They're perfect for eachother. They are both so very orange.
I actually posted about this because it occured in my hometown. It was promotion for the Gymnastics and Skating Spectacular that will take place in the Allen Even center in Allen TX on October 3.
My post is here. In that post is a small review, pictures, and two links from Allen ISD... he spoke at two elementary schools in the Allen area. He also spoke at some middle schools in McKinney area.
Videos and Pictures I took... Please do not reproduce.

For the orange golden couple!
Thanks for the reports and pics!
Unless my eyes deceive me, that is one killer Goyard bag between them.
They are certainly very attractive
From all the orange talk, I feared they'd look like a pair of oompa loompa, but I like their tan.
Well, she already has the spiral down!
Wasn't it Kerri Strugg who was also a skater (recreationally, but very good), or was able to switch after her competitive gymnastics career was over? Or am I imagining this?
"Once you've skated together long enough, and you're really good friends, you can close your eyes, put your hand out and she's right there." Joe Dolkiewicz, 2011 US Novice Pairs Bronze Medalist
I remember seeing an inside edition clip with Shannon Miller taking skating lessons. She was doing some small jumps, and remarked that it was wierd to keep her knees soft after a lifetime of keeping her lets totally extended.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
nice spiral!
LOL Well you know what they say, some people see red when they're angry, green when they're envious and orange when they're bitter.
I love you, Johnny. I wish you were World and Olympic champion as well, and I still don't know what happened with Evan's twitter and how I'd feel about him if he *was* directly involved, but I won't stoop to childish name calling on message boards and blogs to defend you. You can and will do that on your own because you are a grown man.
And more so, TwitterGate2010 is such old news! LOL
And I'm sure once the denial phase wears off, Plushenco will accept that he was soundly beating in Vancouver, banned (still can't believe it...what a way to end an amateur career. smh) from future ISU competitions, and move on with his life. So why would anyone waste time being bitter about that? LOL
Goodnight, everykwan.thank you, thank you....you've been a wonderful audience.
Interview by Nastia Liukin (turn your volume up)
Evan and Nastia skating together
Evan stopped by a radio station, you can hear his interview
Bigger pic from the radio station
Good Morning Texas segment
Rounded all of this up from the Evan forum
LadySpartacus, what does this have anything to do with Johnny and Plushenko?
They are probably just friends. Nastya has really blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
But she's only hitting the position while she's been dragged around. And that position she can hit on drugs, at 30 below zero.
I think any gymnast would be surprisingly good on skates if she gave it a serious try. It's their training. Gymnasts are incredibly stronger and more flexible than skaters.
Usually, when a gymnast kid quits and turns to ice skating, in the first couple of years she catches up with the girls of her same age, which have been skating longer. Coaches and parents start considering the kid a natural and they get frustrated when progresses slow down. Which happens because eventually the kid loses the gymnastic fitness.

Many people believe that, by nature, there is divinity inherent in femininity, which makes it superior to manhood.
I like this perception, it equates to my dominant way, from which point of view the man is always inferior to the woman. To me, a female slave can also be more valuable than her master…
But this is the femdom point of view…
I do know that all my dominance is not good for anything, if my counterpart doesn't want to recognize and embrace it. What is a diva without admirers, a mistress without servants, a despotic ruler without slaves or a sadist without a masochist – nothing.
I am aware of that. It's the same with a slave who isn't really a slave without a strict mistress and there can be no victim without a culprit… as much as all those are opposed to their corresponding counterparts, as much do they need and require each other to exist.
However, in real life, the most important thing to me is the human being itself and mutual respect.
Respect means that you accept the way, how a man/woman is. As much as I do not want you to try to be something you are not, as much am I not willing to bend over backwards to become something, someone wants to see me as, but which I really am not.
I don't want to be the person who perfectly makes wishes come true for everybody, but to remain true to myself and do only what I really want to do. Even I am not the same every day…
In addition to that, I do not want others to have to change for me: I neither expect a pure masochist to submissively kneel in front of me, nor expect a pure submissive person to endure senseless severe pain… but I do not want to make generalizations, because actually I am against all those classifications in categories. But here, they help to expose my priorities even though I am strictly against stereotyped thinking.
Every human being is an individual, not only you, but also me.
In my opinion, BD/DS/SM exists in so many different forms and varieties as there are human beings on this planet, each with his or her own fantasies, dreams and ideas, affected by ones own individual story of life. And also the interaction between two human beings is always different. I think every single one of them is a unique one. What may be a pleasure with the one person, with another person it might be something I cannot even imagine doing it…
This is also why I never plan sessions in advance. I'm always excited how things will develop, if you respond to and adapt to the situation and counterpart.
I am interested in the pure human being – which remains if you take away his normal clothing, status symbols and rights for some time – when squirming due to the pain or laying in the dirt, humiliated to the bones. Who devotes himself to me, let go of everything until the only thing left for him is to be, feel or maybe even fly…
Not all humans get along with each other.
But if there are similar expectations, affinities, a certain sympathy and the ability to communicate, it may become real – the possibility of little journeys into the realm on the other side, in which parts of our dark side could become reality … - the possibility to open the door to another sphere for a while…
To take you captive and take you with me, be it into the kingdom of women, where the only thing paid homage to is femininity, or into jail, boot camp, to an interrogation, detention, into a mortuary, shambles, etc. – there are so many stories and ideas on my mind…
but I will not tell all of them here and now ;)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Puppet Dude My New Favorite Pants I am a performer (a puppeteer) in SF who is going from amateur to "pro". My producer has been breathing down my neck to get clothes that A) Fit well B) Aren't jeans C) Weren't found the morning after a party in a pile of clothes and D) Aren't and WON'T be covered with paint, glue, glitter and felt. I hate shopping and I thought I hated looking "good" until I found the OP Online Store. I guess Munsingwear really evolved into a keen brand! These Carchy pants in particular are amazing. They're just so...me. They fit great, the color and stripes make them look good with a loose t shirt and blazer or a tucked in button down with wing tips (I picked up the linen ones, as seen in the pic, from here also) or just a sweater and simple brown shoes. I really dig these pants. They wrinkle a little quick, but then, I'm a pretty hyper guy. I may order a 2nd pair, just to make sure I've got a set to sport about in and a set to muck around in. As an extra bonus - they really make my package look good. In general, your clothes are terrific. I feel like I'm meeting the requirements of dealing with the corpo-artists I come into contact with; but still not looking like a total shill...and that's pretty awesome. Thanks, OP! PS: In defiance of my producer, I still bought a pair of your Rockabilly Jeans. No one keeps me down, baby! June 26, 2012

There have been many of these discussions in the past, and to me the constant theme is US skating fans project their own issues with the sport onto the general US public, and think that explains decline in skating popularity. Casual fans don't care about judging protocols--they really don't. When a casual viewer tunes in to watch Olympic diving, they aren't fretting over the judging system--they're just enjoying being entertained. Ditto with gymnastics, aerial jumping, etc. If the announcers bring up judging controversies, that's the first most viewers will have heard about it, and they'll only be interested in it as far as it relates to the human drama angle.
Similarly, casual viewers aren't refusing to watch skating because it's not a "real sport." People are assuming if only skating was shown more in the US, then people would watch it. What they aren't contemplating is skating *has* been shown in the US, and ratings steadily declined. The reason it's not shown so much anymore is because people aren't watching. Why? Because people simply are more interested in other things.
It reminds me of the political climate a few months ago where conservatives couldn't envision that anyone would actually want to willingly vote for Obama. So it had to be the case that polls were wrong, votes were bought, the media was brainwashing people, etc. But the reality was quite a bit simpler--more people liked Obama better. Similarly, there isn't some grand marketing problem with figure skating that could be remedied with competent people in charge at the ISU. And there isn't some harboring resentment of IJS or anything else. It's simply that people find other sports and television programming more interesting. The whole point of reality tv is to show live human drama, and viewers tend to eat that up. With Harding/Kerrigan, you had live human drama, so people ate that up.
Now, there isn't that external live human drama piece, so viewers are tuning in because they just want to watch skating. And there's never been all that many of such folk relative to the general population. There are so many options for people WRT sports, skating has to compete with crew, dressage, moguls, archery, rhythmic gymnastics, women's basketball, etc. Skating is a niche sport with a niche fanbase in the US, and always has been. People generally enjoy it when they see it at the Olympics, but they aren't going to go out of their way to view it anymore than they'll plan their schedule around the next speed skating comp.

|Catherine Jorgenson, 90
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Catherine Jorgenson, 90, died on Sunday, December 19, 2004 at the Northwest Medical Center in Thief River Falls.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9 a.m. on Thursday, December 23, at the St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Thief River Falls, with Father Tim McGee officiating.

Catherine Radniecki was born on November 24, 1914 to John Leon and Emma (Vattendahl) Radniecki in Deer Park Township, Pennington County.
She attended country school until the 8th grade and then went onto to graduate from Lincoln High School in Thief River Falls in 1932. She then attended cosmetology school in Chicago, Ill. She worked as a hairdresser in Provo, Utah for a while and then had her own shop in Oklee.
She was united in marriage to Willard "Bill" Paul Jensen on July 20, 1942. They made their home all over the world including Minnesota, South Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, and South America. Bill died in an accident in South America in February of 1963. Catherine moved back to Minnesota to be closer to her family and continued raising her children. She settled in Thief River Falls in June of 1963. Catherine worked as a nurses aide at the hospital in Thief River Falls for a short time, then as a secretary for Sam Genereux Insurance, part owner and bookkeeper of the Radniecki & Jensen Construction Company, and as a home health aide for the Inter County Nursing Service.
She was united in marriage to Roy Albert Jorgenson on November 22, 1969 at St. Bernard's Catholic Church. The couple made their home in Thief River Falls, and then lived in Oklee, and back to Thief River Falls for the past 12 years.
Catherine was active in many things: including President of the District 9 VFW Auxiliary, President of the VFW Post 2703 Auxiliary in Thief River Falls; Local President of the D.O.E.S; a 40-year member of American Legion Auxiliary of Thief River Falls; and the president of the International War Veterans Auxiliary. This service group lead to much travel which she enjoyed with her husband Roy, including Washington D.C., Philadelphia, South Carolina, and Canada.
Catherine had a great love for her daughters and grandchildren. She was an excellent cook, who enjoyed baking fresh buns, breads, and Christmas treats until the freezer was full. She enjoyed sewing, making Cabbage Patch dolls for her grandchildren, and special Christmas ornaments. She also enjoyed her friends and aerobic times at the Heritage Center.
She taught Catechism for many years, and also was an avid Minnesota Twins and Vikings fan. She and Roy enjoyed old time dancing and many years of antiquing together.
Catherine is survived by her husband Roy of Thief River Falls; five daughters, Kathy (Don) Graef of Elverson, Pa., Cheri Jensen of St. Paul, Judy (Ron) Lindberg of Thief River Falls, Mary (Dean) Otto of Mankato, Wendy (Jeff) Ryan of St. Paul; 10 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; four brothers, Casmir "Cobb" Radniecki of Oklee, Virgil (Therese) Radniecki of Oklee, Roman (Elaine) Radniecki of Oklee, Dick (LaVonne) Radniecki of Mesa, Ariz.; one sister-in-law, Alice Bergeron of Owatonna; brothers-in-law, Alvin (Bonnie) Jensen of Oklee; and Roy's brothers, Kenneth, Albert, Wesley, Milton, Einar, Morris, Ralph, and Lyle Jorgenson.

QUODL - Quality of Online & Distance Education: The rules of e-Learning: Don't keep your learners in the dark
Alfredo Corell's insight:
There is a very great temptation to keeping things away from the learner, 'until they are ready for it'. As online teachers it is our job to break the learning up into units that the learner can address in their own time and so we naturally analyse the learning in terms of its difficulty, hoping to lead the learner along the path of increasing knowledge.

Rubrics are an extremely useful classroom evaluation tool, though many teachers these days aren't using them anymore, and don't think they are necessary. The lovely graphic below from Mia MacMeekin takes a look at rubrics and why they should be used and what they can improve, along with a little guide for teachers on rubrics. …
Alfredo Corell's insight:
What is a rubric, and why should I use it?
Rubrics are scoring charts that display what is expected of a student on a particular assignment. The students can use the rubric when working on their assignment to ensure they know what is expected and can aim to meet those expectations, and teachers can use them when grading the assignment to ensure they are grading fairly and evaluating each assignment evently.

Why Resistance?
If you're an educator, let us take you back to your early days when you were a student. Learning in schools was about daily lectures on various subjects and topics; and students using their textbooks as their only source of knowledge. You had no Google or any social media website like Youtube, Twitter, Wikipedia etc to help if you didn't understand a lesson given by the class teacher. The only alternate to a school teacher was home tutions but that used to take away precious hours from the time that we could've put in the things we truly loved, such as playing football, music, dancing and doing things that every kid or teenager wants to do in this age.

Content curation is sorting through a large amount of web content to find the best, most meaningful bits and presenting these in an organized, valuable way.
As I move in to a role where I will be working with other colleagues on a more formal basis when it comes to e-learning, I have been reflecting upon different Apps.

A Star Cutout for the Star at Your Event
The foil star is the perfect addition to any party. These stars make great party decorations for awards nights, team banquets, holiday parties and more.
Make sure that there is a star for every guest! These star decorations are a great addition to your next party or event.
Cheaply Made -
Cindy, Syracuse
We hung these stars from the ceiling at our anniversary party at work. While I agree with the other reviewer that they were silver on both sides, please be aware that others I looked at, at various stores, were also. These are very cheaply made and the thin layer of silver foil on both sides was falling off. We also bought the larger sizes and they were of much better quality.
Star Cutouts -
diamond, Rochester NY
These are great! They're not like others you'll find online with foil only on one side. These are completely foiled and will be awesome hung for my daughters sweet 16 party. Fast shipping too! Only took 2 business days to receive them. Excellent service.

Matt, 36 years old, has enjoyed working and teaching as a professional musician for at least 15 years. He began studying music and playing the saxophone at age 11. He currently lives and works in the New York City area after moving there from Philadelphia in early 2001, after graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 1999 with a Bachelors in Music.
Throughout his musical career, Matt has performed and worked in a variety of capacities including as a composer and recording studio engineer. His main area of expertise is performing as a jazz saxophonist on alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones, and he regularly plays throughout New York City in restaurants and jazz clubs.
Matt's area of expertise in teaching is beginner to advanced studies on the saxophone, beginner to intermediate studies on the flute and the clarinet, music theory, and jazz improvisation for any instrument. Whether he is teaching saxophone, flute, or clarinet, his teaching approach places emphasis on giving the student an in depth understanding of his or her instrument. He puts the utmost importance on explaining advanced concepts in the simplest of terms in order to insure that the student fully comprehends the objectives of each lesson. Such concepts that he covers regularly and places importance on are sight-reading, ear-training, and creativity.
As a regularly performing musician in New York City, Matt can be seen every Sunday night from 7 pm to 10 pm at Ba'sik (a new and very popular bar in Williamsburg Brooklyn, just off of the Graham ave stop on the L train) where he leads the open jazz jam session. A few of his adult students have even been able to reach a level in jazz improvisation that they've been able to come out and sit in with the band.
In addition to teaching woodwind instruments and jazz improvisation, Matt also has experience teaching Sibelius music writing software, and audio engineering with Pro-tools LE and Logic Pro.
PLEASE NOTE: Because the NYC area is very different geographically from other parts of the country, especially in terms of transportation, I may appear outside of your area in terms of where I am available to travel. If you are very interested in taking lessons with me, but you are outside of my travel zone, please feel free to follow up with a Takelessons counselor and have them contact me personally to see if we might make an exception. I am available to travel to virtually all areas of Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan as well as Jersey City and Hoboken. if my location in Williamsburg Brooklyn is not convenient for you, and you are unable to have lessons in your home, then there is also an option where I can most likely find a very affordable teaching studio in an area that is more convenient for you that we may rent by the hour and split the cost for your lesson.
*** Lesson Details ***
Matt believes that any student, regardless of age or experience level, learns best when engaged in an activity that he or she understands and enjoys. Part of his success as a teacher can be attributed to his willingness to take into account every student's particular musical interests and strengths, and in tern, he teaches directly to those areas. For instance, in the initial stages of developing a student and teacher relationship, Matt requests that the student compile a "wish list" of approximately ten pieces of music that he or she would like to be able to play. This list may include pieces in such genres as classical, jazz, and popular music, just to name a few. It is through this list that the student can begin almost immediately learning exactly what he or she likes, and by default, Matt can then teach the student all of the technical components needed to perform on his or her instrument, as well as determine the specific areas where the student needs to receive more focused instruction. More importantly, this "thinking outside of the box," customized approach provides a fun atmosphere and enables the student to enjoy learning the art of playing music by not being solely dependent on instructional booklets which many students, regardless of age and experience, find boring and tedious.

I have been teaching guitar, drums, and piano for about eight years to students of all ages. Music is what I'm passionate about and it's what I enjoy. I want to inspire that same passion into the hearts and minds of others.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a laid-back teacher, fun, and I focus on the needs, abilities, and ambitions of the student. In turn, students must realize that learning an instrument takes a lot of work and dedication. One can't expect to learn very much if s/he only practices or thinks about the instrument during the lesson. If the student is willing to put some time into practicing, then I will help them go far.

I hold a Masters of Music Studies degree in Contemporary Vocal Pedagogy, a Graduate Diploma in Music Studies (performance/pedagogy/theory) & a Bachelor of Music (jazz voice). I have taught at private colleges, music studios & established a successful private studio. I am a member of the New York Singing Teachers Association.
I have over a decade of extensive experience singing and performing for a range of audiences in the contemporary music genre. I have a range of industry experience performing in intimate settings such as jazz clubs, cafes and restaurants and in large venues such as theatrical productions, music festivals and corporate events. I am a consummate vocalist, guitarist and songwriter; and especially connect with Jazz, Musical Theatre and Easy Listening Pop/Rock material. I have a wealth of experience as a soloist but have also worked in duos, combos, choirs, bands, orchestras and big bands. I have performed on stage with finalists from TVs The Voice, Idol and The X Factor. I am an experienced music/vocal director, with music direction credits including Songs for a new world Camp Rock, Godspell, Spelling Bee, Guys and Dolls and Cinderella amongst others. I have presented workshops, lectures and master classes at festivals, churches, seminars, music schools and camps in the USA and Australia. I have continued to study under some of the worlds leading pedagogues and musicians including Christian McBride, Lionel Loueke, Dr. Joan Melton, Neil Semer, Jeannette LoVetri, Ann Peckham, Dr. Stephen Newcomb, Adele Nisbet and Dr. Irene Bartlett.
*** Lesson Details ***
Student focused learning is at the center of my teaching philosophy. At the beginning of the first lesson I want to find out the students musical goals, interests and motivation. I aim to meet the student where they are at, and find fun and engaging ways to teach them more about singing and music. After a few months of lessons students can expect to have further understanding of how the voice works (voice students), music theory, performance methods, technique and stylistic tools in their given genre. Students can also expect to have fun, my hope for students leave their lessons each week feeling uplifted, happy and confident.
In my experience, students benefit by learning from many different experiences that address their multiple intelligence e.g. logical, visual, musical, kinesthetic, verbal etc. When teaching I aim to connect skills being learnt with the context of performance while teaching to the students preference learning style.
Trust between my students and I provide the container for the learning process. As a teacher I believe it is my role to facilitate and engage in a reciprocal relationship that inspires the student to learn. My teaching approach is characterized by qualities of love and commitment to singing and music. I love sharing my passion, experiences and knowledge so that students may benefit and share the joy of music. I am flexible and laid back in my approach, while ensuring that each lesson is productive.
It is integral to the learning process to work incrementally, introducing new material skillfully and in achievable portions. This provides maximum opportunity for the student to have as many successes as possible during the lesson. I have found this way of working leaves the student feeling as if each task is achievable. As the teacher I maintain both long and short term goals with my students. In order to reach these desired goals it is important to see the bigger picture while working incrementally week to week.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I provide my laptop with any necessary backing tracks, music stand and recording software. I expect students to provide their own instrument and music.

Face Paints to Finish the Halloween Costume
Add the final touch to any costume by painting your face to match. No clown outfit would be complete without some costume makeup, and no carnival would be complete without a face painting booth. Plus, use the solid colors to support your team! Paint your face for any time event like football, basketball, soccer or volleyball games.
We have the Halloween costume makeup that you need, everything to help you add the finishing touches to your perfect Halloween costume. Whether a single color or a variety pack, we have the colors you need to make your costume unforgettable!
Put on a happy face...Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! -
Joker, mi
The information you requested... This red cream makeup is perfect for when you want to go out for Halloween as The Joker or anything that requires some red makeup, such as a clown. I dress up as the Jack Nicholson Joker (purple gambler hat and all), so I use this red cream makeup around my mouth, but I prefer and use the Cesar Romero pattern as far as the mouth makeup goes. I apply it with a Q-Tip very carefully, and apply it in one take, because if you're not careful, you can smear it and it will turn orange when it blends in with your white face makeup. I don't mind walking around with a faint red smile on my face for a day. Put on a happy face! Use this makeup. And.......................Happy Halloween.

Don't settle for the tunnel vision of ordinary goggles. When we engineered Canopy, we expanded the lens volume and created a low-profile frame design. That means you'll enjoy a wide-open view with maximized peripheral and downward vision. The razor-sharp optics take advantage of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of all UV, and with the combination of dual vented lens architecture and F3 anti-fog coating, you'll have superior protection against the threat of fog‑ups.
Our O-Flow Arch technology makes the simple act of breathing a lot easier. For even more comfort, the face foam is a triple layer with moisture-wicking fleece, and the O Matter™ chassis stays flexible in bone-chilling weather while the strap anchor plates distribute pressure evenly. The wide, adjustable strap has silicone lining to stay securely in place.
Canopy is designed for improved compatibility with helmets and most prescription eyewear frames. As far as protection goes, this Oakley goggle meets the impact resistance standards of ANSI Z87.1 and EN 174:2001.
Included: Microclear™ bag for storage and lens cleaning
Also available in: Asian Fit

And whether this heir status is simply detached from a side after changing sides... no clues there yet.
Mm-hmm, I'm claiming those things. Yep again, he doesn't know what would happen. Reason being, a Side being destroyed while their heir is part of the Side destroying them isn't something that happens very often. Which means the result of such a scenario is up in the air.
Okay, now I'm very hesitant to ascribe this to you literally, but when I read this, it comes out as, "We don't know whether the rules are A or B, so they're clearly A." Would you like to try communicating again? Somewhere between your brain and mine (inclusive on both sides), something important got lost.

Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs) – What's Next?
In August 2011, the Seventh Circuit court vacated the EOBR 395.16 rulemaking based on a determination that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) had not adequately addressed the potential for driver harassment with the new guidelines. FMCSA later indicated that it would redo the EOBR rulemaking and not appeal the judge's decision. Since FMCSA's proposed EOBR mandate rulemaking depended on the 395.16 rule for technical guidelines, it appears that the mandate will also be delayed. So what is next, and when?

NASA: Commercial Crew Program On Track
January 9, 2013 | WMFE- NASA says its commercial crew program is on course to launch astronauts into low earth orbit by 2017. The agency along with representatives of private space companies updated reporters Wednesday on the progress of the commercial crew program.
NASA selected SpaceX, Boeing and Sierra Nevada last year to receive millions of dollars in funding and advance to the next round in its commercial crew competition.
The space ventures must also ensure their proposed spacecraft meet agency safety standards.
NASA commercial crew program manager Ed Mango says he thinks there will be strong competition for the next phase of contracts in 2014.
"We believe that industry will be ready, we believe that there will be more than one, possibly two three, maybe others that will be ready to compete for phase two."
SpaceX aims to test its launchpad abort system later this year. Both SpaceX and Boeing also have plans to fly their own test pilots on board their spacecraft before 2017. That's when NASA hopes commercial companies will be ready to begin flying astronauts from the US to the International Space Station.

Mark Garnier MP, a member of the Treasury Select Committee, told ACCA members at the post-Budget Breakfast meeting that they should keep on tax planning, but that it was evasion and tax abuse the Government needed to keep on top of.
In its paper 'Levelling the tax playing field' accompanying last week's Budget, HMRC allude to the growing use of Zappers and other software by some businesses aimed at altering sales records to avoid paying tax. A recent OECD paper revealed that HMRC investigators trained in spotting these types of tactics found such devices were used in 68 per cent of their investigations.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of taxation, said: 'Zappers and similar software that supress sales data for tax advantage is of no benefit to anyone other than those using it. HMRC's crackdown on this is welcomed, and should be welcomed by all consumers. Unlike some evasion where the consumer might gain, or think they're gaining, from colluding in the crime, they probably won't even realise it has happened.
'This kind of tax dodge is a far cry from legal tax planning, which is based on tax incentives designed to encourage reinvestment, job creation or some other advantage which is passed onto society in general. Deliberately stripping money out of the legitimate economy and siphoning it into the hands of criminals should not be overlooked and the fact HMRC is arming itself to tackle the issue shows how serious it can be.'
ACCA points out that changes to HMRC's administrative powers allow it to inspect the bulk records of credit and debit card transactions held by the processing companies who handle a business's accounts. Fed into Connect, the £40m system which mines data from public records, business databases and the internet, HMRC can profile better than ever before precisely which businesses have anomalous records profiles.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, who chaired the ACCA post-Budget Breakfast event, said: 'This is a global issue. We have seen the OECD shine a spotlight on the scale of the issue and in Canada, a world leader in tackling this kind of evasion, it is estimated that annual suppressed sales amount to $2.4 billion (Canadian) in the restaurant sector alone. Businesses and their finance teams should look to existing, above board, legally sound financial planning measures to make tax savings which can be used more effectively.'

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SeanG Jookle The Jookle jacket is fantastic! The subtle brown plaid pattern makes it a nice coat for fall. The buttons have a nice extra touch detailed Minneapolis, MN 1955. It's a longer coat, Penguin's creative version of a houndstooth I believe. Part of the Abbot Pederson collection, this jacket rocks. October 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chavi Nice Coat This is nice semi-dress coat. It's well fitted, so I couldn't fit a blazer underneath, but I don't think that's what the coat is for. It's fitted and comfortable. The yellow plaid lining is a nice touch and including it under the collar is an understated stylish move. November 16, 2012

Customer Reviews for CrystalPleat® Purple Cordless Window Shades
"The Best Shade Ever"
By Shadesfordays from Louisville, KY
This is the 7th CrystalPleat cellular shade I've purchased for my home - a couple windows at a time! The product is of the highest quality and the ease of installation still amazes me. Brace yourself for the compliments - people love the look. The BlindsGalore web site/ordering process is highly efficient and leaves no detail uncovered. From beginning to end, my shopping experience was top-notch. Thank you!View this product
"Functional and Understated"
By S from San Mateo, CA
I initially bought the Gaber blinds to match existing ones in our second home. I thought long and hard about having someone out to install the new ones I was ordering. After talking with Blindsgalore I decided to try it myself. They were so easy to install (the info provided on the website was very user friendly). I liked the blinds so much I bought a second round and put them in my main home too. They are low profile, and stack within the wood trim of the window. Now I have something attractive to protect the furniture from the sun without distracting from the beauty of the window and view. Blindsgalore delivered quickly and exactly as I had ordered. They are so helpful and knowledgeable.View this product
