Don't miss the carousel for the trees
Supporters of Saranac Lake's Adirondack Carousel make a good point that trees in William Morris Park block the view of this impressive structure and attraction from Church Street and Bloomingdale Avenue.
Christopher Cohan, a landscape architect based in Rye, recently wrote a letter to Adirondack Carousel board President Marge Glowa offering his services free of charge to draft a master plan for the village park. He suggested removing most of the trees along the Bloomingdale Avenue fence line and replacing them with shrubs inside the fence and flowers outside.
Mr. Cohan, whose family has donated to the carousel over the years, said it is a "handsome structure" but "it is invisible."
Something like visibility could make a real difference in the fortunes of the carousel, which is hanging in there but is not (yet, anyway) a runaway success. Most new enterprises take some time to get established. The village has an incentive to show off the carousel since it enhances a village crossroads that has been improved in recent years and has further potential, commercially and residentially. The village also, in agreeing to host the carousel in the park, is obliged to show it off to mutual advantage.
Of course, the village also has an obligation to all park users, so let's take a closer look.
Two sets of trees are involved: three white spruces close together just inside the fence, and an array of red maples and white ashes outside, between the fence and the sidewalk.
We suggest the spruces could go but that the others remain.
Trees are beautiful, and each of these trees is attractive on its own. But unlike in a forest, where trees grow where they will, in a park, trees are planted strategically in arrangements where they enhance the space.
To our eyes, the maples and ashes seem to have been placed intentionally, ornamentally, as is typical in a park. The spruce row, however, seems to have either been planted as a screen on purpose, before there was a carousel to block, or else they sprang up accidentally.
Only the crowns of the maples and ashes block one's view of the carousel, but the spruces block one's line of sight from top to bottom. And being evergreens, they block it year-round, whereas the deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter.
We do notice that young children have fun hiding among the spruces against the fence, so that's a benefit they provide. Some kids would miss that.
They also provide a little shade but, being cone-shaped, not as much as the umbrella-shaped deciduous trees outside the fence.
There's almost no taxpayer cost involved with cutting down three trees, so that's not a factor.
If this landscape architect's credentials are acceptable to both the village and the carousel committee, and if he donates a master plan that looks good to both sides, it might make sense for the village to follow his professional advice and remove these three spruce trees to open up a window on the carousel for passers-by.

Home Exchange Vacation Home Rental Hospitality HOME EXCHANGE
Home exchange, a travel lodging option born in academia in the '50's and 60's (and now in the mainstream), is an arrangement between two individuals or families from different parts of the country or world agreeing to "swap" their primary or secondary home for a mutually agreeable period of time. Vacation home exchange makes short and long term economic sense and provides for a higher quality of comfort and culture when traveling.
Why home exchange
Culture, comfort, and cost are three of the primary factors that bring people back to home exchange time and time again. Read Member Benefits for many more than will surprise and delight you.
Back to top
VACATION HOMES Swapping of secondary/vacation homes and non-simultaneous swaps are on the rise in a big way! Read more.
Hospitality exchange is an arrangement that lets an individual or family stay with another individual a family (and visa versa) for a mutually acceptable period of time. Hospitality exchange, or host exchange as it is very often referred to, requires as much planning as any other type of home exchange travel arrangement, but the end result is no different from having friends or family as houseguests from anywhere from a weekend to a couple of weeks. And of course these "guests" are members of your DigsvilleNetwork so they are identifiable as fellow group members. Non-reciprocal hospitality is when a hospitality offer will be extended without a scheduled reciprocal stay. The scenarios for this will very greatly, here are a few.
Benefits of HospitalityExchanging hospitality provides the means to swap ideas, build new friendships and gain insight into each other's worlds. Sharing in the preparation of meals (including shopping in local markets), dining with several generations of relatives, putting your foreign languages skills to use in a supportive environment, and being directed to the jewels of a region often overlooked in the guide books, are a few of the benefits of an exchange while your hosts remain during your stay. For many it may be simply a comfortable place to hang your hat for a bit while traveling around a region. As in all exchanges, understanding the needs and expectations of one another will ensure a positive experience. Whether you will be traveling alone or with children, the amount of time to spent together, and the number of shared meals, are just several of the important issues for the host and guest to discuss prior to committing to the exchange.

Johannes King is on an exciting path of discovery, constantly finding new regional produce, preparing it to the highest standard and dazzling his guests.
In recent years, Johannes King has developed his cuisine significantly, steadily integrating more and more products from Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark into his repertoire and giving a voice to the culinary versatility of 'his' region. Many of the ingredients associated with award-winning cuisine, such as goose liver, olive oil and Breton fish, have vanished from the menu. King has made things simpler by concentrating on the essentials and slimming down his dishes for good. "Less is more" is his motto. Consequently, King is able to let the taste of the region, or rather the terroir, leap off the plate. He has found a sustainable, authentic identity, well aware that many experiences lie ahead and that his development as a chef is far from complete.
Signature King dishes include stuffed Brussels sprouts with beurre noisette vinaigrette and smoked ham.He removes the leaves from the Brussels sprouts, blanches them briefly, then adds a seasoned stuffing, for instance duck confit, duck liver and a light dumpling mixture, and serves with smashed Brussels sprouts al dente. This wonderfully earthy combination places the flavour spectrum of the Brussels sprout in a completely new context. Another innovation is King's parfait and sorbet of Morsum apple with celery and rapeseed oil , which engenders a beautiful dialogue between the hazelnuts in the parfait and the rapeseed oil, whilst candied, freshly shaved celery creates an earthy-vegetable foundation for the various apple elements – magnificent! We can't wait to see where Johannes King's journey of discovery will take him next …

An overwhelming response to our need for a team. We have had people applying from various parts of the country and at various stages of their career. To each one of them, I would like to say 'thank you'. Regardless of whether we could forge a relationship or not. Thank you very much for applying. For showing interest in GC. And to all the Gen-X out there I would like to say, 'forget about the package', 'the deal'. We cannot make a deal of our life. If we can just let go and work and learn, there is no way that the benefits will not grow. But to restrain ourself in a 'package', to put a ' price tag' on ourself is the greatest damage we can cause to ourselves. We can sell our 'services' but not 'ourselves'. And when we become a part of a team, we are offering 'ourselves' and we have to believe that what we deserve will come to us. In its own way and time. But that requires 'faith'. And its easier to buy 'gadgets', 'accessories' than to have 'faith'.
Yes, it is difficult now to be a part of GC. Over the years, we have become very selective. We want the best. The very best. We want different people. Men and Women with a purpose, with a mission, with a commitment for their lives. We do not want the crowds. All we need is a small team with each member like a laser beam in terms of knowledge and performance. Each one with more than 100 percent output. Each one willing to be forged through fire.
Maybe we will have only one member. Does not matter. Even one can scale the mountains for us. We still want the best.
The hardware in the office needs attention. So do a lot of other things. As always. Nothing new here. The review committee of AAI has still not been finalized, as far as we know. But then we are not liasioning agents and we do not always have the 'inside information'. A few of our clients are waiting and we do not know what to tell them or what next steps to take. A lot of darkness here.
Omprakash (the admin guy) has been asked to leave. He fell so much in love with
the power of the chair' that he forgot to plant his feet firmly on the ground. Just wanted the 'Bossgiri' without the hardwork to support it. A common problem everywhere. We did not want the virus to spread. 'Power' is a very powerful drug. The most lethal one too. 'Cocaine' would be nothing before the 'addiction to power'.
Have no idea how to market the maps on the shop. 'paise nahin hain'. I mean for aggressive marketing. We have to let 'time' take 'time'. Things will happen at the right time, when they are meant to.
Let 'time' take 'time'.

This article appeared in today's Sun. Now I know Paul has discussed asking Yoko about doing this for only Yesterday (refer to http://www.macca-central.com/macca-news ... cfm?ID=525 ), but to has Paul really done this or is this another example of tabloid journalism ?
So now it's McCartney & Lennon
PAUL McCARTNEY has enraged Beatles fans by altering the songwriting credits on his new CD to give himself prominence over JOHN LENNON.
Macca has stripped off legendary tagline Lennon & McCartney from 22 songs he performs on the Back In The US 2002 disc.
He has replaced it with "composed by Paul McCartney & John Lennon."
Die-hard fans claim Sir Paul was miffed at being relegated to second place, and say it is a ploy by him to rewrite the history of the Beatles.
One said last night: "He's never liked the fact that it's always been Lennon & McCartney and not the other way around.
"To be fair, Paul had the most creative input on all of The Beatles songs he played on his Back In The US tour.
"But the Lennon & McCartney tagline goes back 40 years and in my mind he is attempting to change the most important songwriting legacy of all time."

ALTUS – The Wayland Baptist University campus located on Altus Air Force Base will now be enrolling civilian students thanks to new security procedures on the base. Upon enrollment, the base will issue a pass to students who do not currently have base access. This new process opens the campus to potential students across Altus and the surrounding area.
"We are extremely excited about the opportunity to serve the educational needs of southwest Oklahoma and nearby Texas communities. Prior to this initiative, non-military persons wanting a bachelor's or master's degree had four options: move, drive more than 50 miles one-way, watch an instructor in an ITV lab, or own a computer with Internet access to online instruction," explained Dr. J.M. Givens, Jr., Executive Director and Dean of the Altus campus. "We provide a fifth option: live instructors in a small classroom setting. Whether you are a 20-year-old who just finished your associate's degree or a 40-year-old wanting a career change, Wayland can help you seek your dream."
The new arrangement will particularly benefit Trish Hutchison, a web developer for Aviation Training Consulting in Altus. She began courses at WBU-Altus while working as a civilian on base, but was unable to continue classes once she took a job off-base. She resorted to online education through another university but found the experience highly lacking.
Hutchison then reenrolled at Wayland in their online courses, but has dearly missed the classroom connection. The new base access will allow her to finish her degree in May 2008 in face-to-face classes.
"I absolutely love being able to go to class on base. I missed the classroom college experience. You miss the camaraderie with students and being able to study with someone. Being able to get back on base is phenomenal for me," she said. "If it wasn't for Wayland, I wouldn't have been able to finish my degree and work full-time as well. Wayland has been a dream come true."
Wayland Baptist University – Altus offers undergraduate degrees in business, human resources, health care administration, management, justice administration, human services, Christian ministry and occupational education, a major utilizing previous professional or technical training. These degrees are designed to maximize transfer of college credits as well as provide credit for work experience which older adults might have accumulated.
WBU – Altus offers a class schedule that fits the needs of working adults. Most classes are offered in the evenings, one night each week, and last 11 weeks. Other options are available online or on weekends. With four terms each year, students can finish their degrees faster and get to their career goals quicker.
That was the major appeal for Ruth Mesa, an assistant in the criminal justice and aviation department at Western Oklahoma State College. Being able to take classes more often, at night and online – working around her job and family – made it possible for her to attend.
"The convenience and the smaller classes were appealing, and the professors have been so great," said Mesa, who finished her bachelor's degree in business at WBU and is now working on a Master of Business Administration. "The people in the office have been so helpful too, always helping me find the classes to fit my schedule."
Wayland's graduate programs in Altus include two business degrees: the Master of Arts in Management and the Master of Business Administration. The university also offers three completely online master's degrees in public administration, Christian ministry and education.
Registration for the next term begins soon, and advisors are prepared to help students design a degree that fits their career goals and their past experience. Call the campus at (580) 481-5243 or visit the Web site at www.wbu.edu/altus.

"It's a massive, unbelievable competitive advantage. Having access to a private jet is the single most important asset to any national political campaign. "
Preowned: August-September 2007
Bigger isn't always better, which is one reason many attendees like the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE), which takes place in Switzerland each May. They see it as a scaled-down version of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention that is held annually in the U.S. And they laud the Geneva Convention (as many refer to it) for its more intimate setting and because-despite much lower attendance than the U.S. show-many exhibitors believe it attracts more serious buyers.
In Geneva this year, the sun-soaked static display of approximately 50 aircraft included relatively few used jets. For the most part, they were large aircraft that have been in high demand, like the Boeing Business Jet. The market for that model has been on fire lately, with prices rising quickly from around $45 million to about $55 million. Now, one BBJ that was displayed at Geneva reportedly is under contract for more than $60 million-prompting the owner of the only one remaining for sale to chart new territory with an asking price above $65 million. Referring to the current escalation of prices and what buyers are willing to pay, one of my counterparts at the show asserted, "Crazy doesn't exist anymore."
While talk of ruble-laden Russians buying up everything with wings is pervasive right now, the reality may be somewhat less exciting-at least it was at EBACE. In fact, a few weeks after the show, all of the used aircraft displayed there were still being marketed actively. As noted above, one BBJ is under contract, but its U.S. buyer surfaced prior to the show. From that standpoint, EBACE may be much like the U.S. convention, where relationships are often initiated and then cultivated, allowing for a sale to follow later on.
It was a bit surprising to see so many familiar faces in Geneva, which brings to mind the only complaint I heard about the event: "There are too many American accents this year. I hope this doesn't turn out to be like NBAA." Interestingly, that comment came from a foreigner at the show-an American!

On December 22, 2011, the U.S. Department of State's Rewards for Justice Program (RFJ) issued a reward offer of up to $10 million for information leading to the location of al-Qaida financier and operative Ezedin Abdel Aziz Khalil, better known as Yasin al-Suri.
This announcement by Robert A. Hartung, Assistant Director of the Threat Investigations and Analysis Directorate inside the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, marks the first time that the RFJ program had offered a reward for information leading to a terrorist financier.
Under an agreement between al-Qaida and the Government of Iran, Yasin al-Suri has helped move money and terrorist recruits through Iran to al-Qaida leaders in neighboring countries in the region.
Since 1984, the U.S. Government has designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Yasin al-Suri also has arranged for the release of al-Qaida operatives from Iranian prisons and their transfer to Pakistan.
As a result of his terrorist activities, on July 28 of this year, the U.S. Treasury Department placed him on its list of "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" -- individuals and entities with which U.S. citizens are prohibited from engaging in commercial or financial transactions.
Additional information about Yasin al-Suri is located on the Rewards for Justice web site at here.
As a key fundraiser for the al-Qaida terrorist network, he is a continuing danger to the interests of the United States, to its facilities, and its citizens. Locating al-Suri and shutting down his operations would eliminate a significant financial resource for al-Qaida.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of al-Suri should contact the Rewards for Justice program, a U.S. embassy or U.S. consulate, or a U.S. military commander immediately. Individuals also may submit a tip anonymously at the RFJ Web site at www.RewardsforJustice.net.
You may also reach the Rewards for Justice program via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Individuals in Afghanistan may call the RFJ tip line at 0700 108 600.
All information will be kept strictly confidential.
Since its inception in 1984, the RFJ program has paid more than $100 million to more than 70 people who provided credible information that prevented international terrorist attacks or helped bring terrorists to justice.
Through the efforts of the courageous people who have stepped forward with information about wanted terrorist suspects, the Rewards for Justice program has helped law enforcement authorities throughout the world stop terrorists and save lives.
The RFJ program is an interagency initiative that offers rewards for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of anyone who plans, commits, or attempts international terrorist acts against U.S. persons or property, that prevents such acts from occurring in the first place, that leads to the location of a key terrorist leader, or that disrupts terrorism financing. The program is managed by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

The MBT Mahiri is a casual men's sneaker style low profile boot
MBT shoes change the way you use your body so that your muscles, back, and joints work as a unit to compensate for the shoe's natural instability. The unique multi-layered sole and Masai sensor help you to achieve improved posture and balance, strengthen and tone muscles, and reduce pressure on your joints as it emulates the feeling of walking on sand. The rolling motion of MBT shoes is greatly beneficial to those with plantar fasciitis and other types of foot problems.
MBT Mahiri Black Cow Suede Men's Shoe
Features include:
This MBT style features removable insoles so that you can add your own orthotic insoles. Although to fully benefit from the MBT technology the MBT shoes should be worn without orthotics.
If you have any questions you can find the answers in our MBT Shoes Frequently Asked Questions section.
Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
The MBT Index simplifies the process of finding the right level of MBT shoe for your needs. It ranks MBT into one of three categories, starting at Activate, our least level of rock, and progressing through Dynamic and ending with our highest level of rock, Performance.
MBT is back and better than ever. I have been wearing MBT shoes for some time now and was getting to the point where all their styles started to blend together. However, with the Mahiri, MBT is back!!! The shoe is absolutely gorgeous. The black suede is soft, but does not feel cheap like other suede shoes. The design of the shoe itself is very similar to old school high tops, except these are comfortable and aren't made with cheap plastic. I did have a bit of an issue with my sizing at first, I wear a EU 47 in most MBT, however, the 47 was way too big for me this time around. I had to send them back and switch them out for the 46. Since then I have had no problems with the shoe what so ever. MBT really did some nice work on this shoe, and it is evident in their design. The Mahiri has a contrast colored stitching on the suede that really make the shoe pop. The red accent color along the sole is a welcomed addition as well. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a casual sneaker/boot. Oh and the shoes come with red laces in case you are feeling a little wild.

"I was glad to find a shoe that I have been seeking for a long time. I bought this model last year and am VERY happy with the fit and the stability. However the manufacturer ceased producing this model and all the other stores were sold out. I am glad Footwear persevered offering the few sizes that were left in their inventory."

Can Aspies be polyamorous? Can polyamory aid a person with Asperger's?
1:00 Announcements and host chat
- LustyGuy, L and I did our goal-setting for 2013. Lots of fun with Your Best Year Yet!
- The North Texas Poly Group shares the following new vocab terms:
- CONFRUBBLED: Confused but happy about it. "I don't know whose hands those are, but they are doing a great job!"
- FROXY: The pleasure one gets from working up a metamour in anticipation of your sweetheart doing very bad things to them. Like compersion, but sexy and just a tiny bit mean. The enjoyment one gets from participating in alloerotic narratophilia.
- OUTLAWS: The parents of your socially-illicit life partner. "We went to go have dinner with the outlaws Sunday evening. They love playing with our kids so much, they've nearly adopted the boys as grandbabies already!"
- 5:10 Miss Poly Manners on (defining one's own behavior) versus rules (restricting someone else's behavior) versus agreement (two+ people agree to after discussing boundaries and expectations)
11:05 Topic: Poly and Asperger's
A listener asks: can you be poly with Asperger's? Does it help?
- The Wikipedia definition of Asperger's
- Listener M writes in to share her own experience and a study by sexologist Dr. Amy Marsh, who found in one on-line survey that 25% of autistic responders said they were either poly or switched freely back-and-forth between monogamy and polyamory.
- Another question about autism and poly
- And oh, BTW, Asperger's is no longer an official diagnosis; it's "autism spectrum disorder"
21:00 Happy Poly Moments
- Kit shares a snuggly happy poly moment
- Jamie shares a great story of a frubbly weekend by which a partner got to spend more time with her daughter over the holidays due to their poly relationship
- Bruce shared the simple pleasure of a wine-tasting with his girlfriend and metamour
24:00 Feedback
- A listener calls in to ask about dealing with jealousy when in the "s" part of a D/s relationship. Poly and kink overlap, but not all kinksters make the effort to do poly well. Want your kinky poly relationship to succeed? Read Raven Kaldera's Power Circuits and apply his wisdom!
- What's NRE in Norwegian? Forelsket!
29:25 Thank you
Thanks to Candice for her donation this month!

If memory serves, the Buckeyes win this category every year with the inevitability of the Dowager Countess winning for the best roses at Downton's annual flower show.
It would be easy for that contrarian minority to feel salty about the football Buckeyes claiming the Best Sports Team mantle yet again, but those people obviously hate fun.
They also don't have much of a case this year — you go undefeated, you're the best team in town. (Actually, it means you're the best in the country, but that's another argument for another day.)

Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Red Wine Tomato Relish
Steak sandwiches are an Australian classic, usually enjoyed outdoors or on the beach, followed by a solid game of touch footy! I've brought this one a little up-market by caramelizing the tomatoes with some aromatic red wine – make sure you enjoy the wine with the dish too! For me, it will be the big jammy Mt Langi Ghiran Shiraz!

Major smartphone maker HTC said that there are no fundamental problems with the legal battle against Apple and reassured that the management will not put the firm into a dangerous situation.
"Many lawsuits nowadays are results of being successful, it is part of the business. We will not bring the company to a dangerous position," said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC, in a conference call with financial analysts, reports International Business Times web-site.
The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in a preliminary decision that HTC infringed two of Apple's patents related to a "system and method for performing an action on a structure in computer-generated data" and a "real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data". Some say that other suppliers of smartphones based on Google Android operating system also infringe these patents.
Although the ITC also found in a preliminary decision that Apple Mac OS X infringed two of S3 Graphics patents related to texture compression technology (which could affect sales of Macs and therefore ease negotiations between Apple and HTC), the USPTO (U.S. patent & trademark office) said that the technologies were not patentable.
Earlier this week HTC said that it was willing to negotiate with Apple regarding the patents. Google said it would help its Android partners to fight those, who accuse them of patents infringements.

Memphis Invitational a great success!
The Memphis Figure Roller Skating Club under the leadership of elite Coach Caroline Mirelli hosted the Annual Heart of Memphis Invitational on February 1st, 2nd and 3rd. For the 12th year, skaters traveled to Memphis from as far away as Denver Colorado for 3 days of intense competition.
72 skaters registered for the event and even forecasted freezing rain and ice could not keep them away from East End Skating Center. Coach Caroline provided the largest group with a remarkable 28 skaters. Ten of those skaters have never skated competitively! Six states and nine other skating clubs were represented in a myriad of figure skating events that spanned the three days. Joe Mack of Mesquite Texas acted as meet director and as the announcer. The judges included Sylvia Haffke, Gary Callahan, Verna Quaranto, Micheal Vickey and John Cawly as well as many others who stepped in as needed.Franklin Skate Club under the leadership of Cathy Carmack earned the high point trophy with an incredible 19 gold medals and numerous silver and bronze medals. The other clubs all fared well and it is safe to say that almost all clubs were represented well. Between events, skaters and their families were able to visit Graceland and the incredible Memphis Zoo. The Memphis club thanks everyone for their participation and look forward to many more successful meets.

Category: Wisconsin
Wisconsin Credits
Below is a list of the descriptions of Credits which you may access through our program. These credits are followed by a brief description along with the line you can find them on within the state return.
Armed Forces Member Credit
The armed forces member credit is available to certain members of the U.S. armed forces. You may claim the credit if you meet ALL of the following:
* You were on active duty, and
* You received military pay from the federal government in 2016, and
* The military pay was for services performed while stationed outside the United States.
Note: You may not claim the armed forces member credit if you were on active duty as a member of the Reserves or National Guard and you excluded certain military pay from your income.
The credit is equal to the amount of military pay you received for services performed while stationed outside the United States, but not more than $300. If you are married filing a joint return and both spouses qualify for the credit, each may claim up to $300.
Renter's and Homeowner's School Property Tax Credit
You may claim a credit if you paid rent during 2016 for living quarters used as your primary residence OR you paid property taxes during 2016 on your home. You are eligible for a credit whether or not you claim homestead credit. The total combined credit claimed on lines 22a and 22b may not be more than $300 ($150 if married filing a separate return or married filing as head of household).
Note: You may NOT claim the school property tax credit if you or your spouse are claiming the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit.
You will be required to enter the information below within your Wisconsin state return as it applies to you within the Wisconsin state program.
Rent Paid- Heat Included
Rent Paid –Heat Not included
Property Taxes Paid on Home
For additional information pertaining to the School Property Tax Credit, please click here.
Note: In our program this figure is pulled from your federal return. You will only enter an amount in this section if you would like to adjust the amount being pulled from the federal return.
Homestead Tax Credit
Note: You cannot claim homestead credit if you (or your spouse, if married) claim the veterans and surviving property tax credit or farmland and preservation credit.
The Wisconsin homestead credit program provides direct relief to homeowners and renters. You may qualify if you were:
* At least 18 years old on December 31, 2016
* A Wisconsin resident for all of 2016
* Not claimed as a dependent on anyone's 2016 federal tax return (unless you were 62 or older on December 31, 2016)
* Not living in tax-exempt public housing for all of 2016
* Not living in a nursing home and receiving medical assistance (Title XIX) when you file for homestead credit
* Had total household income, including wages, interest, social security, and income from certain other sources, below $24,680 in 2016.
For additional information on the Homestead Credit, please see the Schedule H instructions.
Itemized Deduction Credit
If the total of certain federal itemized deductions exceeds your Wisconsin standard deduction, you may claim the itemized deduction credit.
If you did not itemize deductions for federal tax purposes, use the amounts which would be deductible if you had itemized deductions.
Exceptions: Even though Schedule 1 has entry lines for medical expenses, interest paid, gifts to charity, and casualty losses, not all of the amounts of these items that are deducted on federal Schedule A can be used for the itemized deduction credit. The following describes the portion of these items that may not be used to calculate the itemized deduction credit.
* Medical Expenses - the amount of medical care insurance and long-term care insurance claimed as a subtraction
* Interest - (i) paid to purchase a second home located outside Wisconsin (ii) paid to purchase a residence which is a boat, or (iii) paid to purchase or hold U.S. government securities, mortgage insurance premiums treated as interest.
* Contributions and interest allocated to you by a tax-option (S) corporation if you treated the amount as a subtraction.
* All casualty and theft losses except casualty losses that are directly related to a federally-declared disaster.
Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State
If you paid tax both to Wisconsin and another state on the same income, you may be able to claim a credit for such tax. Read the Schedule OS instructions to determine if you may claim the credit.
TaxSlayer will automatically calculate this credit for your Resident Wisconsin return if you have a NonResident return created in your account. If you are completing a Part-Year Resident return for the other state, you will be required to enter the information asked within the Wisconsin state program.
**When claiming this credit, Wisconsin requires a copy of the other state tax return. After you have e-filed your state returns and they have been accepted by each state, you will need to print a copy of the other state return and attach it to Wisconsin Form W-RA (included in your Wisconsin printout) and mail it to Wisconsin. Mailing and further instructions can be found directly on Form W-RA. Note: If you fail to mail the other state return, Wisconsin will deny the other state tax credit shown on your Wisconsin return and will adjust your refund or balance due accordingly.
Note: Credit cannot be claimed for taxes paid to Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, or Michigan on personal service income (such as wages, salaries, tips, commissions, bonuses, etc.) you received from working in one of those states. See Publication 121, Reciprocity
Eligible Veterans and Surviving Spouses Property Tax Credit
Who May Claim the Credit An eligible unremarried surviving spouse or an eligible veteran may claim the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit. (Note If you claim the veterans and surviving spouses property tax credit, you or your spouse may not claim the school property tax credit, homestead credit, or farmland preservation credit.)

About the Author: Rose E. Gottemoeller serves as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Verification, Compliance, and Implementation and also served as the head of the U.S. delegation and Chair of the 2010 Review Conference for the Treaty on Open Skies.
Earlier this week, I led the U.S. delegation at the 2010 Review Conference on the Treaty on Open Skies in Vienna, along with Ambassador Ian Kelly and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Celeste Wallander. It was a real honor and pleasure to do so, especially because the United States served as Chair of the Review Conference.
Just what is the Treaty on Open Skies? It's an agreement among countries, ranging from Canada and the United States in the West to Russia in the East that promotes openness and transparency through unarmed aerial surveillance flights conducted by participating states. At this time, 34 countries are party to the Treaty and participate in its implementation. Information from these surveillance flights is gathered and shared among the participants, and this builds confidence and mutual understanding and contributes to European security and stability. Since the Open Skies Treaty entered into force in 2002, more than 670 observation flights have been conducted by participating states.
We are at a critical phase in the Open Skies Treaty as we prepare to implement elements for the "next generation" of the Treaty by, in part, employing 21st Century technology. For example, our delegation went to Vienna to work with our partners to find cost-effective solutions to ensure all Parties can transition from using old-fashioned photographic imaging to using digital sensors.
The Obama Administration has recently launched an interagency study to examine options for digital sensors, future Open Skies aircraft, more shared flights, expanding membership to countries that are part of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) but are not yet party to Open Skies, and applying Open Skies toward emerging challenges and threats. Key to moving forward in these areas is the consensus Final Document that was agreed at the Review Conference. It will be the basis for our work as we look at ways to better share resources and move into the digital future with our foreign partners.
The United States remains firmly committed to the successful implementation of the Treaty on Open Skies, and we continue to encourage all participating countries to keep the spirit of the treaty alive.
As U.S. Vice President Biden said on May 6 regarding advancing Europe's security, "First, we need to work together to broaden our commitments to reciprocal transparency about all our military forces, including both conventional and nuclear forces, and other defense assets in Europe, including missile defenses." The Open Skies Treaty is one of our most successful and valuable regimes to fulfill this task.
The United States is working hard to strengthen and broaden European cooperation and security, and the Treaty on Open Skies will continue to play a critical role in these efforts. The Review Conference offered an important opportunity to focus on strengthening this regime. Now, it is up to all of us to keep up the momentum.

"Fire Brick lined "Floor" Cooking Surface with anti brick movement rails unlike other ovens on the market our fire bricks dont move as much as the other ovens to keep your cooking surface smooth!"
From their website: Smooth except for the two metal rails running down the middle of the oven. What the heck are they thinking? I wouldn't touch that oven with a 10 foot peel.They should get someone to proofread their website. I hope the attention to detail on their ovens is better...

Samsung releases super-high-capacity 8GB DRAM
Samsung today announced a new 8GB DRAM package with 10-nanometer-class process circuitry that has twice the capacity and twice the speed of DDR4 DRAM used in PCs.
Samsung today announced a new 8GB DRAM package with 10-nanometer-class process circuitry that has twice the capacity and twice the speed of DDR4 DRAM used in PCs.
Dell Inc. announced on Tuesday a new PC that, among its other impressive specs, can be upgraded to sport as much as 192GB of ultra-fast DDR3 RAM.
Embattled German DRAM maker Qimonda will cease chip production by the end of March as it continues to seek ways to avoid liquidation.
DDR3 is the new memory standard for desktop PCs and it's currently supported by Intel's new P35 chipset for Intel CPUs. Kingston's 2GB HyperX DDR3 kit (KHX11000D3LLK2/2G) is aimed at enthusiast users.
Whatever you're doing on your PC, its taking up valuable space in your system's memory.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

NRG project gets a jolt
A decision last week by the state Public Service Commission regarding NRG Energy Inc. was some welcome and positive news for our beleaguered region.
On Thursday, the commission directed National Grid to work with NRG to evaluate repowering the plant, which is currently running at one-third of its capacity. In its ruling, the commission noted the closing of the Dunkirk facility and another plant in Cayuga County could "cause reliability concerns" for electricity.
At stake for the city and region is a potential $700 million private investment by NRG to upgrade the plant from being coal-fired to one that produces electricity using natural gas.
Think of the economic activity that could bring to this region. "We're pleased to see the PSC directive and we believe that the Dunkirk repowering project offers a host of benefits to New York – in-state jobs, stability for the power grid, affordable electricity for ratepayers, and economic benefits that power plants like NRG's Dunkirk station provide both locally and statewide," said David Gaier, spokesman for NRG's East Region.
Our economy took a big hit three weeks ago when 375 job layoffs were announced in Silver Creek and Dunkirk. A repowering project of the city facility would not fix those woes, but it would spur plenty of activity and outside dollars.

When it comes to capturing the essence of a sexy and messy formal hairdo Emad Joe sure knows how to do just that! What is amazing about this hairstyle is the way the hair looks so natural and flows in such a nice voluminous way and still looks elegant. To add to this already cool and creative formal hairstyle it is pinned down with a beautiful rustic hair pin which really works well with this medieval look.

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Back to School, Teacher Tips and Strategies
Creative School Year Themes
- Grades: 3–5
One of the most important goals for me as a teacher is to build community in my classroom. Making my diverse students feel like a united group of individuals who care for each other and work together is what I strive for as each new school year begins. I also work hard to make my classroom a place where learning is fun and where students feel excited to be each day. Implementing a class theme each year is the perfect way for me to combine these two important goals.
My year-long themes create a sense of unity as soon as students enter the door. Depending on the theme, students are immediately part of a team (sports theme or racing theme), a crew (space theme or nautical theme), or even a band (rock 'n' roll theme). Whatever the theme may be, all students are an important part of the classroom community, and the theme itself determines our class identity for the school year.
The theme also determines how I decorate my classroom and hallway, and the names I designate for certain activities in the classroom, as well as the title of my weekly newsletter, the money in our classroom economy, and group names for word study centers.
The theme does not determine what I teach academically. I still follow the same units of study in each subject every year regardless of the theme. My themes are simply a creative way to make my classroom come alive and make my students feel excited to be part of a shared experience during the school year.
During this theme, my class was called "Team Newingham." Students were sports stars who graced the covers of Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine and displayed their student numbers on jerseys they made for an open house. Students also created sports trading cards to reveal information about themselves, and many books were read aloud that promoted teamwork. Our class newsletter was called the "Team Newingham Tribune."
View more pictures & info about the sports theme.
Space Theme
During this theme, our class was transformed into Planet 13. The students were part of a crew who posed as astronauts for NASA posters that were created at the beginning of the year for a display in the hallway. Our class newsletter was titled the "Planet 13 Press," and our class money was called "Cosmic Cash." Student groups who rotated through word study centers were given planet names, and our daily math review before math workshop was known as "Martian Math." The student who led the lesson each day was known as the "Martian Mathematician."
View more pictures and information about the space theme.
Racing Theme
During this theme, my class was also referred to as "Team Newingham," but this time we were a racing team. Students were all part of the pit crew when it came to classroom jobs, and the "Star of the Week" became known as the "Driver of the Week." Students wore race car driver outfits for their first day picture so that race car driver posters could be made for a display in our hallway. I even turned the front of my desk into the front of a race car. Our end of the year video celebration was known as the "Team Newingham Grand Prix."
View more pictures and information about the racing theme.
Rock 'n' Roll Theme
During this theme, our classroom was known as "Rockin' Room 13." The students were rock stars who were featured as "Newingham Idols" on posters that were displayed outside our classroom. Class jobs were referred to as "Rockin' Responsibilities," and our video celebration at the end of the year was called "Our Greatest Hits."

Hi Beth!
I love all of your ideas! Last year I used your files to create Rock Star photos like you have on your site. I went to it last week but can't seem to get there today. It keeps saying invalid path anytime I click on your "troy" links?
Do you have any idea why?
Hillary Beemer
I tried to download the template for the baseball card. I have winzip on the computer, but the file still seems to have a problem when trying to open it. Do you have a mac computer and it doesn't work on regular pc's?
I have found your ideas to be amazing. I am a little frustrated as I would love to be able to print out theme ideas but i have a mac computer and cannot find printshop 3.0 for my mac!...any suggestions
Perhaps a "how-to" post about creating signs in Print Shop is something I will do next year! Thanks for the suggestion!
Would you ever consider (in the coming school year) posting a how-to blog about how you make all the wonderful signs and posters that are in your room using Printshop?
Unfortunately I do not have a special way of printing out cards or posters without using a lot of ink. While we do have a color ink budget at our school, I also end up going through too many color ink cartidges on my home computer each year!
Have fun at the Oceans movie this week. Our school is going too!
Do you have any special way in which you print out the posters and cards? Seems like that would use a lot of ink/toner on a computer color printer. I'm looking at making some of the cards as souvenirs for our trip to see the Disney movie Oceans this week.
I have about 5 solid year-long themes now, so it is about time for me to start recycling them in years to come! I am so excited that you are enjoying the teamwork theme. I absolutely love your idea about using the concept of "clubhouse" and "major league" as a reading incentive. I will certainly have to remember that when I use the theme again!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Beth, for sharing your amazing ideas. I am using the Teamwork theme in my 3rd grade classroom this year. The students love the baseball cards which I've tied into a reading incentive program. All students started out in the clubhouse, but they're reading books and completing book reports to make it to the minor league and, ultimately, the major league. Your ideas are so inspiring! Thank you!
The racing theme was definitely a favorite one for my me and students! I used Print Shop to make the decoration for the front of my desk. I just found clipart of the front of a race car and then printed it on multiple sheets of paper.
When you choose print (in the Print Shop program) and the print dialog box comes up, there is a button labeled "Output Size." If you click on that button, you can choose to print 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, etc. You can also choose a percentage if you want to increase or decrease the size of your poster to a specific proportion. Of course after the pages are printed, you must glue them all together to create the final poster.
I love these theme ideas. The proof is in the smiles of the children. How did you make the front of your desk a racecar?? Cardboard? Sounds like fun!!
Naomi White Randolph K Teacher
I agree that the theme topics are engaging. We always do some thematic lessons at the beginning of the year when we are launching a theme. However, our required curriculum is so jam-packed that I do not have tons of time to venture out and do separate units to compliment my themes.
Some of the themes we have picked in the past are already part of our curriculum. The solar system is part of the 3rd grade curriculum in our district, so the Planet 13 theme worked well. The Team theme is always great because made sure to we read lots of books with teamwork as the theme. The Racing and Hollywood themes lend themselves less to academic tie-ins.
Our theme for this year is Pier 13. As cool as it would be do an entire unit on Ocean Life or something of that sort, there is just too little time. However, during my nonfiction unit when I am teaching students about text features and different text structure, I will likely choose texts that highlight marine-life. I will also be sure to use theme-related texts in guided reading when possible, but a whole unit devoted to a theme topic is nearly impossible to fit into our curriculum.
Thanks for the great question! -Beth
Do you do any studying of the themes during year? The topics are so rich as well as well thought out. The depth of the themes throughout the room are a strong engagement for learning. Pat Gill
Unfortunately, I don't have the biopoems saved on my computer. I did that theme quite a few years ago. My students actually typed the poems in our computer lab and saved them in their personal folders at the time. However, they are pretty simple to create. Just insert clipart into a project, and then insert a text box on top of it. The key is to make sure students use a font color that stands out from the colors in the chosen the clipart.
Good luck with the team theme. It is a fun one!
I am using your team theme this year and would love to use the biopoems along with the Sports Illustrated covers. How did you create the templates for the biopoems? Would you be willing to share your templates?
Thanks for visiting our blog. I hope you will enjoy the many new ideas we plan to add to the blog this year!
I removed the link to the Excel file of my classroom library books because it was getting so out of date. I now use an Intelliscanner and Media Collector software to keep track of my books and have used it now for a few years. Here is a link to more information about the Intelliscanner product and software: http://www.intelliscanner.com/products/media/
Thanks for visting my blog!
I really love everything that Beth has to offer. I have had the pleasure to meet her in person and she is so inspirational! I'm sure Angela shares Beth's enthusiasm and vision for creating wonderful learning environments. I will continue to visit the blog to get ideas for this school year.
I was wondering if i could access her excel file for her library? it used to be able to be downloaded but it isn't anymore.. I love her!
Although we do plan to start an FAQ section soon, I know it is sometimes hard to wait! I use Print Shop version 23 to create the posters and/or artwork. If you click on the links underneath each theme in the post, you can download the poster files and then be able to insert your own pictures and/or headlines. Enjoy!
Hi Kim,
We're excited, too. Agreed, we get inspired by Beth all the time. Stay tuned for the Teaching Matters Resource Center -- should see it at the end of this month.
Thanks, Amy
I am so glad to see that Beth has returned. She is truly an inspiration to all teachers!
Hi Eric,
So glad you're inspired by Beth's theme idea. We're hard at work on a Resource Center for Teaching Matters that will include what programs and resources Beth uses in her classroom. Stay tuned! We're hoping to present it by the end of the month.
What a great idea! Thanks for this theme idea! This helps to unify students in a team mentality to work together. What program did you use to make the artwork/backgrounds?

Topic: HOWTO: Adding search to your rails application
Sticky:: Please read the post below. I think you will find the next method even simpler.
This is a short guide on adding search to your Rails models.
For this tutorial, I'm using a model called Product and product has the following attributes: name, description, price. If you're new to rails, what this means is that you have a database table called products, and this table has the columns name, description and price (including id of course).
Now, the first thing to do is to install the ferret gem. Without this, this tutorial is moot. Open a command prompt and type:
gem install ferret
Next, you will need to download the simple_search plugin for rails. The svn repositry is located at:
http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/r le_search/
So you can get it through Subversion using the command
svn co http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/r ple_search
If you don't have Subversion you can download it from http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html. After you download simple_search, place it in the vendor/plugins directory of your rails application.
Now go to app/models and open product.rb (i.e the file for your Product model or whichever model you are using). Your model should look something like this:
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
indexes_columns :title, :description, :into=>'idx'
before_save :make_index
before_update :make_index
def make_index
self.idx = self.index_repr
Now there is a bit of explaining to do here. In addition to all the other columns Product has, you should also add another one called idx which has the type "TEXT" in your SQL database. This means that the columns for product should be id, name, description, price and idx (which is a TEXT column). idx contains the searchable terms for your product. You will notice the line at the top which reads "indexes_columns :title, :description, :into => 'idx' ". Well simple_search simply takes the value of these columns and creates a searchable index which it puts into the idx column. I could well have said "indexes_columns :title, :description, :price :into => 'idx' " which will also include the price as part of our index.
I've added some filters to the product model. Before a product is saved or updated, the idx value is first determined using the 'make_index' method. This saves you the trouble of doing this in your controller each time you save or update your product.
And that is pretty much it. You can fire up script/console with "ruby script/console" for your application.
Create a new product with
Product.create(:name => 'ninja_turtle', :description => 'It barks and eats your mother', :price => 20)
Then you can now type Product.find_using_term("ninja") and your recently created product should turn up. Use find_using_term to return any products that match your given term.

2010 U.S. Paralympic Wheelchair Curling Team Tryouts Begin Friday
STEVENS POINT, Wis. - Ten athletes are competing for spots on Team USA for the 2009 World Wheelchair Championship as well as to be nominated to the 2010 U.S. Paralympic Team.
The five-person wheelchair curling team will be selected after individual competitions with the first of three events beginning Friday at the Utica Curling Club in Whitesboro, N.Y. Drills will be administered in order to evaluate game skills and strategy as well as game participation. The tryouts continue at the Fourth Annual Cathy Kerr Memorial Bonspiel on Nov. 29 in Ottawa and conclude at the Second Annual U.S. Open International Bonspiel, Dec. 5-7, in Utica.
Wheelchair curling is in its infancy in the United States. Only 15 athletes competed for the right to represent the U.S. at the 2008 World Wheelchair Curling Championship. A curling team consists of five players, and must include both genders in the wheelchair discipline. Because of the small number of athletes at present, and to maximize the chance for success in Vancouver, the U.S. Curling Association will select its 2010 U.S. Paralympic Team nominees from individual wheelchair curlers.
Here is a look at the field of competing athletes:
* John Powell, 60, Balch Spring, Texas
* James Pierce, 45, North Syracuse, N.Y. Pierce competed at the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games as well as three world wheelchair championships (2008, bronze; 2007 and 2005)
* Julia Dorsett, 40, West Chester, Penn.
* Robert Prenoveau, 43, Chittenango, N.Y. Has been the alternate at two world wheelchair championships (2008, bronze, and 2005)
* Jacqueline Kapinowski, 45, Point Pleasant, N.J. In her first year of curling, Kapinowski made Team USA and won bronze at the 2008 World Wheelchair Championship.
* Tammy Delano, 35, Rome, N.Y.
* Augusto Perez, 36, East Syracuse, N.Y. USA Curling's 2008 Male Athlete of the Year, Perez competed at the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games as well as the two world wheelchair championships (2008, bronze, and 2007)
* Roy Heathcoat, 43, Franklin, Wis.
* James Joseph, 46, New Hartford, N.Y. Joseph competed at the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games as well as three world wheelchair championships (2008, bronze; 2007 and 2005)
* Patrick McDonald, 42, Orangevale, Calif.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, I was a student pilot hoping to take my checkride within a few weeks. I got up early that morning because I had booked an airplane for solo work. Looking out the window, I could see the clear blue sky and felt a sense of deep satisfaction. The weather was not going to get in the way of my flying.
I turned on the news as I got ready to leave, only to see one of the jets plunge into the twin towers. Shocked, my husband and I stood in front of the television set and watched the horror unfold.
Much of that day is now a blur. I drove to the airport, not realizing that the FAA had shut down the entire National Airspace System when the attacks began. When it became apparent that no flying was taking place, I headed to AOPA headquarters. My colleagues were clustered around the television in the conference room; or they were sprinting down the hallways calling out updates; or they were on the telephones with our members, giving out the latest and most accurate information they had.
In the days and weeks that followed, our nation grieved, raged, and slowly began to heal. I had to look at my logbook to be sure, because my memory is that I stayed on the ground for a very long time following Sept. 11 because the FAA opened back up the airspace in phases–commercial first, private last. But apparently it was just a short two weeks before I had another dual lesson, and by Oct. 2 I was flying solo again. I took my checkride on Nov. 8, 2001.
Did Sept. 11 change everything? For pilots in my neighborhood, it did. The FAA created a huge air defense identification zone around the Baltimore-Washington airports that effectively did away with business as usual. For VFR pilots, getting a clearance into the Class B became almost impossible. The ADIZ was added to sectional and terminal charts in 2004. In 2007, it was altered in size and shape, going from a bulbous Mickey-Mouse-shaped expanse to a 30-nautical-mile circle centered on the DCA VOR-DME. That helped things, but only just a bit. The "temporary" flight restriction became permanent in 2008, and gained a new name: The Baltimore-Washington Special Flight Rules Area, or SFRA. (At least you could spit out "Ay-Diz" and make it sound like a bad word; "Es-Ef-Ar-A" just sounds stilted.)
You can get around the SFRA as a VFR pilot, so long as you file a special flight plan, enter and exit through a series of "gates," remain in contact with ATC, squawk a special transponder code, and for God's sake don't stray off your magenta line. And you must remain clear of Class B. For practical purposes, that means you fly below 2,500 feet msl on some stretches.
It could be worse–much worse. We might not be flying at all.
I think back to Sept. 11 often. I didn't know anybody who died in the collapse of the twin towers or any of the rescue personnel who died to save them. I didn't know anybody aboard the aircraft that crashed into the Pentagon, the towers, or the field in Shanksville, Penn. In that sense, I was relatively unscathed.
But a little bit of the joy of flying was taken away on that day, and I'm still working to get it back. I want to not to feel my palms perspire as I navigate through the SFRA and worry that I might stray too far off my magenta line. I want to stop feeling sick to my stomach when I hear fighter jets rumbling around the skies when P-40 is expanded. I want to erase the memory of my then-6-year-old daughter asking if Frederick was going to be attacked by the terrorists because we have a U.S. Army facility (Fort Detrick).
I just want things to be the way they were.

It took three weeks of industrial fans and dehumidifiers going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to dry out the damaged floors and walls.
Dear Taco,
Unknowingly, our hot water heater had been leaking for a few months. Over time the leak became a whirlpool of water, damaging our floors and walls. Under the carpet was linoleum. The linoleum had to be tested for asbestos. The results came back positive. Our home had to be quarantined off while the contractors tore out the linoleum. We couldn't enter the house until the "air quality" tests came back "safe."
It took three weeks of industrial fans and dehumidifiers going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to dry out the damaged floors and walls. Everything in the living area had to be removed in order for the contractor to repair the damage, this included the water heater being "out of order" for four days. It was a total of four weeks until our house got "put back together."
Had I know about the WAGS VALVE we could have been spared of inconveniences. THANK YOU for introducing us to such an exceptional product. It's a feeling of comfort knowing that we will never have to experience this again.

Coming Home to Standing Water
Dear Taco,
When I learned of your WAGS valve product I knew I had to have it installed for my peace of mind, as you'll learn from my story below.
While I was out of town overnight on business I retrieved a message off my office voice mail system called in by my home security company. They said a neighbor had reported driving by and seeing water flowing out between the brick line and the floor foundation. I then called my neighbor and learned he had turned off the water supply to the house once this was discovered and called the service company.
I arrived back at my home that day to find water standing on the floor and soaked in the carpet throughout my 2300 square foot one story house. Walking through my home it wasn't long before I discovered the flooding source. The ceiling in the guest bathroom had crashed in from the water heater above the attic. For some reason the tank had cracked or rusted out causing a continuous flow of water since the water line does not shut off.
(Surprisingly, I had previously had the heater checked 3 months earlier by a local plumbing company. The plumbing company. The plumbing company came out and ran a through inspection check of the heater for any problems and flushed the tank to clean out any material and reported no problems.)
As you can imagine the water flow coming out of the heater tank was not a "leak" but a full force flow similar to the amount you might see out of your bathtub faucet turned wide open. This flow level was too great to be contained and drained by the drip pan under the heater.
I had to have a reclamation company, provided by the insurance company, remove furniture, pull up all the carpet and remove the soaked foam padding and finally set up fans to blow air throughout the house. It took a full 3 days after the carpet was ripped out before I could finally get the insurance adjuster out. This then began the long inconvenient process of getting a crew to remove the old heater, install a new heater, begin repairs on the ceiling, walls, baseboard trim and install new carpet. The whole process from flooding to final installation of new carpet took about 5 weeks to gather all the different shill repairmen involved.
Prior to learning about your WAGS valve I had been contemplating a way to move the water heater from the attic to avoid another catastrophe. Plus I felt this would be essential as a selling point for any home buyer if I ever needed to move. I was extremely happy to learn about your new product and leaped without hesitation to get a WAGS valve installed, because once you've been flooded by this type of mishap it becomes an uneasiness and concern especially when you're away from home.
Sincerely yours,
P.S. The busted heater was a (Name deleted) installed in February 1993. It ruptured in January 1999. My insurance claim came to a payment of $4,288.94 after depreciation and deductible. Total repairs exceeded $5,400.
All the home in my neighborhood are built with the water heaters in the attic and I bet several neighbors would be interested in your product especially after witnessing my fiasco.
One More Homeowner Who Won't be Without a WAGS
"What a nightmare," says Jeff Southworth, when he talks about what could have happened to his basement family room if WAGS had not been on the job.
Shortly after Southworth, his wife and three children returned to their ranch-style house in Pawtucket, RI, on the Saturday before Mother's Day, his wife discovered water on the floor of the laundry room that adjoins the family room.
"Earlier in the week, the pressure relief valve on my water heater had blown off some water and was trickling. I know that every once in a while one of those valves will pop and get stuck so that it can't reset," he says. Southworth "fixed" the problem by giving the valve "a light tap with a hammer," as a friend advised, he explains. But that Saturday, the pressure relief valve failed again and began dumping water through the overflow pipe.
The water first ran into a bucket that Southworth says, "I have always kept there, for whatever reason, just in case the pressure relief valve blew off water, it wouldn't go on the floor.
The bucket was wedged into a tight space and didn't sit level. The water soon filled the bucket, which fortunately was tilted toward the drip pan under the heater. It could just as easily have been tilted away, Southworth says. As water collected in the pan, WAGS did what it was designed to do-shut off the water and gas supply and stop the leak.
"I lucked out," he says. In a big way, as it turns out.
Only months before, Southworth had finished the family room with plaster walls and new carpeting. It was filled with new furniture, electronics, computers. "We live down there," he adds. "Three-quarters of my basement is finished. In the rest are the washer and dryer, the hot water heater, an extra freezer, my boiler and some extra storage," he explains. Add it all together and water damage could easily have run into tens of thousands of dollars.
Also, just months previously Southworth had a new, 50-gal, gas-fired water heater installed to increase his home's hot water capacity. A friend told him how frequently water heaters fail and about the flooding and damage they can cause, then gave him a WAGS valve for the new heater.
Southworth had a pro install the valve for him The plumber wasn't familiar with WAGS, Southworth recalls, and wasn't convinced of its value. He objected to the fact that WAGS can't be reset and must be replaced after it's been triggered.
"In hindsight, I probably thought a little bit that way, too," Southworth says. "Looking back on it and having had the problem, I think for the peace of mind I have now it is well worth the money."
His experience convinced Southworth of what we've said all along. Considering the financial and emotional disaster a flooded basement can be, every water heater you install should have a WAGS valve.
"I'm going out and buy my Dad a WAGS because he has a finished basement, too," Southworth says. "And I've taken a bunch of pamphlets to work and have been passing them out like crazy, telling people they are nuts not to have one of these."
He adds, "I will absolutely have a WAGS valve on all my water heaters."

Four years ago, in the Czech capital of Prague, President Barack Obama addressed the future of nuclear weapons. Speaking to a crowd of thousands at Hradcany Square, he outlined his vision for the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. The Prague Agenda includes reducing arsenals, stopping proliferation, securing nuclear materials, and encouraging the development of safe nuclear energy. Because of the importance of these issues to the security and sustainability of our world, President Obama stated that "this generation -- our generation -- cannot stand still."
Future generations of scientists, diplomats, and citizens will have to carry the torch on these technical, complex, and global issues. Fortunately, young leaders in the United States and around the world are ready to embrace these discussions head-on and tackle these challenges now.
On July 16-17, 2013, the Department of State, in partnership with The George Washington University, proudly hosted its fourth annual Generation Prague Conference, with the theme of "Building a Strategy of Peace." This theme celebrates the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's commencement address at American University calling on a generation to be "confident and unafraid" in seeking such a strategy -- and launching the diplomatic initiative that in just a few months would produce a Limited Test Ban Treaty.
This year's conference featured a variety of speakers drawn from the federal government, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and international partners. The first day of the conference, hosted at the George C. Marshall Center of the Department of State, included addresses on the implementation of the Prague Agenda by senior officials of the Departments of State and Defense, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and the U.S. Institute of Peace. U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz and Acting Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Rose Gottemoeller delivered the keynote addresses at the conference.
The second day of the conference, hosted at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs, included a variety of panels on nuclear security matters. Representatives from the Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Argentina gave international perspectives on nonproliferation while panelists from the Departments of State and Energy, the National Security Council, the Federation of American Scientists, and the Partnership for a Secure America spoke on international law, energy, and counter-proliferation. This year's conference aimed to demystify the complex issues at the core of the Prague Agenda and engage young thinkers in the most cutting-edge policy discussions of the 21st Century.
The Department of State is proud to place this future "Generation Prague" at the forefront of understanding and action on the issues of nuclear arms control, security, energy, and nonproliferation. They are ready to discuss; they are ready to lead.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
A. heminuchalis is a small sized species, less than 40mm DML, found in the tropical Pacific. It is very similar to A. siedleckyi from off South Africa and may prove to be a junior synonym of the latter. It is characterized by its proportionally short, robust mantle and a photophore arrangement on the ventral head and mantle in which large photophores have a space surrounding each organ.
Brief diagnosis:
An Abralia (Heterabralia) with ...
- anterior ocular photophore comparable in size to largest of 3 medial ocular photophores but much smaller than posterior ocular photophore.
- irregular photophore series on mid-region of arms IV.

text: This might interest some of you. Over at Devil's Island I have a thread on which I post good pictures of examples of clothing from early (ish) days in Australia. The best pictures are actually Sydney police mugshots from the 1920s. Its easy enough to find pictures of the ascendancy and well off as this is the most recorded. I'm interested in what the well dressed street wear of the ordinary men was.

Posted on 06/08/2009 4:54:02 PM PDT by Zakeet
Michelle Obama waits backstage before a ceremony marking the re-opening of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's New American Wing in New York. That's Big Apple Mayor Mike Bloomberg on the right.
(Excerpt) Read more at time.com ...
"...and then it flew straight up the Hudson."
"Taxes are for the little people."
Is it me, or does she have some sort of horn thing going on above her eyebrows?
"Let's get this show on the road - I have to be back in the crypt before the sun comes up"!
Bloomberg looks like he's afraid she'll start breathing fire. LOL!
You are sooooo correct!!!
Haha and they think we really care about them.
Now that's golden! Don't know if you took if from somewhere else, but it's new to me!
Voodoo priestess. Can't see it on the pic, but there's a smoldering pile of chicken feathers at her feet.
"We really pulled a good one on the American people thanks to ACORN, Middle East money, and voter fraud."
I was thinking of another Disney character, Maleficent.
Exactly who came to my mind there is another Cruella picture where she laughs and stands exactly like mrs smelly one
Those TEETH! They look sharpened to points.
Well I just think that's an insult to Aunt Esther. Aunt Esther, although a thorn in the side of Redd Foxx, was a God fearing woman. Unlike the zeros, she didn't hate anybody.
Maleficent could work, but seeing pictures at your link reminds me that she is very graceful, if evil, which doesn't fit MO. Cruella is clumsily and evil.
Oh no,not Gorilla Cookies again.
I believe that among Klingons, baring of teeth is a challenge or warning. Don't be fooled, that's predatory instinct, not a smile.
Same smile!
You have to admit, there is an uncanny resemblance.
omg yes your right lol I remember those commercials and that deep voice.
With those teeth, no wonder Obama turned to Larry Sinclair.
Cruella and Michelle have the same mouth.
Reminds me of Jackie O (who I never found that attractige) and Laura Bush ( who I did) /s.
I have to laugh because I'm so Damn Ugly !
"I vant to trink yo bloodt"
Look, Really I don't have any nose hair!
