fall. Putting off using the AC for even a few weeks a year can reduce your bills, as long as you train the children (of whatever age) not to leave the main door open when the AC is on. And if the outdoor humidity is high, those cooling breezes will bring a lot of moisture into the house and make you uncomfortable (and turn your shoes green).
So what's the bottom line? Thank your father-in-law for his concern and appreciate the fact that he's trying to look out for you. Then show him you heard his concern by investing in some things that are more likely to save you money, like sealing your ducts, sealing between the house and the attic or getting a high efficiency water heater when it's time to replace your old one. There are some good reasons to install storm doors, but reducing energy bills is rarely one of them.

With the impending release of "World War Z", I thought the timing was perfect to do a top ten of one of my favorite types of horror movies, the Zombie Movie!
Believe it or not, Zombie movies are actually a pretty diverse sub-genre. They range from straight up horror movies and gorefests to low-budget campy films to outright comedies. Hell, earlier this year there was even a Zombie rom com ("Warm Bodies")!
With such a wide range of movies to choose from it wasn't easy narrowing it down to ten! Click through to see what made the list!
10) Dead Alive (1992)
Peter Jackson's 1992 gross out zombie comedy is more batshit crazy than I can even explain. A young man with an overbearing mother tries to protect her after she's been infected by the virus. Instead, he winds up turning their home into zombie central. Played for laughs, zombies get killed in the grossest, goriest, funniest ways possible. There's a massive zombie slaughter scene with a lawnmower that will leave you wanting a shower afterwards! Zombie tea parties, zombie intestines, and don't forget the zombie baby!
9) Return of the Living Dead (1985)
The zombie movie genre has no shortage of campy films, but few have established the kind of cult following that "Return of the Living Dead" has. With its punk rock fashion sensibilities, animatronic zombies, B-Movie queen Linnea Quigley, and the introduction of the zombie refrain "Brainnnnnnsss…" into the zombie lexicon, "Return of the Living Dead" is an unforgettable 80s classic. Based on a novel by "Night of the Living Dead" co-writer John Russo, it went on to spawn four sequels and create its own influence on the genre.
8) Zombie (aka Zombi 2) (1979)
In case anyone needs any incentive to check this one out, it features a scene where a zombie fights a shark. No kidding involved, a zombie fights a shark. The rest of the movie is a straight forward, dead rising from their graves on a small tropical island gorefest featuring 1970s level special effects and makeup! The zombies shamble but outnumber their prey, leading to lots of undead feasting! Directed by noted giallo director Lucio Fulci, this one has no shortage of blood and guts. AND a zombie fights a shark! What's not to love?
7) "Zombieland" (2009)
This zombie comedy introduces us to the "Zombie Rules" including "Cardio", "The Double Tap" and "Wear Seat Belts". A small group of ragtag survivors forms after a brief period of mistrust ("Mistrust" meaning robbing each other at gunpoint). Together they make their way to Pacific Playland, as it's just as good a destination as any. Along the way, attachments form, Twinkies are sought, and we get one of the greatest cameos ever! It's a fun comedy set in the midst of the zombie apocalypse! A sequel has been much conjectured about, but at this point it's reportedly not in motion.
6) "Dawn of the Dead" (2004)
Zack Snyder takes Romero's 1978 classic and turns it into a modern action/horror film. Solid acting and directing and modern production values make this one notable. As a group of survivors gather in a cleared out shopping mall, the people turn out to pose more danger to each other than the zombies do. As they prepare to make their exodus, will their band be able to pull together and do what needs to be done to make it out alive? Starring Sarah Polley and Ving Rhames, this film is one that gives remakes a good name.
5) "[Rec]" (2007)
A TV crew following a team of fire fighters on a routine night winds up on a call to a building that's ground zero for a burgeoning outbreak. While the cops and fire fighters investigate the call, the center for disease control quarantines the building. The TV crew and rescue workers are left trapped inside, wandering around a dark, zombie filled building with no hope for escape. This 2007 Spanish film is small-scale zombie terror at its best. It's already spawned two sequels and an English language remake!
4) "Shaun of the Dead" (2004)
"Shaun of the Dead" takes the stereotypical zombie apocalypse and inserts two slacker buddies as the unlikely heroes. Though the world is falling apart around them, Shaun and Ed still head for the pub. Their thinking? "It's safe". Gathering a small group of people close to them, they brave the zombie outbreak trying to reach the safety of their local bar. Hilarity, romance, and zombie battling action ensue. One of the most famous horror-comedies of all time, it also introduced the world to the comedy duo of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.
3) "28 Days Later" (2002)
Though it wasn't the first movie ever to feature zombies that could run, it certainly felt as though Danny Boyle introduced the world to the concept of "Fast Zombies" with this horror story of an outbreak that devastates the population of Britain. In an unforgettable scene to start the movie, Cillian Murphy's character awakens to an empty London. As with all good zombie movies, the humans in the film are just as frightening as the zombies, and the "safety" that gets reached is just as dangerous as what the survivors are fleeing.
2) "Dawn of the Dead" (1978)
George A Romero's follow-up to his classic "Night of the Living Dead", "Dawn of the Dead" gives the requisite dosage of zombie action, coupled with a scathing indictment of the American culture of consumerism. Many point to the shambling zombies wandering the mall as American shopping send up, but in my opinion it's the period of contentment the survivors go through when their material needs are met that's the most damning! As long as we have our "stuff", who cares what hell rages outside our gates? Classic movie from the master of the genre!
1) "Night of the Living Dead" (1968)
This is the movie that started it all. There may have been movies about zombies prior to this, but they were of the voodoo kind, not the flesh-eating undead variety. George A Romero's low-budget, independently made horror film redefined the very term. Released pre-MPAA, it was highly controversial for its shocking levels of violence. Its classic, massively influential place in movie history, coupled with the shockingly brilliant ending that retroactively makes the film a condemnation of racism makes "Night of the Living Dead" the greatest zombie movie ever made!
Well, there you have it folks. The Top Ten Zombie Movies!
What do you think? Any that I have too high or too low? Did I make any glaring omissions? Any that I've included that you don't think belong?
Let's hear it!!

Western policymakers are becoming increasingly anxious about China's foothold into Greenland, particularly its desire to produce the semi-autonomous island's rare earth metals – the materials used in high-end electronics, from smart phones and smart bombs to clean energy technologies, including wind turbines and advanced batteries. But policymakers can rest assured that there is more to China's foray into Greenland than meets the eye – and not as much cause for concern.
A Thawing Frontier
Greenland's icy frontier is transforming before our eyes. Climate change is contributing to a hastened retreat of the island's massive ice sheet and ushering in new opportunities for the 57,000 people living in the northern hinterlands.
The island's extractive industries are poised to be the biggest winner, as the thawed ice reveals new deposits of raw materials, everything from iron ore to aluminum. (Read More: Rocking the Boat in the Energy Rich South China Sea)
Rare earths are the big prize. The small town of Narsaq sits near one of the world's largest deposits of rare earths. According to Greenland Minerals and Energy Ltd, one of the island's leading mineral development companies, that deposit could contain about 10.3 million metric tons of rare earth metals, equivalent to about 10 percent of the known global reserves (which today total about 110 million metric tons, according to the U.S. Geological Survey).
China is making a play for those resources, apparently, courting the government with infrastructure projects and other investments that are intended largely to help Chinese companies acquire the production rights to mineral deposits, including rare earths.
Rare Earth Dominance
Western officials are particularly concerned about China's potential control over Greenland's rare earths. Driving this angst is the fact that China has a near monopoly on the global rare earths market already (it produces about 97 percent of the world's rare earths – even though it only holds about 50 percent of the known global reserves) and that Beijing limits rare earth exports to help satisfy its own domestic demand.
It is difficult to overstate that a steady global supply of rare earths is important. After all, these metals are critical to advanced technologies and have few – if any – reliable manufacturing substitutes. (Some technologies can substitute rare earths, but they do not have the same effective properties.) Consequently, China's outsized share of the global market gives it some leverage over others, which it has used before for geopolitical gain.
Indeed, policymakers have fresh memories of China halting exports of rare earths to Japan in 2010 when the two countries were locked in a bitter maritime dispute in the East China Sea. While officials in Beijing claim they never sanctioned an embargo on rare earth exports, Chinese customs officials are reported to have prevented them from being loaded onto Japanese-bound freighters. Naturally, U.S. and other Western officials are concerned that China's control of Greenland's rare earths would only add to its sizeable share of the rare earths market and its ability to exert geopolitical pressure on those countries dependent on Chinese rare earths. (Read More: How to Neutralize Energy Competition in the South China Sea)
But how worried should Western officials be about China's potential monopoly on Greenland's rare earths? A couple of points are worth mentioning that should help allay concerns.
First, China's share of the rare earth market is in relative decline. Sure, China produces 97 percent of the world's rare earth resources. But the United States has ample reserves as well; we are just not producing them – yet.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States holds about 13 million metric tons of rare earths, or about 12 percent of the known global reserves. The United States used to produce these minerals too. Yet when U.S. states adopted more rigorous environmental standards to protect local watersheds and the surrounding environment, U.S. producers found it much more difficult to compete with cheaper Chinese metals that did not need to follow the same production guidelines. So U.S. producers stopped extracting them.
But that is starting to change as prices rise, allowing U.S. producers to compete with Chinese industry. One of the largest U.S. mines is in Mountain Pass, California, where Molycorp is leading an effort to kick start production there. Meanwhile, Australia and Malaysia are planning projects to ramp up production of their known reserves as well. Other countries are likely to follow suit, including India and other states in Central Asia. Naturally, all these efforts will help diversify the market. So even if China secures the rights to Greenland's rare earth metals, the market is already becoming more diverse, and there is little cause for concern that China will continue to monopolize the industry.
Second, China's drive to develop Greenland's rare earths may be driven more by its economic than geopolitical interests. Chinese production of rare earth elements appears to be in decline – particularly heavy rare earths that are used in advanced technologies. Naturally, Chinese industry leaders appear to be seeking to diversify their resource base. After all, global demand for these metals is on the rise and there are profits to be reaped from China sustaining its place as a major producer of rare earths. Greenland's rare earth deposits present an opportunity for it to expand its sources of these minerals. (Read More: Why China is Getting Their Feet Wet in the Oil Sands)
Moreover, there is really little incentive for officials in Beijing to wield the country's rare earth industry for geopolitical gains. China's 2010 embargo against Japan is more likely a one off event than the beginning of a pattern of behavior. After all, sparking a trade war with the West is not in Beijing's interest. In fact, it was largely this incident in the first place that stoked Western concerns and kicked start growth in non-Chinese rare earth production.
Finally, China's path to the Arctic runs through Greenland. Developing Greenland's rare earth reserves may not offer any potent geopolitical benefits. But Greenland is footsteps from the Arctic, and officials in Beijing may be betting that Greenland can be China's entrance to the top of the world. In that vein, developing the island's rare earths and other minerals may just be a means to an end. Indeed, royalties and taxes from producing those raw materials, in addition to the other Chinese infrastructure projects, seem to already be helping China's Arctic cause. For example, Beijing is seeking permanent observer status on the Arctic Council – the region's intergovernmental forum – and Greenland has come out in strong support of its bid. If China is successful in getting observer status on the Council, Beijing would have stronger influence in shaping Arctic governance, including how to manage the region's natural resource wealth.
But when it comes to China's interest in Greenland's rare earths, Beijing is acting more like a businessman than a boogeyman. So folks, a deep breath is in order. If Beijing does manage to acquire the exclusive rights to develop Greenland's rare earths, don't expect the geopolitical balance to go out of whack quite that easy.

I smoke. That's right, one or two of us, despite all the research and lecturing and (often) revolting anti-smoking campaigns, still exercise our free will and engage in a behavior we know is bad for us, and against which we're too addicted or stubborn or ignorant to revolt.
I'm okay going outside to smoke, in the cold and wind and snow. I'm totally for not smoking around kids. I'm even okay with the constant "Tisk-tisk, don't you know how unhealthy that is" and the "You should quit" and the looks of indignation, mortification, or disdain on the faces of passersby (not to mention my mom).
But before you ask what's this got to do with the GMAT, let me go ahead and answer: Not too long ago I took the GMAT. I went in with a couple other Bell Curves instructors during the research study for the new in Integrated Reasoning section, and it didn't go exactly according to plan. Why? Cigarettes. Or rather, the lack thereof.
I get to the testing center around 12pm for my 12:30 appointment. I've taken the GMAT a number of times before – most recently in Munich, Germany and Marquette, MI (I blogged about both experiences here and here) – and since I teach prep courses for the GMAT I'm fairly familiar with the test. The breaks are short – now 8 minutes – and as I wait for all the security procedures associated with check in, I roll myself a couple of cigarettes (yes, I'm one of those).
Naturally, I come in for a bit of ribbing from my colleagues there with me. Then, from the Pearson rep at the check in desk, I hear something that leaves me nearly gasping for breath: "You can't leave the premises at any time. For any reason."
She wasn't talking to me, but might as well should have been. A moment before, I was happily anticipating my run down to the street at the first break. You see, I smoke more or less one cigarette every couple hours. Moreover, I've become conditioned to want a cigarette after (or during) stressful events. The GMAT, even for me, involves more stress than sitting at the office. Moreover, during the practice GMAT I took beforehand I took a few minutes to smoke a cigarette during each break. Moreover, all the other times I've taken an official GMAT was able to go out and indulge my habit, er addiction, er desires.
Here though, it was not to be. Having happily rolled my cigarette (Exhibit B), I went into the test, breezed through my AWA Essays with sarcastic aplomb, and figured I might as well burn through the Quant too because I might only get one shot at smoke break.
Wrapping up the Quant I was taxed, and jonesing for a smoke. I went through the required procedures. At my locker I was putting my cigarette case in my pocket when I heard a familiar voice, "You can't use your cell phone, sir!"
I look up to find the Pearson agent grilling me like Sgt. Slaughter, sans Aviators. "I'm not," I say, taking my phone from the locker as proof.
"Then what did you just put in your pocket?"
Is she kidding? It's not my phone, what the hell business is it of hers? I should have just said it's my insulin (I'm not diabetic), but I was fried and really not on my clandestine game. "My cigarette case," I say. I know it's lost as soon as the words escape my mouth.
She reiterates that I can't leave the premises. So now I'm fried and furious and even more in need of a smoke. Seems like a great time to rock some Verbal and a practice IR section.
Or not. My focus was shot. I couldn't concentrate, found myself rereading questions two or three times just for them to make sense. By the time the IR rolled around I was a complete mess. My brain felt like putty getting kneaded by some little kid's hot, sweaty hands. It felt so bad I actually feared GMAC might think I hadn't taken the research IR section seriously and would withhold the $25 rebate promised to all those who took it "in good faith."
I finished up, got my scores, staggered through security and out into the street, where I chain smoked the two cigarettes I'd rolled nearly FIVE hours before. I often go without smoking cigarettes for stretches of 5 or more hours…every night when I go to sleep that is. I routinely go three hours without a cigarette, but usually when I'm engaged in something decidedly not stressful, and usually athletic. But over three hours of GMAT without a cigarette? Harsh. Nearly five hours without? Cruel and unusual punishment as far as I'm concerned.
Ordinarily I wouldn't carp about this, but there's a reason: it's quite unfair to prevent people from smoking if they smoke. It's an unfair advantage for those who don't. Let me explain. GMAC makes a big deal of ensuring that everyone's testing experience is fair. They vet questions religiously. They research and implement security procedures that leave you half-expecting a strip search – bend, cough and all (they even make you pull out your pockets like some common criminal every time you enter the room). They have procedures in the the testing room to ensure no distractions. They have phone and email reps on stand-by for test-takers to report
suspected "unfair testing conditions."
And yet, they sub-contract another company to conduct all the tests. Worse, this company inconsistently operates their various facilities. Keep in mind that I've left for smoke breaks for every other Computer Adaptive Test I've ever taken. Keep in mind that GMAC says procedures are dictated by the respective facilities, yet nowhere can you find a list of what these "procedures" are. Part of a "fair testing environment" is consistent application of procedure. Essentially, a segment of the testing population has an UNFAIR advantage at centers that aren't Herald Square in NYC.
I tried to call the so-called "Fair Testing" hotline. You can guess what they told me. Just another place where smokers get the short end of the butt.
All kidding (and whining) aside, the simple existence of these inconsistencies engenders an unfair testing experience. Simply universalizing the conditions, then making those conditions available to the public, would make it level for everyone. As it were, my verbal score dipped about 7 points from my average (49/48 –> 41), and the total score fell as a consequence. I still scored over 700, and I really couldn't care less what the final score was since I'm never going to apply to business school. But what if, like so many of my students, I was primed and ready to take my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd test, had been studying hard for months and was ready to show my stuff in time for Round 2 applications. What if, instead of the score I should have gotten, I got a score that knocked me from "full scholarship" to hello $150,000 debt? Or from 'you're accepted!!' to 'sorry, thanks for you $250 application fee'?
So, what's the moral of the story here? The takeaways if you will?
1) Plan for all anomalies and all contingencies – I should have recognized that smoking was/is an integral part of my test-taking approach (the prudence or health of such a circumstance is irrelevant here). Given that, I should have considered the possibility that I might not be able to leave. I could have taken steps to minimize the potential impact of not being able to smoke during the test – from practicing without smoke breaks to (the more unsavory) procurement of a nicotine patch or chewing tobacco (see photo: Addiction – Exhibit C). Instead, I was caught unawares, and my score suffered for it.
2) As always, practice like it's the game (in all facets) – As alluded to in 1 above, practicing without smoke breaks could have prepared me for the situation I faced on test day. We often fail to realize how much variance can exist between practice tests and the real test. When practicing, do you have a perfectly austere environment in which to take tests? Guess what? The testing environment is anything but austere. Conversely, are you annoyed by the deadened silence of earplugs or the bulkiness of noise-canceling headphones? Guess what? Those are only two options to cancel out the annoying guy/girl next to you who sighs incessantly, drums on the table, or reads aloud at a level just noticeable enough to throw you off your game but not enough to alert the overseer assiduously studying your visage on his video feed. The more you know about the test environment, and the better you can replicate it during practice, the better your score will be.
3) Don't Smoke – Just kidding. Smoke'em if you want to. It's your life. If you do, just be sure you plan accordingly for GMAT test day. Your score is likely a lot more important to you than mine was to me.
Until next time…

Every one of us contributes pollution to our streams, bays, and coastal waters. The wastewater, dirt, and debris of our lives eventually drain downstream. Each of us must minimize our contribution to keep our waterways healthy and enjoyable. Some materials are powerful pollutants like raw sewage, petroleum, or pesticides, but even natural, biodegradable plant materials can add nitrogen to waterbodies and cause algal blooms and fish kills.
All discharges and dumping into the stormwater system are illegal, except for the following:
Another significant source of pollution in our rivers and streams is sediment eroding from disturbed land. The sediment increases the turbidity of the water, hinders light transmission, smothers aquatic organisms, and transports other pollutants. Both aquatic plant and animal life are affected by this pollutant. The largest source of soft sediment from erosion is typically construction sites where land has been disturbed. For this reason, most all construction sites are required to employ measures to prevent eroded sediment from reaching nearby waterways.
Select the Report an Incident link to provide details to the County investigator. Don't be brief; Describe everything you know about the situation. It is essential that you thoroughly describe the facts. Describe exactly where the problem occurred, including the address. Be specific about how much material you saw. Describe the people involved. Was the weather an important factor? What was the exact time and duration of the event?
The investigator may telephone you to get additional information. In addition, you will be contacted about the how the situation was resolved (assuming the report is not anonymous).
The County may choose to report this illegal discharge to another agency in the County, federal, or state government. Incidents involving an imminent threat to public health or safety may be referred to Emergency Response or to the law enforcement agency with appropriate jurisdiction. Your pollution report will not be published on the Water Atlas website, nor will it be sold to any commercial interests.

Alex Jones' spontaneous decision calling on Texans to protest the government's egregious threat of a federal blockade if the Texas Senate passed an anti-TSA groping bill resulted in hundreds of protesters storming the Capitol in Austin yesterday afternoon.
As we reported yesterday, the TSA and the Department of Justice resorted to financial terrorism by threatening a federal blockade that would have closed down Texas airports if the Texas Senate had followed the House in unanimously passing a bill that would have made TSA groping in the state a felony.
"There's never a dull moment at the Texas Legislature. The House and Senate were going about their regular end-of-session business on Wednesday when loud screams could be heard coming from the rotunda. Outside the chambers, a group of mostly men and a few women were screaming, "Cri-mi-nal! Cri-mi-nal!" and "Treason! Treason!" reports the Texas Tribune.
The quickly arranged demonstration was announced during Jones' radio show just hours beforehand. Next time around, there would be 50,000 protesters in attendance, he promised.
Media reaction to the event was mixed, with some accurately reporting the protest and others resorting to the usual brand of sneering arrogance we've come to expect from the corporate press.
Despite the fact that the intimidation tactics of the federal government, which will surely backfire as a massive shot in the arm for the states' rights movement, scuttled the anti-grope bill in Texas, there are numerous other states that are already debating or preparing to introduce similar bills.
The feds cannot keep relying on mafia-like behavior to preserve the ability of their criminal army of minimum wage perverts to molest children, at some point down the line lawmakers will have the guts to stand up and say no, and at that point a wave of TSA resistance will sweep legislatures across the country.
Watch more videos of the protest below.

MONTREAL - A total of 11 protesters were detained by Montreal police just before 9 a.m. Tuesday following "a physical confrontation" involving students and Université de Montréal security guards inside a classroom, Commander Ian Lafrenière said.
Six are expected to face Criminal Code charges of assault and assault on a police officer, he said.
The other five were released and have not been charged.
The fracas took place about 8:45 a.m. in a psychology class being given on the second floor of the Jean Brillant Pavilionat 3200 Jean Brillant St.
Lafrenière said police officers stationed immediately outside the building entered and intervened at the request of individuals who rushed out of the building.
University spokesperson Mathieu Filion said it was the sole disruption Tuesday of which the school administration is aware. A total of 287 classes have been scheduled for Tuesday as part of a push to finish the winter-spring semester, interrupted by a student boycott that began in February. The boycott was a protest against plans to raise university tuition across Quebec.
The catch-up classes are to finish Sept. 28.
At the Université du Québec à Montréal, protesters disrupted several classes for a second day in a row Tuesday, clapping, drumming and singing to forcing teachers to abandon their courses.
On Monday, administrators reported about 100 protesters forced the cancellation of 60 out of a total of 180 morning classes in the social sciences, arts and political science departments where student assemblies had voted for a strike. On Tuesday there were fewer protesters, UQÀM administrators said, but they were still able to block several courses.
"I'm fed up and I'm tired – it's been six months of this," said political science student Alia Hassan-Cournol, a third-year political science student who once supported the strike, but no longer. "You have to finish this at some point."
The student council for the social sciences department, where roughly 700 students voted 60 per cent last week in favour of the strike, said they are merely carrying out the wishes voted on by their members.
"Are we scared of Bill 78?" student council member Benjamin Gingras said, in reference to the special law enacted by the Liberal government that threatens fines as high as $125,000 and the shuttering of student association offices for groups that support class blockages. "Yes and no. But for us, we feel Bill 78 is invalid, and we would contest any fines in court."
Students voted in their general assembly to do whatever necessary to force a cancellation of courses, even at the risk of heavy fines.
Several students interviewed by The Gazette at UQÀM said it was time to bring in the police and resolve the issue, even if they, too, don't necessarily agree with Bill 78.
At UQÀM, the administration's policy is not to call in the police unless personal security is at risk. Spokesperson Jenny Desrochers said the fear is that bringing police in could exacerbate an already volatile situation and endanger the safety of students and employees.
Over two days at UQÀM, more than 100 classes have been cancelled to date because of the acts of protesters. At the U de M, where police have been intervening, authorities there say only four out of approximately 480 courses have been cancelled so far over the last two days.

Besivance Suspension, Drops (Final Dose Form)
GENERIC NAME(S): Besifloxacin
OTHER NAME(S): Besivance Drops, Suspension
This medication is used to treat bacterial eye infections. Besifloxacin belongs to a class of drugs known as quinolone antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
This medication treats only bacterial eye infections. It will not work for other types of eye infections (such as infections caused by viruses, fungi, mycobacteria). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
How to use Besivance Suspension, Drops (Final Dose Form)
To apply eye drops, wash hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.
Do not wear contact lenses while you are using this medicine or while you have the bacterial eye infection. Sterilize contact lenses according to manufacturer's directions, and check with your doctor before you begin using them again.
Before use, hold the closed dropper bottle upside down and shake once to mix. Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place 1 drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place a finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than 1 drop and for your other eye if so directed. This medication is used in the affected eye(s) usually 3 times a day, with at least 4 hours or as many as 12 hours between each dose, or as directed by your doctor.
Your dosage and length of treatment are based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Continue using it for the full time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too soon may allow the bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.
Tell your doctor right away if your condition does not improve in a few days or if you develop new or worsening eye symptoms (such as discharge, swelling, redness, pain).
Side Effects
Temporary eye redness/itching/pain or temporary blurred vision may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat/eye/eyelid), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using besifloxacin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other quinolone antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as preservatives like benzalkonium chloride), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: other eye problems.
After you apply this drug, your vision may become temporarily blurred. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is not known whether this medication passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: other eye medications.
Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
This medicine may be harmful if swallowed. If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Do not share this medication with others.
This medication has been prescribed for your current condition only. Throw away the unused medication after treatment is completed. Do not use it later for another infection unless your doctor tells you to.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store tightly closed at room temperature between 59-77 degrees F (15-25 degrees C) away from heat, light, and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.

LONDON - Global efforts to thwart the drugs trade have failed and the time has come for a radical rethink, according to a group of Nobel-prize winning economists, a former U.S secretary of state, the deputy prime minister of Britain and others.
"It is time to end the 'war on drugs' and massively redirect resources towards effective evidence-based policies underpinned by rigorous economic analysis," the group said in a foreword to a new academic report on global anti-drugs policies.
Citing mass drug-related incarceration in the United States, corruption and violence in developing countries and an HIV epidemic in Russia, the group urged the United Nations to drop its "repressive, one-size-fits-all approach" to tackling drugs.
The UN is due to hold a drug policy summit in 2016. Debate on the merits of drugs liberalisation is already growing.
"(The UN) must now take the lead in advocating a new cooperative international framework based on the fundamental acceptance that different policies will work for different countries and regions," the foreword said.
Signatories of the text included five Nobel-prize winning economists - among them Kenneth Arrow, Christopher Pissarides and Thomas Schelling - as well as former U.S secretary of state George Schultz, British deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and Javier Solana, a former European Union foreign policy chief.
It accompanied a report on the impact of global anti-drug policies published by the London School of Economics on Tuesday.
Some countries in Latin America have begun to turn away from U.S-led attempts to stamp out drugs through prohibition.
Uruguay's parliament in December allowed the growing, sale and smoking of marijuana. Colombia's president has called for a debate on alternatives to the war on drugs. And Guatemala's president has said his country could present a plan to legalize production of marijuana and opium poppies this year.
Voters in the US states of Colorado and Washington passed backed legalizing the possession and use of recreational marijuana in 2012.
The LSE report listed ways that efforts to defeat the drugs trade have failed, including research that found that a crackdown on cocaine trafficking in Colombia might account for as much as 46 per cent of the increase in drug-related murders in Mexico as the trade shifted north.
It also cited estimates that drug offences were responsible for about 40 per cent of the 9 million people incarcerated around the world.

Notchup thus is trying to give a reason for all those professionals who are happy in their roles and may be doing well , to come online and to not only make money by charging for being interviewed but also open themselves to some real good opportunities and serious employers
Please find below a review of the site on Techcrunch
The problem with most job sites is that the people companies really want to hire don't put their resumes on them because they are happy in their current positions. If you are a star manager, chances are your employer knows it and is treating you well so that you don't even think about leaving. Who wants to bother looking for a job anyway if you don't have to? That's right up there with looking for a new house in terms of time-sinks to avoid.
The folks at NotchUp, a stealth startup based in Los Altos, California launching later this month, have a better idea. Founded by two Peerflix refugees, Jim Ambras and Rob Ellis, NotchUp tries to lure talented-but-complacent workers and managers into its recruitment pool by turning the job search on its head. Instead of desperate out-of-work employees going hat-in-hand to companies begging for a job interview, on NotchUp, the companies have to pay to interview you. This is supposed to bring out those passive job seekers every company really wants to find.
The site lets you set whatever price you like per interview, but also provides a calculator that takes into account your current position, experience, education, and salary to come up with a number. What I like about this approach is that it uses economic incentives to try to bring a better inventory of talent onto the market, just like Zillow does with its "Make Me Move" feature that lets people make unsolicited offers on houses that are not officially on the market. If a company is willing to pay you a few hundred or even a thousand bucks just to interview you, chances are they are pretty serious and it is not going to be a waste of time. It acts as a filter for both the employer and the prospective employee.
According to the site, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and Powerset are all corporate beta testers using NotchUp for recruitment (well, maybe not Yahoo). NotchUp is still in stealth. The only way to get into the site right now is to be invited by a current user, which is how I learned about it.
Setting up a profile is easy, especially if you already use LinkedIn. NotchUp just imports your LinkedIn profile, you set your price, and you are ready to go. Any friend you refer to the site who gets an interview earns you a 10 percent referral fee. As employers search the site, they can make offers to interview you, which you see in your inbox. You can choose to only get offers from corporations, or from headhunters as well. And you can block recruiters from any particular company (like the one you currently work for) from seeing your profile. The service is free for job seekers, and companies pay NotchUp a fee for each resulting interview.
NotchUp is a really good idea. It turns job hunting into something more people will want to do in a way that makes them feel good about themselves. Even if you don't get the job, you get paid for your time.

"We are facing an unprecedented emergency," [Toyota] President Katsuaki Watanabe told a year-end news conference. "This is a crisis unlike the crises of the past." ~ Toyota sees "unprecedented" crisis by Chang-Ran Kim, Reuters, 12/22/08
"When the bond market crashes [expected timing: 'any day now'], it's going to be 15 on the Richter scale. It's going to be enormous. It's far more dangerous than the stock market crashing. When the bond market crashes, the hyperinflation starts." ~ Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com, interviewed by The Gold Report
The tone and direction for the coming year seem clear enough: ominous, and downward. Down for living standards; down for levels of employment; down for world trade; down for investment portfolios and retirement funds; down for the prosperity and even the physical safety of the lower and middle classes in the United States and around the world.
Levels of freedom are headed downward also, as the power elite worldwide use the time-honored method of responding to a crisis – any crisis – as a tool to increase their own power. From ancient Rome to Hitler's Germany, from the U.S. Civil War to modern Zimbabwe, from the Great Depression to the terrorist events of 9/11/2001, crisis has worked so reliably as an excuse for power-grabs that one wonders why tyrants haven't thought of creating crises in order to increase and consolidate their power.
Thank goodness for small favors! What a nightmare it would be if tyrants (and their central bankers) ever did catch on to such an obvious tool.

it helped that the NJ bar is not too difficult. the girl next to me in the NJ exam had just taken the Delaware exam (a three-day exam from Mon-Wed), so it could have been worse.
has anyone taken both the NY and NJ bar together? Any tips? suggestions? caveats?

Galatasaray cannot afford Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder, says Fenerbahce chief
Galatasaray cannot afford to meet Wesley Sneijder's 'astronomical and absurd' fee, says Fenerbahce's vice-president.
Last Updated: 12/01/13 9:52pm
Sneijder appears to be on his way out of Inter this month and Gala are reportedly frontrunners for his signature.
The Holland international has cut an isolated figure at the San Siro this season, making just five Serie A appearances and publicly refusing to accept a two million euro wage cut.
Reports earlier this week suggested Galatasaray had a 10million euro bid accepted by Inter, while Sneijder's annual wages are believed to be above five million.
Fenerbahce chief Kigili fails to see how the move is financially viable, telling Vatan: "If what I'm reading about is correct, the cost of Sneijder is both astronomical and absurd.
"Where will Galatasaray get this money?
"Each transfer has to be well thought out. However, the amounts I'm hearing are simply blown out of all proportion."
Inter president Massimo Moratti is keen to see the saga wrapped up as speculation rumbles on.
He said: "I'm tired of this saga.
"I don't know how this story will end. Wesley will decide freely. He has the opportunity to move and we'll see if he takes it, otherwise he'll stay here."

Certainly, the bill should be repealed on its policies alone. After all, it takes healthcare decisions out of the hands of the American people and puts them into those of unelected bureaucrats; cuts $500 billion from Medicare; cuts $11 billion from New York's hospitals; and contrary to President Obama's promise that "if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it," 20 million Americans will no longer be able to keep their current plans.
When the Supreme Court announced its ruling to uphold the individual mandate requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance, I was certainly disappointed, but what disturbed me more was the reason why.
Republicans have argued from day one that Obamacare is unconstitutional under the Commerce clause, and in this case the highest court in the land agreed. What they did find, however, in a 5-4 decision, is that the individual mandate in Obamacare is in fact constitutional within Congress' power to impose taxes. In essence, the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate in Obamacare because it is a tax.
This is a rather curious ruling, since throughout the healthcare debate, President Obama promised that the middle class would not see their taxes increased by "a single dime." Time and time again, he sought to assure the American people that this mandate is "absolutely not a tax increase," yet this is the very argument the president's team used to uphold the law.
President Obama has misled the nation. He has pulled the wool over the eyes of the American people and broke a fundamental promise by imposing on us one of the largest middle class tax increases in the history of the country.
In light of this decision, I am more resolute than ever in my commitment to repeal fully this tax on our nation's hard-working families and the small businesses that we need to grow and create jobs.
The last thing our fragile economy needs is another devastating tax in the form of an unsustainable healthcare reform law which has already increased premiums, limited access, and reduced the quality of care for patients.
Unlike this president, I remain committed to demonstrating honest leadership in reforming our nation's healthcare system. This time, it must be done the correct way, by taking a patient-based, step-by-step approach to lower costs, expand access and preserve the highest quality of care possible.
The people of New York cannot afford to have this economy-crushing healthcare tax imposed on them, and I will do all I can to continue the fight to overturn it.

Brick walkways are a nice addition to the landscape. But if you decide to install one, you'll find the biggest challenge is making the base stable and the surface even. Before you begin the project, consider the following tips.
Your bricks should be hard-burned pavers. These pavers are strong, weather-resistant and can be used without mortar. Depending on your climate, common building bricks may not withstand freezing and thawing. You will need approximately five pavers per square foot of project.
Other materials you will need include an edging material such as steel, wood or rigid plastic; sand (coarse, washed concrete sand), gravel or crushed stone; a flat shovel or sod stripper; carpenter's level; tool for cutting pavers (broad-blade chisel, brick splitter or masonry saw); and a wood "screed" strip for leveling.
Using string and stakes, outline the area for the walkway, carefully measuring along the entire length of the project. A minimum 4-foot width is desirable. Be sure to include the width of your edging material when laying your outline.
A solid, well-packed base is vital for supporting a stable surface. Excavate down to a depth of the portion of brick below ground plus 1 to 2 inches of sand plus 3 to 4 inches of gravel. Tamp the ground. Apply gravel or crushed stone and tamp again.
Install edging material. Do not anchor the edging material until you have set a few rows of "practice bricks" to determine if your outline will work for you. After you are satisfied, remove the practice bricks and anchor your edging. To insure a tight fit, one side may be left unanchored until project completion.
Install sand base. Apply a fine mist of water to help settle the sand. Using your wood screed and carpenter's level, level the sand. You may want to have either a slight crown or have the sand slope slightly to one side to help excess water run off the walkway.
Begin laying the pavers. Work from the starting corner to the unanchored edge. The pavers should fit snugly with no more than 1/8 inch between each. Install a moveable string line across the front edge to help keep the walkway in alignment and use your level often during the process. Install only the full pavers during the first run. Cut the remaining pavers to size to complete the pattern. The cut pavers should be no smaller than 2 inches in width.
Anchor any unanchored edges.
To fill any gaps between pavers, apply sand over the top and sweep over the surface. It can take a long time and much sweeping to completely fill in the gaps. As you work with the sand, mist the area with water to help settle the sand. Sweep additional sand into the gaps over the next few weeks as necessary. Annual additions of sand may be needed to maintain the walkway.
