text: Contractor Mortgages Calculate how muchyou can borrowas a contractor Dear Contractor Doctor, As an IT contractor and a sole director and shareholder of my own contractor limited company with no dependants and modest living expenses, I often find myself building up a significant amount of cash during the financial year. Add to that saved VAT money and what I set aside for tax, and it's a huge chunk of cash sitting earning virtually nothing in a business deposit account. I want to make this cash work harder for me during the year and I've been reading about business offset mortgages that let you use the spare cash built up over time from your business to save on mortgage interest payments. According to bank websites, the money for the business stays in the business account but offsets the balance in the personal mortgage account. Can I use surplus cash on deposit from my contractor limited company to offset my personal mortgage? Thanks Roderick Contractor Doctor says: According to James Abbott of contractor accountant Abbott Moore LLP, several problems arise when a contractor tries to make use of limited company funds in an offset arrangement against personal debt. And these problems could result in a hefty tax bill from HMRC or even, in extreme cases, prosecution under the provisions of the Companies Act. "The first question is whether the contractor's limited company allowing its money to be used by the contractor director to offset personal debts is a beneficial loan for tax purposes," explains Abbott. "If the use of this facility was termed by HMRC as a beneficial loan and the sum loaned was above £5,000, this would result in the director incurring income tax, at rates of 20%, 40% or 50% on the notional rate of interest (currently 4.0% at the time of writing) of the loan. In addition, the company would pay Class 1A National Insurance Contributions (currently 12.8% at the time of writing) also based on the notional interest rate." Beneficial loan rules are broad As Abbott explains, although bank literature might say that the business's money technically remains in the business account, the shareholder is deriving the benefit from the money, and the legislation is broad, saying transactions that are "arranging, guaranteeing or in any way facilitating a loan" would be considered beneficial. "If the bank has the right to offset the personal loan against the company's money, HMRC would argue strongly that it would be caught under the beneficial loan rules," warns Abbott. "Alternatively," he continues, "HMRC may argue that the interest forgone by the company should be charged as a benefit in kind [BIK] on the director, as this would be a cost to the company of providing the benefit. Both are real risks." In another scenario, Abbott suggests that HMRC might argue that the money was effectively a directors' loan. In this case S419 tax would apply, landing the contractor's limited company with an equally nasty tax bill. Directors must act in the best interests of the company "In addition to the tax implications of using company money to offset personal debts, contractors may also be flouting new rules introduced by the Companies Act 2006," explains Abbott. "These rules are quite explicit about directors' responsibilities, in particular where there is a conflict of interest or benefit derived by the director." New duties from 1 October 2007 include a requirement to promote the success of the company, and from 1 October 2008 not to accept benefits from third parties, plus a duty to declare an interest in a transaction. In extreme cases, breaking these rules can lead to prosecution in the courts. "For the vast majority of contractor limited companies with one or two directors and shareholders, the new provisions for directors are unlikely to be enforced, as an action can only be brought against a contractor by the company itself, or a liquidator when the company is in liquidation." Sole traders and partnerships can use offset mortgages Banking products that allow proprietors of businesses to use their business balances to offset personal debts, such as mortgages, are primarily designed for sole traders and partnerships, where the individuals are the company and there may not even be a separate account for the business. In addition to the tax implications of using company money to offset personal debts, contractors may also be flouting new rules introduced by the Companies Act 2006James Abbott, Abbott Moore LLP "I would never recommend any kind of offset mortgage product where the contractor wants to use funds still held in a limited company bank account as part of the offset arrangement," concludes Abbott. "However, contractors can still use funds held in personal banks accounts to offset a personal mortgage.

Comment on this article Added: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 I don't agree. My accountants said that there is a 0.00001% chance of ever being investigated for such a matter. HMRC have better things to do than be concerned about one man Limited comapny contractors offsetting their mortgage with retained profits. Just remember to put the funds in before the end of year accounts. [Editor: Unfortunately this reader is taking very bad advice from his accountant and is evading tax. Especially more so because since 2002 accountants by law are required to report on clients they suspect (not proven - just suspect) may be evading tax. If a loan over £5K is taken during the year then interest is payable from you to your company at rates specified by HMRC. Also, if the loan is repaid before year end (to avoid the 25% directors loan charge), and then taken out straight away in the next year then HMRC may well argue "substance over form" and a 25% will be chargeable.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or "BJJ" is a ground fighting system that has quickly popularized worldwide since its start in 1914 when Mitsuyo Maeda traveled to Brazil. Mitsuyo was an expert of several martial arts and was sent from Japan overseas to teach his martial arts. When Mitsuyo landed in Brazil he was teaching his martial arts and that is when members of the Gracie family became interested.
Gastao Gracie, a business man, allowed Mitsuyo to perform a "seminar" type demonstration showing various precursors to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu such as Japanese Jiu Jitsu, which is for the most part modern day Judo. Gastao brought his two sons to this martial arts seminar and they were both very interested. His older son, Carlos Gracie was immediately interested and became a student of Mitsuyo. But, in the end it was his younger brother Helio Gracie who is widely credited as the founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Carlos and Helio began teaching this art and relocated to Rio De Janeiro, the true home of BJJ. In my opinion BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is the most complete martial art to this date. Although BJJ teaches strikes, there is no need to strike, no need to injure your opponent, it is a "smart" form of fighting. The way to submit your opponent is simple; make them tap-out either verbally or physically tapping you or the matt. The way to make your opponent tap is by way of submission, whether it is an arm bar, kimura, triangle choke, knee bar, etc. all of which are without strikes and do not require lots of strength; these techniques are based on speed and intelligence. A submission is either a choke, strangle, joint lock, or in some cases a pressure point.
I train at Gracie Barra Naples with my Dad and several others from Marco. We are fortunate to have a Gracie Balk Belt locally. I have studied other martial art forms with my Dad but still find that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best and will continue to train in it for as long as I can, especially at a welcoming place like Gracie Barra (pronounced Bah-ha) Naples. GB Naples is run by Professor Paulo Ribeiro a 2nd degree Black Belt and his wife, martial artist and kickboxer, Natalie Ribeiro. There are less than 300 GB Black Belts in the world and less than a dozen Black Belts in Florida so having a Gracie Barra gym in Naples is awesome.
BJJ has been the quickest growing martial art over the past years. It has evolved from a Japanese form to a Brazilian ground fighting system to a complete martial art to one of the best martial arts in the world. It can be seen in grappling tournaments, self defense and MMA fights such as the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) which is the most popular fight company in the world and growing. BJJ is here to stay and is getting more popular everyday,
When asked, "What does Gracie Barra mean to you?" All of Professor Paulo's students would have the same answer: A family. I love training in Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. I know it makes my Dad proud because he has trained in the martial arts for over 30 years but it goes beyond that for me. I am proud to be a part of the Gracie family and confident in my abilities. I look forward to competing in a NAGA (North American Grappling Association) sanctioned tournament and will keep you updated.
For more information on Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu contact Professor Paulo Ribeiro at (239) 331-7320 or visit their website at: http://www.graciebarranaplesfl.com/
again i welcome comments and if i have misstated somehting or have incorrect info let me know. thank you alex

OU Sooners can finally walk tall with BCS gorilla off their backs
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The truth came out Saturday night in the Fiesta Bowl, when the Sooners routed Connecticut 48-20 and scattered the demons of bowl lapses past.
This BCS losing streak rankled the Sooners. Rankled them bad.
How bad? Stoic Landry Jones said his blood boiled watching replays of some of Oklahoma football's recent bowl troubles.
"It made me mad personally, just seeing those things," Jones said.
Anger and disgust, the emotions that defined OU's two most recent trips to the desert, were nowhere to be found on this chilly Arizona night in University of Phoenix Stadium.
The wacky Boise State game? The stunning West Virginia rout? This game was nothing like those.
This Fiesta Bowl went exactly as scripted. Rarely does a football game play out as expected, but this one did.
Too much talent on the Sooner side, not enough offensive firepower on the UConn side.
The Huskies, as scrutinized as any BCS team in recent history, turned out be just what we thought they were. A gritty team. A well-coached team. A solid team.
But not a team that could keep up with Jones and his wizard offense. Not a team that could consistently dent a Sooner defense that loves one-dimensional offenses. Not a team that could make the Sooners question their ability to win on this stage.
Zip-zip-zip went Jones and his offense on OU's first drive, which consisted of nine plays and produced six first downs. Four of the plays were for double-digit yardage, and only Jones' eight-yard TD pass to tight end James Hanna came on third down.
Zip-zip-zip went Jones on OU's second drive, another nine plays, another incredibly easy thrust. The only third down was a 3rd-and-1, and DeMarco Murray's three-yard TD run made it 14-0.
At that point, you thought the Sooners might win 52-3.
"They're talented," said UConn coach Randy Edsall. "They have the guy that can pull the trigger and they got the running back (DeMarco Murray) to go with it."
But enough bad-Fiesta memories bubbled — two Connecticut returns for touchdowns, a couple of turnovers — kept the game interesting and made the Sooners work for that gaudy trophy that rightfully means so much to them.
OU returned two interceptions for touchdowns itself; Broyles and Cameron Kenney kept making huge plays; Jeremy Beal's proud defense refused to let Connecticut reach the end zone; and soon enough the BCS jinx was over.
"It's huge," linebacker Travis Lewis. "It's huge to get this monkey off the back. To come out and play defense, it's huge. Coming into next year, the sky's the limit for this team."
The Sooners suddenly end this season on a five-game winning streak, their best stretch drive since the 2000 national championship season.
After that Nov. 6 loss at Texas A&M, Lewis said the Sooners told themselves "we're a better team than this. If we can stop shooting ourselves in the foot, I think we're the best team in the country."
Even playing like this, OU is not the best team in the country. But the Sooners could be the best team in the country next season, and this Fiesta Bowl could launch such a bid.
And they will walk tall, with the gorilla gone.

PHNOM PENH: The sentencing of former Khmer Rouge leaders Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea to life in prison for crimes against humanity on Thursday marks a day that has been long awaited in Cambodia.
It's a day that many people thought would never come to pass. Considering all the time that has elapsed since the crimes were committed, it's a miracle that we have come to today's judgment. Justice has been done at long last.
Life imprisonment is the maximum penalty that can be applied by the court and this has been handed down today to the two surviving leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime.
The verdict has been delivered despite the political and financial difficulties faced by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). The constant doubts and incessant criticism of the ECCC made things very difficult.
We know that the pace of international justice is very slow and that it has been eight years since the court was established. But the real difficulty was the time that elapsed before the court was set up.
So many of the survivors died in the intervening period. So did many perpetrators including Pol Pot himself and other senior leaders. In the end, we were left with only two.
The verdict has highlighted the importance of the court as a national court with international participation and assistance.
Other international courts tend to be distant from the crimes and also far removed from the victims so they don't have the same resonance and impact.
Here in Cambodia, a quarter of a million people came to the court during the trials. Nothing like this has ever happened anywhere in the world and this is quite unique.
The other unprecedented aspect has been the direct participation of civil parties. We had almost 4,000 civil parties in this case. They were able to tell their stories in court, explain their sufferings and claim reparations.
The decision by the court on reparations is most welcome. The different measures requested by civil parties range from making May 20 a National Remembrance Day and building memorials.
Other reparations cover areas such as school textbooks, testimonial and self-help therapy to assist victims who are still suffering extreme emotional distress along with both permanent and mobile exhibitions explaining what happened under the Khmer Rouge and the work of the court itself.
It's a wide range of creative and positive reparations especially requested by the victims.
Many who doubted the process have questioned the amount of money spent by Cambodia and the international community on the proceedings.
Equivalent to around US$100 (RM319) a head for the almost two million people who died under the Khmer Rouge, it seems a small price to pay for the families of the victims and the younger generation of Cambodians for which this dark period in the country's history has until now been obscure. - The Cambodia Herald / ANN
The author, who has been working with the royal government task force on the Khmer Rouge trials since 1999, is former chief of public affairs and head of the victims support section at the extraordinary chambers in the courts of Cambodia.

This fresh and elegant translation of one hundred tales from twenty-five centuries of Chinese literature opens up a magical world far from our customary haunts. Illustrated with woodcuts.
With black-and-white drawings throughout
Part of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library.
About the Author
Roberts is Professor of Chinese at New York University.
Praise For…
"Brimming with magic and mortals, these enchanting legends and myths bring to mind familiar fables, yet posses an aura that is wholly Chinese . . . Enlightening and enjoyable reading."
"These tales from China are richly underscored by an ancient philosophical battle— the Taoist challenge to the hierarchical rigidity of the Confucian order— which gives the stories an edge and power uniquely their own. An enthralling collection."
—Los Angeles Times

Hugh Robertson's big race worry
SPORTS minister Hugh Robertson fears racism is continuing to blight English football.
I think most of us would be worried by the recurrence of the issues
Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Chelsea defender John Terry were both banned for racist incidents in the last 12 months.
"I think most of us would be worried by the recurrence of the issues," Robertson told the BBC.
Asked if the FA, who suspended Terry for four games, should have been harder on the ex-England captain, Robertson added: "Yes, I think in retrospect the answer to that is yes."
He also said he suspected that UEFA president Michel Platini felt that the penalties dished out to Serbia (following the Under-21 match against England in October) were not tough enough.
"Quite a few black players have asked to come and see me to talk through the problems,"
he said. "They clearly feel there aren't enough black coaches, there aren't enough black managers, there's a glass ceiling.
"That's why developments like St George's Park are going to be so important to bring through a new generation of black coaches and black managers to try and tackle this.
"Just look at the FA council, and ask yourself how many ex black players and how many women there are on that body, it's not a great advertisement."

The Pewee Valley branch of PNC Bank will close in February.
Bob Rogers, mayor of Pewee Valley, announced the closure Monday during Pewee's monthly town council meeting. PNC Bank is located on Ky. 146 in Pewee Valley near the Oldham-Jefferson border.
To slow traffic outside Pewee Valley Town Hall, officials decided Monday to purchase a removable speed hump to install on Mount Mercy Drive.
Mayor Bob Rogers said speeding on Mount Mercy Drive near town hall and the doctor's office next door puts pedestrians at risk. The town council lowered the speed limit on Mount Mercy from 25 to 15 mph, but Rogers and other council members agree that speeding continues to be a problem.
Representatives from emergency services and other officials met recently to discuss how local agencies are handing the H1N1 virus.
Dory Livy of the Oldham County Health Department explained what many already know about the virus " H1N1 cases are reported throughout the U.S., state and Oldham County. She said no specific age group has been significantly affected.
County officials approved a general obligation bond ordinance Tuesday allowing the Oldham County Sewer District to refinance $7.4 million of its debt.
According to the ordinance, by refinancing through a general obligation bond, the county is avoiding another rate increase for OCSD customers.
In addition, OCSD will agree to provide revenue to the county to make principal and interest payments.
Public response to the ordinance has been mixed and several spoke up at the public hearing after receiving a flier from Magistrate Scott Davis.
A fiery crash on I-71 in the wee hours of Sept. 30 left a La Grange man dead.
Police responded to a two-vehicle crash on I-71 north near milemarker 13 at 3:18 a.m. Sept. 30. Witnesses told police a red 1992 Ford Explorer traveling northbound swerved into the right shoulder, striking a parked semi and causing the Explorer to burst into flames. The driver of the vehicle, 36-year-old Terrance Klein, of La Grange, died at the scene.
A partial burn ban for the county expired earlier this month. According to the Kentucky Division of Forestry, though there is no local ban in place, outdoor burning is illegal from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. "in or within 150 feet of any wood land or brush land through Dec. 15.
For information about fire hazard seasons, outdoor burning laws and safe burning practices, visit forestry.ky.gov.
The regularly scheduled fiscal court meeting Nov. 17 has been moved to 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16.
The court voted on the meeting date change due to a Kentucky Association of Counties Conference taking place Nov. 17 that several magistrates and Judge-Executive Duane Murner will be attending.
Judge-Executive Duane Murner gave first-step recommendations for Cheryl D. Sabin and James F. Zimmerman for the tourism commission at Tuesday's fiscal court meeting. The two would take the place of Liska Coggeshall and Kay Webb, who each asked to be relieved of their positions. The court will vote on the recommendations at their next regular meeting, Oct. 20.
La Grange officials are once again considering a nuisance ordinance to kick garbage cans back from the curb.
City officials heard a first reading Monday night of a nuisance ordinance tabled in December 2007.
The ordinance aims to limit accumulation of debris and abandoned or unused objects or equipment.
The ordinance outlines examples of that equipment and provides that garbage containers left on the street either 24 hours before or after scheduled pickup will be declared a nuisance.

Basketball Fans Ready for Touchstone Tourney
Downtown Oklahoma City will be invaded by basketball fans on Saturday for the 67th edition of what began as the All-College Basketball Tournament in 1937.
It is the oldest college basketball tournament.
The Touchstone Energy All-College Basketball Classic at the Ford Center will feature Oklahoma State University vs. Brigham Young University at 5:30 p.m. and the University of Oklahoma vs. Michigan State at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18, $35 and $42.
The All-College Basketball Tournament was first sponsored and organized by the Oklahoma Publishing Co. The All Sports Association was formed in 1957 to serve as sponsor. For the next 43 years, the All Sports Association played a large role in hosting as many as 32 teams each year.
In 2000, the All Sports Association decided to secure a title sponsor to enhance the event and provide the financial support necessary to recruit the quality teams. At the same time, the electric cooperatives of Oklahoma, under the brand name Touchstone Energy, were also looking for sponsorship opportunities.
"As we (Touchstone Energy) were looking for sponsorship opportunities, we quickly realized the benefits of becoming the title sponsor of the All-College Basketball Tournament," said Western Farmers Electric Cooperative General Manager Jim O'Neill. "We have been extremely pleased with our partnership with the All Sports Association and the results the sponsorship money has enabled the event to accomplish."
"Touchstone Energy was selected because they had a very strong name in the local and national market," said Tim Brassfield, All Sports Association executive director. "Electric cooperatives are very stable companies with a reputation for successfully marketing other sports-related activities under the Touchstone Energy brand."
The tournament was altered to a two-game classic format in 2001, moving the games to just one night and creating a new name -- the Touchstone Energy All-College Basketball Classic. For the first time this year, ESPN and ESPN2 will broadcast the games live.
"The All-College Classic was a sellout last year, and it appears it will be again this year," O'Neill said. "We especially look forward to the exciting changes this year of moving to the Ford Center and our partnership with ESPN."
Since beginning their partnership, Touchstone Energy and the All Sports Association have also created two new events, the Touchstone Basketball Adventure and Leadership Summit, providing more opportunities for families to participate in sports-related activities the day of the games.
"The financial benefits from Touchstone's title sponsorship has allowed us to better the field, specifically through obtaining better quality teams as well as increasing exposure of the event," Brassfield said.
Touchstone Energy and the All Sports Association also present the Touchstone Basketball Adventure, now in its second year. A hands- on, interactive kids event, the Touchstone Basketball Adventure is free and open to the public. Scheduled in the Cox Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, the Basketball Adventure includes inflatables, the AT&T Wireless Hoop World, Sports City U Basketball Clinic and prizes.
Touchstone Energy and 20 of Oklahoma's local electric cooperatives also present Leadership Summit, an all-day seminar designed to provide high school students an opportunity to receive valuable training from coaches, learn reporting skills from members of the media and write press releases for submission to their local newspapers. …

I currently own a mid 90s Cannondale M300 SE (mountain bike). It is equipped with a bunch of junky components and I want to convert it to a single speed. I've tried researching it, but with so many options and opinions, I am confused. Could anyone offer some advice as to where I could source the necessary parts for the conversion? and what those parts might be specifically? I would like to keep the brakes and have a free wheel. The bike currently has a 21-speed setup of which I consistently use the outer (3rd) sprocket of the crank, and the 5th or 6th sprocked of the cassette. I would like to gear the bike in a similar configuration as a single speed, probably 3 front and 5 rear and without a chain tensioner setup. The bike does not have vertical drops. I would not mind replacing the crank as it looks like it weighs 20lbs. Finaly, not sure if it matters, but the hubs are XTR.
I apologize in advance for my ignorance and appreciate any advice or direction.

I have a TIME ZXRS electronic frame that I am trying to put together with Dura Ace Di2 (external battery).
The frame comes with a plastic battery bracket with 2 bolt holes. It is obvious that one bolt mounts onto one of the threaded holes on the lower downtube. However, the other hole on the plastic bracket lines up with an unthreaded plain hole on the bottom of the BB shell - this is the part that confuses me.
I have not been able to find any information from the internet, and my nearest TIME dealer is a good distance away from where I live.
If anyone can help or post a good pictures, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

Your most crowning gaming achievement, online or offline.
Wow. Well this is difficult. Offline I would probably have to say beating a level of Halo 3's campaign on legendary with all the skulls on. (Like seriously wtf was I thinking?)
Oh maybe completing the Pokedex in Gen 3 as well, was pretty proud of myself there.
Online: Probably something to do with League of legends. Possibly how I'm on/really close to the pro lvl when playing Fizz which makes it unfair for the other team. >.>
If you want I can give you a bunch of ideas so you can get the ball rolling on your own ideas! If you really cant think of any, why not read a book and try and extrapolate it into a video game kind of idea/story line? That could work.

OSU recruiting notebook: Keon Hatcher still committed to Arkansas 'for right now'
Owasso's Keon Hatcher, an Oklahoman All-State wide receiver, went on an official visit to Oklahoma State this weekend.
In a text message, the Arkansas commit told The Oklahoman the visit was "going great," but that he remains committed to the Razorbacks, "for right now."
He has been committed to Arkansas since August, but received his OSU offer in late November.
Hatcher, who was a key player on Owasso's run to the Class 6A semifinals during his senior year, caught 20 touchdown passes and had 1,610 yards receiving.
Los Angeles athlete Jaydon Mickens picked up an offer from Oklahoma State days after an impressive performance in the Semper Fi-All American game in Arizona, Rivals.com reported.
Mickens, rated by Rivals as the No. 13 athlete in the class of 2012, said running backs coach Jemal Singleton made the offer shortly after he returned home from the game.
Mickens told Rivals that Singleton said he would "be perfect for their offense."
"He told me that they don't want to bring me in and sit on the bench or redshirt or anything like that," Mickens said. "He wanted me to come in and play right away."
Oklahoma State is coming in late for Mickens — it is less than three weeks until National Signing Day on Feb. 1 — but the four-star prospect said he is interested in the Cowboys' program. He is in Stillwater visiting this weekend.
He has already visited Washington and will visit Oregon next weekend.
Arroyo Grande (Calif). Linebacker Seth Jacobs is also in Stillwater this weekend for an official visit.
Jacobs, a four-star prospect, has already visited Arizona State and Arkansas, and took an unofficial visit to Stillwater in June, Rivals.com reported.
Coach Glenn Spencer has been Jacobs' primary recruiter, he said.
"He's a great guy," Jacobs told Rivals.com. "He's very honest and a great man. I'm really looking forward to being there with him at Oklahoma State."
He said he'll take official visits to Colorado and UCLA after the Oklahoma State trip, and won't commit until he signs on Feb. 1.
"I haven't committed through this whole process and I do plan on announcing on signing day," he said. "I will be notifying the coaching staffs about what's going on beforehand but no one will know where I'll be at."
Oklahoma State will host 13 prospects, including nine current Cowboy commitments, next weekend, according to Rivals.com.
The current commits that will visit:
OL Greg Brantley (Carthage, Texas), WR C.J. Curry (Flowery Branch, Ga.), DE Eric Davis (Tyler, Texas), DE Victor Irokansi (Pflugerville, Texas), DB Aaron Lampkin (Fort Worth, Texas), OL Paul Lewis (Galena Park, Texas), TE Zac Veatch (Broken Arrow), WR Blake Webb (The Woodlands, Texas).
Uncommitted prospects that will visit:
DB Trae Elson (Oxford, Ala, currently uncommitted), DB LaDarrell McNeil, Dallas, currently committed to Tennessee, QB Louie Pappas (Tarpon Springs, Fla., current uncommitted), WR Javon Williams (Chandler, Ariz., currently uncommitted).

Obama calls Alan Grayson an "Outstanding" Congressman a month after Grayson calls Ben Bernanke adviser Linda Robertson a "K Street Whore"
Linda Robertson is an adviser Ben Bernanke. About a month ago, nutjob Alan Grayson was doing an interview, and while discussing Robertson, he calls her a "K Street whore"
Now, let us remember, this is the same nutjob Alan Grayson who compared health care to the holocaust, said Republicans' health care plans were intended for Americans to "die quickly.", calls Fox News the "enemy of the people", calls Dick Cheney a vampire, and numerous other stupid comments. Of course, for Democrats, this passes as simply free speech, with no mention at all of repremanding this nutjob, unlike what happened to Joe Wilson when he yelled "YOU LIE" at Obama during his propaganda speech to Congress. Obama is also a big fan of Grayson, calling him an "outstanding" congressman last night, nearly one month after Grayson's K Street Whore comment.
Earlier in the day, Grayson refused to apologize for his remarks, but later released a template style apology. Lets see if Obama/Gibbs distance themselves and throw Grayson under the bus tommorow:

"I offer my sincere apology to Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke," Grayson said in a statement emailed to reporters. "I did not intend to use a term that is often, and correctly, seen as disrespectful of women."
"This characterization of Ms. Robertson, made during a radio interview last month in the context of the debate over whether the Federal Reserve should be independently audited, was inappropriate, and I apologize," he added.

Always beautiful sunsets in the harbor. Photo taken by Betty H.
While fixing something on the mast....I think I'll look for photo opportunities.
Ready for takeoff...
06/26/2011, Charleston Harbor
The heat should have chased us out of here long ago, but we continue to work hard getting the boat ready to set sail. We've been patiently waiting for Ed's dental crowns to arrive from the lab, but can't wait much longer. Our new plan is to leave by this weekend or the first of next week. Skylark had a survey done for marine insurance purposes and most things look good. But owning a boat is far more time consuming than a house and yard. It is an endless stream of repairing this, replacing that, and looking for something by pulling everything out of a locker (or two lockers, sometimes more), putting everything back in place after item is located, then realizing something else needs to be located and starting the process all over again. There are numerous runs to West Marine and WalMart (God bless them both) and we can never walk down the docks toward our rental car (which is exactly a 5 minute walk if everyone is napping) without having to stop and chat it up with several boaters along the way. Chats typically entail comments about the weather (we might as well live in Maine), gossip and complaints about the marina (we have very few).
Today we'll inventory EVERYTHING on the boat, make a shopping list for our journey, hang a mirror that's been stubbing our toes on the floor for a week now, and Ed will hoist himself up the mast for the 6th time to do something with something he did yesterday during which something was put on in such a way that now it touches something it shouldn't and needs to be moved. In sailor talk, the toggle for the new solent stay is touching the storm jib halyard sheave.
The kids came for a 3 day visit and it was great seeing them. Skylark performed beautifully on an afternoon sail, with a few minor issues we'll need to address at some point. We've had other visitors, but wish we'd been able to see everyone down here before leaving.
Then, we're off to Lookout Shoals, NC heading offshore for the first time with just the three of us. Luna is studying the charts, resting up and watching the weather. Are we ready? I suppose we'd better be, but yes, I think so.
06/12/2011, Charleston, SC
We are finally moved in/on Skylark. It was an arduous task closing down my private practice, resigning from Ed's job, selling the house, moving our possessions to 9 different locations (and selling, donating, etc), and then driving our car and trailer to Maine to store at my mom's. We didn't quite make it after having a major run-in with a deer in a hurry to get to the other side of the highway, but after some major adjustments to our plan, we left the car in Roanoke for repairs, hooked the trailer up to a 16' Budget rental truck and arrived in Bethel Maine at 3:30AM two days late. When the truck started leaking during a major rain squall, all we could do was laugh. It may have been the only time we laughed, but it counted.
We closed on our house June 3 and turned the keys over for good. We were scheduled to move everything to the boat that day but as all sailors understand, the weather had the final word. Given the intense heat which matched our intense exhaustion, we stayed at a friend's house for a couple of days, driving everything but one carload down on Sunday June 5. After unloading the car in the sweltering heat, we dumped it all and took naps in the cockpit. Slowly we have found homes for all our many things, including in the back of the rental car to be returned to storage back in Charlotte.
The morning after we arrived, Ed bought us a great a/c unit which makes life bearable on the boat but takes up a good bit of space. I don't think we could have survived without it.
And Luna? She is happy when she can hang with us, preferably both of us together. She's a good sport.
We have photos from friends visiting and sailing with us, photos from our niece's high school graduation in Maine, and other assorted pictures but I haven't figured out how to upload those yet. Give me some time and I'll get that done soon. Ed has been handling the blog but I will be the new "manager" from this point forward. Although we don't always have a good internet connection and at times we won't have one at all, I will attempt to keep everyone updated a couple of times a week. If you're a friend of Ed's on Facebook, you will be alerted when there's a new entry. But I am stubborn about Facebook so you won't know about updates unless you check the website periodically.
Thank you to everyone, and I do mean everyone for all the help, support, rescues, and emergency interventions you provided during the past several months. We are hugely grateful for all of you.
It seems strange to see different cars parked in your driveway :( We look forward to reading about your adventures!
We are pulling together our last big load of personals from the house and moving it all aboard Skylark this week. I have to move our CQR anchor out of the aft berth hanging locker and turn the locker over to Elizabeth and my clothes. My shirts have lived on top of that anchor for a couple years but it is time to make room for both of our things.
It's also time to do all the final wiring this week. We have Jeff the electric guru coming over at the end of the week to inspect all and complete some of my work. We have the aft deck lights, solar panels, HF Radio, stereo and water maker to review. Then we will head out into the harbor and Swing The Compass for the final tweak.
Above is a pic of the water maker location. Soon I will take the time to write into these paragraphs some basic HTML code that will throw photos into the dialog. Much more fun.

"Kingdom Of Cambodia - Home of Angkor" Cambodia by ngsway
Cambodia Travel Guide: 9,223 reviews and 26,468 photos
Cambodia is situated in Indochina, neighbouring Thailand, Vietnam and also Laos. Left in wreck after decades of instabilites, it is now awakens to catch up with the world.
My this trip to both Cambodia and Vietnam is the first real backpacking trip that I've taken. My group consist of 4 members, my sister, cousin, a friend; Adam and also myself. We decided to make an overland trip to save cost. This means we will be travelling without flight; bus from Kuala Lumpur to Haadyai, then to Bangkok. Continue our overland journey into Siem Reap, then by boat to Phnom Penh. To Saigon, we travel by bus, then back to Phnom Penh again thru the scenic Mekong Delta, by boat. We then travel to Sihanoukville before going back to Thailand by boat thru Koh Kong and bus all the way back to Kuala Lumpur.
This journey, for the unadventurous might sounds torturing. But for me, the journey itself is equally interesting as the destinations. We get to experience the effiecient Thailands public bus, the porthole-filled Cambodian Highway, the interesting boat trip at Mekong Delta and also not to mention the different and picturesque view all the way.
During this trip we visited the town Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City and also Sihanoukville....
Siem Reap is a small town about 15km from the Angkor group of monuments. It serves as the gateway and center for the tourist visiting Angkor. The town is packed with dozens of accomodations ranging from the hostel, guesthouse to the boutique hotels and 5 star luxury resorts. We stay in total of 3 nights in Siem Reap, having purchased a 3day pass to Angkor. However, we only went temple visiting for 2 full days as we got a bit 'over-templed' after the 2nd day and decide to leave earlier to Phnom Penh.
The temple visiting is spectacular. The sight of Angkor Wat that still stand proud after all the years, keep us wonder how skillful was the ancient Khmer people. Giant trees growing into the temple at Ta Phrom enables us to experience what Lara Croft or Indiana Jones might feel in their adventures.
Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia. French influenced architecture can be seen everywhere. We spend in total of 3 nights here, exploring its endless market, visiting the Toul Sleng museum, admiring its waterfront and also sampling its variety of culinary delights. However, a word of caution, as with any city, it is actually not as safe to travel alone at nights. There are stories of snatch thieves, robberies everywhere.
