LITERATURE.~ez_mdash~~ez_ldquo~The Stranger~ez_rsquo~s
Companion Amid the Antiquities of Dunfermline. Printed and
sold by J. Miller & Son. 1844. Price 6d.~ez_rdquo~ This is a small
12mo. of 60 pages and is divided into six chapters, and
contains a very good account of ancient and modern
Dunfermline. A small vignette of the Monastery from the
north-west fronts the title page. This little work went
through several editions, and is now out of print.
MR. DAVID PATON died at this
residence, Wooer~ez_rsquo~s Alley, Dunfermline, on 13th
July, 1844, in the 78th year of his age. We take
the following from our MS notes:--
Mr. Paton was originally a
weaver, but in after life he constructed a turning lathe, and
commenced the business of turner, supplying weavers with
pirns, bobbins, &c., and was often
in request by youths for their peeries
and tops. He was a great mechanical genius; his workshop was
quite a repository of art and science, being well filled with
all kinds of mechanical nick-nacks
of his own making, finished and unfinished, such as box camera
obscura~ez_rsquo~s; telescopes and
microscopes; a magic lantern, made out of an old tea chest; a
Franklin harmonicon; wooden clocks, common and astronomical; a
planetarium constructed with wooden wheels, the teeth of which
were cut with a knife, and finished up with a file, but which,
nevertheless, showed very satisfactorily the motions of all
the then known planets round the sun; a machine for twining
thread; a mouse mill, which twined thread by the mouse driving
round a wheel, and which also showed several curious
mechanical exhibitions; and last, though not least, a model
for a perpetual motion, but which would not continue its
movement longer than seven and a-half minutes. Besides all
these contrivances, he constructed a curious printing press in
1810, and by its aid he printed a great many little books
between that period and 1826, which are noticed in the Annals
under the dates of publication. The types, of which he had
bu7t a moderate supply, were much worn out. A story is till
current that he made his own types! This is a mistake, such a
feat was beyond the reach of his art; besides, had he been
able to make one type, it would have taken a life time to have
produced a few thousands of them. It is true, however, that
he cut initial letters about half an inch square for his
books, &c., and he likewise made his own woodcuts for his
illustrations; these letters and woodcuts were made by the
assistance of a penknife, small chisel and sprig-bits (brugs)
of various sizes. The writer has again to repeat his great
respect for the memory of this ingenious man, having in his
early days spent many of his leisure hours in his little
LITERATURE.~ez_mdash~~ez_ldquo~Historical and
Statistical Account of Dunfermline. By the Rev. Peter
Chalmers, A.M., Minister of the First Charge, Abbey Church,

its learned author. The work is a large octavo of 592 pages,

Houses, when constructed entirely of
rattons, were ratton-houses,
and when a number such ratton-houses
adjoined each other, they were known as
ratton rows. There was a quay at
known as the Ratton Quay. (See
Burns~ez_rsquo~s Poems.) When worship was conducted in the nave of the
Abbey Chuirch, Dunfermline, there
was ~ez_ldquo~a sounding roof~ez_rdquo~ known across the church, half way up to
the ~ez_ldquo~top roof,~ez_rdquo~ to keep ~ez_ldquo~the sound down.~ez_rdquo~ this roof was
constructed wholly of undressed timber, and was known as the

Row of London appears to have got its name from a row of
undressed timber huts.

highest ground in the city, 354 feet above the level of the

applied to the site of Gillespie Church:
~ez_ldquo~When ye have sought the City
Yet still this is the highest ground.~ez_rdquo~
What a fine site for a steeple!
Since this church was built the want of a steeple has often
been regretted. A fine and large lithographic view of this

The Premiere Website For Police News In Texas
Click To Visit My Campaign Facebook Paige
The Police NewsApril 2, 2010
Last month the Texas Attorney General's Child Support Division released its annual Top Ten List of Texas' Most Wanted Child Support Evaders. Under Texas law, the attorney general is obligated to release the annual list, which this year names parents who owe a combined $1.1 million in overdue, court-ordered child support. The subjects are wanted by authorities for violating court orders that require them to pay child support.
Within one day of issuing the new list, two of the ten evaders were behind bars for their child support violations. The public can help locate the remaining eight evaders on the list by calling (866) EVADERS (382-3377), or e-mailing email@example.com, to report any information that may lead to the arrest of:
David Martin, who owes $404,827 for two children in Floydada; Tomas Roman, who owes $160,928 for two children in Katy; Billy Fleming, who owes $127,383 for three children in Texas City; Guadalupe Aceves, who owes $71,073 for three children in Balch Springs; Jorge Hernandez, who owes $55,267 for five children in El Paso; Marcus Spanihel, Jr., who owes $54,180 for one child in Burton; Michelle Falco, who owes $51,204 for two children in Richardson; and Kurt Lindner, who owes $36,103 for one child in Abilene.
The first evader arrested was Rudy Velez, who surrendered to authorities the day the list was unveiled. Velez owes $18,351 for the care of a ten-year-old son. He has been sentenced to 90 days in jail for his failure to pay child support.
Child Support Evader Jimmie McCullough was arrested one day after the list's release. McCullough, who owes $139,881 for the care of two sons, was arrested as the result of an anonymous tip to the Bowie County Sheriff's Office.
Regular child support can make a big difference in the life of a child. That is why it is so crucial that the public contact the Attorney General's Office with any information that could lead to the location and arrest of these Child Support Evaders. It is only right that they be held accountable, not only for breaking the law, but also for violating a sacred trust that should be every child's birthright. Please visit the attorney general's main Web site at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov to view photos and specific information about individual evaders.
To satisfy the Texas Family Code's requirement that certain delinquent cases be released to the public, the OAG's Most Wanted Child Support Evader list helps raise public awareness about noncustodial parents who owe more than $5,000 and are the subject of an arrest warrant. In addition, parents named to the list have failed to make child support payments during the previous six months, their locations are unknown, and they are not involved in bankruptcy proceedings or receiving welfare benefits. The parent with custody of the children must sign a confidentiality waiver before the evader can be added to the list.
The Attorney General's Child Support Division works with local law enforcement to locate and incarcerate delinquent parents when courts issue warrants for their arrests. All of the parents on the evader list are wanted on civil or criminal warrants. They face jail time and monetary penalties for failing to pay child support.
The Child Support Evaders on the Top Ten List were selected because they have the ability to take responsibility for their children but refuse to do so. Incarceration is the only option for parents who repeatedly ignore court orders requiring them to pay child support. The Office of the Attorney General helps parents who lack the ability to pay child support by referring them to job training and employment services.
A total of 104 evaders have been arrested or located since I took office in December 2002. With the public's help, we can increase this number and collect the child support that is due to Texas children. Please contact the Office of the Attorney General with tips or information that may lead to the arrests of Texas' Most Wanted Child Support Evaders.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Points To RememberMost Wanted Evaders
CRITERIA: For a parent to be named as a Most Wanted Child Support Evader: Court-ordered delinquent support must be in excess of $5,000 Arrest warrant must have been issued Parent's location is unknown Parent has not made any payments in the last six months Parent is not involved in bankruptcy proceedings or receiving welfare benefits

Sports Betting For Kansas Residents
Residents of Kansas will find that there are a way for you to bet on sports without too much trouble. This lies within the fact that you will be able to use the Internet for betting on sports. There are no problems that can come from wagering through the Internet, provided you do not actually violate any other laws. Kansas is actually pretty friendly toward gamblers. The laws have been laid out in a fairly easy to read way, and you will not have to work too hard in order to find the rules and regulations regarding gambling in the state. Sports betting is easy enough to make money with, and you will find that the best way to participate is through our various sports betting sites.
Legal Sports Betting Sites Accepting Kansas Residents
In order to promote a safe and enriching sports betting environment, we had decided to test out a variety of different betting sites accepting Kansas residents. We had not stopped with just a few of the basic locations, as we had made it our goal to provide the most fulfilling experience possible. By testing out a large number of sites, we had figured out where our readers should bet. In testing the various options, we had looked at bonuses, deposits, fairness and how well the odds pay. We do not allow low quality sites into our midst, as there is simply no time to be wasted on trash gambling sites. Betting is chaotic and unpredictable enough, which is why sticking to the best books are important.
Bovada - Kansas Residents Get Up To $250 With 50% Match - First Deposit
SportsBetting.ag - Jayhawk Fans & Wildcat Fans Agree on Sportsbetting.ag
BetOnline - Make One Deposit Or Ten and get 25% to $900 each time
5Dimes - Quick sportsbook payouts and big bonuses for all Kansas playersIs sports betting legal in Kansas?
The laws regarding sports betting in Kansas are fairly limited. Having flipped through the statutes we saw very little about sports betting. Even then we saw absolutely nothing about online sports gambling. One of the main reasons we feel that it is not a crime to gamble in the state is that there is no ban written specifically to make it a crime to gamble online.Kansas Sports Betting & Gambling Laws
In the state of Kansas you will find no particular ban on sports gambling on the Internet. There is part of the statute, and this says that gambling is "making a bet," and that this is a class B misdemeanor. This is vague, very open to interpretation, and could potentially be described as making any form of bet illegal. We do not necessarily think this implies that online sports gambling is illegal, but we are also not attorneys. You may want to contact a lawyer before you decide to start laying odds, as this is the only way to figure out if what is written into chapter 21, section 4303 makes it a crime for you to gamble on sports over the Internet.
Legal Gambling Age For Kansas Residents
Kansans who are at least 21 years of age can start gambling on sports without too much trouble. There is the trouble of the statutory laws that have confused us, but the gambling age of 21 pretty much forces you to be above this age or you could face civil problems, such as having your money confiscated.
Land Based Gambling In Kansas
Casino White Cloud, Golden Eagle Casino, Harrah's Prairie Band Casino, Potawatomi Nation Bingo, Sac & Fox Casino, The woodlands, Wichita Greyhound Park
A number of different gaming facilities exist in the state of Kansas. You will not find any sports betting locations, but there are some pari-mutuel facilities that accept bets on horses and dogs. This is the closest you will come to being able to wager on sports in Kansas without turning to the Internet. These betting locations may not host the largest assortment of bets, but the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act limits how many options Kansas can explore.
FAQ About Online Sports Betting In Kansas
1) Since Kansas is not included in the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, how is it legal for bettors to wager in the state?
The PASPA only covers whether or not a state can authorize a betting scheme, not whether or not players can bet from within the state's borders.
2) Isn't it implied that these sites are illegal if they are not regulated?
No. These sites are not illegal because they are not regulated. They are licensed off shore, and thus they operate legally.
3) How easily can I fund my account through these sportsbooks?
Loading your account is as simple as entering the number on your credit card.
4) My credit card has failed to deposit even though my account has sufficient funds. Why?
Banking restrictions sometimes make it so credit cards are rejected. This is normal and nothing to be worried about.
5) Is my credit card rejected because this is an illegal transaction?
No. Your credit card is rejected because some banks deem online gambling to be a high risk activity.
6) What alternative funding methods exist to help me fund my account?
E-checks, wire transfers, e-wallets and prepaid cards are all viable deposit methods.
7) If I deposit with a credit card, how can I withdraw my winnings?
Withdrawals are generally made with checks or wire transfers after you deposit with a credit card.
8) What is the turn around time on a withdrawal with a check?
You will have your winnings in your hand within two weeks time, though it can sometimes take up to a month.
9) Where can I find the Kansas sports betting laws online?
You can find the Kansas gambling statutes here.
10) Why do I have to verify my identification before I cash out?
This is done for three reasons - first to prove you are who you say you are (fraud protection), second to make sure you are old enough to gamble (age verification), and to prevent charge backs so you can't deposit, win, cash out, then dispute the charge.
If you are not sure if these U.S. online sportsbooks legal then we suggest that you talk to a lawyer if you are really worried about getting in trouble.

I have been eating here for years. Whenever I hit the city I stop by the Island for a great chicken sandwich. I never tried the milkshakes but my friends say they are the best.
Posted by Foodie on 03/13/2013
Do I love the burger? YES! But what I REALLY love here are the chicken sandwiches and the salads! I honestly don't know where to get a better salad (so fresh! and big, too) or chicken sandwich (juicy, tender and tasty) in the neighborhood. I eat here about 4 days a week and the value cannot be beat. Atmosphere is fun and the service is always above average. My boyfriend gets the burger and has never ever been disappointed - in fact - he craves it. This is a staple in Hell's Kitchen - everyone knows it and loves it. I suggest you try it - if you haven't you are surely missing out!
Posted by dlync on 02/10/2013
Tried once and didnt think the burgers were great. decided to try again today and now i remember why i haven't been there for so long. Burger was dry, too large, and tasteless...the cheese was a small thin slice on it that i could not even taste. Roll is just an average packaged roll. Overpriced for what it is.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/03/2012
The burgers are fantastic and Juicy! Really fantastic! Also the variety is stunning! Just don't order your burger well done, it's impossible to get a juicy burger ANYWHERE if you do that. The new fries were good, alittle different from the usual, and the shakes were also good but not stunning. Definetly a place to go.
Posted by vasian12 on 12/06/2011
I think you can find other places in the city with better burgers. The burgers were dry, over cooked, and tasted like you can get it at any ordinary diners. The fries were great! Especially the cheese fries!
Posted by Kev S on 10/13/2011
Seriously great 'Napalm' churasco, fries and vanilla shake from Island for lunch today (13th Oct 2011) and as a lover of very hot/spicy food, would recommend this place to anyone! Their habanero sauce is made right there, and is the 2nd-hottest sauce from any food culture I've had (the other is a curry house in Spain). It almost beat me, and 30 minutes after I'd finished I could still feel the tingle. Super-friendly and very fast service as well, and 2 of us ate fries, burger/churasco, and a shake each for less than $46... Our new favourite burger shack in NYC. Official.
Posted by anonymous on 10/10/2011
stumbled upon this place with a friend craving a burger. had one their offerings on the ciabata bread with the cheese fries and a beer. absolutely great burger. super tasty. wolfed it down in record time. this place is definetly a casual type of burger shack but excellent food and value for what it is.

On the west coast, cops commit war crimes.
On the east coast, cops admit that corruption is a perk of their jobs, and get all indignant about being prosecuted.
Maybe we should start using the slogan "no special rights for cops." (Of course, applied consistently that would make them not cops anymore. Which is fine with me.)

Tom Humphrey: Social conservatives rule state's GOP electorate
Going into Super Tuesday, it seemed possible that the Tennessee Republican primary tradition of conservatives splitting their votes to assure plurality victory for a moderate would hold true.
Coming out of Super Tuesday, just maybe a new normal has been achieved wherein the conservative wing of the Republican party can believe in better.
Back in the old normal, or maybe the ancient normal, Tennessee Republicans were pretty much a united bunch because they were the state's minority party. Moderation ruled with guys like Howard Baker, Winfield Dunn and Lamar Alexander, and the cultural warrior wing went along against the dominant Democrats, who were often split into factions.
Indeed, there was a time when the traditional mountain Republicans had power in our fair state by deciding which Democratic faction to align with in a given political situation. Often this involved a clash of Democrat personalities rather than policy, and the Republicans could tip the scales.
Party roles are now reversed and, as Republicans have grown in power, factionalism within the GOP has become ever more pronounced. The moderate men — call them business oriented, silk stocking or establishment, if you prefer — prevailed on a statewide basis, but the social conservatives gained ground and were responsible for most of the party's growth.
Recall that in 2006, conservative candidates Ed Bryant and Van Hilleary collectively had more votes than Bob Corker in the U.S. Senate primary, despite being dramatically outspent by Corker. But with the vote split, Corker achieved a plurality victory.
Similarly, in 2010, moderate Bill Haslam won the gubernatorial primary though conservatives Zach Wamp and Ron Ramsey, together, had more votes. As with Corker, the moderate man had a lot more money — both in personal funds and in contributions.
The 2012 Tennessee presidential primary featured a similar setup — moderate Mitt Romney facing conservatives split between Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, dramatically outspending them and backed by the state's Republican establishment, led by Haslam. (The governor, incidentally, has used the slogans "new normal" and "believe in better" in slightly different contexts.)
But it was not to be. Santorum swept 37 percent of the vote, 10 points ahead of Romney, and Gingrich came in with about 24 percent.
The social conservatives collectively had such a substantial margin over the moderates that, even when split, they prevailed in the statewide voting. Gingrich and Santorum together had 61 percent of the vote. Throw in Ron Paul, and it's close to 70 percent.
This contrasts with the Haslam and Corker elections, wherein the competing conservatives were splitting up a much more narrow majority. This would indicate that, in the new normal, social conservatives now have very strong voting control of the Tennessee Republican party on a statewide basis.
While that is something of a milestone marker, or maybe a high-water mark, it's not exactly a shocking development. The trend toward social conservatism has been apparent for some time in the Legislature, where it's a general rule of thumb — there are exceptions — that the less seniority a Republican legislator has, the more socially conservative he or she is.
On policy issues, the more controversial efforts of social conservatives at the state level — say the "don't say gay" bill, to use one that everybody's heard about — are still often stalled, watered down or outright thwarted by compromise-prone, business-oriented Republican moderates such as Haslam and House Speaker Beth Harwell.
That may continue for a while.
After GOP-dictated redistricting this year, the party's legislative majority is likely to grow stronger. But it's almost inevitable that, as there more Republicans, there will be more division within the Republican ranks. And if the apparent trend continues, social conservatives may grow in power as the moderates weaken within our state. Perhaps to the point that someday remnant minority Democrats may be able to decide political matters statewide by deciding which faction of Republicans they will align with.
Hard to say who will be believing in better at that time.

The folks in Tampa may be expecting the saloon doors to swing open and Logan Mankins – silhouetted from behind – to block out the doorframe.
That's the way the former Patriot is being built up.
"He has a history of a certain type of play in the league," Bucs coach Lovie Smith said. "Most people say Logan Mankins — tough football player, real man, everybody loves him, great guy in your locker room. … Exactly what we need on our football team and of course in the offensive line room."
The thing about Mankins, though, is the complete juxtaposition of his on-field and locker-room/real life personality. He is the anti-Incognito. Soft spoken but not shy. Accommodating and all-business. And when he gets on the field he will play, as it's been said, to the echo of the whistle.
They're gonna love him down there. Even if there is some trepidation about how the deal went down.
Martin Fennelly of the Tampa Tribune writes:
The only thing that worries me is that the Bucs made a deal with: Belichick.
If Mankins is retired a year from now and Tim Wright has 100 catches, we'll let you know.
It's just that Bill Belichick always seems to get the best of the Bucs. Hey, Belichick pulled a lot more out of LeGarrette Blount and a lot more out of Aqib Talib, and what did the Bucs get? A Belichick recommendation to the Glazers that they hire ... Greg Schiano. Thanks, Mr. Bill!
Maybe Belichick is dumping Mankins' salary (he's reportedly the highest paid guard in the NFL) to stay ahead, like always (see Lawyer Milloy, Richard Seymour).
No one knows how long Logan Mankins, 32, will be a Buc.
It's been noted that dealing Mankins and his $6.25 million salary (and $6.75M the next two years) is cap-related for the Patriots. Certainly it is. And it is just as much for the Bucs.
The Bucs need to get themselves to that 89-percent cap floor and Mankins helps them do it. The 89-percent floor isn't for a single season but over the span of the 2013 to 2016 seasons.
So the move in Tampa goes beyond adding one of the NFL's most admired players. But who Mankins is – not how much he costs – is still the prime motivator.
"This is just a guy that we felt you couldn't pass on," Smith said. "Not only do we talk about the Pro Bowls he's gone to, but (a) team captain. Once you get a chance to know Logan, you'll see what we're talking about."
Mankins' arrival lauded in Tampa
The folks in Tampa may be expecting the saloon doors to swing open and Logan Mankins – silhouetted from behind – to block out the doorframe.

Keen's are great!
This is the 3rd pair of Keen's that we have purchased for our son! We bought the first pair because he needed a closed toe shoe for daycare and they have been so durable, easy to put on and an all around great shoe so when he grows out of one pair, we purchase a new pair!

Nat, kudos on actually doing this. I can't even imagine where I'd find the time to do something this extensive -- and I don't even have kids. Life is busy! That's why I just post my top ten in the general thread and leave it at that. If it takes you a year to post, then so be it. The fact that you even attempt this shit speaks volumes about the size and metallic nature of your testicles. Or, it may just speak volumes about your bullheaded stubbornness and general idiocy. At any rate, I'm looking forward to what else you've got to say about the year that was 2011.
I love inside jokes, I'd love to be a part of one some day.

Launchpad comes with Ableton Live Lite music software, plus it supports other grid-based music applications such as FL Studio. Use the 64-button grid to launch and manipulate clips, trigger loops, fire off effects, control your mixer, and much more. Launchpad also triggers loops and effects in the Novation Launchpad app for iPad: a totally self-standing music performance app that hosts sounds and effects.
Looking for a solution that offers clip and loop triggering, hands-on control of your DAW's parameters, and the ability to take it all on the road? The Novation Launchpad S Control Pack pairs the Launchpad S and Launch Control, plus you get custom protection sleeves for each, Ableton Live Lite, and 1GB of Loopmasters loops and sounds.
The Launchpad Mini is a compact version of the original – it has the same grid of 64 three color pads for playing loops, samples, and effects in real time. It also works together with the Novation Launchpad app for iPad.

With the end of this patch, and all the big changes that the new one is bringing, it makes sense to have perhaps a small bucket list of things to accomplish before the 10th. A few things in particular you might want to do include:
- Get your "Hordebreaker" or "Darkspear Revolutionary" title before it's gone for good!
- Make sure to pick up one of the unique items from the Darkspear Rebellion: Gahz'rooki, Griftah's Authentic Troll Shoes, Xan'tish's Flute, and more!
- The Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator is going to become more difficult to acquire, might want to get it now.
- Justice and Valor will NOT convert, so feel free to stock up!
- However, Conquest will be converted to Honor as usual, and Honor will now be 250 per 500 Justice.

You can see the update in action in the gallery below. Pirate Heaven is available today from Kalypso's own website, or any other places you'd normally grab such things, including Steam. In North America, the pack will run you $4.99 – no actual piracy allowed.%Gallery-169012%
Bracknell, UK - 23rd October 2012 – Tropico is becoming a pirate hideaway, courtesy of new DLC available now for the Windows PC version of the game. In the newly released "Pirate Heaven" DLC for Tropico 4, players can now ignore those pesky international blockades, importing goods via the new Smuggler's Hut building, and boost their naval power courtesy of the new "Sailor" character trait. As part of the new DLC, your minions will now be able to resort to piracy as a way of making quick money, though all that ship hijacking, ransoming, pillaging and plundering is sure to attract international attention (and ire), so you'll need to build up your defences to protect Tropico from invasion! Last but never least; players can dress up their female avatars with the new "Pirate Queen" outfit, giving just a bit more flair to your in-game persona.
The Pirate Heaven DLC is available now through various digital portals and the Kalypso Launcher for £3.49/€3.99 and requires the original Tropico 4 for Windows PC. The Pirate Heaven DLC will be available later this year for the console version.
Tropico 4 sees you return as El Presidente, the tyrannical (or benevolent) dictator of the island paradise of Tropico. The world is changing and Tropico is moving with the times – geographical powers rise and fall and the world market is dominated by new players with new demands and offers – and you, as El Presidente, face a whole new set of challenges. If you are to triumph over your naysayers you will need to gain as much support from your people as possible. Your decisions will shape the future of your nation, and more importantly the size of your Swiss bank account.
Tropico 4 features all new missions across new maps and includes exciting and fun new features to keep the action fresh and challenging. You can even elect ministers into power to help get your more controversial decisions passed through the government. But remember to keep your friends close and your enemies closer as everyone has an agenda!

This 1990s throwback video starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and a few other girls, who aren't Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, starts out pretty harmless—OMG, pizza!—until they start throwing fried chicken, ice cream, a whole fish, chocolate sauce, egg foo young, and pretty much every food they can list in three minutes on the pie.

IRS Advocate Services Can Help Taxpayers with Common IRS Tax Problems
An IRS advocate is a professional or company that assists individuals and businesses with their tax problems. Whether the problem is an audit or years of unfilled income tax returns, an IRS advocate will be able to assist you with questions and eventually solutions.
Why hire an IRS advocate?
The main reason taxpayers choose to hire an IRS advocate rather than solve their own tax issues is that the IRS tax code is long and confusing. There are many regulations that common people do not understand that an individual who has studied the tax code and works daily in tax related matters would be able to assist with in a more expedited fashion. Hiring an IRS advocate is something that will save you time and money. Even though services may cost a lot, in the end, the IRS collection actions would cost you much more should you remain non-compliant.
What are IRS tax collections?
Taxpayers who owe the IRS income tax debt should contact an IRS advocate immediately because delays in resolving such matters can be costly and even ruin lives. The IRS will first send several notices of the debt and eventually a notice of a tax lien. When a lien is placed on a delinquent taxpayers, the IRS "holds" their assets and accounts for thirty days waiting for a payment of the debt. If the taxpayer does not pay, or does not take necessary steps to resolve the issues with the federal government, the IRS will begin collections. IRS levies can include seizure of homes and cars, bank accounts, retirement accounts and even wage garnishment. Contacting an IRS advocate before these actions take place can help to ensure that none of these harsh steps are taken against you.
Is an IRS advocate a lawyer?
Some lawyers and law firms handle tax matters, but many IRS advocates are not lawyers and do not provide legal counsel. IRS advocates cannot represent customers before courts or in any litigation proceedings. This does not mean that some IRS advocates are not lawyers, because they are and they can also be CPAs and enrolled agents. An IRS advocate is a professional who focuses on assisting taxpayers who need to deal directly with the IRS.
For more information, contact us about how an IRS advocate can be beneficial for your tax problem. Call us today.

Fasteners are manufactured in a wide range of materials from common steel to titanium, plastic and other exotic materials. Many materials are further separated into different grades to describe specific alloy mixtures, hardening processes, etc. In addition, some materials are available with a variety of coatings or plating to enhance the corrosion resistance, or appearance of the fastener.
Fastener material can be important when choosing a fastener due to differences between materials in strength, brittleness, corrosion resistance, galvanic corrosion properties, and of course cost.
When replacing fasteners, it is generally best to match what you are replacing. Replacing a bolt with a stronger one is not always safe. Harder bolts tend to be more brittle and may fail in specific applications. Also some equipment is designed so that the bolts will fail before more expensive or critical items are damaged. In some environments such as salt water galvanic corrosion must also be considered if changing fastener materials.

Zinc Plating
- Many steel fasteners are electro-plated with zinc for better corrosion resistance. Fasteners that have been zinc plated have a shiny silver or golden appearance referred to as clear or yellow zinc respectively. They are fairly corrosion resistant but will rust if the coating is destroyed or if exposed to a marine environment.
Hot Dip Galvanizing
- Galvanizing is another coating involving the application of a layer of zinc. Hot dipped galvanizing puts the thickest possible coating on the metal resulting in superior corrosion resistance. Due to the thickness of the coating hot dipped galvanized bolts are not compatible with other nuts. Galvanized nuts are tapped slightly larger than other nuts to accommodate this coating. Hot dipped galvanized fasteners are frequently seen in coastal environments and in pressure treated lumber where the chemicals in the lumber may corrode other fasteners.
- Chrome is used in plating fasteners for its appearance. It provides similar corrosion resistance to zinc plating. The main drawback of chrome is the extremely high cost. If more corrosion resistance is required stainless steel may be chrome plated, preventing any corrosion should the chrome be penetrated.

Have your say on development at ex-Cadbury factory site in Keynsham
Posted: April 25, 2012|
RESIDENTS will be able to find out how plans to redevelop the former Cadbury factory in Keynsham are progressing.
A public exhibition on plans for the future of the Somerdale factory site will be staged by developer Taylor Wimpey on Friday and Saturday.
The exhibition at the former Peacocks shop in the High Street follows a day-long workshop earlier this month which saw residents, businesses, councillors and community groups discuss plans for the 220-acre site.
At the workshop, there were calls for improved access to The Hams and the river- bank, a new Fry Club, transport improvements and enhanced pedestrian and cycle networks. The results of the workshop will be on display at the exhibition.
Philip Court, technical director for Taylor Wimpey, said: "Masterplanning establishes the key principles that will guide and inform how a site can be developed.
"The feedback we received from the workshop has provided us with a very useful insight into local people's concerns and aspirations.
"The public exhibition is an opportunity for local residents and those with an interest in the site to come and view the plans so far, offer their comments and also learn more about how we are investing in public amenities and facilities across Keynsham."
The exhibition – which will be attended by specialist consultants and Taylor Wimpey staff – will run from 2pm until 7.30pm on Friday and 10.30am until 4pm on Saturday.

Outlaw learning on the run
The presumed reason for going to college in the first place is to learn something.
UNC-Greensboro freshman forward Tyrone Outlaw Jr. has been hitting the playbook to get a better grasp on the sport he's been into for a long time, because it's one thing to play basketball but something entirely different to play college basketball.
Outlaw was in the Smith Center on Saturday doing what he could to help UNCG deal with a motivated North Carolina team.
UNC won 81-50, which certainly wasn't the desired outcome for Outlaw, playing in the Dean Dome for the first time in his basketball career that included suiting up for Person High School in Roxboro.
But the UNCG-UNC game was an opportunity for Outlaw to take what he's been learning and apply it on a rather grand stage.
"The main thing is I had to learn how to play defense at the college level," Outlaw said. "But that was at the beginning of the season. Now, I've gotten better at it, and I can actually find the ball."
High school basketball has no shortage of one-dimensional players who either primarily are good shooters or nifty passers, or guys who aren't necessarily highly skilled yet are so fast that they're able to get to the rim and score.
College basketball, on the other hand, is full of young men who can flat-out do it all.
"You've got to learn how to play everything all at once," Outlaw said.
Outlaw's learning, UNCG coach Wes Miller said. Defense has been a struggle for the rookie, who's had to wrap his mind around seemingly simple concepts such as moving when the ball moves, Miller said.
"But he really wants to get better at it," Miller said. "He's really worked at it. He has the right attitude. If you see him today, you may not think he's there, but you should have seen him two months ago."
Offense was Outlaw's main deal in high school. He could really fill the cup and averaged 24 points a game, his Person teammates making sure the ball wound up in his hands often.
UNCG's offense doesn't run through Outlaw, so he's having to learn how to put himself in positions to score. He's averaging 8.4 points per game and against UNC scored an efficient 9 points, making 2 out of 3 3-pointers and going 3 of 4 from the foul line.
"Tyrone is a huge recruit for us," Miller said. "Really, really excited about the type of athlete he is, the way he scores the basketball, the way he gets to the offensive glass.
"I think he's got the chance to be a really special player for us, not just in the future but this year."
Person coach Charles Dacus, who was in the Dean Dome on Saturday, said he might have taught Outlaw a few things back in Roxboro but insisted that the young man was self-motivated.
The UNCG-UNC game also allowed Outlaw (6-6, 205) to once more engage with Isaiah Hicks (6-8, 220), a freshman for the Tar Heels who played at Webb High School in Oxford. Outlaw and Hicks battled on the prep level.
"I knew everything he was going to do; he probably knew everything I was going to do. It was just like flashbacks," Outlaw said. "His team came out on top (Saturday), but let's see where we are in a few years when we get better."
Hicks was the 2013 Associated Press player of the year in North Carolina and the most valuable player of the state playoffs after leading Webb to the 3-A title.
In the state championship game, Hicks scored 34 points, pulled down 30 rebounds and blocked seven shots.
Against UNCG, Hicks was 1 of 2 from the field and 3 of 4 from the foul line for a total of 5 points. He's averaging 1.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
"Isaiah is not as comfortable as he wants to be or as I want him to be, there's no question," UNC coach Roy Williams said.
Williams pointed out a time when Hicks passed up an open shot against UNCG.
"Isaiah is going to be a really good player. I love him to death. He can't be a better kid. He's going to be a really good player," Williams said. "He's coming."

There's no doubt about it: Kristen Stewart is the girl of the moment. The actress has been busy promoting her new flick Twilight — which is a wonderful guilty pleasure. (Oh, and get her on-screen look.) With each premiere and photocall, Kristen has rocked something different. Plaid, leather, stripes, fringe, and oh, Balenciaga! She pulls off disheveled and dainty, but which of Kristen's looks is most Fab?

First of all she is great and i love her style. She can act and if you only seen her in twilight then you don't know what you are talking about. That wasn't her best movies. I loved her in The Messengers and I think its called Speak and some of her other movies. As for the outfit that i choose, I have to say that i love the stripped blazer and the converse. I also love her hair.

I like that Kristen isn't afraid to be what she wants to be. She doesn't try to fit in with all of the other stars in Hollywood. She's different and I think that is what makes her so great. I think she always looks good. =] I TOTTALY AGREE WITH THIS OPINION, she is relly uniq

Well, I love her style; she's not the same cookie-cutter actress we've seen for ages now. She wears whatever she wants, and I don't think that anyone really has the right to criticize her for that. I also think she acts very well; in Twilight, there were a few slip-ups, but that's not her only role.

anyone claiming this girl can't act should watch her in "into the wild" -- she completely nails her role in that film...

The third dress is the best but her hair killed it so I had to go with the last one. She's definitely not the "girl of the moment" for me--I don't like her sense of style, especially hair. She looks unkempt.

None of them. she obviously picks out her own stuff.

It makes me sad to see her dress so rock and roll all the time because I think of her as Bella, the insecure fare-skinned girl. I need to separate the 2 but I just can't yet! She needs to represent herself better and try to look good. The white dress is the closes she comes.

The very middle one!!!

she looks so uncomfortable in all of these...except the blazer and chucks, but i don't like that look. I actually like the Balenciaga more but i picked French Connection, b/c she looks less uncomfortable in it. can't she hire someone to teach her how to pose on the rec carpets????????

the balenciaga is hot but she doesn't look comfortable in it therefore making it look all wrong on her. the chucks and the blazer are the best bet because she looks comfortable and relaxed. like she's enjoying herself. that is key to an outfit. no matter how fabulous it is, if you don't look or feel comfortable, then it looks like a wretched mess.

Kristen Stewart somehow manages to look like she just got beaten up ALL THE TIME.

i love her. she just seems so anti-hollywood starlet. im not saying it in a bad way but the reason she doesnt pull off the glam look so well is because its just not her. not her style. i think she looks kick ass in her laid back gear. she seems like a normal girl. i dig her personal style.

the fringe & balenciaga are my top 2....it's a tough decision for the two of them go see the movie! i loved it! & can't wait for the next 3
