Limitation on Collections
Internal Revenue Code § 6502 sets out the statute of limitations for collection after assessment. Code § 6503 provides rules for when the statute of limitation is suspended. These sections reflect the modifications made by the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-206, § 3461(a)(2)) (RRA 98) and The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, section 6159. RRA 98 eliminated the unlimited ability of the parties to extend indefinitely the statutory period for collection by agreement and substituted a fixed bright line time period.
The law now provides that:
In any request to extend the period of limitations made on or before December 31, 1999, a taxpayer agreed to extend such period beyond the 10-year period referred to in section 6502(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, such extension shall expire on the latest of:
- (A) the last day of such 10-year period;
- (B) December 31, 2002; or
- (C) In the case of an extension in connection with an installment agreement, the 90th day after the end of the period of such extension.
It was the intent of Congress to eliminate the waiver practice under the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98), and to nullify any existing waiver agreements, subject to a transitional window.
Absent a statutory exception, if the taxpayer files a valid and timely Tax Court petition, the IRS cannot assess or collect the unpaid tax until the Tax Court decision becomes final. If a taxpayer files a bankruptcy petition after a notice of deficiency is mailed but before the 90-day period (150 days if taxpayer is out of the country) expires, the 90-day period is suspended from the date the bankruptcy petition is filed until the taxpayer is discharged or dismissed, plus 60 days.
Prior to formally assessing the tax, a statutory Notice and Demand for payment must be mailed by the IRS to the taxpayer.
Section 6303 of the IRC sets forth that the Secretary shall, as soon as practicable, and within sixty days, after the making of an assessment of a tax pursuant to section 6203, give notice to each person liable for the unpaid tax, stating the amount of tax owed and demanding payment thereof. Such notice shall be left at the dwelling or usual place of business of such person, or shall be sent by mail to such person's last known address. It is important for the student attorney to make sure the IRS has complied with the notice and demand requirements. However, the failure of the IRS to send timely notice and demand after the assessment of the tax will not render the assessment void. The assessment will remain valid but IRS will be barred from utilizing its lien and levy collection powers. Blackston v. U.S., 778 F.Supp. 244 (D.Md.1991); see also Brewer v. U.S., 764 F.Supp. 309 (S.D.N.Y.1991) (stating that in order to place a lien against property, the IRS must make valid assessment of taxes, provide notice of deficiency to taxpayer, and provide notice and demand for payment of assessed tax).
Under the collection power of the IRS, once a tax has been assessed and proper notice given, the taxpayer is subject to the summary nonjudicial procedures available to the IRS to collect the assessed tax, in particular the lien and levy powers.
A lien is placed on the taxpayer's property after the taxpayer receives a statutory Notice of Lien and a levy occurs after the taxpayer receives a statutory Notice Of Intent to Levy.
Student attorneys should request hearings to appeal these actions within the 30-day statutory period. Failure to do so may result in a failing grade in the Clinic.
If the taxpayer wishes to pursue this right to appeal the student attorney should prepare a completed form 9423 (Collection Appeal Request) or 10153 for the taxpayer.
Several actions will suspend the statute of limitations on collection:
There are many situations when the statute for collection is tolled or extended. Those that the Clinic deals with usually are: bankruptcy (§ 6503(h), offers in compromise (§ 6331(k)), situations when the tax lien is reduced to judgment, and certain installment agreements. The taxpayer's transcript will show the information from which the student can compute the correct statute of limitations.
Section 6503(h) tolls the period for collection for the period the individual is in bankruptcy plus 6 months thereafter. The student can determine this period from the dates on the transcript and/or the PACER information.
The offer statute is covered in the offer section of this web site, and is delineated on the Form 656. The statute is suspended for any period the offer is pending plus 30 days thereafter and, if an appeal of such rejection is filed within such 30 days, during the period that such appeal is pending. The pending date begins the date the Service accepts the offer for processing. I.R.C. 6331 (k)(1).
Under Code § 7403, the United States can bring an action in United States District Court to reduce the tax claim to judgment thereby extending the original statute date.
The installment agreement provision in the statute is more complex and depends on the kind of installment agreement. In general, if a taxpayer submits an installment agreement, the statute of limitations is suspended while the agreement is pending and for a period of 30 days following rejection or termination. Under Code § 6331(i)(5), the statute of limitations is suspended when levies are prohibited and Code § 6331 (k)(2) prohibits levies while an installment agreement is pending and for 30 days following rejection or termination.
However, RRA 98 sets a 10 year absolute end-time on the statute of limitations except for most installment agreements. Internal Revenue Manual § 220.127.116.11.5 states that a waiver will only be executed in connection with the granting of a partial payment installment agreement and only in certain situations under 18.104.22.168, and there is policy that limits this to no more than five years plus up to one year to account for changes in the agreement.
The CSED (which is the statute date) is suspended as of March 9, 2002 during
- the time an installment agreement is pending
- 30 days following rejection of an installment agreement
- thirty days following termination of an installment agreement, and,
- during any appeal of termination or rejection of the installment agreement.
This section makes plain that the CSED is not suspended while an installment agreement is in effect.
IRM 5.14.2 deals with collection statutes and the Partial Payment Installment Agreement.
Prior to the effective date of The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Code § 6159 provided for installment agreements only for "satisfying the liability." The law changed the words to "make payment on" and inserted "full or partial." This appears to have created two types of installment agreements. There is a full pay installment agreement that must be paid over no more than 3 years and for which there is no waiver of the S/L or no extension of the CSED.
The newly created installment agreement is the Partial Payment Installment (PPIA) Agreement (i.e. installment agreements that do not provide for full payment of the liabilities. IRM 220.127.116.11(9) limits the extension of the waivers to 5 years plus 1 year. The use of the waiver is limited by policy to those in I.R.M. § 18.104.22.168.3.
I.R.M. § 22.214.171.124.3 states that generally a waiver should not be secured on PPIAs. There are examples where these waivers are suggested such as where an asset will come into the taxpayer's possession
For most of our clients, they can freely enter into an installment agreement regardless of kind and it will generally not extend the statutory period for collection.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - The day after a sudden shakeup within a police department, the county's prosecutor shared his thoughts about alleged corruption in an agency he deals with every day.
Prosecutor Keith Henderson said he will ask for a thorough review of the New Albany Police Department once a new police chief has been appointed.
"For their benefit, they need to have good leadership back in place to where things can move forward," Henderson said.
[PREVIOUS STORY: Sherri Knight resigns as New Albany police chief, will stay with force]
Resignations and reassignments for NAPD's chief and assistant chief occurred a few weeks after allegations of corruption and retaliation.
"Once the matter is settled on whose going to lead the department and that person gets settled in, I'll have a discussion with them," Henderson said.
The chief and assistant chief of NAPD suddenly resigned from their appointed positions Tuesday. The resignations and reassignments were effective immediately.
Henderson would not elaborate about the leadership change. However, he assured reporters during a brief news conference that if he finds NAPD's investigation into alleged corruption and mismanagement is incomplete then he'll take additional action.
"Clearly if I think something needs to be done further in an investigation or if I think they're not doing an investigation and it needs to be done then I will make sure that happens," Henderson said.
Major William Popp is handling NAPD administrative operations until a new chief is appointed, according to a news release from Mayor Jeff Gahan's office.

What a great win over an inconsistent yet pesky Tennessee squad that has beaten some really great teams. (And, as mentioned in the main article, and by JC, it was a TEAM win). Of course, the Vols have lost some stinkers along the way. The thing is, a team that gets up for the big games can always be scary.
What's just as exciting to me is that both Texas and Nova win big today--making our victories over them even more impressive.
I am very impressed by this team. First time in a while that UCONN has really been FUN to watch as well.
Is Calhoun on his way to coach of the year?

It is so sad to see one of Palo Alto's historic buildings being destroyed.
The building owners (a consortium of foreign investors) were planning on remodeling soon, but now it seems like they will get a brand new building instead.
What luck is that!
I will miss that lovely old building.
From now on, we will have only photos for our children to show their children what used to be there.

Sorry to disagree, but I saw nothing lovely or historic about the building. A brand new building could be really nice, on the other hand it may not. Too many buildings are being put up and then pulled down a few years later for poor reasoning. I hope that this time a building will be well enough designed that it will last for a long time through multiple uses and eventually become something that will be worth preserving. But, when the right time comes, it will be torn down too.

Of course it is historic--anything in PA that is older than 5 years is considered historic by the "historic home zealots". I am surprised they did not go to court and get a court order to prevent demolition.
There is little to nothing historic in PA--if you want historic buildings go move to Boston.

Well i wished I bought more
Why didn't I buy more?????
by Walker14059340
by Konell10586312
Really? $17 for that quality? Seriously? Best wine deal of the year so far. Drank one bottle and immediately tried to get more... the words "out of stock" were crushing! Beautiful all around cab.
by PinotGrigio/Gris434250
This is truly a magnificent wine, my first 5 star. Very full, yet not over powering on the attack, the taste experience lingers and differentiates, the finish is clean with just the right bite of tannin. I had read of "hints of black cherry", but really hadn't experienced it before. As a bargain hunter, I fully appreciate the value and wish that I had purchased more, considerably more. Bravo!
Bold & Smooth

One of the best cabs of that year. Hard to beat.
Awesome Again

This is really great too. Just like the Q Cabernet
Needs time
by CWilliam
I have tried 2 bottles - 1 was corked (and WA kindly gave me a refund) and the second was drinkable but not the quality I was expecting. Will let my remaining 4 bottles sit to 2015+ and then re-rate. 89 on 100 point scale.

Thank you to Palo Alto Online and the Weekly for posting these candidate interviews. I've watched three of them so far and they are a vastly better way to get a sense for the candidates than the forums, where everyone has few seconds to respond to questions. This is a great service to the community.
on Oct 31, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Thank you very much for uploading videos of the candidates. I based my vote entirely on the content of these videos.
on Nov 1, 2007 at 7:23 am
I too wish everyone would watch these videos. Camille's video demonstrates that the PA Weekly's editorial position is completely unsupported by the facts. Camille is thoughtful, articulate and reflective in her positions, and addresses the issues as asked (recall that the Weekly's main criticism was somehow that she refused to look back at previous issues, and instead was too focused on the future). While focusing on the future is hardly a damning criticism, the video shows that is not even a valid complaint. It is too bad these have not been available for longer.

French is a national language of twenty-eight countries, and spoken widely in at least eighteen more. The French brought the world the Bayeux Tapestry (arguably the world's first comic strip), Versailles, Impressionism, Surrealism, New Wave cinema, Poststructuralist thought, and many other movements and works that have been influential for world culture. But France is also only the beginning of the story. And not even the beginning: before there was anything known as France, there were medieval documents written in "roman," the new vernaculars derived from Latin that would become our romance languages. In the wake of French colonialism, creoles and other appropriations of French language and literary genres have sprung up around the world. Our French Programs are, in other words, not just for students interested in France, but also for students interested in the literatures and cultures of the pre-and post-Francophone world. Students at Cornell who are interested in French may also want to view the offerings and programs at the Language Houses.
Major Requirements
The Major in French prepares students to engage with the literatures and cultures of the French-speaking (and French-writing) world. The major consists of two tracks, French Literary Studies and French Cultural Studies, each designed to give students the opportunity to obtain proficiency in oral, aural, and written French while becoming savvy critical thinkers. Through required language courses, an introduction to close reading, literary and cultural surveys, and seminars on an array of topics (e.g. gender and sexuality, absolutist monarchy, psychoanalysis, monstrosity), students acquire a wide-ranging familiarity with French and Francophone cultural production as well as an ability to engage with this material with care, creativity, and interpretative skill.
Literary Studies Track
The track in French Literary Studies enables students to become familiar with foundational texts in the French and Francophone literary traditions through a two-course historical survey (3210/3220) [Note: in 2013-14, students may substitute FREN 3570: French Surrealism, for FREN 3210, which will not be offered]. This is then followed by five upper-level seminars, of which three must be taught in French: one of these five courses must address literature or culture before the French Revolution; one must address the non-French Francophone world; and one must be given at the most advanced (4000) undergraduate level. Up to two of these courses may be taken in departments other than Romance Studies. Students acquire thereby a sense of the impressive historical depth of the French tradition as well as the ways in which critical reading practices may cause historical (as well as linguistic and geographical) distinctions to break down.
Cultural Studies Track
The track in French Cultural Studies sets students up to think critically about French and Francophone culture in a way that would not be accommodated by the disciplines of literary study alone. For this track, students take two cultural surveys, one on the hexagonal French world (in 2013-14, FREN 2270: Versions of Versaillles, or FREN 3200: Introduction to 21st-Century France), one on an aspect of the Francophone diaspora or, if no such course is offered, the problematizing of French national identity (e.g., in 2013-14, FREN 3230: Readings in Francophone Literature and Culture or FREN 3200: Introduction to 21st-Century France) and then proceed to take five elective seminars with the same requirements that pertain to the literary track. They are also actively encouraged to take courses cross-listed in departments (such as History, Comparative Literature, Government, Art History, and Music) whose resources would complement, and occasionally challenge, a more strictly literary training.
- Both tracks require the completion of FREN 2210 (Reading, Looking, Thinking: Introduction to Interpretation) and FREN 3120 (French Stylistics).
- Both tracks require FREN 2190 (Intermediate Conversation and Composition II) or an equivalent class as their prerequisite.
- The minimum grade for courses acceptable for credit toward the French major is B-
Inquiries of a general nature can first be directed to the Undergraduate Assistant, Cal Hile. Students who wish to major in either French Literature or French Cultural Studies are advised to consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Marilyn Migiel, who will take into account the student's interest, preparation, and career goals. The Director of Undergraduate Studies will assign the student to an adviser.
Course Descriptions
Please refer to the French section within the Romance Studies course offerings for detailed descriptions about the courses we offer. Note that bracketed courses are not being taught this academic year.
See our departmental fall course roster or spring course roster for courses offered in French language and literature during the current academic year.
Minor Requirements
To minor in French, you need to do two things:
1. Prove your language proficiency by taking a placement exam or a 2000-level course in French.
2. Take four French and/or Francophone literature and culture courses. Only one of these courses may be graded S/U. Up to two courses from abroad may be counted toward the French minor. Students are encouraged to take FREN 2210 ( Reading, Looking, Thinking), or FREN 2270 (Versions of Versailles) as one of their four courses.
Note: literature and culture courses currently include most courses at the 3000-level and above in Romance Studies (with the exception of 3000-level language courses; please see the Director of Undergraduate Studies if you have questions about what constitutes a language course) as well as FREN 2210 and FREN 2270. Other departments' numbering systems are such that 2000-level courses in History, Government, etc. may be applicable toward the French minor.
Study Abroad
Finally, students are encouraged to study abroad through Cornell-sponsored or Cornell-approved programs, such as EDUCO in Paris. When appropriate, this work can be counted toward the required course work for the major. Students should consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies of Romance Studies (Cary Howie), the Study Abroad advising dean, and Cornell Abroad, as well as with their faculty advisor before taking courses abroad to assure they are appropriate.

Time for what's trending at 5:30...
Parents, you have a choice between sharing pictures of your child or children online, and protecting their privacy.
Experts say it's important to have an online strategy to keep them safe.
On one hand, parents want friends and families to see cute photos and hear updates about the kids.
On the other, there are big concerns about privacy and safety online.
Experts do say every household should have a set of rules as to what is acceptable and what is not.
It's only Tuesday... Unfortunately.
But we're about to take a look at the infectious, some would say annoying, new ad that plays in many offices and households on Hump Day. Paula Harris with the story.
This camel-wanders around an office camel, "c'mon, I know you can hear me. mike, mike, mike, mike, mike, asking a simple question."
Camel, "uh oh, guess what day it is? guess what-day-it-is. ahhhh? anybody."
pestering--until finally getting the answer he wants, "Leslie, guess what day it is? it's hump day(woo-hoo!)"
Call it hump day "hysteria".
Geico's quirky camel commercial has been viewed nearly 16-million times on
you-tube, "hump day-yeahhhh!" and, the parodies and re-posts
"guess what day it is!" are nearing 50-thousand. "C'mon you can hear me".
Here, a family re-enacts the entire commercial this line needs to be re-tracked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At vernon center middle school in Vernon, Connecticut the hump day hype became such a distraction, student-Jacob Ruggerio, "they do it every day"
They had to ask some of the kids to tone it down.
Student, Brooke Lewis, "everybody's walking around in the hallways and
saying it's hump day in that weird voice".
The school superintendent telling ABC, this is something that happens in
every middle school in the country every day.
As for Geico-they say their creative team focused on what would make anyone
happyand as soon as the camel idea was born ,they knew they were on to
something....but, for a company that's keen on the animal kingdom the mammal--known as camel-might be the biggest hit of them all.
"Guess what day it is?! , hump day, yeah!"

To anyone still reading and attempting to keep up with me here on DeviantART: I have a question.
I've got quite a few paintings I'd like to post but the problem is all of them are too big for my scanner. I don't have the best camera to take pictures of them (most of the best shots I've got on my iPhone and they aren't that great). My question is, how do I get a good picture of a painting? Something good enough to post so as much detail can be seen as possible. Anyone have experience getting a good picture of oils on canvas?
I'd be forever grateful if anyone has any advice or pointers!
That's all from me for now. Happy arting all!

It's another boy for the Rooneys
11:30am Friday 21st December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Pregnant Coleen Rooney and her Manchester United star husband Wayne have confirmed their second baby will be another boy.
The new arrival, due in the spring, will be a brother for the couple's three-year-old son Kai.
Coleen, who has her own fashion range and recently launched a homeware collection, said they decided to find out the sex of the baby at a scan.
Announcing the news on her @ColeenRoo Twitter account, she said: "Absolutely loved seeing our baby on the scan yesterday!!! We decided to find out the sex... It's a ... BOY!! So exciting @WayneRooney."
Coleen, 26, has almost 900,000 followers on the social network while her England striker husband, 27, has more than 5.5 million.
There was no immediate reaction to today's news from the footballer, who last Tweeted yesterday to inform his fans he had been to visit the children's ward at Manchester's Christie Hospital.
He said: "Been to see the kids in Christies hospital today. So nice to put a smile on their faces before Christmas. A very moving experience."
The couple, both from Liverpool, married in June 2008.

Nurses group: Poll results 'concerning but not surprising'
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) director Janet Davies told the BBC the findings were "very concerning but not surprising - we have been hearing about this for some time from nurses".
She added: "What we are finding is the pressures, particularly in hospitals and community areas, are getting greater as we have got more patients who are sicker coming through the system.
"We are seeing nursing posts frozen or cut in order to try and balance the books, it's obviously something we have been looking at for some time."

CAMILLA - Lori Jones of Moultrie had plans Saturday morning. Her son, LeJevin, had baseball practice. But, that wasn't the only thing on her mind. "It hurts to know that we have neighbors that need help. Maybe it's a wake-up call to the rest of us that we need to be better neighbors," she said about the recent tornadoes in Camilla.
She wants her sons, LeJevin and Joe Peacock, to realize the importance of lending a hand to those less fortunate. Jones came to represent the Social Security Administration's Moultrie offcie as a volunteer. She thought that this was be a perfect time to teach them a lesson in helping others. So, after the last ball was fielded, the three headed to Camilla.
"I think that they have it just too good and they need to see that other people are hurting. They need to learn to be able to want to help other people," she said.
Despite their age, both have already learned that important lesson. "We might have a tornado in Moultrie and we might need their help," LeJevin said about his reason for volunteering.
Retired Mitchell County teacher Rosa Ward remembers the 2000 tornado along with its devastation. "After a week, almost now, I almost couldn't make it because I was here in 2000 -- worked the day after, all day," she said.
A phone call from her grandson, Jordan, a third grader helped coerce her out of bed and into action. The home of one of Jordan's classmates was demolished.
"He now feel(s) that he is helping him, doing something to really help," she said although Jordan didn't know exactly where his classmate lived but still wanted to do something to show he cares.
Jordan realizes the shock of having a tornado rip someones home apart twice in three years. He offers this advice: "If they want to rebuild, let them rebuild. But, just let them rebuild in the Lord's prayer."
Both big and small, from near and far, volunteers were welcomed with open arms by storm victim's.

The NCAA men's regional finals are set following Friday night's action. Second seed Michigan will take on No. 8 Kentucky in the Midwest final at Indianapolis. Fourth seed Michigan State will battle No. 7 Connecticut in the East at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Jordan Morgan scored 15 points and Nik Stauskas had 14 as the Wolverines held off No. 11 Tennessee 73-71. Michigan led by 15 with 11 minutes left, but the Vols pulled within 72-71 before Jarnell Stokes was called for an offensive foul with six seconds left. Stauskas then made one of two free throws before Tennessee missed on a desperation heave at the buzzer.
The Spartans knocked off the top seed in the East, earning a 61-59 win over Virginia. Branden Dawson had team highs of 24 points and 10 rebounds for Michigan State, while Adreian Payne added 16 points and six boards.
Michigan State overcame a horrible start to the second half and then withstood a late run by the Cavaliers to advance to the regional finals for the eighth time under head coach Tom Izzo since 1985.
MSU and Connecticut will hit the court first in the early game Sunday afternoon. Then, Michigan will take on Kentucky in the Midwest regional final. Both games will be broadcast on WNEM TV 5.

Hardly the most conflict-driven film of Fred Zinneman's career, or anyone's, The Sundowners is characterized by a gentle tone that effectively complements its striking Australian location photography. Wavering accents aside, both Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr make a great team as a pair of Irish drovers, with Mitchum seeming, amazingly enough, almost cuddly. The central issue -- Mitchum's wanderlust versus Kerr's desire to settle down -- is so muted as to be almost invisible, but the two leads carry it off nicely. Even if it dodges some the stickier issues of class and colonialism, it keeps the interest in its characters high, with Peter Ustinov providing memorable comic relief. By its conclusion, Sundowners has ably conveyed the difficulties facing those who settle the frontier.

With yet another "leak" just before the Beijing Auto Show, Jianghuai revealed the new Tongyue. JAC's small car, also known as J3 in some markets, is getting a facelift. The car will get also get 35mm longer, increasing its length to 4190mm. The wheelbase will also get stretched 10mm to 2410mm.
In spite of a larger size, JAC will reduce the prices on all versions of the Tongyue. The base model is now 1,000 RMB cheaper: the new version will cost 48,800 RMB (7,700 USD). The top trim got 4,000 RMB price slash: it now costs 56,800 RMB (9,000 USD).
The Tongyue successfully completed a 60,000km endurance test by a Brazilian car magazine. After disassembling the car, it was noted that most of the components were still in very good shape. Known as the J3 in Brazil, it is JAC's best selling car in that market with over 20,000 sold last year between the hatch and sedan versions.

del·ti·ol·o·gy n. The collection and study of postcards.
Google-ing for old postcards brings up a mind-bogglingly wide assortment of links, just a few of which I'll list here.
OldPostcards.com offers over 3 million old postcards, grouped by topic, including Sumo Wrestling, Elephant Tusk and Animals Smoking.
Postcardman.net is another biggie. Cards covering Dead People, Leper Colonies and Washerwomen.
Three guesses what "Postcard Bill" Judnick collects and sells. He runs lotsofcards.com, lotsofstamps.com and the interesting lotsofcovers.com, a huge collection of envelopes, postmarks and other postal artifacts.
Deltiology.com isn't the prettiest of sites. He has background images that make most of his pages practically unreadable, so when you see the link to turn them off, you might want to do so. He does have a cool Old-Time Postmark Calendar, though. Every day of the year shows an old postmark from the corresponding date. The bad news is that the calendars are from 1995, left over from the original printing run. The good news is that they're still interesting to look at, and in 2006, the dates will match up again and the calendar will be useful once again! He's asking a mere $3 apiece, or 5 for $12.

Driving into Oregon from Mt. Shasta, California, the first thing I noticed was that the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. This was a welcome relief since Shasta had been hotter than anticipated. My dog and I were relieved to be heading to cooler climes especially since we'd been on the road for awhile. We had escaped Carson City's high temperatures and forest fires and the smoke in the air.
I first become aware of Ashland, Oregon from best-selling author James Twyman, the peace troubadour and had wanted to visit for awhile. We crossed a bridge on Interstate highway 5 and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful and green. I'm gonna love Oregon, I told the dog. She looked at me and agreed. She had that happy puppy smile on her face.
The next thing that struck me about Oregon as we pulled into a gas station was that I didn't have to pump my own gas. This is state law. Impressive.
Decided to check out the Welcome Center and to my surprise, the people there were terrific and friendly. Imagine that. And they welcomed the dog and fed her treats. She was happy and settled down to lick any approaching feet. With their help, we found a suitable motel and found out about some of the chocolate opportunities awaiting us. I hadn't realized yet that the Ashland area would turn out to be a chocolate mecca, for a small community.
The Visitor's Center folks told us about Harry and David in Medford, Cary's in Grants Pass up the road a bit, and an organic farm, Rogue Creamery, that was featured in the Chocolate Festival at the Ashland Springs Hotel every year. I already knew about Dagoba and was anxious to try out a few luscious samples.
We checked into the motel and settled in. We found out about a music festival and decided to explore the town of Ashland. My dog made a lot of new friends, and even sat on the lap of a man in a wheelchair and licked an infant's feet with the permission of the parents. Not surprisingly, we got lost a few times, walking back to the car and then once in the car. But the people were so friendly, it didn't matter too much.
When we got back to the motel, I read through the motel's little local guidebook, and noticed another chocolate company to check out. Silly Rabbit Chocolate Company. Little did I know that this would be the BEST chocolate I have EVER eaten, far surpassing some of the better known companies by a mile. Apparently, the company was right down the street, too. Convenient and easy, too.
I didn't know what to expect when I arrived at Silly Rabbit. There were balloons outside and inside a girl dressed up like a bunny, ears and all. Had I been transported to Chocolate Bunny Heaven? I told her that I was writing a chocolate travel guide and she introduced me to the founder and chief chocolateer B. Sterling. B was a hoot and let me taste some of the most amazing creations I have ever had the good fortune to gobble up. He infuses each chocolate with a wonderful sense of humor, good taste and fresh top quality and often locally grown ingredients, herbs and essential oils. B is a graduate of Ecole Lenotre School of Fine Cuisine in Paris) and has twenty years of creative excellence in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland. B was named the Pastry Chef of the Year Award from the James Beard Association.
Apparently, Silly Rabbit had just opened its doors a few months before. I told B once the word spread about his offerings, everyone would come to Ashland to visit Silly Rabbit and forget about Shakespeare!
Each tasty treat is homemade, imaginative, innovative, plus they offer free samples every day. Some of the wonders that I noted included chocolate dipped fortune cookies, hand painted bitter chocolate, with Siberian ginseng, Damiana flowers, and Egyptian jasmine, and the Syrah grape wine from Pascal, a local winery, B reduces the wine down to its essence, mixes wine with chocolate, adds Chinese Szechuan peppercorn, and voila. Divine chocolates.
Now for some of the most amazing chocolate samples I've ever had… B gave me hot chocolate to drink. No, i know what you are thinking, but this was nothing like the hot chocolate you get at the ice skating rink. This hot chocolate was totally addicting… made with real Xocaitl, just like the Mayans used to drink. Mixed with French dark chocolate cocoa powder, Jacksonville, Oregon wildflower honey, choptle chili pepper, Mexican chocolate, and salt, there are no words to describe how utterly delicious and with a bit of a kick!
Now I don't even like white chocolate so the next sample really surprised me. It was made with wild jasmine flowers, white chocolate, local Jacksonville, Oregon wildflower honey and lavendar, alaea, sundried fish from Hilo, Hawaii… so many flavors rushed into my mouth, the aromas swirling all at one time. Are you getting the picture that this is not your supermarket variety chocolate. I had died and gone to chocolate heaven.
And there were more samples to indulge in! The blood orange candy made with fresh basil leaves, and French white chocolate (Valrona), bravissimo.
And the caramel flora, italian floria, diSecilia, has a honeysuckle, jasmine or magnolia-like flavor, Fruity and fragrant, I felt like I could not possibly sample anymore of the good stuff, I was in such a state of chocolate euphoria!

WHO is going to pay for the damage, and who is going to pay compensation, following the breakdown in law and order resulting from the recent illegal protests and riots in Northern Ireland?
Unlike public representatives, whose salaries are paid to them by the taxpayer on a regular monthly basis, traders, shopkeepers, restaurateurs and hoteliers have initially to attract their customers, to pay for stock and staff, perhaps service a bank loan, and who also pay rates and taxes.
Theirs is a daily struggle to make a profit or merely to survive in the current recession.
Who is going to take responsibility, and to whom can those who have suffered loss and damage, turn to in this crisis?
The Stormont Executive has shown itself, through lack of effective leadership, to have been wanting in authority.
The PSNI is failing in its duty "to make Northern Ireland safer for everyone, to contribute to increasing public safety and bringing those to justice who break the law".
Illegal road protests should have been nipped in the bud and prevented in the first week of December.
The Shadow Secretary of State, the Labour MP Vernon Coaker, has said: "This violence would not be acceptable in London, Cardiff or Edinburgh."
The Northern Ireland Policing Board has the statutory obligation "for holding the Chief Constable to account for the effectiveness and efficiency of the PSNI."
They should have told him weeks ago to enforce the law, or quit.
So we are left with the question, who is going to pay for all the loss and damage suffered?
Anyone who has suffered economic loss should consult a solicitor and, at the same time, contact all their MLAs, as well as their MP.
It is only in this way that a framework can immediately be set up, as was put in place after the English riots, to see that compensation is paid promptly.
Moreover, some formula should be devised for rates relief for those who have suffered.
A possible formula might be for a full rates rebate for the month of December, and also for a rates holiday, or substantial rates reduction for the first three months of this year.
Businesses also need positive assurances that there will be proper policing policies to deal immediately, and adequately, with any future illegal protests.
Simultaneously, the concerns of the protestors must be promptly and properly attended to.

so i haven't watched more than 14 live pitches of the world series since 2003. just didn't have the heart to watch it. i'm also a steelers fan (don't hate). so traditionally, as the cubs season ended, usually in august, i'd go full bore into the nfl season. in recent years, i put on hold my nfl start waiting for baseball to end, each year hoping it would end in late october.
hasn't happened. yet.
this year's WS was palatable, because i have family in and near philly. i still remember when the phillies won in 1983 and how ridiculous they were (i was like 12 then). i even thought i'd watch some of this year, then i simply couldn't. i watched when chase and ryan went back to back on sat because i was at a bar, then went back deep into my corona and stopped watching. i watched a little bit on monday night because i was at a bar, and it was on. then it got suspended.
after the super bowl, you usually see some shots of the losing team (losers) sitting and watching. i always thought that was ridiculous. when i lost, i'd be quick to shake hands and then leave asap (note to belichick: you do this after that game is over, not when you feel like it, you jerk face). i never understood the self-torture and self-loathing you must put yourself through to watch someone else's unbridled joy at the expense of your own misery. i never understood it. i never would do it.
however, i just watched a clip of the last lidge pitch and celebration. literally, a tear fell down (i'm freaking 37 and still cry about sports?!?!), and i just self-miserated. wondering, wondering, yet still hoping: substituting all that red with blue, hearing just faintly one last "go cubs go!"
i don't think i'll do that again, and hopefully, after next year, i won't have to. i was going to post the link here, but you guys know where to find it, and many of you don't want anything to do with this...
i am filled again with anger, sadness, misery, and hope again. i hate being a cubs fan. i love being a cubs fan.

ADDISON — Addison Town Council members voted 4-3 to keep Tom Hunse on the Planning and Zoning Commission despite critical comments he made about Islam.
Hunse posted these remarks on his LinkedIn account to explain why he resigned from the Board of Advisors at Eastern Illinois University's Lumpkin School of Business.
"I resigned in September 2013 from board upon being made aware EIU had named a Muslim to head the Lumpkin School of Business. After pondering the tragic events over the last couple of decades in this country and the role of Islam has played therein throughout the world as a Christian and a patriot. I cannot support the university's decision. I am also dropping any future plans for donations to the Alumni Foundation as a result of EIU's decision."
The comments remained online for a year and were not removed until recently, the town said.
Fifteen days ago, Hunse was appointed to Addison's Planning and Zoning Commission.
"I regret those comments," Hunse said standing before the Council. "I made a mistake."
"In my almost 65 years, I've conducted myself honorably," he added. "I ask that you accept my apology."
But Hunse never explained why he brought up the dean's religion in his post. He only told the Council that he disliked the selection process.
"I didn't think before I hit 'enter,' and I had no thought incubation before I hit 'enter,'" Hunse said.
He also never retracted his comments about the dean's religion.
Council member Chris DeFrancisco proposed firing Hunse after learning of the comments. "We must reject bigotry," he said.
DeFrancisco added that he thinks Hunse cannot fairly look at town business, and shouldn't represent Addison.
"We are charged with protecting the town, and outsiders are watching," DeFrancisco explained, adding that potential new businesses and tourists could be impacted by the Council's decision.
Council member Bruce Arfsten said his decision to fire Hunse wasn't personal or political; he said the Council has a responsibility to protect the Addison brand.
"Words have consequences," Arfsten said. "The honorable thing to do would be for Tom to resign."
Everyone agreed Hunse's comments were unacceptable. At issue was how far the Council should go in punishing the new commissioner.
Other Council members said Hunse's online posting about Islam did not rise to the level of termination.
"It was reprehensible, but one comment does not make the man," said Council member Mary Carpenter, adding that Hunse has not done anything in his role with Planning and Zoning to show cause for his removal.
"Mr. Hunse's post on LinkedIn does not reflect on how we do business in Addison," said Mayor Pro Tempore Blake Clemens. He went on to say that the comments were "offensive," but added it would be "wrong and a dereliction of duty to remove him."
The Council spent two hours discussing Hunse's future.
Hunse even called several friends to defend his reputation. All of them said his statement does not reflect on their dealings with them.
"I do not believe Tom is a bigot," said fellow Planning and Zoning Commissioner Ivan Hughes. "I believe this was a terrible, careless choice of words."
"Although you have a tough decision, this is a fine man," said Chuck Chamberlain, another friend.
"It reflects poorly on Tom, and that's his business," Mayor Tom Meier said. "But it reflects poorly on the Town of Addison, and that's my business."
"These posts existed beyond one moment of indiscretion," the mayor added, saying he would vote to terminate Hunse.
Still, DeFrancisco, Arfsten and Meier did not have enough support to remove Hunse from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Hunse's supporters said he deserves a second chance.
But the Council will consider publicly admonishing Hunse at a future meeting.

I feel it is my duty to give some perspectives on the myth of needing a "true number one wr" that we all hear so much about. Before we go and plunge headfirst into the draft with the intentions of upgrading our wr corps, I would like everybody to think back on the development cycles of some pretty good wide receivers. I wonder if some of the fans thought they needed a number one while these guys were coming along.
Below are some pretty good players following natural growth periods
Derrick Mason didn't gt a thousand yard season until his 5th year. Wouldn't last long with our fans.
TO took 3 seasons to break a thousand yards, and wasn't "good "until his 5th
Chad Johnson's rookie season 28 329 and 1 td. Brandon Gibson did that in half a season last year.
It took Reggie Wayne 4 seasons before a thousand.
Lee Evans and Steve Johnson both got a thousand in their third year.
Deion Branch has never gotten a 1000 yard season, in fact no patriot receiver got a 1000 yards this year. Their running back barely cracked a 1000 with 1008 yards. They are the best offense on the planet. How can that be possible.
Braylon Edwards 3rd year, Holmes 3rd, Sydney Rice 3rd, Miles Austin 4th, Roddy White 3rd.
Vincent Jackson took 4 years and only had 3 catches for 59 yards his rookie year. LESS than Gilyard. BUST..And he is the one we are drooling over right now.
Steve Smith had 10 154 his rookie year. Other Steve Smith 8 for 63.
Is there anybody out there who watches football that can see more than the game that is on right this very second? Give Donnie Avery and Danario Alexander a chance. They might both be true # one WRs. Allocating resources to a position that we might be able to solve inhouse would be a huge mistake. There are positions where we have no talent. Those are right guard, both outside linebackers, strong safety, and Gary Gibson's defensive tackle spot (robbin's spot will be a problem in the future, as will Hall's end spot).

STMicroelectronics and University of Amsterdam Faculty of Science use advanced MEMS to soar with birds
STMicroelectronics and the University of Amsterdam Faculty of Science have announced that a sophisticated bird-tracking system developed by the university is using advanced MEMS sensing technology from ST.
Weighing as little as a 20 euro cent coin or a US quarter and smaller than a car key so as not to impede the birds' flight, the tracking systems are sophisticated data loggers that can be attached to the back of the birds. The trackers enable valuable scientific research on bird behavior by measuring GPS position every three seconds.

For a play born of frustration, this farcical whodunit is remarkably lacking in malice. Denied the rights to Woody Allen's comedy Death, writers Dan Callahan, Brendan Connor, and Tom Dunn decided to stage the real thing. Set at a funeral home on the eve of Allen's burial, the show is more of an elegy than a roast. Soon-Yi, Mia, and the dreary films he's been churning out for a decade hardly receive a mention. Here the Allen oeuvre stops at Bullets Over Broadway, and Diane Keaton remains his one true love. The show takes aim instead at the celebrity culture that surrounds Woody. Its success is as uneven as Allen's recent career. Peter Loureiro plays Christopher Walken as "a spirit in the material world," while Michael Somerville's Leonardo DiCaprio decides to renounce his celebrity status and visit "a place called Costco." But the play gets sidetracked by its own mechanical plot, and many of the celebrity characterizations remain disappointingly one-note. There are smart laughs in this work, butlike its subjectthey're maddeningly inconsistent. For a great comedy about Allen, your best bet is still Annie Hall.


text: "When a game creates its own poetry, however, it's another matter entirely. Sometimes it's a simple attempt to convey a clue or plot point to the player, but in many cases it exists solely to flesh out the game's universe (or maybe give us a cheap laugh). Now, being a self-proclaimed frustrated former English major, I know some of you may not find this as interesting as I do, but I feel it's worth it to take a look at those moments when video games try to take part in one of humanity's oldest artistic traditions. Yes, verily, it's an easily traced line that runs from Virgil to Keats to Mass Effect 2. Don't believe me? You shouldn't. But read on anyway!" w/ videos

Kent City Council members voted to buy the AMETEK property on Lake Street tonight for $106,000 .
The purchase passed unanimously by council Wednesday.
Kent City Manager Dave Ruller said AMETEK is essentially donating the 15-acre, 288,000-square-foot complex so it can move into new space being built by Fairmount Properties downtown.
The catch, Ruller said, is that the city has to continue the environmental cleanup efforts AMETEK has started on the property. He added that the city already has $500,000 set aside to address any potential remediation.
Councilman John Kuhar asked if the city knows how much it will cost to clean the property, which has been used for manufacturing for almost 100 years.
"We don't know yet," Ruller said. "The two estimates we have put (cleanup costs) at about $500,000."
The property has already been through both phase one and phase two environmental studies under the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Volunteer Action Program. And Ruller said the city has talked with EPA officials about obtaining Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund money to help pay for any necessary cleanup.
The city will take ownership of the land after AMETEK begins its move into the new downtown project, which likely won't start until late next year.

Who's hot and who's not? (Don't call it a comeback DTR, I've been here for year-sz Version.)
As an equal opportunity poster, I felt obligated to give the Offense their due, and make a guesstimate of the Offensive depth chart. For those of you who seem to be horizontally challenged, please set your SBNation to Wide. There was a ton of stuff in this chart, and you will have trouble viewing it all in the narrow format. I have to admit, I had a lot of fun making these charts, and trying to decide upon where guys fit, or how they are performing, by trying to gleam bits and pieces of information from all the wonderful folks here at Arrowhead Pride. Amazingly enough, it seems as if the starters on our Offense are already set. Most of the roster prognostication deals mainly with depth, and the wide receiver group. The wide receiver competiton is probably the best position group battle of the bunch. Check out Connerman's nice take on the state of the WRs. They definitlely have more questions than answers. And as always, Shout Out if you see it any different...
I must start with the Quarterback position for two reasons: it is the most important positon on your football team, and this position has our most prized offseason acquisition in Matt Cassel. I have felt the rumblings of the staunch Thigpen supporters in many a comment on AP, but quite frankly, how can you NOT be excited about Matt? I am not saying that he is a world beater yet, but he is by all current accounts a great leader, hard worker, and a very accurate passer. Bones is great, but there was many a game last year that I looked upon my TV in disgust as a Thigpen pass went sailing high. Tyler is athletic and plays with a ton of heart, but some clipboard seasoning might do him some good. Brokie is still a capable #3 if he can overcome the injury bug. Along with Ingle Martin, this is one of the deepest position groups on the offense.
The tailback position is not the strength it once was, but it is solid and has a few different types of running backs that we can utilize. LJ is apparently "stuck" with us, because we can pay him the most money. But that's ok because we can use him well in our new offense. We will pass to set up the run, and this should bode well for Johnson as he should see some big holes in opposing defenses late in games. Charles will definitely see more work in a Reggie Bush like role this season, and Kolby Smith is an adequate fill-in RB if he can stay healthy. But I think that he will be pushed for his roster spot this season by Javarris Williams. Williams was touted as a dark horse who could surprise at the next level. I would not be surprised to see him win the #3 spot because of his versatility, and the fact that he is one of Pioli's guys. As for Jackie Battle, last year he was slightly on the radar because he did so well in training camp. Well, he is running with the first team again, but what should we take from that? Probably nothing. Savage will likely only earn a roster spot if he can beat out Quinten Lawrence at the returner position.
The fullback spot has had little press so far this season other than the blurb about Mike Cox bowling over some defenders. That is good to hear, because I am not sure that Mike's history with Offensive Coordinator Chan Gailey will be enough to keep his spot on this roster. I think it will, but I found it interesting that the Chiefs traded back up to draft Tight End Jake O'Connell. I think they view him as an H Back type player that is versatile enough to play multiple positions, which is completely in-line with the Pioli philosophy. Williams also has the size to get a look here, which also increases his shot at the 53 since he could play both FB and TB. The Chiefs are not likely to keep more than 5 total RBs so...just saying. This might be one to watch.
The offensive line seems to be set at starter with McIntosh, Goff, Niswanger, Waters, and Albert. But the only acsending player here is Albert. Niswanger is young, but he will be challenged by Ghiaciuc and Wade Smith. I think Wade Smith did a good job filling in last season when Jones was injured, and it says a lot that he is playing with the 1st team at Left Guard while Troubled Waters is MIA. Goff is a welcome addition, but he will not likely be in KC for very long. McIntosh is our starting right tackle for now, unless young guns Richardson and Brown can push him for playing time. You can tell by all the sideways arrows that most of these guys could go either way. I am really hoping that this is the season that we see at least one of our young lineman assert themselves and win a starting spot on this line. Edwin Harrison, Tavaris Washington, Barry Richardson, Brian De La Puenta, Herb Taylor, ....somebody?
The wide receivers will be battling it out for the next 2 1/2 months or so, and I am looking forward to this as much as any other roster battle on the offense. I think we can all say that Bowe's spot as #1 is already assured, and Bradley and Engram should fall in right behind him. But neither one of them is without risk. Bradley's troubles have always been his lack of availibililty on the football field, and Bobby Engram is reaching the magical age of 36, where all receivers get a 6th gear so they can still get open. Uh, sure they do. I will say that Engram is a quality receiver who never let me down in Fantasy Football two years ago. That has to count for something? I would then slot Devard Darling and Jeff Webb as the 4th and 5th receivers on the roster, followed by Copper, Jones, Lawrence, Johnson, and Wright. Somebody also has to be Engram's heir apparent to the slot receiver, so a lot of these guys will get a look there. Best chance to break into the 53 as a WR: Copper or Jones. I think Lawrence makes it as our returner.
Considering that most of the starter spots are already spoken for, I am a little surprised there is so much to discuss in regards to the '09 Chiefs offense and the state of the depth chart. But the real success of this unit, like it or not, is riding on the arm of #7. Make no bones about it.

100 days until London Assembly elections
4:50pm Tuesday 24th January 2012 in News
With 100 days to go until the capital's mayoral and London Assembly elections, a website has launched to provide information on the poll.
London Elects has begun a three month campaign, informing Londoners about when and how they can vote. It also includes details of the areas of life affected by the work of London's mayor and assembly members including policing, transport, housing, planning and the environment.
The election for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly takes place on May 3 and around 5.8 million people are registered and eligible to vote.
People from London Elects will also visit every borough in the coming months, while a fact-packed booklet will pop through residents' letterboxes.
A recent YouGov poll showed Labour's Ken Livingstone with a two-point lead over current Tory mayor Boris Johnson.

Review about Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)
------Performed by A Flock Of Seagulls | 07/15/2007 11:00:00 AM
I had forgotten this one....!!
Its basically a good song and good lyrics , but I have been spoilt, as the version I know better is from the C4 Show "Boys will be Girls".AKA - by The Honeytraps........!!
Much faster with a more solid beat. Better all round arrangement .
But without the original the cover would not have happened ...!!! (so often the case ) , eg Gloria Jones -"Tainted Love" , and Judy Street's "What" - both covered by Soft Cell.
Many people don't even realise the originals exist.....!!
Thanks to Tony Banyer for submitting the review.
