5 ways to prep for next tax season
The hassle of doing your taxes is still a very fresh memory. Use that as motivation to take a few steps now to make next year's tax preparation much less stressful.
This post comes from Craig Donofrio at partner site Money Talks News.
Tax time might be out of sight once again, but it shouldn't be out of mind. There are ways you can -- and should -- be prepping for next year's round.
Now that you have this year's taxes out of the way, it's time to get a jump on April 15, 2014.
1. Keep personal information organized.
Were you scrambling to find your kid's Social Security number? Did you forget your spouse's birth date? Tracking down this information just adds more time to an already time-consuming process. Pick a safe spot to store all the info you need. Consider a fireproof and waterproof safe that's large enough to store important letter-sized documents.
What to store:
- Last year's taxes. You're going to want this year's tax returns to use as a guide for next year's, so keep them in a secure spot. If your life doesn't undergo major changes this year, filing taxes will be a breeze.
- Personal data. Keep a list of important information like Social Security numbers and birth dates for you and your family.
- Receipts. Start a receipt folder to store anything you might be able to deduct at the end of the year, such as home improvement purchases or business supplies.
2. Go digital.
If you'd rather go paperless, there are apps for that like DocVault. It lets you save 3GB worth of encrypted pictures and tax-related material like receipts and invoices, and allows you to add notes and tags to the photos for easy organization on DocVault's servers. Come tax time, you have the option of transferring those images directly to filing services TaxAct Deluxe or TaxAct Preparer's Enterprise.
Receipt Catcher is an app that lets you take a photo of a receipt, tag it with info, and then email it to yourself. When you're ready, you can print out a year's worth of receipts in a few clicks. The app costs 99 cents and is available for both Android and iPhone.
3. Start thinking about tax breaks.
Before you file those papers away, review which deductions and credits you qualified for in 2012 and determine which ones you'll be able to use this year. For example:
- Home renovations. If you're planning some home improvements, check out EnergyStar.gov's list of products that qualify for a tax credit.
- Home office deductions. I work at home, so I take advantage of all the deductions I'm allowed. Double-check and make sure your home office meets the IRS' requirements. Filing a Schedule C makes you 10 times more likely to get audited. Now is a good time to check this IRS fact sheet on what you can and can't deduct if you plan to upgrade your office.
- Other deductions. Finally, look for easy-to-miss deductions.
4. Review your documents.
Use your 2012 return to spot where you can and should save more money this year. For example:
- Mortgage rates. If you haven't already, maybe you should consider refinancing to a lower interest rate.
- Retirement savings. If you haven't put any money away for retirement, start now, even if it's just $40 a month.
5. Don't withhold too much.
Uncle Sam loves getting interest-free loans, and many taxpayers make it possible by overpaying their taxes. Last year, the average tax refund was $2,803. But there are ways to keep that money in your pocket. We have tips, like using the IRS' withholding calculator.
Take a few minutes to research what changes are in store for this year. Will the deductions and credits you used for 2012 be around for 2013? Are new deductions available? The more you know now, the easier it will be to minimize your tax liability.

What is STRIDERTM riding and racing?
STRIDER has developed a series of balance bike events to give toddlers and children from 18 months to 5 years old the chance to try out and develop their skills on two wheels at exciting and world class cycling venues and over bespoke tracks around the country.
Events in the UK range from Strider races and training to Adventure Zones, providing children the opportunity to develop their balance and coordination over preset courses.
The Strider British Balance Bike Championships enables children to test their speed and coordination over some of the UK's top BMX tracks.
Whether your child is an experienced rider looking to join one of our races or it's their first time – the series of STRIDER events has something for everyone.
Balance, coordination, and confidence all develop naturally when children experience group play and friendly competition on a STRIDER.
To join in the fun, register for an event now.
Strider Training
Strider is working with some of the top cycling and BMX centres across the country to offer regular weekly training opportunities for Strider riders to attend coaching and taster sessions.
Click here to find the nearest centre to you along with details as to where and when the training sessions are being held. To book on a session speak directly to the venue or organiser to ensure you reserve a place as they are proving extremely popular and in many cases are filling before the day.
What is a STRIDERTM Adventure Zone?
A STRIDER Adventure Zone is a safe and friendly environment that encourages kids 18 months to 5 years old to explore a world on two wheels and experience the challenge and thrill of riding over unique terrains and obstacles.
An Adventure Zone course can be set up in as small as a 10′ x 30′ area inside or outside and on almost any terrain.
STRIDER Adventure Zones help children to improve bike handling skills and further develop balance, control, motor skills and confidence.
They are events that allow children open riding time, time to socialise, play, practice tricks and generally just have a good time.
STRIDER Adventure Zones can be held just about anywhere but are often held in conjunction with STRIDER races, special community events, festivals, celebrations, shows and conferences.
What is the STRIDERTM British Balance Bike Championships?
The 2013 Strider British Balance Bike Championships is the first ever nationally coordinated series with over five Strider Cup qualifying events across the country.
The first event will be held in London on Sunday 5 May 2013, at a newly built BMX track in Mitcham. The subsequent events will be held throughout the summer in Hampshire, Kent, Birmingham, with the finals in Manchester in September 2013. The winner of the British Championships will be flown to Florida to represent Great Britain in the World Championships (see below for details).
Strider British Balance Bike Championships
These are a great way for anyone aged 18 months to 5 years old, no matter what their ability, to ride and race balance bikes over some of the best cycling and BMX venues across the country.
With fun races, qualifying races and finals – Strider events will allow everyone to have plenty of time on the track with an emphasis on creating a fun environment to inspire our next generation of cyclists.
Riders will race in groups against others of the same age. Finalists from each age group at each Strider British Balance Bike Championships (the number of which may vary from event to event) will automatically qualify for the invitation only Strider British Balance Bike Championships finals which will determine our STRIDER British Champion.

Strider British Balance Bike Championship finals
This event will be held at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester on 23 September 2013. Having qualified for the event at a previous Strider British Balance Bike Championship race, this will see the British Champions for 2013 crowned.
From the four age group winners on the day, one will be selected out of a hat to win the chance to represent Great Britain at the Strider World Championships held in Florida on 11-13 October 2013. The Prize includes return flights and accommodation for the winner and one parent.
Winner must be available to travel between 10-13 October 2013. Winner must be within the qualifying age for the World Championships and must have a valid British passport and/or visa to travel to the US. Offer is not transferable and there is no cash alternative.
What is the STRIDERTM World Championships?
The STRIDER World Championships is an annual racing event that brings together STRIDER riders and their families from all over the globe.
Hosted in Sarasota Florida the event is a truly international celebration of balance bike riding that includes tons of family fun orientated events and outings, all at a beautiful holiday friendly city.
Racers can qualify by participating in at least one qualifying STRIDER British Balance Bike Championships or enter into the Last Chance Qualifying Practice event the day before the World Championship race.
What is a balance bike?
Balance bikes, often called running bikes or pre-bikes, are specially designed and manufactured bikes with no pedals.
The bikes are designed for toddlers and children to easily propel themselves using their feet on the ground giving them more stability – without the complications that come from pedalling.
Experts agree that it can be counterproductive to teach a child to rely on stabilisers when they first make the move to a two-wheeler. It really doesn't give them the chance to learn how to balance at all.
Research has proven that STRIDER Balance bikes significantly improve balance, coordination and confidence over just a 4 week period.
What are STRIDERTM balance bikes?
Strider Sports International is a world leader in balance bike technology. We believe that the Strider balance bikes are the best on the market − they are meticulously designed and built to give toddlers the best start possible on two wheels.
If you want to kit out your child with their own Strider to prepare for our Strider British Balance Bike Championships, please visit our authorised retailer page.
Why bring your little-un to a balance bike event?
Most importantly, it's a huge amount of fun and a new experience that they'll remember forever.
As well as the memories, experiencing balance bike riding and racing together with other children helps to develop balance, co-ordination and confidence on two wheels.
Whether it's to test ride a Strider balance bike or to race with other toddlers, Strider events have something for every family interested in giving their child a head start, exploring the world on two wheels.
How old does my child have to be?
Strider British Balance Bike Championships and Strider Adventure Zone events are open to children from 18 months to 5 years old.
This is calculated by the child's age on the day of the event.
Does my child need any experience?
No, you (and your child) can join in at a Strider Racing, Adventure Zone or Training event even if your child has never sat on a bike before.
Do you need to bring your own bike?
We would encourage anyone with thir own bike to bring it along. However, we will have a limited quantity of bikes to hire for a nominal charge at events – so you don't have to own a balance bike to take part. Bikes must be manufactured balance bikes (no converted pedal bikes) with a 12″ maximum tyre diameter.
What about safety equipment?
Every child must wear a good quality helmet, elbow and kneepads, long sleeved clothing and good quality closed footwear. Gloves are also strongly recommended. If you have your own helmet – great, bring it along. If not we'll have helmets and safety equipment available for riders to hire on the day at a cost of £2.50 − so all you need to do is turn up.
Individual events may also have their own additional safety requirements. Please refer to our Event page for details.

This is the ultimate paella pan. It is a work of art worthy of being displayed on your kitchen wall with its handsome gold plated handles. It is a wonderful gift - perhaps for yourself too!
Because it is polished stainless steel the pan is virtually care free. Just wash it with soap and water and it is as good as new. There is no need to worry about seasoning, staining or any kind of rust.
The pan bottom is dimpled in order to spread heat evenly. You can use this paella pan either in the oven, on top of the stove, or on an outdoor grill. This size pan makes enough paella for a dinner for four people --- and what an attractive way to serve your creation!
18/10 gauge stainless steel. Safe for use with induction cooktops.

Amazon phone for 2012 holiday season?
Citigroup analysts believe the retailer is developing a smartphone.
Amazon (AMZN) is gearing up for an absolutely Goliath holiday season. The National Retail Federation predicts online retail sales this holiday will grow 15% over the same period in 2010, when online holiday sales came to a whopping $36.4 billion. Considering that Amazon accounts for 20% of all online retail visits, the company should have a very green Christmas indeed.
Leading the charge this year is Amazon's new $200 tablet, the Kindle Fire. Amazon is expected to sell 5 million Fires before the year is out, cutting into Apple's (AAPL) lucrative iPad market.
Exciting stuff, but for Amazon, the 2011 holiday season is already old news, and the company instead has its cross hairs settled over Apple for Christmas 2012. Of course, Amazon also will be gunning for Microsoft (MSFT), Research In Motion (RIMM), Nokia (NOK), Samsung (SSNLF) and scads of other companies. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, and MSN Money site.)
That's right: Amazon is making a smartphone.
At least that's what Citigroup analysts Mark Mahaney and Kevin Chang believe Amazon is planning for next year. Based on information from sources within Amazon's supply chain in Asia, the two believe Amazon will release a low-cost smartphone in the $150 to $170 range, taking a slight loss on the device as it is doing with the Kindle Fire.
Chang and Mahaney said Amazon is developing the phone with Foxconn International Holdings. Given that the Kindle Fire utilizes Google's (GOOG) Android operating system and Amazon app development is on that platform, it is likely that the Amazon phone also will be an Android device. Mahaney's track record in prognosticating Amazon's plans is decent, as he successfully predicted the release of Amazon's $79 Kindle in May.
An Amazon smartphone certainly seems in line with the company's expansion as a gadget maker. Amazon is working hard to establish not just a hardware presence with products like Kindle Fire but a competitive mobile commerce ecosystem comparable to Apple's iTunes.
In addition to the Amazon Appstore, longstanding digital music store and Kindle e-book store, Amazon is pushing its Amazon Prime premium subscription service as a Netflix (NFLX) competitor with streaming video. All Kindle Fire buyers get a free 30-day trial membership to Amazon Prime, which should grow the subscriber base during the tablet's release window. And for every 1 million new Amazon Prime subscribers, the company's total revenue grows 1.5%. An Amazon mobile phone backed by the company's brand and ecosystem of services could change the whole mobile phone market.
No one owns the holiday season quite like Amazon. The company's sales absolutely crushed Christmas 2010. On Cyber Monday 2010, Amazon sold 13.7 million individual products across all of its categories. That's 158 items per second! Its Kindle e-reader was the hot ticket last year, and while Amazon didn't disclose full Kindle sales, it did reveal the device became its best-selling product ever at the time, outdoing J.K. Rowling's novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." And that book sold 15 million copies worldwide on its first day.
With the Kindle Fire, the company hopes to dominate this year's holiday season. The Amazon phone should keep the company's winning streak running in 2012.

By Andrea Shalal-Esa
STRATFORD, Connecticut (Reuters) - The U.S. defense budget is under intense pressure as automatic spending cuts loom, but Sikorsky Aircraft says the longer-term outlook for military helicopters remains bright given several new programs getting started in the United States and strong overseas demand.
Samir Mehta, president of Sikorsky military systems, said in an interview that he is confident that two of the biggest opportunities for his company - a U.S. Air Force competition for new search and rescue helicopters and a U.S. Navy competition for new presidential helicopters - will survive, even if the Pentagon is forced to make additional budget cuts.
Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin Corp
Both cuts would phase in over 10 years. Many executives say they expect some additional cuts to military spending, even if a deal is reached to avoid the automatic budgets reductions under "sequestration."
Stratford, Connecticut-based Sikorsky, a unit of United Technologies Corp
Most defense companies expect revenue to come under pressure in coming years after more than a decade of growth in military spending. However, they do not forecast sudden declines in January, since most weapons deals stretch over many years.
The 87-year-old Sikorsky is also investing heavily to develop its new S-97 Raider helicopter in hopes that the U.S. Army will decide later this year to buy a new helicopter to replace its aging OH-58 Kiowa Warriors, rather than upgrade the existing fleet. The Kiowa Warriors are made by Bell Helicopter, a unit of Textron Inc
"It's very easy to be focused on the short term in the next two to three years, and say, 'Boy, the meteor's coming at us and we're headed for really tough times,' but if you look at this industry over the next 20-30 years, it's going to be vibrant," Mehta told Reuters in an interview at the company's sprawling headquarters on Tuesday.
Mehta said Sikorsky and other helicopter makers were also gearing up for what U.S. Army officials are calling "Future Vertical Lift," a massive program that would replace many of the Black Hawks and Boeing Apache helicopters now in service.
"I know there's short-term pressure but ... the life cycle of an aviation development program will outlive whatever short-term crisis we happen to be in at the time," he said.
Mehta, a trained lawyer who began his career at United Technologies' Otis Elevator unit, said the lingering uncertainty about future budgets was frustrating, but his company was focused on continuing to deliver those helicopters already on order to the U.S. military on time and on budget.
"There's no shield against sequestration, but hopefully when they go through the process - if they go through the process ... they'll look at performance as a key determining factor of whether or not you'll be specifically targeted," he said.
Pentagon officials have said that weapons programs that are over budget or behind schedule will be increasingly vulnerable to cuts as budget pressures mount.
Mehta said Pentagon officials also seemed to appreciate Sikorsky's investment of its own funds to develop its new X2 helicopter, which is considered the fastest helicopter ever built, and a larger military prototype, the S-97.
Sikorsky, which together with Boeing dominates the U.S. military helicopter market, spent $50 million to develop the X2 - which uses two rotors and a rear propeller to overcome the aerodynamic limitations of conventional helicopters - and "healthy multiples" of that sum on the S-97, Mehta said, although he declined to give specific numbers.
He said the company would continue work on the S-97, which is expected to have its first flight in the fourth quarter of 2014, even if U.S. Army officials decide not to launch a competition to replace the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior armed scout.
In the longer term, the S-97 could be a contender for the Army's next-generation helicopter program, or future vertical lift, which some see as the "Joint Strike Fighter" of military helicopters, Mehta said, referring to the massive and lucrative next-generation strike aircraft weapon systems for the United States and its allies.
The speed, maneuverability and agility of the new helicopter will provide "game-changing" capabilities to the U.S. military, Kevin Bredenbeck, chief test pilot for Sikorsky, told Reuters in a separate interview.
Steve Engebretson, who heads Sikorsky's armed aerial scout effort, said the company was confident that it could price the new helicopters at a cost in the "mid-teens" of millions - just slightly more than the Army would likely spend to upgrade the OH-58 helicopters it is using now. But he said the new aircraft would give the Army far more capabilities than it has now.
Other helicopter makers, including Europe's EADS
Army officials are expected to reach a decision about the issue in coming weeks, although the decision will still need approval by top Pentagon acquisition officials.
Mehta said he did not expect the Air Force and Navy to back off their new helicopter competitions, both of which come after failed earlier programs, given the increased age of the current fleets, which is driving up maintenance costs, and the Pentagon's increased focus on affordable programs.
He said Pentagon officials also recognized that they could not continually ask industry to invest time and money to prepare bids for competitions only to see programs get cancelled.
"They've taken a really pragmatic, cost-effective approach," he said. "That provides us with a little more confidence that they won't back away from these programs once they've started."
Sikorsky also sees strong growth in international markets in coming years, especially in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, Mehta said, noting that a majority of the helicopters in use around the world were over 20 years old.
"There's a practical aspect to this, which is that people need to recapitalize and replace their fleets, whether it's the (U.S. Department of Defense) or even international militaries."

The occasionally stormy tenure of Kyle Turris in the desert has come to an end.
The Phoenix Coyotes have traded Turris to the Ottawa Senators.
In return, Phoenix has received defenceman David Rundblad and a second-round draft pick.
"We hope that (he's) a second-line centre iceman that will come in here and play real hard," Senators GM Bryan Murray said of Turris. "I believe he is a very talented young man. Given the type of team we have and the age of our core guys that he will be a real nice addition to our forward group."
Turris, who was a restricted free agent after last season, was unable to come to terms on a new deal with the Coyotes over the summer and held out for the first six weeks of the season. Turris finally returned to the team after signing a two-year, $2.8 million deal on Nov. 22.
"He told me this is not going to work out and I began looking for the best deal and move ahead," Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said. "We clearly differed on his game. We thought he would be better suited lower down in the lineup, and he didn't think so."
The 22-year-old native of New Westminster, B.C. has appeared in six games for the Coyotes since signing, but has not registered a point. In 65 games last season in Phoenix, Turris posted 11 goals and 14 assists.
"I just spoke to the young man and he's the opposite of an attitude problem," said Murray. "He's excited to come to Ottawa. There were obviously issues that he felt were in play in Phoenix, whether it was ice time or the roll he was given. At any rate, we accept that there are locations where certain players fit and others don't. All we can worry about is him coming here and fitting in and being a good player for us."
Turris was drafted by Phoenix with the third overall pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
"He can really skate and can really shoot the puck," said Senators head coach Paul MacLean. "He brings a dimension to our team and it really solidifies that second line and centre position that we've been looking to fill and we're excited to have him."
Rundblad has scored one goal and three assists and is a minus-11 in 24 games with the Senators this season. He was originally drafted 17th overall by the St. Louis Blues in 2009. The Senators acquired him at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for their first-round pick in that draft.
"David is a work in progress and we think he will be an exceptional talent," Maloney said. "I believe you can never have enough defenceman, and he gives us a strong, right-handed shot on the blue line.
"He's like a quarterback on the power play, and he's a talented, offensive-minded defenceman. He has all the tools to succeed as an elite player in this league."
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

3:30 p.m. — 4000 block of South Tamiami Trail. Dispute. A woman got upset when an electronics store employee asked for her driver's license to complete her refund transaction. She demanded to speak to a manager and began filming the employees because she said they were laughing at her. The woman screamed at an employee to stop touching her, when he shielded his face from the camera on her phone. The store's surveillance video shows that no employee touched her, and there was no evidence to move forward.

Whom can you trust these days?
4:40 p.m. — 1200 block of Stickney Point Road. Petit Theft. A man reported that within a day or so of his move to Lakeland, he received a phone call from a woman who said she was with a bank on the Key. She told him someone had come into the bank to turn in the man's debit card. No transactions had been reported for the card prior to the man's receiving the phone call, and the man told a deputy he had not realized he had lost the card. Six days later, the man contacted the same woman bank officer to advise her to cancel the card, because he had no way to get back to Sarasota to retrieve it. When he went to a Lakeland branch of the bank the following day, he learned that numerous purchases had been made with the card the previous day and that the card still was active. The man asked an official at the Lakeland bank branch to cancel the card. The man said he suspected the female bank official on the Key had stolen his card number and used it to buy the items reported on the card's account. The deputy concluded, "This requires further investigation."

Reviewer: Bubba's Wife
Good product
makes building a fire in our wood burning stove easy. Only use one stick to start with a little bit of kindling (old habits die hard). The size of the sticks is convenient too, not requiring a lot of space in the room near the stove. Will buy again when the initial supply runs out.

/* Four Six is a theme by realvermin. Please don't remove credit! */
I like this Italian phrase translated as Love in Excess in English. I think as I have observed that loving in excess gives no joy, only degradation of human dignity. Ask me anything
an insensitive person is the one that resist from responsibilities and commitment. an insensitive person lacks courage to face life's challenges. an insensitive person lacks the ability to offer genuine love. an insensitive person does not care at all.
I try to say goodbye and I choke,
I try to walk away and I stumble.
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near.
make sense?
it is hard to please a person who does not want to be pleased, a person not only passive but insecure, a person who is your exact opposite.

Margaret Bush Wilson was born into a hyper-segregated St. Louis in 1919. Jim Crow laws and rampant racial discrimination were at their post-Civil War peak. The deadly East St. Louis riots had occurred just two years earlier.
Mrs. Wilson passed this earth on August 12 and racial justice within the region remains a future aspiration, not a present reality. But substantial progress has been made in the ensuing ninety years and Mrs. Wilson was an extraordinary leader in making that happen.
Restrictive racial covenants, a practice begun near her birth and enforced by the State of Missouri courts, making them public policy and not solely private acts of discrimination, were the largest cause of residential segregation. As a young lawyer, Mrs. Wilson was instrumental in the U.S. Supreme Courts declaring the covenants unconstitutional in 1948.
Indeed, there is not a major milestone in the regions struggle for racial justice that does not have Mrs. Wilson playing a significant role. The Jefferson Bank sit-ins, the growth of civil rights advocacy organizations, breaking the color barrier on major corporate boards she was there.
Margaret Bush Wilson was a gentle giant, soft spoken but firm, unassuming but determined. The St. Louis region can best honor her life by building on her legacy. The journey to full racial justice still has many miles to go.

Pet Stories: In Your Own Words
Terriers Change Lives
Listen to your terrier!
When I was seven years old my parents let me choose my first dog. I chose a dark brindle Cairn terrier puppy and named her Terry like Shirley's dog. She was whatever she needed to be for everyone in our family. She guarded my mother while she gardened like a Scottish sentry in the highlands. She padded slowly by my father around the neighborhood so that he could grimace at each poorly mowed lawn. She rode everywhere with me in the basket on my bicycle and slept in my bed every night under the covers with her head on the pillow. If anyone tried to enter my room, Terry planted herself at the foot of my bed and growled like a great bear. She was my best friend in the world and, looking back, I think she was the thread that held our family together. Terry died when I was 13.
I went on to college, graduate school and a career. My parents got two more Cairn Terriers, Sarah and Sandy, that had long happy lives with them after they retired. I chose to have cats since their needs were more easily met and science does not keep nine to five hours. My two wonderful girls, Fable and Chukchi, that I adopted in graduate school were with me for twenty years and died in 1994. I thought at that time that I might be able to arrange my schedule to have a dog in my life once more. I wanted to find a female Cairn puppy. Instead, I ended up with two boys.
That could be the end of the story. I could tell you about Schmooze dog chewing a hole through the kitchen wall. I could tell you about Bounder's health problems but, like Shirley's experience with her Terry, the real story is how my life changed when these two pals came home with me. The real story is that everything else became unimportant. Sure, I went to work and I tried to do a good job. I tried to maintain my intensity but I saw the world with an enhanced clarity. More and more, on my long daily walks with the boys, I realized that I knew what was important when I was a child with my Terry many years ago. I rediscovered my love of natural history. Every walk and hike was more important than anything I was doing as a biochemist. I was truly happy for the first time since my childhood when Terry and I would hunt for snakes and tadpoles. My life was changed. I had come full circle.
I quit my job and left behind Southern California, the land of stock options and traffic gridlock, for the mountains of East Tennessee. We have less money but we have more joy. Everyone needs to listen to their terrier even if that terrier exists only in your heart.
Schmooze & Bounder

I love Anthropologie but I don't love their prices. Know of any sources with similar styles that don't wreck the bank?
Agreed. Regardless of how pretty some of their products are I just can't support Anthropologie, especially for clothing that (in my opinion) does not warrant the pricepoint.
Re: furniture I would rather buy real antiques or support a local artisan...e.g so many great artists on etsy!
Is there a reason why reclaimed wood products should cost so much, or are they just bilking their customers?
I was inspired a couple years ago by an Anthropologie dining table with a natural edge reclaimed wood top and iron base. It was selling for around $4,000. I ended up having one made with the help of wood and metal worker friends, along with local antique/salvage dealers who I bought the materials from. It's more beautiful than the inspiration piece and although it was still pricey, the money went to local businesses and craftsmen who I know. Much better!

An Artist's Curiosity Shop: William Schaff's Studio
Yes, we love clean, organized spaces, but we also firmly believe that a little chaos is an essential part of the creative process. Nestled between the antique shops that line the waterfront in Warren, Rhode Island is the storefront studio where artist William Schaff lives and works amongst an organized chaos of inspiring collections.
Skulls and taxidermy may be popular these days, but anatomy and natural history have always been required study for artists. Schaff's large collection of bones, toy soldiers, and ephemera find their way into his artwork either by literally becoming part of his dioramas and sculptures or by providing subject matter for his drawings, paintings, embroidery and papercuts. Like his collections, Schaff's art is sometimes beautiful and sometimes gruesome, but that is definitely what we like about it.
A laser cut edition of the of one of his original papercuts (shown above) is available from Tiny Showcase (a fantastic source of affordable art based here in Rhode Island). Visit his flickr to see more of his work.

Cool ... and very much appreciated.
Oh, baby! When can I move in? I love everything about this!
love this!
A bit much, even for an anti-minimalist like me. But I'm digging the door in pic #4 (which is I guess the flip side of #10.)
What a treat for my weary eyes! Too fun.
I'm in love with all the bones, shells, keys, and little plastic men!!

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Broncos OC McCoy to become Chargers head coach
Reports on Monday indicated that the Arizona Cardinals wanted to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy for a second time.
Not so fast.
It appears the Cardinals will not get a second chance to talk with McCoy.
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Tuesday the San Diego Chargers, who spoke with McCoy for the first time the previous day, are about to finalize a deal with the coach.
Chargers are nearing a deal to make Mike McCoy their head coach. Looks like it will be finalized today. More ahead @cbssports— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 15, 2013
McCoy was the only known interview for the Cardinals this week.
As the Cardinals' coaching search enters week three, the team has talked with McCoy, defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and unofficially, Todd Haley, whom the Pittsburgh Steelers said the Cardinals were interviewing.
Gruden, Haley and Horton are all still on the market for a head coaching job.

Hizbullah ready to take over Beirut
The Kuwaiti a-Rai newspaper on Wednesday reported that as the Prosecutor of the International Tribunal Daniel Bellemare, delivered the charge sheets regarding the assassination of ex-premier Hariri, Hizbullah conducted an exercise to test the readiness to take control over Beirut. A source in the Shiite movement told the newspaper that such operation would need 4 hours to complete. However, in the drill it took just two hours.
Lebanon is facing a political crisis after Prime Minister Saad Hariri's government collapsed on Wednesday when 11 Hizbullah-affiliated ministers stepped down in a protest over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
The source stressed that there is no chance Saad Hariri will head the next cabinet. He explained that "Hariri was not serious in dealing with the Syrian - Saudi mediationand ignored the desire of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz."
For his part, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday issued a warning to Israel and the United States and some European countries, calling on them to "stop the incitement of discord" in Lebanon if they do not want to turn people against them. The Iranian president said in a speech in the city of Yazd, "You are on the verge of the risk which will lead you into the abyss," referring to the United States, Israel and some European countries.

My Greatest Moments in Binge Eating
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because the whole point of it is to eat like a hog and then lie on the floor and pretend we aren't a country of tunnel-visioned murderers. Food fills your blood and brain, and if anybody talks to you it is acceptable to just grunt in response. Even sports start to make sense, which means to me that to live in America is to be approaching a certain death by endless, needless fat ingestion.
Having grown up a fat kid who lost the weight of a whole third grader over a summer to assume my current body shape of a normally-appetited guy, Thanksgiving is one of the few times I let myself feel like who I really am on the inside. "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach," my mother used to tell me when our family would go to Morrison's cafeteria and I'd try to take one of almost every item (they were eventually forced to limit me to five). Sometimes I think my entire life has been me trying to prove I can eat everything I touch.
Holidays not-withstanding, here are some of my choicest moments on my lifelong journey to becoming a lard ass. Some are marathon-like, and some stretched over years, because the truest form of binge-eating takes whole eras; each is pretty much the only time I've ever really began to feel like a person among people. In other words, a human.
1. Lettuce Soup-Rise You
My friend John and I were bored in the suburbs and we'd already watched Eddie Murphy's Raw three times and Dumb and Dumber twice when we decided to go to the soup-themed buffet chain down the street and see who could eat the most. Lettuce Soup-rise You was a place that had a salad bar in the front that was hyped as the central draw, though every time I ate there I remember everybody walking straight past the salad to where they had the pasta with meat sauce and the pizza and the beefaroni and the bread and the ice cream and the chocolate cake. John and I ate plate after plate for three hours, refusing to say anything to each other while shoveling horrible things into our faces that we had stopped enjoying after the first ten minutes because all buffet food tastes like it was made for horses. At some point the food turns from seeming like food and into cement, and there you are. I don't remember which of us offered a truce, but I do remember I couldn't really lift my arm to shake on it. When we got home we both went into our rooms. I felt so disgusting I came up later to find John watching Dumb and Dumber again and told him I felt demonic and he told me I should force myself to puke like he had as soon as we got back. Having never been able to force myself to barf, I let John talk me into taking my first shot of vodka ever (I was straight-edge at the time) to induce the barf-desire and then hung over the toilet semi-crying and still not able to get it out. The food liked where it was in me and insisted to stay there. Finally I decided to go for a run for the first voluntary time in my life, putting on sweat-clothes that felt tighter than ever to go pudge-trudging through the neighborhood sweating grease. I have run at least six days a week every week since, trying desperately to rid myself of what the rest of me keeps making.
2. Taco Bell Drive Thru
Some percentage of my current total body is comprised entirely of Taco Bell shit. It's probably my face. I don't know what it is about the colors of that sign, but every time I've had even a drop of alcohol I find myself magnetized to the glass like a brain damaged vacuum toddler. You can tell you've eaten Taco Bell when the next day you wake up feeling like someone rinsed your chest with rubber cement. Once I actually called ahead to the Bell from the bar at 3:00 AM to verify they were still open on a Sunday. The most I ever spent at Taco Bell was when my friend York and I pulled through and pretended like we were ordering for all the other people we'd been at the bar with, even though they'd already gone home to bed. Somehow every time the lady asked "Is that all?" one of us said "No" until we'd racked up $50 worth of recycled beef and beans and flour and cheese. I remember somehow we were both riding in the backseat on the way home like blue-eyed human voids each hoarding nachos and folded taco shit into our faces while an invisible driver escorted us magic carpet style to the scene of the crime where we would each gain ~10 pounds in beef weight before passing out still listening to Danzig.

My spirit was a bit depleted with the raw, dry cold and a feeling of looming uncertainty about the future. I convinced myself that getting out and being around people (not to mention making a little extra cash) would do me some good. I wasn't wrong. That evening, the Minneapolis-based musical troupe Sounds of Blackness was booked to perform. I hadn't ever heard them before, and boy was I in for a treat. I sat at the back of The Basilica of Saint Mary with my headphones on and let their sweet gospel melodies pour into my ears. One song in particular shook me out of my worried, wired monkey brain. I think the song is called "Everything Will Be Alright." What you're listening to here is a really great recording of that live performance. Recently Trent blogged about the music that helped him get through a hard time after being laid off from his dot com job when he was living in England. And Mitch conducted a lively phone interview with author Mary Doria Russell where we learn about the 1980s big hair bands that inspire her.

PLEASE READ MORE ABOUT SPEED BUMPS, SPEED HUMPS, WHEEL STOPS, CAR STOPS, AND TRAFFIC DELINEATORS for parking traffic control:
For those seeking to learn more about speed bumps, speed humps, wheel stops, car stops, traffic delineators, and other vehicle access controls, further information can be read below and much more is available on the internet. Please feel free to contact us to learn more about speed bumps, speed humps, wheel stops, car stops, traffic delineators, inductive detector loops, turnstiles, barrier gate operators, traffic spike systems and access controls.
Speed is reduced by the installation of our products. The speed bump is for slower speed traffic, the speed hump is to accommodate slower traffic along streets, rather than parking lots. Wheel stops prevent cars and trucks from jumping curbs, preventing damage. Traffic delineators and other recycled rubber products are made from scrap rubber, tires, and virgin ruber on the outer skins. Wheel chocks (chox) are required by airports and by OSHA for loading tractor trailers when on an incline. Aircraft benefit greatly from their use while testing engines without moving. Recycled rubber is molded, then shaped to make safety and traffic control products for utility trucks, municipal bus use, autos, blocking paper rolls, and can be mounted to concrete in parking lots, and garages. These blocks may be portable or removable, depending on whether epoxy or hardware are used for mounting. The effect of calming increases safety on the road and street. Curbs are typically made from concrete and are not as good as , wheelstop, carstop, wheelblock, and parkingblock products. Recycled rubber is environmentally friendly, low maintenance, and protective of the environment, even at an airport. They are green, impact resistant, shatter proof, weather and chemical resistant, and may help to reduce liability issues when installed properly. For speed reduction products, glue down to asphalt and concrete and never simply lay in gravel, dirt, street, road, or pavement. These products are surface mounted in standard and premium styles, such as short or long The t-top delineator (barricade) is also made from plastic.
Definition: A speed bump, speed hump, road bump, speed breaker, sleeping policeman, slow child, or judder bar is a speed-reducing (slowing or traffic calming) feature of road design to slow traffic or reduce through traffic. A speed bump is a bump in a roadway with height of 2 5/8 inches. Speed Bumps that are higher are unpopular and may damage vehicles that have lower ride heights.
The use of speed bumps is throughout the world, and they are found where vehicle speeds are desired to be low. Speed bumps are very effective in keeping vehicle speed down. Poorly designed speed bumps often found in private car parks (too tall, too sharp an angle for the expected speed) can be hard to negotiate in vehicles with low ground clearance, such as lowered sports cars and sedans. Our products are designed to allow these types of vehicles to pass as slow speeds. Speed bumps can also pose serious hazards to motorcyclists and bicyclists if not easily noticed, though in some cases a small cut in the bump allows those vehicles to pass through without interruption.
Delineators are tall pylons placed on the road surface, or along the edge of a road, used to direct and control traffic. Delineators are higher than typical roadway markers so that additional attention is given to them in areas of construction or temporary road course changes. For night time viewing, they have one or more reflective strips. They often have a T shaped handle at their top to facilitate ease of placement by highway working crews. They can also be used to indicate lane closures as in cases where the number of lanes is reduced.
An access control, which can be a set of turnstiles, admissions turnstiles, revenue turnstiles, barrier, gate, operators, revolving turnstiles, swing turnstiles, optical turnstiles, controlled turnstiles, waist high turnstiles, full height turnstiles, mechanical turnstiles, guardian traffic systems, one way traffic spikes, road blockers, Antech, tire spikes, admission ticket, scanning, traffic spikes, a door, turnstile, parking gate, elevator, or other physical barrier where granting access can be electrically or automatically controlled using pre formed inductive detector loops. Typically the access point is a door or traffic access mechanism like a barrier gate. An electronic access control can contain several components. At its most basic there is an electric lock. The lock is unlocked by an operator with a switch. To automate this, operator intervention is replaced by a reader. The reader could be a keypad where a code is entered, it could be a card reader, or it could be a biometrics reader. Readers do not usually make a decision but send a card number to an access control station that verifies the number against a pre-approved access list. To monitor the door position a magnetic door switch can be used. A door switch is not unlike those on freezers or car doors. Generally, only entry is controlled and exit is uncontrolled. In cases where exit is also controlled a second reader is used on the opposite side of the door or traffic control mechanism. Traffic control mechanisms can be one-way or motorized, using inductive detector loops to make sure that the system does not close upon vehicles or pedestrians. In cases where exit is not controlled (free exit) a device called a request-to-exit (REX) is used. Request-to-exit controls can be a pushbutton or a motion detector. When the button is pushed or the motion detector detects motion at the door, the door alarm is temporarily ignored while the door is utilized. Exiting a door without having to electrically unlock the door is called mechanical "free egress". This is a safety feature. In cases where the lock must be electrically unlocked on exit, the request-to-exit device also unlocks the door.
The following types of access control products are typically used in conjunction with speed bumps, speed humps, wheel stops, car stops, and traffic delineators. Magnetic Autocontrol manufactures an excellent array of barrier gate operators (up and down arms), pedestrian traffic controls, turnstiles, full height turnstiles, waist high turnstiles, pedestrian barriers, transit pedestrian control systems, MPT dual full height turnstiles, full height swing gates, waist high tripod turnstiles, We sell BDLoops.com brand inductive detector loops to complement their function and make them safer.

What are the "IOPs"?
The Convention works especially closely with four global non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which have been associated with the treaty since its beginnings and which, in Resolution VII.3 (1999), were confirmed in the formal status of International Organization Partners (IOPs) of the Convention. In Resolution IX.16 (2005), the Parties judged that IWMI meets the qualifications for Ramsar IOP status that were outlined in 1999 and endorsed the addition of that organization as the fifth official partner of the Convention. The five IOPs are:
- BirdLife International (formerly ICBP)
- IUCN – The International Union for the Conservation of Nature
- IWMI – The International Water Management Institute
- Wetlands International (formerly IWRB, the Asian Wetlands Bureau, and Wetlands for the Americas)
- WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) International
The IOPs provide invaluable support for the work of the Convention at global, regional, national, and local levels, chiefly by providing expert technical advice, field level implementation assistance, and financial support, both from their headquarters units and from their national and regional offices and affiliates and from their expert networks. In addition, they themselves embody the philosophy of the Ramsar Convention and its wise use concept and support the use of the Ramsar guidelines in their own work around the world. The IOPs also participate regularly as observers in all meetings of the Conference of the Parties and the Standing Committee, and as full members of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel. Read more about the IOPs here.
Other non-governmental organizations and related bodies
In many countries, there is also an "NGO constituency" around the Ramsar Convention that works with the government and is active in promoting and implementing the goals of the treaty. The Ramsar Secretariat tries to maintain as much contact as possible with as many local, national, and international NGOs (in addition to the five partners listed above) as are in sympathy with Ramsar principles and whose work intersects with the Convention's objectives.
In addition, the Ramsar Secretariat benefits from formal cooperative agreements of various kinds with
- Ducks Unlimited,
- Eurosite,
- the Global Nature Fund
- the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA),
- LakeNet,
- the Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS),
- The Nature Conservancy,
- Wetland Link of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, and
- the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA)
Moreover, several additional organizations have been officially invited to participate as observers in the work of the Convention's Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), including
- the Global Water Partnership,
- the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI),
- the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG),
- the International Peat Society (IPS),
- World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC),
- the World Resources Institute (WRI), and
- the World Water Council.
A considerable number of national and international NGOs make a point of participating in the meetings of the Ramsar Conference of the Parties, which are perceived as good opportunities for networking and influencing government policy and action. The 8th meeting of the COP (2002) in Spain was attended by 27 international NGOs and 109 national non-governmental organizations working directly or indirectly in the field of wetland conservation and sustainable use; at COP9 in Uganda (2005), 26 international NGOs and 71 national NGOs were present as observers; at COP10 in the Republic of Korea (2008), there were 25 international NGOs and about 130 national NGOs.

text: Posted Online: Oct. 04, 2012, 9:25 pm From coaching to chain gang: Cambridge's Stahl still a sideline fixture Comment on this story By Terry Duckett, firstname.lastname@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: Gary Krambeck Larry Stahl is in his 27th season as Cambridge High School football coach. Since his retirement as Cambridge High School's head football coach following the 2006-07 school year, local legend Larry Stahl hasn't completely left the sidelines behind him.The winner of 169 games during his 27-year tenure with the Vikings, Stahl keeps his hand in the game these days as a member of the "chain gang'' -- the crew that handles the down markers at each game -- for Cambridge's successor, the Ridgewood Spartans' co-op.Having divided his time between working Ridgewood home games and Cambridge's junior high games, Stahl feels it's a great way to stay involved in the game he has given so much of his life to."I've done it off and on since I retired,'' he said. "I get to talk to a lot of coaches who coached against me for a long time, and I still talk to a lot of officials that I've known forever, so that aspect of it is nice. It's the next best thing to coaching, and it's a good place for me to be.''Even though hip replacement surgery just over a year ago slowed Stahl somewhat, it hasn't kept him off the sidelines."I had to let up for a bit,'' he said, "but I've enjoyed it; it keeps me in touch. I'll tell you, in the situation I'm in right now, having hung it up (from coaching) but still being down there on the field, it seems like the year goes much faster. When you're not involved in doing things all week to prepare for a game -- just the Friday nights -- it flies by.''For Stahl and his chain-gang cohorts at the Viking Bowl, the home stretch of Ridgewood's 2012 season will conclude tonight when the Spartans celebrate their Senior Night against the Stark County Rebels. Nearly two weeks removed from its first win of the season, Ridgewood saw its playoff hopes officially extinguished with last Friday's 26-19 loss to Mid-County.When Stahl retired after the 2006 season, Cambridge had reached the playoffs seven straight years and was the Class 1A state runner-up in '05. The Vikings made it eight straight seasons in '07 under Stahl's longtime assistant and successor, Terry Anderson, who guided his first Cambridge team to the 1A quarterfinals.However, a numbers crunch has prevented the three-year-old Ridgewood co-op from achieving the same success. The Spartans were 2-7 in their debut season of 2010, then bumped up to 3-6 last fall. Strong numbers at the youth levels breeds optimism for the near future."It was a matter of time before the co-op (with AlWood) would happen,'' said Stahl. "I've done it one way for so long, I still have problems not wearing my maroon and gold (Cambridge's colors); I've got so much of it. But I have a granddaughter in high school now, so I've got some new Spartans' stuff that I wear, but old habits are hard to break."It's been a rough deal with the numbers, but I think if we can hang on, things will be OK a couple of years down the road.''And there is a good chance Stahl will have a sideline view of that success.
