Hubbardton Forge - The Modern American Blacksmiths.
Hubbardton Forge, American manufacturer of hand forged iron lighting fixtures, first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. The Vermont based company scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade in order to revive the nearly forgotten craft of hand-forging raw metal into functional art. Today, they have established themselves as a company whose products are recognizable for their quality, timelessness, and functionality.
Hubbardton Forge's designs are classic, elegant, and original. Form and function are inseparable in every piece. From heavier gauge metals, custom turnings and superior internal components, to environmentally sound powder coated finishes, Hubbardton Forge strives to create structural integrity ... products that will endure.
All Hubbardton Forge products include a lifetime warranty. See details.

Colorado's so-called 'Right-to-Work' Ballot Initiative
A group calling itself A Better Colorado is pushing a ballot initiative to make Colorado a right-to-work state. It's a catchy title. I mean, who doesn't want a better Colorado?
Unfortunately, what they've neglected to mention is that statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that in right-to-work states
workers have a consistently lower quality of life than in union security states—e.g., lower wages, higher poverty and less health care. So, how is right-to-work going to give us a better Colorado?
Moreover, as a Screen Actors Guild member, you need to understand that right-to-work would allow a non-union person to work a union job
without paying anything
. That's right! We would be supporting a bunch of freeloaders. In a right-to-work state, non-members are entitled to work the same jobs under a union contract, receiving the same pay and pension and health contributions without ever having to join. Every time a non-union person works under a union contract, it undermines our power and weakens our union. In the long-term, right-to-work laws have the potential to lower the bar for everyone.
The Colorado AFL-CIO and Denver Area Labor Federation (DALF) have aptly renamed the A Better Colorado (aka right to work) campaign '"Work for Less." DALF has held several organizational and training meetings for AFL-CIO locals. Leadership has been trained in how to engage both the public and media in a dialogue on the issue and why working for less is bad for Colorado. The CO Branch has sent representatives to all meetings, and we have voiced our desire and willingness to be at the forefront. But it's going to be a tough battle.
Unfortunately, on April 9, organizers of "Work for Less" filed more than 133,000 signatures with Secretary of State Mike Coffman's office. They needed only 76,000 valid signatures to get the measure on the November 2008 ballot, and the necessary signatures were verified.
Organized labor is countering with several ballot initiatives of our own, including Just Cause, which would restrict the ability of companies to fire workers, and Corporate Fraud, which allows a private citizen to sue a business or its employees after a corporate fraud.
Gov. Bill Ritter held a high-profile closed-door meeting April 7 in his Capitol office asking both sides to stand down. To date, neither side has backed off.
The governor hasn't given up, according to his spokesman Evan Dreyer, and will continue to try to keep these issues off the November ballot.
If you'd like to take an active role in helping fight "Work for Less," please call the Colorado Screen Actors Guild office at (720) 932-8193; (800) SAG-0767 or e-mail Julie Crane at
In the meantime, stay tuned for updates...
House Bill 1355—Film Incentive Legislation
Although it had broad statewide support from the media, citizens, legislators, business and labor, House Bill 1355 was voted down last month by the House Finance Committee. HB 1355 would have created a $25 million dollar tax credit program to help put Colorado back in the film business, like many of the states that surround us.
After nearly three hours of testimony from over a dozen industry supporters, including Screen Actors Guild member John Ashton and filmmaker Irvin Kershner, the House of Representatives Finance Committee voted 6 to 5 not to pass the legislation.
I want to thank the Colorado Film Commission, Colorado State Representatives Tom Massey and Cheri Jahn and all our members who participated in this endeavor.
Needless to say, this is an enormous setback to the industry. Colorado will not have a competitive incentive program to attract new business.
On the bright side, we will be back again next year and have another go at it. The legislators supporting a Colorado film incentive program say they have not given up and will continue to attempt to bring Colorado into the 21st Century of film.
I'm hopeful the November elections will be kind to us. Be sure to find out where the legislators and candidates in your area stand on this vital issue.

Film on the Rocks
Red Rocks Amphitheater
Tuesday, June 17
Film on the Rocks
, now in its ninth season, presents an incredible night of live music. followed by a popular movie (to be determined), at one of the best natural amphitheatres in the world.
To celebrate Screen Actors Guild's 75th Anniversary, Colorado SAG members will enjoy two complimentary tickets (including free parking) and revel in the festivities in their own VIP section. SAG will be honored at the event with a special introduction.
Doors open at 6 p.m. Members are encouraged to arrive early and check out the band beginning at 7 p.m. The movie starts at dusk (approximately 9 p.m.)
An RSVP will be required. Please look for your official invitation in the mail. The Colorado Branch contact person is Tamara Decker at
or (720) 932-8193.
The Colorado Branch would like to thank the Denver Film Society for helping us to make this great night possible.
David Stoddard serves as the secretary-treasurer of the Colorado Branch Council. He is also very active on the national scene, serving on four SAG committees.
When did you first get your SAG card?
DS: I got my card in 1975, after doing two national commercials (one for a bank and one for KFC).
How did you get so involved with SAG at the local level?
DS: For a long time, as a Wyoming member I got shuttled off to Hollywood. When they changed my branch affiliation to Colorado, I went to my first meeting and got nominated and elected from the floor for a council seat. I think it has been about six years. That was when SAG and AFTRA had offices together out on Cherry Street.
I stay involved because we don't have a lot of people involved and I don't want to lose our brick and mortar presence in Denver. I also want to give back to SAG what so many people have given to me throughout the years.
Tell us about your work on the SAG national committees. Why have you chosen to make that commitment?
DS: Anything that's going on nationally affects all of us in the Branches. I'm currently on four national committees. I'm on the National Agent Relations Committee (NARC), which is chaired by SAG President Alan Rosenberg. We're doing some really critical ongoing work to rebuild Screen Actors Guild's relationship with talent agents.
I also serve on the Guild Government Review Committee (GGRC), which is chaired by Colorado's National Board Member David Hartley-Margolin. We operate at the discretion of the National Board and make recommendations regarding SAG constitutional issues.
The Senior Performers Committee has been established to protect senior actors, but we haven't actually met yet.
The National Stunt and Safety Committee deals primarily with safety issues for every actor and other concerns dealing specifically with stunt performers. I'm on this committee because while I'm not a stunt performer, I've been involved with safety all my life. We work to assure the protection of all performers. For example, we occasionally deal with situations where production might try to get an actor to perform an action which should be accomplished by a stunt performer.
When all is said and done, on any committee, the basic purpose is to get feedback from members and resolve issues.
I want to point out that I'm not on these committees because I'm a council member. On most national committees, any active, paid-up member in good standing can serve as a committee member or alternate. Recommendations for national committee appointments are submitted to the Regional Branch Division Board for consideration and approval by the RBD co-chair of each committee. If you're interested in serving on the local council or on a national committee, you should contact our branch executive Julie Crane at (720) 932-8193 or
. We need solidarity as a union.
I would encourage members to stay informed and get involved. I love acting. Working with actors, whether it be on the set or on a national committee, is a way for me to stay connected. Every one of these interactions is a learning experience.
Anything else you want to share with your fellow Colorado SAG members?
Get on
. It's making tremendous inroads for people who want to work. It gives an actor on opportunity to get a headshot and resume in front of a casting director through the Internet.
iActor PUTS STATION 12 CAST CLEARANCE AND EXCLUSIVE SAG TALENT POOL RIGHT AT THE INDUSTRY'S FINGERTIPS
On March 4, Screen Actors Guild launched iActor, the only union-hosted online casting directory featuring onsite Station 12 cast clearance and showcasing exclusively SAG members.
Simple, functional, convenient and free, iActor -- Screen Actors Guild's revolutionary online casting directory— is an essential career and production tool.
iActor puts SAG members at the fingertips of casting professionals, and is the only online casting directory that exclusively features SAG members and automated Station 12 cast clearance.
Available to all casting directors working on signatory productions, iActor allows casting professionals to search through members' headshots, resumes and media by any combination of terms, such as gender, ethnicity, special skills or credits.
By creating their resumes and adding their headshots, SAG members will be at the fingertips of the industry's top casting professionals. Members can even use the service to email resumes to casting directors directly, any time of the day or night.
What Casting Directors Want You to Know
Casting directors are on iActor daily, digitally sourcing and then clearing talented Screen Actors Guild members for work in SAG-signatory productions. Many members aren't listing a contact number on resumes, so they can't be reached for auditions. Please make sure to list your current contact information (either a service number or your representative's), so you won't miss that important work call.
We've also noticed that many resumes aren't "viewable," so as far as the casting community is concerned, you aren't seen. It's extremely important to complete the final step in completing your iActor resume. You have to mark it "viewable." As always, if you have questions, SAG's WebHelp team is ready to assist you at (323) 549-6789 or (800) 724-0767, or via e-mail at

Writers of new Dolly Varden album have come a long way
By THOMAS CONNER firstname.lastname@example.com January 16, 2013 6:00PM

Updated: February 19, 2013 2:17PM
'For a While," the new album from Chicago's venerable Dolly Varden (out Jan. 22) sounds like a band of musicians utterly comfortable in their own skins. The songwriting of Steve Dawson and wife Diane Christiansen is built on carefree melodies and sweet-but-never-cloying harmonies, making its creation seem deceptively easy. The thoughtful, reminiscent verses transmit a modest wisdom. The woody, moseying arrangements show off occasional experimental flourishes — the kind a grown-up musician tries out, not the brash theatricality of a grand-standing whipper-snapper.
It's an adult album for the adult at heart.
Dawson, 47, teaches songwriting and guitar at the Old Town School of Folk Music.
"My songwriting class has a bunch of older dudes," he says one afternoon in a Wicker Park diner. "We were talking about that certain freedom you find once you hit 40. The pressure's suddenly off. You don't give as much of a sh--. We were all saying we wish we had this attitude at 22. Instead of worrying all the time about what people think about what you do, we could've done anything."
Dolly Varden hasn't done anything and everything, but they have done great things. Could they have done more? Sure. Courted by major labels after their 1995 debut ("Mouthful of Lies"), the band was positioned to ride Chicago's wave of breakout stars in the mid-'90s. It didn't happen.
Funny story, that.
"It's kind of complicated. 'Mouthful of Lies' was sniffed by all the majors," Dawson says, almost sheepishly. "You know, this was '94, '95, the years of Liz Phair and the Smashing Pumpkins. Chicago was intense. There was pressure on to be the next band signed out of Chicago. We completely failed at doing that. …
"We did a showcase at South by Southwest and had a room full of every label [representative]. It was ridiculous. That led us to a showcase in New York for RCA. It was a complete disaster. They flew us out at the last minute, put each of us up in a room at the Four Seasons. Record labels are crazy. The money they spent — we could have recorded a whole album with that money. They put us in this crappy club. We rented a drum kit that had no cymbals. It wasn't our best. We had to go to dinner after with the entire RCA staff. I at least told the president that he should release all [of RCA's] Sam Cooke records."
"For a While" looks back a fair amount. "Del Mar, 1976" is rich with memory and sensory detail. "Saskatchewan to Chicago" explores a family tree back three generations. In the title track, Christiansen casts her mind back to 1965 before hoping for the future: "It's happening too fast / but with any luck it'll last for a while."
Depending on how you look at it, 2013 could be Dolly Varden's 20th anniversary. Dawson thinks that's jumping the gun a little.
The first band he and Christiansen were in together, Stump the Host, folded in 1993, though the couple continued working together in what would basically be Dolly Varden.
He refers to 1994 as a "lost year." Fishing for identity in the wake of the scene's overkilled urges and exiles in Guyville, the couple realized they should stick to what they do best: writing simple narrative songs with harmony singing.
"It's part of that wisdom of age thing, I guess," Dawson says. "I'm still learning to go with my strengths as a songwriter. There are things I do well and things I don't. I'm not good with cynicism. I always admire Elvis Costello, all the wordplay and bite, but when I try that it sounds so forced. I don't do clever songs. That thing Robbie Fulks does so well, I don't do that. And that's fine."
What Dolly Varden does is in the realm of whatever we call modern American music now — alt-country, roots, Americana, what have you. Part of that '93 to '95 soul-searching, though, included genre crisis, as well.
In a 2002 interview with the Sun-Times, Dawson recalled, "At first, we were so confused musically that we didn't know what we were doing. We felt like we wanted to try anything but roots rock."
"That attitude made us refuse to court [Chicago rootsy label] Bloodshot," Dawson says now. "We were like, no, we don't want to be that. We could have been put on the same trajectory, I guess, as Whiskeytown or the Jayhawks. Or Wilco." He pauses. "It seems weird to think Wilco was ever alt-country."
Dawson grew up in Idaho, where as a teenager he resisted everything resembling country music: "In the '80s the only thing on [country] radio was Mickey Gilley and Juice Newton."
Dolly Varden (named for the trout, not the Nevada mountain range or the Chicago-area railway, though all the names spring from the Dickens character) is completed by pros — guitarist Mark Balletto, bassist Mike Bradburn and drummer Matt Thobe — who support the good thing going between Dawson and his romantic and musical soulmate.
Dawson describes the band's chemistry as "feeling really good, really natural," adding that the songs for "For a While" seemed to emerge from a common source among them, with themes of mortality, retrospection and gratitude.
Thus the "Thank You" closer — a song that, like the band itself, began as a bit of an upstart and turned into something more genteel and lovely.
"The initial writing of that song came during a tour of England for the first time," Dawson says. "It was a really difficult tour. Lots of things were going wrong. Anytime you ask anyone in England anything, no matter what their response is they end it with, 'Thank you!' Or ,'Cheers!' Our van got robbed, and the police came. They said, 'Well, there's really nothing we can do. Thank you!' It became this snarky thing, and the song sat around a while. Eventually it became more sincere, as a way to end shows and say thank you to fans. That's another thing about getting older. I definitely have become sort of more willing to be grateful and show gratitude for things rather than expect things. That's another thing that happens as you get older, I think. You sort of realize that your time is limited and you might as well enjoy and be thankful for the things that are happening. So I wrote a new third verse to the 'Thank You' song that was more about that. A nice parting way."

President Barack Obama was overheard at a press conference in Seoul confiding to Russia's president that he would have to await his re-election before addressing the issue of global missile defense. WSJ's Richard Boudreaux discusses the fallout. Photo: AP
SEOUL—President Barack Obama was overheard confiding to Russia's president that he would have to await his re-election before addressing the divisive issue of global missile defense, an unscripted moment that touched off a political backlash at home.
Mr. Obama told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he can't resolve the issue before the November election, but that afterward, he would have more "flexibility." The comments were picked up by a live microphone.
Republicans seized on the exchange to suggest that Mr. Obama may talk tough during the campaign but then cave to Moscow once re-elected. They also questioned what else Mr. Obama has in store for a second term that he doesn't want to disclose now.
Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said the words were those of "a real Etch A Sketch leader," comparing them to a political adviser's ill-fated comment last week that the campaign of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney would alter its positions for the general election, "like an Etch A Sketch."
Mr. Obama's comments marked a rare instance of a world leader saying aloud something that, while perhaps true, isn't typically spoken in public.
The moment came at the end of a meeting held Monday on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit and showed how the U.S. president is working to manage foreign policy challenges as he heads into his political campaign.
Aug. 11, 1984: President Ronald Reagan (shown above at a Republican convention two weeks later), testing a microphone before a radio address: "My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes. Agence France Presse/Getty Images
November 2011: Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Mr. Obama (shown above that month), are heard through their mics by reporters talking about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Mr. Sarkozy: 'I can't stand him anymore, he is a liar.' Mr. Obama: 'You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day.' European Pressphoto Agency
April 28, 2010: After a discussion with Gillian Duffy, a 65-year-old widow who voiced her opposition to immigration (above left), Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown describes her to an aide as a 'bigoted woman.' A microphone on the prime minister's lapel picks up the comment. Getty Images
June 2006: At a G-8 lunch, mics still on, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (above, at the summit). Mr. Lavrov, focusing on the killings of Russian diplomats in Iraq: 'I don't believe security is fine in Iraq.' Ms. Rice: 'There is a need for improvement of security in Iraq, period.' Agence France-Presse / Getty Images
The remarks suggest Mr. Obama aims to keep Russia and its tensions at bay, at least for the next eight months, and avoid giving Republicans an opening to argue that he is soft on Moscow.
As reporters arrived to hear the leaders' remarks, the pair leaned in to speak to one another, not realizing microphones were picking up their words.
Mr. Obama is heard telling his counterpart that he needs time to resolve issues including U.S. plans for a missile defense system in Europe.
"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility," Mr. Obama, in an implicit bit of confidence that he will win a second term.
Mr. Medvedev, who is about to turn the Russian presidency over to Vladimir Putin, replied: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir and I stand with you."
The White House confirmed that the exchange came after a discussion about the missile-defense shield. Officials said that the issue, which has strained U.S.-Russia relations and so could affect other U.S. foreign-policy priorities such as Iran and Syria—in which Russian support is needed—won't be resolved before the U.S. vote in November.
Mr. Obama tried to make light of the incident Tuesday as he attended a fresh round of meetings at the nuclear security summit.
"First of all, are the mikes on?" Mr. Obama joked to reporters when asked to clarify his remark as he sat down to meet with Mr. Medvedev and the president of Kazakhstan.
The president defended his comments to Mr. Medvedev, saying "arms control is extraordinarily complex" and requires deep consultation between two countries. "I don't think it's any surprise that you can't start that a few months before presidential and congressional elections in the United States, and at a time when they just completed elections in Russia," he said. "This is not a matter of hiding the ball."
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes initially commented on the exchange Monday, saying "Since 2012 is an election year in both countries…it is clearly not a year in which we are going to achieve a breakthrough."
Early in his administration, Mr. Obama overhauled U.S. missile defense policies, focusing on near-term threats and seeking to protect European allies and U.S. troops deployed overseas, in contrast to the Bush administration's effort to defend U.S. territory.
The Obama administration has sought to reset U.S. relations with Russia, but disagreement over missile defense has threatened the thaw. Mr. Putin ran for election with an anti-American campaign, and Mr. Medvedev said last week he wants an assurance that a planned U.S.-led missile defense shield in Europe isn't directed at Russia's arsenal.
Republicans said the president's comments revealed his true intentions. "President Obama signaled that he's going to cave to Russia on missile defense," Mr. Romney said. He expressed concern about the effort to reset relations with Russia, noting Moscow backed Syria at the U.N. "This is a president who was telling us one thing and doing something else, and is planning on doing something even more frightening," he said on CNN.
Rep. Mike Turner (R., Ohio), chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, wrote Mr. Obama to emphasize that Congress will block any attempt to weaken U.S. missile defenses. He requested an "urgent explanation of your comments to President Medvedev."
Mr. Obama's defenders said he appeared to be trying to smooth over a tense situation. "I suspect this is the sort of exchange that happens all the time between leaders of many different governments," said Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank. "That's the nature of diplomacy—the push and pull, the back and forth."

We began offering pace leaders for the KeyBank Vermont City Marathon in 2009. This year, pace leaders are available for the following times: 3:15, 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, and 5:30. We'll feature our pace team leaders here on the blog every Wednesday and Friday through March.
If you're interested in running with a pace leader or just want to know more about the program, please be sure to read this post. While registration is not required, we would love to get a sense of how many people plan to run with each SkiRack Pace Leader. Please contact our SkiRack Pace Team coordinator, Jack Pilla, at firstname.lastname@example.com indicating which pace group you plan to run with. No worries if you change your mind between now and race day and decide to run another pace or opt out of the Pace Team.
Vic & Debbie Tirrito:: introductory post:: email
Less than two months from now we will be running our way to completing the 25th Vermont City Marathon. This will be a special day for me as it will mean I will be completing 25 out of 25 Vermont City Marathons since 1989. Although we plan to run a steady pace getting us through the finish line in 5 hours 29 minutes and 59 seconds, it will not be an easy feat. My wife and ultra-running partner Debbie and I plan to run like course sweepers and we will follow a steady 12:35 per mile pace. This may require varying our ups and taking advantage of downs in addition to walking through all the water stops. By the way, as pacers go we are the last so therefore SWEEPER is indeed a role we can relate too.
When running the Gore-Tex Transalpine 8 day stage run, from Germany through Austria to Italy in 2010, Debbie and I would keep the course sweepers in our rear view mirror. Talk about pressure, WOW! Our plan is to return to the Alps this year in August.
Some folks may decide to run / walk run along knowing when they see us they can be assured we are on that 5:30 marathon finish time. Those falling off aggressive early pace targets will also know, if they can muster up enough second wind, can mentally hitch on with us. Plan to carry additional energy supplements as it will be a long day. Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com as I plan to run the last 10 miles the Sunday prior to the event starting in Battery Park at 8am. Best regards to all and looking forward to seeing all the runners at the VCM Runners Expo.

We work hard to make sure our shop is a comfortable place for folks new to cycling to learn more, and for experienced riders to get the latest parts and expert service.

A truly brilliant mechanic and rider, there are few things on a bike that Brent can't fix or do. With over 10 years experience in the industry, Brent's skills are a major asset at BBW, and a big reason why people keep coming back for world class service.
Chris has been living car free for almost 20 years and is extremely knowledgeable about how to make cycling a fun, easy and safe part of your life. He recognized his talent for working on bikes through helping friends build bikes in his basement. Through his work at BBW, Chris hopes to help build the cycling community here in Baltimore and see others find the simple joys of riding a bike.
Falkor is our very own personal 'luck dragon'. From the moment he wandered into our doors, he has forever changed BBW for the better. Falkor is quite possibly the most well liked and sought after member of our staff and certainly gets the most attention on our Instagram. He loves snoozing all day, kitty treats and greeting everyone who stops in.
Meredith reluctantly took up cycling to appease her then college beau. Now 10 years later it's safe to say she has found true love twice, with her now husband and with her Jamis Dakar XCT 650. Meredith is one of the founding members here at BBW and brings with her years of experience wrenching on bikes, helping customers find their dream bike, performing professional fit services and much more.
Christina has a passion for bikes that is unmatched. She has recently transitioned from fixed gear freestyle to BMX and can be found most days shredding the streets perfecting her latest trick. Christina breathes energy into the shop and is motivated to help others find the passion she has for riding. Come in and talk to her about BMX or anything else bike related.
Another Michigander, Scott relocated to Baltimore to be a part of our shop and the growing cycling community here. Scott brings with him extensive product knowledge and a drive to stay on top of all the latest cycling trends. When he's not at the shop, look for him racing in pink for Team BBC. Come in and talk to Scott about your next custom wheel build or simply catch up on the latest industry news - his laid back attitude and charming personality will make you glad you did.
A bicycle mechanic since the age of 15, a graduate of the United Bicycle Institute, he's worked on just about every kind of bike there is. His passion for wrenching and changing the bicycle industry is what makes him a driving force behind BBW.
Alex joined BBW in the Spring of 2011 after moving here from Lansing, Michigan, and we can barely remember life before him. His enthusiasm for bikes, mechanical knowledge and customer service skills are an incredible asset. Alex is happiest riding his Jamis Dragon 650b hardtail mountain bike through Patapsco State Park, join him anytime, he is always down to ride and make new friends.

Quick Spin: 2011 Dodge Avenger
An Old Dog Learns A Few New Tricks Chrysler has chosen vastly different fates for its Sebring and the Dodge Avenger, despite the two essentially being identical vehicles. While the Sebring underwent a complete personality makeover for 2011 and emerged with new sheetmetal and a new nameplate to match, the Avenger was left to soldier on with more conservative tweaks. The Dodge version of Chrysler's midsize sedan still wears the same basic body lines as before, masking over the significant adjustments to the vehicle's interior, drivetrain and suspension.

Taxman clamps down on residents of Spain with overseas assets

• Taxman closes net on tax evader in Spain
Do you have news for us?
Click to contact the newsdesk!
By Eloise Horsfield
OVERSEAS assets worth over €50,000 must be declared by all residents in Spain by March 2013, a new decree has stated.
Funds in overseas bank accounts, stocks, real estate, bond market portfolios and insurance policies will need to be declared to the tax authorities (Hacienda) by the end of the first quarter.
What's more, anyone declaring overseas assets will need to be able to prove they were acquired with declared money and that all taxes were paid on the capital before it left Spain.
The crackdown will affect thousands of expats who have residency in Spain and who are still in possession of assets back home.
Richard Alexander from LJ Financial Planning said: "This is part of legislation aimed at rounding everybody up so that all residents are aware of their obligation to declare any income-yielding assets.
"They are throwing out a net in order to gather information about investments overseas to ensure everything is being declared.
"Lots of people are currently sitting under the radar, and this is all part of the increased vigilance of the tax authorities, and the information sharing which will allow them to look at every angle where there might be tax to collect."
The Spanish government is now in the process of creating the forms taxpayers will use to submit their declarations, with non-submission punishable by law.

Ok, so we've been warned. I say, so what? How's the Spanish Government going to pay for the resources to implement it. If they do, the ultra rich will pay for avoidance advice. The rest of us won't yield enough tax revenue to pay for doing it in the first place. Help me out here. What's the point in it? It must be politics, right?
December 3rd, 2012 8:25 pm
heard this was a scam by some muppet
February 20th, 2013 5:26 pm
Any tax obtained (doubt there will be much anyway) will be [more than ]offset by the sheer effort of trying to enforce it.
Any sizeable bond assets that have been properly and appropriately advised and set up will have 5% tax-free income anyway. These are compliant products in UK, EU and spanish law.
These laws (joke) would be unenforceable to offshore institutions anyway.
You cannot tax a nation into prosperity. Will only cause massive civil unrest.
The bankers and politicians who created the mess in the first place should be the ones being punished. They will all, no doubt, be sitting on nice salaries, bonuses and pensions that are the envy of everyone else.
March 30th, 2013 2:46 pm
It certainly does make you smile.
Spain a bankrupt country where bribery and corruption is second nature is expecting us mere mortals to stand up, be honest, and declare all our worldwide assets in the hope they may just be able to drag a few euros from us to help fund their continuing spending spree. Well well!!
March 30th, 2013 5:28 pm
This new law is paving the way to a new wealth tax and/or a new tax on savings. Get a nice fat mattress and do as the Spanish do.

So far, in the first 10 days, I've posted almost 30 items of lovely free content for you to peruse if you choose. http://www.patreon.com/BeThisBell?ty=c Patreon is a cool arts patron site where for as little as $1/month (you set your limit) you can pledge support for your favorite artists! And you can check out all the free content I've already posted without having to sign up or pledge.
(And if you do decide to pledge, I promise I won't post more than one or two pieces of paid content per month).
The past weekend I had the opportunity to play lead guitar with my friend Sarah Torres at Humboldt Pride! It's pretty fun to play on a stage where you can see the ocean to all your fun-loving friends! Here's the audio from our performance that day: https://soundcloud.com/bethisbell/humboldt-pride Check it out, I really like Sarah's indie folk pop singer-songwriter style songs, I think you might too!
After Pride, we drove up in the mountains to play a show at Mad River Brewery in Blue Lake, CA. And this beautiful thing happened: Bleed ... http://songwriter.amplifiertv.com/channel/BeTh+isBell ... To "bleed," n., meaning to pour your soul out ... it's now entered in the Guitar Center national singer-songwriter contest. It would mean a lot to me if you could go there & vote for it, if you dig it! Thanks!
And early Saturday morning before Pride, my new radio show The Flower Power Hour debuted on KMUD. It's a fun good vibe program showcasing psychedelic music from the current indie rock scene all the way back to Haight-Ashbury, complete with beat poetry, great music, and lots of laughs. It airs every Saturday morning from 4am-5am (PST)! So if you're on the East Coast or in the Midwest, make it your morning show if you wake up that early on Saturdays, or if you're still awake from your Friday night! Also, if you're in London it's on at Noon on Saturdays, or 1pm if you're in other parts of Europe. And it's on Friday nights if you're in Australia, New Zealand or Japan/Asia. You can listen live to the show broadcast from anywhere in the world on-line at http://www.kmud.org or listen anytime at your leisure in the show archives at the station's website. And for those of you who missed the first episode, here it is: https://soundcloud.com/theflowerpowerhour/the-flower-power-hour-ep1
OK, that's a lot to digest, so I'll save the bit about my new poetry & children's books for the next newsletter. There really is a lot of cool artistic stuff - poems, songs, videos, radio shows, etc. posted at the Patreon site for my 30 Day Challenge, I really hope you'll check it out. I'm sure you'll find something you love. And, I hate asking for votes, but the song I posted in the guitar center contest is really sweet, so if you can help a girl out, much love & many thanks! I'm trying pretty hard these days to create art that I love, and hopefully, that you will love too! That's my goal, to keep you happy with cool new art! So thanks very much for your support. It really does mean a lot to me. Thanks!

Arab Spring or Christian Winter?
Some Middle Eastern Christians unsure about Arab Spring.
January 10, 2012

Governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen have been toppled, and at press time, the regime in Syria is barely clinging to control. It is all part of what has become known as the "Arab Spring."

text: Home - Spotlight On: Kaitlin BechererProgram: Associate in ScienceKaitlin Becherer knows the true meaning of giving both on and off the soccer field. The 20-year-old midfielder from Granite City had a successful high school athletics career that has included soccer, track, basketball, swimming and volleyball, and has continued her success into college. This fall, she helped the Trailblazers women's soccer team win the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 24 championship game. Becherer also has made the dean's list each semester at Lewis and Clark for the last two years. Yet, with all of her academic and athletic accomplishments, she said it was a mission trip to Haiti in January that has been one of the most inspiring moments in her life so far. Becherer and her church group worked with children at orphanages and schools and helped feed 1,000 children. Along they way, she shared a bit of her Trailblazers spirit by giving some of the children Lewis and Clark soccer jerseys. "This trip was life changing for me. I saw things I could never imagine and realize I am thankful for the life God has given me," Becherer said. "Mostly I learned there is no greater gift than to give to others. The children stole my heart. They appreciate everything and were very loving." After earning her associate degree at L&C, Becherer plans to attend Fontbonne University in the fall where she hopes to play soccer while working on a bachelor's degree, with the goal of becoming a dietician.

Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type – though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers – that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.

Bears have no clue how to start fixing offense
BY RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com September 25, 2011 10:20PM
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler reacts to an incomplete pass in the second half of the Chicago Bears 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers Sunday September 25, 2011 at Soldier Field in Chicago. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Related Stories
Updated: November 11, 2011 2:03PM
It depends on the day and his mood, but most of the time, Jay Cutler doesn't venture far afield in his musings with the media.
But Sunday, after the second straight game in which the Bears looked hopelessly lost on offense, he was blunt. Frustration and no running game will do that to you.
Someone suggested to Cutler that surgically removing all the things in the Bears' game plan that aren't working and adding more of the good things (whatever those are) might help.
''It's so hit and miss in what we're doing well and what we're not doing well that I don't even know where to begin,'' he said.
Three games into the season, that's the scary part if you're a Bear or have an emotional investment in the team. Where do you begin with the problems on offense? The Bears rushed for 13 yards on 12 carries Sunday, their lowest rushing total in more than 50 years. It came a week after they ran the ball only 12 times, one a Cutler scramble.
Is it possible for an NFL team to win with an offense so imbalanced that it wobbles?
''We're 0-2 doing this, so it's not looking very good,'' Cutler said.
It's so bad that coach Lovie Smith would be happy if the Bears got off the bus racewalking.
Someone asked Cutler if the Bears had an identity on offense, and if he had been honest, he would have said: ''Yes, as a matter of fact, we do. We've been identified as not having one.''
''The first game we were clicking,'' he said. ''The last two games have been misfiring and here and there. Until we're more consistent, I guess we don't [have an identity].''
Packers weren't losing this one
The defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers beat the Bears 27-17 because they're the better team. You had the feeling that even if the Bears' offense came to life through some Vatican-recognized miracle, Green Bay would have found a way to win.
But bear in mind the Packers' defense had been shredded in the first two weeks of the season. Sunday was an opportunity for the Bears to forget about their embarrassing offensive performance in New Orleans. Instead, they dropped balls, overthrew passes and committed penalties in earnest. Cutler threw two interceptions and would have had another if not for offsetting penalties.
The Bears had three yards of total offense in the third quarter.
The strangest thing? The much-maligned offensive line did a solid job, thanks, in part, to the Packers' decision to drop eight players into coverage at times.
Matt Forte rushed nine times for two yards, which is almost as impossible as it sounds.
It doesn't matter whether you believe Forte is an elite back or not (I don't). The Bears can't win if offensive coordinator Mike Martz keeps ignoring him. Making Forte's involvement even more necessary is that he's the kind of back who might run the ball 20 times before he cracks off a long run.
''We've just got to find ways to get him the ball, get him rushes, get him touches, get him going because he's an explosive, explosive player,'' Cutler said. "I feel bad for him right now. He wants the ball. He wants to help out, and we're not giving him a lot of opportunities.''
So sloppy and so far to go
You watch the Packers' offense and how smooth Aaron Rodgers is, and it makes you realize how far behind the Bears' offense is in terms of talent and execution. But the Bears' offense wasn't going against Rodgers. It was going against a Green Bay defense that had given up a total of 851 passing yards in the first two games.
Tiny Dane Sanzenbacher, the rookie free agent from Ohio State, probably will turn into a cult hero in town, but the truth is that his presence on the field shows just how bad things have gotten on offense. Cutler threw to him seven times Sunday and to putative No. 1 receiver Roy Williams four times. Williams had no catches.
"Not a lot of time with Roy,'' Cutler said. "It doesn't happen overnight. Missing camp, injuries. He's still a little bit sore. Until we put some time in there and we get some practices and get some reps and make us comfortable, it's hard. You can ask any quarterback that.''
Smith spent last week saying the Bears would "clean it up" on offense, but they walked away sloppier than ever.
They are 1-2. They will get better. But it's going to take a long time to rid themselves of feelings of inadequacy.
''Until we put together a full game and we're consistent and we're balanced, it's going to be difficult for us to win, even though the defense is playing lights-out,'' Cutler said.
