City approved trash removal contract
- Details
- Parent Category: News
- Category: Steelville News
- Written by Amy England
- Hits: 662
Steelville city councilmen have agreed on a trash pick-up provider, but want more information on the fees the city tacks on to the bill customers receive. At the council meeting held February 4, two bids were received to provide garbage removal service for the next three years.
One was from I.E.S.I., of Bridgeton, Mo., and the other from Swinger Sanitation, of Cuba. Aldermen approved a four-year contract with Swinger. All homes that have utility service within the city limits are required to have trash service and are billed for it. Apartment complexes are different in that dumpsters are most often provided by the property owner.
The bid from I.E.S.I. was for $10.63 per home for the first year, $10.95 for the second, and $11.28 for the third. Swinger Sanitation offered a four-year contract with the following rates: $9.48 for the first year, $10.06 for the second and $10.68 for the third and fourth years. Swinger's proposal also included the provision of poly carts for each residence.
Elaine Turnbough, whose parents own Swinger, explained the poly carts were simply included in the price quoted and that also includes any kind of maintenance or replacement needed, except for washing them out. She also noted the 96-gallon poly carts would be a new service for Steelville and they would be uniform. Currently, those residents who use a trash container provided by Swinger are charged a fee, but that will change under the new agreement, and charges to customers for 2013 will be refunded.
Aldermen asked if there would be an additional charge if a residence had more trash than what would fit in the carts. "No, we never have (charged extra)," Turnbough replied. "As long as it's not a clean-up, we don't have a problem with it."
She noted that some households have more and some less and it essentially evens itself out. And she recognized that Steelville only had trash pick-up once a week and that garbage can pile up over that length of time, especially for a family.
The council questioned the city's liability for the poly carts, wondering if they would be responsible for damages or theft, but Turnbough assured them that was not the case. Mayor Terry Palmer also noted that the carts would probably help with the issue of animals getting into trash bags and scattering garbage about.
After aldermen approved the contract with Swinger, Turnbough explained that she would be placing the order for the poly carts, and during the time it takes for them to arrive, she would continue to bill the city at their previously contracted rate. She felt it would take about five weeks for the new receptacles to arrive and stated they would all be placed in the city within a couple of days time once they are available.
Council members next looked at a memo from the Comptroller Jennifer Basham with a proposed fee structure for the new contract. The city has always had an administration fee added to the cost for the service, but aldermen were unclear on the reasoning behind the comptroller's recommendations, and she was not present at the meeting to explain.
Pounds questioned what the current fees were. "I would like to know what kind of administrative fees we are getting now before I approve these. Are we increasing them?"
There was a consensus that there was an increase, but again, details were unclear on why and how.
Palmer pointed out that the council had already made a decision on the contractor and could postpone one on the fees until more information could be provided.
"Our concerns are just like anyone else," Hatcher said. "We do have a lot of people on a fixed income. I know it doesn't sound like a lot to a working person, but it can be to some."
Aldermen agreed to discuss the city fees further at the next council meeting, when more information could be provided by the comptroller. That meeting will be held on February 19 at 7 p.m.

Back in March he released his amazing autobiography, "Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story Of Pantera," and since then he has been in the studio getting the new Kill Devil Hill record ready for our ears. As we revealed last week, Kill Devil Hill will be releasing their new album, "Revolution Rise," on October 29th via Century Media Records, and Rex previously said that "it's definitely one of his favorite moments of his career," so you know it's going to kick ass! Along with the announcement on the new record, Rex also revealed that he has teamed up with Hartke to continue to bring his powerful signature sound for years to come! Last week he held his first ever bass clinic at Sam Ash and I was lucky enough to be in attendance! Rex performed several songs for the crowd, answered questions, and it was just awesome! Before the set I got to sit down with the legend to talk about his new Hartke deal, the upcoming Kill Devil Hill release, the response to his book and much more! Watch the interview, along with our video recap of the bass clinic below!

How to Look Older
Three Parts:Dressing OlderWearing the Hairstyle and MakeupCarrying Yourself Like an Older Person
Does everyone say you look younger than you really are? Are you frequently asked to show your ID to prove your age? For some people, this is a blessing. But for other people, it's a huge pain. To look older, try the following techniques.
Part 1 of 3: Dressing Older
1Choose more conservative styles. It's possible that your style is making you look a little on the younger side. If you naturally have a young-looking face, wearing clothes that fit you well and cover more of your body might be the key to looking a bit older. Try these suggestions:
- Wear blouses or dress shirts instead of t-shirts. People of all ages love wearing t-shirts, they tend to project a spirit of youth. Wear tailored tops with collars instead.
- Don't wear daisy dukes and miniskirts. These, too, can make you look like you're a few years younger. Wear shorts and skirts cut to a tasteful length - that's what older people tend to do.
- Avoid baseball caps and baggy jeans.
- Wear muted patterns instead of wild ones. You might have trouble parting with your dress covered in turquoise cats, but if you exchange it for one with a simple polka dot design, you'll be telling the world you have mature style.
- Wear jewel tones instead of pastels.
Ad -
2Wear nicer fabrics. Older people tend to wear fabrics that are sturdy and look like they cost a little money. Nice cottons and denims without a lot of stretch, cashmere sweaters, silk shifts, and linen dresses are all good choices for people who want to look like they've got some life experience. Put away the polyester, rayon and stretch pants.
3Go with timeless instead of trendy. Trends like midriff shirts, tight white jeans, graphic tees and other in-the-moment items can make you look younger than you are. Go with classic styles that never go out of fashion instead.
- If you're a woman, try the classic little black dress, tasteful heels, versatile blazer and pencil skirt, or some nice trousers and button-down blouses with a polished pair of oxfords.
- Guys can't go wrong with well-fitting pants, polo or button down shirts, sport coats, and leather shoes.
4Change where you shop. Consider where you've been getting your clothes, and start shopping in a store geared toward people a few years older than you. If you're a teenager and you normally shop in the juniors' section of the department store, go to the adults' section next time.
5Compare your style to that of older people you know. How do your older cousins dress, or your favorite characters on TV? Seek out people who look mature and stylish, and pay attention to what they're wearing. Note the colors and patterns they wear, the fit of their clothes, the type of shoes they have on- the whole package. Start looking for similar items to create your own grown-up wardrobe.
Part 2 of 3: Wearing the Hairstyle and Makeup
1Get a mature haircut. Some haircuts can make people's faces look a lot younger, while others give the impression of success and power. Here are a few things to keep in mind next time you go to the salon or barber shop:
- Stay away from little girl bangs. Straight bangs that are cut above the eyebrows are cute, but they make people look young. Sweep yours across instead for a sophisticated look.
- Don't go for the shaggy look. This gives the impression that you are unkempt, whether you're a guy or a girl. Keep your hair trimmed and neat.
- Try a bob or a fade. These are both haircuts you might see on people who go into politics or medicine. Choose a haircut that makes you look assertive and powerful, in spite of your years.
- Guys should experiment with facial hair. Men who can grow it in thickly look older with some facial hair, but if yours is wispy, stay clean-shaven.
2Style your hair every day. This simple step can go a long way toward making you look more sophisticated. Take the time to comb your hair and either put it up in a chignon, apply gel to define your curls, or straighten it.
- Skip bows and barrettes - they look childish.
- Don't wear pigtails or braids; they're pretty, but young.
3Wear tasteful makeup. Many people think wearing a lot of makeup will make them look older, but it can actually have the opposite effect if you use too much. Go for a classic application of foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, and blush, with a lip that's just a few shades darker than your natural color. [1]
- Stay away from blue eye shadow or other funky colors - they'll make you look like a little kid playing with makeup.
- No glitter or shimmer; wear matte products instead.
Part 3 of 3: Carrying Yourself Like an Older Person
1Exude confidence. Nothing communicates maturity like confidence. Even if your physical appearance, unique personality, or social skills aren't what you wish they were, that doesn't have to stop you from building self confidence.
2Improve your posture. Slouching won't convey the maturity you desire. Hold your head up high and straighten your back. Use body language to communicate maturity.
3Develop social graces. Display good manners, don't talk too loudly, be considerate, talk more about other people than yourself, and know when to let silence do the talking.
- Listen closely to what others say. Few things demonstrate maturity as well as a being a good listener. Be a good conversationalist who is interested in what people are saying; try to add occasional comments if you think they make sense.
- Improve your vocabulary. Read a lot to learn some new words and try to include them in your everyday language. Use good grammar (not slang) and don't cuss.
4Act mature. If you are all over the place, and hyper and peppy all of the time, you will seem childish no matter what you're wearing.
- Choose a mature role model to emulate. Pick an actor, musician, or other public figure who is your age or a few years older that projects a sophisticated image. The way he or she dresses, speaks, walks, and acts can help you understand how a mature person acts.
We could really use your help!
Cookie Clicker?
mobile phones?
sugar rockets?
- Don't become consumed with acting and looking older. Enjoy your youth while you have it.
- Take on some responsibilities. Offer to babysit your cousins or walk a neighbor's dog.
- Let people know where you stand on political issues and talk to older kids in public to get people to think that you can handle being friends with older kids.

I sat down to record a short video to walk us through the steps of The PURSE-onality Challenge "A Holiday-Ready Heart".
Almost 20 minutes later I realized that I failed to make a "short" video!
So, I edited it down to 8 bite-sized segments. Here they are, along with the main points as bullets:
Part 1: Integrated vs. Complicated? + Blog Comments
- I love pulling several concepts together and integrating them.
- Others might find this too complicated; do what works for you!
- I've scheduled time to respond to blog comments and e-mails (which I failed to do in May).
Part 2: John 15:9-17 and "A Holiday-Ready Heart"
- In order to be "A woman whose love protects" I must remain in Christ's love
- Remaining in His love results in joy
- "A Holiday-Ready Heart" is one that loves others
Part 3: Using the Bracelet
- Move the bracelet when ever my thinking needs to shift
- Change wrists for: Complaining, Criticizing, Gossipping, and using Sarcasm...any "baditude" that keeps me from being "a woman whose love protects"
- Switch from an "if it bleeds it leads" headline to a thanks-giving headline
- The bracelet may be ordered along with the "gift cards"
Part 4: Using the 31 Bible Verse Cards
- Keep the verse of the day nearby -- ready when I need it!
- Interrupt "baditude" with God's word.
- Replace "baditude" with God's word.
- Pausing to focus on God's word makes a huge difference!
Part 5: "Let's Get PURSE-onal!"
- This is my message on the four "PURSE-onality" types.
- You'll understand your basic PURSE-onality needs and the needs of those you love and work with.
- You'll understand how to better get your own needs met.
- You'll understand how to adjust your expectations and approaches to others.
- You'll learn to focus on others' strengths.
- Journal invites me to Pause, Pray, Perceive, and Praise
- Journal reminds me to focus on the strengths of others when "baditude" tempts me to focus only on their weaknesses
- Journal gives me a place to physically write my prayers, remind myself to seek strengths, and list gratitude
- "Gift card" is a quick reminder of the strengths of each PURSE-onality
Part 7: Walking Thru a Real-Life Example
- Step 1: I become annoyed at Daniel.
- Step 2: I switch the bracelet.
- Step 3: I interrupt my "baditude" with a Bible verse card and replace it with God's word.
- Step 4: I redirect my thoughts toward appreciating Daniel's strengths via the "gift card."
- Step 5: I reinforce my gratitude by writing in my journal--I pray for Daniel, I set myself up to seek his strengths, and I put my appreciation of him into words.
- Changing my mind changes my feelings!
Part 8: Deciding What Works for You
- Does doing everything together sound wonderfully integrated? Great! Try it and enjoy it!
- Does doing everything together sound overwhelming? Then only do what you feel led to do!
- Maybe it's just wearing the bracelet to increase your awareness of "baditude"
- Maybe it's making your own set of Bible verse cards to get God's word into your mind and heart.
- Maybe it's listening to "Let's Get PURSE-onal!" and applying that information to your relationships.
- Maybe it's writing in the journal to focus on Pausing, Praying, Perceiving, and Praising.
- Maybe it's using the "gift card" and watching for the strengths of the people you interact with.
- I can't control what will happen in November and December.
- I can be intentional about pray-paring my heart now.
- I will be a woman whose love protects when I am abiding in His love.
- I will celebrate Jesus' birth with joy when I am abiding in His love!
Your Turn
- Any questions?
- Any suggestions?
- Anything else on your heart!

Hollywood action heroes are usually pretty good at dismantling bombs. But they'd have no idea where to start with home electrical wiring, which seems kind of ironic.
Forget about Jack Bauer or James Bond and grab two hours for $70 or four hours for $135 of electrician's labour from Craig Scoullar Electrical.
You will probably never see Craig and his team on the big screen. They are far too busy and hard at work, doing everything from replacing a simple plug to installing the electrical system for entire buildings, around Dunedin City and Mosgiel.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months.

Who are "they"? Good question. Grey Aliens? Beings from the Sirius star system? Harvey the white rabbit? Fuck if I know. They appear to refract differently through the nervous system of everyone who comes into contact with them. I actually started referring to them as hynagogic light entities after they started showing up in my peripheral sleep states. The whole scene started crackling right after I began performing magick. I summoned them and they came, rebuilding the structure of my soul on a near nightly basis—which often felt like computer updates being rapidly downloaded into my psyche. Seriously, that's how it went down from my perspective, I started doing magick and they started installing the sorcerer software pack into the very fiber of my being.
This went on for months before they finally finished. They showed me what they'd been working on and of course I didn't understand it even remotely, but they seemed quite proud of themselves.… Read the rest

In the weeks since the horrific collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory — and subsequent deaths of more than a thousand factory workers — we've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a conscientious consumer. As Americans, we're privy to more and cheaper goods than ever before — and as globalization spreads and the means of production move further and further away, we're less and less connected to what we buy.
It's pretty clear that something's got to give.
Enter Elizabeth Cline. In her new book, Overdressed (not out until the end of August already out, with the hardcover to be released in August), she delves into the rise of cheap, fast fashion, and — by traveling to China and Bangladesh — documents first-hand how our desire for more and newer clothing is impacting the environment, the culture and workers' lives.
As style editors and fashion lovers, both Winona and I have grappled with wanting to give you, our readers, affordable, accessible options, while also honoring our desire to support fair worker practices and ethical businesses. In the coming weeks and months, we hope to bring you a lot more coverage on conscious, sustainable fashion, alongside some of our affordable shopping guides. There is no such thing as a "perfect" consumer, but we believe in giving you as much information as possible so you can make the decision that's right for you.
After the jump, I talk to Elizabeth Cline about how we can be better educated and more conscious clothing consumers.

Also, I agree that getting around in organize can get a bit hairy after you start putting in a lot of cards. There are lots of performance concerns we have to balance out to search across so many cards. To make that possible we've been working to tweak things to make searches perform better. Hopefully as we roll out new improvements we can open up some more searching options to you.

Golden Eagle
It's easy to spot the difference between golden eagles and bald eagles; bald eagles have a white head, while golden eagles are a homogenous color. Golden eagles are more prevalent than bald eagles, living all across Montana in mountains, prairie canyons and other rugged terrain that provides good updrafts for flight.
Golden Eagle
Aquila chrysaetos
The giant wingspan of golden eagles (typically about seven feet) gives them ultimate control in flight, and they can easily navigate with even the slightest movement of their wingtip feathers.
Golden eagles usually begin mating at age four, and often keep the same mate for life (typically 15 to 20 years). They nest on rocky crags or trees, and mated pairs may return to the same nest year after year. Golden eagles usually raise one or two young each year; like the adults, the young eat fish, mice, rabbits, hares and various rodents. Golden eagles have escaped heavy DDT contamination because (unlike bald eagles) they don't rely on fish as their primary food source.

Hi There,
Am interested in purchasing the SASS Walking Belt, but not sure which size to buy. If the measurement is waist size, then I am a 30″ waist, but as I would wear the belt over fleece and waterproof, not sure the 32″ would fit, depends on how generous your belt is. Please advise.
Also, please advise what leads you would recommend for use with the belt.
#10 by Kirsty McCarroll on October 24, 2011 - 8:55 pm
Just a wee note to say received double lead and lines ASAP and am very please with the quality of everything received- as usual!!- wouldn't consider going elsewhere

Hi Ali,
Many thanks for the phone call; received the belt yesterday – used it with three dogs on one walk already, it's great. And thanks for putting the reflective strip on it; great for the dark mornings and nights.
#12 by Josh on October 28, 2011 - 7:00 pm
I have two 4 month old boys polarspeed and anadyr lines (sibes) how much leeway do your harnesses give after the main measurements (basically how long do you think with your experience will the harnesses last them til they need replacing due to growth)

Hi! I have just ordered a 2 dog lead line, neckline, shock absorber and caribiner-I selected the colour blue under the colour options. Please could you confirm that all the components will be the same shade of blue? Also I have noticed people talking about different shades of blue-do we get a choice as the drop down menu for colour only showed blue. Thanks

I cannot believe how quickly this was done and the product is fantastic – great quality, love the colour and the time in which I received this is just remarkable especially when you think this product is made to order. Thank you for a great service. You could show 90% of other companies out there a thing or two about providing great customer service!

We have used you for several years for ganglines, I ordered a staggered line a few weeks ago which has been used regularly and I have now just put in an order for a 4 dog-line to finally replace the one we puchased from you many years ago – they are of excellent quality and if looked after last for many yearsThank you and see you sometime in the future

Hi there, im looking to purchase a second walking belt from yourselves, when i purchased my 1st one i bought a second karibiner to go with it. Would it be possible to buy just the belt without the karibiner at a cheaper price? Thanks in advance
#48 by charlie brodin on June 27, 2012 - 10:40 am
do you have 8 metre extending leads? the ones on the market at the moment are not robust enough for my husky, the brake seems to go first.

Continuing Professional Education for CPAs (CPE) units
CPE for CPAs
Your Own Future, Your Own Pace, Your Own Time
Swamped with work? As a
Certified Public Accountant (CPA), you may not
have a CPE for CPA training institution near you? Unpredictable schedule? We have three words for you:
Do your CPE for CPAs online!
Yes, no one is taking any more excuses from CPAs who do not complete the required number of Continuing Professional Education for CPAs (CPE) units. With NASBA accredited CPA CPE, there's no more reason for a non-CPE compliant CPA to be on the loose.
And in the professional world, there are only a few things more dangerous than a CPA who does not take his CPE seriously. Imagine CPA John Doe affixing his signature on your tax return when he is not familiar with the new tax laws. The next thing you know, the
is running after you. A CPA who disregards his CPE is like a stray bullet – dangerous.
Earn Your CPA CPE Credits, One Click at a Time
The National Association of States Board of Accountancy (NASBA)
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
define internet-based CPE for CPAs programs as "a learning activity through a group program or a self-study program that is designed to permit a participant to learn the given subject matter over the Internet." A group program online CPE courses wherein you have access to an instructor or mentor while self-study CPA and CPE programs is wherein a participant earns his unit through independent learning methods under a contract with an online CPA CPE training provider.
Take note that in selecting online CPE courses, there's more to them that meets the eye. Beyond the visual aids and interactive presentations, these programs should meet the standards set by NASBA for them to be credited against your CPE CPA required units. These are General Standards, Standards for Program Development, Standards for Program Presentation, Standards for Program Measurement and Standards for Reporting. These CPA CPE benchmarks have been modified on January 2012 so make sure the courses you will be taking are compliant.
CPE for CPAs, as the NASBA puts it, is part of a lifelong learning process. Yes, you heard it right. As long as you are a licensed accountant, you are obliged to fulfill the required CPE units. Dedicated accountants won't mind as for sure, they realize the value of acquiring the best practices in the field and knowing the recent changes in legislation. Now, if the thought of taking CPE pains you, maybe it's time for you to recalculate, as any good accountant would do when preparing their books, and ask yourself:
how much do I really love this profession?
See if everything all adds up.
The Diverse World of CPE for CPAs Online Courses: Take Your Pick!
Depending on your niche or specialization, you can enroll in a broad spectrum of online CPE programs which falls under the 18 NASBA "Fields of Study." These are:
Administrative Practices
Behavioral Ethics
Business Law
Business Management and Organization
Computer Science
Management Advisory Services
Personal Development
Personnel/Human Resources Management
Social Environment
Specialized Knowledge
Under each field of study are several courses and there's a pre-determined number of hours set by NASBA that can be credited for each course. For example, a course bundle in Managerial Accounting was approved by NASBA to credit for 11.5 hours of your CPA CPE hours. Remember, you have to take at least 40 hours of CPE courses on an annual basis to meet the 120 hours required by most states for your license renewal every three years.
So, now the question is, should you focus on a few areas or should you spread yourself across all? The answer depends on the current status of your career. Are you already a known specialist in taxation and want to improve more? Then maybe you should focus on tax courses. Likewise, you may be an expert on a particular subject area and you want to add more specializations. At the end of the day, it depends on how you see yourself evolving as a CPA a couple of years down the road.
Free CPA CPE Credits, Anyone?
As an accountant, it is understandable that you want to gauge whether online programs are the right platforms for you to earn your CPE credits. So the answer is a conditional yes. Here's an explanation. You can sign up for a free course (we just need your name and email – see the red TRY for FREE button on the right), but it's already a pre-selected course for you. In short, you don't get to choose which topic your free course would be. Not to worry. It is guaranteed that the free CPE CPA course you will take is relevant no matter how young or seasoned you are in the field. The free course is also of general interest so it cuts across all CPA specializations and niches.
Don't be confused: this is not a trial or a partial course. It's a full length course on a subject area pre-approved by NASBA. Free CPE for CPA: can you think of a better offer? Surely, no matter how hard you crunch the numbers to calculate the risk of this free course, you'll get the same results over and over: zero risk! No money thrown away, no time wasted and a ton of knowledge and valuable information gained. Further, this will help you decide whether internet-based CPE programs are the right learning venue for you.
How Do I Purchase an Online CPE for CPAs Course?
After trying out the free course and earning your CPE credits without spending a single penny, you are now certain that CPE online courses work and you want to enroll for a course, or better yet, take multiple courses. Here's a step by step guide on how to purchase a CPE online course:
Browse through the NASBA fields of study and check out the courses and course bundles offered for each. You can find out additional information about a course or a course bundle by clicking on "Learn More"
Once you've decided on a course and you're amenable to the price (notice how low our sale prices are?), click on "Add to Cart"
You can "Continue Shopping" for other courses or proceed to "Check Out"
Fill out the necessary form and choose a payment method. The following are the accepted credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. PayPal can also be used
Wait for your free course to be emailed to you
If you've done any form of online shopping in Amazon, Ebay and other e-commerce sites, it's the same process. Rest assured that date protection and security mechanisms are in place so your billing and payment details are safe.
The CPA and CPE in the Internet Era: How Do CPE Online Courses Work?
Once you registered, you will receive an email within 24 hours with your log-in credentials to our CPE and CPA learning portal where you will see the course/s you purchased. It is the weekend and you have an hour to spare in between going to the gym and doing your laundry? Then you can immediately begin your CPE training.
CPE online training modules are like the best professors you never had. They have limitless patience. You can go back to a chapter as many times as you want. They never judge you. You don't get a condescending look when you get a checkpoint question wrong. They are available anytime. You get to access the training courses 24/7. They are never boring. Even the most diligent accountant is guilty of falling asleep in class; that will never happen here.
Our CPA CPE courses also allow you to access printable versions of the modules so you can have a hardcopy with you and do some light reading during your day's downtime. There are also presentation-ready format versions of the courses which you can share at your workplace. A well of resources is also within your fingertips including a glossary, follow on activities and supplemental reference materials.
After finishing each course, you can easily print your NASBA CPE certificate right there and then.
Quality, Value, Convenience: The Three-Pronged Benefits of Online CPE Courses
The advent of the Internet era has definitely changed the landscape of how people learn and this includes professionals such as CPAs. Now, the dissemination of groundbreaking industry knowledge and best practices are more convenient than ever.
Our CPE online courses offer three key benefits: quality, value and convenience. The people behind our CPE training programs bring with them decades of experience coupled with an extensive professional diversity. As such, we see CPAs not only as number experts, but as professionals with other capabilities. We are able to tie in the discipline of accountancy with other professional capacities which can give CPAs a unique competitive edge. Our modules are always compliant with the best and recent NASBA approved methods of instructions in its diverse fields of study to guarantee that CPAs who take our courses are always on the forefront of the profession.
In terms of value, just by browsing through our course offerings and seeing the prices slashed already gives you an idea of how much you're getting versus what you're paying for. Bolstered by a throng of peripheral features, you definitely get a bang for your buck. You're an accountant, we cannot fool you on this.
Finally, the way our modules are developed and structured and the 24/7 accessibility offer an unparalleled convenience never seen in CPE CPA a decade ago. No more long lines, no more driving out to a seminar or class. Your pace, your time, your future.
Again, there's no more acceptable excuse to not earn your CPE CPA credits. We have three words for you: Do it online! An additional three words:

As the 109th Congress adjourns, its inability to pass appropriations bills ranks among the top failures that have rightly earned it the moniker the "do-nothing Congress." Among the 9 of 11 mandatory spending bills that will not get final approval is foreign assistance, which includes funding for international family planning.
Funding for international family planning stands at $436 million. This is significantly below the amount passed by the Senate Appropriations Committee ($465 million), just slightly over what the House passed ($432 million), much better than President Bush's extremely low request of $357 million, and a fraction of what we're spending on related health issues. Congress passed a "continuing resolution" to maintain current funding through mid-February—perhaps to be extended for all of FY2007—unless the incoming new Congress can clean up the fiscal mess that has been left for them.
Adding to the list of unknowns is the Administration's effort to restructure U.S. foreign assistance programs. In addition to questions surrounding the 2007 budget, it remains unclear whether foreign assistance will continue as we know it. Until greater clarity is given, U.S. agencies that disperse funding to overseas programs are in a virtual holding pattern.
Because the State Department and USAID have been consumed by questions surrounding restructuring, they are struggling to come up with both a FY 2008 budget request and a reworking of the FY 2007 operating year budget. Bureaucratic uncertainty and increased workload on staff have led to a de facto moratorium on new approval of reproductive health projects. In addition, little of the previously-approved funding is being disbursed to organizations and field programs. Combined with the lack of an enacted FY 2007 appropriations bill, these delays mean that overseas programs may not receive a new infusion of funds until April or May of next year.
We urge the new Congress to take a more proactive role in ensuring that international family planning funding goes where it's supposed to—rather than get mired in a bureaucratic no man's land, which is where it stands now.

If you plan ahead, you can avoid this!
It's been a productive year of early mornings, lengthy commutes, and long, focused sessions at the office.
Are you looking forward to a wonderful two weeks of doing as you please, with no more pressing decision to make than what to order for dinner?
So fast forward to vacation time: imagine you're sitting on your towel-sized rectangle of real estate on the beach, surrounded by a swarm of other holiday-makers. Not much different, it dawns on you, than the cubicle you occupy at work. Suddenly, the ringing of your cell phone cuts through the crowd's din. It's someone from work, calling with "urgent" business that you can't do anything about.
If this scenario fills you with horror, how do you go about taking a real vacation this year? Well the truth is, it takes...

Finally it died as it has lived: in an explosion of moral piety designed to disguise actions that, in truth, were the expression of the most ruthless and inhuman business judgment. The News of the World, Britain's most popular newspaper, was closed down today, the victim of its own reprehensibly-won success, and 200 journalists were facing up to the reality that they will need to look for another job.
It was the right thing to do, James Murdoch explained in a written statement. "Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued," he explained, describing the culture behind the stunning series of crimes that have unfolded into public light this week to put the final cap on the phone-hacking scandal that has dogged his father Rupert's empire for years. In order to atone for—among other sins—breaking into the voicemails of a murdered girl and deleting them to make room for more, in the process giving her family and friends false hope that she might have yet been alive, Murdoch explained that the proceeds of the final edition would be given to good causes.
"These are strong measures," he said. "They are made humbly and out of respect. I am convinced they are the right thing to do."
He did not add that in the process he and his father would be able to carve an opportunity out of a crisis by making the News's sister paper, the Monday to Saturday Sun, into a seven day operation, with the hope of producing the same revenue with a far smaller staff.
Indeed, saying so would have been out of character; that's not how things work at the News of the World. At the News of the World, vicious commercial decisions taken with no regard for the fates of the ordinary people who have done no wrong—a murdered girl's parents, a new and less corrupt generation of News reporters—are routinely dressed up as acts of the greatest nobility.
News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks was once the newspaper's editor, and arguably the person who bears the most responsibility for its cutthroat culture of utter disregard for the law, or for any kind of ethical code. It was she who was tasked with delivering the official explanation to stunned staffers.
She did so in a brief speech that must have been unlike any delivered to a British newsroom in recent history. According to reports in various rival papers—there are no shortage of talkative sources in that newsroom now—she'd given senior editors just a few minutes notice of the bombshell plan; the mood later, when she finished telling the hoi polloi why they would all lose their jobs because of her (she may have phrased it differently) was, by all accounts, febrile, and Brooks must have been glad of the minders who had accompanied her into the newsroom.
Editor Colin Myler, as unsighted and stunned as anyone else, told her that he wanted to speak to his staff without her present. And then the most powerful woman in British newspapers left the newsroom of her most beloved title, the one she had killed, for the very last time. Inevitably, these being journalists, and this being London, everyone decamped to the pub. "They're closing down a whole newspaper just to protect one woman's job," one unnamed reporter told Reuters afterwards. "There is a feeling of seething anger and pure hatred toward her. People are just in a complete state of shock."
I work at The Independent, and there too the news was met with total disbelief—a genuinely jawdropping moment, the kind you're unlikely to experience very often in your working life. The first garbled reports were dismissed (by me, at least) as misunderstandings or typos. And then the sources got more authoritative, and the details more convincing. And we realized it was true. The office dissolved into the kind of frenetic, concentrated activity that must be unique to newsrooms, and must have been found at the News of the World more often than anywhere else.
Every British newspaper, and presumably many American ones, will be plastered with this tomorrow. A story that was once, with a couple of honorable exceptions, dismissed across our press for reasons primarily rooted in self-preservation—a phenomenon I wrote about for CJR's May/June issue—has by common consent become the most fascinating and dramatic on the British domestic landscape this year.

Medical Esthetics
Implement Business-building Techniques
By: Steven H. Dayan, MD; Tracy L. Drumm; and Terri A. Wojak
Posted: June 29, 2012, from the July 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Esthetic treatment rooms should be warm and inviting; this is a nice change from a sterile medical room.
Now more than ever, it is crucial to incorporate successful business-building techniques into your skin care facility. Competition with other businesses—as well as competition for the dollars in your clients' pockets—is at an all-time high, and if you aren't taking steps to retain existing clients with top-notch customer service and marketing practices, you might just get left behind. Following is advice about how to build and maintain your facility from medical spa professionals, including a physician, esthetician and marketing director.
Physician's point of view: Steven H. Dayan, MD, FACS
Because cosmetic procedures fall into a unique segment of medicine with elective patient care, cosmetic medical practices must also adhere to the guidelines warranted by the retail world. This concept of bridging together retail and medical services leads professionals into uncharted waters called "retail-icine." Respecting the physician's Hippocratic Oath, this new paradigm focuses on doing what is best for the patient first and foremost, and then tailoring the rest of the cosmetic experience to mirror the laws of consumerism. By blending these two worlds, current patients become the heartbeat of the practice and provide the greatest opportunity for growth. This is one of the key reasons that physicians in cosmetic medicine employ estheticians. Estheticians can be the niche needed to allow the cosmetic physicians to remain medical providers, while enabling their patients to receive the ultimate cosmetic experiences.
Investing time, marketing budget and energy into your existing patient base is one of the most profitable strategies available. According to W. Earl Sasser, chair of the program for leadership development at Harvard Business School, selling to a current client has a conversion probability of 1 in 2, while marketing to a new client has a mere 1 in 16 chance of resulting in a purchase. The fact is, if you are looking for a way to increase the profits of a practice and keep the phones ringing, you should look no further than your current patients.
Esthetician's point of view: Terri A. Wojak
Estheticians working in a medical setting have a very high standard to uphold. They must be well-informed on all medical procedures offered by the physician in order to provide complementing skin care services within their scope of practice. Most importantly, estheticians need to understand that everything done in cosmetic medicine and esthetics is about making clients feel better about themselves. While most facial treatments provide a relaxing experience and an immediate pick-me-up for the skin, cosmetic medical procedures can involve healing time. Of course, medical procedures ultimately result in improved self-esteem. The combining of these treatments makes your office a one-stop shop, giving clients the best of both worlds. Regardless of the treatment being provided, it is of the utmost importance that clients leave the facility feeling relaxed and better about themselves.
Think outside the box; set and execute goals that will make your practice the best. The ability to read and understand people is the key to operating effectively in your profession. When you clearly understand your clients' needs and anticipate them, you put yourself in a better position to increase your profits through client retention and satisfaction. Keep in mind, first-time clients can be easily overwhelmed by a busy spa. Take a few minutes to introduce yourself and offer a brief tour of the facility to boost their comfort level. Focus on becoming a reliable resource and a role model for your clients. Make it a goal to earn and maintain their trust and loyalty by comforting them and providing the best service based on their concerns and desires.

Although there may well be dauntless parents who would think nothing of mounting, say, a temple-to-temple Bhutan trek with their baby in a backpack, most of us are best off focusing on ease—and napping opportunities. Cherubs who adapt well to change are, of course, the best travelers, but even high-maintenance types benefit from new scenery. Book nonstop flights, and for safety, spring for a seat for your child (and lug aboard a car seat, too). But first, take your pick from these eminently doable getaway options.
Rent a Vacation House
Think of it: space for all that gear, a kitchen, a washer and dryer—and perhaps room for a doting grandparent or two. Rent-by-owner Web sites like www.vrbo.com have thousands of family-friendly options in vacation spots from Anchorage to Zihuatanejo. Or leave the legwork to the pros. Rental agencies such as ResortQuest (800/467-3529; www.resortquest.com) list properties throughout the U.S. and Canada. Ciao Bambino (866/802-0300; www.ciaobambino.com) plans villa vacations in Italy and France; it stocks the house with toys, snacks, and baby equipment; arms you with a mobile phone; and puts you in touch with experienced sitters.
Check into an All-inclusive
This is the cake-mix vacation—all the ingredients you need, just add sunblock. The Club Med resorts at Sandpiper, Florida, and Ixtapa, Mexico (800/258-2633; www.clubmed.com; one week for a family of four at Sandpiper from $3,855, at Ixtapa from $2,595), provide child care in their Baby Club Meds (expect to pay a weekly supplement of about $180 per child). Parents also have access to fridges and microwaves and, as part of the just-introduced baby welcome service, will find their rooms stocked with cribs, strollers, and infant tubs and childproofed. At Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort & Spa (888/232-2437; www.beaches.com; doubles from $865, kids under two free, kids under 15 $90 per night) families can sign on for a $12-an-hour Ultra Nanny who's ready to oversee everything from mealtimes to sand castle construction.
Take a Cruise
Vacations at sea work especially well for multigenerational groups—plenty of opportunities to scatter, and also to gather, especially at meals. Just be sure your cruise is well equipped for the under-three set. Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth 2 (800/728-6273; www.cunard.com; seven-day sail for a family of four from $4,196) offer complimentary nursery care from 9 a.m. to midnight, by certified British nannies, for children a year and older. Babies as young as 12 weeks can set sail on a Disney cruise (800/951-3532; www.disneycruise.disney.go.com; four-day sail for a family of four from $1,156), where the Flounder's Reef Nursery staff will look after them for an hourly fee of $6; space is limited, so book ahead. Another Disney plus: children in swim diapers can use one designated (and specially filtered and chlorinated) pool.
Splurge on a Fancy Hotel
Babies are welcome at some of the most sophisticated spots these days. The Ritz-Carlton, Cancún (800/241-3333; www.ritzcarlton.com; doubles from $399)—scheduled to reopen April 30 following hurricane repairs—has Itzy Bitzy Ritz kids' rooms with cribs, changing tables, and phones that light up instead of ring. Cribs with 300-thread-count linens and Mustela baby toiletries await at the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, Arizona (800/245-2051; www.sanctuaryaz.com; doubles from $525). And at the One & Only Maldives at Reethi Rah (866/552-0001; www.oneandonlyresorts.com; villas from $990), a "villa host" will sterilize bottles and launder clothing, while a chef whips up baby food. Mashed mango, sweetie?
Lighten Up
Find diapers, baby food, and other necessities waiting at your rental house, hotel, or cruise ship. Jet Set Babies (866/990-1811; www.jetsetbabies.com) delivers.

I almost gave up on finding local sablefish. Also known as black cod, sablefish was a tasty staple of our program last year, but unfortunately it has been extremely hard to come by this year. Although it's a year-round fishery, we haven't featured it since November due to the recent changes in regulation and rebuilding plan resulting in drastically lower quotas for the next 4-years. As a result very few fishermen are fishing for it. Sablefish is highly prized for its intensely rich, buttery flavor – hence the nickname "butterfish" – and for its surprisingly delicate texture. Although commonly called "black cod," this deep-sea fish, which can live at depths over 5,000 feet (1,500 metres) is not part of the cod family. Sablefish have a charcoal gray body with a pale grey or white belly. Their sleek bodies are covered with very fine scales (no need to scale them) that feel vaguely furry to the touch. Sablefish inhabit shelf and deep-sea waters from central Baja California to Japan and the Bering Sea (where the majority are caught). Sablefish can live for over 90 years, but females reach maturity at only 3-5 years, meaning there is plenty of opportunity for them to reproduce over the course of their lives.
In addition, as part of our effort to reduce waste we will have close to zero waste this week! All the waste associated with filleting is being used by our crab fishermen!

The seven adult siblings have problems: spousal abuse, interfaith marriages, adultery, unplanned pregnancies, though this second generation of Irish-Americans is updated to recovering alcoholics, women worrying they may pick the wrong man because their dad was absent, and thirty-something bachelors fearing they've played the field too long. But these are as nothing compared to the central dilemma of the film: Should an absentee dad gone missing for 20 years be allowed to come home for Christmas dinner? Do we really have to ask?
Burns plays the affable Gerry, a kind of junior paterfamilias holding the family together, living at home with Mom (Anita Gillette), and managing, sometimes mismanaging, the lives of his brothers and sisters. But it's like herding cats to try to convince "the family"—including Mom, of course—to get together with Dad for this year's holiday, probably Dad's last ever. Adding to the emotional pressure is Mom's December 23 birthday; in the only non-sappy line in the film, she spunkily says, "When you have your birthday two days before Christmas, you get used to eating your cake alone."
We don't spend enough time with the other brothers and sisters to care about their issues—though we're glad of Gerry's burgeoning romance with Nora (Connie Britton, playing a caregiver to a friend of the family). What does come through is that the sometimes self-involved siblings always unite when threatened by "outsiders." They are kind of mid-range Kennedys; the hereditary family business is even a bar. Nice, but where's the holiday tag? And while we get that Mom, generous in most ways, is bitter about being abandoned, the script drops in too many reasons for Dad's departure: He maybe had to go to make his first million, there was of course another woman involved. But with that "full of blarney" glint in the eye (a clever performance by Ed Lauter as Dad), explanations are left in the air.
Oddly, it turns out that the original couple—Mom and Dad—are where the magic happens. We end up believing in their years-ago attraction, though this coda underscores the ancient Irish-Catholic message that men are devils, and women angels who must forgive. Just ask Malachy McCourt, playing a stock Irish priest.
As for Christmas Day itself, though the matching holiday p.j.'s are cute, the only universal memories that are triggered involve guilt-motivated travels, last-minute gift-buying, and that pesky Scotch tape. This is why some people avoid the holidays altogether, and will probably do the same for this movie.

V-EDM Morning Playlist: Monsta x Roger Sanchez x Diplo
VIBE's daily dose of morning dance music
Tinie Tempah - Trampoline (MONSTA Remix)
The OWSLA trio responsible for their huge "Messiah" EP last year is back at it again, pumping bass and big room synths into Tinie Tempah's recently released single with 2 Chainz and Diplo. Featured as an official remix for the single, be sure to cop the track along with other remixes on its August 4th release date.
Roger Sanchez Presents "Release Yourself '13"
Roger Sanchez has slowly gained a reputation with his "Release Yourself" installments, capturing a snapshot of contemporary house music every year. 2013's compilation boasts 31 top-notch house tracks from formidable and up-and-coming producers. Preview some tracks below and check out "Release Yourself" on beatport.
Diplo feat. Mike Posner & Boaz Van de Beatz & Riff Raff - Crown
In celebration of reaching one million twitter followers Diplo dropped "Crown," a huge festival trap joint with some interesting features. Opening with an airy melodic intro assisted by Mike Posner, the track quickly switches gears and drops into a turnt up, bass-growling lazer firing banger. Riff Raff jumps on with a hook near the end as the epic collaboration fades out. Only Diplo.

Moving on to the Crowes, Allison went to do a home check on Kendal and Wendy, and when she left, Danny was outside with Chelsea the big-balled dog and barked at her. Was that barking scripted or something AJ Buckley found on set?
That was all scripted. We could have called the episode "Plausible Deniability." We didn't want Danny to push her off the road and then walk up and say, "Hey, it was me." But we wanted him to let her know that it was him but in no way was it incriminating. Now, if it was a CSI show, they would find paint traces on his bumper and all that stuff, but that's not our show.
I loved that line when Allison saw Raylan with a bruised face, too: "What the hell happened to your face?"
That was just an attempt to get the information out without having to go into the scene. Okay, we know what they're going to talk about, but we don't have to see it.
When Darryl can't find Jean-Baptiste, there's that scene where Danny makes up the story about Jean-Baptiste being fed up with Darryl and leaving town.
As we spoke about last week, the death of Jean-Baptiste was not part of the original plan. Initially when we broke episode 6, we had Jean-Baptiste in it. So then we had to adapt. That scene between Darryl, Kendal, and Danny talking about Jean-Baptiste was something that was shot after the rest of the episode was shot.
Dewey trying to sell his pool —
"It's my dream." "Some cosmetic damage." You work with what you got. So when we had the scene in episode 5 where Dewey is giving away his turtle dog and gator teeth necklace to Teena and Meena, that established his state of mind. We wanted to further that in this episode and then have him say, "No. I will not [give up my dream]." That gives him the whole idea of going at Boyd, and that, of course, takes a Dewey-like turn because things just don't come easy to Dewey Crowe.
When Danny is carrying that guy out past Dewey, sees the prostitute and says, "How you doin', sweetheart?" and then, "Goddamn it, I was havin' a good hair day" — was that scripted?
I'm pretty sure the "good hair day" was AJ. One thing about that scene is he had to carry a guy for several takes, and by the end, he was exhausted.
I'm really liking what AJ's doing with Danny. From the beginning of the season, Danny's been described as a psycho, and he's realllllly showing it.
He is spectacular. You get an actor like that and he just makes it so real and enjoyable and scary, but not repulsive. I don't know what it is, but he's pretty magnetic.
Dewey and Danny went to Boyd's bar to put a gun to Boyd's head, hoping that Dewey could get money to pay Darryl to leave Kentucky. They found Carl instead. After Dewey couldn't pull his gun, a fight ensued. Usually on Justified, the action is one punch, one swing of the bat, or one swing of the shovel. This was an extended scene.
We wanted Carl to be a very hard get for them. Even though they've got guns, we wanted to establish Carl's badassery.
Picker arranged for Boyd and Wynn to meet Mr. Yun.
We initially called the character our Mexicasian. We just wanted something that wasn't the stereotype of Mexican drug people. Part of it is one of our writers, Leonard Chang, is Asian, and so we have tried to put more Asians in the show just to get a smile out of him. And Ingrid stumbled across this thing about Korean laborers in Mexico back a hundred years ago. It just seemed to kind of fit, and it became something that would be a little different. You will see [Yun] again. He works for a cartel. He's the face of it.
After Wendy headed Rachel and Raylan off before they could get to Danny, they went looking for Mike, the owner of the home where the Crowes were crashing. They found Kendal working at Mike's hardware store and Darryl there with a saw. That was a fun scene for Michael Rapaport.
Early on, we in the writers room went through various versions of what was gonna happen in the hardware store and when we'd see Hardware Mike. It was just a character we've always enjoyed, and we like that hardware store. That's the same store with the girl with the braces last year. You go back to season 1, it's the one where Ava was buying stuff and Johnny came in and started talking about, "I need a roll of plastic, I need an axe, I need a shovel," and it was all to try to intimidate Ava. We had crazy ideas of people having plugged in circular saws and having them race across the ground and stuff like that, and it just became undoable. It became funnier rather than having something with an edge of danger. Having a guy walk in with a battery-operated circular saw seemed like it was kinda scary and weird.
