Contact a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) in Connecticut
If you are a low income taxpayer who needs assistance in resolving tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and you cannot afford representation, or if you speak English as a second language and need help understanding your taxpayer rights and responsibilities, you may qualify for help from a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) that provides free or nominal cost assistance.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics represent low income taxpayers before the IRS and assist taxpayers in audits, appeals and collection disputes. LITCs can also help taxpayers respond to IRS notices and correct account problems.
Although LITCs receive partial funding from the IRS, LITCs, their employees, and their volunteers are completely independent of the federal government. These clinics are operated by nonprofit organizations or academic institutions.
This is not a recommendation by the IRS that you retain a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic or other similar organization to represent you before the IRS.
Each clinic independently decides if you meet the income eligibility guidelines and other criteria before it agrees to represent you.
See the "Low Income Taxpayer Clinic Income Eligibility Guidelines".
The federally-funded clinics for the state selected are listed below.
The city for the main office of each clinic is listed; however, some clinics have multiple locations. Please contact the clinic for the office nearest you.

1 honey bun of your choice (featured is "sweet" by urban chiks) and
cut your 4 yards of white fabric to 1 1/2 inch widths (yup ALL of it)
start braiding your white fabric
****you need to make sure your braiding is SUPER LOOSE. do not make your braids tight at all. if they are tight they will make your rag rug curl up when you try to sew it together.******
once you get close to the end of your braid you are going to fold over the end of your strip and snip with your scissors a slit.
you will take the next strip and place it on top of the braided strip
this is what it should look like, now keep braiding.
once you get close to the end of your braid you are going to do the same as you did before and make a slit at the ends of your braided strips and at the beginning of your next strips this time wanted to add color so i took one strip of the honey bun and two of the white strips i cut out.
it should now look like this. this will be what you do through out the whole process of braiding your rug. one color in the middle and two whites on the outside.
now that you have a whole mess of a braid going on...we are off to hand sew it together.
get some sturdy thread (i recommend one you use for upholstery) and a needle and you are going to start off by coiling your start of the long braid (the whites)
make sure once you get your center started and going...place your coil on a flat surface. this will ensure that your rug lays flat with each coil.
also make sure you do not overlay the braids at all. they need to be laying flat and to be sewn side by side to each other.
****to make your rug a little sturdier, i recommend adding a felt backing to your rug.
first start off with placing your rug on top of your large piece of felt, (you can buy it at walmart for pretty cheap off the bolt you will need aprox 1 1/2 yards (just in case so you can piece a little if needed)) and cutting out the same size as your finished rug.
next hand sew around your rug on top of the felt.
and then at random places adhere your rug in the middle (and all over) by doing big stitches through your coils.
look what you made! isn't it pretty? and it will look so great ANYWHERE! (make some smaller circles to make bar stool seat covers!)

We loved the Pink Martini performance. They are all talented musicians who seem to be having fun onstage. They made it fun for the audience. Their music is eclectic, funny, somber; a sophisticated mix.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
A truly unique group - great vocals, great musicianship, truly electric with the audience
As a huge Pink Martini fan my expectations of seeing them live are high. They are beyond perfect in concert. China Forbes is beautiful with such an amazing voice. Thomas Lauderdale is vibrant and exciting to watch play piano. There was a beautiful piece played by violinist Nicholas Crosa. I look forward to seeing them again next time they are in bay area

Sub-tropical fruit and drought tolerant. The sweetest develop when the daytime temperature regularly exceeds 95°F. Thrives in most soil types, as long as it's well-drained. Mature trees are hardy to 15°F. Will re-grow from roots if winter-killed. Grows to 25' tall and 40' wide if not pruned. Figs need warm soil for their roots to start growing.
Figs do not like to be planted as bare-roots and are difficult to establish, so we sell these No. 1 size trees (2' to 2½') in pots to enhance their survival rate. Trees are 1 year old and should begin to fruit in same year you plant them.
All our dormant trees (except Pecan trees) and berries come with a limited replacement guarantee.
For best success, be sure to choose a tree that will grow in your USDA zone, has an appropriate number of chill hours for your climate. If a pollinator is needed, make sure they're planted within 50 feet of each other and will bloom at the same time. Finally, what are your desired harvest intervals (all at once for canning or spread out for fresh eating)? Enjoy!

Home automation systems may look cool, but can they actually be beautiful? Can a touchpanel hanging on your wall be a work of art?
I'm not talking about automating slide shows of your summer vacation or pictures of Van Gogh paintings on your iPad—I'm talking about something that was designed to integrate and accentuate your décor, maybe even be an attractive conversation piece outside of it's technological capabilities.
That's the plan for Artefact's Serenity home automation system. "What if we had an OS for the home that gives us the information and control we want, but also makes our home better and more beautiful, our relationship with it more harmonious?" says the Artefact website.
So what is it? At this point it's a concept, a bit more than an idea but not a rolled-out product you can get installed by your local integrator. Artefact is a design company more than a technology company, so there's no discussion of network protocols, processing speeds or price points. The idea is to have attractive tablet-like e-ink devices that provide status updates for various systems connected by home automation. Sensors will be able to provide feedback from the connected systems (lighting, audio, temperature, security…) and present them on the e-ink devices in an artistic manner. The company calls this consumptive awareness and says the system grows and adapts based on your usage patterns, which sounds a little like the Nest smart thermostat.
Artefact wants Serenity to make home automation fun and attractive, instead of something that looks like it belongs on a starship. "Why not create awareness through a metaphor of something we care about?" says the company website. The system provides visual feedback in pleasing images, such as an abstract plant that sways as you walk by. If your energy system reports that you're over consuming, the tree may fall down.
The idea sounds great. Right now the company is talking about e-ink displays, but people want to use their smart phones and tablets for control interfaces because, well, they already have them. Could an emotive feedback system cross over to your iPhone? Perhaps a breech in your security system might be displayed as a Keystone Cops burglar image. Yikes.
I love what this company is trying to do, but I'm not sure that fun and intuitive can achieve the same goals. I'll be paying attention to see what develops.

What Are Your Ideas For Cleaning Up Boxing? |
What Are Your Ideas For Cleaning Up Boxing? |

I will say,
I would like to see some sort of centralized boxing authority that has the ability to over-power the sanctioning bodies when they do something that is terribly unjust or wrong. Sort of like how the Association of Boxing Commission Rules in the United States and Canada superseded, or at least are supposed to supersede alphabet federation rules. But they don't go far enough. Texas for instance has violated ABC rules by experimenting with the WBC 4th and 8th round Open Scoring system in WBC fights. This is a violation of Unified Rules. Arkansans tried the WBC Open Scoring Rule in the Taylor-Ouma fight, but it was considered to be experimental at the time. The ABC knew this and overwhelmingly Open Scoring was rejected by almost all US Commissions and the British Boxing Board of Control. It is the ABC that kept Open Scoring thankfully out of the United States and Canada. However, the model of a centralized boxing commission does not go far enough. And its not just the stopping of any form of Open Scoring, which has, for the most part, been a dismal failure. Why Japan likes it so much, I'll never know. If a centralized and legal authority can overturn alphabet federation protocols that are deplorable, this system should be put in place. On the other hand, if reasonable and just decisions are made by the sanctioning bodies for the interest of the fighters, this needs to be addressed as well. Not everything an alphabet group does is corrupt. The alphabet federations are much more respected outside of the United States than within. The WBC's insurance and pension program for fighters is a good thing. The "WBC Caress" work with children's hospitals and efforts toward helping kids and fighters with terminal illness is a great thing. I can also say that the WBC out of all of the sanctioning bodies, is the most receptive to communication and feedback. They are always very helpful and willing to answer any questions or feedback that I submit to them. The WBA is OK for feedback, but they don't respond as in-depth as the WBC does. The WBO is also pretty good for feedback. Years ago, I had a major beef with Bob Lee and the IBF when I bashed Eugenia Williams scoring in the Holyfield-Lewis I fight and recieved quite an angry response where Mr. Lee defended her right down the line. However, we know of the controversy and scandel of Bob Lee's past. Their past president Hiwatha Knight is good, and Joe Dwyer out of New York who is an IBF rep is good as well. Daryl People's the current president I heard is good and reasonable. If all of these organizations were total shit, than I don't think respected boxing people would go to the conventions as much as they do. Also to be taken into account, has to be that no one has been able to impliment a system for boxing for the past 50 years, that completely eliminates the alphabet federations from the system. If you go with the Teddy Atlas concept of a single national commission some questions need to be addressed: 1.) Under Teddy's Atlas' national commission proposal-who would run such a system? Who would oversee a system of checks and balances to oversee fairness and justice in the system, to prevent another boxing monopoly from taking place? Teddy never talks in detail about such a proposal as to who would run the commission. 2.) I agree that there are far too many belts. WBA Super Champion, an idea proposed by Lennox Lewis to prevent multiple title holders from having to do too many defenses too close together. There should be no Super Champion period. Just call the match a 12-round World Title Elimination Match. 3.) The WBC Diamond Belt-Has no sanctioning fees associated with it and is commemorative only. But it doesn't need to be. This belt goes to the winner of two special fighters who achieved strong boxing status through the years and fight outside their weight class in a bog match. But much like the WBA Superchampion there should not be any belt for title eliminationss. Eliminate Champion in Recess or as the WBC calls it, champion in recess belts. IF THERE IS NO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE, THERE IS NO BELT GIVEN TO THE WINNER OF THE FIGHT. PERIOD. 4.) What all powers that be in boxing SHOULD be promoting is the elimination of TV and promotional monopolies with ANY FIGHTER! This is the type of bullshit that is just as bad as the sanctioning bodies when they do something bad. BOXING NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF WHEN THE NETWORK JUST SHOWED THE FIGHTS LIKE IN THE 50'S-70'S. THERE ARE NO TIE-INS TO ANY PROMOTER OR MATCHMAKER. YOU FIGHT FOR THE BEST DEAL THAT SHOWTIME OR HBO CAN GIVE YOU ON A FIGHT TO FIGHT BASIS, OR EVEN FREE OR STANDARD CABLE TV. 5.) Boxing should have a free open market where neither HBO or Showtime are contractually obligated to any fighter or promoter. You would see better fights that way and less politics in getting the best matches made. You go with the best deals for the best fights, no long-term promoter contract monopolist tie-ins. Showtime sort of understands this. HBO doesn't get it. Lamply wouldn't know who to pom-pom if this system went into effect. 6.) Round Robin Elimination tournaments with proposal #5 in effect. Lets see how the best champions of the world federations match up to each other to produce a single unified champion. Get the Association of Boxing Commissions support of this tournament. When the undisputed champion retires or is beaten, the Round Robin elimination tournament begins again. Currently, there are too many fighters who can win a world alphabet belt, without any incentive to unify. Jack |

QUOTE Now this article was just barely over a yr ago. What's changed since then? Nothing at all QUOTE One of their best fighters sums the UFC up nicely here I'm not trying to bash the UFC but to say their model is working better is debatable. When you go down fight cards for both boxing averages out better. You can afford to pay fighters 10k when after its all said and done GSP and Silva are getting 4-5 mil per fight. Miguel Cotto is the 3rd highest draw in boxing as far as PPV and he gets more then these two and their top dog in the UFC. Both sports have their flaws, the UFC just keeps theirs a secret |
