Building a database with Kexi
Probing Data with Queries
In addition to persisting data, a database derives information via a query. As mentioned at the outset, it's typical to write queries in SQL, but that's not particularly natural for the ordinary user. Kexi, again like Access, provides a graphical interface in which you can construct queries.
Now I'll show you how to build a query that will summarize all of the scores that have been recorded. To produce the summary, the student's name is drawn from the students table, the assignment details are drawn from the assignments table, and the score is extracted from the grades table. The ID fields scattered throughout the three tables match the corresponding records to one another.
To create the query, choose Insert | Query. In the panel that opens at center, choose a table name from the drop-down menu, and click Add. Do the same for the other two tables until all three are shown in the middle pane.
Next, click on the id field in the assignments table and drag the field to the activity_id field in the grades table. This correlates the fields. Do the same to correlate the id field in the students table with the student_id of the grades table. Your view should now resemble that in Figure 5.
The next step is to choose the fields you want to display. If you double-click on first_name, last_name, assignment, and score, these fields drop into the Query Columns list at the bottom. Figure 6 shows the center panel after adding the four fields.
If you switch to Data View, you should see something like Figure 7. It displays the results of the query.
By assigning values to the Criteria field of a query column, you can limit results just to those in which you are interested. Also, you can sort results by setting the Sorting field. With a combination of tables, correlations, and query columns, you can tailor reports to your specific needs. By the way, if you prefer to write SQL code by hand, the query editor also offers a Text View in which you can author and validate your code.
Forms and More
Kexi also offers a form editor in which you can create data entry interfaces. Other tools import and export data and import database schemas. The current version of Kexi has some quirks, but the Kexi team promises a novel interface in v2.0, in addition to a report designer to produce professional-looking output. According to Kexi developer Jaroslaw Staniek, the forthcoming version of Kexi will connect to more databases – including SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, and dBase – and feature integration with the entire KOffice 2 suite. For instance, Staniek foresees ODF document generation, without programming, and data sharing across the desktop.
Stay tuned. A future column will revisit Kexi 2 once the software is in widespread beta testing.

Honesty is Needed to Save the Great Society
President Obama placed the "makers" versus "takers" debate squarely before Congress and the country. In its own way, Obama's stout defense of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid served as the preamble to the coming clashes over the debt ceiling, the sequester, and a soon-to-expire continuing resolution funding the government. This trio of fiscal deadlines must, necessarily, concentrate legislative and political minds.
To avert default, a government shutdown, and discomfiting across-the-board spending cuts, Obama and congressional Republicans will have to forge some type of consensus on the future of entitlement spending. It is always possible that consensus will follow the skittering path of the metaphorical can kicked nonchalantly toward the oblivion of insolvency. (More on this in a minute.)
Obama will sign a three-month debt-ceiling bill. He knew that as he drafted his second Inaugural Address, and he similarly knew that it would therefore be necessary to simultaneously confront and negotiate about debt, sequestration, and shutdown this spring—his distraught distinctions about never again negotiating over debt increases notwithstanding.
The sequencing of Obama's address may also be revealing. Intentionally, he placed his lionhearted defense of the three pillars of the Great Society immediately after the only paragraph drafted specifically for Republicans ears—the one that began, "We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time." The president called for "new ideas and new technology to remake our government." If he means this, the Feb. 12 State of the Union address will provide the best and most credible opportunity to specify where, why, and how.
It is worth noting the degree to which entitlement spending constitutes "our government."
Entitlement spending across all federal programs, including transfer payments to alleviate poverty and provide disability subsidies, gobbled up two-thirds of all federal spending in 2010. In 1960, entitlements consumed less than one-third of the budget. We spent $24 billion on entitlements in 1960 and nearly $2.4 trillion in 2010. According to American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Eberstadt, from 1960 to 2010, inflation-adjusted entitlement spending grew by 5.2 percent annually. At the same time, real per capita income grew by 2.2 percent annually. We have, as a nation, been paying out much more than we have been earning for five decades.
This is not a problem of "taking" or "making." It is a problem of allotting. And if we don't do something soon, we will be allotting more than the "makers" can make, and the "takers" will have much less to take.
This will be true despite Obama's fulsome promise: "The commitments we make to each other—through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security—these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great."
Eberstadt's new book A Nation of Takers vividly illustrates the rise of entitlement spending and suggests this addiction undermines economic vitality and saps America of entrepreneurial zest. Evidence shows that it is a bipartisan problem and one with deeper roots in Republicanism than the modern GOP would care to admit. Eberstadt brands the galloping growth in entitlement spending a singularly Republican phenomenon: "Between 1960 and 2010 … the growth of entitlement spending was exponential—but in any given calendar year, it was on the whole over 8 percent higher if the president happened to be a Republican rather than a Democrat. This is in keeping with the basic facts of the time: Notwithstanding the criticisms of 'big government' that emanated from their Oval Offices from time to time, the Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and George W. Bush administrations presided over especially lavish expansion of the American entitlement state."
The GOP, therefore, is culpable for a good share—and certainly a greater share than perception or rhetoric would suggest—of the allotment problem. Republicans are also responsible for a good measure of the "taking" problem. As The New York Times reported last February, two-thirds of the 100 counties in America most dependent on federal entitlement payments voted Republican in the 2008 presidential campaign.

OSU's Bobby Reid ends up at Texas Southern
Associated Press
Rivals.com College Football
Talk about it in The Main Board
HOUSTON � Former Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid said Friday he will transfer to Texas Southern for his final season rather than keep himself eligible for the NFL draft.
Reid, who decided to leave the Cowboys after a junior season in which he was benched after two games, made the decision hours after the NCAA granted him a waiver to transfer to a Championship Subdivision school.
Reid's decision was first reported by Houston television station KRIV.
"I think this is the best route to take," Reid told KRIV.
Reid entered last season seemingly entrenched as the Cowboys' starter, having held the job since midway through his freshman season. But he left a Sept. 8 game against Florida Atlantic with an injury, opening the door for Zac Robinson, who started Oklahoma State's last 11 games.
Reid, who went to high school at Galena Park North Shore in suburban Houston, played only sparingly after his demotion.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy's much-publicized tirade directed at a newspaper columnist last season was about a story critical of Reid.
Texas Southern went 0-11 last season.

Tifelt (Berber: Tifelt, ⵜⵉⴼⴻⵍⵜ, erroneously rendered as Tiflet in French) is a town in northwestern Morocco, westerly of Meknes and easterly of Rabat.[1] Tifelt is in a region of Morocco that is rich with ancient history including settlement by Berbers, Phoenicians and Romans during the first millennium BC. The nearest such major settlements are in Rabat and Volubilis.[2] Tiflet is between the cities of Rabat and Khemisset
Tifelt is a town that was served by workers of the United States Peace Corps until the attack on America of September 11, 2001.[3] The Peace Corps workers had been assisting local women in a beekeeping cooperative, until the U.S. government evacuated the Peace Corps personnel for concerns over their safety. Peace Corps workers have since returned and now focus primarily on job skills workshops and English language classes.[3][4]

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Operation Tribute, Gorham, ME, USA
I became involved with Marc Badeau in 2007 when he launched Operation Holiday Cheer (OHC), a program designed to provide a holiday gift to each child of Maine's military families that desired to participate. The premise was elegantly simple, regardless of one's beliefs about the war, the children of Maine's military familes deserved a show of support and appreciation for their sacrifice as children of military members who were deployed or facing deployment. In that first year, 8,000 gifts were distributed to over 140 cities and towns in Maine with a personal letter addressed to the child. Renamed, Operation Tribute, the program now recognizes the children of those serving, regarless of service or component and has expanded from Maine to include all of New England, New York and New Jersey. Not suprisingly, expansion over the entire Eastern seabord is the next step. I was so impressed by the purpose, organization and impact on the children of the Maine National Guard that I volunteered to serve on the Board of Directors.

Which Olsen Outfit Do You Identify With More?
I'm ecstatic to see Mary-Kate and Ashley out and about because you know what that means: more outfit inspirations from the pint-sized sisters. As usual, MK and Ash are portraying two very different looks at the "Impure Idols" debut show in LA. MK is playing it rough with her quilted leather jacket and strappy pumps. Ashley is a tad more ladylike in her tweed Balenciaga jacket, though the oversized cross necklace and fringe Prada bag toughen the look. Although MK's jacket is badass, I identify more with Ashley's ensemble because it's androgynous chic...just the way I like it lately. Which Olsen outfit do you identify with more?

Like people, pets saved from the dark, thick, acrid smoke of a raging fire need pure air. Minutes matter, and without an oxygen mask that fits properly, the chances for survival are slim.
Like people, pets saved from the dark, thick, acrid smoke of a raging fire need pure air. Minutes matter, and without an oxygen mask that fits properly, the chances for survival are slim.
The Massachusetts Veterinarian Medical Association Charities Inc. this year launched a campaign to supply every community in the state with pet oxygen masks. As part of the initiative, fire departments in Milford, Bellingham and Franklin — along with more than 100 others — received specialized masks this month.
"Usually in a fire, these animals would be overcome by smoke," said Bellingham Fire Chief Steve Gentile. "If you get to them quick enough, like you would with a person, you can start giving them oxygen and revive them."
In many cases, dogs or cats are exposed to smoke longer, unable to flee on their own, Milford Fire Chief John Touhey said.
"Often, the pets will hide, and they can't get out," Touhey said.
Each town received a set of three masks made to fit dogs and cats. The association hopes to place a mask kit in all of the state's 452 fire stations.
Dr. Susan Adams-Conley, president of the Bellingham Animal Hospital, said a generic mask sometimes hurts rather than helps, as the process of trying to fit it onto the pet can cause the animal stress.
"Unless you have an animal with a really pushed in face like a bull dog or Persian cat," she said. "But normally the masks will not fit the normal dog or cat."
She said that when an animal rescued from a fire is brought to a veterinary clinic, the vets give it oxygen immediately.
"It's as important as it is with humans," she said.

I would like a trailer that could be disconnected easily for shopping, and then for bringing the grocceries into the house.
The one trailer I have seen that is supposed to be for shopping doesn't seem quite right to me (when I look online)... It looks too deep.
Ideally, I would like good visibility into the trailer when it was used as a shopping cart (to avoid the appearance of hiding something, and remembering if I already got item A), and be able to handle the usual shopping trip items, bread, milk, eggs, frozen food, meat, a few cans, cereals... You know the drill.
It doesn't need to be waterproof, as I can drive when the weather is poor.
Does anyone know of such a trailer?
If not, does anyone know a legal place to get a small shopping cart for conversion and/or use of the basket section?
What have others done for shopping?

We have added some of the attributes in the HTTPSession object and also in servletcontext attributes as well.
I would like to know if these will work correctly in clustered environment since the application will be deployed in different servers so can the attributes added in context will work correctly over there?
If not, then what is the possible solution for this.

In cases where the container is distributed over many virtual machines, a Web application will have an instance of the ServletContext for each JVM.
Context attributes are local to the JVM in which they were created. This prevents ServletContext attributes from being a shared memory store in a distributed container. When information needs to be shared between
running in a distributed environment, the information should be placed into a session , stored in a database, or set in an Enterprise JavaBeans component. Session attributes must be serializable if they are to be processed across multiple JVMs, which is a requirement for clustering. It is possible to make some fields of a session attribute non-clustered by declaring those fields as transient.

Just to add on, The following are our own rules of thumb for writing servlets to be deployed in a distributed environment:
• Consider that different instances of the
may exist on each different JVM and/or machine. Therefore, instance variables and static variables should not be used to store state. Any state should be held in an external resource such as a database or
(the servlet's name can be used in the lookup).
• Consider that a different instances of the ServletContext may exist on each different JVM and/or machine. Therefore, the context should not be used to store application state. Any state should be held in an external resource such as a database or EJB (the context's path can be used in the lookup).
• Consider that any object placed into an HttpSession should be capable of being moved to (or accessed from) a different machine. For example, the object can implement java.io.Serializable. Be aware that because sessions may migrate, the session unbind event may occur on a different machine than the session bind event!
• Consider that files may not exist on all backend machines. Therefore, you should avoid using the java.io package for file access and use the getServletContext().getResource( ) mechanism instead--or make sure all accessed files are replicated across all backend machines.
• Consider that synchronization is not global and works only for the local JVM.
I agree. Here's the link:

MDW commander visits new hospital site
February 4, 2010
By Paul Bello
FORT BELVOIR, Va. -- Gen. Karl R. Horst, commanding general, U.S. Army Military District of Washington and Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region, got his first up-close look at the future DeWitt Army Community Hospital Thursday.
He was joined by Installation Commander Col. Jerry Blixt, Installation Command Sgt. Maj. Gabriel Berhane, Col. Mark Moffatt, deputy installation commander for transformation and BRAC; and Lt. Col. Kevin McKenna, commander of Belvoir's Headquarters Battalion.
The group walked through the interior of the hospital where each floor will have a main reception area adjacent to an outside garden. The group also got an early glimpse of what the emergency room area will look like, in addition to the physical rehabilitation center and several other clinics and patient rooms.
Horst indicated he was quite impressed with the building's overall design, which includes a skyway connecting the hospital's two sides. Two parking garages will anchor each side of the hospital and specially-designed roofs are in place to collect and store water for the garden and surrounding landscape.
"This is going to be an extraordinary facility once it's completed," Horst said at the conclusion of his visit. "There will be a lot of lighting throughout the hospital and its design lends itself to many advantages for anyone using it."

He strikes me as a really solid "teacher" with the guys. He was absolutely amazing to watch coach at training camp. Nothing was too small to miss his attention. He was really positive with the players too. They clearly "got it" that he was just trying to make them better - and that THIS guy understood all aspects of the game. It was everything from a hand placement or footwork or whatever - he noticed and corrected. The guys learned. Lovie? I think he knew cover-2 defense. But even on defense he failed to adjust in big games. We lost too many of those games while he just gave his "wooden indian" impersonation on the sidelines.

Unless former Kent State University Basketball Coach Geno Ford can talk the Ohio Supreme Court into hearing his case, it looks like he'll have to pay a penalty to the university for skipping out on his contract.
A divided appeals court is upholding a lower court decision that granted Kent State $1.2 million for leaving the $300,000 a year job for a $700,000 gig at Bradley University just a couple years into his 5-year contract at KSU.
Ford argues that the university didn't suffer any actual financial loss from the department and the clause that specifies those damages shouldn't kick in. Judges, so far, disagree.

Summary from Court News Ohio:
Eleventh District: $1.2 Million Judgment Against Former Departing Kent State Basketball Coach Upheld
By Dan Trevas | January 13, 2015
A divided appeals court found Kent State University had valid reasons for adding a damages clause to men's head basketball coach Geno Ford's contract if he left early to coach at another school and upheld a $1.2 million judgment against him.
The Eleventh District Court of Appeals' Monday ruling affirmed the decision of a 2013 Portage County Common Pleas Court siding with Kent State. Ford left in 2011 to coach at Bradley University with three years left on his renegotiated second contract with Kent State that paid him $300,000 a year.
Kent State originally named Ford its head coach in 2008, and gave him a four-year contract that contained a liquidated damages clause requiring him to pay back his salary multiplied by the years left on his contract if he were to leave early. Ford renegotiated his contract in April 2010 for a five-year deal, and while he attempted to remove or alter the liquidated damages clause, it remained in the contract.
In March 2011, Kent State gave Ford permission) to speak to Bradley and other universities and a month later, Bradley hired Ford for $700,000 a year. The university then sued Ford for breach of contract to invoke the damages clause and Bradley for interference with its contract with Ford.
In January 2012, Ford filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing Kent State suffered no real damages from his departure and that the liquidated damages clause was not enforceable because it served only as a penalty. Kent State filed its own motion for summary judgment stating the clause was valid and enforceable.
In July 2013, the trial court sided with the university and ordered Ford to pay $1.2 million. Kent State dismissed its case against Bradley and later in a press statement said it did so to preserve further litigation rights if Ford needed Bradley to help him pay the judgment.
In his appeal, Ford cited the Ohio Supreme Court's Samson Sales, Inc. v Honeywell, Inc. (1984) decision which set the test on whether a liquidated damages clause is enforceable. Writing for the Eleventh District's majority, Judge Diane V. Grendell wrote there is a three-part test in Samson to determine if the parties agreed to a formula by estimation and adjustment that can serve as an enforceable damages clause. The damages have to be (1) uncertain or difficult to prove; (2) the contract as a whole is not so unconscionable, unreasonable, and disproportionate as to not express the intentions of the parties; and (3) the parties had to agree damages in the amount stated would be imposed following any breach of contract.
"The application of Samson to the facts of this case supports a conclusion that the liquidated damages provision was properly enforced by the lower court. The parties agreed on an amount of damages, stated in clear terms in Ford's second employment contract," Judge Grendell wrote.
Judge Grendell noted that the damages a university suffers when its basketball coach leaves are difficult to determine and Kent State argued it could lead to decreased ticket sales, impact recruitment ability, diminish community support, and add to the cost of finding and paying for a replacement. The court noted similar conclusions were reached when former Vanderbilt University football coach Gerry Dinardo breached his contract to coach another team. Ford argued his only duty was to coach the team and the only damages are the easy-to-measure cost of finding a replacement coach. Judge Grendell wrote that was exactly the argument rejected in Vanderbilt Univ. v. DiNardo, upheld by the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1999.
As coach, Ford had contractual supplemental duties, including fundraising and marketing, the court found. In addition, the court noted that Bradley was paying Ford more than double what Kent State paid him, an indication that Kent State's investment in him as a head coach increased his market value, and that Ford knew the consequences since he was negotiating to have the damage clause removed from his second contract.
Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice concurred in the decision.
In his dissent, Judge Timothy P. Cannon found that the Samson factors pointed in Ford's favor because the damages clause is not estimated based on anticipated damages, but a simple formula requiring the coach pay back the salary for each year left on the contract.
"This formula neither suggests any reasonable estimate of Kent State's probable losses nor describes in any way the specific areas of damage to be included in the estimate" he wrote.
Judge Cannon wrote that he would require the trial court hold a hearing to gather evidence on what efforts Kent State made prior to contracting with Ford to determine that the salary payback was the right amount of damages to collect if a breach occurred.

Picture: Will Ferrell Promotes his new movie The Campaign, released August 10, by throwing out a dueling first pitch against his co star at Wrigley Field...
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis stepped up their promotional tour for new movie 'The Campaign' this week, serving coffee to stunned passers-by in Seattle. The Hollywood duo arrived for work at the Local Color Cafe in Pike Place Market, serving espressos in the tiny coffee shop.
The appearance was part of a nationwide 'fake' political campaign, and both stars were in character as opponents vying for a North Carolina congressional seat. Hundreds of fans who had caught wind off their appearance had been queuing outside the coffee shop since 6am, according to Seattle Pi.com. The 11-city public relations tour has led the duo to a Chicago Cubs game, the Naval Air Station in Fort Worth, Texas and The Grove shopping complex in Los Angeles. The Seattle appearance brought out the biggest turnout yet, and Ferrell told MSNbc.com, "It's obviously extremely nice and flattering, but then we felt guilty that we were just whisked into a coffee place and really only made contact with maybe 25 people.It's almost like you want to take a full-page ad in the newspaper tomorrow saying, 'Sorry'.I won't actually follow through with that." The new comedy is the brainchild of both stars, with Galifianakis revealing, "The beginning of it was Will and I went to lunch and were trying to figure out like what could we do together.At first it was centered around the boy pageant circuit.It doesn't even make sense. Two Southern guys".
'The Campaign' hits cinemas in the U.S. on August 10, 2012, before opening in the UK on September 12, 2012.

If following the Prime Directive means being passive-aggressive stupid - to the extent of allowing the rest of the Galaxy to ride roughshod over you - then you have a serious problem.
Principles are good, important to both individuals and cultures. But they are not all that is needed - no person or culture has ever survived genuine danger just by being principled or nice. They survive by being smart, or strong, or adaptable, or sometimes just plain lucky. Especially (but not only) in war.
The point of a principle (the idea that "princes" or rules over others in your worldview) is that you follow it regardless, even if it leads to destruction. Even as a Federation. The collaborating captain (Merrick?) in Bread and Circuses alludes to this - a Captain would rather see his ship destroyed than violate the PD. Kirk doesn't think this way, of course (and neither would I, I believe) - when ship is in danger, you survive first, worry about PD later.
Picard would probably view it more as a "principle" but I'm not a TNG expert.
One thing I keep in mind is this - '
No matter how perfect a principle, creed, law or system might be; its original intent can still be horribly f####d up by over-rigid interpretation and/or sheer smegheadedness.
Im other words: Be flexible, because no matter how much you will kid yourself otherwise, exceptions exist for pretty much everything.
'Not killing' can also be considered a principle (Kirk's "I
shall not kill - today...
" speech is one of his best, IMO). There are people who are determined not to kill no matter what, and I do respect them for that.
But, for me,
it was ever a choice (Ghod forbid) between saving a loved one or taking the life of the person trying to harm them ..... I would do what was necessary - and daresay I would lose very little sleep about it afterwards.
Honesty is another admirable principle, but how rigidly do most of us follow that? Me, I have always held that Honesty Is Not Invariably The Best Policy. There are times when telling the entire unadorned truth benefits no one, and may even cause more harm than good. Believe me, I know this well from a personal family experience that I will
discuss here.
In short, there are times when you just have to say "
#### The Rules. In this case, they are
There are, of course, those who would disagree. Some might admire someone going down, because of sticking to some principle. The quarterback of Yale missed his Rhodes scholarship interview because "team" came first. He might have said, "Screw the principle of "team first," I need to do this for me."
Of course when you choose not to follow a rule, you're choosing a different one. Kirk chooses survival of Enterprise over noninterference. Frankly, I have no problem with that. But they shouldn't tout the PD as holy writ if survival trumps it.
What was the originak topic, by the way?

And we all have forgotten Ilford, Suisse. I remembered our thread here on last Saturday when I visited their booth at the Photokina.
They make the Ilford micrographic colour microfilm (I've been told at their booth that there is quite a lot of demand for this material from the military).
And they are involved in the production of the new Harman Direct Positive paper on DuPont Melinex PET base.
I've seen a first sample of it at the Harman booth, looks very promising.
I will definitely try this paper, especially after my very interesting talk to Mr Walker, the manufacturer of the Harman Titan Pinhole cameras.

Yeah, I gotta agree with the general opinion about Clara. She is just pretty much just there. We've been so busy with the plots each week that we know almost nothing about her. Her likes, dislikes, fears, and thoughts. I still have hope for her though. Maybe once the big mystery is solved the show can start concentrating on giving her a personality.
But yeah. 7B has been a big disappointment for the most part.

Make the Right Preparations
Keeping good books, saving the right documents, and making tax savvy decisions throughout the year all play into how smoothly tax season will go for your business.

Read on to learn what cash and accrual accounting methods are and which is most appropriate for your small business.
Bookkeeping Basics for Small Business - Whether you keep your books on paper, through computer software, or hire an accountant or bookkeeping expert, proper bookkeeping practices are important to the operation and survival of any business. Smart bookkeeping practices are the best way to make sure your taxes are in order when it comes time to file.
When Avoiding a Tax Audit' the Best Offense is a Good Defense - An IRS audit is an impartial review of your tax return to determine its accuracy, not an accusation of wrongdoing. As a taxpayer, you have the burden of proving that your return is accurate. That said, an audit can be a time-consuming and frustrating process if you don't have your bookkeeping in order. In terms of avoiding a tax audit, the best offense is a good defense.
A Primer in Taxable Business Income - No one says that doing your taxes is easy, but being prepared when tax season comes can make the process less painful. When filing your business income taxes, you must report all income - not just income from the sale of goods, services, or property.

Tax laws are constantly evolving making them tricky to fully understand. W've highlighted specific issues through articles on tax requirements that every business owner should be aware of.
When does a Business Start Paying Taxes? A 101 in Small Business Tax Requirements - 'When does a Business Start Paying Taxes?' may sound like a silly question, with an expected answer of: 'When you start making a profit, of course.' Not necessarily. There are many dependencies that determine when a new small business owner is liable for their first tax payment. This article provides tips and resources that can help you navigate through your tax obligations as a new business owner.
State Tax Requirements Affecting Small Business: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 - In addition to federal tax obligations, small businesses are also required to pay state and local taxes. Because each state has the authority to impose its own tax laws, not all businesses across the country are taxed equally. Understanding what each tax is and how it affects the success of your business can help business owners find the best tax environment for their business.
The Facts About E-Commerce Taxes - For the most part, online businesses are required to comply with the same rules and regulations of traditional small businesses.

An Intro in LLC Tax Law - Tax requirements are constantly changing and different laws and forms apply to different business structures. This quick guide provides information to understand the basics on filing taxes for your LLC as of December, 2009.

When it comes to taxes, everyone worries about the money that they'll lose. To help ease the burden, it's important to remember that you can actually save money through the right tax incentives and deductions.
How to Claim the Tax Deduction for Business Use of Your Home - Because most home businesses are run from a portion of a home, not the entire structure, most of the deductible expenses are limited to the percentage of your home actually used for business. Here are the basics on how qualified businesses can file these deductions.
Charitable Giving and the Tax Benefits for Small Businesses - Small businesses participate in charitable giving for a combination of reasons: to contribute to a worthwhile cause, to network with other philanthropic business owners, and to take advantage of the tax benefits that go often go with the territory.. Although the social and emotional benefits of charitable giving are obvious, it's often confusing for business owners to understand how it relates to their taxes. If your business is considering or has participated in charitable giving, you may be entitled to tax benefits.
Business Expenses and Tax Deductions Explained - For small business owners, tax breaks often come in the form of tax deductions - if you understand tax law and claim the deductions you deserve (not what you believe you are entitled to). To help you navigate the complex world of business tax deductions, here is some guidance that will help you take the deductions you deserve.
Green Tax Incentives - The newly-passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Economic Stimulus) includes new and extended energy efficiency incentives for consumers and small businesses. This guide details what's available and how your business can become more environmentally friendly while taking advantage of tax incentives.
File Your Taxes Efficiently
Filing your taxes doesn't have to be a daunting task. Knowing your options can help you achieve all your filing requirements in the easiest way possible.
Paying Your Taxes Can Be Easier - You can simplify your tax process by using the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System. With this free service offered to anyone paying federal taxes, you can submit payments online or over the phone directly from your checking or savings account.

Check the condition of the auxiliary battery first, then check the main if the auxiliary checks good. It's one or the other.
The message you mention pertains to an issue with the battery system. Using a multi-meter, make sure the alternator is putting out between 13.4 and 14.2 volts with the engine running and headlights turned on. If not, you have an issue with the alternator or regulator.

If you watched Tuesday night's "American Idol," you're no doubt buzzing about Kris Allen's left-field take on Kanye West's "Heartless." But you're probably also talking about the actions — and comments — of Simon Cowell.
The cantankerous "Idol" judge spent the early portion of Tuesday's show sparring with fellow judges Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson , and closed the night out by openly campaigning for contestant Adam Lambert , telling viewers to "take nothing for granted" and vote the flamboyant singer into next week's finale.
It was a move that raised more than a few eyebrows in the "Idol" community. Sure, Cowell has openly declared his support for contestants in the past, but it's always been on red carpets or talk-show couches (earlier this week, for example, he told Oprah Winfrey that he wants Lambert to win ), never from behind the "Idol" judges' desk. It seemed a bit odd — dropping any airs of impartiality and openly instructing viewers to vote for a particular contestant — and it made us wonder: Did he cross a line last night with his comments?
"I don't think so. I see it more as an evolution of the judging of the show … it shows a natural progression," Rickey Yaneza, who runs "Idol" blog Rickey.org, told MTV News. "The whole judging thing has become a little more sophisticated now. It's not the same show as it was during season one. Things have happened. There are repeat customers, they know the drill, there are obsessive online fans, and then there are the casual viewers. And I think Simon was reaching out to them with his comments."
Yaneza added that Cowell probably realizes that there are two distinct camps of "Idol" viewers — those who populate message boards with discussions about the show, and those who, well, don't. And while one of those groups is firmly behind Lambert, the other isn't. So basically, Cowell may have been attempting to shore up support for the contestant he believes is the best.
"We live in a different world online, because as far as I'm concerned — and I have stats for whenever I do a post about him, or how many people are searching for him on Google — Adam Lambert is pretty much a lock to win, and he's been that way for about a month now," he said. "But if you're not following the show as intensely as we are, well, then perhaps you don't know about him, or you just assume he's going to make it to the finals, so you don't vote for him. And that was Simon's point: to put that question in viewers' minds. And, of course, it makes for good TV, too."
Fellow "Idol" blogger MJ — who runs the comprehensive MJ's Big Blog — didn't find Cowell's comments to be out of line, either. In fact, the way she sees it, he was trying to prevent the mistakes of previous seasons.
"I thought it was kind of smart, actually. I think he's looking at 'Idol' history and trying a different path, because he knows the show has lost people he liked in the past. And I think it's up for grabs tonight. … Simon is probably worried about Adam's chances," MJ said. "He doesn't want another Chris Daughtry or another Melinda Doolittle. I think he really wanted her in the finals in season six, and she didn't make it, even though everyone sort of assumed she would. So even though everyone's telling [Lambert], 'See you in the finals,' he wanted to remind the casual voters that they need to vote for him. And when he reminds people to do things, they generally do."
So even though Cowell's campaigning may have been a questionable move, it's a component of "American Idol" these days: Just because some of the show's fans seem to think Lambert's a lock, there's a huge number of viewers out there who might not see it that way. Cowell reminded them of that fact, regardless of what people might think.
"I think it bugged a lot of people, the fans online were really irritated, but the casual person at home, it sort of put a thought into their heads," MJ said. "I actually didn't think it was a bad move, because what he said is kind of true. You can assume someone will make it to the finals … but you have to actually vote for them to get there."

I do not know the nature of these powders and I do not know the reason for puting the mix in oven ? Can you explain , why ?
And what about high refractive index glass powders mixed with plastics ? Do they really transmit light better or is it a nontransparent medium ?

The Players' Smile offers a look at the all-American beauty pageant.
By Kay Kipling
But Smile didn't run long, and has not been revived often. So it's kind of intriguing to catch it for the first time at the Players Theatre.
Channing Weir, Trina Rizzo and Tara Collandra in the Players' Smile.
This is a show about a pretty cheesy young teen beauty pageant (set in Santa Rosa, Calif., in the mid 1980s, the era of big hair), and it runs the risk of being pretty cheesy itself at times. But Smile also boasts a lot of young talent, most especially Trina Rizzo and Channing Weir as two of the contestants who become friends during the competition.


text: I think people enjoy attacking it as well of defending it. I am an artist not a historian. I know Tarantino is dealing as much with the history of film as with a period in American history. To put Tarantino in a box and say he has to strictly adhere to history is to take the art away from film. Regardless, a movie two hours in length will not satisfy history, ever! I agree Eric, it has spurred many great reactions and it's interesting to note when they are on point or not.
