The installment sales method is one of several approaches used to recognize revenue under the US GAAP, specifically when revenue and expense are recognized at the time of cash collection rather than at the time of sale.[1] Under the US GAAP, it is the principal method of revenue recognition when the recognition occurs subsequently to the sale.[2]
The installment sales method, is used to recognize revenue after the sale has occurred and when sales are stipulated under very extended cash collection terms.[3] In general, when the risk of not being able to collect is reasonably high and when there is no reasonable basis for estimating the proportion of installment accounts, revenue recognition is deferred, and the installment sales method is used. The installment sales method are typically used to account for sales of consumer durables, retail land sales, and retirement property.[3] Under the cost recovery method, another method to recognize income after the sale is made, no profit is recognized until all the costs are recovered.[4]
The installment sales method recognizes revenue and income proportionately as cash is collected. The amount recognized in any period is thus based on two factors:[5]
Below is an example of calculation of installment sales for years 2009 and 2010.[5]
2009 | 2010 | |
Installment sales | $1,200,000 | $1,300,000 |
Cost on installment goods sold | $840,000 | $884,000 |
Gross profit | $360,000 | $416,000 |
Gross profit percentage | 30% | 32% |
Cash collections | ||
On 2009 installment sales | $300,000 | $600,000 |
On 2010 installments sales | $340,000 |
The income recognized in 2009 equals cash collections in 2009 multiplied by the gross profit percentage in 2009 and is calculated as follows:
Such income is shown on the 2009 income statement as 2009 income from installment sales.
The deferred gross profit is an A/R contra-account and is the difference between gross profit and recognized income and is calculated as follows:
The deferred gross profit is thus deferred and recognized in income in subsequent periods, i.e. when the installment receivables are collected in cash.
Total 2010 installment sales income | |
Gross profit recognized | |
Component relating to 2009 Sales | |
Cash collections in 2010 from 2009 sales | $600,000 |
Multiplied by year 2009 gross profit percentage | 30% |
$180,000 | |
Component relating to 2010 sales | |
Cash collections in 2010 from 2010 sales | $340,000 |
Multiplied by year 2010 gross profit percentage | 32% |
$108,800 | |
Total installment sales income recognized in 2010 | $288,800 |
A more comprehensive table would clearly show gross profit and deferred income recognized for each year: 2009 and 2010.
2009 | 2010 | |
Installment sales | $1,200,000 | $1,300,000 |
Cost of installment goods sold | ($840,000) | (884,000) |
Gross profit | 360,000 | 416,000 |
Less: Deferred gross profit on installment sales of current year | (270,000) | (307,200) |
Gross profit recognized on current year's sales | 90,000 | 108,800 |
Plus: Gross profit recognized on installment sales of prior years | 180,000 | |
Total gross profit recognized in the year | $90,000 | $288,800 |
Installment sales and the related costs of good sold must be tracked by individual year in order to compute the gross profit percentage that applies to each year. Furthermore, the accounting system must correctly match the cash collections with the specific sales year so that the correct gross profit percentage be applied.[6]
On the balance sheet, "the accounts receivable - installment sales" is classified as current assets if it is due within 12 months of the balance sheet. Otherwise, it is classified as long term assets.[6]
Under the GAAP, the interest component of the priodic cash proceeds is computed separately. In fact, interest payments are not considered when the recognized gross profit is computed on installment sales. Certain procedures differentiate between principal and interest payments on customer receivables.[7]
Cash method – The cash method requires that an amount be included in gross income when it is actually or constructively received. The installment method allows greater deferral when the payment is received in the form of a negotiable note. The cash method does not allow for differing between cost recovery and gain.
Accrual method – The accrual method requires income to be recognized as soon as the taxpayer has a right to the income regardless of when the payment is actually received. As such, the taxpayer would have to recognize the full amount of the sale despite the fact that the purchase price may not be paid in full for years.

Match Preview
Rosenior ready to face boyhood club Liam Rosenior used to go to bed dreaming of West Ham - now he hopes to wake up on Sunday morning having beaten his boyhood club. With his father Leroy playing for the Hammers between 1988 and 1992, Rosenior was a regular visitor to Upton Park in his formative years. The club worked its way under his skin - and into his bedroom - but there will be no sense of split loyalty when the Tigers look to build on their impressive defeat of Newcastle last weekend. "West Ham is a club close to my heart because my dad played for them and I was brought up around the club," said Rosenior. "It was a fantastic place to be around and I used to watch all their games. I even used to have little West Ham bed sheets! "I know all about them. But our job is to win games in the Premier League." The mood around the club is buoyant after the 3-2 win over the Magpies, a first away success to add to their home victory over Norwich. Rosenior, who made his first start of the season against Newcastle in an unfamiliar left-back role, was pleased with the result but hopes it does not stand out as exceptional by the end of the campaign. "I'm not being arrogant, or saying we expect to win, but we should aim to win every game," said the 29-year-old. "That's what we're looking to do...make inroads into the league. "Going to Newcastle and winning is a big boost to confidence. "I don't think we want it (the Newcastle result) to be a highlight of our season or to pat ourselves on the back too much." Rosenior is not guaranteed a starting spot against the Hammers, with Maynor Figueroa back from a spell of compassionate leave to take his usual place on the left side of defence. But Rosenior impressed manager Steve Bruce with his application at St James' Park and one option could be to switch him to his favoured right-back slot ahead of the more attack-minded Ahmed Elmohamady. West Ham manager Sam Allardyce believes the Hammers will come up against a Hull side high on confidence after they registered their first away win of the season last weekend when the teams meet at the KC Stadium on Saturday. Steve Bruce's newly-promoted side won 3-2 at Allardyce's old club Newcastle, the same scoreline by which West Ham went down to Everton at Upton Park. The Tigers have had a fairly good start to their Barclays Premier League campaign and currently sit two points ahead of West Ham in the table, with Allardyce admitting he has been suitably impressed. "For them to get their first away win was a huge result, it lifts the whole city, the backroom staff and all the players," he said. "We face them at a time when their confidence is sky-high so as always we'll have a tough game on our hands. "His [Bruce's] players, irrespective of how many he's changed, have gelled well which was the opposite to his time at Sunderland. "At Hull he's changed a lot of players and it's worked for him very, very well in a short period of time and they've obviously started the season exceptionally well." West Ham's own victory last weekend saw them bring to an end a barren run in front of goal. Highly-rated midfielder Ravel Morrison has continued to impress since working his way in to the team and Allardyce believes the former Manchester United youngster is playing well enough to maintain his place. "At the moment his performances are exceptionally good and that means you don't have to fight for your place," said Allardyce. "If you're good enough then you're old enough and he's proved that up to now. We've got to keep his feet firmly on the ground and watch out for head swelling." Despite breaking their goalscoring duck against Everton Allardyce remains keen to strengthen his striking options in the wake of Andy Carroll's pre-season heel injury. Mladen Petric was signed on a free transfer and former Hammer Carlton Cole will soon join him once Allardyce is convinced by the England international's fitness. "We've had Carlton training with us for a while now and as soon as he's fit enough to play there will be an offer of a short-term contract on the table, there's no doubt about that," he confirmed. "That's why he's here with us and that's why we're trying to improve his fitness having missed pre-season. As soon as he's okay and suitable terms and conditions have been agreed, which is nothing do with me, then he'll join us for however long the contract is negotiated for. "We'll play a couple of behind-closed-doors games just to let him get some match practice and then we'll take it from there."

The Quraysh (Arabic: قريش, Qurayš; other transliterations include Qureish, Quraish, Quresh, Qurish, Kuraish, and Coreish) were a powerful merchant tribe that controlled Mecca and its Ka'aba and that according to tradition descended from Ishmael.
Muhammad was born into the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe.[1]
The tribe traditionally traces a genealogical history backwards from their eponymous ancestor Mudhar to Adam, Abraham and Ishmael:
According to this tradition, Quraysh is Nadhr ibn ("son of") Kinanah ibn Khuzaimah ibn Madrakah ibn Ilyas (Elijah) ibn Mudhar ibn Nazar ibn Ma'ad ibn Adnan ibn Add ibn Sind ibn Qedar[2] ibn Ishmael[3][3][4] ibn Abraham[5] ibn Azar[6][7] (Terah) ibn Nahoor[8] ibn Serug[9] ibn Reu[10] ibn Peleg[11] ibn Eber ibn Salah[12][13][14] ibn Arpachshad[15] ibn Shem ibn Noah ibn Lamech[16] ibn Methuselah ibn Idris (Enoch) ibn Jared ibn Mahalalel ibn Kenan ibn Enos ibn Seth ibn Adam.
According to Arabic history books, the Quraysh tribe was a branch of the Banu Kinanah tribe, which descended from the Mudhar. For several generations they were spread about among other tribal groupings. About five generations before Muhammad the situation was changed by Qusai ibn Kilab. By war and diplomacy he assembled an alliance that delivered to him the keys of the Kaaba, an important pagan shrine which brought revenues to Mecca because of the multitude of pilgrims that it attracted. He then gathered his fellow tribesmen to settle at Mecca, where he enjoyed such adulation from his kin that they adjudged him their de facto king, a position that was enjoyed by no other descendant of his. Different responsibilities were apportioned between different clans. There were some rivalries among the clans, and these became especially pronounced during Muhammad's lifetime.
The Quaraysh's main god was Hubal. According to The Oxford Handbook of Late Antiquity, "The Qurayshite pantheon was composed principally of idols that were in the Haram of Makka, that is, Hubal (the most important and oldest deity), Manaf, Isaf, and Na'ila."[17]
Some clan leaders did not appreciate Muhammad's claim of prophethood and tried to silence him by putting pressure on his uncle, Abu Talib. They rejected Islam's conception of monotheism; while they agreed that there was a single higher God, they also worshipped many lesser Gods they believed were intermediaries between mankind and the one higher God.[18] Many of the clans also began to oppose the followers of Muhammad, for example by boycotting them. A number of early Muslims took refuge with the Christian king of Abyssinia,[19] while Muhammad himself would later emigrate to Yathrib, now Medina. The Quraysh fought many battles against Muhammad. One major clash, the Battle of Badr in 624 C.E., where the Quraysh were defeated, was later seen as a turning point for Muslims.[20] After Muhammad died, clan rivalries reignited, playing central roles in the conflicts over the caliphate and contributing to the Shia-Sunni divide.
Muhammad ordered the Batn Rabigh Caravan Raid in 623 against the Quraush. This was the first military operation against them [21][22][23][24]
The second operation against the Quraaysh was in May/June 623 called the Kharar Caravan Raid [21][22][23][24][25]
This was followed by the Invasion of Waddan in August 623 [25][26]
In October 623 Muhammad ordered an attack against Quraysh caravans in Buwat known as the Invasion of Buwat [27][28]
Then in December 623 another Quraysh caravan was attacked in the Invasion of Dul Ashir [29]
He then ordered Muslims to gather intelligence against the Quraysh in January 624 in an oepration known as the Nakhla Raid, 1 member of the Quraysh wa s kileld and 2 were captured, this was the first time someone was killed in an operation[30][31][32]
A major operation was then launched in March 624 known as the Battle of Badr.[33] In this operation 14 Muslims were killed and 70 Quraysh members were also killed, 30-47 were captured[34]
After the introduction of Islam by Muḥammad, the Quraysh gained supremacy and produced the three dynasties of the Ummayad Caliphate, the Abbasid Caliphate and the Fatimid Caliphate.[citation needed] The split between the Shi'a and Sunni branches of Islam centers over the succession to Muhammad.[35] The Sunnis believe Abu Bakr was elected as Muhammad's successor while the Shi'a (literally "supporters [of Ali]") believe Muhammad appointed `Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor.[citation needed]
`Ali was a member of Muhammad's clan, the Banu Hashim. Abu Bakr, while a close companion of Muhammad, came from the Banu Taym clan.[35]
The second caliph, `Umar ibn al-Khattab, was from the Banu Adi clan.[35]
The third caliph, `Uthman ibn `Affan, was from the Banu Umayyah clan.[35]
When `Ali was made caliph after the death of `Uthman, the Caliphate was in the hands of the Banu Hashim, but he was almost immediately challenged by Muawiyah, who was a member of the Umayyad clan.[35] After `Ali's assassination at the hands of the Kharajites, the Shi'a hoped his son Hasan would become Caliph, but he deferred the position to Mu`awiyah, in hoping to quell the long-lasting civil war between the Muslims at that time. Mu`awiyah, in turn, violated the treaty signed with Hasan bin Ali, established the Umayyad line of Caliphs.[35]
After the death of Mu`awiyah, his son Yazid became caliph but was almost immediately challenged by `Ali's younger son, Hussayn. Hussayn would not swear allegiance to Yazid when he received letters from the people of Al-Kufah that speak of Yazid's wrongdoing against Islam, and Hussayn's acknowledgment of the caliphate's non-hereditary lineage, which Yazid had breached. Hussayn was martyred by the stronger forces of Yazid at the Battle of Karbala. This event would ultimately lead to a full schism between Shi'a Islam and Sunni Islam.
In the Shi'a view, Muhammad's descendants through Ali were persecuted by Umayyad Caliphs.
Quraysh branched out into various sub-clans, who in turn branched out into yet further sub-clans. Roughly the division corresponded to the family lines of the current chieftain of that clan having sons.
The leaders of the Quraysh (Arabic: Sadat Quraysh), who formed Mecca's aristocracy upon the appearance of Muhammad, included:

Royal hoax DJs taken off air amid anger over death

Two Australian radio presenters who made a hoax call to the hospital treating Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine were taken off the air Saturday after the nurse who took the call was found dead in a suspected suicide.
This combination picture received from Southern Cross Austereo shows Australian radio station 2Day FM presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian. The radio station announced it had taken the two presenters off air after a nurse at the hospital which treated Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine was found dead in a suspected suicide, days after being duped by a hoax call from the DJs.
Jacintha Saldanha answered the phone when presenters from Sydney's 2Day FM called pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and William's father Prince Charles, before passing it onto a colleague who divulged details of Kate's condition.

EUGENE, Ore. — It's not your average dairy product. In fact, it's not dairy at all.
But somehow, the Eugene-based Avellana Creamery is still managing to take off in the cheese industry with an ingredient you wouldn't expect.
The owners, former workers on local farms, actually make the cheese from Oregon-grown hazelnuts.
And while the company has already found a niche in the local vegan community, the passion behind their artisan cheeses is something anyone can appreciate.
Avellena Creamery's story begins with Dingo. His adoption by co-founders Marika Banyacski and Susana Romatz prompted them to give up animal products altogether about a year and a half ago.
But it wasn't until recently that the two considered turning a family staple into a business.
"I got laid off on a Friday," Banyacski said. "And we decided we need to launch this now."
So, to brie or not brie, that was cheese question, and it was an easy one to answer.
The two now rent out kitchen space, making milk by soaking, blending and straining hazelnuts, which then undergoes pretty much the same cheese making process as regular milk, to create four different kinds of creamy boursalt and a parmesan.
And as vegan foodies focused on the use of local products to support the local economy, the pair says the business is about more than just making a delicious edible.
"The really important thing I want to say about the whole process is you can redefine what you think is possible," Romatz said.
And if others question whether their efforts make a difference at all, they're confident in the path they've chosen.
"It makes a difference in my life. It makes a difference in the quality of that farmer's life. It makes a big difference in the quality of that animal's life. There's a ripple effect that happens when you change very small habits in what you do," Banyacski said.
The group is just a few months out from achieving its goal in its kickstart campaign. But as of now, you can find their product on the shelves at The Kiva and OG Corner Market on River Road in Eugene. And, you can always order directly through their website.

The horn is not working on my 97 tacoma. I hit something & the horn stopped working. the hit did minimal damage-hood, grille, headlight. But didn't mess up the radiator or anything.
Everytime i press the horn i hear a clicking. I also traced the wire coming off the horn & it seems continuous. I tried installing a new horn, this doesn't work either.
Pressing the horn over & over again blew the fuse. So I replaced it, now the clicking occurs again. Anyone know whats going on?

Offering online lawn care tips provides a resource for current and future customers.
AgriLawn places basic lawn care maintenance tips on its website to help customers and drum up new business.
Today's consumers demand information at their fingertips, and in the age of Google, Facebook and Twitter, companies withhold it at their own peril. After all, it's available somewhere on the Web – so why not on your website?
That's why AgriLawn founder Roger Jacobi provides lawn care tips on his company's website. He recognizes the risk that some customers will simply take the advice and do the work themselves – or worse, hire another company to do it – yet he says the risk is well worth taking.
"Our website is a resource for current and future customers, and it lends credibility," says Jacobi, whose Oklahoma City-based lawn and landscape company is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. "Once they visit one page on the site, they'll visit other pages too."
Providing lawn care tips is also a way of generating new business, he says. Prospective customers that visit the website often later call the office to obtain quotes on work. "They access the information on lawn care tips to become better informed about which services to choose," Jacobi says. Consumers armed with information don't necessarily want to do to the work themselves, he adds.
Jacobi also views the lawn care tips as an educational tool for existing customers. "If they're already using our services and want to educate themselves, we can refer them to the website."
Despite his belief that having an effective, informative Web presence is essential to his company, Jacobi stresses that having one-on-one conversations and developing personal relationships with customers is still important. "Nothing beats having a conversation with a customer."
This story is one of three that appeared in Lawn & Landscape's Growing Green e-newsletter. To continue reading about AgriLawn: Shared ownership: As Roger Jacobi planned for retirement, he set up an ESOP to ensure his company would be left in good hands. Employee commitment: AgriLawn's success is a result of good hiring and staff development.
While city officials in a Maryland county discuss halting certain pesticides, LCOs should build relationships with local officials to educate them on the topic.

I want to make the transfer to kegging, but limited on price. So Im looking to try and pick up some used 5 gal kegs if anybody has some they want to sell.
check ebay. they're on there a lot and you can usually get them for under $40 each. I remember seeing a couple auctions for 4 kegs at about $80 total
Yeah im looking for some, but most of which i can find are for $50 a keg shipped, was hoping to get for a cheaper if possible
Check with a Pepsi or coke distributor. They often have them laying around. My neighbor works for Pepsi and has been bringing me free kegs for about a year now. He said they get thrown out otherwise
Nice didnt think of that will have to check for a local distributor and see if they have any.

This weekend's Groundhog Run can provide relief from the cold
As I type this Thursday morning, it's less than zero degrees outside and closing in on that inside with the heat conked out at home.
Going for a run is the last thing on my mind, not that it's ever the first thing, and it's hard to imagine what it took even the most intrepid souls to get out this morning for one.
But for those inclined to get back running ASAP, relief, shelter and even adventure awaits on Sunday in the 32nd Groundhog Run at Hunt Midwest Suptropolis, the world's largest underground business complex — so large that it could contain 38 Arrowhead Stadiums.
As it is, the labyrinth 100-150 feet below the surface near Worlds of Fun is the home of more than 50 local, regional, national, and international companies that employ more than 1,500 people who burrow in there.
(Per Hunt Midwest,
have a gander at a "typical 100 square foot building flyer.")
According to event publicists, tenants include the U.S. Post Office, the National Archives and Records Administration and Underground Vaults Storage, which stores a vast array of original movies and TV classics including "The Wizard Of Oz" and "Gone With The Wind."
But more likely it's Batman and James Bond you'll think of as you descend into the underground lair.
Or, if you prefer, "the caves," as Chiefs historian Bob Moore called the location when I set out to meet him there for a look at some archival material last summer and found myself in an otherworldly place once I found the entrance.
The way in will be made obvious for the races, a 5K at 8 a.m. and a 10K at 10 a.m., that continue to benefit the Children's Therapeutic Learning Center, a pre-school that provides educational and therapeutic services for children with disabilities and according to promoters has received $4 million from the race since 1982.
"You run," the promotion goes, "so they can fly."
And you run inside, in effect: If the temperature in Suptropolis isn't quite tropical, it's a constant between 65 and 68 degrees.
About 4,500 runners of all levels and backgrounds from all over the country are expected. Online registration is closed, but there are still a few spots open: Go to
childrenstlc.org and click on the Events tab for more information and to register for a chance to warm up.Join the Discussion

Aperture means "opening," and in photography the aperture is the size of the opening through which light is admitted to fall on the photographic medium.
Aperture is commonly referred to as "f-stop." The different apertures are referred to as (for example) f1.4, f2.8, f4, etc.
The size of the aperture controls for two things: exposure and depth of field. Depth of field is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that will be in focus in the picture.
A wider aperture (f1.4, f2.8) naturally lets in more light, and the depth of field is much shallower. A smaller aperture (f22, f32) lets in less light and the depth of field is greater.
The question is often asked by beginning photographers, "How can I have something sharp in the front of my photo and the background be out of focus." This is done by setting a wide aperture and focusing on something close to the camera.
By contrast, a photographer who wants to have a large depth of field, with both objects close and far away in focus, will need to set the f-stop to a larger number.
Controlling your aperture gives you a great deal of control over your photos as well. You will be able to clean up backgrounds with a wide aperture, or include multiple elements in a photo with a small aperture.
When you make changes in your aperture, you will need to compensate by making changes in the shutter speed or ISO so that your photo will be exposed correctly. Shutter speed and ISO will be discussed in upcoming tutorials.
Curious about why smaller apertures are larger numbers and larger apertures are smaller numbers? Wikipedia has a great explanation here (involves math!).

When returning the car the employee asked why it was dirty and why I didn't wash the car. ( The first I've ever heard of a hire company asking that). I told him it was dirty when I received it.

The reason that customers are advised to return the vehicle clean is to allow the vehicle to be checked thoroughly for any damages. It is in the customer's best interests to do so as it is impossible to check an unclean vehicle for damages as these can sometimes be hidden by dirt. At the time of hiring a vehicle from us every customer is asked to read through and sign an After-care sheet which clearly states all of this information along with any charges which may occur. The reason for this is simply to avoid any incident like the above and if a customer disagrees with any charges specified in the After-care sheet then they should not proceed with the hire. I may also add that each and every customer has the right to appeal any charges passed to them and has 3 days to do so. Once an appeal is received it is passed to Management who will investigate further to ensure that all processes have been followed correctly. We have an in house detailing team who maintain all vehicles to the highest standard therefore if the customer felt that the vehicle was unclean upon collecting it, this should have been brought to a staff member's attention at the time in order for the problem to be rectified there and then.

Mark Ballas Seriously Injured in Dancing with the Stars Finale Rehearsal
Originally posted 05/18/2014 10:45PM
Dancing with the Stars had a bit too much drama Sunday afternoon when pro Mark Ballas fell to the floor while rehearsing his freestyle routine with celebrity partner Candace Cameron Bure, a show spokesperson confirms to PEOPLE.
"Mark was seriously injured during camera blocking," the spokesperson says. "His shoulder popped out during a lift and he was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was treated and released. It's unclear whether or not he'll be able to perform on Monday's show."
The injury occurred at the CBS studio where Dancing is taped. Ballas and Bure were in the middle of a complex maneuver that involved Ballas lifting the actress onto his shoulders when the injury occurred.
Fellow pro dancers Derek Hough and Cheryl Burke were at the studio and rushed to Ballas's side on the ballroom floor.

She's been paired with two-time mirror ball winning champ Mark Ballas for season 18 of Dancing with the Stars, and she'll be sharing her experience with PEOPLE readers.
I can't believe we're going into week eight and I'm still here! Whoo hoo! My personal goal was to make it to week six, so anything after this is just a cherry on top.
After this week's show, we're in the home stretch with only the semi-finals and finale left. I'm giving it my all and am proud of my efforts no matter what the outcome and again want to thank you all for you support. It's been tremendous!

Candace Cameron Bure hasn't just picked up some new moves while competing on Dancing with the Stars, she's also learned a lot about herself in the process.
"Apparently I'm a perfectionist, which I didn't know before," she told PEOPLE Friday at the Race to Erase MS Gala in L.A. "I guess I have some perfectionistic qualities when it comes to my own performance. I'm learning to lower my own expectations as far as having unrealistic expectations of myself."
But the former Full House star, whose partner is Mark Ballas, said that she's exceeded her own expectations about how far she'd make it in the competition.

It was Latin week on DWTS last night and it was one exciting show! I'm still catching my breath and playing catch up since it was such a busy week. Not only did I have to learn the Argentine tango, but we also learned a group dance that included a solo. So, two dances in two-and-a-half days was crazy!
I traveled to New York in the middle of the week, co-hosting The View and dropping by ABC News, VH1 and Hannity for interviews. Because of my trip to the East Coast, Mark and I went into double rehearsal shifts to make up the time and man it was exhausting!
Dancing with the Stars: NeNe Leakes Gets Booted, Amy Purdy Is Injured

Amy Purdy and Derek Hough were declared safe right away and kicked off the night with a 36-out-of-40-point rumba to a slowed-down rendition of "Light My Fire" by the Doors.
"You lit my fire! ... First out, first class," head judge Len Goodman told the pair, while Martin gushed, "You were stunning. You made me feel a lot of things."
But the night wasn't entirely a win for Purdy, who was sent to the hospital shortly after her performance with a shoulder injury. She was unable to perform the group dance with her team at the end of the evening, and the dress rehearsal dance was used to judge the routine (more on that later).

Not everyone is going to agree with Candace Cameron Bure's evangelical Christian beliefs – and she's okay with that.
"As much as you want to try and explain your position to people, sometimes at the end of the day it is not worth it," the former Full House star tells PEOPLE. "I need to invest my time in my family and not trying to please everybody or getting them to see my own point of view."
As a contestant on this season of Dancing with the Stars, Bure, 38, has garnered praise and criticism for her conservative beliefs and her "boundaries" that have left her modestly clothed and with fully-dressed partners (even when pro dancer Mark Ballas wanted to show off his abs).

Apple readying iTunes Replay streaming service via iCloud
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Home Entertainment, Movies, Rumors
Are iCloud rumors replacing the iPhone 5 rumors? Today's report is courtesy of AppAdvice, which says that Apple is prepping a re-downloading and streaming service known as iTunes Replay.
Apple recently started allowing users to re-download TV shows purchased through iTunes, a feature already available for books, apps, and music. Movies are the one hold-out, but AppAdvice says iTunes Reply will add movies to the re-download list for a "full-fledged" service and potentially allow users to stream everything via Apple TV and iOS. No word on the desktop.
The service would apply to media purchased back to January 1, 2009. As Apple signs the appropriate licensing agreements, the company will put arrows next to purchased shows and movies to indicate that they are eligible for replay, AppAdvice said.
The blog said users should "expect this to go public in the coming weeks" and framed it as "an extension of what Apple is already doing with iCloud."

Apple TV update brings iCloud TV streaming, Vimeo
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Home Entertainment, Internet
Apple just released an update for the Apple TV that brings a couple of new and welcome features to the platform. First, iCloud integration for television shows. There is a new "Purchased TV Shows" area that shows all shows that you have bought, either through the iTunes Store or from the original Apple TV (the current model doesn't allow purchasing, just renting.) You can go into this area for a list of shows you own, and then can drill into that show to see which episodes you've purchased, indicated by the iCloud logo. The other feature that the update brings is Vimeo support. You can now browse and play content from Vimeo, and if you have an account, you can even put in your credentials to access your inbox and mark videos you want to watch later.
The update is available now to all.

The Blank Screen: How Apple Outsmarts Competitors
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Editorial, Features, Home Entertainment, Software
When the iPhone was launched in 2007, I met with Phil Schiller, SVP of World Wide marketing for Apple, and Greg Joswiak, the Apple VP in charge of marketing the iPods and iPhones. During the meeting they showed me the iPhone's many features and shared their goals for the device, which has now become a major business for Apple.
During that meeting, they made a comment that I believe is really the heart of Apple's secret sauce and the cornerstone of how it continues to outsmart its competitors. They laid the iPhone on the table, with it turned off, and asked me what I saw. I told them I saw a 3.5 inch blank screen. They said that from Apples point of view, the "magic" of the iPhone is strictly in the software. And, they de-emphasized the hardware.
Yes, the iPhone was a slick smartphone with a great screen and, at the time, it broke new ground in smartphone design, and Apple was very proud of that. However, with the iPhone turned off, it had very little value. But once it was turned on, the iPhone's OS and apps turned it into a completely different device. While it was a phone, the software made it much more—it became a vehicle for applications. It also had another component that really made it sing and dance; it was also an iPod and was tied directly to iTunes. Now it morphed into a much broader multi-purpose device. It was a phone, a vehicle for apps, and an iPod, which made it a great personal mobile entertainment system.

Apple TV adds live MLB and NBA streaming
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, HDTV, Home Entertainment
Thanks to a software update for Apple TV announced Wednesday, owners can now stream live and archived U.S. NBA and MLB games. The Apple TV update version 4.2 also adds 5.1 Dolby audio to Netflix streaming.
Starting at $64.95 a year, the National Basketball Association's (NBA) "League Pass Broadband" lets you follow seven teams, while a $99.95 option lets you watch games from all 30 teams, amounting to more than 40 games a week during the season. However there is a location-based blackout period, meaning that you'll only be able to access your subscription in the state or zip code in which you purchased it.
Meanwhile Major League Baseball's "MLB.TV" streaming package, also available on Roku and PlayStation 3, starts at $19.99/month or $99.99/year for the Standard package; $24.99/month or $119.99 a year for the Premium package. Premium adds the ability to choose home or away team video broadcasts, DVR functionality, and split-screen viewing.

Microsoft aiming to start new TV service using Xbox 360?
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Microsoft, Rumors
Today Reuters reports on talks that Microsoft has had with several television networks about adding TV show content to the Xbox 360. While the details aren't known, one possibility is that the company could become a virtual operator and sell subscriptions to networks like ABC and NBC, or even add HBO and Showtime as subscription options. This would allow Microsoft to keep competing with rivals like Google (see the currently flailing Google TV) and Apple ( who recently released an updated Apple TV.) Microsoft actually has an advantage here if they choose to move into this area since the Xbox 360 is already in millions of homes, and adding services to the existing platform like that is much easier than releasing and expecting consumers to purchase a new device. If Microsoft plays their cards right, we could see the Xbox 360 take the top position in the battle for the living room.

Colorado Exempt Possessory Interests in Real Property, Referendum R (2010)
The Colorado Exempt Possessory Interests in Real Property Referendum, also known as Referendum R, was on the November 2, 2010 ballot in Colorado as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment, where it was defeated. The measure would have eliminated property taxes for individuals or businesses that use government-owned property for a private benefit.[1][2]

Elections results via: Colorado Secretary of State - official 2010 general election results
Text of measure
The language appeared on the ballot as:[2][1]
" | Shall there be an amendment to section 3 (1) (b) of article X of the constitution of the state of Colorado, concerning an exemption from property taxation for a possessory interest in real property if the actual value of the interest is less than or equal to six thousand dollars or such amount adjusted for inflation?[3] | " |
Media editorial positions
- Main article: Endorsements of Colorado ballot measures, 2010
- TimesCall.com supported Amendment R. In an editorial, the board said, "[Amendment R] means that if an individual or business uses government property and the private benefit is less than $6,000, the private entity would be exempt from property taxes. Because it costs more to collect property taxes on these small uses than is earned, the public is better off with the exemption. Vote for."[4]
- The Coloradoan supported the proposed measure. "In addition to the citizen-initiated measures, Colorado voters will also decide three constitutional amendments referred by the Legislature. All are noncontroversial and needed cleanups to the state Constitution...Amendment R would eliminate property taxes for businesses or people using government-owned property for a private benefit with a market value of $6,000 or less. This primarily impacts cattle grazers who currently end up owing less than $10 in property taxes. We recommend a "yes" vote on Amendments P, Q and R," said the editorial board.[5]
- The Durango Herald supported Amendment R. "This is actually a cost-saving measure in that collecting tax on such small holdings costs more than it brings in. This would not exempt concessionaires at Broncos or Rockies games, or firms such as ARAMARK, the company that handles food service at Mesa Verde. It would apply more to things like stock tanks and fences on grazing leases and relieve a paperwork burden on local officials and leaseholders alike," said the editorial board.[6]
- The Denver Post said, "This change makes sense, and we encourage voters to approve it."[7]
- ColoradoBallot.net, a local blog, said, "This is placed on the ballot by a bipartisan majority of the state legislature. This amendment is an example of how our constitution has way too many details in it - it's nuts that this cannot be accomplished with a simple legislative bill."[8]
- The Steamboat Today was opposed to all constitutional amendments on the Colorado 2010 ballot. "Some of this fall's ballot measures are more innocent, such as Amendment P and its attempt to transfer oversight of licenses bingo and raffle games to the Department of Revenue, and Amendment Q, which would establish a process for temporarily moving the seat of state government from Denver in the event of a disaster. But we hardly see the need for them. Why spend $116,000 to transfer gaming oversight to a different department when the current system seems to have worked just fine?" said the editorial board.[9]
Path to the ballot
- See also: How the Colorado Constitution is amended
Two-thirds of each chamber of the Colorado General Assembly was required to vote affirmatively in order to qualify the proposed amendment for the 2010 ballot.
The proposed measure was signed by the Speaker of the House on June 1 and by the President of the Senate on June 7. The approval of the measure by both houses qualified the measure for the 2010 ballot.[10]

Help me send this super cool short film I made to film festivals across the country!
About this project
My name is Elizabeth Wiegard. I am a recent graduate of Webster University's film program. For my thesis film at Webster, I made this film called "Hero-Man". We (my classmates and I) started pre-production on our films in about August of 2011. I can literally say I put my blood, sweat, and tears into this movie (funny anecdote: on the second-to-last day of shooting I was a hot mess and I started crying because I was so happy that the film was almost done. My crew saw me sobbing away and thought I had hurt myself or something.) It's been a roller-coaster ride to say the least, but in May of this year I finally finished the film. It was screened at the Webster Senior Overview Showcase, and was received so well that it made me want to take the film wider than I ever have in the past.
Now, entry fees to film festivals generally run between $25 and $55. While I would love nothing more than to enter all of the film festivals ever by myself, I would then be forced to live in a cardboard box on the side of the highway eating rocks and cigarette butts. This stuff adds up, and that's where I need help from you wonderful people!
Here is a list of film festivals I am looking at entering. (There more here on this list than I can enter, but I plan on narrowing it down based on entry costs, festival dates, etc):
St Louis International Film Festival
Chicago International REEL shorts film festival
Los Angeles Reel Film Festival
'IFS' Independent Filmmaker's Showcase
Sundance Film Festival (yeah, I know, "dream on, silly girl" but my philosophy is if you don't dream big you'll never get anywhere)
California International Shorts Festival
Indie Memphis Film Festival
Citizen Jane Film Festival
Hollyshorts Film Festival
La Femme International Film Festival
Now I've tried to select festivals from a range of establishment and location. I've chosen a few up and comers, as well as a few old powerhouses. My odds of getting in are different for all of these festivals, but I'm hoping that with my strategy, it will be less of a crapshoot.
Anyways, thanks for checking out this project. Please tell your friends about it! And you can also visit my website for more information about myself and past projects that I have done.
In the very extremely near future I will be putting up a special Kickstarted preview of the entire film just for backers, so be on the lookout for that.
So thanks again,
Elizabeth Wiegard
