Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
I HIGHLY recommend that you hire Next Exit to shoot your wedding, engagement shoot and any other life event you might have!!!
We interviewed or received quotes from over 10-15 photographers. This was probably one of the harder decisions we made during the whole wedding process. There was no question that once we spoke to Adi and Cat that we wanted to hire them, it was a matter of are they worth going slightly over our allotted photography budget.
YES times a million.
Did I mention we were planning this LA wedding from Chicago? Throughout the process I turned to Cat for guidance. From recommendations on certain vendors to the perfect day of timeline. She was always quick to reply and gave GREAT suggestions.
Adi, her husband was assigned to our wedding with his assistant Lee as the second photographer. We met Adi a few months before our wedding for our engagement shoot. This was such a fun day for us. We had never taken any professional pictures together so we were a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera at first. Adi did a great job easing us into things and captured some very memorable shots for us. He was super open and told us funny stories about his experience as a photographer and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with him!
Adi was great. He's stern in the sense that he get's things going and moving and people in place, but no one was ever offended or thought he wasn't nice. In fact my father-in-law came up to us during the wedding and was thoroughly impressed with how he handled all the HUGE family shots.
The finished product could not be better. He took one of my favorite pictures EVER that we plan to blow up huge as art!! He's really talented!
Looking back, their packages ARE reasonable considering their among the top wedding photographers in Los Angeles! I am SO thankful we decided to go with Next Exit and I highly recommend you do the same!
Thank you Cat and Adi, for everything!
The Next Exit team is wonderful! They surpassed all expectations and made our wedding day so memorable. From our engagement pictures to the wedding day, they were professional, kind, and so helpful!
Wonderful! Adi is extremely professional and incredibly talented. Our friends and family love the pictures, as do we. He made our wedding so special. I cannot recommend him more highly!
Looking for a photographer was my husband's #1 priority. He looked at hundreds of portfolios before landing on Next Exit. From the time we first contacted them to our wedding day, they were professional, friendly and responsive. Our "teaser" images were up so quickly, and they're exactly what we expected - sharp, colorful, deliberate images. Adi & Cat have a rigor and an attention to detail that sets their photography apart from most. You can see from their work that they have an uncanny knack for capturing a moment. Next Exit are hands down our favorite vendor.
The first time we talked to Cat and Adi, we were hooked. They were so friendly and easy to communicate with. My husband and I had so many last minute changes to our contract that they handled immediately and with ease, which was a source of comfort while we rushed to put the last minute details of our wedding together! The second Adi walked into the bridal suite to take pictures he became the director of the wedding! He was a riot - energetic, confident, hilarious, and wonderful at building rapport! By the end of the night we considered him a friend and loved having him around. Seeing our pictures blew us away! They looked like they came straight out of a bridal magazine! The clarity and quality of the film as well as the composition was truly art. He captured the true emotional euphoria in some of the most precious moments of our wedding. We will always be grateful to Cat and Adi at Next Exit for their amazing work.
OMG!! Our pictures are 10 times more amazing then we ever expected from Adi at Next Exit! He knew all the great places to go shoot before the ceremony and was able to get all our family shots done so my husband and I could enjoy some of our cocktail hour! They captured every moment and were fantastic to work with!!
We knew we wanted Next Exit Photography as our wedding photographers the minute we saw their portfolio. Their pictures are beautiful, and they are best at capturing all the best moments. The entire Next Exit team is responsive and professional.
The morning of the wedding, the team showed up on time and ready to work. Normally, that would be expected, but knowing that Adi had just come back from a two week vacation overseas, I thought he might be tired or groggy. In fact, I have no idea how he had so much energy the entire day! Throughout the entire day, Adi also took the time to make sure that I was ok, asking me if I needed anything, and making sure I wasn't too overwhelmed with everything that was going on. And since the weather was quite hot that day, he also made sure to keep me in the shade as much as possible and made sure I wasn't overheated. That was unexpected, and totally sweet of him. Any pictures we wanted that day, Adi made it happen.
We cannot wait to see our wedding pictures, but having already gotten our engagement pictures back, we KNOW the photos will be amazing!! THANK YOU ADI AND THE NEXT EXIT TEAM!!!
Okay, first of all, I will be the first to admit this was the largest line item in our budget other than our food / reception dinner cost. But what is the one thing you are going to have after the "day of" your wedding? Your photographs! And my fiance' and I conducted extensive research to find the perfect photographer in all of L.A. I thought it was funny that he was so interested in helping me select this one vendor, but I am so glad we spent the time and learned about Adi and Cat, the husband and wife team that are Next Exit Photography.
Simply put, we thought they had THE BEST photos in their extensive portfolio - excellent in-focus composition (what's up with all these blurry "trendy" wedding pics lately?) while capturing the EMOTIONS, which were also very important to us. And after we met with Cat in-person, we felt her expertise as a former wedding planner and very seasoned photographer was a win-win for us. FYI, Cat was the lead photographer for our big day (she hired a second photographer to accompany her), though Adi her husband is available and does either separate weddings, or you can pay more and get them BOTH.
We opted to purchase both an engagement session and one extra hour of coverage for the wedding day as "extras," and I would spend this money again. The engagement session loosened us up and prepared us for wedding day photos, not to mention we got some AMAZING photos I was able to use for the wedding day, newspaper announcement, etc.
Another couple of bonuses for us:
- We had a rather large wedding party, a couple of divorces/remarriages with our families, and Cat somehow successfully got all of our family photos done in less than an hour prior to our ceremony. She is assertive, which was exactly what we needed to get the pics we wanted!
- We lost our natural lighting between the ceremony and reception, and Cat raced to help get us the biggest bang for our buck prior to pulling out the lighting kit (still great quality though).
Where to begin? Next Exit is amazing. I was referred to Next Exit by three separate people which said a lot to me. Cat was our photographer and from our very first meeting she was professional, charming, down-to-earth and very helpful. When I first started planning my wedding I had no idea what I was doing or what I wanted but as soon as I met Cat I knew we were in good hands. I could always depend on a prompt and helpful reply from the Next Exit staff. They proactively reached out to me to make sure they had a list of shots I wanted which was incredibly helpful during the hectic weeks leading up to the wedding. This is what you want in a partner.
The day of the wedding Cat just rocked. She helped navigate us through the schedule and provided great advice along the way. We must have gotten married on the hottest day of the year and even through the sweltering heat and a "backseat driver" or two, Cat and her assistant (I am so sorry to have forgotten his name) remained calm, cool and professional.
Of course the piece de resistance are the gorgeous, unbelievably breathtaking photos. I told Cat, the pictures are brighter, beautiful versions of all of the memories I hold so dear. I must have poured through all of the photos at least 10 times the night we got the pictures back. My husband and I don't always like taking pictures but Cat and her team made us feel comfortable and the photos are amazing. I cannot recommend Next Exit more highly. You cannot go wrong with them!
Adi and Harrison were AWESOME to work with!! We had a great time and Adi really put us at ease while still keeping everyone organized and setting up some really fun and creative shots. We spoke with Cat initially who was very professional and informative. They made a point to ask us what we wanted and worked with our budget without trying to push us to spend more. To be fair, we haven't seen our pictures yet. However, the shots that he shared off his camera were Gorgeous and we can't wait to see more! Our exprience working with Next Exit thus far has been first rate!!!
Our photos looked like they were straight out of a magazine. At least that's what I kept hearing from people.
Cat and Adi did an incredible job from the first phone call about potentially working together, to the visit to their studio to review work samples, our engagement session and of course the wedding.
My husband has the tendency to loose patience while being photographed. Adi picked up on this and kept the family photo session as short as possible, but then came and got my husband and I during a lull in activities to go take more couple shots. Breaking the photo session up into smaller chunks saved my husband's sanity and ensured we still had all the photos we could hope for. I did not want to do a "first look," which I know makes wedding photographers crazy, but Adi worked with us and made sure we got everything we wanted.
My home is now covered in all of the photos Next Exit took at our wedding. Treasured memories that we will have for a lifetime!!
In addition to wedding day coverage, we purchased an engagement session. Do not skip out on this important session. Not only do you get more great photos, but you get used to being photographed together.
Cannot recommend Next Exit enough!
Cat and Adi are beyond phenomenal, I agree with so many of the reviews here. The photos they take are amazing, I have yet to see a wedding I didn't LOVE. My friends called me the instant they saw the photos and marveled at how well he captured the moment and at their beauty. Adi took control of the day, made everyone laugh, put me at ease and made everything run smoothly. I can't say enough good things about them. HIRE THEM!!
Gorgeous photos; professional; didn't miss a thing; knows how to get the perfect photo and knows which shots to capture; so easy to work with!
Next Exit did a great job of photographing our wedding. They are very professional, know what they are doing, and are not over-priced. I would definitely recommend them.
Cat & Adi are the best. Not only are they tremendously talented photographers, but their professionalism and personalities are wonderful too. I've been a huge fan of NextExit for years and knew the minute we got engaged which photographers we would be hiring. They're super creative with styling the photos and work with each couple to make sure they're comfortable with having their photos taken. Additionally, they whipped everyone into shape to make sure we had the photos we wanted. I've only seen a few teasers from our wedding and I cannot wait to see the full set!!! Thanks to NextExit for giving us our tangible memories from our wedding!
Next Exit is AWESOME. Cat and Adi and their team are so incredibly talented, that booking them for our wedding may have been one of the best decisions we made. Adi and his team shot our July wedding this year at the St. Regis, and when I saw our online gallery, I couldn't believe how breathtaking all of the shots were. The photos went above and beyond anything I had imagined, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
On top of that, Adi was such a blast to work with on our big day. He made all of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We felt very relaxed and confident because his experience is so evident from the second you meet him. He was even willing to get in the dirt (literally!) to capture that perfect shot. Adi and his team had so many creative ideas, that when we saw our images, they were not only beautiful, but unique.
Cat is also so sweet and has also been an incredible pleasure to work with. She and Nicole are so quick respond to any questions you might have--I've gotten emails from Cat at midnight in response a question I had sent just 5 minutes prior! Needless to say, I was impressed. We'll be ordering our albums from them shortly, and are so excited to get a tangible album that we can show off to all of our family and friends. I would highly recommend Next Exit. They're amazing :)

Giving gifts of inner light during holidays
By: Rev. Catherine Linesch
Unitarian Universalists honor a wide variety of stories and celebrations, as we celebrate the hope and promise of the season. We pause with the rhythms of the earth, in the dark stillness. We rejoice that the solstice will come once again, and the daylight will increase. We celebrate the teachings and spirit of Jesus, and rededicate ourselves to bringing this spirit into the world, in service to humanity. We revel in stories and actions that speak of bringing more light into our world! At this time of year I like to take a time to gather with a circle of people to reflect. We ask the question: What wishes to be born with the coming light? I pass out little suns that have been cut out from shiny golden paper. We each hold one in our hand. We take a quiet time together to contemplate that which we would like to have grow in our lives, with the coming light. One woman responds: "I see each sense of security that is being peeled away as an invitation to step closer into relationship with others." A man speaks forth: "May my invention bring pure water to all people." Another: "May the challenges that I face help me understand the most important things in life." As our voices commingle, we set our quiet courses to serve the inner light that is being born within and among us now. I leave with a star in my hand that holds my hope and prayer. I place this star inside the cabinet that holds spices and vitamins. I open it daily. The star always offers a delightful surprise. It reminds me to express my light and vision. This year I am giving stars to friends and family, with a little message to each person. One message reads, "Your passion for turtles and succulents is educational and inspiring. You are helping to keep them alive." I write to a precious elder: "Thank you for your boundless goodwill." To a friend: "Your gift of insight has helped me to see things in a way that I value." I suggest that this star may be affixed to a place where it can be seen regularly, perhaps on the bathroom mirror. May it be a symbol of inner light, and the gifts we give one another each day. I invite you to pause for a moment, and to nurture and celebrate the light growing in your life. May we cherish our greatest gifts, and be renewed. You are invited to join us as at a Christmas Eve service for all ages, at 5 p.m. Dec. 24. You may also wish to join us as we celebrate the Winter Solstice at 10 a.m. on Dec. 21. For more info on services and programs, go to www. auburnareauu.org. Rev. Catherine Linesch is pastor of the Sierra Foothills Unitarian Universalists in Auburn.

MAAS, SAMUEL (1810–1897). Samuel Maas, ship chandler and land investor, was born in Meinbeim, Baden, Germany, on March 1, 1810. He was educated in Europe and in the 1830s immigrated to the United States; he lived first in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and later in South Carolina, where he had relatives. His first attempt to move to Texas ended in failure: he loaded a schooner with lumber for building a house and set sail for Galveston, but a storm wrecked the ship off the Florida Keys, and Maas had to swim ashore. He arrived in Nacogdoches County in 1836, became fluent in Spanish, and found work translating Spanish land titles into English. After 1839 he lived in Galveston and operated mercantile establishments there and in Houston. He sailed to Europe many times to conduct trade for Texas, and he held a letter of recommendation from Sam Houston to Ashbel Smithqqv dated July 21, 1843, in which Houston referred to him as Captain Maas. Maas traded for and with the colonizer Henri Castro, Ashbel Smith, chargé d'affaires to England and France from 1842 to 1844, and Sam Houston. In 1844, on a trip to Germany, he met and married Isabella Offenbach (see MAAS, ISABELLA OFFENBACH), an opera singer and sister of composer Jacques Offenbach. Together they arranged for opera to be performed in Galveston and wrote newspaper reviews of musical performances. Maas died in Galveston on January 10, 1897, at age eighty-seven.

NEWTOWN, Conn. - - Connecticut state police say multiple 30-round magazines and hundreds of bullets found at elementary school where 26 were killed.
State Police Lt. Paul Vance also said Sunday that authorities have publicly identified the gunman in the school rampage as Adam Lanza. They say his mother, Nancy, as was one of his victims.
Vance also detailed the guns found at the school. He says Lanza had two handguns, a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9 mm, and a Bushmaster assault rifle that was used for nearly all his killings.
The Bushmaster is a type of gun commonly seen at competitions and was the type used in the 2002 sniper killings in the Washington area.
A fourth weapon, a shotgun, was found in the car Lanza drove to the school.

Orlando, visualize this rapidly approaching week: Start with Saturday, Dec. 26, the day after Christmas, and end with Friday, Jan. 1, the first day of the new year.
What does that week mean to you, Orlando?
It could be the most exciting — and competitive — week for sports in Orlando history. Here's why:

Early Settlement of Rapa Nui (Easter Island)
Martinsson-Wallin, Helene, Crockford, Susan J., Asian Perspectives: the Journal of Archaeology for Asia and the Pacific
RAPA NUI, THE SMALL REMOTE ISLAND that constitutes the easternmost corner of the Polynesian triangle, was found and populated long before the Europeans "discovered" this part of the world in 1722. The long-standing questions concerning this remarkable island are: who were the first to populate the island, at what time was it populated, and did the Rapa Nui population and development on the island result from a single voyage? Over the years there has been much discussion, speculation, and new scientific results concerning these questions. This has resulted in several conferences and numerous scientific and popular papers and monographs. The aim of this paper is to present the contemporary views on these issues, drawn from the results of the last 45 years of archaeological research on the island (Fig. 1), and to describe recent fieldwork that Martinsson-Wallin completed on Rapa Nui.
Results from the Norwegian Archaeological Expedition to Rapa Nui in 1955-1956 suggest that the island was populated as early as c. A.D. 400 (Heyerdahl and Ferdon 1961: 395). This conclusion was drawn from a single radiocarbon date. This dated carbon sample (K-502) was found in association with the so-called Poike ditch on the east side of the island. The sample derived from a carbon concentration on the natural surface, which had been covered by soil when the ditch was dug. The investigator writes the following:
There is no evidence to indicate that the fire from which the carbon was derived actually burned at the spot where the charcoal occurred, but it is clear that it was on the surface of the ground at the time the first loads of earth were carried out of the ditch and deposited over it. (Smith 1961: 388)
This sample is dated to 1570 [+ or -] 100 B.P. and it is so far the earliest date from an excavated site on the island. Using a calibration program, this date is estimated to be cal A.D. 320-670 at the 95 percent confidence interval. (This date and the following A.D. dates were calibrated using the computer program Oxcal. v.2.18 at two sigmas.)
Two worked obsidian pieces, five obsidian chips, three sling stones, a basalt sinker or anchor, and three adzes were found during the excavation of the ditch, but none of them was found in direct association with the early dated carbon sample. The butt end of a chipped adz with triangular cross section (type 2-A) and a worked piece of obsidian, probably a side scraper, were found in the mound that covered the early dated carbon sample. Another carbon sample (K-501) from the middle section of the ditch is dated to 280 [+ or -] 100 B.P. This corresponds to a date of cal A.D. 1450-1890, which is more congruent with the oral traditions concerning the use of the ditch during the war between the "long ears" and "short ears" (Englert 1974:98). A long-standing idea is that the ditch actually, was used in this war between the two groups of people on Rapa Nui. However, the investigator of the ditch, Carlyle Smith, has presented a new idea suggesting that it may have been used for irrigation and as earth ovens for the workers in the quarries of Rano Raraku (Smith 1990). In 1991, Patricia Vargas of the University of Chile carried out a new excavation of the ditch, but so far no dates or other results have been published from this excavation (Van Tilburg 1994:78).
During the past 45 years, there have been several archaeological excavations on the island that have broadened knowledge about its prehistoric society. To date, well over 100 [sup.14]C dates and many more obsidian hydration dates have been performed on samples of prehistoric relevance (Tables 1-3). Among these dated samples, there are only three that date prior to or near A.D. 400. Investigators have rejected two of these early dates. The third date derives from the Poike ditch, which has been discussed above. For the period A.D. 400-800, there are four dated samples that may fall into this range. …

When we lived in California I was always worried about the safety of my family members. Just too much was going on around me. I wanted my children to have some freedom to be with their friends and do fun teenage things, but their safety was always on my mind. It was hard sometimes to let them go with their friends and be a teenager. The mall was the worst. So when we moved here to upstate, they enjoyed a little more freedom but I'm sure I made them crazy always wanting to be sure they were where they were supposed to be. This app would have been perfect for me.

A week-long medical malpractice trial in Sebring ended with a jury awarding a doctor's former patient $250,000 in damages. The victim, Galen Martin, accused Dr. Jose R. Thomas-Richards and Lakeview Occupational and Industrial clinic of negligence in a bicep surgery gone wrong in March 2003.
According to court records, Martin injured his left bicep tendon in 2003 while lifting a bucket of oil at work. During the correctional surgery, Thomas-Richards reportedly reattached the tendon at the wrong location. Martin claims that Thomas-Richards attempted to hide the results of the failed surgery after realizing the mistake he had made during the first surgery.
The plaintiff went to the University of Florida Medical Center for a second opinion and was told by doctors of the mistake. Following the successful second surgery and additional rehabilitation, Martin was left with "permanent pain and permanent loss of sensation and partial use and function of his upper left extremity."
Awarded by the jury to Martin was $17,600 for past medical expenses and lost earnings. The remaining $232,400 was given to Martin to cover the resulting bodily injury, resulting pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of capacity for enjoyment of life.

What the hell is she doing to herself? Reading a "150 ways to be ugly" manual?
Damn she went to hell all in one shot.
No need to worry bout the TSA singling her out.
"Bitch, just please get on the plane now. Don't take those boots off… just go"
Stealth boots designed to blend in at the airport . . .
remember that time she sucked Vincent Gallo's dick on camera for the movie Brown Bunny?
(I'm making it my thing that everyone know about that)
I saw that scene and thought it'd be a good idea to watch the entire movie. It was NOT. LFMF.
She swallowed every drop too. At least she's not a spitter.
Yeah, she guzzled it like a champ.
Funny thing is when she realized that she'd just filmed a porn movie scene, she started claiming she and Gallo were dating at the time, so it wouldn't look like she'd sucked a strangers dick on camera. Gallo responded by saying "nope, we never dated".
Dog fucking ugly chick hipstering herself to some sort of attractiveness (is this a word? dunno, don't fucken care neitherer)
Damn, in New York even the ATM's holla at bitches.
In every picture like this, there's always an airport kiosk saying it all on its monitor.
You know things are rough when you're forced to cut your own hair.
Maybe Emo Phillips cut her hair.
Oh hey, you were great in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
I never understood why this chick is considered a fashion icon. She dresses like someone's crazy aunt from a small town.
Add Anna Wintour's hairbob, the Olson twins, and Donatella Versace to the list. Those bitches look freaky.
I am guessing she's not going to get the J Woww pat down. She may get a trip to a homeless shelter though.
Which one is this? Dumb, or Dumber?
The fact that she is considered a fashion maven proves to me that I do not and will never understand fashion, so there's no point even trying, and now I will don my best quilted poncho and retire to the sofa with a pint of Ben and Jerry's.
She looks like a creepy candy van man.
tiptoe through the tulips…with me!
I must admit Emo Philips does NOT look 55.
Looks like she got an upgrade from a shopping cart!
I am pretty impressed at how she matches the patter of her boots to the garbage cans. That's gangster.
Why wear a disguise when no one knows who you are anymore?

Japan, the United Kingdom, France, South Korea and China were also among the leading countries using tax as a tool to drive sustainable corporate behavior, according to the index. Key policy areas explored in the index include energy efficiency, water efficiency, carbon emissions, green innovations and green buildings.
"The KPMG Green Tax Index provides important directional insight for corporate sustainability decision makers, CFOs and board members into how countries are using taxes to influence corporate behavior," said John Gimigliano, principal-in-charge of sustainability tax in the Washington National Tax practice of KPMG LLP. "Japan, for example, tops the rankings in its promotion of tax incentives for green vehicle production, while the United States favors a comprehensive system of renewable energy tax incentives. As a result, we're seeing more green cars coming out of Japan and dramatic growth in the U.S. renewable sector."
"These activity-based rankings can be of value to corporate sustainability decision-makers as they allocate budgets and evaluate investments around the world," said John Hickox, advisory partner and U.S. practice leader for Climate Change & Sustainability Services at KPMG LLP.
The KPMG index identified over 200 individual tax incentives and penalties of relevance to corporate sustainability. At least 30 of these have been introduced since January 2011, reflecting the quickening pace of green investment globally.
The KPMG Green Tax Index – Overall Country Rankings
South Korea
South Africa
*Scoring: The KPMG Green Tax Index attributes scores to green tax incentives and penalties according to arguable value and potential to influence corporate behavior. Scores should be taken as indicative, not absolute, in providing a view of governments with the most active and developed green tax systems in place.
U.S. Ranking
The United States tops the KPMG Green Tax Index ranking primarily due to its extensive program of federal tax incentives for energy efficiency, renewable energy and green buildings.
According to the KPMG Green Tax Index, the U.S. tax code provides a range of tax credits, including a production tax credit on renewable energy and tax incentives construction of efficient buildings.
The United States uses green penalties less than other Western developed nations apart from Canada. When green tax penalties alone are considered, the United States drops to 14th.
"The KPMG Green Tax Index demonstrates how important it is for corporations to make sure their head of sustainability and their head of tax are talking," said KPMG's Gimigliano. "At many companies these functions may have never met. One critical lesson from the Green Tax Index is that for companies to enhance the return from its green spend, the tax and sustainability functions should collaborate before the investment decision is made."
"Green investment continues to gain momentum globally and the KPMG Green Tax Index provides a greater understanding of the entire financial picture of green investments, pre- and post-tax," added KPMG's Hickox.
Ranking of Additional Global Economies
"The very investments that can drive change and secure competitive advantage may never be made if green tax systems are not fully understood and used," said KPMG's Gimigliano.
"Investments that struggle to make a case on a pre-tax basis can flourish after green tax analysis. Companies should not underestimate the potential of green tax incentives to deliver efficiency and productivity benefits, drive innovation and contribute to the bottom line."
About the KPMG Green Tax Index
The KPMG Green Tax Index focuses on 21 major economies around the world that KPMG International believes represent a major share of global corporate investment activity. A high ranking in the Index does not necessarily mean that a country is "greener" than others. It means that the government is more active than others in using the tax system as a tool to influence corporate behavior and achieve green policy goals.
A lower ranking does not mean that a government has no green tax or incentive instruments in place. Every nation listed on the KPMG Green Tax Index uses green taxes and incentives to an extent worthy of investigation by corporate tax and sustainability professionals. Countries in which the government does not use green taxes or incentives at all, or does so only minimally, have not been included in the sample of countries selected for review in the Index.
Scoring has required some discretion and judgment to be used and so scores should be taken as indicative, not absolute, in providing a view of those governments with the most active and developed green tax and incentive systems in place. Full details of the scoring methodology can be found at www.kpmg.com/greentax.

PESHAWAR, Sept 28: Businessmen on Friday accused security personnel manning checkposts in tribal areas of corruption, saying goods transport vehicles moving between Afghanistan and Pakistan were allowed to move on only after their drivers offered bribe.During a meeting with State and Frontier Regions (Safron) Minister Shaukatullah Khan here on the Tribal Areas Chamber of Commerce and Industries (TACCI) premises here, they also complained about inefficiency of the Civil Secretariat's line departments and other developing agencies operating in Fata, and demanded announcement of a special package for promotion of trade and industries in the tribal region.
Some participants said security personnel 'charged' Rs15,000 from a truck at Torkham checkpost and that each trucker transporting export goods paid Rs1,000 at each checkpost in Fata and Rs3,000 to the respective tehsildar.
They declared personnel manning checkposts along Peshawar-Torkham Highway extortionists.
Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry vice president Senator Ghulam Ali, who is also a member of TACCI, criticised the Civil Secretariat, its line departments and Fata Development Authority for poor performance and said they should pack up if they couldn't deliver.
He said despite availability of funds, no mega project had been completed for many years in Fata.
Mr Ali said former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor Iftikhar Hussain Shah had sanctioned Rs5 million for construction of TACCI building, but the Civil Secretariat was creating hurdles to it.
He said work on Marble City near Mohmand Agency began six years ago but had yet to be completed.
The senator said extension of sales tax to Fata had resulted in closure of several local big and small industrial units.
He said six major cooking oil manufacturing units, which annually paid Rs7 billion customs duty to the government, had shut down the shop after imposition of sales tax. He proposed to place a ban on lease of mines.
Mr Ali demanded that Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf extend tax exemptions and concessions for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Fata traders and industrialists for another two years.
Akbar Khan, a businessman from Peshawar, proposed that the federal government introduce credit facility in Fata to promote business activities in the region. He also suggested that the government set up a Fata development bank.
Minister Shaukatullah, too, expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the Fata line departments and developing agencies.
He urged the Civil Secretariat and other agencies to expedite work on ongoing development schemes and help local investors create employment opportunities in the region.
The minister assured businessmen that he would take up their grievances with the governor and the president for corrective measures.
He said terrorism had taken a heavy toll on the life of Fata residents by destroying local socioeconomic conditions.
Mr Shaukatullah said the federal government was aware of the hardships faced by Fata people and was spending huge sums of money to address them.
The minister said the government had accorded top priority to promotion of education and employment in Fata and was introducing revolutionary reforms there to reorganise administrative structure.
He said he would speak to the prime minister to announce a special package for Fata trade and industry.
He issued orders on the spot to address grievances of tribal traders and industrialists.
Speaking on the occasion, Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry vice president Zubair Ali said business and trade activity in Fata had suffered immensely due to militancy and military operation against it.
He said a few industries, which were operational in tribal areas, had shut down its shop due to the delicate security situation in the region. He said the federal government neither took any steps to address concerns of the trading community nor did it give them any compensation.
He said there were no dearth of resources but the federal and provincial government should jointly work to plan Fata development.
"Improving security situation in tribal areas is a pre-requisite for economic growth," he said.
Mr Ali criticised bureaucracy for creating hurdles to promotion of trade and industry and said officials' job should be to improve governance not run industries.
Some speakers demanded establishment of a Fata development bank, early completion of the marble city, withdrawal of sales tax on goods, and supply of electricity and gas to tribal industries.

TUCSON, Ariz. The second-to-last act Solomon Hill made in McKale Center was his only mistake. It was a missed free throw. Other than that, well, he was all but perfect. And although Arizona is still a work in-progress with a long five months ahead, it did look pretty good in its 98-60 win against Chico State in its final exhibition game before Sunday's season-opener against Charleston Southern. Hill, Arizona's senior beacon, was one missed free throw away from having a near flawless night, going 2 for 2 from the floor and 13 for 14 from the free throw line. As he pointed out he was a little "Derrick Williams-like" comparing his statistics to former UA star Williams, who often gathered his points from the line with some help from the floor. "I hope he can continue with that," Arizona coach Sean Miller said, with a smile. Hill will never be mistaken for Williams, UA's rock and All-American two years ago, but Hill will be almost as important. "I'm just letting it come to me and ...

Good place for an overnight. Across the street from the trading post. No restrooms or showers but the trading post does have a bathroom open to the public.
Very simple place. - twowoofs

The camp area was crowded and rough. However the Lodge, Dining and Gift Shop at the Trading Post across the street was very nice. I would recommend the Lodge but only stay at camp area for a night while passing through the area as it is close to East entrance to the Grand Canyon. - CorkySue

Very basic campground, but easy enough to get in/out with pull thrus. Simply drive in and pick a site, then walk across the street to the gift shop to pay. The gift shop is huge, and you absolutely must try the Navajo tacos and the Navajo stew they serve at the restaurant. Very authentic fry bread fluffy and crispy served with warm honey. Great stop for a day trip to the south rim. Could not get any internet/cell reception with our devices. They observe the same time zone as Arizona, although on Navajo land. We'll be back for the tacos even if we don't stay overnight again. - cherrytree

Southwest Florida International Airport is competing against 19 other airports in an online contest for "Best U.S. Airports for Art."
The south Fort Myers airport was named because of the Alliance for the Arts' "Art in Flight" program, which has brought the sprawling "Dawn's Forest" sculpture and other artwork to the airport.
The Louise Nevelson sculpture is on loan from Artis-Naples, where the sculpture was previously displayed in the Baker Museum. ...

Bangalore Ashram, India
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar told devotees not to worry as he is safe.
In the company of those who practice meditation and yoga, any kind of animosity is dissolved. Meditation and Sadhna is the only way to finish the animosity in the world today. This evening, a terrorist entered the Ashram. He fired a shot but it didn't cause much harm to anyone. His heart also got transformed after coming in this field of spiritual energy. The effect of divine energy is such that it transforms all the negative tendencies in the mind. He also dropped his wish to cause much harm. Whatever has been said in Yogasutras,Tat sanidho vair tyaga, is very true – One gets free from the feeling of animosity in the company of truth, in the company of those who practice meditation. So, this message of yoga and meditation is to be taken in every house across the country. Such an incident also happened when we were to celebrate silver jubilee. Some people tried to threaten us, and asked us not to do any function. But our conviction was so strong, and I knew that the function would surely take place.
Some naxalites are coming to Ashram in few days. They expressed their wish to meet me. They will sit with us and participate in the satsang, any negative feeling they may have will be transformed, and they will blossom like flowers. So, I welcome all those who are involved in any kind of violent actions. Transformation happens in this divine energy.
People often ask me about the need of publicity and spreading this knowledge, to which I say it is not possible to have a peaceful society unless this knowledge reaches everybody. I don't need anything for me. But it is necessary to bring peace in the society. That is why it is so necessary for each one of us to work for welfare of the society. If each one takes responsibility to bring spread this knowledge, how beautiful this society will be. Isn't it? So, move ahead knowing that you have a shield of divine energy which is protecting you.

We love readers, and we love sharing the gems we find in the library, in the book drop and from speaking with you, our patrons. Here are the best of the best of 2013.
Does none of our staff like mysteries?
I agree -- mysteries, a really popular genre, should have been represented.
When staff were asked to give us their favorite titles of the year in the genre of their choice, oddly, no one picked mysteries. Watch this space and we'll get one up soon!

Not sure I know who that is.
You don't wanna know, you'll be safer that way.
Is this mod just another **** take?
No. It got pretty far in development under my lead when I handed the game over to another user to continue developing. All the old media was deleted by me so we could start afresh with the old content. If you'd looked at the images you would have seen that we do in fact have actual content.

In what seems to be a bit of a bold move, the agent for young Twins ace Francisco Liriano is so upset the pitcher is still toiling in the minors that he's contacted the players' union about possibly filing a greivance against the Baggy-Domers.
Ken Rosenthal from FOX SPORTS reports that Greg Genske, Liriano's agent, is specifically looking into whether or not the Twins are purposefully keeping him in the minors as a way of extending the length of time they'll retain rights to Liriano.
Let's let Ken explain the legal mumbo-jumbo. Take it away, Ken!
"He's now dominating," Genske told FOXSports.com. "The team agrees he's dominating. (The union) has determined that there is reasonable cause to open an investigation to see whether the Twins, by leaving him in the minors, are violating his rights in the Basic Agreement."
If Liriano filed a grievance, he could seek either a restoration of major-league service time, financial compensation or both. His loss of major-league time already will prevent him from qualifying for salary arbitration with three years of service and almost certainly will prevent him from qualifying as a "Super Two" player as well.
It sure looks like they might have a point, with Liriano being 7-0 with a 2.73 ERA in his last 9 starts.
Is this just another case of the Twins trying to find every way possible to save a buck? Or is this just smart GMing, keeping Liriano stretched-out in the minors while their not-overpowering but consistent rotation keeps them in the hunt for the AL Central title? You decide!

Comments Thread For: McDonnell vs Malinga IBF Eliminator on October 20
Jamie McDonnell will face Vusi Malinga in an IBF bantamweight World title final eliminator on the undercard of Kell Brooks clash with Hector Saldivia on the Betfair This Is It bill at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on October 20, live on Sky Sports.
The British, Commonwealth and European champion faces the two-time World title challenger from South Africa on a huge night of action in Yorkshire, with the Doncaster man gunning to land a shot at the title this year, which is contested on September 15 in Las Vegas between champion Leo Santa Cruz, who beat Malinga for the vacant belt in June, and challenger Eric Morel.

He must have big balls wanting to challenge Santa Cruz, Cruz threw nearly 1400 punches against Malinga he will be a very hard fighter to beat if you stand and trade and can't hurt him.

Good post, especially the last point.
If there are 2 restaurants, next to each other, and one is full with a queue going outside, and the other is empty with the waiters walking around polishing wine glasses, which restaurant would you prefer to go in?
It is the same with most things in life, and blogging is no different.
I really like all your points which make people addicated to a particular blog.According to me,if a blog is not build in a good manner but content is great then it still cant turn his visitors into subscribers.A blog must have all the qualities which you have written in this post to success in his field
i loved the last point because if we create a certain amount of followers or subscriber then you had traffic … not require much job to do as you will get daily readers easily !!
I can definitely attest to the power of catchy headlines.
Agreed to all the points you have mentioned. The last point is really an interesting one, and Richard made it all the more interesting with the example he gave in his comment.
All points 1-7 are very important.
But the number 3, the Unique personality of the blogger and number 7, the number of subscribers are the top ones in my opinion.
Again, a very good post from blogging tips!

Custom beef ranchers who used the now-shuttered Rancho Feeding Corp. for a slaughterhouse will not be allowed to sell any of the meat they processed at the Petaluma company's plant, the federal government told the ranchers on Wednesday.
That stymies for now the ranchers' efforts to convince the U.S. Department of Agriculture to exempt hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their beef from the international recall of Rancho products.
The ranchers reacted angrily.
Rancho Feeding Corp.
"We're not done with them yet. They're opening up a can of worms by doing this," said Bill Niman, a Bolinas cattleman who said he has at least of $300,000 of his high-end beef tied up in the recall.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, or FSIS, also said that it would not pay the ranchers for the embargoed product.
"FSIS does not have authority to offer compensation," Daniel Engeljohn, assistant administrator for the FSIS Office of Field Operations, wrote to Niman on Wednesday.
"It's ridiculous and bogus," said Tara Smith, owner of Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma. She surrendered a far smaller amount of meat than Niman, she said, about 270 pounds of offal and ground beef, but was outraged by the decision.
The slaughterhouse closed down in February amid a recall of 8.7 million pounds of its beef and veal sold in the United States and Canada — all that it processed in 2013. The company is being investigated by the USDA, the agency's inspector general and the U.S. attorney General's Office.
The agencies have been tight-lipped about the suspected wrongdoing. The USDA has said, without elaboration, that Rancho Feeding circumvented inspection rules and "processed diseased and unsound animals."
One of Rancho's former owners, Babe Amaral, also has called for the ranchers' meat to be released. In a statement through his attorney, he said none of their cows or meat was "tainted, diseased or uninspected."

ONLEY — Northamptons girls soccer team came away with a 1-0 victory over Nandua Thursday night.
Madisen Lewis scored the lone goal for the Yellow Jackets on an assist by Taylor Webb.
Northampton had a steady string of shots in the first half that either missed or were saved by Nanduas keeper Taylor Haynes. She had 8 total saves Thursday.
It was at the 33:44 mark in the second half when Lewis put the Jackets on the board.
Haynes consistency in the goal and nice clears by Nanduas defense prevented the visiting team from scoring again.
The Warriors fought hard until the final two minutes but couldnt pull away with the tie.
Northampton will travel to Kings Fork Tuesday, while Nandua will travel to Sussex Central.

I don't think JJ being either directly or indirectly involved will make a huge difference. Much of the rest of the creative team will probably be the same and even if not, the tone has been set.
The third film will likely be the last with this cast anyway. Spin offs and new crew, with guests and cameo's by Quinto, Pine and Co. are not out of the question though. Maybe on T.V...

Protein superfamily
A protein superfamily is the largest grouping (clade) of proteins for which common ancestry can be inferred (see homology). Usually this common ancestry is based on structural alignment[1] and mechanistic similarity even though no sequence similarity is evident.[2] Superfamilies typically contain several protein families which show sequence similarity within the family. The term protein clan is commonly used for protease superfamilies based on the MEROPS protease classification system.[2]
Sequence homology[edit]
Superfamily members typically show no detectable sequence homology. Indeed they are often impossible to align due to frequent insertions and deletions. In the PA clan of proteases, for example, not a single residue is conserved through the superfamily, not even those in the catalytic triad. Conversely, the individual families that make up a superfamily are defined on the basis of their sequence alignment, for example the C04 protease family within the PA clan.
Structural homology[edit]
Structure is much more evolutionarily conserved than sequence (as also exemplified by the PA clan of proteases). Very few residues show much amino acid sequence conservation, however secondary structural elements are highly conserved as are their arrangement in tertiary structural motifs. Structural alignment programs such as DALI can use the 3D structure of a protein of interest to find proteins with similar folds. Comparing 3D structures can identify instances of evolutionary relatedness that sequence comparison cannot.
Mechanistic similarity[edit]
The catalytic mechanism of enzymes within a superfamily is typically conserved, although substrate specificity may be significantly different. Catalytic residues also tend to occur in the same order in the protein sequence. Once again, the PA clan of proteases acts as an example. Even though families within the superfamily use different nucleophiles, they all perform covalent, nucleophilic catalysis on proteins, peptides or amino acids through a similar mechanism.
Evolutionary significance[edit]
Protein superfamilies represent the current limits of our ability to identify common ancestry.[3] They are the largest evolutionary grouping based on direct evidence that is currently possible. They are therefore amongst the most ancient evolutionary events currently studied. Some superfamilies have members present in all kingdoms of life, indicating that the last common ancestor of that superfamily was in the last universal common ancestor of all life (LUCA).[4]
Superfamily members may be in different species, with the ancestral protein being the form of the protein that existed in the ancestral species (orthology). Conversely, the proteins may be in the same species, but evolved from a single protein whose gene was duplicated in the genome (paralogy).
PA clan - Members share a chymotrypsin-like double β-barrel fold and similar proteolysis mechanisms but sequence identity of <10%. The clan contains both cysteine and serine proteases (different nucleophiles).[2][5]
α/β hydrolase superfamily - Members share an α/β sheet, containing 8 strands connected by helices with catalytic triad residues in the same order,[6] activities include proteases, lipases, peroxidases, esterases, epoxide hydrolases and dehalogenases.[7]
TIM barrel superfamily - Members share a large α8β8 barrel structure. It is one of the most common protein folds and the monophylicity of this superfamily is still contested.[8][9]
Alkaline phosphatase superfamily - Members share an αβα sandwich structure[10] as well as performing common promiscuous reactions by a common mechanism.[11]
Immunoglobulin superfamily - Members share a sandwich-like structure of two sheets of antiparallel beta strands (Ig-fold), and are involved in recognition, binding, and adhesion.[12][13]
Globin superfamily - Members share an 8- helix globular globin fold.[14][15]
Ras superfamily - Members share a common catalytic G domain of a 6-strand beta sheet surrounded by 5 alpha helices.[16]
Protein superfamily resources[edit]
Several biological databases document protein superfamilies and protein folds, for example:
- Pfam - Protein families database of alignments and HMMs
- PROSITE - Database of protein domains, families and functional sites
- PIRSF - SuperFamily Classification System
- PASS2 - Protein Alignment as Structural Superfamilies v2
- SUPERFAMILY - Library of HMMs representing superfamilies and database of (superfamily and family) annotations for all completely sequenced organisms
- SCOP and CATH - Classifications of protein structures into superfamilies, families and domains
Similarly there are algorithms that search the PDB for proteins with structural homology to a target structure, for example:
- DALI - Structural alignment based on a distance alignment matrix method

Eva Longoria Talks About Her Food Vices
Speak Up: What's Your Food Vice?
Actress Eva Longoria told People that when it comes to food vices, dessert is no stand-in for Mexican.
"Anytime there is Mexican food around, you can bet I'll be eating it. I'm not a chocolate person and I'm not into sweets. I'm a meal [person]."
Longoria loves the cuisine so much that she took it to the next level and opened Beso, a Latin steakhouse, in LA a couple of years back, and she's opening a second location of the restaurant in Las Vegas this weekend.
When it comes to food vices, I'm with Longoria in craving savory meals over dessert — my biggest vice being a juicy burger! Even though I give into cravings sometimes, I make a lighter version whenever I can.
Tell me . . . what's your absolute food vice?
