Practical corporation tax advice on disposal of trade
Posted by jonkaye PM | on Thu, 24/05/2012 - 21:03 1167 5 comments | report
A limited company operated a trade as a retail seller of ladies clothing from leasehold shop premises. The company's normal accounting reference date is 31 December.
On 18 August 2011 the company sold the business and received payment for goodwill, leasehold, stock and fixtures.
The company has a further leasehold interest in office accommodation, which some years ago became surplus to its own requirements. These premises are sublet, rent receivable being exactly equal to rent payable.
My questions are as follows:
- In calculating the company's profits chargeable to corporation tax, do I need to do so for the period 1 January to 18 August 2011, treating the latter date as the end of a corporation tax accounting period, because of the disposal of the retail trade on that date?
- If that is the case and the company's accounting date remains 31 December, another corporation tax accounting period would presumably have started on 19 August and ended on 31 December 2011. I assume that during this period, and in future years, the company is a close investment company, since its only source of income is rent receivable from the sublet.
- Assuming that the above is correct, i.e. that there are two separate corporation tax accounting periods, is there a practical way to divide income and expenditure between the two periods? Clearly all retail sales, costs of sales and leasehold shop costs would be included in the period to 18 August, but would it be acceptable to divide rent receivable and all other overhead expenses between the two periods on a time-apportionment basis?
- Am I missing anything else?!!!
Many thanks for any guidance and assistance.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
30 Oct 2013 19:41 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt
Egyptian authorities have detained senior Muslim Brotherhood leader Essam el-Arian, the latest arrest in a government crackdown against the Islamist movement, an Interior Ministry source said.
Arian, the deputy leader of the Brotherhood-linked Freedom and Justice party, was taken into custody from a residence in New Cairo where he had been in hiding.
"Yes, he's been arrested and details will soon be released," the source told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday.
The state news agency MENA said Arian was arrested in New Cairo but gave no further details.
Local media circulated a photograph of what they described as the moment he was arrested, showing a smiling Arian standing next to a bed with two packed duffle bags.
Many Brotherhood leaders have been detained and charged with inciting violence since the army, prompted by mass protests, deposed president Mohamed Morsi on July 3.
On Wednesday afternoon, students at al-Azhar university protested el-Arian's arrest.
The students besieged offices, hurled chairs and smashed windows, according to a report by Reuters news agency.
"Sisi is a dog. Down, down with the lord of the army," one protester scribbled, refering to army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the overthrow of Morsi.
One police officer yelled: "Arrest anyone you see. Bring me those kids. If you see anyone just arrest them right away."
Mustafa el-Agrawi, al-Azhar's legal adviser, told the ONTV private channel that the students besieged the administrative building, locking up the university chief and several other administrators.
Ahmed Hosni, deputy head of al-Azhar, said the students stormed the offices, trashed documents and computers to "sabotage and destroy the university".
The head of al-Azhar university had called on the police to enter campus grounds to "protect souls and properties", according to an interior ministry statement.
Egyptian security forces fired tear gas at the protestors and arrested 20 protesters, according to two security sources.

In Silk and Feathers Jo Weldon teaches three fan dance routines - with beautiful small marabou fans, glamourous veil fans, and with fabulous and sophisticated large ostrich fans. The dances are set to classic burlesque music and use a wide array of movement, poses, and techniques from the distinctive vocabulary of burlesque fan dance.
Each routine is carefully constructed for beginners, with precise movement and repetitions to build skills specific to this unique art. You will learn all the basics of burlesque fan dance, enhance the grace and poise of your movement, and expand your musicality and acting skills as the dances take you from sensuality to playfulness, and from a grand-diva stance to naughtiness.
Jo Weldon demonstrates three fan dances and teaches them step-by-step. The focus of Jo's instruction is on manipulating the fans, and the art of revealing, concealing, and framing. You can incorporate these routines as burlesque into a striptease act, or perform them as visual spectacles without striptease. A special section of the program offers you tips and techniques for performing striptease behind the large ostrich fans during your fan dance act.
Jo explains hand and arm positions and the concept of leading in minute detail: These are the most vital elements of the fan dance skill. She also shares suggestions on expressivity, and on projecting the joy, humor, and sensuality that will make your burlesque dance an unforgettable experience for your audience.

PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF ACRYLONITRILE Filed April 27, 1966 United States Patent 3,462,477 PROCESS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF ACRYLONITRILE Giorgio Caporali, Giuseppe Barberis, Natale Ferlazzo, and
Vittorio Penzo, Milan, Italy, assignors to Montecatini- Edison, S.p.A., Milan, Italy Filed Apr. 27, 1966, Ser. No. 545,618 Claims priority application ltaly, May 4, 1965, 10,029/65 Int. Cl. Ctl7c 121/32, 121/02 US. Cl. 260-4653 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a process for the purification of acrylonitrile, and, more particularly, it relates to a process for the removal of acrolein from crude acrylonitrile via a heat treatment thereof in an aqueous medium.
Acrylonitrile produced by catalytic reaction of propylene, ammonia and oxygen in gaseous phase is known to be accompanied by the by-production of various impurities, the amount of which impurities being directly pro portional to reaction conditions and particular catalysts employed.
Among these impurities there may be mentioned, in decreasing order of quantities present, hydrocyanic acid, acetonitrile, acrolein, acetone, acetaldehyde, and other minor by-products in lesser amounts.
For the purification of acrylonitrile, and particularly the removal of acrolein therefrom, many and varied processes are known in the art, which processes all have for their object purification of acrylonitrile to a degree suitable for polymerization, and, in particular, for the production of fibers.
It is known to remove acrolein from acrylonitrile via distillation in the optional presence of water, or after having converted the acrolein, a volatile product, into its cyanohydrin, which is a product of low volatility.
However, in order to obtain an acrylonitrile fraction by simple distillation having an acrolein content of less than 5 parts per million, as is required by specifications generally adopted for fiber grade acrylonitrile, one must employ cumbersome and expensive operating methods. On the other hand, even when working with the cyanohydrin of acrolein, other difficulties are encountered because, under certain specific operating conditions, this product partially decomposes and thereby reverts to acrolein, per se.
Furthermore, while attempting to separate acrolein from acrylonitrile by distillation, there is a very strong tendency towards polymerization of both acrolein and its cyanohydrin, and thus there arises the serious drawbacks of formation of polymers in the various subsequent distillation columns.
It is also known that acrolein present in trace amounts in acrylonitrile can be eliminated therefrom by spontaneous homopolymerization, without further intervention 3,462,477 Patented Aug. 19, 1969 on the part of the operator. However, the acrylonitrile produced from propylene, NH and O industrially always contains considerable amounts of acrolein, and thus spontaneous homopolymerization can be ruled out, for all intents and purposes, for the purification of acrylonitrile.
Thus, it is the primary object of this invention to provide a process for the removal of acrolein from acrylonitrile that is free of the disadvantages attendant known art processes.
A further object of this invention is that of providing a process for the removal of acrolein from acrylonitrile capable of yielding acrylonitrile of high purity, and even when starting with a crude acrylonitrile fraction having a high percentage of acrolein.
Another object is that of providing a process for the purification of acrylonitrile which is effective, simple and inexpensive.
Still another object of this invention is that of providing a process for the removal of acrolein from acrylonitrile which permits of the elimination of acrolein without concomitant waste of acrylonitrile during purification.
These and other objects are attained according to the process of the present invention, which further otters the advantages of requiring only extremely simple equipment for the execution thereof, while the normal operating conditions are such as to lend themselves to working either at atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure for the elimination of all impurities from acrylonitrile without the burdens of additional equipment or without the need for particular technical effects or technological devices.
Another advantage of the process of this invention, which reflects favorably on the economics thereof, as well as the yields of final product, is that the removal of the acrolein from the acrylonitrile takes place without attendant side reactions arising which cause losses of acrylonitrile or acetonitrile, such as is the case with known techniques.
Still another advantage of the process according to this invention is that during the purification phase or removal of the acrolein from the acrylonitrile, no solid or liquid water immiscible reaction products are formed in the aqueous medium thereof.
According to this invention, briefly, crude acrylonitrile obtained by catalytic reaction of propylene, ammonia and O in gaseous phase is rid of its acrolein content by dissolving said crude acrylonitrile in water, after having removed unreacted NH therefrom so as to obtain an aqueous solution of crude acrylonitrile having a pH range of from between 7.5 and 11, said pH having been adjusted by addition of alkalizers to the water or directly to the solution, in the event that dissolution is initially in nonalkaline water; and thence by heating and maintaining the solution at a temperature of from between 70 C. and C. for a period of from between 1 and 60 minutes, subjecting said solution to distillation and then separating the crude acrylonitrile, which is now substantially free of arolein.
According to one embodiment of the process of this invention, removal of the acrolein from the crude acrylonitrile which was obtained by catalytic reaction of propylene, NH and O in gaseous phase, was carried out in the following manner: the gaseous mixture, directly obtained from the catalytic reaction between propylene, NH and O and consisting of acrylonitrile, hydrocyanic acid, acetonitrile, acrolein, aceton, acetaldehyde, lesser amounts of other impurities, and, furthermore, the excess of unconverted reactants, ammonia included, was washed continuously to remove the unconverted ammonia, according to known methods, such as, for example, in :1 packed washing tower with dilute sulfuric acid and maintained at a temperature slightly above the condensation point of the organic products, so as was avoided any condensation, thus rendering product dissolution negligible.
The gaseous mixture thus freed of ammonia and, optionally, cooled, was then countercurrently continuously conveyed to a plate tower, or other such tower together with H O having a pH of from between 7.5 and 11, which pH was effected via addition of alkalizers thereto, e.g., the hydroxides or alkaline carbonates, and at approximately atmospheric pressure and approximately room temperature. The aqueous solution thus obtained was then heated at a temperature of from between 70 C. and 150 C. and directed to a suitable container where it was maintained at such temperatures for a period of from 1 to 60 minutes. After this time interval, there remained in the solution only traces of acrolein and the solution was thence distilled, which latter step was carried out according to know methods, for example, by continuously feeding the solution to the top of a tower, at the bottom of which there was injected steam; the dissolved organic products were thus freed in vapor stage together with the water vapor, and they were then condensed and conveyed to subsequent operations for the removal of residual impurities from the acrylonitrile.
The water-saturated crude acrylonitrile thus collected contained only trace amounts of acrolein, which during subsequent operations were themselves spontaneously reduced to quantities below 5 p.p.m., according to conventional art methods.
The pH range of the solution containing the products from the gaseous mixture is mainly dependent upon the temperature and the duration of the subsequent heating phase, and the pH range according to this invention is comprised from between 7.5 and 11; however, values lower than about 8.5 proved to be substantially ineffective while values above about 10, though effective, are not preferred. The preferred range is from between about 8.5 and 10.
The temperatures for heating the aqueous solution containing the dissolved reaction products varies from between 70 C. and 150 C., and preferably ranges from between 75 C. and 90 C.
The duration of heating of the aqueous solution of the crude acrylonitrile is from between 1 and 60 minutes, and preferably from between 5 and 30 minutes.
The water for dissolving the gaseous reaction products may either be initially alkaline or it may be non-alkaline, and in the latter case the solution thus obtained therefrom is then rendered alkaline via addition to the solution of suitable alkalizers, such as the hydroxides or alkaline earth metal carbonates, preferably in aqueous solution. The alkaline earth metal bicarbonates may also be used, since there are converted to their corresponding carbonates during heating, particularly during heating up to their boiling points.
The amount of lalkalizers to be added is dependent upon their nature and upon the particular pH required.
The pressure at which the dissolution is effected is not critical, and it may be convenient to operate at atmospheric pressure, as well as at slightly superatmospheric pressures, depending upon the pressure of the reaction environment of the acrylonitrile purification for the process according to the present invention. Also, dissolution temperatures are not critical, but, since acrylonitrile is a rather volatile product, a temperature near room temperature is preferred.
To further illustrate the present invention and the advantages thereof, the following specific examples are given, it being understood that these are merely intended to be illustrative and not limitative.
More specifically, Example 6 was carried out in order to better illustrate the importance of the pH factor in the process according to the present invention, and in which example there are described tests carried out with different pH values on samples taken from the same starting solution, under constant temperature and constant heating duration.
EXAMPLE 1 The products from the catalytic reaction of propylene, ammonia and air in gaseous phase, and comprising acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, hydrocyanic acid, acrolein, acetaldehyde, acetone, water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and minor amounts of other byproducts, and, furthermore, unreacted oxygen, nitrogen, propylene and ammonia, and after having transferred part of their heat for generating vapor and after having been cooled to a temperature of around 200 C., were conveyed through pipe 1 (FIG. 1) to the bottom of washing tower 2 in which the ammonia was selectively eliminated. For this purpose, an aqueous solution containing from l2% sulfuric acid and 3040% ammonium sulfate entered through pipe 3 and was made to circulate in Tower 2 at a temperature maintained at between to C.
The sulfuric acid consumed in the neutralization of ammonia was replenished by introducing concentrated sulfuric acid through pipe 5, While through pipe 4 there was introduced water for integrating losses due to saturation of the gas and to the discharge of ammonium sulfate in form of a solution, as is described hereunder.
Through pipe 6 there was continuously or intermittently extracted an amount of the solution such as would discharge the ammonium sulfate as it was formed, albeit its concentration within the cycle remained constant and corresponding in degree to that hereinbefore mentioned.
The gaseous products of the reaction (less the ammonia), which had a temperature of between 85-90" C., and which were saturated with water vapor, left column 2 and were conveyed through pipe 7 to the bottom of absorption tower 8 wherein they were washed with water in countercurrent which water absorbed and dissolved the organic products, the hydrocyanic acid and part of the carbon dioxide, while the gaseous compounds (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide the remaining carbon dioxide and propylene) were discharged through pipe 10.
The washing water was supplied through pipe 9 at a temperature of between 20 and 35 C. and came from stripping tower 16, as is hereinafter further elucidated. This water had a pH equal to 10 and contained dissolved therein about 0.2 g./l. of Na in the form of its carbonate and bicarbonate.
At the bottom of column 8 there was gathered a dilute aqueous solution of the reaction products, which had a pH about 77.5 and the following composition:
Percent Acrylonitrile 1.32. Acetonitrile 0.11 Hydrocyanic acid 0.10 Acrolein 0.2
and contained minor quantities or traces of other byproducts.
The solution thus obtained left tower 8 through pipe 12 and at 13 there was continuously added thereto an aqueous solution of NaOH in such an amount as to increase its pH to 8.5.
The alkalized solution was then heated to 85 C. in 14 via heat exchange with a boiling solution coming from 16 and flows through vessel 15 for a contact time of 15 minutes. This solution of reduced acrolein content according to the present invention entered the top of tower 16. At the bottom of this tower there was adducted through 17 a quantity of live vapor sufficient to eliminate from the solution all volatile organic products dissolved therein.

Credit Suisse chief economist Hiromichi Shirakawa said economic losses from the quake-hit region of northeastern Japan would likely be "slightly less than 40 percent" of the 40 trillion yen in total economic losses seen from the Kobe earthquake in 1995.
Shirakawa said losses from the quake on Friday would likely be smaller due to the lower number of office buildings, commercial facilities and highways in the affected regions.
He also said there had been no reports of big collapses of major manufacturing facilities.

Historical Traveler Reviews Spyglass Inn Pismo Beach
Overpriced and overrated.
We spent three nights in a room that smelled of disinfectant. The phone didn't work, the stopper in the tub was broken, and we had to adjust the light bulb to turn on/off the single bedside lamp. For an average of $200 a night you can do a lot better in Pismo. We are there often, just decided to try a new place. Big mistake. Go to the Lighthouse and get your money's worth.
Worst Ever
I spend at least 100 days a year in hotel rooms so feel well positioned to comment. The Hotel is Overpriced, Dirty and the Staff need a leason in customer service. We had just finished a Highway 1 trip and have stayed in hotels up and down the coast, this one spoilt our break. To be honest I will sleep in my car before I try this place again.
Perfect Retreat
If you want great views, good food, accomidating and friendly staff and our going to the pismo beach area stay here. Best hotel in pismo beach
Noisiest Place Ever...
Apparently, if you are in one of the ocean-view rooms in the "front" the Spyglass Inn is a fine place to stay. However, we found it to be an exceptionally noisy facility. The walls have minimal or no sound-proofing and it is as if the folks in the rooms on either side of you are right in your room. We could have carried on conversations with them without any difficulty as if there were no walls. And, when people came out onto the neighboring little proches to use their cellphones, you became an unwilling party to their intimate or business conversations. Late-into-the night porch parties or conversations were something else you unwittingly became a party to. Further, given the configuration of the Inn, most of the rooms open on the parking area and pool area and that leads to a great deal of vehicular and people noise all hours into the night, coupled with a near by service station and Highway 101. All in all, a damn noisy facility.l
Loved the Spyglass Inn!
After a long drive up the coastal highway, we arrived on a Tuesday evening, just in time for "All You Can Eat Crablegs" - ONLY ON TUESDAY - thank God it was Tuesday! The BEST crab legs I've ever had! The staff was nice. The views from the restaurant, great! Views from our room - awesome! The property is landscaped well. There was a little constuction going on to the north of us, but was not bothersome. The sound of the waves at night, from the balcony, wonderful! The moon was even shining on the waves rolling in, which really topped it off! Beautiful! I'm a cat lover, so naturally, I loved the resident cats on property. The room was clean, comfortable and well decorated. The toiletries in the bathroom, were a nice added extra touch. (not your average cheap stuff) Did not notice the "thin walls" I've read in some of the other reviews.
I'm not an easy person to impress, when it comes to hotels - very particular - and I thought the place was great!
Between the 4 of us, traveling together - we all agreed - it was a great place to stay! Would definately recommend it and would visit again.
Oh my gosh!!
While placing the reservation on line I requested an oceanview but didn't think much about it because the room was only $99.00. The staff was so professional and attentive. They wore matching shirts. Big red apples were in a basket at the front desk. As we entered the room and pulled back the curtains, we both looked at each other in awe-the most beautiful view of the ocean and a nice park. We became somewhat worried about the hotels nearby outdoor resturant patio but no problems arose. The crashing of the waves were powerful throughout our stay so we did not notice if the walls were thin. There were robes in the closet and chairs on the balcony. The bathroom was clean and the sheets were soooo soft-very important to me. No funky smells. A real nice place to stay.
Pretty nice, but thin walls
Our stay at the Spyglass was overall very nice. Because the hotel wasn't full, our room was upgraded and we had a nice view of the water and the property. The room is nice and very spacious. There is free high speed internet also which I really appreciated. The only problem with the room was that the walls are very thin. When the family of four returned to their room, I could hear every word the children and the parents were saying. Luckily, they went to bed pretty early! Overall, though, a great hotel in such a nice location. Good cookies in reception also!
Great view, smelled a little funny
This place had a fantastic view, and great "theming" with a wonderful garden and a neat old rowboat the kids really enjoyed playing in. But the rooms were a little grungy, the pool was placed unattractively in the parking lot, and the place smelled mildewy and ultimately we decided to stay only one night and go somewhere newer and nicer (and cheaper!) -- the Pismo Lighthouse Suites.
Pismo Beach is a great place, though. Many people stop there one night on the way up or down the coast, but we recommend it as a destination.
More than expected!
This place was absolutely perfect, very quiet, relaxing place. Restraunt was so-so but overall an excellent place to stay and not too expensive. From the outside it actually looks rustic, and old fashioned, but the rooms are very nicely decorated and beds are comfy :)
Great View, Good Restaurant, No Soundproofing
Booked last-minute reservation here on 9/9/04. The room and motel are neutrally-seashore decorated with fireplaces providing the heating for chilly nights. The motel restaurant was good, especially for breakfast. Biggest drawback: no soundproofing-could hear every toilet-flush, amorous couple, barking dog, etc. If sleep is important: beware!

Wine Tasting and New Years Eve Day
Yesterday afternoon the four of us went to Paso Robles to do some wine tasting. The first winery, Windward, only produces Pinot Noirs. Excellent vintages from their own vineyards. We bought 3 2010 and 3 2008. Drank one bottle overlooking the vineyards, which are dormant and brown. We were told that last year they had only 3" of rain. A little scary. The second, Summerwood, ...
A hidden gem!
... and hot fudge sauce. Mike had chocolate, strawberry and vanilla with m&ms,skittles, chocolate Carmel chip and nuts. All for $10! We wandered down to the pier and was met by at least six or seven dolphins, hundreds of sea birds and pelicans feeding on fish just off the edge of the pier, about 100 yards from the shore. It was quite amazing watching all this marine life in their natural habitat - hell of a lot better than Sea ...

Skydive HollisterRead MoreThe instructors at Skydive Hollister conduct their highest jumps at 18,000 feet—the greatest height from which one can dive without supplemental oxygen. Even at this altitude, they have to pump oxygen into the plane's cockpit before a jump. Once outside, the 120 mile-per-hour free falls last little more than one minute. They help students navigate this rapid descent on tandem dives, during which they strap into the same harness as their student and coach them in proper body position, steering, and parachute release over the sound of roaring wind. At 5,000 feet, instructors deploy the parachute and instruct their partner in parachute control and landing techniques as the blue waters of Monterey Bay and the hills of San Francisco unfold below. Instructors also train students seeking skydiving licenses through two programs. In the Accelerated Free-Fall program, they teach skydiving principles and technical basics in a four- to six-hour ground school before strapping students into their own parachutes for seven jumps. The Instructor-Assisted Free-Fall program precedes this solo training with two tandem skydives, during which instructors teach their protégés the basics of free-fall turns, altitude awareness, and filling in for the lead goose flying in V-formation.60 Airport DriveHollister, CA US

Derose WineryRead MoreCuisine Type: Wine Established: Before 1950 Reservations: Required Handicap Accessible: Yes Parking: Parking lot Most popular offering: Wine Kid-friendly: No Alcohol: Wine Only Outdoor Seating: No The fertile soil at the base of the Gabilan Mountains drew winemakers early in California's history; farmers began growing grapes in the area beginning in 1851 at what was to become DeRose Winery. "We offer wine made from dry-farmed vines that [are] over 150 years old," says office manager Nicole Manske. "Our wines are inky, fruit-forward, and well balanced." She invites guests to try these time-tested vintages, including the signature zinfandel, during tastings. The selection comprises wines from DeRose-owned vineyards around the world, including locations in Spain, Italy, France, and Argentina. In addition to producing quality wines, the staff aims to keep its soil fertile and its practices sustainable. The winemakers never irrigate, saving gallons of fresh water for other uses such as cultivating a native population of piranhas. They fertilize the soil naturally and even power the entire vineyard with solar panels.9970 Cienega Rd.Hollister, CA US

What Would Cindy Do: Sheenan on Her Visit to the University of Dallas
Over at Dissident Voice, which is not owned by our parent company, Cindy Sheehan this morning recounts her recent visit to the University of Dallas, where she spoke at the invitation of the chairman of the economics department, Samuel Bostaph. Sounds like a hoot:
Surprisingly, my friend Sam, received little protest over inviting me, but there was a "Support the Troops" rally in the room next to where I spoke. Some Camp Casey friends accidentally went into that room and only heard the speaker call me names like "scum" and he called the rest of the people at my event "peace fairies."
I was heartened to find the first three rows of my speech were filled with young people who were smiling and vigorously nodding their heads at everything I said. Most of the audience clapped or laughed in the right places so I was feeling pretty good. However, I was a little sad when there were some snide snickers when I had the unmitigated gall to call Iraqis "human beings."
Then, it got all religious up in the joint. --Robert Wilonsky

"I absolutely love my invitations. Another beautiful added touch to my day. Thank you for your hard work and getting it to me in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend to my friends."
"These wedding invitations are absolutely perfect! I'm helping a friend design her whole wedding. Her fiance popped the question in a hot air balloon......so when it came time to pick invites, I started trying to track down something that would be special to their day, and still match their vintage style wedding. When I saw these ticket style invites on Wedding Paper Divas, my heart skipped a beat! Then I worked with a design specialist who helped make our invites personal and perfect. They helped add text to the back and made sure all font and wording looked beautiful and fit in the design. I truly could not be happier!! THANK YOU WEDDING PAPER DIVAS!"
"Great design with a tint of nostalgia. WPD designers are easy to work with - incorporated more wording on the back of the card at my request. Customer service was also top notch. My cards were delayed - WPD happily sent me another batch for next day delivery. Would definitely recommend this design and WPD in general to friends."
"I really enjoyed these invitations. They are beautiful, especially when printed out (we used the default card stock and they were gorgeous). I think the invitations are elegant and lovely; perfect for a fall wedding. I really liked that I could put both set of parents on the invitation without it looking too busy or awkward. I loved the edits that the website's wedding designer/reviewer did to make sure everything was perfect. Even better, the cards arrived ahead of schedule. Flawless customer service and a beautiful invitation."

Oscar-nominated screenwriter, former Motion Picture Academy president Fay Kanin dies at 95
LOS ANGELES — Fay Kanin, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the 1958 Clark Gable-Doris Day comedy "Teacher's Pet" and former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, died on Wednesday. She was 95.
She passed away of natural causes in her home in Santa Monica, Calif., said caretaker Monique West.
In a writing career that spanned more than four decades, Kanin penned screenplays for movies such as the 1954 Elizabeth Taylor romantic drama "Rhapsody" and television specials such as "Tell Me Where It Hurts," for which she won two Emmy Awards in 1974. She won another Emmy in 1979 for producing "Friendly Fire," a critically acclaimed Carol Burnett TV movie based on the true story of an American soldier killed in the Vietnam War.
She was married to Oscar-winning screenwriter Michal Kanin.
Kanin served as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 1979 to 1983 and was its second female president after actress Bette Davis. Kanin was a longtime chairwoman of the National Film Preservation Board of the Library of Congress and served on the board of the American Film Institute.
Kanin often collaborated on scripts with her husband, who shared the Oscar for best original screenplay with Ring Lardner Jr. in 1942 for "Woman of the Year." The Kanins shared the best original screenplay Oscar nomination for "Teacher's Pet," which centers on an ornery newspaper editor played by Gable who falls for an idealistic journalism instructor played by Day.
The couple formed half of a formidable Hollywood family. Michael Kanin's younger brother Garson Kanin was a screenwriter and his wife, Ruth Gordon, won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her turn in "Rosemary's Baby."
Fay Kanin's writing credits include the 1949 Broadway comedy "Goodbye, My Fancy," the 1959 Broadway adaptation of "Rashomon" and other TV movies such as "Heartsounds" and "Hustling."
