Filing your income taxes at the beginning of each year can be a good thing, that is, if you are lucky enough to give your bank account a little boost by receiving a refund from the federal and/or state government.
Tax time can also be stressful and frustrating and it seems like things are constantly changing, now, more than ever. It's difficult to know if you have filed correctly and/or if you have maximized your return, and trying to save yourself a few extra bucks by undertaking this yourself may end up costing you even more in the long run.
This tax season, save yourself some time, money and ...

Okay let's see....Wednesday after I left here, I returned to Villa Nell'Olivetto to find everyone but Chris picking olives with Mark and his crew. The girls looked so cute with the baskets strapped around their waists. So of course, I shed my blazer and helped too. Eventually Chris joined us and we spent the next two hours picking olives, only the low branches as none of us climbed any ladders. I could have spent the entire day doing it! Around 12 though, our stomaches started to rumble, so we piled into the cars and headed for Montalcino.
BTW the navigating dot to dot (i.e., town to town) works great. We went to Montalcino, via San Giovani Di Asso, some other town, then were pretty much able to follow sings for Montalcino. We parked behind the fort in a free lot and climbed into town. Lunch was at a very small family trattoria - delicious and plentiful. Then we strolled through town, did some wine tasting (not at the fort - too crowded) but at Osteria something something (don't worry I have the names somewhere), then headed home.
Chris and I continued on the Sinalunga to the Coop to pick up something for dinner as we ended up cooking in Wed and Thursday night.
Yesterday, we met Cristina in Siena - what a trip. She is fantastic and a wonderful guide. I really do like Siena and definitely want to spend more time there. To me, it feels more of a "living city" than Florence. Oh and since you know my obsession, we did the dot to dot method again (Trequanda, Asciano, Arbia, Siena) and parked easily at the San Francesco parking outside the city walls.
We returned home early (actually our earliest night - about 5), visited the local coop for some bread but they were out and made an early dinner.
Today it is raining - that type of all day steady rain. Hey I walked 3 KM to Petroio this morning (each way), so anyway, we are taking it easy, maybe heading to Pienza to pick up some lunch munchie foods, relaxing and unfortunately packing.
Tomorrow it is back to Rome. I may try to do one more entry then. Sunday, it is back to the airport and home. Ciao

Released February 18, 2005
film series focusing on the history of Russia and the former Soviet
Union will be presented at The University of Southern Mississippi
throughout the spring 2005 semester.
Many of the films in the series received major awards
and acclaim from the international cinema industry and deal with
topics ranging from the Russian Revolution to the current conflict
between Russia and Chechen separatists. All of the films will be
shown on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Liberal Arts Building, Room
101. Admission is free.
The series includes the following titles:
Feb. 24: October (Ten Days That Shook the World) (USSR,
1927; directed by Sergei Eisenstein) A prime example of Eisenstein's
utilization of what he called "intellectual montage,"
the film focuses on Petrograd between the February and October revolutions
of 1917. The film was made in celebration of the 10th anniversary
of the Russian Revolution.
March 31: Burnt by the Sun (Russia, 1994; directed
by Nikita Mikhalkov) This film is the unforgettable story of a Soviet
hero whose happy family is suddenly targeted by Stalin's secret
police. Winner of the 1994 Cannes Grand Jury Award and the 1995
Academy Award for Best Foreign Language film, it is an indelible
account of a man dedicated to family and fatherland cruelly destroyed
by political paranoia.
April 7: Come and See (USSR, 1985; directed by Elem
Klimov) A crowning achievement of 1980s Soviet cinema and perhaps
the greatest World War II film ever made, Come and See was the winner
of the 1985 Moscow International Film Festival's Golden Prize. When
young Florya willingly joins a group of partisans fighting the Nazis
in the Soviet Republic of Belorussia, he little suspects that he
is plunging through the looking glass. Separated from his comrades
during a paratroop attack and struck deaf by German artillery, Florya
wanders a battle-scorched Russian purgatory of prehistoric forests
and manmade slaughter.
April 14: Ballad of a Soldier (USSR, 1959; directed
by Grigori Chukhrai) Russian soldier Alyosha Skvortsov is granted
a visit with his mother after he single-handedly fends off two enemy
tanks. As he journeys home, Alyosha encounters the devastation of
his war-torn country, witnesses glimmers of hope among the people,
and falls in love. This film was the winner of 1962 British Academy
of Film and Television Award for Best Film.
April 21: East/West (Est/Ouest) (France/Russia, 1999;
directed by Régis Wargnier) In June 1946, Soviet dictator
Joseph Stalin invites Russians who fled the country to return. A
talented young doctor, accompanied by his French bride, the beautiful
Marie, and their son, optimistically returns to the Soviet Union.
Their arrival is a rude one. Interrogations are followed by the
grim reality of postwar Soviet Union: shared apartments, suspicious
neighbors and lack of privacy. The young wife soon faces a terrifying
choice: to leave her husband and child for freedom or stay and confront
a grim future.
May 5: Prisoner of the Mountains (Russia/Kazakhstan,
1996; directed by Sergei Bodrov) Two Russian soldiers are taken
hostage by Chechen guerillas after a deadly ambush leaves all of
their comrades dead. Their captor, a battle-weary village elder,
wants to use them as a bartering tool to get back his own son, held
prisoner by the Russian army. But when the trade goes sour and all
trust is broken, the two soldiers realize their hours are numbered
and attempt to escape before they're forced to join their comrades
in death.
This film series is being coordinated by Dr. Elizabeth
Drummond, assistant professor of history at Southern Miss. For more

Sun Deli draws upon a substantial palette of ingredients to create its herbivorous fare. In addition to such well-known vegan brands as Daiya cheese and Gardein "chicken," the deli also offers up seitan pepperoni and sausage. Other ingredients, some of which are made inhouse, include dairy-free mozzarella, seasoned tempeh, and an almond-based ricotta. It's also worth noting that vegan versions of dishes here mostly cost the same as their meaty counterparts, and requesting a gluten-free pizza crust doesn't increase the price.
Friends Amy, Isolde and Ray joined me for a dinnertime vegan feast. First up was the $7.49 "chicken" parmesan sandwich, available on a white or wheat roll. The texture of the vegetable protein, especially when swimming in an endearingly tangy marinara sauce, was hard to distinguish from genuine poultry. The faux mozzarella had a surprisingly authentic melted texture, although it still maintained the shape of small bits of shredded cheese. This was also the most potentially problematic ingredient, as too much of this dairy substitute can create a strong, artificially creamy flavor. In this case, less is more, and our filling sandwich had the right amount of cheese to provide richness without distraction.
Next out of the oven was an $8.79 stromboli, calzone's cousin, stuffed with vegan pepperoni, sausage, onion, pepper and mozzarella. This is a gratifyingly dense turnover, with the "meats" giving off a pleasantly smoky aroma reminiscent of their cured counterparts. The crust added visual appeal with a nice gold en hue, set off by a whisper of crunchiness, and the cheese tempered the meat flavors.
Our $16.49 large white pizza with gluten-free crust was the easiest to reinterpret in a vegan version, as it contains no meat and includes such meatless toppings as olive oil, garlic and fresh basil. But it's still heavy on the cheese, and this version contained copious amounts of mozzarella and nut ricotta. The verdict on this pizza? Although I've only had a few pizzas with vegan cheese and gluten-free crust, it was difficult to tell the difference between this pie and the dairy and wheat-based one. The simulated ricotta nailed the texture of the real McCoy and possessed a compelling natural creaminess.
While there's the cynical comment that no one ever tries to make meat taste like vegetables (Vegetarian Slaughterhouse, anyone?), that misses the point of the Sun Deli. Many folks, myself included, are opting to reduce their meat consumption for reasons of health, environment and economics. Of course, I'll still cop to cravings for such things as sausage and pepperoni, and this establishment helps me happily indulge that appetite with far fewer downsides. For anyone wishing to incrementally reduce their meat intake, this is the place to enjoy veggie fare that is, in the typically understated phrasing of friend Amy, "Effing awesome!" Respond: email@example.com
Sun Deli, Pizza & Liquor 2299 Pearl St., Boulder 303-938-1128 303-938-1078Clay's Obscurity Corner Stromboli vs. calzone While the difference between a calzone and a stromboli is somewhat ambiguous, both are a type of inside-out pizza.
Some argue that shape and stuffings define each, and a stromboli may be more of a rolled affair, while a calzone involves manipulating the dough into a pocket shape. Sun Deli's calzone is filled with both mozzarella and ricotta, among other ingredients, although purists argue that ricotta is not a calzone ingredient. Also, the name stromboli derives not from the Italian volcanic island, but the 1950 neorealist film set there. Interesting choice, since neorealist films can be a wee bit depressing.

Occupy Wall Street's Breakout Stars
These are the new celebrities of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Cyberactivist group
aka, the Image
The movement's Urge-promoting, "hacktivist" group has supported the Occupy Wall Street movement almost since its inception. The group recently used its newfound fame to solicit support for a new political party that would look out for the interests of the 99 percent. Helping its cause, the group released the identity of the aforementioned Tony Bologna. Anonymous is known for wearing Guy Fawkes masks, which has made it easier to arrest them because of a circa 1845 law banning "masked gatherings."

Hong Kong Stocks Rise as Greece Bailout Tempers Oil
Hong Kong stocks rose, erasing earlier losses, as an agreement to secure a second bailout for Greece overshadowed concern that rising oil prices threaten corporate earnings.
HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's biggest lender by market value, climbed 1.3 percent. Wharf Holdings Ltd. slipped 1.1 percent after jumping 6 percent last week. Air China Ltd., the world's largest airline by market value, slipped 1.6 percent on speculation rising fuel costs will crimp earnings.
The Hang Seng Index added 0.3 percent to 21,478.72 as of the 4 p.m. close in Hong Kong, reversing losses of as much as 1 percent. The gauge rose to a six-month high on Feb. 17. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong gained 0.2 percent to 11,689.69.
"Valuations remain attractive despite recent strong gains," said Castor Pang, head of research at Core-Pacific Yamaichi International Ltd. in Hong Kong. "Investors are reluctant to put more money in the market as short-term indicators show the market is overbought. Even with a Greek bailout deal, there are still many variables in Europe, particularly with regard to refinancing for Italy and Spain."
HSBC, Esprit
Euro-area leaders today reached agreement on a second bailout package for Greece that is vital to staving off a default next month. The deal includes a 53.5 percent writedown for investors in Greek bonds, Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker, who led a meeting of finance ministers in Brussels, told reporters early this morning.
HSBC gained 1.3 percent to HK$71.70. Esprit Holdings Ltd., the Hong Kong-based clothier that counts Europe as its biggest market, rose 1.5 percent to HK$14.62.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index gained last week for a seventh week, the longest such winning streak since the period ended Oct. 15, 2010. The rally drove the gauge's 14-day relative strength index, a measure of momentum, to about 74 on Feb. 17, exceeding the threshold of 70 that indicates to some traders it's overbought.
Wharf Holdings, the fourth best performer in the Hang Seng Index this year, slipped 1.1 percent to HK$47.65. Hang Lung Properties Ltd., Hong Kong's third-largest developer by market value, dropped 1.7 percent to HK$29.35 after climbing 8 percent last week.
Transport Companies
The Hang Seng Index climbed 16 percent this year through Feb. 20 amid signs the U.S. economy is improving and on optimism Europe will contain its debt crisis. Shares in the gauge traded at 10.9 times estimated earnings, compared with 13 times for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 11 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
Transport companies declined after crude oil traded near a the highest price in nine months, sparking concern corporate profits will be hurt.
Air China declined 2 percent to HK$6.02. Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., Hong Kong's biggest carrier, fell 1.9 percent to HK$15.26. China Cosco Holdings Co., the nation's largest shipping line, decreased 3.3 percent to HK$5.02.
Futures on the Hang Seng Index expiring this month gained 0.4 percent to 21,439. The HSI Volatility Index declined 3.5 percent to 23.01, indicating options traders expect a swing of 6.6 percent in the benchmark index over the next 30 days.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Of the many items debated in the 2012 presidential campaign, there's not much talk about planes, trains, roads and bridges.
But as Superstorm Sandy reminds the world, we can't afford to do without them. So why isn't the nation's transportation infrastructure a hot topic?
Money, for one.
Neither President Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney has a good idea how to pay for what needs to be done.
Most of the transportation network was built in the last century; in some places, it dates to the 1800s. Aging highways, bridges, trains and buses are frequently in need of repair or replacement, and no longer can handle peak traffic demands. More than 140,000 bridges are structurally deficient or obsolete. The problem only will worsen as the U.S. population grows.

West Seattle traffic alert: 2 crashes, including second of the day at 35th/JuneauMay 29, 2014 at 6:52 pm | In West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 15 Comments
6:52 PM: Two crashes on major roads right now – 35th/Juneau, the second crash in that area today (the first one was in early afternoon), this time reported to be a vehicle having hit a pole, with northbound lanes blocked by the SFD response; Fauntleroy/Cloverdale, near the ferry dock. Add that to what we hear was a very slow evening commute (even after Vice President Biden's low-key visit ended) southbound from downtown and beyond, and it's apparently still tough going almost everywhere out there.
7:19 PM: At least two people were taken to the hospital, by private ambulances, from the 35th/Juneau crash. Adding a photo; the red car, at left, hit a utility pole – the silver car, at center, had even more front-end damage, primarily on the passenger side. The southbound lanes remained open, as this was indeed in the northbound lanes, but avoid the area until it's cleared – we'll be checking back. (No additional information on Fauntleroy/Cloverdale – the SFD call has closed.)

Hope everybody is OK. Was making dinner and heard the crash. Bad crash and minor damage to a third vehicle.
Comment by LyndaB — 7:13 pm May 29, 2014 #
For some reason, have been noticing quite a bit of non-attentive drivers. We have been being extremely careful to watch everyone to be sure they don't t-bone us. Just today, down below Tru-Value, we hesitated just to be sure a car would stop at the stop sign….and she did not even brake….straight through. We honked at her & she just looked at us like she did nothing wrong. We are being careful to watch those intersections as people are speeding through them without a care in the world. Seeing people on their phones not paying attention. People speeding like crazy & then getting upset because we are going the speed limit. Going up Admiral, noted some (according to sign) going 55 or 60. We had our turn signal on & stopped waiting for a lady pushing a baby across the intersection and almost got crashed into by a speeding black pickup. We had enough room to get out of the way quickly without hitting the pedestrian & told her what happened….we think she saw it too. We cannot figure out what is going on with drivers recently???? Just be careful out there and watch those other drivers. Stay safe!
do not know what happened on this accident & sorry they got hurt – hope all is well for them.
Comment by Bree — 8:25 pm May 29, 2014 #
Interesting to see these comments today. Just this afternoon I was in the Thriftway parking lot, driving slowly along the line of cars with my 89-year-old father in the car with me, when one of the parked cars began to back straight into me. Fortunately, I was able to lay quickly on the horn, and after continuing to back for a moment, the driver stopped maybe 3″ from my door. We wouldn't have been hurt, I don't think, but it would have cost someone a bundle to fix my mangled door. Wonder what's going on with all these distracted drivers recently?
Comment by Pat — 9:29 pm May 29, 2014 #
Better put a camera that gives out automatic tickets there too. Soon every light will have them… in the name of safety of course.
Comment by j — 9:45 pm May 29, 2014 #
I called 911 for the first crash at 35/Juneau and timed the response as I previously had a non existent response to a call several months ago. The first officer took 12 minutes, which seemed pretty slow to me. They then brought in two more cars to help direct traffic since 35th is so busy. Is this a slow response or is this par for the course in a city of this size? Coming home from dinner, I was amazed to see another crash at the same location, which appeared to be a bit worse.
I haven't heard any followup regarding the 35th traffic study and am well aware the WSB would cover it if there was a response, so am wondering if that was just fodder to quiet people down after the last fatality. Perhaps we should start making more noise again…
Comment by AIDM — 9:59 pm May 29, 2014 #
Noticed this too, due to congestion people are in a hurry to get stuff done. Noticed more tailgating lately, welcome to the new California.
Comment by Eaglelover — 10:05 pm May 29, 2014 #
Study not scheduled until fall, per first announcement:
I recently reported the light near Tru-Value at the foot of Edmonds and California Ave.
The light heading down Edmonds seems badly timed for the walk sign on Erskine.
They may both turn walk/red at the same time or turn red after just the walk.
Either way not a good thing.
there is their site.
Comment by patt — 10:48 pm May 29, 2014 #
The intersection of Juneau and 35th is the end of the main cut through from Delridge to 35th and even in light traffic conditions is far faster (even at residential speed limits) than either Morgan/Orchard or Genesee. Locally known as "Snake Hill" this has been a feature of WS traffic for generations and all the SDOT "traffic calming" additions have only slowed it down and moved the terminus from Raymond to Juneau. Which means it too will soon gather enough fatal accidents to get a light when the numbers come up in the spreadsheet that actually makes these decisions.
Comment by Ken — 7:54 am May 30, 2014 #
Just another anecdote to add to those here. I don't really think drivers are more distracted. I lived at 35th/Juneau for six years, and there are crashes there quite frequently. Because 35th is so busy, two-car crashes can quickly pile up into four or five car crashes.
Comment by Lindsey — 9:27 am May 30, 2014 #
This intersection 35 and Juneau have had many accidents.
Two accidents on the same spot at the same day.!!!
It need the light to stop future accidents.
Comment by Lee D. Bui — 9:44 am May 30, 2014 #
We need people to get off their phones!
It's crazy how many people I see every day driving along tapping away on a phone.
People who text and drive definitely read this blog, so tell us why you do it.
Comment by zark — 10:11 am May 30, 2014 #
My brother lives between Findlay and Juneau on 35th. We always go the one block out of our way to the light on Findlay and voila, no accident. Though there is an occasional car that runs the red light. We always go the block out of the way because it is much easier to make a left turn at the light. I see almost accidents at this intersection all the time and I wonder why they wouldn't go to the light? Much simpler.
We have yard sales at his house and another thing that amazes me is the number of people who run across the middle of the busy street and dodge cars just to go to a yard sale…go figure.
Comment by Magpie — 2:47 pm May 30, 2014 #
In addition to fast driving and distracted driving, I don't believe people are cognizant of their the own driving behavior and that of others. For instance, cars jut out on into 35th from Juneau in an effort to make the left or right. Those trying to make the left from 35th into Juneau make split second decisions and then realize, oh, s**t, there's a car there in my way.
Comment by LyndaB — 5:27 pm May 30, 2014 #
Isn't anyone else sickened at the news of more dangerous, life-threatening crashes on I-35? Why wait until one more death happens? Road diet 35th and Roxbury NOW!

50+: Iginiting a Revolution to Reinvent America by Bill Novelli with Boe Workman
How we approach the process of aging can make a huge difference in our retirement years. As we have throughout our lifetime the Baby Boomer generation is making a difference in the way we view and manage the retirement years. Bill Novelli, CEO of AARP, highlights the ways in which Boomers have been changing their world since 1947. The Boomers' approach to retirement will be no different. Bill Novelli points out that many 50+ Boomers intend to and expect to work at least part of their retirement years. The word "retirement" will be redefined by this massive group of 76 million Boomers. Political and social changes are happening and more changes are foreseen. Novelli offers his insight into the coming retirement years. He outlines changes that need to occur to accommodate this unprecedented mass of retirees. As head of AARP, Novelli, has a unique perspective on the national retirement picture.

Very well said. It's such a relief to know that there is a strong positive movement to acknowledge Babyboomers as a group separate from retirees, senior citizens, and the dreaded 50+.

|Maternal mortality and its prevention.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1809606 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Maternal mortality rates in developed countries have declined steeply during the last 50 years. The introduction of sulphonamides and blood transfusion techniques contributed much to lowering maternal mortality rates. The maternal mortality rate in The Netherlands in 1983-1988 was 8.8/100,000 livebirths. In 57% substandard care factors could be identified. This suggests that further improvement in preventing maternal mortality is possible. Maternal mortality rates in developing countries are still unacceptably high as a result of high fertility and a high risk of dying each time a woman becomes pregnant. Complications of illegal abortion are responsible for 25-50% of maternal deaths. Safe contraception could probably result in an important reduction in the number of maternal deaths, but also the provision of accessible maternal health services is essential to reduce maternal mortality in developing countries.
Physicians analyzed 1983-88 data on 99 maternal deaths in the netherlands to examine causes of death and to what degree substandard care contributed to the deaths. 65 cases were classified as direct maternal deaths, 14 ad indirect maternal deaths, and 20 as fortuitous maternal deaths. They did not include the 20 fortuitous deaths in the maternal mortality rate which stood at 8.8/100,000 live births. The physicians knew all the details in 66 maternal deaths. They identified substandard factors in 57% of these cases. Most of the cases associated with substandard care were women with pregnancy induced hypertension (eclampsia). The substandard care factors included patient or physician's delay, wrong diagnosis, insufficient knowledge of proper treatment, operating without knowledge of clotting disorders, interventions on patients in an unstable condition, inadequate postpartum and postoperative surveillance, and lack of organization. The leading direct cause of maternal death was eclampsia (34%) then thromboembolism (21%), and obstetric hemorrhage (19%). 41% of the women who died from eclampsia also suffered from cerebrovascular hemorrhage. Only 2 women died from septic abortion. The major indirect cause of maternal death was cerebrovascular hemorrhage (57%). Among the direct maternal deaths, 52% had disseminated intravascular coagulation and 25% had a cesarean section. As recently as 1935 in developed countries, puerperal sepsis was the leading cause of maternal deaths (50%) then obstetrical hemorrhage and eclampsia (25%). Mortality rates began to fall with the introduction of sulphonamides and later penicillin. In developing countries, however, maternal mortality remains very high. High rates are due to high fertility and a high risk of death each time a woman is pregnant. Availability of safe contraception and elimination of illegal abortions would reduce maternal mortality considerably.

I'm still studying photography so I still need to learn more about the art but I'm going to give you my opinion anyway. I would crop the dragonfly on the right hand side of the picture as the space on the right is being wasted and is pointless. I would have liked to see more of the stick. The DOF is good and I'm glad that you managed to focus on the face. Hope this helps and lets see what others have to say.
Thanks Trevor
I agree with Trevor, compositionally you have way far to much space to the right.
It would also be better to get a little closer to blur more of the background with a smaller aperture (bigger no.) for more dof
Thanks for your advise
Aggree with Trevor.
When shooting close up's I set my lens to manual, focus on the subject, if it moves with the wind etc, all you do is sway your body back or foreward and press the shutter button when the subject comes in focus. Give it a try.
Thanks Reg. I will try

Welcoming Spirit
For each of the past 21 years, it has been my good fortune to lead a group of graduate law students from Loyola University Chicago School of Law to London. Our groups of about 20 law students, faculty and friends arrive each year in late December and stay for about two weeks. Since the beginning, we have stayed at Goodenough College. My expectation was that the College would be our headquarters - a well-located place to stay, conveniently near both the Inns of Court and the majesty of Central London. However, I did not expect that it would become our home, where staff members became friends and partners in our success, and where we would feel that we belonged. Over the years, our accommodations have changed, from the old Annex, to the years in the London House, to the modern rooms at the Club. But while the rooms have changed, the really important things have remained constant: the welcoming spirit, the friendship of the staff and administration, and the abiding sense that each year, Goodenough College is as committed as I am to the success of our program. I will always be grateful to my friends at Goodenough and I can't wait to get back.
James Faught, Loyola University Chicago

What causes back pain and increase in blood pressure? 6 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
In hyperparathyroidism, the parathyroid glands make too much of their hormone. It affects a number of body systems and can cause skin changes, including brittle nails and itching.
CAD occurs when one or more of the coronary arteries begin to narrow due to the build-up of cholesterol and plaque. The blockage of one of these arteries leads to a heart attack.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
A clot blocks the blood flow to the heart (heart attack), and damages heart muscle. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and a blue or grey tinge to the skin.
Cushing syndrome is when your body has abnormally high levels of a hormone called cortisol. This can occur due to overuse of corticosteroid medication, malnutrition, alcoholism, or other factors.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common kind of kidney cancer found in adults. Often aggressive, it occurs when cancer cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the tubules of the kidney, causing many possible symptoms.
