Thousands of Americans have taken advantage of the freedom a CheckBook IRA provides, and are using these structures in every State of the Union, and in many countries.
Since the Swanson v. Commissioner case in 1996, the IRS and the Department of Labor have, through field service advisory letters, and DOL advisory opinion letters, both consistently acknowledged the legality of the Check Book IRA. If you're interested in finding out the legal history of the CheckBook IRA, the Swanson v. Commissioner case, IRS FSA 200128011, and the legitimacy of the structure, make sure to visit our "Is It Legal" page, where we delve into these subjects in detail.

actual Clients managing their investments with their
CheckBook IRA
"I've been buying foreclosed properties.
The ability to write a check on my local bank or go there and get a Cashier's Check enables me to head to the courthouse steps ready to make the purchase. The Check Book IRA gives me the ability to do repairs which is key."
Dean C. Oregon

years ago. With gold going up and the real estate market going down I'm now able to buy nearly three times as many rentals.

"My old IRA was limiting and expensive. My IRA/LLC gives me the freedom to make mortgages and hard money loans. My annual custodial fee is only $100 even though my LLC balance is now well over $2,000,000. The initial set up fee was well worth it."

Have additional Questions?
"This is AMAZING"
Perhaps you are AMAZED that the US Tax Code would allow all these types of investments. Many have been told their IRA's were limited to stocks, bonds, mutual funds or CD's. Perhaps you've been told such nonsense by your so called "professional". But that's NOT true?
We are here to help you root out the truth and make some CHANGES! With our educational website, our hands on expertise and our experienced available staff to answer any questions you WILL find out what is and isn't allowed. It's time for you to take grab hold of the investment options that have been legal since the birth of IRA's.
The New York Times said,
"Real estate has always been permitted in IRAs, but few people seemed to know about this option- until the stock market began to decline. Financial Institutions, meanwhile, had little incentive to recommend something other than stocks, bonds or mutual funds."
Why "little incentive"? Well, brokers are in business to make money and they have no way to profit if your IRA's invests into anything outside of the limited products they offer.
The Tax Code allows them to limit your investments to only the products they offer. To what's best for them, not you.
The IRS makes the following statement on their website
"…..because of administrative burdens, many IRA trustees do not allow IRA owners to invest IRA funds in real estate. IRA law does not prohibit investing in real estate but trustees are not required to offer real estate as an option." (Emphasis added)
How ever, just like a restaurant's menu that doesn't have what you want, you have the right to take your business elsewhere. We're going to help you do just that and go where the "menu" benefits YOUR retirement instead of theirs.
The CheckBook IRA-LLC
will provide you enormous freedom
in your investment choices. For example;
All types of real estate (commercial, residential, bare land), real estate options, tax liens, mortgages and deeds of trust, businesses, all types of loans (including personal and hard money loans), stocks, bonds, CD's, call and put options, foreign investments, joint ventures, LLP's, trusts, partnerships, IPO's corporations, bridge financing, physical Gold/Silver Eagles, GOLD IRA, IRA Foreign Real Estate plus countless other investments.
"What CAN'T I do?"
There are only two things Congress said your IRA can not invest in; Collectibles and Life Insurance. In addition,
your IRA can not have any "self dealings" with you or your immediate family. That means they can not borrow from or loan to or enjoy the immediate benefit of your IRA. Simply put the immediate vertical family of the IRA beneficiary can NOT have ANY dealings with the IRA or LLC. Period! That means the sky is the limit!
"Wall Street's Greed is costing us all"
*MF Global stealing $1.6 Billion of clients "segregated" funds, but their CEO told Congress he doesn't know where it is. Talk about 3rd part risk!
*Facebook's IPO fake valuation and insider knowledge that I'm sure you weren't privy to.
*CEO's of bankrupt companies getting 10's of millions in bonuses – sticking it to the taxpayers!
*JP Morgan pleading guilty to recommending investments to their clients they were secretly "shorting" with their own funds.
*An investigation by The Wall Street Journal found that median compensation of CEOs at 21 companies that filed for bankruptcy was $8.7 million. Bottomline NBC News
"I earned it, YOU can't have it… it's MINE"
The only thing worse than not making any return on your IRA is losing it through a lawsuit. A few are in high risk professions, but is anyone really safe from lawsuits? You need added Asset Protection.
How about being sued because your coffee is hot? Consider the now famous McDonald's lawsuit concerning a lady spilling hot coffee on her lap after leaving the drive through. You'd think, since she was in her 60's, that she'd know by now that coffee is generally hot. However, the jury found McDonald's not only guilty of serving hot coffee but ruled that she had suffered enough to be awarded millions!
My wife's hair dryer has a tag on it warning "DO NOT USE IN SHOWER". There's no common sense. Frivolous lawsuits are rampant.
"A judge could decide how much I retire on?"
Yep, The US Supreme Court ruled that a court could decide how much of your IRA you get to keep if you lose a lawsuit allowing your creditor access to your retirement account. If that doesn't "chap your assets".
In California a state statute puts conditions on how safe your IRA is…
"an IRA is exempt only to the extent necessary to provide for the support of the judgment debtor and his dependents when the judgment debtor retires, taking into account all resources that are likely to be available at the time of retirement."
Our CheckBook IRA is a tool that could keep a judge from deciding just how much of your own retirement is "necessary" for your support. You will sleep better at night knowing the IRA LLC provides powerful asset protection.
The IRA-LLC
This is the key that makes the CheckBook IRA so powerful. First we move your IRA to a Self-Directed Custodian, one with no investments to sell you. We help the IRA form and own a special customized LLC (limited liability company). YOU are named as the manager and have the sole signature authority. The LLC is a legal entity that has powers and protections that are not possessed by any individual or by any regular IRA.
It is the combination of the self-directed IRA custodian, our special LLC and all the proper paperwork that yields such beneficial results. You are the manager.
It is started, created and owned entirely by your IRA. An LLC that is designed specifically for an IRA, that respects IRS and Department of Labor codes governing IRAs. The legality of an IRA owning an LLC was affirmed in the case Swanson v. The Commissioner in 1996. In fact the case for the IRS was deemed so weak that the Tax Court forced the IRS to pay the $50,000 court costs incurred by the IRA owners.
Please note that an IRA owned LLC is different than a regular LLC. One of the lessons learned from the Swanson case was the LLC must formed in a particular way and contain very specific language that meets all IRA codes and requirements, and that satisfies the Department of Labor (DOL). Once formed you as manager must see to it that all rules are strictly followed.
If the LLC is improperly drafted, the entire LLC IRA may be disqualified and taxes and penalties would be assessed. Needless to say, you do not want this to happen! Not to worry, we will handle this transaction from start to finish to make sure it is done according to all the rules and guidelines.
Dear Steve and Jordan,"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your outstanding help, expertise and professionalism in helping me establish my IRA LLC. As you know, at the time I had applied I was pressed for critical time to meet a settlement deadline for a property investment. To make matters worst, the state in which I had
"Your solution… saved the day…"
sent my application to register with could not locate my information. Your solution to immediately iled electronically on my behalf saved the day and my settlement occurred without a problem. You came through to do the right things to make it happen and I offer my most sincere thanks and gratitude. Also, I appreciate your ongoing support.Again, thank you."
Sincerely, Lou Kerdock
"My wife and I recently took control of our retirement funds. Even though in the future a reporter interviewing homeless old people under the bridge may ask me what went wrong, I sleep better knowing we are making the decisions that determine our fate.I know the
"Don't wait until you find the perfect investment"
"professionals" are much smarter than me but I also know they are using my savings to finance multi-million dollar salaries, jet planes, and six thousand dollar shower curtains. I can't say if I had access to their money I would not live it up myself!The staff at Check Book IRA set up the legal structure and guided us through the fund transfer process.I urge you to start early because some of those custodians don't give up your money easily! Don't wait until you find the perfect investment."Thanks! Ralph & Betty Beer
Steve & Jordan,I must admit when my husband first talked to me about investing my retirement money in a Checkbook IRA with someone I knew nothing about, I was more than a little skeptical! I held my breath until my money was actually deposited into my account.
"the paper work was easy to fill out, my phone calls were answered quickly "However, I am not ashamed to admit that I was wrong about this being a scam. You and your staff are very knowledgeable and very patient with an "old lady" who had a lot of questions about you and the process.You made the process very easy to follow, the paper work was easy to fill out, my phone calls were answered quickly and in a matter of 8 days the money was in our checking account."I would recommend your services without reservation."
We have already bought and paid for our first rental and have several other projects in process. I feel much more in control of my future plans for retirement. Thank you so much for making things so easy and I would recommend your services without reservation.
Sincerely, LJ, Ohio
An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is a business entity that is a cross between a corporation and a partnership and is the PERFECT investment vehicle for your IRA! It gives the liability protection of a corporation, that is to say, even if you own all of the LLC, you nor the IRA can be liable for the it's debts. At the same time it can be taxed as a partnership. This is favorable as the LLC itself will not pay any taxes, rather, it will be the owner of the LLC
that is liable. But in your case the owner is your IRA. The tax bill will be determined as if the IRA earned the money profits – NOT the LLC.
In short, an LLC is a separate legal entity whose tax liability passes through to the owner of the LLC even though the funds might, at the manager's discretion, remain in the LLC. As a result of this strategy no taxes will be owed on the passive profits generated in the LLC, using your Check Book IRA. The profits stay in the LLC readily available for reinvestment and the tax isn't due until you take a distribution from the IRA.
My point is the CheckBook IRA LLC could be used in any of these ventures. You could do a joint venture with someone or a partnership.Fred is a client that drives an 18 wheeler. His employer just signed a huge, long term contract for a ton of work and more needed trailers. We taught him how to use his Check Book IRA LLC to purchase two semi trailers. He then leased them to his employer. He knows NOTHING about the stock market however he is an EXPERT when it comes to semi-trailers. He now can keep an eye on his investment and is getting a terrific return from something he is VERY familiar. We made sure he stayed within the Self Directed IRA Rules.
Another client financed a property that was valued at $100,000. The owners needed a $55,000 loan. After we set him up with a Real Estate IRA LLC he was able to get 12% interest plus 2 points while holding a secure 55% LTV first mortgage. The borrower didn't have much of a credit record but the property provided plenty of security. As a one year loan, it made 14% and best of all it was safe and in a field that the client understood.If real estate or tax liens happened to be your area of expertise, once you are set up with a CheckBook IRA, you would be able decide to pull the trigger and with Checkbook Control, instantly write a check. The point is you can take immediate control and, if need be, act quickly.Do you know someone starting a new and exciting business in a field in which you have knowledge and experience? Does your gut tells you that it will succeed and you'd love to get in on the ground floor? You could make a loan to them or be a partner with your new IRA LLC. CheckBook IRA is also great for getting involved in Private Placement investments.
Our Testimonials tell the story…
Take a look at some of our testimonials regarding not only our services but what some of our clients are doing investment wise. They are our best advertising. One family has 9 members, each with a Check Book IRA.
"How do I get STARTED?"
1. Call NOW and we will review your needs, answer any additional questions and provide you a price based upon how many IRA's you have and the state in which you wish the LLC formed.
2. Then we provide you a few forms to sign and we do the rest. We have our staff set up an IRA account with our IRS approved Self-Directed Custodian and have them contact your current custodian to transfer your IRA directly to this new Custodian. NONE of your funds are received by us. We receive our payment directly from your IRA ONLY after everything is all set up. All or part of your IRA(s) can be moved as well as other retirement plans. Your IRA only has one asset, the LLC therefore the Custodial fees are much lower.
Our staff does all the paperwork for you and because we follow the IRS rules, this transfer or "roll over" is not a taxable event. Other types of plans that may be combined with your IRA into one CheckBook IRA LLC are: Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Simple IRA, SEP IRA, old 401ks, 403b, Keogh, Pension Plans and many more.
3. While you are waiting on your old custodian to transfer funds, we on your behalf, form the IRA-LLC and name your new Self-Directed IRA as the sole member of the LLC. It is very important that it is done correctly. The special Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement are the key and must be worded precisely. It names your IRA as the sole owner and you as the manager. You will have total control within the DOL guidelines.
Simply put, in the past your IRA may have owned stock in Walmart or GM
but it now owns stock in an LLC. In fact it owns all of the stock or units. You are the manager.
4. We then apply to the IRS for an Federal Tax ID Number for the LLC's bank account.
5. Now you can simply open a bank account where ever you wish and the funds are sent from your IRA to the LLC bank account. You are now ready to invest with all the assets held by the LLC protected! You may now open a brokerage account if you wish or invest overseas.
"I'm ready but how long does it take?"
From start to finish it will take between 2 and 4 weeks for you to be up and running, though our record is 8 days. We do all the paperwork with the custodians, IRS, state offices and pay all the LLC set up fees. This process must be done correctly and we have the experience and knowledge to get you on your way to making the kinds of investments that will allow you to enjoy the retirement of which you've been dreaming.
We, at CheckBook IRA have the
experience, the track record and
the knowledge to assist you in achieving
your retirement dreams and goals.

This is not our first stay at Walden Hall, and it won't be our last! We love the rooms, the staff, and the setting. On this visit we hiked the Rose River Trail. It was beautiful! For our next visit to Walden Hall we are hoping for a longer stay that will allow for more time to explore the area.
We recently spent a wonderful weekend at Walden Hall. The innkeepers were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The property is beautiful and the rooms were well appointed. We definitely plan to make a return visit.
Best vacation we have had in a long time!! The inkeepers were amazing and made sure we had everything we needed and more. The breakfasts they cooked and served us on the front porch made us feel so spoiled! (: We stayed in the Longfellow loft and and it was a total luxury! My husband and I got in the whirlpool tub and watched a movie every night. We purchased some bath salts while we were there that were a very nice treat. The softest, fluffiest robes were included in our room and coffee maker, chocolates our room keeper left for us after she cleaned. The game room downstairs was really fun. We played pool every day we were there. Walden Hall thought of everything. We only left for food, haha. They had all the comforts and activities to do that we stayed comfortable and entertained for days. We wished we could have stayed longer. We will deffinetly be coming back!
We travel to central Virginia twice a year and for the past five years we have stayed at the Inn at Little Washington for every visit. We decide to break the routine this year and booked with Walden Hall after seeing them in the Virginia's Best awards magazine. They certainly did not disappoint. Walden Hall truly lived up to its reputation as one of Virginia's great luxury retreats, making our special 30th anniversary that much more special. Here's what we loved: - the understated physical beauty of the property is undeniable, with gorgeous views of the countryside from every corner - the salt water, modern style pool and patio is a sophisticated, relaxing retreat after a full day of wine tasting - They have more amenities than a large resort: a movie theatre, real arcade, billiards, fishing, firepits… the list goes on and on.. - the complimentary tastings to their partner vineyards made our wine country exploration even more enjoyable (tip: talk to Eric about planning a perfect wine tour) - we loved the Walt Whitman Suite, taking advantage of the hot tub balcony with a glass of Virginia wine - the complimentary beer and local craft beer tastings in the club were a surprise! (About 50% of the property is not shown on the website so we were constantly finding new hidden places to relax and enjoy.) Of course, the real standout at the world's best hotels and resorts is outstanding service, and we experienced this level of service throughout our visit to Walden Hall. Eric and Evanne took excellent care of us, their recommendations on where to visit and top notch concierge service made our trip one of the best of the decade. Tucked back in the picturesque rolling hills, Walden Hall really is heaven in wine country. We can't wait to return.
I took my husband for his 18th of April Bday. I searched via internet all VA B&Bs within 2 hours drive from DC. Walden Hall attracted my attention because of the highest reviews - all 5+. But there were only 11 (I learned that this is because it is a newly opened one and all reviews are from REAL people). I took a chance. This was the BEST B&B experience. We have traveled extensively around the word and the US. It is even better then the photos and the reviews. Rooms are spacious, extremely clean, with great design and all furnishings are of the highest quality. Bathrooms with the brand new equipment. Towel warmers, plush robes, fresh flowers, fantastic views on the pond and fields. Huge deck - a nice place to have a second cup of your morning coffee. The surprise is the Club! In the elegantly decorated basement, we played pool, darts, tasted draft IPA beer ( hand-made by the owners, free), watched a movie in a fantastic home theatre with an outstanding surround sound. There were an excellent gym, a small basketball and a hockey table. The outside pool was closed at that time. Though we will definately come back once it is warmer and we can enjoy the salted water pool. Breakfasts are great, eggs come from own chickens! Plenty of good quality coffee, nice offer of fruits, cereal, yogurts, croissants and various breads. The owners Julie and Dave surrounded us with such care that we felt like home. They graciously upgraded us to the Honeymoon Suite (four rooms suite) - luxurious heaven. Surprised my husband with a birthday chocolate cake, a candle and rose peddles all over the bed. Please do not waste time and money, give yourself a perfect gift! Retreat at the Walden Hall. Me and my husband are coming back in June and bringing my parents with us. Thank you, Julia and Dave, for making my husband's birthday such an unforgettable experience!
We spent two nights at the Walden Hall Bed and Breakfast. The room was beautiful and clean. The innkeepers, Eric and Evanne, were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Their knowledge and contacts with the people in town was a great asset. It was very relaxing just to sit by the large pond which was very clean.
We just spent three wonderful days at Walden Hall. It is perfection. We stayed in the huge Whitman Grande Suite. The bed was SO comfortable with great pillows and a perfect bathroom. It seems every detail has been thought of and tastefully attended to, from comforts to decorations. The club was a real treat and we enjoyed having movie night in the theater. It was a little chilly during our stay but we were still able to enjoy the firepits and some fishing in the pond. A beautiful property, beautifully decorated. And the food: every breakfast was a wonder, great food, beautifully prepared and served. Eric and Evanne are perfect hosts. I can go on and on. My only caveat is that having stayed there we are now thoroughly spoiled for anywhere else.…
We stayed at Walden Hall as a surprise weekend jaunt for my girlfriend's birthday. I had read the reviews on-line, and seen the pictures, and was very impressed. The photos and the reviews simply could not do the venue justice. The reality was FAR FAR better. Firstly, my experience of booking the reservation was very smooth, and when I talked to Eric, he was super helpful. As soon as I got off the phone, I knew that this was going to be a good weekend. He was congenial, resourceful, and full of great ideas for what we could do for the weekend. We arrived late, and Eric came and checked us in very quickly, gave a grand tour, and showed us all of the amenities. We were speechless - the house is spotless, modern, the lighting is amazing, and the suite we had - the Walden Grand Suite - it was beyond our expectations. The fireplace was gorgeous, complete with a lamb skin rug, the lighting was beautiful, the bathroom was great, and the shower was beautiful, complete with a his and hers shower. Eric was a phenomenal host, and he was attentive to our every need. Upon our arrival he gave us a complimentary bottle of wine (great!), and we enjoyed two amazing breakfasts at this beautiful estate. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for a weekend or a night. It is well worth the time and money. Thank you Eric and Evanne!
I have traveled all over the world and stayed in many of the top boutique luxury hotels. This is by far the best place I have ever stayed and I would HIGHLY recommend this inn to anyone considering a trip to Virginia or a calming getaway! The inn keepers Eric and Evanne were so warm and inviting. They went out of their way to accommodate me as a vegan not only with a scrumptious breakfast each morning but even during hors d'oeuvres. The food was so good in fact that even my husband, who is not vegan, was blown away by how good the vegan breakfast was. The rooms were immaculately clean and the ability to sit in the tub and have the fireplace on while watching a movie was absolute bliss… I am considering having a fireplace like that installed in my own home. It's funny, I stumbled upon this inn on a simple web search and it turned out to be the most charming, coziest place I have ever stayed. I could not have asked for a better place to stay or better people to share it with, the staff members were fabulous. Thank you for making this trip so memorable for me!
Walden Hall was everything we expected it to be, and more! The room (and bed) was supremely comfortable and the suite was gigantic! The views were exquisite. The breakfasts were delicious and sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine was relaxing at the end of full day of sights and experiences. I would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone going to Virginia wine country!
Walden Hall was absolutely beautiful inside and outside. We stayed in the Longfellow Loft and loved it! The breakfast was our favorite part, so delicious! Walden Hall definitely exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend staying!
My first visit to Walden Hall is one to remember! I needed a getaway after visiting family in Virginia and stumbled upon this gem of a place. It´s a beautiful house, and the interior design/decoration of the rooms merits a spread in home and architectural magazines. Aesthetically speaking, this is one of the loveliest B & B's I have ever experienced. (Honestly, I had begun to stay away from them in my travels over the years because I didn't like the decor or service of many.) Walden Hall has made a new believer out of me. I slept peacefully on the luxuriously soft sheets on a bed with just the right firmness and eagerly looked forward to the gourmet breakfasts served each morning. Delicious! Evanne and Eric make you feel at home, providing an astonishing number of amenities and delights. I did not have time to experience an in-room massage but I will be scheduling one on my next visit. Most of all, I appreciated their attention to detail. Eric made reservations at two wonderful restaurants during my stay and he somehow ensured that the vineyards knew I would be arriving for tastings. Clearly Evanne and Eric have a strong relationships with these places. I was so appreciative of the special requests that they put in for me. Truly a relaxing, peaceful, and elegant getaway. I'm sending all of my friends.
The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Every inch of the home is gorgeous and sparkling clean and we felt very comfortable and at home. Our suite was stunning, just perfect with beautiful views. Eric and Evanne are such attentive and sweet people. We loved being in the saltwater pool at sunset. The club in the basement was a huge surprise. My only complaint was only having booked it for only one night. I am already planning our return trip!!
Our visit to Walden Hall was the most unique B&B experience that we have ever had! Instead of your typical stuffy B&B governed by cheery (or grumpy) retirees; Walden Hall provided a relaxed resort style atmosphere. The pros: -The details were amazing! Nightly turn down service, beautiful room designs, social happy hour, even artfully rolled Egyptian cotton towels in the gym. I could go on forever.. -More amenities than most large resorts! We spent hours by the saltwater pool, played billiards in "the club", went fishing by the lake and stayed up late playing mrs pacman in the arcade! -Amazing Innkeepers! Evanne and Eric are probably the most thoughtful, caring and professional hosts that we have ever encountered. -Tons to do in the area! We had a lovely evening at Its about Thyme toured a local distillery and took a short drive up to Ducard Vineyards to sit and relax with some good wine. -Amazing breakfast experience! The meals are locally sourced, simple yet elegant and utterly delicious. We ate on the front porch and watched the birds fly around the gardens before taking a walk around the pond. The light classical music outside was an excellent touch! The cons: -We did not have time to use the fire pit or the theater! We will have to stay again for more than two nights so we can try to do a little of everything. We will be back very soon and will be bringing our friends! Thank you so much for your hospitality and congratulations on your success!
Erik and Evanne are wonderful hosts. We stayed in the luxurious Walt Whitman grande suite and spent the weekend lounging in the beautiful saltwater swimming pool. The bed and linens are top of the line, and the breakfasts on the large front porch were delicious with a gorgeous view. Happy hours were fun times to visit with other guests and try some great wines. Looking forward to future stays at this fantastic resort!! Highly recommended.
This new Inn allows you to reconnect with nature as Thoreau would have imagined but in a manor far removed from a sparse cabin on Walden Pond. The innkeepers Eric and Evanne are attentive but not intrusive responding to every small request with warm hospitality. The Inn and grounds are spectacular. We stayed in the Walt Whitman Grande and it was just that absolutely grand! Luxurious but touchable. The breakfasts were imaginative and delicious and they easily accommodated our gluten free requirement. They served wine and cheese, late afternoon, with local Virginia wines including our favorite winery DuCard. We stayed for three nights and it was a perfect getaway. Walden Hall would be lovely any time of year.
Walden Hall is absolutely perfect. The grounds are amazing and our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing. The best breakfast and cookies ever! The staff was phenomenal.
My husband and I stayed at the Inn so that we would have close proximity to Old Rag Mountain and White Oak Canyon trails for hiking. The Diana room was generous in size and the soaking tub was a treat after our long days of hiking. The breakfasts were hot and good and the conversations enjoyable.
It was a pretty nice B&B. It seemed a little pricey for what we got. Though we were trying to "get away", there was no cell service and no WiFi, which was a bit disconcerting, especially given that we had left our kids with a sitter and didn't like being unreachable.
Even though we stay for just one night, my wife and I enjoy the stay that much that we have done this for twelve years.
Will be back for the great hospitality!!! Seane and Frank are both wonderfully awesome people and really know how to make thier guests feel at home. Thank you so much
The Inn keepers are very nice people. Shauna was extremely accommodating about a late check in on Friday night. Breakfast both mornings was delicious. The dining table was set each morning with lovely china. The cottage could use updating, but the bed was comfortable and the area is wonderfully quiet. The Inn is not far from Old Rag and made our hiking weekend convenient.
very nice place. cottage was cozy and comfortable. Seane Malone is a lovely lady and the chef was a hoot!
An absolutely great place. Rooms are clean and breakfast is delicious. Frank (the chef) makes it a point that you know that all ingridients are bought at Amish market, organicaly grown, fresh and unlike anything that can be found in mainstream grocery stores. While you savor every piece, Frank and Shawna are like to talk and are full of stories from organic cooking to spas to recreation to what healthy eating really means. Absolutely outstanding place, I'be been there twice, 7 years ago as well as just recently and hope to make it a yearly get away.
What I love most about the place was the peace and tranquility. Seane and Frank are the warmest innkeepers we have met. Very helpful, giving us detailed directions to the place. Asked us about our plans, made very helpful suggestions. We'll definitely be back.
The site was great,the hosts very welcoming. Food incredible.
Seane & Frank are exceptional hosts! We had such a wonderfully relaxing time and the food was out of this world! Good home cooking. The room was immaculate, and our dinner was very romantic.
I left feeling like the wonderful hosts were long-time friends. Quiet, beautiful location with delicious, gourmet, lovingly prepared breakfasts served with Frank's light-hearted serenades. Seane is a gem -- true, loving soul. These wonderful folks epitomize the word "caretaker"! Kittye
Our stay at Fountain Hall Bed and Breakfast couldn't have been better. Steve and Kathi made us feel at home. They were a wealth of knowledge that helped us with our visit in their area as well as other areas of Virginia. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It made us want to live in a beautiful, old, charming, home with soaring ceilings, rich woodwork and a grand, center staircase. After a restful sleep we were greeted with several choices for breakfast including freshly baked croissants, fresh fruit, and coffee. We would not hesitate to visit again.
Spent only one night--and one WONDERFUL breakfast--at the Inn, but felt very welcomed and cared for. Coffee was made early just for me, a winery visit was arranged, and it was a very pleasant stay.

Clay Animation Project
Follow the link to see a lesson on studying the history of clay animation: http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/renee-animation.htm
"The main objective here was to create a visual story without words. In this unit we studied the history and process of clay animation. The class took one day out and watched a Wallace and Grommit movie. Working in groups of three, we then developed our plot with the help of a storyboard. After the storyboard was filled out we split up jobs in our groups. One or two of us designed our characters out of clay and someone designed a setting. We all took turns photographing and rearranging the clay characters. The next step took us to the lab where we edited and animated our claymation story."

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 86
Director: David Christopher
Company: Feline Films
Distribution Companies: Legend
Cast: Billy Glide, Domino (I), Shawnee, Steve Taylor, Cheyne Collins, Alexis Malone, Ariana Jollee, Pussyman, Venus (I), Jassie (I), Lee Stone
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Few porn watchers can resist a vid with Jassie on the box.
Blondie Alexis Malone has taken on the duty of running Pussyman's Hollywood Harlot agency, and a fine job she's doing, recruiting the likes of nasty, young, up and cummers, Ariana Jollee and Shawnee, who perform an anal and A2M-heavy scene with Steve Taylor (and another guy who mysteriously vanishes midway through), and a rockin' boy/girl with Lee Stone, respectively.
El Pussyman has the good sense, however, to save Alexis' best find for last, that being the delectable Jassie, who arrives at the Pussyman compound with Billy Glide and auditions by engaging in a wank-tastic threeway with him and Malone. One note of curiosity, though: despite Glide's making a point of proclaiming that Jassie "does guys now," she goes nowhere near his dick in this scene, sticking solely to trading pussy licks with Malone. Not a complaint - just sayin'.

FC Zurich goalkeeper Anthony Favre in horrendous fail against Grasshopper
Sunday saw Grasshopper take on near neighbours FC Zurich in the 245th installment of the Zurich derby.
Home side Grasshopper were 1-0 down inside the first eight minutes. However, they only had to wait another three minutes until they were absolutely gifted an equaliser by their bitter cross-town rivals.
For reasons unbeknownst, Zurich goalkeeper Anthony Favre decided to ignore the rapidly approaching Grasshopper attackers and continue messing around playing short balls back and forth with his defenders.

Now Try a Rule-Busting Combo that Works
Blue and dining rooms aren't supposed to mix. No food is blue, so in theory, the color could kill your appetite. Blue is also supposed to encourage introspection, not conversation. But by varying the tone and intensity of the hue, you can find plenty of wiggle room. This particular palette with Benjamin Moore's Blueberry on the walls, white on trim and furniture, and Fool's Gold for the ceiling, is simply electric. You'll find yourself asking for seconds and chatting up a storm.

I am using WordPress as a little cms but still would like to keep the blog aspect in its own area.
I have set the main mage to be home a written page not a post.
I would like the default blog info to go under a blog page and act as a normal wp blog
I have labeled a written page as blog and it seems to add the comment box at the bottom but doesn't work as the normal blog.
Any ideas how i can just dump the blog aspect into its own area ready for when its needed, so in the future when you add a post it goes onto that blog aspect?
Hope that makes sense, anyone help me out?
Many thanks :)

Carl Paladino's Team Has Armed Itself With 'Evidence' That Andrew Cuomo Is 'Anti-Semitic'
He is friends with Russell Simmons! Egad!
Gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino has spent a good part of the morning backtracking from the inflammatory, anti-gay statements he made yesterday. ("Exposing [children] to homosexuality, especially at a gay pride parade ... they wear these little speedos and they grind against each other. It's just a terrible thing," he told Matt Lauer on the Today show. Lauer quite rightly takes him to task on his verbiage both on the air and at last night's speech.) But just as the bigotry spotlight is swinging his way, the New York Post reveals that Paladino's own team may be prepping an attack against Andrew Cuomo, seeking to brand the attorney general an "anti-Semite."
In 500 pages worth of anti-Cuomo research that was probably actually prepared for a 2002 Pataki reelection campaign (in case Cuomo ran against him). The Post zeroes in on one page in particular:
"Memorandum. Date: June 21, 2001. Re: Andrew Cuomo an anti-Semite?" one page of the material begins. "While Americans are sleeping in the streets and rundown HUD housing, their landlord Andrew Cuomo is in bed with terrorists?" it continues. "First: Instead of focusing on the poor and homeless here in the United States, HUD Secretary Cuomo traveled to the Middle East to befriend terrorist Yasser Arafat and Palestine. "Now: Cuomo names Russell Simmons, a supporter of anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, a 'senior black advisor' to his campaign," the document continues. Cuomo, as HUD secretary, met with Arafat and Palestinian leaders in 2000 to discuss housing and refugee issues during an official visit to the Mideast. Renowned hip-hop entrepreneur and Phat Farm fashion creator Simmons has been a longtime Cuomo supporter and financial backer, as well as an aggressive opponent of anti-Semitism and racism. He hosted the Nation of Islam leader and his sons at his lower Manhattan home last year when they were in New York to greet Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy.
Wait, wait, wait. Andrew Cuomo is friends with Russell Simmons? That is the last straw! Anyone who would actually marry Kimora Lee is obviously a dangerous political dissident.
The moral of this story, meanwhile, is Paladino views implied anti-Semitism as a far more politically damaging sentiment than open homophobia. Consider that as you watch this clip from this morning's Today show:

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan was critically injured in a fatal six-vehicle pileup on the New Jersey Turnpike on Saturday, hours after performing a standup routine at a show in Delaware, authorities said.
A limousine bus carrying the former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" cast member and six others overturned after it was hit by a tractor-trailer near Cranbury Township at about 1 a.m., state police Sgt. 1st Class Greg Williams said.
James McNair, 62, of Peekskill, New York, a passenger in the limo bus, died in the crash, Williams said. Three other men, including Morgan, were in critical condition at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital, and one was in fair condition, he said. Two occupants weren't injured.
Morgan's publicist said the comedian was in the chauffeured vehicle returning from a tour date when the crash occurred.
Williams declined to release details of the pileup, which involved two tractor-trailers, an SUV, two cars and Morgan's limo bus.
Kay's statement did not reveal the extent of Morgan's injuries or identify the others involved in the crash.
The 45-year-old New York City native joined "SNL" in 1996 and was on the sketch-comedy program for seven years. In 2006, Morgan found a long-running role on NBC's hit show "30 Rock."

If I modify or add an environment variable I have to restart the command prompt (minor inconvenience). Is there a command I could execute that would do this without restarting CMD?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You can capture the system environment variables with a vbs script, but you need a bat script to actually change the current environment variables, so this is a combined solution.
Create a file named
create another file name resetvars.bat containing this code, same location:
When you want to refresh the environment variables, just run resetvars.bat.
The two main problems I had coming up with this solution were
a. I couldn't find a straightforward way to export environment variables from a vbs script back to the command prompt, and
b. the PATH environment variable is a concatenation of the user and the system PATH variables.
I'm not sure what the general rule is for conflicting variables between user and system, so I elected to make user override system, except in the PATH variable which is handled specifically.
I use the weird vbs+bat+temporary bat mechanism to work around the problem of exporting variables from vbs.
Note: this script does not delete variables.
This can probably be improved.
If you need to export the environment from one cmd window to another, use this script (let's call it
By design there isn't a built in mechanism for Windows to propagate an environment variable add/change/remove to an already running cmd.exe, either from another cmd.exe or from "My Computer -> Properties ->Advanced Settings -> Environment Variables".
If you modify or add a new environment variable outside of the scope of an existing open command prompt you either need to restart the command prompt, or, manually add using SET in the existing command prompt.
The latest accepted answer shows a partial work-around by manually refreshing all the environment variables in a script. The script handles the use case of changing environment variables globally in "My Computer...Environment Variables", but if an environment variable is changed in one cmd.exe the script will not propagate it to another running cmd.exe.
This works on windows 7:
tested by typing echo %PATH% and it worked, fine. also set if you open a new cmd, no need for those pesky reboots any more :)
Use "setx" and restart cmd prompt
There is a command line tool named "setx" for this job. It's for reading and writing env variables. The variables persist after the command window has been closed.
It "Creates or modifies environment variables in the user or system environment, without requiring programming or scripting. The setx command also retrieves the values of registry keys and writes them to text files."
Note: variables created or modified by this tool will be available in future command windows but not in the current CMD.exe command window. So, you have to restart.
Or modify the registry
MSDN says:
I came across this answer before eventually finding an easier solution.
Simply restart
I didn't test, but you may also need to reopen you command prompt.
Credit to Timo Huovinen here: Node not recognized although successfully installed (if this helped you, please go give this man's comment credit).
Calling this function has worked for me:
Here is what Chocolatey uses.
The best method I came up with was to just do a Registry query. Here is my example.
In my example I did an install using a Batch file that added new environment variables. I needed to do things with this as soon as the install was complete, but was unable to spawn a new process with those new variables. I tested spawning another explorer window and called back to cmd.exe and this worked but on Vista and Windows 7, Explorer only runs as a single instance and normally as the person logged in. This would fail with automation since I need my admin creds to do things regardless of running from local system or as an administrator on the box. The limitation to this is that it does not handle things like path, this only worked on simple enviroment variables. This allowed me to use a batch to get over to a directory (with spaces) and copy in files run .exes and etc. This was written today from may resources on stackoverflow.com
Orginal Batch calls to new Batch:
testenvget.cmd SDROOT (or whatever the variable)
Also there is another method that I came up with from various different ideas. Please see below. This basically will get the newest path variable from the registry however, this will cause a number of issues beacuse the registry query is going to give variables in itself, that means everywhere there is a variable this will not work, so to combat this issue I basically double up the path. Very nasty. The more perfered method would be to do: Set Path=%Path%;C:\Program Files\Software....\
Regardless here is the new batch file, please use caution.
It is possible to do this by overwriting the Environment Table within a specified process itself.
As a proof of concept I wrote this sample app, which just edited a single (known) environment variable in a cmd.exe process:
Sample output:
This approach would also be limited to security restrictions. If the target is run at higher elevation or a higher account (such as SYSTEM) then we wouldn't have permission to edit its memory.
If you wanted to do this to a 32-bit app, the hard coded offsets above would change to 0x10 and 0x48 respectively. These offsets can be found by dumping out the _PEB and _RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS structs in a debugger (e.g. in WinDbg
To change the proof-of-concept into a what the OP needs, it would just enumerate the current system and user environment variables (such as documented by @tsadok's answer) and write the entire environment table into the target process' memory.
Edit: The size of the environment block is also stored in the _RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS struct, but the memory is allocated on the process' heap. So from an external process we wouldn't have the ability to resize it and make it larger. I played around with using VirtualAllocEx to allocate additional memory in the target process for the environment storage, and was able to set and read an entirely new table. Unfortunately any attempt to modify the environment from normal means will crash and burn as the address no longer points to the heap (it will crash in RtlSizeHeap).
just restart explorer.exe >> tested on win 8 X64
Environment variables are kept in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment.
Many of the useful env vars, such as Path, are stored as REG_SZ. There are several ways to access the registry including REGEDIT:
The output starts with magic numbers. So to search it with the find command it needs to be typed and redirected:
So, if you just want to refresh the path variable in your current command session with what's in system properties the following batch script works fine:
@echo off REM This solution requests elevation in order to read from the registry. if exist %temp%\env.reg del %temp%\env.reg /q /f REGEDIT /E %temp%\env.reg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment" if not exist %temp%\env.reg ( echo "Unable to write registry to temp location" exit 1 ) SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion for /f "tokens=1,2* delims==" %%i in ('type %temp%\env.reg ^| findstr -c:\"Path\"=') do ( set upath=%%~j echo !upath:\\=\! >%temp%\newpath ) ENDLOCAL for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (%temp%\newpath) do set path=%%i
Try opening a new command prompt as an administrator. This worked for me on Windows 10. (I know this is an old answer, but I had to share this because having to write a VBS script just for this is absurd).
I use the following code in my batch scripts:
By using SET after SETX it is possible to use the "local" variable directly without restarting the command window. And on the next run, the enviroment variable will be used.
There is no straight way, as Kev said. In most cases, it is simpler to spawn another CMD box. More annoyingly, running programs are not aware of changes either (although IIRC there might be a broadcast message to watch to be notified of such change).
It have been worse: in older versions of Windows, you had to log off then log back to take in account the changes...
I liked the approach followed by chocolatey, as posted in anonymous coward's answer, since it is a pure batch approach. However, it leaves a temporary file and some temporary variables lying around. I made a cleaner version for myself.
Make a file
no, I don't think so... you can set them manually though. So you can put them in a batch file or something.
probably could make a utility/script (if someone hasn't already) that queries the registry and sets the current enviroment to be the same
Edit: this only works if the environment changes you're doing are as a result of running a batch file.
If a batch file begins with
Almost every batch file I write begins with
To solve this I have changed the environment variable using BOTH setx and set, and then restarted all instances of explorer.exe. This way any process subsequently started will have the new environment variable.
My batch script to do this:
The problem with this approach is that all explorer windows that are currently opened will be closed, which is probably a bad idea - But see the post by Kev to learn why this is necessary
The easiest way to add a variable to the path without rebooting for the current session is to open the command prompt and type:
and press enter.
to check if your variable loaded, type
and press enter. However, the variable will only be a part of the path until you reboot.
Or you can just do it manually via
Windows XP Environment variables
Windows 7 Environment variables
hope this helps.

Amtrak's Arte boards the offset tree train
My mother happened to take Amtrak down to DC Friday — the day they were handing out trees to offset train travel, which is how I heard of this dubious program.
My mother received a transparent plastic cylinder containing a small Colorado Blue Spruce with the label "plant this tree and offset the carbon output from 14,000 miles of train travel."
Yes, like the Pope, Amtrak never got the "trees are lousy offsets" memo from here or Gristmill. Fortunately, Amtrak is the energy efficient way to travel inland, and trees are great things to have — though it is a bit odd handing out the state tree of Colorado, which is native to the West, in DC.
Anyway, the plastic cylinder directs us to "Learn more @ whistlestop.Amtrak.com" where we meet "Arte the environmental engineer," probably the lamest corporate environmental mascot ever. Arte is named for Amtrak Recognizes the Environment — yes, we all recognize the environment as it whizzes by us at 60 mph. More strangely, Arte is a typical leaf, but the Blue Spruce is an evergreen conifer.
Well, at least Amtrak isn't handing out iron for ocean fertilization.
One Response to Amtrak's Arte boards the offset tree train
People assume that public transportation is energy efficient, but it is not always true. Is Amtrak energy efficient? At http://tinyurl.com/n22lr it says Amtrak energy intensity was 2,935 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per passenger-mile. A Prius uses 1,706 BTUs per passenger-mile (46 MPG, 124,000 BTU/gallon, 1.58 passengers per vehicle). Amtrak is capable of much higher efficiencies when the trains are fully loaded, but they are not. European and Japanese trains operate much more efficiently than Amtrak.
Some US public transportation is very efficient, such as San Francisco's BART. One report said "During the lowest day time ridership hour in the midday lull (noon – 1PM) BART averaged 360 watt hours per person-mile (wh/p-m). From 4-5PM the average was 251 wh/p-m and from 5-6PM it was only 171 wh/p-m." 171 Wh is 583 BTU, so BART at rush hour is almost 3 times the efficiency of the Prius. Better, it is electric, so it has the potential to be zero GHG with the right electric grid.

Fire damages Rutland City homeStaff Report | November 10,2013A fire caused heavy damage to the rear of a single-family home Saturday night in Rutland City.
No one was home at the time of the fire, which was called in at about 7:15 p.m.
City Fire Lt. Brad LaFaso said four trucks were dispatched and firefighters met with heavy smoke coming out of the rear of the house when they arrived at 15 Hopkins St.
It took about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire, LaFaso said.
They got it down pretty quick, he said.
The cause of the fire was undetermined at press time, but LaFaso said it started in the kitchen area of the two-story woodframe house.
The property is owned by Everett Louder. The names and number of tenants renting the home were unknown at press time.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

No one can see women of a certain age. We--I am of a certain age--are nothing but the ghosts of our former selves. We have a contentious relationship with mirrors just like Snow White's stepmother. We fight aging with Botox, HRT, calcium, and even anti-depressants. Clover Hobart in Calling Invisible Women has contemplated figurative invisibility, but one fall day she becomes literally invisible.
After thinking she has had a breakdown or a stroke, Clover becomes proactive and explores the possibilities of invisibility. This novel has laugh-out-loud moments, is well-plotted, has great characters, and has thoughtful ideas about women and aging.
In the world of manga, Ryoko Kiyama is an ideal character. His eyes turn into pulsating hearts when he sees the object of his affection, sadness creates literal storm clouds overhead, and he is an expert at combating giant lizards and robots without getting injured. After accidentally falling through an "interdimensional cross-rip," however, Ryoko's ordinary behavior suddenly becomes freakish and bizarre. Ryoko has accidentally fallen into Western comics, a place populated by American teenagers who struggle to understand and tolerate such a strange visitor.

Zero History by William Gibson: "Former rock singer Hollis Henry and ex-addict Milgrim, an accomplished linguist, are at the front line of a sinister proprietor's attempts to get a slice of the military budget. When a Department of Defense contract for combat-wear turns out to be the gateway drug for arms dealers, they gradually realize their employer has some very dangerous competitors--including Garreth, a ruthless ex-military officer with lots of friends. Set largely in London after our post-Crash times."
If you enjoyed this book's depiction of a plausible near future and integration of philosophy into the narrative, here are some other titles you may enjoy:
Blood Music by Greg Bear
Experimenting with biochips, Vergil Ulam creates instead a microscopic intelligence that mutates. Vergil injects himself with the disease culture to smuggle it out of the country. That is how the end of the world begins. (worldcat.org)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Aldous Huxley's tour de force, Brave New World is a darkly satiric vision of a "utopian" future—where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying entertainment. (amazon.com)
In Margaret Peterson Haddix's Found, Jonah Skidmore feels like an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy. His family consists of a slightly annoying but smart younger sister named Katherine and a mom and dad who love him unconditionally. Jonah is adopted and has known this fact for a while but it's never been a big deal for him because his parents have always been open about it to him. Life definitely feels normal for Jonah. That is, until the mysterious letter arrives--the letter that contains just six words: YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. The letter does not contain a signature or a return address. Who sent it? Where did it come from? What does it mean?
"I'll be happy when…I win the lottery. Snag my dream job. Lose that last ten pounds." Does that sound familiar? Marci Shimoff in Happy for No Reason points out the flaws in this type of thinking and presents practical advice for living a life of happiness, regardless of your circumstances. Shimoff herself thought she had achieved the American Dream as a successful, published author married to a loving husband and living in a beautiful home. But she, too, felt something was missing from her life. Through her research and her interviews of the "Happy 100," Shimoff discovers that happiness is derived from within and offers the following seven steps to creating your own happiness:
1. Take Ownership of Your Happiness
2. Don't Believe Everything You Think
3. Let Love Lead
4. Make Your Cells Happy
5. Plug Yourself Into Spirit
6. Live a Life Inspired by Purpose
7. Cultivate Nourishing Relationships
So, why should you read this book now that I've given away Shimoff's seven steps? Because although these steps are the basics of Shimoff's plan, her explanations and advice are well worth reading, to the point where I wanted to dog-ear the book's pages (as it was a library book, I did not). Even the new-age concept of the Law of Attraction had me thinking "what if it is true?" and "what do I have to lose?"
Halfway through this spring, during a week of practically living out of our minivan and eating dinners on the run due to a parade of soccer games, drama rehearsals, and tae kwon do practices, I said to myself, "Enough. I want to get off this ride!" I picked up Putting Family First: Successful Strategies for Reclaiming Family Life in a Hurry-Up World, by William Doherty and Barbara Carlson, and devoured it in the next 2 days. Doherty and Carlson first trace the evolution of the overscheduling of today's kids and then provide concrete steps for reclaiming family time. I found myself nodding along to almost every chapter and came away with some great suggestions for how to streamline our outside commitments and reconnect as a family.
Doherty points out there are positive reasons why kids are busier today - like more opportunities to choose from - but also several that are negative, like more intense sports schedules, fear that children will be left behind if they don't engage from an early age, and parental guilt due to long work schedules. Whatever the reasons, Doherty stresses that the end result is that "the adult world of hypercompetition and marketplace values has invaded the family." What to do about it? The first step is to slow down and reconnect over family meals, optimally four times a week or more. The second is to reclaim bedtime as a soothing ritual. And the third step is to look critically at the schedule, cut back on outside obligations, and find time to "hang out as a family."
