Referring to Holy Rosary Institute as "sacred ground" is justified, so too is the need for restoring, after a decade's worth of neglect, the historic structure that once housed an all-black boarding school.
But it was The IND's questions about House Bill 420 (all stemming from its lack of details and a refusal by its author to shed any light on the matter to this newspaper and other media) that ultimately killed the effort to help Holy Rosary, says Lafayette Democratic state Reps. Vincent Pierre and Terry Landry — coverage they said constitutes "propaganda." The blame game didn't stop there.
|Photos by Patrick Flanagan
|Reps. Terry Landry, left, and Vincent Pierre, seated, during a press conference this morning at Holy Rosary Institute
"We had a dialogue going with all the stakeholders until one faction in this community stood up and made it like we were trying to take money, like we were doing something unconstitutional, like we were taking money from non-profits, while all we want is a share of the hotel/motel tax," said Landry while speaking before a crowd of about 30 people during a press conference Friday morning at Holy Rosary. "From the start we didn't want to bring the media into it. We wanted to bring the bill based on its merits."
Due to its brevity, the only identifiable merit of HB 420 was that it cast much-needed attention on the deteriorating condition of Holy Rosary. In calling for a redirection of $200,000 from the Cajundome's cut of Lafayette Parish's hotel/motel tax, however, details were slim, making no mention of the actual restoration plans, and aside from naming the non-profit Holy Rosary Redevelopment (not the property's owner) as the sole benefactor of the funds, it was void of any oversight protections.
All of those issues were remedied once the bill made its way out of the Senate. Following an agreement in the Senate Finance Committee that the bill would need fixing before proceeding, an amended version was drafted by Sens. Page Cortez and Elbert Guillory. Unlike the original bill, the amended version called for the creation of an oversight committee, which would be charged with distributing grants specifically for the purpose of restoring historic buildings like Holy Rosary, as well as fund tourism attractions like museums. But nowhere in the bill was Holy Rosary mentioned.
The amended version was unanimously approved by the Senate Wednesday, and that, according to inside sources present on the Senate floor that day, is when things got heated.
The IND spoke with several eye-witnesses, all of whom asked not to be identified. According to one source, Pierre said he was "angrier than Hurricane Katrina" on the Senate floor Wednesday right after the revised version of his bill received unanimous approval, giving a tongue lashing to state Sen. Elbert Guillory and Senate President John Alario. The majority of Pierre's anger, however, was directed at Guillory, who, according to our sources, was forced to call in the sargent of arms — similar to a legislative peace officer — who then escorted Pierre from the Senate floor.
In a phone interview Friday morning, Guillory confirms Pierre's comments. According to Guillory, "the young man's" actions did catch the attention of the sargent of arms, who took Pierre by the arm and escorted him from the room. Guillory, who switched from Democrat to Republican during the session, believes "rookie-itis" ultimately led to Pierre's reaction to the bill's revisions.
Guillory says the "rookie-itis" of Pierre and Landry started with their introducing the legislation without conferring with local senators and stakeholders who stood to be affected by the bill, along with their call for redirecting much-needed funds from the Cajundome to a non-profit without the needed 501(c)3 status. Furthermore, says Guillory, there was no source of matching funds in place to justify the redistribution.
"They just went about it with about bringing anyone else to the table," Guillory adds.
Though no mention of the incident on the Senate floor Wednesday was made during this morning's press conference, Pierre did express his anger with what he described as a "highjacking" of his bill.
"They took this bill and totally gutted out everything we planned ... and created their own initiatives. That isn't fair," said Pierre. "There's already a large group of non-profits getting those funds, but now the game has changed that we want some of those funds, too."
|State Rep. Vincent Pierre
In addition to laying some blame on the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce for its lobbying efforts, Pierre, like the speech delivered just minutes before by Landry, also claimed at today's press conference that the bill's failure stemmed from a distortion of the truth by one media outlet — left unnamed by both reps — and an unidentified former state rep.
With Holy Rosary removed from any mention in the amended version (the likely cause of Pierre's temper tantrum), the legislation by Cortez appears more like a fix to the existing legislation, drafted in the 1990s, concerning the distribution of Lafayette's hotel/motel tax dollars. Cortez tells The IND that despite the House's refusal to vote on the amended bill Thursday, which ultimately led to its demise, he plans to reintroduce the legislation during next year's session, citing the need to better define how Lafayette's hotel/motel tax dollars are distributed.
"One thing that surfaced with all this is there's no way for historic buildings in our parish ... buildings like Holy Rosary and the Alexander Mouton home, to leverage state tax dollars for restoration and for making them into area tourism [attractions]," says Cortez. "I will probably be bringing legislation next year to do exactly what the amendments [to HB 420] would've done."
Landry and Pierre have similar plans, both vowing Friday to do the same with HB 420, which they'll also be reintroducing, though in its original form, during next year's session.

Ella Maxwell of Hoerr Nursery stops in to see Garry Moore to discuss Pots. If terracotta pots are left outside over winter, they get hairline cracks. If you need an outdoor planter year-round, concrete is recommended. It's important with any planter to have a drainage hole at the bottom, and concrete pot risers will provide enough space for draining. There are plastic, lightweight pots, which are self-watering by containing a reservoir at the bottom; these can be used for indoor plants. You can also utilize a plastic saucer, which will allow extra water to run off and give the plant the necessary oxygen it needs.

Sessions 50th Anniversary Cruise by Sessions - about 6 years ago
"I had these tees made for our family cruise in early June. We were celebrating my in-laws 50th anniversary. I put them in gift bags and our room steward helped me sneak them into their cabins on the first evening so it was a total surprise. At first I got some moans and groans (mostly from the men in the family who think they are too macho for matching family shirts). But I worked with a very helpful representative from custom ink who helped me pick out a color and design that wasn't too flashy or feminine. They were a big hit. Even the men admitted it. My sister-in-law with four kids says they have become a favorite in their household and it seems like every day one of them is wearing the "cruise shirt." Thanks, CustomInk!"

Chocolate Chip Pancakes
6 comments:
very rarely do I eat chocolate, or chocolate chips for that matter, any more - BUT muffins or pancakes with chips? YES YES YES! awesome looking pancakes.ReplyDelete
Those turned out so well! Picture perfect!ReplyDelete
Melissa - I really enjoy a good chocolate chip pancake now and then, but only homemade. I've found when I order them out they use too much chocolate.ReplyDelete
Katie - Thanks! :)ReplyDelete
Chocolate chip pancakes are, by far, my favorite comfort food. My dad used to make them for me Saturday mornings if I had been good the week before, and they were always a special treat. Whenever I miss my dad, who lives 2000 miles away, I make myself some chocolate chip pancakes. :)ReplyDelete
Tara - They always bring me back to my childhood. My mom would make them on weekends and I used to love adding the chips as the batter started to cook. :)ReplyDelete

Mouth News
Free Show
Cowboy Mouth is playing a FREE SHOW at Hal's Harley Davidson in New Berlin, WI on August 31st! Details can be found at the Hal's Harley Davidson website.
All Heart
I first met John Thomas Griffith at a club called Ziggy's in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 2011. At that point I had been working with the band for only a month or so. We hung out before the show so I could interview him for content for social media and their website. This also became a get-to-know you session. Among other things, I talked about our son, Max, who is a special needs child, and how he plays in a baseball league for kids with special needs called The Miracle League of the Triangle.
John Thomas said, "Wait here a second." And he left the room. He came back holding a small, wooden bat. A big baseball fan, John Thomas had just taken a tour of the Louisville Slugger factory and got a mini-bat as a souvenir.
He said, "I want Max to have this."
During the show that night he introduced "Everybody Loves Jill" by saying, "He isn't here tonight, but his parents are. This is for a kid named Max who likes the color red."
There are a number of egotistical, high-maintenance people in the music business. John Thomas Griffith is not one of them. He and the rest of the Cowboy Mouth organization have class and heart. - Cris Cohen
Fearless Radio Interview
"It's like I always say: A Cowboy Mouth show is not about the people on the stage. It's about the feeling in the audience. All I ask of anybody who is on stage with us is just to give your very best ... Cause that's the energy that I want coming forward when people see Cowboy Mouth."
Listen to Fred's interview with Fearless Radio
"GO!" is now available! We can't wait for you to hear this album!
iTunes: http://smarturl.it/go-itunes
Amazon cd: http://smarturl.it/go-cd-amazon

A moment with Fred
Shout it from the rooftops! Our new album, "Go!", will be released June 10th! Pre-order it now on iTunes and you can immediately download the single "Do You Wanna Do It Right Now"!
This Friday!
Why is Casandra smiling so wide? Because John Thomas Griffith is back! Thank you to everyone who came to this weekend's shows.
Focus On Positive Things
Ever since day one with Cowboy Mouth, I've tried to focus on positive things because that's just an energy that feeds on itself. We can sit there and talk about things that we all deal with like breakups or this or that but at the end of the day, it's the audience feeling 1,000 times better than when they first got there. That for me is what I always wanted to do. - Fred

Found January 24, 2013 on Buckeye Empire:
TEAMS: Ohio State Buckeyes
On Wednesday, one of the most incredible Twitter trollings ever took place in the Twittersphere. A man named Bronko was trolled almost continually by Buckeyes and Wolverines alike. Some background on Mr. Bronko: he claims to be a Michigan graduate and alumnus, but judging by his ignorance and incapability of proper grammar, I wouldn't believe it. He also claims that it is his phone keyboard that forces him to sound ignorant, another doubt I have in his story. Bronko has been suspended from many other Twitter handles for his unceasing ignorance, and yet always finds a way to come back into the Twitterverse and spew ignorance like lava. Bronko, as he call himself, now operates under the Twitter handle @GoBlue_Bronko and continues to amass a massive following. This massive following, (no, not followers, he only has around 30 followers… following), has been created thanks to his less than stellar grammar and his extreme hatred for "Ohio" trolls. Wednesday night, Buckeyes and Wolverines made a rare exception to join forces and troll this Bronko to yet another Twitter suspension. All sorts of Buckeye and Wolverine accounts took this Bronko's "avi", avatar for all of you non-Twitter people, and made it their own. There were various pictures taken of people's timelines (I'm not explaining the timeline concept to you Twitterless folk), all of which contained pictures of the Bronko avi in consecutive tweets from different users. It was truly an epic trolling, one of the finest I've ever seen. People that aren't necessarily involved in Buckeye Nation were even impressed by the trolling that occurred. The trolling continues today with numerous people taking every tweet of Mr. Bronko's and making some sort of joke or remark about it. Unfortunately, Mr. Bronko isn't what all Michigan fans are like, it would be too easy if they were, and I'm sure there are Buckeye fans who are more alike Mr. Bronko than we would like to think. The point is that, the Twittersphere often showcases some of the constant rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan. There are many people who go back and forth at an almost constant pace about recruits, teams, games and so forth, and can often get a bit violent. What Bronko teaches us, however, is that there is a line of ignorance that one cannot cross. Sure, we can get angry and the rivalry can live on in the Twitter-world, but at the end of the day both Buckeyes and Wolverines alike can recognize that a certain level of ignorance is just too much. Unfortunately, Mr. Bronko has crossed that line, and will most likely cross it again. We will see whether or not he gets another Twitter account suspended, but in the meantime we can "laugh" at the ignorance coming from @GoBlue_Bronko. The best part is we can laugh as people, not as Buckeyes and Wolverines. It may seem like if I don't hate Michigan from this piece; that is entirely false. Go Buckeyes!

Wearable Tech Expo
On Thursday, July 24th, 2014 I spoke at Wearable Tech Expo, at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. My talk was titled Design Matters: Industrial Design & Product Styling in Wearable Tech, as part of a panel titled Do You See What I See: Head-mounted Wearables. My slides are shown above.
Thesis: When it comes to wearables, good design, not superior engineering, will decide the winners. This will be true even in the Enterprise. If we want wearables to succeed in the consumer space, they must be stylish, and validation will come not through the tech industry but through the fashion industry.
Conclusion: When I engage with many of my peers in the wearables space, they frequently tout the sensors in their device that their competitors lack, or their new algorithm that's going to separate them from the pack. I would counter that no matter your technological mojo, if nobody beyond the early-adopter set is willing to wear your device, you will fail. Particularly when I'm on the west coast, in Silicon Valley, there is a casual dismissal of product styling as something that is merely subjective …
I would like to highlight the work of a couple of peers I met at the expo.
Anna Perelman, CEO and Co-Founder of Stelle Audio Couture makes a series of well designed audio products, most noteworthy, the Stelle Clutch — as the name implies, this speaker system takes the form of a woman's clutch that pops open into a blue tooth speaker system. The Stelle Clutch competes with products like the Nonobject designed BOOM by Ultimate Ears or the Jawbone Jambox. While both of these are well designed products, Stelle takes advantage of an untapped opportunity in the market to make a speaker designed to appeal to the sensibilities of stylish women.
I also met Kristi Gaudio, a member of the design team that created the Diane von Furstenberg eye-frames for Google Glass. The fashion industry, particularly in the accessories space, operates via a web of relationships between fashion brands, manufacturers and product design firms, where many companies are often involved in the making of a single product. To make the DVF Google Glass frames, Diane von Furstenberg
The wearables industry as a whole has a branding problem. Rather than give commentary, I'm simply going to share these three images below, and let them speak for themselves.
Following Wearable Tech Expo, Danielle and I walked down to Chelsea for the Thursday evening Chelsea Gallery Walk. In addition to the completely immersive digital installation by teamLab at PACE Gallery's Ultra Subjective Space, and my friend Michael Lyons Wier's festive opening party for their Summer Group Show of Conceptual Representationalism (photorealism with a narrative), we hit over a dozen openings, concluding with a stroll up the High Line.
One installation in particular that caught our eye was another Summer Group Show, this one at UNIX Gallery. UNIX represents contemporary artists "with compelling, unique visions who utilize exquisite artistic execution" — the intersection where high-craftsmanship pop-art meets social commentary. Ellen de Meijer's Shared Sight, brought the evening full circle.
[Editor's Note: The painting is still available for sale. To inquire for pricing, contact UNIX Gallery.]

SEPs: A Quick and Easy Retirement Plan Option
Setting up and maintaining a simplified employee pension (SEP) is probably easier than you think. The sooner you get started saving, the more secure your retirement will be, plus your business can gain tax advantages right away.
SEP Basics
The SEP is a stripped-down retirement plan mainly intended for self-employed individuals (including sole proprietors, partners, and LLC members), as well as small corporate employers.
If you're self-employed, you can make an annual deductible contribution of up to 20 percent of self-employment income to a SEP account. For this purpose, self-employment income generally equals the net profit shown on your Schedule C, E, or F, minus the deduction for 50 percent of self-employment tax from page one of Form 1040.
If you're employed by an S or C corporation, the company must establish the SEP on your behalf. The corporation can then make a deductible contribution of up to 25 percent of your salary to your SEP account.
For 2014, the maximum possible contribution to any participant's SEP account is $52,000 (up from $51,000 in 2013).
The Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages: You can establish a SEP at just about any brokerage firm or financial institution. Simply fill out Form 5305-SEP, which takes only a few minutes. It doesn't get any easier than this. Even better, you can establish a SEP as late as the extended due date of the federal income tax return for the year the initial deductible contribution will be made.
Here's an example, assuming you are a sole proprietor. You extend your 2013 individual tax return as long as possible, to October 15, 2014. You have until that date to establish your 2013 SEP and make the initial contribution. You can then deduct that contribution on your 2013 return. Contributions for later years can also be deferred until the extended tax return due date.
If you run your business as a calendar-year corporation, you can extend the 2014 corporate return to as late as September 15, 2015. The corporation has until that date to establish the SEP and make the initial contribution. The company can then deduct that amount on its 2014 Form 1120. Contributions for later years can also be deferred until the extended due date for the corporate return.
If you have a large amount of self-employment income or salary, a SEP allows you to make generous annual deductible contributions to the account, as much as $52,000 for 2014 (up from $51,000 in 2013). However, you always have the flexibility to contribute less than the tax-law maximum, or nothing at all, if cash is tight in your business.
Once your SEP is up and running, there are very few administrative details to worry about.
Employees Eligible for SEP Inclusion are Those Who Have:
Reached age 21.
Worked at least three of the last five years immediately preceding the current year.
Earned at least $550 in compensation from your company in the year for which contributions are made (unchanged from 2013).
Nonresident alien employees having no U.S. source income from your firm.
Employees covered by collective bargaining, if retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining.
The government doesn't currently require any annual filings for SEPs, as it does for some other types of retirement plans.
Disadvantages: Depending on your age and income, you might be allowed to make larger annual deductible contributions to a personal retirement account with a different plan, such as a 401(k), a SIMPLE-IRA, or a defined benefit pension plan.
If your business has employees, contributions — which are fully deductible to you — are generally required for those who have worked for you during at least three of the past five years (see right-hand box for exceptions). Also, since all contributions to employee SEP accounts vest immediately, an employee can quit at any time without losing any of his or her SEP money. That's great for the employee. But if you have more than a few trusted staff members, you may want to consider a different retirement plan option.
Another potential drawback is that borrowing from a SEP account is prohibited. In contrast, borrowing is allowed under most other types of retirement plans (with the exception of SIMPLE IRAs), assuming the plan document permits loans.
Conclusion: If you want maximum simplicity from a tax-favored retirement plan, a SEP may be the best choice. Of course, that is, assuming you don't mind covering your employees. A SEP is your only choice if you want to make a deductible contribution for last year, even though no plan was actually in existence at the end of last year. Contact your tax adviser to learn more about SEPs or to hear about other retirement plan alternatives for your business.
Questions to ask your tax preparer
Great article on Forbes today about 11 questions to ask when hiring a tax preparer and I agree on the 11 questions you should ask your tax preparer or potential tax preparer and we got your answers and we've added an additional question and answer.
- Do you have a valid PTIN? Yes, we do and you can check for valid PTIN on the PTIN Directory
- What is your tax background? Check out our qualifications
- Have you prepared a tax return before for my type of situation? If we have never done your type of tax return or special circumstances, we will tell you up-front that it might be an extra cost or we will need to consultant with a specialist in that area. We do have several resources and other CPA firms we can contact to help with specialized tax returns and if we can't help you, we will refer you to someone that can.
- Do you know the requirements of the state and localities where I am required to file? We do know Federal Tax Law, California Tax Law and New Mexico Tax Law. Each state has quirky filing requirements and as part of our due diligence, we do research and learn about a specific state law or requirement before filing.
- What records and other documentation do you need from me? We send out a tax list of required documents at the beginning of each year to each of our clients, since every client is different, everyone gets a different list. However for a new client, we send a generic tax planner and then ask questions regarding the answers. We need documentation to verify income and expenses. We will ask to see receipts and will ask multiple questions to determine whether expenses, deductions and other items qualify.
- How do you determine your fees? Our fees are a flat fee based on the type of return and the complexity of your return.
- Do you review my tax return with me before its filed? Yes, we send you a copy of your tax return for review and amounts owed if any before we file your tax return
- Can you file electronically? We are required by the IRS to file electronically unless you opt out
- Who will sign your return? We do, as a paid tax preparer with a valid PTIN, we are required to sign the electronically filed return
- When will I receive a copy of my tax return? You will receive a copy of your tax return 1 week after the e-file is accepted via email. If you require a hard copy print out, just let us know.
- How do I find you if I have a question after tax season? That's easy, just call us, we're always here.
- What happens if I get audited? If you should happen to get audit, we can represent you before the IRS for any tax return we have preparer.
What Income in Nontaxable?
Most types of income are taxable, but some are not. Income can include money, property or services that you receive. Here are some examples of income that are usually not taxable:
- Child support payments;
- Gifts, bequests and inheritances;
- Welfare benefits;
- Damage awards for physical injury or sickness;
- Cash rebates from a dealer or manufacturer for an item you buy; and
- Reimbursements for qualified adoption expenses.
Some income is not taxable except under certain conditions. Examples include:
Life insurance proceeds paid to you because of an insured person's death are usually not taxable. However, if you redeem a life insurance policy for cash, any amount that is more than the cost of the policy is taxable.
Income you get from a qualified scholarship is normally not taxable. Amounts you use for certain costs, such as tuition and required course books, are not taxable. However, amounts used for room and board are taxable.
All income, such as wages and tips, is taxable unless the law specifically excludes it. This includes non-cash income from bartering, such as the exchange of property or services. Both parties must include the fair market value of goods or services received as income on their tax return.
If you received a refund, credit or offset of state or local income taxes in 2012, you may be required to report this amount. If you did not receive a 2012 Form 1099-G, check with the government agency that made the payments to you. That agency may have made the form available only in an electronic format. You will need to get instructions from the agency to retrieve this document. Report any taxable refund you received even if you did not receive Form 1099-G.
A time of transition, changing jobs may lower your taxes
September is often a time of transition, when people decide to make major life decisions–such as changing jobs. If you're looking for a new job, then you may be able to claim a tax deduction for some of your job hunting expenses–as long as it's in your same line of work.
Here are seven things you need to know about deducting these costs:
1. Your expenses must be for a job search in your current occupation. You may not deduct expenses related to a search for a job in a new occupation. If your employer or another party reimburses you for an expense, you may not deduct it.
2. You can deduct employment and job placement agency fees you pay while looking for a job.
3. You can deduct the cost of preparing and mailing copies of your resume to prospective employers.
4. If you travel to look for a new job, you may be able to deduct your travel expenses. However, you can only deduct them if the trip is primarily to look for a new job.
5. You can't deduct job search expenses if there was a substantial break between the end of your last job and the time you began looking for a new one.
6. You can't deduct job search expenses if you're looking for a job for the first time.
7. You will usually claim job search expenses as a miscellaneous itemized deduction, but can deduct only the amount of your total miscellaneous deductions that exceed two percent of your adjusted gross income.
Which Moving Expenses are Deductible?
If you moved due to a change in your job or business location, or because you started a new job or business, you may be able to deduct your reasonable moving expenses; however, you may not deduct any expenses for meals. If you meet the requirements of the tax law for the deduction of moving expenses, you can deduct allowable expenses for a move to the area of a new main job location within the United States or its possessions. Your move may be from one United States location to another or from a foreign country to the United States.
Note: The rules applicable to moving within or to the United States are different from the rules that apply to moves outside the United States. These rules are discussed separately.
To qualify for the moving expense deduction, you must satisfy three requirements.
Under the first requirement, your move must closely relate to the start of work. Generally, you can consider moving expenses within one year of the date you first report to work at a new job location. Additional rules apply to this requirement. Please contact us if you need assistance understanding this requirement.
The second requirement is the "distance test"; your new workplace must be at least 50 miles farther from your old home than your old job location was from your old home. For example, if your old main job location was 12 miles from your former home, your new main job location must be at least 62 miles from that former home. If you had no previous workplace, your new job location must be at least 50 miles from your old home.
The third requirement is the "time test". If you are an employee, you must work full-time for at least 39 weeks during the first 12 months immediately following your arrival in the general area of your new job location. If you are self-employed, you must work full time for at least 39 weeks during the first 12 months and for a total of at least 78 weeks during the first 24 months immediately following your arrival in the general area of your new work location. There are exceptions to the time test in case of death, disability and involuntary separation, among other things. And, if your income tax return is due before you have satisfied this requirement, you can still deduct your allowable moving expenses if you expect to meet the time test.
Note: If you are a member of the armed forces and your move was due to a military order and permanent change of station, you do not have to satisfy the "distance or time tests".
What Are "Reasonable" Expenses?
You can deduct only those expenses that are reasonable under the circumstances of your move. For example, the cost of traveling from your former home to your new one should be by the shortest, most direct route available by conventional transportation. If during your trip to your new home, you make side trips for sight-seeing, the additional expenses for your side trips are not deductible as moving expenses.
You can deduct the cost of packing, crating and transporting your household goods and personal property, and you may be able to include the cost of storing and insuring these items while in transit. You may also deduct costs of connecting or disconnecting utilities.
Tip: You can include the cost of storing and insuring household goods and personal effects within any period of 30 consecutive days after the day your things are moved from your former home and before they are delivered to your new home.
Tip: You can deduct the cost of shipping your car and your pets to your new home.
Nondeductible expenses. You cannot deduct as moving expenses any part of the purchase price of your new home, the costs of buying or selling a home, or the cost of entering into or breaking a lease. Don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about which expenses are deductible.
Reimbursed expenses. If your employer reimburses you for the costs of a move for which you took a deduction, you may have to include the reimbursement as income on your tax return.
Travel Expenses – How to Calculate the Deduction
If you use your car to take yourself, members of your household, or your personal effects to your new home, you can figure your expenses by deducting either:
- Your actual expenses, such as gas and oil for your car, if you keep an accurate record of each expense, or
- The standard mileage rate is 24 cents per mile for miles driven during 2013 (23 cents per mile in 2012).
Tip: If you choose the standard mileage rate you can deduct parking fees and tolls you pay in moving. You cannot deduct any general repairs, general maintenance, insurance, or depreciation for your car.
You can deduct the cost of transportation and lodging for yourself and members of your household while traveling from your former home to your new home. This includes expenses for the day you arrive. You can include any lodging expenses you had in the area of your former home within one day after you could not live in your former home because your furniture had been moved. You can deduct expenses for only one trip to your new home for yourself and members of your household; however, all of you do not have to travel together.
Member of Your Household
You can deduct moving expenses you pay for yourself and members of your household. A member of your household is anyone who has both your former and new home as his or her home. It does not include a tenant or employee, unless you can claim that person as a dependent.

Renting out a Vacation Home
Tax rules on rental income from second homes can be complicated, particularly if you rent the home out for several months of the year, but also use the home yourself.
There is however, one provision that is not complicated. Homeowners who rent out their property for 14 or fewer days a year can pocket the rental income, tax-free.
Known as the "Master's exemption", because it is used by homeowners, near the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, GA who rent out their homes during the Master's Tournament (for as much as $20,000!). It is also used by homeowners who rent out their homes for movie productions or those whose residences are located near Super Bowl sites or national political conventions.
Tip: If you live close to a vacation destination such as the beach or mountains, you may be able to make some extra cash by renting out your home (principal residence) when you go on vacation–as long as it's two weeks or less. And, although you can't take depreciation or deduct for maintenance, you can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes on Schedule A.
In general, income from rental of a vacation home for 15 days or longer must be reported on your tax return on Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss. You should also keep in mind that the definition of a "vacation home" is not limited to a house. Apartments, condominiums, mobile homes, and boats are also considered vacation homes in the eyes of the IRS.
Further, the IRS states that a vacation home is considered a residence if personal use exceeds 14 days or more than 10% of the total days it is rented to others (if that figure is greater). When you use a vacation home as your residence and also rent it to others, you must divide the expenses between rental use and personal use, and you may not deduct the rental portion of the expenses in excess of the rental income.
Example: Let's say you own a house in the mountains and rent it out during ski season, typically between mid-December and mid-April. You and your family also vacation at the house for one week in October and two weeks in August. The rest of the time the house is unused.
The family uses the house for 21 days and it is rented out to others for 121 days for a total of 142 days of use during the year. In this scenario 85% of expenses such as mortgage interest, property taxes, maintenance, utilities, and depreciation can be written off against the rental income on Schedule E. As for the remaining 15% of expenses, only the owner's mortgage interest and property taxes are deductible on Schedule A.
Questions about vacation home rental income? Give us a call. We'll help you figure it out.
AIRBNB Rental Income
Rental income is usually taxable under the Federal tax laws. But there is an exception if you rent out a home that you use as a home and the home is rented less than 15 days during the year. The exception is that rental income and rental expenses are not reported on your return at all. This allows a person to rent out his or her home for a short period of time with no tax consequences.
In addition to renting the home 14 or fewer days during the year, you must use the home for personal purposes more than the greater of 14 days or 10% of the total days it is rented to others at a fair rental price. This is no problem if you are temporarily renting out one spare room in a home that you live in. But for second homes or vacation homes, you need to keep track of your days.
2013 Mileage Rates
The standard mileage rates for calculating deductible costs for using a car, van, pickup or lightweight "panel" truck is 56.5 cents per mile for business travel.
For other potentially deductible driving-related expenses, the rates are 24 cents per mile for medical purposes or when moving to a new residence (following additional rules), and 14 cents per mile for driving in the service of a charitable organization.

!!Warning: Major Spoilers
[[WMG: Aria is on team A, or a part of it somehow.]]
All this began when Aria came back in town. She's also the last person we see in the credits, it's Aria putting her finger to her lips (a secret to hide as the body is being buried). Plus, one of the girls being in on it makes sense because there's so much unexplained otherwise. If it's one of the liars then we could understand how "A" gets every little bit of timing so perfectly. Aria seems the most likely to me.
[[WMG: The liars are behind everything, after all.]]
Plot twist! The liars ''really'' are behind Allison's murder (or if it's like the books, then [[spoiler: Courtney's murder]]. They had motive after all. A year ago, when they were younger, the liars all came up with a plan to get rid of Allison after she'd gone too far. Plus in this version maybe they knew about [[spoiler: Ian]] the whole time. Maybe the a-team is messing with them to try and avenge her death. Or they blacked out and don't remember themselves... (the pretty little liars)
[[WMG: Maya lied about her parents.]]
When Maya has dinner with the Feilds, she describes her parents as easy going, quirky hippie types. Why then would they get so freaked out about pot, as to send her to a Christian reform camp? Also from her descriptions it seems she likes them, which she would not if they were homophobic, why then would they send her to a CHRISTIAN reform camp?
** How do you know they were homophobic? They might just no want her to make the same mistakes they did.
[[WMG: Mike is gay.]]
And that's why he never shows up anywhere.
* Not true, he ended up being revealed as having felt up and made out with Hanna when they were younger, and has been dating Mona.
** Just because he was making out with Hanna and Mona doesn't mean he isn't gay. He might have a problem with accepting his orientation. Would explain his depression and his weird behavior in season 2. Also would explain why he was fascinated with Noel in season 1 and why he hanged out with him so often...
[[WMG: Mike is on drugs.]]
Which is why he's all strung out all the time and spaced out.
** This is actually confirmed as early as the first book but may not be true in the series
[[WMG: Mike got blackmailed by A to break into people's houses to protect his sister.]]
Which is why he won't tell anyone.
[[WMG: Mike is in love with his sister, which is why he's taking out his anger out on her friends.]]
And why he doesn't want to talk to anyone about it.
[[WMG: Alli visiting Hanna in the hospital (in episode 1x11) really happened.]]
Alli tells her she needs to do something about 'A', maybe 'A' is actually against Allison and her plans, making 'A' either chaotic good or perhaps if the twin story is still a go, one of the twins visited her (the good one). The visit was supposed to be out of genuine concern for her safety and the safety of the liars. Plus, Alli said that a perfect lie is always better than the truth and that sharing the truth with someone once ruined her life. So if this visit wasn't just in Hanna's imagination then perhaps A-Team is against Allison.
* Confirmed in season 4, Ali was alive after all. It wasn't that hard to guess.
[[WMG: Lucas will lose his virginity to Hanna in an identical way to their roleplay celibacy scene he was introduced in.]]
With or without Caleb watching.
[[WMG: Mona is ObfuscatingStupidity and will help figure out who A is.]]
Or she ''is'' A.
** But then what the hell does Mona ''want''? Let's assume she found Ali's diary and knows everyone's secrets... why become "A"? I get that she's angry for being ignored by these ''best friends'' when she wore glasses and braces and acted totally desperate to fit in... but what kind of ''idiot'' would devote ''soo much'' time and energy to this whole "blackmail operation"??
*** Well, if they follow the plot of the books, it would make sense as to why Mona is A.
** As the series goes on, it's very obvious that A is no longer after them for blackmail or revenge or whatever else any more. A's new goal is to keep them from learning about something.
*** A recent episode had her break into the assistant principals office, spot a fraudulent piece of bribery from a couple of spreadsheets, then use it to blackmail said assistant principal. Clearly smarter than she lets on for the general populace.
** Confirmed. Mona is A.. or at least part of the group who make up A.
*** Her motivation this time seems to be different though. It seems that this time she just really wants Hanna, her first friend, all to herself and will do anything to make it so.
*** Which is rather ridiculous when you consider that she pretty much ''had'' Hanna all to herself until she started the A scheme. Odds are if the girls hadn't received any messages, they wouldn't have hung out together at all.
[[WMG: All the girls' phones and homes are ''bugged'']]... and the bugs and cameras are tiny and/or invisible which is why they haven't been found yet. How else are we going to explain A's God-like omniscience??
** This one actually seems to be confirmed for Hanna's phone as of the latest episode
[[WMG: Ali has a twin]]
Ok, this isn't a wild guess, I know this is what happens in the books. But that still doesn't explain the mom's attitude, and where the heck is Alison's Dad? Did Alison's Mom and Spencer's Dad have an affair? Are Ali and her twin Hasting's daughters?
** Well Ali and Spencer are not twins and in the series Ali is not Peter's daughter. Jason is his son though.
** It's confirmed that Alison's mom and Spencer's dad had an affair, but Jason was the result of it, not Ali. And Alison's dad (Kenneth) finally appears in Season 3, in the episode "Crazy".
[[WMG: Toby's always been dark side.]]
Think about it, despite being sort of a Boo Radley type in the beginning, how genius would it be if Toby really was involved in the murder after all this time? He's had his named cleared for so long that it would be the twisty-st of twists. Maybe he fooled everyone up until now.
[[WMG: Jenna + Garret + Mona = A]]
Okay we all know [[spoiler: Mona is A]] in the books, but the possibility of having multiple people playing A has been raised before. It's highly likely that Jenna and Garret are involved, as they discuss [[spoiler: how they set the four main characters up by leading them into the woods to find what they thought was a dead body, then had them arrested]] in the summer finale. They were lead there by anonymous messages from A, which means Jenna and Garret are part of the A conspiracy. However, it's very obvious that there is a third person who has access to information that neither of them do. This person is a student in the same English class as the four girls (explaining how she knew that Aria was Ezra's student, even though Aria had just learned that herself), has a grudge against them, and somehow knew that they were invited to Mona's birthday party in Season One, even though it had just happened. This person must be female, since she said she'd be at Mona's party, which was girls only. She also knew about Hannah's shoplifting. (Presumably, since she knew Hannah was arrested for it and is probably the person who tipped the mall security off to the fact that it had occured in the first place.) There's really only one person who fits that profile and that's Mona.
* What with Garret being [[spoiler:dead]] and all, I hardly think he could be A
[[WMG: There are many minor As, but Alison is the leader.]]
Alison (the real one, not her twin Courtney) is behind everything, but gets others to do things for her under the guise of "A." So there are a lot of people who pretend to be A (Jenna, Garrett, possibly Mona, etc), but they don't know who the ringleader is or what her ultimate goal is. They're just happy to ruin the lives of the Liars.
[[WMG: Eventually, one or more of the girls will say "Screw it", decide to reveal all of the secrets they're keeping and tell the whole world about A.]]
* It's a common enough trend in fiction that the only way to deal with being blackmailed is to spill everything the blackmailer has on you, so they don't have any ammo on you.
** Hanna tries this in ''Flawless'' but it doesn't work.
[[WMG: Neither Garret nor Jenna are A, or part of A, or in any way affiliated with A.]]
* In "Over My Dead Body," they too received instructions from A and were given a means to get what they wanted from their "frenemy" A. Of course, it'll come at a cost and A now has blackmail material on them...
[[WMG: Lucas is being blackmailed by A because of his gambling addiction.]]
* In 2x14 when he shows Hanna some of the trash collection pictures, the first thing on the screen is an online gambling site. In 2x15 before all the drama, he tells Hanna he can't afford to pitch in for the party. A finds out, and uses this against him.
[[WMG: Lucas lost money because of his gambling addiction and Lucas losing the money had nothing to do with A.]]
* As above, but nothing has to do with A. Every single conversation he has with the crisis hotline has to do with classic hallmarks of gambling addiction (I almost got caught, I'm in too deep, I got sucked in, I feel powerful, I lost it all). He also refers to a group (They will never forgive me, they will make me life a living hell), so it's surely at least partly some kind of group that he's lost the money for. Could be his parents, the school or some other group of people at school. His solution isn't murder, it's to leave town for good.
** Confirmed. Turns out to be Caleb who apparently had $4,000 stashed away. Lucas lost it, and the group he's referring to was Caleb and Hanna.
[[WMG: Alison is alive but not A]]
* She appears to have saved Emily in 2x12. She also visited Hanna in the Hospital. She is in hiding because A is after her as well. She was offering Emily the chance to run away with her. This makes what she said to Emily make sense.
** Absolutely confirmed
*** Not "absolutely", she is alive but she still might be A.
[[WMG: Also Ali was being blackmailed by A]]
* A wanted her to expose Spencer kissing Ian, Aria's dad affair and threatened to expose her for kissing Emily which explains her hostility towards the girls.
[[WMG: Aria is the MAIN A ]]
* It seems crazy, but look:
they actually have some valid points. ( Note = not my posts)
[[WMG: Mona was bribing Seth, the psychic kid from "If These Dolls Could Talk" for info about the girls.]]
* This is a bit off the wall, but it would answer some of the questions brought up on the headscratchers page, like how she knew which box of cereal Emily would choose from the cafeteria and how she knew that the girls would decide to order Chinese food before homecoming. She'd been going to that doll shop for tips about the future.
** Jossed . The unofficial Guide Rosewood Confidential states that Seth was never really psychic.He was given lines to say in order to creep the girls out as per his grandmother's deal with A(note how at the end of the episode the grandmother tells A "this wasn't part of the deal",referring to her shop being messed up,and A gives her an envelope of cash and Seth a large lollipop prompting her to stop complaining).
[[WMG: Holden died but no-one cared.]]
Which is why he hasn't been seen again. Everyone was too busy worrying over Maya and Allison to care about a kid who just moved back from overseas that no-one really knew.
** Jossed as of The Remains of the 'A'
[[WMG: Alison had no romantic interest in Ian]]
* Instead she was more interested in exposing him as the pervert he was and wanted to see him punished.
[[WMG: Nate is Maya's stalker]]
* Not her cousin.
** Confirmed.
[[WMG: Maya was an undercover cop trying to solve Ali's disappearance/murder]]
* That's why she got in a car with Garrett.
[[WMG: Paige is part of the A team]]
* Either that or she'll die. Hasn't any noticed that's what happens to Emily's love interests? First Ali, then Maya... either Paige will die or she'll be an enemy. The latter's more probably, since one of her love interests has already died...
** Maybe she's the one who will turn against the team in "The BetrAyal". After witnessing [[spoiler: Emily and Nate]] kissing, it would hardly be surprising if she felt angry enough to lash out.
*** Both: Jossed
[[WMG: Paige murdered Maya]]
Okay, so for a while now I've been agonizing over this thing about Maya possibly being killed over what's on her website. The girls have combed through those videos (Emily especially), and all they seem to be about is how much Maya adores Emily. Whatever "Maya knew" as Mona puts it doesn't seem to be on there. So I started asking myself "Who benefits from Maya being gone?" and the obvious answer is "Paige". With Maya out of the way, Paige and Emily are free to date. And as Paige's first appearance demonstrated, she's certainly not above being violent with somebody who has something she wants. (Remember her trying to drown Emily?)
** Jossed
[[WMG: Toby is on the A-Team to protect the girls, more specifically Spencer.]]
Not my personal favorite theory, but I've seen it on boards.
* WordOfGod has apparently jossed this.
** WordOfGod also said Toby was the moral compass. There's always a chance this can change.
** Marlene King has confirmed that Toby has no ulterior motives, and is not on the "A-Team" to help the girls.
* Toby being a double agent has been confirmed as of "A Dangerous gAme".
[[WMG: Mike is on the A Team]]
He's known about Aria and Ezra for a long time but his attempts to break them up have been unsuccessful.
[[WMG: The A-Team....]]
* A=[[NotQuiteDead Alison]]
* T-[[BastardBoyfriend Toby]]
* E=[[RelationshipSue Ezra]]
* A=[[BigBadFriend Aria]]
* M=[[PsychoLesbian Mona]]
you may now proceed to shit bricks.
[[WMG: Mona started working for the Main A, ''after'' the other girls became friends]]
It makes the most sense.
[[WMG: Toby tried to defect from the A-team when he fell in love with Spencer]]
* Basically [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin what it sounds like]]. Toby was one of the original members of the A-team, but when he fell for Spencer, he decided he wanted out. A didn't take it well. This actually explains quite a lot if you really think about it. For example, remember A sabotaging the scaffolding at Toby's worksite? That makes a whole lot more sense if you think about it in terms of A [[ResignationsNotAccepted punishing someone for leaving the group]] rather than randomly deciding to target an ally for no reason. When that didn't get his attention, A tried to burn Jenna alive to prove a point. It was his/her way of saying "Hey, see what I'm capable of? Do what I say or else." This would explain why Toby was acting extra-protective of Jenna after the fire. (Anyone else notice how close he was sticking to her?) Even though he didn't exactly like her, he didn't want her blood ending up on his hands. Fearing that A might go after Spencer next, he rejoined in hopes of buying her safety, so to speak.
[[WMG: Aria the head of the A Team]]
* Not very wild, when you consider when the messages start, and everything else we've learned about A. Explains (along with the team effort) A's apparent omniscience.
* http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KKfKfeHaxNw pretty much explains all of the clues pointing to Aria as A
[[WMG: Samara's closeted ex is Alison]]
* But she didn't know because Ali was in disguise
[[WMG: Alison is/was a sociopath]]
* Fits pretty much all of the characteristics:
** Manipulative and Conning- Manipulated Hanna into developing bulimia, Aria into coming to the Halloween party, and many many **other examples.
** Grandiose Sense of Self- "That's immortality my darlings"
** Pathological Lying - Her affair with Ian and hiding her ''A'' messages, etc.
** Need for Stimulation - "I only kill when we need food. Or when I'm bored."
** Callousness/Lack of Empathy- Her dealings with both her bullying victims and her 'friends' proves this.
** Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity- Ian
** Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them: Is constantly at heads with Spencer, the only liar to question/stand up to her.
** Secretive- Had a Secret Identity..
** Paranoid- Said secret identity, ''the snow globe'' etc.
** Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired- The Liars
** Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)- her treatment of the liars and Paige ("Think again pigskin. I ''own'' you now.")
** Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life- the above, especially TRIGGERING HANNA'S EATING DISORDER.
** Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim- Probably why she is so attached to the liars.
** Unable to feel remorse or guilt- All of her actions, particularly the ''Jenna-thing''
** Extreme narcissism and grandiose- Holy ''hell''
** May state readily that their goal is to rule the world- she is ''very'' Machiavellian in nature.
[[WMG: Mona was friends with Hanna before Hanna became friends with the Liars]]
* Explains:
** Her reasoning for creating A, if not a lie or InsaneTrollLogic
** Why Alison received A notes.
** And why Mona kept trying to hang out with the Liars despite constant rejection.
[[WMG: Ali has a baby]]
* She ran away and faked her death because she was pregnant and once she had the baby, she wanted to take care of it rather than give it away. It explains her need for massive amounts of money, her improved personality, and why she can never stay.
[[WMG: Spencer is (partially) faking her insanity to get admitted into Radley Sanitarium.]]
* Spencer is in a lot of pain, she's angry and bitter over what happened with Toby, but, she's not stupid. Even at her lowest, she's still doing what she can when it comes to the "A-Team" (hiring a P.I. to tail Toby and find out where the key leads to, translating the postcard that Emily had, etc.). Spencer is probably upping the craziness a little bit. When Wren came to visit her at her house to talk about her mental state, a little lightbulb seemed to go off in her head, and she decided to put on a bit of a show to get admitted into Radley and get ahold of some medical records or something. Hence why she attacked Mona in a room full of witnesses with Wren present, when she could have done that at any time in private.
[[WMG: Melissa is [[spoiler: the one who steamed Spencer ]].]]
That was my automatic guess and it should have been obvious to Spence. [[spoiler: She did warn her earlier that she was keeping bad company]]
[[WMG: Alison is Red Coat and the killer.]]
Although they have denied following the books, they have been leaving a lot of hints about the twin storyline. Alison had a "you've been blessed with twins" photo frame in her room, she told that story about one twin trying to kill the other, and ''Hanna'' guessed that A was Red Coat and was laughed at. Way back in season one, when A sent them the video of Ali and Ian but cut it off at Ali gripping the ground, Hanna speculated that they were just hooking up, but the other liars immediately shot it down and decided that Ian had killed her. Hanna ended up being right. The writers could easily be using Hanna to make the truth sound ridiculous again. Plus, why would A have started messaging Ali under the initial "A" unless the original Aand current leader of the teamwas the real Ali?
[[WMG: Emily is A. ]]
Far fetched theory if Iv'e ever heard one, I know, But that WOULD be the ultimate twist. I mean, she is the sweet one.
[[WMG: Mike is hiding something big that involves him or Aria.]]
Think about it. Mike is never seen on-screen anymore and is always staying with the parent that Aria is NOT with, almost like he's trying to avoid her. He has stolen things before so we know that he is capable of bad things. So, when Mike returns, something HUGE will happen or be revealed. It might not seem to involve him at first but he will eventually be revealed to be involved in it.
* Kinda confirmed, after he came back Hanna revealed that she made out with him. Also he's been hanging out with Mona recently so something is definitely up.
[[WMG: Mona lied about the circumstances under which she met Red Coat.]]
* Her story to the Liars doesn't really add up: She said that Red Coat approached her while she was in Radley and offered her free passage in and out if she gave Red Coat control of the A-team. But remember what Mona said when Red Coat first approached her? "I did everything you told me to." This implies that they knew each other before Mona went to Radley. Mind you, this doesn't mean that she was lying about not knowing who Red Coat is or that her intention to cooperate with the Liars isn't genuine, but it does raise the question of why she felt the need to lie about that particular detail.
[[WMG: Alison and Red Coat are playing a larger game.]]
Alison and Red Coat are both A, but they're competing about something. Alison is trying to protect the girls, but cannot in a straight forwards manner, hence why she keeps coming to check up on them. Red Coat is behind most of shenanigans that the Liars have under gone, but the more favorable ones have been Alison using them for her larger game. I think of it as two gods (Alison and Red Coat) fighting using Rosewood as the pieces.
[[WMG: Red Coat is not Alison.]]
* They're obsessed with Alison, that's why they have so many pictures of her up, including in the drivers seat of the van. Also that's why they wear the wig and jacket- to look more like her.
** Yes and no. [[spoiler: Red Coat is [=CeCe=] and she has indeed been dressing like Alison]], but [[spoiler: there's another Red Coat and it's the real Alison.]]
[[WMG: Alison is a vampire]]
She was killed but with vampire blood in her system so she came back and she hypnotized someone into believing she died.
[[WMG: Lucas was involved in the attempted burning of Jenna and the attempted burning of the Liars.]]
* There tends to be a pattern of [[{{Pyromaniac}} fires sprouting up wherever that guy goes.]]
[[WMG: Emily and Alison is endgame]]
[[WMG: Spencer killed Alison.]]
We know she had a huge fight with Alison the night Alison disappeared, and that Spencer followed Alison outside, all while the other three liars slept. Spencer then came back into the barn alone and told the others that Alison was gone, and claimed, falsely, since we know that Spencer followed Ali, that she had "looked everywhere for her." Spencer then adds "I think I heard her scream." Note that Spencer says all of this with a completely flat affect, almost as though she were experiencing some sort of emotional disconnect from what had happened. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APuQnLebhI8 This video]] gives a pretty good summary of the theory. As to the question of whether Ali is still alive, it's probably her [[spoiler:twin]].
* Jossed [[spoiler: She's not dead]]
** Fine, Spencer [[spoiler:attempted to kill her.]] Or, as above, Ali is dead and it's [[spoiler:her twin pretending to be her]].
* I can see it happening, especially since according to spoilers for next episodes, Spencer has repressed memories from 'that night', she was probably taking drugs back then and that's why.
** Jossed. [[spoiler: Spencer did go after Ali with a shovel, but she never hit Ali with it. She dropped the shovel, they had a heart to heart about Spencer's drug addiction, and Spencer went back to sleep.]]
[[WMG: Jason Neville from ''Series/{{Revolution}}'' is meant to be an {{Expy}} of Lyndon James.]]
* They're both African-American (although Jason is mixed race, as shown in "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E5SoulTrain Soul Train]]"), they both use knives as weapons, and they both use the alias "Nate".
[[WMG: Alison's ability to hold her breath for long periods is how she survived being buried.]]
* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail means it's important.
** Confirmed
[[WMG: Malcolm is not Ezra's son.]]
* Back before 3B started, Aria's actress, Lucy Hale said "Youll definitely see more of Maggie and youll see more of [Ezras] son ... or what you think is his son."
** Further evidence is later showcased when[[spoiler: we find out that Ezra's name isn't on the birth certificate]] and it looks like there may end up being a [[spoiler: paternity test because Maggie wants to move.]] Very suspicious.
** confirmed as of episode 4.10
[[WMG: Jenna, Melissa, and Shana were conspiring against A in the Season 3 finale, not against the Liars.]]
* While this is a shaky assumption, let's assume for the sake of discussion that Melissa was telling the truth when she said she was looking out for Spencer the whole time. She was obviously meeting with Jenna and Shana that day, but the "bitches" they referred to were Red Coat and Mona, not the girls. Melissa's motivations for plotting against them are obvious: She wants to protect her sister. Jenna is probably involved because she feels obligated to Hanna for saving her from the fire. Shana is involved because she's in love with Jenna and Jenna asked her to.
[[WMG: The whole series boils down to a war between [=CeCe=] Drake and Alison.]]
* [=CeCe=] is essentially the [[{{Expy}} new]] and [[AdaptationalBadass improved]] [[Literature/PrettyLittleLiars Courtney DiLaurentis.]] For one thing, she impersonates Ali sometimes, just like Courtney did in the books. (They also have the same initials) These impersonations were treated like a game by Alison and [=CeCe=], but maybe on the night of Alison's "murder", one of them went a little too far for Alison's comfort. [=CeCe=] and Ali fought and [=CeCe=] overpowered her, ultimately striking her with a shovel. (A weapon of opportunity perhaps, given that the [=DiLaurentis=] backyard was being dug up at the time to prepare it for a Gazebo to be put in.) Believing Alison to be dead, [=CeCe=] panicked and used the shovel to bury her. She didn't know that Alison was actually unconscious, but Alison's [[ChekhovsSkill ability to hold her breath for long periods of time]] kept her alive and allowed her to punch through the ground with her hand. Spencer, who was wandering around at the time, saw her and pulled her free. (This would explain where she was while Aria, Emily, and Hanna were asleep.) The girls had been drinking at the time, so Spencer may have been blacked out when this happened, explaining why she doesn't remember. Now Alison and [=CeCe=] are working against each other, but neither one is going after the other directly. Instead, they're playing Chess, with Rosewood as the board: [=CeCe=] is trying to keep Alison's friends from looking too closely into the murder. (The "A" scheme is a distraction.) Alison is trying to keep her friends from being hurt by [=CeCe=].
[[WMG: Jenna knew about [[spoiler: Ezra.]]]]
* Remember way back in Season 1 when Jenna told him how fascinated she was by the nature of evil? Maybe what she was ''really'' saying was "I know who you are and what you did." This might explain the later attempts on her life. He set the fire during Season 2 in an attempt to get rid of her, but when this failed, he realized that he needed help, so he had his [[TheDragon Dragon]] [=CeCe=] go meet Mona and negotiate the transfer of leadership of the A-team to him. Come Season 4, he had one of the team members attempt to drown Jenna.
[[WMG: Miss Grunwald was blackmailed into using her powers to help A.]]
** She's a good guy like she says, but A got something on her and forced her to use her premonition abilities to advance the scheme. This would make some of A's more ridiculous moves make a lot more sense. (Season 1's fortune cookie message, anyone?)
[[WMG: There's an Anti A-Team]]
* This one is all but explicitly stated in "Now You See Me, Now You Don't." There's an Anti A-Team that's out to save the girls from [[spoiler: Ezra]] and his team. The members are:
* Alison - she's the second Red Coat and the head honcho of the team.
* Mona - In "Now You See Me, Now You Don't", she talks with Jenna about something secret and wonders if "she" would be okay with whatever they're about to do. Since the leader of the regular A-Team is a guy, she probably meant Alison.
* Jenna - Seen with Mona during the above scene.
* Shauna - Clearly allied with Jenna, as demonstrated during the Season 3 finale.
* Melissa - Same as Shauna.
** Supporting evidence: Alison saving the girls from the fire in the season 3 finale. It's pretty hard to believe that she charged into a burning building and rescued all four girls without some kind of help.
[[WMG: A. is really...]]
[[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m21cb3UkXO1r1wdpvo1_500.jpg Hillary Clinton.]]
[[WMG: "A" is for {{Antihero}}.]]
Spencer killed Alison (the person whom the Liars think is the still-living Alison is actually [[spoiler:her twin sister]]), and A knows it, but can't prove it. A is so certain of Spencer's guilt, and so desperate to prove it, however, that he or she has been willing to "frame" Spencer for the crime, and has been tormenting the Liars in the hopes of getting one of them to come forward. A has been operating under the (entirely reasonable) assumption that the Liars all know that Spencer did it and have been covering for her.
[[WMG: Mona was working for Alison since Season 1]]
* She was Alison's [[TheMole double agent]] in the A-team, playing the role of villain while secretly assisting The Liars when she could. (Early on, "A" actually helped out the Liars on occasion, such as when Noel was going to expose Aria's relationship with Ezra). In the Season 2 finale, Alison decided it was time for Mona to leave the game for a while, so she had Mona get caught and sent to Radley. The person Mona was talking to when she said "I did everything you told me to" actually was Alison. The A-team leader tried to kill Mona in the Season 3 finale because he/she discovered this fact. This betrayal forced Mona to go from TheMole to a full-on ally of The Liars. Her motivation? As we saw in "A is for Answers", Alison showed her how to go from a mousy dorkish loser to a popular Rosewood High "it girl"; she felt indebted to Alison.
[[WMG: Sydney and Jenna are twins.]]
* The two looked very similar when both of them were wearing sunglasses. Also taking note of something Marlene King said that the role of Sydney was something they had been planning for a few seasons and wrote some bits specifically for the actress.

About 5.7 million people, among a total population of 150 million, of Bangladesh are suffering from diabetes according to a survey conducted by the Diabetic Association of Bangladesh. The prevalence of the disease in the district of Gaibandha is well above the average as it is, unfortunately, one of the poorest districts of the country. Karmirhath Hospital started Diabetes Section in 1998. 16,549 diabetic patients so far received treatment at our hospital. We had been experiencing difficulties arranging finances for the treatment of our patients. The hospital received a boost when Karmirhath started raising fund through GlobalGiving Foundation.
We held a Diabetic Screening Camp in the rural area last month. Before holding the camp, wide publicity was made so that more and more people attend the camp. About 300 people attended. 40 were detected having diabetes. These patients later attended our hospital. Necessary tests were conducted, Guide Books given and Diabetes Awareness lessons were given to them.
A total of 1400 patients attended our hospital during the last 3 months; among them 40 were new patients.
A Case History: Zaheda Khatun (70), wife of Alek Mia lives in a village named Jugibari about 20 kilometer from Gaibandha town. She is very poor and has been suffering for the last 4 years. Her husband is a physically disabled person and cannot earn. He lives on begging. So Zaheda Khatun could not afford to consult a doctor for want of money, let alone buying medicines. One day one of her neighbors informed her that Karmirhath Hospital at Gaibandha town provides free treatment to poor patients. With the help of some neighbor she came to Karmirhath hospital in the first week of May, 2012. She was examined at the hospital and diagnosed as a diabetic patient. All necessary tests were conducted and prescription given. Medicines were provided free of costs. Since her first visit to the hospital, Zaheda Khatun has been improving. Some sympathetic neighbors of her provide costs of visiting the hospital, initially, every week and now every fortnight, to keep a close watch on her progress.
Zaheda Khatun is now very grateful to Karmirhath and GlobalGiving for arranging her free treatment. Picture of Zaheda Khatun attached.
Patients' Comments:
lots of complications. After taking treatment continuously, I feel much better now.
I can attend to my normal routine works. I get free medicine including insulin from the hospital.
Thanks to Karmirhath for their help.
April 11, 2012.
Diabetic camps in the rural area could not be arranged during the months of February and March 2012. A total of 531 diabetic patients, both new and old, attended the Diabetic Section of Karmirhath Hospital during this period.
A very nominal fee is taken from new patients. Guide book is given free to new patients. Insulin is given free to poor Chronic Diabetic Patients. Poor patients are given medicines free. All new patients along with their attending relations are given awareness training in classes.
Karmirhath Hospital Authorities are grateful to donors who donate to "Help Treat 1200 Poor Diabetes in Bangladesh".
PROJECT REPORT April 11, 2012.
No Eye Camp could be arranged during the last two months. 1181 eye patients attended our hospital in this period for treatment/check up. Free consultations and treatments were provided to each patient. Among these, 13 patients were found to have affected with cataract. Cataracts were removed from these patients successfully through manual Phaco Surgery conducted at our own hospital (Karmirhath Hospital) free of any charge. These people are now leading normal lives taking care of their dependents. They express their gratitude to those donors who made the operations possible.
Karmirhath Hospital has one medical officer for Eye, one experienced Eye Consultant and one experienced Ophthalmic Surgeon and a hosts of paramedics. The eye section is well equipped with latest equipment thanks to our donors overseas.
Two pictures showing Dr. Abdus Samad, Consultant examining eye patients are attached.

HIP-HOP KARAOKE Competition Semi-Finals
783 COLLEGE STREET, Toronto ON
special guests MONOLITH
hosted by ABDOMINAL + MORE OR LES
with DJs NUMERIC + DALIA
Doors 10:00pm - $10 Cover - 19+ Event
For the 5th Annual HHK Competition Edition we've decided to run things a little differently. This year we're introducing a preliminary round (Semi-Finals) of HHK to determine the final cream-of-the-crop performers for September's Competition Finals.
Doors and sign-up begin at 10:00pm. We have 20 spaces available, on a first-come, first-serve basis, so arriving early is obviously encouraged if you wish to compete — spots are going to go very fast! The Semi-Finals are open to everyone! Song selection is also first-come, first-serve, so prepare at least one back-up tune just in case! Songs performed MUST be on our existing song list, found here. We ask for no group/posse cuts (solo performances only) to keep things fair. Example: you can do "Protect Ya Neck" but you have to perform it alone.
The TOP 10 performers from this August Semi-Finals will go on to compete in September for the ultimate crown.
Performances will be judged based on crowd reaction/participation, use of stage/animated performance, familiarity with material (i.e. memorization and delivery of lyrics), breath control, as well as bonus points for incorporation of creative dance moves. Your judges for the evening will be Toronto hip-hop legends MONOLITH (consisting of Dan-e-o, Korry Deez, Black Cat, Grimace Love, and Lancecape).
Start practicing now, as the competition will be fierce!
About HIP-HOP KARAOKE Toronto
Throw away any preconceived notion you may have of a stereotypical karaoke night — this is not "Ice Ice Baby" over a stripped down muzak beat in the back of the bar, complete with bouncing ball and cornball graphics. Hip-Hop Karaoke is the prime opportunity for closet MCs to finally grab the mic and bust their favourite raps live on stage with an accompanying DJ and a cheering, enthusiastic audience. Using all original instrumentals we provide hundreds of classic jams for everyone to flex their lyrical skill, from the seasoned hip-hop veteran to the casual fan.
Launched in December 2004, Hip-Hop Karaoke was fittingly born in New York City by founders J. New, DJ Wex and Digs. The night instantly caught on and rapidly gained momentum receiving praise from media outlets such as Spin, XXL, Urb, Village Voice, New York Post and Vibe. Still going extremely strong, Hip-Hop Karaoke NYC has had legendary attendees such as Big Daddy Kane and Diamond D as well as spawning chapters in London, Brighton, Bristol and Iceland.
Never Forgive Action is very proud to bring you the official Toronto edition of Hip-Hop Karaoke.
