text:
Nearly two centuries ago, a Texas municipal official was presented with a quandary: an unreasonable demand by an unconstitutional federal government intent on punishing his little town for showing a streak of initiative and an interest in governing itself.
That federal government dispatched a troop of cavalry to the little settlement to force the town's residents to comply with its demands: namely, the return of an antique, virtually-useless little cannon so small that all it really served to do was make a loud noise.
Nonetheless, Regidor Joseph Clements responded to the demand from Lt. Castaneda, representing the government of Mexico, that principle -- not practicality -- made his decision for him. His response to the Mexicans:
"This rigor Priveledg of consulting our chief seems is denied us the only answer I can therefore give you is that I cannot now will not deliver to you the cannon agreeable to my notions of peopriety---And these are also the sentiments of all the members of this Ayuntamiento who are now present. The sd cannon is now in this Town and if force it from us we must submit---We are weak and few in numbers but will nevertheless contend for what we believe to be just principles. God and Liberty Joseph D. Clements Regigor. Addressed: Franco Castenada, En el llano en frente de Gonzales."
On the morning of Oct. 2, facing a rag-tag lot of settlers across a field at Williams' Farm near Gonzales, Castaneda again demanded surrender of the cannon.
The response he got: "Come and Take It!"
Fast-forward to 2011. Once again, a federal government is attempting to usurp the constitutional rights of Texans, this time denying them their Fourth Amendment right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure by outlawing the groping of genatalia in airports by the Transportation Security Administration. State Rep. David Simpson authored the bill and it passed the state House, and was on the verge of passage in the state Senate under the sponsorship of Sen. Dan Patrick when a new Lt. Castaneda appeared on the scene, this time in the form of a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice.
As with Castaneda's saber-rattling of Sept. 30, 1835, the DOJ letter threatens an act of war against Texas: namely, a blockade on all air travel to and from the state unless the TSA perverts can grope as they will.
Unlike 1835, Texas had no Joseph Clements to stand for it: Texas bent over and grabbed its ankles, and Patrick was forced to withdraw the bill. "There was a time in this state, there was a time in our history, where we stood up to the federal government and we did not cower to rules and policies that invaded the privacy of Texans," he said.
Rep. Simpson saw the parallel: "I hope Texans would say come and show us the law … This is a Gonzales moment. 'Come and take it.'"
More and more, modern events are riding down the same road they did in 1835 which led to the Texas Revolution. The government in Washington has, in recent months, again and again tried to punish Texas for daring to question the federal government's supremacy on matters the U.S. Constitution makes exclusively the concerns "...of the States, or of the People."
When Texas refused to implement a nationalized education curriculum because that national curriculum (a) plays to the lowest common denominator and (b) is entirely unconstitutional, Congressman Lloyd Doggett authored an amendment to a war spending bill specifically designed to punish Texas' recalcitrance by denying it $860 million in federal funds it was due.
When Texas' economy began to recover because of the offshore oil boom, the administration used an accident off the coast of Louisiana as pretext to stop all new offshore oil drilling by U.S. companies -- then began awarding contracts to do exactly that to its friends in Brazil and Mexico. When technology enabling the easy extraction of oil and gas from shale formations, creating a new oil boom in Texas, the Environmental Protection Agency was tasked with initiating a new "study" to determine whether shale fracturing was environmentally safe -- a study which it's already conducted twice before and discovered no evidence of a danger of cross-contamination.
When Texas' economy continued to recover at a pace faster than the rest of the nation, the EPA suddenly decided that Texas has too many coal-fired power plants and would have to shut them down.
Texans, Lt. Castaneda has crossed the Guadalupe. I don't know about you, but I'm headed over to Williams' Farm.

Asus Transformer Prime bootloader unlock tool will be out next month
At the beginning of the year, Asus promised two things for the Transformer Prime tablet – an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (which is already out) and a bootloader unlock tool that would allow Android tinkerers to do fun custom stuff with this tablet (as they usually do with Android devices that don't come with locked bootloaders).
Now we know when to expect that tool – in February. That's according to Asus' own Twitter account, and the information thankfully is more concrete than the "soon" we heard earlier this month.
Expect the custom ROMs and mods to start arriving a few hours after this tool has been released. So in a few days (or a month or so) you'll be able to customize your Prime's software in any way you please. Now you just need to hold on to that patience for a little while longer.

Tami is a librarian at the Corte Madera Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
Earth Day was created to increase awareness of the Earth's natural environment, and it led to the modern environmental movement. The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, and was the brainchild of then senator Gaylord Nelson. He called for an environmental teach-in, and over 20 million people in the U.S. participated that year: http://www.earthday.org/earth-day-history-movement. The event capitalized on the energy of the anti-war protest movement, combined with the growing public consciousness of the need to protect the planet. It led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts. Today Earth Day is celebrated in over 180 countries around the world.
To find books in the library on Earth Day look under the subject heading: Earth Day. To find books on conserving the natural environment try some of the following subjects: Environmental Protection, Environmentalism, Recycling Waste, Energy Conservation, Green Movement, Climatic Changes, Sustainable Living, and Global Warming.
For more information on Sustainable Living go to the Marin County Free Library website, www.marinlibrary.org , and click on Research and Learning in the blue bar toward the top of the page. Under Resources by Subject, in the middle of the next page, click on the subject Sustainable Living .

Huge Teen Issue
Hey All
As you have probably all seen Teens texting and driving is a very big problem right now.
Check out The Dangers of Teen texting and driving
Read the article and come back here and let us know what you think. Do your kids text and drive? Have you had conversations with your teen about the dangers of texting and driving?
Host Marti
My kids are still young, so they don't have cell phones, but I know how scary this issue is. There was an e-mail going around a while ago w/ a very graphic picture of a car that was basically split in two by a mack truck. The driver was texting, and the accident was the result of his actions. W/out getting too graphic, I will only say, the scene was very disturbing. It most definitely opened my eyes to the severity of this problem.

Transgender woman's body discovered in Northwest Baltimore
ABC 2 confirms victim was sibling of NBA player
Baltimore - Baltimore City Police made a gruesome discovery early Wednesday morning in an alleyway behind Piedmont Avenue in the Northwest side of the city.
Officers say they were serving a warrant when they found the body of Kevin Long. The 26-year-old went by the name Mia Henderson. Investigators aren't giving many details, but say Henderson suffered severe trauma. They're calling her death a homicide.
"She appears to have been there for a few hours," said Lt. Col. David Reitz.
Police said they're investigating if the brutal killing is connected to the death of Ricky Hall. She was known as Kandy, and her body was found in Northeast Baltimore on June 3. Officers said Kandy was stabbed to death.
"We're looking at everything, all the evidence, any clue and everything to see if they're connected or not connected," Baltimore City Police Maj. Dennis Smith said. "We're checking to see if these victims ever had any contact with each other, we're looking at all different angles to see if they're related or not related."
Police met with members of the local LGBT community today to assure them the department is taking the crimes seriously.
"We need to solve this case, we need to solve the cases that are open, I will not slow down, I will not allow us to not stay on top of these, I will push extremely hard," said Baltimore City Police Commissioner Anthony Batts. "We want to be strong partners within our transgender community, not by talk but by actions as a whole."
These words aren't helping people like transgender woman Lasaia Wade feel safer at night. She said she feels targeted by the violence, and leery of law enforcement.
"There's a disconnect due to the fact that we don't trust them, there's a disconnect due to the fact that they don't trust us and they label us as certain things that we're not," she said.
"My family used to say the proof was in the pudding and we need this approached differently," Jacqueline Robarge said. "We cannot wait for the plans to unroll, we can't wait for the trainings or the other kinds of things that are in the works, we need action now."
"We need the partnership of the Police Department and the community to come together before anyone else dies," said Mark Mclaurin.
We spoke with members of Henderson's family Wednesday, but they didn't want to comment. ABC 2 News has learned LA Clippers player Reggie Bullock is Henderon's sibling. Through Twitter he says Henderson never cared what other people thought and would do anything for the family she loved.
@CatherineABC2 he lived his own life that's all I really want ppl to know...he was one that loved me and his immediate family to death.— Reggie Bullock (@ReggieBullock35) July 17, 2014
@CatherineABC2 he lived his own life that's all I really want ppl to know...he was one that loved me and his immediate family to death.— Reggie Bullock (@ReggieBullock35) July 17, 2014
City police say they need your help to solve this case. If you've seen anything suspicious or know anything about Henderson or Hall's deaths please give them a call.
"We need information, we need data, we want anyone to call and let us know through Metro Crime Stoppers."
That number is 1-866-7-LOCKUP.

For all the posturing of fragrant cooking and tradition, there was no real ignition of the senses. No real sense of India in the cooking, but rather a sense of pandering to the West. So what's the point?
Indian restaurants with a Michelin star are rare in the UK. The last one I tried was called Rasoi in Chelsea and that was not good. Not good at all. It made me question whether Indian cuisine and Michelin are even a good fit.
complimentary poppadoms
The best Indian meals I eat are those my mother cooks. Growing up in a humble area of Salem in South India she developed a penchant for recipes that have passed down the generations from mother to daughter. There's typically a big bowl of masala and fresh dosa mix hitting the pan, one after another, or something along those lines with a batch of idlis. It's gloriously good peasant food, presented accordingly. And that's the way I like it.
Crispy squid
I grew up in West Yorkshire where there are Indian restaurants that top anything I've tried in London – down to the particularly strong Asian communities in Bradford for example. There are no attempts to sculpt and conform to any perceived criteria and none of them have a star.
Chargrilled wild tiger prawn
In London, there is a newly starred Indian restaurant by the name Trishna. It's next door to the excellent Roganic in Marylebone. The original is in Mumbai and is considered by some to be amongst the best seafood restaurants on the planet. A strong act to follow but this London outpost doesn't seem to be concerning itself with that. The menu is too varied to be classed as a seafood specialist. The theme here is the coastal cuisine of South-West India.
Fish tikka
At lunch there are good value lunch bites options ranging from two courses at £15.50 to five courses at £24.50. There's an a la carte and the option of a five or seven course tasting menu at £38.50 and £47.50 respectively.
Duck seekh kebab
The food had its moments: Kicking things off was a moreish bowl of squid with a coating that was light, crispy and conferred a good level of heat. A colossal chargrilled wild tiger prawn was cooked very well and coated in a delicious marinade of mustard oil, wholegrain mustard, green chilli and garlic. That was as good as things got.
Lamb chop
On the flip-side the flavour and spicing of a duck seekh kebab was so vapid; so mind-numbingly shallow, it could have been a contestant on the ITV gameshow Take Me out. The same was true of a lamb chop seasoned with Kashmiri chilli, ginger and mustard mooli. It's all a little bit safe, as if pandering to the Western audience. Bad idea. Fish tikka was wild sea bass marinated in turmeric, black pepper and lemon juice served with a dill raita. The fish was a little overcooked and the flavours a little flat. For some reason this is where I expected them to shine, so that was a shame.
South Indian Coast lamb curry
One thing I'll say is they are generous. When the starters were over with, there then came a main course of South Indian Coast lamb curry. By itself this would have been enough. There was the lamb curry flavoured with curry leaf, coastal spices and coconut. Rice. A bowl of spiced baby potatoes. Another bowl of spinach corn. And if that wasn't enough, a fenugreek roti and sesame seed naan. Needless to say, there were left-overs.
To end was a dessert of spiced chocolate mousse cake with a cashew-pista chikki crumb which wasn't too bad at all and about as un-Indian as it got – if you overlook the woefully underspiced dishes from earlier.
Spiced chocolate mousse cake
For all the posturing of fragrant cooking and tradition, there was no real ignition of the senses. No real sense of India in the cooking, but rather a sense of pandering to the West. So what's the point? Little details also got in the way: my table mat being dirty to the point that I had to go and wash my hands on account of it before my meal started didn't exactly scream 'ceremonious'.
The food at Trishna is enjoyable on some level, but to award it a Michelin star only serves to further cheapen the already spiralling significance of them. This is a decent restaurant, not an elite restaurant – which is what I thought a star was supposed to represent. The injustice is that Trishna's next door neighbour, Roganic was literally side-stepped by Michelin despite its impeccable service and exquisite cooking. Go figure.

Which usage is correct?
- You shouldn't take sugar, should you?
- You shouldn't take sugar, will you?
Which usage is correct?
In simple usage, the question tag always mirrors the clause which makes the statement:
Changing the question tag makes it into a statement and a supplementary question. Note the change in written punctuation, which may not be so obvious in speech.
The first, normal, usage is a simple question tag to confirm the assumption implied in the statement. The second usage is actually inviting a contradiction of the assumption.

Of course, you know the normal essentials to have in your race bag: sneakers, socks, race bib, timing chip, running outfit, bike shoes, bike, food and snacks, etc. However, below are some essential extras many triathletes swear by:
- Balloons. Yes, balloons. Many people tie them onto their position in the bike rack as an easy indicator to find their spot during transition.
- Anti-chafe stick or Vaseline. In distance races, clothing and shoes tend to rub the same spot over and over, causing chafing and pain. To help prevent this, rub these areas with an anti-chafe stick or vaseline beforehand.
- Cooking spray. What? Yes - many swear by spraying cooking spray on their wrists and ankles first as a way to easily get off a wetsuit, In a pinch, it can also be used as lube for your bike chain.
- Toilet paper. Just in case the port-a-potty is out.
- Bandaids. These can be used as an easy short-term fix for blisters or even to prevent bloody nipples.
- Flip flops. The first thing you'll want to do when you're done is to get off your shoes and socks.
- Freshen up items. You'll want to feel less sweaty and more presentable once the race is over. Consider bringing deodorant, wipes, a comb and a change of clothes, as well as a clean hair tie for the ladies.
- Packing crate. Remember those plastic cube crates used in colleges the word over? Many triathletes use these in transition to sit on, change shoes on or store their gear in.
What race day essentials do you pack into your race bag?

Joe Gaiter: Who is Lanny Kelly III?
Lanny Kelly III: Depends on who you talk to. to my family I am the last male Kelly yet the first to graduate college. To my former bison teammates I am the ball hawk. To my daughter I am the best father and to myself I am my greatest competition and biggest obstacle to overcome. Only I can stop myself from reaching my maximum potential.
Joe Gaiter: How will you prove yourself on the field?
Lanny Kelly III: The same way I've had to prove myself throughout life, staying focused on my task, carrying out my job and not worrying about others, taking criticism as coaching and a means to be and do better and not as down talk, and by giving my all the time. Show up when I am supposed to not when I want to.
Joe Gaiter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Lanny Kelly III: My goals for the NFL are to take what little knowledge I have and continue to learn how to be the best cornerback and football player possible. Being the best at whatever I need to be to whatever team needs or wants me, and to take advantage of every opportunity given because an opportunity lost is never regained.
Joe Gaiter: What are some of your accomplishments?
Lanny Kelly III: Some of my accomplishments are getting my degree before continuing to chase my NFL dreams and also making the all-conference team. I was invited to an HBCU All-star game and became one of the top pass defending corners in FCS though this year is the first year I have actually gotten to play my natural position.
Joe Gaiter: What are your biggest strengths?
Lanny Kelly III: My biggest strengths on the field are my patient yet quick feet, and being able to focus on playing smart so I am in a position to make a play and letting my athletic ability and ball skills handle the rest.
Joe Gaiter: What is the hardest thing about playing cornerback?
Lanny Kelly III: The hardest part about playing cornerback aside from playing most of the game back pedaling is having to react to wide receivers who already know their route and the play. As a corner we cannot guess and there is very little margin for error if any, we have to stay true to and trust our technique.
Joe Gaiter: How will you elevate your skills to a NFL level?
Lanny Kelly III: I will elevate my skills to a NFL level by always looking for coaching points on ways to better myself mentally as well as technique wise. Also, by never becoming complacent with where I'm at knowing there is always room for growth and improvement.
Joe Gaiter: What will you miss about playing at Howard University?
Lanny Kelly III: What I will miss the most about playing at Howard University is the bond I have with my teammates, it's hard to be a bison and we have to work even harder to get the world to see that Howard football should be taken as serious as our education being that we are The Mecca of HBCU's
Joe Gaiter: What has been your biggest motivation?
Lanny Kelly III: My cousin who foot steps I followed in has been my biggest motivation and my reason to why I wanted to play college football and have NFL dreams .My dad has been my greatest influence and biggest supporter, even being considered "smaller" for my position. My dad always had faith that I could and would make my mark in whatever I chose to do. He's never influenced my decision only given his honest opinion and supported whatever decision I have made.
Joe Gaiter: What NFL player has your style of play?
Lanny Kelly III: I think the NFL player who has my style of play is champ bailey, very good cover corner with ball skills. I'm not a big hitter but I am a good tackler.
Joe Gaiter: How are you giving back to the community?
Lanny Kelly III: I already give back to the community by being a group leader at the Terrance Kelly Youth Foundation (www.tkyf28.org) I plan on taking over this foundation one day and expanding it.

Margarita Recipes for Cinco de Mayo
8 comments :
I think you meant that you totally don't judge people who party. :)ReplyDelete
I love grapefruit margaritas too!
I can't wait to try some of these recipes. The margaritas I've tried have all been delicious but not nearly as fun as the ones you mentioned.ReplyDelete
Happy Cinco De Mayo!
I'm the same as you, drinking alcohol has never been a big thing for me either. But I do love some drinks and margaritas are one of them (Pimms, Sangria and a good glass of wine are the others) :)ReplyDelete
I totally agree, avocados SHOULD be their own food group! You should try the margaritas and fresh guac at Jose Tejas if you haven't already! :)ReplyDelete
Beer-garitas are wicked good! Happy Cinco de Mayo!ReplyDelete
These look absolutely amazing! I'm not particularly a tequila person, so I never buy tequila, so I never make my own and end up just getting standard lime/strawberry margaritas on the rare occasions that I get a drink at Mexican restaurants. If I did, though, I would definitely go with the grapefruit one! Or maybe the popsicles if the weather wasn't so dreary today.ReplyDelete
These recipes look amazing!!ReplyDelete
Margaritas are my fave. I can't wait to try some of these!ReplyDelete

The Westwood Middle School Wolverine Pride leadership class organized a school food drive that raised over 2,000 items for the Airway Heights Food Bank.
A little incentive can go a long way.
One incentive for Westwood Middle School students to take part in their second annual food drive, run by the Wolverine Pride leadership class, was that for every 10 items of food students brought in, they would receive a ticket to throw a whipped cream pie in the face of their favorite teacher, administrator or staff person. According to WMS Associated Student Body president Josh Brown however, a couple staff members made the incentive a little sweeter.
"One said at 1,500 (cans or boxes) he'd shave his head, and one said at 1,501, he'd get a stripe down...

The bass is one of the truly classical instruments. Not only has the double bass been an irreplaceable part of orchestras for centuries, it's still one of the most widely-used instruments today. Nothing does those low-frequency thrumming melodies better, and you can find all kinds of varieties of bass to give you plenty of playing and style options. An electric upright bass is an especially distinctive one of those varieties.
What stands out most about an electric bass when compared to an acoustic upright bass is that there's so much less of it. Without the need for a big resonating chamber, these instruments are far more compact. That makes them perfect for travelling, when you need a bass that you can pack up and take along without going over your baggage limits all on its own.
Another great quality of an electric upright bass is versatility. You can, for example, play these through a set of headphones. That makes it easy to practice anywhere, even at places and times when silence is expected. Since these instruments are electric, they also give you the opportunity to connect effects units. With those, you can customize your bass sound in ways that would be completely out of reach for a traditional acoustic bass.
In this selection, there's an electric upright bass for any level of experience. If you're just starting out, take a look at some beginner-friendly instruments like the Dean Pace Bass 4-String Electric Upright or the Palatino VE-550 Electric Upright Bass. For advanced skill levels or professional orchestra use, consider options such as the Yamaha Silent Electric Upright Bass or the NS Design CR Series. And if you're interested in a unique instrument regardless of skill level, Takamine's TB10 Legacy Series Acoustic-Electric Upright Bass may be the one for you: it's a fusion of bass guitar and upright bass that has a sound all its own.
Whichever style of electric upright bass is right for your tastes, you should be able to find it here. There are plenty to choose from, so you've got every reason to add one to your collection and see how your own musical career can benefit from the possibilities offered by an electric bass.

A guest blog post by Alan Jones. More below.
Think it takes millions of dollars, an MBA and a few board seats to become a VC? You'd be wrong to think so. I'll tell you why, but first, answer this question: what is a startup?
We'd probably agree that startups are lean, cash-poor, energy-rich adventures, that startup founders are mavericks, dreamers and misfits, driven by the belief that there must be A Better Way. But do startups have to involve new technology or new business models? Do they have to be built on the hope of massive profits at some future date? Can we scale the whole model down and still be talking startups?
I bet the husband and wife who decide to leave their corporate careers to start the bed-and-breakfast they've dreamed about feel like they're on a lean, cash-poor adventure, doing something they've never done before. In my book they're startup entrepreneurs just as much as, say, the pair of software engineers with a new web platform.
The sums invested might be smaller but the financial risk is likely to be huge. The business plan will seem just as unfamiliar and full of holes. And they're doing it because they have a passion for something. They feel like misfits, renegades and dreamers.
So it doesn't take the promise of $50 million to make it a startup, and it doesn't require some new gizmo. We've proven a B&B can be a startup. Can we scale it down further?
Sure we can; just look for people who want to find A Better Way, misfits backing themselves on the strength of a business plan they haven't quite finished yet.
You'll find startup people like these on Kiva.org, a not-for-profit online venture that acts as a broker of micro-loans to people like the new B&B owners, like the bright young tech startup CEOs too, but these are startups on a vastly smaller scale, and they aren't in Sydney or San Francisco, they're in Senegal or San Salvador.
Kiva encourages hundreds of micro-lending funds in developing countries to apply to join its field partner program, then raises funds for lending out to field partners' clients. The money itself comes not from big pension funds and multi-national banks, but from tens of thousands of regular folks like you and me.
A typical Kiva loan might be to a Samoan woman wishing to borrow money to buy tools for a vegetable farm, or for a man in Kazakhstan to fund repairs to his taxi. Most loans are less than $500 — these are likely the smallest startups you'll ever see.
You can get started lending to these startup entrepreneurs using your credit card to transfer money online to Kiva, via PayPal. You can start with as little as $25.
Lenders like me find the people and loans we want to support by browsing a directory of borrowers, searching or browsing by location, sex and purpose of loan. You can see names, faces and read about their family and life to help you make a decision. It can be an emotional experience, but not because they're begging for money; far from it, these are proud resourceful people determined to get ahead, who only need the smallest boost to get started. (Note: Kiva never discloses any information about you to the borrower).
It's up to every Kiva lender to decide how much of any one loan they cover but most loans are usually covered by 50-100 people all lending $25-30 each.
Once a loan has received sufficient lenders, the capital is paid out from trust accounts held by Kiva to the local micro-lending field partner, which administers the loan and monitors the borrower's progress on paying back the loan, so you'll receive periodic updates from the local 'lending manager' by email, often with a photo of the borrower.
The qualification criteria are very strict, to protect borrower and lender alike, since a reputation for shady deals would sink the venture as fast as news travels over social media. I've made nearly a hundred micro-loans through Kiva and haven't had a single dollar go unpaid (at the time of writing, Kiva said 98.91% of all loans were repaid in full).
The best bit of all is that when a loan is repaid, your contribution to that loan is returned to your Kiva account. You can choose to withdraw it and pat yourself on the back, donate some to Kiva to help with operating expenses, or best of all: match up another micro-borrower and fund another new entrepreneur. Over a year or two, your $25 can help kick off a startup business again and again and again.
As someone who advises, invests in and sometimes co-founds startups, I often think about the reasons why people decide to get into startups, and also why people decide to invest in startups.
On the investment side, there's no doubt the promise of a high risk/high return attracts many Investors for the MBA version of betting on horses — it can be very lucrative.
But there's another kind of investor too — the kind who find themselves in the fortunate position of being able to contribute to someone else's success, to the satisfaction of seeing capitalism create recurring value from hard work and good ideas like nature makes a tree out of CO2, sunlight and water. It's good for the soul. It's just the right thing to do.
You don't need to be a captain of industry to be this kind of venture capitalist. With $25 on your credit card and ten minutes of your time once every couple of months, you can experience the same emotional and spiritual rewards a VC feels when a business takes off.
Like me, you might want to set aside the price of a coffee once a week and every month, tip that into your Kiva account. You'll hardly miss the money but your hundred bucks will make a huge difference to many lives around the world, and unlike donating to a big charity, you can choose who gets your money and you get your money back if you wish!
Check out the Team Pollenizer page on Kiva, where me and other current and former members of the Pollenizer hive do our micro-startup-lending. You can join our team, Stuff You Should Know team, the Stephen Colbert team, or just go it alone.
So go ahead, help someone create some recurring value out of good ideas and hard work. I can't guarantee you an interview with Techcrunch any time soon, but doing your venture capital investing through Kiva will create a lot of good news for a lot more people.
(Yes, THE Alan Jones, and by that I mean the all round good guy, geek, dad, environmentally caring and of course blogger.) I've been a Kiva supporter for 5 years since my friend Mike Khavul who I did some volunteer work with in Tanzania (and some seriously good 5 on 5 at the Mission basketball courts) introduced me – Thanks Mike!)

Ewer and basin
Silver, parcel-gilt and enamel
Origin: London
Date: 2008
Ewer: 27.5 cm height. Basin: 49.5 cm diameter
Marks/Maker: London, sterling standard, 925 standard mark, 2008, maker's mark of Rod Kelly; enamelwork was by Sheila McDonald
Commissioned by Michael Gettleson on behalf of the Whiteley family in celebration of the centenary of the unification of the Ashmolean Museum and the University Galleries to create the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology in November, 1908; WA2008.91.1; WA2008.91.2
The design of this ewer and basin was inspired by the history and fabric of the Museum. Their form echoes Medieval and Renaissance examples in the collection and the rich decorative scheme is commanded by griffins derived from the friezes of the Cockerell building as they parade amongst fruit and foliage taken from a series of watercolours known as 'Tradescant's Orchard'. The enamelled plaques are also from 'Tradescant's Orchard'. (The series, now in the Bodleian, was painted after John Tradescant's trip to France in 1611.) Around the central roundel, there is a band of ASH leaves, with the snout and paws of a MOLE poking out.
Information derived from T. Schroder, British and Continental Gold and Silver in the Ashmolean (2009)

`Forty Flames to Follow' in 2013-14: Catherine Dion
June 14, 2013
CHICAGO - Catherine Dion from the UIC women's gymnastics team doesn't lack any motivation when it comes to constant improvement. Becoming a regular in head coach Peter Jansson's All-Around lineup just one meet into the 2012-13 season, Dion topped her previous career-best score in the event eight times, en route to a berth in the NCAA Individual Championships. Dion is Friday's featured student-athlete in the "Forty Flames to Follow" in 2013-14 summer series.
After leading UIC to the 2013 Midwest Independent Conference (MIC) Team Championship, Dion earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Championships to compete in the All-Around. After the two-day event in early April, Dion finished the competition with an impressive 11th place individual finish. She tallied a score of 38.850, bolstered by a 9.800 on the beam. Dion qualified for the NCAA Championships with a season-best all-around score of 39.075 at the MIC Championships on March 23.
"Last year, Cat's all-around was usually done with bars in an exhibition spot," said Jansson. "That was not the case this past year, as she competed in the all-around in every meet after the season opener. Not only did she become a very good all-arounder; she also hit a big dismount on bars, a move that she made in the three-minute touch period at Regionals.
"At the NCAA's, she hit on all four events and was close to flawless on bars, beam and vault. She really showcased the level of UIC Gymnastics to the nation and with that experience; we expect her leadership to be key in helping lead our team back to the NCAA Championships as a team next year."
Dion, who served as one-of UIC's captains during her junior campaign, hit 100 percent of her vaults on the season. She enters her senior year with a career-best score of 9.775 on vault, 9.875 on the floor, 9.825 on bars and 9.80 on beam.
At the conclusion of the 2012-13 campaign, the Gatineau, Quebec, Canada native was named UIC's Most Valuable Gymnast along with Chantel Turk, and was also tabbed the Most Consistent Beam Worker, along with Erin Duggan.
Dion, who boasts a 3.71 cumulative grade-point-average in UIC's Theatre program, has qualified for the All-State Academic Team all three years, and for the All-MIC Academic Team in each of the past two years. She is also a two-time Scholastic All-American.
Dion and the women's gymnastics team will open the 2013-14 season in the annual "Mixed Pairs" event on Dec. 7. Stay tuned to UICFlames.com for the official release of the 2013-14 schedule.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. At least that's how we felt about hairbrushes a few weeks ago. But upon discovering the Goody Tanglefix Gentle Detangling Brush ($8), we're singing a different tune. This unconventionally shaped brush has stood the tests of curly, air-dried, and early morning hair - and we're finding it to be much smoother going than yanking a traditional brush through our troublesome locks!

It was only a few months ago that Focus on the Family's "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life" ad aired during the Super Bowl. The upbeat celebration of the bond between Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother. And that is where a young woman named Susan enters the picture.
You would think by now I might have realized that things never work out like I plan, but I'm still learning. My due date was Saturday, Sept. 25, but I'd always assumed I would be late. I planned on working right up until I went into labor. But as the date got closer, I felt more and more uncomfortable after working a full day. By halfway through each school day, my legs and feet would be so swollen that my students couldn't stop commenting on them. So at my doctor's appointment on Sept. 23, we decided that even though I wasn't dilated at all, the next day would be my last day of work before giving birth. I was torn, feeling like I should be with my students as long as possible, but also grateful for what I thought would be several days "off" before giving birth.
The next day, Friday, I told my students I wouldn't be back until after my maternity leave. I think they were relieved. Having seen a few too many movies, they were convinced my water was going to break and they would be forced to deliver my baby in class! I hadn't felt well all day, and I couldn't keep food down. It was like there was simply no room for anything in my stomach.
At home that night, I made a list of last-minute things I wanted to do over the next few days. Ace's birthday was coming up on Sunday, so I planned lasagna for dinner and an ice-cream cake to celebrate. Later that night when my best friend, Robin, called, she reminded me that she had an appointment with her newly adopted daughter on Saturday morning. I told her, "No worries. No one gives birth on their due date. And besides, Ace's birthday is Sunday; I'm sure I'll be home for that. I'm thinking the baby will probably come next Wednesday or Thursday."
That night I woke up several times to contractions. I really didn't think much of it because I had been having light contractions for a week. These were a little more painful, but passed quickly. At 4:45 a.m. I woke up again, and this time I was wide awake. I started re-organizing the bookcase in the living room. I know you're probably thinking, Who organizes her bookcase at 4:45 in the morning? What can I say? I woke up energized.
The contractions were coming fairly regularly, but I wasn't timing them yet. About 6 a.m., I started paying more attention to how often they were occurring. It seemed like approximately every five minutes or so, but I wasn't sure. At 7 a.m., I started timing them and called Robin and Cindy – who were both going to be in the delivery room with me. Robin said she should be back from her appointment by lunchtime. Cindy told me to let her know when I was going to go to the hospital and she would meet me there. Shortly after that I called Jon's girlfriend, Annette, to come over. She timed my contractions for an hour. They were between four and seven minutes apart.
I kept insisting that the contractions were going to stop, that I wasn't really in labor. Annette convinced me to call my doctor, and after explaining how close the contractions were, we were soon on our way to the hospital. Up to this point, I had managed the contractions fairly well. But as soon as we got in the car, I admitted to Annette how much pain I was in.
I checked into the hospital and changed, but it was 10 a.m. before I saw the doctor. I was two centimeters dilated. I looked at Annette and said, "I'm really in labor?" She laughed and said, "Yes, this is it, you are having this baby today."
I was still in shock. When will I learn that I'm not the one in charge? I reminded myself that God knows what He is doing and laughed at myself for being so sure that I could control when I would go into labor.
It hit me that this was it. I was really about to have this baby.

Awful! This apartment is managed by Interhome agency, and there is one surprise provided by them - cleaning fee. Then you are choosing a room you do not see any mentions about addition costs - only after reservation. We realized that we had to pay extra 66 EUR after getting booking confirmation.
It is a little bit unpleasantly, but then we came there we saw an absolutely dirty apartment - all the surfaces was covered with dust. And this is is AFTER 66 EUR cleaning! We spent a half oh a day to clean everything by ourselves.
More than that - there was not any blankets there. We asked a charwoman to bring us at least one, she promised to come with them in the evening but did not come and did not bring any.
We was needed to sleep under thin cover for sofa, and it was quite cold.
After all this they took money for cleaning from my credit card without my agreement and did not answer my mails with photos of dust in their apartment.
Don't book anything from Interhome!
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.

UCLA 12, Arizona 5 (Box Score)
LOS ANGELES - The 10th-ranked UCLA baseball team blasted three homers and benefitted from timely hitting to complete a three-game series sweep with a 12-5 victory over Arizona on Sunday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Chris Keck and Kevin Kramer each hit three-run homers and combined for seven runs batted in to pace a 13-hit attack that delivered timely hits all afternoon. The Bruins outscored the Wildcats 9-2 in two-out RBI - the same seven-run margin that decided the final score.
After falling behind 2-0 in the second inning, UCLA (34-14, 17-7 Pac-12) scored a run in the home half of the frame and then took control of the game with a six-run third inning aided by a couple of defensive miscues that resulted in only one run being earned.
Brian Carroll and Kramer delivered one-out singles to place runners at the corners for Eric Filia, who dropped down a squeeze bunt. First baseman Joseph Maggi charged and had a play at the plate, but his throw was to the wrong side of catcher Riley Moore and Carroll slid in safely with the tying run.
With runners at first and second, Pat Valaika lifted a fly ball that was dropped near the foul line by right fielder Scott Kingery, which loaded the bases. Cody Regis followed by striking out, but Shane Zeile roped a two-out, two-run single to center to give the Bruins' a two-run lead.
Keck, who tripled in a run in the second, then launched a three-run homer run to right field to push UCLA's lead to 7-2.
It was a tough break for Arizona starter Tyler Crawford (L, 5-2), who was charged for seven runs - two earned - on six hits. He struck out three and walked none.
In the fourth inning, Moore hit a solo home run to right-center that cut the deficit to 7-3.
Arizona (29-20, 10-14) made things interesting in the fifth inning, but squandered a prime scoring opportunity after Maggi and Johnny Field led off with singles and Trent Gilbert drew a walk. That promoted a pitching change for UCLA, which called on Matt Deeter to take over for starter Grant Watson.
Deeter coaxed consecutive pop outs by Brandon Dixon and Kevin Newman, then induced an inning-ending groundout from Moore to strand the three runners and preserve a four-run lead.
UCLA put the game away for good with a four-run fifth inning sparked by Keck drawing a one-out walk. Pinch-hitter Kevin Williams followed with a single and Ty Moore drove in Keck with a single of his own. One out later, Kramer hit a three-run home run to right-center to cap a four-run frame that extended the Bruins' lead to 11-3.
The teams traded single runs in the sixth, and Zach Gibbon's two-out, run-scoring single in the top of the seventh set the score at its eventual final, 12-5.
It was a rare timely hit for the Wildcats, who stranded 12 runners on base. They were just 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position and only 5-for-23 with runners on base.
Arizona plated a pair of runs in the second inning after Newman led off with a single and Moore followed with a double. With runners at the corners, Gibbons drove in Newman with a single through the left side. One out later, David Real drove in a run on a fielder's choice groundout to spot the visitors with a 2-0 lead.
The Bruins scored their first run on back-to-back extra base hits with two outs in the home half of the second. Zeile pulled a double down the left field line and Keck tripled to the right field wall to cut the deficit to 2-1.
UCLA utilized five reliever pitchers to close the game out. Deeter (W, 2-0) was credited for the win for his effort in escaping the fifth inning.
The Wildcats finished with four relievers behind Crawford, included two scoreless innings from freshmen Cody Moffett and Nathan Bannister in the seventh and eighth innings, respectively.
Arizona will remain on the road for a three-game set at No. 17 Arizona State (32-15, 14-10) next weekend. The series begins on Friday, May 17, at 6:30 p.m. (MST) at Packard Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.

OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- A 38-year-old Ocala man faces up to life in prison after jurors found him guilty of sexual battery.
It took about an hour on Wednesday for the six-member jury to return the verdict against Michael Frye. He has two more rape cases pending.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports Frye is suspected of abducting and attacking four women in Marion and Alachua counties between July 5 and Oct. 12 of last year. He is also a suspect in another incident in Gainesville.
Prosecutors say Frye attacked a 43-year-old woman on Oct. 12.
Frye contended the sex was consensual and that the woman didn't remember because she was high on crack cocaine.
The newspaper reports Frye showed little emotion in court. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled later.

RIPON, Wis. — Laundry equipment is a large but necessary investment for various industries, including hospitality, healthcare and corrections. Choosing the right equipment mix for an on-premises laundry can improve a facility's operating efficiency, guest satisfaction and its bottom line.
Prior to determining the proper equipment for a pre-existing laundry room, it is vital to measure and analyze the facility's infrastructure to avoid any unnecessary difficulties. Doorways, hallways, electrical wiring and plumbing may inhibit the use of some larger laundry equipment. Only after closely examining these factors can the right equipment mix be determined.
Several factors go into determining the appropriate equipment mix in an on-premises laundry. While each industry type has a slightly different formula, the most accurate method for determining equipment size and mix is to weigh the soiled linens typically handled by that facility.
When installing new washer-extractors, there are four general rules of thumb:
Small loads of laundry accumulate faster than larger ones.
Two smaller washer-extractors are generally better than a single larger machine.
Size alike when installing multiple washers. Purchasing same-size washers helps simplify the training process for employees. This same logic holds true when purchasing dryers. To streamline operator use and training, purchase a washer and dryer with the same control system.
Work with a local distributor to determine equipment sizing. Local distributors have facts and figures, including accurate measurements for weight of soiled linens. This data is used in various markets to assist with laundry equipment sizing.
Studies are continually done by manufacturers that work intimately with the industries being served to determine average laundry usage. A select service hotel can have as much as 30 pounds of laundry in every room. However, new housekeeping policies, including not changing the linens of extended-stay guests daily, and only laundering towels on the floor, are now considered to better provide real-world laundry equipment sizing.
The "pounds of laundry per room" is largely determined by the service level of the hotel, ranging from an economy motel to a resort. An economy motel accumulates less laundry because it only has to wash bed linens and towels, whereas a resort must process linens from a variety of amenities offered to guests, including food service, meeting rooms/banquet halls, health clubs and hotel rooms. Additional pounds of laundry also will be added for special bedding, or for hotels using extra pillows, duvets and triple sheeting.
In contrast to a hotel, which calculates linen weight by service level, a corrections facility's total linen weight is determined by the number of times per week that all items—including bedding, clothing, miscellaneous items and terry goods—may need to be washed.
Unlike the number of factors that should be considered when purchasing a washer-extractor, determining the number of tumble dryers needed for an on-premises laundry is fairly simple. The one thing to remember is most workflow problems are related to undersized tumble dryer capacity.
To determine the number of tumble dryers, most experts consider the washer-extractor's G-force extraction speed. The dryer-to-washer capacity ratio for a washer with only 100 G-force is 2-to-1, or 2 pounds of drying capacity to 1 pound of washing capacity. Alternately, because of the increased water extraction on a 300-plus G-force washer-extractor, the ratio is 1.25 pounds of dryer capacity to 1 pound of washer capacity.
While it may be more expensive up front, it pays to invest in a 400 G-force washer-extractor as, over time, a high-speed washer-extractor will decrease drying costs. Ultimately, the goal of every laundry professional is to reach similar cycle times on both the washer and the dryer to produce the most efficient throughput in the laundry.
After determining the number of washers and dryers needed to outfit the on-premises laundry, the next step is to determine whether or not to install wireless networking, which allows a manager to access and control his or her laundry equipment worldwide from any Internet-connected computer.
Wireless networking features can be beneficial to both a worldwide manager who controls multiple properties, or an on-site laundry operator. Advanced control systems help managers measure all aspects of their laundry; wireless networking enables them to access those measurements as easily as possible.
Some wirelessly networked control systems offer service-related audit data that helps to manage equipment costs and ensure equipment longevity. Automatic warning e-mails provide maintenance alerts and system troubleshooting, which help to quickly self-diagnose problems, thereby helping OPL operators avoid equipment breakdowns and expensive repairs.
In addition to reducing downtime, wireless networking allows operators to easily monitor and better manage their laundry staff while away from their laundry facility. Some systems record start, stop and idle time between cycles, and report when a cycle may have been cut short. Labor is the most costly expense of operating a laundry room, and measuring idle time between cycles can help identify areas where simple training can help increase laundry room productivity.
Additionally, start- and stop-time reporting is particularly important in some on-premises laundry settings, such as hospitals, where a specific wash temperature must be met and sustained to effectively sanitize linens.
Finally, a wirelessly networked system allows both on-site and remote managers to view when a machine is out of balance, which indicates poor loading practices that cause wasted labor, unnecessary chemical use and higher utility costs.
Perhaps most importantly, correctly outfitting an on-premises laundry gives peace of mind to operators and makes their lives easier. When starting this process, consider a distributor backed by a sophisticated and reliable manufacturer that can determine the appropriate equipment mix for any on-premises laundry.

HedgeFund Greenlight Capital Pulls Out Of ETF-GLD
In what appears to be a tsunami of inflation on the way, Greenlight Capital Inc. has decided to change the way they are investing in gold. They apparently found that there is a benefit to buying physical gold and storing it, as opposed to going the ETF route. The difference is storage costs versus ETF management costs. Bloomberg reports: "Greenlight Capital Inc., the $5 billion hedge-fund firm run by David Einhorn, told investors it switched all of its holdings in a gold exchange-traded fund into bullion during the second quarter."
"At a minimum this will provide some savings as the costs of storing gold are less than the fees" for the SPDR Gold Trust, the New York-based firm said yesterday in a letter to investors.
"Einhorn, 40, told clients in January he was buying gold for the first time amid the threat of inflation from higher government spending. The firm, started in 1996, held 4.2 million shares of SPDR Gold Trust in the first quarter, making the gold- backed ETF its biggest holding. Gold has climbed 5.8 percent this year."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie take a must needed night on the town in Australia tonight after working a part on different projects for several months. The couple was spotted at the Shipwreck Bar & Grill in Airlie Beach, Australia this evening holding hands and taking pictures.
Brad wore his hair slicked back with the sides shaved as he prepares for his new role in the World War II movie Fury in London. Along with the boyish militant cut, the 50 year old also wore baggy cargo pants, with an off white shirt and tan boots. He looked fresh off the set and as handsome as ever proving he can pull off anything.
By his side was his fiance Angelina Jolie, who looked slim and sexy in all black. The two has reportedly been a part for some time according to USMagazine: Angelina is currently directing her own war drama Unbroken in Australia, while Pitt is in London filming. Brad frequently visits Jolie and their 6 kids when he cans, but tonight it is all about them.
Did Brad pull off the militant look?

Property Tax after Chapter 7 Filing in Tennessee
Posted 15 November 2012 - 06:27 AM
Posted 15 November 2012 - 06:54 AM
Ask your bankruptcy attorney.
One thing you might want to check, though, is when the ownership of the house changed to the bank or to the next owner. You can check that on the county recorders website.
Taxes might be payable in installments but they are charged for a full year.
You filed in May but any action on the foreclosure would have been held up till after discharge, say, in November, so you might be on the hook for the whole tax year for 2011.
And if foreclosure wasn't finalized until after the first of the year you might be on the hook for 2012.
I'm guessing at all this.
You need to talk to your attorney about whether the taxes were discharged or not.
And if they weren't, get some expert help from a tax pro who knows how your local property taxes work so you can see if you have any way out.

I think property taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Most property taxes are dischargeable. The rule is that UNSECURED property taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy if they were incurred prior to the commencement of the bankruptcy case and were last payable without a penalty after one year before the date of filing the petition. 11 U.S.C. §§ 523(a)(1) and 507(a)(8).
Most real property taxes are secured by a lien on the property at the time of the assessment or shortly thereafter, and those secured taxes would be eligible for discharge (and for good reason, since the government may collect what is owed from the sale of the secured property). Even if not secured, if the tax liability is old enough to have incurred a penalty more than a year before filing, it would also be eligible for discharge.
Of course, a discharge in a Chapter 7 case only applies to obligations (including eligible taxes) owed as of the date the petition is filed. Obligations incurred after the petition are not included in the bankruptcy and not eligible for discharge. Although the OP did not specify in what state the property was located, a property tax bill for 2012 taxes was not likely owed prior to the filing of the bankruptcy in May 2011. If the tax was imposed after the petition was filed, it would not be discharged in the bankruptcy.

Unpaid property tax will follow the property, not the owner.
In many states, the property tax is not only a lien on the property (which is why subsequent owners are motivated to pay property taxes that accrued before they owned it) but are also a personal liability of the owner of the property as of the assessment date. While it is not common to see a tax collector pursue the former owner for payment since the collector can resort to sale of the property to collect, the tax collector may go after the former owner as an alternate means of collecting the tax.

CLAIM: Lindsay Lohan Denied Backstage Access at Coldplay Show
Lindsay Lohan supposedly threw a fit on Wednesday night when she was banned from going backstage at the Coldplay concert in L.A., claims The Sun.
The British tab says Lohan "begged" for an all access pass, but was "turned away" by the band.
According to a supposed "source" for the paper, Lohan "threw a complete wobbler" when she wasn't let backstage, and "protested to the people running the guest list."
(We're not 100 percent sure what a "wobbler" is, but it doesn't sound good.)
Anyway, The Sun claims Lohan "got even more angry when she found out fellow actress Kate Bosworth was there mingling with Gwyneth Paltrow and the band… In the end she got so fed up, she stormed out."
Not at all.
Lohan laughed off the rumor when Gossip Cop reached out to her.
And now we know why. A music source tells us Lohan is actually dating one of Coldplay's band members, Guy Berryman.
