Tustin business owners get license-fee options
Business owners who do not want to share tax return information can pay the city $60 for licenses, the City Council ruled.
All business owners are required to hold a city license, which ranges from a $25 to $100 tax depending on the company's gross receipts. After recent complaints from real estate agents about privacy and the release of personal financial information, Councilman John Nielsen pushed to change how business owners are taxed.
Under the current system, business owners redact personal information from their tax returns, show the documents at City Hall and pay accordingly on a sliding scale. The city does not keep individual tax returns; it only verifies gross receipts. Doing the former could create liability issues, City Manager Jeff Parker said.
"In my view, this is another example of government being intrusive in private business," Nielsen said.
The City Council discussed three options at its Dec. 17 meeting: keeping current practices, allowing owners to opt out of showing tax returns and pay a flat fee of $100, or not require any formal proof of gross receipts.
Nielsen criticized the $100 flat fee as a "punishment" for those who do not want to show gross receipts. Fellow council members Allan Bernstein and Beckie Gomez disagreed.
"You're asking a business to make a business decision. Do you want to pay $100 or use a Magic Marker, mark (your taxes) up and show us your gross receipts?" Bernstein said. "It's a cost of doing business in any city."
Pointed debate led to Parker suggesting that the $100 fee for those who opt out could be modified to $60, the average cost of a business license in the city. The flat fee could be adjusted in the future if the average goes down, he said. People would still be able to pay based on their tax returns.
The council voted 4-1 to adopt the modified proposal, with Gomez dissenting.
Businesses that earn $300,001 or more in annual gross receipts currently pay $80 to $100 in license taxes. Under the new system, owners could opt out of showing tax returns and pay $60 instead.
"It's a matter of hoping businesses and the community remember the importance of being forth-right," Mayor Al Murray said after the vote.
Murray hoped that businesses would abide by "scout's honor" and pay as they should.
If businesses don't pay what is expected, this could in turn pull down the average license tax. Whether this would drive revenues down is unknown, City Treasurer and Finance Director Pamela Arends-King said.
"I thought Option Two was very reasonable. It gave business owners an option," Gomez said, referring to the choice to opt out with a $100 fee. "A business license fee is a cost of doing business."

truvada + sustiva + time change
May 30, 2012
Hi, I live in Thailand and am travelling to The US in ten days time (Florida). I take Truvada and Sustiva every night (Thai time) at 9 pm before going to bed. There is an 11 hour time difference. My doctore here suggested that i adjust my dose by an hour a day so that when I arrive in The States I'll be taking my medicine at 9 pm Local. Would you think this is reasonable or should I just continue to take my meds at 9 pm Thai time (10 am Florida time). I plan to be in Florida for 5 weeks. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
Response from Dr. McGowan
Dear Frank,
You certainly can make the gradual adjustment, but if your viral load has been suppressed and you will be here for an extended period of time, I would just make the switch on the day your arrive...keep taking it at 9PM (US time). On the day you arrive you will be a few hours behind, and when you return you will be several hours early, but that will not cause any significant toxicity or risk for your meds. The meds are not cleared that quickly so there is some "forgiveness" in the dose timing. Also having 2 doses closer together will not be toxic, the levels will balance out again quickly.
Best, Joe

MJM Customer Service- A+
Monday 22 August, 2011
I placed a recent order with a well known on-line magic company. I did this because they offered an incredible deal on a new line of magic they are now selling. I saved $$$ BUT the frustration I had to deal with from their poor customer service, and lack of communication, made the savings vanish. Not only that, but I had to pay for the return postage on a defective item! The moral of this is: You get what you pay for. By ordering from MJM you are promised to get consistent, first-class, quality customer service and communication. I will no longer fall victim to "advertised" deals from other companies.

Fervaal by Vincent d'Indy
Vincent d'Indy lived eighty years and, when not composing, spent his time revising the teaching of music in France or simply annoying everybody.
'A caprice written with the point of a needle': so Berlioz described his opera Béatrice and Bénédict, which pares down Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing to its comic quintessence, shorn of the sub-plots, destroyed reputations and near-bloodshed of Shakespeare's original.
'This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.' It is, perhaps, a line quoted too often; yet, even though it may not have been entirely accurate on this occasion, it came to my mind. Its accuracy might be questioned in several respects.
Central City Opera celebrated the 60th anniversary of The Ballad of Baby Doe with a hip, canny, multi-faceted new production.
Someone forgot to tell Central City Opera that it would be difficult to fit Puccini's (usually) architecturally large Tosca on their small stage.
A cast worthy of Bayreuth made for an unforgettable Wagnerian experience at the Sommer Festspiele in Baden-Baden.
Loving attention to the highest quality was everywhere evident in Des Moines Metro Opera's Manon.
Des Moines Metro Opera had (almost) all the laughs in the right places, and certainly had all the right singers in these meaty roles to make for an enjoyable outing with Verdi's masterpiece
With the thermometers reaching boiling point, there's no doubt that summer has finally arrived in London. But, the sun seems to have been shining over the large marquee in Holland Park all summer.
J.S. Bach's cerebral Art of the Fugue in Aix, Verdi's massive Requiem in Orange, Ibn al-Muqaffa' 's fable of the camel, jackal, wolf and crow, Sophocles' blind Oedipus Rex and the Bible's triumphant Psalm No. 150 in Aix.
The champagne corks popped at the close of this year's Jette Parker Young Artists Summer Performance at the Royal Opera House, with Prince Orlofsky's celebratory toast forming a fitting conclusion to some superb singing.
Bryn Terfel is making a habit of performing Russian patriarchs at the Proms.
What happens when just everything about an operatic performance goes joyously right?
Two years ago, the well-established Des Moines Metro Opera experimented with a 2nd Stages program, with performances programmed outside of their home stage at Simpson College.
What to make of the unannounced decision to open this concert with the Marseillaise? I am sure it was well intended, and perhaps should leave it at that.
In a fairy-tale, it can sometimes feel as if one is living a dream but on the verge of being awoken to a shock. Such is life in these dark and uncertain days.
The tense, three hour knock-down-drag-out seduction of Beauty by Pleasure consumed our souls in this triumphal evening. Forget Time and Disillusion as destructors, they were the very constructors of the beauty and pleasure found in this miniature oratorio.
Three parallel universes (before losing count) — the ephemeral Debussy/Maeterlinck masterpiece, the Debussy symphonic tone poem, and the twisted intricacies of a moldy, parochially English country estate.
This, alas, was where I had to sign off. A weekend conference on Parsifal (including, on the Saturday, a showing of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's Parsifal film) mean that I missed Götterdämmerung, skipping straight to the sequel.
The culmination of Opera North's "Ring for Everyone", this Götterdämmerung showed the power of the condensed movement so necessary in a staged performance - each gesture of each character was perfectly judged - as well as the visceral power of having Wagner's huge orchestra on stage as opposed to the pit.
Michael Grandage's production of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, which was new in 2012, returned to Glyndebourne on 3 July 2016 revived by Ian Rutherford.
Vincent d'Indy lived eighty years and, when not composing, spent his time revising the teaching of music in France or simply annoying everybody.
Nineteen when Prussia tramped all over his beloved France in 1870, he became a passionate nationalist with all the excesses of the time and place: anti-Germanism became, for him as for many, a racial "Celticism," and his Francophilia included royalism, anti-Dreyfusism and anti-Semitism. Yet he was too good a musician not to appreciate Wagner and be influenced by Wagnerian method.
As a composer of opera, d'Indy was part of that post-Wagnerian movement determined to find in local folklore ways to celebrate national glory, a movement that produced dozens of works from Ireland to Armenia, most of them long forgotten — Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel is a rare success and survival. D'Indy's Fervaal, which affects to find in the druids a mythic antidote to sophisticated modern life, is d'Indy's contribution. It had its premiere in Brussels in 1897 and reached Paris in 1913 — just in time for this sort of perfervid nationalism to cheer entry into World War I; Fervaal has not been fully staged anywhere since. That the hero, a druidic prince of divine descent vowed to chastity — though how that will preserve his dynasty is not made clear — is seduced by the love of a "Saracen" princess. Their doomed union prefigures the death of the old gods and the birth of a world based on love (sound familiar?). The Celtic-Saracen passion might appeal to multiculturalists in modern France, with its huge, disaffected Muslim population, but would probably not delight the aristocratic d'Indy and leaves the auditor puzzled.
Still, as a concert version presented by the American Symphony Orchestra under that indefatigable lover of obscure scores, Leon Botstein, made clear, Fervaal is extraordinary without being especially endearing. The great flaw is that none of the three principal characters has much personality — they declaim at taxing length but they never persuade us that they feel any of the emotions they announce. They do not persuade us that they exist — that they have inner lives, emotions that can be reached by other persons. None of their music possesses the charm d'Indy gives to his choruses, who are variously and convincingly warring tribes, exultant priests, sensuous Saracens, spirits of the clouds or natural forces moaning as storms or winds. D'Indy might have achieved success with a dramatic oratorio had he ever composed one — grand opera on the Meyerbeer or Wagner pattern does not bring out his best.
The opera's enormous orchestra lacked (Botstein said) several instruments d'Indy requested that are no longer much played. There were an enormous variety of winds and brasses typical of the period, exquisitely deployed: contrabass clarinets, for example, and four saxophones to accompany the apparition of the cloud-goddess Kaito and her cumulonimbus attendants — an answer for those who have doubted the spiritual qualities of the saxophone sound. For orchestral color, d'Indy was clearly a master of the genre — he is perhaps best known for his set of orchestral variations on the legend of the Descent of Ishtar — played in reverse from most complex to least, as the goddess disrobes to her naked theme.
My heart went out to the three lead singers — especially to Richard Crawley, a last-minute replacement, who had to learn the title role (easily as long as either Siegfried) in two and a half weeks — for the acres of ungrateful declamatory singing they were obliged to hurl out at Fisher Hall all evening. That they could pace themselves and did not run out of steam is a tremendous tribute to the professionalism of all hands. Donnie Ray Albert may lack the Wagnerian surge and sonorous depths that d'Indy appears to have hoped for in Arfagard, the uncompromising druid priest and prophet, but his sturdy bass-baritone never lost authority. Deanne Meek's clear mezzo-soprano probably has some sensuous notes somewhere, but she didn't much display them as the Saracen princess Guilhen, though one would have thought "seductiveness" part of the job description. She, too, deserves points for unflagging industry. Barbara Dever sang the small but distinctive role of Kaito, whom d'Indy calls the goddess of the clouds — but he wrote it and she sang it in the style and intensity of Wagner's Erda, a part she could obviously handle whenever called upon. Many small roles were ably covered and the Concert Chorale of New York were especially virtuosic, with the only really lyric singing of the occasion.

This : "I honestly don't understand why people care."
I haven't cared about the winners in about 20 years. I have watched the "Who passed away this year" film clips off the DVR a few times, but usually skip the rest of the "show".
It's just plain sad.

Very good & informative column this week, I particularly appreciate the full context on what's up with DBZ on home video.
On the Oscar subject, I mostly agree but I'll explain why I personally care about the Oscars anyway. It's not that I have lofty expectations of a Spirited Away situation repeating itself anytime soon. However, it seems to me taking home a statue isn't the only good - just earning a nomination to begin with is an achievement. What especially matters to me is that it's pretty much through the Oscars that I've become aware of some really great international, non-Japanese animation out there in recent years. Without it I'm sure I'd have been the poorer for not ever having seen Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist, just for one example.
And then there's the steadily expanding efforts of GKids ever since the fabulous The Secret of Kells made the short list in 2009. It may be unrealistic to expect the Oscar to not go to a major studio the vast majority of the time, but if the whole process can see an indie distributor like them get a number of out-of-the-mainstream but great films out there that probably wouldn't see the light of day in the U.S. otherwise, well. That makes it all worthwhile and a net good to me as an animation fan.

If I may be so bold, allow me to present the tl;dr versions:
1. DBZ brings money. Funimation wants money. Funimation releases DBZ as many times as possible.
2.Media Blasters may be on the ropes, but they are not out yet. They are also very secretive.
3.The Oscars are a joke, and don't really represent the best of anything, other then best marketing campaign.
How did I do?

Hold the phone! Wasn't Lilo and Stitch also a contender for Best Animated Picture Oscar that year? Heck, even I remember the late Roger Ebert saying that he didn't expect Spirited Away to win the Oscar that year only for the mere fact that Disney does not want a foreign license to compete against its own domestic work.

I like Oscar season. I think it's fun, I like trying to predict the winners and the show is usually at least fun to joke through.
I don't know anyone who takes it seriously who isn't in the industry and hoping for a win themselves. Most people just enjoy the game/spectacle of it.

It is a fun spectacle. It's also a great way to get publicity for lesser known films and documentaries. That's why I think the chance to be nominated is important for anime films, and why I asked the question (thanks for answering it!).
Every year there are some dark horse, lower budget movies that get a nomination, which gets critics and movie fans talking and that word-of-mouth, which ends up increasing the movies screening and revenue, and can keep the movie in the public consciousness for years longer than it would have otherwise. (Remember "Little Miss Sunshine" from 2006? It was developed into a musical!)
I understand the downside better now, that marketing and political stuff sounds awful. I never thought of the age of the average voter or their (possible) obsession with death angle. Now I gotta wonder if Grave of the Fireflies could've had a chance back in the day! (Based on all the other factors mentioned: nope).
Aw, I guess it's just hard to give up the dream: a great anime film wins an Oscar! Film becomes world famous! Everybody in the film world starts paying attention to anime, and the anime industry makes more money and creates more quality mainstream content! Woo-hoo!

I wonder if people will end up realizing that this release of DBZ is nothing more than Malibu Stacy with a new hat? People already know the story. At this point, they are simply dishing out money for questionable picture that won't really matter in the long run anyway when they realize that the only thing they really want to see is cartoon characters punching each other's lights out.

Both Lilo and Stitch and Treasure Planet, actually. But I think Disney was aware that the critical momentum was with Spirited Away, so, in the end, that's what they focused their campaigning on just to ensure that Dreamworks wouldn't take the Oscar for... umm... Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Uh, did anyone actually think that Spirit would win for 2002? I sure didn't.
I am in the minority of anime fans who was rooting for Lilo & Stitch, though. I just found Spirited Away a bit too scattershot and "precious".

That's exactly what I thought was going on with those DBZ releases - they just are not appealing to the purist fanbase - they are appealing to the person who walks through Wal-Mart and says "I remember that show! Oh, it's on blu ray - this must mean it'll finally fill my 16x9 screen and look like modern cartoons! Perfect!"
It reminded me of the amazon reviews from fans for the Read or Die BDs - they called them a rip-off because the video didn't "fit the screen" - their widescreen television. *sigh*

My grandfather was like that, but in the opposite way. He HATED letterbox and movies in the original format (this was back in time during old 4:3 tube TVs). So he would buy the "formatted to fit your screen" since he felt people who did the 16x9 were just lazy in making it fit on the TV.

Okay, despite the fact that this new version of DBZ is catering mainly to the mainstream Toonami fans, FUNimation wants to get the opinions of the fans from the Kanzenshuu DBZ fan community about this release. The Q & A will be published in an exclusive future article.

Thank god those filthy casuals don't watch anything beyond never-ending Weekly Shounen Jump action anime.
Doesn't that fully explain why producers want to win? And for actors and other people involved with filmmaking, an Academy Award is a great way to further your career through recognition. So of course involved insiders will take it seriously, but those who don't know how the meat is made won't follow all of the cynicism, they just like the award show and seeing Hollywood stars and elite all in one place. I guess it's mostly just uninvolved film buffs like you, Zac, and other critics who really abhor the Oscars and other award shows.
Did you forget Lilo & Stitch on purpose? That's most certainly a Disney film that the Disney company would want to push to a win.

Ooltewah catcher Brody Binder hit an opposite-field double into the right-field corner to push Logan Fugate home with the winning run and the Owls beat league-leading Bradley Central, 7-6, in a 10-inning District 5-AAA baseball thriller on Monday night at A.C. Bud Ball Field.
"Good Lord, that was a long game," Owls center fielder Logan Fugate said. "That's the biggest win we've played. It was a mental toughness game because we've lost a lot of close games this year. We didn't quit and needed this win."
In other games involving two of the other top-tier teams, Soddy-Daisy blanked Cleveland, 9-0, and East Hamilton shut out McMinn County, 3-0.
With one regular-season game on Tuesday remaining for all four contenders, the Bears, Trojans and Hurricanes all have 8-3 district records. Ooltewah is 7-4 and 15-11 overall.
The Owls and Bears continue the home-and-home series Tuesday at Bradley Central. Game time is 7 p.m.
"We'll get back at it and see if we can't get another one," Owls coach Brian Hitchcox said. "We had opportunities to win this one and they had opportunities to win. We gave up the lead in the seventh and our guys could have folded, but they didn't.
"It wasn't a textbook game and ugly at times, but at the end of the day these kids kept battling."
Binder had singles in the first and second innings, hit into a double play in the fourth, was hit by a pitch in the sixth and intentionally walked in the eighth.
Errors by Bradley Central middle infielders – the Bears had four miscues in the game – put Fugate and Bradley on second and first, respectively, in the 10th inning. The two Owls were on the base paths all night, combining for seven hits in 12 at-bats, scoring six times and Bradley drove in two runs.
Throw in Binder's 3-for-4 game with a run scored and two RBIs, the Owls' top three hitters collectively went 10-for-16 with seven runs and four RBIs.
Bradley coach Travis Adams visited Bears pitcher Seth Lee on the mound just before Binder stepped in the batter's box for the final time.
Binder worked Lee to a 1-2 count and fouled off a third pitch in the zone.
On the next delivery, Lee sent a fastball at Binder, who ripped the ball down the right-field foul line – fair by about 18 inches – and Fugate scored without a throw to end the 3-hour, 14-minute marathon.
"It was a fastball away," said Binder, "and I just tried to go with it. This was a big for our team. We lost some leads late all year long, but we battled back tonight and that one hit was huge for us all."
Said Hitchcox, "Brody had a good approach in that at-bat. He's been fighting it lately because guys have been pitching him tough and sometimes pitching around him. Finally, in that situation they had to pitch to him and he got the ball just inside the foul line."
Bradley (16-11) tied the game in the seventh against Caleb Collins, who relieved starter Mitch Duncan to start the sixth when the Owls left-hander worked out of a bases-loaded jam on Logan Blackwell's bouncer back to the mound.
In the seventh, however, Chandler Duggan singled and scored on Cal Pickel's double to left. Pickel went to third on a groundout and scored when Jacob Barnes grounded out second-to-first.
Collins was back in the soup an inning later.
Kyler Lynn reached on an error and was sacrificed to second. Duggan singled Lynn to third. Pickel flied out to left fielder Bryson Owen, who threw a one-hop strike to Binder at home in time for the tag on the sliding Lynn to complete an inning-ending double play.
Collins retired the Bears in order in the top of the 10th inning on a groundout, fly-ball out and strikeout.
"Their guys some hits off Caleb, but he got outs when he needed them," Hitchcox said. "Their guy (Lee) did a heck of a job, too. Both guys pitched their guts out."
Ooltewah starter Mitch Duncan was as gritty as Collins.
Three times Duncan, who normally plays shortstop, escaped bases-loaded situations.
The Bears (16-11) got to him for two runs in the second on Tyler Carpenter's double and a bases-loaded walk by Caleb Pace. Another walk with the bases jammed pushed another Bradley run across in the third.
Collins got the Bears in order in the fourth, but gave up a run-scoring single to Pickel in the sixth that pulled Bradley to within 6-4.
Duncan and Collins combined for 10 walks and five strikeouts.
Monday's bottom line for the Bears was stranding 16 runners, including leaving the bases loaded in the second, third, fifth and sixth innings. Also on that line were the two costly errors in the 10th.
"We've got to look ourselves in the mirror," Adams said. "The first and last innings were all on us. We messed this up."
Bradley starter Brett Standifer didn't fare so well.
The Owls came out smoking and hitting blue-darters in all directions against the former Soddy-Daisy quarterback who has spent his senior season with Bradley's football and baseball teams.
Fugate and Bradley were on fire.
Fugate's first three hits – a triple and two singles – came on four Standifer pitches in the first four innings. It took Bradley eight pitches to collect three successive singles over the same span.
Through four innings Fugate and Bradley were a combined 6-for-6 with five runs scored and two RBIs – both on Bradley singles that scored Fugate.
"I don't like to take strikes," Fugate said. "Coach is always telling us to jump on the fastball. That's what I do."
Fugate flied out to deep center on the first pitch he saw from Lee in the sixth and went five pitches deep before cracking a single to right in the eighth. He hit a first-pitch grounder to second in the 10th that bounced off Duggan at second, triggering the game-winning rally.
So Fugate's 4-for-6 production, resulting in his scoring four times, came on a total of 10 pitches.
Ooltewah designated hitter Jackson Malcolm's two-run double capped the Owls' three-run first.
Ooltewah led 6-4 going into the seventh inning, but the Bears got a run-scoring double from ninth-place hitter Cal Pickel and a RBI groundout by Jacob Barnes off Ooltewah reliever Caleb Collins to send the game into extra innings.
Bradley Central 021 010 2 000 – 6 10 4
Ooltewah 320 100 0 001 – 7 15 2

Title: Why is my yaupon tree not producing berries in Metairie La?
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:What is the lifespan of a Yaupon Tree? We live in Louisiana, and our Yaupon would always get the white flowers in the Spring but never the red berries. Why is that?
From our Native Plant Database on Ilex vomitoria (yaupon):
"Yaupon is a versatile plant that tolerates drought and poor drainage, with best production of red fruit when shrub gets half a day of sun or more. Nursery plants are typically female (fruiting) and are propagated by cuttings. You must have both a male and female plant to have berries. The male must be the same species as the female and bloom at the same time."
When you go to a commercial nursery to purchase a yaupon, they usually all have berries because that's what the customers want. So, you buy the little plants and take them home, and the next year, unless you have a male yaupon within about 40 ft. of your plants, there will be no berries. The plants were pollinated by males before they were shipped to market. While the yaupon is a very common plant and males may be growing in the vicinity, that doesn't always hold true because, as you see in our excerpt above, the nursery plants are propagated by cuttings, meaning they are all clones of the parent, which was female. The workers at the nursery probably don't know the difference, and you will have to do some insisting to get a male plant ordered for you, but we doubt there will be any males on the actual sales floor. Both males and females bear the white flowers, but since the plant is dioecious, there must be a pollinating male present each year for the females to grow berries.
As for the lifespan of the yaupon, we really don't know, but we can tell you it is a slow-growing tree and grows from 12 to 25 ft. tall. It can be pruned and shaped, but will probably have more longevity than a faster-growing shrub or tree.

Oxidation Resistance of Hafnium Diboride Ceramics with Additions of Silicon Carbide and Tungsten Boride or Tungsten Carbide
N. Jacobson—contributing editor
This work was financially supported under Contract No. FA8650-10-D-5226.
*Member, The American Ceramic Society.
†Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dense samples of HfB2–SiC, HfB2–SiC–WC, and HfB2–SiC–WB were prepared by field-assisted sintering. The WB and WC additives were incorporated by solid solution into the HfB2 and the HfC that formed during sintering. Oxidation of the samples was studied using isothermal furnace oxidation between 1600° and 2000°C. Sample microstructure and chemistry before and after oxidation were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The addition of WC and WB did not alter oxidation kinetics of the baseline HfB2–SiC composition below 1800°C; however, at 2000°C, HfB2–SiC–WC and HfB2–SiC–WB had oxide scales that were 30% thinner than the oxide scale of HfB2–SiC. It is believed that WC and WB promoted liquid-phase densification of the HfO2 scale, thereby reducing the path of oxygen ingress, during oxidation.
