Hi Delmy,

Ten Easy Year-End Tax Tips
|Email Print
Have you thought about your taxes lately? Probably not, but this month is probably one of the most important months in tax planning because it's the last time you'll have an opportunity to effect any meaningful change to your taxes next year. Once December ends, 2008 is essentially frozen and your taxes will be what your taxes will be. So, what sorts of tax moves should you consider making?
Sell your stock losers. Any losses you realize from the stock market, that aren't offset by gains, can be deducted from your regular income, up to a limit of $3,000 a year. If you've been thinking about dumping some losers, now's the time to do it. If you have more than $3,000 in losses, you can carry those forward indefinitely (until death). More advanced traders may also consider tax loss harvesting as an option as well.
Donate to your favorite charities. Times may be tough but they're even tougher for charities and philanthropies, who rely on generous contributions to stay in operation. Consider donating money, goods, clothes, your car, anything – to one of your favorite charities so that they can stay operating through these difficult economic times. If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct contributions from your regular income.
Delay bonuses and income. If you can swing it, try to push any additional payments until the new year. If you are paid this year, you have to pay taxes on it in a few months. If you are paid next year, you won't have to pay taxes on it for an extra year. If your employer withholds taxes on your bonus payments, this is a less valuable strategy. 🙂
Prepay state and local taxes. This one is a little tricky, if you don't think you'll be subject to the AMT, consider prepaying your state and local taxes. State and local taxes are federal tax deductions so prepaying them today means you can deduct them today as well.
Accelerate other deductible expenses. If you have a mortgage, consider paying next month's payment this month. If you pay it this month, you can deduct the interest payment against this year's income. If you pay for it on January 1st, it'll have to wait until you file 2009 taxes. This is true of any deductible expenses you may have from student loan debt to medical to your real estate taxes. If you want, you can make the payment with a credit card and then pay off the credit card next month and still have it be deductible for 2008.
Use up your $12,000 gift exclusion. Each year, you are allowed to give $12,000 to someone else tax-free. If you give more than $12,000, then you are subject to what is known as the gift tax. It's a little backward but it's a page out of the estate planning book since heirs to an estate are often taxed on that estate. Anyway, if you were planning on giving someone a very generous gift, don't forget to to do it. Next year the limit rises to $13,000 so you can give $25,000 to someone within a week and avoid the gift tax ($12,000 on December 31st, $13,000 on January 1st). If you are married, you could give someone $50,000 ($25,000 from each spouse).
Beware buying into mutual funds with capital gains distributions. Mutual funds buy and sell stuff all year, then distribute a bit of that at the end of the year. What you won't want to do is buy into a mutual fund that is set to make a year-end capital gains distribution because you'll be immediately taxed on that distribution. Imagine a mutual fund that costs $100 a share. You buy it and the next day it makes a $1 per share distribution, lowering the cost per share to $99. You just bought the thing and already are on the hook for $1 per share in taxes. Boo!
Contribute to your retirement. If you aren't maxed out on your 401(k), or similar, plan, consider doing it because each dollar contributed is entirely deductible. The 2008 contribution limit for your 401(k) is $15,500 ($20,500 if you're 50 or greater). Another good idea is to contribute towards your IRAs but you have until April 15th to accomplish that.
Get married. Your tax filing status is based on your status as of December 31st, 11:59 PM. If you were married on December 31st, you're considered married for the year. If that helps your tax situation, you might want to consider it. 🙂
Get everything ready. If you're due a refund, try to get all your ducks in a row as soon as possible so the government will mail you your refund check ASAP. All you're really waiting for is the official W-2 from your employer, which they are required to mail out by January 31st, and you should be ready to hit the e-file button.

These are usually the rules followed in ones house that a particular game is being played in. These rules will always change from house to house and are sure to always cause a 10 minute argument/debate over them. These rules are known to be made up during the actual game.
For example: if you are playing pool in one person's house, his "house rules" might be that whoever makes the 8 On The Break wins automatically whereas the house rules of another person's house might be whoever makes the 8 On The Break loses automatically.

Don't offer amnesty to illegal immigrants
Amnesty didn't work in the 1980s and it won't stop illegal immigration now. The U.S. government gave amnesty to 3 million illegal immigrants in the '80s. It was supposed to fix the problem and was a one-time deal.
Now the U.S. government is thinking of offering amnesty again to 11 million more. When something doesn't work, you don't do it again.
America used to be a country of laws, but the U.S. government is hesitant or unwilling to enforce certain laws.
Illegal immigration is not just a few people, it is a mass problem of 11 million-plus, which costs taxpayers for health care, education, lost jobs, etc. It is also a safety issue with gangs, drugs and crime. No other country would allow illegal mass immigration!
The very first thing all immigrants should be able to do is read, write and speak English. The Bill of Rights, the Constitution and all American laws were written in English, not other languages.
If amnesty is given to illegal aliens for breaking laws, then everybody in jail or prison should also receive amnesty; otherwise, amnesty is creating discrimination.

"We have got a really busy program actually for both of them and Prince Harry," an aide to the trio confirms. "There will be a significant upsurge in engagements."
Kate and William, who celebrate their third wedding anniversary Tuesday, are still finalizing their summer schedules. But first, William is due to head to the wedding of pal Guy Pelly in Memphis this weekend.
Plans also are under way for visits by Harry to Chile and Brazil and another one to Estonia and Italy in Europe, while he will also front the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style event for servicemen and servicewomen in London in September.
For Kate, 32, the coming months will be an opportunity to further put her stamp on aiding those who work on palliative care – a team medical approach for treating the patient and working with the family – as well as hospice care.
During her tour of Australia and New Zealand, Kate's only speech was at the Bear Cottage hospice in Sydney. To a supporting "woo-hoo" from William, she spoke of the need to help families as well as the young patients themselves. And she urged an increase in collaborative care, something Kate is in a perfect position to help engender as she now has links with hospices around the world.
Kate is a patron of a group of hospices in the U.K., East Anglia Children's Hospices, and made a speech at a Malaysian center when the couple visited there two years ago. As well as seeing the Sydney hospice with her husband, she also took a solo visit to one near Auckland, New Zealand, earlier in the couple's 19-day tour.
William and Kate also plan to promote early intervention with marginalized children and a continuing effort to help wounded and former servicemen and women.
William also has a decision to make – what kind of work he will do following the "transitional year" that aides spoke about, that began back in September. His future could be full-time royal duties, taking on more of the work of the aging Queen Elizabeth, 88, and Prince Philip, who turns 93 in June. Or he could take a job in a government department, charity or public service.

No one can doubt that John Soldano wants to be sheriff of Columbiana County. His passion for the job is evident in the fact that he has run for election three times prior and has never won voter approval. Although this time, his fourth run, will doubtfully be his last, we still do not believe he is the best man for the job.
Current Sheriff Ray Stone wants to keep his job and we think he should.
Stone was drafted by the Republican Party to fill the job vacated by the resignation of David Smith, and appeared to be a reluctant candidate when he first ran four years ago. Despite his reluctance, however, Stone has adapted well to the job and taken several steps to place more deputies on the road without additional funding.
First, he streamlined civil operations that resulted in two more deputies on the road to protect the public. Additionally, Stone revamped video arraignments by having employees at the county jail monitor the arraignments rather than having a deputy perform the job. This move freed up another deputy for an additional two and a half hours per day.
He has proven adept at obtaining both federal and state grants that have improved the sheriff's department and protected his deputies. He improved the deputies' bulletproof vests and their handguns at no cost to taxpayers. He obtained the first tasers for the department and, through a COPS technology grant, was able to equip each cruiser with a laptop computer.
He has upgraded the patrol car tires to police-grade tires, which are rated for high speed and safer to drive on. He was also able to get MARCS radio for the department in August 2008 and the packs for the trunks of the vehicles to help bounce the signals into some of the areas of the county without service.
Stone said he has also started charging $5 for transport fees when county jail inmates have to be taken to municipal court, with the fee being paid by the defendant. He also revamped the foreclosure appraisal process by requiring only certified appraisers be used.
But there is also the issue of the seemingly growing list of unsolved murders and questionable deaths in the county, a list inherited from past sheriffs. Stone said he and his detectives have conducted thorough investigations but there are cases that are simply unsolvable at this point. He said some of the investigations have been completed and referred to the county prosecutor's office, and it is the prosecutor's decision whether to seek an indictment based on the available evidence.
Soldano has some good ideas and has been a good police chief in Leetonia. He would no doubt bring a certain energy level to the job, but don't mistake Stone's low-key demeanor for inaction. He has frequently demonstrated an ability to think creatively when addressing a problem and squeezing the most out of his tight budget to put more deputies on the road, and those efforts have paid off.
Therefore, we endorse Ray Stone for another term as sheriff of Columbiana County.

Stetson men's soccer senior Andreas Schnabl added to his long list of accomplishments on Thursday as he earned Capital One Academic All-District honors. Voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), the award recognizes those student-athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom.
Schnabl, who has earned Atlantic Sun Conference Academic honors and Conference Scholar accolades multiple times already, becomes the fifth Stetson men's soccer player to be named to the Academic All-District Team in the last five years. The Hatters have place student-athletes on the District 4 squad in each of the last three seasons.
Already the all-time leader in shutouts at Stetson with 15, Schnabl has led the Hatter defense by recording three shutouts thus far in the 2013 campaign. He has recorded a 1.55 goals-against-average this season, which keeps his career GAA mark of 1.27 as the best ever at Stetson.
Stetson is currently in fifth place in the A-Sun standings after back-to-back home victories over Mercer and Florida Gulf Coast. The Hatters continue the 2013 season on Saturday at North Florida.

It was a perfect day in the pool for Columbian. Both the TC boys and girls swept Galion and Upper Sandusky at a double-dual, which also included Calvert.
On the girls side, Columbian topped Upper Sandusky, 116-82, and edged out Galion 99-97. Natalie Howard took a pair of individual firsts, winning the 100 backstroke (1:08.20) and the 100 butterfly (1:06.35). Howard also was part of two winning relay teams, teaming with Abby Burton, Lindsay Young and Rachel Hudacek to take the 200 medley relay in 2:09.76. The same four also were victorious in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:55.29.
Young took first in the 100 breaststroke (1:25.93) while Hudacek won the 50 freestyle (26.0). Hudacek also lowered her school record in the 100 freestyle, finishing in 57.49, good for second in the event behind Calvert's Corinne Harris.
For the second time this week, Harris set a school mark in the event. On Wednesday Harris set Calvert's school mark in the 100 freestyle at 57.71. Saturday she took first, finishing in 57.42.
Harris also took first in the 200 IM (2:24.28) with Burton finishing second for TC (2:42.90).
Calvert also got a first-place finish from Katie Tiell in the 500 freestyle, finishing in 6:05.11, more than 11 seconds better than the second-place finisher.
In dual results, Calvert fell to Upper Sandusky 116-82 and Galion 111-58.
Upper Sandusky's top finish was a pair of thirds in relay events. Mallory Weininger, Ashley Cano, Justeen Searfoss and Hannah Barth took third in the 200 medley relay (2:33.40), while Weininger, Cano and Barth teamed with Abby Young for a third in the 200 freestyle relay (2:07.57).
TC's boys won 98-64 over Galion and 109-59 over Upper Sandusky.
Chris Gates picked up a pair of firsts, hitting the wall first in the 200 freestyle (1:57.73) and the 500 freestyle (5:19.43). He also was on two winning teams. Gates, Adam Young, Isaac Lewis and Braden Kuhn won the 200 Medley relay in 1:54.83. Young, Lewis, Gates and Nate Ramsdell won the 200 freestyle in 1:41.91.
Kuhn (1:13.42) and Lewis (1:16.28) finished 1-2 in the 100 breaststroke. Lewis won the 50 freestyle in 25.14 and Young took the 100 backstroke in 1:08.19.
For Upper Sandusky, Evan Scheck took second in the 100 backstroke (1:11.26) and third in the 50 freestyle (27.41).
Calvert's lone male swimmer, Anthony Traxler, picked up a pair of fifth place finishes, in the 50 freestyle (30.61) and the 100 freestyle (1:14.43).

This week, Men's Health announced its list of "100 Fittest Men of All-Time," including such fitness greats as Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the man deemed the "godfather of fitness," Jack LaLanne.
While it must've been a difficult process to select only 100 bodies out of hundreds of thousands of elite athletes who've walked the Earth, the final cut boasts some of the most amazingly fit men of all time who will continue to inspire greatness well beyond their peak years of health. Here we review the top five picks with a brief snapshot of each, starting with the athlete who came it at number five: College Football Hall of Fame member Herschel Walker.
For those not familiar with Walker (we certainly weren't), he's a former NFL player who made a triumphant return to sports as an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter 13 years after retiring from football. At age 40, not only was his comeback commendable but impressive, as he performed quite well winning two pro MMA bouts to date.
Perhaps more impressive is Walker's daily workout regimen which includes up to 3,500 sit-ups, 1,500 push-ups, and an 8 mile run. Can you imagine the amount of calories it would take to sustain such a grueling routine? Men's Health also pointed out that the athlete is considering making a return to the gridiron at the ripe age of 50, which leads us to ask "Is there anything Herschel Walker can't do?" (more…)

It's been a big day on the Jersey Shore.
In the ocean, the rollercoaster left under water in Superstorm Sandy's wake was in the process of being removed, while on land, the most famous tourist to set foot in the shore town – Prince Harry – visited the rebuilt boardwalk.
The prince, who has been touring the U.S. since last week, charmed a group of children affected by the storm.
Harry (escorted by Gov. Chris Christie) was greeted by screams and cheers from the largely-female waiting crowd under the shade of Jimbo's Cafe, before strolling in the sunshine to meet locals and construction workers who've helped put the devastated resort back together since the storm hit last October.
He also made sure that two young girls felt like princesses. Dressed in aviator-style shades, blue khakis and open-necked white shirt, Harry, 28, met Taylor and Allie Cirigliano, 11 and 7, and joined them in playing the Ball Toss. Taylor was successful (winning a blue elephant) but when her little sister missed out Harry said, "How about this girl having a prize?"
Lucky Allie came away with a Hello Kitty toy. "It was exciting because it's meeting royalty and I've never ever done that. But I was a little scared," she told PEOPLE.
Her mother Jill, 48, from Middletown, N.J., added, "It has definitely lifted the spirits of this community. It's an excitement and really wonderful positivity that this area has needed since October."
"I was impressed with Harry. He is charming and very playful with them. I hoped he would seem like a real, normal person and he did so even more than I had expected."
Jennifer Maier, borough administrator of nearby Union Beach where 220 homes were lost, told Harry they are building new solar homes with a grant from the New Jersey Sandy Relief fund.
As for the effect that Harry's visit will have, "Oh my God it's huge," she said. "You could not pick anyone who would bring more attention to the Jersey Shore and the situation we are in."
After his New Jersey visit, Harry went on to the New York City portion of his tour, where he participated in America's pastime (see photo in carousel above!).

A Buffalo man was sentenced Wednesday by Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny to 7½ years in prison for bank robbery.
Philip A. Purdue, 34, admitted robbing two banks in October and November of 2010 – one of them in Jamestown and one in North Carolina – and told Skretny that it was because, "I couldn't get a job at the junkyard. I couldn't get a job anywhere."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert C. Moscati said Purdue, who was with an accomplice, brandished what appeared to be a firearm during the robberies.
Assistant Public Defender John F. Humann told the judge that Purdue grew up on the streets, had been shot five different times and was out of money at the time of the robberies.

The condition where a group of people sharing a living space each avoid doing a household chore for an extended period because each believes it's someone else's responsibility. The idea is that eventually the situation will reach a critical mass where the guilty party will cave in and do the chore. In practice, the situation can escalate to extreme levels.

MVB Takes 3-2 Win Over Grand Canyon
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State men's volleyball team battled through another five-set thriller to remain undefeated after taking down Grand Canyon (25-22, 25-12, 18-25, 23-25, 15-12) Saturday afternoon at Worthen Arena. Senior outside attacker Greg Herceg led the Cardinals' offense with a career-high 25 kills.
With the win Ball State moves to a spotless 8-0 on the season and 3-0 in MIVA play, while Grand Canyon falls to 4-6 and 0-3 in league action.
Herceg's career-high 25 kills came off a .281 hitting percentage (25-9-57). The senior tallied a double-double after getting under a season-high 12 digs. Junior middle attacker Matt Leske tied his career-high in assisted blocks at eight and added two solo blocks. Leske also registered seven kills and a career-high four digs.
Senior setter Dan Wichmann tallied a career-high seven assisted blocks to go with 47 assists, three kills and a season-high eight digs. Libero Tommy Rouse got under a career-high tying 18 digs. Herceg, Shane Witmer and Urim Demirovski all tallied two service aces.
The Cardinals were in control for much of the first set with Herceg leading the charge with six kills. Witmer knocked in his two service aces in the set. Ball State was outhit by Grand Canyon .235 (12-4-34) to .200 (14-7-35) in the frame and the 'Lopes got 3.5 blocks to the Cardinals' one total block.
The Cardinal's defense picked up in the second set with the team nabbing nine total blocks. Demirovski rattled off six straight points and Wichmann took the set home serving the final five points. Leske and Wichmann added five assisted blocks in the set and Herceg tallied five kills.
The third set saw GCU hit at .269 (10-3-26) to BSU's .152 clip (12-7-33). The 'Lopes benefited from four Cardinal service errors and out-blocked BSU 3.5-2.0. Grand Canyon started the match going ion a 9-3 run and Ball State was not able to recover.
The fourth set saw 11 ties and five lead changes. Herceg served three crucial points down the stretch to bring the cardinals to within two, 24-22. Kevin Owens followed up with a kill to bring Ball State to within one, but Grand Canyon's Ben Ponnet sealed the set with a kill.
Ball State jumped to a 6-3 lead in the deciding set off three-straight kills from Herceg to force a Grand Canyon timeout. The 'Lopes would go on to tie the match four times down the stretch. A GCU service error and attack error forced a timeout as BSU was up 12-10. A kill by Witmer and Herceg brought the set to 14-11 in BSU's favor. A Cardinal attack error gave the 'Lopes life, but a kill from Herceg sealed the set and the match for Ball State.
The 'Lopes were led by the trio of Ryan Mather, Ben Ponnet and Christian Ward who had 12, 11 and 10 kills respectively.
The teams will square off Sunday night at 7 p.m. at Worthen Arena. You can keep track of the team on Twitter at @BallStateMVB or on Facebook at "Ball State Men's Volleyball". As always, ballstatesports.com is the official site of Ball State Athletics.

Making government more open
February 18, 2014
Too often, politicians publicly proclaim their allegiance to principles of open government, then privately do all they can to keep constituents in the dar....
And all those 'opposing' it better have good and acceptable explainations for not voting for the 'transparency' of their actions! I doubt most will accept their answers however. Just threw you all a hint!
Dems already getting together along with rhino republicans to prevent the people from seeing how they vote. They are getting a little scared of consequences for upcoming elections! And they SHOULD BE. We won't forget any of these things on election day.
Thank God for elections. It's the ONLY time politicians pay any attention to the voters; THEIR BOSSES!

As of now, we can view public records that tell us who voted for what. I know they don't like that, because it gives us a means of policing the government by showing us who voted against specific legislation. Take that away, and the people will be in the dark.
I know Pelosi, Reid and several others would love nothing better than seeing it go by the wayside, since their sneaky, underhanded attacks would no longer be public record. I use the roll call vote website extensively to see who's doing what.

The rhinos in congress that liberals love so much told the clerk that reads the names/votes on the debt ceiling vote this past week not to read the names so the people wouldn't see them "change" their votes to the opposite of what they told their constituents they would vote! Rhinos, as well as liberals must be voted out of office ASAP!

Politics is a game of getting support from the poor, and money from the rich, and making both think you're protecting one from the other. Being a liar is a necessity, or so they think, when you enter politics, but Barack Obama has taken being a liar to a whole new level. Other than when he made comments like,"your energy bills will double or triple", has he made an honest statement since he became president.
He kept his promise that he would do everything in his power to kill coal, and he has nearly succeeded in doing that. Oddly enough, he managed to keep his promise when it concerns helping people, but lied his ass off about creating jobs. I've never seen anyone kill jobs quicker than he has, and likely won't again.

From Washington Examiner:
On Thursday, Feb.20, 2014:
The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…" But under the Obama administration, the Federal Communications Commission is planning to send government contractors into the nation's newsrooms to determine whether journalists are producing articles, television reports, Internet content, and commentary that meets the public's "critical information needs." Those "needs" will be defined by the administration, and news outlets that do not comply with the government's standards could face an uncertain future. It's hard to imagine a project more at odds with the First Amendment.
Yeah more of the Obama administration's "failed attempt" to DICTATE what information the citizens get to hear or read about.

Oops...according to hotair****, the Obama administration/FCC goons decided to go ahead with it but deceitfully say they won't ask 'some' questions. Yeah right!
After a few days of public outrage over its study on editorial choice in newsrooms, the FCC will "amend" the research project — but still plans to conduct it. FCC chair Tom Wheeler will remove the questions in the study relating to news philosophy and editorial judgment, the commission announced, which leaves the question of what exactly the FCC will end up studying:
Faced with an outcry, the Federal Communications Commission's chairman said Thursday that he would amend the effort — intended to assess whether the news media were meeting the public's "critical information needs" — by removing questions that critics had deemed invasive. …
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler responded to the growing furor Thursday by ordering the removal of questions about news philosophy and editorial judgment.

From hotair****: (source)
I agree and most dems and republicans agree this is so UNLAWFUL that this will be in the SCOTUS soon, if they have the audacity to go forward with it.
The problem with this FCC study wasn't just one or two questions. It's that the FCC has no business involving itself in editorial judgment and news choices in the first place — especially at newspapers and Internet outlets. It's an arrogation of jurisdiction, which would surely be followed by an arrogation of authority and power to address whatever "crises" in news reporting the study produces.
The only solution to this is ending it, not amending it.

Other than issues relating to national security or military operations, EVERYTHING our government does should be a matter of public record. The people ARE the government, and the people we elected to office are not doing their job by keeping all of America in the dark about their activities. I've had several FOIA documents in my hands, and all of them looked like a piece of paper you'd see after giving a kid a marker and turning him loose on it.
By the time they get done blacking out what they don't want you to see, all you have is a piece of paper with scores of black lines on it. When they omit so much on one document, none of it makes any sense because key parts of it is missing relating to the subject at hand. From what I've seen, the FOIA is a joke. Maybe when they stop the nonsense and let us see what's really in these documents, it will have some validity to it.

The Niagara County Sheriff's Office Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program has returned to the North Tonawanda School District, and the first class of fifth-graders will graduate at 1 p.m. today at Meadow Elementary School.
The class will be escorted in by the sheriff's honor guard and will be honored by Sheriff James Voutour, North Tonawanda Police Chief Randy Szukala, Mayor Robert Ortt and County Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda.
The Sheriff's Office and North Tonawanda school officials worked together to return DARE to the school after several years without a program. The class was taught by Deputy Scott Gebhardt, who taught this first class of DARE students.

The classic sitcom's leading ladies reunited at Craig's restaurant in Los Angeles. After being BFFs for more than 20 years, the trio sure had a lot to talk about, leaving separately after dining for almost three hours, a source tells PEOPLE.
"They had a girls' dinner to celebrate Courteney's engagement," the source says. "They had a great time and enjoyed catching up over dinner for several hours."
Cox, 50, is set to wed Johnny McDaid after the Snow Patrol rocker popped the question in June.
Hopefully, she and Kudrow, 50, also raised a glass to Aniston, 45: She's been happily engaged to The Leftovers star Justin Theroux for two years.
Another Friend who joined the reunion dinner – albeit through FaceTime – was Matt LeBlanc.
"I just happened to FaceTime Courteney and she's like, 'Look who I am with!' I was like, 'Oh, wow, that's good,' " he told PEOPLE Thursday night at a Showtime event in Los Angeles. "It's hard to get together because everyone is all over the place."
And though he's given his stamp of approval on Theroux ("I met Justin and he's really nice!"), it sounds like another reunion is in order – this time including McDaid.
"I have not met Courteney's guy yet, so I need to get on that ... I need to get the baseball bat and go over there," he said, laughing.
In all seriousness though, "If they're happy, I'm happy," he added.

Senate bans EBT use at strip clubs, casinos
Florida lawmakers have given final approval to a bill that would ban the use of welfare recipients' EBT cards at "adult entertainment establishments" like strip clubs and casinos.
The Senate passed the bill on a 37-0 vote Friday, sending the measure (HB 701) to Gov. Rick Scott for his consideration.
The bill won overwhelming House approval earlier.
EBT cards - standing for electronic benefit transfer - are like debit cards. Welfare recipients use them to draw down their benefits.
Critics have said the bill is offensive to poor people.
But the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jimmie Smith, said in an earlier debate that voting against his measure was like "voting for lap dances on taxpayer dollars."

Comments about Waterford Kilbarry EDGE Fountain Pen:
If you enjoy a pen with a "heavier" feel in your hand with ink that just flows across the paper, this is the pen to get. I have gotten many compliments on the beautiful unique pattern of the pen as well. I own many other more expensive brands that do not compare to the Kilbarry.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not for everyday use
By TraditionalScholar
from Undisclosed
This is an attractive and elegant pen, with a comfortable and well-balanced feel. However, the nib produces a very thick line and the ink soaks through a normal piece of paper. This makes it less than ideal for everyday normal writing. By comparison, the ink is much thicker than the Levenger fiber tip broad rollerball refill.
A beautiful, quality pen
By JohnInHudson
from Hudson, NY
I bought this as a gift for a client, so I can't review its function. But as for the rest of it -- it's really a well-built, well-balanced and lovely pen. It's a classic style sure to stand up over time and the price makes it a great value.
Great pen
By Judomaster

This pen was a wonderful gift. It is smooth and has a comfortable grip. The gunmetal finish is excellent and it is a pleasure with which to write.
Beautiful Instrument

Great everyday pen for signatures and correspondence. Very nice heft; comfortable in the hand. Handsome, and you can't beat Waterford quality.
Wonderful Waterford Fountain Pen
By Coloradowriter
from Palisade, CO
I love smooth writing fountain pens that feel firm in my hand. This one fits the bill and is in a class by itself. I have a Levenger classic Galileo limited edition pen that I use for special occasions, but now this silver beauty will be used just as much. My only complaint was that they only provided one cartridge with the pen, and it didn't work without another one to force it to stay in place and allow the ink to flow freely. This is a winner.
Excellent pen
By Engbcubed
Nice feel, exceptionally smooth writing. No regrets, worth every penny.

It doesn't leave the office, for fear something might happen to it. It writes smoothly, has a nice weight/feel, and looks absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend.
Fabulous Gift for a Grad
By MPS0619

Purchased this for a recent MBA Graduate, and can't wait to give it to her. Love the feel of the pen in my hand, it is well weighted. Have not used it myself, but I am sure she will love it.

The topic of ISP data retention came up once again in the halls of Congress. A new bill, known as the "Internet SAFETY Act," seeks to compel ISPs and anyone who hosts a Wi-Fi access point to log all information that could identify users, in order to assist police investigating child pornography.
Known formally under the full title "Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today's Youth Act," the Internet SAFETY Act is actually two companion pieces of legislation – one working its way through the Senate as S.436, and the other through the House as H.R.1076. Their sponsors are Senator John Cornyn and Representative Lamar Smith, and both are republicans hailing from Texas.
"While the Internet has generated many positive changes in the way we communicate and do business, its limitless nature offers anonymity that has opened the door to criminals looking to harm innocent children," said Cornyn in a Thursday press conference. "Keeping our children safe requires cooperation on the local, state, federal, and family level."
Both bills are virtually identical, and contain the same language. "[Providers] of an electronic communication service or remote computing service" will be required to retain "all records … pertaining to the identity of a user of a temporarily assigned network address" for two years.
Observers interpret the law to mean anyone who runs a network that assigns users a temporary IP address, internal or external – which would cast ISPs like AT&T in the same lot as coffee shops and corporate networks using DHCP.
CNET notes that both the U.S. Department of Justice's position and legal definition of "electronic communication services" line up with this interpretation.
"Law enforcement officials had a chokehold on child pornography before the Internet exploded," reads a Dallas Morning News editorial penned by Rep. Smith. "Perpetrators relied on the postal service to traffic their trade, and, by the end of the 1980s, postal investigators were winning the battle."
"But the Internet changed everything. Now criminals can view pictures, download videos and watch the live molestation of a child. Pedophiles have, in effect, found a safe haven online."
Citing the imagery of a TV crime drama, Rep. Smith wonders: "How many times have we seen TV detectives seek call logs of a suspect in order to determine who he has been talking to? What if the telephone companies simply said to the detectives, 'Sorry, we get rid of that information after 24 hours'?"
Increased data retention favors a completely different set of suitors as well, says Electronic Privacy Information Center director Marc Rotenberg: the music and movie industry. Such a bill would "create new risk" for web surfers and peer-to-peer users, spawning legal fishing expeditions and lawsuits.
"It's a terrible idea," said Rotenberg.
Perhaps spurned on by privacy advocates' calls for service providers to have a shorter memory – a call that many have listened to – or the death of COPA, it appears the Internet SAFETY Act is the latest in a series of anti-child-pornography initiatives seeking to lift the veil on internet anonymity.
quote: But the price of eternal vigilance is frequent funerals: in 2005, 48 people were murdered by gunfire in Switzerland - about the same number as in England and Wales, which have a population seven times as large. According to the International Action Network on Small Arms, an anti-gun organisation based in the UK, 6.2 people died of bullet wounds in Switzerland in 2005 per 100,000 of population, second only to the US figure of 9.42, and more than double the rate of Germany and Italy.

Thai Style Noodles
My favorite Thai noodle dish is Pad Kee Mao or Drunken Noodles. Thanks to It's a Vegan World - Thai event, I decided to try this at home. When I searched the web, this recipe looked close to the Pad Kee Mao I get at my favorite Thai restaurant. The nearest Asian store in the neighboring town did not carry the flat sen-yai noodles that this requires. The owner promised to get me some the next day but even a week later, she did not have them. So I figured I'd adapt the recipe with what I had in hand. This turned out a bit different because of the noodles and other variations but still it was one delicious dish! Since this isn't exactly Pad Kee Mao, I'm calling it Thai Style Noodles :)
For the marinade:
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp palm sugar
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp red chili flakes
1 tbsp oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped fine
2-3 dry red chilies
1 small onion, chopped
1 small block of tofu cut into small cubes
1 small red pepper, cut into strips
1 bunch spring onions, cut into long strips
handful cilantro leaves
salt to taste
1 pack Ching's Hakka noodles
Method: First prepare the marinade and marinate the tofu. Chop vegetables. Prepare the noodles as per instruction. While the noodles are cooking, heat oil in a wok. When it gets very hot, add crushed garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add dry red chillies, onions and red peppers and continue to saute on high heat, for about a minute. Add marinated tofu, the remaining marinade and cooked noodles. Mix well. Adjust seasonings. Add spring onions and cilantro.
The red chillies I used were not hot enough, so I added about a tsp of red chili paste (sambal oelek). Next time over, I'd also increase the amount of red chili flakes in the marinade. I normally do not like chunky tofu in dishes but the marinade made a world of difference!
I will try the original Pad Kee Mao with sen-yai noodles some day soon for sure. The flat noodles give a different texture & taste to the dish.
Closer Look -
This is going to Priya for IAVW-Thai event, which was started by Vaishali. It is events like these that give us the impetus to prepare dishes that we've been meaning to make for ages! Thank you both for that too!
Priya passed me this wonderful "I love your blog" badge. Thanks so much, Priya! I truly cherish this!

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
India-based Labindia Instruments is selling its mass spectrometry business to AB Sciex and its microscopy and histopathology business to Leica Microsystems. AB Sciex and Leica say that the transactions are a natural outcome of their respective supply arrangements with Labindia in India.
AB Sciex explains that its investment strategy in India is to combine its global resources, world-class scientific expertise, and product development leadership with well-established, local expertise, and on-site support to respond to the growing needs of India's scientific community. The firm's expansion of its commercial operations in India is expected to create new opportunities for partnerships and development.
Labindia has been supplying AB Sciex mass spectrometry instruments to the Indian market for the past 15 years. The transition of this business including customer relations, personnel, and application support facilities to AB Sciex is a direct result of the successful track record that it has had with Labindia.
"Expansion of AB Sciex' commercial operations in India will strengthen our position and help us build on the success of Labindia's mass spectrometry business as well as execute our growth strategy," says Umesh Pawa, managing director, AB Sciex India. "By integrating Indian sales, service, and support functions into AB Sciex' global resources and operational excellence, we will simplify the process for customers to do business with AB Sciex and drive the highest standard of support, further enhancing customer satisfaction levels."
Leica Microsystems and Labindia, on the other hand, have worked together for more than 20 years. With its acquisition, Leica says that over 130 associates from Labindia have transferred over.
"Leica Microsystems' expansion of its commercial operations in India creates extended opportunities for interaction, collaboration, and innovation to benefit all of our customers in the life sciences, industrial laboratories, and hospitals for both diagnostics and surgery," explains Arnd Kaldowski, president of Leica Microsystems. "This acquisition will enable closer contact with our customers so that we can better support them in their day-to-day work."

Covering 800 hectares, Lavaux is the largest contiguous vineyard region in Switzerland, and its daringly constructed hillside terraces have been protected by UNESCO since 2007.
Right at the start of this tour, the medieval St. Saphorin with its narrow alleys and characteristic winegrowers' houses from the 16th to 19th centuries is worth a visit. The town's original church steeple still adorns many wine labels today. It is said that the Auberge de l'Onde, an establishment that can look back at a centuries-old tradition of hospitality, and where local delicacies are served on three floors, is worth sinning for.
To carelessly pass by wine cellars and traditional pubs would be a crime. After all, those who want to experience the scenery with all the senses should also taste it. And after a glass of Chasselas the dynamic uphills and downhills of the trail to Lutry are twice as much fun. On some days of the week the "Lavaux Express" is ready to comfortably transport tired hikers through the World Heritage Region, as is the "Lavaux-Panoramic" train, which takes hikers through the same region.

In order for me to balance out my work flow, the housework, playtime and downtime a few things have had to slide... fancy elaborate meals at dinner time were one of them.

PDN Video: Bil Zelman on How to Shoot Ads That Look Real (Not Staged)
Posted by David Walker on Monday November 18, 2013 | PDN Video Picks
Posted by David Walker on Monday November 18, 2013 | PDN Video Picks
Photographer Bil Zelman specializes in shooting lifestyle advertising for top brands such as Coke, Apple and Budweiser that looks real, not staged. Getting natural, emotionally genuine performances out of talent is one of the biggest challenges for advertising photographers, but Zelman has spent his career honing his skill. In this video, he describes how he saved one shoot that was spiraling out of control, and he shares some tips and tricks he uses to coax the performances he's looking for.
Photographer Bil Zelman: How to Get Genuine Emotion from Non-Professional Talent from PDNOnline on Vimeo.
Zelman uses non-professional talent almost exclusively. He explains, "They don't know what's expected of them. Usually they show up a little bit nervous and it's easier for me to relax them, rather than pro talent that shows up feeling like they're going to act it out. I hate acting. that's the bottom line.
"You know, people are laughing in [advertising] scenes all over the place, and so good talent will simply guffaw the entire time, and it looks so fake. So I would much rather have somebody uncomfortable in front of the camera, and then do something stupid to make them laugh, than hire somebody's who's basically a somewhat attractive professional laugher.
"Whatever city we're flying to, I'll fly my casting director (Heather Smith) there ahead of time and she'll go to bars, and Craigslist, and hit all the social media and we'll just find people. if I need bikers she goes to motorcycle gangs and if I need twenty five-year-old college kids she goes to the colleges, not to talent agencies.
"I try to go to casting calls whenever possible. Depending on the mood of our desired performance I might yell at [the people answering the casting call] or throw something at them. I'll see if they can cry, [and see] what their eyes do when they genuinely laugh verses faking it with just their mouth. Perhaps I'll ask them to dance with no music going. It all depends on the job but I'm looking hard to flush out any overacting, self-consciousness or catolog-like contrapposto or gestures and such.
"I'm often looking for big, extroverted personalities as well- A person who you can throw into a group of strangers and get them all roiled up regardless of the fact that it might be 6 am."

6 Unspoken Rules of Public Transportation (Everybody Breaks)
No one wants to be on mass transit. Whether it's a bus, a train or, for our Norwegian readers, one of your big public toboggans, no one's taking transit for the fun of it. We're not there to have new experiences, or meet new people, or smell new smells. We're there because, by definition, we want to be somewhere else.
If you feel this way (and you almost certainly do) and you realize that everyone else feels the same way (we definitely do), one obvious conclusion jumps out. Everything will be much more tolerable if everyone in one of these big people-moving boxes does everyone else the tiny courtesy of leaving them the fuck alone.
These smiles are just to mask the malevolent scorn these two feel for each other.
This is something most people get intuitively. It's basically the Golden Rule in action; we want to be left alone on the bus, so leave everyone else alone. But not everyone gets this, whether because they don't want to be left alone, or because they never learned the Golden Rule, or because they have been swallowed by their own asshole and are now some kind of Mobius dickhead.
Maybe you're one of them. Maybe you're reading this as part of a court-ordered alternative punishment because of something you've done on a bus. Maybe courts have finally gotten that rad. So, for the benefit of the courts, and to satisfy the conditions of my own court-ordered alternative punishment, I present this column on the six worst things human beings do to one another on public transportation, and how to avoid them.
#6. Sitting Too Close
Science has told us that people generally prefer it when everyone else stays at least a couple feet away from them. Obviously, that's not always going to be practical when we're riding the loser cruiser, which means that we all have to, at least a little bit, put up with people being up in our grills.
And to make this necessary encroachment somewhat more tolerable, we should at least try to delay it as long as possible: When on a lightly crowded bus or train, don't sit down beside someone else until it's absolutely necessary.
This relates quite closely to the concept of urinal etiquette, which provides guidelines for basically the same problem that dudes have at a bank of urinals. For those readers without funhoses, I'll explain: Dudes don't like peeing beside other dudes, and will position themselves at a bank of urinals to maximize the amount of space between everyone. There are quizzes you can take to learn the etiquette, but for transit-related circumstances, the shorthand works really well: Always go for an isolated seat before you sit down beside someone.
Here, green means good. Sitting in a red seat is an act of open hostility, about the equivalent of twisting the head off a doll while staring at him unblinkingly, humming "Hakuna Matata."
A side note: Experts agree that you get Bonus Bus Points if you're willing to move to an empty space when one opens up. Yes, this "feels weird" -- you're going to worry what the person you're moving away from is thinking. "Do I smell?" is one obvious possibility. "Is that guy racist against stinky people?" is another. But don't worry about it; that weird feeling passes quickly, as everyone involved enjoys the extra space they've just acquired. Don't try to explain why you're doing this; that will actually make things even weirder. Instead, keep a printed copy of this column with you at all times and hand it to your ex-seatmate as you depart. Handing out printed copies of websites you enjoy is a totally normal, nonthreatening thing to do.
#5. Blocking the Window Seat
Because of how completely bullshit gravity is, standing is generally more work than sitting, and generally worth avoiding if at all possible. So anyone who makes it more difficult for someone to reach an empty seat is a real gaping asshole. If you happen to be doing that, say by parking yourself in an aisle seat, thus blocking an empty window seat, well, I hope you didn't have an appointment to keep. Because your bus is being rerouted straight to hell.
Which is I think a Meatloaf lyric.
"But! But! But!" I hear you mewling. "I have to get off at the next stop, and don't want to have to climb over anyone to get out! Welp!"
Oh. Well, that's fine then. Sure, go ahead and inconvenience other people to save yourself that trouble. You colossal asshat. Get up and stand by the door before you get stabbed.
#4. Letting Everyone Else Hear Their Crappy Music
Based on my study of 1980s movies, loud music on the bus and subway used to be a bigger problem in the 1980s, when the only way to listen to music was by ghetto blaster. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore, although I will admit to not living very close to any ghettos.
I have been trying to get a grotto installed, actually, but the homeowner's association are being real grotto-babies about it.
What I do see, or rather, hear, are crappy earbud headphones that leak approximately 100 percent of their sound out the back, to the point where I wonder if they might work better if they were inserted backward. The (old) stock Apple headphones were pretty bad for this; I could be half a bus away from a set of those and still pick up lyrics.
Music is great on public transportation because it helps us ignore everyone else. But don't let that perfectly healthy act of antisocial behavior degenerate into the less healthy act of forcing everyone else around you to listen to dubstep.

The Overlooked Group of Climate Change Fighters
There are a group of people often overlooked in the fight against climate change and they can be one of our greatest allies as we figure out how to limit the damage from extreme weather, rising seas and threats to food security. They are the millions of indigenous people who live in the world's remaining forests. Often overlooked, ignored, marginalized and attacked, they stand at the heart of a global solution on climate change that all of us, whether we live in big cities or remote villages, can benefit from.
