|NOTICE: If you wish to weigh an opinion on the subject of Lavender Brown's death, please take a few moments first to read through the many, many discussions on this issue already in the talk page archive. Before starting any new topics about this, please consider whether or not it would really add anything new to the debate, or whether it would simply be repeating what has already been discussed. Thank you.
Herbology picture
Her image in Herbology Class is wrong, this isn't Lavender. She is with a Hufflepuff tie, and she skin is Black and turned white after? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
- It's not a Hufflepuff tie, that's the golden stripes in her Gryffindor tie (red and thick golden stripes). Either way, in Chamber of Secrets, Lavender Brown was played by Kathleen Cauley who is, indeed, a black actress (provoking a continuity error with later films). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:46, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Watch it again. It's a Hufflepuff Tie. Also, in the Quidditch Game, she is with a Yellow Scarf, like the others Hufflepuff students. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
- Actually, yes, sorry, I think you are quite right, that girl is definitely wearing a Hufflepuff tie. It was either another of the filmmakers' blunders or she has been misidentified. Is there any source that supports that that girl is Kathleen Cauley? Heck, is there any reliable sources that supports the fact that Lavender was played by Kathleen Cauley at all? (I've just Googled it and evidence was lacking... besides, the only references provided in our article are dubious at best). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:29, September 10, 2012 (UTC)
Re-visiting the Lavender Brown death discussion
There are about 7 different topic sections all arguing about this on this page. I for one have just read a large number of compelling arguments for Lavender living to be the more canon fate. How is it the death is still listed on her page? Some solution needs to be found... and that solution should not be just listing her death as if it is completely canon. If this Wikia is to be a reputable source of HP information, some action needs to be taken on this matter.
The above was originally posted at the archived Lavender Brown talk page by 22.214.171.124 14:37, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
- Let's just nip this in the bud right here. Our canon policy states that information from the films and related materials is canon so long as it does not specifically contradict what is written in the book. Lavender is known to have died in the film, we were able to find nothing compelling in the book proving that she remained alive, therefore her death is unambiguously canon per our policy. Period.

Ash's Snivy
this wiki
Snivy first appeared in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!, where it was caught by Ash and the gang stealing food from them. Iris and Cilan believed that she deemed her previous Trainer unworthy of her and so abandoned them, after they witnessed her high-level attacks. Ash then chased after Snivy through all of the episode, using each member of his team in turn to battle her, however the majority of his team (Pikachu, Oshawott and Tepig) were affected by Snivy's Attract, forcing Ash to recall each of them. It wasn't until Pidove offered to battle did Ash manage to hold his own Snivy, as her Attract had no effect on Pidove (due to her also being female, something Ash was not aware of until this point). Snivy broke out of the first Pokeball attempt and fought back, but she decided that Ash was a worthy trainer and allowed Ash to catch her.
She was sent out twice during Ash's five-on-five battle with Trip in A Rival Battle for Club Champ! . She first battled Trip's Servine and won with the help of her Attract. She then battled Trip's Frillish after Pidove was defeated, leaving her as Ash's only hope. Ash had no knowledge of Frillish's Cursed Body ability, so he commanded Snivy to use Vine Whip, which was then disactivated. With knowledge of the ability, she fires a Leaf Storm, but is countered by Protect, and after exchanging Night Shade and Leaf Storm attacks, the male Frillish dodges Attract. Ash takes a risk and uses Leaf Blade, which does massive damage. It does not knock him out, and is de-activated. Snivy endures Water Pulse easily, but the resulting confusion results in Frillish's Hex knocking her out.
In Emolga and the New Volt Switch!, she battled against Bianca's Pignite after Iris' Emolga summoned it using Volt Switch. It later develops a rivalry with Emolga, as she is unimpressed with Emolga's attitude. It continuously uses Vine Whip to bring Emolga back after she tries to escape and also when Snivy showed the gang who had caused the fight between Ash's Pokémon. However, despite this, Snivy saved Emolga (as well as Axew and Oshawott) from a wild Simisear. Their rivalry was put on hold when Snivy and Emolga worked together to destroy a boulder that was about to crush the Simisear. However, the rivalry did not disappear, as shown when Snivy and Emolga looked quickly away from each other in disgust after catching each others' eye. Snivy and Emolga's rivalry was shown again in Facing Fear With Eyes Wide Open!.
Ash used Snivy to battle against Trip's Servine again in Ash and Trip's Third Battle!. While Trip mocked him for not evolving her, she proved to be Servine's equal, countering Leaf Tonado with Leaf Storm and dodges Cut. However, this time her Attract was blocked by Servine's Leaf Tornado and her Leaf Blade was overpowered by Servine's Cut.
In BW042: Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia! , Snivy was used against Georgia's Pawniard during the second round of the Don Battle Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. Pawniard maintained the advantage, and also threatened the Grass Snake Pokemon with a powerful Guillotine. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the next episode, by somehow using Leaf Blade to hit Pawniard dead-on while avoiding Guillotine and knocked her out with Leaf Storm. Georgia, however blamed the loss on the terrain, which caused Pawinard to get stuck, and she also didn't lose to a Dragon type, so she didn't care too much.
In Battle for the Underground!, all of the Pokemon were captured by Team Rocket. Pikachu, who did not have a Pokeball and was locked in a cage, used Electro Ball on Snivy's Pokeball, realeasing her. Snivy used her vines to let out several of the groups Pokemon, all of which proved useful for making an escape. She also used her vines to switch the direction of the tracks, allowing the Pokemon to get away from Team Rocket's train car. When Ash got on the train via Ingo and Emmet, she was used alongside Pikachu to battle Dr. Zager and his helicopter. She used Leaf Storm on the helicopter propellor, jamming it up, and allowing Piachu to destroy the containment unit.
In Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!, Ash used Snivy against Elesa. She went up against Elesa's Emolga. Since they were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Emolga finally defeated Snivy with several powerful Acrobatics and Aerial Ace attacks.
In A Maractus Musical!, Snivy was used alongside Pikachu and Tepig in Ash's very first triple battle against Tobio's Maractus trio. Even when their combinations of Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Leaf Storm, were being used, the battle was postponed due to Cacchin making them all fall down.In Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!, Snivy was happy to see Axew and Scraggy getting along despite them both losing in a battle. When Katharine's Gothita and Scraggy escaped and then followed by Axew in the middle of the night, Snivy followed them closely, and saves them from an attack caused by a wild Garbodor that Gothita disrupted. The next day, Ash used Snivy against Katharine's Gothita after he made a bet involving Scraggy, which ended in an easy victory for her, as Gothita was used to calling all of the shots, and did not do well when Katharine was telling her what to do.
In Battling the King of the Mines!, Snivy was used in a Gym battle against Clay's Palpitoad. She used Attract to immobilized it and then hitting it with Vine Whip and Leaf Blade and finally defeated it with Leaf Storm. She went up against Clay's Excadrill and after her attacks were being blocked by Excadrill's Rapid Spin, Snivy got knocked out with a powerful Horn Drill.
In Evolution by Fire!, Snivy was disgusted by Shamus, Tepig's former trainer. She volunteered to battle against Shamus's Emboar and Heatmor alongside Tepig. When Tepig was depressed, Snivy slapped Tepig with Vine Whip. In the battle against Shamus, she battled well despite the type disadvantage, even landing an Attract on his Emboar, and pulverizing it with Vine Whip, however Heatmor's Fury Swipes snapped him out of it. Tepig was un-motavated, but as Shamus was about to land a Flare Blitz/Fire Spin combo on Tepig, Snivy saved Tepig, getting knocked out in the process, but her loss brought back his motavation.
In Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!, she faced off against the Flower Garden Trio. Ash used Snivy up against Moira's Cinccino in a test of strength. She overpowers Cinccino,and throws her into the mud, but the special oils on her fur allowed her to rub the oil off, which was cheating. When Ash was about to battle Cinccino again, Iris intervined, who ahted Moria's arrogent attitude. Snivy used her Leaf Storm to rub the oil off of Cinccino's fur, so that when Cinccino (along with Moira) fell into the mud, she was unable to clean herself off.
In Cameron's Secret Weapon!, Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his Vertress Conference battle with Cameron, sending her out to face Cameron's Riolu. Riolu started the battle with a Vacuum Wave, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, recovered and used Copycat, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use Force Palm on her. Riolu carried on with a Circle Throw, sending the Grass Snake Pokémon flying into the arena wall. Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which Snivy shrugged off easily. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy dodged used Leaf Storm and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, while Riolu tried to struggle to his feet and almost collapsed, the severe pain resulted in Riolu suddenly evolving into Lucario, a much more formidable opponent, who got his strength back. When the battle continued in the next episode, Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent. She struck with a powered up Leaf Blade (from Overgrow), which inflicted serious damge, however Lucario hit her with Force Palm. Snivy bombarded him with numberous brutal Vine Whips, but Lucario caught them and threw her with her vines and finished her with Aura Sphere, leaving only Pikachu to battle the powerful foe.
In BW121, she was used to battle aginst two Golurk controlled by Colress. Despite the notable size difference, Snivy is able to deal massive damage to both of them with Leaf Storm, but she had to be returned to her Pokeball when Colress turned his mind control device on them.

|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
- Snivy seems to be the most level headed and mature Pokémon currently on Ash's Unova team.
- It is suggested that Snivy is one of the few Snivy's who abandoned their previous trainers since they saw the trainer as unworthy or incompetent. Which could explain her high level grass moves and Attract, although it may be possible Snivy was strong before all this.
- During Ash and Snivy's first encounter, Snivy displayed surprise at how Ash protected Pikachu and even thought about it a little. This could possibly mean Snivy had some troubled relation with a previous trainer.
- Snivy was the only Pokémon on Ash's team to ever defeat Trip's Servine. After Pikachu lost to it, Snivy was able to defeat it using attract. She later lost to Trip's Frillish due to it's Cursed Body.
- She may have traits similar to Ash's Grass starters: being a prime battler as in Ash's Sceptile, being a protector as in Ash's Bulbasaur, if counted being a female Grass-type as in Ash's Bayleef and taking charge as in Ash's Torterra when it was Turtwig.
- Snivy is Ash's sixth Pokémon to battle its evolved form. The other five were Pikachu, Sceptile as a Treecko, Corpish, Buizel, and Gliscor as a Gligar.
- It is also the third of Ash's Pokemon to actally defeat it's evolved form, behind Pikachu and Buizel.
- Snivy is Ash's second confirmed female Grass-type starter (the first being Bayleef).
- Snivy is Ash's only Pokémon to know the move Attract.
- All of Snivy's Grass-type moves are also known by Ash's other Grass-type Starters.
- Vine Whip is also known by Bulbasaur and Bayleef.
- Leaf Blade is also known by Sceptile.
- Leaf Storm is also known by Torterra and Sceptile.
- Snivy has developed a rivalry with Iris' Emolga.
- Interestingly, they are both the only female Pokémon currently on the main cast that know Attract.
- The two have somewhat opposite personalities; Snivy is calm, collected, mature and willing to fight her own battles no matter how tough her opponent may be, while Emolga is childish, deceptive, lazy and unwilling to battle seriously and/or tricks/forces others to battle for her (by using Volt Switch).
- Snivy is Ash's first Unova Pokémon confirmed to be female.
- Snivy seems to care about Ash's other Pokémon, an example of this was her saving Ash's Tepig in BW079.
- Snivy was the the fifth grass-type Pokémon to be captured by Ash. First was Bulbasaur, second was Bayleef, third was Sceptile, and fourth was Torterra.
- Interestingly, all five of his grass types are the region's starters.
- Snivy is Ash's second grass-type pokemon to unleash Overgrow the first was Sceptile.

The season of light is upon us, with displays ranging from vibrant and glorious color to subdued tonal effects. Each experience communicating through the filtering of light however bold or subtle its intent. I love the light quality of winter. The sun is low and there is a brightness to the light that is uplifting when days are short and temperatures cold. DaDe Art and Design Lab's "H2O, is a 10 foot collaborative sculptural piece inspired by the shape of a water drop. Created by Darcy Lundgren, Greg Fraser & Phillip Baldwin using approximately 400 empty limited edition 2008 Christian Lacroix prêt-à-porter Evian water bottles." A beautiful and artful display emanating filtered light and organic form. I found this to be an especially refreshing and beautiful expression this holiday season. With an emphasis on sustainability, his work is focused on "environmental awareness- turning something wasteful into a work of art."

Happy Reading!!!
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her doctors told Michele that she was an incredibly strong and brave woman. With great difficulty, Michele mouthed the words "It is the Lord." This was her story, this was her song. She knew that her Savior was the source of all of her strength and blessings.
No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
"In Christ Alone"
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
Copyright © 2001 Kingsway Thankyou Music
Michele's suffering has ended, and for that I am so thankful. Still, I will miss her for the rest of my life here, under the sun. Please keep her dear husband, daughters, and family in your prayers.
And thus ends this blog. She was its driving force, hers was the vision and the passion for this medium. I felt that it was only right to leave her readers with this final update. Thank you.
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a Bible study. I'm not sure how long my cancer can be controlled so that made me evaluate how I spend my time. I decided I don't want to spend what time I have left blogging politics.
Thank you for your prayers, especially those you prayed when Angela requested prayers for me in April. It was around that time I started a new chemo drug and after one dose it stopped the tumor from filling my abdomen with fluid and then over time took away the pain I was experiencing (the pain got to be so bad, I had to wear a pain patch, now I'm pain free and no longer on pain medication). I hope you will continue to pray to the Lord for me even though I won't be blogging any more. If you want to find out how I'm doing, feel free to email me at email@example.com.
BTW, don't be surprised when this blog is taken down and assume that I've died. I've requested it be removed since I'm done blogging.
Thank you for your concern and for reading my drivel over the years
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right now, as she is in a great deal of pain and gastrointestinal distress.
As you know, the cancer has returned, and it is very aggressive. The chemotherapy that began in January was totally ineffective. Yesterday she started a new drug, and we are hopeful that it will stop the growth of this cancer.
The elders from her church will visit her at home this evening, to lay hands on her and to pray. If you are willing, would you please join us all in prayer tonight?
I intend to closely monitor replies to this thread. I will forward any kind words to Michele, and I will delete anything that is uncharitable.
Thank you,

As people in the northeast continue to pick up the pieces after Hurricane Sandy, some local Marines returned Sunday night after helping the cause.
More than 300 Marines and Sailors of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit went to New York City from November 1st to November 11th to provide disaster relief to the area.
Marines we spoke with say the devastation was more than they could have ever imagined.
Colonel Matthew St. Clair says on the positive side, the disaster brought those impacted closer together. "If somebody got done cleaning out their house then they were helping their neighbors. Or, if their neighbor's damage was worse than the damage on their house, well then they would go help their neighbor. So the community bonded, and I don't know if all communities would've done that.
St. Clair says this mission was unique because they were helping fellow Americans. He says it's not something they get to do very often, but they took great pride in the opportunity.

School Board analyzes post-retirement program
A program that pays retired Henrico school system employees a percentage of their final annual salaries in exchange for their part-time work within the system saves considerable money on substitute teacher expenses but could provide even more value to the system with several adjustments.
That was the conclusion of an in-depth analysis completed by county and school system finance officials, who presented their findings to the School Board Sept. 13.
At the beginning of the current fiscal year in July, the board increased the requirements of retirees who participate in the Post-Retirement Earnings Plan (PREP) program, mandating that they work at least 28 days during the school year in order to receive pay equal to 20 percent of their final annual paychecks. Eligible retirees may participate in the program for a maximum of seven years; 388 participate currently.
It was the third change made in the past three years by the board, which is seeking to squeeze more value from the 32-year-old program while reducing its annual cost. The PREP budget has dropped from its peak of $8.9 million in 2009 to $5.6 million during the current fiscal year. Prior to this year's change, PREP participants received 22 percent of their final paycheck in exchange for working 24 days a year.
The program was created in 1980 as a way to provide a benefit to employees, encourage early retirement and save the school system money. During its budget process this spring, the School Board sought specific data to better determine the effectiveness and value of the program. But last week's work session was proof that categorizing that value is a challenging exercise.
Though it's relatively easy to determine the cost savings that results from using PREP retirees as substitute teachers – since there is a standard rate of pay for substitutes – it's much more difficult to determine the value of administrative retirees who perform a variety of other responsibilities, Henrico Finance Director Gene Walter told the School Board.
Walter and his staff studied 507 PREP participants who entered the program during the past seven years and whose replacements were hired immediately upon their retirement. (The study didn't include nearly 50 other participants whose former positions were eliminated, he said.)
Of those 507, 317 were retired teachers whose combined participation during those seven years saved the system $1.18 for each $1 it spent on the program, Walter said.
But Walter and his analysts could not determine a dollar-to-dollar estimate for the other 190 participants because their roles within the system were less defined and often entailed duties for which the system wouldn't have hired temporary help.
School system officials recommended that the board consider a number of changes to the program that would make it easier to determine a clear value for each dollar spent in the program, including:
• assigning every participant to serve either as a substitute teacher (if qualified) or to fill another capacity with specific and direct calculable benefit to the system (such as SOL remediation);
• capping the maximum allowable salary to a participant at $90,000 annually;
• increasing the number of required years of Henrico service from 10 years to 15 years for eligible retirees and reducing the number of required years of service in the Virginia Retirement System from 16 to 15;
• requiring that interested participants notify the system of their intent by Dec. 1 annually and begin their participation the following July 1 (as opposed to the current system, which permits entry throughout the year – a minimum of 30 days after retirement – and makes budgeting for the program less predictable);
• grandfathering all current participants under the current standards until they have completed their seven years or dropped out of the program.
"We have determined that there's a large responsibility on everyone's part here to develop something that's going to be very beneficial and cost-effective and also value-added to the school system," Superintendent Pat Russo said during the work session. "That's where we want to move this program."
Current guidelines require that participants be at least 50 years old without having attained the age for full, unreduced Social Security benefits. The program initially was designed in part to serve as a bridge between retirement and Social Security, HCPS Finance Director Kevin Smith told the board. Using current standards, 854 current school system employees would be eligible to participate in the PREP program if they retired, HCPS Human Resources Executive Director Howard Banks said.
The board is expected to discuss the recommendations and the PREP program again at a meeting next month.

(Written by Michael Turner and Elle Yi) The demands of modern life mean that it is often difficult for parents to find as much time for their children as they would like – whilst kids are spending more time than ever absorbed in such unhealthy distractions as video games, the internet, mobile phones and on-demand television.
For the busy parent who would like to spend more quality time with their child, whilst encouraging a healthier alternative to the dubious digital delights of the TV and Xbox, making art together could be the perfect solution.
You could enjoy a variety of relatively inexpensive activities together. From finger painting with younger children, experimenting with tempera paints and watercolours with older kids, sculpting with clay and play dough, to designing personalised t-shirts, the options are endless.
Not only will engaging in artistic activities together help you bond, it will also foster valuable life skills in your child – and educational experts agree that arts together is very important in a child's development, for several different reasons: [Read more…]

"Swiss tax deal opens door for money laundering"
At a symposium on economic crime in Cambridge last week, Jonathan Fisher QC of Devereux Chambers, who specialises in tax investigation cases, described the opportunity HMRC's voluntary disclosure schemes presented to money launderers as "colossal".
He continued: "The recent arrangement made between the UK and Switzerland for withholding payments whilst maintaining a taxpayer's anonymity is a variant on the theme. In many respects, it is a grubby little deal because, in addition to protecting serious tax criminals from prosecution, it affords organised criminals an opportunity to money launder the proceeds of their criminal activities through Switzerland whilst continuing to conceal their identity from the UK authorities...
"The penetration of HMRC systems and processes by criminal organisations for money laundering purposes undermines its reputation and integrity. At the very least, there is sufficient material in the public arena to justify an urgent independent and coherent analysis of the nature and scale of the problem... It would be unfortunate indeed if, in addition to the dubious distinction of having become the largest reported losers of confidential data in the world, it emerged that Her Majesty the Queen was presiding over the one of the largest and most sophisticated money laundering operations in history! Unfortunately, this possibility cannot be discounted, and if the author's hunch, based on a combination of academic study and practical experience, were to be correct, urgent remedial action would need to be taken."
Fisher concluded his speech by calling upon the House of Commons Treasury Committee to carry out a closer investigation of the issue.
Do members of this group agree with his analysis - and is it an issue that should be opened up to further scrutiny?
The organised protection of criminals.
Is that not the reason this has been done ?
You simply put your drugs, and other trade income in a swiss bank account, suffer a bit of tax on the interest (so now you can also say you are a contributor) and via a few trading companies, trusts etc bring the money back, or leave it for your retirement in another country.
Presumably it's out of reach for POCA as well ?
Who would not take advantage of rules provided for this purpose ?
Unfortunately this is how we deal with problem solving, Straight under the carpet JFDI , What problem ? lets pat ourselves on the back.
This is just the practical application of Spin.
Proceeds of crime
I have great respect for Jonathan Fisher QC.
Clearly, as regards Swiss bank accounts, HMRC have gone for a 'deal' which is far from perfect (from their point of view) but is an improvement on no information and no tax.
Equally clearly if a person has hidden proceeds of crime in a bank account overseas he will - if caught and if there is sufficient evidence - be subject to action under PoCA 2002 to take those proceeds away from him. It will be no defence to say that he has paid some tax on interest earned on the loot.
Jonathan's full comments are HERE.
One of his points is this:
"Perhaps, however, the most fertile area in which HMRC is vulnerable to penetration by criminal actors relates to the abuse of the tax collection system for money laundering. The vulnerability here is enormous, since a taxpayer needs to do little more than deliberately make an overpayment of tax in respect of his personal income or trading profits. In due course, HMRC will send the taxpayer a rebate. HMRC's willingness to accept provisional figures in tax returns is a gift to a taxpayer since it affords him an opportunity to abuse the system whilst camouflaging his action with a veneer of commercial respectability."
The issue which Jonathan has perhaps not sufficiently addressed in this context is how the launderer makes the initial (over) payment to HMRC (for example by taking actual cash to the bank?) without attracting the attention of the authorities at that stage.
Thoughts anyone?
Cash? Ssshh
Surely a cash payment of a tax liability merely confirms to HMRC that cash transactions are being used,and they would only have to ask where that cash came from ?
and How would a confiscation order be made against an anonymous account holder ? May even be in another name ? In fact the sensible thing to do would be to use someone elses identity, Mistress etc.
The self assesment system is designed for fraud. The opportunities are endless, there are no checks and it is a choice of how much tax you would like to pay. We have lost count of how many incorrect tax returns we have seen with large (in comparison to the tax bill) underpayments, ranging from the naive to the deliberate.
Because the system is now all electronic I don't think HMRC have any idea of the scale of the problem.
I wonder whether there is actually a need to launder amounts of less than £50K as there is virtually no chance of being caught anyway and this (or at least £30K) could be described on your tax return as dividends with no extra tax.
The centralisation of HMRC and loss of local knowledge means that builders can receive £50K + in cash, for an extension to avoid the vat. Should have been a high value cash dealer, but probably did not know. This is surely a very easy way of laundering substantial amounts of cash, and quite common.
Dave Hartnett grilled on the issue by MPs.
The Guardian reported that HMRC permanent secretary for tax Dave Hartnett fielded questions from the Treasury sub-committee on the Swiss tax deal on Monday as they investigated HMRC's efforts to close the tax gap. The prospect of breaking down Swiss banking secrecy within the next 10 years "seemed very unlikely", he said.
In response to the point raised by tax campaigner Richard Murphy that the deal has delayed international efforts to break down Swiss secrecy, he replied: "I am not saying Swiss bank secrecy was going to break down tomorrow. But the US is making big progress, the direction of travel is substantially in the direction of openness. This deal has guaranteed that anonymity is reinforced."
There were also a few interesting exchanges on his involvement with settlements of corporate tax disputes with the likes of Vodafone and Goldman Sachs. We'll be producing our own report on the hearing in the next day or two.
PS - Some interesting points from David & The Black Knight on the cash factor and SA system - thanks.
Where does the agent stand?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I have yet to see discussion of the position of the agent when a client wishes to use the Swiss deal. A crucial difference between the LDF and this deal seems to be that the client can choose to suffer a "tax" deduction while at the same time not disclosing his name, address and assets to HMRC.
The existence of such funds suggests that past tax returns have been incomplete and that therefore there has been criminal tax evasion. Surely that means that, if a client instructs me on that basis, I have to do a report under ML Regs in any event... I interpret the "D" in LDF as meaning that, because the client's cards are going on the table anyway, there is no need to report.
But then maybe that is too simplistic.
good points
but if the swiss treatment is allowed; Is there a criminal offence at all any more ? Particulary if the clients non disclosure was not deliberate because he believed that the swiss kept your details secret for this very purpose, as has been recently ratified by HMRC.
Presumably these sorts of clients already know not to tell their accountant these things otherwise they would have appeared on previous returns or the accountant would (prior to the MLR) have ceased to act.
The danger is that now they will tell you, because they have got away with it and believe they are home and dry !
IHT planning
do these amounts escape IHT as well ?
could be effective death bed planning to open a swiss account, only kidding but I bet it has already been done.

Bow and Arrow Hunter
Personalized Christmas Ornament$13.95
Wearing his camouflage outfit, this hunter prefers the ancient bow and arrow over a gun to shoot his prey just like the Native Americans used to hunt. It takes great aim and skill to send the arrow directly into the target and knowing the proper trajectory is extremely important, but this seasoned hunter practices his skills and is a good shot. A personalized hunting ornament is a great gift for the weekend warrior who believes that hunting is a sport of great precision and prefers the archery method to take down an animal.

This blog is fourth and final in a series in which I take a look at four films in our collection which deal with illegal immigration, first and foremost from the perspective of those who undertake the journey, but also from viewpoint of their family, the communities they immigrate to and border patrol officers charged with repelling them from entering the country. Sin Nombre, Which Way Home, Mojados: Through the Night and El Inmigrante are all films that take a look at illegal immigration in greater depth and with a greater diversity of opinions than can be included in the typical media coverage of the debate. If you have a desire to take a closer look at the hows and whys of illegal border crossing, I urge you to check out one or all of these films.
This final documentary, El Inmigrante, tells the story of one who succeeded in reaching America, one who actually had succeeded several times and was experienced in crossing the desert where he would go on to work in America sending money home to his family. The last time Eusebio de Haro crossed through the desert he would never get home again. He and his travelling companion crossed the dessert, plagued by thirst, and found themselves before an elderly Texan couple, on whose land they stood. They pleaded the Americans for water and a rifle was drawn. Eusebio's companion ran for his life and Eusbio was shot down from behind while fleeing. From here the documentary fleshes out Eusebio's story with accounts from his mother, father and his numerous siblings who share memories of their fallen brother and give us a sense of where he came from and why he would make the journey.
Members of the U.S. Border patrol are interviewed and found to be surprisingly sympathetic toward the travelers they guard the border against. Less sympathetic, the vigilante border guards who've decided their government is not doing enough and with rifle in hand they watch over their small piece of the border. You hear from people who lived and worked with the gun man including his friend and Sheriff, the same officer who was called to arrest him. and his opinions about his guilt as well as his feelings on the justness of his punishment. And we also hear from Eusebio's brother who took the news of his brother's death as a challenge to make the same crossing himself. Now he works in construction and sends money home and remembers his brother and his jokes. Those who made the journey or attempted it contemplate whether the crossing is worth it, whether America is the land of plenty they imagined.
Having travelled via film from Honduras and Chiapas, through Mexico by train, across the Rio and through the desert, into America itself with these poor, tired travelers, will your opinions of the immigration debate be altered, re-affirmed? Whatever your take on the issue, I think everyone can benefit from the rare opportunity of hearing the voices of those the debate is centered on, not just the lawmakers and U.S. citizens who contribute to the debate. Whatever your opinion is, each of these films are excellent stories of individuals who take up a journey of which they have fear, perhaps not too much knowledge of the dangers waiting them and with hope for better things driving them on.

Plans to cut Saturday mail pickups and deliveries has been delayed.
The U.S. Postal Service says Congress is no longer allowing the change.
Back in February, the postal service said starting in August, it planned to cut back to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages, in order to hold down losses.
The agency's board of governors said Wednesday that Congress passed a spending bill that continues the long-time debate against reducing delivery days.
It's unclear how long the delay in switching to five day delivery will be, but for now, you can expect to receive and have mail picked up six days a week.

WILSON, OK - Funeral services were held Thursday for a mother and two children killed in a recent Carter County house fire.
27-year-old Dondria Hickman and her children 7-year-old Brooklyn and 4-year-old Benjamin Jr. died last Thursday morning when their home just south of Wilson caught fire. Their father, Benjamin Hickman Sr. was able to escape the blaze.
Services for the three victims were held Thursday at 2 p.m. at the Alexander Funeral Home Chapel in Wilson.
Officials believe the cause of the fire may have been a portable heater.

Tallahassee, FL - A grassroots effort is building calling for GE labeling on Genetically Engineered foods. They're calling for state lawmakers to pass a bill requiring food companies to tell customers what's in their food.
Food and Water Watch a group calling for more transparency in grocery stores. The group held a protest at the state capitol today. They're asking lawmakers to pass a bill requiring food companies to label genetically engineered foods.
There's a proposal on the ballot in California this fall for voters there to decide if food companies should label Genetically Engineered foods. There are no studies linking GE corn, soy and other crops to diseases, but activists fear the effects will be seen in the near future.

AIKEN, S.C.-- An Aiken man is behind bars after a six-hour standoff.
Officers arrested 52-year-old John Callahan on Saturday.
Officers responded to the 400 block of Williamsburg Street after getting calls of shots fired.
When they got there, deputies say Callahan ran back into his home.
That's when officers made a perimeter around the house, and the standoff began.
Six hours later, deputies say they entered his house and took him into custody peacefully.
He's currently in the Aiken County Detention Center, charged with discharging a firearm within city limits.

I can't believe how fast the last year has gone. From being huge and uncomfortable, to welcoming home a new bundle of joy… feeding woes and sleepless nights… wondering what her giggle would sound like, what her teeth would look like, how awesome it would feel when she hugged me back, and her very first steps. All the way to photographing her for her 1-year invitations. It all went by so fast that it still makes me so sad! Unfortunately we can't stop them from growing up though (trust me- I tried! I even used to ask Trent to push his "stop-growing button" as I pointed to his belly button, but alas, he finally realized it wasn't working and said he was so sorry!) so we may as well just capture all the moments we can so that next year when they're graduating and moving out, and the year after that when we're old and gray, we can look back on our photos and videos and smile (and cry!)
I love my kids SO stinking much that it literally hurts sometimes. And I'm very proud of them (even though they defy my wishes for them to stop growing, lol.)
Here's the cake-smash session I'd been looking forward to for quite a while. I made almost everything in the photos (even the baby, haha!) I'm still excited that I pulled it off!
I"m actually really surprised she wore the hat!
Chocolate-lined, gigantic cupcake! MMM!
Ok, I'm really not one to toot my own horn, but I still can't believe I actually made these slippers for her!
She was ever-so-dainty. Honestly, I had to GET her to really dig in!
She was giggling at her big brother, Trent, who was standing behind me cheering her on :-)
These turned out as perfectly as I'd hoped they would. (Thanks to Miller's for their awesome Luxe cards and amazing prints!)

Building a wireless mesh network up with DNS, captive portal webpage, and communication infrastructure. A tiny "internet" for disaster stricken areas.
- Portable power
- batteries, solar, wind turbines, etc
- Mesh network nodes capable of being run on available power.
- OpenWRT capable devices
- Various antenna types
- DNS server
- DHCP server
- Captive portal page containing emergency and general information for people joining the network.
- Communication options
- SMS gateway
- Jabber server
- QR code ( http://delivr.com/qr-code-generator ) stickers and/or stencils containing a link or information about the network in a given area. Keep with the nodes and/or on the nodes.
- Have a file repo available and linked off the captive portal containing mesh network packages, etc. Piratebox ( http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox ) perhaps.
- Local copies of Wikipedia or Appropedia for reference use.
- To catch everyone up, as the wiki has been neglected :( :
- At last count we have 3 WRT54G devices meshing using Brimstone's custom slim build.
- strages purchased/obtained 8 TP-Link wr710N wireless routers, 3 of which have been flashed with openwrt.
- strages purchased a fair sized clear blue water proof box and an 1800mAh battery pack that might work well for the wr710n's. Testing will ensue.
- strages purchased a 45W solar array with power converter for use with the field day portion of this project.
- strages purchased a 5W solar panel for use with the field day portion of this project.
- Stopped by Batteries+ and found 42Ah AGM battery for $76.99 and battery boxes for $12.99. The battery boxes should provide decent weather proofing so long as they're not submerged. Might want to paint them white so as to not absorb so much heat (they're black plastic). Still trying to workout a small footprint solar charging solution.

- <brimstone> 03:00:31 +brimstone | !note strages* At this point in our program, brimstone takes a victory lab as Josh is now running a usable openwrt.
- <brimstone> 03:01:38 +brimstone | 1708032 works
- <brimstone> 03:02:47 +brimstone | 1773568 doesn't
- <brimstone> 03:06:18 +brimstone | i could hack it in there like this one
- <brimstone> 03:09:01 +brimstone | let's see if i can sneak batman-adv into it now
- <brimstone> 03:11:02 +brimstone | !note strages* Now turn to page 2: batman_adv: B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced 2011.2.0 (compatibility version 12) loaded
- <brimstone> 03:12:35 +brimstone | !note strages* i apparently have removed wifi drivers, this is a beast for another day, monday perhaps
- [23:16] <+brimstone> !note strages* wifi passes traffic in adhoc mode
- [08:56] <strages_work> how did you get it working?
- [08:56] <+brimstone> which part?
- [08:56] <strages_work> I guess what I'm asking, what had to be removed to get wifi and batman-adv in there
- [08:57] <+brimstone> ssh, firewall support, anything crypto related
- [08:57] <+brimstone> usb and network file system support from the kernel
- [08:57] <+brimstone> some wireless regulation stuff (crda)
- [08:58] <+brimstone> pretty progress bars off wget
- [08:58] <+brimstone> a hand full of other things
- [08:58] <+brimstone> i don't remember all right now
- [09:06] <strages_work> fantastic work
- [09:06] <strages_work> thank you
- [09:09] <+brimstone> it's not quite done
- [09:09] <+brimstone> there's still not a good way to change configurations
- [09:11] <strages_work> but one can be set initially?
- [09:12] <+brimstone> yes, but i'm not sure if that's a good thing to do
- [14:44] <+brimstone> strages_work: why did i ask you to send me that lsmod and dmesg output?
- [14:45] <strages_work> oh, you were going to check what driver they were using to do VAPs
- [14:46] <strages_work> you might find some other interesting stuff in there as well
- [14:47] <+brimstone> it's interesting that a lot of the hardware's the same
- [14:47] <strages_work> right
- [14:48] <strages_work> *it's mostly just memory contraints
- [14:48] <strages_work> cheaper manufacturing
- [14:48] <+brimstone> i think the multiple VAPs are controlled by hostapd, and i don't have space for that graaaaa
- 17:19 <+brimstone> strages_work: i tweaked the lzma settings and saved another k out of the kernel
- 17:51 <+brimstone> Kernel: Old: 809812 New: 784844 Size change: -24968
- 17:51 <+brimstone> Busybox: Old: 407679 New: 407679 Size change: 0

- 17:51 <+brimstone> Room: 4096
- 17:51 <+brimstone> It's good!
- 17:57 < strages_shop> :D
- 17:57 <+brimstone> this might be it
- 17:57 <+brimstone> but it may still give you problems
- 17:57 < strages_shop> oh man oh man oh man
- 17:57 <+brimstone> i removed some of the routing stuff
- 17:57 <+brimstone> and the qos
- 17:57 <+brimstone> and some queuing stuff
- 17:57 < strages_shop> hmm
- 17:58 <+brimstone> but it's got batman, and wifi firmware, and it's small enough to flash
- 17:58 < strages_shop> works on Josh?
- 17:58 <+brimstone> yup
- 14:28 <+brimstone> strages_home: you didn't tell me these routers only had 8MB of ram too
- 14:35 < strages_home> I didn't know it was an issue :(
- 14:35 <+brimstone> yup
- 14:36 <+brimstone> i've got butterscotch in a weird state too
- 14:36 <+brimstone> boots up fine, then does something to corrupt itself
- 14:42 < strages_home> hmm
- 14:43 <+brimstone> i'm reflashing butterscotch with stock openwrt
- 14:43 <+brimstone> leaves him at least usable
- 14:44 < strages_home> kk
- 14:44 < strages_home> he's a 2.2 which means that's fine
- 14:44 <+brimstone> yeah, but my firmware should have worked
- 14:45 <+brimstone> so there's debugging that
- 14:45 < strages_home> oh you were testing it for use on all the devices, not just the 2MB ones
- 14:45 <+brimstone> yup
- 14:46 < strages_home> buterscotch is 4MB
- 14:46 <+brimstone> right
- 14:46 <+brimstone> why does the 1.7MB firmware fail?
- 14:46 < strages_home> not a clue
- 14:47 < strages_home> check lsmod and dmesg dumps for differences?
- 14:47 <+brimstone> probably the jffs2 stuff getting in the way
- 15:06 <+brimstone> yup, the jffs2 stuff
- 15:11 <+brimstone> pfft, batctl wants a debugfs
- 15:13 < strages_home> don't need it
- 15:38 <+brimstone> debugfs is so biiiiiiig
- 15:39 <+brimstone> +70k!
- 17:54 <+brimstone> Mesh: Built
- [09:56] <strages_work> brimstone: is there a config being written somewhere on Josh that contrains all the settings for the mesh?
- [09:56] <+brimstone> no, josh doesn't have room to save configs
- [09:57] <+brimstone> but /etc/init.d/mesh-setup and /etc/init.d/mesh-finish are the static files i hard coded into the firmware to set it up
- [09:57] <strages_work> ok
- [09:59] <strages_work> I'm thinking we need to replicate those settings in a config file for the 4MB devices and just run straight openwrt 10.3.1 on them. This would let us use tools like batctl etc on at least some of the devices.
- [10:01] <+brimstone> we could also just pull the batctl binary from the package and replace it on the 4MB ones
- [10:01] <+brimstone> the stock firmware has a lot of extra baggage
- [10:01] <+brimstone> ppp, luci, etc
- [10:03] <strages_work> can hostap be installed like that as well?
- [10:03] <+brimstone> yes
- [10:04] <strages_work> ok
- [10:06] <strages_work> so right now, we can install your openwrt image on all the devices (at least the ones we've tested thus far), they'll mesh, and we add packages as needed given room on the device?
- [10:06] <+brimstone> should be able to
- [10:06] <+brimstone> i made sure opkg was still on there
- [10:07] <strages_work> alright because I'm shooting for as little setup time as possible given that it's supposed to be an emergency network
- [10:08] <strages_work> there are a few spinoff ideas after I finish this one utilizing the same or similar setup
- [10:09] <strages_work> like having them in client mode on one of the virtual aps and auto connection to open wireless networks effectively extending the range of existing infrastructure
- [10:09] <strages_work> *auto connecting
- [10:10] <+brimstone> that'll be gross if you're not careful
- [10:10] <strages_work> right, it's just an idea
- [10:10] <+brimstone> as long as you're only linking to one network it should be ok
- [10:11] <strages_work> or use a decent routing protocol to prevent routing loops
- [10:12] <+brimstone> it's more then that
- [10:12] <+brimstone> you can't link to 192.168.1.0/24 networks, you'll get conflicting ips
- [10:12] <+brimstone> you'll knock valid users off networks, or your own users
- [10:13] <strages_work> that seems fixable by using some other network range though by default...
- [10:13] <+brimstone> you don't control the open wifis you're connecting to
- [10:13] <+brimstone> you might be able to do some double/triple nat weirdness, but that's gross
- [10:15] <strages_work> sure I would have difficulty hosting services on the network, but that wasn't really the plan
- [10:15] <+brimstone> you also start limited the range as you're adding additional TTLs
- [10:15] <+brimstone> or subtracting as the case may be
- [10:15] <strages_work> true
- [10:17] <strages_work> regardless this is all hypothetical right now. Getting everything working as an emergency network is the plan then it's building communication services on top of that
- [10:17] <+brimstone> yup
- [10:17] <strages_work> captive portal, message board, chat, possibly crude voip
- [10:18] <strages_work> I wonder if android can do batman-adv
- Matt Robinson - I might finally have it. Will start testing tonight. 04:38PM 17 Jan

- a 7Ah battery should run a WRT54G for ~29 hours [1]
- "And as a reference point, it was found that a 55 AH SLA battery with a 45W amorphous solar panel under decidedly sub-optimal conditions can run a WRT54G indefinitely." [2]
- With the custom 2MB openwrt-10.3.1 image that brimstone is developing, if there is no mesh IP defined it will assume 192.168.10.2 .
- Multiple SSIDs cannot be done with the custom 2MB image, but can on the 4MB devices.
- This is due to the limited number of packages available due to memory constraints.
- To enter failsafe mode on the wr703n routers, hit the reset switch multiple times immediately upon plugging it in. The blue light will begin blinking rapidly if done correctly. You should now be able to set your ethernet IP to 192.168.1.233 and telnet to 192.168.1.1. Run the command mount_root to mount the root filesystem and edit files to restore connectivity.

Customer Comments
Thanks to FragranceX.com I found my favorite eau de toilette, after a year of looking for in several stores in town. The tracking of the order was very accurate, and I even received a e-mail with the exact date of the delivery. I also like to thank them to be a sponsor of "Music of Your Life" network that plays the best music ever recorded.

Comments about Neroli Sauvage Cologne:
Neroli Sauvage is a rich and smooth fragrance with notes of almost bitter Neroli. The Citrus in the fragrance isn't overly sweet or sparkly, instead, it works to mellow and even out the bitter Neroli. The smooth woods and the Creed house note finish it off, making it one of Creed's most refined and understated scents. Unfortunatley, the sillage has very little staying power.
