A new government plan aims to make Ontario the province with the lowest smoking rates in Canada. Health Minister Deb Matthews says the province will provide $2 million over two years to help people hospitalized for smoking-related illnesses stay smoke-free after they recover. She says another $810,000 over the same period will go toward cutting smoking rates in 25 targeted occupations, including the mining and construction sectors. Matthews announced the initiative today as part of the annual National Non-Smoking Week awareness campaign, which began Sunday and continues through Saturday. The minister says the move is in addition to an existing program that has 41 community health centres across the province dispensing over-the-counter smoking cessation products at no charge. Government data show 13 thousand Ontario residents die from smoking-related illness each year, and tobacco-related disease costs the province $1.93 billion in direct health-care costs annually.

Teresa Palmer Visits Adelaide Zoo for National Threatened Species Day
Teresa Palmer understands the importance of conservation and protecting indigenous species, so she is an enthusiastic ambassador to the cause.
"Conservation is a passion of mine as one of my early dreams was to work with an animal rescue service, and eventually open my own animal welfare agency," said Ms Palmer.
President of Zoos South Australia, Heather Caddick said "I am delighted that Teresa is here at Adelaide Zoo today to bring awareness to the plight of Australian species and help educate a new generation of conservationists.
"Teresa is well known for her love of animals and wildlife. Today we are inviting her to be a Conservation Ark Ambassador for Zoos South Australia, as a young 'voice' for conservation, who has an international audience," said Mrs Caddick.
Australia's landscapes and species have been severely impacted by over 200 years of habitat loss and fragmentation, due in part to land development, introduced plants and animals, grazing, pollution, and climate change that all place additional pressure on our threatened species and their shrinking habitats.
Twenty per cent of Australia's animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, with dozens of species already extinct, and more than 150 species of animals classed as threatened. Without action our native plants and animals face a bleak future.
CEO of Zoos South Australia, Dr Chris West said "Zoos South Australia and Conservation Ark are committed to supporting threatened species, and has developed conservation programs for priority species including, Mainland Tammar Wallabies, Bilbies, Black-flanked rock-wallaby (Warru), and Tasmanian Devils to name a few."
The date for National Threatened Species Day, the 7th of September, is significant in that it commemorates the death of the last known Tasmanian Tiger on this day in 1936, and it is vital that Australia's other threatened species do not follow in its footsteps.
Children from Clovelly Park Primary School, St Peters College and Wilderness School will attend as ambassadors for the future; children dressed in red represented a call for action on the urgent plight of threatened species, currently on the brink of extinction, while adults dressed in black represented the threatened species who have been driven to extinction.

Ga. Sea Turtle Center creates children's book
Updated On: Oct 22 2012 12:26:46 PM EDT
The Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island is selling a children's book based on an original story by the center's staff.
The 44-page book, "Scute's Ocean Adventure," revolves around the center's mascot, Scute the Sea Turtle. The story follows the character as he hatches from a nest on Jekyll Island, swims out to sea and eventually returns to the center's sea turtle hospital after eating a plastic bag that he mistook for a jellyfish.
Lori Hunt, the book's illustrator, says the project too years to complete. The basic characters and story come from a puppet show that staff members perform for children visiting the Sea Turtle Center.
Jeannie Martin, a co-editor of the book, says the authors worked hard to make the story realistic and educational but also entertaining.

UK comes to the aid of criminals
Two years in the slammer if your dog bites a burglar
The United Kingdom seems to have a lot of concern for protecting the rights of burglars as they commit crimes against law abiding citizens. The case of Tony Martin, convicted of murder (later reduced to manslaughter after an international outcry) in 1999 for killing a burglar in his house with a shotgun was only the beginning. Now comes news from the UK Telegraph that the Wales parliament is vetting legislation that would send dog owners to jail for up to 2 years if their dog bites a burglar in the course of committing a crime.
[The] Control of Dogs (Wales) Bill contains the provision for owners to be jailed for that period if a dog injuries another pet or a person, and to be given an unlimited fine.
The current Animal Welfare Act provides for owners to be jailed for a maximum of six months and fined up to £20,000.
The draft legislation, out to consultation until March 1, provides no defence if a dog bites a burglar, or if the person bitten provokes the dog.
The Kennel Club believes the Welsh Government had "got this one wrong".
» 19 Comments
The UK does not have a justice system anymore, or anything resembling a functioning police force. If you are a law abiding citizen unfortunate enough to be the victim of a crime, better roll up into a ball and hope you and your loved ones are left alive and intact. If you try to defend yourself or anyone else, there is a high probability you will be hauled off to jail, charged, prosecuted then sentenced to prison. The crminal who perpetrated the crime? Well, he gets to testify against you in court then he can go home. The folks in charge of upholding the law in the UK are now outright aiding and abetting criminals, make no mistake about that.+4
The UK is run by evill, passive aggressive sadists. There is no other way to describe this kind of insanity. If the people in the US allow the government to disarm them, we will be the UK on steroids in regards to insane lawmaking designed intentionally to reward evil and punish the innocent for merely defending themselves against evil.+6
Then there was the older guy who went to jail for hitting a burglar with a fireplace poker. Burglar armed with a banned illegal handgun got free healthcare, zero jailtime.+2
are the growing british mooslums just going to sit back and have dogs social status elevated?
just more sparks to light the powder keg !+2
wait did piss morgan just call for the ban of all assault dogs?+3
This is the same fucking country (U.K) that gives sicko's new identities once they leave prison because it is "their human right". Remember years ago when a lil boy was killed by two other children along the tracks. Well the fuckers are out of prison with new identifies one living in the U.S.A the other is back in prison yet again demanding another new identity.+4
Link regarding my comment above… disgusting read.
In regard to this article my only response is "Bite Me!".+4
…only if the dog is a Welsh Corgi or a Welsh Terrier.
So the only solution UK has given its law abiding citizens is to kill the burglar and hide his body? They better make sure their dog can kill or they will have to do the deed.+6
"So the only solution UK has given its law abiding citizens is to"
be a victim !!!+3
The Empire is dead.
The remaining humans should exit at once.
After borrowing all they can and running up their credit cards.+2
You have to understand that the Welsh are the Inbred, Hillbilly, Cousin-Lovin, Six Fingered, Eyes-Crossed, Dirt-Eating Druids of the British Isles. You know, the upper class.+3
Lets see. The U.K. is being overrun with muslims, and they passed a "Control of dogs" law. Interesting.+2
Does this apply to:
A gallon of gas and a match would probably cover up a dog bite pretty good.0
What happens to the burglars who don't give the government their cut of the take?0
Piers Morgan, call your office.0

WASHINGTON, April 29, 1998 In an unprecedented step to protect Amazon forests, the Brazilian government announced its commitment with the World Bank and WWF* to establish 62 million acres (25 million hectares) of new protected forest areas by the year 2000. This is the single largest forest conservation bid ever in the Amazon.
This commitment is the first outcome of a unique alliance between the World Bank and WWF to set aside an ecologically representative network of forests around the world. The alliance aims to help countries set aside 125 million acres (50 million hectares) of forest in new protected areas, and bring 500 million acres (200 million hectares) of production forests under independent certification, by the year 2005. Today's announcement to permanently protect such a large area of Amazonian forest is a significant step in advancing the goals shared by Brazil, other countries, and the alliance.
"The decision by Brazil's President Cardoso to protect 25 million hectares is truly a remarkable one, both for its size and for its content," said James D. Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank. "This decision will help preserve the abundant biodiversity in this remarkable tropical region. It is a true gift to the Brazilian people and, indeed to the world."
The world's forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Nearly two-thirds of the Earth's original forest cover has already been lost. In the past three months alone, forest fires have raged in Brazil across an area the size of Belgium. Home to an astounding one-tenth of the world's plant and animal species, the Amazon contains some of the planet's most important tropical habitats.
"President Cardoso's gift to the Earth represents the first tangible, major accomplishment for the World Bank/WWF alliance and shows what can be achieved when two effective, influential organizations combine their expertise with a farsighted government in an effort to save the world's forests," said Claude Martin, Director General of WWF-International. "It is a crucial step forward for WWF's Living Planet Campaign in its goal to protect at least 10 percent of the world's major forest types by the year 2000."
To launch this commitment, President Cardoso today signed decrees for two new protected areas in the Brazilian Amazon, and two in the Atlantic Forest, together totaling almost 1.5 million acres (600,000 hectares).
The World Bank is the largest lender to developing countries for forest conservation and management. WWF is one of the world's leading conservation organizations, with offices in 120 countries and close working relations with local communities, non-governmental organizations and the private sector in over 100 countries. As such, the alliance represents a promising new approach to the problems facing the world's forests.
WWF launched the Living Planet Campaign in October of 1996 calling on businesses, governments, and individuals to make significant "Gifts to the Earth" before the end of this century. The aim of the campaign is to make the turn of the century a pivotal point in the global effort to safeguard the world's threatened ecosystems, protect endangered species, and to change patterns of human resource consumption that ultimately threaten all life on earth.
Already 22 countries have pledged to include at least 10 percent of each country's forests in protected areas by the year 2000. That 10 percent represents each country's different forest types. These countries are: Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, The People's Republic of China, Colombia, Greece, Lithuania, Malawi, Mozambique, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Romania, Russian Republic of Sakha, Slovak Republic, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.
*WWF is known as World Wildlife Fund in the United States and Canada, and World Wide Fund for Nature elsewhere.

Alexana Winery
Alexana Winery is owned by cardiologist Dr. Madaiah Revana, who also produces a highly touted Cabernet Sauvignon at his Napa winery, Revana Family Vineyard. The Alexana Winery is named after Revana's daughter, Alexandra Revana. After enlisting the winemaking assistance of accomplished veteran Lynn Penner-Ash, Revana acquired an 80-acre property in the Dundee Hills that was planted between 2003 and 2007 to 13 acres of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. 38 additional acres of Pinot Noir were planted to several clones. The first two estate wines, a Pinot Noir and a Pinot Gris, were released from the 2006 vintage.
A new modern tasting room opened in October 2011 at 12001 Northeast Worden Hill Rd in Dundee. The three-story house is LEED-certified Gold. A state-of-the-art winery facility is set to open next door for harvest 2012. The winery produces 5,000 cases annually with a projected production of 8,000 cases.
Revana also collaborates with winemaker Tony Rynders to produce Pinot Noir under the Sitar label

So here we have a successful business model that does not require unskilled uneducated workers, and now we have self interested parties trying to stick themselves in the middle process and the fish, and take a cut of the money. Sure, I am willing to pay a fair price for fish, but I would prefer to pay a lower price even if it means the fish is processed in Portland. The business is working fine and contributing to the tax base. lets not try to fix something that is not broken and encourage other fishery related companies to follow suit and process elsewhere.

After years of talking myself out of working out ("It's too early so I'll go to the gym tomorrow"), hundreds of dollars in unused exercise equipment ("Sure, I'll just replace my office chair with a yoga ball!"), depraved diets with strict regulations ("You mean I can eat all the bacon and cheddar I want as long as I only eat 9 carbs per month?!"), and uninspiring exercise classes ("Oh look, it's another downward dog. Yay."), it didn't seem I would ever find an enjoyable way to get in shape.
As it turns out, I don't like going to the gym. I'm not into yoga and I hate fad diets. What I do like is wearing high heels. Even more so, I like wearing high heels and hanging upside down. Think about it. Is there anything more empowering than climbing to the top of an eight-foot or even twelve-foot pole and inverting your body? Did you ever think you could challenge yourself to do such a thing? Did you ever think you could be capable of such strength and grace? I didn't. All I was looking for was a way to look good naked. After my first pirouette, I was hooked. After my first year, I lost 37 pounds. Since then, I've realized that pole fitness is so much more than a workout—it's a complete transformation.
My love for pole-dancing is no secret. I wear my bruises and calluses with pride. They are mine and I have earned them. Everyday I ask women to take a chance and try something new; to see beyond the stigma of "girls, girls, girls" and discover the true beauty of feminine strength that starts with a single swing around the pole. And to those who give me a sideways glance, I just invite them to sit on it and spin!
I must admit that walking into a Pole Studio was kind of intimidating. ( I have been a Gold's Gym and YMCA rat for roo long!) I was immediately welcomed with a big smile and a beautiful, well appointed, quaint facility. I immediately fell in love with the place and have enjoyed taking Zumba with Nikki and Pole dancing with Jessica. I used to work out at another pole studio in Orlando but really missed the "family " type of atmosphere that Allure has to offer. I like to go to a place where people really care about me,my family and my overall well being. I have found that at Allure and am thrilled to be a new member..BTW I am not in my 20′s but have found a new addiction to feeling great and swinging on a pole. I love it!
I have only taken one pole dance class before and it was in NC. I wasn't very impressed with my first experience so I decided to give it another go. Allure was offering a first class for free so I figured why not. It was INCREDIBLE! The instructor was in amazing shape and she made everything look effortless. Management walked me through the venue and went over everything and was super friendly. It was a really confortable atmosphere. It being a women only facility is one of the best things about it. It's a very clean, fun and inspiring place to get your workout on! I absolutely loved my experience and will be going back…..MANY TIMES!!!
I was – like any woman might be – totally scared and nervous to attend a class here. However, the website was really great at setting my expectations and explaining what the class was going to be like.
The location is great, even though it is rather far from my house. The decor is adorable – super girly – and it's really very clean. They sell Allure emblemed goodies, which I will absolutely buy next time I'm there. My instructor was great. She was patient and made me feel comfortable right away. She had a great playlist and took her time showing us proper movement and how to shake what our mamas gave us. She even took questions at the end of the class. This place is comfortable. A real woman (of whatever shape, size and age) can go here to find or revitalize her inner sexy and also get a great workout. (My poor rear!) I thought it would feel more like a place in which veteran strippers go to get a brush-up on their skills. I'm so glad it's not. The first class is free – so it's definitely worth the try! If you decide not to get a membership, classes are frequent and rather inexpensive so you can pick and choose…which is probably what I'm going to do.
I came to Allure Dance with a curious, yet nervous demeanor. Of course, something so new is going to be intimidating. But after my first class, I knew I was going to be hooked. I couldn't stop thinking about the Pole class I had just taken. Everyone there was so welcoming and informative. They gave me encouraging words and made me feel like I could accomplish anything! I absolutely love this studio. I could go there everyday which I just about do now that I have a membership! I already can feel a difference in my strength and not to mention its a blast, while receiving an amazing workout. I'm so glad I made the decision to join Allure!!
In just one short month Allure has become my home away from home. I have never been an avid student of physical exercise like many others and wasted gym memberships due to lack of interest or time, but Allure has transformed me into a committed student. After just a few short weeks I noticed I had more self-confidence and I was building muscles I never thought I would ever have in this lifetime. More importantly, I have an extra boost of energy throughout my day that put an abrupt end to that draining lethargic feeling I carried with me for many years.
These classes are tailored for ALL women so I would suggest putting any doubts aside and trying the free class. The women who attend the classes are friendly and easy to warm up to. The instructors and managing staff are incredible and more than you could ever ask for from a studio.
After my first class I signed up for a membership and it was well worth. It is a bargain to say the least. Every type of class is perfectly integrated with another and helps you with flexibility and coordination. I went in with a main interest in pole dancing and now I enjoy the stretch and flex classes just as much. So put all the excuses aside and dont miss out on this incredible experience that will leave you smiling ear to ear!
Very fun and exciting way to workout. Instructor was very nice and made you feel confident in yourself (Nita), My friends and I WILL be going back. The studio was also very nice and clean environment.
I hate exercise and I hate sweating BUT I ROCK OUT 3 to 4 nights a week with a huge smile on my face at Allure Dance! This is THEE place to be ladies! Not only is the Allure team INCREDIBLE, and the owner Jojo AMAZING, the studio itself makes me feel like a beautiful woman! Now, every moment of everyday, I crave being at Allure and I crave exercise… fun exhilarating, heart pounding, sweaty exercise! I LOVE the POLE classes, I LOVE the cardio classes, I LOVE the strength classes… each and every class is my favorite class! In summation, this is my favorite place on earth to be and honestly… he DOESN'T deserve me looking this good!!
I am VERY IMPRESSED with the Allure Dance Studio, its staff and the truely original classes they offer! They have created a platform where women can tap into their inner sexiness with confidence. After my first class, I was amazed at how sore my muscles were. I was having so much fun I didn't realize the workout I was actually getting. I am truely enjoying my membership at Allure Dance!!!
Allure Dance is awesome mostly due to the staff and not being too crowded with members yet. The instructors are great dancers and the owner and studio manager are really nice, and the women who come to learn are all fun and friendly. The studio is in the adorable College Park neighborhood and the interior is cute and spacious.
Classes include all varieties of pole dancing, and also piyo, zumba, hip hop, cardio, and many more. Nothing is ever just plain working out, there's always a fun twist.
Definitely a great women's gym where you can be comfortable and get fit while having sooo much fun!!

The Martin C. (Marti) Wiltgen collection consists of an audiocassette and transcript of an oral history interview conducted between Wiltgen and Julie M. Arndtsen during the fall of 1989. Wiltgen worked as a humanities teacher at Mankato West High School. In the interview, he discussed the changes and continuities that occurred during his teaching career. He believed that changing social mores caused the most significant changes in the teaching profession. Furthermore, he noted changes in curricula, teaching styles, and the responsibilities of educators. As a side note, Martin recalled his reasons for opting out of the local teachers' union after years of union activism.
This oral history interview was conducted as a requirement for the graduate level Educational Foundations course entitled History of Education in American Culture at Mankato State University in Mankato, Minnesota.

Frank KasselaFrank Kassela was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1968 but lived much of his life in Memphis, Tennessee but most recently moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. The father of five children spent many years as a businessman, and it wasn�t until the year 2000 that he began to play poker with an eye for the skills involved. Kassela took his poker abilities from home games to the tournament circuit in 2003, and though he only played the occasional tournament, he produced solid results. His first was a third place finish in a pot-limit Omaha tournament at the Jack Binion World Poker Open, then he placed ninth at the World Poker Tour Aruba Poker Classic, and his next cash was fourth place at the following year�s World Poker Open. As the years went by, he became more serious about his game, though his first actual major win didn�t happen until he took down a preliminary event at the L.A. Poker Classic in 2009. The year for Kassela to shine in poker turned out to be 2010. He took on the World Series of Poker and won in a big way. He cashed six times, but of those results, two were wins. His first WSOP bracelet came in the $10K seven-card stud hi/lo-8 championship tournament where he won $447,446. And his second piece of WSOP gold came only weeks later in a $2,500 seven-card razz event. He was the only double bracelet winner of the 2010 Series, and his latest results catapulted his lifetime tournament earnings to more than $2 million.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY -- Ten emaciated dogs were rescued from a home in Rockingham County. But since the Rockingham County Animal Shelter doesn't have the resources to properly care for such severely neglected dogs, the Humane Society of Charlotte stepped in to help. Rescuers described the conditions the dogs were living in as "deplorable." "We went inside the house and basically the whole floor was covered in fecal matter," said Brittany Hughes with the Rockingham County Animal Shelter. "Everything from the sofas, to the chairs, to the crates that were inside with their bedding. It was just completely covered with their own debris." A woman tried to run her own rescue operation from the house, but couldn't take care of all ten animals. "You want to save a life, but you just keep adding and adding to your home," said Hughes. "And with the cost of bedding, the cost of food." "Unfortunately, the person trying to care for them all, it got out of control and ended up like this," said Donna Canzano with the Humane Society of Charlotte. Canzano said all of the dogs are in various states of emaciation and neglect. Veterinarians with the Humane Society examined all the dogs to give them immediate medical treatment. The animals will then be placed in foster homes with families who can give them all the essentials - medication, food, water, attention and love. "We're getting them out of the shelter system," said Canzano. "They just need to be in a quiet, loving home to start this rehabilitation process." Kim Dillen has been a foster mom for the Humane Society for almost eight years. She said the rescued dog she will be working with is one of the most severe cases she's ever seen. "He's obviously very malnourished," said Dillen, her eyes welling with tears. "He's going to need a lot of time and attention and IV fluids over the next few days." Dillen is taking him home Toto make sure he gets the best possible chance to recover, and the chance for a new life.
To help these dogs the Humane Society of Charlotte needs Science Diet Puppy Food, gently used towels, dog beds, fish oil capsules and latex gloves. These items, or any monetary donations, can be dropped of at their shelter on Toomey Avenue.

Where did hotel rates worldwide grow the most in the first half of 2012?
A new study says that cities across Latin America experienced some of the strongest hotel rate increases during the period, with Mexico City leading the way.
Of the world's top 50 cities, Mexico City's hotels reported the highest increase in average room rates - 30% in local currency, thanks to rising demand and limited new supply, according to the survey by Hogg Robinson Group. The company specializes in travel, expense and data management systems. Mexico City is the world's fifth-largest city.

ALSO ONLINE: Bookmark USA TODAY Hotel Check-In travel blog
ALSO ONLINE: Photo tour of NY's iconic Algonquin Hotel
Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo reported rate increases of 15% and 23% respectively, according to the survey.
"The results present an intriguing picture of where businesses are channelling travel spend," says Stewart Harvey, a Hogg Robinson executive, in a press release.
"Macroeconomic weakness and uncertainty are driving room rates down across mainland Europe, but the significant growth in room rates across the Latin American region indicates a shift in business priorities towards high potential destinations," he adds. "Businesses are not necessarily spending less on travel, but they are certainly looking for ways to make existing budgets work harder."
Hotel rates across Europe fell or remained flat due to the ongoing financial crisis.
Other highlights from Hogg Robinson's survey of the world's top 50 markets:
Most expensive hotel city: For the 8th year in a row, room rates in Moscow top the list of destinations monitored by the firm. Hotel prices in Moscow rose 3% in local currency over the past year.
No.2-priciest city: Lagos emerged as an expensive place to stay for two reasons: The high volume of business travelers going to work in the oil industry, and their tendency to book luxury hotels due to security concerns.
Fewer rate increases than 2011: Only 23 cities showed a year-over-year increase in rate and three have maintained the same rate. That's fewer than last year's 33 cities that showed a year-over-year rate gain.
Tokyo gradually recovers: Room rates in Tokyo increased by 4% as the region continues to recover after the deadly earthquake and tsunami in 2011.

It's day three of our MFT teasers, today we are featuring two Clearly Sentimental stamp sets. Clearly Sentimental About Abundance and this month's Triple Scoop set, Clearly Sentimental About Christmas. I decided to ink up Clearly Sentimental About Christmas. This set is just filled with fabulous Christmas sayings.
For my first card I stamped the sentiment on a piece of X-Press It card stock. I sponged the edges with some Distress Ink. I used a number of prints from the Lily Bee Designs Jingle collection. Is is just me, or are there a ton of gorgeous Christmas paper collections out this year?
The card stock is Riding-hood Red and Sno Cone. I added touches of glitter around the sentiment panel, along the icicles and on the snowflakes.
I used the gorgeous new Icicle Border Die-namics die. I have a feeling that I will get a ton of use out of this die! I layered lots of my favorite Die-namics dies for the sentiment on this card. I used the Layered Labels Die-namics, and the Sweet Stack Die-namics. I also used the 1/4" Rosette Die-namics die. I added a few snowflakes using the Die-namics Let It Snowflake dies.
My second card also features Clearly Sentimental About Christmas and the new Oval Dainty Doily Die-namics die.
The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock. I added a bit of stitching with some DMC floss. To finish off the card I added a bit of black bling. I used a Houndstooth embossing folder to give the card a quilted fabric look. The papers and card stock are the same as those on the first card.

I was disappointed to have been unable to make the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Congress last week in Moscow. It's a historic event, in its fifth year, that gathers startup champions from around the world--entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, thought leaders and policymakers--to work together to help bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare. This kind of annual assembly has contributed to the expansion of a global entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting experts and entrepreneurs across borders and sectors to unleash their ideas and transform innovation into reality.
In perusing last week's headlines (and a few stragglers from the week prior), I realized I was drawn to numerous articles pertaining to entrepreneurial support beyond that in the United States. For those who don't know, my work at Kauffman allows me to travel a bit--about 100,000 miles a year to be exact.

Etsy Take Five Tuesdays
Hello friends, it's Tuesday and time for my Etsy picks for the week. Yesterday, I had a phone interview with Good Housekeeping since they wanted to talk to me about my upcoming book and were curious as to how I find so many good shops on Etsy for this column each week (honored!). I was very flattered that the writer follows this column and knowing that inspired me to keep it going for 2011 as I toyed with the idea of discontinuing it. You can look for me in the May issue of Good Housekeeping, where I'll share some of my favorite Etsy shops and others online that specialize in vintage finds for the home. Now onto my picks for the week. I hope that you like them!
The beautiful watercolor prints by Amber Alexander in Vermont feature whimsical animals that will no doubt captivate you.
Miles of Light nature prints and cards are completely captivating. I imagine them looking so lovely in a variety of rooms, they really touch my heart!
Have a dog? Silly Buddy will steal your heart with doggy bow-tie collars and fantastic leashes in fun prints and patterns. These are soooo cute….
Have a whale of a time with these tissue holders from Gnome Sweeet Gnome.
English Muffin Shop has the sweetest art for kid's and the young at heart in her shop, which is based out of Montreal, Canada. Love her pretty world maps the most!

Oh! Those whale tissue holders! I was just looking at my tissue box the other day and thinking that I needed to knit or sew a cover, because it really looks so ugly all by itself, but now I think I'm going to buy one of those whales! It's way cuter than anything I could make, and I'd rather support an entrepreneur than put hours into a DIY project :)

the cool thing about blogging
I've had to very quickly pull together a social media straetgy for a project I am working on. The timeline I had was a few hours. I'm certain that only due to the fact that I've been an avid blogger for a few years was I able to meet the deadline. Blogging creates great habits. It forces us to consider our chosen topic deeply and regularly. (startups & marketing in my case) It forces us to respond to our ideas quickly, to trust their value and publish them anyway, before tomorrow comes. It's a personal newspaper and our readers want to know what's new everyday. They're not looking for perfection, but inspiration.
Whatver we do, are interested in and regardless of our industry, blogging is a must for those of us wanting to get better and faster.
6 Responses
Well thought out post Steve. I tend to agree with you. Funny enough it's not something that i've ever seen anyone note (whether in a blog or not).
Blogging in a way returns us back to being academic, thinking deeply about issues instead of relying on what we already understand.
I am stealing your "They're not looking for perfection, but inspiration." quote and posting it above my desk. I've worked in advertising for several years and it just dawned on me that this is exactly what clients want too. I am awfully perfectionistic and can honestly say that it is my greatest weakness. My problem is that I often justify it as an asset.
This is my first visit to your blog. Thanks for the epiphany.

(202) 514-2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) today announced highlights of their work during the past year to defend and enforce federal tax laws.
Since 2001, the Justice Departments Tax Division has brought to justice hundreds of people who evaded their federal taxes or otherwise violated the internal revenue laws. The division has obtained hundreds of civil injunctions to stop the promotion of tax scams and the preparation of false and fraudulent tax returns, and has criminally prosecuted numerous tax fraud scheme promoters.
To curb the marketing of tax shelters to corporations and individuals, the Justice Departments Tax Division has helped the IRS to identify and pursue nearly every customer who engaged in certain abusive tax shelter transactions, while at the same time pursuing the professionals who designed, facilitated or accommodated the underlying tax shelter transactions.
Taxes are how we pay for what we ask our government to do for us. People who pay what the law requires deserve the assurance that those who dont, and those who promote or facilitate tax evasion, will not get away with it, said Eileen J. OConnor, Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division. The Tax Division is using all available law enforcement tools to identify and punish tax offenders and to recover tax revenues.
The vast majority of Americans pay their taxes honestly and accurately, said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. We enforce the law because people deserve to know their neighbors and competitors are doing the same.
Bringing Fraudulent Tax Return Preparation to a Halt
The Tax Division continues to bring civil injunction suits to stop tax preparers who habitually prepare bogus tax returns. In response to the governments efforts, courts across the country have barred tax preparers from preparing inaccurate returns.
Since January 2001, the Justice Department has sought and obtained injunctions against more than three dozen tax return preparers, including 18 since January 2006. It expects to obtain many more injunctions throughout the year. The United States recently has obtained injunctions that barred the following schemes by tax preparers:
The Department of Justice also has obtained injunctions against employers who fail to withhold, account for, and pay over employment and withholding taxes and against return preparers who prepare related false returns.
Stopping Tax Evasion
During fiscal year 2006, the Justice Departments Tax Division authorized prosecutions of nearly 1,200 defendants for tax crimes, an increase of more than 34 percent over the number authorized for prosecution in 2001. The Tax Divisions criminal enforcement priorities include investigating schemes that involve:
Stopping the Promotion of Tax Fraud Schemes
Since April 2006, the Justice Department and the IRS have vigorously pursued the promoters of tax fraud schemes to stop their activity and to warn would-be promoters that promoting tax fraud schemes leads nowhere but to a federal court injunction or to a long stay in jail.
Since January 2001, the Justice Department has sought and obtained injunctions against nearly 200 promoters of tax fraud schemes, including 66 since January 2006. These injunctions have stopped promoters from selling tax evasion schemes on the Internet, at seminars, or though other means. The tax-scam promoters the government has sought to enjoin have cost the U.S. Treasury an estimated $2.5 billion, and have had an estimated 500,000 customers. Among the governments results in this area are:
Curbing High-End Tax Shelters
During the past year, the Justice Department and the IRS have continued their vigorous enforcement efforts against the promoters and facilitators of abusive tax shelters. Abusive shelters for large corporations and high-income individuals have cost the U.S. Treasury billions annually, according to Treasury Department estimates. The Tax Division also has had great success in federal court defending the U.S. Treasury against tax shelter-related claims of large companies and individual investors. The Tax Division is currently litigating approximately 86 tax shelter cases or groups of cases, including 47 separate cases involving the Son of BOSS tax shelter. Among the successes during the past year in this area are the following:
Coordinated Civil and Criminal Proceedings
The government brings both its civil and its criminal tools to bear in the fight against tax fraud. An ongoing tax scam causes continuing harm to the federal Treasury and it leaves participants owing taxes, interest, and often, penalties. The government does not wait until a criminal case has been developed to take action to stop the scam. Rather, the Justice Department brings civil injunction suits to stop both the promotion of tax scams and the preparation of false or fraudulent returns. Additionally, in appropriate cases, the Justice Department brings criminal charges against the promoters, preparers, and scam participants to punish them for their unlawful conduct.
Further details about these and other tax enforcement cases are available on the Tax Divisions Web site http://www.usdoj.gov/tax/, on the IRSs Web site http://www.irs.gov/, and on the IRS Criminal Divisions Web site http://www.ustreas.gov/irs/ci/.
The Justice Department encourages anyone who has information about suspected tax fraud to report it to the IRS Web site at http://www.irs.gov and click on the links Contact IRS and How Do You Report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity.

The Parochial House in Belturbet was broken into on Monday. Monsignor Michael Cooke tells Joe of his experience at the hands of 3 raiders armed with a lump hammer and knife.
