Weekly tax highlights, December 1, 2011
December 1, 2011
Taxpayer relief deadline is December 31, 2011
In a November 21, 2011 news release, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reminds taxpayers and tax registrants that requests under the taxpayer relief provisions for the 2001 tax year and any reporting period that ended during the 2001 calendar year must be filed no later than December 31, 2011.
Under the taxpayer relief provisions, the Minister of National Revenue has discretion to cancel or waive penalties and interest, among other things, upon request by a taxpayer within a 10-year limitation period.
The CRA has noted that it accepts the Federal Court of Appeal decision in Bozzer v. Canada (2011 FCA 186) which provides a more generous interpretation of the 10-year limitation period for interest relief than that previously applied by the CRA. As a result, the Minister may now permit the cancellation or waiver of interest that accrued during the 10 calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the request is made, regardless of the year in which the tax debt arose.
The CRA also confirms that this change not only applies to the interest relief provisions of the Income Tax Act and of the Excise Tax Act, but also to interest relief requests made under the Air Travellers Security Charge Act, the Softwood Lumber Export Charge Act, 2006 and the Excise Act, 2001.
EI and QPIP premiums for 2012
The CRA, which administers the requirements relating to Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, has announced that the maximum insurable earnings for 2012, applicable to all provinces and territories, will be $45,900 – up from $44,200 in 2011. The employee premium rate will be 1.83%, for a maximum annual premium of $839.97 ($786.76 for 2011) for the country except Quebec and 1.47% for Quebec, for a maximum annual premium of $674.73 ($623.22 for 2011). The employer contribution will remain at 1.4 times the amount of the employee premium for all provinces and territories, unless the employer qualifies for a reduced rate. These rates are published in the CRA's draft publication T4127, Payroll Deductions Formulas for Computer Programs.
Revenu Québec recently posted the 2012 Table for Québec Parental Insurance Premiums. The maximum insurable earnings subject to Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) premiums will be increased to $66,000 for 2012 ($64,000 for 2011). The employee premium rate will be 0.559% for a maximum annual premium of $368.94 ($343.68 for 2011) and the employer premium rate will be 0.782% for a maximum annual premium of $516.12 ($481.28 for 2011).
Entry into force of tax treaty between Canada and Italy
The Convention between Canada and the Government of the Italian Republic for the Avoidance of Double Taxation with respect to Taxes on Income and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion that was signed on June 3, 2002 has finally been ratified and entered into force on November 25, 2011. In Canada, its provisions have effect in respect of tax withheld at source on amounts paid or credited to non-residents on or after January 1, 2011 and in respect of other Canadian taxes, for taxation years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
The Convention replaces the tax convention signed on November 17, 1977. Under the 1977 treaty, the withholding tax rate on dividends and interest was 15%, and most royalties were subject to a 10% withholding tax. The new treaty limits the rate of withholding tax to:
- 5% for certain non-portfolio dividends and 15% for all other dividend payments
- 10% for interest, and
- 5% for royalties in respect of certain computer software, patents and know-how and 10% for other royalty payments
An exemption for certain interest and copyright royalties is also provided. The full text of the treaty can be found on the Department of Finance website.
The Fiscal Monitor – budgetary deficit of $13.2 billion for the period of April to September 2011
In the November 2011 edition of The Fiscal Monitor, the Department of Finance provided an overview of the budgetary deficit for the first six months (April to September) of the 2011-2012 fiscal year. The deficit in September was $2.5 billion. Thus, the total deficit for the six month period was $13.2 billion, compared to a deficit of $17.4 billion reported in the same period last year. For the six months combined, revenues increased by $4.3 billion, or 3.9%, to $114.4 billion. Total program expenses in that period were $111.8 billion, down $0.4 billion, or 0.4%, from the prior year.

Continue up and over the saddle - careful of the loose rocks, down the old ampitheather and circle right around the butte back to the accessible trail. The trail markers are brown and blend in with the landscape - however the trails are well worn and easy to locate.

Establish a system and specific place for keeping your child's medical records, including detailed information about all medications, past and present.
About 1.5 million drug mishaps occur in the United States each year, and thousands result in fatalities. Managing medicines are a serious matter, but you can keep track of your child's medications safely and effectively by utilizing a number of management techniques:
- Create a personal medication list. Write down all medicines that your child takes (prescription and over-the-counter) with times per day, dose, form (pill, liquid, injection, cream, drops), reason for use, and start/stop dates for each. Include any drug allergies, side effects, or sensitivities to which your child is prone.
- Recording forms can be printed from the AARP website. Or you can call 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277) and ask for stock number D18589.
- Keep a copy of the personal medical list for your reference, give a copy to your child to carry with him/her at all times, and keep a copy in your child's medical records notebook.
- Provide a copy to both the doctor and pharmacist for their review. (Update the list any time there is a change, and ask them to check for possible drug interactions each time.
- If possible, have the instructions for all medications adjusted so they can be taken on the same schedule.
- Get to know the pharmacist and simplify record-keeping by using the same pharmacy to fill all prescriptions and to purchase over-the-counter medications and supplements. Pharmacists have more detailed information about medications than doctors do, and they can make helpful suggestions to both you and your doctor about alternative prescription possibilities and dosing. In addition, the pharmacy's computer program can do a quick medicine interaction check.
- Carefully read any documentation that comes with each medication, especially directions and warning labels.
- Consider the use of a pill organizer. They are available in daily, weekly, and monthly configurations. Some even allow for multiple daily dose times − morning, mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon, and evening. Keep the responsibility of filling the pill organizer and dispensing the medication yourself; this is too critical to risk with even the most responsible of children.
- Insist your child follows all medication instructions exactly.
- Insist your child eats a consistent, nutritious diet with a variety of foods to help alleviate drug-food interactions.
Basic Rules for All Medicines
- Never take medicines from another person.
- Don't mix medications unless directed by your physician.
- Take medicine at the doses and times prescribed.
- Never take medicines past their expiration dates. (The drug's chemical composition changes and no longer has the intended health effect.)
- Store medicines in a cool, dry, dark place to prevent the chemical composition from breaking down.
- Store medicines in a safe location where children and strangers have no access.
- Keep everyone's medications in separate places so no one takes the wrong ones by mistake.
- Open medicine bottles over a flat surface, such as a countertop, to make a pill easier to find if it's dropped.
- Remove the cotton plug, which attracts moisture, from medicine bottles.
- Keep oral and topical medications in separate places.
- Never throw expired or unused medicines in a wastebasket where pets or children have access.
Herbs and Homeopathic Medication
- Consider herbal products and other natural medicines the same as drugs because they can cause side effects and interact with each other or with traditional medicines.
- Remember that the Food and Drug Administration does not test herbal products like traditional medicines: there is no guarantee of the exact strength of the ingredients.
- Look on the label for the words "meets USP standards," which indicates the product has been tested for quality and purity.
- Only choose products that clearly state the name, address, and phone number of the manufacturer or distributor on the label.
- The container should be fitted with tamper proof protection that has not been broken.
- Since herbal products such as ginkgo biloba, kava, or St. John's Wort can interact with prescription medicine, learn as much as possible about the product before taking it.
- If your child has diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, an autoimmune disease, a blood clotting disorder, a psychiatric problem, or other serious medical condition, avoid herbal products unless under the supervision of a doctor.
At the Doctor's Office
When the doctor is prescribing a new medication, ask:
- What are the alternatives? Anything besides medication?
- Why is this the best treatment for my child?
- Is the generic version okay?
- If this drug is new, is there a drug with a longer history that would work as well?
- Is there a drug with fewer side effects?
- Is this the lowest dose my child can begin with?
- Is there a drug that would be better for my child that's not on his/her approved drug list? Can the doctor request it? (insurance appeal or pre-authorization)
- How will we know the medicine is working?
- How long will that take?
- How long will this medicine continue?
- When should we call back to discuss whether or not there has been an improvement?
To aid in double-checking the accuracy of the prescription, have the doctor write on the prescription:
- The reason for the medication
- Both the brand and generic names of the medication
At the Pharmacy
When filling the prescription, ask the pharmacist:
- To make the label with large print
- To include what condition it treats (the reason for the medication) on the label
When picking up the prescription, the pharmacy staff will have you sign a statement certifying that counsel about the medication was declined. Even if you already signed this, you can still speak with the pharmacist.
Try to be there when the drugstore isn't busy so you can ask as many questions as you want. During the consultation, ask for:
- A review of the updated personal medication record
- A thorough explanation of dosing for the new prescription
Some possible questions for clarification about the new prescription include:
- When to take it? How many times a day? At what hours of the day?
- Okay to take at the same time as other medications?
- With or without food or drink?
- How long before eating or after eating?
- Okay to split the pill or crush it into food if difficult to swallow?
- Does this medication have special storage requirements? (refrigeration, etc)
- If a dose is missed, should it be made up? If so, when?
- Should any activities be avoided?
- What side effects are more likely for younger people?
- What, if any, side effects might be dangerous and warrant emergency attention?
- How many refills?
- What if the prescription runs out?
If There's a Negative Reaction
Since young bodies absorb and excrete drugs differently, it's important to know how your child normally reacts to drugs in order to detect something unusual that might need medical attention.
If your child experiences an alarming side effect or drug interaction, call the doctor or pharmacist immediately. Possible symptoms that need reporting include:
- Headaches
- Blurry vision
- Ringing in the ears
- Palpitations
- Dizziness
- Coordination problems
- Diarrhea
- Skin rashes
- Swelling
- Indigestion
- Constipation
- Memory problems
If symptoms indicate something life threatening, call 911.
Be prepared to provide important information:
- What symptoms were experienced and when? How are these different than he/she normally experiences?
- What information is on the drug container label? (Have the drug container with you for the call.)
- When was the medication taken?
- Could anything else have caused the symptoms?
Monitor How Drugs are Working
Note any changes in how your child feels when taking the medication, write them down, and remember to tell the doctor or pharmacist. If no changes are noticed, ask the doctor when you should report back to discuss whether or not your child has noticed any improvement.
Insist on a medication review at least once a year. For each medication on the list, ask the doctor, "Is this still needed?"
If a medicine has been added to treat the side effects of another medicine, this is called prescription "cascading." Instead of piling on more medicine, ask the doctor if the first drug could be adjusted or replaced to alleviate the problem.
If tests are necessary to monitor ways the medication may affect a person's body (internal organs, for instance), make sure you and your child don't miss or postpone these appointments: They are key to avoiding dangerous side effects.
Also, write down the results of the tests. If more than one health professional is involved in treating your child, let each of them know the results of the monitoring tests.
Additional Resources
An abundance of information is available to educate yourself about prescription drugs. But heed a word of caution: Don't rely on online drug research without taking into consideration your child's individual circumstances and medical history. Read the available material about safety, effectiveness, and price comparison; then consult the doctor, pharmacist, or other health provider before making changes.
The FDA Drug Safety website provides helpful drug-safety information, such as new drug warnings, drug label changes, shortages of medically-necessary drug products, and recall alerts.
AARP's Drug Research guide summarizes what current medical research says about particular prescription drugs.
AARP also provides a Drug Directory to help you decipher drug labels, compare drug effectiveness and costs, check for food and drug internactions, and provide over-the-counter drug safety tips. The website includes a drug-search tool.
For other medicine management questions, you can call AARP at 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277).
The National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE) offers some great ideas on medication safety and questions to ask medical professionals. Visit website or call 301-656-8565.
Consumer Reports (CR) offers a site to recommend particular drugs for different medical conditions. They tell which ones they consider to be a best buy and why. Other CR documents are linked to expand on the drugs' safety, cost, and effectiveness. New drug reports appear each month.

Great producer
Good rapper
Shit humanbeing!
This is a total lack of respect, regardless if people care for Taylor or her music. This arrogant cockhead demeaned & stole the spotlight and moment from antoher artist..who happens to still be a teenager! Fuck his apology he is only sorry because it back fired on him & was boo'd throughout the whole night by his peers & fans! He wasnt sorry when he did the EXACT same thing to that European band, so he obviously never originally learned from his action the 1st time! But now that he looks like a total fuckhead he wants to act like his a caring apologitic person.
To no surprise Mayweather was on a talk show days after applauding Kanyes stunt and mistaken the boos & backlash for getting 'attention' all night! Both these ignorant cocky fuckheads deserve public beatings!

Union slams HMRC plans that would see 49 jobs put at risk in Sussex
6:00am Friday 14th February 2014 in News By Finn Scott-Delany, Business editor
Scores of tax advice offices which provide a lifeline to vulnerable residents are set to close.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has announced plans to shut its entire network of enquiry centres in Sussex, putting 49 jobs at risk.
A new "flexible, face-to-face support service" will be rolled out in spring for customers needing help with taxes, tax credits and child benefits.
But unions said it made no economic sense to axe jobs from the department.
- Inferno which severely damaged flat started accidentally
- Calls for pub to be closed after series of offences
- Spilt party drug at Brighton police station causes major alert
- Fire fighters kept busy by string of arson attacks
- Rumpus councillor is still working for Green Party MEP
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union, said: "HMRC has failed to make the case for closing these offices that provide a lifeline for vulnerable taxpayers.
"These closures seriously undermine the Government's claim it wants |to ensure people pay their taxes, and |it makes no economic sense to continue cutting jobs from the very department that collects the revenue that funds the public services we all rely on."
HMRC has ten enquiry centres in Sussex, at Bognor, Brighton, Chichester, Crawley, Eastbourne, Hastings, Haywards Heath, Horsham, Lewes and Worthing.
The 49 staff across the county, including 11 in Brighton, will have three options: to work within the new service, apply for jobs elsewhere in HMRC or other Government departments, or take a voluntary exit package.
The department said a small minority of its 40 million customers use its centres, with demand halving from five million visitors in 2005/06 to fewer than two million in 2013.
The new replacement service is |being set up for customers to resolve issues with advisors on the phone in one go.
Mobile advisers will be able meet those in need of a face-to-face appointment at Government or community buildings or at a person's own home or business.
The new service is expected to save customers £17 million per year in lost time and travel costs and save taxpayers more than £27 million each year.
Ruth Owen, HMRC director general for personal tax, said: "Our enquiry centres offer a great service to those who can reach them.
"But they are spread unevenly |across the UK, the number of people using them continues to fall and our research shows that the majority of customers who do use them don't actually need to.
"The new service will enable us to tailor help in a way that works better and is more affordable."

It's not uncommon to see students working on cards before Christmas. But after the shooting in Newtown, Conn., these cards aren't about joy.
"Just one person is a big deal, but to lose a whole 20 would be tragic, I can't even imagine," said Colin Schroeder, an 8th grader at St. Catherine's-St. Mary's Elementary.
They are designed to bring comfort to the kids at Sandy Hook Elementary, who are coping with the loss of their classmates. At a recent faculty meeting, Remsen St. Mary's teachers looked at a recent tragedy in their own community for inspiration.
"Other schools sent us spiritual bouquets, which were very uplifting and we thought this might be something to do for the people of Newtown," said Elizabeth Gibney, principal.
"Every class is doing something different, so hopefully everyone has something different and just goes through to them," said Roman Staab, an 8th grader.
"We're putting flowers on it, and we're putting prayers and telling them we feel sorry for them," said Wesley Galles, a 3rd grader.
Each class prepared cards by hand, or on the computer. Then, all 150 students signed their names to the cards to show their support.
"We're thinking of them, we're praying for them. And we know that we at St. Mary's, we know what it feels like," said Jacob Wesselman, an 8th grader.
"It tells them we're here for them, if they need it," said Hannah Loutsch, an 8th grader.
Their own loss makes them want to help others.
"I hope they feel like everyone around them wants to help them and everybody's praying for them and we're here for their support," said Catherine Russell, an 8th grader.
The students are hoping this outpouring of support will complement the support coming from other parts of the country and let Sandy Hook's students know they're not the only ones who care.
"That cross represents that God will always be with them, and when they read it, I hope that it just gets to them," said Mitchell Schiltz, a 7th grader.
With each signature, they're lending their love and sending grace, to a place nearly 1,500 miles away.
The cards from each of the classes were mailed off today, so that the kids can hopefully get them by Christmas.

Duluth, Ga. -- Nationally ranked Miller Grove became the 10th team in Georgia history to win three straight state titles in boys basketball on Friday. The Wolverines (32-1) defeated Rockdale County 67-59 in Georgia's Class AAAA final at the Gwinnett Place Arena.
Rockdale, seeking its first state title, never led and once trailed by 15 but was tied 53-53 with 4:37 left. From there, Miller Grove went on a 9-1 run and held Rockdale to only one more field goal.
Miller Grove played without Henry Brooks, a 6-8 senior forward and the team's second-leading scorer.
Tony Parker, a 6-9 junior post player, was plenty to keep Rockdale on the ropes inside as he scored 21 points and had 13 rebounds and five blocked shots. Brandon Morris, another 6-8 forward on what many consider Georgia's best high school front line, scored 11 points.
Miller Grove's guards were outstanding, especially in the first half. Justin Colvin, who replaced Brooks in the starting lineup, scored all 11 of his points in the first half. That included two 3-point shots. Devon Provost scored 12.
Rockdale (26-6) was led in scoring by Bernard Thompson, who had 14 points. Carren Wilson and Darion Clark had 12. Kevin Ware, a guard who has signed with Tennessee, was limited to five.
Miller Grove is ranked in the top 25 of several national polls and has a shot at a final Top 10 national ranking. Miller Grove coach Sharman White believes his team's three-peat was more difficult than many nationally might imagine.
''It's extremely challenging because we've got a bull's eye on us all year long,'' White said. "We played some of the best teams all over the country. It prepared us for this.''

Effective January 1, 2014, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development switched to the new high school equivalency test developed by McGraw Hill called the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, or TASC. It is computer based, although a paper-based test is available. You'll see reference to PBT (paper-based test). The state formerly offered the GED (General Educational Development) test from GED Testing Service.
There isn't a lot of information about the new test on the Indiana site, but there are links to the TASC site, where you'll find lots of info.
Indiana does provide free programs to help adults learn math, reading, and writing, and you'll find links on the Indiana site to those services.
Good luck! Whatever you call the test, come back and share your experience with others: Which Part of the GED Test Is Easiest/Hardest?

2008 - In 2000, His Highness the Aga Khan initiated a programme for the establishment of an integrated network of schools, called Aga Khan Academies, dedicated to expanding access to education of an international standard of excellence. The Academies, which will educate young men and women from pre-primary through higher secondary education, are planned for key locations in Africa and Asia. The first such school, the Aga Khan Academy in Mombasa, began operating in August of 2003.

Top state officials are considering what more can be done - particularly after one lawmaker ensnared this week, Assemblyman Eric Stevenson, was secretly recorded reciting recent punishments in corruption cases ranging from two to seven years in prison.
But they offered no immediate answers Friday.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara questioned how much the work of both state and city government "is tarnished by tawdry graft" while announcing probes landing six politicians in handcuffs and forcing a seventh from office.
While promising to keep making arrests, he says public corruption in New York "is more than a prosecutor's problem."

The pet friendly Inn, located high in the Catskill Mountains of New York, on a 250-acre private lake about two hours from New York City, hosted its first guests in 1984. Like resort lodging, this pet friendly Inn provides a variety of summer and winter recreational facilities, including the use of a nearby full-service health and fitness club. But unlike larger hotels, the Inn, with just 17 guestrooms, is an informal, casual country retreat that assures guests a relaxing, private, rustic mountain lake environment. Breakfast is served on the screened veranda, surrounding guests with the sounds and feel of the lush green forest. When glassed in during winter, guests experience the beauty of a surrounding snowscape.
Over the years, the Inn has received various awards and has been praised in travel articles and publications, as well as by guests themselves on Trip Advisor. The Inn consists of three distinct dwellings: The Lodge with its casual English Country environment; and for more rustic accommodations, the Adirondack-style Cottage and Carriage House guestrooms with their own private entrances, where pets are welcome. In addition, most of the guestrooms have working fireplaces, whirlpool baths and private sundecks.

I was just checking out my DirecTV showcases and was surprised to find a 7 minute tutorial on hitting by none other than Tony The Gwynn. The full video ( 15+min) can be seen here: http://www.sportskool.com/home.jsp#
A few key points for those that don't want to watch:
- Batting gloves shouldn't have wrinkles. Wrinkles create blisters...a hitter's worst enemy.
- Put your weight in the right spot. Or as Gwynn says, "Make sure you feel your behind under you"
- Gwynn shouldn't be wearing a poncho.

Local paralympic body looks to broaden scope
BEDFORD, England — Come Rio 2016 at the next Paralympic Games, the Jamaica Paralympic Association (JPA) hopes it will have representatives in more than just track and field, but in as many sporting disciplines as possible.
That was the stated view of Christopher Samuda, president of the JPA, during a meeting with Jamaica's High Commissioner to London Aloun N'dombet-Assamba, at the Jamaican High Commission's Prince Consort Street offices in South West
London yesterday.
The three members of the Jamaican team — Tanto Campbell, Alphonso Cunningham and Sylvia Grant — were on hand to meet the
High Commissioner.
Campbell, the team captain who will carry the Jamaican flag at the Opening Ceremony, officially presented the High Commissioner with a Jamaican Paralympic Games pin.
Echoing a concern stated by Jamaica Olympic Association's (JOA) president, Mike Fennell just over a week ago that Jamaica should have been represented in more than four sporting disciplines at the recent Olympic Games in London, Samuda said they would be starting a drive to attract others in Jamaica into sports such as swimming, fencing, pistol shooting and archery for disabled persons.
Samuda also asked the High Commissioner for whatever assistance they could provide in securing funds and raising awareness of Paralympic sports in the island.
The entire delegation will return to London today when the athletes and Games officials will move into the Athletes Village in Stratford, east London to continue preparation for the Games that begin on August 29.

Okay guys! This is for you. You need to learn to sew. (or at least to learn the basics) There are going to be times when you need your clothes to fit and nobody has their heart into the project as much as you.
Sewing isn't for everybody. It's a whole different animal than wood shop. Any fool can cut a piece of plywood 5 ¼" x 27 ½" because the material is hard and flat and it doesn't change shape while you're working with it. Cloth, on the other hand, is soft and pliable. It will wrinkle, wad-up and make you look like a real ditz. But enough of that. Let's talk about the "WHY?"
Example: While I was in high school I met the girl all guys dream about. She was beautiful, poised, the real socialite and her dad was president of Armco Steel Corporation. She went nice places with upper class people and I was her guy. Well, you don't take out a girl like that wearing a suit off the rack from J.C. Penny and unless you have the dough to spend on a personal tailor you'd better learn how to sew a 5/8" seam.
I needed a tuxedo. Ever try to buy one? Don't. A tux is something that's tailored for you by a professional and unless your dad owns Monsanto Chemical, you're out of luck. Even if you aren't dating the Kardashian sisters, there are times when you need something special – unique. Often, you don't want to let it out what you're up to. I don't know who made Superman's costumes but Spiderman had to make his own.
You can have a barrel of fun at costume parties, making your own outfits; not the hokey stuff they sell in novelty shops, but real, made-to-fit costumes. Or maybe you're into horse racing and need a jockey outfit or your girl needs an English riding outfit. You're the guy that can make it happen! Did you see the Three Amigos?
It would be best if you would first take a few classes to see if you have an aptitude to work in this new medium. Not everyone is going to be cut out to be a tailor and I have to admit that I learned a few new words while trying my hand with the slinky nylons and silks. There's a trick to polyester. When they'd ask me if I was a tailor, I told 'em, "NO! I'm a SEAMSTER!"
Buy some cheap material to practice on and learn how to lay out the pieces to save as much material as you can. But be careful – cloth has a 'grain' much like wood and you need to be able to match the grain on intersecting pieces or it'll look like your kid brother made it.
I gave up on those hokey Butterick patterns. I couldn't find what I wanted and they never are the right size or shape to fit you. That's an artform in itself. That flimsy tissue paper has to be pinned onto the fabric you're using. (Sometimes I cheated and used my Swingline stapler.) If you use the tissue patterns, you'll probably give up and toss the whole project into the circle file before you know what it's all about.
No. I got smart. I went to the Goodwill store and found a pair of pants that fit me through the waist and butt. They were bright turquoise and they were too short but that's okay. I took them apart with a seam ripper and guess what? The pieces already had the necessary seam allowances and they were already folded and pressed into the right direction so when I put it all back together it was a snap. The cloth pieces lay nicely on the new material and almost stick to it, unlike the exasperating tissue paper. At that time in my life, Disco was tops and Tom Jones was King. The pants I picked for my pattern was snug in the seat to accentuate my gluteus maximus. Then I extended the inseams and outer seams to create a flare to the cuff. (You'd have to have lived back then to relate.) Look at Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever" and you got it.
Well, almost. Unless you've put the legs and crotch of a pair of pants together a time or two, you'll lose your mind trying to figure out how it all ends up sewn into something that hugs your buns. Let me tell you, my tux was a smashing success and when the other guys figured out what I could do in that regard, they carried money to my door for their creations.
I bought a Sears "Lady Kenmore" zigzag and read up on the machine from the instruction booklet and used the buttonhole attachment and the ruffler to see what they did. Yep, I had a ruffled shirt to go with my outfit and it was (as they say in the British films) "Quite Smashing".
I spent a lot of nights with Lady Kenmore before I learned what I needed to know to just get by.. There were a couple of books out back then by Simplicity on basic sewing that were invaluable to get started. The book that saved my sanity was "Sewing for Men and Boys." I don't know if it's still in print but you need one. Look to see if Amazon has one. I learned the hard way. It's not easy to learn from reading a book and if you can find a teacher it'll save you a lot of frustration.
What I suggest that you do is give Margaret a call and set up some lessons with her and it'll be well worth whatever she decides to require as payment. Money well spent. If you decide it's not for you, you won't have your money tied up in a machine you're not going to use and (here's the best part) you'll have some experience that you couldn't acquire much any other way. Who knows? You just might have a lot of fun getting into it.
If you go into the military (yeah khakis that don't fit look like you've slept in them) you can tailor your own shirts and pants to fit and you'll be one sharp trooper! If you take to your new hobby you can make it your vocation. I knew a guy in California that made a lot of clothes and costumes for the top rated actors and he was paid handsomely. At least give it a good chance and check it out.

MORE than 140 swimmers competed at the annual Donald Swimming Club meet on Saturday.
Horsham won the meet ahead of Stawell, Donald, St Arnaud, Warracknabeal, Ararat and Casterton.
District 12 publicity officer Jenny Ough said it was a great day – even with the blazing temperature.
"There were a huge number of
swimmers and considering the heat, the pool was a pretty good spot to be," she said.
"It was perfect water temperature for racing. They were really warmed up and it was a nice change from some of our colder meets.
"The heat and conditions were managed really well by Donald Swimming Club."
Because of the high temperatures, there were two 10-minute breaks during the meet.
"Everyone present was able to access the pool and cool off," Ough said.
"This was greatly appreciated by all swimmers and spectators."
She said it was the largest swimming meet of the season.
"The individual medleys are a favourite event for the swimmers at Donald, and had many entries," she said.
"The 10 to 11-year-old girls were one of the largest groups with 27 swimmers competing in this section."
Team points for the day were: Horsham 449, Stawell 345, Donald 344.5, St Arnaud 211, Warracknabeal 198, Ararat 136.5 and Casterton 34.
The Ross Shields Memorial Perpetual Standardised Aggregate Trophy was awarded to Donald Swimming Club with Stawell Swimming Club finishing runner-up.
Ararat Swimming Club will host the next swim meet in the series at Stawell Leisure Centre on Saturday.

Software development isn't all about the code. In fact, coding is part of the overall project lifecycle. The project phases are a slightly modified version of the classical sequential model that is appropriate for a lot of projects. However, you shouldn't think that this model is universal throughout the industry and that it can't be modified; on the contrary, almost each business applying this model adapts it to the specific needs of real situations.
The typical software project includes the following phases:
- Requirements Analysis and Definition. System Overview
- Estimation
- Functional Specification and UI Prototype
- Software Architecture and Test Plan
- Implementation (Coding) and Testing
- Release. Delivery and Installation
Operation and Maintenance
Below you will find a brief description of these phases: Requirements Analysis and Definition System Overview
You should determine and document the vision for the target product or system; the user profile(s); the hardware and software environment; the most important components, functions, or features the software must have; the security requirements, etc.
The product of this stage is the general system requirements (and sometimes, draft user manual). This document will be modified as the project is undertaken.
This is a phase that is usually obscure to customers. An estimate should explicitly list what is included in the price, as well as why and how much any additional features will cost. The estimate isn't the only document that results from this phase. The project contract (or project bid) and rough project schedule usually come into existence at this point, too.
Functional Specification and UI Prototype
A functional specification determines what exactly the target system must do and the premises for its implementation. All requirements should be thoroughly defined and documented. The general system requirements and other documents created in the first phase serve as input here. Depending on the nature of the system, creating a UI prototype in this phase may be crucially important for the success of the project.
Besides the functional specification and UI prototype, this phase may also result in creating an exact project plan that contains the project schedule, milestones, and human resources.
Software Architecture and Test Plan
In this phase, it is necessary to determine the system components covering your requirements and the way these components will work together. The software architecture design may be logically divided into two parts: general design and detailed design.
The general design consists of the structural design, development strategy, and system design documentation. Working out the general design, developers break the target system into high-level components and describe them in the context of the whole system.
When it comes to the detailed design, specification and documentation on each component are developed. The general system requirements, functional specification, and UI prototype serve as input for this phase.
Completing this phase, the description of the software architecture, the algorithmic structure of the system components and their specifications, the documentation of all design decisions, and a thorough test plan should be produced.
Implementation (Coding) and Testing
The goal of this phase is building the target system based on the specifications developed in the previous phases. Transferring the specification algorithms into a programming language, performing code reviews and test cases, as well as unit, integration, and system tests are other key activities of this phase. Comprehensive testing and correcting any errors identified ensures that components function together properly, and that the project implementation meets the system specification.
Release, Delivery and Installation
In the release phase, the target product or system must be transferred to you. The key activities usually include installation and configuration in the operational environment, acceptance testing, and training of the users if necessary.
A crucial point here is formal acceptance testing which comprises a series of end-to-end tests. It is performed to confirm that the product or system fulfills the acceptance requirements determined by the functional specification.
After this phase is complete, the product or system is considered formally delivered and accepted. If iterative development is used, the next iteration should be commenced.
Operation and Maintenance
The Operation and Maintenance phase begins once you have formally accepted the product or system delivered by the vendor. The task of this phase is the proper functioning of the software. To improve a product or system, it should be continuously maintained. Software maintenance involves detecting and correcting errors, as well as extending and improving the software itself.
The system requirements, user manual, functional specification, and even software architecture design often need to be updated and modified throughout the course of the project implementation. Just be cautious that any changes introduced in the documentation are consistent with your initial vision for the target product or system.

It was a rough day for the U.S. women's hockey team, losing 3-2 to Canada, but a good one for a Hartford Whaler legend.
Kevin Dineen, who once served as the captain of the Whalers, took over as the Canadian team's coach in December.
Things started out well for the U.S. team and coach Katie Stone, who grew up in Watertown, Conn.
The U.S. team struck first, with a goal by Rosemary Choate alum Hilary Knight, assisted by Alex Carpenter and Anne Schleper.
Moments into the third period, Dineen's Canadian team evened it up.
A minute and a half later, Dineen's crew took the lead with a controversial goal. Some said it crossed the line after the referee's whistle blew.
"I did hear the whistle blow before the puck went in," Stone said, according to NBC Olympic Talk. "But what are you going to do? That's what happens. We had a lot of time left in that game. I'm not going to hang my hat on that one."
With almost five minutes left, Canada scored again. The U.S. team answered with one more goat, scored by Schleper, but it was too late.
Another Choate alum, Josephine Pucci played almost 12 and a half minutes and Fairfield's Julie Chu played about 6 and a half minutes of the game.
Dineen was happy about the win, but took it in stride.
"We won tonight," said Dineen. "I'd love to say we could win two in a row. A lot of bounces go in there, those things happen. I'm just hoping we can keep moving forward."

View of both the street and water side
of the Ferry Building Marketplace.
The Ferry Building
The Ferry Building is the start of our 5 Hour comprehensive tour. Here you will meet up with your tour guide and the rest of the group. (MAP to Ferry Building)
It was been an icon to San Franciscans and it's tourists for over a century. The clock tower was built to serve as a welcome reception to the city. The clock tower stands 240 feet tall, and was modeled after the 12th century bell tower of the Seville Cathedral in Spain.
Today it is known for its gourmet, specialty food stores and restaurants. Ferry Building Farmers Market Merchants. San Franciscans love to shop for local, organic and natural grown foods. Four times a week, located outside of the building is the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market where you too can find the same gourmet produce and food that is grown locally and organically. It has been said that you can eat an entire meal for free by trying all the samples that are handed out by the local farmers and cooks.
The Ferry Building is located at the foot of Market Street. For upscale shopping, more restaurants and a movieplex, visit the Embarcadero Center just blocks away from the Ferry Building.
The Ferry Building is the start and stop location of the San Francisco Comprehensive Shuttle Tours. We recommend arriving 20 minutes prior to your tour.

The Copenhagen Diagnosis
On 25th November 2009 members of The Climate Change Research Centre, as part of a group of 26 international climate scientists, were part of a major international release of a new report synthesizing the latest climate research to emerge since the last IPCC Assessment Report of 2007.
There are no time-travelling climatologists: why we use climate models
In the absence of time-travelling climatologists, models are unrivalled tools for understanding our changing climate system. That is, climate models are scientific tools. We should recognise them as such and consider them with rigorous scientific, not political, scepticism.

The Science of Climate Change: Questions and Answers
Co-authored by Professor Steven Sherwood and Professor Matt England of CCRC, this Academy of Science report aims to summarise and clarify the current understanding of the science of climate change for non-specialist readers.

Federation Fellow and 2008 Eureka Prize winner, Professor Matthew England of CCRC, on the latest research into the role oceans play on weather.
New insights into the climate of the past 2,000 years
A comprehensive new scientific study has revealed fresh insights into the climate of the past 2,000 years, providing further evidence that the 20th century warming was not a natural phenomenon. After 1900, increasing temperatures reversed a previous long-term cooling trend. This 20th Century warming has occurred simultaneously in all regions except Antarctica.
The dynamics of the global ocean circulation
The ocean is far from a stagnant body of water. Instead, it is constantly in motion, at speeds from a few centimetres per second to two metres per second in the most vigorous currents.
Leave the ocean garbage alone: we need to stop polluting first
Recent plans to clean plastics from the five massive ocean garbage patches could do more damage to the environment than leaving the plastic right where it is.
Charting the garbage patches of the sea
Just how much plastic is there floating around in our oceans? Dr Erik van Sebille from UNSW's Climate Change Research Centre has completed a study of ocean "garbage patches", and has found that in some regions the amount of plastic outweighs that of marine life.

Sex trafficking is a growing problem across the Silver State, but one non-profit group here in our area wants to put a stop to it.
Awaken INC held a discussion in front of a large crowd at the University of Nevada. They want more people to realize what's really going on in our community.
"You're going to find, like, 200 ads a day locally of girls selling their bodies for sex illegally in Reno," says Melissa Holland.
Holland created Awaken INC a year and a half ago. The group fights against sexual trafficking and exploitation across Nevada.
She says the reason it's such a problem is because prostitution is legal in most parts of the state.
"When you legalize prostitution, you increase the demand to prostitute girls," says Holland. "When you increase the demand, you have to increase the supply. And, that's sex trafficking."
You ask the Reno Police Department, and officers will tell you the same thing. Girls as young as 12-years old, walking the streets.
"We do have statistics that do point out that there is a problem here," says Sgt. Ron Chalmers. "This summer, we recovered 12 and 14 year old juveniles that were walking on our streets in the city of Reno."
Holland pointed out that if the Nevada Legislature passes Assembly Bill 67 though, pimps will face harsher penalties for sex trafficking.
"Right now, to pimp a girl out is called pandering, and you get like a year for it, and that's it," says Holland.
Reno Police are using a lot of its resources to combat the problem. The hope is, by getting the community involved and aware, we can keep it from expanding.
"Will it absolutely go away? I don't know how realistic that is," says Sgt. Chalmers. "But hopefully, we can make it at least in our community extremely minimal."

Multigrade operator
MyWikiBiz, Author Your Legacy — Tuesday September 02, 2014
☞ This page belongs to resource collections on Logic and Inquiry.
In logic and mathematics, a multigrade operator \(\Omega\) is a parametric operator with parameter k in the set N of non-negative integers.
The application of a multigrade operator \(\Omega\) to a finite sequence of operands (x1, …, xk) is typically denoted with the parameter k left tacit, as the appropriate application is implicit in the number of operands listed. Thus \(\Omega\)(x1, …, xk) may be taken for \(\Omega\)k(x1, …, xk).

Transvaginal Mesh Attorney
In women, a vaginal mesh support may be used to repair a common type of pelvic organ prolapse, which occurs when pelvic organs fall out of place, by stitching the connective tissue in the vaginal wall muscle back together.
Transvaginal mesh complications can include:
Brand names of Mesh Implants that many patients have reported problems with consist of:
For patients who have had vaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and are pleased with their surgery and are not having complications or symptoms, there is no need to take any action other than regular check-ups and follow-up visits to the doctor.
Patients with complications or symptoms after surgery should alert their health care provider. If you are still worried and not sure if your doctor used a mesh and/or do not know what kind of mesh was used in your surgery, do not hesitate to call the health care provider who handled your procedure to ask any questions you might have. You may also contact a transvaginal mesh attorney to discuss your legal rights.

Weighing oils:
Using the density of the liquid, calculate the volume of liquid and use a syringe.
Weigh an empty syringe, fill the syringe, and weigh again.
If the liquid is in a flask, and you only need a fraction of it, try this: if you have 90 mg in the flask, and you need 30 mg, dissolve the material in 3 mL of solvent, and remove 1 mL. You can remove the solvent to check the weight. This method is more accurate than you might think.
For small amounts of viscous liquids, weigh an empty pipette, dip the tip in the substance and weigh again. This is not a generally useful method, but good sometimes.
Isolating oils after workup or a column:
Use a heart-shaped flask (it has a pointy end). During rotoevaporation, the oil will become concentrated in the point, making it easy to dissolve and remove by syringe or pipette.
Purifying oils:
Oils can be distilled or purified by column chromatography. The choice of method will depend on factors like reaction scale and boiling point of the oil.
Preparing NMR samples of oils:
Dip a glass pipette into the oil until you have a column 1/2 inch high.
Dissolve the sample in 0.75 mL of the NMR solvent.

Scrambled eggs are one of the first things I learned how to cook. It's a great starting point for teaching kids how to cook (really, if they can make scrambled eggs, they can be self-sufficient). And it's a great jumping off point for exploring your own creativity in the kitchen, too.
See also: How to Cook Eggs Every Way
Once you master the basic method for how to make scrambled eggs, you can vary it all sorts of different ways.
Here are some of my favorite ideas:
- Extra Cheesy Scrambled Eggs - Just before the eggs are done, sprinkle a mixture of cheddar, monterey jack and asiago cheeses on to the eggs. You'll need about 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Scramble the cheese in gently.
- Bacon and Onion Scrambled Eggs - Fry two slices of bacon until crisp. Drain all by 1 Tbsp. of the fat. Add 2 Tbsp. of chopped onions. Cook until the onions are soft, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the scrambled eggs over the onions, and scramble gently. Crumble the bacon over the eggs just before serving.
- Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs - Thaw 1/4 cup of frozen spinach (squeezed very dry) for every two eggs you're using. Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet. Add the spinach and cook 3-4 minutes. Add the scrambled eggs, and cook as directed. About 1 minute before the eggs are done, sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese into the mix. Scramble until the eggs are done and the cheese is slightly melted.
- Mexican Scrambled Eggs - Make scrambled eggs as directed, adding 1 Tbsp. chopped green chiles or chopped, seeded jalapeno pepper, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes and 2 Tbsp. canned black beans, rinsed and drained to the eggs. Serve topped with tomato salsa.
- Ham and Cheese Scrambled Eggs - Just before eggs are done, add 1/2 cup chopped ham or Canadian bacon. Scramble it in. Top with 1 slice of American cheese. Turn the heat off, and let the residual heat from the eggs melt the cheese.
- Herb Scrambled Eggs - This is a great recipe to make when you have leftover fresh herbs from a recipe or an abundance of fresh herbs in your garden. It doesn't matter what herbs you choose - parsley, thyme, basil, chervil all work great. Finely chop 1/4 cup of fresh herbs (it can be a mixture or just one herb) and add to the raw scrambled eggs. Continue cooking as the basic recipe directs.

MAPLEWOOD, Minn. - Most people whose homes fall victim to a storm's fire just chalk up the loss to bad luck.
That happened to David Wright in June, when the dream home he and his wife lived in for just eight months in Maplewood went up in flames.
"This is where lightning struck the house," David explained on Friday, pointing at the side of the garage.
Since the fire, David has done research and worked with his insurance agency on a theory that is likely to be determined as the true cause of the blaze.
David had corrugated stainless steel tubing as his gas line coming from the outside into the house.
Since 1989, new homes are often built with CSST because it's cheaper and more flexible than traditional steel and just makes more sense if it is installed correctly.
Because often it isn't, fire departments across the country have issued warnings.
"There have been many cases across the country of houses hit by lightning and this gas line has been leaking as a result," Steve Zaccard of the St. Paul Fire Department told KARE 11.
In a warning to consumers, the State Fire Marshall's Office said this earlier in the spring.
"With severe weather season in full swing, fire officials want Minnesotans with homes built after 1989 to check for corrugated stainless steel tubing -- a flexible pipe that, if not properly installed, can be damaged by nearby lightning strikes and start a fire."
CSST usually has a yellow exterior plastic coating and should not be confused with natural gas appliance flexible connectors. CSST typically is routed beneath, through or alongside floor joists in the basement, inside interior wall cavities and on top of ceiling joists in attics.
Minnesota Department of Public Safety State Fire Marshal Division investigators have discovered the tubing in southeast Minnesota and say it is likely in homes statewide.
The SFMD is spreading the word about CSST after discovering several cases nationwide where a nearby lightning strike created a power surge that damaged the gas tubing and caused a fire.
If you find CSST after inspecting your home or business, you should contact a licensed electrician to determine if the tubing is properly installed. As of 2010, about six million homes in the United States had CSST.
In David Wright's case, he says his tubing literally had a hole in it caused by the heat of the lightning.
That hole sent gas into the air immediately and within five minutes David's home was in flames. People could see the fire from dozens of blocks away.
Once he looked into the issue, he found out his story wasn't all that unique.
"There are hundreds and hundreds of examples of lighting burning holes through this stainless steel pipe," Wright said.
So why did David come back to the home of his dreams that is now a shell of them? To provide a cautionary tale and a warning to others to get their homes checked out.

HOUMA, La. (KNOE 8 News/AP) - Visitors to Downtown Houma could be recorded on camera within a year.
The Downtown Development Corp. wants to install 30 security cameras on Main Street as part of a downtown restoration project.
Main Street Manager Anne Picou tells The Courier a downtown camera installed on a utility pole in the parking lot by the Roussell Street Bridge has demonstrated its value.
Picou says there hasn't been any vandalism in that area since a camera was installed.
Police Chief Todd Duplantis says the camera records activities that have occurred within the past month, making it easy for officers to check for a specific incident, even when they are unable to constantly monitor the stream.

All Half-True statements involving Rick Scott
"Attorney General Eric Holder's own Justice Department precleared the voting changes in the 2011 law" about early voting in Florida.
"Governor Scott Cut Taxes 40 Times For Florida Families"
"Charlie Crist signed into law an automatic 15 percent annual tuition increase that put college further out of reach for many Floridians."
"Florida high schools are four out of the top 10 in the entire United States."
"The $18.8 billion in funding for K-12 education funding is the highest in Florida history and includes a record $10.6 billion in state funds."
"The FL Guard has defended our freedom in Afghanistan, Iraq, and put their lives at risk; now the fed govt is going to cut their pay 20%."
"We cut taxes 24 times."
"Every Florida teacher gets a pay raise."
Says his proposed education spending "is the highest state funding level in Florida history."
Says his budget provides "the highest state funding level in history" for education.
"In the four years before I became governor, we increased state debt $5.2 billion. We've paid it down $2 billion."
Under Charlie Crist, Florida lost 825,000 jobs and the unemployment rate increased from 3.5 percent to 11.1 percent.
After hearing "the frustrations parents and teachers have with the FCAT," next year "we begin improving our testing system."
PIP fraud is "$1 billion in fraud."
"My recommended budget includes $1 billion in new state funding for education."
"I started with a $3.7 billion budget deficit. Now we are projecting a $1.2 billion surplus."
"A recent study revealed that, across the nation, taxes would have to be increased by an average of $1,300 a year just to support the currently unsustainable public employee pension systems. In Florida, that dollar figure translates to $813 a year."
"In May we generated more jobs than all the rest of the country combined: 28,000 jobs in May for the state, 54,000 for the entire country."
"Studies show that people that are on welfare are higher users of drugs than people not on welfare."
Bing Energy said it decided to move to Florida because of Gov. Rick Scott's "plan to eliminate the corporate tax."
