Many of my readers have asked for me to do more posts about money/investments/the economy. I will start a new program in an effort to do at least one per week. It will be called Money Monday. Each Monday there will be a post about money.
For our first Money Monday we have a story about an upswing in giving from the Philanthropy Journal.
Most Americans plan to give as much or more to charity in the final three months of the year, compared to the same period in previous years a new survey says.
Another good sign that the economy is getting better. When people are scared or the market makes a big drop – they give less money.
The Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund says its donors recommended over 212,000 grants totaling over $741 million to nonprofits in the first nine months of 2010, up 22 percent and 13 percent, respectively from the same period last year.
Incoming charitable contributions in the first nine months of the year grew 54 percent to $610 million.
If you can, please give to a Secular charity like the Foundation Beyond Belief.
It's been a great year. With six weeks to go in 2010, the humanist members of Foundation Beyond Belief have raised over $70,000 for 37 outstanding charities.Now we're asking for a little help ourselves.
In 2010, our members fed, clothed, and paid school tuition for 22 impoverished children in Nepal. We have funded science education in India and in US public schools and supported efforts to fight global warming and protect biodiversity.
We put textbooks in Uganda's humanist schools and peacebuilding teams in Uganda's conflict areas. We funded efforts to improve access to health care for marginalized populations on four continents and in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake. We helped launch a new Camp Quest in Virginia and helped build a new school for girls in Pakistan.
We've added humanist voices and dollars to the fight for LGBT rights, the key civil rights struggle of our time. We've empowered adoptions, fed the hungry, and worked to protect the most vulnerable—refugees in war, victims of torture, women under threat of religious violence, political asylees, people struggling with addiction, and those hoping for dignity at the end of their lives.
Creating a truly new humanist community effort has been so gratifying. But it also comes with expenses such as grant writing, publicity, web hosting, member communications, and professional accounting. Since we are committed to remaining a 100 percent pass-through organization, we rely on separate donations for our own operational costs. Because the current economy took a serious bite out of our major funding sources, we are left with an operating deficit for 2010.
Can you help us close that gap?
We have big plans for 2011, including tripling membership and donations, creating a disaster relief fund, and launching both a kids' giving program and an initiative reaching out to other worldviews. It's going to be an amazing year of active, compassionate humanism.
Please help us end our first year strong and secure by going to our ChipIn page to make a tax-deductible donation of any amount to the Foundation, or by simply clicking on One-Time Donation.
Deepest thanks for your support and encouragement!

Zodiac using aggressive pricing to reduce inventoryPosted on
Zodiac of North America, a leading manufacturer of inflatable boats and rigid-hull inflatable boats, is holding a spring "stimulus" sale for Avon and Zodiac jet tenders currently in inventory.
"It's no secret that the marine industry is in a slump," said Gary Durnan, vice president at Zodiac, in a statement. "So we decided boaters needed their own 'stimulus' plan – one that can help them get into the serious jet tender of their dreams."
The spring stimulus sale saves customers 25 percent off the Zodiac ProJet 350 and Avon Seasport 320 Jet models. Freight and pre-delivery inspection fees are extra, and the sale is limited to in-stock models, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each feature international warranties and are supported by worldwide networks of dealers.
Stevensville, Md.-based Zodiac of North America is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Zodiac Marine and Pool, a Carlyle Group portfolio company.

" Address: St. Lawrence Gap / Christ Church / Bridgetown / Barbados / 15017 "
This is a 3 star hotel located in St Lawrence Gap. I had an ocean view room on the 2nd floor near the small pool. I really couldn't fault the hotel at all. The view from our room was perfect - palm trees, white sand and the Caribbean sea. We did not opt for the suite with a separate kitchen however we still had a sink, fridge and a kettle, which was adequate for us - we were room only and knowing the cost of food in Barbados decided to save a few $'s onbreakfast - we took 2 plastic plates and some plastic cutlery with us and went to the local shop and bought some bread, cheese, ham and nutella which was perfect for a breakfast on the balcony and was a
lovely start to the day.
We spent most of our time round the small pool which was very quiet,
sometimes we were the only one's there - I prefer not to sit on the
beach as I have very fair skin and although the breeze was lovely it's
deceiving as to how much you are getting burnt at the same time! Also
there were umbrella's by the pool, which were very useful! We would sit
by the pool and go in the sea every so often, washing off all the sand
with the shower just inside the hotel grounds, then reapplying sun
cream! This was perfect for us.
We took advantage of the free mini golf in the hotel, this is a lovely
little course and again was very quiet. We also borrowed boogie boards
which was lots of fun, you do get chucked around a lot in the waves
though if you're not very good! (I'm not!) We were lucky enough to see
turtles swimming close to the shore as well, which was amazing to see.
We ate lunch at the hotel most days, we found this a little pricey but
loved the setting next to the beach with a view of the sea. It was about
BDS$75 for a burger and chips, turkey panini and chips and a couple of
drinks - it all depends what you're used to spending really! The food
and service was excellent though! Towards the end of our stay the
waitress would walk up to us knowing exactly what we wanted - we are
creatures of habit!
The rooms were cleaned every day and were spotless, towels also changed
when you wanted, the rooms were comfortable and everything we wanted,
they're not luxury but we were nicely decorated and clean, the air con
was brilliant too!
Overall, I would recommend this hotel and will hopefully return one
day, it is in an excellent location close to bars and restaurants but
not too close that you are disturbed.
Barbados is a lovely island, with lovely friendly people and hope to return one day! If you go say Hello to Koko the parrot!
(modified from my original review on tripadvisor)
We stayed in the Southern Palms Hotel at the beginning of June 2009 for our honeymoon. It was our first time in Barbados and we found it to be a really friendly place to visit.
The Southern Palms is located on the south-west coast of the island in an area known as St Lawrence Gap - or The Gap for short. The Gap is supposedly the liveliest resort on the island, but is was very quiet when we went.
The hotel is pretty much in the middle of The Gap, around 5 minutes walk away from the main restaurants, although there are a couple of nice places just across the road - St Lawrence Steak House being a particular favourite during our stay there.
The first thing that you notice about the hotel is that it's pink... which to be honest is the reason I think my wife chose it! She did a good job though cos it was a great hotel. It's nicely designed, only 3 stories high meaning it's nice to look at - not like the hotels in Benidorm are! The grounds of the hotel are pleasant to walk around and the staff who work there are very friendly.
The rooms are fairly standard, but ours did have a little kitchen area with a sink and fridge. All rooms are air conditioned and have a large flatscreen TV on the wall, showing local channels as well as CNN and BBC World.
The hotel has 2 freshwater swimming pools with plenty of sunbeds around each one. The pools were very quiet while we were there, possibly because the hotel is right on the beach! The sea is about 20 yards away and you can hear the waves crashing on the shore whilst you're in the pool. The beach area immediately outside the hotel has some sun loungers that are reserved for Southern Palms' guests and was lovely to sit on. Several activities are available at the beach, including water skiing priced at $60 US.
The hotel has its own restaurant which we didn't use at night, but we did use for our lunchtime meals, where they serve usual American snacks such as burgers, hot dogs etc. These were quite expensively priced at around $70 Barbadian for a meal for 2. Instead of using cash at the restaurants and bars, you simply charge your meals to your room and pay the balance when you checkout. This is a great idea as it saves carrying money down to the beach with you.
The hotel has 2 computers that can be used to get online, which proved very useful for keeping up-to-date with events back home. There's also a 9-hole mini golf course which is free to use and you can also borrow bodyboards and snorkelling equipment for the sea - again for free! There is tennis court across the road as well, but we didn't us this.

Just on the Boundary Line
Poem by: Marise Marrs
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Just on the boundary line there lays a path. A path that is filled with dirt, a path that has dead grass overgrowing on each side that seems to tangle up and squeeze tight as it dries in the summer skies. There is no one to mend its nap for no one walks on the boundary line next to the path. It waits night and day for the one to mends its pain. That dies away every second that it waits for the fate to come and shake its roots for the dying will to come. It ponders and thinks what will to come. Oh poor path so ugly and unused when will they come to rescue you. From your direr feat that has been bestowed on you. Just on the boundary line you wait on the path that awakes with the pounding of a drum. Down comes as cold as stone a pounding of a wet cacophony over your body that so lays there untouched by even the beetles that scurry and rush. The desire of a touch that you so wish for has been granted. That selfish longing that you thirst for has been heard; the hard, dry, body of yours is now soft and oozing like jelly that has been mutilated by a knife. With the quick shower that had passed you feel the seeds of the dead tree sprout with joy. Rejoice and be proud for you are a path that lies next to the boundary line that has no life. Your wait is over and the ground will dine with greens that have never seen such a ground. But alas autumn has come and the chill of the night has begun to bud with fleeting touch as they dive in the dust. And resurface with a howl that wakes even the ghost that has long been dead on this rusty old path.

WASHINGTON, April 18. -- By a final vote of 62 to 6, the Senate tonight passed the new immigration exclusion bill, which would permit the entrance of about 161,000 immigrants a year for the next three years, this being a 2 per cent. quota of the foreign-born population of this country in 1890, according to the census of that year.

Ron Demes, business manager of Naval Air Station Key West, recently received the highest honor the Secretary of the Navy can give to a civilian employee.
In a surprise announcement during the Oct. 13 Navy Birthday Ball, Demes received the Secretary of the Navy Distinguished Civilian Service Award.
Capt. Patrick Lefere, NAS Key West commanding officer, presented the award, which is given annually to a small number of civilian employees nationally. "Mr. Demes' innumerable contributions made an invaluable difference to the Navy, the community and entire South Florida federal workforce," the award cites.
Lefere has worked closely with Demes for more than two years and said he relies on Demes' knowledge when it comes to executing the mission of the air station.
"With his 29 years of experience on this installation starting in the Public Works department and ultimately moving up to the senior civilian business manager position, Mr. Demes' sage advice and counsel are invaluable to me as commanding officer," said Lefere. "There is not another person on this Naval Air Station who has devoted more time and effort into ensuring we can complete our important mission. Ron pours his heart and soul into his job and this installation's superior capabilities and services are a direct result of his efforts."
Demes, a native of Edison, N.J., graduated from Penn State University in 1976 with a degree in civil engineering and was hired by NAS Key West in 1983. He has served in various positions and has left an indelible stamp on both the air station and the community, according to NAS Key West spokeswoman Trice Denny.
For the air station, Demes has served as an ex-officio member of the Key West Planning Board, Key West Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Local Redevelopment Authority, Key West Truman Waterfront Advisory Board and Monroe County Planning Commission.
Demes' community involvement includes the Key West Military Affairs Committee president; Leadership Monroe County president; Society of American Military Engineers Key West Post president; Navy League Key West Council president; Sunrise Rotary Club board member, Community Service Committee Chair and Paul Harris Fellow; Propeller Club of the United States Port of Key West member; and Sigsbee Charter School Facilities Committee member. He is
also an active member in his church serving as a trustee and on several committees. While it may seem like Demes keeps a full calendar, he credits this involvement toward his success in helping the air station maintain its operational and readiness missions.
"As NASKW faced extremely formidable challenges, I was fortunate enough to work for at least 12 commanding officers who inspired me as part of their team to realize countless successes against unbelievable odds and extreme circumstances," he said.
Receiving the award and being surprised with it at the Navy Birthday Ball, however, caught Demes off-guard, which is exactly how the commanding officer wanted it.
"It was an honor for me to present Mr. Demes with this prestigious award and especially to make it a surprise," said Lefere. "Not much happens on this base without Ron knowing about it...trust me."

Do you remember the tragic story about Jennifer Hudson's family back in 2008? The murder of her mother, brother and nephew is not something Jennifer discusses much anymore, or ever did really, but the murder trial of the man accused of the triple killing, William Balfour, is starting on Monday in Chicago, and Jen is expected to attend and testify.
William Balfour, the man on trial for the murders, was estranged from Jennifer's sister, Julia. He went on a killing rampage, slaughtering Julia's 7 year old son, Julian King, Jennifer and Julia's brother, Jason, and their mother, Darnell Donerson in 2008. The reports are saying that it was all based on jealousy over Julia's new partner. This photo was taken of Jen with her mom, Darnell, in 2008 at the New York premiere of Dreamgirls. It is so awful to think that soon after this event she was murdered.
When I first heard the news about this tragedy I was completely horrified. This is one seriously awful, deeply tragic story. I feel so sorry for Jennifer to have to relive this again through the trial. It is going to be horrific for her to hear testimony, evidence and possibly testify during the case. Ugh! She hasn't spoken much about the incident, but in 2010, she first spoke publicly to VH1, saying the tragedy "was surreal … It was like I was outside of myself." She added: "I'd pray when I get up in the morning, and pray before I lay down at night. If I didn't, I'd wake up depressed."
Lets all send our prayers and good thoughts to Jennifer Hudson as she prepares to relive this awful nightmare again. Hopefully once the trial is over, one way or another, she will have some peace and closure from this horror story.0

The focus of Ski Able is the Tournament Water Skiing for people with disability, including physical disabilities or vision impairment.
Disability water skiing categories
Within Ski Able there are 6 broad categories for the disability water skiing events.
Sit skiers
These are skiers with disabilities such as spinal cord injuries (paraplegia, quadriplegia), bilateral leg amputations or other conditions which affect the lower limbs. There are 3 categories within this division.
Vision impairment
This group of water skiers includes people with various forms of vision impairment as well as those who are totally blind. Skiers use an audio device for slalom skiing and a guide for jumps. There are 2 categories in the V Division
Leg division
L Division is for skiers who have an above or below knee amputation. Skiers can ski with or without their prosthesis.
Arm division

This division is for skiers who have an impairment of both upper and lower limbs. Skiers may have hemiplegia as a result of a stroke or brain injury, they may have amputations or a congenital disability.
World Championships
This year the World Championship was held in Townsville in May 2007. "BRILLIANT" is how the International Water Ski Federation (IWSF) Disabled Council described the worlds event in Townsville.
Most competitors at the 2007 World Disabled Titles in Townsville commented that it was at the most beautiful site and it was the most organised event they have ever attended. 14 Countries and 52 competitor's attended the ski event.
Australia, for the first time ever in the history of disabled world titles, placed second on the podium in the teams point score. This is a huge achievement to finally get ahead of the United States who have long been the leaders in the sport. The Australian Ski Able team always excel in the jump event, which is why they are known as the Flying Kangaroos.
How to get started
Ski Able is always looking for new skiers to join in this exciting sport. Most water ski clubs are willing to help teach a person with disability, so make contact with your local club.

Published on the 20/02/2014 | Written by Newsdesk
The Government's calculation of the baseline valuation of the New Zealand welfare system was a world first and now it is taking analytics even further in to the realms of predictive risk modelling...
Speaking at the SAS business analytics software users conference this week in Wellington, Cabinet Minister for Social Development Paula Bennett, revealed the importance of data analytics in achieving the Government's welfare reforms. Without the analytics to back up the facts, Bennett compared spending money on welfare to putting our finger in the air and throwing a whole lot of money at it and hoping.
As a result of the welfare reforms and use of data analytics, Bennett revealed that New Zealand now has the lowest number of youth not in employment, education or training, since 2008 and in the last 12 months alone, there has been a 9.4 percent drop in sole parents on the benefit – the largest drop in 20 years apart from in the mid-2000s when working for families came in.
"I've got Treasury wanting to give us money – that's unheard of – because they can see the results of it. We spent $330 million less on welfare in the last 12 months.
That's the kind of difference this stuff can make."
The reason we needed those reforms so much, Bennett told a packed auditorium of 250-plus delegates, is that 13 percent of the working age population was reliant on some sort of welfare in December 2010. 161,000 people had received a benefit for at least half of the previous ten years and 139,000 had spent more than a decade on benefit since 1993.
In a world first in 2011, Bennett and her team of analysts was able to calculate a baseline valuation of the welfare system by analysing, from a macro right down to an individual level, the information they already had. The result was a lifetime welfare liability of $78 billion.
They are now using analytics techniques such as segmenting and predictive risk modelling to identify and target those in most need. The results of the analysis have led to a radical reshape of Ministry assumptions. For example, 95 percent of Minister Bennett's budget was being spent on the unemployment benefit and support programmes for them, but analysis revealed that they only constituted five percent of the long-term liability. Conversely, there was a projected long-term liability of $1 billion for just 4000 16 and 17 year-olds. In the case of abuse and neglect, the Ministry has used predictive risk modelling to identify the children most at risk, revealing that 70 percent of the babies it expects to be working with are not even born yet.
"In a world where I have a limited budget, what analytics have absolutely given us is the means to invest more where it makes the biggest difference," Minister Bennett said. "It's pretty exciting when you can target and know that the money you are investing has the greatest likelihood of a positive result.
"I could not present a case to Treasury and to Government that we should be spending more earlier [for better outcomes], without the use of data analytics and information sharing. And I can tell you the change it's made is significant.
"I want you to know that government is catching up with business. We see the value in data analytics and the informations that we can get and the way it can be processed."

Free White Paper for VaneFlex pump connector...
Product Announcement from Metraflex Company
Free White Paper - Straighten flow, reduce turbulence in a fraction of the space.
New Vane Flex™ dramatically reduces pump turbulence and improves flow of your engineered piping system. A more compact, efficient solution to reduce turbulence and straighten flow, the new Vane Flex™ pump connector not only exceeds flow-straightening values recommended by all major manufacturers of balancing-type valves, it does it in a fraction of space.
Combining hydrodynamic-shaped vanes with a flexible pump connector, the Vane Flex maintains the full range of movement of a standard flexible connector, yet, at the same time and in the same space as a standard connector, provides better flow-straightening than a length of pipe equivalent to 5-to-10 diameters.
In addition, the Vane Flex provides the same stress relief and vibration in the same face-to-face as a standard pump connector.

EV Makes Impact in Dubai Club Scene
Liberty installed four EV Xi-1152/64 ceiling-mounted mains (two vertical, two horizontal) with four PX2181 subs, all powered by three CP4000S and one CP3000S amps and processed by three Dx38's. Four powered SxA250's act as stage monitors; four more serve as fills for the rear of the room.
"I would like to personally thank EV's engineers for designing the Xi-1152 and Phoenix PX2181 models!" says Mark Legaspi, Managing Director, Liberty Acoustic. "Ratsky sounds fantastic. Whether for a live band or a DJ, this is a seriously thumping system. The CP amps are incredible. Even though the club is wrapped in over eight inches of soundproofing to keep the sound isolated from guests elsewhere in the hotel, we still have enough horsepower on hand to shake up to the sixth floor. We even turned the system down 12dB and were still kicking loud and clear with 1000 people in the room-obviously headroom isn't an issue!"
"Now we design practically all our systems with EV equipment," Legaspi adds. "EV has the right products and the right people. That said, I'd like to express gratitude to Tony Sawyer of Bosch Communications Systems; as Tony is based in Dubai, he is able to offer the hands-on manufacturer support we need to address this rapidly growing market. EV has more than proven it has what it takes to keep up with Dubai's sonic demands-you can hear it for yourself at Ratsky!"

Arvin Industries May Be Ready To Revby
Big Board-listed Arvin Industries (ARV) is yet another profitable small-cap company that the bull market has ignored. Its stock has been on the skids since early summer, when it was trading at 44. It's now at 26, even though this maker of auto parts--exhaust systems, shock absorbers, and filters--has posted record earnings per share for the past 15 quarters. "With the entire auto-parts group in disfavor, Arvin is suffering from guilt by association," notes Ed Trumpbour, managing director at Brandywine Asset Management, which has accumulated Arvin shares. The stock is "enormously cheap," he says, based on its "enterprise value," cash flow, and price-earnings ratio.
With the consolidation in the industry, big players seeking to expand their aftermarket business may find Arvin irresistible, he adds. Arvin is a major producer of both original and aftermarket equipment. In the aftermarket, Arvin's brands include Maremont and Purolator. Trumpbour figures that in a lowball buyout deal, Arvin is worth 38 a share. But it could fetch 50, he adds, based on current deals.
Merrill Lynch analyst John Casesa says Arvin's aftermarket business is once again improving, and the company is raising prices on its products. Arvin has "improved profitability through restructuring and operational excellence," says Casesa. He figures Arvin will earn $3.69 a share this year and $4 in 2000.

show me your neatly wired panels?
1 Attachment(s)
I just wired my first 200 amp panel, with a 100 amp sub panel... please tell me what's wrong with it, if anything? it already passed inspection, but I'd like to know for future reference... and i'd love to see pictures of your most neatly wired panels, switch boxes (especially with 3+ gang, such as 5 gang 3 way switches) and any other interesting residential stuff...
I've read repeatedly on various forums that it's okay to have "more than one nm cable in certain connectors." so looking at my photos here, have i done this right? i just can't imagine how to neatly do this with twice as many connectors...
I am still going to neaten up the wires above the panels, even though those will be behind a soffit...
are there any other problems with this work that i should address?
as for overloading, i would like to note that many of these circuits are for things like high hats that will never use nearly 20 amps, and the inspector noted that...
The panel looks nice but that bowl of spaghetti on top needs some garlic and cheese.:laughing:
1 Attachment(s)
allow me to show you what it USED to look like, before I renovated it... it all started out on the stone wall to the left in this picture, and was an atrocious, scary mess... so i built this little panel wall so i could neaten it up... hopefully i'm going in the right direction at least.
Is this a residential location? That original setup is a disaster:eek:
Did you use the KO cover to cover up the unused KO's ??
And you should have NM nail on clip above the load centres withen 12 inches top of the load centre.
I have to dig up a photo what I did with large load centre { it have 3 panels yeah .,, 200 amp 3 phase set up 208Y120 volt set up }
How big this house this is ??
1 Attachment(s)
I have the knockout covers in a box. i'm putting them in this morning. there have to be 30 open knockouts :eek:.
as for nail on clips... do you mean like caddy cable grippers? i'm not sure if that's what you're talking about, but i plan to tackle the wire above the box today. i untangled it all before putting in the box, so hopefully nothing is crossing anymore. i know i should have worked from the top down, but (just look at that before picture) it was a daunting task to clean this all up. I think i have 20 lbs of extra wire that i can give to the recycler.
The cables need to be secured within 12" of the panel. Staples or stackers should be acceptable.
Whats the yellow right before each breaker ?
I think they labeled the circuit name of a piece of the NM jacket and slipped it over the wire.
1 Attachment(s)
Nice idea
Working in IT we had little plastic clips that could attach to wire for labeling purposes
NM sheath works just as well
I wasn't sure if there was a code reason for not having the sheathing in the panel
As I have always heard it should not extend more then an 1" or so inot the panel
I use an excel spreadsheet to outline everything a breaker shuts off
With an older house some circuits cover multiple rooms
As long as the labels are generic
IE ...not Johns bedroom...outlets near aquarium
My last house was labeled like that
1 Attachment(s)
No spagetti here!
I take no credit for this work; I don't even remember where I got the picture.
Gotta love wire prn haha.
In my panel, I put a map detail what each room was, and where the subpanel in the garage was... it included the words "You Are Here". All the electricians who've seen it got a kick out of that.
At the junction box in the attic, I have the spreadsheet of what each circuit does/goes.

Boulder or bust
Page Tools
The decor is off-the-wall, even bizarre, and the menu is eclectically Italian.
Open Tue-Fri, 6pm-late; Sat-Sun, 9am-late.
Tried Cavolfiori dorati fritti ($9.90), frittelline di mare ($13.90), casa di Cicciolina ($17.90), pollo arrosto ($19.90).
Bottom line for two $61.60
La Cicciolina was a porn "star" who stood, bare-breasted most of the time, for parliament in Italy in 1987 and married American pop culture artist Jeff Koons, later to feature famously in his series of shockingly hardcore sculptures. Not content with all that, she's now causing a bit of a stir in Newtown.
Many are the people who stop for a look, a point and a giggle outside her namesake restaurant on a busy strip that, you might imagine, has seen it all. The reason? The colleague who put me on to it describes it thus: "A geomorphic protuberance? 'Is it a giant nipple coming out of the wall?' asked my horrified sister ... the place looked nice enough if you have an Oedipal complex." A good tip, as it were.
So here we are, sitting directly beneath the huge pink ... excrescence. If that's a teat, then I'm your Auntie Mabel. It's certainly nipple-like but it's the sort of thing upon which a succubus would suckle.
It's easy to see from the street - it's easy to see from Ashfield - and thus all the pointing and giggling. It's either that or the spinach on Popsi's front tooth.
Indeed, the whole place is a little off the wall. There's the great pink thing on the wall, the art wall with the cutouts at the far end, three colour schemes (marbled blue-grey, marbled mustard-yellow and orange, and a decor that changes halfway through to a sort of faux-Flintstones-cum-Star Trek boulder effect. I like it; it's akin to eating on a Tim Burton film set.
The food isn't so schizophrenic. Firmly but eclectically Italian, it has echoes of another place we ate at last year - Amici's in Cammeray (and I discover later that it is owned by some of the same crowd).
And then, horror of horrors, the descriptions on the menu are so yummy that I order solely vegetarian dishes. Talk about bizarre; I am sitting under a giant nipple, ordering veggie food.
I break out into a cold sweat until Popsi - picking herself up from the floor - points out that many anchovies died to make the dip with my floured and fried cauliflower entree.
The cauliflower is terrific, as is Popsi's frittelline di mare, which is a shredded whitebait and calamari mixture which has been lightly battered and fried. Both dishes are piled high with enough rocket to put a man on the moon.
For mains I have the casa di Cicciolina - a layered concoction of roasted zucchini, eggplant, capsicum, sourdough bread and pine nuts - and Bubblehead tucks into a creamy, oven-roasted organic chicken breast. The chicken is perfectly fine, as are the vegetables. If we had one gripe, it's the over-reliance of bucketloads of rocket which, in turn, are a mite too heavily covered in oil.
It reminds me a little of a cartoon seen years ago, in which a cook on the battlements of a besieged castle, upon seeing the soldiers pour boiling oil on the attackers, screams: "I said drizzle!"

Use Tax Collection Requirements for Out-of-State Retailers Operative September 15, 2012
Assembly Bill 155 (AB 155), operative September 15, 2012, expands the types of out-of-state retailers that are required to register with the Board of Equalization (BOE) to collect and remit use tax on sales of tangible personal property to California. As a result of the expanded definition of who is engaged in business in California, more online retailers must register with BOE to collect tax.
When out-of-state retailers do not collect tax, California consumers are still required to report and pay the equivalent of sales tax, known as "use tax." Consumers can pay directly to the BOE using eReg or pay on their California income tax returns with the option of using BOE's Use Tax Lookup Table.
Consumer-Purchaser Information
What changed for consumers as a result of the new law?
This means consumers will see tax collected with their internet purchases as they as complete the sale online, in the same way tax is collected when they visit a local store.
Consumers will see more tax collected with their Internet purchases as they complete the sales online, in the same way tax is collected when they visit a local store. This will reduce the number of sales consumers need to keep track of and report themselves.
If purchases are made from an out-of-state retailer that is not registered to collect the tax, the purchaser is still required to report and pay the use tax.
How Do I Report Use Tax?
The purchaser may report and pay use tax:
- Directly to the State Board of Equalization by using BOE's electronic registration system (eReg); or
- Report and pay to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) when filing an annual State Income Tax Return. Follow the instructions provided in the FTB return instructions for the calendar year 2012 for forms 540 and 540A, and 540EZ. As part of reporting use tax on the State Income Tax Return, the purchaser may also choose to use the Use Tax Lookup Table.

|Werner Knaupp - SCHWARZ - WEISS
|Dear friends of Bode Gallery,
We are pleased to constitute the cooperation with Werner Knaupp with an exhibition of a new workseries.
You are cordially invited to the opening reception of the exhibition SCHWARZ - WEISS.
Monday, 16th May 2011, 7.00pm until 9.00pm
Introductory speech:
Prof. Dr. Kai Uwe Schierz
The artist will be present.
Exhibition runtime: 17th May until 11th June 2011
Monday to Saturday 10.00am to 6.00pm
The journeys to Iceland are a background to the development of this new workseries.
These paintings are telling of a forbidding nature. The beholder can't take a save position but he is involved into the event which becomes comprehensible in a nearly physical way. These pictures of a overwhelming nature could be traced back to Knaupp's confrontation with the force of nature while his journeys. The experience of this force pushes the limits of human being and evokes primal fear.
With the abdication of colours the artworks reach dynamic. This foots on the consistecy of colour and on the changing between reality and abstraction.
In an art historical view the new black and white paintings detached themselves from traditional landscape painting. Werner Knaupp implements the pure force of nature into pure painting, to visualise the force fields of nature. The beholder experiences with these artworks a nature without human dimension. In Werner Knaupp's Oeuvre the "Westmen-Isles"-paintings are a new expression of his examination with existential fundamental questions.
The work of Werner Knaupp is also represented with these solo-exhibitions:
Neues Museum in Nuremberg
from 11th May 2011
Opening reception: 6.00pm
Kunstmuseum Bayreuth
Wasser und Feuer
up to the 19th June 2011

Breen happy to take new direction
Craig Breen made his own little piece of history when he won the Toddsleap.com Rally NI last August, the first driver to win a round of the British championship in a Super 2000 car.
But tonight Breen will set out one last time in the M-Sport Ford Fiesta as he tackles the opening round of the 2011 World championship, Rally Sweden.
Afterwards the 21-year-old from Waterford will become part of the new WRC Academy, one of 24 young drivers who will contest six rounds of the World championship in identical R2 Fiestas.
It means a switch back to two-wheel-drive but Breen, like Alistair Fisher, another Academy member who is stepping down from four-wheel-drive cars, believes it is a move in the right direction.
"It is time to move on to the next stage of my career," he said. "I will miss the S2000 Fiesta and I intend to have one last fling in the Swedish snow but winning a place in the Academy is too good an opportunity to miss."
He has mapped out a huge 18-event programme using a pair of R2 Fiestas. However, it doesn't include Rally NI which clashes with a WRC Academy appearance on Rally Deutschland.
Breen is joined in the Swedish starting list tonight by Eamonn Boland who drives a Mitsubishi Lancer and by Ballyclare co-driver Chris Patterson who will be alongside Petter Solberg in one of the new 1600cc turbocharged Citroen DS3s.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo approves Binghamton NYSUNY 2020 plan
August 8, 2012Tweet
Gov. Andrew Cuomo today announced approval of Binghamton University's NYSUNY 2020 challenge grant proposal that rests on two objectives: construction of a $70 million, state-of-the-art Smart Energy Research and Development Facility and the addition of 2,000 students, 150 faculty and 175 professional and support staff to develop new and strengthen existing academic programs.
"About two hours ago, we were contacted by the governor's office and told our plan was formally adopted and approved," said Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger at a 1 p.m. news conference at the University's Innovative Technologies Complex. "It was a long path to get here and I thank Donna Lupardo and Tom Libous because it was a team effort from day one.
"This starts the process for designing and constructing a new building in the area of renewable energy, as well as the addition of students, faculty and staff," he added. "This will allow us to expand our academic programs and add new jobs. It's quite exciting."
Under the plan, Binghamton will receive $35 million in capital construction funds for the smart energy facility and be able to implement a rational tuition plan to support the hiring of new researchers and faculty, expansion of academic offerings and facilities, development of public/private research partnerships and expansion of technology development in high-tech fields.
"The Binghamton University plan will maximize the economic impact that one of New York's most prominent university centers has on the Empire State," Cuomo said. "I look forward to seeing the plan in action, as Binghamton University creates jobs on campus and throughout the Southern Tier, enhances New York's energy-smart infrastructure and alternative energy research portfolio, and gives more students access to a top quality public higher education that is second to none in the nation and around the world."
The Binghamton University Smart Energy Research and Development Facility will create more than 840 new full-time jobs in the Southern Tier by 2017, and annually attract $7 million in additional funding for energy research. The facility will promote collaboration with and among major firms doing business in the region, with a focus on four key areas of alternative energy research: solar and thermoelectric energy harvesting, energy storage, energy efficiency in electronic systems and sensor development for energy resource management.
"The smart energy facility will be the fourth building at Binghamton's Innovative Technologies Complex," said Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo at the news conference. "Binghamton is one of the top research facilities not only in the state, but across the country and is doing top-notch, state-of-the-art research. This further connects Binghamton with the work of the Regional Development Council and for partnering with others."
"With an estimated economic impact of $1 billion by 2017, the Binghamton University plan not only meets but far exceeds the NYSUNY 2020 challenge and promises to greatly enhance the University's services to students, faculty, and staff as well as its partnerships in the Southern Tier and throughout New York," SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher said. "NYSUNY 2020 represents a fantastic opportunity for SUNY and for New York state, and we are thrilled by the remarkable progress this partnership with Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature has enabled our campuses to make as this initiative has moved forward."
"The entire Binghamton University community thanks Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Chancellor Nancy Zimpher for their help making Binghamton University's NYSUNY 2020 proposal a reality," Stenger said. "Approval of the challenge grant puts Binghamton University and the Southern Tier region on an exciting path of growth. This NYSUNY 2020 plan will help us realize a number of goals that are important to New York state — to create jobs, enhance education and encourage research that drives new technologies. Most importantly, it will build on the synergy of our two main objectives, to enhance the academic quality of the University and have a significant economic impact on the Southern Tier. Binghamton University is proud that the governor and the chancellor value the work it is doing and have provided the opportunity to implement this progressive plan."
The Challenge Grant Program, including a rational tuition policy, is part of the NYSUNY 2020 legislation signed by the governor in August 2011. A joint program between the state and SUNY, the legislation allows each SUNY campus to raise tuition by $300 per year for five years, replacing an era of sudden tuition increases with a system that is predictable and empowers students and parents to plan for college expenses.
In addition, under the legislation, Binghamton and the three other University Centers (Albany, Buffalo and Stony Brook) can also raise tuition by an additional three percent annually for five years. With today's approval, Binghamton becomes the third University Center, along with Buffalo and Stony Brook, to implement its plan.
New tuition revenue will allow Binghamton to increase enrollment by 2,000 students over the next four years, lowering its student: faculty ratio from 21:1 to 19:1.

The Main 3D Contender?
With even Toshiba's respectable 3D showing only ultimately feeling like a fun gimmick, though, it fell to Panasonic to save 3D's bacon.
Panasonic has become 3D's most vocal supporter over the past couple of years, and this year its early adoption of the new format paid dividends in two ways.
First, it actually had some 'real' - rather than mere concept - 3D products to show. These included the latest version of Panasonic's 3D-modified Blu-ray player and, more intriguingly, the brand's first commercial 3D-capable TV. This set is an all-new 50in plasma model, scheduled to launch in 2010, that's able to show Panasonic's preferred sequential frame 3D system, where the left and right eye images appear very rapidly one after another and get 'brought together' by a pair of actively shuttering 3D glasses.
The other big benefit of Panasonic's devotion to 3D was that the quality of its 3D images was comfortably ahead of the competition.
Every 3D source the brand had on show, from some eye-catching shots of F1 racing to an exclusive trailer reel for James Cameron's 3D 'event' film, Avatar (hitting cinemas in December), looked a model of stability and clarity versus all the other 3D engines on show. The absence from Panasonic's 3D images of the really quite nasty ghosting phenomenon witnessed so regularly elsewhere around the CEATEC floor is particularly welcome.
So how come Panasonic's 3D pictures are so much better than anyone else's at the moment? Because, I presume, the R&D dosh the brand has clearly been throwing like confetti at their 3D ambitions has enabled it to come up with three key 3D-friendly technological innovations.
Perhaps the single most important of these developments is a plasma panel with a much faster discharge time rate than anything Panasonic has produced before. New phosphors combined with improved adaptive control of the image's luminance mean that plasma cells suffer less 'afterglow' and can thus cope much better with the very rapid image cycling demanded by the sequential frame 3D system.
Next up is a crosstalk noise reduction system, while finally Panasonic was claiming - with some justification, so far as I could tell - that its Active Shutter glasses also reduce crosstalk thanks to a new shutter timing system optimised to coincide with plasma's illumination methods.

At the root of this epidemic lay simple social engineering tactics designed, through various methods, to convince victims to pay for peace of mind. Responsible for the actual infections are pieces of malicious code that the software industry refers to under a variety of monikers, including rogue antivirus, fake antivirus, scareware, etc.Microsoft has put together a list containing no less than 114 AV rogues which are detected by the company's antivirus products, including Microsoft Security Essentials, Forefront Client Security, etc. It is important to note that the list contains only the official label provided by the software giant. Each of the items featured below come in a variety of packages and under a plethora of brands, which actually makes the number of fake antivirus in the wild much larger. Users that have doubts related to a security solution that is being aggressively advertised to them should first check to make sure that the offering is indeed genuine. Microsoft, but also additional members of the security industry, constantly update information on threats posed to end users, including rogue antivirus, and publish it on websites that are available to the public. These details are available to the public, and are essentially no more than a search away, at any given time. "On page 100 of our Security Intelligence Report volume 7, we observed that rogues remained a significant threat even though they trended down to 13.4 million infected computers in 1H09 from 16.8 million in 2H08. (Internet Explorer 8 SmartScreen Filter, a browser-based security feature, contributed to part of the decline),†revealed Scott Wu, from MMPC. Modus Operandi "Rogue security softwareâ€â€software that displays false or misleading alerts about infections or vulnerabilities on the victim's computer and offers to fix the supposed problems for a priceâ€â€has become one of the most common methods that attackers use to swindle money from victims. These are programs that masquerade as legitimate security programs offering protection from malware, spyware, and other threats, but actually use social engineering to obtain money from victims, and offer poor or nonexistent protection,†the Redmond company reveals in SIRv7. Fake antivirus will take it upon itself to run a scan of computers belonging to unsuspecting users. Of course that the scan itself and the results offered are both fake. Rogue AV doesn't actually analyze machines, nor is it capable of detecting any malware, or to remove it. It's all smoke and mirrors, a show put on to trick users into thinking that their computers is infected with malicious code. "Rogue security software programs typically mimic the general look and feel of legitimate security software, claiming to detect a large number of nonexistent threats and urging the user to "activate†the software to remove them. Some families emulate the appearance of the Windows Security Center or unlawfully use trademarks and icons to misrepresent themselves. Rogue security software spreads through familiar malware distribution mechanisms, like spam and exploits, and through customized tactics, like a fake Webbased security scanner. After installation, some rogue security software families take other actions to evade detection or to frighten the user into paying,†Microsoft explains. Once installed on a Windows PC, fake antivirus programs will attempt to scare the user into believing that various infections were detected. Rogue security solutions are designed to look very similar to genuine AV products, often copying at least elements of the graphical user interface, if not the whole UI, as well as using brands and labels mimicking, or even plagiarizing valid security offerings. And integral part of the social engineering tactics deployed is to convince the user that the rogue AV is a genuine security solution, when in fact, much to the contrary, it is only masquerading as such. The fake AV will bombard users with alerts, and annoying, repetitive, incessant notifications, reporting inexistent infections. At the same time, the rogue AV advertises the possibility of removing the fake infections, provided that users buy the software. Once a license is acquired, the fake AV ceases from delivering fake reports, creating the illusion that whatever malware had compromised the computer, was removed. Obviously, in this scenario, the users have been scammed into paying for protection against an inexistent threat. "Though fooling users into paying for worthless software remains the primary goal of most rogue security software, several recently released families have begun to branch out and exhibit behaviors common to other threats, such as downloading additional malware to a victim's computer. Win32/Winwebsec has been observed to download Win32/Koobface which itself sometimes displays pop-up advertisements for rogue security software. Win32/InternetAntivirus, which was added to the MSRT in June 2009, downloads the password stealer Win32/Chadem,†the company added. Protection "As we have done in the past, we again encourage our readers to run a complete, up to date AV product such as Microsoft Security Essentials to protect their computers from these rogues, especially if located in English speaking countries - the regions where these rogues appear most active (as highlighted in the SIR). MSRT is a baseline tool we provide for the ecosystem to remove prevalent threats such as high profile rogues. With Security Essentials, on the other hand, you get the benefit of the complete AV signature set from the MMPC and you get the essential protection features an AV solution needs – real time, kernel mode detection, scheduled scan, complicated cleaning functionalities to address the em114 Windows "antivirus†to avoid at all costs 1.

Sissy went to see her boyfriend Sam today the one who sprained his ankle and he's able to WALK WITHOUT CRUTCHES AND PUT WEIGHT ON HIS FOOT!!! ;) Sissy was so happy when she saw that! Angels keep hovering! Maybe even drop him some hints about prom?
Sister is sad and worried sick about her boyfriend right now. It's his bday today so mom was at his house and when it was time for her to go home his sister was gonna give her a ride and he was gonna come with being the awsome boyfriend that he is. Well as soon as he got out the door his foot slipped off the step and they think he may have broken his ankle. His sister gave mom a ride home and as soon as she got in she called her boyfriend and he was on the way to the hospital. Sister is so worried about him! Not to mention that she feels bad now because early he asked what would happen if he didn't wanna go to prom and she said "tough because she'd go anyways with or without him." Prom is May 3 and if he did break his ankle then he'll be on crouches for atleast 6 weeks and that would be hard to goto prom. Early when she said that it was cuz he was teasing her.
Dont blame yourself Sis because there was no way you could've predictied that happening.
Well I'm off to Hartford,WI to hover over Sam at the hospital. Blacky could you hover over sis and make sure she is ok?
If any pups want to help hover we'd appreciate it.
Hey pups! Wow sister just realized she hasn't helped me type to ya'll since June! I got lots to tell ya!
VA Tech
Yes I feel I should talk about this I'm guessing theres a few people wondering where our boss dude was when this happened. Theres somethings that just can't be stopped and sadly this was one of them. Blacky,Kali and myself along with every other RB creature were waiting at the bridge to personally meet all the people who fell victim to this act of violence. This is a school that sister wanted to go to and still wants to go to if she could ever afford tuition. You're probably wondering why after this happened? Simple, this could happen ANYWHERE at ANY school(even the safest most guarded school). Sister understands that you could hate the person that did this because she hates him to; so much so that she can't beleive a local collage rang their bell 33 times when he was 33rd person to die that day. But hating an entire race? Thats like hating a certain breed because of something one dog did. Sister takes personal offence to this because she has friends that are korean! You can this guy and everyone else but that won't change what happened. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this. We can only imagine how hard this is for you. Please know that us bridge doggies and kitties are up here hovering and my siblings are doing double time between you and mom whose in the hospital!
Now that I've got that off my chest I would like to ask you to take a moment of silence for everyone whose lives have been lost.
Off to better news: Sister updated my page! See?
Well Blacky is chasing Kali again so I gotta run!

Nickle Electrical reached a remarkable milestone in company history March 13. Through continuing education classes and perpetual execution of safety procedures, Nickle employees have worked 1 million man-hours without a lost-time accident. It is an achievement reached thanks to the company's dedicated personnel who work hard to keep themselves and others out of danger.
"One million hours proves that we can get the job done safely and on time," said Nickle Safety Director Mike Anderson, CHST. "At the end of the day, it's about sending our employees home safely while keeping the company profitable."
Within the past three years, Nickle's experience modification rate has been cut nearly in half to .693, lower than industry average. A company's EMR is a comparison between payroll dollars and the value of any workers' compensation claims - the lower the EMR, the better.
To continue successfully avoiding injuries such as shocks, burns and falls, a Safety Plan for 2013 has been put into place. Strategies for this year's plan include distributing a follow-up safety perception survey to all employees for feedback, written safety audits to be conducted by the Safety Department on a weekly basis, and implementing a company-wide Stretch and Flex program to reduce injuries on and off the job, lower medical costs and enhance production.
"I am extremely proud of every employee's commitment to safety and their devotion to looking out for the well-being of their coworkers," said CEO/President Steve Dignan. "They should be proud of themselves; after all, they are the individuals that collectively worked the million hours."
Nickle Electrical Companies was founded in 1987 by the late Paul Allen Nickle as Paul A. Nickle Inc. Electrical Contractors. Current owners Steve and Debbie Dignan acquired the company in 1991, and in 2008 the name was changed to Nickle Electrical Companies to better represent the company as a whole. Its commitment to these values has been integral to the successful procurement of more than 20 ABC Excellence in Construction awards.
