Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
In terms of the requirements for the offering circular in California, do I need to have audited financials for my business before I franchise?
Federal law and CA law will govern the requirements of the disclosure document. In either case you must have audited financial statements if the company that is franchising has been in business for more than a year or two. If your franchise company is new (created to franchise the business), then you can have merely an unaudited opening balance sheet the initial year.
With that said, you should have the guidance and expertise of an experienced franchise attorney to advise you and to prepare the documents. Franchise law is quite complex and not something that you, or an inexperienced attorney, should attempt to handle.
Please feel free to call me (215-525-1165 x101) if you have further questions.
This response does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not intended to provide legal advice for your specific situation.Ask a similar question
The FTC Franchise Rule and the California Franchise Investment Law both require a franchisor to provide audited financials for the prior three years as part of the franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document. The Franchise Rule does provide, however, that a "start-up franchisor" that does not yet have audited financial statements can phase-in the use of the audited statements over a three-year period. Under the Rule, the franchisor can provide an unaudited opening balance sheet during the franchisor's first partial or full fiscal year selling franchises.
Having said that, some of the franchise registration states WILL NOT accept unaudited financial statements from a start-up franchisor. California is usually one of those states; most of the California examiners (at least in my experience) will not accept anunaudited opening balance sheet, even from a start-up franchisor, and will instead require the balance sheet to be audited if you plan to register there.
One of the things you should also consider is creating a separate legal entity for your franchising company. This is advisable for a number of reasons, and it has the additional benefit of making your initial audit easier for the CPA. You really should discuss these issues with legal counsel experienced in franchise law.Ask a similar question
As a franchise attorney , helping companies franchise a business concept and advising individuals, as a franchise expert, on making franchise investments, as well as a former owner of a very successful franchise, I can say the following.
It depends on how you set things up - as always, the Devil is in the details. There is a way for you to avoid audited financials and still comply with California (and federal) franchise laws. This is not an area you want to try on your own or use your "business attorney" to deal with. Besides the financials, there are numerous other areas and issues to consider where the do-it-right approach will not only save significant money, but also result is a much better franchise program. Of course, this requires the experience of a knowledgeable franchise attorney familiar with the legal, financial and business aspects of franchising.
Good luck !

Director of Operations - Mr. Franchise
Contrary to what my learned colleague from Las Vegas says, California will accept an unaudited financial. I recently completed a registration in California with an unaudited financial. But, as I said, the Devil is in the details - knowing the California regulations inside out and knowing how to deal with the examining attorney assigned to the file. A few of us know how, others don't.
If your business is new to franchising then you may not need audited financial statements. However my recommendation is that at a minimum you start off with an audited opening balance sheet. However the requirements vary and require an assessment as to the prior business history of your franchise company. The following article provides an additional summary, however ultimately you do need to review this issue with a franchise lawyer.

YOU DO NOT NEED AUDITED STATEMENTS FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR FRANCHISING IN CALIFORNIA AS PROVIDED BELOW. I have CA CPA contacts that can do this for new CA franchisors, if you want to contact me off line. I would be glad to give you a free consultation of what else you would need to do to start franchising your business in CA. firstname.lastname@example.com
(2) A start-up franchise system that does not yet have audited financial statements
may phase-in the use of audited financial statements by providing, at a minimum, the following
statements at the indicated times:
(i) The franchisor's first partial or full fiscal year selling franchises: NEED An unaudited opening balance sheet.
(ii) The franchisor's second fiscal year selling franchises: NEED Audited balance sheet opinion as of the end of the first partial or full fiscal year selling franchises.
(iii) The franchisor's third and subsequent fiscal years selling franchises: NEED
All required financial statements for the previous fiscal year, plus any previously disclosed audited statements that still must be disclosed according to paragraphs (1)(i) and (ii) of this Item 21.
(iv) Start-up franchisors may phase-in the disclosure of audited financial statements, provided the franchisor:
(A) Prepares audited financial statements as soon as practicable.
(B) Prepares unaudited statements in a format that conforms as closely as possible to audited statements.
(C) Includes one or more years of unaudited financial statements or clearly and
conspicuously discloses in this section that the franchisor has not been in business for three years
or more, and cannot include all financial statements required in paragraphs (1)(i) and (ii) of this
Item 21.
The foregoing is for informational purposes only and may not be relied on as attorney-client advice.Ask a similar question
I agree with Ms. Martin that California does not require the financial statements to be audited, but the state requires that even a start-up franchisor provide EITHER audited financial statements OR financial statements that have been "reviewed" by a CPA in accordance with AICPA standards. (Regulation 310.111)
California allows the use of "reviewed" financial statements for a newly-formed franchisor entity for the first FDD. While reviewed financial statements still require the use of an independent CPA, the level of oversight by the CPA is much less than for audited financial statements.
If you may be offering franchises in Maryland, Minnesota, New York or Virginia, then you might as well get audited statements from the start, as these states require audited statements for all franchisors.

What is our Friendship?
I wrote this for my friend for graduation! Let me know what you think!
What is our Friendship?
What is our friendship, you may ask,
Well summing it up is no simple task!
But have no fear I've got it figured out,
I'll tell you what our friendship is all about.
Our Friendship looks like crazy hair,
And walking around like we just don't care.
It has tons of wacky photo days,
Followed by some baseball games.
If you think that's all, don't fret,
I've barely even started yet!
Our Friendship smells like apple pie,
and hanging out on the 4th of July.
Its got plenty of spontaneous quarter days,
Created by your very own Maize!
And without you, who would I dance with?
Or have a crazy Bromance with?
Our Friendship is about making faces in the most public places,
and running around like sharks on land
(when really the fin is only our hand)
My friend what am I gonna do,
Off at college without you?
Our friendship sounds like your iPod,
cranked up loud with the top down.
Going to get all dressed up,
for dances that only play POP!
So my friend don't you see?
Our friendship is sweet like tea.
Made up with all the things we did,
I wouldn't change anything kid!
So now you know and don't you doubt,
What our Friendship is all about!
(we out.)

Mission Day
My first thought as I woke up was " Crap! I didn't pack my bag!"
I had unpacked it and had fallen asleep before I packed it again. After spending several minutes frantically throwing random things into my bag it was already ten minutes until it was time to go.
"Well, so much for being prepared," I thought.
It was almost time to go and i still had to find Calamity. I ended up finding her in her favorite spot, the laundry basket. It took her a whole ten seconds to run downstairs and knock over all the chairs at the table.
"You retarded dog!" I yelled after her.
Of course, this got me in trouble with mom who thought that the dog never did a thing wrong.
' Sophia, I need to talk to you." my dad said sternly.
"Uh, ok," I said nervously, this couldn't be good.
"Sophia, there has been a horrible accident." he said nervously " Well, you see they accidentally sent Bianca to the Forgotten Time."
" What! Are you kidding me!' I yelled at him.
The Forgotten Time was a horrible time, the worst of them all. It's where the most awful things from every time congregated. There has been one man who has come back from the Forgotten Time and he was dead shortly after they found him.
My brother dissapeared there too. He was convinced that part of the cube was there. After tricking the officials, he dissapeared forever to the Forgotten Time.
" I know this is hard, but your going to have to still go on your mission." My dad said gently.
" I am not going without Bianca!" I said angrily.
" You will go Sophia, this is not a game, we have to put the cube back together." he said angrily.
I knew there was no use arguing with him.
" Fine I'll go." I said pointedly not looking at him.
"They changed your mission day to tomorow and you have a new partner, Michael Rander from Kentucky. He'll meet us there in the morning." He informed me.
"Ok, I'm going to my room." I told him glaring angrily at him, even though i knew it wasn't his fault.
I went up to my room and laid down. Before I fell asleep my last thought was
" I'll go on my mission, but it will be to find Bianca."
After that I slept the rest of the day.

The Intrinsic Value Of Elephants Far Supersede Their Monetary Value
Elephant owners, including temples in Kerala have come under intense scrutiny after illegal ivory traders confessed that they bought tusks of captive elephants from the state. A popular daily in India reports, one of the traders was arrested in New Delhi, after law enforcement authorities raided his home and seized 487 kilos of ivory worth more than 120,000,000 Indian Rupees i.e. $1.8 million USD.
India's wild elephants are also under siege, fueled by the transnational ivory trade. According to media reports, in the past 10 months poachers slaughtered around 20 elephants in Kerala, and in the past two years more than 100 of them across southern India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka states).
This is of grave concern as India is a global hot spot for the endangered Asian elephants. According to Dr. Raman Sukumar, a world renowned elephant expert featured in my documentary Gods in Shackles:
"India holds about 30,000 wild elephants and 50 per cent of those elephants are found in Southern India. And in the whole of Asia, the estimate is approximately 50,000 elephants. India holds about 60 per cent of the global population of the Asian elephants in the wild."
India has a moral obligation to save this global treasure. But sadly, elephants are being captured illegally from the wild for the illicit ivory trade, and exploited commercially. Kerala has more than 700 captive elephants, mostly male, the largest number in any given Indian state. Most of these elephants are leased out like commodities, for cultural festivals, as temples and owners make hundreds of thousand of dollars per festival season as I previously wrote on The Huffington Post.
People seem to have become so blinded by their quest for material wealth, power and status quo, that they can't seem to recognize the intrinsic values of elephants.Elephants are a keystone species, which means the survival of other species in the forest ecosystem depends on the elephants. In an email interview with me, Petter Granli, Co-founder and Executive Director of Elephant Voices said, elephants are "constant gardeners", as they graze and/or browse for up to 18 hours a day on 100-400 different species of plants, barks, roots, depending on their habitat.
"Seeds pass through their system and get left behind along their trails. Many ecosystems would collapse or dramatically change character if the elephants disappeared - they have an amazing seed dispersal capacity."
Due to their ability to disperse seeds across vast areas, the forest ecosystems have high density of trees and plants that produce oxygen that we need to survive, and take in carbon-di-oxide, acting as natural air purifiers. Without this widespread dispersal, the seeds will drop beneath the tree and decay or get eaten by other creatures.Clearly, the inherent values of elephants far exceed that which humans place on them. Furthermore, these values have existed long before humans discovered them. But even more awe inspiring are the spiritual values that elephants naturally possess, and humans can certainly emulate in their daily lives. According to Granli,
"Elephants are highly intelligent, long-lived animals, with feelings and empathy. They are self-aware and aware of death, they think ahead and about the past. They grieve and show their pain and losses, and have a huge social network they interact with. Each means something for many others and many will feel sad or even traumatized when an individual is no more. It is very clear to me that elephants are incredibly valuable in their own rights."
Gods in Shackles is a feature length investigative documentary film that highlights the intrinsic values of elephants, while exposing their commercial exploitation under the guise of culture and religion. This film features a heartwarming story of Lakshmi, a temple elephant who displayed immense reverence for another sentient being. During our walk to the temple where she works, we noticed a dead cat on the road. She paused respectfully before its body, contemplated for a few seconds, and then stepped aside carefully, even as the oblivious drivers drove over the cat's little corpse. Lakshmi is but one of seven temple elephants featured in the film.

The ethics of nature dictates that humans are no more intrinsically valuable than any other living being and should see themselves as equal members of Earth's community. We need to revere all life and expand our moral responsibility to include every living being.In his published article Environmental Ethics, Rolmes Rolston III an American philosophy professor, dispels the notion that human beings are the only species capable of valuing nature. He says every single organism is capable of using its own intrinsic value for the survival of its species. Arne Naess, a Norwegian philosopher who coined the term Deep Ecology, says,
Hans Jonas, a twentieth century German Philosopher, advocates the concept of responsibility towards the planet and all its inhabitants. According to Jonas, humans have not fully understood the consequences of the extinction of non-human species, as their swift actions fail to consider long term implications.
"the value of non-human life-forms is independent of the usefulness of the non-human world for human purposes".
"The gap between the ability to foretell and the power to act creates a novel moral problem" (Jonas, 1984, p. 7).
Closing this gap is a moral imperative during a very critical period in our planet's history. Perhaps this is our last best chance to save the endangered Asian elephants.

Correction: A previous version of this piece stated that law enforcement authorities seized 487 kilos of ivory worth more than $120,000,000, when it was actually 120,000,000 Indian Rupees.

Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh told local media that he would be looking at both European and American options as the New York Red Bulls continue to vet their coaching prospects.
Could Tony Meola be on that short list?
Though he doesn't have professional coaching experience in the top ranks, the Hall of Fame goalkeeper has a history in New York both with the Metrostars and as a member of the Red Bulls. He has consistently trained MLS goalkeepers throughout the years and has also been heavily involved in U.S. soccer youth development. His wish to enter the professional coaching ranks is also no secret, most recently telling NY Times reporter Clemente Lisi he "wants to coach at the highest level."
Meola met with Red Bulls President Jerome de Bontin and expressed his desire to return to the team. Though coy about his intentions, he revealed another meeting would take place shortly between him and senior Red Bull officials.
"I'm going to meet again with Red Bull," Meola told SBI. "I did speak to (Red Bulls Global Director of Soccer) Houllier briefly in New York and Los Angeles. We have known we will sit down with Red Bull brass after the MLS Cup." Houllier, who has reportedly traveled back to Europe, would not be part of those meetings.
"I think it's time for me to get involved," he continued. "I've taken time figuring out what the right situation was and this hopefully will be what I hope to be the right situation."
There has been a disconnect between both former player and organization since his departure back in 2007. "Well when I played at Red Bull, it was the beginning stages," he recounted. "We didn't really get a great feel for the organization. When they finally did the stadium, and everything changed, I had zero contact with Red Bull. They never once called me. Matter of fact, when I finally had contact through another coach in the league that called me, he said 'Hey, you need to go tall to Erik Soler. He didn't know you were living in New Jersey!'
"I was flying in under the radar," he conceded, "but when (management) changed, I wanted to make a point of trying to find a friend to introduce me to Jerome. I wanted to make a point to introduce myself to Jerome to at least to say I live in New Jersey! That's how the whole thing started."
Once Meola had his desired audience, he made an impassioned pitch to return. "They are looking for guys who care about the organization, who understand the organization, understand the area," he said. "I told them look, I have one thing that burns in my stomach every day of my life and I don't regret a lot – I don't regret anything I did in soccer really – except that I never won a championship in New York.
"I don't care how far you look," he continued, "you will never find somebody that it burns more than me. I'll never have the opportunity again as a player but I may have the opportunity in another way and I want to explore that."
Sources close to the situation say his name has been discussed, but as part of a larger scale plan to revamp the coaching staff. Interim coach Mike Petke continues to be in the team's long term plans but not necessarily as the eventual head coach. This week, another post opened with the firing of goalkeeping coach Todd Hoffard. Meola has shown no desire to take up a goalkeeping coach position. He is looking for something bigger.
"Jerome knows where I think I can help out both on and off the field and it's up to them to figure out where I would fit into their plans if any," he concluded. "I don't know what will happen. I know I told Jerome that I think I can help in a few areas and those areas I will keep between him and I and the rest of the group when I meet them.
"I'm looking forward to having a discussion and seeing what the thoughts are."
Don Ho
The Imperative Voice
Except does he have any head coaching experience anywhere? I could see him feeling like GK coach is beneath him but usually you don't jump past a first division assistant's job or a minor league (Wynalda, Rennie), college (Porter), or youth club head coach gig, to running a first division team.
never said "head coach"did it? I could see him as an assistant.
Not sure how he would be as a coach, but I've heard he is a bit of a jerk.
He is the coach of his son's [terrible] youth soccer team and I've reffed them a few times. He is one of the most annoying coaches I've ever reffed as he non-stop complains about ticky tack fouls the entire game. On top of that his team is terrible which reflects is possible ineptitude as a coach
interesting, i've heard the same
Surely he is no John Harkes…what a great radio pair!
I don't know if he'd be a great coach, but I'd sure love to bring back a former Metro/Red Bull great. He's got the passion, totally excites me!
Grow the pony-tail back and then we can talk…
NJ Guy No Longer Stuck in DC
Typical Tony – just like the Yankees were interested and he was going to be the next Jets kicker. For some reason he thinks the media attention will get him somewhere
Yeah just what the RB's need a coach with zero experience. He needs to humble himself and start at the 'lowest level' and work his way up. If he were well thought of he would already be working in the game…John Harkes had the same problem, no body really wanted him on their staff.
Tony is a hometown hero and he'd be welcomed as part of the coaching staff, but I seriously doubt he's ready for a head coach position, especially at such a high profile club as RBNY.
Highly doubt he would be considered for the Red Bulls for a head coaching position. Goalkeeping is another story.
Just what we need. A super douche with no head coach experience at the helm. God please go away Tony. Bon Jovi needs a roadie.
Brain Guy
This is a non-story — more about Meola's wishes than about RBNY's plans. He might catch on as GK coach, but that's all.
Harkes' Balls
Petke was brought on as a coach with no experience, and has been (it seems) a good addition to the squad. Wolyniec was also given a gig as a coach with the youth team, which is nice that they are keeping some of the local guys around.
If Meola has been involved with the USYNT, let him be the academy goalie coach. If he's the goalie coach of the senior team, it's probably not the end of the world since he has been around and has tons of playing experience, but, yeah, I'd rather have an actual experienced coach for the senior keepers, since Robles is still getting his feet wet in MLS and Meara is a second year player with half a year's experience in MLS. Both need quality coaching.
Give him an assistant position somewhere with a short term contract. Let him get some experience and all the while right the ship when it comes to RBNY's poor record of promoting their own through the ranks. If nothing comes of it and he turns out to not be a great presence, don't extend his contract and everything will be move along.
Anybody going to the papers to lobby for a job is likely either delusional or not very bright.
Meola would be the best train wreck ever. I say hire him for amusement so we can watch the biggest disaster in redbull.metro history unfold. Think of the fun.

In memorial of the most senior chief monk of the Shaolin Temple China, the Great Grand Master, the Chan (Zen) Spiritual Leader, upper Su lower Xi
The Great Grand Master passed away 11:20 on March 8th, 2006. His spirit remains indefinately among us giving us, inspiring us and motivating us to travel on the path of Chan and peace.
Great Grand Master Shi SuXi September 27, 1924 - February 9, 2006 (Chinese Lunar Calendar)
Tens of thousands of People from all over the world came for the 7-day and 7-night farewell service. During his active lifetime, he was the ethical and moral authority of Chan Buddhists, the number one senior chief Monk of the Shaolin Temple, the family head of Shaolin Temple Southern Yard. He has been regarded as a living "Bodhisattva by millions". September 27, 1924 - February 9, 2006 (Chinese Lunar Calendar). He was 82.
It was this great man who helped the villagers going through tough times; it was this great man who would always be concerned their welfares and their well-being and their livelihood. It was this great man giving so much to them and wanted nothing in return. It was this great man who let the Shaolin monks living harmoniously with the villagers and local residents whose families worked for the temple for centuries when this great master was in charge of the temple. This is the man who is a true monk never desiring any power but providing great service and showed his true compassion to others. The great grand master passed on after 70 years of his service to the people and the temple. His departure closed a chapter of this generation of the Shaolin history.
De Yang and De Jian, De Zhao, De Chao wearing black Jia Sha (Zhang Qin) with me along with other Kungfu brothers and nephews at my arrival.
I lit up three incense, bowing on my knees as I always do seeing Shifu.
There were hundreds and thousands of people in and outside of the courtyard, chanting "Na Muo Ah Mi Tuo Fu" The chanting continued from the first day when Shifu passed away until the final day of the mourning service. The chanting and praying echoed over the mountains of Song Shan 24 hours a day for 7 days and 7 nights around the clock.
Deyang, De Jian and I attended the last farewell service performed by Chief Masters and Abbots of various temples from other part of China on14th night with a few other Kungfu family members, disciples.
Three Chief Masters and Abbots from others Temples and mountains simultaneously performed 5-hours' Buddhist departure services for my Shifu. For 5 hours the services continued with Buddhists Sutra chanting, Sutra reading and Buddhist music to see the Great Master to the West Nirvana Land. Each one of us, in every a few minutes, lit up a stick of incense deeply bowing on our knees to see and pray the Great man in peace and happiness in Nirvana.
The service started from day light until after mid night. Thousands of people, Buddhists followers and locals surrounded the service platform accompanied us until finish. The chanting and music echoed miles away in every corner from the Songshan mountain ranges to the sky of Defeng city.
Locals, Buddhist students, Kung fu students, monks, disciples and family from all over the world came to light joss-sticks, candles and incense to say "good bye" to the Bodhisattva. Some flew in, some drove, and some came on foot to thank the man who was a true monk. Thousands of Kungfu students and Shaolin Disciples were waiting outside of the Shaolin Temple gate for their turns.
At about 9:47, local government, and the currently appointed Abbot of the Shaolin Temple hosted morning farewell ceremony service.
Right after the morning service De Yang, Dejian and I boarded the bus, along with Shifu's body, and made our way to the crematory.
At the Crematory, De Yang presented Shifu's body. All present saw Shifu's body as soft and pliable, having finally entered the realm of non-being, free from all yokes and burdens that restricted his movements. He is always living in Chan path eventually found his infinite life or the realm of nirvana. He is truly free.
Master DeRu at His Shifu's giant memorial photo
As we left the Crematory, Pic 14, Dejian held Shifu's picture, followed by Xingqiu with Shifu's memorial plaque. De Yang and I were right behind with a student helper. De Yang held Shifu's earthly ashes. Behind me were all family members of De Generation and Xing Generation nephews. We met the Shaolin Temple's official chanting team, matching from the old Wushu Guan to the Pagoda forest where the Abbot and his entourage were waiting for us.
At last, we began our Shifu's final journey and delivered the Great Grand Master's remains to the underground palace in the Pagoda. Along with my Shifu's remains, we placed Buddhist Sutra, memorial tablets, Brass RuYi and his monk clothing and caps as well as meditation beads. His Pagoda, which is the only one in 200 years was built during his active life.
De Yang pointed to the calligraphy written by the great Master before he passed away: Monk of Chan (Zen) Buddhism to indicate that Shaolin monks are Monks of Chan (Zen) Buddhism not for Martial Arts. This is His only wish for the future generation.

The silent killer: carbon monoxide.It's why you should never use grills or camp stoves indoors. And when you use an emergency heating source, like a kerosene heater or generator be sure to ventilate properly.Although warning labels are clear.Director McAleer: "We see that almost every winter where a generator is not pulled out far enough away from the house or even outside folks will stick it in the garage open some doors and think they're fine." But gases can still seep into a home.To demonstrate how quick the fumes can become harmful we fired up a small generator outside the Waterville Fire Station next to the entrance.High levels of carbon monoxide were detected in a matter of minutes.Another source of concern are candles.Chief LaFountain: "People will light them up to see. Or they'll have the decorative scented candles. If it gets down to the last 1/2 inch stop using it because we've had those crack the glass and had wax come out and catch things on fire."

Do You Have An Alien Inside You?
Ever seen the movie Alien? You know the scene where the creature bursts out of a person?
I have one of those inside of me. It feels like a big knot of twisted rope wrapped around my intestines. The damn creature comes to life every time I try to write a new proposal, start a book or hit the dreaded sagging middle…
Hell she lives in me every freaking day.
Lately she's been torturing me in the worst way. I think she's on steroids or crack. Seriously. And her voice…holy cow…she sounds like fingernails on a chalk board that sounds something like:
"You call that an idea? Ever heard of CLICHE??? And your heroine, boring! I've had more fun at the dentist than reading about that chick. If you don't come up with something better, you can nail the lid down on that coffin you call a career."
I'm going to kill her. I swear I am. She's driving me out of my mind, making me lose sleep and, deep down, she scares the hell out of me.
What if she's right?
Lately I've been playing with a new idea. I have my last contract fulfilled, I've turning the option book idea, and so I have some down time. It's a good time to think about a new direction, try new things, push myself to be a better writer.
But that damned Alien inside of me–where is Sigourney Weaver when I need her? Or even Bruce Willis, he'd find a way to kill that bitch for me. I think I have a good idea, something a little bit different and challenging, but Alien Bitch will not leave me alone.
I have to know, is she an evil alien or is she my subconscious telling me the truth?
So this weekend, I went to the one person who will tell me the truth. While having breakfast, I told my husband I didn't know if I had the skill to tackle the idea I have. He set his fork down and told me that I can't think like that. This story will help me to grow as a writer and that I am very capable of doing it. Staying in the same rut is what will hurt me. But I have to give myself the time it takes to figure it all out.
I married a smart man, obviously.
Now how do I kill off that Alien Bitch inside me without creating a big messy whole in my stomach or chest?

What if millions of people around the world vanished -- suddenly, for no apparent reason -- in an event like the Rapture foretold in Christian prophecy? That's the premise of a new HBO series based on Tom Perrotta's much-admired novel The Leftovers. Perotta stopped by CBC Radio's Q on June 25 to discuss the adaptation, which he's working on with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof. You can listen to his conversation with Jian Ghomeshi below:
In both the book and the show, the "leftovers" are those remaining on Earth after an unexplained phenomenon causes many, many people to disappear mysteriously. Those at the centre of the story struggle with the unexplained disappearance of so many loved ones and the shockwaves it sends through their lives.
"What's happening in The Leftovers is that the existing religious narratives can't explain this event, and so people, their minds go into overdrive," Perrotta said. "It's about what a deeply human act it is to try to explain the unexplainable."
Perrotta is no stranger to seeing his work adapted. His novels Election and Little Children were both made into successful movies. But seeing his book take shape on the small screen has been a different experience. "It's challenging, but it's also exhilarating, because you're making something new," he said. "It's just a bigger world that we've created. It's not so much translating the book but building from the book."
However, while the world is expanding, the essence of the story will remain the same. Like fans of the book, those hoping that the show will eventually lead to a conclusive explanation may be disappointed. "The people who... want reassuring answers will be frustrated with The Leftovers," Perrotta said. "But that will make them very much akin to the characters."
The Leftovers premieres on HBO on Sunday, June 29 at 10 p.m. ET.
Tom Perrotta was also on CBC News to talk about the show:

Simcha Fisher, author of The Sinner's Guide to Natural Family Planning writes for several publications and blogs daily at Aleteia. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and ten children. Without supernatural aid, she would hardly be a human being.
Think what you want about Penn Jillette, he does have a way with words; so it pains me to have to heavily edit his colorful remarks in an interview with Salon. But it's awfully hard to type certain words when Mother Angelica's face keeps swimming before my eyes. ("Simmmcha! Stop ruuuuining EWTNnnnnnn!")
The interviewer asks Jillette (and for goodness' sake, I did warn you about the language on the link):
As someone who entertains audiences and seeks fans, isn't your vocal atheism working at cross purposes with your best interests?
and he responds,
People say, I want to give you credit for how brave you are for speaking out even though it could hurt you — I always say, "Well, yeah, except the more I talk about this, the more money I make." I'm doing fine. People have dealt with huge adversity from their atheism. I'm not one of them. I'm not Salman Rushdie. Maybe because I picked a different religion to not believe in.
Yup. As much fun as it is to whine and moan about the Christian Taliban in the U.S., criticizing Christianity, insulting Christ and Mary, and even physically attacking Christians is a pretty safe game to play.
Jillette says,
We did these mean-spirited shows on Christianity, creationism. And we steeled ourselves for a barrage of hate. And yes, there are mentally ill people who do death threats: We don't count them. Commenters on the Internet, we don't count them either. Mentally ill people come from all belief systems.
But the letters we got from sincere believers, really religious people, all the letters said, I disagree with you completely about your view of God but I love the show, I love the passion, I love how funny it is, and I love that you're speaking honestly. We'd see these and cry our f****** eyes out. If you sit next to me at the end of our show at the Rio, many times a night, someone will say to me, I'm a Christian, a very strong Christian, I disagree with a lot of what you say, but I love hearing you say it and I want you to know a lot of Christians love you.
Have you, as a Christian, ever done something like this? Have you gone out of your way to make real, human contact with an atheist or with some enemy of Christianity?
I will admit that I hardly ever do. It's so much easier to say, "Hey, they don't want anything to do with me and my deal? Their loss. I have enough on my hands trying to follow the ten commandments -- I don't think I can manage teaching anyone else!" Sometimes we even use false humility as an excuse: "It would actually hurt the Faith if I tried to put myself forward as an example of what a Christian looks like. I better keep my mouth shut and let the experts handle evangelization."
Well, it would be fantastic to get really educated about our own faith and then to deliberately go out and share it. As Frank Sheed says in Theology for Beginners,
If spiritual starvation is to be relieved, it must be largely the work of the laity, who are in daily contact with starvation's victims. We must come to an understanding of the great dogmas, so that we know them in themselves and in their power to nourish; we must bend every effort to mastering their utterance. Only then can we relieve the starvation that now lies all about us.
But at very least, we can do what Penn Jillette's Christian fans did: we can make contact. We can be civil. We can appreciate what is good in people, even when we disagree about fundamentals. We can refuse to be what Mark Shea calls reactionaries who "hate the whole idea of bringing new people into the Church at all ... and seem to be bent on making sure as few are allowed in and as many are driven away as possible."
Don't be that way. If a civil, friendly response from Christians can impress a guy like Penn Jillette, you never know who else is watching, listening, taking note of how you comport yourself as a Christian.
All the screaming, the threatening, the throwing of rocks and the scramble to be offensive and aggressive? That's not our gig. A very few people are called to be fiery prophets. If you relish being that way, it's probably a sign that you're doing more harm than good. For most of us, a real test of our faith would look like doing what Jillette's fans did: saying, "God bless you. We think you're wrong, but God bless you."
Sarah, Catholics don't cast spells or use them to have others do what they would not do with free will. we DO use prayers, asking God's grace and blessing to bring about a change of heart in us or others- a change we freely make or freely reject. Controlling through a spell is not love.
I can't thank you enough Email: ekakaspelltemple@ yahoo. com for all that you have done for me. About a year ago I my partner had a misunderstanding that lead to break up, we had both made BIG mistakes in our relationship. He ended up moving away from me to pursue a new life. I knew in my heart that he would be the only one to make me happy. I was relieved when I found your site and what you had to offer. I requested 3 to 4 day casting of the reunite us love spell and within 4days Denny company had relocated him back to our hometown where I still lived. We immediately reconnected and move in with each other i am so happy that i found you and i was all patient to following your order thank you Dr Ekaka. If you are in need of help i will advice you to call him +1 576 765 8972
Lisa, In this instance I agree. Simcha is making unclear what should be clear. We are not helping Penn or serving Christ or loving Christ by stoking Penn's obstinacy with our money and attention and lack of guidance. Read what he says. He is not listening yet and will only listen to those who applaud his humor no matter how gravely it harms the Church, his soul or other souls. He is the prodigal son still out squandering. He hasnt reached the place yet where he can or will listen or repent. This is making him rich. THAT is what matters to him and our abetting that does not bring him or others closer to Christ.
Mary, what the heck?
Simcha Fisher contaminates the waters while appearing to ask a legitimate question. Beware.
@Brian Sullivan:
I agree, they are two of a kind. More's the pity.
I can't help but feel that if Mother Angelica and Simcha did meet, they would be fast friends.
Thank you Liza. Its been a long day so its nice to hear a compliment. God bless.
Pam….THANK YOU!!!!! God bless!
"We did these really mean-spirited shows on Christianity, creationism…" "I disagree with a lot of what you say but I love hearing you say it." Admission of nastiness that is actually waiting for a hateful reaction. "Steeling ourselves" for the nasty reaction but impervious to it. The ones who react as one would expect are mentally ill or use the internet and therefore their comments count for nothing.(What is the connection between an internet comment and its worth please?)
Who brings this lost sheep to tears? The Christian who will not only sit through the mean-spirited show, but who "loves" hearing the mean-spirited show even though it disrespects the Blessed Mother, the Catholic faith, Jesus Christ. Is Christ suffering while the Christian watches this show? Definitely not the way the Spirit is leading me. Jesus ate with sinners who were willing to listen to what He had to say. He didn't sit around to be trashed by them. He tried to bring them to a higher level, not encourage them to stay where they were. I have no doubt that God loves Penn and Teller, but when a Catholic sits in front of a show that defiles the faith, they are spitting on Jesus. As soon as it begins, the channel should be changed. They are abetting the problem as Mr. Penn openly admits. They MAKE HIM RICHER. They do not help his soul. His focus is on wealth at the moment. It is not on pleasing others or God. This is a misinterpretation of what Pope Francis is asking I think. The Pope is trying to create a loving dialog. This is no dialogue. It's a one way street. He listens to only what he wants to hear and even tells you clearly that is all he will listen to. He sees no consequences to his actions and it doesn't sound like any of the Christian responders he listened to offered to make him aware of them. By all means write and tell him how much you love other parts of his work or the style of his comedy, but can you really look the bloody, bruised, crucified Lord in the eyes and sit through a show like that?
"All the screaming, the threatening, the throwing of rocks and the scramble to be offensive and aggressive? That's not our gig."—>
Alas, I've seen a lot of this "gig" on the Internet, from both the believer & non-believer sides.
As someone who falls closer to "non-believer" than "believer" on the spectrum, I'm always glad whenever people say they're praying for me, because I always appreciate the sentiment behind it (except, of course, in those cases when it's clearly meant as as passive-aggressive insult).
In fact, when my older two were preschoolers and I went to a MOPS group, I wrote a piece for our local newsletter about how to approach non-believers, and it was reprinted in their national newsletter.
Although I haven't seen much of them these past few years, I enjoyed Penn & Teller's work first as a non-believer and later as a Christian. Yes, they both have a bug up their—umm, sleeve—about religion and, yes, sometimes they say things that are offensive to Christians. But their shows are still entertaining, Teller is still a great magician, and they have sometimes performed worthwhile public service in warning people about the tricks used by unscrupulous "psychics" and con men and talking about things like overpriced funeral businesses.
But the quality of their shows aside, I'll say this: I had rather hear Penn Jillette had become Catholic than to hear the same news about any other public figure I can think of. And do you know why? Because I think he would make an awesome Catholic. He is loud-mouthed and a bit obnoxious, but I don't think he would ever back down from admitting the truth, once he had accepted it as truth. His witness would put our many mealy-mouthed, Catholic-in-name-only politicians to shame.
@enness—So, sue me.
Kristin, you ask "So Penn insults Christianity, and you're saying tht proper response is to say, 'I love your show?' I don't think she's saying that—and I'm not a particular fan of magic shows, so it would be a lie. :) By all means, keep on doing what you said you already do: treat those who disagree with you with genuine respect and love.
I am so WEARY of Christians/Catholics who are so defensive about various sins that they can no longer LOVE people—or they can only love people who are exactly like them. If I'd had to stop sinning/get cleaned up before becoming a Christian, or before Christians would've spoken to me lovingly and respectfully, I would still be far, far from Christ today. Thank heaven for a Christian college student who loved me even though my boyfriend stayed the night in my dorm room, I drank, I swore, etc. Her loving approach is the reason I wrestled with God for two long years, and finally became a Christian.
"Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you."
Wow!! What a fascinating link. I have to admit I'm not really sure who Penn and Teller are. I know the names of course, but until I clicked on the link, I was confusing them with those effeminate guys with the tigers. It wouldn't surprise me if one day Penn becomes a Catholic or Orthodox Christian.
Anyway, I think most of us who are out in the world, at least those of us in urban areas, meet atheists, agnostics, and those with animosity toward Christians in general and Catholics specifically ALL THE TIME. Even family members. For the most part, people keep their animosity to themselves once they find out you're a practicing Catholic. It becomes this unspoken disagreement when you make a very offhand reference to your daily life that happens to include some aspect of your faith - mostly, the response is uncomfortable silence. Every once in a while, they'll say something complimentary about the Church or Christianity and you know that the love is reaching them.
Also, just last week I answered my door even though I knew Jehovah Witnesses were on the other side. I spoke briefly with them and told them I was Catholic. We chatted a little about the Bible and its origins and the difference between our two versions. When they were turning to go they thanked me once again for talking with them but especially for opening the door. I do always open the door, but normally, I'm a little sassy with them - telling them I need better odds of getting to Heaven than their religion's willing to give me. I don't know last week's interaction with the Jehovah's Witnesses applies here, but I do think those women left my porch with a better view of Catholics than they had before they knocked.
I will admit that I *think* I do this. Living in San Francisco for 10 years as a Catholic…you'd better accustom yourself to meeting people where they are and working from there. Though it be ever so cheesy, they really will know we are Christians by our love (by our love). The more we override our perhaps natural revulsion to some people's behavior and see the beautiful person made in the image and likeness of God, the easier it is to look past all the things they do that are bad and realize that all of us are somewhere on this earthly journey, and some have the gift of faith from an early age and some receive it later; but our job is just to facilitate that gift through Christ in His time, not ours. Like Simcha said, very few are called to be fiery prophets (ref: the apostles), and that everyone's grandma would tell you you get more flies with honey (if it's flies you're after).
I'm not sure I agree. So Penn insults Christianity, and the proper response is to praise his show? I'm all for treating nonbelievers with genuine love and respect, but saying, "I LOVE THE SHOW IT'S GREAT (oh yeah and I don't agree with you) BUT I LOVE WHAT YOU DO" rubs me the wrong way.
Based on the supportive comments from my anti-Catholic Facebook friends to Pope Francis' latest interview (honestly, I can't keep up!) I wouldn't be surprised if Penn and Teller find a certain visitor from Rome, dressed in white, greeting them at the end of one of their Rio shows in the near future. The approach may be muddle-some, but apparently it works.
What are the elements of a cause of action for libel?
The elements of a libel suit are:
1. A defamatory statement;
2. Published to a third party;
3. Which the speaker knew or should have known was false;
4. That causes injury to the subject of the communication
Defamation per se
Libel per se means "libel on its face." These are false statements that are inherently harmful to one's reputation and character that they do not need to be proven. Most states in the Union recognize some form of libel per se. The common examples of libel per se include: statements that injure another's reputation in his trade, business or profession; statements claiming someone has a "loathsome disease"; statements claiming that a person is "unchaste"; and allegations that an individual has been involved in criminal activity.
Another important case was that of Gertz v. Welsh. In that case the Supreme Court distinguished the protections against defamation associated with a public figure and a private person. According to the Supreme Court a private person "is more vulnerable to injury, and the state interest in protecting them is correspondingly greater" than a public figure who has access to the media and a "more realistic opportunity to counteract false statement than private individuals normally enjoy." For this reason the Supreme Court held that, unlike public officials, private persons do not need to prove "malice," only the knowing or reckless dissemination of false statements.

"You presume that secular people (atheists, agnostics, humanists, pagans, etc.) are somehow diseased and/or disfigured. Your initial reaction is repulsion and you have to make an effort to not run away screaming to be cleaned because you've been contaminated."
I am completely befuddled where and how you got this idea.
"Please excuse me for being repulsed by censoring of free speech, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason as is practiced by your fans."
You have just entered dangerously near the realm of libel, which is not protected by the First Amendment. Not that there is very much any of us can do about it. All I can do is respond that it's pretty cowardly to make up such claims about strangers while shielded by a pseudonym.

@all of you who don't know "who is Penn Jillette?"
You must have a computer, and you know how to type, or your comments wouldn't be here. What is your problem about researching the Internet? Just type "Penn Jillette" into any search engine and thousand of links will pop up in a fraction of a second!
Are your computers locked by parental controls established by your local priest?
Simcha, I really think you want to be open to contact with atheists, but you are being extremely offensive.
You presume that secular people (atheists, agnostics, humanists, pagans, etc.) are somehow diseased and/or disfigured. Your initial reaction is repulsion and you have to make an effort to not run away screaming to be cleaned because you've been contaminated.
At least Pope Francis is making an attempt to explain that non-believers have a sense of morality. You're trying to convince your readers that they should not be daunted by their quest to evangelize—that we can be "trained" to believe and convert if you approach us in the right way.
So, Ms. Umbridge, I don't know, deep down or otherwise, that I am stained with sin and "need" to be saved. I forgive you for being repulsed by my atheism, and please excuse me for being repulsed by censoring of free speech, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason as is practiced by your fans.
By all means, make human contact. But make it authentic. Telling someone you appreciate what they have to say when you really don't is (1) lying, which is a pretty big sin, (2) transparently phony, which ruins any credibility you wish to have with this person, and (3) infuriatingly passive aggressive. Control your temper but be honest! And sometimes, when you know that contact is a near occasion for the sin of wrath, leave it for someone else. Pray for the atheist but DO NOT TELL HIM YOU ARE PRAYING FOR HIM. Pray because you trust God, not because it gives you something to throw out in a debate.
Corita, I think that must be it. I haven't seen the show, but I consider this clip of his on cold reading a must-listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vHS0dZl3OU
"A very few people are called to be fiery prophets. If you relish being that way, it's probably a sign that you're doing more harm than good."
It is so frustrating to me as a Protestant to read people like JoAnna of "A Star of Hope" who do a serious disservice to the Catholic church by making comments like "Why should we care about them? It's not like they're going to listen." Actually, we are listening and comments like that make us less likely to want to listen because it says to us that we're not worth talking to.
Why do people think doing this…
Posted by Joe on Thursday, Sep 19, 2013 1:57 PM (EDT):
"A very few people are called to be fiery prophets. If you relish being that way, it's probably a sign that you're doing more harm than good."
*cough*Mark Shea*cough*
...is necessary and worthwhile?
Regardless of a film's budget, it's the actors themselves who give life to the script.
It is highly likely that the Christians who say, "I disagree with your atheism but love your show" are praising his intellectual honesty and complete refusal to buy into *any* idea without investigating it.
Honesty and truth-seeking are always to the Good, and believers know that.
It took me all day to simmer down from the articles you linked to. I couldn't be certain I'd be civil if I commented. The article you linked to on your blog about the guy who brews beer in his gut was a huge help however. I agree with your point, and I also agree with St. Theres of L.'s advice about dealing with boors that tempt us to act uncivilly : flee—until the temptation passes. Thank you.
I think you have misread Simcha's article. She didn't that she approves of Penn Jillette's views nor did she write that she likes how he expresses his views. What Simcha did do was to quote Jillette as saying he appreciates hearing from persons who disagree with him, but do so civilly.
Simcha uses this quote to explain the need for us to reach out to those we disagree with, and to make a human connection. Establishing mutual trust and respect is essential for evangelization.
Ooooh, this is a good one Simcha. It made me think, it made me reassess, I think I have to go to confession…
I still am unacquainted with Mr. Jillette, but I agree with Simcha's points.Very good article.Thank you!
How dare you accuse me of being a reactionary, I resemble that remark!
You can't have your cake and eat it too! How can you as a "practicing catholic", embrace what Penn Jillette advocates? I didn't notice where his "FANS" said, "We think you're wrong, but God bless you". Instead, i see, " i disagree a lot with what you have to say, but I love hearing you say it". How can you or any Catholic for that matter love God, but "love" listening to someone who condemns Christ and Mother Mary and advocates for blasphemies against the Holy Spirit? (recommend reviewing the Catechism and Mark 3:29)
He (Jillette) took the Blasphemy Challenge at TAM in Vegas and mentioned the Blasphemy Challenge project by the Rational Response Squad on his radio show as a supporter of the project. The Blasphemy Challenge continues to receive entries. Heres the link for you to view: http://www.blasphemychallenge.com. Think about the number of folks that are "FANS" of his who may have taken this challenge. Geez, not sure if you have kids, but just think, it could have been them! But that's okay because a real test of our faith is what his "FANS" did!
OMG, they like eat with sinners. Do they know what kind of sins he committed?
I cannot think of anyone better to evangelize Jillette than some of his own fans.
***Don't be that way. If a civil, friendly response from Christians can impress a guy like Penn Jillette, you never know who else is watching, listening, taking note of how you comport yourself as a Christian.***
Yes and AMEN!
And imagine this, readers: If this embrace of civility works with Jillette, how much *more* might it work with the fellow Catholics we've decided to label with epithets much worse than merely "reactionary"? The Catholic blogosphere must somehow learn this very lesson—that it applies both in-house and beyond. Again, yes and amen!
Sorry, who is Penn Jillette?
@Carl B.: "venomous "evangelization"
How exactly does following the example of Jesus Christ and St John the Baptist, as I encourage in my post, constitute "venomous evangelization", "screaming" at someone, and "doom and gloom"?
There's even quotes to illustrate my point to avoid confusion: Jesus gave us a very clear example to follow in these matters: Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you, go now and SIN NO MORE" - Jn 8:11; Jesus said, "See, you are well again. STOP SINNING OR SOMETHING WORSE MAY HAPPEN TO YOU." - Jn 5:14.
@Carl B: "speak the truth in love"
Let me get this straight. You truly believe this is a good example of "speaking the truth in love":
A person of the Christian Faith watches and is entertained by Penn & Teller while they do "mean spirited shows on Christianity and insult Christ and Mary". And then the Christian writes to Penn and says "i disagree but I love your show".
You sound very confused my friend. With so-called "Christians" like that the Church doesn't need enemies.
"A very few people are called to be fiery prophets. If you relish being that way, it's probably a sign that you're doing more harm than good."
*cough*Mark Shea*cough*
Simcha - you must watch this video of Penn Jillette discussing a time one of his fans gave him a bible. It's so moving, that I have never been able to forget it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhG-tkQ_Q2w
Congratulations, Stephen. You completely missed the point of the article. We are to speak the truth in love. I am a former atheist myself. I was did not become Christian because a believer was screaming at me that I would got o Hell. It was the heart of the Gospel message that drew me. When I swam the Tiber, it was not some doom and gloom internet personality that brought me in, but the action of the Holy Spirit working through lay Catholics who quietly lived their vocations. That is our first priority: to live our vocations, and when opportunity arises point the lost to Jesus Christ. We pray for them—just as Jesus prayed for those who nailed Him to the Cross. The world will not be won through venomous "evangelization", but through fervent prayer that the Holy Spirit works in the hearts od people everywhere.
Well, game, set, and match.
How is sucking up to an atheist who trashes Christianity from atop a highly visible platform "a real test of our faith"? That's some of the most nonsensical rubbish I've ever heard. What's happening to the millions of youth and poorly catechized who are being led far from God by Penn & Teller and their ilk, while you and other Christians are making "nice nice" and providing them an audience/financial support, and sending them fan mail?
How did you come to the conclusion that emulating a holy prophet of God does more harm than good? We're strongly encouraged by Heaven to model ourselves after the patriarchs, prophets. apostles, evangelists and saints! John the Baptist didn't mince words and Jesus said of him, "Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen NO ONE GREATER than John the Baptist." We should ignore Jesus ringing endorsement of St. John and instead model ourselves after you and other ill-advised fans of Penn & Teller??!! Moreover, Jesus gave us a very clear example to follow in these matters: Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you, go now and SIN NO MORE" - Jn 8:11; Jesus said, "See, you are well again. STOP SINNING OR SOMETHING WORSE MAY HAPPEN TO YOU." - Jn 5:14. That's a far cry from "I disagree with you but I'm a big fan and love the show."
Ugh. But it's so much easier to just say the heck with it. :( We speak a totally different language! Sometimes it gets frustrating - it's the same tired debates I've been having since middle school. That we have been having for 2,000 years. Doesn't anyone else get tired of being civil??
Thank you for this reminder! I clearly needed it.
This is probably one of the best articles I've read here in a while. Thanks for picking up on the Salon story and sharing your thoughts!
All that is good in atheism, came from Christianity. I just wish I could get an atheist to see that.

When I Awoke
The fogginess in my mind cleared, and I looked up to trees, and the sky, and birds... And his face.
Alex towered over me. Suddenly I felt very vulnerable - had he tasted my blood and realised he was powerless to resist? Had he come back to finish the job?
We stared into each other's eyes, just for a moment, neither one of us daring to make the first move. He broke contact first, and took a few steps away from me.
Bark crunched under his feet as he walked.
'...I'm sorry,' he declared.

Trying Not to Say...
So many things we are tempted to say but are trying not to. It could be something good, like an exciting surprise or the "L" word, or something bad like telling your friend that her outfit is scary or just telling someone you can't stand them.
So many times a day I choke back or bite down on words that want to spill from my lips. There are so many things I should not say.
I want to tell that woman over there just what I think of her choice of fashion. I bite back the rudeness, knowing it serves no purpose.
I want to be cynical and say just what is on my mind, express my doubt in the wonderfulness of the world around me.
Trying not to let out the thoughts in my head, trying so hard not to say the wrong thing.
"I hate you."
"I love you."
"That outfit looks bad."
"You look so good."
Good or bad, so many things I am afraid to say. Things I know I would regret, others I should regret, and some that just plain scare me.
Can you tell when I am fighting not to say the words that are choking me? So scared they will be the wrong words, terrified of how you will react.
Can you tell when I wish I cared a little less? Can you tell when I am thinking something far too hard, dying to say it, knowing I should not?
Trying not to offend, trying not to shock, trying not to freak you out.
All the words, some days I think I will open my mouth and they will fly out, fully formed, visible to all. I think they will tangle my fingers when I go to write.
I await a Freudian slip of epic proportions.
Then a word slips out and I cannot pull it back, I cannot make it unsaid, untyped. I cannot make it go away.
Please forgive me. Maybe one day I will tell you. Maybe one day it will be safe.
Until then, I am trying not to say...

IRS Releases Draft Healthcare Tax Credit Form
What tax-exempt organizations need to know about IRS Form 8941 and the new small-business healthcare tax credit.
The IRS has released a draft version of Form 8941, the form that small businesses and tax-exempt organizations will use to calculate the small-business healthcare tax credit when they file returns next year.
Small businesses will include the amount of the credit on their income tax returns. Tax-exempt organizations will claim the credit on Form 990-T, which is currently used to report and pay taxes on unrelated business income and will be revised for the 2011 filing season to enable eligible tax-exempt organizations to also claim the healthcare tax credit.
For tax years 2010 to 2013, the maximum credit is 35 percent of premiums paid by eligible small-business employers and 25 percent of premiums paid by eligible tax-exempt organizations. Beginning in 2014, the maximum tax credit will go up to 50 percent of premiums paid by eligible small-business employers and 35 percent of premiums paid by eligible tax-exempt employers. The maximum credit goes to smaller employers—those with 10 or fewer full-time employees paying average annual wages of $25,000 or less. The credit is completely phased out for employers that have 25 employees or more or that pay average wages of $50,000 per year or more.
The final version of Form 8941 and instructions will be available later this year.

Reading Textures from a SketchUp Model Using the Reader SDK
September 29th, 2008 | Published in Google SketchUp
In case you haven't looked yet, we have an SDK that allows you to read SketchUp files using a C++ interface. This allows you to write your own exporter for Google SketchUp or an importer for another application to read SketchUp files. Oftentimes you want all the polygons on your exported model to be triangles. Since most faces in a SketchUp model are quadrilateral polygons, you will need to triangulate the faces. Also, if a face has a texture you will want the uvq coordinates of the triangulated faces as well. Besides the face and the mesh that represents the face after it is triangulated, there are several other objects in the SketchUp Reader SDK that are used to read the uvq texture coordinates of a face. For example, there is the texture writer object. This is the object used to write out the face textures to disk. In order to retrieve the uvq texture coordinates of the mesh you also need a UV helper object and also a perspective object.
First, using the SkechUp document object, create the texture writer object:
First, using the SkechUp document object, create the texture writer object:
ISkpApplication* sketchup_application = NULL;
ISkpTextureWriter* texture_writer = NULL;
Next, retrieve the ISkpCorrectPerspective interface of the texture writer:
ISkpCorrectPerspective* perspective = NULL;
For each face retrieve its UV helper object using the perspective object:
ISkpUVHelper* uv_helper = NULL;
                  true, // front face
Finally, create the triangulated mesh:
ISkpPolygonMesh* mesh = NULL;
     PolygonMeshPoints |
     PolygonMeshUVQFront |
     perspective, &mesh);
Index through the vertices of the mesh and retrieve the position value of each vertex. If the face object belongs to a group or a component instance, the position needs to be transformed. The homogeneous transformation used to transform the position is the aggregate of the transformation of the parent group or component instance. If the parent is nested in other group(s) or component instance(s) then you the need to aggregate all the transformations.
double position[] = {0, 0, 0};
mesh->_GetPoint(index, position);
Finally, retrieve the uvq value that corresponds to the vertex position. The uvq value does not need to be transformed like the position value:
double uvq[] = {0, 0, 0};
Stay tuned for further tips and tricks.

First record bought:
A SEVEN-INCH on sea-blue vinyl which my parents are keeping for me. It's a collection of Maori folk tales set to music, telling such tales as "Whale Gods and Tani" and "King of the Forest". I lived in New Zealand as a child and our dog, a collie, was called Tani. She's dead now, and the record reminds me of her.
Last record bought:
A pounds 4.49 COMPILATION of Arvo Part's works. It is a collection of his simplest and most powerful compositions. This has very simple piano refrains and use of voices. He is an Estonian composer for which I can find no comparison, except maybe Gregorian chants, but more beautiful. It reminds me of silence, of being away from cities and totally alone.

Wouldn't It Be Nice?Mature
Remake of the Beach Boys
Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back to a time when we could change the past?
And wouldn't it be nice if we could make it so the things we needed could still last.
But some things well they can't stay forever
But it would be nice just to make them better..
Wouldn't it be nice if I could see you? Wouldn't it be nice if we could talk?
Wouldn't it be nice if you had known me as a threw tantrums and learned to walk?
They say that things all happen for a reason
But couldn't you have known me for a season?
Though I think it's pointless even wondering about you
Because I think my mother doesn't want to talk about you
But if you were here
Oh grandmother dear..
Wouldn't it be nice?
There's no point really to sing about you
You're a person who I never knew..
Little you can do..
But wouldn't it be nice?
Wouldn't it be nice? ♥

Illuminating your Divine Journey through Numerology and Astrology
Mercury Retrograde
What does it mean and how does it impact YOU?
MERCURY RETROGRADE: The purpose of Mercury retrograde is to review and revise our life and our connection with reality. The timing of this universe is geared toward the Sun as it moves through the zodiac. Mercury has an orbit that at times gets ahead of the Sun allowing us to look into the future toward new and innovative ideas. However, we cannot continue in that vein until we come back to the present designated by the Sun and put our new ideas into manifestation. During the time that Mercury jumps ahead, we ultimately have to bring the ideas back into the present to test and evaluate to see how they fit into our life. As Mercury retrogrades back into the present, the connection with the Sun happens as we test drive our ideas and re-align with reality and the natural timing of the universe.
Mercury Retrograde for 2017 - The Power of Initiative & Intention
In 2017, Mercury retrogrades three times, beginning with the first as a new nine-year cycle is put into motion. Similar to a Broadway Play, our stage lights shine on the prominent elements and events that capture the themes for this nine-year cycle and the themes that will continue to unfold for the next nine-years. The people, places and things begin to change and transition us into our new environment preparing us for this important nine-year cycle. The power of inner peace is to bring forward new visions and to see the Spiritual Play for this theme and growth. Now we can take the gift within each of the situations and circumstances and see and appreciate the gifts given to us and expand into new directions. As Mercury brings information into our life that transitions each of the core areas, we can begin to transform our life to move into our new directions.
