|Amsterdam, The Netherlands
|Official website
Stage Entertainment is a live entertainment company founded by Dutch media tycoon and theatrical producer, Joop van den Ende and is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It is one of the world's largest theatre producers and owners, with offices and theatres in eight countries (the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, France and Italy). The group produces well-known titles in musical theatre, comprising licensed productions from international partners as well as original, in-company productions.
|This section requires expansion. (December 2014)
Stage Entertainment was established in 1998 by the company's owner and supervisory board president Joop van den Ende after being split off from the Live Entertainment Division of independent television producer Endemol. Stage Entertainment is the largest theatre producer in Europe and owns and licenses productions worldwide. The company has approximately 3,000 employees and owns or operates theaters in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Russia.
In 2001 Stage Entertainment's German subsidiary took over part of the insolvent Stella AG, acquiring in the process many of Stella's productions and theatres, including two Hamburg theatres: the Theater im Hafen and the Neue Flora. Stage Entertainment currently owns and operates or has long-term leases for a portfolio of theatres, of which 11 are in Germany including four in Hamburg.
In December 2014, Stage Entertainment announced that it had acquired Albert Verlinde Entertainment and its subsequent merger with its Dutch subsidiary, Joop van den Ende Theaterproducties. Stage Entertainment International would purchase all of the shares of Albert Verlinde Entertainment and on 1 March 2015, Albert Verlinde would assume the position of managing director at the subsidiary, to be renamed Stage Entertainment Netherlands. Productions that were currently running would continue to run under the banner of their respective companies until the end of the theatre season they opened.[1][2]
With the creation of TopTicketLine in 1990, Stage Entertainment established its own call center for ticket sales. In June 2005, the company's German subsidiary took over Ticket Online, which operated a ticket booking system used by hundreds of ticket agencies in Germany. In 2007, Stage Ticketing International was created—an independent ticketing company comprising all of Stage Entertainment's ticketing activities. In the same year, this new subsidiary acquired See Tickets from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group. Subsequently, all of Stage Entertainment's ticketing activities and companies operated under the name See Tickets. In 2010, See Tickets UK and See Tickets Germany were sold to CTS Eventim.[3] In March 2014, Stage Entertainment sold its ticketing companies in Spain (See Tickets Entradas SA), the Netherlands (See Tickets Nederland BV), and France (Top Tickets France SAS) to CTS Eventim.[4] CTS Eventim also assumed all ticketing activities for Stage Entertainment in Russia, where the group operates two theatres.
In 2000, Stage Entertainment entered into a licencing agreement with Disney Theatrical Productions (Aida, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin). This, together with Stage Entertainment's collaboration in Europe with Littlestar, Mamma Mia!'s production company, enabled the company to expand into Germany, Spain, Russia, France, Italy and the UK.
In 2004, Stage Entertainment entered into joint ownership of the Off-Broadway theatre complex known as Dodger Stages; on 16 March 2006 Stage Entertainment took over sole ownership of the theatre complex, which was then renamed New World Stages. Stage Entertainment sold New World Stages to The Shubert Organization in November 2014.[5]
In 2005 Stage Entertainment along with Dutch dance event organiser ID&T founded the company ID&T Germany, to organise the Sensation White event in Germany. The joint venture was ended in 2006, and ID&T was later acquired by SFX Entertaimnent.
In 2011 Stage Entertainment Touring Productions was created as a new Stage Entertainment division, with Holiday on Ice arena ice shows as the division's main activity.

DEXTER Season 5 Discussion & Spoilers
View Single Post
October 4 2010, 04:33 PM
Location: The Barmuda Triangle
Re: DEXTER Season 5 Discussion & Spoilers
This was pretty much a stopgap episode that took care of some necessary plot points while setting things up for whats to come.
It looks like they are going to brush the bathroom murder aside. I'm OK with that I guess, though I do wish that they'd devoted a few more minutes onscreen to explain how Dexter had covered his tracks.
I liked the scene with Harrison and Dexter in the moving van. Pretty creepy.
In the previews they cut it to look like when Dexter tranquilizes the oildrum guy that he doesn't go down right away. That would be an interesting development. Maybe he has a resistance due to recreational use of animal tranquilizers? I am probably reading something into nothing here.
The LaGuerta-Batista thing is becoming a bit tiresome.

I just finished reading Pulitzer Prize winner David Brion…Continue

A few days ago I completed a particularly distasteful task of reading a book that defended American slavery based on "biblical" evidence and opinion considered to be factual. Trying to read the interminable 590 page tract from a point of neutrality never was a consideration. I expected to read a long list of apologetics, justifications and excuses for the enslavement of other human beings and I was not disappointed.…Continue

NCP Help Desk
Before You Begin
Many colleges use the Noncustodial PROFILE Application in conjunction with the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE Application to help them determine eligibility for institutionally funded need-based aid. These colleges believe strongly that it is the responsibility of both biological/adoptive parents to pay for the student's college expenses, regardless of where the student lives. (Other colleges that require information from the noncustodial parent may require different application forms, including the Noncustodial Parent's Statement.)
The Noncustodial PROFILE Application is designed to support consistent collection of information from the noncustodial parent. The parent completes a single application and the College Board distributes the information to each college that requires it. There is a standard fee of $25 for this service payable by credit or debit card. Fee waivers are awarded automatically to parents with very low income and few assets.
The noncustodial parent's information is kept secure, and is shared only with the colleges authorized by the student to receive it. Neither the student nor the custodial parent has access to the noncustodial parent's information unless the noncustodial parent chooses to share his or her password. (For more information on security, choose "Security" from the Help Topics above.)
If you live in one of the following countries, do not complete this application. Please have your son or daughter contact the colleges and universities he or she is applying to that require the Noncustodial PROFILE for guidance on how to complete this requirement: Benin, Cameroon, Cuba, Ghana, Iran, Nigeria, North Korea, Sudan, and Togo.
The Noncustodial PROFILE Process - Step-By-Step
- Download the Instructions and Pre-Application Worksheet from the Home Page. Most applicants find that completing the Pre-Application Worksheet speeds up the online process considerably.
- Sign in to the NCP Application using your son's or daughter's CSS ID and the initial password that he or she received in his or her online acknowledgment and email, or you received in the notification email.
- Create a new password as part of the initial sign in process. By changing the password, you can ensure that your information will remain secure.
- Complete the Noncustodial PROFILE Application using your completed Pre-Application Worksheet and the navigation and completion tips below. Help for specific questions can be found by clicking each question's Help button, by using the Search Help feature, and by reviewing information in the Help Desk.
- Review your completed application by clicking on "Print/Review Application." Once you have submitted your application, you cannot change any of the data you have provided.
- Submit your completed application. The submit process will prompt you to complete any required fields that you have left blank and will note any possible discrepancies in the information you provided.
- Complete the payment process. A valid credit or debit card is required. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. When you click submit at the end of this process, you are submitting your payment and application information for processing.
- Print or save your Noncustodial PROFILE Acknowledgment for your records.
Navigating the Application
- At the top of each application screen you will see the letters A through J. Clicking on a letter links you directly to that section of the application. Hovering over the letter will tell you the name of the section.
- You can save the information you provide as you complete the application; you do not need to complete the entire application at one time. Your information is saved each time you click "Save," "Save & Continue," or click on another section. If you want to log out of your application in the middle of a section and return to your application later, click "Save & Exit" to leave.
- At any time, you can print or download a copy of the information that you have entered by clicking "Review Full Application" at the top or bottom of any application screen.
- Do not use your browser's "Back" and "Forward" buttons to move through your application. Only use the buttons within the application such as "Previous" and "Save & Continue" because the application's buttons will save your information as you move through the application, but your browser's buttons will not.
Completing the Application
- If 2013 actual income and expense figures are not available, estimate as best you can. See the Help Desk for more information on estimating, including tips, draft U.S. federal income tax forms, and a U.S. federal income tax line reference table.
- Do not enter a comma (,) or cents in a dollar field. Round to the nearest dollar.
- In non-dollar fields (e.g. telephone number), do not enter hyphens, parentheses, or spaces.
- If a financial question (income, assets, or expenses), does not apply, enter a zero (0). Do not leave it blank unless specifically instructed otherwise. Non-financial questions (e.g. a year, a name) should be left blank if they do not apply.
- Keep your child's CSS ID and your current password available to return to your application.
- Your application will be considered on time if you submit your Noncustodial PROFILE by midnight Eastern Time of your son's or daughter's earliest priority filing date.
Gather the Information below before Filling Out the Application
- 2013 federal income tax return, if completed
- 2012 federal income tax return
- W-2 forms and other records of money earned in 2013
- Records of untaxed income and benefits for 2012 and 2013
- Current bank statements
- Current mortgage information
- Records of savings, stocks, bonds, trusts, and other investments
If a tax return won't be filed: Even if you, and your spouse if married, will not file an income tax return for 2013, it will be necessary to know your earnings for the year. Also, records documenting the income reported on the Noncustodial PROFILE will very likely be needed by your child's colleges and programs.
If a tax return has not been completed yet: If you, and your spouse if married, haven't completed a 2013 federal income tax return but will be filing one, it is recommended that one be completed before you fill out the Noncustodial PROFILE Application. However, if your child's colleges or programs have an early priority filing date and completing the tax return is not possible, estimate 2013 income and benefits using income and tax records from 2012 in addition to salary and other records from 2013. If you need to correct Noncustodial PROFILE information after filing the tax return, do so directly with the student's colleges and scholarship programs.
International ApplicantsIf your country's tax year does not follow the calendar year you should collect the information listed above for your country's last tax year that ended or will end before April 1, 2014, and the year previous to that. If, for example, your country's tax year runs from April 1 to March 31, collect the information for the tax year that ended or will end March 31, 2014 and the tax year that ended March 31, 2013. If your country's tax year runs from July 1 to June 30, collect the information for the tax year that ended June 30, 2013 and the tax year that ended June 30, 2012.
Throughout this application, wherever you are asked for information from 2013, report information from your country's last tax year that ended or will end before March 31, 2014.
You must complete the application in U.S. dollars and text questions must be answered in English using standard American keyboard. Umlauts, tildes, or similar characters not found on a standard American keyboard characters: letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9) and punctuation (.,:;-'?!$@%#=) may cause processing problems.

VISTA: Council to weigh more land purchases, fee hikes
Vista's redevelopment agency is set to open its checkbook again Tuesday as the city considers whether to spend $1.6 million to buy two downtown properties, including the American Legion Post 365 on South Santa Fe Avenue.
The property purchases ---- the Legion's hall at 321 S. Santa Fe Ave. and another parcel that stretches from 123 to 219 S. Santa Fe Ave. ----- will probably be approved at Tuesday's City Council meeting without any discussion.
The land buys would be the latest in a string of real estate purchases made by the city over the last several months. Since October, the city has spent about $29 million on nine properties, including four North County Ford parcels along West Vista Way and the former Circuit City warehouse off of Highway 78.
At Tuesday's meeting, the council will also consider a variety of fee hikes, including increases in the trash fees, building fees and recreation fees. The meeting is at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 600 Eucalyptus Ave.
For the downtown property purchases, the city would pay $1 million for the larger downtown parcel adjacent to Vista Village and across the street from Sonic Drive-In. The property, owned by Cunningham Inland LLC, is almost 16,000 square feet and is composed of three buildings.
Vista Redevelopment Director Bill Rawlings said there is no specific use in mind for the property but it will be developed as part of the city's vision for a mixed-use, destination oriented, pedestrian and transit friendly downtown district.
"This is just yet another piece of property to put forward the Paseo Santa Fe (corridor) development," Rawlings said Friday.
The agency may spend $640,000 to buy the American Legion headquarters at 321 S. Santa Fe Ave. Under the proposed deal, the city would also loan the American Legion about $360,000 to buy a new site at 1234 S. Santa Fe.
The Legion would only need to pay the agency back if it moved to another location or ceases its nonprofit use of the building.
"The city and the redevelopment agency has an interest in helping the Legion continue to be a positive presence in the city," Rawlings said.
In other business, the council will hold a public hearing to debate raising building fees for residents working on small projects such as room additions, patios and utility connections, and decreasing fees for larger projects.
The fee for a 500-square-foot residential addition would increase from $884 to $1,361 under the proposal.
In a report, city staff said the increased building fees could generate about $235,000 in an average year.
The city will also hold a public hearing to discuss increasing the franchise fees it collects from EDCO Disposal Corp.
The company now pays the city a fee of 5 percent of its gross revenues from city waste collections. City officials have proposed increasing the fee by 3 percent over the next two years.
According to the city report, the increase would cause residential users' bills to increase by less than $1 by July 2011 and commercial users' bills to increase by about $2 to $25 by July 2011, depending on how much and how often waste is collected.

One of the higher profile end-of-days-themed events from Friday was At World's End, the electronic music dance party at Dena'ina Center. Part of the audiovisual show included a giant pyramid structure and 3-D projection.
All this fit into the Mayan apocalypse theme that ran through the evening, including a story told incorporating the massive set design. "The event featured several distinct 'epochs' as we told the story of life's origination, its evolution, the rise and fall of mankind, and brought the audience to the apocalypse and beyond," wrote event organizer Mike Mason of concert promoter A Dose of Know-How. "We used coordinated audio and visual cues and created what amounts to a theatrical production designed for EDM [electronic dance music]."
Mason passed along these photos from Twisted Mind Photography and Clearwater Productions.

Pay for Media Coordinators in the United States is very modest at just $36K per year. Overall incomes of Media Coordinators generally bottom out at around $28K and peak near $48K; the final number can, in exceptional cases, include upwards of $3K each for bonuses and profit sharing proceeds. Career duration and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. For the most part, Media Coordinators enjoy their work and report high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to a large number, and more than half earn dental coverage. Most Media Coordinators survey respondents are women (70 percent). The information for this snapshot was generated by responses to the PayScale salary survey.

A media coordinator is in charge of creating media such as commercials, digital marketing, and website to educate the public on their company and its products and/or services. This may be a leadership position in which the coordinator is in charge of organizing and delegating tasks. Tasks performed by the media coordinator may include creating marketing materials to build and retain their company's customer base, researching media opportunities and technology, and ensuring the media developed is effective and fits the needs of its target audience and stakeholders.Read More...
When the company is large enough to create commercials, the media coordinator may be in charge of creating scripts and coordinating with relevant parties to produce these advertisements. Media coordinators must follow all company guidelines and meet any applicable deadlines; additionally, they must ensure their projects fit within designated budgets. Recordkeeping is essential in this job, as expenses, equipment used, and other pertinent information related to media creation must be logged.
Generally a bachelor's degree and relevant experience are required for this role. Advanced computer skills are often necessary, as the media coordinator might be tasked with a hands-on role in creating commercials and other media. They might also have to be familiar with analytics to examine their media products' effectiveness.
Survey results show that Media Coordinators use a fair number of skills. Most notably, skills in Project Management, Microsoft Excel, Media Management, and Media / Public Relations are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 3 percent and 11 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Graphic Design and Advertising. Most people skilled in Media / Public Relations are similarly competent in Media Management and Video Editing.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience have a median salary of $35K. Those who have been around for five to 10 years can expect to take home more — $39K on average. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $39K in this role. Old hands who claim more than two decades on the job enjoy average earnings of $52K.

Fun for Hamsters, Gerbils and You! Qute is a brand new type of small animal home. Designed around you and your pet it's the perfect way to enjoy all the benefits of owning a pet safe in the knowledge that you are also providing an ideal home for your critter. The large, deep bedding tray allows your Gerbils and Hamsters to nest and burrow just like they would in nature. The deep bedding tray is made from virtually unbreakable polycarbonate and is crystal clear so you and your pets have the perfect view of each other.
The 1-Minute-Clean: Cleaning your Qute is amazingly quick and simple. To clean the Qute you lock your pets in the upstairs compartment using the Lift n' Twist tube. You can then empty the bedding tray into the bin. You then wipe the tray clean with a pet safe disinfectant and refill with fresh bedding and replace. We have timed it and the whole job can be completed in less than a minute - hence we call it the 1-Minute-Clean. Unlike a normal cage, you can keep your pets securely inside the Qute while you clean it.
Easy to Handle: Qute makes it really easy to spend time and play with your hamster or gerbils. It's great fun to take your pets with you to another room, so the handy bedding tray doubles as a mobile play station. Just Lift n' Twist the tube, slide out the tray and you never have to leave your pets in the same room again.
Draught-Free Ventilation:The top mesh section and bedding tray provides draught-free ventilation for keeping your hamsters and gerbils healthy and happy.
Designed for the Home: Designed like a piece of contemporary furniture, Qute is more than just a hamster cage. It's the perfect size to be used as a side table in your living room, kitchen or children's bedroom. Unlike a normal hamster cage, you'll want to put Qute on display.
Easy to Access: Occasionally you may want to give your Qute a really deep clean. You can do this by releasing the front wire panel and removing the floor, tube, wheel and food and water containers. You can use the bedding tray to hold your pets while you do this - just remember to flip the front mesh panel back to prevent them from climbing out.
Free Extras: The complete package of your Qute comes with the water bottle, exercise wheel and feeding bowl.

Gifts of Cash — Contributions made with cash, checks, or credit cards are the easiest and most popular methods of giving. VISA, MC, AMEX, Discover cards accepted.
Matching Gifts — Many companies have programs that will match your gift to the Abilities Foundation on a dollar-for-dollar (or more) basis. Check to see if your employer, or company from which you have retired, participates.
Memorial Gifts — A wonderful way to pay tribute to a deceased relative or friend. These gifts are often made in lieu of flowers, or as a special remembrance. Families of honorees receive notification of your gift.
Commemorative Gifts — Why not commemorate a birthday, holiday, anniversary, or graduation with a gift in honor of a loved one? Won't people be surprised when they receive a letter from us advising them of your admiration?

To make a contribution by mail, please make your check payable to the Abilities Foundation and forward to Mr. Frank De Lucia, Abilities Foundation, 2735 Whitney Road, Clearwater, FL 33760-1610, or call 727-538-7370, Ext. 345.
Tax-wise planning
Year-end gifts of
cash vs. stocks
hope you'll consider a year-end gift to the Foundation. Gifts of cash are fully
deductible up to a maximum of 50% of your adjusted gross income. And we always
welcome cash contributions. However, if you donate stocks or other assets that
have gone up in value and you've owned them for longer than 12 months, it's
generally more beneficial to contribute stocks than cash. This is because a
gift of appreciated stock offers a two-fold tax-savings: first, you avoid
paying any capital-gains tax on the increase in value of the stock; second, you
receive an income-tax charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of
the stock at the time of the gift.
Do you need a will?
conversations with friends of the Foundation, we've learned that many do not
have a will, or they have a will that hasn't been updated for a number of years
and does not reflect their present wishes and circumstances. Do you need a
will? Is it important that it is current? The answers are a definite YES! If
you wish what you have accumulated will be distributed as you desire, and not
as someone else, usually the state, determines, you must have a current will.
The answer is also a definite YES if you wish to avoid problems for your heirs
and save on costs. And the answer is also a definite YES if you wish to include
a bequest — which we hope you do — to help the Abilities Foundation or another
favorite charity. A bequest has been rightly called the 'The Last Act of
Stewardship,' as it is a final opportunity to express thanks for the many gifts
we've received throughout our lifetime. Please be certain to seek the advice of
your attorney and tax advisor when planning how your assets will be
distributed. And as you create or revise your will, kindly keep the Abilities
Foundation in mind. There are many ways to ensure that you provide for your
family and loved ones AND help to further our mission to improve the lives and
families of Floridians with disabilities.
Giving through memorials
gifts to the Foundation are a wonderful way to pay tribute to a deceased
relative or friend. Often made in lieu of flowers or as a special remembrance,
these thoughtful gestures underscore your support of our mission. Why not
commemorate as well, a birthday, holiday, anniversary, or graduation with a
tax-deductible gift in honor of a loved one? Won't people be surprised when
they receive a letter from us advising them of your generosity and admiration?
Use corporate matching gift programs
president Dan Mettee took our corporate matching gift advice to heart. As a
retired Levi Strauss executive, Dan inquired about matching gifts and was told
that his volunteer hours might quality. He submitted an application based on
the number of hours he logged for the Abilities Guild last year. Shortly
thereafter, the Abilities Foundation received a $1,600 contribution from the
Levi Strauss Foundation in recognition of Dan's volunteerism! "I really
didn't know what to expect," he said, "but I was so pleased they
acknowledged my support of the Guild." Many thanks to Dan for pursuing
this wonderful opportunity. Insofar as many corporations match charitable
contributions, we strongly encourage you and your spouse to inquire with your
current employer or company from which you've retired. A dollar-for-dollar
match or gift in recognition of your volunteerism is a quick and painless way
to support our work. Call Frank De Lucia at 727-600-8900 for more information
and a list of corporations with matching gift programs.
Help with planning
for issues related to aging
of us are or have relatives who are at a point in life when it becomes
necessary to plan for or deal with issues related to the aging process, such as
illness, incapacity, assisted living, nursing homes, Medicaid, and asset
preservation. These issues can be complex and often require the aid of
professional advisors. The Foundation has assembled a group of professionals
who can be a resource to you and your family when you encounter such needs.
Elder law attorney Sean A. Scott is a member of our advisory council. To attend
any of his free lectures on issues related to aging call 727-539-0181.
Community Contributions Tax Credit
corporate taxpayers who help our Homes For Independence program acquire or
improve residences for Floridians with disabilities classified as having low
income may qualify for the Community Contributions Tax Credit, which, when
combined with state and federal income-tax deductions, can reduce the after-tax
cost of their donations to 29¢ on the dollar! Sounds too good to be true, but
isn't. A brief application that we complete and submit does it all. Among those
who've utilized the credits are Raymond James, Tech Data, and Jim's
Harley-Davidson. To support affordable, accessible housing and take advantage
of this extraordinary tax incentive, call Frank De Lucia at 727-600-8900 for
Philanthropy through life insurance
tax-wise method of support of the Foundation is a gift of life insurance, which
may be an option for people who no longer need the financial protection of an
existing policy. Assigning a life insurance policy to or designating the
Abilities Foundation as charitable beneficiary is an easy way to make a
substantial gift without reducing current assets. Also, you may qualify for an
immediate income-tax deduction. For more information, consult your tax advisor
or call 727-538-600-8900 and seek the guidance of professionals on the
Foundation's Planned Giving Advisory Council.
Join the Foundation's planned giving advisory council
The Foundation is inviting professionals to join the advisory council that helps
guide and direct its planned giving outreach. We are seeking trust officers,
CPAs, certified financial planners, life and long-term care insurance
specialists, bankers, attorneys specializing in estate planning, wills and
trusts, taxation, and elder law, and others professionals willing to assist us
in this important initiative. Advisors will help write or select planned giving
articles and brochures; host seminars on wills, trusts, gift annuities, elder
life issues; ensure that outreach is accurate and consistent with industry and
ethical standards; and serve as resources to donors seeking professional advice
and fee-based services. Only with the experience and expertise of planned
giving professionals can we continue to alert benefactors to methods by which
tax-wise support of our mission can help them achieve their estate planning
objectives and provide for the Foundation. For more information on a
substantive volunteer opportunity, call Frank De Lucia at 727-600-8900.
Ease a veteran's transition from homelessness to apartment life with a
tax-deductible gift
An alarming number of disabled veterans are homeless or living in substandard
housing. Even after veterans qualify for subsidized housing assistance from the
VA, most don't have basic essentials like coffeemakers, crock pots, pots 'n
pans, dishes, linens, and towels. Unwilling to accept this reality, the
Abilities Guild established the Veterans Mall, a large storeroom of household
items given for free to disabled veterans and their families. To date, 172
veterans have been served, but the demand for items far outweighs the supply.
Kindly consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the Foundation. Your
gift will be used to purchase kitchen and bath essentials at discount prices
and ensure that veterans will have the basics they need to a successful
transition to community life.
Avoid becoming a victim of identity theft
theft occurs when someone uses another's personal information without their
permission to commit fraud or other crimes using the victim's name, Social
Security number, or other identifying information. When it comes to federal
income taxes, taxpayers may not be aware they have become victims of identity
theft until they receive a letter from the IRS stating more than one tax return
was filed with their information or that IRS records show wages from an
employer the taxpayer has not worked for in the past. Recent accounts in the
news underscore just how difficult it can be to rectify the situation with the
IRS, banks, and credit card companies.
Is your will up-to-date?
A properly executed will is an essential part of your estate plan. If you have a
will, and you certainly should, it's important to review it periodically to
ensure it accurately reflects your current circumstances and wishes,
particularly if your financial or personal situation has changed. Occurrences
that might necessitate a change in your will include marriage, divorce, new
children, death or incapacitation of a beneficiary or personal representative,
moving out of state, reverse of financial fortune, or tax law revisions. It is
advisable to have an attorney competent in developing and executing estate
plans prepare or revise your will. For information on how to provide for your
loved ones and the Abilities Foundation through your will or bequest, contact
Frank De Lucia at 727-600-8900.
Matching gifts can double your donation!
companies, Johnson & Johnson for example, have programs that will match
your gift to the Abilities Foundation on a dollar-for-dollar (or more) basis.
Employees, retirees, or spouses may qualify. When you contribute to the
Foundation, ask if your employer or company from which you've retired
participates. The process is simple. Advise them that you've made a donation to
the Abilities Foundation, 2735 Whitney Road, Clearwater, FL 33760. The company
will ask us to verify your gift by mail or online and will send us a matching
donation. Call Frank De Lucia at 727-600-8900 for a list of companies that
match gifts. Some employers, like Levi Strauss, will even donate to us in
recognition of your volunteer hours!
Editor's Note:

When preparing to file your federal tax return, don't forget your contributions to charitable organizations. Your donations could add up to a sizeable tax deduction if you itemize on IRS Form 1040, Schedule A. Here are a few tips from to ensure your contributions pay off on your tax return:
1. Contributions must be made to qualified organizations to be deductible. You cannot deduct contributions made to specific individuals, political organizations and candidates.
2. You cannot deduct the value of your time or services, nor can you deduct the cost of drawings, bingo, or other games of chance.
3. If your contributions entitle you to merchandise, goods or services, including admission to a charity ball, banquet, theatrical performance or sporting event, you can deduct only the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit received.
4. Donations of stock or other property are usually valued at the fair market value of the property. Special rules apply to donation of vehicles.
5. Clothing and household items donated must generally be in good used condition or better to be deductible.
6. Regardless of the amount, to deduct a contribution of cash, check, or other monetary gift, you must maintain a bank record or a written communication from the organization containing the name of the organization, the date of the contribution and amount of the contribution.
7. To claim a deduction for contributions of cash or property equaling $250 or more you must obtain a written acknowledgment from the qualified organization showing the amount of the cash and a description of any property contributed, and whether the organization provided any goods or services in exchange for the gift. One document from the organization may satisfy both the written communication requirement for monetary gifts and the written acknowledgement requirement for all contributions of $250 or more.
8. If you claim a deduction of more than $500 for all contributed property, you must attach IRS Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, to your return.
9. Taxpayers donating an item or a group of similar items valued at more than $5,000 must also complete Section B of Form 8283, which requires an appraisal by a qualified appraiser.
For more information on charitable contributions, check out Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, which is available at IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Pazo restaurant's Patricia Yeo is hip to the Tuscan tradition of cooking chicken under a brick. Weighing down the meat keeps its surface in contact with the pan, making a crispy outside with little fat. She also coats it with a North African spice combo called ras el hanout. The result? A funky, multicultural and healthy way to goose up your chicken.
YIELD: Makes 2 servings
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, mix all spice mixture ingredients. Dust chicken with spice mix (store extra in a glass jar); sprinkle with salt and pepper. Coat a cast-iron frying pan or ovenproof sauté pan with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium-high heat 1 minute. Place chicken skin side down in the pan. Rest a heavy weight such as a foil-wrapped brick on top. (Or use another heavy ovenproof skillet or pan to keep skin of chicken in contact with the hot pan.) Lower heat; cook 6 minutes. Put the pan, weight and all, in the oven and cook 8 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired, and asparagus or a seasonal green.

Deep mahogany-red surfaces with a flat, mattelike finish that characterize the bronzed proof pieces. The strike is excellent, save for a few of the stars that are flat. Some faint hairlines and other insignificant marks are evident on each side, but they are of little concern. We are unable to determine a prior pedigree for this piece, and we note these characteristics that may help in pedigree research: a small spot in the hair vertically above the R in LIBERTY and a faded spot between the E and R of AMERICA.

Welcome back to the Bugs & Cranks Top 30 for Week 18 of the season. If you've come looking for insight and intelligence, you've couldn't possibly have come to a more righter place.
After the quasi-hiatus of last week's advice week special, the team of David Chalk, Steve Hulkower, Spencer Kyte, and Robotto Clemente have gotten back to business as usual. Our business, for those of you just joining us, is the nearly infallible ranking of all 30 MLB teams (hence, Top 30), presented with the funniest crap about each team that we could think of without getting cramps in the summer heat.
I would love to hear the justification for Sunrays over Angels – from someone other than Chalk. I doubt there is anyone, because no logical person would have put them up there.
"presented with the funniest crap about each team that we could think of without getting cramps in the summer heat."
Never mind. I get it now. It was meant as a joke.
Ah thats much better. I can chuckle again. Stupid Barry Bonds week last week.
much better insight (nonsense) and intelligence (Funny S*it) this week
Adam C, thank you for your inquiry. Your objection does not compute. I will attempt to explain in as simple a way as my programming allows. Tampa — toughest strength of schedule of any contending team. Tampa — 4-2 this year head-to-head with the Angels. Tampa — plays in a division with the Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays; Angels — in a division with the A's, Rangers, and Mariners. Logical.

The Isetta Was Almost Reborn In 1980s Brazil
I'm someone who knows a lot about certain kinds of weird cars. That's not bragging, it's just what I love. Occasionally, though, I come across some bit of information that makes me remember just how incredibly, lavishly ignorant I really am. Things like the Diaseta, the attempted '80s Isetta revival. »

Expert review of Tiandi Yijia
I'd cycled past this place dozens of times and always assumed it was a private government club due to the shifty, suited bodyguard types outside. It's not – rather it's a singular, luxurious Chinese dining experience for anyone who can afford it.
Creative Imperial and Chinese fare that mixes classical traditions and techniques with unusual ingredient combinations. Try the foie gras with sake and the lao Beijing style appetizers.
Beautiful, under-lit environment, though it's so expansive it can feel a little empty on quiet nights.
Accomplished and ever so slightly snooty - unsurprising for a place that takes itself so seriously.
Close to the southeast corner of the Forbidden City.
High end prices, especially the wine list.

After watching this video you'll realize two things: 1) Americans really do say the stupidest things, and 2) Jay Leno and those other *wacky* man on the street comedians don't do nearly enough to berate them when they do. Thats why it's great to see Brian Huskey take it to the next level.
SIZZLER: Jen Will Become Prettier Than Angelina, Even If It Takes All the Plastic Surgery In the World
How does an independent, fabulous movie actress celebrate fake lesbian kissing one of her friends on TV for attention? According to Us Weekly, Jennifer Anistion followed up her Courtney Cox-Arquette make-out sesh with a little trip to plastic surgeon:
The actress emerged four hours later, but instead of her usual golden glow, she sported fresh black-and-blue bruises along her right eyebrow and across the tip of her nose and upper lip.
Aniston's rep confirms the operation. "Jennifer had a procedure done to correct a deviated septum that was incorrectly done over 12 years ago,†he tells Us Weekly.
Some people enjoy a post-coital cigaratte, while others enjoy having their nose broken and face cut with a knife. It takes all kinds. Anyway, at lest she can check "busted schnozz" off her list of things she has to fix to be prettier than Angelina Jolie. Next up, pumping a bunch of cow cartilage into her lips with a tiny hose in order to achive that pillowy, sensual smile.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" In Reverse Finally Sheds Some Light On How Kurt Cobain Really Feels
Hey mannnnnnn, have you ever, like, played "Stairway To Heaven" backwards man? There are, like, so many satanic messages in it man. It like, completely bugs me out. That's why this YouTube video of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in reverse is like, totally freaky. I mean, it scares the hell out of me man. Not because it reveals how tortured and bruised Kurt really was, but because it means some dude took the time to repeatedly play this in reverse and transcribe what he heard. Trippy, man.

Drunk Rachael Ray Less Annoying Than Actual Rachel Ray
It's no secret round these parts that we are not exactly fond of television host/chef/gargoyle Rachael Ray. And if you were to have asked us, the idea of hanging around with the girl drunk sounded about as pleasant as falling asleep on a bed of halogen lamps. But according to a source at TMZ (whose headline, "Racial Ray", made us momentarily give up puns), drunk Rachel Ray is actually a serious nightmare bitch on wheels, also known as delightfully entertaining. To wit:
We're told Ray became "extremely loud and aggressive," and began dissing Oprah. Sources say she told the group about a portrait of Oprah that sits in the lobby of Harpo Productions in Chicago. It's from the movie "Beloved" and shows Winfrey's back, enhanced with scars. She's also wearing a skirt from the slavery era. Back at the table, sources say Ray launched into attack mode: "Why is she wearing slave drag? She obviously has problems being black."
But Oprah wasn't Ray's only target. Sources say she told the group how much she liked Jennifer Aniston and then called Brad Pitt a "pussy boy." But her harshest comments were reserved for Angelina Jolie, calling her "a skanky, backdoor c**t."
She's Team Aniston? That so figures. Nevertheless, sounds like Ray really cuts loose on the sauce… one more Jaeger and she'd probably shoot a blow dart in the waitresses neck, rip her heart out Mortal Kombat style, and swallow it whole without batting an eyelash. We wonder what Oprah will think of all this… but considering she's the reason I can't turn on ABC between 10 to 11 am, maybe she actually deserves this one.
AD WIZARDS: McDonald's Subliminally Trying to Trick Us Into Thinking Their Food Does't Suck
During last week's episode of Iron Chef America, if your fantasies of sucking down some of Masaharu Morimoto's pickled beet sushi were inexplicably replaced by a craving for a steaming pile of hot garbage, it might have something to do with the McDonald's ad that was subliminally placed in the show. The video below depicts a person showing, frame by frame, where the ad was placed. I TiVo'd the show myself to double-check, and sure enough it was there – a single frame of red and yellow Mickey D's "I'm Lovin' It" (who also happens to have sponsored that episode) trying to trick us into associating their processed product with mouthwatering cuisine. Tune in to kitchen stadium next week for Iron Chef Batali vs. Chef Colonel Sanders in Battle Chicken Product.

Fact of Life #145: We All Eventually Lose Our Minds
Youtube videos are getting incredibly fabulous, old, and crazy, you guys. Yesterday, we alerted you to an golden oldish clip of Liza Minnelli on Larry King. Then today, Defamer gets hold on an interview where Charlotte Rae, aka Mrs. Garrett, goes ahead and calls Joan Collins (no relation) a bitch — while attending the premiere of Ms. Collins' play! What kind of a lesson is that to Tootie and the girls? Thank goodness Joan had absolutely no f**king clue who the hell Charlotte Rae is, or it would've been another awkward "Hello, 911? Yes, Joan has blood coming out of her eyes again" phone call. Fans of all things fabulous, enjoy.
