Taxes in the Cloud
As more computing, storage and service operations move to "the cloud," what tax issues arise?
May 27, 2010
Approaches to deploying computing power are moving from the acquisition and self-management model to the subscription model in which we have access to the latest tools and expert third-party managers. This new approach — still evolving in its capabilities and offerings — is often referred to as "cloud computing" and "Software as a Service" (SaaS). Cloud computing and SaaS offer many information technology (IT) management benefits while challenging existing tax rules. The cloud model lets CPAs access software, content such as educational materials and movies, services and storage in a manner where location — an important concept in taxation, is not important. Companies that create and enable the cloud are likely to call their "product" services, while tax agencies may attach a different label.
This article provides a brief overview to new IT approaches and explains the nature of the tax issues that arise. Sales tax is the focal point and a sampling of the limited guidance is covered.
The Cloud
Think of the cloud as servers operated and maintained by a third-party that you access via the Internet. These servers can store data, movies, website, blogs and more. The servers can host software that can be accessed and used from your own computer. With this arrangement, you no longer have to worry about software installation and maintenance and might not need as much computing power or storage on your own computers (or handheld devices). You can access the cloud from any Internet-connected device. Internal IT costs should go down and performance capabilities should improve.
These concepts and practices are not new. If you access bank records via the Internet or have e-mail or a blog stored on a provider's server, you've been in the "cloud." What is new is that more products and services are moving to the cloud. For example, in May 2010, Microsoft announced that its key software products would be available for online use (Reuters, "Microsoft Launches New Office, Duels Google Online," May 12, 2010).
Despite the touted IT efficiencies, there are concerns. Businesses, as well as tax and legal advisers subject to confidentiality rules, have concerns about security and privacy and the level of trust to place in a cloud vendor.
Sales Tax Issues
The information age and its digital products have challenged the historic application of sales tax to tangible personal property. Sales tax questions that arise for software, even without the cloud, include the following:
Cloud Rulings
Use of software: A few states have issued rulings on the sales tax treatment of cloud computing involving the use of software, data and storage. Generally, states that already tax prewritten software regardless of how acquired (on tangible media or electronically) are likely to reach a similar result for software accessed while stored on a third-party's server. Rulings of two such states are summarized below. States that do not treat the electronic delivery of software as taxable may view software programs in the cloud as nontaxable (for example, Missouri Letter Ruling 5753 (July 16, 2009)).
Louisiana Revenue Ruling No. 10-001 (PDF) (2010) relies heavily on South Central Bell, supra, in analyzing the tax treatment of software and stored data on servers located both in- and out-of-state. The Department of Revenue (DOR) explains that viewing the electronically delivered property on a computer screen in Louisiana makes it tangible as it is perceptible by sight and sound. It is enough that the product might be stored, used interactively on the computer or viewed, even if only momentarily, to have a taxable transaction.
New York ruling TSB-A-09(33)S (PDF) (August 2009), involved customer use of prewritten software on the vendor's server located outside of New York. The Department of Taxation and Finance addressed the nature of the transaction in terms of whether the software was taxable and whether there was a "sale" as defined under New York law. New York sales tax law treats prewritten software as tangible personal property. In addition, "sale" can include the right to use. The Department concluded that the location of the software code was not important because it could be used by the customer even though not received on tangible media or via download. In addition, accessing the software enabled constructive possession. Finally, the vendor's "service" label was not controlling.
Services vs. use of software: Some rulings seem to struggle with identifying the true nature of the transaction; for example, is it:
A few rulings in New York involved online education provided via use of the vendor's software platform. In TSB-A-06(5)S (PDF) (February 2, 2006), learning was viewed as the primary objective of Internet-based instruction rather than sale of software. Thus, sales tax was not owed. In contrast, in TSB-A-09(2)S (PDF) January 21, 2009), access to online learning via the provider's "highly interactive" software was found to be taxable and sourced to where the software was used. Similarly, see TSB-A-09(3)S (PDF) (January 29, 2009). The Department reconciled the 2006 ruling by noting that there, the service "included, at no extra charge, significant non-automated academic support."
Sourcing: After finding that accessing software and other materials on third-party servers was taxable, the Louisiana DOR noted another challenging issue — situs (or sourcing), which it described as "a quagmire of points incapable of being administered for taxation purposes." However, the DOR resolved the quagmire by deferring to prior legislative action on a similar issue for communication services. The DOR ruled that situs for downloaded content and software licenses was the customer's place of primary use. (Revenue Ruling No. 10-001 (PDF))
In New York ruling TSB-A-09(33)S (PDF), the situs of the software use was held to be the location in which employees used the software. If the software was used by employees in and of New York, the receipts attributable to employee users in New York were taxable.
The Streamlined Sales & Use Tax Agreement (PDF) (SSUTA; September 30, 2009) provides sourcing rules intended to apply to products whether in the form of "tangible personal property, a digital good or a service" (§309 and §310). These rules provide a sequence of scenarios on how a product is received to determine its source. The first possible sourcing point is the seller's business location if the product was received there. If not, the sale is sourced to the location where received by the buyer. (See §312 for the balance of the sourcing sequence.)
SSUTA §311 defines "receipt" as the first to occur of the following: "A. Taking possession of tangible personal property, B. Making first use of services or C. Taking possession or making first use of digital goods." SSUTA §312 on multiple points of use was repealed in 2006. Clarification on the application of the rules to various cloud computing products and arrangements would be helpful. (Note: New York and Louisiana have not adopted the SSUTA.)
Additional Tax Issues
In addition to issues noted above, providers and users of cloud computing may face tax issues such as the following:
In addition to tax issues, the cloud likely also has opportunities for tax compliance and administration. For example, storage and dissemination of tax data for taxpayers, tax agencies and between the two groups might be improved. In addition, the cloud might enable lower cost solutions to tax compliance.
Looking Forward
Cloud computing will likely grow as service providers offer even more services and attract larger size customers. In a New York Times article, Jeff Bezos predicts that someday Amazon's revenues from cloud computing will match those of its retail operations (April 18, 2010).
While limited state tax guidance exists, tax advisers will be challenged to determine taxability and location for many cloud transactions. Contract terms, the true object, the location of the parties and property must be carefully reviewed along with state tax rules to determine if any cloud computing charges are subject to sales and other taxes in any states.
Guidance will likely be slow to materialize as tax agencies continue to understand the nature of the transactions and legislators determine whether law changes are needed. If states continue to broaden their sales-tax base to include digital items and more services, the taxability of many cloud-computing transactions will diminish, although sourcing issues would remain. Time will tell if Congress steps in to help resolve that issue in a uniform manner as it did earlier via the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act (P.L. 106-252; July 28, 2000). In addition, states may create new sales-tax exemptions if existing rules seem too broad when applied to the cloud, such as causing online education to be taxable. Stay tuned.

Is checkering on the front strap of a Kimber 1911 a good thing or a bad thing, IYO ?
Would you rather have a pistol with the front strap checkered or not and why ?
IMO, it looks good and it's functional. So +2 from me. If you really like it, I recommend buying a gun that already has it rather than add it later. It's expensive to have done.
It has been my experience that checkered or stippled front- and back-straps are extremely good ideas. I also believe that smooth grip panels (at the sides) aid in the quick-reload manipulation of a 1911, since the pistol has to swivel in the hand a little, to allow contact with the magazine release.
+1, what Steve said!
+1 Steve M1911A1
I like mine checkered front & back.
I also like checkering on the front of my trigger guard.
I like checkering on a 1911 - to me, it kinda denotes the higher end 1911s to the cheaper ones - call me a gun snob.
That being said - I sorta prefer serrations to checkering. I think it gives me a better grip.
I also prefer rubber pachmeyer grips, or at least rubber grip panels.
I have two 1911s with front strap texturing (checkering on 1, and chainlink on the other). I still prefer the wrap around pachmeyers.... So, admittedly, they cover the texturing on the front strap...
I'm old
I don't like checkering ANYWHERE on my guns.
I've never had a problem with gripping a smooth gun.
Install a set of pach rubber combat grips on your pistol & then fa-git-about-it--have been loving mine since the 1970's & have never had gripping issues with their products. For my python & model 29 smith, i prefer the hogue brand grips.
Atta-boy-----now you talking-----when your hands get damp, the rubber grips will not slip. You will be amazed at the difference in the shooting comfort. Jim hoag & frank pachmyar are the fellows we shooters can thank for designing these marvelous products almost 40 years ago.

1. Can drizzling with oxalic acid bring down a 12 % mite infestation?
2. Should there be little or no brood when I drizzle?
3. Is drizzling with oxalic acid more harmful than treating with formic acid?

Do you think that the cats are the women's best friends?I think that the cats are the women's best friends. My wife never liked any type of pet in the past, as she thought they were useless and dumb. But, recently she bought 3 cats and she now loves them. This change in her mind happened after reading the online article: the glory of the cat – adidarwinian She is now a fan of the cats, adores them, and cats are her best friends. Do you think that cats are the women's best friends?
I surely don't think so, though I have seen a lot of women taking cats as pets but I can't judge anything based on that.
Yeah every Women's love their cats and Men's love Dogs more. Pets are trustworthy than people's
I'm not sure about it but, most of women love their cats.
Hmm ... we know that women like cats but never know that a cat will not love the man! They fall for the house, where always found something to eat. So carefully cats are like animals flattering. True friend of man is dog.
Yes, you are right cats are the women's best friends. Women likes cats very much.
Mostly women loves to be friend with cats.
I would say Diamonds are a women's Best friends.
It is the wish of all women that she should look different from the crowd. All should recognize the beauty of women and should appreciate it. So, diamond is what today's women had chosen. The soft sparkling of diamond which stands different in the crowd is what women like. It reveals the status, femininity of women. As women of today like to posses grand status in society. She is no more confined to the four walls of house. In order to show her grand style wearing one diamond serves the purpose.
I don't think Women best friends are cats. Although women love to have pets. The best friends of women are their fashionable jewelry and clothes.
I dont think it like it. Many women are also scared of cats
I honestly don't think that cats are women's bestfriend because I truly love my dogs. And I think it depends on what the women wants. We all know that we are all unique individuals.
It is seems to ok but a cat is a good friend of women to pass their solo time that is all . I think there is no other way to Make a best friend.
yes offcourse. Cats are women's best friends............
mostly many girls have cats but me i have don't no that and to be frank many girls aware of cats.
I think this discussion is leading nowhere. Thread closed.


text: I have Trijicon's on all three of my pistols, and wouldn't think of not having them installed on a PD weapon. That being said there may be times you would need a quick draw at very close range as statistically most encounters occur(ie. at night, close range)and would not have time to look at the sights or obtain a sight picture, however, the times at night where you could get a sight picture, I would prefer to be able to see my sights.

I'm not reading wannabeefarms post as anything other than a statement of Ontario law odd though it might be.
I'm not reading wannabeefarms post as anything other than a statement of Ontario law odd though it might be.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
To the best of my knowledge, Wannabee's statements are an accurate reflection of common law, that may or may not have been codified. For example, I own a bee tree in the State forest, due to the fact that my initial's are on it. If it was in my county, which rescinded the common law, it would not be mine.
P.S. You should have seen the look on the State Forester's face when I explained the law. He could not find anything to say it was NOT my tree.
Crazy Roland
In today's time, could an environmental group, person, etc., file charges of vandalism against people who claim they own a bee tree because their initials are on it...they may not argue about the person's ownership of the bees but claim the beek is admitting to defacing/vandalizing the tree? Just thinking "outside the tree" with a "what if" scenario.
Btw Roland...interesting law, thanks for sharing.
>If they enter someone else's equipment you no longer have legal claim to them
Good, now I don't feel bad about all the bait swarms I catch. Catchers Bee Keepers Losers Bee Weepers. I need a bumper sticker like that.

so if I go after my pigs on someones land, and they coral them, they get to keep them? Not likely. Real livestock precedence could easily outweigh this in court. Presuming you can prove something is yours. That aside. This is kind of a dumb thread. If you have neighbors harassing your op, have a talk with them.

So, as a new beekeeper trying to find my way...
Treatment free means NO treatment right? Or does it include powdered sugar shakes and essential oils and such?
So, as a new beekeeper trying to find my way...
Treatment free means NO treatment right? Or does it include powdered sugar shakes and essential oils and such?
While you need to decide for yourself what treatment free means for you, this forum has settled on a definition of treatment free. Under the forum rules powdered sugar shakes and essential oils are treatments.
"The users of this forum have decided to agree on a single definition for "Treatment-Free Beekeeping" for the sake of context in posts and threads in this forum.
Treatment: A substance introduced by the beekeeper into the hive with the intent of killing, repelling, or inhibiting a pest or disease afflicting the bees."
No one is holding a gun to your head to follow this definition. But you should read the sticky post to see what the special forum rules are. http://www.beesource.com/forums/show...nique-Forum-Ru
Agreed, that is the definition here, but decide for yourself what your management philosophy will be. If you want to be treatment free, be prepared for colonies to fail. It is not as simple as not treating bees, and collecting honey.
I think this is a great thread to read.
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
As mentioned, the forum definition is for the forum. It is not a national standard or a law or rule or anything. It is for here. If I say I keep bees treatment-free, that means I do not use any of the things listed in the Unique Forum Rules. Many people do dip in to the softer treatments. I on the other hand go the other way. I don't use any of the manipulation or management methods either. That's my definition. It fits the forum definition perfectly but goes beyond it as well.
1) treat and all of your colonies will survive
2) don't treat and all of your colonies will die
It would be fair to say that nearly all of the members of my local beekeeping club treat. The club averaged ~50% losses by the April meeting.
Adam - Zone 5A
National surveys show that using known varroa control products results only 7 fewer colony losses per 100.
All beekeepers have colonies that fail. The data shows that TF beekeepers lose a few more, but the differences are surprisingly small.
Thanks everyone - wish I had read the rules for the forum first which would have answered my question - but the wisdom of you all is much better anyway .
It would be much better stated and accurate by removing the word "all".
The idea very commonly passed around is that by treating, you remove the possibility of bees dying of disease. And if you don't treat, your bees will die. The data shows that if you treat, some of your bees will die. If you don't treat, some of your bees will die. If you have a small number of hives, you risk a greater probability that all or most of your bees will die in any single winter.
If you have good genetics, good conditions, and a good beekeeper, chances are very few of your colonies will die.
If you have bad genetics, poor conditions, and a novice beekeeper, the probability increases correspondingly that you will lose hives in substantial proportions. It is for these reasons why I suggest catching local swarms and buying local nucs to start down the good genetics path. Set up your hives and manage in ways that do not frustrate the bees to help with conditions. And I humbly offer my advice and apiaries to anyone who would ask or visit to learn, to help beekeepers get practiced and mature in their skills.
There is no such thing as luck. There is chance and skill. Chance is what happens to you that is out of your control. Skill is how you've prepared and what you do with it.
In my college days, I said it this way: Chance is the questions on the exam. Skill is the number of answers you have.
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
Adam - Zone 5A
To true, and I do not mean for it to be a discouragement. The issue is getting to a point where you are sustainable, with good beekeeping practices, knowledge and experience, bees that are adapted to your environment and express the traits that you desire. I believe it is more likely for those of us who are treatment free to have more losses before we reach that point.
Personally I am still in this phase. This past winter I lost 7 of my 8 colonies, 5 of which were headed by supposed resistant treatment free queens. This year I am restocking as well as putting out swarm traps (in areas that have never seen hived bees) . I am buying northern queens this year from "resistant" stock, as I know of no local source of bees that are not commercial and wintered in California. We will see.
Dan Hayden 5 Years. 10 hives. Tx Free. USDA Zone 5b.
About 2 hour drive, and 4 months longer growing season. To the west there are bees to be had, but they also have about 3-4 months longer growing season. Both average 6-9 degrees warmer than here. I do not consider any of them local, it is however where I end up buying my packages and nucs.

Ah, interesting how close but so different...
I'm planning to make a nuc from my stronger hive soon, and hope to make another from the other before the summer is out. Of course, none of that is a guarantee that I'll have bees next year, but the brood break should help.
There is some unrealistic promotion of treatment free beekeeping, but I suppose there's even more promotion of the idea that if you just follow all the treatment regimens that conventional beekeepers prescribe, your colonies will survive.
The way I think about it is this: how long can we go on trying to treat the symptoms of unhealthy bees successfully? The treatment free route is not easy, but I see little evidence that the other path is truly sustainable.
>It is common to hear so and so say they have been TX free for X number of years and have lost no colonies.
That is an interesting perception as I can not remember anyone, treatment free or not, saying they have lost no colonies... unless it's a beginner who hasn't had bees more than a year or so...
It is important to pay attention to the actual words, and not just your impression of them...
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I have been treatment free for ten years and I have lost like.......well, I lost 15 in the first five years, lost five in 2009, lost one last winter, one this winter. And despite characterizations of TF beeks, I never bought bees to replace deadouts, only to expand. I never lost all of them at once and I haven't bought any nucs or packages since 2010.
But you didn't read the WORD.
"Haven't lost a single hive to pestilence."
They did NOT say they had not lost a hive. They said they had not lost a hive "to pestilence".

Obama to rabbis on health care: "We are God's partners in matters of life and death"
posted at 6:10 pm on August 19, 2009 by Allahpundit
Mmmmmm, that's some tasty religious pandering. Just what Dr. AP ordered!
President Barack Obama needs some outside help pushing health care reform, and he's turning to rabbis to get it.
In a morning conference call with about 1000 rabbis from across the nation, Obama asked for aid: "I am going to need your help in accomplishing necessary reform," the President told the group, according to Rabbi Jack Moline, who tweeted his way through the phoner.
"We are God's partners in matters of life and death," Obama went on to say, according to Moline's real-time stream.
I don't think I've ever heard a believer be so presumptuous as to say we're "partners" with God on the ultimate question, let alone one who's pushing a government program that's got people worried about "death panels," but oh well. Water off an atheist's back, baby. In fact, partnership's actually a nice conceptual framework for The One's position on abortion: God's the junior partner and we're the senior partners, and sometimes the senior partner has to exercise his/her veto.
Theological question: If God's onboard with ObamaCare, what sort of terrible wrath is America risking by tanking the Democrats' numbers ever since they started talking about it? New from Pew:
The One's approval rating in the same poll: Just above the water line at 51 percent, which is exactly where it is in Gallup and Rasmussen today, too. That's 10 points below where he was just two months ago. Exit question: Second look at faith-based politics for the left? (Yes!)

Many retailers were suppose to wait until November 5th before they allowed these items out but most appear to be letting them out now, so check any of your local stores to see if they have anything out now!

Tesla Model S Performance Slays BMW M5 in Acceleration Test

Tesla Model S Performance (L) and BMW M5 (R)
(Source: Automobile Magazine)
Tesla's Model S is no joke
Some people have plenty of doubts about Tesla Motors and the Model S. The company is still struggling to
get production numbers up and is battling its way to profitability
. And the fact that federal money is being used to
fund a $7,500 tax credit
for the purchase of a $100,000 vehicle doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
However, there's no question that Tesla Motors has developed a remarkable car in the Model S. From its sexy exterior looks to its high-tech interior, the Model S aims to impress. And now, we're still learning that the five-door hatchback has some
serious performance credentials backing it up as well
Automobile Magazine
pitted a fresh
Model S Performance
against BMW's new F10 M5. The BMW M5 ($106,695) is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine developing a whopping 560hp and 500 lb-ft of torque (this is backed by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission). The Model S Performance ($102,270) has a rear-mounted motor that generates 416hp and 443 lb-ft of torque.
When the two were set on the drag strip for a 0-100 mph race, the 4,640-pound Model S Performance simply walked away from the 4,347-pound M5 off the line. This stellar performance is no doubt attributed to the electric car's instant torque that is available from 0 to 5,800 RPM.
The M5 narrowed the lead towards the end of the run, but there's no question that the Model S bested BMW's high-echelon performance sedan in this particular test. However, this is just one test, and we'd like to see a complete head-to-head comparison between the two vehicles in the usual battery of acceleration, braking, and handling metrics.
To see the Model S go up against the M5, take a look at the video below:

Looking at bleacher reports mock draft, I notice a draft full of talented players, and more importantly there is a number of good qbs that will surely all go top- 10. This gives the giants some room to make a move on position players.
bridgewater (qb louisville), bortles (ucf), manziel (qb texas a&m), clowney (de sc), jake matthews (OT texas a&M) khalil mack (de buffalo) anthony barr (olb ucla) derek carr (qb fresno state) and eric ebron (te unc) is their mock drafted top 10.
11- kony early (De missouri)
Now these are potential players the giants can get. They are projected to get at their 12th pick Greg Robinson a stud tackle from Auburn. Not only did he play SEC football but apparently the coach deems him the best blocker hes seen in 3 decades of coaching, and he is a big part of the reason for Auburns run to almost winning the championship
others players:
sammy watkins (wr-clemson) - I don't know about you guys but Ive been following him since he was a freshman. He is insanely talented I would love to draft him although its not as important a need as others
calvin pryor (s-louisville)
CJ mosely (ilb alabama)
Kelvin Bejamin (wr-florida state)
Haha Clinton-Dix (s alabama) one of the best players on the alabama defense this year.
Mike Evans (WR- texas a&m) top receiver in the prolific texas a&m offense this year
Cyrus Kouandjio (OT- alabama)
Darqueeze Dennard (cb- michigan state) - a beast of a corner back. michigan state won me plenty of money betting this year and it was because of their no fly zone defense. could understand this guy going top 10
David Yankey (g-stanford) - best guard in draft, great at pulling.
Antonio Richardson (OT-Tennessee) 6'6 325 monster
Plenty of tackles, hopefully the Giants can get Robinson but if not I say take WATKINS. I know its ballsy but I really think he will be one of the best receivers in the league soon.

Arsenal Football Club has been recognised for its outstanding work supporting young individuals making the transition from care to adult life, with a From Care2Work Quality Mark award – a national recognition awarded by Catch22 National Care Advisory Service (NCAS) which acknowledges those local authorities who demonstrate a commitment to improving employability and helping care leavers into the world of work.
Arsenal in the Community has been working for over two years with the Islington Council Leaving Care Service to enhance the opportunities for young people leaving care and to help them fulfil their potential in adult life.
In order to identify those individuals most in need of support, Arsenal in the Community staff met with local authorities to understand the backgrounds of the young people in care in more detail.
Upon completion of this process, the Club was able to identify suitable programmes within the Community department for the young people to join, based on their interests and aspirations.
Five of the young people that were referred to Arsenal in the Community through the Islington Councils Leaving Care Service joined the Arsenal Employability Programme – a bespoke 12-week employment and education scheme delivered by the Club in partnership with City and Islington College, that saw the individuals involved successfully graduate to receive a Level Two Certificate in Work skills accredited by Edexcel.
The programme covers all aspects of employment, from preparing for an interview, how to act in the workplace, rights and responsibilities at work and developing a career progression plan. There are also various opportunities to gain entries to employment through the programme with Arsenal's matchday caterers, Delaware North Companies.
Other youngsters referred to the department joined Arsenal in the Community's Positive Futures coach education programme, which sees successful participants receive a Level One Coaching Certificate and the National Citizens Service programme, an initiative which sees individuals participate in a group social action programme and two week summer residential.
Mardouche Yembi, one of the youngsters previously in care who has found his feet volunteering on the Positive Futures project, said: "I am really pleased to have this opportunity with Arsenal. They have helped me a lot and given me so many opportunities. Now I am coaching and really enjoying it. This is what I really want to do in the future".Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Supervisorial Districts 2, 3 & 5 seats are up for election in the 06/03/08 Primary Election.
The regular nomination period starts 02/11/08 & ends 03/07/08. If the incumbent does not file, the nomination period gets extended 5 calendar days to "non incumbents only", which would be 03/12/08.
There is a non-refundable filing fee which will be 1% of the annual salary ($960 approx) which is due at the time the candidate takes out their nomination papers during the regular nomination period. Valid nomination signatures of no less than 20 but no more than 40 are required at the time the nomination papers are filed.
The signature-in-lieu period is optional for the candidate & simply helps pay for the filing fee. It starts 12/28/07 & ends 02/21/08. This is not to be confused with the nomination period. Valid signatures of voters that live within the district the candidate is running for are credited towards the filing fee. Each valid signature is worth 25 cents.
The "write-in candidacy period" starts 04/07/08 & ends 05/20/08. No filing fee is required but the valid nomination signatures of no less than 20 but no more than 40 are still required.

Reviews of this property
Die Planung und Kommunikation im Vorfeld sowie die Einweisung war komplikationslos. Die gezeigten Fotos der Unterkunft vermitteln einen guten Eindruck der sehr stilvollen und das Flair der Stadt unterstreichenden Wohnung. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt in den wenigen Tagen unseres Aufenthaltes. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt hätten wir jedoch eine Wohnung mit deutlich besserer Aussicht gewählt (auch in dieser Preiskategorie), denn dies Apartment liegt im etwas erhöhten Erdgeschoss mit kleinen vergitterten Fenstern, die nur auf enge Gassen führen, so dass man diese eher geschlossen hält und sich stets im Lampenschein aufhalten muss. Abgesehen von der kaum sinnvoll zu benutzenden Dusche im zweiten Bad waren die technisch-apparativen Voraussetzungen sehr gut und die Lage in der Stadt ist exzellent.
Danke Barbara und Valentina
Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment exceeded our expectation and it was perfect for my husband's 70th birthday family celebration. It was very spacious and well equipped for 7 people. The views were incredible - it must have the best view in Venice and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.The location is perfect too, very central and yet private. Our host Barbara and her colleague Valentina were extremely helpful and nice. We shall definitely return.
What a fantastic apartment! The position overlooking the Grand Canal, with balconies looking out opposite the Rialto Market is simply sublime to watch Venice go about its business. 5 mins walk to the water taxi stops of Ca D'or or Rialto. It is also a huge apartment in size. Easily sleeps 7 comfortably (and could be 8 if the single room had a double bed in it). Fully equipped,everything we needed, also has good Wi-Fi. Booking and service by Barbara and Valentina were superb - great information prior to arrival, met on arrival and talked through everything, restaurant recommendations, location etc. As others have mentioned there is some noise from the bar below and the dock itself as its used to load/unload, but Venice is a city and this is to be expected, so bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper and you will be fine - it didn't bother us. Again, superb location, wonderful apartment, great service - we will be back!
Lovely view and perfect position - however, very noisy, next to a bar which at the weekend played music till 3am and on other nights cleared bottles and rubbish at 5am!
Organisation on arrival was very poor - arrangements made with Barbara had not been passed on to local staff and caused unnecessary hassle.
On departure the staff member checking the apartment was very abrupt and rude, wanting to fine us for leaving bagged rubbish, stating that instructions were clear in our written guide - which was actually in Italian!
The apartment was in an excellent position, easy to walk to all districts in Venice, being situated very close to the Accademia Bridge over the Grand Canal. It was also a few doors down from an excellent restaurant; expensive but the quality of food was superb and service friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the view from the living room balcony which looked out onto a quiet canal and gave us a flavour of working Venice as opposed to Tourism. We were a bit concerned at the state of the floor in the main room which was wooden and some of the squares were collapsing which meant being very conscious of them when walking around. We were also disappointed in the lack of cooking facilities; there was only a hob with two hot plates, no grill or oven which was a pity for us as we eat a lot of fish and were looking forward to buying some from the famous fish market in Venice. However the representatives were friendly and helpful and sorted out water taxis for our return to the airport. We did enjoy our stay in Venice and couldn't have asked for a better location.

Lovely apartment. Well taken care of. Spacious rooms. Good service from Barbara and her colleagues. The location is pretty central.
Heerlijk appartement. Goed verzorgd. Ruime kamers. Goede service van Barbara en haar collega. De ligging is mooi centraal.
A very quiet location, yet centrally located apartment. The kitchen was very well equipped, only a coffee machine was missing. The two bathrooms were big enough, as were the rooms. The TV receives even ARD and ZDF. We like to stop us in the apartment and everything worked great. The owners were very nice and even gave us picked up and brought us to the apartment. The beds were comfortable and there was a lack of towels we did not (3 pieces). All in all you can really only recommend this apartment!
Eine sehr ruhig gelegene, aber dennoch zentral gelegene Wohnung. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet, nur eine Kaffeemaschine fehlte. Die zwei Bäder waren ausreichend groß, genauso wie die Zimmer. Der Fernseher empfängt sogar ARD und ZDF. Wir haben uns gerne in der Wohnung aufgehalten und alles hat super funktioniert. Die Vermieter waren sehr nett und haben uns sogar abgeholt und uns zur Wohnung gebracht. Die Betten waren bequem und an Handtüchern mangelte es uns auch nicht (3 Stück). Alles in allem kann man diese Wohnung wirklich nur weiterempfehlen!
A beautifully situated house on the Grand Canal! However, only
3 right double rooms available !!. Other facilities very good. The apartment is only suitable for 3 couples. Very nice living area and a fully
equipped kitchen. The support provided by Daniela was very friendly.
Central a little hard to find location, but highly recommended.
Eine wunderschön gelegene Wohnung am Canale Grande ! Allerdings sind nur
3 richtige Doppelzimmer vorhanden !!. Sonstige Ausstattung sehr gut . Die Wohnung ist nur für 3 Paare geeignet. Sehr schöner Wohnbereich und eine voll
ausgestattete Küche. Die Betreuung durch Daniela war sehr freundlich.
Zentrale etwas schwierig zu findende Lage, aber sehr empfehlenswert.
Perfect, everything as we saw in the photos. And the superb location

Everything Takes Practice
February 2, 2013 at 12:09 p.m.
I don't have New Year's resolutions, really. I pick a few things I'd like to learn in a year, and sometimes I actually learn those things. Sometimes I end up on weird tangents, and sometimes those pay off.
What I do have, more by accident than intention, is something of an annual mantra, a little phrase that keeps coming back into my life and work.
Last year's mantra: Resist the urge to be clever.
I had that written on the whiteboard next to my desk at NPR. I can't remember which project inspired it, but ...
What's Next?

A sign that I've really fallen off the blogging habit: The front page of my site, which lists my 15 most recent posts, is still showing the post I wrote last time I changed jobs. Now I'm writing another one of those posts.
Monday, July 30, was my last day at NPR. A week from tomorrow, my wife is flying to Boston to start her Nieman-Berkman fellowship at Harvard, and I'll be following with an apartment worth of furniture a week later. After more than three years here, we're leaving DC.
This is also the first ...

James Fallows, on why it's ok to give "iffy" answers to questions about China:
If anyone starts telling you with "certainty" what is or is not going to happen in China, you should mistrust that person -- precisely because of the certainty. There are contradictory pressures, trends, and "truths" in every part of the country every day. You can imagine the current system surviving more or less intact for another generation. You can also imagine it blowing up -- and, after it has happened, either would seem "inevitable" and "pre-ordained." So while this may seem like equivocation, it's actually a ...
Two Tricks For a More Interesting VirtualEnv
January 2, 2012 at 2:48 p.m.
Ian Bicking's virtualenv has become one of those apps I just can't code without (or at least, I hate to code without). I have so many quick-hit, one-off, throwaway apps with so many strange and sometimes conflicting dependencies that I can't imagine how I'd get anything done if they all swam in the same soup.
This is all made better by Doug Hellman's virtualenvwrapper, which makes creating and managing virtual environments dead simple.
Given that, here are two tricks I figured out yesterday that could make things a little more interesting:
Using (Some) Global Site ...
Features as Apps, Apps as Services
July 15, 2011 at 12:49 p.m.
The CMS is a dying concept. Erik Hinton at TPM gets us started on thinking beyond One System To Rule Them All:
Instead of revolving around a monolithic central piece of software, we have adopted the paradigm of feature-as-app. Our frontpage: an app. Our slideshow: a different app. Article publishing: yet another app. You get the picture. At the heart is a simple and flexible API that digests manifold requests from the different applications. For example, Moveable Type is great at publishing entries and updating its database accordingly. Our new system will simply wrap the MT database in a cached ...

Over the months of the Chicago mayoral race, like a lot of people, I became a huge fan of MayorEmanuel, and the vulgar stream of ad hoc literature that sprung from the mind of Dan Sinker. Which is funny, because I've still never been to Chicago. I should fix that.
On Building Communities
May 26, 2011 at 11:56 a.m.
Building communities on the Internet is a new kind of profession. There are an awful lot of technology companies, founded by programmers, who think they are building communities on the Internet, but they're really just building software and wondering why the community doesn't magically show up.
From Joel Spolsky, talking about modern community building, who goes on to detail the unique challenges of the field.
Even better, there's a job opening at the end.
Speaking of dated imperialist dogma...

I've been muttering lines from this all morning:
Props to The Guardian for giving me a way to make extravagant demonstrations of inherited wealth disappear from their homepage. And to other news organizations that remembered there are more important issues at hand than a marriage in someone else's monarchy.

Happy Accidents. And Then What?
April 13, 2011 at 7:48 p.m.
If this was a new startup, a one or two person shop, I'd give it a thumbs up for innovation and good execution on a simple but viral idea.
But the fact that this is coming from Odeo makes me wonder – what is this company doing to make their core offering compelling? How do their shareholders feel about side projects like Twttr when their primary product line is, besides the excellent design, a total snoozer?
That comes at the end of the first post on TechCrunch about Twitter, then known by the shorter Twttr. The rest is history.

Let's Build a Better DC News Aggregator
February 19, 2011 at 10:29 p.m.
This month's Carnival of Journalism asks: What can I do to increase the number of news sources?
I take the following as given: DC doesn't have a shortage of news, or an inadequate supply of sources. There are three daily newspapers (with metro sections), a weekly, several TV stations and radio on both AM and FM. TBD's community network points to 225 blogs focused on the metro area. Between Wordpress, Facebook, cell phones and cheap broadband access, anyone with an urge to participate in conversation and report news (however defined) can do so.
(A disclosure I'll ...
What Business is HuffPo In?
February 13, 2011 at 10:38 a.m.
One reason that The Huffington Post gets a lot of criticism for not paying its bloggers is because most people think of it as a publishing company, when really — like Facebook — it is more of a technology company. Whether the content is paid or unpaid, the site is able to generate a comparatively large amount of revenue from it because of things like search engine optimization, and the way that its editors use their page space: a poorly-performing article will all but disappear from the site almost as soon as it is posted, while a strong one can hold its ...
Onward to NPR
February 7, 2011 at 9:48 p.m.
I've been holding off writing this post. It is, for a number of reasons, a hard one to write. Maybe it shouldn't be--but it is.
Wednesday is my last day at the NewsHour. Two years and a week ago I moved across the country with a backpack for a job I was recruited for in a tweet. Since then, I've worked on projects than reshaped how I think about journalism and changed the way I call myself a journalist.
- Patchwork Nation got me thinking about local-national collaborations and frameworks for reporting.
- The Annotated State of the Union ...
Carnival of Journalism: Students in the Mix
January 23, 2011 at 2:17 p.m.
This month's inaugural Carnival of Journalism asks how universities can be better information hubs in a networked community. Since I've been away from college a while now (and haven't really looked back) I decided to look at a working program and get insight from someone wrangling with these questions daily.
Matt Mansfield runs the DC bureau of the Medill News Service, part of Northwestern University's school of journalism. Students participate in the program in their fourth and final quarter as a capstone course. They're Capitol Hill credentialed and their work appears in mainstream publications. The ...
Using TableFu to Crack Those Tables
January 21, 2011 at 2:33 p.m.
Note: in lieu of other excuses: I have a carnival of journalism post coming soon. Consider this an unrelated holdover to remind you that I do, in fact, still occasionally use this blog.
For a while now, I've been toying with a side project called TableFu. If you follow me on Twitter or Github, you've probably seen it. It might already be in your toolkit (if, for example, you needed to organize a bunch of Youtube videos of Christmas carols).
The project started as a Python port of ProPublica's project of the same name, which is written ...
Secrets and Facts
January 14, 2011 at 12:23 a.m.
Reporters like secrets because that's sort of the raison d'etre of reporting: Getting new information into the world. Secrets are the things that you really need reporters to find out. But a lot of the secrets that end up getting attention -- so-and-so said such-and-such about this-and-that -- tend to be embarrassing rather than revelatory. And the relevant policy players aren't thinking about those secrets when they make the relevant policy decisions. They're thinking about age structures in Egypt. Thinking about age structures in Egypt is, after all, why they were hired for the job in the first ...

I know YuNa is beatable, period. I think even Yuna herself dares not to dismiss other top skaters. This is a world lp thread and not whether Yuna is rhetorically unbeatable or not. Maybe youtubo is confused about geography, and mistook world lp thread as an olys thread. (Afterall youtubo is the person who went to the Guiness world record thread and called the Guiness world record, Guiness Japanese record. )
Yeah, this lp maybe her last, and in this comp she was beaten by another skater, not by herself. I already had quite a discussion with a Yuna fan in this thread earlier, that some skaters, e.g. Mao has the potential to beat Yuna everytime they both laced up. I don't read Yuna's mind , but I think Yuna herself believes that too. Going forward, I hope if Yuna continues to skate, she is doing it for herself and not for her federation or whatever. Yuna has accomplished all hef goals, she deserves to go to Disneyland or go to college, and do whatever makes her happy. The thought of Ito 1996 worlds still hurts. And now I am off topic.
Anyways back on topic, I learnt something from watching world lp, it was tough to accept and finally learn why Laura was placed third

I have not ever fed pollen substitute to my TBH in January. From what I am reading through some of the posts here, early buildup and larger bee populations for our flow (Apr. 15 to June 15) could be achieved by early pollen feeding in mid to late January.
Bees are still clustered here during that time with 3 or four days that bees may break cluster during the month.
When feeding pollen to langs, it is suggested that you pace patties directly over the center of the cluster and on the top bars.
Of course you can't do this in a TBH. If any of you feed pollen or substitute early where do you locate the patty?
Thanks for your help.

It's too bad, I'm too good....
For those wondering, Prince Amukamara played 74% of the defensive plays last night. He is cemented into the rotation as long as he stays healthy...
DD is a left tackle. He's not a guard and he sure as hell isn't a RT. He tried that years ago and failed. He is a left tackle. Bur right now, the O line as it is seems to be working well. Beatty has to stay on the field of course.
Last year our O line played well together with DD at LT. we actually improved in pass protection and the running game. But that was last year.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
It's also documented that in 2010 Paul Ryan wrote a federal budget that would not only slash social security benefits, but partly privatize them.

If there's one thing that's obvious about the 2012 NFL preseason it's that the Jets need both more drama and more attention. You know what will provide that? A training camp, that's what.
And we got one on Monday morning as Joe McKnight and D'Anton Lynn were involved in a little melee after a play in which McKnight caught a ball and, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, was shoved by Lynn on his way out of bounds. McKnight then threw the ball at Lynn and about 20 people got involved in the brawl, which was later broken up by Rex Ryan.

It is with great sadness and profound respect that Pulaski Technical College reports the loss of Harriet Frazer on Wednesday, April 25, 2007, in Little Rock. Mrs. Frazer, 69, was the founding Chief Academic Officer of Pulaski Technical College and served as Dean of Instruction until her retirement in 1999.
Much of the growth of Pulaski Technical College can be attributed to Mrs. Frazer's efforts. When the school became a two-year college in 1991, Mrs. Frazer assumed the monumental task of developing associate degrees in a number of technical/occupational areas and for creating a comprehensive university-transfer degree program. She saw the college through accreditation with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and coordinated 15 graduation ceremonies at Barton Coliseum...and many more on the main campus in North Little Rock.
Upon her retirement from full-time employment with Pulaski Tech, she returned to the college to help establish and operate the testing laboratory in Counseling and Advising.
An only child, Mrs. Frazer devoted the past several years to caring for her elderly parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Bernard Frazer; a daughter Miah Frazer Michaelsen, son-in-law Jonathan Michaelsen and grandchildren Brendan and Wyeth all of Bloomington, Indiana; a son Bryan Frazer, daughter-in-law Angela Frazer and grandchildren Brittney and Conor all of North Little Rock; dear friend and sorority sister Barbara Fenters of California and numerous sorority sisters, colleagues, neighbors and friends.
Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at the North Little Rock Funeral Home, with the Rev. Larry Powell officiating. Graveside service will be held at 1:30 p.m. at Walnut Lake Cemetery in Dumas. Family will receive friends from 5-7 p.m. Friday at North Little Rock Funeral Home, 1921 Main, North Little Rock, (501) 758-1170.
Mrs. Frazer will be remembered for many things, including her quick wit, cheerful laugh, ready smile, attention to detail, and devotion to our faculty, staff and students. She was the consummate professional and a true leader in every sense of the word. She will be dearly missed.
A copy of Mrs. Frazer's obituary is included in this message. Online obituary and guest register are at www.northlittlerockfuneralhome.com.
Please keep the Frazer family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Atl trades first and 2nd pick to move up to 19 to take eifert(let's hope he blows up the combine to make them trade up to take Tony's replacement !)
1st(31st)- Cb Xavier Rhodes-our secondary is garbage, some of it is scheme, a lot of it is Webster. Prince and jayron give me hope for the future but in a pass happy league you need 3 quality cb's. Rhodes and prince on the outside with hosely on the slot would be very solid.
2nd-OG Larry Warford- huge road grader that we have never had under TC. They realize something's wrong with our run attack but instead of addressing the oline they go RB early and take projects later for the line. Wilson was a great pick but our oline is getting worse every year and Reese's projects are blowing up in his face.I have seen deandre Hopkins mocked in this area on a bunch of mocks. If he is there I don't see how we pass but I'm sure he will move way up and be gone.
2nd-OT brennan Williams -see above
3-DE Brandon Jenkins-would really like to see kiwi move back to De but sadly they have already screwed up his career so I doubt they try to rectify it now. We need help on the dline and Jenkins would be a great compliment to jpp.
4-Olb zavier gooden- our lbrs looked promising last year and vanished this year. Scheme, lack of talent, position coach? Idk all I know is we need help. Gooden would be a great weak side lbr for us.
5- C TJ Johnson-if we don't come away with at least 2 quality olineman that can contribute early and often I will call this draft a bust, period. Havi g said that 3 olineman is optimal. Bass has been a huge let down with his inconsistent play.tj is another road grader type that can move those big dts out of the way for Wilson.

Bend water project begins; popular trails closed
Tumalo Falls trailhead closed until May
BEND, Ore. - Several trails and the Tumalo Falls trailhead have closed as construction begins on Bend's controversial surface water project.
Officials say the trails will be closed until the end of May.
The project, to replace an aging pipeline, has been in planning for years. Opposition and red tape has slowed the start of the project.
"It was not anything we wanted, was that kind of short notice," Tom Hickmann, city engineer, said Wednesday. "We had actually hoped to get the notice out a couple weeks ago."
The city says they wanted to give a more advance notice, but legal appeals and the permit process slowed them down.
"The schedule, even in the last couple weeks was impacted by due to the fire," said Hickmann. "The fire impacted the Forest Services availability to work with us on getting this special use permit."
The closure includes the Tumalo Trail head, the Farewell and Bridge Creek trails. Officials are also closing parts of the North and South fork trails.
For hikers like Jeff Goodell of Portland, the closure comes at an inopportune time.
"The mosquitoes are gone and the weather is cooling down, so it's prime time to be able to go up on those trails there," said Goodell
People who frequent the area say it's not the end of the world.
"Its not too bad -- I really did wanna be able to ride the north fork during the month of October," said Goodell. "I can live without it. There are other places."
Construction on the project is set to begin on October 10th.
A community meeting is also planned by Mortenson Construction for Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Skyliners Lodge, to provide details on the project's impact on area residents.

Premium tempered Glass is made to protect the LCD from damage and scratches with specially processed glass that has been reinforced to increase shock absorbency. The entire surface of the glass is transparent and the back side is covered with a strong silicon adhesive for easy installation. When installed, there are no gaps between the LCD and the glass which means the touch screen's sensitivity is unaffected.
Installation Guide:
1. Before beginning, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly and wipe your screen with the microfiber cloth.
2. Peel the protective layer 1 off the adhesie side.
3. Carefully align the tempered glass and the cutouts to the screen ?and slowly begin the application process.
4. Press center of the tempered glass lightly (only a minimum amount of pressure is necessary). Then adhesive part spred to over all smoothly. The film`s adhesive properties allow the tempered glass to stick onto your screen.
