The Iowa Department of Revenue has received questions on the sale of wind farms and what should be included in net acquisition cost.
Purchase of Wind Towers
A new owner writes:
Our company completed two transactions to create an operating wind farm from a previous wind farm developer.
First, we bought a turbine and the associated infrastructure for $2.376 million.
Second, we bought an LLC with no tangible assets for $1.29 million. This LLC holds contracts, including:
- Power Purchase Agreement- the contract to sell the power at a given price for a given period of time to the utility.
- Interconnection Agreement - the right to connect onto the transmission lines.
- Land Lease –the rental agreement with the landowner.
We combined the turbine and the LLC and commissioned the project on January 30, 2010.
Our questions are:
1. What is our assessable value? Is it only $2.376 million?
Answer: The assessed value is based on the construction cost reported by the original owner. A subsequent sale of the turbine and associated infrastructure does not effect the assessment. Your purchase price is not considered in the assessed value.
2. Does the 0% to 30% assessment valuation start over because we are new owners?
Answer: No. The sale does not change the stage of the assessment ladder that it is on.
If the property had an original acquisition cost of $3,000,000 and the stage of assessment is year five, the assessment is $3,000,000 x 20% = $600,000.
Assets included in Net Acquisition Cost when a Wind Farm is assessed under 427B.26
Type of Expense |
Net Acquisition Cost |
AFUDC (Allowance for Funds Used During Construction) – Noncash item representing the estimated composite interest cost of debt and return on equity funds used to finance construction. |
Include |
Damage Payments – Payments to property owners to reimburse the owner for damage caused by construction or delivery of the materials to the wind sites. |
Include |
Easements and right-of-way and land lease costs |
Do not include |
Payments to city airports for permanently canceling their non-directional approach to certain runways. |
Include |
Attorney costs (abstracts, permits) |
Include |
Permits – environmental, construction, etc. |
Include |
Meals |
Include |
Employee expense reports |
Include |
Other Questions Related to Assessment of Wind Farms
Should meteorological towers (MET) and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) buildings dedicated to the wind farm be valued under 427B.26?
Whether or not METs and O&M buildings are valued under 427B.26 depends on the circumstances.
A MET may be constructed before an ordinance for the special valuation of wind energy conversion property has been approved by local government or before a letter of intent has been filed with the local assessor. In these instances, the MET is subject to the provisions of 427A.1 and may be assessed as real estate before the project is assessed under 427B.26.
If there is a separate assessment for the MET, it should not be included in the acquisition cost reported for assessment under the special valuation for wind energy conversion property.
However, if the MET is not separately assessed before the project is first assessed under the special valuation for wind energy conversion property, then it should be included in the special valuation.
O&M buildings that are used primarily to support the wind farms should also be included in the acquisition cost under 427B.26.
Should the costs incurred after a wind farm is placed in service be treated separately or be included with the original costs? For example, a wind turbine went into service in 2006 at a cost of $2 million. In 2007, an additional $100 thousand in related costs were incurred. In which assessment year should the $100 thousand be included? Some counties are adding the additional costs to the original costs and others are treating the additional costs as stand-alone. Which method is correct?
The costs that are part of the original construction project should be added to the net acquisition cost when the project is first assessed. Subsequent capitalized costs that are part of the maintenance of the project should not be added to the net acquisition cost.
A new tower or improvement should be first assessed when it comes into service. This will result in a separate assessment schedule starting at zero percent of the net acquisition cost the first year. The second through the sixth year the rate increases by five percentage points. The seventh and succeeding years will be at 30% of acquisition cost.

NEW YORK NURSE: July/August 2009
by Linda O'Brien, MS, RN, President, NYSNA
On July 1, I attended the opening ceremony at the International Council of Nurses (ICN) 24th Quadrennial Congress, along with more than 5,000 nurses from all over the world.
The Congress was held in Durban, South Africa, and it was an inspiring and uplifting experience as the African nurses came into the convention center in their native dress and spontaneously entertained us with their energetic songs. The nurses from Denmark sported bright red shirts with "Proud to be a Nurse" emblazoned in white across the front. Korean and Japanese nurses also wore native costumes and the Australians proudly announced that the next Congress will be held on their turf in Melbourne in 2013.
Equally inspiring was the keynote address from Festus G. Mogae, former president of Botswana, who acknowledged the leadership of nurses in his country in setting the agenda for improving the healthcare system.
More than 200 educational sessions and symposiums were held over the next five days, ranging from disaster response to technology and informatics. Research, patient advocacy, and the struggle to improve workplace conditions emerged as common themes throughout the nursing world. Nurses from some countries spoke of deaths related to poor working conditions for nurses, while others talked about increased numbers of nurses with advanced education and the influence of nurses in developing healthcare policy.
Our own Karen Ballard spoke on "Health Care Without Harm" and Renée Gescedi presented a poster on the NYSNA Preceptor Train-the-Trainer Program.
I was privileged to attend an event sponsored by the Florence Nightingale International Foundation and learned about its Girl Child Education Fund. This fund was established to provide schooling for orphaned children of nurses in developing countries. A young woman from Swaziland told how she was able to complete her high school education and was planning on following in her mother's footsteps to become a professional nurse.
Rosemary Bryant from Australia, the newly elected president of ICN, chose the word "access" as the key word in her acceptance speech. She expanded on the word beyond patients' access to care to include nurses' access to influence in developing health policy at all levels of government, to higher education, to improved working conditions, and to research grants aimed at improving professional practice and patient care.
It was both awesome and humbling to hear first-hand about what nurses are doing throughout the world to improve their workplaces and advocate for patients. It was unforgettable to experience the energy, enthusiasm, and professional pride of nurses from 128 nations.
I hope that NYSNA members will bring the same enthusiasm and energy to our 2009 Convention in Saratoga Springs on Oct 8-11. Let's respectfully debate our various points of view and then collaborate to determine the best direction for NYSNA as it continues to advocate for patients and advance the profession.

Well, I did ask on these forums concerning a battle one of my great-great-grandfathers was in. I have no idea exactly how many of my ancestors fought in the war, but I know it was at least two, and both on my mother's side (no clue if any on my father's side fought in the war, most of my ancestors I know about on his side were French-Canadian who seem to have come to this country after the war). The way my mother's told it to me there was some argueements within the family after the war ended because apparently at least one ancestor fought for the North and one for the South. I know for certain a great-great-grandfather fought for the South. Mom used to have his military records until some family member took them on her (which is one of the big reasons I was asking about the battle, it's the only one she really remembers seeing on the records). Some ancestor, not sure if it was my grandfather or an uncle, carried a Minié ball lodged in his back for the rest of his life that had some of the family questioning if he had mental problems cause he apparently would scratch his back raw by rubbing up against a tree when it started iching too badly. |

Last month, a Bangladesh military court sentenced 657 border guards for their part in the mutiny [JURIST report], bringing the total number of soldiers jailed for the mutiny to more than 3,000. Last January, the civilian trial of 800 soldiers charged [JURIST report] with crimes stemming from their roles in the 2009 mutiny began in the capital city of Dhaka. The trial involves some of the most serious charges with those found guilty facing the death penalty. The trial is expected to last over a year and to include the testimonies of more than 1,000 individuals. In August 2010, a special Bangladeshi military court sentenced [JURIST report] 14 members of the BDR for their roles in the mutiny. The tribunal, led by BDR head Maj. Gen. Mainul Islam, fined each of the men Tk 100 and sentenced [BDNews24 report] them to prison terms ranging from four months to six years, one year short of the maximum possible sentence for rebellion under Bangladeshi law. About 3,500 other soldiers will face lesser charges in military courts.
In order to protect life, it takes compassionate leadership from our elected officials. By signing this critical pro-life legislation, Governor Kasich demonstrated to all Ohioans that the health and welfare of birth mothers and their unborn children are of paramount importance to the state of Ohio ... From now on, these babies and their mothers will be protected.
Ohio's legislation is part of a wave of acts passed by state legislatures since the November elections aimed at restricting abortions in the wake of disputed medical evidence that suggests that fetuses can feel pain after 20 weeks [Reuters report]. In June, the Ohio House of Representatives [official website] voted 54-43 to approve legislation [HB 125] that would prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable [JURIST report], which could occur as early as six weeks into the pregnancy. The Iowa House of Representatives [official website] also voted in June in favor of a bill [HF-1736 text, PDF] that would effectively ban abortions after 18 weeks of pregnancy [JURIST report], making it the most restrictive abortion law in the country. In May, a judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio [official website] upheld an Ohio law [2919.123 text] that limits the use of the "abortion pill" [JURIST report], overturning a 2006 injunction [JURIST report]. Oklahoma has also prohibited the use of mifepristone, and the drug is slated to be banned [JURIST reports] in North Dakota on August 1. Multiple states have acted to ban abortions after 20 weeks, when some studies suggest a fetus can begin feeling pain, including Missouri, Indiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas and Idaho [JURIST reports].
A federal jury convicted [JURIST report] Rajaratnam in May on all 14 counts of insider trading. New Castle is said to have gained at least $1.7 million from the trades. Chiesi reportedly got the information from former IBM executive Robert Moffat, with whom she was having an affair. Moffat is currently serving six months in prison for insider trading in connection with the Galleon case. Moffat was sentenced [JURIST report] in September and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine for his role in the scheme after he pleaded guilty [JURIST report] the previous March. Former Intel Capital [corporate website] executive Rajiv Goel pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to insider trading charges in connection with the Galleon probe earlier in February 2010. Rajaratnam, Chiesi, Goel and Moffat were arrested in October and charged [complaint, PDF] along with two other individuals and two business entities with insider trading. The complaint alleged that the individuals provided Galleon Group and another hedge fund with material non-public information about several corporations upon which the funds traded, generating $25 million in illicit gain. Rajaratnam and Chiesi initially pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] in December 2009 after being indicted for insider trading.
It is more likely that such laws—so obviously targeting the adherents of one religious faith—would further stigmatise these women and lead to their alienation from the majority society. Banning women dressed in the burqa/niqab from public institutions like hospitals or government offices may only result in them avoiding such places entirely. This is not liberation.
Belgium's interim cabinet announced last week that the nation will be officially banning the burqa [JURIST report] beginning July 23. A French Muslim couple living in the UK filed a challenge [JURIST report] last month in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] over the French ban [materials, in French] on full face coverings. Also in June, a Spanish court upheld a city ban on veils in municipal buildings for identification and security purposes. Under the French ban, people caught wearing facial coverings in public can be fined 150 (USD $215) and/or ordered to take a citizenship class. In addition, anyone convicted of forcing a someone else to cover their face may be fined up to 30,000 euro and jailed for one year [AFP report, in French], and the penalties double if the incident involves a minor. The ban affects citizens, residents and tourists alike, and extends to all public places [Le Figaro backgrounder, in French], including airports, hospitals, government offices and even places of worship that are open to the public. In October, the French Constitutional Council ruled that the ban conforms with the Constitution [JURIST report]. Also in October, Dutch politician Geert Wilders [personal website, in Dutch] said that the Netherlands will ban the burqa [JURIST report] as part of the government's plan to form a minority coalition. In August, Austria's conservative Freedom Party [official website, in German] called for a special vote [JURIST report] on whether to ban face veils and the construction of minarets, two of the most visible symbols of the Islamic faith. In July, Spain's lower house of parliament rejected a proposal [JURIST report] to ban the burqa and other full face veils by a vote of 183 to 162 with two abstaining.
California has come under criticism in the past year for its overcrowded prison system. In May, the US Supreme Court [official website] upheld [JURIST report] an order requiring California to release up to 46,000 prisoners to remedy the state's overcrowded prisons [JURIST news archive]. The court concluded that the extreme overcrowding of the California prison system is causing inmates to receive inadequate medical care in violation of the Eighth Amendment [text]. In August 2009, a special panel of federal judges ordered [JURIST report] California to reduce its prison population by about 46,000 inmates or construct more facilities to handle the prisoners. Governor Jerry Brown [official website] submitted a plan [press release; materials] in June to reduce the prison population by over 30,000 inmates [JURIST report]. The submitted plan outlines measures that the state was taking to reduce prison populations including the passage of AB 109 [text], which once funded by the legislature, will transfer adult prisoners to local jails. The bill, which is already being implemented, is meant to reduce crowding by restructuring the parole system, providing inmates with more opportunities to earn early release credits, creating an alternative rehabilitative program for parole violators rather than being sent back to prison, and changing the law to increase the threshold for felonies in crimes that could be a misdemeanor depending on the amount stolen. The number of inmates currently in California prisons is approximately 143,500, about a 19,000 inmate reduction from 2006 when the plaintiffs filed their motions to convene the three-judge panel.
By foreclosing these options and failing to create a long-term detention regime that puts a priority on intelligence collection and keeping terrorists out of the United States—combined with reluctance to consult or collaborate with Congress on these issues—the Administration has forced Congress to take action on these issues. These concerns are only heightened given the decision to handle Warsame's case in a manner that directly contradicts pending legislation.
US Attorney General Eric Holder [official website] has consistently advocated [JURIST report] that terror suspects be tried in civilian courts despite finding little support from Congress. Last month, Holder gave a speech defending the civil court system for terror suspects [JURIST report] saying he will, "defend the exclusive right of the executive branch to determine appropriate venues and mechanisms for all criminal trials," and that he will, "continue to point [to] one indisputable fact ... proven repeatedly by this administration and the previous one: in disrupting potential attacks and effectively interrogating, prosecuting, and incarcerating terrorists, there is quite simply no more powerful tool than our civilian court system." In April, Holder announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] and four other co-conspirators will be tried before a military commission [JURIST report] for their roles in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Holder, who wanted the accused be tried before a federal civilian court [JURIST report], referred the cases to the Department of Defense (DOD) [official website] after Congress imposed a series of restrictions [JURIST report] barring the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the US. Holder refused to delay the trial any longer for the sake of the victims of the 9/11 attacks and their families, explaining that the restrictions are not likely to be repealed in the immediate future. The Obama administration changed its position despite repeated appeals from rights groups to utilize civilian courts over military commissions for the trials of suspected terrorists. However, international pressure to use civilian courts remains. Last March, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism Martin Scheinin [official website] called on the Obama administration to hold civilian trials [JURIST report] for Mohammed and other suspected terrorists saying that the military commissions system is fatally flawed and cannot be reformed.
The first settlement agreement was reached [JURIST report] in October 2008, and arguments on the ASA were heard in February 2010, after which Chin announced that he would delay ruling [JURIST report] on the proposed settlement. Earlier that month the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] filed a statement of interest [JURIST report] urging the court to reject the settlement due to copyright and antitrust concerns, and stating that the agreement would provide Google with "anticompetitive advantages" with potentially monopolistic effects. The DOJ's statement of interest was filed after an official inquiry, which was announced [JURIST report] six months after the original settlement agreement was reached. Meanwhile, concerns had been raised in the European Union and elsewhere that Google's book-scanning initiative violated national copyright laws, especially in France where a Parisian court fined Google [JURIST report] €300,000 (USD $430,000) for digitizing books and making excerpts available on the web. The Authors Guild represents several major publishing companies, including the Association of American Publishers (AAP) [association website], McGraw-Hill, Penguin Group, and Simon & Schuster [corporate websites].
[T]he Appeals Chamber observes that the Trial Chamber found that the effect of Hartmann's disclosure of confidential information decreased the likelihood that states would cooperate with the Tribunal in the future, thereby undermining its ability to exercise its jurisdiction to prosecute and punish serious violations of humanitarian law. The Trial Chamber further found that prosecuting an individual for contempt under these circumstances was proportionate to the effect her actions had on the Tribunal's ability to administer international criminal justice. The Appeals Chamber is therefore of the view that the Trial Chamber was correct to conclude that Rule 54 of the Rules permits the Tribunal to impose confidentiality in an effort to secure the cooperation of sovereign states. In light of the foregoing, the Appeals Chamber is satisfied that the Trial Chamber adequately took into account all relevant considerations to ensure that its Judgement was rendered in conformity with international law.
Hartmann's trial began [JURIST report] in June 2009. At an initial appearance, Hartmann did not enter a plea [JURIST report] and a plea of not guilty was entered on her behalf. Hartmann formally served as the official spokesperson for chief ICTY prosecutor Carla del Ponte [BBC profile]. Before being indicted, Hartmann drew media attention by repeating allegations [JURIST report] that former US president Bill Clinton and former French president Jacques Chirac had planned a campaign [JURIST report] to capture Radovan Karadzic [BBC profile; JURIST news archive], but later backed down following a change in policy. Hartmann has also said that Russia aided in moving Karadzic to safety in Belarus, and alleged that the West helped in order to hide information about the Srebrenica massacre [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive].
Corruption has become increasingly problematic in Taiwan. Former Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui was indicted [JURIST report] in June on charges of money laundering and embezzling money from a secret diplomatic fund. Earlier that same month, Taiwan's Judicial Yuan [official website] President Lai Hau-min announced a new law [JURIST report] to remove judges deemed by a committee to have been involved in corrupt activities. In November 2010, the Taiwan Supreme Prosecutors Office indicted 13 people [JURIST report], including three High Court judges, on charges of bribery, corruption and money laundering. The three judges were accused of accepting more than NT $5 million (USD $155,000) from former legislator Ho Chi-Hui [JURIST news archive] in exchange for clearing him of charges related to a corrupt land-development project. Last August, the Taipei Prosecutors Office [official website] conducted raids [JURIST report] on the homes of several High Court judges and 18 other locations searching for evidence related to the bribery deals. The three High Court judges were arrested [JURIST report] on corruption charges in July 2010 and were suspended from duty following their arrests. The judges' indictments follows the Taipei High Court's acquittal [CNA report] of former Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] on charges of embezzling USD $20 million from banks [JURIST report] that sought to protect themselves during Chen's financial reform program. Chen is also appealing a 20-year sentence for corruption and embezzlement.
In December, Toyota settled [JURIST report] US federal investigations by agreeing to pay a record $32.4 million in extra fines for product defects and poor handling of a recall. The fines stem from two investigations conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) [official website]. The first, a fine of $16.375 million, concerned nearly five million vehicles with accelerator pedals entrapped by floor mats, which caused at least one fatal accident in California. The second, a fine of $16.050 million, resulted from Toyota's failure to notify the NHTSA of a safety defect in several Toyota models' steering relay rods. Toyota has been under federal scrutiny since December 2009, and has conducted several recalls. Toyota's product recalls have been analyzed by Forum guest columnist Bruce Aronson of Creighton University School of Law in the op-ed Learning from Toyota's Troubles - Where's the Board? [JURIST op-ed].
As we pause to reflect on the significance of Hadzic's arrest for the Tribunal, we are mindful that the Tribunal is part of a much broader process for establishing accountability for atrocities committed during the wars in the former Yugoslavia. The victims of thousands of other crimes are still waiting for justice. The prosecution of war crimes in national proceedings remains a critical challenge for the region and its people. The Office of the Prosecutor will continue to use its best efforts to assist the fight against impunity in the former Yugoslavia, by providing national prosecutors with information, evidence and expertise. The international community also has a key role to play in ensuring that national prosecutions can successfully take over the Tribunal's work in establishing accountability for the atrocities committed. With Hadzic's arrest we take solace in the knowledge that the Tribunal can now complete its work. But to ensure full accountability for the atrocities committed during the war in the former Yugoslavia, we must also redouble our commitment to supporting the remaining national prosecutions.
Hadzic was a key player in the Bosnian Civil War [JURIST news archive] and has been at large for approximately seven years. Hadzic's official charges [case information sheet, PDF] are: persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds; extermination; murder; torture; inhumane acts; deportation and forcible transfer; cruel treatment; wanton destruction of villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity; destruction or willful damage done to institutions dedicated to education and religion; and plunder of public or private property. Hadzic's indictment contends that, in his role as president of the Serbian nationalist forces during the war, he attempted to permanently and forcibly remove a majority of the Croat and other non-Serb population from the disputed territory. He is accused of murdering or ordering the murders of hundreds of non-Serb citizens, including children and the elderly. Further, he allegedly displaced more than 20,000 non-Serb civilians. Hadzic was found near the small Serbian village of Krusedol [B92 report], living under a false name. Although he was armed, he did not resist arrest. He was discovered after attempting to sell a painting by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, due to running out of money to facilitate his hiding. Hadzic was also reportedly harbored by members of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) [official website]. Hadzic was the final remaining war criminal at large from the Bosnian Civil War, along with Ratko Mladic [JURIST news archive], who was arrested in May [JURIST report].
I can tell you that the President has long called for a legislative repeal of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which continues to have a real impact on the lives of real people — our families, friends and neighbors. He is proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act, introduced by Senator Feinstein and Congressman Nadler, which would take DOMA off the books once and for all. This legislation would uphold the principle that the federal government should not deny gay and lesbian couples the same rights and legal protections as straight couples.
In March, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) [official website] announced that he was launching a legal advisory group to defend [JURIST report] DOMA, stating "[t]he constitutionality of this law should be determined by the courts, not by the president unilaterally, and this action by the House will ensure the matter is addressed in a manner consistent with our Constitution." Democrats introduced the Respect for Marriage Act following February's announcement by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] that it will no longer defend the constitutionality [JURIST report] of Section 3 of DOMA, which restricts the federal definition of marriage to heterosexual couples, in court cases challenging the provision. The announcement came just one month after the DOJ filed a brief [JURIST report] with the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit [official website] defending the constitutionality of DOMA. The appeal followed a July 2010 ruling [JURIST report] by the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, which found that Section 3 of DOMA violates both the Equal Protection Clause of the Fifth Amendment and State Sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment [text]. Six states and the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage. Currently DOMA allows other states to ignore those recognized same-sex marriages, and prevents same-sex couples from receiving federal benefits available to married couples.

Old Indochina from Hanoi to Angkor Wat
It's unlike anywhere else. Raw and simple one minute, bustling and friendly the next. In one breath dramatic and tranquil. A sail among the limestone peaks in Halong Bay. Footpaths that snake through secluded rice paddies. A quiet nod from villagers leading buffalo to water. Touching the ethereal ruins of Angkor with your own hands. It's a journey full of color and intrigue. Every meal is a metaphor for the region's complex culture. Every hotel offers soothing luxuries. Temples that defy centuries. Smiles that bridge oceans. And local guides that open doors long closed.
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
We are constantly seeking the best possible accommodations on Halong Bay. Bai Tho Cruise and Indochina Sails generally offer the most consistently comfortable boats with an appropriate number of cabins that also allow us to visit the more exclusive parts of the bay. New boat companies are being launched and some of these may include fancier boats, but since these vessels are typically quite large and do not journey too far from their port, we've chosen not to use them. Rest assured, we use the nicest boats that head into our favorite parts of the bay.Walking & Hiking in an Emerging World
Your journey through Vietnam and Cambodia will probably be unlike anything you've experienced. The people you'll meet and places you'll visit will likely stay with you for a long time.As wonderfully fulfilling as travel is in this region, it's not always easy. These are developing countries and even something as simple as crossing the road can be a challenge.
Our itineraries and Trip Leaders remove as many obstacles and inconveniences as possible, making your next extraordinary encounter always within reach. Of course, we can't remove haze and noise from the air, or replace poorly maintained paths. But if you can be flexible and approach the region with an open mind, you'll enjoy your trip to the fullest.
Day 1 A wealth of insight from our local guides, who bring to life the intertwined cultures of Vietnam and Cambodia Ride in a bicycle rickshaw through old Hanoi's narrow streets packed with food and flower stalls Hungry? Asia's freshest and tastiest cuisine is within reach Explore Ngoc Ha, a lively district seldom visited by foreigners.
Days 2-4 Cruise and kayak on heavenly Halong Bay, a World Heritage site with hidden beaches, cool caves and beautiful lagoons Enjoy two peaceful nights beneath a canopy of stars in Halong Bay A morning cruise takes us past untouched islands farther into the bay, where we kayak to a small beachside temple.
Day 5 Step back in time and into the imperial city of Hué, with its centuries-old palaces and battle-scarred temples For a unique look at everyday life, you're welcomed into a traditional home Venture into the mysterious and imposing citadel, site of heavy conflict during the Vietnam War.
Days 6-7 Wander the colorful streets of Hoi An, an ancient trading town with beautifully preserved Chinese and Japanese architecture Ride a traditional dragon boat up the Perfume River, and walk among waterfront villages and imperial mausoleums Care to relax? There's a white-sand beach waiting for you.
Days 8-10 Lose yourself in Angkor The remains of Cambodia's ancient Khmer Empire will thrill you with immense spires, giant carved images and beautiful bas-relief Explore iconic temples, statues and other wonders off the beaten path Meet villagers in the fishing hamlet of Tonle Sap.
Guests Reviews About This Trip
The Vietnam & Cambodia Backroads trip is the trip of a lifetime! It's jam-packed with culture, culinary pleasures and adventure with just the right amount of activity.- Scottsdale, AZ
Vietnam and Cambodia are wonderful countries, and our Backroads trip allowed us to see villages and have experiences that we never could have arranged on our own. It was great!- Ambler, PA
The trip could not have been better. Every aspect was extremely well thought-out, researched and coordinated. Despite the relatively tight itinerary there was still an amazing amount of flexibility. No request or need was unmet and both trip leaders were extremely resourceful in accommodating us. It became a bit of a joke on the trip how well things were organized and how good Backroads' local contacts were. We always were whisked through customs. Vans were always available, snacks and drinks just kept on coming, the opportunities to go where other groups did not - to visit homes and to hike through remote villages was particularly impressive. Clearly a great deal of time was spent on making this the spectacular trip that it was.- Philadelphia, PA

Things spotted along the way:
Did you know that Arthur Conan Doyle was a Congo activist? I spotted a mention of that somewhere and looked it up. Wikipedia confirms that he "was a supporter of the campaign for the reform of the Congo Free State, led by the journalist E. D. Morel and the diplomat Roger Casement." The Free State was Belgian King Leopold's name for his personal empire in Congo. In 1908 the Belgian Parliament gave in to international pressure and took over running Congo. Conan Doyle was in the thick of it, writing in 1909 "The Crime of the Congo," which Wikipedia describes as "a long pamphlet in which he denounced the horrors of that colony."
The second thing I noticed is an article from Agence France-Presse reporting that the new UN special envoy for the Great Lakes, Mary Robinson, will travel next week in the region. This will be her first visit in her UN position, and it will take her to the DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, and South Africa. Her goal, in conversations with the various national leaders, will be to come up with "tangible actions and cooperation to end the recurrent cycles of crisis and suffering in the eastern DRC." She sets out on April 29 and returns home on May 5.
And finally I came across a very interesting guest blog on "Congo Siasa," Jason Stearns's excellent blog on Congo. The guest writers are Anthony Gambino, formerly USAID's director in the DRC, and Steve Weisman, formerly the staff director for the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa. The post is titled "Time for a Change in U.S. Congo policy," and it is logically and constructively argued. They first contend that the U.S. has missed some key opportunities to promote democratic development in Congo. Then they suggest an alternative policy including (1) promote greater democratization in several specific ways, (2) promote improved civilian governance, (3) promote improved military governance, and (4) promote conflict resolution in the Kivus.
That is way too brief a digest and their essay is nowhere near as simplistic as my summary makes it sound. I just hope it's enough to make you curious enough to click the link and read it for yourself. It's worth it. Now that you've spotted this along the way.

My sites are primarily my writing. I've been at it for several years and it's paid off in inbound links including some from some universities and government sites.
I do think writing for the web is different.
I think it's a matter of merging good writers with good webmasters. Typically good writers tend to write way to much in paragraphs that are way too long. They want to tell all they know in their area of expertise.Most writers need to be partnered with someone can edit for the web.
Here are the guidelines I've built for my own writing.
1 - start with a short blurb that will grab the reader's interest. If there is something unusual about an article I mention that there. Compelling quotes are another possibility.
2 - I put short headers in bold before each subtopic so when people skim they can easily find the aspect of the topic that they are looking for.
3- Keep the paragraphs short. Long paragraphs look a lot longer on a web page than on paper.
4- Keep the lines short. People can read faster and easier if the lines aren't too long.
5- If the topic will go past around a thousand words break it into two subtopics and put them on two separate pages.
6 - As for the actual writing it needs to be compelling, well organized and concise.

Pros: many attractive features with this monitor including 4 additional USB ports, displayport and so on, height adjustable. Cons: not ISP monitor, 27" only with 1920X1080 resolution. Non-functional front key to adjust volume without entering OSD even when hot key is set 'ON', same for brightness adjustment. any experience and thoughts for sharing? Did you find this review helpful? |
Perfect Monitor for WorkPros: Great monitor! As other reviewers have noted, the color and clarity is outstanding. I am using two of these side by side for my work and I don't realize how I ever survived with my old 22" monitors. I haven't used this monitor for gaming so i can't comment about that. I find the onscreen controls intuitive and well placed. You can't go wrong with this monitor. I would also make sure you have significant desk real estate to support this monitor because while the base has a small footprint, the actual monitor is the size of a billboard. I am also pleased with the number and variety of connection options. Cons: A little expensive, but wait for a sale. As noted by one reviewer: you get what you pay for. Other Thoughts: I have to applaud NewEgg for their customer service. I missed a sale by a day (my fault) and I called customer service the next day and they still gave me a significant discount. To me, that just demonstrates how great NewEgg really is and the caliber/commitment to excellent customer service 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great monitor!Pros: This is worth the money. A great business monitor. Crystal clear, sharp and legible text, easy to use controls, excellent stand. The best features are that it adjusts its brightness depending on your ambient light; for me this was a tremendous feature because my room varies from pitch black to bright sunlight. The sunlight also comes in at weird angles and this monitor has zero reflections and holds up under all conditions. I rarely leave reviews but I'm just so happy with this purchase, the extra $100 compared to the bargain displays is WELL WORTH IT. Cons: None. One of the best monitors I've ever used. Other Thoughts: Worth the money for business or heavy desktop use. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great monitorPros: Color and brightness are exceptional. This is the best monitor I have owned to day and really enjoy it. I don't do much gaming but the ones that I have perform well. NEC is noted for quality and this one does not disappoint. A bit pricey but I always feel that you get what you pay for! Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Top quality TN panelPros: This is arguably the best TN monitor on the market since it was released. High quality panel, construction and stand. It is very light weight. I am mainly using my EA273WM with displayport with a ThinkPad W520. No problems whatsoever. Cons: - Minor bleeding which is inevitable on LED screens. Did you find this review helpful? |
DisappointingPros: Good ergonomics Cons: Poor quality light dispersal across the monitor. No adjustment seems to help. Other Thoughts: I come from using a NEC Pro CRT monitor. This monitor pales in comparison. The lack of uniformity of the lighting of the screen is just appalling. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Nice looking poor quality productPros: Looks very well made. Good brightness, color and image quality. Cons: Very bad backlight bleeding. There was strong bleeding all along the right side with one point looking like the panel and been pinched by the frame. Also edge bleed along the bottom and lower left side. Other Thoughts: Really a shame - the monitor looked very good otherwise. For the price and NEC's reputation I was expecting a premium product and they definitely didn't deliver where the panel was concerned. Very sloppy assembly. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Could have been goodPros: Good color and image quality, very well made and adjustable stand. Cons: Very bad backlight bleeding. There was strong bleeding all along the right side with one point looking like the panel and been pinched by the frame. Also edge bleed along the bottom and lower left side. Other Thoughts: Really a shame - the monitor looked very good otherwise.

a great monitorPros: Bright, crystal clear, good color Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: I haven't used it for gaming but for text/programming/photo editing this monitor is outstanding. Actually, I've never seen a NEC monitor I didn't like; this one upholds the tradition. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome Monitor !!Pros: This monitor is built to extremely high standards. You can feel the quality inherent in it when unpacking it. It is just simply a well made piece of technology. Cons: This monitor could use a remote, since it functions as a HDTV as well as a monitor. It would be convenient. Other Thoughts: Newegg gets the nod yet again on their price and shipping. Their cost was lower than everybody else's. They got it to me in 36 hours on free shipping via UPS. Normally UPS takes forever to reach me, so this was a pleasant surprise. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

My new custom polo shirt business
by solsoly, Performer
- Created: November 10, 2010, 6:40 am
- Updated: June 5, 2013, 3:51 pm
I recently opened a online custom embroidery business, mainly trying to sell embroidered polo shirts.
;ve invested just for the website expenses, and hosting etc.
I have a very terrible fear that does-t let me sleep at night, so I would like to know what you think. I keep on thinking that this type of business will 1 day end up being a strictly chine importing style business, what I mean by that is, that all people seeking to decorate their polo shirts, will buy it through china, it will cost them pennies, (maybe a bit more for shipping, do-t forget, polo shirts dose not weigh a lot) all china companies will have websites so it will be easy to find them.
So my questions is, is there something to my fair? Is this a thing to consider?
Thanks a million

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous ConnectionChild
(TAPVCChild; Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous DrainageChild; TAPVDChild; Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous ReturnChild; TAPVRChild)
En Español (Spanish Version)Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare heart defect.
In a normal heart, the blood flows in from the body to the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary valve to pick up fresh oxygen. Next, the blood returns to the left atrium, goes into the left ventricle, and goes out to the rest of the body.
Heart Chambers and Valves
Blood Flow Through the Heart
With TAPVC, the pulmonary veins that return oxygenated blood from the lungs connect to the right side of the heart, instead of the left atrium. This leads to the mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. The body tissue does not receive as much oxygen as it is supposed to. TAPVC can be mild to severe. There can be a range of connection problems. Other heart problems may be present, as well.
TAPVC is a congenital defect. This means that the heart forms incorrectly when the baby is in the womb. It is not known exactly why the heart develops this way in some babies.
Risk Factors
More research is needed to confirm causes and risk factors for TAPVC. Risk factors thought to be related to this condition include:
- Family history of heart defects
- Having other heart defects
- Environmental exposures
Symptoms may include:
- Blue or pale grayish skin color
- Trouble breathing (shortness of breath)
- Frequent respiratory tract infections
- Slow growth
The doctor may also detect an irregular heart rate during the exam.
These symptoms may be due to other conditions. If your child has any of these, talk to the doctor right away.
The doctor will ask about your childs symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Blood tests and oxygen saturation levels
- Echocardiogram an imaging test that uses sound waves to look at the size, shape, and motion of the heart
- Chest x-ray an imaging test that uses low amounts of radiation to create an image of the chest
- Electrocardiogram a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart
- Cardiac catheterization a test that uses a catheter (tube) and x-ray machine to assess the heart and its blood supply
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
Preventing fetal heart defects may not always be possible, but you can reduce your risk by:
Practicing good prenatal care:
- Visit the doctor regularly to monitor your health and the health of the baby. (Prenatal tests may detect a heart defect in a growing fetus.)
Make sure you:
- Have a healthy lifestyle
- Eat nutritious food and take prenatal vitamins
- Do not drink alcohol, smoke, or use drugs during pregnancy
- Practicing good hygiene and staying away from people who are sick
- Avoiding exposure to environmental toxins

Airbus is the world's leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military airlifters, having evolved during the past 40 years on the vision, innovation and passion of its employees.
A brief history of Airbus
The A300 became the world's first twin-engine widebody jet, entering airline service in 1974.
This was followed in the early 1980s by Airbus' shorter-fuselage A310 derivative, and was joined later that decade by the single-aisle A320 – which developed into one of the most successful aircraft families in history with the A318, A319, A320 and A321.
The 1990s saw Airbus introduce its long range A330/A340 jetliner Family, and a new era of airline travel started in 2007 when the 525-seat A380 began commercial operation.
Looking to the future, deliveries of Airbus' long-range twin-engine A350 XWB are expected to commence in 2013, while its military product line is expanding to include the A330 Multi-role Tanker Transport and the A400M.

Dell Studio XPS 435 review
Sporting Dell's strongest chassis design in years, our Studio XPS 435 review sample overcame our bias against jack-of-all-trades desktops. It's missing a few features, such as a second graphics card slot, but its decent performance means it's a good machine overall Read more

Dell Studio One 19 review
The 18.5-inch Studio One 19 brings some good ideas to the all-in-one-PC table, including an optional touchscreen. We're not massive fans of its appearance, but, if you're looking for a desktop PC that takes up relatively little space, is easy to set up and reduces cable clutter, it's well worth a look Read more

Advent Eco PC review
With petrol prices skyrocketing, there's no question: the cost of powering your electrical goods is getting higher and higher, too. Advent has released its Eco PC, a desktop computer that uses just 25W when idle. It comes in recycled packaging and has a few other features to help it run more efficiently, but it isn't cheap Read more

Shuttle XPC mini X 100 review
Shuttle's XPC mini X 100 is a lovely looking unit and a solid everyday machine -- it's the smallest, sleekest range the company has produced to date. Arguably the best aspect of its performance is its quiet operation. It's barely audible when idling and doesn't get much louder when running demanding applications Read more

The sheer number of mid-range desktops available makes it difficult to make a buying decision, but it also means you can pick up bargains such as this Presario SR1729.

Tavern on the Square was rocking the night we visited. The happy-hour crowd spilled over to the few outdoor tables. Inside, the banter was loud and the music even louder. Uh oh. We surmised quickly that we were not going to have a quiet meal. The narrow dining room was barely separated from the bar.
Still, we persevered. The Canton Square restaurant—formerly Fins and a bunch of other places—is run by the same guys who own the impressive Blue Hill Tavern in Brewers Hill and has a former Blue Hill executive sous chef in the kitchen. Surely, there would be good food to come. And despite a few gaffes, that assumption held true.
Once we made our way through the knots of people in the front, a bartender waved us to a side area with bare tables, dark woods lightened with pale-colored walls, and iconic Baltimore photographs by the acclaimed A. Aubrey Bodine. The place is casual, apropos of its central Canton location. We picked a seat and perused the menu. We were immediately intrigued by the wild-game-heavy list that also has Asian leanings.
When I asked co-owner Mel Carter about the focus on local game when the restaurant opened in January, he said, "I grew up with it. My family was big into fishing and hunting in Maryland."
There is also an assortment of tempting bar snacks, paninis, sandwiches, and grilled pizzas. We were going for a bigger meal. We started with sautéed wild mushrooms—big and chunky—tossed with a creamy Boursin cheese mix and served with thick slices of toasted French bread. The spread was as intoxicating as a bottle of champagne. We couldn't stop eating it.
We really wanted to try the pheasant-and-waffle appetizer, which promised a cornflake-fried pheasant leg, buttermilk waffle, and roasted-pheasant gravy. But, alas, a broken waffle iron kept us from checking out this intriguing dish. Maybe next time.
We then decided on Thai lettuce wraps, three crisp leaves cradling aromatic peanut-braised chunks of chicken and pickled vegetable kimchee—a treat, indeed. But our main dishes arrived before we finished, and we had to scoot the appetizers out of the way to make room for the new arrivals. It's a good thing we were seated at a table for four. The plates were piling up faster than a Daytona crash.
That could have happened because the food is delivered by runners from the kitchen who quickly hurry back for their next delivery, and the servers were juggling too many tables. It's not as chaotic as it might sound. Co-owner Carter was a presence in the dining room when we visited and was making sure diners got their meals in good order.
We were soon distracted by our excellent entrees. The wild-boar chops, french cut like lamb chops with the bone exposed, were succulent morsels. The brandied braised apple slices gussied up the meat with a touch of sweetness. And the sweet-potato fries provided crunch. We would have liked some greens, though.
The thick chunks of wasabi-pea-encrusted tuna fillets were great foils for roasted baby bok choy, piquant shredded carrots, and a soy-ginger glaze. The flavors married successfully.
Desserts are limited, but the made-in-house lemon-cream pie was all we needed. The refreshing slice with a most tender crust had bits of rind in the filling, providing a tangy, satisfying ending.
On another visit, we weren't so successful with dessert. We opted for an oatmeal-cookie-ice-cream sandwich. The thick cookies were too hard to cut with a fork and knife. And the sandwich proved too ungainly to eat with our hands. We tried, but ended up looking like a messy toddler in the process.
We had much better luck with our starters and main dishes, where executive chef Jeremy Thatcher seems to shine. The duck-confit spring rolls were crispy on the outside but burst with moist flavor with each bite. Shreds of melt-in-your-mouth duck partnered with chopped Napa cabbage, carrots, and celery. Each delectable roll was drizzed with teriyaki ginger sauce.
The cracker-crusted fried oysters, juicy and slithery, were fine by themselves, but the herb-laced mignonette mayo was a fresh alternative to traditional cocktail sauce.
We were quite excited to try the pheasant pot pie, which showcased pieces of braised pheasant, onions, peas, mushrooms, and leeks in a rich pheasant gravy. The presentation was gorgeous. A bronze puff pastry covered the contents, which were served in an orange ceramic skillet.
Our other entree, grilled salmon with tomatillo sauce, was equally delicious with a center-cut fillet bathed in a creamy coating. The accompanying chipotle rice worked by itself, but its strong flavor overpowered the delicate fish.
For its part, Tavern on the Square is capitalizing on the flavor of the neighborhood. It's a comfortable watering hole for the locals who want fun drinks and munchies, but also suits the just-home-from-work professionals and families looking for a creative menu.
With a few tweaks, we think the owners and the chef will have nailed it. And the noise? We can live with that.

Both are rescues. Turner is a 13 year old Beagle-Great Dane mix. He is very laid back, and is happy we are done moving for a little bit (we are military, and he just made his last big trip from Germany to the US). Lady is a 12 year old Dachshund, who is always hungry and loves our son Sean-Michael. She sleeps with him, cuddles with him and is demanding her TV time with him.

Totally enjoyed ourselves. The place is very clean and the staff really try to accommodate. Easy access to the beach. Except for the renovations, it is quite quiet. The owners really try to take care of their place. Will definitely go back. We go at least once a year.

We had made a specific reservation 2 months in advance. When we got here they put us by the highway. All that was here were people walking their dogs and not minding if their dogs used your area to relieve themselves. The host were not friendly at all. We left early and will never go back.

The barber, the beer and Ol' Doc
Published on Wed, Apr 1, 2009 by
Jim Follis
Read More
Stan is a retired barber but still performs about 20 cuts a week. The price of a cut (out in the workshop) is merely a 12- or 18-pack of beer.
For Stan, the camaraderie and the beer make it a better payday than when he was working. Naturally, no one is welcome whose politics stray from the Fox News Channel right. And if you aren't a hunter, don't even bother to risk a visit; you'll be ridiculed out of town.
If you're lucky, there'll be a collection of ol' boys waiting their turn or just stopping by for the guaranteed safe haven for a cool one or two.
I stop by just to get a glimpse of this slice of
America. These guys are fun-loving, highly opinionated and tough as John Wayne's tutor. Only their wives and mothers know their soft sides. Here they are as hard as nails and as brilliant as all of Einstein and more.
"Hey Doc, how ya doin'? Haven't seen you around for a while - and you look like it too, you furry little rodent," greets ever-bubbling Stan, the head barber.
"Don't talk to me, you miserable son of a she dog. The last two times I've come here, the gate was locked, and I had to back all the way down the road.
"Today I stopped and paid 50 cents just to call your miserable number to make sure you were at home. I'm taking the cost of the phone call and the wear and tear out of your fee too, by damn," ranted the Doc in his multi-decibel voice.
"Are all those tire marks down there yours?" asked Stan. "And by the way, are you the one that took out those rose bushes down there, too?"
"Eat it, barber boy. Just don't lock your damn gate all the time. How do you expect us to get a beer if the gate is closed?"
Doc was in his 80s and looked it, but not in his eyes - bright blue and full of fire. He still loved the ladies and always had real live testimonials to prove it. He was by all accounts, even by his detesters, a damn fine veterinarian.
"Yeah, I think I got fired again. They said they'd call me if they needed me next week. I guess I don't sell enough stuff to suit 'em.
"Yesterday this lady brought in one of them lap dogs and they charged her 400 bucks to have his teeth cleaned. I told 'em the damn dog didn't need it. That made 'em mad, I think.
"The day before that, this lady called the owner and whined that I had told them to shoot their dog. Now I never said that. What I did tell them was that they may as well shoot their dog right now and save a pile of money if they were going to keep feeding him all their table scraps. The chubby ole momma musta heard me thinking about how porky she was."
"Ol' Doc was never much on bedside manners,"
observed Stan the barber, for the benefit of the waiting audience.
"Guess I'll go on down to Oregon and make some beer money," reported Doc as he groaned his way out of the barber chair. "But the drug companies are getting a little cheap on their samples, so I don't have many to sell."
"What's the matter, Doc?" quizzed the barber, "Have they cut you off Viagra finally?"
"Whatshu mean, Viagra," he bellowed. "I've never needed Viagra."
Smoke and venom poured out of baby blue eyes and his Milwaukee tumor stomach heaved with the exertion of his anger.
"Barber-boy, I'm gonna de-flower you one of these days and everybody'll be thanking me for it."
"I doubt it," responded Stan. "What about that contractor whose pickup you borrowed that time when you got drunk and crashed yours? He wasn't too happy when the police called him to come get his truck, stuck in the snowdrift in front of that lady's house. You'll lose yours long before mine are in any danger."
With that Doc rumbled on out of the shop headed for his heap of a pickup. He never had anything old because he usually destroyed them before they got old; but they all were cast in his image - pieces of work. This newer Ford 250 pickup, with the long wheelbase, had four different size tires on it and a camper shell that covered a landfill's worth of refuse.
Within minutes the warning went up that Doc was out back trying to turn around. The workshop of men spilled out like moonshiners during a raid. Doc couldn't back up in an elevator and his reputation was known far and wide. Sure enough, he had knocked over the barbecue, driven over a pile of lumber and was dangerously close to demolishing the smokehouse.
"Good Golly Miss Molly," yelled Stan the barber, "Get out of the truck before you destroy my whole place, you pill-pushing pin head."
As Stan replaced Doc in his truck, he was kicking rubbish out of the way on the floor boards cussing up a cloud of obscenities that all related to Doc and the number of times Stan had rescued him over the years.
With Doc safely pointed in the right direction, down the hill aimed towards home, the stories went around the room about old Doc Davis. Each story brought a round of laughs and always the exclamation of what a fine vet he was and what he had done for each of them.
I guess our world is getting too proper for the likes of Doc, but won't we miss him and the stories he generates?
