Quarrier Corner: Big difference between conflict, bullying
Often times the term bullying is used synonymously with conflict. But there is a distinct difference. For teachers, parents and students it is important to know the difference so there can be a discussion regarding ways to resolve the situation or to identify the appropriate person that can help.Conflict isn't always bullying. Conflict stems from disagreements or differences of opinion. Conflict occurs occasionally and is not planned. Individuals involved in conflict have equal power in the relationship. And conflict is usually inevitable in groups.Bullying is persistent, aggressive behavior. It is a deliberate act that seeks to manipulate. Bullying is usually done with the intent to harm or humiliate. And in a bullying relationship, there is an imbalance of power. Conflict is a normal part of life and gives people the opportunity to learn about compromise and problem solving. Learning to resolve conflict can help to empower individuals to effectively handle situations as they arise.Bullying, on the other hand, could potentially have harmful effects if not dealt with in an appropriate manner. It is important that parents, school and community collaboratively work to educate students on the difference between conflict and bullying to enhance their social relationships in the academic environment.

Roboworm Straight Tail Worms - $3.49 to $3.79
The Roboworm Straight Tail Worms have become a staple for finesse fishing, harkening back to the days of the 'hand poured' finesse worms so popular on the West Coast more than a decade ago. The Straight Tail Worms are surprisingly effective, especially during the warmer months when fish pressure and boat traffic are at their peak. Roboworm uses state-of-the-art robotic technology (hence the name Robo-worm) to create consistent, well-defined colors every time. It also allows them to create unique color combinations, usually only found in 'hand poured' worms. The super soft plastic Strait Tail Worms end up having a very sensitive, alluring action complete with a Salt Release System that provides a burst of salt when a fish bites ' causing them to hold on longer for solid hooksets.
The 4.5" and 6" Straight Tail Worms are great for dropshotting and any finesse technique you care to try. For a larger presentation try Texas-rigging the beefy 7" Worm. No matter what your favorite worm technique is or where you fish, there's a Roboworm Straight Tail Worm that will put fish in your boat when it counts.

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: Use the FAT version for shakey heading. Awesome worms that work everywhere. Robo pretty much put all the garage handpour guys out of biz.
From: Jay6: USA 1/28/15
Comments: By far the best drop shot worm made. Catches them when nothing else will. Morning dawn, Aaron's morning dawn, and Aaron's magic are my best. Only negative is the durability isn't that great, but ill trade a worm for a good fish any day.
From: Will: AL 10/12/14
Comments: Best finesse worm out there. Easily have 15-20 different colors in my boat. Top producers for me are morning dawn with the hot tip, bold blue gill, aarons magic, mean green, salt craw, and kerrlicious. Pick some up.
From: Matt: AZ 8/7/14
Comments: There is a reason that people measure the quality of other soft plastic worms against Roboworms: because Roboworms catch fish. Though they excel on drop shot rigs, I have found that Texas rigging them on a 3/0 hook produces more quality fish. Please, if anything, buy a pack of bold bluegill. If you have the dough, also get Aaron's Pro Magic, New Ayu, Warmouth, and Margarita Mutilator. These worms are for real.
From: Matty: KY 7/20/14
Comments: Outstanding drop shot worm. They are not very durable and more expensive than other finesse worms but you can catch 2-3 fish per worm. When you do the math, each bait costs less than .25 a fish...100% worth it in my book.
From: Richard: TX 4/18/14
Comments: This is the ultimate drop shot & shakey head bait. I catch so many fish on this worm that it is unreal, most fish are in the 1-3lb range but I have caught bigger fish on this too. There are so many colors to choose from that it is easy to find the color that you are looking for. My favorite color is Aarons Magic red & blue flake. If that bite is tough I dip the end of the tail in JJ's magic and that tends to solve the problem. The only issue that I have is the durability, but who cares about durability if you are slaying the bass.
From: Brandon: MN
Comments: Do yourself a favor and pick up some Ehlers Edge colored roboworms. The color mimics a bluegill perfectly in the water. Like most people say, they tear up easily and work great on a shaky head. I would recommend carrying some worm glue to make sure the head stays on the bait keeper cause it will slide down after a fish or so. I don't mind because i keep my torn baits and use the smaller sections when fishing is tough and they want a smaller presentation. A must have for any finesse fisherman.
From: Jeremy: Dover, DE
Comments: Great worm with a shakey head..If none of the Zoom in the tackle box are producing try the bold bluegill. Only problem is they tear up easily. You will be lucky to get 2 fish out of one worm but nonetheless they are my go-to worm on Lake Lanier when the shakey head bite is on.
From: Curt: Buford, GA
Comments: Great bait for finesse fishing. It worked very well for pressed basses. I absolutlly recommend them. Aarons magic color worked very well for me.
From: Quino: Sevilla, Spain
Comments: This is one of the best baits i have found for drop shot fishing, this bait works fantastic in warm and cold water. This has become one of my favorites and a go-to bait for me i always have one tied on. I have caught so many huge fish using roboworms. The three best colors i have had success on are aarons pro magic, Pro blue blue neon bisp, and margarita mutilator.
From: Matthew: NC
Comments: You have to give up durability for action like that. The bass in my pond can't get enough of these things. You are not going to find color or action like that from any of the bigger brands. The other ones may last through more fish, well if you can catch any on them.
From: Richard: Jacksonville, FL
Comments: Great worms. Next best thing to a custom hand-pour ive used. Yeah, they tear...they are finesse worms, what do you expect. I figure one worm per fish is worth it to me. i toss the ripped ones in my bag and fix them with mend-it on a later date. Wish they had bigger worms available. Great color selection. Dropshotting Bold bluegill and blue crawl have been great producers when the bite is tough.
From: Mike: SoCal
Comments: I fish the margarita mutilator 6" at a local pond nose hooked with a circle hook, and I have to say, this bait is amazing. If there are any fish in the general vicinity of the cast, they'll hit it only a few seconds after it hits the water. My only complaint would be that it is not at all durable, but as Rusty said, if they were more durable, they probably wouldn't have the same quivering action that the fish love.
From: Nicholas: CA
Comments: get real everybody if they were made more durable you would never get the action you get the consistancy of these worms is second to none so soft and even when dead sticking them they still wiggle and quiver best worm period .
From: Rusty: MI
Comments: not a big fan of how easily they tear up or the packaging but they do catch fish no doubt. i like the 4.5 inch for a drop shot and the 6 and 7 inch on a shaky head
From: Tristan: Hoover, AL
Comments: Like everyone else says these worms are great!!! I love the amount of colors and the price is reasonable. What makes these worms perform is also its downfall; if you have a fish shake its head or jump out of the water there goes your worm. Will I still purchase, oh heck yes. To make them a bit more durable I apply a nice coat of mend it glue on the nose ; )
From: Brett: Rochester, NY
Comments: These have got to be the best drop shot bait out there. The action of these worms on a drop shot rig is outstanding! I can catch fish with these on even the hardest days. The colors are amazing and they are so soft and supple. They are priced reasonably as well, so don't hesitate to buy a bunch!
From: Keegan: IA
Comments: This worm has let me catch fish where others are not. It has changed my whole technic for bass fishing. I cannot put it down, 'cause nothing else produces like it. 6" New Ayu. Going on 9 years of it.
From: Ryan: Cedar City, Utah
Comments: amazing drop shot baits. I caught a 4 pounder on this bait at kentucky lake when i was drop shottin with it. I was usind aarons magic and let me tell ya they are far better than any drop shot bait ive ever used
From: Jared: KY
Comments: Clear water, smack em!! There is one color on TW that has won me ALOTT of money. Drop-shot it, shakyhead it, reverse it, wacky-rig it. I like to drop shot it. Feel not for ticks, but for pressure as the fish swims off with the worm.
From: Aeolian: Kalamazoo
Comments: Only worm you need for a drop shot! When bites are tough try wacky rigging it instead of texas or nose hooking. It looks strange but blue crawler is my best color.
From: Will: Benton Harbor, MI
Comments: My favorite worm, hands down! I used it to put more largemouth in the boat than both of my buddies last week. Aaron's magic onsistently performs well for me.
From: Steve: So Cal
Comments: Most consistent worm on the market for largies ad smallies. really made of a soft plastic which allows fish to inhale them and hold on...shakey head or split shot them and you'll get bit.
From: Adam: Costa Mesa
Comments: one of my favorite worms, this worm outpeform all fineese worm, colors, salt, bounancy is perfect, i use it for shaky head, spilt shot, tx rigging i have over 50 different colors of roboworm and different sizes, cannot stop buying those worms
From: Tyler: Baltimore, MD
Comments: Great worm I use the 4.5 inch worm for drop shot and the 7 inch worm texas rigged and do great not very durable but they catch fish
From: Kodee: CA
Comments: This is the best finesse worm made. Deadly for drop shot and have also caught bass texas rigging the 4.5 inch worm. Current favorite color is red craw and red crawler.
From: Emmanuel: Tucson, AZ
Comments: Best shakey head worm i've ever used. Works on every lake i've fished. From tournaments to just fun fishing, I keep one of these worms rigged on the deck of my boat.
From: Derrick: DFW, TX

Bucs, O's to decide belated set in twin bill
After rainouts, Norris will face Morton to open Interleague battle
After back-to-back rainouts, the Pirates and the Orioles will try to make up both contests on Thursday with an old-fashioned single-admission doubleheader beginning at 4:05 p.m. ET.
Orioles pitcher Bud Norris, who will start Game 1, left the Pirates with two nice parting gifts as he and the Astros exited the National League at the conclusion of the 2012 season. Norris gave up only two runs in 13 innings against Pittsburgh, recording two quality starts.
A trade to Baltimore from Houston and the Pirates' first postseason appearance since 1992 later, Norris will again take the hill against Pittsburgh after battling right hamstring issues that plagued him during his most recent start.
"Kind of tweaked it, but it wasn't really that big of a deal," Norris said following the game. "Just stretched it in between innings, and I was OK from there."
Norris will pitch opposite Pittsburgh starter Charlie Morton, who is still searching for his second career Interleague victory.
Morton has not earned a win against an American League opponent since his MLB debut, when the Braves defeated the Angels, 9-4, on June 14, 2008. Despite recording quality starts in four of his first five outings this season, Morton has been unlucky. The Pirates are hamstrung by offensive woes as they boast one of the least productive lineups in the Majors. Morton's average run support of 3.4 has the right-hander tied for 76th in the Majors.
Meanwhile, the Orioles are scoring 5.25 runs a game in support of Norris.
Chris Tillman, who will start Game 2 for Baltimore, earned a victory in his most recent start, a 10-8 win against the Blue Jays, despite surrendering seven earned runs.
Pittsburgh entered Wednesday ranked 27th with a .221 (197-for-890) team batting average and 25th with 96 runs scored. The Pirates have scored two runs or fewer in six of their past eight games.
One of those games was Brandon Cumpton's most recent start, a 2-1 loss to the Reds on April 24. He will take the hill for Thursday's second game opposite Tillman.
Despite giving up only two runs on four hits in seven innings, the right-hander took a hard-luck loss in place of the injured Wandy Rodriguez. The runs he surrendered ended a streak of scoreless innings at 20 2/3, dating back to July 30.
Cumpton needs to work on pitching inside without hitting batters. He plunked three Reds in his previous start, something that "irritated" Cincinnati manager Bryan Price.
"He pitched in, with conviction," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "He used his changeup to both sides of the plate, the slider played right-on-right. He's committed to pitching in, and a couple got in too much … but you can't have it both ways."
Pirates: McCutchen showing patience
Not eager to face the National League's reigning Most Valuable Player, most pitchers are content with sticking Andrew McCutchen on first base. He entered Wednesday ranked fourth in the Majors with 21 walks in 120 plate appearances.
McCutchen walked only eight times in 107 plate appearances last April.
The walks, combined with a .286 (28-for-98) batting average that is vastly better than his .247 (24-for-97) clip last April, have helped him post an on-base percentage of .408, which ranks 12th in the Majors.
Orioles: Tillman aims to put tough second behind him
• The second inning of Tillman's most recent start is perhaps the worst the right-hander has looked. Nine consecutive batters reached base to begin the frame, as the only out recorded was a fielder's choice. Six runs crossed the plate.
In all, 11 batters came to the plate in an inning that saw Tillman throw 35 pitches. Despite the tumultuous frame, Tillman went on to pitch 5 2/3 innings and earn his third win of the season in a 10-8 Orioles victory over the Blue Jays.
Despite the tumultuous inning, which required Baltimore's largest comeback of the season, Orioles manager Buck Showalter ultimately seemed happy with Tillman's showing.
"In a lot of ways it might have been one of his best outings this year, the way we perceive it," Showalter said. "He doesn't get involved in ERA and whatever. He wants to just give his team the chance to win. I came real close to taking him out there, and I told [pitching coach Dave Wallace], let's see the first couple hitters and see how it goes, and he came out with a little more stuff. He gave us some needed innings."
Worth noting
• Only four Pirates have faced Tillman. Russell Martin is 2-for-3 against the right-hander with a double, a walk and an RBI.
• Current Orioles are batting .471 (8-for-17) against Morton. J.J. Hardy leads the pack with three hits, and Delmon Young has a home run in three career at-bats against the Pirates right-hander.

Fun & Games Troubleshooter
The graphic used in the game below is of the 'Government and Politics' logo. To take a closer look go to Home Page Logo Sources. If you find this puzzle a little too difficult, then please try the 3x3 sliding puzzle.
The game starts with the graphic in its completed form. Take note of the piece in the upper left-hand corner! This piece will be removed once the tiles are shuffled.
To start the game, click 'Shuffle' or type 's' on your keyboard. This will randomize the tiles diplay the game playing area in a different order. The object of the game now is to restore the original graphic by rearranging the tiles.
There are two ways you can move tiles in the playing area: click a tile which is next to an empty space or use the arrow keys on your keyboard. Once you have all the pieces in their proper places, the blank tile should be in the upper left-hand corner. At this point, the final piece of the puzzle will fall into place and you will have completed the sliding puzzle.
At any time, you can solve the puzzle by clicking 'Solve' or typing 'v' on your keyboard. Also, you may wish to shuffle the tiles a few times until you get an arrangement which looks promising
Programming and Design by Raymond Lambe
Helpful Hints:
Since the missing piece is located in the upper left-hand corner, a good rule of thumb is to start completing the graphic at the bottom and work your way up. If you complete all rows except the top one, and these remaining pieces do not fall into place, it may be easier to begin again instead of trying to rearrange the rows.
Please Note:
The game loads necessary sound effects as they are needed. If you notice a momentary pause, it merely means that the game is loading one of the small sound files. (Sound files range from 2-3 Kb in size).

38 Years Ago: Alice Cooper Stages 'Welcome to My Nightmare' Tour
Kiss recently revealed that the staging for their upcoming tour will feature an enormous, fireball-spewing spider. And while the stage set is brand new, the idea is not — in fact, David Bowie's 1987 Glass Spider tour featured a huge spider set, and more than a decade before that, original shock rocker Alice Cooper used an oversized arachnid as part of his 1975 tour.
In 1975, Alice Cooper went from being rock's most dangerous band to being a sanitized, vaudeville-meets-horror-films icon with the release of 'Welcome to My Nightmare,' the first solo album lead singer Vincent Furnier issued under the name Alice Cooper after taking the name of his former group.
He supported the new album with an ambitious tour that was specifically designed to introduce a more mainstream-friendly Alice Cooper persona to the masses, forgoing some of the gorier, edgier aspects of past live productions for a slick, almost cartoonish show that was produced, directed and choreographed by David Winters, who had previously choreographeded films starring Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret.
Framed as a nightmare experienced by a boy named Steven, the show included Alice Cooper classics like 'No More Mr. Nice Guy,' 'I'm Eighteen' and 'School's Out' along with songs from the new album, staged in a slick multi-media production that featured filmed projections, four dancers, and elaborate sets and costumes. In the course of the nightmare Cooper encountered dancing skeletons, a faceless demon, a nine-foot cyclops and yes, enormous spiders (Take that, Kiss! Don't think so, David Bowie!) during the song 'Black Widow.'
And while Cooper's spiders may not have been as high-tech as Bowie's extravaganza, or the elaborate stage set Kiss have promised — in fact, they looked kinda like weird Muppets — it can still be rightfully said that he got there first in the classic rock world.
The Welcome to My Nightmare tour launched Cooper as a solo superstar, though he soon faltered with subsequent albums like 'Alice Cooper Goes to Hell' and went on to embarrass himself with an ill-advised '80s foray into New Wave titled 'Zipper Catches Skin.' The tour was also documented in a 1976 concert film of the same name, which failed at the box office but has since become a cult classic.

The City extends the privilege to engage in a commercial enterprise by issuing a business license. Persons without a business license may not lawfully engage in business. The license, which is often referred to as a permit or certificate of eligibility, must be renewed annually. Businesses, professionals, and occupations that meet all qualifications and legal requirements are eligible to obtain licenses upon application and payment of the license tax.
New Businesses: Businesses that begin after January 1 must file the business license application and pay taxes immediately.
Existing Businesses: Business license renewal applications and taxes are due by March 1 of each license tax year.
All persons (including corporations, partnerships and individuals) doing business in the City of Alexandria, or self-employed professionals on a part-time or full-time basis who have annual gross receipts in excess of $10,000, are required to pay an annual tax on gross receipts earned in the City. (This includes persons with "home occupation" businesses.)
Businesses, professions, and occupations are assessed an annual tax based on gross receipts earned during the past year. Gross receipts may be calculated on either a cash or accrual basis, but the basis must be the same as that used for federal income tax purposes. Gross receipts are the whole, entire, total receipts attributable to the licensed privilege, without deductions. No deduction may be made for the cost of the property sold, the cost of materials, labor, services, or other costs, interest or discounts paid, or any expense whatsoever.

NOTE: The procedures below apply to all for-profit businesses operating in the City. Procedures for non-profit organizations, including those with some taxable activities, differ slightly from these general procedures and can be found in the Licensing and Tax Guide for Non-Profit Organizations.
Virginia Business One StopVirginia Department of Taxation's Business Registration Pamphlet (PDF)
Persons starting a business in Virginia must register with the State prior to opening the business. Registration may be completed online or by filing Form R-1 with the Virginia Department of Taxation. Businesses located in the City of Alexandria that collect sales tax must ensure that the Business Locality Code (or FIPS Code) on their R-1 is 51510. To ensure that the business is registering in the proper jurisdiction, the business owner may look up the FIPS Code here or follow the instructions below.
Businesses with the following zip codes are located entirely in the City of Alexandria:
The 22302, 22304, 22311, and 22312 zip codes are shared between Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria. The 22206 zip code is shared between Arlington County and the City of Alexandria. If the business is located in the 22302, 22304, 22311, 22312, or 22206 zip code, the business owner may verify the business's locality via the United States Postal Service website by entering the business address and clicking on "Mailing Industry Information."
Obtaining a business license in Alexandria is generally a three-step process:
Step 1: Registration of the business entity.
a. Registration of a Corporation or a Limited Partnership
All corporations (foreign and domestic) and limited partnerships conducting business in Virginia must register with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. To become incorporated in Virginia, an organization must file articles of incorporation and amendments with the State Corporation Commission. Procedures for filing can be found in the Code of Virginia Stock Corporation Act, Title 13.1-601 through 13.1-800.
Additional information on registration or incorporation can be obtained by visiting the Virginia State Corporation Commission website or contacting:
Virginia State Corporation CommissionP.O. Box 1197Richmond, VA 23218866.722.2551 or 804.371.9733
b. Registration of a General Partnership or Trade Name General partnerships and trade names must be registered with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court imposes a small fee. Registration information can be obtained by contacting:
Clerk of the Circuit Court520 King Street, Suite 307Alexandria, Virginia 22314703.746.4044Email:
Assumed Name Certificate (PDF)
Step 2: Visiting the Permit Center.
In an effort to improve the business license application process, the City has created a Permit Center where applicants can obtain the approvals and registrations needed by most businesses.
The following can be obtained at the Permit Center:
Additional information can be obtained by contacting:
Permit Center Department of Code Administration301 King Street, Room 4200703.746.4200
Step 3: Submitting the completed application with payment and all necessary approvals and documentation.
The City business license application will be provided and may be submitted at the Permit Center at the address listed above. Some businesses may require additional documentation and/or permits.
NOTE: The assessed business license tax must be paid before a business license will be issued. The Permit Center accepts payment of the $50 license fee by check only. If a higher business license tax is assessed or if the licensee wishes to pay by other methods, the license tax may be paid at the Treasury Division in Room 1510 or at the payment kiosk in Room 1700. The Treasury Division accepts cash, check, money order or Discover Card. The payment kiosk accepts payments by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Card.
Business license applications submitted by mail must include payment of the business license tax. The business license application, payment (by check or money order), and any other required documentation may be mailed to:
City of Alexandria Business LicenseP O Box 34850Alexandria, VA 22334-0850
Persons seeking a permit to act as solicitors, canvassers or peddlers within the City must follow certain specific procedures before doing business in the City.
Solicitor Permit ProceduresSolicitor Permit Application (PDF)
Any person starting a business without a license shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and unless otherwise specifically provided by law, shall on conviction thereof be fined not less than $5 nor more than $500 for each separate offense. After 30 days, the penalty assessed increases to $10 or 10 percent of the amount of the license tax, whichever is greater. The penalty shall be assessed and paid along with the license tax and shall become a part of the license tax. (City Code Section 9-1-14)
Every person beginning a business, profession, or occupation is required to estimate the gross receipts he/she will receive between the date of beginning business and the end of the current license year (December 31). The current year's license tax is computed on that estimate. If estimated gross receipts are $2 million or greater, the estimated license tax is adjusted at the end of the tax year to reflect the business' actual gross receipts.
In the first year of operation: A business has no tax liability if its estimated gross receipts are less than $100,000 per year. However, the business must still register with the Permit Center. The minimum annual license tax is $50 for businesses with estimated gross receipts between $100,000 and $1,999,999. Businesses with estimated gross receipts of $2,000,000 or above are assessed a percentage of their gross receipts. See below for tax rates.
A more detailed explanation of this tax with examples can be found on the How Business Tax is Calculated page.
The license tax for the following types of businesses and/or business activities are not based on gross receipts as described above. Businesses engaging in these types of business activity pay the flat license tax listed.

Massage Parlor Operators
Every person operating a massage parlor, as defined by Alexandria City Code Section 11-4-1, shall pay an annual license tax of $5,000. Before any license shall be issued, the applicant must produce evidence that he or she has obtained a permit under the provisions of Alexandria City Code Section 11-4-7.

Itinerant Vendors
Every person engaged in the business of an itenerant vendor within the City shall pay an annual license tax of $500.
Businesses, professions, and occupations must file an annual business license renewal application and pay any applicable license tax by March 1 of each year. Most of the City license taxes are based on total gross receipts earned during the previous business year.
Under Federal and State tax provisions, localities such as the City are permitted to collect social security numbers for tax administration purposes. The taxing authority is charged with keeping the information confidential. However, in certain situations, it is optional that the taxpayer provide the social security number. Taxpayers are free to withhold this information if they feel that providing it would raise concerns about privacy and data security.
Any business that does not receive a business license renewal form may contact the City or download a form below. The business will still liable to pay the tax by the due date. Failure to receive a license renewal form does not relieve the taxpayer from the payment of tax, penalty, and interest.
Any business that operates without a license for more than 30 days or fails to renew a license by the due date will be assessed a penalty of $10 or 10 percent of the license tax, whichever is greater. (City Code Section 9-1-12)
The business license tax for existing businesses is calculated based on the prior year's gross receipts. A business has no tax liability if its gross receipts are less than $10,000. However, the business must still register and renew annually. The minimum annual license tax is $50 for businesses with gross receipts of at least $10,000 but not more than $99,999. Businesses with gross receipts of $100,000 or above are assessed a percentage of their gross receipts. See below for tax rates.
If any business changes location within the City, the business representative must fill out a new Interdepartmental Form and obtain all required zoning and code approvals as well as any permits that may be required, such as health permits. This process should be completed prior to relocating. Additional assistance or information can be obtained by contacting:
Business Tax703-746-3903Email:
In-person assistance can be obtained Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at:
Tax Services301 King Street, Room 1700Alexandria, VA 22314
Any business that has already paid the license tax for the year and then permanently ceases to conduct business may apply for a refund of the portion of the license tax paid based on prior year gross receipts. The prior year gross receipts will be prorated for the number of months in which the business was operating, and any resulting overpayment of tax will be refunded. If the license tax is paid upon estimated gross receipts, a refund will not be issued unless the estimated gross receipts exceed the licensee's actual gross receipts. The minimum license tax of $50 will not be refunded. The City will reduce any business license refund by any other taxes due and owing to the City by the licensee.
Any business that ceases conducting business in the City in calendar year 2013 may close the business license tax account by filling out the 2014 Cessation of Business Form and returning it to:
Business TaxP.O. Box 178Alexandria, VA 22313703.746.3903Email:
Prior year forms are available here for businesses that closed before calendar year 2013.
The following businesses are charged a flat rate in lieu of a gross receipts tax:
New Businesses
Businesses that begin after January 1 must file the application and pay taxes immediately. Payments for new businesses may be submitted in person at either the Permit Center, the Treasury Division, or the payment kiosk in Room 1700. The Permit Center accepts payment of the $50 license fee by check only. If a higher business license tax is assessed or if the licensee wishes to pay by other methods, the license tax may be paid at the Treasury Division in Room 1510 or at the payment kiosk in Room 1700. The Treasury Division accepts cash, check, money order or Discover Card. The payment kiosk accepts payments by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Card. The business license application, payment (by check or money order), and any supporting documentation may also be mailed.
Returned checks are subject to a $35 fee in accordance with state law.
Existing Businesses
Business license renewal applications and taxes are due by March 1 of each license tax year. The business license renewal application should be mailed to:
Business may choose to mail payment by check or money order with the renewal application or to use one of the City's other payment options. Any business paying by check or money order should be sure to write the business license account number in the memo field of the check or money order. Returned checks are subject to a $35 fee in accordance with state law.
Any business that does not receive a business license renewal form should contact the City. The business will still be liable for filing the renewal application and paying the tax by the due date. Failure to receive a license renewal form does not relieve the taxpayer from the payment of tax, penalty, and interest.
Persons who fail to pay a business license tax by March 1 of each year are charged a penalty of $10 or ten percent of the taxes due, whichever is greater. However, the penalty cannot exceed the tax due. In addition to the late payment penalty, interest accrues on the unpaid taxes and penalty. Interest on all delinquent taxes accrues at an annual rate of ten percent the first year and five percent each year thereafter until all taxes and penalties are paid. The City computes interest from the thirty-first day of delinquency. Any persons who fails or neglects to renew his/her license may additionally be subject to a fine of up to $500. (City Code Section 9-1-12 and 9-1-13)
If a taxpayer fails to file a business license tax return, staff will assess and enforce the tax based on the best information available. (Code of Virginia Section 58.1-3903) If the business has previously reported gross receipts or tangible personal property information, staff will use the previously reported information to prepare a statutory assessment at a 15 percent increase over the previous year's assessment. If staff is unable to obtain the necessary information, they will prepare a statutory assessment by reviewing the gross receipts or tangible personal property filings of a similar company. If this information is not available, staff will statutorily assess the business based on the best possible estimate.
Every business, profession, and occupation required to pay a City license tax should keep current and accurate records for audit by the City. Audits are conducted to ensure that business establishments are complying with City business license regulations. Also, audits are initiated when discrepancies are discovered in annual business tax filings.
The taxpayer can appeal the business license tax if he or she disagrees with it by first filing an administrative appeal with the Director of Finance. The City has a limited time to respond. Appeals of the Director's determination can be made to the State Tax Commissioner at the Virginia Department of Taxation. The taxpayer also has a right to appeal an assessment in the Circuit Court. (City Code Sections 9-1-43 through 9-1-43.2)

Fifty years after leaving Burma and 25 years after launching a teaching career in physical education, Bellevue College faculty instructor Stella Orechia is celebrating life milestones with a cycling sabbatical, pedaling 1,000 miles in the Northwest and 1,000 miles in Burma to increase support for refugees from Burma in the Northwest and on the Thailand/Burma border.
The first leg of Stella's Northwest journey is on Saturday June 1, from Lake City to Kent, a 50-mile route with a total ascent of 682 feet. She invites you to ride along and/or join the picnic at the end of the ride. The unsupported ride is free, but you must register and sign the waivers. Learn more on Stella's blog, Riding for Refugees.
A former Olympic-level athlete, Stella recently shared thoughts about goals, milestones, her remarkable mother and the community that helped her family settle in America after fleeing Burma.
Wellbody Blog: Who and what inspired this epic cycling sabbatical?
Stella Orechia: After 25 years of teaching, 15 at Bellevue College, I wanted to create a sabbatical project that would enrich my classes and expose the work of our Health/Physical Education department. I also wanted to document an active humanitarian effort that would benefit Burmese refugees. As the elements of this project developed, I realized that it's been 50 years since I was in Burma and wanted to make a trip there. (Cycling 1,000 miles in the Northwest and 1,000 miles in Myanmar) came to me as a way to support refugees both here and there. I would cycle the Northwest to benefit a local organization, Northwest Communities of Burma, and then I would cycle a loop in Burma to fundraise for a medical refugee clinic at the border, the Mae Tao Clinic.
My parents fled Burma with nine of us in the 60's. Their story of sacrifice and hardship is similar to other refugees and immigrants coming to the 'land of opportunity'. We resettled with help from the Catholic Church, other charity groups and very generous neighbors. I will never forget the kindness of so many as we resettled and will be forever grateful to this amazing country. I hope to give back in some way with this effort.
WB: Why did you decide to use fitness to mark a milestone and reconnect with your roots?
SO: As a health and fitness educator, I expect to walk the talk, or in this case, 'cycle the chat', to model what I profess. Fitness is also a way to honor my Burmese mother who was a multi-sport athlete and PE teacher in Burma. She danced, swam and played competitive field hockey. My sport favorites are volleyball, track and now cycling. I was fortunate enough in 1984 to compete at the Olympic Trials as a track athlete in the 400 meter hurdles. Now in my late 50's, fitness is all about a love for movement and play.
WB: What do you hope to gain (physically, emotionally) from the rides?
SO: I expect this endeavor to improve my overall wellness, in all dimensions:
- Physical –Increase cardio-respiratory fitness, muscular strength and endurance, improved sleep and immune function, just to mention a few of the physical benefits.
- Social – Communicating and exchanging ideas with diverse groups of people- refugees, website supporters, picnic volunteers, relatives in Burma, medical and healthcare employees. This is where I gain a sense of 'community' as it relates to wellness.
- Intellectual – I am learning Burmese, I have developed a website, I can now fix more than a flat tire, and I can discuss Burmese culture and history. All these have stimulated mental function and improved self-efficacy. Gains here provide additional life experiences that I can share.
- Environmental- My pedal powered travel not only reduces emissions by not driving, I am gaining a better appreciation for our amazing NW environment and nature.
- Emotional – Distress is reduced and my ability to express emotions appropriately improve.
- Spirituality – I can identify a purpose in life. I seek to help others and practice prayer with gratitude, just as my mother did. I feel her presence as a guardian angel on my handlebars. The Christian community where I live also provides support and identity.
- Occupational – I am appreciating the balance and integration of professional and personal work. "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." ― Confucius
WB: What has your work in health and physical education taught you about setting fitness/wellness goals?
SO: Wellness pioneers Travis and Ryan say that wellness is a process that begins with awareness. I have learned that success in reaching goals begins with assessment and awareness. Understanding the stages in behavior change also assists in the process. When a person is ready to set goals, using a tool like SMART is helpful. Here is an online SMART worksheet by sparkpeople.com.
I have also learned that goal setting is not for everyone. Sometimes it places unnecessary pressure and distress. We can practice behaviors that reduce the risks of disease and disability without setting goals. Let's appreciate our individual differences with awareness and strive to engage in attitudes and beliefs that promote positive living.
WB: What are the most meaningful lessons you teach your students about fitness/wellness?
SO: Along with the above, I think the most meaningful lessons are the ones students personalize and share with each other.
WB: What have been or will be your biggest hurdles?
SO: I haven't had or expected any real hurdles, maybe just a few puddles to ride through. The greatest challenge so far has come from creating a website from scratch. My task now is to:
1. Get the word out to support the cause
2. Encourage cyclist to sign up for a ride-along (any distance in any segment throughout any of the northwest rides).
3. Recruit volunteers for the picnics and for the NWCB summer youth program
4. Enjoy my training and to savor each ride.
For a schedule of Stella's summer rides in the Northwest, see Riding for Refugees or http://stellasbiking.wordpress.com/ Viewers can subscribe to follow her weekly blog from the home page.
Visit A Lifetime of Milestones and the Journey Gallery in The Loft (on the second floor of Wellbody Academy), to explore how others in our community are using life milestones to focus their efforts and make healthy behavior changes.
Want to share your RealLife story about wellness and healthy behavior change? Doesn't have to be a monumental thousand-mile bike ride! Tell us about your efforts to walk instead of drive, or order herbal tea instead of sugary soda, or get more sleep, or meditate while you floss! It's all good and will help inspire others.

Is there ant news yet? I'm hoping she skates one more year as I love her style. There is really no one else like her. Another special talent.
Is there ant news yet? I'm hoping she skates one more year as I love her style. There is really no one else like her. Another special talent.
I guess that depends on what she thinks she can accomplish.

I think I heard somewhere she wanted one more Canadian title. How many will that make and will it be a record?
If she skates at the 2011 Nationals, she might as well do Worlds too. I would think Skate Canada would expect her to do Worlds if she wins nationals, and not be too pleased if she just came to Nationals and left.
It will be a modern history record, but not an all time record.
Joannie has won the Canadian championship 6 times (2005-2010). That is currently a tie with Jennifer Robinson (1996, 1999-2003). Although, Joannie has won it all consecutively.
The all time record is Constance Wilson-Samuel, who won it 9 times. (1924, 1927, 1929-1935)

Well, I agree if she goes for that National title she should compete another year. At least I'd like to see it. Given the opportunities professionally that have and will come her way, tho, I rather doubt she will train really hard, do GP events/Worlds. Still, no announcements yet gives me hope.
She said that she'd make her announcement after the SOI tour was finished. I hope she stays one more year, I don't want her to remain tied with Jen Robinson on National titles.
I wonder if her deal with Birks is an indication she will stay for at least another year. Of course, her current fame and popularity makes her an asset to the company whether she competes or not.
Yeah, there's even a small hope of having Rochette and Phaneuf both on the podium (emphasis on small, if Mao and Yu-Na are there). I don't think Phaneuf and Samson, Lacoste, or Szmiett (or someone else, but those are the most likely choices) can earn three spots considering Samson didn't even make it to the FS at the 2010 Worlds.
Last I heard Joannie plans to continue another couple of seasons and wants to skate in another Olympics. Of course, anything could happen. I hope she does continue because I think she is really hitting her stride now as far as competing goes. I will never forget her brave skate after hearing the news of her mother passing...Oh, Joannie!
If she does continue to the 2014 Olympics, and continues to win Canadian Nationals over the next four years, she will exceed the all time record of Constance Wilson-Samuel.

Panel 8
Beaver and Steve look at the Gazoo-like character.
The Gazoo-like character has the crystal in his hand.
Gazoo-like character: "And to think you travelled all this way to find it! He he! It's kind if funny when you think about it, isn't it?"
Panel 9
A pile of squid is on the floor. Steve is holding the crystal above his head while Beaver looks on angrily.
Beaver: "Come on Steve, it's my turn to use the all-powerful wishing crystal now"
Steve: "I wish for... MORE SQUID!"
Fun Facts
- It looks like the Minotaur from Comic 242 finally got his wish.
- The entirety of this comic appears to be a parody of Dungeons & Dragons and similar fantasy quest role-playing games. Levelling up is common in these types of games.
- Steve appears to use The Force from Star Wars rather than normal magic.
- Steve's "Force Shoe" may be a reference to the Shoe Goblin, unless James just really likes shoes too.
- The Dragonotaur distinctly looks like the shoe goblin...
Beaver's yellow shield is perhaps the shield of Eric the Cavalier from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon.

Original Price: $249.99 Shop all Portable GPS Navigation Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Dominic Devito Make your time behind the wheel count Nobody likes to waste time being lost, so the pros at Magellan developed the feature-rich RoadMate 5255T-LM portable GPS navigator to help you travel more efficiently. Not only does it offer a generous 5" screen and AAA content, but you'll discover that new features like traffic camera alerts and Landmark Guidance are real life savers. Enjoy a handy 5" display The 5255T-LM guides you through maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus 7 million points of interest, on its 5" touch display. Voice prompts announce street names at turns, and lane guidance will ensure that you're in the right place for upcoming maneuvers. Detailed views show you precisely where to go, so you can navigate through complicated intersections. You can choose landscape mode for a better view of the surrounding area, or switch to portrait mode for a more extended view of the road ahead. The Landmark Guidance option gives you spoken directions based on buildings as well as street names. For instance, you'll hear "turn left at the Exxon station at Commonwealth Drive," instead of "Turn left at Commonwealth Drive." You can look out for easy-to-recognize logos and colors rather than hard-to-spot street signs, and pay closer attention to the road ahead. Free lifetime map and traffic updates Don't get slowed down by congestion or out-of-date maps that lead you astray — the 5255T-LM offers free lifetime updates for traffic and maps. You'll get quick feedback on traffic along your route in most metropolitan areas so you can find a better away around the tie-ups, and you'll also get up to four free map updates a year to make sure your navigator stays current. Traffic camera alerts Magellan also includes the PhantomALERT camera alert service with your purchase of the 5255T-LM. You'll receive audible and visual warnings of approaching speed and red-light cameras along your route. For an additional fee, you can receive alerts for known enforcement areas (speed traps), as well as road locations with high accident rates. AAA TourBook listings help you find recommended destinations. Helpful road tips from AAA The included AAA TourBook® features give you instant access to service details and recommended destinations from the leading travel resource. If you're a member, you can quickly access a phone listing for AAA Roadside Assistance™ in case of emergency — you'll also get your exact GPS location so help can find you quickly. More extra features Ever get stuck driving around in a city looking for an open parking lot or garage? The 5255T-LM's "Best Parking" feature quickly shows you nearby garages, along with hours of operation and directions to the entrance. And you'll find that route optimization takes the stress out of running errands by showing you the most efficient way to hit multiple spots on the same excursion. Magellan's OneTouch™ menu lets you save your favorite destinations and searches so you can pull them up without scrolling through multiple screens. You can connect a rear-view camera to the 5255T-LM through its built-in A/V input and use your Magellan's screen to see what's behind you. Magellan does not include a connection cable for the A/V input.

Portable GPS puts you in touch with the world when you're on the road. Tap the restaurant icon, and it asks you what kind of food you're looking for. Type in "Mexican," and you're eating a burrito before you know it. A portable navigator not only gets you to your destination, it can also find museums, theaters, and other spots along the way. Many navigators receive traffic reports, so you can avoid jams. Other cool features range from hands-free calling to 3D graphics and lane guidance. Best of all, you can move a portable easily from car to car, a big plus for multi-car families.
Not Ready for Prime Time Written By FredR, Denver, Colorado on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM I opted for this unit because of the 5" inch screen size (that's all the room I have), the integrated/matched backup camera and the price. The installation went without a hitch. It went downhill from there. I finally uninstalled the system and exchanged it for the Garmin 560LMT. (More about that below). My major disappointments with the 5255-LM 1. Locating the GPS satellites took 2-5 minutes. It also had to intermittently re-acquire the satellite signal on the open road making navigation a nightmare. As a comparison, the Garmin 560LMT had none of those locating problems in the same vehicle and acquired the signal even inside the garage. 2. The back-up camera is simply inferior. Wouldn't you think they'd match a camera with the proper aspect ratio? Instead cars are real wide and people are fat... It also does not offer a distance scale in the image making distance estimation difficult. 3. If you travel anywhere in Mexico, there is currently no map add-on available for this unit. The only pro left is the price. My replacement system (with which I am very happy) is the Garmin 560LMT which offers a camera input that senses if a signal is coming from the camera. The back-up camera that works splendid with the Garmin is a Pyle PLCM18BC (with distance scale) available for around $30. So instead of a poorly performing and ill matched system, I spent about $50 more for an identically size system the performs wonderfully. Pros: price Cons: poor signal acquisition, poorly matched camera
Disappointed in Magellan Roadmate 5255 Written By RG, Silver Spring, MD on Sunday, September 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This review is not a reflection on Crutchfield. The product was delivered in a very timely manner. I am very disappointed in the quality of the product and its display. The contrast is very dim and during the day any little bit of light on the dashboard makes it impossible to see anything on the screen. Had to purchase a visor for the screen (add another $20 to the cost) which helps a little. Pros: display at night is okay. Camera shows nice picture but even then, the speed of the wireless picture skips around. Nothing good to say about any features. Camera is a very nice feature to have and was one of the main reasons for getting this product. However, you have to go very slow when reversing so the picture keeps up with you. Cons: Very disappointed with the overall product. Loved the Garmin that I had for 5 years till it went bad. Got this one for the features like lifetime maps updates and traffic reports. Found out later I needed to buy another hardware item to get the traffic reports.
Nice Product Written By Jim, Central NY on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does everything advertised reasonably well. Pros: Auto on and off is very nice. Lots of POI's . Price is reasonable. Cons: The quality of the backup camera is only so so but usable and replaceable. Light levels are too bright after dark if adjusted high enough for daytime use.
Magellan Roadmate 5255T-LM Written By SueW, Baton Rouge, LA on Monday, June 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was a Father's Day gift. It took only 15 minutes to install and it is very easy to use. The GPS and the backup camera are so great; it was the best gift. It was installed on a truck that is used to pull trailers and boats. The backup camera makes it a breeze to line up perfect every time. Pros: We just installed it because it is a "Father's Day Gift" so we are still checking out all of the featrues. GPS and camera is great and the price is so reasonable! Easy to intall and use! Cons: It works best with the GPS in the middle of the truck. Installed on the left side of the windshield driver's side and the reception kept breaking up with the backup camera. Not a big deal; we just moved it by the rearview mirror and it is good to go.
Magellan Roadmate 5255T-LM: Good unit for the price. Written By CS, DC Metro on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was interested in the 5255T-LM because of the wireless backup camera and the affordable price point. After eight months of use I am satisfied overall with the unit. In September 2012, we installed this unit in a 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD by tapping into the reverse light wiring right at the tail light. The unit can be delayed several seconds before engaging into reverse. The night vision of the camera is almost nonexistent so think of this camera as a daytime park assist device. The wireless frame rate is slow so there is a noticeable stutter, but if you are backing to a wall or parallel parking the camera does fine. The camera has to mount to a license plate and while this is good for ease of installation it limits creative camera placements. I have used Garmin devices for years and this was my first Magellan. On a trip from DC to a small section of New York City, the Magellan responded very well. The unit also performed well in DC / MD / PA / NJ / NY / VA / OH and around Detroit, MI for the 2013 auto show. The voice prompts were often and when needed. The display of road signs mimicking the actual signs on major interstates provides a nice user experience. The user interface is fairly easy to use, yet it could be a little more intuitive. Once you use it a few times it is fine. Crutchfield's description lists lifetime maps as included but I have not been able to sort out how to do it for free via Magellan's Content Manager software (Magellan wants $79). Pros: Frequent voice prompts are helpful in unfamiliar areas; easy to read maps; a thin case with an easy to use windshield mount. This is a good unit with the basic features needed to take vacations and trips to new destinations. Cons: At night, the brightness does not go low enough and in order to eliminate a distractive reflection on the windshield, you will need to either buy or make a hood to block the light emitted from the unit. I would have liked to see longer cables for a cleaner installation; an included hard-wire kit for the vehicle would have been nice. Backup camera nighttime performance is poor but it was a free camera. Windows CE is a bit slow and I had a system failure that required a hard reset.
magellan roadmate 5255t-lm Written By MaeS, Foster, KY on Thursday, May 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Magellan Roadmate 5255t-lm is an excellent gps. The screen is big enough to see and not block your view on your windshield. This gps contains all the features of the more expensive gps's without the big price. I would recommend it to anyone. Pros: Nice size viewing screen. Also like that it informs the driver many times before they need to make the turn. Comes on quickly. Cons: Would like to see more of the viewing area when backing up. Also would like for the picture to be more clear and not have a stretched look.
I would pass on this one Written By Varun, Milwaukee on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not the best GPS i have used,pretty slow to start with.Sometimes the boot up takes more then 2 min. The worst part is the touch screen it's too slow ,wireless camera is not bad but the installation is tricky probably not a DIY ,a night vision would have been a good addition . Pros: wireless camera Cons: slow,non responsive touchscreen
Lackluster Written By ML75, Huntsville on Sunday, May 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am being kind with two stars, giving one star for the GPS and one star for the back up camera. 1+1=2. I cannot believe that a company with a name like Magellan would release a product like this for sale. The GPS is extremely slow to reroute, navigating the menu unfriendly and even brand new out of the box did not recognize a road in TN that has been there for five years (major four lane state hwy). Worst back up camera ever, about a two second delay before the screen would come on, and would occasionally exit out of back up mode while still in reverse. Pros: Good concept. Cons: Poorly executed the good concept.
Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM Written By George C, Bailey, CO on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this unit myself on my 2010 Dodge Ram, which included the backup camera kit. Installing the unit was pretty easy but it took about 6 hours. The vast majority of that time was spent stringing wires and purchasing additional materials to secure the transmitter for the backup camera to the inside of the left hand rear turn signal housing. This probably took a full two hours longer than needed as I tend to be a be of perfectionist. Once installed the GPS worked flawlessly but the operation of the camera left a bit to be desired. The camera often does not come on when the car is placed in reversed or there is a lag of about 3 to 6 seconds even though the signal on the GPS unit shows a solid 5 bars of reception. On ocassion the picture is sometimes lost and takes few seconds for it tro restore itself which could be a problem if using this unit while backing into a tight space. I bought this unit primarily for the backup camera to assist when hooking up my trailer so no big deal if it does not work perfectly but I had hoped it would work better. Pros: GPS works great and I like the traffic features as well as the traffic light camera alerts. Graphics are much improved over my Magellan Maestro unit I purchased in 2007 that this unit has replaced. If I had to rate just the GPS unit I'd give it at least 4 stars. Cons: Should provide a 110V charging adapter as well as carrying case to store the unit in when not in use. Backup camera leave a great deal to be desired. If I had to rate just the backup camera unit I'd give it 2 stars.
Magellan RoadMate 5255T-LM Written By Alma, South Heights, PA on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Not at all happy with this unit. Backup camera does not always connect, especially when I need it the most. The GPS sometimes take ten minutes to find a signal if at all. I can put my smart phone next to it and my phone connects immediately. Well not buy another one and am actually looking for a replacement.
GPS w/camera Written By JJS, Spartanburg, SC on Monday, March 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great, backup camera not very good at night in areas with low light. With my Honda Ridgeline the reverse lights shine to the outside. Still looking for the night driving display mode on the GPS. Adjusting brightness is all I've found so far. Pros: Great GPS. Does not repeat re-calculating. Cons: Display too bright for night driving. There has to be a night and day auto mode. How do I find it? Crutchfield response on Monday, March 11, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.
works for me Written By P, Albuquerque, NM on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this mostly for the wireless camera. It literally took 15 min to install on my '04 Tundra. The camera works fine, with approx. 2sec delay when shifting to reverse. I like the way the camera adjusts and has a very wide view angle. The GPS unit works fine with no issues finding satellites (perhaps our sky is larger than some big city folks'...). Really, I have had no issues with the device. I'm not thrilled with the Magellan software and update process but otherwise I am very pleased with the purchase. Pros: camera, gps features Cons: software
Not a satisfactory navigation system Written By Martha, Vienna, ME on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed the Roadmate on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe - took about 2 hours. As a backup camera it seems adequate. However, as a GPS it is unacceptable. Like other reviewers, we have found it takes a LONG time to connect to the satellites. Next, it puts our address at least 1/4 mile away. For one trip it wanted us to take a woods road (it was a road 50 years ago), but Google Maps also tends to like that road. But the most frustrating thing is that the ETA for every trip we calculate is inaccurate - always at least 15-20 minutes too long. Have had a Garmin for years and it has always been extremely accurate in calculating ETA. I have contacted Magellan to try to get an explanation and although they have been polite and fairly prompt in responding, their reasons for the inaccurate ETA are totally unacceptable (make sure my clock has the accurate time). Probably won't return it since the primary reason for getting the unit is the backup camera. But I will also have my Garmin with me for all major trips. Pros: convenient having backup camera and GPS in one unit. Cons: GPS is not acceptable unit
Crutchfield - A+, Magellan - F Written By Rob L, South Carolina on Friday, December 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Like a previous reviewer, I was also excited about a GPS with an integrated backup camera (I tow a boat with a Tahoe). The backup camera installed in about 15 minutes and the quality was (just) OK in daylight. I did not find a second or two lag time to be a problem. Now... as a navigation unit... that's another story. The user interface was fine - I actually like the address lookup and prompting compared to Garmin's approach. That's about all I can say positive about the GPS functions. The unit is extremely slow to boot up and never took less than three minutes to acquire satellites - often it was ten to fifteen minutes and on more than one occasion the unit never did acquire satellites. (This was mounted on the dashboard under the rather large windshield of the Tahoe with no tall buildings or obscuring trees around.) One of the few times it did find satellites; it wanted to take us about ten miles out of the way to get home from our local Wal-Mart. The unit would accept my street address (in a well-established neighborhood), but there was apparently no street in front of my house. Leaving the house, the instructions would begin with, "Proceed to [my street name] and continue to [the next corner]." The "dashboard" instructions were confusing - for example, if there was a turn in our route five miles ahead, the indicator would show a straight-ahead arrow and 3 miles rather than the turn arrow and five miles. I returned the unit and purchased a Garmin of the same size with th Pros: Backup camera Cons: Everything else
Good idea; needs more work Written By disappointed, Wichita, KS on Friday, November 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had wireless back up cameras and other gps systems in the past, but not all in one unit such as this one. The idea is fantastic but it really needs a little more work. I installed it on a Honda Crosstour (that was a mistake, more than bargained for) since the license plate is on the hatch back, but the backup lights are on rear side panels of the car. Rating the Magellan backup camera; there is quite of a delay (~3 secs) when putting the car in reverse before the view would show up on the gps unit. Plus there are no backup phantom lines within the view, not like that's a big deal. But it would have been nice. The night vision on this camera is horrible; yes I know it doesn't have IR. But at night with the naked eye you can at least see a little bit of my driveway with the street lamps. Through the backup camera, that little bit of light from the street lamp is nonexistent. Rating the Magellan gps unit, I'm not impressed. It takes longer to lock onto satellites when coming out of the garage, a lot longer than my Garmin unit. And the worst of all, the street that I live on is not in the GPS! My street has been there since 2005, and it's still not in the Magellan data base?!?! I didn't have any problems with my Garmin, it showed right up. I called Magellan and they said that it would be added in the next update, but that doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. What are the chances that next time I use this GPS, I would be able to find small streets at all?!?! Pros: one unit for dual purpose. lifetime map & traffic. Cons: map not complete with small streets and backup camera needs to be CCD instead of the cheap CMOS for better night vision capabilities.
Magellan RM5255T-LM Written By stevere1_99, brookhaven, pa on Sunday, October 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This one acts like the 3350 I had, great, not like the Garmin I got. Pros: Major Pro is the ability to cancel individual suggested legs of the route and ease of re-route. Cons: none

National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden has applied for political asylum in Russia, Reuters and The Associated Press reported.
Earlier on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Snowden "must stop his work aimed at harming our American partners" if he wants to stay in the country.
Russian officials have said Snowden is in the transit area of Moscow's international airport.
A former computer security contractor, Snowden acknowledged in a Guardian newspaper interview last month that he leaked classified documents about U.S. surveillance of telephone and Internet traffic.
Snowden's disclosures have fueled new debate about the U.S. government's collection of records of domestic telephone calls and overseas Internet activity in the global hunt for terrorists and criminals.
Civil liberties advocates say the measures are unacceptable intrusions. But supporters say they are legal and have yielded evidence that has helped stop terror plots.

A beautiful, intelligent, loyal girl that has the world at her hands. Lizzi's are very athletic, as well as musically inclined. Lizzi's are God's greatest gift to earth. Not to be confused with the awful Lizzy, or Lizzie, Lizzi's are creative and hillarious. Lizzi's are among the world's most elite.
Man, you're really good at everything! If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were a Lizzi!

...my only problem is how to get more than 60% hydratation with the 00 flour. Every time i have tried it the dough was too sticky
I only have access to "Tipo 00" flour.I'm also waiting for my Ischia cultures, maybe it's working better then
Meatboy, From one DIYer to another, fabulous job on the oven and your pies look wonderful! Wish I could find perlite here in my country.Don
