What happens if you lose your records in US or Canada? Ok, your hard drive crashed or you had a a big flood or tornado destroy all your records, and you get audited. No where in the Tax Code does the word MERCY occur. You MUST still have back up or you can reconstruct your records. If no documentation and no basis for reconstruction: tough luck!
It is thus VITAL that you always back up your hard drive ( especially if it contains valuable tax documentation such as scanned documents) on the web or store a back up in a fire proof safe or safe deposit box. Remember NO documentation for any reason= no deductions
Big Tip: Video everything that you own. Make sure that you speak into the video describing the items such as "sony 51 inch trinitron." Make sure you note the serial numbers if there is a burglary so that the police can track down your items. Take a picture of all kitchen appliances, art, decorations, furnishings and clothing in case of fire or tornado. You will REALLY thank me for this information if a disaster happens to your home

I have shopped at QVC for at least 9 years I have never had a problem with returning anything although in all that time I have probably only returned half a dozen things and thats not because they were faulty but because I didnt like them. I usually get my parcels in three days. At Christmas time the gifts I bought were so good and just that bit different that my friends and family were delighted with their presents and it looked like I had put a lot of effort in choosing and buying them. I check out all the new seasons fashion and the jewelry is the best, from fashion jewelry to proper gem stone and gold and silver there is nobody who does jewelry better. QVC has introduced me to new skin care products which I probably would not have used and with the try me offers and easy pay life is so much easier.

www.QVCUK.com review by Pat Greenhough on February 11th, 2013 at 4:06 pm
I have spent a considerable amount with QVC, however, most of the products have been returned. The fashions come across as lovely, the descriptions sound amazing, but when the items arrive, it's a massive "let-down".
I've also found out, that if you send items back, they don't always return the correct sum of money, which is a big concern. I can only suggest that customers check, very carefully, they receive any "returns" payment correctly.

I have been a customer for quite a few years and have always been pleased with my goods and the customer care and reliability the clothes are always of exceptional value

www.QVCUK.com review by J Fitzgerald on January 18th, 2014 at 3:23 pm
I ordered a box containing 8 different packets and boxes of chocolates which arrived in time for Christmas and were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful I also ordered a box containing 6 items of No Added Sugar Diabetic chocolates which were the most dreadful chocolates I have ever seen. The main box was not included in the pack and the chocolates in the bags were all white (old and stale) The presentation was absolutely disgusting, I just couldnt believe that the chocolates were from the same company Thorntons. I paid £32 for the first box and £30 for the diabetic box, which is not cheap. When I found that the main box was missing I telephoned QVC to report the missing item, as I hadn't opened the other packets I didn't report the stale chocolates. The QVC operator apologised and said that Thorntons would send me the missing item, that was 3 weeks ago and I am still waiting.. I dont want a replacement I want to be fully refunded for the second order. I await your comments.

How Sen. Dodd's Financial Reform Almost Killed Financing of Startups
On the surface, former Sen. Christopher Dodd's financial regulatory bill seemed like a good idea in 2010.
After the monstrous financial meltdown with far-reaching consequences, most Americans probably supported a strong consumer protection agency and measures to prevent systemic risk.
However, portions of the 1336-page bill, "Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010," were upsetting to businesspeople — including me.
It raised red flags about startup funding.
A salient theme of this Biz Coach portal has been advocating policies for a healthy economic environment and creation of jobs.
Growth of the U.S. economy depends heavily on the formation of new businesses.
Also alarmed were angel investors, who play a salient role in the development of new firms.
Economic growth is exactly what policymakers should promote.
But the bill, supported by the Obama Administration, had provisions that would have stifled financing of startups that have the potential to attract investors.
Angel investors
Marianne Hudson, the executive director of the Angel Capital Association indicated her concerns:
- Section 412 and 413, "Adjusting the Accredited Investor Standard for Inflation," would prevent up to "77 percent of accredited investors" from investing in new firms.
- Section 926, "Authority of State Regulators Over Regulation D Offerings," would complicate the raising of funds from "different states, make it unclear what entities regulate angel investments, and introduce potential lengthy waiting periods for businesses to receive their capital, possibly resulting in the death of those businesses."
Also at the forefront of the offensive to persuade Sen. Dodd to amend his financial reform bill was Joe Wallin, who was a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP in Seattle (now a principal at Carney Badley Spellman P.S. He was one of two Seattle attorneys who worked feverishly to kill the bill. (Mr. Wallin's bio.)
The other was Bill Carleton, a member of McNaul Ebel Nawrot & Helgren PLLC.
In an excerpted interview, Mr. Wallin explains his concerns:
Q: What would have been the new rules?
A: Before companies could accept money from investors they would have to file paperwork with the SEC and wait 120 days. If the SEC didn't review the filing and conclude that the filing qualified for the federal securities law exemption, companies would have to file paperwork with the states in which the investors lived and wait for the states to determine that the sale of the securities qualified for the securities law exemption.
Q: What would have been the impacts?
A: Huge delays that will be very harmful to companies and job creation. YouTube was created from scratch and sold for billions in less time. The vibrancy of our early stage companies and their ecosystem would be destroyed.
Q: What was the motive for such legislation?
A: Federal legislators are reacting to frauds like the one Bernie Madoff committed. State securities regulators want more power to regulate early stage company security offerings in the hopes of preventing frauds.
Q: What else would you like to add?
A: A big theme for the Democrats is returning power to the states so that the states can make their own rules for businesses and not be stuck with federal rules that they might not like. This might make sense in certain circumstances but I don't believe this is one of them.
From the Coach's Corner, here's more on financial reform and two articles with valuable tips from an angel investor:
Fair-Value Accounting Standards Aren't 'Fair' — Stanford Professor — Transparency became a priority following all of the shenanigans that led to the financial crisis and the Great Recession. Banks drew fire because they used traditional accounting principles in order to downplay their huge losses from junk mortgages. The banks valued their financial assets on their original costs. That was problematic but reforms are unfair, according to a Stanford University accounting professor.
How to Attract an Angel Investor — Now that a UNH study indicates early stage financing by angel investors is more advantageous than venture capital money, what now? An angel investor offers seven tips.
Angel Investor: Tips for Increasing Cash Flow, Profits — A successful angel investor shares his tips for good cash flow and other profit issues.

Welcome back to Beloit College's Museum Monday series, in which the Logan Museum of Anthropology and the Wright Museum of Art let you know what's new and interesting in the college museums. Generally, we alternate between Logan and Wright Museum news.
This week, the Logan Museum wants to let everyone know that Bill Green, the museum's James E. Lockwood Jr. Director and adjunct professor of anthropology, has returned after a sabbatical.
He spent most of the past year researching and writing on Iowa and Illinois archaeological projects. His fieldwork in southeast Iowa involved colleagues from the National Park Service and the University of Iowa, and Beloit anthropology and museum studies graduate Glenne Tietzer'16.

His fieldwork focused on a place in the Mississippi River valley known as Gast Farm. A village site at the eastern end of Gast Farm dates to around A.D. 100 and one at the western end to around A.D. 400. Bill had excavated parts of both sites in the 1990s along with students and volunteers when he was the state archaeologist of Iowa, but the full layout of the villages was never clear. So last year he arranged for a geophysical survey of both sites. The survey used magnetic gradiometers to detect anomalies, mostly pits and other features that show where people had lived. For the first time, the overall village plans became clear: both communities were donut-shaped, featuring a ring of dwellings surrounding an open plaza. The survey also revealed that seven mounds, long since plowed down, were situated between the two sites. As he watched the village layouts and mounds take shape on the computer screen, Bill dubbed those discoveries—"wonderful things" —as his Howard Carter moments.
He received generous support for his fieldwork from the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration and from Beloit College through a Keefer Senior Faculty Grant.
While on sabbatical, Bill gave several conference presentations and worked on collections and archives in Davenport and Iowa City, Iowa, Madison, Wis., and Springfield, Ill. Between research trips, he also found time to visit Portugal, Spain, Cuba, and Austria. All in all, it was an enjoyable and productive year.

Bill says he's happy that the Logan Museum's curator of collections Nicolette Meister filled in so effectively as acting director in his absence. The Logan was a busy place last year and promises to be just as active this year. Stay in touch with the Logan via Museum Mondays and on Facebook and Instagram.

The costs many different materials varies much, too. But, if you think about the investment being made in the home's comfort and expense, that's something that may be handled. However, as there are the price tag on obtaining a roofing company on the installation.
Can it be smart to search local listings online for top contractors? Or, should I ask the roofing manufacturer for local firms that are authorized to setup many?
I'm pleased to have a look at picking a contractor as the second purchase of your entire project, so I don't mind make payment on going price. I actually do be worried about deciding on a contractor that is certainly licensed and bonded and contains the feeling necessary to perform a great job.
Let me pick a good contractor! We are certain that the rooftop itself will be as effective as its installation. I need tips about things to look for in the quality contractor.

ID fixe?
July 3rd, 2014 | Other Projects
Yesterday I had to go to the DMV to renew my license. How many identification cards have I posed for throughout my life, how many moments of bureaucracy-induced anomie have been captured, laminated, and carried around in my pocket for years until replaced with the next iteration? Roughly seventeen, apparently. Here I am aging from 17 to 53 in 20 seconds.


text:
An essay entitled Mother, Writer, Monster, Maid was a revealing portrayal of California-based writer Rufi Thorpe's struggle to reconcile the drudgery of motherhood with the creative life.
She recounted her bitterness at having to manage the cooking, cleaning and childcare while dealing with an unaware and ostensibly unsupportive husband. "I would never willingly enter into this state of servitude again," she said. Additionally, "the idea of cooking some idiot man dinner for the rest of my life makes my skin prickle with rage."
Her sentiments resonated with many modern women.
It doesn't say much for progress to realise that a 2016 essay (which Canvas ran in abridged form) is echoing concerns with which women have struggled for decades: how to balance competing demands between home, work, family, art, self.
And it just goes to show that a marriage, which presumably starts out as a way of expressing love for and commitment to another person, can sometimes end up appearing less like a legal-binding of two equals and more akin to a master-servant relationship.
So, although it's not the 1950s any more, it's worth noting the pitfalls associated with marriage that can still lie ahead for the unwary.
1. Servility
This was not the main point of Thorpe's essay but it was so bizarre that it remains my lingering impression.
Her husband "consistently" drops his underwear on the floor and she picks up after him.
She's smart, she's articulate, she's successful, she's angry, she has a job, she has two small children - and she picks up her husband's dirty undies.
Maybe that's why she's angry. (He also leaves wet towels lying around; I'm guessing she deals with these, too.) Mind you, just quietly, if someone picked up after me I'd probably discard used items all over the place, too. It would be almost rude not to.
2. Housework
Fifteen years ago I wrote about how women do more than their fair share of the domestic housework.
As far as I can tell that's still true. One more recent article reported that men put out the rubbish and change light-bulbs but blithely ignore 36 other household chores that need doing.
Women may be fighting valiantly to be seen (and remunerated) as equals in the workplace but the battle for equality at home seems to have barely started.
3. Childcare
"Until raising children is more about parenting and less about mothering, women won't be able to achieve true equality", I wrote in 2012.
It astonishes me that it's still widely believed that women should be the primary caregivers of children. Existing biological imperatives might dictate that a woman has to physically produce the child but nowhere is it written that, once the child is born, fathers can't be the main caregiver or at least take on fifty per cent of the responsibility.
And, yes, I know dozens and dozens of loving, highly involved fathers. But the presence of these men has not meant that the day-in-day-out burden of childcare has shifted from women. In most cases, the involvement of these dads is a benefit, a bonus, a "nice to have", rather than a game changer.
4. Emotional labour
Last November I wrote about the uneven burden of emotional labour.
There are no prizes for guessing which partner in a relationship is responsible for "[p]lanning what is for dinner, remembering birthdays, arranging children's playdates and thinking about buying new sheets because the old ones are getting tired".
To the uninitiated these tasks may sound trivial but there are hundreds of them and they all take time in pondering and executing. Furthermore, this little inequality "gives men the freedom to go out every day with minds unimpeded by the minutiae of daily life".
5. Surname change
If entering into a marriage means that a woman puts her needs last and acts as an unpaid cook, cleaner, childcare worker and emotional labourer, then, in the scheme of things, sacrificing her own surname on the bonfire of male vanity can be viewed as not a big deal.
There's clearly been a lot of that thinking going on, judging by the fact that the old-fashioned "Mr & Mrs" is still an actual thing rather than a relic from a patriarchal past.
The anti-feminist truth is that women are abandoning their surnames upon marriage in droves. It's as if they've been waiting all their lives to be part of some man's personal branding exercise. But then there's no contest between male ego and female submissiveness - especially if Stockholm syndrome is a factor.

Map of Sonoma County MLS Areas
This map is a handy guide to the various areas of Sonoma County used to organize the BAREIS MLS. (That is the Bay Area Information Services Multiple Listings Service. Quite a mouthful, hence the abbreviations!) What that means is when you do a home search for property in Sonoma County, these are the physical map areas that will be included. For example, Sebastopol on this map is much larger than the actual city limits of Sebastopol. It includes all the surrounding areas of the town of Sebastopol as well and Occidental and Graton. Many properties may be listed in a particular town but in fact are in "unincorporated" Sonoma County.
Santa Rosa is so large and has so much housing inventory that it is divided into four compass quadrants, NE, NW, SE and SW. You can click on any of these map areas to see the MLS code and the map boundary lines. This is also helpful for you out of town buyers to get a feel for the various communities. Many of the communities have their own pages on this site–see the list on the right. Also, each community page will have a map with all the listings for that community as well as tools for searching various price ranges or on your own.

ISS Education Kit presented to maths teachers
What are the latest trends in teaching mathematics all over the world, and how can ESA contribute? This was the main objective of ESA's participation in the 10th International Congress on Mathematical Education held 4-11 July in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The International congress, organised on this occasion in cooperation among the Nordic countries, offered maths teachers from all over the world the opportunity to exchange views on the best mathematical practices in education, listen to a variety of lectures and to participate in discussion groups or topic study groups.
Throughout the course of the week various organisations presented themselves via exhibition stands. ESA took the opportunity to present the ISS Education Kit for secondary schools, Lift Off! and other educational materials from their stand.
At the stand Solveig Pettersen and Barbara ten Berge, ESA's International Space Station Education Officers explained, "The ISS Education Kit, developed for secondary school pupils between 12 and 15 years old, uses the International Space Station as a context to teach a variety of subjects. Exercises on biology, maths, and chemistry all related to the life and work of astronauts on board the ISS give pupils a feel of their experience in space."
The ISS Education Kit is already available in English, French, German and Dutch. Later this year the kit will also be available in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.
At the ESA stand, congress participants from the ESA Member State countries could register online for their free copy of the ISS Education Kit. Participants from other countries were shown where they could download the ISS Education Kit in pdf file format.

Riparian Forest Buffer Progress in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Find out 2017's new acres of forest buffers in your county to date and learn about forest buffer initiative success stories from across the watershed.
How is my county doing?
This map shows acres of recently enrolled (year-to-date) riparian forest buffer contracts per county in the Chesapeake Bay watershed under the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) CP22 practice. Click on the county to see prior year enrollment and total acres enrolled to date.
What is CREP and CP22?
CREP is a cost-share program authorized by the Farm Bill to pay landowners both cost-share to plant vegetative buffers and an annual rental rate for keeping it on their farm land. CP22 is the riparian forest buffer practice.
Why only CP22 acres?
CREP funds most of the riparian forest buffers planted in the watershed. The Farm Service Agency keeps up-to-date CP22 sign-up records. These records are a useful and current metric for measuring a county's progress in achieving its riparian forest buffer goals. However, CREP is not the exclusively responsible for all riparian forest buffers in the watershed. In particular, it misses the significant acreage of forest buffers planted on non-agricultural lands. If you or your organization would like your non-CREP buffer acreages reported here, please contact us.

The euro has failed and now it risks destroying us all
IT had to happen.
So fanatical are the euro's proponents and so blinkered the elites who have pushed Europe towards ever deeper union, that one of the leaders was bound to make the claim that if the grand project failed Europe could be plunged into war. The moment came on Wednesday.
Angela Merkel said: "Another half century of peace and prosperity in Europe is not to be taken for granted. If the euro fails, Europe fails. We have a historical obligation: to protect by all means Europe's unification process begun by our forefathers after centuries of hatred and blood spill. None of us can foresee what the consequences would be if we were to fail."
The surprise was not the warning. Scare tactics are the stock in trade of the eurofanatics. Remember how we were told that if we stayed out of the euro our economy would collapse?
When Chancellor Merkel talks about the terrible consequences of the European project failing, she has it entirely the wrong way round.
The surprise was that it was a German chancellor who should voice the warning. A German chancellor! Not one of the countries which lost millions of lives in the 20th century defending themselves from German aggression. Rather, the leader of the nation which caused the two world wars.
In that sense it was perhaps not remotely surprising that it should be a German warning about war. Germans are well versed in the origins of war. But for all the outrage over her remarks, which could easily be dismissed as preposterous scaremongering, they are nonetheless deeply revealing.
Because they show in stark clarity the mind set of the politicians who have driven the European project since the Treaty of Rome in 1958. In their view nothing can be allowed to derail ever-deeper union. That is the overriding purpose of everything they do. Nothing must interrupt its progress.
We see that in their casual disregard for referendum results on the rare occasions that plans are put to voters for a say. What people themselves think is unimportant compared with the grand vision of the political classes.
And we see it in their behaviour at the moment. The fundamental flaws in the euro are made clearer every day as the crisis deepens. Billions of pounds are being swept away shoring up a currency which makes no sense. Whole nations are being trampled on in protecting the idea of the euro. Livelihoods are being destroyed.
Ordinary people are being plunged into destitution. And all because of the determination to protect it at any cost.
On any rational outlook, the euro should be scrapped and its members allowed to return to their own national currencies, free to float to their appropriate level. But whatever the price to be paid to stop that happening, the political elites are prepared to force Europe to pay it – and all because of the overriding vision of a united Europe.
So when Chancellor Merkel talks about the terrible consequences of the European project failing, she has it entirely the wrong way round.
The worry is not that the euro will fail; it is the consequences of propping it up. The fervour of the eurofanatics is religious in its unyielding intensity. They accept no contradiction and are never willing to concede they might be wrong.
So despite all the evidence, all the chaos and all the trauma caused by the euro, its advocates plough on, prepared to see anything destroyed in its defence. That is the real threat to peace and to order.
It is easy to look at rioting Greeks and dismiss them as self-serving. For decades they have spent more than they have earned and lived with endemic corruption. But where the Greeks tread now, others will follow. It will not be long before Italy is crucified on the altar of the euro. Spain may follow. Maybe even France. None of this will come as a surprise to anyone who does not share the eurofanatics' religion.
It is all too predictable – and was foreseen with brilliant accuracy by the late Nicholas Ridley, a true Thatcherite and fearless politician. Ridley served with distinction in Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet before having to resign because he spoke the unpalatable truth about economic and monetary union, as the project was known in the Eighties.
He pointed out that by removing a nation's control of its currency and handing it over to Europe you remove political accountability and leave voters powerless to change things.
He explained: "Can you imagine me going to Jarrow in 1930 and saying, 'Look boys, there's a general election coming up, I know half of you are unemployed and starving and the soup kitchen's down the road but we're not going to talk about these things because they're for Herr Pohl and the Bundesbank.'"
That is exactly what is happening in Greece today and will happen again when other countries are forced to pay a still higher price for euro membership.
He next warned: "There could also be a bloody revolution. You can't change the British people for the better by saying, 'Herr Pohl says you can't do that.' They'd say, 'You know what they can do with your bloody Herr Pohl'."
The reference was to the British people but the same can be said for everyone subject to the euro's regime.
This is what Angela Merkel should really be concerned with. The worry is not that the euro will fail; that has already happened.
The worry is that in propping it up, the costs will eventually lead to something close to revolution, as the euro's victims start to fight back.

From the Desk of Officer David Proulx
Rockingham County Dept. of Corrections, Retired
After serving 20 years on this block of 80 inmates I decided to spend more time with my wife, kids and grandkids and enjoy retirement.
During that time at the Rockingham County facility in New Hampshire, it would get so loud with the inmates blasting the TV to overcome the people talking around them and then in turn the people who were talking would talk even louder to overcome the TV. The results were a headache for me and my fellow officers. It could make it a real challenge to hear an inmate call for assistance if needed.
To resolve this I did some research and tried various FM Transmitters while still being mindful of security. I needed something without a metal antenna that could be used as a shank, and it still be powerful enough to provide a good audio signal to the inmate's portable AM/FM radios.
After trying some less expensive FM Transmitters many were either not powerful enough or had metal antennas which could be used as a weapon. I then came across the Whole House FM Transmitter which has more than enough power and is compact enough to attach to the rear of the television and be out of sight with a simple strip of Velcro. It also comes with two antennas either a rubber swivel antenna or a wire whip antenna for security reasons.
This transmitter allows the officers to take back the control of the volume of the television and create some tranquility on the block. The transmitter setup is easy and quick once the installation is complete, you set it and forget it. You can turn the television off and leave the converter and transmitter on with no problems. When the television is on the volume can be turned down to a quiet volume (or no volume at all) and the inmates will adjust the volume to their desire with their personal AM/FM pocket radio and listen to the TV thru their earbuds.
This transmitter is so good they can listen to the TV from 80 feet or more. The results are a noticeably quieter atmosphere, allowing your officers to listen for any disruptions on the block and allowing them more effective control of the block.

Get Louis Van Gaal out! Man United fans wants their new boss SACKED already
JOKERS on Twitter have called for Louis Van Gaal's head - two weeks after he was unveiled as the new Manchester United boss.
United have won all three of their pre-season matches in America under the Dutchman. Last year, David Moyes won just two.
But it hasn't stopped light-hearted fans tweeting the #VanGaalOut hashtag.
United drew 0-0 with Inter Milan before seeing them off on penalties on Tuesday.
One fan wrote: "Moyes was great in Europe, therefore we would of won against Inter over the full 90minutes. #vanGaalOut #BringBackMoyes #MoyesIn".
@ManUtd No Vidal = #VanGaalOut— We are Football (@WeareFootball9) July 29, 2014
Moyes was great in Europe, therefore we would of won against Inter over the full 90minutes.
#vanGaalOut #BringBackMoyes #MoyesIn— Joshyy (@UtdJoshyy_) July 30, 2014
Another said: "Rubbish half #VanGaalOut".
A fellow supporter adds: "Ronaldinho is now a free agent. If he's not in a united shirt before the transfer window closes, I'm going to start a #VanGaalOut petition".
Van Gaal has installed a far more impressive and detailed system of analysing his players since taking over.
@manutd #vanGaalOut yet?— MG (@LeonMG) July 30, 2014
I cannot believe Cleverley captained United against Roma, that is literally the funniest thing ive read all week #vangaalout #comehomeMoyes— KINGS (@KINGZURLEY) July 27, 2014
The former Holland coach has ordered his players to speak English to each other, rectangular tables have been replaced by circular ones at meal times to encourage conversation and the 62-year-old has implemented double training sessions to make sure the players are in shape for the start of the season.
New pitches and state-of-the-art cameras have been installed at the club's training ground in Carrington and video analysis has been a key part of the summer tour.

Did you know it is illegal to collect nests, feathers, eggs, and other bird parts from the wild to use in the classroom?
This is because most birds in Minnesota are migratory or protected and fall under the protection of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's "Migratory Bird Treaty Act." To collect these items, you must possess both a State and a Federal Salvage permit.
- State Permit Instructions: Contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) at 651-259-5203 to apply for a Wildlife Salvage Permit. No fee.
- Federal Permit Instructions to download the Special Purpose - Salvage form and mail it in. (There may be a $50 - $100 permit fee.)
Neither the State nor the Federal permit covers the salvage of endangered or threatened species. Check with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the DNR before accepting animal carcasses or parts from other parties. Use this as a "teachable moment" to ensure that wanton collection of wild birds don't threaten the health of important species. Keep your permits in your classroom, and you're covered. If you have questions, contact your local DNR Conservation Officer www.mndnr.gov/enforcement
Collection Tips
(taken from Project Learning Tree PreK-8 Activity Guide)
- Never collect material from an area unless you have permission from the person or organization who owns the land. You may not collect any material form national or state parks.
- Never collect rare or endangered species.
- Never collect a plant if it's the only one growing in a particular area. Instead, collect plants that are growing in groups, or stands.
- Collect only healthy plants. Don't dig up plants that are infested with insects or look sick. Also be sure to wash the leaves, stems, and roots of all the plants you collect before you plant them in your terrarium.
- If collecting specimens for a terrarium, be sure to collect plants that grow in under the same light, temperature, and moisture conditions that are in the terrarium. As you dig up each plant, be sure to collect as many of the plant's roots as you can.
- Use plastic bags to protect the plants you collect. Loosely wrap the plant's roots in a wet paper towel, place it in a small plastic bag, and then trap some air in the bag and seal it.
- If you collect your own soil, be sure to sterilize it before you use it in your terrarium. Just place the soil on a shallow baking pan, bake it at 250 F for two hours, and then let it cool.

We are up and running at Trail Wind!
We filled placed our bird feeders in the outdoor classroom and got them filled on Tuesday! We also added a hummingbird feeder to see if we could draw some hummingbirds in before they migrate. Miss Vicky came on Wednesday, and we learned what special qualities make a bird a bird. She brought a Kestrel, which was a hit with the students. Of course, I forgot to take pictures again, so no uploaded pictures go with this post.
On the second day of school, when I explained how my class gets to participate in the Bird by Bird program, what we get to do, and that we were going on a bird banding field trip, one little girl was literally vibrating with excitement in her chair. So cute! Future birders are being made at Trail Wind. :)

Day 5
Tobi had a rough night, his knee blew up to a solid pumpkin size and wasnt moving at all. It was pretty clear that he was pretty much out for the rest of the trip and could only watch his mates ride.
We wanted to get some street riding done so we followed the advice of our buddy Rob-O and drove to Fullerton again to check out a schoolyard. Fullerton Junior High, aka the banks were pretty well known but surely was offering some cool stuff. It´s one of them typical cali schools with tons of rails, stairs, banks, gaps, etc.
Vans rider Ashley Charles who was spending some time in the US joined us that day so that was pretty cool for sure.
Ash also showed us the banks at Santa Ana Civic Center later that day, a pretty nice spot with tons of banks. The best line was secured by a sharp guard though so we made the best out of it and went for a S&M party close to their warehouse. The did some autumn sale and combined it with a bbq, beers and some riding. We were a bit too late so we missed most of it already but it was still pretty cool. Thanks for the beers guys! Back to Costa Mesa – the jaccuzzi was calling!
Lets see what day 6 will bring!
Ride on!
Day 6
Last night after the hot tub and some more beers Tobi thought it might be a good idea to change his flight back home to an earlier day so he can get his knee checked. Since it was hard enough for him just joing the crew and not being able to ride it was an idea for sure. Especially THE spot for him on this trip was still to come, Riverside and San Diego and he def didnt want to suffer.
So thats what we did and changed his ticket for the next day – this day! His flight was in the afternoon so we still had some time to farewell him at HB beach. Great idea cause we saw some dophins – crazy! Quite an experience. So Tobi took off and the rest of the crew drove 1,5 hours to Riverside to meet up with Heath Pinter and Gary Young at the Paxton trails. Gary came all the way from San Diego together with Hoang Tran and Josh and even later Luke Parslow and TJ Ellis came by so a great session was on!
Paxton´s trails is a pretty tight set up with lots od speed sections and kickers that send you to the moon. It was pretty cool to see Kevin and Ben ride there, even Bruno wasnt bothered to give it try and added dirt as a new terrain he likes to ride. Riding there brakeless is a challenge for sure. Of course Lonnie Paxton´s set up is pretty nuts in general with his garden, pool and the open bar" haha! Thanks Heath and Lonnie!
After it got dark we still wanted to ride so we took the invite of Xavier Mendez back at the S&M party to join him and some others at the new Fontana Skatepark. Fontana is quite in the back country, at least I figured it that way, so we were amazed by that fresh park. It had everything what a great concrete park could possibly offer. A pool with a deep end, smaller bowl, bowl landscape and some cool street plaza stuff too. It was bmx night but not that many riders were there so it was awesome to share that space with just a few cool dudes. Xavier came by with his son, so cool to see a daddy riding with his son. And also the legendary officer Blyther himself was there and joind the session. That was def an awesome night! Funniest moment for me was when local kids recognized Bruno and were totally stoked and asked for autographs but totally ignored guys like Ben Hennon or even Brian Blyther!! Haha, classic.
Day 7, San Diego, here we come.

I love this!
The Wally is just a lovely way of storing kids things or in fact anything
- it looks just great in a kids room but is also just as great in the hallway. It
comes in grey (with white letters) and white (with grey letters). It's a
really good size (132 x 120 cm) , its 100% cotton canvas so washes easily
and is priced well at £130....

Harrisburg Car Accident Lawyers
Attorney experienced with following-too-closely violations
Tailgating is a driving infraction so common that often we fail to even recognize how dangerous it can be. According to the tailgating laws in Pennsylvania, drivers who fail to keep their distance from other vehicles in front of them receive a ticket for tailgating. Tailgating contributes to more than a third of all car accidents. If you suffer injury in an accident caused by someone tailgating, The Moyles Law Firm can help you pursue the fair compensation you deserve for your damages.
What causes tailgating accidents?
For many drivers, tailgating is a byproduct of stress or lateness. A driver is hustling to an appointment or meeting and attempts to compensate for the lateness by riding too closely to the vehicle ahead. For other drivers, it's an aggressive driving tactic. And many drivers simply tailgate as part of their driving habits, totally unaware of the dangers they are inviting by behaving so negligently.
We may understand the reasons behind this behavior, but that does not excuse it. Somebody else's bad habit is not your responsibility, especially if you have endured an injury because of it.
You may be feeling lots of pain, or perhaps you're just feeling a bit sore. But the fact is there are many significant injuries that can result from a tailgating accident that take weeks, if not months, to fully show up. And some of them don't ever go away.
The Benefit of Hiring Pittsburgh Auto Accident Lawyers with Experience
Pittsburgh auto accident lawyers been helping personal injury victims all over Pittsburgh and Harrisburg for more than 30 years. Our job is to make sure negligent drivers are brought to justice and that you are compensated for any and all damages.

Ever eat at Carrabba's Italian Grill and wish you can eat your dinner up on the heavily wooded roof? Well, you can do just that at home if you buy a home in Zephyr Ridge. Ryland Homes has included a rooftop living area in its new Henderson subdivision. Imagine this: the cool night air. Twinkling stars up above, a picture-postcard view of the Las Vegas valley off to the east. You can have dinner parties, slumber parties or enjoy a moment of solitude. I could curl up and read a book and work on no tan lines. What a great idea!
And when July and August hit, you won't mind being cooped up inside. Because these homes are gorgeous and livable. The kitchens easily flow into the great room, so families can share space even when some members are teenagers. And a real chef must have drawn the floor plans because you can actually cook in them, unlike some gourmet kitchens that look like they belong in Architecture Digest but are a pain in the rear to actually use. All the appliances are GE and you can select stainless. The kitchen islands have au courant pendant lighting, adding a frisson of high style.
The masters are a real retreat. Some of them have breakfast bars so you don't have to traipse downstairs for that first cup of java. Some of the models also have a refreshment bar in the upstairs loft area. This is a great idea except it forces you to use the StairMaster at the gym because it's so convenient.
There are five different floor plans in this 88-home subdivision ranging from $321,990 to $381,990. Only one of the models is a one story. There's actually one single-story ready for move in today!

Authorities Wednesday arrested a man in Chicago who is suspected of fatally stabbing a 45-year-old woman in her Gramercy Park apartment, officials said.
Laevin Meikel Weatherspoon, 27, has been charged with murder in the killing of Wanda Threadgill, according to the L.A. County district attorney's office. Threadgill is believed to have been killed Dec. 5.
Threadgill's body was discovered Dec. 17 after her daughter became suspicious because she hadn't heard from her mother in about two weeks. A group went to check on Threadgill and found her dead in the bedroom of her apartment.
Investigators believe that Weatherspoon knew Threadgill and that the two were involved in a dispute that resulted in the killing, according to the district attorney's office.
The Cook County Sheriff's Office and an FBI Fugitive Task Force assisted in the arrest in Chicago.
Threadgill had four children and with four grandchildren, her family said. She spent a portion of her life homeless and was known for her generosity.

Abolish The Luxury Car Tax
If Luxury Car Tax hit only the richest one per cent, we'd be OK with it. But it doesn't. Ordinary car buyers find themselves paying LCT. Cars are the only new product in Australia, with a tax imposed on their alleged luxury. LCT is out of step with reality. It needs to go
Is a tax on luxury cars actually fair? And if it is, at what price should that tax kick in? How do you even define luxury? And, how come cars are the only items in Australia that get taxed on the basis of their purported luxury?
How Much is the Luxury Car Tax?
If you buy a $100,000 car in Australia, you'll pay more that $7500 in Luxury Car Tax. That's on top of about $9000 in GST and about $3000 in stamp duty. And about $1000 to register it. So, all up, the tax burden on that shiny new $100k car is more than 20 per cent of the cost. Do you reckon that's fair?
It's pretty hard to feel sorry for the big end of town. They get more than enough perks, and, frankly, they can afford it. If you wake up tomorrow and you're Kerry Packer's long-lost playboy love-child, you might as well buy yourself a Rolls Royce Ghost (the poverty pack of Rollers). It'll cost you $600,000 or $650,000 - if you have to ask... And if you do that, the luxury car tax on that Ghost will haunt you to the staggering tune of $136,000. That's enough to buy a fairly nice car in its own right. So, let's not cry ourselves to sleep over anyone who can afford a Rolls Royce.
Who Does Luxury Car Tax Affect?
But Luxury Car Tax doesn't just affect the buyers of Rollers and SLS Benzes. It's not just for Audi R8s, Lamborghinis, 911 Porsches and Ferraris. Luxury Car Tax actually slugs the buyers of Nissans, Jeeps, Volkswagens - and Toyotas. In fact, Toyota buyers pay more Luxury Car Tax than customers from any other brand - mainly thanks to Toyota's hefty market share, and the Government's insanely low Luxury Car Tax threshold. In total, something like 15 Toyotas are subject to Luxury Car Tax. It's certainly not because Toyotas are inherently luxurious.
If Luxury Car Tax was just headhunting society's uber-rich, nobody would really care. (Except of course the uber-rich.) Any world-dominating CEO polishing the leather in his S-Class with his bespoke Saville Row-clad arse can sob all he likes about the cost of everything, for all I care. But Luxury Car Tax kicks in at an absurdly low level: just under $62,000. And you pay 33 per cent on every dollar over that limit - the former Labour Government raised it to 33 per cent, up from 25, back in 2008. The revenue Luxury Car Tax generates is currently about half a billion dollars.
I don't know about you, but in my mind, $62k doesn't exactly buy you a corner penthouse suite at luxury car central. You don't even get into the car park for that, really. According to Google, which knows everything, luxury is actually defined as (quote): a state of great comfort or elegance, especially when involving great expense. That's a reasonable definition. But a car for $62,000 - great comfort and elegance; great expense - surely we're not quite there yet. If there's a line in the sand marked 'luxury', you can't even see it from $62 grand.
An Unlikely Luxury 'Car'
A 200-Series Toyota LandCruiser GXL is a luxury car - at least it is, according to the Federal Government. It's $91,000, drive away. You don't get leather, or heated seats. It's a truck with hair and makeup and a nice frock. Not exactly a limousine. Heads certainly don't turn when you drive past in a GXL LandCruiser. Nobody says: Is that Leonardo DiCaprio? A Toyota Tarago Ultima is also - allegedly - a luxury car. I'm tipping Angelina Jolie doesn't ride in one. So is a Nissan Pathfinder, and a Volkswagen Multivan. (Those luxury people movers…) Reasonably nice vehicles, but not for Robert Downey Jnr or Scarlet Johansson. Not exactly the four-wheeled encapsulation of Google's 'state of great elegance, especially involving great expense'. Not even close.
Why Only Cars?
Statistically, the average Aussie car is a nine-year-old Holden Commodore - and compared with that, I guess just about any new car is a luxury. But when you consider only new cars, your average new car is probably a $30,000 spend. That'll get you into a nice Mazda3 or a Hyundai i30 SR. Something like that. If you double that spend, you're at the official Luxury Car Tax threshold - but you're hardly luxuriating, are you? If you use the same logic, the average wristwatch is probably something like a $200 Casio G-Shock. So why don't we put a tax on luxury watches - say, 33 per cent on top of all watches costing more than $400. (I know: Because that would be absurd.) Your average smartphone is probably a $500 Samsung. How would you feel about paying a luxury phone tax on your 64Gb iPhone 5S?
There's no luxury tax on watches or handbags, or jewellry, or yachts. You can fill your house with Penfolds Grange, bathe in it if you like, just for the resvaretrol, without paying a cent in luxury tax. Antiques are also 100 per cent luxury tax-free. But if you need to buy yourself a LandCruiser GXL to tow the trailer with the bath full of Grange ready to rip, you'll be stumping up almost $6000 in Luxury Car Tax for the privilege. It doesn't seem equitable.
In fact, it's outrageous that cars are singled out for a luxury tax. And the threshold where that Luxury Car Tax kicks in is a joke. We're taxing Taragos based on their purported luxury, and not the buyers of Tiffany cufflinks, Hublot Big Bang watches, Jimmy Choo shoes, Burken handbags, and anything from Yves St Laurent. We're doing it because the Australian motorist is a kind of golden goose. And those 24-Carat eggs just keep on coming.
The 911 Porsche, $100k Tax Proposition
Frankly, I have to dig very deep to whip up measurable sympathy for anyone who has almost $300,000 to spend on a car. But let's say you get lucky and hit the big time. You work really hard, it pays off, and you're successful.You've always wanted a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Who hasn't? It's $282,000 drive-away, here in Australia. But the exact same car in Great Britain - it's even got the steering wheel on the same side - is $160,000. Australian dollars. 88,400 pounds Sterling. And that price includes the British Government's 20 per cent value-added tax - the VAT. The exact same mid-range smokin' hot Porsche is $120,000 cheaper in England.
The Tax burden on the Australian 911 buyer is extreme - almost $50 grand in luxury car tax, about $8000 in import duty, about $26,000 in GST and $13,000 in stamp duty. It's nearly $100,000 in tax. Or you could just buy yourself a $60,000 car and dump the rest on luxury items that aren't subject to a luxury tax, or stamp duty, and you'd boost your buying power by about $60,000. It's a disincentive to buy a nice car. So if luxury tax is applied only to cars, it's positively anti-competitive in the upmarket retail space.
The Dark Side of Luxury Car Tax
Luxury Car Tax systematically incentivises carmakers to strip equipment away from their cars to squeeze in under the LCT threshold. Some of that stripped stuff is life-saving safety equipment. If the Federal Government had even half an idea about vehicles, any luxury car tax would not kick in until $200,000. Great comfort or elegance; et cetera. Two-hundred grand is pretty much the sweet spot for real luxury. They could leave the threshold for business tax deductibility at $60-something-thousand for cars - that's fair. But they absolutely must to drop the Luxury Car Tax rate - and start taxing luxury across the board - not just cars. And that's only if we decide luxury is an appropriate commodity to tax. I thought the consumption-based GST was supposed to level the tax field here anyway.
They should scrap luxury tax altogether - there's an idea. Or maybe drop all these BS taxes - like stamp duty and fuel excise - and impose a 20 per cent GST across the board - like they have in the UK.

Another Illustration Friday post, it's quite a good challenge even when I miss the deadline but not this week! ;p
Somehow I started with objects and kiddies with toilet paper playing in a garden but ended with the beastie that is the Zombie Banker, out moaning about his need for, you guessed it, "Pounds, more pounds!!"
I love zombie films and who could resist Zombie bankers. So many of my characters seem to end up in smart suits so it was only logical. This creatures of the undead even has a hanky to remind him of his pre-zombie existence!
Very much enjoying the calligraphy pen, paint brush, water coloured paper and the odd bit of acrylic! The pen makes such great scratchy noises on watercolour paper.

We live in a world where almost everyone is busy being, well, busy. It becomes easy, then, to not spare much of a thought for those who don't have any impact on our busy – I mean – business.
So, allow me to blow your 'busy bubble'. Or at least suggest two things that might. Stick with me.
On World Kindness Day 2017
On this year's World Kindness Day, I'd like to challenge you to go beyond just being good, nice, kind to those around you. The best part? You can do so in ways that will also allow you to be good to you. Let me explain in the examples below.
This one's self-explanatory, isn't it?😃Volunteering has helped me in unexpected ways. I'll be honest, when I started volunteering back in high school, it was a way for me to not only help with a big community project, but to hang out with friends outside of the classroom. Fast-forward several years out, I still enjoy it knowing that I am lending in some small way to a bigger purpose. What's more, I literally find that I feel so much more relaxed and 'zen' after a day of volunteer activity. Volunteering takes your mind off pesky to-do lists; when you do get back to them, the mind is much clearer. #WorldKindnessDay Click To Tweet
Suggestion: If you're feeling overwhelmed by your school schedule or work is worrying, give things a break for a day and volunteer your neighbourhood or your town.
De-Cluttering/Clearing Up Your Space
Have you joined the minimalism bandwagon yet? Confession: this is one trend I rolled my eyes at at first; I thought it was another ploy to get me to spend more money to attain a certain bedroom aesthetic (that everyone else on the internet also had).
One thing that did catch my eye with all the minimalist home looks was how much less chaotic and cluttered the spaces look. That was something I couldn't roll my eyes at but wanted more of.
How does the minimalism trend help others?
Well, it really starts with the journey toward minimalism; a big part of it involves clearing your physical space, but what if I told you physically clearing up does several things:
- De-cluttering helps you to prioritize what's important and what isn't – because you have to make decisions on what stays and what goes.
- De-cluttering helps you to rely on less.
- De-cluttering helps you to pass items on to persons who may need them more than you do. Whether it's donating your lightly used or unused items to a charity shop, a homeless shelter or a disaster-relief drive.
It's a win-win in my book, and if you try either of these acts of kindness, you'll find the same, I'm sure. If & when you do, come back and share with me below how you felt after you carried out these acts of kindness. I'd love to hear from you!
Oh, and happy World Kindness Day! Remember:

The Prayer Chain–An Exciting Ministry!
Here's how a real asset began in
one congregation several years ago.
Are you looking for a way to be involved in a ministry in your congregation? Here is your chance to do something for the Lord and your church. You don't need any special talents or a lot of time. You won't be required to teach or prepare a lesson. You need not attend special meetings. All you need to be able to do is pray–and we can all do that.
What is a prayer chain?
A prayer chain is a specific type of prayer ministry. It consists of a group of people willing to take time to pray when the chain is "activated."
How does it work?
Members are organized into a prearranged order. When someone calls a. member of the chain with a prayer need, that member prays and then calls the next member on the list. The second member then prays and notifies the next member. This continues until the entire chai has been activated. Each member prays continually until the need has been met. It is also possible that members of the chain will pray together on the phone regarding the need as the calls are made.
How much time will it require?
Committing to a prayer chain requires very little time. It requires an initial meeting to get organized. It requires you to make at least one and possibly a few phone calls to other chain members. It also requires you to pray as you continue with your normal activities. It does not require going to meetings, you merely pray for the need when called and then as the day progresses: at meals with your family, in your daily devotional time, as you are driving in your car, etc.
What is the purpose?
The purpose of a prayer chain is to give each member of the congregation an immediate access to the prayers and support of the members of the chain. For example, when I was in the hospital having Ellen, I had a lot of fear. I wanted prayer and I wanted as much of it as I could get. I called a good friend of mine in Berea and asked her to pray. She called her prayer chain that has about 20 members. I immediately had 20 people praying for me and Ellen. I could feel the support and it was a great comfort to me to know those people were praying. When the baby was safely delivered I called my friend again and she notified the chain. We now had 20 people giving praise to the Lord for His answers.
Why should we have a prayer chain?
Although a prayer chain of this form is not specifically mentioned in scripture, I believe it provides a way to fulfill Christian duties that are mentioned. We are to "… pray for one another," James 5:16; "bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ," Galations 6:2; "pray without ceasing," I Thes. 5:17. These are only a few of the many verses with similar instructions. A prayer chain offers one opportunity to carry out these commands.
How can you get involved in a prayer chain ministry?
I would like to get a prayer chain started for our Portland congregation. Please pray even now about the Lord's will regarding this type of ministry and about any role you might play in it. I will be checking back with you to see if you would like to be involved. Of course, if you know you are interested you can let me know right away. (Note: Becky included a form for each one to fill out if they desired to be a part of this ministry).
[This article was originally typed up in brochure form by Becky, and distributed to the ladies at Portland Church. In a few weeks the chain began, and it has been a great blessing ever since, Sometimes weeks go by without a call; other weeks the chain may be activated three or four times. But knowing the chain is in place is in itself a source of comfort. Of course men as well as women can join such chains. But obviously the members should not, as a general rule, be called while at work in an office, etc. You could easily form a prayer-chain in your church, even with only a few. -The Editor]

My personal take would be that CSS3 should try to leverage / learn from the number of existing layout solutions that are already deployed instead of trying to invent something from scratch. I've been forced to use 3 or 4 in the course of my career. (The first was the PenPoint layout manager from Go in 1991.) The latest I've seen is the layout manager for SWT which looks like it may offer a pretty good starting point today. [1] Many of the concepts in the CSS box model correspond directly to elements of other layout systems (for example the row and grid layouts in SWT). This should make the task fairly tractable once the WG decides to try and separate the notion of layout from style.

Kendra Tillman wants you to know you are stronger than you think. Yes you mama, with the work to be done at home and in the office. With dinner to be made and bills to be paid. She sees women doing the calling God has put in front of them and she is their cheerleader.
A mom of three herself, Kendra recently took a huge leap and quit her full-time job to pursue her dream of being a full-time entrepreneur. She made this move before it made sense on paper. But her husband was supportive and the change hasn't looked exactly as she thought it would, but that's what a step of faith is, one where the results aren't guaranteed.
In this episode we hear some about this recent decision, her annual event she puts on for women and teen girls in the Phoenix area titled, you guessed it, You Are Stronger Than You Think, and starting a local chapter of Black Girls Run. In our discussion on StrengthsFinder as a tool to know yourself and others better, we discover that all three of us, Krista, Alex and Kendra, share a top strength: Belief. Which explains a lot about Kendra's decision to take a risk in order to live as she believes God is calling her.
A woman of courage and tenacity you won't want to miss this episode with Kendra Tillman.
You can listen to Episode #17 on iTunes here.
Catch up with Kendra on her site and on Instagram.
Here are a few things you will hear Kendra mention on our show:
You Are Stronger Than You Think women's event and book
I Am They, No Longer Slaves
What Kendra's watching on Netflix: Quantico, The Walking Dead, and Stranger Things
Kendra's favorite podcasts these days: Dave Ramsey Entre Leadership, The Girlfriends, and Christy Wright's Business Boutique. One that she didn't mention in the interview, but would love to highlight here is Crystal Hurst's podcast

Designed for door openings up to 10'0″W x 10'0″H, the Series 0701 allows complete and unobstructed access to the full width (8′ and 8'6″) and height of the trailer interior and shipping door while providing outstanding weather protection.
The trailers back through the vertical pads forming a wiper seal that hugs the trailer's sides with an adjustable split header curtain that sits on top of the trailer unit, thus allowing full access to the height of the trailer.
The resilient vertical foam pads, covered with a large selection of tough abrasion resistant fabrics, create a tight seal that blocks out foul weather, insects, dust, dirt and may reduce pilferaging, while saving money on energy costs. Dock seals help productivity by increasing safety, protecting personnel, products, and equipment.
